READY MADE.

. this
Company was yesterday at the ..-)radon Tavern, in
compliance with the advertisement, for the purpose
of augmenting the capital stock of the Company.
by the creation of 4,800 new shares, upon which not
more than 141. IGe. per share is to be paid in the 'prepor-
lions proposed. The meeting was numerously and re-
spectably attended.
Mr. BosANquET was called to the chair at one
o'clock, and
Mr, DelscaN read the report of the Directors, and the
resolutions to be proposed.
Mr. Daster. WHITTLE HARVEY congreulated the
Shareholders on the prosperous condition of their affairs,
as evinced by the report ; but there were one or two
matters to which he wished to call their attention. He had
heard, ir, reference to their financial position, that they
had been borrowing money to the amount of ;10,0001.
at various rafts of interest, from five to six Far cent.,
and that in a few yews the lenders would enforce the re-
paymea t of the principal. Now, in ref, mice to this question,
he should say that tin' Company would derive two ad-
vantages by the adoption of this report ; one was that
they should repay this money, and fur that purpose pro-
vide the necessary funds by the time they should be de-
mandtd ; and the other was that they should raise
whateve r money they wanted in future antong%4
themselves.—((fear.) Let the Company recollect that
the inter, at of 700,000/., at 5 per cent., was 35,0001 per
annum; while, if they had raised the money amongst
themselves. or, in other words, had bcceme
flit ir oa n ere:liters, they could have had the
money at four per cent., nide!) would he
only 2s,ootoZ a Jeer, the r, by creating a saving of 7,0004
a )tar to themselt es on such portions of the loan as
they paid 5 per cent. for, and of course of a still gn-ater
saving upon such sums as they paid 6 per cant, for the
loan ar, hear.) Ile would now beg to cell the
attention of :he meeting to the pesitit tr in which the
Compan3 was placed in reference to another proceed=
ing. He did not mean to enter upon a review ef the
course the Directors had taken in the management of
the Cempany's affair: ; that would do for the great meet-
ing in August twat, by which time Parliament would. in all
probability. have to a certain extent declared their des-
toty—(llear, heat)—and when the Company would be
in a position to pronounce their disapprobation or the
contrary, as the ease might be, of the progress
the Legislature might have made in regard to - them.
—(flcer, hear.) But as to the pr. sent position
of the Company, he supposed they were pH aware that
the Board of Trade had made a report re'fpectine. them
that could not be too highly extolled.—(hear, hear.)
That report declared in the most unequivocal terms'
that they had given their sanction to the extension
of the trunk line, by which the Eastern Counties line
would become the great trunk line from Shoreditch to
the extremity of Scotland.—(Cheers.) But the Cam.
bridge and Lincoln- Company had got another Hite
in contemplation, which the Board of Trade
had reported in favour of, namely the line
from Tottenham to Fa rringtion• vrett. Now, if
the Eastern Counties Company made an appeal to
the Bt and of Trade on the sunieet, he did think they
' had such paramount claims upon the attention of the
Beard that they would be heard with attention, and some
importance would be attached to their remonstuneas iu
favour of the extension of any line they should pro.
pose.—(Hear.) Now, he had no hesitation in saying that
the line from Tottenham to Farringden-street would 1*
a most costly line.—(Hear, him) It was a distance of
only seven miles, but it would run through seven miles
of garden and brickwork, and would cost, even according
to the Company's own e•timate, 800,000/.—(oh, via.)
The Board of Trade, in giving their sanction to this
line, did not consider that seven miles could be travelled
in a very few minutes ; all they thought of a as, that
this great line ought to have a terminus in the
metropolis. On the other hand, there was a proposition
before them for continuing the line from Shoreditch to
Finsbury-square, which it was said could be done for
about 200,000/., because it would pass through property
Which would be comparatively ralueles,. With regard to
the Farringdon-street terminus proposition, all he would
say was, that in his opinion, of all the superabundant and
extravagant propositions that had been heard of during
the present railway mania, this would be entitled
to take piecedenee.—(Cheers and laughter.) He did
think it could not be made for less than a million
and a halt of money, taking the difficulties into account ;
while if the line were wade by Shoreditch, and the ter-
minus at Finsbury-square, then Farringdon-street
might be reached at. a et mpnratively trifling cost—and
therefore he did think that this subject required the best
attention of the Board of Trade. However, if the Cam-
bridge Company persevered, then it would be for this.
Company to consider what steps they should take
to protect thernaelves —(Year, hear.) A prow,-
sition had been before the Board of Trade
for making a line by Blackwall, Stratford, Eppir.g, and
Fenchurch-street ; and though the Board had not given
this propasitiun their sanction, they had not disapproved
of it ; they merely recommended its postponement.
He had no reason to suppose that the Cam,
bridge Company were not well disposed towards
this Company, or that they would not co-
operate with them; but if they were resolved to follow
up the Farringdou-street proposition, then it would be
for this Company to consider whether or not
they would take up the lilavka all proposition.
brat) 11 ith these few observations
he would conclude by saying he felt obliged for the kind
attenti m a ith which he had been heard.—(Che,-rs.)
The CuAttotxx said he had suffered the Hon. Gentle-
man to continue his observations without interruption.
because they wete of great importance and value to the
Company; but at the time he should say it would be
absolutely necessary to keep strictly to the subject of
finance, which was the only one they could discuss at
this meeting, according to the Act of Parliament.
Mr. PArusoN, in answer to a question from Mr.
Guidon assured the meeting that the best possible feel-
ing existed on the part of the Cambridge Company to-
wards this Company.—(hear, hear.)
Mr. GERMS was proceeding to make some other ob•
servations, when

