tion of the number of directors to three. Another
Act was also accepted and approved, for enabling
the company to capitalise the arrears of interest due
on the preference shares. It was stated that the
arrears would be capitalised up to Sept. 29 last ; and
the proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to
the chairman and directors.

RAILWAY AND OTHER COMPANIES,

BUFFALO AND LAK HURON,

The half-yearly general meeting of this company
was held yesterday at the London Tavern—Mr. P.
Rawson in the chair.

The report, an abstract of which has appeared in
The Sun, was taken as read.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said that the net profits arising to the com-
pany, under the agreement, were still considerably
below the amount requisite to pay the total obliga-
tions of the company, still the net receipts showed
considerable progress, and there appeared to be a
balance on the half-year beyond the amount pay-
able for interest on debentures, which was so far
satisfactory. He was afraid the holders of prefer-
ence shares would suffer considerable disappoint-
ment from not receiving anything for their outlay.
They had, however, for the first time, arrived at a
point that any further progress must leave some-
thing for the preference shares, andafford them some
return. In reference to the payment of interest on
the several classes of bonds for the past half-year,
there was a small surplus which might, if available,
be applied towards arrears on the preference shares,
but for the year ending the 30th June last it would
be found the average profits fell short of the amount
required to pay the interest on the bonds ; they were
£37,000, while the amount required to pay the in-
terest of those bonds was about £39,000, so that,
taking the year, there was no surplus to deal with,
but a small debit to provide for after paying the in-
terest on the several mortgages and coupon bonds.
The fixed burdens of the company before anything
could go to the ordinary shareholders amounted to
£68,400 a year, or £34,200 for the half-year. The
first, second, and third bonds would require £40,000
per annum, in addition to which the capitalised cou-
pons for two years' arrears of interest would require
£4,250 per annum. The interest on the first preference
shares would amount to £10,500, and on the second
preference shares to £13;650, making £68,400 per
annum in round numbers, but to that sum the interest
on the arrears (£80,000) due on preference shares
which the directors proposed to capitalise would add
£4,200, making thefull amount of interest and pre-
ference charges £72,600 per, annum, or £36,300 per
half-year, before the ordinary shares could get any-
thing. The present net income of the company
averaged about £50,000 a year, and looking to the
progress they had already made, he thought they
might look forward to a time when they should be
able to meet the whole of those preference charges,
and have a surplus. The traffic on the Grand Trunk
of Canada had increased year after year, and as the
Buffalo Company participated in a certain percent-
age of the net receipts of the joint concern, there
would be something for the ordinary stock of the
company sooner or later. The abrogation of the
Reciprocity Treaty with the United States had dis-
turbed the course of trade in Canada ; they bad
been shut out of certain American markets, and they
would have to find new outlets for their traffic to
compensate them for the loss of the American mar-
kets. It was believed that an intercolonial traffic
would arise, and that the confederation of the British
provinces would be accelerated by the cessaof
that treaty. Owing to the continuance of wet wea-
ther in July and during the harvest time in Canada,
the crops were in such a condition that the railway
traffic might suffer to some extent, butit was sup-
posed that the loss of traffic i
tnra some places would
be fully compensated by new ffic in other place
The long negotiation with the Grand Trunk of
Canada Company
for the settlement and apportion-
ment of certain charges was nearly concluded, so
that in future the accountants would be enabled to

Liverpool seller of cotton had a very great •grievanee
during the time the rate of discount was at 10 per
cent. Many people—himself among the rest—were
regularly in the habit of buying bills in Liverpool at
the best terms they could get, and handing these
bills to the sellers of cotton at 5 per cent., so that if
he paid 8i per cent. for them, he pocketed the 82
per cent. difference. That was a grievance the Liver-
pool merchant had a very good right to complain of.
He had been told, on Liverpool authority, that dur-
ing the exceptional time of the 10 per cent. rate for
money, spinners had taken their cash down to Liver-
pool to pay for their cotton, and that certain brokers
had been in the habit of receiving that cash and
going into the open market and buying bills at 8 or
9 per cent. and then pocketing the difference.
(" Shame.") That was deserving of reprobation.
Certainly, if a spinner took his cash to Liverpool he
had a right to that, and no broker had a right to •
take his cash and go into the market to buy bills
and pocket the difference. This new arrangement
would stop all that, because bills would not be a
tender for cotton except at the Bank rate of the day.
The discussion then dropped, the PRESIDENT ob-
serving that he would adopt the suggestion of Mr.
Dorrington to call a special meeting on an early day.

