The Committee of Direction beg to inform the Shareholders that
the requisite deposits with the parish-clerks, Private Bill-office, &c.,
have been made, and the whole of the notices served in compliance
with the Standing Orders of Parliament.
The value and importance of the line being universally admitted,
the Committee beg to- submit the following tabular statement, from
an examination of which the public will be able to judge how far the
engineering merits of this line will bear comparison with the other
schemes intended to accommodate the same district:—

From an examination of the preceding, it will Le seen that the
line of the Boston, Newark, and Sheffield Railway, as a communi-
cation between Boston and Sheffield, while it connects Boston and
Sleaford with Newark, which the others do not, has the advantages
over its opponents of 11Y2 miles in distance, 8,40 yards in tun-
nelling, and of a gradient of 1 in 120, instead of 1 in 84, thus effect-
ing an enormous saving in capital.
On the two other routes compared above, the advantages as to
gradients and tunnelling greatly preponderate on the same side, that
of the Boston, Newark, and Sheffield Railway; and these, according
to a principle lately most prominently announced by a great railway
authority—,, that the best railway is not alwires the shortest, but
that which works best "—much more than compoiseates for its greater
length of about three miles.
Besides, there are fourteen miles and a half of the route frßomanway

miles additional railway with very heavy gradients, in order to save
three miles and a half in their distance, as compared with the Boston,
Newark, and Sheffield line.
A more minute statement of the comparative merits of these lines,
which is now preparing, will, it is confidently anticipated, set at rest
all doubts as to the superior engineering merits of the Boston,
Newark, and Sheffield Railway, over Its rival schemes, and establish
its Parliamentary claims en an ielcontrovertible basis.

The following report was presented :
In meeting the shareholders at the beginning of the year, the Di-
rectors have the satisfaction to state, that the business of the Bank
continues steadily to improve, as will appear from the balance sheet
herewith submitted for their perusal and infermatita.
From this it will be seen that the transactions of the Bank during
the past half-year have netted a clear profit of 20,1301. Bs. Sd., which,
after paying a dividend at the rate of il. per cent. per annum on the
capital stock, free from intone-tax, will leave a balance of
2,1301. ss. Sd., to be carried to the reserve, which, together with the
interest due thereon, raises the amount of the guarantee fund to the
sum of 9Q,2071. 2s. 6d.
The seats in the direction to be vacated on the present occasion are
those occupied by Archibald Hastie, Esq., M.P., Witham Mitcalfe,
Esq., Ambrose Moore, Esq., John Timothy Oxley, Esq., and William
Shadbolt, Esq., all of whom have given notice that they are candi-
dates for re-election.
In conformity with the recommendation of the Proprietors at the
last general meeting, that the Board should take into their coasidera-
tien the practicability of instituting a fund for the benefit of the clerks
of the establishment, in case of sickness, age, er other incapacity aris-
ing while in the service of thelifink, the Directors have to state that
the recommendation has had their anxious and deliberate considera-
tion ; and that, with a due regard to all the interests concerned, they
have arrived at the conclusion that the satisfactory management of
such a fund would be most difficult, if not impossible, and they, there-
fore, cannot recommend its adoption.
The half-year's dividend will be payable on and after Friday, the
23d day of January inst.
The preceding report having been read to the meeting by the Se-
cretary, a dividend for the half-year ending the 31st December last,
after the rate of 61. per centum per annum, was declared by the
Chairman.
Resolved unanimously, That the report now read be received, and
that it be printed for the use of the Shareholders.
The following Directors having retired from office, kr virtue of the
provisionS of the deed of settlement, were unanimously re-elected,
viz.:—
Archibald Hastie, Esq., M.P. John Timothy Oxley, Esq.
William Mitcalfe, Esq. William Shadbolt., Esq.
Ambrose Moore Esq.
Resolved, That it is not expedient that the Directors should recom-
mend any one of the candidates to the Proprietors upon any occasion
of a vacancy.
Resolved unanimously, That the thanks of this meeting be pre-
sented to the Chairman and Directors for their good management of
the affairs of the Bank, and for their uniform kindness to the pro-
prietors.
Resolved unanimously, That the thanks of this meeting be given
to George Pollard, Esq , the Manager, for his unremitting attention
to the interests of the Bank.
WILLIAM CURLING, Esq., Chairman.

Resolved unanimously, That the warmest thanks of the meeting
be tendered to the Chairman fur his able, courteous, and impartial
*undue in the chair.
WILLIAM MILLER CHRISTI, Esq., Deputy-Chairman.

THE LATE ACCIDENT on the NORFOLK
RAILWAY.—What was the cause of the late accident on
the above line ?—The suddenly shutting off the steam? No; though
Bidder would have it so.—Stevenson's long tubular boiler? No ;
though Pasley, in rough contradiction to Bidder, would have it so.
What then ? Why, see the " Evening Sun" of the With of last June,
where you will ascertain the why and the wherefore of these con-
tinued accidents incidental to the present imperfect construction of
railways and their prevention. NOTTUSOJIIN.
