BAHIA AND SAN FRANCISCO RAILWAY COY- PANY (LIMITED).-(THIS DAY.) The thirteenth ordinary general meeting of the shareholder. wu held at 1 o'clock, at the London twerp ; Yr. JOHN Sian: Et. is the chair. The report, which was published some time before, having been taken an read, The Outings" moved its adoption. He rid the gram receipts from traffic in past years amounted to 2,0001., which added to the 126,0001. received coder the guarantee from the Imperial Brazilian government, made a total of 151,0001. The expenditure amounted to about 50.0001., there rernaird a balance of 101,0001., leaving • dividend at the rate of 5i vie cent. per annum, or 2# per oast. for the half-year. The prospects of the com pany 1141 regarded traffic were favourable. There were proofs that the imperial government and the provincial goverment were earnestly endeavouring to de. velop the traffic of the line, the objection of the provincial government, on the ground of exmielve rates having base removed. He believed that the expendituremight boor/ids rably reduced. (Rear.) An expeediture of 50,0001. a year was manifestly too large ; but the directors were not responsible for it, the retractor having handed over the line as late as January last. He was happy to say that the Secretary, Mr. Wentworth Clay, who had the full confidence of the beard, sad had bad great ex ponents in the working of railways, had consented to go out for the purpose of examining the question of working expenses. He added that the con tractor bad made • claim of between sixty and seventy thousand prods for extra work ; bet the eng ineer in chief Mr. Vignola., was of opinion that all he was really entitled tows. about 15,0001. In reply too questice, The Cu URN AN remarked that the dividend of 2 per cent. for the hal67ear was algal to 115. per chain net. After none discussion the report was adopted, sod a diet &lnd in accordaeoe therewith declared. KOSSUTH AND SHAKESPEARE. TO Till ZDITOt OF TIN muitsha. Sts,—ln speaking of Shakespeare and his world• wide renovro, it deservee to be noticed that Kossuth, the Hungarian patriot, whose splendid orations in the English language excited so much admiration, daclared that he learnt our 'sonnies on wpm, to read and anderutand Stakespears thoroughly.

Two o'CLooi. Business in the stock markets to-day is inactive, and the tone is dull, owing to the unsatisfactory state of the Danish question, combined with the high value of money at the settlement now in course of completion. But although the speculative foreign stocks have been rather more offered to-day, prices is every depart ment of the Stock Exchange continued to show much steadiness. The English funds are dull, at the late reduc tion. There is still a demand for the shares of some of the banks, including Alliance and London Joint Stock. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Routes were quoted 66fr. 53c., being per cent. lower than yesterday. Consols are now quoted 914 to for money, and 91# to for the account (May 5). The official business report is as follows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 915, f ; ditto for account, 915, 4 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 894 ; New Three per Cents., 891, 4, 89, 1 ; Red Sea Telegraph, 201 ; Bank Stock, 238, 239 ; India Five per Cent. Stock, 105, 1041, 1055; Five per Cent. "echoed" rupee paper, 1045 ; Exchequer Bills, March, 6e. dia. ; ditto June, 95., 4s. dia. Foreign stocks are dull ; but little reduction has occurred in prices. Mexican Bonds are i per cent. lower, at 45 tot. Greek are quoted 245 to 4; Spanish Passive, 355 to 36; Confederate, 59 to 61 ; and Turkish Consolides, 52# to #. Transactions are recorded as follows :—Brazilian, 1852, 1858, 1860, 905, 895 ; Colombian Six per Cents., 80 ; Greek, for account, 244, 4, 9 ; ditto Coupons, for account, 114 ; Italian (Maremmana Railway), 741 ; Mexican, 441 ; ditto, for account, 45, 444, 454 ; Russian, 1850, 84 ; ditto 1862, 881 ; Spanish Passive, for account, 35#, 4 ; Turkish, 1858, 68# ; ditto 1862, 715, 3 ; ditto for account, 72 ; ditto, 1001.

