Great evils sometimes bring great good in their train, and there is reason to hope and believe that the terrible' visitation of cholera, which this autumn desolated the East of London, will pro duce a lasting effect on the arrangements for the metropolitan water supply. The Government have set to? foot an inquiry into the condition of the River Lea, which is the first step, we may hope, to a better state of things. The evidence taken by the Commissioners on Tuesday included that of the engineer to the trustees of the river, the engineer to the East London Waterworks, and the engi neer to the New River Company. On Monday the witnesses were the Secretary of the East London Waterworks, and the engineer-in -chief of the same company. It is only fair to the East London Company to state that they have shown every desire to promote the inquiry, and them selves applied to Government for its institution. A good deal of valuable information was obtained, though there are still some perplexing mysteries. For instance, Mr. GREAVES, the East London engineer, when questioned as to the probable rea son of the outbreak of cholera in the districts supplied by the company, professed himself quite unable to account for it, as the water where the cholera did not appear was the same as where it raged. At the same time Mr. GREAVES did not maintain that the water was immaculate ; on the contrary, he said that he considered it of the utmost importance that jurisdiction should be exer cised at the earliest possible period for the prevention of the discharge of sewage into waters wherever such was likely to take place, and he ad mitted it to be a fact that the sewage of Luton, Hertford, and Norford, got into water which was afterwards used for domestic purposes. It is no guarantee of the purity of the water that there should have been very few complaints respecting it, since it has been abundantly shown that serious im purities may exist in the water without being per ceptible in the smell, taste, or appearance. There is one point in Mr. GREAVES'S evidence on Mon day which, taken in conjunction with the autumnal outbreak of cholera, is of some importance. He stated that he had reservoirs still in exist ence which were originally made as deposit ing reservoirs for water as it came from the river. They were capable of being filled by a sluice connected with the disused canal, which was the company's conduit before 1852, and the water from one of these open reservoirs was drawn upon this year, at what exact time he was uncer tain, but probably in June. Mr. RAwLiNsoN thought this so important that he was anxious to obtain the date of the communication with the open reservoir, the quantity pumped, and the length of time during which it was used, information which was not readily forthcoming. In answer to his inquiries, however, Mr. GREAVES admitted that,the disused conduit was capable of taking water from the Lea at a point lower than the new filtering beds, and lower than the junction of the works that separate the sewage from the upper conduit. The Lea is no inconsiderable river, being navigable from the Thames to Hertford, and with proper care would, no doubt, serve effectually to supply the East of London. Mr. GREAVES declared, on behalf of the company, that they had no objection to the adoption of a constant instead of an inter mittent supply of water, provided they had the proper powers given them ; he thought it would effect a saving of water. Mr. BENRMORE, engineer to the trustees of the river Lea, stated that some of its tributaries were in a disgraceful state, and there was nothing to prevent the pollution of the river above Hertford. It is evident that there has been great neglect in this matter, no one, perhaps, being specially to blame, but a general feeling of " letting well alone" pre vailing. Mr. Mum, engineer to the New River Company, said, indeed, that the company were per fectly ready to adopt the plan of having one large iron tank to supply a court of small houses, so that every 0133 in the poorer parts would have water in his house, but the, landlords would not do it. This is something more than mere insouciance, and is a defect which may very well be remedied by the in terference of Parliament. Surely it would not be difficult to make it compulsory upon every landlord to provide a proper receptacle for water. They are allowed by the law to have every security for their rent ; it is not too much, then, to exact from them what is absolutely indispensable to the health and comfort of their tenants. Another unpleasant piece of information respect ing the London water pipes was obtained from Mr. MUIR, who admitted