MID-KENT.

Yesterday the half-yearly general meeting of this corn,
pany was held at the offices. Duke-street, Westminster
Mr W. A. Wilkinson in the chair.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
said that he had only to congratulate the shareholders upon
the passing of the bill for the amalgamation of the concern
with the South-Eastern Company. The terms of the agree-
ment must be deemed highly satisfactory to both parties,
especially to the South-Eastern Company. He had also to
congratulate them upon the opening of the Addiscombe Ex-
tension, and the dividend which it was proposed to pay,
Mr L. SnirsoN seconded the motion, which was unani-
mously agreed to.

The dividend of 31 per cent, for the half year was de-
clared, and thanks to the chairman and directors closed the
proceedings.

STOCKTON AND DARLINGTON.

The half-yearly meeting of this section of the North,
Eastern Company was held at Darlington yesterday, Col
Stobart in the chair,

The report of the committee stated that the amount avail-
able for this section was sufficient to pay a dividend of S per
cent, per annumfon the ordinary shares, and leave a sum to
be carried forward of £2,893. There was also the balance
of £15,989 on share premiums remaining untouched. The
general working of the traffic had proceeded satisfactorily
in every respect, and the prospects of the undertaking as
now united gave promise of continued prosperity.
In reply to questions, it was stated that the debt due by
the Consett Iron Company amounted to £loo,ooo—that in-
terest upon the original debt had not been paid, but went
to make up that amount—that the Iron Company had
been reconstituted as a limited liability company—that the
railway company hold shares in the now company to the
amount of their debt, and that there was every reason to
suppose that the loss, if there was any, would be very
small. The capital of the company would shortly be called
up, and then the position of the company would be more
settled.
The proceedings then terminated.

ROYSTON AND HITCHIN.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes-
terday at the office, Gracechurch-street ; Major W.
Amsirch in the chair.

Mr J. C. Janson, the secretary, read the notice conven-
ing the meeting, and attached the common seal of the com-
pany to the register of proprietors.

On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, it was resolved that a
dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, less income
tax, and ld. per £6 58. stock for expenses of management,
be declared on the Royston, Hitchin, and Shepreth conso-
lidated stock for tho half-year ending the Ist inst., and be
paid forthwith.

The retiiing directors, Sir R. W. Carden and Mr J.
Cobb°ld, M.P., were then unanimously re-elected, and the
proceedings terminated.

ELY AND NEWMARKET.

A meeting was held at Bury St. Edmun.cl'a, on Friday,
to consider this project. The Mayor (Mr H. Le Grice)
presided. Resolutions were adopted to' the effect that the
project deserved the cordial support of the town. The town
council and members for the borough were requested to
support the undertaking, and the Great Eastern Company
was also solicited to afford all practical facilit es for its
development.

Trial Trip of the Connector,

A steamship constructed upon a novel principle
made its trial trip yesterday from Tilbury down the
Thames, and up the Medway to Chatham, with very
satisfactory results. The mode in which the ship is
constructed is in effect that of a train of vessels,
each connected closely together by a bolt, which
can be removed at pleasure, and each of the sections
or parts, when disconnected, becomes separate and
distinct vessels fitted with masts and rigging,
and may be readily provided with steering
apparatus. The object which the inventor has in

view in this mode of construction is to afford greater
facilities for the cheap carriage of coal. It is con-
tended that by the use of the "connector" consider-
able saving may be effected, inasmuch as on arriv-
ing at the port of discharge the
,more expensive
parts of the ship, that containing the engines and
accommodation for the officers and crews, may be
detached and started immediately on the return
voyage while the hulk is being discharged. By the
time the return portion of the ship has reached a
northern port it will find the other sections ready
laden, and on being connected with the propelling
part may at once start on its voyage. In this man-
ner one steam engine and one set of officers may be
made to do the work of three colliers—one will be
loading, another unloading, and a third making the
voyage. In addition to the advantage in point of
economy, it is claimed for the invention that its
motion is much easier than in ordinary vessels, as
the point of connection between the different sec•

tions enables it to follow the motion of the water.
It has also this further advantage, that heavy car-
goes, say of 1,000 tons, may be carried in ships of
the ordinary construction with an equal capacity
for cargo. The Connector, which made what is
called a "trial trip" yesterday, had already been
tested over upwards of 4,000 miles of ocean naviga-
tion, and has been found in both these respects fully
to answer the expectations of its inventor. We
may speak confidently as to the easy motion of the
vessel yesterday, and of the entire absence of any-
thing like that vibration which is felt in all steam
vessels. It is proposed to build colliers upon this
system which will carry 1,000 tons of coal, and the
promoters of a company which has just been formed
for the purpose of carrying out the invention speak
very confidently of the success of their enterprise.

DANUBE AND BLACK SEA.

