BLACKBURN.

The report of the directors of this company states
that the position of the undertaking has become such as
to require the immediate and earnest consideration of
the proprietors. The relations subsisting between this
company and the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company
have been referred to at previoue half-yearly meetings.
Subsequent interviews with the Lancashire and York-
shire Company have, however, satisfied this board that,
whatever the intentions of that company might have
been when the negotiations were opened, it is now their
iielicy not only to disavow the proposals which were
made 'to unite the t vo companies, hut also to continue
to act ;under the agreement entered into by them with
the East Lancashire a d other companies, in violation of
their agreement with this company. The directors will
be prepared, at the ensuing meeting, to submit to the
prom etors the measures which they have to suggest as
necessary to rescue the property from the peribus posi-
tion into which it has been brought by the conduct of
' the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company. Ite this crisis
of the company's affairs the directors venture to express
a hope that every proprietor who can possibly do so will
make a point of attending the meeting, in order that by
a united effort this important railway, running as it dues
through the very centre of one of the most important
manufacturing districts in the county, may be placed in
a position to yield a reasonable return for the capital
expended, and to afford that accommodation which the
I commerce of the district requires. Nothing, it is con-
ceived, can more clearly prove the baneful effect of
the agreement existing between the Lancashire and
Yorkshire and East LanCashire Companies on the traffic
of this company than the following results for the series '
of half-years commencing with that ending June 30,
1853, 22,7901., Dec. 31,1853, 23,8691., together 46,659/.;
less over estimate 1,5011., total 45,1581. Ending June
30,1854, 22,1951., Dec. 31,1854, 22,5861., total 44,7811.;
June 30, 1855, 21,7761. There is a gradual decline in
the receipts of the half-year just past, as compared with
the corresponding period of last year, showing a defi-
' ciency of 418/ , and, with the half-year immediately pre-
; ceding, a deficiency of 8101.; and such decline has taken
place while the traffic of the Lancashire and Yorkshire
Company has increased. The capital account to 30th of
! June shows that L 040,1901. had been received, and
1,0551,443/. expended, leaving a balance against the
I company of 15,2531.
