To-day a general meeting of proprietors in the Wes company was held at the London Tavern, Mr. J. A. gnat, chairman of the company, in the chair. After the usual formal preliminaries, the following re- I le d was submitted to the meeting : " The directors of the Demerara Railway Company have g ash pleasure in reporting: n i l :he shareholders that the i n & for the six months en • the 30th June again shows sw at gratifying inareue. e passengers carried were 876, against 93,582 in the corresponding period of last per, being an increase of 10,291, while the goods carried g aunted to 22,948 tons against 19,685, being an in- OW of 3,263 tons. The revenue account, as lawn in the annexed statement of the hall-year's sp outs, exhibits a net balance of 7,002/. 195.103. against 5,3311. 17s. Bd. in 1865 ; this amount, added to the ignite mentioned in the last report of 5841. 16s. 10d., pur7,587/.leaving of which the preference dividend eal absorb 4 , 0251., 3,562/. 15a. Bd., out of which lb. directors recommend a dividend on the origin al stock it tie rate of 3 per oent. per annum, carrying forward 15361. 51. Bd. to the current half - ye ar ' s account." The CELAIRILUI, in moving its adoption, wished, before o wing on the ordinary business, to inform the meeting 90 the company had suffered a serious loss in the death dRr. Martin, their able general manager. Mr. Martin died of yellow fever contracted in the over-usiduous die /huge of his duties. Mr. Martin suffered much exposure while superintending the repairs of a bridge which had broken down, and no doubt in this way had sontracted the fever of which he died. The admen read from a Demerara letter a warm aslagium on the deceased, which he (the chairman) frilly imbued, adding his belief that the present prosperous date of the company was generally owing to the exer tions of Mr. Martin in more difficult times. It would be 6h (the chairman's) duty at a later period of the day to sub mit to the meeting a proposal for a support for Mr. Mania's widow and child, such proposal being warmly erased on them by the local board. With respect to the report and accounts, the adoption of which he would next p oo eed to mHavove, there was very little left rea for rn to to ing called attention to the incre ase lathe receipt , which he said was still going on, the chair s= said that the accident to the bridge to which he had already alluded had induced the late manager to com mune a complete revision of the line, and they were yet ID receive the results of the examination. Ile believed that their property was in a most healthy state, and that they might hope for a permanent and steadily increasing dividend. With these observations ho begged to move the adoption of the report and accounts. Sir Jai. CARMICILtiL seconded the motion, and in doing *fully corroborated all that had been said by the chair man as to the merits and claims of the late Mr. Martin. With respect to the property he congratulated the sh..re holders on its satisfactory state as compared with the con dition of some of the most important railways in this scantry. The motions's& carried unanimously, as also & resolution &daring the dividend. The CHAIRMAN next moved a vote of condolence to Mrs Kadin, leaving the allowance that was to he granted to that lady to the future consideration of the board. In answer to a question, The Castaaart said that the opinion of the directors was in favour of giving Mrs. Martin an annuity instead of a lump sum. The latter he feared would be too peat a drain on their finances. What be proposed to give In Martin was 1001. a year. The late Mr. Martin's salary was at his death 1,000/. a year, but they should not to begin with the new manager at that rate. geopose M•eau.k.4 thought 1001. a year a very large annuity. In his opinion 60/. a year would be quite sufficient. He should, however, prefer giving her a lump sum. Mr. CoLEs thought a hundred a year a reasonable sum, sad be would have proposed that amount himself. The giving of this pension to Mrs. Martin would be a great encouragement to future managers. (Hear, hear.) At the suggestion of the CHAIRMAN, Mr. COLEa moved a resolution granting Mrs. Martin an annuity of 1001. a year. Mr. BRAND observed that this was a thin meeting, and that perhaps it would be better to leave the matter for future consideration. Mr. M'Cau.rs said they should be just before they were generous, and reiterated his opposition. Mr. CoLn suggested that the vote should ran "out of the profits of the company." Mr. Baiurri adopted thus view. Mr. M•CALLes thought that some reservation should be made in favour of Mr. Martin's child, in case Mrs. Martin should marry again. (Hear, hear.) The resolution, in the amended form, was carried unani mously. The proceedings terminated with a unanimous vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. WILLs AND BEQUlsra.—The will of the Right Him.

For both rid and white qualities the de- EL mend ruled steady, sad a clearance of the stands was E . effected at the extreme rates of Monday last. K. We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied et. with foreign wheat. Good and fine parcels moved off at freely at full prices, but inferior kinds were inactive, on 111 former terms. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request. at. 10 The few samples of fine barley on offer were disposed 10 of at very full prices. Grinding and distilling sorts were st, a slow inquiry, at late quotations. There was a moderate demand for malt, at about eta- 195. tionary prices. We were well supplied with oats, which moved off freely, et at Monday's advance. io Beanscommanded very little attention at late cnrrene.A. gt The sale for peas was inactive ; nevertheless the quota- to Lions were supported. Flour was held firmly. The top price of town made was Ida. per 2801bs. Seeds were a slow sale, but not cheaper. Cakes com manded rather more attention.

