AUSTRALIAN MUTUAL 00 Nr•
MINING COVIPA,NY, r_ A
/
A epeoial general meeting of the shareholders trltly)c.-
Australian Mutual Gold Company wa 'tat-
yesterday at the offices of the company, Ne. 1‘ 001
gate, fur the purpose of authorising the direil)6oA'y
issue new shares to increase the capitul of the curaliaftY;"`•
Mr. H. C. Duppa, chairman of the board cf directors; fO/
the chair.

The advertisement convening the meeting having been
read, _ _ _

Tbe CRAIRMAN said it must be evident. to the share-
holders that, in order to give stability to the basis and
operations of the company, it was absolutely necessary
that land should be purchased in Australia, and for
that
purpose as well as for giving a positive
character to the company the directors must
be empowered to increase the capital. It.was therefore
proposed to increase it up to 600001, a proportion
of which amount would bo reserved for the colony,
while the remaining stock would be taken in this
country.—(Hear, hear.) It appeared from all accounts
that the labour market was very much disorgenizA in
Australia, and that, together wiA !MI i•us other circum
stances, had tended to make money more than ever ire-
eessy.ry in the colony for carryit.g out the undertaking
which the company bud in bear.)
Ikir::ELLIS moved the first resolution, as 10/loivr,:--
" That for carrying out th. lebitiuratr purposes ot this
company in Aust:alia, the whole c pifel be now increased
meetof owes in the United Kingdom,
to 60,0001.; three-fourths of which to b. rained by allot-
and one-fourth
in like manner in Australia." He had very much
pleasure in moving that resolution, because he believed
that no other company Australia was lilt< ly to Y prove
so successful as this. Discoveries,, had been made in Aus-
tralia which would carry their effects through the entire
world, and it must be uhvioue to the shareholders., not only
from what they had heard from the Cbairman; but also
from various other parties connected.with the company
teat land must be purchased without more delay if lee.y
wished to see the grand objects of the company suco, as-
fully acconiplished.—(Llear, hear.) Already two inde.
fatigable gentlemen, accompanied by an Efficient staff,
bad gone out, furnished with letters of recommendation
to iefluential parties in the colony, from gentlemen of
eminence and standing ih this country; and to ensure
their success this increase in the capital of the company
became not only politic, but absolutely indispenaable.—
(Hear, keen)* There was one circumstance iu connexion
with this question which he thought itaright to impress
upon their attention. Tne propersy of the colony, in the
wild outskirts of the towns, unless strongly
guarded,
.was liable to the attacks of a band of marauding robbers,
consisting of from twenty to thirty persons.
bat whenever there was a sufficient population
located to resist them they never ventured an appear-
ance.—(Hear, hear.) Now this company, by increasing
its capital, would be enabled to augment the expedition
which had been rent out, and so add to the security of
their property, that, very little time must elapse before
they obtained some valuable results from their exertions.
—(Hear, hear.) He had therefore, he repeated, yeti
much pleasure in proposing the resolution, and he hoped
it would be unanimously adopted.—(Elear, hear.)
Mr. HARVEY seconded the resolution, which was put
from the chair and carried unanimously.
Mr. MARTIN proposed the second resolution as fol-
lows:—" That the purser take the necessary steps for
the further allocation of the additional shares nowaigreed
to be issued to the public." The reasons for increasing
the capital having been so clearly and distinctly stated
by the chairman and the mover of the first resolution,
it would be a work of supererogation were he to attempt
to make any addition to Ibtm,—(Hear, heat)" The
directors, however, who had paid a g od deal of atten-
tion to the subject, and bad well consider. d it in all its
bearings, were satisfisd from the information they bad
! e t
received from the colony that an increase in the capital
in the
would place the company in a very superior position, and

Mr. GREENE had very great pleasure in seconding the
resolution, and, like the former one, it was put from the
chair, and carried unanimousy,
Mr. BENNETT proposed Mr.ancl.
HARVEY seconded a
resolution to the ef&ot, • " That the following amended
prospectus, setting forth the amount of increased capital,
the present acting committees of management in Lon-
don and Australia, sold the immediate objects of the
company, be adopted, published, and circulated."
The resolution was carried unanimously, and the
draftof the prospectus was afterwards read and agreed to.
Mr. MARTIN then moved a vote of thanks to the chair-
man, not only for his conduct in the chair, but also for
the assiduity and zsal with which he had devoted him-
self to the interest of the company during the last four
months, and to which the shareholders were mainly in-
debted for the success which had attended the efforts of
the company.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. Eeets seconded the motion, and took the oppor-
tunity of passing a warm eulogium upon the heads of
the executive staff which had gone out to the colony.
The motion was carried by acclamation, and the chair-
man having briefly acknowledged the compliment the
meeting terminated.

EXTRA BTJSINESS AT THE GENERAL POST-OFFICE.
--In consequence of the elections that are now going forward
in the different cities, boroughs, and counties of the united
kingdom, the increase of business in that department is
nearly incredible, and the employes are obliged to do extra
duty. No less than upwards of 250,000 electioneering cir-
culars were sent to the General Post. office, St. Martin's. le-
Grand, on Tuesday last, from the different committees (City
of London, Westminster, Tower Hamlets, Finsbury, rdarYl"
bone, Southwark, Greenwich, &c,) to be distributed by the
London District Post. This was the largestnumber that has
been known (exceeding St. Valentine's day), and many of
the letter carriers were not able to make their deliveries until
very late at night, as it was most urgent to the candidate*
that the electors should have the circulars in time.
PRACTICAL JOKE.—The inhaabitan nnoyed and inconve-
ti Gish,-
rough. in Yorkshire, have been sadly
nienced by the pranks of some mischievous persons, who in
one night bored holes in almost every waterbutt in the town,
and left the inhabitants breakfastless. A correspondent of
the Yorkshire Gazette, who announces the circumstance, con-
cludes by " devoutly praying that the miscreants may be
brought to iustice."
