The stearmpacket aervice has been well maintained, at a seduction in the expenditure under this head of 2,851/. on the half-year. The pickets have run 26,070 mike during that period, at an average speed of 141 statute miles per hour; the avenge time occupied in making all the peonage+ between the epponte shares having bean I hour 38 minutes. It will be observed that the capital expended during the half-year has amounted to 80,8011. Ids. Ild., the principal portion of which has ;been for additional working stock. for oorooletinr the direct junction of the mein line with the Tim -664gs Wells and Hawing.. branch, And for additional works end station aocounuodation on the main line and branches, as authorised by the proprietors. The directors are . procoeding, from time to time, with the sale of the rompany • surplus Linda. The amount realised during the last year has ban 17,0021., the Lands wild having brought good price... The remaining surplus property trot mowed for the purposes of the railway will be offered for oak. as opportunities occur. Tho attention of the directors has been much occupied during the peeling wagon of parliament by the proradinge involved in the application made for • relief literof railway front Lewisham to Dartford. •• It also became the duty of the directors to oppose the com• patine ~hems of the East Kent Company fora line between fitreel and St. Mary's Cray , by which, in conjunction with the Bromley to St. Marl 's Cray and the West End and Cr, end Palace lines, they sought to prams as seems to 1-ondon entirely independent of the South-Bsetems system, and thereby to enter into compendia fur the whole of the Continental, Dovee, Canterbury andStreed treks. The principle contended fur by this company before par liament was, that the East Keut ltailway, established for military and local considerations, end presented to parliament in the first instance es • line in exteimion of the North Kent ought not now to be treated as a portion of an en finely independent scheme. After a protracted nivestigetion this view was adopted by the maimins of the Ilona, of Commons, who passed the Greenwich Junction to Dartford Bill, rejecting the East Kent Bill, and, by their report to the house, meugnised the just claim of the South Eastern Company to protection from u n n content plated.7l i ~io aof the Kant z e t sze o h ni ne . t ha y. t menial regard the derision thus coo to by dm committee of the HOW, of Commons, and the important principle which it recognises, se of the greatest value to the interests of this company, and of all railway property. The directors, however, regret to add that the bill, after having received the eanction of the proprietors and been in. trodueed into the House of Lords, was rejected by their Lordships committee, in so far as related to the formation of the proposed relief line of railway between Lewisham and Dartford. The proprietors have already been informed that the coin toittee.4 the Houma 001111101111, before passing the preamble of the bill, required the directors to give them a pledge that they would cull the pcoprietore together, with a view to pro viding a communication with the west end of London. The chairman, in deelarizig the decision of the committee, needs Rome remark. which would appear to intimate that the com mittee ormaidend the scheme propped Incomplete, inasmuch as it did net provide such a rommunication. And the di rectoes have memento believe that the committee of the !balm of Lade were induced to reject the preamble, in order that • scheme may be brought forward neat erasion in a more com plete form, in connexion with a plan for giving the dmircd memo to the west end of London. The bill promoted by this eniiipany In the present Realm has, therefore, received 'he royal went limited in its object., prinipally to the formation of the junction at Tunbridge. and the 16CIVIV4 in the quelitication of director. from 6001. to 2,0001. stock, to La held for three months previous to the date of ebvtion, and further, that twenty-one daye notice be I given of the intention of any proprietor to offer himself for the office of director. Application was made by this ..ompanv for a bill autho rising the connection of the heeding and Ileigate branch of this railway with the narrow gauge of the Greet Western Railway at Reeding. The Stainm, Wekinehem, and Woking Company applied for similar powers, and the Great Weeion Company, as well as the corporetion of Reading, having given the preference to their whim., the bill promoted, by this company was rejected, and that of the Staines, Woking• ham, and %eking Company was peened, after youidinvtore had succeeded in obtaining the insertion of clawea by which this company will secure the full advantages of the junction, whether constructed by the Great Western, or by the Stain., Wokingliem, and Woking Company. The directors roesidered it to be their duty to oppose the passing of the bill sutherising the formation of a line from a point on the East Kent Railway to Ilene Bay. in which, however, they did not succeed. The South London Railway Bill, the Did-Kent Itsilway (Croydon Extension) Bill, sad the Mid-Kent nod South-Kent Railway Bill, were eleo oppmed by this compony. in concert with the Brighton Company, lei rejected by parliament.

