Mr. Trollops is an artist who requires a broad 01111114 on which to work out his conceptions. Give him sufficient space and there are few who will deny that he can fill it admirably. But his peculiar craft prevents the happy execution of cabinet pictures. Lotto Sdoniaft, and other No) irs is a collection of nine sketches, marked, we need scarcely say, with ability and good feeling. They show the handicraft of their author • they are good after their kind—very much better, indeed, than many of the short tales that satisfy the readers of magazines ; but they will add no thing to the reputation Mr. Trollops has acquired as a writer of fiction. If Richardson had attempted to tell a story in a few pages, we may feel quite sure ho would have failed, and, from a literary and artistic point of view, Mr. Trollope has failed also. As specimens of the novelist's an these tales are not good • as stories for cheap aerials they are very good indeed. " Lotta Schmidt," which takes the precedence, and gives a title to the volume, affords us a glimpse of German life among the lower orders. It is an accurate and suggestive representation. Lotta is a pretty girl of the Viennese type, tall and slender, but with " none of that appearance of feminine weakness which is so common among us with girls who are tall and slim." She has jet black hair and dark blue eyes, and a well-formed but somewhat prominent nose. But over-riding everything in her personal appearance, is her form, countenance, and gait, was that singular fierceness of independence, as though she were constantly asserting that she would never submit herself to the incon venience of feminine softness. And yet Lotta Schmidt was a simple girl, with a girl's heart, looking forward to find all that she was to have of human happiness in the love of some man, and expecting and hoping to do her duty as a married woman and the mother of a family. Nor would she have been at all coy in saying as much bad the subject of her lifs's prospects become matter of conver sation in any company, no more than one lad would be coy in saying that he hoped to be a doctor or another in declaring a wish for the army. Lotta has two lovers, one a musician of 45, who leads the band in the beer hall of the Volksgarten, a worthy, simple soul, known to us as Herr Crip pel ; the other, Fritz Planken, a handsome young fellow, who dresses well and flourishes a little amber-headed cane, and as he sits by Lotta's side and looks up into Lotta's face, so dismays the musician that when it becomes ris turn to play on the violin, he can with difficulty sound a note. But Herr Crippel recovers his self-possession before long, and plays on the zither until the tears roll down Lotta's cheeks, and the old men who had listened to him for twenty years declare that ho had never played so well. How Lotta and Fritz Planken quarrel, how the latter deems it incum bent to assert his manhood and to dance with whom he pleases, how Herr Crippel discovers to his surprise and joy that, despite his age and his thin hairs, he has won at length a warm heart for which he had been sighing for years, we leave Mr. Trollop s to tell. The " Ad ventures of Fred Pickering " is a short story with a very useful moral. It describes the difficulties of a young fellow who forsakes his father's profession of the law, marries a girl of nineteen, and endea vours to seek his fortune in London as a writer for the press. Of course, he comes to grief, and is thankful to return to the drudgery of his father's office. Then, there is a good Irish tale, entitled, " rather Giles of Ballymoy," which smacks racily of the soil, and will make the reader laugh. It is like the rest of the stories, ver y ' slight in substance, but is told with spirit and with a breadth of humour in which Mr. Trollops rarely indulges. For the rest we may specially note two stories as good of their kind—the one a sea piece, called " Malachi's Cove ;" the other, " Miss Ophelia Gledd," who is a youn g l a dy an d beauty of Boston, Massachusetts, and lives after the manner of young ladies in that free country. The writer, who is supposed to be a Mr. Green, asks, when he has told the story, whether Ophelia, who has married an Englishman, will be received in London as a lady ? Her former lover, American born, declares that " she hasn't the gait 'of going that would suit London," and we think ourselves that she is wise in securing a loophole of escape in case her reception here prove unplmant. Flora Adair ' or Lose works Wonders, bears, we think, traces of a female band, or of a feminine understanding. The feeling which pervades the novel is good ; the argument is singularly feeble. The wonder which is here wrought by love is the conversion of en Englishman who doubts the truth of Christianity, into an Englishman who ac cepts the Pope and all the