WHERE CAN WE :MEET ,AF I'ER THE PANTOMIMES ? My dear Fellow, Gentlemen sup at EVANS', Covent-garden. Pius XL and the Nations. Mr, Dickens's Remembrance of Mr, Thackeray. The following is the text of the address, already briefly announced in our columns by telegram, as Lip.ving been the other day solemnly prestrited to the Holy Father by 300 Cgholies of all cations, Lt present in Holy Father,—As Catholics of all the nations represented in the capital of Christendom, we have solicited the honour of laying at the feet of your Holiness the home ;e of our derpest veneration and most faithful self-devotion. We have already been witnesses at the beginning of the New Year that your Holiness was greeted by the inhabitants cf your city of Rome with moving manifestations of their love. Be it also allowed to us, your children in the spiti:u il order of things, to hail with our greetings and our good wishes that Pontifical royalty, made more sacred still by misfor tune, and the necessity of whose existence increases iu the very proportion of the criminal machinations which threaten it from abroad. May the year which is opening be better than preceding years. May it bring some consolation to your paternal heart! May it, by the restoration of your authority, satisfy the long expectation of justice and right, which have not on earth a more august impersonification than your Holiness! Such is our most ardent de. ire, and the prayer which rises from our souls towards that God whose Vicar you are. Having been witnesses of all the great works of a univer sal character which are being carried out in Rome, we shall go back to our various countries to tell to our brethren how just and holy is the duty of corning in aid of the wants of our common Father and of our common country. For Rome, such as the piety of ages has made her, Rome is truly our common country, as you are our common Father. There is no nation, however rebellious or wandering, who is not under obligation to the Holy Roman Church. It is she who keeps entire the depositof moral truths without which all societies would return to barbarism..:, is from, her womb, ever torn yet ever prolific, that cams forth, and still come forth, the Apostles of all nations. We, who coma from the most varied climes, from the East or the West, from Europe or America, to meet at the feet of your Holiness, we cannot make a step in Rome with out meeting with footsteps of some great ancestor in our faith. Within that magnificent enclosure, which St. Peter crucified contemplated and blessed from the top of the Jani culum, everything, from the prison of St. Paul to the trium phal spot of his martyrdom, from the Church of St. Gregory to that of St Clement, from the Idissionsof St Alexis to those of the Gesu, everything speaks to us of our native lands ; there did the heroic men, who gave baptism to our nations and bore them to civilization, draw their inspiration and fire their souls with the sacred fire; St. Denis of the French, St. Austin of the English, St. Patrick of the Irish, St. Boniface of the Germans, St. Adalbert of the Poles, St. Cyril of the Russians, St. Auschairus of the Scandinavians. We should quote the Popes also ; for,creators and saviours as they are of Italy, they belong at the same time, by the immensity of their Apostleship, to the whole of mankind! How then, Holy Father, should not our gratitude mingle with our admiration ? At present, perhaps, more than ever under your memorable Pontifioste, the Eternal City ap pears as the universal city; everything done in Rome is done for the city and the whole world. Those seminaries for all nations founded or kept ap by your solicitude, those houses of hospitality, those colleges, oecumenical as it were, that incomparable institution of Propaganda, where we Aggregate sale, 25,000.

