Charles Laffitte and Co., of Rue Besse du Rempart, Paris, to this country and elsewhere, by converting it into a Joint-Stock undertaking, on the principle of limited liability, and thereby to afford the com mercial community and general public facilities for trans acting their Foreign Banking and Financial operations through an establishment having its centre in London, and possessing the advantage of a name well known and accredited throughout Europe, together with a thoroughly organised, most extensive, and influential connexion. The business of the Company will be similar in character to that hitherto carried on by Messrs. C. Laffitte and Co., and other great foreign banking-houses, viz., a combination of banking business, financial agency, and general mer cantile monetary affairs, with the advantage of increased resources and a more extended field of operations. An arrangement has been concluded with Messrs. Charles Laffitte and Co. for the purchase of their business, for the sum of £150,000, which amount has been arrived at upon a moderate computation of its value, based upon a statement of the profits actually realised during a series of years. Two-thirds of the purchase-money will be taken in Shares, on which £lO per Share will be credited as paid-up ; and Mr. Charles Laffitte will continue his connection with the undertaking in the capacity of Chairman of the Company, and will give it all the advantage of his influence and experience. Negotiations are pending for incorporating with this Company other banking, financial, and commercial estab lishments, for the purpose of extending the sphere of its operations, and of affording to the establishments alluded to the opportunity of consolidating their business, and of reducing the existing liability of their shareholders. In case no allotment is made, the money deposited on application for Shares will be returned in full. Forms of Application for Shares and every information can be obtained of the Bankers, Brokers, and Solicitors, or at the Offices of the Company, where copies of the Memo randum and Articles of Association, and of the Agreement with Messrs. Charles Laffitte and Co, may be seen. December 9th, 1865. CHARLES LAFFITTE AND CO., LIMITED. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES. (To be retained by the Bankers.)

SIR MORTON PETO AND HIS CONSTITUENTS. —The members of the Bristol Reform Union recently met, and passed a resolution expressing dissent from Sir Mor ton Peto's suggested proposals respecting inquiry before legislation on Reform. The resolution having been for warded to the hon. baronet, ho has replied in a letter to the secretary °lithe union, in which he states that he has been seriously misunderstood, and that nothing was further from his desire and intentions than to delay the passing of a Reform Bill even for ono hour. lie explains that ho was only anxious to secure the defeat or indefinite postpone ment of legislation by giving the enemies of Reform an excuse for asserting that sufficient information to warrant legislative action bee not exist. American Financial and Commercial. The following commercial intelligence is taken from the New York Shipping and Commercial List of Dec. 2 : " The movement in trade continues slow, though the growing ease in the money-market has stimulated rather more inquiry for merchandise ; so that the volume of busi ness for the last three days shows some improvement over that for the three days immediately preceding. While the speculative inquiry for certain commodities continue; we notice a more general demand for merchandise, both im ported and domestic. As a general thing, however, domestic produce is rather lower, while prices for foreign are gene rally pretty well sustained. " In answer to the remonstrances of the managers of the New York Savings-banks against paying the revenue tax imposed on State and National Banks, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue states that, in his opinion, they are not exempt from the payment of the tax, but adds that no fines will be enforced on account of their failure to render their returns of deposit, provided they at once pay the tax specified by law. The Commissioner states that they are at liberty to pay the tax levied underprotest, and he will give them every facility for testing the legality of the case be fore the courts. " Gold has ruled firm under a moderate demand for cus toms, and the bulk of the business has been at 148 to 1481 7 though sales have been made at higher rates. '• Foreign exchange is in moderate demand, but rates are firm, especially for sterling bills. " The money market is rather easier, and there is now no difficulty in borrowing at 7 per cent. for call loans—A 1 securities. Commercial paper is also more readily dis counted, though there is no appreciable reduction in rates of discount. High grade paper is discounted at 7to 9, but little under 71. Second-rate paper is done at 9to 12 per cent. We quote : Per Cent. Per Annum. Loans on call, stock securities ... -to Do., bond and mortgage ... Prime endorsed bills, 60 clays Do., three to four mo . nthri First-class single names 7 to 7: to 8} 7} to 9 8 to 10 Other good bills lO to 12 " Government securities are rather firmer, with a fair demand, and quotations yesterday showed considerable im provement.

