The Bank of England Return for the week end ing the 4th inst. is exceedingly unfavourable, as will be seen by the subjoined particulars. In the bullion the decline is nearly a million sterling, owing to the withdrawal on account of the Bank of France. The other securities, and the reserve of notes, in consequence of the severe pressure for money, have undergone a material change. The next statement, however, is likely to be still more unsatisfactory.

It was supposed that the unfavourable Bank of England Return would have had a depress ing effect, but, beyond a little flatness anterior to the official opening of the market, this was not the case.

O bserve —opposite the York Hotel By her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent for valuable and extraordinary improvements in the most powerful and brilliant Telescopes, Camp, Racecourse, opera, and Per spective Glasses, to know the distances. These telescopes possess such extraordinary powers that some three and a-half inches, with an extra eye-piece, vein show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring, and the double stare. With the same telescope can be seen a person's countenance three miles and a half distant, and an object from 16 to 20 miles. They are of larger and all sizes, with increasing powers accordingly Royal Exhibition, 1851. Valuable, newly-invented, very small, powerful waistcoat-pocket glass, the size of a walnut, by w him, a person can be seen and known 1 miles distant ; they answer every purpose on the race-course, and at the opera houses, country scenery, and ships are clearly seen at 8 to 10 miles, They are invaluable for shooting, deer -stalking, yachting, t o sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists.

The sales were estimated at 15,000 bales (of which 6,000 were taken by the exporters and 6,000 by speculators). The Railway share Market closed with a firm feeling, and TA fair amount of business was trans acted. Accounts from the grain market at Brussels state that there were larger arrivals than usual yesterday, which caused a further decline in prices, but the sales were of limited extent, as the buyers expect to have grain cheaper before the end of the month. The ruling prices were 31 fr. to 34 fr. per hec tolitre for wheat; 18fr. to 20fr. per ditto for rye; and 7 fr. to 8 fr. for oats. From the imports re turns of grain into Belgium, it appears that the gross amount is much greater this year than it was during 1855, at the same time the large quantities which have been trarrimitted to the interior reduce the actual amount to about the same. This is the case parti cularly at Antwerp, where the imports are chiefly conveyed by railway into the neighbouring states. The following table gives the imports of cereals during the last fortnight of September and the nine months ended on the 30th of that month :—. 16th to 30th Sept. Ist Jan. to 3)th Sept. Kilos. Kilos.

This bankrupt was described as of St. George's Wharf, Cambridge-street, St. Pancras-road, contractor ; and to day came up to pass his last examination on accounts prepared by Messrs. Paul and Turner. The halailce sheet commences January, 1854, with a surplus of 1,7561 13s. Bd. ; and he now owes to creditors, unse cured, 1,8911. 17s. The assets are doubtful, the property being in the hands of creditors. The creditors holding security. are set down at about 2,500/. ; and the property held by the creditors will not realise the amount, as a creditor for 8001., holding property of the nominal value of 2,8001., had only realised 5001., in consequence of the depreciation in value of the property. Mr. Chidley appeared for the assignees, and said that the case had been adjourned in order to obtain an ac count of the bankrupt's transactions with a Mr. Gore, and an account had been obtained from the latter, who, however, had since died, and legal proceedings, which had been taken, had in consequence been abandoned. The accounts were by no means satisfactory, but, at the same time, the assignees did not consider any advantage would arise from a further adjournment. The bankrupt then passed.

