BANK OF AUSTRALASIA.-(THIS DAY.)

The half-yearly meeting was held this afternoon
at the office of the corporation, No. 1, Threadneedle-wed,
ib r. HENDERSON in the chair.

The following internee, of the directors was submitted to
the proprietor :—" The interval which hamelapsed non the
directors met the proprietors at the manna meeting in April
has been markedby no event calling for particular notice.
The directors continue to receive from the superintendent
and managers satisfactory woman of the current triton.
floes of the bank. They have also the pleasure to state
that the indications of active and healthy progress in the
general condition of the Australian colonies, to which they
alluded in their last report, were becoming more apparent.
Trade was improving ; and although the price of wool has
fallen. better rates were being obtained for other kinds
of colonial produce. The yield of gold from alluvial dig.
gings had declined, partly owing to the clilficulty of
procuring water. Quartz mining,
.however, wai being
=ured with 'access ; and the discoveries which were
place of fresh goldfields, especially in New South
Weiss, tend to confirm the opinions entertainel of the rich-
Oen end extent of the mineral resources of Australia. The
impatient question of the supply of labour, the want of
which has been so seriously felt for some
time past, had engaged the attention of the locallegislaturee,
and measures have been adopted for resuming immigration,
at the public expense. The directors are also glad to mate
that the long disputed land question in Victoria has been
settled ; the legislature of that colony having passed an act
which has been accepted as satisfactory by all parties. The
effect of this Tonsure will be to give additional value to le,storal
properties, while at the same time large tracts of tho best
agricultural lands are reserved for freehold settlement. The
dircctan have now only to declare their intention of pay.
ing on the 14th of October the same dividend and bonus as
for the half-year at Apia, being together at the rate of
121 per cent. per annum, free of income tax."
The CHAIRMAN briefly addressed the meeting, congratu-
lating them on the satisfactory prospects of the company.
They could no longer make the large profits which
they had formerly done, but, they were glad to
say, what they did earn was obtained at a less
expense, and with not so much risk. He was happy
to say that the bank had not participated in the loci of gold
which, according to accounts received this morniog, had
been stolen by bushranger. The director. had
viewed with great satisfaction the passing of the
Lend and Emigration Bills, both of which were calculated to
increase the prosperity of the Australasian colonies, awl
thereby to improve the position of the bank. There was every
prospect of the colony of Queensland being soon the largest
and the most thriving in Australia. The bank had already
two branches there, namely, at Brisbane and at Ipswich,
and if there should be an opportunity of still further extend.
ing their operations there with prudence and success, the
directors would be prompt to avail themselves of it. Thie
bank was as exhibitor at the loternatioual Exhibition, sod
he was happy to say that it had received a gold medal.
Mr. Henderson concluded by moving the adoption of the
repoit
gr. MORRIS seconded the motion.

In answer to Mr. Fowler,
The Cneranen said that the soil and climate of Queens.
land were highly favourable to the cultrvatioe of oostoo—
she only difficulty was the price of labour. Till that could
be reduced he was afraid that the growth of cotton would
not make very rapid progress in the colony.
The report was unanimously adopted.
There being eo other business,
A vote of thanks was given to the chairman and dimctors,
and the meeting broke up.

