THAMES NATIONAL REGATTA.

The sixth regatta under the management of the
Thames Subscription Club took place this after-
noon. The entries for the various races were un-
usually attractive, amongst them being several of the
most celebrated rowers. The sculling race had
amongst the entries the names of Henry Kelly, the
champion of the Thames, and Chambers, the ex-
champion, but the former did not row. The fol-
lowing is the result of the racing up to the hour of
going to press :

THE ATLANTIC CABLE.

Still no news regarding the condition of the
Atlantic cable, if we except the significant fact that
one of the highest authorities states that the tests
which show the fault to be at 1,175 miles are en-
tirely fallacious ! Beyond this fresh doubt nothing
is known, and the most eminent electricians are
still of opinion that the mishap has occurred
between 1,230 and 1,250 miles from shore, or
about the distance at which the last signals from
the Great Eastern became unintelligible. Since
the fault was signalled the Great Eastern has been
absent seven days. At an average rate of steaming
seven miles per hour she would have accomplished
about 1,170 miles on Wednesday evening, so that
her return, if no accident has happened to her ma-
chinery, may be confidently looked for this morning.
Only a brief telegram is expected from her, but even
the briefest statement of facts will be a relief as
compared with the endless conjectures, suggestions,
and alarms which have lately filled the public
mind as to the fate of the cable. We may add that
the high rates of insurance quoted as being effected
on the cable merely represents the offers made, for
no business whatever is done, and, in fact, even the
insurance on the Great Eastern herself has risen
more than 2 per cent. since the accident. For the
latter rise, however, there seems not the slightest
justification, as, from first to last, the confidence of
engineers and nautical men in the strength and sea-
going qualities of the great ship is as firm now as
when she left Sheerness.

The Hudson River Railroad Company is compli-
mented for its cleverness in recently killing a whole family
—father, mother, and child, all at once, so that there was
nobody left to bring an action for damages.

At the time the last of the schooners passed the Noman a
calm prevailed at Spithead, where the men-of-war lay at
anchor, while off Cowes there was a light north-westerly
air. The southerly breeze, however, that was coming in
with the tide gradually spread ; but it was not until the
Christabel was getting well towards the Nab lightship that
the breeze she and her consorts carried had extended to the
point of starting in Ryde Roads. The Nab was fetched

closing up fast upon her. Presently the breeze again caught

Theatre Royal Drury Lane.

The programme so tastefully and artistically laid down
by the manager of this theatre is being rigidly adhered to,
and last night Sir Bulwer Lytton's historical play of
"Richelieu" was brought out in a thoroughly efficient
style, Mr. Phelps playing the Cardinal. This is one of the
best of this able actor's characters, and its mixture of high
declamation, strong passion, and domestic feeling is calcu-
lated to bring out the peculiar talents of this artist in high
relief. His heroic bearing, sly sarcasm, human sympathy,
inordinate vanity, and extraordinary energy are all admi-
rably pourtrayed. The quieter parts seem to our mind
most to develop the extraordinary powers of the actor,
though of course the telling and somewhat stagy points
draw down the most vehement applause. The enthusiasm
shown by the audience was unbounded, and, in addition to
a call at the end of the acts, his conclusion was applauded
to the very echo that doth applaud again. Mr. W. Lacy
played the foolish courtier, Sieur do Beringham, very
lightly and agreeably; Mr. E. Phelps was heroic as the
Chevalier de Mauprat ; and Mr. Marston efficient as the
plotting Baradas. Mrs. Herman Vezin acted charmingly
as Julie de Mortemar. The getting-up, though not special
to the occasion, is in every respect handsome and effective.
The grand pantomime still holds its place, nor is there any
sign of its
giving way, except that the last morning per-
formance is announced for Monday next.

ADELPHI THEATRE.

It is a positive happiness to see a

artistic performance of a stage play, after abortive
or ive
attempts made to force on the play-going public the d
b
efforts of immature pretension ; and we saw with delightcrue
last night the reproduction of that excellent comedy,
"Masks and Faces," in which Mr. Webster and Mrs. Stir-
ling play the principal parts. Bad art of any kind is not
only disagreeable, but it lowers the tone of the mind ; and
however it may be decked out with meretricious appliances,
it always produces nausea. True art is an unmistakeable
thing, and whoever can truly appreciate it is never misled
by the false, whatever conspiracy there may be to pass off
the spurious for the real. We trust that Mr. Webster, now
that he has again returned to his owl' stage, will give us
more of himself and of that excellent company be pos-

