It in indeed to be hoped that one of the happiest results of th e me4sures which hare been sanctioned—as 1 believe May and ieresue ably sanctioned—by parliament, will be the ter , iiiation of momently recurring and irritating dis co...oos. and the removal of all causes of jealousy and con tents.% between thine, who though occupied in different di partsm , its of industry have interests that are inseparably n. 1 thank you for the hearty good wishes you ri pe.+ in my welfare. • • • Ile assured that in a print. station I shall give my continued support to those pt , nr iples of commercial legislation which have been ap prove ; " ' sally by the tie !unions of reason and by the re• sults of practical caperiment, and that I shall rejoice in the prop.... of a ll measu r es adopted with due caution and cir. eignetwetion that shall be calculated, by extending ems. mem, to give addition sl security for enteral pram, sod by e nsuring their just r e ward to skill and industry, to lay the hr.! foundation for the nitrite:teal and moral improvement of the people." By tint retrac t th, scold see very clearly that Sir R. ben l'ei:'s sagacity °girded the measures of free trade as a nu .in. to an iflirorrolt end. He foresaw that these gees r t p rinciples would le id dinctly to the establehristot ‘ d peace. not only at home , but universal peace on the while tan of the earth.

(Cheers) With then n.i.!itnents, be most cordially proposed the toast he kelpies! oiled.

Wrest cheering.) Mr. PEEL then rose again to propose the health of Mr. Walker, the late member for the bormigh. (Loud cheers.) Mr. R. WALKER, jun., briefly responded to the toast, and expressed his wish that Mr. Peel might meet with the same unwavering and respectful attachment from his con stituents as it had been the happy fortune of his prede cessor to resistive from them. Ile concluded by proposing. "The health of the members fur the county of Lanca shire." (Cheers. Mr. W. BROWN, M.P., responded. Ile deeply regretted that his colleagues in the representation of the twenty were nut there to hear the cheer which was given on the un covering of the statue of the lamented Sir Itlbert Peel. It was not one of boisterous esultauon, or one give. at the commemoration of • great victory, but a cheer that pro ceeded from the heart as a tribute of respect to a departed friend. (Cheers.) The Very 1t.,. JOHN PEEL, D.D., Dean of Worcester (brother of the late Sir Robert Peel), who spoke with great emotion, said he was quite sure that the toast which he had now to propose would, atter what they had seen to-day, command a respectful attention and • cordial reception to this large and respectable assembly. He had to propose, "'the Health of the committee Secretary, and Subscribers to the Bury Sestimosial." (deers.) Mr. WM. HARPER, the Secretary to the Committee of the Peel testimonial, briefly responded. Mr. LAWRENCE PEEL (brother of the late Sir Ro bert Peel) said he regretted exceedingly that • loam ab sence from this part of the country had rendered him almost an entire stranger to those whom he had the honour of ed• dtai.g. (Cheering.) Ample justice had been done throughout the whole country to the memory of the late Sir Robert Peel, and he glad te think that the name of Peel was still to be connected with the town of Bury. (Load cheers.) He concluded by propeeing " The health of Mr. Bally, the statuary." (Cheers) Mr. BAIL/ briefly acknowledged the honour. Several other toasts were given, and the company &cps- I I rated at about half-past seven o'clock. TIIE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 10, 1852. POLITICAL BANQUET AT dimeading stroke. (Cheers.) The party may be out of phiee, their chieftain. may b e o u t o f p ower ; they may so longer be on the nosy aide of the street, if ma OWNS to think it so—(a laugh)—bat Ido feel is my own naiad as sured that their opinions and principles will still pervade the conduct of public aim, marshalling the march of imperial goverment (Tremendous cheering.) I say this, not, I trust, from any bias or Wind sors with respect to their claims ea their coun trymen, but because I believe the opinions and prim eiples they express to be moving in a middle course between opposite extremes, fenced la on the one aide by respect to property, by the loovere4mty of the national law, by the supremacy of the universal Gospel—Wm/O.