The Cu %IRMAS, in moving the adoption of the report and aca,u n ts, said, though the dividend was only 5 per cent., the accounts would, he thought, be considered satisfac tery. The sum written off amounted to 16,000 f. and but for the acceesity of writing that off, the profits would h ve been 49,000 f. That there had been some mile management could not be doubted. Had the ashes of the board been carried out such losses coubl not have occurred, but it was difficult perhaps, to do at Rio all that was required. The period for the calling in of deposits was, indeed, reduced in ac cordance with the recommendation of the directors, but, notwithstanding that, when the news of the disasters in London bad arrived at Rio, the bank had to pay 1,000,0001. in about 15 slays. The manager was obliged to apply to the Ituik of Brazil, and the govern ment afforded assistance by discounting its own Treasury bills. Relief was sent out from this country to the extent of 175,010. in gold. The liabilities had now been reduced by one-half, and special co 'asionere, who went out to vimine the state of affairs, had reported that everything was now in an easy position and that the future of the huik was hopeful. The truth was people gene rally had been carrying on a larger business than they ought to have done, and if that bank had not had a larger capital in proportion to its transactions than other banks in a similar position, it would no doubt have suffered greater losses. The hoard had reason to believe that the capital of the company was safe, and that there was no reason to dread any future accounts. Adverting to the proposed amalgamation he observed that it had been put an end to by the baron himself, and read a letter written to the baron by the directors in which it was remarked that all that now remained was to di vide the expense of thu negotiations. The present liability as regarded capital was only 750,000/. ; if the amalgamation had taken place it would have been 3,•2000,000/., and it would have been impossible to say who would bold the new shares : and, under all the circum stances. he congratulated the meeting that the scheme of amalgamation bad been abandoned. Mr. Kis - mum would be glad to know what bad debts had come to the knowledge of the board since the :Ohba June. The CHAIRMAN did not know of any bad debts. There bad Men three failures in which the bank was concerned. In all the bank had snore than sufficient security to cover the advances, but in one of these cases the debtor had left Brazil, and the board could not tell what would be the exact results. To meet any possible loss arising out of this but case 20,000 f. had been reserved, but the directors hoped that it would not be required. In reply toe question, The CHAIRMAN said the board found by consulting able counsel that the shares must remain for the present in their actual position, but he hoped that a bill would be pawed in parliament authorising the reduction of the nominal amount. la reply to a suggestion that the board itself Amid get a bill introduced, as Lord Overstone last session easily suc ceeded iu throwing out a similar measure, The CHAIRRAN said he thought it was best to leave the matter where it was, as it was in good hands. Mr. DRAKE (the company's solicitor) stated that a gene ral bill bad been submitted to Sir Stafford Northcote, hav ing for its object to enable companies to reduce the nominal amount of their shares, adding, that no action on the part of a single company could he successful. After some further discussion the report and accounts were adopted. A dividend of Va. lid. per old share and of :ts. 'AI. per new share having been declared, the premed taps terminated in the usual manner, Yesterday a meeting of colliery proprietors and ethers was held at Wakefield, to consider in what manner the proportion of the surplus of the Hartley Colliery Awl dent Relief Fund'allotted to the miningdistrietadYorkshire should be appropriated. The amount, including interest, is about 2,500 f., and a strong feeling has been expressed in favour of the proposal to retain it in the hands Of trustees as the nucleus of • permanent fund for pro. litho; relief to the sufferers from colliery accidents. There is also in hand • sum of about 0301. from the Oaks Relief Fund of 1f147 ; and the two amount., it is thought, might appropriately be devoted to this purpose. The meeting decided to appoint Earl Fitawilliam, Lord Wham eliffe, and Viscount Halifax trustees for receiving' the Hartley surplus, and a committee was chosen to decide definitely on the appropriation of the fund. MR. T. 11. Porten, M.P., AT ROCHDALS.—Last evening Mr. T. B. Potter addressed his constituents in the Public Hall, Rochdale. The Mayor (Mr. Robin son) presided. The large ball was densely crowded. Mr. Potter, after referring to the various subjects brought before parliament during the last session, said he was present in Rochdale on the :11st of March last, when the corner stone of the Town-hall was laid by their dis tinguished townsman, Mr. John Bright. (Cheers.) As he drove through the streets on that occasion he wit nessed such a demonstration and enthusiasm which gave the lie to the calumnies—(great cheering)—which have been heaped from various quarters upon the head of Mr..folin Bright. (Cheers). Those persons ought to be pnsent on the 30th inst., when the people of Rochdale would present Mr. Bright with an address. Let them judge with their own eyes, and hear with their own ears, eat then they would see if Mr. Bright was popular here Or not. Mr. Henry Kelsall moved a vote of confidence in Mt Potter. Mr. J. L Ashworth seconded the resolution, and it was carried unanimously. RANO( ET TO Vlscou it MOCK.—Lord Monck has written to the Mayor of Portsmouth (E.

