',yesterday afternoon at their offices; Brook -street, Ipswich e Mr. J. C. Cobboltl,. M.l'., chairman of the board of directors, presiding. The report stated that the net revenue, which amounted, at the corresponding period of 1849, to 9,9261, has gene on increasing, and now, in the least favourable' half-year of 1350, amounts. to 26,5621. The directors concur entirely in the belief expressed by Messrs. Webb and Head, the auditors, that the shareholders during the current half-year may look forward to a farther con siderable increase of revenue. The liquidation of the liabilities, which are the' main causes of the preference stocks being at a discount, demands the earliest consi deration of the directors. The proprietary, if they are united in a resolution to clear away the outstanding' debts, might do -it, mot only without any sacrifice what! ever, but with a certainty of raising every portion of the company's stock. The Act which passed in the late sea-' sion has enlarged the time for making the Harwich line; and the Esstern Counties Company having admitted that it would be a great adrantage- to themselves as well as to the public, and having shown a willingness to co-ope rate with this company to insure its construction, the di rectors hope, before they:need expend any further money upon the undertaking, that the arrangement of 1846 may be entered into between the two companiee to pro tect the shareholders from any unremuterative outlay in carrying a line into Ettewich. The directors. have referred all unsettled professional accounts to Mr. Dax, this senior Taxing-Master of the Court of Ex-: chequer. They trust it will ho a means of reducing: some of the demande ,against . .the company. With a view to -stianalsste the_ local traffic, several'excursdon' trains are now running and carrying great numbirs 6r , the inhabitants of Norwich, Bury 6t. Edmund's, and the vicinities towards Harwich, end of those of Colches ter, Ipswich, and Bury, through Norwich to Yarmouth. This' traffie, it is believed, will tend to improve the present half-year's revenue., The report of Mr. P. Bruff, the engineer, states that the working expenses continue to diminish, being now 2681. par mile, or 49 per cent. upon the receipts. The rolling stock, permanent way, and works continue to be maineained in excellent condi tion. The Trowse branch to connect the Eastern Union line with the Norrolk line at Newwich will undoubtedly be of great service in facilitating r end economising the traffic arrangements of both con:Tallies; the estimate of cost including land and every expeuee is 16,0001. The line is set out, and the works can be commenced forthwith upon the land being given up to the contractor. The au ditors state in their report that the liabilities of the company aro iu course of reduction, and they see no reason why tho whole amount should not be easily de frayed from the powers possess( el by the company; that it would greatly improve the v slue of the whole stock of the company if the preference and ordinary share holders were to co-operate in tel .siting the directors in some scheme by which the sine! de contract creditors of the company should be satisfied by the issue of the fur ther preference stock at a mode rate rate of interest, and the re-issue of debenture bonds as they fall due at a lower rate. The preference st( , ck, as well as the ordi nary stock, would not then fail to acquire an increased value, whilst the company woul I be placed in a sound and proper position. The capital account to the 30th of June last shows that 2,104, 6401. had been received, and 2,098,638/. expanded, leaving a balance of 6,0011. The company are authorised to raise 1,860,0001. on shares, and 620,000/. on loans, total 2,480,0001. The amount of shares issued, and loans raisede is 2,115,979/., leaving powers to raise 364,0214 uuer cruised. The loan account shows that 523,574/. has been: obtained on mortgage bonds, of which 56,600/. was borrowed at 6 per cent. per annum, 441,768/. at 5 per cant., 20,655/, at 4 per cent., and 4,5501. at 4 per cent. The amount falling due in 1850 is 221,759/., of which 1 98,553/. is at 5 per cent. The revenue account for the half-year ending June 30 states that 52,321/. had been rec eived, and 25,575/. ex pended, including 880/. for Government duty, and 616/. rates and taxes, leaving a balance of 26,7461. to pay in terest on borrowed money, 22,395/.; on 6 per cent. stock 8,9361., interest on 10 per cent. stock, 2,2744; rent to Stour Valley Company, 2,00/.; rent to Stowmarket Navigation, 535/., and rent to Lark Navigation, 186/.; making together 26,327/., and leaving a balance of 418/., of which 183/. is appropriated to the renewal fund. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said that in their published statements the directors had gone so fully into detail that it would be hardly neces sary_ for him to make any observations beyond those which might be elicited by, inquires put to him by the shareholders. All had been o f late improving; and there was every probability that .most, if not all, would continue to improve. The sharel.olders would see with pleasure the improvement in net 'lncome during the pre sent half-year, as compared with that of the correspond ing half of the previous year. Be felt assured they would see a progessive increase in the past year quite equivalent to that which had token place during the year that had passed. Mr. MIISKETT said he wished, before the report was adopted, to say a word or two on. the 'abject of a report which bad been presented by Mit. Bruff, the company's engineer. That gentleman proposed to lay out 16,0001. in the Trowse branch, near Norwich, connecting the Eastern Union line with the :Eastern Counties Nor folk line at Norwich. As the shareholders at present received no interest, and as there was a large debt due for land not paid for, he objected to that amount of money being paid for such wor'as. Then, again, Mr. Bruff proposed incurring other expenses, which, how: ever, be said would be trivial, by the removal of the Ipswich steam). With reference to the general meeting of August 2, he (Mr. Muskett) wets unable to be present at the meeting, but he had weer tainod from. the news paper report that the loan effect au at ten per cent. was the act of the shareholders. lie begged to deny that most distinctly—it was a 'misrepresentation, for it was the act of the directors and not of the shareholders. At the meeting held ,twelve months since it was proposed that money should be raised tat seven per cent., and it was afterwards proposed and seconded that eight per cent. should he given. Mr. Field, an auditor, proposed that ten per cent. should he given, and eventually it was left in the hands of the directove to effect the loin at any rate between seven and ten per cent. The ten per cent. was, therefore, the choice of the directors. Then, with reference to the Stour Valle y accounts, there were some points on which ho wanted information. Mr. I:lAwKiNs, a director, reminded Mr. Muskett that the accounts he referred to were simply matters be tween the Stour Valley Company and their contractor, and ever which at present the 112fitC111 Union Company had no control whatever. The CIIAIRDIAN;t;ia: with v.