International Financial shares are now quoted 61 to 7 prem. ; General Credit, 5/ to 61 prem. ; London Financial, 12 to 13 prem. ; Hudson's Bay, 191 to • Mercantile Credit, 111 to 12 prem. ; Egyptian Trading, 3 to prem. ; Credit Mobilier, n to 41. prem. ; Imperial Financial, 51 to prem. ; Credit Foncier (Great Britain and Ireland), 6 to prem. ; City Offices Company, 11 to prem. ; Fore street Warehouse, 31 to 41 prem. ; International Land Credit Company, 21 to 1 prem. ; Tele graph Construction and Maintenance, 1 to 11 prem. ; Millwall Ironworks, 21 to prem. ; Imperial Bank of China (amended prospectus), 2 to prem. ; Humber Iron Works, 11 to 21 prem. ; and International Contract, 11 to 2 prem. Form o'Coar. Consols are fractionally better, at 911 to I for money, and 91i exactly for the account. No gold transactions are reported at the Bank. The statement from the Continent, that Austria and Prussia have refused the proposal for an ar mistice, is regarded as auguring ill for the result of the pending oonferenoe of the Powers. This view seems to be shared by the speculators on the Paris Bourse. Added to this, the value of money is maintained at a high point, and there has been an exceptional pressure for loans in the Stook Exchange in connexion with the settle ment in shares and foreign stocks. The speculative "account " in many kinds of securities, such as banking, financial, and miscelkneous shares, and some railway stocks, including Metropolitan, proves to be largely overbought, and on shares of the former class rates equal to 20, 30, and 40 per cent, per annum, or even more, have in some in stances been paid. The demand at the Bank of England discount office yesterday showed an increase, but there was no pressure. The general market was moderately active, and, though the supply of money was adequate, good bills were not taken below 7 per cent. I■ the Stock Exchange money was much wanted in connexion with the settlement, but the rates for loans from day to day on English govern ment securities did not exceed 4; to per cent. The subjoined notifications, relating, respec tively, to the debts of Mexico, Venezuela, and New Granada, were forwarded to the Stock Ex change yesterday by Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. : Mexican Divideoda.—Messra. Buie' Brothers and Co. have received by this mail on account of Mexican divi. dends, 27,067.74 dole.

New Granada Debt—Messrs. Baring Brothers and CO. have received by this mail on amount of New Granada dividends. From custom-hoes of itio Bache, 2781. London. April 28, 1864. The City of London, from New York, has brought 164,0001. in specie, being the largest re mittance from that quarter for some time past. Including the 357,0001. by the Shannon, from the West Indies, there is 521,0001. in gold to be dis posed of. The demand for the Continent is not active. The report of the directors of the Trust and Agency Company of Australasia (Limited), to be pre sented at the annual meeting on the 9th May, de scribed a satisfactory increase in the company's income. The net profit on the year has been 4,9271. A dividend of ls. 6d. per share, or 7e per cent. free of income tax, making a total distribu tion on the year of nearly 104 per cent., is recommended. The amount of loans on mortgage, which was 39,2301. on the 31st December, 1862, and 165,6321. at the end of 1863, is now 216,0001. secured upon property valued at upwards of 520,0001. A meeting of the shareholders in the Warrant Banking Company is convened for Wednesday next, for the purpose of confirming resolutions passed at the meeting held on the 14th inst., whereby the name of the company will be changed to that of the Warrant Finance Company. It is the intention of the directors to commence operations so soon as the Board of Trade certificate is obtained, which is expected about the end of the 'first week in May. A special meeting of the West India and Pacific Steamship Company (Limited) is called for the 11th l of May, to confirm the resolutions passed on the 21st inst. The second call of 51. is to be paid by the 26th May. It is at the same time intimated that "the directors do not anticipate that any further calls will be required during the current year." . . . . The first ordinary general meeting of the Brazi lian ►nd Portuguese Bank (Limited) is oonvened for the 24th May. The first ordinary general meeting of the Mediterranean Hotel Company (Limited) is called for the bth of May. The letters of allotment of the Continental Union Gas Company (Limited) were delivered yes terday. We are requested to state that the share list of the British and South American Steam Company will be closed on Thursday next. It is also intimated that the subscription list of the Liverpool, Quebec, and Montreal Steam Ship Company will be closed on Tuesday next. It appears from the African Times that the Com pany of African Merchants are commencing bank ing operations at Sierra Leone. As their capital offers a good security, a banking establishment at Sierra Leone will, it is anticipated, become the centre of the monetary transactions on the West Coast from the Gambia to the Niger. The return of the Bank of England for the week endingWednesday,April 27, compared with that for the previous week, shows the following changes : Circulation issue Circulation active— ...... 20,9813,235 De• rase 186,440 Public deposits 6,217,966 Incises* 430,636 Other deposits Government seearities is banking department 11,022,267 No thaw OthnroecthiUm in blinking department Coin and bullion in both -- departments Raven day and other bale 528,367 Decreeee 2,741 The Rest 1,206,806 1 =case 11,506 Notes in reserve Total reserve (notes k min in banking department) . 6,261,541 Increase 9,914 Owing to the demand for money in commercial circlea, the private deposits have fallen off to the important extent of 1,064,0331., but this movement has been neutralised by the increase in the govern ment deposits and by the decrease in the private securities, the reattlt being that the reserve is almost stationary. The bullion presents a further diminu tion, but not to any important extent. WII OF ZNOLAND.—A• Ac and dtti Vb..
