The objects of the Bank are—to take over the assets and liabilities of the Agra and Masterrnau's Bank (Limited), and liquidate the same as a working bank, and to continue that portion of the business formerly carried on by the Agra and United Service Bank (Limited). The proposed plan for this purpose is explained in the statement which has been already circulated, and which, at a numerously attended meeting of the shareholders of the Agra and Masterman's Bank (Limited), held at the London Tavern, on the 18th October, 1866, was unani mously and cordially adopted, and a committee of share holders appointed to "carry out the necessary arrange ments to give effect to the proposal, with power to make such modifications therein as the committee may find necessary." A copy of that statement, with the modifications .therein already agreed to by the committee, can be obtained on application as at foot. The committee have nominated the six above-named Directors, and it is intended to add not exceeding three additional Directors, to be selected by the Board from the subscribers to the new capital, making the number of original Directors not exceeding nine, but with power to increase afterwards, if found desirable. The business which it is proposed to carry on has been tested by the experience of the past to be both safe and profitable. From the establishment of the Agra and United Service Bank in 1833, up to the end of 1863, when it changed its name and entered upon an extended field of operations, it proved itself a growing and unchecked suc cess, and during the years 1862 and 1863, respectively, paid to its shareholders clear net dividends of 18 and 20 per cent. The advantages which the proprietors of the shares now offered will receive are : (1). The benefit of an old-established and profitable business, without any payment for goOdwill. (2). They will have a preference dividend out of pro fits for two years of ten per cent. per annum on their paid up capital. (3). They will have the option at once, or at any of the before-named periods, of paying up the whole amount of £lO per share : dividends being allowed on all payments pro rata,. The liability on the shares will therefore be ac tually, and not nominally, limited. Tlio subscription list will be closed for London on the 12th, and for the country on the 13th day of November, 1866, and applications will be considered in the order of their receipt.

STRANGE DISCOVERY OF THE BODY OF A CHILD AT CLAPIIAM.—A very extraordinary discovery of the dead body of a child has just been made at Erin Lodge, Clapham Park, Clapham, the residence of a highly respectable family. The discovery was made under the following circumstances: A few days since some alterations were being effected in the front kitchen of the house which rendered necessary the removal of a portion of the flooring, when, in pulling up the boards, one of the workmen discovered underneath a bundle of something wrapped up in a newspaper. He im mediately opened the bundle, and to his amazement pro duced the remains of what no doubt had once been a child ; they were, however, so wasted away that Dr. Parrott, of Clapham-common, who was at once called in, could not toll to what sex it had belonged. The newspaper bore the date of 11th April, 1865. information of the discovery was for warded in the usual manner to the coroner, but no inquest has yet been held. The matter is being investigated by the police, and the body la in the dead-house at Clapham. " TO THE MEMBERS OF THE JAMAICA COMMITTEE. " Gentlemen,—You have done me the honour of sending me certain papers relating to the atrocities of the authorities in Jamaica,' during the suppression of the late ' alleged rebellion.' I am far from being insensible to the opinion which your courtesy in sending me these papers implies : namely, that I am incapable of de fending any line of conduct to which the term ' atrocious' could with fairness be applied. Amid the many distracting lights which fall upon this question, the notions which I have been able to form regarding Jamaica, and the interpretation which I have been able to put upon occurrences you so earnestly de nounce, are these: That through the absence of necessary guidance and governance, the negroes of the colony had fallen into a very chaotic , antnad condition, presentinga deplorable contrast with their brethren in other colonies, who, favoured with less leisure; have become far better men.. The Jamaica negroes are, I am informed, as a general rule, lazy and profligate, while many of the •authorities I have consulted, and who have lived among these people, add a third and weightier adjective, which I refrain from writing down. It is not, I believe, contended, even by their friends, that the Jamaica negroes are not lazy ; it is only urged in extenuation that white men under the same circumstances would be lazy too. Be he black or white, the man who illustrates this doctrine, and who lives as the negroesofJamaica are reported to lire, soon ceases to be a civilised being. But he may be harmless and docile notwith standing. Though absolutely useless he may not be dangerous. Is this the character of the West Indian negro, or is it not ? History, written without re ference to the Jamaica insurrection—written long