distinctive doctrines of papal Rome. We are told in this novel that Rome the seat of Divine truth living upon earth ;" that she is " the living mother of a living world," and that " her government is the highest of all— the government of love." After this the reader will not be surprised to learn that Flora Adair staggers the scepticism of her lover, Mr. Earns cliffe, by the remark that Fra Angelico, who was according to his ideas an ignorant monk and a worshipper of images, could paint angels, while Landseer cannot. Do you like Fra Angelieo's n pictures?" asked Flom. " Yes. be id an exquisite painter. • Yeti'e was, according to your ideas, an ignorant monk, and a worshipper of inuiges • nevertheless I dare say that your enlightened Landseer could not paint anything to equal his angels. Yet he is gen er a lly considered to he one of your best painters." ' But it is not fair, Flora, to compare them," answered Mr. Farneeliffe, laughing at the mere idea of such a comparison. "Fm Angelica's std Lawlmer's are altogether different styles." Of course they are. Bow could mama sod truth, and superstition and igno rance produce the same style of painter? And it was just that which struck me ; the difference in elevation of style and subject shown by the disciple of truth and intellect over the poor superstitions monk." Mr. Earnaeliffe smiled, but remained silent, and Flora said, " Why do you not answer, Edwin? lime I annoyed you?" " Annoyed me' No. I did not speak because I was thinking over your words. It is strange, no doubt, that the painters of the middle ages should be of so much higher an order than those of our own time. To be candid with you, this redaction has often occurred to me before now. but I turned away from it as one of the many riddles which rea son could not explain. I wish it could be satisfactorily cleared up." "It can be, Edwin." The point of the story lies in the statement that Rome regards marriage as an indissoluble tie, while prntestarits permit the bond to be rescinded. The writer apparently forgets that this union, holy and inviolable though it be, has sometimes been annulled by a dispensation, and for money. Let that pass, however. The sacrifice made by the heroine of her love for her faith merits admiration, as all sacrifices do which are made for the sake of conscience. The character of Flora is not drawn with much distinctness, nor indeed do any of the personages brought forward in the tale possess a strong individuality. We hear of " the strength and grandeur" of the hero's character; but he strikes us as a somewhat ordinary mortal, familiar enough in the pages of novelists, if not in common life. There are two sisters with the hazel eyes and red hair now so fashionable in novels, who play a prominent part, one of them a live ly, cheerful, good-hearted girl, who is happy in courtship and in marriage ; the other a young female-fiend—the term is not too strong—who, because Mr. Earns- yams had numbered something more than half a century. chile will not fall in love with her, endeavours to Then, as she settled hers e lf c e o-utltably to sleep she destroy his happiness for life.

THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 24, 1867. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before the Assistant-Judge.) Charles Silk? and Edward Coulson were indicted for conspiring to obtain goods, and also with attempting to obtain by false pretences the sum of 6/., by falsely pre tending that a certain watch was made of gold, and marked as 18 carat gold, and wax ball-marked, whereas the same watch was of a base and inferior metal, made to the semblance and appearance of gold, as the said Charles Suter and Edward Coulson were well aware. And whereas the same watch had not been duly stamped at the Goldsmiths' Hail, and the mark on the said watch was not the genuine hall-mark for la carat gold. Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. Collins prosecuted, instructed by Mr. K J. Abliott ' • Mr. Poland appeared for Suter, and Mr. M. Williams, i nstructed by Mr. Willis. The prosecutor in this case is a Mr. Upsall, a pawn broker carrying on business at No. 121, Whitechapel road, and it appeared that at about half-past 12 o'clock at noon on Monday, the 19th of August, the prisoner Coul son went to the prosecutor's shop and tendered a watch in pledge for 61. On examination of the watch the pro secutor discovered it marked to represent the Goldsmiths' Hall mark. He at once identified the mark as a forgery, and felt assured that the watch was not gold. Having drawn Coulson's attention to the mark, he was asked what it was, and he said it was It carat gold, as was indi cated by the mark on it. The prosecutor then filed it, and afterwards tested it with aquafortis, and finding the teat showing a spurious metal, said it was merely brass washed with gold, and