ONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. A better feeling is now perceptible in the general discount market, the measure adopted by the bank authorities having removed much of the interest Previously manifested. It seems to be generally thought that the restrietions now imposed will be sufficient to correct the adverse influence lately in operation. Discounters, consequently, show greater willingness to transact business, and those who require accommodation have no difficulty 'whatever in obtaining it, on first class bills, at , 5-'4 6 per cent. The inquiry is tolerably active. The weekly return issued by the authorities of the Bank of England, as was predicted, is of an un satisfactory character. The bullion has again been reduced by £638,146, and the reserve of notes by £743,755. The private deposits have also been trenched upon to the extent of £1,153,955, and the other securities have been augmented by £316,035. Annexed are the particulars : Active Circulation .. £ 2 2,040,970 Increase .. .. • • .. 168,920 Bullion •• • • • • •• 1 3,799,428 Decrease .. .. 638,146 Rest .. 3,144,306 Decrease . 1,421 .

Sugar, however, has sustained pre. vious rates. Coffee, at public sale, sold slowly at barely previous prices. At the public sales of tea, however, an advance of td. to ld. per lb. has been established; while at the public sales of colonial wool the attendance of both home and foreign dealers has been large, and the dealings show an advance of ld. to I.ld. per lb. on the rates current at the previous auctions. The tallow market has been more animated, and prices for both present and forward delivery show an upward tendency. A special extraordinary general meeting of the directors of the Southsea Pier Hotel Company took place this day at the offices of the company, relative to the proposed alteration in the articles of association which are to be submitted to a special general meeting of the shareholders on Nov. 2S. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cant. Rentes ware 66f. 90c. to 67f. Oc.—Better in consequence of the rise in London. Before the closing of business yesterday the Stock Exchange Market became much firmer, the excitement subsided, and a healthier tone generally prevailed. Further indications of a favourable Character have manifested themselves to-day, and a degree of buoyancy prevails, instead of the depression which previously characterised almost every class of security. Consols are 92: for money, and 91: 2, less the dividend, for account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are k per Cent. higher, and Exchequer Bills have recovered to 6s. and ls. dis. A decidedly better feeling prevails in the Foreign Market, which is very active in conse quence of large continental orders to purchase mearly all the principal speculative stocks. Greek are about 1: 1 1 better, being 29 30, and the Coupons are 1 1 higher, standing at 14 15 prem. Spanish Passive have gone up viz. to 34i,l Z. The Inter- Lai Passiv e h ave r i sen to 30 1, an d th e C er tifi ca t es are ab out xiisen to 1 per cent. better, at 131 -:. Mexican have 40: a ; and Portuguese Scrip is firm at prem. The Confederate LoaL is heavy at 6 3 65. In the Railway Share Market a firmer tone has prevailed, and prices in several instances have im proved. The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without Material variation. Bank Shares continue in fair request, and prices generally show an upward tendency. In the Miscellanaous Market the operations have been rather numerous, and in some instances a slight improvement has taken place. BRITISH FUNDS --CLOSING PRICES. , 3 per Cent.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Sittings in. Banco, before the Lord Chief Justice Erie, and Justices Williams, Bytes, and Keating.) RICHARCSON V. ELOIE AND ANOTHER. Mr. M. Chambers, Q C , a ith Mr. Needham, applied to set aside the verdict touna for the plaintiff on the ground that it was against evidence. The action, which was tried before Mr. Justice Keating at the Guildhall, and brought by the plaintiff, an architect and surveyor, fur the prepara tion of certain plans for the erection of a large refreshment booth for the million, with a bar of 70 feet in length, on a piece of land near the western entrance to the Great Exhibi- tion of 1862. The defendant, Jeremiah Savage E Igie,was ac companied by his father, the elder defendant, at the in terview but it wa denied that he had anything to do with the speculation. Owing to the great expense of the build ing according to the first plans, the plaintiff, at the request of Jeremiah Savage Elgie, prepared other plans, but ulti mately the negotiation went off. The Court granted a rule nisi for a new trial. PEARSON V. THE COMMERCIAL UNION ASSURANCE COM PANY.