The report stated that the number of loaded ships from foreign ports which entered the docks during the half-year ending the 30th November last was 567, measuring 268,564 tons; the number of the corresponding period in 18(12, being 573, measuring 246,690 tons. The earnings during the ball-year amounted to 259,3361. Ss. 21, against 7.15,4201. Gs. 10d. in 1862. The expenditure. inclusive of debenture interest, was 168,534 f. Os. Ild., against 138,8141. On. 2d. in 1862. The interest on debentures. was 23,21.51. 3 a. Bd. &phut =8921. 194.11 d. in 1362. The balance of profit for the half-year amounted to 07,607!. Is. 7d. aga ins t 53,7131. 6s. 9d. in 1362. The profit and loss account for the half- year showed that the balance standing at the credit of profit and loss was 215,499/. 15s. tid., out of which the directors recommended the payment of a dividend of 11. 15e. per cent, on the com pany's stock for the half year, amounting to 66,7951. 14a. Id. The income tax would be deducted from the di vidend. The directors also recommended the pro- prietors to give authority that the sums standing in the company's general helium to the debit of new works and fire insurance expenses, amounting together to 75,316!. 2*. 3d. might be written off to the debit of profit and loss. The sum of 160,719/. 14. 4d. was due for outstanding charges on the goods in the warehouses. The stock of goods in the warehouses on the 30th November last was 127,857 toss ; at the same time in 1862 it was 124,6138 tons. In conclusion the report said, "The directors have to report to the proprietors that, in con formity with the authority given them at the special meeting of the company co the 17th November last, they have taken the necessary steps for obtaining parliamen tary sanction to the amalgamation of this company with the St. Katherine Dock Company, and the parched* of the Vic toria Docks, a bin to effect which has been duly prepared and lodged in the private bill once." The CHAIRMAN. in moving the adoption of the report, said he hoped it would convince the proprietors that the company was advancing steadily and progressively to some thing like the state of prosperity it once enjoyed. He was no prophet, sad made no promises, but he did not see any reason why they should content themselves with the dividends they had been receiving, and he thought that with such a magnificent estate they had a right to expect, and would obtain, a fair remuneration for their capital. The accounts showed a balance of 10,000'. more than was earned in the corresponding period of 1862. The silk warehouse had not only paid its expenses at the outset, but had added to the revenue • and the apace left after warehousing the silk had yielded a rental of 300!. or 600/. The stock of silk warehoused at present, amount ing to 5,330 bales, was quite as much as they could reason ably have expected. The report was adopted without discussion, and a dividend of 1/. 139. dsclarol ; after which the =satin terminated in the usual manner. DESTRUCTIOAT OF WHITTLEBURY LODGE. We regret to learn that Whittlebory LaJtze, the seat of Lord Southampton, near Tormenter, Northemptoe, was totally destroyed by fire early on Sunday morning. The dames made such rapid progress that none of the valuable contents of the mansion were saved ; and the noble lord and his lady and infant daughter narrowly escaped with their hem—Herald.

The stock markets opened this morning with a rather flat appearance, owing to the political and financial anxieties of the day, but a good effect has sine been produced in most de partments of the Stock Exchange, by some large and influential purchases of Mexican Bonds. This stock has consequently risen 1 per cent., and the foreign market generally is firmer than it was at an earlier period of the day. The funds are sup ported at the recovery which took place yesterday afternoon. Home railway stocks are quiet. Consols are now quoted 91 to 1, ex div., both for money and next Thursday's settlement, and 91; to i for the 4th of Feb. The official business report is as follows :-Three per Cent. Console, for money, 91, 901, 911; ditto, for account, 911, 91; Three per Cents. Reduced, 91, poi, 91; ; New Three per Cents., 91, 901, 911 ; India stock, shut ; ditto Five per Cent. Stock, 1061, t ; ditto Four per Cent., 1002 ; and Exchequer Bills, 2s. dis. In the foreign stock market attention has been mainly directed to Mexican Bonds, which have been largely bought, and have riser( 1 per cent. Most other stocks are now firmer than they were in the morning, yet no better than yesterday. Some of the pre sent quotations are annexed. Turkish 1854 Loan, 891 to 901; ditto, 1858, 692 to 70 ; ditto, 1862, 671 to ex div. ; the Con solidda, 47/ to 1; Greek, 231 to 24j ; Mexican, 37 to ; and Spanish Passive, 331 to 342.

We are informed that a new line of strain ships between Liverpool and Montreal is about to be established, a company having been formed in the latter city for the purpose with a capital of half a million sterling. It is proposed to run a weekly line to Livervail, and a fortnightly or mi:tidy line to Loudon, and rice r• rod. Competing lines already exist between Glasgow and Montreal, which, whilst working without any subsidy, are said to be thriving concerns ; but between Liverpool and Montreal— • route on which there is much larger traffic —there has been only tea., hue. The business community of Montreal are stated to sup port the project warmly, feeling the need of additional facilities of communication with the mother country. The following is from the Mon treal Witinn;:—" Owing to this monopoly, rates of freight have been unduly high, and great deten tion has often occurred in the shipment of goods. Some of our importing houses, indeed, find it more advantageous to order goods from Loudon to Glas gow for shipment, than to Liverpool • and some Upper Canada houses Lave imported vi:llNew York. That the chief commercial route of Cauada should be left permanently under the sole control of one firm is out of the question ; and the only wonder is that some such movement as the present has not taken lace earlier. We have over and over u again the importance to Canada of compet ing lines. MONDAT ETI2IING.
