Its business will consist chiefly in making advances to the pastoral tenants of the Crown lands and others, and by taking security on their stations, stock, freehold land, and wool, in accordance with the 3Tortgage and Lien Acts of the Colonial Legislatures; in acting as agents for the sale of Wool and other produce in Australia, or for its shipment to England ; in effecting the sale of stations and stock ; and in conducting a Financial and General Agency business. The Company, therefore. will advance capital only when fully secured, and do not intend to enter into any transac ti ins involving a risk on their own account. Operations will be commenced by taking over the business of Messrs. J. EL Clough and Co., of Melbourne, which has been established upwards of ten years, and which shows an average profit per annum for the last six years as ol lows : From June, 1858, to June, 1861, six years. Commissions Trade expenses Profit. Average Profit earned. paid. per annum. £232,674 13 6 .£32,943 18 8..£199,730 14 10 or £33,238 9 1 Th se profits have been realised principally by commissions On advances and sales of wool, stock, and stations. The extensive connexion with the producers thus acquired Will form the basis of the Company's operations ; the returns of the business show, as above, an average profit during the last six years of upwards of thirty thousand pounds per annum, and the facilities for the extension of the business, to be afforded by the introduction of augmented capi• al and credit, will enable the Company to realise proportionately increased profits. The purchase of the goodwill of the business has been effected on very advantageous terms, the amount to be paid being less than two years' profits, the whole of which will be received by the Vendors in Shares, subject to proportionate reduction should a net profit of £30,000 per annum on a three years' average not be realised, as stated in the terms of pur chase, copy of which, and also of the Articles of Association, can be seen at the Offices of the Solicitors. One-half of the amount of the above purchase money will be pa'd to the Vendors by six thousand shares (with £5 per Share paid up), out of the present issue, and the remaining half in debentures of the Company, to be converted into Shares ot the next issue, such debentures or converted Shares to be held by the Board for the purpose of guaranteeing a dividend of to per cent. por annum for three years ; and the Vendors have also agreed to place their services at the dis- Dosal of the Company for the same period to co-operate with the Manager, who wilt be appointed by and act under the direction of the Board in London. The premises in which the business is at present carried on have been purchased by the Company, subject to a valua tion ; tney are situated in the principal street in the city of elbourne, in immediate proximity to the terminus of the Government Victorian Railways ; and for proportions, style, and convenience, surpass any buildings for similar purposes in the Australian colonies. They were erected at a cost of about £30,003 by the present proprietors, and were especially designed for the wool trade, with stowage room for from 15,00 to 20,000 bales, having hydraulic presses, lifts, and all other necessary appliances. The business thus secured, and connexion obtained, will enable ihe company at once to assume a pos tion, and obtain results which would otherwise take years to effect. _ _ It is proposed to take powers to borrow mon , l , on bonds or debentures : the difference between the English rate of borrowing and the high Colonial rates for lending on mort gage s ill form an additional source of revenue to the Corn- Dany ; and powers are also propos d to be taken to increase, if required, the capital of the Company. The prospects of the Company are identified with the pro gress of the Australian Colonies, which, without doubt, pre sent the most valuable field for the investment of British capital now known. The pr , gressive lucre ise in the quan tity of wool exported from Victoria alone is seen in the fol lowing statement, viz : Pounds. 1861-2 it amounted to 1862-3 '0 136,836 1863-4 And that large securities exist on which the capital of the Company can be profitably empl )yed is shown by the fact that, al , hougit the value of the live stock property of the squatters of Victoria alone, estimated from Government re turns in 1862, was £10,000,000 sterling, yet th , registered amount advanced to them on such securities in the same year was under £2,000,000. Under the Articles of A saociation, the qualification for each Director is fixed at £4,0:0 at least, to be held by him in his own right in the Shares of the Company. The success of the Vendors, their confi 'nee in the prospects of the Company, evidenced by their w llingness to accept the purchase money of the goodwill of the business in Shares, and by giving the material guarantee above-named, and the wide scope for profitable employment of capital, justify the Directors in recommending this undertaking as an invest ment of the most satisfactory kind, especially as the liability, risk, delay, • nd competition, which the establishment of a new business involves will be avoided, and the operations will be increased by a Company, the capital and credit of which wil' form a guarantee for all additional business en trusted to it. In the formation of this Company no promotion fees will be paid. Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares may be had at the Bankers, Brokers, Solicitors, or at the Officers of the Company. Applications for Shares must be accompanied by a deposit of per Share tln the event of no allotment the money will be returned in full ; if a less number is allotted than is applied for, the surplus amount paid on application will be applied towards the payment of the £1 due on allotment, and the balance, if any, returned.

