During the last six months, our endeevou has been to keep the works in repair at the least posaPole expens,, and to due, at far as possible, all q unions of accounts with con tractors and others. Some few works, sock as the comple tion or restoration of public roads, which had been inter. Ned with, hava been completed. Upon the whole, the emits of the railway have suffered less than might have hien expoeted. The work required upon the length from Abbot's Wood to Wormier, a dimness of four miles, in annegnesee of the arrangement with the Midland Railway Oempaey, is in a forward state. The ermanent way is bag latit, and the temporary station i s in the mese of inmeniction ; and the whole will, I have no doubt, be ready Mehra the middle or and of next mouth.

He was glad that the secretary wee to be placed in a mere advantageous posi tion. Re did net eve what possible good could am from taxing the emieiter's bill. He had every tionfidanse in the line. (Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN said, in reply to a question, that they hoped to be able, in • short time, to open between 30 and 50 miles of the northern portion of the Nue, and it was probable, when the shareholders obtained such a rental as would oe a guarantee to them for the money advanced, that the board of directors would call them together, and would not hesitate to ask for such aid and assistance as would be required to bring the line into active operation. (Hear ) Ur. BRUNEL said that the permanent line between Worcester and Stoke had been finished a long time ma tar as he was ooaeerned, bat the directors did not put it into work lag order, bemuse they did not Me their way to make a profit oat of it. They would not, of come, start engines and work a line which depended on another railway for the traMe upon it. (Hear.) With regard to the estimates, he was obliged to the gentleman for starting the vitiation, as it afforded him an opportunity of explaining the leen It was true that the Hrst estimate was 1,500,0001., but during the preplan of tie bill through nutmeat the position of ' Mega was changed, for they were compelled to make side lines and branches, and to do other things, not originally contemplated. The revised estimate conseqaeht nom these Magee was 2,257,0001. To this some other items with reference to interest bad been added. He did not say that they were wrong or incorrect, but they were not estimates of his. His estimate was 2,267,0002 ; and notwithstanding all the dittieshies they bad to Goateed with, the long perisod over which the works extended, and the expense of sewn teadence, he resorted positively that the astand sees for works and engineering would not 'need by 10 per oast. the esti : mats of February, 1846. (Cheer.) It was tree that they had paid for land two a three times as much as they ought to have paid, but they were by no means fleeted to the same Mont as others. (Laughter.)

THE DISPUTE WITH THE LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN COMPANY. The half-yearly meeting of the shareholder"' in the Shrews ' bury and Chester Railway ems held en Thursday, at Chester. The chair was occupied by Mr. W. Wardell, chairman of the board of directors. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, referred to the bill belore parliament last lesion to enable the Landes sad North Western Company to leaps the Chester sad Holyhead Hallway. Now, the Chester w ith y line wee sack an important line, as connected the different lines terminating at Chester, that it ought to be equally open to all, and they had therefore opposed the bill. Had the Chester road Holyhead line been lowed to the Load= and North Western Company, that Co mpany would have bad such a power over it as absolutely and virtually to ekes it to all ether companies. (Hear, hear.) He would, noway a tee words as to the dispute with the London end North Welters Compeny as to the traffic between Shrewibury cad Birmingham. It had !been said that the Shrewsbury and Chester Company were pugilists, bat the truth wm, that every step that had been taken in parliament by them had been as the defensive, and every overture had come from them, whilst not one overture had come from the Load= and North Western Company. Smile time ago, the directors of the Shrewsbury and Chafer Company sought en interview with the directors el the London and North WOWS Company, which was granted, and this interview took pleas in Loudon; but nothing cams of it, bemuse the London and North. Western Company . stated the Ingrain made between the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company was a eas-aided ass as regarded the North- Western Company, and that they would oppose it in every seen ofjesties. The Shrewsbury sad Birmingham Company, en the other hand, said the agreement was binding, and they would stead by it. After this the Shrewsbury and Chaster Company proposed that all differeaess between the London and North-Western Company and the Shrewsbury and Birmieghaes Company should be left to arbitration, when the swim from the Northlffestern Compea n w: that prossedinza were pending in marts of jades the we sompaaies, which mut be Amide& belealheAria doa sad North Western Company snip[ be purred to make any arrangement.

