Witness went up to him and remoestrated with him, requesting him to be quiet. However, instead of that, he became so violent that he was compelled to call amistanos to eject him, and as he was under the influent* a liquor he was given into custody. Defendant (indignantly) — Yes, I was dragged to the station-house like a felon. I'm • respectable man, and not pt up with inch brutality from anyone. Magistrate --But you were drunk, and flourishing your walking-stick about . Defendant—l own I was pointing my stick at the ear. The fact was my daughter was with me,and I was explaining to her about the Jewish maiden which had just been per formed, when some one near me abused me. I turned found to remonstrate with him when last witness came and collared me, and dragged me to the station-house like a thief. I was sober at the time, and very quiet. James Debedale, assistant to the manager, said that the defendant was very drunk and quarrelsome. He flourished his stick about and struck several persons in the pit. He was not dragged to the station-house although he was very violent. The magistrate asked if he had been locked up in the station-house since then' Witness replied in the affirmative. His worship thought that would he sufficient punish ment, therefore he discharged him, with • caution to be sober when he visited a theatre again. The defendant then left the 001111. NATIONAL PROVINCIAL BAR K OP BNGLAND. (THS DA This morning the ordinary meeting of share holders was held at the new premises of the bank in Bishopegate-street ; Mr. JOHN Muller LAURIE in the chair. It appeared from the report that the year's transactions were as follows, via. :-January 1, 1865: Rest or undi vided profits at 31st December, 1864, as exhibited at the ' annual meeting in May, 1865, 1'17,652J. 6s. 2d. ; less bonus declared and paid in cash in 1865 out of this, amounting to 112,2001. ;_ leaving, 2 2 5,452 1 . fie. 2d. Dec. 3 1 : Net profits ti 1865, after making allowance for bad and doubtful debts (which have not exceeded the average of former years), and bonus of 10 per cent. to officers, 2;38,159/. 17s. 10d. ; together, 463,6121. 4s. ; add undivided profits car ried forward from 1864, 20,000/.—total, 483,6121. 4s. Deduct—Dividend on company's stock, paid July, 1865, 43,200/. ; ditto, December, 1865, paid January, 1866, 43,930/. ; bonus of 6 per cent., paid January, 1866, 64,8001. ; undivided profits to next year, 10,0001. ; altoge ther, 161,200/. ; leaving 322,4121. 4s. ; out of there profits the directors proposed to declare, in addition to the fore going dividend and bonus paid to proprietors above stated, a further bonus of 8 per cent., payable in July next, msking a division of profits in 1865 in all 't2 per cent. upon the paid up capital at 31st December, 1865, free of income tax, amounting to 86,400/. ; leaving reserve, 2:36,0121. 4s. Arrangements were entered into with the Bank of Eng land for receiving the composition of 1 per cent. allowed by the Act 7 and 8 Vic., cap. 32, to country hanks relin quishing their right of issue : but subsequently, the Bank of England declined to concede the allowance without the authority of the Lords of the Treasury, unless this estab lishment consented to confine its operations to the country. The Lords of the Treasury, on being appealed to, stated that an the act enabled only, but did not render it im perative on the Bank of England to make these agreements of composition, and the present not being, in their lonlships' opinion, a case in which the Bank of England should be required to do so, they declined to comply with the applization of the National Pro vincial Rink. The dureztors considered that the general equity of their claim ought not to be precluded, and that the justice of their case would yet receive due consideration, but in the meantime the profit of the lapsed issue would be absorbed by the government. At Newcustle-on-Tyne and Gateshead branches of the hank were opened towards the close of the year, and eligible openings in the metropolis in Moryle bone and Islington having presented themselves, branches were established in these localities. The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, said that the bank is now definitely constituted in London, and they bad only to watch and superintend its future growth. The amount of compensation made by the Bank of Eng land to this bank for resigning their right of issuing its own bank notes was not satisfactory, namely 4,100 f. a year. The new building is finished and paid for, and its estimated value was greater than the amount which had been hid out upon it. They avoided entanglement with those companies which unfortunately for themselves had got into difficulties and embarrasments. The bad and doubtful debts were inconsiderable. The country business was good, and deposits had increased. For these results they were much indebted to a staff of able and devoted officials. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HAesoe second the motion which was carried. Lord E. Bruce, M.P., one of the retiring directors, was re-elected unanimously. Mr. Paull, M.P., also a retiring director, was elected unanimously. On the name of Mr. It. B. Wade, also a retiring director, being proposed for re-election, a few of the shareholders held up their hands against the motion, which was, how ever, carried. A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors for their admirable conduct of the bank was carried, for which the chairman returned thanks. A SHAREHoLOER remarked that Mr. Hanson and Sir J. S. Scott were members of the board. He wished to know if these were the game gentlemen who formed part of the direction of the Imperial Mercantile Credit Association, an institution which had of late acquired an unenviable noto riety. The CHAIRMAN said that both the gentlemen named were members of the hoard, and be only knew them as members of the board. What they had to consider chiefly was their conduct as members of the board ; and in that respect he bore his testimony to the valuable services of the gentlemen named. The SHAREHOLDER said that this company bad a high reputation, and he chit not think it was right or proper that the gentlemen named should continue to be members of the board. (Hear, hear.) Another SHAREHOLDER suggested that the two directors alluded to should make their selection between the two companiee. Another SHAREFIALDER maid that the directors of this bank should do all they could to keep up the credit of the institution, because there were many persons who had in vested their all in it on the faith that it was conducted on high and honourable principles. He therefore hoped they would not ally themselves with any other company which they did not think was conducted on similar principles. A vote of thanks was passed on the managers and officers of the bank, for which Mr. Robertson, one of the general inatlagers returned thanks, and in doing so said he did not believe he could lay his hand on a value of 1,0001. in the bank which was not represented by good security. The Protestant Archbishop of Dublin has been spending five days in West Connaught amongst the newly form l eengremtions there, snl mends the result of his ob servations to the Times. His grace specifies the number of Persons present at the late consecration of new churches in Connemara, and at services in which he took part, carefully mentioning the proportion of " converts" from Roman catholicism who took part in the proceedings. Endow ments have alrealy been provided in West Connaught for wren districts, and nine additional ones are to come. The Archbishop praises the church schools in Connemara my highly, though he wishes that in some of them the Scripture teaching was brought into more frequent and &met relation with the church catechism. The allegation that the children are bribed to attend is, he says, unfounded. They only get about a farthing's worth of oatmeal during three months in the year, whendistress amongst the poorest dun of scholars is extreme. There is now, he is glad to add, • total absence of anything like persecution, or indeed of active opposition on the partof the Roman catholic'. Even of those of the latter who are not themselves drawn into the ' movement many look upon it with favour. Of scholars attend trig the schools, very many are children of Roman catholic, Permits who say that they are themselves too old to 'huge their religion, while at the same time they encou rage the attendance of their children, " being well pleased to lee them trained up in a better and purer faith than their OWE.

The chair was taken by Mr. 74 WOOLLATT. St The committee presented the fallowing report : St " The undersigned committee of inquiry have to report es that pursuant to their appointment at the meeting of 81 24 shareholders, held at the London Tavern on the 26 th nit. , they have commenced an investigation of the Affairs and IC, accounts of the company, but regret they are not yet in a - position to report fully to the shareholders. The com mittee have to acknowledge the willingness shown by the directors to place at their disposal all the books and docu ments of the company in England, but from these your !I committee cannot at present form a satisfactory opinion of the value of the company's property in Russia. The committee therefore mugged the propriety of ad journing the meeting to be held to-morrow (Thursday), I . the 10th instant, for three weeks. They are the more li desirous that this course should be pursued, as important legal questions connected with the formation of the com pany, and a ff ecting the status and rights of the whole body of shareholders, have lately arisen, upon which they think it desirable to take the opinion of some leading counsel. The committee also recommend that, pending the issuing of their report, no amalgamation or purchase of any busi ness be made by the company, nor any further step be taken as to the payment of the call. (Signed) HENRY PAWLE, J. R. ROM, J. RUUTU, AUGUSTUS GOLDSMID.