LONDON AND GREENWICH.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was
held yesterday at the office, Gresham-house, Old
Broad-street ; Mr. J. Pilcher in the chair.
Mr. APRON, the secretary, read the notice con-
vening the meeting. The accounts showed that
£22,500 had been received from the South-Eastern
Railway Company for the half-year's rental, to
which was added £271 balance of preceding ac-
count, and £4 for transfer fees, making together
£22,775. From this was deducted £9,972 for inte-
rest on bonds and preference stock, £392 for ex-
penses, £209 for balance of income tax, and £BO
interest on bankers' loans, leaving a balance of
£12,122 available for dividend, which, at the rate
of £1 7s. 6d. per cent. for the half-year, would ab-
sorb £11,846, and leave £276.
The CHAIRMAN moved that a dividend at the rate
of £1 7s. 6d. per cent. be declared payable on the
15th inst., which was seconded and carried.
The two retiring directors, Mr. J. Pilcher and
Captain S. Murray, were re-elected.
The CHAIRMAN said he was sorry that Mr.
Corney, owing to illness, had sent in his resigna-
tion, which they were bound to accept, and it was
proposed to elect Mr. Briscoe, of the Admiralty, to
the vacant seat at the Board.

Mr. BRISCOE was then unanimously elected direc-
tor of the company, in the place of Mr. Corney,
resigned.
The CIIAIRMAN read a letter from the bankers,
certifying the balance then to the credit of the
company, which agreed with accounts.

Mr. MACLAURIN supposed that the balance was
applicable to the payment of the present dividend.
In looking through the accounts of 1863 he found
there was a credit for interest received from the
bankers of £152 ; since that time, hoviever, he per-
ceived that the company had to pay interest on
account of borrowed money, and he would like to
know how it was that the interest account was now
reversed.

Mr. ADRON stated that it was owing to the in-
creased rate of interest since prevailing. They were
obliged to borrow from the bankers at certain times,
and as the rate at which they now borrowed was
so much higher than the rate they formerly saved
by borrowing the operation was reversed.
Mr. MACLAURIN thought it might be better ma-
naged in future, and hoped the secretary would have
the kindness to give them a statement at the next
meeting as to how it worked.
_

Mr. LETCHWORTH and Mr. MACLAURIN, two of
the oldest shareholders in the company, having re-
commended to the board that Mr. Watkins, who
had served the company efficiently and faithfully for
30 years, should receive a retiring pension, the pro-
ceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the
chairman and directors.
