Mimic. MR. ALFRED mzuoys PROMENADE CONCERTS. Mr. t 7Mcllon b l ed Operted to this clam of entnr tainweitts a 'bigisr • ione; and a greater importance in an artirtic point of view than they have ever received before ; and it is pleasant to observe that he has done this not only without any secelhos but with much advantage to himself. Promenade concerts are not of long standing. Many people must remember the time when they were originated at Paris by Masud and Valentino. In those days they were an agreeable and popular lounge, but they were of the slightest kind, consisting only of dance music—chiefly valtsen and quadrilles—written, however, with ability, and played as this sort of music had never been played before. Bat while they have remained stationary in Paris, they have, in London, assumed a diffpreat aspect. The late Jullien endeavoured not only to raise their character, but to educate the popu lar nix tato an appreciation of a higher order of music. His labours ware out short by his untimely death, but they have been continued by Mr. Mellon, to such good purpose that one of his 401110111111 is now as re prior to Jullien's as Jullien's were above the old embryo performances of the Rue Vivienne. Mr. Melion's exertions, too, continue to be pro- Inwesi* and his present concerts are much in advance, both in Teepee, 116 quality and success, of those of any previous maim The engagement of Mdllo. Oarlotta Patti, which began on Monday last and will continue, we believe, till the end of the memo, promisee to be highly attractive. CONCSIT Room.—Two new " enter tainers" bays resolved to appeal to the publio at thaw rooms under the names of Bexley Heath and Bucbet Cham pion with an entertainment that may be described as a vary rough copy of Mr. German Reed's. Mr. Champion has distinguished himself at various concerts as a singer of tenor ballads, and Mr. Heath is a vocalist of no mean ability. The groundwork of the entertainment is rather dismal, and the delivery of the two performers wants dash and " go." Mr. Champion's ballad singing is one of the most eatisfastory features of the performance, and his songs belong to a class which is much beloved by music sellers. Mr. James Bruton has furnished the libretto. THE CHOLERA. On Thursday there were 29 registered deaths from cholera, being the same number as the day before. There were 16 deaths from diarrhoea against 22 on Wed nesday. We append the elasellication : Cholera. Diarrhoea West districts Werth districts 1 Central districts East distriele 2O South districts 4 Total in London . 2s Only one death occurred in the London Hospital during the 24 hours ending yesterday forenoon from choleraic diarrhina. None re sul ted from cholera. Ten fresh cues were admitted, five suffering from cholera, and five from choleraic diarr hoea. On the previous day three patients died from cholera ; the admissions were five. The reco eerie* on the 39th were six ; yesterday they were four. The total remaining in the hospital are 97. The out-patients were yesterday 86 ;on Thursday they numbered 54. The increase in the out-door cases, so noticeable in the begin 'rung of the week, bee nut been maintained. Row. Daatmarfo Cougog.—On Thursday after noon • meeting of the governors and subscribers of this institution took place at the New Theatre Royal Adelphi, Mr. Webster, the president of the college, in the chair. The meeting was held on the stage, and its purpose was to elect two male and two female pensioners to supply vacancies at the college. Amongst the gentlemen present were Mr. J. W. Anson, secretary to the institution, Capt. Dampier, Mr. Filer, Mr. R. Phillips, Mr. Cummingford, Mr. Forster, Mr. Sams, Mr. Smith, Mr. Moceig, Mr. Loader, Mr. Churchill, and Messrs. Billing and Killington, who undertook the arduous duty of *mutineers. The secretar y read the notice calling the meeting, and the chairman briefly stated its objeot. The scrutiny of voting papers was then proceeded with, and occupied till four o'clock. The result was formally announced at the close by the chairman as follows:—Mrs. Strickland, 440 ; Mrs. Norman, 238 ; Mr. Reynolds, 239 ; Mr. Thornhill, 377. The chair man closed theprornedhiP with • few •Plw•PFiate remarks. He said that he fully appreciated the friendly feeling and kindness with which the governors and subscribers sup ported him on those interesting occasions, and it must be as satisfactory a reflection to them as it was to him that this institution continued to prosper, and to do so much good amongst decayed members of the profession. He was delighted at the result of the poll that day, for more worthy objects of the charity could not have been selected. The chairman then shook hands with the two old ladies who had been elected, and congratulated them warmly on their good fortune, assuring