THE MEETING AT WILLIS'S ROOM& The Bishop of Loanoc, in moving the first resolution at yesterday's meeting, rid The trolntion I have to present to you is That the Church of England is rani. by the late calamitous events in India, to adopt mites amorgetic meareimis for the diffualon of the Gospel in that benighted land ; and that this meeting will give Its hearty support to the Society foe the Propagation of the Gospel in its efforts to strengthen and extend its minions among the Hinder and Mahronetans." (Hear, hear.) As to the first part of that resolution there is no man calling himself • Christian in the country, who will not at ones Arent to it ; and my belief is that if the principles of the Society fur the Propagation of the Goebel were thoroughly and fairly underetood, there would be almost as fewereons Lead to dissent from the mond part. (Hoeg, her. The =Li the Propagation of the Gospel is intimat ely con- Irlih the church to which we belong ; and it professes le b en narrow and excludes section of that church. (MINIM It whhee that in all it brings before you it should REA drams width of Christian charity's that church apealw (Obnew) An instance I can quote in which It has be reek adosadentood, ham occurred within the last fur days. Every one who bar opened a newspaper has seen something as to the Crimper° Memorial Church. And strup k Is, but a (define hat got abroad that this is smatter whack hes something to do with party views and party:purpories. Swami diet euce a feeling should be entertained with regard to men whom only object it is with one heart end one tubed to euppreas their admiration of the heroism of those who died a, Christians—ha that awful eineagency—to thank God that the evil did not spread farther, sad to pray Him that that mine of diabolical wieltedness may soon become a centre of Christian truth. (Cheers.) Ilow the idea arose that there wee anything of party connected with this matter, I cannot under/tend. (Hear, hear.) No sooner lea proposi tion made to alter the terms by which it was tailed, than, In order to dispel the feeling, the committee consents to It, and a reolution within the last few days we. adopted by this society intended to meet the sort of difficulty which, however unreseenably, has oreuned to the minds of some who had rend the reports of this Memorial Church, and • negotiation was immediately opened also with that other great society spoken of ,in the report, and which is supposed to represent a somewhat different section of the church of England, in order that there might not be • shadow of • doubt se to the real, the Christian, the:catholic spirit in the highest sense, in which the auroraee of this society desire to undertake the work. (Hoar, hear.) I therefore think I am entitled to Mile that, if this society were properly understood, there would be few persons who would refuse remit t, the second part of the proposition es well as to the Ifin:—"fi—" That this meeting will give its hearty support to the Society fur the Propagation of the Gospel in its efforts le strengthen and extend its missions among the Hindoos sad I Mahocuotana." (Cheers.) I trust that the events—the so teem events—which have induced all et us to units logetber for miring the Compare church may remind us en ethic ocerione oleo, that, whin WOO go forth to preach the Gerd to the heathen, they forget theee foolish party division.— ac.er.)— which make them stand asunder from eseh other (Loud cheers.) The fi ret part of this resolution rya, "That the Church of England is called by the late calsealtoes event• in In to adopt more energetic urailures for the diffusion of the Gospel in that benighted land." Let me kir • eminent coy one word ea to the full and comparative weaning of this phrase—the Church of England! It Is net the clergy who are thus summoned to miesimasny dart alone; but the Church of England, its laity as well r it. chirry, arc bound to emit themselves in this work, end not only In the obvious way of subscriptions to promote MAYO denary effort, but in this way, perhape, more then say other. There is a vest amount of missionary work that coq be done by those who never considered themselves r nit. siouries. (Hear, bear.) What is the general sentimest se to the way in which India is hereafter to be administered? It is • very common impersion that we must have in that country • far larger forcer of European soldiers than we have ever had before. Lot one ask this question—Whether we should not see that thine giddier. we scud forth shall Lei speci men. of whet Christian ribber. ought to lee—(choers)— that they ebould Mow thernwlves Christians in their ham, MI that we Mirth] take care, by the provision we make fer their instructkin sod worship el God, no one shall hencefor ward be able to ry we sent them forth into • heathen country as if they were thenwelym heathen ? (Cheers.) Let us everyone in our sphere endeavour to impress this on those whom we can influence, that every English regiment that is to go Nab to take its part in maintaining England's supre macy in India shall go forth as a band of Christian soldiers ; and that nothing 'lint the common weskoeoe of hors nature shall prevent their exhibiting whet Cher? iann ought to ho when they live in the midst of heathen. (Cheese) Ili,* hard is the lot of our common oldest even in these times! How few °portal:tides have they heel of having their minds raised from the temptations around them How much has been done to improve =acre, but how meek se mains to be done still, How much does it depend on the ex ertions made at hoe.