General NZWIT
in the chair.

The SECRETARY read the following report :—" The
accounts to the Ist instant, and balance-sheet, duly audited,
are submitted to the proprietor.. The continued depression
in relation to Irish railways has prevented your directors
from concluding any of the arrangements with other compa-
nies authorised by the set passed in the last session of parlia-
ment. It is, however, considered that the time is now fest
approaching when some general settlement respecting rail-
ways in the north-western districts of Ireland will be effected,
whereby the property of this company cannot fail to be
rendered available and productive. Understanding that
government was likely to aid is the completion of
certain of the Irish lines, your directors, for the pro-
tection of your interests, took care to submit, in the proper
Reinter, a statement showing the position of this company
in regard to others for which such aid was required, and
there is the best reason for believing that it such assistance
be given, care will at the same time be taken to snare fur
the pab:ic • pusses for the traffic to and from the east coast,
which cannot be effected except by means of your line. This
object, as connected materially with the interests of the
company, your directors will continue their best exertions to
promote ; and in asking the shareholders to leave the matter
in their hands, they can only point to the course of their
past proceedings as affording the best guarantee for the fu-
ture. Your directors, pursuant to the resolution of the last
general meeting, have invested the sum of 8,0001. on mort-
gage of the undertaking of the Newry, Warrenpoint, and
Rostrevor Railway, at short dates, and bearing interest at
the rate of 6 per cent. per annum.

GILT WESTERN Ban..scn roost SLOI7OII I'o WM-
soa.—From the rapidity with which these works are pro-
ceediag it is contemplated that the branch Shown' be opened
fur traffic in the course of the ensuing summer. The exca-
vations between Slough and the Thames, at Windsor, over
which an iron bridge will be erected, are fast progressing, as
I re also the works on the Windsor side of the river.

RAILWAY NEWS.-FRIDAY.

We have had a rather better feeling in the share
market, but with little alteration in prices. The
Great Northern Railway statement made a favourable
impression, and improved the shares. French lines
were in request, and obtained rather higher rates.
