LONDON, BRIGHT ON, AND DAY.) SOUTH COAST RAILWAY.-( THIS The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors wan Idd at 1 o'clock, at the Tennis= Hotel, London-bridge ; Yr. LEO SCHUSTER in the chair. The report, which was published ernes' days ego, having been taken as read, The Cumnisalr, moving the adoption of the report and ~,c ooli ta, said he certainly came before the meeting ..tder rather peculiar circumstances. He would conummes at the most interesting point, namely, the reduction of the reve nue in the pea year. That reduction was owing, as am suited in the report, to many circumstances. No ,!, übt a portion of it arose from the reduction of the fares bear)—but he could insure them that that robo t:co before it was dented had the very attentive consider a nof the directors, who acted under such advice as a l,, ar d ought always to take, situated as they were at that N nod. Of course the redaction of fares told on the receipts, s hilit the benefit must be looked for chiefly in the future. is the whole, he believed the reduction was • wise act both ;„, respected self-preservation and future dividends. Every ,niniercial concern mast have periods of difficulty. Finance -clusters had told them that a redaction of taxation most be followed by increased cousumption, and he believed that a similar result might be exerted in their own oar. There we already an increase of 1,113 additional periodical ticket. holders, ranging an increase of 6.0001. in the receipts tundra that heed. The number of pareores in 1863 as compared veh the Exhibition year of 1862 showed an increase of ; though the money receipt. diminished. In the last rear there were 14,304,000 passengers, including the holden' ai periodical tickets, on the line ; while, during t he year 1862, there were 13,600,000, making the co mputation in the same manner. The new branches on the coast also manifested the redolency to development. That Ise was not a commercial, but a pleasure line, and w as much effected by the weather. They lost, owing b a d weather, 5,000/. on the Derby day, and sboat the same amount in the Whitsuntide week. He dated these facts to show that the new tariff was not the only cause of reduced receipts. To the losses ire mentioned should be added 22,0001. for compensation, 'and that 11,000 f. was carried forward to the present half. The reduction was not madeto increase their rename Lot to ware their position, and although they had lost a portion of the revenue in coasequersoe, be was convinced, after 18 years experience of the line, that the reduction ( .4 the tariff would ultimately not only coatribute to their w arity, but also tend to im pro ve their dividend. (Hear, b e ar.) The redaction of dividend was a sore 'abject, but he celled upon the shareholders not to take a narrow view of the matter. They all knew what they bad to encounter at the hands of speculating engineers sad solicitors. They w ere rain threatened with a peat scheme of corepetition. He had no fears as to the result, comiderun the decision of the committee last year, after • long and imtiene investigation ; but it wee necessary to be on the alert The dint measure of their opponents after their de feat was &combination of the Loudon, Chatham and Dover Company with the South Eastern Company to raise their fares 18 per cent. That showed what the public hod to expose from unnecessary competing aompaaiee—(hear, bear)—and be hoped parliament would be wise enough to reject the asw scheme without indicting on the London and Brighton cam. pry the expert, low of time, and anxiety of defending their interests as they did last year. (Cheers.) HS then directed attention to the route of the South London which he said completed all the communisation required on that side of the metropolis, and would be finished by the rod of this year, affording accommodation to a population of half a milhoo. Other arrangements had been made with the Loodoa, Chatham, and Dover Company to secure a more satisfactory working of the suburbia traffic He afterwards explained the London and Brighter scheme for the prone• roe of the company in Feat Sussex, by which the routes to Heiman and Eastbourne are considerably shortened, and mil that it embraced everything that could be required in tba district. Mr. Scow (deputy chairman) seconded the motion. Mr. Rrtc wished to know whether in giving a parliamen tary pledge to make a reduction of feces the board acted r rto Nuto. or in obedience to the suggestions of counsel. He would fur the present assume the latter hypothesis, which he believed was a correct one ; and doiog so he must say he did not view the future with apprehension. What had been done had, he believed. placed the company on a solid basis for the future. (Hear, hear.) The reduction of dividend could not, in reference to ;be parliamentary contests, have come at a more opportune p.n.], their opponents hawing taunted,therowith the payment eta uniform dividend of 6 per cent., as if they had thereby robbed the public. If anything were needed to help them irfore parliament, this temporary reduction would sup ;ly it. (Hear.) :The meeting was proceeding when our report left.] >CO7TISH AUSTRALIAN INVESTMENT COM PANY LLVITED).