taken possession of a portion of them. The engineer's re-
port shows that the whole of the expenditure in the loco-
motive and carriage and waggon department is represented
by a rate of 10.17 d. per train per mile, and that of the Juno
halt-year of 1862 by 9 97d, Three engines and tenders
have been completed and placed upon the line, and three
more will be finished in about a month or six weeks. The
amount expended upon the construction of new engines
has been £11,070; and the stock of carriages and waggons
is in a good and effective estate.

for the preceding six months, and £4,237 4s 11d for the
corresponding period of the past year. The amount
required for the payment of the dividend at the
late of 5 per cent;. upon the first and second preference
shares was £3,576 Os 9d, leaving a balance of £660 lls lld
available for division amongst the shareholders of ordinary
stock for the purposes of a dividend, on which, at the rate
of 4 per cent., it would be necessary to draw the sum of
£721 Os ld from the reserve fund, which would then be re-
duced to £5,467 19s. The directors had hesitated to under-
take the conveyance of passengers, but the time had arrived
when they thought that the experiment might be tried with
success. With respect to threatened opposition, the Ely
Valley Railway had expunged those portions of the powers
they had sought to the detriment of this company. The
Ogmore Valley Railway's objectionable matter was modi-
fied, and finally brought into such a form as afforded pro-
mise of great additional traffic when the line was constructed
and the country opened. The report concluded by stating
that the directors had succeeded in making arrangements
by which all litigation had been terminated with the prin-
cipal traders on the line. The chairman announced that
the dividends would be payable on August 21, and after
some remarks on the prosperity of the undertaking, the
meeting concluded with the usual compliments.