— London. May 9, 1866." Mr. IL Pswte, chairman of the oommittee,said they had received great courtesy and assistance from the board. Under the circumstances mentioned in the report, they determined to obtain the legal advice of Mr. Lewis, of the Old Jewry, more particularly with regard to the forma tion of the company. The directors seemed very confident as to the value of the property ; but the committee would be glad to have power to send an agent to Russia to make a survey, and also an accountant to go over the ac counts. lie was happy to be able to add that a call of 21. per share would meet all liabilities, so that there was not much cause for alarm. (Hear, hear.) The director, were anxious that the call should be enforced, but the committee were of opinion that it was not desirable that that should fie done until the position of the share holders as regarded the formation of the company had been clearly ascertained. He concluded by euggestinr an adjournment for three weeks, and moving a resolution authorising the committee to employ a solicitor and ac countant, and to obtain such other assistance as they might require at the expense of the company in inv,sta gating the affairs and accounts of the company, both in this country and in Russia. The CHAIRMAN objected to the postponement of the call, and ridiculed the notion that a gentleman could visit Russia and make a report within three weeks. A Straisseohnsa—Let it be six weeks. (Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN said without funds the board could not undertake to pay the expense of an investigation in Russia, and that one hail already been made, as stated at the last meeting, by the Hon. Captain Hobart, who was well qualified to make such an investigation. It was all very well as a Stock Exchange trick for gentlemen who held five or ten shares to advocate what the committee pro posed, but such a course would not suit persons who held a large number of shares. (Uproar.) Advice, had just been received from Russia which gave a very satisfactory account of the works. Mr. LAWRENCE thought it would be best to employ, for the purpose mentioned in the report of the committee, the solicitor of the company, who would be responsible if he did not do his duty to the shareholders. (Hear, hear.) A SHAREHOLDER asked Mr. Lawrence whether he was not solicitor to the promoter. Mr. LAwstgxer. replied that he was not and never bad been solicitor to the promoter, Mr. Barry, in connexion with that company. (Oh, oh.) He considered the pies. tion put to him very impertinent. The question for the meeting to consider was whether persons who had been dis appointed in their speculations on the Stock Exchange (hisses, and great uproar)—should be allowed to upset a good concern, or whether that concern should go on until it attained a satisfactory position. A SHAREHOLDER strongly protested against the course pursued by the board, and called upon the meeting to sup. port the committee. Captain HOBART—Can the committee alter the law of the land ? (Oh. oh.) It may become necessary for the directors to enforce the law. I hope it will not. A SHAREHOWER—You had better try. Captain Hormar—We will. The CHAIRMAN said the board had no objection to an adjournment, but they would not pay the expense of em ployine another solicitor and engineer. Mr. EVANS (the company's solicitor), in adverting to the question of calls, observed that no shareholder could vote on that question if he had not paid his calls. A SHAREHOLDER observed that if that view were acted upon, the shareholders excluded would perhaps retire to another room and form another body in opposition to the directors. (Cheers.) The Ci 4 ttRYAN said that showed the real position of affairs. Waa it likely that the board would pay a solicitor to fish out a case against themselves? A SHAREHOLDER said counsel might say that those who were in sneer were not shareholders. Captain H, mane remarked that the object of the dis sentients was no doubt to obtain such an opinion. A SHAREHOLDER deprecated the continuance of these disputes, and suggested that the concern should be wound up or held in abeyance till a more favourable period. Captain Holum' saidhe held 1,400 shares, having bought a thousand of them after his recent return from Russia. and as a director he was not at all afraid of a scrutiny of the state of the concern. A SibtegeoLorm said he did not feel quite certain that the directors themselves hail paid their calls. Captain HOBART—Why should they ? (Laughter.) Mr. AUSTIN (a director) said he had paid his calls, and he objected to those who had not done so throwing ex pense on the company in trying to escape their liability. (Hear, hear.) That would be an injustice to himself and others in a similar position. Those who had not paid their calls had better meet in another room. (Hear. hear.) Mr. EVANS (the solicitor) assured the meeting that if he submitted a case to counsel it should be done fairly, adding that he regarded himself as an officer not of the board but of the company. Mr. AUSTIN (director) observed that there was no motion before the meeting, as none could be proposed by a gentle man who had not paid his calls. The SOLICITOR on being appealed to read a clause of the act confirming this statement The CHAIRMAN having refused to put the resolution, it was put by one of its supporters in the body of the meet ing, and a number of hands having been held up in its favour, was declared by the person who put it to have been carried. The CHAIRILIN recommended the dissentients to leave the matter in the hands of the board—advice which they did not seem at all disposed to take. Mr. AUSTIN (director) moved the adjournment of the meeting for three weeks. This was seconded by Mr. Low, who on beine, questioned said he had paid Ins calls, put from the chair, and carried. A subscription of a shilling per share was entered into by the dissentient shareholders to defray the expense of obtaining legal assistance. Mr. Wells, Mr. E. Nicol, Mr. W. F. Foams, Mr. Pettis (painters), Mr. Durham (sculptor), and Mr. G. Street (architect), were on Tuesday evening elected As sociate' of the Royal Academy of Arta.