-TIIE BURNING OF THE INDIAN EMPIRE STEAM SHIP IN THE THAMES. Mr. Lush, Q.C., moved for a rule nisi to set aside the verdict found for the plaintiff, with £lo,uoo damages and to enter a nonsuit. The action was tried before the Lord Chief Justice at Guildhall, and was brought upon a policy of insurance against fire only for three mouths on the steamship Indian Empire, then lying in the Vic toria docks with lib3rty to go into dry dock. It ap peared that adjoining the Victoria docks, there was the Thames graving dock, which was used for all the purposes of a dry dock, and there were also great precautions against fire in the Victoria docks. The Indian Empire was not, how ever, taken into that dock, but her paddle boxes were taken off, and the vessel taken into a private dry dock, two miles up the river, where she underwent repairs. After that she was taken into the river, and moored to a Government buoy to complete her repairs. It was then that the fire occurred destroying the ship. The defendants con tended by their policy they only insured the ship when in the Victoria Dock or in a dry dock, and that they were not liable, for the ship was burned while in the river. Rule nisi granted. COURT OF DIVORCE, (Before Sir J. P. Wilde.) YEATMAN V. YEATMAN. In this case the petitioner, who is a barrister, brought a suit for dissolution of marriage with his wife on the ground of her adultery with Prince liohenlohe. The case was tried before the Judge Ordinary and a jury last July, when a verdict was found to the effect that the adultery was not proved, and that the petitioner had deserted his wife with out sufficient cause. Mr. Yeatman, in person, now moved for a rule calling on the respondent to show cause why there should not be a new trial on the ground of misdirection by the Judge Ordinary, and that the verdict was against evidence. The learned gentleman contended that the jury were not com petent to try the question of desertion. The alleged adultery with Prince Hohenlohe was stated to have taken place at He delberg. Tho learned Judge said as the case had been heard before the late Judge, and the point had not been decided, the rule nisi must be granted, and also as against evidence, that he might h tve the evidence before him. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) RE MARSHALL. The bankrupt was described as a newspaper proprietor, of Charlotte-street, Fit zroy.square, and this was a meeting for examination and dischurge, Mr. Sargood opposed on behalf of Mr. Shipley, on the ground that the bankrupt had not even attempted to render a proper account. He had purchased of Mr. Shipley the copyright of the Lamp newspaper for £4OO, but had only paid a deposit of £25, but he set it down as worth £5OO, although he discontinued the publication in a few weeks after he had possession. He had also set down as good and doubtful debts £l9O, out of which only ss, 6d. had been got in. Under the name of "Harkaway," he had received a large amount on sporting matters, and in one instance he had received £l,OOO at Tat tersall's, which he accounted for by one sweeping item, that he had paid it to persons who had given him commissions. He, Mr. Sargood, submitted that this could not be deemed any account, indeed it had been carefully made out so as to give no information. He, therefore, asked for an adjourn ment, sine die, without protection, or that the petition should be dismissed. His Honour adjourned the examination sine die, with Mited protection. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day. Market opens dull and irregular. Sales, probably 4,000 bales. The action of the bank has completely paralysed the market, and prices of all kinds reduced one penny per pound, though there is less pressure to sell than might have been expected, the very meagre stock staying any tendency to panic. Committee's quotations for middling cotton are reduced li d. in bowed and ld. in Mobile and Orleans. Sales, 29,910 bales, 7,650 on spec and 5,520 for export. Actual export, 15,107. Imports, 17,381. Stock, 152,000. Sir David Brewster and the Abbot of Kinloss. A correspondent of the Scotsman says :—" In his inaugural address delivered in the Music Hall, on Monday last, Sir David Brewster struck a very undeserved blow at the Catholic Church. Refer ring to the bequest made by the last Catholic Bishop of Orkney, for the erection of a University in Edin burgh, the learned Principal said :—'ln 1558 Mr Robert Reid, Bishop of Orkney, a prelate of high accomplishments, bequeathed 8,000 marks for this important purpose. This sum, however, was with held by his executor, the Abbot of Kinloss, and it was not till 1582 that half the legacy, withoat interest, was realised by the citizens of Edinburgh. The opposition thus made by the Catholic powers to the erection of a college ,in the metropolis was fortunately baffled by the zeal of the Reformers.' " So says Sir David, but authentic history tells another tale. The Protestant Bishop Keith, in his Historical Catalogue of Scottish Bishops,' p. 225, Bishop Russell's edition, observes---' The history of the family of Sutherland says that this Bishop (Reid) left a great sum of money for building the College of Edinburgh, which the Earl Morton con verted to his own use and profit by banishing the executors for supposed crimes.' "Now, Sir David must be aware that Morton was a Reformer and a great enemy of the Catholic Church; so that whatever opposition was made to the erection of Edinburgh University was the work, not of the' Catholic powers,' but of some of the re forming party." POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. HIGHWAY ROBBERY wyrit VIOLENCE.