The Earl of DERBY said he was not aware that any direction had been given for altering the prayer. The lan guage of the latter part of it was hardly reconeileable with the fast, inasmuch as the cholera had already broken out in this country. Probably the subject would occupy the attention of the Archbishop of Canterbury. The Parochial Buildings (Seotland) Act Amendment Bill was read a second time. The Commons' amendments to Lords' amendments to the Glebe Lends (Scotland) Bill were considered and agreed to. CONSECRATION OF CHURCHYARDS (No. 2) BILL.

The Srsam took the chair at for o'clock. ROYAL COMMISSION. Colonel CLIFFORD, the Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod, summoned the Seismsit and members present to the House of Lords to hear the royal assent given to certain bills. PRIVATE BILLS. The following bills were read a third time and paned:— Bray and Enniskerry Railway Bill, Putney and Fulham New Bridge Bill. THE PROPOSED NEW BUILDING FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF LONDON. Mr. B. HOPE gave notice that to-morrow he should ask the First Commissioner of Works whether he had any objection to exhibit to the members of the house the de sign of Mr. Pennethorne for the new university proposed to be built in Burlington-gardens. WATERLOO-BRIDGE. Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE gave notice of his intention to-morrow to ask the First Commissioner of Works whether, in consequence of the large number of houses to be taken down in the neighbourhood of Temple-bar and the Strand, in order to clear the site of the new law courts, he will bring in a hill next session for the purpose of pur chasing Waterloo-bridge, and opening of the same to the public free of charge, there being no free bridge between Rlankfriars and Westminster bridges, a distance of nearly two miles. MR. NAPIER AND MR. BLACKBURN& Mr. O'BEIRNE asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if the appointment of Mr. Blaokburne ea Lord Chancellor of I Ireland was merely provisional, and if Mr. Napier bad actu ally been appointed the Lord Justice of Appeal. Lord NAAS—I think the best answer I can give to the bon. gentleman will be to read a letter from Mr. Napier on this subject. It is as follows :—" July 28, 1866. My dear Lord Derby,—When you were pleased to offer me the office of Lord Justice of Appeal, I was conscious of my partial defect of hearing, but not having experienced any diffi culty from the detect when I presided as Lord Chancellor in the Court of Chancery, and having been assured by those on whom I can implicitly rely, that it has not since in creased, I accepted the offer you made to me. I find, how ever, that an impression has been created in the public mind that the defect in question exists to an extent which might interfere with the satisfactory discharge of my duties. I believe the impression to be mistaken, but when I cannier how important it is that the adminis tration of justice should be above all possible exception, and how desirable it is that the nomination to so high an office should not be open to a moment's cavil, I think that I best fulfil the duty that I owe to the public, to your lordship, and to myself, by withdrawing my cceptance of the office." (Hear, hear.) The noble lord proceeded to say :—I hope I may be allowed to say that I feel assured that the house and the public will give Mr. Napier every credit for the honourable and disinterested manner with which he has behaved on this trying occasion. He has made a pait sacrifice, which few men in his position could feel called upon to make. (Hear, hear.) lam sure the house will agree with me in appreciating his motive, end that the sacrifice was only made out of his regard to the interests of the public service. Mr. MAGUIRE asked if the noble lord had received a similar letter from Chief Justice Blackburne ? Lord NAAS—No. TENURE OF LAND (IRELAND). Mr. BEARDEN asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland, whether it was the intention of her Majesty's government to introduce a like bill, for the tenure and improvement of kind in Ireland, to that which was introduced by her Majesty's government in 1852. and which contained a clause granting compensation for retrospective as well as future durable improvements. Lord NAAS said, in answer to the bon. gentle man, he had only to state what he stated the other day in the debate on the withdrawal of the Tenure of Land Improvement Bill. It was this, that the question will occupy the most serious consideration of the government during the recess, and if the government could see its way to introduce a bill which would have the effect, in