The forty-eixth half-yearly general meeting of the .hareholders in this company was held at the London Tavern thin day. CICARLIL , MARtiaL, Esq., in the chair, to receive the report of the proceedings of the corporation, and for the dualist of five directors in place of the gentlemen who go uutby rotation. . . Mr. Clasen?, the secretary, read the following statement of the debts and meets of the corporation on 30th June. Imio, and of the net protit auto duriug the half-year then ending, and which is laid before the proprietors by the director, in pursuance of the provisions of the charter : " Delta.

" To the above satisfactory statement the directors have only to add, that their latest advice, from the broaches show that the business was going on prosperously. They, therefore, recommend that out of the net profit reported above, which amounts, after provid ins fur income tax and for load and doubtful debta, to :6%51441. 12, M., a dividend be made .4 7% per cent. for the half Isar ending .10th June, 1/460, heing at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum on the peid.up capital of the corpora tion, which will require 23,0011/., leaving 12,044/. 12a Id. to be added to the reserved fund, which will then amount to w 1,940/. 17s. 9.1." The CHAIIMAY said the report contained all the informa tion he had to give them, and he had nothing to add but to congratulate them on the prosperity of the bank. which bad enabled the directors to recommend a dividend of 5 per cent., and at the same time to make a handsome addition to the reserved fund. It had been inti mated by some of the shareholders that they would have pe , ferred a larger dividend, and a smaller addition to the rev-reed fund, but the directors thought the safest course to pursue was to put then, in a position to provide against any aoidents hereafter. (Hear, hear.) He moved that the report be received and adopted. Mr. WHEELER seconded, and the motion passed tumuli moualy. A resolution, declaring a dividend of S per cent. free of income tax foe the half-year ending dOth June last, was then married : and John Bioxam EN., John Gurney Hoare, Fig. Charles kfarryat, Fou., Thomas Henry Milner, ~ Fey., and William George Flyndman Whisk, R.N., were re-elected directors ; and Yr. T. Daniel Hill, auditor. A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors doled the proceeding.. GRAND raaNa. RAILWAY COMPANY OF CANADA.-(THIS DAY.) A general meeting of the share and bondholders of this company was bald et one o'clock at the Loudon Tavern ; Mr. T. BARING, M.P., in the chair. The report, which hrl ia kirevioualy appeared in the Zrptvas, as having been taken The CHAIRMAN commenced by referring to the circular issued to the shareholders in October, in which the directors said they did not consider it desirable that a meeting should be held until Mr. Roes and Mr. Blackwell, the president and vicepresident in Canada, had arrived in this country. Thom gentlemen were now present. The report gave all the facta which were known to the directors. He would not repeat those facts, but would compare the company @ tion now with its position when the shareholders met in March last. At that meeting authority was given to issue bonds to the amount of 1,500,0001. ; omimilerable time of course elapsed before that decision was milked in caned.. The public subscribed for • very small amount—soarody any money was produced for the company; therefore their position as to money matters was very much the mrne as it was last March, while the wants of the company were more praising than were at'that period. in order to avoid that competition which was so injurious to all parties& convention was entered into last summer by the five leading railway compattie• of Canada, the fulfilot of which would no doubt be attended with good results. Both the local and through traffic of the Grand Trunk Line would probably have been fully equal to the expectations formed had it nut been starved by the want of money. (Hear, hear) The traffic beyond Sarnia had been left unprovided for. The question now was, how the company was to obtain the money required. In his opinion, if any remedy was secured for the existing evils, it could be obtained solely by means of union among the shareholders and ; and a resolution would be submitted for a committee in which both would be fairly represented. Mr. OILIER said, having recently been in Canada, be must may that the cost of some parts of the line was excessive. He should like to know what was the cost of the line from Detroit to Huron fi,WCIIAIKuAY wad it cost 450,c001., sad was GO mile* 1 1r. G tr.. 4 had no hinitatioe, as an engineer, in saying that it ought to have been made for 5,0001. • mile. He believed the rail. of the line generally would not last more than 12 or 15 years. The only cry of the board amidst the difßcul• ties which presented themselves was "Give, give." A SIMAKCIIOLDER would be glad to know whether an sp plicatioa had lately been made to the Canadian government for insistence, and if so, what was the result? (Hear, hear.) Mr. HASTIUDtiS moved " That a select comniinee of six =Orviz., two preference bondholders, two ordinary ders, and two shareholders--he appointed to confer with the directors as regard, sending a commission to CllOAda, and as regards all the affairs of the company." The vital gamin's for them to deal with that day was bow they should male money, and he hoped the disc-union would be confined to that point. (Hear.) Mr. WHlltlllt, in seconding the motion, dwelt on the akeolute necessity cleaning mosey by some means