Oennee-sheet; Mr. Steward in the chair. The chairman,
io moving the adoption of the report, en abstract of which
bas already appeared, observed that during the_past half-
year there bad been a deficit In the revenue, and from cir-
cumstances over which the directors had no control, the
maintenance of the lines had been more expensive then
usual. Thee bad hoped that at the present they would
find themselves in a position as satiefestory as that whiudi
they occupied at the corresponding period id last year, and
taking all cirennistanoes into consideration they bad not
thought there was any ranee for regret until in the early
part of this year the terrific gale which bed done so
much damage is the metreprlis had defeated the
hopes they bad so confidently entertaised. The
damage suffered by them, as well as by other telegraph
companies. was indeed very great. Nearly half el their
rystem had bees destroyed, and at the present time more
than balf of their offices were closed in consequence of the
effects of the storm. Notwithstanding the damage, the
revenue was very nearly equal to what it had been in the
same period last year, end although more than half of their
eases were closed, the whole receipts bed diminished but
to a very trillieg degree. They had been obliged to tisns-
mit their messages by band, and they bad thought it neces-
sary, in consequence, to levy additional charges, which bad
bees freely met by the public, who seemed serious to bear
mimed the lON isfinted by the stesa. Itepiying to queMioes,
