IP`.. o e r T l h ay e i S na hipbuildi ng Yard possesses a frontage to the sea upwards of 1,200 feet, in which there will be capacity down twenty ships, taking an average of 60 feet I n 'width for each ship. As at present constituted, the esta blishment comprises a first-class stone-built Dry Dock, 260 fee by - Y 5 2. feet, in perfect working, condition, with steam engine, circular-siw gear, smiths' shops, timber sheds, offices, and buildings, with slips, quays, and other necessary ap pliances, all in good repair. On the premises there is a capital 413 . 8 kiln, four excellent dwelling-houses, suitable for the nianager and employ& of the Company, six cottages for foremen, &c., a good supply of fresh water, and an abund ance of lime and building stone. It is proposed to lengthen the present dry dock 50 feet, to construct . two additional dry docks and one large float ing dock, to be divided by caissons ; also additional frontage quays, and to extend the appliances generally, with the 'view of the construction and repair of iron and wooden ships, the manufacturing of marine and other engines, armour and other plate, angle iron, and every description of iron work. For the purposes of the Company the position of the premises is not to be sulpassed(as will be seen by the plan); they are in close proximity to Sutton Harbour, forming the seaboard of Catwater anchorage, and are completely sheltered, first by the Plymouth Breakwater, and next by the peninsula of Mount Batten, in addition to which the approaches to the premises are completely com manded by the guns of the citadel. The Branch Station of the South Devon Railway Company is situated in the immediate vicinity, and her Majesty's Dockyard, Devon port, is within an easy distance. This Company will offer unusual facilities for carrying On the proposed business in consequence of both labour and the frei g ht of iron, coal, and timber being extremely low, added to which much expense will be saved, as the Materials will be delivered on the quays of the Company free of all dues and charges. At present there are no Iron Shipbuilding Works at rl Ymouth, and much inconvenience and expense often re 61in to shipowners in consequence of vessels outward bound having to put back to London for repair. The Directors consider it unnecessary to allude to the ether advantages possessed by this Company, further than to state that there is a great and growing demand for such works as they propose to carry on. ,The operations of the Company will be conducted by 41r • Joseph Banks, who will devote his well-known expo ty ience exclusiv e ly to the interests of t Coman, aided gentlem en of acknowledged mechani he cal ski p ll. y As the Whole of the valuable property has been ceded to the Direc -075 terms which are considered highly advantageous, profitable result of the undertaking may be deemed as assu red.

At the FIRST GENERAL ORDINARY MEETING of the SHAREHOLDERS held at the Offices of the company, 85, Cannon-street West, on Thursday, the 27th day of April, 1865, GEORGE PAYNE KITSON, Esq., in the Chair, the following REPORT was presented:— REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS For theginekonths ending the 31st March, 1865. The Directois have the pleasure to submit their first Report and Balance-sheet to the 31st ultimo. The statement of account shows a profit of £96,121 7s. 7d., with which, after deducting expenses amounting to £7,843 4s. ld., the Directors propose to deal as follows : By recommending the payment of a dividend at the rate of £lO per cent. per annum, amounting to £20,000, inclusive of the interim -dividend already paid; by placing to a reserve fund the sum of £60,000 ; by allocating £5,000 in discharge in full for the preliminary expenses ; and carrying the balance forward to next account. The Directors venture to think they may congratulate the shareholders upon the successful results of their opera tions at the very outset of their career. They wish at the same time to explain that in dealing with the large profits which have been made, they have decided upon limiting their recommendation of a dividend to 10 per cent. per annum, and recommend the appropriating of the balance in the manner before-mentioned, because, from the peculiar character of their business, the actual profits, although positively earned, have not yet been wholly received in cash. The Directors are restrained from entering into any detail of their transactions, for the obvious reasons that their business is also the business of other companies and per sons, whose affairs they are not warranted in disclosing ; and, besides, their doing so could not be otherwise than detrimental to the interests of this Company. The Directors have, however, much pleasure in stating, for the information of the Shareholders, that the portion of the business secured which has already arrived at a con dition to be, and has actually been, turned over to the Company, will yield such large and certain profits, so secured as 'to be free from all contingencies whatever, that your Directors feel justified in giving the assurance that, out of the profits from these alone, without at all calcu lating on the business which is to be turned over to the Company when fully matured, they will be enabled to re commend during each of the next four or five years annual dividends considerably exceeding that which you aro now called on to declare. In conclusion, the Directors wish to express their con viction that the position of the business of the Company renders it unnecessary to make any further call. GEO. KITSON, Chairman.

