DIRECTORS' REPORT.

Your directors submit to the shareholders the usual state-
ments of account for the half-year, ending 31st December
last, which show that the receipts and disbursements to the
31st June, amounted to—

_
Receipts,.£32l,o66 19 0
And for the half-year ending 31st December, 237,432 0 0

£558,493 19 0

Payments, £272.127 8 3
And for the half-year ending 31st December, 248,814 13 7
Leaving a balance of

£558,498 19 0
"Of the above balance 23,8251. were in deposit with the
Accountant-General, and 13,731/. 17s. 2d either in bankers'
hands, or invested in securities, at the date to which the ac-
counts are made up.
"In considering the financial position of the Company to
the close of the year, it is necessary to observe that the in-
creasing progress of the works within the last six months
has called for an enlarged scale of exrenditure. and rendered
it imperative upon your directors not only to make calls upon
the shareholders as rapidly as the provisions of the Act of
Incorporation would admit of, but also to make the amount
of their last call greater than any which had preceded it.
" From a desire to avoid as far as possible any pressure
upon the proprietary, your directors advertised in Novem-
ber last, for loans on debenture, at 4 per cent., but which
however, owing to the mania for railway speculation, the
evil of which was then beginning to be felt, they regret to
state they were not successful in obtaining to an amount at
all commensurate with their wants, and no alternative was
then left but to follow the course which they reluctantly
adopted. It is gratifying to state that this call was in ge-
neral responded to by the shareholders with th• greatest
punctuality. _

" In regard to the several projects for lines in which the
Company is interested, and for which Bills are now before
Parliament, your directors have no further information to
convey than that which was communicated in their report of
the 30th August, and ii the proceedings of the special meet-
ing of the 11th November. With the exception of the Ash-
burton and South Devon Junction, and the Exeter, Topsham,
and Exmouth Railways, all of them are still before the
Committee of Standing Orders.
" It would now be the duty of your directors to allude to
the state and progress of the works upon the line, but as a
detailed report has been prepared by your engineer, they be-
lieve that they will best consult your wishes by referring you
to that document for the desired information.

" Whilst they cannot but partake of the general feeling of
disappointment which they regret to find is so prevalent at
the delay which has occurred in opening the line between
Exeter and Newton, that feeling would have been greatly
increased did they not feel conscious that no want of atten-
tion or of exertion on their part has been instrumental in
causing that delay, and that it is to be attributed to circum-
stances which they could neither have contemplated nor pre-
vented. They have the satisfaction of believing also, that
however disappointing the delay may have been, it will yet,
in the greater perfection and security of the works, ulti-
mately prove advantageous to the interests of the Company.
"Your directors cannot be surprised that the attacks with
which both the South Devon Railway and the atmospheric
system of traction have been so perseveringly assailed, should
have induced many persons to suppose the one to be very
defective and insecure, and the other to have proved a total
failure. But they believe that it would not be difficult
to trace the exaggerated statements and perversions
of fact which have constantly appeared in certain
publications, to insidious attempts of parties inte-
rested in decrying the one and suppressing the other.
Your directors would not however have deemed it necessary
to bestow any notice on such mis-statements, but for the op-
portunity which it affords them of expressing to the share-
holders their undiminished confidence in the atmospheric
system of traction, and of assuring them that the prejudice
which has been raised against that part of the line which
passes over the sea beach, is entirely destitute of truth: of
this the public will themselves shortly be enabled to judge.
"Confident as your directors continue to be of the succes-
ful working of the atmospheric system, the unforseen delays
which may occur, where many of the minor but necessary de-
tails are still experimental, hays suggested the expediency of
taking the advantage of the early summer traffic by running
passenger trains with a locomotive engine on the line as far
as Teignmouth.
"Your directors consider that this may be done, not only
inexpensively and with little or no interruption to the pro-
gress of the atmospheric arrangements, but with considerable
advantage to the Company.

" In conclusion your directors have to report that the Great
Western Railway Company have appointed Mr. George
Jones to be a director in the place of Mr. W. S. Jacques,
deceased.'

" In conformity with the 88th clause of the Act of Incor-
poation, the following directors retire by rotation, but are
duly qualified for re-election :—Mr. Gill, Mr. Cole, Lord
Courtenay, and Mr. Fox ; and it will be the duty of this
meeting, under the 108th clause of the Act of Incorporation,
to proceed to the election of two auditors for the ensuing year.
" THOMAS GILL, Chairman."

