Mr. James Anderson, lessee and manager of the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, begs to acquaint the Nobility, Gentry and Public in general; as well also Messieurs les Strangers, that he has determined upon a GREAT REDUCTION IN TEE . PRICES OF ADMISSION at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, on and after LASTER MONDAY, APRIL 21st, 1851. In order to avoid the reproach of taking an unworthy advantage of the time, and those who honour ns with their presence, the les.ee has arranged his scale of prices so that they may tally, as near as possible, with those of the continental theatres. And as every one who visits these shores must of necessity be desirous of visiting the National Theatre (so liberally patronised by the Go vernment, the Court, and the country) to witness the representation of the immortal works of our great dramatist, the Lessee has, in crier to facilitate the wishes of all parties, determined upon the fol lowing scale of prices : Stalls and Dress Circle - - bs. 7 ' W 5 '; : ; :r T ., • -- ...,10 , • , ‘..„..

Every artificer discharged from the dock yards will lead to a considerable saving in stores and other materials that are now consumed without the slightest practical utility. On this point we would direct the attention of Honourable Gentlemen to the admirable letters of Sir CHARLES NAPIER to that effect, which appeared in our impression of yesterday, as well as those to which we gave insertion in the beginning of October and on the 14th of March last. We deeply regret that the Gallant Admiral has not a seat in the House, to put forward personally his views on matters for which he is pre-eminently qualified to form sound opinions. But, as no constituency is so fortunate as to have him as its representative, it is incumbent on others to ascertain and to give expression to these views, by which, as he judiciously remarks, the House of Commons may be enabled " to refuse the house-tax," the necessary supply being provided for out of the savings of the dockyard. At present we have no less than 63 line-of-battle ships, from 70 to 120 guns each, besides four steam screw ships of 58 guns each, making in all 67 liners, ready for immediate employment. besides fourteen or fifteen of different sizes, some fit for repair, and others not. Where then should we look for, and how long would it take us to find ex perienced and Efficient crews for these vessels already at our disposal ? We cannot again resort to the in famous system of kidnapping that was so long sanctioned under the tyrant's plea of necessity, but the real cause of which was, that we did not choose to hold out sufficient inducements to those gallant men to flock voluntarily to our standard, and made our own paltry and cheeseparing parsimony, in a matter wherein genercsity should have been exhibited, the pretext for acts of robbery and invasions of the liberty of the subject, utterly inconsistent with our much•vaunted justice and the freedom of our insti- utions. We cannot now attempt to man our fleet by im pressment, and unless a very different system from that at present in operation be introduced, we shall not get volunteers sufficient for half our vessels. Why, then, should we complete the 21 liners, from 80 to 120 guns each, now on the stocks ? We are, per haps, not as yet sufficiently powerful in the steam department. The three screw-steamers may, therefore, be finished, but let us take the advice of the hero of Acre, and permit the other eighteen ships on the stocks " to remain as they are to season," and withdraw the men employed on them. By this means a very considerable saving may be effected (fully equivalent to the amount of — the contemplated house-tax) without the slightest injury to the most mportant branch of the national service. ___ We hope that every Reformer who has a seat in the House NI, ill prove himself faithful to his former professions, and worthy of the confidence of his con stituency, by attending in his place on Thursday, the Ist of May, and strictly scrutinizing every esti mate that may be brought forward. It has long been a subject of regret with every well wisher to Ireland that, with the exception of the linen establishments in the province of Ulster, she has no manufactures. Could Ireland, it is said, become a manufacturing country there would soon be abundant employment for the whole of hor labouring popula tion, who would then cease to be redundant, and who would be enabled to earn, on their own native soil, that subsistence, to obtain which they are now corn pelled to toil hard in the towns and cities of England, or to clear the forests of the North American conti nent. But there are great difficulties in the way of establishing any of the textile manufactures in Ireland ; the capital which would be required to esta blish a cotton factory, for instance, would be enor mous, and the difficulties