RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. SOUTH-EASTERN. The directors of this company have just issued their report. It states that the receipts of the South-Eastern Company, for the half-year ending the 31st of July last, amounted to 438.7791. The working expenses and re newals amounted to 200;456/. ; the rates, takes, tolls,' and Government duty to 33,6551. ; the rents 'of the Greenwich Railway, Deptford Creek-bridge, and Anger stein branch and wharf, to 23,220/ ; sures, in addition to 62,6381., the interest of the mortgage debt 20 5001. South-Eastern' Annuities ; and 13,7681. gua ranteed stock, make a total deduction from the gross .earnings of .354,239/. The profit and . loss account shOws a balance of 13;887/. from the last account, as ,well as'll,4Bll. the net earnings at the credit of the steam-boat account, and is debited with 4,096/. for Par lisunentary awl other expenses, leaving a disposable balance of 105,812/. The directors recommend, a divi dend at the rate of Bs. 6d. per 301. stock, or at the rate of 2/. 168. 84. 'per cent. per annum, which will absorb 105,310/. and leave 501/. A comparative statement of passenger traffic shows an increase in the receipts of 2;7621. on the main line and branches, of 1,2721. on the Neith Kent line, and a decrease of 1,7981. on the Greenwich line, as compared with the corresponding period of 1854. The inirease in the goods traffic on the ,rnain line and branches amounted to 3.4621., and on the North Kent line to 1. 7561. ; total, 5,2181. The revenue account shows an Increase in the gross receipts fur the hal-year of 7,8671., and a net lucre se of 2,199/. in the steam-boat receipts ; making together 10,066/. The profit and loss account exhibits a credit balance of 13,8871. from the previous half-year, in °wine' 8,842/. which had been paid to the 31st of January on account of the costs in the matter of the Croydon acchlent. Mr. Seymour Clarke, who was appointed arbitrator under an agreement between the London, Brighton, and South Coast Company and this company, having .recently awarded that 85 per cent. of the damage is to he paid by the Brighton Company, and 15 per cent, by this company, 'a por tion of the above reserved balance accordingly be comes available in the present half-year. The profit and loss account also shows that the balance - of net re eeipts from traffic for the half-year (including the steam boat receipts) is 216 148/. s- against 2,24.772/. in the corresponding bait' year of 1854, or a decrease of 8,6231. This decrease has been caused principally by the increase in the expenses of the locomotive dui artmeet and by the increased rate of intereer paid on borrowed money. Of' the total increase of 9.9561 in the expenses of the loco motive department, 4.3941. has arisen from the increased price paid for coke, and the remainder from the costs in curred in the repairs and renewal of engines and tenders, carriages and waggons. The increasei aliount paid as interest on loans during the half-year has amounted to 6.095/. ; and there has also been a ,, increase of 2,542/ in the dividend payable on the fixed 46 per cent, shares issued under the powers of the Stro , (d and Maidstone Act, which is required by the erovieions of that act to be charged against rev enu e, a l t h oug h th e li ne i s only in course of construction. The engineer reports that these works are proceeding satisfactorily, and that the blanch will probably he complete" and ready for traffic by the Ist of July next, when the capital expended on this line will become productive, instead of being, as it now is, a serhus charge upon the company's revenue; On the whole, the result of the last half-year's working of the railway may be regarded as satisfactory. The increase of former years both in the receipts from goods and pas sengers has been more than maintained, notwithstanding the severity of the past winter and the pressure upon tare resources of the country caused by increased taxation. The steam-boat traffic also exhibits a steady increase. The expenditure on capital account during the half-year has bees 116,857/., prinpipaliyin connection with the works on the Strood and Maidstone branch. A portion of the ca pital expenditure hasalso been incurred in connection with the works on the. Reading Extension, by which the t,r minus of that railway is braught more immediately into connection