The directors ham more than once addressed letters of

The mortgage debt of the company on the Slat July,
which falls due between the year 1850 and 1856, is
1,046.7821., this has subsequently been increased to
1,1693821. by the issue of bonds to the amount of 122,4001.
at 46 per mat. per annum.
nu directors will propose a resolution author Wag them to
bete 300.0001. of new stock, and also 141,7001. of unallotted
stock at a guaranteed rate of interest.
The directors have delayed to cirry out the alterations and
improvements that have been suggested in the organisation
of the staff of the company, and in the allotment of the
dollies of its officers, until they obtained poseession of the
new offices at tole North Kent terminus, which are now Foe-
tidly in use, and mill in a few days be completely so.
The use
to bminem which has been occasioned by
the separation of the diceeton, clerks, and celeste of the
company from each other into different buildings has
been greater than can he well described ; this will now
be obviated, as the whole of the new offices are on one
floor.
The directors elected Francis Curwen Smith, , to be
a director in the place of Sir William Feilden, Bart.
The directors, en conclusion, beg leave to reiterate the re-
marks which doe* their financial statement. They con-
sider that the mince of working railways with economy Is
still in Its infancy, and can only be attained by ears and
great experience, an i they have the moat coefident expecta-
tion that great improvements will a:melees to be made under
this head ; their own experience justifies them in wanting
that great reductions will be made in the expenditure on
revenue amount. The proprietors will not fa,' to observe,
that the difficulties which at present attach to the commence-
ment and completion of * undertaking like the South.
Santora Railway are apparent to every see ; the prospective
advantages which follow upon the full establishment and
development of a great commercial Institution ere net so
sulking, but are properly to be considered ,• and, to do any
kind of just* to the subject, Sr. to be simult,neously taken
into account in attempting to arrive at any fair *insets of
its value. Toe directors trust that the unabated confidence
which they entertain in the Smith-Eastern Railway will he
shared by the proprietors; and it will be the study of the
directors to promote the interests of the company to the best
of their ability.

ItAMITAT MEETING.

JIDINDURGH AND GLASGOW.

-----
The ordinary half-yearly eneral meeting of the share-
holders in this company was held in the Star Hotel, Glasgow,
oa Tuesday, the 18th inst., rwrzs Biroxstlan, Bag , in the
chair. . . .

The report stated that, although there Is an increase In the
reosipte for passengers, there is a very considerable deiresse
en the number carried. This decrease is, doubtless, partly
attributable to the opening of other lines, giving tourists or
traveller for pie *sure a choice of route. The working ex-
penses are 30,4191. 2s. Bd., showieg a diminution of MI.
compared with the corresponding period of 1848. In sewed-
mice with the intimation given at the last meeting the 'aphid
account is now closed, and every farther expenditure beyond
the sum now stated shall be met from revenue, no further
sum being called from the shareholder, or borrowed from the
public.
The CSAIIMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
stated that he bad little further to add to what the repon
contained. He would, however, be willing to give any ex-
planations, and answer any questions which might be put to
him. Blase the report was issued, several letters had been
addressed to him by shareholders, complaining that it did
not natal& a statement of the liabilities of the company, in
reference to other lints. Ouch a statement was made is the
lest report, and rime, no alteration had taken place. He
might state, however, that the coustruetion of the Edin-
burgh and Bathgate line would cost 200,0001., and they
were bound to pay 4 per teat. during its formation ; but
it was proposed to amalgamate with this line, which would
enable them to do away with the expenses of the double
direction.- Ia the Iltirlingshire Midland they had expended
75,1351., sad it woald re quire a further sem of 76,4001,
to newish, it, thus making a tent of 151,5101. This
stock bore 5 per mut. latereet till 1852, an/ after that
51. They paid 8 per cent. on 140,0001. is the
Wileastown, but they bad the option to buy up the line at
751. per share, which would amount to 210,0001.; 60,0001.
would still be r. %aired to op. a the lire to Datigate, mak.
big a total of 270,0u01. They were else interested in the
Btirling and Dunfermline, hat as that company had failed
to obtaia power to make the Rae to Stirling. the director of
this osserseny_ nerd in consequence advised that they had
ao further IhUlity in connexion with it.
Mr. U. DunLor s.eoaded the reselutioe, which was
agreed
Mr. Il'CLnhtrien, at the instants, of M. Cox and other
gentlemen in Bdiabargh, gave notice of notion for next
bailout, meeting, than the company. should run morning
and etrening trains from each terminus on Duane, the
accommodation to be given by Brat, mooed, and third elms
carriages being attached to thenail trains.
The meeting than separated.