It consists, with a schedule, of 14 pages. The clauses are 31 in number. They relate to, in addition to what is already known, various regulations as to groups of boroughs, how the votes are to be registered and taken at the first and at the subsequent elections, the pollin7 places, the temporary provisions consequent on the forms tiers of new boroughs, the constituency of the university of London, where the poll may continue for three days, and details as to the boundaries of the new boroughs, &c. The Representation of the People (Scotland) Bill is more than double the size of the English bill, filling as many as 37 pages. The Select Committee on the Kitchen and Re freshment Rooms in the House of Commons, In a report petted this morning, again complain of the deficiency of accommodation, and they recommend that an enlargement of the rooms be executed accenting to a plan prepared by Mr. I E. M. Barry in 1863, at au estimated cost of 4,650/. During the present session, they say, the want of sufficient se .' c(miriodation has been more manifest than in any former year. Tlv.: average number of members dining during I las . t month has been 125 per day; and one even in; before Eater as many as 239 dined in these rooms, while the tables acoommodate only 96 persons. Nearly 100 members have signed a paper in approval of the alteration, and many more have since expressed them selves in its favour. With the report is an account of the proceedings of the committee, as in the case of more im portant investigations. We find the committee at one sitting adopting a requtet to the wine merchants that they supply better brandy and sherries, and complaining that a drunken mail who had come from a wine merchant's to replace , some of the wine had taken away with him a rope and a pulley, "the property of the House." At another sitting a wine bin was the subject of a resolution, and at a third sitting a resolution in favour of a supply of Hungarian wines was adopted and a rebuke agreed to with regard to the dilat niness of the waiters. At one sitting the Serjeant-at-Arms, it was agreed, should be requested " to send a requisition to the Office of Works " for 40 dozen table napkins, 12 dozen glass cloths, and 12 dozen coarse cloths. Of three of the sittings, we are told, with be- I coming reticence, that "the committee deliberated." The wine bill for the session of 1865, amounted, it seems to VS/. ls. 83. A letter from Sebastopol in the Cromtadt Mes seng-r aaya :—" The government has applied • sum of 130,030 roubles (521,000 fr.) to repairing the soldiers' huts on the north side of this place, and to restoring Fort Con stantine to a habitable state, in order to place there a resiment of infantry and two batteries of field artillery." We read in Galigwmi :—" A dispute has for some time existed between the English minister, Admins l Harris, at Berne, and the authorities of that canton. The origin of the difficulty was a coachman attached to the • enalsks.y who had been several times condemned for assault and disorderly conduct. The minister denied the competency of the Swiss tribunals to judge anyone be longing to his establishment, and the question having been brought before the federal council that body informed the minister th it he himself and the persons immediately about him enjoyed the benefit of not being amenable to the tribunals of the country, but that the exemption did not extend to mere menial servants. A second appeal made to the federal council produced a similar reply." The citizens of South Danvers, Connecticut, the birthplace of George Peabody, have prepared to receive him on his arrival in America. A committee of his fellow citizens will meet him in New York. AseeNsto9 DAY. —This being Ascension Day, the boys belonging to the various parochial schools, accom panied by the beadle and other officials, performed the customary ceremony of " beating the bounds " in the me tropolis. The proceedings in some instances excited some curiosity, owing to the peculiar situations of the boundary marks. The honourable societies of the Temple, as usual, observed the occasion by closing their gates against the juvenile invaders. A LoNo PASSAGE. —Yesterday, there arrived in the roads the ship Mary Fly, of Quebec, Captain Fry, from Calcutta, with a cargo of linseed, consigned to Messrs. Brown, Atkinson, and Co. We understand that the Mary Fry left Calcutta so long ago as last autumn. She arrived I in the English Channel either at the latter end of 1865, or the beginning of the present year, and was caught by the gales which prevailed for so many months, principally from the S.W., and which were so severely felt both in the English and Bristol Channels. After being buffeted about for many weeks the Mary Fry reached Briefs:4 in a very shat and disabled state. Having undergone repairs at that licit she started for Hull. We understand that during her stay at Bristol the captain offered to send the cargo of seed per train ; but that the consignees, owing to the terms on which the cargo was sent, were unable to reesive it, except from the ship.—lasted Coentia Herald. 