TIMES.—The Canadian Deputies just arrived in this country have enjoyed an early opportunity of publicly explaining the views of their countrymen and the objects of their present mission. It is well known that the scheme for a general Confederation of the provinces of British North America, which at first seemed to meet with unanimous approval on the spot, and was cordially supported by the Impe rial Government, received a check at the late colonial elections. New Brunswick returned candidates ad verse to the project, and the vote of that province, in fact, was cast against the proposal. It is true that the majority was not large in itself, and that the entire population of the dissentient colony was of slight numerical significance. Still, there was the opposition established, and it was sufficient, if main tained, to defeat the whole scheme. The proposed Union was impracticable if a single province stood out. As soon, therefore, as the results of the New Brunswick elections were known, the Canadian Government decided promptly on a new course of action. The Ministry completed the business of the Session in Parliament, took the necessary votes of credit, including £200,000 for colonial defences, and then deputed two of their number to proceed to England and confer with the Imperial Government upon the views of the colonists, the attitude of New Brunswick, and the prospects of the scheme. Ac cordingly Mr. Cartier, the Attorney-General for Lower Canada, and Mr. Galt, the Finance Minister of the province, have arrived in this country, and the banquet at the Fishmongers'-hall on Wednesday evening enabled them to speak their minds and dis close their desires. Of this opportunity they availed themselves with uncompromising frankness and courage. Mr. Cartier treats the whole question as a question of interests, but he maintains that the several interests involved are identical, and not conflicting. Canada, he admits, desires a seaboard, and looks upon the maritime provinces much as Prussia looks upon Schleswig. No country is really great, he says, without ships and commerce. The Canadians have a boundless territory, and, compa ratively speaking, a numerous population, but they lack that maritime element in their national con stitution which conduces so powerfully to the great ness of England. On the other hand, the maritime provinces, though they have the sea at their service, are circumscribed in territory, and are but thinly inhabited. Link all together in a well-devised Con federation, and each province would gain the ad vantages of the other without losing its own. This argument disposes of colonial interests. Then the interest of the mother country would be equally promoted at the same time. England has no wish but to see her Colonies prosperous and strong, and union is strength everywhere. Especially is it de sirable that Canada should neglect no element of defensive power ; for the contingency which has been discussed, both in the British Parliament and the French Assembly forces itself upon our con sideration, and cannot possibly be overlooked. In case of so deplorable an event as a war between Great Britain and America, the Americans might be expected to attack Canada, and Mr. Cartier grap ples boldly with the Auestion. He trusts the case may never occur, and if it does, Canada, he says, will be in the battle-field, and Canadians will ac cept the burden. They will look to this country for support, but they will contribute to the common work of defence as far as their means will allow, and those means would be largely increased by a Confederation of the provinces. The position of Canada must be a trying one, for though the cause of such a war must necessarily be Imperial, the worst of its calamities would fall on the colonists. Nevertheless, the colonists do not shrink from the prospect. They have no desire to be annexed to the United States, or become absorbed in the Ame rican Republic. " Such an idea," says Mr. Cartier, "we view with horror." So, looking these chances boldly in the face, Canadians come to this country and discuss the obligations before them. They do h not ask for more than they already possess ; on to contrary, they come, as Mr. Gait declared,. show that if this Confederation be carried out they . will be able to assume a greater responsibih a t! than that which has hitherto fallen on Canada." Lastly, both Deputies were emphatic assurances that no ulterior views of independence ln or separation entered into this scheme for uniting the North American provinces, and that it was not for, the sake of standing alone or discarding their allegiance that the Colonies wished to becomem cp o e re t powerful than they are. We are wi lling to accept all these assurances, and we need It i hardly leaan lyadsdtto that we receive them with satisfaction. _er the learn that our colonists are ex: conte ntecl uncl British Crown, and that they understand the ad vantages of their position. 'We are complimented by the value they put upon the connexion, and we have not the least wish to see it impaired. We feel, too, that a Confederation of Colonies thus situated must be advantageons to all of them, and so plain, indeed, does the fact appear that it hardly seems to need argument. -But when Mr. Cartier informs us that he and his colleague have come. here " in order to impress upon the British Government the abso lute necessity of carrying out the scheme of Confe deration," we cannot but think that the truth would be inculcated to better purpose on the people of New Brunswick than on the Government of this country. We cannot coerce the New Brunswickers into a new political union, nor can we object to their remaining in the position which they, have so long occupied without complaint on our part or theirs. We think the offer now made to them is a good one, and