GREENWICH. AN OPFER OP MARRIAGR REFUSIU IN A POLICE COURT. Homy Smith, of 3, Webb's-cottages, 'Bennett street, Greenwich, Appeared to a summotts to show cause why an order should not be made upon him to contribute towa l a the maintenance of the Illegitimate child of Jane Starkey, of 13, East-street, Greenwich. The defendant, when the case was called on, admitted of the child, but said he had an objection the paternity to the imtgistrate nuking an order upon him for its sup port. (Laughter.) /dr trill said that as the defendant admitted himself to be the father of the child it became necessary that he should make the order, o herwise, if the mother were to the parish would have to support the child. The defendant—ltut my objection is that no such order as I now offer to marry the complainant. is ( Mr. Traill—lf you marry the complainant, of course you will have to support the child ; but what does the coin idainant say to accepting your o ff er of marriage (Renewed l a ughter.) Th e c omplainant—Well, sir, I cannot consent to be married to him. Ho has grossly illused me since the birth of the chit t, and I'm sure a married life with us would oukr be unhappiness. The defendant denied ill-using the complainant, and asked whether he had no remedy against her for goods she had taken away belonging to him. Mr. Total said he must seek his reutedyin another court. All he had to do was to see that the child did not become s burden to the parish, and an order would be made upon defendant for payment of 2s. Cl. per week, and the costs. FATAL ACCIDENTS IN THE RECENT FOG. INQUEST.—(THIS DAY.) This forenoon Mr. Richards, deputy coroner, held an inquest at the Mitford Arms Tavern, Hackney wick, touching the death of Mr. Josiah Gleason, aged 49, who lest his life through the fog on last Wednesday even- N. J. Glaseon, 56, Frances-terrace, Victoria-park, said that the deceased was an iron barge builder and boiler sager. Witness last saw him alive on Wednesday even iaif between 5 and 6 o'clock. He was quite sober and in good health. It appeared that on the evening in question a dense fog Tendered it very difficult to see even the distance of a few feet. The deceased went out to make some arrangements with regard to the completion or launching of a screw barge, and while going along the banks of the Sir George Duckett's Canal, he, without doubt, walked into the water near the lower luck. The next morning his body was found in the canal. The jury returned a verdict of " Found drowned in the Sir George Duckett's Canal." Two other fatal accidents of similar character are re ported to have taken place during the fog of Wednes day last. WILAORDINARY CASE IN FINSBURY.-SEDUC TION AND ITS CONSEQUENCES. Mr. Richards, deputy-coroner, held an inquiry st the City of London Union-home ast evening touching the death of the illegitimate male child of a young woman tamed Rhoda Dash, who was confined on the shop floor of Mr. Schacht, at No. 6, Finsbury-place, under the fol lowing circumstances. Mrs. Typhena Goodenough, superintendent of the in &Mari of the City of London Union, said that in con sequence of • telegram received on Monday last at a to 3 o'clock a cab was despatched to No. 6, Finsbury =and It returned at a quarter to 5 with a young wo man named Rhoda Dash, who stated her age to be 16, and a baby wrapped in wool and flannel. The child was quite dead ; the mouth was filled with blood, and there were bruises on the body. The mother said that the child never cried. She stated afterwards that she lived with sister at an address (which she gave) in Chelsea, and she said that basing gone to Anerloy tea-gardens with • gentleman, who was in business in the City, she was seduced. She now stated that she was 18 years old. Dr. A. Basch, 7, Smith-street, Finsbury, said that on last Monday, at a quarter to 2 o'clock, he was called into the shop of Mr. Schacht, chemist, at No. 6, Finsbury place, and there he found Rhoda Dash on the floor. The child was just born and was alive. It appeared that the young woman had conic into the shop for some medi cine, as she felt ill and was then and there taken in la bour. While the child was being born, she denied being in the family way ; oho said that she had no knowledge of anything of the sort. She told witness that she was 18, but be said that he did not believe her, for she only looked 11. Afterwards, however, she showed that she was 18. She and the child lay on the floor for two hours. Witness did what he could for her, but there was no proper place to which to send her. He asked the police, but they said they could not interfere, unless she was turned out of the shop, then they would take her up, and remove her to the station. At length he wrote to the parish functionaries, and a telegram was sent to the workhouse in the Bow road, stating that the life of the young woman, as well as that of the child, were " in instant danger if not removed, to some proper place." About a quarter to 4 o'clock a cab came, and they were removed to the workhouse. The child was then dead an hour. It died from syncope from wait of power. It was not a full-timed child, and it might not have lived in any event, but of course the cold of the shop must have dimi nished its chances. The bruises mentioned by the first witness were caused accidentally. Mr. Schacht, the chemist, did what he could, and so did witness, but, of course ' a chemist's shop was not adapted for such an un expected event. In witness's opinion there ought to be some place to which, in cases of emergency like the pre. sent, a woman could be promptly removed. The Coroner, having summed up, told the jury that they had nothing to do with any question of concealment of birth (if such there could be said to have beau) that might hereinafter arise, The jury returned a verdict " That the deceased child died, in a certain shop, from the mortal effects of syncope, caused by want of power." St. Andrew's Convalescent Hospital, at Clcwer, near Windier, was opened yesterday by the Bishop of Ozford. _ His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, presi dent, will preach in behalf of the Royal Asylum of St. Ann's Society, at Beffilington Church, on Sunday, 9th inst. THE REPRESENTATION OF ARMAGH.