The Manchester City Council have declined to join in the invitation of Lord Derby to Manchester to Icaugurate the Albert Memorial. Thls decision had already been come to by the General Purposes Committee, and after some discussion at the council meeting yesterday, the resolution was confirmed. The Manchester papers state that, upon reconsi deration of the subject, Captain Andersen, the commander of the Great Eastern, has decided to accept the honour of knighthood, offered him by the Queen, for his services in connexion with the Atlantic cable. The Times urges that as the prohibition against smoking in railway carriages is universally disregarded, the companies should at once cancel their obsolete regula. tion, recognise what they cannot prevent, and control what they cannot abolish. In other words, they should provide separate carriages for smokers and non-smokers. The new arrangement might cost the companies a little trouble, but as it is established in Germany, where there is more smoking than in England, it cannot involve any insurmountable difficulty. M. Prevost Paradol, criticising, in the Deba's, from a conservative point of view, the speeches of Mr. Bright, adds :—" What is to be said, however, of thos e French journals which, in narrating the occurrences at Manchestei, think it right to deplore more than ever the oppression which weighs upon the English people? When these journals have secured for all French citizens the right to discuss in open air the constitution of the country before 200,000 persona—not to speak of a number of other rights, more precious, more useful, and more convenient practice—it will be time for them to institute compari sons with England, and to d'rect our neighbours in the path of progress." The ultramontane journal the Monde professes to be quite of opinion that the Pope sill leave Rome. "It may be," it says, " a trial for the Holy Father to leave the tomb of the apostles, but the certainty of returning on an early day will soften for him the bitterness of exile." One of the most curious sights on the coast at Fatretat (Seine-Inferieure) was the Chaudron du Diable. Tbis was a kind of shaft running down the cliff, and open Atha bottom. At certain stages of the tide the wind forced the water in to the lower opening with such a vio knee that it was projected to a great height above the top. A landslip of the cliff has just filled up the shaft, and put an end to the phenomenon. Amongst the curiosities now exhibited at the fair of 'lt. Michel, at Havre, is a Prussian, who, with the spike helmet (sKM:center) on his head demonstrates to the curious the manieuvres of the famous needle-gun, for the snail charge of Id. The crowd is always excessive, and the showman is making a little fortune. A letter from Prague, to the Fremtlenblatt of Vienna, says :—" A deputation of burgesses waited on the superior of the Jesuits to express to him the discontent caused in the minds of the people by the presence of the order amongst them, and to urge that he and those under him should leave Prague and Bohemia as soon as possible. The superior replied that they had been introduced by the archbishop, and that they could only withdraw on an order from that high dignitary. The &eolo of Milan says that General Menabrea, whilst negotiating the conclusion of peace at Vienna, has also been treating for the marriage of Prince Humbert with the daughter of the Archduke Albert. The Princess is named Mathilda Mary Aldegonde Alexandrina, and was born on the 15th July, 1845. She is said to possess great personal attractions. Madame Ristori made her Nbut at the French Theatre, New York, in Medea, on the 20th ult. The audi ence included the French and Russian ministers, and prominent American authors, divines, lawyers, and poli ticians. The New York journals are enthu siastic as to her performance, though they here little to say in praise of the rest of the company. The Nes, York Herald devotes no less than three columns and a half of closely printed type to the subject, divided under headings of this kind " From our Critic in the private box ;" " From our Critic in the dress circle ;" " From our Critic in the parquet " From our Critic with the promenade ticket," Sec. Madame Parepa had arrived out. ANOTHER " ROB ROY " VOYAGE.