The directors of this company state in their report that
the receipts for the half-year ending the 31st of December
last
halfamounted
of 18
t 0£6435; showing
against £43,301 for the corre-
sponding ,
an increase of £1,796, and
the working expenses and interest to £24,798, against
£23,445, showing an increase of £1,353. The net balance
amounted to £20,299, against £19,856 for the samo
half of 1863, showing an increase of £443. The working
expenses were 44.5 per cent. of the receipts. The directors
were enabled to recommend a dividend at the rate of 5 per
cent. per annum on the ordinary stock, leaving a balance
of £2,248, which, on being added to the reserve fund, in-
creased it to £7,001. A branch line of three-quarters of a
mile in length had been constructed from the Rhotts line to
Benhar, to provide access to a mineral field which was
being opened out, and a considerable accession of traffic
was expected from this source after the minerals had been
reached. The bill for the amalgamation of this undertaking
with that of the Edinburgh and Glasgow had been ar-
ranged. Should the act be obtained in the ensuing session
of Parliament, it had been agreed to anticipate the pro-
posed date of amalgamation and to unite the companies on
the 31st July next. The revenue account for the half-year
ending Dec. 31 last showed that 45,097 had been received,
and £20,082 expended in working, £4,716 paid for interest
on loans, leaving a balance of £20,290. The expenditure
on capital account amounted to £967,141.

LONDON, TUESDAY, FEB. 7, 1865

The condition of the streets is
always an impor-
tant thing,
and especially so at this period of the
year when so many serious accidents occur. On
Friday a deputation waited upon the Metropolitan
Board of Works to represent the dangerous condi-
tion of the roads during -winter frost, and to re-
quest the intervention of the Board. This was a
really useful undertaking, and it is to be hoped that
success will attend the well-directed efforts of these
social reformers. A memorial from the Royal
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
was presented, which showed that the roads of the
metropolis were unfit for the traffic of horses during
the greater part of the winter. This is very true,
and all who frequent the places of most traffic must
notice the struggles that the poor animals make to
keep from falling. The memorial also men-
tions the pernicious practice that prevails of
leaving lumps of granite unrolled without
making any effort to form an even sur-
face. This occasions great pain to the horses,
who are frequently known to sprain their sinews,
and otherwise become seriously injured, while the
drivers of heavily-laden waggons often inflict severe
wounds upon them through their frantic efforts to

get them on under such difficult circumstances. No
wonder it is herein remarked that such a " state of
things is disgraceful to the metropolis of the most
civilised nation of the vrorld." It seems, 'indeed,
surprising that attention has not earlier been drawn
to this subject, and that those qualified to give an
opinion should not have done something before
now. As is often the case, when really serious evils
occur, it is shown that iiim pie remedieg, may prove

LONDON, TUESDAY, FEB. 7, 1865.

The condition of the streets is always an impor-
tant thing, and especially so at this period of the
year when so many serious accidents occur. On
Friday a deputation waited upon the Metropolitan
Board of Works to represent the dangerous condi-
tion of the roads during winter frost, and to re-
quest the intervention of the Board. This was a
really useful undertaking, and it is to be hoped that
success will attend the well-directed efforts of these
social reformers. A memorial from the Royal
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
was presented, which showed that the roads of the
metropolis were unfit for the traffic of horses during
the greater'part of the winter. This is very true,
and all who frequent the places of most traffic must
notice the struggles that the poor animals make to
The memorial also men-
keep from falling.

Eons the pernicious practice that prevails of
leaving lumps of granite unrolled without
making any effort to form an even sur-
face. This occasions great pain to the horses,
who are frequently known to sprain their sinews,
and otherwise become seriously injured, while the
drivers of heavily-laden waggons often inflict severe
wounds upon them through their frantic efforts to
get them on under such difficult circumstances. No
wonderl it is herein remarked that such a " state of
111.j3 is disgraceful to the metropolis of the most
