The interest on the fol lowing amounts is borne by revenue, namely-545,0001. in respect of the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Rail way ; 183,8571. Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhamp ton Railway ; 48,562/., Cornwall Railway ; 10,0001., Wycombe Railway ; 12,500/.

The revenue account for the half-year ending the 31st of December last shows that 648,6611. had been received, including 387,783 1 . for passengers ; 196,0181. for mer chandise, cattle, &c. ; 7,0501. for rent from Bristol and Birmingham Railway ; 11,095/. for use of plant by other companies ; 3,0391. interest on cash balances ; and 4,9171. for rents and registration fees. The expenditure during the same period amounted to 264,7341., including 14,7291. for Government duty, 12,7651. rates and taxes, and 3,5001. fir Parliamentary and legal expenses, leaving a balance for the half-year of 383,9271. To this sum is added 15,699/. brought from the last account, and 2,2271. received for dividends on the South Devon and Glocester and Dean Forest Rail way shares, making together 401,8531. Out of this sum the following amounts are deducted—namely, 3651. for additions to works on lines opened, 16,4821. annui ties of 4 per cent. per annum guaranteed to shareholders of the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway, 1,3281. interest on Berke and Hants Extension shares, 5,7151. rent of Glocester and Dean Forest Railway (on 254,0001. at 42 per cent. per annum), 1,2861. rent-charge on Pad dington estate, 1,5001. proportion of rent of the Wy combe Railway from the opening on the Ist of August to the 31st of December last, 4,2331. appropriated against any loss on the lease of the South Wales Rail way to the 30th of June, 1854, 74,9091. interest on pre ference stack, and 191,9051. balance of interest paid on loans ; together, 237,7201., leaving a disposable balance of 164,133/. The sum estimated to meet the claims of the Shrewsbury and Chester and Shrewsbury and Bir mingham shareholders for the half-year ending the 31st of December last is 27,000/., and the amount estimated to meet the deficiency under the South Wales lease to December, 1854, is 8,0001., making together 35,0001. This sum is deducted from the disposable balance of 164,1321., leaving 129,132/. for dividend on the ordinary stock (8,236,2761.). A dividend at the rate of 14 per cent. for the half-year on that amount would absorb 123,5441., and leave a balance of 5,5851. The debenture statement shows that 9,303,411/. has been raised by the company on various securities to the 31st of December last ; of which amount the sum of 3,508,7861. was borrowed at 5 per cent., 897,6201. at 41 per cent. 1,586,893/. at 41 per cent., 40,500/. at 44 per cent , 1,967,880/. at 4 per cent., 331,725/. at 31 per cent., and 970,507/. at 34 per cent. per annum. Appended to the statement of accounts is a circular by the directors, explaining the business which they pro pose to submit to the proprietors at the special meeting to be held on Thursday next. It would be well if this course were generally adopted by railway directors, as it would tend to save much valuable time from being consumed at meetings in asking and answering compara tively trivial questions, and thus driving off the consid eration of the important business to the end of the day, before which, in all probability, many of the shareholders are compelled to leave the meeting and the decision to the few remaining shareholders. The circular explains that it is intended to raise 1,325,000/. to reimburse the sums already advanced, and to make all further payments for the construction and completion of the 'Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway, and of other lines and works duly authorised and required to be constructed by acli• of Parliament. The Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway expenditure will provide fir the entire completion of the several lines with all necessary stations, &c., connected with that undertaking still unopened—namely, between Frome and Weymouth, 522 miles, between Warminster and Salisbury, 201 miles ; Melkeham and Devizes, 14 miles ; and between Bradford and Bathanipton, 9 miles. Also a junction station at C'nippenhatn for the Wilts, Somer set, and Weymouth traffic. This creation of capital will comprise also the expenditure for the Westeru Branch of the Berks'and Hants Railway, with an enlarged sta tion at Reading, and other accommodation there for goods an minerals, as well as for the rails, &a., required to be laid down in completion of a narrow gauge com munication between Wolverhampton and Basingstoke. It is recommended by the directors that this ruin of 1,325,0001. should be created in shares, with fixed pre ference dividends not to exceed 5 per cent, per annum, with a power to the