A Poem. not thought it right to declare any dividend, yet, if the Pro prietors should be of opinion that it would be adviseable to di vide the small sum in hand, the Directors would not object, al though they had not thought it right to do so themselves, their being some little difference of opinion among them on the snb ject ; that being, however, the only subject on which any diffe rence of opinion subsisted. With respect to the great expense of the slip., Mr. Cubitt would give them every information hey might require ; and that, and other circumstances, would render it necessary to call fer more capital. Taking all the circumstances into consideration, it was expected that about fifty thousand pounds would be required. B e . sides the slips, whieh, it was calculated would cost them between 20,0001. and 30,000/. it was proposed to get rid of the levels crossing on the line; that was estimated to cost 5,003/. The joint station at London-bridge had cost more than they had expected, the sum they should have to pay being about 30,0001. besides the approach to the Railway from the Grange road, which would cost about 15,000/. The paragraph in the Report referring; to the South Eastern Company, was a matter of congratulation to the Proprietors. The Directors had felt that greater economy was practicable, and the arrangement entered into with the South Eastern Company was eminently calculated to effect this object. It was proposed that the whole locomotive establishment of the Croydon line, including work shops, tools, and stones, and everything excepting the car ria:zes and waggons should be taken an account of and et edited to the Company ; any Stock belonging to the South Eastern Company should be charged and credited in the same manner ; each stock would be worked together, and each Company would ply for its locomotive power in proportion to the use it had of it. This would be a great advantage to the Croydon Railway in its peculiar position with respect to its difference with the Greenwich Company, as to the tolls. Whether they had much or little business, their locomotive establishment would shrink or enlarge in proportion to it, and if they ran two trains or twenty, they would only have to pay for the number used. A clause in the agreement left it open to the Brighton Company to join it also, if it was found to answer in the working. By the agreement with the South Eastern Company there would be two locomotive managements, instead of three; and if the Brighton Company should join, there would only be one. With regard to the paragraph referring to the toll, he should merely observe that it was written before the meeting of the South Eastern Corn -piny. The arrangement had not been perrectly carried out, but the delay had not occurred from any objection to the terms of the modification, but from some miner arrangements about the payment of the duty ; the principle of the modification was not objected to. The formation of the approach from the Grange-road would afford them an opportunity of forming a goods and cattle station, which would prove a great advan tage to both Companies. With regard to the Directors, it was understood at the last meeting that six would be sufficient to conduct the liminess of the Company ; the two gentlemen retiring had consequently not taken any part in the affairs of the Company during the last six months, and they proposed that their vacancies should not be filled up. A PROPRIETOR asked whether the Bill for forming the ap proach from the Grange-road, had not been thrown out on Monday night last, in consequence of their not having corn pli!cl with the standing orders of the House. Mr. Bnactutt (the Solicitor of the Company) stated that the Bill was not thrown out, but was referred back to the Stand ing Orders' Committee, who would decide on it this evening. A short conversation ensued on this point, the Chairman explaining that the only reason the Bill had not yet been sub mitted to the Proprietors, was in consequence of its being neces sary to take certain preliminary steps, but it would not be pro • ceeded with without the concurrence of the Proprietors. With re gard to the retiring Directors, the Chairman also explained that there was no formal resolution for limiting them to six, but it was an understanding that that number would be sufficient to conduct the business of the Company. The CHAIRMAN having put the question that the Report be adopted, A PROPRIETOR slid he wished to know whether the account furnished in the Report included all the expenditure up to the present time ? The CHAIRMAN said it did not ; the account only reached to the 31st of January last. With respect to the proposal ad verted to of giving away the Croydon traffic, he would take this opportunity of observing, that, in so doing they would give away a traffic, the profit oa which amounted to upwards of 9,000/. yearly. In reply to a question from a Proprietor, The SECRETARY stated that the expenses of the London bridgei station we re b orne j o i nt l y an d equally by the two Com