CRYSTAL PALACE COMPANY.

Meeting this Day.

The adjourned meeting of this company took place
this day at the Bridge-house Tavern, London-
bridge, to receive and adopt the report of the Committee
of Investigation, relative to the affairs of the company ;
Mr. Anderson in the chair.
It will be recollected that at the last meeting a stormy
discussion took place on the report, which occupied so
many hours that the meeting had to be adjourned.
The Sees=Anv having read the notice of meeting,
The CHAIRMAN said the meeting had heard the cir-
cumstances and the business for which they had been
called together, and he had to call their attention to the
question under discussion when the meeting was adjourned
on the 14th ult., and which would be resumed that day. In
doingso, he had toUsk them to adopt the course followed at
all public discussions—viz., that when a gentleman had
once spoken on the question he would be satisfied with
that, and not make repeated speeches. He urged on
them, at the former meeting, that they would conduct
the business as gentlemen and men of business, and as
men who had come forward to discuss matters connected
with their own interest, and in a business manner.
(Hes.r.) It was important to the interests of the under-
taking that no more delay should take place ; in fact,
the procrastination that bad already taken place—arising
from the appointment of the committee of investigation
first, and after that the adjournment of the last meet-
ing—was paralysing the efforts of the directors, who,
with himself, he hoped, were honestly doing what
they could to promote the interests of the shareholders.
As an instance, he stated that the directors had made
arrangements on their personal responsibility to raise
money to carry the concern over till June next, but after
the result of the last meeting they had thought it wise
as prudent men not to involve themselves in that respon-
sibility, and had only made provision for the payment
of the interest on the debentures. Mr. Fuller, who was
prevented from addressing them on the former occasion,
not being a shareholder, had since qualified as such, and
it was but fair he should be first heard in explanation.
Mr. FULLER then addressed the meeting at consider-
able length, remarking that he believed their directors
were as honest as the representatives of any
other public company, and said the charges
brought against them had been made without his sanc-
tion. With regard to contracts having been taken by
persons connected with the directors, he knew of but
one instance, and that was Mr. Geach, the circumstances
connected with which he fully and satisfactorily ex-
plained. He hoped the meeting would not be
led away from the question at issue. It was the
duty of the shareholders to support the amendment.
Mr. Fuller defended himself from the charge that
had been made against hint, that the prosperity of the
undertaking had been injured by his dealing in the
shares, and asked the shareholders to support him in the
devising a scheme that would reduce the capital and in-
crease the dividends. He was glad the sale of
Rock-hills to Sir Joseph Paxton had not been
persisted in. He warmly advocated the company re-
taining the assistance of that gentleman, and to keep
him at Rock-hills, but he was opposed to their selling
that property to him. So satisfied was he of the neces-
sity of their retaining Sir JosephPaxton'a assistance that
he:suggested to the committee that that gentleman should
be paid a salary of 1001. for that assistance, with the
Rock-hills as a residence, free of rent, but the commit-
tee rejected the suggestion. The hon. gentleman ac-
counted for his retiring from the directory, feeling that
he was not entitled to receive payment from the company
for services not adequate to the amount paid. (Hear.)
He also said that in order to provide the share-
holders with a true account of the finances of the com-
pany, he called ox Mr. Turquand, an accountant,
and shareholder in the undertaking, who offered to inves-
tigate the accounts on the company paying his clerks
201. for their overtime. He (Mr. Fuller) made that
statement to the committee, which was approved, and
the offer refused. (Hear.) He had proposed two schemes
for reducing the capital of the company, one on the ton-
tine principle, and he had no doubt if one were accepted
by the company that in six months the shares would be
at 2 preen. instead .of 3 die. (Hear.) The Temporary
Tontine Company was to be formed, under the Limited
Lis, ility Act, in shares of 251. each, and to terminate
at Christn.:o, 1865, the first capital of the company be-
ing 2,000,0004 The other plan was as follows
