THE CROPS IN IRELAND.—Our reports this k (says the Northern Whig) of the crops in the north r Ireland differ very little from those of several weeks - nioesly. All are still hopeful of a good average crop. 'ax is still the exception ; and it may be set down RS zder the average generally. Wheat, however, still pro ,4,es to be a fair crop ; and oats have been, over all, redly improved by the recent excellent weather. Turnip also better than was at first expected. In regard to toes the reports continue unfavourable. The blight . ..wt in in meet parts of the north ; and, although it yet reached the roots, it is to be feared that it is con lug to_ progress, and may do so before long. , RE MOORS IN SCOTlAND.—Throughout the e•,:e of last week the weather continued the finest ever •• ••embererl by our oldest sportsmen as the opening week shooting memos.

The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to our market, to-day, were only moderate, but in fair condition. The weather continuing very favourable for harvest operations, and the reports from various parts of the country being satisfactory, the demand for both red and white parcels was heavy, at prices about equal to Monday. The show of foreign wheat was tolerably good. All kinds met a slow sale, and the quotations showed signs of weakness. Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request, at drooping currencies. _ _ Itiirle; was scarce and dear—late rates being well sup ported. Very little business was doing in malt, at about pre vious quotations. The supply was seasonably extensive. In oats sales progressed steadily, at full rates for fine P a r e ' s ' - - --- Bean were firm, on former terms. Pete moved off slowly, at about Monday's currency. The trade for flour dull, at about stationary rates. Linseed and rapeseed moved off slowly. Agricultural needs were firmly held, but the demand for these ruled quiet. MUMS& Per Qr. Winter. a. a.

There is no new feature of importance in the stock markets, although the tone is slightly firmer. The transactions are still upon a very limited scale, and the variations in prices few and unimportant. It appears to be the general impression that no noteworthy increase of business will take place until the completion of the holidays. The operations of the public are chiefly confined to Indian securities, colonial government bonds, and Exchequer Bills, which, owing to the constant absorption, are very scarce in the Stock Exchange. Consols are inquired for, and show a rise of 1-16 per cent. British railways and foreign stocks are _ steady, and banking, financial, and miscellaneous I 043 shares inactive. The demand for money is moderate, and the supply large. The rate for good bills is IR to 11 per cent., with exceptional transactions at The charge for short loans in the Stock Exchange is 1 to 1 per cent. 100 99 8 100 Consols are quoted 9.4 to p for money, and 94a for the account (Sept. 10) ; and the New Three per Ceuta. and Three per Cents. Re duced, Dto to - - The railway market is inactive, and with the exception of a rise of 1 per cent. in London and North Western stock prices show no change.

A further parcel of 10,000 sovereign, from South America was sent into the Bank yesterday.

The ope rations of the undertaking have resulted in a defi ciency, but a recent revision of the tariff having been attended with an increase in the receipts the directors regard the future as promising. Of the preference shares authorised to be issued at the special meeting upwards of 4,000 have been sub scribed for. The report was adopted. At a meeting yesterday of Macomb and Co., sack contractors (Limited), the amount available was stated at 7,8661., and a dividend was declared at the rate of 12 per cent. per annum, free of income tax, for the past half-year. The following report has been issued by the liquidators of the English Joint Stock Bank (Limited): London, 29, Clement's-lane, 8.C.. August 21. Dear Sir,—We send herewith two statements, the one showing receipts and payments from the date when the bank passed into liquidation to July 20th, 1%7 ; the other, the position of the liquidation at the present date. With regard to the first account, we have divided our receipts and payments under such distinct headings as will convey to you a clear conception of the mode in which the funds that have passed through our hands have been disposed of. In all cases where debts have been paid in full, or where compensations have been awarded, we have laid the facts before the court and have acted under its direction. In preparing the second account you will observe that we have not included in the liabilities any amount for inte rest which may be claimed by depositors, and we have felt great difficulty in arriving at a correct estimate of the value of the outstanding assets. Our estimate of the debts and overdue bills is the result of a most careful examine tioniolehuosition of every debtor at the present time ; it is Impossi ble to say with precision what the ultimate real n may be, but looking at all the circumstances we feel justified in hoping that these estimates may be realised. The bank premises have been twice offered for sale, but owing to the present depreciated state of pro perty of this description (which we hope is only tempo werary) have not found a purchaser. The amount at which it stands in the account is its original co.t. Our exertions shall be directed to realise the outstanding assets with every care and diligence ; and as the creditors have already received 16e. in the pound os their rest active debts, we have reason to believe that they will as t at present urge as to make a farther call on the shs'ebolders, who have already suffered so severe)y.—We are, dear sir, yours faithfully, C.

