ITEGETABLE COOKERY.—Pastry, Pickling,
V &o.

This volume supplies a want long felt. Cookery books
exist in abundance, but they relate almost exclusively to the
preparation of dishes from animal food. his work is devoted
entirely to the proper cooking of vegetables, to preserving,
pickling, the preparation of sauces, soups, beverages, &e, &c.,
and forms a complete treatise upon the subject. Vegetables,
fruits, &c., constitute thp half of our daily food : hers is an
essay upon the best possible preparation of this half.

CANTERBURY HALL.

Other music halls may havo their distinguishing archi-
tectural characteristics, but there is but one Canterbury
Hall. No other building of the kind embraces such a noble
suite of halls, while in its great picture gallery thc Canter-
bury stands out alone, No wonder then that with recurring
seasons sightseers from the country should swarm to the
"Royal Academy over the water," whore also, in the ad-
joining sallc, grand ghost t Erects have been produced which
have outvied all cff)rts in that direction. The Canterbury
Hall at this particular moment is faithful to its reputation
in provtding an abundance of entertainment for the Christ-
mas holidays.

THE WORLD OF MAGIC.

Professor Anderson, assisted by his clever daughter,
gave two entertainments yesterday, both of which, we need
not say, were fully attended. The Wizard's marvellous
performances, his wonderful sleight of hand, Miss Ander-
son's second sight, and the rope-tying and cabinet per-
formances of Miss Lizzie Anderson and Mr Sutton were
received with shouts of applause ; and the monster
Christmas-tree, covered with gifts for the juvenile visi
tore, proved to be a great source of attraction to the men
and women of 20 years hence.

Art important and interesting statistical return,
showing the trade of the port of Swansea for the
year 1863, us compared with that of 1862, has just
been issued by the trustees of the harbour. These
returns are divisible into three general heads—viz.,
vessels windbound and arriving in ballast; secondly,
the general imports ; and thirdly, the general ex-
ports of the port. Under the first general head we
find that the number of windbound vessels which
entered the port last year was 72, with a registered
tonnage of 6,176, as against 97 vessels, of 8,3C4 tons
the previous year. The vessels arriving in ballast
last year were 2,261, of a register tonnage of 302,765,
while for the year 1862, 2,611 ships,of 331,221 tons,
arrived, thus showing a falling cff during the past
year of nearly 30,000 tons as compared with that
of 1862. The falling off in vessels entering the
port in ballast is attributable to the very high rates
charged as compared with Cardiff. On the first
day of the present year, however, a very large re-
duction of ballast rates came into operation, which
hes already made a very material difference in the
trade of the port in this department, and will pro-
bably induce a still larger number of vessels to come
to the port in ballast to load with coal, iron, and
other staple production of the district. Under
the second heading that of imports—there has been
a large increase, with the exception of copper,
copper ores and regulus, silver ores, &o. The total
imports for the past year were 405,300 tons, and
for the year 1862 369,700, being an increase in
favour of 1863 of 35,600 tons. Of the total quan-

tity of goods imported, copper and copper ore, and
regulus, silver, ores, &c., amounted to no less than
187,000 tons, the total quantity of timber amounted
to 36,000 tons, against 20,400 tons during 1862 ;
flour, grains, potatoes, &c., 19 300 tons, as against

13,100 tons in 1862; sundries, 126,800 tons in 1863,
and 132,600 tons in 1862. Of the imports, there
were 285,000 tons imported coastwise during the
year 1863, as against 273,800 in 1862 ; from the
European States 44,500 tons in 1863, as against
72,400 in 1862. Under the third general head—
that of exports—we find that total quantity of coat
and patent fuel exported in the year 1863 amounted
to 783,000 tons, against 817,000 tons in 1862 ; cop-
per, copper ores, regulus, silver and zinc ores,
47,000 tons, against 29,300 tons in 1862 ; tin plates
15,900 tons in 1863, as against 12,200 tons in

1862 ; sundries, 47,800 tons in 1863 against 43,900
in 1862—the total exports in 1863 being 905,700,
and in 1862 -914,000, being a decrease upon the
past year of 1,300 tons ; but as the decrease in the
export of coal and Intent fuel was no less than
33,300 tons, there was an increase in the general
trade of the port of no less than 25,000 as com-
pared with 1862. Of the exports we find
that there were 362,900 tons sent coastwise,
407,300 to European porta ; and 135,500 tons to
foreign ports during tho year 1863.1

RAILWAY COMPANIES.

