This Company is formed for the purpose of purchasing the business of the old-established and well-known private Bank of Messrs. I. Barned and Co. in Liverpool, and organ ising it on the broader basis of a joint-stock company, under the Limited Liability Act. The Bank, which was founded in 1809, has done a large and continually-increasing business, and there is no doubt that in its new and extended form still more satisfactory results will be realised. The Directors have received most encouraging promises of support, both in Liverpool and London ; but, in making the allotment of shares, preference will be given to the present customers of the Bank. The purchase money for the business has been fixed at £160,000, payable by instalments spread over two years, as stipulated in the agreement; and this sum, on comparing it with the profits shown by Messrs. I. Barned and Co. to have been realised, and their guarantee of the assets taken over, cannot be considered other than a moderate payment for a lucrative business placed at once in the hands of the shareholders. The Bank will take over the business of Messrs. I. Barned an I Co. as from the Ist of July, 1865, and Messrs. I. Barned and Co. will guarantee the payment of all debit balances (including bills and credits running) standing in their books on that day. The business will have the advantage of the active super vision of the present partners in the Bank, who have agreed to act as Directors for five years, and will retain a large interest in the Company. Messrs. I Mimed and Co. are willing to sell at a valua tion the present Bank premises, and any of their adjoining property, if the directors wish to secure it, and, if required, to leave the purchase money on mortgage for ten years at 41- per cent. The remuneration of the ordinary Directors is to be fixed by the shareholders at their annual meetings, but power is taken in the articles of association to appoint one or more of their number as Managing Directors, whose extra re muneration will be determined by the Board. Copies of the Company's memorandum and articles of association, and of the agreement for the transfer of Messrs. I. Barned and Co.'s business, can be seen at the offices of the solicitors of the Company. Application for shares must be accompanied by a pay ment of the deposit of £1 per share. In the event of no allotment being made the deposit will be returned in full. Should a less number of shares be allotted than are applied for, the deposit will, so far as required, be applied towards the payment due on allotment. Applications for shares will be received at the bankers, brokers, solicitors', offices of the Company, and at the following places: — England—Manchester: Messrs. Cunliffes, Brooks, and Co. „ Leeds : The Yorkshire Banking Company. „ Birmingham: The Birmingham Banking Com pany. Bristol : Messrs. Baillie, Cave, Baillie, and Co.

The Marquis of WESTMEATH moved the second read ing of the Divine Worship in the Church of England Bill ; but, subsequently, at the request of the Earl of Derby and Earl Granville, who pointed out that the measure was of such importance in respect of the changes it proposed to introduce that it could not be considered in the present session, consented to its withdrawal. The order was there upon discharged. The Poor-law Board Continuance Bill was read a second time, after an observation by the Earl of ELLENBOROUGH, to the effect that it would be better to make the board per manent at once than to bring in repeated continuance bills, without a word of explanation as to what were the ultimate intentions of the Government on the subject. On the order for going into committee on the Peace Pre servation (Ireland) Act Amendment Bill, Earl GRANVILLE stated, in reply to the Marquis of Clanricarde, that the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland had adopted precautions against the occurrence of any outrage on the coming 12th of July. The Earl of DONOUGHMORE did not oppose the bill, and expressed regret that the state of Ireland was such as to render this measure necessary. The Earl ST. GERMANS concurred in the expression of regret, and said it had been found impossible, although crime had materially decreased in Ireland for the last fourteen years, to deprive the Lord-Lieutenant of the power which this measure afforded him of proclaiming certain districts in which outrages were committed. Several bills were forwarded a stage, including the Ap propriation Bill (read a second time) and the Greenwich Hospital Bill, the Fire Brigade (Metropolis) Bill, the Comptroller of Exchequer and Public Audit Bill, the In land Revenue Bill. the Indemnity Bill, and the Compound Spirits Warehousing Bill (passed through committee). Their lordships adjourned at half-past seven until four o'clock this tion should be resorted to, and recommended that the military finance committee should be revived and a rigid examination instituted into the number of European troops that were really required without too great a strain upon recruiting in the United Kingdom. Only two things were requisite to insure the continuous and permanent prospe rity of India. These were to respect the systems found existing there, without endeavouring to carry out theories of our own, and next to leave the religion of the natives entirely uninterfered with. Mr. VANSIT TART regretted that the Indian Minister had taken upon himself to reverse Sir Charles Trevelyan's arrangements, especially as they had received the approval of Sir John Lawrence and his council. The Government had no alternative but to give up the income tax, as when it was imposed by the late Mr. Wilson he gave a solemn assurance that it should not be continued for more than five years. Mr. BUXTON considered that the European force main tained in India was excessive, regard being had to the fact that the artillery and the chief strong places of defence had been taken altogether out of the hands of the native troops. Mr. BAZLEY commented generally upon the unneces sary expense incurred in the government of India, espe cially the cost of collecting the revenue, which he said amounted to 25 per cent. of the entire receipts.

