" 18, Duke-street, Westminster, Oct. 13.
" Gentlemen,—At the time of the last half-yearly
meeting, the works were entirely suspended, owing to
the difficulties of our contractor, but expectations were
entertained that arrangements might shortly be entered
into with other parties for completing the ship and pad-
dle engines ; circumstances, however, appeared to ren-
der it unavoidable that we should for a time undertake
ourselves their execution, and towards the latter end of
May the works were resumed ; since that time a con-
siderable quantity of work has been executed. The plat-
ing of the hull of the ship has proceeded rapidly, indeed
at a considerably greater rate than during the existence
of the contract, and the.quality of the work being under
our own control is also equ.elly good. The whole of the
centre body of the ship is, as may be easily perceived,
in a very forward state, the extremities of the stem and
stern alone remain to be completed. Everything is de-
termined upon and in progress with respect to these
parts, but they will necessarily occupy more time in
proportion to the quantity of iron to be fixed than the
centre body. The paddle engines, paddle wheels, pad-
dle boxes, and screw propeller are being proceeded with;
the boilers of these engines are now being moved, pre-
paratory to being lifted into the ship, and the travelling
crane erected for the purpose has been tested. Messrs.
Watt and Co. have given notice of the commencement
of the delivery in the course of this week also of their
boilers, and we shall soon be ready to receive their en-
gine works. I have matured my plans for the launch.
ing, and am now preparing the drawings and models
and the numerous other details, the settlement of which
the present advanced stage of the work requires and
admits of now occupy-my attention. After the many
disappointments we have met with I shall not venture
to speak of the future beyond expressing the hope and
belief that at our next annual meeting the works will be
so near completion that we may then safely form an
opinion of the time when we may rely upon seeing this
great ship afloat.—l am, gentlemen, your obeient
servant, (Signed) "I. K. BausEL:
This being a half-yearly meeting held in compliance with
the terms of the charter and deed of settlement mainly to
report progress, it is unnecessary for the directors to
enter into any details of their future policy or of their
contemplated arrangements, but at the next annual
general meeting, which it is intended shall be held as
early in January next as circumstances will admit of, a
full exposition of 'the arrangements and affairs of the
company will be submitted to you. Your directors have
thought it advisable to take the present opportunity of
holding the meeting at this place, with the view of afford.
ing any shareholder who might desire to be present an
opportunity of witnessing the progress making in the
construction of the work which they have undertaken,
and which is of world-wide fame, reflecting credit alike
upon the proprietors, the engineer by whom it was de-
signed, and th- --t.-
conclusion, your directors now merely re-
peat their undiminished confidence in the undertaking,
and they look forward LI the period, not many months
distant, when they hope to have the satisfaction of con-
gratulating their fellow-shareholders upon their ship
being afloat and ready for a trial trip."
Their being no business to transact, the proceedings
then terminated.

ROYAL SURREY GARDENS COMPANY.