'MO: BEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) ONa o'CLoot. The panic in the Stock Exchange continues, and many securities to-day are absolutely unsaleable. The annotmoement of the outbreak of hostilities abroad is daily looked for, and it is feared that a fresh rise in the Bank rate of discount may be decided upon this afternoon. For the mo ment the dealers are overloaded with stocks and shares, and therefore unwilling to make further purchases. Consols have declined per cent. for the account, but the price for money is unaltered. Many of the chief foreign stocks have fallen per cent. In home railways there is an average fall of to The discount companies' shares have again given way, especially National Discount ; but those of the financial companies are not worse than they were yesterday. There is little business in the discount market to-day, the result of the weekly meeting of the directors of the Bank of England being awaited. The court will not assemble till 2 o'clock, this being Ascension Day. The lowest rate for the best paper in Lombard-street is 8 per cent., which is also the charge for advances in the Stock Exchange. Consols are now quoted 85 to with div. for money, and so to f, ex div., for the account (June 6). _ _ Spanish Passive Bonds and Brazilian scrip have declined per cent., and the Committee's Certificates e. Other foreign stocks are very fiat, and in some cases unsaleable. Some of the present prices are as follows :—Turkiah, 1885, 271 to 281; Greek, 10 to 11 ; Spanish Passive, 211 to 1 ; ditto Certificates, 141 to 15 ; Italian, 1861, 37 to 1 ; Brazilian scrip, 9to 8 dis. ; and Mexican, 151 to United States 5-20 Bonds have experienced a fresh fall of 1 . per cent., viz., to 641 to 651. Erie and Illinois Central Railway shares have also given way, being quoted 451 to 44; and 76 to 1, respectively. The Chariot of Fame has arrived from Melbourne with 34,5001. in gold. International Financial shares are now quoted 21 to 21 dis. ; London Financial, 10 to 9 die. ; General Credit, 21 to 2 dia. ; Imperial Mercantile, 9 to 8 die. ; Credit Funcier and Mobilier, 3 to 21 dia ; Overend, Gurney, and Company, 31 to 31 dis. ; and National Discount, 41 to 1 prem HALF-PAST Two o'CLeee. The directors of the Bank of England have not made any change to-day in the rate of discount. The pervading feeling in commercial and finan cial circles is one of extreme caution, and even distrust. There ought not to be any wantof money, for there is evidence that the amount of money in circulation is as largo as it ever was. What is wanting is credit or confidence, and, failing this, there is a complete reign of terror in the Stock Exchange, where the numerous and persistent spe culators for a fall possess for the time complete command of prices. Few securities suffered more yesterday than bank shares, of which there is a complete rush of specu lative sellers, with the view, apparently, of intimi dating holders, and inducing them to throw their preperty upon the market. The shares of many of the banks of recent creation were quoted at merely nominal prices. Notwithstanding the loan of 10,000,0001., which has just been made by the National Bank of Turin to the government of Italy, advices received yester day state that the exigencies of the Italian treasury are still most severe. t nfortunately, however, want of money seems never to prevent a country from going to war. About 14,0001. in bar gold was bought by the Bank yesterday, while 11,0001. was taken out for export. During the week 54,0001. has been sent in from abroad, and 349,00(V. withdrawn, including 250,000 sovereigns for Scotland. The London and North Western Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 5,3041. over last year ; the Midland an increase of 4,603/. ; the Great Eastern a decrease of 4,140/. ; the Great Northern, an increase of 1,3081. ; and the Great Western, an increase of 2,3471. At the meeting yesterday 44 the shareholders of the London, Bombay, and Mediterranean Bunk (Limited), the report and accounts were adopted, after a long discussion with reference to the present unsatisfactory position of the undertaking, during which an amendment was moved in favour of ap pointing a committee of investigation. It was also suggested by one of the auditors, Mr. Kemp, that the hank should suspend at once and wind up. At a meeting yesterday of shareholders in the Hudson's Bay Company the following resolutions were adopted : 1. That an association be now forned, to be called "The Hudson's Bay Shareholders' Association," havnig for its principal object—to support all necessary and proper measures for carrying out the systematic colonisa tion of the territory. 2. That the following resolutions be proposed for adoption at the next ensuing court of the company :—' That the Hudson's Bay Company having been re-arranged in 1363, with the expressed object of opening to European colonisation a large area of the territory under a liberal and systematic scheme of land settlement, the interests of the company demand the ac complishment of that object without any further delay ; and that the directors be requested to take into their early and serious consideration what is the best mode of effecting the object." 