INAUGURAL BANQUET OF THE LORD MAYOR OP DUBLIN. SPEECH OF THE LORD-LLECUTENANT. DUBLIN, TOBEIDAY NIGHT. The inaugural banquet of the Lord May or took ome to-night. His lordship, in proposing the toast of " Her i bi ts iy,* said, now that she had resolved to open who opee in person, he hoped she would pay a prolonged visit to Irelgl, in order to show that the bulk of the Irish pae pie were not Icily warm-hearted, but really loyal. (Most th ibudestio cheering.) The toast of "The Lord-Lieutenant" was received with great cheering. The Loan MAYOR stated he had acted with vigour, tempered with respect for opinion in this free c oun t r y, in the administration of the laws. Lord WODIEOOBI said he had passed through a period of anxiety in Irish affairs, and he was to be judged by his acts. He had constantly striven to understand the wants of the country. The past year had been • ohicollid one ; they had been menaced with a eon apbsey—(great hissing)—which, though powering to ,danger the peace of the kingdom, had inflicted great injury on Inland. Emissaries front America had been employed in raking up the almost extinguished embers of sedition, but the government would enforce the laws and maintain the peace of the country. (Great cheer ing.) He appealed to all whether political trials bad ever been conducted with greater impartiality. The prisoners themselves had confessed this. He would add that the government would employ every tones to maintain the peace, knowing they had the sup port of all classes in Ireland, for not one man of position bad joined the oonspiracy, which aimed at the confiscation oe PrePtetl- Then was great cheering during the delivery of these sentiments. JOINT-STOCK DISCOUNT COMPANY (LIMITED).-(THIS DAY.) The filth ordinary general meeting of the pro prietors was held at noon at the London Tavern ; Mr. W. Due in the chair. The meeting was a very crowded one ; and the directors on entering the room, were received with marks of disapprobation, mingled with cries of " order " end "fair play." The report, which appeared in the 'Express of yesterday, baying been taken as read, The QUITMAN said he could assure the meeting most nafeigaedly that this was the moat painful occasion on eltioh he had ever had to addreis a public meeting. He was army that the state of things was not so satisfac tory as he could wish ; but the state of things was by ao means as bad as the quotations in the money market would lead anyone to suppose. In such CAM rumour always magnified and west to extremes. He did not hesitate to any that by judicious management any very heavy losses might be averted, though no doubt it would take time. As stated in the report the capital of the company was to a certain extent locked up. (A Voids—" A second time.") He feared it wee not a se- mad time. He thought the capital was locked up when a Stet call was made, but he repeated his belief that by judicious management any great lose would be averted. There had been a difference of opinion between the auditors and the board, and the result was that the latter determined tocall in the assistance of Messrs. Quitter and Ball. Those gentlemen at once undertook the office of examining the accounts, and are would now read their re port. It was addressed to the directors, and was as follows : "Having at your request made an inspection of the company's accounts to 31st December last, and duly con sidered the facts in connexion therewith, as explained to us by yourselves and the auditors, we find that certain parties for whom you have come under large advances amid liabilities are unable to meet their engagements to the company in due mune, and also that a considerable amount of securities held against such advances and liabilities are not susceptible of immediate conversion." A Mummeries—What is the data of that report ? The CHAIRMAN—The 29th of January. He then continued reading se follows:—"Under these circumstances we arrive at the conclusion that the most legitimate and efficient course for you to adopt in order to meet the exigency in which the company is thus placed is to increase the paid-up capital by maned a call upon the shareholders, and, although some natural and not unreasonable objections may be felt against the making of a call, we do not hesi tate to recommend that measure as the only adequate alternative that has been suggested for restoring and strengthening the credit of the company." (A voice, "It will occur again.") He hoped effectual means would be adopted to prevent its occurring again. The directors were willing to continue to act • but if the shareholders preferred it they would re tire. (Hear, bear.) An exhibition of feeling on that occasion could only tend to injure the concern ; and on that ground he deprecated it. No doubt the cell was distressing to many shareholders ; but they must look at the state of the concern. It was necessary to make the call in order to retrieve their credit before the public, and to enable them to carry on, and be treated