Tis wee delisted to be tbe molt of thapell: tamprlowas 2,830 i r a te et idtbdrefelag the Safe& 6,409 The announcement of this result elicited loud appiarise, and cries of " Bravo." Mr. Berjeaut °ASHUR wished to knee whether the directors thought that after this vote, which had teen given whit them, they amid carry on the affairs of the c.mpany with credit to them erms or with satisfaction to the proprie tors ; or whether they were prepared to pb-c• their seats as a board at the discretion of the proprietors ? The CHAIRMAN spoke as follows: In reply to the Isannod mejsaat, all I an say is, that I cannot answer for my ostlotgoes, as we have had no board meeting to consider I the lOW ; bat I can say truly for myself that it is not my Wades to 11011111,1111 at the Rasters Counties board after the reptile** oesamittee. (than hear.) The course which I inteeded to take I will now state. I must, of course, con sult my Mends, which I have not yet bad en opportunity of doing, having been engaged upon two committees of the Eastern Counties Company; but, according to my present view, I cannot, consistently with doing justice to the prl pristary, who have by their vote to-day rescinded that wkkh they formerly sanctioned—l cannot, I say, remain at this board, not having the confidence of the proprietary. That is my view at present. I shall take an opportu nity of consulting my friends ; but this I will tell you now that I do not intend to rorign until the committee shall have made their report. (Hear, I hear, and cheers.) I will give you say reason for that de terminatiaa. I think that, from the great time that I have I devoted to this railway, I must know something of its affairs, and as the committee may require 113010 explanations, it is my intention to attend at the Eastern Counties Board, as I have hitherto done, until the period when the committee make their report. I think your interest might suffer if I did not. — Mr. &dent GABBLE)! said he bad not meant to speak offensively. There were several gentlemen then sitting on the board who, if they . resigned their planes, would probably be elected to serve again. (Hear, bear.) It war desirable, however, that the board should, as a whole, be remodelled. (Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN—WeII, perhaps the committee will re pot on that point- hut I now declare that until the report has been prs-ented the badness is adjourned. Mr. KENNARD (a director) said he wished to make one IR two observations. The Eastern Counties board consisted of 18 directors, 12 of whom were elected by the Eastern Counties , while the remaining six represented the Northern and Eastern company. The six gentlemen who represented the Northern and Eastern shareholder. had at all times and on all evasions, expressed their perfect con fidence in Mr. Waddingtea—(Cheers)—and upon the cha racter of Mr. Waddington as thus viewed—a view which he believed the committee of inquiry would confirm—noes el: Northern and Eastern directors would stand. (Cheers.) It was their duty to pro tect the interests of their own proprietary ; but they honestly believed that Mr. Waddington had done his best, and he had thought that there would be something wanting on the part of the Northern and Eastern director., who sat at the board as officio, if they did not testify publicly, after such proceed ' bite as these, that they had placed entire otnficience in that gentleman. (Cheat.) The CHAlRMAN—Gentlemen, I &ears that this meet ing is now adjourned. !Several personshere loudly vociferated the word.," Thanks to Mr. Waddington." Amidst the confusion which ensued it was impomibie to distinguish the mover ; but a vote of thanks to Db. Waddington was formally proposed, seconded by Mr. Box (on whose motion the committee of inquiry had been agreed te on the previous day), and carried unani mously and by nelaination. Mr. KENNARD—He deserve. your thanks. Three cheers were then given for Mr. Waddington, and three groans for Mr. Hudson; after which the meeting dis persed. THE SOUTH DEVON. Half -yearly Hating.—Plymouth, Feb. 27.—T. WOOLIr. COMBS, Esq., the chairman of the board, in the chair. The directors' report stated that " The powers of raising the remaining balance of capital under the Act of Incorpora tion, by the issue of the two thousand shares which have hitherto been re served, and of creating capital in due season to replaces the advanees already made, and to supply the fur ther amount of subscription required for the Great Western Docks, form an important part of the company's eventual re sources ; but it is obvious that the value of those ;powers must depend altogether upon the future prosperity of the railway ; and it would, therefore, have been purely spe culative lad the directors presented any estimate in raciest of the sums which were likely to be thus realised. The receipts upon the revenue account for the half year have am-tented to 40,1211. 