° that every nigioient mall have its eheplein—(checm)—that every regiment with its mhoolmes ter and he Chrietien school shall thew that we at home are newt earnest for the Christianity of at least our own troops. (Cheers.) But corning Dearer home, how mazy of us have brothers, nephew, or /90. in India, and at this time how very etrungly doer tho thought force itself on our minds, that our trainiug of them at hour before we sent them forth was not exactly ouch as was bent suited to make them exhibit the Gospel et Christian soldiers and Christian officials in that heathen laud. (Hoar, hoer.) Lot every parent who has • young man in his family training up for Indian service lay to heart what that young man is going forth to do, and let him Uprose upon bite, young's he is—in those tender emo tions 'Mich cannot but be called forth when a young man goat from his home, not to merit It, perhaps for twenty years—when the voice of warning will find a plaeo in his heart—let hies Impress upon him that he must denioan himself as • Christian ought, and show what • privilege it has been to him to have had a Christian truining in the centre of • Christian church. (Cheers.) Let so, for one moment, think if we can humbly, not dogmatically, what have been God's purposes in allowing this most exireordia eery outbreak of Satanic wiekedraess to betel the world. Find, certainly, God has proved to 0.11 in a plain way thee we are all dependent on him from day to day. It so ha that in the year 11145—the niemoreble year when the thrones of Europe were shaken to tho foundation—l was visited eel, h a serious Illness, which for two weeks deprived me of the power of knowing anything that took place in the world beyond the teach of my own room. When I lay down all Europe was is perfect tranquillity; there wear little thought of an vast outbreak & of neural wickedness throughout the whole continent of Europe as there is at this moment. When I awoke there was not • Leg sitting on hie throne sue in our own beloved Island, and the countries imme diately connected therewith, or In the further regime of the south, or among the barbarians of the north. Nothing could more strikingly bring to one's mind how Mestere is the whole world, exeept when it depends on God, than when we awoke one morning and foul to our asto nishment that the great empire of India on which we prided ourselves for so many years had collapeed, and was disap pearing altogether. I hope there are few of these present in this room who have not some thought forced on them of the dependence of the world and its relation to the Almighty hand which rules the destiny of our race. And when God thus vindicates to himself the absolute governance of the world, He alms lets us He what become. of those fine theories of human nature by which we are told that man educating himself without religion may become, not only great, but good. (Hear, her, and cheers.) 1 fear we cant for a moment hesitate to grant that, however much wo rosy have wished to excuse human nature before, we must now think very lowly of unregenerated human nature. Many of us bare been brought up with such admiration of the Iridium tee old classic times that we are led to think that, after all, a relined heathen ie not such a bed sort of man. Bat now we know whet he is and that in • moment he, and the community to which he belongs, is liable to this tort of impute° from some demoniacal power that leads him to exhibit such scenes of atrocity that we could hardly suppose human nature would ever have wit nessed. Whim we reed the account in the Epistle to the Romans of what the refined heathens were, we think it cannot be • her picture of armee whose writing. we delight to read ; but ft is a true picture, and hers we have before oar eye* another picture of what the heathen Is now, so also to the value of our Chridianify. We should now be mote forward to value our Christianity than ever we were before. What do you think it is that has nerved those few Eurofeens to such seta of daring reelf-saerifiee end pearl endurrinee P I behove, although the high spirit of young men and their 1,..1d adder-like daring may account for much, these qualities alone will not account for such quiet cede/ante in the midst of the meet awful trials the human eye has ever witnessed. (Cheers.) It has been customary to talk of the Roman Matron and the Romeo Maiden ; we may now henceforth speak of the British Matron and the British Maiden. (Cheers.) We know how, under eir cumetenees to which it was impossible to supper they could err have been exposed, they had risen merrier to every attempt to degradw every attempt to terrify them; and sow, long er the world lads, the memory of them mothers and daughters of England will be regarded and honoured wherever the Beglish name is known. (Cheers.) We have set before no a faith which nothing could move. When we read their letters we Mall find what is the spirit which ani mated them. I read het night two leases from a lady, since massacred with her husband rd her child, who for weeks was expecting every hour the awful catastrophe which ulti mately fell apes her. In this extremity sir wrote day by day • journal, which site sent to bar Mende at home. Never, out of the pages of Holy Writ, have I read words which 'poke more truly of the reality of Christianity to the ftreeeth of Christian faith than those few page' ; and that is but ono specimen out of a hundred which we rejoice to think so many families will hereafter be able to lay by and treasure among their rust precious Or other thought only, before I sit down—what Gad intends by the great warning ? I shall not detain you by endeavour( to show LOB& it is re duty r assist those who see say way is and ; or that the ran= woe =fly reminds me that Mk 'ewe vales the away Ng grallOd t& Clll 110.17 *ad Mg". 411.