The following is the first report of the directors of the
Royal Surre3, Gardens Company :
" The directors of the Royal Surrey Gardens Company
(Limited) have called the shareholders together at a pe-
riod earlier than required by the deed of settlement of
the company, being anxious to show the result of their
past management, and to take the opinion of the share-
holders for their gui lance in future operations.
" The original prospectus of this company detailed the
grounds upon which the intentions of the promoters were
based, and to that prospectus the directors refer, in full
confidence that every statement of fact and intention has
been strictly adhered to.
" The concert ball which has been erected is faultless
in its general purpose, unrivalled for its acoustic proper-
ties, and for the full development of musical art. The
gardens and grounds are not unworthy of the building,
and when it is considered that on the Ist March last not
a brick marked the spot where the hall now stands, whilst
the gardens were comparatively a wilderness, the share-
holders will allow that some energy must have been dis-
played to open them to the public in the month of July,
as they now appear. Although the summer was far ad-
vauced, and the inhabitants of London were quitting,
town, the result of the season, short as it has been, ena-
bles the directors t ) announce the complete success of
the Royal Surrey Gardens Company.
"From the opening to the last day of September con-
tinued prosperity has attended the Royal Surrey Gar-
dens. The inauguration festival will not be forgotten.
The "Messiah" and "Elijah" were produced on a scale
till then unattempted, and the directors refer to these
performances, ueiversally admitted to have been the
finest on record. From the 15th of July to the close of
the season music of the highest cloaracter has been given.
Under the able guidance of M. Jullien, the sublime pro-
ductions of Mendelssohn, Beethoven, Haydn, Mozart,
and other composers of established fame, have been ren-
dered by Mesdames Alboni, Clara Novello, Gassier,
Dolby, Rudersdorff, Fiorentini, Mr. Sims Reeves, and
Herr Formes, whilst Bottesini, Piatti, and Sivori, in
addition to an efficient chorus, directed by Mr. Laud,
have given effect to the music. The orchestra which
now claims the Royal Surrey Gardens as its home,
directed by M. Jullien, has become faultless in exe-
cution, and numbers daily in its ranks Koenig, Duheme,
Hughes, Lavigne, Collinet, Sonnenberg, Hardy, De-
munck, Schreurs, Willy, and others, whose superiors
were never heard at any place of amusement. Crowded
audiences have listened with eager attention to refined
and delicate, or sublime and grand music, and by enthu-
si tstio applause bava testified their appreciation of its
beauties and their own gratification.
"The grand tableaux of Constantinople and the Alps,
painted by Mr. Denson, are unrivalled as artistic dis-
plays ; they are worthy of the artist and of the Royal
Surrey Gardens, whilst the magnificent fireworks by
Mr. Southby have surprised and delighted the public.
" The directors refer the shareholders to the first pub-
lished calculations of receipts and expenditure upon
which this company was launched to the public, and they
refer to them with pleasure, as they are now enabled to
show that every promise of profit has been realised.
"After defraying every cost connected with the com•
pany from the 15th of July to the 10th of October, there
remain a clear profit upon the earnings sufficient to pay
a dividend upon the paid-up capital of the company of 5
per cent. for the half-year ending Jan. 1 next ; and the
directors recommend such dividend to be declared. The
ability to declare and pay such a dividend solely from the
earnings of 10 weeks proves the solidity of the calcula-
tions and the genuineness of the expectations which the
promoters held out, and is an earnest of the much larger
profits which next year may fairly be reckoned to yield.
" The directors wish to state that the strictest eco-
nomy has been used in every practicable way, and no
expense has been incurred that could be avoided. They
have endeavoured to place the Royal Surrey Gardens
Company in its proper position as one of the legitimate
companies that the law of limited liability has brought
foi tb, combining the profitable employment of capital
with the improvement of the tosople in musical taste, and
giving rational entertainment and amusement at prices
within the reach of all.
"The directors believe that from the nse of the music
ball during the winter season a considerable revenue may
Is derived. Arrangements are in pralarr,tion for musical
performance, and for choral and madrigal gatherings.
For pubic dinners and meetings requiting a large area
it is peculiarly suited, as there is no building in London
capable of holding so large an audience.
" The directors, anxious to carry out to the fullest ex-
tent the project which has been so satisfactorily corn
menced, are using every effort to render the next summer
season, from May to September, equal to the require-
ments of the public and the expectations of the share-
holders. They seek to organise amusements for the
thousands who, before the commencement and during
the intervals of performance in the music hall, would
enjoy the diversified entertainments which may be
brought forward.

"The past season has partially proved the capabilities
of the culinary and refreshment departments. With
some judicious improvements and alteration a very

Theodusia, and Kertch every-week.
5. Between Odessa, Kinbourn, Oschakoff, Nicolaieff,
and higher up the Boug if necessary ; every week.
6. Between Odessa, Kinburn, Oschakoff, and Cherson,
and higher up the Dnieper if necessary; every week.
7. Between Kertch, Marioupol, Berdiansk, Eisk, and
Taganrog ; every week.
8. Between Kertch and Tamar ; as often each day as
necessary.
9. Between Ovidiopol aed Akermann, along the Liman
of the Dniester ; as often daily as necessary.
10. Between Odessa, Constantinople, the islands of
Syra, Pirmus, Messina, Naples, Leghorn, Genoa, and
Marseilles ; about 18 trips annually.
11. Between Odessa, Constantinople, the islands of
Syra, Zante, Cephalonia, and Corfu ; Bari, Ancona, and
Trieste ; about 13 trips annually.
The above lines are to be opened by degrees, but
in five years the whole must be in regular opera-
tion. The company are also to have the right of
establishing steam tugs on the Dnieper, Boug, and
Don, and on the seaboard. They may likewise
open an insurance department for the insurance of
any merchandise conveyed by their own vessels.
The steamers hitherto employed by the Government
in keeping up postal and commercial communica-
tions are to be taken by the company at a valuation,
the amount to be paid in five annual instalments
without interest. Any unoccupied Government
lands that may be required for wharves, quays,
warehouses, &c., are to be granted rent free.
Schools may also be established for the education of
pilots, engineers, and mechanics. The company
are to rank as belonging to the first guild, and are
to receive the following extraordinary rates of
subsidy :
Between Odessa, Constantinople, Athens, Smyrna,
Rhoden, Alexandretta, Beyrout, Joppa, and Alexandria,
5 s. r. 22 cop. per mile,t or about 16s. 7d. sterling.
Between Odessa, Yalta, Redout Kaleh, and Kertcb,
4 s. r. 56 cop.
Between Odessa and Galatz, 4 s. r. 84 cop.
Bet ween Odessa, Eupatoria, Sebastopol, Theodosia,
and Kertch, 3 s. r. 25 cop.
Between Odessa, Kinburn, Oschakoff, and Nicolaieff,
3 s. r. 631 cop.
Between Odessa, Kinburn, Oschakoff, and Cherson,
3 s. r. 201 cop.

