At the Annual Meeting, on:the sth inst., the following were some of the leading results disclosed in the Report to the shareholders. FIRE BRACH. The Premiums of the year 1863 reached the sum of Being an advanc e o f £341,668 40,977 over 1862; an am ount of increase exceeding that o f any pre vious year. The Revenue from Fire Premiums has been en hanced in four years by the large sum of £113,353 The Duty paid to Government in 1862 was £75,993 Ditto ditto, 1863 88,966 Showing an Increase in one year of ...... £12,973 Among the incidents which have tended to the advance ment of the Royal within the last few months may be reckoned its a'tion with respect to the losses sustained by the explo sion of the Lotty Sleigh, which although only oon , istent with the general trior of the conduct of the Company, and ulti mately proved to be no more than what had been done in hor nier times by the oldest and most proverbially honourable among its contemporaries, yet attracted attention and public favour by its unhesitating promptness. As the largest total of Revenue and the largest ratio of progression have been attai ne d i n the present year, so it happens that the largest Profit which it has ever fallen to the Directors to record has likewise on this occasion to be an nounced. The balance of net profit on the year has amounted to .f. 83,515 ; of which sum .£34,100 only has been appropriated to Dividend and Bonus, and the large balance of £49,444 been carried to Reserve. LIFE BRANCH. The progress of the Life Branch, as shown by the New Business transacted in the last year, is most promising, and the advances made, year by year, in the amount of New In surances effected, show clearly the estimation in which the Company is held. The following is a statement for the last live years : Net Sum Assured on New Policies after deducting Guarantees. Net Premiums. 1859 1860 ....... 449,241 16 2 18 61 ......... •••-••••521,101 17 0 1862 1863 ........ 701,4 '7 15 3 ..... 752,546 18 10 This rapid growth, amounting to 73 per cent. on the Sum Assured, and upwards of 80 per cent. on the Premium re ceived in the course of five years, may justly be considered as larger than any which could have been reasonably expected. The first half of the current year 1864, however, far outstrips the ratio of increase indicated by the figures just quoted, as the sum assured for that period of six months only actually exceeds Half-a-Mil ion sterling. The rate of Mortality, likewise, still presents highly favour able features, and augurs well for the result to be shown by favour tae quinquennial investigation, which is to take place when the present year is concluded.

This Company is an extension of the Credit Fonder (Limited) and of the Credit Mobilier (Limited) which were established, the former for financial business in connection with land, the latter for general financial operations. The unexampled success achieved by those companies, whose reports, just published, show the amount of net profits,upon a paid-up capital amounting jointly to £lOO,OOO, to be at the rate of upwards of 190 per cent. per annum, and who have ea c h d ec l are d a di v id en d an d b onus o f £2 per share on £5 paid for less than six months' working, besides carrying £40,000 to the reserve fund, and the enormous ac cession of business of both companies render it absolutely essential to increase the capital, and thus enlarge the basis of their operations. With this view it has been determined to found the pre sent powerful ineitution, which will absorb the two com panies, and will take over the whole of their assets, includ ing their united reserve fund, amounting to £40,000. and will also of course assume their engagements, and the Directors believe that the increased means the issue of new capital will place in their hands will enable them to effect even greater results than have been already achieved. The distribution of the shares will be made in the follow • ing manner, by which it will be seen that a liberal propor tion has been appropriated for allotment amongst the gene ral public. 10,000 Shares will be issued to the shareholders of the Credit Fonder (Limited) at par. in exchange for the like number of shares now held by them. 30,000 Shares will (at their option) be allotted to the share holders of the Credit Foncier (Limited) (being at at the rate of three new shares for each Aare held in that Company), which will be issued as follows, viz.: —Two of such shares at a premium of £2 13s 4d per share, and for every two shares so taken one additional share at par. 10,000 Shares will be issued to the shareholders of the Credit Mobilier (Limited) at par, in exchange for the like number of shares in that Company now held by them. 30,000 Shares will be allotted (at their option) to the share holders of the Credit Mobilier (Limited) (being at the rate of three new shares for each share held in that Company), which will be issued as fol lows, viz.:—Two of such shares at a premium of £2 13s 4d per share, and for every two shares so taken one additional share at par. 20,000 Shares will be issued to the public at a premium of £2 13s 4d per share. 100,000 The total premium on the above mentioned shares will amount to £160,000, which, with the sum of £40,000, the amount of the reserve funds of the Credit Fonder (Limited), and of the Credit Mobilier (Limited), will be carried to the reserve fund of the amalgamated Company, which will then amount to £200,000. The amount to be called up, viz., £5 per share on the shares issued at a premium, together with the £2 13s 4d per share premium thereon, to be paid by the following instal ments:— On application £1 per share, to be carried to capital account. On allotment, £2 per share, of which £1 to be carried to capital account and £1 to be carried to premium account. 