LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE. Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of this com pany was held attire Exchange, Manchester. It was also a meeting to be made special for the purpose of contidnins the arrangements entered into with the Bolton, Blackburn, Clitheroe, and West Yorkshire Company, for working and taking the rolling stock of thst line. Also to 'lnborn the draft of a bill before parliament to enlarge the compiny'v powers; to authorise the company to make new arrange ments with the holders of Extension, West R;dinv, and Fifths Stock. Aod also to convert into consolidated capital, all pald.up shares in the company. A notice of the report was (Oven in Tuesday's Express. The auditon in their report - say : - "As new lines come into operation a very consideral lv outlay is ust necessarily take place, for the accommodation of the traffic at the various stations. We are, however, of opi nion that your directors are inclined to go too far in this respect, especially as regards warehouses, which we would restrict to what is absolutely requisite, not for the storage, but for the mere transit, et geode. We think that, leeking at our continually reduced dividend end increasing capital,some potting, at least, of this outlay might prudently have been deferred, if nut altogether avoided. In reference to the ultimate clang of cur capital recount, when works in pro. geese are finished, we are of opinion that this can and ought to be done. The chief obstacle arias* horn what are salted ' improvements,' each as heavier rails, larger engines, etc. Those, so far as they are presumed to be fin. provemente, have hitherto been paid for out of capital ; we would propose, in future, to pay for them as they arise out rf revenue. We look upon dividend as the only test of the money value of your property, and w. object to charging any alterations, even though they shock be mechanical improvements, to capital. It is evident that unless this print pole be adopted your capital account can be now?. In course of time, cireamatances may change so as to render some addition to the rolling stock or works of the company absolutely necessary. When this occurs it may be dealt with by a mite of the shareholders for a specific sum of money. nr e now beg leave to address a few words to you, not efficially, but in our capacity of fellow shareholders, on a subject of the greatest import ance—namely, by whom ought our affairs to be ma ' aimed ? We ore of opinion that your object should be to secure continuous and individual responsibility in your management. We think that, however necessary a large board with an Executive committee may have been to super intend the construction of your new lines, neither are now required; and we 'mold strongly advise you to recure the services of some individual in lieu of your executive com mittee, while at the same time the number of your directors should lee reduced, and their dutiot confined principally to Chain of a deliberative character. We have looked into the salaries mad to all your principal servants, and we think these ate not so high as to torm any obstacle to carrying out this view." Mr. HENRY HOULDSWORTH was called to thechair, and said, the resignation of Mr. Wickam, from nuns un foresceu at the time of his accepting the chairmanship, and which were of a character to prevent his devoting that atten tion to 'he affairs of the company which he deemed nee,- sery to ft:Hale:et efficiently the eftiee of chairman, had again placed the company in such a position as to neceseitute their reliance upon a temporary eWiirraan, but he hoped before the own half-yearly meeting arrangements would be made for the uppointmeot of a permanent chairman, and by that means secure to the company the advantages which, whe ther they considered the internal working of the maceine or its external relation, could oiey he thus acquired. The fine business was to apply the common seal of the company to the registry of proprietors. Mr. PltlCk. bird he had to protest for the sixth or seventh time against the fixing of the seal to a register which con tained a false registry of shares in his name, and which he had never purchased. The CHAIRMAN said, as the act of parliament required that this form he gone through previous teeny other business being priceeded with, the seal etuld be affixed under the protest of the hon. t roprietor, and any proposition or obser vation he wished to mace to the meeting, c-uld be enter tained at a later stage of the proceedings. (II !sr, hear.) The teal tuning teen affixed, The CHAIRMAN thea addressed the meeting at some length. lie commeuced by exculpating the direction hem a considerab.e portion of the responsibility of the deprec:ation of their stuck. There were, amouest others, general causes for that depreciation, against which the directors opposed themselves wan all their might. It was the consequence of parliament cutting down their ;Wes and charges for traffic. They did too much work for the money they re ceived; and he felt certain that until railway companies combined to raise them there would be no remedy. (lieu, hear.) He was surprieed that another meeting of penitence: should be in the prospect of pass ing over without an attempt to remedy this difficulty. But, independent of this, how In were the directors of this company liable for the decline of their dividend? He would put that question as it related to the portion of share holders who were original proprietors of the Manchester and Leeds line. Now, had largest dividend ever earned by that company, he had repeatedly stated, was not 8 per cent. per annum (which they once divided), but 61 per cent. Well, according to the receipts of the past half year, the reduction cf receipts on that line, owing to the opening of the Manchester and Huddersfield, was from 60,0001. to 89,0001. for the half year. This deduction of traffic through parliament granting a competing line had therefore reduced their dividend from 61 