Capes, the provisional liquidator appointed by the Court of Chancery to wind up the Merchants Company, proved that he examined the books and papers, and all the documents relating to the company, but he was unable to get possession of those relating to the firm of Lane, Hankey, and Co., although he made application for permiseion to do so, and instructed his solicitors to do the same. The defendants were all upon the list of contribu tories to the Merchants' Company. The company was wor.nd up upon the petitions of Mr. Henry Moore and Mr. John Somerville, two of the shareholders, and a creditor of the company. There were 7,229 shares allotted to the public. The number of shares applied for by the public was 9,034, but only 7,229 shares were allotted upon these appli cations. The secretary of the compan, Mr. John Lang ton Butch - !r, applied for '2OO shares, and only 100 were al!otted to him. Mr. Horace Chapman, one of the defendants, applied for 500 shares, and he was allotted 450. Colonel Daubeney applied for 250 shares, and that number was eventually allotted to him. Mr. G. Lewis objected to this evidence, and contended that it really had nothing whatever to do with the case and did not in the slightest degree show any criminality on their part. Mr. Humphreys said that Colonel Daubeney was a relative of one of the defendants, and his object was to show that the shares had been fraudulently dealt with, and bad been transferred when a call became necessary. The Lord Mayor said, if it was proved that when the company was in danger the shares were transferred from a solvent person to some one else who was unable to pay the calls, he conside r e d the evidence was admis sible. Mr. Capes then stated tha t, in May, 1866, Colonel Daubeney transferred the whole of his shares to Mr. Helbert, one of the defendants. A call bad been made in the previous month of December, but the call had not been paid. Mr. Humphreys observed that, according to the articles of association, shares could not be tra nsferred upon which calls were in arrear. Mr. Capes was then examined as to the money that had teen received: from Mr. Lane in compromise of calls, and stated that he had received £6OO in cash and a promissory note for £9OO, which was now overdue, but had not been paid. Mr. Lane, it appeared from the papers of the Mer chant's Company, on the 28th of Feb. received £129 16s. as director's fees, and on tre sth of April the sum of £lO6 The examination of this witness on this point occupied the Court until its rising, Building, Lond.

The accounts exhibit a considerable progress in the com pany's business and position, the deposits, loans, &c., being £2,491,551, against £763,097 at the same time last year. The claims against the Lon don, Chatham, and Dover, and the South-Eastern of Portugal Railways are alluded to. As respects the former, it is stated that an answer was filed by the Chatham Company on the 7th instant, but that it is not of a nature to change the opinion which the directors of the General Credit Company have always expressed as to the justice of their claim. Nothing practical has yet been concluded 'with reference to the claim which the South-Eastern Railway of Portugal has on the Portuguese Govern ment. 81 21d 1I 124 4 8,1 81 9/ 4 8d 11 1d 44 si f 11 3 11 11 7 5 1 2 43 53 19 191 191 144 154 19. .71 .. 4 1 4 iii 3d jp REMARKS.

Pressure, though pretty uniform, is still highest in the south-east; and the reading at Cape Gris Nez is o'32in. above that at Greencastle. Temperature has increased over England and France ; but in Scotland there has been a fall of 10 deg., and readirtts there are rather low. Easterly winds still continue on the west coast of France. In these islands light south-westerly breezes are general, except in Scotland, where there is hardly any wind. Rain has fallen is the N. and W., and has been heavy at Roche's Point. The sky is generally overcast In England and Ireland, and clear in the N. of Scotland.

Mr. Walker, the great jeweller of Cornhill, has never received his property, watches, jewellery, which were handed over to the authorities of the City of London, at the time of the trial of the men who so impudently robbed him. The watches were recovered from the felon, but have since been held by the authorities. Mr. Walker has obtained a rule from the Queen's Bench calling upon the Lord Mayor, aldermen, dc., to show cause why they should not restore the property. The traffic return of the Great Western of Ca- Wilkinson h 55 nada shows an increase of £3,589. SMITE MELD HAY MARKET. No change has yet taken place in the hop trade. English hops of fine quality are getting scarce, and such bring former rates ; other descriptions are ne glected.