MALTON, TNOR:DA Y. The weather in Yorkshire is much milder, only 11 .legrees of frost being registered on Wednesday night. Very heavy falls of snow have °occurred, particularly towards the east coast, which a strong north-east wind IL. drifted tremendously in places. The railway cut. tings are hare and there nearly full, and coneidei - able delay ia occsaioned. On the Hull and Scarborough line, between Bridlington and the latter place, a dead lock has ensued. On Wedneolay afternoon, the cuttings through the span of the welds near the Speeton summit became so drifted that a oode train from Scarbro' to Hull stuck fast, and the clouds of snow from off the wold hills came down so heavy that the train could not even he backed out of the snow. Shortly afterwards the Hull cx. press to Si:sidle.) . ran into the drifts at the s a m e part of the line, and stuck fast. The ii.lo train from Scarhro' shared the same fate, and brought up in deep snow a little way behind the goods trains. The K p.m. train from Hull came to a stop also a little behind the imprisoned express, and there all these trains have been stuck durin g th e night, the passengers making themselves as comfortable as possible under the awkward circumstances. At :; o'clock this morning, a relief train and tool van and 711C11 left the Drillield end, but up to 10 o'clock no intelligence of help to the prisoners had been received. The morning train from Hull ventured on. but how it has fared is not yet known. The traffic, meanwhile, is being worked between Hull and Scarborough, via the Melton and Drib eld line,. which, though much driftesl, is yet open. The communication from Balton to Scarborough, Whitby, and Think has also been kept open. Wheat. rerley. l Mat. Onto.

The Stanford Mercury appeals to the conservatives to allow Mr. Fitzpatrick Vernon to take the vacant seat " as Bquietly and courteously as that gentleman allowed Lord urghley and Mr. Ward Hunt to be returned in 1865 awl Lord Burghley to be re-elected alter taking office in 1860," but lest the spirit of conciliation should be dead on the conservative side, " and a few restless squires, in their dislike of the people and the slightest extension of the franchise, should again resist the fair claims of the libe rals, the latter should without delay organise their com mittees, and be prepared to meet their opponents with alacrity and vigour." THE MARQUIS OF LANSDOWNE AT CALNE. The persons who recently left the parish church at Caine having applied to the Marquis of Lansdowne for the grant of a site on which to build a " free church," have received from the noble lord a courteous, but st the same time, a dignified and emphatic denial ; he will neither sell nor give a piece of land, and for this cogent ream that he cannot regard them as a sect of dissenters, but as a number of persons who simply refuse to worship in the pariah church because they disagree with the doctrines taught by the vicar. We are told that his lordship con chided his reply with expressing an earnest hope that the estrangement between themselves and their clergyman would soon cease to exist. A site has since been procured in the New-road. Last Sunday a clergyman from Tod morden (who has also seceded from the church) preached, but we have not heard what approval he received from those persons who still insist upon being called members of the church of England.—Deri.v.s Gazette. _ _ WESTMINKTa HOSPITAL. —iii7i'rancis Mason, F.R.C.S.. of Conduit-street, late aaristant-surgeon to King's College Hospital, has just been unanimously elected assistant-surgeon to the Westminster Hospital, in the vacancy occasioned by the appointment of Mr. Chris topher Heath to the assistant-surgeoncy of University College Hospital. It may be interesting to our readers to know that the young oyster brood of the South of England Oyster Company (Limited) spatted last June at Haylinr, have not been injured by the late severe west' er, and are in perfect health.