asked him who the watch belonged to. He said it did not belong to him, upon which the prosecutor told him to bring the owner. Coulson then 'eked him to lend him what he liked upon it, but the prosecutor said he should not lend anything on lit, and that he should not part with the watch to any one but the police. The prisoner Coulson. after waiting some time, then left the shop, but after being absent for about two hours returned, accompanied by the prisoner Suter, who asked the prosecutor why he detained the watch, saying that it was gold, and demanded it back again. The prosecutor said it was not a gold watch, but only a " duffer," and that be should give it up to none but the police. The prisoners then left the shop and returned with a police-constable, and the prosecutor, after explaining matters to him, requested him to take the two prisoners to the station-house, and be would fol low in a few minutes with the watch, which was done. While the charge was being taken the constable sent the watch to a maker's in the neighbourhood, who tested it and pronounced it as metal only. The prosecutor being about to go into the country on his holiday did not press the charge against then], but told them jto try and get their living more honestly in future, and the watch was given back to the prisoners. Seine time afterwards the prose cutor discovered that on the very same day they obtained the watch from the police the prisoners pledged it for 4/. with a Mr. Fish, a pawnbroker, of No. 16, Wilderness-row, Clerkenwell, whereupon the prosecutor immediately ap plied to the sitting magistrate at the Worship-street police-court for a warrant, and the result was that the prisoners were committed for trial. Mr. Fish, the pawn broker with whom the prisoners subsequently pledged the watch, was called upon to produce it at Worship-street. At the examination before the magistrate the prisoners' solicitor said that the prosecutor , would not have applied for the warrant had he not been threatened with an action for false timprisonment by the prisoners unless he made them compensation, on the assertion that neither of the prisoners represented the watch as 18 carat gold. The prosecutor came to town a week after the pri soners had been given into custody, when he received • letter from • Mr. Thwaites, an accountant, to the effect that unless compensation was given to the prisoners an action would be commenced. On the Saturday previously to the Monday when the attempt was made to pus the watch in question on the prosecutor Coulson took the watch to • Mr. Avila, a pawnbroker in the same road, and wished him to lend him 10/. on it, but it was returned to him, the 'her:can telling him he did not like the look of it, when Coulson offered to take 5/. on it, but that was also refused, and on the following Monday he attempted to pass it on the prosecutor. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, but with • strong recommendation to mercy, on the ground that Mr. Upset' did not institute the prosecution at the outset. Upon Mr. Williams's application the sentence was post poned. TBB POLICE COURT& BIANSION-HOUSE. Ed ,rin PranriaHill, sollaitor , ;f 48, Camden-road, Camden-town, was charged with feloniously forging and uttering a power of attorney to transfer 1001. stock in the Consolidated Three per Cent. Annuities, with intent to defraud the governor and company of the Bank of Eng land. Mr. Freslafield appeared for the prosecution; and Mr. George Lewis for the defence. The case having been briefly opened by Mr. Freshfield, the following evidence was called in support of the charge. Mr. William Snellgrove, a clerk in the Consol-ottioe of the Bank of England, deposed that on the 12th October there was a sum of 662/. 14s. 3d. in Three per Cent. Stock, standing in the names of John Gethen Bartlett, of the Hare and Hounds public-house, North Woolwich-road ; and Matthew Thomas Bartlett, commercial traveller, Bed. hill. He produced a transfer for 1001. of that stock. It was dated 10th October, and purported to be signed by John Gethen Bartlett, for himself, and as attorney for Matthew Thomas Bartlett. . . James Corbett Irving, a stockbroker, deposed to obtain ing • transfer of the stock and paying the proceeds, less commission and expenses—viz., 921. fis., to the prisoner. Matthew Thomas Bartlett said he and his brother were trustees for WV. 14s. 3d. Three per Cent. stock, belonging to their sister, Mary Ann Hill, who was the wife of the prisoner. The signature, Matthew Thomas Bartlett, to the power of attorney for transferring 1001. of the stock was not in witness's handwriting, and he never gave authority to any person to put hie signature to it. For the last three months the prisoner had from time to time urged him to sell part of the stock, and assign the pro- ceeds to him. He did not know any