Witness only lived a at two a inutes' walk from the deceased's place, in Green street, s,. that if anything dangerous was seen the friends could hare called her in at once. There were plenty of ta...ple in ilece,sed's house to fetch her, but no one came. The next morning witness did not tell Mrs. Maa si,asan, tie t she would go back and return in half an hour.

The •,eue;e were gorged with blood. The pericardium was e.1e.1 with serous fluid. so as to displace the heart f , ur, its proper position between the lungs. The right lung was inflamed, and was covered with yellow layers ri all,, sive material. The interior of the lung was ntew , ly cengested. The left lung was congested, unit these wei.- also old adhesions. The other viscera were all healthy. There was no inflammation of tie utvrus or peritoneum. There was no sign of sore throst. or of br-mchitis. The throat was quite healthy, and the symptoms observed before 'teeth must have arisen from the .listvieled pericardium. Witness was sure that the in r.,anestioti ef the right lung could not have been set up less than -is hours before death—it might have existed four kys. It arose undoubtedly from effusion into the pericanlium. Mr. Wl:Rama—We may take it that the confinement L.,.1 nothing to do with the death Witness thought it had.

Their business was then yield- in. , them close upon •2 1 1 her cent. The accounts for the year had been made up, and the profits amounted to n 0,010.„ but unfortunately they were subject to these contingencies. It was right they should be aware that these leases arose from mercantile accounts which hail Loco, connected with the bank almost since its conantemament, anal this ho mentioned that it might not be itim , ined that the losses bad arisen from any tiepin tore from ordinary banking business. The report stated that the directors feel confident, from the im proved character MO steady extrusion of their business, the surplus profits of the hank will enable them shortly to restore the reserve fund to its former amount. The ground fm this was the large profits they were making-941,000f. a ) , •ar. They had opened 911 new accounts during the last year—(hear, henrl—and they hail not least one account which they were desirous of keeping. l'or the payment of the dividend at the rate of per cent. a sum of 15,000/, was put down, anal 10.1.00. for bonus. This made the dividend equal to 10 per as in. A portion of it was called bonus in order to preserve the form of the accounts. In pursuance of the powers given to the directors by the deed of settle ment, he ilecLireil at dividend of G per cent and a bonus of Is. per share. A Sat.tn r1101.14:11 asked what was the amount of the ac ceatances _ the en 11IRM ‘N s a id be declined to answer. It wns not desimi.le to let other institutions know how they gained their profits. Besides the question was not the amount of the acceptances but the securities for them. Mr. Shenff LvrErr asked whether not only every bad debt but eve ry doubtful debt was struck off The ('IIAIRMAN said if there was any reliance to be placed in the report the question was answered by the declarath.n in the report. (Cries of " No.") Mr. Sheriff LT err said that was not an answer to his question. . . . The ‘litioAN Baia moat clearly all the bad and doubt ful dchts exiticipated by the bank had been cleared off. . . . . Mr. :Sheriff IXr►rr asked if these debts had been ac cumulating and the directors had now come down with them all at once. The CHAIRMAN Raid a great portion of them were con tented in one old account. In July he should have thought that the low would not have been so great, but the securities which they had had to realise had not brought near 42 much as he then anticipated. Mr. Sheriff Lr-Err asked whether the loss was made in the panic, or bad been an accumulation for a year or two before. The CH %IRWIN Mill Rot an accumulation of a year or two ago, but with regard to the panic, the question was, what was a panic Mr. Sheriff laccrr—flare you made a loss of 62,000/. this year T The CHAIRMAN—AImost entirely. The bulk of the failures had taken place this year. The questions conveyed an imputation that the directors did not bring the losses forward immediately. ]tut it was not always possible for them to know whether a loss had been incurred. When they did know they bad brought them forward. Mr. Sheriff laeriT said he thought each half year ought to bear its own burden, and he wished to know whether that was to be the future policy of the company. The I'itaIRMAN said, if he understood the question, it wasfwhether. as corn as a bad debt occurred, they were im inediatelyto carry it to the profit aodlossaccount beforethey knew the actual riault. There were very great objection. to such a course, and it was not a proper mode of conduct ing business. Mr. Sheriff Lverrr said then he was afraid that they would have a recurrence of such reports as the present. (Cries of " No," " No honker would say so.") After some further conversation the report was unani mously adopted, and a cordial vote of thanks was given to the chairman and directors. A similar compliment to the manager and officers and to the auditors terminated the proceedings. ENGLISH AND SWEDISH BANS.