It appears from the facts adduced that on the morning in question, about 4 o'clock, the mail train from Derby was going to Nottingham, and w heti it arrived at the Midland goods station o f that town the engine driver perceived that the gates on the Victoria-road (which is the principal thoroughfare into the town) were shut. He immediately put on full steam and dashed through them, while he and the fireman threw themselves down between the engine and tender, and thus escaped the flying missiles from the gates. The cause of the accident is explained in the following manner :—On the gate there are two signal lights, one facing towards Derby, and the other towards the Nottingham passenger station. The light facing Derby had gone out, and, although the engine -driver signalled three times before reaching the gate, the two men on duty, John Coultman and William Cort, failed to hear them ; the consequence was that the gates vfere . completely s mas h e d . The train shortly afterwards arrived at the Nottingham station none of the passengers having felt the least shock. It is suspected that the ga temen were asleep at the t ime the accident occurred, and an inquiry is to be made into the Matter. THE BRITISH AND A MER ICAN LIFEBOAT So- C irrits.-1 few months ago the National Lifeboat Insti tution presented, th rou gh Mr. R. 8..

LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY), COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor.) APPEAL JUDGMENT.-BOWSER V. M4I.V.A.N. This is an appeal from a decision of Vice-Chancellor Stuart dismissing the plaintiff's bill on demurrer. The plaintiff filed his bill for an injunction to restrain the de fendant from carrying his tramway into the plaintiff's mine, and using his tramway for the carriage of coal from his mine through the plaintiff's mine, and for loss sustained thereby. Tho Lord Chancellor, in delivering judgment, said -1" am of opinion that, in this case, the demurrer ought to have been over-ruled. The objection to the bill which was allowed in the Court below was that the plaintiff had not got a title to the estate which belonged to the vendor, and alleged that he only obtained possession of the subsoil—the ground over which the tramway was used by the defendant; but the bill alleges that the plaintiff is trustee, and the property is described as copyhold or free hold under this estate, and the soil is given to the purchaser from year to year. Prima facie the soil under the surface belongs to the plaintiff, and the possession of the coal except the surface remains in the plaintiff. This is a copyhold property, and the minerals that belong to the lord of the manor have been let to the defendant, and for the working of his mines he makes a tramway through the subsoil to carry along the coal from his mines, but the defendant has no right to use the tramway for any other purpose. The bill avers that he drives carriages loaded with coals beyond the manorial bounds let to him. He bas a right to go within the manor, but there is nothing to justify the defendant to go beyond it. The Lord Chancellor reversed the decision of the 'rice- Chancellor with costs. His lordship overruled the de murrer to the plaintiff's bill. ROLLS COURT. (Before Sir John Romilly.) JIMGMENT.-HOLMES V. WOODWARD. The plaintiff filed his bill for a declaration that, accord ing to a true construction of the will of the late Francis Holmes, the sum of £16,000 legacy, in the events which happened, formed part of the residue of the testator's pro perty. His Honour the Master of the Rolls, in delivering judg ment, said—This is a will, certainly, of very difficult con struction; but after attending to it carefully, and consider ing events which have happened, and the contents of the will, I am incliied to adopt the construction that has been suggested to me by Mr. Lloyd (Q.C.), which makes it per fectly rational, without introducing or displacing any words at all. It is certain, from the mode in which it was originally drawn, that it is a remarkably ill-drawn will; but according to his Honour's reading of the testa tors's will, which gave £16,000 as a legacy to his niece and her husband for life, and to their children after their de cease (an event which has happened), it gave a right in the children to the legacy, although they had not attained the age of 21 years. His Honour dismissed the plaintiff's bill, with costs. SECONDARIES' COURT. (Before Mr. Potter and a Jury.) WRIT or INQUIRY-DAMAGES £II2—BABA - Eli v. CLOUGH AND OTHERS. This was a writ of inquiry to assess damages, laid at £2OO, sustained in consequence of the non-employment by the defendants of the plaintiff. Defendants had suffered judgment to go by default. Mr. Jones, for the plaintiff, said his client was a master mariner, residing at South Shields, and defendants were shipowners, of the same place. Defendants had engaged plaintiff as captain of their ship, the Isabella, to go from the Tyne to Sardinia, thence to Constantinople, on the 11th July last. Plaintiff was to have £lO per month. A day or two before the ship sailed a conversation took place on board, and plaintiff was summarily dismissed. The primary loss would be a sum of £9O, the voyage taking nine months. In addition to this the plaintiff had been unable to obtain any other employment, and up to this time had been without a ship in consequence of its becoming known that he had been summarily dismissed from the Isabella. Plantiff