DYER. another Director, said—l ought to state that it is my firm conviction, from all I have seen, that the intentions and motives by which Mr. J. B. Smith has been directed have always been those of honour and integrity ; and that there was not the slightest indication of anything like want of principle. It was a wrong, a censurable thing in him to go away and leave such important duties to the doctrine of chances ; that is a matter of blame which attaches to him ; but certainly there is no evidence, I think, at all implicating his integrity. And as it is mentioned as a sort of palliation of the faults of the parties connected with the affiiirs of this bank, that Mr. Smith is a heavy sufferer, I may mention to you that I never sold a share in the bank; that I am the unlucky proprietor of 2,500 shares ; that these shares cost me upwards of 32,0001. ; and that, upon the whole, I shall be a loser of very nearly 40,0001. by this concern.—(Sensation.) We will also copy a part of what Mr. Wm. SMITII, a managing Director, said—l am sure I should be quite deceiving you, if I were to hold out the yemotest hope that you will recover back any 01 your capital. 1 do not myself think that you will. f have given my -- best attention, of course, to the sultject, and I have come to the best conclusion could ; and I think, although it is impossib!e, in such huge figure", to make anything like an accurate de cision ; and although, I confess, wherever there is a question I give safety the benefit of it, and rather over-estimate the loss than otherwise, because I felt it would be equally unsatisfactory to you to be told that 50,0001. is lost, as to be told that you have lost it all. So I have, in my estimate, had refer euce to the ultimate winding up, and to the ex penses and delay necessarily incidental, to it; and I do not think that you can expect to get any of your capital back ; but I do think that, if the assets turn out in any way, as I hope and believe they will, you may reasonably expect a good portion of this call to be re-paid you.---(Applause.) It is self-evident that we cannot expect our creditors to wait the tardy realisation of our. assets; and when we show that, under the best circumstances, we have not within 10,0001. of what will pay our debts, I think it is quite necessary to make a call. The Directors have had another object in doing so beyond their pressing ne cessities. They have desired to show, that however unfortunate we may be, we are still determined to look at the question as men of business, and to show that we have that energy and strength within us to enable us promptly and satisfactorily to merit their det\iands.—(Applause.) A resolution was passed " That no transfer of shares be permitted, on any account or pretence what ever, notwithstanding that notice of any such trans fer may have already been sent in for approval of the Board of Directors.

We refused belief to a report of so extraordinary a nature, but thought it our duty to wake inquiries, which have not led to its 'confirma tion. Letters from Canton mention the same report, buL merely as such, and as to officers being in the forts, a gentleman on his passage from Whampoa to Canton only states that he saw several foreigners walking near one of the forts. kis probable that the report first took its origin from several visits which the Chinese Admiral made on board the Constellation, where he was received with a salute and manned yards; the crew is then said to have been put through their exercise before the Chinese officers, and as those are pretty generally accompanied by a great•number of followers, people looking on from a distance may have thought them soldiers come on hoard for the purpose of instruction. The Numa transport sailed yesterday with convicts for Bermuda. - The Thunderer, 84, Capt. Pring, left Gibraltar for England on the Ist inst.

The Alban steamer has proceeded to the Chops of the Channel, with provisions and water to relieve the homeward-bound trade. By an arrival at Monte Video, from the Falkland Islands, it appears that Captain Ross, with his two discovery ships, Erebus and Terror, were at Port Louis. 'They were refitting, and are again to attempt the voyage South in- the tract of Captain Waddell, who passed to • the latitude of 74, where he left an open sea. It is said that Captain Ross had made im portant disclosures in the variation of the compass and the situation of the South Pole. The Bee steam-vessel, constructed for the use of the students on board the Excellent (gunnery ship), at Portsmouth, was taken up to Deptford yesterday to be fitted with a screw propeller, by Mr. S.

