NORTH OF EUROPE STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY.—
At a meeting of this company, 'yesterday, Sir S. M.
Peto presiding, an interim dividend, at the rate of 8 per
cent. per annum, was declared, and the statement made
was received as favourable. It was mentioned, as illus-
trating the rapid progress of the undertaking, that the
gross receiuts of the first half of 1854 were 47,6371.,
and of the second half 75,4651., while for the first six
months of the present year they reached 103,4491. The
fleet has been increased, and six vessels out of twenty
are at present employed in the Government transport
service. The dividend will be paid upon the capital
subscribed of 151. per share, and no fur-her increase is
intended without the special sanction of the proprietors
With the view of securing the advantages to be obtained
by limited liability, the provisions of the new act, im-
mediately it becomes law, will be applied to the com-
pany. In answer to questions it was stated that the divi-
dend will not be payable free from income tax. With re-
.fard to insurance, arrangements have been made in the
wijustment of accounts for any loss or casualty that
may arise in the regular trade of the company, while for
those vessels which have gone to the Baltic or the Crimea
special risks have been opened. It wa-i announced in the
course of the proceedinizs that Lord Yarborough, who
is the chairman of the company, wished to retire, on
the ground of ill health ; but, with the hope of his
perfect recovery, a unanimous desire was expressed
for him to retain his post. A suggestion was made
that the present would be a fitting opportunity for ad-
justing the allowance of the director., but it was even-
tually agreed, at the recommendation of the latter that
the question shall stand over until the meetingin January,
when the annual accounts will be presented. It was inti-
mated, however, that an appropriation for this purpose
would not have materially interfered with the balance to
be carried to the credit of the next halflestr.
