It appears fnaea7l;ereix;r7;iti7rii;eelon3; be presented ,
to the proprietors at the half.yearly meeting to be held on '
Monday next, that 614 mike of the railway were opened in
1843, 11 miles from Stone to Colwieh in May last, 8 miles
from Coegleton to Macclesfield on the 18th of June, and
271 miles from North Rode to Uttoxeter, on the 13th in- ,
stant, and on the same day the Wellington branch, 44
miles; total length now open for knells, 1124 miles. The
original estimates have not been exceeded. So far from
the competition of the railway having interbred with the re-
ceipts of' the canal, the tonnages have been funned. while
the working expenses have been diminished. The re-
sult is, that the receipts being equal to the present
charts of 781001., and that the future charge being
58,5001., there will remain a surplus equal to the in-
terest upon the debenture debt of the company, leaving
the whole net earnings of the railway available for
dividend. The profits will admit of a dividend of 3s. per
share. The direetare have entered into a antnet for work-
?!raffle ; the expensesiacluded are the working, re-
and, replacement of the engines and carriages of every
'ption, wages, stores, nasintenauce, and repair of work.

monthly return of the traffic on the railway and canal. The