(THIS DAY.) The half-yearly meeting was held at noon at the lindon Tavern, Mr. W. H. DICKSON in the The report Said that the gross profit realised in the colNir during the half-year sedan; 30th June, 1863, vas 15.9724 41. 4d. ; to which must be added the mu of 781. 15s. 7d., reesirred in London for Interest and milder fees, making • grow profit, for the six months, of 16,0301. 19e. 11d. A comparison of the vcounts with these issued in the last three reports showed that there had been, during the two years ending at the ::.uh June, 1863. • gradual increase is the net profits of the company, those of the half year ending at that date baring reseeded the net profits of the corresponding six months 1.42 by the sum of 1,523/. Is. It would also be satisfactory to the proprietary to be informed that the whole ni such increased profit bad been derived from the ordinary sources of the company's revenue, viz., rents, ''terest sod commissions. The directors proposed a divi dend, payable on Wed ne sd a y, th e 10th d A y of February next, on the ordinary stock of the company, 200,0001., at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, lees income tax, which v.',l require 10,0001., and leave 2611. 9.., to be carried to the credit of the reserved fund. The amount of that fund will be 7,343/. Lie. _ . The CIUHLAN, in moving the adoption of the report, mid be considered the state of the concern very satisfactory. There was now a coesiderablederneed for mousy in queens and if the board eould obtain an adequate supply at '• per cent., there would be 5 per cent. profit on it. There were at the dates of the last accounts, 2,000 sheep and :Vaal heed of cattle in the colony and be bad no doubt that the latter had now increased to 10,000. loxka were going to be ametructed in connexion with tie company's land, and that would cause the land to be tadt upon. The tendency of that was .manifeatly factor.. SHAItrEOLDga thought it desir►ble to lame additional stock before borrowing more money, the borrowed money sow amounting to 60 per cent. of the whole amount em rloved.,_ The Cuant.m.ta said that was a question which had so g.ged the attention of the board for some time, and they h sot yet come to any decision. A large profit, it should he remembered, was made on the money raised by deben tures. No atop would be taken for raising new capital without coureeing or consulting shareholders. The report was adopted unanimously, and a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum declared. The ratifies directors having been re-elected, the pro. embus, terminated. THE WESTMINSTER HOTEL COMPANY (LIMITED).-(THIS DAY.) 'nil , afternoon the thirteenth ordinary general meeting of the above conspany was held at the West/siren Palace hotel, Victoriarreet. The report stated that the gross receipts for the half year ended December 31,1063. have bees 12,9721. lets. Id. ; the expenditure rabies 9,630/. 10s. 9d., and there remains as net profit 3,212/. is. 4d., which, after deducting 731 f. 3s. 2d. interest on debenture boat , 2141. I.oa. 9d., • lees on sale of Madras Railway stock, and also after charging the amount of the respective reserve funds, viz., !41/. ld. will, with the amount carried over after paying the l est dividend, leave to the credit of profit and bin account as available for dividend 2,1721. ld. Out of this amount the board have resolved to recommend • dividend at the rate of 3 per cent, per annum, clear of income-tax, and to carry over to the next half-year the L dance. viz, 2221. 