18s. lid., and the expenditure has been 28,9281. Bs. leaving a profit upon the working of the line, of 11,1961.85. lid., out of which interest amounting to 98341.11.. lid, has been paid upon debentures ; and a sur plus of 1,3601. 17s. b brought forward as a balance to the current half-year. To this sum will have to be added the amount which the company is entitled to receive for the car riage amens from 21st September, 1847, but the directors, pending arbitration upon this subje ct with the postoffice, are to unable present an estimate o the amount. The revenue account besides being forth, first time directly charged with the payment of a bail-year's interest, has borne a great part of those ch of establishment and other expenses which had pretioulj been paid out of the capital account. In its general moult, therefore, this account is really more favour able in comparison with that which was subreinsi to the proprietors in August leek than it may at first sight appear ; and It shows who* quite as great an improve ment as under all cireuestoosos could have been expected In se short a time. Dodo' W. period the directors have redwood to on. half of its fame amount du sum allowed by the proprietors for the direseme rannosentien ; and this, with other reductions which have bees WNW, will amount to about 2,8001, per annum. Farther measures for unto. Wing the worklag of the line ere under present considers. tics. The directors have concluded arrengenesets respecting the perdu of the Dartmoor Railway neer Plymouth, to moon the adeptatios of that line for the asesamnelation of the trade of Sutton Pool. Rehiring to the evidences which hes been given to parliament and to the Admi ralty at diffused time, as to the selection of a pe en d departure for the mail steam-packets, the anticipate with much confidence that this rail way in connexion with Its terminal approaches, will ulti mately secure to Plymouth, in preference to all o th er ports, the advantage of being selected as the mail packet station. The directors have for some time been in negotiation for the renewal of debentures now due, amounting to 81,200 1. , or the !substitution of bonds bearag interest at six per cent. ; and, having consulted the solicitor general in reference to the legality of this proposal, that gentleman has stated ' that he is clearly of opinion, no objection min be taken to these beads on the ground that they bow a higher rate of Interest than five percent.' Therefore the directors have agreed with some of the debenture holders accorlingly. With reference to further renewals, ithad bun intended to iesue a circular to the shareholders offering the same terms to such of them u might have been disposed to advance money on the bonds referred to for the purpose of disabusing the Chian of diseenthatereditors. It will be desirable that a resolution should be posed by the proprietors Investing the directors with power to re-borrow on debenture or bond, where this may become necessary in respect of loans that may not be etrictly In mere renewal of those now due or about to become payable. It will this day be proposed that a petition be presented to the legislature in favour of a bill promoted by the railway interests through out the kingdom, having for its object the introduction of a more eeqquitable system of rating railway property to the poor. CColonel Hindi having retired from the board, the ddkk have, in exercise of the powers conferred upon them by the act of incorporation, elected T. H. Belted, E q., to supply the vassney. Lord Seymour, whose period of service would now have expired, has abo resigned his seat. The obairmen, Mr. Woolleonabe, retiree lathe order of rotation, e a l lgs bo te n ble for re-obeties.

The set of incorporation provides that the number of hkethers shell be twenty-one ; four of whom ere to be ap pointed by the Great Western board, five by the Bristol end Zeoese board, two by the Bristol and Gloucester board, and ten by the shareholders. In sonsequence of - the transfer of the Bristol and Gloucester Railway to the Midland Railway Company without due care having bees taken to confer upon the directors of the Midland Ccomeaythe privilege which the former company poseessed of tation at this board, therespect right of **Bristol and Company, in this , has la • the Moslem htve propeeed to conger In any applicu psed tkxi to but pu llout! to odub that right in favour of the Midland board.

The report was adopted, sad The resolutioa of Mr. Calm-Gorr was then again pro posed by that gentleman. General 817LLIVAN seconded the resolution. filome convention on the plan ensued, from which It ap peared ft would be considered and matured, or modified by the director., with the assistance of Mr. Hutton, and then submitted to the shareholders for approval.