eventually to right, the concern. (Hear, hear.) Suggestions had been made for winding up. (Cheers.) A SHAREHOLDER—Has Mr. Wilkinson resigned! The CHAIRMAN said be should come to that preaently. If the company were to wind up, the Court of Chan cery would, he believed, immediately order a call. The directors bad postponed the meetiog as long as they could in order that the proprietors might have time to make their arrangements. He held io his hand a letter of resignation from Mr. Wilkinson. (Loud cheers, and cries of "Hurrah.") He (the Chairman) could well understand dissatisfaction; but let them look at the circumstance. Mr. Wilkinson was an admirable discount officer; but, unfortunately, in the early history of the company, they were led to embark in financial operations, and Mr. Wilkinson, as managing director„ was left alone to manage the concern. (Cries of " Your own tulle") There must be managing control somewhere. Mr. Wilkinson undertook too much ; he had broken down in mind and body, and binee he now asked to be released. Mr. Wilkinson, before tendering his resignation, saw the necessity of re-organis ing the concern and realising the assets; and if the pre sent directors continued in office they would take steps for that purples. Again entreating the shareholders not to show temper, he begged to move that the report and statement of accounts now submitted be adopted. (Loud cries of "Na.") Mr. BROWN, deputy-chairman, in seconding the motion, said the company held securities which could not at present be realised. Some of those securities depended on the development of railway traffic, sal without time their property would be sacrificed. Who were to hold those securities in the meantime? It was always best for men to work with their own capital. The company was not involved in treineedons losses, hat it held securities which it could not part with without sacrificing them. They were not alone in that position—the London Financial Company was in a similar (me. One word as to the manner in which their great difficeltiee arose. Not an atom of responsibility rested on the chairmao, wha had only recently joined the board, and there were other direct , rs in the same position. He (Me Brown) must, however, take his sham of responsibility. The difficulties of the company arose from what was vaguely termed a " financial operattoo." An advance was made to the Atlantic and Great Western Railway Company on its second mortgage bonds, taken at the rate of 45. He would give 70 to-day for some of them if he had sufficient capital. —(A Voice The amount"')—He thought it was sot de sirable to state the amount—(ob, oh !)—not that he was afraid to state it. The Caaramate observed that there were other parties concerned in this matter who did not like their affairs to be exposed. The meetiog had the report of Messrs. Quitter and Ball before them, and it was open to them to appoint new directors. Mr. Beowe continued—He was not present at the first board meeting at which an advance was made. The neat advance was made without the board beiog consulted, and it was twice as much as that advancer' first. That brought him (Mr. Brown) into collision with the inaaaging director. who had a considerable amount of discretion left to him as regarded the discount of bills. The managing director was a person of great experience as a bill broker, and Imam the discretion vested in him. The upshot of the matter was that they were dragged on, advancing money by driblets to keep the thing going, and this was the explanation of the call of 1864. He himself preposed a number of resolutions at the board with the view of checking the evil, one of which was that no transaction of the kind in question should be entered Into in future without the inaction of the board. He wasted to stop the evil from going on ; but the thing appeared to have got beyond his control. He wrote repeatedly to Mr. Wilkinson on the subject, and that gentleman was not very well pleased at his interference. (Biwa) Mr. Brown was proceeding to read the corre spondence, when. The Onenteen objected to such a course as irregular, adding that Mr. Brown had said enough in his own defence. Mr. Baowe having bowed to this appeal, expressed him self in favour of making a call. Mr. Banes thought it would be best for all parties if no amendment were attempted. (Cheers.) He thought they should know to what extent they had suffered. In his opinion if 151. were paid up out of W. it was not likely they could ever have a good dividend. Moreover, what security was there that the whole amount would not be celled up, sad what security would there then be for cm toners or the public! He was io favour of amalgamation or winding up. He thought a committee of five shareholders should be appointed to confer with the directors as to the best mode of proceeding. The locking up of the capital was ao doubt the weak point of the coders; bat wheeetault was that? (" Hear, hear " and einem) Mr. Wilkinermai re fignafioa would rele ase 