ASSAULT AND ROBBERY.—Michael Hyam, 21, Daniel Cohen, 30, and Fiances his wife (who had an infant in her arms) were charged before Alderman Wire, with an assault and robbery, under the following circumstances : It appeared from the evidence that Mrs. Bechnell, who lives in Cock-hill, New•street, and keeps a brothel, went last night between 12 and 1 o'clok to a public. house close by for some ale, when she saw the prisoner Hyams, who used very obecene language to her, and di rected her to fetch her husband that he might fight him. She declined, when he struck her and knocked her down. Cohen and his wife were there and a regular scuffle ensued, but she was unable to say if they struck her. In the melee she lost five gold rings from her fin gers, and her gold watch and chain, and her ear-rings. She was very much bruised and injured. On getting home she found her watch down the bosom of her dress. Her ear-rings, which cost two guineas each and three of her finger-rings, were afterwards found in the street crushed to pieces. Richard Mead, a costermonger, was disturbed by the noise in the street, and on looking out of window he saw the prisoners and several others kicking Mrs. Bechnell ou the ground. He went to her assistance, and was roughly bundled. In the souffle Cohen robbed him of 375. Mrs. Cohen ran indoors for a poker, and on coming out said to her husband, "Here Dan, knock the - brains out." After some further evidence, proving an assault on the police, The prisoners, in their defence, denied the robberies, and said that they were all drunk together at the public. house, and that they knew not h ow t h e row commenced, The prisoners called witnessea in support of their assertions, and their evidence went to prove that all the parties were in a disgraceful state of drunkenness, and that their conduct generally as well as that of Mrs. Bechnell was most reprehensible. 1.1.4 Mr. Alderman Wire, after a lengthened and patient investigation of the case, said that it was evident a most disgraceful row took place last night, in which the complainant and prisoner took part, but he did not think the evidence sufficient to substantiate the charge of rob bery. Ile discharged Mrs. Cohen. Daniel Cohen he fined 20s. or 14 days' imprisonment, for being drunk and disorderly ; and Michael Hyam, 20s. or 14 days, for being drunk and disorderly, and also 103. or 7 days, for assaulting the police. 137 The prisoners were locked up. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. GARROTTING A CRIMEAN OFFICER. —Jane Walton and James Welch, two notorious bad characters, were brought before Mr. Beadon, charged with garrotting and robbing Mr. William Maclise, surgeon of the 22d Regiment of Foot, recently returned from the Crimea, and now re aiding at No. 1, Francis•street, University Hospital. The prosecutor stated that, on the previous night, about 12 o'clock, he was proceeding along Church-street, Soho, when the female prisoner came up and accosted him, and while be was walking and talking to her, the male prisoner suddenly rushed upon him from behind, and with his bands seized him by the throat, aad at tempted to strangle him. He then threw witness on his back, and the woman, with another woman, not in cus tody, knelt upon hit breast, and took his watch, a silver one worth 81., from his waistcoat pocket. They then ran away, and as soon as prosecutor recovered himself he went in pursuit, and came up with them just as they were being stopped by two constables in plain clothes. In reply to Mr. Beadon, the prosecutor said he was convinced the prisoner was the man who first attacked him. Joy, 338 A, said about half-past twelve o'clock last night he saw the prosecutor and the female prisoner walking in Churzli-street, and he heard the prosecutor exclaim, " For God's sake, where are you going to take me ?" This circumstance aroused his suspicions, and he followed them to Compton-street, where they were joined by the male prisoner, who spoke to the woman, and walked away. The woman then took the pro secutor to the dark side of the enclosure in Soho square, where they remained until the constable on that beat had passed. The male prisoner then joined them again, and went with the prosecutor into Falcon berg mews. Witness, who was still close to them, then saw the male prisoner rush upon the prosecutor, and put his arms round his neck, and fling him to the ground. The woman, with another man, who made his escape, then threw themselves upon the prosecutor. Witness, who had in the meanwhile procured the assistance of another constable, then made his appearance, and after a despe rate struggle succeeded in taking the prisoners into cus tody. Police Constable 335 A. went to the assititanco of last witness, and took charge of the female prisr,ner. He subsequently searched the mews, and close by where he had taken the woman he found the silver watoh pro• duced. The prosecutor identified the watch as his property. The prisoners, who declined saying anything in do. fence, were fully committed for trial. THAMES. MURDEROUS ASSAULT BY GUNMAKERS.