~Thrime..insT DIAN.
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 10,000,0001. 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
,o 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
,iassed 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, 1849, an annuity should be 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 aoove 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 he divided-2i per cent. to
the East India Company and 2I 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 he
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 hallway, 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
8& per cent. The first section of the line from Bombay
to Ta.nnah 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
had 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. Ile was glad they had been so far
successful, and it was very gratifying 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 im#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.
