R EPORT of the Directors submitted to the Third Ordi nary General Meeting of the Proprietors at the London Tavern, on Tuesday, the 22d January, 1866, JOHN CHAPMAN, Esq., in the Chair. T• he Directors have the pleasure of presenting their • it for the half-year ending December 31, 1865, toge ther with a Statement of Accounts made up to that date. The balanceof undivided profi is brought forward after p a yment of the dividend in July last was £53,141 155., and the amount of ne t p ro fit realised during the past half-year, a Payment of expenses, and after providing for all bad and doubtful debts, and for rebate of interest on Loans sad Bills not yet matured, is £91,860 17s. 7d., making a total of £145,002 12s. 7d. to be now disposed of. Good evidence of the satisfactory progress of the Asso ciation is afforded by this statement, which fully bears out t he confident opinion e xpressed by the Directors a t th e last general meeting. It is recommended that the above sum be appropriated as follows, viz., that— 000 0 be applied to the payment 'Of dend for the past six months of 10s. per share, being at the rate 0f.20 per cent. per annum : 833 6 8 to the payment of income tax: and that from the balance the sum of 7 5,000 0 0 be placed to the credit of a " Rest ;" leaving a sum of 10,169 5 11 to be carried forward. £145,002 12 7 The Directors have resolved to commence the forma ti°ll of a "Rest" as essentially conducive to the best inte rests of the Association. It ma— „„ ybe mentioned as an important feature that the e u'ure amount of the profits for the half-year results from a continuous succession of transactions of a very regular 4 . e scription, and of a nature to indicate that no apprelien in need be entertained as to the permanent character of 1).0 business in which the Association is engagd ©~ and the rectors believe that with a continued exercise of care 1 114 discrimination the Association will attain a position not inferior to that of any other monetary institution in the kingdom.

In the Senate, Foreign Enlistment Act, with the provision abolish ing all existing laws on neutrality. During the debate on the resolution for the pro clamation of non-intercourse with England, Senator Johnson said that it was a very important matter, and that the mere offering of the resolution had created great solicitude. Ile moved to table the resolution. Mr. Chandler wished the resolution to be referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. Mr. Sumner thought that a reference to that committee was the best course to pursue. The resolution was then tabled. The House of Representatives have concurred in the resolution of the Senate empowering the Recon struction Committee to send for certain persons and papers. - The order for mustering out all coloured troops in Texas has been revoked. Rumours are current in Toronto that arrange ments have been concluded with Washington to continue the Reciprocity Treaty beyond March next. NEW YORK, Jan. 16 (Evening.) Mr. Chandler has introduced the following reso lution in the Senate : " Whereas England refuses to settle the Alabama claims, the President is requested to withdraw the American Minister from England and issue a pro clamation of national non-intercourse." The resolution was tabled by a vote of 25 to 12. A resolution has been offered and laid over re commending the immediate trial of Messrs. Davis and Clay by military commission. All the volunteer troops in the department of Virginia have been mustered out. The report in the American journals that the Federal troops would be withdrawn from Alabama and Georgia was unauthorised. General Grant, in replying to an application for their withdrawal, does not recommend such a step until there is ample security for the protection of all classes in the late rebellious States. He doubts the propriety cf arming the militia while the Federal troops remain in the South. The Federal Adjutant in Mississippi has revoked the order disarming the negroes. The Treasury agents in Charleston have arrested the principal officials and seized the books and assets of several blockade-running companies organised during the war. They have forbidden them to dispose of their assets, and the matter has been re ferred to Washington for adjudication. The Federal troops have recaptured the steamer Lilly, taken by outlaws on the Alabama river. 75 bales of Government cotton had been landed, and the outlaws had expressed their determination to prevent any Government cotton running on the Alabama river. All Government employe's at Fort Monroe, for merly in the service of the Confederate Government, have been dismissed, in consequence, it is said, of fears that they intended to attempt the rescue of Mr. Davis. General Sweeney, the Fenian Secretary of War, has joined the Senate organisation, and has issued a call for prompt military action. The City of Baltimore has arrived out. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

The New York Herald states that President Johnson is considerably indisposed, but that no fears are entertained of serious illness. The New York Times denies the reported Cabinet changes. In the Senate Mr. Chandler offered a resolution, asking the President for information whether there have been any violations of neutrality on the part of the army occupying the right bank of the Rio Grande. The Royal Mail Steamship Company's steamer Canada arrived at Queenstown at 5.45 a.m. to-day (29th January). She brings 51 passengers and $38,124.

