LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 16. -- s SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. . , A SPECIAL EDITION of the " EXPRESS," , containing the results of the day's Races, is pub- , lisped lished every evening during the Sporting Season, at six o' clock. "STRIKE; bat hear therm" France and Eng- land cannot allow the assassination of a Consul of l i each nation, in the same n i g ht, i n th e mine town, by a lawless mob, to pass mini:pared into and un- punished. France and England cannot allow the ' 1 measure of a number of (apparently) unoffending Christians by a Mahometan mob to pain without exacting redress for the sufferers. The growing I spirit of hostility among Mussulmans towards , Christians throug hout Islam must be checked ; an d 1 1 to this end it is necessary that the Mahometan population in the vicinity of the scene of the late outrage should be practically convinced that the two Christian nations which have been injured and insulted in the persons of their Consuls, have ample power to avenge the murdered upon their assassins. / 1 1 Bat in order that France, England, and the whole of Christendom may obtain the full advantage to be derived from this act of retribution, it must be performed with judicial dignity and decorum. There ought, it is true, to be no undue delays, no hesita- ! ton ; but there ought to be deliberate previous in• quiry with • view to ascertain who are the real offenders, and what have been their objects and in- ducements. The Inhabitants of Jeddah, and the whole !titueulnum world, Mat be taught to feel that France and England, as representatives of Christendom, do not act under the impulse of blind and blood-thirsty passion ; they must be taught to feel that these mighty nations really act in the spirit of the religion that they profess ; that their object is to obtain, u far as possible, redress for the survivors and for the friends of the murdered, to deter all evil-doers from perpetrating similar outrages in future, and by thus contributing to the establishment of law and order, to besefit Jeddah and Arabia in general, quite as much as Christians. If properly turned to account the massacre of Jeddah affords a glorious opportunity to commence the great work of placing the relations of Christen- dom and !slim upon a more satisfectory footing. Deep will be the responsibility of the two Govern- ments upon whom the oondoct of the delicate and difficult negotiation devolves if they do not act in • spirit commensurate with the greatness of the oces- 1 lion ; and deep will be the guilt incurred by those i who through the press or the tribune seek merely to $ . instigate the French and English people to seek • dire and unrellecting revenge. I There is still mach that is obscure in this appalling story. It would weer that the Governor of the ro p •inos was absent at Meese et bi time of the mas- sacre ; that the greater part of hie troops were with him ; and that only a few Turkish soldiers were left with the Tice-Governor. The murderers were apparently • numerous body. They seem, from the report of the Greek, who first swam I . off to the Cyclops, to have eat to work systematically and coolly, and to have gem on to perpetrate greater atrocities as their bloods got heated. The first object of attack appears to have been the English Consulate ; that upon the French Consulate was made subsequently, after they had been fleshed in cruelty. Conjaadre attributes the Instigation to the outrage, alternatively to the Hadra- , maut merchants, and to some unnamed Sheikh who is said to ham witnessed the ma seers at Delhi. The Vice-Governor and his soldiers, so far as yet appears, played, in regard to the Christians, a discreet and friendly part. The daughter of the French Consul i and other Christians are said to ham been reamed t . by the Tiee-Governor and sheltered in his h ouse . Turkish soldiers met the bold of the Cyclops at the landing, and gave information ea to how ' I matters stood. The representations of the Vim-Governor prevailed upon the Captain of the Cyclops not to open fire upon the town at once—a proceeding which, considering the weakness of the Turkish soldiery and the number i ii ; of the insurgent., would probably hav e led to a 1 several massacre of Turks and Christians. On the snivel oldie Governor, with 800 Turkish troops, order was so far metered, that a force from the Cyclops wettable to lead ; to have the funeral service mad over the grave of the murdered ; and to display 1. 1 WO lamb the Consular flap of France and England. Moth will require to bo added to these details to make the melancholy story complete ; some of them will probably be contradicted or placed in a dif- ferent point of view. At present we can only reason hypothetically and ad interim upon what has already transpired. Regarding the real Nat ure an d o bj ect of the move- runt we are still left almost entirely in the dark. \ . 