years before the committalof the deeds you denounce —gives the following answer to this question : " This vast conspiracy (that of the negroes in St. Domingo), productive in the end of calamities in the island unparalleled even in the long catalogue of European atrocity, had for its object the total extir pation of the whites, and the establishment of an independent black government over the whole colony. So inviolable was the secresy, so general the dissimulation of the slaves, that the awful catas trophe was in no way apprehended by the Euro pean proprietors, and a conspiracy which embraced nearly the whole negro population of the island was revealed only by the obscure hints of a few faithful domestics, who, without betraying their comrades, warned their masters of the approach of an unknown and terrible danger. The explosion was sudden and dreadful, beyond anything ever before seen among mankind. At once the beautiful plains of the north of the island were covered with fires, the labours of a century were devoured in a night, while the ne groes, like unchained tigers, precipitated themselves on their masters, seized their arms, massacred them without pity, and threw them into the flames.. . The cruelties exercised on the unhappy captives on both sides in this disastrous contest exceeded any thing recorded in history. The negroes marched with spiked infants on their spears instead of colours, they sawed asunder the male prisoners, and violated the females on the dead bodies of their husbands.'— Alison's History of Europe,' vol. 6, p. 104. "It was people of this race and temper who, called together by the sound of horns and shells, assembled i❑ hundreds round the Courthouse of :Morita Bay on Oct. 11, 1865. It was such people who then and there fell upon our countrymen, and after driving them by fire from the courthouse, slew, hacked, and mutilated them ; and who, after having done this, proceeded to spread the flame of insurrection else where. At the time here referred to discontent and disaffection prevailed throughout the whole island of Jamaica. This I gather from your own docu ments. The colony then resembled the dry grass of a prairie, ready to be set on fire from beginning to end by a spark of successful insurrection. But, lest what I gather from your documents should be tinc tured by any bias of mine, I offer to your notice the first of a series of letters bearing upon this subject which comes to my hand. On July 20, 1865, Mr. Hudson, of Jamaica, writes thus to Mr. Salmon, of the same island : " ' Spring Vale, July 20, 18G5. " ' Dear Sir,—l think it incumbent on me to in form you of certain reports of a serious nature which are in cit culation in my neighbourhood. For the past few weeks there have been rumours of a rebellion among the peasantry, but I did not attach any importance to them, but conceived they origi nated from want of understanding the causes of the recent meetings held in this and the adjacent parishes until lately. I have been led by sufficient information to believe they are more than passing reports, and which require some notice. It appears that there is an organised plot among the people in this vicinity for a rebellion about the early part of August ensuing. My reasons for believing there is truth in the matter are these house girl of mine has stated several times in my family's hearing that the black people have agreed upon rising in arms at the above period for the purpose of murdering the upper classes, and destroying and afterwards seizing their properties. She does not deny that she ob tained this information from her friends. For the present she will not say anything more on the sub ject, but only states "We must wait and see." Other persons have likewise given us intelligence of a similar nature. Dr. M'Catty mentioned some thing to me of a like import which tends greatly to strengthen them. He stated he had already ac quainted you with the purport of his information. I do not think it would be wise to treat these rumours merely as " idle tales." My district is hot to join with other parts of the island in a move of the kind, if made. My delicate state of health pre vents me calling to see you, but I shall be glad to give you whatever further information in my power, and to receive any directions from you on the sub ject. It would not be prudent to allow these strong reports to continue without preparing, as far as we are able, against an attempt of disturbance should it turn out to be correct.