The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Saturday at the Euston station ; Mr. Scott in the chair. The CHAIRMAN moved the reception of the state ment of accounts, directors' orders, &c.; and the motion having been seconded, was carried unani mously. A resolution appointing Mr. Richard Atkinson (one of the auditors of the Great Western Com pany) auditor for the Birmingham and Oxford Com pany for the ensuing year was then passed; after which The CHAIRMAN said he hoped their next meeting in February would be a more interesting one than the present. Their works would then be in a state up proaching completion, and he bad no doubt the pro gress made would be highly satisfactory.

Should parties, however, stand out against them, they would, no doubt, be able to adopt some moans by which to prosecute their un dertaking, perhaps by obtaining, if necessary, an Act of Parliament. But he did not expect any annoyance whatever, and he saw no reason why the works should not be carried out without delay. Mr. HADLEY said he sincerely hoped that when their lines were completed there would be none of that ruinous competition such as was then being car ried on between two great companies. They could not afford to have their property injured by such pro ceedings, and he thought it might be advisable to appoint hereafter committees of shareholders to ar range matters and setle any vexatious disputes that might arise, and prevent loss and annoyance to both companies. . . .

DESTRUCTIVE CONFLAGRATION. Or.e of the most serious fires that has visited the metropolis for some time past broke out yesterday morning in the immense range of; premises belonging to Messrs. llorne (late lloulditch), coach manufac turers to her Majesty, situate in Long-acre, immedi ately facing Bow-street. The building was erected a few years since, at the expense, it is stated, of 30,0001., and at the time of the outbreak upwards of 100 carriages were on the premises. Owing to the wry inflammable nature of the stock within the place, the flames travelled with the rapidity of lightning, and as the fire rushed through the roof and various upper windows, immense flakes of burn ing material were wafted by the strong breeze over the roofs of the houses a long distance off, to the danger of their destruction. Three persons, who were sleeping on the premises * were with great diffi culty aroused by the police. They fortunately made their escape in their night-clothes. The equestrian troop of horses belonging to the Theatre Royal Drury-lane were located in Clarke's stables, at the side of the blazing property, but fortunately they were extricated in time. The fire-escapes and engines of the London brigade, C imbe and Co.'s brewery, and West of England Com pany, arrived with all promptitude, and plenty of water being obtained, all hands were set to work, but at five o'clock the flames had travelled completely round the building, and had descended three floors, of course destroying all that they contained, and there seemed every probability of the entire range of premises fall ing a prey to the fury of the devouring element. It was nearly noon before the fire was wholly extin guished. The total loss must reach to several thousand pounds, but great as it is, it would have been far more extensive had it not been for the indefatigable exer tions of the firemen, several of whom narrowly escaped with their lives. Respecting the cause of the disaster nothing positive is known ; but the prevailing opinion is that it must have originated from the spontaneous ignition of pain ters' wipings or lamp-black. The following is the official report of the damage done, as certified by Mr. Braidwood : " Sum:ar, AUGUsT 31, 1851.—A fire broke out at half-past three A.M. ' on the premises of Mr. W. Horne, coachbuilder, Nos. 93 and 94, Long-acre. The third and fourth stories burned out, and roof off; the second floor seriously damaged by fire and water ; the first, ground, and cellar floors severely damaged by water only. Pert of the stock on ground-floor da• maged by removal. The building belongs to the Mercers' Company, and is supposed to be insured in the Royal Exchange Fire-office.

It is that of a. man about G 5, dressed in brown frock coat and light moleskin trowsers. The body of Mr. Chittinfield, of Fountain court, Strand, who fell from off the Sunbeam steamer on Tuesday, was found yesterday at Lambeth, and removed to the workhowe iu Princes-road. The following report was then read by the secre tary : " The directors have the satisfaction to report that, with few and comparatively trifling exceptions, the im portant work of constructing the railway may be consi dered as completed. The unavoidable suspension of the works during the years 1847 and 1848, frem causes not within thee control of the directors, occasioned a longer continuance of the payment of interest upon capital, and otherwise involved a greater expenditure than was ori ginally anticipated. But notwithstanding the occasional difficulties and disappointments they have had to encoun ter, in common with the directors of railways generally, they can safely state that the estimates of the cost of the undertaking will