—Half-yearly Mostisig.—Blrieenbsed, Feb. 10.—Alderman
J. BANCZOIR in the chair. The following report was sab•
witted :

lls referring to the statement of mounts for the half-
year ending the 31st December, the directors have to ob-
serve, that, as compared with the corresponding had-year of
1817, the ram available for dividend is oondderably in-
creased. The balance for this purpose in Dee. 1847, was
8,4141. ; the balance fur the halt year just ended is 13,9391.,
'homing ea increase of 6,5251., and yielding • divi-
dend of more than 21 par cent. per annum one
the 271. 10s. end the 221. sham. This result

rents of that company. The bill for limiting works and

and Northwestern, the Chester and Holyhead, and the
hreweb ary end Chester Companies haves ignifiedem their in-
tention to take the awasures required from thin con-
nexion with the Sale and Lease Bid. It will be satisfactory
to the proprieton to learn that the Dock Trustees have
entered into an egrleraent with enable contractor for the com-
pletion of that portion of the docks necessary to accommodate
several lioNtridanclurs of trade, for which this side of the river

Mr. Wurca asked if any of the directors were holders of
Cheshire Junction Shares t— The CELIMAN answered
affirmatively. Be stated that the board had received a letter
from a shareholder, Mr. John Herapath, with a request that
it might be mad to the meeting. That was a wet unusual
demand, bat he left these present to decide whether it should
be read or not. (Cries of " No, no.")—A FlKAanuouran
asked if there wee anything particular in it t—The CHAIR.
MAX : I think there is nothing in it at all. (Laughter.)
We have, however, received a letter of another character
be another quarter, which the board think I should read
to the meeting. It is from Baron Goldmild, one of the di-
vests 's. This was read : it ran somewhat to the following

The Ciateman relieved, is esorpatulatery teems, to the
inseam of traSe eat est in the report. In addition to the
geopomaime:jened by the intimation that the docks would be
emlesnipieted (kir thetiroe was limited), arrange-
ments were being mob which would much facilitate the mar-
eltundhe trifle at this end of the line, and he looked forward in
another kelf-year to slugs increase on the present return. The
chairman enumerated the beads of a calculation to show
(es he said he might do whilst on the subject of revenue)
that if the Chester and Birkenhead proprietary had had no
connexion with the Cheshire Junction, they would on their
clear earnings have been able to divide 4 patient. perannum.
He next referred to what had been stated in the report as to
the general station at Chester. During the next two years
he mod they would have to pay ons-fourili of the entire cost
of winkles the station, Instead of one-third, as originally
proposed.At the end of the two years, however, a new
as would be maned into, bay.ng respect to the
interests concerned. Each company using the station would
b 3 required to pay just fa rtion to the extent it was
interested in the station,sad no more. The London and
Norsk-Western and the Chimer and Holyhead Companies
had cemented at case to these amended terms, which were
but just, easing that when the original heads of
agreement were recorded, it was contemplated that
the line would be made from Chester to Stockport, a die-
taws of 45 mass, witness it was now only intended to carry
it as far as Moore, a distance of 15. In regard to another
matter he might state that consequent on what hada:tuned
within the last few dazzidtes note which they had just
received from Baron the board had felt It sheik
