That the thanks of the meeting be given to the Chairman, Direc tors, and Auditors, for their attention to the interests of the Com. pany. By Order. T. MACIDONA.LD, Secy. , , -tick the comditions of the act—tha, is, if he registers the n ame , res i de n ce, and description of the lender and borrower, the amount of the loan, and the proportion of profits to be received. For this immunity, however, he is to pay heavily. If the borrower becomes insolvent such a lender hi to be postponed to the other creditors, and be liableio refund besides, for their bene fit, all profits received by him a year before the failure, and all portions of the principal repaid him, and all re payments of principal are to be taken to have been re paid within the year, unless the date of the registry of payment shall establish the-contrary. Of the principle of these enactments we de not pro pose to say anything. It is now pretty generally admitted that the liability of the debtor to the cre ditor is only one of the incidents of the debt itself, and may be, - like that debt, a proper subject of contract, and that there is no more reason to deprive mankind of their natural liberty to contract with regard to their liability than on any other subject of agreement. The question to be decided is, how far the two projects of law of which we have above given an abstract fairly and com pletf.ly carry out the desired principle ? The first thing that occurs to us is, that the selection of that class of partnerships to which the privileges of the act may be extended is 'extremely arbitrary and en satisfactory. -The principle of the freedom to contract upon which the bill is founded extends obviously to every agreement of partnership, and we have a right to ask why such large classes of trading concerns are entirely excluded from its application I It is far more easy to see how this exclusion occurred than to suggest any principle upon which it can be de fended. The exclusion occurred because it was thought proper to engraft the proposed bill upon the Joint stock Companies Act of 1844. That act was restrictive and prohibitive in its provisions, forbidding partnerships most liable from the constitution to fraud and abuse from acting as joint-stock companies without registering themsel% es, and complying with other precautionary rules. The proposed measure is an enabling act, and therefore ought to have applied either to all cases indis criminately, ornt any rate by preference to those least liable to suspicion or fraud. By the engrafting of one upon the other, the privilege upon the disability, the enabling upcm ,thu restricting provisions, the measure introduces tie strange anomaly of offering extended powers to those very partnerships which, at the same time, it treats as objects of caution and distrust. The distinction -is made the wrong way ; but in truth there is no need of any distinction at all. There is something in the official min .l which renders it peculiarly prone to violate a principle as soon as it has established it, and introduce exceptions so large as to shake the very foundation of the rule. Many men admitted free trade in cotton, but denied its applicability to corn, admitted it in corn but would not extend it to lia bility shipping, and now i n s hi pp i ng but rt.fuse.to extend it to capital Partnerships w ith a c e rtai n num b er o f mem bs'oafw l li sah i r c ag h ree s s r a m or touch c nt h to facilitates ohfe °capital,w e t d h a e ti i hi r daalarg restrictiondenomina tion of creation, b u t are to be protected by an exclusive law from the comp e titi on of partnerships which would have been created if these arbitrary restrictions had not existed. If 24 men put down a thousand pounds a-piece for any undertaking, and agree that no new partner shall be admitted without the consent of the whole, they cannot have limited lia bility ; but, if 25 men do exactly the same thing, they can. Where is the sense or ieason of this distinction ? We object entirely to any restriction of the right of limited liability to partnerships having a particular deno mination of shares, a particular number of shareholaers, or to its depending in any way on whether the shares be transferable or not ; though, if we were to adopt a rule on this latter ground, we should rather incline to the contrary of the rule proposed. We maintain that freedom of contract should be as wide as the contract of partnership itself, and that no sound principle can be laid down for allowing the power of limiting their lia bility to some partnerships and taking it away from others. There will be many whose opinion is entitled to every respect who will feel equally strong objections to requiring that the terms of the partnership should be registered in order to exempt the partners who have stipulated for limited liability between each other, from unlimited liability as regards third persons. To us it appears