$£r. Aitken remarked that lie thought the oosition of director gave the holders an ad tantage orer other shareholders which ought to render them satisfied without any remune ration- . . jlr. Tnojus Kussell replied giving a statement of the onerous duties imposed on directors, and thought that as a matter of principle they should be paid. He was re tiring to-day, and was willing to stand or fall aB to his re-election, on the principle of pay ing directors. jfr. Aitk^n then made a few remarks in support of his motion for non-payment, which flerc received with much cheering. jfr. Ber^ham risked whether tho rotes of the Thames Gold Mining Company were to be taken jj" mass on this point. The jL^—IHMAN said they were. Jlr. beetham than asked whether the Thames Gold Mining Company was to swntnp the meeting. (Loud cries of, No !) Do not allow the same persons to manage the Cale donian as the Thames. (No ! No!) Call upon the directors to resign en masse. (Cheers.) In reply to the Chairman, Mr. Beetham explained that two directors of the Thames Company were also directors of the Caledoniim, and were thus able to play into one another's hands. Mr. Foley spoke against the payment of directors. He thought the state of the mine ought to he published daily. He was pro ceeding to inveigh in no measured terms against the management, but being called to order, subsided. Mr. Moekis thought it inadvisable to pay so lnrgo an honorarium. No one could tell how soon they might strike barren reefs. Mr. Bektham suggested that the appoint raentment of a managing director might meet the views of the shareholders. ■ Mr. MoLixand said that if tho directors would only give reliable and honest state ments of the mine's prospects, £5000, instead of €500 would not be too much. He con demned the prosont method of working the mine, and characterised it as utterly nefnrious, and a disgrace to any community. At present directors were able to fill their pockets by moans of the information they possessed, and withheld for their own interests. The appeal, for £500 was only a blind to gull the public. Mr. JRussnLi; replied, stating that-air infor mation received by directors was always at the service of shareholders as soon as received.

Major Q-eoh&e snid he had been informed that private telegrams had been received by directors from the mining manager for their private use. He riid not say that any use had been made of them. He simply desired to oppose tho principle. Mr. H. Keesing, jun., thought that if mining directors were not paid for their work it would be compelling them to use their information for their own benefit.

Mr. Ceombir moved, and Mr. Aitken seconded, that th« report be adopted, with'the exception of tho clause referring to payment of directors." ■'•-•

A show of hands was then called for, but the Chairman staled that in nil probability the question would not be settled, by those in the room, but that a poll would be demanded. The hands were then counked,'and it appeared that there were 34 in faror of the amend ment, and 40 for tho reception of the report in its integrity. . - Mr. Atken demanded a poll, and in answer to a question from the body of the hall, said the votes of Thames shareholders could be used. ■>

Mr. Hitdson and Mr. Beetham -were ap pointed scrutineers, and Mr. Thosias Ru3- SEt, the retiring director, having been nomi nated for re-election, Mr. Crombie retired, and that gentleman -wns unanimously re instated in office.

A long discussion took place in regard to the use of going to the poll, the propriety of the 'I'hameß Gold Mining Company being allowed to vote, and the paltry spirit which would bo ehown if so wealthy a company as the Cale donian should refuse to pay bo small an amount as was asked by the directors in re turn for expenses incurred by them in the interests, of the mine. Mr. Obombie then desired to withdraw his amendment, which, he observed, had no chance of being carried in the face of the opposition likely to be brought against it by Mr. Stone and Mr. Russell.

Mr. Aitken, who had seconded..(die amend ment, would not consent to this cdttraev-k - Mr. Crombie thought it.jrduld Be as well to allow Messrs. Stone an&ißjissell to do what they liked. ; After some more rather warm discussion, the amendment was withdrawn, and the report end balance-sheet confirmed. . The usual rote of thanks i was then tic? corded to the Chairman, and the meeting separated.

And now for v few words on another friend—" Jack " —who early in lifo ob tained a celebrity which seldom falls to the lot of mortals His neat propor tions and delicate features having at tracted the attention of an itinerant showman —Jack was offered the munificent salary of 20s per week to appear in the Ch&racter of the Essex Tom Thunib, and each night he appeared to the admiring gaze of some hundreds of yokels— With a very smart tie on his smart cravat And a smart cockade on the top of his bat.

Tallest of boy», or shortest of men — He stood in his stockings jubl. 4 foot ten." I cannot expatiate longer on the career of his celebrity suffice it to say that lionoiv earns an honest livelihood iv Auckland by sweeping out one of tho banks, and lives in the hope of one day writing the life of a man—Who has risen by being elevated to the, (for him), enor mous height of an ofßoe stool—" O Kevenge thou art ever sweet"
