SECOND REPORT Ordi nary General Meeting of Proprietors at the London GEORGE avern on Tuesday, the 10th in s t. P. KITSON, Esq., in the Chair. 8 The Di rectors in their first Report to the Shareholders submitted the accounts of the Association to the 31st Do ll Faber, 1864, proposing that the financial year should ter _ mate on the 30th of June in each year ; and they there ,ore DOW furnish the Proprietors with the Balance-sheet seethe 30th June, 1865, together with the Profit and Loss mit for the six months to that date, both duly audited. Since the Gelneral Meeting held on the 28th F e b ruary high cumin ast th o Directors tenti o have added to the Boa r d gen tl emen o f mercial standing and infl uence ; an d pursuant to Lns e xpressed, th e y appo i nted a General Manager in b9ndon, but the r esu l t not being in accordance with the i?'ectors' : expectation s , th e appointment has been tormt -1: ;!_tel-!aged, and the matter of securing the services of another r engages attention. Although the six months ending 30th Juno last cannot IZ-.for 'various reasons, amongst them the reduction in the i e l ° of cotton consequent on the cessation of hostilities in ri ca, and the loss of crops through the inundations in ReirurkeY—he considered to have been favourable for the orations of the Company, yet it will be seen from tho Profit and Loss Account that the gross profits for the half- V I. w ore .£23,292 19s. Bd., which, with £6,833 165., balance of last account, enables the directors, after payment of all all preliminary en . rrent expenses, to propose that £959 85. be written expenses, £2,000 put to the Reserve Fund, 44(1 X 18,079 14s. (less a small amount for rebate) carried over to meet any losses which may result from the sus 11t alt Pension of payment b y th e i r Agents at Smyrna, Stephen ass and Anthony Pittaco, which the Directors regret to announce occurred in May last. ouStnThe Directors duly despatched a representative to yrna to tak e c h arge of the Branch, and to arrange all outstanding matters ; and from information received they have every reason for believing that the losses will be more than covered by the sum now carried over ; but until they are in a position to state definitely the exact amount of loss, they consider it prudent to recommend to the pro prietors the carrying forward of the whole sum rather than declare a dividend on the present occasion. The Directors have to state, in conclusion, that certain arrangements are in view, which, if completed, and the operations of the Company bo not entirely confined to the Turkish Empire, must materially advance the interests of the shareholders ; and they have still full confidence in the future prosperity of the Association. Two Directors, Frederick Harrison, Esq., and F. B. Ren shaw, Esq., retire at this meeting, and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election. THE OTTOMAN FINANCIAL ASSOCIATION (Limited). DR.

On Monday evening Sir John Bowring delivered a lecture at the Bristol Philosophical Institution, the subject being " Siam and the Siamese. The learned knight, in commencing his lecture, referred to the Siamese twins, who, he said, were not, after all, Siamese. Their father was a Chinaman, and their names were Chinese. They had the good fortune to amass a good deal of money together, and went to the United States, where they settled, where they married, and where they both of them had had chil dren. He could not enter into the embarrassments of their domestic arrangements—(laughter)—but certain it was that they were attached to one another at this very moment. The country of Siam was a very remarkable one ; it was about 200,000 miles in extent, and had a very large population, and until recently we had had very little intercourse with it. Something, but not much, was known of the early history of this remarkable land ; but it was cele brated in the most distinguished of the epic poems of Portugal. Some time ago we succeeded in estab lishing commercial relations with Siam, but They had fallen into desuetude ; and the conditions of the treaty had not been observed. The lion. knight spoke of the fruitless efforts of Mr. Craufurd and Rajah Brooke to re-establish those relations which he was afterwards the instrument of re-establishing; and at the same time remarked that these gentlemen did the best they could under the unfavourable circum stances in which they were placed. He then spoke of the sovereigns of Siam, and of the great advan tages which had accrued to Siam, China, and other countries by the extension of free trade, and said that free trade was producing throughout the world a revolution of thought and feeling, more kind and tolerant and charitable, and more Christian, than had existed in the generations which had passed away. He adverted to the small amount of trade formerly carried on with Siam, and observed that— thanks to a liberal policy, and the results of the com mercial treaty—no less than 200 vessels were engaged in traffic with that country. Sir John gave inte resting details of his mission to Siam with a view to re-establish commercial relations, and pointed out how amicably the difficulties which beset his mission were subdued. He then spoke of a few topics which , particularly characterised the Siamese nation. The Siamese might be consi dered as the most attached to the Buddhist faith ; indeed, Buddhism was the most universal faith amongst the Chinese, Thibetans, Siamese, and amongst most of the nations east of the Ganges. The Siamese were singularly attached to Buddhism, and no man exercised the rights of citizenship until he should have passed a certain time in the Buddhist convent. Every youth in Siam spent some months under the teaching of the priests, and there he was initiated into the great