BULLER, Egg., in the &sir.— The SECRETARY read the report, whisk stated he amount cf rent and share of toll diced by the Great Western Railway Company to be due to this company, for the half year ended on the 18th of December, 1848, is as follows, via. : 1181 f-tear% fixed rent from June 14 to Des. 13, 1848, at 71,9311. s year £33,978 10 0 Tontine on 443,140 paisseren,ocanyed 10,640309 miles, at Id. per pamengar per mile Tollags on goods, 70,710 tons 3 cwt 3 ors. 27 lbs., conveyed 2,897,198 miles, at id. per ton per mils 13,893 4 9 (49,87114 9 "This shows a decrease of 18,692 passenger', travelling 418,920 miles less than in the corresponding half of the year 1847; bat there has been an increase of 2,468 tons of goods, conveyed 125,018 miles more, so that the falling off in cult receipts amounts to only 3061. 2s. 11d. ; which, considering the circumstances of the time, is le than might have been expected. Toe sui pension of the allowance of interest on both classes of your South Devon Railway shares involves the necessity of a tem. parity reduction of Use dividend. You will have seen that the net disposable balance of revenue is 22.7321. 61. 3d., and the sum now entitled to dividend being 1,150,0001., your di rectors recommend to you to declare a dividend of 11. 10.. per share, free of income tax, which will require the sum of 22,5001., and leave a small surplus. Bur, if the confident hope entertained by the directors of the South Devon Rail. way be realised, that they will be enabled, in the course of the present year, to resume (at least in some measure) the payment of interest on the capital invested in that under taking, you may look forward to an early return toe better dividend, especially If your directors are justified in indulging a smarties expectation of a large Increase in the amount of disposable reverue, after the expiration of the lease to the Great! Western Company on the Ist of May next. With respect to Third Snares, it is proposed to continue the payment of littered on paid-up calls until both classes of shares may with propriety be put on the same footing. The dividend warrants for Whole Shares and the interest on Thirds as well as that on anticipated calls, for the half-year to the 31st Dec., 1848, will be remitted together, as usual, on the last day of the present month, payable in April. The Clevedon and Tiverton Branches have not yet yielded any direct profit, the expenditure has exceeded the income ; but their influence on the traffic of the main line is beneficial. Year directors regret that it is still out of their power to =- nouns* to you any favourable change in the circumstances of the Exeter and Creditors Railway ; the London and Ssuth- Western sad the Taw Vale Companies being unable to work the line themselves, and unwilling to facilitate your doing so. The stets/neat of receipts and expenditure to the 31st Dec., 1848, shows a balance of 382,9801. lie. lid., as the amount of shares held by this Company, convertible securities, and balances in the hands of the bankers." The CHAIRMAN explained several proceedings which the board had adopted with a view to econom, and con. chided a speech which seemed to give considera ble satisfac tion, by moving the adoption of the report. A conversation also took place as to the propriety of re ducing the lumber of direwors; but resignations having brought the number down to 14, it was agreed to leave it to the directors to deal with the question as they pleased. GLOUCESTER AND DEAN FOREST. _ - Halryeery Meeting.—Cilonoseter, Feb. 28.—S. BAnna, Esq., in the chair. The SECRETARY read the report, from which it ap pealed that the call which had been made had been paid with a promptitude, probably, not surpassed by any rail way company," and that the tinances were in a sound con didon. As to the works the report said,'' The directors think it necessary now to promote the construction of the works with greater vigour, their proceedings having been checked for some time put by the retarded state of the works on the South Wales Railway, it being obvious that It would have been misapplied speed to have expedited the works from Gloucester to the Grange before the South Wales company were prepared to forma junction there. The directors conceive they shall beat consult the interest of the proprietors by constructing the works with steady diligence, and by acting so as to apportion the expenditure uniformly, and to be at all times prepared to accelerate operations ac- 1 cording to circumstances. With this view the contractors are about to commence the deep cuttings at Rightism, and with the spoil to form the embankments towards the Grange ; and the directors will otherwise regulate the works so as to open them from Gloucester to the Grange simultaneously with the South Wales lice from the Grange to Chepstow, and they believe it will be in their power to accomplish it without making any unusual calls on the proprietors." The report further stated that all the land required was now obtained with the exception of a small portion at Gloucester, and that many extortionate demands had been made in that respect. They were firmly convinced, as at the outset, that the undertaking would be found a profitable one. The line wu leased to the Great Western Company at 4 per cent. on the cost of construction, with half the surplus profits, which surplus profits it was thought might be considerable. The directors gave assurance of their belief that the cost of the construction would but very slightly exceed the estimate, and, referring to the list of proprietors, observed that some large bona fide shareholders had lately come in—a con. vincing proof of the estimation in which the undertaking was held in the commercial world. The statement of accounts showed the total of receipts to be 76,5531. Is. 7d., and after expenditure for land and com pensation, construction, engineering, law, and parliamentary expenses, salaries, &c., a balance of 15,8201. was left in the bankers' hands.