RAILWAY :INTELLIGENCE.

GEELONG AND MELBOURNE.

The adjourned meeting of shareholders and bondholders
was held yesterday at the offices of Messrs. Partidge and
Co., Lancaster-place, Strand.

Mr. Potter took the chair in the absence of Lord Alfred.
Churchill_

The CHAIRMAN said that he regretted the absence of
Lard A. Churchill, as he felt that it might be more satisfac-
tory if the chair were taken by a shareholder instead of a
bondholder only, although, as far as he (Mr. Potter) was
concerned, he looked upon their interests as so similar that
he was quite ready to unite with the shareholders in bring-
ing about a satisfactory adjustment of the difficulties which
oppressed the undertaking. The Geelong and Melbourne
Railway was really and essentially a Government undertak-
ing. Very few of the shareholders would have subscribed their
capital if they had not felt that they were under the pro-
tection of the Colonial Government, and were secured a
guaranteed minimum interest on their shares. Some 18
months ago, when he and others had occasion to ad-
dress a memorial to the directors, they called upon the
late Duke of Marlborough, who held 1,000 shares. They
wished his grace to sign the memorial, in order that there
might be some official representation of the English share-
holders at the board. The duke, on that occasion, at first
objected to sign the memorial lest it might take away from
the Government the responsibility they were under, for he
stated that he had invested his L 20,000 relying upon the
faith of the Government guarantee, and he feared by taking
any part in the memorial he would be trenching upon the
responsibility of the Government. No sooner had the
scheme for the railway been projected than the Govern-
ment connected themselves with it. They obtained powers
to enable themselves to guarantee the interest, and
to secure for themselves a representation at the
board. They appointed two members of the Go-
vernment, one of whom was Mr. S. J. Cooke, the
present manager in England, who came over to help in
raising the funds. The project was one which, although
small in the Old World, was of great importance and magni-
tude in the colony. It connected the two principal sea-
ports, and must one day become the high road from Mel-
bourne to Ballarat. The policy of the Government of
Australia subsequently changed, for they resolved that the
main trunks of railway should be made and worked by the
Government, and the moment that resolution was taken
they commenced a course of obloquy, misrepresenta-
tion, and abuse against the Geelong and Melbourne
Company. One member of the Cabinet denounced
the undertaking as " a misdirected enterprise," and
every obstacle was thrown in the way of the company
to cheapen the line in order to buy up. (Hear, hear.)
When the line was in course of construction, the first diffi-
culty was the neglect of the Government to send a share-
list over to this country. They then quibbled about the
time when the funds were due to pay the interest. Though
surprised at the extraordinary advices which had recently
been received from the colony, he had no doubt but that
ultimately they would obtain a full measure of jtiWee.
There was a provision in the act of incorporation that the
line should be constructed upon certain plans, and that
the plans should be sent to the Government for two months,
after which period they were to be considered as approved.
That had been done, and one of the difficulties which now
appeared was the construction of the line at the Geelong
end. The directors tool; land %Imre there was some prior
claim to lay down roads, but the company knew nothing of
that, and the Government, who alone could know about it,
returned the plans approved, and took no notice of those
claims. Notwithstanding this the Government now turned
round and said that the claims of the Ashby Association
must be adjusted before any transfer of the line could take
place. tie believed that if the Government had kept
faith with the company, and completed the Williams-
town end of the line, the receipts would have been
much larger than would have been necessary to pay the
dividend guaranteed by the Government. There were, it
would seem, some incidents in the correspondence which
had taken place which furnished a key to the conduct of
the Government. They appeared to think that they could
raise money on the same terms as the Government of
Canada. There was, however, a striking contrast between
the Government of South Australia and that of Canada.
When the securities of the Great Western of Canada
were negotiated in England, the Colonial Government
undertook to raise three millions by mortgage and loan, the
payment of principal and interest to be secured by
mortgage of the line. They raised tt:.e money; they
took a first mortgage, and when it was found that
the cost of the works exceeded the estimate, and
that there was a collapse of trade and commerce, they
generously remitted the whole of their debt of £3,000,000,
and allowed the English shareholders to take the receipts
of the line, contenting themselves with a last instead of a
first mortgage. (near, hear.) Yet the Prime Minister of
Victoria appeared surprised that the credit of South Aus-
tralia was not equal to that of Canada. He (the chairman)
believed that the best course for the English shareholders
now to adopt would be to pass a resolution in the terms of
a protest against the conduct of the Colonial Government,
and then form a comtnittee to confer with the associated
bankers to induce them to advance the money necessary to
pay the interests of the bonds, and, failing in those efforts,
to despatch a properly qualified agent to the colony to en-
deavour to get the Government to purchase the line. (Hear,
hear.)
Mr. Alderman SALotworts inquired whether it was quite
true that an arrangement for the sale of the line had been
coneludee; wish the late Government of Victoria
Mr. COOKE said that a proposal had been made by the
directors, which had been verbally accepted by the Govern-
ment. The terms were, that the Government should pur-
, chase the line with its liabilities, and give in exchange for
the shares at 5 per cent. debentures with a guaranteed
'
interest of 6 per cent. The g-overnor had subsequently
written to Mr. Potter to say that he had no reason to sup-
pose that his then advisers (the new Government) would
refuse to ratify the promises of the old.
Mr. Alderman SALOMON s said he had purchased his shares
lately, entirely on the security of the Government, and that
he did not think there was room for an honest Government
to get out of the bargain. The bonds were signed by two
nominated members of the Government, who represented
the Government of Victoria in this matter quite as much as
Lord Monteaele did when he signed the Exchequer bills of
the British Government. (Hear, hear.) He suegested
whether it might not be better to send a deputation to
Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton before any steps were taken
that might damage the credit of the Colonial Government
in the English money market. (Hear, hear.)
The CHAIRMAN said they proposed going to the asso-
ciated bankers, in the roost friendly manner. He feared
that if they were to go to Sir E. B. Lytton, the step would
be resented in the colony. Mr. Alderman Salmons was
not aware of all that passed between the shareholders and
the Colonial Government.

A SIEAREHOLDER inquired if Mr. Cooke had received
any further letters from Melbourne since the meeting of
Muuduy funk

Mr. toosz said he bad not, but that he had seen a pri-
vate letter in which the writer stated that the matter was
stilt in an unsettled state, bat that it was expected that the
transfer would be made in a few days.
In reply to a SHAREHOLDER,
The CHAIRMAN said that they had already sent the
strongest possible remonstrances to the governor, but all
to no pnrpose.

Mr: HENDERSON went at some length into the position
of the company, and expressed his apprehension that if the
line were to come into the hands of the shareholders (the
only alternative should the Government hold back much
longer), a call of £lO per share would be required to pay its
debts and carry it on.. _

The CHAIRMAN said there were pressing creditors whose
claims could not be longer delayed. The banks held the
debentures, and were clamouring for payment.
Some conversation took place with reference to the word-
ing of the resolutions, but ultimately they were carried in
the spirit suggested by the chairman, and the proceedings
terminated with a vate of thanks to Mr. Potter for presiding.