EWART, the debate, which had been carried on throughout the greater portion of it in a house of half-a-dozen members, was brought to a close with some brief observations from Sir C. WOOD, and the resolutions were agreed to. The Admiralty Acts repeal Bill, the Dockyard Ports Regulation Bill, and the Admiralty Powers Bill passed through committee. HOUSE OF COMMONS-LAST EVENING.. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. ROYAL ASSENT. The SPEAKER, in obedience to the summons of tire House of Peers, went to the bar of their lordships' house to hear the royal assent given to a number of public-.and private bills. PRIVATE BUSINESS.

INDIA MEDICAL WARRANT. Mr. BAZLEY asked the Secretary of State for India whether it was true, as stated in the United Service Gazette and Home News, that the Indian medical warrant had been cancelled ; if such be the case, what measures had - been taken as regarded the pay and organisation of the medical department, and when would . those measures be reported to the house ? Sir C. WOOD said the warrant had not been cancelled. On the contrary, it had given great satisfaction in India, and still remained in force. r . BRITISH-GROWN TOBACCO. Mr. seuLLy asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whetheat was not practicable; to devise some convenient mode of levying a duty upon home-grown tobacco, so as to permit - its profitable cultivation in those countries with out loss to the imperial revenue. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that with every desire to extend the sphere of employment lu this country, and after giving the utmost attention to the matter, the difficulties in the way of the growth of tobacco in England had been found, at ail events up to the present moment, insurmountable. He did not think under the present circumstances it would be possible, although he candidly declared it would be - a source of satisfaction to him if it could. LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES. Mr. CRAWFORD asked the President of the Board of Trade whether it was true that a Charter of Incorporation had been granted. by the Crown to the " British India and Colonial Trust and Agency Corporation, Limited;" and, if so, if he would state the grounds on which such charter was granted to a company constituted under the provisions of the " Limited Liability Act ;" and whether he would consent to lay the correspondence in the particular case in question upon the table of the house. Mr. M. GIBSON, in reply, said the Crown had not been advised to grant a charter of incorporation to the company referred to. With respect to the correspondence connected with the matter, there would be no objection to its pro duction. THE INDIAN OFFICERS' GRIEVANCE. Colonel SYKES asked the Secretary of State for India whether the Royal Commission to inquire into the griev ances of Indian officers had been appointed ; the names of the commissioners ; when the commission was likely to commence its labours ; and whether the 717 petitions pre sented to the House of Commons could be brought to the consideration of the commission ? Sir C. WOOD said he hoped he should have been en abled to have appointed this committee sooner, but great difficulty had been experienced in obtaining a chairman. That had been effected last week, and the commission had been signed on Monday. The names would appear in the Gazette to morrow, and after that the sittings would immediately commence. IRISH RAILWAYS. Mr. MONSELL asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the evidence taken by the Railway Commissioners on the Irish railway system would be laid before the house before the end of the session. INDIA. The house adjoVrned at nine o'clock, until the usual hour this day. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Sir C. WOOD made his annual exposition of the financial affairs of India. After tracing the progress of revenue and expenditure during the last three years, and noting the differences between the actual and ordinary estimates, he observed that the gradual and steady improvement in the income clearly proved the advance of general prosperity from one end of the country to the other. On the other hand, the charge had gone on increasing, especially for the army, owing to the increased price of provisions, the half batta, the Bhootan war, and the augmented pay to medical officers. There had also been a large increased outlay for public works, law and justice, education and superannua tions. Now although a considerable portion of the increase could not be prevented, and seemed to be justified by the extraordinary and satisfactory increase in the revenue year after year, nevertheless he urged that it was neces sary that the strictest economy should be enforced ; for upon that depended the safety of the finances of India. Referring to the important subject of the encouragement given to public works, Sir Charles stated that he believed the people of India were ready to expend any amount of money in that direction ; and he himself was prepared to borrow money for the purpose whenever they supplied him with any well-digested plan for the execution of really necessary and useful works, but he certainly would not go hand over head, and raise loans for every project that was started. During the last six years there had been an enor mous expenditure on this account ; namely, out of public funds X 30,000,000, and from local funds X 4,500,000 ; whilst there had been expended for railways X 38,500,000, making a total for the six years of £73,000,000. Taking the last two years only, the outlay for the same object was from public funds upwards of X 11,000,000, and from local funds upwards of £2,000,000 —together X 13,200,000, and that exclusive of the railroads constructed. With regard to the cultivation of cotton in India, the increased price and the measures adopted to stimulate this branch of industry had been attended with great success; and he was informed that capitalists at Bombay were introducing at the various railway stations establishments and machinery for cleaning, pressing, and packing cotton, and to a certain extent weaving a class of goods that would not compete with English manufactures, but displace the wasteful process of hand-loom weaving, and so divert the persons so employed to useful agricultural pursuits and the culture of the cotton plant. The right hon. gentleman also adverted to the questions lately in dispute with the talookdars of Oude, and stated that the rights of this class of proprietors had been established; that a very good feeling existed be tween them and the ryots, and that there had been no necessity for appealing to a judicial decision. After stating the present position of the Bhootanese difficulty, the right honourable gentleman moved a series of reso lutions setting forth that the total net revenues of the several presidencies for the year ended the 30th day of April, 1864, amounted to X 35,636,898, and the charges thereof to X 26,018,388, leaving a surplus revenue of X 9,618,510. That the interest on the registered debt of India, paid in the same period, amounted to X 8,093,250, and the charges defrayed in England, on account of the Indian territory, including interest on debt incurred in England and guaranteed interest on the capital of railway andother companies, after deducting net traffic receipts of railways, by Mr. H. Seymour, whether so large an army of ''''':'-' Europeans is still required in India. : Between . .