The first general meeting of the shareholders was 1W held at 1 o'clock at the offices, 15, Angel-court, Throg. 100 rnortomstreet ; Mr. WILLIAM GLADS TONE in the chair. 1 I The CHAIRMAN in opening the proceedings observed 6 2 , t " that the meeting was merely a formal and 2$ preliminary one, and the accounts would not be St. presented till March neat. The Turkish government bad St. made great improvements in the elTheeleion. The concession Bt. wee now for 99 years, and the Turkish government gueranteed 7 per cent. for the first 33 years, 6 per cent. for 100 the second, and 5 for the third. As regarded the prospects too of the company, he bad no doubt that the results would be to quite satisfactory, and that the concern would be a St. profitable one both for Turkey and the share- Bt. holders. The progres s of the works reflected great 8 14 credit on the contractors. The earthwork was entirely st. finished, and he fully expected that the line would be 60 ready for opening in October next. St. The SICRETART read the report, the substance of which St St was as follows : " The directors have much pleasure on this, the first occa sion of meeting the shareholders, in presenting their report st upon the progress made in the construction of the railway from Varna to Rustchuk. It is, however, necessary to ex plain that this general meeting is held a t present time in order to comply with an article in the statutes that re quires the fist Renewal meeting to take place within two years from the signing of the above-mentioned statutes by the Turkish government on the 31st December, 1863. It is likewise provided in the statutes that ' general meetings shall be held in March and September, when the adminis tration shall submit a report end present a balance-sheet,' and it is the intention of the directors to comply with this requirement at the meeting which will conse quently be held in March next, when a balance-sheet and statement of accounts will be submitted to the proprietors. The report from Mr. McConilligh, the engineer-in-chief, which is now annexed, contains the most satisfactory account of the state of the milks throughout the whole length of the line of 146 miles, and it leaves no doubt that the railway will be opened for traffic complete, with its stations, wharves, end rolling stock, in October nest ; this is one year sooner than is required by the terms of the con. cession, and the greatest credit is due to the contractors, Messrs. Peto, Betts, end Crampton, and to their represen tative in Turkey, Sir. John Trevor Barkley, for the energy which has been shown from the commencement in over coming all difficulties, and in the execution of the works. As a proof of the forward state of the line and of the ethe sti mation in which the company is held in Turkey, Turkish government have already voluntarily taken steps for the immediate return of the caution money of one million franca, which was required to be deposited eg an earnest that the works would be proceeded with in accor dance with the terms of the concession, and with the condi tions on which the prospectus was issued to the public." On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, the report was adopted. The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. pea 12S} _ - 9.i 67 69 27 29 uoi hue 79 73 104 1014 Se ST 10 11 0 126 12611 6 2 - arn 2 9 ,0 74 lb 11 It 148 160 68 68 112 114 Is 66 72 73 8 9 147 Iva 3 toi lei' 49 61 esos 100. 0 eleAnj 1221 31 I ` - b oa - 141,61 1011 TN 5 _ 1021 311 5 . 103? 102 li -- dts 1 OMIs • 1 dis $ 2Os ▪ die _ . 10.0 400,00 204 20,4 4 3us sa 44 10 9 414 6 4 clis\ 14 44 4 l di. 44, 66 1 611.1 Oossesal l rd.

The demand for money always experienced at the close of the year has now set in. The applica tions at the Bank discount office yesterday were large, including many from the brokers. In the general market the rate for choice bills was firm at 6 per cent., with a strong demand, and a diminished supply of money, owing to withdrawals by bankers and others. From the same cause, combined with preparations for the settlement, m was oney as likewise wanted in the Stock Exchange, where t rate for short loans on government securities was G per cent. To-day and to-morrow a considerable amount will have to be repaid to the Council of iKuN' wr.l 100. c 'US India. There were no gold transactions at the Bank yesterday. As a result of the week's operations, 198,0001. has boon withdrawn for export. The advices from Melbourne mention that the s hipments of gold to England during the month were 347,0001. The crown agents for the colonies invite tenders, to be received on the 9th of January, l for 100,000/. of Mauritius Government Six per Cent. Debentures, being the last instalment of the loan for 400,000!. authorised by an ordinance passed by the Governor in Council on the 30th of May, 1864, and since confirmed by the crown. The principal will be repaid by means of a sinking fund iu thirty years from the date of issue. Five per cent. of the pur chase money must be paid into the Bank of England on the 10th of January, and the balance on the 20th of the same month. The Midland Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 3,1531. over the corresponding week of last year ; the London and North Western an increase of 15,1431. ; the Great Western an increase of 6,0291.; the Great Northern an increase of 5,6561. ; the Great Eastern an increase of 3,2191.; and the Metropolitan an increase of 7351. It appears that the bank referred to in the Cal cutta advice , ' as having been merged in the National Bank of India is the " Indo-Egyptian and London Bank." The terms of the agreement are that, after the Indo•Egyptian Bank has paid all its liabilities, its capital is to be paid over to the National Bank. It is creditable to the National Bank to be in a position to make an absorption of this kind, espe cially considering that it has been in existence only two years. A special general meeting of proprietors of the Union Bank of Australia will lie held on the 15th of January to receive the half-yearly report of the . 11.

The market for the shares of the San Paulo Railway was rendered flat and almost nominal yesterday, and an unfavourable impression occasioned amongst the shareholders generally, by the unexpected a ppearance of an official circular notifying that the directors have resolved to issue 7 per cent. debentures to the extent of 200,0001., to be isaued at 95 per cent., and to be r e p aid at par (100) on the Ist January, 1869. Proof that the company is in urgent need of money is considered to be afforded by the fact that such terms are offered, as well as by the intimation that 50 per cent. of the amount 1 METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. of each bond will be pay able on allotment, and the 1 (THIS DAY.) balance on the 15th January.
