LANCASTER AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
yesterday at Lancaster, Mr. Haul' in the chair.
Mr. Bolden, the secretary, read the report, an abstract of
which appeared in the Ezpresi of yesterday.
The CHAIRMAN commenced by referring to a circular
circulated among the proprietors, which expressed dissatis-
faction at the conduct of the directors. The directors felt
rather strongly upon this subject, as the limbed paid a bet-
ter dividend for some time put than say other railway
in the kingdom, except it were a guaranteed
line. It certainly was astonishing to the board
that the proprietors should entertain a greater
degree of dissatisfaction with their proceedings than be ob-
served, from readipg the r, porta of the various railway
meetings throughout the kingdom, to have been the case
even where the dividend had been extremely smell, and in
some instances whero there had been no dividend whatever.
(Hear.) There seemed to have been loss dissatisfaction even
in such cases than was conveyed in that circular. He must
say that the amount of the dividend (61 per cent.) was
one of the strongest points any set of directors
could offer to the proprietors on that score; that
of itself was a sufficient justification of the proceed-
, lags albs directors, and should at all events screen them
ties that sort of obloquy, wild& was sought to be cut upon
