_tlAt a meeting of the shareholders of the Hercules

According to the past half-year's accounts of the
South Eastern Railway Company a total net profit
ra shown of £228,087, of which £105,249 is avail-
able_ for dividend. The directors recommend a divi-
dend at the rate of 21 per cent. per annum, writing

The directors of the Salisbury and Yeovil Ral-
wa
peryreco onmamenomda dividend at the rate of 51 per

Advices from Alexandria state that the lowness
of the Nile this year is a subject of general atten-
tion. It is asserted that a few days ago it was
lower than it has ever been for 150 years, and this
if!. doubtless correct, for the height of the Nile is
most accurately observed and noted. On the other
hand, there is no apprehension for the cotton crop ;
but, on the contrary, the general appearance of the
Plant is more favourable than at any time since the
Year 1863-64, the last large crop.
The Continental Union Gas Company (Limited)
have announced an issue of new shares to the ex-
tent of £200,000, the renewal of some of the con-
cessions, and the modifications of others, since the
formation of the company in 1864, combined with
the largely increased demand for gas, having re-
quired a considerable additional outlay.
The liquidator of the General Estates Company
(Limited) has declared a first dividend of 2.3 3d. in
the pound.
The resignation of the Portugues Ministry is un-
derstood to have been consequent on the measure
proposed for the settlement of the claims of the
English shareholders in the South-Eastern Rail-
way of Portugal. For two years these shareholders
have endeavoured to obtain an arrangement, but
every expectation held out to them has from time
to time proved delusive. At length a proposal was
agreed to which, although far short not only of
their rights, but also of the terms on which previous
Cabinets had declared them to be entitled, would
have been regarded as satisfactory, looking at the
Peculiar circumstances of the case. But this pro-
Posal, while it passed the Lower House by a small
majority, seems to have been made the ground
ofco country, which
of censure by the Peers, and the
try,
which appeared to be on the eve of
regaining a position on the European money-
markets, is again thrown back into discredit. Had
the measure been passed, a rather large Portuguese
loan would at once have been introduced here with
a fair prospect of success, but any such negotiation
i 8 now out of the question. According to the latest
reports from Lisbon, the Duke of Loule, uncle to
the King and leader of the Constitutional Liberal
party, was expected to form a new Cabinet. The
Duke was Prime Minister when the concession for
the South-Eastern Railway of Portugal was granted,
and his repute as an honourable man is too high to
admit of a belief that, should he accept office, he will
dol° on the condition of carrying out a policy of
spoliation.
At an extraordinary general meeting of the Bri-
tish Colonial Steamship Company a resolution was
Passed for the voluntary winding up of the com-