Between Kertch, Marioupol, Berdiansk, Eisk, and
Taganrog, 2 s. r. 501 cop.
Between Odessa and Marseilles 3 s. r. 49/ cop.
Between Odessa arid Trieste, 4 s. r. 74 cop.
These payments are to continue for 10 years. At
the expiration of that period they are to be reduced
5 per cent. per annum for 10 years, so that at the
end of 20 years they will amount to 50 per cent. of
the original sum. In all except unavoidable cases
the company are to pay a fine of 12 s. r. for every
hour's delay in starting, and of 1,000 s. r. for ttJuch-
ing at ports out of their course. In addition to the
~,,hq;(l37 tht. +. pay 61000 s. r.
annually for 20 years for repair us- ,
and the company are likewise to have an exclusive
grant of anthracite coal mines on the banks of the
Don. All military and civil governors and Russian
Consuls abroad are to give them their highest sup-
port and protection. Tne capital of the company at
the commencement is to be 6,000,000 s. r. (about
1,000,0001. sterling), in
.20,000 shares of 300 8. r.
each, of which half is to be paid up at once. Sub-
sequently it may be raised to 9,000,000 s. r. As a
further special encouragement the Government
subscribe for one-third of the original shares, and
forego all dividend on them for the first five years.
Great part of the business of the company being
coasting trade, in which, by the existing laws, fo-
reigners are not allowed to participate, none but
Russian subjects are to be permitted to become
shareholders. Upon the organisation of the com-
pany being completed they are to commence ope-
rations forthwith, by the purchase of steamers and
other necessary arrangements. During the first
year the head office is to be at St. Petersburg, but
it may afterwards be transferred to Odessa. The
founders, MM. Nicholas Arkas captain of the first
rank and flugel-adjutant, and Nicholas Novoselsky,
councillor in the civil service, are to receive 1,000
s. r. (1601.) per month, and at the end of five years
a grant of 330 shares each from the Government.
1 he business of the company, it is stated, is to be
transacted " upon a commercial footing." No
term is fixed for its duration, and it can be wound
up only by a decision of a majority of shareholders
holding three-fourths of the capital. The permanent
board will consist of six directors, of whom two
are to be nominated by the Government. The
main objects of the undertaking are obviously to
create under the show of a commercial company
large fleets of Government ships and transports in
the neutral waters of the Black Sea, and at the same
time by high bounties to prevent foreign com-
petition on equal terms, and thus to keep the whole
traffic of that region in Russian hands or under
Russian surveillance.

* If expedient and practicable this line will be hereafter
changed to a communication between Odessa, Yalta,
Kt-nick], Redout Kaleh, and further on to the ports of the
Anatolian coast, as far as Constantinople, to meet and ex-
change passengers and cargoes with the steamers of a new

line of communication wCi-ich in that case will be formed
between Odessa, Oalatz, and further on between the ports
on the Rouwelian coast as far as Constantinople.
t It is believed nautical miles are intended.

Advice 3 from St. Petersburg mention that, although
the rate of exchange is nearly at a point to attract gold
from this country, none is for the moment expected. In
a short time there will be less probability of its trans-
mission, since the steamers will cease to run, and there
will be only the expensive overland medium.
ENGLISH DEAD LETTERS IN THE UNITED STATES
The number of "dead letters" from foreign countries
that have accumulated in the post-offices in the United
States during the past three months is very large, em-
bracing 150,000 from England, 7,500 from Canada, 5,374
from Cologne, 2,617 from Bremen, 439 from Nova
Scotia, and 819 from New Brunswick. These letters
will be returned by the Asia, Every means were used
to have them delivered to the persons to whom they
were addressed, but wibhout success, and this is probably
in a great measure owing to the fact that the miijority
of emigrants, immediately on landing, make their way

