Esq. (Davidson and Co.), 2, _ Walbrook. Secretary—E. J. Cole, Esq Among the most important of the resources of Turkey and the Levant may be ranked their,mineral productions. Extensive mines of coal, iron, chroniate of iron, lead, coppers, and other minerals are known to exist, the w..rking of which, if prudently conducted, catt not fail to promote the commercial relations between England and the East of Europe, and to produce highly satisfactory results to those investing their capital in the undertaking. For the purpose of developing these resources it is proposed to form a company under the Joint-Stock Company's Act, 1856, limit ing the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their subscrip tions. It has been considered desirable that the operations of the com pany shleld be gradual, commencing with undertakings which pre vious experience has demonstrated as offering a safe investment With highly remunerative results. With this view the promoters have made provisional agreements with parties enjoying exclusive privileges, conceded by the Sultan and the Greek Government, for the supply of emery stone, an article Of known importance and increasing consumption. Under the Sul tan's Firman the Company will hive the privilege of working the Mines at Scalanova in Asia Minor, and, under contract with the Greek Government, those at Naxos, as well as in all other parts of the Empire awl Kingdom. The annual consumption of Emery stone in Europe was calculated two years since at 3,060 tons. Recent investigations, by persons in timate with the trade, have, however led to the conclusion that the above is an under estimate ; and, looking to the increased manufac ture and use of plate glass, rnachin , ry, steel, and other substances, for the polishing of which Emery stone is necessary, the demand may reasonably be expected largely to increase. In order to simplify t•le operations of the proposed Company as much as possible, the Promoters have made a further provisional ar rangement with competent parties to extra.A the Emery stone from the mines, and deliver, at fixed prices, such quantity as the Company may desire at Smyrna, where it will be handed over to the Company's agent for shipment to Europe, or elsewhere. The Provisional Directors have had elaborate details submitted to their consideration based upon the existing demand and supply of Emery, and having carefully investigated the subject, aided by gen tlemen practically acquainted with the trade, they have satisfied themselves of the soundness of the proposed undertaking, and the prospect which it holds out of very profitable returns for the capital Invested. 'I hese details will be oubmitted, on application at the Offices, to any parties desiring to take a substantial interest in the undertaking, and fully warrant the provisional directors in sating that frem this source alone dividends at the rate of 10 per cent. may be calculated upon, even for the first twelve months, with progres sive increase in future years. No increase of ca led-up capital, beyond the 41. per share payable Upon allotment, will be made, except with the concurrence of the shareholders at a general meeting convened for the purpose of con sidering whether the operations of the company shah be enlar;ed.

The wealth and energies of tke United Kingdom are, in other chan nels, rapidly developing our great industrial resources, but our fisheries remain in the same state in which they were two centuries ago. Our increasing population requires that every means that art and science can devise should be adopted, in order to procure the necessaries of life as abundantly and cheaply as possible ; but, though it is well known that the seas which surround the British Isles teem with abundance of fish, yet the supply of that article of • food is always uncertain, and its price, generally high, is often ex- The isritish Fisheries, if conducted on a proper system, and on a scale of sufficient magnitude, are capable of yielding an abundant supply of wholesome food. There is no branch of our national in dustry to which steam-power can be more advantageously and pro fitably applied. Fishing banks as yet untouched, because they could not be reached by the present sailing craft employed in the trade, may, by means of steam power, be made available for a vastly increased and more regular supply of fish. Hitherto our fisheries have been prosecuted only by the coast fisherman in sailing vessels at particular seasons ; and the principal part of the fish caught has been cured for exp irt, or sent to London, . where the demand may be said to be almost unlimited. By the adoption of steam power, the regular and daily supply of this article of food, in the freshest state, would be extended to the principal ports in the United Kingdom, to be thence conveyed by rail to the cities and towns of the interior. It is admitted by the trade that the quantity of fish is not half of that which might be sold, provided the supply were