10th December, £1 13s 4d per share to be carried to pre mium account, 10th February, 1865, £1 130 per share to be carried to capital account. 10th April, 1865, £1 10s. per share to be carried to capi- Al account. The amount to be called up, viz., £5 per share on the shares issued at par, to be paid as follows, viz.:— On application, £1 per share; on allotment, £1 per share; 10th February, 1865, £1 10s. per share; 10th April, 1865. £1 10s. per share—which will be carried to capital account. But as all the shares will participate in the next divi dend declared, pro rata, according to the amount paid up, the valuable option has been reserved, enabling all allot tees to pay up the instalments immediately on allotment, or at any time in advance of their being due, up to £5 per share. The total amount of paid-up capital will be £500,000, and the reserve fund will amount to £200,000, The following is a comparative statement of the estimated value of the undermentioned shares as represented by the current prices on the Stock Exchange, viz : 73 5 ) 15 ,; E- , 1,.. ti .0 F co.? 0 p.g z "cs §tvg c.) ft 6 VE I2 A 4 44 r, O . %g 54;‘4 c4sl. . _es. 0,44 i — 22.) 3 EA: cr =u2c 4 '4Z ion -, C:D I . •-• c+t cl cl I o 0* , 4 to o ae 1)- o o to 0 0 06 0 .

E --- It will thus be seen that the average value (as represented by the price of the shares) of the abovementioned four com panies is £3 4s. premium per share, after deducting (if any) the reserve fund ; the price of issue of this Company's now shares to the public is £2 13s. 4cl. premium, from which, after deducting the amount of this Company's reserve fund, equal to £2 per share, leaves the share costing only 13s. 4d premium, against £3 4s. premium, the average price of the four companies before referred to, leaving. a bonus to the public of £2 10s. Bd. per share; but, taking the premium of the last-mentioned company as the most analogous to this Company, it having been amalgamated only two months, it will be seen that their price of £3 10s, per share (which is far below their intrinsic worth), added to the £2 premium in this Company's reserve fund, gives £5 10s, per share, or £2 16s, 3d. bonfts on the price of issue. The above prices are quoted as they are given in the Stock Exchange List, but it is generally admitted that they by no means represent the full value of the different shares quoted, the prices of which ought to, and will doubtless be, touch higher. Applications for shares may be made in the form annexed, and must be aocompanied by the payment of £1 per share.

To the SHAREHOLDERS of the CRE UIT MOBILI ER (Limited). Gentlemen,—ln presenting the accompanying balance sheet, it is a source of great satisfacticn to your Directors to be able to draw your attention to the figures therein stated, by which you will see that the total net profits from the 29th March last (the date the Company was established) to this date, a period of five months, after paying cff the whole of the preliminary expenses, amounting to £lO,OOO, as also all expenses of management, salaries, stationary, advertis ing, &e., amount to the sum of £42,614 lOs 2d, equal to 206 per cent per annum on the amount of capital called up. The Directors propose this amount to be dealt wish as follows To forming a reserve fund To paying a dividend and bonus of £2 per share, free of income tax (equal together to 96 per cent per annum), which will absorb 20,000 0 0 To paying income tax on dividend 5OO 0 0 The balance, amounting to ..... 2,114 10 2 to be carried forward. £42,614 10 2 ample guarantees given to the bondholders of this loan, The ' Credit Foncier, in conjunction with the Credit Mobilier, had no hesitation in complying with the request of The City Offices Company, to guarantee to the subscribers the due observance of its engagements in respect of those bonds ; the success of placing the whole of this loan at 5 per cent, interest, when its novelty is considered, and the fact that the Bank rato has been 6 to 8 per cent. during the whole time of offering the loan, speaks favourably for the organisation and influence your Companies have obtained. The Directors, thus far, have spoken of the past ; they are happy in bein g a bl e also to allude to the future in terms of great confid ence . h av i ng severa l very important negotia tions and transactions in progress which they have reason to believe will produce highly profitable results. s Your Directors are g l a d to b e a bl e t o a nnounce having suitable offices fo r th e C om p an y, at 17 and 18, Cornhill, on the ground, lower, and upper floors, the alterations and improvements in which are now being made, and will be completed by Michaelmas next, where our business may be transacted with the convenience and regularity absolutely indispensable. The Directors new wish to bring formally before the Shareholders that which doubtless they have heard alluded to for some time past, for the Directors, acting under the evident wish of the Shareholders, have made no secret of their own desire to amalgamate The Credit Fonder and The Credit Mobilier into one powerful company • which, besides removing the ano ma ly o f t wo distinct bodies of shareholders being represented by the same directors and manager, will enable the organisation of the whole to be more economical ; the Fowler Branch for financial operations in connection with land, and the Mobilier Branch f or genera l financial busi ness, will, as department s , h oweve r, be still dis tinct : and the Directors in anticipation of this fusion, have undertaken all operations as near as possible jointly, so as to leave the profits and liabilities as equal as possible. Re solutions to carry this amalgamation into effect will be submitted to you immediately after the ordinary meeting. Your Directors further, on the supposition that the share holders join with them in the desire to make the new amal gamated company second to none of the financial companies now in existence, and with a wish to make it worthy of the title it is proposed it should have, viz.