-formic° to the 10 per cent. stock or which Mr. Musk att had spoken, he might state that the directors reeorranended that there should not he so large an amount of interest. One of the au ditors rcromrnde e t 10 pera,nd the feling of the meeting was so strong in J .avour of thrlt proposition, that the directors did not fei j i sy justified h i making any t e rms in opposition to the vie s so uuequiveally expressed by the shareholders, '1 011 441 4 , 1 14 4)14 : 11 : 2 ; ( 1) /r enrY s ::: i ~,, ta ( i . thkistitt?t:iOrl 4,htl) 1 ,„ .8, t I , ltp oia. t .

The • twenty-eighth half-yearly meeting of this com pany was held on Wednesday et Bristol; Mr. J. W. Buller in the chair. The SECRETARY (Mr. Badham) having read the nc tic° convening the meeting, The CHAIRMAN raid the meeting had been convened for a double purpose, principally for the purpose of 'con sidering the business of the company at its timed half yearly meeting, but also with the view of considering the report of the committee of investigation. He would suggest that the proceedings should commence by read ing the report of the directors.—(Hear, hear.) If that was the opinion of the meeting, ho would desire the sec retary at once to read pro .forma the report cf the direc tors to the meeting convened that day.—(Cheers.) The SECRETARY read the report, which stetted— " The gross traffic receipts upon the railway from the Ist of January to the 30th of June, 1850, amount to 97,9401., and the working expenses during the same period to 45,4521., or about 46.40 per cent., or-5281. per mile for the half-year on 86 miles of line. The number of passengers conveyed is 273,851, travelling 7,545,423 miles, and the number of tons of goods is 66,987 tons, conveyed 2,499,684 miles. The consumption of coke was fur passenger engines, 33.81 b. per mile, and for rode engines 83,91 b. per mile— The locomotive potveroon .. iiaii:6l;2o lattssenger engines, 8 goodie engines, and the Fairfield engine and carriage nowat work on the Clevedon *404 and With thd view of more economically working the branches and piloting on the line, five light engines have been contracted for. The balance of the revenue account, including 2,462/., brought over from the former half-year, i5..56,3861., which, after providing for interest on debentures, loan notes, &c., will leave a disposable bafande of 28.365/., and give adividend of 280. per 100/. share, and 95. : 44. per third share, for the half-year. This dividend is rather more than equal to 3 per cent. per annum on the capital called up before the month of March ' last. The balance carried over is only 365/.; but the smallness of this reserve is the leas objectionable, as the second • half of the year is always more productive than the first, and in the present instance there have been lextraordinary re ceipts during the meeting of the I . ciAyal Agricultural Society in July, to the extent of betlt , een 3,0001. and 4,000/. The arrangement expected to .- aye been entered into with the 'Exeter and C iten Reilway t Company not having been ca ied into el feet, tho'e six miles of line retienin useless to the public; but there is reason to felieve that ne gotiations may be revived, which s; _y terminate in an arrangement for working the line o sii.' se broad gauge. The goods-sheds, engine -house, and ...ther buildings lately erectsd at Pyle-hill, afford anitielat accommoda tion for the traffic of the line; and - pis are in course of preparation fur extending the loot) , five repairing shops at Exeter, and- for bnilding, boo g, and general 3 2 offices in Bristol. - The directors , ar not aware of any other material outlay likely to are for the traffic of the line, unless it should be, ,le ' rmined, on the completion of the electric telegraph ' tweeu London and Bristol, to continue it to Exeter: Is chain of tele graphic communication would then l ,uninterrupted from all parts of England, through - Briatel to Plymouth.. The late deputyLehairman, Mr. John RrOwne, . having resigned, the number of the ' board was reduced. below the minimum prescribed 1.17 the Acts of Parliament, and Mr. Francis Fry,a g e (omen long and well acquainted with railway affairs; a , seen elected in his stead. The directors believe that 0 period is not far off when they will be able to issue ft, eferenee stock at four per cent., to cover the dobent - - 3 and liabili ties. The directors would' recommen eConfirming the loans already accepted, and tip*: - any others that may hereafter be obtained at 'f4 .! per cent. to wards providing for a large aina , ,t ,of deben tures and loan notes which will fall due tiext year. The balance in the bankers' hands on the 311Ith of June was 13,5421., and the total 'balance of .tai; 'general account, including the South Devon and other stares, &?.., was 380,834/. The arrears on calls at the end of June last amounted to 45,2271. Since then they lave been re duced to less than 35,0001." , :,' The audited statement of accounts -was likewise sub mitted to the meeting. The CHAIRMAN thee said it would now be for any member to move the receptien of the report of the com mittee of investigation, and then they coul4roceed with that inquiry. - Mr. SILLIFAXT, the chairman of the coratnittt - je of in -vestigttion, 'aid that, siiiiit'aut litiylng -ilnyg,tl:kint was - trettstr-ordbesgreeytneat-hozarnisr ne.alheivisif ik,sfitais's,ve the system adopted in past years was not such a oli:a-efilt./ti satisfactory to the shareholders, and he believed their best interests were involved in amending that system. The committee had had great difficulties thrown in the way of their