UNION STEAMSHIP COMPANY.—At a meeting
held to-day of the shareholders of the Union Steamship
Company, the following report was submitted;—The
directors beg to present to you the usual annual accounts,
made up to the 31st August last, together with their report
In their last report the directors stated that they had
entered into a contract to carry the mails between the
Mauritius and Ceylon. This service was commenced in
July last, and has been performed with punctuality up to the
present time. It is, however, too early to judge of the
value of this contract, but the directors believe that this
extended service will materially benefit the Cape and
Mauritius lines, and will afford a regular and increasing
through traffic to India. The Cape and Mauritius service
has been performed with the usual regularity during the
past half-year, and without accident or casualty of any
kind ; and although the late financial distress at the Cape
colonies has had its influence on the trading operations of
this company, the directors are enabled to recommend the
p ayment of a diyidend of £1 per share.