It has not been talked of," says the writer of the pa ragraph, " in theatrical circles during the week, be cause the knowledge of its existence and acceptance has hitherto been confined to comparatively few, and those few have felt themselves, to a certain extent, bound to secrecy. For ourselves, an acquaintance with the fact has not been obtained in any way whlth at all pledges us not. to mention it, though we refrain from entering even into such particulars as have reached us, because we do not wish to contravene the desire of the parties who are now especially interested is the receipts of the theatre. The production itself is of a serious character, and the dramatis personce will require the whole strength of the theatre, including. we hope and believe, the individual now at the head of the concern." These fulsome announcements do great injury to the Kemble family. - - --- , X 1,810,4132 18 II £1,810,4 2 16 11 Reserved surplus ... 19,321 12 9 Estimated Branch fund I'rofit for year l-1,2:30 19 7 , , - Cipital 741,0:30 0 0 Deficit £lO,L4B 7 0 --- KENDAL TRADE.—There still continues to be a fair business doing in several descriptions of goods, but there are no signs of progressive increase, and no new hands are being taken on. The want of water at the mills is beginning to be felt severely. This is most unusual for the season. We regret to say that the hands connected with the building trades are now very short of employment. The little occupation which they obtained at jobbing during the summer months seems gradually coining to an end, and the prospect of a hard winter opens drearily for them. Trade in wool continues stationary. There is cer tainly no improvement, perhaps no change in price, but not so much doing.—Kendal Mercury. TIIE NABOB AT HOME; OR, THE RETURN TO ENG LAND. By THE AUTHOR OF " LIFE IN INDIA."—This is another addition to the many valuable books that have lately arisen out of the society, the pursuits, and the personal interests connected with our Indian empire ; anal it is by no means the less valuable for taking the form of a novel, for while it furnishes ample entertainment to the idlest of readers, it con veys a large fund of solid information for those who may need it. The Nabob is first presented to us in India, just as he is preparing for his departure, the varied details of which are given with much liveliness and spirit, and include many important hints, as well to the Johny Newcome, who has just a rr i ve d on t h e Indian shores, vs to those who are returning thence. The voyage to England is extremely well related, and is evidently exactly founded on the experience of the writer. lne chief events of the story occur, Flowerer, at home, and add greatly to the excitement and interest of the narrative. The number and variety of the characters, the striking contrasts they oiler, and the novel nature of much of the scenery, render this work a very attractive one, particularly at the present moment, when public attention is so much occupied with the East.

A letter from Tournay, , of the 11th of October, says—" We have, from good authority, that the Open ing- of our railway is filially fixed for the 13th of No vember, that it w ill b e honoured by the presence of the King and the French Princes. .there have been several Cabinet Councils within these two or three days." RussrA.--HIGA, SEPT. 29.—A multitude of reports are in circulation here respecting the fire at Cusun, which the alarmists ascribe to a conspiracy of the Tartars against Russia. Some troubles have taken place in the Ukraine, where it is said a conspiracy against the Russian authorities have also been dis covered. In our German provinces in the Baltic the discontent of the peasants continue, but it is kept in check by the military occupation. AMSTERDAM, OCT. I.—The Austrian frigate Bel lona, of 66 guns, commanded by the Archduke of Austria, bound from Portsmouth for Holland, is stated, in a letter from the Texel of the 12th of this month, to have stranded on the previous evening, in a thick fog, on the Erisland ; the masts were imme diately cut away and the guns thrown overboard, but soon afterwards her back was broken, and the frigate partly went to pieces during the night. 149 of the crew, including l 1 officers, were brought on shore by the safety boat, but the remainder of the crew were drowned.—(This is all pure fiction. The Archduke is still in this country, and the Bellona at Portsmouth, in perfect safety.) 11ANDLEsnLAD.—THE "LAGUE, OCT. 13.—The ordinary session of the States-General will be opened on Monday next, in the usual manner, by the King in person.