company t ) redeem the same after the expiration of seven years from the dates which may be fixed for the issue of such shares. The lease of the Cornwall Railway, to be considered at the same special meeting, Is proposed to enable that company to raise on mortgage debentures in further construction of their line, with the interest thereon guaranteed by the associated companies. For such purpose.' the companies in the pro portions hereunder-named—viz., the Great Western Com pany of two-ninths, the Bristol and Exeter Company and the -South Devon Company together of seven-ninths, agree to work the Cornwall Railway, and to Eacure the interest (limited to 5 per cent. per annum) to the holders of their mortgage debentures upon a capital not exceed ing 375,020/., which annual interest will be the first charge upon the revenue, amounting to 18,750/. per an num. The working expenses, to the extent of 37,5001., are to be next deducted out of the gross receipts of the underkin , s, and the residue divided between the Corn wall shareholders and the associated companies in fixed proportions until the whole working expenses shall have been defrayed. Covenants are provided that the lease shall continue for a term of seven years, and further un til full reimbursement shall have been made of every dis bursement of the lessees in respect thereof, all payments which may become necessary in working the line being held to be advances for account of the Cornwall Com pany, to be replaced with interest out of their future revenues. The works are to be finished and the line opened in the first instance between Plymouth and Truro, in continuation of the South Devon Railway, a distance of fifty-three miles, and the lease i s t o com mence from that event, with a provision for an open ing in the interval, at the option of the associated companies, of any portion of their railway. The proprie tors will be asked to ratify an agreement with the Birk enhead, Lancashire, and Cheshire Junction Railway Com pany for working traffic ever their lines of railway, at agreed proportions out of the receipts of the line. It is intended to secure to the Birkenhead Company that the traffic revenues of 1854 shall not be diminished in amount during the year 1856, and that from and after the Ist of January, 1857, there shall be a minimum increase to the revenues of 1854 of 5,000/. per annum during each of the succeeding five years. The Great Western Company are to receive out of those revenues 35 per cent, for working expenses, and the Birkenhead Company are to receive 65 per cent, for the use of their lines, stations, and other conveniences, and for the maintenance of way, repair of stations, and parochial rates, The agreiment will al:=o provide an option to the Great Western Company, sub ject to the sanction of Parliament, to rent the Birken head line in perpetuity, at a fixed rent of 4 per cent, per annual upon the capital of the company, if the option be exercised within three years ; or at 44 per cent. per an num if exercised within the succeeding two years ; for which purpose application is to be made for an act of Parliament. LONDON AND NORTII-WESTERN. The directors of this company have just issued the statement of accounts for the half-year ending Dec. 31, 1854.

LA W LYTELLIGENCE.—Feb. 12. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings at Guildhall.—Before Lord Campbell and a Special Jury.) cram. CON.—HOPB V. AGILIDO. (Contia.ved from our impression of yesterday.) Monsieur Beaudelocke examined by Sir F. Thesiger —I am an avocat at Boulogne, and practise in thecourta of France. Application was made to me for the regis ters of persons embarking and disembarking at Bou logne. I applied to the central commissary of police at Boulogne for the registers themselves, but the cen tral commissary would not permit it. A. espy of these registers is sent from time to time to the Minister of the Interior. I demanded pierinission from the centralcom mipsary t• make extracts from the registers, and it was granted. I went to the commissary of the port where the registers are kept. I made the extracts from those registers and now produce them. The registers are kept by virtue of ministerial orders—under the order of the Minister of the Interior. That has bee❑ the custom since 1816. The Attorney-General—These orders do not exist under any law of France ? Witness—No; they are orders made by the Minister for the execution of the law. The Attorney-General--And mere matters of police ? Witness --Yes. The Attorney-General submitted sufficient bad not been done to enable the books to be put in. Lord Campbell—No, it must be shown that these re gisters exist under the laws or ordinances of France. I will a linit that evidence. Exa,miriation continued—No person cm arrive at or depart from Boulogne without