WEST CORNWALL RAILWAY.

The adjourned Half-yearly General Meeting of the
proprietors of the West Cornwall Railway was held yester-
day afternoon, at the King's Arms Hotel, in Palace-yard,
Westminster; Captain Moorsom in the chair.
The report of the committee stated that it was esti-
mated by Mr.Brunel that the line from Hoyle to Penzance
would cost 100,000/. for a double line, and 82,000/. for a
single line; from Hoyle toßedwith, 155,000/. fora double
and 100,000/. for a single line; from Redwith to Truro
Junction, 125,000/. for a double and 110 000/. for a
single line; and for the Falmouth branch, 95,0001. for a
double and 80,0001. for a single line, making in the
whole a total mileage of nearly forty miles; and as the
traffic of these districts was very extensive, holding out
a prospect of a good return, the report recommended
that these lines should be proceeded with by degrees
after a lapse of six months. The amount raised
by the West Cornwall Company up to the present
line was 64,617/. 10s., of which 22,595/. 2s.
had been paid to the solicitors on account, 10,66t3/. 13s.
7d. to the engineers, and 6,0001. on account of the Hoyle
Railway, leaving a balance in hand of 1,914/. 17s. sd.
The liabilities of the company amounted to 24,7321. 6s.
6d. The shares, however, which had already been
allotted would yield 271,739/.; and this sum, after satis-
fying the liabilities, would enable the company to com-
plete the lines already mentioned, without having
reference to its borrowing powers.
After some discussion it was agreed that the meeting
should be adjourned, to enable the directors to consider
what course they thought it best to adopt under the
circumstances, and the meeting terminated.