their opinion, of giving to tenants in Ireland compensation for bona Bde improvements, they would in troduce such a bill. With regard to the bill of 1852 he must express his individual opinion that he greatly doubted if any bill similar to that would now receive the approval of any party in that house. HYD&PARK. - - ----- Mr. D. GRIFFITH asked the First Commissioner of Works whether, before the railings of the park were re placed in Park-lane, it would be taken into consideration, whether it would be desirable to take advantage of the present opportunity for widening any part of Park-lane ; and whether he had observed the very defective quality of the brickwork supporting the railing, and if care would be taken that the new railing should be of an improved and stronger construction. Lord J. MANNER/3—l answer both the questions which the hon. gentleman has put in the affirmative. THEATRES AND PLACES OF PUBLIC ENTER TAINMENT. Lord E. BRUCE salted the Secretary of State for the Rome Department whether it wee the intention of her Majesty's government early next session to bring in a bill for the better regulation of theatres and places of public entertainment, in accordance with the report of a com mittee of this house on theatrical license and regulations. Mr. WALPOLE said this was a subject which would undergo consideration during the recess. Whether any bill would be brought in next session in accordance with the report al the examittee he could not say. THE CATTLE PLAGUE. Sir J. C. .TERVOISE asked the Vioe-Prelident of the Committee of Conseil cm Edtmation if hie attention had been celled to the statement that the tattle please had )•y been weeding in one ex two mantles ; Qat in the THE fXgilE wait of England ► dock eiillOslesep Ladles= slaughtered by alder of the I=4 =enmities; that tee heed of cattle were slaughtered by order of Prolamin Simonds ; that in Staffords hir e afresh outbreak was reported, and 44 animals allaisktened aa a precautionary main= ; and whe trier he had observed that great doubt was thrown on the origin of the disease, and on the beneficial effect obtained or to be expected from attempts to stamp it out at a peat sacrifice of property. Mr. CORBY said there had been unfortunately a fresh outbreak of the cattle disease, affecting the sheep also, on two oontiguous farms in Somersetehire. Professor Simonds had been sent down to inquire, and previously to his re port 47 cattle and 141 sheep had either been slaughtered or died. After the receipt of his report the kuel autho rities had properly ordered the whole of the remaining stock of the two farms to be slaughtered. He was he to say that in general the disease, so far from sp was on the decrease, and during the last week the who of the attacks in England end Wales comprised the smallest number yet recorded since the disease broke out. No information had been received of any fresh outbreak in Staffordshire to any extent. With regard to the last port of the question, he believed that doubts did exist as to the origin of the diem= ; but from whatever cause the dis ease originated, there was not the slightest doubt in the minds of practical persons that the diem= was communi cable in the highest degree from sick animals to healthy animals. THE BRITISH MINISTER AT FRANKFORT. Mr. OTWAY asked the noble lord the Foreign Secre tary whether instructions were isent to the British minister at Frankfort to follow the other representatives accredited to the German Confederation who had left Frankfort and established themselves in the town of Augsburg, and what was the intention of the government with regard to conti nuing a British minister at the =at of the Diet. Lord STANLEY, in answer tothefirstestion, saidthat instructions were sent on the 20th of June hispredeceseor to Sir Alexander Mallet, that he was follow the Diet to any place where it should hold its, sittings within the limits of the German Confederation. These instructions were repeated by him on the 12th of July. Sir Alexander Mallet followed the Diet to Augsburg on the 16th. With regard to the second question, as to the intentions of the government with respect to the continuance of the British minister to the German Confederation, his answer was, that in the present state of affairs he must look on the German Confederation as having practically ceased to exist. The answer therefore was obvious. THE TRAFFIC REGULATION METROPOLIS BILL, Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE asked whether it was intended to mowed with this bill. Mr. WALPOLE said, as the bill in question required more consideration than could be given to it at the end of the session, he