that they do ill to refuse it; but if they profess to be content as they are, it would be very hard for us to interfere. The Confederation scheme is no project of ours. It comes to us from the Colonies, and it is for the Colonies to decide upon it. Be lieving it to be full of • promise, we have cordially accepted it, and the colonists have been already ap prised that so far as the Imperial Government is concerned its approval and good wishes are given. But the work must he done on the other side of the Atlantic ; it is only indirectly that it can be pro moted here. We should hope that the account given of the New Brunswick elections is correct, and that the accidents of a political contest, rather than any deep convictions on the project of a Confederation, determined the provincial vote. After all, even upon the aggregate of polls, the majority against the scheme was but 455—a slender balance enough to sway the destinies of half a continent. We know full well in this country how many elements enter into a popular election, and how a mere local ques tion may influence a great political verdict. The people of New Brunswick cannot be blind to the advantages of Union, strength, and the prosperity by which strength and Union would be followed. That small local interests may clash with interests of a higher kind is probable enough, and we have already observed on former occasions that an oppo sition based on such considerations would meet with no approval in this country. But all that we can do is to make our opinions known. If the Ca nadian Deputies can establish to the satisfaction of the Imperial Government the case which they have so frankly stated, they will be able to return with the assurance that we wish every success to the pro ject of Confederation, and that the ratification of the Crown will not be wanting when the accord of the provinces is complete. Such arguments, how ever, ought to be as cogent in New Brunswick as in England, and that little colony should either re consider its decision, or show reasonable cause for impeding so promising a scheme. POST. --Never since Mr. Gladstone first under took the duties of a Financial Minister has he been called upon to make his annual statement of the re venue and expenditure of the country under more favourable circumstances than those under whichhe addressed himself last evening to the House of Com mons. An unpractised and an uncouth speaker would, with the materials at the disposal of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, have made, if not an attractive statement, at least one which would have commanded the attention of his hearers ; but in the hands of so practised an orator as Mr. Gladstone it is scarcely necessary to say those materials were woven into a speech which was perhaps the most attractive, and certainly the most instructive, that has ever been addressed to the present House of Commons. The last occasion on which it was pos sible that he could tinfoil a Budget to the present House not unnaturally suggested to Mr. Gladstone the propriety of furnishing it with a review of those financial changes which have been effected since it first met, and it must be confessed that the vista on which he was enabled to direct the eyes of those whom he addressed was such as no Minister of Finance has ever before been able to look back upon after so brief a period of time—an expendi ture considerably reduced, taxes largely remitted, a revenue increasing in a progressive ratio, to an extent which would be incredible were it not sub stantiated by the most conclusive statistics. Such was. the substance of the review of the past with which Mr. Gladstone prepared the House of Com mons for the acceptance of his schemes for the future. Nor, indeed, is there any fact connected with the commercial history of this country during the past few years more extraordinary than the steady growth in the reproductive powers of those various sources from which our revenues are derived, despite the attempts made by remission of taxation to check the stream of supply. Dividing the last quarter of a century into three periods, Mr. Glad stone, by way of illustrating this progressive deve lopment of what we may call the revenue-producing powers of the country, showed that from the year 1840 to 1852 the revenue exhibited an average im provement of a little over £1,000,000 a year ; during the period extending from 1853 to 18Z 9 the average annual increase of revenue was £1,250,000 ; and during the last period, namely, from 1859 to the present time, this average annual increase in the revenue had amounted to as much as £1,780,000. With these figures before him it is not surprising that the Chancellor of the Exchequer should have taken occasion to pay an eloquent and well-merited tribute to the memory of that man, so recently taken from amongst us, to whose untiring exertions in the cause of free trade these results are mainly to be attributed. For the salient features of the Budget the public were well prepared. It was known that Mr. Gladstone had an enormous sur plus, and large remissions of taxation were looked for as a matter of course. Nor have these expecta tions been ill-founded. The estimated expenditure for the year 1865-66 has been furnished to Par liament as £66,139,000, and as the revenues for the same period, assuming no alteration was made in existing taxes, are calculated to produce £70,170,000, an available surplus remains of £4,031,000. This surplus the Chancellor of the Exchequer pro poses to dispose of in a manner which, except from one class, we should say will meet with the assent of the entire community. To direct taxation the people of this country, and we may add of every other, entertain an aversion so strong that it can yield alone to supreme necessity. When the income tax was imposed, now a good