dividend would be passed, and also on account
of the probabilities that the Australian line
will be taken of after November next. II is
semi-oihcially stated, however, that the sus-
pension of the Australian service will be no
loss TO the company, as il has never made any
money from that route. The usual quarterly
divident of u per cent. was declared, after
the payment of which, it is stated. the COM
pany will have about 100000 on hand. The
