The half -yearly meeting of this company was held to-dey in the Hall of the terminus, at Reston-square, G. C. GLYNN, Bag., M.P., in the chair. The advertisement calling the meeting having been read, and the minutes of the lest meeting, The CHAIRMAN proceeded to call attention to the re port. He brat bore testimony to the extraordinary and in defatigable manner in which the auditors had performed their duty. He regretted delay in the half-yearly mutinies, es he was &Mom that the accounts should be in the bands a proprietors, and the dividend paid as early as possible; the more so to prevent, by placing the fulled explanation before the public, those ilastuations which resulted from the system of jobbing curled on at the 8 ock•Exchange. The directors had not the means at their disposal to refute the statements made to carry out that system without prejudicing the ordinary business of the company ; but the bake were amp open to the proprietors, and every explanation Me, desired would be given. He complained of anonymous Islasee biegnat to him, which, he said, he always consigned le the flow. He next proceeded to call attention to the seseneed Some discrepancy in the prima accounts, as = 6 :/ith those of October, 1848 resulted from the d sad Manchester and L;ed. and Dewsbury hiderliew taken eate the general miement as share capital, while la the former mounts it appeared in the account of subsidiary lines. Anther item of excess was in regard to the Birmingham Extension; hut the directors more than hoped that the negotiation with the Great Western would put them right on that item. (Cheers) With regard to the closing of the capital account, he hoped by the end of 1850, or the beginning of 1851, all the subsidiary lines would be completed, and, so far as they were concerned, thin would be no &faculty in Mang the capital account; and as regard ed the main line, except in respect to new waggons, rendered sea - canary by the increase of the goods traffic, and possibly for a goods depot in London, which of course could not properly be charged to . The capital account, be believed, might be brought to a dose by the clue of 1850. The par seater traffic had not increased, that having been at its maximum in 1846. There was a great increase in the goods traffic. With regard to the charges, there was more cause for congratulation than with regard to the receipt.. On Mace there was a r,duction of 11,0001., or it might be taken that they had forty.thre• miles more of railway (the West Yorkshire) without any additional expense. (Hear, hear.) The suggestion to work the line by contract was fraught with so many difficultiee, that he could not recommend it. The principles which regulated small lines did not apply to lane lines. He regretted the reduced dividend, though be had warned them of it when they proceeded to take in new lines, bat causes which he could not have foremen had tended to decrease the dividends of this as of all lines far cos Mn he anticipated. The dividend for the half-year weatifl be at the rate of 5i per cent. per annum. He was in a minority on the subject, or he would have preferred a 5 gee ori:t. dividend until after 1851, putting by stage reserve. g at the greet boon railways had convened on society, M thought parliament would not refuse to grant remedial iMagares—but so many changes in the tariff would not waging. The experience of the last two years had ism that an increase in tint and second class faro a wenli have tended to a greater felling off in the receipts Man had ormarred. But he thought a small booking fee of taspcassfar each passenger might probably be advisobls se esslanly it would be an advantageous step. After olopstlng • committee to confer with ths director., with Ilhe view to re-arran e the constitution of the board, exorcise • flag • hope that the directors had in no instance forfeited the 'Marlene* of the proprietors, and intimating that the conduct dthe law business was under consideration, he called on the secretary to read the report. It appeared from the report that amosats for the half-year again exhibit a diminution in lhopenampr receipts, although, during the greater part 411 the period an additional mileage has been worked. This lemmas, amounting to 5,8691 . , is not confined to those 1 1 Isealities where the company has been subjected to the com petition r f new lines, but (although heaviest between Liver pool and Manchester) extends over the whole railway. The hex of passenger traffic was seriously felt during the pre mimeo of cholera in the autumn, and for the four weeks between the 17th September and the Bth October, the dimi wafts, as compared with the same period of 1848, amounted to 10,3401. Since that time the comparison has continued slimly to improve. The merchandise traffic continue. steadily to improve; the increase over the corresponding half year is 16,7791. This was the more gratifying in the present instance as, during eighteen weeks of the half year, the company his been sub jected to a severe contest with the canals an Lancashire. It is hoped that the present agreement, subject to such modifica tions from time to time as may be found necessary, may have a permanent character ; but the issue of the late competition has satisfied the directors that, should the necessity unfortu nately occur again, they possess ample powers to secure their fall share of the geoeral rectors of this line to be pre year, as 12,6601.
