BEDFORD AND CAIIHILIDOZ RAILWAL—The half-
yearly meeting of this company was held yeatenity ; Mr.
W. B. Whitbread in the chair. The report Meted that
there tad been received on capital 308.9471.14 a. lea.. but the
expenditure has exceeded that sum by 14.7881. 71.7 d. The
debenture debt has been contracted es follows : 110,1281. at.
44, and 15,4231. at 41. The total receipts on revenue ac-
count for the half.year have beep 9.6221.7.. ea.; and de-
ducting 3,3791.10a.10d. for working expenses,and 1,815/.36.2d.
for interest on loam, there remained for dividend 4,4271.
135.6 d.. which permitted one at the rate of 34 per omit.,
and left 3221. to by carried forward to the next amount. The
chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, thought
they bad every rawest to congratulate themselves upon the
gnomes of the undertaking so far, inasmuch as 34 per cent.
was by no means a bad dividend for an incipient line, and
eepecsally so when it. was horse in mind that the line bad'
been only five months opened for goods italic, and six
months for the passenger traffic. In the hands of such ma
honourable company as the London and North Western,
and considering the demand for coals along the line, they-
might expect it to be worked well, and be remunerative.
The motion having been seconded by /Ir. Lyon, wee una-
nimously adopted ; sod a resolution wee perm Manioc
the number of the board from 15 to 9.