Amos Kendall has erected a house of wor ship for a Baptist Church in Washington, D. C., at a cost of $60,000, and generously donated it to the church. Major-General John C.

Hammond, late Surgeon-General of the United States, is in Europe in charge of a grandson of the late John Jacob Astor; and a gossippiug corre spondent says that he receives for his services $lO,OOO in gold for six months, all travelling and subsistence ex penses liberally paid, and $3,000 for each month occupied 'beyond the six. Dr. Bradford, Public Administrator of the City of New York, has confessed that he is a defaulter to the amount of $35,000 or $40,000. He says he took the money to speculate in stocks. The rebel General Mercer, who is on trial at Savannah for the murder of seven Union soldiers, is'a grandson of the Revolutionary General of that name.

Mr. William Lloyd Garrison has discontinued the publication of the Boston Liberator. In his last number he bids an affectionate farewell to his friends, who have aided him so many years. Jubal Early writes from Havana that he is " a voluntary exile from his country because lie is not willing to submit to the foreign yoke imposed upon it." If we read aright the accounts of the campaigns in the Shenandoah Valley, Jubal E. was an " involuntary exile " from that section of the country. Mrs. Clement C.

Sartiges, the French Ambassador; in Spanish with Don Calderon, ; in Dutch with Baron Von Gerolt ; in Portuguese with De Figanere, and in the purest Italian with the Representative of the Two Sicilies. The distinguished party were surprised and charmed, and some thought the Yankee polyglot could have added the Chinese had a Representative of the Celestials been present. _ _ The debt of Boston is over $10,000,000.

A prominent topic of discussion in financial circles is the effect which the increasing plethora of money and the pre vailing loss of confidence are likely to produce on general There is little doubt that the depression in public confi dence, of which a proof will be found in our account of the week's fleet tiat:oos in the same market, is closely connec:ed with the anticipated effects of the contraction movement of the Secretary of the Treasury. • If so, this general feeling of vague distrust will probably pass away when the practical character of that measure is better understood. The well known mischiefs of violent contraction of the currency are what seemed to be dreaded by our business men ; but in the presentand prospective condition of the national Treasury such violent sudden contraction would defeat its own pur pose, and is equally unnecessary and improbable. On Monday Mr. Morrill, from the committee of ways and means, reported to the Rouse of Representatives a bill for consolidating the public debt. This bill, with some modifi cations, will no doubt become law; and it is beyond doubt the mostimportant financial measure of the session. In the examination of its details our readers must keep in mind the state of things with which the bill has to deal, and the difficulties it is designed to meet. The chief of these difficulties is the large amount of our short-date floating obligations. Of our national debt, which amounts altogether to about 2,800 millions, some 1,100 millions aro represented:, by long bonds, none of which ma ture before the year 1880. The remainder of the debt, or almost 1,700 millions, is of shorter date, the larger part of it falling duo in 1867 and 1868. The problem to be solved by the bill before us, then, is to raise 1,700 millions of dollars during the next two years, or as soon thereafter as the money may be wanted to extinguish the greenbacks and other outstanding obligations of the Treasury. Mr. M'Culloch, when he was hero a fortnight ago, expressed the opinion that the income of the Government from taxa tion will be enough to pay all new claims and current ex penditure. If so, the above-mentioned 1,700 millions aro all that will be necessary to provide for by a luau. Now, there aresome among us who say that this amount is too large for us to raise without appealing to foreign capitalists for aid. But the Treasury report recently pre sented to Congress shows that during the last year of the war wo raised by loans and taxes no less than 1,897,674,224 dollars. We shall surely be able to raise 1,700 millions in several years if during a single year of war we raised 1,900 millions, without impoverishment, without prostrating our national industry, and without producing more than a transi tory retardation of the swift, deep, widening current of our national wealth. And, in estimating that wealth—in measuring the extent of our recuperative powers, and of our strength to bear the burdens of the war—the anticipa tions of the most sanguine among us have always fallen short, while the vaticinations of the prophets of evil have been uniformly refuted. Nothwithstauding these gratify ing facts, however, there are, as we have said, a few per sons both in and out of Congress who take the gloomy view of our financial position.—New York Financial chronicle. The New York advises continue to confirm the view taken by the most prudent American merchants as to the peculiar features of the existing course of business, and to show that as far as sanguine intolerance and dread of discussion are concerned our speculative operators at Liverpool, Glasgow, and elsewhere are much more Ameri can than the Americans themselves. Thus, while one. American writer speaks with misgivings of the enormous foreign debt rolling up against the country, others venture to point out the future drain that must be met for mere in terest from the constant sales of United States bonds in Europe, and the impolicy of allowing the process to go on. At the same time, the Controller of the Currency, in his formal report, speaks of "the waves of the uncertain sea on which the business of the country now rides," and adds that, looking at the financial troubles before them, it will require no little wisdom, courage, and earnest effort to avert shipwreck. The present letters mention no events of commercial importance. The severity of the weather had checked transactions, and had likewise caused much interruption to telegraphic communication. The mer cantile community had just sustained a severe loss in the death of ono t) its most honorable and influential members, Mr. li. B. Miutura, of the firm of Grinnell, Minturn, and Co. With regard to the plan of financial operations just presented to Congress by the Secretary of the Treasury the Sew York Alward of Commerce contains the following:— "There is a disposition to pause and digest the pro position now before Congress, to place almost unlimited power in the hands of the Secretary in relation to future loans and the funding of the floating debt of the Govern ment. This plan allows the secretary to sell any class of bonds, not over 40 years to run, at any price, in any part of the world, for money, Government securities, or foreign exchange, the interest being limited at 6 per cent. if payable in this country, or at 5 per cent. if payable abroad. We have no idea that this will result, if adopted, in the negociation of a large foreign loan ; but it would enable the Secretary to place a certain amount of Government securities abroad, and to draw against them, thus ' regulating' the exchange and keeping the home market easy while he was funding his floatingdebt. It may seem like placing a large discretion in the hands of a single man, but we believe that Mr. M'Culloch would not betray the trust. The only important official act ho has performed which has been disapproved was the secret sale of gold so long continued to the scandal of the Sub-Treasury and the chagrin of right-minded men of all parties. That course even hismost zealous partisans hero have not dared to defend. But we care not how large the powers con ferred upon him may be if he will act openly in the view of all the world. Secret manipulations of gold by family friends we shall always condemn ; even if designed in good faith the method of execution will be open to suspi cion. But a largo individual discretion, with strict ac countability, is not necessarily a cause for apprehension." From Messrs. E. F. Satterthwaite and Co.'s Weekly Circular, January 24.) By our advices from New York to the 9th inst., by the "Australasian," we find that the market for Government Securities had been dervessed by the proposal of the Government to convert a large amount of its currency indebtedness into 40 years Bonds. The fall was limited to about one per cent. In prospect of an early large contrac tion of currency, Railroad Securities of all descriptions had given way, and the entire list shows a decline of from $2 to $6. Money continued abundant, as evidenced by the large increase, under tho head of deposits, in the Bank return—more than fifteen millions in a fortnight. Gold was quoted 138 i, with a declining tendency, Via "Roches Point," we have received the following quotations, being to the 12th inst.