Under am shoed ghat of the constitution of that country England Mended her empire In the Kest. Under the last change, which look plate in 1843, England has nearly loot the laightrt jewel is the corn. I myself, in 1953, thought the biU then introduced defective. I thick it is no still, sad I will tell yon why. TLe East loth* directors timed a par threat for India. They were fairly elected, though I do not my that the electoral body was altogether well constituted; but they were composed of the most eminent marreiel menet Pogland,and they a coo chosen for Mir knowirgeof the ABMs of I .die, and history will tell you all they did.

As to setting up come its re dictator for the government of limit country, he will either be the puppet of • parliamentary imam ity sod of politi. neersi tice IP this country. or ho will be an absolute monarch for the time; sr I leave you to judge whether, in the present temper of England. absolutism is likely to be Mesitted to, especially when extended over so vast • sphere." (Cheers.) Both members reit:reed to the present monetary difficulties; their observationa showing that no change has taken place In their well-known opinions upon those solaria.

As formerly there wee a difficulty in procuring naimionaries in quiescent times, coo shall now hero men willing and ready to devote themselves to the work, If only this and Macleod societies win find them Mid to ad vance their Master's cause in that unhappy land. I beg to move the first resolution. Tho right reverend prelate n omad his seat amid loud cheers. . . Mt. Psitos, 11CP.,;;;;Iedthe resolution. Marrolotion having poised unanimously, The Bishop of Oarottit moved the following resolution : " Thst the proposal of the Society to establish minions in the goesidential and other principal cities, with a view to beteg the truths of Christianity before tho ;Wads of the mei as well as the lower clones of India, is deserving of the art cordial approbation and encouragement; and that It Is Issinble to promote, by every available oceans, the edu cation, training, and ordination of the wore advanced native ceadideiss SW the work of the ministry among their own onaleressa." Since he (the Bishop of Oxford) had been in the room, a letter had been put into his hand, eddressed by the lliahop of Diadem to the secretory of the society, in which be saya,speaking of the sufferings of the oilasionaries "Tee Sr sloven clergy whom I know, most of them with wives and faro airs-ogst the Awn ; two wanking iniaskos of the Society for tho Propagation of the Gospel at Cawspow sod Delhi—the lest the moat promising I have known-- annihilated ; the missionaries, their wives and families, reor dered by ,ermine; the churches, minion -boner school., and calechieti honer destroyed; the catechists, echoob swietere, and the whole body of native Christians, cut off." It woe not, therefore, a war of race against race, but of faith senior faith. "Row wonderful are the doings of Almighty God in permitting all th is ; but Re death all things well." And agsts :—" Oh, it will be a fertile soil which has been watered with the precious blood of so many martyrs—men, too, as I can testify, who counted not their lives deer to themselves for the canoe of Christ; and if, sat believe to be the ease, their deaths will produce a glorious effect In the harvest of souls that will be reaped from it, the object for which they lived and died will be gemmed. Surely many a noble youth from our nnivessities will spring forth to be • baptised for the dead,' to succeed to the ranks of the de parted, to enter into their labours, and to reap the reward of the convereione which, through God's merry, shall follow their toils, their trials, and their deaths." Already had this pro phoy Loon fulfilled, for he had heard since he came into the room of two young own of rank and promise in the univer sity who had volunteered to go Girlhood take up the standard of the Redeemer that had dropped from the bends of these martyrs. (Hear, bear.) The right rev. prelate concluded by huoindiug the meeting of the bright destiny that awaited this country if oho did her duty, and took advantage of It as thy evangeliecr of India. View Chanoellor W. Paws Woon, in seconding the reso lution, observed that he wee aware It was enperfluens for him to address the meeting after the stirring appeals they had already baud, but he thought it might be as well that a lawyer like himself should appear there and join with the clergy in confessing their shortcomings—tostifying their hearty repentance and their desire to 'vine it by • real and an earnestness which, though it could never atone for might some degree . retrieve the time and the opportunities which had been so misspent. (Hear, hear) Thoy had heard/tom the Bishop of Oxford that it was owing to a cowardly fear of toeing the advantages of our commercial position in India that the cross of Christ had been thus kept in abey ance in that land. He could not see that there was say fear on the part of Englishmen in announcing that they were Christians in any other sense, but it appeared there bad been a fear of loping those worldly advantar s for which they had shown themaelves trilling to barter their highest privJeges. (Hear, hear.) The right rev. prelate had referred to