MELANCHOLY DEATH OF ME. CARTER, JUNIOR.
—We mach regret to state that Mr. Carter, junior, the
son of Mr. Carter, the coroner for East Surrey, who, it
will probably be remembered, wee severely injured at the
fire which consumed his father's house, No. 76, Malvi n.
road, died last night of tetanus or lock-jaw, consequent on
the injuries referred to.
A MAN ROASTED TO DEATH ON • BRICE-
En.N.—This (Monday) morning, Mr. John Humphrey', one
of the coroners for Middlesex, received information of the
following shocking occurrence :—About 6 o'clock on Sato'-
day morning, as two boys were passing along Messm.
Ambler's brick fields, in the Lower-road, Ball's-pond,
Islington, they discovered a man on the top of one of the
brick-kilos in the field. Be appeared from him dress to
have been a countryman, and about 22 years of age. An
alarm was given to the police, and upon their arrival they
found the deceased, who is at present unknown, bad g.iled
a number of bricks round his body, but whether with the
intention of committing suicide or not remains a mystery.
The body was taken to the Islington dead-house to await
a coroner's inquest. Upon searching the body only two
pieces of yellow tape were found in the pockets and nothing
to lead to ids identity.
FORGED BANK OF ENGLAND NOTES. —For ROM
time past, we learn, a number of forged Bank of England
notes, chiefly for 5/. to 101., have been put into eirculatioo
in Liverpool The police authorities are busily engaged in
the investigation of the matter. The notes are said to be
so ingeniously wrought and finished, that some of the most
experienced cashiers in the local banks have failed to detect
their spurious character
THE MIDDLE LEVEL. —ln addition to an action
commenced against the Middle Level Dialnage COMM,.
Wooers in a case which was expected to have been heard at
the recent Norwich Assizes, further proceedings are threat.
ened by some other sufferers from the inundation, who have
intrusted the prosecution of their claims to Mr. Jackson. of
Wistach, and Mr. Jarvis and Mr. Pitcher, of Lynn. The
commissioners will therefore have their hands full of law
for some time to come, unless they can adjust matters d
raimable. The line of railway between Wisbech and Wet
lingtoo, which has been closed for:traffic for more than
three months in coueequenoe of the flood, is expected to be
opened again in a fortnight, the water having now abated
sufficiently to enable workmen to commence the repairs
required by the permanent way. The traffic to Wisbech
during the last few months has been conducted rid March,
so that no material inconvenience has been sustained by the
Beal public ; but the line submerged must require acme
considerable outlay for repairs.
SRCKYrING A BOY, NEAR DONCASTER. —At the
Doncaster West Riding police-court, on Saturday, before
William Aldan', Esq., and other magistrates, a respects,
Me-looking man was brought up, charged with shooting
at a boy, named Isaac Taylor, twelve years of age, with
intent to do bun some grievous bodily harm. The facto
of the case were somewhat extraordinary. On the
Bth instant it appeared that the lad had a gun and
some powder given to him to " tent" in one of the fields
of bis master, Mr. Stacey, farmer, of Wilby, near Dow
water and unknown to his employer be loaded it with
cut led and shot. Thus loaded, be took it into the stack.
garth where some men were thrashing wheat and stacking
the straw, and began to throw dead mixt at the man Pain,
who threatened Taylor that if he threw any more at him be
would shoot him. Taylor did not discontinue, and Pollitt
got off the stack, and though told that the gun was loaded
he raised it and shotTaylar io the abdomen. Two wituesses
were called, but they stated that they did not hear Taylor
tell the man that the gun was loaded. The bench decided
that the case should be sent for trial at the sessions for un-
lawful wounding only ; as they did not consider the pri-
soner had any intention of doing grevions bodily harm.
The youth was most seriously injured, but be was now in a
fair way to recover. The case was met for trial to the next
sessions for the West Riding.
THE POACHING AFFRAY NEAR NOTI.ING RAM.
On Saturday moraine last the three men, William Lenten,
Edward Oldbury, and Joseph Williamson (all colliers),
were taken before Lord Helper and the sitting magistrates.
at the Shire Hall, charged with a violent assault on Lord
Middleton's gamekeeper and assistant when the prisoners
were found by the latter on Lord fdiddleton's preserves
with guns. Details of the affray have already been pn.

A GHOST STOHY.—Last week some MieChieToul
penes, amused themselves by violently ringing the belle and
throwing stones at the houses in the Queen's-crescent, Heed-
ing. A Jodi paper states that as the offenders could cot
be detected, " some people were actually foolish enough to
think that it was dew, by • ghost."
ANGLING EETRAORUINARY.—A rare feat in
angling was performed on Blooday last, by Mr. Win.
Mitchell, St. David-street, Brechin, at the West Water.
In the course of a few hours be caught upwards of thirteen
doyen of fine trout, being the best basketful that has come
to the ancient city for a long time put--Montrose
Efiestufeird.
COUHEE OF THE NEW COMET.—Mr. Hind, the
metronomic, writing to the Tilel. from Mr. Bishop's ob-
' servatory, Twickeuham, on the liith inst., says :—" The
comet which has been tolerably conspicuous for several
nights near the noith polo of the heavens is likely to
become much more so dunng the ensuing (this) week as
it approaches the earth and moonlight ceases to interfere.
At 21o'clock yesterday morning it was as bright as Gamma
Crew ?Maoris ;io the Comet seeker' the tail extended
about three degrees, spreading out in a fanlike form ; t,d
there is • very perceptible trace of the luminous ;et
from the nucleus towards the atm, which would be in
object of interest in more powerful iestrument-.
The nucleus should increase in brightness, according to
theory, until the 29th of this month, when, pidgins frowiti
itaugmentation since the end of July, we may exlsl
it to equal such • star as Pollux (Beta Geminorum). It
does not appear probable that the tail will extend to to
unusual length, notwithsteeding she bnlliaucy of the head
The actual length is about 3.000,000 miles. The comet sill
be nearest to the sun on the Did, and will arrive at its least
distance from the earth (32,500,000 miles) on the :30th." Mr.
Hind adds that it will disappear in these latitudes about
the 10th or 12th of September. and will traverse the plot
of the ecliptic on the 11th of that month, at a point distant
rather more than 2,000,000 miles from the earthath.
COMMUNICATION FITH NEW ZEALAND.—The row,"
tnality with which the English April mail was delivered this
mouth by the steon.ship Bombay has enabled a feat to be
accomplished of great importance to the southern promo,