being registered, They are registered in the books from which I made the ex tracts. If the central commissary signs a certificate that, according to the register, such and such a person has arrived or has embarked, it would receive full credit in the courts of France, unless it could be shown that there was a material error. Cross-examined—The courts would receive the certifi cate in preference to the books. Lord - Campbell—l think, Mr. Attorney, I must now receive this evidence. The Attorney-General—Very well, my lord. You will be good enough to undentand me as objecting. The extracts from the registries of persons embarking and disembarkinc , at Boulogne in April, 1843, wore then put in. They went to show that the defendant and his servants arrived at Boulogne on the 22d of that month, and loft on the 29th of July in the same year. - Cross-examined by the Attorney-General—l copied these extracts word for word from the registers. Tallandie examined—l was hired to drive a car riage in Paris, by the Count Aguado. I had orders from the Count to drive Mrs. Hope about. I had a general order from him to obey her orders. I was in the Couat's service. He paid my wages. The Count had apartments in the Rue de Monceau, No. 3. I have often driven Mrs. Hope there. I used to take the car riege to a neighbouring street, so that it would be out of sight. When the carriage was required, the porter of the Count's house called me. Mrs. Hope used to re main two or three hours in the Count's house in the Rue de Monceau. I have seen the Count handing Mrs. Hope to her carriage. She often gave me orders where I was to meet her with the carriage the next day. Some times I took her to Mr. Hope's house on the Quai d'Orsay. At other times I did not. I seldom fetched her from Mr. Hope's house. She used to enter the carriage a few doors distant. During the summer of 1850 I drove her to no place but the Rue Monceau. I have driven her to No. 20 in the Bois de Boulogne, in the quarter of St. James. I drove her there every day during the summer. Mons. Aguado had rented it for ayear.___ I saw the Count there each time I went there. airs. Hope used to remain one, two, or three hours. They spoke in E❑glish and I very seldom understood them. Once I heard him call her "Mathilde." I told the Count Aguado that Mrs. Hope asked me questions every day, and tkat I did not know how to awwer her. The questions were as to the count's con duct in respect of women, and what amusements he took. The Count raid, "You know my affairs, I leave it to you." I was at Trascates, at Havre, in July, 1852. The Count was there. Madame Hope was there also. I often took lettars from the Count to Madame Hope, in Paris. I only took a box at Havre. Cross-examined by the Attorney-General—l was in the service of Louis Marcie, who let out carriages, and used to drive the Count Aguado. The Count did not discharge me because I drove other persons about in his carriage for money. He discharged me because I was five minutes too late. The Count refused me a charac ter to the Duke d'Albufera, because I had a bad head. I was imprisoned for beating a former master. I never said the Count had prevented my getting a situation, and I would pay him out for it. Mr. Hope, the plain tiff, took me into his service in No►ember last, It is about six weeks or a month ago when I first communi cated what I knew about Mrs. Hope. I made no state ment to any one before the end of November, or the beginning of Decesnber. I never told Laindier " I knew why I was taken into Mr. Hope'■ service ; it was because I had driven Mrs. Hope." I never told him I knew nothing against Mrs. Hope, but I would serve Mr. Hope for his money. I never said to Liandier it would be worth 20,000 f. to me. I drove Mrs. Hope to the house in t'ua Bois de Boulogae about three times a Is eek. She asked me almost every day whlt the Count's conduct was:. I always took care to tell her the contrary of the fact—his conduct was very bad. I always told her it wai very good. There are three c )achinsn in Mr. Rope's service. I left service to go to Mr. Ilope'e. The wage 3 aro better, and there is more tranquillity. Before I went to Mr. Hope I did not go to Madame Hope and tell her what I was going to do. I (lid go to Malame Hope before I entered Mr. [lope's service. Mrs. Hope expressed her surprise, and did ad she could to prevent my going to Mr. Hope. I never said to her, " I ain a man of money, and will not open my mouth without it." I never spoke about money. Liandier pressed me to see Madame Hope and the Count Aguado, and said I could have what I liked. Re-examined by Sir F. Thesiger—Liandier had been Mr. Hope's coachman. He left Mr. Hope's service to go to Madame's. Liandier was the "secret commis sioner" of Madame Hope. He tried to prevent my en tering the service