SOUTHAMPTON DOCK COMPANY.

Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of this com-
pany took place at the offices in llishopsgate-ctrect•within.
Colonel 13AttLoW in the chair.

The report showed an increase of 1,8621. in the re-
venue for the past half-year us compared with the corre-
sponding period of 1850, After providing, however, fur
additional charges for quay labour, tke., and appropriating
810/. to replace the deficiencies between receipts and expen-
diture in the two preceding half-yearv, the disposable ba-
lance would be reduced to 42/., and consequently no divi-
dend could be declared. The progressive increase of receipts
was matter of congratulation, and the prospects of the cur-
rent six months are favourable. The inner ducks are expected
to be open fir the reception of ships in November,
and the expenditure upon them will have been
limited to 20,0001. The report was adopted, and
the proceedings terminated with the usual tribute of
thanks to the Chairman.

Tux. GREAT EXHIBITION.— The attendance of
visitors at the Exhibition yesterday numbered 01,311, and
the receipts, including 51. 10s. for season tickets, amounted
to 2,499/.
1/18BOTERT OF A MANVFACTORV OF SPURIOUS
TEA.—The detective revenue police corps, acting under
Mr. Scott, have just discovered an important scat of the
spurious tea manufacture. The premises in question ore
No. 9, Dond-street, Commercial-road. The officers, on
entering the suspected house, proceeded to the kitchen,
where they found, in working order, the wooden presses,
drying trays, leather and muslin bags, colouring mutters,
and all the apparatus and materials employed in the art of
giving to exhausted tea leaves the semblance of the genuine
product. lkvides a great quantity of raw and partially con-
verted material, 98 packages of the finished article wero
discovered, in a form ready for the market. Neither the
eonductors of the process nor the owners of the plant wero
discovered, although their early apprehension is expected.
The stock and utensils were, however, seized, and con-
veyed to the Revenue-office, in Broad-street.
TuE CuMBOUND 110UsEHOLinfits' ALT, passed
during the last session of parliament, has been brought
somewhat etLetively into operation in Manchester under
the superintendence of the registration committees. Mon-
day was the last day for claims to lie sent in, and the
League Registration Society, on behalf of the free-traders,
has given its assistance to about 6.50 applicants in making
claims, the greater portion of whom claim under this bill.
The only other registration society is one calling itself the
Protestant Defence Association, and the number of appli-
cations they have received is about MO. This makes about
900 persons whose names will probably be added to tho
register under the hill, independent of those who will have
claimed by direct application to the overseers and otherwise.
The names ou the complete register of last year were 11,811,
so that the increase will form a large per centago consider-
ing how ill-informed people are at present as to the scope
and design of the act, and, indeed, as to its existence at dl.
Eva:o4lva FIRE.—Ono of the moat extensive
fires that has occurred in the metropolis fur some time past,
broke out this morning at a few minutia before 1 o'cleck, in
an immense range of manufacturing premises, situate in .
Pleasant-row, Pelliam-street, Mile-end New Town, used as
lard and oil works, and supposed to belong to Mr. Crossley,

of the firemen took place, and they proceeded towards tho
scene
the engines were driven into the Whitechapel-road, •
where huge bodies of sparks flying over the house-
tops in the road, convinced the firemen that they were not
far from the scene of conflagration. Having turned down
some of the aye streets they came in front of the blazing
pile, when a scene of fearful grandeur presented itself, for
the whole of the inward building was wrapped in sheets of
flame. The various engines of the London brigade West
of England, and parish, were immediately set to work from
a supply of sniter furnished by the East London company's
mains; but iti spite of the utmost 'zealous of the firemen
and the vast torrents of water scattered over the blazing
pile, the work of devastation continued, and it was nearly
two o'clock before the least irnpressim could be made upon
to the
