In this order the procession made its way through the crowd into the chapel, the east end of which was • perfect blaze of lights and flowers. A rather handsome Gothic screen has lately been erected is the chapel, inside of which the monks sit entirely obscured from the eight of the congregation, thick damask curtains hug ing from bran rods as high as the Wp of their beads when mending op. These are drawn beck on solemn ornicasiona like the one we are describing, so as to Idisplay the hieb altar and be ornament.. This evening it was dressed honour of the Assumption. Over the tabernacle, before which hues white satin and gold curtains, was • large Gothic figure of the Virgin and Child under • wirework canopy of flowers. The dress of the figure, with its draperies, was beautifully adorned by carvings to represent rich embroidery ; the dress was red—the outer garment blue. The crown (gilt) shone brightly among the innumerable candles. In front el the figure stood the beautiful Munich crucifix. In tiers one above the other were rows of candles and vases of flowers. Vespers commenced ; priests, monks, sad acolytes sitting or kneeling before the altar—the white - robed and veiled young ladies is rows behind. The psalms over, the anthem was sung, or rather shouted, to • perfect thunder of organ and drum. And now came the Magnifica, or Song of (the Virgin—the grand feature of the vesper service.

By the time the service was over it was quite dark. The processioe re-formed as before, lighted tapers of wax being armed to all who were willing to follow in the procession. Hundreds did so, and the extraordinary appearance of the innumerable lights, the waving banners glittering in the ruing moonlight, the soft cbantieg, the white veils of the girls, the crimson robes of the Wye, the rapt attention of the deem crowds, who seemed perfectly amazed, the complete circle of light round the garden and emartyard—for the procession went round the whole pre mises— was indeed a strange and fairy-like scene. As the procession began to re-enter the chapel the choir bout forth in a well-known chant, which was taken up by several in the crowd—" Mary is taken up . into heaven. Alleluia!

The liabilities, as at present ascertained, are about SOW., but the partner, who is out of the way, is believed to have incurred liabilities to a considerable amount. Mr. George Waller, of Golainaaatreet gentleman, was appointed assignee ; Mr. J. B. Cbidley, of the Old Jewry, is solicitor to the estate. 13 CULLI3. This was the first meeting for the proof of debts and choice of assignees in the matter of George William Cullen, of the Duchene of Kent, 11 . -street, u t=ste, part of the time at the Tiveli-gardens, victualler, and occesioeally actin as steward on board steamboats. Mr. W. R. Buchanan appeared for the petitioner and a numerous body of creditors ; Mr. Baddeley was for Mews. Hoare and Gifford. distillers. The debts are 9941. 13e., and the failure is attributed to the alteratioe and lacrimal of the Itanissate pier dues, opening of the new railway, London, Chatham, and Dover, which taker visitors in another direction to the house, and general badness of trade. The principal creditors are fisears. Cramp and Son, brewers, High-street, Ramsgate, and Mesas. Bowe and Gifford, the distillers. Mr. Robert Cramp, brewer, of Ramsgate, was nominated by Mr. Buchanan as assigaee. Mr. Baddeley, for Means. Hoare sad Gifford, objected to the nominatioo. Mr. Cramp, at the sale of the property, bought nearly all the estate, and would not therefore see to the interests of the other creditors if appointed. Mr. W. R. Buchanan, in reply, said that Mr. Cramp always carried on his business in a most uptight manner. He had bees a well known brewer at Itarnegitte for thirty or forty years, was • gentleman of large fortune, and his conduct was beyond suspicion. Mr. Baddeley would be content if one of his clients was joined in the choice. Mr. Buchanan said it wee so use having two minor "placed" in jostapoeitioo. There was no proof of say de sire ou the part of the creditors to that effect, and the only result would be out of the estate two attorneys would have to be paid. Ultimately Mr. Baddeley abandoned his objection, and Mr. Cramp was appointed sasigaee. The next meeting was fixed for the 28th of November, to which day the bankrupt's protection was enlarged. This was the rust meeting for the proof of debts and choice of assignees.