The CHAIRMAN said he regretted exceedingly being
obliged to interrupt any speaker; but he felt eumpelled
to do so in the present instance, the gentleman's remarks
being irrelevant to the question before the meeting. He
then put the question, when the resolutions were una-
nimously adopted, and the meeting separated.

----------
NEW BRUNSWICK AND NOVA
SCOTIA LAND COMPANY.
The adjourned half-yearly General Meeting of the
' Shareholders in the New Brunswick and Nova Scotia
Land Company was held yesterday at the George and
Vulture Tavern, Cornhill; Mr. John Moxon in the chair.
The Directors had to wait some time before there was
a sufficient number of Proprietors in attendance to con-
stitute a meeting. The non-attendance, however, was
not attributed to the little interest the great body of the
Shareholders took in the affairs of the Company, but to
the fact that there were several other commercial meetings
of an important nature, convened in the City, for the
same hour and the same day.
The report stated that the suridus sure which
had been expended for the purposes of the Company
was gradually diminishing. From 1839 to 1844 it had
been reduced from 1,622/. 15s. 9d. to 9001. 19s. Bd. The
last balance-sheet exhibited a balance in the Companies
favour amounting to 8071. los. 3d. The total receipts at
Stanley, the settlement of the Company for 1844. wan
1,7601. 3s, lod. and the expenditure 1,9984 2s. I ld.
The total number of acres sold by the Company was
22,020, leaving yet unsold 5:38,397. The number sold in
1844, was 3.,760. The inmigration of British and other
settlers into the province during the last year appeared
to have been less censiderable than in former years.
The number of purchasers of the Company's lands in
1844, was 36. The whole number of families settled
amounted to 143. In the year 1844 the pro-
vince had produced 1,289 bushels of wheat,
2,083 ditto buck-wheat, 11,306 ditto oats. 178 ditto
hurley, 108 ditto rye. 103 ditto Indian corn and peas,
21,714 ditto potatoes, 3,021 ditto beet and turnips,
437 tons of hay, 330 cattle, 63 horses, 297 sheep, and
243 pigs. The new land cleared amounted in 1844
to 462 acres, and in 1843 to 518 acres. The quan-
tity of land stumped and ploughed was 180 acres,
With regard to operations for the present year,
the Directors had authorised their agent to make
good the road from Stanley to Tayrnouth, nine miles to
the point of junction with the provinceroaad
sttaoe