person of the name of Henry Smith, a gardener, who was put down as a wit. neat to the transfer. . By Mr. Leann—NS e are jointly interested in the stock under a marriage settlement, Mr. Hill brought me a let ter from his wife, authorising the sale of 1001., which was to be sold out for the pureose of bringing her to Eng land, and be proposed to insure his life to secure that 1111101111 t. On the application of Mr. Fresheeld, , The Lord Mayor at this stage remanded the case till Tuesday, when the evidence will be completed. Mr. Lewis asked his lordship to admit the prisoner to bail. He was not at present going into the merits of the case, nor would he contest the question of forgery until they had the evidence of John Gethen Bartlett ; but one thing was clear, and that was, that this was a fund in which the defendant's wile was interested, and that the money was got out to bring her to England. The de fendant may have acted imprudently and as a solicitor he ought to have known better, but he had friends and rela tions of very large fortune, who were willing to give bail to any amount. The sum in dispute was very small, and it would be replaced immediately if it was shown that any fraud bad been committed. The Lord Mayor said he must decline to accept bail, and the defendant was then removed in custody. GUILDHALL. A young girl, who aid her was Eliza Akast, and that she was 12 years of age, but whose manners betokened her about 17 or 18, was charged with being found wander ing in boy's clothes on Ludgate-bill, and not having any settled place of abode or any visible mean, of subsistence. She was dressed in a black cloth overcoat with a black velvet collar, black add grey mixture shooting coat, black cloth waistcoat buttoned up to the chin, grey trousers, black and white plaid scarf, side-spring boots, unbleached cotton stockings, and speckles! straw hat with black band. Job Oates, 4:4, said that that morning, about 8 o'clock, his attention was called to the prisoner by some of the pas senger; who had come up from Walworth-road by the Lon don, Chatham, and Dover Railway. They told him they were convinced she wu a girl, although dressed in male attire. He asked her where showasgoing, and she said to her aunt's in Whitecross-street, Ludgate-lull. He told her there was no such place, and as she would give no account of herself he took her to the station-house. On searching her there they found on her a purse containing 61. le. in money, souse pipes and tobacco, and also another Lair of men's trowsers. She then told him that her mother had dressed her up in that style in order to get her away from her father-in-law, who used to beat her dreadfully. Her mother took her to her aunt's in East-lane, in order to leave her there, but her aunt would not keep her, and sent her away that morning to her other aunt's, in Whitecross-street, but she could not tell where she lived, although she could find her way to it if allowed to go with the officer. Her mother and father-in-law lived in Piccadilly, but she did not know the address, but weld find her way to it. Gates went to East-lane, but could find nobody who knew the prisoner there, The prisoner said, with regard to the ls. , her soother gave it to her to pay to her aunt in Whitecrou-street, and she wits going there to pay it. Ahiennan Lawrence remanded her for a week in order to ascertain who she was. WFSTMINSTER. • • Marla Strickland, o journeyman tailor, wail brought up on a warrant, charged with unlawfully pawning a great coat belonging to Henry (Lam, of tn, Smith.street, Sloane-square, and three waistcoats belonging to Mr. Walter Burrell, gentleman, of 11, Moore-street, Chelsea. Mr. Gaten said that the prisoner, in his absence, came to his house and obtained a great coat from his wife, which he pawned, and in the course of the neat day sent him the ticket. He, however, had not been to the pawn broker's to see whether it was his coat. _ _ Mr. Walter Burrell said that a few days ago be took three wai•tco.ats to Mr. Gaten's shop, and handed them to the prisoner for repair. He bad subsequently learnt th►t the prisoner bad taken the waistcoats to a pawnbroker's and pawned one, which could be proved. Prisoner said he bad sold other coats for Mr. Oaten, and bad an authority to sell this one. Mr. Arnold—But you had no authority to pawn it, OT the waistcoat belonging to this gentleman. Prisoner ascribed the whole circums ennead. to his drunk- Mr. Osten said he did not wish to press the charge, as the prisoner's wife had promised to get the waistcoats out of pawn. Mr. Arnold—You had no right to come here, get a war rant against the man, and have him taken into cuttotly, if you did not wish to proceed with the charge. Have you any wish to punish the man, Mr. Burrell ? Mr. Burrell—None whatever. Mr. Arnold—He is discharged. THAMES. ll,Atri Bill, with a great many aliases, a brickmaker and labourer, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with running away and deserting his two children, aged three and five years respectively, and leaving them &ergs able to the Poplar Union. Mr. James Spratley, relieving officer of the Poplar Union, said the prisoner's wife died in September. 