No one can ever have seen him more genial, natural, cordial, fresh, and honestly impulsive, than I hare seen him at those times. No one cm be surer than. I,'of the greatness and the goodness of the heart that the❑ diselosee , itself. We had our differences of opinion. I thought that he too much feigned a want of earne6tness, and that b© made a preteuca of undervaluing bia arl which was not good for the art that he held in trust. But, when he tell upon these topics, it was never very gravely, and I have a lively image of him in my mind, twisting both his hands in his hair, and stamping about, laughing, to make an end of the discussion. 'When we were associated in remembrance of the late Mr. Douglas Jerrold, ho delivered a public lec- turn in London, in the course of which he read his very best contribution to Punch, des-ribing the grown up cares of a poor family of young children. No one hearing him could have doubted his natural gentleness, or his thoroughly unaffected manly sym pathy with the weak and lowly. He read the paper most pathetically, and with a simplicity of tender ness that certainly moved one of his audience to tears. This was presently after his standing for Oxford, from which place ho had despatched his agent to me, with a droll note (to which he after wards added a verbal poetcript) urging me to "come down and make a speech, and tell them who he was, for he doubted whether more than two of the electors had ever heard of him, and he thought there might be as many as six or eight who had heard of me." Ho introduced the lecture just mentioned, with a reference to his late electioneering failure, which was full of good sense, good spirits, and good humour. were present but yesterday at one of the grandest festivals of the great human family; those crypts restored to the light of day and the veneration of the faithful ; those ma jestic basilicas found again underground or restored from their ruins ; these cemeteries of the martyrs honoured with a love which recalls that Damascus and Pascal ; that museum of the Lateran. added to so many other magnificent displays ; those daring and learned re searches in the depths of the catacombs, whence we see come forth, thanks to splendid publications, a new and irrefutable apology for our holy religion; those pious resto rations of an immortal past, which your Holiness carries on with a magnanimous tranquillity through spoliations and persecutions I—in a word, so many works and so many labours, which are the glory of Rome, are Christendom's treasure and form a part of her most precious patrimony. And we may say, in the name of our brat hren, that Christen dom shall acknowledge so many services and benefits. He had a particular delight in boys, and an ex cellent way with them. I remember his once asking me with fantastic gravity, when ho had been to Eton where my eldest son then was, whether I felt as he did in regard of never seeing a boy with out wanting instantly to give him a sovereign. I thought of this when I looked down into his grave after he was laid there,-for I looked down into it over the shoulder of a boy to whom he had been kind. These are slight remembrances; but it is to little r amiliar things suggestive of the voice, look, man The St. Peter's Pence, resuscitated in days of crisis: by the free charity of the faithful, is, first and foremost, a debt of conscience. Is it not just that all should contribute to what is a profit for all P Christendom shell not be want ing to her sacred obligation. She knows that in its more and more generous realisation resides, until the restoration of order, one of the last guarantees of the material inde pendence of the Church. She will try to make her offerings equal your misfortune and her love; and, at the same time, she will continue to send her children around you, in the ranks of that Pontifical army, issued also in full life from the spontaneous impulse of children who see their ner, never, never more to be encountered on this earth, that the mind first turns in a bereavement. The National Shakspere Committee. We see no reason, says the Queen, to apprehend that the secession of the members of the National Shakspere Committee, which was announced with so much pomp and circumstance in the daily papers last week, will seriously compromise the chances of a creditable Tercentenary Celebration taking place in London on the 23d of April next. Whatever dia saZisfaction may be felt (and justly so) by the judi cious, at the jobbery and mismanagement of those whom Mr. Punch has dubbed " the Athenccum clique," there can be no pretence for asserting that the committee is practically dead, or (as our facetious contemporary puts it) even in artieulo mortis. The public is usually very slow to adopt any view of a matter which does not immediately concern its material welfare, and is quite as slow to abandon a sentimental notion when it has once fairly adopted it. There will be a celebration in London and a monument too, the limes, Mr. Punch, Mr. Tom Taylor, and Mr. Friswell notwithstanding. The gentlemen who seceded (although for the most part excellent gentlemen in their way) were by no means the strength of the movement, and they have left many geed men and true behind them. We understand that since their somewhat pretentious retirement, not more than committeemen have followed their example. The secession of Messrs. Martin, Hardy, Shirley Brooks, Brewer, Walker, and Gruneison is to be regretted; but why Mr. Taylor should deem it necessary to inf len the world that ho had retired from a movement which he never took any part in, is not easy to understand. The act was on his part as preposterous as his sudden zeal for the national British Drama ; though what he would understand