GRAND SURREY DOCKS AND CANAL COMPANY.-At
the ordinary meeting of the Grand Surrey Docks and
Canal Company, held on Monday, the profit of the year
1855, viz., 9,9231. 6s. 11d., added to a balance from
1854 of 2,9451. 19s. ld., made a total of 12,8691. 64.,
which was thus appropriated:—To reserve fund and ex-
penses of mud-raising, 2,0001., and to dividend of 4 per
cent. 6,084/., leaving an undivided surplus of 4,7851. 6s.
The meeting regarded this as a more secure course than
that of increasing the dividend in the prospect of an
immediate enlargement of the capital foe the extension
of the decks, for which purpose the directors stated their
intention of shortly issuing a portion of the new.;;; per

.HER MAJtSTrS ThEATRE.

We have lien cfficially informed that this establish-
ment will open on the 6th of May, on which occasion
Madame Alboni will make her first appearance these
five years. She will be speedily followed by Mdlle.
Piccolowini in the Traviata of Verdi—not htherto
heard in this country. Mdlle. Albertini, another
prima donna of considerable continental note, has also
been engaged, and will make her debut in the Trovatore,
as Leonora, in conjunction with Alboni in the part of
Azucena. A Mdlle. Fenoli and a Mdlle. Giudetta Rizzi
are also promised. The tenors will be Signor Salviani
Of repute at the Pergola), Baucaide, and Calzolari ;
the baritone Signor Benevantani, great as Den Giovanni;
and the basses Signors Vairo and Zucconi ; besides
others with whom engagements are still pending. The
ballet will comprise Rosati, and debutantes of the names
of Baschetti, Lisereux, and Rosa ; besides the Russian
celebrity K.atinka. One of the foremost produc-
tions in this department will be the Corsaire, now so
popular in Paris, the libretto of which is attributed to
no less a personage than the Empress Eugenie. There
are other arrangements of great interest in pragress.

SOUTH WALES RAILWAY.

The trunk line of the South Wales Railway from
Haverfordwest, through John tone to Neyland, was for-
mally opened for traffic on Tuesday (yesterday) morn-
ing. Neyland is situated on the north-eastern shore of
Milford Haven, immediately opposite the large royal
building arsenal at Pembroke, four miles from the little
town of Milford, and about eight from Haverfordwest.
It is the terminus of the South Wales Railway, which,
joining the Great Western line at Gloucester, now form
a direct railway communication between the metropolis
and our western shores. No public demonstration was
made upon the occasion, the station at present erected
at Neyland being merely temporary, and unadapted for
any purposes of festivity or display. Milford Haven
undoubtedly possesses immense natural advantages, and
it remains only for art to construct proper wharves
and docks to secure for it the position of one of
the most •important export ports in the king-
dom. It is easy of access for the largest vessel in
any state of the tide. ft is almost land-locked, and has
'secure anchorage for an empire. It will prove extremely
economical and convenient for the coaling of ocean
steamers, and will, no doubt, export large quantities
of the Pembrokeshire 4nthracite coal now held in
high estimation. Vessels have already shipped to Aus-
tralia iron which had been brought hither by the railway
from the Welsh mining districts, anal, it is anticipated,
from its being 24 hours nearer America than Liverpool,
free from heavy dues, and now in direct communication
with the great mercantile districts, that this magnificent
but long-neglected haven will speedily attain the com-
mercial importance which its natural advantages seem
to demand for it.

SALOMONS, Mayor. —ln a MEETING or
ASSEMBLY of the MAYOR, ALDERMEN, and LI VERY-
MEN of the several COMPANIES of the CITY of LONDON, in
Common Flail assembled, at the Guildhall of the said City, on Tues-
day, the 1.5"..h day of April, 1856
Resolvel--Tbat the bill lately introduced into the House of Com-
mons, purporting to ha for the better regulation of the Corporation of
the City of London, although professing to abolish such customs and
privileges as injuriously affect trade, ignores the whole body of the
Livery, is destructive of its privileges, extinguishes its municipal
existence, and is otherwise subver-Ive of the ancient rithts, proper-
tie., and liberties of ;he Corporation, and that this Common Ball
determines to give the most earnest opposition to the passing of such
bill.

