The telegraphic coasmuniceion between Aden
and Suakin continues suspended. The advice re-
ceived intimate, however, that the Red flea Com-
pany'. line between Aden and Kurrachee is in ex-
(patent working condition.
We understand that a contrast has been cow-1
eluded between the French government and certain'
houses In London for the manufacture of a sub-
marine telegraphic cable, which is to be laid down
between Marseilles and Oran (Algeria) about May
next. It is stated that a portioa of the cable has
already been made, that the French government
give a subvention of 40,00 W., and that the balance
of the capital required will be raised in England by
means of a public company.
The half-yearly meeting of the Submarine Tele-
graph Company was held yesterda?. The receipts for
the half-you amounted to 12,8821., against 14,1131.
in the previous six months. The income of the
whets year 1869, however, shows an increase of
2,4371. over that of 1868. The dividend agreed to
wasat the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, less income
tax, as recommended. Resolutions were also passed
authorising the directors to apply to government for
a supplemental charter, to obtain power to convert
into stock the whole of the company's capital, and to
borrow money on debentures or bonds.
The half-yeorly meeting of the Railway Passen-
gers Animas Company also took place yesterday.
The profits daring the half-year amounted to
15,5821., beat an increase of 3,9241. compared with
Uses of the corresponding period of 1868. After
deductions, the balance standing to the credit of
revenue is 8,2891., and being rather larger than that
from which the directors declared a bonus last year.
It is explained, however, that the larger number of
policies now in force renders it undesirable to make
a division on this occasion. The directors proposed,
therefore, only to pay interest at the tonal rate of 4
per cent. per annum. The report was adopted.
The London and North Western Railway traffic
return shows this week an lacrosse of 3,3061.
