A•• g Zcs 1 _ LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 1853. as to the selection of a name from a list of Li beral Candidates, all of them gentlemen of high qualifications. The Earl recommended that Mr. HORSMAN, on account of connexion with the FITZWILLIAM family, should not be a Candidate, his son, the Hon. G. W. FITZWILLIAIf, being Member for the Borough already. Mr. ConNE WALL awls was selected. Now, it would have been higher-minded of the Earl to decline any remark whatever ; still we may allow that a Peer's ' friendly advice might be taken by gentlemen who deemed his knowledge of public life better than their own, without intending to make any corrupt use of it. There were, however, other facts prov ing that the Earl had not been so scrupulous as his best friends could wish him to have been. We quite acquit him of anything like deliberate inten tion to corrupt, or even• very harshly to override the popular wish. Any candidate in " the MIL TON interest" would, of course, be a Liberal one ; but probably the majority of Peterborough Libe rals, would like " something more tha n a Whi g ' , now, and to the extent of that " som ethin g more' the influence of Earl FITZWILLIAM is most likely repressive on the Liberal party in the borough. His Lordship has, we believe, a thoroughly a orou la gnhdelydchief. feudal conception of the deference due to His offering his son, the twoHon.o ye. W.arsWo.f age, to when hardly twenty.- to the electors of t he West Riding of Yorkshire, and to fill, t o o, the place of Lord MORPETH, and be the colleague of RICHARD COBDEN, shows that the want of the first tuhe considered ar istocratic descent to be a compen sation for extreme youth, th,an d appropriate do he wa almost every qualificationy in the kingdom. We have no doubt, therefore, that Earl FITZ WILLIAM has, as strongly as his political creed and antecedentspermit, much more th e f ee li ng that Peterbofe elinggh ought to go with him, than that he ought to go with Peterborough. Till the time of the Reform Bill, indeed, the FITZ WILLIAM family had no competitors. They were the borough of Peterborough, they returned whom they pleased, and the electors deemed themselves happy to be represented by the nominees of a Whig Lord. The Reform Bill, however, although intended to give the Whig aristocracy the triumph over the Tory section, ruffled, nevertheless, the composure of some Whig boroughs too, and Peter borough has been contested since that period four times by Conservatives unsuccessfully, and twice (successfully at the poll) by Mr. WHALLEY in the Liberal and independent interest. This was na turally a greater offence than the opposition of a Conservative, and it seems as if the MILTON in terest had never been more indignant than with this Liberal defeat. At least it is now that we hear electors complain of " interference." Of personal interference the report entirely acquits the Earl ; of indirect interference they more than imply that there was too much. The Crowns were au old payment of 10s. each to all electors who choose to apply for it, till the time of the Reform Bill. The defence was that it had become an heirloom, which the Earl felt bound in honour not to discontinue. It plainly appeared, how ever, that they were regarded as influencing votes, since in 1837 the Conservative party' subscribed to present " Blue Crowns," on account of the dis advantage at which they were placed by the FITZ WILLIAM crowns. Also, that if any candidate split his vote he received but one crown, and if 'he voted wholly wrong, none from the Earl. In February this year it was stated the agent received orders to pay the crowns irrespectively of votes. The agents, however, did not pay them to several of Mr. WHALLEY'S - voters, and no rebuke followed. Another charge, the raising of rents to the dis affected, must be regarded as sustained. The Earl is the chief landlord of Peterborough, his rents are acknowledged to be easy, and of course he has a right to obtain what rent he can. The fact, however, is, that advanced rent was demanded of none but those who voted wrong. It was as serted to he a merely casual coincidence. The public, however, can draw but one conclusion. Proofs of withdrawal of custom are naturally of a vague and inconclusive kind. We are willing to give Earl FITZWILLIAM the benefit of that vague ness ; but of one mode of interference, that of aiding a petition against Mr. WHALLEY, there could be no manner of doubt. Mr. WILKINSON, who conducted the petition, received 5001. by cheque from the Earl ; also 4001. and 6001. from Mr. WALKER, chairman of the MILTON interest committee. "Nor has it been distinctly shown," say the committee, "from whence these sums re ceived from Dr. WALKER were supplied." In a word, there is little doubt that Mr. WHALLEY was unseated on a petition, the expenses of which were paid by the Earl, who had counsel's opinion taken first as to its probable success. The FITZWILLIAM case is a good one for honest Reformers to study, because it is by no means a glaringly offensive one. The Earl inherits the feeling of family influence, and he uses measures of intimidation, or resorts to donations in the most natural form ; yet he is a really liberal Peer. Every candid man, however, must confess that he was drawn beyond the line of duty. " Crowns" are but annual bribery, and easy rents, which should be a wealthy man's plan for possessing a regularly paying tenantry, have been perverted into a means of intimidation or of punishment. Abetting the petition against a Member of the Lower House, is defended by no one. Mr. WALPOLE'S Bill would do some good at Peterborough ; it would make the agents and the crown-taker more cautious, but the tenants