TOTAL WRECK: OF A FIRST. _. CLASS STE AME R. 13IUSTOL, SATMIDAY, OCT. 13.—A letter was re ! ' ceived this therning at the Commercial-rooms :here, ... stating that the new iron steam er B r i gan d had beam lost on Wednesday on the Scilly I s l an d s . Th is news created considerable excitement i n • th e mercant il e world, and more particularly so from the fact of the 1 ' Brigand having been built to trade between Bristol and Liverpool, calling at Wexford, in which trade she had been employed for the last two years, having I left the station only a fortnight since for the purpose of proceeding from London to St. Petersburgh, for which port she was intended to sail from the t. Ka tharine's Dock on Thursday next. The Brigand was one of the largest and most beau tiful iron steamers ever yet built, being. of 600 tons burden, and 200-horse power, and was remarka,sle for the beauty of her workmanship, the splendid it ting,a of her saloon, and her Pxtraordinary speed. S,e cost in building 32,000/. The rumour to %%inch wig have alluded above was unfisrtunirtely too soon coo firmed by the arrival of the Cornish steamer Herald, Sampson Hawes, commander, from Hayle, bringing the crew of the unfortunate steamer, 27 in number, and confirming the statement of her total wreck on the Bishop Rock, a portion of the Scilly Isles. Upon receiving this confirmation. we immediately took steps to ascertain the particulars of this unfortu nate accident, and the following statements, derived from the chief mate and one of the engineers of the Brigand, may be relied on as correct. It appears that the Brigand hayin g t a k en in upwards of 200 tons of coals, and' a large quant i ty of patent fuel for her consumption on the voyage to St. Peters burg, sailed from Liverpool for London at two o'clock on Monday afternoon, and proceeded safely .on her voyage until five o'clock on IVednesday mornings wfien they saw the St. Agnea' light, which, from ti refraction of light, the weather being very hazy, th e , conceived to be at a considerable distance—th ey a vere then steaming at 12 knots an hour : suddenly I,F ee man on the look-out at the bow sang out, " Irreakera ahead 1" which they distinctly saw, but fl i p l ate, au _ fortunately, for the rate at which they were going ) was such, that they could not stop her ; rind; although they put the helm hard.aport, to endeavour to Piliftrti the rock; the vessel immediately afterniards struck most violently, and two plates of the bluff' of her bow were driven in. She reboundok from the rock, but in an instant afterwarde, she struck again, broadside on, the force of whidi blow may be in some measure conceived from the fr et, that it actually drove a great portion of her paddle wheel through her side into the engine -roan,, Th e vessel was built in tour compartments, the plan adopted in 'iron ships, or she would have gums down instantly, two of her compartments being now burst, and the water rushing into thein at a :roost leartU rate. By the two shocks four and a hell plates were destroyed, and four angle• irons were gone .in the engine -room. The two COlllpartinents aft being, h orn ._ ever, still water-light, she continued to float, and every exertion was used by her cemniander, Captairs Hunt, for upward of tw o hours to save her, when the crew took to the boats, and shortly after she went down, about seven miles from the rock, in about 45 fathom: of water. The .mate attributes the loss to the strong current setting them up on th e roc k , and to the haze strong deceived them as to the distance of the St. Agnes' light. The men connected with the en gineeringdepartment, whom we saw, give the following interesting narrative of the occurrence. They gay, that having left Liverpool on the Monday afternoon, every thing proceeded well until a few minutes before 3 o'clock on Wednesday morning, the vessel then going at full speed, her engines making upwards of 20 revolutions in the minute, being then, as they have since learned, close off St. Agnes. They were at work below in the engine-room, when suddenly they felt a tremendous shock, accompanied with a report like the roar of cannon, and almost instantaneously a second shock, and the water rushed in in a fearful mariner. They immediately ran on deck, and found that the vessel had struck the rock as before described. One of them was then ordered by the Captain to as sist the carpenter in endeavouring to stop the leak, ,for which purpose he went down in the engine-roone, where they were still trying to work the engines, but the paddle-wheel being driven in, had torn the injection-pipes, so that they would not work, but at. slow-moti o n ; th e eng i nes b e i ng kept working, the- Captain, as this man imagines, not thinking the leak so bad, and that they could get the better of it, a s e that, as the weather was so moderate, they rnapo a t reach some port. O n exam i n i ng t h e l ea