Port Hoyitl Hull ICoatl Mftiting The meeting of the stockholders of the Port Royal Rttil Road Company was held at Port Royal in the cinmodious hall over Mr. Wilkins store, on Wednesday May 5th. Mr. Gen. Gage was chosen Chairman of the mc.ting. The ro'l was called and over 88,244 shares were ascertained to be ripresented personally or by proxy. The question arose as whether ?nv p. rson other than stockholders could act as proxy, and it appeared that the present lty-I.nws did not render it necessary tor stock t o l?e re? resented by an actual stockholder. The minutes of the lust stockholders meeting were read and confirmed and the proc ceilings of the *J;rpct<>r* at the different sessions of the the year met with similar fiypjwval, fi< sldiTt V'ilfon submitted a report ttiiich was necessarily brief, from tlu-fact of his having been made tha bead of the ?orp r.itimj bijf 4 feiy d?ys.