(From a Correspondent of the Morning Post.)
STOCKHOLM, Oct. 20.
The Prussian annexation proceedings in Germany
and the Duchies now attract so much notice that it
may not be amiss if the King of Prussia and Count
von Bismarck should turn their attention to this
united kingdom, where they would see that, after
more than 50 years have elapsed since the great
Powers of Europe sanctioned the junction of the two
States of Sweden and Norway under one sovereign,
there has never yet been formed that complete union
between them about which every successive King
has been increasingly anxious, though it was long
before either the Swedes or the Norwegians could
be persuaded to take any step that was in the least
likely to promote the object of the Court in this
matter.. It is only now, indeed, that there is at last
some prospect of the leading men in both countries
being disposed to enter on the consideration of a more
intimate union, and this may, perhaps, be traced to
the joyful demonstrations that were made in both on
the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the connec-
tion formed between them in 1814, while the objec-
tion of the Norwegians may likewise have been, to
some extent, overcome by the abolition of the
former antiquated constitution of Sweden, and
the adoption of another, which, though not quite
so free as that which they enjoy, nevertheless bears
to it some striking features of resemblance. But
to whatever causes the change of feeling in this
respect may be attributed, there is now good
evidence that there is a disposition in both coun-
tries to have the pact by which they have
hitherto been united carefully revised, with a view
to' such alterations being made in it as may be
agreeable to the people of both States ; and
as there is reason to believe that the committee
appointed for this purpose have, at the meetings
held since their appointment, evincad a willingness
to bear reason on both sides, this augurs well for
the success of their labours, though this may in a
great measure be owing to the judicious selection of
the members of that committee, Swedes as well
Norwegians, who are men of high standing and
repute, and who in other matters have afforded
abundant proof alike of their patriotism and ability.
This will at once be admitted by all who know any-
thing of northern statesmen, when it is found that
for her representatives Sweden has Count Sparre,
Count Lagerbjelk, M. Bildt, M. Berg, Professor
Svedelins, M. Bjiirck, and M. Erik Ersson, en
behalf of the peasants ; while the interests of Nor-
way are committed to M. Vogt, M. Saxland, M.
Meinich, Major-General Irgens, Professor Asche-

hong, M. Platow, and M. Ueland as the representa-
tives of the peasant order, having M. Strandberg as
the Swedish, and M. Sehlytter as the Norwegian

It may therefore be truly said that the passing of
the new constitutional law for Sweden is already
bringing forth good fruits ; and such is the case
not only as to this Norwegian question, but the

opinion daily becomes mare general that when
the new Chambers first met it will be seen that
the political interests of the country could not

have been entrusted to better keeping. Nor will
those who formerly sat in one or other of the
four previous Chambers find themselves excluded
from those that have superseded them, for out of
the 177 members of the second Chamber already

returned, 92 were members of the old Diet, of
whom 36 sat for town, and 56 for rural consti-
tuencies, while the agricultural interest will con-
tinue to be 'well represented, as it is estimated that
nearly two-thirds of the members of the Lower
House will be more or less connected with the
country, and not more than one-third with the
cities and towns throughout the kingdom ; and as
an opinion is very prevalent that agriculture is one
of the main stays of Swedish prosperity, that, it is
thought, will be the better promoted the more
largely that interest is represented in the national
Legislature. It should, however, be remarked that
although the country gentlemen and peasants
reckon on having a predominating influence in the
new Parliament, there are many members whose
information on various subjects will be most useful,
among whom may be reckoned six clergymen,
twelve professors and teachers, one physician, one
apothecary, seven soldiers, and five, at least, who
have already acquired a name and fame in the
walks of literature and science.

The season is so far advanced that visitors from
more southern climes think it is time to turn their
steps homewards. The stay of the Prince and
Princess Frederick of the Netherlands, with their
daughter the Queen of Sweden, has therefore al-
ready been brought to a close. Their royal high-
nesses were accompanied on their departure by her
Majesty as far as Laxa, but the King went with
them to the port of embarkation at Ystad, as .his
Majesty intended to enjoy at the same time a few
days sport at Charlottenlund, the property of

has to be appointed, that no delay may at any time
such an absence as that, a Provisional Government
occur in the discharge of the many and important
functions of royalty.
But, whether the King is present or absent, the
Government are not idle, for they do not know in
the present circumstances of the continent of
Europe, where " might alone seemstogiveorfigarhmcs'

the country is in a proper state of defence on all

Now that the great Scandinavian exhibition has
been closed, the universal desire here is that it
should be kept in remembrance by some suitable and
useful memorial, for which purpose there is a general
wish that the fountain of Malin, which was one of its
greatest ornaments, should be permanently erected
on the site. A subscription has accordingly been set
on foot to provide the requisite funds, and it issatis-
factory to know that it bids fair to realise the
amount wanted ; but other means are likewise re-
sorted to, among which is a monster concert in the
exhibition building, at which there is to be a choir
of 1,000 voices, includingthe studentsfrom Upsala,
who have volunteered their services on the occasion,
and, as no pains have been spared to render it suc-
cessful, little doubt is entertained as to the result.