Mr. ALCOCK asked the President of the Board of Trade
if he contemplated during the present session to amend the
85th clause of the Lands Clawsls Act, which enabled rail-
way companies to obtain compulsory possession of land
under order of magistrates.

Mr. GIBSON said ho had no intention to introduce such
a bill.

DEPORTATION OF PAUPERS.

Mr. ALCOC K asked the President of the Poor-law Board
whether he had any intention of proposing an alteration in
the law of settlement, so as to prevent a recurrence of the
case which lately occurred in the deportation of a pauper
(William Adey), who, having passed 67 years in Guernsey
as a respectable labouring raan, being worn out and unable
to maintain himself, was taken out of the hospital of the
parish of St. Peter le Port, and sent to the union of Christ-
church (the place of his birth) at the age of 77.
Mr. VILLIERS said the Poor-law department had no
urisdiction in the matter. The present law pressed very
hard on the people of Jersey, and it had been recommeaded
that the laws of Jersey should be assimilated to those of
England.

LONDON, 'TUESDAY, MARCII:I, 1864.

Mr. STANSFELD, one :f the Lords of the Admi-
ralty, is accused of complicity with a reputed
assassin. The frightful imputation
comes from
the lips of a Procureurimperial. It is uttered in
a French court of law. It is reverberated, through
the whispering gallery of the Press, all over
Europe. The insinuation, nay, far worse than
any mere insinuation, the open and flagrint accu-
sation directed against the honourable gentleman
is brought under the consideration of the British
House of Commons: As a matter of course,
when so brought before the House last evening,

MAZZINI is a sinister reputation, who shall deny ?
It is a reputation so sinister, indeed, that he is
accused, and has been recently pronounced guilty,
of having been the instigator of GRECO, TRABUCO,
IHPERATORI, and SCAGLIONI in their late fiendish
plot to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor of the
FRENCH. MAZZINI, it is true, denies that he had
anything whatever to do with that diabolical pro-

The CHAIRMAN said that the result of their operations
had been in every respect satisfactory, as the object of the
directors had been to transact a moderate business of a good
dam, rather than an extended one involving greater risk.
The net premiums received up to Deo. 31, after the usual
deductions, amounted to £72,827. They had paid about
£27,000 for losses and averages. The whole of the preli-
minruy expenses had also been written off. Owing to the
state of the money market, their investments had been un-
usually profitable, and from this source they could th"Jfore

KENT COAST.

The half-yearly meeting was held yesterday at the Vic-
toria station, Pimlico. Dir. C. J. Hilton presided.
The report stated that the line between Herne Bay and
Ramsgate was opened on the 2d of October last, and in
consequence of the delay, the traffic was being worked at
cost price, but the agreement with the London, Chatham,
and Dover Company would come into operation on the let
March. The directors anticipated a very large traffic during
the ensuing season, especially when the extensions of the
London, Chatham, and Dover to Blackfriars and Earl-street
were opened.
The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report, and
said the delay in opening the line to Margate had arisen to
consequence of some requirements of the Board of Trade
not having been carried cut. The delay would be a loss to
the company, but he did not think the London, Chatham,
and Dover Company were to blame, as they had calculated
upon having a large return traffic from Margate in the
month of September. The directors had applied for power
to raise £llO,OOO of additional capital.
Sir C. RONEY seconded the motion, which was adopted,
and the retiring directors and auditor were re-elected.
The meeting was made special, when the directors were
,:ithorised to convert the B shares (30,250) into 6 per cent.

The Queen, accompanied by Princess Helena and
Princess Hohenlohe, went to London this morning
by a special train on the Great Western Railway,
and visited the Prince and Princess of Wales at

Her Mjesty afterwards visited the Duchess of
Cambridge and the Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg,
at St. james's Palace.

Her Majesty then drove to Buckingham Palace,
and returned to Windsor at a quarter after one

sympathies, but we know that he has studied the
aspects and the histories of the Old World and the
New, that he has had every opportunity of acquire
ing that enlightenment, that toleration and free-
dom from prejudice which form so important
a part of the qualifications of a ruler,
more especially of a busy, thinking, acting
people like our :own. The interest which
we all felt in the young Danish Princess at
the time of her arrival has only been increased by
her residence among us, and it is now considerably
heightened by the unmerited misfortunes of her
father and her country. We all feel that, however
bright the hopes and reaceftl the scenes which
surround her here, her thoughts mast instinctively
turn to the home of her early file and the people she
so long dwelt among. Even .n the pride and de-
light of the young mother, aid her confidence in
the future which awaits her litle son, should he be
spared to reach man's estate, her heart must be
touched by the terrible anxieties of her father and
saddened by the clouds whicl are closing round
him. It must be a grief to tle Princess that her
adopted country has as yet gieen no further aid to
him in the struggle, but at least she must feel con-
vinced of the warm sympathyof which all classes
and all parts of the three kingdoms feel with her
sorrow as well as her joy—shaing alike in the in-
tense eagerness with which sit watches events in
the North, and participating till more in her re-
joicings over her infant's crade,

KENT COAST.

