on the favourable character of the proceedings at the meetings of the
two companies which have been held here this day. A new issue 01
shares will be made to the holders in the proportion of 114 new shares
to every.existing share ; upon which new issue a dividend of 6 per
cent. is guaranteed (1. e, upon the amount from time to time called
up), with a prospect of a greater dividend in tt e event oflhere being
a surplus, after paying the usual dividend of 9 per cent. on the shares
already Issued. A Lew issue to the York and North Midland share-
holders will be made in the proportion atone new share to every 50/.
shares, upon which there is also a guarantee of 6 per cent until the
amount is called up. North British stock has changed hands to a
considerable extent, at somewhat improved prices; but there was a
preponderance of sellers at the close. Berwicks have slightly im-
proved, in consequence of a promised new issue of shares, and of the
intended amalgamation with the York and Newcaztle on equal terra

FRIGHTFUL STEAM- BOAT A CCIDENT.-011 Satur-
day evening, about half-past six o'clock, the Citizen
steamer G was on her way down the river, making her last
passage from. Chelsea to London-bridge, and in avoiding
a collision with a wooden steamer, ran foul of the float-
ing engine of the London Fire Establishment, moored
on'. the south. west side of Southwark-bridge. One
of the paddle-wheels was shattered by the collision, and
the steamer slewed round, and before the funnel could
be lowered it came in contact with the arch of the
bridge, and fell upon the deck with a tremendous
crash. A lady named Kent, the wife of a gentleman
residing in Greenwich, who was seated on the middle
of the deck near the steam-chest, was knocked down by
the funnel, which struck her over the head and face, and
mutilated her in a most dreadful manner. The steamer's
engines and machinery were completely disabled by the
violence of the shock, and the vessel was brought up in
the middle until another steamer came to her assistance
and towed her to London-bridge, where Mrs. Kent was
landed and conveyed is a cab to the home of her mother,
where she has_ since, remained, and we regret to add,
that she is in a most precarious condition,