-(THIS DAY.) This day the extraotdinare general meeting of shareholders was held at the Lotidon Tavern ; Mr. T,,rrie in the chair. The directors' report was as follows : " The directors have to report that, in reply to the cir cuLir issued by them on the let November last, they have received answers from the holders of 15,391 shares in the hank, and that the following is tbe result:- 9,2:N votes for the provisional agreement with the Scandinavian Credit Share Company, but should the agreement not be carried out the directors have reason to know that a large portion of these share holders would desire the bank to be continued. In addition to the shareholders above referred to, shareholders representing 1854 shares have recorded their votes for the continuance of the bank, but the holders of 4.311 shares have expressed their desire for a voluntary winding up. The director.' have used their hest endeavours to carry out the provisional agreement with the Scandinavian Credit Share Company. As, however, the four shareholders who hold the 4,311 shares have declined to accept the provisional agreement, the only alternative to be considered is whether the bank is to be continued or wound up, if such opposition be not withdrawn. At the meeting held on the 27th September last, the directors, with the imperfect kuowledge they then had of the wishes of the general body of the shareholder., stated it to be their intention, if the rapes meat were not carried out, to curtail the business of the hank so as to close it and return to the shareholders, as soon as possible, the capital that is intact. Since such meeting, however, the directors have received from Sweden the report and re solution of a meeting of the Nhareholders, held at Stockholm, strongly remonstrating against the bank being wound up, and several of the English share holders having also expressed their desire that the bank should be continued, the directors do not feel that they would be justified in recommending • liquidation of the bank iu opposition to the wishes of so large a pro portion of the shareholders." The CHAIRMAN said that the directors, since the last meeting, had done everything in their power to carry out the promise they then made. The shareholders knew the terms on Mob they proposed to enter into an arrangement for transferring the business of this compan y to the Scandinavian Credit Share Compan. company had • paid-up capital of 168, 0 001., on Which they divided 9 per cent. in 1864 and 13 pe r cent. in 186 . 5, carrying over 12,000 or 8 per eent. more on the paid capital to the reserve fund. The arrangement made was that for every 251. in this company the shareholders should receive 151. in cash or in share' in the Scandinavian Company. But the Scandinavian Company were anxious that about half should be taken in sieves and the other half in cash. Some of the shareholders in the English company thought that 15/. was not a suffi cient equivalent for their 25/., and they asked to be paid in cash. The matter was referred back to the director. of the Scandinavian Company, but they declined to modify their terms. He admitted that these shareholders who wanted more than 15/. as an equivalent for their 25/. bad geed reason for that, but if they persisted in requ.ring more, and the Scandinavian Company would not give more, the enntract must as they desired it would, he was afraid fall through. The business of the bank, according to the promise made, had been reduced as much as possible. The liabilities were reduoed from 192,5001. to 30,2. - .71., sothat they may be said to be out of debt. The assets of the cam paey at thelast estimate ammuited to 480,000/., so that they might be said to be out of debt. The question for the consideration of the meeting was what should be done under the circumstances! (Cries of " Wind up.") (The prZeitecllngs were still going on when we went to Pte•] THE WEATHER, THE PARK 4, ♦ND THE RIVER.— (THIA Dar.)—The cold was lees intense last night, but the thermometer registered 12 degrees below freezing point. The ice in the various parks, which is now very firm, has been crowded all the forenoon with persons skating and sliding, and amongst the former were many ladies. No serious accident had been reported up to 12 o'clock. The quantity of ice in the River Thames has completely stopped the steamboat and lighter traffic, and the works on the Thames Embankment and Black• friars-bridge are almost entirely suspended.