eanlsothebear South its Eastern portion p co an . re p s a , n t y he ca C m r e oy i d n o to n o a p n e d ration, Brighton.it would W of the expenses of that station. Mr. PARE said he understood that the station referred to would cost 30,0001. more than had been at first supposed. He desired to know was such the case ? The SECRETARY said the original estimated expenditure was I l 1,000/., to be borne equally by the three Companies. Thus each would have to incur an outlay of 37,0001. It was now found that the whole cost would amount to 250,0001., leaving about 83,0001. to be paid by each Company, thus causing the additional disbursement of the Company for this station to be about 46,0001. or 48,0001. It had never been expected that 37,0001. would cover all the expenses of the Co mpany on that head. The increased expenditure arose from creating increased accommodation at the stations, consisting of large warehouses ; and other appurtenances necessary to the ad vantageous working of the line. An. HoN. PROPRIETOR inquired of Mr. Robinson if the contract for the station was entered into. Mr. ROBINSON—Yes; and I think it is not probable the es timates will be exceeded. An HON.-PROPRIETOR asked what would be the consequence of a separation of the Companies? Tho CHAIRMAN said that in the event of such a contin gency, arbitrators were to be appointed to settle and apportion the expenses to be borne by each Company; but he did not conteinplate any such separation. An lioN. PROPRIETOR inquired how the Stet:on was to be paid for by the other Company ? The CHAIRMAN said that the premises were to be paid for at a price agreed on by both Comp an i es . A PROPRIETOR asked how was the expen se o f the,Grange road to be borne by each Company ? The CHAIRMAN said that the South Eastern Railway Com pany wished to have a cattle station, and though it was not ne cessary for them, they did not think it expedient to disagree with that Company, whose interests were so bound up with them on the subject. A PROPRIETOR asked what might be the cost. The CHAntatmst--32,000/. A PROPRIETOR said he apprehended the Report bound them to that expense, and he did not think that was right. The CHAIRMAN did not think it did. A PROPRIETOR suggested th a t it wou ld b e ex p e di en t to choose an auditor from the general body of Propriet o rs.-- ( Hear, hear.) He had no t th e l eas t d ou bt o f t h e i ntegr i ty of the Directors, but he did not think it right that an au ditor should be selected from that Board to check their own accou.ts.—( Hear, hear. ) The CHAIRMAN said that it was the duty of the Directors to manage the money items, and the auditor to be appointed would be proposed to the meeting. A PROPRIETOR said it is the duty of the auditors to look to the receipts, and that was very important. A PROPRIETOR asked if the expense of Grange -road was included in the 52,000/. ? The CIIAIRMA ' N—Yes. A PROPRIETOR suggolted it would be expedient to get the station removed as near as possible to London-bridge.—( Hear, hear.) It may prevent others from attempting a new line. The Report was then put from the Chair, and passed. James Whiski n , E sq . was t h en appointed ' a Director, and Richard Sterry, Esq., Auditor, ' • Mr. Lava- said he would propose that the surplus in the hands of the Directors, should not be divided. He did not think it worth while to divide so small a sum. They did not want a dividend of 6s. or 75., when in a short time they may be obliged to pay so many pounds. Mr. BERE said that he thought it would be very desirable to make a dividend. He believed there was a surplus of 11,0001., and he thought that those who had the brunt of the battle should now get something. They may be desirous to sell their shares, and he would therefore move as an amend ment to Mr. Levy's motion, that a dividend on the shares be declared. —( Hear, hear.) Mr. CAPEL seconded the motion. It was not like taking capital from stock that a dividend should be declared among bn t e h o e t d divideoSn h e a r e w a h i s o t l ?t d r dir s. etc laap W rp h e aa a rd t e w v e dt r oe e nhd m h_e t hey hff t e o e ab d r, e o ,sh . t . es i t t rh h .isi i g t if a t he did couldt y Mr. Latv - ir thought it would be deceiving themselves when they had 11,000/. only in hand, and were in expectation of being shortly called upon for 50,0001., to make any division of the 11,0001. The CHAIRM►N said that the sum being derived from traf fic, he did not see how it could be carried to the capital ac count. It might be borrowed for a time, but it would even. tually have to be divided. Mr. LEVY would not oppose the motion, although he did not like to be paying with one hand and receiving with another, If another slip should come they would have no money to go on with at all. In answer to various questions from Proprietors, The CHAIRMAN said that the Company had still power, under their old Acts, to borrow 43,0001., but that if it was found necessary to raise more money, it would mast likely be raised partly by the issue of new shares, and partly by the bor rowingof money; but the Directors had not as yet given the subject much consideration. A PROPRIETOR said that if the whole of the money in hand were divided it would make the dividend 6s. Bd. per share. The CHAIRMAN said that would leave no balance in hand. A PROPRIETOR thought it would be advisable to make the dividend as large as possible, and therefore he should move as an amendment that the dividend be 6s. Bd. per share. The amendment having been seconded. Mr. LEVY said, what are we to do if we have another slip? A PROPRIETOR—For goodness sake du not talk about slips, I hope we shall have no more of them. Ir. LEVY.