It Lad been rumoured that he would receive assistance to the extent of £2,000 from the Carlton Club, but the absolute sum contributed by that body will be arrived at by dividing £2,00p by two.

The burglars forced open the front door of the empty house with a crowbar, went upstairs, and effected an entrance next door by the front windows, from one balcony to another, on the first floor, and escaped before an alarm could be given.

The Inclipendance Beige gives a sequel to the mysteries of Bond-street—that delightful domestic drama which was wound up in a manner so appropriate by Mr. Commissioner Kerr. The heroine of Bond-street had a cousin, whom we shall call J. B. This aristocratic personage officiated for some time as bill-poster to Drury-lane Theatre, and afterwards as clerk in a great brewery. He then chanced to make some brilliant speculations in stocks, and thus acquired a con siderable fortune, to which were added the important " presents " which he received from his celebrated relative —the lady who took for her motto " Beau tiful for ever." This personage—J. B. we mean—became acquainted with a ballet-girl of the third rank at Drury-lane. The lady willingly consented t o a little pantomime in real life, and the tv.-o did a little polite travelling together, visiting all the watering-places of Bel gium, and finally settling at Spa, where they dwelt in one of the most elegant chalets of the place. The two emi grants lived high : kept horses and carriage, were out all day to return home only in the even ing, and after dinner promenading in the public saloons—never venturing into the ball-room. On one occasion, indeed, they attempted to gain admission, but either they were known or the out ward and visible signs of their social position were too marked to escape notice : a‘linis6ioo was refused. The clay after they left Spa, J. B. received news, at the moment of departure, of his gaining a prize of over £IO,CCO in a foreign lottery. From Spa the pair went to Paris, where they installed themselves in a small hotel in the Avenue of Eylau. Here they made the acquaintance of an actress—by no means in the bloom of her youth or reputation—and this new friend, who called herself the Countess A— de V—, persuaded the fugi tives to hire a more expensive dwelling. All this time J. B. never thought of returning to England ; in fact, he was " wanted " there. Speculating was all very well, and even running off with ballet girls without pre liminary ceremonial is not within the reach of the law; but the police were anxious to know where J. B. ob tained the money which furnished capital for his speculations. At this point J. B. conceived the fatal idea of getting married; and for that purpose he sought and obtained the papers which are necessary for a marriage in France, but his companion seemed strangely backward in obtaining hers. The " union" was, how ever, effected at last in the Church of the Trinity ; but, when too late, the French police learned that it was illegal. Madame Rachel's promising cousin had been married once already. One disclosure followed another. The police learned the whereabouts of their man. He learned the intentions of the police, and took flight immediately, not deeming him. self safe at any distance less than the space between France and the East Indies. It appears that the pair had been received in good company both in Germany and Paris. The story has rather a tragic ending. The not very strong intellect of the ballet girl succumbed to her grief at being abandoned, and she became a lunatic. She also had been married before. THE STOCK EXCHANGE --- -4, Bulls and bears, dealers and jobbers, have in a social sense all improved marvellously during the last quarter of a century. There is as much difference between the stockbroker of to-day and the stockbroker of the essayist and funny writer as between the walking gentleman of the stage and the gentleman of real life who walks. Nor is there anything wonderful in this. The influences of the time have merely exercised the same influences in Capel-court as elsewhere, and the ameliorations experienced by other callings have softened down or obliterated the exaggerations and extravagances .to which, if our social satirists are to be believed, the stockbroker was especially prone. Mr. Wilkins Flasher is no more. Our typical visitor has probably come into the land of scrip and shares with some lively anticipations as to the treatment he will receive. Paraphrasing the speech of the ancient maiden in the captured city, he asks "when the bonneting is to begin," with real tremor in his voice ; and is barely reassured by the statement that the Stock Exchange has been caluminated, and that a polite request that they will withdraw is the roughest treatment accorded to the unaccredited. Practical joking is fast disappearing, even the excellent humour of surreptitiously tipping off a fellow member's lint, and watching the effect from a distance, appears to have lost its time-honoured attraction. The comparatively recent story of the foreigner who had strayed inadvertently into the charmed circle, and whose friend wrote to a contemporary complaining of the violence he experienced, was an exaggeration. His apprehensions of bodily violence being quieted, the visitor may pluck up his spirit and look about him. He is on the ground from which prices go forth to influence the world, and his first lucid itninession is that it is overcrowded. The beadles in uniform, stationed at raised parts of the building, and overlooking the mass of members, are the only men who have elbow-room. Their function seems to be to call out the names of men who are wanted, and to be thus the media of communication between the affiliated and the outside world. 