" We have examined the half-year's books and accounts; they correspond, and are correct. " The amount of the expenditure in the 6 months car ried to the debit of the suspense account of extension of sidings and stations has been 17,4891. Os. 4d., and the amount carried to tho debit of suspense account of plant has been 20,7111. 11s. The total amounts at the debits of suspense account, sidings, and stations is now 31,008/. 16s. 3d., and tiat at tie debit of suspense account of plant is 44,778/. 9s. 10d.; and these two sums will be recom mended by the directors to be carried, with the sanction of the shareholders, to the debit of the proper accounts in the capital ledger. " The balance of the cost of relaying a portion of the line—viz., 7,4971. 17s. 3d., alluded to in our last report, has been charged to the current revenue, as well as th e us ual proportion of the outstanding bad-debt account. " THOMAS CLOSE. " ALEX. IIoTES. " Feb. 6, 1855." " - REPORT. The half-yearly accounts now submitted show a net revenue for the six months ending December 31, 1854, after de duction of interest on loans, and all other preferential charges of £171,748 1 2 Add the surplus at June, 30th, 1851 197 7 3 Balance available for dividend From this sum, the directors recommend that a dividend for the half-year, at the F rate of 5 per cent, per annum, be de- Kclared, amounting on 6,771,2891.105. to 169,282 4 9 171,945 8 5 Leaving ,to .be carried over to next half -79". _ _ £2,663 3 8 The dividends for the last five years haVe been, in each year, at the following rates per cent. :-1850, 3i ; 1851, 4# ; 1852, 31 ; 1853, 4i ; 1854, 4g. " The increase in the gross revenue for the half-year, over the same period in 1853, is 3,3711. Bs. 6d. " The following table shows the actual and relative values of the traffic for the two periods : Half-Year ending 1 !Increase Decrease Dec., 1853. Dec., 1354. in 1854. in 1854. Miles open.. ..... . ~. 251 267 15 Miles run 1,221,938 1,316,002 94,064 £ £ £ £ Passengers 297,579 295,465 2,114 Goods 82,578 87,648 5,050 Sundries. . 7,113 7,549 3 436 Total receipts 387,290 390,662 3,372 Working expenses 138,213 143,691 5,478 Taxation 20,002 20,575 573 Net revenue 229,075 226,395 2,680 "It will be observed that the increased revenue arises, principally, under the heads of goods and sundries, there being a diminution in the receipts from passengers. The extraordinary amount of traffic, and unusually large re ceipts, however, attributable to the camp at Chobham and naval review, during the first eight weeks of the corre sponding' period of 1853, will at once account for this smaller receipt from the passenger traffic. " For it will be remarked, that in 1853 the six months revenue to December exceeded that of 1852 by no less a sum than 53,2951. A comparison- of the revenue from June to December, 1854, with the corresponding period of 1852, will therefore afford a more fair criterion of the steady, progressive improvement of the company's condi tion and prospects. The result of such a comparison will show, that the gross receipts of that half-year in 1854 ex ceeds those of 1852 by 56,6671. It is true that the line to Andover, 15 miles, has been opened during the last six months, but the traffic on that line hay hardly yet been developed, and the additional receipts are, as yet, not of an amount materially to affect this increase. " The working expenses of 1854 exceed those of 18 3 by re47B/., which is attributable to the continued higher rate of wages and rise in price of the various articles of con sumption ; and the locomotive accounts show the number of 94,064 additioral mils iun during the same period. "In comparing the sums charge 1 under tire head of working expenses, from June to December, 1854, with those of 1852, the excess at first sight appears to be large —viz., 28,6921. on 56,6671. improved receipts, or about 50 per cent. ; but, on referring to the accounts, it will be seen that in the items of coals and coke alone the increase from the rise in price is upwards of 9,0001. and 7491. 