was called and deposed that a day or two before the sailing of the ship the owners came en board and went into the cabin. Plaintiff went down, and one of the owners asked him if he had not been pending a law suit with his late owners. Witness said he had ; and that questions of wages, freight, and stores, were involved. The owner observed that he had been 20 years a captain and had never had a law suit with any of his owners, and that he could not have a man captain of his vessel who had a law suit with his owners. Plaintiff was then dismissed, and left the ship. Had been unable to get a ship since. Cross-examined by Mr. Digby Seymour, for defendant —Plaintiff admitted that complaints had been made, and described the nature of his case with his late owners. The average voyage was eight or nine months. Plaintiff had been offered £5 by defendants, but had returned the money to defendants. Mr. Seymour then addressed the jury for the defendants, and called William Clough, who was a shipowner of Shields, and had 32 years' experience. The voyage from Shields, including a port to land coals, to Constantinople, was four months. He had a ♦essel which had made seven voyages in four years. Fifty days is an average Voyage from Constantinople to Shields. Mr. Seymour then said plaintiff had netted a great deal too much, and had made the voyages much longer than they should be. Mr. Jones having replied, the learned Secondary summed up, and the jury gave plaintiff £ll2 damages. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAL) MARLBOROUGH STREET. STEALING DIAMOND BROOCHES.—Louisa Stevens, housekeeper, at chambers 4, Beak-street, was charged before Mr. Beadon with stealing two diamond cross brooches, of the value of £36, the property of Mr. Henry Charman, jeweller, of 4, Beak-street, Regent-street. Mr. Herring appeared for the prisoner. From the evidence of Mr. Prosser, assistant to Mr. Charman, jeweller, of 4, Beak-street, it appeared that he received two diamond star brooches from a customer of his employer, and last saw them safe in his coat pocket on the 20th Oct., his coat being then hung up in his apartments at 4, Beak-street, of which the prisoner and her husband had the charge, but that on going to his pocket on the Mon day morning following he missed them. He spoke to the prisoner in the presence of a constable, but she denied all knowledge of them. He afterwards told her that he had traced them to the possession of her sister, and that she had employed a person to pledge them. She said her sister could not say so, as it was not true. At that time one only was traced, but he afterwards succeeded in tracing the other, and on again speaking to the prisoner she said she had picked them up in the street. He then gave the pri soner into custody. Mr. Prosser having been cross-examined by Mr. Herring Bentley, 55 C, said ho found one of the brooches pledged at Mr. Bassett's Great Queen-street, Drury-lane. He asked the prisoner if she knew anything of the brooches, and she denied all knowledge of them, but subsequently said she picked them up at the corner of Regent-street. Charles Stephens, assistant to Mr. Basset, pawnbroker, of 32, Great Queen-street, proved receiving in pledge one of the brooches, and lending a 10s. on it. He received it of a female, but did not think he could identify her. The person gave the name of Frail. [Witness was ordered to look round the court, but could net identify the person.] Elisabeth Crouch, of 4, Oxford-place, proved pledging the brooch for Mrs. Frail, who, she believed, was the pri soner's sister. The sister was very ill. Remanded for a week. THAMES. STEALING A DOC—Henry Watson, a middle-aged man, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a dog, the property of Mr. William Mackness, a baker, of Sidney -place, Cotnmercial-road. The prosecutor said that he had a dog in his possession, and he lost it about five months ago. The value of it was £5. The breed was between a mastiff and a staghound. Ho had seen the dog following a horse and cart along the Commercial-road several times. He saw the prisoner in the cart, wbo whistled the dog away and laughed at witness. Last night he took a policeman with him to No. 9, Prince's-street, Prince's-square, gave the prisoner into custody, and re covered the dog. In answer to questions by Mr. Yardley, the witness said that about five weeks age the prisoner waited upon him and said he had got the dog, and demanded £2 for its keep, which he refused to comply with. The prisoner then said he would hang up the dog. The prisoner, in defence, said the dog in question was given to him by a man named Romford, in Back-church lane, Whitechapel, on the 27th of July, at half-past ten o'clock at night, and that he had repeatedly exposed the dog at Mr. Wright's pie shop in the Commercial-road and other places, and had never made any secret of his possess ing it. - - - - - Mr. Yardley thought the charge of stealing the dog could not be sustained, but he could not help saying the prisoner was greatly to blame in not restoring the dog to Mr. Meekness directly he knew it telonged to him. Ile dis charged the prisoner, and ordered the dog to be given up to the prosecutor. ' The prisoner—Am I not to be paid for the keep of the dog. Yardley—Certainly not. You have had the society of the dog, that is sufficient compensation. The T,risoner—The collar and chain is mine. Mr. Yardley—Let the prisoner have the collar and chain.

