The 2.ljutheation had been disputed on the ground that the debt was either due from Edgley alone, who bad COD ducted all the Stock Exchange transactions, or was a debt of the fins of Edgley and Watts. The else was argued by Mr. Reed, in support of the adjudiction; and by Mr. Lawre.nce, against it. His Honour, after reviewing the circumstances of the Co., Mile to the conclusion that the debt was not insuffi cient to support the adjudication ; and as the trading and act of bankruptcy were not in dispute, the adjudication meet he confirmed. He did this without much reluctance, it wan quite clear that Mr. Watts was not a solvent lan, and must have recourse either to bankruptcy or avngement. Mr: Lawrence uked that the advertisement in the ecette should be stayed, and, Mr. Reed oonsent 4 ng, a !wiaight's delay was granted. IN Re JTIHR ORRE'LL LITER.

Emig. THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 30, 1867. ing the reply, " Nothing," he certainly did all out to the policeni.in, " Why don't you let her go ? " Sir Thomas Henry said a boy like that had no busi ness to interfere with the police, especially as it was clear that he knew nothing of the circumstances. If he thought the police were ill.treating the woman, he should make a compLaint to the inspector at the station. The public, especially the rougher portion, were too ready to interfere with the police and by doing so without information were very apt to be in wrong. Mr. Searle, the superintendent of the E division, said that for some time past there had been nightly assem blages of boys and other idlers in consequence of • foolish rumour that • ghost was to be seen in Woburn-square. Crowds gathered at nightfall, and continued whooping and bellowing, romping and quarrelling, until a late hour. On the present occasion he happened to be passing, and witnessed the occurrence. Thecoustable was certainly not exceeding his duty. The woman was drunk and very dis orderly, and the prisoner's interference was most unneces sary. There were great complaints from the inhabitants of the square of the annoyance created by these disturbances. Two gentlemen who had witnessed the disturbance from the baloonies of their respective houses, confirmed Mr. Searie's statement. The disturbance was chiefly created by boys like the prisoner. One of them had caught three of the ycong rioters, but had let them go on their promise " not to do it again." In answer to Sir Thomas Henry, the prisoner said he was working for a carpenter, but not apprenticed to him. Sir Thomas Henry said he could not allow this to go on. He should put the prisoner back for a time, and send for his master, to be bound for his good behaviour for three months. _ _ Subsequently the master attended, and wu bound over in the sum of 101. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. !STEALING A DANK NOTL --- Henry Moulder, servant to Mr. Harman Crisewood, a gentleman residing at No. 4, Audley-square, South Audley street, was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a 10/. note the property of his master. The evidence showed that a few weeks ago Mr. Grim wood placed some money in a drawer, leaving the drawer unlocked, and on his subsequently going to the drawer he missed the 10/. note in question. Mr. Griaewood insti tuted inquiries respecting the note, which was subse quently traced to have been paid by the prisoner to Mr. George Loader, of the Green Dragon-yard, King-street, Regent-street, the prisoner having given it to him to change to settle a small debt he owed him. The prisoner was then taken into custody by Sergeant Hance, 5 C. The prisoner made no answer to the charge. Mr. Grisewood strongly recommended the prisoner to mercy, stating that he had been a very good servant. Mr. Knox said that but for the interference of the prosecutor he would have sent the prisoner for the full term. As it was he would be committed for three months with hard labour. WANDSWORTH. SINGULAR CASE OF MASQUERADING. Rolwrt Page Vernon, who described himself as an engraver, was re-examined on the charge of begging in the lialham-reed, Streatham, on the Oaks day. It will be remembered that when the prisoner was brought before the magis tr ate on Saturday last he was dressed in a woman's nightgown, which completely enveloped his person, night cap, drawers, and flesh - co loured stockings. He was now dressed in male attire, and bad the appear ance of a respectable young man. The constable said be had made inquiries at the address the prisoner gave in New-street-square, Fleet-street, and found that ho had left a month ago. Witness had not been able to trace out where he lived. He found some cards which the prisoner left behind him at his lodgings in New-street-square, and they bore the name of " Bob Morris, champion of the light weights." The prisoner said the cards were not his own, they be longed to his friends. The constable said he bad been to the places which the prisoner had stated he used, but the persons knew nothing of him. The prisoner said they all reepeeted him. He merely put on the clothes for a joke. Mr. Dayman said it was a most unmanly and improper joke to put on the