—mad guarded on the other aide, to the greatest extent, by the privilege and the widest community of enjoyments which can be conceded to all alike, consistently with those pre• eminent obligations. (Loud cheers.) I have, gentlemen, on this occasion to add, that t o n i g ht has shines that by the light of those principles a mon can guide his public course consistently and honourably, fur upwards of half a century ; and to night has also shows that the public iour approval se ol i suc w h rdial a c l irre e rV l :h a a n t d w a tfi l l icia we te no th w e ratify. (Loud and prolonged cheering.) Mr. J. L. BELL gave the health and future happiness of the Right Hon. the Earl of Durham. The Berl of DURHAM, who was received with the most enthusiastic plaudits, mid: Gentlemen,—l brit to thank you for the very undesery honour you have con ferred on me in drinking my health, and Mr. Bell espe cially for the mention he has been pleased to make of my father. At the same time I wish to express the great plea sure I feel in having had this opportunity of showing my respect to an old frimd of my father, end also to those liberal principles which he advocated during his life. (Loud cheers.) After the able speeches you have already heard, I will not detain you any longer, except again to thank you for your very kind attention to me. (Chairs.) Several other -.toasts appropriate to the occasion were drunk and responded to, aad the company separated shortly after 10 o'clock. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE. TM UIIDA T. Yestordwi, fr.th two to three hundred of the nobility, gentry, and merchants, of this town and neigh bourhood, met in the Onnt Assembly.roona bens. at s public racquet, given by them t o M r . William Ord, of Whitfield, Northumberland, 004 of the late representatives of this I borough, on his retirement from parliament. The CHAIRMAN (Mr. J. Hodgson, Mayor of ?Jewess tle), in proposing the tout of the evening, the "Health of Mr. Ord," read letters which had been received from Lord John Hassell, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Sir Jas. Grabs& and Lord Pianism, in answer to invitations addrewed to thou to attend the hvaquet, who individually expressed their regret at their inability to be present on the ociaamo, bet bearing at the mass time one sad all of them, their willing testimony to the public and private worth of Mr. Ord, and to the steady and unvarying support he bad given to measures of a liberal and progressive ten dency during the long time be bad eat in parliament. He then traced the history of civil and religious liberty and of parliamentary reform in this country, from the outbreak of the first French revolution down to the present time, iden tifying with Ilene advaasnesse du services rendered by Mr. Ord dusins the SO ran be met he the House of Com mons. That 'oedemas bed Wee always one of the most eoastant attendees in the hew, and it would be difacult to point out any member who had recorded more votes than be in favour of civil and religiose liberty. He had, however, outlived nearly all the pael eentemporaries of his youth, sad had scarcely lefthoidedMa a single member who was in the Home! of Commies when he entered it. The toast was drunk with aselamation. Mr. OlfD, after thanking tlie company for the compli meat they had been pleased to pay him , said it was true that, fur half a century, he had had the honour of a sett in parliament, and that during that long period measures of the greatest importance to the happiaess and prosperity of the people, and to the general good government of the country, Lid met with the 'auction of the legislature; and if he had contributed in the humblest way to the progress of those measures, he owed it entirely to having attached himself in early life to that party and t hose men whose con stant and steady perseverance in the good cause bad re sulted in such signal sum's. (Cheers.) When be con sidered the persevering opposition by which oat and all of those measures were resisted by a great and power. ful party in the country, and when be looked beck to the prospect which reformers bad before them fifty years ago, he owned ha felt quite Si much surprise se satisfaction at what had been accomplished in that interval. The bon. gentleman then, fa some detail, reviewed the progress of civil, religious, and ooniastircial freedom during his political life, especially commenting on the ameliorations which the penal laws bad undergone in his remembrance, adding that, notwithstanding the ad trances that had been made in these respects, and the pre dictions made at one time by a party in the country that the throne and the Rolm of Lords would be thereby en dangered, the crown now rested as safely on the bead of her present Majesty as ever it did on the brow of any other royal predecessors, sad their lordships sat aa securely on their scarlet beetes as at any previous period of our history.

