RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

SOUTH-EASTERN.

The directors of this company have just issued their
report. It states that the receipts of the South-Eastern
Company, for the half-year ending the 31st of July last,
amounted to 438.7791. The working expenses and re-
newals amounted to 200;456/. ; the rates, takes, tolls,'
and Government duty to 33,6551. ; the rents 'of the
Greenwich Railway, Deptford Creek-bridge, and Anger-
stein branch and wharf, to 23,220/ ; sures, in
addition to 62,6381., the interest of the mortgage debt
20 5001. South-Eastern' Annuities ; and 13,7681. gua-
ranteed stock, make a total deduction from the gross
.earnings of .354,239/. The profit and . loss account
shOws a balance of 13;887/. from the last account, as
,well as'll,4Bll. the net earnings at the credit of the
steam-boat account, and is debited with 4,096/. for Par-
lisunentary awl other expenses, leaving a disposable
balance of 105,812/. The directors recommend, a divi-
dend at the rate of Bs. 6d. per 301. stock, or at the rate
of 2/. 168. 84. 'per cent. per annum, which will absorb
105,310/. and leave 501/. A comparative statement of
passenger traffic shows an increase in the receipts of
2;7621. on the main line and branches, of 1,2721. on the
Neith Kent line, and a decrease of 1,7981. on the
Greenwich line, as compared with the corresponding
period of 1854. The inirease in the goods traffic on the
,rnain line and branches amounted to 3.4621., and on the
North Kent line to 1.7561. ; total, 5,2181.
The revenue account shows an Increase in the gross
receipts fur the hal-year of 7,8671., and a net lucre se
of 2,199/. in the steam-boat receipts ; making together
10,066/. The profit and loss account exhibits a credit
balance of 13,8871. from the previous half-year, in-
°wine' 8,842/. which had been paid to the 31st of
January on account of the costs in the matter of the
Croydon acchlent. Mr. Seymour Clarke, who was
appointed arbitrator under an agreement between the
London, Brighton, and South Coast Company and
this company, having .recently awarded that 85 per
cent. of the damage is to he paid by the Brighton
Company, and 15 per cent, by this company, 'a por-
tion of the above reserved balance accordingly be-
comes available in the present half-year. The profit
and loss account also shows that the balance -of net re-
eeipts from traffic for the half-year (including the steam-
boat receipts) is 216 148/. s- against 2,24.772/. in the
corresponding bait' year of 1854, or a decrease of 8,6231.
This decrease has been caused principally by the increase
in the expenses of the locomotive dui artmeet and by the
increased rate of intereer paid on borrowed money. Of'
the total increase of 9.9561 in the expenses of the loco-
motive department, 4.3941. has arisen from the increased
price paid for coke, and the remainder from the costs in-
curred in the repairs and renewal of engines and tenders,
carriages and waggons. The increasei aliount paid as
interest on loans during the half-year has amounted to
6.095/. ; and there has also been a,, increase of 2,542/
in the dividend payable on the fixed 46 per cent, shares
issued under the powers of the Stro,(d and Maidstone
Act, which is required by the erovieions of that act to
be charged against revenue, although the line is only in
course of construction. The engineer reports that these
works are proceeding satisfactorily, and that the blanch
will probably he complete" and ready for traffic by the
Ist of July next, when the capital expended on this line
will become productive, instead of being, as it now is, a
serhus charge upon the company's revenue; On the
whole, the result of the last half-year's working of the
railway may be regarded as satisfactory. The increase
of former years both in the receipts from goods and pas
sengers has been more than maintained, notwithstanding
the severity of the past winter and the pressure upon tare
resources of the country caused by increased taxation.
The steam-boat traffic also exhibits a steady increase. The
expenditure on capital account during the half-year has
bees 116,857/., prinpipaliyin connection with the works
on the Strood and Maidstone branch. A portion of the ca-
pital expenditure hasalso been incurred in connection with
the works on the. Reading Extension, by which the t,r-
minus of that railway is braught more immediately into
connection with the Realing station of the GI eat Western
CemparV. The extension is now completed and ready.
for public traffic.' The directors propose that about
2,000,000/. of the bonded debt should he converted into
debenture stock, bearing interest at the rate of 4 per
cent, per annum. As the average interest paid by the
company is 46 per cent., the company will save a coed-
derable sum annually by the conversion.
The ceP4al account shows that 11,287,5631. had been
expended to the 30th of June last, The debenture ac-
count shows that 2,625,100/. had been raised, of which
1.063,3721. was borrowed at 5 per cent.; 345.0701. at
4i per cent. ; 533.8701. at 44 per cent. ; 228,6301. at
41 r.er cent. ; 402,1011. at 4 per cent. ; 38,500/. at 3i
per cent. ; 11,050/. at 31 per cent. ; and 2,5001. at 3 per
cent.