characteristics of his faith. Most of the priests were maintained by contributions which were brought to them from every house in the morning. The priest came in silence and took up the gift of the people, and in that way he was provided, and provided superfluously for his wants, and the wants of the convent. With the Siamese, drunkenness was one of the rarest offences. In the religions of about 700 millions of human beings— amongst the Buddhists, amongst the Brahmins, and amongst the Mahomedans—the use of acohol was prohibited and considered an offence. He was not one of those who went to the full extent of many of his friends, because he thought abstention was not necessary or desirable if these blessings of Provi dence could be used wisely or temperately ; but still if he were to be asked whether abstention was not far better than excess, he could not at all doubt what the result should be, and he could not but own the that crimesamongof vi violence the nations w were e far that m orea r utterly re abstained than they were amongst us. He had seen but few drunken men in China. He had never seen a drunken m an in Siam. It was true they used opium, but t he use of opium had not led to those crimes of v iolence which were associated with intoxication produced by alcoholic liquors. Sir John, in conclusion, spoke elusion of the vari ous productions of the cou ntr y , and the commerce which they afforded with the country and the colo nies. On the motion o f the Rev. F. C.

A DOMESTIC TRAGEDT.—The Armorican of Brest relates the circumstances of a fearful tragedy which has just occurred in that city. A workman named Prigent married, about a month ago, a widow named Mazares, the mother of four children, but an industrious woman, who aided by her labour in supporting the household. A few' days back th e h us b an d returne d home i n a state o f intoxi cation, quarrelled with his wife, and ended by beating her. The unfortunate woman passed the night in tears, and the next morning went out early, telling a neighbour that she was going to visit one of herchildren who was in an asylum She was not again seen alive. She, as it was afterwards discovered, went with her three remaining children to a deep pond, where she first threw in the two younger, and then taking in her arms the eldest, aged 11, jumped in with her, and the whole wore drowned. i e— A .

The people of New Brunswick are justly proud of their beautiful river, the broad bosom of which forms the pleasantest, as well as rapidest, means of communication between the thriving port of St. John and the city of Fredericton, the seat of their Government and Legislature. Beyond Fredericton, up to its sources in the foreign State of Maine, the St. John traverses a rich and picturesque, but only partially settled country. Travellers who make their way from Riviere du Loup, the present ter minus of the Grand Trunk Railway, direct throngh the country to Fredericton, speak favourably of the beauty of the scenery, the excellence of the road, the goodness of the post-horses, and the comfort of the little inns that stand at intervals of 40 or 50 miles apart, and strongly recommend all to whom neither time nor expense is an object, to take this route from Canada to St. John, instead of branch ing off to Portland by the Grand Trunk. Not hav ing made the land journey, I am unable to speak of its advantages ; but having taken the quicker route by Portland and the sea, I can conscientiously state that its comparative speediness is dearly purchased by a host of discomforts and inconveniences. From St. John to Fredericton, a distance of 65 miles by the post road and 85 by the river, the scenery is one long succession of changeful beauty. The narrow gorge between bold precipitous rocks, the spreading lakes, lovely as Windermere, or grand as Loch Awe, the level stretch of cultivated farms, the numerous greenislands grass, c r ove s r s, e d yielding to the depth of four or five feet by the sp r i ng ti me fl oo d s , but green in summer with waving and • lding more luxuriant crops of hay than are to be gathered anywhere else on the North American continent, follow in kaleido scopic variety, as the steamer ascends the river, and impress the mind of the traveller not alone with the ideas naturally inspired by physical beauty, but we T al h t e h s o t f . a je fr h e n e h a a n s d h i ad ndus m t a ri h o y us n p am eo L l . e. By with those deri va bl e f rom t h e prese nt or prospective the Mil licete Indians, the aborigines of the country, it was called the Awollostook, or " Big River ;" by the Micmacs, another Indian tribe, speaking a different language, it was called the Guangonda, also meaning the " Big River ;" and by the Abenaquis, a third tribe, the Loshtook, or " Long River." To the first French discoverers it was only known as the River of the Great Bay (the Bay of Fundy), and from the noted French sea -captain, the Sieur de Monts, who re-discovered it on the 24th of June, 1604, the festival of St. John the Baptist, it received its pre sent name. It has two series of falls—one 1254 miles above Fredericton, and the other within two miles of the mouth of the harbour or St. John. The latter is one of the most remarkable objects in North America, presenting at low water a magnificent torrent, second only in g ran deur and turbulence to the accumulated rrd ur s in of g 3oo miles through r wu g pa e into the s ea , an d a t hi g h t ego t o a ffall, and receiving from the the h water waters eee C r ere hp of a n fe nv d a (lei drainageer o r e i e a rg at o wt O h tidal flow of the Bay of Fundy—which rises at St. John to a height of 28 feet--a sea cataract which sends back the fresh waters, and forms a tidal rapid of singular beauty, over which for 10 or 15 minutes at every tide