Ozz elbuoz. The funds opened this morning at the last prices of yesterday, but have since improved per cent. upon some moderate purchases. English railway stocks, however, are Hat, and have further declined in some cases. Foreign securities have scarcely varied in price, but arc likewise dull. Mexican Bonds are some what lower, notwithstanding the favourabletenor of the letter (given below) just addressed by the Mexican Minister to Messrs. Baring. United I States 5-20 Bonds have advanced, owing chiefly, it is understood, to investments on German ac count. Agra Bank shares are inquired for, and readily saleable at 31. The amount of business in the Stock Exchange is still limited, partly in con sequence of the bad weather. There is an increased demand for money to-day, as usual on a Friday, but the supply is very large. The disposition to take choice paper at 31 per cent. has somewhat diminished, the more general rate being 4. Short advances are offered in the Stock Exchange at 2to 2 per cent. Consols are quoted 89# to k for money, and 84 to a for the account (Nov. 8). Foreign stocks show no variation of importance, the transactions being very moderate. The only change in the speculative descriptions is a decline of k per cent. in Mexican. Turkish Bonds of 1862 ' are quoted 55 to 56 ; ditto, 1865, 281 to 29 ; Greek, 14 to it ; Spanish Passive, 21k to # ; ditto Certificates, 133 to k ; Italian of 1861, 54k to ; Mexican, 14 to f. United States 5-20 Bonds are in request, and have improved # per cent., viz., to GBl to 1„ but Erie and Illinois Central railway shares are un altered, at 50 to 51 and 781 to 1, respectively. Anglo-American Telegraph shares have recovered 2s. 6d., the present price being 15# to k. Atlantic Telegraph are also inquired for, at 4 9-16 to 11-16. International Financial shares are quoted 11 to 11 dia. ; London Financial, 16 to 14 dia. ; General Credit, 21 to 2,1 ; Credit Foncier, - 4 1 . to C.; dis. ; National Discount, 8 to k prem. ; and Hudson's Bay, 162 to 17. The subjoined communication, with reference to the overdue interest on Mexican bonds, has been received by Messrs. Baring from the Mexican Minister, and has just been posted in the Stock Exchange: (Translation.) Legation de S.M. el Emperador de Mexico, cerca de S. M. Britanica. 2'2, Dover-street, Piccadilly, London, Oct. 13, ISCA. Gentlemen,—l luive received your communication, slated yesterday, relative to an inquiry from various bondholders whether it is in contemplation to distribute the amounts lately sent by the imperial government, as a payment on account of the dividend which became due in July last ; and I have also received the original document !doled by the said bondholders, which I have now the honour to return to you, as yJu request me in your conr munication. In reply to the inquiry made by you, I have the honour to Fay, in order that you may make it known to those who are interested, that the imperial government having stated. on making the remittance of the 600,000 doh., that shortly, during the month of October, other remit tutees would be made until the total required to make the complete payment of the dividend is com pleted, this (distribution) cannot have effect without the aforesaid condition. We must, consequently, await new orders from the government, to whom I write again on the subject under this date. I take this opportunity to renew the assurance of my distinguished consideration. The Minister, (Signed) J. M. Do BAN. To Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co., S. Bishopsgate-street. HALF-PAST THREE o'CioeK. Consols are steady, at 89 to l for money, and 891 to fur the account. No bullion operations have occurred at the Bank. At Paris this morning the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 68fr. 72c., being sc. better. During the last two or three years the pub lic seem to have sought eagerly after high rates of interest, and to have paid little at tention to the question of the security of their investments ; but now all is changed, and, pro vided perfect safety can be obtained, they are content with a very low return. The prudence exercised is indeed excessive, and therefore unlikely to last. Every day exchanges aro being made by frightened investors, even from stocks of a fair average degree of solidity, into others which they regard as doubly secured. The probability is, hov. - ever, that as money becomes more plentiful inves tors will learn better to appreciate the happy me dium between caution and recklessness. Subjoined is a copy of a private telegram, dated Bombay, the 13th inst., and announcing a further movement of 2 per cent. in the exchange against this country : Exchange on London for a first-class bank bill, 0 months night, per rupee, 2s. ; the Calcutta rate for ditto, per rupee, Ls. ; exchange on Calcutta at si g ht, 101 to 101 t ; government 4 per cent. paper, rs. ; ditto 5 per cent. ditto, rs.

