CORK STEAM-SHIP COMPANY.

AT the HALF-YEARLY MEETING of SHARE-
HOLDERS of the CORK STEAM-SHIP COMPANY,
held at the OFFICE, Penrose-quay, on WanxasnAy, the 21st
instant,

It wa's moved by WILLIAM FITZGIBBON, Esq., seconded by
JAMES CLEARY, Esq.,
That we have observed with feelings of the strongest indig-
nation the continually-increased bitterness and recklessness
with which the wanton and unjustifiable opposition of the City
of Dublin Company's Directors against our Trade has been,
and is still, carried on, and that.these feelings are now made
more intense, learning, as we,A)ti, from our Directors, that they
have long since offered tesubmit any imaginary cause of
difference between our COmpany and the City of Dublin Com-
pany (as they are unable to give it any other name) to
arbi-
tration.

Moved by WM. B. HACKITT, Esq., seconded by RomT. C.
Si KES, Esq.,

Thai we have to record our warmest annowledgments to
our fellow-citizens and the general community of the south-
west of Ireland for the steady support and encouragement they
have uniformly given their native company so far in this con-
test, and which we feel confident, relying on the justice of our
cause and the superiority of our accommodation, they wilt
unceasingly continue to do, to the ultimate discomfiture and
repulsion of our opponents.
Moved by EDWARD IIAwKI-swonTu, Esq., seconded by
FRANCIS LYONS, Esq.,
That we most fully approve of the first retaliatory step taken
by the Directors of our Company in placing our Steam-ship
Minerva in opposition to our opponents on the Liverpool and
Kingstown Line, and hereby call on them, as further opportu-
nities offer, not to omit the adoption of any additional measure
of this nature that they can by any means effectively apply.
Moved by JOHN DONOVAN, Esq., seconded by ROBERT
HALL, Esq, _

Thai we fully approve of the recommendation in our Direc-
tors' Report, that no Dividend be declared for the present half-
year, bearing in mind the important fact that nearly all our
Shareholders are Mercantile men, not by any means dependant
on their Dividends for support, and who are, therefore, well
able to bear any temporary privation they may have thus to
sustain.

Moved by FRANCIS LYONS, Esq., seconded by JOHN M'NA,
MARA, Esq _ _ _ _ _ _

That, concluding from the obdurate folly and injustice
evinced by the City of Dublin Company's Directors up to this
time, the contest may yet be further increased in bitterness
and wastefulness, and that, to meet this effectively at all
points, and carry into operation the severest retaliatory
measures practicable, ample resources of all descriptions
should be at the disposal of our Directors, we would strongly
impress on them the propriety of calling up, within the next
few months, some portion of the large unpaid capital of the
company, so that we may be able to rely with perfect confi-
dence on their being prepared for any emergency that can
arise, and for repelling and returning this unprincipled attack
with the decision and vigour it so fully demands.

Ordered,—That the five preceding Resolutions be published
in the Cork and such other Newspapers as our Dire:tors may
deem advisable.

NO MORE GRAY HAIR

THE most wonderful discovery of the present age is
the COLUMBIAN INSTANTANEOUS HAIR-DYE. In
an instant it changes red or grey hair to a permanent and na-
tural brown or black, without staining the skin. Its applica-
tion is most simple; it is as harmless and scentless as pure
water, and yet its extraordinary power upon the Hair is so
effective and instantaneous that the Hairis-61Oured perma-
nently the moment it is touched by . ye, leaving it as soft
and pliable as before the applica • .

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES IN GLASGOW, MAN-
CHESTER,LINCOLN'S-INN, &c.
MILNER'S " HOLDFASV and FIRE-RESIST-
ING SAFES are the strongest, best, and cheapest safe-
guard in the world against fire, robbery, and fraud; 20,001 of
them keep the books, deeds, and cash of the practical men of
Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, &c., who know their superi-
ority to any others. Five of them have brought their contents
unscathed out of the ruins of large fires in Glasgow alone this
year, wherein scores of other safes have been burnt out.
Twenty-five offices were burnt out in Lincoln's-inn in January,
in one alone of which the title-deeds of thirty_large landed
estates were burnt, which would all have bfen presetved in
Milner's Safes. From some hundreds_4Yf certificates, the fol-
lowing is selected, as one out otAfany instances in which
everything was consumed in U buildings excepting what
Milner's Safe contained :

for several hours at the late fire in Gordon street, on Thursday
last, were nholly preserved—the property saved being of ex-

in communicating this fact, deeming your Safes invaluable as

" Gentlemen,—Our Miner's Safe was attempted to be bro-
ken open last night : but, notwithstanding the great and per-
severing violence ui.b which the robbers have worked at the
door and back of the Safe (both of which are beaten in and cut
through the outer plates in numerous places), the lock and
twits remained trite, and saved the contents. You may send
us another Milner's Holdfast Safe. No. 6.
