LONDON DocKs.—The usual half-yearly meeting
of the Proprietors of the London Dock Company, was hell
yesterday, at their house, in Princes-street, in order to con-
sider of the dividend for the half year, elect Directors, and
receive the general report of the board. Mr. John Cattley
was in -the chair. Mr. J. D. Powles, after the minutes of the
last meeting had been read and confirmed, proceeded to read
the report for the six months ending the 31st of May. The Dock
returns during that period were 173,888/. Bs. 5d., including
the profit on the sale of London Dock stock held by the
COmpany ; the nett revenue from the business transactions
during the half year, being 160,1691. Is. Id. Important im-
provements had been effected in the warehousing and other
departments, especially in the West Quay, where four sepa-
rate warehouses were available. Owing to the increased
operations of the Company, the Directors were enabled to
recommend a further augmentation in the dividend, viz.: to
21. ss. per cent, for the half year, and which would still leave
a balance in favour of the Company of 4291. The Chairman
remarked, that the increased prosperity of the Company must
be a matter for congratulation with the Proprietors, and that
the efforts of, the Directors should continue to be directed to
the promotion of, their interests. The resolutian for the
adoption, of the report was put and carried, and it was an-
nounced that the dividend would be paid on the Bth instant.

WOOD PAVING IN THE vITY.-21. vOlll, . of
was held yesterday at Guildhall, at which about thirty Com -
missioners were present, including Sir P. Laurie, Mr. R. L.
Jones, Mr. Deputy Peacock, and Alderman Gibbs, who pre-
sided. The almost interminable question of wood-paving
again-came under discussion, in consequence of the attend-
ance of deputations from the inhabitants of Fleet-street and
St. Paul's Church yard, soliciting the confirmation of a reso-
lution for paving these great thoroughfares with wood, which
had been passed on the previous Court day. Mr. Deputy
Peacock moved that the resolution be rescinded; which
havin,, been seconded, Sir P. Laurie observed that he was
opposed to wood-paving, not only because it was unsafe, but
from a conviction that it would entail a greater expense than
stone on the citizens, and he, therefore, thought he was ren-
dering the inhabitants an essential service by supporting the
motion for rescinding the resolution. The motion was, after
some further observations, put and carried, thus deferring
wood-paving for the present. The deputation, consisting of
about fifty persons, retired, expressing disappointment at the
result, and deelaring their intention to procure the conven-
ing of wardmotes as early as possible.
A field of rye was cut at 'Worsens Lafitte, in the
neighbourhood of Paris, on Tuesday last. The Paris papers
say that there is no instance of so early a harvest for upwards
of 25 years.
