Oriental Steam Company states that the directors
are enabled to recommend a dividend at the usual
rate of 3j per tient, with an additional payment of
1 per cent. for the haltyear ending the Slit of
March. The severe financial male which agitated
the commercial world during the earlier portion of
the six months embniced In the aocounte did not pees
away without Ita disturbing effeot on the oompany's
businses, the shipmente dank from and of specie to
China having for some time almost ceased ; but its
sound position has not been interfered with. The
details of operations generally are satisfactory, and
additional street frontage hie been required in
London to provide additional accommodation for
the business transacted. Mr. B. M. Willcox has
been appointed chairman, to supply the plus of Sir
JAMS Matheson, whose duties in his position con-
nected with his county have rendered his atten-
dance uncertain, and the vacancy in the direction
will be filled by the election either of Mr. T. M.
Wertelin, M.P., or Mr. Hugh Harris, both quail-
fled proprietors.

the children of the famous Duke of Gloucester, and
occupied for ten days by George 111. and Queen
Charlotte, on their way to Weymouth, as we find in
the "Memoirs of Madame D'Arblay." Considerable
additions have latterly been made to the ancient
Royal palace. But in the event of its becoming again •
residence, a large adjacent house, built by the late
Duke of Stimpoule, long untenanted, would probably
be engaged by the suite. A handsome police station
has just been erected at the entrance of the village.
The New Forest contains more than 60,000 acres of
land, and abounds in gems of every description.
