NEW CORN EXCHANGE.

--
A half-yearly Gerund Meeting of the Proprietors of
the Neo Corn Exchange was held at one o'clock yes-
terday, at the office of the Proprietors, io Mark-lane.
Mr. D. J PARKER in the Chair. The Report was read
by the Secretai y, from which it appeared that the works
were going on rapidly, and that there was every pro.
specs that the Hall of the New Exchange would be
open by the middle of December. The Coffee house,
it was hoped, would be finished by the following
March. The Report, after alluding to various ar-
rangements:which were in ptogress, with the view-of
ensuring the success of the department more iMMIN
diately connected with the Coffee-room, went on to
state that the instalments upon time shares had been paid
in the most satisfactory manner, and the few forfeited
shares had been sold at par by public auction. The
Directors, it was stated, were making every effort to
complete the building, and they had not the slightest
doubt but the New Corn Exchange would yield a libe-
ral return for the capital expended on it, at the same
time that it would prove to be an undertaking of great
public utility. The Report was unanimously adopted.
A SHARRWOLDRR inquired whether permission heti
as yet been granted to place the, ituyal Arms over the
gate-way?
The CHAIRMAN said that an application lied beets
made to the Lord Chamberlain, but his Grace bas
stated that the subject was not connected with his othco:\
An application bad then been addressed to Mr. Plate,
and as yet nu answer bad been received.
Another Proprietor asked if any of the stands had-
been let?
The Csiatamatra•-TWO thirds of the stands are al-
ready let, and we have every reason to expect that the
market will be open by Christmas.

.
The same Paorataron wished to know the sum
requisite to finish the building ?
A Director replied, that one mos e call of five per cent.
would be made in January. The remainder of the money
due by contract to the Architects would not become
payable until nett June, and the Directors hoped by
that time to have in their hands one half year's teat of
the stands, which would be fully sufficient to meet all
demands on them. The Meeting then separated.