those who in Jerusalem dented the Lord lest the Romans should soo - come sad take their nation, end had shown that it wm by that identical sin that the Remain, were brought upon them. And so he (the ViosChancellor) believed that it wee our sinful suppression of Christian truth in India that had brought upon ue these dire calamities. (Hear, hear.) The motion was put and curried unanimoudy. The Biehop of Br. Aura moved • vote of thanks to the Archbishop for presiding, which waa seconded by Mr. COT TON. and carried ; end Mr. H o o tc IKa having annormed that in oonvequenee of a %number of persons having gone away, the room not liege among la to aocosnundate them, another meeting w be held, of width notice would be advertised, the meeting operated. DIXNBR OP THE JIIIROHANT COMPANY (EDINBUR011). -- On Wednesday last the members of this company dined together in the Men bent Hall, Hunter-muse. Mr. CHARLEN LAWAON, old Master, occupied the chair; and Mr. James Richardson, new Master, acted as croupier. Among those present were—Sir Wm. Johnston, Messrs. Adam Black, MX., Charles Cowan, 11.1', Robert Cheru bs', ite. After the usual routine toasts The CHAIIMAN reposed "Both houses of parliament, coupled with the healthy of the members for the city, Mr. Adam Black and Mr. Charles Cowan." He pointed to the unanimity between sovereign and people, which was secured by our glorious constitution, where the mutual consent of sovereign and people, cominuoicated through the two hones of parliament, was required to every important act in the state. Ile hved that parliament might long retied the hearts and wishes of that people towards their sovereign. Mr. Lite ex, in returning thank., after adverting to certain local and other matters, said, " With regard to India, I be lieve much, very muck, requires to be done—abuses enor mous and inveterate to bo removed, and improvements in every deportment to be introduced. As every man Is bound to use such talents and opportunities as Ood has given him for the good of others, so I believe the seise responsibility devolves upon communities of men or nations. The Bret subject that will engage the attention of parliament will be our banking and currency affairs. On this question, I fear, I shall be comidered hardly orthodox by the majority of my fellow-Meet)" who consider what they call the Scotch system the brae ideal of banking.* By the Scotch system I believe is meant that which existed previous to 1841, when Sir Robert Peel's act came into operation. The great boast of this system of joint-stock banking was that the notes and the depneita were always paid, even if the bank stopped; but it hoe been peeved that there may be great boss notwith standing—only it is not the depooiters or noteholders, but the unloppy shereholdere that puffer, and wide devastation may be epreacl through many families by the redacts conduct of a bank. It to to the generally pendent manage. meat of the Scotch bankers rather than to the old system that we are indebted for the security we have enjoyed." Mr. COWAN in returning thanks, thus alluded to the 00nl• crisis:—ltmeredal was nefortunate, he said, that this im portant subject—the currency—war so mystified by the abstruse terms of political technicality, and so repulses in aspect to the uninitiated. A friend of his, a Scotch county member, replied the other day, when he asked him whether he had given any study to this great question, "Oh, yes; I know something about it, and that io how to overdrew my banker's account." Of course that was in jokiebut it showed that the prevailing tendency was to pass slightly over thin vitally important matter. Ile had always regarded the act of 1844 as applying to the currency of England, and of 1845 as applying to the currency of Scotland, as most uncalled for and injurious changes. He could conceive nothing more absurd than the restrictions of the act of 1844 upon the cur rency of a country, the commerce of which had made such enormous strider with every succeeding year. It was like an unnatural parent, who gave his son a suit of clothes when be was tan, and vetoed him any expense in Won whoa he came to be Mem or twenty years oil Mr. Cowan then quoted a number of statistics from Porter's " Progress of the British Nation," to show how largely the trade and com merce of Britain had increased. He noticed, as a cheering feature in the present crisis, the feet that the value of stock was greatly higher jest now than during the panto of 1847. Both members were received with much enthusiasm. ST. MAlteg, WIITTECIIATEL.—Great improve !mots have lately teen, end are about to be made in this church.

On these occur, in the centre one, in medallions, the "Crucifixion" and the " Ascension ;" north gad south of these the " Nat ei,.7 of our Lord" and " Mary et the feet of Jesus." The windows right and left of the triplet are similar in their com pottion, but still varying in their design and colouring, the subject being the Holy Evaogelots, aignant, to the act of imeribing the Gamete on scrolls, and their attributes are in troduced, 'relent, symbolising impiration. Each window la enclosed by rich bottom mid along the bottom and running through the whole is inscribed, " Glory to God in the highest, pesos on earth, and goodwill towards men."