that in crowded parts, where the gas and water pipes interlaced, there was some times a back draught of gas into the water pipes. This is wholesome and agreeable certainly ! It is very evident that the Commission was much needed, and that the whole question of the water supply wants looking into. Where the companies have not sufficient powers, more must be conferred ; where they fail to fulfil their obligations to the public they must be compelled to do so. Expense, inconvenience, and the interference of the Legislature in matters which 80111 e hold to be beyond their dominion, must be put completely on one side in a matter which so closely affects the vital interests of the population. Simultaneously with the prosecution of this in quiry, the re gistrar-General has appended t o hi s weekly repo r t a supplement on the deaths by cholera, giving defi n iti ve l y the number of deaths in each district to every 10,000 inhabitants, and the water supplied to those districts. There are, as we have said, in referring to the evidence, some singular and apparently ionconsistent facts, re lative to the outb reak of cholera and it s connection with the water suppl y , but that such a connection d oes exist ther e is not the shadow of a doubt. Very staking proof o f this was given by the experience of the South London w hich were undrained and suppli e d with wid en districts, the foul sewage-water of the Thames in 1849- Two companies, the Lambeth an d the Sout hwark, sup_ plied it. One of these companies succeeded in get ting purer water above Teddington Lock prior t o the visitation of 1854, the other only obtained it after that year. This year both are supplying com the shallow paratively wholesome water, while pumps have been dried up by the drains. The re sults are seen in the following fi g ures :--The deaths from cholera to IG,OOO inhabitants of South Loudon were, in the years 1849, 1854, and 1866 respectively, 120, 87, and 8 ! From cholera and diarrhoea out of the same numbers living the deaths were 142, 104, and 15. This is certainly " the inexorable logic of facts," and no ingenuity can explain it away. No doubt the East London Company will use every effort to arrive at equally satisfactory conclusions. Many other causes con tribute to the propagation of cholera, such as over- crowding, bad smells, insufficient drainage, and poor living ; yet the water is evidently a matter of primary importance, and the Registrar does not hesi tate to affirm that the East Loudon water had much to do with the outbreak of 1866. The Company, be says, has pumps at two different stations, one at Lea-bridge, the other at Old Ford, two miles be- Low, where there is a small covered reservoir and two open reservoirs in dangerous proximity to the Lea, at a point where that tidal river is full of foul sewage. The deaths in these parts were very different from those in the rest of London, vary ing from 63 per 10,000 in Bethnal-green to 111 in Stepney. Two sub-districts on the east side of the Lea, supplied with th e same w..ter, suffered in the same proportion. We do ma , y absurd and inconsistent things, but, if looked at in the ab- stract, the absurdity of sending the sewage into a Miss THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 13, 1866. river on the one hand, and drawing a regular supply of water from it on the other, certainly appears to reach the very climax of folly. We can hardly be said to "be wise in time," with all the deaths at the East-end lying at our doors ; but let us see to it that we let no more time elapse, and that the very next session of Parliament establishes some better system with regard to the water sup ply of London. We have now a more complete summary of the draft of the Address that is to be discussed on Saturday next in the Lower House of the Hunga rian Diet, and it fully bears out the good opinion we previously entertained of its style and character. It states that the apprehensions entertained in Hun gary have not been altogether allayed, because the EMPEROR has not promised the Diet that their request for an immediate re-establishment of the Constitu tion will be agreed to. It is well that this should be pressed upon the notice of the Im perial Government, because there is reason to fear any further delay in the settlement of this important matter. As it is very truly set forth in the Address, there is a great danger when the " in ternal affairs of a nation have been unsettled for a long period," and at this juncture especially, when the state of European affairs is so complicated that it is especially undesirable that uncertainty should prevail. We hope that the EMPEROR will realise