MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEW& CITY, Two o'CLocK. During the last few days rather less animation has prevailed in the markets for foreign and colo nial produce. Tea has been very inactive, as the dealers are waiting the arrival of further intelli gence from China by the overland mail. The in quiries for sugar have been rather limited, but good descriptions fully maintain their previous value. For coffee there has been a moderate inquiry, chiefly for home consumption, and fine qualities of planta tion Ceylon command full rates. Rice has been dealt in to some extent, and prices have been well supported. For saltpetre there has been only a limited market, and the stocks are rather larger than at the same period last year. Tallow has been in fair request, but at a slight decline in value compared with last week's rates. There is very little change to record in connec tion with the money market. The demand con tinues moderately active, and the rates still indicate increased firmness. During the - next few days a large amount will be required to meet railway calls and the commercial bills of the 4th, but the effect will be merely temporary, as there is no inclination on the part of the public to encourage new en terprise. Letters from Liverpool report that the Cotton Market yesterday remained quiet, but steady, at about Friday's currency. The sales amounted to 6,000 bales, 500 of which were taken for export and 500 on speculation. The Railway Share Market presented an inanimate appearance, and prices were without any alteration of importance. A further sum of £40,000 in gold was added yesterday to the stock of precious metals in the Bank of England. The only arrival of importance announced this morning is the Result, from Melbourne, with £145,600 in gold. At a meeting of Messrs. Calvert's creditors yes terday, it was resolved to form a joint-stock com pany, according to the plan recommended by the inspectors, for the purpose of carrying on the busi ness of the brewery. There were very few dissen tients, and it is expected that they may be induced to withdraw their opposition. At the annual meeting of the South Australian Banking Company to-day, Mr. Divett, M.P., in the chair, the report, showing an available balance of profit for the year of £37,870, was adopted ; and the proposed dividend, at the rate of 9 per cent. per annum, was agreed to unanimously. At the special meeting of the shareholders of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company to-day, a reso lution was passed authorising the directors to tender for the Government postal service between Panama and Australia. The variation in the English Stock Market to day has been very limited, and upon the whole the Funds have been well maintained. A little depres sion, however, is now apparent, owing to the re ceipt of lower prices from the Paris Bourse ; but the decline is limited to / per cent. Speculation is still very inactive, and the consequence is, that a comparatively small operation is sufficient to influence the market. Consols have been 92k and they are now 92 I. The New Threes and the Reduced are steady at 931 ; India Loan Scrip, at 9 3i ; Exchequer Bills, at 225. to 255. prem. ; and India Bonds, at 9s. to ss. dis. Bank Stock improved to 219 221. Business in the Foreign Stock Market continues rather restricted, and prices are unchanged, with the exception of Turkish, which are rather firmer, the Old 6 per Cents. being 74 76; and the New Loan 60 62 ; Brazilian 41 per Cents. are 911; Russian 5 per Cents. 105 ; Spanish Deferred 301; and Belgian 41 per Cents. 931 ; Mexican were heavy at 17/ 18; Russian 41 per Cents. at 95, and Sardinian at 81. In the Railway Share Market the dealings have bee n on a very limited scale, and, in some instances, at slightly reduced rates. Midland have declined es., and South Western and Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton, 10s. Eastern Counties and Great Westerns improved 10s. ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 16s. ; and South Wales, .£l. In the Foreign Market Lombardo-Venetian Old shares declined to 7 ; and the New shares to 61. The Colonial undertakings have also shown a slight downward tendency. Grand Trunk of Canada have receded ss. ; Great Western of Ca tada, ss. ; and East Indian, 10s. to £l. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous shares are dull. Union of Australia have declined Ll ; and Royal Mail Steam, 10s. ... BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. !dank Stock 4 , ._per Cent. Reduced Annuities ...... 41 ew 3 per Cent.