CANTERBURY HALL—This is the last week of the

Hungarian Band at this well-conducted place of enter-
tainment. After a highly successful engagement, con-
tinued for no less than six months, they put in their last
appearance on Saturday evening, and we earnestly
counsel those who have not as yet heard their extraor-
dinary performance to avail themselves of the short
time yet remaining before they bid farewell to London.
The spirited proprietor (An C. Morton) will not, how-
ever, permit his patrons to suffer by their de-
parture. Ho has already made ample provision
for their entertainment. His staff of vocalists
was never more complete. Those who were
starring in the provinces during the summer months
have returned to their old allegiance, and Sam
Cowell, Herr Jonghmans, Mackie, St. Clair Jones, and
other well known singers lend their potent aid in tick-
ling the ears, an the excellent host does his utmost in
pleasing the palate by his admirable cuisine and undeni-
able cellar. Mr. Morton has well merited the abundant
success he has attained. Sam Cowell has introduced a

THE RUSSO-MOLDAVIAN BOUNDARr.

The following letter, by the "Hertfordshire In-
cumbent," has been addressed to a contemporary :
In common with many who took a lively inte-
rest in the terms on which the late war was con-
cluded, I was unable to make out in a satisfactory
manner the course taken by the proposed boun-
dary ; but I concluded, of course, that the parties
immediately concerned in determining it had be-
fore them authentic local information which was
not generally accessible. If, however, the present
proceedings of the Russian Government are cor-
rectly represented this certainly could not have
been the case; on the contrary, the ignorance
Wit 111n11 42.1. a

out-of the way locality must have been wilfully
abused for the purpose of evading the main object
of negotiation—the security of the free navigation
of the Danube.
The fact is, that the whole coast of the Black
Sea, from the northern mouth of the Danube to
that of the Dnicater, is fringed with a series of lakes
(or linians) at the outlets of the steppe rivers.
Their connection with the sea and with one another
is a very variable one. In the spring and early sum-
mer the strong floods produced by melting snow
and ice force a passage hero and there, and the salt
lake becomes a portion of the sea ; at other periods
strong easterly winds deposit large quantities of
detritus, and the result is either along bar, or in
some cases, an absolute closure of the neck of the
gulf. The sea-loch becomes a salt lake, or salt
marsh, excessively unhealthy, but very valuable
from the abundance of salt which it furnishes ; the
streams which run into it, when not mere channels
for surface drainage, partaking not uncommonly of
a strong saline character.

Of tlris changeable nature of the coast in question
it really seems that advantage has been taken by
our new allies to secure their object clandestinely.
In Western Europe I suspect that no better autho-
rity exists for the nature of the locality than the
old French map of Zanuoni, " Carte de la partie
Septeutrionale de l'Empire Otoman, 1774." No
doubt much more accurate charts exist in the Rus-
ian archives, but there has been nothing in the
course of events to call the attention of other na-

tions to that part of Europe. Now, in Zannoni's
map, the Salsig Liman appears altogether separated
from the Bourna Soula. The former is the estuary
(if one may use such a word where there is no such
thing as tides) at the mouth of the or
Tartar River, as it was called, from flowing through
the territory of the Budziack Tartars. The latter
is another estuary some 25 miles to the eastward,
unmistakeably fixed in site by a Tartar village and
mosque on the banks of it, having the same name,
although perhaps hardly recognisable in the altered
form, Burneseul, which it bears in the Austrian
map.
Front the nature of the coast nothing is, indeed,
more probable than that the more eastern of these
two estuaries has in the course of the last seventy
years become connected with the western, and also
with several intermediate humus of the same kind.
Such, indeed, is the idea suggested by the last
Admiralty chart ; and a similar process has cer-
tainly taken place in several other localities of the
same coast. Now, here was a favourable opportu-
nity for a piece of sharp practice. Bourna Souls
means the same thing as Salsi,7 Liman--viz., salt-
marsh ; and by the course of natural operations the
two have become included in the same lagoon.
Hence the simplest of problems for a pettifogging
attorney—find any point on the Euxino three-
quarters of a mile to the east of any point of the
new lagoon, and you may call it to the east of the
Bourna Souls, although the true Bourna Soula is at
least a day's journey to the east of it.
The reader who is familiar with the south coast
of England will the better understand this pretty
arrangement by supposing a proposition made to
divide England by a line drawn perpendicular to the

If the Czar's Ministers have really pursued such
a course in the peace negotiations, as appears to
bavo been the case, Englishmen can never be
thankful enough for that excellent custom which
has saved their representatives in Paris and Mos-
cow from the misfortune of receiving Russian de-
corations. There is only too much dirty work
done in the lower regions of our own domestic
politics ; but the must successful labourer in that
field is still a long way off expecting the blue