would be left as unprotected as ever ; nor do we see how they could be reasonably protected, while the poll-books recorded their fidelity or their treason to the MILTON interest. According to the latest advices received in this country from Vienna, the state of siege is at length about to be raised in Lombardy, Hungary, and the Venetian territories, Time enough in what Baillie NICHoL JARVIE would call "ma con science !" During the last four or five years the state of siege has been maintained in those pro vinces of the Austrian empire without lenity or intermission. To such an extent has this system of political repression been carried by the impe rial councils of Schoenbrunn, that all this while the countries owning obedience to the Em peror FRANCIS JOSEPH have been ruled, not by an olive rod or a golden sceptre, but by the iron sword of a powerful, inexorable, and implacable military despotism. Venetians, Hungarians, and Lombards have alike groaned under the weight of that formidable authority— the authority of an alien and infuriated conqueror. It is'not surprising, therefore, that the success of the German Legions—achieved in one direction by treason among their enemies, and in another by the simple force of good generalship—should have been followed up by massacre, hanging, shooting, imprisonment, and confiscation. The Austrians were too nearly beaten to forgive when the tide once turned in their favour. Besides which, they were the less disposed to be magnani mous, remembering that that change of fortune was owing not so much to their own valour as to the brute force of Russian assistance—the despic able poltrooning of the Lombards—the infamous defection of the traitor GORGEY—the desertion of the heroic King CHARLES ALBERT and his brave Piedmontese—the insulation of the veteran PEPE and his patriotic little band of followers. It was another illustration, in fact, of that wise aphorism of NAPOLEON, that whenever the victorious army at the close of a battle betrays a more than usually ferocious lust of vengeance, you may be certain that its leader, at one time of the day, was very nearly being defeated ignominiously. Austria could not forget the triumphant rush of the Magyars from the rallying point of Debreczin up to the very walls of Vienna. Her rulers could not lose the remembrance of the fall of BUDA, or of the rising of Peterwardein. They bore too vividly and painfully in recollection the driving back of their soldiers to the northern frontiers of Lom bardy—they could not reflect without fury on the chivalrous defence of the sea-girt Venice—they could not endure to think for an instant calmly upon the successive disgrace of aged warriors like WELDER and WINDISCHGRATZ. So that when once the change of fortune commenced, they revealed a thirst for revenge the like of which for cruelty has happily seldom or never before now been wit nessed. The treason of GoRGEY was the signal for this bitter vengeance in Hungary. The discom fiture of the daring band at bay in the palace of the Foscari was the point of time from which may be dated a similar outbreak of brutality against the hapless Venetians. The unexpected triumph of the valiant old RA DETZKY, the downfall of the heroic CHARLES ALBERT, that triumph and that downfall which occurred amidst the roaring slaugh ter of the Novara, gave the word for a like dis- PlaY of implacable phrenzy against the once more down. t ro dd en and degraded people of Lom bardy.

Supposing, that is to say th a t any reliance can be placed upon the accu racy of the information---which, however, we are rather disposed to question. We doubt, in a word, whether Austria is in a position to loosen the chains she has allowed to remain rivetted during so protracted an i nterval—added to which no doubt in the event of t heir removal, whether that act of the Viennese Cabinet might not origi nate at least another Hungarian revolution. Although there is a general concurrence of opinion with respect to the extraordinary advan tages attaching to a decimal system of currency, there is by no means a similar unanimity as to the mode in which the proposed change should be carried into practical operation, so as to produce the minimum of inconvenience during the period of transition. Many persons whose observations display great acuteness, combined with consi derable practical knowledge of the question under consideration, have taken exceptions to various recommendations of the committee, more particul a rly to those suggesting the pound sterling as the unit of the new system, and limiting the contemplated cop per coinage to pieces of one, two, and five mils, and thereby ignoring the coin of four mils, analogous to the penny, which otherwise might be retained in circulation for a considerable time, the change of value--only 4 per cent.—being of compara tively trivial importance. There certainly appears to be much weight attachable to these objections, and as it is of the utmost importance that the change when effected should be final, so as to have no further tampering with the circulating medium, it is exceedingly desirable that the matter should receive the most ample discussion, and most calm and attentive consideration, before the measure for effecting the important alterations should be -brought before Parliament. example on a large scale, by substituting five mils in place of four for the penny in postage, and wherever else it is payable. . . the "PETERBOROUGH - influence hands of the Earl FITZWILLIAIVI. w hSuch pithy statement of Mr. DOD ; and the report of in the s the committee obtained by Mr. BRIGHT, though of the gentlest kind, being little more than a re cord of facts, goes far to verify the truth of Mr. DOD'S " electoral