Directors to continue the payment of the interest at 10 per cent. per annum, but enable them to declare periodical bonuses on the capital called up. As to the Catalan property, having regard to its impor tant position, the command it has of the seaboard, the faci lities it presents for construction of the new port, and its general adaptability for the formation of streets, shops, and private villas, a large and remunerative return may also be anticipated. ESTIMATED PROFIT ON CATALAN PROPERTY. On reference to Mr. Borde's Report, it will be seen that when the various improvements which have been sug gested have been completed, and the Catalan property fully developed, it is estimated to yield a gross profit of upwards of cent. per cent., and this within a period of three years, although the estimates have been based on the more extended period of five years, and that when the Fort St. Nicholas is removed, and the new port completed, this profit will be trebled. MINIMUM INTEREST, TEN PER CENT. As the first payments of annuities and rent under the arrangements entered into with regard to the Joliette pro perty do not commence until the Ist October, 1867, and become payable only in the subsequent half-year, viz., the Ist April, 1868, the Directors have decided to pay in terest at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum for two years, from March, 1866, on the capital called up, and for which four interest warrants will be attached to the share certifi cates at the time of issue (which will be charged to land purchases account). After that date the revenue from the Joliette lands, the rentals from the other properties, and profits on further sales, will be applicable for dividend or bonuses. PAYMENT OF SHARES IN FULL ALLOWED. As some Shareholders may prefer to pay up the shares in full rather than have a larger number subject to calls, application may be m,ade for shares to be fully paid up on allotment. Four half-yearly interest warrants, at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, will likewise be attached to these share certificates. In the allotment of shares prefe rence will be given to these applications, but the number so allotted will not exceed 30,000 shares, and the Directors reserve to themselves the right in iheir discretion only to allot 60,000 shares in all on the present allotment. A portion of the shares will be allotted to applicants who are Shareholders in _ _ . „- w. The Credit Foncier and Mobilier of England (Limited), The .Agra and Masterman's Bank (Limited), the National Bank, The National Bank of Liverpool (Limited), To applicants from Marseilles and Paris, and the balance to the other portion of the general public. Applications for shares may . be made in the annexed form, which must be accompanied by the payment of £1 per share deposit, without which no application will be considered. Should a less number of shares be allotted than are supplied for the deposit will, so far as required, be applied towards the payment due on allotment.

PROVIDENCE ROW NIGHT REFUGE, FOR HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN, 14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.C. Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches. At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager, &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, and orphans are, for want accommodation, refusedadmittance, andhave to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised,' but to accomplish the work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving ? The smallest donation will be most welcome, and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will be offered in your behalf.

The half-yearly general meeting of this company was held on Friday at the Paddington Station ; Mr. D. Gooch, M.P., in the chair. The report, an abstract of which has appeared in The Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said that he took the chair at the request of friends deeply interested in that great company, and when he did so it was in the hope of being of service to the company ; at the same time he felt the great responsibility which that honour placed upon him, and that the whole of his energies and mind would have to be devoted to their service. He was not going to hold out hopes of great pro sperity in the future. Perhaps they had had already too many promises ; but he hoped that in the future they would have, instead of promises, sound performances. lie would only promise them whatever railway experience he had, and whatever exertions he could make in their service should be faithfully and honestly performed, and if he succeeded by the aid of the directors in raising the dividend to that point which he had always felt it ought to attain, he should be amply rewarded for his exertions and trouble. The policy which ought to guide them in the future was totally to abstain from bringing upon themselves those heavy obligations to which, un fortunately, they had been too much accustomed. They had in too many instances bought off oppo sition by taking over contractors' lines, many of which should never have been made, and which were not for the benefit of the country, but simply for the advantage of individuals. They ought to leave such lines to find their own resources, and if the promoters should ever be able to complete them, which in many cases they would never do without assistance from large companies, it would be better policy for the company to fight them after they were completed than to take upon themselves the liabilities belonging to such lines. He thought the evil would be found much less in the one case than in the other. They should, as far as possible, make arrangemens for utilising the lines of their neighbours, and giving them the opportunity of utilising their own lines, so that they might make the best arrangements for carrying forward the traffic for the mutual advantage of the different companies concerned and the accommodation of the public. There were many portions of their line where, probably, by giving rnnning powers to one company ,over them, and getting in exchange run ning powers over the lines of the other companies, they might greatly benefit the public and be enabled to work the traffic at less cost. From communica- tions he had had with other large companies, there was a general feeling that those were principles which should guide them. If that course were generally adopted, he believed they might look for ward to a much better position for railway pro perty. He regretted that the present accounts showed so little dividend. The revenue account dur ing the past half-year showed an increase of £42,255, of which £21,330 was de,Eived from passengers, and £20,986 from goods. The former was worked at a slight increase of cost, but the latter, owing to a reduction of rates and an increased mileage of 239,574 miles, was worked at considerable cost. During the last winter they had been very short of working plant, and were therefore unable to take all the goods and mineral traffic that had been offered to them ; but if they had had a full supply of work ing stock the additional traffic, nothwithstanding reduced rates, would have shown a much better re sult. They had had an increase in the item of re newal of the permanent way of £7,000, which arose almost entirely from the reconstruction of the Aber gaveny and Hereford line, by replacing the Barlow rails with a permanent and better road, and of the department they had an excess of £5,649, arising from increased mileage of trains. There was also an increase of £6,578 in the carriage and waggon repairs. There was an increase of £11,849 in the carrying account, but he felt certain that some items in it might be reduced. The Hammersmith line, which was formerly worked separately, was now worked as a joint line, and therefore came rather heavily on the working charges. The rates and taxes were growing items, over which they had but little control. The rent-charges had increased in respect of various branches, but, as the traffic increased on them, the charge would diminish. Several of the branches showed a satisfactory increase of traffic, and he trusted, by carefully looking after them, they would eventually yield a profit, instead of involving a loss. The general interest account had increased, not only in consequence of the increased capital ex pended during the half-year, but also to some extent from the increased rate of interest they had to pay for temporary loans. It was scarcely possible to control the Parliamentary expenses, because the directors must protect the property of the company against the attacks which were made upon it every . Session. The accident account was an unsatis factory one, as in the preceding half-year they had charged £15,000 to that account, and in the past half-year the directors had thought it right to charge £25,000 against the revenue on account of accidents, the balance being so large. The loss on the working of the Vale of Neath Railway was put down at £ 20 , 000 for the past year, but it was hardly fair to say it was a loss, because traffic had been diverted from the Vale of Neath, which was worked as part:of;the:Great Western system, instead of being worked separately ; but it was not all loss, and he had no doubt the actual loss would eventu ally be got rid of by judicious management. They would soon have to consider the question of gauge as to how it was to be dealt with. It was a question the Board would have to solve before the next meet ing. They had recently received a memorial signed by nearly every firm of any standing in South Wales, expressing a desire that the narrow gauge might be carried out in that district ; and they were also pressed on the same subject in many other districts. It would involve a large expenditure and would absorb some of the new capital they proposed to raise by their bill. There had been about 220 bills deposited in Parliament this session which more or less affected the company, but they were now re duced to 195 bills, which they would have to watch and look after, some of which were of great impor tance. There were lines promoted, not for the benefit of the district, but from A to B across the country, merely by an engineer, a contractor, and a lawyer, hoping that by getting the bill through they might force some adjoining company to take them and pay the bill of costs, but he hoped that a policy of that kind would be discouraged and discoun tenanced. If the promoters of such lines g noit their bills he hoped the policy would b e to let the the lines and fight for the traffic when they were made. (Cheers.) Mr. C. A. WOOD, deputy chairman, seconded the motion for the report. Colonel LINDSAY, .P called attention to the cripley_meadow question. He understood that the' contract b e t w een the board and the corporation of Oxford was at the present moment not valid. But even if the land were in possession of the company, the only liability would be to pay £ll2 a year. He requested the directors to suspend negotiation on the subject, and in the meantime take into consideration the expediency of abandoning the project altogether. He hoped the _ directors would consider the liberal proposal which had been made by the corpo ration of Abingdon, which he was authorised to re new. He contended that Cripley-meadow was deci dedly unfit for the erection of any large works upon it, and concluded by moving the suspension of negotiations between the Board and corporation of Oxford. Mr. B. B. WILLIAMS seconded the motion, and stated that he had known Cripley-meadow for the last 40 years, and when he visited Oxford some time ago it was under water, as it usually was for ~~~ three or four months in most yew. If they per sisted in building workshops upon it, they should also provide graveyards for their men. The CHAIRMAN said that having looked carefully into the subject of the necessity foe:carriage shops, he did not think the company would find it neces sary to go to any expense — wliatevdr in building shops for some time to come. This subject would be somewhat affected by the question of the gauge on the railways. (Hear.) Col. LINDSAY, M.P., then