THE BOMBAY MAIL. By the arrival of the above mail we have advices from Bombay to December 28, and from Calcutta to December 22. Latest intelligence received from Bhootan reports that the restoration of the guns left by our troops at Dewangiri, as also the return of the kidnapped Bengalees, was daily expected. The treaty has been brought in, duly signed and ratified by the Deb and Dhurm Rajahs, great efforts having been made by them to return it within the stipulated time. The Viceroy has also signed the treaty, and the thanks of the Supreme Government have been voted to Colonel Bruce for his services in bringing the war to a termination. There seems to have been a scarcity of provisions in Bhootan, and the Bhooteas now cross the frontier in considerable numbers to buy rice. Notwithstanding all this, it is said • small force will advance to Punakba, for the arranging of minor details, and to produce a "moral " effect upon the chiefs and inhabitants. The actual boundary line between the two ooun tries has not yet been settled, but will be determined by our own commissioners. It is considerably higher than the malarions Terai, and commands all the passes into Bhootan, but the scarcity of labour will, it is said, prevent its being turned to profit able agricultural purposes. A disgraceful outrage is alleged to have been committed at Kurrachee by some drunken revellers entering Trinity church at midnight, ringing the bells, and profanely reading a portion of the ser vice. A European officer is said to have been the ringleader. The Pioneer gives in the following terms the par ticulars of a case of suttee near Allahabad : A deliberate act of suttee was perpetrated yesterday week near 'village on the Jubbulpore line, about 25 miles from Allahabad, on the border of the Rewah territories. The 'abject of the sacrifice was the wife of a barber, who, on his death, declared her intention of not surviving, and on her uteedily refusing to Eaten to the expostulations of her Neighbours, they at last yielded to her importunity, and assisted at the brutal ceremony. As far as we can learn, the womanwas not at any time under the infinenoe thong, bot simply acted on the prompting' of what—for vane of a better term—we must call religious fervour. She mat upon • pile of wood with her dead husband across her knees, while faggots were piled up to her shoulders, and her hair saturated with ghee, continuing to converse with the bystander. while her arm' were burning. and only real. bs to do eo when flame and smoke choked her utterance. During the five mouths ending November last year, the G. L P. Railway has brought 209,724 bales of cotton into Bombay. In 1804, in the cor responding period, the quantity was only 73,542 bales. - Captain A. G. Remington, of the late 12th N. 1., kas become a fakeer; he is permitted to resign his commission. Captain Grant, the African explorer, has been appointed second in command of the 4th Goorkba Regiment at ilmorah. A severe shock of earthquake has been felt throughout Bengal and the N. W. Provinces. MELANCHOLY DEATH OF LORD ST. HAUB. With deep regret we have to announce the death of Lord /Award St. Maur, the second son of the Duke of Sernerest• under very melancholy circumstances. His lordship, arrived in Bombay from Marseilles in the Peninsular mad Oriental Company's steamer Jeddo, on the 9th Novem ber. He became the guest of the Governor, and accom panied his excellency to Dharwar. His lordship there joined Shaw Stewart, Esq., collector of Camas, end they travelled together on their way to Carwar. They were sabsequantly joined by Mr. Brand, an officer in the Guards, and by Mr. Walker, the civil engineer a the district. () a the 14th instant then gentlemen were out bison stalking, but being in a jungly district could sot keep close together. As he proceeded, Lord St. Maur seam une‘pectelly across a bear, at which he fired his pistol, lodging the contents in the breast of the animal. It then 'thanked him when drawing a sheathed stalking bolle, his lordship thrust it /into the beer, inflicting a mortal wound. In the scuffle, however, they had bath approached a precipice over which they together fell. Here the beaters came up and relieved Lord St. Maur from his adversary. His presence of mind did not forsake him, and he wrote with a pencil on the sheath of his knife (having no other appliances) to his fellow sportsmen who were in the vicinity, informing them of his condition. They having arrived, a great difficulty was experienced as to removing him from the ravine into which be had fallen, sod the only means of dolma so was to set about cleating a pathway up to the high ground above. This being accom plished, the poor sufferer was removed to Yellapoor, where as apothecary was toned, who rendered all the service be could, and whose treatment was fully approved of on the snivel subsequently of Drs. Langley and Kilroy. They however. had to be sent for, the one from Dharwar, the ether from Belgaum; thisosessearily caused a delay of about seventy hours. Amputation of tholes was at once resolved upon, to which the sufferer