The report of the directors states that the anticipations
expressed in the last report aro in the course of being real-
ized. The period now under review embraces the winter
months, during which the traffic is carried on under disad-
vantages peculiar to that season, and the trade of last win-
ter was found to be cramped by insufficiency of warehouse
accommodation. In addition to this the corn trade has
bees checked by the very low prices of grain in Western
Europe, and, concurrently with these, by the famine in
Hungary, which has diverted much of the Wallachian
grain from the markets for consumption in that country.
Notwithstanding these drawbacks the accounts, which
have been made up to the 31st of May, exhibit a clear
profit on working of £1,440, subject to payment of interest
on borrowed capital of £914, The working of each former
winter half yoar has been attended with loss, and it i. but
reasonable to expect a much higher rate of profit during
the current half year. Before the approach of next winter
the want of warehouse room will be to some extent supplied
by the completion of the smaller block of warehouses at
Kustendjie. Five-sixths of the warehouse room which
will be thus provided have already been engaged at re-
munerative rates by some of the largest houses connected
with the Danube trade. The prospects of the present har-
vest in the Principalities are reported to be excen
About 45,000 of the unfortunate Circassians have during the
last three months been carried over the line at low but
remunerative rates, under convention with the Turkish
Government, which has provided them with settlements on
the Danube.

OTTOMAN (SMYItNA TO AIDIN).
It appears that this company have just received the gua-
rantee from the Imperial Ottoman Government, as settled
in the accounts for the last financial year, in accordance
with the terms of the late concession. This concession fixes
the amount at £33,360, which is to be paid to the company
annually until the line is completed for traffic to Aidin, at
which period the guarantee upon the entire capital of
£1,781,000 (shares and debentures) will take effect.

TILE METRIC SYSTEM.—An Act of Parliament
has just been printed to render permissive the
metric system of weights and measures. It recites that for
the promotion and extension of our internal as well as our
foreign trade, and for the advancement of science, it is ex-
pedient to legalize the use of the metric system of weights
and measures. It enacts that, notwithstanding everything
Contained in any Act of Parliament to the contrary, no
contract or dealing shall be deemed to be invalid or open to
objection on the ground that the weights or measures ex-
pressed or referred to in such contract or dealing are
weights and measures of the metric system, er on the
ground that decimal subdivisions of legal weights and
measures, whether metric or otherwise, are used in such
contract or dealing. In a schedule annexed to the act the
equivalents of metric weights and measures aro set forth.

MONK LAND.

The report of the directors of this company states that
the traffic receipts for the half-year ending the 30th Juno
amounted to £13,867, and the working expenses and into-
rest to £23,183, leaving a net balance of £20,381, against
£16,066 for the corresponding half of 1863. There was a
progressive increase in the revenue derived from passengers
and goods, and the working. expenses were somewhat re-
duced, being 43.1 per cent. of the receipts. The directors re-
commended a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent, per annum
on the ordinary stock. The payment of this and the guaran-
teed dividends would absorb £18,051, leaving a balance of
£2,833 for the reserve fund, which would then amount to
£5,210. The improvements in the permanent way having
been nearly completed, the directors hoped to effect a re-
duction in this charge in future. Four engines had been
added to the working stock, and three more were lying
built. Those were required to work the additional mileage,
for which sufficient provision had not been previously made,
only one engine having been added to the stock since the
opening of the new lines of 18,57. An engine was also now
required for the Ballochney inclines, which were at present
worked by locomotive power instead of by wire rope as for-
merly. Seventy_four additional six ton trucks had been
added to the stock, and contracts had been entered into for
the supply of 133 more of similar capacity. By an arrange
ment entered into, the undertaking of this company was to
be amalgamated with the Edinburgh and Glasgow, receiv-
ing a guarantee of G per cent. dividend upon the ordinary
stock; and a bill to authorise this amalgamation would be
promoted ito the next e?Bdon. of Parliament. The capital

MID-KENT.

Yesterday the half-yearly general meeting. of this coin
pany was held at the offices. Duke-street, Westminster
Mr W. A. Wilkinson in the chair.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
said that he had only to congratulate the shareholders upon
the passing of the bill for the amalgamation of the conc,,rn
with the South-Eastern Company. The terms of the agree-
ment must be deemed highly satisfactory to both parties,
especially to the South-Eastern Company. He had also to
congratulate them upon the opening of the Addisoombe Ex-
tension, and the dividend which it was proposed to pay,
Mr L. SimrsoN seconded the motion, which was unani-
mously agreed to.

The dividend of 31 per cent, for tho half year was de-
clared, and thanks to the chairman and directors closed the
proceedings.

STOCKTON AND DARLINGTON.

The half-yearly meeting of this section of the North,
Eastern Compan7 was held at Darlington yesterday, Col
Stobart in the chair,

The report of the committee stated that the amount avail-
able for this section was sufficient to pay a dividend of S per
cent, per P.nnumfon the ordinary shares, and leave a sum to
be carried forward of £2,893. There was also the balance
of £15,983 on share premiums remaining untouched. The
general working of the traffic had proceeded satisfactorily
in every respect, and the prospects of the undertaking as
now united gave promise of continued prosperity,
In reply to questions, it was stated that the debt due by
the Consett Iron Company amounted to £loo,ooo—that in-
terest upon the original debt had not been paid, but went
to make np that amount—that the Iron Company had
been reconstituted as a limited liability company—that the
railway company held shares in the new company to the
amount of their debt, and that there was every reason to
suppose that the loss, if there was any, would be very
small. The capital of the company would shortly be called
up, and then the position of the company would be more
settled.
The proceedings then terminated.
