sued, which was not concluded when this report
left.

Steam Ship Company the repurt stated that the
Postmaster• General had accepted the company's
tender for a new contract for carrying on the Cape
of Good Hope postal service for a period of seven
years. The operations for the past year had b.,en
highly satisfactory, and the earnings enabled the
directors to recommend a half-year's dividend of
20s. per share. The report was unanimously car-
ried, and the dividend declared payabie on and after
the 4th April next.
