tulating the Proprietary upon the projected South Wales
Railway. It would pass through the centre of the Co n-
pany's works at Cwm Avon and Port Talbot, and greatly
facilitate the transit of its productions. The operations of the
Company in the past year were as follows :—At Swansea they
had raised 46,476 tons of coal, 21,535 tons of which they had
consumed. In the works they had smelted and refined
1,625 tons of copper. At Cwm Avon they had raised
58,188 tons of coal at the old collieries, 54,718 at Oakwood,
and 27,361 atßrun; making a total of 140,267 tons; of
which they had consumed 96,895 tons, and sold 45,487. The
quantity of iron produced:from Cwm Avon and Oakwood fur-
nacea had been 8,070 tons. These works had made 42,431
boxes of tin plates, and smelted and refined 2,269 tons of
copper. The Board concluded their address by stating that
the Court of Assistants had resolved upon declaring a divi-
dend at the rate of Si. per cent. per annum upon the paid-up
capital of the Company, payable, free of income-tax, on and
after the 14th inst.

The speech was adopted, and ordered to be printed and
circulated amongst the Proprietors, on the motion of Mr.
GOODHEART, seconded by Mr. MASON.
Mr. WARREN asked whether it would not be advisable,
under existing circumstances; to increase their operations in
regard to iron ? It was calculated that there would be a de-
ficiency of half a million of tons if the present railway projects
were carried out.

The GOVERNOR told the Hon. Proprietor that his suggestion
had been anticipated by the Directors, who were at present
directing their attention to the point of raising more iron.
Mr. Abel Lewis Gower was then elected Governor, and Mr.
John Nix, Deputy Governor; and the following gentlemen
were appointed Assistants : Messrs. Alston, Enthoven, Ken-
nard, Lawrie, Little, Logan, Miedonnell, Moorsom, Paull,
Pelly, Ricketts, Ricketts, Vigurs, and Walters.
Thanks were then voted to the late Governor, Deputy
Governor, and Assistants for their past services on behalf of
the Company, and the Court broke up.

The affairs of Switzerland are exciting some apprehensions
on the part of at least the more timid holders of stock. But
in the opinion of the more bold, and perhaps we may add
reckless speculators, the affair is looked up to with some de-
gree of inattention.
As to the Oregon Boundary question, the Bear party in the
Stock Exchange is little concerned as to the result ; still,
under all circumstances, politics are not considered to look
quite so buoyant as they were a month or so ago.
There are not any arrivals of importance from the British
Colonies this morning.
A fair amount of business has been transacted in the public
Securities to-day. Consols are rather lower, the price for
Money being 99%, and the same for the Account. All the
other Stocks have varied in about the same proportion. Ex-
chequer-bills are not quite in so good a demand.
There is scarcely any business doing in the Foreign Secu-
rities, which are nominally at about previous rates. Spanish
Active Bonds have been marked 30% to %, and the Three
per Cents. 40% %. Buenos Ayres have been 421/. Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been marked 63, and the
Four per Cents. 97 to 97%.
A very extensive business is doing in Railway Shares,