—Why, we are told we are to have an earthquake next.—( Loud laughter.) A PROPRIETOR. wished to put it to the Chairman, as a pub lic man, whether he would recommend the division of this balance. What had occurred might take place again, and he contended that it was not just to place the sum expended on account of those accidents to a bye -gone account ;it ought to be abstracted from the annual receipts. He did not see in the account any charge for wear and tear of carriages. That surely ought to be taken into account before they declared a dividend. The CHAIRMAN said that his individual opinion was, that as a general rule, it was not wise to pay with one hand and receive with another. But it had always been the practice of Railway Companies to carry all sums received for traffic to the profit account, and to pay all costs of construction out of their pockets. It was a matter of no great importance, for they could not have the money both ways. A PROPRIETOR said, that the real fact was, that their profits were 1,000/., and their losses 21,000/., in consequence of the slips; and it was at the time when they had met with a loss of 20,0001. that they were about to declare a dividend. Such a course of proceeding was most inconsistent. The amendment for a dividend of 6s. Bd. was then put and carried by a large majority. The CHAIRMAN then stated that the dividend would be paid as soon as possible. A PROPRIETOR wished to know what was the amount of the Sunday traffic ? The CHAIRMAN said it might be ascertained at the office; and if any Proprietor wished to remit his share of it, others would be very glad to receive it.

LONDON AND CROYDON RAIL WAY COMPANY. The thirteenth Half-yearlz General Meeting of the Pro prietors of the London and Croydon Railway Company, to o k place yesterday at one o'clock, at the London Tavern, Bishop,. gate-street, W. A. Wilkinson, E.g., in the Chair. The seal of the Company was affixed to the list of the Pro prietors, and the advertisement calling the meeting having been read, The CHAIRMAN called upon the Secretary to read THE REPORT. " Gentlemen,—Since our last General Meeting your Direc tors have had to contend with difficulties of a most vexatious and unprecedented character, difficulties which not only could not be foreseen, but which could not fail to be seriously detri mental to the traffic of the railway, and, in consequence, they are obliged to submit a Report and statement of accounts very different from those which they had hoped they should have been enabled to present, and which the concluding paragraph of the last Report had, doubtless, led the Pi opaietor s to expect. " From the period of its opening to November last, then nearly two years and a half, the traffic of your line had never once been interrupted, not eves, by the partial closing of one rail, a matter of frequent occurrence on railways, although through the whole of that time the earthworks have been a constant source of trouble and expense; but on the 2d of that month, a land slip occurred at New-cross, by which many thousand tons of earth were thrown upon the line, so as to block it up, and entirely prevent the passage of the trains. "In the unfortunate position in which your Directors were placed by this circumstance, they felt it to be their duty to adopt the readiest measures, so that as little inconvenience as p ssible might be sustained by the Croydon and Brighton pas sengers; they were perfectly aware that the best arrangements they cold,' make could not but be attended with considerable discomfort to travellers, and no exertions were wanting on their part, Jr on that of your resident eng neer, and the other officers of the Company, to render the state of things as little annoying and uncomfortable as the nature of their misfortnne would admit. The slip took place at about nine o'clock in the evening, and before the first train of the next morning a path. way had been cut, boarded and sanded on the opposite slope, about 300 yards in length, for the purpose of enabling the pas sengers to walk past the obstruction from one train of carriages t another placed ready to receive them ; as this path, how ever, was necessarily very steep and exposed to the weather, omnibuses were likewise provided at the Dartmouth Arms in time for the first train, by which the passengers were con veyed to New -cross. This mode incurring a considerable loss of time, as well