EAST LINCOLNSHIRE RAILWAY.
(THIS DAY.)

The usual half•yearly general meeting of the pro-
prietors
of the above line was held this morning at
the Great Ncrtbern-offices in Moorgate-street. Mr.
George Hussey Packe, chairman of the board of
directors, in the chair.
The report of the directors stated that the Act of
Incorporation of the company requires ordinary
meetings of the shareholders to be held twice a year,
in the months of February and August ; but the
lease of the line to the Great Northern Railway Com-
pany having taken out of the hands of the directors
all share in the management of the working of
the railway, the business to be done at these half-
yearly meetings must necessarily be of the most
formal character. The directors conga atulate the
shareholders in their having received last month the
first full half-year's dividend of the rent; and have
further the pleasure of reporting that the whole of the
works on the line continue in the most satisfactory
state. The capital of the company has been fully
paid up, and in the annexed statement of accounts,
the proprietors will find the various items of expen-
diture in the construction of the line.
The balance sheet represented the total receipts up
to the present time to amount to 643,3861. Bs. 91,
while the expenditure amounted to 646,0451. 16s. 7d.,
leaving a balance of 2,6591. 7s. 10d. due to the
bankers.

The CHAIRMAN said he should be happy to answer
any questions if the proprietors present required any
information on the subject of the line. lie might
add that within the last ten days he had been over
the line, and found it in a most efficient state, while
he was glad to inform the shareholders that the re-
ceipts were gradually increasing.
The report was then adopted, and thanks having
been voted to the Chairman and directors, the meet-
ing terminated.

We cannot refrain from calling the attention of the
public to the treat which awaits them at the Royal
Surrey Zoological Gardens on Monday next ; we can
fully assert, that so much excellence, at such a charge
was never before presented to them.

received here from Alexandria, that a fearful fire which
took place there will occasion the State a loss of forty
millions of piastres. Abbees Pacha is still at Cairo,
whither his mother lattly returned from Constantinople.
The sons of Mahomed Ali, who is perhaps already dead,
since he was dangerously ill when the post quitted, are,
together with the sons of Ibrahim Pacha, now at Cairo;
they are the best hostages for Abbees Pacha.

accompanied by his son, embarked at Blackwall yester-
