HALF-YEARLY MEETING—(THIS DAY).
The ordinary half-yearly meeting of this company was
held this day at the London Tavern.
J. N. DANIELL, Esq.) chairman of the Board of Direc-
tors, presided. _ _

The report, which has already appeared in The Sun,
having been taken as read,

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the docu-
ment, said he had much satisfaction in meeting the share-
holders, because the position of their affairs, he thought,
would be looked upon as satisfactory. Comparing the ac-
counts with those for the corresponding six months of
1861 there was an increase of £4,760 ls. 2d. in the receipts,
and a decrease of £570 19s 6d. in the expenses, showing
a total increase of £5,331 Os. Bd. in the net profits of the last
half year, and the dividend the directors recommended was
at the rate of .ss. per cent. per annum more than in 1861,
and was upon an increased capital of £247,350. The gross
revenue for the half-year ending 30th June, 1862, had been
£52,569 95., and the expenditure £20,458 Be. 6d., leaving a
profit of £32,111 Os. 6d. Although there was no very spe-
cial increase in the dividend, yet he thought, while neatly
every other line had suffered from a falling off of
their traffic, it , was extremely gratifying to find
that they had not experienced that depression, but
on the oontrary, their receipts had increased. The goods
traffic which they had expected from the Midland and Great
Northern had not come upon their line, but everything was
ready to receive it, and it was looked upon as a circum-
stance that would greatly increase their receipts. Their
financial position he looked upon as highly satisfactory, as
the whole of their 41 per cent. preference guaranteed stock
had been taken up, and 18,000 shares paid in full. He did
not think he was called upon to notice the diminu-
tion of their expenditure, because ' whenever there
was any very extensive repel's to be carried out
those expenses must necessarily increase. They had
fortunately not had any of those repairs to effect,
and therefore there had been no large outlay. The com-
pany had suffered a loss from the death of Mr.
at the Joseph
Wilson ; but it was proposed to fill up the vaelancy
board by electing a gentleman who had a great stake in the
company, viz., Mr. Haigh, who was in every way well calcu-
lated for the duties he would have to perform. He con-
eluded by moving the adoption of the report.
The motion having been seconded,
A PRoPRTETon urged the necessity of economy, and said
he was certain the adoption of different coloured tickets for
the up and the down journeys wculd greatly increase their
weekly income, as it would prevent some parties travelling
withostt paying their fares.

The motion was then carried unanimously.
A resolution declaring a dividend for the haltyear at the
rate of 3 psi cent, per annum was also agreed to.
Resolutions, for consolidating into
ordinary stock all
those "New Shares, 1860," no -71
it- which the whole money
subscribed have been paid up, and
which have been con-
verted into preference shares, and for consolidating into
preference stock all those shares which had been converted
from New Shares, 1860, into preference shares, were also
Likgreed to unanimously.
