Y eat, for Pianoforte, Clarinet, sad Mozart Vila The ottet of Schubert, which has been several times given here, was notice 1 by us on its first performance at these concerts, nearly twelve months since. It is one of the many instrumental works of this composer which have only become known in recent year s, a have added t o his previous fame as a song writer, a ' claim to high consider:L. Lion as one possessed those varied and universal powers which excel in all form.. This ottet is es aniple in its construction and the Lumber of its movements as the celebrated septet of Beethoven, having, like it, a minuet as well as a scherzo, an 1 a theme with variations, besides another distinct andante mcvement. The minuet and the varied andante have not been procurable for per formance here, and the ottet has on each occasion been given without them, being still;however, of full symphonic length. We need not again particularise the many beauties of this work, its rich discursive fancy, and the verity and towns: of its instrumentation. The scherzo and trio, by no means the beet movements, pleased so much last night at to be encored. The ottet on this occasion was led by Herr Straus, as principal violin ; Mr. L. Ries being second violin ; Mr. H. Blagrove, viola; Signor I'iatti, violoucallo ; Mr. Rey nolds, double bassi— Mr. Lazarus, clarinet ; Mr. C. Harper, horn; and Mr. Winter bottom. basso .o—as on its first production here. Such names are suffic:ent guarantee of excellent performance. The sonata o - Moz art, although not one of the most im portant of his solo pi-aces, bearing the comparatively early date of 1777, is full of melodious grace, and abounds in passages which, if not of great difficulty, require extreme neatness in articulation to make any effect, especially on so large au audienca as that which filled St. James's hall last ni ;ht. The admirable execution of Madame Arabella Co Idard drew forth warm expressions of ap plause at the close of each movement ; the final rondo, given with untl igging vivacity and admirable crispness of touch in the ni.recato and octave passages, producing two recalls of the performer. Mendelssohn'a pianoforte quartet, op.:; (his two previous works being also piano forte quartets), is one tf those marvellous productions which are among the wonders of art history. Composed in 1821, when Mendelssohn was but fifteen, it has not only the brightness and impulse of • fresh and youth ful imagination, but also a grandeur of style anal constructive power belouging to mature thought and training. It is a worthy precursor of his still greater ottet for cringed instruments which followed • year later. In these works we have the earliest specimens of that exquisite form of the scherzo which belongs peculiarly to Mendelssohn. The perform ance of the many intricate difficulties of the pianoforte ' part of this quartet exhibited Madame Goddard's facile and finished mechanism to the best advantage. Equally in the beaut,ful and expressive slow movement, and the bravura passages of the fiery and impetuous scherzo and the fitful and restless finale, this lady's performance was an admirable display of brilliant and finished pianoforte playia,t. Although the pianoforte part in this quartet Las more than usual predominance, we must not forget a word of praise for the other artists concerned — If err Straus, Mr. H. Maguire, and Signor Piatti. In strong coetrast to the grand and elaborate quartet of Men delssohn is the placidly beautiful and gracefully melodious trio of ll , Jart, dated in his own catalogue " August 5, 1746," bat a few months after his Figaro. This trio has several times before been given at these concerto—never more finely than last night; Mr. Lazarus's admirable clarinet playing and Mr. H. Blagrove's excellent co-opera tion as viola being worthy accessories to the pianoforte playing of Madame Goddard. Of the first two songs in the programme, that by Schumann woo an im mediate encore. Both were sung by Mr. Sims Reeves with intense yet unaffected expression, and of thorough perception of the sentiment of each. In Schu mann's song an important feature was Mr. Benedict's capital playing of the characteristic pianoforte accompa 11ilUtti. Mr. Sims Beeves' refined singing of Hoetkoven's inoon.parabls " Adelaida," with Madame Goddard's accom pini•nent, is too well-known to need fresh comment. It pi educed the nasal strong impression, and au apparent wish for its repetition, the singer appearing twice in response to the prolouged applause. On Januaty 27, Madame Schumann is to appear ; and a string q • :arta by Schubert is to be performed for the first time here. erama. HOLBORN. Mr. Se' t m Perry has revived Mr. Bolide:WV' PoPuhar and suea , 93ful drama of Fl!sing Scud, with Mr. Atkins