Legal Tenders par to American Gold 148 to American Silver — to " The stock market ruled dull and heavy until yester day, when the ' let up' in the money-market exerted a favourable influence, and stimulated considerable activity in the railway shares, most of which sold at improved prices. The market was somewhat irregular, however, but closed firm. Petroleum and mining stocks have partici pated in the improvement, and a firm business has been done since our last, generally at full prices." " Gold has ruled firmer within the three days past, and sales have been made as high as 147 f. per cent. • The market has become somewhat feverish, and the changes are more radical and more frequent. Foreign exchange has been fairly active, and rates are firmer for both bankers' and commercial bills. The money-market is scarcely so easy as last week, capitalists evincing more caution and greater disinclination to put out loans until after the assembling of Congress shall have given more stability to financial affairs. Commercial paper is offering very freely, in view of which rates are a trifle firmer. We quote : Loans on call, stock securities Do., bond and mortgage 7 Prime endorsed bills, 60 days 7 to 84 Do., three to four months First-class single names 8 10 , Other goods bills " Government securities have been depressed, and prices have still further declined. Both the Gold-bearing and Currency Bonds have sold quite freely, but at lower prices for all kinds, closing, however, with more firmness. The prices of all these securities are controlled to a certain extent by the uncertainty as to the future policy of the Secretary of the Treasury, and should he recommend the funding of the Short Currency Bonds, Interest-bearing Certificates, Notes, &c., into Gold-bearing Bonds, and thus add to the already large volume of Government Bends in market, a further decline would be almost certain to follow.

The following commercial intelligence is taken from the New York Shipping and Commercial List of Nov. 29 : "Business continues to be restricted by the causes pre viously adverted to—to wit, the apprehended tariff revi sion, the uncertainty regarding the financial problem, &c., and as the time for the meeting of the Congress approaches commercial transactions beconie more and more circum scribed, while commercial values, with few exceptions, have an unmistakably downward tendency. There is almost a total absence of speculative feeling, while the chief aim seems to be to await the action of Congress before assuming new obligations. " "Stocks have been irregular, and nearly all kinds of . railway shares have fluctuated considerably.

STAMPED 5d., SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. - •i-- TIMES.—The passage in President Johnson's Mes sage which especially concerns this country ought, we think, to be accepted in a friendly spirit. He could not do less than review the history of the Alabama claims; and in reviewing them he could hardly say less, at least to an American Congress, than he has said. There are, however, some things which the President did not say, and which are, nevertheless, very material. No one can deny, for instance, that " the accordance - of belligerent rights to the insurgents was unprecedented." Lord Russell admitted as much in his correspondence with Mr. Adams ; but the question is whether the civil war was not unprecedented too ; whether the United States did not assert belligerent rights, without con sulting prec e d en t s , b y daring a blockade ; and whether a neutral State could do otherwise than follow their example. Further, it is perfectly true, as a matter of fact, that England furnished more efficient aid to the Confederation than any other Power. It could no t b e otherwise, considering that England, of all maritime countries, lies nearest to A bt he n es a t e w r m i o c ar a lr d , k ad tn butdf o p r slrs isme s s se e ga s un t ad h l l e ya larges tthat, t p io r private a e sit being ged alsooc c o k s n tt rh i i ne buted more than any oth er nat i on to the suppression of the rebellion. Again, it is an undoubted fact that cruisers built, though not equipped, in • our ports " drove American comme rce from. the seas and transferred it" to neutral bottoms ; nor can we be surprised that some confusion should have existed, in the minds of the merchants who suffered thereby, between this consequence and the motives of our Government. It should have been remem bered, however, even by those , who Were least dis posed to rely on our good faith, that in this respect the interests of our shipowners were opposed to those of every other class- in the community. Liverpool does not dictate our national policy co the exclusion of Manchester and the great manu facturing districts, which lost far more by the con tinuance of the war than was ever gained by our mercantile marine. We ought not, therefore, to be suspected of favouring the creation of a Confede rate navy on selfish grounds, and the failure of our Government to prevent evasions of our law in one or two cases ought not to be recorded without some recognition of its successful intervention on other occasions. The advocates of the Confederate States have never ceased to protest against the oppressive construction, as they allege, which the law officers of the Crown fastened upon the Foreign Enlistment Act, and the embargo laid upon the two iron-clad rams was certainly an arbitrary exercise of Execu tive authority. These considerations should not be forgotten, even in America, and the conduct of Great Britain during a period of unparalleled difficulty should be measured, not by the losses inflicted on American trade, but by the duties of neutrality. • THE "ANGLO-AMERICAN TIMES" ON PRESIDENT JOHNSON'S MESSAGE.