NEWS---THIS DAY . Two O'CLocx. The annual meetiing of the Provincial Bank of Ireland took place to-day--Sir. W. Minto T. Far quhar, Bart., M.P., in the chair. The directors' report, which was unanimously adopted, referred at sonic length to the distress in Ireland which had prevailed since 1859, through the disease in the potato crop, the scarcity of fuel, and the inactivity of business in the linen trade, occasioned by the American war, but notwithstanding this adverse state of things, the bank had made satisfactory progress, and the directors were enabled to recom men d a dividend at the rate of 20 per cent. The amount of " rest" in last year's accounts amounted to £251,693 Bs. 5d., out of which had been deducted for .dividend, &c., £143,693, to which has been added during the year from the profit!, of the bank £111,355 1 ls. 4d., maki ng the "rest" now £255,048 19 s. 9( 1 ;• - - lit was now recommended to pay an ex traordinary dividend of 30s. on each £lOO share, and 12s. on each £lO share of the capital stock of the bank, in addition to the ordinary dividend of 4 per cent., making the am ount to be then paid £2 10s on every £lOO share, and £1 on each £lO share for the half-year ending midsummer next.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25.275 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 105 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 4-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4261 per mark, and -the short exchange on London is 13.61 per £1 sterling. Stan dard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The• course of exchange at New York on London for bills at do dayo' sight is 112 i to 1121 per cent., and the premium ox gold is about 11 per cent. At the above rates there is a prat on the ilnportation of gold from the United States.

An application was made to the Court on the part of Constance Wilson, who was charged with administering oil of vitriol to Sarah Carrell, so as to endanger her life, for a postponement of the trial till next sessions, on the ground that there had not been sufficient time to prepare the defence. . _ Mr. Ribton, who was engaged for the prosecution, did not object to the postponement. The application was granted. UTTERING OF FORGED SCOTCH NOTES. Mary Burnes, 45, was indicted for feloniously uttering two forged one pound notes of the National Bank of Scot land, with intent t r defraud John Matthews. On the 29th of April the prisoner went up to a policeman in Leadenhall-street, and asked him where she could get some Scotch notes changed, and he directed her to the shop of Mr, Matthews. She then proceeded there and produced the notes in question, which turned out to be a portion of a number of blank impressions stolen from the premises of Messrs. Perkins and Bacon, the engravers, of Fleet-street, the names of the secretary and other officials of the bank being forged to them. The suspicions of Mr. Matthews being aroused, he asked the prisoner where she got them from, when she said that she had brought them with her from Edinburgh about nine months ago in a box with a quantity of other articles. On a police officer being sent for she varied her statement as to how she became possessed of the notes, saying that she got them from a man of the name of M'Donald in the street. When the officer told her that he knew a person of the name of Jack M'Donald, prisoner said his name was not Jack, but Joe. The last version she gave of how she got the notes was, that a young man in Glasgow had given them to her. Mr. Bacon's evidence was to the effect that a number of impressions of note-plates had been stolen from their pre mises, and that it was impossible for the prisoner to have had them in her possession fcr nine months, as they had been printed during the present year. The Secretary and Manager of the Bank proved that the signatures were forgeries. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. A former conviction, in the year 1854, was produced against the prisoner for felony. Mr. Justice Willes having consulted Mr. Baron Channell, sentenced her to four years' penal servitude. On hearing the sentence the prisoner exclaimed, in an agonising tone, " Oh my poor children." NEW COURT. (Before Baron Channell.) UTTERING A FORGED NOTE. Charles Patterson was indicted for uttering a forged £5 Bauk of England note. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner entered the shop of a Mr. Wright, a cheesemonger, at Camberwell, and asked for change for a five pound note, saying that he had been sent there by Mr. Searle, an auctioneer, Having suspicions against prisoner, Mr. Wright told him he would accompany him to Mr. Searle's to ascertain whether his statement was true. The prisoner said he was qui' - agreeable, and they both went out to go to Mr. Searle's. The prisoner managed to get Mr. Wright to enter Mr. Searle's premises first, but immediately his back was turned Patterson ran off. A cry of stop thief was raised, and the prisoner was stopped. On being taken into custody another fictitious note for £5 was found on his person. The jury found the prisoner guilty. Sentence deferred. ATTEMPT TO MURDER. John Cox, an excavator, was indicted for attempting to murder his wife. _ The prosecutor said othe resided in Whitechapel, and on the night of the 14th April the prisoner came borne about twelve o'clock at night in a beastly state of intoxication, and in a short time after he began to quarrel, and then he wrenched a leg out of a wooden arm-chair, and commenced beating her about the head in a very savage manner. She called out for help, but the more she implored