As much interim! attaches to the position of the
Riga and Dunaburg Railway Company, it may be
useful if we recapitulate the documents in the posses-
sion of the director. in London. These comprise—
let, an authenticated copy on stamped paper of the
ukase of May, 1863, granting the concession of the
railway to the committee of the Rip Exchange;
and 2ndly, the convention entered into between the
committee of the Riga Exchange sad Mr. Robinson,
on the part of the company, signed by the various
parties to the contract and by the imperial commis-
doter. This document refers specially to the ukase
of 1853 as granting the concession, is dated June 19
(July 1), 1858, and has the seals of the contracting
peruse and of the imperial commissioner attached to
it. The stipulations contained in these documents
will be embodied in the ststutee, which will be laid
before the shareholders as soon as completed; but
in the meantime the directors observe with
reason that to submit the details of the
agreement between them and the Rip Exchange
committee would be impolitic and contrary to
the usage in such eases. They also urge that it would
be impossible to hand these lengthy documents to
every shareholder who may apply to peruse them,
especially as it might not tend to the advantage of
the shareholders in general were premature publicity
to be given to them in the present condition of the
company. An article appear.. in a St. Petersburg
paper lust received in London, an which the writer
refers in terms of satisfaction to the favourable re-
caption given here to the Rip and Dunaburg Rail-
way concession, extols the wisdom of the government
in granting a guarantee, and deduces the augury that
Russian credit stands as high as ever, despite the
late war. This article is considered of some impor-
tancei owing to the strict surveillance to which the
Russian press is constantly subjected.
