LaA "OLD MASTERMAN'S BANS.—(THIS DAY.) An extraordinary, general meeting of the share holders of this bank was held it the London Tavern this dxy, to pass a resolution to wind up the company volun - WAY- Oa the motion of Colonel DALZILL, Colonel Holland, one of the directors, took the chair. The meeting was nume mealy attended. The Camas/AK said if the Court of Chancery could be bd ee ed to consent to the voluntary winding-up, it wo uld be of great consequence to the shareholders, but this it would hardly do if the shareholders disagreed a mong themselves. This was not the time to go into the eatlaell of the downfall of the bank—that matter would come on in due time. He might, however, observe that the directors and their immediate relatives held 1-6th of the shares of the capital of the bank, and in addition to that had a large amount deposited in the bunk. The row mtion that would. be proposed had been carefully framed a a was in accordance with the act of parliament. It might be said that there was something in it that would p r event a resuscitation of the bank, but they had had advice on that and were advised that there was nothing in it that would prevent a resuscitation of the bank to-morrow. The figures would show that there was a prospect of re suscitation at no distant, and he hoped in a very short, period. But unanimity was the one thing that was essential. He moved that—" It is resolved that it has been proved to the satisfaction of this meeting that the company cannot by reason of its liabilities continue its business, and that it is desirable to wind up the same ; and it is further resolved that the Court of Chancery be applied to in order to the voluntary winding-up of the company under the supervision of the court." General BOILEAU seconded and Sir Mosi•vcoatat sup ported the motion. Mr. Casa/at, the accountant, then read the following statement of assets and liabilities. Estimated amount of liabilities in London, 5,1541,02/. Against this there are assets, after writing off 864,0001. as loss, amounting to 15,1;7,5/ . .2/., shewing a deficiency in London of 128,400/. The total amount of liabilities at all the branohes—Paris, India, China and Australia amount to 2,850,8611., and the estimated value of the assets at all the branches, after deducting 3317,0001. loss, was 3,829,945/., showing • sur plus at the branches of 1,279,0014/. The total liabilities were 7,906.8tt4., and the assets 9,067,4971., showing a surplus of 1,150,604/., or within 50 , 0001 . of hree-fourths of the capital of the bank. Sir F. said it had fallen to his lot to become a trustee for a family largely and deeply . interested in this bank, and he possessed some interest in it himself ; and having been solicited to attend the meeting, he had agreed to do PO. The alternative of a voluntary winding up was a compulsory winding-up, the effect of which would be that their property would become the prey of the law. He had every confidence that the whole of the creditors would is paid in full. He learned with great satisfaction that creditors to the amount of between 3,000,000/. and 4,000,000/. co ncurred in this course. But above all things he im pressed on the meeting the necessity of unanimity in their proceedings this day. (Hear.) If they . were unanimous, and the court agreed to a voluntary winding-up, he saw no reason 'why they should not forthwith enter on the question of re-opening the bank. (Cheers.) The motion was then put and unanimously agreed to. Colonel DAIZZLL then moved, and tie. SIMMONA seconded, that Mr. Canaan be appointed as liquidator, which was also unanimously agreed to. A vote of thanks having been given to Sir F. Kelly for his able and judicious speech, and to the chairman, the meeting separated. THE TREATMENT OF THE SICK POOR. POOR-LAW INQUIRY.7(TIILS DAY.) This morning Mr. }arnal', C. 8., opened an in vestigation at the Paddington Workhouse, relative to the treatment of the sick poor in that establishment. Mr. Parnell said before the proceedings commenced ho wished to say he attended by order of the Poor-law Board to institute en inquiry into the truth of certain statements which were made by Mr. Ernest Hart to Earl Carnarvon, w h o communicated. with the Poor-law Board on the subject. A copy of the statements had been dent to the guardians of the Paddington Workhot s.. He would now examine Mrs. Bateman, the nurse of the workhouse, and the guardians could afterwards cross-examine her if they should think it necessary to do so. Mr. Montagu Bere, barrister, said he attended profes sionally on the occasion on behalf of the guardians, and he was instructed by them to express their strong desire that the commissioner should sift the matter of inquiry to the bottom to search for the truth. Every facility would be given by the guardians, and no obstruction would be thrown in Mr. Farnall's way. Mr. Parnell said the Archbishop