MARRIAGES.

91,726 persons married in the quarter that ended
on September 30, 1865. The rate of marriage was
F 732, or 0.127 above the average.
The increase of marriages was general, but it was
striking in Yorkshire, where the woollen trade
flourished in an extraordinary degree ; Lancashire
was also recovering from its depression. In Lon-
don the marriages exceeded by nearly 1,000 the
marriages in the summer quarter of 1863.
London, England, 1866-02-06

REPORT.

The Directors have the pleasure to submit to the Share-
aolders a statement of accounts for the half-year ending
he 31st December, 1865.
From tho annexed audited balance-sheet, it will be seen

that the net profits during that period, after payment of all
charges, and after deducting rebate on unexpired subscrip-
tions, amount to £5,418 165., including 11,412 ss. 2d.
brought forward from the last account.
The Directors, therefore, declare a dividend for the half-
year at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, free of income-
tax, on the capital as paid up, which will absorb £1,804 45.,
and after placing £2,000 to a reserve fund, there will re-
main a balance of £1,574 6s. 11d., to be carried forward to

the next account.
It will be satisfactory to the Shareholders to know that,
with the exception of about 100 shares, all calls have been
fully met.
In addition to the extensive system of agencies, estab-
lished in all parts of the world for the purpose of obtain-
ing intelligence for the English press, branches have been
recently opened in Belgium, Holland, and Egypt for the
supply of telegrams to the press 'and merchants in those
countries, and are already doing a profitable business.
It has, moreover, been determined to establish imme-
diately a branch in India, where the Directors have reason
to believe there is a large field for the profitable extension
of the system so successfully inaugurated by Mr. Reuter.
The Ordinary General Meeting will, in future, be an-
nual, unless circumstances should render more frequent
meetings necessary; but the usual interim dividend will
be declared.

In conformity with Clause 57 of the Articles of Associa-
tion, Sir 3. C. D. Hay, Bart., retires from the Direction,
but being eligible, offers himself for re-election. Messrs.
Quilter, Ball, and Co., the Auditors appointed by the
Directors, also offer themselves for election.
The Dividend Warrants will bo forwarded to the Share-
holders on the 7th February next.

It is rumoured, with what truth we cannot
state, that the daughter of a prominent Confederate envoy
to Europo (John Slidell) who not long since married a
wealthy Frenchman (Erlanger) has left her husband and
come back to her father.

The late rebel General Crawford has arrived at
Brownsville, with authority from Juarez to recruit an
American division of troops for the Liberal army. Re-
cruiting offices havo been established at various points in
Texas, and the enrolment of men is progressing rapidly.
The Imperial commander Mejia, at ilatamoras, has become
alarmed at this movement, and is strengthening the de-
fences of the city in anticipation of an attack. Generals
Low. Wallace and Logan are reported as connected with
this project.

ENGLAND IN THE YEAR 1865.

The births returned in the year amounted to
747,870, and the birth-rate was 3.563 ; it is the
highest on record. The numbers will be carefully
revised at this office, for publication in the annual
report, but it is not likely that the birth-rate will be
sensibly reduced by the operation.
_ _

491,360 deaths were registered in the year, and
the death-rate was 2.341 ; that is, 0.125 above the
average of the 10 years 1856-64. To 18 deaths in
each of those years, out of the same number of
people 19 died last year. The mortality was ex-
cessively high throughout the year in Yorkshire and
Lancashire. In town and country the rate was
much above tho average in the winter quarter, near
the average in spring, and slightly above the ave-
rage in summer and autumn.

The excess of registered births over registered
deaths was 256,510, or 1.222 per cent. on the popu-
lation, which is the rate of recorded natural increase,
of which the results are modified according as emi-
gration sets in the strongest current inwards or
outwards.

The marriage returns of the last quarter of the
year are not yet in the office, but the marriage rate
of the year will,without doubt, be above the average.
This country was threatened, not only by cholera,
but by yellow fever in the year. The Hecla, from
Cuba, laden with copper ore, entered Swansea Har-
bour, lying between a low inhabited island and the
town, at 9 a.m. on Sept. 9, and landed James
Saunders, sick; he died in the course of the day.
On Sept. 23 the registrar of Swansea received the
certificate of the death of John Jesse by yellow
fever, and this certificate was sent by the Registrar-
General to the Council-office, who immediately,
through Dr. Buchanan, instituted a searching in-
quiry into the subject. Twenty-nine persons who
had been in or near the Hecla were attacked by the
fever, and 13 persons died of it in Swansea, one in
the Eleanor sloop, and one in Llanelly. The disease
did not spread by contagion, but it was apparently
induced by the diffusion of the fever miasin among
the people. Judicious measures were taken for re-
moving the llecla from the harbour, and for puri-
fying her foul interior. The last death by yellow
fever occurred on Bth October.

In this case, as well as in the invasion of South-
ampton by cholera, the importance of attention to
the hygienic condition both of our merchant vessels
and our seaports is clearly seen ; for a foul ship
instead of merchandise carries from land to land the
seeds of depopulating diseases, and a foul seaport
supplies the soil in which they rankly germinate.

It is rumoured, with what truth we cannot
state, that tho daughter of a prominent Confederate envoy
to Europe (John Slidell) who not long since married a
wealthy Frenchman (Erlanger) has left her husband and
come back to her father.

The late rebel General Crawford has arrived at
Brownsville, with authority from Juarez to recruit an
American division of troops for the Liberal army. Re_
cruiting offices have been established at various points in
Texas, and the enrolment of men is progressing rapidly.
The Imperial commander Mejia, at Matamoras, has become
alarmed at this movement, and is strengthening the de-
fences of the city in anticipation of an attack. Generals
Lew. Wallace aid Logan are reported as connected with
this project.

