NEW TIMATRES WANTED.

"An Elderly Baronet," in a letter to a contemporary,
says :—" I have three daughters of marriageable age, and
one son still at Eton. I have no complaint against them.
They are good and dutiful children, but the noise they
make after dinner has a disturbing influence upon the
tranquillity of mind which I am always desirous to enjoy
at that season. When the boy is at home—an event which,
I cannot help observing, recurs rather too frequently to
comport with a studious life—their incessant chatter and
the sounds which they make in their various games en-
tirely puts to flight all philosophical speculation, and pre-
vents my maturing those thoughts which 1 have hoped
might earn for me the gratitude of my country when com-
municated to the public by oratorical moans from my place
in Parliament.

"It has been suggested to an ingenious friend of mine,
in like circumstances, that we might obtain a brief respite
from the uproar made by our posterity if we sent them all
off to the theatre, under the escort of their governess and
an uncle just returned from India, with a keen appetite
for pleasure. But, after anxious inquiry, lam credibly in-
formed that there is no theatre within many miles of my
residence, and that in order to accomplish my object with
propriety, I should be obliged to put into requisition all
the resources of my establishment, and forward them to
their destination in my carriage, as well as the brougham.
I have, therefore, been compelled to abandon a hope which
promised me much happiness and tranquillity ; for it is
rather too serious a thing to send three horses and four
servants rushing about on wet or :frosty nights to take a
few children to the play and bring them home again. Is
it not just possible that it might be a profitable as well as
a convenient thing to establish a well-conducted theatre in
some habitable quarter of this metropolis ?"

METROPOLITAN BANK (LLUITED).

The first ordinary general meeting of the proprie-
tors of this bank was held yesterday at the Loudon
Tavern—Alderman Sir R. W. Carden in the chair.

The following report was presented and adopted :
"after making provision for bad and doubtful
debts, for interest paid to consumers, as well as
rebate and current expenses, the profit and loss ac-
count exhibits a balance of £12,392 Gs. Gd. (out of
which an interim dividend at the rate of 5 per
cent. per annum was paid to the 30th June last), a
result which, considering the low rate of interest
during the last year, will, it is hoped, be deemed
satisfactory. The directors recommend that a di-
vidend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum (free of
income tax) be declared, leaving £2,392 6s. 6d. to
be carried to the credit of profit and loss new ac-
count."

THE ALLIANCE BANK (LIMITED.)

The general meeting of the shareholders of this
bank was held yesterday, at the City Terminus
Hotel, Mr. Chaytor in the chair.
The report of the directors has already appeared.
The Chairman, in moving its adoption, said
that up to the 20th of December the directors
were pleasing themselves with the idea that the
report would show a slow but certain and sure
progress in the advancement of the affairs of the
bank, but on that day it was announced that bad
debts had been incurred in Liverpool which de-
stroyed all their hopes. But in justice to their
colleagues at Liverpool, ho was bound to say that
up to or at the present time the business of that
branch had been managed with the greatest care.
(Hear, hear.) It is doubly unfortunate that this
loss should have been incurred at the present time,
when money is so low ; at any other period the loss
would have been comparatively unimportant. The
profits on the Liverpool branch were £7,400 during
the last half-year, and the bad debts £6,900.

CANDLES, GLYCERINE, and SOAP.--A Gold Medal was awarded at the Paris Exhibition to
Price's Patent Candle Company Limited, for " Candles,
Glycerine, and Soap"—the only one to any British exhibi
tor for these three things combined. The chief Candles of
the Company are their "BELMONTINE" and "PRICE'S
PARAFFINE" for those who must have the extreme
transparency of pure Paraffine ; their "GOLD MEDAL
PALMITINE" and " SHERWOOD PALMITINE," for
those who, while desiring candles of great beauty, require
also steady brilliancy of light and freedom from smoke
and smell; their good old-fashioned "BELMONT SPERM
AND WAX," and "BEST" "No. 2," "No. 3," and
"BATTERSEA" COMPOSITES for those who require
only perfect burning without caring for transparency; and
their "CHAMBER" Candles, hard, and of small diameter,
to avoid the dripping of grease when cared. Tho it new
toilet soap, "PRICE'S SOLI DIFIE i) GLYCERINE" con-
tains half its weight of their distilled Glycerine, and should
be the one toilet soap in use, especially in winter, because of
its admirable effects in preventing chapping of the hands and
face. There ought also to be in every house one of the sealed
bottles of their patent distilled Glycerine, known every-
where as " PRICE'S GLYCERINE,"• two or three drups
of which, mixed with three or four times as much water,
will in a day or two remove chapping and roughness of
skin, whether of adults or children ; and when this is
effected, a single drop of the undiluted Glycerine applied
once a day will prevent the recurrence of the chapping and
roughness. insist on having " Price's Glycerine" in the
Company's own sealed bottles, quantities of cheap impure
Glycerine being now sold in the shops because of the low
rate at which the dealers can buy it in comparison with
Price's. All the good medical authorities abroad as well
as at home order " PRICE'S" as the only Glycerine to be
used.

