Waterford was last from the post, and was upwards of half a dozen lengths in the roar until reaching the Canal bridge turn, where he drew forward. Julia had been lead ing up to that point, with Satanella second. Julia was beaten before entering the straight, and Waterford soon passed Satanella. From the distance the race was not in doubt, Waterford winning in a canter by six lengths, and galloping round the far side of the course before he was stopped. Maradan was a bad third.

After four or five attempts, owing to the impatience of one or two animals, a good start was made, Little Lady next the rails, taking the lead, with Lady Clifden at her side, Postage next, and the others running nearly in a line. At the distance Postage dropped back, and Lady Clifden went on with the running, followed by Big Ben and Dun dee. A very fine race ensued, Lady Clifden winning cleverly by a neck, and only the same distance separating the other horses placed. Lupus was fifth, Gipsy sixth, and The Norman seventh; Postage and Longrhot were next; Lady Louisa and Pretty Rosa succeeded them; Charybdis, who stopped to kick several times, was beaten off, and did not pass the post.

At the stable turn Fobersides again held command, but, on reach ing the milepost, Dr. Leete.and Jealou s y p asse d him. This pair ran silo by side to the canal bridge turn, and also along the flat to the. T.Y.C. post.

Her Majesty's paddlewheel steam-vessel Firefly, Master Commander Skead in temporary 'charge, yesterday left Woolwich far Greenhithe to adjust compasses in preparation for her voyage to Malta, where she is to supply the place of the Tartarus, paid off by Capt.

The Caduceus chartered freightship, Capt. Cass, sailed from Spithead for the Thames at 8.30 p.m. on Monday, with the military invalids on board for disembarkation at Gravesend. The Mars, 80, screw, Capt. Strange, sailed from Spithead at daylight yesterday to join the Channel fleet. A number of her crew are reported absent. The Flying Fish screw despatch vessel, Commander C. W. Hope, also sailed from Spithead yesterday for the same destination. The Firebrand, 6, paddle, Commander James M. Bruce (son of the Commander-in-Chicf at Ports mouth), was yesterday removed from the steam basin and berthed alongside her hulk in the har bour, to receive her crew and complete for sea. The Euryalus, 51, screw, Capt. Tarleton, C. 8., was yesterday taken into the steam basin at Ports mouth for the purpose of having her boilers taken out. Her crew will be paid wages and granted leave ashore. The Bacchante, 51, screw frigate (new), sister to the Shannon, yesterday steamed out of Portsmouth harbour, in charge of Capt. U. T. Gordon, command ing the steam reserve at Portsmouth, and proceeded to the trial ground in Stokes Bay to make her offi• cial trial of speed at the measured mile. The trial was under the supervision of Mf.'Dinnen, Admiralty inspector of machinery afloat, Mr. Murray, chief engineer of Portsmouth dockyard, and Mr. Mur doch, inspector of machillkry afloat at Portsmouth. Mr. Moody represented the master builder on board. Capt. Harris, of her Majesty's cadet-training ship .Britannia, was also on board during the trial. Ad miral Martin was among the visitors on board, the ship being fitted with a steering apparatus on his plan. The weather was all,that could be wished for the occasion—smooth water, and the wind not ex ceeding a force of 2. The machinery and boilers worked remarkably well throughout, with a plenti ful supply of steam. The Bacchante's engines are a pair of 300-horse power each nominal, by Maudslay, Field, and Co., who were represented by Mr. War rener, who had charge of the engines during the trial. The steering apparatus consists of a cross head or yoke fixed at a certain angle sufficient to clear the screw well, and connected by two pa rallel rods with another cross-head, from the centre of which projects a lever or tiller, to which is at tached in the ordinary manner the ship's wheel ropes. The apparatus appeared to act admirably, and exhibited great power over the rudder. The ship's steering qualities also appeared to be good, and she made a complete circle under full steam in 7 minutes 21 seconds. The engines were stopped when at full speed, a n d then moved ahead in 13 seconds; stopped again, and 'moved astern in 14 seconds. The ship's d raugh t of water was—for ward, 20 feet 1 inch ; a ft, 22 feet 1 i nc h . Pressure ' of steam in gauge, 21 • vacuum, 24; revolutions of engines, maximum, 5,5 ; mean, 54. Temperature in stoke hole, 113; in e ng i ne room , 54 ; o n deck, 46. The common screw was used, with a diameter of 19 feet 4 inches, and a p i tch of 25 f ee t. Six runs were made at the mea sure d m i le, g i v i ng th e ship a speed of rather over 12 k nots. I t mus t n ot be for gotten, however, that th e s hi p h as ye t t o take on board the whole of her provisions, and powder and shell, and this, with the weight of her crew, their bags, and what other stores she may have to take on board before she can proceed to sea, must mate rially increase her immersion in the water, and un doubtedly will affect her speed ; at the same time her screw has been only tried at one pitch, and in its old form. The ship proved very steady under steam, and the trial was considered by the different officials on board to have been of an extremely sa- tisfactory nature. The Megeera screw troopship, at Portsmouth, is ordered by the Admiralty to be