--I have, &c., (Signed) " JOHN HUDSON. " g The Hon. John Salmon, Custos.' " A house girl of mine ':—You, gentlemen, are far bet ter acquainted than 1 am with what an illustrious member of your body calls 'the law of inseparable association;' and no doubt you will recognise an illustration of this law in the promptitude with which the warnings preceding the troubles in St. Domingo suggest themselves on reading this letter. On the 11th of October, as above stated, the much-dreaded action began. The Governor of the island had then thrown upon him the responsibility of preserving the property, lives, and honour of 14,000 British men and women, who were scattered in isolated and unprotected positions among a negro population of 350,000. And it is to be remarked that the leaders of these people were well aware of the advantage of their position; that they were not held back from revolt and rapine by the fear of subse quent retribution. In the neighbouring island of Hayti they had the example of a people which had successfully defied the power of France. • In reply to an intimation of the swift vengeance of England in case of insurrection, Mr. G. W. Gordon was able topoint out that 'all the power of the great Napoleon could - not put down the rising in Hayti, and that was successful, for the troops died of disease before they could meet the pe o p le in the mountains.' In when the power displayed by En g land in crushing th o - dian mutiny was urged upon his attention, Mr. Gordon was ablo to respond—' I n dia is not at all a case in point for , India is a flat country, and.the English troops would over run and conquer it ; but here is a mountainous country, and before the British troops could reach the mountains they would die of disease here.' Taking all these things into account I endeavoured to clearly realise the position of the governor, who had this problem suddenly thrust upon his attention by the butchery at Morant Bay—How, with the force at his disposal, to preserve the lives of 7,000 British men, and the honour of 7,000 British women from the murder and the lust of black savages capable of the deeds which history shows to be theirs at St. Domingo, and a re-enactment of which had, to all appearance, begun under the said governor's eyes. I will not dwell upon the measures taken then and there by the governor to solve this problem ; for his deeds in the first instance have won for him the praise of his censors, and have challenged with out hostile response the judgment of yourselves. But you denounce him for extending martial law beyond the neces sary period, and for inflicting the punishment due to rebel lion for days and weeks after all resistance had ceased.' 1 am not prepared to question the truth of these allegations ; I am not prepared to deny that the period of punishment was too long, or that its character was too severe. Now that the smoke of battle has cleared away, you perhaps see more truly the character of the field. But 1 would invite you to transport yourselves to that field while the smoke still hung upon it ; to remember that a former rebellion in Jamaica, which everybody supposed to be quelled in May, broke out with redoubled fury in June ;' to think of Governor Eyre with the blood of-his slaughtered country men before his eyes—with the memories of St. Domingo in his mind—with the consciousness that the whole island round him was near its point of combustion, and with no possible means of estimating how near. In what way, gentlemen, some of your number would have acted under these circumstances God only knows. In all probability they would have acted kindly and calamitously, for phi lanthropists can unconsciously become shedders of blood. How others of your number would have acted I believe I do know. They might have acted wit,' more tact, and thus given less offence ; but their measird'of mercy to the murderers would not, I am persuaded, have exceeded that of Governor Eyre. It appears to me that you practically forget the circumstances which lam hero endeavouring to bring before your minds. There seems a tendency on your part to tone down the crimes of the nogro and to bring his punishments into relief. You speak, for example, of the massacre at Morant Bay as a 'local riot.' But looking at the historic antecedents what right had Governor Eyre to come to this conclusion ? Had he come to it, and acted on it, ho might have earned for himself the execration of the English people, if not of mankind. To his knowledge the whole island was disaffected, and history had informed him what a dis affected negro population can do. He knew how they could plot in secret, and spring like tigers on their victims the moment their plans were matured. Only think of his posi tion, knowing that such things had occurred, and with a horrible practical intimation before him that they were about to occur again. The height and span of a bridge, gentlemen, must be regulated with reference to the larger floods, and the action of Governor Eyre had to be deter mined, not by the hypothesis of a local riot, but by the contemplation of the calamities which were certain to overwhelm the whole island if the insurrection were per mitted to expand. No narrower assumption than this could, under the circumstances, be entertained. Had the local riot hypothesis been demonstrable at the time—could it have been proved that the insurrection was confined to a single parish, and that the culprits at large would not spread the fire of rebelliou throughout the colony, 1 would join you in condemning Governor Eyre. But no such thing was de monstrable. Had he had a force at his. command sufficient to cope with insurrection, even though the whole island were engaged in it, I would let him answer for himself. But he had no such force. The power opposed to him, if permitted to organise itself, was sufficient to swallow him and those for whose lives lie was accountable. He was therefore obliged to augment his relative strength, by damping everywhere the spirit of rebellion, and this could only be done by making the