disguise of a woman. Prisoner—l have suffered enough for it. Mr. Dayman—l think you have not. It appears that nothing satisfactory can be found out about you. (To the constable)—Did he have anything with him at the time he was begging? The constable—He bad a carrot. Prisoner—Yes, you spoke to me about it, and I gave it to a horse to eat. The constable, on being further questioned, said the prisoner bad a black hat which he held out to persons when he was begging, and he also had some money upon him. The , pritmner maid the hat was thrown to him from a "bus,' and the money was given to him by his friends. He was entirely at the magistrate's mercy, and he was very sorry for what he had done. . It was also stated that the prisoner was dressed in a similar manner on the Derby-day, and he then carried • piece of earthenware in his hand. Complaints were made about him, and he was watched for on the Friday. The prisoner said no one warned him that he was doing wrong. Mr. Doman then ordered him to find two sureties in the sum of 10/. each for his good behaviour for one month. The prisoner was locked up in default. BOARD OF TRADE RETURNS.-(THIS DAY.) The Board of Trade returns for the month ending 30th April have been issued. The follow ing shows the declared value of the exports of British and Irish produce and manufactures for the month of April in the last three years : 41 4 1, 1865 £12,071,111 „ 1866 „ 1867 For the four months ended April 30 in the last three years the returns are : April, 1863 847,706,818 „ 1866 „ 1867 It appears from a parliamentary return issued to-day, that since the 16th of July last, Lord Derby's government have appointed no lees than 323 new justices of the peace. The names of those appointed in each city and borough in Baghuid and Wales are given in the return. A four-horse coach is about to run between Vent nor and Freshwater. In the neighbourhood of the latter place is the seat of the poet laureate. A TRADFJ3MAN STABSED AT BOLTON. —A shock ing affair took place at Bolton early yesterday morning. Mr. Thomas Settle, spindle and fi y maker, Mr. John Pear sall, and others, on Monday night were drinking together at St. George's Tavern. Conversation turning upon Ame rica, Mr. Pearsall, who had resided in the United States, imparted some of his experiences, upon which Mr. Settle, who is the inventor of • new spindle,: gave him • poke with the spindle, asking if he bad ever seen anything like that in America. A struggle ensued, but, others interfering, quiet was restored, and the parties afterwards left the house. Oa his way home, Mr. Settle was pursued by Mr. Pearsall, who took hie arm, and, immediately afterwards the former felt several slashes on his face, and found him self fearfully wounded. Pearsall then made off, but he was apprehended yesterday, and will be brought before the magistrates to-day. THE FAILCILEB IN THE IRON TRADE. —Yesterday • meeting of the creditors in the three estates respectively of Messrs. Ambrose, Beard, and Boos, Messrs. Beard and Thomas, both iron-making firms of Bilston, and Messrs. J. S. Smeeth and Co., of Wednesbury, was held in Bilston. It was the most numerous meeting of creditors that has been held in South Staffordshire for some years. The liabilities of the first,named concern were set down at about 50,0001., of the second 17,0001., and of the third 4,000(., making • total of about 71,0001. The deficiency on the first was 3,50 W.; on the second, 13,500/. ; and on the third, 2,0001. The liabilities were to a very great extent upon bills. The accounts were not drawn up by an accountant, and were in a rough and almewit tangled condition ; and the banker to the concern stated that be did not believe that the insolvents had one-third the bills running that they had imagined, and had set down. Mr. Lookart, of the firm of Lockart and Tozer, of Liverpool, silvocated the putting, of the three estates into bankruptcy, whereby, be said, questions could be put which it was desirable should be answered. Men of experience, however, expressed it as their conviction that if the concerns went into bankruptcy they would also go into Chancery, by which all the assets would be swallowed up. It was eventually arranged that the estates should be assigned to five creditors who should thoroughly investigate the a ff airs, take step s to prevent the sacrifice of the property by creditors who already have writs out, amongst whom are Messrs. Lockart and Tozer, and report to a future meeting. THE HORSE SHOW AT BIRMINGHAM. —The entries for the horse show closed on Tuesday. In addition to • good show of foxhounds, there will be about 250 horses exhibited, • number sufficient to fill every available part of Bingley Hall. On account of there being fewer classes for agricultural hones, the managers will be enabled to allow more span for the valuable hunter' and hacks. The entrance fees having been doubled since last year, a more valuable lot of horses will be exhibited than formerly. The classification being so varied, we are unable to com pare the number of entries with those of het year, but we believe the entries of hunters to be extremely good.— Birmingham Post.

