PirffUNATIC DISPATC/t COMFAffe. —The report of
the directors to the third ordinary general meeting of share-
holders state. that, in accordance with the intimation con.
veyed at the last general meeting, and under the sanction
of the proprietors. the experimental tube and machinery
have been removed from Battersea, and laid underground
from the Euston @tattoo of the London and North Western
Company to the district post-office in Eversholt-street.
The length of this tube is 600 yards. On the 20th February
last the Pat-office authorities discontinued their street
conveyances, and entrusted the company with the tram.
mission of the mails. From that date the service of tl •
district has been entirely performed by the company.
Thirty trains per diem (Sundays excepted) have
been despatched with perfect regularity, and up-
wards of 4,000 trains have run without impediment or
delay. The time occupied in the transmission has not
exceeded seventy_ 11411:004P. The daily cost of working boa
averaged N. 4s. sd. ; and five times the number of trains
could have been conveyed without any appreciable increase
of expense. Confirmed in their views by this result, the
directors proceeded to carry out the decision of the lent
general meeting, by the issue of a capital sufficient to
enable the company to lay a main line of tube 54 inches in
diameter, with the necessary stations, appliances, and
' machinery, from the Emden Station to the General Post-
office, in St. Martin's-le-Grind, and forward to Gresham-
street. This capital having been subscribed, the directors
entered into contracts with Mr. Barrow, of Staveley,
Meads. James Watt and Co., and Messrs. John
Aird and Son—the gentlemen who constructed the
original works—for its completion. The length of this tube
will be nearly 2i miles; mad the entire oat. so far as eon be
foreseen, including the laying, station accommodatier, a id
the necessary apparatus and pumping engines, will I e &haat
05.0001. The whole route has been carefully exam" .sd
definitely determined. From the active measures sloe by
the contractors in the preparation of the tubes and fisz nes,
the directors hope to commence laying the line at as earl
date, and will press forward its completion with all m
cable expedition. A considerable portion of the further
issue of shares has been taken up by the original proprietors
and the contractors, and the remainder has been allotted
among 76 new shareholders
