slatting these of maintenance of way) were 6.9621. 134. 10d.
mane time the dine ors expressed their expmtatioes
that the expenses of the succeeding half-year, which are now
laid before the meeting, would be diminished. In this ex-
ipectation they have not been deceived. The expenditure
for the hil..year ending the 28th Februaly last is re-
duced to 6,3011. 7s. IL The receipts for the same
period, the least productive of the two divisions of
the year. amount to 6,7131. 16e. 5-1,, being a falling-
off of 3051. 9s. 64. upon tome of the preceding six mosths.l

woe time list year, show an thaws du the three
on mths. amounting to about 2601., which it is h may be
considered as an indication that Flanders is slow y recover-
ing amen its prostration and distress. The directors have to
mete that the proceedings .n Chancery, which were aban-

have RolMrt Stephenson, as executor of his late
tether, been renewed by another party, the same soli-
citor being engaged; which course has mused sums trouble
and inconvenience. The directors have put in an answer to
