The CHAIHMAN, in moving the adoption of the report and accounts, observed that the past twelvemonth had been one of severe trial and depression throughout the com mercial world, awl it was a matter of congratulation that the results in their case bad been leas formidable than might have been anticipated nine months ago. The business of the bank was proceeding satisfactorily, and no pees of the accounts called for any comment. In the caw of the robbery in Australia, an adverse verdict had been given against the bank to the extent of 10,000/4; bat that wa. against the ruling of the judge and the ease WAS under f res h argumen t i n a court of law at the date of the last accounts. The most recent advises extended to the %tli of November, and were such as fully to justify what he had said respecting the business of the bank. (Cheer.) Mr. R - . IG.ris wished to know what success had at tended the n Ceipt of money on deposit at interest! The Cu nail the expectations of the directors had been fully rtalieed. After some further discussion the report was adopted, and a diridr nd of V. 2s. CA., being at the rate of 17 per cent. per annum, having been declared, the proceedings temdeated in the usual manner. During the past few weeks the magnificent suite of rooms in the Castle at Dublin has been redecorated sad embelliallea, preparatory to the return of the Lord Lieutenant, and for the levees and drawintrooms of the corning season. The strike of operatives in Lancashire has tome to an ahnipt termination, and the men, 5,000 in number at Darwen alone, who on Thursday refused to procetd to work on the reduced terms, have inti mated their intention to return to their employment this morning. Similar decisions have been arrived at by the oper.ttives in other towns where a dispute was anticipated, the chief cause leading to this decision being apparently the unpreparedness of the trade societies of the men to grapple with a atntggle of the magnitude which this threat:n.l to become The operatives, whilst re. sliming work, have appointed deputations t: wait upon the employers to advocate shorter hours in preference to reduced wages. Accortliic4 to calculations by an experienced agri talturist, by the Timcs, the food question until nest harvest -it:mils as follows :—The annual consumption of wheat end flour in the ,17niteil Kingdom may be taken at l i;uarters, of which our average home growth is 12..11)0,111.11 quarters, and our average annual importation quarters. The crop of 186() is one-eighth defi tient,—namely, 1,500,000 quarters, leaving 8,000,1)00 quar ters to be imported between harvest 18,;1; and harvest 181 Z. The average annual cost of wheat and flour for the last three years has been (at 41s. per quarter) 37,925,(1101. ; and the prolialile cost of the current year's consumption (at . ..0.. per .0 rter) will 5:1,i):,0,500/., showing an excess of on of wiivat and flour beyond the average of three Pending o f 15,725,5031. This makes no allowance foe dintinisla-,1 consumption, as the higher price is inure than fast by the general high rate of wages ; and these trues apply to wheat and flour only, and do not include the increase of price on other descriptions of corn.

The building was occupied by Mr. Long, foreman of the carpenters, and his family. There are a number of water pipes laid on on the e mbankment, but owing to the intense cold they had become frozen, and this frustrated the endeavours of Long to extinguish the fire. Assistance having been procured the engines were sent for, but on their arrival smile time ei...pseil before water couldbe procured, the plugs bein,i completely bidden by the frost. In the meantime the fire continued to rage, and in its progress ignited two separate offices, als o composed of wood, used by the clerks of the works. Within an hour after the outbreak the three buildings were destroyed, and nearly the whole of Long's property sacrificed. During the progress of the Chandosaitrect land steam engine to the fire it came in contact with the pillar-box at the corner of NVellingtomstreet and broke it into pieces.