EQUALISATION or PooILAATE.—The executive committee of the association for 'scone title object held their first meeting ix the meson on Wednesday evening lest.

Additional) [TWOPRNOL " Bat although the committee - who were speclailj ad Polluted for this purpose have failed:to point oat any detect, or to make a ny - specific suggestion and have left the matter exactly as they found it, the directors have done otherwise. They have been favoured with information from nine of the principal railway companies as to the gyaki previously in use with them, and the modifications made By them since the discovery of Redpatles fraud. It appears that there Is not one in which fraud of the same kind might not have bees committed end gone on for • considerable time without being discovered. Indeed, it has been already stated that the plan of regietra tion and signing of dividend warrants of this company was originally founded on that punned by the London and North-Western; and in consequenee of the discovery made at the expense of the unfortunate proprietors of this com pany, all the others have already made altenttiona in their systems, more or lees radical, and more or less complete. It Is probably impossible to invent any system of chocks which can be relied upon as a complete protection, where the fraud of one party is helped by the collusion of some and the negli gence of others It is only after long experience arid the discovery of most unexpected modes of trend that the Bank of Englrnd and the Exchequer-bill Ofilee have arrived at their present system, which, after all, can only bo pronounced perfect until some new Fletcher, Bedpeth, or Smith demon strates is imperfection. But the directors hope that the plan which will be henceforward pursued in this company will, at least, do all that can be done to anticipate any conoeivabls fraud being carried on without being speedily found out." MANCIIESTER, BBEFF:Ip, AND LINCOLN- lin itET The receipts and working expenses since the close of the last halt year's working contrast unfavourably with those for the corresponding period of 1868. The entire working charges for the fortnight ending Nov. 16 (exclusive of the Manchester, South Junction, end Altrincham line) show an exordia of 1,1891. The total expenditure since the close of the past six months' working has been 102.7691.; mounting au Incresse, over the corresponding period of 1838, of 12,9541. The receipts on the company's canals for the month of October exhibit a falling off of about 4001., and upon the three months a decrease of nearly 6001. ; and the expenditure for the same period presents an increase of 2,3001. With respect e the receipts of the South Junction line, there is son of 4,8471., while the IACTIMMI of expenditure has been 1,0021. UNEMPLOYED OPELITIrES LE MANCHESTER. Captain Polio, the chief constable of Manchester, has caused a return to be made showing the Mate of employ ment among the operative classes in the city of Manchester up to Wednesday, in the form Initially adopted In times of great depression of trade and deices among the workpeople. By this return it appears that out of 37 cotton-mills in Man chester, employing 24,291 workpeople, only 30 raffle em ploying 10,273 persons, are in full work at the present time. Of the remainder, 26 mills and 8,439 people are working short time, and 12 mills with 5,582 hands are totally on employed. Of the 16 silk mills in the town none are fully employed; but two of them have ceased to run, throwing out of work 1,780 operatives, whilst at the others 2,853 workpeople are reduced to short time and reduced wages. In the 18 mall-ware mills, only 364 persons are working full time, whilst 2,616 are working short tidal and 320 persons have been wholly thrown out of employ. Taking a total of 233 mills, print-works, dyeworke, machinlate chops, and foun dries, 73, with 16,861 operatives only are in full employ, whilst 18,136 persons belonging to them ere on short time, and 10,394 are totally unemployed. So I,r the return; but 10,391 persona destitute of employ, and 18,136 reduced to half a loaf, by no means gives the fell measure of distress existing in Manchester through the present unfortunate de preasion of trade, arising out of the monetary crisis. There are in addition many thousands of fustian cutters and their families—at all times only one rococo from pauperiam—and hand-loom weavers, mostly working at home or for small masters, whose shops are not included in Caputo Pslin's re turn, entirely blown out of employ. There are no means of estimating accurately the numbers of these, but they are very peat, and from an unfurtunate habit of the fustian cutters and hand-loom weavers of bringing up their whole families to the trade, the des titution amongst those people is more complete than tunont:b. mill hands. They work together, in families, and w work falls they ere all out together ; but the same family of mill operatives are employed often in different mills, and these whilst one portion are thrown out of work, another may be employed in a mill that has not stopped, or hae only partially stopped. Thus the destitution among the heathen cutters and band-loom weavers sooner makes itself felt at the workhouse. Both the woekhouscs in the township of Manchester ere full, and the out-door relief last week was increased by 601., and last week by 901. additional. The in crease of cams in the books of the relieving officers last week would be about 600, and as these cues meetly include whole families (a large proportion of them being !wum cutters). the increase in