RAILWAY MATTERS.
HaIf-Yeariy Meeting of the st. john *
Nzaine.

At the hali-yearly meeting OF this company
in London, on the 11,h inst, the chairman said
"the business Of the company was now con-
fined almost to the receiving OF the rental and
the distribution Of it amongst the sharehold-
ers, and he thought that he might fairly con-
gratulate them that that was the case, for
under the new arrangements the amount of
tae helf-yeaI's receipts showed a gain Of So
345 over the corresponding ak months Of last
year, and of S575 in excess of the fixed rental.
Looking to the condition Of thingstin Canada
and in New Bruins wick in particu-
lar duriog the past year he thought
that the result was satisfactory, par
ticularly that if they had been work
ing on their own account, a considerable part,
If not the whole Of the net rental would have
had to have been spent on necessary repairs
and improvement OF the line, which was now
done by the New Brunswick Company, who
relaid the line with 5000 tons of steel rails
during the year. Improvements have also been
made to the track and bridges, and So
900 new sleepers had been placed down.
The opening of the st. John bridge, expected
in the early part Of the ensuing year, would, it
was believed, largely increase the traffic of the
line. Tba New Brunswick Company had, he
thought done better than any other Canadian
fine during the last six months The Carleton
Brasch Railway was also doing we'll" A
dividend Of per cent was declared.
