It was not his purpose to C‘preSS his ,su dews on the subject : but rather to afford an , !...ttottity to some of the gentlemen present to • obein the views which they entertained.

(test with the subject, and they wonld he able to H s, Into the benefit of it, and to show him that this est ion (1311.1 no longer in trifled with, and certainly no tezer delayed. It, Et,. Mr. M'Cii r. produced a memorial prepared by the Tower Hamlets Eatepayete Association, which be Abollt to read, when Mr. Hardy said he was already I :minted with its contents. having seen it before the de putation hail entered the room. A member of the deputation and the representative of the nateliff Ratepayers' Association read a litleMOlial adopted by that body. and in which it was stated that the equal ist [loll '124133 would only impose a yearly rate of Ist. or lest. in the pound. instead of the heavy and unjust rate at pre r.ent Icvte. 1. _ - The Ike. Mr. Ma i Jar, nt the rerinest of Mr. Ayrton, supplemented the information contained in the memorial which he h... 1 mese:Av.:. A' an illustration of the inability o f t h e pis ,f the east of London to meet the poor rates .11,1.1, them, he said that Mr. Benjamin Dickscn, magistrate. stated at a meeting held in Burdett .ll. hum house. that he had signed 20,000 summonses the non-payment of the laver-rates in Is6o. Ti, ,e was a general feeling amongst the inhabitants of poor parishes in the east of London that they were unjustly dealt with in the matter of the poor rates as pared with the rich parishes of the West-end. The i t, lie property of the nit: rich parishes of the West of 1,11.10 n in the year IN.I was -1,600,001/., while that of the Asoparishes in the East mot was only 1,140,0001. T. mlaildtants of the rich parish e s w ere now sen di ng elisaiels to aid those suffering from the prevailing dis tr, ss, and be scarcely hesitated to call such money con money ; because. if they were paying lid, in permit and the poor parishes were pay -.s. ikl., it was only a small instalment of wi:at should he paid by those wealthy parishes. The di het. of the poor laws were strikingly evident at present, 1s cnasc if proper laws existed paid officers would do what Wass s ow being done for the poor by volunteers. The eistiess in St. ieorge'siin-the-Last was very great. During four days of the present week no fewer than 1,700 per s.,* were received in the stone-yard of the workhouse s casual poor. The writferers were the stalwart I, who build our iron ships and vessels of war which sic necessary, not for the protection of the East of London, but for that of the inhabi tants of the West end, and those men at present 1...10l more like hungry wolves than subjects of England. The shopkeepers and householders of the east of London could n., longer meet the demands made upon them. Sta tistical information which he had obtained showed th_t in tit. George's-in-the-East, containing forty ia4lit thousand people, there were not two hundred persons shoe annual income amounted to 200. He thought if flu income tic and police tax were equally distributed in the. metropolis that the poor-rate should be equally apiortione.r. Mr. M ‘NNIN.:, the chairman of the London Dock Com pany. stated that that company paid 30,000?. annually on ps.r rays. and that they would have to pay 3.5,030 f. this year. lie denied that the company had caused any dis tees., and said that they had never paid less than 2s. CA. a sit) , to their men. elvrov, the representative of the Mile-end local board at the Metropolitan Board of Works, having ex pressed his views. Sir C. Ilfili.fir, M.l'., called attention to the fearful destitution prevailing in Deptford and Greenwich, and ca lm:so:a the hope that an amended poor-law would in some measure cope with the distress suck as that at pie sent existing. Mr. Fut, the chairman of the Bethnal-green board of guardians, assured Mr. Hardy that the distress in Bethnal green was increasing to an alarming extent. Ile said that houses which were formerly occupied by one family Lad now a family in every room and the condition of these poor people was abject in the