(THIS DAY).

This day was the seventeenth ordinary general
meetiog of the proprietors at the Leedom Tavern, Mr. W.
P. ANDREW in the chair.

ThilTeportlaalread; been published, and was taken an
reed.

_
The Cgaraxax said the last portion of the report was the
most important. The government had given them its
sanction to accept a tender for the construction of the line
to Delhi. This tender was made by Messrs.
Braseey, Wythee, and Henfrey, and it was perhaps
the largest contract ever made with • siagle firm—
the entire amount of the oontnwt being about 5,000,0001.
He believed that the most solid advantage would worth to
the propieton from the construction of this line. A teem
of coal had been disoovered is the Puojaub which
was found to be very valuable for Incoinotive pur-
poses. The only question waa whether it existed
in say great quantity, and steps would be taken to 'seer-
thin this. The whole of the Punjaub line would, he hoped,
be open for traffic when he next met them. He need
not tell how much was to be expected by them
when this took place. The profits from the
flotilla were double what they were during the
previous balf.year. The Snide Railway was not working
with that increase of profit which from the beginning they
might expect. But this was nwiog to exceptional causes
which were paining away. The commerce of India was
greatly on the increase, and when the communications were
completed, and the resources of the country developed,
they might augur from their undertakinp the moat satis-
factory results. (Hear.) He concluded by moving that the
report be adopted.
Sir H. MADDOCK seconded the motion.
In reply to questions put to him by shareholders,
The CHAIRMAN aid that the traffic returns were sent
weekly for publication, and why they were not published
like the traffic returns of other railways be could not say.
The net proceeds of the Sciode railway bore a proportion of
about 15 per cent. to the interest guaranteed by the govern-
ment, There were not enough of boats on the Indus for
their purposes. The Punjaals railway would have been
finished two years ago if they bad a sufficiency of boats on
the Indus for the conveyance of materials. The steamers on
the river had given a greet impetus to commerce.
The motion was then put sad adopted.
