The half•yearly meeting of the St. Katharine Dock Com-
pany WAS held on Tuesday, at the Dock-house, Tower-hill,
for the purpose of announcing a dividend for the half-year
ending the 30th ult., and the election of Directors. The di-
vidend for the half-year is 24 ,
per cent. In answer to some
questions Mr. Tooke, the Chairman, said it was most satis-
factory to state that the business of the port of London, as
well as that of the St. Katharine Docks, had improved in the
Past half-year. In the six months ending the 30th June, the
number of loaded ships that entered the St. Katharine Docks
was 435, of the tonnage of 82,927 tons, showing an increase
over the returns of the corresponding period of 1843 of 60
ships, and 6,930 tons.

moved into the-navy, to 139 ;' making altogether 271.

WRlTEBAlT.—Whitebait, then, is only a little
means for acquiring a great deal of pleasure. Somehow it
is always allied with sunshine,—it is accompanied by jolly
friends and good humour. You rush after that little fish, and
leave the cares of London behind you—the row and struggle,
the foggy darkness, the slippery pavement where every man
jostles you, striding on his way, pre-occupied with care writ-
ten on his brow. Look out of the window—the sky is tinted
with a thousand glorious 'hues—the ships pass :silently over
the blue glittering waters—there is no object within sight
that is not calm, and happy; and beautiful: Yes! turn your
head a little, and there lies the Tower of London in the dim
smoky sunset. There lies- Care; Labour, To-morrow.—New

A STORY WITUOVT END.:--The Peishwah had a
beautiful daughter, as fair as Bhowanee, and as graceful
in form as young acacia; but the Icing, her, father, loved
her the more, perhaps, that she was.. his only daughte;;
and, although she was surrounded by suitors, he declared
that none should win her to his harem but he who could
tell a story without end, and those who failed should expiate
their presumption by the sword, and their heads should
adorn the battlements of the fort. Many tales were told;
and -though for many hours-the courtiers listened, sad
the king froWned and quaffed his kusurnba drought, still,
as did the smoke from the hookah of the prince, the tales
of the suitors ceased, and maay heads crowned the royal
tower ; until, at length, a young and handsome youth,
blooming as Crishna, knelt before the king, and, from the
outer edge of the carpet of respect, craved his attention.
"May it please your Highness," said the stranger, "a great
merchant had a field of grain,. and he built a storehouse
to secure it, but the rats get in, some thieves also, and
both stole and devoured the grain. The merchant built
another, like the topes (burial places) of Secunder's
(Alexander's) chiefs ; it was of stoup, • with 'walls to
the skies, and only a little hole at the top to look in
at ; and the merchant yielded -up his heart to joy,
fir he thought himself secure. 'Hut a flight of locusts
came, and flew in at the little hole, and they began to de-
vour his grain.; so the merchant °sent for the nakaras,
tomtoms, and sittars, and placed the musicians round
the walls, to frighten out the locusts ; (" Well,"
said the king)." and the musicians played loudly,
and louder still, and, at length, a locust flew out.
(" Well ?" inquired the king) and soon another
(" Well, well, proceed ;") and, again, one, more ; and
the youth continued his list of locusts, until the cup-
bearer fell asleep, and the kaliuns of the courtiers
dropped from their hands.; the king had slept, was
awake again, yet still the tale of the handsome youth
ceased not ; when, at length, the king, starting from his
cushions, exclaimed, " Cease. cease ! take my daughter,
and let its rest, for traly the story hath •no end."—

THE SHOOTING SEASON.—As the result of eaten-
iive inquiries throughout the north, we may state that
prospects for the moors have riot been better for the last
seven years. The birds are very numeraus, and there
cent rains have proved exceedingly'berieficial, coming,
as they did, at the-period of the young ones briAing the
shell. We understand that most of the Perthshire moors
are let, and the same is The vase with our more Highland
ones.—Northern Herald.