We have for the past two or three years been so accustomed to see a very large increase in the traffic that we think it desirable to give some of the causes in operation tending to produce such apparently unfavorable results. In the first place, some of the Rail road Companies benefited greatly during the war by the amount paid by the Goirernment for transit of troops, and freight of stores and provisions for the different armies in the field. This source of income is of course at an end. It is also well known that farmers and shippers of all kinds of produce from the West to the East have in former years suffered so severely from the detention of their goods by the want of accommodation at the points of transhipments (frequently causing a delay of from two to four mouths), that many are holding back till the spring, when they can avail themselves of water carriage. Not withstanding all these drawbacks, however, it is satisfac tory to find that the returns for 1865 are, in most cases, in excess of those for 1863, an d very much so over the earn ings prior to the war, and it must also be borne in mind that the percentage of working expenses is much lower in consequence of labor and materials being now nearly thirty per cent. cheaper than last year. We have received the following communication, which we are satisfied will prove substantially correct ; and we give it, as it may be of interest to holders of Detroit and Milwaukee Bonds. The earnings of the road have been very large, and appear 'such as to render the payment of interest quite a certainty; under theze circumstances, we. should be dis posed to think that the Funded Coupon - Bondholders The Grand Trunk of Canada traffic is, for week ending ---Dec. 30, 1865, £22,162 sterling, on 1,377 miles, or £l6 ls. 1.1. per mile per week ; Dec. 31, 1864, £25,390 sterling, on 1.335 miles, or £l9 Os. 4d. per mile per week. • The Detroit and Milwaukee traffic is, for week ending —Jan. 4, 1866, £5,070 9s. 3d. sterling on 189 miles, or £26 16s. Gd. per mile per week; Jan. 5, 1865, £5,110 Bs. 11d. sterling on 189 miles, or £27 Os. 9d. per mile per week. Since our last the chief features in the London:market for American Securities have been some few large trans actions in United States 5.20 Bonds, and a demand for Erie Shares for shipment to New York ; the general public, however, appear to be doing little or no business in these securities. On the week 5.20's have advanced about a half per cent., closing GGI to 1, notwithstanding reported large shipments from New York to the Continent. Illinois Shares continue neglected, and close 75 to I. In Erica there have been considerable fluctuations, as they were at one time taken as, high as 59, but the lower quotation by the "City of London " seriously depressed the market, and they leave of nearly $2 lower than we last reported ; viz., 551 to 56i. There has been some demand for Virginia Sixes, resulting in an improvement of 81. Atlantic and Great Western seenritios remain steady. OFFICIAL TRANSACTIONS FOR THE WEER.—United States 5 per Cent.

