WEST LONDON RAILWAY
COMPANY.—(TIIIS DAY.)
A meeting of the Shareholders of this Company was held
to-day, at the Company's Offices, 11, Ahchurch lane, Mr.
Grounds, the Chairman of the Directors, in the chair. After
the usual formalities,
The CHA I ItItAN rose to address the meeting. He said he
was Ileased to meet the Shareholders under the improved
condition of their affairs. He was glad to say that they had
now got rid of nearly all their debts, there being only a few
claims remaining unpaid. With regard to the debenture debts,
the Directors had offered to pay them eff at par, but so im-
proved had become the prospects of the Company, that only
one holder had taken advantage of the offer. After making
reference to the arrangerrients respecting the leasing of the
line to the London and Birmingham Company, which was to
come before a special meeting at two o'clock, the Chairman
concluded his observations.
The SEC RET A RY then read the report, which was principally
a congratulation of the Shareholders at the improved pros-
pects of the Company, and an expression of hope that the new
arrangements would still further advance the interests of the
Shareholders. It was stated that the receipts for the half-
year were 38.0391. 15s. 3d., and the whole since the beginning
256,7401. 3s. 7 d. The disbursements lip to the last general
meeting, in December, were 218,7001. 4s. 4d., and to the
present time 256.7.101. 3s. 7id., the disbursement of the half-
year being 37,6671. 10r. 7d.
Mr. RIGBY moved the reception and adoption of the report.
In the course of his remarks, he s •id, the very great improve-
ment whic'n had taken place in their affairs was attributable in
a great measure to the exertions of the Directors.
Mr. 'WHITE seconded the motion, and took occasion to refer
' more particularly to the great exertions of Mr. Thomas, the
Secretary. It was, he was persuaded, that gentleman's exertions
which had saved it from ruin. He thought 'bat some recom-
pense or testimonial of respect should be tendered to him for
his great arid unremitting exertions.
Mr. GuNTER bore testimony to the truth of the observations
of Mr. White respecting the value cf Mr Thomas labours,
and said had it not been for that gentleman's cheerful pro-
ceelings and encouragement, he should have thrown up his
shares in di,gust long ago. He hoped some means would
be taken to testify the respect of the Proprietors to that
gentleman.
The resolution for the adoption of the report was then
unanimously agreed to.
Mr. WHITE said, that as the business of th. nveting was
finished, and as two o'clock had not arrived, he would recall
their attention to the subject which had been previously re-
ferred to—that in reference to Mr. Thomas. He would mave
that some suitable prvision, annual or colt- rwise, be presented
by the proprietors to that gentleman, as a recompense for his
efficient services,
Mr. WitrrE seconded the resolution.
Mr. TiIuMAS said he was much gratified at the manlier in
which his name had been received, With respect to any tes-
timony of respect in the manner named, he would suggest the
postponement of the matter till a future meeting, when the
whole affairs of the Company would be wound up, and placed
in their hands. That would be the proper time to discuss such
a proposition.
Mr. GODWIN thought the resolution ought to be passed at
once. lle had witnessed the great assiduity and spirit with
which Mr. Thomas had conducted the affairs of the Com-
pany, and he considered the resolution ought to be passed forth-
with.

Mr. RAY said he could not allow the matter to go by with-
ou; also bearing his testimony to the great ability and urbanity
with vr hich he conducted the ordinary affairs of the Company.
- The CHAIRMAN, in rising to address the meeting, said he
had never proposed a resolution with greater pleasure than the
present.
The resolution was then put, and unanimously agreed to.
Mr. THOMAS returned thanks in suitable terms.
SPECIAL MEETING.
The Proprietors then resolved themselves into a special meet-
' ing, to consider the propriety of leasing the line, works, &c., to
the Loddon and Birmingham Company.
Mr. ClrillTr then moved that the line, works, &c., of the
Company b., leased to the London and Birmingham Company
fur 939 years.
After the reading of the agreement with the London and
Birmngham Railway Company on which the resolution was
founded, setting forth that the present Company should receive
one-fourth of all the gross receipts of traffic worked by the
engines and carriages of the former Company, and one .half the
prat: eds of all traffic worked by the carriages and trucks of
private parties, the resolution was agreed to.
A vote of thanks was then given to the Chairman and Board
of Directors, when the meeting separated.
