After • period of extracrlinary anxiety and excitement as to railway affairs, your directors again appear before you to report the pros/ryes of your ontittrtaktna during the Ant fox months of the present year.

No further charge towards the interest on the 601. shares hes this half year been placed to the debit of the , as co additional portion of the Nottingham and Mansfield, or of the Erewsah Valley lines has been opened; and the opening of the Leicester and fiwennington throughout teak place only on the Ist August. As, however, it appears to be the general desire that Cie capital account should not be burthened with further pay. nernts of interest, the board purpose to treat everything from the let of July last as productive: although the Lei- I nester and Swanningtort wee opened only on the let of 1 August, the Nottingham and Mena& Id will not be opened before October next, and the Erewuh Valley Extension cannot be ready till next spring. In future no interest will be charged to capital. and the directors, after discharging the already contracted, pledge themselves not to make any important addition to capital, or to commence any new lines, without an express vote of the pvprietors. The director, have agreed to work the Ambergate, Matlock, and Buxton line, between Ambergate and Rowley, this coin pany finding the whole of the plant, on terms which the directors think equitable. The North Staffordshire Company are in treaty with the directors for the use of the Midland stations at Derhy and Burton.upon-Trent. The railway commissioners have sanctioned the running of this com pany's trains over the S iuth Yorkshire Railway be tween Swinton and Doncaster. An agreement hoe been entered into with the North IVestera Company, for the use of the Midland station at Skipton, The directors have greet plumee in informing the pro prietors that, alter mature consideration, a traffic arrange ment has been en.ered into between the Midland and the Landon and North-Western Cum; anise, which will be mu tually advantageous, by giving the two companies a one moony of interest. The report of the Committee of Investi gation having been received and adopted at the late special general meeting, the director' deem it necessary to refer to it on one or two points. Tony have to remind the proprietors that the Leeds and Bradford Lease, which has giv, n rile to much discussion, was the unenimose act of the whole board. approved and adopted by the shareholders. The opinion of your directors that it was a measure of round policy to ac quire possession of this line remains unchanged, and though the terms are no doubt too high, yet looking at the circum stances c f the time, and considering that the position of ell the parties to the bargain was well known, and that a better arrangement could not then he made, the board do not think blame can be feir!y imput,d to any individual Your directors have anticipated the ri commendation of the committee, by hiking more stringent measures for enforcing the payment of of calls. The amount at present in arrow. is 278,0321. 10t As to a more ifficient system of audit, any measure calculated to give increased security to sharer older'', short of government interference, will have the support of the board. It is intended that depute' ions from 'he different railway companits shall meet in the autumn, for the purpose of agreeing on some satis'actory plan. The proprietors have the power under the act of parliament to increase the number of dirteon to 20 ; there are now 16. As the committee of investigation make various euggestione, in reference to the direction, the board leave it with the shartholders to deal with them as they think proper. The suggestion of the committee of investigation, teat the ma nagement in future should be conducted by the division of the board into sub-committees, has the entire approval of the directors. They propose to divide theca/eters into commit tees for trent, locomotion, permanent way and works, and finance. The directors recommend the proprietors to con firm the forfeiture of 32 601. shares, upon which there are arrears of calls amounting to 8961. ; these shares have ben sold, but the purchasers have neglected to register the trans n, end the present proprietors, who are responsible, have agreed to pay the arrears on the shares being forfeited and r.-allotted to them.
