BETTING AT MANCHESTER—Mornmy.

There was a large muster at the Subscription Rooms this
day. Bantam was chosen the favourite for the Liverpool
Steeplechase, and closed at 11 to 1 (taken freely), Emble-
matic, Martha, Serious Case, and Thomastown wore in
demand at the prices quoted; but, notwithstanding the
support awarded to Emblematic, Emblem remained steady
at 100 to B.—Speculation on the Chester Cap was of a
peculiar character; but it was evident there was money for
Change, Blackdown, Carisbrook, and Little Stag ; and, at
any advance on the prices named, Change and Carisbrook
would'have been invested on.—For the Waterloo Cup, the
nominations of Lord Lurgan, Messrs. H. Haywood, Lloyd,
Knowles, and Bland were again in demand; and 25 to 1
was taken as long as obtainable against the nominations of
the " two Campbells."—Closing prices :

interval of between 20 and 30 lengths came Deception, be-
hind whom were The Gift, Arlescott, and Lady Lovell.
Miss Emma, who was outpaced and beaten a field before
reaching the top of the hill was there pulled up. Along the
back stretch of the course The Pilot took up the running
and maintained the front position to the fence into the win-
ning field, where, over-jumping himself, he came down a
cropper, and in attempting to recover himself pitched on his
head, broke his neck, and was immediately destroyed. For-
tunately, however, Johnny Land escaped without injury.
Telegram was left with the lead after this accident, and
won by a length. Deception defeated Arlescott by two
lengths, and The Gift was beaten four lengths from Arles-
cott. Over the Sea was a bad fifth, and nothing else passed
the post. _ _

The Shakspere Tercentenary Memorial,

Yesterday at, adjourned meeting of the National
Shakspere Committee took place at the Rooms of
the Society of Arts, John-street, Adelphi, to receive
a report from the Site and Monument Committee,
and a report from the Dramatic and Entertainment
Committee; the Duke of Manchester in the chair.
Mr. HEPWORTH DIXON, one of the honorary
secretaries, having read the minutes of the last
meeting,

The Right Hon. W. COWPER, M.P., rose to move
the adoption of resolutions embodying the first-
men tioned report. Ho said he was a member of a
committee of gentlemen who were appointed to
meet and consider what they could recommend as
the most fitting memorial that could be erected to
the genius of Shakspere, and also as the most desir-
able site that could be chosen for such a purpose.
As he had the honour of being chairman of that
committee, it became his duty to propose the reso-
lutions now in his hands. The committee had pro-
ceeded in a simple and business-like way, feeling
that they had a practical duty before them, viz., to
give effect to the general wish of those who had
taken part in the arrangements, that there should
be erected in the metropolis some monumental piece
of sculpture, such as would satisfy the requirements
of a nation which desired to do honour to him who
was on the whole, perhaps, the greatest man the
country ever produced. They were the more
anxious to pay respectful attention to any sugges-
tions that might be made to them, because it was
known that of late years the public had got into the
habit of erecting statues to those great men whose
deeds they desired to commemorate. They had
adopted the principle in reference to many
distinguished personages, renowned either in
military annals or for their political achieve-
ments ; but though they had recently paid
the like tribute to Dr. Jenner, the monuments
to men who had not attained either military or po-
litical distinction were comparatively few. ,The
public feeling was now, however, coming round
very much to the adoption of the same practice
which was followed on the continent, in erecting
statues to those who had cast lustre on their coun-
try by works far removed from the deeds of mili-
tary or political heroes. Hence there was very
little doubt that the great bulk of the people were
of opinion that the best mode of commemorating
the birth of Shakspere would be by raising a statue
to him, and not only a statue on a pedestal but
covered by some form of canopy. They were not
driven to the Gothic style of architecture, or to the
correct art of classic times, but it was thought that
the best school they could adopt was that of the
time in which Shakspere lived, (Hear, hear.) It
was not for the committee to enter into minute de-
tails, as they looked forward to the time when all
the artistic talent in the country would furnish de-
signs for the monument. But, next, they had to
consider the question of the site ; and here he might
observe that as these meetings had gone on quite
long enough without coming to any practical deci-
sion, the only way in which they could carry out
their object—if it was to be carried out at all—was
by uniting together with one accord and stating
what they wished to be done. If much more time
were lost in doubts, difficulties, discussions, and
disputes, the whole affair must come to an end. But
he thought it must be admitted that the time which
had been expended had not been wasted, and the
period had now arrived when they must agree to
take decisive action. In considering the question
as to the site, they thought that on the whole the
balance of advantage would be in favour of the
Green-park, near Piccadilly. The statue could be
seen at that spot from all sides, and would certainly
be an ornament to the metropolis. The situation
was central, and a view of it could be
commanded from Piccadilly, the Green-park,
and St. James's-park. The committee did not
know at present that the site could be ob-
tained, but when the luestion should be finally de-
cided they had only to make proper application in
the ordinary way, and their application would
doubtless receive due attention. At all events, the
committee had now suggest a practical sito ; and
there was another one which had been proposed,
viz., in the neighbourhood of the Temple, on the
new embankment about to be made; but that site
had this disadvantage, that it did not exist, and was
only speeulative. In three or four years time the
embankment might exist, but at present it was not
desirable to adopt it as a site for the purposes of
this committee, as it was really under water. He
therefore moved the following report be received—
) "'The following members of the site and monument