for mercy the more he beat her. After he had beaten her with the leg of the chair, he took up a fiat iron and struck her a blow, which produced insensibility. On coming to she found the police in the house, and then she was conveyed to the London Hospital, and the prisoner was secured by the police. The stepdaughter of the prisoner corroborated the evi dence of her mother. _ The police-constable said when he took the prisoner into custody he told him he had nearly murdered his wife, and said it was a good job, and he'd do for her completely before long. The prisoner, who was undefended, said his wife had aggravated him to a very great degree by calling him names and pulling his nose and whiskers, before he struck her. They had both been out drinking, and she was as much in fault as he was. The prosecutrix was recalled by the learned judge, and said the whole of the statement of the prisoner was false. The jury found the prisoner guilty of feloniously wound ing his wife, with intent to do grievous b, dily harm. The Learned Judge said it was a most brutal assault, and he sentenced the prisoner to five years' penal servitude. FOURTH COURT. LIBEL, The case of Mr. Matthews Orr, editor and proprietor of the _Kentish Journal, published at Woolwich, who stands indicted for publishing a false and scandalous libel on Mr. Ales. Stark, of that town, was postponed until next session. THIRD COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) STEALING BRANDY• St e phen Thompson pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with stealing a quantity of brand y . Some former convictions were proved/ and the Court sentenced him to 10 years' penal servitude. POLICE---THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH •STREET, THIS DAY. MURDEROUS ASSAULT BY AN APPRENTICE. —George Hall, of No. 6, Queen-street, apprentice to Mr. Myrthell Brunswick, manufacturer of inlaid furniture, 126, Newman street, was charged with assaulting his master by striking him on the head with a hammer. . _ Mr. Brunswick, who had a bandage over his eye, said that the prisoner, his apprentice, was complained of to him by his foreman that morning on account of not working properly for some days. He spoke to the prisoner, who be came very impertinent, and he (Mr. Brunswick) gave him a slight slap on the ear. Upon this the prisoner drew up a hammer and struck him a severe blow with it in the eye. He gave the prisoner in charge, and then went and had his eye examined and dressed by a surgeon, who said had the blow taken effect a quarter of an inch higher he would have lost his eye, and the wound have been dangerous. In answer to Mr. Knox, the prosecutor said the lad was in the third year of his apprenticeship. He had not worked properly, and he had stopped some of his pocket money, and prisoner said he would not work. Mr. Knox said he feared if he sent the prisoner to prison as an ordinary offender, and he got among the vagabonds in the House of Correction, he would be ruined for life. He would send him to the House of Detention for a week, and at the end of that time he would come to some decision on the case. A CASE POR THE DIVORCE COURT.—AN UNHAPPY PAIR.—Mrs. Caroline Byrne, of 7, Leicester-place, was cnarged with threatening the life of her husband, Mr. Ed. win Byrne, mantle-maker. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-srreet, a• peered for Mr. Byrne, and said that the defendant had been summoned, but on the summons being presented to her she tore it up, and repeated the threats against her husband, and, therefore, a warrant had been applied for. The com plainant was a mantle-maker. The defendant had for some time given way to habits of intemperance, and she bad threatened to run a knife through her husband, and to smash out his brains. She had assaulted her husband, and draggcd him about the house by the hair of his head, thrown a large pair of scissors at him, nearly stripped him, and then turned him out of the house. He would call Mr. Byrne, and also one of the officers of the court, who would speak of the defendant's violence. Mr. Byrne then deposed that his wife had threatened to stab him, and tried to throw a saucepan of hot broth over him, dragged him all over the kitchen by the hair of his head, and tore off his clothes, so that he was obliged to wrap a cloak round him. She had also broken some of the panels of a door. He applied for a summons, and on the officer serving her with it, she again threatened him, and also said that she would set fire to the house. On many occasions she had taken up a knife, and once she had bitten his , arm severely, and was sentenced to two months' imprisonment, but he interceded for her and got her off. Mr. Byrne denied part of her husband's statement, an , said her husband had frequently struck her. Henry Barns, the gaoler, said he served the summons the defendant. Ho had known the parties for some years. Ho persuaded her to make peace, but she rushed out of the roam, and said she would do for her husband before night. Finding that he could not make peace, and that she conti nued very violent, he left. It was told to the magistrate (Mr. Knox) that there had been frequent summonses between the parties, and upon this he remanded the defendant for a week.