Your directors in their half yearlyreport of the 30th June last,in ceiling the attention of the proprietors to the state of the permanent way, and to the necessity of a large outlay being required, viz., 150,0005. to place the line in arreffieient and improved state, sug gested that this expenditure, although immeiiately to be entered upon, should be spread over a given nullifier of 3 ears, the engineer of the company (Mr. Bruff) being of opinion that of•tbis outlay 109,0001. would have to be pro vided out of the revenue in putting the line into an effi cient state, and 50,0001. in improvements, so as to give greater stability, to the work than in its original formation. Of this sum there has been expended 4r,0171. 14s. 10d., in reduction of which your board have taken 15,003. 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. The renewal of way and works account now exhibits a debit balance of 7,7101. ls. 31. Your directors believing it would be satisfactory 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 might take place in their settlement, have set aside out of thisintlf-year's revenue 17,3471. 3s. 7d. Your directors regret that the ordinary working expenses of the half-year exhibit a considerable increase; this is in part accounted for •by the lucre .sed ex penditure in the locomotive department, and 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 conornitt en of investigation ; but as the directors here unity of action may now be secured, that R ith strict Wet,- lion to detail and an imp•overl system of accoents which they have directed Messrs. Quilter, Ball, and Co. to submit' to them ; whereby the working expenses of each depertment may be brought under their supervision at fixed periods the expenditure of the company will be economised to its fills, it extent. The proprietors aro aware that, according to agresmeets with the Norfolk and Eastern Union Com peesiee we have to work their lines at the rate of 46 per cent. upon the receipts.

The working of the B and German trate through rbe port of Harwich, although at tended with oonsi.lerab!e expenditure, must be treated ra'.he. a an experimental outles far future advantage than an abeelute and unproductive , loss. The total deficiency up , ,n this you's working,- payable by this company, is 3,8671. its. Bd., for which has been established by satisfac tory experience, that iu certainty, time, comfort, and eco nomy, the route via Harwich has great advanteges, 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 eee ital is necessary to successfully conduct and des - elope this traffic-that , be einplered of ulaehe 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 olforeign supervision and commercial enterprise must be entered upon, which can alone he looked for from an association specially formed for the purpose-cannot re cenamend the proprietors to proceed further with the un dertaking, although your directors have the somewhat similar instance 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 avproach to completion of the Royal. Danish Railway, when this company's line, via Lowestoft, will present the most direct route to, and from the Beltic, Ham burg, end North of Germany ; but, beyond affording facilities to steam navigation companies, no engage ments whatever will be entered upon by your direc tors. Your directors cannot refrain from expressing their opinion that with the increasing revenue or 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 12,0:10! ) there is satisfactory data before them to juAily them iu stating that with rigid supervision of the expeairiture and close attention in elovAoping ths tr..ffi the net revenue of the company will exhibit hereafter satisfactory rests Is. Your directors refer with satisfaction to the report of Mr. Gooch, the locomotive superintendent, as to the eatisfae- tory state of the working stock of the comp, ne ; 5... i also to the report of Mr. Br tiff, the engineer, as a hiiri hug the vigour with which he is applying himself to vac s Ilie line iu an efficient state. Under the advice of yeer eolicitors a bill has been submitted to Parliament for the purpose of consolidating the borrowing powers of this company. The Norfolk Company are prosecuting a bill in Peeliainent in reference to the Wells anti Fake:hem line, a gainst which your directors have felt it their duty to pea, ion. Two bills have also been submitted to Parliament for constructing a line from Beccles to Lowestoft, and from Raddiscoe to Yarmouth-to which bills your directors will give their most determined opposition ; air' they feel, Lavieg made sacrifices to conselidate the whole of the lines east of the ttihoeny againstaa e testrong e G cla re it t n tt N up o o r n the p r . o r , l u in u n tr nt on fi e w n tre 4 i g r e p m r e o t t ' e t aggressive schemes.

During the time the ballot was proceeding, a 'yodel court was held for the purp tsts stated in the following re quisition " To the Directors of the Loudon Life Association. " Ist February, 1856. " 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 pies 'nt Members by way of bonus; and if' thought desirable, to pass any resolution's accordingly—there appearing to be upwards of 200,0001. 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 10hper cent. The value of that distinction had been 'stated by the actuary to amount to 930,000!. The balance- • eheet showed a surplus of 215,000/. in addition to the sur plus admitted by the directors: He considered it right to leave the 215,0001. as a reserve fund to meet the eventu alities of insurance, and induce new insurers to come in ; but in his opinion the 230,000/. ought to he divided amongst the old insurers. (Hear.) The directors recom mend.) this mole of division that the old insures. 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` eciety in the proportion in wide's they had contributed. ith that view he pro posed a resolution. modifying some of the clauses of the deed of settlement, and directed the 130.(:00/. to be divided amongst the several assurers who wore memosrs of the society on the 31st ll,cernber last, iu proportion to the them oLp t r h e e n i r r iu o in v to the policy, or in reduction of their premiums, or in cash. t q i P on ai e l i l t ) h r e t r b l e- ty m ve re er :f t 7n l °. i n n d ad he cti p ti a o id n Mr. ALLNUTT seconded the resolution. • amount th u e n The CFIAIRMAN said the directors believed their recom mendations to be the best one for the interests of the society. They did not agree with those gentlemen who contended for the exist-nce of a surplus. On the contrary, they maintained tle,t there was no surplus. But err= su pposirg the existence of a surplus, the directors main tained that the course proposed for its division was op- • posed to the law and practice which had prevailed in the association from its commenctment. (Hear, hear., there was any one thing wi ich had been the basis of every contract made with the members, it was this—that there should be an annual account takn of the position of the society—that if there was a surplus it should be dividel in shatenSent 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.) a» an amendment, that the Mr. Wet. GARRETT moved, words " according to the amount of policy" be substituted. for the words "amount of premiums paid," in Mr. Bax- WI 'a resolution, The amendment was not seconded, 643c1 therefore fell to the ground.

Mr. TI MPLII seconded the amendment, which was sup, ported by professo r KEY. Mr. Alderma n WIRE addressed the meeting in favour of Mr. Baxter's motion. Mr. CORRIE defended the course which had been taken by the directors. • Mr. Buneileat suggested that it would be better to re fer the whole question back to the directors, with a request that they would, at a future meeting, lay some further in formation before the members on the subject ; the actuary of the society being associated with two eminent 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 suggested by Mr. Baxter.
