STATE OF TRADE

1 CARDIEF, March 7.—The steam coal trade is in a
moderately buoyant state, and nearly all the colliers
are in regular employ. There are good orders in
hand from the Continental markets, and the ex-
ports to the West India Islands are large. The
reduction by the Great Western Company of the
tonnage rates to the metropolis has caused a consi-
derable increase in the quantity of Welsh coal sent
to the London market. Quotations are firmly main-
tained. The house coal merchants are well supplied
with orders, and the Irish and West of England
demand is good. Coke for locomotive purposes is
in fair request, and the patent fuel works are on full
time. The lock-out in Staffordshire has not as yet
affected the trade of this district to any extent, and
there has been no accession of orders through it.
LEICESTER, Bth.—The hosiery trade in most de-
partments is steadily improving, and the operatives
are finding increased employment. At Loughbor-
ough, Hinckley, and in the country districts gene-
rally there is rather more doing. Cotton yarns are
fluctuating, but high prices are yet quoted. Spinners
are generally working to orders. There is no ma-
terial alteration in the price of wools, the market
being quiet.
NOTTINGHAM, Bth.—The lace trade still remains
quiet, and though orders are coming in they are only
small, and more for assorting up than for ordinary
stock. Silk Mechlins are rather more in demand
and black silk laces and edgings are likely to be
more used, the fashions being in their favour. The
plain cotton net branch isyery depressed, and until
there is more steadiness in the cotton market it is
probable it will remain so. The Continental trade
as a whole remains very quiet. The hosiery trade
continues active, and a fair amount of business is
being transacted. Buyers, however, act with cau-
tion, and decline to place orders in advance owing
to the unsettled state of the cotton market, in which
there is an unsteady feeling, and yarns are expected
to decline in price.

THE PALL-MALL GAZETTE.
The PALL- iIALL GAZE rTE is now published as a
MORNING REVIEW as well as an EVENING NEWS-
PAPER.
The design the Proprietors had from the first is thus car-
ried out. They thought it judicious to test their machinery
and the taste of the public before undert king a double
labour. And now, satisfied with the experiment in both
cases, and urged by frequent demands for the paper from
distant places where an evening journal is not easily ob.
taintql, they have resolved on publishing the MORNING
REVIEW.

The Morning Edition contains a review of the Par:ia-
mentary proceedings of th' previous night, and a few para-
graphs of special intelligence. The rest of the paper is com-
posed of Original Articles.
To provide the News looked for in a morning newspaper is
so gre t undo to log, and ne that is already so fully ac-
complished by halt a doz n journ,ls, that the Proprietors of
the PALL-MALL GAZI..Tr I,: do not attempt it. But to
any ore of these newspaper' the PALL-MALL GAZ e.TT will add n Series of Original Articles such as 18 provided in
no other dal y parer.
The I'ALL-MALL GAZMTTE is still published as an
EVENING NEWS t'APER. But deferring to the wishes of
some subscribers who wish to have the Evening News and
the Mon y Market report at greater length, the paper is en-
larged by four p ,ges.

Railway and other Companies•

MONMOUTHSHIRE.

The report of the directors states that the traffic
receipts for the past half year ending December 31
were £5,885 more than at the corresponding half of
1863. The gross traffic receipts amounted to £71,429
against £65,544 for the corresponding period ; the
working expenses to £33,170, or 46 per cent. against
£30,355, or 46 per cent., showing an increase of
£2,815 ; and the net earnings amounted to £38,259
against £35,190, showing an increase of £3,069 over
the corresponding half of 1863. The sum of £4,000
had been transferred to the reserve fund to provide
for the cost of relaying various portions of the rail-
ways and for other contingencies. The average rate
of interest paid on the borrowed capital was £4 6s.
9d. per cent. per annum. The balance of £20,210
(less income-tax) would yield a dividend at the rate
of sit per cent per annum on the ordinary shares,
which rate the directors recommend to be declared,
leaving £1,277 to be carried forward. The dividend
for the corresponding half of 1862 was at the rate
of 6 per cent. per annum. The directors considered
it necessary to apply for powers in the present
session to raise additional capital to the amount of
£200,000 by shares, and of £50,000 by debentures,
for sundry new works, and the further improvement
of the Western Valley lines. The capital account
showed that £1,248,530 had been expended, leaving
s balance against the company of £4,026.