regular. it is, therefore, proposed to establish the British Steam Fisheries Com pany. tor the purpose of combining capital with skill, and, by means of welled steam vessels, to develope in a manner that has never teen attempted before the inexhaustiple resources of the sea, and to con vey the fish caught or purchased with speed and regularity to tke best markets. As a commercial enterprise this company presents undoubted ad vantages; and, while it will give constant employment to a great many seamen and boys, in addition to those already engaged in the trade, it is calculated that it will, atter defraying every expense, se cure to the shareholders a return of from 20 to 25 per cent. on the capital expended. The Dir ctors propose to commence with a capital of 100,0011/., in Shares of 10/. each (with power to increase), and to place steamers at the different ports on the coasts of England and Scotland, nearest to the fishing banks in the North Sea, and afterwards to extend the operations of the company to ioreign fisheries, as the success of the undertaking may justify. All sales of fish being for cash, a dividend can be paid quarterly. Applications for shares to be made in the annexed form, addressed to the Di ectors of the British Steam Fisheries Company (limited), at their offices, County-chambers, 14, Cornhill, London ; or to the brokers of the compiaty, Walter G. Taunton, Esq , 26, Birchin-laue, London; and Messrs. Alan and Dunlop, St. Andrew's-square, Edinburgh. The deposit of It. per share is to be paid to the bankers, or at the offices of the company upon allotment, for which a voucher will be given. Form of Application for Shares.

We have thought it might serve to show the ready, and in many cases spoe taeeous, liberality with which the first circular notice of the executive committee has been received by possessors of art-treasures of both sexes and all classes, far and near, from all pat t 4 of he kingdom— to print the substance of the earlier communications re ceived by the committee, not culled fr ,m the made of such documents already accumulated, but taken as they came, in the order of dates ; the dates, however, being omitted, as having really no practical impr.rtance. What we desire to make manifest is the spirit which pervades the writers, the general desire-to-be of use, and to con tribute all or any of the works of art p issessed which may be deemed by the committee, or by competent gen tlemen on their behaT, desirable to be added to the collec tive art-treasures of the exhibition. The Earl of Ellesmere, whilst out yachting, wrote to the chairman, enumerating from recollection the follow. ing pictures, which his lordship places at the disposal of the committee. 1. Guido 2. Jan Steen The Village School. 3. Wouvermans 4. Andrea di Salerno Three Saints. 5. Terburg 6. Maas Girl Sewing. 7. Hogarth ............. s „ A small portrait. 8. Mozzolini di Ferrara. 9. Van Dyck 11. Guerciuo Dead Christ. 11. Guercino 12. Ruysdael Small landscape. All these, we need scarcely sa.f are good pictures, and most of them of the - first-class in their respective schools. The Duke of Manchester expresses himself anxious to assist in the object as far as possible; and invites a se lection from his pictures at Kimbolton Castle, Hunting donshire. In a subsequent communication, his grace states that two reasons have prompted him—first, his regret that good pictures by the old masters should be constantly hidden in the country from the public view ; and, secondly, from a strong sympathy with so impor tant a city, whose name he bears. Sir Philip Malpas de Grey-Egerton, M.P., of Oulton Park, Cheshire, states that he shall be most happy to contribute anything he possesses that may be thought worthy of a place in the proposed art exhibition in Man chester. William Tite, Esq., M.P., writes that he shall be happy to promote the objects of the co mm itt ee by ever y means in his power, by contributions both from his own collection and those of others over uh nn he may have influence.

Mr. George CornaaU Legb, M.P. (North Cheshire), states that he shall be most happy if he can contribute anything to the object of the exhibition. Any pictures, statues, or other works of art, at High Legh, or at his town residence, shall be contributed if thought worthy. The Earl of Clarendon states that he wishes all success to the objects of the committee, and will be most happy if at any time he can assist them in their undertaking. The Bishop of Ripon says he shall be happy to contri bute any works of art in his possession which the com mittee may deem worthy. Mr. William E wart, M.P., places at the committee's disposal an excellent portrait, by Sir Thomas Lawrence, of his relative, the late Mr. George Augustus Lee—a gentleman of considerable talent, and long connected with Manchester—well known as a partner in the firm of Phillips and Lee, Salfurti, and the first introducer of gas into a cotton mill in Manchester, as well as into a private residence.

