RUGBY, DERBY, AND MANCHES-

TER RAILWAY.

A meeting of shareholders, convened by advertise-
ment in the Derby Reporter, " To take into considera-
tion what resolutions should be taken to compel the di
rectors to finally settle the affairs of this company, in
conformity with an Act 9 and 10 Victoria, cap. 28, to
facilitate the dissolution of certain railway companies,"
was held at Derby on Thursday last, when one of the
shareholders inquired from the party calling the meeting
what information could be given as to the present state
of the affairs of the company ; and he stated that the
object of that meeting was to ascertain that fact ; Teri
no one appearing able to afford the required informa-
tion, it was intimated to the meeting by one of the
shareholders present, that Mr. Moss, a gentleman
resident in Derby, who was one of the acting committee,
had recently attended a meeting of that body in
Londor, and that he had no doubt, if it were wished,
he would attend and give the necessary explanations.
Whereupon it was suggested and carried that that gen-
tleman should be solicited to attend, and he attended ac
cordingly; and entered into full rxplanatioas, stating
that the remaining funds of the Company were partly in
Exchequer-bills, and partly deposited with bankers at
interest, and that no &rector or committeeman had any
of such funds in his own hands. That certain large de-
mands had been made by different individuals upon the
Company, which had been reduced, and were now con-
sidered settled or on a certain footing for speedy araage-
ment. But there was one claim, that of Mr. Brewer,
Via solicitor, which the committee had been advised to
reject, and upon which an action had arisen ; but the
plaintiff had not yet given notice of trial, and the de-
fendants were not at present in a position to compel him
to proceed or abandon his action ; and although the
company could at once return to the shareholders a
further instalment of 2s. 6d. per share, laying by a
sufficient fund to answer the claims upon the Company,
yet as the managing committee hoped there would be a
further sum to return, and the expenses of making each
return were very considerable, they had, before knowing
of the present meeting, determined on calling a meeting
of sharehold,rs, and were only waiting for the chairman
to fix a day to lay the affairs of the company before
them, and take their opinion as to whether a return
should now be made, or the proceedings by Mr. Brewer
should first be determined ; when the persons present
expressed their entire satisfaction with the explanations
afforded, and their opinion that it was better to defer
any further return until the result of the pending pro-
ceedings could be ascertained ; and a Tote of thanks
being proposed to Mr. Moss, who had kindly attended to
give the information, by Mr. Bainbrigge, and seconded
be Mr. Walton, was responded to by all present, when
the meeting broke up.

from abroad to the port of London, during the past week

plies, which is unprecedented in extent, and consequent