name, power, and determina tion of England terrible throughout the island. That errors should be committed, that cruelties should be per petrated, that wrong should be done is, I fear, under such circumstances, unavoidable; but the error, the cruelty, and the wrong, so far as they were committed, were for the most part beyond the control of Governor Eyre. You have directed my attention to the case of Mr. Gordon, and I have looked into it again. Ipass with out comment the evidence of Lieutenant Edenborough, the extreme gravity of which cannot be overlooked, because, through the miscarriage of a letter, his evidence, though in the blue-book, was not taken before the commis sioners. From the speeches of Mr. G9rdon in the House of Assembly ; front his relationship to Mr. Paul Bogle, ono of the principal murderers of Morant Bay ; from his letters to Mr. Lawrence, his manager; from his conversations with Messrs. Harrison, Beckwith, Ford, and others ; from his published address to the negroes, and from his other addresses, the conclusion seems indubitable, that ho was the taproot from which the insurrection drew its main susten ance, and that Governor Eyre w.ts justified in concluding that no man concerned in the murder of our countrymen was more guilty than lie. When, therefore,. the sentence on (.I.:.rdon, after having been approved by his officers, was Slibillitte , l to him, lie did not stay jitignient, but ratified the decision that others had pronounced. IVhether, in the details of this proceeding, ho committed or did nut commit a legal blunder, I ant not able to say. If he did, ho has surely paid dearly for it by the ruin of his career. I notice throughout his entire conduct the clear conviction on his part that ho was doing his duty, the undoubting trust in the justice of his countrymen which caused him to neglect the personal safeguards which a more adroit person would have employed. To associate the term 'murder' with his name is, in my opinion, without justification. There is no propriety in the term unless it is backed by assumptions which no man has a right to make. And if in the prose cution, which, to the detriment of this country, is now in voked against Governor Eyre, the execution of Gordon, from a lawyer's point of view, be deemed indefensible, 1 trust the common sense of Englishmen will perceive that it was caused by those whose own bloody atrocities had, fur the time, stifled mercy, and abrogated law. Such, gentlemen, aro the notions and interpretations which your courtesy in writing to me induces me to lay before you. And such being my notions, when asked to join the Eyre Defence Committee, I felt that cowardice, or a dislike to the worry involved in the act, were the only reasons which oppos e d my d o i ng so. Con cluding from what I had observed in society, that Governor Eyre was more likely to suffer from timidity than convic tion—that the dread of you, gentl emen, an d of those whom you represent was very widely spread—l of overcame the strong reluctance to mingle in any matter pledge you my word of honour, 'gentlemen, that during this inquiry I have laid before me the testimony of men of approved valour, coolness of j u d gment, and capacity, who have occupied positions o f th e most critical danger who positions in extracted themselv es an d ot h ers from such t'ositions in a manner which h as secured for them the unanimous applause of the people of this country, and who, from data gathered on the sp o t , conc l ude that in the month of Oct. 1865, Governor Ey re saved Lhe whole white population of Jamaica from massacre. I have the solemn assurance of such mom that England has few sons as noble, few men so equal to a great emergency, few who have done the State such service as G overnor Eyre. And I now call upon you, with the most solemn emphasis that man can address to man, not to permit personal pride, the love of victory, or the desire to substantiate that to which you have committed yourselves, because you are so committed, to influence your further action in the matter. I call upon you in the name of all that is wise and dignified in human nature— in the name of all that is just and manly in English character, not to permit the folly of Governor Eyre's admirers, if such folly should in your estimation exist, to colour your judg ment in this grave question. And whether you will bear, or whether you will forbear, I call upon the men of Eng land who share the views here set forth, to throw them selves without delay between you and Governor Eyre, and to prevent you from adding to the harm which he has already experienced at your hands.— I have the honourf you, to bedien remain, gentlemen, with profound esteem for many o and with brotherly affection for some, your "Joirq TYNDA servant, " Athenfeum Club, Nov. 7, 1866." TIIE BURYING ALIVE OF THREE MEN.—The catas trophe in the well at Villomolle may now be said to have terminated, and all hope of saving Augusto Poirier, the third of the unfortunate men, has been abandoned. We have already mentioned the finding of the bodies of the father and the son Louis ; the former was got to the sur face, but the latter, being embedded in earth, stones, and the shoring timber, could not be moved without the risk of the whole sides of the pit falling in.

