RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON AND BLACKWALL.
The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes.
terday at the London Tavern ; Mr. Daniell in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
said he had great satisfaction in alluding to it. He
thought they had no muse for any anxiety respecting
the value of their trl ffie. The only anxiety they had
now was as to how much more they were likely to get
when all their arrangements were made to accommodate
it. At the last half-yearly meeting they were in a state
of transition ; they were now in a state of progress ;
everything showed they must advance, and not retro-
grade. All the traffic of the last six months was de-
rived. from the usual sources ; they had no additional
traffic brought from other sources to increase their usual
traffic, although it bad increased. With regard to the
traffic from the Eastern Counties Railway, they would
have it so soon as the terminus at Fenchurch-street was
ready to receive it, and it would come on the line
without any expense to the Blackwall Company. With
respect to the London and North-Western goods
traffic to Haydon-square, it had commenced on their
line, but as yet it had hardly reached the minimum,
amount agreed upon, and, as it was of a progressive
character, it would require time, not only to develops
it, but to make arrangements to accommodate it.
They would have to expend 25,0001. for a siding and
other works near Stepney to widen the line, which
was a matter of considerable importance in carrying
on the traffic, and there could be no doubt it would re-
pay them for the outlay. They must do everything in,
their power to secure the passenger traffic on their line
by providing means for carrying on the goods traffic so
as not to interfere with it. There were now a certain
number of goods trains per day, and unless the accom-
modation on the line was extended there would be no
place for a goods train to stand out of the way of a pas-
senger train. They would have either to increase the
number of goods trains or to increase their length, and
in either case they were bound to make all the provision
they could for the traffic coming on their line. They
would probably say that 2s. 6d. was not the sort of
dividend they ought to have ; it might be considered as
a homeopathic dividend. It was certainly far the least
productive half of the year. He had told them at the
August meeting last year that they would never have
so small a dividend again as 2s. The present dividend
was 2s. 6d., and he bad no doubt they would go on pro-
gressing to at least double that amount. The delay in
the station works, owing to the bad weather, had re-
tarded them considerably, but he did not think, on the
whole, that they would have gained much advantage if
the works were further advanced, as the Eastern Coun-
ties Company were not yet prepared to carry on the
traffic. Everything was progressing favourably, and,
before they met at their next half-yearly meeting, he had
no doubt they would have both the Eastern Counties
and Tilbury traffic on the line. (Hear, hear.)
After some observations respecting the steam-boat
traffic, wharfage, and works, resolutions were passed
adopting the report, declaring a dividend of 2s. 6d. per
share, and authorising the directors to raise on deben-
tures 25,000/. for the works mentioned in the report.
On the motion of Mr. G. SMITH a vote of thanks was
passed to the chairman and directors, and the meeting
separated.

LEEDS NORTHERN.
The half-yearly report of the directors states that they
have continued to pursue the policy of raising the means
of defraying the unavoidable expenditure on capital ac-
count by temporary advances and the sale of forfeited
shares, by which further calls on the issued preference
shares had been avoided. The loans which have fallen
in during the half-year have been renewed at 34 and 4
per cent, interest. The traffic arrangement with the
York companies, as duly authorised by shareholders
of this company. commenced on the Ist of April last,
and the result of the joint working, so far as it has gone,
is highly satisfactory. The directors entertain the con-
fident expectation that, by close attention to the deve-
lopment of the traffic of the districts traversed by the
united railways, and by the improved as well as the
more economical working of the lines, the receipts of
the three companies will yet be greatly increased, while
the interest of the public will, at the same time, be
effectually promoted. The net receipts of, the company

for the half-year ending the 30th of June amount to
21,827/., to which a balance of 2,451/. from the preceding
half-year is added ; showing a total disposable surplus
of 24,2781. Of this amount 18,4561. has already been
appropriated to the payment of interest on loans. The
unfortunate accidents which occurred in the course
of last summer involved a loss to the company
amounting to about 6,0001., of which 2,8221. has been paid
and charged against revenue. The remaining balance
of 2,999 r. is retained towards the liquidation of the acci-
dent account. This company's act of 1853 confers on the
company power to raise by preference shares or stock
300,0001., at a rate of interest not exceeding 41 per
cent. per annum, or by mortgage, for the purpose of
paying off the company's debts, and for providing such
stations or other works as may he necessary fur the
convenience and safety of the public. Resolutions are
to be proposed at the meeting on Saturday, for confirm-
ing the amalgamation of this company with the York,
Newcastle, and Berwick, and the York and North Mid-
land Companies, and in favour of an application to Par-
liament for a bill to legalise the reference to Messrs.
Glyn and Stephenson;pursuant to the company's resolu-
tion of the 11th of March last. The capital account to
the 30th of June last shows that 2,528,8091. had been
received, and 2,516,698/. expended, leaving a balance of
12,1111. The total sum authorised to be raised by
shares is 2,368,9371., and on loan 608,9901., of which
1,759,3221. had been raised on shares, and 606,4921. on
loan. The revenue account shows that 35,7531. had
been received, including 2,4511. from the last account,
and 14,2971. expended in working, and 18,456/. interest
on loans, leaving a balance of 2,9991, The joint revenue
account of the three lines for the three months ending
30th of June, shows that 347,7521. had been received,
and 153,4161. expended, leaving a net balance of
194,3361., of which 113,6861. is awarded to the York,
Newcastle, and Berwick Company ; 65,1021. to the
York and North Midland Company ; and 15,5471. to
the Leeds Northern Company.