fact." Of few Noblemen are the public less disposed to believe anything harsh and tyrannical than of Earl FITZWILLIAM-auy thing mean or degrading would be justly held to be impossible ; and the evidence shows very plainly that his Lordship was careful to avoid the .appearanee of evil. It is, however, undeniably evident that the influence of Milton Ilan was that I of fear and hope, as well as the unquestionably legitimate one,of respect and attachment. Earl FITZWILI4AIdS, opwion, for instance, was taken There can be no doubt that in one respect the retention of the pound sterling either as the unit, or easily convertible thereto, is of great prac tical importance. It is, as stated by the com mittee, the term in which all contracts of any im poitance are framed, the basis on which all our transactions with other nations rests. Any change in its actual value, or complication of accounts, would be so very injurious as to render it any thing but an improvement. The adoption of the present florin as the unit, would, however, not lead to any difficulty, as the cutting off a single figure would at once convert the florins into pounds sterling, and there would then be no ne cessity of going beyond two places of decimals, or below cents, in the denominations of coin. The value of the English cent, would thus be more analogous to the similar denominations of other countries, than if it were ten times more valuable, as suggested by the committee, and the " mil " would be altogether avoided. We believe that there would be very beneficial results arising from this change, without any practical inconvenience worth mentioning. But then it i;said, that this would not meet the objection as to thd retention of the smaller coins now in use ; whereas, if we took a florin of 20 pence, it would leave the penny exactly equal to five cents of the new system. There are many points in favour of this proposition which will be found well worthy of consideration. We do not at present assert that ultimately it will be deemed more eligible than the existing florin, and it would be a serious drawback that it would be but the one-twelfth in place of one-tenth of the pound. But, still, it should not be dismissed until the comparative advantages and disadvantages have been carefully compared and fully and accurately tested. There is still abundant time to do so be fore the reassembling of Parliament, and we trust that monetary reformers will bestow the attention on the subject which it so eminently merits. car ried o til u e t :fir s si a ;pin an t, d ;: vi t t o h thet ra h u e ch un ap it pa o r f ent tru n t e h w , accounts fo r system, i t is stated, that the al remarkable—_that, which this the isolation as to money rency has ever b it : ay suggestion of the committee will, if car this country has hitherto been of that tl:e acilisvoisiuo e rn : a t , o t :t e e: ni b t y iinn,f,alnl o a sim la il rg a e r r dec t i h m an al c t u h r e, - whteether, there w serreorpo classes,e l a vh n a y te o v t e h r er . nat . ion there never centesimal b e.

" Until this week when three cargoes of new currants have been reported from Patras, there had been no direct arrivals for a month past. The Continent appears to be stripped of nearly all its stock, but every fresh ad vance in price here still brings forward small stray parcels of 1851 fruit. The clearances continue nearly on a level with those of last August, having been 340 tons for con sumption from Ist to 19th inst., against 370 tons from Ist to 19th August, 1852, reducing our London stock on 15th inst. to about 4,000 tons. At this period in 1852 we were receiving largely from the Continent, from whence we continued to be heavily supplied till the end of the year. As this cannot be the case this year, and as 'the direct arrivals will consist of new fruit, with very little old, it is obvious that the scarcity of old fruit will be seriously felt towards winter, and that still higher prices of both kinds must be the result. The Board of Trade returns for the first 6 months of this year show the consumption of the United Kingdom to have been 6,010 against 9,070 in 1852, or a falling of off 3,060 tons in six months, which is less than might have been expected, considering that in the former period prices ruled from 28s. to 365., and in the latter from 60s. to 85s. per cwt. Moreover, the clearances of May and June last were partly checked by the uncertainty respecting a reduc tion in duty. Our report of 6th inst. advised an ad vance of ss. per cwt. on good old Fruit, owing to ex tensive purchases by the trade. The Market remained inactive until 17th inst. when worse intelligence than any previously received respecting the crops, led imme diately to large operations in good and fine Fruit on speculation. The result has been a further advance in such descriptions of 6s. to Bs. per cwt, at which the gro cers have disposed of the principal portion of what they had previously bought with a view of holding for the autumn demand. Ordinary 1851 fruit and new fruit have been quite neglected ; of the former there is none to be had below 80s and 84s. The clearances of raisins for consumption have proceeded latterly on a reduced scale, limited princip a lly to black Smyrn a ra i s i ns . Th e Board of Trade returns for the first six months show a comparative deficit of 475 tons in the consumption of the United Kingdom during the first six months of this year, which arose from the stoppage of clearances during six weeks, but which will have been made up under the reduced duty. The market has been quiet for some time past, but the consumption is expected to be large." The steamer Valetta with the overland mail arrived at Marseilles this morning.

