RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

DUBLIN AND KINGSTOWN.

The adjourned half-yearly meeting of this com-
pany was held on Monday, in Dublin ; Mr. J. Kin-
caid in the chair.

Mr. Maunsell, secretary, read the report, which
expressed deep regret that the Board was deprived
of the cordial co-operation of a friend and col-
league by the sudden death of Mr. J. Hone, jun.,
the chairman, who had ably and efficiently devoted
himself to the interests and prosperity of the com-
pany. The available balance exhibited in the
statement of accounts, including a surplus 11,060 car-
ried from theprevious account, amounted to £15,000.
Out of this sum the Board now declared for the
half-year ended the 31st August last a dividend on
the capital stock of the company of 4i per cent., free
of income-tax, amounting to £15,750, after which a
balance of £235 would be carried to next account,
In pursuance of the agreement with the Dublin and
Wicklow Company, submitted to and approved by
the special general meeting of proprietors held on
the 2d June last, the several rents hitherto paid by
the company had been merged into one fixed rent,
payable half-yearly since the Ist January last, when
the new arrangement cameinto operation ; and it was
their intention in the next session to apply to Parlia-
ment, at the joint expense of both companies, for an
act to validate the agreement, and thereupon they
would be entitled to an annual rent of £36,000 in
perpetuity. The first half-yearly payment of £lB,OOO
appeared in the present account.

given up two important sources of revenue in con-
sideration of receiving a fixed rent Of £36,000 a year.
The former rent was £32,000 per annum, in addition
to certain receipts. The two sources of revenue to
which he referred had been given up by the company,
and in lieu of that they had agreedthat a lease in per-
perpetuity should be made to the Dublin and Wicklow
Company at a fixed rent of £36,000 a year. He was
going to saypermanent rent, but there was a clause in
the agreement which stated that if anyoppmosaidnge, linethe

opposed them at considerable cost ; but those costs
had not only been paid out of the increased rent for
the half-year, but they were still able to pay a divi-
dend of 4i per cent., besides carrying over a surplus
of £240. He then moved the adoption of the report
and statement of accounts.
Mr. KANE seconded the resolution.
Mr. W. ROGAN said the agreement with the
Dublin and Wicklow Company had involved them
in a great deal of expense, and he could not see what
advantage they derived from it.