as great expense, was afterwards abandoned with the concurrence of the passengers, and a covered way was constructed lower down the slope by which they passed over with very slight inconvenience and delay. The most energetic measures were at the same time adopted to clear the lino under the advice of your consulting engir eer, Mr. Cubitt, who %est!, immediately on the spot, and by a large force of men working day and night, this was effected in about seventeen days, the trains again passed regularly, and your Directors had every reason tohope that they would continue so to do. On the 2d of December, however, another slip took place, which again blocked up the line until the 23d of that month. Again, on the 7th of January, an extension ;of the slip at New-cross covered both lines of railway, and from that time almost to the present, with scarcely an interval, one fall after another has oc curred, by which, although !through the greatest exertions of the officers of the Company, the means of traversing the line at the slip have always been .presented to the passengers, the traffic has been nevertheless greatly and seriously interrupted. Your Directors are conscious that the traffic of the Brighton Railway has suffered materially from this interruption, and they desire to bets: testimony to the great g od nature and forbear an .e with which the necessary inconveniences have been sub mitted to by all parties, and the readiness with which assist ance has been afforded by the Directors of the Companies on tither side of them. But the disasters on the Croydon Rail way have not been the only impediment to the development of the Brighton traffic. The unfortunate occurrences on thatillail way soon after its opening, by which the weekly receipts were reduced from 3,584/. to little more than half that amount, pre vious to the first obstruction on the Croydon line, have no doubt contributed largely to the defalcation of those receipts. " It mast be expected that in consequence of these inter ruptions to the traffic, and the bad state of the weather, the in come of your railway, both from fares and toll, has fallen very short of the former anticipation of your Directors, and that under these circumstances, the hope previously held out of a division of profits, at the present time would be likely to be dis appointed ; nevertheless, as will appear by the annexed account, the result of your own traffic for the last half-year, together with the toll received from the Brighton Company, have suf ficed to defray the ordinary expenses of the railway, and pay the interest of your borrowed capital ; and as the position of the Company is such that its income can scarcely fail to improve very considerably in the next six months, the Proprietors may perhaps be justified in div ding the remainder of the suns ac cumulated to the credit of the traffic account, to which course, if it -hould be desired, your Directors do not wish to snake any objection, since the only item fairly chargeable to this account is the depreciation of the Company's stock, which, under the circumstances above alluded to, may doubtless be safely deferred. " Your Directors regret to say that the serious character of the land slips at New-cross, ForestAill, and indeed throughout the cuttings on the inclined plane, together with the necessa rily great cost of removing these slips, and the attendant ex penses of working the traffic under the existing circumstances, will not only exhaust the whole of their available funds, but will render it necessary eventually to make amication to the Proprietors for a further advance of capital, which, six months ago, your Directors hoped that their arrangements had enabled them to avoid. Your Directors, however, trust that this appli cation will not be required until the resources of the railway have been still further developed. " Your Directors are happy to inform you that they have concluded an arran:ement with the South Eastern Company, for the j •Tint working and management of their locomotive power, upon the principle that the cost to each Company shall be in proportion to the use thereof. By this arrangement the economy and twhiel further b e etr e c b t e e d n , e a fi n t d w l h l e a c p c u r b u l e i c t s o a f t e h t i y s Company, t• i e t ot w ed ill be thus enabled, without unnecessary los s , to accommodate the quantity of its traffic to the operation of the e g s r s r e a n t t e i s a t ll p y o p s h s r a i o b t m l toll levied, or to be levied for the future, by the Greenwich Company. " Your Directors cannot allude to this subject without draw ing the attention of the Proprietors to the toll arrangement about to he concluded between the Northern and Eastern and Eastern Counties Companies. These Companies are somewhat similarly situated to the Croydon and Greenwich Companies, havini an agreement for a 4d. toll for a distance of 33 miles. The Eastern Counties Company is reported to have agreed to a reduction of this toll to 3d., 20., and 2d., for the first, second, and third class