the smaller vessels in the harbour of St. John are enabled to make their way up the stream. Fredericton is a small town of between 5,000 and 6,000 inhabitants. It contains a handsome Cathe dral, and a not very handsome government house, barracks, and House of Assembly. It also contains a university, with three professors and an average of about 30 students. In the absence of the Hon. Arthur Gordon, who is now in England, the affairs of the province are administered by Colonel J. A. Cole, of the 15th Regiment, who has commanded the British forces in the colony since the reinforce ment of 1861-2 was rendered necessary by the threatening aspect of affairs consequent upon the seizure of Messrs. Slidell and Mason on board of the Trent by the blundering zeal of Commander Wilkes. When Fredericton was fixed upon as the seat of the Anglican Bishop, the name of the " Celestial City" wa s given to it ironically by the people of St. John, and the name is still employed by all who would ridicule or disparage its preten sions, and who think St. John ought to have been the ecclesiastical as well as political capital of the province. It appears that the Protestant prelate had no sooner assumed the comparatively obscure and unknown title of Bishop of Fredericton, than the Roman Catholics, aware of the value of a name, made their prelate the Bishop of St. John. It is alleged by those who deplore the influence of the Irish Roman Catholics in the elections of the city and county of St. John, that the Anglo-Saxon and Protestant colonists committed a political mistake in this matter, and gave the Irish Roman Catholics an advantage in electing members to the House of As sembly, which it was not desirable, either for Impe rial or Provincial purposes, that they should enjoy. As observed in my previous letter from St. John, the actual House of Assembly was elected after an appeal to the country at the close of last year, on the question of Confederation, and contains a ma jority against that measure. The opinion at Frede ricton is that that majority is wholly due to the Irish vote at St. John, and that public sentiment in regard to the question has been so greatly strengthened by the wish of the Imperial Govern ment, made known through the Colonial-office, sub sequent to that election, that were the present house to be dissolved and a new appeal made to the coun try on the same issue, the former verdict would be reversed. It is not to be supposed that there is no opposition to the scheme in the provincial capital. On the contrary, the opposition is very consider able, both in talent and in numbers. Few of the disputants, however, go to the root of the contro versy, or presume to say that Confederation would not be to the advantage of all the Provinces, pro vided more equitable terms could be agreed upon than those adopted by the Conference at Quebec. The New Brunswickers, like all, or most, of the British North American colonists, would like to enjoy liberty and good government without pay ing any other price for them than such as they could find means to afford out of the produce of the Cus toms' duties imposed upon foreign and British manu factures. They refuse to put their hands into their pockets to pay the slightest direct tax, and the most trifling local rate drives them into simulated paroxysms of fear or fury lest it should be only the prelude to further exactions sufficient to crush their energies and exhaust their resources. In addition to this the people of New Brunswick are, or affect to be, smitten with an ineradicable distrust or jealousy of Canada, and to entertain the idea that in the scheme of Confederation they are to be made to play the undignified part of a cat's-paw to rescue that country from its difficulties. The following document, which was largely circulated in the dis trict of Fredericton at the last election, gives a fuller and more correct view of the arguments, if such they may be called, of the anti-Confederate party than any which I would hope to convey by abstract or summary. It betrays a vast amount of ignorance as well as of misstatement and prejudice, but may be taken as a fair sample of the reasoning on which the opponents of a union of the Provinces rely to defeat the election to the Legislature of the friends of that measure. The Confederation candidates for the county of York, in which Fredericton is situated, were Messrs. Fisher, Dow, and Street, and the Anti- Confederation candidates were Messrs. Hatheway and Allen (both members of the present Adminis tration), Mr. Needham (the Mayor of Fredericton), and Mr. J. J. Fraser (an attorney and barrister in ' the city). The Anti-Confederates, or " Anti's," as they are called for shortness, appealed to the elec tors in the following terms : " Follow Citizens, —You are called upon to-day to select four mon to represent your interests and wishes in the General Assembly of this Province. I would now ask you seriously whether you wish to have a direct tax placed on every horse, cow, ox, sheep, plough, harrow, fork, rake, hoe, and other articles in and around your farms ? Do you wish to pay for a railroad to run by the north shore ? Do yeu wish to pay 45 millions of money for Canadian canals ? Do you wish that your young men should be sent to Canada as soldiers to fight Canada's battles ? Do you wish Canada oats, beef, pork, butter, &c., to come into this country at one-half the price you are now receiving ? Do you wish the whole revenue of New Brunswick to be handled by dishonest statesmen in Canada ? If you wish all these things, e to Dtt themselves het h toonha t Itl n epvf,:ode N av ' al o upned t tei d e o. ctoziyifsi dozen antte r sron:p F odesfo i ifisyi e acnl r svoli , ooauen, S nnlptiees t alv t ise • ?. xi e etcal d e lyengy l ei at. tdua.

