of Grantham ; and the latter projected a line from Spalding to
Newark, each of which were parallel to the eastern portion of your
line. and if either had been obtained, would have diverted a consi-
derable portion of the eastern traffic. The Street Northern and East
Lincolnshire also introduced other Bills, the effect of which, if they
had not been defeated, would have been to destroy your proposed
station at Boston, and render the branch to the quay, at that place.
almost use'ess. The Great Northern wise, by another Bill, to effect
a deviation of their line near Grantham, made another attack upon
your line at that place, which would have been most prejudicial had
it been successful. In accordance, however, with their duties and
the active vigilanea your Directors have ever endeavoured to exer-
cise in protecting the interests of the Company, they offered to the
several Bills every legal opposition, and they are happy to say with
the meet complete success, having thrown out all the Bills except the
last, which was so modified as to make the junction at Grantham
more advautageous, and, at the same time, more independent.
Clauses hare been inserted in that Act empowering the two Compa-
nies to make a joint station, aid also empowering the Great Nor-
thern to use a portion of your line on payment of an equitable toll.
These attempted projects are conclusive that in the opinion of those
powerful Companies the district is important and capable of deve-
loping a large traffic, and by the success attending the exertions of
your Directors las part of that district has been infringed upon—ail
that the Legislature has granted has been preserved intact.
In thus defeating aggression, your Directors have not refused
friendly alliances when they would conduce to your interests. They
are happy to say that the best understanding now exists between
this Company and the Eastern Counties. In fixing the station of
their Wisbeach and Spalding line at the latter place, they have
adopted your site, and an agreement has been entered into for the
construction of such station at the joint expense, of the two Compa-
nies, and the alliance has further been strengthened by arranging for
an interchange of traffic, and running of trains, between Grantham
and Spalding, and -palding and Wisbeach, the terms and details of
which are to be settled by arbitration. This agreement will promote
alike the facility and convenience of the public, and the interests of
the Company, and may ultimately lead to a more intimate union,
and which agreement will be submitted to the Special General Meet-
ing en the 21st of September next, to consider the propriety of con-
firming the same.
In conformity with the Act, four of the Directors, and one of the
Auditors retire, who are eligible for re-election.
The Directors are happy to state that the differences which have
arisen between a portion of the Shareholders and the Board have
been amicably arranged, and that the Directors will be increased to
the full number of sixteen ; seven of whom are to be recommended
by the Committees of the Shareholders. And for the election of three
Of that number, a Special General meeting will be necessary, which
is fixed for Tuesday, the 21st of September next.

ENGINEER'S REPORT.
TO THE CHAIRMAN AND DIRECTORS OF THE AMBIRGATE, NOTTING-

HAM AND BOSTON. AND EASTERN JUNCTION RAILWAY.
Gentlemen,—l now beg leave to report to you the progress since
the last half yearly meeting.
The contract for six and three-quarters miles from Bettesford to
Grantham, including the Gonerby 11111 Tunnel, was commenced on
the 15th of March, the contractor being then put in possession of
some portion of the land.
The whole of the land for this contract is now obtained, and the
contractor is at work on every part.
More than five miles of the c,ntract length is fenced in, ant the
remainder of the fencing will be shortly completed.
About 200,000 cubic yards have been got out of the excavations
and put into the embankments, which completes more than one-
third of the earth-work.
Nine bridges are built, with the exception only of the parapets,
and nearly all the necessary culverts are put in.
In the Gonerby Hill Tunnel 420 yards of the heading are driven ;
the side lengths of four shafts, and one shaft length, making forty
ards of the tunnel is bricked, and the remaining portion is proceeding
rapidly.
Two miles of the line are formed ready to receive the ballast and
permanent way, and about 500 yards of single line are laid down..
A great quantity of ballast is also provided, and ou the ground.
A considerable quantity of permanent materials have been de-
lvered.
There are now employed upon the works 729 men and 109 horses.
have great pleasure in stating that the works now done by the
contractor are executed in a good. substantial, and workmanlike
manner, and I am well satisfied with the exertion used by the con-
tractor In pushing on the works.
The whole of the plans. sections, and drawings for Contracts Nos.
2 and 3 are ready. Contractors are preparing their estimates to
tender for these works, which may be let any day after the 24th of
this month.
One of these contracts will commence near Nottinghara, by a
Junction with the Lincoln line, at Colwick, and will include the
bridge over the river Trent, and extend to Contract No 1, at Bot
tesford ; and the other will commence at Grantham, and extend to
the junction of the Sleaford Branch, making a total distance from
Colwick, near Nottingham, of twenty-three miles, including the first
contract.
The whole of the 'bee to Boston is staked out, as well as the line
to Spalding and the Branch to Sleaford, the pl .ns, sections, and
drawings for these different contracts will be next proceeded w th.
On that portion of the line from Nottingham to Bulwell, which is
making jointly with the Midland Counties, Nottingham, and Mans-
field Railway Company, a distance of four miles, several bridge 4 are
now building, the fencing and earthwork of the line are advancing
satisfactorily.

I am, gentlemen, your obedient servant,
JOHN U. RAST RICK.