to li per cent. (Hear, hear.) Were the dienctore to blame for this? They had done all they could to prevent the act for competitioa being paascd. (Hear, hear.) The only remaining depreciation to account tor, so far as this elms of proprietors was concerned, there fore, at most was only the difference between 4f per cent. p - r annum and their present dividend of 3 per cent. After stating other causes of depreciation, the Chairman alluded to the question of raising tarn, which he contended was a great .nuse of depreciation. lie did not say if they had power they would raise fares in every case ; it would not be their duty or 'heir interest to do so ; all they sought was the power to finely a common-sense commsreial prieciple to the conduct or neeir business. Mr. H. RAWSON said in the report pa 'wetted in Sep tember,lB49, it was stated that the estimated eu - lay to which the shareholders would be liable, would be limited to 11,253,0001. for the completion of the works ; and :be report went on to say that the directors: had no reason to expect that any further call would have to be made without the expects consent of the shareh:lders. He now perceived that the amount of capita/ required to complete the line was estimated at 11,983,0001.—Ae1e something to be paid by the East Lancashire, which sum to be so paid, however, d d not reduce the sum to anything like the amount of the former estimate. He wished now to ask if they could not have a verified statement of what was likely to be the cost of the line ? To.day they hail a dividend of 3 per cent., but they had not earned '3 per cont.—they has, in fact, earned only a little less than 11; they had yet three or four millions of capital to come into dividend. lie should lily to know what their dividend would be when that was added. Ile feared they should be reduced to something like the position of the Shetlieffi Company. (Hear, hear, aced laughter.) Ile could wish some definite conclusion to be come to between the shareholders and directors as to what the expenditure should be. During the past hall-year their working expenses had been increased by competition, but still they most receive it as the best half year, and lookicg at their prospects he must say it was highly desirable to close the capital account. Ile had a resolution Onetime to pro. pose which he hoped the directors would support: it was that this meeting at its rising do stand adjourned to the 27th inst., to receive a balanee.sheet of accounts to December, 1849, and a statement in detail of the expenditure required to close the capital *mount, which the directors are request d tO prepare and submit to a committee of consultation, prior to such adjourned meeting. After some conversation it was agreed to add the motion of Mr. Rawson to that of the chairman, for the passing of the report. Mr. DERBYSHIRE, in answer to a question from Mr. Gascoigne, said when the porch me of the Prestm end Wyre Railway was concluded, the sum of 45,0001. formed an item of purchase independent of the rats psid up, and was pay able by instalments over the first 5 years of mho rent, com• meeting Jan. 1847. Mr. OASCOIONE feared that the directors were not authorised to announce a dividend of 3 per cent. with ro small a aura as they bad to meet the deprecietim in the value of their property. Mr. MO WA'L'T, M.P., wished to have the opinion of the dirscton on the suggestion of the auditors as to the reduc tion of their number. Tho CHAIRMAN said he and the majority of his col leagues were disposed to have declared a dividend of 2% per cent., had they not been deterred from a fear of doing injustice to the boffins of ti eh sharer., because the Oh et would be to deprive them of all dividend. With regard to the question of management, the directors must leave it in the hands of the proprietors entire Iv. His own individual opinion. which had ever been confirmed by experience, was, that the responsibility (main to be vested in a smaller number, and it was on this principle that the board had en gaged Captain Lewes as a managing director. (Hear.) Mr. MO WATT said, the gnaws rof the chairman with re gard to the dividend was anything but satisfactory for he ap peared to support a dividend of 3 per cent. more as a question of expediency to the holders of the fifth shares, rather th. n because the company had really earned it. Ile wine Ito know whether this dividend had been realty earned during the half year. The CHAIRMAN said the question almost an erect it self. The dividend bad not been earned in the last half year. The directors had taken part of it out of the reserve from the peeve:me half-year. -net CHAIRMAN then put the motion, the dote of the future meeting to be that of a special meeting to be to Id in April, and the colisultation committee to mutat of Mr. W. Region, Mr. W. Evans, and Mr. John Brogden. The motion was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN then moved a reeclation for dividend, to the effect recommended in the report, of 3 per cent. A long discussion followed as to the dividend, baying mare reference, however, to the position of Fifth shares than to the general question. Mr. KYNASTON moved, at an amendment, that the dividend on the stock generally be 21 per cent., and t net the fame Interest be paid on the F Mks capital as if the dividend were 3 per cent. Mr. BENNETT moved that the question of dividend be adjourned to a fature meeting. The CHAIRMAN said that Mr. Kynastod'e amendment could not be received. Mr. EDWARD WATKIN moved as another amend ment, tI-at the dividend be 21 per cent. Mr. JOHN HARRIS seconded the motion. The CHAIRMAN thought it right to :tate, that he had ascertained, whilst the discussion was going on, that they had earned during the last half year 2 G.loths per cent per annum; and they bad done this undo'. the great disadvan tage of the Huddersfield line being opened, and a water carriage opposition of a serious nature. Tlie amendment was negatived, and the 3 per cent. divi dend earr:ed by a large majority. The proceedings were not over at 5 o'clock, when our - st was despatched. BRISTOL AND EXETER. The following ere the proceedings whioLtook place at this meeting subsequently to the despatch of our report on Tuesday : Mr. BROWNE then proceeded at considerable length to reply to the different charges against him in the speech of Mr. Castle. He contended that the statements before made and published by him in reference to toe coal tariff and the resale on goods was the correct one ; that the construction of the whetter.