—Mr. J. Mao vegor sends to the Times an account of a voyage just com pleted by him in another Rob Roy canoe (made of oak), in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. He began at Kongo ringer, on the beautiful Glommen river in Norway, which is there about the size of the Rhine at Cologne. The voyage included a three days' cruise in the Baltic. " Here," says Mr. Macgregor, " I had, happily, line weather, and coasted all alone beside grand cliffs with strange sea birds scream ing. I lived well but roughly all the journey, sometimes rocking my dinner on a desert island by lighting a huge fire of wood, or making soup in a lone fisher's hut, or sleep ing on straw beside my boat. Once I passed the night all alone in the lantern of a lighthouse, which was warm and lively, and where I could read and sketch." He was received everywhere with hearty hospitality, and was often " an honoured guest " at marriage 18 tea, school treats, and rifle meetings of volunteers. Eight times he had to reach steamboats in open water and haul the boat , CO board; twice he did this at night. During the last two months Mr. Macgregor 'travelled in this canoe More than 1,000 miles, of which about a third was done miler sail. He also went nearly 1,000 miles in 25 steamers, and 500 on six railways, the whole ex , Pense of the trip being 451. " I venture again," he writes " strongly to recommend this mode of travelling to all lien who desire to hare healthful exercise of mind and body, an intimate communication withall classes of foreign People, and a thorough enjoyment of scenery quite inaci tangible by ether mean, and I can only hope that the other members of ' The Canoe Cub' who hams paddled the wormer hours in more homely waters, have been equally 4 1)PY and comfortable, and have returned as sale as their captain." ais 04 TILE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 4, 1866. OVEREND, GURNEY, AND CO. (LIMITED.) PROCEEDINGS IN CHANCERY.—(IIIIII DAY.) The ewe of Overend, Gurney, and Co. (Limited), under the winding up application, which was before Mr. Peaks on Thursday last, and reported in this journal, was resumed this morning. The matter on Thursday assumed an important phase, as an application was made on the part of certain shareholders to postpon e the call of 101. which in the aggregate amounted to one million, " until November, as a searching investigation was taking place and payment was resisted on the ground of alleged fraud. Mr. Peaks, the chief clerk, made the order for the call, but suspended the matter until an application had been made to Vice-ChanoePor Stuart on the subject It had been rumoured that an adjournment had taken place till the 3rd November, and considerable interest had been created among the creditors, principally depositors, and the shareholders, whether the report was correct. Mr. Hale (Young and Co.) appeared for the liquidators ; Mr. George Lewis, sen. (Lewis and Lewis), for the Detente Association of Shareholders ; and Mr. Denton, from the office of Messrs. b i tinard, for depositors and creditors to upwards of 600, 000 Mr. Hale sai d it bad been mentioned in the newspapers that Vice-Chancellor Stuart had adjourned the matter to the 3rd of November, and he asked for information. The Chief Clerk dad he knew nothing about it. Mr. George'Lewis produced the brief of Mr. C. Sarandon, indorsed th at an adjournment was made to the 3rd of November to Vice-Chancellor Kindersley'a court, to which the case belonged. As the order was made for the hearing of the application next term, the question was settled for the present. Mr. Denton thought a list of creditors should be filed. He appeared fora number to a large amount, and one, he was understood to say, to upwards of 500,0001. Mr. George Lewis said Mesas. Aihurst and Morris ap peared for Mr. Oppenheim, and other creditors. Mr. Denten thought a representative of the creditors should be appointed. The Chief Clerk believed that ht.ul7tcembot=re minted the creditors. Surely a list of the creditors. -- "Mr7 . 71;;;; Lewis said that questions would arise as to who were creditors ; there were depositors who had never changed from the old firm, and their right could be con tested and points would arise as to others. The matter stands for the 3rd of November, and Mr. Lewis thanked the Chief Clerk for his attention and cour tesy. The case would now come before Vice-Chancellor Bindersley. Mr. Gay, from the office of Mr. Dale, Furnivars-inn, appeared for a depositor to a large amount named Ste phenson. THE MERCHANTS COMPANY (LIMITED). (THIS DAY.) The first general meeting of the shareholders of ibis company was held at the London Tavern this day; Mr. R. S. LANE in the chair. _ In thefr report the directors say they regret that they cannot offer such congratulations on the position of the company's affairs as they had anticipated. The late most severe financial and commercial panic has seriously affected all clauses of business, and this company has not failed to suffer from it. In stating this, however, the directors are glad to be able to add that the actual losses made, or even anticipated, are not in themselves serious ; it has been in the almost absolute impossibility of ccu./ing on business transactions with the customary