tio(m6s7lo other companies, leaving a balance • against the
company of 160,9191. The revenue account for the last
half-year ending the 30th of June shows that 137,192/.
had been received, and 85,189/. expended, leaving a ba-
lance of 52,0021. To this 'is added 8,8321. from the last
account, 2,8831. tolls from the Forest of Dean tramway,
1,872/. dividends on shares held in the Vale of Neath

is deducted.7lol. for rents, 26,535/, interest on loans,
and 11.6241. assumed amount due to the Great Western
under the agreement of 1851, together 38.8701., leaving
a disposable balance of 49,612/. Out of this is deducted
7.745/. for dividend on guaranteed 201. shares, and
36,7251. for dNidecd on the ordinary shares at the rate
of 3 per 'cent. per annum, leaving a balance over of

The report Congratulated the shareholders on the fact
of an act baylng been obtained in the last session of Par-
liament for the construction of a line from Oswestry to
New-town. The directors were informed that great pro-
uress had been made in the formation ,of a line from
Newtown to 11.Iachyntleth, and which would secure to
this line the traffic of-the South and. North-West coats.
The directors were anxilus to commence the works on
the Llani Hoes and Newtown line as aoln as possible, but
they could not do so until about 1.5,000/. additional shares
were. tziken ; and, with the view of facilitating the com-
mencement of the works, the direct rs proposed shortly
to submit to the ownirs of land required for the line
that they.should take out the price f the -ame in shares,
r Accept an annual renteharw.in lien of purchase-money.
The pr.!bable local tmtfic likAy to pass over the line time
estimated at-nearly 4 per cent. per annum on-the aw.ho-
rifled capital.

MATI.OPOLITJAr IMPRoVr,MENTS.

The fol!owing memorial, addres,ed to the Lord Mayor,
relative to Vte 'removal of the causes of the poLute')
state :If the Thameq, was sinned exteosively yesterday
the principal merchants and City firms :
"JO THE RIGHT HON. THE LORD MAYOR.

".My observing that your
lordship has resolved on calling a publie meeting to con-
sider the condition of the Thames, with the view to having
itmildiate measures taken. to remedy the evils to which
that' condition is calculated to give rise.:
d
" Aware that your lordship was publicly informed by
the City Solicitor last month—',That when the Sesvirs
Acts of 184.8 were passed, Parliament bad it in contempla-
tion to enforce the construction of • intercepting sewers, to
'convey tire house drainage sufficiently low own to prevent,
the tide from bringing back any portion' of the polluted
'water
UnderOanding also that in 1854 the metropolitan com-
missioners of sewers raised 300,0001. towards the construc-
tion of such sewers that although cm tale plans (out of a
number submitted to the commissioners) were selected by
them, in April last, for reference to a committee of engi-
neers, no sutdi reference has yet been made, still less has
any step towards the commencement of the works for
which the 300,000/. were raised been taken.
" Aware,-furtherri.ore, that a bill has just received the
sanction of Parliament, which embraces, amongst other
'objects, the di"pollution of the Thames :
" But taking into consideration the fact that the board
of works (to be constituted by this bill) isnot to be elected
till next January, and that the numerous objects to which
its attention is to be addressed must occupy a large portion
of its time, and, consequenq, that theme is much groand
for apprehension that years will elapse before this great
object—the dispollution_ of the Thames will be effected :
We beg leave to record our cordial concurrence in 'your
'lordship's design of holding such public meeting; and seeing
that the metropolitan commioio,ners of sewers are in pots-
, session of plans and money which may be forthwith ren-
(bored available, we submit that Amongst other resolutions
to which it will be advisable for BArch meeting to come, will
be one appointing a committee to take all necessary steps
for watching the proceedings that may be taken, with the
view of securing the prompt execution of such works as
may be finally decided upon.
" We beg to subscribe onnelves,
"Your lordship's obedient servants.

THE LONDON GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT.

WHITEHALL, AUG 21.
The Right 'Honourable Sir George Grey. Bart., has re-
ceived the following despatch from the Earl of Clarendon,
K.G., dated St. Cloud, the 22,1 of.Angust, 1855.
St. Cloud, Angu4 22, M. 5.
Sir.—The Queen, Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales,
and the Princess Royal, arrived on the 19th instant, in the
" Victoria and Albert"- yacht, at Boulogne, where her
Majesty was received by the Emperor of the French,
amidst the salutes of the arniy of Boulogne, posted on the
heights. and the acclamations of a vast concourse of people
assembled for the occasion.
At Amiens, where the Queen stopped for a Fhort t
end along the whole line of ra. I way, her Majesty was re-
ceived with every demonstration of respect and kind
feeling.
At Paris, from the station to St Cloud, these feelings
were manifested in the strongest manner; and I can con•
vey no better idea of the reception of her Majesty by the
people of Paris than by stating, that the enthusiasm was
quite as great as that which greeted the Emperor and Em-
press on their arri'ial in London.
The same cordial welcome has been given to the Q•men
at the various places where her Majesty has since appeared
in public; and her Msj,stv is profoundly sensible of the
spontaneous and universal kindress which has bgen dis-
played towards her by the people of France. -
It is impossible to doubt that the Queen's visit will still
More closely cement the alliance which now so happily
subsists batween the Sovereigns and the people of Ei.gland
and France. • •
I cm happy to inform you that the Queen, Prinee Albert,
the Prince of Wales, and the Princess Royal are in
perfect health.—l have, &c., CGAR. ND ON.