The dealings in public securities to-day are upk , n a limited scale, and prices iu most cases exhibit a drooping tendency. The large withdrawal of gold from the Bank yesterday for the Continent, and the anticipation that additional sums will also be taken, in consequence of the tlatne 4•4 of the Paris exchange, have cause,] speculative 'tales for lower prices, while little support is aflOrdedi to the markets by purchases on account of the public. Consols have further declined 1-16 to .1 per cent., and some of the British railway stocks are Ito 1 lower. There is an inquiry, however, for a few of the foreign bonds, at a slight improvement. The supply of bills in the discount market to-day is very small, while the amount of money seeking employment is superabundant. The charge for the best paper is 2i to 3 per cent., but the former quotation is rather exceptional. In the Stock Exchange loans fur short periods, on the English government secu rities, are offered at 11 per cent. Consols are now quoted 91.11it0 1, ex div., both for money and the account (February 7). Turkish bonds of 1862 are in request and have advanced # per cent. Turkish of 1865, Spanish Passive, the Committee's Certificates, Land Russian scrip have likewise improved 1, but Italian of 1861 andMexicanhaverecededtothelikeexteat. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 54 to 65, ex div. ; ditto of 1865, 291 to A, ex div.; Greek, 141 to ; Spanish Passive, 21f to 22; ditto Certifi cates, 144 to ; Italian of 1861, 53,1 to 1, ex thy. ; Mexican, 17/ to 18 ; and Russian Scrip, 11 to it prem. The scrip of the new Chilian Loan is per cent. lower than yesterday, at prem. American securities are unaltered. The 5-20 Bonds are quoted 721 to ; Erie Railway shares, 43 to 44 ; and Illinois Central, 81 to International Financial shares are quoted to 2g dis. ; London Financial, 14 to 17/ dis. ; General Credit, 2 to 11 dia. ; Credit Foncier, 51 to 5 dis. ; and Hudson's Bay, 14 to ex div. It is notified that the liquidators of the British and Californian Banking Company are now prepared I to return to the shareholders the sum of Si. per share of the paid up capital of 71. 10s. per share. The ordinary general meeting of the shareholders of the North Western Bank will be held on the 28th inst. The new Chilien Loan of 2,000,0001. has been received with a considerable degree of favour, a circumstance which is not unsatisfactory, from the proof it affords of a continued disposition on the part of the public to exercise unusual discrimina tion in their investments. It cannot be doubted that this loan is well secured, while it at the same time yields a rate of interest sufficiently high to enable the prudent investor to set apart a good sum annually as insurance against those contingencies which are applicable in a greater or less degree to nearly all foreign securities. The conditions required by rational irvestors being ap parently fully complied with in this instance, the applications yesterday, the first day, have reached a total of about 6,500,0001. It is thus already evi dent that the allotment will be a work of no ordi nary difficulty, and it is inferred that, as no de posit has been required from applicants, the agents for the loan will exercise a free discretion in the distribution. _ _ The demand for gold for exportation was rather active yesterday, owing to the flatness of the Paris exchange, and in the absence of supplies in the market, a further sum of 141,0001. was taken from the Bank, of which 100,0001. consisted of sovereigns, and the rest of bats. There is an impresaion that further withdrawals will take place, as it would appear that payment has to be made, amongst other things, for recent imports of corn. _ _ ' - --• The steamer La Plata has arrived from the West Indies with 257,5001., of which 193,000/. is silver, and 64,500/. gold. The Colonial Bank of Australasia have announced that the Six per Cent. Mortgage Bonds of the Melbourne and Hobson's Bay United Railway Company, offered by them as for sale up to the 26th