Yesterday the half-yearl7 meeting of this com-
pany was held, at the company s office, in St. Ilelen's-place.
FitAsab, Es., the governor, took the chair,
The SlltlltrAllY having mad the minutes of the former
ming, the CUAIIIIIAN read the report, which is as fol-
ws

" At the last general meeting in March a full report was
made to the proprietors of the state of the affairs of the com-
pany to the end of the year 1850, showing that during that
year their progress had been active and very successful, and
the general state of prosperity in the province indicated a con-
tinuance of the same satisfactory state of things. During
the period which has since elapsed all the accounts re-
ceived arc of the same favourable character, and hold out
every prospect of continuance. Since the commencement
of this sear the transactions of the company, under every
head, have been larger, and still more favourable
than in the same comparative period of 1850,
as will appear front the following statements:—
The lands sold from the Ist of January to the sth of June,
1851, were: of the crown reaerven,'2,sM acres ; of the Iluron
tract, 4,674 acres; together, 7,204 acres; sold at an average
price of 1 15.104. per acre. During the same period in 1850
the lands sold amounted to 3,642 acres, at 12n. 64. per acre.
ou an average. The lands leased in the present year during
the same period are as follow :—Crown reserve., 8,51,6
acres; Huron tract, 33,985 acres; together, 42,5811.;
leased at leis. 4d. an acre on an average. During the same
period in 18.10 the quantity of land leased was 33,137 acres,
at 16s. Ild. per acre on an average ; the whole quantity of
land so disposed of in the first five months of the present
year was therefore 49,785 acres, and iu the same period of
last year 37,079 acres, showing an increase in 1851 of
12,706 acres. The collections of money have also aug-
mented in the same remarkable manner, and all this is the
more worthy of observation, inasmuch as the year 1850,
with which the present comparison is made, was the most
successful, upon the whole, the company have ever known.
To money received from Ist Jan. to sth June, 1851, has
been as follows: —To bills receivable and interest,
14,9291.0 e. lid. ; for the same period in 1850,11,7531. I9s. 25.;
' increase in 1851, 3,175/. Is. 4cl. For purchase money of
land sold in 18.51, 6,5361. Os. 3d. ; in 1850,

1,344/. 161. 941. Ani then the total receipt under these
heads for the Ist 5 months of this year has been 29,290/.

Showing increase of receipts in 1851 of 8,2391. frs. 11.1.
The results are so satisfactory as to require no comment;
but there is one important feature in the company's affairs
to which the directors will now wish to call your attention ;
it was brought under notice in the last general meeting in
March, as indicating the prosperity of many of the settlers
on the company's lands, who had engaged their holdings by
way of lease. It was then stated that during the year 1850 the
!ewes of 5,564 acres had completed the purchase of their
lands with the company by paying their money down lung
before the period when their option expired. The same
evidence of the ability of many of the settlers to possess
themselves of the fruits of their exertions continues, and in
an accelerated ratio. In the first 5 months of this year the
lessees of 4,523 acres have in the same manner completed
the purchase of their lands by the payment of the money
down before it became due. In the same period of 1850 the
purchases so completed in advance amounted to 2,426 acres
only, thus showing that in this respect likewise the
sound position of the company's affairs is not only
well sustained, but continues to advance. The directors
dwell with greater pleasure upon this fact, because it
seems especially to confirm their confidence in the result of
the system adopted some years ago for disposing of their
lands by way of lease ; and, as a very large portion of their
current engagements with their settlers now depends upon
this form, they are desirous of calling the attention of the
proprietors to every fact which establishes its safety and
super:ority. It may possibly be supposed by those unac-
quainted with the details that the effect of a plan which
allows persons possessed of little or no ready money to settle
upon the company's lands must be to introduce a large body
of pauper and undesirable settlers ; but the fact is, as was
anticipated when the system was adopted, that it is framed
exactly to meet the wants of some of the moat industrious
and valuable classes. Previous to its being introduced there
were a great many men in the British provinces having
valuable farms and abundance of stock and implements,
well experienced in the best method of farming in Canada,
wbo would have gladly nettled with their families upon the
company's kinds if it bad been possible for them to have dis-
posed of their other property for money. A very large number
of the company's lessee settlers are of this class, and availed
themselves of the facilities offered by the company'
terms of
lease not only to settle themselves, but to take up farms
around them for their children, for whom they could not
obtain such facility in their former neighbourhoods. Al-
though not having money at command, by removing
themselves and families, their stock and agricultural imple-
ments, they possessed everything necessary for working
new farms successfully, and their experience gave them
great advantages in doing so. The company s plan of
leasing has been well adapted to encourage this valuable
clan+ of settlers, but it is equally convenient to many others,
particularly to new emigrants having but little money, as
it is much better, hoth for themselves and the company,
that the money they have should be employed in improving
! their farm., and in the purchase of stock, than in payment
for the land. The operation of the company has been to
invest a large capital in the purchase of land, but instead
of hastily withdrawing that capital from the province when
Ithe land is sold, they continue, by. their system of leasing,
to lend it for limited periods to industrious settlers, who
are able to complete the purchas e of their farms out of
the fruits of their own labour. The directors have to state,
in conclusion, that they have sufficient funds in hand to pro-
vide the half-yearly dividend and the interest due on the
debenture debt on the 31st July next, and a surplus appli-
cable to the discharge of a part of the debenture debt. In
addition, there is a balance in the hands of the commis.
'amen In Canada of more than 10,0001., available for any
for which it may be required."
Pl'ne CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report, and
that a dividend of 6 per cent. per annum, clear of income
' taz, be declared.
Mr. M'OAREL seconded the motion, which was passed
unanimously.
Mr. M. T. SMITH alluded to the valuable services of the
chairman and directors for so long a period as 25 years.
during which time they had only accepted of half the usual
sum voted to them. He thought this would be a most
, favourable moment, after such a satisfactory report, to re.
quest those gentlement to put in force the resolution passed
in 1827, by which • sum of 1,5601. was awarded to the
directors for their remuneration. It was better to make a
motion to that effect as foram lapse ef time and not being
acted upon, the old resolution might be considered cbsolete.
(Hear, hear.)
' Mr. M'CIAREL seconded the resolution.
The CHAIRMAN said that if it were a freM vote of
money it would require • notice to be given to the proprie-
' ton, but as the resolution alluded to was still in force the
motion before the meeting would answer all purposes.
The resolution was then put and carried unanimously.
Mr. lIIBBERT, in moving a vote of thanks to the chair-
man and directors, alluded to the prosperous state of their
affairs and the large sums now likely to fall in from year to
year as their leases expired. (Hear, hear.)
The court then adjourned.