many years ago, hopes —so strong as almost to amount to a distinct pledge —were. held 'out that the obnoxious impost should be levied for only a limited number of years. It is easier, however, to impose a burden than to remove it ; and the promise made by Sir Robert Peel has, from the force of circumstances, never been kept. But, next to abolishing a tax, the best thing is to partially remit it ; and, whenever a surplus has been at the disposal of a financial Minister, his first care has always been to reduce the tax upon property. And accordingly, out of his surplus of four millions, Mr Gladstone gives £1,650,000 to the payers of income tax. Last year the tax was reduced by one penny. This year two pence are taken off, and it consequently stands for the ensuing year at four pence in the pound. It would perhaps be too much to hope that it will shortly, if ever, disappear ; but it is some consolation to find that it has reached proportions which certainly deprive it of much of that oppressive character which has hitherto made it so obnoxious. The loss to the revenue accruing from this remission is probably over-estimated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for with an in come tax so low as fourpence, it seems not unlikely that the public will furnish more accurate returns of their;lproperty than they have hitherto done. Foremost amongst what have been termed war taxes is the duty on tea, and a further remission of sixpence per pound will g i ve scarcely less Teasatisfac tionis than the reduction of the income the essary of and has long been in this country, life, and, so far from being what it once was, a ou commodity solely within the reach of the - n lent, forms an article of daily By th e abandon ment of sixpence on consume p o amongst the poorest elss tea, G es a d e s n t ot finsfinancial - lates that he will loss s e o p year £1,860,000—a o r l w hi c h in the course of the f o ll ow i n g one, judging from the experience of the past, he believes will be compensated in part of in aThe tax on fire insurance he creased consumption. proposes uniform rate of ls. 6d. on proposes to impoosfe property ; a change willwhich all descriptions unquestionably be -beneficial by removing the vexa inutr6aod,oeo. £260,000 on tious distinctions at present existing between the duty on bonsai() proPe w r till landose stock about this change the revenue the current year. A few unimportant changes have been effected with regard to stamps, which will pro duce no sensible effect on the Exchequer. On summing up the various losses which will accrue from the above remission, there will still remain out of the original surplus of four millions a balance of about a quarter of a million, which Mr. Gladstone proposes to retain in hand. The malt tax the Chancellor of the Exchequer leaves untouched. We will not on the present occasion consider the reasons which he advanced for refusing to yield to the de mands of the agriculturists, as it is not unlikely that the postponement of their claims will lead to warm debate before the resolutions embodied in the Blulget are approved of by the house.

THE ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT LINCOLN. Upon his lordship taking his seat Mr. HENRY LOWMAN TAYLOR rose and requested to be allowed to address the court. The LORD MAYOR said he anticipated upon what subject the hon. member wished to speak, but there were some formal proceedings to be gone through, after which he himself would make a few remarks. The minutes of the last court were passed as cor rect, and some docquets were passed under the City seal. The LORD MAYOR then rose and said he was sure he could anticipate the feelings of the court as to the melancholy news which had reached them mind, and th a t was t h e utmost opinion P e detestation n from America, an d h e f elt that they could not but feel with him a di sgus t at so foul an act as the as sassination of Presid en t Li ncoln of the United States. He was quite su re th ere would be but one every at such an ab om i na bl e act. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HENRY LOWMAN TAYLOR and Mr. R. N. r L a tat r io PHILLIPS rose at the same moment for the purpose of addressing his lordship and the court, neither seeming inclined to give way to the other. The LORD MAYOR seemed inclined to favour Mr. Phillips, as he said he had waited upon him early in the morning upon. the 0.14e4 t ,,,, The members of the court, however, called upon Mr. Taylor, and the Lord Mayor said the best mode would be 'to decide by a show of hands, which was done, and the result being in favour of Mr. Taylor, Mr. Philips resumed his seat. Mr. TAYLOR proceeded to address the court, and said he could have most sincerely wished that the decision the court had just arrived at in giving him the preference to offer a few remarks upon so sor rowful a subject had been one of a different cha racter. Nothing had ever affected the mind of every citizen, and the public in general, more than the sad and deplorable news that had been commu nicated to this country from America ; and the citizens of London, one and all, he was sure, deeply sympathised with the American people in the deep calamity which had befallen them. (Hear, hear.) It was only right this court, the reflex of the City of London, should take the earliest opportunity of evincing their sympathy at such a deplorable and sad event, and he was sure every member of the court was desirous of evincing his deep concern at an event which had taken them all so much by sur prise. For years, perhaps, nothing had come upon them with greater suddenness, and caused so much excitement as the death by the hands of an assassin, of a man who, he believed, was always actuated by the best motives to do all in his power for the interests of his beloved country. It was a subject