proposed to move that the order of the day with respect to it be discharged. THE SUSPENSION IN OF ERKLAND THE . HABEAS CORPUS ACT Mr. MAGUIRE asked the Secretary for Ireland whether he intended to bring in the bill for the further suspenrion of the Habeas Corpus Act in Ireland, and, if so, whether he would bring it forward at such a time as would give the Irish members an opportunity to have a full discus sion upon it. Lord NAAS said he proposed to ask lave to bring in a bill tomorrow night, and to put it on the paper for the second reading as the first order of the day on Thursday. Mr. MAGUIRE said be would propose an amendment on the second reading. MR. BAILLIE COCHRANE AND MR. BRIGHT. Mr. B. COCHRANE said he wished, withthe pennies, of the house, to make • personal explanation, and in order to facilitate his doing so, he proposed to conclude with a motion. He perceived that there had been a growl attack made on hire in the otTan of the hon. member for Bir mingham. He regretted that his unavoidable absence on Thursday and Friday precluded him from answering the charge at once, but as it had been widely copied in other papers he cou ld not pass it unnoticed. The charge against him was that he stated to the hones whenit was not the fact that the letter of the hon. member for Birmingham inciting the collection of these mobs in the park was written subse. a quentl to the speech of the Secre of State for the Home Department , and that of the • t hon. baronet the late Home Secretary. Now, it that in makingthat statement he was wrong. ( reare ear, hear.) Perhaps hon. members who cheered world wait till the conclusion. It was true that the letter in question was dated the 19th July. The debate took place on the 19th of July, and therefore the letter preceded the discussion. But it was equally true that the publication of that letter did not take place until Monday, the 23rd It was sent for publi cation on the 22nd, and, therefore, when the hon. member sent his letter for publication to the morning papers of the 23rd, he mast have perused the debates that took place on the 19th. The mistake that he (Mr. Cochrane) made was that he used the word " written" and ought to have said" published." With that exception he was perfectlyright in the statementhe made to the house. Therefore, he said thiswas only another evidence of the want of frankness with which the hon. gentleman had behaved throughout these painful discussions. The charge that had been brought against him of misstatement would not prevent him from expressing the opinion which he still held that the letter of the hon. gentleman was a moat pernicious letter. (Loud cries of " Order.") Mr. HADFIELD asked if it was right to attack an hon. member in this way in his absence. The SPEAKER said the hon. member for Honiton, he understood, rose to make a personal explanation, and the distinction between that and making a charge against others was very great. When any charge was to be made against • newspaper, the rule of the house was that the paragraph should be read at the table, and that the member complaining should then proceed to make • motion. The hon. member proposed to make • motion with a view to personal explanation, and he must confine himself to that. Mr. B. COCHRANE said he bowed of course to the authority of the Speaker. He had certainly been grossly attacked. He maintained that he had virtually stated the exact truth, and the charge of misstatement might be ap plied to the hon. member for Birmingham and not to him. (Cries of " Move.") He moved that the house do adjourn. Mr. M'LAREN seconded the motion for the purpose of expressing his opinion, but the hon. gentleman had added to his original charge • new accusation as un founded as that original charge. He (Mr. M'Laren) believed that the hon. member for Birmingham had never sent the letter to the newspaper at all. (Hear, hear.) It was a letter addressed to an individual, and it was that individual who had in all probability published it. Surely, if a person addressed a letter to another man, and that man sent it some days after to the newspapers, the original writer was not to be called to account. (Cheers.) Mr. HADFIELD said the hon. gentleman (Mr. Bright) was the last man in Great Britain or Ireland to shrink from the responsibility of his own acts, and he protested against accusations being brought against him in his absence. (Hear.) The motion for the adjournment was then withdrawn. FORTIFICATIONS (PROVISION FOR EXPENSES) BILL On the motion for going into committee, Mr. OSBORNE said he had not had the honour of a seat in the house when the bill was read • second time, but he believed