THE CORK AND WATERFORD
RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY).
The second half-yearly meeting of this company
was held to-day, at one o'clock. Dr. Bowring, M.P.
took the chair, in the absence of -the chairman, Mr.
Thomas Wyse. Not more than half-a-dozen share-
holders were present,
The seal of the company having been BMW to the
Registry of Proprietors,
The SECRETARY then read the report, from which
the following are extracts :
" The directors having maturely considered the
position and the prospects of tile company, determined
upon making a call 01/. share, payable on or before
the 29th of September, la47,per
railwaytha purpose of under-
taking that portion of the line offrwfhich extends
constructed
eight
from Waterford to Tramore, a distanceca nbe
,masonry,
isficor
miles, which, as they are advised,
about the sum of 95,0001., viz.: earthwork
40,0001. ; plant, carriages, and stations, 45,000/. ;pui:=
chase of land, 10,0001. It is intended for the present,
that a single line only be made, but the earthworks will
be so constructed as to be available for a double line,
should that be deemed hereafter desirable. Your di-
rectors have had the satisfaction of remarking, that
Irish railways have already attracted the serious and
favourable attention of the Legislature; and they cannot
refrain from noticing the language of Lord John Russell,
in his speech in the House of Commons, on May 13th,
1847, with reference to the Irish fisheries, as par-
ticularly applicable to the Cork and Waterford Railway.
Lordship said, 'That it was to remunerative markets,
litoisthe internal improvements of the country, that he
looked for the prosperity of the fisheries of Ireland. He
believed that theconstruction of railways in Ireland
would furnish a great stimulus to the Irish fisheries; he
had no hesitation in saying, that a railroad across the
country to Galway, and another leading to the great
fishing stations in the sopauntoil.of Ireland, by which the
fish might be brought to in, and even for the Eng-
lish market, would be of ui
mediate benefit. These
lvi
communications would no dnloill
ultimately Noble Lord
fished, and he quite agreedestab-
opposite (Lord George Bentinck),
he had
thtougha line of
opposed his motion on the subject,
Dublin,
iotfthhlareland,'
railway connecting the coast of Ireland at
will afford a great stimulus to the fisheries
To this may be added the well-known fact,
Irish railways on which only small portions of tthrae 14"
'are completed and at work, are already r ; :
ece.v.n gamipnle
returns. Under these circumstances, your directors
feeling confident that by careful and prudent manage..
meat, a fair remuneration, at no distant period, may
be looked for from this; part of the line, recom-
mend that the works on that portion of the line
from Waterford, with the branch of half a mile
to Tramore, being a distance of eight miles,
be proceeded with as soon as possible. That
us the sum of 95,000 L would be sufficient for the
accomplishment of this object, and, as the amount of
forty
shillings per share with the balance in band would
Supply adequate funds, a call of ten shillings per share,
(with a view to
twenty
accommodation of the shareholders),
instead of the
made payable on tehnet3:shillings already advertised, be
4ther portion of
the
1. 39th September next ; and that no
further line be commenced until the pro- ,
iriety of such roceeding shall have been sub-
-witted to a generalmeeting of the shareholders. Your
41irectors trast that this will obtain the general con-
tueeence of the shat
it will give them posses-
ne ot the line, while it pro-

wthardcoantemplated outlay, and
maises an adequate return for

irrosperous times to carry out and ceonabliug them in more
s portion of the
roject. The plans and survey