of York attended, and be wished to know if the guar cans had any objection to his remaining in the board-room during the inquiry. Mr. Bere said the guardians could not have the slightest objection to the presence of the Archbishop of York, on the contrary, they wished to have him present. The Archbishop of York then entered the board-room, and was subsequently followed by the Earl of (.larnarvon. Jane Bateman—l was trained for three years in King's College Hospital as nurse. I entered on my duties at the Paddington workhouse on the 30th of April. No one here instructed me as to my duties. Mr. Fenian here remarked that there were three para graphs in the instructions of the Poor-law Board intended for nurses, and he would call the attention of the guar dians to the necessity of reading them to those officers. A Guardian asked the witness if the instructions had been placed in her hands. The witness replied in the negative. Guardian—Were they hung in your room Witness—Never. I had nothing to do with the female sick and infirm wards. I have seen three sick children, one with inflamed eyes, a second with water on the brain, and a third suffering from chicken pox, all sleeping together in one bed. This existed when I left, and all the other beds in the infirmary were full. When the medical officer saw the children in the day, two of them were up, and he was not made aware that the children so slept together. I did not know that it was my duty to report to the medical officer anything I knew to be wrong and I did not tell him. Ho knew the infectious diseases were warded with the others. All the cases of sick, the aged, the young, the infirm, the chronically and the acutely sick were all mixed up together from two to three in a bed, and I was told by one of the women that there had been as many as five in a bed. I have known an aged patient of dirty habits and covered with vermin warded with sick children. There were no night nurses, paid or pauper, for the wards. I had as many as 70 pa tients to attend to. I did not find out for some time that the woman was in the condition I have described, and then everybody told me what a dirty woman she was. [The inquiry was proceeding when our report left.] A very painful railway accident is reported froi SheffieliL It appears that a passenger by the Midland ex carrion train to Buxton, yesterday morning, on passing the works of Messrs. Firth and Sons, threw out several toppers. Some workmen who were standing near com menced scrambling for them, and at the same moment a mineral train came up, and ran over one of the poor fel lows, killing him on the spot. A letter from Rome of the 15th says :—" The suspicion with which prelates from Rome are looked on at Florence proved inconvenient to the Australian Arch bishop of Sydney, Dr. Folding, who, returning hence to England, was arrested in that city last week on the very evening of his arrival from Rome, but liberated on the following morning. Archbishop Cullen has arrived here in time for the approaching Consistory, at which he is to he raised to the rank of cardinaL The Earl and Countess 'a! Northesk, with their family and suite, left Rome on Monday for Florence and the north. The president of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in New York has preferred a com plaint against a merchant captain who arrived at that port with a cargo of turtles from the coast of Florida. The president in his affidavit swore " that in the hold of the captain's vessel a number of turtles were confined in a cruel manner by lying said turtles on their backs and having holes through their flesh and cords run through said holes for the purpose of securing said turtles." The captain has been held to bail. The counsel for the de fendant said that he should ask for the discharge of his client on the ground that the case does not come under the act by which the society was incorporated, as a turtle is not an animal but of the fish species.

For some time past the whole of the duties have been performed by the Rev. Mr. Bennett, curate. The latter, however, has for three weeks been absent on leave, and during that time no provision bad been made for tarrying in the service. The first two Sunday mornings the congrention, a miserably small one, waited for a long tune fora minister, but none appearing, a Sunday-school teacher read a portion of the prayers. Last Sunday morning five persons alone were present, and waited in the church, but no one appeared to conduct the service. The church is a handsome atone building erected only a few Yeoman, and the present occupant of the living, a com- Porotively young man, is the only clergyman who has filled the office. The living is worth 3,00/. a yoir. Representa tions are about to be made to the Bishop of Durham in truer that some steps may be taken to remove the present lamentable state of things.—Mancliester Esconiner.

