METROPOLITAN ALDERNEY DAIRY.

A Meeting of the Shareholders of the, above Company
was.held yeaterday, to consider of the propriety of dissolv-
ing the Company.
From a report made by the Directorsrit appeared that
there were 6,000 shares in the Company, upon which •
24,0001. had been received, all which had been expended
in purchasing premises, cows, and the good-will of the
Alderney Dairy; but so far from their benig.able to make
a dividend, they found.that the concern was a losing One.
They valued their premises and cows, and the good."will
of the concern, at 20,961/. 2s. of which sum .6,000/. VMS'
reckoned as the good-will.
The Gentleman who made this valuation, was asked if he
really thought that any person could be found who would
give any thing like 6,0001. for the good-will of the
concern

The person who valued it (a Mr. Dent, we understand),
replied, after some hesitation, that nothing like that sutra.
would be got, for it, he thought.
The Chairman and Directors all expressed a perfect rea-
diness to answer all questions that the Proprietors might
• wish to pat to them.
A Proprietor observed that it was not very probable
.that any penion would be found to give 0,000/. for the
good-will of a losing colleen)! . .
Mr. o Lossito observed that. the Company was at present
not in. debt, and therefore might go on ; but utter being
15. months at work, and having now only 5004 at. the
banker's, the question was,
,whether it was expedient to
proceed further.' The Directors had done all in their
power, but their exertions had turned to no account ; they
had been overtaken by the badness of the times--u cir-
cumstance which they could not either foresee or
A sort of desultory conversation ensued, qs to whether
it would be politic to .close the concern or not.

A Proprietor observed, that giving credit for the value
put on the ,Company's.property to the fullest extent, and
lOoking at the *inn subacrilied, there was an evident lossof
2,000/., and therefore the longer they went on,, the greater
would be their loss ; he therefore moved that the Company
should he immediately dissolved,and that. three Proprietors
should be added to the Board of Directors to assist in the
winding-up of the concerns of the Company. •
This tuot:on was carried, and .the three persons named
.Who
were to assist the Directors;. thanks were voted to theChairuaan,.
Deputy Chairman, Directors, &e., and the Subscribers were told
that they would have to call at the office of the Solicitor to•aign a
deed, so AS to give a good title •to any person who might heroine
a purchaier of the property ; and thus ended the Metropolitan. Al-
derney Dairy..

. HOBRIBLE MunnEtt.--A most horrible murder
has been committed on a man of the name of Thomas Eta*, of
Lackin, aged about seventy-five years. On the morning pi' Tile's-
day lstt he went out to Scartmuuntain, in order to see soon vitauks
of turf which he had there, as some turf had bean stolen from him.
It appears that *me person or persons had been'its the, set of
stealing the turf when he went out, that he caught them in the
tact, and that his metal was fractured. The poor man languished,

night. The murderers, not even satisfied with beating him its
