The usual half-yearly meeting of the General
Steam Navigation Company was held this afternoon
in Lombard-street, when a satisfactory dividend was
declared.

Advice. from well-informed writers in New York
draw attention to an improvement in the exchange
on London, and express a belief that large quantities
of gold will continue to be remitted from that side to
Ragland.
The specie arrivals reported yesterday amount to no
less than 263,0001., including 15,000 oz. of gold and
30,0001. in sovereigns, by the Ocean Chief, from Syd-
ney ; 825,179 dole, by the Asia, from Now York ;
and 2,000 oz, of gold by the Candace, from Africa.
The demand for gold for exportation was to-day
slight, and it is expected that the bulk of these arri-
vele will be presented for purchase to the Bank. The
dates brought by the Ocean Chief are about a fort-
night later than those previously received.
The Admiralty will receive tenders on Thursday
next for the conveyance, in four sailing vessels, of
army provisions to Constantinople or the Crimea.
Two of these ships are to sail from Deptford, one
from Gosport, and the fourth from Plymouth.
The steamer George Hawkins has been engaged by
the Admiralty as a regular transport.
Advices from St. Petersburg of the 18th inst. quote
the exchange on London at 36 5.16 to 7-16 d. The
market foe tallow was quiet, but during the week
about 3,500 casks had been taken for transmission
westward. The quantity of tallow despatched from
St. Petersburg to date this year is stated at 18,914
casks, besides 2,800 from the interior, against 12,767
from St. Petersburg last year, and 12,000 to 13,000
from the interior. The present price of tallow at St.
Petersburg is calculated as equal to 341. per ton, free
on board at Cronetadt, whilst the cost of carriage
from St. Petersburg to London overland through
Prussia is estimated at 201. per ton. It, is obvious
from this statement that, independently of other con-
siderations, the price realised for his tallow by the
Russian producer is greatly reduced by the blockade
of the Russian ports. Opinion may vary as to the
advisability of entering upon measures for creating
a still greater pressure upon this important branch
of Russian industry, but meanwhile it is satisfactory
to find that the steps adopted do not altogether fail
of effect.

Relative to the tallow market, Metiers. Smith and
Charles observe as follows :
The demand for tallow on the spot lut week was very
lug., especially for exportation. It is understood that the
French government ,ontemplate the imposition of an in-
crease of ten rer cent. on the import duty on tallow in the
next Hair, ~f the cbemben in October or November.
This is no doubt inducing a larger demand for France than
the present necessities of the trade require. At the tune
time, cur information still leads us to the conclusion that
the French manufacturers must consume a large quantity
of foreign tallow this year.

pointed special settling day for Ardennes Railway
shares, and for the new shares of the Great West-
ern Railway of Canada, the certificates of which lat-

The receipts of the Great Western Railway of
Canada for the week ending the 10th inst. were
5,8171. sterling, being at the rate of 241. 2s. per mile

corresponding week of last year.
The General Cooperage Company adds another to
the list of projects brought forward under the encou-
ragement afforded by the Limited Liability Act. This
company has purchased "Hamilton's Patents," and
proposes to work an extensive cooperage factory at
Globe-wharf, Bow. It is also contemplated to form
establishments at Liverpool, Burton, and other places.

with power to increase to 100,0001., and the shares
are to be of 101. each, with a deposit of 31. per share.

MONDAY EVENING.
The English stock market remains singularly in-
animate, and free from fluctuation. Pending the re-
ceipt of more decided news from the East, little dis-
position is shown to operate. At this period of the
year many members of the Stock Exchange take a
holiday, and this year the number so absent is con-
siderably larger than usual.
The discount market continues very easy, being
abundantly supplied. In the Stock Exchange it is
difficult to find employment for money.
Console did not vary throughout the day from
Saturday's quotation of 911 to i for money and the
6th September. The official business report is as fol-
lows :—Three per Cent. Console, for money, 911, 911;
ditto, for account, 6:12 September, 911, 911. Three
per Cent. Reduced, 911, 92, 921. New Three per
Cents., 921,1. Long Annuities, expiring in January,
1860, 4 1-16. Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Exchequer
Bonds, falling payable in 1838, 1001, 1001. India
Bonds, 30s. prem.
The foreign stock market was also very quiet.
Turkish Six per Cents. were rather more inquired
for, and closed at 931 to 94. The scrip of the New
Four per Cent. Guaranteed Loan was well supported,
at 21 to 21 prem. Spanish stock was rather firmer.