(Cheers.) I think that we may be al -1 lowed, without any undue ostentation or any undue vaunt log of ourselves, to look back at the times that are gone by, and to see what has been the result of maintaieiag those opinions which we have ever professed. Mr. Ord and our chairman have told you something of the days that are goon by and pointed out to you the difficulties which formerly beset those who adopted the conviction of reform and general improvement. Now, let me ask, is there not in the present state of this great coon try some proof that the opinions which they supported and the measures which they advocated were not lightly or in juditioualy taken up ? (Cheers.) Mr Ord has told you, and told you moat justly, that in times which even I can remember to a certain extent, every, even the smallest re form was objected to and for many years successfully re sisted on the plea that it endangered the stability of the throne ; and he has asked you whether the crown sits lees firmly on the brow of our gracious Queen. (Great cheering.) 1 will go somewhat further. I will not (0 back to those disastrous times at the beginning of the trench revo lution to which the chairman Las referred. I will not even look back to the time of the war, when it was natural that the country should coffer • great deal from the consequences of that war. But I will look back to the first few years after the war. There are a good many in this room who are old enough to remember who held the office now un worthily filled by myself of Lord-Lieutenant of this coun ty ; and whea that nobleman declared in his place la the Home of Lords that there were one hundred thousand men between the 'ryes and the Wear willing to take up arms in insurrection against the government. We remember the suspension of the Herne Corpus Act, and the dan gerous spirit of insubordination which it obtained. We know also in those days how much distress prevailed throughout the country, and how frequently the whole population were grievously suffering, how much the whole country was oppressed with tuatioo, and how vary differ's' • state of things was that from now. Instead of that, what do we see nowt Instead of 100,000 men reedy to take up arms in insurrection, I firmly believe that between the Tyne and the Wear, as between every other pert of the country, there is not one man who, if his services are really wanted, is not ready to give them, not to pull down the throne or the institutions of the country, bet to main tain them. (Loud cheers.) We see around as in every dircetiou the indications of program and improve ment, so much so that the only complaint I now hear in the country ia, that there are really not hands enough to carr, es egrscultural operations. Now, to what are we to attribute this great neap t No doubt, in the first place, it becomes us humbly to acknowledge with the deepest gni titude the debt we owe to Providence in casting our lot in these happy times. (Cheep.) But all the purposes of Providence are winked out by secular mesas, and among those means which have brought this country to its present improved condition we must reckon those peat measures which have been referred to. It is because the poll tired grievances of the people have been redressed that the penal laws a gai nst catholic, and dissenten have been repealed ; it is Waging by that great measure, which after so severe a struggle wu ultimately carried—l mean the Reform Bill—(cheers)—which, though never professing to be • perfect measure, yet is • ineesure which no man as deny has plead is the heads of the people of England the real power of deciding on their own laws and their own government. (Load cheers.) Imperfect it may be sled; but no mace an doubt that sines the Reform Bill passed, the House of emanate is now what it never wee before—an instrument which answers to the really expressed opinion of the lot/Wear* of the eoutry.

The committee appointed to investigate into the case of Mary Elizabeth Squinell, who for the pre lie months in reported to have lived without foal IR alowleb. meat of any kind, have just completed the terve al *de labours his voluminnus document, alter treati g of the facts which have already appeared in tis Ex press, give. the following additional particulars: From the statement of the various members of tbil committee, it appears the girl and her parents frequently expressed a desire that the watch should be shortened, on the ground that she might have the ensuing Sabbath to herself for meditation and prayer. The watch was com menced by Mr. G. Toren and Mr. W. H. B. Webster, • surgeon, who experienced some little hostile feeling when they presented themselves at the house, and announced the errand upon which they had come, their presence producing agitation and excitement. Even tually, they were allowed to remain, but the father steadily refused to leave them in complete charge, or to allow the bed upon which the girl lay to be removed from the corner of the room. The room has two doors, sad persons were allowed to have Recess, so that the attention of the watchers was liable to repeated interruptions. Desirous of giving as little annoyance as poseible, the committee suffered the parents to communieate with their daughter in elm* any way, and with as much frequency as they requested. They eves permitted thi m to raise her up in bed—as °See which wm often performed. They also allowed the girl to bare a parasol in use, day and night, Weans* at was pleaded, notwithstanding her alleged blindness, that, hem her exquisite susceptibility, the light was distressieg les keg, particularly at night.

Oa the last morning of the watch, whets the Rev. J.

The Wed was very soon removed, bat no symptoms of lock jet were visible, nor was any further allusion made to addition to the statements which have already ap peared in reference to the discovery made by the nurses, they also found a white handkerchief ender the person of the girl wet.

