TUIIKE

Intelligence has been received at Trieste from Con-
stantinople to the 27Lh by the Imperatrice steam
packet, but the news is without interest. The Ra-
madan had commenced, and the Turks were giving
themselves up to fasting. OMER PACIIA was to re-
main at Stamboul during the holy month, and after-
wards to return to Bosnia. He is described as being
the object of the favours of the Court, and the ques-
tion of his being dismissed from his functions is en-
tirely set at rest. KwAs PACIIA died on the 17th, in
consequence of a wound which he accidentally gave
himself with a pistol.

.STRALIAN MUT UAL GOLD
A special genZNmleNeGting
COMPANY.ofthe
Australian shareholders in the
Mutual Gold C
ining ompany was held yesterday at the offices ot the company, No. 1, Meor-
gate, for the purpose of authorising the directors to
issue new shares to increase the capital of the company.
Mr. H. C. Duppa, chairman of the board •
e board cf directors, in
the chair.
The advertisement convening the meeting having been
read,
The CHAIRMLN 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 60,0001, a proportion
of which amount would be 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 disorganized in
Australia, and that, together with various other circum-
stances, bad tended to make money more than ever ne-
cessary in the colony for carrying out the undertaking
which the company had in view.—(Hear, bear.)
Mr. Euas moved the first resolution, as follows:
" That for carrying out the legitimate purposes of this
company in Australia, the whole capital be now increased
to 60,0001.; three-fourths of which to be raised by allot-
ment of sares in the United Kingdom, and one-fourth
in like manner in Australia." Ile had very much
pleasure in moving that resolution, because he believed
that no other company in Australia was likely to 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 obvious to the shareholders, not oaly
from what they had heard from the Chairman, but also
from various other parties connected with the company
that land must be purchased without more delay if they
wished to see the grand objects of the company success-
fully accomplished.—(Hear, bear.) Already two inde-
fatigable gentlemen, accompanied by an efficient staff,
had gone out, furnished with letters of recommendation
to influential parties in the colony, from gentlemen of
eminent() and standing in this country; and to ensure
their success this increase in the capital of the company
became nor only politic, but absolutely indispensable.—
(Hear, hear.) There was one circumstance in connexion

ith this question which he thought it right to impress
upon their attention. The property 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,.
but whenever there was a sufficient population
located to resist them they never ventured an appear-
ance.—(gear, 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 exrtions.

Mr. MARTIN proposed the second resolution
as f(3l-
- That the purser take the necessary
the further allocation of the additional shares nnow
steps a for
eed
to be issued to the public." The reasons for increasing
sing
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:attompt
to make any addition to them.—(Hear, hear.) The
directors, however, who had paid a good deal of a t ten-
tion to the subject, and had well considered it ;in all its
bearings, were satisfied from the information they had
received from the colony that an increase in the capital
would place the company in a very superior position, and
enable them shortly to give a satisfactory proof of their
success in the shape of a handsome dividend.—(gear.)
Mr. GREENE had very great pleasure in seconding the
resolution, and, like the former one, it was pat from the
chair, and carried unanimously.
Mr. BENNETT proposed and Mr. HARVEY seconded a
resolution to the effect, " That the following amended
prospectus, setting forth the amount of increased capital,
the present acting committees of management in Lon-
don and Australia, and the immediate objects of the
company, be adopted, published, and circulated."
The resolution was carried unanimously, and the
draft of 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 zeal 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. ELLIS seconded the motion, and took the oppor-
tunity of passing a warm eulogium epon the heads of
the executive staff which had gone out to the colony.
Tao motion was carried by acclamation, and the chair-
man having briefly acknowledged the compliment the
meeting terminated.

one night bored holes in almost
every waterbutt in the town,
and left the inhabitants breakfastless. A correspondent of
