was to be received from premiums , assets was nearly £ 5 , 000 . 000 . Thirty years ago , instead of having a surplus fund , the losses exceeded the income , and , in consequence of not receiving any dividends , their property was depreciated nearly 50 per cent . It was now increased m value about the same ratio . Since their last meeting the junction with the Albion has been ^ earned out ; that operation has been successful ; the accounts of both offices has been scrutinised with the greatest possible minuteness ; and the results have been
satisfactory in every respect . The directors of the Agra and United oekvice Bank have announced an ad interim dividend on account of the current year , at the rate of 10 per cent , per annum . At the meeting of the shareholders of the Great Eastern steamship on Saturday , a resolution was agreed to , authorising the directors to issue 30 , 000 new shares . of £ 1 each , they being offered in the first instance to the present proprietors in the proportion of one to ten of their present holding . A proposal to accept the offer of Mr . Lever of £ 25 , 000 for chartering the ship for her first voyage was not acceded to , Opinions were very generally expressed in favour of the prospects of the great ship , and such confidence was felt hi the safety of the ship that a formal resolution was passed authorising the directors not . to take any steps for effecting an insurance on the vessel . ,
Mr . J . O . Lever , M-: P ., has sent in to the directors of the Great Ship Company a final proposal . He offers to charter the Great Eastern for 20 , OOOZ ., cash down , to coal the ship both ways , and _ to pay the port charges on both side 3 of the Atlantic . The "Victoria Dock Company held a meeting on Thursday . It appears that the falling off In the business of the half year had arisen from the diminished imports of guano . The accounts showed a balance of 7 , 3422 . 8 s . 3 d ., and a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent , was agreed to . .
The dividend declared at the meeting of the Southampton Dock . Compant was at the rate of 4 per cent , per annum , and the report and accounts were agreed to . The surplus to be carried to the credit of the next half-year is 783 Z .
