RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE.

MADRAS.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was
held yesterday at the London Tavern—Major-Gen.
Sim in the chair.

The report, which was of considerable length,
was taken as read. It stated that during the p'st
half-year the operations had been rigorously pur-
sued on the several lines in course of construction.
Several additional sections of the main line had
been opened, and the remainder brought near com-
pletion. The works on the Bangalore line had gone
actively forward, considerable progiess had been
made on the Bellary line, and its first section of 17
miles was now about to be opened for raffle. On
the main line the section from Goriattum to Amboor,
17 miles, wes opened on the 16th Jan. last, to
Vanimbady, 10 miles more, on the Ist Feb., and to
Tripatore, 14 miles, on the 23d May, making 41
miles of new line, and completing 137 miles from
Madras. The terminal buildings at Beypoor were
sufficiently advanced to cause no delay in opening
the line when ready. 'By the end of this year very
little would remain to be done for the completion
of the railway between Madras and Beypcor—a
distance of 400 miles from coast to coast. The first
section of the Bellary ~branch from Arconum to
Naggery, 17 miles, wouldibe opened this month,
giving a continuous railway communication of nearly
60 miles from Madras jowards Cuddapa, and upon
which a considerable iraffiiwas expected. The total
number of passengers carried in the six months was
450,224, being heady three, times the number car-
ried in the correlpiin—ding half 0f1859. The receipts
exceeded by 641* " se_:, the correspond-
ing period of Iser.-y90.4- liisanolint of goods traffic
carried exceeded that 9,1`. the corresponding period
by 621 per cent., and theiteeipts by 54/ per cent.
those of -that peripscthe quantity carried being
34,461 tons, against 21,168 tons, and the receipts
£10,564 againsf£6,B23,forl.he corresponding half
of 1859. The gross- traffi9,for the half-year ending
the 30th June last amerinted to £35,593, against
£23,783 for the corresponding-period, and the ex-
penses to £17,551, or 49.30 'per cent., ;gelid £9,208,
or 38.71 per cent. The receipts for carriage of per-
manent way materials amounted to 11 per cent. of
the gross receipts.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption' of the'
report, explained the state of the works at different
places on the :company's Thies. The progress had'
been satisfactory, and it was expected that the
main line would be opened to . Salem, 205 miles
from Madras, on the lst of January next, and soon
after to Colmbatore. The whole distance from
Madras to Beypoor, of over 400 miles, would be
opened for traffic in the course of next year. The
Bangalore branch, 84 miles in length, would be
completed and opened as soon as possible, and
from which they expected a considerable traffic.
Mr. NORTON seconded the motion for the adop-
tion of the report.
In reply to questions, it was stated that the cost
'of the line already executed had been about £7060
a-mile, exclusive of rolling stock, and they had no
reason to suppose that that rate of cost would be
exceeded. Experimental' rates had been adopted
with a view to divert the goods traffic from the
road to the railway. First •class fares for passen-
gers were lid per mile, the second id. per mile,
and the third tld. per mile. The charge for goods
was I.d. per ton per mile.
The report was unani,x.ously adopted, and the
proceedings terminated.