The only works which have been la prunes daring the lest half-year on the Hu *pool Extandsa, are thus upon the Term un met, the heaviest work on which, namely, the viaduct awns the Toss, at Term, is now ansplusit. But the direotows have set felt themselves at liberty to proceed with OM letting of the remitting sontraws, until a sufficient num ber of the new filth shares authorised by the act of 1849 have been taken by the shareholders. Those shares were duly tweeted by the company's resolutiens of 7th October lest, ' and were immediately afterwards allotted to the proprietors is the primaries§ to which they were entitled to them. In ' consequence, however, of those shares having only bun taken up to en issonsidinablei extent, it has been thought De anery to isms en address with centrist's of the con of coin pi-ting the whole undone:king, making an appeal to the shareholders to subscribe for their proporticns of the new fifth shares, so as to enable the railway to be finished in the manner therein proposed. The directors in the eddy's referred to laid before the shareholders all the informal.% bow log oa the subject in their possession. In order to verify the estimates of the company's engineer as to the son of crautructing those portions of the line yet remaining to be let, they have obtained actual tenders from several respecta ble ocintractoes and they are now enabled to Mats that the whole el the extension works, refereed to in the esti mates attached to the sadness, may b. completed, according t• those tenders within the amount so militated. In the 'salute of the tender, of the company up to the proposed completion ot ths line, :he directors have endeavoured to avoid all exaggeration, and have band their estimates of the receipts u much as possible on the facts already in their possession. The directors would, however, nuke , the shareholders that every day's delay theresass the mown of 1 is sustained by the company in cousquenee of the non-com p 1.5 of the railway; and that in the event of the share. s not suberioiog capital to the extent now required,their calculations as to the future will be entirely disarranged. The number of preference fifth shares that have been COn• &duall subs:abed for since the Wu of the directors' od dities la July last now amounts to 6,822, representing a share espial of 58,2201 • but as this amount is insufficient, and as se allotment of thrati shares can be made until such further amount hu been taken up m will justify the directors in proceeding with the ran iks n the manner described in their address, they can now only repeat their earnest appeal to the skarehilden to send in forthwith their applications for the proportion of fifth shares to which they are entitled, belie,- tag this to be the only mods of bringing the line into pro liable use, and of rendering remunerative the capital already invested in the undertaking. The dinettes are 'mourned by the result of the solicitor's recent conferences with the shareholders in the pri nips' towns, resolution , - having boon adopted by them almost unaLimooaly, conoundisg that the extension line be completed without delay, in the manner proposed ; and they accordingly mast yet to receive such an amount of applications Ihe elleaments of th• fifth shares as will enable them 'to poommi forthwith to let the remaining works, sad easesosse the cams to the shareholden. Active measures have been taken by the company's solicitors to collect the outstanding anus of calls on the 601. shares, sad since last half-,early meeting 9,2261 its. 2d. has been collected. From the auserou urgent claims upon the company from the contractors, landowners, and others, which the directors have found it necessary to meet the pay ment of the last instalment of interest on the Hartlepool extension charm has been postponed is conformity with the shareholders' resolution of 28th February last, there being no funds in hand for this purpose. The following is a return rat the company's working stock up to the 30th of June last: Fast-class carriages 20, to deliver 1, total 21; second-clan and composite carriages, 36 ; third-class carriages, 20 ; goods cerrisgel and timber truths, 109; gads Taos and cattle wag gon and break warless 164, to deliver 3. total 167 ; coal and coke waggons 529. to deliver 59, total 588 ; locomotives 26, to deliver 3, total 28." The statement of amounts will be found in the Ezpreu of August 29. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, made varlets explanations with regard to items of the aeeoaais.—Mr. T. Gorr ',eroded the resolution.—Several gentlemen complained of items in the accounts and bed inanagemeat on the part of the directors. A long discussion ensued, in the course of which Mr. POWELL said the subjects for consideration by the meeting might be comprised under three beads—first, was there that fair and reasonable prospect of increased traffic which would warrant the company in railing capital to couplets the extension to Hartlepeol ? Secondly, how was the mousy to be raised ? and, thirdly, was the conduct of the direction and meaurement such as to develops Mho ut most amount of available traffic ? Mr. Powell then pro ceoded at considerable nark to detail his estimate of the in errand traffic likely to arise from °peeing out the Hartlepotil It:tendon, and the data upon which he founded this esti mate. The result at which he arrived was, that from the various sources he enumerated there would accrue to this sompany an increased traffic of 35,0001. per week, or considerably more than 1,0001. weekly in excess of the estimates of the dealing, by the opening of the line to Hartlepool. Now Hartlepool was geographically the nearest port to Leeds, sad it posssmed the additional advantage of being to des north of this great borough ; so that, with the traffic tally developed, the York, Newcastle, and Berwick would sou be flogged into good behaviour towards this company. (Hear, hear.) But before the innate he had estimated read be realised, this company had a gnat battle to fight; sad it required a manager at its head who would combine the fortitdr and the unioiter in an eminent degree to develop all the traffic sad to keep all parties in good humour. (Hear, bear.) After the report bad been adopted, us would move the appointment of a casamithee—not an adverse one, for he considered adverse committees injurious—to inquire whether the traffic wss hilly developed, and also whether they unused the best pessihts mode of management. (Hoar, hear.) The CHAIRMAN, after replying to some gentians from another shareholder, moved the adoption of the a port,which WIN carried unani mously ; sad a resolution ordering the payment of dividend ca the preference shares was also agreed 91 - 00101111131 of IWQMRT. Mr. WARD (Hull PrePood That, inasmuch as general dissatishation seems to eSis t amongst the shareholden as to the prawn mods of manage ment, the directors be respectfully requested to take the matter into their iniaadrats and serious ormaidnation, with the view of effecting a beneficial change, either by appoint ing a more efficient and energetic onaager, or in any other wai:hat shall appear to them met szpodaut." said that the matter bad been se thoroughly dia. Wind alreadypport that he did not think it worth while saying a ward in su of his 'notion. Mr. POWELL said he had raggepted a committee, it tom true, but not a committee of investigation, which mht never to be appointed smut where the share holden could not trust to ths honesty of the directors. His opiniaa was, that a committee should be appointed to as the directors in making Metairie' into those subjects upon which dissatisfaction had been expressed. Without. however, stating that he differed from the resolution moved by Sir.