instant, have been all taken up. In the matter of Overend, Gurney, and Co., the motion to remove certain alleged shareholders from the list of members was brought forward before Vice-Chancellor Melina yesterday, and ex cited considerable interest. The Attorney-Gene ral opened the case on behalf of the Defence Asso ciation at considerable length, and explained the hopeless insolvency of the old firm at the time of the transfer of its business. It appeared from the evidence that the directors of the new company were well acquainted with the fact that the 4,213,896/. was only estimated to produce, even under the most favourable circumstances, a sum of 1,082,0001., leaving a known deficiency of 3 ,131,8961. , To meet this loss, the directors say they were under the impression that the 500,000/. to be re ceived for the goodwill, added to the value of the private estates of the partners, would be sufficient. It appeared from the evi dence that of the sum estimated to be pro duced from the private estates, an amount of 767,000/. was due from the Norwich Bank, and. 300,000/. was included as the value of the good will of that establishment. These estates of the partners were in no way made over to the limited company, but were retained by them, and are now in the possession of their trustees for the benefit of all their numerous creditors. The case is to be again brought forward for argument to-day. The Great Western Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 1,9451. over the correspond ing period of 1866 ; the Great Northern, an in crease of 2,759/. ; the Great Eastern, a decrease of 3,459/. ; the London and South Western, an increase of 597/. ; the Lancashire and Yorkshire, an increase of 3,2791. ; the North Eastern, a de crease of 4,642/. ; the Manchester, Sheffield. and Linoohishire, a decrease of 1,895/. ; the North British, a decrease of 501/. ; the London, Chatham, and Dover, including the Metropolitan Extension and branches, an increase of 482!. ; the Metro politan Extension, an increase of 181. ; and the Kent Coast, a decrease of 801. The directors of the London and Provincial Ma rine Insurance Company have resolved to recom mend to the shareholders at the ordinary general meeting the payment of a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum . The following is the 21st report of the directors of the National Discount Company (Limited), to be submitted at the general meeting on the 23rd instant : The directors have to report that by the payment on the Ist September last of the second instalment of 2/. 101. per share on the new shares created in February, 1806, the paidaip capital on the 31st December amounted to 690,910/., and the reserve fund to 390,940/. The accounts which the directors have the pleasure to present herewith, notwithstanding the very depressed period over which they extend, show results which cannot but be grat ify ing to the shareholders, the gross profit having amounted to 130,232/. os. lid., and after providing for the c urrent expendi tore, directors' and auditors' remuneration, making ample provision for bad and doubtful debts, and reservinr.; 1:03 7. 17s. 3d. toward. redemption of premises, and 42,174/. 2s. Ad. for rebate of interest on bills not yet due, there remains, with the rum of 3,633/. Is. Id. brought forward from the previous half-year, an available balance of 77,7721. 10s. ltd. This enables the directors to declare a dividend at the rate of 20 per cent. per annum, free of income-tax, upon both old and new capital, and to carry forward 9,527/. 10s. Ild. to the next account. The directors who retire by rotation on this occasion are Mr. M. H. Chaytor, Mr. A. Mackenzie, Mr. W. J. Thompsan, and Mr..l. R. Thomson. all of whom, being eligible, otter themselves for re-election. The shareholders will have to appoint auditors for the current year. The dividend will be payable on and after the Ist February. A general meeting of the London and Burton Bottled Beer Company (Limited) is called for the 25th inst., when a dividend is to be declared.