INSTITUTION OF CIVIL
ENGINEERS.
(Sir John Rennie, President, in the Chair.)
The first paper read (on the 24th ult.) was a " De-
scription of the Dinting Vale Viaduct, on the line
of the Sheffield and Manchester Railway," by
A. S. Gee,' Member I. C. E. This viaduct consists of
sixteen arches, five of which are of timber, and seven of
of bricks. The whole of the large piers, wings, outside
spandrils, and parapets are built of stone, from the
quarries in the neighhiurnood.
The five large arches, which are each of 125 feet span,
and twenty-five feet versed sine, are built of Memel tim-
ber; the main ribs of these arches are composed of
planking three inches thick, bent and laid longitudi-
nally, and fastened together with oak trenails, and firmly
stayed by means of wrought iron tie-rods•
The smaller semicircular arches, situated at each end
of the viaduct, are built of brick, with stone quoins.
They are of fifty feet in the span and three feet in thick-
ness, and are built in a curve of forty chains radius, the
piers being wedge shaped to suit the curve, leaving the
faces parallel with each other.

The entire cost of the viaduct (which was given in its
various details in the paper) was stated to be 35,250/.
6s. 5d., its total length 484 yards, and its greatest height
about 125. feet above the water course. It was com-
menced early in 1843, and was opened on the Bth of
August, 1844. The average cost of construction was
calculated at about 21. 14s. per superficial yard, and
6s. 9d. per cubic yard, the viaduct being eighty yards wide.
The paper by Mr. G. W. Hemans, M. Inst., C.E., de-
scribed the system invented by Sir J. Macneill, and em-
ployed on the Dublin and Drogheda Railway for pre-
paring the transverse sleepers, and fastening the rails
upon them.

The sleepers are half baulks, 12 inches by 6 inches at
the junction of the rails, and intermediately half tree;
of larch; with the bark on, not less than $ inches by
4 inches, are placed, with the round side up yards,
at an average distance of 2 feet 6 inches apart.
These , sleepers are prepared for bearing the rails,
by fixing twelve at a time on a sliding table,
similar to that of a planing machine ; they are moved
forward by steam power beneath two circular cutters,
set at the given distance of the gauge apart, and re-
volving very rapidly, and which pass through the whole
series of sleepers, cutting, at a given inclination, the
seats for the rails. A slight stoppage of the table takes
place as each sleeper is rut, in order to afford time for
four drills to descend simultaneously, and to pierce the
holes for the pins or trenails fur holding down the rails.
An engine of six-horse power suffices for working two
of these machines, by which one thousand sleepers can
be finished complete in twenty- four hours, at an expense
of about ld. each, instead of lid each, which they
formerly cost by manual labour.
The sleepers thus prepared are used traversely be-
neath rails of the bridge, from which the sides are
slightly pinched inwards, in finishing, so as to form a
dovetail with a joint plate with a raised rib, which is laid
at each junction, and which, by using a screw pin and
plate at one end, and a collar-headed pin at the other,
holds the rail very fast, preventing lateral and vertical
motion, but permitting longitudinal action in expansion
and contraction. These rails weigh 831 b. per yard. The
total cost per mile of the double line, including rails,
sleepers, piers, spikes, joint chains, &c., laid complete,
is stated at 3,4701. 2s. Bd., when the rails cost 71. 53.
per ton.

The paper by Mr. W. Vanderkiete, Assoc..lnst, C. E.,
described a very useful arrangement of machinery for
working the diving-bell used in setting the masonry, at
a depth of about eight feet below the level of ex traor-
dinary spring tides, in the extension of the pier at
Kilrush, in the river Shannon, under the direction of
Mr. T. Rhodes, the chief engineer of the Shannon
Commissioners. Upon a series of piles and longi-
tudinal timbers, a railway was laid, upon which
two travelling platforms were constructed; with
winches, &c. One of them brought the stone nearly
over its intended position, and lowered it into the sea ;
the other then brought the diving-bill over it, and by
means of a chain and purchase, the stone was lifted and
placed properly in its place by the men in the bell. This
work was continued through all seasons, and with the
utmost regularity, and the work 80 constructed was as

solid as ifbuilt on dry land. The drawings accompany-
ing the-paper gave all the details of the machinery.
" An account of the drops used for the shipment of
coals at Middlesbro' on Tees," -by G. Turnbull, Mem.
Inst, C. E., was announced to be read at the meeting of
Tuesday, March 3d, 1846, when the monthly ballot fur
members will take place.