4 .. them dif. whisk bar. . On troops, . the service THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 16, UK We do not know whether the mamas has been the work of the inhabitants of Jeddah or of a crowd col lected from other parts. We do not know whether it has been the result of some local quarrel or Wens dentanding, or provoked by /mimetic!' from various more remote enemies. The stories about the Hadra aunt) merchants, and the Sheikh who had wit nessed the massacre at Delhi, are not to be received as exact and literal truths ; but it is possible that they may indicate the real source of the outrage. It is stated that the English Consulate was first at tacked ; this seems to imply that the English were the more immediate objects of hostility. Jeddah — is the port of Mecca, and u such likely to be thronged by pilgrims from various parts; it is therefore pos sible that the massacre may have been mainly the work of non-residents. The inhabitants of Hadrantaut, from their proximity to Aden, are very likely to be animated by the jea lousy and animosity which the occupation of that Peninsula by the English has inspired, and which the more recent occupation of Perim can scarcely have allayed. And though the Sheikh who witnessed the massacre of Delhi may possibly prove a myth, it is well known that the chief priest of the Moplabs—the fanatical Mahometans who have given us so much trouble on the Malabar coast—has been many years resident at Mecca, and has been incessantly intriguing against us. There are, therefore, good grounds for surmising that the Jeddah massacre has been a blow more especially struck at England, and in that case our whole posi tion as rulers in Hindostan, and our whole foreign relations as regards Mahometan States, may take a colouring from it. The affair is one which, on the part of England, calla for action at onos prompt sad wary. There remains to be considered the conduct of the Turkish authorities in the Hedjas. As far as has yet transpired there appears to be little reason to complain of them. There has been, it may be, hesi tation, irresolution, wavering on the part of the Governor ; but when the conduct of our Vtallos Slants at home, and of some high in office at Cal cutta, is recalled to mind, it will be obvious that Englishmen have little right to throw the first stone on that score. Of complicity with the rioters on the part of the Turkish authorities there is no trace ; and there is no reason to expect any. The Turks are in that region a email mino rity ; they are an alien and dominant race, and as such scarcely less hated than the Christians. Mecca, Jeddah, and the surrounding country are the region which has been most scrupulously preserved from European contact. There all the old Moslem in veteracy against Christiana prevails in almost Its pristine intensity. The Government is weak; and every concession it makes to Christians in the north increases the discontent and insubordination of the untamed and bigotted tribes of the Hedjaz. For this very unsatisfactory state of affairs we are mainly indebted to Lord PALMERSTON. So long as the Pacha at Cairo administered the Herbs:, his police was as effective there as in Egypt. Lord Patstrarros succeeded--at the imminent risk of involving this country in a war with France—in wresting Arabia from NIEIILMET ALI, and placing it once more in nominal subordination to the Porte. He struck down a real and efficient Government In the Hedjas, and substituted a mere shadowy authority. That there is not the same safety fora: Christians at Jeddah,' and throughout the Hedjaz, as at Suez, Cairo, and Alex andria, is the fault of Lord PALMERSTON. Again, the fanaticism of the Arabians, the increas ing jealousy entertained by their local traders of foreign merchants, and the unsocial habits of the whole population as regards aliens, are in great part I th e consequence of their isolation from European contact. This isolation it has been the unvarying aim of Lard PALMERSTON'S policy to perpetuate. His blind and bigoted opposition to the Suez Canal, and to almost every other project for facilitating the acmes of European commerce to the Red Sea, has its origin in a superannuated dream of keeping the Red Sea an English lake, and excluding from it a large proportion even of English traffio—all those heavy goods which are still sent round by the Cape. But for Lord PALMERSTON the Red Sea would long Cr, this have been one thronged mart of ' European commerce—the great highway of the traffic between the West and the East—and the prejudice of the inhabitants of its coasts against Europeans would have been rapidly disappearing. And Lord PALMERSTON is at least an accomplice in that imbecile and procrastinating policy which, by shrinking from the immediate despatch of reinforce ments to India on the first receipt of the news of the Mutiny, allowed an opportunity to be lost of im pressing all the East with a profound sense of our power as a nation. Ma. Dtea,►att'e Bill for the purification of the Thames is by no means