LONDON AHD SOUTH WESTERN RAILWAY. (THIS DAY.) ---..-- The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors Was held at noon, at Waterloo-statioa ; Captain MANG Les bathe chair. The report, which had been previously published, having been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN, in mosisig its adoption, commerseed by referring to the increase of capital. The Moreno In the half-year amounted, he remarked, to 284,0001., now. of which was for new engines. bridges, culverts, &a. As regarded the loan of 100,000/. during the half-year at Si per cent., he said it wee borrowed when the Bank rata lof discount waif. or 7 per cent. Since the transaction ea coned the name loan had been renewed at 4 per cent. The dlreeton, he could Amore the meeting, paid very close atteataon to financial questions; but they could not always avoid a loan falling due when money was dear. (Heard They borrowed as fur as possible when money was cheap. In considering the increased expenditure the proprietors should not forget the opening of the Exeter line, which materially affected the comparison between 15110 and 19011. The company had before it ex cellent prospects in connexion with the Exhibition, and might look forward to a profitable return. If the increase of 1,000/. per week continued there would be ample miens of keeping the permanent way in good condition, and at the same time providing adequately for the payment of dividends. The completion of the narrew chair. properly occupied an important place io the report. traffic between North Devon and London would thus be secured to the company. Comparing the cost of fuel with the mileage, there had. it appeared, been a saving during the half-year of 2,2561. Among the new bills was one taking power to raise 500,000 e. for steam and other purposes at Nine Elms, and another taking power to raise 750,11001. for the extension of the South- Western line into Somenetshire. The directors were unanimously of opinion that it was desirable for the company to obtain possession of the Andover and Red bridge line, and that would surely not have been the awe unless the grounds of their decision were satisfactory. They regretted the misuodeertanding with the Great Western Company, but they could not allow an other company to come to Southampton. and take from them their own traffic. (Hear, bear.) The noble lord who presided at the Great Western meeting on the previous day disclaimed having made what had been termed a declaration of war. As between nations, an invaaion of territory was a declaration of war--1A voice, "It is war "I —sod the same priscipleied in the case of an invades of railway territory. (Hear.) Lord Shelburne said the company he represented wee only carrying out the object. of parliament. How could that be when two committees gave decision. adverse to the Great Western project? The London and Mouth Western board had throughout acted in the most pacific spirit, and the course they had recently pursued was abso lutely necessary for the protection of the interests of the proprietors. The Great Western board had indeed offered to submit the whole question to arbitration ; but, however well that word might generally sound, he believed that In this awe the offer was a sham. (Hear, Mani If the South Western Company was to be robbed of its own traffic, it mast seek traffic elsewhere. (Cheers.) Coast Ens seconded the motion. HKIA?ATH considered the chairman's explanation satisfactory. After some discussion the report was adopted. GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.-(THIS DA Y.) The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of the Greet Northern Railway was held this forenoon at the King's-cross terminus ; Mr. BLCIZTT DIXIOOIC presided. The customary notice having been read, it was that the report, which has already appeared, short! takeo as read. The CHAIRMAN said he would first refer to the capital so. coast. He believed that the proprietor ought to watch it slowly. The outlay on this amount during the last dx months had been 129,5841. 10e. The principal amount of this was M,3611. on account of the company's subscription to the Denton and Liverpool line. He would next inform them that the 49,000 new irredeemable preference shares of fit each, representing 245,000/. out of the 360,0001. autho rised to be raised in August last, 'had been issued. The whole bad been dulytaken up and the first twocalla bad bees duly paid. During the half year 65,7201. bad been received on account of the company's 4 per net perpetual deben. tare stock in substitution of mortgagee,. That showed the confidence of the public in their lien. The events, interest an the morfpge debt including debenture stock was H. la 114. per teed. 1 e would now come to the revenue account. The grass receipts of 1861 had been 768,6841. 