measures be taken to endeavour to secure -te-rov •
this memorial in the Green-park, on the fitgh 1$
ground near Piccadilly.—The Right Hon. Wm.
Cowper, M.P., chairman ; the Duke of Manchester;
Sir Joseph Paxton, M.P.; Wm. Tite, M.P. ; T. S.
Donaldson, president of the Institute of British
Architects ; F. Gale Hurlstone, president of the
Society of British Artists; 'W. Hepworth Dixon,
F.S.A.; Daniel Maclise, R.A.; Clarkson Stanfield,
R.A.; David Roberts, R.A.; J. 0. Haltiwell,
F.R.S. ; George Godwin, F R,S. ; Henry Ottley."
Mr. TITE, M.P., seconded the motion, observing
that he thought the time of the committee had been
usefully employed, and it was certainly evident
that the opinion of the public had pretty well cen-
tred in the adoption of a memorial in the form now
proposed. It had been the practice in continental
cities to commemorate the virtues of dis-
inguished men by the erection of monu-
ments in large ci:ies, but at present no pub-
lic statue of the immortal Silakq:ere existed
in the metropolis of England, and it was really a
disgrace to the country that such a desideratum
should have remained so long unsupplied. The
Green Park seemed a most desirable spot for the erec-
tion of the memorial, if her Majesty would grant
them permission to use it for the purpose.
The report was then unanimously received.
Mr. GEORGE GODWIN congratulated the meeting
upon the unanimity which seemed to prevail, and
expressed himself most approvingly in regard to the
choice of the Green Park as the site for the proposed
memorial. He moved: " That the recommendations
of the Site and Monument Committee be printed
for circulation among the subscribers, and that the
following members of that committee be solicited to
act as an executive,to bring the matter fairly before
the public, appeal for subscriptions, obtain designs,
and hereafter report to this committee the steps
they have taken towards carrying into effect the
wishes of the subsc The Duke of Ilanchee-
`se, the •Pight Hon; William 02wper, M.P. , Sir
Joseph Paxton, M.P.; William 'kite, Esq
J. A. R. Beresford Hope, Esq.; D. Maclise, R.A. ;
Professor Donaldson."

Captain KNOLLYS seconded the motion, which
was carried.