submitted heroically. He moo, however, began to sink from the oombiued effects of the operation and the shock his system bad sustained. He died on the 20th instant at two a.m. and we buried at Yells poor, near the spat where hes a.m., buried a Mr. Cmpendale, a young officer, who died there a few years since. Lord St. Maur sustained his sufferings in a way that eommataled the admiration, while it moved to deepest sympathy and grief the two or three friends who were at his side. He had every attention that the circumstances admitted of and that human aid could reader ; and he died as be had suffered, calmly and resignedly. Mr. Shaw Stewart we meat earnest and unremitting in his attentions and watchfulness to his suffering friend. Lord St. Maur was on a visit to India for the purpose of observing the condition of the country anti its people ; and of acquiring that amount of knowledge on these subjects which an intelligent observation and an earnest inquiring mind invariably gathers. We are well assured that the deceased nobleman was very earnest is this purpose, and was exceedingly desirous of acquiring such information as would be practically useful to him as opportunity would serve on his return to England. It was his full intention to have gone from Dharwar to Nagpore to be present at the exhibition, but he changed his mind, and expressed his determination to visit Cerwar to see the works both at that port and in its neighbourhood. It was on his way there that be engaged in the diversion which proved so immutable in its results. Load Edward Percy St. Maur was the second non of the Doke of Somerset, his brother Edward Adolphus Ferdinand St. Maur being the eldest son and heir presumptive to the elkedolll.

SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY. The performance of Samson last evening at Exeter hell drew (se it always does) an overflowing sadism*. This oratorio is one of "the mighty master's" greatest works, It wee written immediately after The Menial', sad, like it, was composed with almost incredible rapidity—in less than four weeks—as if it had been begun and ended by one single sad continuous impulse of his giant power. Of all his oratorios it is the most dramatic. The poem is the sublime Samson Agonietes of Milton, altered and prepared for Handel by one of his literary assistants (is whom he was by no means happy), and sadly spoiled in the process. Bat enough of Milton remiss to be the foundation of a grand lyric tragedy, though his gold is nn. fortunately alloyed with a sad quantity of base metal, and certainly the poem, as it stands, was able to inspire Handel with many of his greatest and most beautiful con ception,. None of his oratorio" contain grander choruses than the warlike "Awake the trumpet's lofty sound " 0 tizetcreatedbsam,"so fall of profound pathos ; "Then round about the starry throne ; "Hear, Jacob's God" (the Plorate filar Israel of Carissimi) ; "Fixed in his everlasting seat," the fuelled double choral, which rivals the greatest pieces of its class in Israel in Egypt ; or the woodsrful lasts " Let their celestial concerts all unite." The oratorio is less rich in airs than in choruses ; but finer airs are nos to be found anywhere than "Total eclipse," " Why does the God of Israel sleep ?" "Return, 0 God of Hosts," "How willing my paternal love," or "Bawer and arms." When those colossal choruses, and those and other beautiful sirs were snag as they were last night b► Sims Reeves, Madame Balaton Dolby, Miss Banks, Mr. Weiss, and Patsy, the whole work will never fail to produce an immense effect, notwithstanding the ince ' heron°, of the scenes as arranged by Haodel's playwright, and the quantity of platitudes mixed up with Milton's poetry. Sims Reeves was in the fullest possession of hi s vocal powers, and sang the "Total eclipse "—Samson's unspeakably mournful lamentation for his lose of sight—es no one belonging to the present geoeration, and few belong ing to the past, have ever heard it sung ; for Reeves is the only singer who can satisfy those who have heard Brahman. It is well koown how beautifully Madame Dolby sings the deeply mournful " Return, 0 God of Hosts," and how much vigour she throws into " Honour and arms." Miss Banks and Mr. Patey sustained their parts admirably ; and the whole oratorio was performed in a meaner that we have never heard 'Leafiest. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.--J err. 19. Sittings it Nisi Prins in Middloom.