that up to this moment no explanation bad been given by the Secretary for War as to the state of the fortifications or of the alterations that had been made in them. He had always entertained • strong opinion as to the inutility of the scheme—(cheers)—but since it had been begun the whole thing had undergone a change. One of the live forts had been given up, no foundation could be found for another, and none of those floating defences which form so important a feature of the plan had been constructed, although five years had now elapsed (ROM the scheme had been determined upon. These forts, it seemed, were now to be plated with iron. The original estimate had been for 11 millions ; but he be lieved that the real cost would be nearer 30 millions. He could hardly expect the gallant gentleman (General Peel) to give any explanation, but be regretted that the noble lord, his predecessor (the Marquis of Ilartington) was not in his place. General PEEL said that he should not have thought it necessary to come down to the house for a sum like 50,0001., had he not thought it right to call attention to the fact that it was wanted for a new work, to which the assent of the house bad not yet been asked. The necessity for that work he did not think would be disputed, for it was wanted for the improvement of Tilbury Fort, and the defences of the Thames, which had been designed when there was not such • thing as an iron-plated ship or a gun of the present large dimensions in exist ence. It was the wore necessary that the proposed works should at once be undertaken, inasmuch as the other works could not be begun for the next two years, it being neces sary to allow that interval for the foundation to settle. The proposal (so the right bon. gentleman was understood) was to spend 350,0001 upon shields for the sea batteries, turrets, and turn-tables, and that for the present only 50,0001. would be taken for the purpose of procuring iron, the exact plan of the shields not haling yet been deter mined upon Mr. GLADSTONE denied that the fortifications bad been estimated at 11,000,0001. That was the estimate for the whole scheme recommended in the report of the de fence committee ; but the late government had never adopted that report. The estimates of the work actually adopted was a trifle over 5,000,0001., though they had gra dually grown till they were now between 6,000,0001. and 7,000,0001. Still the original basis had never been altered. The financial arrangements for these works bad been alto gether peculiar. The house had assented to the principle of constructing them by means of a loan, simply because at the time they were proposed the country was suffering from considerable pressure. He had been at first con siderably puzzled to know why the right hon. gentleman should have proposed to raise a small sum like 50,0001. by loan ; hut it seemed that his object was to obtain the consent of the house to a new scheme. He must confess, however, that he thought the house ought not to agree to the proposal. Such a proposal, indeed, ought not to be made at this period of the session at all ; and considering that these were times of surpluses and financial ease, the cost of ca rrying out any new plan ought to be placed upon the annual estimates. (Hear, hear.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the most important proposal on the subject of these forti fication' was one Lid before the house in 1860, at so late • data as July 23. (Cheers.) His right hon. friend had no occasion to come before the hours to raise money at all for the proposed works, which were works that had been recommended by the defesess enmities, and it the house thought it objections' , / , ' be would not prim it. (Hear.) Borne father dinaturdon took pleas, in the course of which Kr. Watkin drew attention to the earthwork de fences found so effectual in the American war. lb. Maim recom mended that the forte should be plated with iron, and Mr. Horsmen reminded the house of the circum stances under which the Aril loan for fortificetions was raised. Ultimately, Sir B. Northoote, on behalf of the Government, withdrew the bill, undertaking that next salon every such new work should be brought before the house in the shape of an ortimate. The remaining alarms of the Public Health Bill were discussed in committee, and agreed to. The Reformatory Schools Bill passed through com mittee. The Industrial Schools Bill was also taken in committee, and the drat t 4 clauses were agreed to. A number of other bills were forwarded a stage, and the house adjourned. 