to establish the Post-office mail steamers for Holland and
the North of Europe at the port of Harwich. In
reviewing the income of the company, it would be found
that although no new line had been opened during the
last year, the gross receipts had exceeded the receipts of
the previous half-year by 5,9481., and those of the cor-
responding half-year, 1847, by 5,0821.; the wroking ex-
penditure had, at the same time, increased in a very
trifling amount the cost on the previous half-year being
19,7341, and in the last half-year 20,0001. The balance-
sheet stated the receipts for the half-year to be
328,8911. 17s. 6d., and the :expenditure 319,4271. 2s. 3d.,
leaving a balance of 9,464/. 15s. 3d. The revenue-
account gave the receiims at 35,0711. 2s. 4id., and the
expenditure at 20,057 Z 10s. 4id., leaving a balance of
15,013/. 12s.

The CHAIRMAN in moving the adoption of the report,
congratulated the proprietors on the progress and im-
provement of their railway. True, the cost of working
was exceedingly heavy, but when it was remambered
that their present traffic was purely of a local character,
they had a right to hope that when the extension to
Norwich was completed their income would be greatly
increased, without adding any material amount to the
expenditure. The earnings of their line even under
their present disadvantages were equal to those of the
York and North Midland and other Northern
lines, and with the aid of cheap coke and
improvements in machinery, they had already been
enabled to reduce the locomotive expenses from 9/d. to
9d., a cost which was even below that of lines in the
north, where coals were to be obtained at a much lower
rate than in their own district.—(Hear, bear.) With
regard to goods traffic, that was a subject which had
occupied a good deal of the attention of railway men;
but, however, their own might be worked, he could
hold out this gratifying anticipation to the proprietors,
that when their line was opened throughout, the goods
traffic would yield sufficient to pay all the working ex-
penses, and leave a profit besides, so that the receipts
from passengers would be all profit.—(Hear, hear.)
The report was unanimously adopted, after which the
retiring auditors and directors were re-elected.
The shareholders then resolved themselves into a spe-
cial meeting, to authorise the directors to forfeit certain
shares upon which some of the calls were in arrear;
after which,
Thanks were voted to the chairman and directors, and
the meeting broke up.

NEWRY AND ENNISKILLEN
RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.)
The eighth ordinary general meeting of the pro-
prietors of the above railway was held this afternoon, at
the Guildhall Coffee-house; Lord Newry, chairman of
the board of directors, in the chair.

The report stated that the continued depression in re-
lation to Irish railways had prevented the directors
from concluding any of the arrangements with other
companies authorised by the Act passed in the last
session of Parliament. It was, however, considered
that the time was now fast approaching when
some general settlement respecting Railways in
the northwestern districts of Ireland would be
effected, whereby the property of this company could
not fail to be rendered available and productive. Un-
derstanding that' Government was likely to aid in the
completion of certain of the Irish lines, the directors,
for the protettion of their interests, took care to submit,
in, the proper quarters a statement showing the position
of. this company in regard to others, for which such aid
was required, and there was the best reason for
believing, that if, such. assistance be given, care
would at the same time be taken to secure for the public
a passage for the traffic to and from the east coast,
which could not be effected except by means of this line.
The -directors, 'pursuant to the resolution of the last
,genersl meeting, bad invested the sum of 8,0001. on
mortgage of 'the undertaking of the Newry, Warren-
point, and Rostrevor Railway, at short dates, and bear-
in dt the rate of 6/. per cent. per annum.
The balance sheet stated the total receipts to be
96,5391. 9s. 5d., and the expenditure at 84,617/. 17s. 7d.
The securities amounted to 11,9211. lls. 10d. Tee ac•
count did not state the liabilities.

After some discussion the report was adopted, and a
vote of thanks:having been passed to the Noble Chairman,
the meeting terminated.