—(Balimo Mr. Justin Bytes and a Common Jnry.) BIDILICE o. LOCKINOTON. This was aa action to recover damages in consequence of the plaintiff, a girl, four years old, having been bitten by the defendant's dog. Mr. Kemp and Mr. Houston appeared for the plaintiff ; sad Mr. Serjeant Parry and Mr. Littler for the defendant. The plaintiff was the daughter of a working mao, and the defendant was • builder living in Paddington.streei, Marylebonarced. On a Sanday afternoon in July last, the plaintiff and some other children were upon the defen• dent's door-step playing, when • black end tan terrier, known as " Old Charley," and belonging to the defendant, seized bar by the cheek. A soldier who was passing beat the dog off, and took the plkintiff home. She was taken to a chemist, who dressed the wound, and there were now some slight sears remaining. Her mother, however, said that the plaintiff had since the bite bad several fits, and sometimes awoke in the night terrified by dreaming of the dog. Mr. Justice Bides directed the jury that the plaintiff would not be entitled to recover unless it was made out that the dog was one likely to do mischief, and that the defendant knew it. The Jury, io answer to his lordship, found that the dog did not bite without such provocation as would induce a good-natured dog to bite ; that the dog had bitten before, and the defendant knew it, but that such biting was under such provocation as would induce a good-natured dog to bite ; and that the defendant did not know that it was mis chievous. lii..l;uitios Byles .aid that in his opinion this amounted to a verdict for the defendant; but be would reserve leave to the plaintiff to take the opinion of the full court upon the question. The jury said that, in the event of the plaintiff being en titled to recover, they amused the damages at 20v. case containing leoe, thread, and tapes. In the adjoining bedroom he dineovered on the mantelehelf a timepiece in a carved oak case. Under the bed he found a hamper containing 6lhe of composite candles, and close by he &covered three horse-rugs and a roll of house flannel. In &cupboard in the same room were three publican's pewter pots, and anew kid boot. Witness then found that there was an internal communication with the next house, which he prisoner also oocupied. Witness entered that house, and in a room on the ground floor found three new carpet brooms, two black shawls, and two new hearth rugs. In the back room he found four empty beer casks belooging to different brewers. Witness asked him if he could amount for the poneemion of the property. Hassid he had bought the goods at several times, chiefly to furnish the next house; and as for the clock, his wife bought that two years ago, during which time it had been in his possession. He, however, said he could not tell from whom he had parehseedl any of the goods. Witness had ascertained that the clock was stolen on Saturday, and after proving that, he should ask for a remand, to enable him to find the owners of the other property. Mrs. Harriet Green, the wife of Charles Lindsey Green, wood carver, of 34, Great Union-atreet, Newington Cause way, identified the clock produced as her husband's property. He carved the case himself. Witness saw it safe on Saturday afternoon last, about 4 o'clock, on the front parlour mantel shelf. She mimed it a little after 6 o'clock, when she found that the window had been forced up. The prisoner, who declined to say anything at this stage of the proceedings, was remanded until Wednesday next. NAVAL AND MILITARY. ADMIRALTY, JAN. a —APPOINTMENIS.--Eitaff Commsodsr H. D. B.

The It Morning News of yesterday says : Details crop out coonectiogl the event with the West, as with almost every part of England, in • way which shows how wiJe-spread and terrible is the sorrow which the loss of the vessel has caused. There are some alleviative inci dents also. We learn that • family consisting of twelve persons, residing at Sancreed, new Penzance, had engaged a passage in the Loudon, hos their sailing orders did not, unfortunately as they esteemed it at the time, arrive sufficiently early to allow of their joining the ship at Plymouth ; they thus mimed the boat, and to that have to attribute the fact that they are among the living. Mir Batchelor, of Union-street, Steinhauer), made an application for • passage in the London, bat was told that she was too late —all the berths swore engaged. Unhappily for her, however, one gentleman was persuaded not to proceed, after he had arrived at Plymouth with the intention of going ; and Captain Martin, who knew of Miss Batchelor' s anxiety to go out under his guidance, sent to her and offered to her the relinquished cabin. She went, and her relatives now deeply mourn what at the time was a nose of congra tulation. In the Londoniwere 1,200/. of drapery goods, for • Mr. Rogers, • tradesman, of Melbourne, shipped by him mother, • draper, of St. Austell. The goods fortunately were insured. One of thefFassengers who have perished was, we learn, the son of the organist of Exeter Cathedral ; and two others, Mr. R. Reynolds and; Mr. W. H. Clifton, were residents in Launceston. Mr. E. G. Trevenan and Mr. B. Trevenan and Mr. J. Walla wire among the Cornishmen on board. We have reason to believe that the list of passengers published is not quite complete or accurate, but no more perfect information is attainable ; the owners, indeed, are even less exactly informed concerning some of the name. than ourselves. The booking having been effected and changes made at the °hat moment, prevents an abso lutely trustworthy list being 'prepared, except on board, especially as some of the passengers travelled under assumed names. Thus, Mr. G. V. Brooke, the