TELEATRE ROYAL, COVENT GARDEN Lessee for the Christmas Pantomime, Mr. J. IL ANDERSON. EXTENSION OF THE SEASON. Postponement of Mr. Anderson's Benefit. I mmense Success of Rob Roy. —Novelties in Preparation. 1 . 11 1 assuming the management at Christmas last of the mrgest theatre in Loudon, Professor Anderson pledged him -141!1,f to the public to produce the most gorgeous, and, if pos -I'4, the best pantomime of the season. Efficiently to carry mat that pledge he determined to spare no cost, nor fail to , 41111 himself of whatever t alen t lie could discover and cote am'i- His arrangements were made fora period of six weeks, ~, m t Which term he did not expect the pantomime to run. En 1711ntering many difficulties in producing a ptutomicao at a k lllee Where none had been for years—where noariy all the chiuery had to be constructed and every " property" to be 'made—The Bello Alliance, or The Field of the Cloth of Gold, W 8 placed on the stage at as cutlay of nearly 7,0 )01., and I , e e at once recognised by the press and by the public as i mg worthy of the house at which it was presented and the Ma • k imecedented expenditure incurred in its production. Its Plalarity has increased at every representation. At the pre -13/eMt moment, after a run of 40 nights, between 2,000 and ins Persons pay nightlyat the doors to witness its grotesque ,m.clents, its gorgeous appointments, and its magnificent —ett erY• The operatic drama of Rob Roy, and the ever tPular melodrama of Black-eyed Susan, produced, as they vo been, a t a c ost as la v i s h as that bestowed on the panto ,is:,lM' eh have achieved an equal amount of success. Within the ls of Covent-garden larger audiences are assembled every tem ing than in any other theatre of Europe ; while the fa shionabl e character of the attendance, and the applause be ,,j'ed on the performances, ratify the fulfilment of the pro "es made by the lessee at the commencement of the season, and warrant his indulging in self-congratulation at havineac to I,.lmPlished a triumph in the way of ferecessful management. L'oder these cireurnstanceslie has had 'no hesitation in ar 44ring with the directors of the theatre for its occupancy OW it is re q ui r ed for the purpose of the Royal Italian Sera, at the commencement of the next London season.

The pantomime, on account of its great success, *ill be repeated nightly ; Rob Roy and Black-eyed Susan :RI, I be performed on alternate nights until further notice ; ''me same attention which has been paid to their production • regards scenery, costumes, and other accessories to effect, / till be paid to everything eise produced under the present ! M anagement. The unqualified approbation of the auditors, cumulative success of each new production, the thronged Rate of the house at every representation, and the satisfac- I'mrf result of the last six weeks, induce Professor An '!erson to persevere in a path which has led him to a Position whence he can regard the past with plea 144'e, the future with 'confidence, and the pre withl,/t,t proud, unmingled, unalloyed gratification. T ▪ eat .the sequel to his Christmas season will be characterised :9 the same amount of good fortune which has hitherto at ‘ended his career at Covent-garden he is perfectly assured, the /414 0 causes which have already elicited success will, without 3( 1 114, continue to produce it, amplifying at the same time e amount and its certitude. The public are respectfully ap prised, that however popular any piece produced under the present management may be, the number of its representations till be limited ; thus, for instance, Rob Roy and Black-eyed has will bo played on alternate nights during the present Week but na promise can be made of their repetition beyond v that term, unless it be found to comport with other arrange. gents now in progress. Hence it is expedient that seats thould b e b oo k e d ear ly by th ose w h o are d es i rous o f see i ng 4 , 11 e grandest Scottish spectacle ever placed on the stage, or t ea revival of Douglas Jerrold's celebrated melodrama with kora attention to the mice eu scene than has been bestowed neon it at any time or in soy theatre.

