The directors were glad to be in a poeition to express their distinct conviction that no farther call will be dosses', ; the resources in hand being amply euMetent, not only to meet every liability, bat to carry on the business of the bank in ordi nary course. (treat as is the dliqintment resulting from the operations of the bank d the last sightems months, the board looked forward wi hope to be able to make to the proprietors at their next meeting a more satis factory report.

The CH Amman, in moving the adoption of the report and &mound, expressed the pain and regret of the directors at having to Freepost such a report. They had. however, the satisfaction of having done their duty, and of beam* that had their instructions been followed the losses would not have occurred. The account cep dad to the report showed • liability of 3,00%0001. As his ba d before stated, all their socionnta had presented moth larger debt to the public than was really dwkin consequence of trent The of double entries on which the account. were actual liability to the public was on the 30th June 1,600,0001., and on the Ist Nov., the latest date up to which the accounts were made up, itirsal ,300,000/., wh il e diseased amounted to about 2,000,0001. Had any other manager incurred the lofted at Pernambuco, he would have been sent about his business ; but he was • moat valuable officer. This was the first time he bad disobeyed orders, and he had sent an explanation whic h be (the cha irman) considered not inadmissible. (" Oh, oh.") Well, such was the opinion of the directors, and it was founded on foots. He wished all the other officers had acted in • similar manner. (Laughter.) He was glad the shareholders could bear their lose with such good humour. (laughter.) It wasimpossible always to avoidloss,and the losses incurred on India cotton far exceeded their own. (Hear, hear.) As regarded the expenses, he maintained that the bank was ma naged most 000nomiaally ; and as to the sal aries in South America, the difficulty bad been when vacancies arose to find suitable perms to fill them at she old salaries. The year's business from the 30th Jam, 1866. to 30th June, 18ar , had stood a charge for loss on exchange and by the war in Brazil of 54,0001. ; making, wi th the 11,000/. net earnings, a gross profit of 65,0001. for the year. That justified them in anticipating • bette r though there was no immediate prospect of a div r lrwt He feared that the losses would amount altogether to 50,000/. The locks-up amounted to four or five hundred thousand pounds. The board had dated the loam at the worst. In reply to a question, The CHAIR/IAS said it would perhaps take two or three years to realise the securities. One if the amounts was 170,0001., and another 70,0001. The directors, he added, being actuated only by one desire, namely, to place the bank in the position it ought to occupy. had endeavoured to obtain, as a colleague, • gentleman who wa s well acq uainted with Rio, and if that gentleman came to reside near London he would probably become a director. In conclusion, he declared that he could not continue chairman without the confidence of the shareholders, which be had doe and would continue to do his best tomer% and thatnothi n ng but • derangement of the credit of the bank through imprudence on the part of the directors or of the shareholders could necessitate a call. Mr. A. Knerara believed that the bank was by no means in a hopeless position. (Hear, beer.) He had full confi dence in the board, but what had occurred illustrated the risks of foreign banking even under the best direc tors. He did not agree with the chairman that it was desirable to retain as manager • gentleman whom past conduct had caused so much loss. lie objected to the pro p:teed reduction of the nominal amount of the shares; but if such an arrangement were made it would in his opinion be well to write off the losses incurred in the amount to be credited on the shares, especially as a non-dividend paying bank could not be expected to occupy • good pad Lion in public estimation. The CHAIRMAN said the reduction was proposed in °sm. plianos with suggestions made by the proprietors at former meetings. Mr. Kintrea's ingestion as regarded the amount to be credited on the dame, though good in itself, was impracticable. It could not be carried out with out a fresh concession and the consent of every creditor, and these they were not likely to obtain. Mr. A. Hord hoped the scheme of the directors with regard to the shares would be sanctioned. The bank would then stand In • muck better podded He was by no means disposed to despair in regard to the future, especially ma 30,0001. of the losses was already written off. He had entire owifidenos in the beard, and believed it was perfectly competent to restore the bank.

Caledonian Railway stock was in very active demand at the commencement of business, and rose to 77 to 78, being 4 per cent. higher than on Satur day. A reaction has since taken place, yet the pre sent price is 2} per cent. better. In consideration of the great financial errors of the past, and the generally unfavourable character of the' report of the committee of investigation, there has been little or no bogie fide demand for the stock, the advance having been almost exclusively caused by purchases to close speculative accounts.

It appeared that the prisoner looliabited with this woman, and the only reason he gave for committing the murder was that he was in great dia -1 tress and did not know what to do. There was a charge of some importance against a person named Bristow, for ' Intimidating a witness. No actual bodily Tedesco had been committed, but there was what in the eye of the law constituted an assault, and if the facts were proved as I stated in the depositiotur it would be the duty of the grand I jury to Teem a true bill.

