The guarantee insurance fund now amounts to 191,6101.55. 11d. and the depreciation fund to 271,0841. 10s. 3d. The bal ance remaining at the 30th September, ROI, on the pes prietors' underwriting account, amounts to 29,53.11. 31. Id., out of which the directors recommend a payment of IL per old share, and Is. per new share, earlyits the ensuing year, to each proprietor on the number of shares for which ha may be cutitled to the dividend now about to be declared, which, it is estimated, will amount to 20,5001., leaving a balance to the milli of this account of about 9,03e1. A. hi. to be carried to the next year's account. INCREASE OP TIM COMPANY'S FLNITT.—In the re port of the direators, of the 31st of May last, it was inti mated that two screw steamers, of 1,200 tons, and one of I,tloo tons, had been contracted for. The two former are expected to be ready for sea in January next, and the latter may be expected to be handed over to the company in May following. The directors have also to announce, that in order to maintain a regular monthly communisation, or more frequently, if found to be necessary, between Cal cutta and China, they purchased, on the stocks, two screw steam-vessels, of about iOO tons each : the first, the Shanghai, was despatched for her station on the 22nd of October last, and the second, the Chusan, will be despatched about the close of the year, or early in January next Its order to meet the growiug demands of the public on the company's tines of communication between England, Judie, and China, tic., fur inure extended passenger accommodation, and also for an increased rate of speed, the directors have contracted for one of a series of large steamers, which they have named the Himalaya, measuring upwards of 3,000 tons, and to be propelled by engines of 1,200 horses-, power. " LOSS OF THE STEAM SHIP PACHA.—The directors regret to report one casualty to the company's fleet during the last twelve month, in the loss of the steam ship Pacha, in the straits of Malacca, at midnight of the 21st of July last, by collision with the company's steam ship Erin, the former being on her way from China to Calcutta, acid the latter bound from Calcutta to China. " With this exception the directors have much pleasure in reporting to the shareholders that the latest accounts IT mitred from the different agencies and stations of the com pany show their fleet to be in a most efficient state, and their affairs generally in a satisfactory condition. "TRANSIT AND RAILWAY THROUGH EGYPT.—The determination of his Highness the Paella of Egypt to com mence the construction of a railway through that country was adverted to by the direcsirs in their last half-yearly report. Since that period circumstances with which the proprietors have no doubt become acquainted by means of the public pipers have somewhat retarded the actual corn. mencament of this important undertaking ; but they have now the satisfaction to announce that these difficulties have been removed, and that the largo staff of engineers, who were conveyed to Alexandria by the company's September steamer, had at the date of the last &deices entered upon their operations, and that the works will now be earned forward with all possible speed. "The uutgoing directors by rotation, Mr. J. C. Ewart and Cap _lain A. Nairne ; and the auditor., the lion. J. T. Leib Melville and Mr. Raikes Currie, being willing to ileres ergs if re-elected ; and being, under the terms of *a dead, immediately re-eligible, the board cordially re commend these gentlemen to your choice. " The directors now recommend that a dividend of fuur per cent., clear of income tax, for the half-year ending 30th of September last, be declared, sad be payable on and after the 23rd inst. General BRIGGS, in moving the adoption of the report, which, he said, was in itself very satisfactory, complained that the accounts were signed by only one of the auditors, and requested an explanation of that fact. As regarded the screw steamers, he thought their power and velocity bad yet to be pruned to the proprietors, but he presumed that before entering into engagements with regard to them the directors had taken care to satisfy themselves on the sub ject. He was confident that the proposals of the hoard for the new contract would be such as the government would seeept, and that the concern would continue to flourish. Dr. A. BEATTIE, it seconding the motion, said the re port for the year ending the 30th of September last, just handed to them by the directors, and to the accuracy of which, in apecuniary point of view, from a personal exa mination o f the accounts, he was able to testify, showed that the affairs of the company had continued, by madness and careful management, to progress in a very satisfactoey manner. The motion was then adopted. Mr. IiA.DOW proposed Mr. De Salii to fill the mew , / in the direction, observing that that gentleman had had great experience in mercantile matters in Australia, and had shown his qualifications for the office by_ the evidence which he gave before the committee of the House of Com mons on steam communication last session. The motion was carried unanimously. Mr. DE SALIS returned thanks. He said during his residence in Australia he had naturally acquire I some knowledge of its local affairs, as well as its social require ments. At any other period he would gladly niche some remarks with regard to their probable future relations with other parts of the world, but as the matter was then under discussion be thought it desirable not to do so. He be lieved, however, they were all agreed in thinking that the period when they would establish relations with Australia was not far distant. (Hear, hear.) On the motion of /dr. WILLIS, seconded by Mr. WIL LIAMS, the retiring directors were re-elected. Captain NADINE returned thanks for himself and Mr. Ewart. Mr. WILLCOX in proposing that the auditors should be re-elected, stated that the reason why Mr. Melville alone had signed the accounts was that Mr. Carrie was on the continent. The motion having been seconded and agreed to, Mr. MELVILLE returned thanks for himself and Mr. Clinic, and said that the latter gentleman on his return from Italy would gothrough the accounts, and uo doubt append to them his signature. Major HYSLOP moved in accordance with the recom mendation of the board the payment of a dividend of 4 per cent. for the past half-year, and declared his belief that that dividend had been honestly earned. Colonel SANDI'S seconded the motion, which was adopted unanimously. A vote of thanks to the chairman and the directors gene , rally terminated dm proceedings. i IRISH CiiClail MliiiilONs.—Yeaterday a public meeting of the friends of the society for Irish Charch Mis sions to the Roman catholies was held at the Queen's Con cert Room, Useever-square, to adopt measures for extend ' ing its operations.