either a complicated or a very complete piece of legislation. It does not sus tain the promise of its title. It is a measure, not for cleansing the river, bat for raising the wind—a plan for furnishing funds by which Mr. THWAITES and his colleagues may be enabled to accomplish what every body wants done, end nobody knows how to do. The whole enterprise is thrown on the Metropolitan Board of Works. They alone are to decide on plans, they alone are to be responsible for their execution. Being thus subjected to responsibility they are also to be entrusted with power. For forty years they are to enjoy a delegated right of levying a rate of 3d. in the pound over the whole of the metropolitan districts. They are farther empowered to raise money to the extent of 3,000,0001. en a government gua rantee at 4 per cent. Bach is the outline of the Government scheme. To a certain extent, undoubtedly, it meets one of the difficulties of this confessedly difficult ease. It diminishes, if it does not remove, the financial difficulty. It is also a step in advance, in as far as it substitutes the undivided responsibility of a single Board for the practical irresponsibility of two co-ordinate and consequently conflicting Boards. Bat it does not, indeed it could not well, go beyond this. The engineering difficulty remains precisely what it was. No definite scheme has been propounded whisk approves itself as pre-eminently worthy of adoption. No single man of first-rate engineering genius has come forward with a plan which alike satiate the requirements of science and the j udgmen t of practical good sense. There may be amongst us such a man, but if so, he has not come out. At present there is a perfect chaos of schemes and counterachemes, bewildering alike to the scientific and to the non scientific mind. Combustion of gases; deodorisation of sewage; an iron cloaca in the mid-channel of the Thames ; a couple of vast open canals of pollu tion carried down to Woolwich, to Erith, to Bea-Reach ; embankment of the Thames the carrying away of the timid matter in barges or collecting it in tanks —every conceivable variety, in short, of suggestion hes day after day been submitted to a puzzled public and an equally puzzled Legislature—till the task of selection and decision appears to hays become one of mere hope- Wanes.. Will the Metropolitan Parliament be, indeed, able to extricate us from this bewiklerment ? It is difficult to feel very confident that they will. Boards, like individuals, are necessarily the victims d the scientific wen the' , employ in the conduct of schemes liko these ; and the scientific men they eta. ploy are thsenselves not absolutely proof agaiast the prompting, et professional ambition. The desire to carry out a great engineering work is a temptation almost irresistible to an eminent engineer. How can it be expected that the professional mind which has once conceived ► gigantic scheme of intercepting drainage will be content with the humbler utility of mere works of deodorisation ? This, then, is the rock a-head. If you invest the Metropolitan Board with money and power, you virtually place us at the mercy of any eminent engineer who may have inte rest or ingenuity enough to produce the most plausi ble scheme. As to responsibility, we have not much faith in it. The responsibility of an individual may be a reality, that of a board is a farce. If our Metropolitan Board had been furnished with funds, and clothed with responsible powers from the first, we should by this time have had BIZALGETTE at work, with his high level and low level sewers at the North and the South. Is it comfortable to think of this? Meanwhile the work must be done somehow, and it certainly has a better chance of getting done by being entrusted to one body, than by being ' ' to and fro between two bodies. There is one obvious consideration which meets us at every turn in this discussion. Why is the Metropolitan Board of Works—the collective Prefecture, as it nominally is, of this vast metro polis—eo powerless and so poor that it should require this Government aid ? The answer is plain: Because it is not really what it professes to be, and what it ought to be. The real wealth and the real power are with the Corporation of the City, nor can Lon don ever be placed on a footing of equality, in respect of local management —we do not say with Paris, but even with our own great provincial towns—until that much needed Re form has been carried out, which, by abolishing the Corporation monopoly, shall really vest in one Metropolitan Council the entire management and the vast resources of the whole metropolitan dis trict. The manner in which successive Govern ments have been allowed to palter and procrasti nate with this great question of Corporation Reform is one of the most discreditable features of our present Parliamentary system ; one of the strongest proofs of the lassitude that has overtaken the Liberal Party LAniST -INTELLIGIINCE, THE MASSACRE AT JEDDAH.