EAST INDIAN.-
The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on
Tuesday at the London Tavern ; Mr. Aglionby, M.P.,
in the chair.
The Secretary read the report, an abstract of which
appeared in The Sun of Monday.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
congratulated the proprietors on the position which they
had now attained. The desired concession had been
long delayed, and he was happy to say they were now
in the position of having an undertaking to carry out
which would not only be of great advantage to this coun-
try, but also to India. Their position in the money
market was good, and, having a deep interest in the
concern himself, he believed there was not to be found
an undertaking which promised such advantages to the
public in general and to the shareholders in particular.
There could be no doubt that the traffic would be very
large and the returns ample. They were all greatly in-
debted to Mr. Stephenson, their managing director, who
had not only originally projected the line from Calcutta
to Delhi, but had exerted himself for years to bring
about its construction. The line had been surveyed by
him, and it was proposed to make a deviation from that
originally projected by extending the line from Rajmahal
to Delhi. The progress of the works on the experi-
mental line from Calcutta, which would form part of
the main line to Delhi, had resulted in establishing
great confidence in the company. It appeared that
Lord Dalhousie had no fault to find with their un-
dertaking, and that the Government thought it right
to intrust them with the construction of the whole
line to Delhi, being about 1,000 miles in length, and
was estimated to cost 10,000,000/. to complete it. With
such an undertaking intrusted to them, and having the
support of the Government both at home and abroad,
he thought the shareholders might fairly look forward to
great results, and he had no doubt the public would
join them in carrying out the undertaking.
Mr. J. CATTLEY seconded the motion for the adoption
of the report, which was put, and carried unanimously.
On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, a resolution was
unanimously adopted approving the bill now before Par-
liament to facilitate the making of a contract with the
Hon. East India Company for the extension of the ex-
perimental section from Burdwan to Delhi, and for ap-
plying the capital subscribed on the B extension shares
to the execution of the contract for the extension line,
and for other purposes.
Baron DE GOLDSMID was then elected a director, and,
returning thanks, said he would do everything in his
power to promote the interests of the company, and he
believed that there was not an undertaking anywhere
which offered so many advantages, or one more likely
to realise the expectations entertained by its promoters.
Mr. J. Beaumont was elected auditor of the company.
On the motion of Mr. CARTER, a vote of thanks was
passed to Mr. Turnbull and the engineering staff in
India for the zeal and ability with which they had per-
' formed the duties intrusted to them.
Mr. BEAUMONT proposed a resolution to the effect
that in consideration of the services rendered by Mr.
Macdonald Stephenson as a promoter of the undertaking,
and in lieu of 5 per cent. of the surplus profits agreed
upon as an allowance to him by a meeting of the com-
pany in August, 1819, an annuity should he granted
him of 2,5001. per annum, commencing from the present
day, and be continued for 25 years and during the life-
time of Mr. and Mrs. Stephenson, should they survive
that period, and be paid out of the surplus profits of the
undertaking, if any, every year, over and above the
amount of the stipulated dividend.
The CHAIRMAN, in reply to a question, explained that
the surplus profits over and :wove 5 per cent. on the
capital expended would be equally divided between the
East India Company and the railway company, and, as-
suming that the net profits should amount to 10 per cent.
—5 per cent. would go for interest on the capital, and
the other 5 per cent. would be divided-2i per cent. to
the East India Company and 2& per cent. to the railway
company ; and it was out of this surplus, whatever it
might be, that the payment would be applicable to the
annuity to Mr. M. Stephenson and family for his services.
The debt would accrue, but the money would not be
paid until the amount, or any part of it, should accrue
out of the surplus profits mentioned.
Resolutions were unanimously passed approving the
arrangement with Mr. Stephenson, and authorising the
directors to secure the allowance granted by the share-
holders to him, and to take the necessary steps for the
purpose.
Mr. Nicholson, Mr. Norton, and other proprietors
connected with India, bore testimony to the merits of
Mr. Stephenson, and the great exertions he had made to
promote the interests of the company.
Mr. NICHOLSON, managing director of the Great In-
dian Peninsular Railway, stated, with respect to the
traffic that might be expected on railways in India, that
in the estimate of traffic on his railway nothing was put
down for passengers, as it was thought the people in the
district were too poor to travel on a railway, and would
therefore travel on foot ; the estimate was founded
on the goods traffic, which was expected to yield
fq per cent. The first section of the line from Bombay
to Tannah had been open for a period of 10 weeks, four
of the last of which were during the monsoon rains.
The line was opened for passenger traffic, and no goods
bad been carried in consequence of not being ready for
them. During the first six weeks the number of pas-
sengers averaged 1,500 per day, and during the 10 weeks
the number averaged 1,300 per day, although the line
had water carriage to compete with. The number of
passengers would thus average 475,000 per annum,
while it was calculated that the number of passengers
on the East Indian Railway would be 570,000. He
thought there could be no doubt they would have a
much greater number, and that they would have large
profits.
Mr. NORTON, of Madras, said, with regard to the
estimated profits on the railway, that he was convinced
those profits were not overstated at 30 per cent. From
his long experience in India, he believed that the natives
would be found fully alive to the advantages of railway
communication when it was afforded them.
Mr. M. STEPHENSON, in acknowledging the vote of
the proprietors, stated that he had devoted 18 years of
his life to affairs in India, five years of which were spent
in the service of the Peninsular and Oriental Company,
and the last 13 years in endeavouring to introduce rail-
ways into India. He was glad they had been so far
successful, and it was very gying to him to be able
to state, since the works had been commenced, that the
Government authorities and engineer had assisted them
in every way to carry out the undertaking, and that
nothing could be more satisfactory than the way in which
they had been assisted by the Government. (Cheers.)
Votes of thanks were then passed to Mr. Noad, the
secretary, Mr. G. Freshfield, the solicitor, and to the
chairman and directors, for their valuable services, after
which the meeting separated.