them they would find the college a charming residence. Votes of thanks to the scrutineers and the chairman terminated the proceedings. TUB CATTLE PL./AlM—The weekly return of the reported cases of settle plague in Great Britain for the week ending Saturday, the 25th August, states :—An inereme in the number of cattle plague attacks presents itself in this return. During the week ended 25th August the number officially reported was 148, the whole of which occurred in England. This shows an increase of 21 on the previous return. The number of " back cases" of attacke, now returned being inconsiderable, no estimate in antici pation of such cases is made in the present return. Fresh outbreaks took place in 17 farms, or places where cattle are kept, the number of such outbreaks in the previous week being 20. The number of healthy cattle slaughtered to prevent the disease extending to them was 78 during the week. No attacks have been reported from Scotland during the week, and for the first time since the outbreak no cases are reported from Wales, where 8,388 cattle in the aggregate have been attacked by . the disease. The disease is reported to have prevailed during the week in the fol lowing 29 petty sessional divisions of England, viz. : Bucks : Ashendon, 1 attack; Aylesbury, 2 ; Cottesloe, 2. Oxford : Wootton South, 1 ; Ploughley, 3. Cambridge : Ely and South Witchford, 1. Essex : Chelmsford, 2 ; Brentwo od, 30. Salop: Drayton.l ; Whitchurch,2s, Stafford: Cheadle, 5.

East Riding : Middle Holdernees, 2 ; South Holdernesa 25 ; South Minsky Beacon 1. 102 sheep are reported during the week to have been attacked, making the total to the date of this return 6,625. The mean temperature of the week at the Royal Observatory was 61.2, or 0.5 above the average of the male period during 50 years. Rain fell to the amount of 0.32 inch, and the blue mist, remarked by Mr. Glaisher as first discernible on 30th July, was observed on every day excepting Thursday. but it varied in density. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 86, complete saturation being represeuted by 100. FLOODS. —The continuous rains of Wednesday for the second time this summer mimed great districts of the North Riding valleys to be inundated, causing a de struction of farm property from which the country has not suffered since 1857, when • similar flood occurred. The late rainy season had so saturated the land that the whole of the extraordinary rainfall of the last 48 boars ran rapidly off into the streams, anal in that short period the North Riding rivers rose from summer level to a state of flood. So heavy had the rains of Wednesday been that the return railway journey from the Whitby agricultural show to Mahon was made through an infinite array of cascades, every glen of the romantic Newton Dale being overcharged with water from countless contributory streamlets. On the eastern side of the moors the waters drain to the sea by the Yorkshire Esk—a meandering stream which the Melton and Whitby Railway crosses sonic dozen times in half a dozen miles. This stream receives the drainage of the Hllerbeek and the Gothland valleys, and rose to a state of food in • few hours. The wooden bridge No. 9 from Whitbv, being old, was about to be restored or replaced, and the railway company had commenced operations for a per manent structure. This bridge was watched with some anxiety all Thursday night, the traffic of Wednesday (much of it excursion traffic) having all paseetithe bridge in safety. Yesterday, however, the flood was found to have literally Boated the bridge and drawn the piles, therefore trainscould no longer pass. The craft, is being worked from Melton to the bridge, when passengers can walk over. Trains are consequently late, and are likely to remain so until a new bridge can be bunt. In Ryedale the rivers have risen rapidly, and above Newsome-bridge have either burst or overflowed the banks. Here large tracts of country under crop were flooded, and in some places so deeply that the heads of the growing crops were only just above water. Of course all pastures are again spoiled for • time by the mud left by the flood water. The old Derwent, with the rapid flow of the moor streams, has again overflowed, and a railway journey to Pickering showed the extensive grazing lauds one sheet of water for miles. At noon the waters were still rising, and it was feared the country of the Derwent proper from Melton downward', would also become extenavet d oodad. Au ATILILIAN velem es. —Australian sovereigns are now received here in considerable quantities, sad are likely to continue to arrive. They are • legal tender in this country precisely the same as those of the London Mint, and no one can properly refuse to accept them in payment for goods or in discharge of any debt.

LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY. ♦fter our report left yesterday, Lord HARRIS said that since the culmination of the dif ficulties of this company, the directors had been in a state of protracted agony. Their first desire had been to get the interest upon the debentures paid and up to the 30th June they hoped that they ebould have succeeded in their endeavours. Unfortunately they found that the terms upon which alone they could ob tain the necessary funds would have been perfectly ruinous to the company, and they were therefore com pelled to postpone the payment of that interest. They did not refuse to risk their private fortunes, as far as their small means would go, but they found that that made no difference, sad that they could not raise the sums which were required without placing the concern in such a posi tion as must lead to a thorough collapse. They therefore thought it better to trust to the forbearance of the deben ture holders, and to the adoption of means by which they hoped that eventually the interest might be paid. He believed that if par ent had given them the powers which they sought they might not only have paid that interest, but might have avoided much of the expense and trouble which was still before them. The director' were most anxious for the appointment of an entirely indepen dent committee, who should thoroughly examine the state of affairs and make • complete report to the proprietary. Mr. Bergey had proposed a committee which he believed would do all that was required, and the only fault which he had to find with that gentle man's remarks referred to what he had said about contractors' lines. He doubted very much whether this line, from which benefit had accrued to the public and would he trusted ultimately accrue to the shareholders would have been constructed, if it had not been for the contractors. (Hear, hear.) He believed that these metropolitan extensions ware justified in policy and would ultimately prove highly remunerative, and upon this point be was able to give an independent opinion because they were all projected before he joined the board. There was one humiliaticn which until within the last four or five days he hoped that they had escaped, but quite recently the directors had discovered that there had been an over-issue of debentures upon the City line to the extent of 128,000/.—(cries of "Shame") —owing to the failure of the contractors, Messrs. Pete, Bette, and Crampton, to redeem, as they had undertaken to do, old debentures to that amount. This was a most painful announcement for him to make, both as regarded the board itself and the contractors • but he felt it due to the latter to state that they had ex erted themselves most earnestly to complete the works and promote the interests of the company. A SHAREHOLDER asked what TM the name of the officer with whose knowledge the extra debentures were issued A Voice—Who committed the forgery? Mr. BAITER, parliamentary agent, the legal adviser of the company, said that he had examined the detail of this matter, and at the request of Lord Harris he would state exactly what were the facts. The company had issued about 1,300,0001. of debentures. These were originally pledged as securities for loans, and were then redeemed as the money of the public came in and new debentures were issued to those who subscribe d for them. The amount of debentures issued upon the City line was 330,0001., and although the money bad been paid to them for that purpose the contractors had failed to re deem 128,0001. of these when the new debentures were issued. (" Shame, shame.") Mr. VALENTINE KNIGHT recommended forbearance on the part of all the creditors of the company, and suggested that the debenture holders should consent to capitalise their interest for one year, and should take bonds at 5 per oent. for ten years upon condition that after the first year the interest should be regularly paid. (Loud cries of "No no," from the galleries.) Mr. Scorn supported the appointment of the committee. A Deeeteruag Houma was not satisfied with the pre sence upon the committee of one or two holders of deben tures. He desired the appointment of a separate com mittee of debenture holder., to act separately from, although in co-operation with, the committee of share holders. Lord HARRIR said that the debenture holders could not loyally make any alteration in the amendment, but they might, at a meeting of their own. appoint a committee, which might be placed in communication with that now to be elected. Mr. Sundry said that the shareholders' committee would be only too anxious to give to a committee of deben ture holders so appointed any information in their power. A DIBENTVEZ Hownit asked whether the directors could say positively that there had been no over-issue of debentures beyond the 128,0001. ; and whether, until those debentures were redeemed, the City line was not in the hands of Sir S. M. Peto and Co. as first mortgagees, who could sell the land and rolling stock, and leave to the other debenture-holders only the undertaking from which to pay themselves if they could. The Citeinicxx said that the directors were satisfied that upon the whole undertaking there had been no over issue of debentures beyond the 128,0001. Mr. BAXTER said there was no mortgage upon the line. The fact was that the 128,0001. of debentures which were pledged were the legal debentures. (Several Voices : Then we have the illegal ones?") The first issue was the legal debentures, and the 128,0001 . last issued were the over issue or