inquiry, not the lealt of which Nfas the re filial of their secretary to produce document after docu ment, and doubting whether they were not exceeding their duty. There was one point to which he wished specially to call the attention of the meeting, and that was that the committee were not responsible for the statements which had been laid before them. Ho die claimed the attempts which had been made to put this inquiry upon the footing of a personal question. The charges against Mr. Browne had been disposed of by the directors themselves, who had come to a resolution that it was not desirable in future to elect to' the board any gentleman who was a carrier en the line. They dis missed the charges against Mr. Browne with the simple remark that they thought Mr. Browne had exercised a wise discretion iu retiring from the board, and they fully , agreed with the directors that no carrier should be eligi ble to serve on the board. The committee, therefore, had gained alainisisyueth which lic i h t could po c i e n na t m b i y tte ll e ir. of B i r n ° v w e n s investigation a tiou resignation.alh,ged that The e the l financeportheirofthe comtn it t ee was a sec re t comm itt e e. The di rec tors' answer was p sided by an appeal to the ev id ence . The storekeep is department demanded more su p erv i s i o a ; it was a point wsnot only a be do co mmittee. That aas u not touched ou in the answer of the directors, and he thought the attention of the shareholders should he di rected towards it. Another point he would notice was the residence of directors at 9 distance from the line, which involved an outlay last half-year fur travelling expenses of 1331., and this half-year of 681,, which he thought ought not to have been incurred when 1,200/. a year was allowed to the directorate. He then ad verted to the power given to the secretary to draw cheques. 'lnc CITAIRMAN explained that the money far which the secretary drew cheques was placed to his credit at the bank for a particular purpose, and it could only be used by him for that purpose. Mr. SILLIFANT said this was really the point at issue. Ile:thought the secretary could not deny that he paid cheques to a Mr. Davey and a Mr. Watson without any authority from the board. The SECRETARY said that since he had been connected with the railway he had never drawn a single cheque for a single eixpence without the approbation of the directors. He denied any such allegation in tote. The fact was there was a c erta i n sum of money placed at his i r n o s v t e ea a d su o ffi f i c t i s en b t ei s n a g re p g u u t ar in d to ag a a b in ox st , a d n is d p o h s i a s l b a o t o k the c.,, o b u a l u a k p , any misappropriation of the money. Ho must be al lowed to say that it would be quite impossible to carry on such an affair as a railway without some one having a discretion for drawing cheques for amouuts of &limited extent.—(Hear, hear.) tMr. FRIPP, one cf Clic directors, added, that no banker belonging to the company would pay any cheque unless it was signed by three of the directors. The secretary drew thore cheques in his own name, a n d not i n the name of the company. Mr. SILLIFANT said, if such were the case, why th en the board and the committee were agreed. Another im portant fact was that the corporate seal of the company had been hitherto allowed to remain in the c us t o d y o f tee secretary, and it might be used for purposes involv lug the interests of the company. — (No, no.) Th ere was an important document purporting to be an agreement between the Bristol and Exeter Railway Company and the Great Western Canal connected with the siding at Taunton, which had the seal o f the company affixed to it, and the secretary, on heing asked, said he could find no order or minute of it in the books. A great deal of warm and noisy discussion followed on this subject, which was terminated by the chairman explaining that the fact was, the agreement alluded to was made in London with Mr. Taverner, solicitor of the Great Western Company; it was done at a ti me w h en the directors were engaged in Parliamentary business. It was thought necer,ary the agreement should be com pleted at once; the corporate seal of the company was sent fer, and attached to the document in his (the chair man's) presence.—(Bear, hear.) Mr. SILLIFANT said, the next point he had to urge on the meeting was in regard to the duties of the auditor, Mr. Seccombe. lie enlarged on this topic, his principal complaint being that he had not the power of disallow ing eny items of which he disapproved. Another gross thing he had to complain o f waft, that in the half-yearly accounts the amounts stated to be paid for the purchase of the Taw Vale, the Exeter and Creditors, and the Glastonbury Canal shares were put down at 28,8871., whereas they really cost 31,5151.; and there was another fact the meeting perhepe was not aware of— th a t some of the directors of this company had sold some of their :iliares to the company. Ile also understood that Mr. Fletcher, their former auditor, had objected to the in vestment account when it reached 70,000/, which stood in the secretary's name. Ho concluded by proposing that the report of the committee be received and ap proved. • Mr. ABBOTT proceeded seriatim to combat the state mcnig made by the chairman of the committee of inver tigation, and characterised the whole proceedings of the committee, amidst much uproar and confusion, as trivial toad The real gooticm whother the directors were possessed of their confidence, and whether they would strengthen their hands, or whether they were not entitled to their confidence in 'managing their property. He also reprobated the conduct of the com mittee in refusing to examine the books when cffered them, ?Altering that they had closed their report. If they had Altering serious and the matter was of such im portance as had been represented, they would still hare gone into them. Mr. Abbott concluded by moving as an amendment:— " That this meeting having considered the report of the committee of investigation and the answer thereto by the directors, feel it incumbent on the pro prietors to thank the committee for the time and trouble they had devoted to the report, and at the same time they emphatically express their entire confidence in the integrity and honour of the directors."