George Henry Money, E3q., offers two beautiful cabinet pictures, one by Albert Durer, and the other by Swanevelt ; and also a fine picture by Buckner (none of which have ever been exhibited), if the committee shocid deem them worthy. Win. Rayner Wood, Esq., of Singleton Lodge, Man chester, offers a head of Christ, by Guido, and alsd a Teniers, regarded as a good specimen of that master, if thought desirable for the exhibition. Lord Wharncliffe offers four pictures by Sir Joshua Reynolds—one considered extremely valuable, being a full length portrait of the Earl of Bute, Prim e Minister to George III.; and others, smaller, are portraits of the same nobleman and of Lord Mountstuart, his son, and the Earl of Liverpool. His lordship mention.; family portraits by Sir Peter Lely and Sir Godfrey Kneller, but is not aware whether any of these would be deemed worthy of a place in the exhibition. Bishop Spencer, of Ede Moor, near Ruthin, will readily place a few articles of va'ue and interest at the disposal of the committee. Mr. W. L. Bryant, of the Gallery of Art, St. James's street, Piccadilly, London, will have great pleasure in contributing several objects of art in his possession, if considered worthy of exhibition. Francis Horsley Robinson, Esq., of the Falls, Lion dago, Coleford, wishing every success to an exhibition so honourable to Manchester, and which he hopes may be equally so to the country at large, offers a view of the bazaar and chief street of Bakshi-Serai in the Crimea, in distemper, by Signor Carlo Bossoll, whose drawings from scenes in the Crimea are well known. Lord Willoughby de Eresby will have much plea - sure in contributing to the Exhibition of Art Treasures in Manchester. The Rev. F. 0. Morris, of Nunburnholme Rectory, Hayton, Yorkshire, offers two fine portraits— one of his grandfather, Colonel Roger Morris, who was wounded in Braddock's expedition, painted by Copley, the father of Lord Lyndhurst ; and the other of the colonel's lady, Mary Philipse (who refused the hand of Washington), by Sir Benjamin West, President of the Royal Academy.

John Reid, EQq., of Baker-street, Portman-square, London, places two or three pictures at the disposal of the committee. "The varied nature of these offers cf works of art (,speckelly of two or three pictures only) may serve to encourage others who, because they have not large col lections, may hitherto have been unwilling to come for ward with an offer of one or two paintings, however rarcoor valuable. Of couree, all offers are subject to the selection and spproval of the executive committee, who )ntinue to receive numerous letters, expressive of the strongest feelings of a pproval bf the o bj ec t, an d o f a desire on the part of the respective writers to promote that object by every means within their power.—Mare ellester Guardian of yesterday. SINGULAR ACCIDENT AND ESCAPE.—A remarkable accident lately took place at Harrington. A boy, about five years old, fell into the stream ; the waters were swol len by the heavy rains to the bulk of a river, and the child was borne along until he was washed over a sluice with a fall of 20 feet. Sonic people tried to rescue him ere he approached the culvert or tunnel through which the stream passes for some 200 or 300 yar d s, un d er t h e houses, road, and railway bridge; but they could not succeed. Away into the dark recess he rolled, and dis appeared with the stream. He was now given up for lost ; but no 1 he emerged on the further side of the bridge, in the harbour, was borne f ur th er on, an d at length, just when on the point of being carried out to sea, turned up his little arms, and was caught by some labourers working near the spot. lie was carried, in sensible, to a surgery, had there every attention paid to him, and was then taken home. He slept all IP xt day, and on Wednesday appeared nothing the worse for his misadventure, excepting some bruises received in the course of his subterranean voyage, TVcstinoreland Gazette. CAPTURE OF A WHALE.—OR Saturday morning, as a Findochty crew, fishing at Broaclhaven, were in the act of hauling their nets, they discovered entangled in the drift a live whale, 30 feet in length. Casting a rope round its tail, the crew towed the monster ashore at the stern of their boat ; hut by the time they had reached the land it had died from exhaustion and the injuries it had received in its struggle among the nets,—.lAn o'Groat Journal.

