The St. Aubtn Mineral Company Has Been F...
The St . Aubtn Mineral Company has been formed for the purpose of working some celebrated mines of tin and copper in the west of Cornwall , and for crushing , dressing , and otherwise making marketable the ores and minerals obtained therefrom- A capital oj £ 60 , 000 in £ 1 shares is sufficient for the purpose , and , judging from the influential list of directors , and the reports of eminent -authorities with regard to the value of the property , there can be no doubt that the project will attract the attention-of . ' the public , and especially of those already engaged in mining enterprises . The seventh annual meeting of the Conservative Land Society was held at the offices , 33 , Norfolkstreet , Strand , on ' Tuesday , the 13 th inst .. Viscount Itaneliigh in the chair , who submitted the report of the executive committee with the annual balancesheets . The returns for the financial year showed a total of 711 new shares , and cash receipts of £ 49 , 022 18 s . lOd . ; making a grand total of 15 , 093 shares , and £ 407 , 973 14 s . 5 < 1 . The increase of cash receipts in the year is £ 2 , 629 11 s . 8 d . The increase on the Michaelmas quarter , as compared with tlie corresponding one of 1858 , amounts to £ 6 , 022 11 s . 8 d . Under the head of income there is an increase for the year of £ 456 19 s . 10 d ., whilst the expenses have decreased to the extent of £ 1 , 435 13 s . 5 d . The total sale of land has been £ 228 , 117 2 s . 6 d . The committee decided upon postponing the allotment of the Koehampton Park estate until the present financial year , the reserve fund enabling the board to take this course . Owing to the gratifying position of affairs , the interest , raised at Lady Day last from 4 to 5 per cent , on shares , and from 3 to 4 per cent , on dej > osits , will be continued at the increased rate . The directors of the Great Ship Company have circulated what they call an ' approximate statement of the liabilities and assets of the company : " The statement shows that the cash balance is reduced to £ 1 , 100 , and that this , together with £ 7 , 242 —" arrears of calls considered good " ( in respect of ¦ which the shareholders would be glad to know who are the persons in arrear)—formed , until a day or two ago , the only resources available for meeting liabilities to the amount of £ 45 , 000 . The official circular now intimates , however , that , " It will be satisfactory to the shareholders to know that one of the objects for which the meeting of the 15 th inst . has been postponed has been satisfactorily obtained , arrangements having been entered into to meet all the engagements of the company . " This paragraph refers to the mortgage of the ship , a transaction which , the shareholders regard with any feeling but one of " satisfaction . " Shareholders in the ritoviNCiAr . Bask of Tuej , A > r > may receive on the 16 th January a dividend for the half-year ending Christmas at the rate of 4 per cent ., and also an extraordinary dividend of £ 1 10 s . per £ 100 share , and 12 s . per £ 10 share . The report of the directors of the Soi-tji Australian ( Land ) Company , states that , notwithstanding the discouraging prospects of the past year , the company ' s affairs have continued slowly but steadily to improve . The rental for eight months , up to the 30 th of June , shows a total of £ 26 , 9-10 ; being an increase of £ 320 . The company's total outlay for wharves is £ 54 , 872 , which now yields an annual -return of nearly 12 per cent . The trnde of Tort Adelaide is believed to be recovering , and the state of the colony is described as steadily improving in all respects , " and betokoning confidence- a . ? to the future . ' The lmlf-yeaf ' s dividend , nt the rate of 7 pur cent ' , per annum , due the 31 st inst ., as declared in June last , will he payable on the 14 th prow Thu annual meeting pf shareholders in the London and "Westminster Bank is called for Jan . 18 tli . Tlio prospectus of the Universal Maujnu IneuHANcii Company has been issued . Tlio capital is ¦ fixed at £ 1 , 000 , 000 , in £ 20 shares . Steps have been adopted to secure the services of an innlerwritor of " acknowledged experience and high a landing . " Tho board consists of Messrs . John IJ . Dillon , 8 . Pinto Loittf , Harvey Lowis , John Lubbock , the banker , Henry Woodfull , of Liverpool , M . Uuborne , Alfrod Kicardo , and Z . C . Tom-son ; and Additions ara to 1 ) 0 mndo to it .

ELECTRICAL- INFLUENCE IN HEALTH AND DISEASE . Just published , price Is .,, free by post for 13 stamps . SECOND LIFE ; Or Electrical Nervous Force : A Medical Work intended for the special perusal of all who are suffering from the various modes of nervous and physical debility , and the distressing ulterior consequences to which they lead ; with practical observations on the great curative power of electro-galvanism in the treatment of these disorders , by infusing tone and vigour in constitutions relaxed or debilitated from various enervating causes . Illustrated with cases compiled from the Note-book of a Registered Medical Practitioner of twenty years' standing . . Unlike many vaunted restoratives , electricity is one which commends itself , to the medical man as being accordant with the soundest teachings of physiology . By the most obvious indication it admits of being shown that the electrical and nervous energies are identical ; hence , that , when the latter fails , the former can take its place , and that when , from irregularities of any kind , the nervous system has become debilitated , paralysed , or exhausted , and the patient brought to a ' conditition little short of total prostration , then by the action of electricity , imparting certainty and efficacy to medical treatment , he can be re-invigorated , and his health re-established to a degree almost warranting the designation of Second Life . Published by the author , and may be had of Mann , 39 , Cornhill , and all booksellers , ' ¦¦ . .
