All the mem bers of the committee of inquiry were present, as well as the bettors. Kr. W. DDlToooopiadtheatair. Theroomie which the meeting wee held was densely crowded, sad even before it was regularly eoestituted, there were lead ease assess the abareholdeis for an adjournment to the large room at the top of the house, but it was toned to be espied, Tee Swans.= having reed the notice esoemaieg the meeting. The OnalLitAlt said that the first step was to beer the report of the committee. This document, which it was agreed to take se read, visas follows : "Your committee met on the morning of the Ist Fels. for the purpose of decd e; a fi fth member, and an examining the re gister they toned that Yr. Alderman W. Lawreoce. the goat's man suggested at the meeting, was not • shareholder. The committee selected the muses of infimetial shareholders, and, after communication with several, they finally elected Mr. James Dawson, of Billiteromeam, a gendentes strabgly recommended. Your committee have met daily, at Oft adorable personal sacrifice, said have ressimd a large number of oommuoications from various proprieties to which it has been impossible for them to reply ; they have, nodes • des sense of the great respoesibitity devolving upon them, given undivided sod nowt attention to the investigation of the peat of the Joint Diemen% Company ; and they treat that the resselmions at which they have arrived may be the means of improviog the eeuditioo of the oompeny, and that their labours may be attended with advantage to the internale of their fellowohere holders. In the mane of their Investigatioas your ocur =Mei have not 041, eoeferred with the directors, both collectively and tedividually, but also with other parties; likewise with Mr. Quitter, the auditors, and other officers of the solopsey. The committee have also carefully ma mined the minutes of the board. At the first conference with the directors, held on the lac February, your own mine, inquired into the reale and OHM of the rennet eall, witsa they found that the operations of the company had sot been assficsed to discount business, but had been ex- Seeded is Febreery, 1864, to financial businees,which, even If justifiable at all, instead of being ennead to moderate inereesed, either through wait of firmness on the pert of the directors, or from the difficulty of stop sist tessections of thekind once commenced, to ea extent whish pmtiy oestriterted to the necessity for she all of W. in 1864. hang so, your committee are of opinion that the !hectors should thenceforth have exercised extreme can e= ; but we far from this having been does, it sinners that immedietely after the all the board actually sanc tioned a further large Bimetal operation. These and sub sequent additional financial transactions, including the going of the compeey'm acceptances—s branch of horniness which in a discount ,ompsoy is, in the judgment of your sommittee, strongly to be condemned—nearly all of w hic h were done upon terms which your committee are of opinion wire quite inadequate to the risk, led to such • lookop of the fund" of the company, that when your auditors were celled in to audit the accounts In January Let, ose of them, Mr. Atles, reported to the board, as he informed your ooteseithee, that he considered the company ifirancialir weak,' end that a large sum in ready matey would be required. Mr. Allen added that upoe the dires t/ire suggesting a call he coincided, and that finally he stated that a cell ‘l4Ol the only oourse to be punned. Kr. Ford, Mr. Allen's coonditor, informed your committee that the call originated with Mr. Allen end not with the board,--to feet, he (Mr. Ford) believed that the directors ' had tee intestate of such a thing.' On referring to the minutes of the directors upon this point, your committee find ii recorded that the auditors rated to the board they could sot sign the statement of amounts presented to them for shroatrue except on the understanding tbst no dividend should be paid for the past six mouths, and that • further all should be made on the shareholders.' Your committee are of opinion that your auditors, in taking the euountel course of requiring • cell as • coedition to their signing the accounts, exceeded their report duty it having been quite open to them to specially to the shareholders, bad they thought fit so to do. The directors, alter considering the auditors' opinioes and conditioner, called he Messrs. Quitter, Ball, and Co. to ad vise. The report of those gentlemen, es read at the meeting on the 3lat ult., stated, that under the circum stances therein referred to 'the most legitimate and efficient course to adopt, in ceder to meet the exigency in 'which the company is placed, Is to inoreme the paid-up capital by means of • call upon the shareholders.' Mr. Quitter stated to your committee that he thought if be bad been called in earlier he could have made arrangements to have rendered the call unnecessary. Your committee ham been unable, in the face of the many important mstterkthey have had S. investigate, to examine fully into the details of the company's securities and amounts ; but, after anxious deliberation, they have concluded to morn mead that the resolution of the board, making &call of si. per there, be remanded ; and that a call of 21. 10s. pm AM be made, payable in two irunahnents of U. ss. on the 31st March and It. 15e. on the Ist Key, which they iron will, under improved management, be sufficient. Were erAiring et the preceding conclusion, your committee neceeserily examined carefully the geoe, position of the among ; but, acting in the interests of the whole body of proprieton, they forbear disclosing particular figures or transaction ; in this view they appeal to the shareholders to support them. Your committee have found that the staff of the company has been Mauffloisok and that oe the part of the board there has not bean that 'ape/vision end attention to the company's affair, which the interests of the shareholders Imperatively demanded. Your committee consider that it as of the utmost importance that there shall at once be a thorough reorganisation of the board and management of the company. They think it right to remind the proprietors that some of the directors have but recently joined the board ; your committee are of opinion that the whole of the directors should be requested to tender their resignstioes, and that the meeting should be adjourned for (say) one week for the purpose of rcoeiviag the resigoations of the directors ; foe the election of a new board ; and far the appointment of other auditors. With reference to the managing direc tor, Mr. Wilkinson, whose conduct of the Moiness of the company hos, io some instanced, been wasting in prudence end caution, but who has apparently been overwhelmed with work, and over whom the board do not appear to have exercised sufficient supervision or control, your committee are of opinion, after much consideration, that Mr. Wilkinson's resignation at mid from the end ri the year having been accepted by the directors, it will, under all the circumstances, be better to leave this matter in the hands of the new board, but that et least me first-olass manager should be appointed forthwith. Your committee willingly aeknowle tee that every Informa tics has been afforded to them by the directors and officers of the compeer, and have pleasure in speaking*, the attention end seal of Mr. Weetrup, the secretary, In oonolnsioe, your committee desire to state that they have given fall attenticia to the suggestions which were made at the meet ing on the 31st January, ea well as to the various other megestions which have been made. both privately end Publicly, sines the meeting, and to the comimmoom which they would involve. Acting after mature deliberation, with the sole view of benefiting the company's large sad iefe ential proprietary, your committee ere numinous to urging the recommendations herein set forth as the best possible I means of giving effect to the desirable and practical object o holden f protecting sad advancing the interests of the share- The hungry jury soon the verdict sign, And wretches hang. that jurymen any dine. With regard to the second part of his bill—the power of diachargteg juries—he proposed that the judge I should not have the power of discharging juries except in the cases mentioned in the bill. rho exoentions specified included the oases where the jury disagreed, when the judge booms ill. or where • *yeast became ill. By the 10th awash, proposed that the judge should be empowered to receive a verdict on the ficeda Mr. NEATE seconded the motion. Mr. S. B. MILLER thought it would be a dangerous rodent to allow jades to serrate in crimioal owe The result would be that is *ease where party feeling ran high they would be decided outside if the court aid mot within Legislation out unnecessary, and in this ease would be mischievous. Mr. WATKIN supported the second reading, and thought that •elear caw had been made out foe the change pro posed. Mr. HAB.DY considered that the question of keeping together and discharging juries ought not to be lightly legislated epos, and recommended that the second reading should be postponed until the Court of Error had decided out the ease of Charlotte Winsor. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL recommended the same muss. Sir 0. O'LOGHLEN said he should postpone the second reading till the 18th of April. The motion for the second reading was the. withdrawn. Miami Da.