—A lad named Wm. Allen was charged before Mr. Knox, by Sergeant Shore, 11 F, with being concerned, with others not in custody, in the following robbery : Antoine Barral, 33, Church -street, Soho, said that at 11 o'clock at night he was in Moor-street, Seven-dials, when a boy came up to him and butted him in the stomach with great violence, and no sooner had he been butted than he was surrounded by a number of lads who felt in his pockets and then stole his watch. Wm. Webster, a young man, living at 25, Earl-street, said he saw the prosecutor going along, and six lads went up t.) him, and one of them butted the prosecutor while the others stole his watch. The prosecutor then called " Police," and one of the lads struck him, and then they all made off He gave information to the police, and on being subsequently sent for to Bow-street, he identified the prisoner as one of the lads, though not either of the two who butted the prosecutor or stole his watch. Sergeant Shore, 11 F, said that, from information ho received, he apprehended the prisoner in Seven Dials, and at the station the last witness identifiol him from amongst several others. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner. A BETTING MAN COMMITTED UNDER TILE VAGRANT Ac-r.—John Pilgrim, described as a betting man, was charged before Mr. Knox with loitering in King-street, St. James's, for the purpose of committing a felony. Sergeant Cole, 23 C, said that on the previous night he saw the prisoner standing at the corner of Litchfield-street, Soho, in conversation with a man just returned from penal servitude—a man well known as a " lumberer" (a man who carries stolen property for thieves, and introduces them to receivers) standing about two yards off at the time. He (the sergeant) accompanied by two other officers (Webb, 112 C, and Weeks, 155 C), followed the men, but they only succeeded in taking the prisoner into custody, when he threw from his hand a silver watch broken off at the bow, and then resisted violently, and on Weeks attempting to pick up the watch it was snatched up by some one who got away with it. The pri soner said he was not a thief but a " magsman," and ho (the sergean') knew him as a person who visited fairs and races, and played at cards. On searching him he found in his possession an Australian note, some cards (known as " breads") and a pair of spectacles used by " magswen," to give them when among flats a sedate and respectable appearance. Prisoner said he was not a thief, but he would acknow ledge that he got his living by gambling at fairs and races. Mr. Knox committed the prisoner for three months' under the Vagrant Act: THAMES. SUSPECTED ROBBERY BY A DESERTER,—John Gibson, a deserter from the 7th Royal Fusileers, and described as having no home, was brought up on remand before Mr. Partridge, cha•ged with being in possession of two plated cruet-stands, which had either been stolen or unlawfully procured. A few days since the prisoner offered a plated cruet-stand in pawn to an assistant in the shop of Mr. William Nathan, a respectable pawnbroker, in the Commercial-road, East. The assistant questioned the prisoner, who could give no satisfactory account as to the way he became possessed of the cruet-stand. Mr. Nathan's assistant gave the pri soner into the custody of a police-constable named Carter, who searched the prisoner at the station-house, and found another cruet .stand under his left arm. The name Matthews, Esq., or Marquand, Esq., was very faintly written in ink under one of the stands. There were three D's impressed on the prisoner's idt side, indicating that he had deserted three times. Prisoner had deserted a fourth time from the 7th Fusiliers at Weimer, in August last. The pri soner was fully described in the " Hue and Cry" and Pollee Gazette of August 11, 1863. Carter had communicated with the military authorities, but no one attended to claim the prisoner as a deserter. The officer believed the prisoner was so bad that the regiment from which he had deserted would have nothing more to do with him, The prisoner made no defence, and refused to give any account of the way he became possessed of the cruet-stands. _ _ Mr. Partridge said he had no doubt whatever the pro perty taken from the prisoner was stolen. It appeared the prisoner had deserted from his regiment four times, and there was no doubt he was a man of bad chatacter. Hs sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for two months in the House of Correction and kept to herd labour, for the unlawful possession of the cruet•stands. MARKETS—This Day, MARK-LANE. Fresh up to Mark -lane to-day the arrivals of home-grown wheat were on a limited scale, but most samples were re ceived in tolerably good condition. Millers showed no dis position to operate in excess of their actual requirements. Nevertheless the greater portion of the supply was disposed of at the full prices of Monday last. There was a full average show of foreign wheat on the stands. The transactions in most descriptions were of fair average extent, but the trade exhibited no activity. The quotations generally ruled firm. Floating cargoes of grain were in but moderate request, at previous currencies. The market was well supplied with English and foreign barley. Fine malting parcels commanded extreme rates ; otherwise, the trade was dull, at fully the late decline in prices. - Fine old malt was firm in price. Other kinds, however, met a slow sale on former terms. The supply of oats was much less extensive. The trade, however, was rather slow, yet prices were supported. Beans and white peas sold heavily at the late fall in their value. Hog peas, however, were tolerably firm. American flour, the supply of which was good, was in fair demand at full prices. Other descriptions of flour were in fair average demand at late rates. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat- Barley. Malt. Oats. Flom.

