The Terccntenary Committee, in submitting the subscrip-
tion list to the nation, most earnestly appeal to the admirers
of Shakspeare for their aid and assistance. The Committee
rest their claims upon the ground that Stratford is not only
the birthplace of Shakspeare, but the centre of attraction to
all admirers of the great Poet's works, and that it was his
home, the town he loved, and where he lived and died.

NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE.

It appears that the directors of this company have decided
on recommending a dividend for the past half-year of 31
per cent, per annum, carrying forward a balance of £3,700.
The dividend for the corresponding half of 1862 was at the
rate of 3 per cent. per annum.

WORCESTER, BROM YARD, AND LEOMINSTER.
An adjourned special meeting of this company was held
at Malvern on Thursday, Mr. C. Hastings in the chair, to
consider a provisional agreement with the West Midland
Company for working the traffic.
The CHAIRMAN having stated the object of the meeting,
The SOLICITOR read the agreement, which was to the
effect that the West Midland or Great Western should work
the line for 521 per cent. of the receipts, and the Worcester,
Bromyard, and Leominster Company were to receive the
remaining 471 per cent. ; the West Midland were to allow
a rebate in the event of the receipts of the Worcester, Brom-
yard, and Leominster line being insufficient to pay the in-
terest and other fixed charges.
The CHAIRMAN congratulated the company on the satis•
factory character of the agreement, and moved its confirma-
tion.
Mr. KING, M.P., seconded the resolution, which was
carried, and a vote of thanks to the chairman closed the
proceedings.
