SHARE LISTS.-(THIS DAY.)

OTTOMAN RAILWAY.--(THIS DAY.)

This day a special meeting of the company was to
have bees held, but in consequence of a communication just
received from the Ottoman government, desiring to nominate
one or twn additional members of the board.—which they
would he prepired to do—the 'ousting warn adjourned, to
give the necessary notice*.

MADRAS RAILWAY COMPANY-{THIS DAY.)

This day the eighteenth general meeting of the
coain.iny wee held at the London Tavern, Major-Geoeral
SIN ie the chair.

The report. an abstract of which has been already pub•
Baked, was taken as read. The paraenpr traffic showed an
increase of 2." i per cent. over the past half-year, and there
was also au increase in the goods traffic, although the season
was unfavourable. The gross receipts for the half-year
exceed those of the previous half-year by 1,11 N., and those
of the corresponding half-year by 1.1,118/. The sun's received
up to thus time on account of the company's five per cent.
convertible debenture loan amounted to 821,8001. of the
1,000,0001. authorised to be thus raised.

The CHAIRMAN, after refemTei to the works in progress,
moved the adoption of the report, which war secouded by
Mr. Arbuthnot

Dr. BEArrie remarked that the report wu a very honest
though an unfavourable one. He did not think
the line would ever pay as long as they car-
ried isomengers at one farthing a mile. (hear, hear.)
He did not believe the financial condition of India could
improve under its present system of government.
After wine farther discussion the report was agreed to.

Loril Brougham Lae passed through Paris on
his way to England from Cannes. His lordship, who ap-
pears in excellent health, was present at the last sitting of
the Academy.

There seems to be no doubt, from the Registrar.
General's return, that Scotland is really a healthy country.
Besides the direct evidence of the death-nite, which shows
• mortality decidedly below the ordinary mortality of
England, we are told that 10 per cent. of all the registered
deaths in Scotland are set down to old age alone. Athlete
heads the list of destructive diseases in Scotland as wall as
in Eogland, and bronchitis, as in England, come* second.
After these parallels, however, there is • divergence. The
third on the Scottish list is typhus, which with es only
ranks as sixth in deadliness, while diarrhea, which in
England holds the seventh place, in Scotland drops down
to the ninth. It is plain, however, even from these
statistics, that the mortality contingent upon excessive
heat is comparatively inconsiderable, for it is all expressed
under the head of diarrhosa, and yet di•rrhaa makes little
figure in the average of returns. The report contains acme
curious proof. of the doctrine that mortality depends, not
upon ordinary height or ordinary lowness of temperature,
but upon extremes. The most fatal months with us are
the winter months, or rather the months immediately suc-
ceeding the coldest period ; in other climes the months
following the hotfoot period are those in which the deaths
are most numerous. It seems to be established beyond a
doubt that the influence of weather upon health does really
exceed all other influences, and also that cold is more to be
feared than heat, notwithstanding the prejudice to the
contrary.

A Paris letter says :—" The theatres have been
doing a business during the late changeable, cold.gising
weather. The total receipts at en planes of public amuse-
ment were, during last mouth, 1,6:36,459f., or 66,416 f.,
being nearly a franc a month per bead for the whulepopu-
letion of Paris, men. women, and children. The theatres
are in general overflowing just now ; the Francais and the
Odeon, the Gymnase, the Porte St. Marne, and the Bolding,
are crowded every night, and in some of them it is difficult
to obtain a place. M. Offenbach and his gay company are
about to quit us in the midst if an enormous success, to
fulfil engagements at Berlin and Vienna. The new theatres
ea the Place du Chatelet ►re approaching completion ; and
the little Theatre Imperial du Cirque, in which the triumphs
of the first Empiro were illustrated by man and horse, amid
the thundering plaudits of the men of the f.uubourgs of the
last generation, will be @wept away by the inexorable fiend
bnprovemtnit, who hes already broken the hearts of half the
pasts and !archeologists."

A letter from Rome 'aye :—" The athLress of the
Raman to the Emperor of the French, for the erinuation of
Rows, Gods its way everywhere. A few Jaye ago a search
was made for it in the Apollo Theatre, because it was to be
*nod by the artiste. The document wee concealed in the
stays of a danaeute, and was not discovered."