GREAT WESTERN: The half-yearly general meeting of thi4 tompany was held yesterday afternoon, at the station, Paddington, which w3:4 very numerously attende.d. Shortly after one o'clnek the chair was taken by S. H. 'Walpole, Esq 1\1.P., chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr. SAUNDERS (the secretary) baying read the adver tisement convening the meeting, and the report being taken as read, The CHAIRMAN addressed the meeting:—Gentlemen— Your directors have laid before you so full, so (-Sears's° elaborate a report of the affairs, the position, and the prospects of this company, that I feel any lengthened statement emanating from myself would be a tedious and superfluous task. There are some circumstances, however, to which I think I ought to call your at tention, especially after the meeting we had in August last—a meeting somewhat of gloom, it not on the. part of several proprietors —a meeting, to a certain extent, of despondency -4n order that I may Point , out to you that the view which your directors took of your affairs, was not over sanguine, but prudently cau tions, has, I think, in every particular been veil fled. Oa the occasion of that meeting we found our selves with a dividend which had fallen from four per cent, to two per cent. in a year and a half. There Seise then great pressure commencing in the money markets of this c suntry ; that pressure was likely to operate dis advantageously to yourselves with reference to the re newal of debentures, and I have no hesitation In saying,' that the last autumn was an autumn of immense anxiety to your directors ; but I hope the result of this r e p or t will show you, . that by forethought, by prudence, by careful management, your affairf 3ite they were when VAtieni: addressed y 9 O: , (Oreette) 0 ,0 „ that occasion I iiiiderieOUreel -to point- out •Ltiri-les'aur,se; clearly as I could, the cause.of the diminution of our dividend, and the consequent depreciation of your" property. Setting aside • the stagnation of trade, which, to a certain extent, was consequent on the war, the high prices of most materials used in tl e con struction of railways —setting aside the necessity of continuing unfinished works, which necessarily Operate generally to your disadvantage, but which could not be avoided—setting aside, I say, all these matters, I traced, or endeavoured to trace, the causes of -the diminution to those circunis'ances, which, I believe, oc casioned that diminution. You have only to look at your report, and you will see how amply justified your direc tors were iu pointing out those circumstances as the causes of that depression. You will there find that the charge on the Great Western property, for the Shrews. bury lines, was 34,0001. during the half-year ending the 30th of June, 18;.'5. Yon wilt find that the expenditure for the lines north of Birmingham was little less, during the same half-year, if at all less, than 40,0001.: you wilt End the charge for new works, dering the same half year, abvt 12,000/., thus making a total of 86,000/. Now, a diminution in your dividend of 2 per cent. is repro - sented by a diminution in the available receipts of your company to the extent of about 83,000/. for the half-year ; consequently you will see that the causes of the din:tines tine of your dividend to the extent of 2 per cent. might fairly and probably be traceable to the three causes to which I have adverted. Now, I F Weed my opinion to be, that the depression of your shares was a temporary, not a permanent, de pression. Look at the results—your average re ceipts during the half-year ending Dec. 31, 1355, as compared with the average receipts during the half-year ending Dec. 31, 1854, show an increase in your great Western lines of 86,000/. ; and en your Shrewsbury lines Of 23,0001. more. (Hear, hear.) The balances of the revenue accounts carried to credit, when contr.setod with the same period, show for the Groat Western lines in 1354, a result of 383,227/. ; and for 1855, a receipt of 433,3271., giving an increase of net earnings of 54,4001. The Shrewsbury lines show for 18,54, a sum of 32,6391. as against 47,799/. for 1855, or net increase of earnings of 15,1601., making on the whole of your pro perly, a total inorease of net earnings of 69,560/. (Cheers.) Now, observe the increase is not a partial one, it is uniform throughout your lines ; observe also, that this increase is not an increase made by fits and starts, but by steady progression ; observe, iii the tkird place, that this increase is still continuing, and the receipts during the first six weeks of the present half year, will, I think, justify me in saying the company is gradually righting it.self, and that if you pursue a prudent, cautious management of your affairs, you will find it will right itself still more. I find that the rsoeipts for the first week of 1856 of the Great Western line, were 19,8741.