* at Dunhill bad not been made by him till the duty hid been declined by both the Bristol end Exeter and she Great Ntrostern beards; and that they bad been pro luctite (hiving been erec id at an expense of 10,0001. or 12.0n04.) of great advantage to the first named company. He said the \Vestleigh siding had been rimed in consequence of an ansogereent with the Canal Company ; and the letter referred to refusing the trucks to a party arose out of the fact that the individual in question hsul net paid nil accounts for the use of the sidings. The land sold by him to the company had been to oblige the bard, and to chalet the necessity of their having to purchaie at an mar mous rate of the Bridgwater coaxal, ation, awl 'the sum paid tor it by the compail 'a surveyor without his interference. As to the allegatom tat he hid injured the company by purchasing oil of a cont.... Mon or his, he read figures to show that that connexion bad only sold two parcels, several other tradesmen also supplying, and produced an invoice t.o show that on one large lot only ad. was cleared. lie boldly asserted that tr • had always acted for *sheet interests of the company, and warned the proprietors to beware of Great Western influence, which he sail had fomented the present movement. A goad deal of noisy discussion followed, and at length upon Mr Bernard's resolution for a committee of inquiry being put, it was carried by s mej 'iffy of at Last 15 to 1. The following gentlemen were then named upon it: Messrs. C. E. Berndl,H. Britten, Msj ir Gulf:ay, Lumem, of Exeter, Karr, of Bridgawwer, and J. &Wean. The report was then adepted, when, it beit.g half.paat seven o'clock, awl considerable barium remaibing to be done, Mr. BERNARD moved that the meeting should adjourn. Thus pave rite to another desultory conversation ; and, after giwng three cheers for the chairman, the mettle; ad journed till iles.:a o'clock this day (Wednesday). WEDNEgDAY. The CHAIRMAN 31: at twelve o'clock, !Tr: DEIU Y of 1;: 3 m on himself and other shareholdtra resident in his Metric', proposed that the kill yeariy meeting should be held alternately at Bristol and Exeter. T%e CHAIRMAN said the act of parliament required that thev shouid e;1 he held at Bristol. Mr. DERRY then moved that free passes be gunned to all aberehoWers over tho line to les neral and apt dal meet:ngs. It was argued, en rs ply, that such a course would be un fair to shareholders not living on the line, and the motion was negetiet el Mr. BERNARD browse' that, before the meeting went to the election of directors, It would be desirable to pus a resolution c r firming the resolution which the directors had recorded in tlscir books, expresaive of their opinion that gen /Is men being earners over the line ought not to be sleeted any seat at the hoard. Mr. BROWNE said, as the resolution was evidently aimed at him, he mizht remark cleat, f-r the I..et 15 years, be bad served them as a director, and bad repeatedly received tho honour cif reselectitn. The tariff of the company was open to every one ; whoever chose to run trucks mizht do so. The pursuit of the business of a carrier was no more a dis qualification for the directorship, than it would he in the cue of a gentlemen whose family was in the habit of travel hug over the line : the principle was the same, the difference only in degree. He hod undertaken the business of a wharfinger, mainly to promote the interests of the Bristol and Exeter line. He had brought a considerable revenue on to the line without which they could not have paid their dividend of 31 per cent., and bast five or six more of the directors brought on the same amount of revenue as he had, I the dividend w .uld have been sor 6• er cent. Il s s h ou ld be ready so yncre his:seat anr day if they could fi nd a gen th man who would employ as ergs an amount of c - ,pital as he had employed, and devote as much attention to the inter ests of the undertaking. Mr. 13-owns went into a long state want of figures to show the importance of developing the goods traffic en the line. TheCHAlli AN, in reference to the resolution referred to by Mr. Bernard as standing on the books of the board, said the directors felt sensihle of the great talent of Mr. Browne, or his large outlay of ea; ital, his evrtiont ' end his zealous devotion to the interests of the comp an y ; but they felt that the position' of a carrier and director were incom patible. (Ch. as.) At the same time considering the greet outiiy which Mr. 2.rowne hid made they did not thick that it would be rinht for him to resign so coon upon the lade pend, nt working of the line, and proposed tnat he should continue uns.l be retired by rt si.rnation rte xt year. Mr. BERNARD'S resolution having been adapted by a !erne majority, The meeting proceeded to the election of director', and a lengthened discussion, occupying some hours, ensued, prin eine ly in reference to negotiations which had taken place between the board and a committee of shareholders, upon the general matters in dispute, and more particularly as to the use of proxies by the directors or committee. The CIIAIRMAN hankie proposed that the retiring directors, Memo. W. D. and Morgan, he re-elected, and Mr. W. Fripp and Mr. M. Caat!o (of the committee of shareholders) Le .tented, 'll7 BRIt'SARD proposed as an amendment the election of Mr. Castle, Mr. Fripp, Mr. Lnrom, of Hitter, and Mr. H. Britten. Same conversation fAlowed, and ultimately the chairman's resolution wu adopted.
