THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 2, 1861. YORTH ST.4FFORDSRIRR RAILWAY. (THIS DAY.) a-- This day the half-yearly meeting of shareholdera was held at the London Tavera, Mr. J. L. Iticaano, la the chair. The been ta report, which had been previously publi s hed, having kes as read, The Cllalltuse, in moving the adoption of the report, said itwas so fel], straightforward, and complete that he had little to add to it. He was sorry that they had not kept up the nominal dividend of 4 per cent., but though they might have thaw that, it was thought better, uniltr the eircumetancre of the lialf.year, instead of forcing the tinancial position of the company to propose a dividend of only per cent. He was happy to tell them that they wer e At peace with all ~ther companies, and he trusted be wochl not have to tell them in future that any of their money had been wasted in litigation or parliamentary con test*. The historyof the North Staffordshire line WWI very much like the history of the other railways of this country, that MA.. to say, when the oneral commerce of the country was prememus the railway was prosperous, and vice UMW Their line was maiuly dependent on the prosperity of the earthenware, iron, and silk branches of commerce. There had been great depression in the theuware trade amt many of the factories were working half time. The iron trade was also depressed, and he did nit see at present much prospect of an immediate revival. The silk trade was, they were well aware, in a very suffering st.,te. Under these circumstance it was not to be wondered at that the dividend had been reduced .) per cent. Ho was, however, by no means se alarmist. He believed that trade would revive, and from its revival no line would derive more advantage than the North Stafford line. He considered that the line woe as valuable as ever, nothwith standing the decrease in dividend, and if it improved, as the directors hoped it would, the shareholders would all parti cipate in the benefit. (lfear, hear.) Mr. Maffei bore testimony to what had been stated by the chairman, viz., the great depression in the pottery trade. It was only surprising to him that the dividend has not beep reduced below .1!, per cent. He wished to know what was the condition of ' (the permanent way. The CHAIRMAN said that the permanent way was in a very satisfactory cooditimi, and they meant to keep it so. (Hear.) He must say, in j ustice to the manager, fewer acciilentaliap. posed on their hue for the last fifteen years than on any other lies in the kingdom of the same eztent (Hear.) The report was then adopted, and a dividend of 3) per emit was declared. The outgoing directors were re-sheeted, arta with the MIA) VOW of thanks to the chairman, the proceedings ter -Masted.

WILCOCKS in the chair. Lettem of *pokey were read from Yr. T. Duecombe, and Gemmel Thompson. The Rev. Mr. Bo:exile moved the first resolution as fol lows:—"That as this, the 2Tth anniversary of the aholitioe of slavery is the British colonies. this meeting would joy. fully ream the satisfaction which it feels no the retrospect of the results which have followed from the Emancipation Act of lit 33, which have desemarated that that act was not cm more of national jusuos thee of mooed policy ; it would alsovegard is the fact that the libenited population have by their amiert triumphantly vindicete.l their capacity for freedom, as well as their right to it, and have demonstraied the mad edventage, as well as the duty sad necemity, of earl umionditiooal emancipation."

I 1 I 0 MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAL) Two o'CLocz. The funds to-day are steady, at the slight advance which took place yesterday. Little business is going forward. There is an entire absence of animation in any department of the Stock Exchange. English railway stocks are rather fiat. Lombardo-Venetian Railway shares, however, have again advanced. The India Loan scrip is firm, at 100} to 1 ; and the Five per cent. stock at 90g to g. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 68fr. loc., showing a fresh improvement of per cent. Consols are officially marked 90,4, 90, and 1 for money, and 904 for the account. The present quota tions are 904 to 1 both for money, and the 7th inst. The official business report is as follows :—Bank Stock, 234 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 901, 90 ; New Three per Cents., 904, 90, ; ludia Five per Cent. stock, 991,, 4 ; ditto for account, 991, ; ditto scrip, 14104 ; ditto Four per Cent.