1866, and he immediately afterwards sold o ff his home for 31., and absconded, leaving his two children chargeable to the union. They had been supported ever since by the parish at an expense of 251., which he now demanded of the pri soner, who was apprehended last night in the country by Walton, an officer of the court, who had been seeking after him at intervals for ll months. The Prisoner—l have not had any work all the winter. Mr. Spratley said the prisoner had eluded the constable Watson by many disguises and aliases, and was employed at the new dead meat market in the City for some time, and upon other jobs, and he sou earning sometimes 245. and at other times 2/. per week. Mr. Benson—And he leaves his children to be supported by the parish ; it is monstrous. The Prisoner— I have not earned what the officer says. Mr. Benson bad no doubt of the veracity of the relieving officer. It was a bed case of deserting children, and he sentenced the prisoner to one month's imprisonment and hard labour. The prisoner was a strong, ablwbodied man, and if he did not maintain his children when his sentence expired he would be sent to gaol for three months. THE EXTENSIVE FRAUDS ON CITY MERCHANTS. At the Mansion-house yesterday Julius Hugo Levinstein, merchant, of Southgate-road, Dalston, was brought up on remand before the Lord Mayor on the charge of conspiring with Hermann Mecklenburg and others, not in custody, and obtaining by means of false pretences, between 25th June and 20th September, a quan tity of damasks and linens, value about 346/., the property of Meagre. Crawford and Lindsay, merchants, of 26, Milk street, Cheapside. There was a second charge of fraudu lently obtaining from Messrs. Pim Brothers, of 30, Milk street, Cheapside, a quantity of linens, poplins, and limeys, amounting in value to upwards of 0001. Mr. Straight, instructed by Mr. Colley, conducted the prosecution ; and Mr. Sleigh, instructed by Mr. Beard, appeared for the defence. On the former examination evidence was given to show that Levinstein and Mecklenburg, who had an office in Lombard-street, called upon Mr. Joseph Martin, the Lon don agent of Messrs. Crawford and Lindsay, linen mann , facturers of Banbridge, county Down, and represented themselves to be the agents of Messrs. Levinstein Br*- , then, general dealers, Berlin. On the faith of this repre sentation goods toe considerable extent were supplied to them, but Mr. Martin's suspicions were ultimately excited, and on his writing to Berlin he received information from Messrs. Levinstein Brothers that neither the prisoner nor Mecklenburg had any authority to set on their behalf. The only witness called in support of the case yesterday was Adolphe Jungtans, who stated in reply to Mr. Straight that he was a commission merchant and resided at No. 6, Sussex-place, Queen's-road, Dalaton. In March last he became clerk to Mr. Levinstein, who had an office at No. 7, Bury-court, St. Mary Axe, and also at ss, Lombard street. He knew Mecklenburg. Levinstein was a " com panion" of Mecklenburg's. At this stage the witness stated that he was only I slightly acquainted with the English language, and that he would be able to give his evidence in a more satisfactory manner in his native tongue. The services of Dr. Bee horst were accordingly called into requisition as inter preter. Examination continued—Levinstein told him that he was in partnership with Mecklenburg for the purchase of articles for the Brothers Levinstein at Berlin. The name put up at the office in Bury-court was " Levinstein and Co." Prisoner never said anything to him about Crawford and Lindsay, and he had not seen any linens. Prisoner told witness to all him G. Mecklenburg. In the month of August a person called Leon was sent to Rotter dam to open an office and put up the name of Nathaniel Hope and Co. He was instructed to do so by Levinstein, and witness was to get a stamp with the words Nathaniel Hope and Co. Levinstein told him the goods to be sent to Rotterdam were to go no further. They were to be addressed to the firm of N. Hope and Co., and if any goods arrived addressed to Levinstein Brothers they were to be returned to be sold in London. By saying the goods were to be sent " no further," be meant they were not to be sent to Berlin. Witness went to Rotterdam for eight days, and was about taking an office but as no money was sent to him he did not take the office, and the stamps were not made. He saw Leon at Rotterdam. Leon had some linen, of which