—THE CREDIT FONCIER and MOBILIER of ENGLAND' (Limited), have fixed the capital at £2,000,000 in 100,000 shares of £2O each, which the Directors propose issuing as follows, viz. -20,000 shares will be issued at par to the holders of and in exchange for the existing 10,000 Credit Foncier and 10,000 Credit Mobilier shares-30,000 shares to be issued to the holders of the 10,000 Credit Foncier shares, being three new shares for one share now held in that Company —which will be issued as follows, viz.—two of such shares at £2 13s. 4d. per share premium, and for every two shares so taken one additional share at par-30,000 shares to be issued to the holders of the 10,000 Credit Mobilier shares, being three new shares for one share now held in that Company, which will be issued upon the same terms as to the holders of the 10,000 Credit Fonder shares viz.—two shares will be issued at £2 13s. 4d. per share premium, and for every two shares so taken one ad ditional hare at par—and the remaining 20,000 shares to be issued to the general public at £2 13s. 41. per share pre mium. This issue will yield in premiums the sum of £160,000, which, with the £40,0 0 0 already put to the re serve fund from this half-year's profits, will make that fund amount to £2,0,000, or £2 per share on the whole 100,000 shares which will then have been issued. The instalments for paying up the new shares are arranged to extend over a period of seven months so as to make th e p a y men t s as little burdensome as possible ; but as all the 100,000 shares will participate in the next dividend pro rata, according to the amount paid up, the option has been reserved to the shareholders to pay up the instalments at any time, or at once up to the £5 per share. The paid-up capital will then amount to £500,000, and the reserve fund to £200,000; and with this result the Directors believe they a:e justified in anticipating that the influence of the new Company will be materially augmented. The leading features during the past half-year have been the high value of money, and the number of joint-stock companies that have been introduced to the public. Various causes have contributed to the former, nor are any signs to be observed of a probable return to much lower rates ; with respect to the companies introduced, though undoubtedly they have been very numerous, it is hoped that the majo rity of them are prospering ; and with respect to the capital absorbed by them, it is believed that it has Seen subscribed by that increasing class of investors who wish to participate in the higher rate of dividend trading companies with limited liability yield, as compared with the old forms of investments, much the same, as no doubt will be found to be the case if the limited Private Partnership Bill, intro duced in Parliament last session, should become law next year. Nor is it our opinion that the desire to share in the capital of new companies is spasmodical or speculative; it seems rather to give signs of being a permanent change tak ing place in their views of investments by the middle class of capitalists. Your Directors, while on the subject of the future, can not allow this opportunity to pass without reference to the prospects before us in a monetary view, and whilst sharing the opinions of those writers who look for an active demand for money during the coming winter, they are satisfied that the worst times for monetary institutions like ours are not those when periods of tightness, distrust, and high rates for money are prevalent, if they have their funds well in hand, as on referring to the balance-sheet you will find ours to be ; the Directors being of opinion that if the capital in the hands of a finance company be sufficiently large for its undertak ing a full return for capital may then fairly be looked for, and the power of the capitalist (which a well managed com pany should ever represent) will be then appreciated alike to the convenience of those seeking as to the profit of those lending capital; and though for the moment financial com panies may be called new institutions, the day is assuredly drawing nigh when their vocation and position will be as clearly defined and recognised as some time after their es• tablishment were joint-stock banks. The Directors have the pleasure to announce that five gentlemen of great inflnence and high position have joined the board of the amalgamated company, in addition to your Present Directors. The accounts have been audited by 1. Maynard, Esq , of Bread-street, and W. B. Ford, Esq., auditor of the Joint-Stock Discount Company, both public accountants of high repute. In conclusion, your Directors wish to recall to the minds of shareholders the words used by t hem in the original prospectus of the Credit Mobilier, in alluding to the pro sperous results of the then existing financial companies, including the Credit Mobilier of Paris, which had then just declared 25 per cent. dividend per annum. Then they thus expressed themselves : " The Directors of the Credit Mobilier Limited (your Company) anticipate with confidence that results equally satisfactory will attend the progress of .this Company." They now trust the shareholders gill think they had reason for their confidence.—By order o f the Board, J. STUART WORieLEY9 Chairman. JAMES LE VICK, D e puty Chairman. London, August 27, 1864.

