Of eager there has , also been an increase from our own colonies, and a decrease from the foreigner, the whole amount being but 30,000 cwta. above that of 1848. Them has been a slight decrease in the consumption of sugar. The duty in 1848 produced 4,618,617 L; In 1849, but 3,866,9291. The imports of the raw material of manufactures have increased, cotton from 6,368,231 cwts. to 6,74.5,159; wool from British colonies, from 40 to 43 millions of pounds, the import from foreign countries remaining stationary. Raw silk has inereated in im post; thrown silk, decreased nearly one haiL Flax bee increased ; as have hides, the trade with Booth America, especial', with La Pinta, augmenting. Of manufactured articles there is email or no increase ot imports; those of glue, for example, much dimi nished. If men's gloves have been imported, a still pester quantity have been exported. If embroidery and needlework have been introduced to the value of 100,00 W.; haberdashery and millinery have been , exported to the salve ot a million. or silks certain exports have doubled, whilst the imports have but slightly progressed. The exports of linen have in creased. Those of woollens has leaped from 61 mil lions to 81 minims. Cotton manufactures from the declared value of 221 to that of 27 millions. Earthenware, too, had increased, and hardware. The Chancellor of the Exchequer estimated the custom of 1849 at 201 minima, being two millions less than the receipts of 1848.

It is evident that causes of a pilitical nature con tinue to exercise their icfluecce in the stack market, and keep the funds depressed. Independent of the late proceedings in Greece the unsettled aspect of affairs in the notch appears to be consichrld suffi ciently important to keep in check any tendency to a rise in the English funds ; and whilst these knotty points remain unadjusted there is probably little like lihood of any great improvement taking place. Con sols opened at 941 to 1 fur money, and 941 to 95 for account ; they then became weak and declined 4, but towards the close they again rallied, and left oft' 941 to for transfer. and 941 to 95 for account.

REPORT OF THE AUDITORS. - --- The following ere most important portions of the Metof the auditors to the shareholders In this line: e state of doubt and uncertainty existing as to the reel position of railway property, engendered by the extra ordinary events of the pest few months, has determined us to deviate from the course hitherto adopted by your auditors, in simply confirming the half-yearly accounts, and on this conaion to accompany them by a special and detailed report. Ica the month of November we commenced our exami• Ration, as on the previous occasion, by . personally visiting and inspecting the principal manufacturing, repairing, and stores' establishments of the company. These establishments we consider fully competent to the performance of the ies. pertant duty of maintaining in its integrity the rolling stock, estimated at nearly 2,000,0001., and upon the efficient con dition of which depends not only the traffic and consequent maw of the line, but also the safety of the public. Whilst reseeding our opinion that there still exists, in the arrange. meat of them, considerable scope for the continued exercise of the judicious system of economy which has been for some time past steadily in progress, we willingly bear testimony to the order and efficiency with which the whole are conducted. The question of the maintenance of the rolling steak, in Its complete working value and integrity, as a charge upon current revenue, hes engoged our special and most anxious attention, and in order to satisfy ourselves that it peruses a working value fully equivalent to the debit to capital stand ing in the company's books, that the additions under this had have been bona Age addi ions to the quantity end power of the stock, and especially, that no unprovided deterioration tat been allowed to accrue, we have obtained returns show ing the first cost, performance by, end the aliment expended in ?town and renewals upon each engine, carriage, weggon, Boa, and we have carefully examined the result. These returns ere too voluminous to be made available in the present retort, but it will be satisfactory to the pro. prietore to know that they show the following results : Original en et of stock to 31st December, 1846 £1,409,002 0 0 Leto written off as "Depreciation len d," exclusive of charges for renewals is repairs' account, up to 31st Dee:ember, 1846 99 es &v 111 10e I2i 11J10 IS T i a sum shoat equal to the amount debited in the year 11349 ; seasequatly this amain will be finally written off in the present year. In makiag up the locomotive account of the southern divi sion to the 30th June last, a nun was claimed as a credit against capital for the enlargement of Engines, but disal- 1 lowed by the locomotive committee ; cons and damages of ea action in respect of a contract for the supply of coke, 1847 ; sad sundry other chances not considered to appertain to the ordinary expenditure of the half year, in all amount ing to 6,7461.'2. 10d. A portion of this was passed to the iebit of reveum account, in June, 1849, and the remainder has been passed in like manner to tits revenue account of the lest half year. I have traced thane tremendous and find that, in additien to their being recorded in the minutes of the committee, they were duly brought under your notice. I have examined, sad hereby certify to you, that all direct toes sad other official perms connected with the company have paid up the whole amount of calls due upon their ~harea sad stock, to 31st December lest. I cannot allow this opp rtunity to peas without expressing my opinion as to the mode in which the accoun•s of this company are kept, They are, in my judgment, so perfect and systematic, that I have no hesitation in recommending their continuance as at present. Mr. Wright's report on the stores' accounts, states the result of his investigation generally to be, that upon a careful consideration of all that has come under his notice, he is warranted in certifying that the stock of stores, as a whole, in quantity and quality, fully and fairly represent the east at which they stand debited in the public accounts of the easapeny. The capital amount to the 31st of December shows that 28,266,0831., including 2,632,1651. during the pest had-year, bad been received, and 28,192,0314 expended, including 2,906,1641, expended dazing the past halt-year, leaving a M imes of 73,0621. The amount emended on main lines and works was 17,651,2811. ; on Leeds and Dewsbury and Iluddruli•ad and Manchester lines, 2,408,4261 ; locomotive stock, 1,971,0991. ; oa lands and buildings yielding rent, 251,0831. • on lines opened in which the company have en interest, 2,904,057 L, nuking a total amount of 25,186,847/. upon which dividend and interest are °Tamed to . Tree sum expended on branch lines of the company not completed, and in those they have an interest, is 3,006,184 i. The amount of share eanital paid up is 17,911,1611. ; paid in advance of calls, 176,6181. ; loans on debentures. 9,846,1331. ; loans on Hud dersfield and Dewsbury lines, 332,1701.: total, 28,265,0821. The return .1 working stock states on the 31st of December, 1849, there were 631 locomotive engines and 533 waders I state canine, 449 first-class and composite car. rises, tender,4 second-class, 232 third-clear, 25 post.cffices and teMen, 230 carriage trucks, 157 break and pat eel vane, 36 parcel carts and trucks, 6,611 waggons, 122 sheep vans, 13 Moneys, die. The amount of calls which may be made was 3,775,7704 ; amount of calls in course of payment, 132,4131. ; total amount receivable on joint-stock capital, 3,908,2131. The total length of mileage worked is 7254 miles ; average cut per mile for rolling stink, 2,5901. The avenge cost per mile far railing stock, in 1840, when 2331 miles were worked, was 2,6791, The revenue account for the half-year ending the 31st December lot states that 1,164,3961. had been received, of which 1,129,6051. was for traffic; and 628,378/. expended, of which 381,3901. was fee working charges ; 53,04131. for rates and taxes and pus nger duty ; 170,5221. interest on l•mos ; 17,9061. losses in respect of the North Unisn, the Preston and Wyre, and thy Scottish Central Railways; and 5,412/. rents and muse, sea of Peterborouth joint station ; leaving a Palace* of 536,0161.