—whi1e for the wet:, that is six days, for the corresponding week of this year, the re ceipts were 17,4171., giving an apparent decrease of 2,456/., but you will see that there was not any decrease when I add, as I shall, the earnings of the acidities' al, day. Li the second week of 1855 the receipts were 21,020/., and for 1856 they were 21,884/.; being an crease of 860/. ; for the third week of 1.355 the receipts were 20,529/., and for 1856 they wore 23,2431., being an increase of 2,716/. ; for the fourth week of 1855 the receipts were 19,0201., and for 1856, 23,1541., giving an increase of 4,130/. ; for the fifth week of 1855 the re ceipts were 21,1571., and for 1856 they were 24,342/., giving an increase of 3,192/. ; the sixth week's receipts in 1855 were 20,150/., and for 1356 they were 15,385/., an increase of 3,735/. I will add the seventh day to make the period of six weeks in 1856 correspond with that of lt'ss. For that day I set down 2,013/. for passengers only, showing a total increase of 14,6371., or an average of about 2,366/. per week in favour of the present year. (Cheers.) I will give the result of the receipts of the Shrewsbury lines during the same period. The increase during the six weeks on the Shrewsbury and Birmingham line was 855/. 12s. 2d., and on the Shrewsbury and Chester line 2,7291. 12s. 7d., making a total of 3,583/. 4e. 9d.; or an average of 597/. per week. I mention these facts to show you that I think I was right in stating that the depreciation of your property was not likely to be a per manent depreciation, if you found by subsequent expe rience (as you do now find by subsequent experience) that there was an improvement going r. n over every Fart of your line, and that this improvement was consistent and also progressive. The second point which I men tioned was, that you had seen the worst of your Shrews bury lines. In that respect I think my statement has been fully verified. You will observe that your dividend has this half-year been increased to 21 per cent. from 2 per cent. (Hear.) This alone will, I hope, to some ex tent, be satisfactory to you. You will also observe that the balance on therevenueaccount is much larger than it wai the last half-year, and that your directors have kept in hand about 16,000/. in respeci of that balance. The report states that there was an arbitration, by which a further sum is expected from the South Wales Company for the agreed use of the Gloucester station and esta blishment ever since they have opened their line ; that that arbitration is nearly brought to a close, and that the amount will appear to credit in the next account. A small sum only was taken under that head to credit, but I have the satisfaction to state to you that the arbi tration on this point was closed yesterday, and that you may aid under that head to the credit of your account a sum of 5,1001. (Cheers.) The result, then, is that your available balance for dividend among the proprietors for the last half year, instead of being what it is represented to be in the accounts, is 5,000/. more, which added to the balance that we have held in reserve—of 16,000/., would, in point of fact, just enable you to pay at this momeet a 3 per cent. dividend. Now, Ido not recommend you to ask for a 3 per cent. dividend, and I will tell you why. I think one of the greatest points you 'nave to bear in mind is, that you will be prudent and cautious before the vessel has properly righted itself ; and I think that till your works are completed, which they soon will be, that till your liabilities are thereby perfectly ascer tained. it is safer for you to keep that balance in hand to meet contingencies, and which will be a balance available for you at a future period, though, as I have said, I recommend you not to make it available for an increase of dividend now. He then alluded to the dif ferences that existed at the board and concluded by say ing—lf you (the shareholders) will adhere to the wise maxims you have laid down for yourselves, of not eii terin into new speculations—(cheers)—if you will strive to keep in harmony with other companies, which must be for the mutual benefit of both—if you will steadily watch the rise of your shares, and the fall in the value of money in the market, until you can convert your debt into stock and reduce its interest—if you will finish, as your directors have shown you you are about to finish , all your great works, without incurring new liabilities —again, I say, my honest, conscientious is, that you have a property which, by provident,bevabe valuable l careful, by sedulous good managemert, will to yourselves as an investment and as an income, and will be restored, I hope, at no distant day, to tha . t, high_ position in which it formerly stood. (reoud cheers. / He then moved the adoption of the report. The question of the report being adopted