THE CHESTER AND LIOLYNF.AD RAILWAY COMPANY held their half yearly general meeting yesterday, at the Euston station. Mr. Jackson, M.P , presided, in the room of Sir S. M. Peto, who was absent from indisposition. The following are the principal portions of the report laid before the meeting and adopted :—T he adjustment of all claims chargeable to capital enables the directors to render the statement of expenditure on that account in a more complete shape this half-year than heretofore. Asa necessary consequence, however, a large sum appears added to the expenditure for the past miff year, which in fact is comprised almost entirely of accounts hitherto in dispute, and therefore not included in the printed statements, and of amounts w:lich, being unpaid, could not form part of the return of sums actually expended. Of the amount under the head of partiamenthry charges the sum of 1,47•!./. 18s. sil. has been experi.tql during the past half-year, on the bill promoted in Parliament and approved by the proprietors at a special meeting on 25th of June let.; the remainder is the balance of an account still unpaid, and which forms a portion of the liabilities of the company. A statement of assets and liabilities is appended to the capital account, and exhibits an estimated balance of 15,2821. 11s. in favour of the company, after liquidation of all claims, including replacement of the revenue receipts applied to the payment of capital charges. A balance of 56,1481. 18s.