of Mr. Hope. Liandier took me to Madame Hope, and made mo wait till she was dressed. Madame Hope said, " You must not go to serve my husband—l will not have it ;it is impossible. If 3ou go into Mr. Hope's service, lam a lost woman." The Count Aguado would not see the when Madame Hope wished him. Liandier was present when Madame Hope used the words. Louis Granjot examined by Mr. work fur my father, who is a gardener in the Bois de Boulogne, in Paris. I have worked for tne Count Aguado in 1880 or 1851. Tallendie often came there.' M. Aguado used to come in his carriage, and Madame very often followed hire. I never saw them in the same carriage. They almost always came there at the same time. I cannot say exactly how long they remained—sometimes an hour in the day—sometimes longer. Cross-examined by Serjeant Wilkins—l shall be 20 next September. My father used to work as a gar dener for the Count Aguado. I have seen the lady. I did not know her. She was pale in the face—a very pretty woman. She has never been pointed out to ins since. I have never seen her portrait. She was thin. I was asked to become a witness on the Bth of this month by Mr. Hart. No one but his interpreter was with Mr. Hart. I expect nothing for coming here. I have had nothing. I can earn three francs a day at home. Mr. Hart brought me here to the Hotel an dier. I saw other witnesses there. I did not see Tal landie until this day in Court. I know the Count Aguado. I have been - at his house. He is a dark gen tleman. Re examined by Sir F. Theaigsr—lt was the Count's house, and not the Tiscount'u. I have seen him there nearly every day. By Serjeant Wilkins—The Count had dark brown moustaches and beard. By Sir F. Thesiger—l know the Count very well—the Count Olympe Aguado. Mary Anne Caram, examined by Mr. Phipson—l am chambermaid at the Pavilion Hotel, Folkestone. I re member Mrs. Hope being it the hotel in 1851. She arrived on the sth ofJune, by the 7 o'clock train. Her maid was with her. She selected two bed-rooms, 58 and 59, on the second floor. I had shows her other bed rooms. The rooms 58 and 59 were at the end of the passage on the second floor. Then, were double doors between the rooms. Mrs. Hope occupied 59. I saw the Count Aguado on the 6th ; he occupied 58. There were two beds in 53, one stood to the left ; the other, the smaller one, before the communicating door. On the morning of the 6th I noticed this bed bad been removed from the door. The doors were kept locked. A piece of wood was shown to me which bad been broken off the door. There was no key kept in the door, Mrs. Hops and the Count Aguado occupied those rooms all the time they stayed at the hotel. They both left on the 9th by the boat to Boulogne. Cross-examined by Serjeant Wilkins—The Count de Morny was there at. the same time. I made an affidavit in this case. I never told the people who came to take my affidavits about his being there. I did not say the Count de Morny was there. He was the companion of the Count Aguado on that visit. He came with him, and went away with him. They tools their meals to gether, and occupied the same sitting room. In June, 1851, the hoes° was not undergoing repairs. They were finished. I swear that. I cannot swear all the workmen bad left, but I believe they had. I did not state to Mrs. Hope as the lower rooms were undergoing repairs we were obliged to put some of-our guests in the upper floors. We had not been compelled in conse tqhuaetn s c p e r that n f g. Ltuor Luring; theirso ns e stayof t h s e et u e r e a s t l a p u e p rs stairsg e d r u e ri d n e g . taiusel in consequence of the rough state of the sea. I spoke about the piece of wood to the gentlemen who t Kok my affidavit. I will swear that. My affidavit was road or,r to me. I did not complain that what I have said about Count de Morny had baen omitted from my affidavit. Mr. Hart came to me. I have not seen him in company with Mr. Hope. I don't know Mr. Hop.. I only saw the Count Aguado at the hotel once. Anne Swan, examined by Sir F. Thesiger—My name was Baker. lam now married. I was a housemaid at the Pavilion Hotel, Folkestone. I was housemaid by day and chambermaid by night. I remember Mrs. Hope coming to the hotel in the summer of 1851. The Count an is ek ittt k ee g cp uado came the same night, about 11 o'clock. I I sh owedo a sked adjoininghwhi e m h re. r t e o I r u o s o iarr m soo.wo 4 Hem 3 d , :, which he did not approve of. thehim 58, wr o om roomenwga:gs. engaged. . 