The CHLIMILN then declared a dividend in accordance
with the report ; after which he reeved that the report be
received and printed for the use of the shareholders ; and
this motion having been seconded, the Chairman observed
that the business was concluded.

Mr. Coaxer wished to know why they were going back
in their profits, the bonus being 3s. less than it was at that
time last year!
The said the cause of the difference was to be
found in the reduced rates of interest. The directors could
not make the same profits when money was at 2 or 3 per
coot. as when it was at 7 or tl per cent.
Mr. Koons remarked that the dividend was still at the
rate of 223 per cent per annum, which he considered per-
fectly satisfactory. (Cheers.)
Mr. CoRNST then moved a vote of thanks to the board,
and this motion having been seconded by Mr. dowel(
Wititon, was carried unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN having returned thanks for himself and
his consignee, the meeting separated.

The ceremony of opening the new building
erected at Ham-common for the National Orphan Home
took place yesterday in the presence of a large and faabiou-
able gathering. It was expected that Fart Russell would
h►ve presided on the °canon, but his duties elsewhere pre-
venting his attendance, his eldest son, Lard Amberley, sup-
plied his place. This was the first appearance in public of
this young nobleman. In proposing the tout of the day,
after lunch, he briefly pointed out the benefits at this and
similar institutions, and expressed a warm interest in their
welfare.

The colonel group of Christopher Coltunbus was
hoisted on its pedestal at Genoa on the 13th. The opera-
tion succeeded admirably, all the engines working in per-
fect harmony. It began at half-past ti a.m. and ended at
10 o'clock cm. The group is to remain covered until this
day fixed for the inauguration.
THE LANCASHIRE OPERATIVES.—" S. G. O.
' makes an eloquent appeal on behalf of the operatives of the
north. "1 think," he says, "the olden among us can
scarcely remember a time when the nee-suffering world so
thoroughly made holiday as it has this present season. I
am not writing to rebuke, but to supplicate. God knows,
it would be as easy to do one as the other; I would ear-
nestly beseech those who joy to think once more at
these who weep. I have had reason to feel great faith in
may appeal to the purses even of the most worldly.
have known continued deeds of anonymous—i.e.,
secret mercy—done by even the Anonyms' clam.
I have known men whom lives knew no god but
fashion, who neither care to proton or to deny Christianity,
yet go forth and do works of the truest charity. I am
strong in the faith that good doing' has a charm in itself
which will viudioate its truth, even in the heart of the most
world-hardened. I appeal to all alike for these suffering
operatives. I have often thought what a few known gentle-
men and lodise could do were they permitted but for two
days in the week to stand at the door of the Exhibition to
receive the smallest contributions for suffering ' mid-hoods.'
lam sure the Exhibition would not suffer. Was it not
opened with prayer? Can charity be out of place at its
gates?.
