The tide had turned and the effects of good manage_ ment were already perceptible, but the capital re leased at Bombay would be useful in other Presi dencies, and the Bombay business could be resumed hereafter if found desirable. The third subject re lated to the capital, and it would be seen that the call had been limited toss., and that until the money. • market would enable the directors to issue the fur ther capital authorised they could and would con tinue their operations with the capital subscribed. The company was established in the interest of the railways, under the conviction of the value of this application of the recognised principle of the division of labour. It had done much good already and would be found invaluable when the railway companies' arrangements were in perfect order and carrying powers fully utilised. lie thought allowances - Might be made for the companies and the railway mana gers, who had great difficulties to contend with, nut when more time had been allowed to get everything into order and to increase the rolling stock on the railways there was no doubt that both railway and carrying companies would find their best interests in mutual and friendly co-operation.

Mr. Alderman BE SLEY thought the inquiry had properly been referred to the Law and Parliamen tary Committee, when the commissioner had sought at their hands an increase of his salary, and the Common Council naturally inquired from him how he discharged his duties. Mr. Alderman COPELAND considered that he had done his duty by bringing the subject before this Court, and he should certainly bring the motion before the Judges when they met on the 2d No vember to fix the sessions for the ensuing year. The conversation then dropped. THE CORONER'S SALARY. The report of the General Quarter Sessions re commending that the salary of Mr. Sergeant Payne, as coroner for London and Southwark, be increased from £750 to £BB5 per annum from the Ist January last, was brought up, and on the motion of Mr. Alderman Wilson was confirmed and adopted.

Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches. At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, aro given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, and orphans are, for want accommodation, refused admittance, and h ave to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is propsed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving? The smallest donation will be most welcome, and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will be offered in your behalf.

TIMES.—On Monday evening Mr. Gladstone pro nounced a few words, which, no doubt, he will amplify hereafter into a grand oration, but which language can surpass in importance and In four lines o f our report he an nsiognfiefiactsanc of e. an nounced that he would have to propose to-morrow the withdrawal of the four Reform Bills which have occupied the entire heart of a critical Session, cost an untold amount of official labour, wrecked a strong Government, stranded a popular party, and deprived some forty gentlemen cf their important and lucra tive positions at the head of this great Empire. Had Lord Russell made an auto da fe of all the obsolete and useless ships in the Royal Navy the act would hardly be more costly than the application of the match to these Bills. Indeed, it is scarcely possible to exaggerate the sacrifice and its mortifying cir cumstances. For any parallel we have to imagine immense ingenuity and labour lavished upon some calculations be a im aginary upon a Ptolemaic or some project impossible,dis iarYgin aaaif Sir Isaac Newton had eb wastedo a y si e s r efdo life'sa u t n o d t e o e b hypo thesis. The Reform Bill was the chief personage in this annual 44 custom,” but it was well attended. There are tribes where is not enough to bury a chief, but wives, concubines, slaves, horses, dogs, and weapons of war are all thrown in after him. The new Government has decided opinions upon Bank ruptcy Reform, and will see whether it cannot make a better bill than that before the House of Com mons, which accordingly will be allowed to retire with all the honours of War as soon as it has re ceived the last touches from the hand of its author. The Irish Landlord and Tenant Bill met a more summary fate, and with only the slightest possible hint of what might be done in a future Session. In both cases It must be said that the new functionaries buried the work of their predecessors with all possible respect. After the discovery that the Imperial Par liament can have nothing to say to colonial bishops except of a most negative character, the bill for defining their position must wait for further light, which a new Government will acquire, if possible, before next Session. Then followed an obscure crowd—small reforms that requiredthe kindest hand and the most favourable circumstances, infant mea sures, baby bills. They are dropped and crushed in the crowd. The hours are now counted, and what time is there for the improvement of legal forms and procedures, in the smallest and simple't matter, or in any matter at all? Something remains to be done, and it is to be hoped the two sides of Parlia ment will agree to pass the measures about which there may happen to be no division of opinion. There is no more room for mutual jealousy. There will be no iiarvest Home to celebrate