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—YESTERDAY. The SPEAKER took the chair shortly after twelve o'clock PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the Berwick-upon-Tweed Harbour Bill were considered and agreed to. The Bolton an d Bl ac kb urn Road Bill, and the Shrews bury and H ere f or d Railway Bill were considered and I 0 ordered to be re a d a thi rd time. T ITONS. Petitions were presented PE by Mr. s theron Estcourt, from Norwich, against the Church Rates Bill ' • by Mr. Hadfield, Hadfield from Sheffield, against cert a i n clauses in the Savings Banks Bill ; by Mr. Hope, f rom t h e Synod of Lothian and Tweedale against the Scotch Education Bill; and by several m embers, in favour of the Church Rat es A bolitionßill, CHURCH RATES ABOLITION BILL. Sir J. TRELAWNY moved the second reading of this bill. In one respect he might feel discourag e d in respect of this measure from the repeated defeats he had sustained, but, as on last occasion, the defeat was in a great measure the act and deed of the supporters of the bill, in conseq uence of their having been led away with the idea of a compromise on the subject, that discouragement was greatly lessened. There was scarcely an hon. member in that house who did not consider that some measure was necessary on the subject, and he believed that the opposition he would meet with on the present occasion would in effect be that the mode he pro posed to regulate the matter was not the proper one. The object of hon. members on the Opposition side of the house seemed to be to get rid of his bill by holding out hopes of the settlement of the question by compromise; but when this mode of settlement had been attempted, it had been already seen what insurmountable difficulties rose up in their path. He considered that Dissenters were right in objecting to the form of compromise which had been pro • posed, as he must say that toleration was not so prevalent in the present day as some people would have them believe. The other night he heard an hon. gentleman get up and ask the Foreign Minister what action ha intended to take as regarded the imprisoned Protestants in Spain, Of course he could say nothing on the subject at the time, but ho must say he felt indignant, and if he were Spanish Minis ter he should writea very authoritative letter to the Foreign Minister on the subject, and tell him to see that toleration was exercised in his own country before he found fault with the mode of the exercise of it in others. (Cheers and laughter.) It was said that without church rates there would be no security for the restoration of churches ; but he considered that church rates were the dry rot of the Church, and were church rates abolished to-morrow he had no doubt but that a perfectly efficient system for the restoration of churches would be devised by the heritors of the p trish. By the system of church rates the church wardens were the parties responsible for the restoration and repairs of the church, and they needed not to go far to see the disgraceful manner in which they performed their duties in that respect, converting some of the finest speci mens of their old architecture into unseemly and uncomfort able structures. The fact was, he considered church rates as altogether unsuited to the present age and time. What would be said by philosophers 200 years hence in respect of this system of church rates ? What would be said by the Wesleys, Darwins, Macaulays, or, greater still, by the Buckles, respecting this system ? Why, would they not characterise it as a political mon strosity, some strange specimen of a fox with wings, which might have been presumed to exist in a former age. He would not detain the house, as the subject had been discussed so often, and all the arguments for and against the abolition of the impost were well known. He must, however, say that let the supporters of these rates declaim as they might, hon. members on the Opposition side of the house could not upset the Government, and they could not hold the Government unless they consented to the abolition of church rates. He therefore moved that the bill be read a second time. Mr. C. BUXTON seconded the motion, and stated that he did so in order that some compromise might he arrived at on the subject. He considered that the tendency of the public mind was at present directed towards a compromise, and though it might be some time before that was come to, still he had no doubt that a scheme would ultimately be devised which would satisfy all parties. As a means to that compromise, he considered that the penalty at present imposed for the refusal of church rates should be abolished. That would do away with all practical grievance in the case, and would reduce all objections to church rates to a theoretical character. Mr. S. ESTCOURT said he had understood that the hon. member who had just sat down rose for the purpose of seconding the resolution, but his speech would lead one to believe that such was not the case. (Hear, hear.) That, however, was but one instance—and he had no doubt they would hear many others in the course of the debate—of the impossibility of the measure proposed by the hon. baronet. The hon. baronet knew his opinions on the question very well, as they were expressed by him when the bill was before the house last session. These opinions were exactly the same this year, but he could not help say ing that while 23 bills had been introduced on this subject since it was, first broached in the house, neither the house nor the Government had proceeded with these in the same creditable manner they had done in respect of other matters which bad come before them. No doubt several of these schemes were mere crotchets, but still none of them did get that consideration which the house were in the habit of giv ing to other subjects. In most of the schemes which had been prepared by the other side of the house a distinc tion was drawn between Churchmen and