persona applying for relief may bo taken at about 2,000. As the township of Manchester le only that portion of the city between the rivers Irk and Irwsll on one wide, and the river Medlock on the other, this estimate of inc easing pauperism only applies to about a third of the population, the remainder, including the larger population of Blame and Charlton, lending its poor for relief to a separate union. The populous borough of Salford has also a separate workhouse and board of guardinne and ell that can be raid of these is that pauperism and distress is rapidly increasing in them, if not in the same ratio as in the township of Man cheater. At Ashton, Bury, Bangs, Burnley, Bolton, Blackburn, Burnley, Chorley, Accrington, Colne, Wigan—all places having large populations—in the same county, the numbers thrown out of employment, or only on hall work, and the distrese bears full proportion to that en Manchester. DEATII OF IDE PRINCIPAL OF TUE UNIVERSITY or 0 LASGOW.—The Rev. Dr. Macfarbui t ,rincipal of Glaa gow University, and minister of the Hi gh Church, died on Wednesday morning, at his residence et college. AI our readers are aware, the principal had for the last three menthe been confined to his apertments, in consequence of an acci dent which he sustained at Ifelensburgh, and by which one of his legs was broken. Dr. Nacfarlan was born on the 27th September, 1771, and, consequently, had attained to the ago of 88 years. For the la= three weeks it was apparent that there was no hope of recovery, and the venerable gentleman, whilet retaining his faculties till about the close of life. gradually became weaker, till, as above stated, he expired on Wednesday. He bell' the once of principal in our univenity for the period of thirty-two years, and the incumbency of the High Church for about thirty one years. He woe ordained a minister of the church of Scotland when only 21 years of age, and was then appointed assistant to his father at Brymen. We believe the la= time the rev. doctor preached out of Ms own pulpit was on the occasion et the funeral sermon of Dr. Muir, of St. James's. Ills lest public appearance in his own pulpit was on the thanksgiving Sabbath after the April communion. The venerable principal was respected by all denominations for his consistency in Church polities, having always espoused the awe of the party denominated Moderates; and the various charitable inethutions in the city had in him a us.- lons supporter end warm advoeate.—North Bo ilish Daily Mail. THE POOR LAW.—As some misunderstanding appears to be generally prevalent respecting the order of the Poor Law Board, regulating the admiuistration of relief to the labouring classes in the manufacturing end other popu loin places a copy of the general order, dated the 14 th of December, 1852, which contains their regulations on that subject—has been published. This order. =Ailed to about ninety unions and fifteen parishes, including among others the Preston Union, does not prohibit the granting of out door relief to the ablebodied poor, nor require that they should all be relieved in the workhouse; but it provides that where ablebodied node persons are relieved out of the work house they shall be *et to work and be kept employed while in receipt of relief. Exceptions are eetablhhed which meet many cease arising In such emergencies se at present, and an additional article gives a much larger latitude to boards of guardians in the execution of the order, subject to interven tion an the part of the Poor Law Board, should they find it necessary to Interfere. NORTH NORTIIAMPTONSIIIRE ELECTION.— Th vacancy caused in the eereeentation of the division by the death of Mr. Stafford will not be filled up fill atter the meet ing of parliament. Mr. George Ward Hunt, of Wedenhos, who twice sought to represent the town of Northampton on conservative principles, but unencoesefully, was announced as a candidate within a few hours of Mr. Stafford's decease and he Ina since issued an addreee in which he states that he "considers it the duty of every cocurerestivo to waive all party feelings, and to strengthen the hands of the government of the day in dealing with the fearful mutiny in British India so long as they evince an energy and a vi t emir onetmeneurate with the magnitude of the interests at stake." Its =hived that Mr. Hunt will not be allowed to creep into the division without a contest. The liberal Interest is weighty in the district, and Lord W. Compton, Lord Henley. and Mr. Fitz patrick Vernon have been mentioned as eligible men to up bold that interest. The latter is more particularly spoken of, for beeides poeseesing experience in diplontetic drain, he is the son of a consistent and popular politician, a resident in the division, and wanted one of the daughters of the late Earl Fingal's= (Lady Albrecht). It is rated that &requi sition, numerously end influentially aliened, has been sent to Mr.Venion ; and if he accept it there =Ae no doubt that be will receive the anthordastio supp o rt of the whole of the really independent electors. The libnal landlords of the division have for years =lst been very forbearing: and it seems to some extent indecent on the part of the censervatives that the should thrust forward with hot heitte a pawn to sne ered Mr. Stafford before that lamented gentlemen waa placed in his coffin.—Stamford Mercury. SACRED lIARMOSIC SOCIETY.