—There is to be, if there is not already, a vacancy in the representation of Armagh. Mr. Stearns Ball Miller, after having once or twice had his claims passed over by his friends. is, it seems, now to have a judicial appointment. Such a rich harvest of official promotion as has recently fallen to the Tory lawyers to reap is almost anprecedented. For many years they have been waiting and waiting almost in despair, seeing their liberal rivals promoted over their heads, and hungerin.c after what others were per mitted to enjoy. It pleased, however, Mr. Gladstone and his colleagues to resign, and Lord Derby to accept office, expressly, as he said, to give his supporters an opportu nity of enjoying the honours and emoluments of which they had so long been deprived by the unkind fates. —Northern Whi9. PRESIDENT JOHNSON AND THE CONGRESS.—If - the President will consent to retrace his steps a little, and totake counsel of the convictions he claimed before his unfortunate rupture with Congress, it will not be difficult for him to present a plan which will command the respect —we believe also the sanction—of the great majority of the American people. Ho has in other circumstances de finitely committed himself to impartial suffrage, sad to the revision of the bases of representation and taxation. Why not renew propositions which in divers shapes he has, at one time or another, authorita tively made? A plan embracing qualified negro suffrage, with intelligence or property as the test to be applied — federal representation based on voters—federal taxation based on property—the extinction of the rebel debt—the inviolability of the union debt, and whatever mea sures may be necessary to secure to the freedmen the full fruits of emancipation—would be a substitute which Andrew Johnson slight offer with perfect consistency, and with a certainty of securing friendly consideration in both sections. To these features might be added a qualified amnesty, limiting the disabilities imposed by the third section of the present amendment to the small class of Southern politicians who were the actual, official, anti recognised promoters of the rebellion. Such aplan presented by the President in his coming nice /age would do mach toward softening prevailing asperi ties, and favourably influencing the temper and action of Congress. It would he a wise and not ungraceful recogni tion of the determination avowed by the people of the North, and an ultimatum which he might with propriety urge upon the people of the South.—. New York Tines, Nov. 19. ••• A CLERICAL COMPROMISE.—We remember wel (we are really not drawing from our imagination for our has) a clergyman of the strongest evangelical views who was very fond of shooting—and an excellent shot he was. It seemed to have been borne in upon him l-y some ob liquity of conscience, not uncommon in a narrow-minded school, that the sinfulness of such pursuits lay not in the act but in the costume ; so, instead of the ordinary shoot log -coat and gaiters, he took the field in solemn state in a full-dress black suit, low shoes and white stockings, and a white tie with very long ends—for all the world as if he were going to preach to the birds instead of to shoot them. To see that black swallow-tail go through a brambly cover (for the country was wild, and the chief sport it afforded was cock-shooting) was, 1%/1 our American friend would say, " a caution." The sepulchral tones in which he gave the warning, " Down charge, l'onto-o ring in our ears at this moment, though it is long years since we heard him. But stranger still was the defensive argument of his church warden—a solemn farmer who sometimes beat for him,and shared his theological views. There had been some un charitable scandal raised against two or three younger brethren of the cloth who had set up a cricket-club in the neighbourhood. Amongst those who were shocked by it was this same churchwarden ; and when the question was put to him, in what respect a cricket-bat was a lees saintly weapon than the gun which his own particular parson earned, his answer was, " Ah ! but you see there's some purpose in the shooting !" An occasional hare had no doubt found its way to his flesh-pots when the day's walk was over ; and if the results of cricket could have been in any such way utilised, it would plainly have removed his objealion.—Blockwooci's Magazine for Deoember. )BeL eg e ; •""" 3 00 01 . °1 0 , 04010 il a. 4 " 11 , !duo 1° '" e s bi n , 01 :ernhat I Oa e , Ile reesisa. oe rag. of Salt/ tioull"ty . it d if boo b c : osior so ot i r vi v Utio keedueets)olll OP° itt xi "▪ OA Lee. a w .