fitted with Can ninghpatent topsails for reefing from the deck. The whole of the screw troopships in her Majesty's navy, with the exception of the Himalaya, are now fitted on this principle. Mr. G. B. Evans has been appointed mate to the Nile, and Mr. J. H. Sidal, mate, to the Ariadue. THE ARMY. The War Department having decided on employ ing in the public establishments those wounded and disabled soldiers who have recently been formed into a body called commissionaires in the metropolis, the Commander-in-Chief, who highly approves the proposed plan, has issued an order directing that those commanding officers who may be in want of messengers or office-keepers are to apply to the Adjutant-General of the Forces, when a selection will be made from the commissionaires, one of whom will be appointed to the office required. A detachment of 55 gunners, belonging to the depot brigade of Royal Artillery, left Woolwich on Monday for Gibraltar, and other detachments are under orders for Malta and Corfu. Capt. Comes, Royal Engineers, is a passenger from Tasmania by the incoming mail. Mr. Bovell, of the Commissariat, has proceeded to Swan River, and is succeeded at Hobart Town by Mr. Strick land. The Nourmahal, w ith a detachment of the 65th Regiment, and emigrants, from England, arrived at Auckland, New Zealand, on the 6th of December. The Shooting Star, from Liverpool, arrived at Auckland on the lst of December; the Shalimar, also from Liverpool, arrived on the 23d of December. [ADVERTISEMENT.]--Holloway's Pills.—Happiness A disordered stomach, or torpid liver, is but too frequently the origin of our most melancholy thoughts, which nothing rectifies so soon as these digestive pills. Headache, bile, and dimness of sight disappear before their potent sway, which gradually expels all impurities from the system, giving the mind serenity and vigour under a course of their pills, which never fail i n causing all functions to work in perfect harmony, from which man's happiness results. Holloway's pills restore a healthy action to the liver, bowels, and kidneys, without pain or inconvenience. They relieve gout, rheumatism, chest complaints, diseases of the throat, and are especially valuable in the numerous d'sorders of infancy, especially when assisted by the exter nal application of ilelleway'e ointment, " Inland Revenue, Somerset House, W.C., March 1. " May it please your Lordships,—titre have ob sex ved in the course' of the recent debates on the budget several references to observations made by us in our annual reports on the subject of the paper duties. "It has been inferred from the passages alluded to that our experience of the effeot of the paper duty does not bear out the statement of the Chancellor of the Excheqer in his statement on the 10th of February, namely, ' that the Board of Inland Re venue are completely agreed that there ought to be a repeal of the duty. " This inference, however, is not correct. We beg leave to state that it is our deliberate opinion that the paper duty (to use the words of the Chan cellor of the Exchequer) is rapidly becoming un tenable,' and we hope to satisfy your lordships that this opinion is not inconsistent with those which we have previously expressed on the subject. " It is no doubt true that in our first and second reports we noticed, as a circumstance which distin guishes the paper duty from other duties or Excise, that the regulations under which the revenue from this source is collected are such as to impose very slight restrictions during the process of manufac ture. " Your lordships are aware that tot. intervention of the Excise officer takes place at a paper-mill, for the first time, when the paper is ready LAe sent out. It is then his business to weigh ikelo charge the duty ams.ording to the weight„and to place round the reams labels and wrappers denoting that the charge has been made, and distinguishing them from such as have not been brought under his in spection. "These simple regulations leave the paper-maker comparatively free to adopt the best and most eco nomical modes of working, and he can scarcely assert, as the malsters and distillers do, that the cost of production is increased , or the quality of the manufactured article impaired, by the fetters im posed upon upon him for fiscal purposes. " We considered it was right to point out thi distinguishing characteristic of the paper duty, as an important consideration in any discussion re specting the maintenance of it as a source of reve nue, and as being a matter of which few persons besides those practically conversant with the ope ration of the revenue laws could be expected to hive any knowledge. But our observations were limited to this one point, namely, the freedom of theprocess of manufacture from Excisa regulations, and were not intended to convey any opinion upon the wider question whether the general effects of the duty were or were not as pernicious as has been repre sented by the advocates for its repeal. " In our third report (that of last year), we were compelled to draw your lordships' attention to the great and increasing embarrassments in which we were involved in collectin4 this tax. We pointed out that this state of things was attributable in a great measure to the condemnation of the duty by a resolution of the House of Commons ; and we might, perhaps, have added, that the evils of which we complained had- been accumulating for many years previously, under