by dramas " kindred " to Shakspere, except trans lations from Scribe, Angier, and Co., passes us to conceive. However, Mr. Taylor has joined the Stratford celebration as one of its Vice-presidents, and joy go with him. As for Mr. Friswell, it is possible that the National Committee will survive his defection ; but the publisher of his forthcoming book about Shakspere will have to remove from the advertisements the distinguished title of " Member of the National Committee." Father attacked, and from the Royal inspiration of your heart, which in spite of perils from without, would not allow the often necessary but ever rigorous burden of con scription to weigh on your subjects. Thisarmy of volunteers of all countries, so small in numbers, so great from the re collection of Castelfidardo which rests or it, is greater still from its spirit of sacrifice, from its disinterested self-devo tion, from its patient abnegation, from all those qualities which are the noblest form of heroism,and truly worthy of watching with the soldiers of France sound the chair of St. Peter and of Pius 11. I It is with such feelings, Holy Father, of veneration for your person, of admiration for your coirage and virtues, of absolute devotion to your cause, of unshakeable and calm trust in the triumph promised by providence to your rights, that, prostrate at your feet, we inpiore from your Holiness its paternal blessing on ourselves, our families, our countries. The Pope responded to this adlress by one of ,hose impressive allocutions of which that august Pontiff knows the secret, an d which was tran- scribed by some of its hearers vith rill possible fidelity, as follows _ _ The words, so full of tenderness, which you have made and whi c h give to my poor h eart ntmheee Pope,w h s e t a r r e m g t y a h n d d e t o a n r e m s l o i a g n i intna. haven to on thegiv b hear to the world. end right, justice, and truth—those words are but th e ec h o cf what the Church, They aro the echo of that voice of j ust i ce an d trut h w hi c h the Apostles and their succes sors hav e r a i se d i n a ll a ges, at i all times, and especially n the time in which we live. The Apostle St. Peter, as St. Lawrence has said, by coming to Rome showed a greater and Dore courageous faith than when he walked on the sea; th e greater from his en tering into a city which was then b ut a forest of wild and irritable beasts. But little by little, on listening to the voice of the Apostle of Jesus Christ, those wild beasts be came good and obedient lambs. During the very first hour, St. Peter sent into Umbria St, Briceus, and into Romagna St. Apollinarius. The inhabitants of those countries lived at that time in barbarism and paganism. I llow not whether it was in God's designs to give theso provinces to the Church as a Patrimony, but I know that the Church possesses them at present, that they are entrusted to the Pope ; and what 1 never consent to abandon them, or to any shameful c o mpromise, r anting you my Apostolic kn l ow co p nc a l r u ti d c e u , la m r y ly d is ea th r a s t on l s, s b h y al g l kßeleepsstihngos;e but provinces, ulwish it t is to say, how ever, that if I desire to not to be a King.

Wretchedness I r ight to t ouc h w h a t i s will make that voice of justice minewretc ; h wretchedness sone,s truth ABbnued t h t n e o a o r t d h o . e ne end ha l s w Both Mr. Punch and Mr. Vizitelly have inti mated that the nobie vice-presidents whose names have been put so prominently forward have as yet taken no part in the proceedings of the committee. This is by no means the case. Lord Granville, the Duke of Manchester, the Archbishop of Dublin, and Mr. Cowper have all taken very active parts in the matter, and have attended several meetings. We violate, moreover, no confidence when we state that at a meeting of the principal vice-presidents held this week, it was unanimously determined upon to proceed with the matter; so that the defection which has occurred, and the consequent scandal, if they are to have any effect at all, will probably re sult in infusing a little sorely-needed energy into the proceedings of the committee. Already we are glad to see that the committee is beginning to give signs of Its existence in the advertising columns of the newspapers ; the site and monument sub-com mittees are reported to be actively at work, and their report may be expected before the next meet ing of the general body, when, no doubt, there will be something definite to put before the public, and a public meeting will be arranged to be held at the Mansion House. Finally, we under stand that if the worst were to happen, the citi zens of the good old City of London will not allow the matter to drop through for want of support, and that in the last result the event will be properly commemorated at the Guildhall, and an ample sub scriptio❑ will be forthcoming, sufficient, at least, to provide a creditable monument for the City. The irate gentlemen of the Times and Punch may, there fore, make their minds perfectly easy on the sub ject; roar or jeer us they may, they cannot prevent a metropolitan celebration of Shakspere's tercen tenary birthday.

Chiswell, an eating house keeper, No. 11, Broadway, London-fields, Hackney. For tunately the occupants were enabled to effect their escape trotn the buildings without receiving any personal injury. Upon the arrival of the firemen they found the whole of Mr. Chiswell's premises enveloped in flames. The mains of the East London Company's warks having yielded a bountiful supply of water, the brigaJe at once took advan tage or the same, but the fire cauld not be extinguished un til the building and its stock in trade, the furniture, and other effects were totally destroyed.