The epidemic has not declined during the week. On the 17th the cases rose to 33 attacks and 20 deaths, and on the 19th to 35 attacks and 22 deaths. On the following day they fell to 13 attacks and 18 deaths, but, on the next day, they rose again to 21 attacks and 18 deaths. The increase is chiefly owing to fresh outbreaks at Vittoriosa and Teitun. The former is one of the towns on the shores of the filthy dockyard creek, and the latter is suffering much from want of work. The average number of cases in Valetta has been, for some time past, about three daily. To-day there were only two attacks, and the accounts from such parts of the country as have been received are more satisfactory. On the 13th and 18th the island was visited by storms of thunder and rain, but the hopes of an amelioration in its sanitary condition to be derived thereby have not been gratified. The coolweather has not yet set in, and it is feared the epidemic will not leave us until that period. The total number of deaths among the troops, in cluding women and children, up to the 14th inst., I was 115, out of about 150 to 160 attacks. Since then several cases have occurred, especially in the 84th Regiment, which for a long time escaped the disease entirely. Yesterday five cases manifested themselves in this regiment, and one in the Royal Artillery. 'The following are the returns of cholera cases in the civil population since the 11th inst., the date of my last communication : Attacks. Deaths. !Attacks. Deaths.

It has disappeared from Alex andria, although it still lingers in Upper Egypt, on account of which clean bills of health have not yet been issued. The rise of the Nile above the ave rage height has gladdened all hearts, and promises a splendid cotton crop. From Smyrna, Constantinople, Odessa, and other ports, reassuring news is received. At Smyrna, ac cording to a letter of the 13th instant, confi dence was being restored, the epidemic having ceased for some days. A great deal of misery, however, required to be relieved. At Constanti nople, where the disease had assumed the most gigantic proportions, it is at present limited to a few cases daily. From Odessa we learn that clean bills of health are now issued from that port. Corfu, as indeed all Greece, I believe, continues free from cholera, but fevers were very prevalent. A steamer, lately arrived at Corfu from Brindisi, reported a case of cholera there. The Malta Relief Fund, for the assistance of per sons suffering from the present visitation of cholera, has lately received the munificent donation of £lOO from Messrs. Burns and Maclver, of Liverpool, in addition to a personal donation, on the part of Mr. Maclver, of £5O. We are informed on most unquestionable autho rity that a decided and undoubted case of Asiatic cholera, with a fatal result, has occurred in South ampton. The victim was a man named Rose, about 30 years of age, residing in Brewhouse-court, Brew house-lane, who died on Sunday, about 36 hours from his first attack, the symptoms at every stage being those of the most virulent form of this dread ful disease. The unfortunate man himself dated his illness having been engaged a few days previously in cleaning out a very offensive cesspool. Another case, that of a woman living in a different part of the town, is also reported as presenting similar t , symptoms. Although these cases, should they both prove to be Asiatic cholera, may not presage an im mediate prevalence of the epidemic, they are suffi ciently alarming to call for vigilant and energetic measures, without an hour's delay, on the part of the local authorities, and, if necessary, the Govern ment itself. 'With a full consideration of the fact that the town of Southampton is in direct commu nication, by means of the mail steamers, with the Mediterranean, and only four days from Gibraltar, where the cholera now prevails, and at which port these steamers call, every possible sanitary precau tion should be at once taken to guard the health, not only of the inhabitants of Southampton, but the country at large.