Mr. Fisher as Governor of ono of t d ee the Lower Provinces, Mr. Street as a Judge, and Dr. Dow to some other fat office. This, my friends, is all you can possibly expect. Are we in New Brunwick not a happy baF o pyon u flrojef t usdhlo l giegern e niri ceiving any return for Ilatheway, Allen, Needham, pledged themselves to opposo this doubly accursed Confe deration ; this lying, swindling, Sabbath-breaking scheme. They have pledged themselves to maintain our present rights and freedom, our revenues and our young men. We are now happy and united. Let us remain so ; and beware of those who would drive us into annexation with so cor rupt a colony as Canada." These and other arguments and misstatements ludicrously like what might have been expected at Eatanswill or Little Pedlington, but utterly un worthy of the importance of the questions involved or the dignity of a colony like N ew Brunswick, pre vailed with the " free and enlightened " electors. The " Anti's" were elected, and two of them became members of the Administration which superseded that of Mr. Tilley. The dislike to Canada mani fested in the document is not, however, peculiar to the people of York, but prevails largely in the mari time provinces. Some who condemn but strive to explain the feeling allege that it takes its rise in the idea that the Upper Canadians are at heart Yankees, not truly loyal to the British Crown, but desirous of ultimate annexation to the United States ; that a union with the Lower Canadians would be as great a source of trouble to the whole Confederation as is has proved to the English speaking population of the upper province, and that, independently of those considerations, Canadian statesmen—corrupt or not, as events might prove—would monopolise all the richest offices in the gift of the Confederation, and oust the placehoiders of New Brunswick from the situations that would be conferred upon them, had their own Legislature the exclusive power to appoint them. Beyond the consideration of this question, and the passage of a series of resolutions adverse to Confede ration, it does not appear that the Legislature of New Brunswick had much work to do in the session which commenced on April 27 and closed on June 8 last. The greater portion of the published de bates is more suggestive of the discussions of a small parochial vestry than of a Parliament —though amusingly illustrative of the state of society in the provinces, and of the very small matters on which the legislative intellect delights to display itself. On the second day of the session a very animated discussion took place on the heinous extravagance of the house and the Government in paying a sum amounting to upwards of £2OO during the session for coach hire for the use of members in going to and fro between the House of Assembly and the Governor's residence. One honourable representa tive, in asking for information on the subject, said he sometimes saw as many as six or seven coaches at the door, all paid for by the sweat of the people's brow, and not by the members using them. The Speaker having replied that he knew nothing of the matter, another honourable representative of th e people's brow" declared that the weather was fine, the streets in good order, and the Treasury low, and that, all things considered, it would be better for the members to walk, instead of enjoying the luxury of a ride at the public expense. Ile had no objection to the employment of one coach, or two at the utmost—but as for seven, the thing was an abomination. A thirdrepresentative openly accused honourable members of using the coaches to take ladies to evening parties, or to church, instead of going to Government House. Wetmore ex pressed his firm conviction that the four dollars a day paid to members were quite enough to pay their hotel bills and coach hire. A Mr. Lydsay said that if the streets of Fredericton were like the roads in the backwoods, where a horse could hardly "wallow" through the mud, there might be some excuse for paying the coach hire of the members ; but this was PRICE 4d., STAMPED 5d.: not the case. The members ought to walk,'especially members of the Government, who received £6OO per annum of the public money. Another member proposed to settle all differences by having an om nibus. To this it was objected that the Ministe rialists and the Opposition could not be expected to ride in one vehicle. Another and more practical disputant said that the simplest, best, and cheapest mode was to abolish the coaches altogether, and re quest his Excellency the Governor to walk—or to ride at his own expense, if he preferred riding— down to the house every day of the session, and there wait in an ante-roomfrom 11 to 12 o'clock that members might present their addresses without the trouble of " hunting him up." A Mr. Hill solemnly averred that this was not a question of funds, but of principle, and that he knew of no evil which so seriously affected the country, or about which there were so many complaints from the people, as this of coach hire. Mr. Needham, the Mayor of Frede ricton, ridiculed such miserable