—We give a synopsis of Presi dent Johnson's Message, which was telegraphed from Queenstown, yesterday, to the London press. In the course of to-day doubtless the text of the Message will be in the hands of our readers, but meanwhile we have a summary sufficiently copious and complete to enable us to form an intelligent opinion regarding the most remarkable and impor tant State paper which has ever issued from an American President. That paper has already been read and discussed by millions of Americans on the other side of the Atlantic, and, within the next week, it will be read and re-read, and discussed by Monarchs and by Cabinet Ministers iii every capital in Europe. If the American people had not already, by their brilliant achievements in war, by their no less splendid progress in the arts of peace, so astonished the world that the world can never more be astonished at anything the American people may do, we should say that this Message of Presi dent Johnson would be read in Europe with as much surprise as admiration. It is the first public and official utterance of a man who, less than nine months ago, was stigmatised by the English press in terms that we will not sully these columns by repeating here. He was called by a sudden and stupendous calamity a calamity which shook America and the world like some great convulsion of nature—to assume the highest and most responsible position ever reached by mortal man. This whilom tailor of Tennessee, who was first ridiculed, and then abused—who was hunted down like a wild beast by the rebels in his native State—now sits in the highest place in the Restored Republic, and his words go forth like inspiration to the farthest corners of the earth. This Message of President Johnson is just what those expected who knew him best. Ile bas been regarded for more than a quarter of a century by all intelligent Americans as one of the most sagacious statesmen and purest patriots of which the Republic could boast. He has al ways been a moderate man—a Conservative, in the true and proper meaning of the word—and he brings to his great task as President the re sults of a lifetime of mental discipline, study, and self-reliance. Among the representative men of the South Andrew Johnson has always been considered the best and the noblest. Brecken ridge was brilliant, but treacherous ; Johnson had no greater merit than sterling integrity and sound common sense. Breckenridge is to-day an exile from his country, and a convicted traitor ; Johnson is the foremost man in all the land. Regarding reconstruction, the President is out spoken and firm, but conciliatory and moderate. Neither the Radicals of the North nor the fire eaters of the South have dismayed him. lie is willing to " cast the disorder of the past into oblivion ;"—to extend the broad shield of forgive ness over all repentant rebels—but he insists that evidence of sincerity shall be given by the ratifica tion by all the lately insurgent States of the con stitutional amendment abolishing slavery. This is not only eminently just and expedient, but it is absolutely indispensable to the restoration of the Union, and Mr. Johnson, himself a Southerner and formerly a slaveholder, recognises the fact. He has no vindictive feeling to gratify, but he reiterates his former declaration, that treason is a crime, that traitors should be punished, and crime made infamous. But while he has no respect for treason, he declares that those charged with it should have a fair trial before a civil tribunal. Mr. Johnson enters at considerable length into the question of the conduct of Great Britain in granting belligerent rights to the rebels, and in permitting vessels to sail from her ports to prey upon American commerce. But in discussing this most difficult subject he never for a moment loses his temper, nor forgets that courtesy and considera tion due to a Power with which the United States holds relations of peace and amity.

That the " Republic is peace" is evident from the fact that, since the commencement of the year, the Navy has been reduced from 530 vessels, armed with 3,000 guns, to 117 vessels with 830 guns ; and that the war estimate is reduced from 516 millions to 33 millions. The Pre sident's remarks on the Mexican question are extremely moderate, so far as we can gather from the reports which have reached us by telegraph The United States would regard it " as a great calamity to themselves, to the cause " of good government, and to the peace of the " world, should any European Power challenge the " American people, as it were, to defend Republi " canism against foreign interference. The United " States cannot foresee, nor are they unwilling to " consider, what opportunities might present them " selves or what combinations might offer to pro " test them against designs inimical to their form "of government. They desire to act in future as " they have acted heretofore, and they will never be " driven from that course but by foreign aggression, " and they rely on the justice and wisdom of foreignf " Powers to respect the system of non-inter:a " ence." This is directly to the point, and cannot tl be misunderstood.