Drury Lane Theatre.

•
Shakspere's popular and charming play of " As I°,`
Like It" was last night reproduced at this theatre, Princi-
pally, as we presume, to afford Miss Helen Faucit an
op-
portunity of appearing in the character of Rosalind, le,r,
performance of which is unrivalled in the subtlety of the
expression of the character, and in its truly femuif,
charm. There is no trace of any diminution of power in
personation, and the effect on the audience seel'aed t°
this
be as potent as ever. Mr. James Anderson's Jaques Wt
.marked with great care to render every word of the teat
with full expression and emphasis, and the celebrateu
sp.eeches of this rhapsodist Of the forest were 011 re;
°erred with marked , applause. Mr. Walter Wild
gomery's Orlando has youth and manliness, 'fa'
the colloquial portions, as well as the more sentireen"
with Rosalind, and the more humane with Adam,
given with force and nature. Mr. J. Neville's perferraa.onie
of the latter character was very nicely rendered, and f-„l'y
deserved the sympathy and applause it gained. The °(-1.1.
other novelty of the cast was Mr. Walter Lacy's Pe
the I°7l_
mance of Touchstone, a part latterly confided to
comedian, although Fawcett and other performers of eece, 5
trio characters formerly undertook it. Mr. Lacy's rerne
and style are not so broadly comic as we have been '9-0.0
used to, but it produced its effect. He infuses jut° rs
enormous self-sufficiency with a touch of courtly ra3ulle,
he
indicating, as it would seem, that being the Royal Jester, be
would have a touch of courtly manners. There TO amore
reason in this, but we think that Touchstone is uluchjer,
the wag than the gentleman. Mr. Lacy's version, h7t
told very well. The house was crowded with an
ele6"-
audience, which was lavish of admiration and *Plans°.

RAILWAY BILLS.

Yesterday Mr. Calvert, Q.C., opened the case
for the promoters of the proposed Hadlow Railway,
for an extension to Tunbridge and Maidstone, in

the committee of which Mr. Ingham is the chair-
man. The referees reported that they had inquired
into the opposition of the South-Eastern Railway
Company, and were of opinion that the proposed
junction at the Tunbridge station, eros img the main
line of the South-Eastern was not, as alleged by
that company, objectionable. Inasmuch, however,
as the referees had not reported on the subject of
station accommodation, the committee referred the
bill back to them. After hearing the case of land-
owners and on engineering grounds against the
Havant, Hambledon, and Drooford Railway, the
committee threw out the bill, and then proceeded to
hear Mr.. Merewether, Q.C., on the Poole and
Bournemouth Railway Bill, by which it is proposed
to make three extension lines and working arrange-
ments. Mr. Clerk addressed the committee against
one of the extensions for the South-Western Com-
pany, who objected to the engineering features of
the proposed junction with their line at Canford
Magna, and the referees having reported against it,
the commitee :rejected that portion of the bill,
but passed the two other extensions.
The portion of the bill of the Colne Valley, en-
abling them to raise further sums of £40,000 by
shares and £13,000 by loan, has been approved.
The hearing of the case of the Whitehaven Junc-
tion and Cockermouth and Workington Bail ways
Bill occupied the attention of Mr. Roger's Com-
mittee, Mr, Millward, Q.C., stating the object of
the,,promoters to be to give effect to an intended
lease of the Cockermouth and Workington Railway
to the Whitehaven Junction for 1,000 years, to raise
£30,000 b/ shares, and £lO,OOO by loan. General
evidence occupied the committee all day.
Mr. DODSON, the Chairman of Ways and Means,
inquired into the Bristol and Exeter, on objection to
locus standi of Somerset and Dover Railway ; Cale-
donian (Barrhead and Paisley branches) ; Furness ;
and London, Chatham, and Dover Railway (No. 2).