—John Wicks, a youth aged 16, and Samuel Cawsey, 25, were brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with committing a savage assault on John Meredith, who appeared in court with terrible bruises on .his face, his eyes blackened and his head cut. It appeared that all the parties were gunmakers, in the employ of Mr. Bond, of Cornhill, and who has a factory for the manufacture of arms in Whitechapel. Some quarrel had taken place in the factory between Meredith, on one side, and the prisoners on the other. Last night almost immediately after the complainant had left the factory, he was attacked by the prisoners, who were lying in ambush, and so very suddenly, that the complainant had not time to defend him self. He receiv ed a g r eat many blows from the prisonerswb struck at hi t r i g h t and left with their clenched fists, knocked him down, kicked him, and reduced him to a state of insensibility. Several bystinders described the assault as one of the most cowardly and atrocious nature. The prisoners seemed as if they would him when down. It was also stated that never leave off beating him with their clenched fiats c an A d wa k e i y ck w in a g s a fighting man, from Bi rming h am, an d had "double up " the complai nan t an d d ose his eyes. threatened to oinuld' a solicitor,efence th a t hi s &lents had been who appeared for the the complai nan t. A gent l eman grosslyr i M so r n . e C r sih,nasurulrelgtseeYdd by calle&tipon Cawsey at the factory where ho was em ployed for a re ference, end, after arrangements had been made between them , Cawsey asked his friend, Mr. Dug. n ai department, a v r i t e m w eet, t the. f o a ok him ctory2 and, a ft er s h ow i ng hi m hi s own to that in which Meredith was at work. Meredith immediately ordered Cawsey and his friend off the premises, and threatened Cawsey that if he did not go be would kick him out, and shoved Cawsey, which was returned. Meredith having a shovel in his hand, struck Cawsey a slight blow on the shoulder. Meredith's son then rushed at Cawsey and butted him in the mouth, cut his lip and nose, and he fell down. At night, when they were all coming out of the factory, Cawsey " pitched into" Meredith, and the younger defendant, Wicks, " pitched into" Meredith's son. Several witnesses were called for the defence, who partially made out what Mr. Young urged is defence 53f 4} Si 9 231 31. 30 1044 3i 101 100 j 164 102 U 758 6i 48i St. St. 5 10 It. 100 100 100 100 St 13 1 ' 20 St. St. St. St' 107 , 44 100 all all 100 100 100 100 l an . l Bt. 10 10 Bt.

Mr. Selfe characterised the assault as one of a most dastardly and savage nature, and doubted whether be ought not to commit the prisoners for tria►. lle fined them 51. each, and in default of payment one month's imprisonment.

LORD LYON'S FLAGSHIP.—A. letter from Admiral Lord Lyon's flag-ship, the Royal Albert, 121, dated "Bosphorus, 29th of September," contains the folio ‘y ing passage ;—" The steamers are just returning to the Black Sea Russia not having fulfilled the tr ea ty." The po lice in Naples are busy in organising lazzaroni, and making them ready for action—that is to say, for plundering. The chief mover in these exertions is the Queen herself, who constantly urges her royal husband to rely upon his faithful people, and not to give way to the demands of those " infernal monsters, commonly called Napoleon 111. and Viscount Palmerston." THE ROYAL MAIL STEAMER TAY.—The two contra. dictory messages respecting this steamer are reconciled by supposing that the statement that the Tay was totally wrecked was owing to a mistake in conveying the mes sage, and that after she went ashore she was got off and taken back to Tampico. There is some slight hope that the Tay is not wholly lost. THE ELECTION FOB THE CLERKENWELL INCUMBENCY. —The election of an incumbentfor this parish took place last evening, at the Vestry-hall, Upper Rosoman-atreet; Mr. Pascall in the chair. After considerable discussion it was resolved that the mode of taking the votes adopted on the election of Chairman of the Metropo litan Board of Works should be observed. The Roy. Mr. O'Brien, the Rev. Mr. Ball, and the Rev. Mr. Lister, were respectively struck off the list, and the con• test rested between the popular candidates, the Rev. Mr. M'Guire and the Rev. Mr. Roberts. On the final show of bands the former was elected by a majority of 15, the numbers being 40 and 25. The election caused the greatest excitement in the parish, and the result was received by a large concourse of persons assembled out side the hall with loud cheers. LIMEHoUSE CHURCH,—This very beautiful church is now nearly restored. A *public meeting was held last evening to make, it is hoped, the last effor to raise the sum of 1,5001., being all that is new required to com plete it. Mr. Duncan Dunbar presided. The report was read by Mr. Jobe Dicker, the honorary secretary, and confirmed. The chairman then rose, and observed that although he did not belong to the Church of England, yet he had always felt a warm interest in the parish. He was born in it, had lived in it many years, and had made all his money in it. After expa tiating on the propri e ty of giving a mply, he conclud e d by announcing a subs cr iption of 400 guineas, and at th e same time mentioned that Mr. Henry Green hal offered a donation of the same amount. The resolutions were ably spoken to by-Mr. Coroner Baker, Mr. Churchwar den Skillett, the Rev. J. Boswell, J. E. Richards, A..). Ram, Weal', by Messrs. J. Dowson, B. Dixon, and other Influential gentlemen. Daring the evening the sum of 7001. was collected, the balance now required being 8001. After a vote of thanks to , the chairman by the rector, the Bev. E. R. Jones, the meeting termi minated, It is true that public attention has been drawn to the Unity General recently, but it is also true that so far as regards its constitution, its principles, or its