11 H e I d e saidiadskneoidtt was engaged by Mrs. Hope for some friend of here, as I understo o d. T he Count said ho thought it must be for him, and he should take it. He occupied the room while he was at the hotel. Rooms 53 and 59 are the two last rooms at the end of the passage on the second floor. There are double doors co:nmunicating between 53 arra 59. There were two beds in 53—one a small brass bed before the door. I observed the next morning that the larger bed had been elept in. The smaller bed had been removed from the door. Off the door next 58 a piece of wood had been broken, because the key bad been lost. I picked up a piece of wood that was broken off the door. Cross-examined by the Attorney-General—lnquiries were first made of me, I think, in March, 1854. I have made no affidavit. The weather was very rough when Mrs. Hope and the Count were there. They were de tained there on that account. The repairs were after thin. The workmen were then building a new wing to the house. Ido Rot remember much about these cir camstances till 1854. Room 43, where I showed the Count to first, is in the same passage, a little further off. He was asked if he would like to see any other, and he said he would see the room engaged by Madame Hope. I do not know that he had two servants with him. No servant slept in his room. I only saw one servant. If he had had a grooin there he could not have slept in the house. The brass bed was a very small bed—a child might move it. Thornae Walsh, examined by Mr. Bavill— I am now a farmer hi the county Mayo. I was a night porter at the Pavilion Hotel for many yeare. I wee; so iu 1851. I recollect Mrs. Hope coming there in the summer of 1851, and the Cutlet Agua•lo cowing the same night be the mail train. She occupied 59—the Count occupied 53. It was my duty to be up during the night to look after the lights. There was a small ga=s-light opposite 53. In the course of the night, between twelve and one, I went to that light. I heard voices in 59. Iht and the voce cf a gentleman. I could not ray whose ;it was in 59. lam quite sure it was a man's voice. I heard Mrs. Hope's voice also in the same room, 59. Cress.exa,mined by Mr. sergeant Wilkins—l left the Pavilion on the let of March, 1852. I could hear what they said quite plain, but I could not understand their language ;it was the French language. I went to put the gas-light out. It was my business to do it. I made an affidavit in this case at a lawyer's at Westport, in Ireland. Mr. Hart took my affidavit. Mr. Topp came to me a month before Mr. Hart. He came for informa tion iu this business. I have never seen Ur. Topp since. When I walked up the passage that night, I walked quite "aieey." , (Laughter.) I never mentioned this story to any man or woman till I mentioned it to Topp. I may have mentioned it to my wife if I was drawn into it. (Laughter.) Mr. Topp said nothing to me about 1001. When I first heard them speaking in the room they were speaking loud. Mark Richards, examined by Mr. Phipson—l am a Custom-house agent at Folkestone. From 1344 to 1852 I was head porter at the Pavilion Hotel. In June,lBsl, Mrs. Hope, the Count Aguado, and the Count de Morey, were at the hotel. They all left on the 9th of June, 1851. That was a Monday. On the Sunday afternoon, the Count said that as the weather was mo derating, if it should be fine in the morning, they should cross by the morning boat. Finding the weather was better, I called the Count Aguado before five o'clock. He opened his door, and said if the weather were finer, he would cross to Bou logne. He put his drawers on, and came into the corridor, and looked out of . the window. We then went back to his room. I went to the door, which was open. The Count Aguado passed through those doors. I heard a conversation in 59. Ido not understand French, but I understood enough to know that they would cross the water. The Count told me to call his servant. I did so. He was sleeping in No. 63, the floor above. I knocked twice before he heard me. There was no ser vant in 53 when I called the Count. No person to my knowledge slept in the small bed in 58. I afterwards went up with the boots, and assisted in the packing. The double doors were then open. The Count was not dressed. Mrs. Hope and the Count were talking from one room to the other. She had not her gown on. She was dressing. They both left that morning. Cross-examined by the A.ttorney-General—The Count was very well known at the Pavilion Hotel ; so was Mrs. Hope. He always behaved like a gentleman to me. The Attorney-General—We know what that means. (Laughter.) Cross-examination continued —The first time I men tioned having seen the door open 1:43 in March last year. I mentioned it to a gentleman interested in this case. I will not mention the gentleman's name. I first mentioned the matter to Mr. Breach, the landlord of the Pavilion. The packing was going on in both rooms. Ii believe Mrs. Hope's !maid was in her room. Mr. Breach said to me, "He thought the man had a bad wife, and it-was the duty of every one who could to give evidence, to throw light on it." The Attorney-General—l don't know if it's true, but are you fond of billiards, races, and such amuse ments Witness—l am not fond of billiards. The Attorney-General—Well, fond of races then ? Witness—l was at a donkey-race lastyear—(laughter) and never was at any other except the Folkestone races once. Sir F. Thesiger—That closes the plaintiff's case, my lord. The court then adjourned till to-morrow, when the Attorney-General will open th• case for the defence. DOWILL AND OTHERS V. THIS GENERAL STEAM NA.VIGA. TIC4I 00112 ANY.