The Court of Assizes of the Seine (says Galignani of Saturday) tried Henry Shaw, aged 26, a native of Newcastle (England), lately a valet in the ser vice of the Dake of Brunswick, for having, on the Bth December last, stolen from his master's resi dence diamonds and other precious stones to the value of 2,900,000 f., besides a considerable sum in gold. The court was crowded with persons anxious to see the diamonds and their owner, but they were disappointed, for the duke was unable to attend on account of indisposition, and the diamonds have long since been restored to his keeping. It appeared from the evidence that the duke, who had been choosing diamonds to them to his jeweller for mounting, happened on the Bth Dec., to leave the inner door of his iron safe unlocked, and merely closed the outer door. This fact, by some means or other, became known to the prisoner, who was temporarily acting in the confidential situation of valet, though originally engaged as a footman from a registry-cffice, having just before been in service at an hotel, with 3f. per day wages. The duke went out about eight in the evening. after ordering the prisoner to sit up for him. Instead of doing so, the prisoner went out and purchased a number of locks, one of the keys of which he filed down to fit the look of the safe, secured his booty, and made off. On his return, the duke was surprised to find that Shaw had left the house, after requesting another servant to wait for his master. Suspecting something wrong, the duke went to the safe and found that the outer door had been opened, and part of his jewels and cash stolen. He at once gave notice to the police, and the prisoner was arrested at Boulogne when on the point of embarking for England, with most of the diamonds and the greater part of the money still in his possession. The missing cash the prisoner had spent at a house of ill-fame, and had given 1,400 fr. to one young woman. W hen interrogated by the Court, the prisoner refused to defend himself, and was exceedingly free and easy i❑ his replies. The president having said—•' Shaw, give us some ex planations; the jury do not know why you are here." The prisoner replied, " Then let them ac quit me." There is good reason to believe that the prisoner committed a serious robbery at Warsaw some time ago, but it was impossible to extract any information from him respecting his antecedents. He positively refused to state the name of the woman to whom he had given the 1,400 f., but at last said that he would do so if the president would pledge his word of honour that she should not be molested. In answer to a remark on his extreme generosity towards her, he said, "Oh ! a man does not get hold of millions every day ?" M. Wie:owglowski, the Duke of Brunswick's aide de-camp, deposed that, though diamonds to the value of 2,900,009 fr. had been recovered, others to the value of more than 130,000 fr. were still mis sing. The prisoner, on being asked what he had done with them, said that he supposed he had lost them in the house where he passed the night after the robbery, as he had them loose in his pocket, and had dropped a quantity in the bed-room there, and left them, thinking he had enough and to spare. M. Lachaud was the prisoner's counsel, but his client would not allow him to plead. The jury at once found the prisoner guilty, and the Court sen tenced him. to 20 years' hard labour. SIR WILLIAM ATHERTON has not long survived retirement from the office which ill-health com pelled him to resign. In his tedious and wasting malady we now see the cause of that inability to perform the labo rious duties of an Attorney-General, which was erroneously imputed to mental incapacity. We are bound to make this acknowledgment to his memory, because we shared and ex pressed the doubts that were current at the moment as to the true cause of his retirement. The melancholy issue has proved painfully that the assigned cause was the actual one. A few months ago we were enabled to report an improve ment in his health that induced considerable hope of his restoration to the profession. But those hopes were speedily doomed to disapi:mintmeA, and his malady still maintained its character of being incurable.—The Law limes of ,Saturday. THE ASSYRIIN SCULPTURES UNDER GLASS ! A portion of the sculptured representations of lion-hunts, taken from the palace of Konyunjik, in the Assyrian base ment room of the British Museum, has been covered with plate glass. It would bo well to extend this necessary protection against injury by the fingers of thoughtless per sons to the whole of the bas-reliefs. A SKETCH FROM DENMARK.—The lower order of Danes will bear comparison with that of any other country for strength of bodx and brightness of mind. A Somersetshire peasant would not generally have much chance of success in a village, such as we have all over Den mark, where every one can read and write, and owns a house and plot of land. It is Mr. Cobden's Paradise rea lised. Some of the peasant girls are very pretty, with pale yellow hair, and rather long noses. We noticed several faces not at all unlike the Princess of Wales. The country girls set themselves off with silk hoods and bright gowns, without much regard to colour. I have seen a yellow dress worn with a magenta Garibaldi. This last is the most favourite colour of all. But the costume of the fish-women is far more interesting than these modern mixtures, being the genuine old Friesland costume.— Cnce a Week. THE FALL OF KENT.—It is true that some of the glory of Rent as a cricketing county has of late departed. Time was when Kent could meet any county of England, or all England combined, upon equal terms. The Principal match of last season at Canterbury was between eleven of England and thirteen of Kent. It was one of the most interesting and best contested matches of the season. The second innings of England finished at five o'clock in the afternoon of the second chy. Kent only wanted 91 runs to win, and they had made 191 in their first innings. It they could by cautious play have saved their wickets until next day, and got to work freshly in the morning, it would have been no difficult task to put together 91 guns. But the tide of fortune turned, and ran against them strongly. When time was called that evening, they had lost 7 wickets for 20 runs, and next day the remaining wickets were disposed of by half-past 12 o'clock, leaving England winners by 25 runs. A match at Lord's earlier in the season, upon the same terms, had ended even more disastrously for Kent, as England won on that occasion in a single innings, Two matches . between the counties of Kent and Surrey also resulted defeats of Kent. In the first match, played at Tunbridge NVells, Surrey gained an easy victory in on o innings, with 41 runs over. At Kennington-oval, a m onth later, it looked on the third day as if Kent would win. They put Surrey in for 192 to win, and with good luck they might hope to get all, or nearly all, the &lire) , wickets before this long score was made. But the men of Surrey, who had played well throughout, played overpowelingly well now. Mort lock lost his wicket for 20 runs, and then Stephenson and Jupp finished the match between them.