17s. 3d. is charged in 1854 for renewal of part of the permanent way, while no item on such account appears in 1851% " The directors have debited the revenue account for the last half-year with a sum of 2,5001., under the head of steam-packet renewal fund,' and they recommend to the proprietors that a sum shall be charged against revenue in each half-year for the future, to form a fund out of which the steam-packets may be kept up in an efficient state. "The works between Andover and Salisbury are pro ceeding in conformity with the contractor's engagements. i The directors, however , h ave found t necessary for the completion of the line to renew the comp an y 's com pu lsor y owers of purchase, and have introduced a bill into Par liament in the present session accordingly. "The improvement of the company's wharf frontage at Nine-elms, and the extension of the goods station there, have for borne time past appeared to the board most de sirable. But as these objects could not be effected without farther Parliamentary powers they have been postponed until those powers could be obtained, as they now may be, without special expense. The directors have, therefore, comprised within the bill po w e rs f or acco mplishing these purposes. " They have availed themselves of the same opportunity to consolidate into stock the amount paid on the 7 per cent, preference capital, and to repeal the power of issuing more of those shares, and of calling more money on those already issued. " Provisions have also been inserted in this bill for de claring and simplifying the ordinary share an d l oan capi tal of the company; but as these, and all other provisions in it, must come under the consideration of the proprie tors at a future meeting, the directors feel that no more than this general notice of them is now necessary. "In the report to the shareholders in August last the dire ctors called their attention to the state of the locomo tive and carrying stock account, and also to the account for stations and sidings. "In each of these departments considerable sums had been expended since the shareholders' vote in the Fe bruary proceeding, rendered imperatively necessary by the greatly-increasing traffic of the company. The directors then recommended that, as such outlays were legitimately charges against capital, they should for the future be so charged, until the rolling stock of the company and the sta tions and sidings be made adequate to the requirements of the traffic. With this objectit was suggestedthat the directors should lay before the shareholders fullparticulars of those re • quirements, that a vote might be taken at the next half-yearly meeting for such an amount as might be deemed ne cessary. " The directors have attentively considered this subject, and as regards the working stock of the company have carefully gone into the question with reference not only to the existing traffic and the requirements from its probable increase, but also on a comparison with the principle acted on in other companies in their mode of dealing with the same subject. " The question is one of considerable difficulty, and as to new taking a precise sum at which the directors could undertake to close that account, they are of opinion that such a statement, although made on the best possible data now attainable, could not be s a ti s f ac t or il y re li e d u p on . "The directors, therefore, now recommend that the sums expended during the year 1854, and standing to the debit of the two accounts,`suspen se account plants, 44 ,7781. 9s. 10d. and extension of st a ti ons an d s idi nes suspense account,' 31,0081. 16e. 34., should be charge'd against the capital of the company. .And they suggest, that, for the future, the directors should take a vote as to a ? 7 txtrther sums, which, on a proper explanation of the commaces, the directors may deem it advisable to re chard tu t l t t e he shareholders should in like manner be sek ., eforrin capital account of the company. meeting of st e te e :he report of the directors to the special to the North De;etael'irsY. en the 25th of October 1850, as will be recollecteAll'e (then entitled the Taff Vale), it the sum of about 70,000 it iw as stated that if in addition to 7,080 shares held by th e oc, then already paid up on the was paid, the North Devoranrw'anV. a further sum of 30,0004 pieta their line, and thus renVer4tha in a position to corn • entire investment of tlie company a remunerative one. le t t special meeting ance with the terms sanctioned the course recommended b payment of the 30,000/. ; and in accorTl e board as to the has been of the proposed arrangement that ser e h as sin counted for to the North tDeetrenshCoarraehp.a.indy since be eu ea from time to time reported "It was estimated at the time that thiTa.rrangenaent was made, that 1 3 1. 10e. per share , paid up, would n ; but th e to complete the line enable North Devon C01131)3 ult i ma t e ex penditure having exceeded this esti ma t e, fur. 21 10 per share, completing th e sing to Cher calls, amounting • 5. authorised, have since been made, b u t entire 161. per share which calls have not been pail on the 7,0 80 shares. 1 he North Devoneveral month line has now been open s " d to it, a dividend ma ss y and a fixed rent being guarant ee be exp ec t e d t o be declared at the ensuing half-yearly meet • ing o f th a t company .