—That the North-Eastern Company should, on obtaining
Parliamentary sanction, substitute for the Hartlepool classes
A and B stocks, a corresponding amount of North-Eastern
preferential stock, carrying a perpetual guaranteed dividend
at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum from July 1, 1868, with
intermediate guaranteed dividends for the year commenc-
ing July 1, 1865, at £3 ss. per cent. for the year commenc-
ing July 1, 1866, at £3 10s. per cent., and for the year
commencing July 1, 1867, at £3 15s. per cent. The holders
of ordinary stock were to be entitled to guaranteed divi-
dends at like rates per cent., calculated on £76 19s. foreach
£lOO ordinary stock. The resolution to accept 4 per cent.
as the ultimate guaranteed dividend was not arrived at
until the Board had fully and anxiously investigated the
company's resources and prospects in every direction and
under every contingency. But in order to obtain a full ex-
pression of the proprietor's views the Board intended to
forward to every shareholder a proxy in their own favour,
which would be used in support of the amalgamation ex-
cept in those cases where any shareholder might request a
different course to be taken.

the entire surplus last half-year ; and the remaining one-
seventh, after providing a like dividend for the class B
stock, would yield to the holders of ordinary stock a divi-
dend at the rate of £2 3s. 6d. per cent. per annum. Those
dividends would absorb £41,178, and leave £7B for next
account. The gross receipts for the half-year ending Dec.
31 last amounted to £135,317, and for the corresponding
half of 1863 to £126,036, showing an increase of £9,281.
The expenditure amounted to £64,933, against £63,507,
showing an increase of £1,426. The net revenue of the com-
pany for the year 1864 amounted to .£131,598, for the year
1863 to £116,288, and for the year 18G2 to £92,784, showing
an increase over 1863 of £15,310, and over 1862 of £38,814.
The export of coal had fallen off considerably during the
half-year, the revenue from this source being less by £2,691
than in the corresponding half of 1863. The passenger re-
venue had shown a steady increase during the whole half-
year, amounting in the aggregate to 22 per cent., the total
receipts for passengers for the past half-year having been
£ll,OBO, against £9,082. The Byers-green colliery had been
disposed of since the last report on favourable terms, and
the remaining collieries would be offered for sale as soon as
practicable. A provisional agreement for the amalgamation
of this company with the North-Eastern Railway Company
had been entered-into, the basis of which was as follows:

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TAT TERSALL'S-MONDAY.

• The frost to-day was the means of keeping many racing
men in town who would otherwise have been at Datchet
or en route to Lincoln. The consequence was that the
Subscription-room was well attended, although, however,
the amount of actual business done was by no means im-
portant. There was a bit of a rush to back Emblematic at
the Victoria Club in the early part of the day for the
Liverpool Steeplechase, 9 to 1 having been taken kindly,
and she was in continued request at Hyde Park-corner,
where as little as 8 to 1 was noted among the early arrivals
—but as the numbers increased she declined several points,
and although 10 to 1 was offered until there was hardly
one left to respond, 12 to 1 would have been the lowest
taking price. This retrogression, added to the fact of her
noble owner being present (the first time this year) did not
inspire her early backers with any overweening confidence
in their chance of success. Not so with Liddington for the
T pro Thousand, the furore about whom at " the Club" in
the morning had not only not abated, but had even in-
creased, inasmuch as that at 9 to 2 he was supported freely
to money. The only feature of the Chester Cup betting
was the advance of Ackworth to 100 to 7 (taken). Lidding-
ton was steady at his old quotation of 11 to 2 for the Derby.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day.

BOW-STREET.

ROBBING A CoLumnrca—Wiliam Harris, who said he
was a carpenter, and Thomas Cooper, were charged with
stealing from a cab in the street a Paisley shawl and a silk
dress, valued at £2O, the property of Miss Annie Collison,
the actress and danseuse.

Police-Sergeant Ackrill, 15 F, said about nine o'clock on
Saturday evening, the 4th Feb., I was on duty in Long-
acre, in company with another officer, when we saw the
two prisoners and two .other men going towards St. Mar-
tin's-lane. At the corner of Mercer-street the prisoner
Harris went into the shop cf Mr. Burgess, a pawnbroker,
and took a parcel from under his coat. It contained a
valuable Paisley shawl. The pawnbroker's foreman asked
him whose it was, and he said it belonged to his mother,
Mrs. Harris—(a laugh)—and that she lived in New-street,
Covent-garden, having lately taken lodgings there, her
former place of residence being Lambeth. The foreman
seeing me standing behind Harris handed me the parcel.
I then asked Harris where he got it from, and he replied
that a man gave it him to pawn. I took him to the station-
house, where I was informed by the Inlpector on duty that
a lady had just called to make known that she had just lost
a parcel containing a valuable shawl and dress from a cab.
I then left the prisoner in custody, and went in search of
the other men. Knowing their haunts, I went to a public-
house in Princes-street, Leicester-square. I saw Cooper
fumbling about his pockets. The men with whom
he was drinking made a bolt, but I captured Cooper
and • pushed him under a gateway, where I found
in his pockets a pair 'of cuffs and a piece
of lace (produced), and in another pocket the pawn-
broker's duplicate. The latter referred to a dress pledged
in Princes-street, Leicester-square, for £1 10s. I asked
him whose dress it was, and he said "it was his old
woman's." I then took him to the station-house.
The dress was produced by the pawnbroker.