(Peers present—The Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord Cranworth, Lord Chelmsford, Lord Wensley dale, and other peers.) SECOND APPEAL-SCOTS MINES COMPANY AND ANOTHER V. LEADHILLS MINING COMPANY, ET. AL. The further hearing of this part-heard appeal was re sumed this morning. Mr. R. Palmer, Q.C., resumed, and concluded his argu ment for the appellants. Mr. Forsyth, barrister, followed on the same side. The present appeal has been taken against various inter locutors pronounced by the Court of Session in Scotland, in a process of suspension and interdict, at the instance of the appellants against the respondents. The mining liber ties at Leadhills, belonging to the Earl of Hopetoun, are partly occupied by the suspender Borrow as assignee to the lessees of the Scots Mining Company, and partly by the respondents as assignees to the leases granted to the original Leadhill Company. The subject of the former leases lie to the north of and lower than the sub jects of the later lease, the ground generally inclining from south to north, and the two neighbouring burns, called the Glengonnar Burn and the Shortcleugh Burn, running nearly from south to north in Lanarkshire. The suspender's liberties are contained in twoleases—one granted by the Earl of Hopetoun in 1772, and the other, which was an extension of the former lease, under the same conditions to an additional portion of ground in 1805. The contest is as to the right to the leases of these old mines and water courses thereto belonging. The decision of the judges of the second division of the Court of Session was in favour of the respondent, and hence this appeal. This is the second, and there is also a third appeal relative to the same subjects. The case was proceeding when we went to press. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn, and a Special Jury.) THE QUEEN V. MARSHALL AND OTHERS.-THE ILLEGAL SALE OF COMMISSIONS IN THE ARMY. The hearing of this case was resumed this morning. Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., who appeared for Mr. Marshall, said that, before addressing the jury for his client, he had to contend that there was no legal evidence against the latter. The learned counsel proceeded to argue that " the taking, having, and receiving money" for an illegal pur pose, as set forth in the 23 counts of the indictment, was not proved according to the provisions of the 49th of George 111., a statute under which the present proceedings were instituted. He then addressed himself to the evidence, and said that according to the statement of Pugh, Mr. Marshall was not to receive any por tion of the . X4OO paid for Mr. Cunningham's commission, and that he yetained the £lOO out of the £2OO that was to be paid to Pugh in consideration of certain transactions between them previously. And how was the commission obtained ? According to the clear and explicit statement of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge and Sir Chas. Yorke, his commission was granted solely in consequence of the meritorious testimonials that accompanied the last applioation made on behalf of Mr. Cunningham. They also had on record the statement of Sir Charles Yorke, that it was impossible that any undue influence could have been exercised in reference to the commission. In fact, all that Mr. Marshall had to do with the transaction was merely placing Mr. Britson in communication with the firm of Armstrong and Co., and endeavouring, as an army tailor, to obtain an order for the outfit of Mr. Cunningham when he received his commission. He might as well attempt to implicate Mr. Ed wards in the affair, as he was the originator of the whole transaction, having advised Mr. Britson to apply to Mr. Marshall, as being a person likely to carry out his object relative to the commission. He contended that the jury had nothing to do with anything that occurred subsequent to the gazetting of Mr. Cunning ham, as the indictment referred to what had previously oc curred respecting the obtaining of the commission. It could not be shown that Mr. Marshall pretended that he had any influence whatever in facilitating the procuring of commissions ; and the only scrap of evidence against him was a suggestion which he made in a letter to Mr. Britson that £2O might be given in addition to the £4OO with ad vantage. With respect to the counts charging Mr. Mar shall with conspiring, if the act imputed to him was not illegal, these counts fell to the ground. What induced the other defendants to plead guilty he could not say. Per haps they believed that their conduct was such as brought them within the operation of the law, but it was most unjust to implicate Mr. Marshall with the transaction. He would contend still further that an army agent might be justified, not in receiving an exorbitant amount, but a reasonable sum, for any services he might render to aspirants for commissions, which, from his knowledge and experience, he was in a position to afford. There might be very considerable doubt on the evidence brought forward whether the other defendants, Mortimer and Eicke, had committed any offezico or impropriety throughout the whole of what had taken place respecting the commission in question. However, as regarded Marshall there was no evidence to show that he had entered into a contract to obtain this commission, for he merely pointed out a course that would probably enable Mr. Britson to effect his object. With respect to Mr. Cunningham, the fact was that the public service had sustained no injury from his appoindment, as he,had passed a most creditable examination, and the time had gone by when any but a qualified person could obtain a commission in the English army. The learned counsel concluded by reite rating the arguments he had previously used and calling