in the part of the old jockey, originally represented by Mr. G. Delmore. The pantomime has been condensed, and is now performed as an after•piece. The house was well attended, and Mr. Atkins was very well received. The scenery has been partly renewed, and the (=mu Derby se,ms was wove emlective than ever. HOLBORN AMPHITHEATRE. This excellent and well-appointed circus is still in the hands of the celebrated American company, who announce the last four weeks of their engagement, and who, we believe, will be replaced by the great Japanese company now pirforming in Birmingham. No acrobatic fiats, trick horses, or daring riding that have been seen in England ever surpassed. if they ever equalled, the perform- armee of the riders, acrobats, and horses now exhibiting in Holborn, and the famed Ducrow himself, if' , alive, would yield the palm to equestrians like Mr. Robinson. There is one good, and, we are sorry to my, a rare feature in the entertainments at the Holborn Circus, they are worked with the utmost possible rapidity. With the exception of the ten minutes allowed between the first •n 1 second parts of the programme, there is not half a minute's "wait" between any one of the "acts" The clowns are not tedious, and the programme is so arranged as to give the greatest variety within the compass of a single evening. A new feature was introduced last night in the shape of • "shadow pantomime," called Shadows is the Avg, or Trip to 111 , Loon, supported by mules and ponies as well as men. This form of pantomime, in which the figures are represented by black shadows of a gigantic size throwg on a white curtain, has a spectral humour •boat it which is as original as it is impressive. This pantomime eon eludes the performance. FREEDOM OF NATIONAL IDIICATION. —The follow ing resolutions will be moved at a public meeting to be held at liVillues-noins on February 12.

There fore did I cry again; and often too. Terribly true to nature is the difficulty George Silverman finds in beginning the explana tion of his life. He tries two chapters and breaks off, and only in the third " comes on it by degrees," There is something at first sight &arm like m the manner of this beginning of the story. But with Sterne it would have been a trick of sen timent ; here it is the agony of nature itself. And the " explanation," as it unfolds itself, as real as Defoe, strikes a chord of human feeling deeper and more thrilling than any that was ever strung by the immortal creator of " Robinson Crusoe." Here, then, are two stories which will count among the masterpieces of their author, pub lished for the first time in the United State; ; and published in magazines which have a certain, but a very limited circulation in England. We trust that they will increase, as they deserve to do, 'the circulation of the Atlantic Monthly, and Our Young Folks in the old country ; but in the absence of a copyright act, what protection will the American publishers enjoy 1 No doubt the stories, when completed, will be published by Mr. Dickens' English publishers by agreement with Messrs. Ticknor and Fields. But no arrange ment having been made for their simultaneous ap pearance in *aerial form in the two countries, may they or may they not be published month by month in any and every English periodical that chooses to supply our American cousins with a substantial motive for passing a copyright act ? We ask the question without presuming to decide it. But it 1 is fair to remember that it isnot from the most re spectable American publishers that the opposition to a mutual security proceeds ; nor from the best American writers. Nor, indeed, have our own most eminent authors much reason to complain of the treatment they receive at the hands of tho great publishing houses in the United States, considering the disadvantages under which an honest American publisher labours, under present circumstances, in his own country, against less scrupulous compe titors. . . . "What remains for us to Alo r Alice went on in her mild wise way. "We must educate, we must pretend in a new manner, we must wait." The Colonel clenched his teeth—four out in front, and a piece off another, and he had been twice dragged to the door of the dentist-despot, but had escaped from his guards. "How educate? how pretend in • new man na"? how want" Educate the grown-up people," replied Alioe. "Wepart to-night. Yes, Redforth !"