NMI% MOM dWaiado GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. The following is the report of the direetOre to the general meeting of the proprietors, to be hell on the 26th August : The accounts for the first half year ending June 30, 1866, with explanatory statements, are h appended. the charge upon capitol account has increased in the course of the lest half year by 201,6811. 171. 6d., making the whole @spite' expended amount to 10,906,7171.6 e. 3d. The re venue statement shows that the grew earnings of the last half year amounted to 608,7661. 4s. 11d.; for the half year ending Jane, 1664, they wire 469,9431. Os. 101. ; the in crease being 38.8131. 4s. Id. The gross expediters has been 277,8031.75. 7d. ; for the half year ending Jane, 186 i, it was 243,3371. 7s. lid.; increase, 34.4661. 19e. Bd. The net aseernot shows that the balance of the revenue account is 230,9621. 17s. 4d. ; on the 30th June, 1864, it was 226,6061. 12s. lid.; increase, 4,3471. 4s. 64. But, in addition to the mortgage .debt of 205,7641., together with a higher average rate of interest upon toe whole debt, having increased tie charge for internal Melee* by 7,7771 Is., the sum available fur general die's. deed, which, for the half year ended June, 1854, was 133,9431. 2i. ltd., is now only 132,7611. 18s. 84. For the hail-year ended June. 1864, dividend to the amount of 64,6281. 16s. was declared on the several classes of preference stocks; but now, in addition, the sum of 9,3861. Os. 10d. is required to meet the dividend accrued to the 30th June, 1856, vex.:-upon a further registration, in th e interval, of the 41 per cent. preference stock, 6481 4e. 11d., and upon the 6 per cent. preference stock, issued in December, lOU, 8,8361. 15s. lid., whereby the dividend upon all the prefer ence stocks to be deducted from the above-minuted 132,7611. 18s. 84. is increased from 68,6281. 161. to 78,0134. 16s. 10d., leaving for dividend upon the open stock, 64,7481. Is. 101. Thus the net sum available for dividend upon the open stock, which for the half-year to 30th June, 1854, was 67,3141.6 a. Ild , is on the present occasion, 30th June,lBss, 54,7481. ls. 10d. ; being less than in 1854 by 12,5661. 6e. Id., which is equal to about per cent. for the hall-year upon the 4,808,4371. 10s. of open stock. The net balance or 61,7481. It 101. enables the directors to recommend a dividend of 21 per cent. per annum, being 11.25. 64. per cent. for the hall-yea upon the original stock, and 21. ss. percent. upon the B stock; leaving 6531. 33. 4,1. to be carried to the next account. The pro posed dividend will probably cause some disappointment, but a combination of circumstances common to all the rail ways in the kingdom has alone produced this result; for the receipts from the general traffic on the Great Northern Railsay have continued to increase in a very satisfactory manner. And as far as the directors can judge, the pro perty is in a perfectly sound and healthy position. The chief item of the increased working expenses has occurred in the department of the locomotive engineer, as explained in his report, appended hereto-vie.: 114,940 additional train miles, 4,8081. 6s. 54. ; increase in price of coke, 7,0031. 17e. 5d.; increased cost of repairs of roll-1 leg stock, 3,3961. Os. 41.; total, 15,2081. 41. 24. 1 The remainder of the increase in the working capture, 19,2671. 15s. 64., is made up of items in the several payments shown by Account No. 2. A u ex t ra ex p ense i n the half year is • sum of about 5,0001. for damages and costs awarded to Mr. Hall, the Recorder of Doncaster, who was seriously injured at Leeds station in January last. In thisi carn, as in all others, the directors endeavoured to come to' an amicable settlement of the amount of compensation ; but as the sum demanded was so very large, they considered it their duty to the proprietors to abide the verdict of ajury. This 6,000/. causes • diminution of the dividend of nearly per cert. for the half year. Parliament has passed an act by which the Great Northern Railway Company is empow ered to raise one million of capital, with the usual borrowing powers, as authorised by the g 1 meeting in August, 1854 ; and in order to enable the directors to avail them selves of any favourable state of the money market, for raising money on better terms than by the issue of the un allotted 14,000 of the last 6 per cent. preference shares, or making further calls on thou issued, a resolution will be proposed to the meeting to authorise the exercise of the borrowing powers given by the said act. It was stated in a circular issued in March last, that the chairman had considered it his duty to withdraw from par liament the bill proposing to endow and build a church at Doncaster for the benefit of the company's workpeople and their children. Each member of parliament who spoke against the bill acknowledged that the object was most desir able and praiseworthy, but they objected to the principle of taxing unwilling proprietors. A proposal was therefore made that such proprietors as thought proper might sub scribe to a fund for the above object, and the directors have now to announce that promises of subscription up to this tame have been received amounting to about 6,0001. ; but, as was stated upon a former occasion, 6,0001. being required! to enure en endowment of 2001. per annum, and 6,0001. more for building a church, it is quite clear that, without greater li!terality on the part of the proprietors, this most valuable object must, for the present, be suspended. Toe