Dissenters, and rights were given to one party which were with held from the other. All the schemes were mere expedients, which seemed to get rid of the main diffi culty, but none of them stood upon a well-defined constitutional principle. He considered, therefore, that to deal properly with this question they must deal with it on a constitutional principle. He would, therefore, move as an amendment—" That it is unjust and inexpe dient to abolish the ancient customary right, exercised from time immemorial by the ratepayers of every parish in England, to raise by rate amongst themselves the sums re quired for the repair of their church, until some other pro vision shall have been made by Parliament for the dis charge of those obligations, to which, by custom or statute, the churchwardens ; on the part of the parish, are liable." Lord R. MONTAGUE seconded the amendment. Sir C. LEWIS said he had not intended to take part in the debate, but after the remarks of the right hon. gentle man who had moved this amendment be would say a few words, and he must say that, after the history of the case given by the right hon. gentleman, when he stated that 23 bills had been introduced, and that useless discussions in numerable had taken place on these, he considered that one might almost despair of introducing any measure at the present day which would satisfactorily dispose of the case. It was admitted on all hands that the existing law admitted of amendment, and how were they to arrive at such amend ment ? On that point he must say that he despaired of any such amendment being come to while the present law was in existence, and he should therefore, as he had done on former occasions, support the second reading of the bill now before the house. In respect of the proposal which he had himself made on the subject, he had made it as a modifica tion of a measure introduced into the House of Lords by the Archbishop of Cteeterbury, and the report of a commit. tee, of which the Earl of Derby was a member. The object of that measure, and the recommendation committee, of that _from the payment of church was to free any one rates who alleged themselves to be Dissenters, and as that was considered a system of ticketing Dissenters as it was called, his proposal was in effect that none but those who were in the habit of attending the parish church should be called upon to pay. He considered the amendments of the right hon. gentleman to be wrong in point of fact,and in point of law. As to the right of church rates being a right so, for several exercised from time immemorial, that was not ourts of law parishes had refused to exercise it, and c so Besides had said they could not be co mpelled to do the Braintree that, the House of Lords had decided unless tjo case, that a valid sale could not belnia de he (Hear, hear.) ma The rity of the vestry conse nted t, . ake a rate with t h ou t e churchwardens therefore c ould not m es try, and the law giving consent of a majority o f the v in them no power to mak e such rate th e y could not be said the right t odo 5 O, H e terms of the amend ment to have re considered the ame ndment, there theperfectlyreadingof hill. (Cheers.) Mr. MACDONOUGH said if there was any her Majesty's G su bj ect more than another on whicha Government ought to have introduced with measure , this was one, for it was so intimately connected the welfare of the Church of which the gracious Sovereign was the head. He consi dered the m easure before the house as one of the most illogical compositions ever presented to it. It was illogical becaus ninegued from particulars to generals , for was it not argin that way to say that becau se fou r h dred parishes were opposed to church-rates, fi therefore, in they ought to be abolished in all the 12,000. The rig. h en . gentleman the Secretary for War had said that church rates were not of immemorial usage but the right hon. gentleman was much at fault with ' time of Canute church-rates had been put in practice, and had recourse to for the support of the Church. The right to do so was a custom, and sanctioned by the com mon law of England, and it would be improper to abolish it without providing a substitute, and not follow the advice of the right hon. gentleman the Secretary at War and pull down the building without providing for the means of building it up. (Cheers.) Mr. J. R. MILLS supported the measure. At the pre • sent time, were all the churches in connection with the Established Church full, there would be still five millions of people without any church accommodation. No doubt, the Church of England said, you can build churches for yourselves; but then there remained the grievance that though they did so, they would be compelled to pay for the maintenance of the parish churches, into which they could not enter. The amendment placed on the table would not advance the settlement of the question one whit. The only way to settle it would be to submit a substantial and rea sonable proposition for a compromise, but as that had not been done, he should support the second reading of the measure. (Hear, hear.) Col. BARTTELOT said that in the large towns, such as Birmingham, Manchester, and Leeds, church rates had been nominally abolished, for they were not sought to be enforced ; while in the smaller towns the animosities against them were year by year diminishing; and in the rural dis tricts, where the people were all married in the paris/t church and buried in the churchyard, they did not o 1 i'° to pay them, and in these circumstances he thought."' ht time had arrived when a compromise on the subject g be come