k i n the" en_ gine-room, they found a rent o f a t l eas t 'five feet i n length, the rivets being started, and the ar fearfiplatea'oronen ) d rusher through which the water shed in a '.rtt manner. They immediately procured. it. plank, mid having fixed it against the leak, by r4tans of stays, to the cylinder, they got a quantity of waste low and grease, which they stuffed in anltudeavoured to keep out the water, and partially succeeded in doing so ; but the other leak in the fore'aold being out of reach, rendered all their efforts ineffectual, and the water • continuing to pour in, soon put the fires oa f after which, there being then more then thur feet of voter in the engine-room, they were eurepelhal to quit it. In the meantime, another portium of the. crew had been ordered by the Captelin to go intea the hold, and throw the coals and patron,. fuel overboard, iii order 'to lighten her, and blue lights Were bums` awl other alpals of distress made. The men went, ,to ‘‘:ork,4l. l4 .sdily in the hold, ge tti ng out the eealn, 1 4e.,uetil . tine water having gained very much open there, they rushed on deck. The Captain. having, however, addressed and encouraged them, they ' re turned to the hold and continued their exertions for about a quarter of air hour longer, when the water haying rised over the hatches of the lower deck they were compelled to quit the hold. The Captain then called them all aft on the quarter-deck, and, finding that no further exertion could be made to save the ship, and that she was then fast sinking forward, the, sea at that time breaking over her bow, ordered there to make preirarationa for saving themselves, and fe te two boats belonging to the Brigand (both jollybo' a t s ) were got out, and th e crew, twenty-seven in nine+ er , placed in them. The Captain and mate remair,eli on ' the quarter-d ec k o f th e un fb rtunate vessel to i t'd t h e last. The b oa t s , w hi c h were completely (Zowded, then shoved Off, without having any proi;i'sions on board, except a small quantity of bread`, aear' t i n a f ew minutes the Brigand disappeared, shikii4e head fore most, about sev en m il es f ront where sten struck, and in deep water. The weather, fort Irately,' Was at this Moment p ar ti cu l ar l y nuxlerrht, or - the _olts in their crowd e d s t a t e cou l d not are se lived in the b sea., - • and nut a soul mutt probaldy would have been left to tell the tale. Having rowed to the rock, uporn which they landed, to survey the coast, they spur eel their course ibr St. Agnes Bay, where, to t'aeir inexpresrihle joy, they saw two boats, well swanned, coming to their re li e f , b y whom (the wen in the Brigand's boats being much exhausted from their exer tions on board) they were taken in tnien Some of the hands were placed on board the other boats to lighten their own, and render them less crowded, and at about two or three o'clock in the afternoon they were fortunately landed at St. Mary's, Scilly, without the loss o f a s i ng l e life. Front St. Agnes the y pro ceeded in a pilot-boat to Denzance, and the ship wrecked crew were kindly conveyed, passage free, to Bristol in the H era ld, 'The rocks upon which the Brigand was lost have proved peculiarly fatal ; no longer ago than,- 1841 the Thames steamer ia_ o, been was wrecked within th ree miles of the same :I an n ol de or 80 lives lost. V ar i o us suggestions have t` of this wrec k , by nautical./ men here as to die t sonic say:eig that the steamer oi c h a t u.s not to have got e d that, the within many miles of the Scilly Islands; an at, the weather being naelerate, she was not driven the re , while on the other hand it is urged, that, f rom the haziness of the weather she was nut . awitre that she distance of the St. Agnes' was s o n e ar until too late, the refraction of light de- eeiving them as to the light ; and the /current, which is very strong there having set them down only and runs for Mlle hours in one direction, and three hours in the other, this . _on the, advent •ge a rock.

The public, however, may rest, satisfied that this delay does not arise from any want: jof determination on the part of the Board to bring to ustice and punishment such of them as shall be, proved guilty. Indeed the strict measure which hes been dealt out to officers not charged with frauds, but with inadvertence or deviations from their instruc tions, can leave little hope of escape to those guilty of actual fraud. As an instance, we may cite the case of Mr. Rolls, au officer of the highest character in the department, and against whom no suggestion or alle gation of fraud has been inade—this officer was on o Friday dismissed the service for not having commur:i cated to the Board an overture made to him in 1 F.ote b y a large silk importer in the City. A general pression, however, prevailed in the departnient that M r . Bells had not concealed the fact from a superkr • o fti.

