TAMAR SILVER LEAD MINING

COMPANY.
The annual meeting of the Proprietors of this Company
was held yesterday at their rooms in Finsbury-spare.
Mr. Wimurrsorrhavinz taken the Chair attwa o'clock,
The Secretary, Mr. STAINSBY read over the report
for the year of the affairs of the Company. It. appeared
that their prospects had been gradually improving, and
a balance now remained in the hands of the Directors,
after payment of all expenses, amounting to 1,539/.165. 2d.
On the motion being put that the Report be adopted,
Mr. HERON wished to ask the Directors whether,
with such a balance, they might not declare a dividend
for the shareholders.
Some discussion took place upon the subject, the
Directors stating that they could not at present de •
dare d dividend, inasmuch as the payments had been
made to them in bills drawn for three months. They
had every reason, however, to hope, from the rapid im-
provement of their affairs, that they would be enabled
to make a dividend in the course of a few months.
The Directors subsequently pledged themselves that
a dividend of 3s. per share should be made on the Ist
of January next, provided their funds would admit of it,
or unless some unforeseen disappointments occurred.
Tt.e Report was then adopted, and a vote of thanks
having b3en passed to the Chairman, the meeting
separated.
