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 in 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 . ¦

He offers to charter the Great Eastern , for 20 , 000 ? ., cash down , to coal the ship both ways , and to pay the port charges on both sides of the Atlantic The Victoria Dock Company held a meeting on Thursday .

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 Sotjthametqn Dock Company was at the rate of