3a. Id. This dividend, added to that bt the previous half year, will make • nett divi. lend of 5j per cent. for the whole year. The accounts show that although there is • decrease is the expenditure, there i% elan a falling off in the receipts to the extent of 5,5161. as compared with the corresponding six months et led December 31, 1 , 261 • this diminution in attributable, in the opi n i on o f th e directors, to the competition to which the hotel is subjected, and also to the general depression in business which has prevailed during the past half-year. rue directors state that the business as at the present tame transacting in the hotel is of so improved a character to justify them in anticipating a return of that pros. I..rity which the company has hitherto enjoyed. The report was adopted. CCRIOCS ROBBERY IN IRELAND.—A robbery, ! which savours more of the daring of Italian brigandage en orelioary Irish affair, has taken place at Rocking.. Ea•ii House, the seat of Lord Lorton. This superb mansion teautifully situated on Lough Key, about two miles from county Roscommon, and is of lonic architecture, ~ th tohl e p or ti co o f s i x c olossus, on each side of which t..r facade is decorated with six other columns of the same b.r. and oe the north is also a colonnade of six logic ions, on the alit is the grand entrance, through an orangery. The grounds, 2.000 acres. tastefully planted, are l"-tr led by drool; walls and thick-set thorn fences, with lr crawl entrance lodges. It is the very last pleas iota :: made for so extensiae a robbery to have taken place. The r have been literally stripped of sheet lead and leaden several toes in weight. Two persons were detected ~ , P en day leisurely driving a cart with 5 cwt. of the Iced in :t. The constabulary found about 2 cwt. more in a pit ' l :4 in the garden, and other pieces concealed in various I.Aces. It appears the greater part of it has been carted way already. No other of the parties implicated have' ...ten detected. _ Nevera.ririzee bave been offered for competition arn,rig the studeuta of the art schools at the South Kee .ogtoo Museum by Mr. Trebel., of Ludpte•hal, for the Lest designs for oomm-nut maim and kemptulirmu door cloth.

DRATH PROM HYDROPHOBIA. (TIM DAY.) This morning Thomas Jones, aged 42 years, formerly a a porter in the service of the Great Northam Railway, who raided in Altna-street, New North .road, expired from the effects of a bite of a mad dog inflicted is November last. The unfortunate man's hand was feafully lacerated, but being immediately dressed by a 'surgeon, keeled rapidly, although many weeks elapsed before the cure appeared complete. On the 21st of Jsnuary the wound was so much better that Jong went to work ; but on the 26th he felt veal unwell and went home. Yesterday be became worse, and in the evening it was es much as four or five men could do to bold him, and the &aprons symp toms of hydrophobia had greatly iocremed. He suffered indescribable agony. In the evening be appeared to be @hiking under the disease, and a little after 2 o'clock this morning, after remaining for a abort time composed, he died. A GIRL FRIGHTENED TO DEATH BY THIEV69.— A very melancholy Instance of death resulting from the effect of sudden terror transpired before Mr. Wa'thew, deputy coroner,last night, at an inquest held at the Weavers' Arms Tavern, Edward-street, Hoek*. epos the body of Jane Howard, aged 15 rem. Mrs. Elizabeth Howard, 7, Edward-terrsee, Hostas, the wife of a type-founder, said that deemed was ber, daeghter, and was in good health up to last Friday evening. A little after 10 o'clock on that night she west out into the back yard to get some water at the tap. She saw one or two men on the roof of the house near the parapet. She shrieked out mach terrified, and she called her brother. He ran out and saw the top of • men's hat as he was making his escape. The deceased west indoors, but she was so terrified that her brother had to go in to her assistance. Willies soon after fetched a police constable, and told him what had been sees. He got eight officers, and they searched the whole block of houses sue fully, but they failed to find anyone. The thieves had got away, as they were no doubt alarmed when they heard de ceased scream out. A robbery must have been in- tended. Deceased was taken seriously ill, and a doctor was sent for, bat she died on the following Monday. Mr. G. Haycock, IL R.C.S., said he was called in to the deceased girl, and found her labouring under the effect produced by sudden terror. On &today she became Mien- I Bible, arid she died the next morning. The immediate mites of death was apoplexy, resulting from the fright she had sustained. The jury returned the following venliot—" That the dammed expired from the mortal effects of apoplexy, caused by extreme fright, sad her said death name by oar adveeters." The proceedings then terminated. ' SHOCKING DEATH