the force of the argument here met with, that neither the affairs of the Empire nor of Hungary are so com pletely set in order that they can meet all contingencies that may arise with calm ness. Becoming more impressive towards the cpnclusion, the framers of the Address declare that they prefer their requests in the " interest of their own country, of his MAJESTY, of the Dynasty, and of the whole Empire." While we cordially concur in the expressions here made use of, we would as earnestly condemn the course pursued by the Extreme Left of the Lower House, as the mem bers of this perverse party have now resolved to submit to the Diet a separate draught of an Address. Such is a most unwise policy to follow, and it is one which is rendered all the more reprehensible, in consequence of the present state of affairs. We trust that the cautious yet firm measures of M. DEAN and his party will even tually triumph over the factions of the adverse party. It is of great consequence that some satisfactory settlement should be speedily come It is said by the semi-official Provincial Corre spondenz that there is reason to believe that the measures just adopted in Hanover will be a useful warning, and preclude the necessity for the Govern ment resorting to the severe measures which it has been determined to adopt if necessary. That is just what might have been expected from the policy previously pursued by this audacious power, and it forms an undeniable proof of the fallacy of of those assertions which would have had us believe the Berlin Gorernment intended to be as considerate as possible in their dealings with the annexed States. We always doubted this, and subsequent experience has unhappily fulfilled our predictions. It is now definitely decided that the Ministerial Conference will meet in Berlin on the 15th for the purpose of deliberating upon the Constitution of the North German State. 3. It makes very little difference what conclusion is nominally arrived at in these con sultations, because we feel convinced beforehand what the result is certain to be, and all that tends to increase the power and to extend the influence Df Prussia is very much to be deplored on every account. The news which is brought to us by the City of Washington from New York on the Ist chiefly refers to the relations of the United States with Mexico. There is still the same uncertainty about MAXIMILIAN'S abdication, apparently, though there is in reality no room for doubting that he has actu ally abandoned his troublesome and profitless dig nity. He remained, it is said, at Orizaba on the 25th ult., but was exercising no official functions. His baggage had reached Vera Cruz, evidently en route fo: Europe, and reports reached Nev, York three days later to the effect that MAXIMILIAN him self had left Vera Cruz for Havannah, but this was subsequently contradicted. At any rate, the Arch duke's dream of empire in the West is over, and whether he leaves his adopted country a few days sooner or later is matter of little moment. For himself his position deserves our sympathy, since he appears to have given no actual cause for com plaint to the people under his rule. No doubt, however, a better and happier career is yet open to him in Europe, though it may be less dazzling and deceptive in its promises. The Federal Government, according to de spatches received from Washington, are per fectly satisfied of NAPOLEON'S intention to remove the French troops from Mexico. M. de MONTHOLON has given the Cabinet the names of 20 transports about to sail from France to bring home the troops by the end of December. If MAXIMILIAN has actually abandoned the throne there can be little reason for retaining the French troops in Mexico, and the EMPEROR will no doubt be glad, in presence of European complications, to concentrate his troops nearer home. As for Mexico itself matters are still most uncer- SEDGIVICK was said to have occupied Mata moros, and General SHERIDAN advised the Federal Government of the report, whereupon Gen. GRANT telegraphed instructions to General SHERIDAN to depose SEDGWICK, and disavow endorsement by the United States. SHERMAN was to leave tlavannah for Mexico, though for what object is not stated. BAZAINE, it is said, though not very intelli gibly, anticipated no trouble from SHERMAN'S visit." The unsettled condition of affairs in Mexico is likely to give the Federal Government some perplexity. We have little or no internal news from the States themselves, with the exception of the financial report of Secretary APCULLOCH. Whatever may be the condition of the American money market generally the Government has little to complain of, the public debt having been reduced $200,000,000 during the last twelve months. The debt itself amounted ou the Ist inst. to $ 2 , 685 ,000,000, so that at this rate it would be cleared off in little more than thirteen years. Such an achievement might satisfy even American ambition, and would certainly astonish those countries of the Old World who have been groaning under national burdens for successive generations. But to carry out this purpose and relieve the people of the incumbrance domestic peace and prosperity arc necessary, and this fact the Con gress will do well to remember. ;ain. TILE GA3IIN OFl'Anrs.