PARIS AND LYONS.
The ordinary meeting of this company was held
Paris on Thursday ; M. Dassier in the chair.
The report commenced by stating that an arrangement
had been entered into with the Dijon and Belfort Rail-
way Company for the amalgamation of the undertakings ;
the latter company to receive 25,000 shares in the Lyons
Company, liberated at 250 f. each, and to participate in
the general dividend ; the Paris arid Lyons Company
undertaking all the engagements of the Dijon and Belfort
Company. The Paris and Lyons Company had also ac-
cepted concessions for making two branch lines from
Chalons to Dole and Bourg to Dole, making with the
Dijon and Belfort line and branch to Gray an addition
of 386 kilometres in length, at an estimated cost of about
90,000,000 f. (3,600,000/.), of which nearly 18,000,000 E.
were provided for—leaving 72,000,000 f. to be provided
in portions spreading over 3 years, 9 years, and 12 years.
The estimated traffic on those lines would amount to
8,207, 000 f. per annum, the working expenses at 40 per
cent. to 3,282,800 f., and the profit to 4,924,200 f., or
above 51 per cent. on the outlay. The branch line from
Auxerre to La Roche, 20 kilometres in length, would
cost 4,000,000 f., and yield a net revenue equal to 5 per
cent. per annum on the outlay. The gross traffic on
the sections of the Paris and Lyons line open for traffic
amounted, for the year 1853, to 20,272,680 f., and the
working expenses to 32'93 per cent., or 6,677,680 f.,
leaving a profit on the working of 13,595,180 f. To this
sum was added 2,735,088 f. interest on deposits of capital,
and 5,221,558 f. balance from former 'revenue account;
total, 21,551,827 f. From this sum was deducted
1,919,167 f. interest of purchase-money due to the State,
3,408,000 f interest of obligations, and 3,000,000 f. interest
on shares at 5 per cent. (on 60,000,000 f.), making to-
gether 8,437,566 f., and leaving 13,114,260 f., one-half of
which only was to be distributed in dividends, being 25f.
per share on 265.000 shares. The surplus, 6,489,260 f.,
would be reserved for the current year. It was estimated
that the effect of opening the section from Chalons to
Lyons, a length of 124 kilometres, would be to increase
the receipts by 6,757,6110 f. for the year. That section
would be open in May for passengers, and in June for
goods, and it was thought, on the whole, that the gross
receipts for 1854 would amount to 37,600,0001., the

LONDON AND SOUTH COAST.
The new station of the company at London bridge is
now nearly completed, and in the eourse of a few days
the last remaining portion of the old station will be re-
moved. The removal of the old building will afford
great increase of space for vehicles to remove and set
down passengers and their luggage.