Mr. GALSWOITHY said he was in a difficulty, being un- able to state more than was stated in the report, bet if he could answer any questions he would do so. An angry discussion ensued, in the coons of whieh the Chairman said that it was the Gra coavietion of a ma jority of the board that a volnotiry winding-np would be preferable to adopting the report of the committee. The report of the committee of inquiry was rinani moult adopted, sod after a good deal of dis cussion upon various points respecting the past proceedings of the directors, the following resolution was agreed to : "That the committee of isvostipti-n be re-appointed, and that the meo'ing he adjourned to Wednesday, the 28th, at 12 o'clock, for the purr.

English railway stocks, however, have advanced in a few cues, and foreign bonds are steady. The shares of the financial and discount companies have been little dealt in, and, with the exoeption of a slight rise in London Financial, are unaltered. The transactions generally are limited, most of the operators showing a disposition to await the result of the deliberations to-morrow of the Bank Directors. 991, 9- Indian government securities were quiet. Ex chequer Bills remain at 7s. to 2a. dia. There were fewer transactions in foreign stocks, and the tone was tether less favourable. Spanish Passive the Committee's Certificates, and Ewan scrip receded per cent., and Turkish of 1865, 1. Spanish descriptions temporarily ad vanced in the morning. Turkish Bads of 1864 however, have rises 2 per oast. Brazilian seep also improved I, and Sardinian Five per OWL and Venezuelan Bonds of 1862 were inquired fee. This was the special settling day in the scrip.th the Egyptian Railway Loan. The floating supply of scrip in the market being sufficient to allowed the settlement of the account, the " hackman tion " passed off in the afternoon, and the piles declined to i t to 11 prem. There were few deslingo in the shares of tie financial companies, and the only variatipn worthy of notice was a reduction of ils. London Financial.