'Music. KR. NOSCIIRLEB'S CONCERT. Mr. Moecheles (who is now on a visit to his old friends in London, where he resided for so many years during the most brilliant period of his life) gave a concert last evening at St. James'. Hall, for the benefit and relief of the nick, wounded. and sufferers of all nations engaged in the present (we trust we may my the late) war. The concert must have contributed substantially towards this benevolent object, as the hall was crowded by a fashionable and musical assembly, among whom lwe observed the familiar faces of many . . distinguished artists and amateurs. The entertainment consisted chiefly of Mr. Mambalee's own performances, which were listened to with great interest and warm expressions of admiration and delight. The illus trious veteran enjoys a green old age. lie may have lost a little—a very little—of the strength of hand and elasticity of finger for which he was pre-eminent above all the pianists of his time, but he has loot none of the quali ties of a great musician, which, indeed, he possesses in a higher degree than ever. His musical elocution still is as it always was, perfect. The clearness of his phnsing; the roundness of his periods, the accent and emphasis given to every passage, the commanding greatness of his style, the liquid delicacy of his touch, the vocal melody of his tones, the energy of his man aer, and the truth and variety of his expression— ire all as conspicuous as they were in the most palmy days of his youth. The music he played was, of course, wholly his own, and consisted principally of pieced, selected from his various books of !studies — the most valuable treasures which the modern pianist can possess ; for they not only all Into action all the various powers of the instrument, but every one of them is a sonata, full of genius, origi nality, and beauty. The piece which made the strongest impression on the audience was one in which he intro duced the most striking themes of Beethoven's Symphcmy in 0 minor, including the Andante in A fist, and the Triumphal March, which were given with all the power and effect of • grand orchestra. Mr. Mombeles's own variations to " The Harmonious Blacksmith," in a more modern style than those of Handel, were a fins veal men of his masterly skill. We need scarcely add that these fine performances were listened to with breathless silence, and applauded with enthusiastic vehemence. Mr. Moscheles was assisted by Madame Lind-Goldachmidt, Madame Parepa, and Dr. Guns. Mdlle. Art6t was mentioned in the programme, but did not appear. Madame Goldschmidt, who was greeted with acclamations, sang the charming =retina Men the Freischista, " Una ob die Welke." with exquisite purity and grace. Madame Parepa and Dr. Guns received their due meed of applause for their excellent performances. THE IRISH ELECTIONS.—We learn by telegraph that the Attorney-General, Mr. Walsh, was elected yes terday without opposition for the University of Dublin. _ _ The nomination for the borough of Galway took place yes- tarday ; the candidates proposed were the Solicitor- General, Mr. Michael Morris, and Mr. Stubber. The show of hands was for Mr. Morris ; and a poll having been demanded, tomorrow was fixed for the purpose. MR. BRIGHT AND THE BIRMINOHAM REFORM Lassos—The Birmingham Reform League having applied to Mr. Bright to attend an " open air meeting" on the subject of Reform in that town on Tuesday night, the following reply has been received: " Rochdale, July 27, 1866.—Dear Sir,—l must ask your friends to excuse me if I am unable to attend the meeting on the3lst inst. After the labours of the session I cannot at ones enter on those of public meetings, in connection with the great question on which the session has been mainly wasted. I suppose your meetng will be held in the open air, and I dare not attempt to sp eak in the open air. I hope before another session some steps may be taken to enrol working men, now nn franchised, in emaciation., which will enable them to bring their demand for the suffrage with increased effect before parliament during the next session. Some concession to them cannot be far off, and the extent of it will depend much on their own organised efforts on behalf of their own cause. I regret very much not to be able just now to take part in your movement. —I ant, &C., JOHN BRIGHT.—Mr. John Oxford, Birmingham." - A NEW CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATION IN THE Noarn.