was then put, when Mr. EDMONDS moved au amendment—" That so much of the report as recommended a dividend of 2z per cent. be adopted, and that the remainder be referred to a corn mittee, to be appointed when the list of shareholders was published. Major COURT seconded the motion, A long discussion here ensued, during which Mr. Edmonds was called upon to withdraw his amendment„ which he refused to do. Eventually the amendment wa y put, and lost by a large majority. On the question that the report be adopted, Mr. MILES, M.P., moved the omission of those pas- sages in it which permitted officials of the company to become shareholders in the coal company specified therein, and the insertion of words that no person cons netted with the company, directly or indirectly, should be permitted to have anything to do with the proposed new Joint Stock Company about to be formed. Mr. VOUSELY characterised the resolution as most de spotic, for surely they would not interfere with any en terprise in which their servants might wish to engage. They ought to be permitted to have an opportunity of employing their little capital as they might think proper. Lord BARRINGTON hoped the meeting would not pass a resolution which they,had not fully considered. They might remember that the Limited Liability Act was passed last session of Parliament to enable persons with small capital to invest it, and yet that company was prohibiting the salutary influence of that excellent law. (Cries of " Hear, hear.") Mr. CHARLES RUSSELL begged - of them earnestly to SEBASTOPOL. (Prone the Gazette of last Evening.) WAR DEPARTMENT, FEB. 15. Lord Panmure has this day received a despatch and its enclosure, of which the following are copies, addressed to his lordship by General `air Wm. Codriugton, K.C.B.:— , " HEAD-QUARTERS, SEBASTOPOL. " My Lord,--The destruction of the docks of Sebastopol is now completed ; the sides of the last dock wore blown in yesterday morning, small parts of the wall here and there only remaining. Thus the whole of the canal of en trance and north docks in charge of the French, the basin in our mutual charge, and the south docks in English charge are separate but shapeless masses of dirt ; heavy broken atones, split beams of timber, and shattered gates protruding from the heap of confusion. " The labour of destruction has been difficult ; those fine works were formed in the middle ravine at its outlet in an inner and sheltered part of the harbour, one of the nature' watercourses from the plateau on which we are en camped. This end of the ravine, about 700 yards from its mouth, seems to have been filled in so as to create a great artificial dam of earth, which, with the steep banks on each side, form three sides of a raised enclosure looking down upon the docks. A solid stone wall, much struck by shot, crowns thi.s sort of natural square ; the fine but shattered barracks standing still higher on the left, with the shads and dockyard buildings, the wasting Efeeers, and a long quay to Fort Paul in front jutting interthe harbour, show how well adapted all was for its purpose. It is now a picture of destruction, desolation, and silence; there against the quay the half sunken hull of a vessel, and in the harbour beyond the only things breaking the su face , of the water are the lower masts of sunken ships of war. " The dreinage of the water of the middle ravine must, however, pass through to the harbour somewhere, and it was this that so neuee impeded the shafts : for the water from rains often stood two feet high over the if ior of the docks, and thus of course fillet the shafts themselves. Some details of the execution of these are given in the en closed summary from Colonel Lloyd, Cefamanding the Royal Engineers, the immediate executive officers being Colonel Gordon and Major Nicholson. " Amid great difficulties of cold and wet, very severe frost at one time, and perpetually recurring pressure at another, the work went steadily on ; and great raise is due to all those concerned—the Engineers and sappers, parties of the Royal Artillery, the 18th Regiment, and latterly of the 4Sth Regiment. These parties return to their duty to-morrow after constant and laborious work. " Thu casualties have been but six, of which two only have been fatal, and one man of the 4Sth Regiment was lost by foul air in a shaft ; after several vain attempts by Major Nicholson, other officers, and num—themselves de scending at grout risk—the poor fellow's body was brought up, but life was gone. " Your Lordship will see that Colonel Lloyd expresses his obligation to Mr. Deane and the chief engineer of her Majesty's ship Royal Albert for their assistance. " The voltaic bettery, we must confess, did not always succeed ; it seems to require great nicety in preparation ; but in those cases in which I saw it succeed the effect was perfect—ignition and its result, the shake of