—The little rascal has lived frightfully fast ; his precocity is absolutely startling. At 10 ho looks 15, and talks like 25 ; while his knowledge of all ho ought not to know has attained its maximum. We stand aghast at his self-possession under no-matter-what circumstances, and as we watch his unembarrassed air and steady gait, his matured expression and self-conscious aspect, we mentally admit the melancholy fact, "Il n'y a plus d'enfans !" The gamin is up to everything : he smokes, he drinks, he gambles; but then we must remember, if he indulges in the vices of a man, he is often expected also to exercise the strength and the skill of one. Many a gamin is the soutien de la maison ; a sick father, or a widowed mother and several young sisters, often depend on his earnings for their daily bread : of course it is only bread ; still it is he who gets it for them, and gets it bravely, too. —Once a Week. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Wednesday Evening. The following news is from the bulletin of the Moniteur : " In the absence of his Excellency Prince Met ternich, Count de Mulinen will have charge of the Austrian Embassy as Charge d'Affaires. " We hear from Berlin that the King of Prussia has conferred the Grand Cross of the Black Eagle upon the King and the Prince Royal of Denmark. His Majesty, accompanied by Prince Frederick, went yesterday to a grand hunt at Kosnigswuster hausen, at which were present the Ambassadors of France and England, Count de Bismarck, and Messrs. ltzenplitz and Eulenbourg. " In pursuance of the announcement made a few days ago, the Commissioners of the King of Italy in Venetia ceased their functions on the 10th. Their duties will henceforth be confided to the Prefects." The death is announced of Monseigneur Coqueran, Canon of the order of Bishops of the Imperial Chapter of St. Denis, Chief Almoner of the Fleet, and Grand Officer of the Legion of Honour. The Emperor, on becoming acquainted with the serious disaster at the factory of Roubaix, on the same day sent a telegram announcing that his Majesty would give 5,000 f. for the assistance of the who have been thrown out of employ by the fire. The announcement was received with sentiments of profound gratitude at Roubaix, and with the same promptitude an address of thanks to the Emperor was signed by the Municipal Council and the delegates of the workmen. More than 1,000 workmen have been thrown out of employ ment by this calamity. It is stated from Moscow, under date of the 23d of November, that the telegraphs in correspondence with Moscow had ceased to work in consequence of the wires having been frozen from the sudden change of weather. Telegrams could only reach Moscow through St. Petersburg. The following interesting particulars relative to the Prussian army and its losses during the late campaign are compiled from official documents at Berlin. The army in campaign in June, 1866, amounted to 363,109 men, under the command of 7,091 officers. The army was thus classed— First Army, Second Army, Army of the Elbe, Army of the West. According to 12 lists which bad been compiled, the losses were these : killed, 2,910 men; wounded, 15,551; contusioned, 3,022 men. Calculating by an effective force of 1,000 men, the loss was 8.01 per 1,000 wounded ; 42.83 per 1,000 ; contusioned, 8.32 per 1.000. The losses of officers killed are more than triple those of the soldiers. These figures do not include those who died from cholera and other diseases, but only those who died from their wounds in the hospitals. On the day of the battle of Kosniggratz, the 30th of July, the army suffered in this proportion : officers killed, 75 ; wounded, 249 ; contusioned, 3 ; soldiers killed, 1,097; wounded, 6,455 ; contusioned, 1,817. Besides the soldiers thus enumerated, the Prussians had in the depots, fortresses, and in re serve, about 230,000 men. The Prussian forces therefore amounted to 600,000 men. The Court of Assize at Niort has found Marti❑ Reau guilty of the poisonings with which he was charged, but, strange to say, the jury have