Powterim. presided, and there were about forty magistrates present. The report of the committee for finance and general pur poses recommended the payment of the coroners accounts as follows :— . 114r. Baker, in respect of 89 inquests, held by him between the 3rd of October and the 13th of November, 281 f. 18s. 9d. Mr. Wekloy, 108, held by him from the 2nd of October to the Bth of November, 4161. 21. 9d ; and Hr. Bedford, for IS inquests, held between the Ist and 31st of October, 641.25. Ithl. The committee reportei: that they had required the coroners to furnish them with further infor mation as to the necessity for holding the itiquests in certain cases set forth in their accounts, and having carefully ex amined the circumstances ' they had resolved to recommend t .e court to disallow the fees in five cases charged for by Mr. Baker, five by Mr.Wakley, and in one case in Mr. Bed ford's account. The report was sdopted, and resolutions passed in ac cordance therewith. VIZ PRISONS. The report of the committee of visiting magistrates of the House of Correction at Culdbath-fields was laid before the court by Mr. Maude, the deputy clerk of the peace. It spoke htghly of the internal state of that prison, and stated that during the past month the daily average num ber of prisoners was 1,180, and that the number of prisoners at the date of the report was 1,142. There was only one prisoner in the Infirmary, and but 30 requiring medical at tention. The report from Westminster Bridewell stated that the number of primness was eiM, and that from the House of Detention gave the total number of prisoners confined in that establishment at 219. The general health in both these prisons was spoken of as highly satisfactory. Several oilicers were recommended to the court tor increase of wages, according to the progressive scale, fur length of se►vice. These reports, after a short diseutsion, were adopted by the court, and orders made seconlingly. Mr. JOSIAH WILSON then, pursuant to notice, pro ceeded "To call the attention of the court to the subject of the progressive increase of the salaries of the warders and officers of the prisons, and if desirable to move lor a com mittee to consider the same." It was a matter that required revision ; and, if the alteration were not to have a retrospective operation, it might be rendered applicable for the future, andheshould move that it be referred to the committee for finance and general purposos to conZder and report thereon. Mr. ROTCII seconded the motion. f.; Mr. W. WILLIAMS, M.P., said he had served on the expenditure committee, whose report had been named, and some of the members of that committee, without dissenting at all from the report when it was laid before the committee, had come down to the court and opposed nearly all the re commendations it contained with regard to economy and the reduction of expenditure, and he was sure that that court would never attend to or carry out any recommendation of any committee for a reduction of expenditure. he court attended to no recommendation for economy—they had violated their own standing orders, and the rules that had been laid down to guide them in these matters, and there- fore he thought, if this question were referred to the com mittee, that committee's decision, if for economy, would be disregarded. Mr. TO WNEND thought, if the public took its views of the court from such statements as that just made, it was no wonder it entertained the opinions just stated by the hun. member. The court always carried out wholesome economy, and that was the sort of economy he supported. (Hear.) Mr. Wilson's motion was carried by a majority of I. On the motion of Mr. ltovcit, 5001. waagrauted for alter ations, at the Guildhall, Westminster. On the motion of Mr. Trummt, the standing orders of the court relating to music and dancing licenses, as altered on the last county day, were re-declared standing orders of the court. The other business was at a formal character. BIRMINGHAM, WOLVERHAMPTON, AND STOUR. VALLEY. A long correspondence on the subject of the open ing of this line has taken place between the London and North Western Railway Company and the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway Company. fhe first letter is dated the 22nd ut Nov., 1851, and emanates from the London and North Western Company, stating that the line was about to be opened, and that in order to prevent any misunderstand ing the directors were advised that the event had happened upon which iglwas provided by the Stour Valley Act of 1847 that the special powers of using the line given to the Shrews bury and Birmingham Company should cease, and the direc tors felt it their duty to act upon that advice. In answer to this the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company on the 24th November gave notice through their solicitors of their intention to run over the Stour Valley line on the let of December, stating that the directors did not consider that the company hail either relinquished or forfeited the right which it obtained to use that railway ; and that the ques tion could be decided in a court of law by consent of both parties, the right in the meantime being conceded without prejudice. Mr. Carter, the solicitor to the London and North Western Company, in reply to the notice from the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company, stated en the 27th of November that the company had been advised that under the agreement made by the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company with the Great Western Company and the other proceedings of the parties the special powers given the company under the Stour Valley Act of 1847 had ceased, and that it was the intention of the company to resist by all lawful means any attempt to exercise those powers. And, in order to afford every reasonable facility for ob taining a speedy decision upon the question at issac, they suggested that the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company should file a bill, and move fur an injunction to restrain the London and North Western Company from pre venting them using the line in the terms of the act, the London and North-Western undertaking to admit that they resist such use, and the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Com pany undertaking to produce the agreements in question, and all other documents affecting the matter. Between the 27th and 211th of November some letters passed between the solicitors on both sides respecting the intention of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company to book passengers and to run over the Stour Valley line with engines and car riages. On the Ist of December the executive committee of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company submitted a proposition to the London and North-Western Company to the effect, "That the exercise of the right of the Shrews bury and Birmingham Railway Company to use the Stout Valley Railway be suspended without prejudice for • month, the London and North Western Company undertak ing forthwith to bring the objection raised by them to that right before the court for adjudication by injunction or otherwise, and to open forthwith and work for public use the Stour Valley Railway between the joint station at Wolverhampton and Birmingham." The Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company undertook, if the lint proposal be not accepted, to suspend in like manner, until after Monday, the Bth inst., the exercise of the same powers under any cir cumstances. On the and of December, Mr. Carter, the solicitor to the London and North Western Company, stated in reference to the course adopted by the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company oa the Ist instant to force a pas sage over the Stour Valley line, that: nothing but the pre sence of the mayor and magistrates and of a body of police prevented them from carrying their threatened violence into execution, and that certain loss of life must have been the result. That before they could run their engines and car riages on the Stour Valley line it was therefore absolutely necessary that the extent of their alleged rights should be ascertained by an appeid-terthe taw. Mr. Roy, the solicitor of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham, in a letter dated the 3rd of December, complains that the solicitor of the London and North Western Company had misrepresented the con duct of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company on theist instant, stating that the latter company had given sufficient notice of their intention to run over the line to enable the London and North Western Company to move the Court of Chancery to restrain them from exercising the right, and that instead of doing so they chose to threaten them (the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company) with violence to case they carried on their traffic from Wolverhampton. tinder the circumstances the company hod no alternative, rather than risk the public safety, but to abstain from car rying on the traffic of the district and to call in the aid of the magistracy and police while they formally asserted their right. Ile concludes by stating that since the London and North Western Company penistia keeping the Stour Valley Railway closed, the Shrewsbury and Birmingham have gone further, and met them with an offer to suspend their right of using the Stour Valley Railway if the London and North Western will carry the public themselves.

