Your directors in their half yearly repel t of the 30th June last,in calling the attention el the proprietors to the state of the permanent way, and to the necessity of a large outlay being required, viz.,150,0001. to place the line in au efficient and improved state, sug gested that this expenditure, although immediately to be entered upon, should be spread over a given number of 3 ears, the engineer of the company (Mr. Bruff) being of opinion that of this outlay 100,0001. would have to be pro vided out of the revenue in putting the line int) an effi cient state, and 50,0001. in improvements, so as to give greater sta bilityl to the work than in its original formation. Of this sum there has been expended 41,0271. 14s. 10d., in reduction of which your board have taken 15,0001. out of the half-year's revenue and have debited the capital account with 14,0001. for permanent improvements, in accordance with the views of your engineer. Tho renewal of way and works account now exhibits a debit balance of 7,7101. ls. 3-1. Your directors believing it would be satistactory to the shareholders, as exceptions have been taken to vari ous outstanding accounts and liabilities, if they opened a suspense account for the purpose of meeting any differ ence that iniglit take place iu their settlement, have set aside out of this half-year's revenue 17,317/. 3s. 7d. Your directors regret that the ordinary working expanses of the half-year exhibit a contiderablo increase; this is in part accounted for by the inci e end ex penditure in the locomotive department, anti the high price of all stores in daily use upon the line, as also the unsettled state of the company's affairs -by the attention of its officers being distracted during the prolonged inquiry of the committee of investig ation ; but as the directors here unity of action may now be secured, that e ith strict atteu lion to detail and an improved system of accounts which ttuy have directed Messrs. Quilter, Ball, and Co. to submit to them, whereby the working expenses of each department nosy be brought under their supervision at fixed periods the expenditure of the company will be economised to its fuleit extent. The proprietors are aware that. according to agreements with the Norfolk and Eastern Union Com ' le,niee we have to work their lines et the rate of 46 per ce et. upon the receipts. Since those agreements were made the cost of coke and other articles consumed in working a rail way 12 eve been materially increased, the burden cf whi Ai has fallen solely upon this company. Freights are now co rifer lily reduced, and materials generally are lower in price, '.nd as this company has hitherto borne all the die edema ge of high prices, so it will now have the entire benefit of the re h:Alone. The working of the Belgian and German traffic through the port of Harwich, although at tended with considerable expenditure, must be treated ra' he a i an experimental outlay for future advantage than an absolute and unproductive loss. The total deficiency rap n this yeti's working, payable by this company, is 3,867/. lie. Bd., for which has been established by satisfac tory experience, that in certainty, time, comfort, and eco nomy, the route vie Harwich has great advantages, is sus ceptible of large and profitable development, and from which eventually this company may look for considerable revenue. Your directors finding, however, that a large capital is necessary to successfully conduct and develops this traffic—that steam vessels must be employed of much larger capacity and power than those which have hitherto been upon this station, and capable of conveying goods as well as passengers at high rates of speed, and that an amount of foreign supervision and commercial enterprise must be entered upon, which can alone be looked for from an association specially formed for the purpose—cannot re commend the proprietors to proceed further with the un dertaking. although your directors have the somewhat inst ance before them of the Brighton Company's continental route via Newhaven and Dieppe, which they are informed commenced in failure, but is now eminently successful. The directors feel it incumbent upon them to be thus explicit in their views from the near approach to completion of the Royal Danish Railway, when this company's line, via Lowestoft, will present the most direct route to aid from the Baltic, Ham burg, and North of Germany; but, beyond affording facilities to steam navigation companies, no engage ments whatever will be entered upon by yoir direc tors. Your directors cannot refrain from expressing their opinion that with the increasing revenue of the company (notwithstanding the adverse reports which have been cir culated, the traffic for the 7 published weeks of the half year being in excess of the corresponding half-year 12,0601.) there is satisfactory data before them to justify them in stating that with rigid supervision of the expenditure and close attention in developing the traffic, the net revenue of the company will exhibit hereafter satisfactory results. Your directors refer with satisfaction to the report of Mr. Gooch, the locomotive superintendent, as to the satisfac tory state of the working "stook of the company ; and also to the report of Mr. Bruff, the engineer, as exhibiting the visour with which he is applying himself to place the line in an efficient state. Under the advice of your solicitors a bill has been submitted to Parliament for the purpose of consolidating the borrowing powers of the company. The Norfolk Company are prosecuting a bill in Parliament in reference to the Wells and Fakenham line, against which your directors have felt it their duty to petition. Two bills have also been submitted to Parliament for constructing a line from Beccles to Lowestoft, and from Haddiscoe to Yarmouth—to which bills your directors will give their most determined opposition ; and they feel, having made sacrifices to consolidate the whole of the lines east of the Great Northern, under one management, they haves strong claim upon Parliament for their protection against these aggressive schemes. The Norfolk and Eastern Union have joined this company in petitioning Parliament against them.