" The directors have recently entered on negotiations with the Brighton and South Coast Company, having for their object the giving to the company the advantage of a west-end terminus, and also for accommodating the traffic of the West-end and Crystal Palace Railway Company. " Believing that these negotiations may result in an r agreement beneficial to all parties, the directors have joined • in the promotion of a bill before Parliament, so framed as to Authorial the three companies to carry into effect all ~~ ~~-- --- ~~-:ice-_ ~ - -. ~- - _~~~~, THE SUN, LONDON, necessary arrangements. Should these negotiations be concluded, a special meeting of the proprietors will be called to give the subject their consideration and sanction. " Numerous notices of schemes and works, affecting the company's property and interests, were given last autumn, as about to be prosecuted during the present session of Parliament, but the most of them have failed to make good their preliminary deposits. The remainder will receive the watchful attention of the board. "The directors who retire by rotation at this time are William James Chaplin, Esq., M.P., and the Hon. Ralph Heneage Dutton, and they have given the usual notices of their intention to offer themselves for re-election. " The seat resigned by Sir William Heathcote, Ban., in April last, yet remains vacant. A question respecting it is pending for the decision of the Court of Queen's Bench, at the instance of Mr. Snell. One of the auditors, Thomas Close, Esq., also retires by rotation at this time, and will offer himself for re election. "By order of the Court of Directors. " Feb. 8, 1855." " L. CRUMBLE, Secretary. REPORT OF THE T,OCOMOTIVE AND CARRIAGE SUPERINTENDENT. " Locomotive Department, Nine Elms, Jan. 30, 1855. " Gentlemen,—l beg to annex the statements of accounts for the half-year just expired, together with tables set ting forth the number of miles travelled, the cost of work ing, and summary of plant. It will be seen on examina tion that there bas been a considerable increase in the train miles, the goods train being at 17 per cent., and the passenger 34 per cent. greater. The cost per mile of work ing both trains and engines is less than the corresponding period of last year, not withstanding.the increased price of fuel. " In consequence of the great influx of waggons caused by the increase of traffic with the northern lines in coals and goods (and which will in all probability continue to increase as the means for developing it are extended), the goods mileage has been much greater and the goods train heavier, and this is the cause of the advance of the average consumption of fuel per mile. During the half-year four engines have been constructed out of current working ex penses, and I am happy to be able to inform you that the whole of your plant, including carriages and waggons, is in good and effective condition, such portions as have succes sively become exhausted and worn out having been restored and ~ renewed. i t considerable saving in the price of coke will result from the arrangements made to recluse the cost of freight for the current half-year." SOUTH-EASTERN. Mr. A. Beattie, who has been elected to the vacant seat in the direction o f th e com p an y crea ted by the re signation of Sir J. Campbell, states in a letter to the shareholders that the past management of the company has entailed a large amount of unprofitable expenditure, both in capital and revenue ; that profitless extensions and guarantees have depressed the property, and that the almost constant attitude of hostility in which the company has stood to adjacent companies has increased the mischief done by those extensions. He thinks the time has arrived for entering into a mutual understanding with the Brighton Company, and for making such ar rangements with other neighbouring companies as might relieve the South-Eastern Company in some measure from the heavy burden of the Reading, Guildford, and Reigate line. He intimates, that he is opposed to any measures involving interminable expenditure on capital account, and recommends a pacific policy with their neighbours, with a view to develope the traffio and im prove the property of the company.

In the House of Representatives ef the Belgian Le gislature of the sth of February, Mr. Tesh called the attention of the members to a grave and important fact which had been stated at a meeting in London of the shareholders of the Great Luxembourg Railway. Mr. nuns said,-1 take this opportunity of calling the attention of the Government to some important facts which were stated at a meeting of shareholders of the Luxembourg Railway, held at the end of December last. These facts compromise not only the company, but like wise the interests, and even the honour of our country. At that meeting it was affirmed thatithe Luxembourg Company had created a fund of 10,000 shares to be dis tributed to the press, and to influence persons in Belgium. Although the Government and Administration are both put out of the question, yet these allegations are, notwithstanding, of a very grave character, and are a scandalous violation of the statutes of the company. There is no article in them which could authorise a dis tribution of 10,000 shares in order to corrupt public men in this country. Now, what would be the result of such a distribution ? If the funds were really distributed in this way, the morality of the country would be destroyed, and the undertaking itself would be deeply compromised. dad, on the other hand, if those who are assumed tohave charge of such a distribution keep it to themselves, they then rob and plunder the company. In both cases it is • highly improper, and it requires that the Government should fully investigate the matter. lam not disposed to give any credence to this pretended liberality of giving 10,000 shares to the press or to influential persons ; but the public assertion of such a fact is apt to create doubt, and therefore it is the duty of the Government to inves tigate the subject, and to show to the country the worth lessness of such accusations. I will quote one fact among many others. The chairman and the engineer have had the concession of a line called the "Grand Junction." It is quite evident that the obtaining of this concession has not cost them a single