—A telegram from Newcastle-upon-Tyne states that a meeting, convened by . circular, for the purpose of forming a conservative association, d e signated ' The New. castle-upon-7'pm Conservative Association," and appoint ing • provisional committee, secretaries, and treasurer, was held yesterday in that town. Among those present were the Hon. H. G. Liddell, M.P., the Vicar of Newcastle (the Rev. Mr. Moody, M.A.), the Mayor of Newcastle (Mr. R. Doddst, and several other gentlemen of influence. Reso lutions were passed urging the conservatives of the town to organise and prepare to rectify their parliamentary repro sentatiou, in view of the next general election, and in sup port of the government of Lord Derby ; and subscription lista were opened. NATIONAL ARTILLERY MEETING. Yesterday morning the second annual prize meeting of the National Artillery Association, which is under the patronage of her Majesty, was inanforated at Shoeburyness, by the opening of the camp in which a large portion of the Artillery Vo lunteers from all parts of the kingdom will be located during the next nine or ten days, during the competitions for the Queen's and the other numerous and valuable prizes offered by the association. All the arrangements were completed by Saturday night, and yesterday morning the volunteers began to arrive in great numbers and take possesaion of the tents. On their arrival in camp they im mediately reported themselves to Captain M'Kown, the oamp adjutant, who instructs them as to the quarters they will occupy, and the battery to which, during the meeting, they will be attached and on receiving their camp equipage and utensils they proceeded to their tents. All ' the marquees and tents are now pitched, and judging from the fact that almost double the space is now covered with canvas as compared, with what it was last year, the L entries are already sufficient to ensure the success of the meeting. The prizes will be distributed on Wednesday, the Bth of August. " " Tag TILL , : lc Cascaras. —The new scenic ballet at the Alhambra, called " The Titanic Cascades," is of some little importance to the parish of St. Martin's-in the-Fields as a sanitary agent. Every time it is exhibited at leant twenty tons of water, after flowing before the audience for twenty minutes or more, find their way into the sewers, and flush them free of cost to the ratepayers. This is not to be despised in hot weather and a close neigh bourhood. The National Olympian Association, whose fete is announced at the Crystal Palace for to-morrow, is rapidly growing in favour. The programme set forth for that day will be earned out under the energetic manage ' went of Mr. E. G. Ravenstein, and is of unusual interest. Competitors from all parts of the United Kingdom, and especially from Liverpool and Manchester, will then meet their London friends, among whom the Germans muster largely. The committee announce for distribution among the successful competitors 120 medals and art prizes, in cluding bronzes, cups, jewellery, watches, 5.c. The sports will take place on the cricket ground, which is being espe cially prepared for the purpose. The fi le will conclude at dusk with &grand torchlight procession in the grounds and a display of fountains. A HINT.—The Record of last evening observes in a leading article :—" Mr. Bright has as yet scarcely escaped from the peril of being held responsible for bloodshed in Hyde-pa ; and although happily there is no Governor Eyre in the case, the fate of poor Mr. Gordon in Jamaica , has no doubt excited in his breast a sympathy in which the idea of identity of danger is a component element." It will be seen that we are getting on.

An extraordinary genera/ meeting of share holders in this concern was heLllsat evening at the Whit tington Club, for the purpose of taking into consideration the position and prosperity of the beak, sad to determine the most expedient course to pursue under the circum• stanoes in which the bank, by the resent monetary air* bad been Mr. T. RAITZ181.11; the chairman, said the present meeting was absolutely necessary to conclude the business of the bank with a view to its future management. The resolutions to be submitted were en embodiment of those agreed upon by the shareholders at a previous meeting , held at the London Tavern. The first was, That in the opinion of this meeting it will be advisable to wind up the company voluntarily, and that all necessary be taken in the Court of Chancery for turning Cc:et:l -sory order already . made into a voluntary winding up, sub ject to the sive:mien of the court." This motion was seconded and carried unanimously. After a desultory discussion resolutions were passed, one declaring that Mr. F. Piero was a fit and proper person to be associated with the official liquidator take , Mr. Cooper, to ' carry out the voluntary winding up, and agreeing to I the proper steps for obtaining Mr. Pierces appointment by the court; and a