the huge crop of useful life-supporting measures safely reaped and gathered into the great barn. No orator will declaim his hour upon the achievements of the Session, and no antagonist enumerate its casual ties and its defeats. All its interest is absorbed in one struggle and one catastrophe. As the year 1832 is memorable for the Reform Bill that did at length pass, the year 1866 will be not less memorable for the bill that did not pass and the Government that did not survive that defeat. The retrospect of a Session, as of a life, cannot be so agree able as the anticipation. People never begin to look back till they have little to look forward to. Before us we see an enterprise, an excursion, a march, a voyage of discovery, a crusade, something, with its chances, which we count in our own favour. In the past we read a story that can not be written again. But this is great reason why we should dwell a little more on th sad, veritable, unchangeable lesson of the past, and not plunge at once into the false lights of a future. At this moment the history of the last session is worth much more than the possibilities of the next. We have sacri ficed this session with no other result thin to ascer tain, what really might have been known without this sacrifice, when and how Parliamentary Reform is not to be attempted. A prodigious and costly operation of war has only ascertained that the enemy is in overwhelming force, that it is impossible to steal a march on him or surprise him, that the ground is all in his favour, and that our movement has given him quite as much information as it has procured for us, at vast cost to ourselves, and no cost at all, but only gain, to him. This is the moral of the session, and it ought well to be considered before we plan the next campaign. If they had to live their lives over again, people say, they would avoid this or that error. They are seldom so foolish as to say what they would do instead, but they will be wiser than to repeat the fatal follies that haVe taken away so much from the value and the happi ness of a life. All this is only reasonable ; a new session is a new life, and the expiring session need not pledge itself by anticipation to repeat the mis takes of the last. POST.-At length Prussia has condescended to explain, in the columns of the official Staats-An zeiger, to what aim her policy is directed. She has not demanded, and does not require, the cession of Bohemia and Moravia. The acquisition of those provinces of the Austrian empire would, she thinks, be undesirable—not, however, as regards the inte rests of Europe, but with reference to her own con venience, which is, of course, a matter of far more importance. Connection with countries " only in part appertaining to German nationality" would, it is apprehended, place . obstacles in her way. Prussia wishes to establish a new Germanic Confederation, and to convoke a German Parliament--the former, we presume, to include all the States that appertain wholly to German nationality, and the latter to re gulate the destinies of the Fatherland, which has been emancipated and consolidated by the sword of Prussia. This is candid as well as considerate. No one may now affect not to know what Prussia wants. Her proclamations to the Bohemians and Moravians, and her relations with Kossuth and Klapka, are simply what the Americans called " war measures." She entertains no paternal inten tions in respect to those " oppressed nationalities," nor any permanent interest in those " illustrious exiles." It comports with her ideas to speak softly and to act liberally. Fair words and a moderate disbursement of thaler notes—that is all Prussia is doing. She has modulated her voice to the key of nationality, and she can afford to sweeten the bread of exile ; indeed, her generosity savours of thriftiness, for she is utilising the Magyars whom the fortune of war has thrown on her hands. But as to the rest, Prussia's territorial ambition extends not beyond the union of Germany, and her political purpose is Parliamentary Government. Stich is the substance of the official programme, and it will be immediately observed that in scope and in expres sion it is peculiarly Prussian. The idiosyncrasy of Bismarck is conspicuous ; the aggressiveness of the Great Frederick is decently draped in the fashion of the present day. It is impossible not to admire the skill of the artist ; the millinery of the policy is all but perfect. In fact, one must look very closely into it, and hold it up in the light of history, to de tect the imposition. Prussia is acting her part with consummate ability, and, as is almost always the case, her success commands applause and procures obeisance. Only the other day there were none who cared to pay her homage ; she could 'not even get what was due to her ; and men went out of their way to pick up stones wherewith to pelt her. But now the name that was a byword has become a rallying cry. Prussia has plated her wrongdoing with military prestige, and it passes among a crowd of sycophants. Court of Aldermen. Yesterday a Court of Aldermen was held in their council chamber, at Guildhall, for the despatch of business, the Lord Mayor presiding. The Sheriffs presented their reports of the state of the City prisons, from which it appeared that in Newgate there were 68; in Whitecross-street, 94 ; and in the