LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY.--Yesterday,
a meeting of holders of loan notes of this Company, who had,
through inadvertence, omitted to give notice in due time of
their intention to convert the same into shares, was held at
the London Tavern. At twelve o'clock, the hour appointed
tbr the meeting, there were six persons present, who de-
cided that reporters should not be admitted, inasmuch as it
was feared that unguarded expressions might fall from the
lips of some of the speakers, in which case their appearance
in the London papers would serve to irritate, rather than
conciliate, the Brighton Directors.
