ST. KATHERINE DOCKS.

Thehalf-yearly meeting of the proprietors of the above
docks was held yesterday ; Mr. Alderman Thompson
was in the chair. The advertisement by which the meet-
ing bad been convened having been read, the report of
the directors was submitted.
The CHAIRMAN said if they were to look into the ac-
counts and the report he thought they would find them
very satisfactory. The net earnings for the past half-
year were 47,000/, If they adopted the recommendation
of the court of directors, and declared a dividend of 2
per cent. for the half-year, they would be enabled to carry
over a balance of 9,0001., making the reserve fund
amount to about 39,0001. The stock on hand was re-
duced 4,000 tons from last year, whilst there had been a
greater landing of 5,000 tons. The net earnings of the
past half-year amounted to 21. 9s. 0/d. per cent. whilst in
the corresponding half of 1852 the earnings amounted to
only 21. ss. per cent. As regarded their future pros-
pects, he was not inclined to take a gloomy view ; but
looking at the number of ships to come in, he saw no
reason why the current half-year should not be as good as
the last. The total earnings on the past year amounted
to 41. 15s. per cent. The increase in their
business was shown by the circumstance that in the
half-year just completed the net income was 47,5651.,
whilst in the corresponding half of 1852 it amounted to
45,130/. ; and in 1851, the year of the Exhibition, when
there was great commercial activity, 42,1361.. The
committee appointed to inquire into the management
had recently renewed their inquiries, and they found
that hydraulic machinery was successfully used in many
other docks, and effected a great economy in human
labour—a circumstance of great importance when every
kind of labour was rising in value. The directors had
adopted their views, and they found the expenditure would
amount to 30,0001., which, from all the information they
had received, they had every reason to believe would be
saved by the economy it would introduce into
i the work-
ing in 6 years. The chairman then alluded, n terms of
regret, to the retirement of Sir John Hall from the
secretaryship, and stated that the directors b ad considered
it but an act of justice to allow him to retire with a pen.
sion of 1,2001. per annum, from the superannuation fund.
After a vote of thanks to Sir John Hall and the chair-
man, the meeting broke up.

FOREIGN COMMERCIAL AFFAIRS.

The quotation of gold a Paris is about at par (ac-
cording to the last tariff), which, at the English Mint
price of 3/. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives
an exchange of 25.17 ; and, the exchange at Paris on
London at short being 25.021, it follows that gold is
about 0.58 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London.
By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4261
per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s.
101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of
13.51 ; and, the exchange at Hamburgh on London at
short being 13.31, it follows that gold is 1.05 per cent.
dearer in Hamburg than in London.
The course of exchange at Ne w York on London for
bills at 60 days' sight is 110 per cent., and, the par of
exchange between England and America being 109
23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally
charges of transport, the present rate
0.42 per cent. in favour of England ; and, after making
allowance for
leaves a trifling profit on the importation of gold from
the United States.
Intelligence has been received from Naples that by a
decree dated the 11th instant, the King has prohibited
the exportation of wheat, oats, and barley from the
kingdom of the Two Sicilies. The exportation of Indian
corn, beans, and other pulse, had been previously
stopped, and this further measure has now been adopted
in consequence of the stocks of old grain held in the
country and the uncertainty that prevails with regard to
the present crops.
The advices from Paris mention that, owing to recent
arrivals of large quantities of gold, the Mint has extended
the period of its redelivery in the shape of coin to 42
days. Under existing circumstances there is a prospect
of a cessation of the remittances from this country that
have recently been going forward to both France and

Germany.
The advices from St. Petersburgh received are to the
13th of July. The tallow-market was unaltered, freights
unprecedentedly high, and the rate of exchange 38i, to
The stock-market seemed to show an absence of
political anxiety, the report with regard to it being
that there was nothing doing from want of sellers.
From Odessa the letters are to the Bth, and confidence
in the maintenance of peace was then rapidly gaining
ground, A very large business had been transacted in
wheat at rather higher prices, the sales during the
week having been equal to 76,000 quarteh. The
weather was hijhly favourable to the crops, which
were certain to be abundant, except in some parts of the
country where rain had been too long de-ferred. Com-
plaints continue of a want of shipping.

ZULU KAFIRS.—Her Royal Highness the Duchess of
Cambridge, accompanied by H.R.H. the Princess Mary,
the Grand Duke and Duchess of Mecklenburgh Strelitz,
honoured the exhibition given by the Zulu Kafirs, at the
St. George's Gallery, yesterday, with their presence.
There were also present, the Duchess of Inverness, the
Duke of Cleveland, Hon. Miss Foley, Hon. Miss Gage,
and several other members of the aristocracy.

