Ds. 9d. /he directors said they met the shareholders under the con- Soden that the bank has now fairly passed through the pe eled of trial to which it was exposed by the mersurtile dims ws of 1864 and 1863. lf, in the mars* of realising mearities, My further allowances had yet to be made for bad debts, there was, on the other hand, a reseenable prospect of iv threrial on debts valued too low in past estimates. The bank in London had now been placed en • thoroughly independent basis, and, during the past few swaths has been enabled to retire under discount as own acceptances at the minimum bank rate. llis subject of reducing the liability of the shareholders lad had the serious attention of the directors ; but, after stature reflection, they were of opinion that the time had i so o tzt come for taking action in regard to it. The share , however, might rest assured that the directors sa rs fully alive to the importance of the question, and sky would not fail, should a suitable occasion a rise, to king forward a scheme for carrying the change into effect. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report sad accounts, congratulated the meeting on the position of Se company. When he joined the board a year ago it was to endeavour to pull the bank through its difficulties. The bettors bed done their best towards that end, sad their efforts had been ably seconded by those of the at the Cape, Mr. Stewart. There had been great = r es in the management of the bank, but with the ex perience gained such mistakes would not occur in future. All the losses were made before Mr. Stewart went out ss teenager. lie then read a letter from Mr. Stewart to show that the board were justified in their estimate of the losses. Under the articles a certain amount must be set aside as sreserve fund. In this case the sum thus appropriated was 1,0001.,and altogether there was a surplus of 3,000/. after raying the dividend. The bank in London was in a very good position as regarded means. During thepanic they were enabled easily to meet all their obligationslatterly they had been prepared to discount any good bills that pre sented themselves. As regarded the current year, he observed that the reports lately received from the Cape showed that the profits bad been inereasing and the ex penditure diminishing. (Cheers.) A SHARIMILDER wished to know whether anything had been dons towards effecting an amalgamation with the South African board. The CHAIRMAN replied in the negative. The SHAREHOLDER tbonght it MU understood at the last meeting that some steps would be taken by the boani for that purpose. The CHAIRMAN was of opinion that after what occurred it war for the shareholders to express their views again. (Hear, hear.) Mr. MACKENZIE, a director, adverting to the question of reducing the liability, observed that for that purpose it would be necessary to reconstruct the company. Mr. Karresa, after some remarks as to the desirablenem of reducing the liability, and for that purpose reconstruct ing the company, moved an amendment to the effect that the report be adopted, with the exception of the paragraph Mann to that subject, and declaring it to be the opinion of the meeting that the directors should prepare a scheme of reconstniction to be laid before the shareholders for early consideration. Kr. IiuDGKIN seconded the amendment. A SHAREHOLDER thought that the best course would be to reorenmead the directors to consider the question of re sonstmction together with the question of amalga mating with another bank. Mr. F. etteruan understood the board not to be opposed to arualgamatiou, but to regard it as one of time and ex pediency ; and in that point of view he thought their opinion ought to be respected. (Hear, hear.) Mr. higamen entirely concurred in this view. In reply to a SHAREHOLDER, The CHAIRMAN said, the question of amalgamation was now under consideration of the board, but there were great difficulties in the way. Mr. IVeateres deprecated delay in reducing the amount of liability as tending to injure the company. He thought it very desirable that half the capital should be returned to the shareholders. The CHAIRMAN, in reply, observed that his first effort on joining the board was to bring about an amalgamation with the South African Banking Compnny ; but the spirit of the latter, as evinced at its meet ing and elsewhere, was anything but favourable. He then believed an amalgamation desirable for both companies ; but he would add that he now thought the Standard Bank was in the best position. As regarded the reduction of liability, he remarked that it would be attended with great difficulties, and that in the case of an other bank it was decided on good legal authority that the thing could not be .lone unless the shareholders were unanimous. The question was beset with difficulties. The object might involve a compulsory winding-up, Lord Justice Knight Bruce having expressed the opinion that it did not follow that a voluntary winding-up was for the interest of the shareholders. The amendment having been lost by a large majority, the report was adopted, and a dividend in accordance there with declared. The meeting terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman and his colleagues. INATGURATION OF MR. JOHN STUART MILL, M.P., Mt LORD RECTOR Or ST. ANDREW'R UNIVERsiTy.-11 is understood that Mr. J. S. Mill will visit St. Andrew's early in January, when he will deliver his inaugural address as Lord Rector of the University.—Dundee Adver tiser. -- - AN EAGLE SHOT IN HY LANDS PARK.