Adelphi Theatre.

This theatre closed on Saturday evening for a few days'
on purpose, as we may suppose, to renovate the interior ol
the house, anti to give it good cleansing preparatory to the
winter campaign. The performances were for the benefit
of Mr Benjamin 'Webster, who sustained his original par
of Giles Fairland, in " Who's your Friend ? or, The Quail*
bury Fete"—a very admirable petite comedy written by Mr
J. It. Planche, and produced at the Haymarket Theatre
some years since, when Mr 'Webster was manager. GO
Fairland is altogether a strikingly natural and masterly
performance, and was never sustained by the actor
greater power and effect than on Saturday evening'
In response to an enthusiastic call, Mr. Benjamin Webster
came forward, and thus addressed the audience :—',.Ladie6
and Gentlemen,—This being the last night of the season,
' Custom exacts, and who denies her sway,' a manager to
address a few words at parting. '1 herefore, I must drop
my bucolic character of Giles Fairland, and become plain
Benjamin Webster—(cheer:)—though I would rather re'
fain the assuurpt:on, viewing the charming faces around
me, and excliim, ' Call I Baron I' if with the probable
sweet advantages. (Loud cheers.) My seasons I,o°
been so many as the caterer for your amusement'
that they show like the lino of kings shown to ISlac..
beth—and I trust that this last will bear t'
glass that shows me many more—(cheers)—and
that I, with him (Macbeth), may cry, ' Now, I see'
'tis true.' The past season has not only been most popultir,'
with 'Leah' and other successful novelties and esteems
revivals, but has been substantially profitable—thanks to
the constant patronage of the public, to whom I feel m°l4
grateful. For the future—though I, may enable you
to
look into the womb of time—l cannot say which seed
grow in public favour, or which will not ; but, be assured,
I shall endeavour to deserve success. Ile first offering on
Monday week, the 3d of October, will be an Irish one'

KIRKCUDBRIGHT.

The half-yearly meeting was held on Friday, Mr MT ul-
loch in the chair.
The report stated that during the five months the line
had been open the revenue amounted to £1,407, showing a
balance over expenditure of £737, out of which the direc-
tors recommended no dividend. The working expenses had
been £560. . _

The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, said
the passenger traffic had fully come up to expectation, and
the Glasgow and South-Western Company were taking
measures to develops the goods traffic, which was not so
much as had been anticipated. It was proposed to extend
the line to the harbour of Kirkcudbright, which would ma-
terially increase the traffic.

Dr Cowan, in seconding the motion, said the directors
were endeavouring to secure a regular traffic between Liver-
pool and Dumfries by way of Kirkcudbright, and had no
doubt they would ultimately succeed in doing so.
The report was adopted, and the directors were autho-
rised to apply to Parliament for power to use the Castle
Douglas station without running over the Portpatrick Rail-
way.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr Commissioner Holroyd.)
IN RE TUENHANI.

This bankrupt was described as of the Edgware-road,
licensed victualler. The matter came before his honour on
reference from the registrar, as to the effect of w deed of
composition which had been duly registered, and to a cer-
tain extent acted upon, but it was subsequently disputed,
and an adjudication in bankruptcy was made, under which
some of the creditors who had signed the deed sought to
prove their debts.
Mr. Reed now con'ended that the deed did not represent
the whole of the creditors either in number or value, as
several debts had been omitted, under these circumstances
the deed was invalid and inoperative.
Mr Curtis urged, on the contrary, all the requirements
of the act had been complied with, and the time had now
gone by to dispute it.

Mr Reed proposed to call the bankrupt and examine him
as to the amount of credit, but

His Honour ultimately acjourned the case.
IN RE CIIAPPELL.

This bankrupt was described as of Connaught-terrace,
Edgware-road, solicitor, and this was a meeting for last
examination and discharge. Tho debts are stated at about
£1,500, and the bankrupt attributes his failure to that of a
person named Lockwood of the Edgware-road.
Mr Treherne (Treherne and Wollerston) appeared for the
assignees, and asked for an adjournment for a month to effect
an arrangement with the creditors, who consented.
Adjourned accordingly,

MARKETS—This Day.

HAY MARKETS.

SMITHFIELD.—Meadow hay' £4 Os to £5 lOs ; clover,
£5 03 to £6 108 ; and straw, £1 88 to £1 123 per load,
Trade slow.

CUMRERLAND.—Meadow hay, £4 to £5 15s ; clover, £5
to £6 15s 01 ; and straw, £1 8s to £1 12s per load. A
moderate demand.

WHITECHAPEL,—Meadow hay, £4 to £5 15s ; clover, £5
to £5 10s; and straw, £1 8s to £1 12s per load. Trade
steady.

COLONIAL.

TEA,--Business has been very inactive, and the few deal-
ings reported in China descriptions have been abut pre-
vious rates. A small quantity of Indian is announced for
public sale to-day.

