, • -
The halt:yearly meeting of this company was held yes-
terday, at Aadley's Hotel ; Mr. J. C. Cobboll, M.P.,
ohairman of the conpany, in the chair.
_..

The SECRETARY havirig read the advertisement con-
vening the 'meeting, a report was read, Ehowing that the
total net 'income far the past half-year was 51,0871.; and
the debenture interest, and other charges of a like cha-
-'racter, 37,8471. :The report then proceeded
After deducting_the foregoing from your net income
there will remain available for dividend 13,2391. Bg. This
sum will -enable Your directors to declare a dividend
upon the.A stock at the rate of Si per cent. per annum,
being 7s. 6d. per share for the half-year, and of 21. per
cent. per 'annum Upon the B stock, - being ss. per share
for the half-year, leaving 1,250/. 13g. to be carried to
the credit of the next half-year's account. The- above
dividends are double,those declared for the car-respond-
ing half-year of 1855. Your directbra feel, therefore,
thy are justified in _congratulating you upon the steady
and satisfactory improvement which is now taking place
in youraffairs. In the, last report your directors stated
it was their intention to convene a special meeting for
the purpose of arranging for the issue of such of the as-
sets in the possession of the company as were neces-
sary for the discharge of the outstanding liabilities ; the
state of the money market, however, precluded your
directors from carrying out this intention, and left
them no alternative but to make temporary finan-
cial arrangements with reference to the outstand-
ing debts—a mode of procedure that, for a considerable
period, has been adopted, and has been found far pre-
ferable for the ordinary shareholders, to putting out, at
high rates of interest, in perpetuity, or for along period,
the unissued stocks in their possession. • Your directors
will probably call you together some time in the current
half-year for this purpose. It is gratifying to them to
be able to state that the. company are in possession of
ample assets for the discharge of (every outstanding
claitn. Your directors have to report, and they do so
with regret, that 'a new_lioe 'has been projected to run
from Pitsea Station, on the London and Tilbury line, to
Colchester. In'conjunction 'With the Eastern Counties.
Boar.), your directors will offer the most strenuous op-
position to Paillamentary-sanotion being obtained to this
project:" -
- The CHAIRMAN said he trusted the shareholders would
feel that the report which the directors had been enabled
to 1s before them was of a gratifying character, inas-
much as it showed a steady progress, and also contained
the gratifying announcement that for a second time they
had a double dividend, , (Hear.) They bad no reason
to donbt,_from what they
_had seen of the traffic of the
that that progress would continue, and especially
as they were in the fortunate position of having their
working expenses limited to 46 per cent., so that 'any
improvement in the gross traffic of the separate line
would produce a corresponding improvement it their
income. The directors of the Eastern Coi ties Corn-

_ ..Aat the
50 per cent,entailed on them a loss of 11,3201 a year ;
but he did not see bow they could call that a loss,
when it really was that they did not get so much profit
as if their working expenses were lesA. Meanwhile, if they
could not get 54 per cent. profit, they would take 20 per
cent., but they would not call the difference a loss. At
the time they took the Eastern Union they thought
they had got a good bargain, and they ought not to com-
plain if the expense had increased. With regard to their
own report, he would just touch upon one or two facts
in connection with it. The debenture interest this half-
-37'

/ear was 18,2181. On the last occasion he had had the
satisfaction of stating that they had renewed some of
their debentures at four per cent., and others at four-
and-a-half and five per cent., but he was sorry that he
could not report the same of the past half-year, as, owing
to the state of the money-market, they could renew none
at less than five per cent. There was also an increase
in the debentures, as compared with last year, owing to
a number having been issued for land claims. The other
items remained pretty much the same. There was one
of them, however, the rent of the Stour Valley Railway
and Navigation, which they would get rid of in 1861, so
far as it was at present charged exclusively on their net
share of revenue. He then came to the projected Pitsea
line, and be must say a more unwarrantable attack on
established property could not be conceived. Imme-
diately they heard of it the Eastern Union directors
passed a very strong resolution, which they sent to the
Eastern Counties to see if they would join them in any
opposition to it ; and, on the advice of Mr. Bruff, their
talented engineer, it was resolved not only to oppose the line
but to be prepared,if parliament should declare that such an
accommodation was required, to state that they were in a
better position to give it than the proposed company. The
projected line was intended chiefly to form a communi-
cation between the new camp at Colchester, and the
Government arsenals on the banks of the Thames ; but
Mr. Bruff said that, by a short line from Sheufidld, the
Eastern Counties could effect the same communication
at one-third of the cost. At the same time the line was
really not wanted at all, as there was already a commu-
nication by going round by Stratford. (Hear, hear.) It
was said that the proposed line would give greater ac-
commodation to the eastern districts, and that the
public would benefit by reduced fares; but unless it got
the Colchester traffic it could not live, and yet, between
London and Colchester, it was 12 miles longer than the
existing line.
A SHAREHOLDER—There is no traffic between Pitsea
and Colchester.

The CHAlRMAN.—Certainly not. The next subject was
one which be adverted to with regret, and that was the
retirement of Mr. Bruff, the engineer of the Eastern
Counties. What had led to that step he was unable to
say, as no engineer's report had been ir-sued that half-
year, by the Eastern Counties Company ; neither was he
in a position to say whether they could hope to retain
Mr. Bruff as the engineer of their (the Eastern Union)
company. He then came to a most important subject.
The shareholders were, of course, aware of the circum•
stances of the redemption of their preference stock,
namely, that a loan of 200,000/., had been advanced
them by the Eastern Counties Company for that pur-
pose, at the time of the amalgamation. Now, it was
very desirable, for various reasons, to get rid of that
obligation, and therefore the directors would at an early
period call the shareholders together for the purpose of
considering the means of paying that debt to the Eastern
Counties as soon as possible. He concluded by moving
the adoption of the report.
Sir S. BIGNOLD, M.P., seconded the motion.
A SHAREHOLDER asked how it was that the Eastern
Union had been debited with 2,0001. for its share of the
expenses of the agricultural show ?
The CHAIRMAN said the accounts furnished to them by
the Eastern Counties had not at present been sanctioned
by the directors of the Eastern Union.
Mr. SMITH (a shareholder) asked the meaning of the
following paragraph in the auditors' report:—" We have
had before ne reports of the examiners appointed to in-
vestigate the joint traffic accounts, from which it would
appear that objections, involving a considerable sum of
money, have been taken to the accounts rendered by the
Eastern Counties Company. These and unsettled mat-
ters will probably produce a large sum in the shape of
back revenue earnings, which will hereafter have to be
dealt with."

After a few words from one of the shareholders, who
said he thought business would be facilitated, and a sav-
ing effected, by removing the company's office to Lon-
don, the four retiring directors, Messrs. E. S. Cayley,
M.P., John Cobbold, James Grayston, and John George
Hart, were re-elected, as was also Jeremiah Head, Esq.,
the retiring auditor, and the business terminated.
