The Clean Max explained the abeam" of Mr. Conway, by status that be had bees celled from town by a severe do mestic "action. He ennsrstalated the sharelialdera upon the fact that the receipt. of the rear showed an increase Io,ooof. as compared with 18801, while the ripen. ilium had sot increased more than 1,7001. The character of the omnibuses had been greatly improved race the com• memoirist of the undertaking. The mew of expenditure upon capital amount had been oeraiioned by the opening of a large canine factory at Higbbury, which was likely to prom an important and attractive feature in the operations of the company. The cost of manage ment exhibited a relnction of 12,000 f. ; there were also reduction. in the district:hi departments in the item of pro vender. and in fact in almost every item is the acanuits. The only cause of regret was the depute with the Saloon Conimny— it was .till open, and the directors were in the hand of their legal adviser.. The value of the lornpany bad never been sufficiently appreciated ry the public a prejudice had always eziered L;:61114 it ; but con.iilering the vast extent of ronveniesee it coulerral opin the public, and the profitable chameter of 'business, it cortandy ought to he held us more estimation. The greatest evil the direc tor. kirl to contend with was the pilfering of their conduc tors but everything was being dune to diminish it. As reputel the accounts it was out the directors' fault that they were unable to divide four per coat. , the dividend which th e balance of profit and Ices would afford. The late adminiatration hod left them many height,ee ea le e m,s, and since these had to be provided tot. the directors had no alternative but to apply the profit to capital ma'am's. The company lied already divided 24 per cent or ti per cent. per annum sizes it. formatin, and foregoing a divalent today would not be a trry great aserdiec. It would wreagth ea th e stability of the concern, and ..ther l'epiiiptilitit Of far greater nisvnitiale bad met • similar difficulty in the same way, be hoped there would be no objection to follow course recommended by the ilirictom. (Hear, hear) Mr. Towne eecoodeil the motion. Mr. °ILAN asked for I.ollle explanation as to the die. co-peel betweeu the number of shares trued, and the amount a capital received. The ettaULUAIN said the shares issued represented 594.0001., but the suns actually received amounted to b7ti3OOtie., the difference consisting a • loan. That ben would be reduced by the amount of profit earaed last year, and the actual debt wan now 311,0011 f. A inixaniottion wanted to know bow it was that M. Felix Carteret het nut paid the amount which he owed to a Ttie e euni Et an y. klittlie said the amount had been paid in bills which were not yet et maturity. The motes for the adoption of the report was then put and carried unanimously. The CILLII.IIA24 neat moved • resolution declaring that it was inexpedient to make • dividend to-day, awl authorising the director* to apply the balance of peek and loss to capital account, as recommended by the report. The English diracton were unanimously ia favour of this re solution ; but the French directors were opposed to it, and he we informed they had sufficient proxies to defeat it. Mr. TINDAL ATICISNOS appealed to the Preach share holders to forego their oppoution, reminding them that ie Fanned credit was of slow vow* and that no compaay could be carried ot without credit. Now, how could credit net if they did act pay their debts? The more honest nuns was to meet all their liabilities, as proposed by the due:tors ; but Ea ally WY it lioncet, but it was to the interest of the company to take that tuallle, bIICSINIS this bold step of liquidating debts due from capital out of revenue would elevate the company in the eatimaine of the world, and enhance the value of the s.ares. It would also facilitate the et of a bon. aeon pendiarly sinned to competition and carried at with a public always insensible to benefits. (A hough.)