—tor the Colonel tucked up his cuffs—" part too-night ! Let us, in Moe next holidays, now going to begin, throw our thoughts into something educa tional for the grown-up people, hinting to them how things ought to be. Let us veil our meaning under the mask of romance ; you, I, and Nettie. WWl= Tinkling being the plainest and quicken miter, shall copy ouls it agreed„ The Colonel answered sulkily " I don't mind." He then asked, " How about pretmciingr "We will pretend," said Alice, " that we are children ; not that we are those grown-up people who won't help us as they ought and who understand us so badly." The Colonel,still much dissatisfied, growled, „ How about waiting . "We will wait." answered little Alice, taking Nettle's hand in hers, and looking UP at the sky, "we will wait— ever constant and true—till the times have so changed ea that everything helps us out, and nothing makes us ridiculous, and the fairies have oome back. We will wait —ever constant and true—till we are eighty, ninety, one hundred. And then the fairies will send us children, and we will help them out, poor, pretty, little creatures it they pretend ever so much." "So we will, dear," said Nettie Ashford, taking her round the waist with both arms, and kissing her. " And now, if my husband will go and buy some harries for us, I have got some money." In the friendliest manner I invited the Colonel to go with me, but he so far forgot himself as to knowledge the invitation by kicking out behind, and then lying down on his stomach on the pulling it up, and chewing It. When I came back, grasp ever, Alice had nearly broile r : him oat of his vexation and was soothing him by te him wil l own we should all be ninety. As we sat r thetree and ate the cherries (fair, for Alice shared them out) we played at being ninety. Nettie complained that she had • bone in her old basic, and it made her hobble, and Alice sang a song in an old woman's way, but it was very pretty, and we were all merry. At least I don't know about merry exactly, but all comfortable. We should not forget to add that the frontis piece of this story is without exception the very best portrait of Mr. Dickens we have ever seen. His English portraits have done him great in justice : they have exaggerated the severity and sternness of the lines of thought and care which time has left upon the face, and have missed the thoughtful kindliness of expreasion, not unmixed with a certain saddened reserve. The January number of the Atlantic Monthly contains, among other excellent contributions, a lecture by Emerson on " Aspects of Culture," compared with which, in pregnant, sententious, practical wisdom, much of the recent lucubra tions on that subject in England will be found pale and poor indeed. But the first chapters of a story by Charles Dickens, which is to be com pleted in four parts, will instantly seise the at tention of English readers. It is the story, told by himself, of a miserable pauper lad, whose earliest recollections are of "an infant home in a cellar in Preston," where hews& horribly illtreated by a half-starved and savage mother, sometimes, when both his parents were away seeking work, locked up in the cellar for a day or two at • time, until, on the death of his parents of fever, he was discovered by the parochial authorities, purified with smoking vinegar, and taken charge of by a Mr. Verity Hawkyard, " a prominent member of some obscure denomination or congregation, every member of which held forth to the rest when so inclined, and among whom he was called Brother Hawkyard." This worthy, who is desperately afraid of " infection ' " has the child removed to a farm. Here the poor boy, who had never known a moment's ray of sunshine or kindness in his life, appears to the family of a morose temper ;he shrin from kindness for fear of " infecting " the household with the fever of whichhis father and mother died; and when Sylvia, the farm servant, invites him to juin a little dance on her birthday, he says he's very sorry, but can't come. So the girl calls him a disagreeable, ill-humoured lad ; and the farmer confirms the sentence.—" You're as moody and broody a lad as never I set eyes upon—"and sends him to supper, to " sulk to his heart's content." And thus he grows up—shy, timidly silent under misconstruction, with' an inexpressible, perhaps • morbid, dread of ever being sordid or worldly." " It was in these ways that my nature came to shape itself to such a mould even before it was affected by the influences of the studious sad retired life of a poor scholar." It will be easily understood from this outline of the introductory chapters how powerful and poignant is the conception and the presentation of the character of this ppaauper child, whom its mother, made fierce by and starvation, used to call " a worldly little devil," whether it squeezed itself into a warm corner when there was a tire, or ate voraciously when there was food, and out of whose forlorn misery of lot a heavenly instinct of VINO ACCIDINT TO A GYXIfAST.-011 Thurs. easy-going self-sacrifice, mistaken by the world day night shoc ki ng occurrence b o w llf.