The bankrupt had petitioned the court, having been arrested at the suit of a Mos Catherine Stokes, and bad been ordered to find bat for his appearance at the different meetings in this court. The debts do not exceed 5001., and the failure is attributed to "losses sustained in my endeavour, to estab lish a bovines, and insufficiency of my income." The bank rupt had been a contributor to the Leisure Hour and other periodicals, and was stated to have formerly been a count in Italy and member of the 'Venetian parliament, and for freely expressiog his opinions confined in Papal prisons.

She was very much injured, and had been unable to leave her bed since the accident. _ _ Mr. Lewis, who appeared for the defendant, said, on the part of the defendant, he was prepared to make any resume - able compensation. Mr. Vaughan said it was a serious °Heim for a drunken man to drive a eart at a very furious rate through a public thoroughfare. He should not consent to aoy compromise in the case, as he should punish the prisoner for furious driving, and make him pay for the damage he had bone. Mr. Lewis thought it would be satisfactory to all parties to have the matter settled at once, as the proceedings for the recovery of the money awarded for damage would have to be obtained trough the instrumentality of the county court, which world be attended with trouble. Mr. Vaughan said the Police Act gave him power to award " amends" to ►be prceocutor, and they could be en forced without proceeding in the county omit. He there- fore fixed the defendant Oa., or one month's imprisonment. for furious driving ; for the injury done to Mrs. Novick be should award 31. 3s. ; and for the damage done to the chaise, 34 10e.

The twenty-third half-yearly general meeting mu held yerderam at the Grceyeaor Hotel, Victoria-station, Lord Bonnie in the okalr. Th. report of the direders, which bas beet already pub lished in our °ohm" was taken as read. The Cuetutu( said it was most gratifying to the share holden I. see that the traffic of the line had so largely in. creased, and was still increasing. The working expenses no doubt had been very great—(hear, hear)—but every attsa- Mon was paid to that subject, and he had no doubt that in a very short time those expenses would be considerably reduced. The opening of the rims-bridge station had been of great advantage to the whole undertaking, and had answered np to this moment most satiafactorily. The parlia mentary proceedings had been important and costly in the last session. They had been a source of great anxiety to the director., and be hoped the result would be satisfactory to the shareholders. Aa they b ad recently bad two meetings at which full explanations were given of the pudica of the company, he would scarcely be justified in detaining them with any lengthened state meat on the present occasion, but should be happy to answer any gumbos' that might be asked. He might, however, add that the reports of Mews. Cubitt and Turner, the animates, and of Mr. Mills, the resident, and Sir Charles Fox, the consulting engineer, as to the progress of the works and the condition of the line, were in all respect' satisfactory. With regard to the works at Dover, where it was of the greatest importance that the terminaa should be speedily and properly finished, Mr. Oubitt's report was most gratifying. The account' had been in the hands of the shareholders some days, and as they explained themselves he need not &this them by going into them. In ooncluion he moved the adoption of the report. Lord liuthm (deputy chairman) secooded the motion. Mr. HAMILTON, who was very indistinctly heard, pointed out that the working exposer were in rases of the re ripe by 35,01 W., sad expressed a doubt whether they would be able, in the event of the South Pastern subsidy being withdrawn, to keep the line open. They could only compete with the South Eastern by reducing the fares, and with reduced fares their ability to pay working axpeases would be diminished. He objected that nothing was put to the debit ef irradiator account for neurones, depreciatioo, or repairs, which last item bad, during the last half-year, cost 4,000/. Nor was there any credit in the Metropolitan Fatessioos account for the me of the terminus by the Loudon, Chatham, and Dover main line. Mr. itarmizeuci called attention to • circular from • stockbroker, showing that • 1,0001. Lloyd's bond of a cer tain company sold for 750/., yielding to the purchaser 18 par cent. He wished to know what amount of Lloyd's bonds had been issued, and at what rate of interest. Mr. HOLROTD (director) said that it was not