This offi• cer has well deserved h;s rank, and we have witnessed for many years the indefatigable exertions of the now Commander Fenwick in drilling and bringing to perfec tion the boys placed under his charge. Their efficiency has been severely tested, and to the honour of their com manding-officer they have proved themselves worthy his tuition. Yesterday morning a draught of convalescent Crimean invalids, to the number of 50 non-commissioned officers and men, from various regiments, left the Invalid depot, St. ISary's Barracks, Chatham, to join their respective depots in Ireland.

The particu'are of the loss of the ship Western Bride are from the pen of Mr. Arthur Newsen, a passenger :-- " The Wetern Bride left the Chinch% Islands, coast of ru, laden with guano, on the sth of February, 1356. bound for Queenstown, Ireland. On the 26th we had strong winds with heavy seas from the south- west, in lat. 40 degrees south, long. 78 degrees west. The ship then became very leaky, so that the pimps were obliged to be worked every hour ; and when under double-reefed top sails the crew were kept constant.y at the pumps. On the 27,h the foreyard was carried away ; strong gales prevailing with very high seas arid ship wry leaky, it was thought advisable to bear up fur the Straits of Ma gellan as the nearest place of refuge, which we entered on the 2d March with a fresh gale from the W.N.W ; weather thick and rainy, with sleet at times. At sun down attempted to anchor, but found no bottom, both ar chors dragging with 75 fathoms of chain, blowing a hurricane, and a strong current carrying us down to the narrowe,t part of the Straits, as we thought to destruc tion. We were obliged to let go one anchor and chain, the vessel having twice touched the rocks during the night. Daylight at last came to our relief, and we proceeded on ward to Port Famine, where we remained two days re pairing in the harbour. We continued our voyage until the Bth at 2 p.m., when she struck on a sunken rock about two miles from Barranca Point, the wind then blowing very hard and sea high. The ship continued to strike very heavily until 4 30 p.m., when the force of the wind and the sea had driven her over the bank, and she floated again. On sounding the pumps we found seven feet water in the well. The pumps were immediately manned, but the water gained so fast there was not even time to run the ship ashore, in which case part of the vessel might have been saved and our baggage also, there being barely time to launch two boats, in which we saved our lives with great difficulty. At seven p.m. the ship sunk in 24 fathoms as soon as we were clear of her. At nine p.m. dsrk, wet, cold, thirsty and hungry, we reached Baxa Point, on the Fuegian side of the Straits, having only a few soaked biscuits, no water, and the weather bitterly cold. We feared to light a fire lest we should attract the attention of the natives, who are well known by South Sea voyagers as cannibals of the worst descrip tioe. In this wretched locality we remained five days, when seeing nothing but starvation before us, the sea having abated, we took to our boats, and rowed across the Straits, and after several days suffering the greatest agony from protracted hunger and the most excruciating thirst we reached a small Chilian settlement in Pata-_ gonia. The governor, a Dane, received us very kindl 3 , and did everything in his power with his limited means to make us comfortable, and his attention to our wants will ever be remembered with gratitude. On the 15th May the United Stated' war brig Bainbridge, cruising in the Straits in search of the crew of the lost ship Man chester, having seen part of the vvrtck, and understood from the Patagonian Indians we were at the settlement, arrived and agreed to take us up to Monte Video, River Plate, having learnt that the crew of the Manchester had all perished but two. Our best thanks are due to the Chilian Government fur their assistance to British subjects, and especially to the governor for his kindness, and also to the United States' Government for the as sistance rendered by their vessel to us and to the officers of the brig for their kindness."

