At The Adjourned Meeting Of The Sharehol...
At the adjourned meeting of the shareholders of the New Brunswick and Canada Railway and Land Company , the directors reported that they were willing to meet the suggestions of the committee by subscribing among themselves . £ 20 , 000 towards liquidating the liabilities of the undertaking provided the shareholders made up the remaining sum required for the purpose . They also , stated that they had found a contractor willing to complete the line , and who would take the Debentures of the company in payment .
The following half-yearly railway meetings are announced , viz . : —Wimbledon and Dorking , for the 22 nd inst . ; North London , for the 17 th inst . ; Norfolk , for the 30 th inst , ; East Kent , for the 26 th inst . ; Rhymney , for the 30 th inst . ; North . Devon , for the 24 th inst . ; and East Anglian , for the 2 nd September . An extraordinary general meeting of the Madras Railway Company is called for the 19 th inst .
At the meeting of the Metropolitan Railway Company , a report was presented stating that the deviation line had been sanctioned by Parliament , and that by that change the estimate was reduced to 850 , 000 / . It was now proposed to form the line from King ' s-crbss to Farringddn-street , and to abandon the portion from Victoria-street to the Post-office . It appeared that the company has still a balance of 89 , 7271 . in hand out . of the capital long since subscribed , and that the shares are now all taken up within one-seventh of the amount required . ' . ,
The dividend of the Blackball Railway , for the half-year ending the 30 th of June last , will beat the rate of 22 . 15 s . per cent , on the capital stock , which is equal to the dividend of 2 s . 9 d . per share , paid at the corresponding period of last year . The North London dividend is at the rate of 5 per cent , per annum , against the same paynient in the corresponding period of 1858 . The Quebec Morning Chronicle says that Mr . Keith , the general manager of the Grand Trunk Railway , who recently came out to occupy that place , vice Mr . Shanley , has resigned . It is added , that , having had an engagement for three years , at 2 , 000 ? . per annum sterling , he coupled his resignation with the condition that he should have the 6 , 0002 . paid up in full ; but that this matter was finally compromised by an engagement to pay 4 , 000 ? .
Russian Baijlwats.—The Russian Governmen...
Russian Baijlwats . —The Russian Government , as a telegram from St . Petersburg informs us , has authorised the construction of a railway connecting Moscow—that is to say , has sanctioned the extension of the already existing railway net—with the commercial town of Saratow on the Volga . This branch railway will be about five hundred miles in length . It has every chance of becoming highly important for the trade between Exirope and Asia . The Volga , down from Saratow to Astrachan on the Caspian , is navigable for steamers of considerable size , and these steamers may be so constructed as to be able to navigate the Caspian Sea too , and thus merchandise may reach Persia and Herat by this route quicker than by any other .
I \ rench Railways . —Tho Paris to Lyons and the Mediterranean Railway company have allocated a sum of l , 200 , 000 f . to be expended in public works during the last five months of the present year . The works of the railway frpm Paris to Vincennea are being carried on with increased activity . The last arch in Paris has been completed , and locomotives can now arrive a , t the terminus of the Bastille . A meeting was held at Bayonne a few days since of the Government engineers , and of those of the of
Southern Railway Company , to try the solidity the portion of tho railway which connects the terminus with tho Adour . The new road traverses the street and the Place St . TJrsulo , and makes its exit at the extremity of the quay near the bridge of the St . Esprit . A locomptive , drawing four waggons heavily laden with coal , passed over tho line traversing the curves with perfect aafoty . A plan of a circular railway has been proposed , to bo supported on pillars , and to traverse the streets of Paris .
Mineral Wealth Of Vim Kingdom. — We Gath...

S ,, just completed , that » the value pf the mineral wealth of the United Kingdom—that Sb , metalo , metalliferous minerals , and coal , xs thirtyone millions and a quarter sterling in 1868 , against twonty-flve millions in tho previous year . Tho quantity , of iron ore alone is stated at 8 , 0 * 0 , 059 tons , artditd value at 2 , 670 , 7012 . j of coal 65 , 008 , 649 tons were otjtftUied r of the value of 10 , 252 , 1622 . j and of iron 8 . 456 iO 04 tons , of tho vftlue of 10 , 713 , 798 ? .

JOINT STOCK COMPANIES .
At The Annual Meeting'of The Rotavinsura...
At the annual meeting ' of the RotavInsurance Company , held at Liverpool on Friday , the directors , report was favourably received . In the fire department the premiums for the year 1858 were stated at 196 , 1482 .-, being 66 , 088 ? ., or more than 50 per cent ., more than in 1855 . The fire premiums of the London branch have increased from 2 , 150 Z . in 1848 to 37 , 6817 . in 1858- The amount of new life premiums received in 1858 was larger than in any previous period , amounting to 12 , 3 . 542 ., and representing an aggregate of assurances of 387 , 752 / . A dividend of 3 s . per share , together with a bonus of 4 s . per share , was declared , free of income tax ; and a sum of 3 O , 000 Z . was ordered to be carried from the profit and loss account to the reserve fund , raising that fund to 140 , 850 ? . , ' At a meeting of shareholders in the Swiss Bank , held at the office of Messrs . Walter and Moojen , it was resolved that-the English directors be requested not to resign until the shareholders have had the opportunity of obtaining the annual report and any explanations that may be necessary . It was also resolved that one of the directors be requested to attend the approaching general meeting , to be held at Geneva on the 22 nd inst . A special general meeting of the Loxdo > ' Armoury Company is called for the 20 th inst ., to receive the report of the committee which was appointed on the 31 st March , charged " to inquire into the past management of the company , and any questions between Mr . Robert Adams and the company . " . At the annual meeting of the Life Association of Scotland , held at Edinburgh , a dividend of 8 per cent ., together with a bonus of 12 . 10 s . per share , was declared . During the year ending the 5 th of April last , 1 , 011 new policies were issued , representing 486 , 6392 ., and yielding 16 , 615 ? . annually in premiums . The gross annual income of the association is now 151 , 078 ? .
Russian "Lo-Xs.—Advices From St. Petersb...
Russian "Lo-xs . —Advices from St . Petersburg confirm the statement of the French journals that the arrangements for the issue of the Imperial Russian Three per cent . Loan of 1859 have been virtually completed . It may be remembered that the emission of the loan , which was about to commence at the end of April last , was stopped by order of the Russian Government , in consequence of the political complications of the time . The . St . Petersburg advices state that the contractors have now been authorised to proceed . It is , therefore , probable that the loan will be announced in London within a fortnight . That about to be brought forward is precisely the same as was announced in April last .
