MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK, Discount firms are finding good employment for their money. The demand for accommodation is general and very active, and brokers are enabled to obtain the full charge of 4 per cent. for the best short-dated bills. Besides the want of capital for trade which continues to show favourable signs of expansion, large sums are being daily absorbed for the new loans and joint stock companies. The opinion, therefore, that money must ere long be dearer is founded upon good data. The directors of the Land Mortgage Bank of India will proceed to make the allotment as early as possible, but in cocscquence of the unprecedented number of applications, a delay of some days must necessarily elapse before the letters can be posted. The report of the intended appearance of a similar undertaking is incorrect. The progress of business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days has been moderately active. Tea, sugar, and coffee have each been in fair request at fully late prices. RICO has been dull, while the operations in the tal low market have been o❑ a limited scale for both present and former delivery at about previous quo tations. The Committee of the Stcck Exchange have ap pointed the 16th inst. fora special settlement in the shares of the following undertakings; the first two are only to be officially marked :—The scrip of the 6 per cent. Colombian Government Loan ; the Lon don and Paris Hotel Company ; the Clarence Hotel Company ; the Nice Hotel Company, and the A shares of the Commercial Navigation Company of India. Two O'CLOCK. No alteration has occurred this morning in the English Stock Market, although the business trans acted has been rather large than for the past two days. Consols, however, are somewhat heavy, at their former values, being 924 93 for money, and 9 3 4 4 for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 911 ; Bank Stocir. is 233 235 ; Exchequer Bills remain at par to 3s. prem. ; and the 30 Years Annuities, 14.1. The 5 per Cent. India Loan is 108 i 109 ; the 4 per Cent. Enfaced Paper, 984 ; and the Debentures are 99i 1001. There is more quietude and steadiness in the Foreign Market to-day, the operations being very curtailed. Turkish 6 per Cents. 1858, are 701-1 ; do., 1862, 711 7 do., Consolides, 531 a ; Greek, 331 34; do., Coupons, 151 161; Mexican, 421-; Spanish Passive, 344 35; do., Certificates, 131 14k; Internal Passive, 30 1 ; Portuguese, 491 ; Italian, 721 ; Russian, 931 ; Egyptian, 1004 101 ; the Confederate Loan, 63 65 ; and the Colombian Lean, par to * prem. In the Railway Share Market the operations have been of the most limited description, and prices have generally shown a downward move ment. Caledonian and South Eastern have receded Es., and Stockton and Darlington, 10s. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have been in very limited favour at barely previous rates. Bank Shares have remained inactive. Hindus tan, China, and Japan have receded to 271-; Lon don Joint Stock, to 36/; Standard of British South Africa, to 231 ; India Land Mortgage Bank are quoted 31 4 prem. ; Anglo-Austrian, 1 prem. ; Privileged Bank of Austria, par; and East Lon don, 1/ to 2 prem. In the Miscellaneous Market Royal Mail Steam shares are steady at 74 7.5 ; and Discount Corpora tion are quoted 3/ 3/ prem. BRITISH FUNDS —CLOSING PRICES. Ban.? x Stock 233 5 3 per Cent.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.---This Day, COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE BAKER--A BETTING MAN IN A DIFFICULTY. This bankrupt was described as of Notting-hill, out of business, and this was a meeting for last examination and discharge. On the case being first called on the bankrupt did not answer, and Mr. Godfrey, from the office of Mr. Aldridge, said that he understood that the bankrupt was a betting man, and had gone to the races; and after waiting for up wards of half an hour his Honour ordered an adjournment sine die, but shortly afterwards the bankrupt entered the court and declared that he had been about the place all the morning, into Mr. Cotnmissioner Holroyd's Court, round about, and was rot aware that his Honour was sitting In this (Hr. Commissioner Fonblampe',) Court; besides, he was almost dead and almost blind. His Honour saia that eyesight had very little to do with it, and he might have heard his nave After further delay, Mr. Aldridge having arrived, his Honour consented to hear the case. Mr. Aldridge said the bankrupt wars a betting man, and he had been required to furnish a cash account from January, V 63, and he now accounted for £:,80 won on Maccarooi, and losses to about the same amount, He (Mr. Aldridge) did not see that any further information could be obtained. The solicitors to the petitioning creditors were of the same opinion. The bankrupt, in answer to questions by the learned Commissioner, said