be very clesely- borne out by the expen diture in the company's capital account. The purchase of property was a task of much difficulty and labour, and the estimate of expenditure under this head consti tuted, as the proprietors are aware, the heaviest portion of the general outlay. To keep t his expenditure within due limits required incessant attention, and the greatest cau tion in almost every instance. The owners and occupiers of property were, from the general character of the line, exceedingly numerous, and their pretensions for the most part exorbitant; in those cases, however, where the directors have been compelled to submit the question of compensation to the decision of a legal tribunal the re sult has been favourable to the company. Toe great value of property in f.hee, . mediate vicinity of the me tropol' The repilhtyleith which the'htid adjoining the railway is being covered with buildings since the works were commenced, render it impossible that a com peting line could be hereafter constructed having similar advantages with that of this company. The directors are, therefore, satisfied that the company possess a property eminently valuable from its position, and the resources of which will increase from year to year, by the constant erection of new tenements, bringing a cor re,,ponding accession of passenger traffic. In February last the directors reported that the railway had been opened for passenger traffic from Islington on the 29th September, 1850, and from Camden-town on the 4th De cember following. It was further opened on the 9th of June last to the Chalk Farm station, Hampstead road, where the railway is connected with the lines of the Landon and North-Western Company. A state ment showing the result of this partial working, from the 26th September, 1850 to the 30th of June, is now submitted to the proprietors in a separate revenue ac count. There have been carried during this period 1,792,968 passengers, the gross receipts from which amount to 27,0051. ls. 2d.; the expenses of working, exclu sive of rates and taxes and toll to the Blackwell Rail way Company, amount to 12,4934 65., and the balance of receipts over expenses to 7,209/. 13s. 11d.; which being further reduced by the interest for debentures on the current half year, leaves a surplus of 2,4301. 12s. 6d,, which amount the directors recommend be carried for ward to the credit of the present half-year's account. The directors have every reason to be satisfied with this short experience of the passenger traffic. There has been a steadily progressive increase in the numbers tra velling, and the facilities offered by the railway are thus becoming every day more evident to the public. The London and North-Western Railway Company have not yet been able to alter the mode of running their passen ger trains so as to work in connxion with this company's trains at Camden-town ; in a short time, however, this arrangement will be adopted, and a further accession of passenger traffic may be expected from this source. With respect to the goods traffic your directors have to report that the works for this portion of the company's busi ness are so far completed as to be in all essential points ready for immediate work. The floating dock at Black wall belonging to the company is finished; a siding con necting the company's station directly with the exten sive warehouses of the East and West India Dock Com pany has been made by that company, and portions of their warehouses have been altered and appro priated for traffic connected with this company's rail way. Sheds and the necessary machinery along the quays of the railway duck, for the landing and ship ment of' goods, and for the extensive coal trade, is in course of erection, so as to adapt these premises to the purpose for which they have been designed. The ex tent of the station at Blackwell has not yet been deter mined upon; but in the meantime temporary accommo dation will be provided until the exact nature arid re quirements of the traffic can be ascertained, and for this traffic the large area which this company possess ad joining their dock, and directly connected wish the rail way, affords ample resources. In addition to the goods traffic arising out of the c .nnexion between the London and North- WestertVitairviatObie dock warehouses of London, and the shipping in the Thames, which origi nally formed the extent of the goods traffic expected over the company's railway, the London and North- Western Company have recmtly acquired extensive warehouses in the City as depot for go ids to and from the metropolis, and which, p,s!ioß over the lilackwall and this company's railways, will materially add to the traffic on both. The statement of the capital account is submitted to the proprietors in the usual form. From this statement the proprie tors will observe that payments have been made on account of arrears of calls to the extent of 6,2251. during the half-year. Several proprietors whose shares have been f irteited, having exercised their right of redeeming their shares by paying up a:1 arrears with interest at 5 per cent., the amount remaining due upon original share capital is now reduced to 