The grand jury having been sworn, the Chairman observed
that he could hardly cougratnlate them as to the state of
the c►lendar as it was ooly a fortnight ago when the ses-
sions took place, consequently there were more prisoners
than usual at this time of the year for trial. He perceived
that there was two prisoners for embezzlement, three for
robberies from the person, and the remainder, except one,
belong to the usual class of cases tried at these sessions.

and directed that the prisoner should be removed to
the hospital. The prisoner was taken to the hospital,
and he remained in • semi.insensible state for six home.

of the kind that had come under their notice. He found on
the prisoner two bottles labelled " Poison--laudanum."
When the prisoner came to be asked his reason for taking
poison, be said he had taken it for rheumatism in the head.
The prisoner had remained in the hospital until this

The prisoner said that Immo portion of what his wife had
stated was untrue. He was very sorry for what he had
done, and if allowed to go home would never again attempt,
to destroy his life.

prisoner selected a leg of mutton, a large piece of beef, ke. The man then left with it, and lie pursued him and gave'
him over to another person. On hie returning to his house
the door was shut against bon, and the prisoner made his
escape Over the • of several houses. The other man
managed to escape from the person he had left in charge
of him. It was the fourth foreman who had served him the
same way, although he paid them whatever wages they &eked.

had escaped over the roofs of some houses, and took him
into custody while he was secreted in a cellar.
Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, said it
would be idle for him to address anything on the prisoner's
behalf, more than to say that before entering Mr. Gorton's

account of some of the new foreign lows natural],

The India Five per Cent. Stock was quoted 1084
to I, and Exchequer Bills, 18m. to 21e. prem.
In the foreign stock market the principal transac-
tions were again in Turkish securities, which showed
increased heaviness in the morning, sales being
pressed by persons who are disquieted by the pro-
sTect of continued importations of the home stock.
The new loan was particularly depressed, the scrip
being marked as low as 24 dis., and the paid up at
66, and though the closing prices showed a partial
recovery, the market remained sensitive to the last.
On the other hand, the price of the internal stock
has risen to 304 to 31. The scrip of
most of the new loans was heavy. Portuguese
and Egyptian being still , the best supported.
Venezuelan has declined to par. Italian Five per
Cents. were steady, the price at Psria being about
4 per cent. higher than it is here. Most other
foreign stock, were dull.
Bank shares were inactive. Imperial Bank were
more offered. In the miscellaneous share market
there was no alteration, with the exception of a
slightly increased demand for English and
Australian Copper shares.

day 104 to prem. ; Thames and Mersey Marine
j Insurance, 24 to prem. ; Commercial Union
Assurance, j to 4 din. ; 17niversal Marine, 4 to

The funds to-day show increased heaviness, a bad
effect being produced by the unpropitious weather
at this critical season. Consols have again fallen
per cent. In the other markets business is dull,
and the demand for public securities limited. The
principal features are a fresh fall in the New
Turkish Loan and a partial rally in Great Western i
Railway stock.
Consols are officially marked 93 and 924, and
934 for money, and 93 and 931 for the ac-
count. The present quotations are 924 to 93 for
cash, and 93 to 1 for the 4th of September.

The Blue Jacket is now on the way from Mel-
bourne to England with 104,0001. in gold, and the
Anglesea with 28,0001.
A very extraordinary circumstance-one, indeed,
unprecedented in the history of the Bank of Eng-
land-transpired on Saturday afternoon. The pecu-
liarities of the paper on which they are printed
form, as is well known, the most popular and
ready means of testing the genuineness of Bank
of England notes. It has just been discovered, to
the serious uneasiness of the Bank authorities,
that a considerable amount of this identical
paper, specially manufactured for their notes, has
been purloined from the mills, and forged notes
printed upon the stolen paper are already being
detected. At the Bank, fortunately, no difficulty
is experienced iu detecting them, but to the general
public serious loss may arise, unless adequate
measures of precaution are instantly taken. Fully
alive to the emergency, the Bank have issued an
important caution, which cannot be too widely dis-
seminated throughout the kingdom, and which
will be found in another column.

MINES.-(THIS DAY.)