second, appointing the following gentlemen to act in conjunction with the official liqul datora :--Mr. W. W. Urwick, Mr. T. H. White, and the Rev. R. Magture, representing shareholders ; and Mr. C. Wood, Mr. Wilshire, and Mr. Pulleyn, representing creditors. The Citmuteir then proposed—" That in the opinion of this meeting it will be advisable that the liquidators should take steps for carrying into full effect the transfer of the business of the bank to the London and Exchange Bank (Limited), upon the terom of the agreement dated 2nd July, 1866, between the General Exchange Bank (Limited), and Mr. W. Paul Clift on behalf of the Gene re* Banking Company, now called the London and Ex change Bank (Limited) or with such modifications as the liquidators and the London and Exchange Bank (Limited) shall consider beneficial" Mr. PULLint seconded the motion. A SHARXHOLDIR wished to know whether the new *pommy was formed, and who were the directors, manager, sad secretary? The CHAIRMAN said the directors were not yet appointed. The shareholders were now in the bands of the persons who bad signed the articles of association. Mr. PIZIICT further explained that the articles of asso ciation, which before were very faulty, had been recoi -1 etructed, so that for the future the shareholders would not be held in monetary slavery. Certainly a new bank had been formed, and a number of boni fide shareholders had signed the articles. A provisional directory existed, and although the notices had only been out a few days applica tions bad been received for 15,000/. worth of shares. The bank was doing an exceedingly good bullion business st 79, Lombard-etreet, and he himsdf had invested heavily in the new concern to preserve that business. He would rather Um every penny he had than allow Mr. Hartland to possess it. (Cheers.) Thatgentleman, who hednowbeencheckmated, I had not, according to legal authority, a leg to stand upon. A new manager was not yet appointed. The Rev. R. Maguire, one of the provisional directors, Mr. Brown, Mr. Mowatt, of Dublin, and other gentlemen, I supported the resolution. Mr. Coops, the official liquidator, said he bad re , eeived two claims since the approximate state ' ment was laid before the shareholders at the London Tavern. The first claim was for 20,0001. made by Mr. Hartland, the late manager. (" Oh, oh.") This claim was made up of three heads, first, 19,0001. espur ahem money of the Lombard-street premises ; secondly, a claim for lowa position as manager ; and thirdly, damages for loss of character. (Roars of laughter.) Another claim of 8,0001. had been made by Mr. Whinney with regard to the old Hamburg bank, but several errors had been ad mitted which would probablr reduce the amount. But for these two claims the approximate statements were correct. Numerous other speakers addressed the company upon matters chiefly relating to Whirs disposed of at previous meetings. Some warm exchanges of opinion took place, in which the words " lying" and " swindling" were prominent. After a prolonged discussion, a most uproarious scene occurred, in consequence of the chairman announcing his I intention of making some explanations respecting " the 14,0001. ueetion." The majority of the gentlemen on the platforn4objected so strongly, that some of them shouted until they were hoarse, while Mr. Piercy and other gentle men, notwithstanding the earnest recall of many share holders, left the meeting. ThechairmanamidetinterruPtion entered into a review of the career of the board of which he was a member, but no explanation,although the body of the meeting seemed anxious to elicit it, was given on " the 14,0001. question." It was stated by Mr. Piracy fwho had been prevailed upon to return) that when the directors were nominated the names would be submitted to a general meeting of the shareholders for confirmation. The shareholders were also recommended to trust in the committee they had appointed. The resolution having been ultimately carried, the pro- ceedings, having lasted from six to ten, concluded. REPRIEVE OT THE NOTTINGHAM MURDERESS.— Jane Ravin, sentenced to death at the last Notts Assizes, for the murder of her child, has been respited during her , Majesty's pleasure. The respite was made known to the ; unhappy young woman on Saturday evening, when she was so overcome by the intelligence that she was unable for some time to give utterance to her feelings. MURDER IN LONG-ACRE.