from the charges insinuated by Mr.
Themas Powell, and amid considerable
applause stated that his chief object in

wished it te be known that Mr. Beric had,
during the dark days of the company's
embarrassments, placed his fertune and
credit entirely at the company's disposal,
without one dollar of fee or reward. Mr.
Gewen indicated the sources of the hos
tility te his management, and concluded
by affirming his readiness te retire sis seen

mously carried :' " That the meeting,
having heard the statement of Mr. Gewen,
hereby tenders him thanks for that state
ment, and. having entire confidence iu the

agement, earnestly recommends it te be
retained iu charge of the affairs of the
company."
Anether resolution pledging co-operation
and snppeit te the company was
unanimously carried, after which the
meeting adjourned, with three cheers for
Mr. Gewen.
