An extraordinary meeting of the English and
Australian Copper Company (Limited) will be
held on the 27th inst. The directors' report states
the estimated profit on the operations for the six
months ending December last at 2,939/., but which
has been reduced to 2,0011. by an over estimate of
the copper on hand on the 30th of June, 1867. The
latter sum, it is stated, will be sufficient for the
payment of an ad interim dividend of Gd. per
share, after paying interest at the rate, of 5 per
cent. to the reserve fund, which now stands at
11,9601.

ENGLISHWOMEN IN P,uue.—Yesterday (August
17), says a Parisian correspondent, persons stopped short
in the middle of the Rue de la Pair to observe a group of
Englishwomen who looked like a herd of boars about the
jaw and like a troop of parrot* from the vivid and varied
colours of their costumes. They must have gone in pairs
to buy those pretty dresses of striped percale of which we
have often spoken, and they generally wear thepetticoat of
the one colour with the dress of the other, which enables
them to have a blue dress on a red petticoat and a red
dress on a blue petticoat. They discovered that petticoats
of the same colour are not striking, and they therefore
ary them. Not being able to get these odd dresses and
petticoats made up singly at any establishment these ladies
combine to purchase in pairs the bright colours with which
they strut about the streets of Paris.
The French Transatlantic Mail steamship
Laurent arrived at New York from Brest on the 28th ult.,
in nine and a half days.
The completion of the harvest in this neighbour-
hood (says the Seasaford Mercury) has been followed by
some beneficial showers, which have given a wonderful
impetus to vegetation ; and it is now hoped that, notwith-
standing the ravages of the long drought, the eerience
of the year 1828 will be repeated, and that before . the