In further addition to his pension he will be paid one-half the money allowance he was receiving from the Hospital on the Gth of April last, whether it be the weekly money paid to him of either three, four, or five shillings, according to his classification, or the two shillings' allowance to married men, or his weekly wages for acting in any capacity which is paid out of the Hospital funds. In making the foregoing allowances the Lords of the Admiralty have desired, as far as their powers enable them, to make up an allowance of £36 10s_ a year, which is equal to 14s. a week. The fore go i ng pen sions and money allowance will not, however, in the case of every pensioner make up that sum, and in such cases the Lords of the Admiralty have allowed the deficient amount ' to be made up, if possible, out of the other half of the money allowance. The proper fare for the conveyance home of the pensioners has also been allowed. They are also entitled to take their chest of clothes with them, and to be read mitted at any time hereafter on becoming infirm anti helpless. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 27, 1865.

DISSOLUTION OF THE MANSION-HOUSE COMMITTEE: A meeting of the sub-committee of - the Sanatorium Com mittee of the Corporation of London was held yesterday afternoon, at 3 o'clock, at the Mansion-house, for the pur pose of covsiciering what steps should be taken in reference to the subject for which the committee had been appointed. Among those present were—Mr. Oibbins (chairman), Dr. Sarvis, Dr. Vinen, Mr. Burge, M.D., Mr. Brewster, Mr. Maynard, Mr. Guenier, Mr. Game, &c. Mr. Guns, the secretary, read a list of subscriptions, in which it appeared that only a very small sum had been subscribed since the last meethag. The total amount sub scribed was about .£1,500. Mr. GlumNs, the chairman, briefly called the attention of the committee to the present position of affairs. They had the permission of the Government for the establishment of one sanatorium, and a sub-committee had been appointed to visit two sites that had been offered for that purpose. That sub-conimittee consisted of himself, Dr. Vinen, and Dr. Sarvis, and they were unanimously of opinion that both sites were utterly unfit for the intended purpose. They had advertised for sites or buildings to be used as a sanatorium, but no answers had been received, and, as they had heard, the public did not appear at all to respond to their call for subscriptions. Under these circumstances, it was for the committee to consider what course should now be adopted. (Hear. hear.) Mr. BREWSTER said it appeared to him that although they had no x been meeting for a considerable time they were not a bit farther advanced towards the' object they had in view than they were at first. and that they had been completely baffled by the Government, or those who pro fessionally advised it in reference to this subject. (Hear, hear.) Besides that they not obtained any assistance from the public or the trees that were interested in the ceived such large sums for question. The brewers, their grains, had not subscribed a farthing, and the results Mrs they appeared to have arrived at were, that instead of hav ing as they:proposed several large sanatoriums with proper conveniences and accommodation for the treatment of the diseased e im theywere only to be permitted to hav e o ne all ri that would accommodate 10 or 12 ca ttl e, which would be quite lnadequate for the intended object, s msan e a a t t o tl In fact, they were merely to carry out the ideas of other people, instead of their own—(hear, hear)—and it appeared to him that they would not be acting fairly or justly to the Corporation, or to the citizens of London, if they continued to go on any longer under these circumstances. (Hear.) The Corporation had at once consented to give a noble sum in aid of the important public object that was sought to be attained, in the expectation, no doubt, that their example would be followed not only by those trades that were spe cially interested, but also by the public at large, but in this expectation they had been entirely disappointed. He still entertained the opinion that the cattle plague was curable, and that very important results would have followed if the principle of having sanatoriums had been fairly carried out ; but it was ridiculous to suppose that any good result could have been obtained by only having space for the treatment of a small number—like 10 or 12 cattle—and the experiment would not have had anything like a fair chance of success. Every attempt had been made to baffle the com mittee in their proceedings, and he could not refrain from expressing his opinion that Professor Simonds had done a great deal of mischief by having the ear of the Govern ment. (Hear, hear.) In the first instance he had de clared that the disease was not the rinderpest when it first made its appearance. and had allowed diseased cattle to be sent to market, and had thus been the means of spreading the plague in all directions. He now also said that the same malady had attacked the sheep, although almost every me dical man and every veterinary surgeon declared that they did not believe this to be possible. (Hear, hear.) This being the present state of things, it appeared to him that it would be useless to proceed any farther, and that the best course would be to return the money that had been subscribed, and leave the responsibility upon the Government, who had so pertinaciucsly opposed their