The Express. — London, England, 1848-02-21 00:00:00

THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 21, 1848. and our revenue hes been trebled. Veer stook Me continued in as good • contlitien as It was in 1845, at the eats of the amalgamation. ad I should not rest setielled if it was not considerably better—l think I have shown you that your capital has been faithfully applied ; and I may add, that there fa never • carriage or engine worn out on the line that it is not replaced by • batter. INI not aware that there la go other charge egeteetoe, or matter on which wean liable to be that calla tor oblong/lee from me, and I will, there. fore. proceed to the business more immediately before no. You will aete, by a referenee to the report, that the directore propose neat year to commence the creation of a depreciation fund. At pre sent we are under • contract which was entered into fer seven years for keeping the permanent way of ODE line in repair. The last of our old outrun for the line to Derby and some other placeeexpites at Midsummer, when • couiderable saving of ezpense will be effeced. That airing, together with ot h er funds, we intend to apply to the formation of slued for the repair of the perma nent way, and replacing rails and deepen when it Mull be found ne cessary. I bete may onetime, that In courquence of • heavier de scription of engines being now used, and a higher rate of speed being required than was formerly deemed necreany. the rails have had to be , metered by heavier one. than were at first had down. Bat though the I old tails have had to betaken up as nut eufficiently heavy for toe man }et not being wore out, whey. tined them In the coutruction of new iMes end Sane, for which other rails would otherwise beveled to behoeght. The east of themes raibi leathern carried to capital ace went, but when the old rails have teen wed their coot has been charged to the revenue, eo that, in point of fact, the only addition thou made to the capital account is the amount of difference in the met between the old and the new relit, While I am mentioning the state of your line I will nut call your anentkei to one fact. You are probably all aware that the .oldster brought forward the budget in the House of Camutione last night. A special train was engaged to carry this morn ing's papers containing the debate to the north, and we have learned by the elietnc telegraph that our engine conveying the express per formed in duty in two henna and nix minutes, being at the rate of Si mile• an hour, • speed which I believe has never been excelled on the narrow gauge ; while it hoe been attained at • much Ina octet than would have been the case bed our lime been constructed on a wider gauge. There b another gratify lag fact, which it giver me much pleseure tn making known to you it is that the directors do not mean to make any call upon you for money during the present half year It was with exceeding regret that, during the bete un fortunate and digestion. time*, the directors had to make any .ills upon you, but they found it abrolutely necessary to do so, in order to provide for their engagement, Wane were falling in, and not knowing whether the parties would renew theta, or call fur their money, we could not avoid making mile upon you, in order that we might be prepared to meet any contingency. It In, of canoe, difficult to settle, with any degree of accuracy, the amount of our future dividends; but I hope that at the next meeting •e shell be enabled to declare the came amount of dividend as we re commend to be declared to-day, notwi th standing that at that time a large amount of 401. thane will come Into the receipt of dividend. I joint toy opinion an to the result of our next dividend from the con viction that, after the severe deprerion which we have experienced, trade FINISt if the geld be not run away with out of the country by the operation of free trade ; and toy worthy friend, the ileputy.chairman (Mr. Kill.), same; me that it will not; and as I hope that It will not, • large improvement in trade mat shortly take place. Now, ati the Bank in enabled to issue lathe ainountof 14,000,000/. on the credit of the government, and lon now upwards of 19,000,C1en. of bullion in hand, it in not • little remarkable that, after rub a dread ful equeeth a. we have had, that the Beak ehoobi have been brought, within to abort • time, Into the most favourable petition it boa ever occupied sue the panne of the act of 1044, and which must, of neeseity. bare a con siderable inflacce upon the revival of trade. That eircum planer, taken In connexion with the heavy balance this coliqmny will have in hand, NI the moan why I expert that the divi dend will he kept up for the next ale menthe. Ido not know that I need state anything more, vant that I may mention that this day we called all our principal officers together, end of the contadmation in which I hold their ability I cannot spoilt tee highly, nor can I expoxe too high an opinion of their honour and integrity. We entre' them Wine us to-dav, end we drew their terioun nth ution to the necessity of economically conducting the line, living thtiafted that every thin le should, under present circumstances, be conducted w:th the ntriment economy, anon teeniest in view, however, the etticimey and in 11-working of the railway; for there can be era isontimy more unwise than Lacing 111-1,3!d and dim. tidied aervente. The hn. gentleman then expOttheil arise minor Memo in the account., and stated that they bad MIS in other e ninnies. rather emery meeting., in cumquats@ of • reduction of the dividends. That fortunately wan not the ages with that compeer ; but hail it been AO hr (the chairman) should ham met the sliatuholitere with the name confidence in their support; for It could not be expected that upon the immediate opening of new Bass which had tutu in tome measure forced upon them (though if they net taken them the I:ri tepid traffic of their main Doe might have le en abetracted; the yslioulti ht autidenlydeveloped,thn r. year' being the average time leatally d for that procesa; and if they obtained smu der dividend for a time, they moot bear In mind it was on a larger ea; n.l that they had n(vie,it the chores in the exter..ione 1.1.7 alt of their protita ; and whelk. r the' hail retained or etl.l Co it ,hares, they must equally so con'iller them. The lan. gentleman concluded by moving the adoption of the report—Mr. Ramey ...tended the motion, and after a short coneerthuon, In ablate Mr. Braneireth confirmed from personal examination the statement of the et amen SA to the efficiency of the mock, the rendutirm was unant moinity earrien.—A WIN. of reeolutione were then parsed declaring the dividend as recommended in the report, for converting the 40f. paid up shares into stock, authorising the directors to borrow various sums of money under the powers of their acte, and re.electing the retiring director+ and auditors. The meeting wan then made ,petal, and the hill. int. educed into parliament were unanimmoly approved I of. A vote of thanks to the chairman was accompanied with three rounds of applause.