bueiness-like to go into the details of the interest paid in every ease. All the liabilities of the onmpany were stated in the so counts. ii6. - Boxicoce could see no reason for any 'scrota in the ooropsey. Mr. HOLROTI) explained that a Lloyd's bond was merely the acknowledgment of a debt. _ A 80•11:11011/1E They are negotiable, of ooayse. Mr. HoLltotn—Not in the ordinary way in which other securities an negotiable. Any man, no doubt, might transfer a debt, sad the company, in giving the acktiow lodgment, agreed to recognise the traWer of that acknow ledgment to a third party. iIIDOICOCI held that ell massy matters ought to be fully explained. He wanted to know the amount of deben ture interest paid on account of the main lines during the last six months. _ Mr. HoUtorn—lf you deduct the amount stated in the last account it will give it you. Mr. HIDOZCOCK —Then it is 30,7461., and the balance of interest taken in the same way yes 25.2061. He asked what was the amount of interest paid, and not dependent on the earnings of the line? The 4i per cent. was in that entogory. Mr. Si soar thought it would be better to sak these ques tions of detail of the secretary at the office. A SHARZHOLDLII thought the proper course was to put such questions when the shareholders all met together. Mr. HIDGECOCK asked what amount was required to pay interest on all shams of the rosin line, independent of the interest paid on shares not dependent on the earnings of the line. Mr. HOLROYD said the whole of the information was given in the accounts, but it wee impossible to go with the hon. proprietor through bis various calculations, and to answer them in minute detail. Upon any item mentioned in the account. the directoti were prepared to afford the fullest information. _ Mr. Emu protested against taking up the time of the meeting in putting questions as to previous accounts, which other fiireholden had not with them, and had forgotten. The CHAIRMAN said that all the information was given in the amounts. Mr. !Lawman thought they ht to be informed of the number and 'mount of the Lloyd's outstanding. Mr. lioinoru—The balance-sheet shoos the liabilities to be on the general undertaking 638,0001., and on the Metro politan Extension 471,00 W. That included the Lloyd's bonds and all liabilities. Mr. lizposcoca referral to statistics draws out by him- self to show that they had ally 6,2001. to pay the expenses of the mamma feed sod interest on the B and C shares. Lord HARRIS stated that the accounts fully explained the financial position of the company. It was Dever expected that the Metropolitan Extension would pay until It was brought thoroughly into working order, but it was moeseary to guarantee interest in order to raise the money to carry on the undertaking. He had no doubt that the present was the wont, and by far the worst, account they would ever have ; but he could see no good that could arise from going into the details of every item, io order to show that now in the incomplete state of the undertaking they were being in this et that direction. Mr. Bairn:Dun considered that the accounts were so made out as to make it impossible for the proprietor, to get at the true state of their expenses. When they found, as they had done at a previous meeting, that the credit of the company had been pledged by three Lloyds bond to • large extent beyond the authorised capital, these questions were very important. The 30,000/. profit on the main line just covered the rent charge for the Victoria station, the western exteasioo, which never ought to have been a rent charge, and th e Mid Kent, without paying a shilling for debenture interest and other charges. It appeared also that the carmine of the curtest half-year were debited to the exteot of 67,0001. He believed the undertaking was corded out, not for the benefit of the shareholders, but Sc, that of certain persons who would probably realise a very large fortune, while the shanholders would sustain, as be feared, • very great Ices. If they took the capital of the company at 4,300,000/., they no doubt expected to earn 5 per oent—(he was speaking only of the line from Biokley to Dover.) They wanted 8,0001. a week to pay preference charges, but all the year round they had only 5,3001. a week. But the capital ac count had 300.000/, to its debit, which was to be taken out of another million of capital ; eo that, while they had a smell increase is their earnings, they had as looses, of two millions in capital, which was now six millions instead of four. Be wanted to know what the two millions was raised for. HOLZOTD—That was folly =Osumi and