proceedings. (Hear, hear.) He proposed a resolution to that effect. Dr. SARVIS seconded the resolution, and in doing so he said that the committee had worked hard, and bad done all they could to carry out the object for which they were ap pointed, and L was not from want of will that they had not succeeded, but from the obstacles that were thrown in their way in higher quarters. (Hear.) He agreed with Mr. Brewster that the establishment of a small sanatorium such as the one suggested by the Government, and to which alone it would give its sanction, was not likely to be attended with any good effect. He believed if their original plan had been carried out it would have been successful. At present he looked with son.) t du:. probable ,-,anaoc i a.nn es of the present state of things, as ho believed that before long meat would be at a famine price, and ho need hardly add that the labouring poor would necessarily be terrible suf ferers. (Hear, hear.) Mr. GIBBONS, the chairman, said he quite concurred in the observations that had been made by the previous speakers with, regard to the position of the committee, and although ho deeply regretted it he had almost thought of proposing a resolution of the same character as that which had been proposed by Mr. Brewster. (Hear, hear.) He did not see why the committee should waste their time in carrying out what they believed would be for the benefit of the public, when the Government opposed them at every step, and the public did not seem to take any interest in the matter. (Hear.) As an instance of the difficulties they had to contend with he would inform them that only on the previous day five diseased cows, the property of Lord Gran ville, the President of the Council, were,sent from his sheds to the cattle-market to be slaughtered. Mr. BREWSTER interposed —And without any certificate. Mr. GIBBINS said he was informed that a certificate had been sent with them, but this turned out not to be the case. What he wished to call the attention of the committee to, however, was the fact that those diseased cattle were driven through the public streets to the market, when the Lords of the Privy Council would not permit them to have the privi lege of removing diseased cattle to a sanatorium for the pur pose of an attempt being made to cure them. (Hear.) He did not suppose for a moment that Lord Granville was aware of what had been done, but he thought it his duty to mention the fact publicly. (Hear.) Mr. GAME said he should cordially support the motion. It appeared to him that the Corporation of London had met this calamity as they did every public calamity, in a noble manner, but all their endeavours had been thwarted. He thought the time had arrived when they ought to stop, and throw the responsibility on the Government, and it appeared to him that if they proceeded any further under existing circumstances, they would only bring ridicule and odium upon themselves. (Hear.) Mr. GIBBINS said he thought it right to explain that when they referred to the Government, the observation rather applied to those who advised it in this matter than to the Government itself. He felt bound to say that in all the in terviews he and the committee had lead with the Lords of the:Privy Council they had been listened to with the utmost attention and courtesy, and upon one occasion Lord Granville had acceded to a suggestion of the committee in opposition to the advice of Professor Simonds. Some discussion then ensued as to the terms of the pro posed resolution, and eventually it was opposed in the fol , lowing form : " That the sub - committee do report to the general com mittee that in consequence of unexpected and insuperable difficulties that have been thrown in the way of their car rying out the purpose for which they wore appointed, they recommend that the money that has been received be re turned to the subscribers, after deducting pro rata the amount paid for necessary expenses." This resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. BURGE then proposed, and Dr. SARVIS seconded, a cordial resolution of thanks to Mr. Gibbins for his zealous services as chairman of the committee, which was carried unanimously, and the committee adjourned. which the appeal was made, and concluded by moving its adoption. Mr. JORDAN having seconded the motion, it was unani mously adopted. The other business transacted was chiefly of a detail character, and related to the mode in which the fund should be raised, the chairman stating that the subscription lists had been printed, some of which had been sent out, and others could be distributed through the medium of those who attended the present meeting. Several of the lists which had been sent out had been placed in publichouses, and he had himself that morning seen the landlord of one of the houses in which a list was placed, subscribe a gui nea to it, and a gentleman who happened to be in the house at the time did the same. Ho had no doubt that if proper exertions were used to obtain subscriptions, that they would be forthcoming. Subscription lists were accordingly distributed among those present, to be distributed by them and placed in pub lie-houses and other places where subscriptions could be obtained. The following districts were represented at the meet ing:—Hackney, South Hackney, West Hackney, South Hornsey, Daiston, Highbury, Islington, Huston, Balls Pond, Stoke Newington, and Kingsland. A vote of thanks to the Chairman terminated the pro ceedings. SCIENTIFIC AND ORNAMENTAL PRESENTS.