-, - i seventy and eighty thousand men make a great a:- . '::`, drain on the population of England as well as On the resources of India. The permanent' mainten ance of such an army presents no hopeful prospect for either country. HER ALD.--The Americans of the North are boast ing that they have set free the negro. We are waiting for some evidence, however, to show that the African black has regarded those human rights which are denied to the captive statesmen and sol diers of the South. But the patience of the world, it seems, must be tested for a long time before the dark race is actually admitted, at IVashington or New York, to an ostensible equality with the patriots of the Broadway. Now, indeed, the ques tion is, whether Uncle Tom shall have a vote. A. thousand journals, it is asserted by disputants on both sides, are urging that point as though it involved the whole future of the commonwealth. But it is a remarkable fact that the very men who have been blustering about emancipation as their policy, and equality as its natural results, are in dignant with the negrees of Tennessee for daring to memorialise the State Legislature and insist upon the suffrage for themselves. Tennessee, perhaps, may accord them the privilege. Its governor does a little trade in popularity, on his own account, by advocating their claims, though he does so upon the ground that they would neutralise the influence of the disloyal whites ? But what of Andrew Johnson, the illustrious predecessor of Parson Brownlow ? He waits for the advice of Congress—he dreads the " nigger" doctrine—he leaves Judge Chase to exalt black audiences with the belief that they are the salt of the earth ; he allows the ebony people to be free, but doubts their capacity to exercise a constitu tional franchise? Well, what will Cuffee do ? Will he appreciate his new masters? He is " a man and a brother ;" but is he to be a " fellow-citizen?" Clearly, he may be designated " a man," and hailed from a distance as " a brother ;" yet where is the public conveyance which will carry him uninsulted ? Where is the steamboat on the deck of which he is ille-23.44 ,1 -Qt. iw,......21g31,*---Paamengers?. Where ems- the Yankee - labwartrs *Bo will work where he is employed? It is hardly time as yet to discuss his political Magna - Charta in u the home of the set-- ~ ting sun." That may be done after his liberators have determined whether he shall remain an outcast, outlaw, and leper, or be transported to the moral de solation of Liberia, where a little amateur African languishes, ill calculated to fulfil the sublime hopes of Bolingbroke for the professors of "Talkee-talkee, or the negro language." "We desire to vote at elections," ejaculate the Nigritian patriots of Ten nessee. " Keep your sonorous nonsense to your selves," rejoin their emancipators, " and do not bring your Dutch, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Hottentot, and Mumbo-Jumbo dialects to the poll ing booths of a civilised republic, the greatest on. the earth." It is interesting from many points of view to watch the progress of this controversy i but one fact is palpable that the hatred of the North TlMES.—There is no more striking example of the American for the negro is more intense and more tendencies of the House of Commons than its man- regret that he and is species cannot be pitiless than ever.

Members of Parliament will listen to exactly for revenge and the punishment of unarmed oppo the things that the public will read about. Anything vents captured in a spirit of treason after solemn relating to domestic legislation or enterprise, any local -squabble or personal scandal, will make a guarantee of safety. When the blood for which house, and even a full one, but people do not care to they pant has been shed they will have the negro to deal with, and what will they do with him ? The undergo the exertion requisite to master details con nected with a distant and still comparatively un- doctrine of miscegenation, by which so many of our contemporaries were befooled, was, as we have ex known land. This year the usual influences were made more intense by the imminence of edissolu- plained, no more than an impudent, although inge st.tion, and Sir Charles Wood, who, in spite of indis- p ious je Already we witness the abhorrence with which American society in the Federal States looks ' position, made a long and valuable statement, spoke forward to the necessity of carrying out in practice to a thin house, which subsequently dwindled down to literally empty benches. Yet there has hardly the principles proclaimed, though never sincerely, during the epoch of the civil war. " What is to be ever been a time when it was more necessary that come of Mungo ?" inquire the chilled philanthropists, the British Parliament should try to pay some at- lately so fervent, of New York. But Mungo answers tention to India. The feeling seems to be that this for himsel f and demands his vote as a free citizen , country performs all its duties when able o ffi cials are appointed to the highest posts in the East ; that of the United States, which are thus invited to draw from the deep sources of human genius at Surinam, the House of Commons, at any rate, cannot do C on go and Old Calabar for the future elements of better than leave such matters to Government, const i tution. their-' Which has always placed Indian politics apart from The' dilemma is awkward, but party consideration, and done its utmost to select must be said that they have brought it r.iport it t hemselves -and must mit - be' astonished when the the best men and encourage the best measures.