South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian, In j. MONEY MARKET.-(2111I8 DAY.) Oars &Owes. The transactions in public securities during the last fortnight having been very numerous, atten tion in the Stock Exchange is still chiefly directed to the settlement of the account. The arrangements aro proceeding very satisfactorily, notwithstanding the heavy losses sustained by some of the specu lators for lower prices. The chief sufferers are un derstood to be those who made large profits during the recent panic, by operations for a fall in banking, financial, and other shares. Consols have declined A per cent., but some of the British railway securities have advanced, the chief upward movement being in Great Eastern. Foreign stocks are inactive, and have scarcely varied. Amongst the financial shares, London Financial are in re quest, and have risen 1/. The discount market remains quiet, with a large amount of money seeking employment, and few bills offering. The rate for the best paper is 3 per cent. In the Stock Exchange short loans, on Eng lish Government securities, are obtainable as low as 1 per oent. Consols are now quoted 93,1 to 1, ex div., for money, and 9O to 91, ex div., for the 7th of February. Foreign stocks have been little dealt in, ana l prices generally are unchanged. Mexican Bonds are rather dull, but the reduction in them does not exceed k per cent. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 53k to 54k, ex div. ; ditto of 1865, 313 to 32 ; Greek, 14; to 3 ; Spanish Passive, 211 to 22; ditto Certificates, 14i to f ; Italian of 1861, 521 to 53, ex div. ; Mexican, 17; to 18; ; and Rus sian Scrip, I t t to 1 prem. American securities are in demand, at an im provement. The 5-20 Bonds have advanced 11 per cent., and Erie and Illinois Central Railway shares, 11. The present prices are : the 5-20 Bonds, 72/ to 73 ; Erie Railway shares, 44i to 45 ; and Illinois Central, 811 to 82. International Financial shares are quoted 2i; to 2i din. ; London Financial, 16 to 14 dis. ; General Credit, 1/ to 1 dia., ex all ; Credit Fonder, 51 to 5 dis. ; National Discount, 91 to 1 prem. ; and Hudson's Bay, 16 to it, ex div. The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders in the Union Bank of Ireland will be held on the 30th inst., when a dividend will be declared. The annual meeting of the North Bntish Aus tralasian Company is convened for the 29th inst., to receive the annual report and accounts. HALF-PAST THESE O'CLOCK. Consols are fractionally better, at 944 to 91, ex div., for money, and 91, ex div., for the account. About 14,000 sovereigns have been withdrawn from the Bank for Alexandria. At Paris this morning the Three per Cent. Renter opened at 69fr. 70c., showing no change of im portance. Of late rumours have been current that the Italian government is not likely to abstain long from announcing a new loan in the markets of London and Paris, and it is said that the church property lately sei zed by the state will be put for ward as special security. It is not believed, how ever, that the affair has yet assumed a definite shape. The Italian government will doubtless struggle on as long as it can without appealing to the market, and in the interval semi-official scribes will probably be as ready in Italy as they are in France to protest that the intention attributed to the government has no foundation in fact. The Suffolk has amved from Melbourne with 73,5001. in gold. The Master of the Rolls on Saturday made wind ing-up orders against the Eastern Assam Tea Com pany (Limited), the Aldborough Hotel Company (Limited), and the Hafod Hotel Company (Limited) The directors of the City Bank have just issued the following report, in anticipation of the general meeting fixed for the 15th inst. : The annexed statements of " liabilities and assets " and " profit and loss " show that, after payment of interest on current and deposit accounts, the gross profit' of the bank for the six months ending 31st December last, including the balance from the previous half-year, amount to 71,062/. 18a. bd. The directors therefore, after providing for the current expenses and rebate of interest on bills discounted but not yet due, declare the usual dividend of 6/. per cent. per annum, and a bonus of 4s. per share, together equal to 10 per cent. per annum, free of income tax. At the general meeting in July last the shareholders were in formed by the chairman that bed debts were depending not in a state to be then definitively adjusted. Under the protracted depreciation of mercantile securities these debts have proved more serious than was at that time anticipated ; and in order to entirely extinguish the loss, the directors very much regret that tt has been found ne cessary to trench materially on the reserve fund, a fund the primary object of which under the deed of settlement is to meet emergencies such as the pre sent The direc tors, however, feel confident, from the improved character and steady extension of their business, the surplus profits of the bank will enable them shortly to restore the reserve fund to its former amount. It may be satisfactory to the shareholders to know that the decrease in the item " to amount due by the bank on current and deposit accounts, bills payable, letters of credit, Lc.," does not arise from any falling off in the general business (which, on the con trary, has considerably increased), but simply from reduc tion of liability on bills payable. The business of the branches at Bond-street, Tottenham-court-road, and Lud gxte-hill continues to progress satisfactorily. The direc tors have much pleasure in stating that, subject to the usual confirmation, they have elected Mr. William bl'Arthur, of the firm of Messrs. W. and A. WArtdtur, to a seat at the board. The dividend and bonus will be payable at the bank on and after Tuesday, the 22nd instant. We are requested by the Economist to say that they much regret the substitution in their paper of Saturday of the name of the National Discount for that of the National Financial Com pany in a notice to creditors to send in their claims to the official liquidator for adjudication. The credit of the National Discount Company, however, stands too high to suffer any damage from this mistake. --------- The ordinary general meeting of the National Discount Company (Limited) is called fir the 23rd inst., to receive the directors' report and a state ment of accounts, and to declare a dividend. At a meeting of the National Bank of Austral asia, held at Melbourne on the Gth of November, a dividend of 10 per cent. was declared. The preparations on Saturday for to-morrow's settlement in the railway market showed that tho public have not been tempted to sell their railway property either by the sinister rumours lately cur rent, or by the recent marked rise in prices. The floating supply of stock was generally limited, in con sequence of which the rates of "continuation" were very moderate, while in some cases a small " back wardation" was even given for the loan of stock. On South Eastern, for example, there was a " backwardation" f 3-16 per cent. at the close.

The following resolutions were unanimously passed :—" That the report of the directors be received and adopted, and that they be requested to take all measures necessary to carry it into effect. That the agreement with the dissentient shareholders now laid upon the table be ratified and confirmed." SATERDAT EviiingC.