The audience, which was a large one, was presided over by the Rev. Dr. Temple, head master of Rugby School. Among the other gentlemen present were Mr. T. E. Potter, M.P., Mr. C. S. Roundel', secretary to the Jamaica conunisaion ; the Revs. A. M'Lsren, G. W. Conder, and S. A. Steinthal, Professor Greenwood, and Messrs. B. Armitage, R. Johnson, Jacob bright, F. Taylor, and T. Johnson. " We learn," says the Putr;e, " that as a supple ment to the reorganisation of tho army, a series of mea sures and regulations arc being prepared at the Ministry of War relative to the service of the military stores, clothing, camping, hospitals, and ambulances, to the in. ternal alministration of the corps and their transport by sea. All those matters are of consideLiblo importance, and the necessity of their reorganisation has been ad mitted." " Rumours are gaining ground," says the Nord, "that the project for the reorganisation of the French army, if not entirely abandoned as reported some days back, has at least, undergone important modifications, some of which concern the very basis of the plan origin ally published in the Afoiiiteirr. The proposals which will be communicated to the Legislative Body thus appea r likely to differ essentially from the reforms decided on in principle by the high military commission. They are said to be less a new orginisation of the army than a kind of corollary engrafted on the old French military system." A letter from lladeraleben of the tith, in the France, says:—" You cannot form as idea of the emotion caused in Northern Schleswig by the conscription for the Prussian army. Nearly four thousand youths have let the country to escape wearing the Prussian uniform ; they have taken refuge in Denmark, where they will enter the Danish army. It may be remembered that the treaty of Vienna stipulated that, during six years, every inhabitant of Schleswig could choose between the services of Den. mark or Germany, but the Prussian government seems to ignore the provision altogether." MR. BRIGHT AND THE LANeASHIRE RELIEF FL:NIL—The Standard lately stated in ono of its attacks upon Mr. Bright, that it had discovered the name of Messrs. Bright Brothers in the list of subscriptions to the Lancashire Relief Fund for SOL, and proceeded to sneer at the amount. A clergyman in London who saw the article wrote to the honorary secretary of the Rochdale Relief Committee a letter, the answer to which is as follows: " Roche Cottage, Rochdale, Jan. 12.—My dear Sir,—l should have replied earlier to your note, but have been waiting the return to town of the local treasurer to our relief fund (G. L. Ashworth, J.P.), being milieux that anything I say to you should be well authenticated. I extract the following from Mr. Ashworth's letter just to hand The sum subscribed by Messrs. Bright was 1501. With the exception of two subscriptions, this was the largest amount given by any one fine. It is perfectly true that Mr. John Bright authorised me to enter their firm for such sums as from time to time might be needed. You will of course know that I should not have been justified in taxing them more than others. Is ought to be known that Mr. Bright was fully prepared to do what the committee considered, neces sary:, which, ie_ you know, was composed of all political and religious views.' I think the above will answer your purpose, and, as one of the principal secretaries, I can corroborate all that Mr. A. bee said. You never need fisr to give • positive contradiction to anything imputed to Mr. Bright which is illiberal or discreditable to a gentle man or a Christian. I say this, and have known Mr. Bright intimately for forty years. The more his character is examined into the brighter he will shine.—Yours very truly, oti VER ORIIERML P.B.—Meson.