diamond at the last meeting. Lord HAZILLe added that is the report of February 26 it was explained that additional capital was required for pur chasing extra rolling stock, to purchase the Farnborough externem to porchthe steam•bcata, to carry oa the necessary works at Dover, and to make other provision for the gaiety and soomoniodatiort of the public, sad for promoting the traffic. ML MARTIIIDOI —Hut after all it comes to this, that they would require 12,500/. itieteed of 8,0001. • week all the year roued to pay 5 per cent. This was • meow matter. He had not spoken of the extension line, which was • mad scheme. As to the steam-boats, they had laid out 275,0001. on that acconnt, and the receipts paid only 31 per oent., while they were miser be knew not bow much interest, 5 or 6 per cent. He did not know what advantages they derived from the division of traffic at Dover, but when he we at Dover he was asked whether he would go by the London, Chatham. and Dover or the South Eastern ; he invariably replied, by the South &store, became it was more punctual. ("Rear," and • laugh.) He thought the capitol provided for the intermit:in was not anything like su6ocieet. He agreed with Mr. Kuight's remark at the last meeting, that they were proosediog by • bit-by-bit system. If they took ell the lilies together they would see they were involved in an expenditare of 16 millions, not eight, sod this would be found • serious matter in a period of dear money. All their earnings in the half-year were 45,0001., including the extension, and how they were to pay interest on so large a capital out of such servings it was difficult to say. To pay interest on the 16,600, 00 01. they would wait 31,75 W. • week. Mr. HAIUMON believed that they derived no profit, but, on the contrary, a very emiderable loss, from the steam boats, if they took depreciation, Marasco, and all other charges into th e acocnt. This earaings, now that the capital had increased to double what it was three years ago, had very much fallen off. He believed they were losing 30,0001. a year by the steam-boat.. Mr. HAITRIDOK thought it would be prudent to pass a monition prohibiting the issue of Lloyds hoods beyond the authorised refits] of the company. in which me the ' directors woeld be themselves liable for any such issue, and be was cot sure that they were not so now. Mr. Buecry doubted whether the proprietors generally anderatcrd what Lloyds hoods really were. They were I nothing more than an acknowledgment ma the part of the ' company that they were indebted for certain work deo, for . them, but for which at the moment they were not able to ; pay. Them were mattes which ought to be left with the I directors, aides. the directors bad not the emifidesoe of the shareholders, in which cam it should be declared by a alib i dimities reeolutioo. It was moat enremoalde to deal with theeesccoonts.thewiog oompariembetween ezpeoditare and esraings while the undertaking was still in as incom plete state. When the City extension was coin plated, and It wee being made as rapidly se ever soy lino was, and the Chatham and Dover was conioleted, thee let hoe. proprietors criticise the moulds as they pleased, and take exceptioa to whatever was charged to capital that ought to be charged to revenue. That the lies was made bit by bit was a necessity of the ease. As to the western exteestoe. they were shindy making a profit out of It. He imagined Mr. Hartridge must have a very small Wisest in the company, or he would not travel by the South Eastern instead of the London, Chatham, and Dover. ]47Hawrestnom meant the South Eastern steam ship. Mr. SURGET—The mistake was Mr. Ihrtridge's, not his, His (Mr. Bergey's) object wee to get a dividend upon the ordinary stook, and he bed no doubt the ordinary sleek would before losgreceive •&dividend, andnoue would bemire I glad of it %heaths preference holders. lie was informed the manager, in whom he had full confidence, that by 8,0001., & week traffic would pay all the preference charges They were taking 8,0001. • week now. and he had no doubt they would soon make that return all the year round. At present they were taking 8,0001. • week from passengers only, the goods station at Blackfriars, the best in London, not being cozleted, but did Loy bode suppose that, wi th the enormous tramc allele coal baffles which must come to them w hen the station sad the extension to Farringdoe street was completed, and when they had the threngb traffics from the main lines on the north side of the Thames, that their traffic would be limited to scything like 8,0001. • week ? After some further remarks from