he only betted slightly, and did. a little on commission. He was not a professional betting man, bat did it because he was out of business. He had been in trade as a corn and seed merchant, and failed in 1859, owing £15,000, and he assigned property which realised £4,500, but some of the creditors would not accept the com position ; others had received 4s. 6d. in the pound. His Honour, under these circumstances, considered the bankrupt was entitled to his discharge. RE C kTON. This bankrupt is a cheneille and umbrella manufacturer, of Chester-street, Spitalfields, and this was a meeting for examination and discharge. Mr. W. R. Buchanan, Basinghall-street, was for the bankrupt, who passed without opposition, LITERATURE, The iEneid of Virgil ; In English Blank Verse. By John Miller. One vol., pp. 508. Macmillan and Co. The circumstances under which this remarkable translation of Virgil's great epic masterpiece, has been written and published are 'very peculiar. It was penned as the solace to a bitter grief, by one who has conspicuously evidenced, through this very medium, his ripened scholarship, and his many rare natural endowments. A foot note upon one of the fly leaves briifly apprizes the reader that the work afforded its author three years' daily occupa tion. I, appears now posthumously. As in the instance referred to by us only yesterday, when reviewing the posthumous publication of a volume of poems by Mr. Francis Weedon, a young man-of letter.9, prematurely deceased about a year or two since, after the manifestation, by him, of very considerable abilities as an aspirant to literary distinction—so also in the more notable in stance before us, the generous hand of encourage ment appears to have been extended by Lord Macaulay with a view to hearten onwards, thereby, a comparatively humble fellow labourer. It is true that the name of that great Critic, poet, historian, and essayist is not here once mentioned, as that of the one who thought so well of Mr. Miller's daring enter prise, in undertaking to produce, as he has here pro duced, a complete translation into English blank verse of Virgil's !Enid. Macaulay's name, we say, is not here actually given as the promoter or approver of that bold enterprise. But it is, nevertheless, quite plainly enough intimated. No one can be iti one instant's doubt, as to who it is, the editors of the volume under notice actually means, when they re mark, in the course of their few introductory obser vations upon Mr. Miller and his translation, that " he had been moved by the favourable judgment of a late noble critic, justly celebrated as among the ablest of his time, to contemplate its publication." These little unlooked- fer revelations of Lord Macaulay's readiness to allow the claims of a gene rous literary brotherhood to be recognised, are, we cannot but think, very charming indeed to contem plate. They betoken the large sympathies of the great-hearted man, as well as the keen and ready perception of merit of ail kinds and of all degrees, by one whose radiant genius as a critic was so peculiarly formed to appreciate it. In its way, Mr. Miller's translation of " The eEaeid" of Virgil into English blank verse is as extraordi nary a performance as Mr. Worsley's recently com pleted Eoglish version of "The Odyssey" of Homer in the Spenserian stanza. Essentially different of their kind as are these two productions, there is, it appears to us, something very kindred in the endow ments of the two men by whom they have been produced. Mr. Worsley might, w e are satisfied, quite as readily (had he chosen to do so) have syl labled his translation of " The Odyssey" in flowing and melodious blank verse, as Mr. Miller has here done by " The .2E acid." Of this many of that young poetic scholar's other metrical writings yield to us, as it seems, the fullest possible evidence. And so again vice versa might it be said on the other hand, that had Mr. Miller so listed, he, upon his part, might as easily have done by " The 2E acid" as Mr. Worsley has done by " The Odyssey"— turning it, that is to say, from tae original into the stately and elaborate stanza glorified by the genius of Spenser, and thence called after Spenser's name. That it is, in fact, precisely as we have said, let the exquisite Prefatory Stanzas in i this vol ume , be tween pp. xi. and xxiii, (each inclusively) attest. Spenserian stanzas they are — surpassing, for that matter, in their facile grace and beauty even the ablest penned by the accom plished translator of "The Odyssey," And in saying this, we speak not here in any way invi diously —for it should be borne in mind that these Spenserian stanzas by John Miller are the original utterances of his own thoughts and feelings : whereas the Spenserian stanzas referred to, as from the hand of Philip Worsley, are penned throughout by that gifted writer under the weight of