Two LADIEN DRoWNED AT LEAMINCTON.—Yea terday a sad accident happened at Leamington, by which two young ladies, Miss Emily and Miss ELIIIIIA Place, were drowned in the river Leam. About 4 o'clock, whilst skating with some other friends, she ice suddenly broke, and the whole party were precipitated into the water. The son and daughter of the Rev. J. H. Smith struggled to the shore with great difficulty, and another young lady was rescued by means of • rope. The deemed were buoyed up for sonic time by their clothing and by holding on to the rope, but at last disappeared beneath the ice. Their bodies were not recovered until life was extinct. The deceased were sisters, and related to most respectable families in Leamington. A BRIEF CAREER —When the first oil fever broke out in Pennsylvania in 186:1, one of the earliest and best oil-producing farms w as th a t o f t h e Wid ow M'Clintock, in Venango county. lieveral wells with produ c ts ranging from 2,100 to 200 barrels a day were struck at intervals during 1863 and MM, and the income in money from the territory was almost fabulous in amount. The old lad owning the property did not live long to enjoy fol. good fo rtune , but died in 1804, and left her all without reservation to her adopted son. This youth—like the here of Miss }Awards's pleasant novel. " Half • Million of Money," who came suddenly into possession of a like amount—had not been taught to understand the value of dollars and cents and, unlike that character, he had no refined tastes, and threw his wealth away with the most lavish folly. Of course he rushed to New York ; and there in • year and a half he squandered two millions of dollars. Of course the most ingenious extravagance was necessary to spend this enormous amount. He not onl entered into every species of debauchery, not on ly lost a hundred thousand dollars in two nights at faro with Hon. John Morrissey, but bought superb teams and gave them away after an hour's ownership, supported • swarm of bunion leeches of both sexes, and even equipped a negro. minstrel troupe, presenting each member with a costly diamond ring and pin. His brilliant career is now over, and, oddly enough, he tills the positron of door keeper to the travelling minstrel company which his own munificence organised—" Skiff and Gaylord's troupe and his farm on Oil Creek has been disposed of at public sale for arrears of government tel.—Bug.* elcirtrtiar, Dec. 29.

THE IMPERIAL BANK (LIMITED).—(THIS DAY.) —The ordinary general meeting of the shareholders of this hank was held at the London Tavern, this day Mr. Alderman Lusk, M.P., in the chair.

A MAN FROZEN TO DEATH NEAR Dr nnertsrleLn. —Yesterday a lodging-house keeper at Meltham, near Hud dersfield, died from errosnre to the cold. The deceased, whose name is John Hirst, went with James Armitage to the Harden Moss Inn on Sunday afternoon, about two and a half miles from Meltham, and there had four pints of ale each. They left between 5 and 6 o'clock, and when they had gone to Pricker-lane, about two miles from Melthaut, Hint fell, and his companion was too tipsy to assist him home, and left him there. He called at the man's house and told his wife. She says he only told her that he left her husband in the lane, without stating his condition. The man did not come home ; and yesterday Armitage and soother men went to look for him, and found huti stiff and insensible a few yards from where be had fallen. They took him home, but he died in about an hour. Deceased was 63 years of age. MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) Urn O'CLuCK. In the Stock Exchange to-day the dealers are almost exclusively engaged in the settlement of the fortnightly account, and little other busi ness is going forward. ♦ few purchases have been made in anticipation of a reduc tion in the Bank rate on Thursday next to 3 per cent., but at the moment there is no general desire to enter into fresh transactions. Never theless, the tendency is rather favourable, espe cially as regards some of the British railway stocks and foreign securities, which have improved. The funds are steady, at the closing prices of yesterday. The announcement made this morning with re spect to the affairs of Messrs. Dent and Co., of China, has been received with much satisfaction in mercantile circles, particularly in the neighbour hood of Mincing-lane. There is a fair demand for money to-day, but bills are taken at Ito per cent. below the Bank of England taillitiothi. The charge in the Stock Exchange for advances from day to day, on English government securities, is 11 to 2 per cent. Consols are now quoted 904 to 91, for money, and 91 for the 7th of February. Foreign stockieare inquired for. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are iu chief request, and have risen per cent. • Italian of 1861 have also advanced 0, and Turkish of 1865 Spanish Passive and Mexican are firm. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 54 to 541, ex div. ; ditto of 1865, 29il 'too, ex div. ; Greek, 14!, to ; Spanish Passive, 224 to g ; ditto Certificates, 14i to 1; Italian of 1861, 531 to cx div. ; Mexican, 184 to 4 ; and Russian Scrip, 12 to 7, prom. United States 5-20 bonds have receded 1 per cent., viz., to 72;1 to F, ; but Erie and Illinois Cen tral railway shares are unchanged at 451 to and 811 to 821, respectively. International Financial shares are quoted 21 to 21 dia. ; London Financial, 14 to 1 dia. ; General Credit, 17. to 1 j dis. ; Credit Fonder, bt to 4& dis. ; National Discount, 9 1 1 to prem. ; and Hudson's Bay, 161 to;, ex div. HALF-PAST THREE O'CLO4 • Consols are fractionally better, at 91 for money, and 91 to A for the aca t. No bullion openitions have occurred at the Bank. ►t Paris this morning the Three per Cent. Renter opened at 69fr. u7c. , showing no change of im portance. The accounts of the International Financial Society for the year 1866 show that the prutit of 30,693'., brought forward from the last account, has been absorbed, and a loss of 23,934/. incurred. As a matter of course, no dividend is to be declared at thu meeting to be held on the 25th inst. It is stated that the negotiation for a new Egyp tian Loan has led to no result, the terms offered by the party proposing the luau being, as we antici pated would be the case, far below those which the Viceroy, with due regard to his credit, could alone accept. This statement cannot fail to be satisfac tory to the holders of existing Egyptian securities, all of which were issued at prima far above those now current in the market. About 14,000 sovereigns were withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for Alexandria. The Helvetia, from New York, has brought only about 2,0001. in specie. Telegrams received yesterday from China, dated the 15th ult., make no reference to the prevalence of a mercantile panic, as was rumoured in London a few days ago, but contain the satisfactory infor mation that Messrs. Dent and Co. were prepared to take up the bills, amounting to about 30,0001., which were refused acceptance in November last by their London agents, Messrs. Dent, Palmer, and Co. Below is the ninth report of the directors of the Alliance Bank (Limited), to be presented at the general meeting on the 17th inst. : - The directors liars to report that the net quilts of the bank for the last half-year lifter making the necessary deductions for interest on current and deposit accounts, current expenses, bad debts, and rebate on bills not yet due)emountto Zi,b9d4 1:e. 2d. which, with 1,012/.175.9.1., balance from the previous half-year, makes a total of 24,7111. 11cf. now to be disposed of. The directors, therefore, recommend that a dividend for the last six months of 10s. per share, or V. per cent. per annum, free of income tax, be rr,w declared, which will absorb 19,7941. 10e. ; that 6601. 4s.

At South Wheal Frances meeting, held on the 7th lust., the accounts showed a balance of proat on the two months' operations of 2061. 19s. 3d. An account is even by Archdeacon (loold in the frisk papers of • scene of au unusual character, in which he was chief actor, at Athea, a village upon his property, in the county of Limerick. A misunderstanding having arisen between the archdeacon awl the Roman catholic priest of the place, the Rev. Martin Ryan, to which the latter had made reference from the altar some days before. the archdeacon walked from the protestant parish church ou Sunday after service into the chapel, and the service there having just concluded, be advanced to the altar rails and begged Mr. Ryan's leave to make an explanation, adding on his honour " as • clergyman awl a gentleman, that be would not utter one word direapectful to Mr. Ryan per sonally, or a syllable unsuited to the sacred character of the building." Mr. Ryan reminded him that it wuelti unusual proceeding, but having su ff ered him to Archdeacon Geoid nude his explanation ant apo logy the intrusion and retired. The people, his own tenantry. listened respectfully, and priest and parson separated good friends. 99 93 84 65 9 4 02 100 101 85 80 100 102 96 99 96 97 93 93 ONDINART SHARKS AND STOCKS. id I Pcl.