13.7501. The directors have succeeded in ',lacing the comparatively few debenture bonds which have hitherto fallen due at the reduced rate of 4 per cent. interest, and us others are payable they hope to effect similar reductions." The engineer's report stated " that the works of the railway included in the original undertaking are now completed ; and that the accounts of contractors are so far arranged as to enable me to state, with confidence, that these works will be performed within the estimated amounts. In constructing and completing the railway, the necessity of executing the works in the most durable manner, in order to bear the heavy traffic intended to be conveyed over the line, has been carefully kept in view; a great portion of the railway having now been at work nearly twelve months, there has been ample opportunity during this period of judging of its efficiency ; and from the experience derived by a continual examin ation, I am enabled to give a confident opinion that the precautions which have been taken will reduce the cost of future maintenance to a cotnparatively low amount. The importance which the passenger traffic has trzsumed has rendered it desirable that additional moans should be provided for preventing any interference with the regular working of that traffic by goods trains. With this view the works have been arranged so as to give a great extent of separate accommodation for the goods; and the sidings for coals in the various parts of the railway have been increased in their dimensions, in order to secure perfect freedom from interruption on the main line during the time of running the passenger trains. At the company's floating dock at Blackwell,' the sheds, with connecting rails, and the machinery for discharging ships, now erecting, only remain to be finished to admit of the premises being opened for busi ness in perfect working condition; these trifling works, being far advanced, will occupy but a very short time, and they are being pressed forward with every possible expedition." The CHAIRMAN said they looked for a further in crease in their traffic from several sources not yet de veloped, but the meeting would be glad to hear that in the two months that had elapsed since the accounts had been made up, the passenger traffic had already much improved. The gross receipts on the last two months, according to the present returns, would be upwards of 12,0001. They did not, of course, expect that this would go on as the short days and cold weather approached. A wet day now made a vast difference. All their receipts now were from passen ger traffic; they had not as yet carried one ounce of goods. He trusted when he next met them he should be enabled to announce a dividend.—(Cheers.) He begged, in conclusion, to move the adoption of the report. Mr. JAMES YATES complained that the North- Western Company had not completed the communi cation between the two lines, all that was required being now an increased length to the platform. Major ALCOCS said the directors representing the independent shareholders were out-numbered and swamped by those representing the North-Western and the East and West India Companies, none of whom necessarily need be shareholders. The SOLICITOR said, that in leasing the line the Act provided that it must be done by the shareholders themselves, and not by the directors. The report was adopted, and after a vote of thanks , to the Chairman the meeting separated. BIRMINGHAM, WOLVERHAMPTON, AND DUDLEY. 7 The half•yearly meeting of the above company was then held ; Mr. Barlow in the chair. A resolution adopting the accounts, &c., having been seconded and carried, The CHAIRMAN said the Dudley line, although not in so forward a state as the Birmingham and Oxford, was, nevt-rtheless, progressing very satisfactorily. Its completion would follow close upon that of the Oxford line ; for engineers, contractors, and all parties con cerned, would use their utmost endeavours to forward the works. Mr. ASTON said he congratulated the shareholders upon the state of their works, and the near approach of the completion of their enterprise. He hoped that when the lines were finished, their expectations would be fully realised, The meeting then separated. BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD. BIRMINGHAM, SATURDAY.—To-day the half-yearly meeting of the above company was held at their tern porary offices in Snow-hill ; Mr. Barlow in the chair. After the advertisement calling the meeting had been read by Mr lierabaw; -" ' S~*_rwc.~ The CHAIRMAN said they might depend upon it the money of the Birmingham and Oxford Company would not he spent in any such way, and that every effort would be made to reconcile differences. He might, however, observe that the speech of Mr. Glyn the other day could not tend to that object. He considered it a most injudicious speech—indeed, he could not have made a worse, threatening all sorts of evils, absorption of dividends, anticipating loss of life by accidents, &c. Had the speech been made later in the day he should have thought it an after-dinner address. In conclusion, he would say that anything like the olive-branch would be received by the Great Western Company ; for the only ends they had in view were the interests of the shareholders, the convenience and benefit of the public. NEWMARKET. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Saturday at the London Tavern, Mr. Fane in the chair. The Secretary then read the report, as follows : "So short a period having elapsed since the 30th April, when a full report of the position and prospects of the company was laid before you, the directors have little to add to the information then furnished. The agreement with the Eastern Counties Company has been finally settled, in the same spirit of good faith which characterised all the proceedings, and has received the common seal of the respective companies. To aid in producing a cordial co-operation between the companies, it was suggested that one member of each board should be elected to the other. Your chairman has been unani mously elected to the Eastern Counties board, and the directors are happy to say that the chairman of the Eastern Counties board has consented to give your board the benefit of his great experience. As soon as the directors had concluded the agreement with the Eastern Counties Company, they arranged with your former contractor, Mr. Jackson, that he should com plete the line into Cambridge, as a single line, for the sum for which he had previously agreed to find contrac tors to do it, and having made this arrangement, they proceeded to get possession of the land. In doing this they had some difficulties to encounter, in consequence of their Parliamentary powers to take lands having ex pired. They, however, by duo exertion, got the better of those difficulties, and after some delay placed Mr. Jackson in possession of the whole line. The works have now been some time in progress under the super intendence of Mr. Samuel, who has been appointed en gineer to the company, and they will be shortly com pleted, when the real value of your line will be tested. " The traffic has nottexhibited so much improvement as had been hoped for. It has, however, improved; and the improvement being aided by a considerable ditninu t,ion in the expenditure, the result will be, that the line will have produced, in the+ halt year, nearly sufficient to pay working expenses and debenture interest, so that the loss on the hal f-year will be of no very serious amount. The directors hope that it may be diminished when their ac counts are finally sottleel wi'h the &uern Counties Com pany. The charge hitherto made for rolling stock, is, as they conceive, considerably mere than it ought to have been. The directors continue to entertain sari ptine hopes as to the future trotlio. " The accounts for the half-year are appended. It will be seen that the directors, though fully appreciating the vote of the shareholders, passed at the last meeting, relating to themselves, have declined to withdraw any suns from the funds of the company until the line is completed to Cambridge. " '['be directors regret to he obliged to state, that a shareholder in one of the extension lines has proceeded against the company in Chancery, in reference to the extension fund in which he is interested. It is the more to be regretted that such proceedings should be taken, because it seems to your directors that the moment the Cambridge branch is completed their attention should he steadily directed to one at least of those extensions, that to Bury, which was strongly recommended in the report made to you in 1849 by the committee of investi gation, which report you adopted. Some inquiries have already been made in reference to that extension, and it it shall appear upon further inquiry and careful calculation that a single line can be constructed to Bury, so as to pay not less than 5 per cent. on the outlay, it is the in tention of the directors to go to Parliament for such fur ther powers as may be wanted. Much, however, must depend upon the disposition of the landowners. If they are really desirous of having the railway, and will give their cordial assistance, the directors have reason to hope that it may be made and afford a remunerating re turn. If otherwise, the directors will not attempt a project which, under untavourable circumstances, would probably fail for want of funds." The CHAIRMAN said that since their last meeting the whole attention of the directors had been turned to making the line to Cambridge, as the only source from which a material amount of traffic was to be looked for. There was every reason to hope that the line to Cambridge would be opened in the course of the month of September, and from that period they might expect an increase of traffic, which would place theirs in a position very different from that iu which they had hitherto stood. The directors were now turning their attention to the making of the branch to Bury, and had already adopted measures for the purpose of carrying it out. Comparing the receipts and expenditure with those of former years, there was a difference of not less than 3,0001. in favour of the company, arising from the increase of the former and the dimunition of the latter. In answer to a question from a Proprietor, The CHAIRMAN said, that when