dis covered " extenuating circumstances" in his case, so his sentence is hard labour for life. The reasons which induced a French jury to append this saving clause to their verdict do not transpire, but it is difficult to conceive what extenuation there can be for crimes like these. It appears that there are many contradictions in the telegraphic account sent to the newspapers of the allocution of the Pope to the French officers on the occasion of their leaving Rome. In reference to these inaccuracies the Siecle says :—" We shall not publish this document until there is some accord in the text." A letter from Bohemia says :—" The vote of the second Chamber in favour of the Deak proposition is entirely approved by the majority of the popula tion of the capital. 'The considerations which have ex..reised their influence upon the Deputies occupy every mind. The want of a good understanding with the Government is felt. Concessions are made because all see the necessity of the existence of Austria for Hungary." The other day I gave the particulars of an extra ordinary chango in the colour of the hair. A letter from Latour-du-Pin (Isere) states that a curious phenomenon has been witnessed in that commune. NI. Thevenet, a gentleman of 70, whose hair was grey, on getting up a few mornings ago was very much surprised to see that his hair during the night had become black, like that of a young man. It had become of the same colour as in his youth. His family at first thought that his hair had been dyed, but this was not the case. Al. Thevenet suffers from a diabetic affection, and this disease, as some French medical men assert, affects the or dinary secretions. The doctors of Latour-du-Pin ascribe the phenomenon to this cause. Some reports sent to the police respecting a ,ragical affair in the Rue de Charonne have led to the trace of a double crime. It appears that in 1862 there were frequent altercations between a man named Cerceuil and his wife. The husband had discovered that his wife was too intimate with a young workman named Adolphe. The former died - a few months ago, and his wife, at her husband's death, went immediately to live with Adolphe in the Rue de Charonne. They lived together about three years. On the 15th of October last Adolphe disappeared. The door of his lodging was broken open and the dead body was found upon the floor near three little vessels for burning charcoal. The widow Cerceuil returned home while the police were pursuing their researches. When questioned about the death of Adolphe, she trembled, and replied that three days before she found him suffocated, but as she was afraid to say anything, she had slept beside the corpse until it was nearly in a state of decomposition. It has since been discovered that Adolphe had another mistress, and the woman Cer ceuil is supposed to have suffocated him with the charcoal when he returned home drunk. Not only did jealousy prompt the woman to this crime, but there are reasons to believe that she poisoned her husband in order that she might live quietly with Adolphe. In spite of the many improvements effected of late in Paris, it appears that of the 57,000 houses which the city now contains there are about 35,000 which are destitute of any supply of water. Indeed it is only within a very few years that water has been introduced into the houses in Paris at all, it being generally brought by water-carriers, an industry which occupies many thousand persons. The weather has a ga i n b ecome stormy. The wind was very violent last n i g ht , acc ompanied by heavy rain. The rain has continued to-day. The Fenian Movement. DUBLIN, Wednesday Night. This morning two persons, na mes unknown, were arrestel by detectives on board the steamer which arrived from Liverpool. A respectably-dressed young man, named O'Keefe, was arrested to-day when at breakfast at an hotel on Ormond-quay.

A Royal decree has been published ordering the railway works of the Victor Emmanuel Company to be carried on by the State until the end of March, 1867, this company having declared its inability to continue the works. The Government will expend 18 millon lire for the works, and will obtain this amount by the issue on account of the company of Consolidated Rentes and Treasury Bonds. The payments to be made in cash to the Pontifical Government will fall due on the 15th of March. The funds have already been deposited in Paris. The Opinione of to-day contradicts the rumour that the mission of General Fleury refers to any other matter than the Roman question, and that he came to Florence to effect an understanding between France and Italy, in view of certain foreign com plications.