Mr. IIuDuICOCE end Mr. IIaWILTOS, Mr. Fours, the traffic manager, observed that bon. gentlemen who had criticised the accounts, had failed to , mike themeless masters of the facts of the Cale. As to ' the steamboats, they stood in the capital account at 275,0001., but that included the cost of the ferry which secured to the company an advantage pooewd by no other company. Gentlemen who spoke so glibly of the financial difficulties of the company took no account of the difficulty eonsequent upon the strenuous opposittoe in par liament by the South Eastern Company aid the enormous expenses. The capital account, under the arrangement since made with the South Fasten, would materially reduce the steamboat capital account. Many of the old steamboats would be got rid of ; and an arrangement had been made with Mr. Church ward for the French mail boats. They ought to remember too that the capital account included the goodwill of the steamboat business--a business which produced them 16,0001. a-year. The difference in the working expenses of the steamboats resulted from the diminution of the number of services from three to two Err day, under the arrangement with the South Eastern. H. was happy to say that the earnings from the two sec vices were almost as much as from the three, while these was • saving of 5,0001. a year in the working, besides the saving in the working of the railway and in the harbour dues. The versals were all fully bleared. He denied that the London, Chatham, and Dover, was lees punctual then the South Eastern. They wen carrying 200,003 passenger • week, so that it could hardly he expected that Passional causes of complaint would not arise. He had with him • statement showing that out of 12,000 trains on the general line, 10,800 were absolutely punctual. With the difficulties they had to contend with, running over other lines and the number of unctions, this was as much as could be expected. On the , etropolitan line there was almost absoluteipuncniality. As to the western extension, an examination of the documents would have satisfied Mr. Hartridge that the taking over the western extension as • ranchers, would have involved the return of 70/. • week. That they could not recommend, but what had been the resat? lAA half-year the western erten- SiOD had earned 72/. a week. LaVoie. the esti age were 40/ in the wont half of the year, per week, the difference being ' made up by the contractor. They had risen in the December halt-year to 711. Ih. 10d. a week, and to 64/. is the worst half of the preset year. Now they were much more, and he had no doubt they would at the end of the year show an average return greater than in the corresponding half of 1863. The motion was then put and carrini unanimously. The meeting was then made special for authorising, in pursuance of the provisions of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway (City Undertaking) Act, 1864, the creation and issue of the capital by that set authorised for the pur- Ines of the Metropolitan Extension Undertaking, end for authorising the borrowing on mortgage of that undertaking the snore authorised by the said act, and for sutheriming the conversion of the Metropolitan Extension deferred half shares A into capital stock. The Clunsure moved • resolution authorising the raising of 1,600,0001. ou acrount of the Metropolitan Extension, in preference shares, to rank with the deterred half-sh oes A, which follow the B and C pestilence shares. Lord HARRIS stated that the object of this 'additional capital had been explained at previous meetings, viz., to meat the larger outlay on the Metropolitan l i ne! than was signal'y expected, arisisiog from the necessity of laying down additional lines, deepening foundations, and contract ing works Dot originally contemplated, but which were re quired wader the arrangements with other companies, end had been sanctioned by parliament. The resolution was carried unanimously. The Cusrgeare next moved • resolution authorising the directors to borrow on debentures 533,0001., at such rate of interest as they might determine. In reply to • question, Lord HARMS expressed his belief that this additional capital would complete the works. Mr. &MORT hoped that if any further capital were re quired the rights of the present preforms* holders would be respected . The Charing-ens Railway, which wee only miles, they were told yesterday world cost upwards of three millions, or more than a 'affirm and • half per mile, while the Metropolitan 4:tsarist of this company would coat considerably under 500,003/. • mile. After some dimension of • desultory