Gentlemen,—The Directors will not conceal from the shareholders the gratification they experience at this, the first result of their labours, and they trust this feeling will be 4nared by these on whose behalf they have been under taken. It is believed that equal results,considering thelimited capital at their disposal and the short time it has been in their hands, have been attained by few, if any existing com panies of whatever description. This result, satisfactory as it must be even to the most expectant investor, is not that which gives your Directors the only cause for congratulation ; the high position your Companies have been able to take up, not merely with the general public, but with that portion of the financial and mercantile body whose approval and co-operation is a posi tive pecuniary gain, is equally satisfactory. The feeling of having secured this compensates alike your Directors and executive for the:great amount of time, anxiety, and attention the affairs of the companies have required from them ; these labours have been further enhanced by the great want of capital in their hands, the amount of which they have felt has been more in the nature of a sum for experimental using than as indicating a capital worthy of a finance company bearing such a title as yours. You are doubtless aware that during the period just gone through we have taken part in establishing several public companies, all of which your Directors have reason to think will be found useful and profitable in the several branches for which they were formed. They would especially refer to the Imperial Bank of China, India, and Japan, whose share holders will reap an established position much earlier than theyleould possibly have expected, an amalgamation having been arranged for it with an existing fir st- class bank, having a similar field of operations ; this has been successfully negotiated through the influence of your:Companies. Another, also, of the Companies established by us, and n which we take a great interest, is The City Offices Corn pany, which (although, as is usual, imitative schemes have since been introduced) promises to fill a want much felt in the City, and with profit to its proprietary. A loan of £300,000, for five years, on behalf of this latter Company, bearing 5 per cent. per annum interest, has also been successfully placed by your Companies, and from the , TT the Great Northern Rail way AL, Gray's-inn-road, O l Y n A th l e i lm F .

Within the last few yearn the question of water supply has engaged the serious attention of munici pal bodies. The spread of social science has brought home to the minds of civic authorities that pure water is the first of sanitary agents. Towns are no longer content to take their water from the nearest river or canal without regard to the chemical changes which it may have undergone in flowing from its source to the point at which it is diverted for domestic purposes ; nor are they satisfied with such a supply as may be obtained by the inhabitants at a parti cular hour and at a particular spot. Street pumps are all but superseded, 'even house cisterns are not deemed sufficiently convenient to answer all purposes of domestic use, and most of the new waterworks are being constructed on the principle of high-level service—that is, of affording a supply in any apartment to which pipes may be carried, as is the case with gas. In this metropolis the New River Company have recently gone to the expense of filling in the cutting which carried the water into North London, and of laying down large mains to take the place of an open canal. The town of Glasgow has spent an enormous sum in pro curing its supply of water from Loch Katrine, and at this moment works are being constructed to afford a high-level supply to Dublin from water sheds and the River Yartry, at a point in the county of Wicklow 27 miles from that city. It is not surprising, therefore, that the dreadful catastrophe wuich occurred at Sheffield in March last should, have given rise to considerable apprehension through out the United Kingdom, and that wherever great reservoirs had been recently provided, or were in course of construction, much alarm was felt lest they should meet with a fate similar to that which had befallen the Bradford reservoir of the Sheffield Waterworks Company. The evidence taken at the inquest which followed the inundation at Sheffield put the public in pos session of the immediate cause of that accident, but since that inquiry the Town Council of Sheffield have procured professional opinions, which, while dealing specifically with that particular case, con• tain a statement of general principles which are in• teresting scientifically, and cannot but prove useful to corporations and companies engaged in the cone struction of waterworks on a large scale. It is the conclusion of several eminent engineers that the giving way of the reservoir at Bradfield was caused by water having got under the outside slope of the embankment, which either induced the bank itself or the foundation on which it rested to slip. But it is satisfactory to learn