Tho CirAinMAN moved tha adoption of tho report and balancosliect, and in doing so said •. When wo last mot it was believed that tho ironworks would have been in full work long oro this, but as wo all know, those hopes have not boon fulfilled. Last year wo congratulated ourselves upon socur inf; tho sorvices or a manager who produced tho highest testimonials, and these wore fully endorsed by letters from the companies that Jlr Heskett had boon employed in, proving that ho had rison Ftop by .=top from r. workman to bo tho worka or practical manager of tho largest works in Croat Britain, having had experience in both iron and steel, and yot hero ho failed on every point. I refor to this to show tho cause of delay and loss, and also that your directors were justified in giving tho management to such an experienced man. Mr Heskett reai'pned in August last. You will find in tho balance-shoot that tho directors recom mend thut Homo .C+,ooo bo written oil' as shown against such items as all the prelimi nary oxpensos, salaries, inrerost, wages, coal used in trials, etc. In going over tho accounts, tho only reasonable way appeared to bo to write the amount off at onco. Upon this third chango in management, Mr Macandrow was appointed manager, and we have ovory reason to bo natislied with tho appointment, Mr Macandrew having so far accomplished all he lias undertaken. On tho table ore somo specimens of tho stool that ho has mado during the la'rt week. It is crueiblo btoel of a high class, and should bring a long prico in any market. Thoso you' »co drawn out and showing tho fracture aro made direct from the sand, and can bo turned out in large quantities. Tho largo furnace for making iron will bo ready for work in about a week. Wo expoct to bo ablo shortly to turn out either iron or steol, as may be required, but tho lirst furnaces will bo used for iron only.

The Chairman then referred to tho Bessemer and Gilchriut-Tliomas failures in ISau'and ISSO respectively, and pointed out how small wore the causes of failure, and how great tho success on the removal of these oiuifios. Theso were now tho two greatest inventions of tho Pteol ago J The cause of our last failure was thut the air got into the retorts. To stop this, solid tiro-clay retorts havo been made, and are now being put into position, and, wo have overy reason to bolievo, will havo tho desired effect. Wo have tried to push on tho trial of thoso now retorts, so as to have given you proof positive, liko tho steel, but as this could not bo dono, tho directors have decided to call a special or extraordinary general mooting as soon as pos.-ible, probably early in January, at which they will bring forward such proposals as may be warranted by tho pros pects of the Company, buch being the case, 1 now proposo tho adoption of the report and balancoshoet as read, and now before you.

Captain Andhkson sccondod tho adoption of tho report, which was carried unani mously. In reply to questions, tho CiiAHniAN said thoro «as an enormous demand for hij'h-clfiss steel, which was constantly increasing, 'iho Company expected to have the first furnace ready next week. They had been dolayed owing to the damp weather. In roply to Mr J. M. CLARK, Mr A. Dun- WOODili said tho specimen of steel on tho table (which had been produced by tho Iron and Stool Company) was steol of a voryhigh class.

In roply to Mr R. K. Daviks, tho Chair man said tho Company had received that morning another order for a thousand tire bricks, and orders were coming in con stantly. They had received three orders from Wellington. Tho bricks wore 01 first-class quality : for standing flro there could not bo anything better. Tho bricks would bo suitable for tho testers in con nection with tho LikMonlo gold-saving pro coss.

Messrs J. M, Clark and G. Iloldthip wore re-elected directors, and Mr.). Way month auditor. A voto of thanks to the directors having been passed, tho meeting

closed,

Opening of the Auckland Railway Station.

(To the Editor.)

Sik,— Now that an event to which wo lrnvo all for years been looking forward with waiting hope is about to bo realised, viz., the opening of tho Auckland Kailway Station for tbo conveyance of passengers from Queen-street, it euroly behoves the inhabitants of Parnell to awako to the fact that, notwithstanding this aristocratic suburb is tho most populous from tho comnioncomont to the terminus of tho line, it is in tho unenviable position of being minus a railway station. I know the objections which aro continually raised, but tho whole of thorn when weighed in tho balances of common sense will bo found to bo lighter than air and destitute of volume and force. Thoro is no earthly reason why wo should not have, and every substantial roason why wo should havo, a station, and the soonor in ovory sense tho bettor. It ia significant that when Ponsonby was in tho womb of tho futuro, Parnell had a local habitation and a nnmo. It was then pre sumed to be tho habitat of tho professional and tho olito, but now Ponsonby luxuriates in a well-appointed tram service. The streets for the most p.irt aro most creditably formed. It has a water supply, gas in abundance, and a good social had On the other hand, Parnell is singularly deficient in all theso respects, barring the gas ; and hero tho lamps aro situated so far apart that on a dark night, when one h found, there is rejoicing ; but tho joy immediately wanes when the distance to ha travelled before the brother lamp is witnessed is fully realised. A good town hall, a train service, a railway station aro imperatively demanded, and in my urgent clamour for this trio I trust that like my old nameeake, I shall not be as the voico of one crying in tho wilderness.—l am, &c,

Johk Abbott. Parnell, November 30,1585.