A fresh advance of 4 per cent. has taken place to-day in the Turkish Loan of 1858, which is now quoted 694 to 4, after being marked 70. The loan of 1854 is slightly better at 791 to 4. Other foreign stocks are very quiet- Sales are recorded as follows :—Danish Three per Cents., 824, 83 ; Dutch Four per Cent. Cer tificates, 100 ; Russian Five per Cents., far ac count, 1024 ; Sardinian Fiveper Cents., foraccount, 794; Turkish Six per Cents., 1868, for account, 691, 70, 69, 1, # ; ditto 1001. Bonds, 72, n ; ditto Guaranteed Four per Cents., 1004 ex div. The reduction in the Bank rate caused but a alight accession of business at the discount office at the Bank yesterday, yet in the open market accommoda tion was not obtainable below 41 to 6 per cent., a somewhat increased demand being experienced. In consequence of the alteration at the Bank, the Joint Stock Banks have reduced the rate allowed for deposits from five to four per cent., except that the London and Westminster allow only three for sums below 600/. The discount establishments will henceforward give four per cent. (instead of four-and-a-half) at call, " and four-and-a-quarter (instead of five) " at notice." In the Stock Exchange yesterday money was again in demand, and the rates for short loans on government securities were 4 to 44 per cent. It is understood that within the last few days some of the insurance offices who have suffered by the great fire have effected realisations of government securities. About 19,0001. in gold was taken to the Bank yes terday. The Etna took on Wednesday only 19,9431. in sie for New York, the exchant,e having risen to 1074. The Nova Sootian, for Quebec, sailed yester day with 26,2681. The Seine will leave for the West Indies to-day with 9,7001. in gold and 4,600/. in silver. The Victoria Rahway debentures will be deliver able to the subscribers on the 16th inst., when the whole amount—say 1,000,0001.—wi1l have to be paid up. An instalment of 20 per cent. is also due on the Indian Loan on the 20th inst., but a large proportion of it has been paid in advance. In the Liverpool cotton market yesterday pr►ces were firm, but the sales were limited to 6,000 bales. The pressure put upon the government with re gard to the stoppage of the bi-monthly China mail has resulted successfully, it having just been ar ranged that the suspended service shall be recom- I menoed on the 20th inst., via Southampton, and on the 26th, via Marseilles. The mail will in future, therefore, be despatched at the old dates, viz., on the 4th and 20th of each month via Southampton, and on the 10th and 26th via Marseilles. The rate of postage will be increased from 6d. to Is. per half ounce, and this rate will also apply between China and Australia. A " large and valuable collection of mounted diamonds,' despatched from the royal palaces at Constantinople, is advertised for sale on the Bth and Bth inst. in London. - _ The Mercantile Fire Insurance Company is an nounced, with a board of which it may truly be said that it is exceeded in strength by none brought forward for some years past. The capital is be 2,000,0001., in 80,000 shares of 251. each, of which it is proposed to call up 400,0001., or Si. per share. The large increase in the rate charged by the old offices has of course contributed to the formation of this undertaking. It is provided that "in every policy issued by tins company, the liability of the shareholders will be exprmly limited to the amount unpaid on the shares held at the time a claim is made on such policy." The project has been received with great favour, and the shares are already quoted 1 to II prem. in the Stock Exchange. Other projects of a similar character are in course of formation, but the public will see the wisdom of withholding support from such as cannot show names of a high class. One important undertak ing, representing the colonial, corn, wine and spirit interests, has yet, it is said, to be brought forward. It remains at present in abeyance, pending the decision of the old companies with regard to a modification of their new tariff. The com mittee appointed at the Mansiou-house meeting on the 25th ult. will meet on Monday next, to consider their future proceedings. Should this project be ultimately organised, the amount of capital will he very large, with a view to secure complete independence of action, and an impor tant proportion of it will probably be placed amongst the various interests before the prospectus is launched. _ _ . The Eastern Counties Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 573/. ; the Man chester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, an increase of 37/. ; the Lancashire and Yorkshire, a de crease of 2,8421. ; the Midland, an increase of 92/. ; and the North Eastern, an increase of 1,1471. We are informed that Sir Charles Wood has agreed to the interpretation of the terms conceded to the East India Irrigation and Canal Company, as claimed by them, and that the contract altered in accordance with Lord Canning's views has been sent to India for execution by his lordship. This result is satisfactory, and will tend much to promote the execution of necessary public works in India. The first meeting of the company will be held on the 15th inst. At the meeting yesterday of the City of London Brewery (Calvert's) Company a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum for the half-year, on both the ordinary and preference shares, was de clared. The half-yearly meeting of the Salisbury and Yeovil Railway Company is called for the 16th instant. A call of V. is to be paid on the shares in the United Kingdom Electric Telegraph Company by the 22nd August. The certificates for shares in the China and Japan Steam Navigation Company are now ready for delivery in exchange for the bankers' receipts. The position of the market for American securi ties is noticed as follows by Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Co. : The market for American securities during the post week has been very firm, but so small has been the amount of actual business that prices remain without material altera tion. The return of the Bank of England for the week ending Wednesday, July 31, compared with that for the previous week, shows the following changes Circulation issue Circulation active Public deposits 3,701,952 Diserease 421,508 Other deposits Government securities is banking department Other securities in banking department Ooin and bullion in both departments 12,196,708 Increase 476,618 , 10.00' Seven day and other bills 700,182 Increase 73,6516 The Reat ......... ..... ..- Notes in reserve Total reserve (notes& oohs) in banking department 6,548.768 Increase 321,40 Neither in the ballot] nor in the reserve is the increase so large as had been expected.

A corre spondent of the Saginaw writing from Anstruther rays the 'Lammas fishing has now fairly commenced here, but, so far as it has yet gone, with limited success. During last week, the weather beiegfavouratle, a number of our boats were at sea each night, but the shots obtained were in general light, though the fish were large and of first-rate quality. High prime were consequently got for them, ranging trim 30s. to 36.. per one. On Saturday, the highest boat had twenty-four cram, but in general a very light fishing, while many boats returned clean. To-day (Tuesday) has been the most successful this season, about seventy boats having reformed with about an average of three mans ; prier from 33a. to 38.. A another of our haste are still fishing at Stooehaven and Gkiriloo ; consequently the full complement of boats for this district, about 250, will not be all at work here till next week.
