SHEFFIELD, ROTHERHAM, BARNSLEY,

WAKEFIELD, HUDDERSFIELD, AND GOOLE.
The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at
the offices, Wakefield, yesterday ; Mr. E. B. Beaumont
in the chair.

Mr. lIANDFIELD, the secretary, read the directors' re:
port. It stated that,
" Arrangements had been made with Messrs. Miller
and Co., the contractors, to reduce all future works on
contract No. 1 (with the exception of the bridges over
the line), to dimensions sufficient for a single line of way,
and also to complete the Silkstone branch with a single
line of way ; the whole to be completed, so as fo be
opened to the public by the 31st December, 1849. The
works of No. 2 contract had been suspended since the
in"e',"MgiVgll9Patstlie Tha or contract vtion of the
junction with the Sheffield and Rotherham' fairwl;y,
and also the Silkstone Branch, had been staked out and
the plans prepared. The works between Horbury and
Barnsley had proceeded with as much expedition as was
consistent with the pledge given to the shareholders
at the last meeting, that the call would be limited
to 51. per share, an amount the directors con-
sidered sufficient for the prosecution of the un-
dertaking, having due regard to the financial
difficulties under which all classes have been labouring;
and which had induced the directors to restrict the ex-
penditure to the lowest possible point, by suspending
more active operations until a more economical method
of carrying out the whole project could be devised. In
effecting these objects, a collision of opinion unfortu-
nately took place between the directors of the southern
and those of the northern portion, those connected with
the latter division requiring the scheme to be carried
out in all its integrity, while the southern directors felt
that the difficulties before them were of too great a
magnitude to justify them in the heavy outlay which
the immediate formation of the line as originally con-
templated would involve. These differences proceeded
so far us to result in a Parliamentary conflict upon a
Bill introduced by the South Yorkshire Company in the
' present session. As one result, however, of this pro-
ceeding, the directors congratulated them upon an
arrangement which had been come to, end which
while it secured to the district the formation of the
line, would be attended with such a diminution of the
cost as would prove most beneficial to the shareholders.
This arrangement was the reduction of the works to a
single line of wsy throughout. As regarded the
Northern division, the difference from this saving would
be such as to reduce the amount necessary for the con-
struction, from 251. to 181. 10s. per share, and upon this
diminished amount the original guarantee of 51. per
cent. and half surplus profits from the Lancashire and
Yorkshire Company would be continued. It was, how-
ever, stipulated in the amended agreement, that the line
should be handed over to the Lancashire and Yorkshire
Company, passed by the Government inspector as ready
for traffic; on or before the 31st of December, 1849; the
guarantee in this case to extend to 250,0001. should that
sum be necessary; and, on the other hand,
failing the completion of the works by the
stipulated period, the guarantee is to be limited
to 250,000/. From the forward progress of the works
of this division, the directors did not anticipate the least
difficulty in carrying out this agreement. But they
begged to impress upon the shareholders the absolute
necessity of their finding the necessary funds for the
completion of the line within the stipulated period. The
nature of this altered arrangement rendered it their own
interest to do so. As regarded the southern division, the
director::, having given the subject their most mature de-
liberation, were of opinion that the formation of a single
line of railway to join the northern portion at Barnsley,
would be sufficient for the wants of the district, while the
saving effected thereby would be best calculated to ensure
its speedy construction, and to render the stock profitable
to those who had invested their capital in it."
The report was adopted, and after a vote of thanks to
the Chairman the meeting separated.

works, but had reluctaufly also to propose postponement
of payment of interest on shares that will become due
in• October, with the assurance that this postponement
should be of a duration as short as possible. The ba-
Imee-sheet, as per capital account, exhibited an expen-
diture of 1,820,5771., and a balance in the hands of the
bankers of 31,2271. The revenue account for the half-
ycar showed a receipt of 29,2691., and a balance carried
to profit and loss of 2,4871."
The CHAIRMAN having moved the adoption of the
report, a warm and protracted discussion ensued ; and
the motion having been finally carried, the proceedings
terminated.

quently, the result of the half-year's traffic was not so
satisfactory as could be desired, still a considerable
amount, which at present formed a subject of arbitration,
was now due to the company by the Post-office for the
conveyance of mails. The disadvantages under which
both the atmospheric and locomotive systems had la-
boured, had atieted the working expenses to an extent
that would not occur again. Though the working of the
atmospheric system had been greater than was antici-
d certain reductions had attended the progress of
pate , .
the experiment, which to an
extent, might probably be
relied on, but the whole of this important question was
referred to a committee, who examined into it for severe'
weeks, and, after balancing the various circumstances,
the directors, rJitliclt pronouncing any judgment as to
The ultimate success of the atmospheric system, and
whilst they were prepared to afford the patentees and
other parties interested in doing it the use of their ma-
chinery for continuing their own experiments, had ar-
rived at the conclusion, with the entire concurrence of
and recommendation of Mr. Brunel, to suspend the use
of the atmospheric system until the same shall be made '
efficient at the expense of the patentees and Mr. Samuda.
They were also prepared with arrangements for supply-
ing locomotive power from the date of its suspension. The
general depression of the times had affected the South
Devon in common with every other line. The passenger
traffic during the last 6 months had been—lst c1a55,42,869,