There were no bullion operations at the Bank on
Saturday. The exact amount of gold shipped on
board the steamer Tasmanian, for the West
Indies, on account of the new Peruvian Loan, is
421,800 L
The Asia, from Boston, has brought 10,0001. in
specie. A similar amount is being brought over by
the Edinburgh.
The anticipation that the increased exports of
breadetuffs from the United States would cause a
reaction in the exchange at New York proves
accurate. The quotation by the steamer Asia is
126 per cent., with a drooping tendency. The pre-
minm on gold has at the same time fallen to to
per cent.
There is renewed excitement in the Liverpool
cotton market. A fresh advance of Id. to id. per
lb. took place on Saturday, and the sales increased
to 15,000 bales.
The directors of the Agra and United Service
Bank (Limited) have declared an ad interim
dividend of 10 per oent, per annum for the half.
year ended 30th June last, free of income tax.
The following circular has been addressed to the
shareholders in the Chartered Mercantile Bank of
India, London, and China :
88, Throlseedlestreet, London, August 16,1862.
•

Sir,—l beg to inform you that the court of directors, at •
meeting held this day, declared • dividend of 5 per cent.
(free of income tax), for the half-year ending 30th Jane last,
payable to the shareholders on the London register on and
after Saturday the 23rd current ; and to the shareholder;
on the Bombay register three days after receipt of the out-
ward mail of the 18th inst. lam instructed by the court
of directors to avail of this occasion to inform you that the
loss sustained by the bank by the frauds and failure of
flermasjie and Rnstomjie, will not, to the best of their
belief, exceed 8,0001.—1 am, Ire.,
(Signed) D. T. Romrson, Manager.
At the half-yearly meeting of the Melbourne and
Hobson's-bay Railway Company, held at Melbourne
on the 3rd of June, a dividend of 21. 10s. per share
was declared, and is cow payable to the shareholders
on the Loudon register. The following are the
traffic returns of this railway for the four weeks
ending the 19th of June:—For week ending
May 29, 1862, Ll5l/. ; corresponding week of
1861, 1,0951. For week ending June 5, 1862,
1,8191. ; corresponding week of 1861, 1,9841. For
week ending June 12, 1862, 8911.; corresponding
week of 1861, 1,0371. For week ending June 19,
1862, 9411. ; corresponding week of 1861, 1,1591.
The directors of the Italian Irrigation Company
have received a highly favourable report from Mr.
James Abernethy, the engineer, relative to the de-
tails of the proposed works. We subjoin some of
the most interesting passages :
AS regards the total revenue to be derived from the ex-
isting and prepaid canals, the lowest money tariff applied
at present for water is 45 franca per hectare for surface dis-
tribution, while the rate for canals, which are private pro-
perty, is 65 francs per hectare ; assuming, therefore, as •
moderate mean, 50 francs per hectare for the Grand Canal,
I estimate the revenue to be derived from this and the other
sources enumerated at 7,212,000 francs. After deducting
from this amount 3,300,000 francs for interest on the hoods
at 6 per cent., and 400,000 francs for expenses, there will
remain 3,512,000 frame net profit, equivalent to 14 per cent.
on the share capital. If the principle be adopted (according
to the custom of the country) of levying one-fourth of the
grass produce, this estimate will be considerably increased ;
sod, in addition, I have not taken into account the profits
which, I am of opinion, may hereafter arise from the pur-
chase of private canals, and further extension of the Grand
Canal into Lombardy. As regards the comparative value of
the irrigated and unirrigated lands, it has been stated as
being 3 tot ; but, judging from what I saw at the farm of
the Marquis de Cavour, at Len and in that neighbourhood,
as compared with the unirrigated lands lying between
Novara and the Tecino, I should be inclined to place it at a
I much higher rate. -

The annexed memorandum, which apparently is
not from a perfectly disinterested source, relates to
the progress of the London, Chatham, and Dover
Railway works over the Walworth-road :
The vestry of St. Mary, Newington, bare obtained, on an
exparte application to the Master of the Rolls, en injuoc.
tlOll to restrain the construction by the Loudoo, Chatham,
and Dover Railway Company of • bridge over the Wed-
worth-road now erecting, with a headway of 18 feet over the
roadway. The pavement is a few ioches higher than the
roadway, and the height of the bridge over the pavement
is therefore a few inches ley than 18 feet, quite sufficient
for the tallest man in the pariah. The railway company in-
tend at once to have the injunction set aside. as they are
advised that it cannot be maintained. Is the meantime,
however, the stoppage of the works, postponing the open-
ing of the line to the- Elephant end Castle Statics], is a se.
:iota matter, involving pecuniary low to the shareholders,
but by the undertaking given to the Master of the Rolle by
the vestry clerk. the ratepayers of the pariah will be
sible to the railway cowpony for all loas or &meg:l=i
may arise from the delay.