HUD_DERSFIE, REPORT OF THE DEPUT A.TION TO PARIS, A special meeting of the Huddersfield Chamber of Commerce was held on Monda v—Mr. T. Malin son, president, in the chair—to receive the report of Mr. Charles Weiss, who represented the Cham ber before the Commission appointed to arrange the details of the Commercial Treaty. The follow- ing is an abstract of the report :-- " It is at present generally accepted as a fact, that the duties to be imposed by the new French tariff on all union and woollen goods of English origir., will be 15 per cent. ad valorem until 1864, and after:: that date, 10 per cent. At a meeting of the United Councils of the Huddersfield, Leeds, and Batley Chambers of Commerce, resolutions were passed recommending a 12± per cent, ad - valorem duty as the only arrangement which would give British goods a chance of admission into France. These resolutions were communicated to Mr. Cobden; and it fell to my duty to explain verbally to him the reasons which guided us in the adoption of these resolutions." The report goes on to say that a Mr. Cobden, who had thoroughly mastered the subject, informed Mr. Weiss that ho would lay the matter before the council in a very palpable form ; adding, that he believed the French Commissioners would see the justice of the claim for ad valorem duty. From that moment Mr. Weiss never doubted that this point would be carried, whatever the per- centage of the duty might be. After referring to the steps taken by the united deputations to se eure unanimity among themselves, the report proceeds to state that the deputations came to a resolution to try and ob • fain a duty of not more than 10 per cent. ad valorem ; but when the counter proposals of the French Government were made known to them a difference of opinion arose, and Mr. Weiss found it better to operate on his own understanding of the case. He adhered throughout the negotiations which followed to his first representations, trying to strengthen his case by new illustrations, and encouraged by Mr. Cob den, who, from the first, recognised his claims to be reason able and just. The different classifications proposed by the French Government had been abandoned one after another ; and on the day before Mr. Weiss's departure from Paris, he was given to understand that the ad valorem principle had won the day. The last French proposal was-10 per cent. ad valorem for all woollen goods ; 15 per cent ad valorem for union fabrics. This proposal was accepted by the Leeds and Scotch deputations ; but Mr. Weiss thought it his duty to protest strongly against it, for these reasons : Having had many opportunities of seeing French woollen goods, and of comparing the same with our Eng lish fabrics, and the process thereof, Mr. "Weiss had c .n -vinced himself that the woollen industry of France, more especially in the better class of textiles, is in no way behind ours as far as cheapness is concerned; and as for quality and finish, as well as taste, French manufacturers are, to say the least, on a par with the English. The trade in all woollen goods with France will therefore be a 'baited one as long as any duty is charged on the importation of Eng lish fabrics, and fow our staple woollen goods will command a large sale even without any duty at all. Goods that are not made in France, new styles and designs, and at times some plain goods, will probably form the chief proportion of our exports in all woollen goods to France; but the lower union fabrics, made of cotton weft and wool or mohair weft or mixed wool and cotton articles, are not yet made in large quantities in France ; and where they are made, they do not equal those manufactured in Yorkshire. It is in these useful and cheap goods, suitable for the million, where a large trade may be expected. After referring to the differ ences of opinion between Mr. Weiss and the other deputa tions on these points, the report proceeds to say :—Fortu nately the final settlement of the duty on the part of England was left to a firm and just negotiator, who had heard patiently all that the different interests had to say for themselves, and who had honestly tried, and most for tunately su.:ceeded, in striking a good bargain for his country. It was true that they had not succeeded in get ting the duties on union goods reduced below 15 per cent. ; but the fact that in 1864 these goods will be ad mitted at 10 per cent. was ample compensation, and gave them the guarantee of a large future trade with France. All the different deputations who had been over to France looked upon the treaty as the first step of Louis Napoleon's anti-Protectionist policy. Already a move ment was set on foot to bring the new tariff into force at an earlier period than what is stipulated for the treaty, and should the French Government decide to make any altera tion in the original stipulation of the treaty, the publica tion of the new tariff might possibly be delayed. A strik ing feature of this treaty was, that those whose interest it most deeply concerned had been consulted beforehand as to what they thought of it. He believed it was the first treaty of commerce between two great nations where the advice of the public had been sought, and where the details had nearly been based on the information obtained by such public consultation. As to Mr. Cobden's labour, it was be yond all praise; and when the nation came to a full under standing of this treaty, the great apostle of free trade would be acknowledged a second time as the benefactor of his country. _ _ The report was adopted, and, at the close of the meeting, cordial totes of thanks were accorded to Mr. Cobden and Mr. Welbe T.H.18 DAY'S SIiIP.EING.

