METROPOLITAN ALDERNEY DAIRY COM-

PANY.

Yesterday, pursuant to advertisement, a meeting was held at
the Old London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, of persons interested
in the proposed Metropolitan Alderney Dairy Company. Soon
after one o'clock the Chair was taken by ALEXANDER GOLD-
SCHMIDT, Esq., the Deputy Chairman of the Company.
The CHAIRMAN commenced the business of the day by reading
a statement which has been already inserted in one of the public
papers, and was signed Alexander Goldschmidt. It stated in sub-
stance, that he (Mr. Goldschmidt) had been induced to join in
the formation of the Company, by the representations of the per-
sons who were afterwards solicitors of the Company. That a
prospectus had been issued, promising most auspicious results,
and holding forth most honourable professions ; that the results
were disastrous, and the professions false ; and that when he
(Mr. Goldschmidt) reflected that his name might become iden-
tified with transactions which he only regarded with disgust and
horror, he conceived it his indispensable duty to all parties in-
terested to deprecate in the strongest terms the proceedings
that had characterized the proposed Company. To establish
the truth of this statement, he thought it would be necessary to
appoint a committee of investigation. The Chairman then pro-
ceeded, notwithstanding some opposition from the meeting, to
read the original prospectus, from which it appeared that the
Company was projected in January, 1825, with a capital of
150,0001., for the purpose, as it was rather oddly expressed, of
counteracting the adulteration of milk. No deed of settlement
was required. The Chairman then read a brief statement, of the
Company's affairs, from which it appeared, that all the money re-
quired by the Directors from the Proprietors, had been paid into
the hands of Sir John Perring, Bart., who is the canker and
Chairman of the Company; that about two-•thirds of this money had
been disposed of (it was not stated in what manner), and that there
was left about 8,0001. in Exchequer Bills, lying in the hands of

r William Curtis and Co., in the names of Sir John Perring,
Bart., Alexander Goldschmidt, and others, together with about
8001., in the Bank of England, in the names of Sir John Perring,
Mr. Goldschmidt, and others. This document, which was sign-
ed Alexander Goldschmidt, stated that the proceedings had been
most irregular, and the accounts most inaccurately kept. It con-
cluded by recommending an investigation.
The CHAIRMAN then said, that the meeting had only two
modes of proceeding, namely, either to appoint the committee,
as proposed, or to adjourn.
Mr, Mocarr a. thought the meeting ought not to separate
without making some arrangement whereby the miserable remnant
which was left might be divided among the proprietors; at large.
Mr. GOLDSCHMIDT was strongly disposed to adopt the propo-
sition of Mr. Mocatta, but there were great difficulties in the
way of carrying it into effect.
Mr. Mocarra—A Committee has been appointed to wind up
the affairs of the Company, yet they have neither given us a Re-
port, nor have the accounts of the Company been arranged, nor
any reason assigned for this extraordinary neglect.
Mr. Lays said, that the Provisional Committee were ready to
report, but would not consent to do so to a Meeting like the pre-
sent, which had been got up by Mr. Goldschmidt.
The CHAIRMAN, who had interrupted Mr. Levi; now rose,

and said, that the gentleman had been sent there by the nine Di-
rectors to abuse and calumniate him (Mr. Goldichmidt). There
was not, however, a word of truth in the statement which he had
made.
[Here Mr. Levi attempted to address the Chairman, who,
catching up his hat with vehemence, retired from the Meeting in
a rage.]
Mr. LEVI then said, "I pledge my honour that I have not
come here at the request of the Directors, and that it is entirely
owing to the conduct of Mr. Goldschmidt that no distribution can
be made of the remaining fund of which he is trustee.
The CHAIRMAN here re-entered, and demanded what it was
that Mr. Levi had said of him.
A SHAREHOLDER thinking that under the circumstances no
time was to be lost, rapidly inquired of Mr. Goldschmidt if a
sum of money had not come into the possession of those who ma-
naged the affairs of the Company, and if they had not divided it
between them ?
To this cross-interrogatory Mr. Goldschmidt made no reply,
but turning round, immediately quitted the room.
After some desultory conversation among the Shareholders, the
Meeting terminated.
