Great Western Docks on the 29th instant states that the
ent sanctioned at the extraordinary meeting has

shareholders, and circulars have been issued to the
holders of the preference shares for carrying the measure
into effect. TN, completion of this arrangement will
form a new era in the affairs of the company, and, coin-
ciding with the changes in the office establishment which'

taken for introducing an improved system of keeping.

shows a continued increase in revenue from the various
sauces of traffic without exception. Every effort has
been made to reduce the amount of working and other ee.
penes. ; but the price of labour has increased, and the di•
rectors have been compelled to advance the wages of unsay
of the employee of the company. Owing to the occurrence of
two accidents on the line, the amount paid for compensation
is unusually large. The board has, however, made every
effort to settle all claims without litigation. The sem
dente referred to were in noway attributable to any defect
in the line or plant. The increase of traffic has also
necessitated a large outlay for renews] of rolling and carry-
ing stock. Such renewal expenses will, the board is in-
formed by the locomotive superintendent, be materially
reduced in the current and succeeding half-years.