The report stated that since the ordinary meeting of ah,relitildere, in August lust, the direetois had consideri d it their duty to retied rather than hasten the progros of the wo he; and, in the aelopuon of this plicy, they had been influenced by two important enneitlerations—firat, by ,he degree of uncertainty attending the hour • of the dnput, relating to the einnineham and Oxford line; and, eecondly. lip the generalcondition of neinetery affair% which rendered it dethrable that the resources of the company should be es husbandry' as to render any precious on the nhercholders unticemary. With re ference to the tint point, there were rateinable grounds to expect a netisfactory termination of the disputes which had to long extend.

The report goes on to state that with a r aw . of carrying out, in the most efficient manner, the cot:teeny s op era t ions in India, the directors ap pointed Mr. Adams and Mr. lies can to act conjointly with Mr. Ste phenson, as the representative of the board in India ; and these gen tlemen, accompaniod by an aselstant secretary and a complete staff of engineent, proceeded to Calcutta on the 20th of septerober, with instructions to limit their proceedings to the meueiree alavolutely ameseary for showing the remarries., of their purpose, and to prohibit the oommencemmt el any expensive opera tion.

In order to provide funds for the deposit of I , o,oolie require' by the Eau India Company, a call mat made in August lest of 20s. a Aare, which was not reopended tom an to enable the directem to make the deposit by the 2 ist of October, which was the time fixed; and, by arrimile meats with the East India Company, the time is tow extended to the 31st of March next. In the mean time, the directors hare taken care, by u judicious insestracut of the funds, to be in a position to secure te the proprietors who paid up the call a sum equal to 5 per cent. inte mot, the rate, as guaranteed, to be paid by the Rut India Company. fiutrequently, and when the imposed state et the money market ap peered to justify that measure, the directors felt Bright, looking to the Interne of the undertaking, and especially of those who had paid their call, to fix the 15th of January lea es the longest limit that could be allowed to make the payments in arrest . . The dinictors now report, that te this dote the sum of 21,370/.

In re. epect to those terip receipts which bane not been registered, the direc tors feel it imperutive that they should be declared forfeited. Aftet adverting to the bill before parliament, for facilitatiug the operations of the company, by reducing the Sol. shares to Md. each, the report mates that the directors are In a position to pay 5 per cent. interest on all the rails paid up with money derived from the investment of the trompany's funds, and which they recommend to be paid up to the 31at of Starch, when the guarantee of the East India Company will take effect, on payment to them of the deposit of 100,0001. With te ference to the completion of the contract aoh the East India Com pany, the directors think the termsoffered susceptible of melioration; but, with a Ike to these and other matters 4 interest to the company. they are strongly of opinion that the board ought to be In a poution to make the deposits of 100,000 f. on the 31,0 of March neat, and hope to he able to effect this by the prompt payment of the call in serer.

They stated that when the prisoner escaped into the Kura, the complainant pursued be r for some time, and having at length come up to her, he struck her violently in the back of the neck with his clenched fist, and felled her to the ground.

