It will he observed that the Bonds Payable
account for 7 per cent Bonds, predicated Oh
Camden Branch Stock is SI59,000, against
$4,000 last year. The increase arises from
the issue made in January, 1850, OF $4,000
of these Bonds, of which $4,000 have since
been paid, leaving the addition Of $4,000, as
indicated by the account
The Bills Payable account, was also in
creased in January of last year, from S244,3io

deferred until later period.
As the condition of the road, and the ILL.,
creased number and weight of the trains pass
ing over it, seemed absolutely to demand the
immediate reconstruction, with the new and
heavy rails that had been ordered, all the neces-
sary. preparations had been made to accom-
plish it by the lst Of last month";; but unfortu.
nately the shipments of the iron were delayed
10 the early part Of the year in England, ana
subsequently, when orders were gwen tor Its

necessary to transfer the force to the Nateree

Guilty which the Committee on Proxies labor
