The CHAIRMAN said that previous to laying be-fo 90.
Proprietors the report, he wished to advert to
points more prominently calling for comment' co,
first subject to which he would allude was, tbe,,bot'
pany had obtained an integral line thr°*:.
and the collateral communication between Bog?,
A nglesea. By the liberality of Parliament a large b,
had been passed for the improvement of 11,0voti,
Harbour, a grant wideb, he believed, was only
p, dent to a larger one. He believed, et
before long, that port would be ro3(l,`r,
harbour of refuge in the Irish Channel. The P,ifi
had fulfilled all their engagements, and all the e°,,„"/
had been fulfilled, every bridge being let, except tygl:,
Conway and Menai ; on these a series of e
ruents had been lately made, and b°
happy to say, from p°rsonal inspectioo• es'
the project was most successful, and the soundawof
the principle was thus fully established. All the
refol4.
would be completed in the winter of 1847, and tieis4:*
the line would, in all probability, be opened early t 0
10'10"
G° When these arrangements were concluded, the 01'
went would adopt Holyhead as the port by t,•
seo/)
send the mails to Ireland. The quickest pasal,4;li
country was at present effected between
and Kingstown, and he was happy to say that iljet
in Ireland a ere satisfactorily progressing, 100 In: a
which would be open next spring, and all verg,:g,
Dublin. With respect to the opposition from Wert'
Western Company, he could at first scarcely F
that such was seriously intended, but bei, to
.e
not regret that it had been threatened, inasmoe'h jelo
superiority of their own line would be the more
led
manifested, and as the Government had virtually P Ile
themselves to the Chester and Holyhead, tn,,e/irt,
scarcely fear any other antagonist. The ,_,
concluded by calling on the Secretary to read the`-aice
~
which shewt d the prospects of the Company to '0
cheering, at.d their funds such as to render ncyll
necessary till the 20th of January next, when a
5/. would be made.
Mr. Sergsant STORKS inquired what reason the Pl
tors had for anticipating the intention of runihune
improve further Holyhead and Kingstown ? itor;
The CLIAIRMAN said that Parliament, had „ ra,j
1.200,0001. for the improvement of ports Lge-de.
30,0001. of ‘‘ hich had been devoted to 1101 Y", eal,-; 4;
he fully believed that the Goiernrnent and ,t,-1,:oori
miralty would eventually expend nearly a In,„. r
money to render that port a satisfactory bar—
refuge.

The report was then received and unanimottslY °lac; or
The CHAIRMAN then moved that the meeting
prove and adopt the conditional acceptancie
the Directors of the offer on the part
Amalgamated Canal Companies, in the lII' tivi
and Shropshire districts, to appropriate t? pro'
Company a portion of the share capital in their