A careful examination of these statements, assisted by the practical experience of Mr. Wright. together with our own personal observation, enables us to state that the system adopted by this company (aided as it has been in former years by a very large annual charge for deterioration, amount ' tag in the aggregate to 390,0001.) has had, and continues to the effect of preserving the telling stock in a state of full effieieocy and corking value. Entertaining a strong *pinion that the shareholders are desirous of knowing, as accurately as it could be ascertained, the amount of capital of which the concern is finally tc con sist, seas to be enabled themselves to form a deliberate opi nion of the ultimate value of their property, we have cor dially concurred with the directors in the preparation of an estimate of the remaining expenditure required upon each of the railways and works, with which the company is con nected. That estimate, which will no doubt be laid before you, shows an aggregate of 1,670,0004; in reduction o(which there are surplus lands and ether assets, estimated at 520,0001, leaving • net ultimate increase upon the present expenditure of - 1,020,0001. ; end we strongly recommend that within the limits there indicated the capital amount be rigidly closed, and not again re-ripened, unless to meet the requirements of • positive increase of traffic, and even then, only by virtue of a special vote of • general meeting. Although, in our cam, we have been permitted and in vited to exercise, unrestrained, all necessary power, we are of opinion that such should not be left optional, but should be vested fa your auditors by legislative enactment; and while we would recommend you to oppose to the uttermost any interference on the part of government in the internal management of railways or their accounts, we entirely concur in the meseures now osing adopted by our brother share holder', for obtaining by parliamentary powers a clearly defined, efficient, and independent system of railway audit, free from government interference or control. (Signed) AnaL PEYTON. ELIAS Jos. MOSLEY. ACCOUNTANT'S IMPORT. Mr. Coleman, having cre;al;dtiidMode la which the amounts g e lly us kept, pretended thus: I have to ripen that the joint taint-I account, as published each half year, crisis s of actual receipts and additions, without reference to advances or liabilities. . The general capital account shows, in like manner, the actual remiss and expeaditure. Upon the examination of the share account, I find that all new creations have been issued rateably to the r eg istered proprietor,; those entit l ed to fractional parts ha vi ng the option of receiving either the value in cash, or a share on payment of the difference calculated at the same rate. The result of this account shows a loin of 4,699/. 6.. fid. which, with the sum of 18,4261. credited in the published st atement of 30th June, 1847, in respect of fractional parts of new shares, still in the strong box of the company, stand as a debit against the value of such shares, and others, the pro ✓erty of the company, registered in the names of the chair men end deputy chairman, and the premium upon which, at present Om, amply cover the amount. The foregoing shares are exclusive of 20,187 London and Birmingham 201. shares of August, 1845, and 19,115 new quarter sharer of August, 1846, created, but not issued.