The Pays says that private despatches received in Paris this morning announce that the Turks have attacked the Montenegrins. It is added that after three distinct assaults upon them, the Montenegrin forces bad retired to the mountains, where they awaited the enemy. The Pays reproduces this "with all reserve," not having time to verify it. I, however, learn from another source that despatches to the effect stated have certainly been received. This intelligence is highly important, because it is understood that France has promised to protect Montenegro. A Pans letter in the Nord say.:—" Vely Naha, ex-Governor of Candia, has sent a secretary to Paris to institute a prosecution of such journals as have unjustly attacked him." Proceedings were yesterday commenced in his name against the Prom. The Paris Conference held its tenth sitting to-day at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. There can bb no doubt that the completion of the port of Cherbourg is regarded with national pride by the French people irrespective of all political opinions touching the imperial government. The Dibafs, which is more friendly to England than any other French journal, and is wont to pan over in dignified silence any subject in regard to which it I does not feel at liberty to express its real opinions, aye of the leading articles of one of your contem poraries, to which the Daily News of yesterday replied : The These is wrong to suppose that the completion of the port of Cherbourg is a menace addressed to England. England cou►d never have supposed that the works of Cherbourg would have been allowed to remain unfinished from fear of diapkasing her. Good sense and simple pre caution dictated the completion of works which had been carried on for half a century. The great objection of the Times to Cherbourg is that this vast port can only be con eidered as a means of attack, and emnot Le comprised amongst the works constructed for defensive purposes. This argument is not sound, for the military works of a vent rate like France cannot power a purely dellesive character. Can efficient preparations for defence be oon.idered otherwise than as the best mesas of preparing for an attack ? In this respect, the fortifications of Paris have about the same signification as the wore of Cherbourg. Were a war unhappily to break out one day be tween France and England, there would be no distinction be tweet attack and defence. The various governments which have ruled France for the last half century would boss unaptly have been guilty of extreme negligence, had they not sought to endow as with a Channel port worthy of being placed on a par with the great arsenals of our neighbour'. It is unreasonable to attribute the construction of fortifications like those of Cherbourg—that is, fortification' imposed by tradition, by nsorsity, and by the recollection of cruel die asters--to the policy of a government. The policy of a neighbour must be judged by his general conduct ; mamma., it would be impossible for any modern power to prepare really for war without the fact being known from one end of the world to the other. It is to be remarked, however, that doubts of the stability of the Anglo-French alliance do not pro ceed from the English side of the Channel alone. The Prase, by the pen of its principal editor, M. Clueroult, speaks of England in term, of extraordi nary bitterness and suspicion. The alliance of England (says that journal, in the worse of an article on the Jeddah roe nacre), the sin cere red loyal alliance of England, would have permitted France to give a dificrent direction to events In the Seat. Does this alliance exist Can we really count oa tha sincere co-operation of England in a matter which does not exclusively regard her interests ? We will frankly admit our doubts ; and when; we observe that government places the French navy on • repeatable footing, trendorme our old fleet into screw lianof-hattle ships, and increases the amber and strength of our mule, we applaud this farsighted policy. We should like the alliance of England, but we do not reckon on it; consequently, it is right that France should be pre peed to meet the possible explosion of the storm which over • Europe, and should be able to count on her own mouton'. Perhaps the real solution of the Bastian question will take place at Cherbourg and Brest. The Bonne continues to be extremely dull. The Rents, which scarcely varied all day, closed with a fall of 10c. for cash, at 68fr. 25c. and at yesterday's price, 68fr. 30c., for account.

TWO SICILIES. (mot ova owe otenusroarneirr.) NAPLES, JULY 10. The trial of the political prisoners came on last Tuesday, the 6th of July, a strange impression having existed that it was fixed for the 16th. It has lasted every day since, and terminated only yesterday. At present I must content myself with giving you a general idea of the speech of the Attorney-General. Taking his tone from the government he availed himself of the opportunity to vent his anger against the Piedmonteee government. However, compara tively little was said of the persons actually incul pated. Piedmont was the grand theme. There was the conspiracy hatched, and Rubattini and Co. were at the head of it. The same ground has been main tained throughout, but the tone is much more bitter now that Naples has been thwarted in her intentions. The end of the requisitorio is that four have been condemned to death, Baron Niootera and three others, I believe Lombards. The proceedings will be re sumed on Monday, the 12th of July, and very pro bably will terminate on Wednesday, as only two ad