celebrated actor, appears ti have entered as Mr. Vaughan. Dr. Woolley was Bishop Woolley, on his way to occupy his see of Sydney. Amoogst the passengers who were drowned was Mr. A. Sandilauds, a gentlemen connected with a well-known firm at the West-end ; and it is not • little remarkable that he had not long before sailed in the Duncan Dunbar, which was destroyed at sea. The passengers on board that vessel being afterwards transferred to a ship called the John Duthie, Mr. Sandilanda again started on the same voyage ; but finding that the weather promised to be extremely unfavourable he left the vessel at Plymouth, and at length obtained the consent of his family to embark on board the London, and has consequently been lost. A correspondent writiag from Hastings rays:—"Mr.Arthur Tie-ehuret, the chief officer on board the illfated ship, was • native of that town, and was much respected. As he had only left the residence of his father, the Mayor (Mr. Frederic Tioshurst), • few day% the fact lent additional vividness to the melancholy tidings which arrived thereon Wednesday, The feeling of the town was manifested at the town council meeting yesterday afternoon, when the Hon. George Waldegrave Leslie, M.P., proposed that a subscription should be raised in, order to erect • memo rial tablet in the church of the parish in which the young man was born—St. Clement's. The idea was adopted unanimously, and the subscription list was a tolerably long one before the termination of the meeting." MORE SHIPWRECKS AND LOBB OF LIFE.—The month of January, 1866, will long•be remembered as one of disaster and sorrow. For the hat fortnight each day has brought to Liverpool some now tidings of wrecks and loss of life. Yesterday intelligence was received of the total loss of the barque Prudhoe, and it is feared, also, of every Amami board. The Prudhoe left Liverpool on the 6th inst. for Shanghae, under the command of Captain Bartlett, with a crew of 14 men, and containing a very vs luable cargo. It is believed that the Prudhoe never cleared the Channel, as large quantities of wreck and cargo from her have been washed ashore near Fleetwood and Gleason Dock. The identity of the unfortunate vessel is established by an account-book belonging to the captain, by a policy of insurance on his effects, and by an album containing his name and portrait, as well as the portraits of his wife and relatives, which have been washed ashore. The album is in scribed 'Captain Bartlett, 93, Duke-street, Liverpool." A life. buoy, with the ship's name upon it, a portion of the cabin house or deck, 16 feet of the main moat, three ven- tilators, and portions of the upper masts' rigging have also been cast on shore, but up to yesterday afternoon nn intel. ligenoe had been received of any bodies having been re. covered. The Prudhoe was a tiae iron bargee of 430 tons, built at Shields in 1860, damnified A 1. The steamer Herschel, which we mentioned yesterday as having been wrecked on the South American coast, was on her voyage from Rio Janiero to Moat* Video when the disaster 00. curred. The telegram announcing the wrecks very brief, and does not allude at all to the fate of the crew and pea ; senger• The vessel was built io 1864, and owned in Liverpool by Messrs. Lsmpoet and Holt. The James Booth, outward bound for Gibraltar, &c., went ashore near Emmons (in the Mersey) yesterday morning during • heavy squall of wind, and sustained some damage which compelled her removal to the graving -dock. RAMS POE THE CHILIAN NAVY. —A fine BMW ram, built by Messrs. Laird Brothers, has sailed from the Mersey for Valparaiso.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.—Jsx. 19. Sittings in Banos—(Before the Lord Chief Baron Pollock and Barons Martin, Bramwell, and Pigott.) BOUILLON AND WM V. VALNNTIN. Mr. Berjeint Simon moved for a rule calling upon the plaintiffs and their attorney; Messrs. Denton and Hall, to show cause why they should not give security for costa in the action of Bouillon and wife v. Valentin, in the event of its being ultimately decided in favour of the defendant, and why they should not bring into court for safe custody the coepons, shares, and other property which had been taken from the defendant. Be said that both the plaintiffs were foreigners, residing in France, and that on the night pre ceding the day on which the verdict was given at the last trial, M. Bouillon, who had come to England to give evi. demo; suddenly left thin country in consequenoe of being told by some one that if the verdict was against him he would probably be arrested for coat; He had never made his appearanoe here since, and was not likely to do so The % The court said that as regarded the properly alb gad to have been taken from Madame Valentin they had no power to do what was asked, and that the application an to costs must be made before a judge at chambers, from whose decision there would beau appeal to this court. Application refused. BAIL COURT.-JAL 19. Sittinp at Mai Pir:ius at Teatiniaattr.