WEST FLANDERS.

The directors state in their report that the re-
ceipts for the six months ending the 3011 of June
last exceeded those for the corresponding period of
1863 by £2,611. The sum available for dividend
was £5,961, out of which the directors proposed to
declare a dividend of 4s. per share, leaving a balance
of £609. The defini►ive shares would very shortly
be ready, and by their issue the directors expected
to discover with accuracy how many shares might
have been issued in excess of the number autho-
rised by statute. Mr. Hutt, the accountant, re-
ported that the number so issued might amount
possibly to 249. The directors had already pur-
chased and cancelled 101 shares, leaving 148 which
might possibly have to be purchased hereafter.
Those shares, with the sum of £1,655 which still
remained to be arranged in the books, represented
the extreme limits of the company's possible liabi-
lities, to meet which the directors held 278 prefe-
rence shares, which they had not yet thought it
prudent to dispose of. The convention between the
West Flanders Company and the Societe do Tubize
had received the Royal assent, and would come
into operation on the Ist of January next. The
directors had received estimates for the construe-

tion of the proposed extension lines from Routers to
Ypres and from Poperinghe to Hazebrouck, which
had been duly referred to the company's engineer
to report upon. The capital account showed that
£599,093 had been expended. The traffic account
for the half-year ending the 30th of Stine showed
that £27,420 had been received, and £17,098 ex-
pended, leaving a balance of £10,322.

MARK-LANE.

The country markets, held on Saturday, were very quiet,
both for red and white qualities of English wheat. In prices
however no change took place. Fine malting barley ruled
firm ; but in other kinds of spring corn as well as in flour,
sales progressed slowly at previous quotations.
Advices from New York state that the business doing in
wheat and flour for export was very small. The corn trade
on the continent rules quiet, at late rates.
Very moderate supplies of English grain were received up
to our market last week. The imports from abroad amounted
to 22,689 quarters of wheat ; 12,245 barley ; 15,358 oats ;
550 rye; 2,728 beans ; 12,961 linseed ; 11,476 rapeseed ;
5,500 ; 28 sundry seeds ; 305 sacks and 17,677 bar-
rels of flour. _ _

Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home-
grown wheat were very moderate, but the condition of the
produce was good. The trade, however, ruled far from
active, nevertheless last Monday's prices were well sup-
ported. Some of the factors held fine produce for rather
more money, but they,failed in realising any advance, com-
pared with Monday last.
With most descriptions of foreight wheat the market was
well supplied. The amount of business transacted was very
moderate, but there was no pressure on the market, and
last Monday's priced were realised in all instances.
Floating cargoes of grain moved cff slowly. Fine wheat,
afiaat, was held at very full prices, and other articles
changed hands at about previous quotations.
There was a full average supply of barley on the stands.
Fine malting qualities were scarce, and they changed
hands at fully late rates. For secondary and inferior pro-
duce the trade was in a sluggish state, at irregular cur-
rencies.
The demand for malt ruled heavily, at about previous
rates.

The supply of oats on sale was tolerably large. Buyers
having purchased freely of late, the demand was by nu
means active. However, a fair business was transacted,
and prices ruled firm.
Beans wero in but moderate supply, yet the trade was
slow, at the late decline in the quotations.
The supply of peas on sale was small. The trade, how-
ever, exhibited less activity, yet prices ruled stationary.
For most descriptions of flour there was a fair demand,
and late prices were supported.

WEST FLANDERS,

The directors state in their report that the re-
ceipts for the six months ending the 30:h of June
last exceeded those for the corresponding period of
1863 by .£2,611. The sum available for dividend
was £5,961, oat of which the directors proposed to
declare a dividend of 4s. per share, leaving a balance
of £609. The defiuiiive shares would very shortly
be ready, and by their issue the directors expected
to discover with accuracy how many shares might
have been issued in excess of the number autho..
tided by statute. Mr. Hutt, the accountant, re-
ported that the number so issued might amount
possibly to 249. The directors had already pur-
chased and cancelled 101 shares, leaving 148 which
might possibly have to be purchased hereafter.
Those shares, with the sum of £1,665 which still
remained to be arranged in the books, represented
the extreme limits of the company's possible liabi-
lities, to meet which the directors held 278 prefe-
rence shares, which they had not yet thought it
prudent to dispose of. The convention between the
West Flanders Company and the Societe de Tubize
had received the Royal assent, and would come
into operation on the Ist of January next. The
directors had received estimates for the construc-
tion of the proposed extension lines from Roulers to
Ypres and from Poperinghe to Hazebrouck, which

results—Whenever the blood is foul, the stomach disordered
or the bowels irregular, these pills prove to be infallible Or

Holloway's pills strengthen the stomach, prevent bilious'

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

The country markets, held on Saturday, were very quiet,
both for red and white qualities of English wheat. In prices
however no change took place. Fins malting barley ruled
firm ; but in other kinds of spring corn as well as in flour,
sales progressed slowly at previous quotations.
Advices from New York state that the business doing in
wheat and flour for export was very small. The corn trade
on the continent rules quiet, at late rates.
Very moderate supplies of English grain were received up
to our market last week. The imports from abroad amounted
to 22,689 quarters of wheat ; 12,245 barley ; 15,358 oats ;
550 rye ; 2,728 beans ; 12,961 linseed ; 11,476 ra; oseed ;
6,500 maim.; 28 sundry seeds; 305 sacks and 17,677 bar-
rels of flour.

Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home-
grown wheat were very moderate, but the condition of the
produce was good. The trade, however, ruled far from
t.ctivc, nevertheless last Monday's prices were well sup-
ported. Some of the factors held fine produce fur rather
more money, but they.failect in realising any advance, com-
pared with Monday last.
With most descriptions of foreight wheat the market was
well supplied. The amount of business transacted was very
moderate, but there was no pressure on the market, and
last Monday's priced were realised in all instances.
Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly. Fine wheat,
afloat, was held at very full prices. and other articles
changed hands at about previous quotations.
There was a full average supply of barley on the stands.
Fine malting qualities were scarce, and they changed
hands at fully late rates. For secondary and inferior pro-
duce the trade was in a sluggish state, at irregular cur-
rencies.

The demand for malt ruled heavily, at about previous

The supply of oats on sale was tolerably large. Buyers
having purchased freely of late, the demand was by nu
means active. However, a fair business was transacted,
and prices ruled firm.
Beans were in but moderate supply, yet the trade was
slow, at the late decline in the quotations.
The supply of peas on sale was small. The trade, how-
ever, exhibited less activity, yet prices ruled stationary,
For most descriptions of flour there was a fair demand,
and late prices were supported.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

Lord Byron's magniicent choral tragedy et
" Manfred" was revived last night to the intense
gratification of a very crowded audience. 311."
Phelps, of course, resumed his impersonation of this
Count, and, as it appeared to us, with more thrill
his usual effect. His feeling seemed deeper, hie
pathetic touches more tender, and his declarnatie°
as fine as ever, The whole play, indeed, was Bci.
mirably executed. The singing witches were cheri33:
ingly enunciated by Miss Poole, Miss Cicely Not;i'
and Mr. Swift. Miss Atkiuson's fine recitation an
statuesque personation of Clotho added much to the
effect, as did Mr. Rayner's judicious perfartusoB
of the Chamois Hunter. Previous to the tragedy use
had another revival, that of a farce originally writ
ci
ten for Miss Poole, while she was very young, and
during the time she was a pupil of the late gifle
musician who had the direction of the lyric de;
partment at the two national theatres in tll
,
days of the lamented Madame Malibran,
Mr. J. T. Harris. In those days the piece was cage t
" Od and Young," and many an old playgoer Mile
remember the spirited representation Miss Y°°
1B
gave the drummer boy, Hector Mowbray,
citadel
the four characters assumed, as he stormed the 010
in his uncle's drawing-room. In the present instal:o
the characters have been slightly altered, and
_,
have now four characters—a spoiled boy, a glut
Et fop, and a model boy, who dances and singsre,
very cleverly impersonated by Master Percy Reseiliia
the little actor who made so great a part of the 'llO
Man of the Sea in the pantomime of " Sinbaa'ttis
Sailor." The concluding farce, entitled "The
Alabama," was also a reproduction, with eertsoo
alterations to suit the present time, of a foci
originally written for Mr. Compton, and perfor°4o
at the Lyceum Theatre, under the title of "
Spitfire." The chief source of fan consists it t
he
terrors of an old ship chandler who goes to 10°
after a ward who has run away and a creditor, ello
who, finding a captain's uniform, puts it on, alleifcs
hurried on board the Alabama and mistaken
the captain. The extravagance of his terror creatt,
much laughter, and there is a bustle in the preps
ration for action which gives animation to itt/
piece, which though very exaggerated, is perfeed
successful. Mr. Bel core is the chief comedian) 11

BONNET'S SILKS a LYON.—Every Article of
commerce takes its title either from the inventor or
'manufacturer, and the more perfect the production the
grater is the credit which attaches to the originator.
BONNET'S SILKS are said to be incapable of identifica-
tion in England ; but the fallacy of such an assertion is ex-
pos by the very trade mark of the firm, as exhibited by
Messrs. JAY, of Regent-street.
The following', interwoven mark may be seen at the end
of each piece:—" Manufacture de C. J. Bonnet et Cie., it Lyon
eta Injurieux." Wear guaranteed.