that all that is _ wanted in order to .. make the agreement between the parties binding on the public is to give the public n ot i ce o f th e con- tents of the agreement, and we knovino — method by which this cAn be so simply and so securely done as by a public registration, binding and conclusive upon all who have access to it. Not to make such a registration, but to leave the liability of partners to be determined merely by their actions and admissions, would be to open the door to innumerable frauds and perjuries, and to sow the seeds of endless litigation. The latter bill seems to us to belong to that class of measures the enactments of which are so jealously fenced and guarded as to be totally inaccessible to those for whom they are designed. The usury laws are abol ished, and if a man likes to lend money to a partner ship at 50 per cent. he is entitled not only to receive back his principal and interest in full, if there are funds, but to prove for them on a bankrupt estate pari passu with the other creditors. It would be insanity in such a person to lend on the terms of being paid by a share of the profits, in order that, in considerltion of less in- „. terest, be might be postponed to all other creditors, and liable to refund his principal and interest, if received within a year of the bankruptcy. 'I he bill effectually prohibits the transaction it affects to facilitate. With these observations, we commend the measure to the careful oonsideration of the mercantile and legal public. (From the Morning Herald of this day.) The circular of Count Buol which we yesterday pub lished suggests reflections of the very gravest character as to the state of our relations with Austria. It i s , i n truth, only by glimpses that we get a view of what is passing in that diplomacy by which, nevertheless, events of the deepest moment to us all are decided. This re markable document supplies us with one of those glini pses. We now know that on the 14th of last month, pro posals made by the Austrian Government for the settle ment of the Eastern question were under consideration by the Cabinets of London and Paris. To very m any of our reader?, to most members of either House of Par liament, this intelligence will, we doubt not, came by surprise. It rests, however, upon the unquestionable authority of the Austrian Mini-ter for Foreign Affairs ; nay, it is by him publicly stated for the information of Europe. What may have been Jthe nature of the Austrian pr o . posals we are not told. We are, however, assured that in them the Cabinet of Austria believed that they had found "a loyal and complete fulfilment of the third point of guarantee and we are further informed by the same authority, that if accepted by the Western Powers Austria would have "presented these terms to the St. Petersburg Cabinet as an ultimatum. The Austrian Cabinet must not for one moment ima gine that a n y one i s i mpose d u p on by a devi ce th e trans parent hypocrisy of which is too plain. The w r it er of this letter kn ew p er f ec tly we ll that the ultim a t um would have been accepte d at St . P e t ers b urg , fo r th e b est of au' reasons, that its t erms h a d been previously arranged with that Cabi ne t it se lf. It is, unhappily, no secret that the fir s t con fid ent i a l commun i ca ti on o f th e Austrian Cabinet w as w ith R uss i a ; an d th e w ily A ustrian Mi nisters, having fir s t ascer t a i ne d that . the ter ms would be accepted by th a t G overnment, th en sen t th e proposals to the Cabi ne t s o f F rance an d E ng l an d, w i t h an intima tion that, if approve d of b y t h em, A ustr i a would, for. sooth, insist on th e acceptance o f t h em b y R ussia. This nation h as now a c l ear r i g ht t o k now w h at these proposals were. C ount B ud l has thought p roper to publish to th e wor ld the fact that suc h proposals were made. If they are rejected the responsibility of e on _ tinuing the war is thus thrown upon France and Egg land. The manifesto of Count Buol states that the Austrian proposals would have fully secured the third point—the diminution of Russian preponderance in the Black Sea. The whole truth must now be told, and the civilised world must be the judge whether offers have been made which would have secured this object. But this is not all. Whatever be the nature of these proposals, so mysteriously kept secret from Parliam ent and the country, it is perfectly plain that the Austrian Cabinet calculated on their acceptance. The whole lan. • ~~2~ , . it Buol's circular implies this. It is a deepest import to this nation to know by ,dectations of acquiescence in these propo ,rt of England were held out. Can it be ' John Russell was charged,' not only with In to the Conference but with a secret in, that the communication with Russia in this channel, and that the Austrian the result of this intrigue ? we may, perhaps, presume, that, like with