GREAT INDIAN PENINSULA RAILWAY.
(THIS DAY.),

The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors was
held at WOO, at the London Tavern ; Mr. W. J. HAMILTON
in the chair.

The report, which bad been issued some time previously,
having been taken as
The Cnanurag, in movingrd the adoption of the report and
accounts, commenced by coorratulating the meeting on the
prosperity of the mincers and the progress made with the
works during the last half-year, adding that the chief resi-
dent engineer in India (Mr. Graham) had just arrived
from India and was in the room. At the last meeting he
expressed a hope that the Shore Ghat incline would be
immediately opened, and it was in fact opened by his
excellency the Governor on the 21st of April. The
extension line to Hyderahed was an alternative line sug-
gested instead of • previous project ; and he trusted the
government would yield their assent to it. The great
features in favour of it were its shortness and
its importance both commercially and
It would pass through a well-inhabited and
riehly-
cultivatd district, and in those respects was
superior to the other route. The main object of making it
was to complete the communication to Madras ; end it had
already obtained the favourable opinion of the governments
of Bombay and Madras. AS regarded the Beason, the
gross receipts of the half year amounted to 210,0001.,
from which there waste) be deducted 56,0001. for carrying
the traffic over the Ghats leaving • balance of 134,M31.,
beitigan increase of 67,0C31. over the balance of the corre-
sponding half of last year. The expenses showed an increase
of 43.1..03!., that sum including 25,0001. paid
for damages done to cotton. Notwithstanding the large
amount paid for compensation, the net profit exceeded that
of the corresponding period of the previous year by 21,0131.
He then entered into detailed explanations with regard to
the onion loss, and defended the company against the
charges of carelessness and inadequate provision for the cot-
ton traffic preferred against the officers of the company by
government officials in India. One cane of the loss was
the want of an adequate goods station at Bombay—a want
for which the government wee itself partly responsible.
The evils which had occurred, were, he remarked, more or
Ise owing to direct interference on the part of the govern-
ment, who were not justified, therefore, in speaking of the
railway management in the manner that they bad done in the
Bombay papers- In referring to the charge that sufficient ac-
commodation had not been provided for third-elan passes.
gers, he said it should be recollected that such wpm:igen—
and there were no lees than 30 or 40,C3 of them per week—
were carried at the ridiculoualy low charge of a farthing •
mile. He concluded by remarking that one of the
direetors, Mr. Ayrtoo, M.Y.was now in India,
and expressed a hops that the Lou,b gentleman would be
enabled to obtain concessions from the government which
would secure the satisfactory working of the whole of the
line.

---311 r. FRITH (deputy &drama) sanded the resolution,
ehich wee Armed to nosoisnoody without say previous
disunion. _

A resolution for the forfeiture of 20 shares for non•pay-
meat of calls having been agreed to, the meeting awarded a
rote of thanks to the Cliairmao and his colleagues.
Mr. Ogaiwi (the chief engineer in India), at the
• of a shareholder, made some remarks
of those of the Chairman with
cfre:ard to the satisfactory program of the works.
He expected that the line to Nagpore would be completed
by Jape, 1563 ; end be coafideatfy looked forward to the
early part of 1866, as the time when the lose to Jobbat-
pore, completing the wain routes, would also be Wetted.

BARK OF WALES (LIMITED).-(17113 DAY.)

The first ordinary general meeting of the mem-
bers of the above bank was held at I o'clock, at the Loudon
Tavern ; Mr. J. N. DauiaL in the chair, "To receive the
reports of the directors and enacts and the statement of
scoomits and balance.-sleet of the company up to the 30th
day of September, 1863, and to transact the general beelines
of the company."
The followtng report and belasee-thest were pre-
sented ;—" Your directors, in submitting to the ahem-
holden the accounts of the bank from its commence-
ment to the 30th September last, beg to inform them
that the first branch of the company was opened on
the sth of May last, since which time five other
branches have been added prior to the 30th September.
During the present month two mom branches have been
opened, sod the directors are now making arrangenmats to
establiah branches in other districts tinder favourable aus-
pices. The short time the bank has been in active opera-
tion renders it scarcely practicable to present a profit and
lose ercount ; aid a further difficulty stets in the custom
which has hitherto prevailed in some towns of
making up account. in the months of June and Dec. only.
From the short experience, however, which your directors
hive had of the districts in which your busioess is traesacted,
they feel confident that the expectations of sum= which
induced the formation of the company are likely to be
fully realised. It was intended that the first meeting should
be held in the early part of next year, but the
act of parliament providing for the first meeting
being held within twelve months from the date of
the incorporation of the company, via., the 23rd October,
IB6Z renders this early meeting neesesary. In compliance
with the stele:lea of meociatios, the auditing appointed
by the directors sow retire from oilkse, and Mr Arthur
Cooper and Mr. Edwin H. Galaworthy offer themselves
for reulestion.

MINES.-(THIS DAYJ

Two o'CLocaL

There is very little business going forward in the
mining market to-day, many of the dealers being
still absent in Cornwall. Prices in most instanoes
are consequently without change. Wheal Chiverton
shares have risen 7s. 6d., the present price being 12
to f. On the other hand, Great Fortune and North
Crafty are flatter, being quoted 25i to 26} and 51
to sf, respectively. East Carideo are called 27 to
being steady ; Clifford Amalgamated, 37} to 38,

sant& Barbara shares are inquired for, owing to
the favourable character of the report just re-
oeived. Other foreign, as well as colonial, mines
are quiet.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MA RIC-LANE. -(THIS DAY.)

The supply of English wheat on offer at to-cii;y's market
was only moderate. The attendance al liven being limited,
the demand for both red and white qualities ruled very in.
active. Compared with Monday, however, no change took
place in the quotations. The general quality of the supply
was very fine.
We were heavily supplied with foreign wheat, fresh as
well se ez-granary. Selected samples moved off slowly,
at about stationary prices ; but all other kinds were a heavy
inquiry, at almost nominal currencies.
Floating cargos of grain off Falmouth were inactive, but
not cheaper.
There was a fair average quantity of both English and
foreign barley on show. The demand was chiefly in rated,
yet prices were supported.
New malt commanded quite preview rates ; but old par-
cels were a dull inquiry at barely late rates.
With oats we were tolerably well, but nett° may heavily,
supplied. Selected qualities realised about Mondays cur.
many. In all other kinds very little was doing, at barely
stationary prices.
Beans were very dull, at the late decline in value.
The transactions in peas were much restricted, at na.
altered currencies.

Both English and foreign flour changed hands slowly, on
former terms.
- -

The seed trade was heavy, and the demand for cakes was
somewhat restricted.