VIE CURRENCY. Mr. Munt.z's motion for a committee of inquiry to ascertain whether the Bank Act of 1844 has or has not answered the wants of the country comes on this evening. The following is the petition of the Monetary Reform Committee : " To the Honourable the Commons of the United King dom of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament as sembled : " The humble petition of the Monetary Reform Com mittee, sheweth— " That this committee is of opinion that the existing laws for the regulation of our currency have produced great and frequent fluctuations in the amount of the cir culating tne.:ium, and thereby caused periodical pres sures and panics in the Money Market highly prejudicial to trade and commerce, destructive of prodaciive in• dustry, and ruinous to national prosperity ; and that no system of money can be satisfactory that does not restore gold to its natural character as a commodity, so that it may find its value in national paper money under the law of supply and demand. In order to remedy these evils the committee humbly submit the following suggestions for the consideration of your honourable house : "1. That notice should be given by Government to the Bank of England that its privileges, as they now exist, shall cease and determine at the expiration of 12 calendar months after such notice has been given. "2. That the existing debt due to the Bank of Eng land by the Government, as it appears in the weekly re turns of that establishment, shall be convert e d into a public Stock, to be called the Bank of England Re demption Stock,' and by which the debt dus to the Bank shall be discharged. " 3. That in order to provide for the issue of a per fectly secure paper money, the Exchequer to be autho rised to prepare what may be denominated Exchequer Notes, of various amounts, from 11. and upwards. " 4. That the Natinnal Exchequer Note bear upon it the following inscription : ' This Note to nass current as legal tender, and be receivable for one pound in any of the Pub lic Revenues, Taxes, or Supplies. Dated at the Exchequer, This day of 1857. (Signed) 'Comptroller.' "That these notes be paid out by the Bank of Eng land or other office, under the authmity of cheques, orders, or warrants, issued by the Treasury on account of all salaries, pensions, pay of the army and navy, stores supplied to the State, and dividends payable to the public on the National Debt. " 6. That the amount of such notes to be issued be determined annually by Par`aament, but in no case to exceed in each year the amount to be raised by that year's taxation. " 7. That in order to secure the return of these notes in due course to be cancelled, the collectors of taxes and all other revenues, shall be required to receive them in payment of all demands due to the State. " 8. To facilitate transactions with foreign countries, a bullion office to be established, against which warrants of weight should be issued for sums not less than ounces ; such warrants to be duly stamped and regis tered, !night be remitted forpayment of foreign account., to obviate the cost of transit, insurance, &c. " 9. That the Bank of England J. int-etock banks, and private banker, be permitted to issue notes payable ..n demand, under such regulations as shall harmonise with the proposed plan, and under such guarantees for their safe convertibility as the wisdom of Pardament may deem necessary. _ _ "Your committee further pray that your honourable house will, in the course of the present session of Parlia ment, institute a cemmission of inquiry, for the purpose Hof ascertainin;,► how tar the present money laws are hi cotiformily with the demands of commerce, trade, and the taxation of the country.