The adjourned meeting of this company was held on Tuesday in Glasgow ; Mr. P. Blackburn in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said the meeting had been ad journed to that day, in consequence of legal proceed ings which had been instituted, and it was expected they would have been concluded before that time. Counsel had been heard on both sides before the First Division of the Court of Session, Edinburgh, but the Court had not given its decision. The only thing they could do was to adjourn the meeting for a few days until the Court decided whether they should vote remuneration to some of the officials or be forbidden to do so. He concluded by moving the adjournment of the meeting to Friday. Mr. IL DUNLOP seconded the motion. A very long discussion ensued, in which Mr. Meiklem, Mr. White, Mr. Ewing, Mr. Wallace, and other shareholders took part. The CHAIRMAN said the question before the Court was whether the shareholders could vote away the money. The interdict was against the company hay ing the right to vote away the money, not the direc tors. On the motion of the Chairman, seconded by Mr. Dunlop, the meeting was adjourned to Tuesday, the 19th inst. The First Division of the Court of Session gave judgment on Thursday in the case in which Clous ton and others applied for interdict against the directors of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, to prevent them paying £5,000 to the chairman and distributing the sum of £11,600 as compensation to certain officials who have lost office in consequence o f thd amalgamation of_the company with, the North British. Their lordships' were unanimously , of opinion that tho proposed payments could not bO made. BOMBAY, BARODA, AND CENTRAL INDIA. The half-yearly general.meeting of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern • Col. P. T. French in the chair. The report was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, stated that it had become necessary to en large and improve 21 stations on the line between Bulsar and Ahmedabad. They had strengthened the bridges, and the monsoon floods had passed away without doing any damage. The bridges, culverts, and masonry were being completed for a double line, as approved by the Government. Since the bridges had been strengthened the trains were run over them at the same speed as upon other parts of the line. The traffic continued to increase, and when the 1,000 additional waggons and ten new locomotives ordered were placed on the line he had no doubt that a further and a larger addition to the rolling stock would be required for increased traffic. The through and local traffic had been seriously affected by the accident to a portion of the Nerbud dah-bridge during the whole of the ten months it was under repair, but since the completion of the necessary works on it the traffic receipts had greatly increased. The whole line from Ahmedabad to Bombay-306 miles—was now open for both goods and passenger traffic, and he had no doubt what ever the returns would soon become very satisfac tory. The chief offices of the company had been recently concentrated at Bombay, and it was be lieved that considerable advantages would result from that arrangement. The chiefs of departments met once a week, or once a fortnight, to arrange business matters, and any recommendations they had to make were laid in due course before the Go vernment officer. If he approved those recommenda tions they were favourably considered by the Govern ment ; but, if he did not approve them, nothing would be done with them. He believed they had four through trains running each way daily between Bombay and Almfedabad. There were a number of trains run every day for the Reclamation Com pany to and from Bombay. There were other trains run to accommodate local traffic at places on the line. The recent increase in the fares for passengers and in charges for goods traffic would work benefi cially for the company, and enable them to realize a reasonable profit. The whole line, 306 miles from Ahmedabad to Bombay, was opened for goods' traffic on the Ist of November, and they might now look forward to increased traffic receipts. At one end of the line was Bombay, with its 800,000 inha bitants, and at the other end Ahmedabad, with its 175,000 inhabitants. At intermediate places they had Baroda with 100,000 inhabitants, Surat 100,000, and several others of 20,000 and 30,000 inhabitants. The 185 miles from Bulsar to Ahmedabad passed through the richest country in the world ; the soil was rich, the people were rich, and every one was rich. The increased rates for passengers and goods would augment their returns and make theworking remunerative. Application had been made to the Government to sanction a more detailed survey of the important line from Baroda to Ncemuch, and it was hoped it would be granted. It was found from a general snrvey to be most favourable for a line of railway, the whole distance 200 miles. This would point to Delhi, and if they could carry out a line iu that direction up to Delhi, it would prove a most valuable feeder as originally intended. It was pro posed to carry out those extensions on the ungua. rauteed principle, but receiving a certain subsidy. It was also proposed to make some short extensions into the fruitful district of Kattiawar, namely, from Ahmedabad to Veerumgaum and Wudmaun, 73 miles in length. The produce of the district con sisted chiefly of cotton and salt. The native chiefs had offered to subscribe about £200,000 towards its construction, and the agent of the company (Mr. Currey) had no doubt that if the Government would give them a subsidy that the remainder of the capi tal would be got in Bombay without coming to England for any portion of the capital, which would be a most desirable thing. Mr. HARTRIDGE, deputy-chairman, seconded the motion for the adoption of the report. A SHAREHOLDER wished to know the cost of the extension towards the construction of which the native chiefs were willing to subscribe £200,000. The CHAIRMAN said the estimate of the engineer was £454,000 ,buthe thoughtit better to say£soo,ooo. In reply to a question it was stated that outward freights to India had risen since the commence ment of their operations from 15s. to 555. per ton, the cost of coal at Bombay from 30s. to 445. per ton, and the cost of labour had increased fourfold, No advantage would arise to them from the Ner budda coalfield, as the carriage over 550 miles o f railway would bring up the cost to about 445. per ton at Bombay. The increased cost of labour and of sending out materials would account to a great extent for the increased cost of the line above the original estimate. The report was adopted, and the proceedings ter minated. Capt.
