probable period when the whole may be completed. Upon
this point it might have been satisfactory to the proprietors
to have heard en opinion expressed at the present moment,
but it would hardly be fair to form a decisive one until the
works on the whole line can be said to be in active ope-
ration ; this will be the case before the next meeting.
From the evidence before them at the present moment,
the Directors arc satisfied, that, generally, the contractors
are proceeding with activity, judgment, and skill ; and as
they repose the strongest confidence in the ability and
energy of their engineers, and that they will push forward
the works with the utmost ',vigour, the Directors have
deemed it right to enter into contracts for locomotive en-
gines, to be delivered at the end of the year 1839, the pe-
riod at which the contracts are stipulated to be finished,
being the beginning of 1840.

The greater portion of the land required for the Southern
part of the line has ben purchased, upon terms nat exceed-
ing the estimate of the land valuer ; and no case has yet
occurred where it has been necessary to refer to a Jury.
The agreements on the Northern Division are likewise
proceeding in the same satisfactory manner ; and the Direc-
tors have every reason to hope that the purchase of the re.
mainder of the land required will be made upon reasonable
terms.
In the last report to the Proprietors, allusion was made
to the difficulties which had arisen in the arrangements ne-
cessary to protect the interests of the Company on that
part of the Line adjacent to the Aire and Calder navigation.
Under all the circumstances of the case, it has been deemed
advisable to give directions for publishing the Parliamen-
tary Notices for a deviation, the execution of which devia-
tion, it is calculated, would be considerably within the esti-
mate of the cost of that part of the Line previously sanc-
tioned by Parliament, and which also, in an engineering
point of view, would be equally advantageous to the general
interests of the Company.
The Proprietors will recollect, that at the last meeting
the Directors were empowered to forfeit 236 shares upon
which the second call had not been paid, and they have
now the satisfaction of informing the meeting that the
holders have so generally come forward to claim the shares,
that there will be no occasion for any further proceedings.

By the statement of accounts,.now to be laid before the
Proprietary, it will appear that the receipts up to the 31st
of December last were 337,002/. Bs. 4d. The disburse-
ments, 209,5041. 7s. Bd. And that the balance, at the
disposal of the Company at that date, was 127,4981. Os. Bd.

By the 117th Section of the Act, it is provided that one
fourth of the Directors, who were chosen at the general
meeting of the 23d September; 1836, shall go out of office
at the meeting now held, and six Directors be elected to
supply the vacancy. The Proprietors, in exercising such
power of election, will advert to the provisions of the Act
by which every Director so going out is declared to be im-
mediately re-eligible.
The following are the Directors who now go out of
office :

G. C. Glyn, Esq. .1. Holdforth, Esq.
R. Fenwick, Esq. T. Shann, Esq.
K. Hodgson, Esq. And C. Tee, Esq.
It was then moved, and agreed to unanimously, that the
common seal of the Company be affixed to the list of Pro-
prietors, then on the table.
The SECRETARY then read the general Account of Re-
ceipts and Disbursements as follows :