" PRICE'S NEW PATENT NIGHT LIGHTS" for
burning in the wide glasses, are believed to be the very
best Night Lights made. " PRICE'S CHILD'S NIGHT
LIGHTS" are known everywhere, and are excellent for
burning without a glass.

COMMITTAL OF QUIGLEY, THE LIVERPOOL MURDERER

Thomas Quigley, who recently murdered his wife at Liver-
pool in the most cold-blooded and atrocious manner, has
been committed by the Liverpool magistrates for wilful
murder. The facts of this case have recently been ~übl-
ished.

"In consequence of the deficient corn harvest,"
says the Moscow Gazette, " the position of Polish Galicia
is frightful. The population is threatened with a famine.
The representatives of that province have solicited a
Vienna a loan of a million of florins (2,000,000 f.) ; but
the Austrian finances are in such a critical state that
the urgent request has not been taken into con.sidera-

THE CORONERSHIP FOR WESTERN MIDDLESEX.
—Dr. Whitmore, the medical officer of health for St.
Marylebone, who was one of the candidates for the vacant
coronership of Western Middlesex, has signified his inten-
tion of withdrawing from the contest. At a conference
of his friends and supporters it was found, it [is said, that
after deducting necessary expenses the net emoluments
of the office would not exceed £350 per annum, whilst
the election could not be contested for less than £1,500 or
£2,000.

GUNNERY ExPEßimENTs.—Considerable interests
will be felt in the experiments which took place at Shoe-
bnryness on Wednesday and Thursday, especially in the
first trial then made by the proposed new muzzle-loa.ding
field-pieces, which will probably supplant the present
Armstrong breech-loaders. A further attack with nine-
inch Palliser shot and shell was also made on the Gibraltar
shield with no better results for it than formerly, except in
the hold the Palliser main three-inch bolts obtained through
the additional washers and wood tubing applied to the
shield after its failure in its original state of construction.
FENIAN BONDS.—" P. H. 5.," in the Morning
Herald, tells a good story apropos of Fenianism. A
gentleman of his acquaintance employed a widow, whose
son wishing to emigrate, the gentleman assisted him to do
so. The son regularly remitted money to his mother, till
last year a letter came, containing a printed document,
The letter was taken, as usual, to the master to read, who
found that the money had not been remitted because the
son had invested in Fenian bonds, chargeable on the
master's estate. As the master had been kind to the
family, however, when the writer took possession he was
going to allow him to reside at the gate lodge. It is stated
that the Duke of Leinster's estate has been parcelled out
and sold at least twice over.

THE REAPING MACHINE. —The testimonial sub-
. cribed among Scotch agriculturists and others to the
Rev. Patrick Bell, minister of Cannylie, Forfarshire, for
his invention of the "first efficient reaping machine" was
presented at Edinburgh by the Marquis of Tweeddale. The
gift consisted of a salver, bearing a suitable inscription,
and an engraving of Bell's reaping machine, and of
a sum of money, which Mr. Scott Skirving, on the part of
the committee, stated only fell short of £l,OOO by about
£9O or RM. The noble chairman said that, so highly did
he appreciate Mr. Bell's invention, he would be happy to
make up the sum to £l,OOO. Mr. Bell, in acknowledging
the gift, said it was just forty years since he came to
Edinburgh to exhibit the model he had construrted of a
machine to save the labour of the reapers. The original
model, the property of the Highland Society, waa exhibited
on the table.

THE FENIAN OUTRAGES.

The prisoner Lennon, who was arrested a few days since,
has been committed for trial on a charge of high treason,
for having led the Fenians in the rising at Stepaside. He
has also been identified by Sergeant Kelly as the man who
wounded him on the 31st of October, the night that Kelly
and Kenna, who has died from the wound, were shot at.

Another attempt to use Greek fire has been made at Cork.
At about 9.30 at night a bottle was thrown at the head of
a gentleman passing through North Main-street. It re-
bounded on the pavement, and ignited. No mischief was
done. It is supposed the man was mistaken for a detec-
tive or an informer. The miscreant was not secured.

The report of the visiting justices has been laid before a
meeting of the Middlesex magistrates. It states that part
of the roof of the Clerkenwell House of Detention was
much shaken by the recent explosion. In accordance with
the recommendation of Mr. Hardy, the justices have re-
solved to advise the purchase of all the houses in the neigh-
bourhood of the prison, so that at least no outlying building
shall command the walls. A letter was read from the
Home Secretary complimenting Mr. Pownall on his energy
and promptitude in attending to a caution received from
the Home Office just before the explosion, and thus
frustrating the attempt to rescue Casey and Burke.