The negotiations for this end could only be successfully carried out by the most vigilant caution and absolute reserve; and the Di• rectors were, for the first tune, made cognizant of the actual state of affairs, on Friday the 7th instant, when called upon to • confirm the arrangements de vised by Mr. Smith. It is, therefore, a source of great satisfaction to the Directors to be able to state, that arrangements have been made with the Manchester and Liverpool Dis trict Bank, for rendering available such portion 'of their asset s as will promptly liquidate every demand, and for affording all reasonable facilities to the cus tomers of the Bank of Manchester. As a means of insuring success in th ese desirable objects, and of pre venting th e p rema t ure sacr ifi c e of property, the Di rectors have felt it th e i r d u ty t o make a call of 21. per share, which they h o p e will, on due consideration, be promptly responded to y the Shareholders. They are sorry to be obliged to report, that Mr. Burdekin, who has for many years been connected with the Bank, has recently absconded, and has misap lied the endorsement of the Bank to his own purposes. It has not been possible to ascertain the extent of these fraudulent transactions ; h u t the Directors are in hopes that they will n o t excee d the amount for which his sureties are liabl e; an d t h e y can only pro mise, that no exertion s h a ll b e want i ng o n their part to bring Mr. Burdeki n an d hi s confe d era tes to account. In submitting so deplorable an exposition of mis management, the Directors, or at least that p ortio n o f the board who we re i n office previous to the last ge neral meeting, ca nno t b u t f ee l that they have exposed themselv • to the seveie3t anim a d vers ions, for having so fatally misplaced th e i r con fi dence in a Managing Committee; and the only argument es which they can offer in proof of thei r having * themselves been deceived . and extenuation of that which they so bitterly re gret, is the fact that they have been, and are still, among the largest Shareholders, and consequently among the heaviest suftrers. The Directors who retire by ro tation are—Mr. John Spenzer, Mr. Joh n Hall, and Mr. John Potter; who will be proposed for re-election. Since the last meeting, Mr. Thomas Rae, Mr. John Brown, Mr.. John B. Smith, and Mr. Richard Roberts, have re signed their seats; and the Directors have supplied their respective vacancies by the election of Mr. William Haynes, Mr. Willim Hill, Mr. William Smith, and Mr. William S. Steil all of whom will be summated for the approval of this meeting. The vacancy occasioned by the removal of Mr. Burdekin remains to be supplied by the Shareholders, and the Board would beg leave to submit the name of Mr. Thomas 011ivant for their consideration. •In conclusioA, the Directors have to state, that, at a preliminary meeting of some of the principal Share holders and the Directors, h e ld on Friday the 7th in stant, it Was resolved to anti c i pate the wis h es o f t h e general body, by the appointment of Messrs. I Bur ton, Thomas Onivant, and Alexander Bannerman, to undertake the examination Of the accounts, of which the summary is now submitted. These gentlemen will, no doubt, be prepared to express to the meeting their opinion as to their corre c t ness. It was also decided to recommend to the share . - holders the dissolution of the Company, and the ne cessary steps are in progress for convening a special general meeting for the purpose. —By order of the Board. After the reading of the Report, a very long discus sion ensued, which was begun by a Mr. GjtkaG. He made a serious attack on the Managing Directors, in cluding Mr. J. B. Smith and a Mr. Roberts, and con cluded by making these observations :—There really. must be a stop put to the wholesale degraded system which we have got into; and I say that there could be no better plan adopted to willingli give five Punish the offenders, erected over the than ßank th o a f t a Manchester,pillc: Mould occupy the top statiou- - those Directors hou in ld N t % ) , e hich who have plundered the bank so grossly likeness of he who y to be below rys expect nothing else than oN i t i h a e a n i l i , bs s o u o r i m ld o e u d n t t o ec a l —and rather than n " o 'i t t i l l i er a c c o a t s i t nt i r r 7, l s l l i io w li t , h g . e fou l l u . d fa i e th e r s s , one for the Committee of Managmnent. another for the Directors, another for the Shareholders, and an other for the Public, if it could be considered that he ltthaed thingon ea t should ft all—(clinch (faiNili't,iclh wouldlau gh , t ,o e i r . 3 ) , J say that there has been a serious fault lcommitted or ten pounds towards it.—(lieur, bear.` by the Di- rectors, in keeping that man so long in his situation — (Cries of " Hear, hear")—ura_ess his character had been very different indeed to what it before this was known to w h o was not present at the be in Manchester.