on the same competent au thority that the most capacious reservoir may be provided without the dangers of any such mishap. As a preliminary, however, a careful geological sur vey must be made. Whether this was done in the case of the Sheffield reservoirs we are not prepared to say ; but if Sir John Rennie be right it scarcely could have been, for he tells the corporation, "I cons der the site of the Bradfield embankment to have been injudiciously selected—the strata con. sisting chiefly of millstone grit, but with loose friable shale in the deepest part, unequal in qua. lity'and dislocated, with old land slips in the vicinity, extensive faults in the strata, and with several strong springs of water which it was difficult to avoid." Other engineers are equally decided in their objections to the site. But even supposing that the site had been a good one, those gentlemen state that the embankment was extremely faulty in its construction ; and their remarks on this head have a universal application. Most people have seen the process of constructing a railway em bankment, The "stuff''' or material is deposited in "tips"—that is, it is tilted over from a waggon, and load after load is deposited until the required height and width are obtained. This appears to have been the method followed in the construction of the Bradfield reservoir. Mr. Conybeare says the material " was loosely thrown in by waggons, in tips of from five to nine feet ; instead of being evenly spread and well consolidated (by the passage of one-horse carts all over it) in parallel layers of only as many inches thick." Mr. Leslie observes that in tips of that character the material may con tinue to sink or subside for many years after the construction of the embankment ; while Mr. Stevenson points out that by such a mode of construction clods or stones must invariably find their place of repose at the bottom, and thus produee unsound layers or strata in the embankment, which layers will be full of interstices and calculated to admit the free percolation of water Some half-dozen engineers of great experience ex press similar opinions, and all concur in stating that the embankment of a reservoir should be laid in layers of only a few inches in depth, whist' should be well " punned," or rammed. The next point to which these gentleman apply themselves is one of equally general importance—namely, the construc tion of the pipes and the manner in which they should be laid when passing out of the rese rvoir. rvo l ir B The pipes of the Sheffield Company we re on inches in diameter ; and as such conduits should b e of such a calibre as to afford an opportunity for in. ternal examination, most of the engineers whom the corporation have consulted hold that diam e t er to have been insufficient. A still greater defect was that the valves were on the outside of the embankment only. Thus there was no means of shutting off the water in the inside of the dam ; whereas, if valves bad been fixed on the inner end ;eee2' of the pipes, access could have been 1 lad to them when the reservoir was full. TI Lie !,'.P ungement is strongly commented on by the en gine( 'es. - But per haps the most important question ton( !heenpon in the professional reports is that of t he manner in which pipes should be laid from thi 3 reservoir to beyond the embankment. In the cast 3of the Bred field reservoir they were laid in a trot eh under the dam. The engineers whose reports the Sheffield Town Council publish are nine in iturn - ber—Mr Leslie, Mr Stevenson, Mr J. Murray. I Ur Cc nybeare, Mr Lee, Mr Barlow, Sir John R: mnie, Mr C. Vignolles, and Mt M. B. Jackson ; and several of them in unequivocal terms condemn that ,plan. Leslie considers it a much better course, when practicab:e, to drive a tunnel in the solid at the end of the embankment, in v - hie' tunnel the pipes should be laid. Shou.,d there be no suitable ground for tunnelling, he would build a culvert of very substantial masonry, large enough to carry floods during the time the bank was in. progress of construction, and in which the pip( could afterwards be inserted. Mr. Murray slat :a.s unhesitatingly that the tunnel for the pipes oug,bt to be laid in the solid ground, and others of the re porting engineers speak with Equal confidence to the same effect. Mr. Barlow, though of opinion that no pipes should be laid under an embankment un- I less the embankment rests on a rock foundation, and the pipes are laid in excavations, eo that they are well below the surface, does not think it im portant that they should be laid in a c ulvert el' tunnel, as brickwork is more liable to fail than ircea, and if it failed the pipe would probably be destroy e d at the same time. But Sir John Rennie states that the proper plan is to carry the pipes through the solid ground or strata in tunnels of masonry either on one side of the embankment or the other, but wholly independent of it; and Mr. Jackson goes the length of saying that the longer a storage re• servoir has existed with pipes laid under or through an embankment, the nearer it is to inevitable de struction, unless preventive