We regret to state that the cattle disease has broken out among the Royal herds, at the Home-park, Hampton Court. Mr. Digby Seymour on Fenianism. A new flax scutching mill was recently opened at Ballina, in Ireland, under the name of Ballina Mills (Limited.) The event was commemorated by a public procession, followed by an assembly of a truly Irish description at which there was plenty to eat and drink for all comers, and in which three fiddlers were among the more prominent of the celebrities. Mr. DIGBY SEYMOUR, who was present, was called upon for a speech, and in the course of a long ad dress he said—Fellow-countrymen and country women, it is now 20 years since I left the shores of Ireland to fight the battles of life in the sister king dom. I have won some eminence and suffered some defeats, butin every varying scene and chang ing circumstance my heart has fondly turned to wards the country of my birth. (Cheers.) Many. things have often gratified me, and I have occupied positions which have filled me with some natural pride, but never was I so proud of any distinction as of being called upon to address you on this glorious occasion. (Applause.) I shall give you not one, but three. I shall propose three sentiments which em brace the whole solution of what statesmen have called " The Irish difficulty"—sentiments which touch the root of the whole question with which; once popularised in the country, once felt and ac knowledged among the people, poverty and sedition and rancour will flee away as the clouds of mist I saw dispersing this morning from the sunlit summit of Mount Nephin. (Cheers.) Loyalty, properly understood, is not an empty obedience to the letter of the laws. It is a living form, not a lifeless for mula. It is not a pageant, but a passion. It is not satisfied with simple veneration for the throne with out an affectionate deiotion for the person of the monarch. I want to know whether in those far dis tant parts of Western Connaught fear of the power of the British crown is united with love for the per son of Queen Victoria ? (Tremendous cheering.) Are there are any Fenians here ? (Laughter, and a cry, " Two or three.") lam glad to hear it. (Laughter.) Boys, you're welcome. (Roars of laughter.) I wish every Fenian in the country were here ; but I'll tell you a secret. lam not sure, but if I got them in the room below I'd turn the water sluice upon them, and try to cool their enthusiasm. (Great cheers and laughter.) Why, what is a Fe nian? A discontented Irishman in search of a grievance—a tool for American insolence to menace the peace of Europe with—a thong in the lash with which Yankee bunkum threatens to whip creation ! (Cheers and laughter.) Was Grattan a Fenian? No ; he was always loyal to the throne and institu tions of his country. Was Curran a Fenian ? No ; the warmth of his patriotism never consumed the adamant of his loyalty. Was O'Connell a Fenian? (Loud cries of "Hear.") No. (Cheers.) When he spoke from the hill of Tara to ten thousand of his countrymen he never uttered a disloyal thought against the British throne or constitu tion. (Loud cheers.) I don't want to discuss the question of republics ':or monarchies to-night, but what can the utmost craving of a reasonable soul expect from a free government that we do not enjoy in Ireland ? Security for the person ? Would it be greater under a republic than now ? Liberty of the press ? Would it flourish more under a new republic than it does now under an ancient monarchy? Equality of the laws? Is there any sane Irishman who believes that there is one law now for the rich and another for the poor ? Impar tiality in government patronage ? Why, look to your bench of judges in Dublin, and a Monaghan, a Fitzgerald, and a Keogh will answer your in quiry. (Loud cheers.) Fenianism is born too late for its time. The evils that might have excused it are cured; the good that might have animated it has been accomplished. I don't say Ireland has no grievance, but I do say that she has none that re ! quires a" Fenian" rebellion. (Applause.) Don't tell me the people are ready for a rising. There is only one rising for which they are ready—a rising in their wages—(cheers)—a better pay for an honest day's work. (Cheers.) Rising and rebellion, in deed ! Why, I went to your court-house this morn ing and saw some young men on their trial. Was there ever anything more silly than their conduct ? They had been marched four deep on a lonely road at midnight, and though there were fifty of them when three policemen appeared they took to their heels like a set of rabbits scared in a warren. (Laughter and cheers.) A conspirator is generally a coward, and a fool never made a soldier. (Cheers.) I have no fear of these Fenians. I believe the heart of the people is loyal to the core. While this was going on in your court-house, a number of open carts laden with valuable machinery, without a guard, without a policeman, were wending their peaceful way, up hill and through valley, as safely and securely as a royal carriage driving under the sha