THE CATTLE PLAGUE IN THE METROPOLIS. At a Court of Common Council holden this morning, Mr. DRESSER Rooms, addressing the chairman d the Metropolitan Cattle Market, said he should be glad to be informed whether it was true that the cattle plague bed broken out to any extent in the metropolis. Mr. Rupeix said he was sorry to inform the court that the cattle plague had broken out in a most virulent form almost all over the metropolis, with the exception of the city of London. The committee had met that morning, and had re-appointed their inspectors, and they would do all in their power to prevent the disease from spreading to the City of Lon don. Orders in Council had been issued by the govern. ment, one of which would have the effect of preventing foreign cattle from being driven through the streets of the metropolis to the Cattle-market, and they would be con veyed direct to the market by railway. The subject then dropped. CALCUTTA AND SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY. (THIS DAY.) The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders wu held at noon at the offices, 211, Gresham-house ; Mr. JOHN BOHRADAILE in the chair. The report, which was issued some time before, having been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN moved its adoption. He was sorry that be could not congratulate the meeting on a oontinuance of the position attained last year, namely, that of nearly meeting the charges. There was a deficiency of 2,4001. The loss of the jettyhmi produced considerable injury, and the famine had also diminished the traffic. One effect of the loss of the jetty was a suspension of building operations in Canning ; but the Canning Company was going on favour ably and enabled to pay a small dividend ; and he hoped that before long the shipping facilities afforded at the port would attract a considerable number of vessels. A SHAREHOLDER remarked on the increase in the work ing expenses from 2111. to ?291. per working mile in 1865, and inquired what was the cause of it. The CHAIRMAN replied that he feared the cost of the maintenance of the way would continue to increase rather than diminish, but the per eentage of the general charges was augmented by the diminution of traffic. In reply to a question, The CHAIRMAN intimated that the loss to which he had alluded could not fall on the capita, or affect the guaran teed dividend; but if there were any surplus profits here after it would come out of them. _ After some further discussion the report was adopted, and the proceedings terminated in the usual way. THE FATAL OMNIBUS ACCIDENT IN VICTORIA STP2ET. Mr. St. Clair Bedford, the Westminster coroner, Feld an inquest last evening at the Westminster Hospital respecting the death of John Dott, aged 46 years. The deceased was the driver of a Favorite omnibus, and on last Friday afternoon, at a quarter past 4 o'clock, he was driving his omnibus up Victoria street. When within a short distance of the railway terminus he turned round in his seat for the purpose of fastening the apron strap. The sudden movement caused him to lose his balance, and he was thrown off the box and fell between the horses. liefore he could be rescued one of the wheels of the omni bus passed over his body. He was canied to the hospital, where he expired in two hours from rupture of the liver. There was a suspicion that the deceased had been seised with a fit, but there was no evidence to prove the fact. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death." Yesterday Lord Warkwortb, eon of Earl Percy, and grandson of the Duke of Northumberland, came of age, and, says the Leeds Mercury," the event was cele brated in a manner worthy of the princely munificence which has so long distinguished the descendants of the Percys. At Alnwick the old castle, which was restored and beautified by the late duke at a fabulous cost, was the scene of hospitality more akin to that of an earlier age than to anything th►t is commonly witnesesed in these prosaic times. More than two thousand of the retainers of the decal horse were conveyed to Alnwick and feasted in the castle, whilst elsewhere throughout the county all in any way connected with the noble family were enabled to celebrate the day in a suitable manner." Having seen the official answer of the committee of retiree&ll's to a request from the principal bookmakers for a new trial in the Soiled Dove case, Admiral Rous writes to the committee to point out the numerous errors which he coeeeives they have committed. With respect to their re solution, " That a decision of the Soiled Dove case baying been already come to by a legal quorum of the committee, they cannot allow it to be reopened," the gallant admiral denies that the quorum was legal—first, because it was composed of persons some of whom had the misfortune to possess a pecuniary interest in the case ; and secondly, because persons voted who did not belong to the committee. THE FENIAN CONVICTS AND THE BIRMINGHAM MELORTAL.—The following letter bas been DOM to US for publication, as a proof that the Queen is very easily acces sible to the petitions of the people in any matter on which they feel real earnestness. At a reform meeting held in Buckingham-square, in this town, on Saturday evening last, acetition praying that thelife of the Fenian convict, Burke, might be spared, was hurredly improvised and signed, and as hurredly sent off by post th at night t o the R ig ht Hon. Spencer H. Walpole, at Balmoral, for presentation to her Majesty. The document was not printed on satin ; there were no elegant borders, nor illuminated initials to it ; but it was soiled by the unw ashed hands of many of the signa tories, and blurred with the rein which fell while the meet ing was being held. There was not leisure for attending to niceties. It has given the niemorialiste—artisans most of them—much pleasure to receive as prompt an answer a. could have been given to the most elaborately prepared memorial, presented by the most powerful other Majesty • subjects. The memorial being despatched on Saturday night, the following reply was written on Sunday : " Balmoral, May 26, 186 T.—Rev. Sir,—l beg to acknow ledge the receipt of your letter, and the memorial by which ft was accompanied. The Queen is now out, but I will take care that the memorial is laid before her Majesty se soon as she returns. Meanwhile I have the satisfaction to assure you that the prayer of your memorial is, in fact, answered by anticipation : for the sentence passed on the Fenian rebels has been commuted to penal servitude for life —I have the honour to be, sir, your obedient humble servant, S. H. WALPOLIL—The Rev. Arthur O'Neill."— Birmingham Post. THE HERRING Irfanzfeo.—The North Sea herring' fishing by boats from the Tyns was commenced on Monday night ; and on Tuesday morning 50 boats brought about 200,000 plump full-grown herring into Shields Harbour. They were sold at North Shields by auction at from Is. lid. to 2s. 10d. per 100, mostly to local buyers; but buyers were expected from the month yesterday. A considerable number of Scotch, Lowestoft, Yarmouth, and Northum berland boats are engaged in this fishing, as well from Hartlepool as the Tyne. By the end of the week it is expected that fully 100 sail of large boats will be fishing from the Tyne alone. Three years ago the early summer herring fishing was never followed by boats from the north-eastern ports ; bat now a most lucrative business with the London and large markets in the interior is rapidly opening through the carrying out of this new branch of maritime industry. THE HAY CROP IN IRELAND. —We have the satisfaction of stating that the abundance of herbage in almost every vuiety of pasture land has already made rapid improvement In the condition of stock. The bare nese of keep, even is the best farmyards, caused owners of cattle to send them out to the grass fully a fortnight sooner than usual ; but that has not had the slightest effect on pastures. Every field looks beautifully green, and, in the greet majority of