SUGAR.—The market has remained very dull, and a
decline of about Gd per cwt. may be quoted on inferior
qualities. Good grocery descriptions, however, have main-
tained previous rates.

COFFEE, —There has been a f air inquiry for colonial
descriptions, but the large quantity on offer has tended to
deprels prices.

RICE.—A moderate amount of business has been done,
without, however, any material change in prices.
TALLOW .—A strong business has been transacted for
both present and forward delivery, at about prtvious rates.
P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted 42s 3d ; last three months,
43s 3d; and JanuAry to March, 44s 3d per cwt.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at
Aberdeen on Thursday, Mr Stirling in the chair.
The report, an abstract of which appeared the The Sun,
was taken as read.
The CHAIRMAN said he had very great pleasure in moving
the adoption of the report, because he mght safely say it
was a satisfactory one, and this notwithstanding that they
had suffered a large loss by the opening of the Highland
line from Perth to Inverness. Nevertheless, owing to the
prosperity of the district they were able to show an increase
in the receipts of about £3,000, while the working expenses
were only £1,039 more than for the corresponding half of last
year. £2,400 had been expended in the renewal of tires
alone—an expenditure which he was sure the shareholders
would approve. Upon the general expenses there had been
a reduction of upwards of £l,OOO. It was very satisfactory
for the directors to be able to offer the shareholders an in-
creased dividend upon the old Aberdeen stock and on the
Scottish Midland stock, and to maintain the dividend upon
the Dundee and Arbroath stock. He should feel extremely
disappointed if the directors should hereafter be obliged to
propose a smaller dividend than that now proposed. (Hear.)
The report was then adopted, and the dividends recom-
mended therein were declared, on the Scottish Midland
stock, at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum—on the Aber-
deen stocks, at the rate of 3 per cent,, (3 per cent., and 7
per cent. per annum en the preference shares, and on the
Aberdeen Ordinary Capital Stock at the rate of 1 rcr cent.
per annum—on the Scottish North-Eastern Preference
Stock, at the rate of 41 per cent. per annum—on the Dun-
dee and Arbroath Preferential Stock at the rate of 5 per
cent. per annum—and on the Dundee and Arbroath Ordi-
nary Stock at the rate of 7i per cent. per annum.
Messrs. G. Birnie, A. Davidson, and G. Thompson, jun ,
were re-elected directors of the company.

The meeting was then made special, and it was agreed
to purchase a short line of five miles in length to Carmyllie
Quarries for £12,000, rails and plants included, from Lord
Dalhousie. It was also agreed to subscribe £25,000 to the
capital of Crieff and Islethven Junction line.
A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors concluded
the proceedings.

THE CALCUrTA MARKETS, Aua. 22.

The express portion of the English mails, via Bombay, to
the 18th of July, arrived in Calcutta on the evening of the
15th inst, and the heavier part on the morning of the 20th.
The screw steamer Mooltan, with a week's later dates,
arrived at Gale on the 18th, and will probably reach us
about the 26th. Our latest telegraph datta from London
are to tho 2d August.
Produco Market—Very little doing since our last, and
prices, if anything, lower,

Import Market—The market still continues dull, awl
quotations remain nominal. Importers, however, con inue
to hold stocks rather than sell at a decline.

Joint-Stock Shares— Since our last report there has been
no alteration in the share market, and the rates quoted must
be considered nominal. There is a total cessation of busi-
ness now, as there was during the last crisis, but happily
from no more serious cause than the state of the money
market. Holders aro firm, and are not forced to sell. The
share marksst is in a healthy state.
Government Securities, after receding still further, have
recovered a little, and there appears to be more disposition
to buy within the last two days. Five-and-a-half, which
were sold as low as 107, close at 109 to 1091. Fives may be
quoted at 1011, and Fours 911 to 92.
Money Market.—The money market is still tightening.
The pressure is felt more particularly in the bazaar, where
discount has advanced to 12 per cent. Comparing the Bank
of Bengal's last statement with that of the previous week,
there appears a diminution of 39 lacks in the reserve at the
head office, This appears to have been caused chiefly by an
increased demand for loans on Government securities, but,
from whatever cause it has arisen, it fully justified the Di-
rectors in raising their rates two per cent. all round on the
13th inst.

Exchange has still an upward tendonoy, though rates are
exceptionally high or the season.

Freights—Freights have undergone very little change
during the week, but transactions have been very limited.

Lord Rosehill, son of the Earl and Countess of
Noithesk, is expected home shortly from Canada, where
he has been serving with the Scots Fusilier Guards.

