BRISTOL AND EXETER.—The report of the directors
to be submitted to the special meeting of the share-
holders on Thursday states that the total liabilities of
the company amount to about 1,100,0001, to which
it will be desirable to add about 100,0001. for contin-
gencies. For the purpose. of meeting these liabi-
lities it is proposed to create a preferential share
capital, bearing a perpetual minimum dividend of 4
cent. per annum, with an option to the subscribers
until the Ist of July, 185.5, to exchange it for the
common stock of the company, and to tae, from and
after the Ist of January, 1856, the same dividend as
the other proprietors, instead of the guaranteed 4 per
cent. The directors are of opinion that this stock
will be a very desirable security, as, when the loan
debt is paid off the new stock will have a priority of
dividend similar to that now possessed by the holders
of debentures for their interest. The company hav-
ing already power, by the Bleadon and Wells Act,
to issue shares to the extent of 320,0001., with a pre-
ference dividend not exceeding. 6 per cent., and also
by another Act the power to convert loan into capital,
and only requiring authority to guarantee a prefe-
rence dividend at 4 per cent., it is not expected that
there will be any opposition to this measure, especially
as it involves no addition to the already authorised
capital of the company, and as the unguaranteed divi-
dend is likely to exceed within a limited period the
preferential 4 per cent.
GLOUCESTER, ABERSYT WITH, AND CENTRAL WALES.
—On Saturday. before his Honour the Master in
Chancery Tinney, Messrs. Hill and Everill intimated
their willingness to give the books and papers con-
nected with this company, to enable Mr. Wryghte,
the official manager, to wind it up, provided their re-
tainer as solicitors to the company was admitted, and
the amount due to them (5,0001.), when ascertained
by taxation, paid them out of the first funds under the
estate received by the official manager. It was con-
tended that the official manager ought to be in posses-
sion of all the papers, and that the schedule did not
contain correspondence between Messrs. Hill and
Everill and their agents, regarding sums the company
had paid or would have to pay, and which would be
necessary to a fair settlement of affairs. Mr. Wryghte
informed the Master that the object of winding up,
besides paying off outstanding debts, was to know how
40,0001. received by way of deposit had been disposed
of by the directors. The petitioner was the Hon. F.
Berkeley, M. P. - - - -

• DIRECT WEST END AND CROYDON.— On Friday his
Honour the Master in Chancery Tinney gave his di-
rections to Mr. H. Harris, solicitor to the official
manager, relative to the final settlement of the list of
provisional committeemen in this company. After
reviewing all the previous decisions, his Honour
struck off the list upwards of twenty-two of those
provisional committeemen who had neither acted nor
taken shares, though they had paid money on account
of claims, in conformity with the decision of the
House of Lords, but retained on the list all those
who took shares, in accordance with the same decision.