I Sir Barcitcy Gideon Culling medley was placed at the bar to take his trial for feloniously contrasting marriage at the district *handl of St. George, Hanoverequare, after I having been married in New York, in the United States of America. Mr . Montag - a Williams made an applisatioa to postpone the trial on the ground that inquiries were being insti tuted in the city of New York with a view to amertain ' the state of the laws of the United States at the time the first marriage was contracted, and sufficient time had not been afforded to obtain the necessary information upon the subject. Mr. Gifford, Q.C., who was specially retained to conduct the prosecution, opposed the application, on the ground that postponements of this kind frequently led to a defeat of justice. The Recorder said that was not likely to occur in the present case, as the prisoner was in custody, and he con sidered that under the ciruanstances the trial ought to be postponed to the next session. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS• (THIS DAY.) The January quarter melons of the pease for the county el Middlesex commenced this morning at the Besides Hoene. Clerkenwell-gresn, before Mr. Joseph Payne, depaty-esistant judge (in the absence of Sir W. Bodkin, emistant-judge), and the following magistrates :—Mr. H. H. Harwood, Mr. W. E. Cox., Mr. H. Pownall (chairman), Mr. Kemaheed, Dr. Jervis, Mr. Roberts, Mr. B. Sharp, Captain Morley, Mr. A. A. Croll, Mr. W. P. Bodkin, and Mr. T. B. Bates, Ire. The calendar is very heavy, there being 136 prisoners committed for trial ;be 124 indicted for felony and 12 for misdemeanor. There ere several additional oases in which the accused are admitted to bell, conse quently their names do not appear on the calendar. The offences with which the prisoners stand charged oonsist of obtaining money on false pretences, robberies from the person, robberies by servants from their masters, em bezzlement, receiving goods knowing them to have been stolen, breaking and entering dwelling-houses, assaults on the police whilst engaged in the execution of their duty, indecent amanita, and several minor offences. The grand jury having been sworn by Mr. Rtimbelow, the officer of the court, Mr. Payne briefly addressed them, and said be regretted that in consequence of an accident which occurred on Saturday night last, the Assistant Judge was unable to occupy his usual place and deliver the customary address to the grand jury. The cares, however, which would be brought before them were of the ordinary character, and would require no explanation from him, and as the late outrage at the House of Detention had already been commented upon by the Assistant-Judge that would re quire no special observation from him (Mr. Payne) on the present occasion. After a few word. on the nature of their duties the grand jury retired to their room. When the names of those summoned to serve on the grand jury were called over it was found that two gentle men were barristers in actual practice, and consequently exempt by act of parliament from serving as jurors, and they complained of the inconvenience and annoyance of being summoned. Several other persona claimed eseuip , Lion. Mr. Payne remarked upon the very slovenly way in which the list was made out. In one case a gentleman connected with the Mint claimed exemption from serving on the grand jury, and said that he held his appointment under the Treasury. Mr. Payne said that was no legal excuae for not serving, and that he must serve next sessions. TUN POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. OUTILIONOUS CONDUCT BY A FILEICHNAN. Alphonse Denbisigoe, • French clerk, residing at No. 19, Whitcomb-street, was charged before Mr. Tyrwbitt with assaulting Mary and Elizabeth Hopkins, mother and daughter, residing in Phenix-street, Soho. Elizabeth Hopkins, a respectable-looking young woman, • servant out of place, and residing with her parents, said--On Saturday evening about 7 o'awck I was walking along Compton-street, when the prisoner came up and caught hold of nits. and used very insulting language to me.

