Adelphi Theatre.

This theatre closed on Saturday evening for a feW c91„17

the house, and to give it good cleansing preparatory t°
winter campaign. The performances were for the DP°-0t

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, and the means by which such over.
crowding may be prevented, was on a subject that
addresses itself to the interests of ell, and which
cAnnot be too thoroughly investigated end earnestly
dwelt upon. It seems irAdved singular that in an
enlightened age practices so injurious to health and
comfort should be persisted in, but as such is lamen-
tably the c;se it behoves us to attend with deference
to the opinions of these who are qualified to speak
on the subject with the authority of knowledge and
the benefit of experience. We aro told that Mr.
GODWIN has revisited some of the places he last
year mentioned, and found the evils then existing
Kill unabated and unremedied. 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 lees than " thirty.
and another " forty-five." Thia

The friend of Southey, the enemy of Byron, Walter
Savage Landor—poet, scholar, epigrammatist, and politi-
cian—has
died in his ninetieth year. His best poems had
been written in Italy when he was a gentleman of leisure,
a man of fortune—honoured by all who knew him. The
last productions of a genius which was at one time great :
acre publications scurrilous and discreditable. When one
remembers the brilliant successes achieved by Walter .
Savage Landor in the field of literature, it is melancholy .

To the Memory of Captain Speke.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SI'N.
Sir,—As I was highly gratified when I read the
powerful and graceful tribute to the memory of the
lamented Captain Spoke in The Suit of the 1931
inst., I beg to state, through your medium, that la
geographical friends and myself have resolved t°
bring about the erection of a suitable monuasent t 3
commemorate the exploits of the Man who, of 9"1
Europeans, first crossed central equatorial Afril
from south to north, with his companion Grant, and
who (setting abide all disputes respecting the source
of the Nile) unquestionably determined the eXi6"
once and position of the great water-basin when°
the Nile flows.
At the recent meeting of the British Assoeiati°
at Bath I suggested to the geographers and 01313;1;
logists over whom I presided that we should call i°
such a memorial, and the suggestion was warmly
applauded by a very crowded assembly.
Yesterday, in company with the gallant CaP,f
e
Grant, who had travelled from the north of Se°t..
lane, and Dr. Livingstone, I followed the remains
of my lamented friend to the family burying-Placed
of the Spekes in the church of Dowiish Wake; an
now that he has been cat off in the zenith of his ill:
trepid and brildant career, I feel confident that this
appeal will meet with a generous response.—l rea
main, sir, your obedient servant,

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 Steele and the Opinion
Nationale, it really is not amiss. We do not ask
for the reimbursement of our own fines or to be in-
demnified for our imprisonments, alas! We are
unwilling to bear so hard on the public Treasury.
But till we can get something better, the annulment
of our warnings would give us great pleasure.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

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

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 a deed of
composition which had been duly registered, and to a cer-
tain extent acted upon, but it was subsequently disputed,
and an adjudice Hon in bankruptcy was nwle, under which
some of the creditors who had signed the deed sought to
prove their debts.
Mr. Reed now contended 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 afjourncd the case.
IN RE CHAPPELL.

This bankrupt was described as of Connaught-terrace,
Edgware-road, solicitor, and this was a meeting for last
examination and discharge. The 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 Treb erne (Treherno and Wolferstor) appeared for the
asggnees, and asked for an adjournment for a month to effect
an arrangement with the creditors, who consented.
Adjourned accordingly.

MARKETS—This Day.

SMITHFIELD.—Meadow hay, £4 Os to £5 lOs ; clover,
£5 Os to £G 108 ; and straw, £1 83 to £1 12s per load,

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

SUGAR,—The market has remained very dull, and a
decline of about 61 per cwt. may be quoted ou inferior
qualities. Good grocery descriptions, however, have main-
tained previous rates.

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

RICE.—A moderate amount of business has been done,
without, however, any material change in prices.

both present and forward delivery, at about prtvious rates.

AUSTRIA.

The Pres, 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 Papecy 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 effected rapidly, and were to be fol-
lowed by a Sardician 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 as 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, hut
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."

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, and the means by which such over-
crowding may be prevented, was on a subje,ct that
addresses itself to the interests of all, and which
eanttot be too thoroughly investigated end earnestly
dwelt upon. It seems indeed singular that in an
enlightened age practices so injurious to health and
eimfort should be persisted in, but as such is lamen-
tab'y the case it behoves us to attend with deference
to the opinions of those who are qualified to speak
on the subject, 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 unrettedied. 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 lees than "thirty.
seven persons," and another" forty-five." This is
emulating the Black Hole at Calcutta in its horrors

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 fis 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 2e 6d per sharer free of
London, England, 1864-09-27

FORTH AND CLYDE.

The report of the directors states that £1,758 had been
expended on capital account during the past half year,
chiefly for land and the construction of the Dalmunach
branch, which was now nearly completed. The whole of
the Nu. 2 preference shares had been subscribed tor, and a
considerable amount had been paid up by the chairman and
directors in advance of calls, which had enabled the cons-
puny to pay off a portion of the sums due for engines, car-
riages and workshops, bearing a high rate of interest. This'.
would considerably lighten the interest account for the
future. The revenue account showed that £7,55G had been re-
ceived for the half-year ending the 31st of July, and £3,822
expended, leaving a balance of £3,734. Out of this was de-
ducted £1,288 for interest on debentures, and £B5O for
interest on bank credits and bills, leaving a balance of
£1,596. The revenue account, as compared with that of the
corresponding period of last year, showed an increase of
£3OO, and a decrease in the working expenses of £598. Out
of the clear balance of £1,596 the directors recommended
the payment of the half-year's dividend in full on the first
preference shares, at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum,
amounting to £1,391, also the payment of £5O for waggon
working and repairs, and that the balance, £155, be carried
to the next account. The rolling stock had been kept in
efficient repair during the past half-year, and the permanent
way had been properly maintainer. and was in good condi-
tion. The traffic from the 31st of July to the 10th inst.,
being six weeks of the current half-year, showed an increase
of £230 as compared with the corresponding perioa of last
year, and the directors believed that with careful manage-
ment, and the development of the traffic from all sources
that the proprietors might look forward to better prospects
in future.

DUMFRIES AND LOCKEItBIE.
The report of the directors states that the revenue for the
six months ending 31st July last amounted to £6,183, of
which the sum of £4,313 was traffic receipts. The expendi•
ture, including £1,435 for working expenses, had been
£4133, leaving a balance of £2,054, out of which the direc-
tors recommend a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent., leav-
ing a balance of £2bl.