STATE OF OUR CONVICTS IN

VAN DIE:VIEN'S LAND.

(From the Glasgow Examiner.)

We have been favoured With the folloe-ving extracts
from the letter-of a highly respectable gentleman in Van
Diemen's Land, who has been eye wittness of the scenes
he describes:—
My protege, A-- B— has now served his proba-
tion, and come to town. As his eonduct during that
time has been remarkably good, he has at once received
a third-class ticket and is eligible for employment.
I have been doing my best to interest in his favour
those who are most able to serve him. Already,
through the Rev. Mr. Lillie, I have got him placed
amongst the convict writers at the Comptroller-General
of Convict's Office. It is almost impossible to get a suit-
' able situation for him just now, as the country is
deluged with people similarly situated, of acknow-
ledged talent and abilities, who are glad to take the
most mean and paltry situation in order to earn a few
shillings. Under these circumstances, he has set his
heart upon the situation of javelin mar. This is an em-
ployment under the sheriff ; the pay is very trifling, I
believe, but he prefers such a situation to a better with
one of the colonists, as he will be sure of passing through
the various stages of indulgence more quickly by being
thus paced under the eye of those who can extend these
advantages to him. lie will, besides (as in private ser-
vice), live away from the prisoners' barrack, and when
not occupied with his duties, be quite unrestricted in
the employment of his time up to a certain hour of the
evening—l believe seven o'clock—when all but free
people must be at their places of residence, or they will
be immediately picked up by the police—who are Argus•
eyed here—and if they cannot produce a special pass
from their employer, be consigned to the watch-house,
and next morning be sent by the police mogistrate to
the tread-mill. I am in great hopes that I shall
be able to proem° this situation through Mr. Lillie,
for him, as Mr. Burnet, the sheriff, is Mr. L.'s father-in-
law. You ask me if the convicts are obliged to wear
their peculiar garb after they are engaged by the free
population, thus marking them as belonging to the class
they do, to those who might be otherwise ignorant of it.
After a convict has served his probatiOn, he can wear
any dress he chooses, so that in that respect he is not
marked. I mean that strangers passing him in the
streets would, of course, think him a gentleman if he
was dressed as one ; but do not for a moment suppose
from this that a convict has any better chance of being
received into respectable society again merely by the
change in his dress. As I have before mentioned,
many prisoners have remained here after their sentence
had expired, and acquired a fortune, and are now
rolling in their carriages ; but for all that, there is a
broad line of demarcation placed between those
that have been convicts and those who have not
this awful stigma upon ahem. The history, origin,
and circumstances of every one who is in
society here are all known ; and in select society,
a gentleman could not commit a greater offence
than by introducing a person who has been a prisoner.
If the people at home are remarked for being reserved
to strangers, what would be said of the people here who
'would scarcely talk civilly to a stranger until they knew
his history. I could astonish you very much in a walk
through Hobart Town, by pointing out various charac-
ters who have obtained an unenviable notoriety at home,
whom we would meet now and then, and whom you
would pass by without remarking anything unusual
about them. Suppose I had the happiness of thus
acting as your cicerone, I will give you an example or
two :—Look at that good-looking man who is walking
with a quick pace towards us ; you see he is very
fashionably dressed, and has quite the air of an elegant ;
and were it not that his clothes are a little faded, and
the worse for wear, you would at once lay him down as
an exquisite of the first water ; well, that is King, the
London Post-office money-letter abstractor. . You will
observe that he is accompanied by another person,
a stout, grave, gentlemanlike individual, who, judging
by his manners and appearance, has evidently
,moved in good society, and enjoyed the comforts
Viand luxuries of this life • that is Beaumont Smith, the
celebrated exchequer-bill forger, who, disdaining to com-
mit a trifling peccadillo, aspired to glorious celebrity as
the prince of forgers, by doing business in that way to
the extent of two hundred and odd thousand pounds.
Going on further, we meet an old and rather shabbily-
, dressed man wearing a straw hat ; he is a clerk to one
of our grocers, and by the pepers in his hand, we may
guess that lie is going about collecting the accounts -of
his employer. It' you look attentively at his face, you
will at once conclude, from his grey hairs and wrinkled
care-worn face, that he is a man on whom the burning
ploughshare of grief and mental agony has done the
• work -of years ;—that is the unfortunate and misguided
Frost, the Chartist Reformer—one of the many hun-
dreds who might be pointed out to show the cruel
and wretched system pursued towards transported
criminals. I allude to the equality of punishment
which is dealt to all offenders ;—no matter how
various their crimes, how dissimilar their dispositions.
how different the depths of moral depravity to
which they have sunk, all are indiscriminately mixed
together in gangs; where men who have probably lived
at one time in an exemplary manner in good society,
supported the various characters of husband, father,
and friend, in a becoming and praiseworthy manner,
tvho are possessed of great abilities and good education,
but have in an evil hour (perhaps maddened by injury
and insult, or driven to despair by the prospect of indi-
gence and want) committed an act which has rendered
them amenable to the laws of their country. Men
such as these are herded together with the systematic
burglar and robber, the pickpocket, the habit and re-
pute thief—wretches who have been guilty of every
crime under heaVen, who from their infancy have been
reared and educated in every shape and form of vice,
whose language is obscene and blasphemous in the
extreme—all are worked, fed, and lodged indiscrimi-
nately together. We are told that the object of punish-
ment is the reformation of the criminal, and are im-
pelled to give our cordial approbation to the benevo-
lence of such a principle; but how such an enlightened
principle can be connected with the working :out of
the present probation system of convict discipline I am
at a loss to conceive. It is not the description of punish-
ment that I would altogether find fault with, although
that, is to a certain extent objectionable, both in kind and
degree, but it is the loathsome and degrading association.
flow can he who wishes to amend his life be expected to
reform—no matter how strong-minded he may be—
when' all day long his ears ring with the curses and
laughter of the vilest of mankind? If he shows a de-
termination to conduct himself well, he is assailed with
the'ridicule, mockery, and persecution of his companions.
In the evenings he hears nothing but the exulting rela-
lations of successful villany, of credulity deceived, of
charity and goodness abused, together with histories of
profligacy, ingratitude, and every species of wickedness.
The natural result of passing through such a dreadful
ordeal is, that whatwas at first heard with the utmost hor-
ror, the unhappy man gradually becomes accustomed to—
his feelings become day after day deadened to his de-
gradation—and at last, with the total extinction of
every moral and religious feeling, he becomes an
active partisan in crime, or he is only passively honest
until temptation is thrown in his way. This is a matter
in which our colonial autocrat, Lord Stanley, incurs a
fearful responsibility. - I doubt not if he were presented
with a complete and true picture of the awfully bad
effects of his crude and ill-digested experiments in "penal
science," it would harrow up bit soul, if he had a particle
of feeling.