passengers respectively. between Ponders-end and London, which for the distance of the Eastern Counties Railway used, is equivalent to an average of less than id. per mile, while the present charge of the Greenwich Company to the Croydon is more than lid. per mile, and the contemplated charge more than 2id. per mile. The fact that the. Eastern Counties Company has seen the good policy of modifying their original agreement, is a strong proof of the soundness of the sews of your Directors upon this subject, and will, it is to be hope.!, sooner or later, carry conviction to the minds of the Proprietors of the Greenwich Railway. With a view to facilitate access to the Croydon and other lines from the western end of London, and to afford a goods and cattle station for the South Eastern Railway, which can not be so conveniently obtained at London -bridge, your Direc tors have entertained a proposition, for which the necessary Parliamentary notices have been given, to join the latter Com pany in procuring an.approach to your railway at Corbees lane, from the Grange-road, a spot about two miles from West minster-bridge. The Bill for this object, however, will be submitted to your consideration at a special meeting to be called for that purpose. " The Directors who go out by rotation, pursuant to the Com pany's Act of Parliam en t, are J ames Whiskin and John Lewis Ricardo, Esquires, who are eligible for re-election. " Your Directors have received the resignation of Newman Smith, Esq., and -have elected Charles Sedgfield Crowley, Esq., of Croydon, in his place. Your Directors have likewise received the resignation of Hebert Hollond, Esq , M. P., but as this gentleman, and John Lewis Ricardo, Esq., M.P., who goes out by rotation, have ceased to take any active part in the direction of your affairs during the past six months, in pursu ance of an understanding with the Proprietors that the number of Directors should be reduced, it is proposed that the va cancies occasioned by the retirement of these gentlemen shall not be filled up. " The vacancy among the Auditors, occasioned by the re signation of Henry Tudor, Esq., has been filled up by the elec tion of John Norbury, Esq., and Richard Sterry, Esq., is pro posed in the room of Charles Sedgfield Crossley, Esq., who has been elected a Director. 4. WILLIAM ARTHUR WILKINSON, Chairman." The meeting decided to dispense with the reading of the accounts, as each Proprietor had been furnished with a copy of them. Tee CHAIRMAN, in rising to move the reception of the Report, trusted he might be permitted to make a few observa tions, to explain to the meeting the manner in which he pro posed their proceedings should be conducted, and as the organ of the Directors, to lay before the meeting the view which the Directors entertained of the policy which the Company ought to pursue at the present crisis of their affairs. Ile trusted that the Report would be received and adopted at once, and then he proposed that they should proceed to discuss, with the Proprie tors, the various important matters on which the Directors had thought it proper to seek the opinion and advice of the Pro prietors. He trusted the Report would be received with as little discussion as possible, in order to save time. The Report had been drawn up in such a manner as not to pledge the Proprietors. In fact, the only part which could possibly pledge the Proprietors, was the paragraph relating to the arrange ment with the South Eastern Company, and he did not apprehend that there would be any Proprietor found. who would dissent from that arrangement. The Direc tors were most anxious to lay before the Proprietors their views of the general policy which the Company ought to pursue in this, which might be called the crisis, of their fate, for the time had at length arrived when, he trusted, they were about to reap the fruit of their labours. Never had any body of Directors better reasons for holding out bright prospects to the Proprietors than they had had at the last meeting; but since that period disaster had followed disaster. The Brighton t line at that time had been opened, and the traffic on it was in • creasing. The tolls from the Brighton Company which the Croydon Company had a prospect of receiving, fully justified them in anticipating that there would be a dividend of 10s. to 205.; but shortly after, the disaster had occurred on the Brigh ton line, which had retarded the development of the Brighton traffic most materially, and this had been followed by the slips •n their own line at New-cress. The Report was necessarily long, because the Directors had thought it advisable to explain fully the difficulties in which they had been placed, in conse quence of those disasters ; but no words could give any idea of the labours which had devolved on the officers of the Company. To Mr. Gregory, their engineer; to Mr. Coulson, the superintendent of the works , to his son, Mr. Henry Coulson, their store-keeper ; to Mr. Pulford, and to all the officers of the Company, their thanks wore eminently