COMMERCB. r LETTER OF DOIV RUGGIE RO SETTI.IIO TO COUNT CAVOUR. The Opinion of Turin in announcing that King Victor Emmanuel has conferred the Collar of the Order of the Annunciada on Don Ruggiero Settimo, publishes the following letter from the noble vete ran to Count Cavour " Malta, Nov. 3. " Excellency—ln these moments of supreme im portance, both to Italy and humanity, you have been so kind as to remember me, and invite me, in the name of the Kin g's governmen t to return to my nat i ve coun try. I cannot find words sufficient to express my gra titude for so flattering a remembrance of me. A s a citi zen of Italy, I feel for the King and his Government, the devotion of one who sees her redeemed by their efforts. As to an Italian born in Sicily, I o we you still greater gratitude for your just estimation of the feelings of nationality whiehlhas inspired my fellow-citizens; for you have justly recognised, in the policy followed by the Provisional Government of Sicily in 184 S, a tendency towards Italian na tionality under the dynasty of Savoy, although manifested under the f o r m w hi c h the political con ditions of that period required. Personally, I feel myself too much honoured by the esteem you express for me in regard to my political life. Having wit nessed, and acted a part in the struggle which, since the end of the last century, has been going on in order to free the human race from despotism, I have long been convinced that the liberty and prosperity of a State depends upon its complete independence, a wise constitution, and internal order. All these things Italy can only obtain under that King who has unflinchingly upheld the banner of independence and liberty. All the various countries of Italy have understood this, and hence thei r no bl e i mpa ti ence to sacrifice municipalism on the altar of the country. Sicily would not be the last, and her enthusiastic vote for annexation proves it. Under the regular and wise Government of the King she will find that repose she so much wants. Alth oug h I f ee l t h at I can g i ve but little aid in this work, still I acknowledge it to be the duty of eve r y h onest c i t i zen devoted to Italy to contribute theret o as f ar as i s i n his power. Hence, and in compliance with the honourable invi tation with which you have honoured me, I shall feel it my duty to return to Sicily as soon as the illness,which has latterly tried me more severely than usual, shall render it possible. I also wish to return, in order to see my country again and my fellow-citizens, to whom I feel grateful for their tender affection towards me. Should this wish of mine be denied me—should I be destined to end my long life in the hospitable land of my exile, I shall feel secure as to the future of Italy and Sicily under an honest King and so wise a Government. Be assured of my devotion to the King, and my r.espeet ful esteem of your Excellency, while I remain, with sentiments of the highest consideration, " RUGGIERO SETTIMO." THE NEW PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. The following account of Mr. Abraham Lincoln, ust elected President of the United States, is given n a letter from New York : " He was born in the county of Hardem, in Ken tucky, the 12th Teb., 1809. His grandfather, who emigrated from Virginia into that State in 1781, was killed by the Indians whilst he was engaged in clearing his lands. His son, who like himself, was very poor, also died prematurely, and left a widow and some children, one of them being Abraham, then aged six years. The widow with her chil dren, after a while, took up her residence in the south of Indiana, and there Abraham in course of time reached man's estate. In stature he is almost, gigantic, being Oft sin. His mother was able to give him but little education ; in fact, he passed only six or eight months at school. He was in succession a farm labourer, a woodcutter, and a boatman on the Wabash and the Mississippi. In 1830 he went to the State of Illinois, and earned his living for a year by working as a labourer in the fields ; then he got a place as a shopman, and afterwards enlisted as a volunteer in a company which was raised at New Salem to take part in the war in Florida against the Indian tribes, headed by the chief called the Black Hawk. He served with credit, and was promoted to the grade of captain. On his return to Illinois, he took up his residence near Springfield, the capital, and has ever since resided there. In 1852 he was a candidate for a seat in the Legislature of the State, but failed. The year after, however, he was elected, and he sat during four sessions. During this time he studied law, and, having become an advocato, practised with great success at the bar of Springfield. In politics, to which, whilst following his profession, he paid great attention, he joined the Whig party, and was a warm supporter of Henry Clay. In 1846 he was elected to Congress, and confirmed to belong t o it till 1)449 . H e was a strong Abolitionist, and repeatedly