Visit of M, Alexandre Dumas to Sanson, the French Executioner, In the Indipendente of Naples M. Alexandre Dumas has just published, under the title of " Me moires de Monsieur de Paris," a curious recital, which we subjoin :—" I had read," says that writer, " in many narratives of the death of Louis XVI. that he refused to ascend the scaffold, that it was necessary to use force, and that a struggle took place between him and the executioner's assistants. The incident seemed to me so contrary to the cha racter of the King that I was anxious to ascertai❑ the truth, if possible, and, for that purpose, resolved to apply to Monsieur de Paris, who was the son of Sanson, who guillotined Louis XVI.; he was only twelve or fourteen years old at the time, end, as he was present on the scaffold, he must certainly remember all that took place on that memorable occasion. But I wanted some excuse for call ing on him, which I soon found ; so one evening I went to Sanson's house to purchase a pot of the ointment which he sold as a cure for rheumatic pains, and which, according to popular report, was made of human fat. I was introduced to M. Sanson's business room, and found him engaged in looking over accounts, and in an adjoining room I heard a piano played with considerable skill. AI. Sanson rose on my entrance, and having heard what I wanted, he told his servant to fetch the ointment. I asked the price, and he replied that it depended on circumstances, as he gave it gratis to the poor, and sold it for 10f. to those who could afford to pay for it. I gave him the money, and was hesitating how to introduce the subject which was the real cause of my visit, when Sanson, perceiving that I had something more to say, remarked I hardly dare ask you to take a seat.' To which I replied that I would willingly do so, and at once sat down, and said, ' M. Sanson, I see that you suspect the pot of ointment to be only a pre text, and that you wish me to explain what more I have to say.' You want to ask me something, I suppose, sir. If so, speak ; for the happiest days of my life are those in which men of the word do me the honour to converse with me.' I then told him who I was, and, after an exclamation of surprise, he eagerly requested to know what he could do to oblige me. You can clear up,' I said, an histori cal doubt. You were present at the execution of Louis XVI. ?" I Was.' And you remember it perfectly ?" 1 do.' Well, sir, some historians say that, at the foot of the scaffold, Louis XVI. shrank from death; that he struggled with the executioners, and was in a manner lifted on to the scaffold. For m y part, I do not believe the statement, as it was contrary to his character and temperament.' There is, nevertheless, some truth in it ;' re plied the other, as Louis XVI. did struggle violently for a moment with my father's assistants, and for the reason lam about to explain. You are a ware that Louis XVI. was conveyed to the place of execution in his own carriage, and without being pinioned. Before he ascended the steps the execu tioner's assistants, fearing he might struggle at the last moment, wished to bind his hands with a cord; but this indignity roused all the pride still remain ing in the unhappy monarch, and he resisted, ex claiming " No, no, I will never submit to that !' The men were about to use force, when my father stepped forward, and taking from his pocket a handkerchief, said in a tremulous voice and with tearful eyes, 4 4 With this handkerchief, Sire ?" Louis XVI. had not heard himself called Sire for six months before. He looked at my father, saw his tears, and at once held Which my father tied with the handkerchief. The r es t passe d as re latedt n eh outa by the historians.' Having obtained Sanson's permission to ask a few other questions, 1 requested to know whether it was true that the office he held was hereditary and obligatory in his family. ' No, sir, he replied, but in the absence of a positive law, there is the law of proprieties. What profession but his father's can the son of an executioner follow ? I await your other questions.' My next inquiry was whether it was true that he could not have a carriage, except on condition that his name should be inscribed on the doors. here is no obligation,' replied he; but such is the cus tom.i hotwhewe elude affirmative, h i n practice e Shouldr Havingy ul answered like t o see n said that be would take me down to s ee th e cm - liege, and accordingly ordered the servant to bring a lantern. While the man was gone, Sanson said that his daughter would never forgive him if he allowed me to leave without her seeing me, and was about to fetch her when I remarked that I would rather go to her in the drawing-room. He seemed pleased with m y proposal, and we went there. On entering the room we found her seated at the piano. She was a fair girl of about 19, with blue eyes, and a rather melancholy expression of countenance. 