Thk Company begs to notify to tho public that the works at Auckland and the Waltara have now been completed, and constitute the most extensive Meatprcsorving and ITree* ing Works in Now Zoaland. WHOLESALE MEAT MARKET AND SHIPPING DEPOT Ii now open at the Company'a Works at tho Railway Wharf, where Town and Country orders will be attended to with the utmost promptness and despatch. Tho Company can refer with confidence to the superior quality ef ita Primk Mba*, ac selected for the market from large quantities of first-class West Coast stock, dealt with at the Company's Works, Waitara, SALT BEEF. Special attention is directed to tho Company's brand in this line, which, with the faci lities afforded by the cold-air process, can be curod in mild pickle, and the neooasity of cutting np in small pieces obviated. As contractors for H.M. Navy, here and in Sydney, Urge stocks are kopb on hand. BACON-CURING. The Cooling Chambers for Bacon-curinp at the Company's Works in Auckland are now bo far advanced that this New Industry has boon commenced, and choice Hams and Bacon can be offered cured on the most modern principle. Particular attention will be paid to the selection of Pigs tor this use, and on no account will any excopt Dairy ob Corn Fed Pigs be purchased, as it is purposed to build up a reputation for an Auckland Ham and Bacon Factory. MEAT-PRESERVING. Thk branch l« equal to an output of 120,0001b5. per diem, and the Company has the greatest confidence in recommending its PRESERVED MEATS As superior to anything of the kind heretofore offered to the public. The Company would specially call attention to the fact that the OOMPRBSSBD CANNED BEEF AND MUTTON, PACK.KD IN THK SQUARE CAN (The right to which is patented), is the first sample from any part of the world that has been able to compete successfully in the London Market with tho best Chicago brands. Hitherto the Colonial meats packed in the round cans, although called compressed meatsj were only saleable in the English markets, where a low price was tho first consideration, bnt meats of the New Zealand Packing Company, submitted in competition for Admir alty supplies at Deptford Dockyard, were awarded the highest commendation, and placed on the register of accepted brands. Tho following oxtract from tho letter of tho Company's Agents in London, tho Now Zealand Loan and Morcantilo Agency Company (Limited), is reforrod to, who write as follows:— "We H»Te tho pleasure to hand yon herewith an extraot from a letter reoel ved from the War °?S?f l .—J;IPT Department :—" Samplea of tho Peach Brand of tho New Zoaland BaokhiK Co rabTnlttod by you, have been tested and provod, and tho Brand will be added to tho Selected Uat the.

Consequent upon the temporary stoppage of production during tho transfor of the Company's Meat-preserving Works from Auckland to Waitara, and owing to the fact that the reserve which had been relied upon to meet current demands was taken by the New South Waleß Government for the Soudan expedition, the Company has been unable to comply with numerous demands from customers, but are now prepared to execute with promptitude all orders with which they may bo favoured. WHOLESALE BUTTER DEPOT. _ J" 10,P o*npan?Ja *bout t0 open a lal '8e Wholesale Butter Depfit at their Freezing Works, Railway Wharf. Cooling Chambers and the necessary plant are now beinl prepared. B It is anticipated that with the appliances, cold-air chambers, and facilities for dealing with the ever-increasing surplus, the Company will be able to offer a regular and satisfactory market for Dairy Produce. s The Company's Managers of this branch are cash purchasers of Prime Butter and Fresh Eggs. Communications may at onco be andreased to them, The utmost care will be taken In the selection of Butter for table use This will be made up fresh every morning. As early as possible, wholesale orders of Butter will be delivered in refrigerated carts, so that retailers will be able to obtain a day's supply each morning, and householders, by insisting upon being supplied with the Company's Brands of Butter, will obtain a table delicacy throughout the year. The department will be under the management of Messrs Glanville and Ellvett whoee Butter Business is being taken over by the Company.