in the way of opening up a new market for the sale of the manufactured article almost insuperable ; but if it were possible to establish in Ireland extensive manufactories , of an article of universal consumption, the raw material for the pro ducing which was the product of her own soil, and so peculiarly a d apted to that soil, as, by its supe riority over th e s i m i lar products of other countries, to give Ireland a practical monopoly of the supply of ' the manufactu re d article, then should we see Ireland become prosperous, and, as a natural consequence, peaceful and i n d ustrious ; then should we find the agriculture, manufactures, and commerce of Ireland not antagonistic to, but aiding and assisting each other, as the prosperity of one must inevitably and directly, in such a case, involve the prosperity of all. We entertain a sanguine hope and expectation that such a process of manufacture as we have described has been discovered, and we think that the future in dustrial prosperity of Ireland will, date from the day on which the first manufactory of beet-root sugar, according to the plan proposed by Mr. CROSSLEY, shall be established in the sister island. The manu facture of beet-root sugar is a subject of much im portance, to which' too little attention has been paid in this country. We have been told by those iute rested in the manufacture of cane sugar that beet -root sugar could not be produced at a rate which would enable it to compete with cane sugar without a high protecting duty, rig andivestthiiaatinsoiertion has been taken for g ranted without competition between ; but w canehen ininquiries are d beetroot in Fran ce , th e contrary is found to be the fact. I n a su gar s t o the France beet-root sugar has no protection ; for many years past the duty the Production of Prance, and imposed on b ee t- roo t suga r, OA cane sugar from the The second portion of the Naval Estimates, that relating to the dock-yard expenditure, will be brought under the consideration of the House of Commons on the Ist of May next. There is, therefore, ample time for Honourable Gentlemen to make themselves sufficiently acquainted with the subject, so as to be enabled to arrive at tolerably correct conclusions on the various questions that may come before them, and to justify the votes they may finally be induced to give. We have already noticed with regret the culpable apathy exhibi'.ed by too many of the chosen representatives of the people on all points relating to the estimates—that is to say, the sums that will probably he required fur the due support of the various branches of the public service during the ensu i ng year. The most important of these estimates, those in which the greatest savings may be ef fected without, in any degree, impairing the effi ciency of the department, is in the materiel of the navy, or in other words, the dockyard ex penditure, for which the sums, amounting, in the aggregate, to no less than 2,011,3071., are demanded. Before an expenditure so enor mous can receive the sanction of the defenders of the public purse, it must be shown to be absolutely required by the exigencies of the case, and that it is dispensed with a prudent and judicious economy; so that the nation may receive a full equivalent for its I outlay. It is, however, unfortunately but too noto • rious that the grossest jobbing is practised in these establishments; that vessels are constructed at a vast expense, which remain rotting in the water without ever being put into commission, or rendered in any degree serviceable, until, with occasional de mands for repairs, they rot away and become utterly valueless. Now, as Sir CHARLES NAPIER justly re marks, " continuing the system of building ships to rot is throwing away money." We will also add, that dismantling and paying off vessels which are in porfect order and condition, condemning and turning them over to the dockyards to be over hauled, or, in other words, to be pulled to pieces, when they might be continued in active employment for years without any important alteration or repair, is also "throwing away money" in the most ridiculous and absurd way. If it were necessary to keep the artificers (which we positively deny), it would be more judicious to let them remain perfectly idle, for while they keep up the appearance of working, putting together and taking asunder— adding to, or cutting down vessels, for the sake of appearing to be occupied, we are required not only to West Indies, has been precisely the same, and yet year by year the production of beet-root sugar in France has been rapidly progressing. Now, the soil of Ireland is much better suited to the production of beet-root than is the soil of any other European country. We are told, on high authority, that the average produce of a statute acre of land of the white Silesian beet is in The northern departments of France 19 tcns.