SELECT COMMITTEE ON STANDING
ORDERS.

Yesterday the Select Committee reported that the
standing orders may be dispensed with and the bills
proceeded with in the following cases :—Sidmouth
and Budleigh Salterton, on striking out all powers
relating to No. 2 railway; Sidmouth Railway and
Harbour ; Dublin South Suburban, powers for con-
struction of five and six railways to be struck out,
no property to be taken outside the limits of devia-
tion shown on the plans, and amended books of refe-
rence to be deposited ; Brecon and Merthyr Tydfil,
various powers on amended plans and sections being
deposited ; and South Wales and Great Western
Direct.

Royal Literary Fund.

The annual general meeting of this association
took place yesterday at the society's offices, Adelphi-
terrace, Mr. F. W. POLLOCK in the chair. Among
the gentlemen present were Sir H. Ellis, Sir E.
Belcher, Vice-Admiral Sir J. Prior, Messrs. Dickin-
son, G. Gibson, Robert Bell, Ouvry, Harrison, H.
Foss, William Smith, Gaspey, W. B. Doune, and
Masters. The business was of a purely formal
character.

The report of the treasurer was presented, and it
stated that the permanent fund, which amounted at
the date of the last general meeting to £23,93915. 6d.
Consols, had produced in dividends during the past
year the sum of £7lB 3s. 4d. The great success of
the anniversary dinner under the presidency of his
Royal Highness the Prince of Wales had enabled
the general committee to purchase stock to the
amount of £1,560 18s. 2d., since the payment of
the July dividend. The permanent fund there-
fore now amounted to £25,500, producing an annual
dividend of £765. The stock of the Newton pro-
perty consisted of £8,167 15s. 10d. in the Three
per Cents. Reduced, producing an annual dividend
of £245 Os. Bd. The Newton estate at Whitechapel
had produced, during the past year, the sum of
£203 in rents. During the past year there had
been 48 grants, amounting in the whole to the sum
of £1,490. Six of these were £lO grants, four
grants of £l5, eight of £2O, eight of £25, seven of
£3O, six of £4O, six of £5O, one of £6O, and two
of £lOO each.

Votes of thanks were given to the registrars,
treasurers, and auditors ; also to the hon. solicitor,
physician, and architect, and to the secretary for the
very efficient manner in which he had discharged
his duties.

The election of registrars, treasurers, and audi-
tors being proceeded with, Messrs. W. H. Harrison,
John Dickinson, and Robert Bell were elected as
registrars ; Sir Henry Ellis, K.H., the Lord Hough-
ton, and Mr. W. F. Pollock as treasurers ; and
Messrs. Bolton Corney, William Hookham Car-
penter, and Theodore Martin as auditors. Mr. F.
W. Gibbs and Mr. Froude were elected on the
general committee, and the Dean of Westminster
on the council, in the room of the late Mr. C. W.
Dilke.

-----
Before separating the CHAIRMAN announced that
the Archbishop of York would preside at the annual
dinner, which was fixed to take place on the 10th

A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the
proceedings.

extreme sentence of the law still hanging over her.

CANTERBURY.

