Mr. T. LUCAS observed, that if he was not • sincerely in. terested in the prosperi t y of Lowestoft, it would be very ungrateful, after the kin dness he had received on everyv side. He has endeavoured to do that which he believe d would conduce to its prosperity. When the railway was recently projected, he had, with Mr. James Pato, an op. Portunity of eliciting the or anion of the inhabitants, and The report of the directors of this company states that the net amount at the disposal of the shareholders for the half-year ending the 31st of July last, after deduct ing interest on loaee, is 431,392/. currency, being equal to a dividend of 91 per cent, per annum on the share capital ; but from that sum must be deducted 14,052/, to provide for the repayment of the Government advance, leaving the available balance 117,340/. Out of this sum the directors recommend the payment of a dividend at the rate of 3 per cent, per annum, which will absorb 109,2841., and leave 8,055/. for the next half-year. The severity of the winter had the effect of limiting the traffic in the early part of the year, and of seriously increasing the working expenses, especially in the item of mainten ance of way. The extreme degree of frost, and very heavy falls of snow caused great displacement in the spring of the year, on the breaking up of the frost. both in the ballasting and rails, and to this cause is mainly attributed the excess in the charges for mainten ance of way during the half-year. The closi ng o f th e Detroit river by ice for 62 days involved a large and un usual outlay for porterage and other expenses at Wind sor. The additional capital during the haltyear amounted to 700,000/. currency, but the actual addi tional capital now entitled to interest or dividend amounts to nearly 850,000/. more than for the preceding half-year. Of that sum about 500,000/. (including rol ling stock) is on account of the Hamilton and Toronto line, which during the past half-year forms a charge upon the general revenue of the company. The Hamil ton and Toronto line has not earned at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum for the half-year, its traffic having been at the rate of 23/. 12s. currency per mile per week, as against 54/. 13s. per mile per week on the main line. The Galt branch earnings were at the rate of 13/. ss. currency per mile per week. Bonds bearing in terest at the rate of 6 per cent. have bsen converted into shares during the half year to the amount of 1 70,875/, currency. The amount put to the credit of the Government sinking fund exceeds by 1,277/. cur rency the amount set aside during the preceding half year, and the loss upon the working of the steamers has amounted to 6,5041. currency. These several circum stances have together resulted in reducing the net reve nue of the line below the amount required for the usual l ate of dividend. The directors have come to the de ermination of recommending the proprietors to place to the credit o f revenue account the amount realised during the last two half-years for premiums on the shares and bonds sold by the company, the whole of the shares coursebei being then ldisposedinehas actually a I yearned They ea state e d 5 that 2ea7 in o,Lbeyond adopting this dividends paid np to the present time.

The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, briefly recounted the circumstances that bad led to the erection of the building, which it was intended to render available for the purposes of public meetings, of concerts, and of other entertainments to persons of all sects and parties. Mr. M. GIBSON, in moving a vote of thanks to the proprietors (part of the guests), expressed his regret at the unavoidable absence of some of the most distin guished champions of free trade, and his hope that the Free-trade Hall, to the erection of which shareholders of various political opinions had contributed, would be ap. plied to purposes tending to remove party and sectarian prejudices, and which might promote what the Bishop of Manchester had termed adult education. The leaders of political parties had recently shown a disposition, to use a theatrical term, to "star it " in the provinces during the recess, as they had of late exhibited great reserve in expressing their views upon political questions, and he hoped that at no distant period they might h ave in that hall from the leaders of all political parti es an exposition of their opinions. The right hon. gentleman expressed his hope that, now that the war was over, and they had entered upon what he hoped would he an enduring peace, large reductions would be e ff ec t ed in the national expenditure. It would be impossibletoearry out that conferred free trade policy which had already so much benefit upon the community unless by a reduction of the national expenditure they w ere enabled to dispense with some of the taxes that now presse , l upon the springs of industry. The Chancellor o f the Exchequer field before him, and great had a wid e things would be expected : from him. After expressing b'sintention to r enew hi s demand for a repeal o f t h e duty on English paper, and deprecating unnecessary intervention in forei.-Ir affairs, w t ab ich m ig ht afford a pl ea for keeping up the military eslishts, Mr. Gibson concluded by as sur i ng his constituents that his opinions with reference t o P ar li a• mentary reform, vote by ballot, and othe r p o li t i ca l ques tions, were un c h anged The resolution was acgr:ed to, . rind other re so l u ti ons complimentary entirely of a eatery nature were subsequently proposed and adopted.

Od. THE BISHOP OF LONDON ELECT. —Dr. Tait, Dean of Carlisle, recently appointed to the bishopric of London, took his farewell of the people of Carlisle on Sunday afternoon last, when he preached in the cathedral. Al though the weather was unfavourable, the spacious edi fice was crowded, several hundred persons, who were unable to obtAin seats, being obliged to stand in the choir and side aisles. THE ORIGIN OF THE WORD "CANARD."—The origin of the word canard , when employed to signify some un founded s t ory, is not P generally known. The following are the terms in which M. Quetelet relates, in the "An nuaire de l'Academie" (article on Norbert Cornelissen), the manner in which the word became used in its new sense :—"To give a sly hit at the ridiculous pieces of intelligence which the journals were in the habit of prnb lishing every morning, Cornelissen stated that an inte resting exp er i men t had just been made, calculated to prove the extraordinary voracity of ducks. Twenty these animals had been placed together, an d one of them m having been killed and cut up into the smallest P pieces, feathers and all, and thrown t o the othe°rnsiibnlee teen, was roost gluttonously gobbled up in an brief space of time.

THE CASCADE AT LONGCHAMP.—The works for the cascade of Longchamp, opened on Sunday, were com menced on 15th April, and have been completed in five months. The construction of the rock work and basins have taken 2,000 cubic metres of stone from the forest of Fontainebleau, and 4,000 cubic metres of concrete. The principal masses, after having been taken from the forest, have been carefully replaced in their original positions. The upper basin, which serves as a reservoir to the cas cade, has a superfleies of 7,000 square metres, and can hold about 10,000 cubic metres of water. It is supplied from the surplus water from the large lake by mean j of a small channel which crosses the blare-aux-Biches, and forms a very pretty waterfall. The cascade, when at full play, throws 1,200 cubic metres of water an hour. It is composed of a principal fail nine metres high, and break ing on rocks in a most picturesque manner, and of seve ral minor ones which escape from the rocks placed on either side. The waters, when received into the lower basin, are conveyed by a serpentine rivulet across the plain of Longchamp into three ponds formed below the new Hippodrome. In order to completely terminate the works, all that remains to be done are the plantationa on whencethe cascade. Untilreissues,a then dso e m ow e p i i n e: t tte i h o re n ionir of oruo th enk e d a wfr r oo te rm sn belowkia th well at Pussy, an d t h e other hydrau lic works by which the Bois de Boulogne is to be sup plied with water, the necessary quantity will be furnishi,sd by the engines at Chaillot. _DIRTu s4 OP A SON., IR 1 9 On the oth inst., at St. John's Lodge, Batteisea-iis the wife of the Rev.
