RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH-COAST.

The report or the directors of this company states
that the amount received on capital account to the
31st of December, 1865, was £13,823,182, and that
it consisted of £5,342,933 ordinary stock and shares
£5,026,615 preference stock, £2,156,285 mortgage
debt, and £1,297,349 debenture stock. The amount
of capital expended during the half year had been
£687,078. The gross revenue for the past half year'
had been £619,741, showing an increase of £37,112
over the corresponding half of 1864, and Making
the gross revenue of 1865 £1,116,199 or £67,269 in
excess of that for the previous year. Besides carry-
ing forward a balance of £8,267, the highest rate
of dividend ever paid by the company had been
reached within a fraction, notwithstanding that
the traffic of the lines recently opened, particu-
larly the Horsham and Guildford, the Bognor
and Seaford, as well as the Littlehampton steam-
boat service was by no means developed. The in-
crease of the revenue had been uniform at almost
all the 117 stations, not being confined to parti-
cular points. The great reduction of fares in
August, 1863, reduced the receipts from the traffic
between London and Brighton from £222,130 in
1862 to £213,420 in 1863 ; it rose again to £217,384
in 1864, and to £228,177 iu 1865. Those figures
included the gross traffic of every description be-
tween London and Brighton. As compared with
the corresponding half-year revenue was debited
with interest on the cost of plant prepared for
the South London traffic, on the capital of the Ban-
stead and Epsom Downs and the Horsham and
Guildford lines, and other outlay on cogapleted lines,
amounting in all to £550,095. The total receipts for
the past half year amounted to £609,281, against
£571,758, showing an increase of £37,523 ; and the
working expenses and renewals to £304,169, or 49
per cent., against £292,498, or 51 per cent., show-
ing an increase of £11,671. The expenses were 2s.
9d. per train mile, against 2s. 11d. per train mile in
the corresponding half of 1864. The large additions
made in 1865 to the train service, particularly to
Portsmouth, and the more recent separation of the
London-bridge and the Victoria expresses, avoiding
the stoppage at Croydon, had, with other similar
measures, resulted in affording great convenience to
the public and in contributing towards the increased
traffic. The express trains now performed the
journey between London and Brighton in 65 minutes,
and with greater facility and regularity than they
formerly did in 75 minutes. The line from Horsham
' to Guildford was opened for public traffic on the 2d
of October. Its proper development had been im-
peded by the inability of the London and South-
Western Company to furnish sufficient accommoda-
tion at their Guildford station, which this company
had the power to use. They believed that an im-
portant traffic from Brighton and the south coast to
Guildford and the west of England would be ob-
tained. The line to South Croydon was opened on
the Ist of September, and the station in the southern
part of that town would afford great accommoda-
tion to a neighbourhood where building was at
presentrapidly increasing, and would no doubt still
further increase by reason of the new railway ac-
commodation. The new station in the centre of
Croydon would shortly be ready for traffic. The
directors had applied to Parliament for the neces-
sary powers to carry out the arrangements with the
Surrey and Sussex Junction Railway Company.
The works had been let to eminent contractors, who
were already proceeding with energy, and the direc-
tors looked forward to important results from the
construction and completion of the undertaking,
which, under favourable circumstances, would be
ready within two years, and complete a third com-
munication between London and Brighton. The
net amount at the credit of the revenue account
was £181,515, out of which the directors recom-
mended payment of a dividend of 3+ per cent. for
the half-year, payable on the 12th of February,
amounting to £173,248, leaving a balance to the
credit of the current half-year of £8,267, and
making the dividend for the year 1865 amount to
51 per cent.

MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLN-
SHIRE.

The report of the directors states that the total
revenue for the past half-year from all sources
amounted to £546,638, and the total expenditure to
£238,935, leaving a net profit of £307,703, which,
with the balance of £2,063 from the previous half-
year, gave a total sum of £309,766 available for
interest and dividend. The debenture and other
interest chargeable against the revenue of the half-
year amounted to £70,715, the canal annuities to
£14,142, the dividends on the various classes of
preference stock and shares to £95,156, and the
South Yorkshire interest and dividends to £58,979,
making a total charge against the above net balance
of £154,137, leaving a balance of £70,771, out of
which the directors recommended that a dividend
be paid at the rate of £3 10s. per cent. per annum
on the ordinary stock of the company, leaving a
balance of £2,170 for next account.
Consolidated Discount Company.

(THIS DAY.)
At the half-yearly meeting to-day of the Consoli-
dated Discount Company the report presented stated
that in again meeting the shareholders, the directors
regret that they are unable to exhibit a more favour-
able balance-sheet ; but they would remind them
that they have had to contend against the frequent
and sudden alterations of the Bank rate, and the
movements being nearly all of an adverse character,
have seriously interfered with discount transactions ;
whilst the uncertainty of the market, by:restricting
operations, has materially diminished profits.

The Fenian TrialF.

DUBLIN, Saturday Evening.

Francis Cleary, who pleaded guilty on Thursday,
was to-day admitted to bail on his own recogni-
sauces in £5OO, and two securities in £2OO each.
The trial of Dennis Dowling Mulcahy was pro-
ceeded with, and' to-day he was found guilty and
sentenced to ten years' penal servitude. On being
called on to say why sentence should not be passed
upon him Mulcahy made a violent speech, which
the judge repeatedly interrupted.
Two persons, named O'Brien and Dunne, were
arrested in Belfast last night for Fenianism. They
were brought before the magistrates this day and
remanded.

An active search for arms was made by the police
last night, which resulted in the arrest of two men.

MR. GIBSON, THE SCULPTOR.---We are glad to

Churches, he visited the convent of the Dominican
Fathers, in the midst of which he spent the entire Sun-
day."