facilities, and in the consequent lock-up of the company's funds that the chief inconvenience has been felt. The re sources of the company have been chiefly embarrassed by the two following circumstances ;-Ist. By the effectwhich the late panic has had on the liquidation of Messrs. Lane, Hankey, and Co.'s affairs ; and, 2ndly, by the inability of several of the largest and apparently, last year, the most reliable shareholders to meet their calls ; this latter circumstance necessitated the making of the second call, and the directors have, in consequence, been obliged to decline to entertain many most favourable business operations, and to restrict the liabilities of the company to the greatest possible extent. By this course, however, the directors are now able to as sure the shareholders that the liabilities of the company are very inconsiderable, and considering the po sition of affairs, they feel sure the shareholders will deem this real cause for congratulation. The accounts submitted exhibit no statement of profit and loss ; it will be readily understood that in merchants' business it is impossible to show fairly any re sults until the close of the year, to which time all accounts and account sales are chiefly made up. The directors have in clew a plan for the reconstruction of the company on a basis which will not increase the liability of the share holders, and will, in their opinion, place the company on a more sound and satisfactory basis. They anticipate that within a short time they will be able to submit this scheme to the shareholders who will be specially convened for that purpoee. The CHAIRMAN expressed his regret at having had to present a report of such an unsatisfactory obaracter. The balance showed that a large number of their shares were applied for, and 8,129 were allotted, and 425 had boon for feited, and 115,5430/. had been called in. They had ex pected that 70.000/. would have been sufficient for the company. If the first call had been fully paid up the se cond would not have been necessary. On the second call they had received only 10,000(., so that they would have been in a better position if the first call bad been fully paid, and the second bad never been mode. Their register contained the names of share holden; who up to the panic were considered the best names in London. They were compelled, when the panic came, to make a second call ; it was paid badly, for instead of 35,0001.,'it had only yielded them 10,0001. ; but it had enabled them to weather the storm. The discredit into which the finn of Lane, Hankey, and Co. had fallen into had reacted to a certain extent upon this company, but there was no statement made when the business of the firm was taken over which was not borne out to the full. If the second call had been fully paid up the direc tors would have been able to have made veiy large profits. It was proposed to reconstruct the com pany, not by increasing but by decreasing the lia bility of the shareholders. He did not wish at present to state what their plan of re-construction would be, but he might observe that 425 shares had been for feited on which 10/. each had been paid. Then there was due on the first call 15,200/., and pro ceedings had been taken to recover these cans. If those shares were forfeited there would be 20,000/. paid to the company which would go towards the amount paid for the goodwill of the business they had purchased. The call on the shares of the chairman of the company he had reason to believe would be paid. He believed that if the directors bad the confidence of the shareholders they would be able to carry on • profitable business. He moved that the report be received and adopted. Mr. JAMES CHILPS seconded. As an independent director he could bear testimony to the value of the business of Lane. Hankey and Co., which the company took over. [The meeting was proceeding when our report left.] GRAND TRUNK OF CANADA RAILWAY. (THIS DAY.) The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders was held at the Lon don Tavern, st:l o'clock ; Mr. R. WASKIN, M.P., in the chair. The report,w hie& was issued some time ago, having been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN moved its adoption. He said at the last meeting he stated that the policy of the directors would be to reduce the engagements of the com pany as far as possible, to keep down the capital, and to have remitted home as large a net profit as could be obtained. The addition to capital in the last half year was only 4,000/., and the payment of the interest on the fi rst bonds and preference stocks was a very satisfactory feature. In the last half year there had been a net profit of 207,0001. in American cur rency,against 139,000/. in the corresponding period of 1865. True the