CRYSTAL PALACE.—Mr. Jackson Mines, the
champion skater of America, is now performing at
the Crystal Palace, and yesterday drew a goodly number
to witness his very gracifal performance. He performs on
a skate with three or four india-rubber wheels at the bot-
tom, and goes through a series of dances. He moves
with great rapidity, and, indeed, his performance is one of
the prettiest imaginable. Wait Blondiu, the child rope-
walker, also added to the amusements by his astonishing
gymastic exercises on the low rope, and they are both an-
nounced daily up to Friday,

LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPT. 27, 1864.

The paper which Mr. GEORGE GODWIN read at
the Social Science Congress, on the influence on
health of the overcrowding of dwelling-houses and
workshops:, anti the means by which such over.
crowding may be prevented, was on a subject that
addresses itself to the interests of all, and which
cinnot be too Voroughly investigated and earnestly
dwelt upon. It seems indeed singular that in an
enlightened age practices so injurious to health and
c)infort should be persisted in, but as such is lamen-
tably the else it behoves us to attend with deference
to the opinions of those who are qualified to speak
on the subj;:ct, with the authority of knowledge and
the benefit of experience. We are told that Mr.
GoDwIN has revisited some of the places he last
year mentioned, and found
the evils then existing
still unabated and nnrereedied. In some of the
houses in the courts of Drury-lane the state of
things is dreadful to contemplate. One house
con.
tained in its eight rooms no less than " thirty.
seven persons," and another " forty•five." This

AUSTRIA.

The Press of Vienna, speaking of the convention
between France and Italy, says :—" The with-
drawal of the French troops from Rome within a
delay of two years would be a fact of secondary
importance if the Cabinet of the Tuileries persisted
in following the track of its past and present
policy. Has France in view to maintain the tem-
poral power of the Pope ? She need only leave at
Civita Vecchia a small body of troops and a squad-
ron which could in a moment go to the assistance
of the Papacy if menaced. No one imagines in
Paris that Victor Emmanuel can have Rome against
the will of France, either by main force or through
the stratagem of a revolution organised at Rome.
France will morally occupy the Papal capital as
long as she chooses, and she may therefore dispense
with doing so militarily. If the withdrawal of the
troops were efftcted rap:dly, and were to be fol-
lowed by a Sardinian invasion, the clerical party,
which is very powerful in France, would render
the Government responsible for the destruction of
the. Papacy, and regard Victor Emmanuel 88 the
instrument used in effecting that act. But, the
French garrison having once quitted, and the
Papal Government still maintaining itself for a
certain time, a popular rising might overthrow it
from one day to another. We have not the
slightest doubt as to the intention of the Empe-
ror Napoleon to preserve Rome to the Pope, but
only on conditions which will be scarcely refused
to him. From this time France is mistress in
Rome. When Baron de Bach returns there he will
only have to comment on that fact with as many
details as he will think proper,"

EGYPTIAN COMMERCIAL TRADING.

The directors of this company in their report state that
for the 12 months ending the 30th June last there was a
profit of £17,459, of which £29,632 was made up to the 30th
April. Of the £47,459, an interim dividend of 5s 3d per
share, declared at the meeting on the 11th July, had ab-
sorbed £26,250, which, with £2,900 placed on the reserve
fund, left £18,309 to be dealt with. After placing the addi-
tional sum of £1,846 to the reserve fund, the directors re-
commended a further dividend of 2s 6d per share, free of
London, England, 1864-09-27

KIRKCUDBRIGHT.

The half-yearly meeting was held on Friday, Mr Weal.
loch in the chair.

The report stated that during the five months the line
had been open the revenue amounted to £1,407, showing a
balance over expenditure of £737, out of which the direc-
tors recommended no dividend. The working expenses had
been £560.

The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, slid
the passenger traffic had fully come up to expectation, and
the Glasgow and South-Western Company were tailing
measures to develope the goods traffic, which was not so
much as had been anticipated. It was proposed to extend
the line to the harbour of Kirkcudbright, which would ma-
terially increase the traffic.

Dr Cowan, in seconding the motion, said the directors
were endeavouring to secure a regular traffic between Liver-
pool and Dumfries by way of Kirkcudbright, and had no
doubt they would ultimately succeed in doing so.
The report was adopted, and the directors were autho-
rised to apply to Parliament for power to use the Castle
Douglas station without running over the Portpatriok Rail-
way.

FRANCE.

The Gazette de France, referring to the intelli-
gence communicated from Madrid that the fines
imposed on the press for some years are to be re-
turned, observes :—This is certainly the first time
that a decree of amnesty for the press has received
a retrospective interpretation so broad and so libe•
ral. We most sincerely congratulate our Spanish
contemporaries on the fact. For a retrograde
Ministry, assailed by the Steck and the Opinion
Nationale, it really is not amiss. We do not ask
for the reimbursement of our own fines or to he in-
demnified for nur imprisonments, alas! We are
unwilling to bear so hard on the public Treasury.
But till we can get something betttr, the annulment
of our warnings would give us great pleasure.