MARRIAGES IN RIGS LIFE.

The marriage of the Lady Augusta Hare, eldest
daughter of the Earl and Countess Listowel, with Cap-
tain Granville Leveson Proby, second son of Admiral
the Hon. Granville Leveson Proby, and nephew of the
Earl of Carysfort, took place yesterday at St. George's
Church, Hanover-square, in the presence of a distin-
guished circle of the friends of both noble families.

_ .
The bride arrived, with her noble mother, at a quarter
to 12 o'clock. Her ladyship wore a handsome white
lace dress, with a veil of the same materiel, and looked
exceedingly beautiful. She was attended to the altar
by a train of nine bridesmaids, all similarly attired.
These young ladies were—the Ladies Emily, Sophia,
Adela, and Eleanor Hare, sisters of the bride ; Miss
Howard, Miss Baring, Miss Hamilton, and the Misses
Proby (2), sisters of the bridegroom.
The religious rite was impressively performed by the
Hon. and Rev. Douglas Gordon. The bride was given
away by her noble father.

After the ceremony, the Countess of Listowel gave a
breakfast at Kingston-house, at which all the parties
present at the church assembled. During the dejetiner,
the band of the 2d Life Guards attended, and played a
variety of favourite music upon the lawn in the garden.
Early in the afternoon, the bride and bridegroom left
town for Holme Wood, one of the seats of the Proby
family, in the county of Huntingdon.
The members of the Marquis of Anglesey's family
were prevented beinc, present at the ceremony, owing to
the recent demise of Lady Anglesey.

The nuptials of the Hon. Lavinia Stapleton, sister to
Lord Beaumont, with Alexander Matheson, Esq., M.P.
for Inverness, and brother of Sir James Matheson, were
also celebrated yesterday in the church of St. George's,
Hanover-square, in the presence of a distinguished circle
of the nobility.

Intelligence has been received from Naples that by a

the exportation of wheat, oats, and barley from the
kingdom of the Two Sicilies. The exportation of Indian
corn, beans, and other pulse, had been previously
stopped, and this further measure has now been adopted
in consequence of the stocks of old grain held in the
country and the uncertainty that prelails with regard to
the present crops.
The advices from Paris mention that, owing to recent
arrivals of large quantities of gold, the Mint has extended
the period of its redelivery in the shape of coin to 42
days. Under existing circumstancesithere is a prospect
of a cessation of the remittances from this country that
have recently been going forward to both France and

Germany. -
The advices from St. Petersburgh received are to the
13th of July. The tallow-market was unaltered, freights
unprecedentedly high, and the rate of exchange 38i to
g. The stock-market seemed to show an absence of
political anxiety, the report with regard to it being
that there was nothing doing from want of sellers.
From Odessa the letters are to the Bth, and confidence

in the maintenance of peace was then rapidly gaining
ground, A very large business had been transacted in
wheat at rather higher prices, the sales during the
week having been equal to 76,000 quarters. The
weather was hirlily favourable to the crops, which
were certain to be abundant, except in some parts of the
country where rain had been too long deferred. Com-
plaints continue of a want of shipping.

Cambridge, accompanied by H.R.H. the Princess Mary,

MADRAS.

The first half-yearly meeting of this company was held
yesterday, at the offices, New Broad-street—Colonel D.
Sim in the chair.

The report, an abstract of which has appeared in The
Sun, was read.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
said he believed it contained every important point re-
lating to the undertaking.
In reply to a question, it was stated that the 9th of
June last was the day appointed for cutting the first sod
on the line, at a place situate about one mile and a half
from the powder mills at Madras, and they had no
adopted, and the pro-
hanks to the chairman.

LONDONDERRY AND COLERAINE.
The remaining section of this company's line from
Newtownlimivady to Coleraine was inspected on Thurs-
day last, and approved by Capt. Wynne, the Govern-
ment inspector. On Friday the directors made a trial
trip over the line, which proved to be in a satisfactory
state from Londonderry to Coleraine. The inhabitants
of the latter place unanimously resolved to celebrate the
event by giving a public entertainment in the Town-hall
to the directors engineers, contractors, solicitors, secre-
tary, and other officers of the company. The town
was decorated with flags and banners, and every
means was adopted to testify the universal gratifica-
tion felt by the people at the event of having the
facilities of railway communication. An excursion
train was placed at the disposal of the town committee,
and about 300 of the inhabitants were conveyed to
Downhill and Magilligan and back to Coleraine. On
the arrival of the train a sumptuous entertainment was
prepared at the Town-hall, to which about 150 persons
sat down. Several loyal and appropriate toasts were
drunk and responded to, and everything passed off in
the most cordial and harmonious manner.