Buffalo returns were not included in the latter period, but still there had been a large addition to the revenue. There had been a larger re ceipt per passenger, and a smaller receipt for goods per ton. From 1862 to the present time they had lost 222,0001. by depreciation in American currency. Latterly there had been some diminution in the traffic receipts. One cause of this was the cessation of the Reciprocity Treaty ; to which he must add that the same sort of weather that had existed here had prevailed in Ca nada, and had materially injured the harvest. Under these circumstances, the shareholders must not be surprised if the traffic of the next few weeks was not quite satisfactory. The falling off arising from the weather had equally affected many of the railways of the United States. When the weatherwas constantly bad people would not travel, and the crops were sure to be damaged. He then adverted to the fire at the importantport of Portland as another source of traffic lose, and observed that' many of the poorer inhabitants having been deprived of their homes, the officers of the company subscribed no less than 1,0001. (Cheers.) Mr. Brydges had, he said, re ported that there were good openings for an exten sion of traffic between Canada and Nova Bootie, New Brunswick, and other provinces. As regarded Fenian invasion, he thought that subject had not been treated with sufficient gravity in this country. The whole of the men of the company had been enrolled as volunteers, and would • he believed, if necessary, prove efficient soldiers. There had been some threatenings of further outrages, but he trusted it would in tlat case be found that Canada was equal to the emergency. A distinguished American officer in command near the district especially concerned had ' assured Mr. Brydges that he had possession of the Fenian arms captured in the last outbreak, and that he would do tem /thing in his power to prevent any L further invasion. (Cheers.) The officers of the Grand L Trunk Railway Company rendered, as was acknowledged in Canada, most efficient service in opposing the enemy. L Mr. ADAMS observed that they had had good promises • ever/ half-year since 1861, bat he did not per ', eeive any actual improvement. (Hear, hear.) The reports reminded him of one of the late Mr. Cobden's travellers, who never sent home any orders ' but gave beautiful descriptions of the countries which he ,:sited. I (Laughter.)

The directors of the Bank of England, at their weekly court to-day, decided to make no alteration 1 in the rate of discount, which accordingly remains at 4i per cent. It was not anticipated that any change would be announced just now, but a reduc tion to 4 per cent. will doubtless be effected within the next fix:might, owing to the continuous im provement in the accounts of the Bank. There is still a great absence of business in the Stock Exchange, and quotations exhibit a droop ing tendency. Consols are maintained at the slight advance which took place yesterday, but most other securities, including British railways and foreign stocks, are flat. Turkish of 1865 and Italian of 1861 have further receded. Financial shares present no recovery. The applications for discount to-day are upon a very moderate scale, and, owing to the super abundance of money, the best paper is taken at 1. per cent. below the Bank rate. In the Stock Exchange short advances on English government securities are obtainable at 3 to 31 1 per cent. Consols are now quoted 89 / for money, and 89 7-16 to 9-16, or 89i, for the 9th inst. In the foreign stock market a reduction of 1 to per cent. is observable in Turkish of 1865, Greek, Spanish Passive, Italian of 1861, and Mexican. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 541 to 55/ ; ditto, 1865, 29/ to 301 ; Greek, 141 to 15 ; Spanish Passive , 22 ! to ; ditto Certificates, 141 to 15; Italian of 1861, 55 to ; and Mexican, 16; to ; United States 5-20 Bonds are in demand, and have advanced fl per cent., the present price being 701 to 1. Erie Railway shares are quoted 50/ to 311, being I lower ; and Illinois Central, 771 to 781, showing no variation. Anglo-American and Atlantic Telegraph shares are steady, at 161 to 17, and bit to I,respectively. The steamer Tanjore took this morning only 6,3001. in specie, of which 1,8001. is for Alexandria, and 4,500/. for Hong Kong. International Financial shares are quoted 1;..' to 11 dia. ; London Financial, 17 to 13 dis.; leneral Credit, 21 to 1 dis. ; Credit Funnier, 31 to dia. ; and National Discount, 81 to 9 prem. The following resolution of the Committee has been posted in the Stock Exchange : Resolved,—That on and after the fith instant, Imperial Ottoman Five per Cent. Bonds be delivered "ex coupon ;" and that in settlement of accounta the coupon be taken at 21. 