THE WUEKJYG MEN'S PROCESSION ON MuNDAY. The Times admits to its correspondence columns a series of alarmist letters respecting the procession on Monday. "E. T.," who lives in the neighbourh .a of Beau fort House, shudders, as he thinks of the consequences to the poor misguided and innocent men. There is every prospect, he says, of something dreadful coming to pass. In the sight now proposed " certain death seems to me to await numbers of innocent men who will be led to death to satisfy the vanity of a few, • who know not what they are doing,' but who can make no recompense to those who will have lost their lives, through the vanity and ignorance of their self-constituted leaders." Another correspondent, " May-fair," assures " Marshal" Potter,that if 200,000 men leave St. James's-park in proe,es sionat noon they will notarrive on the grounds of Beaufort House before midnight. As a householder, he adds, "I shall aid in keeping the peace, as far as in me lies, by strictly forbidding my family and servants to leave the house during Monday." Another corespondent who assumes an arithmetical signature computes that a procession of 230,51 v men would reach 30 miles six abreast, and so the SI last rank will leave St. James's Park in just ten hours : I from the starting of the first rank,lwhich will be four hours and a half after the breaking up of the meeting at Beau fort House. 11_ An " Ex-Solder" says that a line eight abreast of 100 200,000 men, at marching distance, would reach eighteen miles, and allowing that they marched two miles an hour, et. the last section would not move off until nine hours after fr ,„ the first had started. In his opinion 20,000 men would be sufficient to fill the Mall in St. James's-park. An Si " Old Staff Officer of the Indian Army" has been 4 . ' entering into a variety of calculations which St. bring to the result that it would take 200,000 rs. . men nearly fifteen hours to pass through Marlborough- et, gate in ranks of air abreast. Should the advance reach its destination in two hours, the rear could not arrive for 20 hours. BR Masers. Myers and Son, the builders, of Lambeth, state r t. . that their works will be open as usual on Monday. at. The Tones urges upon the marshals of the procession t . that if they are resolved on a preliminary gathering in et. St. James's Park, instead of ordering the processions to march to Beaufort House at once by various routes from Z o their various quarters of the metropolis, at any rate " let IA them not persist in marching their whole army of working SR men through the narrow defile of Marlborough-gate, e and then losing their time by parading Pall-mall and Piccadilly. There are two roads which lead with sg, comparative directness to Brampton. One is by Constitu - St. tion-hill and Knightsbridge, the other by Buckingham- r' s gate, Pimlico, and Chelsea. Why should not both three Si. be utilised? By such an expedient not only would the :t4 crowding and confusion be diminished by the separation of te the artisans into two processions, but the distance would 15 . c be materially diminished, and the conclusion of the pro ceedings at a reasonable hour rendered less impossible." LONDON BANK OP SCOTLAND (LIMITED). (THIS DAY.) An extraordinary general meeting of this corn yt - pany was held this afternoon at the London Tavern ; Mr. g' SCARAMANGA, one of the liquidators, in the chair. Rt. The following report and accounts were presented : le " The liquidators beg to submit to the shareholders the following report, accompanied by a statement of the coin pany's affairs up to the present tome. In conformity with the resolution of the shareholders, the liquidators have completed the amalgamation with the Mercantile aud Exchange Bank. It was impossible for them to have foreiwen the depreciation which the shares of that bunk have suffered, and by which the shareholders in the London Bank of Scotland have experienced great losses. According to the original arrangement with the directors of the Mercantile and Exchange Bank, it was agreed that the shareholders in this bank should take 10,000 shares with 10/. paid, and an additional 10,000 shares with 5!. paid, but the liquidators, con,eivieg it desirable to modify this arrangement , succeeded, after much labour, in obtaining a release from that part of the agreement which bound them to take the latter 10,000 shares , with 5/. paid. These shares were to have been exchanged h. for those of the second issue of the London Bank of la Scotland, but by virtue of this arrangement, the holders 100 of the second issue of shares will be only liable 100 to such proportion of loss attending the dation as shall be excess of 10/. per share, the holders of original shares having received Mercantile and Exchange Bank shares to that amount, out 10 of the 13/. paid for those held in this bank. It is unne- 