the line was opened to Cambridge, it was anticipated that the returns, in conjunction with the sum of 5,0001. which the Eas• tern Counties Company had engaged to pay to them, would suffice to pay a dividend of three per cent. The directors had never hoped for prosperity until the completio❑ of the Cambridge line, and ho was con vinced that the steps they had taken were such as to lay the foundation of prosperity. The report was then agreed to. Thanks having been voted to the directors, the proceedings terminated. THE THAMES HAVEN RAILWAY AND DOCK COMPANY. The half-yearly meeting of proprietors in this un dertaking was advertised to be held at the company's offices, Gresham Rooms, Basinghall•street, on Satur day, but at the hour appointed a sufficient number of shareholders did not attend to constitute a meeting. It was stated, however, by a director, that the report prepared would have advised an adjournment, as the board were in communication with some influ ential parties, with the view of giving increased life to the scheme, and as the Thames Haven Amendment Act, which received the Royal assent on the Ist of August, gave the shareholders power to split up the 50/. shares into such smaller proportions as they might determine, a special meeting at some future day, not far distant, would be convened. WHITEHAVEN AND FURNESS JUNCTION. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Siturday, at the Guildhall Chambers, Basinghall street ; Lord Lonsdale in the chair. The report was read. It was stated that the traffic account exhibited an increase of receipts over those of the previous half-year of 5571. 195., while the ex ppnditure was 5761. 13s. As the company was now being supplied with engines more suitable for the traffic of the line, it was anticipated that a consider able saving would be effected in the cost of locomotive power, and in the outlay for repairs, which had been considerably increased last half-year in consequence of an accident. The balance of the traffic account of 794/. in favour o f the company, was applicable to the payment of the interest on the mortgage debt. It might have been expected that after the opening of the main line through, the revenue account would have presented a more favourable result. But it should be borne in mind that the railway was but part of a general lino of railway . atill iaccoplete, acid .._ SOW H YORKSHIRE. The half-yearly meeting was held at thei Cutlers' Hall, Sheffield, on Saturday. In the absence, through indisposition, of Earl Fitzwilliam, the chair man of the company, the chair was taken by Lord \Vharncliffe. Mr. HANFIELD, the secretary, read the report, of which the following are the material portions : The directors' report stated that the net revenue for the six months ending 30th of June last amounted to 20.2341.95. 5d., being sufficient with the balance remaining on hand, after paying the fixed dividends and annuities on the navigation and canals, to allow of a division upo❑ the railway shares at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum. The main line to Barnsley was complete, and passenger trains commenced run ning between that town and Doncaster on the Ist of July last, the traffic being worked with the plant of the Great Northern. Tne holders of navigation shares, who have hitherto received a fixed dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, will from the date of such completion share in the general profits of the undertaking, on the same terms as the other share holders. Such of them, however, as may desire still to enjoy a permanent dividend at the same rate as heretofore, are enabled to do so by accepting the offer made to them early in the present year, which offer was now repeated, and the period within which it may be accepted extended to the Ist day of November next. A few days ago they received a com munication from Mr. George Hadfield, of Man chester, conveying certain proposals for the lease of the undertaking, purporting to emanate from the Midland and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln shire Railway Companies. Considering the agree ment already existing between this company and the Great Northern Company, which agreement received the sanction of the proprietors on the 11th of April last, the directors felt they were not in a position to entertain any other proposal to which that company was not also a party. The quantity of coals carried during the six months had exceeded 100,000 tons, and the directors anticipated a considerable increase on this tonnage during the current half-year. The auditors reported that they fLund the accounts of the railway clearly end properly kept, and consi dered them correct. With regard to the river Dun accounts, the auditors believed them to be substan tially correct, and that the amount exhibited as a ba lance available for dividend was a just one. The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report, and went at considerable length into the arrangc ment with the Great Northern Company, and tee communication from Mr. Hadfield referred to in ti e report. Mr. HADFIELD moved, as an amendment, that the further consideration of the report be adjourned