Russian diplomacy, it ended in a end on the part of Russia of a great deal • was intended; and that the proposal, ,ck from Vienna to London, was more ,ussia than its noble author meant. lore, it is plain from this circular that latever it was, was seriously and for ;pd by the English Cabinet. No person it was, one which would have b een com• honour and interests of this country. was taken into serious consideration there.is at this moment a Russian party .eady to accept a dishonourable peace. .cely remind our readers of the language is in the House of Commons during the in the consideration of this proposal. id that such proposals had been made, once have excited the vigilance of Par were told that the door of negotiation , n, and that any discussion in Parlia •efore, be injurious to the best interests let us ask ,does this revelation throw of Mr. Disraeli. We now understand )f ministerial language and the (Inner erial conduct. They proceeded from icision. While Ministers were paltering jlf• posalS from Austria, they could not, sot, hold manly, distinct, or intelligible %men t. not all. The plot, for plot it was, has the communication to Parliament of le Vienna Conference. Of thatcommu nicition the Cabinet of Austria very bitterly complains. Our readers will not forget how long the communication of these papers ware delayed—how it was made without any of the solemn formalities which usually attend such communications, and how Ministers obstinately avoided the proper and constitutional courAe of inviting Parlia ment to the consideration of the subject. If the object of the conspiracy has failed, if peace has not been concluded upon terms which would place Eu rope at the mercy of Russia, we owe it, we verily believe to the publication of these protocols. This was the step which disarranged the schemes of the conspirators, and which defeated the conspiracy, by inviting public atten tion to the true character of the Vienna Conference. We wish earnestly we could say with any confidence that the danger was past. It is, however, too patent that there is still left a party in the Cabinet bent upon peace with Russia upon safe and dishonourable terms. We may, perhaps, look with something like hope to the awakened energies of the House of Commons at last ventur ng to discuss matters of state. The circular of Count Buol emphatically points out the duty of the representatives of the people to debate and discuss such subjects, and the peril that attends its neglect. We have not adverted to the future course of Austria, as indicated in this manifesto. We have never concealed our opinion that this Austrian alliance, for which we have sacrificed so much, would fail us in the end. The time is now come when Austria must at last choose her part. These pacific proposals have exhausted her last devices to put off the hour of that choice. If ,our Ministers have only held language worthy of the crisis and of this country, Austria will never dare to throw her strength into the Russian scale. We may presume that the first business of the re assembled House of Commons will be to force from Ministers an explicit statement of this matter. The nation must now be fully informed of the nature of the Austrian proposals, and we must not be left for one moment in uncertainty as to their fate. /l / - r ~~~ ~~~_ ~ ~~ . . ._ • - i" -- --...,, -...,,,,... 7 . : • • , ~, ,', ,„•-"j: .

ABSCONDING BLNKRUPTS.-IMPOR7 TANT CASE. • At Guildhall yesterday Daniel Mitchell Davidson and Cosmo Wm. Gordon, who lately carried on business as general merchants and metal brokers at Cousin -lame and Mincing-lane,.London, and as distillers at West Ham, Essex, were placed at the bar for further exanination, relative to the charges of absconding from their liabili ties, which are said to amount to about 500,0001., with uttering forged spelter warrants, with concealing their effects; and with obtaining, by fale pretences, goods to a •large amount on sredit within three months of their bankruptcy, with intent to cheat and defraud their cre ditors. Sir Peter Laurie presided, and Sir R. W. Carden and Mclennan flumphery were present during the proceed ings. The court, as on the former occasion, was densely crowded ley merchants, bankers, and other commercial gentlemen of high respectability and position in the City, who appeared to take a lively interest in this im portant investigation. 'Mr. Ballantine, instructed by Messrs. Linklater, ap peared for the prosecution. Mr. Bodkin, instructed by Mr. Humphreys, appeared for Davidson, and Mr. Clarkson for Gordon. Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., attended to watch the pro ceedings on behalf of Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and Co., in consequence of certain remarks made by Mr; Dalian tine, imputing motives, of a not very uprigkt character to the firm in their transactions with the prisoners. Mr. Ballantine said—ln connection with the case I mentioned when I was last before you, Sir Peter, there are one or two matters in regard to Mr. Chapman (of the firm of Overend, Gurney, and Co.), who was examined as a witness, which requires some explanation. Mr. Chap man must have been under some misapprehension, be cause it will be in your recollection that he conveyed to you that the firm of Overend, Gurney, and Co. had no connection with Davidson and Gordon after Oc tober, 1853. The bankrupts' books are here, and I aihall show to you that discounts 'took place since then to a very large extent. There is another mat ter I think it right to mention, because a highly respectable solicitor must also have been under some misapprehension. It was stated by Mr. Chapman that they would have nothing whatever to do with the busi ness of the prisoners' distillery, and the reason given was one of a moral character.. It seems to have Been conveyed that the title-deeds of the distillery had never been held by Mr. Chapman on the part of Overend, Gurney, and Co. An agreement is in the hands of Mr. Linklater, by which the leases are conveyed to Mr. Chapman, for the benefit of Overend, Gurney, and Co., and that agreement is in the hand writing of Mr. 'Stal lings, the solicitor to Overend, Gurney, and Co. It is right that these matters should be known ; and having proved thi-, I shall introdu ce ano th er case o f o b taining goods fraudulently to a very considerable amount, and another transaction, which it is not necessary for me now to explain, but which will make out that these bankrupts knew the fact that these warrants were fraudulent. Chas. Walker was then called, and having been sworn said—l was clerk to Day dson and Gordon. *I kept their books. I have a memorandum in thrve books of transactions with Overend, Gurney, and Co., after October, 1853. In the bill-book I find a draft for 502/. 25., purporting to have been discounted by Over - end, Gurney, and Co., on the 20th of November, 1853. There are also memoranda of drafts discounted for 1601. on the 3d December, 1853 ; 2761. 15s. 9d. on the 12th ; and 1,0801. 14s. 9d. on the 13th of the same month ; 1,4381. 15s. 6d. on the 2d of January, 18 . 54 ; 3651. 14s. 6d., and 5791. 11s. 9d. on the 3d of the same month ; 3001. on the 10th o f F e b ruary, 1854; 1,0001., and 3831. 17s. 6d. on the 27th of March in the same year ; and 1,450/. on the 3d of April, 1854. The discounts upon all these drafts were paid into the prisoners' backers, Barnett, Hoare, and Co. Sir Peter Laurie —What is the total amount of all these drafts ? Mr. Ballantine—About 8,0001. Mr. Vallings said—l know the agreement produced. The oorrectious are in the handwriting of Mr. Young, but the agreement was altered and signed by me ai acting for Overend, Gurney, and. Co. The agreement was then read, and purported to con tain the mutual consent of Nicholson and Co. ; Overend Gurney, and Co., Mr. Wehb, the assignees of Cole Brothers, and the assignees of Davidson and Gordon, to the unreserved sale of the distillery, which was about td be sold by the auctioneer for the duty owing to the Crown ; and that the balance of the proceeds of such sale, after paying the duty, should be paid into the bank to the account of the consenting parties to the agree ment, without prejudice to their respective rights. Mr. Edwin James here rose and said—l do not pro pose—and, in point of fact, I have no right —to take part in this discussion with reference to the prosecution of the prisoners at the bar ; but I have come here on behalf of Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and Co., merely to ask your indulgence that no observations be made in reference to them in these transactions until the whole of the evidence has been gone through. I am certain that even before the evidence is com pleted the character of Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and Co., is perfectly safe in your bands, sir ; and the public will suss_ end their judgment until the whole of the evi dence is adduced before you. If any remarks should be made by the City, Messrs. Chapman, Overend, and Gur ney are able to explain ; and I am sure, feeling your s.mse of justice, and my friend Mr. Ballantine's fairness, that no imputations will be made. I merely ask you, if Mr. Chapman should be put in the witness-box, to al low me to suggest questions with regard to his conduct in this matter. Mr. Chapman is perfectly willing to meet any proceedings that may be taken against him ; and I have only to ask that no further imputations shall be made beyond that which the evidence will justify. I think my friend will allow that the agreement which has just been read was executed after the bankruptcy of the prisoners, and I am sure he will not object to Mr. Chap man explaining it, which he is perfectly able to du. Mr. Ballantine said—l put this agreement in merely to show, that, by becoming parties to it, Overend, Gur