Floating cargoes of grain were again rather dearer. Fine barley was quite IL per quarter higher than last week. Inferior kinds were unaltered in value. The show of samples was very. moderate. • Malt was in fair average supply, and steady request, at extreme rates. Although the importawere large oats were la. per quarter i Sher, with an active demand. a moved off steadily, at full quotations. The market for peas was firm.

Rennen, general manager of the Rhenish Railway, Cologne, by J. S. Forbes, general manager, London, Chatham, and Dover Railway, Victoria station :—" The communication to Hanover, Ham burg, Berlin, St. Petersburg, and Breslau is not interrupted." THE THVNDER-STORN IN THE METROTOLL3. Last night (Thursday) a thunder-storm of considerable violence, but not of long duration, passed over the metro polis, attended by deluging rain. Towards the after part of the day the air became very close, the thermometer marking 75 degrees in the shade ; and by 8 o'clock dense clouds accumulated, and hung over the metropolitan area. Before 9 p.m. the lightning commenced, and shortly after that hoar became vivid and intermittent. The rain fell so abundantly as to clog the gully-hole communications with the sewers, so that in many of the leading thorough fares large pools of water accumulated, and in several instances caused considerable inconvenience by finding its way into the arcs'. IDEATH OF THE EARL OT MAR.—Towards mid night on Tuesday last, John Francis, fourteenth Earl of I Mar, Lord Erskine, Garioch, and Alb*, Earl of Kellie, Viscount Fenton, Baron Dirleton, peacefully expired at Alloy House, 111 the seventy-first year of his age. The deceased nobleman was the inheritor of a peerage whose origin, according to Lord Kaimes, is lost in the mists of antiquity. The Erskines were established in the county of Clackmannan before they succeeded to the very ancient title of Mar, the family name of which was originally the same as that of the title—Mar. The origin of the title goes back at least as far as the time of Malcolm Canmore, for Martaeus, Earl of Mary wit ness to a charter of donation by that monarch to the Cul dees of Lochleven, of the manor of Kilgad-Earnoch, 1065. —Seatseselt. Tat ELECTION OF Seissirres.—Much interest exists in the City in reference to the forthcoming election of two sheriffs of London and Middlesex, which is to take place on Monday next. Alderman Waterlow, the senior alderman below the chair, who has not served, is a candi date ,• and there are two others, Mr. Francis Lyeett, a merchant, who has recently retired from business, and Mr. John Bennett. the watchmaker of Cheapside. It seems probable that there will be • very severe contest. • I taco fC 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 i 'lOO It 100 It. 100 It. 100 It. 1100 it. 100 It. 100 It. 100 94 96 93 95 93 95 77 79 77 79 99 101 109 104 109 104 103 105 86 89 101 103 104 106 102 104 103 106 101 103 104 106 97 100 92 94 92 94 96 98 94 96 74 76 97 99 96 98 104 106 102 104 I Pd.

S 29th inst. to settle the list of shareholders entitled to participate in the funds and wets of the Free Trade Benefit Building Society. Claimant, are to prove their claims before the official liquidator by the 27th inst. The result of the silk sales is noticed u follows in the circular issued by Messrs. Durant and Co. : The periodical public ilea commenced yesterday and are concluded. The quantity offered was about 1,000 bales Bengal, 2,500 bales China, 800 bales Japan, and 900 bales Canton. The whole was allowed to pass rapidly without any biddings, a result that had been fully antici pated. All the repressing influences of the last few weeks or months still exist more or leas in their fulness, so that we have `• no market." When we shall re-commence busi ness is still uncertain, whether in a week or a month no one can foretell. This state of things is almost without precedent, but the actual position of all consumers as to stocks is positively without precedent. Very few hold • month's consumption, many barely sufficient for a week. The return of the Bank of England for the week ending Wednesday, June 20, compared with that for the previous week, shows the following changes: Circulation issue £29,174,1 10 Increase r 478,43.5 Circulation active 25,106,790 Decrease 859,555 Public deposits LVS,344 Increase 161,375 Other deposits Government securities in banking department .