—(Cheers.) Mr. AVERT said be would ask whether the report was such a document as would compensate for the state of confusion into which they had been thrown. Ho hoped the result of the poll would be an entire confidence is the directors, that their line might be placed in that position in the market which it deserved.—(Cheers.) After some discussion and much confusion, Mr. Barnum, the secretary, proceeded to read the letters, which consisted of a correspondence between him (the secretary) and Mr. Robert Fletcher, account ant of the company, and which passed in 1843. Mr. 'Fletcher, it appeared, requested some explanation of the sum for investment standing in Mr. Badham's own name is the books of the Bristol and Exeter company, amounting to 76,698/. 7s. 31. On the recommendation of the finance committee, the secretary instructed Mr. Fletcher to continue to make up the accounts in the usual way, leaving the sum of 76,698/. 7s. 3d. to the debit of the secretary. Mr. Fletcher considered he could not do this and act consistently, if he did not re linquish hig situation as the accountant of the company. He thought it WI imprOper thing that this sum of money should be allowed to stand as it did in Mr. Bad ham's name. Mr. ROWLEY proposed that the two resolutions which had beeneput tefore the natieting should lap isassed ; sep*- rately as two substantive motions. Ile coaldCoilmir thanking the committee ler their labours, and he could, also receive and adopt their report, hut ~,hee,must also concur in the vote of confidence in the directers which had been proposed by another gentleman. LOTIBOND criticised the way in which leading questions had been put to Mr. Haricot, and the tariff pat forward by that gentleman as superior to the previ ous tariff, which existed at the time when Mr. Browne sat at the board. As ateinstance, in thelast month their coal traffic had been 536 more tons than in the same month in 1849, and the revenue for carrying that greater quantity had been 361. less. Mr. ERIPP said Mr. Lovibond was wrong in his figures.—(Cheers.) Mr. LOVIRDND said at the last meeting a gallant Major Godfery had observed that figures could not lie, but it seemed now that they did. However, ho would rather nabe interfered with. He did not quarrel with the shareholders for adopting the abstract proposition that it was undesirable for any director to be a carrier on the line. Mr. Browne had no desire te return to the beard, but he did desire to have his character cleared from the imputation that had been cast upon him, and ho asked for some vote of the proprietors in their ag gregate number, since the committee had neglected their duty in abstaining from the inquiry for which they were appointed. The gonourable Proprietor then went into the charges made . against Mr. Browne at the last meeting for the purpose:ef minting them in much the seine terms as Mr. Browne used as his explanation on that occasion. Ho said Mr. Castell bad made a charge against that gentleman which" ought never to have been made.. He had charged that more land had been purchased of Mr. Brown than was required for the Burdin works, and that an extravagant price had been paid for it. . The allegation was' that Mr. Brown, being possessed of great influence at the board, had led Mr. Townsend, the company's surveyor, to place that valua tion upon it. Now, Mr. Castell ought to have called upon Mr. Townsend, and he would have given to him the explanation. Now, this is the answer: that, taking the whole of - the land from Bridgewater-bridge Rail way, Mr. Browh's was the lowest price of all; and it was evident that the charge did not exist, and never had existed, except in Mr. Castell's imagination, or of those who set him on. Then Mr. Brown was charged with supplying the contractor at Tiverton with bricks, but he Aid not know why a man, if he was a contractor, should not send to Mr. Brown's yard for bricks. The hon. pro prietor concluded by calling for a verdict on the ques tion. He was satisfied that that verdict would be an honourable acquittal on all the charges alleged against Mr. Brown. Mr. BERNARD, as one of the committee of investiga tion, would say that, so far from being afraid of joining issue with Mr. Brown, they had given a verdict, and that verdict was that Mr. Brown is guilty. They had taken the evidence, and had laid it for more than a month open to the public inspection, and it had proved almost every charge. The charges were laid before them in writing, some 28 or 29 in number; but thew , had reduced them to ,11, the three others, miking Mrelovihenci's 14, were t gone into; the charge about the weighing of the .coj.lls was not gone. into because 1114 had not any ivolgAte.ohisine. ..04‘p_r th*Sele`ieresibirges, eight were - distins y proved, and alrenebvi4 was-ferny coirtietteel•oP using the railway for his own purposes. As to putting the points out of order, it was not as Mr. Lovibond had said, because the siding was to be left, for that siding was afterwards closed by resolution; and upon this matter they took the evidence of Mr. Gregory, their head engineer, that there was danger of life and limb upon the passing of every train, and that the moment he heard of the points being damaged, he had travelled from London to repair them, and that Mr. Brown had wished him not to repair them; and what was this for but to oppose his rival? They had had Mr. Brown before them, and Mr. Silifant, the chairman of the comesittee, told him that they sat there as a grand jury, and it was his painful duty to acquaint them that they considered eight of the charges prima facie proved, but '.;that they were ready to hear anything Mr. Brown wished to say upon the matter. Mr. Brown was examined for nearly two days, and the result was that it only confirmed the evidence against him. Mr. M. CessTeea said it was known to the directors that he had come to that meeting with the determination to remain a silent listener to the proceedings which were going forward, and he should have preserved that determination and should rot have taken any part in the discussion but for the unfair manner in which he had been attacked by Mr. Lovibond. When be became a director ho had handed over the charges to the committee, and had never seen them since until to-day. They asked him what was the cause of his unparalleled hos tility to Mr. Brown? He had no hostility to Mr. Brown, but he brought them forward as chairman of u com mittee, being compelled to do so. Mr. Lovibond had charged bias also