HEN tty SMITH, Esq., Chairman of the Board of Directors,
in the Choir. •
The Common Seal of the Company was affixed to the Re-
gister of Proprietors.
The following Report, and Statements of Account annexed,
wee read, and the - suc'ceeding Resolutions were unanimously
agreed to.

ItEPORT,
Birmingham February Bth, 1838,
• Since the last Geberal•Meetin4 of the Proprietors of the Bit._
mingham'and Derby Junction Railway, the object of the Di-
rectors has been to make such arrangements as should ensure
the completion of the works at the earliest possible period, and
thry have the satisfaction of stating that this may be effected
by Midimmmer next year.
-The Contracts, already let, include the whole of the line from
the Junction with the London and Birmingham Railway at
11ampton-in-Arden, to Burton-upon-Trent, (with the exception
of about five miles in the neighbourhood of that town); and
the Contractors are all under engagements to complete the
works by June, 1839.
Toe works on the whole of these Contracts are now in opera-
tion, and their pro;-Hess is such as to leave no doubt in the
minds of the Directors that they may be finished, and the Rail-
way opened;'in the tune specified.
With respect to the remainder of the line up to Derby, the
works on time Contract near that town, which has been already
let, are being satisfactorily proceeded with ;—for the next two
and a half miles, tenders have been made to the Company,
which are now under consideration.
rrs tr,N neio" 6 I qi-nnt are
advertised to be let on the 7th day of March next, and the ne-
cessary steps will be immediately taken for the commencement
of the whole remaining Part of the line, the works on which
are of. su easy construction, as to offer no difficulty to the simul-
taneous completion of the whole.
Before the completion of the works of this line, the whole of the
London and Birmingham Railway will be open, and it does not
appear probable that any other line from the North of England
to London. can be completed by that time. The result, there
fore, will be, that for •a certain time, at least, the whole of the
traffic from London to the North of England, in addition to
that from Birmingham and the West, must pass along the line
of this Railway,,---a consideration which has strongly impressed
the Directors with the expediency of truishing the works .at the
-earliest.-possible period; and they are able also to state their
conviction that from the peculiar advantages, of this Railway,
no future competing line can deprive it of, a large and, profita-
ble portion of the.direct London trade to the North.
In order to realise the important advantages here offered to'
the Proprietors, it, will of course be necessa'ry.that the ..requi-,
site funds be placed at the disposal of the Directors, as the state
orthe works may require..
A Statement of Accounts to the 31st of December last, as
required by the Act of Parliament, is annexed, and,subjoiued
is a Memorandum, showing the Payments on the respective
Calls at the present time, It will appear that the Receipts to
the 31st of December, 1837,.were £h5,611 10s. 6(l.—the Dis-
bursements .1:51,319 ss. 2d.—and the. Balance in hand was
£44,271 Ss. 4d. It will also, be seen that on two hundred and
sixty-three Shares, the Second Call has nut yet been.. paid,:
this default of payment on a large portion of these has wiser)
front disomitesas to the Proprietorship, and the Directors have
thought it their duty to declare the whole forfeited.
