LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 17, 1850.

Rugby and Stamford, were partially opened for traffic on
the Ist of May.
" The line from Coventry to Nuneaton will be opened
for traffic on the Ist September ; and the East and West
India Dock line, in which the Company are interested,
will shortly be opened from Fenchurch-street to Is-
lington.
" The auditors having appended to their report a state-
ment of the expenditure on capital account in the form
ordered by the resolution of the proprietors, the directors
have only to repeat their belief that the credit balance
will, as stated in their previous report, suffice
to cover all the works contemplated in the estimate
submitted to the proprietors at their last meeting. They
think it right, however, to name to the proprietors,
that in reference to the construction of the lines in York-
shire, for which this company are now responsible, there
are some matters the subject of arbitration or legal pro-
cess. The board aro advised, both by the local directors
and by their solicitors, that the claims are altogether
unfounded, but for obvious reasons it is inexpedient to
enter into particulars. _

" Referring to the stock of carriages and waggons
reported to the last meeting as necessary on the opening
of 143 miles of additional railway, the board have rt,-
cnived from the general manager a report and estimate
in detail of the stock necessary for the new lines. The
cost, including shed room, for covering the carriages,
will be 95,0001. This sum will suffice to stock the new
liens, and your directors are prepared to recommend
that any additional stock that may be required by an
increase of traffic shall be provided out of revenue, the
cost being spread over a limited number of years; thus
practically cloiinn; the capital account as respects this
most important branch of the concern.
" The diminished amount paid during the half-year
on capital account has enabled the directors to reduce
considerably the bond debt, and they have availed them-
selves of the state of the money market to renew or re-
place bonds, at the rate of 3i and 3 per cent. There
has been psid off, or renewed, since the 31st December,
1849, 1,188,925/, originally borrowed at 5 per cent.,
leaving the debt at the present date 588,022/. less than
on the Ist January last.
From the statement of the half-year's

accounts it will be seen that the not
proceeds are ...
To which must be added the balance
carried forward from last account

£615,479 18 1

Less, further allowance for renewal of
rails

9,998 2 6

Showing a disposable balance of £605,481 15

"In pursue.nce of the policy adopted by the proprietors
at the last general meeting, the directors recommend a
dividend of 21. 10s. per cent. fur the six months, amount-
ing to 460,7601. 14s. 5d., leaving a balance of 144,7212
Is. 2d. to be carried to the next half•year's account."
The following is the report of the Auditors :

"Having regard to the full statement submitted to the
proprietors at their last meeting, we do not propose on the
present occasion to enter into much detail.

" The annexed report from Mr. Coleman, the public
accountant employed, will show that the principle of a
continuous audit has been acted upon, and that the result
of a minute personal examination of every entry enabl,s
him confidently to affirm the correctness of the results
as submitted to the proprietors.
" The system upon which the accounts of the company
are conducted is simple and efficient, and renders their
examination comparatively easy.
" In accordance with the resolution passed by the pro-
prietors at the last general meeting, we have caused to
be prepared a statement of the disbursements on capital
account to the 30th June, the particulars of which will
be found embodied is the report of the accountant.
"The debenture statement 30:11 June shows a diminu-
tion of 256,0001., as also a very favourable change in the
average rate at which the money stands borrowed.
"In the balance of the 'stores on hand' and • worsts
in progress' there is a further reductton, the actual stock
being tested on the principle of a continuous verification,
and the measures adopted being calculated gradually to
reduce the stock to the lowest amount consistent with
the requirements of the service.
" The system adopted for the repair and the renewal
of the working stock, which we reported at the last halt-
yearly meeting as satisfactory, still continues in opera-
tion. Subsequent inquiry, and personal observation at
our principal locomotive establishments, confirm ❑s in
the opinion we then expressed as to its sufficiency."
Tile following is the Accountant's report :
" Gentlemen,—ln accordance with your instructions I
have during the last six months made a continuous exa•
mination and audit of the accounts of this company, in
the course of which I have carefully checked every item
of receipt and expenditure, and in addition to examining
the general books and documents at Euston station, I
have had an opportunity of testing the system in opera-
tion at Wolverton and Crewe, the principal stores'
depots. The result of the whole has been to fully con-
firm the opinion that I gave in my last detailed report
to you, that the system of account adopted by the board
of directors, and carried out under the responsibility of
the committees, is calculated to secure a correct and effi-
cient control throughout this vast establishment.

"I have also, pu"rstisnt to your instruclions,7repared
and now submit the following ststcxnent of the disburse-
ments on capital account :
STATE IS ENT Of theDISBURSEMENTS on the CAPITAL ACCOUNT,
prepared in reference to the Estimate submitted to the
Proprietors on the 22d of February, 1850.

