THE QUARTERLY DIVIDENDS.—Yester•
day the dividends that became due on the sth instant, on
the sever 41 portions of the public debt, the transfer book•
of which have been closed for the last five week., com-
menced paying at the Bank of England. The attendance
of the public was mare numerous than on any similar oc-
casion, for some time past. In the etrly part of the after-
noon the Dividend Warrant Pay Office was so much
crowded, that the applicants for dividends were three and
four deep in front of the counters over which the money is
paid. The London Bankers signed on Tuesday, for the
amount of dividends due to them, in their character as
Banking firms, The dividends were due upon 3 per Cents.,
the Old and New 3i per Cents., &c., and India Stock.

A general meeting of the subscribers to
LLOYD'S took place yesterday morning at 11 o'clock, Al-
derman THOMPSON in the chair. Mr. WILLIS opened
the business of the meeting by moving that authority be
given to the Committee to allow the agents of the Marine
Insurance Companies to extract the shipping intelligence
received every morning at LLOYD'S Coffee-house, on the
payment of such sum as may be agree upon. The mo-
tion was seconded, and a long discussion on the subject
took place. The debate was at length put an end to by
the motion for wijournrnent, which was carried almost
unanimously. Mr. MARSHAL gave notice of a motion for
the next niee'ing, for the appointment of a Committee of
twenty four gentlemen, to investigate and amend all the
by-laws, and the other regulations of the eatablishmtnt, and
the meeting then adjourned.
MR. AND MISS KEMBLE.,—The Boston
Atlas of Wednesday says, " The paragraph we published
yesterday respecting the causes which are likely to prevent
the appearance of Mr. KEMBLE and his daughter before
a Boston audience we learn from the manner of the
theatre is erroneous. Instead of 8,000 dollars for the
month of December, Mr. KxatiaLE was first offered the
certainty of double the amount per night that was ever be-
fore required by any star or stars who have visited Boston.
This proposition being declined, another offer was male
him, predicated upon the receipts of the houses, which,
hail they been equal to those of former occasions—and
there is no doubt they would have been greater •••11r.
KEMBLE might have received more than the sum of 8,000
dollars. The proposition of Mr. KEMBLE that he would
take half the receipts was acceded to by the manager, as
we stated yesterday. Then came the requisition for the
premiums, and the demand that the Federal-street Theatre
should be closed. Every person whom we have seen
applauds the firmness of the manager in refusing to submit
to such exorbitant exactions."—New York Gazette.

Mr. PRICE, the American Manager, is now
occupied making his engagements in this country for his
theatres in the United States. While the stage is too
much neglected here, it flourishes in an unprecedented
degree in America. CHARLES KEMBLE and his daughter
have profited considerably by their transatlantic trip, and
have enriched the treasury of the manager.
THE STRING OF PEARLS, BY G. P. R.
JAMES, ESQ.-" Many men, many minds; this is fortu-
nate in most instances, but in none more than in point of
literary taste; while one reader will rove delightedly
through the pleasant paths of poesie', another will prefer the
more actual scenes in pose. We have beard of one of our
high legal dignities, one who delights not in Lord BYRON,
and declares he never read Sir WALTER Scorr, say that
his great enj tyment lay in the Arabian Nights.' such
a taste will be gratified ro the 4tmost by the String of
Pearls.' The volumes consist of tales which carry us back
to the days when our study was the window-seat, or the
shadow of some old tree, when we believcd in the
Travels of Gulliver,' and never doubted the identity of
Robinson Crusoe.' We are greatly pleased with the
volumes before us; there is much variety of adventure,
with a due nuntb,r of Princesses in distress, rescued by
brave and handsome Princes. A rich vein of fancy runs
through the whole, and the descriptions are as gorgeous as
the East to which they belong. Mr. JAMES has been very
happy in the choice of his locale; India has as yet been
little made the territory of fiction.".—Neso Monthly
Magazine.