due for their exertions, day and night, to remedy these disasters. With respect to the slip,lMr. Cubitt, their engineer, who was present, would afford them any infor mation t h e y might desire. With regard to the cause of the s lip s , they had consulted Mr. Phillipps, the geological chemist, who had reported that the accident was attributable to a pecu liar formation going on, which would account for the extraor dinary phenomena, for it was most extraordinary, that after a cutting had remained two and a half years, such extensive slips should take place. The Directors, however, had every reason to hope that their frac would increase; and although they „telt i hm 4 justified in acceirting, but it was properi a the ritcng ehouTtt be told what that o ff er was. Mr. Young would, therefore, read • the correspondence that had taken place on the subject. The SECRETARY th en rea d the communication l containing the offer, on the part of th e Brighton Company. e t t stated notthe inconvenience of having po r t ions of the line i a newhi under the control of one Company, an d offering to lease cr the Croydon linefor a term years, terminable by a four years' notice. The Croydon Company to cease to convey goodsand passengers, and their carriages to be disposed of to the Brigton Company, who undertake the maintenance of the works, and permanent way, and to have the sole use of the stations ; all rates and ex penses to be borne by the Brighton Company. The reply of the Croydon Company pointed out that the chief inconvenience complained of by the Brighton Company was the detention • of their trains, and the difficulty of forming their time tables ; thii the Croydon Company contend could not be attributed to the present mode of conducting the traffic on the line, hut arose in great part from the inaccuracy of the Brighton trains them selves, and would still continue, were the control placed in any other hands. It concluded by stating that they could not re commend their Proprietors to accept the sum offered, since it was less than the toll at present paid by the Brighton Company alone, independent of the advantages of the Croydon traffic. The CHA/RMAN said he could not help thinking that they had got hold of a good concern, since he saw other parties so anxious to obtain possession of it. He had formerly opposed a similar offer from another Company, and now they had an offer from the Brighton Proprietors. It appeared to him that they were in the position of the man who was exposed to the operation of the wind and the rain, trying which could fleet make him take off his cloak. At the period he first alluded to, the wind blew from the south-east—(Laughter)— but now it blew more from the south. But he thought they ought to try arid keep as much as possible in their present position. It was most natural that the Brighton Company should desire to possess the Croydon ;ins ; he was not at all astonished that they had made the offer, but he was astonished at the manner in which it was made. They expected that the Croydon Company, after having waited for seven years, having received no profit, and having paid during that time, five per cent. on the money borrowed, should hand over all their perpetual advantages for the sake of five per cent. for their money. Ile appre hended that they were in a position to gain much more than that ; if they were in an hopeless position it would be very well to take the offer, for the sake of getting out of it. But though they had met with disasters and misfortunes, yet in all the main lines of their policy they had gone on progressively improving up to the present moment. He could not see why they should make a bargain in the dark. To do so would not effect the only object which they could have in view, namely, economy. By the arrangement which they hail entered into they had effected that object, and that was sufficient. With respect to the tolls ch ,rged by the Com pany to the Brighton Company, the latter had made a propo sition to them of having those tolls lowered upon third-class ear - lieges, which they meant to run on their line. The Corn eery had refused to accede to that proposition, on the ground that the charges of the Brighton Company fur pas sengers did not bear a fair proportion to the tolls charged. He would next call their attention to an offer made by the Directors to the Greenwich Company on the subject of the tolls charged by that Company. 