Instead of Van Diemen's Land being a spot where the
erring children of men are reclaimed and won back to
. the paths of virtue and honesty, where a wise and good
Government pursues those measures which can best en-
sure the reformation of its criminals, it is converted into
a frightful pandemonium, where the comparatively good
are initiated into a knowledge of vice and wickedness, of
the existence of which they never previously dreamt.
This distant island, therefore, intended to be a theatre
for the development and growth of every latent spark
of honour and principle, is turned into a vast moral
grave, wherein is buried for ever every good and right
feeling with which a convict is possessed, when he sets
foot on its polluted shores !
I am, however, forgetting our friend, A- B-.
As he was without money, and not allowed to bring
out clothes with him, he found himself quite destitute in
that respect when he came again to town, and would
have laboured under a very great disadvantage in ob-
taining employment, if dressed in the prisoner's clothing.
I therefore sent him to my tailor, who supplied him
with a new suit, so that he now looks respectable. The
whole expense or his rig-out, which was managed as
economically as possible, will cost me something more
than five pounds, which will be well bestowed, it I can
get him a situation away from his vile associates, and so
be the means of saving one victim of imperial expedi-
ency. I have great hopes of him ; he appears very
grateful, aud, I trust, will do well. If he should dis-
credit the description I have given of him to those whom
/ have spoken to on his behalf, by misbehaving, I shall
of course be compelled to abandon him te his fate.