'I Ex change itself is a lofty chamber, with desks and tables dotted about it, and with cold white walls. Here are the dealers in every kind of stock known to the world, all busy, all talking, all ready to bid, or buy, or sell. Some few are seated, but the majority are on their legs, chatting in little coteries, and casting curious eyes upon the only stranger present. Once or twice the ominous words "fourteen hundred" go from mouth t 3 mouth, as it seems in jest, but suggesting infinite possibilities when you hear that it is a mystic signal telling of your advent. But you are clothed in an invisible coat, or are strong in the reputation of your guide, and so wend your way innocuously through the throng. A genteel betting-ring in which the bookmakers don't murder the Queen's English ; or a play-ground where the big boys have the best of it, but where there's some little indecision as to what game to begin next ; or a church in which the form of worship is perambulatory—all come to mind as you are conducted through. The great place is more sedate than Tat tersall's, but not nearly so handsomely fitted up. The tesselated pavement, the club-room settees, the ornatly decorated walls of the headquarters of the turf, are none of them to be seen at the headquarters of share dealing, and if it were not for the knowledge that you are in a place from which the world generally is excluded, you might find it a trifle, just a trifle, dull. The prices of stocks are being shouted out, and bar gains are struck with methodic regularity. Th e greater part of the business going on represents, we are assured, the purchases and sales of the public, and it is strange to think of the fortunes affected and the lives altered by transactions taking place between these four walls. Our visit is made on one of the fortnightly settling-days, the first, or " Ticket-day "asit is called, on which occasions tickets bearing thereon the names of the persons who take up and pay for the shares or stocks they have bought during " the account" are required to be passed within a certain limit of time to the brokers of the persons who transfer the securities. This system has been in force for many years, and it is said that under no other method could the vast business of the public be transacted. As the afternoon progresses the bustle and stir augment. The tables at one end of the room are filled with clerks, who pore over their pocket account books, shout out the name of the dealer or firm they want, or cast nervous glances up at the clock. The reason of this is explained when a rattle is sprung by a distant beadle, and the hum subsides. This shews it to be three o'clock, and that a critical period has passed, and it is amusing to contrast the expressions of satisfaction and disgust on the faces of the clerks who have either escaped 3r incurred the risk of " selling-out " for their employers.— Daily News. °ATI:TEM:AL or SYDNEY.—The Metropolitical Cathedral of Sydney was consecrated on St. Andrew's day, November 30. It is a very large and handsome structure, lighted with gas. Six Australian bishops were present at the ceremony. THE THIMBLE.—The name of this little instru ment is eaid to have been derived from " thumbell," being at first thumble, and afterwards thimble. It is of Dutch invertion, and was brought to England about the year 1.605, by John Lofting, who commenced its manufacture at Islington. A curious custom prevails in Lincoln's inn. When any member of that learned body is made a serjeant-at law, on taking the coif he has to present the Queen and the Lord Chancellor with rings bearing the legend "Aliud nohis agendum." At the same time he is presented by the treasurer with a purse containing ten guineas, as a retain ing fee in case the socie t y should require his services on any future occasion. The advanced Liberals of Halifax have fortrel an association for advocating the I allot, the placing of all reli gious bodies on an equality, the adoption of a comprehen sive national sysit in of national edreation, and the repeal of the law of primogeniture. At Otley, sz association for promoting the Liberal interest in that portion of the Eastern Division of the Biding, and for securing a more liberal county franchise, has also been established. At the Royal Music Hall, Glasgow, while Madame Leopold, a female acrobat, was going a night or two since through some daring evolution on the trapeze, she somehow missed her hold, and fell heavily on the stage from a height of about lb feet. She was taken up unconscious, but some two or three hours later, medical assistance haling been ob tained in the interim, she was reportad to have considerably recovered from the effects of the shock.