THE CENTRAL LONDON RIFLE RANGERS, The annual general meeting of tlee members of this corps was held on Saturday evening at ;the New Drill Sheds Gray's-inn—Major the Hon. Hatiburton Campbell in the chair. Thero was a large atten dance of the members and the offec'ees of the corps, among whom were Captains Woods, Isaacs, Welters, Lowe, Copes, &a. The report, which was adopted, states that in consequence of the Government grant the com= mince have recommended that the LD,iwenant. Colonel should, after the Ist inst., ab7, l ,ish any further snbscriptious from members to the general fund, officers excepted. After alluding to the fact of the erection of a chill shed at a cost of £I,IOO, the report observed that one of the first results of the increased accommodation has bees the formation cf a gymnasium,in which instruction will be given on the system in process of adoption in the army. The cost of the apparatus; will be defrayed by the officers of the regiment. The la. port alluded to the satisfactory state of the regi ment. The report then alludes to the satisfactory musters of the corps on public occasions during the past year, the - annual ball, the annual dramatic performance, and the bazaar and volunteer exhi bition held at Willie's Room, which has in creased the funds. Much interest continues to be manifested in the corps by the ichabi tants of the neighbourhood, as hes been fully evinced during the past year, when they subscribed for and presented to the corps a series of battalion prizes. The committee, it ap. pears, have expresced a hope that they will be able to give a similar series of prizes annually, and one gentleman has already promised £25 a year towards the project. The financial statement of tl_ie corps shows that the balance-sheet of the general fund is £1,124, and the estimated assets and liabilities £446 Os. ld., the balance-sheet of the band fund £284 4s. 7d., and the assets and liabilities £lOB 18s. ld. At the conclusion of the eleotio9 of the committee and auditors, &c., Major CAMPBELL made a few observations with respect to the corps, which, he said, with the excep. tion of numbers, wa© in a very satisfactory state, not only in position but in efficiency. Votes of thanks were then proposed and passed to the retiring. auditors and committee, the honorary treasurers of the general and band fund, and the hon. secretary, and the proceedings were brought to a close.

This memoir will give, for the first time, some account of the curious little maga zine conducted by Mr. Thackeray when an undergraduate at Cambridge.— The Reader of Saturday. NATIONAL HOSPITALITIES.—" In France," says Mr. Sala, in his last letter to the Daily lelegraph, " you get little but sugar and water out of your friends, in Germany nothing but smoke, and in Italy there are some grand houses where you can only obtain supper by paying for it. In Spain you can procure nothing to eat, because, beyond eggs and chocolate, and garlic, there is nothing to eat. But in the United States you may ruin your digestive organs for nothing in a fortnight. If the oyster and the canvas-b tck ducks don't give you dyspepsia, the eternal ice creams and candied sweetmeats will ; and, when you fail sick, you will find plenty of kind friends to press Hoch. stottor's and Drake's Plantation Bitters as curatives on your acceptance." HONOURS AT CAMBIIIDGE.--It appears that 104 gentlemen took honours at Cambridge this year, of whom 43 were wranglers. In 1863 the number was 100, and there were 33 wranglers; in 1862 the number was 85, and there were 32 wranglers; in 1861 the number was 93, and there wero 34 wranglers ; and in 1860 the number was 121, and there were 33 wranglers. On the restrictions as to the Classical Tripos being removed in 1861, the mathe metical honour list perceptibly diminished in numbers.