In Germany ... 161. to 18/. In Ireland, from ... ... 10/. to 121. But not only ii the yield of beet-root con siderably more per acre in Ireland than in any other country, but its quality is greatly superior. Pro fessor SULLIVAN, in a communication to the Royal Dublin Society, on the 27th December, 1850, states, as the result of his analyses, that not beet-root only, but that all bulbous roots generally grown in Ire land, yielded nearly 25 per cent. more saccharine matter than similar roots grown in Belgium or France. It is clear, therefore, that so far as the manufacture of beetroot sugar is concerned, no country on the European continent can possibly com pete with Ireland ; but it would appear that the beet-root of Ireland possesses nearly equal advan tages over the sugar cane of the West Indies, as is shown in the following statement : " A statute acre of land in the West India colonies planted with sugar cane, yields upon an average of raw sugar In Ireland, a statute acre would produce 30 tons of roots. 15 tons being required by the ordinary process to produce 1 ton of sugar, the produce of augur per acre would be Again,— " 1001bs. of sugar canes yield of sugar from sto 7lbs. 1001bs. of Silesian beet, by the ordinary method Or when refined 5 to silbs. 1001bs. of beet-roots, dried and operated upon by the improved methods, which extract the whole saccharine 8 to 101bs. Or when refined " Thus showing that about the same quantity of refined sugar is produced from beet-roots as from an equal weight of sugar canes !" A great objection to the introduction of a manufac ture, such as that of sugar, which has hitherto been confined to " crop time," is, that it does not afford:con tinuous labour to the inhabitants of a district, but overworks those engaged in its manufacture during one portion of the year, leaving them absolutely destitute of employment during the remainder; this objection is entirely obviated by the invention which Mr. CRossLEy has patented ,for the use of cut and dried roots, which can be preserved for any length of time, and thus enable the manufacturer to carry on his manufacture during the entire year. We consider that the introduction of this improved process for manufacturing beet-root sugar into Ireland will give an impetus to, the agriculture of the country such as it has never yet received, whilst, at the same time, by providing abundant employment, it will tend to raise the rate of wages, and thus to give to the labouring clasei a greater command over the comforts of life. For the sake of all classes of our Irish fellow-subjects we would desire that this manufac ture should be introduced into Ireland with the least possible delay. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Assemblie Nationale publishes the manifesto of the Fusionist party, and it is certainly one of the coolest productions, as regards the PRESIDENT of the Republic, that has yet issued from the press. It is a clear and distinct declaration on the part of MM. GUIZOT, DUCHATEL, and their coadjutors, that they consider M. Louis BONAPARTE solely as the planche Napoleoienne, over which the Bourbon pretender is to cross in safety to the throne, this said planche to he kicked away the instant it has served the purpose. The Assembles Nationale says— " All our policy is to make the country comprehend and accept the re-establishment of that Monarchy as its true and only means of safety. We say it openly, and those who repeat it will render us a service. What would be the result of it with regard to Prince Louis Napoleon ? Shall we at present take part for the pro longation of his powers? Certainly not. We ardently wish, and we regard it more desirable for the present welfare of France that he should definitively quit in 1852 the deplorable and precarious condition into which he was thrown by 1848. But if in 1852 he does not de finitively leave it, if the vital question of his destinies cannot then receive its true solution, we think that France will do well not to overthrow at all risks the tent under which she now shelters herself. Let there be no engagement, and no premature and absolute exclusion ; that is all that can be and ought to be said at this mo ment on the sulject." Certainly, never since LOUIS NAPOLEON BONA PARTE was elected President of the Republic, on the 10th December, 1848, has there been published in any journal an article so insulting to him, or so cal culated to bring him into contempt, as this article of the .Assemblie National. The journals all contain the following announce ment : The Charivari of yesterday was seized at the post office, and at the office of the journal, by order of the Procureur of the Republic, for a lithographic print, under the head of Actualites, le prix de l'adresse aux Champs Elysees, in whien the President of the Republic is represented as encouraging the candidates for posts in the Ministry to discharge targets at a figure representing the Constitution, and promising a portfolio to the per son who should succeed in striking it most effectually. A prosecution has been commenced against the pub lisher of the journal and the author of the print, on a charge of libel upon the President of the Republic." We find the following in the Liberte of the Pas de-Calais : " Much attention is attracted by a very energetic cir cular which M. Lem Faucher is said to have addressed to all the prefects, directing their attention towards the proceedings of the Socialists, and urging them to use their utmost efforts to arrest the progress of their propa gandism. We understand that the Government is about to present two Bills of great importance. One is rela tive to domicile in Paris, and will place at the disposal of the Government persons of suspicious characters, whom the Prefect of Police may, at his will, remove from the capital according to the abrogated law of 1810. It is stated that this law will bo to remove from the capital 25,000 individuals of the most dangerous character in times of revolution. The other Bill is relative to the publications of French political exiles residing abroad. These publications will be interdicted in France." The Patrie publishes the following communicated note from the Prefect of Police:— " Several journals have quoted from the Inde pendance of Brussels some details as to the re organization of the Society of the Dix .Decembre, dissolved in 1850 by the Government, a re-or ganization at the head of which is placed a person of the name of d'Oiincourt. As soon as the Pretest of Police was made acquainted with the circumstances pointed out, he hastened to make them known to the Procureur of the Republic, begging him to obtain infor mation on the affair. The Prefect of Police is moreover authorised to disavow the said M. d'Olincourt, and to de clare that he has no relation either direct or indirect with the Government or with the Elysee, and that he acts without mission and without any authorisation." The Messager publishes the following letter, ad dressed to it by General Pier:— " In your number of the 14th instant you announce, on the authority of the Independance of Brussels, the organizi.tion of a society founded by an old member of the Society of the Dix Decembre, and you head your article with the title of Resurrection du Dix Decembre. In my quality of ex-president of the Society of the Dia Decembre, you will permit me to declare through yo ur journal that that society was dissolved by a d ecree of the 7th November last; that its members have fully submitted to the provisions of that decree, as they have decided to obey all the acts of the authorities• that the society, dead in facto as in lege, has authorised no one to speak in its name, and that to announce its resurrec tion is to state a thing which is not correct." The Bourse, which was much depressed at the com mencement of the business, recovered tow ar d s t h e close, and Government Securities were quoted at an ad vance on the closing prices of Thursday.