Since my list the steam fleet has been strengthened by the arrival of the Fury and Firebrand steam."e ; on board the former was Mr. Stafford, who, since his arrival, his been most assiduous in his duties, and has expressed much satisfaction at the order existing in the various departments. He will, it is said, so fond is he of hie " new life," accompany the admiral to Smyrna, only shifting his quarters from a steamer to a sailing vessel, and it sin thought giving tho preference to the Phaeton.— Terrible, steam-trigate, has received, very unexpectedly, her orders to proceed to England, and is quite ready, wait ing only the arrival of thefleet. She will be relieved here by the Sampson, a (riots not much more than half her power. The admiral bee been expected here daily for the last week, but has not yet been telegraphed. He is known to have had easterly winds, and when last beard of was to the W. of Cape de Batt, the frigate, the Indefatigable, hav ing ran by the fleet without seeing anything of thesis, hove too off the island on Saturday last, and without coming in, went about in search. Growler has been despatched to Tripoli with instructions to Colonel Herman, the British consul there, and hes returned. The various packets due have all arrived, and continued their routo to their destined ports. COURT-MARTIAL—SENTENCE OF DEATH. PORTSMOUTH, SHPT. 9. A court martial was held to-day on board the Vic tory, flag-ship, in this harbour, to try William Alexander Williams, alias William Bigg, a gunner in the Royal Ma rine Artillery, for having, on the morning of the 31st of July, whilst serving on board the Dauntless, steam-frigate, the ship being then at sea, assaulted and struck Mr. Joseph Oliver, gunner on board the latter, his senior officer, bring on duty at the time. The court consisted of Admiral Superintendent Prescott (President) ; Captain H. D. Chad+, H.M.S. Excellent; Commodore Talbot; Captain Scott, H.M.S. Neptune • Captain Robinson, 11.1ip. Arrogant; Captain Giffara, H.M.S. Termagant; Captain Gordon, H.M.S. Encounter; Captain Matson, H.D1.8. Highflyer ; and Mr. G. 8. Greethant, Deputy-Judge Ad vocate of the Fleet. Captain Hahtead, 1i.M.8 Dauntless, proannted. /dr. Joseph Oliver deposed that at about ten o'clock in the morning of the above day he was on duty on the main deck of the Dauntless, and was standing with his back to wards the breech of the Bth gun on the starboard side, and was speaking at the time to the purser's steward on duty. He had his back to the prisoner, who was in irons at the liar km having on a former occasion used improper and abodes towards hiss (Mr. Oliver) whilst on duty. Wier sertWYg prisoner struck him on the side of the heed make the right ear. They had not had any words that merufes together. Cregoesmalsed by the prisoner —I felt the effects of the blow for a hetedght afterwards. Richard Platt, purser's steward, deposed that he saw the prisoner strike the last witness under his right ear. He afterwards appeared to make an attempt to strike him again, but he had moved away. No provocation whatever had been given. Cross-examined by the prisoner—l did not see Mr. Oliver tread on your irons. Captain Halstead, being sworn, deposed that the pri soner's being in irons on the 31st of Jul was in consequence of a charge preferred against him . , and investigated before him (Captain Halstead), of having made use of most vio lent and mutinous language to Mr. Oliver, the gunner, on the morning of the 27th of July. In investigating the gunner's complaint, the impression on witness's mind was that he (Mr. Oliver) had conducted himself with calmness and forbearance, and had simply fulallent duty, he being in sharp of the main deck at the time. When the blow was Minsk there was a sentry over the pri soner ; but as he happened to have his beck turned to the prisoner when he semmitted the assault he was not brought forward as a witness Ise the prosecution. The above was dm ems for the prosecution, when the prisoner was called ga for his defence.

