PNEUMATIC DDPATCH COMPANn.—The report of
the directors states that when they last met the proprietors
they aotie.pated being enabled to report at the present
meeting that the works between Euston station and the
City were approaching completion. In this expectatioe
they have been disappointed. It was intended to carry the
tubes through the Bedford setate, and as the perharaentary
powers of the company moons the opinion of counsel amply
sufficient for this purpose, the board decided on adoptive
that route. A combined opposition on the part of some of
the Duke of Bedford's influential tenants led to considerable
delay is negotiations, sod ultimately threatened to involve
the company in a protracted litigation. Under these cir•
eminences the clinician carefully recoesidered their posi-
tion, and came to the conclusion that it was not pro.
dent to iumr the great lose of time which mast ham
arisen in defending cod maintitinieg the company's rights,
and they accordingly directed their engineers to proceed by
another route. la a work of this novel kind the formal
notices and segotiaticas required in mesection with the
various public trusts in the metropolis have also retarded
the progress of the company's operations lowr than was
contemplated. The diffimlties and delays arising out of
them impediments appear, however, to have been nearly
all overcome. As eligible site for the eeetral ratios bas
been acquired is Holborn, sad on very reemeable firma
The directors regret that so long a period has bran oeeepied
in bringing the project into prodigal use. They are
sanguine in the belief that the fall measure of advance as
stated by the engineers say be relied co, and the efficient
and economical working of the tubs to the District Post.

exceeded the set profits of the corresponding six mouths