with getting himself into the directorate. fie had not done so; he had never asked for a vote, and he would retire the moment they wished him to do so. Mr. MORRIS deprecated the proceedings which had to the bes t hiNni i G n 3v e t ss e sai r tgi i e dgn s a t ah a tteiu o orh f nea t , h dfar e nob c dme taken place, as calculated t o p rove hi g hl y d etr i menta l o e h m u a l t i h a p e n i p e y o lr i te n p t i appointed rt one to. b eH o he f i s t he duty co thereforemt o mbweiigMtthtgehree.odloidlfelve to state his reason for doing so. With re gard to the paragraph regarding Mr. Brown, he cer tainly did give his cons en t t o i t , b u t it was with great pain. In the report it was said that Mr. Brown had never paid the siding charge of Bd. per ton, but at the very time the committee had before them the resolution of the board that the Taunton aiding should be free. Then, again, the report said ,that Mr. Harriott stated that Mr. Bedham said that it was the wish of the chair man that he should withdraw his report, and that it would be for his personal interest to do so, in tact a bribe; but there was no evidence, as ho thought, to prove this or to warrant that paragraph in the report; and while upon this he would remark that he saw no hesitation on the part of Mr. Harriett to give hia evi dence, but he seemed delighted to give it, as if be was crushing his foe. They would have the shareholders be lieve that the evidence was extorted. He could not help thinking that there had been a conspiracy among some of the officials!to get rid of a very useful member of the board Then there was a paragraph in the report which com plained of the expenditure in the workshops when com pared with the South Devon; he had, however, gone into this, and he found the difference of their wages, Eke. greatly in favour of the Bristol and Ex e t e r, and the weekly average expense of each carriage was 3s. 23. on the South Devon and ls. ld. on the Bristol and Exeter. These were some of the reasons why he could not sign the committee's report. Mr. Harriett had sought for an increase of salary, but this was opposed by Mr. Brown, and this, he thought, was the cause of Mr. Harriott's animosity to that gentleman. The CHAIRMAN said he could assure Mr. King that what he had stated was not the fact.—(Great uproar.) The resolution to increase the salaries in the account ant's office was carried out by a large majority, but Mr. Fripp and Mr. Castell were dissentients. A good deal of angry discussion followed, and upon a division taking place, the amendment voting confi dence in the directors was carried by a majority of five to one. The report was then adopted, and the divid3nd de clared, and thanks having been voted to the chairman and board, the meeting broke up, having occupied eight hours. LEEDS AND BRADFORD. The report of the directors presented to the half-yearly meeting at Leeds yest( rday states, the directors have no hesitation iu saying that there is no foundation for the attempts which have been made to impugn the validity of the lease, or for the imputations which had been cast on those gentb:men who were members of both boards. The directors deny, in the most emphatic manner, that any deception, misrepresentation, surprise, or conceal ment whatever, was practised, either on the Midland board, or on the Midlenad shareholders; and they aro compell©d to make this denial in general terms, because amidst the many vague and Sweeping charges which have been made there is nothing specific or tangible. The lease was unanimously recommended by the Mid land directors in their half-yearly report in July, 1846; the terms were most ex:)lieitly stated in resolutions sanc tioned by more than nine-tenths of the special meeting of Midland shareholders, held on the 25th of July, 1846; those resolutions, embodying all the particulars, were 0 3I pot to each ihditthighlidlad oborehcoldor; 1:; OW the document was prepared by two eminent counsel, in accordance with those resolutions; and three months afterwards, on the 28th of October, 1846, a second special meeting of Midland shareholders approved of the lease, and affixed the seal of the company by an unani mous vote. As to the fairness of the tr-rms—when the lease was agreed for the line was unopened and untried; its value was, therefore, matter of estimate. it could only be judged of by the eircumsbnce of the Midland line then paying 7 and the Manchester and Leeds F per cent., and by its being known to pass through a district almost unexarnple . 2. for population, wealh, and industry. The Manchester and Leeds Company had offered for it terms believed at the time to be equal to 11 per cent. The charge that the same parties were both buyers and sellers is wholly unfounded; for the contract on vvhich the le-se was based was the act of the shareholders of the respective companies at meetings specialty convened for that purpose. The proprietors have a right to know that 21r. Garbutt, who has been most active in the recent at tempts at repudiation, and who has a seat at the Midland board, was rp_t only an original shareholder ih the Leeds and 13radford line, but was also a shareholder at the time of the lease. The directors recommend that the usual dividend of 21. lOs. per share (less income-tax) be declared. LEEDS AND THIIZSK. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held a Leeds on Thursday; Mr. 11. C. Marshall presided. The report stated that the amount expended on capi tal account for the half-year ending the 30th of June last amounts to 88,5721., the principal items tieing on account of contracts for working stock and works some time since executed. The gross revenue for the half year ending the 30th of Juno amounts to 22,1381., and the working expenses to 15,973/. Deducting this amount and the Governmeut duty on passengers (3881.) from the gross receipts, there remains a net profit of 10,775/, which, added to the balance of 8,0681. brought forward from last half-year, leaves 18,843/. available for interest on loans and dividends for the half-year. The charge for interest on loans amounts to 8,147/., aqd the divi dends on all the preference capital of the company will j amount to 6,579/., or together to the sum of 14,727/, leaving a balance to be carried forward to the next half year of 4;1161. The increase in the working expenses is chiefly caused by the increased charge on account of locomotive power, consequent