extreme. Mr. L'a'rne, M.P.. paid a tribute to Mr. Hardy's ability to deal with the poor-laws, and said be hoped the hon. gent Tema n would hare the credit of being the first to re medy the evils attending the working of the existing laws. Afterfa few words from Mr. Br xrox, and Mr. AIkTON having informed Mr. Hardy that he had got all the infor mation which the deputation could give him, Mr. llama said he deeply regretted that circumstances *Linda have caused the extreme pressure which existed at present. The difficulties of the question were not so slight as some of the speakers seemed to imagine. He willful to assure the deputation that early in the session it would be his duty to state the course which be proposed to take with reference t metropolis. He thought it would be imprudent to make any definite statement now. The subject had had his attention, and it would continue to have his attention, and he hoped that in the measure he would introduce seine parts of it at least would be worthy ofitheir approbation. The deputation then withdrew. THE BISHOP OF CHESTER ON CHURCH IN.V OVA TONS. The Bishop of Chester has replied as follows, through lii. 31'Neile, to the second letter of some of the Liverpool clergy Hawarden Castle, Chester, Jan. fl, 1867. " Ily dear Sir,-1 am sorry to be thus late in acknow ledging your commithication, which came into my hands on Tuesday hat. But the Standard of Thursday, bought at a railway station, made me aware that not only had the address signed by you and five friends been printed almost as soon as I first saw it, but also that by a notice which you had prefixed to it in the Record the appeal had been transferred to the bishops, generally, or rather to the public at large. And I need nut, therefore, regret as deeply as I otherwise should Lave done the delay to which absence from this place on official duties for three days in the course of last week has given occasion. You and your friends were right in con sidering that I did not intend to rebuke the memorialists, for I not know how far the practices of the hundred and twenty-eight clergymen are or are not chargeable with variations or omissions.' But it seemed right to remind any whom it might happen to concern, that the law, if called into action at all, must make its action felt in more than one direction. The three points brought forward in the address of January 14, which hardly admit of the sum mary settlement therein suggested, were very far from being the only or the most prominent that were in my mind when reference was made to variations and omis sions.' I most, however, be allowed to select the time for speaking explicitly and definitely on questions which it ap- pears to me inexpedient to discuss in newspapers. Mean while, the assurance of you and your friends' readiness to comply with episcopal injunctions is most satis factory. The desire for ' harmony and peace' ex pressed in the note with which you kindly accompanied this addriss is felt, I venture to say, by no one more strongly than by me. Might we not hope that one of the hindrances to these blessings would be removed if all of us followed the judgment of the Court of Final Appeal in F....dallies! Cannes :—'That, in the performance of the services, rites, and ceremonies ordered by the Book of Common Prayer, the directions contained in it must be strictly obs.irved ; that nu omission or addition can by permitted.' May He who maketh men to be of one mind in a house bring us continually nearer to one another and to himaelf.—l beg leave to remain, my dear air, very faith fully yours, " WILLIAM CHESI7.I." The plan of reducing the water to a certain level in the ornamental lakes of the London parks, before the approach of winter, has been adopted for many years in the Berlin Thiergarten. The only risk a skater runs, if kveping within the bounds set by authority, is th-tt of kin..; immersed in two or three feet of water. Another derice is the providing skating grounds in the heart of the town by flooding the llicrgarten, otherwise deserted in linter. Six inches is the average depth of the water is such localities.

INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL SOCIETY SHARE LISTS.- (THIS DAY.) (L/MJTBL).-(THIS DAY). The fourth general meeting of the proprietors WAS held at noon at the London T►vers ; Mr. ROBERT A. HEATH in the chair. 011 o'OLoca. The railway market is firm to-day, and% a rise of to 4per cent. has occurred in Metropolitan, Great Western, London and North Western, South Eastern, Great Eastern, and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire stocks. Metropolitan stock is now quoted 131} to 132 ; Great Western, 65 to ; London and North Western, 1231 to 1241 ; Midland, 1251 to ; Lan cashire and Yorkahire, 130/ to 131; Caledonian, 119 to 121 ; South Eastern, 731 to 744; Great Eastern, 35 to ; Great Northern, 120} to 12111; ditto A, 1324 to 133 ; Landon, Cha&am, and Dover, 18 to 1; North British, 39 to 40 ; and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, 641 to 1. Grand Trunk of Canada Railway stock is in quired for, and exhibits a favourable tendency ; the present price is 204 to 21. East Indian is quottd 107 to 108, and' Lombardo-Venetian, 1511 The report and balance-sheet have already appeared. That'n.tuanag, in moving the adoption of the report and accounts, said it was not a pleasant thing to address a large body of shareholders who no doubt felt disappointed at there being no dividend. The last year had been more trying to companies of that kind than to any others ; but their capital was intact ; and if the report extended up to the end of January instead of December, the meeting would see several thousand pounds more to the good. Several inquiries had been made of the boanl respecting calls. They had not, and never had, any intention to make a call ; nor was there any necessity for one, and he did not see any probability that there would be. Complaints had been made about the item of expenses, namely, 14,000/. The question of expenses was a relit- Live one ; and there was no other company with their capital which had so small an expenditure. The average expenses of that company from the commence ment. with a capital of 750,000/., was 14,0001., or 2 per cent., which he thought was not an excessive amount. Sur prise had been expressed that under the circumstances the directors should have taken their salaries. The directors had laboured hard and taken no holidays during the year, and they could not therefore be fairly expected to forego rentunemton. As regarded the securities they had been thoroughly investigated by the auditors. Those connected with stocks had been valued by brokers ; the others were referred to in a foot-note to the report, and could not be liquidated speedily. The gross profits of the year amounted to 65,000/. Their moat unfortunate loos arose from an advance on account of the Northampton and Banbury Railway. This was made in the hope that it would enable the contractors to complete the line, hut that had not been the case. That was the principal I loss of the past year. SHAREHOLDER—What is the amount of it ? ORDINARY MARIS AND STOCKS. The CH al aux.'s-70,00W. (Hear, hear.) The Egyptian Railway loan had also involved a considerable present loss. The amount advanced was 90,000‘. ; it rested, however, on the guarantee of the Egyptian government ; it paid 11 per cent. interest ou the price at which it was taken, and it would bo paid elf by degrees within six years. The most important subject in them was the metropolitan sewage scheme. (Hear.) As before ex plained, that company was associated with the most Mi• portant sewage firm in the country for one-half the ex pense ; and experience had justified the opinion he had expressed, thatthe scheme would prove profitable. He then referred to the experience obtained on a farm of 200 acres by at, expenditure of 9,500/.. only $0 acres having been used for sewage purposes. For a penny per ton the return yielded in dairy produce was, he observed, 2,500 f. per annum. It wee contemplate d to reduce the capital of the Sewage Company from 2,000,000 f. to 1,00,000 i., but it was thought best to wait for the ex• ' perience of the next few months. The company had, more over, a focus pratitotia. Three miles an d a half of land would be finished within six months. The company might then retire if it pleased with. out any further outlay; but it was not unlikely that before that time other parties would be ready to can yon the undertaking. He then referred to an ad verse opinion of Baron Liebig, to the effect that sewage alone would not produce rye grass, and cited in opposition to it an application of sewage to rye-grass seed which had resulted, he said, in the most extraordinary crops ever seen. In con clusion, he said he was sure that if the statement now presented had been made • few months ago, amid the confusion and loss of that period, it would have been received with satisfaction ; and he thought the directors, instead of blame, deserved credit for the manner in which they had stuck to the concern. Mr. DUNPHIE enquired to what extent the company was pledge to the sewage scheme. The CHAIRMAN, after remarking