vocates will be called on to speak—that is to say, one fur Nicotera, and another for the entirb body of the accused. Front the spirit of the speech, and the general tenor of the proceedings of the government, it is clear to me that Naples will make a stand against Sardinia, however she may have yielded to England. The concession of the Cagliari, not to Sardinia, but to England, was nothing more than an intimation of the line of conduct to be pursued here, and I should not be surprised at reprisals being made on any ves sel of Rubattini that might enter the port. The sentence pronounced by the Court of Prizes on the Cagliari has not been confirmed by his Ma jesty. What the reason of the delay can be it is impossible to say. One result of it is, however,. that hie Majesty cannot be expected to refund the value of the vessel until it has been confirmed. Great astoni.hment is expressed here that no demand has as yet been made by Sardinia for the payment of an i ndemity. Until it be made it is not for this government to offer and indeed the sentence against the Cagliari being signed by his Majesty, it will have a small bill to present in opposition. Ido not think, however, that there is any reasonable ground for surprise at the delay, for until the Cagliari was given up that was the prin cipal point, and it would have been premature to have pressed questions which could only be properly determined alter overhauling the vessel and exa mining the men. No time, however, should now be lat. For the last month no despatches have been received from the Sardinian government, and some go so far am to infer from this that the whole case willbe given up. This, however, is impossible, as the prin ciple has been affirmed and maintained successfully in the case of England, and Count Cavour is not the man to draw back. Meantime, the Neapolitan go vernment, by its constant agitation of the question, shows that it does not regard it as settled. Mr. Acting-Consul Barber returned from Turin last Monday, greatly delighted, as well he may be, with the honour which he has received from his Sacred Majesty. (in being presented Mr. Barber was received by the King with the utmost condescension and affability, and on re tiring was presented with a gold snuff-box, set with diamonds of great value. The order of St. Luna) was offered to Mr. Barber, but respectfully declined. During his entire visit he was the guest of the British minister, Sir James Hudson, who made every effort to make his visit agreeable. It is to his great honour that Mr. Barber has risen in the world and in his profession, and all wise men will regard, therefore, the distinction which he has received with the greater satisfaction.

Loudon, who has been for some time favourably known to the public as the authoress of several instructive and entertaining works on gardening. The deceased lady wu the daughter of Thomu Webb, Esq., of Pitwell House, near Birming ham. Her father having suffered great reverie of fortune by unfortunate speculations in land, Miss Webb found ft de arable to turn her literary taints to some account, and in 1827 she published a novel entitled "Thu Mummy," the scene of which was laid two centuries in advance of that period. Among many other ingenious sugges tions with which the work abounded, that of a steam plough in this work attracted the attention of Mr. John Claudius Loudon, the author of the " Agricul tural Encycloptedia, " and of several highly esteemed treatises on botany, agriculture, and kindred subjects. This led to an introduction, which soon afterwards resulted in their marriage. Mr. Loudon died in 1843. The bast known works of Mrs. London are, " The Lady's Flower Garden," " The Lady's Country Companion," " Gardening for Ladles," and " The Lady's Companion to the Flower Garden." Mrs. London enjoyed a pension of 1001. per annum frost the civil list. the demand lady, whose glad.- noes of manner and varied culture rendered her a deserved favourite in society, will be very generally and sincenly lamented. She leaves behind her an only daughter, Miss Agnes London, who has already given proot that she pos ses... much of the literary ability that dieting-O,BW both her parents.

The Lords' amendments to the Devon Valley Railway Bill. Birkenhead Improvernint Commissioner, (Om sad Watsr) Bill, Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Rail way Bill, and Windsor New Road Bill, were considered and agreed to. Numerous petitions were presented against the Sale et Poisons Bill. All the petitions were from chemists and dni gritUPT PRACTICES PREVENTION ACT CONTINUANCE BILL. The enmities on this bill was mama. Mr. KNATCHBULL-HUGESSEN objected to the travelling expenses clause es it wee propoeed to be amended. It would render it incumbent upon the candidate to provide a conveyance to carry the voter to sad from the poll ; but it would be illegal to allow any money to pus. Now such a provision would be highly objectionable. Mr. VANCE believed its effect would be to throw great expense upon the candidate, and he would mach rather that the law should be ►llowed to remain as it wee. Sir W. FRAZER supported the chase - in "its legal form, which simply legalised the payment of bona. tide travelling 5 3d.OWELL obsirved that if there was not power to pay travelling expeosee, a great proportion of the votes in many of the Irish counties would be at the mercy of their landlords._ Mr. R. LOWE said the difference between the clause and the amendment was simply that between money and money's worth. He thought the amplest course was to authorise the payment of legitimate expenses. Lord