—A cruel murder has, from all appmrance, been perpetrated on the person of a boy about e4ht years of age, in a place called Neile's-pas rage, near Long-acre. It appears that a young girl who resides in No. 1, Neile's-paseage, had occasion to go to the cistern for water at an early hour yesterday morning, when she was horrified to find the body of a boy hanging by a piece of cord in the cistern, and his bands bound behind his back. She raised an alarm, and the body was out down, but no one recognised it sathat of any child known in the neighbourhood. Inquiries were at once made, and it was ascertained that the boy was the son, by a deoeased husband, of a woman who resides in No. 2, te Lion sheet, Seven Dials, and who is married to a man who is stated to be a tailor. The deceased boy lived with his aunt somewhere in the vicinity of Drury-lane, but it is stated that at two o'clock yesterday morning his step father took him away, and after that time the poor lad was not seen alive. The string with which his bands were tied corresponds with a piece of material which was found is his mother's house by the police. The manner in which the boy was taken in to the house in Neils's-wasp and strangled there remains a mystery. The mother and aunt have been taken into costody, but the step-father has not been seen nor beard of since the murder. The parties bear an unfavourable character in the neighbourhood where they reside. The body of the boy lies in the work house awaiting the coroner's inquest. A MAN POISONED BY NTTRO-GLYCBRINE.—MT. C. J. Carttar, coroner for West Kent, yesterday held an inquest on the body of Daniel O'Leary, whose death it ap pears was caused by swallowing a small portion of a liquid known as nitro-glycerine, the combustion of which la capable of producing mast disastrous results. It appears that the deceased was a labourer in the employ of a govern ment contractor, and whilst at work near the proof butt at the Royal Arse nal be found under some timber a bottle containing about half an ounce of a white liquid which smelt like whisky, and the man drank it. He was after , wards taken ill, conveyed home, and attended by a me dical gentleman, who administered emetics, &c., but after • lingering about 12 hours the sufferer expired. It appears • that the bottle and its contents had been left by some . officers who had been engaged in experiments with the ' liquid for explosive purposes. A verdict was returned in accordance with the evidence. - • THE CHOLERA.—Great alarm was created in North Shields on Sunday by two vessels which arrived in the port with a large fleet of light vessels from the south, having been put into quarantine. They are the schooner Barnard Castle, of Guernsey, and the brag Ocean, of Col chester, both from London. The Barnard Castle had • man 11l of cholera on board, and he was removed to the cholera hospital at South Shields. The master of the Ocean died at four o'clock on Sunday morning at sea, having only been ill from nine o'clock on Saturday night. His body has been interred at South Shields. A telegram was received in North Shields on Saturday, stating that Mrs. English, wife of Mr. H. English, of that town, sur veyor, had died suddenly at London, it is said, from cho lera.—The cholera is increasing in LiverpooL Six addi tional deaths have occurred since Sunday. FIRE AT A RAILWAY CARRIAGE WORKS NEAR BIBINNOBAN.—On Sunday morning a fire was disoovered on the premises of Messrs. Marshall, railway carriage builders, at Saltley, near Birmingham. The works are very extensive, occupying a space of nearly thirteen acres. The fi re broke out in one of the earriage-building shops. being nearly 160 feet in length. From the combustible nature of the materials the flames spread with much rapidity, and fears were at one time entertained that the whole of the premises would be burnt down, but efficient aid having been speedily obtained the fire was confined to that part of the buildings in which it broke out. A great deal of property, manufactured and otherwise, was de stroyed. The damage done will amount to several thou sand pounds, but the insurance is ample. The cause of the disaster is not known. CoLmatort ON THE GRKAT RASTERN RAILWAY.— A collision between two goods trains took place at the Bury St. Edmunds station of the Great Eastern Railway on Saturday. One of the trains was being made up and was nearly ready to start when another (which ought to have been stopped at some distance off, bat in eoimequonoe of the greasy state of the rails from wet did not answer to the break) ran into the stationary train, smashing the break van and oonsiderably damaging the front part of the eapae. The guard and one er two others who were in the break van which was demolished had sees the danger and had quitted the van In time to escape in*, o therwise they would in all probability have boa killed_ _ _ Carerai.