which could be dwelt upon at great length ; but it would beenough forhim to give expressionto whathe was sure, were the feelings of every member of the court, in the resolution he would propose, and he closed his remarks with the hope that it would in sufficient terms convey the sympathy of the greatest municipal body in the country. Mr. Taylor then read the following resolution :—" That this court desires, before proceeding to the business of the day, to express its profound sympathy with the people of the United States of America at the loss sustained not only by them, but by this country, in the melancholy death of President Lincoln by the hands of an assassin ; and, remembering that the last acts of his life have been to breathe peace and conciliation amidst the deplorable strife of civil war, this court cannot but feel deep sorrow at his untimely end." Mr. Alderman Sheriff BESLEY seconded the mo tion, and in doing so said it was quite unnecessary that he should use any language to deprecate assas sination. It was always most repugnant to the feelings of an Englishman, and he need not there fore express his detestation of such an atrocity. In the present position of this country with the United States he was sure such an expression of sympathy would do much good, and he hoped the American people would receive it in the spirit it was tendered. He thought they could not have begun better than by tendering their heartfelt sympathy to that coun try for the deprivation which they had sustained, and he was sure no one would feel other than utter dotorstc‘tion at ouch an abominable atrocity. Mr. R. N. PHILIPPS said it needed but few words from him to support the motion. It had be en dwelt upon by Mr. Taylor and seconded by the worthy alderman. What had passed at the com mencement was a conveyance of the feelings of every member that that court should be the first to offer its sympathy, and that there should be no delay in the matter. He believed that that court would not be alone in its expression of regret, as from what he gathered the same feelings were entertained and would at different meetings be expressed by every body all over the country, as he was sure every one was desirous of expressing their abhor rence and detestation of such a barbarous act, and to show to those who inhabit North America, who were the descendants of those who originally left this country to cultivate the soil of America, the sympathy which they felt. Mr. H. JONES, whilst concurring in all that had been said by other members, thought the resolution ought to be altered and made to express the detes tation felt by the court at the horrible deed. Acting upon that suggestion, Mr. H. L. Taylor and one or two other members, forming a com mittee, retired into the aldermen's chamber and the resolution was revised. The following is the form in which it was put : " That the corporation desires, before proceeding to the business of the day, to express its profound sympathy with the United States of America in the loss sustained by the deed of assassination of Mr. Lincoln, the President of the United States, and record its detestation of the atrocious crime which has been committed." This, together with a motion also by Mr. Taylor, "That a copy of the above re solution be sent to the American Minister in Lon don, with a request that he will transmit the same to the Secretary of State at Washington and to Mrs Lincoln," was unanimously agreed to. S CIENTI FIC jorriNGs.--There is an affection of the nails, called onyxis, which has hitherto' proved extremely obstinate. The extremity of the finger swells l eav ing a sorefrom which a sanius pus the eon tninailuaslifyall off leaving ls, and this state of things, not unaccom panied with pa i n , will last for months ; nay, th ere h ave been cases of 18 months' duration, and only cured by am putation. Dr. do Moerlose seems to have found a specific for this local affection , which generally attacks children of a scrofulous habit. He covers the whole sore with a layer of nitrate of lead, which he renews every 24 hours, and this treatment will in two or three weeks effect a complete cure. In a paper addressed to the Academy of Medicine, Dr. Domerc quotes several new cases of croup and diphtheria which have been successfully treated by the excision of the tonsils. After the operation, which causes a great effusion of blood, gargles of 10 grammes of iodide of potas sium, and 10 gins, of nitrate of potash in a litre of water, alternating with gargles of a decoction of marsh mallows, are prescribed. D r . D o merc also quotes a case affording a strong presumption that croup is contagious. When milk turns, this effect is caused by the development of an acid in the liquid. This chemical change may be effectually prevented by adding to the milk one gramme of bicarbo nate of soda per litre. This addition is by no means inju rious to health ; on the contrary, bi-carbonate of soda aids digestion. One of the great dairies of Paris employs no other method but this for preserving the milk it keeps I on sale. JUVENILE ROBINSON CP.USOES.—The Bombay Marine Court investigated a rather curious case last week. Two respectably connected boys entered them selves as apprentices on board the ship John Allen, of London, for Bombay, with the avowed intention of leaving the ship and leading a sort of Robinson Crusoe life on some uninhabited island in the Pacific. They were missed when the vessel was off Quilon, and though the captain returned and cruised about for some days, also went ashore and offered rewards to the native fishermen for information about them, his efforts were quite unsuccessful. The boys had been kindly treated on board the ship, acid no blame can be attributed to the captain or crew.—Xosslisay Gazette, March 28. H E 0 X F 0 It D , 6, OXFO ttD sTREET, W.
