the lease, which commences before the Chan
celor on Tuesday. In the meantime the
directors OF the JOINT roads have met and declared
o dividend OF three per cent for the half year. which
Is held by many to be to aid the leasing. The
bait OF ten per cent per annum Is held out to gam
sonverts TO the lease, while the opponents ask
where the security that the ten cent will be

directors respecting the lease, and whichever

certain that much OF the unanmy that used TO
mark the proceedings OF the Great Tams OF the Cam
