RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE,

SCOTTISH NORTH-EASTERN.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was hold at
Aberdeen on Thursday: Mr. Stirling, the chairman, pre-
sided.

The report, an abstract of which has appeared in VI.
81421 p was taken as read.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving that the report be adopted,
confessed that at this time last year he looked forward with
no little concern to the effect which the opening of the In-
verness and Perth Highland line would have upon the traffic
of the Scottish North-Eastern Company. He was glad,
therefore, to be able to point to the report as showing that the
company had not only maintained their ground, but that
there was a satisfactory increase in the receipts. He might
mention that by the opening of the Inverness Eno they net
only lost the through passengers from Aberdeen to Perth,
who all had formerly travelled 90 miles over the Scottish
North-Eastern at an average fare of 10s. each, but they had
also lost the whole traffic upon the seven miles between
Stanley and Perth. In these circumstances it was grati-
fying to find that the traffic from other quarters having
been considerably increased fully made up for the antici-

report, he adverted to the bills the company were now
promotiLT before Parliament, the anangemeuts regarding
which, of the whole, were in a favourable position, and con-
cluded by exressing his readiness to answer any questions
respecting the reffairs of the company.
Dr. MATHEW seconded the adoption of the report, which
was cordially agreed to ; the usual dividends were declared
on the preference stocks, and also dividends on the Aber-
deen Original Stock at the rate of 1 per cent, per annum ;
on the Scottish Midland Ordinary Stock at the rate of 41
per cent. per annum; and un the Dundee and Arbroath
Ordinary Stock at the rate of I'd per cent. per annum for the
past half year.
The proceedings g terminated with vote of thanks to the
chairman.

THE FIRST LOCOMOTITE ENGINE was landed last
month at Ceylon on a bamboo raft, and drawn to the rail-
way station by a team of three elephants.
The accounts received this morning respecting
the state of trade in the manufacturing districts
during the past week are exceedingly favourable.
At Manchester the recent movement in the cotton
market occasioned a better feeling among dealers
and speculators, and in woollen and worsted at
Leeds, Halifax, Bradford, and Huddersfield more
business has been transacted, and an improvement
in prices established. Excepting Shafield, opera-
tions in the hardware districts have been conducted
on a rather large Scale,
and at Wolverhampton, the

were still considerable.
The quotation of gold at Paris is about 4 per mine pm., an d
the short exeliange on Loudon is 25:40 pzr XI sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, it appear s that 1;011 le