The Venezuelan Minister for Foreign Affairs has addressed a circular to the consuls of that Republic abroad, in which he gives an account of the manner in which the steamer Bolivar stole out of the port of Laguayra. It appears that on the 13th October that vessel arrived from London, where it had been purchased on the 31st of January, for the Venezuelan navy. The Government of the Republic had forwarded the necessary papers, and the Bolivar was sent out under English officers and sailors, with a Venezue lan register. The contract, however, made by the Venezuelan Consul in London could not be ratified by his Government, as, among other things objec tionable, it stipulated that the Captain, John Fock, should not serve under any other official, unless he were an Englishman of superior rank to his own ; also that in case any transfer or division of the officers or crew were made the Englishmen should not amount to less than one-half of the body into which they might be merged. The captain was informed that, according to the Vene zuelan constitution, the sanction of the national Legislature was necessary for the admission of foreigners into the service, and that the only way to get out of the difficulty was for the party to become naturalized citizens. In case they would determine to remain British subjects, the authorities would pay them off and bear their expenses until they could reach home. To this the captain agreed, stating that he did not see how the Venezuelan Government could do otherwise ; but that as to the crew and others he wished to consult with them. Thereupon he started from Caracas for Laguayra, for the purpose of con sulting with the rest of the party, and on returning presented terms of settlement which the Govern ment would not accept. Admiral Benjamin Arriens, commanding the squadron, was ordered to take pos session of the vessel. After he had done so, and gone on shore, Capt. Fock proposed as the best way of settling amicably with the crew that he should go aboard alone and offer them the balance of their pay, &c. As all along he had entered into the views of the Government his proposal was accepted ; he went on board, and during the night the vessel put to sea, leaving the Venezuelan crew that Arriens had put on board in a small boat wituout either oars or sails. They managed to save themselves by attracting the attention of a fishing smack, which landed them at Laguayra about one o'clock in the morning. The Bolivar is described as a twin screw steamer of 829 tons burden, and has two engines, 250 horse power. Her length is 226 ft., beam 27ft., depth 20ft. sin., draught 9ft. to 10ft. She carries two steel rifled guns, 70 pounders, two 24 pounders, 100 rifled carbines, 100 braces of pistols, and other small arms. She is fitted out as to batteries on the Symoud's system. Her standing rigging is all of galvanised iron, CHATHAM ; Wednesday. The screw war steamer Bolivar, which was al leged to have been fitted for service in South Ame rica when seized by order of the Government, under the circumstances already detailed, still remains in charge of the officials, with a strong guard of Royal Marines, under the command of au officer on board, to prevent her leaving the river, and to allow no unauthorised persons to have any communication with her. A minute search of the vessel made yesterday, by order of the Government, failed to discover any official papers or documents which would bear out the statement of those on board that she was intended for service in Siuth America when her seizure was ordered. As alrealy stated she was without colours of any kind, and no descrip tion of flag has been discovered on board. Since her arrival in the Medway from the river Tyne, and before the order was sent down from the Govern ment for her seizure to be made, she shipped 32 barrels of gunpowder, together with an unusually large quantity of warlike stores, consisting of revol vers, rifles, bayonets, swords, &c., some of which were stated to have been put on board in the Tyne before she left Shields. The Bolivar earrie3 an arlill ment of two 40-pouuder and two 20-pounder wrought iron rifled guns, Blakeley pattern, but she is pierced to mount an additional number of guns at her broadside. The crew on board at the time she was seized consisted of eight stokers and firemen, four able seamen, and two ordinary seamen, to gether with three officers, who describe themselves as " lieutenants," and two engineers. The re mainder of the crew was intended to be shipped from this port on the arrival of the steamer in the Medway. The hands on board state that they joined the vessel at North Shields, from which port they sailed on Wednesday last ; that they were never called on to sign articles, and that they were in entire ignorance of the character of the vessel. On going on board, they state they were informed that the Bolivar was intended to pro ceed on a cruise along the north-west coast of Ame rica, and in the North Pacific, and that she was to be employed in putting down smuggling and piracy. They were also informed that it