illegal ones. The company would be bound to pay back that 128,000/. with lawful interest, but the parties who held the last issued debentures did not the rights of debenture holders. (Cries of " Scan= Scandalous.") . . . A DEBINTUBI Houma asked whether the directors were not personally liable, and suggested that perhaps Sir Morton Pete could throw acme light upon the matter. (Cries for Sir S. M. Peto, who occupied a seat upon the platform.) Mr. BAXTER said that the parties who were liable for the 128,00 W. over issue were the company who received the money, and were bound to pay it back. Mr. Pains called attention to the circumstance that before the committee of the House of Lords upon Railway Companies' Borrowing Powers, Mr. Horace Lloyd stated, in reply to questions from Lord Oversteps, that it was doubtful whether over-issued debentures would not be legally available, because it was difficult to ear-mark them which were in exams • and even if the issue weelheld to be nitre Dire., the direc tors would be personally liable. (Loud cheers.) In accordance with renewed demands, Sir S. M. Puri) rose to address the meeting. He said that the facts of the case, as regarded the over issue of debentures, were these : In she first instance, • loan was obtained at the request of the directors upon the :=3,000/. debentures for the purposes of the company, and for this loan his firm made them selves liable by giving as securities their promissory notes in addition to the debentures. When it ppppesaa desira ble to the board the debentures were placed with the public to the whole amount, and upwards of 200,0001. was received by his firm from the company, and a . to the redemption of debentures. When the 1230 ~ which had been mentioned by the noble vice-chairman, was re ceived there were outstanding other engagements of the company for which his firm was liable in the same way that they were for the loan upon the debentures. The company was unable to meet those liabilities. and his firm were compelled to take the 128,0001. referred to to discharge them. Some time had to elapse before the loan upon the original debentures matured, and they were perfectly justified in believing that they should be able out of the large sums which were owing to them by the company to provide for the redemption of these obligations. As far as the company was concerned not a single shilling of additional indebtedness had been contracted. The trans action was no doubt irregular, but had it not been for • contingency which had since occurred, no inconvenience would have resulted from it. As far as the company . was concerned no damage had resulted, because every angle penny of the money that should have goue to the re demption of these debentures had been expended in pity ing other debts which did not arise in connexion with the works of the contractors. He exceedingly regretted the irregularity of the transaction—(" oh, oh," and laughter) —but they must be aware that the enormous liabilities which his firm undertook with regard to the obligations of the company from time to time placed them in .posi thaw. of peculiar di ffi culty ; and at this particular juno tore they had no alternative but either to collapsethem selves, the company collapsing with them, or to take the course that they did. He could show that no damage had re sulted to the company. No director or officer of the ann. pony was cognisant of what was done, and if blame at tached to any one that blame he was prepared to bear. A SILkitEHOLDER naked whether there were any Lloyd's bonds in existence? Mr. JOHNSON, the secretary, said that a balance of 3,6001. in respect of steamboats was still outstanding. The di rectors had given to their engineers sealed acknowledg ments of indebtedness which, though not in form Lloyd's bonds, were very similar in character, to the amount of 24,0001. They were under obligation to Mr. Churchward, in connexion with the taking over of the steamboat service at Paver, for 7,000/. a year up to 1870, and in respect of that liability Mr. Churchward held sealed acknowledg ments of the company. Upon the Victoria improvements certain works had bean constructed which were not con templated in the contract, or when the power to raise capital was applied for, such as the rooting over the rails between Victoria station and the bridge, the carriage .1866, sheds, k.c., and for these Works acknowledgments had been Issued to the extent of something like 20,0001. A DEBENTURE HOLDER wished to know who had charge of the seal of the company when the over issued debentures were sealed? Mr. Moreau's, a debenture holder, while su= the appointment of the committee, as proposed, he could not understand Sir S. M. Peto's explanation, and thought that some one in the company unit have known what had been done. _ . - . . - Another Deorsrunz HOLD= complained that as late as the 25th or 28th July, or some day between those dates, Mr. Baxter informed him that there bad been no over issue of debentures. Mr. BAIT= said he bad only stated what he was told by Mr. Forbes was the case. la reply to the question as to how the seal of the eon posy came to be affixed to the debentures issued in excess of the amount authorised by parliament, be stated that when the debentures were issued they were issued en maser, and a loan was raised upon them. When money came in from the public, just as when debentures were re newed, fresh debentures were issued to the rubseribers. and the money was handed over to the contractors to re deem the old instruments. This was the ordinary practice of