—On Thurs day, the 18th instant, an eagle made its appearance in the park, causing great consternation among the rooks and other birds. It was seen again the next day, and wu observed to leave the ice-house clump. The keepers expecting the rare visitor to roost in the high trees of the clump, posted themselves with guns towards dusk on each side of the ice-house, and had scarcely taken up their position when he came soaring over and was knocked down by Williamson, and with some difficulty enured alive. It proven to be a white tailed or Cinereous eagle, Ha/4We. aibiciaa. It is a bird of this year, in fine plumage, and measures seven feet across the wings. On the 24th it was alive and likely to recover from its wound, which appears to be only in the wing. This species has been taken in most of the counties on the east coast ; and one is recorded by Terrell as having been shot in Forest.—Chelstaferd Chronicle. A DINNERLESS PARTY.— A TENDER REPROACH. —We are far from blaming the whips for the importance they have attached to the social intimacy between the re public of letters and the party chiefs of a polished aristo 'acr. On the contrary, we think that in this object their ambition was as noble RS their sagacity was profound. And we have dwelt the more seriously on this brilliant attri bute of the whig aristocracy because it is well worthy the emulation of these who adorn and lead the great division of intellectual opinion which it is our pride to espouse. We are loth to concede to Mr. Mill that a party which in the last generation included the names of Coleridge, of Wordsworth, of Walter Scott, Southey, Wilson, and De Quincy, and which in our time could produce in the lists of eccounter champions who shields even Mr. Mill might hesitate to touch with his lance, constitutes the stupid portion of inankind. And seeing that there 11 no parliamentary party in which political talent is so readily acknowledged for itself, and estimated at its own value, independently of the accidents of birth and fortune, as that which arrays under conservative banners the largest numerical army of men favoured by birth and fortune, we cannot without a murmur of re proach against our own leaders concede to the whig oli garchy the double privilege of monopolising political power in the state and intellectual distinction in social circles. There is nothing in the normal conditions of the two great rival parties which renders the superior plea santness and sociability of whig houses an advantage beyond she reach of rivalehip. In the reign of Anne it was the tory houses and the tory clubs which attracted the proud giants of literature. And a foreigner or an Englishman who wished to find Swift in his happiest mo ment must have sought for him at the table of Harle7 or St. John. Surely at this day, when conservatism, if it mean anything, is infinitely more identified with the cause of literature and art and science—the cease of culti vated imagination, retiued taste, and severe reasoning— than could have been possible to the most graceful form of toryism in the reign of Anne—surely at this day the brilliant and scholarlike chiefs of the conservative party might better contrive to gather and concentrate around them those creators or illuminators of public opinion, who have an interest far deeper than that of the wealthiest sad haughtiest noble in England in the maintenance of insti tutions so friendly to the liberty of thonght.—.Quarkr/Y Recut'', new number. i9 ttr agailit :Won. 40 4 1,4140, thelbik ce of C o t o ; Felaol, • 11660 t° WWI e Nee lie erde asked e (IWO eau te "pc.

The stock markets are generally firmer to-day in consequence of the fine weather and the improve ment in the accounts of the Bank of England, as shown by the return just published. There is a moderate demand for the funds, which have risen per cent. British railway securities and foreign bonds are likewise in request, and have advanced in several cases. North British stock hu been largely oversold of late by the speculators for lower price; and a " backwardation" of per cent. is consequently freely offered to-day for the loan of the stock, in anticipation of the settlement, which will com mence to morrow. There is less disposition to sill bank shares ; and in the market for financial de scriptionaa further rise of 7s. 6d. has taken place in General Credit. International Financial are also 2s. 6d. better. There is an increased demand for money to-day, but the supply is very large. The general rate for choice bills is 4 per cent., with exceptional transactions at 3 1 . A large amount of Indian paper has just arrived at maturity. The quotation in the Stock Exchange for loans from day to day on English government securities is 2i to 3 per cent. The Bank of France return shows this week an increase of 448,000/. in the bills discounted, and a decrease of 307,0001. in the coin and bullion. Consols are quoted at 89ii to for money, and 8.4 to for the account (Nov. 8). Foreign stocks are in demand and firm. Turkish of 1865, Spanish Passive, and Italian of 1861 have ' improved Ito per cent. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 5 4. to 55} ; ditto, 1865, 291 to ; Greek, in tol4} ; Spanish Passive, 21} to 224 ; ditto Certificates, 14 to / ; Italian of 1661, 55} to ; Mexican, 15i to f. American securities were steady at the closing prices of yesterday. The 5-20 Bonds are quoted 68 to I ; Erie Railway shares, 50} to 31 ; and Illinois Central, 77} to I. lAnglo-American Telegraph shares are 2s. 6d. higher, at 15i to 16; but Atlantic Telegraph Eight per Cent. Preference show no movement, at 41 to 5. International Financial shares are quoted 11 to lk dis. ; London Financial, 16 to 15 dia. ; General Credit, 1 to 1 dis. ; Credit Foncier, 4i to 4} dia. ; National Discount, to jj prem. ; and Hudson's Bay, 16} to 171. HALF-PAST THREE O'CLOCK. Consols remain firm at 89g to 4 for money, and 89i to t fur the account. Many of the English railways and foreign stocks have experienced a fresh advance since 1 o'clock upon numerous pur• chases, both bowl fide and speculative. About 48,0001. in gold has been bought by the Bank. No withdrawals have been effected. At Paris to-day the Three per Cent. Rentee opened at 68fr. 95e., being 1-16 per cent. better than yesterday. There were inquiries yesterday for Confederate Bonds, and the price was term, at stt to 6, appa rently on the idea that the quarrel between the President and the Congress may result in some- ' thing favourable to the Southern States and their creditors. The amount of gold bought by the Bank yester day was 181,0001., while the sum withdrawn was only 10,0001., for Alexandria. the Luxor has arrived at Liverpool from New Orleans, with 112,0001. in specie. The steamer Washington has arrived at St. Na zaire with the mails from the Pacific and 40,0110/. in specie. The silver market is fiat in the absence of de mand for the East and the Continent. Bars are quoted ss. Oid. to ss. Id. per ounce, and Mexican dollars 4s. 111 d. to 4s. 1l d. At a meeting on Wednesday of the creditors of Messrs. Vernon and Suns, iron shipbuilders, of Liverpool, it was announced that satisfactory ex planations having been given, the bankruptcy of the firm had been annulled, and that Mr. Vernon would shortly recommence business. It appears that, regardless of the proceedings which are now pending in the law courts, the liqui dators of Overend, Gurney and Co. (Limited) have taken the strung measure of issuing sum monses in respect of the call of 101. against ail those shareholders who have not ye t paid. When it ia stated that the number of individuals thus bronght within the grip of the law is about 2,000, and that the 10/. call represents altogether the good round sum of 1,000,0001. sterling, an idea may be formed of the sensation which such an event must excite. We learn, h owe ver, that on Monday nextthe Shareholders' Defence Association will contest these proceedings through their soli citors, Messrs. Clarke, Son, and Rawlins, of Cole man-street, so far as members of the association are concerned. The directors of the Russian (Vyksounsky) Iron Works Company (Limited) are circulating amongst the shareholders copies of a report of Messrs. Komp,Cannan, Ford, and Co., who were re.tuestecl to investigate the accounts of the company in Russia. This report is generally of a favourable character. An extraordinary general meeting of the share holders of the Mercantile and Exchange Bank (Limited) is called for the 30th inst., at Liverpool, " for the purpose of receiving a statement as to the present position of the bank ; after which sugges tions will be submitted to the consideration of the shareholders in reference to the future interests of the bank." The council of administration of the Ottoman (Smyrna to Aidin) Railway Company have con vened a meeting of the debenture holders f o r Wed nesday next, at the London Tavern. Subjoined is Messrs. Culverwell, Broolrs, and Co.'s report of yesterday's hide sales At the twentieth series of hide males for the year a fair though not active demand was experienced, chiefly for the home trade, exporters operating only to a moderate extent. Past India—Ox and cow : Calcutta were in fair request, chiefly for the home trade, at about late rates, the only ce exption being hides of common quali pon ona llty, u which, be to effect sales, a reduction of id. per lb. had occasiy to submitted to. Bombay, kc., were very dull of sale, and mostly all bought in. The analysis of the sales is 117,508 Calcutta new parcels; 50,975 brought forward from former sales, and 10,800 Bombay, k.c. • ' in all 179,373 hiJes, of which 120,989 were sold. Eas t India—Buffalo : For the portion sold late rates were obtained. Leather: East I hide ndian sold fairly. Australian brought late rates. Salted s : Is Australian were in good request, the greater portion of the quantity offered being sold at fully late rates for light, a nd an advance of Id. to Ad. per lb. upon Ist heavy. Cape brought full prices. Gibraltar all sold. Dry hides : Afri sold well. Bark : Mimosa was only in moderate request at about former prices. The return of the Bank of England for the week ending Wednesday, Oct. 24, compared with that for the previous week, shows the following changes: Circulation issue £30,419,540 Inervase £288,095 Circulation active 23.717, 1 ;60 Decrease 368,875 Public deposits 3,218,291 Deems* 174,6'.11 Other deposits 18,764,056 Decrease 14,467 Government securities in banking department 12,191,426 Decrease 100,000 Other securities in banking 20,553,187 Decrease 691,799 d e partment Coin and bullion in both departments Seven day and other bills 636,264 Increase 4,030 The Rest 3,232,700 Increase 6,199 Notes in reserve Total reserve (notes & coin) in banking department 7,659,693 Increase 612,870 . undern of the Bans accounts is favoule I nearly every head.k' In consequence of ra t the Bank's rate of discount being considerably above that current in the general market its advances on private securities have again la r gely diminished, and thus, notwithstanding some payments out of the government balance, the reserve presents the satisfactory increase of 612,8701. As the amount in the Bank's till has increased thus largely, while its liabilities on deposits, &c., have diminished, it would appear that the directors might fairly bate PROVINCIAL SHARE MARERTII.