the ground, the heaving np of the mass seemed to lie instantaneous. " The destruction of other things will continue. " I have, &c., " W. J. CODRINGTON, General Commanding: " The Lord Panmure, Sze." Head-Quarters Camp, Sebastopol, Feb. 1, 1856. Sir,--After a period of three months' unceasing labour in the dockyard, for the destruction of the docks, in com pliance with Lord Panmure's orders, it affords me very great satisfaction to ref ort, for your Excellency's infor mation, the termination of our exertions in the demolition of that portion allotted to the English, which consisted of the three docks on thw south side, and one-half of the east and west sides of the basin. The result of our operations has been the perfect destruc tion of the whole, the foundations being oompletoly torn up. The length of time occupied in effecting the above object has, I regret, far exceeded what had been antici pated, owing to many circumstances over which no human being could have any control. Your Excellency, I be lieve, is aware that on the morning . of the 16th December, 185, after a very heavy and continuous fall of rain, all the shafts which had been sunk behind the revetment walls of tie docks were found to have twenty feet of water in them, the shafts being thirty feet deep ; and the shafts along the bottoms of the docks, which had been sunk to a depth of 12 feet, were not only quite full of water, but had 2 feet 6 inches of water above the floors of the docks themselvea. A very large party was employed day and night endea vouring to reduce the water, and effected this object but slowly, as the water continued to find its way in by percolation. At this stage of the work, the wet weather was suddenly succeeded by intense frost, which for some days rendered our pumps useless, thus causing a further delay, and obliged us to bale the water out of the shafts, resuming the pumping as soon as the pumps would work again, which has been continued to the very last. It was the intention to have destroyed one entire dock at a time, but owing to the influx of water such an ar rangement was obliged to be abandoned, and such charges only as could from time to time be prepared were fired, the pumping in very many cases being kept up day and night until the last moment. The bottoms and sites were blown up before the sides wore destroyed, which enabled us to be satisfied that the former were thoroughly demolished. I must observe that, as the demolition of the northern portion was carried out by the French, it is incumbent on me to explain why their operations were not subjected to as many difficulties as fell to our lot. Their docks were four feet higher in level than ours, and in no instance had they, I understand, any water to contend against, or at least so small a quantity as to be scarcely ap preciable. Their charges in the bottoms were not more than 6ft. deep, whereas ours averaged 10 ft. 6 in depth. Though the external effect of some of our explosions may not appear great, I am happy to say that every portion of the masonry is either absolutely torn down or left in so dangerous a condition that it will add very much to the difficulties of rebuilding. _ I was extremely anxious that the facilities afforded by her Majesty's Goverment for the employment of voltaic batteries on a large scale, as sent out by the Admiralty under Mr. Doaue, should be fairly tested under the most favourable circumstances. I applied to Vice-Admiral Sir E. Lyons, who kindly offered the eervicss of Mr. Deane, Submarine Engineer, to carry out the voltaic operatio ns, and this gentleman had every assistance in skilled labour afforded him from the Royal Sappers and Miners. Many failures having taken place is firing the charges by electricity, owing to different curses, I am inclined to licable generally to military were removed with considerable difficulty, exertionsrusty. both doubt its advantages as spy purposes.

Cumberland, Graham, and C. Gordon, Royal Enineers ; their unremitting zeal, attention, and devo tion to the work, in accomplishing this troublesome task, under difficulties of no ordinary nature, claim my warmest thanks. lam also much indebted to Mr. Deane, Subma rine Engineer, whose valuable services in preparing a firing most of the mines by voltaic action, were kindly eila"" nd, at my disposal by his Excellency Vice-Admiral Sir E. Lyons. I must not omit to acknowledge the professional aid re ceived from the Chief and Assistant Engineer of her Ma jesty's ship Royal Albert (until that ship sailed for Malta), in the taking to pieces of the dock gate.i. In connection dis b Lieu. with this service, the assistance afforded by osal a large patt t y of the Royal Artillery, placed at my p y General Sir Richard Dacres, and under the superintent deuce and. direction of Lientenant-Colonel Bent, R oya l Engineers, I cannot but greatly appreciate.—l have, & c ., EDWD.