2 0 cessary to point out that this arrangement has benetitted , 2 ° the holders of the new shares in this bank to it great ' 6 l` . degree. The arrangement made with the London and it, Scottish Bank to take off the business of the branches, we WAS a very beneficial one, but owing to that bank WS having been compelled to suspend payment, there 1 00 has been a protracted delay in the settlement of I °°,,, the affairs, and there may be possibly Rome loss 4',,! arise to the shareholders of this bank ; but the liquidators at. have no doubt that such loss will be much less than would at. have been if they had liquidated the branches 20 themselves. Thee() are still some assets belonging to 20 the bank which have yet to be realised, the most 1 . ; „,...,°° important being the Lombard-street property, which " is now of much greater value than when it was at purchased by the Bank, inasmuch as a title has been ob- at tamed to a lease of sixty years, dating from Midsummer, 20 1864. This property has been submitted to a sale by public 1 4. auction, but the liquidators have not been able 32 . to obtain a purchaser at a price which they consider adequate ; nevertheless, they attribute this to the unusual absence of speculation in this class of pro- Ni party, and they still hope that before long they may re- ea ceive a substantial offer for it. It will be observed by the to annexed statement of account that the actual deficiency 40 up to the present time amounts to 73,441/. 4s. 5d., which 1 00 is about 10,000/. in excess of the amount the liquidators ~,11 anticipated would have been the result, as stated at the ri last meeting of the shareholders, and they attribute 10 this excess to the great depreciation in the value of the Is securities then held by the bank, and the small divi- 19 Bends realised on bankrupts' estates : to this sum must be added 5,000/., being the estimated loss on the : 1 4 settlement of accounts with the London and Scottish Bank. 1( The holders of new shares who have paid the second call of 5!., are legally entitled to have that amount returned to them with interest, and the liability under this head is about 22,500!., which, with some outstanding claims against the company, estimated to be about 8,0001., makes the total sum to be provided by the liquidators, in order to meet immediate demands, upwards of 30,000/. It is im possible to say what amount will eventually be obtained for the Lombard-street property, but should it realise its full value, the present additional loss to the shareholders will be materially reduced. In the meantime the liqui dators have thought it prudent to estimate the sum to be I received front this source at its original cost to them, namely, 14,000/. This, with other assets yet to be realised, taken as worth 4,000/., will leave a de ficiency to be provided for of rather more than 12,000/. The liquidation of the company's affairs is now approach ing a termination, and the liquidators only regret they cannot lay a wore satisfactory statenteut before the share holders." " General Balance-sheet, Nov. 15, 1860.-Dr.: To capital paid on 10,000 shares, at 13/. per share, 129,885/. ; 1 to capital paid on first instalment of 5/. per share on new issue. 44,580!. ; to capital paid on second I instalment of 5/. per share, 19,250/., making 193,745/. ; to premium of 41. per share on new issue, 39,132/. ; to discounts, interest, end commission received fom customers, 22,4807. 13s. ;to outstand ing liabilities, 3,523/. 7s. 2d.

The CHAIRMAN regretted that they could not make a more favourable report, but the difference in the estimates arose in consequence of several of the assets which had been calculated upon having failed to produce anything. This ha 1 lost them about 10,000/. to 15,000/., and beyond this they were unable at present to dispose advantageously of the Lombard-street premises. They now required 30,000/. which would have to be met by a call upon the old shareholders in the first instance, and next upon the new shareholders. In the course of the discussion which ensued the CHAIR MAN stated that the old shareholders would have to pay 2/. a share before the new shareholders were called upon, but in the event of a call of 3/. being made the new share holders who had not paid the second call would have to pay 1/., and the call would be written off the 5/., the amount of the second call, in the case of the new share holders who had paid it. tad I REGULATIONS OF CATTLE SHOWS AT MARKETS. — We again repeat, for the information of fanners and graziers, that animals that come to a market under a store stock license, and are subject to the rules of the market, remaining there onlyfor the market-day, although exhibited for prizes, can leave that market with a market pass in the same way as other animals, and need not be slaughtered in the place.—Surrey Standard.