with the Realing station of the GI eat Western CemparV. The extension is now completed and ready. for public traffic.' The directors propose that about 2,000,000/. of the bonded debt should he converted into debenture stock, bearing interest at the rate of 4 per cent, per annum. As the average interest paid by the company is 46 per cent., the company will save a coed derable sum annually by the conversion. The ceP4al account shows that 11,287,5631. had been expended to the 30th of June last, The debenture ac count shows that 2,625,100/. had been raised, of which 1.063,3721. was borrowed at 5 per cent.; 345.0701. at 4i per cent. ; 533.8701. at 44 per cent. ; 228,6301. at 41 r.er cent. ; 402,1011. at 4 per cent. ; 38,500/. at 3i per cent. ; 11,050/. at 31 per cent. ; and 2,5001. at 3 per cent. EASTERN CO UNTIES. It appears that the directors of this company intend to declare a dividend of 4Q. 6J, per share fur the half year ending the 30th of June last. SOUTH WALES. The capital account of this company to the 30th of June last shows that 3,907.0141. had been received, and 4933/. expended,. includi ng 184 . 5 97 1 . i n subscrip tio(m6s7lo other companies, leaving a balance • against the company of 160,9191. The revenue account for the last half-year ending the 30th of June shows that 137,192/. had been received, and 85,189/. expended, leaving a ba lance of 52,0021. To this 'is added 8,8321. from the last account, 2,8831. tolls from the Forest of Dean tramway, 1,872/. dividends on shares held in the Vale of Neath R a ilway, 3.6111. earnings of waggon stock, and 19,2501 Great Western fixed rent, making 88,4831. From this is deducted.7lol. for rents, 26,535/, interest on loans, and 11.6241. assumed amount due to the Great Western under the agreement of 1851, together 38.8701., leaving a disposable balance of 49,612/. Out of this is deducted 7.745/. for dividend on guaranteed 201. shares, and 36,7251. for dNidecd on the ordinary shares at the rate of 3 per 'cent. per annum, leaving a balance over of view to save expense, certain f rrnal admissions bad been made by the London and nalli-Western Company.

The directors were informed that great pro uress had been made in the formation ,of a line from Newtown to 1 1 .Iachyntleth, and which would secure to this line the traffic of-the South and. North-West coats. The directors were anxilus to commence the works on the Llani Hoes and Newtown line as aoln as possible, but they could not do so until about 1.5,000/. additional shares were. tziken ; and, with the view of facilitating the com mencement of the works, the direct rs proposed shortly to submit to the ownirs of land required for the line that they . should take out the price f the -ame in shares, r Accept an annual renteharw.in lien of purchase-money. The pr.!bable local tmtfic likAy to pass over the line time estimated at-nearly 4 per cent. per annum on-the aw.ho rifled capital. .

Sir.—The Queen, Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the Princess Royal, arrived on the 19th instant, in the " Victoria and Albert"- yacht, at Boulogne, where her Majesty was received by the Emperor of the French, amidst the salutes of the arniy of Boulogne, posted on the heights. and the acclamations of a vast concourse of people assembled for the occasion. At Amiens, where the Queen stopped for a Fhort t end along the whole line of ra. I way, her Majesty was re ceived with every demonstration of respect and kind feeling. At Paris, from the station to St Cloud, these feelings were manifested in the strongest manner; and I can con• vey no better idea of the reception of her Majesty by the people of Paris than by stating, that the enthusiasm was quite as great as that which greeted the Emperor and Em press on their arri'ial in London. The same cordial welcome has been given to the Q•men at the various places where her Majesty has since appeared in public; and her Msj,stv is profoundly sensible of the spontaneous and universal kindress which has bgen dis played towards her by the people of France. - It is impossible to doubt that the Queen's visit will still More closely cement the alliance which now so happily subsists batween the Sovereigns and the people of Ei.gland and France. • • I cm happy to inform you that the Queen, Prinee Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the Princess Royal are in perfect health.—l have, &c., CGAR.