RECENT WILLS AND BEQUESTS. -a (Front the Illustrated London News) The will of Charles Douglas Ilalford, Esq., of 29, Grosvenor-square, and West Lodge, East Bergholt, Suffolk, was proved in London, on the 28th ult., under £BO,OOO personalty, probate being granted to his son, Charles Augustus Drake Halford, Esq., the sole executor. The will bears date Nov. 27, 1860, and a codicil April 17, 1862. The testator died on Dec. 9 last, at West Lodge. He bequeaths to his second son his residencee,;Grosvenor-square and West Lodge, With the furniture, plate, books, pictures, carriages, &c., for his own use absolutely ; also a sum of £33,000 under marriage settlement, dated 1825 ; and appoints him residuary legatee. To his five daughters he leaves various sums. In trust to one £2,000 ; to the others, £5,000 ; and to each a legacy of £l,OOO for her own separate use. There are complimentary legacies to his son-in-law, free of legacy duties. The will of Joseph Cookson., Esq., of the Royal York Crescent, Clifton, Bristol, was proved in Lon don by the executors and trustees, John Cookson, Esq., the nephew, and George Baker Keeling, Esq., of Lidney, Gloucestershire. The personalty was sworn under £120,000. The will was executed at Ryde, Isle of Wight, on Aug. 27, 1860 ; and there are two codicils, dated respectively 1861 and Oct. 25, 1865, which were executed at Pau, Basses Py renees, in France, where he died, at the age of 82, on the same day he signei the last codicil. To his wife there is an immediate legacy of £5OO and a provision under settlement ; the reversionary inte rest will devolve to his great-nephew, Joseph Cookson, of Neachann, who is appointed residuary legatee of both real and personal estate. There arc numerous legacies to relatives and friends and to his executors, as well as to charitable institutions. His shares in various companies he has distributed principally among his nephews and nieces and their children. The following are the charitable bequests, which are mostly confined to Bristol : —To the Canynge Society, Bristol ; Clergy Society, Bristol Infirmary, Clifton Dispensary, Blind Asylum, School for Poor of St. Philip and St. Jacob, 100 guineas each ; the Humane Society, Bristol, £5O ; and £25 towards the hanging of bells in the belfry of Lidney parish church. All legacies to be free of duty. The will of the late John Vipond, of Carnavon, Llanover, Monmouthshire, was proved in London under £40,000. He has left £250 to each of the following institutions :—The British and Foreign Bible Society, the Wesleyan Missionary Society, the fund for the relief of worn-out preachers, and the circuit stewards of Pontypool. The wills of the following gentlemen were lately proved : William Stennett, Esq., of Reigate, Surrey, under 80,000 perso n alty ; Stephen Flockt en, of Ilampde,n House, Romford,Essssexo,oß; and Henryussiabroker, £60,000 ; John Fell, of Sout h w ark and of Ux bridge-common, r e moofn Bloomsbury - squa r e, ilot o and Ludgate hill, X bill,cut-gelauv.ss manufacturer, £3,ooo.—lllust ra t e d London j\r 0 The internal revenue collections in Pittsburg, r enns ylvania, last year amounted to $4,386,000—an in crease of $1,800,000 over 1864. General Gideon J. Pillow writes to Gen. Howard that ho is succeeding beyond all his expectations in procuring laborers foy his plantations in Arkansas and Tennessee, and has full confidence in his plans. He gives the negroes a part of the crop of cotton, and allows them land for the cultivation of vegetables and corn for their own use without charging them for it. He says he could have engaged a thousand laborers on these terms if ho had wanted them. He is working one plantation with white laborers engaged on the same terms. It will be interesting to compare the results of the two experiments.