THE APPROACHING COMET, which was first dis covered by Professor Respighi at Bologna, o . n the . 28th of December, the same day on which it passed . its peri helion, will, it has now been calculated, have its nearest Istpifr, and Tietjen all infer a n o c f eft o floor February,beingusor eighteen h t t hen. r : u t p ii p i l i r i b o o o n a u c s t h o o f t n o m e the i ; efst earth o r I t f h v t e h a f e b s s o s: l u s t n t t ' i s h ar e cl i from their calculations (published in the Asti ononzisclie Nachrieltten) that it is probably identical with a comet which was discovered and observed by Pons at Marseilles. in the year 1810, and that its period is little more than 53 years. Pons then described it as being " extremely faint, resembling a small round nebula." Professor Littrow, the Director of the Observatory at Vienna, thinks that it may also be identical with a comet observed in China in the year 1490. To its approaching great proximity to the earth we owe the fact that it will probably soon become visible to the naked eye.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at Cockermouth on Friday—Mr. J. STEEL, M.P., in the chair. The report stated that the working expenses, although from some special causes greater than usual, had not exceeded 42 per cent. of the receipts, and the balance against restoration account had been reduced to £3,022. The directors recom mended a dividend of 10s. per share. The opening of the Keswick Railway (expected to take place in June next), by making the Cockermouth and Work ington line part of a new route eastward and south ward, would render it desirable to adapt their working arrangements so us to conduce to the deve lopment of the anticipated traffic. The engineer and locomotive superintendent reported that the rolling stock was in good working order. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said the prospects of the line seemed to be extremely satisfactory. He believed there had been a largo increase of traffic. Mr. MUSGRAVE, in seconding the motion, ex pressed his satisfaction .at the prosperous state of the undertaking. The report was adopted, and a dividend of 102. per share for the past half year was declared. The mketing was then made special, and the directors were authorised to raise additional capital to the amount of £24,000, by the issue of 4,000 shares of £5 each, and a further issue of 800 pre ferential shares of £5 each, bearing a fixed divi dend of 42 per cent, per annum. The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. LLANELLY. The half yearly meeting of this company was held on Friday at Radley's Hotel, New Bridge-street, Blackfriars,—Mr. J. Biddulph in the chair. The report stated that the revenue for the half year ending December 31 amounted to £16,910, and the working expenses, including the hire and purchase of waggons, to £9,146, leaving a balance of £7,764, to which was added £36 from the pre ceding half year, making £7,800. After payment of £3,351 for interest on debentures and rent of Vale of Towy Railway, £4,449 remained for dividends, out of which it was proposed to pay £1,883 for divi dends at the rate of 5 and 6 per cent. per annum on the A and B preference shares respectively, and £2,462 on the ordinary stock, being at the rate of £1 ss. per cent., making, with £1 per cent. declared in July last, a dividend of 21- per cent. on the ordinary stock for the year 1863, leav ing a balance of £lO4. The income of the company in 1862 was £30,772 as compared with £31,658 in 1863, showing an increase of £886: The rent pay able to the Vale of Towy Railway Company had been increased from 2 per cent. to 3 per cent. per annum on the share capital, in accordance with the terms of the lease. The progress of the works on the Swansea and Carmarthen lines had been much retarded by unfavourable weather, but now several portions of the Carmarthen line were ready for the permanent way, the laying of which had been com menced. The capital expended on the original line, 28-1- miles in length, amounted to £358,438; on the Swansea line to £131,023; and on the Carmarthen line to £95,765. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said that, although there had been a falling off in their coal carrying trade of 16,000 tons, there had been an increase in the passenger traffic. Several new lines had been projected, which, if carried out, would probably do them a great deal of good, especially the ore from Llandilo to Lampeter. A propool had been made by the Llanelly Harbour Commissioners for the enlarge ment of the company's dock, estimated to cost £40,000, but the matter was under the consideration of the directors, the opinion at present being that the dock was quite large enough for the purposes of the company. Resolutions were passed adopting the report, de claring a dividend at the rate of £153, per cent., on the ordinary stock of the company for the past half year; re-electing Mr. Fowler, Mr. Smales, and Mr. Lewis, the retiring directors, and also Mr. W. Morris, the retiring auditor. The meeting was then made special, and the directors were authorised to issue 800 shares of £lO each for the Carmarthen line; and 11,400 shares of £lO each for the Swansea line. The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks :o the chairman and directors. LIGHT consists of certain vibrations of the pon derable molecules of matter.