upon the increased mineral and cattle traffic and maintenance of way. Au arrangement has been made by this company, in conjunction with the London and North-Western Company, for the joint occupancy of the passenger station of the Midland Company at Leeds, by wich and the other arrangements for interchange of traffic with those two, railways, it is expected the public conve nience wit! be promoted, and an additional traffic ob tained. Some addition to the traffic may be expected on the completion of the connexion with the East and West Yorkshire Railway at linaresborough. With res spect to the traffic on merchandise and minerals, the directors do not anticipate any considerable increase until the extension line has been completed to the Dur ham railways and the port of the Tees. The only works which have been in progress during the last half-year on the Hartlepool Extension are those upon the Yar:n con tract, the heaviest work on which—Lamely, the viaduct across the Tees at Yarm, is now completed. In order to verity the estimates of the company's engineer as to the cost of constructing those portions of the line yet re maining to be let, they have obtained actual tenders from several respectable contractors, and they are now enabled to state that the whole of the extension works may be completed within the amount so estimated. Active measures have been taken to collect the outstanding 'arrears of calls on the 501. shares, and since last hell . - yearly meeting 5,2251. has been collected. From the numerous urgent claims upon the company from the contractor!, landowners, and others, the payment of the last instalment of interest on the Hartlepool Extension shares has been poittioned. The CHAIRMAN, in reeving that the reports be adopted, said the whole cost of workinge" including the locomotive power and carriages, and the-whole of the work on 145,000 miles run, was 2s. Gid. per mile, which was much lower than many other companies worked their mileage at, but which they must expect rather to increase, as their working stock became older and re quired more repairs. The directors had also been dis appointed in not obtaining an increase in the traffic of goods and minerals,• which bore an unduly small propor tion to the average increase of the passenger traffic, the cause, it was very well known to the shareholders, con sisting in the difficulty of making arrangements for passing traffic northwards. There were arrangements made which were likely to result in a considerable inter change of traffic with the London and North-Western and the Midland Companies. The directors had also made arrangements of a similar nature with the Len ceshire and Yorkshire Company, with whom they had • a .considerable interchange of traffic in pail ; Eengers and goods. It was a necessary thing tor the company to complete its uunertakieg extend ing to the north and the ports of the Tees. The amount of additional shares which had been up to the present time subscribed for was 5,822/., which included.2,77o/. that the directors hat themselves taken, being partly their proportion of allotments and partly shares which some of the directors had thought it right to take in excess of that. These were all in addition to the shares preciously issued, which were 3,4491. It therefore remained for the shareholders, as they could scarcely look to other parties not being interested in the capital of this company to take those shares, to say whether they would advance the further capital which was requisite in order to prevent the loss of the capital which they had already invested in the company. It seemed to him to be the interest of all classes of share holders to advance this further capital for the completion of the undertaking. In most of the items included in their estimates the engineers had had speciflc data to go , upon. The price to be paid for land had been in great proportion ascertained and agreed upon. The permanent materials, sleepers, rails, and all other material for making the line had been actually purchased. If, then, the shareholders could find the means of prosecuting those works, they had now the opportunity of completing them et a comparatively law lost, and that completion could be effected by about twelve months from the time of putting the undertaking in a condition to let the works. Mr. J. GOTT seconded the motion. Mr. W. BOYNE said the dividend earned this half year would only pay one-third of the interest due on the guaranteed shares, tend if this was all that could be done with the lino to Tnirsle only, there was very little pros pect of any profit nor any further outlay of capital.— (Hear.) He recommended that an efficient manager should be appointed, who should eleven.: his whole time and attention to the affairs of the company.—(Cheers.) Mr. Duerrem strongly urged the making of the ex tension line to Uartlepool as soon as possible, as the only means of making the line to Thirsk remunerative to the original shareholders, and suggested that the directors should accept as final an instalment of even 2/. on the last issue of 10/. preference shares from those who could not pay more. Let them only complete the line, and then they might calculate upon the old shares going up in the market. Mr. T. FOUNTAINE said, the estimated traffic by the week was 2,648/., whilst the average actual receipts were iisii.—(Hear, hear.) With these statements be fore them, he and others had reason to find fault with the result, especially if it was to be attributed, as alleged, to bad management. Ho was told there was a great want of coal along the line, and that parties were obliged to cart it to the mills at Horsforth and Poole, at a cost of 2s. 6d. a ton. He then proceeded to say that the traffic on the route ought to yield a profit equal to 4i per cent. on the two millions expended. The resolution for the adoption of the report was then carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN moved the following resolution re specting dividends:— " That dividends be paid for the half-year ending on the 30th of June, 1830 ; the Preference Quarter shares at the rate of seven per cent. per annum on the paid-up capital: and six per cent. per annum on each sum paid in advance on those shares; and on the shares called Nos. 1, 2, 3, at the rate of six per cent. per annum ; and on the Preference Fifth shares at the rate of six per cent. per annum." Mr. POWELL begged leave