delayed until to-day, when the public sales of China
produce commence. Sugars have been inactive,
but at steady rates ; while moderate dealings have
been reported in coffee. Rice, fruit, and spices are
at about former prices. Tallow has been in mode-
rate demand, at steady quotations, for both present
and forward delivery.

NEW ROYAL ADELPHI PICNIC.—The members of
the New Adelphi Theatre company met yesterday
for the entertainment, not of the public, but of themselves.
Their sixth annual picnic has proved as pleasant a success
as any they have jointly helped to insure on or off the
stage. The Thames Iron Company's steamer River Queen
conveyed the party to Erith, where they soon found
amusement in the grounds, the rain obligingly holding off
until it was time for a general move homeward. At a
collation served in a rustically decorated shed, Mr.
Webster joined the gathering, his arrival being signalled
by a salute from a miniature battery in the gardens. That
he was received by all present with cordial demonstrations
of respect and goodwill is a circumstance which, though
it might be assuined as a matter of course, deserves to be
recorded. Mr. Paul Bedford, as the oldest member, occu-
pied the chair ; and with scarcely an exception his fellow-
workers rallied round him and the esteemed manager.
ANNIVERSARY OF THE BATTLE OF THE NILE.—
To-day is the 67th anniversary of the battle of the Nile,
where the French fleet met with-such a decisive over-
throw from Lord Nelson. Five British veterans who were
engaged in the fight still survive, namely, Admiral Sir J.
A. Gordon, G.C.8., then midshipman, now Governor of
Greenwich Hospital ; Captain J. Forbes, then midshipman ;
Captain, J. S. Philips, then midshipman ; Commander R.
L. Connolly, then midshipman ; and First Lieutenant John
Scobell, who was then of his present rank, promotion of
any kind having singularly passed him by.
CONSCIENCE MONEY.--The sums remitted to the
Chancellor of the Exchequer by sundry persons for con-
science sake in the financial year ending with March, 1865,
amounted to £7,181, very nearly the same sum as in the
previous year.