The festival intended to inaugurate the new Music Hall recently erected in this town commenced to-day under circumstances which must have been highly gra tifying to the gentlemen with wheal the design orgi nated. The building, although unassuming in its exte rior appearance, is situated upon a most eligible site, convenient to the centre of the town, and will, no doubt, be largely patronised by the public. Its interior is strikingly handsome, having been decorated in the highest style of art, and in all respects rendered as attractive as possible. In addition to the spacious floor, two galleries extend nearly round the building, from which an uninterrupted view may be obtained of the orchestra, and the ball is capable of seating nearly two thousand persons. The front of the organ is from elabo rate designs, richly gilt and coloured, and presents a very beautiful appearance, quite in character with the decoration of the building. As a music hall, it may he said to be one of the finest in the kingdom, adapted in every way for the purpose for which it has been erected, and will, no doubt, obtain a wide celebrity. The com mittee of management, with a view to the complete suc cess of the inauguration festival, spared no expense in the necessary preparations, and s: :4., the principal artistes, and a large body of pert - whose name the public are already famili con sisted of nearly 60 musicians, inch icr i t . ..bers of the Orchestral Union, under the able, n of Mr. Alfred Mellon, who is an established -' unite with the musical public of Birmingham.,- Wit. inch a gentle man as conductor, assisted by Mr. Sims Reeves, it may well ho imagined the performance of the band was per fect, and realised to the fullest extent the anticipation of those who, from the high eulogiutns of the metropo litan pre's, had been attracted to the present inaugura tion festival. The chorus was also complete, and num bered more than 100 voices; including the members of the Birmingham and other societies. The attendance this morning was large and highly respectable, includ ing the leading gentry of the town and neighbourhood, and several families of distinction from a distance. The performances opened with the National Anthem (Mr. Costa's arrangement), Miss Novello, Miss Dolby, and Mr. Sims Reeves rendering the solos with admirable perfection, and eliciting evident expressions of approba• tion. The " Messiah" followed, and throughout, under the direction of Mr. Mellon, was as nearly faultless as possible. The burden of this famous oratorio was sus tained by Miss Novello, Miss Dolby, and Mr. Sims Reeves, who were in excellent voice, and gave with con siderable effect the various airs and recitatives. The choruses were, with few exceptions, also perfect, and the stringed instruments in the final chorus, " Worthy is the Lamb," came out with extraordinary force. The opening recitative, by Mr. Reeves, "Comfort ye my people,' was admirably declaimed, and the singing of Mr. Thomas equally effective in the recitative, "Thus saith the 1.4 , rd." Miss Dolby gave the recitative and air, " He shall feed his flock," with all the taste and expression of an accomplished artiste ; and the air in the second part, "Come unto Him," was quite as effectively executed by Miss Clara Novello. In the third part this lady sang "I know that my Redeemer liveth, ' wi,h magnificent effect, and its repetition was greatly desired. The concluding chorus was powerfully sung, and marked by the distinction of an encore, when it was again rendered with, if possible, greater effect. The first miscellaneous concert takes place this even ing, and with such an attractive programme as that pre sented by the committee, there will no doubt be a large attendance. THE RvYAL BRITISH BANK. The unprecedented circumstance of the suspension of a London joint stock bank took place yesterday morning. For some time past doubts have been prevalent as to the position of the Royal British Bank, and a run has been going on, which terminated yesterday in the closing of the establishment, at about 11 o'clock, with a notice that business was suspended "pending negotiations." The negotiations in question were commenced on Tuesday with the National Bank, an institution for merly known as the National Bank of Ireland, but which, under the powers of its charter, entered upon business in London in October la-t. Tee directors of this bank, however, were willing to afford assistance to the Royal British only within sach prudent limits as might be thoroughly warranted by the nature of the assets to be made over, and it is believed that upon the discovery that the Royal British Bank had been compelled to close its doors all idea of proceeding further was abandoned. It is consequently inferred that unless attempts are being made in some fresh quarter, of which, as far as any successful result is concerned, it is feared there is l tale probability, the prosp ec t o f any arrasgements for a resuscitation being arrived at is at end. The capital of the bank is divided into 3,000 shares of loot. each, on w hi c h 501. has been paid, making a total of 150,000/., and among ninny practical people an opinion prevails that the greater part, if not the whole, of this will be I found to have been lost. Indeed, there are some who predict that the assets will