The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders was held at 1 o'elodr, at the London Tavern, Mr. GOODSON in the ehair. The report, which had been previously published in the E.rpresa, Isaias been taken as read, The Cal IMILN moved the adoption of the report and ac counts. He commenced by adverting to the fact that the meeting was, in compliance with the wish of the share holders, convened earlier than had been usual. The report was, he trusted, satisfactory to the proprietors, and showed that the directors had not been unmindful of the interests of the proprietors. In the passengers' department there was scarcely any difference between last half-year and the corresponding period of the Exhibi tion year. He hoped that that branch of traffic would con tinue to increase ; and he grounded that hope partly on the fact that during the last six weelos there had been an increase at the rate of 2,00 f. per week. (Cheers.) There were now ninety engines under construction, and those would enable the board to provide all the accommodation that was re quired by it, extensive district The dividend for the last half-year, namely, 21 per cent. per annum, he considered very favourable under the circumstances. They were still struggling with difficulties ; but he had no doubt they would be surmounted. The deferred permanent way aooonist was a debt which had long hung over the company, and it was now proposed to place that and some other items in the capital account ; thus doing at length what ought to have been done when the amalgamation took place. The aggregate amount which the proprietors would be asked to write off in that way was 130,003/. A large portion of this amount arose, it would be recollected, from the re-construction of the bridges ; it was not all to be regarded as bad debt. He then referred to the vessels employed in the Antwerp and Rotterdam trade ; observing that they had now some excellent reseals, and that three new oats were being built for the passenger traffic. As regarded .the company's bills for the present stenos, he observed that nose of them ware of a very doubtful character. One result of the legislation sought for would, he hoped, be the erection of an excellent station in Wormwood-street, which would greatly add to the traffic. The bills to which he alluded would make the line a much bitter one as a whole than it had been hitherto. In respect to the Great Eastern Northern Junction project, to which the company were to subscribe one half of the capital, be contended that the access which would be thus opened to the north of England would be highly bene ficial to the Great Eastern proprietors. The Eastern Union "A" stock had hers latterly the only dark point in the horizon, and he believed it was now on the point of being brought to a satisfactory settlement. It was arranged that that stock should be commuted at 98. He concluded by acknowledging the great insistence which the company had in a recent emergenny received from the London and North Western Company withgard to it. traffic. Mr. G. SMITH ex his entire confidence in the chairman, whom he wtobe a man of the highest honour —(eheeri()—and likely to prove most useful to the pro prietors. After considerable discussion the report was adopted. WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) THIMIDAT, I72ICART is. 8 ILL : 11 W.

The funds have risen to I per cent., and where any alteration is observable iu the prices of other classes of secnrities, it is in an upward direction, except as regards Metropolitan Railway stock, which has declined. Foreign stocks are generally better, but the great feature in the Stock Exchange is the continued excitement in Mexican Bonds, which have attracted the great bulk of the day's speculative dealings. The rise since yester day afternoon is no less than 2 1 per cent., and a still higher point was attained in the morning. Consols are now quoted 911 to g for money, and 911 to itt for the account (March 8). The official business report is as follows :—Three per Ceut.

There has been great excitement in the market for Mexican Bonds, which have been in most animated demand. This morning transactions took place as high as 421 ; there was then a relapse to 411, and the present quotation -42 to I—is 24 per cent. above that of yesterday afternoon. Turkish Bonds of 1858 are a better, at 71 to 1 ; those of 1862 1 better, at 682 to 694 ; the Consolidge 1 to 1 better, at 484 to 49 ; Spanish Passive 1 better, at 334 to 1 ; and Greek comparatively dull, at 211 to 1.

A fair demand was experienced yesterday at the Bank of England Discount-office, but the general market was rather easier. Little business occurred below 61 to 7 per cent, but an indication of the more hopeful feeling which now prevails with re gard to the prospects of the money market is pre sented in the relatively lower rates-6e to 61 per cent.—quoted for six months bills, as well as in the fact that little of this description of paper is now to be met with iu the market, merchants appa rently preferring, under present circumstances, to get advances upon six months bills from their bankers, instead of offering them for discount. About 57,0001. in gold was sent into the Bank yesterday. This makes the total daring the week 135,0001., while 55,0001, has been withdrawn. The Germania has brought 18,000/. in specie from New York on English account. The biddings for 30,00,000 rupees (300,0001.) in bills on India took place yesterday at the Bank of England. The proportions allotted were :—To Calcutta, 16,00,000 rupees; to Bombay, 12,00,000 rupees ; and to Madras, 2,00,000 rupees. The minimum price declared waa as before, viz., ls. 11 id. per rupee on Calcutta and Madras, and L. Ilid. on Bombay. The applications within the limits amounted to 187 lace (1,870,0001.). Tenders ou Calcutta, at is. 111 d., will receive about 80 per cent. ; on Bombay, at 2s. Ofd., about 21 per cent. ; on adras, at 25., about 63 per cent. ; and all above these prices in full.