witness saw the samples. About the same time Mecklenburg came to Rotterdam, and they tried to sell the linen, but as they did not succeed they pledged it. He (the witness) knew where it was pledg,W. The bill of exchange produced was filled up by witness, with the exception of the signatures, at the office in Lombard-street. Mecklenburg and Levinstein were present. There was another bill of exchange before him from which he was to copy, but as there were some mistakes in the other bill he got directions to correct them from Levinstein. After the bill was filled up he gave it to Levinatein, and none of the names now on the back were then on it. He knew Levinstein's handwriting. By Mr. Sleigh—Mecklenburg took the office in Lombard street, and his name was on the door. He went there either in June or July this year. Levinstein was there about a hundred times. Witness had been in this country more than four years. Previously be lived in Berlin. He was a merchant there, and left because it pleased him. He knew Levinstein in Berlin, because he used to live in his (witness's) house. After an interval of IS years be first saw Levinstein in the beginning of last March. Witness was • clerk in a bank in Berlin. He was not discharged, but left of his own accord. He had been imprisoned for two months for appropriating money belonging to the bank, and be was now out on bail to appear at the next session of the Central Criminal Court to take his trial on • charge of fraud, in which Levinstein was a witness against him. He had not offered his services to the pro secution in this case, but they had applied to him. Mi. Straight then asked for a further remand, as there were some material witnesses who had not yet reached this country. Mr. Sleigh made no opposition ; but asked that the pri soner should be admitted to hail as he was in delicate health, and there was no evidence to convict him of forgery. The Lord Mayor refused the application to admit the defendant to bail, and the case was then remanded till Monday. THE FATAL EXPLOSION IN WOOLWICH ARSENAL. Yesterday morning, Mr. Cartier, coroner for Kent, resumed the inquiry into the circnmstanoes re lating to the deaths of five !Ads, who died from injuries received in the explosion which took place in Wodwich Arsenal. --- Wm. Brown, the foreman of the cartridge shed, deposed that on the morning of the explosion there were 2001bs. of powder in the building, the whole of which, with the ex ception of 30ibs., was secured in cartridges and crimped. He noticed nothing unusual in the appearance of the shed, and no complaints had been made to him, nor bad he been appealed to on any question of difficulty. He was walking to the table to give an account of the work done when he heard the snap of a percussion cap, and in a few seconds the explosion occurred. He could not account for it. The naked pellets were placed where he heard the cap snap. The boys had nothing at their disposal to strike against the pellets. There was not half an ounce of loose powder on the door. Joseph Fox. the " overlooker " in the shed, deposed that on the morning of the expiation two boys were out of their places. The boys were about leaving off when instructions dune to the effect that fifty more boxes of cartridges were required, so that they could not be blamed for not being in their proper positions. He saw a flash, and at the mos tune observed the hand of one of the boys to whom he had referred lifted. _ _ . The jury pressed the witness to remember the name of the boy in question, but he failed to do so. At this stage of the prooeedinga the inquiry was ad- THE BLoomsanty MURDER.—At Bow-street yes terday, while the examination of the witnesses on the charge of issaar.lt was proceeding, those who had given evidence on the charge of murder had left the court. Amongst those was Mrs, Janman, who, upon getting into the street, was so hooted, hustled, and in one word" mobbed," that she was obliged to return and take refuge in the court. Here she remained in the safe asylum of the gaoler's room for about half an hour, when, a cab being brought to the door, she was let out, faltering, trembling, and shudder. ing, between two rows of policemen, who had enough to do to keep back the mob while she got into the vehicle. The cabman drove off rapidly in the direction of Covent garden market. followed by &portion of the mob, howling and yelling hideously, as far as Tavistock- dace, where they found themselves distanced by the fleet , and gave up the chase. THE SITTINGS AT Nisi PRIIIIA—The Court of Exchequer will sit in Middlesex on the 4th, 11th, and lath November, for the throe sittings at Westminster. • The grand jury of the Middlesex Sessions have ignored the bill against the Rev.