the prevalence of a general impression that the duty on paper would be given up on the very first available opportunity. We endeavoured to show how impossible it was under these circumstances to apply to Parliament for power to subject new branches of the trade to Ex cise regulations, and at the same time how unjust it was to allow to one an exemption from that duty and survey which alone prevented a rival branch from successful competition in the market. "As an example, we selected the case of the card makers and the pasteboard-makers; we might have specified several others, which have lately been brought to your Lordships' notice. " Without going into the details (which are to be found in pages 13 and 14 of our Third Annual Re port), it may be sufficient to state that card-makers are exempt from Excise survey, while pasteboard makers are subject to it ; that the distinction be tween the articles produced by the two traders is merely nominal, and that it is scarcely an exag geration to say that we are levying a duty on A, while we allow B to send out goods, precisely simi lar in nature, without any interference from the revenue officer. " It may be said that the remedy is either to. place the card-makers under survey er to exempt the pasteboard-makers ; but, besides the reasons above referred to, which prevent us from adopting the farmer alternative in a case of paper duty, we must frankly own that we believe it to be impos sible at the present day to subject to the supervi sion of the exciseman any class of traders who have hitherto been free from it; and, on the other hand, if the pasteboard makers were to be declared exempt, we should have to encounter the loud and well-found( d complaints of their rivals, those paper makers, namely, who make pasteboard at their mills, and who are necessarily under Excise survey, so long as a duty on paper exists. "'The pasteboard-makers, again, come before us in the character of injured parties, when they com pare the treatment which they receive with that of the scaleboard-maker. Pasteboard it seems is the natural rival of scaleboard. Left free from extraneous influences, these two articles might per haps maintain the struggle for supremacy without any decided advantage on either side; but the weight of Excise duty and surve y, w hi c h is brought to bear upon pasteboard alone, gives to scaleboard an easy triumph in the very same field in which paste board formerly obtained the preference. Boxes, for instance, of various kinds, and especially hat boxes, were originally made of pasteboard, a more suitable material for the purpose than scaleboard. Since the duty has been levied on the former, and not on the lat ter, a trade which entirely supported a large manufactory near Oxford has ceased to exist; and it is asked, not without reason, whether it is just to select arbitrarily for taxation one of two articles so similar in their nature and in the purposes to which they are applicable. " The grievances of the pasteboard-makers do not end here. They appear again with the mare im portant complaint that the duty on pasteboard is seriously detrimental to the exporters of certain light manufactures which are packed in ornamented boxes for the foreign market, and that it actually has the effect of compelling the British merchant to import for this purpose boxes made in Germany, instead of those made at home. " Your lordships are aware that no drawback can be given in such a case, because, in the first place, the amount of duty originally paid on the paper composing the pasteboard cannot be ascertained, and, in the second place, supposing that an approxi mate rate could be fixed upon so as to obviate this difficulty, it would still be impracticable to obtain the tare of such boxes when filled with goods ready for shipment. That a close examination would be necessary is proved by the remarkable fact that an applicant on this subject recently forwarded to us a box as a specimen of those which he used, and which turned out to be made of scaleboard, an article on which, as before observed, no duty is levied. The duty, therefore, on pasteboard boxes, and on slips of pasteboard on which certain goods are wound, or to which they are attached, is a burden from which our manufacturers cannot be relieved so long as the paper duty is maintained, and is no doubt, as alleged by them, an impediment in the close competition which they encounter in the foreign and colonial markets. Their endeavour to escape from this difficulty by importing foreign boxes (subject at the Custom-house to an ad valorem duty, which is not an equivalent to that o f the Excise), while it affords but an imperfect remedy to the exporters, is an additional cause of complaint against the unequal operation of the revenue laws from the makers of paper and pasteboard in our own country. " The above instances are some of those which have been most recently pressed upon our notice, as illustrating the unequal incidence of the paper duty, and we bare found it impossible either to deny the existence of the evils complained of or to sug gest any remedy short of the entire repeal of the duty. " Numerous other examples might be adduced of the same unhappy effect from this tax ; but the ex planations necessary to make them intelligible would lead us into too much detail for our present purpose. We content ourselves with reminding your lordships of the incessant demands of the sta tioners