MONEY M. 'HIS DAY.) Os' o'CLon. There is very little demand to-dayfor Ftocks,and the tendency of the varions markets isdnll. The pub- lie still evince a disposition to effect sales of most securities, and invest the proceeds of such transac tions in foreign and colonial loans, the supply of which is accordingly expected to be large during the next few weeks. The funds are offered, and have declined per cent. for money. Some of the foreign bonds are slightly lower, but the principal British railway stocks are quoted the same as yesterday, in the absence of business. Financial shares are heavy, and a fresh reduction is observable in International Financial and London Financial. _ . The Stock Exchange settlement being over, the money market is quieter to-day, with a larger sup ply offering. The rate for choice bills, however, is maintained at 3i to 4 per cent.

It is stated that Mr. John Horatio Lloyd, the barrister, has given an opinion in favour of the claims of the bondholders, and that he is now preparing a memo rial to the United States government on the subject. The particulars are published of numerous bonds of the Ismael Pasha Loan which were drawn at the offices of the Anglo-Egyptian Bank (Limited) on the 27th ult., for payment at par on the Bth Jan. next. They represent in all 67,9201. About 33,000/. in gold was bought by the Bank yesterday, while 5,0001. was withdrawn for Alexan dria. There is little or no demand for bullion for the continent.

The Crown Agents for the Colonies invite com petitive tenders for 250,0001. of New Zealand Government Debentures, for Friday, the 7th December. The money is stated to be chiefly re quired for paying off short-dated Treasury Bills, which were issued in London in 1865, in anticipa tion of this loan, and the sum now to be raised will not have the effect of withdrawing much capital from this country. The stimulus given to the gold discoveries, the resolute curtailment of public expenditure, and the levying of additional taxes, have together contributed to produce a prospective equilibrium between the ordinary income and expenditure for the year ending 30th June, 1867. The application made yesterday to the Chief Clerk in Vice-Chancellor Kindersley's court, on the part of Mr. Charles Oppenheim,that the money now in the hands of the liquidators of Overend, Gurney, and Co., amounting to 1,200,0001., should be divided amongst the creditors, was ordered to stand over until the Bth December, for the decision of the Vice-Chancellor. The solicitor to the Defence Association was present to oppose any division until after the pending motions respecting liability shall have been disposed of, as, in the event of the shareholders being successful, they would not only claim the amount paid in respect of the 101. call, but also nearly 1,500,0001. paid in respect of their shares. It transpired during the argument that' the claims of creditors to the extent of over 1,000,0001., in respect of guarantees, are disputed, and from this it would appear that the liquidation of the company, through its intimate connection with the acts of some of the partners of the old I firm, is likely to be involved in very serious litiga tion. The members of the Defence Association have, through the advice of the committee, de cided upon paying their money into Chancery, and have remitted the funds for that purpose. The Caledonian Railway traffic return shows his week a decrease of 358 /. compared with last year. At the meeting yesterday of the shareholders of the Anglo-Egyptian Bank the directors' report, which has already been published, was unanimously adopted, and the procee dings generally passed off ve ry satisfactorily. The chairman, Mr. A. Devaux, spoke very hopefully of the fu ture prospects of the business, and remarked that the proprietors will shortly be called together to consider a plan for t h e re construction of the concern, involving a re duction of the liability on the shares. The meeting of the Trust and Loan Company of tipper Canada took place yesterday. The available balance amounted to 12,2241., and a dividend was declared at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum. 2,9631, is also to be added to the reserve fund, 2501. written off the preliminary expenses, and 2601. carried forward. At the meeting of Smith, Knight, and Co. (Limited), held yesterday, the resolutions for the voluntary winding up of the undertaking, and the appointment of liquidators, were confirmed. At a meeting yesterday of shareholders of the Natal Investment Company (Limited), with a sub scribed capital of 250,0001., it was decided that the company shall be wound up voluntarily, and Mr. G. Langley, of Southampton, and Mr. F. W. Engel bach, of the firm of Engelbach and Salomon, accountants, were unanimously appointed joint liquidators. 'Messrs. J.