A very moderate supply of English wheat was on sale here to-day, in but middling condition. Although the tone of the trade was firm very little business was trans acted either in red or white samples, at last week's quo tath The show of foreign wheat was tolerably good. Even the finest qualities met .with • slow inquiry, at last )lundayb currency We were well supplied with both English and foreign barley. Fine samples moved off freely, at full quotations. grinding and distilling sorts were a slow inquiry, but not cheaper. Malt was in fair average supply, and sluggish request, on former terms. The supply of foreign oats was extensive. Good round parcels sold at full quotations; but inferior qualities were rather cheaper. Leans were very inactive, at late rates. The supply Was moderate. We have no change to notice in the value of peas. The demand was chiefly retail.--Flour was very trio, and in sonic instances prices had an upward tendency. For floating cargoes of wheat there was a fair demand, at full quotations.

There is a fair demand for the choicest descriptions, and there is scarcely a quotable reduction in the price of them. On the average, however, trade is scarcely as good as lest week. There is very little doing in the sheep market. The supply is good both as regards number and quality. Last Monday's quotations are barely maintained, and a clearance cannot be effected. Trade is dull for calves, at late rates. Our foreign supply consists of 1,711) beasts, 5,47,0 sheep, 118 calves, and 45 pigs.

Cowper. Sir Stuart was the son of the late Mr. Stuart Donaldson, an eminent merchant in London, by the daughter of Mr. John °ends's, of Snabgreen, Lan cashire, and brother of the late Dr Donaldson, of Cam bridge. The deceased gentleman was born in 1812. married the daughter of Mr. F. Cowper in 1854, and for upwards of twenty years was head of the mercantile firm of Donaldson and Co., Sydney, New South Wales ; from 1838 to 1859 he was • magistrate of New South Wales ; was elected member of council 1848, and sat in the council and aiecuibly till 15.'19. Sir Stuart formed the first ministry there responsible to parliament,in April, 18511 ; was member and vice-president of the executive council, first minister and colonial seem tam, subsequently colonial treasurer, a commissioner of railways in 1857, and one of the original fellows of the senate of the University of Sydney, from its foundation in 18:10. In 1855 ho was appointed consul-general of Sar dinia, and knighted by patent in ISQL THE PRODUCTION OF GOLD IN THE UNITED STATE.4.—The National 'Welk/enter gives the following estimate of the production of gold during the year 18611: " The value of the ' bullion in lumps bars, ingots or otherwise,' assessed during the fiscal year 18C1 , is given by the internal revenue returns at 81,:t89,541 dots. Of this amount 70,032,805 dole. was Jemmied iu the Pacific and Rocky Mountain States and Territories, and the re mainder chiefly in the Atlantic a:aboard cities. It is estimated that in the gold.produciug regions of the country at least 25 per cent. of the jinsluction escaped assessment, and that of the gold ame , sed in the Atlantic seaboard cities one-half is of domestic production. In view of these facts, and taking the internal revenue re turns as a basis of estimate the production of gull in the fiscal year !Mk', is calculated at 93.219,:q4 dole. The pro duction of gold in 18131 is estimated at 73,511 XS doll., an increase in 18GG of 19,473,015 Bola."

LONDON THEATRE-GOER:I.—SWIM ROlllaintance with the derma in general, some previous experience of the play-house, come knowledge of the names and persons even of the performers, are wanted for the full enjoy ment of the theatre. How many persons, in a modern English audieuce combine these qualifications, or indeed possess any of them! In former days when the theatres were few and regularly frequented by all classes the great majority in any given ainhenee would consist of habitual play-goers ; but at present it is probably the other way. The great bulk of the spectators are not residents in London, but are, so to speak, casuals from the country, and they bring nothing with them but the money paid for their places, and their own desire to be amused. The child's plasma in the first play can never be realised by a grown up (Mutant at the theatre ; and although some ignorance is bliss, it is not always folly to he wise. Yet we confess ones to have envied the innocence of a couple of people who sat in the pit at a performance of Roam and Joliet. They were evidently friends, and as the drop fell at the end of the first act, one of them oh. served to the other, " There seems to be a good deal of bad blood between those two families" These indeed were simple and reverent playgoers, forgetful of them selves, and absorbed by the interest of the piece, of whom more perhaps are to be usually found in the pit and galle ries of the more fashionable bowies, than in the stalls and boxes, where ignorance, coupled with conceit and frivo lity, may sometimes be seen in unabashed eelf.compla oenoy. Mr. Webster, in his evidence, says be has played to better audiences, and more discreet, at the Standard, City, and Surrey Theatres, than at the West-end. It is among the better-dressed past of the audience that there is the frequent remark, the foolish end ill-timed ques tion, and the perpetual chatter, which distract those who hays come really to see and hear the play, and not meroly to get through an evening. —eraser's Magathse for January. !rely lo,of ;e of -awn the ~ken ev,r, lily The At ation I by uself t.l to ttit; et he td in Until with 1g to . 5 at t the , and f an! {' I ~~ I J