Con sidering the nature of the traffic to be developed, and that the opening out of the diigrict, which has so ter been accomplishett i. partial only, the vault of the four months' working must be deemed highly eatinfoctery The work. upon the recline from Stokeeley to Kildele are now rapidly approaching completion, and a branch in being formed by the gnome of the lugleby iron ore, which will be enm pkttil annultancouely with the main line to Ingleby.

The directors are now in treaty with the Britiih and Irish Magnetic Telegraph Company fur the erection of the electric telegraph on the line.

The Miriam of dividend we, in some email neesere, dee to*. payment of 13,4751., the amount demos ea accoast of the conveyance of mails. Instead of paying at the rate of five per cent. this half-vear to the Berwick section el tharehehlers, of four per rent. to the York ahareholdere, mad of two per cent. to the Leeds shareheldere, which the directors felt were fair end proper dividends , . they esald, if they wished to hove given • sudden Malan to the apparent value of their line have paid six per cent. to the Berwick, tire per cent. to the York, and three per cent. to the Leeds sections of chore. bolder.. They, however, thought it much more prudent to declare the dividend they had dune. Ile then alluded to the therein of Vale in the various departmente, to the further inerem which they expected to anee, and juerilled the mea ning which the directive bad from time to time adopted to develop the traffic in the various districts travereed by their liner.

Mr. Alderman LEEMAN, vice-chairman of the company, seconded the adoption of the report. In reply to Mr. Chaeopley, The CHAIIIMAN stated that although a branch line might not pay very well of itself, still It wait often of importance as a feeder to the math line. Ile admitted that the Midland Conipiny had renewed debenturie at 41 per cent • but ebb, company had mho renewed at 41 and 11 ; the exa ct rata of Internet depended very much upon the precise petted at which the renewals were made. Mr. Sean oppoved of the contingency fund to some extant, but urged that a railway company had no bueinthe te have bad dride. The eIIAIHNIAN, in reply, miaowed that occasionally the' company were obliged to take acceptances, and if the wane riving theae failed, of course the company must nth .r the lose. Mr. Si Me. made levee remarks in reference to the recent serious accidents which had occurrid on the North-Eastern line, contending that when such accident, moue from the negligence of any of the company's eervente, they should be made en example of by instant drecharge.

(Laughter) The bet wee, however, that no ens could be more desirous to prevent these unfortunate accidents than were the dinette's of this emptily. Mr. doitheox thought the opening statement made by the chairman wee exceedingly ratiefactory, but be charged that gentleman with a breech of rod faith, in neither having pabliehed the name of the principal officials of the la the report nor stated the reeves. why that had eelr= done. The CHAIRMAN admitted the omission, adding that the directors went decidedly opposed to the proposed plan. Mr. imitate entered into a long rioternent with reaped to the amalgamation of the Melton and Drillield with the North Badmen Company, and complained that the terms were neither Just nor reasonable, and that they' Led not boon Lally carried out. The CHAIRMEN liihdo ati equally long reply, taking just the cestrary aide of the argument ; contending that, but for the North Eastern undertaking the working of the Molten and Drifield, it would not hate been in so favourable a con dition se it we now. After seen further diecurairm the report was adopted. The CHAIRSIA 'a then movol the dividend resolution for Si. per cent. per annum on the Berwick stock, 41. on the York stock, and V. on the Leeds stock, payable on the 27th Met.

The resolution wee carried. Mr. JHIIN.ON, not being satisfied with the meson the chairman had given for nut publaking the names of the of cial. of the company, wired • formal resolution that in future that should be done.