Madrid journals of the 13th have arrived. The Orden, which is a semi-official organ, in no ticing some rumours in the Opposition journals of disaccord in the Ministry, declares that they are without foundation. The Espana states that the Government has refused permission to Marshal NARVAEZ to visit his mother, and that her illness is not of a dangerous character. The preliminary meeting of electors of the Pro gressista party at Madrid was numerously attended, and it was resolved that the party should bring for ward candidates.

We perceive by the Athens journals that the statement of the dissolution of the Greek Cham ber of Deputies, received via Trieste, was un founded. The Courrier d'Athenes of the Bth contains a report of the sitting of the 4th, in which questions were put to the Minis try on the subject of the depredations and atrocities committed by bands of ,armed brigands in different parts of the territory. The Minister of Finances ad mated that the evil complained of had become very serious, but declared that the Government had adopted measures of repression, the success of w hich could not be considered doubtful. The Courrier publishes seve ral accounts of the proceedings of these brigands, all of which show the absence of proper means of protection for life and property. One hand had arrived at Tatoi, within a few miles of the capital, and put to flight a detachment of gendarmes after killing one of them. At Vranesi a band of thirty brigands, after commit ting other atrocities, poured boiling oil on the breasts of three females, and then sacked the village, carry ing off their booty without meeting with any resist ance.

Ile was also occupied in endeavouring to obtain a more satisfac tory security for the future regular payment of the interest, No definite arrangement relative to the debt of Messrs. Manning and Mackintosh had as yet been ar rived at, but Mr. Falconnet was using his best, efforts to get it secured in some way. The amount of bullion exported direct from London this week is only 40,000 ox. in silver coin to Rotterdam. From the manufacturing districts the accounts are of much the same tenor as previously of late. A moderate business was doing in woollens and cotton goods.