- 7 -(B!sfore Mr. Justice Shoe and Commas Juries.) CLAYTON 0. GOODTEL—EILANDEB. This was a rather peculiar action for slander. The de. fendant pleaded not guilty. Mr. Haddleaton, Q.C., and Mr. Prentice were counsel for the plaiatiq: Mr. Eyre Lloyd for the defendant. The plaintiff is a young lady, - about 17 years of age, au apprentice to Mews. Howell and James, in Regent-street, and the defendant is a chemist, carrying on business in the immediate neighbourhood. In November laat, the plaintiff, who was going out to make a purchase, was commissioned by Mir Gilbert., who was also in that establishment, to purchase her a pair of gloves, sod at the same time gave her half a sovereign. She purchased the gloves at Menus. Marshall sad Snelgrove's, receiving in change two half crowns, a florin, and threepence. She then went to the defendant's shop, and purchased a pot of cold cream and a cake of soap, which she paid for with one of the half•crowes, receiving le. 6d. in change. A few days after, the defendant accidentally met one of the young ladies of the establishment, and told her that one of their young women had purchased some cold cream at his shop and had given a bad half-orowa for it in payment. The defendant also went to Messrs. Howell and James and accused the plaintiff with having passed a bad crown piece at his shop. Mr. Hicks, one of the partners, subsequently went with the plaintiff to the defendant's shop, and he again stated that she bad passed a bad crown piece to his shopmsn, who did not discover it until after she had gone. Ile produced a bad crown piece, and threat ened to take a summons out against her for passing a bad half.crown, and at his request she gave him her name and address. The defendant did not take out the summons, and as he refused to apologise, this action was brought. Mr. Huddleston said be was ready then to accept an ample apology, but the defendant declined to give it. In crosi-examinatiou she said she never had passed a bad crown piece. Defendant said be had DO accusation to make against her, but he wished to test his young mares accuracy. Her re maining with Messrs. Howell and Jame depended on her clearing her character. After some discussion between his lordship and the learned counsel, in the course of which his lordship said the defendant had an opportunity of retiring from the case like a gentleman, Mr. Lloyd said he was instructed by the defendant to say he never intended to make any imputation against the young lady, sad to consent to a verdict of 404., which would carry costs. Mr. Justice Shee—lt must be understood that the young lady leaves the court without the slightest imputation on her character. Mr. Lloyd—Certainly. Mr. Justice Shee said he thought that all the persona connected with Mews. Howell and James's establishment bad acted in this case with great propriety. He said no thing about the defendant—he, no doubt, relied on what mole images had told him. Verdict for the plaintiff—damages 40a. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-ROUSE A lad 14 years old, named Ws.. IFintosh, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having "broke up." a term now well understood, it appears, by workhouse offi cials, and which, when translated, means wilfully destroy ing his clothing. Henry Bellawav, the superintendent of the limitless poor ward attached to the Est London Union, in Bishops gate-street, stated that on Thursday night about 6 o'clock, prisoner and 29 other men sod lads applied at the ward and wets admitted. Eseh of them was provided with a warm bath, and a pound of bread was then given to each of thew, and they ware also supplied with a clean shirt to sleep in. Yesterday morning the prisoner was called, with the others, sod told to dress himself, but instead of doing so, he tore his clothes into shreds, and he was provided with the canvas suit in which be now appeared, and the pattern of which had been suggested by Alderman Wilson, when • similar case was brought before him a short time ago. He had made some ioquiries about the prisoner, and had ascer tained that he bad " broke up" in a similar way about • week ego at Stepoey, and he bad done the same thing at Lambeth a short time before that. The Lord Mayor asked the prisoner what he had to say to the charge He replied that he did not deny what the officer bad stated, but it was oot true that be "broke up" at Stepney, it was at P?ytar. (A laugh.) The Loid Ma or—Thee 'caw are really very' puzzling to know what to do with them. If all we read be true, the prisoner would be treated better in gaol than he is in the workhouse. _ _ Kellaway stated that the offence of destroying the clothes was very much on the increase. The Lord Mayor said he was aware of it, but then the difficulty remained, what was to be does with snob persons? It appeared to him that it was utterly useless to send them tr isoo where they were better treated than in the' Kellaway said that be could assure hie lordship that the paupers were well taken owe of in the Feet London Union. The Lord Mayor said that if all the regulations were car ried oat, paupers lo union workhouses would no doubt be much better off, but the fact was they were not. In prisons, which were under the control of the Secretary of State, all the regulations were strictly eoforced, and the come queues was, he believed, that persons were much better off in a prison than they were in a workhouse. He did not, therefore, see that it would be of the slightest use to send the prisoner to gaol, and he should remand him, and consider what was the best amuse to be taken with regard to him. The prisoner, who seemed quite indifferent as to the re sult, was then removed. sopieWARK.

GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY. The following report has been issued by the Committee of Investigation into the affairs of this company : Committee Room, Bishopegate Statios, Jan. 19. It was not the intention of the Committee of Invest4a tion to hays presented another report previous to the half yearly meeting in February next. But in oonsequeoce of what occurred at the last meeting, and the action sober , quietly taken by the directors thereon, it has been deemed expedient to place the shareholders in possession of such further information as will enable them to determine their coarse of proceeding at the special geseral meeting which has been convened for the 25th inst. The resolution passed at the special general meeting, held on the 13th December, 1565, was as follows :—" That seeing the ruinous state into which the undertaking had been allowed to drift by the present directors, they be now requested to resign . On the 21st December, 1865, the board of directors communicated to the committee a resolution they bad come to, in the following terms : " With reference to the Bth resolution passed at the extra ordinary general meeting of the proprietors, held on the 13th December, it was resolved that the directors whose names are subscribed hereto are prepared to vacate their offices in aocordanoe with the resolution above referred to, and to remain in office so long only as it may be necessary for the keeping alive the requisite number of directors. That in adopting this course toe directors are influenced by the necessity of attention being given to the financial posi tion of the company, and upon the understanding that the committee will take upon themselves the duty of attending tofthe company's finances, in which the directors will be prepared to afford any cooperation that the committee may desire.—lames Goodson, Geo. P. Bidder, Horatio Love, J. A. T. Smyth, James Packs, Samuel Anderson." Under these ciroutostanoes the committee, recognising the importance of that portion in the directors' resolution, wherein they are called upon to " take upon themselves the duty of attending to the company's finances," considered it their first ditty to ascertain as far as possible the exact position and requirements of the company, at the date referred to, and having done which, requested the board to convene • special meeting to fill up five of the vacancies in the direction, it being that nine directors should remain so as to constitute a 1 board. It will be observed that six only of the eight directors elected by the share holders, to whom the resolution of the 13th ultimo appeared to apply, have signified their intention to retire, Captain Jervis and Mr. G. Josselyn having declined doing so. The resolution of the shareholders in its terms applied to all the directors, but it is for these gentlemen to explain the grounds an which they refuse to act upon it, and your com mittee, however,state that in • communication received from the board of the Great Eastern Railway, it is alleged that questions connected with the Eastern Union affairs will place those gentlemen in direct antagonism to the interests of the company ; and this statement is confirmed by the company's solicitors, the committee receiving the following,letter thereon :—" 57, Coleman-street, London, E.C., sth January, Isd6.—Sir,—We return herewith the letter you banded to us from Captain Jervis, on the subject of the contents of • letter addressed to you by the chairman of the Great Eastern Railway Company, in which it is stated that questions connected with the Eastern Union affairs will place Captain Jervis and Mr. Josselyn in direct antagonism to the interests of the Great Eastern Railway Company. We have no difficulty in stating that such questions must necessarily arise, and we think it is only necessary to refer to a letter addressed by Mr. John H. Josselyn, as solicitor to the liquidation committee, to Mr. Owen, of the 23rd ult., to show that such questions bays already arisen. We do not consider it convenient, at the present moment, to go into any details as to the questions referred to, as an investigation is now in progress with a view to their elucidation ; but, on reference to the con cluding portion of Mr. John H. Jorselyn's letter, it will be seen that it is contemplated to make the Great Eastern Railway Company press to snit to which the liquidation committee will also be parties ; and, also, that that com mittee decline complying with the demand of the Great Eastern Railway Company to have • conveyance of the surplus property of the late Eastern Unice Company, which, in our opinion, was most improperly conveyed away the day before the Amalgamation Act received the royal sssent.