It will be seen that the locomotive charges are 8,2061. is
es excs of three for the corresponding period, while the ex-
penses incurred under the heads of carriage and waggon
account, carrying account, and general charges are increased
by 7,8261., 18,9361., and 12,175/. respectively. Of these sums
about 10,5001. is included in the charge of 22,901/. for
working joint lines and stations. These expense, together
with the increase in the rent charges and in the interest
account, form the principal items of the additional charges
against the revenue during the haM-year. It may also he
stated that revenue has borne the whole of the charges for
intone: on capital outlay, together with the proportion due
to the half-year in respect of reconstruction of viaducts and
renewal of permanent way. After providing for all fixed
and preference charges the available balance will admit of the
payment of the following dividends:—On Great Walters
Consolidated Stock at the rate of 34 per cent.; West Mid-
land (Oxford) Stock, 2 per cent.; Welt Midland (Newport)
Stock, 11 pet omit ; West Midland (Hereford) Stock, 5 per
nest.; South Wales Consolidated Stock, 34 per mot. per
annum. The helium to be carnal forward will amount to
6,0871. 9s. sd. The outlay on joint capital account during the
half-year has amounted to 241,2061. The expenditure Ins
been incurred chiefly it. respect of stations and works, roll-
ing stock, and workshops and machinery. The narrow
gauge communication with the Vale of Neath Railway at
Aberdare, the extension of the Wycombe Railway from
Theme to Oxford (forming a second route to that
city through Buckioghamshire), and the Coalbrookdale
branch have been opeued for traffic during the half-year.
The directon, impreened with the necessity of making some
alteration in the arrangements for the conduct of the legal
and parliamentary business of the company, have, after
much consideration, appointed Hears. Young, Maples,
Teesdale, and Young to be the solicitors of the company,
upon the condition that Mr. Young's services are to be fully
and specially devoted to the company, with such assistance
es may be required from the other members of the fine.
During the past half-year the nerd has specially directed
its attention to the stations, sidings, and other accommoda-
tion throughout the line. To meet the expenditure which is
being incurred, it is neceasary that the capital sanctioned by
the act of 1864 should now be created, and a resolution will
be submitted to the meeting for authority to raise the ram
of 1,000,0001. under the provisions of that act. It will be
in the recollection of the proprietors that the by-law which
was passed in February, 1863, required that the consent of
the shareholders should be obtained before she introdnotioo
1 into parliament of a bill "authorising any new railway
l or for an extension, lease, amalgamation, subscription, or
i guarantee by the Great Western Railway Company in
i I respect of any undertaking." The directors, anxious to
give effect to the spirit in which that by-law was framed,
have given one month's notice of their intention to submit
to the meeting the bill introduced into parliament for
" conferring further powers on the Great Western Railway
Company for the construction of works and the acquisition
of lands, and otberwise in relation to theirowo undertaking,
and the undertakings of other companies and pomace,
and for other primate," and a resolution will be pro-
posed to the proprietors for their sanction to that measure.
The agreeohnit with the Hammersmith and City Railway
Company, which will be in substitution of the working
arrangement under which the traffic of that line has
hitherto been conducted, makes provision for a tender or
lease in perpetuity of the Hammersmith line upon terms
which will secure to the holders of the ordinary stock of
that company a dividend commencing at 5 per oent. in
1865, and increasing annually by ;, per cent. per annum
until 186, when it will amount to the maximum of 54 per
i cent. The ordinary capital of the company amounted on
the 31st of December last to 179,8841., and the preference
and loan capital to 114,7541. The t with the
Metropolitan Company provides for e rennin of 25
' Great Western trains daily, in each direction, Onweea
Paddington and Farringdou-street or Finsbury, for which a
minimum payment at 25,0901. a year is to be made to the
Metropolitan Company.

DRAMA.

PRINCEBB'S.
A piece of amusing extravagance, called Heart
Strings and Piddie Strings, which may not be inaptly de-
scribed as a solo on the violin, was produoed at this house
lest night to replace the extravagance which has now been
withdrawn. Mr. David Fisher, the author or adapter, plays
the chief charaoter—an eccentric lover with ruueital tastes,
sad his well-known talent as a violinist atoned somewhat
for • wait of merit in the farce. The Sends of London will
probably be retained in the bills until Suter, when Mr. Dion
Bounicsoles new Irish drama, Arrak *a Pogue, will be
produced, with Mr. and Mrs. Boucioault, Mr. John
Brougham, and others in the principal characters. Mr.
Telbia is painting some of the scesery, and the drama will
be placed upon the stage in a most affective manner.
