The CHAIRMAN stated that this Special Meeting of the
Shareholders had been celled for the purpose of further
consideration as to the Branch Lines to Leith and Gran-
ton, in obedience to the suggestion of the Shareholders at
their last Half-yearly meeting in July. In regard to the
expected T. affic upon these Branches, the Directors, after
minute and careful inquiry, in August last published the
result thereof in a Prospectus, showing, on the most mo-
derate calculation, a free return of 7 per cent. In order
to check this calculation, the Traffic had been again taken
about a fortnight ago, and the results, with the exception
of the Passenger Traffic, which turned out larger, had
been almost identical with those stated in the Prospectus.
In addition to this, he had to communicate the fact, that
the Traffic upon the Newhaven Line, from 30th June, up
to which time it was calculated in the last Report, down
to 30th Septeniber, a period of only three months,
amounted to no less than 51,300 passengers, being 6300
snore than the number carried on the line for the lets

previous months. Ele further stated that the Drift Mine
throuth the Tunnel would he completed in about a month,
and the Tunnel itself could be f

lied in eighteen mo

thereafter, or sooner, if thought advisable

The following Resolution was then put and carried by
acclamation :

" That as the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Com-
pany have now determined to apply for an extension of
their Line to this Company's Terminus at Market-street;
and as the Subscription for the North British Line, to
terminate at the same point, is rapidly progressing, no
time Should be now lost in proceeding with theßranch Lines
to Leith and Granton : approve of the preliminary steps
taken by the Directors ; instruct them to use every ex-
ertion to obtain the necessary Subscriptions ; and re-
commend the Shareholders generally to assist in this
most desirable object : further, authorize the Directors to
apply to Parliament for power to execute both or either
of the Branches, in the meantime, as may be considered
most expedient." UENRY INGLIS, Chairman.