shilling. They may, perhaps, have had to pay for plans and so forth, but nothing more. Well, it has been ascertained at the meeting in London, that the persons who obtained this concession had brought it to the company, and bad re ceived 25,0001. for it ; and it was likewise stated that this sum was destined to pay the costs of engineering, and other charges of a similar kind. But there never has been anything to pay to the official engineer, nor have there been any other costs of a like nature incurred. I say, then, that these facts are of a grave character, because they concern the honour and probity of the country. It is well known that Belgium is a country where the Governments, and the administration of public affairs generally have been hitherto free from any such acts or charges of corruption and pre varication. Notwithstanding this consideration, after such assertions as there have been made in London, foreigners might entertain a very different opinion ef us. 100,0001. for the press, and 25,0001. for a concession which cost nothing, are facts which would induce people to believe that we are a nation of robbers. But the real truth is, the interest of the Luxembourg Company have never required the least expense to obtain the advan tages which have been conceded to it. The Grand Junc tion has cost them nothing at all ; and the secret of the affair is, that certain persons enrich themselves at the expense of the shareholders, and at our national reputa tion. These things cannot be tolerated, and I protest against them. I advise the Minister to do what he can to clear up the affair, and to take proper measures in order that the like should not happen again. The MINISTER of PUBLIC WORKS made the following reply : " I am happy to hear the observations made by the Hon. Mr. Tesb. lam as deeply convinced as he is that it is important both for the morality of the Admi nistration, and the dignity et the country, that the statements made at the London meeting in December last should be completely elucidated. It is quite true that in the discussion which then took place the direc tors, who are still in power, declared that in respect to the sums in question no portion of them whatever had been given to any public functionary or agent of the Administration, of whatever , grade or rank. I think, however, that such a declaration is not sufficient, and that it is of moment to the Government to follow up with serious attention the inquiry now going on in Lon don. Mr. Tub is aware that from the beginning I have net lost sight of this affair, and that a very detailed and minute account of all the facts has been given to me. Another meeting is to take place in London on the 13th of February inst., and another at Brussels on the 24th. At both meetings there must necessarily be discussions as to what has been asserted, and the facts, if true, would be of the most momentous gravity to all the persons in volved in the transaction. As matters have turned out, I am almost glad of the difficulties which have always existed between the Luxembourg Company and my Ad ministration. When, not long ago, the Hon. Mr. De Moor asked how I intended to act with the Luxembourg Company I declared that when I shall have to treat with them I will take guarantees to prevent the works being again retarded or stopped. What has prevented the inspection from being more active and searching towards the company is that in its statutes it seems that there is no mention made of any paid agents. At this moment the company stands in a new position before the Govern ment. From the let of January their contract must be partly renewed. The delays for the execution of the works are long ago elapsed, and the company has not fulfilled its obligations to finish the half of the works on the line of Namur and Arlon before the Ist of January. If the Government ultimately submit to the Legislature a project of law to allow them further delays for the exe cution of the works, we shall take proper guarantees, for which we are the first to a c k now l e d ge th e necessity: and of which the house will be the judge." Mr. MALON said, that the question interested the House under another point of view, as the law of 1851 states that the Government i.s answerable for the pay ment of part of the works which the company have to execute. He likewise asked the Minister of Public Works to lay upon the table the translation of the report of the London meeting of December last. The MINISTER said he would do so on the next day. CORK AND BANDON. The report of the directors states that the receiptsfor the last six months show an increase of 3661. over those of the corresponding period of the previous year. The increase of traffic for the past year has principally arisen from merchandise and agricultural produce. The ac counts for the half-year show a profit of 7601. applicable for a dividend on the preference shares, and which profit is equal to 3 per cent, per annum ; but, considering the present financial position of the company, the directors do not feel justified in recommending its payment until arrangements have been made for liquidating the liabilities connected with the capital account.

The railway is to consist chiefly of a tunnel, and will be 4i miles in length ; but, as it is to pass under open roads or un covered ground through nearly three-fourths of the dis tance, there will be no tunnelling in the strict sense of the term, as the work will be built in an ordinary cut ting, which will be filled up as fast as eaoh portion is completed. [A.DTERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills have effected another cure of bad legs.—Mr. Mason, chemist, of Hastings, states in a letter to Professor Hol loway, that a relation of his, residing in Goodwin-street, Bloomsbury, Birmingham, was for several years afflicted with bad legs. He applied a variety of remedies, but to no purpose, as the wounds increased to an alarming ex tent. However, at last he tried Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and by the use of these never-failing remedies the virulence of the disease was quickly subdued, and by persevering with them for a time tikey effected a sound and permanent cure. —Sold by all vendors of medicine, and at Professor Holloway's establishments, 244, Strand, Loudon ; mad 60, Maidou•lane, Now York.