And this after is, for the improvement of the courts of justice four years of a war for liberty—aLer a crusade for throughout the country), £143,000 for education, for the assertion of negro right ! • and £270,000 for superannuation. Thus it will be seen that the items in the Indian Budget are grow ing like our own Civil Service Estimates, and Sir C. Wood reminded the House that as they were charges for the improved administration of the country, it was impossible to expect anything but a steady and gradual increase. "It is indispensable," he said, " to improve public works, and most desirable to aid education and make better provision for the ad ministration of justice." Very true ; but these things are not accomplished without an increase of outlay with which even an advancing country cannot always keep up. This may be seen in the present case, for though India has been selling its cotton and absorb ing our silver on an unusual scale the revenue no longer equals the expenditure. There is a deficit, and one with which it has proved not very easy to deal. We need say nothing of the year 1863-4, the small amount of the surplus in which, compared with the year before, is attributed to the diminution in the opium returns. But in the last year there was an absolute deficiency. " According to the Budget estimates there would be a surplus of £823,000, but according to the regular estimates there was a deficit of £263,000, the calculations being, in fact, worse than the reality by £1,086.000." Yet the revenue was better than was estimated. The Budget estimate was £46,163,000 ; the regular estimate £46,284,000, giving an increase of £120,000. The Budget for next year has to be framed with due consideration for the influences which are here at work. It is evident from Sir C. 'Wood's statement that especial care must now be taken to balance national ac counts which are equal in importance to those of great European Kingdoms. The history of the removal of the Income-tax shows what influences may be brought to bear upon statesmen in India, and how suddenly they may act. The result of the calculations in india and at home is that the revenue for next year will be £46,548,000. The actual ex penditure in India, excluding interest on railways, was, in 1862-3, £36,800,000 ; and in the Budget of 1865-66 it was estimated at £4o,4B7,ooo—being an increase of £3,687,00 0 , of which £1,000,000 is due to the army. With respect to this last item we think there is some reason for the questicin asked GLORIOUS REBELS.—There is a very unnecessary irritability in some minds with respect to the word rebel. How any Virginian can share this sensitiveness we cannot imagine. The annals of the Old Dominion are the biographies of rebels. She cherishes few memories save those of rebels. She has never raised a monument except to a rebel. She names her counties and her colleges after rebels. Her seal is a victorious rebel. Her flag reproduces on a larger scale the triumphant rebel. A rebel lies within the hallowed bounds of Mount Vernon. A rebel looks down on her noblest public work from Monticello. A rebel in enduring bronze keeps watch and ward over her capital, and none but rebels are thought worthy to line the pedes• tal of the rebel's statue. Does it become her to blush at the name of rebel ?—Petersburg News. Is A PRINTED PLACARD AN OBSTRUCTION?—. A somewhat novelquestion came before Mr. George and Mr. Croft at the Leeds Town-hall on Wednesday. Edward Sheldon, the well-known bill poster, was sum moned on an information charging:him with " unlawfully obstructing the free passage of the highway"—the alleged offence consisting in his having on Sunday, the 4th inst., posted upon the thoroughfare in Briggate an enormous placard 25 yards in length, announcing the performance of " Adah Isaacs Menken as Mazeppa." The facts were ad nutted, but on the part of the defendant, Mr. Ferns con tended that to paste a piece of paper upon a highway was no obstruction to the free passage of the public, either in law or fact. They might as well say that a fly would ob struct a railway engine. (Laughter.) The Chief Con stable said the bill in question was posted down nearly the entire length of Briggate, and horses in carriages, convey ing people to church, shied at it. Mr. Ferns said his at tention was directed to the placard, but the soberminded animal that did him the honour of drawing Him and his family to church was not in the slightest degree affected. (Laughter.) In reply to the magistrates, Mr. Barr ex pressed the opinion that posting placards on the thorough fare was an offence of some kind, buthe doubted very much whether it was an obstruction. Mr. George—The Highway surveyors have a right to prevent it. Mr. kerns--It won't occur again so far as Sheldon is concerned.