ney, and Co. recognised their title to the distillery, nl though they had previously declined to have anything to do with it. Sir Peter Laurie said—l allowed Mr. Chapman to ex plain himself on every occasion of his coming before me, notwithstanding it was objected to ; and Mr. Chapman expre-sed himself very much obliged to me for it. Mr. Edwin James said—l do nut mean to say that you would not act with fairness, but I am sure you will not allow any house like this to be injured by any imputa tions that may be thrown out here. Mr. Ballantine said—lf these facts are in favour of Mr. Chapman, he will have the verdict of the City, and nothing that a counsel would say would make any im pression ; but if against him, they would most certainly condemn him. Mr. Edwin James—That is all I require. Mr. Ballantine—l assure you that I have considered every word I have spoken in this case ; bectuse no coun sel ought to injure a person, unless in the discharge of his duty. There is not a word that I desire to withdraw ; and all that I have hitherto said I stilt adhere to. Mr. Vallings was re-examined, but spoke so low that the reporter found it impossible to catch distinctly what he said ; but he was understood to say that he retained possession of certain deeds connected with the distillery on behalf of Overend, Gurney, and Co. W. Horry said--I am a supervisor in the excise. I was at the West Ham Distillery in June, 1854. I pro duce a warrant, granted by two county magistrates, t ) levy for 14 ,000/., double the amount of duty due, which was 7,4221. 17s. 2d. On Saturday, the 17th of June, 1854, I received from Davidson and Gordon's clerk a cheque on Barnett, Hoare, and Co., for 2,070/. for duty on spirits going out that morning. That cheque was presented on the same day, about two o'clock, and not paid. There were cheques to the amount of 7,4201. that were dishonoured. Cross examined by Mr. Bodkin —The reason given for not paying the cheque was that the funds in their hands were attached. The cheques were presented at the bank, but not by me, and I, therefore, do not know the answer. Richard Simpkins said—l am partner in the firm of Simpkins and Isaac, of Goldsmith-street, London. 'ln January, 1854, the prisoners bought some Turkey-red cambric. The order was given for about 3,0001. to 4,0001. We supplied the first delivery for about 2,0001. Gordon said he wanted them for shipment to their correspondent in Calcutta. The first portion of these goods was deli vered on the 20th of March, 1854, and a second portion about the 20th of April in the same year. The first por tion, amounting to 1,8001., was paid for in ca s h. W e made a subsequent delivery about the 20th of April to the amount of 1,4001., and we took acceptances for two-thirds of that amount. The rest was paid in cash. One of the acceptances was paid. They gave us a fur ther order for goods to the amount of 2001., to be deli tered about the let of June, but from information I re ceived I detained them. Henry John Todd said—l carry on business in Pancras lane. In May, 1854, I was agent to,Pickford, Johnson, and Co., of Manchester. I received an order from the prisoners to deliver 19 cases of printed cotton and two cases of muslin. I received that order from Gordon. The cottons amount to 1,7191., and the muslin to 3461. I under stood they were to be shipped to India. Gordon told me so. I never got any money for these goods, and we are, therefore, creditors to that amount. Wm. Beddowe said—l am commission agent in Hug gin-lane. In May, 1864, I was agent to Russell, Doug las, and Co., of Bradford, in Yorkshire.. From whet my clerk toll me I supplied them with goods to the amount of 1,397/. I also supplied goods to the amount of 4261. on the part of Al‘Minan, of Glasgow. Neither of these amounts have bean paid. Nathaniel Davis said—l am a salesman in the °- empl y of Mr. Beddow& ri I went to soli c it or d ers of the p . ers in May, 1854.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—The difficulties and dangers of bringing up Infants by hand or wet nurses have been entirely over come by Du Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabica Food, which feeds, strengthens, and removes all those little pains and irre gularities infants are so subject to. The following letters speak volumes :—" Grammar School, Stevenage, 16th Dec., 1850. Gentlemen,—l think it but common justice to you to state that I have used Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica for the last four months, during which time our infant has never had disordered bowels, from which it had suffered much during the previous six months, whilst being nursed, though every care was taken to prevent it. Had I known of your valuable Food sooner it would have saved my infant much pain , and me also the heavy exp ense o f a wet nurse.—l am, &c. ROBERT AMBLER." Cure 2704.—"1 consider you a blessing to society at large.