10a. nett. About 54,0001. in bar gold, and 20,000 sove reigns, received chiefly from Buenos Ayres, were taken to the Bank yesterday, making a total of 509,0001. for the week. During the same period no withdrawals fur export have been reported. The China, from Alexandria, has brought 290,0001. in specie, chiefly from India. The biddings for Government Bills on India took place yesterday at the Bank of England. The pro portions allotted were—to Calcutta, 20.30.000 rs. ; to Madras, 20.000 rs. ; and to Bombay, `►.1'5.000 rs. The minimum price was fixed at is. 101 d. on all three presidencies. Tenders on Calcutta and Madras at is. 1141., will receive about 43 per cent., and on Bombay at is. 111 d. in full. Ah.,ve thew rates in full. These results show a further increase in the demand for remittance to the East. The London and North Western Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 2,3&41. over last year, and the Midland, an increase of 2,9311. . . . . The receipts of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada for the week ending the 15th ult. were 28,6061. sterling, being 2,2541. less than in the corresponding week of last year. Mr. J. E. Coleman, the liquidator of the Yank of London, has given notice that " all acceptances of the Bank of London to the drafts of the Bom bay City Bank will be paid in full, with interest at the rate of 6 per cent, per annum, on Wednes day, the 17th inst." The subjoined report on the market for Ame rican securities is from the circular of Messrs. Satterthwaite and Co. : During the latter part of last week the London market for American securities was very inactive, owing to the break in telegraphic communication with America. For the last three days, however, there has been a very large business transacted. roiled States 5-20 Bonds, on higher i exchange, have declined during the week nearly 2 dels., but even at present quotations e 9 to 70, the price here is about 1 per cent. above New York. Illinois shares have been neglected, but show no alteration in price. In Eries the transactions have been very numerous ; the rapid the reported by telegraph from New York, cuing to the desire to get possession of the stock to secure vo.es at the forth coming election for directors, having led to considerable buying on this side for shipment. The latest quotation is 51 to about 4 per cent. higher than this day week. The business in Atlantic and Great Western securities has been on a more limited scale, and the recent rise having brought in sellers to realise profits, we have to note a decline in debentures to 6.'i to tB, and in consolidated bonds to 40i to 47. The demand for permanent investment, however, is steady at these quotations. _ _ _ The rate of insurance upon the ship General Grant, which has now been at sea 152 days from Melbourne, with 10,500/. in gold, has advanced at Lloyd's to 60 guineas. With reference to the affairs of Overend, Gur ney, and Company (Limited), we have received the following letter from the chairman of the defence committee : TO THE EDITOR OF TUN IMPRESS. Sir,—Vice-Chancellor Stuart, as your readers are already aware, has suspended the enforcement of the call to the 3rd of November, so that the question with respect to lia bility may then be argued. As a whole, this result, be sides its immediate and intrinsic value, so far tends to justify our grounds of resistance, as connected with actual disclosures ; and we cannot but augur favourably as to contingent discoveries from the persistent combination of the creditors and liquidators to prevent, and inter opt, and embarrass our investigation of the real stint of affairs. While we thus have reason to congratulate our constitu ents on such a measure of success, we :og to address a few words to those numerous shareholders who, though wishing us well and watching our doings with interest, have not yet joined the Defence Association. Those gentle men, so far as our conflict with the liquidators is con cerned, may reap, if not the moral credit of the issue, at I least its material advantages. With regard, however, to proceedings against directors, they will clearly stand on a different footiug. In that matter those alone who may bear the burden can appreciate the benefit, but beyond such a consideration, we boldly appeal to them, as lovers of truth and justice, to embrace the privilege of their otherwise unfortunate position to vindicate, along with us as their fellow-sufferer, against the authors of their and our calamity.—l am, ace, THE CHAIRMAN Or THE DEFMCE COMMITTEE. 39, King-street, Cheapaide, Oct 3. WEDNESDAY EVE ERA Consols, which closed yesterday at 89t) to 4, for next Tuesday's settlement, opened this morn ing at the same quotation, and closed at 891, " buyers."