Yesterday the ordinary half-yea r ly meet i ng of pro prieton was held at the Bridge-house Hotel, London bridge, Mr. Maconeoon in the chair. The repast of the directors, and the statement of ac count+, which have already appeared is the Erpress of Monday last, were taken as read. The CHAIRMAN said—Gentlemen,—We trust that the report and statement of accounts which have been laid be. fore you will have your approbation. If a comparison be instituted between the half-year terminating on the 31st July, and the corresponding half of lost year, it will appear that there has been a considerable economy in all depart ments of the company's service—an economy which has been arrived at without any reduction of staff , and with every liberal prevision for the public service and security. The increased charge upon revenue during last half-year over the comparative half of last year amounts to 10,2940. Os. 84., and is to be attributed to an increase of 5001. in the rent of the Greenwich Railway, and to the additional capi tal expended in the approaching completion of the com pany's lines and works, and the larger stock of material necessarily purchased for their use. The increase in the amount of capital expended between the two periods is 421,6145. 3s. 6d., and there are 27 additional miles of rail way open. The proprietors will observe that during the three months of last half-year, prior to the eummencemend of a comparison with the period when the Exhibition traffic commenced, the traffic receipts showed an increase 0f14,8831. 9s. I ld., and that the subsequent diminution in the traffic was entirely in through, or coutinental traffic. Judging from the fact, and also from the receipts since the Ist of August, the directors are sanguine that after the 11th Oc tober, when last year the Exhibition was closed, the earn ings of this half-year will be greater than they were in the half-year ending on the 31st January last. The comparison of last half-year's traffic with the comparative half-year of 1850 is decidedly satisfactory, as it shows an increase of 53,111/. 70. 511. The use of periodical tickets on the line is steadily increasing. The income re ceived from that source during the year ending on the 31st July last, was £16,769!. 4.. rel., against 13,1871. from the same source for the year ending on the 31st July, 1851. showing an increase of 3,4811. 12s. sd. of receipts under this head. I give the receipt. for a year, as those fur • half-year would not afford a useful compariem, a large proportion of periodical tickets being taken at the close of thg year. There is a progressive increase in the goods traffic, the receipts fur the last half year being 6,702/. 91. 10d. greater than in 1851, and 13,6231. 10.. Gd, , greater than in 1850. The increase during the last six months in the weight of goods brought by the South Eastern route from Boulogne to London is 33 per cent , but the increase of earnings has not been more than 15 per cent. Until the company are able to establish • bonded warehouse at the London terminus, competition for the carriage of wine is impossible on our part, but the difficulties which occurred in making this arrangement now appear likely to be overcome, and then the daily communications by the South Eastern boats, and trains from Boulogne to London will, no doubt, occa sion an improvement in the receipts under this bead. There is a railway constructing round Paris to connect the southern with the northern railways; this, when the rail , ways to Marseilles are completed, will allow of merchandise being brought from Marseilles and Lyons to Boulogne without change of carriage, and, in regard to all objects for whose proses vation or delivery time is an object, the South Eastern route will, no doubt, command the traffic. It will be interesting to the proprietors to know that 14,646 through and return tickets were sold during the last half- Cear between London and P ar i s , B russe l s, Ai x- l a- C hapelle, ologne, Frankton, Leiptic, Berlin, Homburg, and Chalons. The system of selling through tickets has been extended since tl.e opening of the railway to Strasburg and Basle. It will not be too great an occupation of the time of the proprietors to he again reminded of the peculiar facilities which the South Eastern route now presents for continental traffic. These have been extended since the last general meeting of the proprietors by the establishment of a fixed daily service be. tween London and Paris, Brussels, and Cologne ; this being in addition to the night mail service, arid the daily tidal service to Puffs OW Folkestone and Boulogne. The locomotive and carriage and waggon department of the company ere both in first rate order, and the directors look forward to obtaining advantasea both from the superior condition of the engines and workshops, and the experience which has been gained in the adaptation of engines to the work for which they aro employed, and in improving their construction, and their consumption of fuel, which must gradually tell in the hallyearly outlay. The warrants for the dividend which the accounts present, as earned during the half-year, namely 7s. Gd. per 301. stock, will be com pleted and in your hands and payable on Monday next if it be your pleasure to pass a resolution according'y. Gentle. men, you will observe the position in which we stand in re gard to the agreement existing between the company and the Canterbury and Whitstable Railway Company. The directors anticipate that you will decide to become the pur chasers of this property, and that you will order a six months' notice to be given to the Canterbury and Whit stable Company accordingly. The effect et ill be, at the pre sent value of money, • saving, at the end of six months, of 2,0001. per annum ; and it is satisfactory to state that the net earnings of that railway will indemnity you for the perpetual charge which this company will then be liable to. The average gross earnings fur the last three years on this line have been 8,5001., and the net receipt., 3,8401. Since the 31st of July cabs have been received from proprietors is sneer to the amount of 9,7041. Gs. 13e1., leaving a total sum due to the company on this account of 70,4951. 