THE POTATO BLIGHT.—The Cork Examiner has the
following paragraph :—" A very cautious and reliable
correspondent informs us that the potato disease has
appeared in the vicinity of Skibhereen—as yet, however,
he adds, to no great extent."

THE WAGES-MOVEMENT.—The workpeople at Glossop
and in that neighbourhood have turned out for an ad-
vance of wages, and from accounts received in Man-
enester yesterday afternoon by electric telegraph, it is
apprehended that they will be led to the commission of
some acts of violence, should the masters refuse to
grant them what they require at once.
REPRESENTATION OF CORK. The Cork Examiner
states, that Dr. Lyons, one of the most popular of the
citizens of Cork, has been pressed very strongly to come
forward as a candidate for the vacancy created by the
appointment conferred on Mr. Sergeant Murphy, but
that he has resisted every entreaty on the subject. No
popular candidate has yet offered himself.

of the poor of Whitechapel and other parts of Lon-
don. It is to be called " the Boys' Refuge,"
and is intended for numerous homeless, idle wan-
derers from 7 to 15 years of age, who have
scarcely a resource but vice and crime. It is
to be a residence and industrial school for
30 boys at present, with considerable capability
for enlargement. We do not know the powers
of the Woods and Forests, but we think that,
instead of charging one thousand guineas
for land for such a purpose, they might
gladly have given it for such a truly national object,
holding, of course, a reversionary daimon it, should
it cease to be used as the " Boys' Refuge." With
the ragged schools already in existence, and work-
ing in places so satisfactorily, there are now, there-
fore, two voluntary institutions in action, and two
more likely soon to be placed on a legal footing,
all directed to the supremely important object of
education, and industriously training the danger-
ous class of children. This is assuredly the grand
educational desideratum. The other classes are
sure now to educate themselves ; they need but
one stimulus ; and it is to be hoped that Mr.
GLADSTONE and Lord JoHN RUSSELL will give up
their aversion to the people's acquisition of politi-
cal knowledge—that they will no longer place the
artisan of England at a disadvantage with the
mechanic and labourer of New York, but will soon
permit every Englishman, in the bosom of his
family, and far from the fatal ale-house, to read,
at his leisure, his Untaxed Daily Paper. Few,
indeed, in that case, will be found unable to read.

ITALY.

The Semaphore of Marseilles of the 16th says :
" The general subject of conversation here yester-
day was a private despatch received by electric
telegraph from Genoa by one of our first commercial
houses announcing that the King of Naples had
just prohibited the exportation of corn from his
States. This news is said to have been brought to
Genoa by a packet which had arrived direct from
Naples. We wait with importance for the arrival
of a packet in our port to give us details on a mea-
sure the gravity of which cannot be misunderstood.
This news has produced tonsiderable sensation in
the corn trade, and led to numerous operations in
the article."
A letter from Ferrara, in the Corriere Mercan-
tile of Genoa, states that on the 2d the police en-
tered the palace of Count Pindemonte Bonacossa,
at Ferrara, and in the absence of the owner (the
family being at La Boschetta, a villa of theirs on
on the Venetian territory), effected a diligent
search, breaking open every drawer in the house,
but without any result. On the following day a
new search was effected at La Boschetta, with no
better success. Nevertheless Count Bonacossa, was
arrested and taken to Ferrara, where his own
palace was assigned to him as a prison until
further orders.

The Giornale di Roma gives an account of a
strange mistake committed by the French troops
there on the Bth inst., when Monsignor George
Talbot de Malahide, one of the chamberlains of the
Pope, and another distinguished ecclesiastic, were
arrested under the following circumstances :—lt
appears that the French commandant has issued
strict orders to arrest any suspicious persons skulk-
ing about in the vicinity of the French barracks,
or asking strange questions about the interior of
them. Now it so happened on the above-men-
tioned day that the reverend prelate and his com-
panion were in search of a house which might be
well adapted for the purpose of an hospital or
almshouse, with the intention of renting it in
the name of an institution of the kind. Happen-
ing in their peregrinations to pass close by the
Collegio Piceno, now used as barracks for the
French troops, Monsignor Talbot asked some
soldiers how many men they had there, and
whether they occupied the whole of it. This ques-
tion excited suspicion, and being reported to the
superior officer, he ordered the two.venerable eccle-
siastics to be arrested, which was done in spite of
their remonstrances and explanations, and they
were marched off to the central military command
on the Piazza San Marcello, followed by an im-
mense crowd. Having arrived there, they were
immediately identified and set at liberty. General
Montreal and the ambassador of the French both
waited upon his Holiness, to testify their regret
at this mistake, and their explanations and excuses
were most graciously received.