—The report wu carried unanimously. FLEET WOOD, PRESTON, AND WENT RIDING JUNCTION. Half-yearly Meeting.—Preston, Feb. 28.—T. B. ADM, sox, Eq., in the chair. The SECRETARY read the directors' report, from which It appeared that farther program has been made in complet ing the communication between the Longridge line and that orthe Preston and Wyre, and this junction wiU be opened for traffic in the course of the ensuing summer. To a•eet the current expense a call was made, payable on the 16th Jan. It was thought advisable that this call should not be more than 10s. a share, and it is expected that another eall, of not greater amount, in the course of the present year, will be the only demand made upon the shareholders, till arenas stances warrant an extension of the line towards Yorkshire. The CHAIRMAN stated that, la consequence of the eel gamin of the times, they only asked • 10s., instead of a 30s. call. The line would be completed In from three to six months, according to the speed at which the works were urged, and the consequent expense. After considerable discussion, in the course of which it was elicited that there was a arge amount of arrears with regard to previous call; that the company was liable to about 3,0001. for law a:pineal ; and that a gentleme n named Webster had been in receipt of 2001. a year for managing the Longbridge line, but that this expense was invaded to be done away with by the appointment of a sectetary to manage the whole undertaking at a salary of 1601. • year, the present secretary, who receives 2001. a year, resigning. The report was received and adopted. EXITED, YBoVIL, AND DOIICHUTER ffalf-yeasty Meeting.—Leadon Minh I.—This meeting was originally summoned for the 2 8th nit. ; but as there was not a sufficient muster of shareholders, it adjourned until this day, at one o'clock. Again there was no attendance of proprietors, and the meeting stands adjourned eke die. MONEY MARKET. THURSDAY ETRNINO. The continental news, of a more peaceful character than yesterday, has improved the funds to-day, the more so as stocks come so much better from Paris. Consols were repeatedly done at 92/ for money, though a fraction sometimes leas for time. In result they left off 92 to / for money, and 92t to 1 for ao count. Reduced Threes, 921 to 1 . Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents., 93 to 1. Long Annuities, 815-16 to 9. June Exchequer Billie, 39e. to 42e. premium. India Bonds, 535. to 58s. prem. Bank Stock 194 to 6. India Stock, 243 to 46. Mexican and Spanish have been the favourite ob jects of speculation to-day. Mexican were bought up to 27, but left off 261 to 7. The stock was considered cheap as a speculation, which is the only intelligible cause assigned for the rise. There is a fond in band for overdue dividends, in great part at least, which the agents, for reasons of their own, do not choose to divide. Spanish Five per Cents. advanced to, and were done at 18j, although the official list do esi not say so much ; they left off lower, at 18 to 1 ; the Threes, 291 to 30. Passive, 4to I. Portuguese, 25 to 6. Dutch Two-a-Half per Cents. 481 to 84 ; the Fours, 79 to 80. Belgian, 81 to 3. Russian, 107 to 9. Brazilian, 82 to 4, nominal. Chiffon, 94 to 7. Venezuela, 26 to 27. Buenos Ayres, 25 to 7. Danish scrip of the new Five per Cent. Lcan, 71 to 8 premium. Danish Three per Cent. stock heavy at 65 to 8. The Bank of England Board of Directors held their weekly meeting to-day, without making any alters- Una in the minimum rate of discount. .As, since the last weekly meeting, the value of money, or credit accommodation, has materially increased, this abstinence from ; action is sufficiently ex plained. Money is now worth in the open market 21 per cent. upon first-claw paper, and as trade is improving so also is it likely the prices of credit will rue. Under such circumstances, and with the special ink:motion possessed by the Bank, it is not at all probable that the minimum rates of discount will be reduced. It appears to be supposed that the Bank publishes, as formerly, a notice of any reduction or elevation of the Mud discount. Such is not the fact, and has not been for years past. When any changes take place the public are indebted to the inquiries of thilpresa for the fact. The Tiro in Spanish Bonds was accounted for by the reports of some letter received by Mr. Capel (of the Spanish Committee of Bondholders), from Madrid, of a favourable tendency. Supposing such a letter was received, Mr. Lapel, in his usual fair way, would have sent it round to the press. Another ver sionwas that Lord Palmerston had had a letter tending to re-establish ancient relations of diplomatic friend= ship, in which the Spanish Bonds were not forgotten. ruNos.
