OXFORD, WORCESTEri, and WOL-
i VER,IIAT,IPTON RAILIVAY.
A half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors of
Otis Coin party was held yesterday afternoon at the London
Tavern; Frencis laufford, Fog., in the chair.
On the 'notion ta at the seal of the company be affixed
to the register of shareholders,
Mr. Sergeant Gaesisees wished to know if the Chair-
' man had nay objection to road the list of defaulters who
had neglected to pay up their calls.
The CHAIRMAN said ho was not in a condition to
give the Lames of the parties.—(Cries of `• Why not?"
and loud marlse of deqtpprobation.)
Mr. Sergeant GASELEE—Then I shall move, as an
amendment, the' as the Chairman has neglected or re-
ffused to give us a list of the defaulters, the seal be not
I affixed to the register.—(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN said he certainly would not put the
amendment.—(Oh, oh.) The sealing was simple a mat-
ter of form, upon which no amendment could be put,
and therefore he should direct the sealing to proceed.
Mr. Sergeant GASELEE—If you do so, you will act
illegally—(Cheers)—and as you refuse to take the vote
of the meeting I will take upon myself to put the amend-
ment.
The amendment was then put and nearly every hand
in the room was held up in favour of it.
The SECRETARY then proceeded to seal the register
amidst considerable noise and uproar.
Mr. Sergeant GASIeLEE—The secretary is the servant
of the company, and is paid by the proprietors; and I
caution him at his peril to seal the document.—(Cheers.)
A SHAREHOLDER—It is an insult to the common
sense of the meeting to allow the secretary to proceed
after the unanimous expression of the proprietors.
The CHAIRMAN, after a brief consultation with his
colleagues, said ho wished it to be understood that the
reeling was simply a matter of form, and he never knew
an instance in which any objection had been made to it;
but as it was the opinion of the majority that a list of
the defaulters should be read, the directors saw no
reason why they should withhold the list.—(Cheers.)
The discussion having thus happily terminated, the
register was sealed, and the list of defaulters read by
the secretary. The total number of defaulters was 111,
who held 2,854 shares, and the amount of arrears due
from them was 85,357/. 10s.
In reply to Mr. Sergeant GASELEE,
The SOLICITOR to the Company said that every exer-
tion had been made to obtain payment of the arrears,
and all defaulters whom they found to he solvent had
been preceded against, and in many cases the directors
had succeeded in recovering the calls, but they did not
think it advisable to go to law with persons who did not
appear to be in solvent circumstances.
A SHAREHOLDER wished to know whether Mr. Pel-
ham Villiers, the M.P. for Wolverhampton, whose
name was included in the list, had been sued for arrears
of calls on ten shares.
The SOLICITOR replied that no proceedings had been
taken against him.—(Cheers.)
Mr. COHEN said he was a holder of 100 sharer, and
his brother of 175, which they had purchased at 90/. per
cent., but they had not paid up the last calls, owing to
the conditions by which they were to receive a guaran-
teed interest of 4/. per cent. not having been fulfilled;
and also because a great number of proprietors who had
not paid up any calls whatever had not been proceeded
against by the company.
Mr. ELACKEY said that, as a number of solvent and
influential men appeared to have not paid their calls, he
should move that a list be printed and circulated among
the proprietors, stating the number of shares held by
each, the calls due, &c.
The motion was t econded by Mr. Sergeant GASELEE,
and unanimously carried.
The CHAIRMAN then briefly stated what bad been
done during the last half-year, as detailed in the report
which is given below, and said, with reference to the
Leeds' deputation, that the directors had no wish what-
ever to continue in office, and were ready to retire it the
proprietors could get better parties to fill their place.
[his deputation, with which they had had an interview
this meriting, had agreed that four of the directors
should retire, and it was his intention to propose at the
conclusion of the proceedings, that the meeting should
adjourn for a few days, in order that parties might be
selected to fill up the vacancies.
After a desultory discussion, deprecatory of the di-
rectors, it was agreel that the following report, which
was circulated in the room, should be taken as read.—
"Since the last general meeting, some of the directors,
who thought it was still possible to make an arrange-
ment with the Greet Western Company, had been in
communication with the directors of that board, to whom
they submitted several proposals, in the hope or arriving
at an understanding by which they should bo
enabled to complete and open for traffic some por-
tion of the line. No advance wha.ever could be
male towards the attainment tf that object,
and the negotiations bad for some time entirely
ceased. The Commissioners of Railways had, under the
powers vested in them by a clause in this company's Act
of incorporation, formally required the Great Western
Company to proceed with the works, and to complete the
line. This step has been taken at the instance of
influential landownees, and of the public, in-
terested in its formation, without any inter-
ference on the part of the directors, who had advisedly
abstained from either promoting or opposing
the measures of the Commissioners. A requisition from
some of the shareholders, promoted by a committee
formed at Leeds, had lately been submitted to the board,
calling upon them to summon a special general meeting