to have the same drawback on the waste cuttings of writing-paper as is allowed on the cut tings of envelopes, of the impossibility of granting this without opening the door to the payment of drawback upon every small piece of paper produced for that purpose, and of the absurdity to which the concession would thus reduce us. Your lordships may remember that all our difficulties in this re spect have arisen from an attempt to restore the balance between the envelopes made at a paper-mill and those made by stationers, disturbed as it was to the disadvantage of the latter by their waste cuttings being stNect to the duty, while those occurring at the mill are reconverted into pulp be fore the charge of duty is made. It is impossible to deny that the principle on which we thus acted is of more extended application; but we have else where explained to your lordships how impracti cable it would be to attempt to carry it into effect. "Equally difficult is it to defend upon prin ciple the subjection of artificial parchment to the paper duty, while the true parchment is free ; yet it is absolutely necessary to maintain (as we did in the Court of Exchequer) that a process of manufacture admitting of no other de scription than that which would be given of paper making must be treated precisely as paper-making, and it is clear that the abandonmentof our claim for duty in the one case would necessarily lead to the same result in the other. We should otherwise gladly have abstained from interfering with this new and ingenious production, which we fear has been ettirely suppressed by the judgment which placed it under the revenue laws. " It would be a very long tesk to enumerate all the cases falling within the class to which we have hitherto confined our remarks; cases, namely, in which the excise survey and duty attaches to one description of manufactured article, while another, its competitor in the market, is left entirely free. In many of them the evil is apparently trifling, though not so in reality ; and even in those which we have noticed the importance of the inequalities in the incidence of the duty will not be duly esti mated, except by those who are conversant withthe effect of very small differences in profit in the course of trade. But we have probably said enough to prove our concurrence in the Chancellor of the Ekelequer's allegations, for we cannot perceive a mot., untenable position for the heads of a revenue department than that in we are placed when, in answer to to-initial persons wilt)se trade is annihilated by our exaction of a duty from which their competitors are exempt, we can only say that such is the necessary consequence of the existence of the tax. It is this unfortunate effect of the paper duty which so distinguishes it for evil ; and it is to this that we limit our observations on the present occasion. Indeed, such inequality of pressure as we have mentioned appears to afford a more valid ground of objection than the mere amount of pres sure which is insisted upon with so much earnest ness and ability by publishers, newspaper proprie tors, and other advocates of the repeal of the paper duty. " With the statments:and:aremments of these gentlemen your lordships are Lubtless familiar, and at all events can require no assistance from us in order to appreciate their importance and their bearing upon the question under consideration. We have, &c., " C. PRESSLY. " C. J. HERRIES. "A. D. GORDON. " The Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury." THE COLLIERY EXPLOSION AT BUI?,RADON: NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, Monday Night. Since yesterday evening not more than six bodies have been got out of the Burradon pit. Last night the " styth, ' a sort of chokedamp, beat the explor ing parties:back about 85 yards, and they have not been making any great advances towards the face of the whole coal to-day. The Government Inspec tor of Mines, Mr. Dunn, informed me this afternoon at the pit that it has been pretty conclusively established that 80 men and boys have been lost ; and, as the bodies of 60 have been found and sent Co bank, 20 more have yet to be recovered. It is supposed that several bodies arc lying under falls of coal and stone that came from the roof of the mine at the Moment of the explosion. The carcasses of 20 dead horses have to be brought to bank yet, which will have to be done as speedily as possible, as they are causing a horrible stench in the Mine, so much so that Mr. Davison, Mr. M'Allister, and Mr. Thompson, surgeons, have had to go down into the pit and employ disinfectants to improve its sanitary condition. The bodies of the two wastemen, Friar and Jeffer son, who went down the pit after the explosion, but who entered the " waste " and perlihed by the after damp, were found between 1 and 2o'clock this morning. They had not got three yards before they were overpowered and killed. It is supposed that they had rushed in to do something with an instrument that regulates the air, as they were found only a few yards from it. One of the bodies picked up this morning was blown into four pieces ; and the head of a horse killed by the explosion was found 50 yards from the carcass. Mr. Reed, the coroner for South Northumberland, as reported in The Alun, opened an inquest on Sa turday night on some of the bodies, and adjourned it until Friday. He held an inquest upon the body •f a boy named Golightly this afternoon, which, with