The return of the Bank of England for the week ending Wednesday, Jan. 16, compared with that fee the previous week, shows the following changes : Circulation issue 03,272,045 Decrease £189,040 CircuLttion active 21,300,420 Demise 13,390 Public deposit. 4,467,001 Increase 22,03:0 Other deposits Goverument securities iu 13,111,06 d No change. kinking department Other securities in banking department 19,9:1:1,711 Decrease 1,751,2611 Coin and bullion in both dewrtmeats .......

What the Bank has parted with through withdrawals of private deposits— reaching nearly two milliona--has been almost wholly made up to it by repayments of advances on private securities (the decrease in this item being 1,751,2G01.) ; and the result is a draught to the extent of only 114,611". upon the reserve. The Bank is relatively stronger than it was last week, because it has lost little reserve by compariun with the large diminution in its liabilities. In the coin l and bullion there is a decrease of 158,007/.

There was a very poor show of Flish wheat on sale here to-day, ooastwue and by land carriage. As the atten dance of buyers was limited, the demand for all kinds was inactive, at about Monday's currency. In foreign wheat, the supply of which was moderate, very little was passing in formerterms. The impala con tinue on a full average scale. Flouting cargoes of grain commanded full prices. Fine barley changed hands freely at quite previous rates. Grinding and distilling sorts were steady. The transactions in malt were only moderate, yet prices were well supported.

CHAPLAINS IN Woaenovsr.s.—A deputation, consisting of Mr. Hodgson, M.P., Mr. E. Potter, M.P., and Mr. Charles Howard, M.P., had an interview with the Right Hon. Gethorne Hardy, at the offices of the Poor-law Board, Whitehall,• yesterday, and presented a memorial praying for the suspension of the order of the board appointing a paid chaplain to the workhouse at Carlisle, an appointment to which the board of guardians in that city is strongly opposed. After hearing the state ments of the hon. members in support of the memorial, setting forth that religous ministration was efficiently given under the present system, Mr. Hardy consented to defer issuing the order for six weeks, on the promise that Mr. Hodgson would, in the meantime, report the opinions ex r eseed at this interview to the board of guardians. THE CLEILOY AND THE RELIEF OF THE POOR.— The Bishop of London bits written to the committee of the Metropolitan Relief Association, 21, Regent-street, requesting them to meet daily at 4 o'clock, as in the time of the cholera visitation last autumn, for the immediate distribution of relief through the clergy and their district visiting societies. The committee on Wednesday voted 875 f. to necessitous parishes. The accounts of the dis tress witnessed by a member of the committee who had visited the east of London to make inquiries on the spot were appalling. " The committee," writes the bishop, " will be most ready, as in the autumn, to act in concert with any other we ll as associations. Though we employ the agency of the clergy, it is a strict rule that no distinction be made between members of different reli gious bodies." — Wis. -- MINES.-(THIS DAY.) ONI o'CLoca.

SKATING " RINKS". —A Canadian writes to a content :—" It may not be out of place to state the mode opted at Toronto, Canada West, toprevent, in great • measure, similar ca/amities to that which has happened in the Regent's-park. A few years ago a breach was made in the eastern part of the peninsula forming the Bay of Toronto, causing the ice suddenly to break up. Several lives were consequently lost. This led the lovers of skating to form themselves into clubs for constructing what ate celled skating rinks. These rinks are formed by making an embankment of earth from ono two feet high roiled vacant level ground near water, which is run or pumped into them tos few inches iu depth. Being shallow, the water soon freezes, and after the ice becomes row.th a little more water is run over it during the night, so that it once more gets a smooth surface. In this way skating can be enjoyed many weeks longer during the season than in the ordinary way. bloat of these rinks sew enclosed by a high board fence, and have connected with them a small house with a fire and refreshments. Borne are lighted by gas at night. A sinall fee is charged for admission. They have bad the effect of keeping nearly all persons oft dangerous ice, and I think might be adopted. with advantage in this country."
