train mile in the past half-year were Bs. 11d., and
the expenses 4s. 54d. per train mile. The receipts,'•
although on the whole satisfactory, might fairly
have been expected better, had not unfavourable
circumstances occurred. During the half-year end-
ing the 30th of June last that portion of Lower
Bengal over which this company's operations
extended was visited by numerous heavy storms
and by two cyclones, the latter of which fully
equalled in violence that which occurred in
1867. Those cyclones were considered by the
agency to have had a disastrous effect on the boat
traffic, for at Dacca alone it was reported that up-
wards of 800 boats had been destroyed, and at
other places the destruction must have been equally
great ; goods, therefore, which, under ordinary cir-
cutnstances, would have reached the railway at
Kooshtea in boats, must have been detained for
want of carriages. The working expenses of the rail-
way, exclusive of thesteamers, amounted 101.41,530,
or 50.05 per cent. of the gross receipts, against
£36,663, or 16.91 per cent, in the same half of 1868.
The net profits of the half-year, declared according to
the rule laid down by Government, amounted to
£38,393 ; they included £896, being oatstandings
brought from the previous half-year, and excluded
£2,109, b:ing outstandings carried forward to the
next account. The gross receipts of the railway
and also of the steamer traffic of the first 15 weeks
of the current year showed an increase over those
of the corresponding period of 1868. The regular
fortnightly service between Kooshtea and Assam
had been worked during the half-year by the India
General Steam Navigation Company's steamers
with regularity. The total expenditure on capital
amounted to £2,646,701.
The total expenses of the Manchester, Sheffield,
and Lincolnshire Company's railways and canals,
including rents, tolls, duty, &c., from the Ist of
July to the 14th of November, 1869, amounted to
£203,274, as against £197,482 for the correspond-
ing period of 1868. The proportion of the South
Junction receipts accruing to this company from
the Ist of July to the 14th November amounted to
£15,842, as against £14,594 for the corresponding
period of 1868, and the expenses to £7,891, as
against £7,350.
