In Miscellaneous Securities Telegraph Shares in
request at improved prices.
The stun of £5,000 in gold was taken to the

The committee on tl

'egraphs Bill /resolved
on Saturday that the standing :orders ought to be
dispensed with, and that it should be permitted to
proceed " on a clause being inserted securing to
all existing telegraph companies, not having yet ar-
ranged with the Government, a right of arbitration
(failing agreement) as to the value of their present
rights
,and privileges." The bill is to be read a
second time on Tuesday next at two o'clock.
Although the Senate at Lisbon have agreed to
the bill for the new Portuguese Loan, the details of
the measure have yet to pass under their consider-
ation. The question as to the parties by whom it
will be introduced in London seems still to be un-
decided.
The report of the General Credit and Discount
Company (Limited), to be presented on the 26th
inst., announces a steady increase in the company's
business and connections, and recommends the usual
interim dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per an-
num. It adds as regards the claim of the company
upon the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway
there is now every prospect of a decision being ar-
rived at, but that the affair of the South-Eastern of
Portugal Railway remains in an unsatisfactory posi-
tion, the Portuguese Government having, as was
stated some months back, by an arbitrary act
taken possession of the line, purposing to pay the
railway company a sum of only about £528,000
for an expenditure (admitted and fixed by the
Portuguese Ministry in October, 1867) of
£1,212,518 of British capital, laid out for the ad-
vantage of Portugal, and in which no British
capitalist would have engaged but for the reliance
placed on the good faith of that country and on
the large am )unt of direct assistance, by way of
subvention or guarantees, which the Government
covenanted to give to the enterprise.
The report of the Metropolitan Bank (Limited),
to be presented on the 15th instant, shows an
available total of £12,161, including a previous
balance of £5,842, and recommends a dividend
at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, leaving
£7,161 to be carried forward. The deports hell
are £381,331, and the paid up capital is £200,000.
In the abstract given yesterday of the report of
the Alliance Bank it was stated that the deposits
held show a decrease of £242,626 from the corres-
ponding date of last year. The amount should have
been only £25,033.
It has been agreed by the Australian and New
Zealand Banks (with one exception) to adopt and
apply in future the re-exchange of 10 per cent. on
bills returned dishonoured from those colonies, in
stead of 20 per cent., the rate fixed about 30 years
ago, and which has long been looked upon as little
more than nominal. A recommendation will con-
sequently be made by the next outward mail for all
the colonial establishments to agree to a similar
charge in respect to dishonoured bills returned from
England. This alteration has become essential from
the short and regular mail service, the use of tele-
graphy, the altered condition of banking under in-
crease competition, and the enlarged facilities for
business. Indeed the rapidly extending commerce
of this country, from the advantages of steam com-
munication with all parts of the world, seems to de-
mand that the question of re-exchange with other
colonies and foreign countries should now undergo
revision. There are 8 and 10 per cent. rates with
the West Indies, 10 per cent. with the United
States, and not less than 25 per cent. with the
South American Republics.

S. L. llalliwell and Brothers, of Manchester, a com

HAYMARKET THEA7RE.

Early in October, ladies and gentlemen, we shall return
to London, and open this theatre with a new and original
comedy written by Tom Taylor, who has achieved so many
succeses on these boards ; and at Christmas Mr. Sothern
will again appear in a new and original comedy written
by Mr. Byron, and which comedy, if I am not mistaken,
will run, if not for the whole season, at least for the
greater part of it. (Cheers.) Dr. Westland Marston is also
at work for this house, and with other attractions that I
have in view, I still hope to merit your patronage.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, I respectfully bid you fare-
well until October, and in the name of my company thank
you for the good opinion you have always expressed of
their abilities ; and as I know we shall all carry with us
your good wishes, I can only in return wish you health,
happiness, and prosperity, and say, for a short time, Good-
bye. (Cheers and waving of handkerchiefs, which con-
tinued for some minutes.)

Mr. Buckstone's farce, " A Dead Shot," with the
jun. B. as Hector Timid, sent the audience laugh-
ing home.

