on Monday by the Bank, the 343,0001. brought in by
the George Marshall was sent in yesterday, making a
total of some 860,0001. in two days. The wholc•
sale creation of notes which this operation involves
(*snot fail to induce increased ease in the money
market. The bulk of the gold ex the steamer
Africa, from New York, is expected to be bought by
the Bank to-day. but a small portion of it will be
despatched to Cadiz.

The Secretary of the United States Treasury has

At the annual meeting of the South Australian
Banking Company yesterday, a dividend of 10 per
cent. per annum was declared, free of income tax, pay-
able in half.yearly instalments on the 15th of icily and
15th of J.nuary next. Ten per cent. of the declared
profits is added to the reserve fund, which now
amounts to 49,3111. The directors describe ths posi-
tion of the bank as sound, and express a confident
belief that its operations will continue to bc attended
with a profitable result.
The half/early meeting of the London and Green-
wich Railway Company is called for the Bth of July,
when a dividend of bs. 2d. per share (clear of income
twill be recommended on the old or unprivileged

The annual meeting of the London Reversionary
Interest Society, called for the 24th of July, is atter-
wards to be made special for the purpose of consider-
ing the following motion That twenty years
having elapsed Mom the establishment of this society,
and on a consideration of areport of the actuary of
the value of the property, it be resolved that the
society be dissolved, and the assets be realised."
The prospectus of the Brighton Hotel Company is
issued, with a proposed capital of 60,0001. in 101.
shares, on which the deposit is to be 21. The pro-
moters state that a beautiful building with a fine site
has been secured, and will be completed in time for
the Brighton season. The system of management
and the arrangements are to be" essentially English."
Reference is made to the ousels. which has attended
the establishment of the Great Western Hotel, at
Paddington, and to the adoption of the joint stock
system for hotels in many parte of the continent and
of the United States. The directors are to be ap-
pointed from among the shareholders, after the allot-
ment of shares. The company is constituted under
the Limited Liability Act.
The arrangements are notified in connexion with
the payment of the half-yearly interest on Grand
Trunk Railway of Canada shares and bonds : /kinds
Railway shares, and Westend of London and Crys-
tal Palace Railway shares.
According to a notice just pat forward in Paris,
shareholders of the Matra-French Railway Company
(in which MM. Pereire and the Credit Mobilier So-
ciety are interested) are invited to apply, not later
than the Bth of July, for their proportion of shares in
the Francis-Joaeph Railway Company. Five shares
in the former entitle the holder to subscribe for one
share in the latter undertaking. A payment of
61. per share is to be made on subscribing. The num-
ber of 201. shares reserved for the French-Anatriaa
Railway Company is 80,000, representing a total
capital of 1,600.0004 These arrangements involve a
fresh drain upon the French market, which is already
oppressed by the enormous amount of its existing
liabilities. The aggregate capital of the projected
Francis-Joseph Railway Company le n° less than six
millions sterling, in 300,000 .bane of 201. each. The
company's system will comprise the right bank of the
Danube, from Vienna and Comoro to Bombs (Bel-
grade), and from Peath to the Trieste line. The Aus-
trian government is evidently extremely anxious to
establish a good system of railway communication
throughout the empire. Probably the Imperial
cabinet has chiefly in view military objects, and
especially the devising of means for the prompt re-
pression of insurrectionary movements, should such
forth.
At a general meeting, held in Paris on the 17th
inst., of the Stearin' Manufacturing Company of La
Villette, profits at the rate of 12 per cent. were
shown for the 13j months, during which the com-
pany will have been in operation, up to the end of the
present year. It is significant of the singuiee feeling
at present pervading French financial circles that
shareholders assembled in public meeting are en-
couraged to regard ascertain profits the actual reali-
sation of which will net be obtained until months
hence. The company's business consists of the pre-
paration of stearin' for soap and candles. This un-
dertaking is Gas of the protegla of the Credit Mo-
bilise Society, cos of the directors of which, M.
Auguste Therneyseen, presided at the meeting.
Interest at the rate of 6 per tent. per annum up to
the 30th inst. was declared. The directors are already
inviting subscriptions for an Mime of 12,000 new
shares.

TIIISDAT EVNINIWII.

The fonds are maintained at the extreme point of
the late improvement, bet the upward tendency is
restrained by the diversion of speculative attention
to other departments of the Stock Exchange, and by
the supply of stock from the new loan. Upon the
opening of the transfer books in July new stock, to
the amount of two millions and a half—viz , 60 per
ant. of the five million loan—will be issued, but this
creation will doubtless be readily absorbed. Console
closed to-day the same as yesterday, being almost
perfectly stationary throughout the day. In some of
the markets then was a little disposition this after-
noon to realise the profits presented by the »ant
rise, bet on the whole the reaction is unusually
trifling, the satisfactory sppearanoe of monetary
affairs giving the market a very strong basis.
In the Stock Exchange today money continued
easy, notwithstanding the preparations for Satur-
day's instalment of one million on the new loan. Out
of doors the general commercial demand was more
active, but the current rates are still decidedly below
the Bank minimum. _ _
