LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 22, 1851.

proprietors. The board concur in the opinion that the
.t..cinabc:: of .diret::„.;rs -shcold be increatt-,1 to thirty,
the L the Lumber to retire annually atloald Le
six, as recommended by the committee. The la•
mented death of Mr. E. J. Mozley, one of the com-
pany's auditors, makes it necessary that the proprietors
should at the present meeting appoint another in his place.
The directors who retire, in conformity with the Act of
Amalgamation, are—Captain the Honourable S. T.
Carnegie, R.N., Lewin Mozley, Esq., and George Hall
Lawrence, Esq. The directors cannot close their report
without announcing to the proprietors the retirement of the
Deputy-Chairman, Charles Lawrence, Esq., successively
Chairman of the Liverpool and Manchester and Grand
Junction Railways. and, since the amalgamation, acting as
Deputy Chairman of this company. In retiring from the
active duties of a railway director, Mr. Lawrence carries
with him the esteem and affection of his colleagues, with
some -A whom he has been associated for the long period of
twenty-five years. The revenue of the past half-year has
been charged with dividend and interest upon the total capital
expended to the 31st December last, including 3,491,1061.
expended upon works not yet yielding revenue, as also with
the dividend payable to the proprietors of the Stour Valley
Railway. The only further charges to be anticipated are
the dividend to the shareholders in the Buckinghamshire
Railway, and the interest upon the unexpended portion of
the estimates sanctioned at the general meetings of 22d Feb.
and 16th Aug. last. The bond debt has been further re-
duced, and the debentures which expired during the half-
year have been renewed, or replaced, at the rate of 31/i
per cent.
From the statemeat of the half-year's ac-

counts, it will be seen that the net proceeds
are ...— ..._.£557,076 12 1

To which must be added the balance carried

forward from last account ... 144,721 1 2

£701,797 14 1
Less—Further allowance for renewal of rails,
and additions to the works, stock, and estate 23,098 17 3

Showing a disposable balance of £678,698 16 10
The directors recommend a dividend of 21. 15s. per cent. for
the six months, amounting to 527,4071. 13s. sd. ; leaving a
balance of 151,2911. 3s. sd. to be carried to the next half-
year's account.
The report and half-yearly statement of the accounts were
unanimously adopted, and ordered to be printed and circu-
lated among the proprietors.
The CHAIRMAN then proposed that a dividend, as recom-
mended in the report, of 2/. 15s. per cent. on the capital of
the company for the half-year, should be declared.
Mr. GAISKELL said he had understood the chairman, in one
portion of his address, to state that if he had been acting on
his own judgment entirely, he would have preferred recom-
mending a smaller dividend.
The CHAIRMAN begged to be allowed to put the Hon.
Proprietor right. What he said was this—that if he had
been carrying on business on his own account not using the
Word judgment—he should have preferred a smaller
dividend.

