NEWCASTLE AND CARLISLE.

The annual meeting of this company was held at
Newcastle on Tuesday, Mr. W. Woods in the chair.
The report stated that the remaining unissued
shares had been disposed of, thus closing the ordi-
nary share capital account, and the whole of the 41
per Cent.NewPreference shares were promptly taken
up, which had enabled the directors to pay the pur-
chase moneys of lands which had by agreement re-
mained at interest in the hands of the company, and
to reduce the debenture debt, which, during the
past year, had been renewed on more favourable
terms. The increase in the carriage of coke for
ironworks and other purposes had bean very consi-
derable. While the North British Railway Com-
pany and the Border Counties Railway Company
were combined in resisting the amalgamation of
this company with the North-Eastern Company,
they were themselves promoting a bill for the amal-
gamation of their two companies, through which
amalgamation .the North British Company sought
to divert traffic from the line of the Newcastle and
Carlisle Railway to their own, and from the east to
the west side of the island. The agreement with
the North-Eastern Company had proved that great
advantages to the trade of the district resulted from
a good understanding between the two companies,
and that still greater advantages would result from
the amalgamation of these two lines being carried
out. The collieries on the Newcastle and Carlisle
system had a desirable access to the Tyne Docks,
and the collieries of the North-Eastern system were
availing themselves of the facilities of shipment in
the ports on the west coast of Cumberland.
The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the re-
port. He gave a very favourable account of the
progress of the traffic on the line, especially in the
conveyance of minerals, during the past ten weeks.
He complained very much of the conduct of two
shareholders in taking proceedings in Chancery
against the company, to prevent their amalga-
mation with the Nerth-Eastern Company. He
protested against the North British, Border
Counties, and two other companies asking for
running powers over their line, which, if granted,
would virtually take the management of their rail-
way out of their own hands ; and he trusted the
shareholders would also oppose the applications to
Parliament.

Mr. P. HOWARD seconded the motion for the adop-
tion of the report, which was unanimously agreed to.
A dividend of £3 10s. per £lOO share for the half-
year ending the 31st December, payable on the 29th
inst., was declared, which, with the previous inter-
mediate payment of £2 15s. per cent., made the
dividend for the year £6 6s. per cent., leaving a
balance of £1,709.
The CHAIRMAN moved a resolution, authorising
the directors to oppose the bills now before Parlia-
ment promoted by the Derwent Valley Company,
the North British and Border Counties Railway
Companies, the Silloth Dock and Railway Company,
and the Port Carlisle Company, which sought run-
ning powers over the Newcastle and Carlisle line.
The motion was unanimously adopted.
Mr. Atkinson, Mr. Dunn, and Mr. Woods were
re-elected directors, and also Mr. Miller, the retir-
ing auditor.
The CHAIRMAN remarked that in 1827, 1828, and
1829, they had to fight inch by inch for their bill
to make the line, at great cost,in contending against
the prejudices of the landowners,who opposed them
from one end of the line to the other. When they
first commenced the railway they were obliged to
make it a mere tramway, and upon the directors
subsequently placing a small locomotive engine upon
the line a landowner procured an injunction in
Chancery to prevent them continuing it. Things
had since been entirely altered, for landlords now
opposed new lines if they did not pass through their
estates.

The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks
o the Chairman.

GREAT NORTH OF SCOTLAND.

The report of the directors states that the revenue
account for the half-year ending the 31st of January
last shows that £40,280 had been received, and
£20,718 expended, including £5,468 for interest on
loans and commission, leaving a balance of £19,562.
The proposed dividend, at the rate of 41 per cent.
per annum on the new preference shares, at the
rate of 6 per cent. per annum on the preference
stock, and at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum on
the original stock of the company, would absorb
£19,279, and leave £283. The working expenses
for the half-year amounted to 38 per cent. of the
gross receipts, as compared with 40 per cent. for the
11 months ending July last. The applications for

to be paid by equal instalment on Jan. 1, 1861, and
Jan. 1, 1862, with interest. The directors continued
to maintain friendly relations with neighbouring
railway companies. The promoters of a railway
from Keith to Dufftovvn, nine miles inland, made
application in August last for assistance in carrying
out their undertaking. Believing that the proposed
line, when completed, Would beneficially affect the
traffic the directors intimated to the promoters that,
provided the sum of £25,000, being one-half the
estimated cost of the line, was subscribed in shares
by parties locally interested in the district, they
would recommend the Great North of Scotland
Company to hold the remaining half, viz.,£B,ooo in
shares, and the balance in debentures, the latter only
until they could be placed in the hands of the pub •