The report, as abstract of which has already lams pub lished in this journal, having bees circulated stamp( the proprietors for some days !trier to the nseetlag, was by ge neral consent held to itarn bets mad. The CHAIB.MAN, in aoni its adoption, arid that in their published statements the dueetae had gone so fully MO detail that ft would be hardly summary for ham to audio any observations beyond those whisk Aught be eltaird by in quiries psi to him by the shareholders. All bad been of tate improving ; And there was every probahility that most if not all, would sontines to improve. The shareholders would see with pliancy the improvement in suet meows during the prseest bait-year, ea compared with that of the corresponding half of the previous year. Be felt wand they would see a pragmatic, ismer. in the past year quite equivalent to that whisk had takes place daring the year tiat had passed. - - Mr. MUSILETT said be wished, before the report wee adopted, to say a word or two on the subject of a report which had been presented by Mr. Brae, tho company's engineer. That gentleman proposed M lay out 18,0001. in the Trowel, brach, near Norwich, con um:Wm the Eastern Union line with the Etsiern Counties herfolk line at Norwich. As the shareholders at present reeeived no Interest, and as there was a large debt due for land not paid for, he objected to that amount of money being paid for such works. Then, again, Mr. Bruff tn. poled in curring other expenses, which, however, he said would be trivial, by the removal of the Ipsw:oh station. With. re ferent* to the emend meeting of August 2, be (Mr. eduskett) wall unable to be present at the meeting, but he bad ascertained from the newspaper report the- the loan 'Meted at 10 per cent. was the act of the sharebelders. He begged to deny that moat distinctly—it was a miirepreeenta tme, far it wee the sot of tee directors and not of the shareholders. At the tete' g lei twelve months since it was proposed that money should be raised at 7 per ant., and it was afterwards prooosed end seconded that 8 per cent. should be given. sera Field, an auditor, proposed that 10 per cent. should be given, and eventually is was left in the bands of the diractine to effect the loan at any rate ktween 7 and 10 per cent. Toe 10 per cent. was, therefore, the choice of the directors. Tnen, with reference to the !Stour Valley locoman, there were some points on which he wanted informati.n. Mr. HAWKINS, a director, reminded Mr. Mmkett that the amounts he referred to were limply matters k teem the Stour Valley Company and their contra-ens., and over which at present the Eastern Union Company bad no control whatever. The CHAIRMAN said, with reference to the 10 per Cent. stock of which Mr. fluekett had spoken, he might mate that the directors recommended that there ahnuld not be so large an amount of interest. On. of the auditors recommended 10 per Gent , sod the feeling of the meeting was so strong in favour of that preposition, that the directors did not feel justified in making any terms in opposition to the views so unequivocally expressed by the shareholder,. Toe report was then submitted to the meeting, and carried, only one hand, that of Mr. Distil/en, being held up against it. The retiring directors were re-elected, the board for the next halt-year being composed of the following/ members : Mr. J. C. Cobbold, M.P., chairman; Mr. S. Bignold. deputy-chairman ; Mr. F. Pratt-Barlow, of IL kington ; Major Bari M.P., cf London ; Mr. E S Cayli.y, Id P., of Yorkshire ; Mr. J. Cobbold, ol Inewieb ; Mr. I'V. Crake, of London ; Mr. J. Graviton', of Yotk ; Mr. J. G. Hart, of S owenatket ; Mr. W. W. Hawkins. of Combesti r ; Mr. R. Williamson, of tkarbormigh ; and Mr. J Wright, of Norwich. A eke of thanks to the chairman and directors closed the proceedings. NORFOLK. The tumid half-yearly meeting of the Norfolk Railway Company was held on Thursday in the Gaildkall buiidings. Mr. C. W. TYNDALE. chairman of the company, presided. Teen were about 20 shareholders prevent. The report of the directors was read, as follows . "The dividend declared by the Eastern Conntit , Railway Company for the past half year, being at the rate of 2s. opoa each share or 201., the Norfolk Railway C mousy are entitled to receive and divide at the like rate 10s. tor every 1001. ooaeolidated stock, which w ill be payable on mid after 9th September. The =averment and accounts of the traffic of the Norfolk Railways being now in the bands of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, your directors must refer to the statement of that company, of which a copy has been trans mitted to the proprietors. This statement dines an unta vourable result of the trade of the Norfolk Beltways for the last half year, which is attributed to the connection and opening of the Eastern 'Gunn Company's line to Norwich, but the present, and, it is trusted, temporary (lepton= of agricultural interests has, in the belief of your directors, ma ' terially contributed to the falling off. On the other nand, the expenditure set down in the