from the statement of the Directors, that the •sub-
scription was paid upon only 2,224 of these. It
was a well known fact, that at the formation of the
company, several gentlemen applied for shares. Tc,
some 20 or 30 shares were given, while to others
they were altogether refused. It did, therefore,
now seem not a little extraordinary, that deposits
hare not been received upon the full amount of
shares originally advertised. The Directors ought
to give a satisfactory explanation of this matter to
the shareholders, and he would suggest the appoint.
ment of a committee.

Mr. BROWN held upwards of 1,300/. worth of the
Company's shares, being the largest shareholder
amongst them, and should be extremely glad to
second any measure by which he could fairly get his
money back again. But they should know what to
do before they appointed a committee.
Mr. SKAWR said Mr. Brown had been a Director.
Mr. BROWN acknowledged he had been one, un-
fortunately. Ile held bona fide shares to the amount
he had mentioned, and he never brought his sharet,
into the market. He went down to Truro to in-
spect the mines, and he did not charge a shilling of
his expences to the Company. The Directors never
charged for their attendance during twelve months,
and he denied that they had ever appropriated sharer
to themselves, as stated by Mr. Skawr.
Mr. SKAWR filially moved the appoiwtment of a
Committee to investigate the conduct of the Direc-
tors, and of the officers appOinted by them for the
management of the Company.

EnowN expressed great pleasure in second-.
ing the resolution.

It was accordingly carried, the Committee ap-
pointed, and the meeting adjourned.

moaning. On the
following daring instance as!muse'Lleaki"g was given at
preceding night, the house of Mr.' BoustiEn, No, 45,
Union-hall Police Office on
Lon-lane, Bermondsey, was broken into and robbed of
several articles of plate, clothes, and linen. The thieves.
effected an entrance with a crow•bar, with which thev

time of the robbery, Mr. BOUCHER hearing a noise, has-
tened 1 down. from his bed-room, and on the landing-place.
near the first flight of stairs, saw three men retreating to
the door, Which was 'open, one of whom, having a - dark
lantern in his hand, thrust the bull's eye full in the face of
Mu', LOUCIIER, who was thereby prevented from distin-
guishing the features of any of the thieves. When tin-
fellows got outside the door, they all ran away, and al-
though Mr. Bocci-mit called out ~ Stop thief!" most lus-
tily after them, still no watchman made his appearance,
and they escaped. In about an hour after the above rob-
bery had taken place, the same gang broke into the house
•f the Rev. Mr. MANN, a dissenting clergyman, residing
next door to Mr. Boucnitx. The. thieves must have en-
countered some difficulty in obtaining an entrance into the
reverend gentleman's house, the fastenings of which were
considered of great strength. Having got into the pre-
wises, the thieves packed tip a quantity of plate, and other
property, with which they escaped. R. POPLE, an officer,
was despatched front Union-hall, and on examining the
premises, he discovered that all of them had been entered
by means of a crow-bar, left behind 'by the thieves in the
last-mentioned place they had attempted to break into.
