income tax, was declared, and the accounts were unani-
moutly adopted. It was explained that the employment
of the ,assets has enabled the directors to make this dis-
tribution, which is a quarter per cent, under former pay-
ments' when an allowance from Government was re-
ceived. With regard to the financial statement, it was
ira-,l,.ioned that it varies little from that presented in May
lost. The company, it is anticipated, will be finally
wood up in January, and 115 per cent of the assets re-
alised is to be returned, according to arrangement, to the
proprietors to-day. It the close of the proceedings a

GENERALWRANGEL'S COLLECTION OFVASES.—AIetter
in the Semaphore of Marseilles says :—" The Phlegeton
has taken to Odessa to the Velem), which is about to re-
turn to France, a number of pictures and works of art
taken at Kerteh. These objects have not been pillaged,
but come from the country seat of. General Wrangel,
commander-in-chief of the Russian troops on the
coasts of the Sea of Azoff. He is a great amateur of
the fine arts, and a good judge of painting and sculp•
ture. He had succeeded in forming a varied collection
of works of art, and in it were some objects which
could have occupied an honcemble place in - the first
museums of Europe. Ire possessed, .amongst other
things a choice collection of Etruscan vases, and of ex-
tremely rare . antiquities ,of the country, At present
these objects are destined for the Louvre. At the mo-
ment at which the troops were about to take possession
of Kertch, everything that was most precious in the
house of the Russian general had been placed in a large
barge which was taken in tow by a small steamer ; but
the steamer being afraid of capture cast off the barge,
and we took it, so that its contents are a lawful prize."
STATE OF TRADE.—Between seasons the lace trade
necessarily retains its quiescent posture, and anything at
all in motion is of a prospective character.. The Ameri-
cans have up to this time certainly not taken their ave-
rage amount of our produce, and may therefore be com-
pelled to operate more extensively on that account on
the resumption of business. Hosiery is this week ex-
tremely dull, the inexplicable resumption of speculation
in cotton and the refusal of spinners to accept former
rates having brought manufacturing activity to a pause.
The London houses having this week concluded stock-
taking, are in process of sorting their goods ; and as spin-
ners by their demands, and manufacturers by their cau-
tion, have, betwixt them, reduced manufacturing stocks
6xtreniely low, activity may possibly be renewed on the
resumption of business, so that the future still continues
hopefnl.—Nottinghamshire Guardian.
A Russiaat EMISSARY.—It has been ascertained that
M. Peterssen, the Russian Secretary of Legation at
Lisbon' went to France with the King of Portugal,
crossed over to England, and left Southampton for
Lisbon in the Tagus mail packet, on the 17th of last
month. This is the third time. M. Peterssen has visited
England since the war with Russia. The object of these
visits to England is to get saltpetre shipped from Eng-
land to some German port via Lisbon. M. Ozeroff, the
Russian ambassador at Lisbon since the war, went to
Lisbon from England in a British steamer, with an
Austrian passport.
POLICE WORT, The Commissioners of the Metropo
litan Police have recently superannuated a police CO*:
stable of the name of William Jones, who was long at-
tached to the D or Marylebone division, after an ardu-
re„ landret return
oa
thiswn e"
ous service of nearly 26 years. What renders this aisna
services the more extraordinary is the fact that while he
was in the force he apprehended the unprecedented num-
ber of 3,522 persons for various offences, and that from
March, 1845, to March, 1855, he had no less than
1,583 persons committed for trial ; while during the
same period he apprehended 523 area sneaks—the most
dangerous class of persons that infest the metrop(r)lices:
Jones was much respected bybelieve,
and is now superannuated on a pension of, we

DEPARTMENTAL RAILWAY COMPANY OF FRANCE.--
A prospectus Las been published of this company, with
a capital of 1,000,0001,, of which half is to be subscribed
in England. The object of the company is to execute
the various sections necessary to complete the network
of French railways, by laying down cheap connecting
lines on the track of existing roads. Whatever may be
the prospects of the enterprise, the readiness of English
capitalists to embark in it is likely to be diminished by
the recent proceedings in connection with the Western
of France Railway for removing as many of the English
directors as possible.
ELLAND.—A few fields of grass have been cut during
the past week in the neighbourhood. The crop ap-
pears heavy. and we -shall have plenty of grass, though
rather later than usual. The corn also lookg very
healthy. There is every appearance of a plentiful bar-
v:,st, the present fine weather bringing it fast on,—./lali-