fall s h or t o f t h e li a bi l i t i es, an d that a contribu ion from the shareholders will be required to complete the winding up. This impression, however, is derived merely from what is generally known of the in ferior character of the transactions of the establishment and the common experience of all such liquidations, and not from positive information of any kind. It is therefore possible that the consequences may be much less dis astrous. There are strong rumours that very improper advances have been made to persons connected with the establishment, and it is underttood that some time back it trade a large advance upon certain ironworks, which have not only proved a dead weight, but which in the old fashion have been allowed to absoib further and heavier sun s through delusive efforts to retrieve the original loss. The bank was established 7 years ago, with a charter from the Board of Trade, giving . several advantageous privileges, but no limitation of liability. The number of sharelsoliers is 289, and among them are many per sons of property. According to the half-yearly state ment submitted on the Ist ult. the amount of its liabili ties to depositors was 842,428/., and its assets consisted of discounted hills, &c., 810,2041. (including, it is re ported, about 250,0001. cash credits) " investments in Government-stocks and cash," 174,3641. ; and property in buildings, &c., 23,680/. At this meeting a dividend of 4 pet cent. was declared, the rate previously having been 5 per cent. The retirement of Mr. Cameron, the manager, was also announced, and the appointment of Mr. Craufurd in Lis place. The dirs eters were Mr. Ed ward Esdaile, governor ; Mr. John Stapleton, deputy ernor ; Messrs. Isaiah Butt, Georze Gillott, Richard Hurst, Alderman R. H. Kennedy, H. Dunning Mac lend, and F. Valiant. The bank had lately removed from Taenhouse-yard to the South Sea house, and it had branches in the Strand, Lambeth, Islington, Pimlico, Southwark, Regent-circus, and Holborn,—Tines' City rack, ~r ‘ • ..• 'I - _ .

The reserve fund, which had been established some years ago, bad been of peat service to them. They had already paid out of it 28.000/. fur the fatal accident which bad occurred on the line several months past, and 5,000/. for eslaying the line, making 33,0001., and there now re mained 32,0001. to the credit of that account. (Hear, :leer.) The gross traffic far the half year showed an in• crease of 14,418/ , of which only 1,145/. wee derived from the cenvelaece of troops. In the hafeyear ending June, 1855, the weekly receipts averaged 6,0181. ; but for the halt year ending 30th of June last they aver. Aged 6,473/ , showing an increase of 525/ per week. From the end of June tai the 30th of August the increase al the receipts amounted to 7 400/ With regard to the lividend, the plan they had adopted eae to keep' the ene and carrying stock in the most efficient working order, and to pay the dividend from the traffic accord ing to what it would afford. For the half-year ending June, 1855, they gave a dividend of 5 per eerie per annum, ctrrying forward 3,112/., and for the half-year ending the 30th of June last they would pay at the rate of 6 per cent, per annum, carry ing forward 6,422/. The increase in the gross traffic for the half-year was 14,418, and the increase in the sum available for dividend was 12,500/., so they would per ceive that the dividend was paid from the increased traffic, The dividends declared by the company were progressive. In 1851 the dividend was at the rate of per cent., and it was increased in succeeding years to 4 per cent., 41 per cent., and then to 5 per cent., and now to 6 per cent. The average dividend on the whole was at the rate of 4i per cent., including interest at 4 per cent. up to 1851, which bad been paid during con struction out of capital. If they imagined they conli not'maintain the 6 per cent. dividend, they would not declare it. A long discussion ensued, in the course of which the report was adopted, and a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent, per annum was declared for the half-year. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the pro. ceedings. BUNTINGFORD AND WARE. A meeting of the proprietors of the proposed railway from the Eastern•Counttes line at Ware to Bantingrtrd was held at the latter town on Saturday—Mr. C Lush ington in the chair. - Mr. Mickley read the report of a committee which had been appointed to ascertain the views of the different landed proprietors. It concluded as follows :—" The committee have come to the conclusion that gererally the scheme for the proposed railway from Buntingford to Ware has been received with favour by the land owners and occupiers, and that no serious opposition need be apprehended from them when the usual applica tion to Parliament is made for an act for this purpose." Mr. Green then moved a resolution, to the effect that, in the opinion of the meeting, a company should be formed to raise the requisite capital, and to apply to Parliament for power to construct the line. The Rev. G. BISHOP seconded the proposition, which was unanimously adopted. o,,her resolutions having been agreed t 3 in respect of the preliminary expenses, and soliciting subscriptions from the landowners and others interested in the line, the meeting terminated.