6 e. 4d., as compared with 709,143/. in 1860. The increase, therefore, was 50,5011. ss. 19d. That bad been earned, as they would see, by an increased espertlitere which only amounted t01,3W. 18e. 3d. The total net revenue of 1861 was 4011,427/. against 364,1511. Ba. sd. in 1860. The net itiefellie on that head. therefore, was 53,•274:4. Is. 41. There had been an increase el fixed charges to the amount of 4,840/. 19e. 9d. ; but this amount included the sum of 17,4284, which had been paid as rant to the Nottingham Company. The net increase available for dividend wee 52,4351. is. Pd. Altogether be thought that was a satiefectory result. The net balance would enable the board to pay on the original stock at the rate of 7/. 15a. per cent. per annum. and on the B stock at the rata of three per cent. for the half-ye tr. On the A stock they would p,y at the rate of it 15e. per cent. for the half year. He hoped his friend Mr. Valeutioe Knight was present. That goutleman was in the habit of making complaints for the holders of the A stock, but he thought they would not hang themselves on sccount of the present results. After some further re marks he concludel by moving the adoption of the report. Colonel PAOLI, M.P., seconded the motion. After some observations from Mr. Knight, Mr. Howard, and Mr. Hughes, the Chairman said a few words in reply. The report wee, after some further conversation, adopted. The dividend was thee declared, and the meeting terminated with a vote at thanks to the chairman. METROPOLITAN RAILWAY COMPANY. The following report of the directors of the above company will be promoted to the half-yearly meeting, to be held at the London Tavern on Wednesday next :—" The engineer's report shows that satisfactory progress has ma tinued •to be made in the works of the railway. During the pest half year, the locomotive engine, coutructed according to • design of Mr. Fowler, your engineer, expressly for the wockingl of this railway, ham been delivered, and tested and found to be a success • the line was entirely free from smoke or steam when th e engine was at work ; bulged, the possibility of running loco motive engines which would condense their own steam and not emit any of the products of combustion when in the tunnel was so apparent, that the Great Western and West Midland Railway Companies intimated their readiness to contract for the working of your railway with such engines, sod the terms for a very satisfactory arrangement for that purpose have accordingly been concluded with those com mutes. Ac there might ho some doubt whether the coo tracting parties have the power to enter into such an engage meat, express parliamentary sanction is sought for by a bill which your directors are now promoting. This bill will be laid before the shareholders for approval in due course, and the directors therefore postpone until that occa sion the details of the amassment. In the same bill powers are inserted for the purchase of pro perty which your directors and those of the Great Western Company think necessary for the more convenient working of the proposed Smithfield station. Since the hurt meeting of the company the rate of interest has been much reduced, and as the completion of the un dertaking to larringdon.street is et hand, and the oorpo ration of London are now perfecting their measures for the carrying out of the new markets in Smithfield, the direc tors think the time boo arrived when mesas for raising the capital for the construction of the Fioshury Extension should be devised, and they hope shortly to lay before the share holders • satiafactory scheme for that purpose. Your di rectors oSeerve with satiefaction that the Great Northern Railway Company have commenced the construction of the hotel curve at King's-sross, and that they expect it to be completed by the time of the opening of your line. Your di rectors have, therefore. take* the requisite measures for forming the Eastern Junction line from Maiden-lane to your King's.cross station. The whole of the ghee* capital of the company being now , calleil up, the directress recom mend that therms be converted iota stock, and • resolu tion for th 4 purpose will be offered to the proprietors at the meeting.

It was supposed that the pumps were very much damaged, but this is not the =as, as only some few are injured.

About 35,0001. in gold, chiefly foreign coin, was withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for ex portation.

The Trust and Agency Company of Australasia, a very respectable association, announce that they are now prepared to receive loans on debentures for investment on mortgage in Australia and New Zealand. This company's bonds are the first charge upon the undertaking, including the guarantee of all the property mortgaged to it. It is also provided that there shall be at all times uncalled share capi tal available for the liquidation of the full amount borrowed. It would appear that with good manage ment a considerable and legitimate profit may be veined by taking advantage of the high rates of interest current in the colony.