resources, not one word has been uttered or written which denies to it the possession of elements fir securing great success as a commercial institution, and consequently conferring benefits on the public generally. It would indeed be difficult to show that the Unity General, with its sub scribed capital of 347,6001., with its paid-up capital of 86,9001., its proprietary comprising nearly two thousand persons of great respectability, ramifying throughout the country, its comprehensive principles, its local boards of management and agents, extending, as they do, through out the United Kingdom and the colonies, its gross annual premium income of 45,0001., arising from 4,211/. policies issued in less than sixyears, assuring 1,413,6081., can bo seriously affected by an honest quarrel, on a point of principle only, between the directors and myself. It would be very wrong indeed to forget, or even to under rate, the value of these facts connected with the Unity General. They secure to it a future that will be perfectly satisfactory to the shareholders, and provide advantages to assurers of a practical and liberal cha racter. The results of the Unity General may safely be regarded as being of a most cheering character. The financial resources are ample; the investments are good; the lives under assurance are selections most ably and carefully made ; and the business has been obtained from those parts where experience has proved it to be of the safest and most eligible description. The report about to be presented to the shareholders at the approaching meeting on the 21st October will disclose more fully the progress of the institutior , during the past year; therefore I need not now dwell w any greater length on that subject. I would prefer soli citing the connections of the Unity Associations to support the large interests involved. L e t th em d e t erm i ne on doing this individually, and I am quite sure that the business of the Unity General will not only be main tained, but that it will be rapidly extended.—l remain, dear sir, yours very truly, THOMAS H. BAYLIS, Manager. P.S.—lt is requested that all communications on the business of the association may in future be directed to me at the chief offices, Unity-buildings, Cannon -street. THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK.--MP. J. MACGBEGOR, M.P.'s EXPLANATION. ---- -411. TO THE EDITOR OF THE GLASGOW DAILY NEWS. air,--With respect to the calumnies which have been charged against me, I need only advert to a simple narrative of facts. First, I was neither the proj•ctor nor founder of the British Bank. Mr. Men zies was the projector. Messrs. Mullens and Paeldi• son, and Mr. Moxbay, then proprietors of the Com• mercial Hall, were those who first proposed to me to become a director, while I was residing at Brighton, to which place Mr. Mullens, Mr. Menzies, and other. came to persuade me to assist them to get a charter. I refused. Afterwards, on the ground that industrious traders, art , zang, and shopkeepers bad no banking foe • lilies in London as in Scotland, I very imprudently con sented to become a director. Mr. Moxhay died soon after, and the Commercial Hall, which he proposed should become the property of the Bank, he taking the value in share-, was abaud med. Then the p rem i ses , occupie d previously by the once great firm of Reid, Irving, and Co., were taken and fitted up as a banking house. The boird room was up stairs ; the manager's room and th , whole business transacted on the ground floor. I relied implicitly on the manager and Mr. Marne. They on the weekly board day placed before the board a statement of the affairs of the Bin): ; and tip to the time I left the direction I believed everything correct. ,Neither I , nor any other d rector, as far a' I am aware, knew anything of any private book, kept by the manager, nor could I know the perm! s in the city whose paper was worthy of being dis c motel. Danneller and Scales were represented by the manager, on the authority of an eminent gentle man in the Bank of England, as fully trustworthy. This led to the disastrous advances on their coal and iron works in Wales, and which, so long as I was a director, I urged should be realised, instead of at• tempting to work them. A similar attempt, on the part of the Bank of England having utterly failed— a second blunder was, advancing on the security of Westminster Improvetnent Bonds—a third was, on the shares of the Islington Cattle Market•—a fburth was, to a shipowning firm, Oliver of Liverpool. Of the value of such securities, I could know nothing ; therefore, I became convinced, but too late, that in the City of London, as is, I believe, the true and practicable custom in Glasgow, no one should be a director of a bank but a city man of business. For it was, and is, impossible for a purely west-end man to know who ought, or ought not, to be trusted. It was under these convictions that I separated myself from all joint-stock connections. As regards liabi iies to the Royal British Bank, I deny the amount of debit, either legally or equitably ; and ter any legal debit, of which, when I can ascertain the details—which I cannot for some days—there are numerous offsets, as transferred new three per cents in the Bank of England, 1,0001. then at 05i ; 5001 stock at par; other securities, valued each at from 3001. to 4001. ; two valuable life policies, that cep:- cially of a very old one, in the Law, for 1,0001. to which several large bonuses have been added.