to a special meeting, of which notice should be given, at which meeting also should be considered the proposal of the Midland, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln shire Companies. Alderman IlooLE seconded the amendment. After some discussion a show of hands was taken for the amt-ndment, the result being that there were 5 for, and 34 against. The report was then carried with four dissentients. Mr. HADFIEI.D asked what security was propoaed to be given to this company by the Great Northern ? Was it to be merely Great Northern preferential stuck, or would care be taken by the directors that they had the security of their own property in addition? The CHAIRMAN said the agreement had not yet been drawn up, but the directors would take care that the proprietors had the greatest possible security. The meeting, after afl•"irming the declaration of the dividend recommended in the report, terminated with a vote of thanks to the Chairman. LLYNVI VALLEY. On Friday the half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors of this railway was held at the offices, West Strand; Sir R. Price, Bart., M.P., in the chair. The SECRETARY commenced the proceedings by reading the report, which alluded in the first place to the Royal assent given to the Bill which had been approved of by the shareholders at a former meeting. It directed attention to the reduction which bad been made in the tolls on this line, and to the issuing of a debenture for 4,5001. to the South "Wales Company, in lieu of the share capital held by them—interest is to be at 4 per cent. In the accounts of the past half-year it would be found that the grass earnings have experienced a small increase, and the expenses a slight decrease, as compared with the previous half-year. The net balance of 1,9721. ls. carried to the general revenue account as the profits to the 30th of June last, with the balance at the credit of that account, made a total sum of 2,1911. 14s. 11d. now at disposal. The retirement of Mr. Matthews from the chair manship of the company was notified with regret; the duties would be undertaken by Sir 3. Price, Bart., M.P. The capital account showed that a sum of 113,0461. had been expended, and that there was a balance to credit of the company of 2,5231. From the revenue account it appeared that the receipts for the half year had been 4,030/., and the expenditure 2,058/., leaving a balance of 1,9721., which, added to the ba lance from last half-year of 2191., left an amount l available for dividend of 2,1911. Upon the motion of the Chairman the report was received and adopted. Tue CHAIRMAN moved that the directors be autho rised to issue a mortgage under the common seal of the company to the South Wales Railway Company for 4,5001. upon such terms as they mi g ht think ex pedient. The resolution was put and carried. Upon the motion of the Chairman a dividend of 4 per cent. was declared, the same to be pay a bl e on and after the 29th of September. The Rev. Mr. Ksiionx asked the reason why the same dividend as before (4,i per cent.) could not be paid on the present occasion ? The CHAIRMAN said it was explained in the r . eport. He then moved that the best thanks of the propriet.ary be given to Mr. Matthews, for the able and efficient manner in which he had presided over the interests of the company during his chairmanship. The motion was unanimously ag reed to. The Rev. Mr. KNIGHT then gave notice that at the next general meeting he would m ove the followin g resolutions : " That in consequence of the altered circumstances in the relative position of the new and old proprietors under the provisions of the late Act of Parliament, the management he remodellec.l, and the number. f the um c tors reduced to seven , a nd that their collective remune ration shall not exceed 200/ per annum. in " That for the future the g,,neral business of the con cern shall be curri ed on some locality convenient to the port and railroad, a tQ that the _London office be giv en up on the shorte st p ossible notice." After a vote of thanks to the Chairman the meeting separated. EAST ANGLIAN. The usual half-yearly meeting of this company was held at the London Tavern on Saturday ; H. Bruce, Esq., in the chair. The report, of which the following are the Portiolah was taken as read principal ~~~--- [eh was - ptrised authorietag us rest Not them this coux,pany affix thel vom ailed terms of directors,' we __ Sorthernr:Rail way Company, to which the common seal of the reepeo tire companies was affixed on the 16th of May, and on the 10th ult. the Great Northern commenced working the traffic over the East Anglian lines in pursue ace of that agreement, the heads of which will be read to the meeting after this report. The Eastern Counties Com panY having by every means in their power obsttucted the through communication at Wisbeach, the pe esent receipts can fo•m no criterion of the extent of traffic that may be expected to result from the arrangi went with the Great Northern. We have every real on to expect that when the obstruction at Wisbeach is re moved, a new and extensive intercourse will take place . between the East Anglian district anti the northern and