RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON AND BL A.CKWALL.
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 ho had great satisfaction in alluding to it. He
thought they had no cause for any anxiety respecting
the value of their tnffit. 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 theme ne
without any expense to the Blackwall Company. hit
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 develope
it, but to make arrangements to accommodate it.
They would have to expend 25,0001. for a siding a
whinh
d
other works near Stepney to widen the line, c
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- '1
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 homoeopathic 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 had 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 25,0001. 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.

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 the 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
