money expanded, for 13,390,521 f. 10a. ; the interest of
four per cent. on the amount paid in by each shareholder
will be paid on and after November 5, in raris, at ,±te::srs
C. Laffitte, Blount, and Co. ; at Boulogne, at ..Niessrs. A.
Adams and Co. ; and in London, at Messrs. Masttrman
and Co. Each share will have a right to receive the sum
of 11 f. 70c.
When the Secretary had concluded, several share-
holders demanded explanation on various points.
M. BUREAUD RIOFFREY inquired if it would not be
possible for the board of directors, since the company had
12,000,000 f. in hand, to postpohe the calls until money
was absolutely required ? - -
The CHAIRMAN replied that the board of directors
were not authorised to alter what was fixed on the point
in question by article six of the statutes, which declared
that " each of the seven other tenths should be payable
from three months to three months after the date of
the third tenth being required." The board would,
however, give as much indulgence for the payment of
the calls as possible ; and in place of having the shares
of parties not paying up sold, as it had a right to do, it
would only require interest from the period that the call
was made.
M. ADAM, Mayor of Boulogne, entered into some
explanations tending to show the superiority which the
Boulogne line must eventually possess over that of
Calais.
The accounts were then passed, and an authorization
was granted to the board of directors to sell such por-
tions of land as were not required for the services of the
company.
The meeting then brcke up.

It may be as well to state' that the allusion made in
the report of the kiad intentions of the Minister of Public
Works refers to that Honourable Gentleman's having,
during his late visit to Boulogne, expressed the willing-
ness of the French Government to bear a portion of the
expenses of throwing a second bridge across the har-
bour, in order to connect the railway station with the
town, in addition to that at present in the course of con-
struction, the whole cost of which falls on the Govern-
ment. He also declared that he was willing to support
the project of further improvements in the port of lion
logne— a matter of great importance to the company,
as every amelioration in the port ought certainly to
prove beneficial for traffic and general movement et the
line.

GREAT LUXENIBURG.
A general meeting of the shareholders of the above
company took place on the 20th instant, at the seat of
the Administration at Brussels. M. F. F. de Cloasman,
the president, in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN stated the origin and progress of the
society. It had been the original intention of the fon•
dateurs when they issued their prospectus to commence
a line from the valley of the Meuse, near to Namur, to
continue as far as Arlon. At that time it had never for
one moment been contemplated that the advantage of the
line could be so far increased as to fix its starting-place
in the capital —at the very gates of the capital of Bel-
gium. Its original starting point was Namur; however,
after increasing energy on the part of the direction, this
desideratum had been secured to the company by an act
of concession, dated June 18, 1846; thus were they em-
powered by means of their line to connect in the most
direct manner Arlon and Luxemburg with the capital of
the kingdom. The company had been definitely consti-
tuted, and its statutes confirmed by Act of 11th of
September last, to which the royal assent had been
subsequently affixed—in fact, every requirement pre
scribed by the law of Belgium had been fulfilled to-
wards perfecting the legal constitution and authorisa•
Lion of its statutes. Although the directors had
sought for and obtained the increased advantages
above-named to their original undertaking, they had
felt it their duty to call a general meeting of the
proprietors, in order to sub:nit to them their proceedings
and to take their v up en what had been achieved on
their behalf. With regard to the pros and cons that had
been urged by another C,aapany he (the president) had
only to take his standing upon the authority of the state,
with regard to the position of their line ; their standing
was authorised and guardel by all that could substan-
tiate and protect society. It was fur the meeting to
decide by their free will whether they w, uld accept of
the additional advantage offered to them by the directors,
namely, of possessing themselves of Brussels as a starting
point to their undertaking.
The proposition was received with acclamation, and
universally assented to.
The CHAIRMAN then announced to the meeting that
the interest on all deposits would be raised from 4 to 5
per cent., dated after the Ist instant. Every share-
holder would be at liberty to fulfil any outstanding lia-
bilities and avail himself of this arrangement.
It was also assured to the meeting that the works
should be immediately commenced and continued with
the greatest activity.
The direction have also announced that a repot t,
setting forth every minutia of the comp my's operations
is in the course of preparation and will be distributed
immediately.
