THE MADRID AND VALENCIA
RAIL WAY.—(THIS DAY.)
A special meeting of the shareholders in this Com-
pany was held, at one o'clock this day, at the London
Tavern, to hear a statement from the chairman, William
Chadwick,Esq., who has been recently in Madrid on the
affairs of the Company. A considerable number of
Aar, holders were present.
Mr. FOWELL, the secretary, having read the advertise •
meat convening the meeting, proceeded to read the re-
port as follows :
" The directors have, through the personal interven-
tion of their chairman, Mr. Chadwick, made the most
important and satisfactory arrangements with the board
of the Spanish directors, at a meeting held at Madrid on
the 25th of September last.
"At which meeting it was resolved and confirmed by
a written engagement of all the board,
" That 27,1)00 shares should hi forthwith taken up
and paid on at par, that being the proportionate number
set apart rateably to those subscribed for in England, in
accordance with the sth article in the concession, as
follows:
" The Company is hereby bound to admit such
Spanish capitalists as may require it, to a participation
in this enterprise, to the extent of one-third of the shares
of the Company.'
" The Spanish direction have, in conformity with this
article, met the terms of the concession.
" His Excellency Senor Don Luis Mayans, the chair-
man, reported—
" That by the advice of Mr. Chadwick the members of
their board had felt it their duty to memorialise the Go-
vernment to authorise the Company to carry out the
work of the whole line by sections.
" This important modification having been conceded,
the directors are satisfied that they can at once under-
take that valuable section of the line extending over 27i
miles of the most productive portion of the countrj, con-
necting Valencia with San Felipe, and from the Deports
made by the engineers, and confirmed by the personal
investigation of Mr. Chadwick, the directors feel confi-
dent that the profits on this section will, in a short time,
enable the Company to divide a very considerable
dividend.
“ They likewise recommend the construction of that
part of the line between Pinto and the Tagus.
" In consequence of the great facilities afforded by the
Spanish Government for carrying out the undertaking,
the directors do net deem it expedient in the existing
state of the money market to issue any more shares at
present ; but those unappropriated will, at a future
period, should their expectations be realised, be offered
in the shape of a boon or bonus to the shareholders in
rateable proportions.
" The directors cannot, however, conclude their repert
without reiterating their undiminished confidence in the
merits of this project, for, in addition to the present
extensive local traffic to the port of Valencia, in corn
rice, and fruit, a large increase must arise from this
being the through line for railway communication to and
from France and Spain, as well as the main trunk line
for the traffic from the Mediterranean coast to Madrid
and the interior.

" The directors have the fullest confidence that the
funds in band will amply meet all engagements for the
carrying on the works of the sections alluded to during
the next twelve months, consequently there will be no
necessity for any call on the shareholders within that
period."
The report was received with loud applause and a few
hisses.
The CHAIRMAN said, when the directors last had the
pleasure of meeting the shareholders it wag thought
Desirable not to proceed with the undertaking until a
further application was made to the Spaniards in order
to know what amount of capital they were riffling
to take up. The directors, however, upon a ,
full consideration of the subject, thought there was one
point far more important than that, namely, the possi-
bility of carrying out the works of the line by sections,
and thereby showing the Spaniards if they once had a
line in that company how to appreciate it. There was
no doubt in the world, when the line was made, that
there would be such an amount of traffic from other dis-
tricts of the country as would defray almost any
amount of outlay; but the difficulties of the country in
many parts were of such a nature as to prevent lines
from paying an adequate sum for the large outlay neces-
sary for the construction of the works. Having recently
lottaforrotiktry traversed by their line, he must
alia ta.*nions were confirmed, that it was one
riehrwritfreTiVraNkn_ ample return for the capital invested
t.- Zuellte
_rivrais one feature which he begged to