dows of Windsor Castle. (Loud applause.) Come, then, and join with me in a cheer—a cheer, the sound of which will float along the Burnee river, and re-echo from the slopes of old Nephin ! I give you—The Queen. May her virtue as a woman, and her wisdom as a Sovereign, consecrate her person and her Throne in the loyal affections of her Irish people. (The whole assemblage joined in a loud and hearty cheer, which was repeated with great enthusiasm.) Mr. Seymour proceeded—l have pro posed to you one sentiment ; I now offer to you another. Religious animosity is the hereditary curse of Ireland. (Cheers.) lam commissioned to say that within these walls no man shall ever be asked what is the hue and cry of his politics or his faith. (Great cheers.) Where is the chemist that can analyse for me the difference between a Protestant or a Catholic stalk of flax. (Loud cheers.) Does not the same blue flower adorn all fields? (Cheers.) Shall I ask the brave soldier who fights by my side In the cause of mankind, if our churches agree ? Shall I give up the friend I have valued and tried, If he kneels not before the same altar with me ? (Cheering.) But the poetry of Moore sinks before the divine philosophy of the Christian religion. Did not the blessed Founder of your faith and of mine inculcate by his example and teaching the principle that was first proclaimed at Bethlehem —the prin ciple of " Peace on earth, good will towards men?" (Hear.) Indifference to all religion is one thing, but forbearance between all religions is another. I am a Protestant, the son of a Protestant clergyman, the brother of two, the near relative of many— shall I therefore refuse the hand of fellowship to the Rev. Father Healy who stands by my side, and who has come here to hallow our opening ceremony by his pious benedictions ? (Great applause.) Ire land will hexer be happy till every Irishman ac- MEETING AT MYDDLETON HALL. Last night a meeting of the North Eastern of London Cowkeepers and Dairymens' Association was held at Myd dleton-hall, Upper-street, Islington, for the purpose of tak ing steps in aid of those of their number who had so severely suffered from the plague now so prevalent among cattle. Mr. Koppel was called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in introducing the business of the meet ing, explained the circumstances under which the society had been formed. It had, he said, been called into existence for the purpose of raising a fund for the the relief of the suf ferers by the cattle plague, the ravages of which in that particular district had been very great. Within a very short time stock valued at over £30,000 had been sacrificed, and many hard working persons reduced to the very verge of beggary. Those now re quired immediate :relief, and failing to obtain it from other sources it became necessary for them to take some initiatory steps themselves to obtain it. Under these circumstances several meetings of cowkeepers and dairy men were held, and the result was the formation 'of the association. A working committee of influential gentle men had been appointed, all of whom were deeply inter ested, either as dairymen or cowkeepers, many of whom had been sufferers, though perhaps not to the same extent as many of those on whose behalf the appeal was made. To create a fund it became necessary to take active and energetic steps to relieve those who suffered. An appeal had been accordingly drawn up in their behalf, and within the next few days a copy of it would be sent to every cler gyman and minister of every den om i na ti on i n th e l oca lit y inviting their co-operation and assistance in making a col lection in their church or chapel, or preaching a sermon in behalf of the fund. The London and County Bank, Islington Branch, had undertaken to receive subscriptions and donations, and to open a list at their office. He then read the circular, which detailed the circumstances under PRICE STAMPED sd. knowledges that the foundation of every creed is brotherly love, and that bright as hope is and beautiful as faith, the greatest of these is charity ! (Applause.) I give you the sentiment, " May mutual forbearance in matters of religion inspire all creeds and classes in Ireland !" (A tumult of applause followed this sentiment. INDIA. By the arrival of the Bombay mail we have re ceived files of papers from Bombay to the 23d of August, and from Calcutta to the 16th of August. We take the following from the Calcutta English man of the 16th of August : " From Bhootan we have the usual peace ru mours, but the preparations for renewing the cam paign continue, and there is little doubt that peace, if made at all, will be made at Punakha. The Go vernment are now doing what should have long since been done—recalling the troops from the un healthy posts in the Dooars. Since it is determined to march into the interior of the country in the cold season, there can no longer be any object in con tinuing tc occupy them. The 11th Native Infantry, by the last accounts received, had upwards of 400 men in hospital.