--COLLISION. _ _ The trial of this case Witi resumed this morning. Sir F. Thesiger summed up the evidence for the defence. Mr. M. Chambers, in reply, contended that the brig was, according to the evidence, in a proper position, and hal shown a sufficient light, according to the Admiralty regulations, and if a proper look-out had been kept on board the stc:►finer she -inti,t have been seen. It was very negligent of the captain of the Trident to go at the rate of seven knots an hour on such a night. Mr. Justice Erle, in summing up, put two questions to the jury : Ist, was the accident occasior.ed by any negligence on the part of the plaintiffs in not showing a sufficient light for a proper length of time, so as to have prevented the collision ? and, 2dly, could the defendants, by the use of ordinary care and skill, Lave avoided the accident ? The jury retired for about two hours, and on their re turn into court found, as to the first question, that the plaintiffs were to blame for not continuing to show a light until the danger was passed ; and as to the second question, that the steamer was to blame in going so fast on, so dark a night, but that the accident was unavoidable when the vessels were within two ships' length of each othc r. His lordship said that as they seemed to throw some blame upon both parties, he would put another question to them. Did the collision arise from unavoidable acci dent, and were both equally to blame ? The jury found that the preponderance of blame was on the steamer. His lordship said that he should order a verdict for the plaintiffs, with leave to move to enter a ♦erdict for the defendants in case the court should — be of opinion that the facts fund by the jury - were in favour of the defendants.

Before Sebastopol, Jan. 27, 1855. My Lord Duke,—l have the satisfaction to acquaint your grace that the weather continues flue. There are severe frosts at night ; but the cun shines brightly through the day, and there is an absence of wind, which, whilst it continued, added considerably to the sufferings of the troops. Every exertion is making by public transport, and in dividually, in getting huts up ; but this is a most diffi cult operation, and the ground is still so rotten that it is a most arduous labour to pass along it. The extremely confined space of Balaklava, and vast accumulation of stores, has obliged me to erect huts at some distance outside the town Lr their reception.

The length of the trunk line from Marchiennes to the terminus on the Meuse is 384, miles, the branch to Mo rialm6 8} miles, and the branch t• Lanefle 34 miles. These two branches and 12 miles of the trunk line were opened for traffic on the Ist of December, 1848. The trunk line of the terminus at Vireux, on the Meuse, was opened for traffic in August last, and the branch to C on- Yin, n miles, on the 6th of June. The branch from Walcourt to St. Lambert on the 20th of Dee., 1853, was opened, and thence to Florennes on the 12th of July, 1354, together 111 miles ; and the branch from Froidmont to Philippeville, 3 miles, was opened on the 20th of November last. These three last-named branches have a net income of 8,0001. a year for 50 years, gua renteed by the Belgian Government, by whom any de ficit is to be made up. The whole length of the trunk line and branches exceeds 63 miles. The capital of the company was stated in the original prospectus to be 620,0001., but, owing to some alterations required by the Belgian Chambers and some important suggestions for improving the line, the shareholders had assen t e d t o increase the capital to 1,000,0001. Beyond the 620,0001. of original share capital, the remainder of the capital is entitled to preferential dividend. There are 9,979 101. preference shares entitled to Si per cent. per annum, and also to participate in the dividends whenever the profits allow 5 per cent. to be paid t• the holders of original shares. The debentures amount to ' 140,6401., of which 105,5201. are at 5 per cent., way able in July, 1863, and the remainder at 54 per cent. per annum, repayable in July, 1859. To this amount remains to be added 160,0001. raised in Belgium to eomplete the three guaranteed branches, for which de bentures for 200,000/. were created, bearing interest at 4 per cent. The whole amount of the 8,0001. guaran teed by the Belgian