Mr. GASRELL said, taking that as the explanation of the
chairman, he entirely agreed with him, because he thought
the most wise and prudent course they could adopt was to
keep a large reserve fund in order to meet effectively the
competition wish which the company was threatened.—
(Hear, hear.) He was exceedingly gratified to hear the
estimate which the chairman formed of that competition,
and looking at the isolated position of their neighbours in the
west—the Great Western, for instance—by their peculiarity
of gauge, he was inclined to think that the competition in
that quarter would not be so serious or reckless as that
which they had already been subjected to by the proceedings
of other lines of the same gauge as their. own. They had
yet, however, to fear competition of a very reckless character,
occasioned by a great diminution of prices from the extension
of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham, and he thought
it would be advisable to keep sufficient money
in their strong box to enable them, to some ex-
tent, to dispense for a while with remunerative prices,
and at the same time to continue to pay a dividend, for by
doing se he firmly believed they would render powerless
those who were anxious to subject them to unprincipled
competition —( Hear.) He felt it would neither be just nor
to their interest that the utmost profits earned should be
divided among the proprietors.—(Cries of " Hear.") It was
a matter of little or no consequence whether the profits were
immediately paced in the pockets of the proprietors or locked
up temporarily in the coffers of the company.—(Laughter.)
The only question was whether the meeting felt disposed
to carry out the views of the chairman, which he
believed to be just and sound, and which if adopted would
leave the company in a sound position, ready to meet any
outward attacks which might be made upon it.—(Hear.)
A SHAREHOLDER said he wished to say a few words with
respect to the surplus. He had no objection whatever to
144,000/. being laid aside, nor to having an accumulation
fund, but he had a question to ask both on his own behalf
and that of his brother proprietors with regard to the inten-
tions of the future board of directors. He knew he was
speaking to some who would soon be out of office, but he
was also fully aware that the opinions of several talented
gentlemen who now presided over the company's affairs would
have great influence and weight with the future directors.
The question he had to ask was this, was it the intention
of the future direction to allow the surplus to go on accumu-
lating indefinitely ? He thought such a course would be in-
judicious on two grounds—first, because they would postpone
the immediate interests of the present proprietors, many of
whom had only a life interest in the company—(Cheers)—
and secondly, because his experience of public bodies led him
to this conclusion, that there could scarcely be a more dan-
gerous temptation placed in the way of directors than leaving
a large surplus in their hands.—(Cheers.) There were some
men, and he confessed himself to be one of them,
who had very great pleasure in spending their own
money, but there were others who, when they
had other people's money in their possession, had
an irresistible itching for spending it.—(Laughter.) He ad-
mitted the present directors were characterised by great
ability, energy, and honesty, and he hoped the future direc-
tors would be the same, but still he would scarcely expose
them to the temptation of having too much money, because
he believed it always led to extravagance.—(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAW said he rose for the purpose of replying to
the questions which had bean put to him by the Hon. Pro-
prietor, and before doing so he really must acknowledge the
justice of the remarks which fell from the first speaker.—
(Hear.) As general principles he thought no one could gainsay
them.—(Hear.) He hoped it would be borne in mind that
they were called upon to administer the affairs of a very
large proprietary, embracing every sort of interest, and that
in considering a question of this sort, it was not only their
duty to consider the amount of the reserve fund and the ef-
fect produced by it, bat also what the proprietors had a right
to expect when the company was in a state of prosperity.
And he might say, that on the present occasion there was a
unanimous feeling at the board that 5% per cent. was the
right dividend to offer to thenotice of the meeting.—(Cheers.)
He confessed he received the declaration of the Hon. Pro-
prietor who spoke first, as well as that of the Hon. Proprietor
who followed him, with the greatest satisfaction.—(Hear,
and cheers.) I like, in the first place, to hear an approval
of the policy which the directors have already adopted, ex-
pressed in this meeting, and in the open way in which it had
been expressed, and I feel convinced, if the proprietors act on
the principles which have been announced, the property of
this concern will soon be placed on a sound basis.—(Hear,
hear, and loud cheers.) With reference to the inquiry
of the proprietor who last spoke, he should be presumptuous
indeed if he ventured to answer a question which related to
the opinion of the whole gentlemen who might be elected to
the new board. All I can say is, that this principle
was put forward and settled at two previous half-yearly
meetings, and I cannot, therefore, doubt that those
gentlemen who raised no objection then will not now be
advocates of the principle of which the Hon. Proprietor
speaks.—(Hear.) I think the point which the directors
ought, to keep in view is not to increase this surplus fund
every half-year by a large amount, but to keep it up to one
figure, which would probably answer the expectation of the
lion. Proprietor who spoke first—that is to say, to have a
reserve fund always in hand for the purpose of upholding
the credit of the company in all the situations in which it
may happen to be placed. The directors thought a reserve
fund of 150,0001. was about the mark of the money which
they ought so to have in hand. He hoped, after the expres-
sion of opinion to-day, the proprietors would not consent to
the reserve fund being diminished below that amount.
Mr. MAssErr said he entirely concurred in the views of
the director., and for the reasons stated by their worthy
chairman, but at the "same time he was quite ready to ac-
knowledge his firm belief that the property of this company
would be greatly enhanced by a large surplus capital or a
large accumulated reserve fund.—(Cries of "No.") He
was not for depriving the proprietors of a dividend, but he
thought the present season offered a favourable opportunity
for carrying into effect such a proposition; and when he
considered that the capital of the company was twenty-
nine millions he had no hesitation in saying that a
reserve fund of half a million would not be too much.—
(Hear, and cries of "No.") He believed it would place the
.ompany iu a much better position, and enable it to con-
tend against the interference of other companies. There
would be no difficulty, he thought, in adding to the reserve
fund, for if they were not disappointed, and he saw no reason
why they should, the receipts would be immensely large this
season owing to the increase of traffic occasioned by the
great Exhibition. If any portion of these receipts could be
appropriated to the reserve fund, they might lay up a very
large sum in the present year. There could hardly
be two opinions among the directors that a good reserve
fund would place the company on a more solid foundation.
He would be perfectly satisfied with 5 per cent. dividend him-
self; but for the reasons suggested by the chairman, he
thought it was wise and judicious to declare on the present
occasion a dividend of VA per cent.
The CHAIRMAN said he would, perhaps, be allowed to ob-
serve that he was not one of those who expected from the
Exhibition very considerable results —he should like to realize
them before he made any proposition for their disposal—
(Laughter)—but he felt confident of this, that if there were
a considerable increase of traffic, and, as a natural result,
increased expenditure and increased receipts, there would
follow afterwards a sort of collapse.—(Hear, hear.) Much,
therefore, as he approved of the object of the Exhibition, he
thought there had been a great deal of exaggeration con-
nected with it.—(Hear, hear.)
In answer to a question from a Shareholder, relative to
the Stour Valley line,