midland counties, as well as towards the south ; especially as the great estuary scheme, which is now making rapid progress, will render Lynn One of the best ports on the eastern coast, and enable it to command en extensive trade with the Baltic and the ports on the North Sea. The opening of the ' Towns' Line' of the Great Northern, which is to take place next spring, will afford a new and important vent for our traffic. As the East Anglian has Parliamentary power to run over the Eastern Counties line from Wisbeach to St. Ives, we have no doubt that that company will be compelled to remove the obstruction which they have in terposed., and which has caused great inconvenience to the public. Previous to carrying into effect the agree ment with the Great Northern, it was absolutely neces sary that the receiver should be removed; this could not be effected without the content of each of the numerous creditors who had been made parties in the Chancery suit, which had been instituted by the committee of cre ditors, and as those parties refused to give their consent without security for the payment of their costs, it be came necessary to deposit the sums in the following statement, to abide the taxation of costs, and 5001. to cover the expenses of the committee; also 5001. to!cover the actual outlay o f t h e receiver, W. Seppings, Esq., .;, _ ~,,,,,„_,e....e . te l iet to whom all who are i nterested in th i s company are ' much indebted for the manner in which he per formed the responsible duties of his office, and for having relinquished his claim for commission. The new Act, which received the royal assent on the 24th 1 July, authorises us to carry into effect the measure which was referred to in the last report, for the reduc tion of interest on the new 7 per cent. Preference shares, and a large proportion of the issued shares have been surrendered for the purpose of being converted into 5 per cent. shares, on the condition that the creditors agree to the premed arrangement. The House of Lords hay ing rejected the clause which required a large portion of the b and to consist of the holeers of the new shares, red which was made a proviso i n the a g reement p ro p ose d -) '-e committee of creditors, that agreement becomes void. --- ie therefore necessary to apply to the creditors for their assee. inessee, deed, which is now in course of being signed. We trust,,. t both bond and simple con tract creditors will see the gresa A van tage that will ac crue to them from placing the affairs-,e t h e company on such a basis as will put an end to that ruinous wes e of money in law which has, during the last twelve month-, absorbed on amount equal to half a year's interest on all the liabilities of the company. It will be satisfactory to all parties interested in the undertaking to be informed that notwithstandin g all the difficulties with which we have had to contend during the last two years, the liabili ties of the company have not been increased, further than the amount spent in law, which now swells the amount of overdue interest; the total ameeent of bond and simple contract debts being under 308,000 e, to which is to be added arrears of interest, about 22,0004 It is quite evident that if the creditors had unanimously agreed to the proposals made by the board there would not now have been more than half-a-year's interest in arrear. As we have considered it desirable that the present accounts should, as tar as possible, embrace all the el« bts due by the company, and the accounts of the company's solicitors were received too late to admit of their being examined by the board, we have instructed the accountant to enter these accounts provisionally. We have the satisfaction to inform you that the line which connects the East Anglian with the Great Northern at Huntingdon has been completed, at an out lay of less than one-third of the estimated cost of that line as originally planned, and that the present junc tion is much more convenient and satisfactory to the public. The coal traffic suffered ,greatly from the ex treme mildness of last winter, and from the ' turn-outs' amongst the sailors and porters at Lynn, which lasted for several weeks; and the general traffic continues to be unfavourably affected by the depression which prevails in those districts which are mainly agri cultural. The prospect of an abundant harvest gives us reason to expect a large increase in the traffic receipts, as soon as the through communication at Wisbeach has been re-established. From a statement of the receipts and expenditure to the 9th July, 1851, it appeared that the receipts were 1,332,5211. Is. Id., of which sum there was a balance in hand of 5851. 14s. sd. The receipts arising from the Seven per Cent. Preferential Stock, created by reselutions of the 28th February, 1849, were 23,7351. lls. 5c1., which sum was 204/. 9s. sd. more than the expenditure on this account. The statement of re venue account from the Ist January to the 9th July, 1851, showed receipts of 17,5661. 15s. 103e1., and de ducting the disbursements, there was a balance of 5,3861. 