EASTERN COUNTIES.
Yesterday, the half-yearly meeting of the ahar4-
holders in this company was held at the London Tay an,
Mr. DAVID WADDINUTOM was in the chair. The attend.
sate was numerous.
The usual prelimisaries having bean complied with, and
the report (which was given is the Express of the :Ist
instant) having been read, the accounts lasing taken as
read,
The CHAIRMAN said, that it was his duty to maks
some observations upon the report which they had just heard ,
read to them. It was the anxious desire of the directors,
that the shareholders should know the exact position of the
company. Although their receipts had be en increased to
the extent of 24,2831. 4e. 6d. over the corresponding half of
last year, still he regretted to say that the increase from
passengers was only MOi., leaving an increased receipt from
wale of 24,0001. tie attributed that increase of traffic to
the arraignments and negociatioas which they bed entered
into with other cowponies, to the advantage alike of
the public and the proprietors. It was gratifying to
And that the expenses of their locomotive and car-
riage department. hod been greatly reduced by
the beseficial system adopted by Mr. Oooeh in working oat
what was celled "the renewing system," and he d:.l not
hesitate to say that their working establishment was aft-
'newly accomplahed at • reduced cost. There was also a
saving in stores this year of 9,3231., or nearly 60 per cent,
and iu the expense of stationery. he., 2,4401., and that
without in any way diminishing the efficiency of the eima-
pay. With respect to the expense of the way and works,
they were aware that a fund of 8,0001. had been set aside es
• depreciation fund, but their superintendent now in-
formed them that that sum would not be required, but that
is lieu thereof they should set aside 901. per mile per sa-
sus, which by adopting • system of 4. liehlotiatiar would
be amply adequate to eunble them to keep their permanent
way without infringing on the proceeds of any half-
yea. H. regretted that the East Anglian had nut
bees able to hand in their accounts in time la have
them placed before the shareholders, bat he was glad that
he was in • 064M0 to inform thins that the net proceeds
In the half-year were 8,4001., while the guarantee of this
company for that line was 8,6001. So that no lose could be
spprehended, while great incidental advantages would
accrue to this company. With respect to the Newmarket
company, they were in • condition to pay them off by pay-
iag 161. per share, if the shareholders thought that ad-
visable; or they had the option of paying them under the
arangentat sanctioned by an act which was passed in
the last eseekia of parliament. This was the time when
the Great Northern Company were wishing to form a com-
munication with the Newmarket Company by Cambridge,
and, if that had been dune, the the Great Northern would
eventually gut into the heart of Suffolk:and Norfolk, and
r would not only bare obtained possession of the Newmarket
line, but would have encouraged the Eastern Union to
aggressive system of policy towards the Eastern Counties.
The resat woull have been most disastrous if the Newmarket
line had not been taken sad made a stopgap. The Great
Northern Company, finding themselves checkmated on that
point, termed their attention to another, end that was to have
the power of running over the Eastern Counties line from
Peterborough to Wisbeeh. The Eastern Counties arranged
with the East Anglian Company, by which the Great
Northern Company discovered it to be its interest to cease
seeking to work over the Eastern Counties line, and to stop
, short at Peterborough, so far as regarded the right hand of
, their line. The Great Northern, finding that the Eastern
Counties had obtained possession of those two important
links of communication, at last turned sttention to that
peaceable policy which the directors of the Eastern Counties
Railway had long ago recommended, and the letter then
met the Great Northern Company in that spirit which
ought to actuate men of business who were desirous of pro-
moting the prosperity of soy undertaking committed to
their charge. (Ilear, hear.) Tho result was, that by de-
priving the Great Northern of the means of mischief, they
were enabled to make a fair and equitable arrangement with
that company. He made these remarks because he thought
it desirable to 'magmata the whole of the interests to the
right of the Great Northern Railway for the purpose of de-
veloping the trade of the whole of the Eastern Counties'
district. Let them amalgamate where they could work
is unison, and where the public interest would be pro-
moted by a fair interchange of traffic, but let them not, to
annoy a compsny, keep up in competition a line
which, in periods of great excitement, was intended to
be a competing line, but which has ceased sines to have
the power to be so. This had been the coarse pursued
by their d.rectors, and he believed it had been the means
of putting into the man of the Eastern Counties Com-
pany the increased mum of 24,0001. (Hear, hear.)
This could Dot have been ethetsd if they were fighting and
quarrelling with their seighluars, who ought to be their
allies ; and the system of Wein ad the olive branch to
those who ought to wadi is ammo was the best for all
parties concerned. (Hear, beer.) The boa. chairman
next adverted to a paragraph Is the repel Mlle dineton
of the Eastern Union Railway, in whist' It was said that
the genera Counties Company were not over a

verted to the proposed new Me from Ilford to Tilbury and
Southend, a detailed dolman of the preswidiwp con-
nected with white, already publicly known, be gamto the
meeting. After the Rae amid be seeemested by the con-
tractors, he said that be* the lessees Counties Railway
and the Blackwell Railway, on sae of them, were to work
the traffic at • fair rate of charges, and he recommended the
meeting to give to the direetess power to obtain the plant
necessary to work the work the line. He was convinced,
looking to the district and the member of people likely to
' proceed by the Rae, not only to Gravesend but to Margate,
—for fast Memmers to run UMW were to be pieced ea the
station,—thalt **mass of trale which would he created

line at North Woolwich. Judging from the piemima al
the dock shares it seemed to be one of the begi

the Eastern Counties line. (Hear, hear.) hlaetbden,