~
The CIAIRMAN said that a considerable sum had been ex-
pended on this line during the last half-year, quite as much
as the directors thought they were justified in laying out.
It was expected that an arrangement would be speedily
effected with the Birmingham Street Commissioners which
would materially facilitate the opening of the line, but it
would certainly be ready within the limit laid down by the
Act of Parliament.

HENRY CROSFIE&D, Esq., of Liverpool, was then elected
auditor in the room of Mr. E. T. Mozely deceased, on the
motion of Mr. Foster, seconded by Mr. Jones.
The CHAIRMAN then proposed a resolution having the
effect of reducing the salaries of the auditors to 1001. per
annum each, with a free pass over the company's line.
After a few words from Mr. PAYTON, one of the auditors,
in approbation of the resolution, it was agreed to unani-
mously,

The CHAIRMAN said the next business would be to elect
three directors in the place of those who this year retired
from office, in conformity:with the Act of Amalgamation. The
directors retiring were Captain the Hon. S. T. Carnegie,
R.N., G. H. Lawrence, Esq., and Lewin Mozley, Esq. He
should propose the re-election of the two first gentlemen ;
and, in the place of the last, he should propose that Thomas
Booth, Esq., be elected a director of the company.
The motion was agreed to unanimously.
A SHAREHOLDER wished to suggest that a list of the di-
rectors should be sent round to all the shareholders, as a
great many of them did not know who their directors were.
The CHAIRMAN said that the Hon Member would find
that this course had been recommended by the report of the
committee of proprietors, and could, no doubt, be adopted
by the court of proprietors.
Mr. RuTsos, the chairman of the committee of proprie-
tors appointed in August last, then proceeded to read the
report drawn up by that committee, and which has
already appeared in our columns. The Honourable Gentleman
begged leave to tender the thanks of the committee to the
excellent chairman of the company, Mr. Glyn, for the great
assistance which he had afforded to them in their task; and
also to the secretary, Mr. Stewart, without whose previous
preparation they would have scarcely been able to get through
their buainew.—(Bear, hear.)