4,C:./1. a year to be added to dividend. (Hear.) The total expense of management was 12,000 r. a year, sad he submitted that under the eareurnstances the directors were not justified in taking any manneratien. (Cheers.) There were some directors whom he meld not acquit of blame for not having acted earlier in reticence to th's matter. He then asked fee information with regard firths state of the company's affairs. The Catmint observed that Me Wilkinson's resignation rsisit 0 off re 0 g • 0 tae ite to 1, 0 311. THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 31, 1866. did sot take effect immediately. (Hisses, and Brim of " You should have said that before.") Formosa time Mr. Wilkinson's assistance would be necessary. (Hisses.) He then read Mr. Wilkinson's letter of resignation, in which he referred to the state of his health as a ground of resignation, adding that as he could bring matters to au issue better than any one else he had determined for the present to devote to it hie best merges, that be should give notice at Midsummer next of his intention to retire at the end of the year, and he suggested that • suitable person should be appointed at moo to take the supervision of the financial and credit business and the seawrities connected therewith. Mr. Osi.swowrav thought that Mr. Wilkinson ought to retire at once--(cheep)—or as soon as he had presen..c.l an account. He agreed with Mr. Eames that there should be a committee—not a committee of investigation, that was s natty word— (No, no)—but a committee of five sensible business men, who would confer with the directors, and advisee them as to the best steps to be taken. He was perfectly satisfied that if this course were adopted it would issue in the eventual re-establishment of the credit of the company. It would be for such a committee to con sider whether a call of 21. 10s. would not be sufficient, and if it would that would be a greet relief to many of the shareholders. The CHAIRMAN said the directors would be delighted if the suggestion just made was adopted, and he hoped that the two gentlemen who had spoken with such good temper and sense would be members of the committee. (Loud cries for Mr. Ball) Mr. BALL said he should be happy to afford any exp'ana tion, but he thoug ht the beat course w o uld he for the meeting to abstain from entering into details, and adopt the suggestion just made. (Hear, hear.) Mr. EAKZB said, seeing what the feeling of the inteing MAN he would propose the following resolution :—"'!That a committee of five shareholders of this company be appointed to confer with the board of directors upon the present posi tion and future prospects of the company, and to report to an adjourned general meeting." Mr. GALSWORTHY seconded the resolution. A SHARSHOLDKR suggested the postponement of, the call in the interval. Mr. EMHART moved as an amendment that the meeting should be adjourned foe a month. The CHAIRMAN observed that the first amendment, that of Mr. Eames, must first be disposed of. Substantially the two propositions woes the same. (Hear, hear.) He then put the amendment, which was carried unanimously. Mr. WILKINSON then proceeded amid loud hisses to address the meeting. He said his observations would be very short. He rejoiced at the ' appointment of a committee of investigation, as it would be seen who should bear the responsibility of the past. He would leave his re signation in the hands of the committee, and he was ready to resign whenever they thought it desirable. (Cheers.) A SHARRHOLDKR thought that if a financial superinten dent was appointed, Mr. Wilkinson, having less work, should have lase remuneration. Mr. WILKIIIIION said he would leave everything in the hands of the committee. He was • large shareholder, and he wanted a thorough investigatioo. (Hear, heir.) The Casrawsir observed that, with the assistance of Messrs. Quitter and Ball, the investigation would not be • long one. After some discussion the following gentlemen were ap pointed to act on the committee : _Mr. Eames, Mr. Gals worthy, Mr. Gediatly, and Mr. Godfrey, it being left to these gentleman to choose the fifth member. The committee then adjourned for a fortnight, on the understanding that if the report of the committee should not then be ready there would be a further adjournment. A vote of thanks to the Chairman terminated the proceeding.. SHARE LISTS.-(THIS DAY.) thri dOwow.

The investigation repecting the foundering 01 the London was rimmed yesterday, when evidence was taken of the surveyors, shipwright', riggers, mast makers, and others, showing that the beet materials were used, and that the work wee performed in a superior manner. Captain ➢fcLean, emigration officer of the port of Lon• i don, on being examined, said he oonsidered the ship per• ! fact in every way. She womanly bound to have six boats, but had seven. She did not appear to be too low in the water, and had eight feet free board at lowest part. The inquiry was then adjowned. PROVINCIAL SNARE MARKETS.