railway companies. In answer to loud Wks of " Forbes, Forbes," Mr. FOllllB said that Mr. Baxter had correctly repre sented the circumstances attending this over-issue of de- bentures. When he informed Mr. Baxter that there had been no issue in excess of the parliamentary powers, he stated what he believed to be the case, and no ens wee more astounded than he was when this disoovery was made. (A laugh.) His business was to administer the traf c. of the company, and be bad nothing to do with the isms or redemption of debentures. Mr. JORNBON (who was also loudly called for before he rose) said that gentlemen present appeared to be unaware that Messrs. Peto, Bette, and Crampton had acted for the company in the double capacity of contractors and finan ciers. (Loud cries of " Oh, oh," especially from the galle ries.) All the monetary concerns of the company had been managed by them. All the money which was required to take up the debentures, originally trued en maw, peered through their hands, and out of 1,360,0001. they had failed to redeem only 128,0001. In order to obtain money to re deem the original debentures it was neaessry to issue new ones to the publics. The money so obtained was handed to the contractors. They redeemed 1,200,0001. ; but at a very critical time they diverted to the general purposes of the temp i :7 14 128,0001., which ought to have been applied to the s moos of redeeming debentures. (Several voioes, 'lt is disbonsst. It is a fraud.") No one con nected with the company knew anything of that appro priation of this money, nor were any of the directors aware of the failure to redeem the debentures until within the last two or three days : (Cries of " Then they ought.") The CHAIRMAN having put the question, the amendment proposed by Mr. Burry, for the appointment of a *mi nutiae of investigation, was unanimously agreed to. The proceedings tennimuted with a vote of thanks to Lord Sondes for his eandast as chairman of the meeting. HOP AND MALT EXCHANGE AND WAREHOUSE COMPANY. The ceremony of laying the foundation stone of a new building belonging to the above company was per formed yesterday, in Southwark-street, Borough, by Sr Brook W. Bridges, Bart., M.P., in presence of a concourse of people, including Mr. Ogilvy, Mr. Dyer, Mr. Conybeare, Mr. Addis, Mr. Lucas and Mr. Humphreys (directors), Mr. Slater (the manager), Mr. H. Duke (secretary), Mr. Moore (the architect) ; and many other gentlemen inte reeled in the hop and malt trade. The preparations for fixing the stone having been made, Sir Brook Bridges addressed a few observations to the company, saying that he had been introduced to this association by Hr. Ogilvy, who was one of the directors of the Great Western Railway ; and he had been requested to perform this important work in consequence of his connexion with one of the districts it was the object of the company to serve. Before accepting this responsible duty he had given the matter the fullest consideration ; and he had every reason to believe that the result would be benefice' to the public at large, as well as to that por tion of the community who were interested in the growth and consumption of hope. Amongst the articles deposited, as usual, within the foundation stone, was a bottle con taining the prospectus of the company which had been previously read aloud by the secretary. It stated that the capital of the company amounted to 120,0001. in 12,000 shares of 101. each, bearing interest at six per cent. during the period of construction. The site of the building was at the corner of High-street, Borough, with a frontage of 320 feet in New Southwark•street, and an area of 26,000 square feet, with • separate entrance in Pariectraet, in the rear of the Borough Market. The Ex change would be opposite the new buildings of the Hop Planters' Association, and in the immediate vicinity of • large number of offices whose owners are interested in the trades intended to be advanced. It was expected that, when the building was completed, the return would not be less than 20 per cent. on the outlay ; and as an instance of the IRMO= of similar institutions it might be stated that the original dames of the Corn Exchange of 1001. each are now worth 1,3501., and it was difficult to obtain them at that value. The ceremony of laying the stone being brought to a close, the party eat down to a dejeuner prepared en a tent on the waste ground by Mears. Bertram and Roberts, of the Crystal Palace, Sr Brook Bridges, Bart, M.P., occupying the chair. In proposing Success to the Hop and Malt Exchange, the hon. baronet said that the promoters of this undertaking had not considered their own benefit alone, nor the desired return for the sum of money they had invested, but they had considered whether the project was likely to be of service to the public, and more especially to thatportion of the public whose immediate interests had been consulted. Up to this time they had been without any special place where hop-growers and consumers could meet for the par wee of conducting their business operations, and much difficulty and misrepresentation often arms regard to the quality of the hops which came into the market. The hops had been scattered in different buildings, and it would at once be seen that much advantage must neces sarily arise from • system which secured a concentration and unity of interests. Mr. Ogilvy returned thanks on behalf of the company, and the health of the chairman having been proposed and enthusiastically responded to, the entertainment was brought to a close. caroms: ELITE!"