—TIiP Siamese Am. baseadore will be meant at the opening concert of the season at Exeter-hall this evening. .It4IL Wei INTELLIGINCE. --m-- GREAT NORTHERN. The following further report Of the directors will be presented to the half-yearly ordinary general meeting of the provision, to be held by adjournment at the London Tavern, on the let of December next " In the 'sport nosed on the 21st of August last the directors duly published' a scheme showing the profits of the company since the preceding half-yearly meeting at whieh a dividend wee declared,' (as the Companies Cjrnsr Ant requires), after retaining the whole earnings of the last half tiLttivear 1856, 243,9231. fe. Bd. This sum has been=o by the act of parliament of this year to re-p the amount at the stocks fraudulently create d end issued by Meath, and to repay all expenses incurred by the company by reason of his fr auds and forgeries. Particulars of the expenditure of the 243,9231. 6s. Bd., and of any amount that may be recovered from Redpath's state, will be published after the cam on of the purchase of the fraudulent stocks. It is that this account will be reedy by the lint half-yearly general meeting. " The amount of such profits now to be divided is 183,2761. 15e. tinder the recent decree of the Court of Chancery it is only competent for the meeting to declare a dividend on the footing of prying thereout to the preference stockholders* full year's dividend, which will be 168,1251.65., leaving 15,1611.94. to be divided amongthe he4ders of original stork, including the A and II stocka, This will yield • dividend of 6.. per cent. on the origins] stock, and, there fore, of 12e. per rent. on the 13 stock, and none oei the A stock, Inuring a small balance to be /Baia to the next account " The great majority of the proprietors will, no doubt, be much disappointed at this result of the legislation and liti gation of this year. The directors can oils say they have done their best to carry into effect the resolutions of the meetings of March and July last. It is not their fault that the bill was drawn so as not properly to express the declared intention of the company, end of the committees of both Howes of Parliament, who unanimonely adopted it in the belief that tenure° thereby mekiog all clams of shareholders contribute to the loss caused by Ittdpeth's forgeries ; en in tention which the Lord Chancellor amid in hie judgment might reasonably have been entertained by parliament, aa the whole act was a oromproteiee' between the different desert of shareholder, who were all reduced to an equal difficulty; only it had nut been clearly expremed. " Nov was it the directors' fault that after this defect bad been discovered and amended in the Howie of Lords, the House of Commove ws induced to disregard the opinion of their own committee, who bad heard the case fully argued, and to defeat the compromise unanimmialy adopted by the committee of each house, by retaining this technical defect in the bill. " The decision will no doubt seriously affect the relative position of the dilforent classes of shareholders in many com panies, by giving n new and unexpected value to what have been hitherto called preference shares, and effacing the =in ane& distinction between them and rewound shares. For tunately, however, this part of the decision is not likely to have any practical effect on the proprietors in the Great Northern Railway Company, piece but for some such cense ordinary calamity /4 that which produced all this ounfusion, there a euld probably never have been occasion to consider whether the preform:ice stocks are entitled to arrears of divi dend or not. " After all, the original shareholders most remember that the result of these proceedings however unfairly brought about, is only equivalent to that which was contemplated by the bill first uitrodueed by the directors and stopped by Lord Redeedale, which would ultimately have thrown the whole lees on the ordinary stock, by capitalising it at their exposes. The directors sincerely regret the distr..s which has been occasioned to many of the proprietors by the re(oeal of one House of Parliament (or the person who exereiseMta autho rity) to allow that toes to be made easy by capitalising it, and of the other to eenetion the compromise by . which the payment of the whole out of one half year's weenie :was agreed to on the condition of all parties contributing to it. The directors venture also to remind the proprietors that no good can now be done by further complaints. " At the last two or three meetings of this °company, lan guage has been used from which a stranger would suppose that the shareholders had been brought to the verge of ruin and deprived of all hope of a fair dividend for years come. " It is true thee as usually happen., the greatest n to one haa been mode by these wbo suffered least "But the preference shareholders who denounced the di rectors for dole ing their dividends of 21. 