This was an action for breach of promise of marriage, foundSe9rPahiiiad thesEhvipanui'l'cler, brought by Mise merchant in the Russia trade, against the defendant, a son of an iron- i nd Scotland. daughter of a The facts will be found in the f • edof the ' 1 su owe outline • evidence. Mr: Serjeant Wilkins and Mr. Slegg were ceurrsellot the plaintiff. No one appeared on behalf of the defendant. Mrs. Mary Ann Evans --I am the mother of the nlaiettff, Sophia Evans. She is 24. I know the de fendarlt, Andrew Scott. He is his father's agent, who is an !iron-founder and shipbuilder, in Scotland. He is about '33. My late husband was a merchant in th • Russia trade. Def en d an t' s brother, John, married e my - daughter, Susannah, in 1851. Defendant befor e that - - time told ' me he wished to marry Kophy, and that it should take place the same day his brother was married. I siiid I would rather net. I thought one marriage at a - time was sufficient. I added I would write to my son, who is a civil engineer in India, and ask his consent. When I afterwards gave my consent defendant appeared very much delighted. Defendant wrote to my son for his consent, which he obtained. During 1851 and 1852 he visited my daughter every day, and drove us fre quently out in his phaeton. Their marriage was fixed ter the 10th of February, 1852. Wedding dresses, &c., were prepared. The marriage did not take place, I ecause no notice whatever was taken of it by defendant. He was then lodging at Brixton. My daughter went with me to Paris in 1852. Defendant •promised to come to us there at Christmas. He did not not come. Be corresponded with her and made her presents. He became less attentive about a month before we left for the Continent. [A long correspondence was put in and read, but there was nothing particularly interesting in it. It concluded by defendant's saying, "he would re lieve the plaintiff from her engagemen , .l Her spirits were mach affected, and she is still debilitated. After he broke off the engagement he wrote, demanding back his letters and somethings he had left with my daughter. They were not delivered up. In March last a person calling himself a Bow street officer came to the house to demand back defendant's letters and presents. • He came three times. :I saw the .defendant . outside while the officer was in the house. I demanded his authority. As. he had none to show he was sent out of the house. Miss. Maria Evans—l am sister of plaintiff. At the time of my sister Susannah's marriage with defendant's brother, defendant told me he intended to ask Sophia to marry him. He was constant in his atterance after wards until my mother and sister went to Paris. I agree with my mother as to th e e ff ect o f b rea ki ng off the mar riage orimy sister's health. . _ Mr. gooper, an accountant, deposed that he was pre sent at a conversation between Mr. Atkinson, the plain tiff's attorney, and the defendant. Mr. Atkinson said it was a very disgraceful thing to send an officer to ladies, who were unrrotected, on the charge of stealing trinkets, and demanded the name of the officer. Defendent Aron i4ed to give the name in two days. He did not do so. Mr. Atkinson gave up to defendant his presents to Miss Evans, and defendart gave a receipt for them. I know plaintiff, and believe she has seriously suffered in health in consequence of defendant's conduct. Miss Emma Newman—l remember a man coming to Mrs. Erns' house, and stating he was a Bow-street offi cer. He said he had come for some articles belonging to Mr. Scott, which Mr. Evans had. He said he would search the house, and take Mrs. Evans and her daughter into custody if they did not give the things up. His authority was demanded, and the door locked upon him, when he did not produce it. After that he continued, with other persons, to knock at the door. Mrs. A. Robinson deposed that a lady had lately been in the habit of visiting defendant at his office, and that defendant had told witness he was married to her. This, with the correspondence, which was read at length, being the plai n tiff' s case , Mr. ustice Williams summed up, and the jury re turned a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages, 5007. RETURN OF HER )114 TESTY THE QUEEN FROM OSBO RIVE. SOUTHAMPTON, MAr 31. Her Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Royal