vook some of " the principles upon which laws
should be founded, and op which the peemaneat
prosperity, and

condemned Mr. Oledsteorls reduction Of the wine duties

expenditure ; and compared, with a revolt unfavourable to

which, in his opinion, have cocibined to produce this state

DANUBE AND BLACK 354 RAILWAY,
AND KUSTENDJIE HARBOLB COMPANY
(LIMITED).-(THIS DAY.)

The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors was
held ►t noon at the company's oilcan, Z 4, Abingdon•street,
Westminster ; Sir S. CUKLID in the chair.

The report, which a previously circulated and
published, having been takes as read,
The CHArRMAN observed that the line was WOW, 1111
they all knew, so late in the season that they could not
reasonably expect much profit from it this year. It was
necessary, however, to open the line in order to
organise it and let the public know that traffic
both In pasaengers and in goods might be con-
veyed. The directors had entered into an agreement
with the Danube Navigation Company and the Austrian
Lloyds to call regularly at Kusteedjie and Tchernavoda, so
that communicatiou was now established throughout to
Constantinople. Several other companies had proposed to
call at their elation', which would extend their operations
to other parts of the Black Sea.
Mr. Stous said he supposed the two_ companies named
had acceded to the terms offered by the board.
The CHAIRMAN replied that they had. He added that
the directors would recommend the miming of 50,0001. by
meow of the imbrued shares for the purpose of carrying at
the harbour worka, in the belief that by the end of next
year there would be a perfectly safe harbour for large ships
—ships drawing 20 feet of water.
In reply to questions,
The Cuanza,' said that the unissued stock amounted to
100,000/., none of which it wax understood was to be Sena
without the smut of the shareholders ; and that the total
capital was 400,0001. Be concluded by moving the adoption
of the report.
14. Pastm said, having witnessed the opening at Hue
teedjie, he had so hesitation in seconding the motion. As
a member of a committee he had recently bees
over the country, and had found all the repro.
mutations merle at the starting of the company in 1887
perfectly correct as to the trade of the Danube, the die.
colter of navigation, the products of the country—
geese and cotton--and the great increase of commercial in-
tercourse which must take place if greeter facilities of
transport were. afforded. Their line avoided that part of
the river where the chief difficulties existed, and he himself
had travelled over the short distance from the point at
' which they commenced to liustendiie, which was the place
that afforded the greatest facilitim for anchorage, in two
hours ; whereas, under the most favourable erratum-
. stanoe, the transit by the river occupied thirty-4x hours
All that was wanted was the necessary accommodation
at Kusteodjia, for which an additional capital of 50,000/.
was sow asked ; and there could be no doubt that the en-
terprise would be a moat successful one. All that was neces-
sary at Kustendiie was to throw out two moles, which
could be done by tipping stone from waggons into
the water. The expense was easily ascertainable,
it being only so many cubic yard' at so much per yard, sad
the effect would be that they would have a harbour afford-
log safe anchorage and always with calm water.
Mr. Minis thought that unless the shares remaining to be
isauad heal a small preference, say 4 or 5 per cent, with an
option of movement into ordinary Mares within eight or
ten yeere, they were not likely to be Liken.
The CHAIRMAN expressed a hope that the shares wauld
he readily accepted without any preference. He bad, be
said, a very high opinion of the undertaking.
Several gentlemen expressed their willingness to accept
their proportion of the new issue, and a large amount was
subscribed for in the room.

The report was then adopted.
The retiring director' were reelected ; and • resolution
woe agreed to anthoriong the board to leant WU "harm of
1001. each pro rata to the proprietors.
A vote of thanks we. given to Mr. Price and the other
members of the committee for their valuable services and
report.
A similar acknowledgment to the chairman terminated
the proceedings.