18d. 4d. Of this sum, 24,8711. ss. is due on No. 4 scrip, which has not been registered, and which has be come absolutely forfeited to the company, the holden of the scrip not having entitled themselves to the shares. The issue of stock to represent this scrip, at present prices, would leave a surplus beyond the amount of arrear of 6,2081. Is. Bd. Deducting the 24,8711. se. thus accounted for from the total amount in arrear, there remains a sum of 51,6241. 13s. 4d. due from the proprietors. Gentlemen, you will observe that the mortgage debt of the company has been reduced last half-year from 1,997,0801. to 1,859,9751., being a reduction of 137,08.51.-361,5501- having been paid off, and 224,586/. renewed on favourable terms. The directors obtained estimates in March last from the engi neer, surveyor, and other officers employed by the com pany, which showed that the capital account of the company would stand at 7,433,7001. of consoli dated capital, at 481,3001. guaranteed stock, and with • mortgage debt of 1,784,3751. This estimate in cluded a valuation of surplus land and buildings amounting to 312,2001., and it left • margin for contingencies of about 40,0001. Of the property comprised in the valuation of 312,2001., 70,0001. is not producing any rental, but the pro perty represented by the remaining sum of 242,2001. pro duced in the last twelve months a rental of 15,2641. Pend ing the preens of realisation, or the decision of the pro prietors as to the portion of the property to be eventually retained, it will be needful for the company to exercise its mortgage powers to an extent of 180,0001. If the Canter bury and W hitstable Railway be purchased, further mortgage powers will be necessary. The directors do not attempt to conceal from themselves that • latitude must be allowed in regard to estimates for uncompleted works. The average charge on the present debt of the company is at the rate of 41 per cent. per annum. Of this debt nearly a millio n a t 4,4, 41, and 6 per cent. falls due before the end of 1864, and therefore the period is not far distant at which • material reduction may be made in the charge on revenue by dealing with this question on such terms as the lament and expected state of the money market will allow. I shall not trespass upon you with any opinion of my own or of the board of directors on this great question, but I will quote the opinion of an honourable proprietor in this company, eminent for his po sition in the City of London, and his judgment. I mean the hon. member for Westmoreland, Mr. Alderman Thomp son, who, in his own extensive concerns, and as • director of the Bank of England, has abundant access to informa tion on the subject. I observe that at • meeting of the Cum berland and Westmoreland Agricultural Society, the other day, the honourable gentleman spoke in these terms. People are amazed at the description of the enormous amount of gold whisk has come from California and Australia. I believe that to • great extent those accounts are true. I believe that gold to the amount of 20 millions per annum is realised in Australia alone. My experience tells me that it has already had the effect of lowering the rate of interest, thus affording greater facilities to the borrowers of money, and enabling the cultivators of great tracts of land to secure money to carry on their operations." With this authority before us, sad finding that we ourselves are able to raise money at the rate of 3/. per cent. per annum, it is obviously • time at which, if the proprietors see fit, they can arrange for the reduction in the charge made against revenue for the bond debt. There are three modes by which this can be brought about. The one is by allowing the mortgage debt to revolve, and to renew it from time to time on the best terms that the money market will allow, or by offering to the holders of the mortgage bonds • stock bearing a perpetual guaranteed rate of inte rest, to commence from the time when the present mort gages expire ; and this might be arranged by taking up the present mortgagee now, and paying the holders of them down, at once, the extra interest that would accrue spin them beyond the rate proposed to be granted in perpetuity, so as to settle the question immediately ; and it is for con sideration, if terms might he made for the redemption of this stock at par, at the end of 20 or 25 years, or, lastly, the measure may be effected byaffering tatkamount of the bead debt of the company to odt own proprietors, pro rota, in proportion to their holdings, at • fixed guaranteed rate of interest, and with an option of abandoning that guarantee within • limited number of years—say three, five, or seven years and merging their interest in that guaranteed stock in the general consolidated stock of the company ; and thereafter, looking to its earnings for a dividend. This latter mode the directors an inclined to think would be at once the moat equitable and the most advantageous to the proprietors, and it ap pears to the directors that if the mortgage debt were so offered to the proprietors as • consolidated stock, with • perpetual guarantee of 31 or 3! per cent. per annum, but with the option of within three, five, or seven years merging that stock into the general stock of the company, the ope ration could be carried out with advantage to individual propricors and to the general interests of the company. At the some time it must be borne in mind, that if the reduction in the value of money which has been going ma in consequence of the great imports of gold from Australia and from California should proceed, either 3i per cent. or me rest, s cent. per nnum may become • very high rata of i and circumstances may arisewhich would cause those who had accepted end parted with their proportion of the bond debt to be sufferers thereby. It seems to the directors that • reduction in the rate of interest on the government securities may be im pending. And if the 3 per cent. emboli were reduced to 2 per cent., it is clear that the rate of interest at which railway debentures will be renewable must become lower thaa it has ever yet been, and, Hanlon, delay in this . ^4..1 P•L* 3 : ! ,4 Y .
