true Christian would give liberty to all, and extend to
all the blessings of citizenship, until the earth should
become a scene of happiness, and men, and angels,
and God himself rejoice in the spectacle. The Learned
Gentleman sat down amidst continued applause.

The resolution was then put and carried unani-
mously.
Mr. HYAM HYAMS proposed the second resolution,
which was seconded by Mr. DAVID HESSE, sup-
ported by Mr. PARRY, and carried unanimously :
" Resolved, That the electors of the city of London,
by the return of the Baron Lionel de Rothschild as
one of their representatives in the Commons House
of Parliament, have expressed forcibly their convic-
tion of the inutility and injustice of such exclusion,
and of its incompatibility with the spirit of the age
and the institutions of the country."
Other resolutions, expressive of gratification at the
Bill which Lord Jord John Russell has introduced
into the House of Commons ; conveying the thanks
of the meeting to that portion of the press, and to
those Christian gentlemen who have furthered the
principles of religious emancipation ; and adopting
petitions to the Legislature embodying the first two
resolutions, were also carried unanimously and with
acclamati',n.
Several gentlemen of eloquence and ability ad-
dressed the meeting in enforcing these resolutions,
and at the conclusion a vote of thanks was passed to
the Chairman, when the meeting, which had beon
throughout most unanimous, and will not probably be
without its effect, separated.

CAMERON'S COALBROOK STEAM-
COAL, AND SWANSEA AND LOUGHOR
RAILWAY COMPANY.
The usual annual extraordinary general meeting
of the above company was held yesterday, at the
offices in Moorgate-street—Colonel Cameron, chair.
man of the board of directors, in the chair.
A dividend of 8 per cent. for the past half year
was declared upon the colliery account.
The Railway Report was read, from which it. ap-
peered that the company was prepared to proceed
with the line, but the directors recommended that
the works should be delayed for a short time. The
cut of coal in the company's collieries had increased
during the last half-year as compared with the previous
half-year, by between three and four thousand tons ;
and in order to render the price of their coal less de-
pendent upon the fluctuations of freightage charges,
the company had determined to purchase a fleet, and
become their own shippers.
Mr. B. SoLomoxs suggested that the dividend had
better be postponed till the next meeting. Two
calls had recently been made, and he strongly sus-
pected that the proceeds had been applied to the pur-
poses of this dividend.
The CHAIRMAN said the Honourable Proprietor
was mistaken, the dividend was paid out of profits.
The balance-sheet would be laid before the next
meeting, a copy of which he would undertake should
be sent to each shareholder a week before the holding
of that meeting.
The report was adopted, and a vote of thanks
having been passed to the Chairman, the meeting
terminated.

WEST CORNWALL RAILWAY.
A special general meeting of the proprietors of the
West Cornwall Railway was held yesterday at
the offices of the company in Broad-street-buildings,
for the purpose of deciding whether the works of the
line should be proceeded with at once or postponed
for two years ; Captain Moorsoin in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN stated that the company was under
certain liabilities, which could not be met if they
were inclined to postpone their works, and therefore
the directors proposed to ask the shareholders for
power to proceed with so much of the line as lay
between Hoyle and Penzance, a distance of about 17
miles, which could be made for 80,0001., and which it
was estimated would yield a return of between 8 and
9 per cent.
After some discussion, the meetinh proceeded to
vote upon the question for which it had been con-
vened, when there appeared—
For proceeding.
Against it .
The assents being more than three-fifths of the
shares delivered in, the directors were empowered
under the Act to proceed with the works.
The meeting terminated with the customary vote
of thanks to the Chairman.

principal officers of the same court, sat in the White
Hart Inn, Salisbury, for the purpose of taking the
proofs of debts in this matter. About 200 proofs,