others, has been brought out of the pit since Satuiday. The inquest was held in the colliery-office ; and to appearance—and, in fact, I was informed such was the case—several of the jury men were persons employed about the pit. A more lame and inconclusive investigation was never at tempted to be made into such a fearful occurrence as the one recorded, which has destroyed 80 lives. It is to be hoped that the inquest on Fri lay will go more fully into evidence reported below. Only two overmen belonging to the pit were examined today. Mr. Dunn, the Government Inspector, Mr. Foster, Mr. Carr, and other gentlemen connected, with mines were in the room during the ialrestiga tion. The first witness examined was - morning.that H e came he w Wm. Kerkley, overman at Burradon Colliery, who said a e s u t d a o t w n 8 the e p k i t . a ir s t e Friday all the workings in the first cast bank before he came out, which was the place where he believed the first explosion took place. He was down from 1 o'clock until 8, and while down he found., the air good and free. There could not bo less, in his be lief, than 35,000 cubic feet of air per minute pass ing through the workings. When he visited the pit., according to his estimation, there was sufficient air for the safety of the mine. At the particular place where the first explosion occurred he saw Wm. Williams working in the whole coal. 'There was no indication of gas at that place. Gas escapes from the whole coal at times very unexpectedly. When ho left the pit at 8 o'clock everything ap peared to be satisfactory and safe. After some further evidence, the jury returned a verdict that Golightly had died from the effects of an explosion in Burradon pit, but that there was no evidence to show how it originated. REGENT WILLS AND BEQUESTS.

The will and three codicils of Thomas Wood, Esq., of Littleton, Middlesex, colonel of her Ma jesty's regiment of East Middlesex Militia, and aide de-camp to her Majesty,were proved in London by his eldest son, Major-General Thomas Wood, the sole executor, the personalty being sworn under £25,000. He has devised his real estates in Cardigan and Carmarthen to his eldest son, and has divided his property amongst his other sons and his daughters, to whom liberal legacies and annui ties are bequeathed; and a year's wages to all his servants. The late Captain James Robert Dalton, R.N., had executed his will in France, dated March 26, 1858, and had made a codicil thereto in July, 1858, which was not admitted to probate from its being unattested. He died at Montreuil-sur-filer, on the Ist of January, 1860, where he had been resident for thirty years. The will was administered to by his relict, the sole executrix, and probate was granted to her so far as regards the property in , England and elsewhere, but save and except . such part thereof as may be in France. He has a ppointed his brother, Major-General Charles Dalton, R.A., and his nephew, James Dalton, trustees. He has bequeathed to his wife a life-interest in his pro perty, and has appointed his nephew, James Robert Dalton, reversionary residuary legatee. On the decease of his wife he directs his trustees to invest £5OO, and apply the interest in keeping in repair the tomb of his honoured parents, and of hi s brother-in-law, General Sir Charles Dalbiac, a n d his sister, the wife of the general.—lllu strated London News.

LIFE ASSURANCE ' The fourth annual meeting oeld yesterday, at . the offices Cannon .strcet Vir r ee t E. L. BAGSHAIV, Esq., occupT The usual routine business sactcd, The MANAGER (G. H. Law, Esq.), read the . an nual report as follows : "Your directors have to-day a very simple but very pleasant duty to perfor n. " A faithful survey of the transactions of the past year, the results of which arc embodied in the balance sheet about to be laid before you, enables the directors to report a marked and highly satis factory progress in every department of the busi ness. Without going into all the details in sup port of this statement, it will be sufficient to point to a large accession of new customers, an increase in the amount of current premiums received to the extent of i 0 per cent., and of discounts to 100 ner cent. over those of last year • as well as a consider able addition to the li s t o f depositors. item very The purchase habarl e charges' for and appropriate o o r f the the 1 a a r s e; premisesa bnudt Souri n fixtures fhti directorshe you are now a ssem bl e d, and the removal of the business th ere t o , h ave , of course, increased the feel sure of youe hearty concurrence in what Gan net-fail to aid in the general advancement of the best interests of the company. "The directors have also the gratification of being able to anticipate a very considerable reduc tion in the general expenditure during the current year. "The promise of the future is certainly not less cheering than the actual realisations of the past. The indications all around point to immensely greater activity in the monetary and commercial operations of the country, and under much healthier influences than have for some years past favoured them ; the result of which, your directors feel, must inevitably be that the wealth of those that have it will speedily find its way, in order to profitable em ployment, into the hands of those who have it not. " One of the powers contained in the deed of settlement, hitherto dormant, has recently been put into