House of Correction, Holloway, 376 pri soners. The City Chamberlain and the Bridge Master were sworn into office for another year, on their re election on the 24th ult. The precept for the election of Lord Mayor for the year ensuing, and for the other business on Michaelmas-day, was ordered to be issued. The Sheriffs elect (Mr. Alderman Waterlow and F. Lycett, Esq.) were called upon to enter into the usual bonds for the due performance of their office, when Alderman Waterlow presented himself, and duly executed the instrument ; the absence of Mr. Sheriff-elect Lycett being explained to be unavoid kble, in a letter addressed by him to the Town Clerk. CHAPLAIN TO THE DEBTORS' PRISON. • Mr. Alderman WILSON reminded the Court that the temporary appointment of the Rev. Thomas Pugh, curate of St. Sepulchre's, to the chaplaincy of the Debtors' Prison would expire before its next meeting, and he would, therefore, move that the rev. gentleman, who had discharged his duties in the most satisfactory and exemplary manner, be reap pointed fora further term of six months. Mr. Alderman SIDNEY remarked that it was a disgrace to the Corporation that so small a remune ration was paid to the rev. gentleman. He urged that an increase should be made now at the time of hi s reappointment. Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE, M.P., said the in crease of stipend could not 'be made without due notice. Mr. Alderman and Sheriff GIBBONS reminded the Court that six months ago the matter of the chap laincy had been referred to the Gaol Committee, who made the temporary appointment of the Rev. Mr. Pugh, and no doubt the committee would pro vide for his reappointment within the next ten or twelve days ; and he thought the matter had best be left in the hands of the Gaol Committee, as, if this Court should interfere in the meantime, it might lead to some difficulty. This suggestion was adopted, and Mr. Alderman Wilson withdrew his motion. THE COMMON COUNCIL AND MR. COMMISSIONER KERR. Mr. Alderman COPELAND said he wished to draw the attention of the Court to a proceeding of the Common Council with respect to the Commissioner of the Sheriffs' Court, who was also one of the judges attending at the Central Criminal Court, as into his conduct in his judicial capacity the Common Council had referred an inquiry to one of its com mittees. He should very much wish to know from the learned Recorder (if he had been present) whether the Common Council had any power thus to interfere with the provisions of the Act of Par liaMent under which the Central Criminal Court had been constituted. If any complaint was to be entertained against any of the judges of the Central Criminal Court, it ought to be inquired into by the whole body of the Commissioners of the Court, comprising the Lord Chancellor, the judges of the Admiralty Court, and other distinguished and ex perienced law authorities, who were constituted judges of the Central Criminal Court under the act introduced by Lord Broughem when Lord Chan cellor. ; celler. He (Mr. Alderman Copeland) contended that neither the Common Council nor t this of Court this could institute an inquiry into a kind. He should, therefore , re move L ar to commu nicate matter r ution to this effect, and request the Lordl\ it to the Common Council at its next meet ing, urging that the inquiry should not be proceeded with. Mr. Alderman GABRIEL said he believed the in- The report of the directors states that, after pro viding for current expenses and preferential charges, the balance available for dividend on the ordinary stock is £3,934. Out of this amount the directors recommend at the rate of £3 Bs. per cent. per an num, leaving a balance of £47 to be carried forward. The amount expended on capital account to June 30 was £286,224. RAILWAY BILLS. In Lord Redesdale's committee, House of Lords, yesterday, the following bills were passed :—The Buckley and Wrexham, Mold, and Connah's Quay ; the Wrexham, Mold, and Connah's Quay (addi tional powers) ; the Carmarthen and Cardigan ; and the Caledonian (Edinburgh station). The Elham Valley Bill was adjourned. In Room A the Swansea and Clydach Bill was thrown out. The opposition in the case of the Brecon and Llandovery Bill was withdrawn. In Room C the following were heard and ad journed :—The North British (Wishaw branches), the Bowness and Grangemouth, and the North British (Tay bridge). In Room 1, House of Commons, the Wye Valley Bill was passed. The Barry (extensions), the Pembroke and Tenby, and the Northampton and Banbury Junction Bills were heard and adjourned. In Room 2, the Midland (Ashby and Nuneaton), the Halesowen and Bromsgrove, and the Vale of Neath (transfer) Bills were heard and adjourned. In Room 3, the Caledonian and Scottish North- Eastern ; and the Caledonian (Lanarkshire branches) Bills were heard and adjourned. ENGLISH AND FOREIGN CREDIT. A general meeting of this company was held yes terday, at the Baltic, Threadneedle-street ; Mr. G. Sheward in the chair. The report congratulated the shareholders on the satisfactory condition of the company. The balance of profit and loss on Dec. 31 last was £10,568, out of which, in accordance with the resolution of the meeting of Feb. 6, the sum of £5,163 was absorbed by a dividend of 10 per cent. per annum, £4,000 was carried to the reserve fund, and £1,405 to new profit and loss account. The result of the operations of the half-year ending on the 30th ult. was a balance to the credit of profit and loss of £8,379, which it was proposed to appropriate as follows :—£5,163 in payment of a dividend of 10 per cent. per annum ; £3,000 to be transferred to the reserve fund, which would then amount to £12,000; and £216 to new profit and loss. The sum of £355 was carried for ward to new interest account, being rebate on cur rent transactions. The balance-sheet showed that the capital wa5£101,465, and the cash at bankers£l2,sBl. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said he wished to give them the fullest infor mation in his power, and when they considered 'the whole financial difficulties of the past half-year they would see that the pledge given by the directors at the last meeting had so far been carried out care fully. They had no bills to pay, and no liabilities. They carried over £3,000 to reserve, and he believed that every security they held was fully and honestly worth what they had taken it for, with the excep tion of one, which would not be available to realise so soon as expected ; but having made the advance they could wait till it was worth principal and inte rest. He told the shareholders at the last meeting that the directors had no necessity to make a call. They had no intention to make a call now, nor would they do so until they were enabled to reduce the liability of the shareholders. The business of the companywas not so large as it might have been; high rates of interest generally entail high risks. They had been very cautious in conducting the business of the company, and if the worse were to come to the worst they could not lose more than the amount of thtir reserve fund. They had placed the reserve in Consols, but a circumstance occurred which rendered it necessary to place it in another security owing to the high rate of interest recently prevailing, but as soon as possible the reserve fund would again be invested in Consols. The sums due on current account had, since the ac counts were made up last month, been reduced to less than one-third. A question had been asked as to whether the directors had sold any of their shares since the last meeting. He could say that none of them had sold shares, but some had increased the number of their shares in the undertaking. He then explained that the directors had it in contemplation to reduce the nominal amount of the shares on a plan similar to that intended to be carried out by the Credit Foncier and Mobilier of England; but nothing would be done in that respect without the assent of the shareholders. Mr. F. MOWATT said it would be more desirable for credit with the public not to reduce the nominal amount of the shares; but if they did, he thought the liability could not be reduced to less than £2O a share. The present capital was too small, and the expenses would not be more for managing a capital of £500,000. He would rather see the present capi tal increased, and the number of directors reduced from eight to five. It was very satisfactory to be told that their capital was intact. A long discussion ensued, in the course of Which l it was propsed to reduce the nominal 1 amount of with t of the shares from £5O, with £7 10s. paid, of £7 10s. paid ; also to appointsca committee in quiry, but the motion was no The report was unan ii"usi adopted , and a divi dendt y seconded. The at the rate of 10 per cen t. per annum was de dared, payable on t h e 18th inst. Th e proceedings concluded with a vote of th an k s to the chairman and directors. INDIAN CARRYING (LIMITED). The half yearly general meeting of this company was held yesterday at the office, Great 'Winchester street—Sir M. Stephenson in the chair. Mr. W. THomrsoN, the secretary, having read the notice convening the meeting, the report, an abstract of which has appeared in The Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the re port, said the first subject in it referred to the in terim dividend which would be considered, satisfac tory, as the directors did not recommend a dividend until they had satisfied themselves that it had been fairly earned in the half-year's working. The second point referred to the relinquishment for the present In reply to questions, it was stated that the total gross receipts . for the year ending June 30, 1865, • amounted to £178,388, and for the half-year ending Dec. 31, 1865, to £97,281, being at the rate of £194,562 per annum. The increase was mainly in Madras, and to some extent in Bombay. The sum of £75,000 had already been paid on capital ac count, and £12,500 had just been called, which would make £87,500 ; another call of ss. per share would increase the amount to £lOO,OOO. The di rectors had authority to raise a further sum, in fresh capital, of £50,000 when the money market would permit, which would make £150,000 in all. After a few observations from Mr. MERRILEES, Mr. PHILPOTT, and Mr. BUTLER, the report was unanimously adopted, and a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum (froe of income-tax) for the half-year ending the 31st of December, 1865, was declared payable on and after the 2d of August. Mr. J. WALKER explained that the additional capital would enable the company to double the pre sent business, and a vote of thanks to the cha4rm.au and directors concluded the proceedings.