Mr. Dickens has been induced to become during his sojourn on the other side of the A tlantic a contributor to the Atlantic Monthly and Our Young Folks. The change of scene and air, and perhaps too of surrounding associations, appears to have had the happiest effect upon Mr. Dickens, if we may . judge from the opening chapters of the stories he Is con tributing to the two American magazines. In the opening chapter of the " Holiday Romance," Which purports to be " from the pen of William Tinkling, Esquire, aged 8," he has surpassed, we think, even the immortal story of the Runaway Couple, told by the Boots of the Holly Tree Inn, in the marvellously subtle and pathetic tenderness which underlies the conception of the romance of childhood. The divine innocence of children, the waywardness the wilfulness, the sweet inconse quence, the half consciousness of" pretending," which is almost a presentimen t of the sadder experi ence of after years, the burlesque seriousness of the little actors in the mock business of life which they perform, with all the solemnity in the world , as a drama — all combine to produce an exquisitely ' humourous and touching picture. William Tinkling, Esquire (aged 8), is the author of this " Holiday Romance," and this is how he enters on the scene : Tb is beginning part is not made out of anybody's head, you know. It's real. You must believe this beginning part more than what comes after, else you won't under stand how what comes after came to be written. You must believe it all. but you mast believe this most, please. lam the Editor of it. Bob Redforth (he's my cousin, and shaking the table on purpose) wanted to be the Editor of it, bat bald he shouldn't, because he couldn't. He has no idea of being an Editor. Nettie Ashford is my bride. We were married in the right-hand closet in the corner of the dancing-school, where first we met, with • ring (a green one) from Wilkingwater's toyshop. I owed for it out of my pocket-money. When the rapturous ceremony eras over, we all four went up the lane and let off a cannon (b ro ught loaded in Bob Redforth's waistcoat pooket) to announce our nuptials. It thew right up when it went off, and turned over. Neat day Lieutenant-Colonel Robin Redforth was united with similar ceremonies to Allis Rainbird. This time the cannon burst with a most terrine explosion, and made a puppy bark. My peerless bride was, at the period of which we now treat, in captivity at Miss Grimmer's. Drowvey and Grimmer is the partnership, and opinion is divided which is the greatest Beast. The lovely bride of the Colonel was oleo immured in the-dungeons of the same establishment. A vow was entered into between the Colr eel and myself that we would cut them out on the follow leg Wednesday when walking two and two. . . , • Under the desperate circumstances of the case, the active brain of the Colonel, combining with his lawless pursuit (he is a Pirate), suggested an attack with fireworks. This, however, from motives of humanity, was abandoned as too expensive. .• • • .. . . Lightly per ar med with a pa knife buttoned up under his jacket, and waving the dreaded black flag at the end of • cane, the Colonel took com mand of me at 2 p.m. on the eventful and appointed day. He had drawn out the plan of attack on a piece of paper which was rolled up round a hoop-stick. He showed it to me. My po'ition and my full-length portrait (but my real ears don't stick out horizontal) was bellied a corner lamp-post, with written orders to remain there till I should see Miss Drowvey fall. The Drowvey who was to fall was the one in spectacles, not the one with the large lavender bonnet. At that signal I was to rush forth, seize my bride, and fight my way to the lane. There, a irction would be effected between myself and the Colone l, and putting our brides behind us, between ourselves an the palings, we were to conquer or die. . • . . The enemy appeared —approached. Waving his black flag, the Colonel attacked. Confusion ensued. Anxiously I awaited my signal, but my sigual came not. So far from falling, the hated Drowvey in spectacles appeared to me to have mulled the Colonel's head in his outlawed banner, and to be pitching into him with a parasol. The one in the lavender bonnet also performed prodigies of valour with her ti don hie hack. Seeing that all was for the moment lost. I fought my desperate way hand to hand to the lane. Throu;h taking the back road, I was so fortunate as to meet nobody, and arrived there uninter rupted. . • • • . . . . It seemed an age ere the Colonel joined me. He had been to the jobbing tailor's to be sewn up in several places, and attributed oar defeat to the refusal of the detested Drowvey to fall. Finding her so obstinate, he had said to her in a loud voice, " Die, recreant!" but had found her no more open to reason on that point than the other. My blooming bride ap• peared, accompanied by the Colonel's b ride ID the dancing. school next day. What ? Was her face averted from me? Hah ! Even so. With a look of scorn she put into my kends a bit of paper_, and took another partner. On the pap. r was pencilled, " Heavens ! Can I write the word ! Is my husband a Cow ." . ._ • • . . . . In the first b ew ilderment of my heated brain I tried to think what slanderer could have traced my family to the ignoble animal mentioned above. Vain were my endea vours. At the end of that dance I whispered the Colonel to come into the cloak-room, and I showed him the note. " There is a syllable wanting," said he, with • gloomy brow. "Mali! what syllable'" was my inquiry. " She asks, Can she write the word? And no ; you Imo she couldn't," said the Colonel, pointing out the passage. " And the word wan r said I. " Cow-cow-coward," hissed the Pirate• Colonel in my ear, and gave nee back the note. Feeling that I must for ever tread the earth a branded boy—person, I mesa — or that I must cle ar u p m y honour. I demanded to be tried by a court martial. The Colonel admitted my right to be tried. Some difficulty was found in composing the court, on amount of the Emperor of France's aunt refusing to let him come out. He was to be the president. Ere yet we had appointed a substitute, he made his escape over the hack wall, and stood among us, a free monarch. So the court is held "on the grass by the pond." I recognised in a certain Admiral among my judges my deadliest foe. A cocoa-nut had given rise to language that I could not brook. But, confiding in my innocence, and also in the knowledge that the President of the United States (who sat next him) owed me • knife, I braced myself for the ordeal It was a s olemn spectacle, that court. Two executioner s with pinafores reversed led me in. Under the shads of an umbrella I perceived my Bride, supported by the Bride of the Pirate-Colonel. The President (having reproved a little female ensign for tittering in a matter or life and death) called upon me to plead, " Coward or no coward—guilty or not guilty . " I pleaded, in a fine tone, "No coward, and not guilty." (The little female ensign being amain reproved by the President for misconduct mentioned, left the court, and threw stones.) My implacable enemy, the Admired, conducted the case against me. The Colonel's Bride was called to prove that I had remained behind the corner lamppost during the engagement. I might have been spared the anguish of my own Bride's being also made a =teems on the same point, but the Admiral knew where to wound me. Be still, my soul, no matter. The Colonel was then brought forward with his evidence. It was for this point that I had laved myself up as the turning point of my case. Shaking myself free of my guarda—wbo had no business to hold me. the Auricle, unless I was found guilty—l asked the Colonel what he considered the first • soldier? Ere he could reply, the President of the Unite d States rose and informed the court that my foe, the Adraiial, had suggested " bravery," and that prompting • witness wasn't fair. The President of the court immediately ordered the Admiral's mouth to be filled with leaves, and tied up with string. I had the =tie/diction of seeing the sentatioe carried into effect before the proceedings went further. I then took a paper from my trousers-pocket, and asked i—" What do you =wider Colonel Redforth, the first duty of • soldier—is it obedience?" " It is," said the Colonel. " L that paper—please to look at it—in your hand!" "It is," as the Colonel. " Is it a military sketch!" " It is," said the Colonel. " Of an engagement?" " Quite so , laid the Colonel. " Of the late engagement ?" " Of the late engagement." " Please to describe it, and then hand it to the Presi dent of the court." From that triumphant moment my dangers and cap sufferings were at an end. My foe, the Admiral, whs, though muzzled, was ma lignant yet, contrived to that I was dishonoured by having quitted the= But the Colonel himself had done as much, and gave his opinion, upon his word and honour as a pirate, that when all was lost the esid might be quitted without disgrace. I was going to be found "No coward and not guilty, and my blooming Bride wan going to be publicly restored to my arms in a proem• slob, when an unlooked-for event disturbed the general rejoicing. This was no other than the Emmert . of Frame's aunt catching hold of his hair. The preceedinP abruptly terminated, and the court tumultuously dissolved. . . . . Next evening Four Forms might have been descried slowly advancing towards the weeping willow on the borders of the pond, the now deserted some of the day before yesterday's agonies and triumphs. On a nearer approach, and by a practised eye , these might have been identifies{ as the forms of the Pirrte•Colonel, with his Bride, and of the day before yesterday's gallant prisoner, with his Bride. On the beauteous faces of the nymphs dejection sat =thread. All four reclined under the willow for some minutes without speaking, till at length the Bride of the Colossi podia* ()barred, "It's of no use pretending say more; sad we had better give it up.,* Bah !" exclaimed the Pirate. " Peeled* l" " Don't go on like that ; you worry me," returned his Bride. The lovely Bride of Tinkling echoed the iccredible declaration. The two warriorsg m haad kosi sto7 glances.

