STRAND THEATRE.

The new management of this little theatre, under
the sole direction of Mr. Oxberry, commences most;
prosperously, and if we may judge from the enter-
tainments we witnessed last evening, there cannot be
a doubt of complete success. The performances com..
menced with The Midnight Hour, the characters in.
which were well sustained. It was followed by a two►
act drama, translated from the Frsnch, entitled The:
Minstrels of Provence; or the Gipsies Stratagem..
The plot of the drama is short and well contrive&
Gauthier, Prince of Provence, is in love with the
Countess of Martique, and Jaconde, a young courtier
and companion of the Prince, in love with Edile, the
companion of the Countess. A lover's quarrel en-
sues, the Prince resolves to court Edile, and Jacemde
the Countess, or failing in this, to woo every woman.
they may chance to meet, maid, wife, or widow. The
Countess overhearing the plot, she, with her come.
panion Edile, disguise themselves as Bohemian gip-
sies, and follow them in their expedition. The Prince
and Jaconde arrive in the village of Martique on the
morning of the fi'le of the rosiere, and commence
their love making v ith Jeanette, the Baillie's intended.
wife ; Jeanette's former lover, Lucas, arrives, and.
then of course the plot thickens. The Countess having
proof of the treachery of the supposed minstrels,
denounces them to justice, they are arrested by the
Baillie, tut the Countess not wishing to carry the joke
further discovers herself, and all ends happily. The
Countess bestows her hand on the Prince, Edile
to Jaconde, and Jeanette gains the prize of the
rosiere, a thousand crowns, and a husband in the
person of Lucas. Miss Egan, as the Countess, oup._-.
parted the character with grace and dignity. Mies

followed, the character of the 3: anMacbeth was
sustained by Oxberry to admiration. The entertain-
ments concluded with a successful new ballet entitled.
the Sprite ofthe Vineyard. Mdlle. Louise Blanche,
as Jeanegaude, acted beautifully—in the course of
the ballet she executed some exquisite dancing, which
was much applauded. Mr. H. Cooper, M. Disloque,
end Mr. 11. Reeves, each sustained their respective
parts excellently.
The house was well and respect-
ably attended.

A CURIOUS DOCUMENT.—The following is s ver-
batim ct titcratim copy of an account granted by James
Hood (who was a cabinet maker in Ayr) to Mr. David
Ewen, who is now Collector of Customs at Ayr. Jenny
Shaw (or Mrs. Paton) kept a respectable glover's shop.
The leather and hair referred to was what James Hood
purchased from her for the purpose of repairing the
chairs. The words within brackets are our own:—

Mr. OSBORNE said he understood the estimate
for the new Houses of Parliament was 1,400,0001.,
and he wished to ask the Noble Lord the First Com-

objection to lay upon the table of the House a detailed
account of the estimate; and also whether the Woods

Lord MORPETH replied that the Hon. Gentle-

and he trusted the architect would be able to carry it
out.—(Hear, and laughter.)
Mr. OSBORNE said, after the answer just given
by the Noble Lord, and considering ihat they had a
deficient and sinking revenue, he was entitled
to put a question to the First Lord of the

Lord was prepared to check this enormous
expenditure that was going on, and if he would give

LONDON.
A special meeting of the proprietors was held yester-
day, at one o'clock, at the offices of the bank, Loth-
bury—John Taylor, the Deputy-Governor, in the
chair—for the purpose of electing three directors in
the room of those who had resigned.
A dividend at tl rate of 6 per cent. per annum for
the half-year having been declared,
Mr. BARNWELL proposed and Mr. OXENFORD
seconded the election of Mr. Charles Dickson
Archibald in the room of Mr. John Shewell.
Mr. HOPKINSON proposed Mr. Henry Cooper in
the room of Mr. Henry Cornfort. il.ogrsqa3
Mr. RENNIE, jun., proposed, and Mr. CLAY, M.P.,
seconded, the election of John Alfred Chowne in the
room of the former.
The gentlemen proposed having been elected, and
having severally returned thanks for the honour con-
ferred upon them,
The Ciiimumals briefly addressed the proprietors.
He said he had great pleasure in stating that
the progress of the bank had been very satis-
factory since the directors had the pleasure of
meeting the proprietors at the last annual meeting
in July. The times they had passed through since
then had been very difficult to encounter, and most
portentous in their character. He supposed that at
no period within their recollection had such remark-
able changes taken place in the value of securities,
and, in fact, of every kind of property, as during the
last four or five months of the past year.

SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 9, 1846.

During that year they had Consols at 94,
and also at 79; they had also Exchequer-bills at 152
premium and 37 discount. All the great articles of i
general use and consumption, such as sugar, cotton,
and indigo, had, he believed, declined in value 25,
and some as much as 40 per cent. Under these cir-
cumstances, of course, the directors were obliged to
exercise peculiar caution in their transactions, and he
was happy to say that at no period—not even
during October or November—did the balances
diminish to a greater extent than about ten per cent.
from the highest amount at whieh they were during
any period of the last year.—(Cheers.) He had,
therefore, unfeigned pleasure in stating that during
the last half-year the gross profits of the bank were as
large as they had been in the same period in 1846,
for although their balances were somewhat less, yet
the higher rate of interest which they had
found it necessary to charge had made up
the difference.—(Cheers.) He could not but
expect that they had had some losses during such a
period as the one they had passed through ; but he
was happy to inform them that these losses were of no
importance, considering the amount of business now
transacted by the bank. The bad debts had been
much less than might have been expected, considering
the commercial embarrassment that had prevailed.
In one respect they had been peculiarly fortu-
nate ; as, seeing in some measure, the coming
pressure, though he did not pretend to say
that they foresaw its extreme intensity, they,
in September, sold a considerable portion of
their Exchequer-bills and other stock in order
that they might be prepared to meet any demand
that might be made upon them, for the directors
were most desirous to give all the accommodation
and assistance to their friends which they were en-
titled to receive at their hands. They had since re-
bought a large number at a price considerably
below that at which they had sold them,
so that instead of sustaining a loss, they
had been enabled by the transaction to add something
to the profit and loss account. Since the beginning
of the year the progress of the bank had continued
equally satisfactory, for, during the month of January,
they had opened 50 new accounts.—(Cheers.) He
trusted that these short statements would prove satis-
factory to the proprietors, and that they would not
consider that his recital of them had unnecessarily
occupied their time.— (Cheers.)
A vote of thanks having been awarded to the Chair-
man and directors, and suitably acknowledged, the
meeting separated.

BANKRUPTCY SUPEI ISEDED.

BANKRUPTS..

SUGAR.—To-day there was a falling off in the home
as well as export demand for Raw Sugar; mer-
chants were more inclined to sell, and the market was
better supplied, and for all descriptions prices in
consequence suffered a decline. The purchases made
in West India Muscovado were limited for both the
scale and refining purposes, although the rates taken
were 6d per cwt. under those of Friday for all kinds.
The quantity sold amounted to only 200 hhds, &c., in-
cluding a public sale of 124 hhds of Barbadoes, which
went off heavily at a fall on former quotations of 6d to
Is per cwt.; fine yellow went at 43s to 44s 6d, good
middling and good 41s 6fl to 42s 6d, and middling 40i Gd
to 41s per cwt. The Raw Sugar Market closes with a
dull aspect.
REFINED.—To-day there was little passing in Re-
fined goods for home use ; the supply is larger, and
prices are on the decline. We quote brown grocery
lumps at 54s 6d, and standard lumps 55s to 55s 6d.
For Bonded Crushed Sugar there is less inquiry, and
prices are not so firm, fine sort selling at 29s to 30s
per cwt.
MAURITICS.—This afternoon there was not much in-
clination shown to operate in Mauritius Sugar, whilst
holders were more inclined to realize, and the market
was more freely supplied. The public sales comprised
7,038 bags, 141 tierces, and 552 casks, consisting chiefly
of middling and fine yellow sorts. The whole sold, but
at a fall on Friday's rates of Is per cwt.
EMIT INDIA.—This afternoon the market for Madras
Sugar had a quiet appearance, and 2,555 bags at public
sale were only in part sold at Gd to Is under former
rates. Bengal met with little attention, and 1,100 bags
at auction went 6d lower.

FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of Foreign
Sugar, and the few parcels sold privately were upon
rather lower terms ; fur 150 cases of low brown Bahia
35s Gd accepted, and for 1,000 bags of Pernambuco law
brown quality at 37s per cwt. There is rather more
Sugar on offer.
MOLASSES.—To-day there was less demand for Mo-
lasses, but holders would not take lower rates.
COFFEE—This afternoon Native Ceylon met with
ready purchasers, and 1,294 bags at auction were all
sold, and at rather higher rates, good ordinary fetching
33s Gd to 345, real good ordinary 34s to 34s 6'l, one lot
355, pea berry realized 40s, and damaged 264 to 325.
he public sales of Plantation consisted of 1,739 bags,
and 82 casks, they went off without spirit, still former
rates aro generally supported.
TEA.—There has been more activity in the market
since last Tuesday, indeed the business transacted is
greater than for some time. For most kinds a rise
in the value took place, although the market has
been more readily supplied. Congou met with a
good demand, and realized an advance on former
rates of id. per lb., whilst other sorts of Black have been
more freely dealt in, and realised stiffer prices. In
Green extensive purchases have been made. This
afternoon several parcels of Tea were disposed of, and
generally at prices rather above those of yesterday. The
better kinds of Green are the most in demand.
SAco,—A more active demand has been experienced
by private contract, but no improvement in value is observ-
able, although the supply is less plentiful. The parcels
disposed of by private treaty were at from 15s to 255,
but 145 boxes at auction were taken in at 19s for
middling small greyish white. Tapioca is in better
demand, and the parcels sold by private treaty were at
full prices.
RICE.—To-day there was little desire shown to make
purchases in East India Rice. At public sale 3,793
bags of Bengal were offered, white sorts went Gd cheaper,
but yellow realised the full value.
COCHINEAL.—AII descriptions have been much in re-
quest, and a further advance of Id per lb is apparent,
By private treaty several parcels have sold : at auction,
59 bags Mexican sold.
SPIRITS.—To-day there was much heaviness in the
market for all kinds of Rum, and the progress of prices
is downwards. The nearest value of proof Leewards is
is Bd, East India is is 7,', and Jamaica 30 to 38 per cent
over proof 3s Bil to 4s 61 per gallon. The price of
British Corn Spirit has been reduced to 10s, which
which is 3d lower. Gin is 2d per gallon cheaper.
INDlGo.—There is greater firmness on the part of
holders of all kinds of East India, and there appears a
desire on the part of exporters as well as the home trade
to get well supplied, and the progress of picas is still
upwards. The quarterly sale which commenced today
was well attended; the quantity declared amounted to
10,133 chests. 851 chests have passed the sale this day.
The biddings having been animated, especially for the
qualities fit for shipping (of which there is but a small
proportion in the sale); there has been also a fair de-
mand for the consuming kinds and for Kurpab, but less
animation for dry leaf Madras.
SALTPETRE.—Of Rough there are large arrivals near
at hand, exporters and the home trade in consequence
operate with caution, and prices tend downwards. Bri
tish Refined is held for 34s 6(1 to 355, but few buyers are
to bo met with, and there is a fair stock.
Wm.—The market for Fish Oils has a more active
appearance, and prices have assumed an upward ten•
dency, whilst supplies are on the decrease. The arrivals
have been of little moment since our last report. In
Cod a good business has been concluded at 251 103 to
261, and on the part of holders there is much armless.
Southern is wanted, but not much is to be obtained.
In Seal several purchases have been made. Sperm

prices. Prices have assumed an upward tendency for
Linseed Oil ; the home trade operated largely, and a
fair quantity has been taken by exporters. For
forward delivery several contracts have been con
eluded at 24s 6d to 255. Of Rape Seed Oil several
parcels have been sold; there is no increase in the sup.
ply. Olive has been in excellent request, and holden,
are less inclined to press sales. The dealings in Palm
Oil have been upon a large scale, and prices are on tht
advance, whilst the supply is on the decrease. In Cocoa
Nut the sales made privately are upon a more e.chin etctenietl
scale at full rates, but 135 neeis'Tes of fine Co
putsiic sate were a:1 wituurawn.