Cremes Rwroans. —The result of the recent
census for Neweastle.meTyne has been published. The
total of the population is 109,000. In 1851 the population
was 89,156, and in Lill the numbers were 71,8n°. These
returns are exclusive of the muses of the river, which is
taken by the Customs, and which is not published. The
most remarkable inerease in the numbers of the popula-
tion is in the parish of Elswick, in which Sir W. Arm-
strong and Co.'s entwine,' and engine works are situated.
In 1851 the population of this perish was 3,539.
This year the population is 14,345; and in Westgate, where
many of the men employed in Messrs. It. Stephenson and
Co.'s and in Mann. Hawthorn's works live, there is a
population of 21.225, as against 16,477 in 18.51. In this
latter parish, however, there hes also been • large increase
in the number of respecteble house, since Mil. In the
parishes of St. Nicholas and St. John's, where extensive
building improvements have been the means of clearing away

SCSPICIED MUILDCIL—A letter from Galway,
dated Wednesday, says :—" Intelligence reached hers that
a metier had been perpetrated at Oranmore, about four
miles from Oalway. On inquiry, however, I learned that a
young woman named Burke had been found dead in her
father's house, and that suspicion existed as to the means
by which she came by her death. No marks of violence
was found on her person, and as she wax subject to epileptic
fits, it is possible that she died while labouring uuder as
attack of that malady. A drover, however, states that he '
heard a scuffie in the house on the previous evening, and
cries of 'Murder! murder!--oh, father, father!' The
father, I imiterstand, is under arrest, and an inquest is being
held of the body."
Houma,' eon WORMILI4.—In a volume entitled
El/Smiler, by M. Jules Simon, the author describes
a system for affording cheep lodgings to workmen,
which has been carried out at Mulhouse. Instead
of building splendid barracks for the working pope.
as has been done in Paris and in several
large towns without success, because workmen have the
perstest aversion to inhabiting such houses where they have
to renounce a certain degree of personal liberty, a society at
Mullsausen has conceived the idea of making the workman a
proprietor, by giving him a small house and garden to him-
self, on the sole condition of his buying it with his salary.
Foch house is worth from 2,slXffr. to 3,000 fr.; he must
pay 3001 r. down, and then engage to pay from 18fr. to
Mr. per month (about Mr. more than his usual rent);
sus that at the mid of fourteen years he finds himself the un-
disputed water of his tenement. These separate houses
forni a kind of small town by itself, where the inhabitants
are provided with all the advantages of water, bake-houses,
•library, sating-houses,
Veitmttre. —A letter from Naples of the 3rd
says :—" As Vesuvius interests everyone, I will give you
some little news about that celebrated mountain. It has
now been more or Ism% a state of eruption once the 19th
of December, 1855, which is the first instance of an event
of the kind being of such duration. In May, 18.58, the
woe gave way in every direction and threw out, by seven
different tenures, its lava, which had not ceased Sowing
fur • single moment since that time, filling up all the
ravines, and destroying the carriage road which
led to the Hermitage and to the Observatory.
It has covered all the arable land for a space of
about a square league, and on that ground it has
accumulated to a height of about 80 yards. Fancy, thee,
the quantity which the crater must have thrown out. That
movement partly stopped on the Bth ult. The lower
fissures are closed, but the upper ones send out increased
quantities. The mouth of the 19th December, 1855, begin
again to growl and thunder ; the bard lava with which the
bottomed it is filled is so far down that when a stone Is
thrown into the gulf you cannot hear it fall. It is very
possible that the fire may again begin to burst forth from
the top of the mountain, unless the cone should again split
at the sides. Such is the opinion of M. Palmery, the di-
rector of the observatory, but my idea is that the whole
cone will one of these days fall in altogether."

MONEY MARKET.---(THIS DAL)

Two o'CLocx.

The funds to-day are heavy, and a decline of
per cent. has taken place. Little business k going
forward. In all the other department. of the
Stock Exchange there is much dulness, and some
gloom. Yesterday's recovery in English railway
stocks has not been maintained.