After this transaction he and hie par'ner were ap plied to by many well-dressed persons in the like manner. one of whom having, by accident, left behind him one of the prisoner's cards, an inquiry was instituted, and it was ascer tained that lee was connected with a gang of swindlers, and that Gray had been convicted as such. This discovery in duced witness to take legal advice, and the prisoner was, after much perseverance, apprehended at a beer shop in Talbot court, Grace-church-street, sod on his being searched several pawnbrokers' duplicates, having reference to the pro perty in question, wen• found about him and at his lodgings. —Mr. Noah Bruce, jeweller and watchmaker, proved that in September hut the prisoner swindled him out of 221. 21. worth of goods, having pawed himself off as Henry Orwood, of uO.

The last year, lamentable as it was for the un paralleled vicissitudes of commerce, was sesrcely less so for its demoralising effects on commercial character. The recklessness of overtrading and over-speculation, far beyond the limits of legitimate capital and re sources, of which multiplied failures brought on the exposure, was alone sufficient to bring discredit on the British mercantile name in other parte of the world. But other causes tending to depreciate it still more, without even the palliation, inadmissible as that may be, of rash and inconsiderate trading, have not been wanting. It is notorious that merchandise, such as corn and cotton, purchased by special order, and upon credits open and unlimited as to price, in the United States, have been refused acceptance on arrival here, both as to the commodities themselves, and bills drawn against them in this country, when and because prices had so fallen as to make the speculation on which based unprofitable or disastrous in its results. Even large dealers in money, who had been so ill advised as to depart from the usual course of their business, and embark in mercantile specu lations, have been known to repudiate engage ments entered into on their authorised account on the other side of the water. Merchan dise still remains in the Custom-house, it is known, consigned to legitimate owners, who do not choose to come forward, pay the dues, and the bills drawn against, and so redeem their property. Worse still ; there are parties, it is said, who sent out agents to the United States to purchase whatever could be obtaised, without limit of price, cotton or corn. On the occurrence of the failures of great houses here, so anxious were various parties lest such unli mited orders should not be executed, because of the discredit that might be superinduced from such unfortunate casualties, that credits or, undoubted banking houses in this city were sent out for use in case of need. The commodities so ordered were purchased and shipped, with or without the necessity of making use of these supplementary credits, and all shipping charges paid on the other side. When the vessels arrived here the cargoes were taken possession of by the competent parties, probably disposed of. but when the bills given in payment arrived they were refused acceptance aid payment, and, in consequence, the agents by whom drawn in the United States, authorised duly as they were, have been served with process, and in some instances, as reported, have been placed in durance vile, either on the other aide of the water or here, as it would seem, where, in default of bail, they must re main until the courts of law in this country shall fix, which will certainly be the case, the parties so forgetful of common honesty with the penalty of fulfillir.g their engagements. The unfor tunate agents therefore may be detained in custody, or, equal to custody, on bail, for many months to come, in addition to months of suffering already. Such doings must bring British commerce into dis credit everywhere. 614GLIRTI FUND& 3 per Ct. Reduced Anne.. 119} I India Ronde, under £3,000, 10 T o lAi i Console for Amt., 663 21 6 Each.

The more re ceipts for the half-year from each portion of the line, a..d including the Ashby Canal, have been 586,0341. An. art, being upward, of 101,0001. more than those of the previous half-yerr. After so con siderable an Ina CAPe in 1 he receipts, the proeptetive addition from the further immediate opening by mean, of the Syston and Peterborough Railway, in connexion with the Baleen Counties Railway, with the metera districts of England, ler the supply of mineral*, and the return from thence of corn for the manufacturing districts, the proprietors would nee...eerily Sind a large increase in Do m/naive carriage and waggon stock. Store the hest kale-yearly meeting, 12 mike of 'he blemish Vallee branch have been ripened, but as the branch, to the principal collieries were not yet completed, and the ;unction with the Punton BildWOV had ban postponed, there. oaten for the portion have been email. since the legit meeting the direc. tors hod taken the entire of the carrying husinene on account of the company. D. the last of the old contract. for maintenenve of the per. manent way would expire next July, and • comideneble saving would the, be effected in this item of expenditure, the directors proposed to form a fund, by appropriating after that date 20,0,02 annually, for the purpoee of reuewing the nide and deepen from time to time, OA may be found necessary. Mf. Maley, the superintendent 01 the locomo tive and carriage departments, reported that the locomotive, carriage, and worgem ,tack me in improved working condition.

The extension of the hue from Lorag.lane through Ashby Jodie Midland at Burton-upon-Trent, wax going on, and would be ready for traffic in the coulee of chi. 3 ear. The line from Nottingham and Midelk Id was proceeding. Three bills have been introduced into parliament in the present emion ; one of them for sanctioning so alteration in the south Midland line, near W.