steps be taken. Cast iron, he says, is a treacherous material as well as a perishable one; and he advises that the pipes whicl run under the embankments of the Sheffield reser— voirs should be permanently plugged up, and that fresh means should be provided for the discharge. of the water. From this gentleman's report it wonld seem that there still exists a doubt as to whether the water got into the embankment by leak age through the pipes, or by a leakage under or through the puddle. With respect to the comparative merits of a constant water supply and an intermittent one, Mr. Lee remarks that in the case of the latter the water is less pure at the taps than in the reservoirs,, because when the pipes are empty oxide of iron i a formed, and discharged with the water on the ne:et delivery. It is but fair to say that the reports from wliich we have been quoting formed part of a case pre. pared by the Sheffield Town Council against an application to Parliament by the Waterworks Com pany for additional powers. The battle between the two bodies has been fought and decided, and in its details the public would probably not take much interest ; but there can be no doubt that in obtain ing the opinions of so many eminent engineers on the construction of water reservoirs for the supply of towns, the corporation have done a service, not only to their own constituents, but to all the cities and towns in the empioe. The Perth Albert Memorial. PERTH, Monday. The following communications have been received. by Sir David Ross, Lord Provost of Perth, in answer to the addresses delivered at the inauguration of the Perth Albert Memorial, on Tuesday, the 30th. of August : " Balmoral, Aug. 31. " am commanded by her Majesty to convey to you the expression of her Majesty's entire satis. faction with the arrangements which had been made by yourself and the civic authorities of tha city of Perth for the ceremonial of yesterday. Nothing could be more gratifying to her Majesty's feelings on the occasion of inaugurating a statue t,o the memory of the Prince Consort than the d meanour of the people, which showed how co n pletely they felt the character of the day's proce ad ings, and the quiet order with which every part of the ceremonial war: conducted.

Bramr.wonAlsr, Monday night, 10 p.m. An accident, nearly attended with very serious cense• quences, occurred at the London and North-Western Com pany's station, in this town, to-night. The 6 o'clock express from London, due hero at 9 p.m., arrived punctually. The engine had passed through the tunnel on to the line in the station; at this point the engine, tender, and guard's van, with one passenger carriage, passed on all right. The socond and third carriages were thrown off the rails, and the fourth carriage was thrown on its side. In it unfortunately there were only two passengers, who almost by a miracle escaped without being much hurt. They were extricated through the windows on the upper side. The remaining portion of the train, consisting of three or four second class carriages, with the last guard's van, remained on the rails. The train having been brought to a stand the carriage thrown on its side was dragged along a few yards, and ultimately the end of it came in contact with a portion of the platform, which it tore up. A part of one large flagstone, three feet in length, was forced into the carriage which had been thrown over. The passengers above referred to were extricated, having it is hoped, sustained ne very serious injuries, and Mr Oliver Pemberton, the company's surgeon, was in a few minutes on the spot, ready to assist the passengers, many of whom were in a state of great excitement. Mr Roberts, the general superintendent, was also at the scene immediately, and every effort was made to clear the line, which just now is much thronged. This was done as speedily as possible. Major Dixon, of the Ist Royals, was standing on the plat form when the accident occurred. He was knocked down and much shaken. Two causes have been assigned for the accident. One is, that the turn-table, over which the train had to pass, had been left improperly fastened; the other is, that there was something wrong in connection with the points. THEATRE INTERESTS IN LIVERPOOL. —The Liverpool magistrates on Friday cancelled the fol lowing rules relative to the theatres in the borough, inas much as they had been instructed by counsel that they had no power to impose their terms upon the managers the :--- saay,theatres main tain ; h " That no common prostitute, or rep uted thief, or other any best of of his id ability, notoriously disordered person, sha ll be knowin gly admitted into or permitted to r s em ai, ai i n in but that the manager to the and keep good order and decent behaviour in the theatre during the hours of performance." " And every manager or other person having the care or management of any theatre who shall make default in compliance with these rules. or eithgr of them, shall forfeit and pay for such offence a sum not exceeding £20." It was stated that similar rules to those existed in Birmingham, Manchester, and elsewhere.
