GENERAL LAND DRAINAGE AND IMPROVEMENT
Co ***** .—The half-yearly meetlag of shareholden in
the above seaway weir held yesterday at the company's
Aces, 52, Parliament-street, the chairman of ths company,
flr. R. Her Seymour, presiding. By the report, which
lid been prepared for the meeting, it appeared that the
diremon sew grounds for satisfaction in the progress that
had been made by the company. Delays in the Intimate '
Commissioners' Alms, and some sesentary impediments
which stood in the way of the earlier contracts, continued
still to influence their proceedings is the eampletion of
contracts, which had been evassweently kept down to the
estimate of the previous repast. Still the earreat amount
of business continued to iacresse, and the coatrasts men-
pitted might be considered to have secured a fair GRIMM
of remuneration to the proprietors. Pearling contracts pro-
ceeded favourably also, so that the menpany might now be
looked upon as fairly established in public estimation. The
great operation of draining the Test Valley wu in pro►
torte progress, its Sums being in • great measure owing
consent of Viscount Palmenton and Lord Sher-
boree, two of the principal proprietors in the valley.
After alluding to an arrangement with the original pro-
Motets, of no public interest, the report continued by
Stating that, after deducting expenses, a balance remained
asphalt's to dividend. The directors, in conclusion, re-
censeanded a dividend et 31 per cent., being 1 per cent.