cases, cattle literally wade through the grass. In connexion with this gratifying state of affairs, we have the prospect of one of the most ample yields of upland hay ever produced in Ire land. The early meadows look exceedingly well, and if the weather sets in line, so as to give farmers the opportunity of " winning" and harvesting the crop, there will be cheap and abundant fodder for the coming ' winter. Late meadows give promise of large turns-out, and the harvest for such grass will be fully a month earlier than usual. All this cannot fail to give still further impetus to the rearing of farm stock ; and now that the actual value of Ireland's horned cattle rune close up to 40 millions, the prospect of an abundant crop of hay be comes cgocially in9ortaat.-IVorthera Whig. THE DRESS CIRCLE" AT PARDL—Be it known that ladies' evening dresses are now made with beautiful landscapes printed on the skirts. But we are led to make this reflection. All artiste seem to agree that the human form in its utmost simplicity, and especially the female form, which is seen in this very Exhibition in every pos sible pose and of every possible material, on canvas, in bronze, in marble, in terra ootta, in biscuit china, he. is the very acme of all beauty. Of wh a t use arc all th ose decorations which do not tend to set it off, but only to attract attention from it to the ornaments themselves? A landscape hung on a wall is in its place, but hung on • woman it is simply an impertinence, and degrades humeri dignity in the IMMO way as the tarpaulin coat with white letters of the walking London advertisement.. The great enemy of costume is fashion ; and while nothing deserves greater respect than the lay figures attired in perennial peasant dresses, we 14,14 with little heed the inventions of azean milliners for diving into the pockets that pay for the ephemeral decorations of the monde and demi-monde. Above all, the present fashion of trains and slight skirts is an insult to all ladies who are not " carriage people," and ' far more objectionable than the much- crinolines, which did enable a woman to walk. The next step in the same direction, if • step it can be called in any sense, would be the adoption of the little c l u b f ee t of Mines; I belles, by means of some operation undergone under the influence of chloroform.—Blod wood's Magazine for May.

This, the first bonalule county match of the season 1867, and the seereadannualappearance of the eleven of the county palatine in the metropolis, commenced this morning at the Oval. The weather was all that cricketers could possibly desire, and the condition of the wickets and other accessories was unexceptionable. Neither Iddison nor Reynolds put in an appearance, another result of the un fortunate "schism," it is said. The latter, we regret to bear, is suffering from inflammation of the kidneys. Lanca shire won the toss, and elected to take first innings. which commenced as near twelve o'clock as possible. They sent to the wickets C. Coward and Ricketts, opposed to the bowling of Whale and Griffith, the latter delivering slows from the Pavilion end. Coward soon gave the Surrey men a taste of his quality, and in about as many minutes put 20 runs on the score, while his partner made 5 ; he cut Whale for 4 twice, and indeed hit very freely all round. The Blows not being found to pay, Griffith at 30 sub stituted his fast bowling, which, in the second over proved fatal to C. Coward, who was well taken 'oehind by Pooley. This was a good commencement, one wicket for 31 runs, of which the retiring batsman had booked 21 by some excellent hitting for which he was applauded. Mr. E. B. Rowley joined R icketts, who is one of the Lancashire colts of the present year, and a very promising one too. The batsmen elevated the score to 50, when another change of bowling (Sewell for Griffiths) took place. At 1 o 'clock, when our despatch left the Oval, the wore stood as follows : LANCASHIRE.—Fiasr !salsas. Ricketts, n C. Coward, c Pooley, b Griffith not out Mr. E.