for the purpose of considering and discussing a motion of
want of coo fidence in the present directors; but the re-
quisition not being authorised by proprietors representing
the number of shares in the company required by the
provisions of the Companies' Clauses' Act, the directors
were not justified in convening the special meeting.
They had since met a deputation from the Leeds com-
mittee, and had fully discussd with them certain propo-
sals made by them to complete and open that portion of
the line situated between Wolverhampton and the Junc-
tion with the Birmingham and Bristol Railway at
Abbot's Wood. The objects of the Leeds commit-
tee were those which the directors had in view.
Thu difficulty was, and had been, how to obtain the
means cf accomplishing those objects, and those the
committee had failed to point out. The directors had
endeavoured to procure the requisite assistance from the
Shrewsbury and Chester, the Shrewsbury and Birming-
ham, and the South Staffordshire Rana ay Companies;
and they had introduced a Bill into Parliament to
confer the necessary powers, but no definite arrange-
ment had yet been concluded with those companies.
A Bill had also been introduced to authorise the trans-
fer to the Birmingham and Oxford Junction Railway
Company of the purchase of the Stratford Canal and
works, according to agreement, under the terms of
which it was necessary to prosecute the Bill in the pre-
sent session. Mr. Brunel, in his report of the state of
the works generally, said that since August last no pro-
gress had been attempted to be wade with any of the
permanent works on any part of the line, except
in the completion of some unfinished roads near More-
ton, and respecting which legal proceedings had been
commenced against the coral auy. The temporary
works required for the proper repairs and preservation
of the property of the company had been confined
to the smallest amount consistent with the actual exist-
ence of the several parts, and bad been limited mostly
to the Mickelton tunnel, and the indispensable repair
of water-courses under or in immediate connexion with,
the line: and the want of repairs of which, if neglected,
might lead to immediate and serious injuries.
During this period the works had unavoidably sustained
some little injury, such as a few slight slips in the
earthwork, some damage from frost to brickwork and
masonry, and the decay and damage to the temporary
fencing of the line, where the permanent fences are
not yet erected ; but none of these are of an im-
portant character at present, and a small outlay,
promptly applied from time to time, might preserve the
works from serious deterioration; but, without some
such provision the consequences could not fail to
become serious to the works themselves, and
might involve the company in liabilities, by
their effects on adjoining properties, roads, &c.
Considerable progress had been made in measuring up
and adjusting the accounts of the different works so
far as they had been executed, and there was every pros-
pect of effecting settlements with the several contractors
on equitable terms. An arrangement had been made for
the South Staffordshire line to run into their station at
Dudley,which would diminish theexpenses ofconstruction
to that company and ti them, and be mutually beneficial
by the facilities it would afford for, the exchange or conti-
nuation of traffic. The attention of the directors had been
given to the reduction of the general expenditure during
the present depressed state of the company's affairs."
From the statement of receipts for the last half-year
ending 31st December, it appeared that the receipts
from various sources amounted to 1,582,995/. 3s. Id.,
and the expenditure to 1,551,529/., leaving a Wince in
the hands of the bankers of 31,465/. 17s. 4d. The re-
ceipts upon the Stour bridge Extension Canal from 30th
June to 31st December, 1849, amounted to 1,813/. se. 3d.,
and the expenditure to 1,038/. 6s. 6d.. leaving a balance,
being profits for the half-year, of 774/. 18s. 81d. Upon
the Stratford and Moreton Railway, the income was
1,7511. 18e. 4d., and the expenditure 1,7421. 10s. 3d.,
leaving a balance, being profits, of 9/. Bs. ld.
The report was received.
Mr. METCALFE proposed a resolution to the effect that
the line should be given up to the Great Western Com-
pany for completion, but withdrew:it after a short discus-
sion until a later period of the proceedings.
Mr. Sergeant GASELEE next moved a resolution re-
quiring the immediate resignation of all the directors.
A long and irregular discussion took place, which
ended in Mr. Sergeant Gazolee's motion being lost, and
the following amendment proposed by Mr. Walker, a
member of the Leeds committee, being cmied :
" That four of the directors (to be named by the com-
mittee of selection hereafter referred to) shall retire
from the board, and their places be supplied by such
persons as shall Le nominated by the committee; the
same committee shall also nominate two auditors. The
committee of selection now appointed shall report to an
adjournment of this meeting, to be held on the 22d of
March, when the new directors and auditors shall be ap-
pointed."
The following gentlemen were elected to form the com-
raittee : Messrs. Walker, Jessell, Jones, Tamlyn,
Tucker, Thorp, and Smith.
Tho CHAIRMAN then put the adoption of the report,
which was unanimously carried.
Mr. Sergeant GASELEE moved that the salary of the
secretary be reduced from 600/. to 300/. per annum.
Mr. PRATT BARLOW moved an amendment on this,
that the consideration of the secretary's salary be de-
ferred till the adjourned meeting.
On a show of hands the original motion was declared
carried.