on the jury to find a verdict for his client. Mr. Edwin James replied on the whole case, and main tained that Marshall was the most culpable of the parties engaged in the transaction which led to the present indict ment. By the Bth section of the act the commission of Mr. Cunningham was viodable as soon as the facts of the case were proved, and the act was passed purposely to protect the public from being defrauded by persons like Marshall, and the parties trading under the fictitious title of Arm strong and Co. The defendants had no influence whatever at the Horse Guards, or elsewhere, to enable them to pro mote the obtaining of commissions, and they did not know to what extent they had succeeded in defrauding ignorant persons of their money. The only service rendered to Mr. Britson was drawing up a letter for him and telling him to enclose certain testimonials, and yet for that he was called on to pay £4OO. Would not Mr. Cox or any other respectable army agent give this advice if asked without demanding money for it ? Mr. Marshall, in a very excited state addressed the court and said, that he could have proved a case in which Mr. Cox accepted money for obtaining a commission. His Lordship said that he could make any statement he desired through the medium of his counsel. Mr. Marshall said that Mr. Chambers refused to enter into that matter. Mr. M. Chambers explained that he did not feel justified in doing so. His Lordship considered that the learned counsel had exercised a wise discretion. Mr. James resumed and denounced the conduct of the defendants, which, he contended, was calculated to induce a belief that they had the power to corrupt officials in high quarters, and to rob young men of their money under false pretences. His lordship having read the section of the act which constituted the sale of commissions a legal offence, and ex plained the law relating to conspiracy, charged against Marshall in some counts of the indictment, went through the evidence in detail. The jury, after a brief deliberb.tion, found a verdict of guilty against the defendant. Mr. E. James applied to the court to pronounce judg- ment. His lordship said the case was one of such public im portance that he thought it better that judgment should be declared by the full court. Judgment was accordingly deferred. . - The recognisances of the defendants were enlarged, and the proceedings terminated. COURT OF DIVORCE. The full Court for Divorce in Matrimonial Causes will sit at Westminster on 30th June, 1859, and on the Ist, 2d, 4th, sth, 7th, Bth, and 9th July, 1859.

ASSAULT ON AN OLD MAN.—Frank Williams, described as a third mate, of 17, Royal-crescent, Notting-hill, and Louis Willoughby, grocer, of Princes-street, Drury-lane, were charged, the former with assaulting Jeremiah Har rington, and the latter with attempting to rescue the former from custody. From the evidence of the prosecutor, a watchman em ployed in guarding an open sewer near St. James's-market, it appeared that about three o'clock that morning the pri soner Williams made a rush at him, causing him to stagger, at the same time holding him tightly and then suddenly let go, causing him to fall on his head and inflicting a ter rible blow on the eye. (The complainant's eye was en v eloped in a bandage, and the poor old man appeared to have suffered a good deal from the effects of it.) Williams said it was accidental, and he was willing to make pecuniary compensation. Mr: Beadon said he thought that course, under the circumstances, would be the best ; and the case was settled by a sovereignbeing given to the complainant by Williams, and Willoughby being fined,los. for the attempt at rescue. John Jennings, a little boy of 10, -- was charged with stealing the ornamental tops of some iron railings in Queen street, (golden-square—the constable stating that the rail ings were in front of a house which had been burnt down, and no owner could be found. Committed for a month. THAMES. AUDACIOUS STREET ROBBERY.—An active and well known thief, who gave the name of James Byrne, but whose real name is Smith, was brought befoi e Mr. Selfe : charged with the commission of the following impudent robbery. Mrs. Charlotte Cooke, the wife of Mr. Stephen Edward Cooke, of the Dining-rooms, No. 6, Little Argyll-street, Oxford-street, stated that she went to the surgery of Mr. Arnold, in Brook-street, Ratcliff, last night, to have an operation performed upon one of her fingers. She was on her return home, along the Conimercial-road, a few minutes before ten, carrying in her hand a black bag, containing. 15s. in money, some books, and other property, when the prisoner came up to her, snatched her bag and ran away. She pursued him, and screamed aloud, and also called out " stop thief." The prisoner was stopped by a young man, and her bag, money, and property were recovered. The prisoner, a sullen and impudent fellow, here said, " The woman don't know what the bag contained. She said there was only 14s. 6d, in it last night when she was at the station." Mr. Selfe—You can make the most of that when you are before a jury. She now says there was 15s. in the bag. Two young men, named Story and Bissett, said they saw the prisoner running with a black bag in his hand. They seized him by the collar, and took the bag from him. Inspector Dendy, of the H division, said he believed the prisoner had just come out of the Wandsworth House of Correction, where he had been imprisoned for 12 months. Roche, the gaoler of the court, said that convictions of the prisoner in that court could be proved without diffi culty. Mr. Selfe said he had seen some remarks in the news papers attributed to his intelligent and experienced col league, Mr. Yardley, in which he entirely concurred, that it was most important for the proper administration