REFORM MEETING AT DCRHAM.--On Wednesday evening a crowded ar.d enthusiastic meeting was held in F. the Central-hall, Durham. to inaugurate the formation of a branch of the National Reform Union. Thu inquiry into the corrupt practices that have taken place at the last and former elections for Totnes was resumed yesterday morning before Mr. M. Here, chairman, Mr. C. E. Caleridge, and Mr. F. D.

STATISTICS OF THE UNITED STATES.—The follow ing statistics were prepared in the United States Census Bureau, Department of the Interior, and are taken from a report in reference to the area, population, and density of population of the United States :—The land and water surfaces of the United States are equal to 3,250,000 square miles—land 3,010,370, water about 240,000 square miles. Tho States embrace 1,804,351 square miles of landed surface, and the Territories 1,206,019 miles, as exhibited by the eighth census of 1860 The number of inhabitants in the United States returned in 1860 was 31,443,321—in the states 31,148,046, and 295,275 in the territories—thus showing an average of seventeen inhabitants to each square mile in the states, while in the territories there are four square miles to each inhabitant, and exclusive of the district of Columbia the ter ritorial area would represent five and one-fifth square miles to each inhabitant. In 1860 Massachusetts had 157, Rhode Island 133, New York 82, and Pennsylvania 62 inhabitauta to the 'finale mile, which rate applied to the United States would give 472,000,000 in Massachusetts,loo,ooo,ooo in Rhode Island, 246,000,000 in New York, and 189,000,000 in Pennsylvania. Belgium, England and Wales, and France in 1855 had 397,307, and 176 inhabitants to the square mile respectively. If the United States was as densely popu lated as France our population would number 528 ,000,000, or if populated as densely as England and Wales, 924,000,000 ; and if according to Belgium's density of popu lation (397 to the square mile). the United States would contain 1,195,000,000, wbich is 110,086,000 more than the atire population of the world in lrit4o. 66 67 90 101 9 10 pro 5 5 4 120 125 1 Ira —9 15 71 74 114 US 160 164 62 44 4 6 4 8 4 $ 9 140 160 2 goes BRITISH PO8815510)18 Do.

Such as it is, it was brought with I ceremony 12.000, great from a convent in .Aquileia in 1420, 5,060,100 and is held to be nothing more than a de- „„,dn.n I votional compilation for the use of the nuns. The r o 7 o '; 20 autograph of autographs (priceless as the seamless coat), I VAC 50 could it be recovered, is the letter of our Saviour to Abgar, I ytoeoi 60 Prince of Edema, promising to send a disciple to cure his 26,000 20 leprosy and teach his people the true faith. An Armenian 10.006100 historian of the fourth century, who gives the text o f the , 6 6 0 15, 5 0 d 0 prince's application and the reply, says that Abgar, after , 10:;"0;00 haring been baptised by the Apostle Thaddeus, wrote to 6 00,100 Tiberius to confirm the miraculous life and death of Christ. 60,000 60 St. John of Damascus relates the same incident with modi- 17,156.100 fications. Procopius, in the time of Justinian, mentions 0 . 000 100 this holy letter, then augmented by a postscript promising 11.2°,1 1 1 4 the city of Edesaa that it should never fall into the hands i d . ;;; , too of enemies ; and in 940 A.D. the Roman emperor got pos- 60,0001 session of it ; that is, he procured from Edema a document 40,000, 60 in Greek which was there treaured as the original. He 60,600' 20 had it magnificently framed in gold end jewels, which pro- 00,000 10 10 bably caused. its destruction ; for it disappeared for good 5600::: and all during the revolution of 1185, when the people of 10,400 20 Constantinople rose and plundered the imperial palace. 16,0001 Copies have been preserved ; the oldest extant being one in 21,000 t so the Escurial,made by a monk in 1435 ; end the authenticity 27,210. 1r 50 of the epistle was first questioned by_a celebrated philolo- re„, o , gist of th e 15th century, Laurentins Vella, who went so far g:',7 o as to deny the existence of Abgar. The controversy was sksool 20 learnedly and conscientiously revived by , an ecclesiastical gOO% le historian of repute in the last century. But," remarks 17,061 100 M.