NEWRY, WARRENPOINT, and ROS-
'TREVOR RAILWAY.
The cigh!li ordinary general meeting cf this corn
was held yesterday at the corn nsny's offices, in Mourgate-
str( e:: Lord Newly in tl e
The Nobk! (2IiAIIIMAN, moved the adoption of the
report, which gas:, a balance of 4.77i.:35.110.. commented
with some sovcrit) on the conduct ef thole of the share-
holders who had repudiated the arrangsb_eA which had
been entered into with Mr. Dargan for the conveyance
of goods between Newry and Wurrenpoint, and alluded
to the terms cf this repudiation, in which the directors'
conduct wee described as " low cunning, trickery, aid
fraud." After suzh terms, his Lordship said, the, di-
rectors could not consent to retsiu their places at the
bos.rd, and in the rame ef himself and the other directors
he begged leave to tender his resignation.
Mr. COCHitANE, a hilo he avowed himself as the author
of the terms which had been applied ti the directors,
justified himself on the ground that not only were the
terms of the agreement injurious to the company, but
that all kfirmation on the subject had Lem sedulously
kept from the shareholders.
After some explanation from Mr. LEACH, who raid a
high cornpliinent to Lord Newry's exertions in getting
the agreement signed by Mr. Dargan,
Mr. LEA deplored the misunderstanding which had
arisen, and proposed that the directors should be re-
quested t 9 retain their seats, as possessing the confidence
of the company.
Mr. SHAND proposed that the meeting should adjourn
for a week, in order that the shareholders at Liverpool
might have time to deliberate on the best course to be
taken, which after some discussion was adopted.

• MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, Feb. 22.)
SUGAR.—To-day %Vest India was purchased with
caution for all purposes, and prices have still a downward
tendency. The sales amounted to only 450, making for
the week 1,850 hhds, &c, whilst the reduction has been
fully 6d per cwt during that time, and the market closes
heavily.
REFINED.—Te-day prices further declined for Refined
Sugar, and home dealers operated with caution; brown
Lumps were sold at 47s 6cl to 48s, and fair to good
grocery 4S 6d to 519. The market fur Crushed Sugar
is fiat at former terms.
MAITRITIETS.—This afternoon the public sales of
Mauritius Sugar proceeded flatly, and at rather lower
rates. Of 7,190 bags offered, a part only sold ; fine
yellow at from 38s to 41s, other sorts 35s 6d to 38s 6d,
grey 35s to 383 6.1, and brown 34s to 35s 6d per cwt.

bags only in part sold; white Benares at from 38s to
41a 63, soft yellow at from 34s 6d to 37s 6d, middling,
like Mauritius, 35s to 38s 6d, and fine brown at 386
per cwt.
FORElGN—Operations by private treaty have been
small for ull purposes, and of 2,438 chests Havannah
at auction, a very small part only found buyers at
about the former currency. Yellow went at from
38s to 425, and brown at 35s to 37s 6d. There
is a fair quantity en offer by private treaty.
Holders of bonded parcels are reluctant to make
any further concession in the value, yet only
limited orders have been executed by private
treaty. At public sale 2,697 chests Havannah
were taken in at the full value. Of White Havannah in
bond 180 chests realised 253 to 26s 6d per cwt.. In
Relined a largo business has been concluded at Am-
sterdam.

MOLASSES.—East India is held for I4s to 14s 6d per
cwt, and few purchases have been made. In West India
the private operations have been small during the week.
At public sale yesterday 200 puns were offered, and all
taken in at about the former value; Trinidad at Iss 6d,
and Demerara at 16s per cwt.
COFFEE.—To-duy the market for Coffee presented a
dull aspect; there was no public sale, and the purchases
made by private treaty are trifling by shippers and home
dealers; prices ere uncertain, and the nearest value of
good ord Native Ceylon is 60s per cwt. On 'Change, a
parcel of Native Ceylon Coffee was sold for cash at 59s
6d per cwt.

COCOA.—In foreign only trifling sales have been
made by private treaty this week, and former terms are
not to be obtained. A public sale of 2,000 bags Guaya-
quil is declared for Wednesday next. For West India
the demand has been brisker. At public sale 124 bags

ported the former value. For scented and Pekoe Tea the
market has assumed a dull tone, and last week's rates
are with difficulty kept up. At the public sales of
18,010 pkgs buyers evinced little desire to operate, and
the small proportion cf only 5,900 pkgs were sold, and
Congou with all faults went at 9d to 9jd per lb.

DETERMINED SUlClDE.—Yesterday morning an
inquest was held at the Neptune public-house, Neptune-
street, Rotherhithe, before Mr. Carter, the coroner, on
view ( f the body of Henry Jackson, eged twenty-seven
years. From the evidence of several witnesses, it ap-
peared thet the deceased was late a money taker in the
employ of the Citizsn Steam-packet company, and was
stationed at the principal pier, Old Shades, London-
bride. He was considered a trust-worthy servant until
some weeks since, when a pierman named Callaghan,
stationed at Caelsea, confessed to the superintendent
that he had lx en in the pi actice of keeping a number of
tickets that he received from the passengers who landed
at his pier, and returning them to the deceased who re-
sold them, and they afterwards shared the money be-
tween them. This occurred on Monday five weeks, and
on Wednesday morning last his body was found fleating
in the river near Globc-Atairr, Rotherhithe. It is sup-
posed that the deceased threw himself from London-
bridge two or three days after it v( as discovered that he
was implicated in the system of fraud, as a men was seen
to jump from the bridge into the river, and his dress was
described to be similar to the deceased's. The unfortu-
nate man has left, a wife and three children to deplore his
untimely end. The jury returned a verdict of •"rempo-
rary insanity, which had ,been brought on by fear of
being imprisoned."

THE Rio UT HON. SIDNEY HERBERT.—We regret
to hear of the indisposition (f Mr. Sidney Herbert. The
light Hon. Gentleman was so unwell during the List
week as to bo precluded from the performance of Par-
liamentary or public duties.

SIIADDOCKS AND FORBIDDEN FRUIT.—A quantity
of this tropical fruit has been received by Messrs. Keel-
ing and Hunt from the, Bahamas, which, tigether with
oranges, is being cultivated toe considerable extent for
cowucoption in America, and is likely to prove of pe-
cuniary benefit to our colonies.