John Contra*, 28, Maness-maker, was indicted for h ob. ,by means of false pretences, from E li za Cleave, pair pink and divers other saddler's tools, value 155., the property of Frederick Cleave, with intent to defraud. It appeued that the prosecutor and the prisoner were both snEering terms of imprisonment in Coldbath-fields Prison, and were employed in the shoemakers' shop. The prisoner's sentence expired about three months before that of the prosecutor, and just before that time the latter told the prisoner that he was most desirous of communicating with his wife and children, and with that object he obtained a piece of paper used in shoemaking, and by means of a bit of stick and the blacking used to colour the edges of the soles of boots and shoes, contrived to writs the following communication to his wife :—" My love to you, my deer Eliza, and the children. Dear wife, here is a man that sat next to me, and he wants work. If you have anything to get him do so.—From your poor husband, F. etisvg. Gud bless you . . . • • • For my three babes Mrs. Cleave, 13, Little Eussell-strest, near the Museum. John Chandler, baker's shop, Cromerstreet, Judd-street, New-road." The prisoner went to the address, and told the wife that Its was directed by her husband to carry on his business for him until ho came out of prison. His directions were that she should give him his tools, and that his little boy was to go, round with him and show him the customers. She gave him en apron, two pair of clamps, a hammer, and several othertools used by saddlers, whschwere put into a carpet-bag, worth altogether about 155., and which he took away. The Judge (to the wife)—Did you give him anything elms besides! Mrs. Cleave—Yes, sir. I felt grateful to him, and I gave him a breakfsat and 6d. The Judge—Did you do anything else? Mrs. Cleave—Yea. I sent my little boy with him to show him my husband's customers. Some time afterwards my little boy came home, bringing a note from the pri soner, stating that he was gone to a job at King's-cross, and would come back with the money and tools, but I did not see him sgain until I saw him at the station.house. Frederick Cleave, of 15, Drury-lane, saddler, husband of the last witness, maid he gave the accused no authority to take possession of the property. Samuel Hall, 185 A it, said he took the prisoner into custody, and told him the charge. He said, " I hail the goods, but got drunk and lost them, or else I meant to re : store them." The jury found the prisoner Guilty. Mr. Payne said the prisoner was a very heartless fellow to rob a poor woman to trouble, and the sentence upon him was 18 months' hard labour. b Butcher, a plain clothes darer of the C division whet he maid that he got drank and lost or was robhe & of the looney.

IMPROVED INDIISTILTAL DWELLINGS COMPANY (LIMITED:. The report and statement of accounts to be pre. Dented to the helf.yeerly meeting .. of shareholders to. morrow have been Weed, In addition to the 50,005). in 1001. shares already allotted, 38,3501. has been sub scribed in 251. shares, making the total subscribed capital 88350/., of which 7,1 221. has come in since the date of the last report. The two blocks of buildinge at Greenwich arc now oompleted and ready for oecupation. These dwell. ings are upon the same plan as those at Palmerston-bnild logs, sad comprise separate and distinct hcmes for forty families. Two of the six blocks of buildings at Britannia street are now completed and occupied. Two more blocks will be finished by March next, and two others will be ready for occupation daring the coming autumn. One block compriaes separate and distinct tenements for twenty-four families, and the other building is upon . a new pith, which, as at present arranged, comprises tturty-six term ' mints of two rooms each. The separate scullery which has been hitherto attached to each tenement has been omitted hire, and three tenants have the use of a scul lery, he., between them, there being separate w.c.'s for ea* sex. It woe at first theught that by economising the ease et the structure by reducing the number of the scab Leis, sets of rooms with such limited accommodation could be readily let at lower rents than before ; but it has been found that the applications for the *operate and com plete home (at higher rents) are enormously in excess of those for the cheaper plan of lodging. This is quite in accordance with the previous experience of the directors at other estates ; it is invariably found that the applica tions for tenements are always most numerous for the best kind of accommodation affordedby the oompany's buildings. The experience of four or five years of the company's ope rations shows that the wants of the industrial classes aro being met, and that the object for which the company was formed is being gradually attained. Contracts have been entered into by which the company will come into POser ~ sion of the whole of the estate at Betlanal-green, referred to in the last report. It comprises nine acres of freehold land, at present severed by some hundreds of small house'. The purchase has been completed upon terms which will secure to the company a very fair profit upon the invest. meat from the time of taking posseesion. Between 16,0edr. and 17,000/. has already been paid on this account , and about 25.0001. more will be required for the completion of the purchase. The directors contemplate effecting consi derable improvements upon the estate, by the erection of houses adapted to the wants of the neighbourhood. A contribution at the rate of 1 per cent per annum upon the cost of the buildings has been charged to the debit of profit and loss, together with the usual contributions to the leasehold redemption funds, and the whole of the gum of 1,7951. les. 11d., now standing te the credit of revenue scoonnt, is available for distribution se the profit' et the past half-year. The directors propose that the l amed dividend, at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, shill be declared payable out of this sum, winch will am to 1,468/. 7s. 11d., and that the balance of 3271. 7a. be carried forward. In snaking up the amounts for the past half-year the directors have departed from their previous custom, and have charged to the debit of estates not a: present producing revenue interest at 5 per cent. sinus July 1. In the early operations of the company the were were content to share the profits among the holden of profitable and idle capital alike ; but now that the number of shareholders has been largely increased the directors think it inadvisable to recommend the cola tantalises of a similar course. .1111ETE.