Resolved unanimously—That by sweeping away the long-esta-
blished rights of the Livery, and transferring the functions of that
very numerous body of 15,000 and upwards to the small number of
96 persons, s, principle is adopted obviously at variance with the true
spirit of reform.
Resolved unanimously—That the Livery are fully alive to the
desirablf-mess of reforming all abuses, and would gladly lend their
aid to isny scheme of reform really worthy of that cesignation, hut
they oan only consider the present bill as one of inconsiderate change,
nee liessly and injuriously interfering with long-established and
val °able institutions, the right use of the powers of the Livery never
having been impeached, and it being indisputable that great services
I.tave been rendered by them to the country.
Resolved unanimously—That this Common Hall approves of the
proceedings of the committee of Liverymen appointed at a meeting
at the On ldhall Coffee-house, held on the 9th day of April inst-int,
and hereby request the said committee to continue to act on its be-
half, and to add such members of the Livery to their number as they
may froos time to time deem advisable.
Resolved unanimously —That the petition row real be adopted and
signed by the Livery, and presented by Mr. Masterman to the house
of Commons, and that all the Members of the City be requested to
support its prayer.
Resolved unanimously—That the best thanks of this Common Hall
be given to the It'ght Honourable the Lord Mayor for his excellent
conduct in presiding on this occasion.

The Moniteur announces that the Congress of

Paris has terminated its labours.

The closing sitting was held yesterday at the
Hotel of the Minister of Foreign Affiirs.

After the signing of the treaty, the Plenipo-
tentiaries had still to occupy themselves with

different questions of a nature to consolidate and
complete the work of peace.

Immediately after the promulgation of the
general treaty the protocols will be published, and

INSURRECTION IN BULGARIA.

PARIS, APRIL 16.

A telegraphic despatch announces that an in-
surrection has broken out at Belgradchick, in nul-
garia, near the Servian frontier.

A Bulgarian, formerly an officer in the Russian
service, professes an intention to expel the Turks
in the name of Russia. He is at the head of two
or three hundred men.

OUR ARMY IN THE CRIMEA.
SEBASTOPOL, April I.—The wintry weather, which
was exerting its retarding influence on many mat-
ters in the camps when the last mail left, has not
yet ceased, notwithstanding the advanced period
of the season. The extension of the armistice has
been formally announced in General Orders. No
date for its duration is mentioned ; the suspension
of hostilities is to continue until further orders.
The French hare constructed an enormous salts
danser in the Balaklava valley, between the Fe-
dioukine heights and Ca,nrobert's-hill. .It is in a
convenient situation to be approached, near the
Woronzoff-road as it turns to ascend towards the
position of the Sardinian encampments and Ka-
mara. The opening ball is to take place to-night,
and invitations have been issued to all the English
ladies and English officers in the Crimea. Colonel
M'Murdo has returned in good health and resumed
the command of the Land Transport Corps.
Among the recent arrivals- is also M. Soyer. He
came by the Ottawa, three days since, after a very
stormy passage from Constantinople. It is ru-
moured in the French camps that the Russians
have received news of the peace negotiations having
been brought to a favourable conclusion.

MEETING OF CONVOCATION.

Yesterday morning both Houses of Convocation re-
assembkd at Westminster by adjournment from the pre-

vious day.