Owing chiefly to the large influx of private deposits, the reserve has again risen 1,228,7801., and has now reached 4,744,3301. There is at the same time a fresh increase of 369,22 W. in the coin and bullion, which argues a further reflux of coin front the provinces. That notes are also returning is further proved by tho diminution of 869,55 W. in the active circulation. Yet, in face of these highly satisfactory changes, the Bank directors persist in their refusal to reduco their rate of discount. 11,148,454 Increase W,OOO BANK OF 1 An Account pursuant to the Act week endow on Wedni3day, ENGLAND. 7th and b%h Vic., e. 32, for the , the 20th day of June, LW& ARTNIINT.

Miscellaneous secu rities were decidedly heavy, and the reduction in prices was more general than for some time past. The chief alteration was a fresh fall of no less than 10 per cent. in Italian Irrigation Six per Cent. Bonds.

The stock and share markets are slightly firmer to-day, owing chiefly to the favourable character of the returns of the Banks of England and France. The amount of business, however, is still limited, and very few variations have occurred in quotations. There is a alight demand for the funds, which have advanced 1-16 per cent. Some of the British lines are also better. A few of the foreign bonds, how ever, have declined, including Mexican, which have been unfavourably affected by the letter from Meson. Parings, stating that there are no funds in band applicable to the dividend due on the Ist proximo. The only change in financial shares is a fresh recovery of 2s. Gd. to sa. in International Financial. Banking shares and American securities are inactive. The discount market is quiet to-day, but the supply of money is rather limited, owing to the caution exercised by bankers. The general rate for good bills is 91 . 1 per cent., although transactions have occurred in paper ofjthe finest description at much lower rates, in anticipation of an important decline in the value of money during the next few week's. It is fairly considered that, looking at the striking improvement in the Bank of England accounts, the directors cannot delay a reduction in the minimum beyond a week or two, and that the sub sequent downward movements will be very rapid. The rate for short loans in tho Stock Exchange is 7 per cent. The changes in the Bank of France return are again 'satisfactory, compriaing an increase of 576,0001. in the coin and bullion, and a decrease of 302,000/. in the bills discounted. Consols are now quoted 85 to 86, ex div., for money, and 86k, or 86 3-16 to 5-16, for tho account (July 10). The dealings in foreign stocks are unimportant, and prices generally have not varied. Mexican Bondi and Spanish Certificates are dull, and have declined I to 1; per cent. respectively. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are now quoted 50 to 52 ; ditto of 1865, 261 to g ; Greek, 10 to It ; Spanish Passive, 18f to 19 ; ditto Certificates, 141 to ; Italian of 1861, asi to 2 ; Brazilian scrip, 5 to 44 dis. ; and Mexican, 141 to American securities exhibit no change. 5-20 Bonds are now quoted 65A to Ir ; Erie Railway shares, 41 to it ; and Illinois Central, 752 to 761. International Financial shares are now quoted 22 to 2i dis ; London Financial, 18l to 18 dia. ; General Credit, 3/1 to 2i dis. ; Credit Foncier, 31 to 2i dis.; and National Discount, 64 to 7 prem. HALF-PAST THREE 0 CLOCI Consols are rather firm, at 85f to 86, ex div fcr mor.ey, and 86f to 11, ox div., for the account About 16,0001. in gold has been withdrawn from tho Bank to-day for exportation. At Paris this morning the Three per Cent. Relates opened at 62.75, being if per cont. better. Bankers still evince much unwillingness to part xd with money, and this feeling has, of course, been increased by the ill-advised obstinacy of the Bank directors in keeping their rate of discount yester day at 10 per cent. Their conduct is the more extraordinary considering the fact that the re serve, as shown by last night's return, has expe rienced a fresh increase of no less than 1,228,7801., by which the total is raised to 4,744,330/. In face of such a reserve, and of the cry for relief which resounds throughout the kingdom, the mainte nance of the usurious rate of 10 per cent., we con fess, passes our comprehension. Business is being contracted on every side ; bankers, distrustful of the future, have their fears increased by the apprehen sive attitude of the Bank ; and all this is done to save from the possibility of infraction one of the most