or other for the speedy development of the troffie. Let that object be secured, and be was wannced the company would soon be in an improved position. (Hear, bear.) Let them en deavour to pay their debts, and get the line in good work ing order. (Hear, berm.) At the same time the expenses should be reduced as far as poesible. Mr. Tuoar said before more money was mimed he would like to know what use the judgment crediton iatonded to rush. of their judgment. (Hear, bear.) There should also be • searching inquiry with regard to the chimes of jobbing and extravagance in Canada. (Hear, hear.) The Commis, being urged for • reply to the quisMen rspecting assistance from the Canadian primmest, stated that the had memorialised that government on the subject, and that the government had appointed a commis sion of inquiry, but had made no declaration of an inten tion either to afford or withhold assistance. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Cosrenies complained that the second pre fereoce bondholders were induced to raise money by unfounded representations as to the position aoa means of the company. He referred to a ducttruent hailed by the board in support of this view, expressed hi be lief that the amnion were liable to an action at mom= law, and concluded by moving that one second &Aerators bolder should form pan of the proposed committee. This amendment baying been seconded by MUM DACIA, Mr. HAIITILIDGZ and he would &mead his resolution by proposing that the committee should consist of seven per. sobs, with power to add to their number. Mr. CLAJUI hoped the meeting would pone before taking say step tending further to embarrass the company. The want of mesas of which the chairman complained was is • peat degree the result of a want of coon deuce is the onnogement. (Hear, hear.) He contended that the committee ought to consist solely of shareholders, who were the primary owners of the property. He con chided by bringing forward • resolution in socordusse with this view. ifWhAltril laid. LS • representative of the first bond holders, he thought that all isterasta should be included. The meeting was proceeding wh ear report left, SITTINGBOURNE AND SHEERNESS RAILWAY. (THIS DAT.) This afternoon a special meeting of the proprietors was held at the offices, 51, Kieg Wilham•street, City ; Mr. L tl. Manarn in the chair. A revolution was agreed to authorising the directors to borrow 13,0001., in aooordanoe with the ooropany's (Increase of tnpital) Act, lel4l, on mortgage or bond, at such rates of iatermt, at such timeN and generally in such manner as the director. might deem tit soil determine. This was the unly businees, and the meeting adjourned. Tan CioNDEMNID PRISONE/L TIIIMI.—A petition is io men. of signature to her Majesty the Queen, praying fur a respite of the culprit !fawn' Twigg, the Journeyman bricklayer, of Hil,,t o e, who was coridenated to death at the late Staffordshire swims, for the murder of his wife while is a state of drunkenness. The memorialists ask that his life may be spared on the ground that the deed was nut pre meditated, and that the sentence may be commuted to penal servitude for life. The petition has been got op by the solicitors to whom Twigg's defence was Intrusted. During the past week the prisoner has exhibited the same resignation to his probable fate which has marked his con duct since his ap prehension .

It is reported by telegraph from Paris that the Bank of France, following the lead of the Bank of England, have raised their rate of discount from 4} to 51 per oent. The event appears to have had a bad effect on the Bourse, but is regarded with satisfaction here. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 67fr. 22c., showing a fall of about I per cent. since Monday. The English funds are firm, at yesterday's prices, with little business. The value of other public se rarities is very well supported. As regards British railway stocks, the tendency is to improvement, notwithstanding the languor of business. Consols are officially marked 921 and ex div., for the account. The present quotation is 92 7-16 to 1. The official business report is as follows : —Three per Cents. Reduced, 92, ; New Three per Ceuta., 921, I ; Thirty Years' Annuities, expiring in April, 1885, 161 ; India Five per Cent. stock, 1859, for account, 1011, I, ex div. ; ditto Four per Cent. Debentures, 1858, 96 ; ditto 1859, 96 ; ditto Bonds, 98., sio. die. ; Five per Cent. "en faced" rupee paper, 941 ; ditto Five-and-a-Half per Cent., 1091 ; Exchequer Bills, 3s. die. The foreign stock market is quiet. Turkish Bonds have met with little business. The inane of 1854 is quoted 701 to 711, and that of 1858, 561 to 571. Sales are recorded as follows :—Austrian Five per Ceuta., 45 (exchange, 10E) ; Bra zilian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1860, 86# ; Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 93, ex div. ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents, 1860, 91, 901, ex div. ; Sardinian Five per Cents., for account, 821 ; Spanish New De ferred Three per Conte., for account, 41 ; Turkish Six per Cents., 1854, for account, 711; ditto Six per Cents., 1858, for account, 57/. The steamer Edinburgh, which sailed fur New York to-day, took 106,000/. in specie. There is no doubt that the action of the Bank of England on Monday was intended to a great extent as a measure of defence against the necessities of the Bank of France, who are largely pressed upon for discounts, the proceeds of which go to Italy and elsewhere, in the shape of gold. It is believed that the French Bank will shortly be obliged to make fresh contracts in this market for the supply of bullion. The large arrival announced yesterday is, therefore, the more opportune. The pressure for money was strongly felt in the Stock Exchange yesterday, 54 and 6 per cent. being paid for loans by the dealers in government securi ties. At the latter rate some amounts were bor rowed from the Bank. At Paris, and in most of the other continental markets, yesterday being New Year's-day, was ob served as a holiday. The Magdalena, from Brazil for Southampton, has reached Lisbon, with 27,7261. in specie. Of the 398,0001. by the Seine, from the West Indies, 320,0001. is silver and 78,0001. gold. The Atrsto, for the West Indies, will take only 3,5001. in gold and 9001. in silver. There being no demand for China, the quotation of Mexican dollars continues to decline. Of the limited supply by the Atrato, a portion was sold yesterday at Se. lid. per ounce, being id. below the price obtained on the 18th ult. for that by the Tamar. The shipments of specie by the next Cal cutta and China steamer are expected to show a considerable falling off. Owing to the rise in the value of money here, an almost general improvement occurred yesterday afternoon in the foreign exchanges. The rates are shown below : Amstardass, 3 months, 11.171 to 181 ; ditto 3 days, 11.15 to 16 ; hottnirdam, 3 months, 11.171 to 181 ; Antwerp, 3 months, 215.35 to 40; Hamburg, ma. banoo, 3 months, 13.7 to 1 ; Paris, 3 days' nOt, 25.15 to 25 ; ditto, 3 months, 25.52 e to 7i ; Frankfort-on-thealaine 3 months, 1171 to 118 ; Petersburg (per rouble), 3 mo nt hs, 34# to 1 • Vienna, elf. 80., 3 mouths, 14.90 to 15.10; ditto, 3 months, 14.90 to 15.10 ; Madrid, 3 months, ' 47 1 1 ; Gut* 3 mouths, 491 to 4 • Leghorn, 3 months, 25.75 to 80; Genoa, 3 months, 26.65 to 70 ; Milan, 3 months, 25 . 624 to 71 ; Naples, 3 months, 91 to 40; Palarmo, 3 niontlis, 1191 to 4 ; Molina, 3 months, 1194 to ; Lisbon, 90 days, 524 to 53 ; Oporto, 90 dal', 53 to 4. With the exception of Vienna and Turin, where the rates are comparatively high, the value of money on the Continent remains low. Subjoined are the rates current in the principal cities : Batik. - Market. 34 4 t 044 Hamburg Frankfort Amsterdam Mramela 3 Turin Vienna The American packet brings improved prices for stocks from New York, under date of the 18th ult. Later telegrams, to the 19th, reports fresh improvement, which is attributed to the presumed arrival out of the steamer Atlantic, which left England with 149,4501. in gold on the sth December, when the money market here was calm, at 5 per cent., and Consols were rising. It appears, however, that the exchange at New York remains very dui: to-day's despatches quote it at only 103} to 101 for bankers' bills. Paris Berlin The interest is announced on Grand Russian Railroad shares. The United Kingdom Electric Telegraph Com pany, which is rapidly perfecting its system, has secured the services of Mr. W. Andrews as general manager and secretary. Mr. Andrew.; has been connected with telegraph companies about eight years, at one time as general and commercial manager, and for some years as engineer of the Submarine Company. In the case of the British, Colonial, and Foreign Sugar Company, winding up in the Court of Chancery, a dividend of 5«. in the pound is now payable to the creditors at the offices of Messrs.

The Sourisquois, from Bombay to London, is also telegraphed as being on shore near the same place, "in a bad position." The American ship Golden Star, which has been wrecked on the Irish coast, while on the voyage from Mobile to Liverpool, had on board about 30,000/. worth of ootton. It is notified that the firm of Bruce, Wilkinson, and Co., bill brokers, of Abchurch-lane, has been dissolved, and that the business will be carried on by Mr. J. F. Wilkinson. The Admiralty will receive tenders on the 17th inst. for the supply of 3,000 quarters of wheat. The Irish linen circular of Mews. Crawford, Lindsays, and Faithful', alludes to the probability of a considerable advance in prices in the course of • few months, when the new French Tariff COMM into operation. They observe :—" Already the markets are very firm, and active preparations are making for large shipments of linens and yarns . to France. We may also add that at the present tame both yarns and weavers' wages are touch higher than they were." TUESDAY &EOM Consols, which closed yesterday at 94 to jj, ex div., for the 10th January, opened this morning at the same quotation, and closed at 924 to 4.

After a sudden and sharp thaw, frost set in - again early this morning ; sod it is now very• cold, but with fine clear weather. The supply of English grain and flour this week is par tiracted.cularly short per vessel, but per rail not quite so con- Scotch oats and barley very limited, and no Irish oats whatever. The foreign supplies have almost entirely ceased, only one parcel of wheat having been reported from Rotterdam, one small cargo of Danish barley, and a few bags from Hamburg. Not any oats, end one small parcel of French sacks of lour. The wheat trade to-day is very firm, and in the absence of arrivals, Monday's advance of Is. on both English and foreign is established. Damp and inferior samples of Eng lish very unsaleable. Barley steady at Monday's quotations. Oats very firm, and in some instances rather more money obtained than on Monday. Beene and peas continue unaltered in value. Flour rather dearer again to-day and barrels and sacks L. higher than last week. Norfolk's held at 445. FLoarino CAROOKS.—Nome here.
