WEST CORNWALL RAILWAY.

The fourth half-yearly general meeting of the proprie-
tors of this company was held yesterday, at the King's
Arms Hotel, 17, Bridge-street, Westminster ; Captain
W. S. Moorsom in the chair.

The report stated that the calls already made, when
paid up, would sufficiently provide until after the next
half-yearly meeting for the liabilities falling due, arid
the directors had reason to expect that when the correct
position of the company should become known, a large
amount of interest would be taken by local parties to fill
up the diminutions caused by forfeitures in the share
list. The rev(nuo account for the half year ending 30th
June last exhibited an increase of carriage, as compared
with the corresponding period of 1847, as follows
:
On ores, 2.981 tons; en sand, 259 tons; on merchandise,
410 tons; on passengers, 6,281; but on coal a decrease of
132 tons. The report concluded with the expression of
a belief at this statement would no doubt be satisfac-
tory to Me proprietors, considering the peculiarly de-
pressed state of trade, which had been shown so ad-
versely on title traffic of other railways.
The report was adopted.
The CHAIRMAN then moved the forfeiture of 730
• shares, non which it appeared that various sums, from
V. to st. had been paid up.
This motion was also agreed to ; and after one or two
,questions of a local character the meeting adjourned,
paying the usual compliment to the chairman.