that in ouch cases it would be a disadvantage to the company to disclose all the details, replied that, supposing the company to retire from it in August next, the entire loss could not exceed 110,0001. A SHAREHOLDER complained of the insufficiency of the information afforded by the board. So far as be could judge the shares instead of being at a discount ought to be at par. The Cum 101 AN—So they ought. A Sitagritot.Deg wished to knew in what amount of liabilities the company was involved in consequence of its connection with other companies' For example, there was the Hudson's Bay Company. The CHAIRMAN observed that in that ease all was paid up. The SHAREHOLDER would like to know the precise amount of liability. The CHAIRMAN had no doubt the proprietor would, but he was not going to tell, having found from experience the inconvenience of such a course. He would, however, state that there was no liability which could affect the capital of the company. In reply to • further question from the same PRO PRII:101t, The 11.1 id he would not consent to the re-or ganisation of the company for the purpose of reducing the capital. Another SuanegotnEn expressed his approval of the conduct of the board in taking remuneration for their services. Mr. 111101:i believed from personal experience that the sewage scheme was one of the finest schemes in the world. Mr. L£NWARI. referred to the results of sewage irrigation at Croydon. as showing bow extremely profitable it was likely to be at the 31aplin Sands. At Croydon a farm which was let at 30s. per acre would now let at IW., in consequence of the application of sewage. As regarded advances to railways, he thought they should be confined to cases in which lines bad been brought to a condition in which their value could be tested. The CHAIRMAN. in replying, raid that if the succeeding months were equal to January there would be a very good report at the end of the current half-year. The com pany had no investments that could be called permanent. There was nothing in the liabilities of this company which could interfere with the reorganisation of the company, but the board did not think that course desirable. He added that, having made one mistake with respect to railway■, he was not likely to make another. (Hear, hear.) DUNPHIE wished toknow whether the company had anything to do with the Chilian loan. The CHAIRMAN declined to =ewer the question. The report and accounts were then adopted annul moualy, and the retiring directors and auditors having been re-elected, the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the Chairman and his colleagues. NEW CONSOLIDATED DISCOUNT COMPANY. (THIS DAY.) This day the Bret general meeting of share twirlers was held at the London Tavern ; Mr. IttcHaansos in the chair. The report, which has already been published, having been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, said the results had been satisfactory, considering the times they passed through. Since the reconstruction of the company many of the old customers bad come back to them. The business, a., would be seen by the accounts, was very large, but was of a sound character. Of the bills dis counted only 7,000 f. had come back, but some of them had been already paid, and he did not think they would ultimately lose a single shilling. ( Hear, hear.) The board had taken no step with regard to a call, but that question would probably come under their consideration before the next meeting. Mr. BARG(N.:, seconded the resolution and remarked that there was nothing of a speculative or of a financial cha racter about the business. (Hear, hear.) The report was adopted. Mr. Richardson and Mr. Thompson were re-elected directors. The retiring auditors were likewise re-elected. A resolution authorising the directors to divide the pro fits for the three months during which the company has been in existence which enabled the board to make a divi dend at the rate of 7. per cent. was passed. A vote of thanks to Mr. Baker, the manager, and to the Chairman, terminated the proceedings. RAILWAYS Bristol and tutor .. Coat and Bandon =.. Dublin and Balladhube Dundee.

Otte o'CLocer" The tendency of the markets for public securi ties is decidedly firm to-day, owing partly to the anticipation that the rise in the Paris exchange will tend greatly to diminish the exportation of gold from this country. The transactions are numerous, and include an increased number of &nal investments. The funds have improved per cent., and most of the English railway stucka n to I. Foreign bonds, however, show no change of importance. Atlantic and Great Western Railway debentures and consolidated mortgage bonds are extremely heavy, and have experienced a fresh fall of 3 per cent. upon the announcement just made with regard to the affairs of that undertaking. The demand for money is rather more active than yesterday, but the quotation for three months' paper is unaltered, at 3 per cent. Short loans on English government securities are obtainable in the Stock Exchange at 1 to 2 per cent. - it Consols are now quoted 89 ; :t to 1 both for money and the account (February 7). The foreign stock market is quiet, and the only movement of importance is a rise of 1 per cent. In Chilian scrip, viz., to VI to / prem. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 54 to 55, ex div. ; ditto of 1865, 201 to ; Greek, 14/ to a ; Spanish Passive, 211 to 22/ ; ditto Certificates, 14/ top ; Italian of 1881, 54 to ex div. ; Mexican, 17/ to 18 ; and Russian Serip, 11 to prem. American securities are unaltered, with the ex ception of Atlantic and Great Western Rail way Debentures and Consolidated Mortgage Bonds, which have again given way. The present quotations are :—b-20 Bonds, 72A to ; Erie Rail way shares, 434 to I ; Illinois Central, 801 to 81 Atlantic and Great Western Debentures. 42 to 46 ; ' ditto Consolidated Mortgage Bonds, 30 to 32. International Financial shares are quoted to dia. ; London Financial, 181 to 171 dis. ; General Credit, 2} to 14 dia.; Credit Ponder, 5f to 1 dia. ; National Discount, 94 to 1 prem. ; and Hudson's Bay, 16 to I. It is said that application will shortly be made to the Engliah money market for 4,000,0001. required for the construction of the Intercolonial Railway. According to rumour, the loan will come through Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co., acting on behalf of the Confederated Provinces of British North America, and will be issued in 4 per cent. debentures. The distinctive feature of the issue will be that it will possess the guarantee of the imperial government, and, under these condi tions, it seems to be expected that the four per oent. bonds can be placed at the price of about 97 or 98. About 40,0001. in bar gold for the continent, and 20,000 sovereigns for Egypt, were withdrawn from the Bank yesterday. The City of Baltimore, from New York, has brought only about 3,0001. in specie. It has transpired that, in consequence of the e).- traordinary and persistent attacks which have been made here, on the Continent, and in America, upon the credit of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway Company, steps have been taken for the immediate appointment of an influential coin. mittee, representing the interests alike of bond, debenture, and share holders. The committee will be charged with the task of thoroughly investigating the whole position of the undertaking, and more especially the state of its finances. The committee is expected to be constituted to-day, and from that date the financial agent of the company in Lon don, Mr. James McHenry, will defer to it in all matters relating to the management of the com pany's finances. It is presumed that a fully qua hued engineer will be sent out to America to in vestigate the company's position on the spot. Mean while, though the financial state of the under taking here is unquestionably one of difficulty, the accounts from America continue to represent the progress and prospects of the traffic as satisfactory, and the general results of the concern as remu nerative. wis lei i le dis 10 Otago&6lldand Invest, 6 ,Ottooan Goo (Wafted, 10 ' Panama lt. diatm(L.)

WRECK ON THE DIALHAII COAST. —WHITHVRIP, NEAR BUNI.ERINAND, THCEISDAI NIGHT. —The brig Benton, of South Shields, bound from London to the Tyne, in ballast, gut on the rocks off Whitburn this morning, in • dense fog and • southerly gale, accompanied by a heavy sea (reports Captain Duff, R.N.). The crew, fearing their vessel would instantly go to pieces, took to their long boat, pre viously burning a tar barrel as a signal of distress. As soon as the signals were observed from the shore the Thomas Wilson lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution was at once launched, and proceeded out. On arriving at the wreck, and finding that she was waterlogged and aban doned the lifeboat pulled out to sea, and fortunately sue t ceeded in finding the shipwrecked men, who were then taken into the lifeboat, and brought safely ashore. 66 ST 101 103 JOINT STOCK.

Our market to-day was very scantily supplied with English wheat. The general quality of the wimples, how ever, was tolerably good. The few millers in attendance purchased cautiously ; nevertheless, Monday's prices were supported. The show o foreign wheat was slightly on the iacrea , e. Both red and white qualities moved off slowly, but as full currencies. Flontier e trrnes of grain commando.' extreme rates. Both English and foreign barley were in full average sumily, and sluggish request, on former terms. The welt trade was steady, at Monday's quotations. The 'owl: of imdt was moderate. Good cord oats were firm in price, but superior kinds were a slow inquiry, at barely late rates. In beans, next to nothing was doing at full prices. Peas couniimded very little attention, the quotations, therefore, wile almost nominal. The flour trade was rather heavy, at previous rates. Linseed and cakes moved off steadily at full currencies. ('lover, canary, and other seeds, were very inactive. ♦RRIVAI.. 01 , GRAIN, &c.. INTO LONDON. EV WATVR CARILIA.A, ' • LO)I JAN 21 To JAN. 21. i - L 1 >I VI. 1 : I ;11 M