The half-yearly meeting was held yesterday at the Vic-
toria station, Pimlico. Mr. C. J. Hilton presided.
The report stated that the line between Herne Bay and
Ramsgate was °pond on the 2d of October last, and in
consequence of the delay, the traffic was being worked at
cost price, but the agreement with the London, Chatham,
and Dover Company would come into operation on the let
March. The directors anticipated a very largo traffic during
the ensuing season, especially when the extensions of the
London, Chatham, and Dover to Blackthorn and Earl-street
were opened.
The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report, and
said the delay in opening the line to Margate had arisen to
consequence of some requirements of the Board of Trade
not having been carried out. The delay would be a loss to
the company, but he did not think the London, Chatham,
and Dover Company were to blame, as they had calculated
upon having a large return traffic from Margate in the
month of September. The directors had applied for power
to raise £llO,OOO of additional capital.
Sir C. RONEY seconded the motion, which was adopted,
and the retiring directors and auditor wore re•eleeted.
The meeting was made special, when the directors were
authorised to convert the B shares (30,250) into 6 per cont.

stock.

active remedy for oxydising the blood. and restoring vitality

LAMBETH-BRIDGE.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yester-
day at the Westminster Palace Hotel, Westminster, Vis-
count Torrington in the chair.
The report stated that the balance in hand applicable to
a dividend was £1,687 ; and the directors recommended a
dividend of £9 per cent. per annum for the six months
ending the 29th ult., payable on the 20th of March, leaving
about £350 for the next account. The capital account
showed that £44,532 had been expended.
The CHAIRMAN said he was happy to be able to propose
a dividend at the rate of 9 per cent. There were three new
works in the neighbourhood of the bridge that were likely
to bring them much traffic—namely, the south embank-
ment, which had been sanctioned by Parliament, the new
St. Thomas's Hospital now finally fixed to be erected at
Stangate, and a scheme for markets in Lambeth.
The report and statement of accounts were adopted, a
dividend at the rate of 9 per cent. per annum was declared
and the retiring directors and auditors were re-elected.

MERCANTILE MARINE INSURANCE.

Mr. %V. J. Fernie presided at the first ordinary general
meeting of this company, which was held yesterday in

Liverpool. --
The CHAIRMAN said that the result of their operations
had been in every respect satisfactory, as the object of the
directors had been to transact a moderate business of a good
class, rather than an extended one involving greater risk.
The net premiums received up to Dec. 31, after the usual
deductions, amounted to £72,827. They had paid about
£27,000 for losses and averages. The whole of the preli-
minai y expenses had also been written off. Owing to the
state of the money market, their invehtments had been un-
usually profitable, and from this source they could therefore
declare a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. on the paid•up
capital, free of income-tax. The retiring directors and
auditors were re-elected.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack

PRIVATE BUSINESS.

The Millwall Canal, Wharfs, end Graving Docks Bill,
was read a second time.

THE AUGMENTATION OF BENEFICES BILL.
The Earl of DERBY asked the noble lord on the wool-
sack for an explanation, touching the Augmentation of
Benefices Bill, under the recent act, of a point upon which
there was some misunderstanding. There appeared to be
an impression that a large sum of money, de-
rived from the sale of a number of livings, was
now in the hands of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners.
All the Commissioners had to do with the matter was to
receive the money and appropriate the interest arising from
that money to the increase of small livings.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the moneys
received under the act were devisable into two
moieties. The moiety arising from the sale of two
livings appliablo to the augmentation of small bene-
fices was paid to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners
simply as trustees, they to pay the interest at the rate cf
£3 10s. per cent. to the incumbent. The second moiety
was•also paid to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, to accu
mulate in their hands and to be invested by them. With
respect to the second moiety they were trustees both of
capital and interest. With regard to the money arising
from the sale of 100 livings, that did not go into the hands
of the commissioners unless he (the Lord Chancellor) re-
quested them to take charge of it, and then they only were
to act as trustees.