17s. lid." The CHAIRMAN said the directors had to apologise for the lateness of the date when the report was issued. That was owing to a delay in receiving the auditors' report end the accounts, which did not reach the board till after Wednesday lest. He now proceeded to make a few remarks on the auditors' report. The directors, in their report, stated that the soli citors' bills had been entered provisionally, as they had not had time to enter into the items. He sug gested, with respect to these accounts, that the au ditors should make some arrangements with the so • licitora, or that some other course should be adopted ; but he did not think they should have brought the subject under the discus s ion of the meeting, which could not enter into such minute items as lawyers' bills were composed of. With regard to the remarks of the sudLors on the agreement between their com pany and the Great Northern, he did not say that the directors considered they best fulfilled their duty to the company by submitting that agreement to some of the most eminent men at the bar, and having ob tained their sanction and approval as to its being per fectly valid, affixing to it the common seal of the board. With regard to the expressions of the auditors respecting the claims of the company against the Eastern Counties, he did not know whence they ob tained their information. Certainly it was not from the board or himself. Though the claims might be settled amicably, it was their duty to inform the shareholders that no progress had yet been made towards that settlement. Having made these remarks, he would proceed to state a few matters relating to the corn peny. lie hoped that an arrangement so beneficial to the company as the conver-ion of the debts into preference stock, and the conversion of the shares al ready issued at 7 per cent. into 5 per cent. stock, would be agreed to, and he had every reason to be lieve that such would be the case. At present he was not able to state more on that subject, as a delay had occurred in obtaining signatures, but every effort would be made to effect that purpose. With an ex pense of over 11,0001. for law costs, it would be ruinous to proceed. The working expenses had been for the lest half-year at the rate of 6/. 12a. Bd. per mile per week. It had been stated iu some news papers that the expense amounted to 121. per mile per week, and the receipts were 91. per mile per week, showing a loss of 31. per mile per week. Now where did the payments come from if such was the case ? Nothing was clearer than that the working expenee of the company was as stated in the directors ' report, at the same time that the plant, &c., were in ex cellent order. Having referred to the accounts to show that the average consumption of coke was ve r y small, he proceeded :—So much for those whowere endeavouring to upset the arrangemen t s r which, to if carried out, as they hadever y hope they would be, w ou ld actually reli reason relieve that com pany from debt. The et prefer ence stock at 5 per cent., bonds and debts were hole amount of the converted into shares, woiufldthBeb4e9,33o,ooo/. Now, if he should like to they had sold out stock in h I value of their preference know what would be shares or their originalisthaeres. At the present time In the total amount of the i r liabilities was 330,0001 , when they were first made the beginning the Their lcompanylines w W er a e s o in nly a acquainted with their affaire, state almost reality hopeless. and their funds were all miles of expended. At half finished, the present timedtbey had_ 68 cellentit only remained for an improve menthe agr ic ultural districts for the company to . order, t an in derive a fair and remu n erative profit. He w as h appy to say that in the present year the harvest in Norfolk was i n A better condition than it h a d been. He would now allude to another topic. During the period of four years neither he nor the other directors had received any remuneration. Now that was neither in accordance with their dignity or the dignity of the company ; and he thought, before separating, that they should take the subject into considera tion. Their staff was at present reduced to the secretary, the 'remainder having been transferred to the Great N ort h ern Company. Such being the case, he trusted that the shareholders would excuse any delay that might take place of a secretarial chit racte-r. Ile concluded by moving the adoption of the paper. -1 :\p• E. SPLP seconded the motion. araNshonie:AlßMAN, in reply to some questions, said he thought it was better not to interfere with lawyers in up a legal document. With regard to there be ing any litigation respecting the agreement, he be lieved there was no document that was not open to litigation. He believed, however, that the agreement would be found to be in conformity with the spirit of the Act of Parliament for railway litigation. That agreement did not preclude the company from giving accommodation to other companies as well as the Great Northern, to pass over their line. All it said wa9, that they should afford the same accommodation on the same t erms. The liberty of using their station was another story. The heads of the agreement having been recd, The Cuanuasx sgid it ma specially looked to in