The same causes which operated to prevent business on Tuesday are in operation to-day. Exporters made a good deal of inquiry to test the market, but it resulted in a small extent of business. Ord ers to a fair extent are understood to be held by most of th e b uying agents, but it is unlikely they will execute them i n the present fluctuating state of prices. Where bu s i ness has been done it has been at a slight advance on Tuesd ay ' s rates.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. Yesterday was a holiday in the cotton market a Liverpool. I)uring the present week there has been no marked desire to speculate in the principal articles of consump tion; but a larger quantity has been taken for present wants. No one seems inclined to hold a stock, and a good many prefer waiting to see what the Exhibition will do for them. That an influx of foreigners must substantially affect the aggregate use of sugar, coffee, &c., in the United Kingdom, during the ensuing months, no one can dispute, but the supplies now are so steady, and capable of being drawn from so many different parts of the world, that there is scarcely any temptation to speculate, and none to hold on. Importers are much more anxious to sell upon arrival, and obtain anew the command of their capital for other purposes. The public at largo benefits, and with cheaper food they have the advantage of a larger supply. The activity i❑ the Coffee market has arisen from the new duty coming into operation. Sugar has been more in favour, and it is hoped refining in bond will be permitted to our home manufacturers, who suffer at present most severely from the restrictions placed upon them. Tallow has not varied particularly, and Tea has been steady for the lower qualities. Cotton has been depressed. The Bank of England weekly return is to the I2st inst. The bullion, as was expected, shows again a large re duction, and as compared with the previous week the results are:— Notes Issued Decrease Rest ... 10EL: 32% Steam, 34- 2% 3 4 -3% 32% - 32 14% - 15% 35% - 34% 5 % 13% - 14 -6% 10% - 11 -5 :x BAN] 33 -325( 42.3 i - 42 9% - 12 25 - 25% 18% - 17% 27% - 18% - 201( 42 - 43% 15% - 15 35 - 33% 3 - 3X, 12% - IN ANEOUS. 42% 46 26% 28 68,4 (1.3 76 —7l paid, has been done at 11 ible for intereal ,e errors of the Official Lists, and i correspondents.] MAKING TEA.—Dr. Lardner, in his treatise oil heat, remarks that vessels intended to contain a liquid at higher temperature than the surrounding medium, and to keep that liquid as long as possible at the higher tempers' tore, should be constructed of materials Which are the worst radiators of heat. The tea-urns and tea-pots are beat adapted for th e i r purpose when constructed of polishe d metal, and worse when constructed of black porcelain. A black porcelain tea-pot is the worst conceivable material cot that vessel, for both its materials and colour are good radii tors of heat, and the liquid contained in it cools with 01 greatest possible rapidity. On the other hand, a bright metal tea-pot is best adapted for the purpose, because it is the worst radiator of heat, and therefore cools as slowly as poll' Bible. A polished silver or brass tea-urn is better adapted to retain the,heat of the water Shan. one ,pf a. dull.brown colour, such as is commonly used. A tin kettle retaies the heat of water boiled in it more effectually, if it be kept clean and polished, than if it be allowed to collect the smoke and soot, to which it is exposed from the action of the fire. When coated with this, its surface becomes rough or black, and Is a powerful radiator of heat. BENEFIT OF ADVERTISINO,—Of all the facilities for business afforded by newspapers, the advertising columns afford the greatest. Th e y put i t i n every man's power to send his business-card into all houses and families; to make himself ever present, to > peak for his own cause, whenever the discussion of a subject interesting to himself comes 51 P• If he is a dry goods dealer, and i n th e f am i ly sewing circ l et the want of any article of clothing, or if any ornament 1 1 spoken of, the ready newspaper tells the story, and directs them where they may at once supply themselves. The stove-dealer, the coal-dealer, the milliner, tailor, shoemaker; grocer, baker, and, in fact, every tradesman or dealer, whose craft ministers to the comfort or necessaries of a family or individual, finds his best and surest friends in the newspape,r. The dullest tim es are prec i sely those when a man should so" vertise the most. If the customer has little money to ex' pend, he -very naturally looks about him to see where the 1 ttle can be disbursed to the most advantage. To rosin about town and make inquiries, costs more than it comes to; consequently, that tradesman who publishes his terms a nd h's wares, is sure of ten times the amount of the sum invested. The papers that are full of advertisements are not the best to make an announcement in; twenty to one if your advertisr ment is not overlooked; but those journals that contain plenty of local news and general matter, which attract the public mind, and whose columns are not crammed with ad' vertisements. MELANCHOLY SUlClDE. — Considerable excitement was created in Wakefield yesterday, by a rumour, which unhappily proved but too well founded, that Mr. Henri Illingworth, of the firm of Illingworth and Hicks printers and booksellers, had comm i tte d su i c i de by cutting his throat. It appears the rash act was perpetrated in the pzivy adjoin ing the house, in Burton-street Deceased had been indis posed for some days previously, and is supposed to have per petrated the rash act in a tit of despondency. He was for many years an active member of the board of streets com missioners, by whom his loss will be deeply felt. Some neighbours observed that he appeared rather wild and un settled in aspect on Thursday, but no apprehensions were entertained of the fatal catastrophe which so shortly ensued.

JAMES'S, WESTMINSTER.—Tbe governors of the poor have purchased a site of twenty acres of land, adjoining Battersea Common, Surrey, where indus trial schools for boys, girls, and infants are about to be erected under the superintendence of Mr. Charles Lee, archi tect. These schools are to be strictly industrial.