operation —namely, Ordinary Permanent Life Insurance;' and a not inconsiderable number of policies have already been effected, and your direc tors feel justified in looking to this source for a large augmentation of the profits of the company ; espe cially when they remember that the transaction of this business will require only a slight additional .expense. " In this department particularly the share holders are reminded how great the service they may render by inducing their friends to insure their lives in the Life Assurance Treasury. " With the experience of the past four years be _ fore cu—with the business steadily improving, both in quality and amount—with the entire confi dence of that large number of highly respectable persons who transact business with the company — with the evidence which the last two months afford of the promise of a much greater increase of busi ness during 1860—and with the anticipated favour able result of the further developement, from time to time, of the powers of the deed of settlement, your directors feel fully warranted in holding out to the shareholders the realisation, at no distant day, of seeing, the Life Assurance Treasury not merely one of the most profitable, but also one of the most useful of public companies. " We have now to call your attention to the more immediate business of the day. The balance sheet, indorsed by the gentle Men appointed as the audi tors for the year, will be laid before you. " The retiring directors are Edm. Lloyd Bag shawe, and Albert Cockshaw, Esqrs., and, being eligible, we ask you to re-elect them. " CHRISTOPHER M'ADATtt, Esq., of Bath, having qualified himself for a director, and bringing with him considerable influence, you are recommended cordially to elect him to a seat at the board in the room of the late Rev. H. P. Hought on. " The only other appointments to be made to day ar6 those of the auditors, George Pearce Pocock and Launcelot Newton, Esqrs., who offer themselves for re-election. " The usual rate of interest on the capital of the company for the past year, namely 5 per cent, per annum, is recommended to be paid to the share ho!ders. " Since the last annual meeting your directors exceedingly regret to state, that two highly esteemed members of their body have been removed by death, and their seats left vacant at the board— the Right Hon. the Earl of Devon and the Rev. Henry Phillip Haught.m. The chairmanship of the court of directors, which his lordship so ably and so usefully filled since the estabishment of the ' company, still remains vacant, and will of course continue so until a suitable successor to the vener able earl can be found ; but they cannot suffer the occasion to pass without expressing their deep sense of the loss the company has thus sustained." The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said the account was so satisfactory, that he need but detain them a few minutes with any remarks of his own. The success that had attended the operations of the society, during the past year, had been most remarkable, and the prospects for the future were as bright as the must ardent friend of the company could desire. After briefly allud ing to the principal points in the report, the chair man concluded his observations by moving the usual motion. Mr. BLACK, in seconding the motion of the,ebair man, said the report bore evidence-as to th6oeat amount of ilr e f wpf4rAgtil4' *teen 'exercised by - dire49rsr- aff as the expenses of the past year lad been, the directors promised still further re ductions. (Hear, hear.) It was exceedingly gra tifying to find the great increase that had taken place in their business, and the dividend of five per cent. was also satisfactory, especially as it was one that could be safely declared. He was not insensible to a dividend of 6,7, or even 10 per cent.—(laugh ter) —and he had no doubt such would ultimately be received by the shareholders, yet he thought the directors had exercised the soundest policy in giving a dividend that had been fairly and honourably earned, and one which, he felt assured, all parties would be satisfied with. (Hear, hear.) He could not resume his scat without again complimenting the board of directors on the they had exercised. The CHAIRMAN, having previously asked whe ther any shareholders wished any questions an swered, put the resolution for the adoption of the report to the meeting, and declared it carried unanimously. Mr. POCOCK then moved that the retiring direc tors, A. Cockshaw,Esq. and E. L. Bagshawe,:Esq., be re-elected. Mr. LAMB, of Wigan, said he had great pleasure in seconding the motion of Mr. Pocock. In. Wigan the society was going on in a most satisfactory manner. The business there in the last two years had been very great , and in the transaction of it not a single penny had been lost during the whole of that period. (Hear, heal, and cheers.) The motion was carried unanimously. On the motion of Mr. NEWTON, seconded by Mr. TUELCiN, Chris. APAdam, Esq., of Bath, was elected a director of the company. Mr. BRETT moved a resolution to the . effect that interest at the rate of 5 p er cent. be paid to the shareholders for the past year. The resolution was seconde d by Mr. DENToN, and carried unanimously. A cordial vote of thanks was given to H. G. Law, Esq., the manager, for his great exertions on be half of the society. The same compliment was also, on the motion of Mr. PEPPER, awarded to the chairman.