Couipanng the above rates with those current on the 24th September (the previous mail day), we find the fol lowing changes : —ln Bombay exchange on London, an ad vance of 2 per cent.: Calcutta ditto ditto, no change Bombay exchange on Calcutta, a decline of per cent.

The weekly return of the Bank of France shows the following changes : Coin and bullion Decrease £630,000 Bills discounted Government deposits lncrease 27.000 Notes in circulation Private deposits Advances Payments for foreign grain have caused a further considerable draught upon the enormous stock of bullion in the French Bank, and have led to a de cided increase in the demand for money. The struggle in the law courts in connexion with the affairs of Overend, Gurney, and Co. (Limited) has undergone a fresh development, as will be seen by the annexed memorandum, furnished on behalf of the Shareholders' Defence Association : In reference to the affairs of Overeod, Gurney, and7Co., an application was this day made to Mr. Hall, the chief clerk to Vice-Chancellor Stuart, by the liquidators, for an order to enforce the payment of the call against twelve shareholders of this company, notwithstanding the order of the Vice-Chancellor to stay the same as against certain shareholders until the 3rd November. Mr. Denton, on behalf of the liquidators, co tenndedhat that the Vice-Chan cellor had left open the right to pursue other shareholders, and the; Chief Clerk !decided that the order as against the twelve must be made, Mr. Lewis stating that he should apply to the Vice-Chancellor, as in the former case, on behalf of such of the twelve who :happened to be members of the defence sasociation, to oppose the drawing up of the order to enforce the payment of the call. It will be gathered from this proceeding, that though (as before stated) two of the shareholders, Mr. Peeke and Mr. Dundas, succeeded some days ago, by taking special action in the court, in pro curing a decision that payment of the 101. call shall not be enforced against them until after the general argument upon the whole case, appointed for the 3rd November, the liquidators hare now, no twithstanding, obt ained such an order enforcing the payment against twelve shareholders whom fire they have arbitrarily selected. As, howevey, of these shareholders happen to be members of the Defence Association, that body will take steps to quash on their behalf the order now obtained. Should they succeed in doing so, the general body of shareholders will probably feel dal leere l l4lA6 l 9 tempted to join the Defence Association,"fri Ater - that they may have the advantage of high legal assistance which they ma be indisposed or unable to pay for individually. Meanwhile, the numerous and conflicting proceedings by which the anxious attention of the shareholders is being ceaselessly harassed afford anotheriexample of the " glorious uncertainty of the law." Common sense would cer tainly suggest that legal proceedings, involving heavy costs, should not be multiplied in numerous indi vidual instances , but that two or three cases, eth bracing all the salient points of difference amongst the shareholders, should be selected, and that upon , them the legal battle, if batt!e there must be, , should be fought out. But the palpitating remains of this great company afford still many a rich morsel, and will probably be fought over by the lawyers to the last gasp. A meeting took place yesterday at the offices of the Imperial Mercantile Credit Association (Limited), to settle the second list of cor.tributories. Mr. Jack son, M.P. ,who was the chairman of the committeeof shareholders, was present, and, on being questioned by some of the contributories, expreasedhis opinions fully with regard to the present position and pro spects of the association. Mr. Jackson recom mended all interested to retain their shares and pay their calls, declaring that he holds the same opinion as he did at the commencement, that no further call will be necessary, and that hereafter it will be found perfectly practicable to form a new company. This view is supported by the fact that the company's liabilities have been reduced from a total of tive millions to about two and a half millions, while the securities and advances stand now, according to the company's hooks ' at upwards of four millions. It is under stood that the liquidators are adjusting the claims with a view to the immediate declaration of a first dividend to the creditors. A meeting of the Oriental Bank Corporation I took place yesterday, when the net profits for the I half-year were stated at 1 11 ,7 23 /., and a di vidend of 11. 10s. per share for that period, or at the rate of 12 per cent. per annum, was declared, leaving, with the balance from the previous six months, 26,861/. to be carried forward. The chairman, Mr. H.G.* Gordon, congratulated the shareholders upon the result of the bank's operations, which, ho added, considering the crisis they had passed through, appeared to hint very satisfactory. They had lost nothing by the Commercial or the Asiatic Bank, and there would be no loss ultimately by ithe Agra Bank. The branches were all in good condition.

The draught upon the government deposits has been largely made up to the Bank by the influx of private de posits, and by the diminution in the advances on private securities ; yet there is a decrease of 117,513/. iu the reserve. The coin and bullion present likewise a decrease of 334,1431., which must have been chiefly caused by withdrawals of coin by the receivers of the dividends, since the import and export transactionsof the week resulted, on balance, in a withdrawal of only about 60,0001. from the Lank. 12,201,426 Decrease 127,617 ENGLAND. 7th and Bth Vie., e. 32, for the r, the 17th day of Oct., lone. , ARTMINT.