SUICIDE FROM LONDON -BR IDGE. — Yesterday morn ing a female leapt into the water at London-bridge, and was drowned. On the tide receding the body was discovered im bedded in the mud on the north shore, and removed to the dead-house of Allhallows Barking, Seething-lane, to be owned, and for an inquest; it is that of a female about 30, fair com plexion, and respectably dressed. coroner's inquest wag held on Wednesday at Rochdale ' to inquire into t h e c i rcumstances attending the death of William Mills, a carter, aged twenty six years. On the 4th of October the deceased and some other men were drinking at a public-house in the town, and appeared to have got into a squabble, half-fight, half-play, in which Mills was borne to the floor and struck or kicked about the back of the neck by James Ashworth, a farmer in the neigh bourhood of Blue Pits. The result of the kicks or blows was complete paralysis of the lower extremities, partial paralysis of the upper members, and an impediment to the free action of the kidneys and other viscera. He was re moved to his home, and medical aid procured, but all that the best skill could effect was unavailing, and the man died - on Friday last. The paralysis was not however the imme diate cause of death, but " bed sores," the result of the long confinement to which he was subjected. Ashworth was taken before the magistrates immediately after the unfortunate oc currence at the public-house, and liberated on recognizances to appear 'when called for to answer any charge arising out of it; he has also been sued in the County Court for assault ing Mills, and was ordered to pay 301. damages, the last in stalment of which he paid some days ago; and he attended with his solicitor before the coroner to answer any charge that may there be made against him. On maki ng a post morteni examination of the yit was found that the para lysis resulted from an extravastation of blood between the arch of the cavity from the spinal marrow and the spinal cord itself, this pressed on the latter with considerable force. The inquest was adjourned to the 7th of May. The point as to the share that Ashworth had in the fatality may prove a nice one. It is stated that W. R. Collett, Esq., has declined the invitation of the democratic section of the Lincoln Con servatives to contest the city at the next election, and that the Protection Society have determined to give their support to Sir E. B. Lytton, Bart , as the second Protectionist candi date.— StaVb t d Mercury. COLCI IESTER.—The total population of the sixteen parishes comprising this borough is 19,344, exhibiting an increase of 1,554 over the census of 1841—rather a small ratio compared with many other towns of similar size. An excess of female population seems almost universal ; but in this respect Colchester is somewhat remarkable in show ing a difference of nearly 2,000 on the side of the ladies! The following is a summary :—Houses inhabited, 4,939; ditto uninhabited, 301 : ditto building, 14; total, 5,.154. Population, males, 8,723; females, 10,621 • total, 19,344. Total population in 1841, 17,790; increase in 1851, 1,554.

The workmen employed on the Vierzon Railway, near Riom, struck on the 11th, and left off work, demanding to have two hours accorded them per day for their breakfast and dinner, in place of an hour and a half. About 150 left the line, and with their tools on their shoulders entered the town. Not more than 30 men remain still at work. The men who struck were, in general, labourers employed in the cuttings.— Ga/ignuni. As the master-tailor of the 24th Light Infantry, stationed in the barracks de l'Etape, at Orleans, was, three days ago, quietly dining with his wife, the floor of the apart ment suddenly gave way, and they were precipitated to the cellar, together with all the furniture, &c. By extraordinary good luck, neither the man nor his wife were injured. The accident was caused by the sudden giving way of a rotten boara, , Galignani, • TBE ENAMEL LED DAGUERREOTYP -E The process of enarnellieg the Deguerreotypc , vented by Mr. Beard, and to which we briefly al' luded in The Sun of Thursday, is, we are satisfied, by far the most important improvement in the art, of photography which has been introduced since Daguerre produced his first photograph.

Various were the devices pro- posed to fix and maintain the photograph in its tine splendour, but all proved unsucceesful, and it seemed as though evanescence was to be for evet the fate of the Daguerreotype.

Some dispute took place aboui , the non-admission of shareholders who had neglected to PO their last call, which ended by their not bei ng a llowed t° take part in the proceedings. Mr. Kennedy, ti.e secretary , read a very voluminous report, from which it appeared that the enormous claims of a few dissentient shareholders to be repaid their original advances with interest, prior to the dig' solution of the old company, which they maintained by a Pe" tition in Chancery, had been dismissed by Vice-Chancello r Bruce, and slice that period the same parties had been lea to offer a compromise. The accounts showed that (the Om expended by the company in the last twelve month!, amounted to 8,0001., and th ere was a b a l ance at the banker ' of 1,101/. 55. 11d. The report was adopted. A resolution was passed appointing Messrs. Cunningham and Wilkinson to represent the old company in negotiating with the SP!: nish directors of the new company. Another resolution was passed for allowing the trustees to take legal proceeding s against the dissentient shareholders for the expenses the company had been put to by their litigation.