7n (weer that they might better understand the matter, he would request Mr. Younge to read the gorresponde ce which had passad between the two Companies on this subject. Mr. YOUNGE then read the letters referred to. The purport of them was that the Croydon Company, having in con templation the constantly decreasing traffic on their line, lir erd desirous to try the exp riment of lowering the rate of fare, they felt it impossible to make that attempt if the toll of 3d. for each passenger was still charged by the Greenwich Company, much less could they make the attempt in the face of the proposed toll of eid. on each passenger. They therefore offered that, for the next five ycars,there should bee fixed payment of 6,000/. a year made by them to the Greenwich Company instead of 4id. on each passenger as toll. The Greenwich Company, in reply, stated that they were net now in a position to accede to the proposition of the Croydon Company, inasmuch as, on the faith of the toll which they required being paid, they had incurred large expenses lately. The CHAIRMAN said, that the offer which they had thus made to the Greenwich Company, washy no means an extrava gant one ; but, on the contrary, an economical one. If the Company remained as it was, they would have the same num ber of passengers without an increase of toll. If they lowered the rate of fare the number of passengers would be increased, and in consequence, the amount paid for toll would also be greatly increased. The Greenwich Company were, he thought, wrong in refusing their offer, for it was clear that, by keeping the rate of fare as at present, the Croydon Company could keep the amount of toll within what it was in former years, which was considerably under the sum of 6 000/. It would be remembered that in the autumn of 1839, a select Committee, appointed for the purpose, had made a report on the Greenwich and Dover Railway, which showed that that line was not suf ficient for the purposes for which it was made. The necessity of remedying such a state of things was urged upon the Direc ' tors of that Company, but they had refused to do anything ; whereupon the Company addressed the two other Companies, and entered into arrangements with them to go to Parliament on the subject. For this tkey were called robbers by the Greenwich Company, and that Company' was obliged to go to Parliament, and they asked for leave to levy a toll commensu rate with their own ideas of what they wanted. They thought they would be able to get 9,000/. instead of the 6,0001. which was offered them. They were told that the toll they sought was excest.ive, and that it would injure themselves. The toll was 3d., arid they wanted to raise it to 4 1 ,4 d. The case was argued by their talented Counsel before the Committee with great ability. The Croydon line would be rendered useless to the public if the additional toll were required. The Proprie tors of the Greenwich line would, if they persevered, very much deteriorate their own line. As long as the Brighton Railway Company could not become possessed of their line, and as long as the Greenwich Railway Proprietors could not get more than they ought, they would have disputes with them ; but however anxious they may be to dip their hands into the pockets of this Company, he did not accuse them of any conspiracy—they would be defeated if this Company was true to itself.—( Hear, hear.) They were in a different position with the South Eastern Rail way, because that Company did not require more than was just. and that this Company was ready to give them.—( Hear.) With respect to public opinion, he would show that it was in favour of this Company, because, on the 22d of October, shares on the Greenwich line stood at 14, while those on the Croydon ..sere 9; but, on the 26th of, February, shares on the Greenwich line stood at 6 1 , and on the Croydon at 1 1 Cheers. ) He hoped the meeting would express its satisfac tion at the course pursues! by the Directors on this subjects. An 110 N. PROPAIETOR wished to know whether the offer of 6,000/., to the Greenwich Company, in lieu of toll, included the traffic from passengers on both the Brighton and Croydon lines, or on the Croydon line alone ? The CHAIRMAN said that hail not escaped the attention of the Directors. If they were to reduce the rate of fares, it would, in his opinion, reduce the traffic. It would be utterly impossible for them, or any other Company, to compete with others who had a power of levying atoll of ls. 44d. if they were to reduce their fares. MI. LEVY thought. the Proprietors must be perfectly satis fied with the answer which the Directors had returned to the proposition of the Brighton Directors. It was monstrous to think of such a proposition.—( Hear, hear.) But they ought to give the Greenwich Directors the same credit that they took to themselves. Why should the Greenwich Company be ex pected to accept 6,0001. a year before they knew .what would be likely to be the amount of the increased value of their line in consequence of the improvements which they had made. He was himself a Greenwich Proprietor, and WAS acquainted with many of the Directors. He knew that the great body of the Greenwich Proprietors would not be inclined to accept the 6,000/. a year, and therefore they ought to allow those Directors the same credit which they took to themselves, If e felt convinced that the Greenwich Company would consent to any reasonable terms. The CHAIRMAN felt the greatest respect for many of the Greenwich Directors, anti must bear his testimony to the courtesy with which lie had always been treated by the Chair man of the Greenwich Board. He wished the Proprietors