Stock, 105, 41 ; ditto Four per Cent., 925. Indian government securities remain steady. Exchequer Bills were unaltered at 2s. dis. to 3s. prem. The tendency of the foreign stock market was unfavourable, but the movements in prices were not numerous, in the absence of business. Turkish Bonds of 1865 were pressed far sale, and gave way to the extent of b per cent. Italian of 1861 also declined and Spanish Passive, the Committee's Certificates, and Mexican, I. Chili= Six per Cents. and Egyptian Railway Debentures, however, were inquired for, and ruse 1 per cent.

GRAND REVIEW or TROOPS AT DOVER.—A re view of troops on a much grander scale than has ever be• fore been attempted in the neighbourhood of this garrison took place yesterday, at a point between Dover and Shorn cliffe, in presence of his royal highness the commander in-chief and a brilliant staff. For some years past there has been annually a field-day of the Dover and Shomcliffe garrisons somewhere midway between Folkestone and Dover, the commander-in-chid visiting Dover for the pur pose of making the inspection. On the last occasion of much a display taking place, the Duke of Cambridge ex pressed his opinion that 'the'review m gist another year be with advantage so extended as to embrace also the troops forming the Wahner Depot Battalion, and the meshy %metered is the neighbouring city of Ciusterburz, and yes terday this suggestion was carried out with the utmost zd a success. tie lib 111 fo [GEN CE 100 100 100 100 - 1161 16 521 3 21 124 3L 821 191 171 118 171 ir 4 4 4 127 f 8 1-Mi 654 11 1021 31 xd MINE&-(THIS DAY.)

MUItDER IN BIRMINGHAM. —Yesterday at the Birmingham police-court Thomas Grayley and Catherine Grayley, man and wife, were brought up charged with the murder of William Francis Sullivan under the following shocking circumstances :—On the 29th of September there was a riot in Chapel-street, at which the deceased inter fered to separate the Grayleys from the parties with whose they were fighting. The male prisoner turned savagely upon Sullivan, and smashed in his skull with a poker, and while he was lying senseless on the ground the female prisoner seized a brick, and tieing over to the deceased commenced to beat his head into a pulp. She was tarsi away, but the unfortunate man, on being removed to the hospital. died. The prisoners were then arrested, but the male prisoner denied having struck deceased. The female prisoner said, " I know I beat some one's head with a brick, but whose I don't know." They were committed for trial at the assizes for wilful murder. THE FLOODS IN FRANCE.—The flood of waters in the Loire, after gradually disappearing from all the higher parts of the river, has now reached &Inner sad Nantes, in its progress towards the sea. In the former town tile 1113IiMUM was attained during the afternoon of the Ist, and since that time the waters have been subsiding. The embankments there remained intac d r i l little lower down the rise was more serious, and owe muuicationa by railway between Angers end Nantes had to be suspended from Varadea to Anetz. There is even a danger of the line being cut at that point. At Nantee, on the evening of the 2nd, the Loire had almost attained the height reached in 1856, and was still swelling slowly. The low streets in the city were submerged, and the country around the city was inundated for a disteeee of four miles. The inhabitants of those districts being warned in time had abandoned their homes. A letter fres Perpignan of the 2nd announces that the Agit has over- Sowed its banks ; the vineyards of ltivesaltes and a }emu Lion of the plain of Salanque are inundated. at Ws As OA idol ge 4 le 600, DIA Wi g , role ' do rt ;Obi SO& b 4 c▪ w pi° D ▪ 09 IA •• t NO W BO W 116 L 111.1 0 0 100,000 193.000 1.000,000 930.000 930400 100,000 100,000 10400 0 100.000 1.135,8001 3,671,8001 160,0001 1,000,000 280,0001 1,850,2091 751,e001 533,0000001 7,000,1 Tel 881 - 80