Mr. John Marshall presided, and Mr. W. Price chief engineer of her Majesty's yachts, was vice-president. The Retribution, 28 guns, paddle-wheel steam-frigate, Capt. Charles Barker, left Sheerness at 6 a.m. yesterday, under orders to call at Portsmouth for her final instruc tions. It is reported that she is first to join the allied squadron to proceed to the Bay of Naples, and afterwards to proceed to the China seas. A party of officers and noblemen —namely, his Excel lency Count dell'Alberese, Marquis Sanay de Nerli, Che valier Lanzone, Lieut. Silvatici, Commandant de Fresco bahli, and Signor Antinori, members of the Government of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, paid a visit to Woolwich on Wednesday. They first visited the dockyard, and, having gone over the floating battery Thunderbolt, and in spected the various basins and docks, they proceeded to the Arsenal, where they spent upwards of three hours. Yesterday morning three companies of the Royal Artillery Corps returned to head-quarters from Dover and Dublin, and draughts from Carlisle and Teigntnouth, were paraded in front of the barracks at Woolwich, in command of Colonel Kennedy and Captain and Adjutant Green, of the 14th battalion. At half-past 10 o'c:ock Major-General Williams and staff rode down the lines, and went through a careful inspection of the men and their accoutrements. The General afterwards, accompanied by Lieut.-Colonel Teesdale, his aide-de-camp, and staff, repaired to the su s impment at the extremity of Woolwich-common, and inspected tho field-battery troops, the whole of whom marched past on their return from morning exercise on Pluinstead-common. Colonel Brown, Commandant of the Woolwich division of Royal Marines, yesterday morning returned to Wool wich, at the expiration of a month's leave of absence, and resumed the command of his division. The screw steam storeship Hesper, having been hastily repaired and manned with seamen riggers and supernume raries from the Commodore's ship Fisgard, under the com mand of Master Mugford, sailed yesterday morning from Woolwich, for Portsmouth, to embark provisions, for Madeira and the Cape Verde Isles. The paddlewheel troopship Dee, Master Pullen com manding, arrived at Woolwich on Thursday night from Portsmouth. • The transport Rhea Sylvia arrived at Woolwich yester day morning with a cargo of medical comforts, fire-engines, and provisions from the East, which she is to discharge at the Victoria-docks. lt appears from an official return of the number of troops who have been discharged from Chatham garrison since the reduction which has taken place in the army that during the quarter ending the 30th of September last 1,238 non-commissioned officers and men left the invalid establishment. Of this number 789 were discharged from the service as being altogether unfit for any further mili tary duty, and 4-49 convalescents left St. Mary's Barracks for the purpose of rejoining the depot companies of their respective regiments in various parts-of the United King dom. Major-General Sir R. Airey, 1i..C.13.; the Quartermas ter-General, has directed that no inure invalids are to be forwarded to the depot at Chatham until after the 17th inst., that establishment being very crowded. The number of invalids now stationed there is 1,700. Thu detachment of the Engineer Corps of the Turkish Contingent now employed at Chatham garrison, under the command of Captain Allan, in depositing .the Engineers' stores brought home from the _Crimea in the Ordnance stores at the Guu-wharf, have not yet completed this duty, owing to the vast quantity of war stores to be unshipped laid deposited, and it is expected that some weeks will elapse before all the articles are returned into store. The war materials already placed in the Ordnance stores in clude pontoons, waggon trains, and an immense quantity of trenching tools —sufficient, in fact, for a complete army. ART TREASURES EXHIBITION, 185 7. Since our last notice the Marquis of Salisbury has ex tended his former liberal offer, and placed a more extended list cf treasures at Hatfield at the disposal of the conk. iuittee. It is gratifying to find that the labours of the committee are bringing to light a very. much more exten sive collection of the specimens of the great masters of the very early Italian and German schools than wo were sup posed to possess in this country, and that the owners of these unique and most valuable worki are almost without exception tendering the choicest of them for the use of th• exhibition. In accordance with the liberality of Prince