Miss Annie Collison identified the shawl and dress as
her property. The cuffs and lace had been attached to the
dress. She missed the shawl and dress from a cab which
she had left waiting for her at the corner of Southampton-
street and Maiden-lane, whore she had called to make some
purchases at a chemist's shop there. The shawl was worth
£l5, and the dress more than £5.
The prisoners were fully committed for trial.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A DILAPIDATED HOUSE.—Joseph Nixon, the owner of
the house, 5, Holdbrook-court, Tottenham-court-road,
appeared before Mr. Tyrwhitt to answer the complaint of
Mr. T. Curtis, sanitary inspector of St. Pancras, of having
the house in such a state as to be unfit for human habita-
tion.

Mr. D. Cooper, solicitor to the parish of St. Pancras,
appeared in support of the summons.
Mr. Curtis gave evidence to the effect that the drains in
the house were all choked up with, dirt, the rooms were in
a filthy state, the flooring of the house broken away, seve-
ral of the rooms without windows, and the house altogether
in such a dilapidated state as to be unfit for human habita-
tion.

Dr. Hillier, the medical officer of the parish, corroborated
Mr. Curtis, and said the house was unfit for human habita-
tion. •

The defendant said had not received any rent for months.
Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the defendant how he could expect
to get any.

The defendant said all he got when he went to the house
was black eyes and ill-usage.

In answer to Mr. Cooper, the defendant said he would
rather the parish would carry out what was required than
do it himself.

Tho magistrate granted an order for the necessary repairs
to be done and the removal of the nuisance.
DISPUTED FIRE REWARD.—MrS. Williams, of 5, Ryder-
street, was summoned by James Jervis, engine keeper of
St, James's, for refusing to pay a fire reward.
It appears that a, chimney was on fire at Mrs. Williams's
house, and the engine keepers went there with their
engines, the fire on their arrival being seen coming from
the chimney. Mrs. Williams refused to admit the firemen,
and they were therefore obliged to go through the next
house and climb over a roof to get at the chimney. On the
firemen subsequently getting into Mrs. Willianis's, she
abused them in a shameful manner, calling them scoundrels,
thieves, &c.

Mr. Tyrwhitt, after hearing Mrs. Williams and her cook,
said he never heard a clearer case, and it was too bad to
refuse the firemen, who often risked their lives, admission,
and then to abuse them in such a scandalous manner. He
should order the reward with full costs.
London, England, 1865-02-21

PEMBROKE AND TENBY.

The half-yearly meeting was held at Tenby on Friday ;
Mr. W. Owen in the chair.
The report stated that the traffic was gradually increas-
ing, and the agreement with Messrs. Davies and Roberts
for the working of the line had been carried out in a satis-
factory manner. The, works on the Whitland Extension
were progressing, but considerable difficulty had been ex-
perienced as regards the land, owing to the exorbitant
prices asked for it.
The report was unanimously adopted, and a dividend at
the rate of sper cent. per annum was declared on both the
preference and ordinary shares.

MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLNSHIRE
The total expenses of this and the South Yorkshire Com-
panies' railways, including rents, tolls, duty, &c., from
January 1 to February 12, amounted to £49,136, as against
£47,393 for the corresponding period of 1864. The propor-
tion of the South Junction receipts accruing to this com-
pany from January 1 to February 12 amounted to £4,005 ;
as against £3,951 for the corresponding period of 1864, and
the expenses to £1,967, as against £2,042.

Theatre Royal Drury Lane.

The programme so tastefully and artistically laid down
by the manager of this theatre is being rigidly adhered to,
and last night Sir Bulwer Lytton's historical play of
"Richelieu' was brought out in a thoroughly efficient
style, Mr. Phelps playing the Cardinal. This is one of the
best of this able actor's characters, and its mixture of high
declamation, strong passion, and domestic feeling is calcu-
lated to bring out the peculiar talents of this artist in high
relief. His heroic bearing, sly sarcasm, human sympathy,
inordinate vanity, and extraordinary energy are all admi-
rably pourtrayed. The quieter parts seem to our mind
most to develop the •extraordinary powers of the actor,
though of course the telling and somewhat stagy points
draw down the most vehement applause. The enthusiasm
shown by the audience was unbounded, and, in addition to
a call at the end of the acts, his conclusion was applauded
to the very echo that doth applaud again. Mr. W. Lacy
played the foolish courtier, Sieur de Beringham, very
lightly and agreeably; Mr. E. Phelps was heroic as the
Chevalier de Mauprat ; and Mr. Marston efficient as the
plotting Baradas. Mrs. Herman Vezin acted charmingly
as Julie de Mortemar. The getting-up, though not special
to the occasion, is in every respect handsome and effective.
