from Brazil, with £93,254, and the Donau has
arrived with £9,388, making a total of £217,322.

The Anglo-Austrian Bank has announced the
payment of the dividend coupon No. 7, due Ist
July next, on and after that date.
It is notified that the coupons due on the Ist
July next of the 7 per Cent. Debentures of the Cen-
tral Argentine Railway Company will be paid oa
presentation at the London and Westminster Bank,
Lothbury.
A prospectus has been issued of the Great North.
ern Telegraph Company by Messrs. C. and J.
Hambro and Son, to be constituted under Danish
law, with limited liability, for the purpose of amal-
gamating into one system and working under a
single management the five cable lines which are to
give communication between this country and
Russia, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, as well as
between these countries themselves, and of which
three are already working. The capital is to be
£400,000, in shares of .£lO, but only £lOO,OOO i 3 to
be subscribed in London, the whole of the remainder
having been already taken, chiefly at Copenhagen.
The concessions give exclusive privileges for 30
years, when the lines will still belong to the
companies, and the Russian concession further
provides a subvention of If. on the greater number
of messages transmitted by it. In this country the
several lines are at present worked by the United
Kingdom Telegraph Cotnpary under an agreement
recognised by the Post-office, and which will be
maintained on the transfer of that company to the
Government.
The South Eastern Railway traffic return shows
this week a decrease of £1,122, compared with the
corresponding period of last year, and the Brighton
a decrease of £839.

The traffic return of the Great Western Railway
of Canada for the week ending the 25th inst. shows
an increase of £1,978 over last year.
The directors of the National Steamship Com-
pany (Limited) have declared an interim dividend
of 102. per share on the original, and ls. on the pre-
ferential shares, free of income tax, being at the
rate of 10 per cent. per annum.
Various questions are believed to be under con-
sideration at the Bank of England in connection
with suggestions from the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer for giving increased facilities to the public
with respect to the times and modes of their receipt
of the dividends. Meanwhile a statement has been
circulated that Mr. Lowe has under consideration
" offers from two joint-stock banks to undertake
the duty at half the sum now paid to the Bank.'
It would be matter of interest in the city to learn
the names of these bold establishments. Doubts
are entertained as to the likelihood of any of the
old and respectable ones having made such an offer,
and if the proposals of inferior concerns are to be
taken " under consideration," it may be appre-
hended the Government will before long be called
upon to give similar attention to offers of perform-
ing all its own functions, from .those of a Cabinet
Minister downward, at a cost not exceeding a tenth
part of that at present incurred.