At this moraines meeting Mr. John Finch rirodt, end en address wee delivered by the Bishop of d He said that having been engaged for a long series of years in preaching the Gospel in the (meets of the far Weat, he felt it difiloult to address an English aessenbly, but when he re membered what he had seen dating 36 years of satire missionary life—bow the Gospel bad raised the savage Indian from his low estate, how it bad comforted the sable sons of A him who bad fled from slavery in the Southern States of America, he took courage. Speaking of sin, he expressed his opinion that nothing could be ooni“ered • national sin except it was sanctioned by the legislature or the constituted authotlties of the country. Viewed in this light he held that the great sin of England was, that as • nation, from its high protestant and high Scriptural teaching it bad given way, for reasons of expediency, to systems which are not according to God's word and the truth as revealed in the Gospel. England was no longer • protestant nation, because it no longer protested against the idolatries and superstitions of the church of Rome and he regretted to find the national church appeared inclined to follow the ungodly example of the legislature, for there were many in it who hesitated not to declare their anxiety to unprotes- Unties the church of England, and to amimilate it to the church of Rome. Dr. Davis, the Rev. T. Nolan, imam bent of Regent-sguare Church, and other gentlemen spoke, and some devotional exercises followed. The Cambridge lndepensient says :—" There seems to be but one opinion in the university as to the probable senior wrangler ; his name is on every one's lips ; and we do not think we shall damp the ardour, or in the least way hurt the feelings of the fortunate second wrangler by re peating it. Mr. Moulton, of St. John's, is the gentleman we allude to, and according to all accounts he is rather above the average of his year ; we fear, however, that the test of being • member of the church of England will in terfere with his chance of a fellowaFp, and his name, with many others, w ill stand recorded in university annals un distinguished by the familiar asterisk denoting fellowship. This ought not to be, and all liberal-minded persons must regret that it is so; but we trust the year is not far distant when this narrow-minded restriction will be numbered &Aeons the thinp of the part." In relation to the statements lately made that the Metropolitan Railway intend to abandon the eastern extension from Moorgate-street to Wormwood-street, "One of the Inhabitants" asks that if this be the case, " would it not be right for the company to withdraw forthwith the six months' notices to quit served upon the inhabitants at Midsummer, 1864 r As the company re pudiate all liability for damage dons to those who, acting , upon the notices, provided themselves with other pre. mimes, immediate attention to this point is imperatively requisite. For two and a half years, it is said, these notices have been held over the district, "acting as a ban to all necessary changes and improvements, ruining trade, and presenting the sad spectacle of empty, dilapidated houses." On the afternoon of December 18 a terrible accident took place on the Lake Shore Railroad, running along the bank of Lake Erie from Buffalo to Cleveland, Ohio. A defective rail, while a pesseager train was run ning at high speed, threw two carriages off the track, and they rolled down an embankment of 40ft. The stoves being upset set fire to the carriages, and the doors being locked the passengers could not escape.. Forty-one per sons were burnt to death, 20 of them being mu mutilated as to be unrecogniesble. In proof of the steadiness of the commercial interests of the United Kingdom, notwithstanding all the disasters of the past two years, it is remarked that there has Reply been an instance when fewer failures were recorded, either in the metropolis or the provinces, at the end of • twelvemonth than on the present amount BIREBECIC LITERARY •ND Scisertric INETITU TION, NOUTHAMPTOWBUI WINGS. —The 176th quarterly re port of this long-established institution was recently pre sented to the members.

On Friday, Iteoe w h e w 13, I was in Corporation l- -lane ; I was going iovanls Little Woodbridge-street. After I turned the fennel of Corporation-lane, I noticed what appeared to es. tube a large faggot, covered over with something that I ~,aid not tell. It was close to the wall. I saw one man o , o ding close to the barrel, sad two little boys close to the n.le of it. There were two men steadies on the opposite ink of the way. The boys seemed to be about nine and twelve years old. One of the two men standing at the earner N th e court stepped forward and threw something acrossthe meet to the man standing in front of the barrel. One of tide err' boys stooped down and picked something up, friCa the other said, " That belongs to the man." I p. 4 nearer to them and heard one of the little boys may, Tad do master, that will go;" at that time I p med it and then saw it we. a barrel. There was a at the end of it alight. I ran past it and crossed to the opposite side of the way. I got about the die distance of two houses when I met the constable. I cd!cd his attention to it. I believe his name was Mori , I pointed to the barrel, saying, "What sort of game 4 10 put call that!" thinking they were letting off fireworks in the street. Moriarty made no reply but crossed over. He appeared to have nearly reached the barrel when I sew the rian who was in front of the barrel run away towards Cowman -street. The policeman then seemed to turn completely round. The policeman was about three yards f rem the man when he ran away. I think if he bad hurried he could have apprehended the non. As soon as the constable turned round I knew there was something wrong. I beard • fearful noise and I‘ol knocked down by an apparent blow in the back. I was about three houses off from the house opposite the herd. I fell near the steps of No. 5. I did not *es ; any more of the two men who were standing at the court. When the explosion took place my bonnet was blown off, my clothes torn, and my watch blown away from the chain. The men at the court were dressed is dark clothes, and ord;nary - tall black hate. The man at the barrel had a brown coat and black bat. I have seen the prisoners before. Allen appears to be about the aims and appear ance of the man who threw something across the street. Sir Thomas Henry—Let them put their hats on. (This wan done.) Witness continued—l think the man next me is the one who threw something away, which a boy picked up. I wan not near enough to see what it was. Wnat I saw horning in a barrel looted like a squib. in the evidence being read over, the witness said she aid not mean to say that the constable could have caught the man after the latter began to ran. If he bad hu- tied across the road at the moment she spoke to hint he might have stopped him before he began to ton. After he began to run, the eutedable would have had to pass the batrel. The only chance would be to have stopped him before he :tan to run. I think he weld have done so if he had st. , :ted the moment I said "What sort of game do you cal that r He walked across the road at his usual pace. II.• had not the opportunity of seeing the squib, which 3% in the end nearest the wall. I bad not mentioned the word " squib" or " fireworks." I had not time.

Sir Themes Henry asked how many boys were in the hoi-pitaL Superintendent Gernon said there were eight. Mrs. Crawley said she should not probably know them if the saw them, as she had only seen their backs. Sir Thomas Henry still thought she ought to have the opportunity of seeing them. In cross-examination by Mr. Harper, the witness de scribed upon the plan the direction in which she was cowing at the time. She saw the three men distinctly; but did not notice the features of either. Did not pay particular attention, not suspecting anything was wrong. 16,1 not notice whether they wore beanie.