The usual telegrams from the Paris Bourse have
uut yet arrived.

Consols are officially marked 911, 1,3, and
for money, and 92 for the account. The present
quotations are 911 to 2 for money, and
911 to 92 for the oth of June. The
official business report is as follows :—Bank Stock,
234, 222 f, 224, 222 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 891,
90, 891 ; New Three per Cents. 90, 891, 3 ;
Five per Cent. Annuities, 1071 ; India Stock,
225 ; ditto Five per Cent. Stock, 1011, ;
ditto for account, 1013, I ; ditto Four
per Cent. Debentures, 1858, 981 ; ditto
1859, ; ditto Bonds, lbs., die. ; Five per Cent.
" enfaced" rupee paper, 94 ; Exchequer Bills, 54,
10e. dia.

Inactivity prevails in the foreign stock market.
Little change has occurred in prices. The Turkish
Loan of 1854 is quoted 701 to 711, and that of
1858, 55} to 56. Mexican bonds are steady. Sales
are recorded as follows :—Braziliau Four-and-a-
Half per Cents., 1860, 87{ ; Dutch Four per Cent.
Certificates, 991 ; Mexican Three per Cents., 221 ;
ditto for account, 221 ; Russian Three per Cents.,
1859, 60i to 611 ; Spanish New Deferred Three
per Cents., for account, 42i, ; Turkish Six
per Cents., 1854, for account, 701 ; ditto Six per
Cents., 1858, 551 ; ditto for account, 55,1 ; ditto
100!. Bonds, 54.

The amount of gold sent into the Bank yesterday
was 4,0001., but there were some withdrawals of
sovereigns for transmission to New York on Satur-
day by the Persia, which is expected to take, in all,
at least 200,0001. On the other hand the demand
for gold for the Continent has subsided now that
the exchanges have improved, and that the money
market has become tighter. Such amounts as
may be imported will probably be taken chiefly to
the Bank of England. The 86,0001. in Australian
gold by the Southampton reached London to-day,
and has vet to be dealt with.

The latest quotation of exchange at New York is
reported to be 105 to I, showing a fresh decline.
The silver market continues very inactive, and
the supply by the last West India packet is still
unsold.
A considerable amount of business continues to
be done in the Liverpool cotton market, which is
firm. The sales yesterday were 12,000 bales.
The extra rate given yesterday at Lloyd's on Eng-
lish vessels from the American Gulf ports to thin
country was 15a. per oent. ; and the same premium
was paid on American ships outward bound to Eng-
lish colonies. The war risk on vessels from Sa-
vannah is equal to about 61. 64., with a return of
31. 3e. for neutrals, the special coctingencies affect-
iug ships under neutral flags being those of blockade
and bombardment.

A considerable amount of Greek bills fell due yes-
terday, and a good deal of anxiety was evinced with
respect to them. The day was not unattended with
difficulty ; but the usual strenuous exertions hav-
ing been made by the parties interested, only two
stoppages were announced, and in each instance
it would be more correct to say that payment is sus
pended. The firms referred to are Messrs. Lasca-
ridi and Co., and Theodore Ralli, Sons, and Co., of
Threadneedle-street. The latter must not be con-
founded with other firms of the same name. Both
these houses are highly respectable. Their affairs
have been looked into closely, and a considerable
surplus is expected, particularly in the case of
Messrs. Lascaridi. The liabilities of this
house are estimated at 70,0001. or 80,000!.,
and those of Messrs. T. Ralli and Co.
at 42,0001. A few months ago .he amounts involved
were much larger, hut in the interval there has
been a great contraction a engagements through-
out the Levant trade. The stoppage in each case
is resorted to as a measure of prudence, and prin-
cipally on account of the connexion existing be-
tween the London firms and others abroad. Messrs.
Lascaridi and Co. have carried ou a very large
business, and have establishments at Marseilles,
Constantinople, Beyrout, and at various points in
the Black Sea. Messrs. T. Ralli, Sons, and Co.
have a branch at Marseilles.
