£463,866 17s. 11d. The revenue account showed a
net profit of £69,348 10s. 9d., out of which the directors
proposed to declare a dividend of five per cent., and a
bonus of £1 per share, in effect a dividend of 7 per cent.
The directors stated that the rate of hire to be paid by
Government for the large transports in their service was
to be left to arbitration. They had been glad to sell the
Himalaya, as it was found that she was too large to pay,
and also to give up the Australian mail contract, as it had
turned out " a bad job," and inflicted a loss of not less
than £40,000 on the company. The directors proposed to
increase the capital by one million sterling, in 20,000
shares of £5O each, in order to pay for the new boats
building, and to 'extend the operations of the company.
The report regretted the retirement from the managing
direction of Mr. Willcox, M.P. (who has gone on a congra-
tulatory mission to Said Pacha, the new Viceroy of Egypt),
and the resignation of his seat at the board of Mr. C.

already restored to purity before His incarnation.
Thus the distinctive character of Antichrist is
wilfully assumed by the Romish Church in the
form of a solemn decree; to which, it would seem,
the consent of the Bishops of the Papal communion
has beforehand been obtained. In reply to the
questions addressed to them by the POPE from
Gaeta, we are told that in almost every instance
the Bishops hastened to " assure His HOLINESS
that they themselves and their predecessors, and

their pious flocks, had always held that the Ifirr
MARY had never contracted the guilt of oric-

sis; and that, through a special privilege, as
MOTHER of Gon, and through the merits of her
Divine SON, she bad been exempted from that
fatal stain, which, with exception of her, we all
inherit from our Ostparents.

" With that admirable unanimity," continues Dr.
CULLEN, " which is to be found only in the true
Church, they petitioned the Holy Father to put
the seal of his infallible authority on their teaching,
by solemnly defining this doctrine of the Imma-
culate Conception. It is expected, therefore, that
on the Bth of December, his HOLINESS, surrounded
by the Cardinals and, other dignitaries of the
Roman Church, and by Bishops from every region
of the earth, who have come hither to testify their
devotion towards her, will publish his solemn de-
cree, and thus satisfy the anxious desires of all the
faithful children of MARY." After the passing of
this decree the Roman Church will be theoretically
what she has long been practically, not a Church
of worshippers of CHRIST, but a Church of wor-
shippers of MARY, who trace not from Him, but
from his mother the origin of the salvation of the
human race.—John Bull.

PRODUCE.--A good demand for Sugar, but the
market being freely supplied, prices are barely
maintained. No alteration in Coffee. Rice, quiet.
Rum, dull. Tea, in limited request. Saltpetre,
without change. Palm Oil, dull. Tallow, in fair

for Benares, and 335. to 345. 6d. per cwt. for Dates.
Nothing has transpired in Molasses or Rum. Some
considerable transactions have taken place in Coffee,
chiefly for export, 1,700 bags Bahia being reported
at 41s. 9d. to 425., and 1,200 bags ordinary washed

PROVISIONS

LIVERPOOL, DEC. B.—The stock of old beef is very
much reduced. Several parcels of new have arrived, but
are not yet landed. Prices are well maintaned ; but
there is a general disposition amongst the dealers to buy
only for present wants. In the absence of suitable
qualities, American pork has been sparingly dealt in. The
first arrivals of new, if fine, will sell well. There is a
good retail demand for bacon, which holders meet liberally.
New is asked for. Shoulders neglected. Lard is very
dull, and the decline of is t 6 is 6d per cwt. submitted to
by holders does not bring forward purchasers. The late
arrivals of cheese having been offered at a reduction of
4s to Os per cwt. on previous rates, the demand has
materially improved.

DEC. 11.-Our butter market continues in a dull, unsa-
tisfactory state : only a limited retail business has been
transacted since our last report, and holders would most
likely give way is to 2s per cwt., if buyers of quantity
were to appear. Although the import is moderate, the
stock increases. Select brands of Waterford, 97s to 100 s ;
Clonmel, Kilkenny, and Wexford, 96s to 99s ; Sligo and
Limerick, 90s to 95s ; Belfast, 94s to 96s ; and pickled
Cork, seconds, 88s to 90s per cwt. landed. Imported
from Ireland, from the 2nd to the Bth inst., both inclusive,
7,651 firkins, 142 kegs, 362 boxes, 230 barrels butter, 96
bales bacon, 43 hhds. 7 tierces hams, 20 firkins and 10
kegs lard.

The hearty and efficient co-operation of the
brave troops of my Ally, the Emperor of the
French, and the glory acluired in common, cannot
fail to cement still more closely the union which
happily subsists between the two nations.
It is with satisfaction that I inform you, that,
together with the Emperor of the French, I have
concluded a treaty of alliance with the Emperor of
Austria, from which I anticipate important advan.
tages. I have also concluded a treaty with thelinited
States of America, by which subjects of long and
difficult discussion have been equitably adjusted;
these treaties s, ill be laid before you. Although
the prosecution of the War will naturally engage
your chief attention, I trust that other matters of
great interest and importance to the general
welfare will not be neglected. I rejoice to observe
that the general prosperity of my subjects remains

uninterrupted.
The state of the Revenue gives me entire satis-

prudence, you will continue to promote the pro-
Ilture and Manufactures.