THE TURP.—" Patinerworrn" writes to the Times: —"What • solemn mockery of justice is it to hunt down the street bookmaker, to erred the ordinary public-house gambler, to come down with the full force of the police on the low betting-houses, when there is not • • tout,' one single professed better at ' the bar,' one keeper of a betting house, who could not recite by the hour true stories equal to any of his own, with which the law never meddles, because it is done by some of the noble and wealthy patrons of the turf ! You have alluded to the practice of ' friends' making profit out of young men who have hardly yet grown their earliest ' book' fea thers. Why, sir, who on earth thinks of sparing • friend in squaring his book ? I am an utter unbe- Hever in any turf brotherhood—sceptical as to father hood ; I am satisfied it would be no heavy social sin for brother to win from brother on private information ; I never heard of father and eon practising on each other, but, by commission, I can easily conceive it quite likely, nor should I expect to hear it much reprobated. Where tte remedy may be for this state of things I know not. So long as noblemen and gentlemen lend their aid to support what no one can defend, the thing will go on. If some 8,0001. is well laid out to secure • lad doing that best to win which he is hired to do at the ordinary wages of hie calling, I cannot doubt that if winning on an outsider can be so subsidised, the same sytem will be very efficacious in procuring the losing by a favourite. Broken blood-vessels will be at • premium ; it will require no great stable ingenuity to make them o: simulate them to order.' MONEY MIRENT.-(THIET DAY.) Chrs o'OLooz. The markets for public securities are buoyant to-day, and the general course of prices is upwards. The amount of business is considerable, though attention is still directed to the fortnightly settlement. It is thought that the expected announcement this afternoon of a reduction in the Bank rate of discount may perhaps be followed by some with drawals of deposits from the joint stock banks and discount establishments, since their allowance will be only about If per cent. Consols are accord ingly in strong request upon the prospect of in creased investments from this source, and exhibit a further rise of per cent. The Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cents. are higher, and the upward movement extends to British railways and foreign stocks. Spanish Passive Bonds and Certificates are in especial request, upon rumours that the ar rangements for a settlement of these debts are making satisfactory progress. London and West minster Bank shares have experienced an impor tant advance, in consequence of the notification of the proposed issue of new shares at 101. prem. There is very little business in the discount market, bills being generally kept back in expecta tion of the Bank rate being reduced this afternoon from 3to 2} per cent. ; the directors, however, will not meet till 2 o'clock, this being Ascension day. The charge for choice paper is 2,1 per cent., with occasional transactions at 2f. Consols are now quoted 04} to with div., for money, and 921 to l„ ex div., for the ac count (June 6), and the Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cents., 921 to 0. The Indian Five per Cent. Stock is firm, at 111 i to 112. The government broker has bought to-day 13,0001. New Three per Cents. for the sinking fund, and he bid 76,1 for a parcel of New Two-and- Half per Cents., but the dealers asked 77. The foreign stock market is extremely firm. Spanish Passive Bonds have advanced 11 per cent.; Turkish of 1862, 1 ; ditto of 1865 and Spanish Cer tificates, ; Italian of 1861, 1, dc. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 57} to 58} ; ditto Five per Cents. of 1865, 32, 3 , to ; Greek, 14!., to ; Spanish Passive, 241 . • to I ; ditto Certificates, 151 i to ; Italian of 1861, 52g to ; Mexican, 161 to 17,t. American securities and Atlantic Cable shares show no change of importance.