On Saturday evening the universally esteemed
and great popular favourite, Mr. Buckstone, took
his benefit, and his host of admirers as usual
availed themselves of the opportunity of making the
closing night one of the most brilliant of the sea-
son. For sixteen years the theatre has been under
the management of Mr. Buckstone, and during the
whole of that long period, by his undeviating alle-
giance to the legitimate drama, he has not only
brought each of his seasons to a successful close,
but has increased ;the reputation of his theatre,
which now stands unapproached for the production
and representation of English comedy. The enter-
tainments cJnameneed with a revival of Peake's
comedy, " The flaunted Inn," Miss Bateman's new
drama, " Mary Warner," the lessee's annual ad-
dress, and the capital farce, " A Dead Shot."
The reception given by Mr. Buckstone when he
came forward to deliver his address was enthu-
thusiastic, and when the cheering subsided he spoke
as follows:
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,—As I am now in the 17th
year of my management of this theatre, and delivered as
many addresses as there have been years of my lesseoship,
I begin to feel at a loss what to say on these occasions,
except to refer to the past and anticipate the future. At
the termination of last season I stated that the theatre
would be thoroughly repaired and decorated. This you
will see has been done, and I hope to your satisfaction
and that of the proprietors. (Cheers. I also stated that
Miss Bateman would commence the present season with
her famous impersonation of Leah. The promise was ful-
filled, and with such success that the play ran from Octo-
ber till Christmas, varied only by the production, for a few
nights, of Dr. Mosenthal's "Pietra." (Cheers.) I also
promised that Mr. Sothern would return at Christmas,
which ho did, producing shortly after that time Mr.
Robertson's promised comedy of " Home," and
which was performed for one hundred and thirty-three
nights. (Cheers.) On Mr. Sothorn's departure for
the East, not to Egypt on a visit to the VicJroy,
but to Shoreditch, on a visit to one Douglass
(laughter)—Miss Bateman again appeared before you in
the new play of " Mary Warner," sustaiuiug a character
which will rank with her popular " Leah"—(eheers)—
and as that lady shortly departs for America, I mu sure
you will all wish her a safe and speedy passage, more
especially as at an early period she intends to return, and
I hope to this theatre.
Thus, ladies and gentlemen, you will acknowledge that
all my promises have not been made of the proverbial pie-
crust, and that none of them have been broken, not even
the promise that presented itself to me of a prosprous
season, which I assure you has been a pleasant fact,
and that I hope to see again accomplished next year—
(cheere)—but only with the aid of the legitimate perform-
ances of this house, in comedy, drama, and farce, without
any attempt at unnecessary glitter, nor even with the
allurement of the ballet, as the Lord Chamberlain's circu-
lar so alarmed me that I shall rarely venture on the at-
ractions of short skirts again. (Laughter.) Whether
other managers will follow my moral example—l cannot
say—l am afraid not.
Since I last addressed you three new theatres have been
built, and I believe successfully opened. How many more
are to spring up I do not know; but, however numerous
they may become, I feel assured that the little theatre in
the Haymarket, as it has been affectionately called since
the days of Foote, will be the last to suffer from any com-
petition whatever. We are an old-established house,
bearing a good character, and I hope occupied by a re-
spectable tenant. (Much cheering.)
With regard to the f uture, ladies and gentlemen, although
our season terminates this evening, the theatre will remain
open for a short time, as a supplementary one will be com-
menced under the auspices of Alias Amy Sedgwick, and
which will be continued by Mr. Humphrey Barnett until
the return of the Haymarket company in October. (Cheers.)
But you must not suppose that we intend to remain idle,
as we appear at the Theatres Royal, Liverpool, on Monday
next; thence to Manchester, Bradford, Newcastle-upon-
Tyne, Edinburgh, and Glasgow. You will thug see that
laziness is not one of the faults of this company, or of its
manager; indeed, I think with respect to that personage,
you may say with Dr. Watts, "How doth the busy little B
improve each shining hour." (Laughter and applause.) As
I have been before you, ladies and gentlemen, so many years,
I begin to fear that you will grow tired of my face. (No,
no.) Many people, I know, are not over fond of new faces,
yet whenever I may find talent worthy of your acceptance
I shall not hesitate to present it to you. But whether you
may grow tired of my old face or not, while I continue
here I shall always endeavour, under any circumstances
to put the best face on the matter. (Laughter and
appla usu.)