The CHAIRMAN then read through the resolutions seriatim.
Accordiog to the IC:CClrmiend,it loa of the se d,
fi.:ll;:iemen were elected dire,!tors to fill up tli:3 number:to
30:—The Hon. S. P. Pierrepoint, H. W. Blake, Esq., T.
Heywood, Esq., M.P., R. Moon, Esq., T. C. Ewart, Esq.,
Sir C. Douglas, M.P., r. Brooke, Esq., G. R. Chappel, Esq.,
R. D. Mangles, Esq., M.P., Edward Tootal, Esq., John
Ellis, Esq., M.P., T. R. Rathbone, Esq.
On the Bth resolution, recommending that two out of the
six directors retiring annually should not be eligible for re-
election,

The CHAIRMAN said that he was desired by the whole
body of directors to express their dissent from this resolution.
Mr. TITE said he had the strongest possible feeling on the
question, and he was sure that it would not he corned.
It had been a law in the old London and Birmingham
Railway Company, that certain of the directors should not be
re-elected, and Mr. Moss, the then chairman, became in his
turn subject to it, to the great inconvenience and detri-
ment of the affairs of the company, and power was
taken in a subsequent Bill to get rid of the regulation. In
several of the London companies a similar rule had been
adopted, and afterwards abandoned as vexatious. It
was not unlikely that the very best man among
them might be turned out by its operation,
and in the London Dock Company were it existed they
were obliged to resort to a fiction to keep the ct airman in
his place. The fiction of new blood on which the recom-
mendation was founded was a real fiction, the figure was
taken from something in physical science, and when new blood
was infused into a patient it generally ended in the death
of the patient. He could go on for ever illustrating the ill-
effects of this regulation, but everybody would see at once
how extremely inconvenient it would be to make a resolu-
tion for the forcible dismissal of any gentleman on the ma-
nagement, whether the proprietors liked it or not. If
they wanted to keep the management in the hands of the
directors, and not allow it to fall into the hands of the
salaried servants, they must not adopt a resolution which
would make the directors temporary servants. What would
they do, supposing their valuable chairman were turned out
by this resolution, or the chairman of some internal depart-
ment, men whose services had for years and years been de-
voted to the company's benefit, and they were asked to
turn these men out for the sake of introducing
men of whom they knew nothing at all ? He
might be accused of being the mouthpiece of the directors,
and though he was aware of the French proverb, qui
s'excuse s'accuse, he wou'd say that:he had not spoken a
single word on the subject to any gentleman behind that
table, with many of whom he was on terms of personal
intimacy. The Hon. Gentleman concluded his remarks
by moving as an amendment that Resolution 8 be omitted
entirely from the report.
Mr. Minnow wished to explain that there was no chance
of the company's being deprived of the services of the chair-
man, as only two of the six retiring directors were declared
ineligible by the resolution, and there never would be any
difficulty in providing for his re-election.
Mr. LOCKE, considered that the explanation of
Mr. Rutson entirely knocked the ground from under Mr.
Tite's feet. HE could not see how the introduction of new
blood was a fiction, for it prevented railway com-
panies becoming close bodies, as they were too
often inclined to become. He thought it right to say
that the resolution had been unanimously adopted by the
committee, and he would ask them whether it was not rather
hard upon those gentlemen that the meeting should come
in at the end of a resolution and upset all their deliberations.
It; however,th ere were any good grounds for refusing the resolu-
tion let them do se,but he conceived that the only ground which
had been put forward had been completely answered. He
put it to the meeting whether it would be a fitting thing
that the unanimous decision of twelve gentlemen should
be reversed by an amendment put after the resolution had
been passed.
Mr. Trim was not aware that the resolution bad been
agreed to.

—The CHAIRMAN said that Mr. Tite was certainly right i■
point of order, He himself had perceived that Mr. Tite was
anxious to oppose this resolution, and he had signified to him
that that was the proper time to do it. He had already ex-
pressed that the directors were unanimously opposed to this
regulation, and considered that it would work ill for the in-
terests of the proprietors.
Mr. CROSSFIELD thought the resolution would have a
beneficial effect, as it would lead the proprietors to interest
themselves in the election of directors, when they saw that
new men would have to be elected. At present the election
of directors was a mere matter of course.
The CsiAlmt& said that the elections were conducted
exactly in conformity with the Act of Parliament, and if they
were conducted in any other manner they would be illegal.
After some further discussion, Mr. Tite's amendment, on
a show of hands, was declared to be lost, amid much cheering.
Mr. TITE demanded a ballot, but at the suggestion of the
Chairman withdrew his motion.

The report of the Committee of Proprietors was then
adopted.