➢lr. STERLING COYNE then presented the follow-
ing report from the Dramatic and Entertainment
Committee ;
" Your committee beg leave to report that in pur-
suance of instructions received from the council, they
have, in conjunction with the dramatic secretaries,
endeavoured to secure the co-operation of theatrical
managers, musical, dramatic, and other artists in

town and country, for the attainment of the
objects they have in view. These objects are
twofold :—ln the first place, to obtain pecuniary
aid to the fund of the National Shakspere Com-
mittee; and secondly, to organise an artistic
celebration of the three hundredth birthday of
Shakspere by means of representations of the great
dramatist's works in all the London theatres;
by performance of Shakspearian music on a grand
scale, with large choral effects ; and by a miscel-
laneous entertainment by popular artists at St.
James's-hall, on the 23d of April next. Your com-
mittee have the gratification of being able to report
that in a great majority of cases their appeal has
been met by expressions of the warmest sympathy,
and promises of cordial support from those gentle-
men who preside over London theatres, as well as
from leading artists connected more or less directly
with the drama. The lessees of the Theatre Royal
Drury-lane, Covent-garden, Haymarket, Princess's,
Adelphi, and Lyceum, have already promised per-
formances in aid of the fund, and since the last
general meeting of the committee Messrs. Shepherd
and Anderson, of the Surrey Theatre, and Mrs.
Swanborough, of the Strand Theatre, have also
offered an evening at their theatres. Appl:cations
have been made to the other London managers, but
replies have not been received from them. Circu-
lars have been recently forwarded to 43 of the
principal provincial managers in the United King-
dom, inviting their co-operation and assistance, and
your committee are in expectation of early and
favourable responses to their appeal. The musical
profession has generously come forward with offers
of service, and this committee are now engaged in
making arrangements under the skilful and expe-
rienced direction of Mr. Jules Benedict, conductor
of the Vocal Association, for a grand concert of
Shakspearian music, to be given on the 231
April, in some suitable hall or theatre. The com-
mittee further announce, with great pleasure, that
Mr. G. W. Martin has organised, in conjunction with
the National Choral Society, a choir of 1,000 voices,
and that he has liberally offered to give by this choir
a performance of Handel's "Messiah," on some even-
ing prior to the 231, on behalf of the fund, in addi-

tionto which Shakspearian music is already in re-
hearsal, with a view to a grand celebrative concert
by the same great body of vocalists at Exeter-
hall, on the tercentenary day. Mr. T. German Reed
has also kindly volc.nteered his professional assist-
ance in any way the committee may think it avail-
able, It is hoped that a new composition by a cele-
brated composer may be amongst the musical at-
tractions of one of these performances. The miscel-
laneous entertainment on April 23 will be supported
(circumstances permitting) by those popular artists,
Nir. and Mrs. German Reed, Mr. J. Parry, Mr. and
Mrs. Howard Paul, Mr. Arthur Sketchley, Mr.
Woodin, Mr. J. E. Carpenter, kn. Mr. German
Reed has in the most handsome manner offered

the free use of the Gallery of Illustration for
an entertainment or concert, any Saturday evening
the committee may require it. Mr. Woodin has in
like manner offered the uge of the Polygraphic Hall.
Negotiations are pending with Mr. Gye, and with

the directors of the Crystal Palace, for dramatic and
musical performances on a grand scale, and arrange-
ments are being made for mixed readings from the
works of Shakspere, by distinguished artists."

Mr. TITE then moved a vote of thanks to the
Duke of Manchester for his kindness in taking the
chair on the occasion, and his Grace havingexpressei
his acknowledgments, Mr. L. Banks said he had
another report to present, whereupon the noble chair-
man stated that the business of the meeting would
be resumed.
Mr. BANKS then brought forward the following
report of the committee for forming committees in
aid :—"The committee report that they attended on
Wednesday evening, Feb, 10, a meeting of the
representatives of certain trade societies, and that
such representatives had agreed to form a com-
mittee to co-operate with the aid committee in
carrying out a plan to celebrate the tercen-
tenary commemoration, and also to contribute
to the subscription for the proposed national
monument to Shakspere. In pursuance of the
resolution adopted at this meeting, at which Air.

report this pro-
ceeding as one of considerable importance to the
movement, being calculated to
enlist the sympathies
and assistance of the actual
working classes through-
out the kingdom, and consequently to create a truly
national demonstratian on the 23d April."
Mr. TomLINS seconded
the motion for receiving
this report, which was agreed to.
Mr. WEBSTER said he
trusted that, in the event
of there being any surplus money after payment of
the expenses attending the erection of a suitable
memorial, the claims of the Royal Dramatic College
would not be forgotten. The establishment of an
institution in the shape of Shakspere schools would
be a fitting encouragement to young pupils to take
advantage of such a system of education as would
qualify them to enoble the dramatic profession to
which they might afterwards belong.