expressed his sentiments on the subject of slavery. In the stormy debates which took place on the Wilmot proviso he bore an active part, and voted not fewer than 42 times for that measure He opposed the war with Mexico as unconstitutional. From 1849 to 1854 he kept aloof from the political arena, devoting himself exclusively to the exercise of his profession. In 1854 he was the candidate of the Whigs for the digrity of Senator for his State, but was defeated. In 1856 his name was at the head of the list of the electors of Illinois, who voted for Fremont, in opposition to Buchanan. In 1858 he was unanimously designated by the Republican Convention of the State to succeed Mr. Douglas as Senator, and a warm contest took place be tween him and that gentleman. Both visited every part of the State to harangue the popula tions ; Mr. Lincoln boldly declaring for the abo lition of slavery, and Mr. Douglas standing by what is called squatter sovereignty. Fortune was then adverse to Mr. Lincoln, his opponent having been elected." THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Although only a limited quantity of English wheat was on offer in to-day's market, the demand for all kinds ruled heavy at Monday's decline in the quotations. The general condition of the samples was inferior. Nearly 27,000 quarters of foreign wheat having come fresh to hand, the trade was depressed, and to have forced sales, is to 2s per quarter less money must have been sub mitted to. In floating cargoes very little was doing on rather lower terms. We have here to report a dull sale for all kinds of barley M barely stationary prices. There was a fair inquiry for both old and now malt on Former terms. _ The oat trade was inactive ; nevertheless, prices were supported. Beaus commanded full quotations, but peas were rather cheaper. Flour was very dill, and its value had a drooping ten dency. AARIYALS THIB Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oath.

A St. Petersburg letter says :—" The average number of persons exiled to Siberia yearly is about 9,500, exclusive of the women and children that accompany them. To get to the station of Tobolsk they have to travel from 927 to 4,500 versta (the verste is 1,066 metres), according to the district they start from. From Tobolsk to Tunsen is a journey of 85 days, to Krasnojork 115 days, and to made by the criminals Irkutsk 177 days. Most of the e xiles go through Irkutsk to Merchinsk.

BRIGHTON, Tuesday.---Last night a very large and influential meeting was held at the Town-hall, on the subject of Garibaldi and Italy, the chit f ohject of the meeting being to raise a local subscription in aid of the Central Garibaldi Fund, and to form a committee for that purpose. On the platform ware W. Coningbam, Esq., M.P. (in the chair), J. White, Esq., M.P., E. H. J. Craufurd, Esq., M.P. for Ayr, Messrs. Perfitt, Alderman Burrows, C. Stone, Sig nor Martinucci, the Rev. R. Ainslie, &c. James Stansfield, Esq., M.P., and W. H. Ashurst, Esq. I (treasurer of the Garibaldi Fund), were expected, but letters apologising for their unavoidable absence were reael by the chairman. The meeting evinced the greatest enthusiasm throughout. The CHAIRMAN said—We have met here to-night in order to evince our admiration and esteem for General Garibaldi and his brave companions in arms, who have so nobly endeavoured to satisfy that which Byron has eloquently defined as the "unquenchable longing of the Italians after im mortality—the immortality of independence." By the heroism of a handful of brave men—the immor tal thousand—the independence —nay, almost the unity—of Italy has been established ; and we may there teheld the ancient queen of the world en throned on the capitol, crowned' with honour by kindred nations of freemen redeemed, and ty another Joseph, from worse than an. Egyptian e, but thi s ti me bondage. (Cheers.) Rome s h a ll go forth to conquer, not as of old to ensl av to liberate an expectant world, bea r i ng free dom, independence, and peace in her venerable hands. At her approaching advent she comes to fulfil the law by vindicating the rights of men and of nations. In her Pantheon, now defiled by gro velling superstitions, she may enshrine the memo ries of her great men and benefactors—her ancient and now again her real divinities—the triumvir of her last republic, and the Sicilian dictator who, like the Corinthian of old, has dethroned another Dionysius—a tyrant of a race to which, by their own confession, "liberty was ever fatal." But if Italy shall thus do honour to the living heroes, let her not forget the devoted band of martyrs, who, like the Bandiera Brothers, have taught the Italians, by their glorious example, how to die for their country. Time and impartial history alone can render justice to the generous allies who at Ma genta and Solferino bled for the common cause, and together triumphed in many a fiercely contested fight on the smiling plains of Lombardy over the Austrian, who before another summer is doomed to expulsion from