American securities were in demand, at ea ie. wovement. The 5.20 Bonds rose per cent; Erie Railway shares, 4; and Illinois Central, 4. The last prices were as follows :-5.20 Bonk 661 to 1 ; Erie Railway shares, 63 to 4, ex div. ; Illinois Central, 781 to 4. Owing to the anticipation that the Bank rate will be lowered to-morrow to 7 per cent., there is very little business in the discount market to-day, although the best paper would be freely taken at to I per cent, below the present official minimum. The charge for short loans in the Stock Exchange is 7 per cent. Tye government broker has bought to-day 15,0001. New Three per Cents. for the sinking fund. Consols are now quoted 87i to for money, and 87f to for the account (March 8). Foreign stocks are quiet, with few dealings ; and the only change in the speculative securities is a rise of I per cent in Spanish Certificates.

There is now little or no demand for bar silver or Mexican dollars for she East, and the quotations are nominally unaltered, at be. op. and 4e. 11 d. per ounce, respectively. • - The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were again firm, and the tendency of the rates was in favour of this country, especially u regards short bills on Paris.

We learn by telegraph from Calcutta that on the 15th instant the Bank of Bengal reduced their rate of dismount one per cent. This measure of relief has doubtless been hailed with satisfaction at Cal cutta, where, according to the last letters received here, the rate of discount on the beet securities had reached 13 to 15 per cent. Letters of the 19th ult, mention that government acceptances were being charged 13 per cent, or 1 Per cent, higher than was reached even in the crisis of January, 1863. In the bazaar loans were not easily obtain able even at 14 per cent., and the tightness of money was seriously affecting all branched of trade. The half-yearly dividend on Caledonian Railway stock is officially announced at the rate of 74 per cent, per annum, against 74 for the corresponding period of 1864. The stock was not affected in price by this notification. We are informed that the directors of the Com mercial Union Assurance Company have decided upon declaring a dividend of 74 per cent., free of income tax, for the year ending the 31st Deoember last, payable on the 7th March. A meeting of the Mauritius Land Credit and Agency Company (Limited) took place yesterday, when an ad interim dividend of 5 per oent, for the half-year was declared. At the general meeting of the Humber Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company (Limited), held yester day, it was agreed to wind up the undertaking, under the. appointment of Mr. Child, as liquidator, with the assistance of a committee.

A general meeting of the Universal Private Tele graph Company is called for the 7th March. The half-yearly meeting of the Railway Passen gers Assurance Company will be bold on the 7th March, and will be made "extraordinary" for various purposes, amongst which is, "to alter and repeal such and so many of the existing laws, regu lations, and provisions of the company as limit the rate of interest payable to the shareholders upon the paid-up capital of the company to 41. per cent. per annum, and in lien thereof to authorise the pay ment to the shareholders of interest upon such capital after a rate, at the discretion of the direc tor% not exceeding 101. per cent. per annum."

A special meeting of this board was held this day, Sir Jona Thwarter' in the chair, to take into eon. adoration the various clauses of the Cattle Plague Bill, sad to pass such orders in reference to it as might be neosesary. The ClialliNix said that they ware called together rather suddenly to take into consideration the Cattle Pietas Bill, and he wee sure that the board would with the promptness of action which was the first element of suc cess come to some determinations which should be as effective as any other municipality in the wintry. He was not quite sore what the law would be in the matter, but one bill had been passed and another was in contemplation, which was to include the whole .f the metropolis, with the exceptioo of the City of London, which was in the hands of local authority and excluded from the provisions of the act. He would suggest that on this oecesioa they should consult together about the matter, and then adjourn the meeting until Friday, whin they would have an opportunity of coming to such reeolutioos as they might think fit. The metropolis was a municipality perhaps more difficult to deal with than any other portiou of the country. Liver pool, for instance, and other large tows. had a compost municipal legislation, and a smell area, whereas Loden was a number of detached tower, and exteoded over a very wide ares. He bad made inquiries into the instructions ' liven to the police with regard to the diseased cattle. He had also read the order in aonneil relative to the matter, ' avid hid also called that morning nose Sir It. Mayne. He . bad gone to the Privy Ociunoil, and seem Yr. Ban. on the matter, and had found that every assistance would be rendered 11 1 that department. Being unions to ascertain everything he could about the matter, he &lie went to the Horne-office, and found that the official, there were ! most desirous of anointing, aiding, and so-eperating with the board. It was intended to appoint inspectors over the several districts, who would have to make a report to the Dowd, and the latter would have to regulate the w h o l e proceeding, to overlook the inspectors, to give orders for the slaughtering of the cattle which had been °oedemas& to conduce the burying of the cattle, to. There would also have to be a committee to value the cattle which i had beset thus slaughtered.