OF A DIssENTING The Rev. A. Blackburn, of Todmorden, was killed yesterday (Thursday) soon, while crossing the railway, st Ifutterbole, a little below Esatwood station. He had been to • place higher up, and was returning home. Au express train had just gone down when Mr. Blackburn attempted to make the crossing. It was raining at the time, and he bad his um brella up, which he no held that his face might be protected from the full force of the wind ; he was, therefore, unable to see whether there was anything as the higher side of the line, as the wind blew from that direction. A Ingtege train which had bees "shunted" to allow the express train (12.20) to pass, had just started, sad got about ball speed when the esgise struck Mr. Blackburn's side ; the unfortunate geetlemse quickly seized bold of the buffers, but the next moment he was struck on the fax and ha. The engine was stopped almost immediately after ; indeed, the driver had observed Mr. Blackburn's danger before be war struck, and he whistled and put on the brakes, but he did not appear to hear it. The engine wee • low-tendered one, sad the demised was coeesquently frightfully mangled. His lep were beet sad twisted in many ways, hie face greatly diellignrod,—in feet, he had to be "passed" up. He wee pissed apes a had, and carried by some plate layers to his hoes, which is mar the place. Mr. Blackburn was minister of the Coagregaticinal Chapel, Eastwood. He bad been is the ministry more than forty yease.—Lectle Memory. SHARE LJSTS.-(THIS DAY.) Nero teChoox.

Two o'CLoci. The stock markets to-day are better, the pro spects of foreign politics being regarded more hopefully. A good effect has also been produced by the arrival of a very large mass of specie. The funds have risen per cent., and some of the chief home railway stocks 1. The principal improve ment, however, is in the speculative foreign bonds. This is settling day in shares and foreign stocks. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Renter were quoted 66fr. 35c., being sc. lower than yesterday. Consols are now quoted 94 to # for money, and 90# to for the account (February 4). The official business report is as follows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 90/, 3 ; ditto for account, 901, # ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 901, 1, ; New Three per Cents., 94, 1, ; India Five per Cent. Stock, 1541, #, 104 ; ditto Bonds, par ; and Exchequer Bills, 45., 10s. dia. Foreign stocks have improved. The Confede rate Loan is 1 per cent, better, at 47 to 49 ; Mex ican and Turkish Consolid4s better, at sig to 36/, and 4611t0 1, respectively ; Greek, I) better, at 213 to I ; and Spanish Passive Bonds higher, at 321 to 331. Transac tions are recorded as follows ....Brazilian Old Five per Cents., 101.4 ; Danish, 1864, 93 ; Dutch Certificates, 101/ ; Egyptian, 101 ; Greek, 21 ; ditto, for account, 211, 1 ; ditto Coupons, ; Italian, for account, 671 ; Mexican, 34 ; ditto, for account, 36, 351 ; Peruvian, 1862, for account, 84 ; Portu guese, 1856, dm, 471 ; ditto, for amount, 47# ; Russian, 1862, 88; Spanish Passive, for account, 321, 33, ; ditto Certificates, for account, 131 ; Turkish, 1858, 74 ; ditto, 1862, 671; ditto, for account, 671 ; ditto Guaranteed, 102 ; Vene zuela, 23. International Financial shares are quoted 71 to prem. ; General Credit, 21 to prem.; Lon don Financial, 101 to prem.; Egyptian Trading, 21 to it prem.; Consolidated Dis count Company, 1 dis. to par ; Mauritius Land Credit and Mortgage, to prem. ; Diaoonnt Corporation, 31 to prem. ; Austra_ lien and Eastern Steam, 34 to 1 prem. ; Land Securities, 1 to 11 prem. ; and Mercantile Credit, 31 to 41 prem. The steamer Atrato, from the West Indies, has brought as much as 755,500/. in specie, chiefly silver. Letters from Paris state that the money market has suddenly become easier. The letters from Calcutta state that for loans on government securities, with a margin of 3.) per oent., 25 per cent, per annum interest is offered. The severe pressure for money at Calcutta and Bombay is of course calculated to attract capital from this country for employment at the tempting rates there offered, and this movement will natu rally have some effect upon our financial position. Thus, for instance, the Land Mortgage Bank of India are upon the point of sending out 200,0001. So far, however, as regards our money market, a certain counteracting influence will be exercised by the paralysis of boldness in the great Indian ports. The advice, published this morning show that merchants in