THE SHROPSHIRE POISONING CASE.—On Wed nesday night the inquiry into the death of Harriet Tim brell was resumed before the coroner at Oakengates. The deceased was housekeeper at the Hand and Hammer Inn, Oakengates, the only other inmates of the house being a young man, named Sampson Pitchford, brother-in-law to the proprietor who lives in Wellington, and a servant girl. On Sunday night, the 12th inst., the deceased went to bed apparently in good health, requesting to be called early in the morning, as she had arranged to go to Tewkesbury on a visit to her friends. At 6 o'clock on the Monday morning Mr. Pitchford called her, and she was then so ill that • doctor was sent for. She lingered throughout the morning, racked by intense thirst and a succession of twitches that violently shook her body, and at half-pest 3 bathe afternoon she died. A port-mortem examination revealed the fact that she had been pregnant for two months, and the surgeon in his cross - examination stated that the appearance of the body was only consistent with death by strychnine. Immediately after death the body became so rigid that it could held by the head and the heels without bending in the slightest degree. In the course of the inquiry it transpired that on the Saturday preceding the death of Miss Thubrell the servant girl had seen in her bed-room a jar containing • little jam, which appeared to have been " mixed up with something on one side of the jar," and on tasting It the girl experienced a bitter sensation in her mouth, which she could not get rid of for some time. This jar was found washed and put away on a shelf when looked for on the Monday morning, and none of the witnesses could say who had done it. It was further shown that the young man Pitchford had served an apprenticeship of four years to a druggist, and was well acquainted with the use and qualities of drugs ; that he slept in a bed-room adjoining that of the deceased ; that she bad no other acquaintance in the neighbourhood but himself ; and that a letter had been received from the sister of the deceased in which the writer stated that she bad been told by the deceased that Sampson Pitchford was engaged to be married to her. The proceedings, which excited great interest in the locality, were continued to a late hour, when the inquest was further adjourned for three weeks, to permit of the analysis of the contents of the stomach by Dr. Taylor. OUTRAGE AT SHETFIELD.—A shoemaker at Shef field, names James Green, is in custody, charged with attempting to murder • woman with whom he some time since cohabited. Three months since the woman was sent to Wakefield Gaol for some offence, and after she took up with • young man named Alfred Jones, who promised to marry her, and with whom she has lately been living. Green seems to have been very much annoyed at this de sertion. The other night he went to a model lodging-house, where the pair were staying, and secreted himself on the landing, and as they were going upstairs to bed he attacked them with a hammer. He first struck Jones • blow on the head, which rendered him insensible, and then attacked the woman BinneL He knocked her down, knelt upon her, and in fl icted eight wounds upon her head with the hammer. Leaving her bleeding upon the floor, he turned upon Jones, who had recovered his senses, and pursued him into the street, exclaiming, " I have killed her, and I will kill you." But for another lodger ooming up at the time, he would most likely have carried out his threat, as he is • moth stronger man than Jones. The woman is in • very dangerous state, and her deposition has been taken by • magistrate. DISPUTE IN THE NORTH OF ENGLAND IRON TRADE.