Considerable excitement was exhibitei at Frome, and the different stations on the line were crowded. At Bruton the bridge crossing the line was surmounted by laurels and the words, " Welcome to Bruton." There were also two evergreen arches i❑ the High-street, and flags appeared on the church tower and other places. The length of the line opened is 25i miles, and the intermediate stations are Witham, Bruton, Castle Cary, Sparkford, and Marston. The electric telegraph wires are in the course acorn p'etion. RAILWAY PASSENGERS: ASSURANCE COM- PANY. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at the offices, Old Broad-street, yesterday ; Mr. James Clay presided. The SECRETARY (Mr. W. J. Vian) read the minutes of the:last meeting and the report, which said—" The di rector■ have the satisfaction of reporting to the proprie tors a considerable increase in the amount received from premiums during the past halt.year. The income for the half-year ending 30th June last was 3,5411. 6s. ed. from railway accident policies and tickets, and 2,4351. 18s. Sd. for general accident policies ; together, 5,9771. sq. 2d,„ .; against 4,5701. 10s. 10.1. in the corresponding period of last year, being an increase of SO per cent. The amount actually received for premiums during this period, as shown by the printed statement of accounts, was 5,083/. 4s. 3d., making, with the Valance of last halt-year and the interest on investments, 7,5881. Bs. id. to credit of the revenue account. The disburs.rnenta, including the ordi-ary working expenses and 5351. 12s. 6d. as coin. pensation, amount to 4,0361. 9s. Bd., leaving a balance of 3,5511. 195., which, with the amount still due from the clearing-house and agents (894(. Os. 11d.) forms the sum of 4,445/. 19s. 11d., from which the directorsrecom mend the payment of interest upon the paid-up capital at 4 per cent. per annum, free of income tax, reserving the balance to meet the charges for Government duty and commission, and the risk on current policies. Theamount of compensation paid during the period under review, 535/. 12s. 6d., is smaller than usual, the number of rail way accidents having been less than for some years. Since the commencement of the current half-year, nume rous accidents of a very serious character have oocurred on different railways. The directors, however, are happy to inform the shareholders, that although great numbers of people have been more or less injured by these acci dents, very few of the sufferers have held insurance tickets. The directors regret to have to state, that since the commencement of the current half•year two claims of 1,0001. each have been made against the company, in consequence of the holders of general accident policies, Messrs. T. and J. Shilling, father and son, having been drowned in the river Medway on the 11th July last. They were driving along a private road (since shut up running between, and parallel with, the Medway on the one side and the Strood and Maidstone Branch Railway on the other. It is supposed that the horse took fright at a train which was passing at the time, as the chaise with their dead bodies was found in the river the following morning. The younger Mr. Shilling has left a widow and four children, to whom the amount of both policies is payable. The 2,0001. was secured as a provision for the family by the payment of 81. ss. only three months previously. On the motion for the adoption of the report, some discu , sion ensued in respect to the amount of expenses incurred, which were considered large ; but it was ex plained by the chairman of the finance committee that every item was looked to carefully, and no expense was incurred that could be avoided. They paid large sums as commissions to agents for increasing the busi ness. The report was adopted, and interest at the rate of 4 per cent. was declared, payable on the paid-up capital of the company. A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors concluded the proceedings.