all the responsibilities appertaining to a conscientious translator. Turning, however, to the text of this careful translation into English Blank Verse of Virgil's ornate and lovely masterpiece, as it has been here penned deliberately by the able scholar, who expired, it would seem, very soon indeed after its completion, we find it to be as conscien tious as a version, and yet for the most part as unfettered to a slavish conformity to the original, as even the best parts of Mr. Worsley's masterly version of the Odyssey. It would appear, indeed, that Mr. Miller, while turning the har monious verse of Virgil into Eaglish, endeavoured as sedulously to avoid dwindling to the mere, line for line, word for word, bald literalness peculiar to some of the translators of the " eEaeid," as to avoid expanding to the equally reprehensible paraphrase of others. His vigilant glance is turned alternately; equably, intermediately, here to the Scylla, there to the Charybdis. He steers his bark, as a translator, with consummate adroitness and apparently with an easy precision, as remarkable for its nicety as for its precision, that as he passes be tWeeen the two perils where his predecessors have so often suffered shipwreck, he is almost always, so to speak, equedistant from each. In one of our weekly contemporarie s on Saturday, we observe a fragmentary passage of Mr. Miller's version of the " 2E seid" contrasted with the parallel passage from six other earlier versions of the same celebrated ori ginal. These half dozen being in effect the Earl of Surrey's (1557), Phear and Twine's (1607), Dry den's (1685), Pitt's (1740), with two others far more modern, namely, the French of M. Delia° and the English of Dr. Kennedy, well known, this last, to the present generation as the learned head-master of Shrewsbury. The particular passage (a very brief one) selected for this telling contrast or comparison, is no other than that furnished by the opening lines of the second book of the " elleaeid :" lines thus faithfully translated by Mr. Miller, as quoted by the Athenccum Silent were all and turned their eyes intent, When sire )Eneas from his high couch began : 0 mighty Queen, thou orderest to renew Unutterable sorrow ; how the Greeks The Trojan splendours and that hapless realm O'erthrew; those dark calamities which I Both saw and largely shared. We are tempted to transcribe the very same passage thus given by our contemporary, because, in the first instance, we would fain add to the series of contrasts supplied by the Athenceum, another still more apposite in its significance than any of the six already enumerated, to wit the following ; JOHN OGILBY, 1 650. All silent and with deep attention sate, Then thus the Prince spake from his bed of State : Unheard-of griefs, great Queen, you bid renew; How Troy's unhappy Realm the Greeks o'erthrew ; Whose sad destruction I myself have seen, Atd in her loss have no small sharer b een. As literal even as old John Og ilb y's, John Miller's version previously given above, reads, it will be allowed, quite as flowingly. An d Yet—(this being in truth our chief reason for referring to identically the same passage selected by our c ontemporary for quotation)—and yet there are flaws in Mr. Miller's version that we find not even in Oid John Ogilby. That very second line of the second book moves not onward with the trailing swee p o f the Virgilian toga: There being besides that, a j ambl e, so to speak, in the music of the blank ve rse in t he echOing sug gestion of an unintended rhyme, furnished by the C 105.0 of the third line and t he o p eni ng of the sixth in the words renew and o'orthrov. An unlucky fragment in effect, it c ertainl ydoes app ear to us to be—to have been thus selected from this version of the /Eleid, With a view to its espe cial commendation. Rather than that passage in particular we would g i ve by preference alm os t any other. Opening the volume hap-hazard, let us say, for example, this fragment from the ninth book— Euryalus rolled in death ; O'er his fine limbs went forth his blood, and back Upon his shoulder drooped his neck declined : As when a purple flower cut by the share Pales all away in dying; or as when With weary neck the popp i e s droop their h ea d With chance o'etcharged with rain. Enough, however, if we add after that one flavour- OUs morsel, as we may call it, from this ripened fruit of the poetic and scholarly labour of John Miller, the last, and not lust gifted among the many translators of Virgil who bale already lived and died and flourished—enough if we add that, regarded apart from its high merit as a translation, if it can possibly be so regarded, that is apart from those peculiar merits, it is intrinsically, so to speak, as an English p6em, pure and simple—a work that may be read throuhout with delight and re membered afterwards with a long enduring ad miratioa.

