IN- RE GREIG.

His Honour (Goulburo) gave judgment on a proof
tendered on behalf of Mr. Harding, the official manager
of the Bank, in respect of calls made under the Winding-
up Act, on shares held by the bankruct.
The case was reported a few days since, his Honour
rejected the proof, and it was understood that the judg-
ment would be appealed against in order to obtain the
deci*ion of the court above on this highly important
question.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

EAST INDIA.

The annual meeting of this company was held
yesterday at the offices, in Alderman's-Walk,
Bishopsgate-street---Mr„ J. W. Crawford presid-
ing.

-The report, which has already appearel in the
The ,Sun having been taken as read,
The Sun,
said that the line extended over
a distance of 1,100 miles, of which 1211 miles were
already open to traffic, and of the rest the spade
was in the ground over the whole space. The ob-
stacles which arose to the progress of the line were
caused by difficulties in the manufacture of bricks
in sufficient quantity, and also by differences be-
tween :the contractors and the company. In the lat- '
ter case, a law suit which was brought before the
Supreme Court, and afterwards referred to arbitra-
tion, resulted in an award of 20,000/. in favour of the
company (applause). As the construction of rail-
ways in India, however, was better understood, it
was to be expected that much greater progress
would be made. There had been a considerable
increase, both with respect to the conveyance of
goods and passengers, up to the 31st December
last on the line already open. For the fortnight
before that date the traffic had realised 7,0001., and
at that rate, deducting 41 per cent. for manage-
ment, a large balance in ftvour of the company
would be yielded over and above 5 per cent. After
the payment of more than 5 per cent. guaranteed
' interest, there was a sum of 31,0001. available for
payment of interest to the East India Company
The general aspect of the company's affairs being
thus favourable, he thought the matter to bechiefly
attended to was to push on the line already in hand,
and to resist the numerous applications for exten-
sion.

After a short consu'tation the report was adopted,
and the usual resolutions passed.

ST. GEORGE'S HALL.—A concert was given last even-
ing by Mr. M`Gregor Simpson, the eminent Scottish
barmonist, who was well supported on the occasion by
his " brethren of the mystic tie," and other numerous
admirers of his talents, who thronged to the ball of
melody in St. George's-road. Mr. W. G. Ross and
other well-known singers contributed to the entertain-
ments of the evening, in addition to the bencficiare, who
gave several of his celebrated Jacobite songs with great
applause, and introduced his latest composition, "0,
dinna cross the burn, Willie." The performance of his
brother, Mr. Thomas Simpson, piper of the 79th High-
landers, on the national instrument, and the spirit and
agility of Mr. Macbean, who gave the sword dance,
attired in the Highland garb, contributed likewise to the
general satisfaction of the audience.
