The ell.ilßM %.N then proposed the following'
forma resolution
" That a dividend of 5/. per share on 25,000 Oa
shares, amounting to 123,00 a. ; of 11.35. upon 2r,,u V 4)
251. shares, amounting to 3i,2501.; of IL 12s. upon 31.2: 9,
321. shares, amounting to LO,OOO/. ; of 1:s. on 42,522
new 32/. shares, amounting to 36,142/. 165., be declared
on the C,,mpany's net protits to the 30th June last."
This resolution was of course carried with acelnma.
tion.

PARsoNs-begged to recommend for the eonsi•
deration of the Directors, the suggestion a opening
depots in different quarters of the to for the receipt
of parcels, &c., for the London and Birmingham.
Hallway.

The CHAIRMAN considered the suggeqion a very
valuable one, and assured the Hon. Proprietor that .it
should receive the best attention of the Court of IN-
rectors.

Mr. WALLACE threw out a hint for the.considera-
tion of the Directors, whether it would not he well t.
make the calls upon the Proprietors as light as poe.
Bible every year. Last year the call Was 20/. ; sup-
pose it was reduced to lot. or 5!.
The CHAIRMAN said the stibje& should receive the
attention of the Directors; az the same time he must
beg to observe that their • calls had been very light
indeed considering the magnitude of their undertak-
ing—(Cheers),--and when he was before -a Commit-
tee of the Muse of Commons, that fact did not es.
cape the observation of some of the Committee, who
observed, " You haYe strained your Act of Par Hit.
went to relieve your Proprietors.
A Paoratvroß, whose name we did not catch,
moved the warmest thanks of the Proprietors to the
Chairman and Board of Directors for their valuable
services.--(Cheers.)
The motion having been seconded,
The CHAIRMAN observed that an lion. Proprie r
had called them " fortunate ;" and he admitted that
they had been fortunate—fortunate in havirAg such a
very strong Proprietary, with whom he tr.;?,•ht safely
say, it had always been the pride and boast of the
Directors to act in co-operation. On the part of
himself and his colleagues, he begged to return theta
his very best thanks for the honour which they ha?.
been pleased to confer, upon them.—(Cheers.)
The meeting then separated, the whole of the pro.
ceediWr's not having occupied upwards of three qua r-
ters of an hour.

SUDDEN DEATH or AN ACTOR IN MR. CO'AiNg's
THEATRE, TRALEE.—At the close of the perf ornaamee
last evening at this theatre (the farce being ilk: -R
dezvous) we observed Mr. Blacker suddenly
quit n-
the
stage, and, though more than two minutes di.a -not elapse
from that time to the fall of the curtain, 1ift...1%113 extinct.
Collins, the manager, was behind the scenes time, and seeing Mr. Blacker come off: The Stage at a
time when he should have been on, and observing. there
'was something serious the matter with Mr. Wacker, attired, to 'which he could only rer'ay, taking Ml'. Col-
lins by the hand at the same tirue., "Oh Mr. Lollies !
lam choking '• lam dying 1." Collins inanediately
ran and sent in all directioTA Tor medical aid ; several
of the faculty were directly hi attendance, but all to no
purpose Mr. Blacker ,-tvas on " the journey front
whose bourne no traveler returns." The cause of death
was the rupture of a Wood-vessel on that morning. by
violent coughing, proceeding from an asthmatic affec-
tion, by Which he was afflicted for many yens. lu his
part in the farce of the Rendezvous (Mr. Quake) he had.
occasion to fall down. on the stage, and lie in a fright-
ened posture with his head downwards ; this ean*e'l
rush of blood fr•Jm the rupture, and he, through ~.teac-
acy, endeavouring to keep it back till he get off: the
denstage, caused instant suffocation. Mr. Blacker had been
in Mr. Collin's theatre five years, a sure sign of a d
serving actor, and an appreciating
manager. 7th, was
the son of Mr. Blacker, a respectable flour 'merchant,
