COMPANY FOR PROMuTING MANUFAC-

• TURES IN IRELAND.•

r Meeting of the Proprietors of this Company toot
place at cheeky of London Tavern on Saturday, T,
Spiing Rio., Esq. M.P.in the Chair, for she pwps.so(,
receiving from. the Directors a full Report of their-twee
ceedings, and &stateliest( of die Company's Accounts.
' The Report-stated the advantages most likely Lobe
derived by Irelaod in the employment of capital, by
carrying on various ,species' of manufacture in that
country, in fottherauce of which object. a Committee
had been formed in January, 1825, and a Bill passed
last Session; constituting the Subscribers a Joint Stack
Company, with power and authority to build and esta-
blish manufactories, brewhouses, distilleries, mill, '
foundries, potteries, glasshouses, kilns,&c. in Ireland, but
not to carry ott bade therein; providing for the pur-
chase and re-sale of land; restraining the Company
from exercising any of the powers until four-fifths
of the capital should have been subscribed for.
The Report weat on to state, that in consequence of the
fluctuations in the money market, the Company had
been somewhat impeded in their progress in the dis-
posal of remaining shares, and at this juncture it was
projected to micros, the capital below the sum named
in the Act. A legal •opinion was taken, by which it
appeared that to effect this object a fresh application to
Pat !lament would be tequisite. It was not deemed ad-
visable to bring the Shareholders together until subse-
quent to the meeting of Parliament, and the interval
was employed in making inquiries respecting the best
and most economical mode of establishing the factories.
It was considered expedient to reduce the capital of the
Company to one million, and in the present situation of
affairs the Directors submitted two alternatives to the
Proprietors of shares : first, th.tt each Proprietor should
double his nominal stalti,hy which means the subscrip-
' don would at once be filled up to the required two
millions; or, secondly, that the Proprietors should au•
thorise the Directors to make an application to Parlia-
ment for an amendment to the present Act, enalrling
them to reduce the capital to one million.—The ac-
counts of the Company Were then read to are meeting.
Mr. PALlielt thought the undertaking, if carried into
execution, must be attended with incalculable benefit
to Ireland ; but he thought every subscriber who chose
should be at liberty to withdraw, and concluded by
moving a Resolution to that effect.
The amendment was put and neptived by a majority of six.
The original Resolution was then put, when the numbers were
as follow :—Ayes, 51—Noes, 29—Majority in support of the ori-
ginal Resolution, hen