to move : " That a committee be now appointed to assist the directors in considering the sufficiency, or otherwise, of the present arrangements for securing and collecting traffic, particularly in merchandise and minerals; also on the sufficiency of the present managing staff of the com pany ; and that the following be the members of such committee:—Mr. Stables, Mr. Powell, Mr. Newsam, Mr. Durham, and Mr. Sweeting. After some conversation the motion Was carried by a very large majority. _ JACKSON begged to move-- 44 That this meeting approves of the compl e ti on , a t th e earliest possible peri o d, of the Hartlepool and other northern extensions of the railway." Mr. W. STEAD seconded the resolution. Mr. Jackson's motion was then put and carried nem, con. The CHAIRMAN th en move d the confirmat i on of the forfeiture of a large number of Central Station shares, upon which 5/. per share had been paid, and the holders of which were unable to pay any further calls. The resolution of forfeiture being carried, The CHAIRMAN, in answer to a question, said that it was quite understood that the Harrogate and Pately branch would not, for the present at least, be made, and therefore no calls would be due upon it. A vo;e of thanks having been passed to the Chairman, the shareholders separated. MANCHESTER AND bOU uRT RAILWAY. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at Manchester; Mr. Broadbent iu the chair. From the report it appeared that the expenditure of the company during the half-year bad been 1,7811. Tie directors had not taken any steps since the last meeting with regard to the construction of any further portion of the line. The called-up capital of 81.3 x. per share would take a dividend for the past half-year at the rate of 1 per cent. per annum less than the current rate of dividend paid on the stock of the Lancashire and York shire Railway. The dividend to be payable on the 25th of SeptPmber next. The half-yearly statement of ac counts showed that 264,4191. bad been received, and 237,7434 expended, leaving a balance to the credit of the QUlSiny of 26,6156 Who ohly 1){1§ 1 . 2 00 1 40 , WWI The report stated that an arrangement had been con cluded with the proprietors of the 4,000 shares considered as having been fully paid upon, representing the interest of the late Heyle Railway Company, under which they will be entitled to the same amount of dividend only as the other shareholders in the West Cornwall Railway Comeany, until the last-named parties shall have re ceived by way of dividend an amount equal to 5 per cent. per annum upon the whole sums for the time being paid by them upon their respective shares. The com pany are authorised to open the line on the narrow gauge. The lift at Hayle will be obviated by a branch or incline to the wharfs there. The directors consider that the sum of 50,000 7 will he sufficient for the con struction of the extension from Hayle to Penzance. The land required for the extension has been obtained (with two exceptions) upon equitable terms. Upwards of 1,000 shares have been disposed of upon tee terms referred to iu previous reports, principally to par ties of influence resident in Cornwall. The directors think there is reason to believe that a formal preposition will daring the vacation be made to them by Mr. Mowatt, with a view to the compromise ci the matter in question, in which case the directors will deem it tbeir duty to cenvene a special meeting of the shareholders for their decision cn the terms. The revenue, account for the half year exhibits, as compared with the corresponding period of 1849, an increase of 677/. The expenses have been 6,546/., against 6,099/. for the corresponding half year, being an increase of 746/. This sum includes 400/. for new rails, and 1741., the cost of a new rope required for the inclined plane, leaving an increase only of 1721. for the additional traffic. The directors have concluded their negotiations with the holders of the 30,0001. loan notes issued by the llayle Railway Company, under which Fayment is deterred until June, 1852, with the ex ceptiorrof sums amounting to 2,0001., which have been paid off by the West Cornwall Company, leaving 28,000/. due on these securities. The lee chairman of the company, Captain W. S. Moorsom, has resigned, and his seat at the board has been supplied by the ap pointment of Mr. F. P. Barlow. The vacant chair bas been accepted by Mr. 11. 0. Wills. of Bristol. The capital account thawed that 213,1151. had been received and 211,975/. expended, leaving a balance of 1,1391. The revenue account for the helf-year ending the 30th of June Stated, that 7,4251. had been le ceived, and 5,9471. expended, leaving a balance of 1,4781. On the motion of the CHAIRNA.N the report was zee ceived and adopted. bn A long discussion ensued on the. subject of the ar,. / Dib: . meat alleged to have been entered into between the late chairman and Mr. Mowatt, .having for its object to postpone certain legal proceedings. Captain Moonsom read a statement relating to Mr. Mow•att's suir, and exculpatory of himself with reference to objections made to his conduct at the last meet ing of shareholders. Mr. HARRISON, after Some preliminary observations, stated that the main charge against Captain Moorsom appeared to be, that he had stated that no agreement had been entered into by him with Mr. Mreeatt with regard to an action at law pending between the latter gentleman and the company, but it appeared that a nrgutiltion on the subject had been carried on between those gentlemen. After a long conversation, it was ultimately agreed to let the matter drop. Resolutions were passed confirming the forfeiture of 385 share's, increasing- the number of directors to twelve, electing Messrs. J. P. Harrison, L. Vigurs, and G. M. Harrison directors, under the provisions of the recent West Cornwall Act, to represent the Hayle proprietors at the board, and electing Mr. Davey a director in the room cf . Mr. Barker, who retired. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the cbairman, ral direct )1.3. NEWPORT, ABERGAVENNY, AND HEREFORD. Yesterday the half-yeaely meeting of the proprietors was convened at the London Tavern, the Hon. W. E. Fitzinaurice in the chair, but as a sufficient number of shareholders did not attend to constitute a legal meeting no business was transacted .beyond the presentation of a printed report, which state.' that the debts outstanding against the company at the period of the last general meeting had been discharged, except the lean from the hankere, amounting to 2,5001., which is still due. To meet this liability, and any current claims, a large amount of arrears of call remains to be recovered; but the utmost resi.tance is opposed to the recovery of these sums by some parties who seek to relieve themselves of their liabilities. Actions are proceeding against these parties, and the directors aro sanguine that the unsatis fied claims will be met from the moneys in course of re covery. It was. with regret the directors observed that to the north of Hereford the Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway Company have not yet raised the required capital whilst to the south of Pontypool the line in courm of construction by the Monmouthshire Canal Company, to Newport, is still unfinished. Under these circntiastanees, the directors applied to the Llanvihangel, Qroiraont, and Hereford Tramroad Companies for an extension of their existing agreements to August, 1855, the period at which this nmnpany's power for constructing their line will ex pire. The directors; expect that the revenue of the tram reads will defray the costs of thair repairs and manage. merit, and pay the accruing interest on the unpaid por tiuu of the purchase-money. The general cash state ment to the 31st of July last showed a total receipt of 99,1191., and a total peyinent'o 98,9501., including during the kst half year an expenditure of 1,0961. The tram roads revenno account from the Ist of January to the 30'h of Jun ,i showed an income of 2,1511.; expenditure, 4011.; cash transferred to Newport and Abergavenny Company, 7181.; cash in, hand, 462/. ; outstanding ac counts in process of collection, 57t)/. In reply to inquiries from Mr. Robinson and other proprietors, • _ - The CimumAN said that since the balance-sheet bad been made up, some 4001. had been received which did not appear in the account!. There was a general under standing with the tram-road c,Anpauirs that they would carry on the undertaking in conjunction with this com pany, but there was nothing to bind them to do so be yond next July. The company would have to 'pay the tram-roads 25,000/. if the concern went on to complete the purchase of those roads, or one-half the amount al ready paid. The reduction of the directors to five had been effectr_cl, and they were not aware of any lia bilities beyond the 2.5001. There was a conditional contract with a contractor, who was ready t ► advance 100,000/. if the concern were carried out. The most ra tional thing to bo done was to take the sense of the dis tricts tnrocgh which the line was proposed to run, but this would, perhaps, be premature until the Shrenzhury and Hereford Railway was completed to the latter place. Mr. J. Bailey, the extensive ironmaster, was prepared to aid in its formation, and there was nu intention of mak ing a calf. The meeting then adjourned. NE WRY, WARRENPOINT, AND ROSTREVOR, The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders in this undertaking was held in Liverpool yesterday. Mr. F. Shand occupied the chair. The report stated that the most important transaction since the last meeting has been the completion, under certain modifications, of the contract s i gne d by Mr. Dar gnu in November last, for working the traffic. The di rectors succ , Tcled in effecting an agreement by which Mr. Dugan is to work the traffic for five years, and pay the company the net sum of 2,6001. per annum, in weekly sums of 50/., and equally divide with the company what ever the gross receipts exceed 80/. per week. A very important feature in the arrangement was the purchase by Mr. Dargan of the engines, tenders, and carriages at the cost price of the company, which amounted to 12,0001, to be paid for by Mr. Dargan surrendering mortgages for 10,0001., and the balance being settled in account. Under this arrangement the company's mort gage debt is reduced by the principal sum of 10,0001., and NU per annum interest thereon. The capital account to the 30th June showed that 116,652/. had been received, and 116,2441 expended, leaving a balance of 480/. The revenu' account showed that 1,3471. had been received, and 4991. expended, leaving a balance of 8471. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the re port, pointed out that the receipts of the line bad greatly increased since it had been worked by Mr. Dar gan, and held out hopes as . to the future prospects of the undertaking. Mr. RILEY expressed a conviction that the line would eventually be leased by the Belfast Junction or the Newry and Enniskillen Company. The report was unanimously adopted, and a vote of thanks to the chairman brought the meeting to a close. BRISTOL AND SOUTH WALES JUNCTION.—This com pany was to hare held its half-yearly meeting at Br 4 .stol yesterday, but a sufficient number of proprietors did not attend. The receipts have been 38,3411. Os. 10d., and the expenditure 29,400/. ss. 4d., leaving a balance to the credit of the company of 8,9401. 15s. 6d. Of this sum 6,6001, is out on loan, bearing interest. THASIES lIAVEN.—The half.) early meeting was to have been held yesterday, but as, after the expiration of an hour, a legal meeting could not be formed, it was ad journed for a fortnight, when the question of applying to Parliament for an extension of time will be brought under consideration. POP.TBURY PIER AND RAILWAY COMPANY•—The ae counts of this company show a balance in the banker's hands of 3,3251. 16s. Bd. The only item of expense for the half-year ending 31st of July is that of "Parliamen tary charges and expenses, 151. 13s. 6d." The half yearly meeting of the company, which will probably be dissolved, was to have Seen held at Bristol yesterday, but as a quorum of proprietors were not present, the pro ceedings were adjourned. LANCASDIRE AND YORKSHIRE.—The statement of accounts to be submitted to the shareholders on Wed nesday next has just been issued, from which it appears that the receipts during the half-year on capital account have been 526,6171., and the expenditure during the same period 304,1531., leaving a balance of 126,2541. On revenue account the receipts are 330,9171., and the dis bursements 153,687/. The balance applicable to divi dends is 93,6061. A dividend of 2 per cent. will be pro psed upon the general shares; 3,075/. have been placed to the depreciation account.