Mr. WILLIAMS withdrew his motion as an amendment
to the report, but intimated that he would propose it as a
substantial motion.
A SHAREHOLDER wished to know whether any, or
what arrangement had been made with the Scottish
Central Company with regard to the working of the
line ?
The CHAIRMAN replied, that no arrangement bad
been made, and, in the present position of things between
the two companies, he thought it would be premature to
attempt to make any arrangement. They were, how-
ever, quite ready to receive any overtures which might
come from that company.
A SHAREHOLDER wished to know whether the com-
pany had discontinued manufacturing its own locomotive
engines. He understood it would be much cheaper and
moro economical to have them made by contract.
The CHAIRMAN said the number of new engines which
they would now require would be comparatively
limited; but when the old engines became
worn out, the company would make new ones to
supply their place at tneir own shops, and as they had
all the necessary materials for the purpose, it would be
throwing away profit not to employ those materials.
In reply to another Shareholder,
The CHAIRMAN said the Great Western Company had
sole control over the Oxford and Birmingham Railway,
but negotiations were now going on with them with re-
gard to the arrangement of the traffic.
Mr. BRIGHT suggested the propriety of dividing a
further portion of toe profits, which amounted to 69,784/.
Ile said it teas not competent for the directors under the
Act of Parliament to do anything else with that amount
than to divide it rateably among the proprietors. Taking
into account the favourable position of the com-
pany, ho did not think it was unreasonable that
the proprietors shouid expect a large dividend. Ho
concluded by moving an amendment, to the effect that a
dividend at the rate of 2/. 155., instead of 2/. 10s., for the
six months, should be paid to the proprietors.
Mr. OYES seconded the amendment. They had had
very great success during the last half-year, and a most
extraordinary increase, and looking at the prospects of
the next year, and the possible increase of traffic arising
from the Exhibition of 1831, ho thought if they agreed
to the proposition of the lion. Shareholder they would
have an ample balance in hand to meet all contingencies.
He could net understand why so large a balance should
be carried over to the next half-year.—(Hear.)
Mr. BAKER thought the fact of the company being
always able to pay a dividend at the rate of Si. per
cent. increased the confidence of the public in the secu-
rity of their undertaking, and gave a more permanent
value to their property than paying a higher dividend
than was recommended by the directors would do. He
saw no reason for departing from their recommendation,
and it should be recollected ithat the Great Northern
Railway had just been opened, and that the Great Western
Company had now a direct opposition line to Birming•
ham, and the power of resisting that opposition mainly
depended on the directors having an ample available
balance at their disposal.—(Cheers.) He hoped the
sharellolders would follow the advice of the directors in
the present case, because they had always acted for the
general benefit of the company.—(Cheers.)
After some desultory conversation, Mr. Bright
offered to withdraw his amendment; but considerable ob-
jection being urged to such a course, a show of hands
was taken, when the Chairman declared that the num-
bers were so nearly equal, that he would have to ask the
proprietors to take the trouble, of dividing.
Mr. MARK PHILLIPS hoped they would not proceed
to a division. He did not appear there in any other
capacity than as a trustee for a number of proprietors,
but he did not think he should faithfully discharge his
duty if ho urged the directors to divide more than they
felt confident they ought to do consistently with refer-
ence to the general interests and welfare of the company.
Mr. HARDMAN ERLE, one of the directors, supported
the suggestion for an increase of dividend.
The CHAIRMAN then replied to the various observa-
tions which had been made. As to the assertion of Mr.
Bright, that it was not legal to retain and carry over so
largo a surplus, ho said he had taken the best legal
advice on the subject, and he was happy to state that it
rested entirely with the shareholders to determine
whether they should have six or one per cent.,
and to keep any surplus they might think
fir, irrespective of the question of life interest.—(Hear.)
If they carried the proposition for an increased dividend,
they would have to relieve himself and his colleagues of
all odium, in the event of his some day finding it neces-
sary to propose a dividend at 41; per cent.—(Cheers.)
The directors had taken into account every circumstance
connected with the question of dividend, and they
thought the dividend which they now propoed consistent
with the ultimate and present prospects of the company.
The amendment was then put to the meeting and ne-
gativetl, the numbers being—for the amendment 58,
against it 90. The announcement was received with loud
cheers.

Another amendment for increasing the dividend to 31
for the half-year was also pat to a show of hands and lost
by 36 to 113.
The original motion was then carried.
A resolution declaring a dividend at the rate of 21. 10s,
per cent. for the six months was then agreed to.
Auditors wero then appointed to audit the accounts of
the Nuneaton line.

The CHAIRMAN moved that a committee of share-
holders should be appointed to take into consideration
the future management of the affairs of the company,
owing to the amalgamation of several other companies
with this company.
The resolution was passed and a committee appointed
accordingly.
2.1 r. WILLIAms thou proposed his resolution that no
account should be kept with a banker who made any de-
ductions on account a light gold.
A SHAREHOLDER suggested that the best way to get
rid of the light gold was to pay their taxes and lawyers'
Ell with it.

The motion, however, was not seconded, and it accord,
ingly fell to the ground.
A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman
aLd the meeting separated.