withdrew his amend ment. Mr. WITHERS hoped nothing would be done in this matter without the special sanction of the shareholders. Mr. TAYLOR felt sure it would be a long time be fore the sanction of the shareholders would be ob tained to such extravagances as building workshop on Cripley-meadow. He thought it was impossible for gentlemen on the board to fulfil their duties properly, considering that they represented in the aggregate the interests of 122 companies, and that one member of the Board represented 18 companies. He knew if the chairman could give his time to the company it must result in advantage to the share holders. He hoped the shareholders would resist any further increase of capital, as they were spend ing like £l,OOO a week in Parliamentary and law expenses. Mr. ADAMS was glad the present chairman had commenced by making no promises. The present dividend was, with one exception, the smallest they had ever received in the second half of the year. They had a most excellent staff of officers, and it was not their fault that the dividends were small. With 195 bills in Parliament affecting their interests, he thought the best thing would be to but ton up their pockets and allow no expenditure for any purpose whatever. The extension policy had been tried for 31 years and failed; now let them try for only five years the opposite policy and see if it would succeed. They had now 1,280 miles of rail way, and he thought they should endeavour to get their share of the Irish traffic by opening steam com munication between Milford Haven and the south of Ireland. He believed, if the chairman devoted his talents to the increase of the net profits, the share holders would before long get a dividend that would repay them for the long time they had waited. Mr. GILES said that the narrow gauge was daily becoming more necessary at various places, and un til it was carried out where required he believed they would be liable to attack. He hoped the board would not overlook the vast importance of making a satisfactory communication with South Wales for the development of the coal traffic over their lines, of which they all knew the importance. Mr. WITHERS said, when he first heard of the 2 per cent. dividend, he asked what had become of the increased traffic, but he found that the revenue ac count had been most unusually and exceptionally charged. He did not object to it, but he did nol wish it to go forth that their accounts did not stand well. There was £25,000 for accidents, £24,000 for the Shrewsbury lines, and £20,000 on the Vale of Neath account charged against revenue that were excep tional, making together £70,000, which did not be long to the revenue of the half-year. They had car ried over a balance of £12,000, making together £82,000, which under ordinary circumstances would have gone into their pockets, and have given them, with the proposed dividend, 2 per cent. for the half year. Mr. HAAPER, one of the auditors, remarked that the statement of Mr. Withers as to the revenue was fair and just. He could assure the proprietors that the accounts had been fully and fairly charged, and were it not for certain exceptional charges, the dividend would have been close upon 24 per cent. This statement was confirmed by Mr. Child, another auditor. The CHAIRMAN said, with regard to the accounts, that a more honest or legitimate statement of ac counts was never put before any body of share sholders. He had had many years' experience of the details of railway accounts, and if anything was to be said about the present accounts, it was that they dealt rather hardly with the shareholders. For a period of 27 years the company had been very free from accident until the last few years, and he hoped that freedom from accident would return. Every s Tc au uppoLtunivj the question of the workshops, which would depend a great deal on the decision that might be come to with reference to the narrow gauge. The report of the directors and the statement of accounts were unanimously adopted. The CHAIRMAN then moved that a dividend at the rate of £2 per cent. per annum be declared on the Great Western Consolidated stock; a dividend at the rate of 18s. 6d. per cent. per annum on the West Midland (Oxford) stock ; a dividend at the rate of 17s. 6d. per cent. per annum on the West Midland (Newport) stock ; and at the rate of £3 ss. per cent. per annum on the South Wales Consoli dated stock for the half-year ending the 31st of January last, carrying forward a balance of £12,886. Mr. A. C. WOOD seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN said the next business was the re-election of the directors. He would commence by proposing the re-election of Capt. Bulkeley. After some observations by Mr. J. Adams, Mr. J. Parson, Mr. Withers, and Mr. A. C. Wood, who explained that Mr. Gooch had been appointed a director by Sir Watkin W. Wynn kindly exercising that right at the request of directors and proprie tors, The following retiring directors, Capt. Bulkeley, Mr. E. Leeming, Mr. C. R. M. Talbot, M.P., and the Hon. G. Ponsonby, were unanimously re elected. On the motion for the re-election of Mr. E. W. Watkin, M.P., Mr. ADAMS said he would oppose it ; but on a show of hands he was re-elected almost unani mously, only Mr. Adams dissenting. Mr. C. A. Wood was then unanimously re-elected ; and Mx. Daniel Gooch, M.P., seconded by Mr. Williams, was unanimously elected a director of the company amid loud cheers. The CHAIRMAN, in returning thanks for the kind manner in which the meeting had elected him, said the only drawback was that of displacing Mr. Williams, who had been a most efficient member of the Board, but he was very happy to say the com pany would retain his v aluable services on the loca l committee at Chester.

Another special meeting was also held, and agree ments with the Bala and Dolgelly and the Corwen and Bala Railway Companies for working the lines at 52i per cent. of the receipts in the former case, and 60 per cent. in the latter, with rebate arrange ments to secure the deficiency up to 4 per cent., were confirmed.