India are now prevented from exporting produce by the complete absence of the requisite monetary facilities. There is, in fact, a dead lock in the Indian export trade, and this signifies a certain check to speculation in cotton. The steamer New York has brought 40,0001. in specie from New York for England. At a general board of directors of the Thames and Mersey Marine Insurance Company, held yes terday, it was determined to propose to the share holders at the forthcoming meeting, a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum. We understand that the applications already re oeived from the shareholders in the National Dis count Company for the new shares are largely in excess of the number to be allotted, and that there will, therefore, be none to offer to the public. The Midland Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 5,286/. over last year ; the North Eastern an increase of 4,845/. ; the Lanca shire and Yorkshire an increase of 3,501/. ; and the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire an in crease of 3,132/. A special meeting of the Channel Islands Hotel Company (Limited) is called for the 18th February, at Weymouth, to decide upon the dissolution of the company. The half-yearly meeting of the Midland Railway Company will be held ou the 10th February, at Derby. The directors of the London, Italian, and Adriatic Steam Navigation Company have intimated that, " being desirous of giving, as far as possible, an allotment of shares to every applicant, they are unable for a few days to issue the letters of allot ment." Mr. Philip Vanderbyl, of the firm of Redfern, Alexander, and Co., of Great Winchester-street, has joined the direction of the Financial Corpora tion (Limited). We are requested to mention that the share list of the International Race Course Society will be closed on Saturday, the 30th inst. The half-yearly interest, due the lat February, on the bonds of the Havana and Marianao Railroad Company, is advertised for payment in due course by Messrs. Cavan, Lubbock, and Co. The ship Eastern Empire has been taken up for the conveyance of government emigrants to Ade laide, S.A. The return of the Bank of England for the week ending Wednesday, Jan. 27, compared with that for the previous week, shows the following changes : Circulation issue 47,001,010 Increase (46,520 Circulation active Public depollute 6,337,246 Increase 648,172 Other deposits Government securities in banking department Othersecnrities m banking department Coin and bullion in both departments 13,022,220 Increase 0 1 ,111 Gwen day sod other Lille 588.730 Decrease 29,848 The Rest Notes in reserve Total reserve Motes &coin in banking apartment). 7,383,143 Increase 588,231 These changes are of a more favourable character than those lately presented. The coin and bullion have increased 48,1111., while the addition to the reserve—caused chiefly by the increase in the go vernment deposits, combined with the decrease in the private securities—is as much as 588,2311.

The report was considered of a favourable character. The shaft has now been cleared to the bottom 31 fathoms below the 7.) level. The ends of the shaft are valued at 81. per fathom, and the sinking will be at onommenced on a good lode, and every exertion ado to get down to the 85. The 65 has gone 15 fathoms through a con tinuous course of ore, worth 91. to 121. per fathom; the end still rich, with every prospect of improving, as 15 fathoms a-head of the end there was a rick lode in the 48. The 75 end is now close upon where the 65 came into ore, and here an improre meat may be looked for.

The 10 fms level out of engine shaft on the No. 6 101 ti is in about two fathoms, the lode during the past 6 feet bee greatly improved, both in Mae and character. It is our fully 33 feet wide, beautifully made up of quarts. copper pyrites, carbonite of lime, and occasional spots of lead sad blends, indeed, it is a strong and promising lode, and samples, which are being washed almost dail►, never fad to show gold. In the No. 2 edit level, the lode is still small and poor. Sinee our last we have taken the men from the No. 2 A end back to enlarge the shaft, in order to fix a lift of pumps ; this being done weaken at once commence to send down our pitwork, den, and hope by oar nut we shall be in a position to report this shaft to be resensed slaking, sod as well the water wheel to be at work. le this shaft the lode has shown some very fair sarnelie of gold on being washed. coeseqoantly we are very aazioes put it through to the No. 2 adit le►el.
