CALEDONIAN.

The report by the directors of this company to
the half-yearly general meeting to be held at Glas-
gow on the 12th March says :—The revenue ac-
counts show a balance of 106,173/. ls. Hid. After
payment of dividend on—lst, the original prefer-
ence stock, 16,7661. 11s ; 2d, the new preference
shares, 8,4351. 6s. 8d ; there remains, 80,9621.
4s. 3/d. The directors recommend a dividend on
the ordinary stock at the rate of five per cent. per
annum, 77,137/. 18s. 6d., and that the surplus,
3,824/. ss. 9d., be carried to the credit of the con-
tingent account, which will stand thus :—Surplus
revenue as at 31st July, 1857, 9,392/. Bs. 51. De-
duct-Ist, expended during the half-year, for re-
newal of bridges, 1,034/. 10s. 2d. ; 2d, sum at the
credit of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company to
31st July, 1857, under the working agreement,
1,777/. 149. 3d. Add surplus revenue ou accounts
for the half-year to 31st of January, 1858, 3,824/.
ss. 91d. Sum at the credit of the contingent ac-
count as at 31st January, 1858, 7,4041. Os. 101 d.
The revenue and working expenses are contrasted
as follows with those of the half-year to 31st
January, 1857 :—Revenue, 1857, 330,358/. ; 1858,
350,654/. ; working expenses, 1857, 137,0641. ;
1851, 131,950/. The company are interested in
four bills now before Parliament, for—let. The
Daltnarnock Branch, from the Clydesdale Branch
at Rutherglen to the East End of Glasgow—length
about a mile, and the estimated ccst under 572000/.
2d. The Port Carlisle Branch—to connect the main ,
line at its southern terminus with the Port Carlisle
Railway—length about half a mile ; estimated cost,
10,000/. 3d. The Symington, Biggar, and Brough-
ton Railway. This is a branch for which an act
was o'etained in 1847, but the powers expired
before the company were in a position to execute
the works. The line is now revived by the land-
owners and others locally interested, this com-
pany contributing 7,5001. towards the capital
of 36,000/., and engaging to work the branch
(exclusive of maintenance) at 40 per cent. of the re-
ceipts. 4th. The Carlisle, Langholm, and Hawick
Railway. In compliance with the power given
to the directors by the shareholders at the last half-
yearly meeting, arrangements have been made with
the promoters of this railway to subscribe 125,0001.
towards the capital of 365,000/., and to work the
line at 45 per cent. of the receipts. No effort should
be spared to carry this bill, and to defeat the
aggressive measure of the North British Company,
who, as already explained, seek to appropriate
traffic, and to occupy districts already assigned by
Parliament to this company, and which cannot be
given to another without breach of the conditions
of the original grant to the Caledonian.