WRECK OF A STEAMBOAT ON TEES BAR.—It was reported yesterday in '1 he Sun that the steamer Energy, of Middlesboro', had been totally wrecked on Tees Bar on Saturday last. We also added, on the authority of the Rev. John Lawson, hon. secretary of the Seaton Carew branch (.f the National L;feboat Institution, who wrote late on Saturday evening, that although apprehension had been e ntertained in the morning that the crew of three men of the steamer had been lost, yet that it was subsequently dis covered that the poor men had been picked up by a Prus sian vessel far out at sea, and that they had afterwards been safely brought into the Tees. Some of our morning c ontemporaries of to-day report that the crew had perished, but, happily, such is f.:rtunately not the case. WRECK OF A DUTCH VESSEL ON THE GOODWIN SANDS.—WALAIER, KENT, Monday Night.—Yes terday, while it was blowing hard from the S.S.W., and a hea vy sea was running, signals of distress were observed to b e dying from a vessel on the Goodwin Sands The Widmer lifeboat, of the National Lifeboat Institution, was at once manned, and put off to the help of the crew. On arriving at the Sands, it was found that the vessel was the Ketch a s n ips," of Amsterdam, and that she wss leaking fast, both her pumps being choked. The captain, fearing his vessel would break up, requested the lifeboat to remain by him till his vessel was in safety. The lifeboat assisted in getting the Ketch off the Sands, and the Ramsgate steam tug soon after wa r d s , th e cap t a i n em ployed her to tow Ketch int o th at h arbour, where she arr i ve d a b ou t l with loss of anc h or an d c h a i n .

"Neither you, nor I, nor any other roan," has induced many a foolish fellow to think himself a born wit. " How's your poor feet 1"' a year ago cheated half t he natives of C ockaigne into the belief that they wore gifted wi;h a special gen i us for repartee.

It is not easy for us to swallow conceit and rhodomontade as ' bad as ever Dicken s mimicked. " When it became evident that the Great Dragon (slavery) must be destroyed, with hands outstretched and swords of fire in their hands, they rose like one man, and with a voice which reverberated throughout the whole world, cr i ed, 'Let it, with all its attendant horrors, go to hell!'

LABLACHE.—Of all the great artistes of our day, in every sense of the word, either as regards rotun dity of body, ditto and power of voice, intellect, talent and genius as a n actor, grandeur, and concepti on o f c h arac t ers —either grave or gay—downright, earnest, and good vo calisation, with genuine and unaffected fun, combined with much sterling . sense and depth of vocal organ—give us Lablacho l He was an artiste that any country might be proud of, and the " Lazzaront" may very well smile at us more northern " chanters" for Naples having given birth to so excellent, so grand, an " en - chanter." To add to which, Lablache's mind was pure, enlightened, and noble his feelings hospitable, his hand generous, and his heart good ; by this tribute we mean nothing to the disparage ment of other artistes, such as Dreher°, Rubini, Donzelli, Mario, Ivanhoff, Tamberlik, Dupres, Sims Reeves, Santley, Ronconi, Staudigl, Pischek, Tamburini, &c., most of whom we knew, many intimately—to whom be all honour due — and who, as sterling artistes themselves, we are sure, will agree with us in saying, that with Lablache died the greatest basso singer that ever lived. — hie Orchestra, SINGULAR SUICIDE OF A HIGHLANDER.—On Sunday evening about a quarter past seven o'clock, a nrivate, named William Nicol, belonging to the 92d Highlanders, stationed in the Castle, at Edinburgh, com mitted suicide in St - , Margaret's Loch, Queen's - Par:. Whilst taking a walk with three of his companions—to men and a boy—deceased proposed to bathe in the loch. The night being dark, his companions—namedrespeetively Strathdee, Dove, and Nicol — laughed at the foolish wish, and pro posal, but Nicol insisted on carrying N oat feathered hat, pulling off his tunic and throwing downicol w ho, although a walked into the water. Tae boy namesake, is no relation, called to him, asking if the water was cold, and he replied , " Ycs.,' Stratfoleo then called out received, answer out if he intended retur nin g , but no an he stripped and waded in to tr y and rescue Nicol fie went up to the waist, k eep i ng shouting, bat was oblig e d t o re turn to the embankment on account of the coldness of the w a ter. r On his return Nicol went into the water, while Dove ran to the gamekeeper's lodge at the eastern en t rance to the park for the purpose of getting a lamp and boathook, but nothing of the kind was in the house. The old man gave Dove a piece of candle and a f ew matches, with which he returned to the search for Nicol. A message was sent to Holyrood Palace, and the guard was turned out. A mes sage was next despatched to the police-office, and a boat hook and ropes were immediately sent down, In the mean time a raft was got and search made for the missing man, After a search of two hours the body was found. Deceased was 37 years of age, had been nearly 20 years in the army, an d wore four medals—Crimean, French, Turkish, and Indian —also two good 'conduct badges.