— We are, sir, yours very obediently, Maynard, Son, and Co.—C. H. Turner, Esq." Five members, constituting a portion of this hoard, who are elected from Northern and Eastern and Rest Anglian boards, consider that they do not come within the scope of the resolution. Referring to the paragraph of the former report relating to the appoint ments of • general manager, engineer, and locomotive superintendent, the committee have had no reason to alter the opinion then imperials', but, on the contrary, consider that as early as possible after the reconstruction of the board, their views should be carried out; that is that a gene- ral nienager,an official hitherto nonexistent on your railway, should be appointed, and that the engineering and locomo tive departments should for the future be separated. Ups the proposed arrangement between this company and that of toe Great Northern Railway Company, the committee consider that an arrangement, if founded upon sound com mercial principles, would be highly desirable for both parties, hut they would suggest that for the present, considering the large oulay necessary, and the uncertain character of the advantages supposed to be secured to this company, any proceedings for giving effect to it shout.' be surpauded. Upon the financial condition of the company the committoe confirm all they stated in their preliminary report, with the addition that further investigation compels them to state (although they do not consider that it would be to the interest of the shareboldeis to go into further details on the present occasion) that the financial affairs of the company are in an unsatisfactory condition, for which the respon sibility rests upon past administrations, and, as • consequence, great difficulties will be thrown upon any future direction in placing them upon • sound and wholesome basis. The majority of the board having resigned, the proprietors will at once recognise the altered and onerous position of the committee, who, after having acquired • thorough knowledge of the sffairs of the company, with • view to its future prosperity, are tusani piously of opinion that it will not conduce to the interests of the shareholders at the present time, or assist in deve- loping the company's resources for the future, to publish the evidence, which might seriously embarrass important pending negotiations. The committee, however, have no hesitation instating their opinion that, although the holders of the ordinary stock must for a time, they fear, be content to remain without dividend, they believe that all the exist ing preference stocks and mortgage debts of the company are effectually secured, and this view is confirmed by their accountants, Messrs. Coleman, Turquand, Youngs, and Co. The committee feel it a pleasing pert of their office to report that in the course of their inquiry they have re ceived every courtesy and assistance from the various officers of the company, but, without wishing to make any invidi ous distinction, would consider that they did not fulfil their duty were they to omit to state that during this protracted inquiry they have received from Mr. Owen, the secretary, most valuable assistance, without which the labours of the committee would have been much increased, and • vast amount of information (very useful for future application) been withheld. The committee do not consider it within their province to give any opinion upon the controversy between Captain Jervis and his colleagues, further than that if such • condition of circumstances had not arisen the shareholders, in all probability, would have remained in a state of ignorance as to the condition of their affairs. Upon the future prospects of the company the com mittee are of opinion that although its present con dition is as unsatisfactory as any mercantile under taking could well be, they believe that with an entire revision of the management ; encouragement of friendly relationship with neighbouring companies ; • suspension of new engagements as far as practicable ; a rigid economy in all departments ; and taking into consi deration the elasticity of the trade of the country, that there is yet • brighter future for this hitherto unfortunate company. In conclusion, the committee hope that in now resigning the tips& reposed in them as • imintaittee of inves t tigation, the labours they have expended upon year affairs will not prove educates, either for present or future par poses, and they believe that the knowledge they have obtained in the course of their inquiry may be applied most i usefully in the interests of the company, if you should think it right to pies, them in the administrative position of directors ; at the same time the committee are perfectly sensible that no efforts they may make and no knowledge I they possess can be of any real utility notes' the confidence of the proprietary is cordially given to them.-0, H.