Although yesterday the serious aspect of French affairs, communicated by the Daily News, produced no great effect, the influence has been considerable to-day, and the stock markets have suffered in con sequence. The closing prices from the Paris Bourse, which had been kept back yesterday afternoon, have likewise been received, and show a fall of two per cent. Other symptoms of the alarm felt in Paris shown by the considerable rise in the price of gold and gold coin, and of short hills on London, likewise receive attention. The intelligence of the bloodshed in tho streets is looked upon with less uneasiness than the distrust shown by the lead ' ing statesmen and generals of France, who arc evi dently wavering, and refuse to accept the responsi bility of complicity in the violent proceedings of Louis Napoleon. Throughout the City a very deep feeling of alarm has been engendered, and the various markets of the Stock Exchange have all been inundated with sellers, both home and foreign funds, and railway shares, having undergone a further serious deprecia tion. At the comment:mart of business Bais• morning, festerday's closing price, of 973, to 3, for Con could not be maintained. The price opened with an unsteady appearance, at 973 to 3, and, with sales steadily offering, declined to 963 to 97. Within the last half-hour a further fall has taken taken place, and Consols arc now only 963 sellers for money and the settling of Thursday next. Extensive sales have also been made of the other home stocks at a corresponding reduc tion. The following is to-day's official business report : —Three per Cent. Console, 973, 97, 963, 97; ditto, for account, 973, 3,3, 3,1, t. 1; Three per Cent. Reduced, 961, 3,3, 3, 96; New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 97 3,3 , 3,3, 3, 3. Long Annuities, 1460, 6 15-16 ; ditto 30 years, 1860, 71. Bank Stock, 213, 210.. . Exchequer Bills remain at the depressed rate of yesterday, with no great disposition to operate at present. The price rules at 48s. to 51s. prem., and for India Bonds at 58s. to 61s. prem. The foreign stock market of course presents a ge neral fall, and in this department there is a decided disposition to avoid any extensive dealings,the future of European political affairs being so enveloped in doubt It is consequently extremely difficult to give accu rate quotations, but the day's prices may be best gathered from the following list of the entire sales as yet reported, viz.: —Brazilian Old Five per Cents., 92. Dutch Two-and-a-lfalf per Cents., 571; ditto Four per Cent. Certs., 851, 87. Equador Bonds, 3. Mexican Bonds, for account, 16th Dec., 234, /, 23, 1. Peruvian D eferred, 44. Portuguese Five per Cents.