Deeds, wholesale leather sellers, of New Oxford-street, was brought up on remand, charged with embezzling various sums of money, the pro- per ty of his employers. The prisoner, it will be recollected, had been in the service of the firm mentioned for about a year, and his duty was to collect money due to the firm in the usual manner. On the sth of September the prisoner was paid £4, and £6 3s. 6d. on account of his employers, and no entry of the sums was ever made in the proper bookF. On this case he was committed for trial. Sergeant Lambert, of the E division of police, said he had now to prefer another charge against the prisoner, viz., of robbing a former employer, Mr. Doumaril, of 14, Thavies Inn. He had, since the prisoner had been in custody, made certain inquiries, and from information he had received he had discovered property to the amount of £2O or £3O, which had been identified by Mr. Downaril as his property. It consisted of boots, shoes, &o. The prisoner had been en gaged by that gentleman also in the capacity of traveller. He (Sergeant Lambert) had to ask for a remand hi this case. The application was granted, and the prisoner was ordered to bo brought up again this day week. 111 A.RLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBING A LICENSED VICTUALLER.—John Campbell was chargEd before Mr. Knox, with stealing at the Thir • teen Cantons, King•street, Soho, St. Ann's, a coat, pocket book, and other articles of the value of £3, the property of Mr. Henry Hailey, licensed victualler. Mr. Hailey said that about 12 o'clock on the night of the Ist July, he took off his coat, in the pocket of which was his pocket-book and other articles and left them in the bar. Shortly after he missed the articles. Susan Smith, of 22,Compton-streat, deposed to seeing the prisoner leave Mr. Hailey's house on the_uight of the Ist of July with a coat under his arm. William clayey, 55 F, said he was present at the court on the 10th Sept., when the prisoner was convicted of felony, and sentenced to a month's imprisonment. Mr. Knox committed the prisoner for trial. THE BUSINESS or THE COURT.—Owing to the admirable arrangements commenced and carried out by Mr. Knot of beginning the business of the court at 10 o'clock every morning, the night charges are now disposed of much earlier than they used to be, and persons having to attend the court, whether as applicants, prosecutors, complainants, or witnesses, are not kept waiting on about the court un necessarily. To the members of the police force it is a great boon, as thcse who have been on night duty are enabled to reach their homes much earlier; and not the least of the advantages of the present punctuality of com mencing the proceedings is the fact that the pavement in front of the court is not occupied half the day by a crowd of persons anxious to hear the fate of their friends or acquaint. ances. THAMES. THUMB KISSING.—A DOUBIFUL CASE.—Eleanor Birthright, a very intelligent and respectable young woman, the wife of a labourer who is at present dwelling at 1, Lee street, Stratford, appeared on het recognisances before Mr. Partridg e t o answer t h e charge of assaulting an aged Irish man named Jeremiah Cronin and breaking his leg. The affray which led to the present investigation occurred on the 6th of August last, at 1, Payne's-buildings, Old Ford, Bow, where the prisoner and her husband occupied a room. The landlady of the house was the daughter of the man Cronin, and between her and the prisoner there was a quarrel. The old man came by while the " debate," as he called it, was going on, and said, "What is this about ?" The prisoner said, " Wh at is that to you, you old --- He replied, "If I was the landlord I would soon have you out." The prisoner said " You would, would you, you old —I " His old woman (wife) was alongside of him, and the prisoner put her out of the passage of the house down several steps, and she was only saved from injury by falling on a boy who was passing, The prisoner then came back and put her hands on the shoulders of the old man and shoved him down the steps. He fell on the pavement and put his hip out. He was raised by the bystanders and carried to the London Hospital, where ho remained under medical treatment until Tuesday, the 30th ult, He was carried into court by policemen and seated in a chair, and it is probable from his advanced age (upwards of 80 years) he will be a cripple for the remainder of his days. Several witnesses, including the prosecutor's wife, con firmed his statement, and gave their evidence in a very exaggerated style. Mrs. Cronin refused to take the book in her hand when it was tendered to her, and said she took the oath on a former occasion. Mr. Partridge said she must take the oath again ; and when it was administered to her, and she was desired to kiss the testament, she spread her thumb over the book and kissed that. The prisoner respectfully Palled the magistrate's attention to the evasion, and said, " Please, sir, she kissed her thumb." The old woman scowled at the prisoner, groaned repeatedly as if she was in great distress of mind, and said she had not kissed her thumb. Mr. Joseph Smith, Mr. Charles Young, soli citors, and the captain of a ship, seated