Lord Athlumney has issued an address to the
electors of Canterbury, announcing his intention to
retire from the representation of that city at the
close of thepresent Parliament. The reason assigrned
by his lordship is that the state of his health is such
that he cannot give the time and attention necessary
to the discharge of his Parliamentary duties. The
Liberals have brought forward Major Lyon as a
candidate for the pending vacancy, and his address
offering himself has appeared simultaneously with
that of Lord Athlonumn the election on the re-
signation of the H. Henry Butler-JohnsUme, in
1862, Major Lyon was the defeated candidate, Mr.
If. A. Butler-Johnstone, the Conservative, being
returned by a majority of 3 only. Major Lyon's
present address contains no statement of his views,
which are, however, known to be those of an ad-
vanced Liberal. He is in favour of an extension of
the suffrage, the ballot, and the abolition of church

FROM.
Lord Edward Thynne having announced his in-

borough at the next election, a very active canvass

has been pursued during the past week by Sir Henry
Rawlinson, in the Liberal interest, and by Mr.
Wickham, a resident in the town, on the part of the
Conservatives. The constituency is small, and
pretty equally divided, so that whenever the elec-
tion does take place the contest is likely to be a close
one,

IMPERIAL . PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF LORDS-THIS EVENING.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at
the usual hour.

IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT.

The LORD CHANCELLOR brought in a bill to abolish
imprisonment for debt, or rather so much of it as remained
unrepealed by recent legislation. The general opinion
throughout the country was that imprisonment of a debtor
for nonpayment of a debt was neither just nor useful, and
although the present opportunity might enable them
to make certain improvements in the bankruptcy laws,
yet he did not intend to deal with the ques-
tion at present. By the present bill it was proposed
to abolish imprisonment for debt, and that no formal
discharge by the bankruptcy laws should be available to
protect future property unless the bankrupt should have
paid a dividend of ss. in the pound, or unless he obtained
the assent of his discharge from four-fifths of his creditors.
The bill was read a first time.
London, England, 1865-03-09

SAMBRE AND AfPUSE.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was
held yesterday at the offices, Moorgate-street ; Mr.
Sheward in the chair. •

The report (an abstract of which has appeared in
The Sun) was taken as read.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the re-
port, explained that there were sundry items they
had to pay as compensation to officials on leaving
the service of the company, because they were not
retained by the Grand Central Company on leasing
the line. They had an item of £452 for bad debts,
which was not much for a company. There was
1700 more put down for the London offices and
directors. There was an item of £16,000 which
had been carried to capital as profit on exchanges,
which did not belong to that account, and they now
proposed to place it to the credit of revenue to meet
the future differences of exchange. The net rental of
£40,000 a year for the line being payable in Bel-
gium, there would be a small loss in exchanging it
for English money payable in London, and it was
proposed to deduct that loss from the £16,000 which
had been accumulated by the profit on exchanges in
sending English money on capital account to Bel-
gium, the sovereign being valued in Belgium at
about 25-if. on the average, while in their accounts
it was estimated at 25f. There were only two small
accounts outstanding—one of £l2O respecting income
tax in Belgium, and the other about £6O or £7O.
Under the agreement the dividend would never be
less than it was that day, viz., at the rate of 2 per
cent. on the ordinary stock.
Mr. AUSTIN seconded the motion for the adoption
of the report.
Some conversation then ensued with regard to
items in the accounts, which were explained by the
Chairman. The £40,000 a year was payable to the
company in four quarterly payments clear of all ex-
penses ; and the directors intended to pay the divi-
dends in future on Ist April and Ist October in each
year. _ _ _

Mr. HOYES was not satisfiedwith the explanation,
and wanted in future more detailed accounts.

The CHAIRMAN said he would -endeavour to meet
the objection raised by Mr. Hoyes in the future
statements, and he could assure him all the accounts
were perfectly correct. _ _ _

Resolutions were passed adopting the report, ap-
proving the dividend of 4s. per share for the past
half-year, and authorising the item in the capital ac-
count of £16,897 as profits on exchanges, to•be made
available for meeting any future losses on exchanges.
On the motion of the Chairman, seconed by Mr.
Noyes, the election of Mr. 11. T. Taylor as a direc-
tor of the company was approved and confirmed.

It was stated that those who intended to hold
their shares should register them, as it was requisite
to have 8,000 shares represented in Belgium to con-
stitute a legal meeting. The board had done away
with all fees to encourage registration and facilitate
the holding and transfer of shares.
The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks
to the directors.