was probable they might have to do " a little fighting." During yes terday afternoon a gentleman, who stated his name to be Henry Little, arrived on board, and informed those in charge of the ship that he had been ap pointed captain of her. He was at once referred to Admiral Sir Baldwin Walker, commander-in-chief, to whom he stated that the Bolivar was one of three iron steamers built in this country, under the sanc tion of the late Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, for one of the Governments of South America, what purported to be an official document to that effect being at the same time produced to Sir B. Walker. Two of the ships had already left this country for South America, and the Bolivar was about follow ing them, when she was detained by the Govern ment. During the time Capt. Little was on board he produced a flag, believed to be the Peruvian colours, he had brought with him, and this was hoisted at the masthead for a short time. This morning Capt. Little proceeded to London for the purpose, as he stated, of consulting with the Minis ter of the country to which the vessel was ostensibly proceeding when she was detained. The first officer, who left the vessel at the time she was seized, ha s returned on board. The Bolivar has been removed up the harbour, and is lying moored near Black stakes, her Majesty's steamer Lizard also lying near her to prevent her leaving the river. The river police are also on duty near her to allow of nothing being removed from the ship. LATEST PARTICULARS. The ship Bolivar, about which such alarming statements have been made relative to hev being for the Fenian service, has been released from custody, the Government being satisfied with the ac counts submitted to them. SEIZURE OP TIIE WAR STEAMER BOLIVAR. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—With the view of allaying any unnecessary sensational excitement of the public mind as to the Bolivar (just seized in the Medway) being " a Fenian privateer," I desire to state that I fitted out the vessel in question for the Government, of the United States of Columbia. The national flag, accidentally overlooked with a few other things in sending down the stores which I supplied, was sub sequently taken from my warehouse by Capt. Little, the steamer's duly commissioned commander, and doubtless would have been hoisted on his arrival on board, had not the vessel's seizure taken place in the interim. The stowing of shells beneath coals (constructed into an act of concealment) is simply following the usual practice of placing the heaviest portion of a ship's freight at the bottom of her hold ; a course which, in this instance, was even more necessary, as the coals would have to be consumed on the Bolivar's voyage out to Panama.—l am, &c., R.

Prime Scots, crosses, ke., were held at Monday's currency, but inferior breeds were quite 2d. per 81bs lower to sell. The show of sheep was only moderate ; nevertheless, sales progressed slowly, and prices had a drooping tendency. Th o extreme quota tion was 6s. 2d. per 81bs.

The market opens steady. bales. Sales about 12,000 FIRE A'f CLERKENWELL.—Last night a fire took place at Cobham's Head Tavern, situate in Coppice-row, facing Exmouth-street, and near the House of Correction. The premises, it appears, had been closed for some time, a new tenant having taken it for the purpose of opening on Saturday night next with a new stock for the Christmas festivities. Men had been employed for some weeks in painting, redecorating, and embellishing the place prior to the opening. The spirits, beer, and cordials had been laid in. Fortunately all parties in the building escaped unhurt. Shortly after the engines had been set to work the walls were blown down amongst the firemen, who narrowly escaped injury. Tho tavern and the whole of its contents were totally destroyed. The origin of the fire is unknown. SMALL AND SWEET.—An old bachelor being laughed at by a party of pretty girls, told them, "You are 'small potatoes.' " "We may be small potatoes," cried oue of thew, "but we aro owed vues.' Over,-nd, Gurney, and Co. (Limited). The committee of supervisor of the above com pany yesterday issued the following to the share holders and depositors : " Gentlemen,—lt has been our wish for some time past to communicate with you on the subject of thr duties committed to our charge, feeling that you may. have naturally looked for some intelligence and guidance at our hauls. We have hitherto abstained from addressing you, owing to the many questions which have been raised and which are familiar to all, and to the many and serious obstacles which have been interposed to the progress of the liquidation. For ourselves we have considered our duty clear. A liquidation of the company having been directed by the shareholders and or d ere d b y t h e court, which liquidation we were appointed to supervise, we have deemed it our duty to assist it/ as far as has been in our power. It should, how ever, be clearly understood by both the shareholders and creditors, that while this d...ty was imposed no real