KENsINOTON LEWIS a die 1 if the m
pared to grant the di. e;tors a i at solute ;ele
tions specified?
Mr. JAMES (s)licitor) explained-that tt e directors did nt t
seek an absolute relcahe shareho!ii• rs ou'd still 1 e
entitled to a divi ion in such funds as migl t remati after tLe
first amount had been paid.
Mr. Durros said that not one member of that board had
made one halfpenny. They had been misled by their engi-
neer from beginning to end.—( Hear, hear.)
Mr. SPACKCEAN was desirous of saying one word. He
was himself a small rerareholder, but independently of that
he represented persons, respectable parties from
Scotland, holding to the extent of above a thousand
shares. An attempt had been made to cast aspersions on the
motives of those who had signed the requisition, but he
thought these motives could be easily explained. They
could not dissolve the co-partnership which then existed
between the shareholders, excepting under Lord Dalhousie's
Act, and therefore it was that the requisitionists called
that meeting.--(Hear, hear.) He disclaimed all inten-
tion of wishing to impute improper or dishonourable
motives to the members of the board of direction, but he had
been instructed by his constituents to this course, for they
well knew that no other dissolution would be legal or bind-
ing.—(Hear, hear.) They were now, however, ready to take
the 1/. 7s. Gd., more especially as Mr. James had informed
them Out this did not infer an absolute release.

PRICE SD.

Mr. R. FISHER moved, and Mr. K. LEWIS seconded a re-
solution, "That this Company be now dissolved."—Carried
unanimously.

Mr. R. COvrrE moved, and Mr. WEnn seconded a resolu-
tion, « That the vote of dissolution shallinot betaken to be
an act of bankruptcy."—Also carried.
Mr. KENstscroN LEWIS then disclaimed any and every
intention of throwing any imputation upon either the chair-
man or directors of the Company.
The CHAIR :MAN—Why, this gentleman, who speaks so
kindly, went to the Court of Chancery, and there deposed on
oath that I went out of the country to avoid my creditors,
he knowing at the time that the fact was not so, and yet he
states on his belief that I left the country for this purpose.
Mr. K. LEWIS was now aware that the chairman was not
out of the country to avoid any action ; but he bad men-
tioned his name with fifteen more, and in two cases out of
three he v. a ; right.
After a rather warm altercation, in which, occasionally,
more than three or four voices joined, the scrutineers pro-
ceeded to take the votes, when there being more present than
required by the Act, the Company was declared dissolved,
and not by act of bankruptcy.
Thanks were then voted to the chairman, the directors,
and the scrutineers, which having been respcnetzd to, the
meeting separated.

PUBLIC BA.TIIS AND WASIEMOUSES.—Among the
mane Acts which have passed during the last session for
the amelioration of the social condition of the community,
not the least important is the Act for the establishment of
public baths and washhouses. We are glad to find that the
Committee for the establishment of baths and washhonsea
for the labouring classes have published the Act for England
with plain directions and forms for putting it into execution.

[ADVERTISEMENT.i— The following extraordinary
George Wright, of High-street, Vauxhall, well known at
ten years, but for the last five his health had been so bad that he
could do nothing, being greatly emaciated, suffering from a diseased
liver, and also the dropsy, besides an affection of the spine. He was
tled-au:-liitalhl-I:al:,°‘wvAhter'se
as
n the hospital at Winchester for Ave months, and afterwards in
clisisne:s t ice:en
Westminster Hospital for three months longer. To sum up, from
almost a dying state he has been restored to such comparative health
and vigour, in the short space of five weeks, as to astonish all who
know him, and this by Holloway's Pills, which may be had at Pro-
fessor Holloway's r.statilishment, 244, Strand; and cf All respect-
able medicine vendors throughout the civilised world

AN ENTIIUSIAST.—Vire read in a Belgian journal—
" The sale of the gallery of paintings of M. Van N., of
Brussels, who died in the course of the last month, is ad-
vertised. This celebrated amateur not only devoted his life,
but sacrificed the whole of his fortune, which originally pro-
duced him a revenue of 40,0G0f. a-year, to his passion for
'assessing the masterpieces of the great Flemish artists.
Reduced by this to the want of even the necessaries of life.
he could not be induced to part with even one of his cherished
treasures. At last, an old servant, who continued to serve
him without wages, converted the gallery into a source for
the maintenance of his master and himself, by applying the
gratuities given him for showing the splendid collection to
visitors in purchasing food for them bath. A few years ago
the faithful and affectionate old servant died, and M. Van
hopeless of finding another on the same terms, took the
office upon himself.. When visitors came to view the gallery,
he put on the old livery, and attended them through it, dis-
-.laving a critical acquaintance with the merits of each pic-
ture that delighted all and astonished those who were able to
appreciate his erudition. Sometimes the visitors, supposing
him to be really the servant, would make the master the
subject of sarcastic observations, some callitig him an eccen-
tric fool, and others a madman, and wondering that his
friends did not have him declared a lunatic. All this he
listened to either with perfect indifference, or making palliat-
ing excuses, as his old servant used to do, and, when their
curiosity was satisfied, holding out his band for the accus-
tomed fee." •