the Italian Peninsula. (Cheers.) The attitude recently assumed by our Government distinctly lays down the broad principle of non intervention, and recognises the fact th a t th e peop l e of all nation s are the ony legitimate source of power, and alone competent to choose the form under 'which they will submit to be ruled. These principles apply alike to Hungarians as to Italians ; and let her Majesty's Government beware how in future they venture to interpose in defence of the "just rights" of Austria. The hon, gentleman resumed his seat amidst loud applause. Dr. PERFITT gave a resum e of the progress of Garibaldi from his earliest infancy in a lengthy and eloquent speech, charaeterising his heroism as equal, it' not superior, to that manifested in Greece and Rome in the ages of the past. Mr. CRAUFURD, M.P. (chairman of the Garibaldi Fund Society), spoke of the departure from our shores of that noble band who had gone to fight for Italian freedom, and gave an interesting account of the mode and the history of the raising of that legion. They obtained upwards of 1,000 volunteers, but unfortunately, in consequence of delays and other causes, not more than 750 were shipped for Italy, although they had provided arms and. accoutrements for £l,OOO. The expedition cost £15,000 or £16,000, which was about £l5 per man, whereas the Crimean expedition cost our Govern ment something like £lOO per man, so that they had not been extravagant of their funds. They had but £1,500 in hand towards the £13,000 or £14,000 which they required. The Rev. R.AINSLIE briefly addressed the meet ing, as also did Mr. Alderman BURROWS. — A committee was then formed for the purpose of raising a local subscription in aid of the Central Garibaldi Fund, the chairman heading the subscrip tion list with £5. A penny subscription has been set on foot in Brighton, and cheerfully responded to by the poorer classes. LONDON DISCOUNT COMPANY. A meeting of the London Discount Company was held yesterday, in pursuance of a requisition recommending a dissolution of the concern, Mr. W. Bevan presiding Tho chairman stated that, in con sequence of an implied understanding that the di rectors would consider the propriety of winding up —a strict examination had been made, and the conclusion arrived at by the majority was that the business had not been sufficiently satisfactory to warrant going on. The results of the four years' working since the commencement, in Dec., 1856, showed that the net profits, irrespective of losses, were £60,000, or about 9 per cent. per annum. The bad debts however in the same period were £47,000. The actual dividends paid have amounted to £18,200, and as no division of profits can be ex pected next year, the result of five years' working at the:end of Dec., 1861, would show a distribu tion at the rate of only 11 per cent. per annum. It might be said that experience had been gained, which should lead to an improvement for the future but the present Board mere unanimously against any further trial. The bad debts had increased cor. . currently vs ith the profits. Mr. Scholefield, M.P., the late chairman, differed from these conclusions, but would offer no opposition to a liquidation, that, in fact, being inevitable now that the directors had condemned their own business. With regard to his having sent in his resignation together with that of three other directors, he explained that, as he could not concur in winding up, he was not prepared to put such a resolution, and had, therefore, quitted the Board. He al so • pointed out that in addition to the profits mentioned must be reckoned the rather large sum appropriated to preliminary expenses. In the discussion that ensued it was urged on the one side that the company is at present in a position as good, if not better, than that in which it stood at the date of the last meeting, when entire confidence was expressed in the management, and that the bad debts in the past four years—only £4'1,000, of which £22,000 was from failures in the leather trade—were small considering the peculiar events of the period, and compared with the bills dis counted, amounting to 33 millions. The general feeling, however, was that the realisations wet quite inadequate to the risk, and it was pointedalso out that the new rule of the Bank not to rediscountind of has added considerably to the perils thisof h a business, since in periods of panic,.suc to recur at intervals, each establishment resources. A thrown exclusively on its own w re as s s are w sure u b r e e eventually reso lution to wind up voluntarily of three-fourths. car ried by the required majorityn of the company for a ll l l m r. o S st ch t o h l e efi l e v l h d o , le as pe c r h i a o i period of its duration, and some of the general manager the efficiency and other shareholders, acknowledged in high terms they may be entitled to salary to each of the officers, and staff, and the zeal , meeting voted unanimously a addition to a and Mr. their respective ye n a y r s sum agreements.