power was at the same time conferred upon us' This, no doubt, could not be otherwise ; but the consequence has been that our ability to promote the interests of the shareholders and credi tors has been limited within narrow bounds. So far, however, as it has been permitted us to do we have , to the best of our ability, watched over the interests committed to us ; and we have devoted much of our time and attention to the many important and anxious considerations which those duties have in volved. That the liquidation has in the meantime been progressing will, we think, be apparent from the fact that the liabilities of the company, which at the time of the stoppage exceeded 19 millions, have been reduced to about five millions, and that assets to the extent of nearly 11 millions, unfortunately bearing no interest, are now only awaiting distri bution. It should also be satisfactory to the share holders to know, and it is perhaps only justice to the partners in the late firm of Overend, Gurney , and Co. to state, that so far as the realisation of th e landed estates has proceeded, more than the amount at which they were originally estimated has been realised. Events, however, have occurred which, in our judgment, make it imperative that we should call your attention to the present position of affairs' A section of the shareholders have felt justified 10 endeavouring to f ree th emse l ves from the liability attaching to their position, and, as you know, ar e now prosecuting that line of action. This step is acting in a manner deeply prejudicial to the realisa tion of the estate in point of multiplied expenses) which threaten to be enormous—in the indefinite de lay which it interposes to any settlement with the creditors, which tells with great force against the company in point of interest—and in imperil' ling the recovery of calls which, obtainable at the present moment, may, by indefinite delay, perhaps be wholly lost. With regard to this action by 3 section of the shareholders, it is not for us to con demn a course which they feel themselves justified in adopting, but it is not the less proper for us to point out how disastrous such proceedings must be to the liquidation. We believe that but for these proceedings it would have been possible not only to have paid the creditors the intended dividend of 2s. 6d., but before the end of the year a dividend of ss. Bd. in the pound upon their claims, with the pros pect of a further pay men t a t no di stant date. M . is, however, in view of these proceedings—the ex' pense and delay attendant on which may, by ap peals, be greatly prolonged—the date at which a re duction of the company's liabilities will be effected must be still longer postponed. The distress to many depositors which is thus occasioned is, no doubt, very considerable, but it is hardly the least evil ; the sore burden of the shareholders seems likely, from the causes we have pointed out, to be greatly aggravated, and it is not to be forgotten that the liquidators have still the power of calling up 3 further amount of £25 per share, to the exercise of which, they may, in the result, be driven by r eason of the very proceedings to which we have alluded. So long as a considerable body of the shareholder s entertain the conviction that the action which they are pursuing is likely to end in relieving them frau ., all liability, and so l ong as th ey f ee l ent i t l e d to avail themselves of the right so to relieve themselves, we are not hopeful that any representations of ours Wil l have much practical effect ; but we are not the less convinced that it is our duty to bring these eonside" rations before them, and to point out the results to which they tend. lf, which at present we fear is hopeless, the shareholders could all confer iu feeling that they have a just though a heavy debt to dis charge, and„,would unite in an effort to effect this, we believe the present would not be an unfavour able time for arriving at some arrangement w l t h the creditors, which, based upon mutual conces sions, might have a speedy result. We cannot but feel that the time for cordial co-operation be tween the depositors and the shareholders is now, and that by such co-operation, the creditors on th e one hand, if willing to make concessions, may oh" Lan a speedy settlement of their claims, and th e shareholders, on the other hand, may reap the benefit of such concessions, and, above all, may avert th e i uinous wasting of assets whi c h l aw an d d e lay certainly entail. Whether such a result can be ac complished depends upon the spirit in which such negotiation is approached on both sides ; from each forbearance and concession are required; w ith these we do not despair of an e ar ly w i n d- u p o f th e se di" astrous affairs, and wheth er it can or cann ot be effected, we, for ourselves, are s a ti s fi e d th a t our duty, both to the shareh o ld ers an d cre di tors, i s best performed by presenting these considerations t° them and by endeavouring to bring about such result.—We are, your obedient servants, " HENRY KINGSCOTE.