BRECON AND LLANDOVIRY RATLWAY.—The half yearly general meeting of this oolnpany was held pro forma yesterday and adjourned to a future date. Tax CONTRACT CORPORATION.—Yesterday this case, under the winding-up order, which was on Tuesday last before Mr. Peake, the chief clerk in Chancery was resumed at Vice.Chaucellor Stuart's chambers. The liabi lities exceeded 1,000,0001. Numerous parties attended yesterday, and objected to a call of 30f. being made until there had been a full investigation and the books opened for inspection. The National Discount, and others, for whom Mesas. Thomas and Holland appeared, were cre ditors to 260,000/. ; Overend and Gurney were put down for 81,0001. Mr. Layton, for four shareholders, contended that under the 01st section of the Companies Act of 1862 the contributories were entitled to full information before the calls were made. Mr. Linklater's clerk, for the official liquidator, said that an inspection would be allowed. Mr. Layton said the poor shareholders were not to have a , pietol, in the shape of • call, presented to their heads in the dark, and sold up if they did not pay. Mr. Clarence Harcourt asked for full information, as did others who appeared in the case. The chief clerk (Mr. Peake) said he would allow a call of 30/., but stay the Vice - Chance llor • until next week, and the Vioe-Chanor would bear the appeal on Friday next. He had simply acted for the chief clerk of the Master of the Rolls, who had been engaged in the affair.

The cotton market is watched with great interest both by makers and buyers of pods, the following remarks from the monthly tirade se Mesas. Ellison sad Haywood will be read with Week The future course of the market will, for some months ts Gem, be ruled entirely by the character of the smuts le *sired, from time to time, respecting the yield el the Ameriean crop. Aside from this, all other formai:a pest{ to a healthy trade ; but until something definite he he,, as to the probable out-turn of the Southern crop, the gm. tom market will remain in a sensitive and uneasy cendities. Business will be circumscribed, sad enterprise docket Neither manufacturers nor merchants, if they are wise, will enter into Imp transactions running far Late fie future, until they shall be able to form a more awed. mate idea of the risks they undertake than they sin et present. The advice, received from the South duke tie present month have been exceedingly favoterableead mostly indicate a crop of from 2,0130,000 to 3,oooAobeim True, there have been one or two exceptions, the nest notable being the report of Dr. Forbes, of which nee directly ; but they have not had the slighted infoeme upon the market. The fact that prices are to-day lower *ea they were when money was at 10 per cent., sad the quantity of cotton here and afloat mach larger this it now, proves, beyond all doubt, that operate.; he thef , importers, speculators, or consumers, have no faith wlab ever in the smaller estimates. As to Dr. many reasons why it should not b e es Fo ac rbieret, there are final solution of the question. The doctor was m e five or six weeks in the cotton states, and we hold It yet utterly impomible for any one person, in so sled a time, to arrive at • reliable estimate of the probable crop spread, as cotton is, over so vast a territory es Set coin used within the Southern States. Furthermore, Forbes' information was necessarily and avow* gleaned from planters and others interested in kelp**, prices of cotton as high as possible, and we know tides action planters are as great croakers as our own hese; and everything they say should be taken " with e main of salt." Something should be allowed for the fact art De. Forbes' route's, through the districts chieflyaffestei es late war, and not at all through the.. portime S ea States never visited by the military, and in whisk iht agricultural industry has not been seriously *Wend with. Finally, it should not be forgotten that the we, accounts have materially improved since Dr. Forbes clef the States. On the whole, therefore, we are dispad te think that the ultimate yield of the crop will be wow 24 millions than 1 f million bales. Under present shrew stances any estimate mast of necessity be mere rose week, but so far as importers are concerned it is hitter that tisk operations should be based upon • large than a small re mate, at the commencement of the seam We can b y pay too little for our cotton, we may pay tee much, and in the latter cam we know who will Where everything is so uncertain, the trade mane is better than act with the utmost caution in all their spas ' lions. The balance of probabilities is decidedly in fear of • crop of double the amount of that leited for by Dr. Forbes ; but the accounts are ss conflicting that it is impossible to do say** more than conjecture as to the final result. A ray short time, however, will "office to solve the mystify; red meanwhile, speculation of any kind, either hers se la Manchester, will be • business more risky than priest For some months to come, at all events, we shall hew plenty of cotton to meet all our requirements; aid on own impression *that we shall be just u wall off throe* out the whole of next year. We shall most ge kw from India in 1867 than in 1866 ; but the dollen' rdt be more than counterbalanced by emmsupplies from Vet America will, we expect, mind quite as much as, if net me than, during the present year ; while the Brasile, Twig, and the West !aim will all send us a fair Maar Nis this year's imports.