children, and suite arrived at Southampton en route to London, from Her Majesty's marine residence at Osborne this afternoon at 3 o'clock, in the Royal steam-yacht Fairy, Captain the Hon. Joseph Denman, accompanied by the Elfin tender. The weather was as disagreeable as it could possibly be, and the Royal party landed during a heavy fall of rain. It was not until within an hour of her Majesty's arrival that the Royal intention was made known to the dock and rail way officials at this port, and almost before the necessary preparations were completed the Fairy hove in sight, and was quickly alongside the dock quay, upon which the Royal carriages were arranged. As soo❑ as Her Majesty an I suite had disembarked the Royal train pro ceeded to London at half-past 3 o'clock, amid enthusi astic cheers. The Ro% al party consisted of Her Majesty his Royal Highness Prince Albert, their Royal High nesses the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, Prince Alfred, the Princesses Alice, Helena, and Louisa, Prince Arthur and Prince Leopold, and their Serene Highnesses the Princess of Hohenlohe Langenburg, and the Princesses Adelaide and Feodore of Hohenlohe. The Royal suite comprised the Marchioness of Ely, the Hon Miss Seymour, Major-General the Hon. Charles Grey, Vie Master of the Household, Major-General Buckley, and Mr. Gibbs. The Queen wa4 received on the part of the South• Western Railway Cantiany by Messrs. Scott, Watkins, and Beattie, the principal officers of that line, and by Messrs. Hedger, Giles, and Levy, the principal officers of the .Sout"ampton Dock Company. The Hon.

Mr. Ballantine—Did Davidson and Gordon haVe any correspondent at - Calcutta - I Witness—We used to receive letters from India, and used to send gotids to those parties through a London house. Hoffman was the name of the house, and be made advances upon these goOde. ' Mr. Edwin James said—With reference to .these dis counts, which took place after October, 1853, they do not refer to the metal warrants, as they were connected with-previous transactions, and it was under that impres sion that Mr. Chapman said they had no dealings with the bankrupts after October, 1853, but immeiately upon leaving this court on a former occasion he wrote to Mr. Linklater, expressing a wish to correct his evi dencb with regard to these discounts. Mr. Bailantine unde stand from the clerk of the curt that it wilt be necess.,ry to prove the proceed-, ings in bankruptcy. The witness who will be able to do _ that is at present many miles from here, but on a subse quent occasion I shall be able to produd . e him. The prisoners were then remanded. FATAL RIOT 'AT SHIELDS. ---.__ A riot took pl ace upon South Shields sands on Wed nesday morning. One person was killed, and several others are severely wounded. The races were held upon those sands on Whit-Monday and Tuesday, and there was a good deal of drunkenness in the publicans tents that were pitched near the r ice•course. An Irishman of the name of James Roe, belonging to the Castle-Garth, Nee castleo , n-Tyne, had a tent on the sand, and on Tuesday night it was pretty well crowded with his coun trymen. Riotous proceedings were threatened, and it is evident that they were premeditated, as a number of formidable bludgeons known as "Morgan Rattlers," pis tols, swords, and old blunder busses were taken from the rioters after the affray. About midnight on Tuesday an Englishman of the name of Evans and a peaceable deaf and dumb lad, named Johnso n , went into Roe's tent for some refreshment. Th ey bad no sooner entered it than they were attacked by the Irishmen and fearfully beaten. Evans ran for the police to come and rescue his companion, but upon S e r ge ant Richardson and Police constable Kidd going into the tent they were imme diately knocked down, and on the three officers coming to their assi s t ance th ey were a l so b ea ten. One officer of the name of John Mattison has ten wounds on his head, two of his fingers are broken, and he is much injured. Ant ther officer, named Atkinson, is also much injured in the spine. After disabling the policemen, who were left on the sands insensible, the rioters retreated to their tent, where they commenced firing upon the persons outside, but it appears that no one was injured.