BUSINESS PROSPECTS OF THE SOUTHERN STATES.
—The Shreveport (Louisiana) News entertained the
opinion awhile back that business, the coming year,
would be, comparatively speaking, dull ; but from
indications that journal is happy to say it feels confi-
dent that there will be considerable activity mani-
fested in commercial transactions, and if there is
any falling off it will be but trifling, For this
assertion we have very good reasons. The small
farmer who heretofore raised but little cottonouble whatwM

one-half more. The same will be the case with

refe-
rence to their former circumstances,
themselves energetically, perseveringly, and indus-
triously, the future will be made as secure as it is
possible for the skill and labour of men to accom-
pwle aveishh.Further along, in the article from which
quoted, the Shreveport News says :—" We
have made it a business to converse with well-in-
formed gentlemen on the subject, and, from all that
can be gathered, we feel justified in so expressing
our opinion in regard to business prospects for next
year. One or two large planters informed us that
not one of their negroes had left them, or exhibited
any signs of dissatisfaction, though perfectly well
posted on the change of their social relations, and
that they judged the negroes were
perfectly con-
tented to remain on the plantations of their former.ll
masters. . . Further, persons have been and are still
renting hgarso:oritupgroved itself

COLONIAL.

TEA.—There has been very little business transacted,
operations having been deferred until the public sales,
which commence to-day, when about 21,400 packages will
be offered, 17,000 of which are without reserve.
SUGAR.—The market has remained very quiet ; superior
qualities of West India, however, fully support previous
rates. In the refined market there is no material change.,
COFFEE.—Thero has been a lair inquiry for Plantation
Ceylon, and full rates are current.
IticE.—Only a limited business has been entered into,
and there is no material alteration to report in value.
TALLOW.—The market has exhibited some considerable
excitement, owing to a pressure of speculative sales.
P.Y.C., on the spot, is quoted 47s 6d; March delivery,
48s ; and last three months, 49s 6d per cwt.

The East India and Irrigation Canal Company
have received advices from their manager and chief
engineer stating that labour has become very abun-
dant, and the works are therefore being pushed on
with extra vigour. The Governor-General and the
Lieut.-Governor of Bengal had promised and were
expected to visit the head works and canals during
the present month. The works were also progress-
ing very satisfactorily.
During the last few days there has been very
little animation exhibited in the Markets forYoreign
and Colonial Produce. The operations in tea have
been on a very restricted scale, the trade having de-
ferred their purchases until the public sales, which
commence to-day. Sugar has been in moderate
request, only superior descriptions having main-
tained former rates. Coffee has been in good
demand, and brought full prices, while rice has
been neglected, and a considerable decline at one
time took place in the value of tallow, consequent
upon speculative sales ; a slight recovery', however,
haa since transpired,

ing very satisfactorily.
During the last few days there has been very
little animation exhibited in the Markets for Foreign
and Colonial Produce. The operations in tea have
been on a very restricted scale, the trade having de-
ferred their purchases until the public sales, which
commence to-day. Sugar has been in moderate
request, only superior descriptions having main-
tained former rates. Coffee has been in good
demand, and brought full prices, while rice has
been neglected, and a considerable decline at one
time took place in the value of tallow, consequent
upon speculative sales ; a slight recovery, however,
has since transpired,

efforts unavailing I desisted. Tho ship was never
before the wind, except when she wore round for a
few minutes at the last. I went to the starboard
•pinnace, and was in her when she was lowered.
Five others were in her. I lowered her. I told
Smith to take his fall, and that as soon as the ves-
sel tacked to the leeward we would try to get clear
of the ship. Captain Martin had given an order to
lower the boat an hour earlier. The five of us de-
termined to try and save the boat and ourselves, of
course. The boat would have carried 50 passengers. I
letgo, Smith held on, and the boat went down head
foremost and sank. This was at one o'clock. We
all saved ourselves. The next thing we did was to
clear away the port pinnace. No one would assist
Smith and me, they thinking it was of no use. After
we left this boat others tried to get her out ; but
there were not enough to do it. After this Smith
and I agreed to go in the port gig. We put a bag
of bread in her, and a beaker of fresh water, hold-
ing about a quart, and three bottles of brandy and
two bottles of champagne, and then we were ready
to go. I then went to Captain Martin, and asked
him if he was going in her. He replied, "No,
King, I am not ; I am going to remain on board."
I then asked him the course to the nearest land
possible. He replied, " E.N.E., to Brest." I asked
how many miles I was off Brest. I understood
him to say " 90," but it was 190.
Captain Baker—Why do you think it was 190 ?
Witness—From what was told me by the captain
of the barque. We were before the wind for 20
hours, and we were more than 90 miles from land
when we were picked up.
To Captain Harris—Our course in the boat was
directly before the wind. Ido not know the direc-
tion of the wind. I steered by " the pointers"
(Ursa Major) all night N.E. It was starlight.
To Captain Baker—A few minutes after the boat
left the London I saw her go down.
At half-past four o'clock the court adjourned to
twelve o'clock this morning.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.
London, England, 1866-02-06

MADAME RACHEL takes this opportunity to
state that all persons in America presuming to style
themselves Enamellers and Restorers of Youth and Beauty
commit a gross fraud upon the Ladies of the United States,
as upon that great trial—Rachel v. Carnegie—it was proved
beyond a doubt that Rachel was and is the sole professor
of that beautiful art, of which her name stands tho marvel
of the age.-47a, New Bond-street.