THE UPPER HOUSE.
The Upper House assembled at 11 o'clock. There were
present the Archbishop of Canterbury (who presided),
the Bishops of Oxford, Winchester, Llandaff, Worcester,
and other right rev. prelates.
Soon after their lordships assembled, the Archbishop
of Canterbury received from the Prolocutor of the
Lower House a report which bad been agreed upon
by the Committee of Gravamina, in reference to the
question of Church rates, which matter was fully dis-
cussed on a previous occasion. The committee strongly
recommended that, a 3 there was a bill on the question
now before Parliament, it would be exercising a wise
discretion not to persevere until the decision of the Le-
gislature should be ascertained.
The ARCHBISHOP, after consulting with the bishops,
stated that he had laid the matter before their lordships
of the Upper House, who begged him to say that they
fully concurred in the propriety of uot at present making
Ar~y formal report on the subj.:.e. The question
probably be settled by the Legislature in the course of
the present session.
On the retirement of the Prolocutor, there being no
other business, their lordships adjourned.
The Lower House was occupied with the re-considera-
tion of the report on Church discipline, referred back to
them on the previous day. The house being unable to
get through all its business asked and obtained leave to
sit again to-day.
Dean 'Ullman has placed in the hands of the Prolocu-
tor the following notice of motion : "To propose a peti-
tion to the Upper House, praying their lordships to con-
sider the propriety of presenting an address to her Ma-
jesty for the discontinuance of the order requiring tilt
use of the occasional services for the sth November, the
30th January, and the 29th May.

TURKEY.

- -
CONSTANTINOPLE, April 3.—The news of the
conclusion of peace, although by no means unex-
pected, did not fail to make here the impression
which the news was calculated to produce. Every
one begins to turn his attention to the consequences
of the great news ; and the thought of these conse-
quences has considerably modified the feelings with
which the news of peace was received by the dif-
ferent fractious of the motley population of Constan-
tinople. 'line Turks took the news of peace very
quietly. As for the British army, no doubt, the
idea of home makes many a heart beat fast ; but to
say that peace is generally popular would be incor-
rect. Last week 500 recruits for the Turkish Con-
tingent were embarked for Kertch. They form
part of the 2,500 men which, according to the
standing arrangements, have to be supplied yearly
to make up for casualties. It is but fair to state
that the Turkish Government behaved very well
in this respect. Not only did the men come forth
at the appointed time, but they were all provided
with new clothes and were picked men. The men
themselves seemed in excellent spirits in general ;
the Contingent, which was in the beginning viewed
only with horror, is now rather popular. Tile letters
sent by the ofiliers and men of the Turkish Con-
tingent have given such a satisfactory account of
their gate that the Turkish soldiers begin to per-
ceive that they can only gain by the change.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

BOMBAY, March 18.—Our money market during the
last fortnight has become slightly tighter, and the banks
in consequence have not reduced their rates of interest ;
but it is generally supposed the present pressure
will be only temporary. Government Securities have
given way in value.
Imports—The demand for cotton piece goods of al-
most every description is very fair, and at prices more
favourable than have prevailed for some time past.
There is little doubt that this state of matters will be
further improved on the termination, a week hence, of
the linlee holidays.
Grey Shirtings of 40 inches have advanced 1 to 2
annas per piece, and are in good inquiry; the same re-
marks apply to 45 in, 71 and 81b,.; all other descriptions
remain at former quotations, but are in demand. Grey
Madapollatns have slightly advanced, and all descrip.
tions are in good inquiry. Grey Jacconets are also in
fair inquiry. Grey Long Cl )ths are in moderate inquiry,
without any improvement- in prices. Grey Dome ties
are very dull of 1./tie. In Grey T Cloths all descriptions
are in good demand.
Cotton Yarn—A fair amount of business has been
done, and prices have advanced on both water and mule,
excepting on 40 of the former, and 50, and 90, and 100
of the latter, which remain at former quotations. Dyed
orange and Turkey red are both dull of sale.
Woollens—Although ladies' cloth is in moderate in-
quiry, the market generally is dull.