to. opposite Mr. BRIGHT said he believed hon. gentlemeit._ were acting in this matter not as religious Chure"" f=elo.'n".l. as political Churchmen. They ha d b y some al hon, gentle verted this into a party question. The right and disowned man the member for Wiltshire had repudiate n this sub• every measure which had b een introdue ii) l f e a ject by himself or any one else, because, cl) they Were not founded on constitu tional principles. But how could the am endment proposed by the right hon. gentleman place the question on constitutional prip • eiples. For the last 28 ) y eara they had been discussing th is question on the ground that, in the opinion of the great body of the people what might have been just as wise to establish a tew hundred years ago was not just or wise at the present time when the times and circumstances had ale gether changed. (Cheers.) He could have wished that the right hon. gentleman had been more explicit in some of his declarations. He said that in the Established Church there was a general interest. The whole community was interested in her, but while he admitted that the general community was interested in the Established Church so far as Christianity was preached in her, yet he was no more interested in that respect in the parish church than he was in the Wesleyan Chapel or any other Dissenting place of worship. (Cheers.) It was not wanted to diminish the number of the Established Churches or their useful ness, all they wanted was that tho Voluntary principle which had in other respects done so much for tho Church should hive fair play in this matter of church rates. He wanted those who opposed the abo i lition of church rates to be explicit on the subject, and to come boldly forward and say that the landed aristocracy and the upper classes of the country who had such influence in the Parliament and the country were too poor to maintain their own church. (Cheers.) If they are not, why persist in maintaining a system which was unsuited for the present times and circumstances. He had no hesitation in saying that were they to leave matters exactly as they were at pre sent except the power to enforce the rate, they could by voluntary means realise a larger amount of money in the shape of rates than they did at present, while all that heart burning and bad feeling which existed on the subject would be done away with. As to the Government taking up the question, he considered that they were belled to do EhGis once ern said,n s e d e u m ri i n n g dis L p o o r s d ed A t b o er t d o e u e c n h ,s the ; nio: but it wou ld seem t h at t h e more h oe, members failed Government me in succeeding i n se ttli ng grea t ques ti ons th e more the friend hi o a t f Government,A he had no doubt that Government would go on well enough so long as it kept clear of politics —(laughter)—and he must say that the present Government • were getting somewhat into the same state. (Laughter.) If the y gave up politics, and cared nothing for carrying such g measures as this, then, he said, they bccupied their positions on the Ministerial bench as—what should he say— superior clerks. (Loud cheers.) He asked them, then, in a session in which no thing had been done, except spending money away from the hard earnings of the people, to make it f amous for one day by supporting the present measure, and thereby carrying out one of the greatest principles in the Christian faith, of "doing unto others as they wished others to do to them." (Loud cheers.) Sir J. FAKINGTON contended that the Church of England was essentially the poor man's church in a much wider sense than was the dissenting chapel, for ho could always get accommodation in her free which he must pay for in the latter. He joined heartily in the wish that this question should be settle d, and he believed th e r e was not a churchman or dissenter who did not believe that the time had now arrived when it ought to be settled in some way or other. He was sure, h o wever, that the questi on wou ld never be settled by th e legislation of private members, and he therefore considered that the Government ought to take it up. The right hon. gentleman proceeded to refer to the manner in which the Church of England was treated by some of the extreme section of Dissenters, some of them charac terising her as an engine of Satan, and contrasted with these insulting insinuations the conduct of other Dissenters, representing the conduct of the one as being tyrannical and intolerant, while the other was Christian and friendly. It was impossible too much to regret that the question should be embarrassed by the ravings of this class of Dissenters, The object of these parties was Jo undermine the Chuteb. They cared not for the conscientious scruples which some people entertained to the payment of this rate, but they wished, by means of the abolition, to attack and undermine the Church, and their conduct had secured its reward, for they had seen in the divisiens of that house the altered state of public feeling respecting it. (Hear.) He hoped, however, that the conciliatory conduct of the Church of England, and some of the more moderate of the Dissenters, would be the means of bringing about a sati s f actory settle ment of the question. (Hear, hear.) Mr. DILLWYN supported the measure, stating while he should be glad to see the Government come forward and take up the question, he must say that there was little encouragement given them to do so by the present state of the question. If there was to be any compromi se! , it ought to come from the Opposition side of the house, as they had been the great