A TOWN UNDER Snour.frrnarrols. —The governing body of Royal Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, are placed in &position of great difficulty, in consequence of Mr. Thomas Heath, of Warwick one of the plainti ff s in the recent protracted litigation in Chancery against the Lea mington Local Board, having taken steps to enforce the sequestration limed by the court for the infraction of an injunction restraining the board from discharging the filtered town sewage into the River Learn, so as to pollute that stream. The penalty which the sequestration is to exact is 5,0001. The four commissioners named in the writ, which was issued several months ago, have given notice to the board's collector of rates not to pay any more money over to the treasurer, and a notice has also been served upon the treasurer, who had a balance of 1,7001. to the I credit of the board, not to honour any more checks drawn upon him by that body. The local board, therefore, are left without funds to meet the current expenses of the town, and at present no plan has been devised by which the existing difficulties can be overcome. STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.—During the night of Monday last an awful thunderstorm passed over the town of Sutton-in-Ashfield. It commenced about I a.m., and continued without interruption until nearly 5 a.m., during the whole of which time the fleshes of lightning were in cessant and the peals of thunder continuous. At the height of the storm, about /30, the electric fluid entered the Parsonage-house, occupied by the Rev. Charles Bel laire, doing considerable damage, and creating the utmost alarm to the inmates. The lightning demanded first into the bedroom occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Bellaire, tearing up the carpet and throwing the fender and fireirous with such violence that they were dashed to the opposite side of the room. It then descended into the study beneath, scatter ing pieces of tile and brick on the carpet. From there it appears to have made its way into the kitchen, breaking three bells, scorching the ease of the clock, and, making • hole in the ceiling, passed along the wires out at the bell at the front door. Mr. Bellaire had just risen from bed and gone into his son's room adjoining his own, and on. returning found himself suddenly enveloped in • light like that of magnesium, and beard an awful explosion, accom panied with a suffocating smell of sulphur, which pervaded the house for several hours. It was discovered on the approach of daylight that the electric fluid had struck the corner of the house, tearing off some of the tiles and other wise injuring the roof, and then passed down the chimney into the house. CANOE VOYAGE ACROSS THE ENGLISH CHANNEL. — We have to record the exploit of Mr. Bowker, a member of the Canoe Club, who on Monday last crossed in his canoe Octoroon, from Ambleteuse, a village seven miles north of Boulogne, to Dover. After having put on board two bottles of wine and a can of biscuits, Mr. Bowker paddled out of Ambleteuse at 6.45 a m., and came in view of the English coast, after running some 14 miles west of Cape Grinner, having lost sight of lead only about a quar ter of an hour. About 10 miles from his destination be was bailed by the South-Eastern steam packet, the captain of which vessel pointed out the route, Mr. Bowker having unfortunately lost his chart and found his compass would not act. He saw during his voyage several shoals of porpoises, one of these monetary rising within a few feet of the bow of the boat. He reached Dover at 5.44 p.m., after paddling (with the exception of :10 minutes' rest) about 11 hours, his arrival causing no little excitement among the promenaders on the beach. The Octoroon is 16ft. long, 23in. wide, and Bin. deep, unquestionably the smallest boat which has ever crossed the Channel. The weather was fine ; but the sea not without Ind in some Oases.

Liswienes lam. cost Annexed is an extract from the report of the di rectors of the London and Glasgow Engineering and Iron Shipbuilding Company (Limited), to be presented at the meeting called for the 28th instant : Your directors have to submit for the information of the shareholders the annexed statement of accounts, showing the result of the working for the past year. The directors believe that when the unprecedented depression that has so long weighed on the shipbuilding trade is taken into consideration, the shareholders will concur with them in opinion ths the statements submitted must be viewed with satisfaction. It will be seen from the accounts that after payment of all current expenses and charges, includ ing interest on the balance of purchase-money, 4,970/. for depreciation of building, plant, tools, reserving6c' writing off 1,000/. from preliminary expenses, there remains a net balance of profit amounting to 9,09 8! . 10s. 7d. This balance the directors recommend should be appropriated as follows:—Dividend of I/. per share, being at the rate of 44 per cent. for the put year, free of income tax, on the paid-up capital of the company, 4,48:1/.; income tax, 741.145. 4d.; balance of profit carried forward, 4,5401. Ilia. :id.; total, 9,098 7 . 10s. id. In recommending that this amount should be carried forward, the directors have tocellthe abareholders'attention to the present conditional the trade, which they consider likely to continue depressed for some time to come, and therefore it would be impru dent to pay a higher rate of dividend; the balance remain ing with the present available capital will be sufficient to enable the directors satisfactorily to conduct the business of the company. The annexed communication refers to the affairs of Overend, Gurney, and Co. (Limited). It ap pears clear that the shareholders on accepting their shares in the new undertaking also became liable for the debts of the business transferred by the old firm. Whether they have a remedy against the directors is another question : TO THE EDITOR Or THE ZINIEHM. Sir,—lf I understand the act of 1862 with regard to companies with limited liability, it is the intention of this act to make a shareholder liable for the debts of the com pany which are contracted during the time be is a member only ; this liability is further extended to twelve months after he has ceased to be a member ; which no doubt gives a better security so creditors. This being the case, I shall feel greatly obliged to learn through the medium of your esteemed paper whether it was also the intention of the said act of 1862 to make shareholders liable for the debts of a company which existed before they joined the same. If not, I cannot understand why this should be in the present case of " °reread, Gurney, and Co. (Limited)." It was stated in August, 1866, that the total liabilities k round figures were 5,250,0001., and that there were web proper amounting to about 1,6500001., thus showing a deficiency of about 3,600,000/. If lam right in the debt which the old firm of Overend, Gurney, and Co, guaranteed to the new company amounted to 3,100,0001., which is included in the above sum of 3,600,0001. If this is correct, it would clearly show that the new company sustained only lasses amounting to 100,0001., for which the general body of shareholders are liable. Oa the other side again the eight persons who have signed the memorandum of association, and who were the only ahem. holders in the company when this debt of 3,100,001 W. was t..keu over, are liable to the full amount of the unpaid capital on the shares held by them respectively.