character, the reso lution was carried, as was another authorising the conversion Satoshi& of the 82,5001. deferred hell shares A. A vote or hanks to the chairman and directors concluded the business. EAST OP ENGLAND BANK. The deficiency to be made good by the share holders is this bank is now officially returned at 126,728. • very keg and able report has hew prepared by Messrs. Harding, Pullin°, Wisiouey. and Gibbose, es to the eases which bare contributed to the failure of the beak. After sousing irregularities and losses from the commencement of of operations in 1835, the report attributes the ultimate collapse of the bask to undue speculation in railway shares. Mears. Harding, Pullen, Whiaoey, cad Gibbose express their Dion that there can be no justification for the an speculation in which the directors embarked. • the three yeah ending April, 1884, there have bees transactions to an enormous extent, and the ordinary funds of the bank were ialaseicient for the Os the 25th of July last, year the way investments alone amounted to 623,8231., while the whole Amount due to customers oe sunset a ccounts and deposit account. was 815,0411. or 8,2411. km It is sot a matter of surprise that the bank found it a oarray to obtain money in other quarters ; this was =y does by borrowing was the asesuity of some of ray shares, and these loans were frequently obtained at a ruinous rate of interest, as much as 81. and W. per coat per annum being occasionally paid for the use of the mosey. It apoean that about 1848 the director. read a resolution that the general manager (Kr. W. & Wilson) should no no amount make say railway innetroents without the consent of the board- These instruction were not attended to by the general manager in later years, as it is stated that be ears orders last autumn for the purchase of Irish railway iitocks to a very large amount, the lon by which to the company amounts to' sawn thougaed pounds, some of the stock so purchased , rely a twelvemonth ewe being utterly unsaleable at the pre--a-ant time. It must not be supposed, however that the directors were ignmant, as • rule, of the traseictioas in railway securing., for the minute books prove that at ' nearly every meeting of late years broken' DOW of sale or' purchase were laid before them and approved. Invenesesta I were made in no less than 70 railway uodertakbigs, the list' including companies in England, Scotland, Ireland, India, and Belgium. Not only were the fonds of the bank employed in railway speculations es the bank's own account, but in 1845 an advisee wee made to the thou chairman tithe board and the coma ma roger, who appear to have watered into epaulette= in rail ways on their joint account ; the ultimate adveutee far ex ceeded the amount originally applied for. The ill-advised investments of the beak were not coshood to railways, for is 1854 they purchased Westminster Improvement Bonds, and in 1851 and 1881 Netherlands Lad Compaq shares, both of which investments amounting to 5,2751., seem likely to malt in a total loss of the sem invested. Messrs. Hard. bag, Pol4in, Whinoey, sod Gibbons add : "We ban avoided as far as possible uernoeseary comment upoa the esoduct of individuals, since this conduct and the re. sponsibelity of the past and present directors may hereafter foam the subject of legal proceedings. It is not foe us to do more now than to refer to the fact that ieg to the deed of settlement the company should haw ham wound up may years nom, when more than ono-fourth of ' its capital wee lost." In tracing the early history of the bank, Mesas. Harding, Pullen Whimsey, ad Gibbons show that it was angularly unto:innate in maay a its early operations hem frauds and failures, and they Wpm, as opinion that la 1841 the ocapsny ought to hare base woad up, Mr. W. Cargill, it may be added, was ireasnd from 1835 to 1841, and in September of the latter year was succeeded by Mr. W. 8. Wilma WIT LONDON RAILWAY. —The half-yearly gene ral meeticg of this company took plans yesterday at the offices, Tokenhonas-yard, 3fr. Stephen Bird in the chair. The secretary read a brief report, which 'toted that the directors had not yet concluded the proposed arrangements with the West London Extension Railway Company with • view to the dissolution of this company. They would still, however, use their beet endeavour, to accomplish that object, and they recommended the re-appdotment the committer of shareholder. nominated on the 2nd Sept.. 1862, to 00-operate with the directors on this matter. The balance-sheet for the half year ending June 30. 1864, showed that the receipts, including 317,0741. 18s.
