THE SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH COMPANY.—The
report of the directors of this comiwny, to be presented at
the shareholders' meeting on the tth inst., is as follows :
—The directors have much pismire in submitting to the
proprietors the annexed accounts for the half-year ending
.10th June. In comparing them with those for the corre-
sponding period of 1865, it will be observed that there has
been an increase in the receipts to the amount of
1,610/. 2s. 2d., while the ordinary working expenses are
nearly the same, being 7,2331. 14s. did. against7,39Bl. 4s. 31.
In accordance with the terms of the resolution passed at
the meeting of proprietors in February last, the directors
intended to have charged the sum of 3,0001. for repairs to
cables in the statement of joint earnings; but, as it
appears by the law of Francethat the sum which has been
actually expended can only appear in the accounts, the
directors have divided the amount thereof between the
two companies, and have charged this company's revenue
with 2,40 W., being their proportion of the 3.000/.,
while the French company has charged their re.
venue with their proportion of the sum expended. The
total cost for the half year is 2,093/. 18e. 3d., of which
1,6801. 2a. trd. is to be borne by this company, consequently
the directors have in hand for future repairs a sum of
719!. 17s. 3d. The usual proportion of 10 per cent. on the
gross receipts has been added to the reserve fund, which
now amounts to 20,9141. Bs. ld., divisible between the two
companies in the proportion of 16,5891. 10s. 9d. to this
company, and of 4,3241. 17s. 4d. to the French company.
After providing for the interest on the debenture debt and
other charges paid by this company alone, there remains a
sum at the disposal of the directors which enables them to
recommend a dividend for the half year at the rate of 6
per cent. per annum, and to carry to the next account
1601. 13e. 3d. The transmission of messages by the Atlantic
cable must be a source of oongratatlaticra to the proprietors
of this company,
. not only from the additional irathc that
may be derived therefrom, but also from the fact that the
practicability of this mode of telegraphic communication
was originally proved by the promoters of this company
on the establishment of the submarine cable between Calais
and Dover.
