EASTERN ARCHIPELAGO COMPANY.

At a meeting of this company, held yesterday, a divi-
dend and bonus of 101. per share was declared, and the
report was unanimously adopted. It was explained by
the chairman (Mr. H. H. Lindsay) that Si. per share is
fairly divisible from the net revenue of the year, and that
the bonus is derived through a free gift made by Mr,
Wise, the founder of the company, of a number of
shares which have been realised. It is considered ex-
pedient, however, to make calls, so as to bring the
subscribed amount up to 301. per share ; and it was
therefore proposed that the proprietors should consent
to the 101. now to be distributed being appropriated in
part payment of these calls, leaving 51. per share to he
paid at a future period. The present capital is 76,3451.,
of which 46,3451. consists of calls paid in advance. With
regard to the progress of the undertaking, it was stated
that the coal raised shows a steady increase, and that a
contract has been entered into with the Peninsular and
Oriental Company to supply them with further quan-
tities. It is estimated that the produce from the mines of
Lahuan and the main land of Borneo will shortly reach
15,000 tons per month, no check being apprehended
from a scarcity of labour, and that with this increase
the requirements of the English, Dutch, Spanish, and
American steamers can be adequately provided. Ship-
ments are also contemplated to the coast of the Pacific
to meet the large demand for smelting and other opera-
tions. Annexed is the revenue account for the year
ending the 30th of June, 1854 :
To export charges on coal, freights, &c £15,177 16 9
To portion of expenses, estimated at 10s. per
ton, for r.Lising 22,400 tons of coal 11,220 0 0