William Dolby, a well-armed young man, was brought before Aldermen Rose for further examination on aeveral charges of forgery and fraud. Mr. Mullen', solicitor to the Bankers' Protection Asso ciation, again appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Walker for the defence. It will be remembered from the evidence adduced at the preliminary examination that the prisoner had become possessed of a blank cheque book, abstracted from a parcel sent to the Halstead branch of the London and Couuty Bank, in the beginning of Decemb er, 1866. It contained 50 cheques, and the prisoner had succeeded in numerous instance' in passing them upon tradesmen and other. The following additional witnesses were now called : Edward Henry Mailers, pawnbroker, Leda li e d deposed—On the 2nth November, 1866, the prisoner came to my place to redeem a gun. While he wee in the shop II person was offering leather leggings for sale. Prisoner bought three pairs for 15e, and asked me to pay for them, which I did. On the lith December be returned and tendered me a cheque for 6/. odd. From this I deducted the 15a., and gave him the Wanes in cash. He told me that Mr. Brown, the drawer, was an agricultural implement maker in Upper Thames-street, and he showed me an invoice for a mowing machine which he had bought from him. He caked me if I had an 18 cent gold Albert. I said that ! bad a 15 carat one, price 121., and he agreed to per. chum it, and asked if I would take • cheque for the amount. I told him I did not know him, bus if I got the cheque cashed I would send him the chain. He then took a cheque-book out of his pocket sad filled up • cheque for 121., which he signed " dames Stacey." He gave his address as Rinvenecourt, Chelsea. Having given me the cheque he went away, but he returned the same afternoon and got away the chain. I afterwards presented the cheque for payment, but it was dishonoured. Edward William Thairem said he was in the service of Mr, Ashford, hosier, 72, Upper-street, Islington, and knew the prisoner by the name of William Dolby. About the beginning of December, 1866, he ordered some shirts to the value of 2/., and tendered • cheque for 101. Witness gave him 5/. on account, as that was all that was in the till at the time, and prisoner returned next day and received the balance, 3/. The cheque was subsequently taken to be cashed, but was returned with the wools, "No account." John Domett Bartlett, 71, Waterloo-road, said he was a dealer in article, connected with cricketing. On the 11th of February, 1867, the prisoner called on him with reference to sending some cricketing articles to Tenbury, in Woroesterabire. He said his name was H. Norris, Under Ley-houae,Tenbury, and that Mr. Hall, of Tenbury, had sent him up with a cheque to purchase • quantity of cricketing goods for the club. He gave an order for articles amounting altogether to 151. odd, and in pay ment handed me a cheque for W. Witneee gave him in exchange V. Lis. The cheque was signed "W. H. Hall." One of the articles ordered was a cricket cheat, on which were to be put the letters, "W.W. C. C." The cheque was afterwards returned dishonoured, and the articles were accordingly not supplied. Henry Crabtree, builder, W, Sutton-street, York-road. Lambeth mid be was present at the transaction spoken of by Mr. Bartlett, and he identified the prisoner as the per eon who tendered the cheque. Mr. hfullens maid this was all the evidence he had to offer to-day, and he had therefore to apply for another remand. On the next occasion he should call the secretary of the cricket club. whose name happened to be Norris, and he should also have two or three other cases against the prisoner. Mr. Walker. on behalf of the prisoner, complained of an intimation having been made on Saturday that none of the prisoner's friends would be allowed to see him. sad it Aklermen Base said he had made his escape once, was neeseary to exercise additional vigilance. Kr. Walker—That was from the sheriffs' lockup. alderman Bose said he must be a *lever young man. He 'saki be seen at Newgate. He was then remanded till this day (Tuesday) week.