Several of the new directors returned thanks ; and,
A vote of thanks was unanimously carried to the Chair-
man, as well as a similar vote to Mr. Lawrence and the re-
tiring directors.
The meeting was then made special, and resolutions were
agreed to empower ng the directnrs to enter into an arrange-
ment (in conjunction with the Lancashire, Yorkshire, the
East Lancashire, end Midland Railway Companies) for
leasing a portion of the tolls on the Leeds and Liverpool
Canal, connecting Liverpool with Leeds; the object of the
agreement being t) unite more intimately the Interests of
the four railway companies occupying that district, and to
prevent that injuricus competition as to rates, to which
they have severally been subjected; and also for the
purpose of enabling the company to subscribe for and take,
in conformity with Acts of Parliament already for that pur-
pose passed, certain preference shares in the Chester and
Holyhead Railway; and to authorise the raising of the need-
ful funds by mortgage or otherwise.
The meeting the' broke up.

[The following appeared in our Third Edition of
last night :—]

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, Feb. 21.)
SuaAlt.—To-day former rates were insisted upon for all
kinds of West India Sugar, but the purchases made were
trifling, and confined to 202 hhds, &c. ; for the week the sales
Prices close the same as on Friday last.
there was only a moderate home trade

y s
igar, still low brown lumps were not
to be obtained under 48s per cwt. The export demand for
Crushed Sugar is not better.
Msuarrius.—This afternoon the public sales of Mauritius
Sugar went off with fair spirit at full prices ; the quantity
offered was 5,427 bags and all sold, middling to fine yellow
went at 38s to 425, low 37s to 38s, and refined qualities 36s
to 41s per cwt.
EAST INDIA. This afternoon there was a better demand
for Madras Sugar, and at the public sales of 3,100 bags, the
whole selling at full rates, soft brown at 28s to 30s, yellow at
30s to 355, Mauritius descriptions 36s to 403 6d, middling
grainy yellow 39s to 403 6d, and a few lots middling white
ditto 435. Of Bengal 358 bags realized 41s 6d to 43s for
middling and good white Benares, and damp 40s to 43s per
cwt., and these are full rates.

FOZEIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of Foreign,
and prices underwent no variation. For the week the private
operations are 2,000 chests yellow Havannah at 39s to 435.
A cargo of brown Bahia37s 6d, and two cargoes of Pernam-
buco, the particulars of which have not transpired.
MOLASSES.—Previous rates are supported, and the demand
continues good; the purchases made in %Vest India for the
week are 300 puns at from 15s to 17s 6d; the supply is li-
mited and consists chiefly of the lower sorts. Bengal and
Mauritius are wanted at 12s to 14s, but the supply is yet
small. Holders of Porto Rico and Cuba still demand 15s to
16s per cwt.

COFFEE. —This afternoon Native Ceylon was not offered
under 44s per cwt for good ord. For other sorts of Colonial
the market has still a deft-aspect. Of 251 casks and 60 bags
Plantation Ceylon at auction a small part only sold at rather
lower rates, and went', s ols to Ms for fine fine ord—
low 44s 6d; of Mocha rpkgs sold at 71s for small yellow.
Full rates are asked for Foreign Coffee. On change this
afternoon Native Ceylon was 44s 6d to 455, with several
buyers.
COCOA.—In Foreign, sales have been upon a small scale,
and there are sellers of Bahia and Para at 30s to 30s 6d, and
Guayquil at 32s to 335; lower rates are anticipated. British
Plantation, at auction 55 bags 10 brls Trinidad were taken
in at 45s to 50s for grey;
the value of Grenada is 43s to 48s.
THA.—A much better demand has prevailed for common
Congou this week ; prices are also firmer, 11 dto 113 Ad per
lb having been obtained for large parcels of sound. In me-
dium operations are also upon a more extended scale at Is to
Is 01,4 d, but other sorts have been operated in with caution
at is ld to is sd, and fine at is 6d to is 9d; on the part of
holders there is also a desire to realize. With green the
market continues to be plentifully supplied : a reduction has
taken place of ld to 2d per lb for good and fine young
Ilyson. There are sellers of Scented and Pekoe Teas at
moderate rates. At public sale yesterday 4,100 pkgs of Tea
were offered, and 1,800 found purchasers, chiefly small
boxes.