Albert in placing the whole of his collection of early pic tures at the disposal of the committee, Mr. Davenport Bromley, among others, promises some pictures of remark able value and rarity, including a Cosimo Roielli, a Vic. c3nzo Pagani, a Bagna Corvallo, a Girolarao Cotignola, and an Innocence da Imola. Mr. Fuller Maitland con tributes the greater portion of a somewhat long list of pictures which were selected from his collection. It includes a Byzantine picture, representing the death of St. Ephraim Lyrus, a Taddo Gaddi (small altar piece), au Angelico da Fiesole (Entombment of the Virgin), a Fra Fillippo Lippi small imciella pic ture), a Cosimo Roselli (large altar-piece), a F. Gra nacci (Virgin Enthroned), a Sano di Pietro (St. Peter re storing Tabitha), and a Sandie Botticelli (Adoration of the Kings). Mr. Beresford Hope offers a remarkably fine picture by Vandyck, among others one from the King of Holland ; and also volunteers to the committee a large oil painting by the modern German artist, Overbeck. Mr. Joseph Henry Green, late Professor of Anatomy of the Royal Academy in London, offers to contribute a singu larly.interesting selection of pictures, including some of the very early schools —a Quintin Matsys as well as two fine specimens of modern art by Stothard and Dyce. Since the preparations for the Exhibition commenced there has been scarcely any more remarkable example of a desire to do everything to further the object in view than has been evinced by the Earl of Warwick, UM Earl of Darnley, Earl Craven, Mr. Smith Barry, of Marbury-hall, Cheshire, and Mr. T. ,Well Blundell, of Ince, near Liverpool. To each of these noblemen and gentlemen applications were made by the committee, framed in accordance with the generally known records of their valuable collections. In such instances the full list of works thus asked for have been roost liberally granted, anti accompanidil by an inti mation that in the judgment of their owners th ere were other speci mens i n their co:iections which would add at traction and interest to the Exhibition. dinecalnwinulaeciumtutraheres. - TESTIMONIAL TO SIR WILLIAM GORDON, BAT.T., OF EARLSTON.—The sub*,criberii to this testimonial have re solve.l to present to Sir William a portrait, by a first class., artist, of himself and his charger ; and to devote the remainder of the subscription to remounting with hilt and scabbard the good blade which he wore at Balaklava.

The following circular has been allressed to the shareholders Unity General Assurance Association, Chief offi ces , Uoity-hni!din gs 8 and 10, Cannon. strt.et, City, London, 10th October, 185 g. Dear Sir,—l have great pleasure in announcin ,, to you that the directors and myself have been enab'e'd to enter into an arrangement, wher!iby I have resumed my official pasition as manager of this institution. In acquainting you of this fact it is right I should re mark that the differ-trice of the past could n o t viss ib !y have arisen on either side, exclr, with a view to serviip , the interests of the institution. There could be no other object, and while I readily admit that the directors acted, as I believe, solely on this principle, I thi c k I may claim for myself an equally disinterested feeling. 11 , ppily a consciousness of this has enable.l us to . m u . tually agree t o a pply our energ i es an d thoughts !ti re organising the resources of the institution, with a view to bringing them to bear favourably on its career. It is my sincere wish and intention to do this as far as I possibly can, and I trust the share and policy-holders, the local boards of management, local managers and agents will rightly estimate the great Institution they are identified with, and render the management the large amount of support within their reach, and which will be so eminently desirable at the present moment. - The disturbance that has lately occurred in the affairs of the inaitivion is rot without its advantaef , . The public will have seen that there is a firmness of pur pose in the executive which is necessary to the well-being of a public association, and viewing the past in the most unfavourable light, it is quite apparent that no causes whatever existed which prevented the directors and my self, who have acted officially together for several years, from asserting our views, although opposite in ethracter, publicly as well as in the board-room. The directors had nothing to conceal, nor had L There fore we each proved something, which, if rightly esti mated, presents a fact of some value to those interested in the undertaking.
