with this corresponding half of the previous year. This
result was the more remarkable, considering the rammer-
Mal difficulties of the period and the prevalence
of an unpareeled continental war. The earnings St.
had been almost entirely upon the French and Belgian II
cable. The company had escaped the commercial panic St
without any loss whatever. A sum of 2,0001. had been at
appropriated for repair of cable* in accordance with the re-
solution passed in February. The establishment of the Atlan-
tic telegraph was a source of the greatestcougratulation to all
persons interested in the extension of telegraphic communi-
eation,and it was esti acidly a matter of pride to this company
who were the pioneers in the establishment of submarine
cables. With returning tranquillity in Europe and restored I
commercial prosperity they could only hope as they
anticipated that this company would not be left behind
other undertakings.

( THIS DAY. )

At the half-yearly meeting of this company to-
day, Kr. C. J. DAY in the chair, the report of the directors
was unanimously adopted, and the usual dividend
declared.
The CHAIRYAN explained that a slight demesne in the
receipts of the present half-year wee owing to the prohi-
bition by government of the cattle traffic. The ordinary
traffic was increasing, and when the present restrictions
were removed would show greatly improved results,
but the company did not obtain its fair share
of excursion traffic, owing to the manner in
which it was worked. He also explained that notwith-
standing the failure of Sir M. Pito, the guaranteed divi-
dend wee perfectly secured to the end of the lame.