of justice that wherever there had been a previous conviction against a prisoner charged with felony, the police ought to be in a condition to prove the former conviction. In the first place, he could not, under the summary power en trusted to him, sufficiently punish offenders for such auda cious robberies as these ; and in the next place, where a person had been previously convicted he had no right to convict summarily. After some further discussion, the 'prisoner was com mitted for trial, Inspector Dendy undertaking to prove former convictions when the prisoner was tried. DWELLINGS OF THE LABOURING CLASSES. MEETING AT HERTFORD. A meeting of noblemen, gentlemen, clergy, and other persons connected with the town and county . of Hertford, was held at the Town-hall, on Satur day last, for the purpose of taking into considera tion the propriety of forming a Building Company with a view to improve and erect dwellings for the working classes. On the motion of the Right Hon. W. COWPER, M.P., seconded by the Hon. and Rev. GODOLPHIN HASTINGS, Lord Raynham, M.P., was called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN said he felt it a great honour to be called upon to preside over so influential a meet ing assembled for the important purpose of taking such measures as were in their power to improve the dwellings of the working classes. Mr. ABEL SMITH, M.P., said he had great plea sure in proposing the resolution which had been placed in his hands—" That it is advisable to estab lish a Company in Hertford, to be called the Hert ford. Building Company (Limited), for the purpose of improving and erecting dwellings for the labour ing classes, in the county and town of Hertford, with a capital of £5,000 in 1,000 shares of £5 each." Mr. R. DIMPDALE, in seconding the resolution, said he had received several letters in answer to in quiries made by him, furnishing information rela tive to the manner in which the plan proposed to be adopted here, was carried out in other places. At Ramsgate they had a company in connection with the Metropolitan Association, in which 21 per cent. had been paid on all the shares. At first the profits were only 7s. per share, but now they were 14s. The Liverpool Society had been attended with a similar result. This society expended £4,200 in building, and let their houses at rents varying from 4s. to ss. per week, clearing £2lO or 5 per cent. on each share. He had written to the chairman of the Metropolitan Association, calling attention to what was proposed to be done in Hertford, and was re-. ferred by him to what had been done at Liverpool. This gentleman recommended that the Local Society or Company should be independent, as there would be some expenses incurred in connect ing it with the Metropolitan Association. What was proposed to be done here was to obtain a sub scribed capital of £5,000 in shares of £5 each, only £2 10s. being called for on each share. The work ing capital of the company would thus be £2,500. It would cost £BO or £B5 to build a cottage according to plans they had, and supposing they built 20 to begin with, the outlay would be £1,700, leaving £3OO for the purchase of land. This was perhaps more than they would have to give for it, but at Ramsgate they paid £322. £2,000 would thus be expended, leaving £5OO to pay preliminary expenses and form a sinking fund. Then, as to returns, 20 houses let at rents of £6 a-year would produce £l2O. This plan had been tried in other places besides those mentioned by him. A society had been formed at Hastings, and answered well. At first there was only one set of cottages, then two, and now there were four sets, and dividends were paid to the shareholders at the rate of 6 per cent. ; and the Hastings people said they did not see why they might not get rid of all the filthy places in course of time, either directly or by inducing the owners to improve them. Now this was just what they wanted to do in Hertford and other towns in this county—to convert the bad houses into' good. A society at Brighton had paid 43- per cent. to the shareholders ; and if they could do this in Brighton, Hastings, and other towns, why should they not do it here. (Hear, hear.) There was a great want of decent houses for the poor in Hertford, and at St. Alban's they were getting quite as bad. What they wanted to do was to make a beginning, to provide model houses, and to show landlords, who would not be unwilling to follow in their wake, that these im proved houses would pay. He could not agree with the remark that it was useless to do anything, un less they pulled down the old houses ; for by build ing cottages they would be drawing poor people away from the miserable places in which they now lived, and by inducing landlords to reconstruct and improve their cottages, they would be constantly diminishing the number of the inferior houses. (Cheers.) He thought they might at all events make the experiment here, by starting with an acre of land, which they would probably get without difficulty for £2OO. They might then expend £1,700 or £l,BOO in building, leaving £5OO for a sinking fund, and to launch the scheme. Suppose they failed, the shareholders would not be injured ; for the pro perty would certainly be saleable at an improved value, and the shareholders would get their money back. They must combine the commercial with the charitable in a movement of this kind, for un til they saw that the thing would pay they would never convince the smaller holders of property, and induce them to improve their cottage property, which was what they . wanted to do. The subject was one of the utmost social importance. In a work of Dr. Southwood Smith's, he read that the annual mortality in London was twenty-three in every 1,000 of persons living, while in the model lodging