mischievous laws that was ever placed upon the statute book. There is still a good demand for bar silver for 3 transmission to the continent, but there is little here. Tho price is firm, at be. 2d. to ss. 20. per ounce. Mexican dollars are still quoted ss. od. With reference to the transactions in bank shares, the Stock Exchange Committee have confir med d a is the rollowing resolution, which was passed on the 18th inst., and the substance of which has already been published in the Express: The committee for general purposes having received second memorial with reference to the mode of dealing in bank shares, have fully reconsidered the subject. In the opinion of the committee, any deviation from the usual practice would seriously obstruct the course of legitimate business, and by rendering bank shares less negotiable, would be detrimental to the interests of the holders and the public. It it, therefore, resolved, "That no special rules for the settlement of bargains in bank shares be adopted." With a view, however, to compel a more prompt delivery of bank and other shares by the seller, the committee have passed the subjoined resolu tion relating to alterations in rules 96 and 99, sub ject to confirmation on the 25th inst. : Resolved, that rule 9$ stand as follows :—" Registered shares or stock, if not delivered within seven days, may be bought in against the seller at or after 12 o'clock on the eighth day after the date of the ticket, and all loss in curred thereby shall be borne by him ; but in case a mem ber shall, without the consent of the buyer, retain a ticket more than two days from the date thereof, the member so retaining it shall bear the loss." Resolved, that in rule 99 the word " fifteen" be altered to " ten." Below we g ive the text of rules 98 and 99 as they have hithe rto stood. A comparison with the pro posed alterations will show their precise force : 93. Registered shares, or stock, if not delivered within ten days, may be bought in against the seller, at or after twelve o'clock on the eleventh day after the date of the ticket, and all loss incurred thereby shall be poi lby him. The broker employed to buy in the shares is required to give one hour's public notice before proceeding to make such purchase, and if the purchase be not made or at tempted within half an hour after the expiration of the time fixed the notice shall be cancelled. Shares or stock thus bought in, and not delivered by one o'clock on the ;ollowing day, may be repurchased for immediate delivery without further notice, and the loss, if any, shall be paid by the member causing such repurchase. 99. A member who shall allow fifteen clear days from the date of the ticket to elapse without buying in, or at tempting to buy in, registered shares or stock, shall release the seller from all loss canted by the failure of any member through whose default the shares or stock were not delivered, unless such right has been waived at the re quest, or with the content uf, the seller. The right to buy in shares or stock is limited to the original buyer, whether the name of the first buyer or that of any other member is placed on the ticket to pay, but in order to identify the original ticket, the name into which the stock or =area are to be transferred must be stated on the order given to the broker employed to buy in, to whom holders of overdue tickets may apply. We are requested to contradict the report that the London Financial Association have suffered by the stoppage of Mr. G. Furness, the contractor, the fact being, as we are assur e d, that that com pany have never had any transactions with him. The annual meeting of the Netherlands Land Enclosure Company is called for the 20th July, at the London Tavern.

Mr. Tho Hughes, the able and independent member for th e borough, will address the meeting ; and we feel enured that the electors of Lambeth will, by the unanimity and emphatic character of their demon stration against a tory administration and in favour of • liberal ministry, prove themselves worthy the traditions of their ipfluentud borough, which has on all occasions rushed to the rescue whenever the cause of popular pro gress has been in periL The liberals of Lambeth deserve the warmest commendation for being thus early in the field, and we cannot doubt that before the middle of next week every metropolitan borough will have followed the example of Lambeth, and pronounced in unmistakeable terms against the advent of a tory government and in favour of a liberal administration.-4drertistr. i