'My dear,' said Sanson,' here is a gentleman whom you think much of ; knowing all your admiration for him, I could not let him leave without doing you the honour to embrace him.' She looked embarrassed and blushed quite red. First of all, father,' said she with some confusion, I wish to know the gen tleman's name.' He replied, You shall know it afterwards, for I told you first, it is you that would embrace him.' Oh! father!' she exclaimed in a tone of reproach. I then embraced her, after w hi c h she looked inq u i r i ng l y at her father, who said, Well, he is M. Alexandre Dumas.' She then dropped on a chair, and sat looking at me as if amazed. ' Look at him well, girl,' said the father with that m e l anc h o l y accent which was habitua l to him, for it is probabiy the first and the last time you will ever behold him !' 'Phis little scene made such an impression on me that fifteen years later I attempted d to rep ro d uce i t i n the novel of La Iteine Margot.' We went down to the coach-house, in which were two or three carriages. Sanson took me to the handsomest, and showed me the escutcheon on the door; it pretented a broken bell argent on a red ground, and under it as a motto were the two words SANS SON, being a pun on the family name. Having learned all I wished to know, I now expressed my thanks to M. Sanson, and took my leave." Another Attempted Outbreak of Convicts at Dartmoor Prisons For some weeks past the convicts at Dartmoor Prison have been manifesting symptoms of renewing their at tempts of outbreak and insubordination. On last Saturday evening, after the warders had served each convict with his oupper, and clean linen for the ensuing day—being thus supplied with all their wants, they commenced to shout and hoot at their windows, and use threats of defiance towards the highest prison officials. All the prisoners cated in A and B Hall, No. 2 Prison, joined in one continued shout of defiance, and doggedly refused to close their cell doors. Capt. Best (the Deputy Governor), on being made acquainted with the disturbance, promptly appeared on the Beene, accompanied by a strong bady of warders, and a detachment of the armed civil guard. Captain Best ordered the warders to close all the cell doors, on which the convicts commenced yelling, whistling, and knocking3against the doors and partitions of their cells. Quietness and good order were, however, ultimately restored. But on Sunday after noon, after having heard a moat impressive lecture from the prison chaplain, all the convicts located in a hall, No. 2 Prison, refused to enter their cells and openly bade defiance to the warder; demanding their regular exer cise and that their cell• doors should be left open, other wise they would not return to their cells; The g n ov .„ T er _ no • 2 r had given orde's that all the prisoners located i exercise Prison should be deprived of their Sunday's d , also that and not be allowed to assemble together on pernaisehment for their cell-doors should be kept closed as a Puvening.

Nine of the instigators, or rather ringleaders, were secured and removed to the re fractory cells, to await tha decision of Captain Gambier, the visiting director, who is expected to arrive at the prison in a day or two. One of the ringleaders, named Griffiths, has been sent back on two different occasions to the penal class at Pentonville Prison for murderous assaults on the warders at Dartmoor ; so that, after completing his penance at Pentonville, he has been let loose at Dartmoor to carry out his murderous designs, and was allowed full scope to incite his companions in villany to acts of mutiny and in subordination. Only last month five of the convicts at Dartmoor underwent the punishment of the lash for vio lently assaulting the warders, — Western Daily Mercury. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, HALF -PAST 4 O'CLOCK.