10s., 21., and 11.44., until the moot important railway question that has ever been tried could be fully heard and decided, have evidently been encouraged in this course by finding themselves in • ma jority of nine, though always in • minority of votes, even without the proxies ; still • majority can in the first instance carry anything end resist anything, se there are no means of counting the votes without the tedious preens of • poll on every question. "If the panful and rational majority of the proprietors think the character of the company worth preserving, and that the time is come to make an end of the business which has caused so much ill-feeling, it is neither prudent for them selves, nor fair to those who have had to fight their bottle for them, to leave their opponents in even apparent command of the meeting. "It is imperaible to foresee what coarse may be taken at the approaching meeting by those who have created the die • turbance at the last two. " But the time is coming when no company will get per of character to serve them as directors if they are to be insulted by their constituents whenever they meet them pub licly, and not oven allowed to make the epeiehee necessary to conduct the business without interruptions. If the pro prietors think their business would be better done by such persons as those who enmity distinguish themselves by Ira puling the worst possible motives to the present directors it all their acts, it is easy for them to say so, and as soon as that opinion is deliberately expressed It shall be immediately acted on. " But they must make their choice, and the proceedings of the ensuing meeting will probably be taken to indicate that choice in ono way or the other. " The proprietors are reminded that among the butane adjourned, is Mr. Greening's rote of censure on the directors, which is neceesmily connected with the consideration of the report of Messrs. Giesler, Mallllll, and Waters, three mem ben of the late committee of inquiry on the same subject, to which the directors now therefore publish their =ewer and mud it herewith." The Greet Northern beard have tamed " The Answer of the Great Northern Railway Bond to the Report of the Conimittee of Inquiry." The directors persevere in their determination to throw the blame of the Itedpath forgeries on Mr. Clark, the late shale registrar of the company. They say • The committee are ectly aware (though they do not state it, but leave it to b eepked out of documents) that the forgeries had reached 120,6371., while Itedpath wasonl • clerk under Mr. W. it, Clark, the than registrar, and t hat the largoat amount of forgeries in any half-year was coot lei' red in the ens just before Mr. Clark's resignation, Yet so tar cos that gentleman from even then discovering that he had this enormous ands tly-inereasing amount of forged stock in his books, he acknowledged to the committee) he was only ' informed • few weeks before he left that there were some comparatively trilling discrepan cies.' So trifling, indeed, did they appear to him, that he Resin rertifhd the register to be correct, for the thirteenth time sines the forgeries began, and left a letter behind hiss stating that everything in his aloe would be found correct. "It might have occurred to them (the committee) to in quire how far the reginration system of this compeo i alt been copied from others of greater capital and en p sad also how far the non-discovery of the frauds was due to any aystem established or 'auctioned by the directors, sled how far to the mode of working it. They have indeed re pmeed emphatically enough, that ' the secretary signed the dividend warrants without examination, and without even noting the amount; so that if he had been required to state on the following d ay what sums be bad drawn from the banker, there was no record to give the information. But they never asked a single question as to the directors' know ledge or eanctiou of that practice; and have so stated the matter as to lead any one to infer that the directors had in . vented or sanctioned a system by which any amount of false or enemies dividend warrants might be sent to the secretary for signature, without the possibility of his dia -1 covering the excess. " With equal disregard both of the facto and the law, they try to connect the forgeries with the use of the secretary's stamped simiatum, not on the dividend =erects, but on the stock and Uwfer certificates, whereas there is not the emelt= proof That the over-issues would have been more' difficult if the signature had been printed beforehand, as the committee know that it is in other companies. Theft state ment that the secretary's signature was requisite to make the transfers valid in this enmpany is in direct contradiction or =tempt of Sir Fitzroy Kelly's opinion, and Mr. Itochfort Clarke'', and of Mr. Justice Willis's declaration= Itedpath'n trial, of which opinions Mr. Giesler and his co-reportets cannot pretend to he ignorant. all they have all been pub lished in the company's reports. " It is remarkable that with all their desire to throw the blame of this enlamity upon the directors, the committee have not ventured to tipeno a single thing which the directors ought to have done to prevent it. if their general insinua tions have any definite meaning, it can only be that the directors ought to go through the work of every department over again thenuelvee, in older to be sure that the auditors, the aceenntants, the secretary, the registrar. and their se !Twelve clerks, and indeed every officer and servant of the company have all kept their peeper checks upon each other, If the committee meant anything of this kind, they had better have said en dielisetly, or at any rate have said what they do mean. Per even es regards the future , the share holders are requested to =sine that if their protection against similar frauds is to depend upon any improvement in the note= or any new mode of control, recommended by One committee, there is se reason why the frauds should not begin again next year, for they have done absolutely nothing 1 °... 1 a entreating any specific improvement or alteration whatever; they have added nothing to the information pan mend by the public long before their report came out; they have elucidated nothing, except their own incapacity for dealing with the subject they professed to investigate.