Itrcz.—For the best white sorts of East India for cleaning
purposes full rates are paid. For inferior a slight reduction
in price has taken place. Of 2,324 bags Madras at auction
not above half found buyers at 7s 6d to 8s for low and
mid pinky, the remainder being taken in at 8s fd ; 300
pkts low broken Bengal sold at 8s to 8s 6d for white, but 916
bags mid and good mid were bought in at 10s to 10s 6d.
The rates obtained for good and line white Bengal by private
contract are 10s 9d to 12s and for best white Java lis 6d to
12s. For cargo and pearl barley sorts the market has a dull
aspect, and 78 9d to 8s per cart is the nearest value
The value of cleaned Patna is vet 11s to 18s for low to fine,
town dressed Carolina 20s to 265, and American 185 to 19s.
At these rates a fair business is doing. Sago is wanted, and
19s to 21s per cwt offered for small pearl. In Sago Flour
there is rather more doing at 145 6d to 15s. Tapioca has
been operated in with more freedom at 2d to 5d per lb.
SPlCES.—Ginger continues to be operated in with caution,
but pricessdolodnaott g3i2viss 6wdatyo.3ss At6da, and 129 packages of Ja-
maica 2,865 bags and 93
casks African were nearly all taken in at 35s 6d to 375, but
damaged
at 3/ 10s to 617 s for common to good. Shipping sorts
of East India are held for 18s to 20s per cwt, but there are
few orders here. The market continues to be sparingly sup-
plied with Pimento, and the parcels sold privately were at
ad to .yid per lb. Holders of Black Pepper evince more
firmness, and few parcels are on offer, but the private operations
have been limited, Malabar at 3id to Sid, and Sumatra
to aid per lb. At auction 79 robins damaged Malabar were
taken in at 3*d to 30. White Pepper is in small supply,
and the value is from fd to 9d. according to quality. Pod
Pepper is offering at from 30s to 455; there are few buyeTs.
Of Cassia Lignea few parcels are on offer, and rather more
business has been done at 90s to 102 s. Cassia Buds are held
for 110 s, but with few buyers. Of Nutmegs several parcels
have been sold, and at rather better prices, brown selling at
21 6d to 3s 6d, superior 3s 8d to 4s. In Mace sales to a fair
extent have been made at 2s 2d to 2s Bd. For Cloves the
demand is improving, and rates rule firm, Bourbon and Zan-
zibar at 6d to 6id, and Penang 9d to Is 4d. For inferior
sorts of Cinnamon there is a good demand at last sale's rates,
but little desire is evinced to do business in the better kinds,
and prices have a downward tendency.

SPlRlTS.—Leeward Island Rum is is 8d per gallon proof.
East India has been selling at is 6d to is Gift proof: Jamaica.
—The value of ord and mid quality 30 to 34: per cent over

WAKEFIELD, FEB. 21.—We have a fair supply of wheat,
and our demand continuing very limited and inactive, prices
are rather lower. No change in the value of barley, and the
sale pretty good for fine qualities. Oats and shelling sell
slowly at less money. Beans Is. cheaper.

NEWBUKY, FEB. 20 —Our sm ply of Wheat is very mo-
derate, yet fully equal to the demand, which is confined prin-
cipally to local buyers for the consump'cion of the immediate
neighbourhood! ; the larger portion is in very indifferent con-
dition, and whilst the best lots fully re Wise late rates, other

qualities barely tinp rt them. 'Barley m,,slerste .nerly ; b'st

LIVERPOOL, FEB. 21.—At this morning's market there
was a fair attendance of town and country dealers, who bought,
to a moderate extent of fresh parcels of wheat at the prices 01
Tuesday last. French flour met a very slow sale, and all, e
cept the finest descriptions, receded fully Is per sack. Nue-
rican flour-was in moderate request, at a decline of 6d to Is Per
barrel. Oats must be quoted 1/2d per 451bs lower, and oannis,al
was difficult to move at late rates. Barley, beans, tuld Pede
without change in value or demand. There was a good ,:',