opponents of every attempt to legislate on the matter. Mr. DISR.eELI said gentlemen on his side of the house had been remanded of the length of time this mater had been under discussion in the house and the 23 measures which had been introduced respecting it. If that showed anything, ho considered the meaning of it to be that the question was not ripe for discussion, and that there were no abuses attaching to it which required remedy. But the fact was that the pretext for legislation, was not the cause of the movement, for when the treeth came out it was found that the destruction of the Church of England was the avowed object, and that being the case, he thought no one would wonder at the length of time which the question had 'oeen under dis cussion. He had always maintained that no satisfactory settlement of this question could le come to except by agreement, and he was of that opinion still. Oa that point he agreed wit l 2, the hon. member for Birming ham, because the ori- K mal object was now avowed, and the Government havi ng sanctioned it could have no difficulty in taking it '.p. Ho emet also say with the hon. mem ber for Birmingham that the Government seemed back ward in taking up thcso public measures, and the ques. tion of church rates was of all others one they ought to take up, for he found the other day that a member of her Ma jesty's Government presided at a meeting of the Libe'. ration Society, which was probably an induction of the future policy of the Government. (Cheers.) He was not per haps a Cabinet Minister, but he was at all events acquainted with Cabinet secrets. (Cheers and laughter.) He ob jected to the limited area in which the right hen. gentle man the Secretary of State for War had placed this question. The right hon. gentleman had referred to A • measure introduced into the other House of Parliament by the Archbishop of Canterbury, but this was a political and not a religious question, and being so it was not a question for arehbishops but for statesmen to consider. There was involved in the question the principle of an Established Church, the lights of local governments, and the hereditary privileges of the great mass of the people, and he must say he never wont to a division with greater confidence of success. (Loud cheers.) Sir J. TRELAWNY having briefly replied, The house divided, when there appeared— For Sir J. Trelawny's bill Against it Majority against the second reading —l The announcement was received with much cheering on the Conservative side of the house. The amendment was then put as a substantive motion, and upon the house again dividing there appeared— For Mr. S. Esteourt's amendment, . 288 Against it Majority for the amendment —l7 The bill is consequently lost, and the announcement of the result was hailed with loud cheers from the Oppose. tion benches, LONDON AND SOUTH- WESTERN RAILWAY. MEETING-(THIS DAY.) A special general adjourned meeting of the directors and shareholders was held to-day at the company's offices, at the Waterloo station, Captain Mangles in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said of the three bills that stood over for consideration at their last meeting only one was in a suffi ciently forward state to be submitted to the shareholders this day. That bill gave power to the com pany to authorise the construction of a railway from Weymouth to the Isle of Portland, an I to extend the Wilts Somerset Railway to the Harbour. The line would be about four miles and a half in length ; but including branches and, tramways it would extend to about six miles. By the agreement already in existence it was arranged that the be line should be constructe d b y an independent com pany, and, w h e n completed that it should Western and South Western leased to th e G reat companies, to be held by them conjointly, each comp any paying £2,250 per an num for the same, f ree of all deductions. Theoctlaa the irm sa a i n d o b o i n u. claded by proposing a resolution, approv ing The motion was then agreed to unanimously, and the meeting was then further adjourned until the 29th inst. A special general meeting was then held to consider a bill to authorise the London, Brighten, and South Coast Railway to make certain new lines of railway in the coun ties of Surrey and Sussex. The CHAIRMAN explained that the object of the railway was to improve the connection with the West London Ex tension, Crystal Palace, South Western, and London and Chatham and Dover lines, and to enable the South Wes tern Company to make arrangements for working over those lines. The bill was merely permissive, there being at present no arrangements going on with those companies. A formal resolution was then submitted to the meeting, approving of the bill, which was agreed to unanimously. The CHAIRMAN said the other bill, No. 2, which was: for the making of a railway and harbour in the county of Devon, to be called the Sidmouth Railway and Harbour, was not yet in a sufficiently matured state to be submitted to the consideration of the proprietors. The meeting then adjourned. It is stated that the directors of the Ot toman Bank have determined that 25 , 000 shares, of £2O 0 4 ) with a deposit of £2 each, shall be forthwith issued st par, the option of taking such shares being offered, 133 the first in stance, to the shareholders registered in ll' e company's books on the 6th inst., the day of the specialgeneral meeting which authorised this issue, in the proP °rti on of one new share to each old share, and that tbo e now shares shall participate pro rata in the division of profits as from the 30th of June, 1862.