houses of London the deaths were only 8 in the 1,000 ; showing that there might be an actual sav ing of many thousands of lives a year by the im provement of the dwellings of the poor, and the consequent removal of the preventible causes of disease and death. He had taken a great interest in this matter, and he did not despair of persuading the people of Hertfordshire to adopt the plan now suggested, and which had been successfully carried out in other places. He believed there were more tramps passed through Hatfield than through any other town in the county ; and, if they could build a model lodging-house there, he believed it would answer well. The London Association had a model lodging-house which paid 17:per cent., and taking all their lodging-houses together, they paid 43 per cent. These were facts encouraging in a commer cial point of view ; and he was sure they would agree that there few other ways in which they could do so large an amount of good by so small an outlay of money. (Hear.) He had much pleasure in seconding the resolution. (Cheers.) The resolution was then put to the vote, and de clared to be unanimously agreed to. The HIGH SHERIFF ✓ (M. H. C 4 osselin, Esq.), moved the next resolution !—" That those gentlemen who subscribe their names to the memorandum of association for 10 shares and upwards be appointed directors of the company, with power to add to their number." Mr. W. R. BAKER seconded the resolution, which was agreed to. The proceedings then terminated. ATKINSON, THE DARLEY MURDERER.—WiIIiaM Atkinson was tried at the last York assizes for the murder of Elizabeth Scaife, at Darley, and acquitted on the ground of insanity. He has since remained at the Castle, and has lately been very violent, attacking indiscriminately the governor, officers, and prisoners who ha pp ened to be near him. Within th e last week he inflicted some severe injuries upon a man who is confined along with him. They had had some words, when Atkinson stru ck the other prisoner most unmercifully, and inflicted some bruises upon him. There is no'doubt the affpir wouldhave ended,much more seriously if one of the prison officials had not interfered and separated the parties. In all probability these passionate outbreaks will cause Atkinson's removal to another place of security. T ICI D ED IT lON SUN OFFICE, Seven o' _DESPATCH FROM INDIA: INDIA OFFICE, TUNE 27. The Secretary of State for India in Council has received the following papers GENERAL ORDER? Fort William, March,29. His Excellency the Governor-General in Council has much satisfaction in publishing the accompanying letter 'from the Right Honourable the Commander-in-Chief, in which Lord Clyde warmly recommends the Medi cal and Commissariat Departments to the notice of the Government of India. The Governor-General in Council desires to express to the Director-General, Dr. Forsyth; to the Inspector-General of her Majesty's Hospitals, Dr. Linton, C. 8., ; to Colonel Ramsay, late Commissary-General; and to Lieutenant- Colonel Thomson, C. 8., the present Commissary-General of the Bengal Army; and to all the officers of the Medical and Commissariat Departments, who have been employed in the field, or who have elsewhere furthered the service by their exertions iu providing for the welfare and the wants of the troops ; the cordial acknowledgments of the Govern ment of India for the important services they have ren dered. The Commander-in-Chief in India to the Governor- General. Lucknow, February 21, My Lord,—The military operations in the Presidency of Bengal which ensued on the great mutiny of 1857, having happily been now brought to a close, I have the greatest satisfaction in recommending warmly to your Excellency's protection two great departments of the military adminis tration to which the troops, and the officers who have com manded them in their long campaigns, are under real and great obligations. I allude to the Medical and Commis sariat Departments. The former, being composed of officers belonging to the two services, has shone equally in the matters of general organisation and of regimental arrangements. The Direc tor-General, Dr. Forsyth, and the Inspector-General o f her Majesty's forces, Dr. Linton., C. 8., in Calcutta, have worked successfully to meet the great requirements made on them ; and the staff and regimental medical officers have well maintained the credit of their noble profession and the reputation for self-sacrifice whieh belongs to the surgeons of her Majesty's armies, a reputation whi c h i s ma i n t a i ne d in the field on all occasions, as well as in the most trying circumstances of the hospital. It has been remarked throughout the army that, from the time of the slender forces taking the field against Delhi, and from Allahabad, in the summer of 1857, the system of the Indian Commissariat has been found equal to the tasks imposed on it, in spite of the extraordinary circumstances in which it" was suddenly placed, and of the actual loss of the resources, viz., the great contractors and 'agents, with which it had been the custom-to work. For this system the army is in great measure indebted to the late Commissary-General Colonel Ramsay, and his successor, Colonel Thomson. The latter officer, being in personal charge, supplied the field force of Delhi under unexampled circumstances, when Sir A. Wilson stood before that city almost cut off from the rest of India. The Commissary-General has been nobly supported by his subordinates ; and I do but speak the truth when I affirm that no department has ever possessed a more efficient' staff of officers than those forming the establishment of the Bengal Commissariat.—l have, &c. CLYDE, General, Commander-in-Chief, East Indies. LONDON GAZETTE-( THIS EVENING) BOARD OF GREEN CLOTH, BUCKINGHAM PALACE, JUNE 23.