Government is pledged to the cre ditors under this loan, while the company have bouad themselves to devote 9001. annually out of their general receipts as a sinking fund, which will redeem the whole of this debt in 56 years. Those sums amorist together to 1,020,4301. The annual fixed liabilities of the com pany amount to 12,6961. on the debentures and prefer ence shares, to 8,9001. on the loan of 160,0001. and sink ing fund, and 3,0001. rent on 150 trucks redeemable next December by payment of 8,7001., the December follow ing 7,5001., until in 1859 the redemption money will be reduced to its lowest figure, 3,9001. Those annual lia bilities amount to 24,696/., but 8,000/. of this must be considered as an advance, to be repaid as the account with the Government is settled, and is therefore not an annual charge, while the rent of the 150 trucks is re deemable at any time, thus reducing the actual fixed annual liabilities on the main line and unguaranteed branches to 13,596/. The accounts show a profit of about 2,8001. on the half-year ending the 31st of Decem ber last. The traffic has made a rapid stride within twelve months in consequence of the various additions made to the line during that period. The last three months of 1853 produced 6,493/., and the corresponding months of 1854, 12,5031., or at the rate of 50,496/. per annum. The last month of the year produced 4,5181., or at the rate of 54,216/. per annum, in spite of the disad vantages of a new line of great competition with the es tablished traders on the river, and of the more serious evil of a greatly deficient rolling stock, which latter will confine the traffic to about 1,5001. a-week as its utmost limit of development. An agency has been established at Charleville to supply the coal consumers of that neigh bourhood. The success of this measure is satisfactory, and will no doubt ultimately defeat the opposition of the boatowners. - The further development of the traffic is limited by the want of rolling stock both in locomotives and trucks, while its proceeds are wasted by the payment of 3,0001. a-year for the use of 150 trucks. Other objects, independent of the original scheme, have presented them selves. The great increase of traffic over the portion of the company's line at Charleroi will probably compel the directors to lay down an additional line of rails to join the Belgian State line. A junction must also be made with the industrial line, in-connection with the Louvain and Charleroi Railway. The object of this line is to connect all the collieries with the State line and the Sambre and Meuse Railway, which by that means will be able to trans port the coal direct to Vireux without the labour, incon venience, or expense of shifting it by carts to the Char leroi station. The fall benefit of this improvement cannot be realised unless a station is made at the point of junction near Charleroi. The meeting will have to consider the propriety of raising now capital for the purposes above indicated, or of delaying a dividend on the original shares until the proceeds of traffic have sup plied the necessary funds. MADRAS. The directors of this company have just issued their report. It states that during the past year large addi tions have been nude to the strength of the engineering stag and the whole line from Madras to Eeyporo, on the Malabar coast, is now occupied, and under survey or in course of construction. The cost of the works of the railway, so far as they have yet proceeded, has fiden within the estimate. From the last accounts the earth works and bridges of the first 50 miles from Madras !nay be regarded as completed, and consideratle pro gress has ben made in laying down the permanent way, and erecting station buildings. There is reason to ex pect that the railway will be finished as far as the Arcot or Wallajanuggur station, say 60 miles, during the pre sent year. 1 locomotive superintendent has been ap pointed, with a stall' of workmen. The first locomotive engines, with the pattern passenger carriages and sup plies of rolling stock materials, are now on their way out ; and orders are in course of execution here fur ad ditional engines and materials to complete a rolling stock equal to the requirements of 120 miles of railway. The allotment of the shares of the extension capital of 500,0001. has been completed. The amount paid en this account to the treasury of the East India Company on the 15th of January was muck in excess of the stipu lated sum ; and the replies received from shareholders leave no doubt of the balance of the 250,0001. required being also forthcoming when due. The capital account to the 30th of Jule in India, and to the 31st of Decent ber, 1854, in England, shows that 574,6441. had been received, and 258,9021. expended, leaving a balance of 315,742/.