Pain is the indicator of some disordur or disease, and should never be neglected, for the pain of to-day may prove the agony of to-morrow. Holloway's medicaments stand pro-eminently forward, and are every where commended for quickly removing all maladies when the least uneasiness has discovered their seat and kind. These remedies so purify the blood and regulate its circu lation that every organ acts perfectly and every section is natural, which is health, and may be secured by - every in valid at a trifling outlay. The purpose of Holloway's re medies is to mitigate suffering, abolish pain, and extinguish disease, and they nobly effect this object. One trial will convince the most sceptical. President JOHNSON, rained to the end under the extraordinary delusion 3 nation, as a whole, supported his policy. He was only undeceived by the result of the elec tions, -which came on him like a thunderbolt. We cannot wonder that the English should retain false impressions touching the sentiments of Americans, when the ruler of the nation and the person most deeply interested should be convicted of this ign orance. There is, in truth, no question now worth fighting for between the contending factions. The war; has proved that the Union is to be maintained ; and, as all parties are agreed on this vital subject, the manner of accomplishment alone remains to be de cided. If we could blow away all the smoke and clouds raised by the bitter discord of parties, we would see how narrow are the interests involved, and how mad the idea that those interests require the sacrifice of a single life. The question is simply on what terms the ten unrepresented States are to re-enter the Union. While the parties remained apparently equally balanced, and every spur was given by - the violent language of politicians to rouse the people into action, there was danger of the strong-minded on both sides car rying the game beyond the bounds of reason. On this account we hoped above all things that the people would speak out, and decide the matter either one way or the other. Whether Mr. JoinisoNcarried his policy or Congress enforced the Constitutional amendment, was comparatively of little moment to the frightful issue which might have arisen, and would in truth have been, in the broadest sense of the word, a civil war. An appeal to arms to settle the differences between the PRESIDENT and Congress would have been a reproduction of that between CHARLES and his Parliament on a scale out of all proportion larger than that which laid waste and desolated for years the green fields_of England. It would, indeed, be the most horrible catastrophe that could occur in this world, stripped of the princi ples and motives which could in any way justify the terrible ordeal. It was incumbent on the American people, in the face of such an eventuality, strongly, sternly, and with determined force, to speak. clad they wavered, half supporting the PRESIDENT—haIf supporting the Congress, each side might have blustered till the horrible calamity overtook society. The decided success, then, of the Republican party is a blessing to the country. Not so much that it enforces a rational and legitimate policy, arising from the consequences of the late war, as that it settles a cause of dispute which might have been carried to the length of involving the nation in ruin. We always thought that an appeal to arms was in the last degree improbable, because we felt the nation would take action, and that its leaders would bow to its voice when heard. The nation has spoken, and all that remains is for the leaders to shape their course accordingly. The Republican party is triumphant ; and it has now only to secure its victory, and carry the people along with it by listening to the counsel of moderate men, and using its success with discretion. The PRESIDENT, in spite of his faults, is an earnest, patriotic citi zen ; perhaps too determined to enforce his own views, yet believing honestly that the policy lie had propounded was the true solution to the difficulties of the position. It is now more than probable that he will abandon his policy, and adopt the amend ments which Congress desire to enforce. At the same time that the North maintains the ascendancy that wealth, numbers, and the result of the appeal to arms have given it, it is clearly as much for its interest as for that of the South that sectional dif ferences should cease, and the nation be again united as one. It would be absurd for the great States, whose will is now the law of the Union, to profess jealousy or fear of the prostrate South. The development of Southern resources is a vital element of the Union's strength. The task now before the statesmen of America is sufficiently difficult without adding thereto an undying quarrel, and dragging along in seeming union, but. in reality in discord, an unwilling people. There are financial difficul ties as well as those to repair the waste of war— there are boundless tracts to be colonised as well as those trodden into a desert by contending armies-- there are burnt and bombarded cities to be rebuilt as well as their alienated inhabitants to be con ciliated—there are great staples which for merly gave America the command in the mar kets of the world to be fostered into more than their old productiveness, as well as the chief agri cultural and mineral wealth of creation to be raised and guided into the proper channels of commerce. Surely such grand designs are sufficient, even for the aspiring people of America, without having their efforts neutralised by a senseless conten tion which now involves no vital principles, the great issues of discord and the great questions contended for having been finally settled by the war. The North can afford to con cede liberally to the South, and the concessions will strengthen, not weaken, the relative supe riority. We trust that every succeeding mail will bring us news that the heat of the contest is abating, and that parties will be found more and more to assimilate to each other, working for the real interests of the Union on a broader basis of conciliation, which is the true essence of politics. nglo-American Times. CONSPIRACY TODEFRAUD CREDITORS.—OnMon day last, bofore a bench of magistrates at Dewsbury, Mr. Abraham Blackburn, described as a person of considerable property, was chargod with conspiring, along with one James Blackburn, a bankrupt, to defraud the creditors of the said James Blackburn and Geo. Blackburn, his brother, to the amount of £2,030. Mr. Bond, of Leeds, appeared for the prosecution on behalf of the bankrupts' assignees, and Mr. W. Carr appeared for the prisoner. Two years Ago George and James Blackburn, the bankrupts, and who are the nephews of the defendant, carried on an extensive business as woollen manufacturers in Gomersal, en d were largely engaged in Government army contracts.

Extensive strikes among these men, the (lull state of the money-market, and the important fact that London has, in shipbuilding, a very formidable rival in Glasgow, are all causes tending to this ve ry unsatisfactory state of things, which, if it lasts long, will bring a vast amount of misery upon the working classes in the neighbourhoods above mentioned.