The inspectors of the affairs of Messrs. Calvert having issued a proposal for the reconstruction of the brewery- on the joint- stock principle, .with limited liability, accompanied: by a Rein:recom mending the unsecured creditors to take over the balance of assets, after paying secured creditors, and accept stock at par, in the proposed company, or debentures payable in 1867, at the rate 'of £75 for every £lOO of present claim, bearing interest at 5 per cent. per annum, payable half-yearly, in satisfaction of their claims, a meeting was held yesterday at the London Tavern, in pursuance of the following resolution, unanimously agreed to at a meeting of the deposit creditors on the 11th of May, 1858, to take into consideration such pro posal :—" That this meeting strongly recommends that the proposed three inspectors do allow Mr. Smalley, the chairman of this meeting, to act on the part of the depositors, and to be allowed to in spect the books of the firm that now exist and which may be in future used ; and that the three inspectors be requested to supply Mr. Smalley wi th every information that he may require on the Part of the depositors, an d t h at M r. Sma ll e y do report to a future meetin g o f the depositors, to be con vened when a n d f or suc h purpos es as he may see fit." --- len g th , enter i ng Mr. SMAL LEY a dd resse d the meeting at oonsider ableto prove the s oundness of the scheme. He stated into a variety of statistics that the brewery produ ced a p rofit of £45,000 dur ing the last year, and there was no reason to sup pose that, in the event of the formation of a compan y, its profits would diminish, so that by creditors getting their money, whilst adopting the step -- suggeste d . there would be a fair chance if such a course were not adopted very considerable loss would ensue in the altered circutances arising out of the deficiency on the sal e-of the of the private estates. It was believed that debentures to the extent of about £lOO,OOO would be taken; but oven if they extended to £200,000, there would still remain a considerable dividend from the profits of the brewery after paying the interest on the deben tures, while the debentures being available in the market could be immediately realised. Not a shilling would be required to be invested beyond the amount of the debt, nor would any shareholder be liable to the holders of debentures. Mr. FUNNELL moved a resolution to the effect, " That this meeting having considered the circular of the inspectors of the 14th inst., distributed among the creditors, and also the circular of Mr. Smalley of the 13th inst., convening the present meeting, and having heard the explanation given by Mr. Smalley of the altered position of the affairs of Messrs. Calvert and Co., which works to the detriment of the joint estate, are of opinion that it is highly desirable, and in the interest of the credi tors generally, to avoid the fearful consequences of ymwa will e i t e o n dea. the winding-up the estate by a sale of the property, t o that the adopt the suggestion made by the inspecto rs i n their circular of the 1 4 th inst., and. that this meet ing!n inspectors, e r c e t s o o r l s v , e w t i o t h referthe l request e suggestion st your without delay to carry out the suggestion made by the letter of the 14th inst. , and to report to a further meeting of the credito rs ." The motion was seconded by Mr . v °INLET', and, after a lengthened discussion, Was carried, there not being more than about half a dozen dissentients. A resolution was then passed, authorising the issue of circulars, and requesting the un secured creditors to return them signed within a month, expressing their approval or otherwise of the scheme. Another resolution was also Passed , re questing Mr. Smalley to continuo his supervision of the affairs of the estate, and the proceedings then terminated. . . THE GREAT DRAUCIIIT MATCll.—Three additional games of this Match were played on Saturday, and like the great majority of the others were drawn. . Thirteen games only now remain to be played, and from the cautious man her , in which Martin handles his'inen; it 'is very doubtful whether Wyllie will be able to regain the advantage he has lost.