EXPORTS.
Cotton Wool—The market has been tolerably steady.
The arrivals of the new crop have been free, with the
excidion of Broach, Surd, and Jumb,sen, which are
coming in :mull lots. Our present quotations are—
For Broach, Rs 99 to 100; Oomrawutte, Rs 98 ; Dho

papers"—might pass for boldness, did we not know hoW
you can cringe—did we not know how you can saerikte •
nation's interests and a nation's honour—how you can
squander a nation's- treasure and a nation's blood-120f
you can carry on a war of " connivance" for the extinction
of right and liberty everywhere, to propitiate " influences"
which every Engdshman, not a Germanised sycophant, re'
pudiates. Already the Czar's " Manifesto" flouts us for the
mischief and disgrace you are hatching for us. I leave it
to the Press, to the " anonymous newspapers," to settle
their account with you. Some of them have already taken
up the gauntlet. I trust that the rest will not be so lost to self-respect and to their own beet interests•as not to fol•
low snit. To "swallow the leek," from you; were bar ness indeed. Reflect upon this, Lord Palmerston, that
those " anonymous newspapers"—the Press of England—' which you hold so cheap, have only to issue their fiat to
hurl you from that position whence you insult and debt
both them and the nation ; and that it rests with the
" an nymous newspapers" to keep you, during the brief
space that remains to you, what you have before been a " disappointed" intriguer for place.

HER 4(AJ STY'S ThEATRE.

We have I eon officially informed that this establish*
ment will open on the Fish of May, on which occasion
Madame Alboni will make her first appearance these
five years. She will be speedily followed by Mdlle.
Piccolomini in the Traviata of Verdi--not hitherto
heard in 'this country. Mdlle. Albertini, another
prima donna of considerable continental note, has also
been engaged, and will make her debut in the Trovatore•
as Leonora, in conjunction with Alboni in the part of
Azncena. A Mdlle. Fenoli and a Mdlle. Gindetta Rizzi
are also promised. The tenors will be Signor Saleiani
(if repute at the Pergola), Baucarde, and Calzdlari ;
the baritone Signor Benevautani, great as Don Giovanni;
and the basses Signors Vairo and Zuccorii ; besides
iithers with whom engagements are still pending. The
ballet will comprise Rosati, and debutantes of the namely
of Boachetti, Lisereux, and Rosa ; besides the Russian
celebrity Mdlle. ICatinka. One of the foremost produc-
tions in this department will be the Coraaire, now so.,
popular in Paris, the libretto of which is attributed to
no less a personage than the Empress Eugenie. There
are other arrangements of great Interest in progress.

THE OVERLAND MAIL.

We have received our advices in anticipation of
the Overland Mail. The dates are: Calcutta,
March 10; 13,-anhay, March 19.
The following is from the Bombay Times of
March 19:

The past fortnight has been newsless. Lord Can-
ning reached Calcutta on the 29th of February,
and was immediately sworn in Governor-General.
The Marquis of Dalhousie left on the Gth, carrying
with him a larger measure of respect and regard
than has perhaps ever before attended a retiring
Governor-General.

The Sonthal insurrection has closed ; 14,000 Son-
thals have sought and fouud work on the railway
passing by their hills.
Peace and prosperity universally prevail.
Everything continues quiet in tile kingdom of
Oude. The troops hive tendered their services to
us to a man. A portion of them for a short time
hesitated, under the apprehension that they might
he compelled to shave ; on being assured that the
bushiest of beards were no objection, they enrolled
themselves at once. The villazers seem to experi-
ence equal astonishment and delight at receiving
prompt and punctual payment for everything re-
quired from them for the public service, and at be-
ing permitted to give or to withhold whatever they
please. We have heard nothing within the last
month in reference to the proceedings at Herat, or
threatened hostilities with Persia. The capture of
the former is matter of supreme indifference—war
with the latter about as unlikely a thing as can be
conceived. The money market is somewhat tighter
than it was a fortnight ago. There is an improving
tone in our markets for most descriptions of grey
goods.

and, the RAherhithe outpicket engine having been set