economy. If they wanted to be so very stingy, why did they order the purchase of a new gown for the Speaker ? (Here an unknown member interrupted, " Because the old one was worn out.") "So," replied Mr. Needham, amid loud laughter, " was the old Speaker." " Then," he continued, " there was the Sergeant-at- Arms. Why not abolish him to save the expense? The Sergeant-at-Arms was no terror to honourable members, and might well be dispensed with. Then, again, there was the messenger. Why could not honourable members carry their own letters and buy their own stationery and sealing-wax ? As to the idea that the representative of her Majesty should come down to the house whenever the members had an address to present, it was absurd nonsense." Here the proposer of this indignity to his Excel lency inquired why, if it were nonsense, the Go vernor of Canada should come down to the house. Mr. Needham was ready with a crushing reply : " Why do they do so in Canada? Why did theyrebel in Canada? If they had a rebellion in Canada, was that a reason why there should be a rebellion in New Brunswick? We are not compelled to do as Canada does just yet, though the friends of Confederation are trying hard to get us to." It is difficult to say how long these portentous discussions would have lasted, and into what high political inquiries they would have branched off, had they not been interruptedby the usual hour of adjournment. As the subject was not resumed during the session, it may be presumed that the members rode as usual to confer with his Excellency, or took their wives and daughters to evening parties at the public expense, oblivious of their duty to their constituencies and of the best in terests of their imperilled country. A more important, though scarcely so amusing, debate took place on the subject of the proposed bounty for the killing of the bears by which the re moter districts of the colony are infested. This year, in consequence of the paucity of berries and other wild fruits on which these animals principally sub sist, they have ventured down into the settled coun try in greater numbers than was ever before known, and, driven by hunger, have made sad havoc in the sheep folds and poultry yards of the colonists. After a long andanimated discussion, in which many curi ous facts with regard to these animals were elicited, it of p a e g r r e h e e d a tdh for r the ev e p r y r o v b i e n a c r e k s i h l 1 o: d i d pay a p y r a o d b u o c u t i i i o t n y of the snout or jaw, the said snout or jaw to show the molar teeth, and the person claiming the bounty to swear that he himself had killed it. Since this law came into operation in May last, the bounty has been claimed and paid in nearly 500 cases. There was formerly a similar bounty for the killing of wolves ; but although wolves in the province are more destructive than the bears, frequently killing whole flocks of sheep in a night, by biting their throats and drinking their blood, it was considered that the universal repugnance felt to these animals was quite sufficient inducement, without the offer of bounty money, to insure their destruction wherever they became troublesome. This is not the first time that the Bear Bounty has been autho rised in the province. Prior to the year 1850 a law was in force by which a bounty of $3 was paid to every person who produced the snout of a bear and made oath before a magistrate that he had slain it. The bounty was for the most part claimed by the Indians, of whom about 1,100 remain in the province. On investigation it was discovered that a large proportion of the snouts were made of caoutchouc and gutta-percha, and were expressly manufactured to defraud the Government of New Brunswick by the unscrupulous Yankees in Maine, who sold them to the Indians at half a dollar each. To prevent this fraud it was provided that the upper and lower jaws should be produced, and should contain the molar teeth of the animal slain. Yankee ingenuity has not been able to manufacture a spurious article sufficiently natural in appearance to deceive even a backwoods' justice of the peace, and the consequence is that every snout truly re presents a dead bear, though the bear is quite as frequently killed in the Yankee State of Maine, where there is no Bear Bounty, as in the province of New Brunswick. The measure this year was not passed without strenuous opposition, it being urged that in the case of the bears, as in that of the wolves, the farmers needed no inducement to destroy them; that the true way to get rid of the pest was to use the axe in the wilderness, and to promote the building of the Inter-Colonial Railway, and other wise by highways and byways to open up the country. One of the most singular arguments by which the measure was supported was that the white people owed something to the sad remnant of the aboriginal Micmacs and Millicetes who had been gradually exterminated by the progress of civilization, and that the bounty paid to the Indian hunters, though small, was a just contribution to the necessities of an ill-treated and fast diminishing race.