1,931,331 miles ; 3d class, 63,597, travelling 1,080,001
miles. The extension, in a few weeks, of the goods
traffic to Lain, would open a considerable source of
profit, and the early extension of the line into Plymouth,
and the opening of the branch to Torquay would be
energetically prosecuted. Owing to the limited means
at their command, the director! were compelled not only
to defer the present proceeding with

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was
moderately animated, but closed firmly. American sorts
at aid. to 34d. per lb., being,- rather higher. American,
5,000 bales, ranged from 34d. to sid. per lb. In Rail-
way shares there was a considerable improvement, and a
good business done at advanced prices. The market was
very firm, and had a rising tendency.
The Continental advices to hand this morning offer
very little of interest. From the reports of the various
markets, it would appear that there is a little improve-
ment in business, and that the stocks of many articles
are getting low. Nevertheless, until the affairs of Italy
and Denmark are settled, a decided or continuous ame-
lioration is not to be looked for.

The rates of exchange at Now York, on the
15th instant, were lower as regards England
and some other places, the supply of bills being
larger, but France was an exception owing
to the prostration of credit occasioned by the revolution,
and specie continued to be remitted. The Americans
seem inclined to keep back supplies of grain on the
presumption that prices may rise here, and that the
duty being off next year will be a compensation even
should no advance occur. The policy may be suc-
cessful, but when large supplies come in
simultaneously, perhaps, the advantage referred to
will be wholly lost ; a party writing at New
York remarks that as the season advances, the weekly
decrease in the receipts of produce becomes greater,
giving evidence that the aggregate receipts, at the close
of navigation, will be much smaller than was antici-
pated a month or six weeks since. With the immense
quantity of produce, particularly breadstuffs, in this
country, and the remunerating prices ruling in all the
seaport markets, it is a very extraordinary circumstance
that the leading articles do not come forward more ra-
pidly; that there is such an immense falling off, com-
pared with last season. We have no doubt that producer!,
in all parts of the country, are kbourtng, tinder vrimt
impressions relative to the future prices and future
demand. Elopes are entertained that the harvests of
Europe will prove deficient, and that an extensive de-
mand will arise for our agricultural products ; and it is
this belief that induces the farmer to hold un to his
grain, and is the prime cause of the reduced receipts.
In the event of a rise in prices, we should soon see such
an increase in receipts, at tide water, as would destroy
at once the existing idea relative to supplies in first
hands ; we should soon see that the country was full of
breadstuffs— that our stocks are by no means exhausted
by the enormous shipments of last year. It is by no
means certain yet that the harvests of Europe, particu-
larly those of Great Britain, will be even a fair average;
but it is hardly probable that the deficiency will be large
enough to create much of a demand for our bread-
stuff's."

This appears to us to be the common sense view of
the matter, and as such it may yet be acted upon.
The following is from British North America:—." In
our last we stated that a good crop in Canada this year
would go far to improve the circumstances of the coun-
try, and we rejoice to say that, from present appearances,
there is every reasonable hope that we shall realise an
ample crop, with the blessing of favourable harvest wea-
ther to save and secure it."

The announcement last night in Parliament by the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, that it is his intention to
sell Stock as opportunity offers, sets further doubt at
rest, and as it is not so likely to have a direct influence
upon the market as an open loan, the Funds have im-
proved upon it. At the same time, the knowledge that
a certain amount of Stock is to be thrown upon
the market will serve the Bears, who know well
how to profit by such opportunities. The price of Con-
sols has been up to 864 1, but the accounts from Paris
respecting Austria being unfavourable, there is a re-
action since to 86i- s for Transfer, and 861 for Account.
The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents, have been 87
to 874, and the Three per Cents. 864 to 861. Bank
Stock has been marked 1971. Exchequer-bills of June
have been 245. premium.
The Foreign Securities are looking well again, al-
though quiet. Spanish Three per Cents. have been
marked 224 to 231 ; Portuguese Four per Cents., 23;
and Mexican, 164 to ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. have been 451.
Railway Shares have bee❑ rather dull again, but
Midland, Eastern Counties, South-Eastern, and other
lines, it must be remembered, are oilioted to-day ex.
dividend, hence the lower market rata.

NEWRY AND ENNISKILLEN
RAILWAY.

A general meeting of the shareholders was held yester-
day afternoon at the Guildhall Coffee-house, when Mr.
Chubbock took the chair.
The report submitted stated that the Bill allowing
the company to make arrangements with other com-
panies for the more profitable construction of the works
and carrying the traffic on the line had received the
Royal assent, and the directors were now therefore
empowered to enter into arrangements with the Dublin
and Belfast Junction, the Ulster, the Newry, Warren-
point, and Rostrevor Railway Companies. The direc-
tors had come to the resolution not to purchase the
land between Gorah and Armagh as authorised by the
general meeting in 1847, intending, if possible, to avoid
the construction of that part of the line altogether, and
had accordingly avoided the purchase.
The report having been adopted unanimously, it was
decided that 4,805 shares, on which the calls had not
been duly paid, should be forfeited.
Mr. Talbot Moore and Captain Hamilton having been
elected directors, resolutions were adopted, suspending
the works until proper arrangements had been made with
other companies, and restraining the directors from
making any calls without the express sanction of the
shareholders.

Thanks having been passed to the Chairman and
directors, the meeting seperated.