Mr. W.MARSTON said that no scheme the com-
mittee might have in view in connexion with the
Shakspere Memorial could possibly command Inure
interest and attention than th? application of a por-
tion of the funds to some such object as Mr. Web-
ster had brought forward.
Mr. WEBSTER was about to move a resolution on
the subject, but Mr. Hepworth Dixon and Mr. Tito
promised that his suggestion should receive every
possible consideration when the time should arrive.
The business then terminated, end it is worthy of
mention that great satisfaction Wilflexi?reesed at the
feeling of harmony and unanimity which had ptc-
veiled throughout the proceedings•

PROSPECTUS.
This Company is formed for leasing or purchasing Coal-
fields in the South Wales Basin, and working the collieries
for export and home. consumption.
The great and increasing demand for South Wales coal
both at home and abroad, for steam and other purposes,
preseuts a most favourable opportunity tor commencing and
prosecuting a large and profitable business.
The Board of Trade Report shows that the exports from
South -Wales in. 1862 amounted to L,378,971 tons. The
returns for 1563 when published will show a great increase.
Nearly a fourth part of the total exports of the United
Kingdom is from the ports of South Wales. The quantity
thus expor,ted is equal to that from Newcastle and Sander-
land respectively•
The coal now being supplied to the ports of Cardiff and
Newport is -utterly inadequate in quantity to meet the pre-
sent deman 3, which is progressively increasing, and it has
become a r latter of serious consideration how the future
demand is t t. be met, seeing that the commercial marine of
the world is :rapidly changing from sailing to steam vessels,
whilst the w orking of foreign rialways, which has only
lately commit aced, will necessitate exports on a vast scale.
The great v alue of the South Wales coal for steam and
all other purpt >ses is too well known to need explanation
here, and greaw, t success is attending all well-regulated and
careful workba. gs. The present extraordinary demand has
raised the aver age price from Ss. to Ils, or 12s. per ton, the
present official prices.
The Compar ry has secured, on advantageous terms, a lease
for 50 years oi! extensive seams of coal in the barony of
Abergavenny, identical with and forming portion of those
now worked with great success by the Blaenavon Company
and other coalo venters.
The average working thickness of these seams is 30 feet.
On this props irty, which is in communication with all the
railways in the district, the Company proposes to commence
operations.
From the acts ml experience of adjacent collieries working
the same seams,, it has been proved that the coal can be
raieed and deliv. :red in trucks on the railway, including
royalty, at a cost of Os. per ton.
The carriage to Newport is Is. 95. per ton.
It is estimated that, when in full work, at least 300,000
tons per annum w ill be raised on this property alone, for
which a sale will be readily found ; and this, assuming the
profit to be only Is. per ton upon the capital to be em-
ployed on this first operation (which will not exceed
£75,000), would yield a profit of 20 per cent.
There being no reservation of any kind for promoters or
premiums for leases payable, the shareholders will obtain
the entire benefit of the employment of the capital raised,
preliminary expenses being confined to the necessary dis-
bursements.
Applications for shares in the annexed form may be
made to the brokers or bankers of the Company, or to the
Secretary in Landon ; or to Messrs. Crawahay Bailey and
Co., the Company's bankers at Newport, from any of whom
prospectuses ,can be obtained.
Where no elllotment is made the deposit will be returned
in full, and, should the number of shares allotted be less
than that applied fur, the payment in excess will be applied
towards the deposit.
Coyies of the articles of association may be seen at the
oNces of the Company.