These branches were chiefly designed fur the better mcommodation of the mineral traffic. The total estimated cunt wee 93,001. The statement of account* showed that the total rosette* on the capital account have been 9,767,0241.

The Chairman said—ln undertaking to move the adoption of the • report, it will ne my . duty to make a few oheereatioes in it* elucida tion and in illustration of the principles it embudiew. Gentlemen, you have observed that of late them patties who are constantly attack. ing railway property hove materially pinned the ground of their at. ' tacks. Them maim were in the habit of attaching railway companies on the ground that they took too much torn the public, and nue called so well with some neighbouring cum:Arnim as to induce them to lower their farm. tam happy to knew that we did not give way • to the clamour fore low tariff, which at the time led to attache upon us, but which his enabled us to hold our partition throughout the Isle monetary era*. The tam. party are now leaning in another dire.. tioa, and turning round they ammo us of paying our dividends out of capital. Now, I hope to convince yea before I sit down, that that charge is unfair and unlmilded, and that an far no UM company is caucerned—and I believe all others—such a practice has never existed. It la my duty to chow this to you, and that the financial poeition of this company is most satisfactory. When I last had the patire of meeting you! entered into an termination of the aiurceri of ana the probable revenue which you might mpect this half year. If you an recall to your sand. the observation. which I then rnade, you will remember that I said that the probable revenue foe this half year would he 600,0001. It in a source of great mai:action to me to know that what I then predicted haa been Italy and that we meet the sharehulders to-dae, *bowing that o: e ff ri t le al earnings breve been Upwards of that stun. You are probably aware that the statement that we pay our dividends out of capital is dieleible into two parts—the items upon which we have been most enriched being the charges for the bittern on capital— end for our working Mock. Now, gentlemen, I can rue you that not one sixpence hue ever been debited to the account of capital foe Interne on our debenture debt, but bus always been charged to the revenue accour.t. Therefore coy simple reply to that charge to that every napalm of interest that could be fairly to charged, Me been charged to the revenue account, and Ido not think it will be neves. sery for me to make another observation on that head. I now come to speak of ;the question 05 our car eying Kock, which I have most • carefully considered; and here I must premise that at the conclu sion of the !mediae I should with every gentleman to walk round the statism, and view the state of our stock, for which Mr. Kirtley will give every facility, and convince himself of the effickat state in whkh it 1., on compared to what It was when the =alga 'Wien of the time companies took place. With regard to the alletiation of our having charged for carrying stock to capital nrwhich ought to have been charged to revenue account, Aow you that our stock is is a much better condition than it was at the time of the amalgamation. I will show you what was the aunt of our carrying stock in 1845, when the amalgamation was entered into, and what it stdw. I will further *hove you whet was oar revenue at that time, what it Is •at present, and sou old then see that our stock is Imre now in proportion to our revenue than it was at that time; and wben I have done that I do not Where that anyone will think that we have added more to the capital account than was necereary to meet the requirements of the new lines and the female of our traffic. Previous to the amalgamation the working goats of the three companies, either of engine', carriages, or wag gon& were not coal to the Walk of the lines. In sayim this I do not with to cost any reflections on either the Midland, the Midland Counties, or the Birmingham and Derby aunpanies. Rath party. were walrus to economise their funds te the utmost of Mo wer y and the result was, that they were not in • condition t provide for the traffic- Gentlemen, at that time the engines were not °My numerically too few foe the traffic, but they were deficient in power. Thee mng, we ham had made larger and more powerful -- and tinis they were rendered nearly new and equally as good—ere c h am e the e xpense of the alteration to the revenue and not to the capital account. At the time of the amalgamation we had 174 mike of railway opened, and the emu Fleet on working stock amounted to 467,41,22 ; while at the present time, including the Brietul and Cam/eater line, we have 437 miles opened and at work, ant the amount spent on the working stock I. 1,3b7,710/.; but in that sum is mcluded 130,0002 for awl wagger*, which it it uot usual to supply upon railways ; and if we deduct that amount, It reduces the Dent of 0 a egking stock, in round numbern, to 1,250,0001. Now, if the number of miles on multiplied by three-3,wit per mile being the usual sum calculated for the working stook of a line—it will ke band that in each we we are ands the enrage. Now, in Me ease period, our receipt. have increased from 430,000:. per annum to up ...di of 1,10,0,000/. per annum. Before the amalgamation you therefore, see our working stock had oost th e 2,7001. per ralle, and now it.ba5 "..49004, r e ex mile ;while, In the ante time, both our stock SHIPPING IN TELLIOEN CE.73lAlts.