MURDER OF A CUSTOMS OFFICER AT LIVERPOOL. —A murder of a shocking nature Was committed in the neighbourhood of Smithdown-lane, Liverpool, Liver_ o on Wed nesday evening, the victim being a Custom -house officer named Henry Treeby. It app ears tha t , after finishing his duties for the day, the deceased left the office at half-past four in the afternoon on his way homewards. Nothing was seen or heard of him afterwards until a police officer, who, about half-past five p.m. was going towards Shiel street, discovered the dead body of Treeby lying on the right-hand side of the pathway. Death had been caused by suffocation. The face presented a livid appearance ' • there was a deep wound over the left eye, and a s li g h t contusion on the forehead over the nose. On the neck, however, there were evident signs that deceased had bee n strangled, as under each ear there w as a d eep black mark, while blood issued from the nostrils and mouth. When the deceased left the Custom House ho had in his possession about £1 7s, a silver watch, and a gold guard ; but, when he was found, his pockets had been rifled and his watch and guard stolen. The deceased generally carried some £l4 or £l5 about with him, and plunder is supposed to have been the motive of the murderers. Before leaving business, Treeby placed upwards of £l4 in a desk in his office, and it is therefore conjectured that his murderer or murderers had some knowledge of the amount of money which he was likely to have with him. The clothes of de ceased bore no marks of any severe struggle having taken place, though the knees of his trousers were covered with dirt, and his shirt collar and neckcloth much disarranged. The deceased, who was only 35 years of age, leaves behind him a wife and five children. Treeby was much liked among his broth er o ffi cers , an d was known to be a man of a quiet and kindly nature.

The Irish North-Western Railway, passing from Dundalk, in the county of Louth, to Enniskillen, had not been doing well, and a committee of share holders was recently appointed to examine the affairs of the company, and to put everything relating to its concerns honestly and fairly before the shareholders. The Earl of Erne, chairman of the board of directors, became the creditor of the company to a very large amount. He held £43,500 of the debentures of the company, and he had lent money to it amounting to £81,145, making together the sum of £124,645. Lord Erne wrote to the com pany, on the 3d of this month, that, in order to assist in relieving the shareholders, as far as was in his power, from the present embarrassment, he was willing to place £28,500 of debentures in the com pany's hands, on condition that the amountrealised by them should be applied, as far as it would go, in payment of the debts due to the Bank of Ireland and the Belfast Banking Company) amounting to £30,000 and £1,700, the co m p any providing the balance. He agreed to accept shares in the com pany of the same class as the existing A preference shares. In order to issue such shares new powers must be obtained from Parliament, but if the com pany were unable to o btain those powers, he agreed not to call is the sums above-mentioned for the next 10 years, and during that time to receive interest on the money at the same rate as may be payable by way of dividend on the existing A preference shares. At the meeting of the shareholders in the North umberland Hotel yesterday the report of the com mittee was submitted, and the proposal of the chairman u nanimously adopted. Mr. Edw ar d Li tton said that in thus changing his relation to the compan y from that of a creditor to a shareh o ld er, Lord E rn e might be said to have made a p resent to the company of one-fourth of the money due to bi n] , or close up on £30,000. By the committee' s report it appeared that the total liabilities .ef the com pany amounted to £ 198 ,000 ; Lord Er d ilei against pro posal would red uce them to £BB,OOO, t h a t the company had assets to the amount of £22,000. The balance Was further redu ce d t o £41,000, and this is to be provided pointed 'tied for in var i ou s e ways which were out. The chair man said he could n o t help expressingt the sense he h felt of the valuable service eom forward hadmittee such ren dered to the shareholders by bringing e a creditable and honourable taken th report. Lord Castle maine having 4, th e second chair, Sir George Preston mo ve d that e shareholders avail them selves of this opporrtunity to record their deep sense of gratitude to the and for of . Erne for his valuable and zealous services, to promote the interoersthiss great th personal sa , e , rifi T cr resolution . was seconded by Mr. L e 'ctotmpaannycl passed with acclamation, The Earl of Erne thanked the meeting for their great kindness. It was right to state that none of the directors ever asked him to advance money. They looked at him q ueerly now and then, but, he repeated, never asked him to ad vance money, and the money he lent the company was altogether on his own reeponsibility. He always had great confidence in the line. He proved that confidence, for he had that day by security and personal risk taken £200,000 in shares in the line. He had great pleasure in tellicg them that he had jnat heard that the company would de rive £BOO of profit for at least two years by . workin 6 , a n arrangement with the Northern Ceunties Rail way THE APPROACHING SII AKESPEARE TERC EN - produc©d several TENA gy has already German , 6 Rays of Light from Sh a k espeare ' s wor ks.
