BRIGHTON AND CHICHESTER
RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.)
The half-yearly meeting of the Brighton and Chichester
Railway Company was held this day, at eleven o'cleck. at
the offices of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Rail-
way, London-bridge Terminus, for general purpoies, and the
re-election of three directors.—The Hon. Captain Hotham
presided.

The advertisement, calling the meeting, having been read,
and the common seal of the Company affixed to the register
of proprietors,
The CHAIRMAN said that it would be unnecessary for him
to trouble them with any lengthened observations. Those
present were aware they were obliged to call the meeting, as
until the Portsmouth Extension line was finished they could
not legally sell it to the Brighton Railway, and as vet they
stood therefore in the position of an independent Cont; any.
The Portsmouth Extension line, for the first eight miles of
its course from Cnichester to Havant would be opened in
March, and it was expected that the whole distance would
be opened by the end of May. He Would now call on the
secretary, Mr. Williams, to read the state of accounts.
The Secretary was proceeding to read the accounts in de-
tail, but it was suggested that the gross sum would be suffi-
cient. The experditure to the 30th June, 1846,
was
From Ist July to 31st Dec. 126,665 14 2

£230,479 12 8
The accounts having been passed, the three directors who
retired by rotation were re-elected, and no other business re-
maining, the meeting separated.