of the Greenwich Company would seriously consider what was the operation of a fixed toll, and if it did so, he felt convinced that they would see the reasonableness of the proposition made by the Croydon Company. Now he would put a case to show the operation of the fixed toll. Suppose it took 400,000 passen gers at a shilling a head, that would give 20,0001. Suppose the expenses to have been 50 per cent. they would have 10,000/. left ; then if they bad to pay a fixed toll of 3d. a head to the Greenwich Company, that would leave 5,0001. profit for the Company. Now suppose that, in consequence of reducing their tolls one half, they were to carry four times the number of passengers, that would give them 1,600,000 passengers at 6d., which would give 40,000/. ; allowing 50 per cent. for expenses, that would leave 20,0001., and then if they paid the Greenwich Company a fixed toll of 3d. a head, that would amount to 20,000 e, and would leave the Croydon Company no profit eyhatevcr. What they desired was, that the Greenwich Company should have their fair proportion of profit; that they should have all they were entitled to, but that they should abstain from taking that which fairly belonged to the Croydon Company. A PROPRIETOR said he was also a Proprietor of the Green wich Company, and he thought the proposition of the Croydon Directors a very fair one, and one well worth a trial on the part of the Greenwich Company. A PuoratEron thought it incumbent u lon him to move a resolution expressive of the high approbation of the Proprietors of the conduct of the Board of Directors for the last six months. The integrity and the firmness which they had exhibited, in taking care of the interests of the Proprietors, entitled them to their warmest thanks.—(Cheers.) He had at first been in clined to depart from the proposition for a new terminus, hut when they considered the circurns'ances of the case, he felt called upon to admit that he considered it a very fair and pro per outlay of their capital. The Greenwich Company certanly had a right to demand a toll, but the proposition they had made would work against themselves. With respect to the manner in which the Directors had treated the offer of the London and Brighton Company, the highest praise was due to them, fur a more monstrous proposition could not emanate from any Company calling themselves respectable. The Directors had done all they could expect of them, and had shown them selves watchful over the interests of the Proprietors at large. He, therefore, moved that the best thanks of the Proprietors be given to the Directors for their perseverance. good manage ment, and attention to the interests of the perseverance, during the last six months. This was seconded by several gentlemen, but it was sug gested by Mr. Ilicaano that the resolution was hardly explicit ' enough ; he therefore proposed to substitute the following : " That the conduct the Directors had rursued with regard to the Brighton, Greenwich, and South Eastern lines, had been highly satisfact :ry, and the meeting hereby expressed its per fect confidence in their management of the questions then un der consideration from the same Companies." This resolution was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN returned thanks for the resolution that had just been agreed to. After some conversation as 'o the publication of the corres pondence between the Croydon and Brighton Companies, Mr. CUBITT, in answer to questions from various Proprie tors, stated, that the slips on the line could not have been foreseen, nor prevented, unless by very expensive operations of widening the banks, and draining, cutting, &c., which would neecssitste an increased outlay of enormous amount. They could not widen the embankments without the power of an Act of Parliament, which when the public safety was con cerned would enable the Company to take land for the pur pose. ' That power would be given by the General Railway Act now pending before Parliament. The slips were caused by the nature of the sails and the heavy rains, and could not have been prevented, by p'anting the banks with any •species of shrub, as was suggested by one Hon. Proprietor. In answer to a Proprietor respecting the Bill to be laid b,e fore Parliament f or th e p ro p ose d approac h to t h e li no at Corbet f• lane, 'll would be The CHAIRMAN stated that the draft of the laid before the Company as soon as c onvenie:r o t ; Direc tors hail no desire to take the Proprietors by be satisfactory to mit them to any measure which might not p l3 t lh , e o r D c i o r: them. The object of the Bill might be p under the consideration of of the Proprietors r of a desultory nature, stage. After some further conversation dteeteoart:dabty tOO o rin e g ar in l g y it a the subject was dropped, and the other officers of the Company, Engineer, Mr. Gregory, . and the meeting separated at a quarter after four o'clo c k . Thanks were then voted t o Mr. Cubitt, the Consulting -.- .--- __•-----= ______ 1 boat, in bionic., of al te, th e French a M.
