wish it appeared that the net tonne's for the half-year
animated to 30,0571 is. 7d., being 4021. 4s. 7d. less than
in the corresponding six months of the preceding year. The
Ibiliag-off was attributable to the protracted stoppage of the
savuution for the purlieu of repairs, but mainly to the de-
petard state of trade. There had een an increase in the
onnejarce of cotton goods and miscellaneous articles, fedi-
oath g that railway competition in thus arriage of goods bed
band its level. The revenue, from all sources, was
46,3431. It.. 2d., and the expenditure reached 20,4'101, Is. 4.1.

dent to pay the dividend of 21. 10s. per share, and in order

up by the shareholders of the company, which was paid nu
in instalments of 2s. 10r. per shut, and pr0due,128,1371. 10s

THE NEW ELECTRIC LIGHT.—The second publics
experimental exhibition of the new electric light took plasm
last night upon the raised steps forming the entrance to the
National Gallery and the Royal Academy. There was a
large attendance of scientific gentlemen and noblemen.
Upon the summit of the steps a kind of easel was raised,
beneath which were platted the battery end a small lamp.
About a foot above the battery woe the light produced
burning upon two pieces of charcoal, backed by a single tin
reflector, and the. light enclosed within a glees one. The
light produced was of a most powerful character. The easel
on which the machinery was suspended admitted of being
turned about, and as Imposition was altered ects within
several hundred yards' distance were rendered as clearly
visible as in the light of day, and persons at a considerable
distance beyond the Nelson column were enabled to read a
newspaper &ninety. The patentee stated that the light
would be particularly applicable for lighthouses, and added
that the light then exhibiting ,the expense of which would
not azeeed a halfpenny an hour), if placed at an altitude
with the reflector above it, would perfectly illuminate an area
of ten miles in circumference, and that it would be peril*
to produce a light which should illuminate an area of 100
mlles.