A great reform meeting was held last night at Manchsster, in the Free Trade Hall, which was dourly crowded. Mr. Geo. Wilson, the Chairman of the National Reform Union, by whioh the meeting hied been cilled, presided, and speeches were delivered by Mr. Haley, M.P., Mr. Potter, M.P., Mr. Hibbert, M.P., Mr. Cheatham, M.P., Mr. Whitworth, Mr. Philips, M.P., Mr. Allen, M.P., Mr. Fa L. Leathern, and others. The resolutions declared that no measure would be satisfactory which did not embraced liberal an extension of the franchise as the bill introduced by Earl Russell in 1860. It was also re solved that the Execrative Committee of the National Reform Union, under whose auspices the meeting was held, should b e sequested to appoint a deputation to wait upon Lord Russell, and press upon his lordship the necessity for • reduction of the franchise and • more equal distribution of political power, as wall as "the policy" of voting by ballot. The dfoniteur des Arts states that M. Vital- Dubray, sculpthr, has just completed a full-sized status of the Empress Josephine, in white marble, which is shortly to be erected in the open space in front of the bridge of the Alms. The Empress is represented io • court dress, stsndi sg. She bolds • medallion of the Emperor in her left hand, on which her eyes are fixed. Her right hand is resting on a shaft of the marble. The New York Tribune has caused unspeakable unaternstion in the Fenian camp in New York by making the following announcement concerning the whereabouts of Head-Centre Stephens :—" We are at liberty to state that the reports of his being in France, or in any other country than Ireland, are entirely without foundation. President Stephens is, and has been ever since his escape from British shackles, within less than one mils front the place at which his arrest was effected. This we learn from good authority." The great reaping machine manufacturer, M'Cor mick, of Chicago, has given 10,000 dole, to Washington College. Vireo's, of which General Lee is president, to establish the M'Clormick professorship of mechanics. THE CASUAL POOR THEN, AND NOW.—The door was opened and the master and a couple of his officials made rapid selections from a dreadfully eager crowd of cold and hungry men, women, and children, who surged and struggled around the doorway, their pinched cheeks and awfully anxious eyes bearing unfailing testimony to their dire necessity. Cris& of "Do for God's sake take me in, sir —" Tee never been hers before, sir ; Tve not, indeed"—" Pray let me in, my deer, kind master !" made up a pitiful chorus, until "Quite full—abut up !" was metho dically shouted from within, when the harsh, cracked voices subsided into a despairing wail of *ohs and groans, which, penetrating the closed doors aad curtained windows, was head with horrible distinctness where we sat. In those days a workhouse was to the casual pauper a I , tterv, in which there wets fewer prizes than blanks, for the Homeless Paw Act was in its infancy. and the necessity of obeying its provisions had not been brought home to the gnudians. I devoted that wet sod bitter night to ascer taining what became of the poor creatures I bad seen rejected at the workhouse door, and while some suoceeded in begging a few puce from passers-by wherewith to purchase shelter, the moraieg dawned upon thirteen outcasts who were still lying upon the slimy pavement, honeelew, helpless, and forlorn. lem proud to kilos that the arc suet I wrote of this sad experieue attracted the attention of the authorities, that an official visit was paid to the workhouse referred to within a few boars of the pub lication of my narrative, end thou concerned were effec tually warnell of the risk they ram of openly defying the law. Let it be borne in mind that such • mate es I haws deseribed wse of common oceurrence shadow months ego, and is now impossible, and the task of remedying lug evils will appear an easy one.—.T. C. Parkinson, in the Fortnightly Review. MONEY ILIBILMT.-(THIS DAY.) Oats o'Oweis In the Stock Exchange to-day the dealers are chiefly engaged in the completion of the fortnightly settlement, and few transactions have taken place in stocks and shares. The tendency of prices is dull, in consequence of a strong demand for money, combined with the with drawal of gold from the Bank yesterday.

There is a good demand for money to-day, but . chiefly for loans in connexion with the settlement ' in the Stock Exchange, where the rate for advances till to-morrow on English government securities is as high as 74 to 8 per cent.

Advices from Paris, of Monday's date, state that the Credit Mobilier had announced in the evening paper that a general meeting will be held on the 12th February for the purpose of obtaining the assent of the shareholders to the proposal for doubling the capital. The directors appear to be so certain of obtaining this assent that the new shares are offered for sale from the let February.

MARIC-LANE.--(THIS DAY.) Only limited quantities of home-gems wheat came fresh to hand to-day, and nearly the whole of the supply was re oei►ed in poor condition. The few fine samples on offer found buyers at the rates current on ; but damp and inferior produce wee almost unsaleable, at very ime guise prime. There WY a moderate mipply of foreign wheat on the stands. In all descriptions sales programed slowly ; never theless no alteration took place in the quotations. Floating carams of wheat were in fair request, hut other kinds of produce afloat commanded very little attention. Prices, however, were fairly supported. Barley, the show of which was moderate, moved off slowly , but at late rates. Malt was quiet on former terms. The supply was goad. Only moderate supplies of oats were on offer ; never:kr I I leas, the demand was inactive, at about st►t °nary cur rencies. The transactioes in beans were on a limited scale, at Monday's quotations. The inquiry for peas was dull, on former terns. The flour trade rol-.1 quiet, at late rates. Linseed end rapemed changed bands slowly, but at fell prices. Agricultural seeds were very dull.