HARRY VANE saw no difficulty in the way of eanyhtg out the amendment. Railway tickets or con veyances could be sent to the voter without incoavenienoe. Mr. LABOUCHERE supported the principle of a money payment. He considered it was highly desirable to legalise travelling =pewee. Mr. P. MILES contended that the chum as it originally stood would lead to endless litigation. Who was to determine what were legitimate travelling expenses ? He believed if they sanctioned a money payment it would be opening the door to extensive bribery. Kr. DEBDES was opposed to the legalisation of travelling exposes& Instead of checking abuse it would promote wholesale bribery and corruption. He hoped the committee would penes before it adopted the amendment or the clause. Genera THOMPSON believed that the country would view their proceedings on this bill as a wish on the part of 1 the hoer to see elections carried by the longest purse. (" No, no.") If travelling expenses were to be paid, let them be borne by the borough, or the county, or anyb ody but the candidate—(a laugh)—otherwise the meritorious and de sirable, but poor candidate, would inevitably go to the wall. Sir A. ELTON supported the proposal file providing con veyances, on the ground that it would place the poor voter upon an equality with the rich. Mr. HOUSMAN remarked that the elector went to the poll for his own convenience, not the candidate's, and be had no right to look for expenses. Mr. Secretary WALPOLE, balancing the objection to which the two propositions of paying money, or providing conveyances were open to, had arrived at the conclusion that, of the two, the latter was open to the least, and that was why he supported the amendment of the hon. member for the Tower Hamlets. Mr. MASSEY hoped the committee would sanction no proppoossaall that involved the passing of money between the candMste and the voter. BR7.lsl 7 insii;dl that if they allowed travelling ex. the voter would make a claim on ell the candidates. reould require every member to make a declaration that be had been no party to bribery or corruption in the conduct of his election. Was there any hon. member in the house— (a voice, "No; " laughter)—who was not quite aware that corrupt practices prevailed at most elections Mr. B. OSBOItN bad a morbid sympathy for the pocket of the candidate, having had some expense—(a laugh)—he meant experience, in the matter. At one of his elections for the county of Middlesex, which was conducted upon purity principles, he had to pay 1,2001. for cabs and omnibuses. lie found that the electors had got it into their heads that it was contrary to the British constitution to go to the poll on foot—(a laugh)--and it now appeared as if the House of Commons wished to keep up that delusion. (Hear.) Mr. AYRTON, in reply to the objection of the hon. member for Kidderminster (Mr. Lowe) said the difference between money and money's worth was this : suppose the hon. member had his portrait taken, and sent copies to hie electors instead of half a aoveretgn—(a laugh)—that would be giving them money's worth—(" No," and a laugh)—and that wee just what he proposed to do here. Mr. WHITE said this bill was proposed In view of a general election, which was sot far dietant—(" No, no") — end he was afraid if it passed the party at present in power would open the whole floodgates of bribery to secure their tenure of office. (" Oh, oh.") Alter some farther discussion the committee virtually decided upon the question that clause 1 be so amended se to make it run thus "That it shall be lawful foe any pawn to provide conveyance for any voter for the purpose of an election ; but it shall net be lawful to pay any mosey or give any valuable con sideration to a voter for or in respect of lab travelling ex pense for such purpose.

This tru an adjourned sitting for settling the Het of con tributories. lir. Laterenos appeared for the official liquidator. The first case on which any question arose was that of Mr. George Holmes, whom it was proposed to put cc the list as a holder of firs simnel. Mr. Bvw, who on his behalf, took the objeo dota that there was no acceptance of the sham in writhe. under the band of Kr. Holmes. It was admitted that Mr. Holmes had paid 151. as a call of IL per share upon five shares. A further Oregon vu that the register of share holders, so called, was deficient in two out of the firo requi sites prescribed by the 19th section of the Wuullug up Act of 1856. ....ilia Honour said he bed brought his mind to a very clear outclu.ion that this gentleman moot be placed on the list. The fact that he had paid the calla was undisputed , and it wee not likely that he would do this if he had not considered himself • shareholder. Thin wan supported by the regieter of ahareho/dese, which, though it might not be com plete as a register, was yet " a book of the com pany," and ea such was prime faei• evidence of the matters contained in it under the 81st section. The cash-book, which we also evidence, showed that the 161. had been paid by Xr. Holmes es the all on five shares. It appeared to the court that where the company bad not pre• scribed a form for the acceptance of shares in writing, se la this cam, it was net essential that the coatributers sheen have signed such acceptance. He most therticmi be placed on the list. ' The name of lir. John Taylor. a holder of ten shares, wee objected to on somewhat similar grounds. Hie Honour said the evidence was equally conclusive as is the Met cam, and the proceedings being at the suit of a cre ditor. that evidence was sufficient to Ota the °oats ibutor on the lid.