THE ROYAL BARI OP LIVERPOOL. A meeting of the shareholders of the Royal Rank of Liverpool, which suspended payment on Monday, was held yesterday in the bank premise.. There was a nume rous and influential attendance of shareholders, and lithe prooeedinp passed off with unanimity, and without any scenes" or angry disctusion, and were consequently much briefer than had been anticipated. Mr. J. B. BRANCILER was called to the chair, and after a few formal remark. he called upon Mr. H. W. Banner, who could perhaps, be said, give the meeting some idea of the present position of the bank's affain. Mr. BANNER said he appeared before the meeting both as an accountant and as a shareholder. He had been called in on Monday to look over the books, and from that hue , vied examination he had been enabled to form some idea of their position. Mr. Banner then gave s statement of the affairs of the bank, compiled by the officials of the bank, of which the following are the main points : Depoidts on credit accolinGr ---- L 1.200,000 BilL bearing the endorsement of the bank, estimated to come back Total to be provided for The bank estimated their losses at about 770,0001., against which there would be capital, reserve fund, and undivided profits, 820,000/. Assuming these to balance each other, the meets ought to be equal to the liabilities, or 1,650,000/. Mr. Banner guarded himself, however, by stating that the time had not allowed him to investigate the affairs of the bank, and it would require at least a fortnight to have the necessary valuations made for arriving at an accurate rendt. Mr. Banner, in conclusion, said that their only course was to look their affairs boldly in the face, and to at once arrange to settle with their creditors, who would doubtless meet them in a friendly and considerate spirit. As to the causes of the disaster which had so suddenly be fallen them, that would be a fair subject for a full and searching investigation hereafter ; but in the meantime, I until they were better informed, all angry discussion and recriminations could do no good, and he would therefore advise the meeting to keep to the plain duties before them, viz., the arrangements as to their future proceedings, The following are the resolutions, which were agreed to nat. eon.:—" That looking t o th e Wealth and position of the shareholders of the bank, and the amount of its sure ties, there is no doubt that all its creditors are amply secured, and will be paid in full, and this meetingexprerses its readiness to submit to any call which may be found necessary to meet the claims on the bank with the least possible inconvenience to the claimants, and resolves that an immediate call be made, which shall not be ler than equal to 5!. per share on the original shares." 2. "That a committee of shareholders be appointed with a view to the speedy realisation of the amen of the bank and the inspection of its affairs, and that the following gentlemen constitute such committee :—Messrs. John Bibby, J. B. Braneker, Harold Littledale, W. Myrtle, H. W. Banner, Alderman Dover, and John Weightman." 3. " That it is most desirable, having regard to the advan tageous realisation of the bank, and of the value of the , good will of the business, that steps be taken by the cor e for the speedy resumption of its business if found desirable." 4. That for the purpose of carrying out the above objects steps be at once taken to register the bank under The Companies Act, 1862,' and to present • petition to the court for the protection of the assets of the bank, and the appointment of a provisional liquidator." 5. "That Mr. H. W. Banner be requested to act as pro visional liquidator." 6. " That a committee of shareholders be requested to have a proper petition prevented to the court." 7. " That to afford time for the careful realisation of the assets of the bank, and to allow for the resusci tation of the bank, and secure the value of its goodwill, the creditors be requested to accept promissory notes of the hank for the amount of the debts due to them at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months, with interest, to be agreed upon between them and the committee, and with power of Anticipation, and that the committee be requested to confer with the principal creditors on the subject.' 8. " That the creditors be requested to attend a meeting to be appointed by the committee, to consider these proposals, and, if they see fit, to appoint a; committee to represent them in the realisa tion of the assets." After the meeting a circular was issued, calling two meetings of shareholders ; on the 7th of November, for ob. Mining the shareholders' assent to the registration of the company in, a limited one, with a view to its being wound up under the act of 1862, and on the Ilth November, to pass a resolution that the company cannot, by reason of its liabilities, continue its business, and that it is advia. able to wind it up.
