The report, which appeared in the Ezprtai of Friday last,
having been taken u read,
The CHAIMIAN, ia moving its adoption, said he trusted
the pen viete.r would voyeur with him in thinking that the
reaalt of the Ir.e half.year's working was satisfactory. The
revenue .1. count sh, owed an increase in nem ly every
description of tr.flle, and consequently the directors were

the treaty with France be UM disposal to infer front put
espericrice that the inereandtraffic arising front that entire
would ultimately be very large. No panto( the increased
dividend had hewn got out of the rout or plant, everything
having been charged to revenue which it ought to bear. He
believed t hey had now pretty well surnionntW theirdiffteulties
awl hall an improved prospect before them. He regretted,
however, that they were still subject to legislative
injoatice. (Hear, heir.) The boarl felt /strongly the

AVM/. a year, and most of the holden lived within an ea.y
walking dedance of the terminus. No one residing at a di.-
tance could tell what time it would take him to reach
the line ; and hence few season tickets were
held to inhabitants of the Weetand. The
station accommodation must be brought as near
the great centres of business and population as
jomilde. The opportunity afforded by the Charingorom
eclogue was not to be neglected ; and the cost of providing
station accommodation there would not he disproportion-
ately gr. at. Such an ezteusion wu also needed as • pro-
tective measure. They were on good terms with thc:r
neighlouri the London and Brighton Company, but they
must not be at their mercy. (Hear, hear.) Authority
would, with the consent of the proprietor+, be sought from
parliament for this purpose.

A 13e.t BEHOLDER objected to this queetine. He had him-
self pet it no a tamer occasion, and it was ruled that he
bad oo tight to do so.
Mr. ANDRIMS maid he regretted that when their dividend
was impriving schemes should be prepriunded which tended
to keep them down. (Hear, hear.) The Charincenon

He then complained that the fares on the Greenwich line
were too high. an.l contended that they ought to he mode
as low as thane on the London and 'Blackwell line. He
attributed the Mere.e in the local traffic in a great degree
to the increased travelling of the military, by which term

He hoped moldier' would increase, and war world thus

but let ear break out, and no one would give much for the

Mr. Geottur tinrrn maintained that the Charing-cross
extension would bring an irunienio amount of remunerative
traffic. If they attended to their own interests, and to them
alone, they hail nothing to fear.
A SHANtHuLDIK said as a proprietor he had come there
to advocate the exten.ion of the line to Charing-cruse.
He was confident tli.,t it would very much advance the
interest, of the company.
Mr. MANTUA .kitl the only fear he had with regard to
a West-end terminus was that they might think too much
of injuring other, insteiel of considering solely what was
most likely to benefit themselves.

The CHAIRMAN, in reply, said it was the anxious desire of
the directors to do their hest for the company, and on ono
point they were unanimous, namely. in a determination not
to spend a shilling without the prolxibility of a return.
The experiment of reducing the fares on the Greenwich line
bad been tried, and they had lost money by it.

The funds to-day are inanimate and perfectly
stationary in price. Very little business is going
forward. The attention of the dealers is now
directed to the approaching monthly settlement,
fixed for the 6th of Sept. The fortnightly settle-
ment in shares awl foreign stocks is now in full
progress, and will be completed to-morrow. British
railway stocks in several instances are higher.
The usual telegrams from the Paris Bourse have
not yet come to hand.

share market. The preparations tor the settlement
show that the outataudingspeculation, though mode-
rate in extent, is less circumscribed than had bceu
expected. The rates of "continuation" were gene-
rally moderate, but there were exceptions, as in
Midland and Great Western stooks. The "conti-
nuation "on the former commenced at to 5-16

advanoed three per cent., touching to-day 13i discount.