statement as against the Norfolk Company your directors believe to be calculated on erroneous data. It may be observed that a charge of no less than 75 per cent. u made for the working expenses of the Norfolk Railways, which ere capable of being worked at a smeller cost than many other lines ow which a far less proportionate expense is incurred. Tee number of directors having become re duced to six, the election of two new directed, is se qufred to make up the number limited by the company's ac's. Your directors, as on the last occasion, forbear to Mk gag any names to he proposed at the meeting. This half-yearly Misetiag has been made special for the purpose of enabling the directors to complete a settlement of the outstanding claims of the shareholders in the Wavenry Valley and Great Yarmouth Railway Company. An attempt, as the proprie tors are aware, was made to enforce the repaymeat or the entire deposits of these shareholders in respect of the Dias and Reedham breath, and this your direeton ,weeesfully resisted in a court of law. They are now, it is trusted, in a position, if sanctioned by the proprietor, to adjust all out etanding claims on this account on nameable and « quitable terms. These claims, with a few others on a contractor's and land purchase account, which are in a train of settle ment, comprise all the outstanding liabilities of the Norfolk Company in respect of their railway and branches ; and your digesters so far consider the capital account of the company as Mooed, and no further expenditure will be incurred by them without the proprietors being consulted." The auditors' report having been read, it was proposed that a special report, made by Major Court as one of the auditors, should be read, when The CHAIRMAN remarked that the epeeist report in question had nothing to do with the last year's accounts, but was a statement with respect to the affairs of the company generally. It was calculated to de immense mischief to the company, and had already done so. It was lull of errors, tali-statements, and felse deductions. If it were the pleasure of the meeting he would nand it to Major Court that it might be read. Major COURT claimed to have the report read as a matter of right. There was hardly a word of it which directly or indirectly was not connected with the accounts litho lmt year. Every half-year's report on the &CCOIIIO3 wee connected with that which preceded it. ' Mr. KILLS explained that the directors did not wish the shareholders to be deprived of any advantage they might derive from the special report ; but the pround on which the chairman objected, was that the directors wished that the report should not be supposed to be read by the secretary with the approbation and concurrence of the directors. The special report was then read by Major Court. Mr. WELLS suggested that the special report should be printed said the meeting adjourned. It was impossible to Leander at the present meeting a paper filled with sompli sated statements of figures. Thee indebted to Major Court for making inquiry ; bat th result he anticipated, was that the accounts of Major Court and of the directors would be found to agree. Major COURT thought it impossible to arrive at that eratelusion. After a lone discussion as to the order of business, The CHAIRMAN moved that the report of the directors be received and adopted. Mr. LAWRENCE wished to submit a few observations with respect to the inexpediency of further publishing the special report without an authoritative contradiction of the statements it contained. Mr. WELLS moved in terms of his suggestion that the special report be printed; and, Another discussion having arisen on the order of business, The antesdrseat of Mr. Wells on the motion for the app roval of the report was then put to terms to the follow. lag effect : " That so much of the directors' report as relates to the payment of dividend be received ; that the report of Major Court be printed end circulated, with any remarks the directors may think proper ; and that the further consideration of the directors' report be postponed to such day as the directors may think convenient for the purpose of taking the subject into consideration." Oa a show of hands, the amendment was caned by a large majority. Seven or eight hands were held up sgainst it. Kr. PETO entered into some explanatiors with respect to the premet rondos of the company. The amount of receipts during the last half-year could not be taken at all as a co teries for future half-years. At the commencement of the year there was an unpreced ented flood, which hid the coun try ender water re:11TO weeks. Then was scarcely any teethe then In the lower •districts. The walls had been raised ten feet, so that the railway could not be plan d in the same jeopardy again- Then there was the competition with the Bastera Unica. The opinion of the directors was mi asma with respect to the advantage width would reeult from an interchange of traffic when the line of junction was einaphited between the two railways. The enrage would be only 16,9001.