schools, however, as will be seen by the report of the Rev. J. Campion, proceed in • satisfactory man- Der. This will afford some relief to the minds of those who feel it their duty to promote a religious and moral education for the children of mechanics and labourers in their service. MIDLAND RAILWAY. The report of the directors of this company states that the traffie of the railway during the past half-year shows an increase of 17,4261. over that of the correspond ing half-year of 1864; and, although the increase is less than the directors have heretofore had the gratification of reporting, yet, when consideration is given to the feet that great prostration has prevailed in trade throughout the en tire half-year, and that the last winter was very severe and protracted, both circumstances operating against railway waffle, they hope the receipts will be deemed satisfactory. The total receipts for the half-year amount to 760,1601, in cluding the balance from the previous half year's accounts, and the total expenses, interest, end guaranteed dividends, to 642,1361., leaving available fur dividend the sum of 2( . 8,0231.; and the directors recommend that a dividend ( . less income tax) be declared, payable on the let day tf September next, of 11. 16s. upon each 1001. consolidated stook, being at the rate of 31 per cent- per annum. The working sap , calculated as camel, have been 441. Os. 3d. per cent. as against 43/. 13s. 81. per cent. for the corresponding half year of 1851. It is a source of name to the directors that the expenses of the balf-year have so largely increased, and that they are unable t• recommend • higher dividend than at the eerie eponding period of last year. A comparison of the cor responding half-years of 1854 and 1855 will show that the principal excess is due to the increased amount of the debenture debt, and to the higher rats of interest on the same, to the increased cost of minerals, for the repair and renewal of engines and rolling stock, and to the larger expenditure in labour in the locomotive department, ones slowed by the conversion of the broad into narrow gauge stock for the working of the Bristol and Gloucester line. Mr. Barlow, the engineer, reports that 61 miles 62 chains of single line have been re-laid and fi-h.joined, and 34 miles 76 chains fislzjointed, during the half-year, and that these operations have effected a manifest improvement in the condition of the railway; also, that extensive sidings for sort. ing of coal on the Eyewash Valley, and similar sidings tor ar ranging empty waggons at Rugby, are in course of construe lion, and that these works, when finished, will economise engine power, and will greatly facilitate the working of the SIPS& The Ripley branch is now ready to receive the traffic of nearly all the collieries upon it, and the trial,- will be commenced as soon as the coal-owners have completed their arrangements. The cortrectors are in possession of almost all the land necessary for the completion of the works on the Leicester and Ritchie Railway, and there is every reason to believe that the line will be ready for opening by the time stipulated with them, via., the Ist of October, 1856. Mr Kirticy, the locomotive superintendent, reports that during the six months ending Jane last the repairs and renewals of the rolling stock Dave been sufficient not only to maintain Its good working condition, but to increase its effi- Money. MARKETS. SUGAR.—The ge price of sugar, the produce of the British possessions in America, computed from the returns made in the week ending the 14th day of August, 1865, is 225. 111 d. per cwt. No return of brown or Muscovado sugar, the produce of the Mauritius, has been made in the week ending as above. The g price of brown or Mum coved° sugar, the produce of the Bast Indies, in the week ending as above, and exclusive of duty, is 28s. lota. The average prim of the two foregoing descriptions of sugar, jointly, is 235. 2jd. SIIOAR.—BnIexoL, At/ova 17.—The market un thups animated, and prices have still an upward tendency. The offices have been daily cleared of every fresh lot of West India brought forward, in which description the sales retch searly 1,000 hbds., in addi tion to which 6,000 mats of Mauritius and 4,000 boxes of ha have alai found buyers, the two latter being for arrivaL A mush larger ►usiness could have !mondani' had importers been diapPeed to realise. The refined market is far from active, and tut manufacturers fled it impoesible to obtain any advance for their goods. The rum market is quiet, but prices are firm. TALLOW.—The market has declined this week, notwith standing the large demand on the spot and the extensive deliveries from the warehouses. The decline appears to us to be the effect of forced sales on the spot by parties who're &lived tallow on contracts early in the month, and which has been pressed for sale to meet the prompts. The only new. received this week bearing on the value of tallow is from South America. It had been thowht that thence we should receive an average quantity this mason ; It appears, however, that (to quote the Bekaa Packet, Buenos Ayres, June 30) " the Saladeros have been doing comparatively nothing. We cannot expect any considerable supplies for he next three or four months." It seems, therefore, that the expectations heretofore formed of the supply from South America are likely to be disappointed. Ws have no advice. from St. Petersburg to-day. The letters received yesterday quote IlO t i paid for Y.C. on the spot, and carriage l 100 cop:ks.