ACTION BY AN ACTRESS FOR THE Loss OF HER
WARDROBE.—At the Stoke-on-Trent County Court
on Wednesday the North Staffordshire Railway Company
were sued by
Miss Eliza Clayton, an actress, for £lO da-
mages, sustained by the loss of her wardrobe when iu
charge of the company. On the 21st October last Miss
Clayton, who had been playing an engagement at the
Tunstall Theatre, left Bursletn for Liverpool, where she
was under an engagement for 11 nights. She had with
her three packages, containing the wardrobe required fur
the characters, and which wore proved to have been dis-
tinctly addressed. When Miss Clayton arrived at Crewe,
where she changed trains, she found her luggage was
gone, and it appeared that it had been put in the Man-
chester part of the train, which had been divided at Hare-
castle, and her packages had been sent on to Manchester.
Situ was obliged to throw up her engagement iu conse-
quence of taking a severe cold on the day of her arrival in
Liverpool, where she was running all day between the
railway station and the theatre in search of her luggage.
The value of the purchased costumes was £5 10s., and the
balance of the £lO claimed was made up of personal ex-
penses. She further risked an action for breach of con-
tract in giving up her engagement. Her lost luggage
came to her on tho 22d October, when it was too late to
be of use for her Liverpool engagement. At the sugges-
tion of the judge, it was agreed to take a verdict for the
plaintiff for .£5.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 25f. 17ic. per .C 1 sterling.
On clinparing these rates with the English Mint price 01
iis. 10icL per ounce for standard gold, it appears that
gold is about the same price in London and Paris.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills
at 60 days' sight is about 1091 per cent. At this rate there
s no profit on the importatiN (if gold from the United
States.

LONDON JOINT STOCK BANK.

- r -

Tha ordinary half-ye irly meetin,r; of the proprie-
tors of this bank was held yesterday, in the board-
room of the bank, Princes-street, Mansion Howe,
under the presidency of Mr. J. Knowles.

The report, which was read by Mr. Burrows,
the secretary, states :—" The directors have much
pleasure in placing before the shareholders the
annexed statement of the liabilities and assets of
the bank and of the profit and loss account for the
half-year ending the, 31st ultimo, by which it will
be seen that the bank has made a net profit of
£63,102 4s. ld., including £2,175 18s. 4d. brought
forward from the 30th June ; this sum, together
with £4,397 15s. 11d. taken from the guarantee
fund, the directors have appropriated in payment
of the usual dividend at the rate of 12i per cmt.
per annum. In pursuance of the resolution of the
general meeting of the 25th July last the issue of
the remaining 8,000 new shares has been made, and
the directors have the satisfaction to acquaint the
proprietors that the subscribed capital of the bank
is now four millions, divided into 80,000 shares of
£5O each, paid up to the extent of £l5 per share,
thus making the paid up capital of the bank
£1,200,000 entitled to participate in the profits
from the Ist of January. The guarantee fund,
in accordance with the resolution of the meeting
held on the 12th July last, has been credited with
£BO,OOO, the amount of premium upon the above
8,000 shares, and now amounts to £418,509 Os. 5d."
The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, hoped
that the accounts would be deemed satisfactory
when the depressed state of the commercial world
during the last six months was taken into account.
The directors had completed the issue of 8,000
shares. The £200,000 of additional capital would
participate in profits from the Ist inst. The bank
had made no bad debts during the past half-year.
Mr. G. T. BROOKING seconded the motion, which
was carried unanimously, and
A dividend at the rate of 12k per cent. per annum
having been declared, free of income tax,
The retiring directors were unanimously re-
elected, and the proceedings terminated in the cus-
tomary manner.

FRANCE.

" Public beneficence in Paris," says the Droit,
keeps pace with the wants of the destitute. The
twenty soup kitchens of the Prince Imperial distri-
bute daily from 40,000 to 50,000 portions. Thanks
to the aid given by the Civil List, each portion,
consisting of bread, meat, soup, and vegetables,
costs only 5 cents. The kitchen of St. Ouen, where
the greatest wretchedness prevails, distributes gratis
daily, in the Emperor's name, upwards of 2,000
rations. His Majesty is not satisfied with making
personal sacrifices for the succour of thepoor during
the rigours of winter ; he has invited the co-opera-
tion of the city of Paris, which has ordered the
establishment of additional kitchens in the sth,
11th, 12th, 13th, 19th, and 20th arrondissements.
The city, besides, distributes fuel in large quantities
at the various offices of public charity, and the
quantity of bread supplied to families who are
assisted has been increased."
