The CHAIRMAN said-Gatlemen, the report sad statement of accounts have been in your bands for several days, and with your permission we will take them as read. The result of the working of the past six months, although not equal to the previous period, should I think, under the circumstanoss, be con- sidered satisfactory. The strikes amongst the Chiness in October last caused considerable foss to the company by preventing it from faing work on French vessels in the waters. The difficulties in couasotion with the new Admiralty Dock moutioned in the report consisted in strengthening the cofferdam, the cost of which

will amount to about $10,000, hut it is now con- tidently expected there will be no farther trothia in narrying out the work. The widening of the dock referred to by me at the last meeting has not been required by the Lords of the Admiralty, and it is expected that one if not two instalments of the Governmost loan and grant will soon ha paid.