LONDON LIFE ASSOCIATION. An adjourned special general court was held yesterday at the offices of the Association, King William-street, Clay. for the purpose of taking a ballot on, he question that tiro proceedings and acts of the - half-yearly general court ou the 23d January last be confirmed. Mr Franke, the chairman of the board of directors, presided. The following are the resolutions which stood for eon• firmation 1. That the present series of numbers be closed; Ind that a second series of members be commenced, consisting of such persons as shall make, or shall have made, any proposal for assurance on and after the fi rst January, 1850. That every member of the second series shall be considered on the same footing and be entitled to the same privileges as the members of the first series, according to the rules of the society, except as relates to the reduction of premium to which such member shall be entiiled after payment of seven whole years' premiums, which reduction shall be tea regulated, as that the rate thereof shall in every year be less by 10 per cent- of the premium than the rate of re duction or -abetment which shall be made, in the same year to each member of the first series. - • 2. That, this being the jubilee year- of association, and the affairs thereof being in a very 'prosperous and sa tisfactory condition, a gratuity be given to the secretary and clerks of such an amount, and in such proportions, as the directors shall think fit. Messrs Jones and Broderick were appointed scrutineers. During the time the ballot was proceeding, a epeeist court was held for the purposes stated in the following re quisition : " To the Directors of the London Life Association. " Ist February, 11156. " We, the undersigned, being members of the London Life Association, desire you will call a special meeting to con sider the propriety of dividing a part of the surplus funds of the association among the present members by way of bonus ; and if thought desirable, to pass any resolutions accordingly—there appearing to be upwards of 200,0004 unappropriated surplus funds, beyond our engagements, according to the calculations of our actuary." Mr. BAXTER said the first question for the consideration of the meeting was, whether the association had any sur plus funds, and that was satisfactorily answered by the resolutions passed by the directors, who proposed to make a distinction between old and new assurers to the extent of 10 per cent. The value of that distinction had been stated by the actuary to amount to 4 :30,0001. The balance. sheet showed a surplus of 215,0001. in addition to the sur plus admitted by the directors. He considered it right to leave the 215,000/. as a reserve fund to meet the eventu• alities of insurance, and induce new insurers to come in ; but in his opinion the 230.0001. ought to be divided amongst the old insurers. (Hear.) The directors recom mende,s this mode of division—that the old insurers should have 10 per cent, additional reduction on their premiums. Now he contended that the money ought to go back into the pockets of the members of the society in the proportion in which they bad contributed. With that view he pro posed a resolution modifying some of the clauses of the deed of settlement, and directed the 230,0001. to be divide/ amongst the several assurers who were members of the society on the 31st December last, in proportion to the amount of premiums paid by them respectively, and los paid to them at their option either by way of bonus in addition to the policy, or in reduction of their premiums, or in cash. Mr. A.LLNUTT seconded the resolution. The CHAIRMAN said the directors believed their recons• mendations to be the best one for the interests of the society. They did not agree with those gentlemen who contended for the existence of a surplus. .On the contrary,. they maintained that there was so surplus. But avid supposing the existence of a surplus, the directors maim taiued that the course proposed for its division was op posed to the law and practice which had prevailed in the association from its commencement. (Hear, hear.; U there was any one thing which had been the basis of every contract made with the members, it was this—that there should be an annual account taken of the position of the society—that if there was a surplus it should be divided in abatement of premiums, and during the lives of the members entitled to participate, and that the legality of declaring a bonus was altogether excluded. (Hear, hear.) Mr. War. GARRETT moved, as an amendment, that the words " according to the amount of 'Miley" be substituted for the words "amount of premiums paid," in Mr. Bax• ter's resolution, The amendment was not seconded, and therefore fell to the ground. Mr. JOHN YOUNG opposed the resolution, and expressed his approval of ithe course proposed to be taken by the directors. Mr. FIELD entertained considerable doubt as teethe course which ought to be taken, and moved, as an amend ment, that it he referred to "two eminent nctuaries not in connection with any office, and in conjunction with the actuary of the association, to advise what plan of action it wou'd be just and equitable for the association to pursue under present circumstances. Mr. Timms seconded the amendment, which was sup. ported by Professor KEY, Mr. Alderman WIRE addressed the meeting in favour of Mr. Baxter's motion. Mr. CORRIE defended the course which heal been taken by the directors. Mr. BortcHase suggested that it would be Letter to re. for the whole question back to the directors, with &request that they would, at a future meeting, lay some farther in• formation before the members on the subject ; the actuary of the society being associated with two etninent actuaries ; and also that the directors should consider whether in point of law it was competent for the members of the asso ciation to act in the manner suggosted by Mr. Baxter. After some further discussion the amendment was put and negatived. The original motion was then put, and he numbers were declared to be— For Baxter's motion O5 Against it Majority in favour of the motion —l7 The proceeding' terminated with . the -usual vote of thanks to the chairman. At the close of the ballot the suenthers were — For the confirmation of the directors' re -183 solutions Against.
