TENINSULAR AND ORIENTAL STEAK
AAFWATION CONPANY.-(THIS DAY)

The twenty-eighth annual general meeting of
this company was held at 1 o'clock to-day, at their
offices in Leadenhall-stroct. Kr. Pane IE DOVOLLS
MOOR', the chairman of the company, presided.
According to the report there is a surplus on the
capital account of 334,316/. 14e. 841. to bo placed to the
credit of the general reserve fund. On the revenue ac-
count there is a balance of 13,148/. las. 2d., which has
been carried to the general reserve fund. The proprietors'
under-writing account shown a balance of 30,9681. 17s.
11d., which has been carried to the general reserve fund.
The amount under the head of the general reserve fund
is 634,316/. 14s. lid. The directors recommend a dividend
of 3 per cent., free of income tax, for the six months
ending the 30th September last, making,i with that de-
clared in June, 6 per cent. per annum. The warrants to
be issued on the 28th instant.

The Cnannust, in addressing the meeting, said although
the report might not be so encouraging as some of the
shareholders expected it should be recollected that they
had recently passed through a period of unexampled de-
pression almost equal to that of the preceding year.
7Ceverthelsee they were able to show, so increase on the
freight this year, but unfortunately they had not obtained
much specie. This year the company had met with a loss
of two flue ships, which were wrecked on the perilous
coast of China. The commanders of them, however,
were acquitted of all blame by the judgment of a naval
court of inquiry. He congratulated the shareholders
upon the results of the Abyssinian expedition. A
considerable amount of receipts arising from that
expedition had gone to swell their dividend.
The freights of late bad been impro • especially in the
home trade of silk. There has been a large increase in
the import trade of silkworms' eggs from China and
Japan to France and ether countries of Europe. Their
ships had carried 2,500 cases of silkworms' eggs for distri-
bution in Italy, and they arrived in such an excellent
state as to merit the thanks of those parties to whom
they had been consigned. The company have been
obliged to improve the tonnage of their ships. Whereas
500 tons of cargo were formerly all that they required
accommodation for, they were now obliged to increase the
capacity of their ships to 1,500 tons. The increase of the
annual subsidy has tended to increase their receipts tlilimeabrie.
Their postal service has been accomplished with rm
punctuality. On the occasion of the late solar eclipse
their commanders availed themselves of the opportunity
that presented itself to them, and they made excellent ob-
servation, is hick they forwarded to the Royal Society,
for which they received the grateful acknowledgements of
that society. The dividends of the company could not be
earned as easily as in olden times. They had opposition
everywhere—their silver age had paned away, and they
had now come down to an iron age. After some further
observations, the chairman moved that the report be
adopted.
Mr. Wzorrux, M.P., seconded the proposition, which
woe agreed to.
A resolution granting 4,0001. to the board, in lieu of the
usual resnanerstion, was also adopted.
C.aptain Engledue and the Hon. M. Melville wore elected
directors, Mr. Weguelin retiring.
The usual vote of thanks was agreed to

equence of his having accepted office in Mr. Gladstone's

Mr. Demunmi then said he was about to propop an

At t they were ended at a full council board, and
without due consideration. He also thovht it was wrong
to allow any gentlemen who were exhibitors to take
pert in the election of judges. He would not
say that they allowed their feelings as exhilitoes
to have anything to do with it, but the
was wring. He would move that the present retebt
rescinded, sad that for the future the judges be chosen

would more to that effect as an amendment upon the ori-

The application for placing the Italian Govern-
ment Tobacco Loan upon the Stock Exchange
official list came again before the committee yester-
day, and, at the instance of the Cavour Canal
lsoidlioldeng, was further adjourned till the lith
inst. _ _

It will be remembered that amongst the credi-
tors who allege that they have suff'red injury at
the hands of the Italian goverument are the
holders of the Maremmena Railway Bonds. Their
grievance is that, whereas they were entitled
to a certain number of shares in the Roman Rail-
way Company, which were paying a dividend at
the time when the loan was brought forward, the
dividends on those shares have not since been
forthcoming. By an advertisement published
yesterday winning, it appears that a gene-
ral meeting of the Roman Railway Company
is called for the 20th inst., at Florence, " with the
solo object of electing the new board of directors."
It is greatly to be desired that this, as well as all
other questions affecting Italian credit, should be