The Board of Trade returns for the month ending the sth Nov. arc issued this morning. As was ex pected, the month's total export figures show a falling off of 130,726/., as compared with last year, which is wholly caused by the decrease in cotton yarn, and therefore by no means militates against the pros perous condition of the manufacturing interests.

A somewhat re-assuring consideration in the midst of the present convulsion is the continued in flux of specie. The Hattie is this morning advised as having arrived at Liverpool, with upwards of a million and-a-half of dollars, or more than 300,0004 in specie from the United States.

The number of miles open in 1851. was 3,8 I 9), and in 1830, 3,765), being an increase of 1131 miles, or 3 per cent. The aggregate average return per mile per week was in 1851, 441. 6s. 51d., and in 1850, 421. 14s. 5d., so that the difference is shown to remain in favour of the present year to the 'est= t of I/. 12s. 01d. per mile. These returns must iggipequetttly be considered decidedly calculated to I engender confidence in the minds of shareholders. The week's extra traffic does not seem to include any large amounts, hut the London and North Western is fat ourably affected by Warwick Races, which were postponed to the week embraced in this return, and by Winslow (Bucks) Great Cattle Fair; and the Eastern Counties receipts will also be found to have been assisted by the great cattle fair at Harlow.

There was but little addition mule this morning to the week's supply of English Wheat, and the foreign arrivals have been small. The trade was hem, at Monday's rates without any great activity. Flour was saleable, at former prices. . • • - Eaglish Barley scarcely sold so well as at the beginning of the week, and foreign was held at Manday's quotations. Supplies of Oats have somewhat increased from our own coast, and a few cargoes have come to hand from abroad; nevertheless the arrivals were only moderate in the aggregate, and no improvement could be established.

A few of the choicest kinds still make 45., but 3s. 10J. more correctly represent the average of best qualities. Many inferior remain unsold. The supply of Sheep is considerable for the time of year ; buyers are scarce, and prices hardly so gond as on Monday last. The supply of Calves is short, which enables us to re tain Monday's quotations in a few instances, but, generally, trade is worse. Front Germany and Holland there are 9.5 Beasts, 1,790 Sheep, and 88 Calves ; France, 30 Sheep; 400 Beasts from the Northern and Midland Counties, and 110 milch Cows front the Home Counties.