at the table, said the witness had kissed her thumb. She was desired to kiss the book, and again kissed her thumb on the book. Mr. Par tridge said the silly artifice of the woman would not ab solve her from her oath, and after she had kissed her thumb a third time amidst derisive laughter in court, the Magis trate said—You must take the oath in a proper manner. After sundry groans and looking about her, she found there was no escape, and kiseed the book. Her evidence con firmed that of her husband, but was different in some mate rial particulars to the evidence she gave two months ago. The prisoner cross-examined the witnesses with much tact ' They answered her snappishly, but she involved them in m any contradic" The prisoner denied that she Was guilt y of the violence imputed mputedther or that she used the offensi ve expressi ons sworn to by the' old man and his witnesses. 'I here was a row going on, in which she had no wish to j o i e , She made her appearance, and the old man called her "a --- English " and said the English had sold his country. She said " ' Mr. Cronin, I know nothing about these matters," and he struck her a blow on the eye. The old man and his wife then dashed at her, and ix trying to shako them off all three rolled down the steps together. She was very sorry the old man was injured, but she was not the cause of it. The occurrence was quite accidental, and all the violence was on the other side. Mrs. Birthright made her defence i n a clear, melo dious voice, and wits great propriety. She left a favour able impression on every one. Iwo respect a bl e witnesses confirmed her in every particular. They saw the old man strike Mrs. Birthright and lay ho'd of her, and the three fell the b d e o e w n n m ad e s t t e o p t s h . A p n ri o s t o h n e e r ro witness the stated part thato,the Cr on i es to ov ertures had settle the matter for £5, and she refused to give any money to thew. Mr. Partridge said it was a very doubtful case indeed, and one that he should send before a jury. He remitted the caso to the Middlesex Sessions, and took bail for the pri soner's appearance there, herself in £3O and two sureties of £25 each. Bail was tendered and accepted, 96 51 The Great Eastern—Meeting of Shareholders in London, The adjourned special general meeting of the shareholders in the Great Ship Company was held at the London Tavern yesterday. A report pre pared by the committee appointed at the last meet ing was read. The following is an extract',:—" The Committee state that they have directed their atten tion to the folio wing :-1. To the exact financial etate of the company. 2. To the state of the ship. 3. To the means of profitably employing her; and lastly, 4, To nn inquiry into the means of relieving the company from financial difficulties. Oa the first head the committee state that they have come to the conviction 'that the statement of the chairman that a peremptory sale was inevitable in 14 days, unless L 30,000 was raised on or before Friday next, the I oth, was a mistake.' As to the state of the ship the committee 52y Without entering minutely into the detai!s obtained from the captain and your engineer, your committee are of opinion, from the information afforded by both, that every repair and alteration required to fit the ship for sea may be efficiently completed for a comparatively small sum; the hull of the ship is sound and seaworthy, and capable of performing any duty assigned to her; the engines are in good condition, but the boilers want thorough overhauling." With regard to the best means of employing the ship the committee say—" Three voyages to India or Australia (one and a-half each year) would give a little more than 70,000 miles, subject to the expense only of six loadings and discharges; six set of port and pilot dues; six set of agencies; six coast and harbour risks instead of 18, and only two years victual ling, wages, insurance, staff, expenses, and interest instead of three. There would be but little coin petition in the rates of passage and freight. Passengers and cargoes would be available to any extent, and the result, under proper and efficient management, cannot for a moment be doubted." After examining the plans for relieving the company from its difficulties, the committee thus conclude : " Hare is our policy—here are our plans-1. Economy at home. 2. Placing the ship on the longest voyage, where there can be the least competition and the highest receipts—the share holders contributing what may be required for the liquidation of the existing debts and outfit, which will be amply provided for by the suggested contribution." After some discussion, the report was unanimously adopted, and it was decided to summon another meeting for the 3d of November to fill up vacancies in the Board of Directors, and for the transaction of other business. THE INDEPENDENCE OF POLAND. Last evening a public meeting in connection with the National League for the Independence of Poland was held in the Cambridge Hall, Newman-street, Oxford-street, Mr. Edmond Beales, barrister-at law, presiding. The Chairman, in opening the pro ceedings, expressed his pleasure at presiding over a meeting sympathising with those gallant men who were