ADVANCE IN THE BANK RATE OF DM- COUNT. Two o'OLocz. The Directors of tho B.nk of England, at their weekly court to-day, have raised the minimum rate of discount from 4 to 411 per cent. The announcement has not canned any further decline in the funds, which are now quoted the same as they closed yesterday. The market is dull in character. Support is derived, however, from the strange flee in the French funds, which this day has made further considerable progress. In some quarters it is suspected that the French government is supporting the Bourse At Paris this morning, wording to Mr. Reuter 's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rented; opened at 69.30, and improved to 69.35, showing a fresh rise of 11 per oent. since yesterday. The Indian Five per Cent. stock of 1869 ie dull, at 1041 to I, for the amount. _ Con;ola are officially marked 94/, 1 f, and for money, and 941 and for the account. The present quotations are 94/ t o for money, and 94 to i for the 11th of April ; India Stock has been dealt in at 2201 ; the Indian Five per Cent. Stock of 1859, at 1 1041 ; and Exchequer Bills, at 16s. prem. The foreign stook market is dull. Turkish stocks remain at yesterday's reduction, the loan of 1854 being quoted 781 to 79, and that of 1858, 601 to 611. The scrip of the New Brazilian Loan has declined to 11 to of dia. Sake are recorded as follows :—Brazilian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1860 (scrip), 1 dis. ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 651 (exchange 126.) ; ditto Four per Cent. Certificates, 1011, 1011 ; Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 971 ; ditto Three per Cents., 1859, 65 ; Spanish New Deferred Three per Cents., 34, 34} ; ditto Passive, 141 ; Turkish Six per Cents., 1854, 79 ; i ditto Six per Ceuta., 1858, 601 ; ditto for ac oount, 611. The securities of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada sustained a considerable fall yesterday, in consequence of the issue of the re ..rt of the London directors, which states that 1, .11,0001. must be raised without delay to pay oft existing liabilities, and to provide for the increase to the rolling stock, and improved accommodation. It is proposed raise this sum by the issue of bonds without inter fering with the existing preferential rights of ilia bondholders of all classes. The half-yearly dividend, due the 10th of April, is advertised upon the Turkish Six per Cent. Loan • of 1854. The amount in sterling of the loan announced by Sweden is 1,400,0001., and not the larpr sum mentioned a day or two ago. Of this thebank of Sweden will take 220,0001., so that the sum yet to be subscribed is 1,180,0001. The only Swedish state loan as yet in ex istence is the one for 1,200,0001. which was concluded in Germany, in a Four-and-a-Half per Cent. stock, in the year 1858. This loan is now quoted on the Hamburg Exchange at 91111 to 97. The Swedish Provincial Mortgage Loan, quoted in the London Stock Exchange list, does not entail any liability on the government of Sweden. billy three gold - ships are known to be now at sea, vu. the Copenhagen, Wellesley, and Suffolk, with an aggregate of 380,0001., the greater portion of which is due. A telegram is daily e however, announcing the sailing from Melbourne for England of additional vessels with gold. The first annual meeting of the Atlantic Royal Mail Steam Navigation Company was held yesterday. The discussion was of a somewhat protracted cha racter. Dissatisfaction is expressed by shareholders at the scale of expenditure shown in the accounts. The directors' report was ultimately adopted. The fortnightly postal service between Galway and the United States, arranged between her Majesty's go vernment and the company, commences in June next.- The annual subsidy to be paid to the com pany is 78,000/. It appears that of the 27,700 L awarded to Mr. Lever for his " interest in the line, concessions, privileges at ports, &c., " he takes ' nearly the whole in fully paid-up sh ares. With regard to the 10,0001. set down as " remuneration to promoters in paid-up shares," and another sum of 13,9012., classed as pre li minary expenses," the directors o bserve that they ' wish to remind the proprietors that they have by this expenditure ob tained a line which is of European and American importance, and which, together with the contracts for the mails, is acknowledged to be of very con siderable value. As evidenoe of this, the directors refer to the large sum offered for the line and con tracts some months since by a firm of great experi ence as steam-ship proprietors." The London end North Western Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 3,901. ; the Great Western, an increase of 1,1211. ; the Great Northern, an increase of 2,7671. ; and the London and South Western, an increase of 868/. Advice's received at Lloyd's mention the loss, on the 44th February, of the Oriental Inland Steam Navigation Company's steamer Indus, between Kurraehee and Clhisree. The crew and barges were saved. We are informed that M. de Salamanca, the Madrid banker, has become joint contractor i o complete the Atlantic and Great Western Railway.