3. That a memorial)* presented as soon as convenient after this meeting to the directors, protesting against the reported proposition to alienate the lands of the corporation to Canada, and urging imme diate steps for the settlement of the territory. A special general meeting of the Great Western Railway Company is called for the 23rd inst., to consider several bills now before parliament. A general meeting of the Bombay Gas Company (Limited) is called for the '2Bth inst. The half yearly interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum is to be payable on the Ist of June. The adjourned general meeting of the Russian Vyksounksy Iron Works Company (Limited) it to be held on Thursday next. The annual meeting of shareholders in the Societ6 Financiers d'Egypte is called for the 23rd of June, at Paris. With reference to the market for American secu rities, Messrs. Satterthwaite and Co. report as follows : The London market for American securities has, dnring the past week, participated in the general depression, and we have to record a serious decline in all descriptions of stocks and bonds currently dealt in ; the fall would pro bably have been considerably greater if w e had not had large purchases for shipment to America to take advantage of the relatively higher quotations in the New York market. United States 5.20 Bonds are last quoted 65} to and Erie shares 46 to 47, both showing a decline of 3 per cent. since our last. Illinois Central shares have been better supported, the closing price, 70 to 77„ being only 1 dol. lower than last week. The Certificates of Debenture of ti.e Atlantic and Great Western Railway close 73 to 75 and the Consolidated Bonds 59 to 61. The indigo sales are going off very badly, owing to the state of the money market. A report of yesterday's sale is subjoined : The sale progressed very unsatisfactorily today The scarcity of orders compelled importers to withdraw very largely, and the quantity sold has been very small. Prices ruled irregularly, Ant were about the same as yesterday. A parcel of Bunlipatam sold at a decline of 4d. to 9d. per lb. 5,104 chests passed today, of which 4, hestssss ch sold.ests were withdrawn, 207 chests bought and 342 c Total quantity passed 6,812 chests, of which 892 have been sold, 5,539 withdrawn, and 381 bought in. EVINI7O. Consols, which closed yesterday at so to 87 for the new account (6th of June), opened this morning at 860_ t o and closed at 86 t to # (or equal to 841 to ; e x div.)

Lawrence and St. Mary lagtlelene, Milk-street. for the use of the inhabitants, was opened this day with sonic cere mony. The nommrial has been erected in the open space on the west side of Guildhall-yard, between the church of St. Lawrene... Old Jewry, and the office of the City law olficer , , n.; I forms quite an ornament and a structure of much interest to that immediate neie,hbourhood. Divine service baying been performed at 12 o'clock in the church, the vicar, accompanied by the clui,chwardens and other parochial officers, proceeded to open the fountain. MISCHIEF IN A CATHEDRAL. -011 Sunday evening some mischievous scamps effected an entrance into Canter bury Cathedral, and lit the large candles on the communion table. The fact was not discovered till nearly 9 p.m, when the attention of one of the vergers was called to the unusual light when of course, he immediately extinguished the candies which had apparently been burning two or three hours.—Kentish Observer. ALLEGED SWINDLING BY A LOCAL PREACHES, AT WEST iIARTLEPW,L.—LIte Wit crUeSllty) night Ser geant Duck, of the Durham County Constabulary, obtained a warrant, issued by Stephen Robinson, Req., one of the resident county justices, for the apprehension of a young man named William Patterson, a commission aml general agent, residing at West Hartlepool, who has heretofore borne a respectable character, on a serious charm of em bezzlement. Accusation is not proof, and it would perhaps be premature to enter upon tliejparticulars of the charge preferred against Patterson. Suffice it to say that, if esta. blushes!, he has been guilty of a systematic course of swinds ling, affected in very small sums, and amounting in the to to not more than some 6W. ; but the character al aggregate ence will be greatly aggravated by the pious pretext lions of the offender, and the semi-charitable nature of the institution against whom the defalcations have been madm Patterson ham been for some time, we understand, a local preacher in connexion with the primitive methodist body at West Hartlepool, and has held, among others, an agency for a provident institution whose head office is in London. The agency was being for some time prosperously and pro fitably conducted, but certain recent drawbacks led to inquiry through the local medical officers, and an examins , tion of the certificates, Icc., the result of which has been the alleged discovery that the signatures have been forged, ' and other deceptive arts adopted to facilitate the appro priation of moneys panning throng the agent's hands.— 1 South Durhasa Mercury.