wonderfully and determinedly struggling in Poland for ali that is worth living for and worth dying for. (Hear, hear.) He did not wish to de tain the meeting, but he could not help referring to the important speech recently delivered by Earl Russell at Blairgowrie. There were two points in that speech—first, it was admitted that Russia had forfeited all the right, if sh© ever had any, to the sovereignty of Poland ; and the next point was the recognition of the belligerent rights of the Poles. One decla ration of the noble lord he cordially concurred with, but another declaration he was decidedly op posed to. The noble lord said it was not obliga tory on the country, nor was it to the honour or interests of England, that we should go to war for Poland. He was sorry to hear such a declaration from the lips of any Englishman, especially a Rus sell. It was uncalled for, because the Poles had never asked us to go to war for them ; they had de precated any armed intervention on their part, being desirous to achieve their own freedom. The Treaty of Vienna, by which Poland was par titioned, was a scandal and a reproach to all those who had stood by passively and allowed Poland to be swept out of the map of Europe. (Hear, hear.) Earl Russell said that those other nations who had stood by were accessories after the fact. The partition of Poland was one of the greatest of political crimes, and therefore he thought that no man with common sense could say that it was not obligatory on us to Bee that the conditions of the treaty were fulfilled, and, if they were violated, to enforce them. Rus sia had deliberately and systematically violated all those conditions, and therefore the belligerent rights of the Poles should be recognised. Having con demned in strong language the conduct of Russia towards the suffering Poles for her own aggrandise ment, he concluded by expressing a hope that Lord Russell's words should be embodied in a de spatch, and sent to the Court of St. Peters burg. (Loud cheers.) Dr. P. W. Perfitt then delivered a long address on the history, partitions, and present condition of Poland, and moved the fol lowing resolution :—" That this meeting cordially approves of the objects of the National League for the Independence of Poland, and pledges itself to support the league by all the pecuniary and other mean in its power." Mr. Egliuton, a working man, seconded the motion, which was put and carried with acclamation. Mr. J. A. Nicolay then pro posed the next resolution, to the effect that Russia, having for nearly f if ty years delibe rately and systematically violated, and hav ing now deliberately and fi na lly rejected the conditions upon which t h e iniquitous par tition and spoliation of Poland in the last century were more or less condoned and sanctioned by Great Britain and other European powers by the Treaty of Vienna, has forfeited every semblance of a legitimate title to sovereignty over Poland, and that it vitally concerns the nonour and good faith of Great Britain as a party to that tre a t y to d ec l are such forfeiture openly and officially, and at once to recognise the b e lligerent rights of th e P o l es . M r. Stainsby seconded the resolution, which was also agreed to. A cordial vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings. A SCENE AT " BELL'S LIFE" OFFICE.—The un mitigated scoundrelism of a certain class of the t 4 patro ns of the noble art" seems to have reached its clim ax o ,i" the occasion of the late fight between Gannon and Baldock, for £lOO aside. The police twice put a stop to the brutal exhibition, and the referee (editor of Bell's Life) ordered the men to meet at his office on the next day. The meeting is thus reported by the editor :—" On Thursday the representatives of the men treated us to on e of the usual lams which our position compels us to hold, in which loud voices and unabashed falsehood were used as the instruments to blind our eyes to justice, an d it was not till our room was cleared of all save one r epresentative of each man that we could get on any like terms, or ascertain the point at issue, which turned out to be that Gannon's friends accused Baldock of wilfully giving himself up to the police; while Baldock's backers as strenuously denied this fact, and declared the man could not get away from the police. Evidence was laid before us by Gannon's friends, which, coupled with inquiries we caused to be made, convinced us that their accusation was founded on fact, and the referee, on Friday morning, when the parties again met at our office, awarded the money to Gannon. Directly this decision was' given, our office was filled by a band of ruffians, at the head of whom were Ward of the Ironfounders' Arms, Greenwich, Young Billy Shaw, Tom Tyler, and Baldock himself, who assailed us and our reporter with the vilest abuse, and Baldock and anothet of his friends, a pedestrian named Myers, we believe, with frightful oaths declared that they would take the life of our ring reporter the first time they caught him in the streets. Young Tyler and Ward were no way behindhand in their threats, And the scene altogether was of such a nature as we nevecii-ii nessed before, anti will take care shall not occarna.gt.
