EAST INDIAN 11.CLEHY COMPANY.
(THIS DAT.)

This afternoon the twenty-second half-yearly
of the proprietors of the above railway was
Ml9Vai'llatos Tavern; Mr. It. W. Co %liFqllD, M.P.,
eentrisen of the board of directors, in the chair. The attend-
ance IMP very 1111.0i11101311.
The report, which has already been published, having been
reed,
The C NAUMAN said it wee a matter of deeps et to
the directors that the progress of the works had been
Interrupted by the outbreak In India. It was, however,
• SWIM el milidactios that the Wiry to the rail-
way would mit be so great as might have been ex-
pected from the mime and extensive character of the
mutiny. Many of the teinpany's damn had Man in the
etraggle, but s• yet • cermet wawa bad not Men obtained
from India of the killed, wounded, or miming. At Delhi,
Mr. Taylor, their engineer, and Mr. Ben, en inspiessr,
were Mad ;at Cawap dye Moen of the linglaveriag
Department, and at AlYLkad, Mr. Modem, the hicamothe
superintendent. AD the serviette of the company had shown
the mutineers • bold trent, and too much penis, could not be
arm to them for the mallow they lad made, md the
they had run to protect the property tithe com-
pany. It was intended to auk the meeting to peas • vote
up= this subject, and to specify in it the names of Mears.
Boyle, !icily, Whitmore, and other who succeidully en-
countercd the rebels at Arrah and clrewhere, and who
were warmly complimented for their bravery, In a letter
which the directon received ban the But India Board yes-
terday. (Climes.) The injury done to the works of the
eatzery ad been greatly exaggerated. For the oat-
en urred joat before the commencement of
the rainy lesson, and that circumstance to earns
extent prevented the mutineers doing any considerable Injury
to the works. It was only the Mallow they had succwded in
destroying, the line itself was little injured, and the last mail
brought them intelligence that a locomotive with fora
cserimes had recently pawed over forty-four miles of the
rents northward of Allahabad. (Cheers.) A. regarded the
present pr mition of the undertaking and the guarantee of
the East India Company, the directors inw no roma to
retract the high opinion they had already expensed
at the value of the enterprise. There could be
no
doubt that the hold of the but India Company upon
Ladle was now greater than ever, nothing meld perms-
neatly shake its et rength, while, es for their guarantee, its so-
wn beyond all itueetion. Recent events in India could
ultimo disturbed it, nor could the company, or parliament,
attempt to IMeirlltee with It without etriking suck a blow at
public credit se would most likely tent to knock down
Camels to sixty. (flew, hem) So much, thee, for the
security of the guarantee. As for the value of the rail-
way itself, it could be measured by poet experience.
Perhaps It was the cheapest to work in the world—certainly
it was amongst the cheapest—while es to the coot of construe-
don, It was estimated that the entire outlay from Calcutta
to Delhi would be shout 10,0001. per mile. At
that coat thin could be no doubt that tho traffic would yield
comiderably over 6 per mut. (Cheers.) After announcing
that Sir Illaodonall Ileepheame wee Moat to retire from the
oaks of managing director, the Chairman concluded by
moving the adoption of the report.
A brief discuesks ensued, In the course of which the
CH etioctir stated that the East India Company held
:00,
_OOOl. of the company's mosey, and although the
could net say poltively that then we. no prospect of In
immediate mil, they Mould mist any attempt of tie
East twin' Company to mire more meaty et preterit
co the stock of this company. The original estimate
of the entire line was 11,296,0001., but it was
now clearly ascertained that the cost would not exceed eleven
millieme. The the. mei be completed to Delhi before there
could be any dietitian of moths beyond ice per cant.
The report wee this aMpted, after which the two follow-
ing resolutions were mmaissously agreed to