Financial and miscellaneous shares are steady. International Financial are quoted 21 to 2 dis. ; General Credit, 2 to 11 dis. ; Credit Fonder, 6 to 51 die. ; London Financial, 22 to 21 dia.; Hud son's Bay, 161 to ; and National Discount, 71 to a prem. London and Westminster Bank shares are in I active demand, and have advanced about W., the I present quotation being 105 to 110. Imperial Ottoman are steady, at 1 to 011 dis., and Alliance at 14 to 8i dis. A petition for the winding up of the South of France Wine-Growing Districts Company (Limited) is to be heard before the Master of the Rolls on the Bth of June. It is notified that the dividend declared at the annual meeting of Claridge's Patent Asphalte Company, held in Paris on the 24th instant, i s now in the course of payment. The Agra Bank (Limited) is now prepared to anticipate payment of its promissory notes falling due on the 15th July next under rebate of the in terest which the notes carry. About 113,0001. in gold was taken to the Bank yesterday, making an aggregate of 573,0001. since the date of the last return, while there have been no withdrawals whatever for export. In the matter of Overend, Gurney, and Co. (Limited), there were some further proceedings yesterday in Vice-Chancellor Melina' chrmbers, be fore Mr. Buckley, the chief clerk. It has been discovered that the call made some time back by the Vice-Chancellor was irregular, as, under a volun tary liquidation, calls must be m a de by the liqui dators. Yesterday upwards of 2,300 summonses came on for payment of the further 101. call, which represents a total of one million. Mr. Linklater appeared on behalf of the Defence Association, and explained to the chief clerk that, according to the last report and statement of accounts furnished by the liquidators, there was a deficiency of assets amounting to only 60,0001. He urged that it is very unjust that, while the appeal to the House of Lords is pending, so large a sum should be de manded from the unfortunate shareholders, and he intimated that the case for decision before the Law Lords is now quite complete, and that he confidently expects a final judgment to be given in the course of a couple of months. The chief clerk adjourned the summons into Chambers, to be heard before Vice-Chancellor Mains to-morrow (Friday), at 4 p.m. In the event of his Honour's decision being adverse, the Defence Association have determined to argue the question before the Lords Justices. It will be remembered that the shareholders, who have fully established their case of fraud, paid originallyto the company 1,500,0001., and the liquidators have only just completed the collection of a recent call of another million. Close upon two millions and a half have consequently been obtained from this unfortunate proprietary and wholly engulphed. It seems only reasonable, therefore, that the shareholders should ask for some indulgence under existing circumstances, especially considering that, as above stated, the liquidators show so small a deficiency of assets. Moreover, it may ultimately be discovered that the shareholders are not liable at all. We are authorised to state that the directors of the London and Westminster Bank will, at the next meeting in July, recoiamend to the proprie tors the issue of 50,000 new shares, upon which 201. per share will be called tic during the following eighteen months, thus raising the paid-up capital of the bank to 2,000,0001. They will also recom mend that the above shares be offered to the pro prietors, share for share, at 101. premium, and that this premium, amounting to 500,0001., be added to the reserved fund, raising it to 1,000.0001.—a sum, in the opinion of the directors amply sufficient for all the functions it is intended to perform. Thence forward the whole of the net earnings of the bank will consequently be available for distribution among the proprietors. Most of the railway traffic returns published this week will show a considerable comparative falling off, in consequence of the corresponding returns for last year including the traffic of Whit week. The London and North Western return shows a decrease of 10,6811., and the Midland a decrease of 3,2551. At the meeting yesterday of the English Bank of Rio de Janeiro (Limited) the net profit for the year was stated at 52,1081. A dividend of Gs. per share, free of income tax, amounting to 15,0001., was paid in November last, and it is in tended to divide a similar amount on the 10th of June next, making a total distribution of 6 per cent. for the year. The balance-22,108:.—is to be carried to the reserve fund. The traffic receipts of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway for the first week in May amounted to 103,828 dole., against 06,054 dole. in the corresponding period last year, showing an increase of 7,774 dole. The half-yearly ordinary meeting of the Imperial Continental Gas Association was held at the Lon don Tavern, on Tuesday, the 28th instant, when a dividend of 2'. 10s. per share and a bonus of 11. per share (making together N. 10s. per share) were declared upon the 28,000 shares of the association for the half-year ending the Slat December last, payable, free of income tax, on the 10th of June next. The preparations yesterday for to-day's settle ment in the railway market showed generally a very limited supply of B , ock, especially as regards Great Eastern, Great Western, Lancashire and York shire, South Eastern, Midland, and Brighton. For the loan of the latter stock till the next settlement a " backwardation" or bonus of per cent. was given in the afternoon.