A favourable feature in the aspect of Austra lian emigration is the large class of ships now chartered and employed by the Emigration Commissioners. The Herefordshire is a noble frigate-built ship, of 1,354 tons register, or over 1,600 burden, belonging to Mr. Fergusson, of London, well known for her rapid pas sages while engaged for conveying troops to and from various parts of the world. The use of such large and roomy ships is of immense advantage to the health and comforts of the emigrants during their long voyage. The sleeping berths being arranged on the main deck, the ports, in such a ship as the Hereford. shire, can always be kept open if necessary, and thus adequate ventilation is secured. On board the Here fordshire, the arrangements seemed to be of the best de scription in every respect, and all the members of this large party, crew, passengers, and emigrants, consisting of nearly 450 people, seemed contented and happy at the commencement of their arduous voyage. Just prior to departure the emigrants were addressed respectively by Mr. Smith the government emigiation agent at this port, and by the Rev. Mr. Scotland, the chaplain of the Southampton depot. Their attentive demeanour d uring the delivery of the two excellent addresses delivered by these gentlemen proved how much the advice conveyed to them was appreciated, and they testified their satisfaction at the measures adopted for their comfort by repeated and hearty bursts of cheering as the steam tender left the side of the vessel for the shore. 154 Bibles and 220 prayer books, besides tracts and other religious works, were gratuitously distributed among the people going out in this ship by the Rev. Mr. Scotland, who, in these matters, acts most indefatigably as the agent of the British and Foreign Bible and the Christian Knowledge Societies. The Herefordshire takes out nearly 1,200 tons of manufactured goods of all sorts for the Australian markets, at rates of freight varying from 80s. to 90s. per ton. Her voyage will doubtless be a remunerative one to her owners, and nothing has been or will be left undone by her popular and gentle manly commander to contribute to the happiness and welfare of the large number of people committed to his charge. The surgeon of this vessel, to whom the official care of the emigrants is intrusted by the commissioners, is Dr. Thornton, a gentleman of consi derable experience in the management of this description of business, having already made two voyages of a similar nature to Australia. The Herefordshire is the only emigrant vessel yet dispatched from this port which has not embarked the passengers in the Southampton Docks. This arises from her being a heavy teak-built ship, of a draught of water exceeding that of ordinary ships of her size, and the owner, therefore, demurred to permitting her to go into the tidal basin. It is right, however, to state that ships of much larger size con stantly enter and leave these docks ; for example, the West India, Peninsular, and American steam-ships of sizes varying from 2,000 to 2,800 tons, and in 1851 the United States' frigate St. Lawrence, of 50 guns (a ship far surpassing the Herefordshire in tonnage), came into the docks with all her guns and stores on board, to dis charge her cargo for the Great Exhibition. SMOKELESS FURNACES.—A patent under this title has been recently secured by Mr. Lee Stevens, which for simplicity and effectiveness is well worthy of public attention. The invention consists in an arrangement by which the hot cinders from the fire box falling on a grate underneath are there turned to account in heating a current of air, which, passing into the furnace, pre vents the generation of smoke. Two favourable examples of the workinc , of the patent were exhibited yesterday, and gave great satisfaction to those who wit nessed them. The arrangement is applicable to all furnaces, and involves only a, trifling expense. It has the advantage of striking at the root of the smoke nui sance, and preventing instead of curing it. —Times.

Important application for discharge from custody after refusal of protection. IN RE MILES AND MILES. These bankrupts had carried on business in the Mile end-road as drapers, and the certificate was suspended for two years—no protection to be granted for six months. Mr. Plews (Lawrance and Plews), now applied for the discharge of one of the bankrupts who been taken in execution, and now in the Queen's Bench Prison. The bankrupt had kept out of the way for 15 months, and then obtained a situation, but was arrested. It was contended that after the six months had expired the bankrupt was entitled to protection, or if in custody, to his discharge, there being no condition in the order of the Commissioner that the bankrupt should imprisoned for that time before protection should be granted. His Honour—What is the operative meaning of the word "refusal" of protection—the order is that the cer tificate be refused for 2 years, without protection for six months ? Shr.Paidl 25 25 St. 50 St. St. St. St. Mr. Plews—But the protection is only refused for six months, and a bankrupt is al ways at the mercy of his creditors for that time, and when that period has expired he is entitled to protection. Mr. Mason, for the assignees, opposed the application on the ground that the bankrupt had kept out of the way, in contempt of the Court, and the other bankrupt had absconded. He contended that there had been an evasion of the act, avid that the bankrupt was not en titled to his discharge. His Honour agreed. The refusal of protection would be a mere nullity if such applications were granted. The refusal of protection was intended as a punishment, and a mode of affording creditors facilities. It was not in tended that a bankrupt unprotected should be allowed to come in and surrender one day before the limited time, and the day after apply for his discharge. Application refused. 20 20 50 20 12 124. 25 10 6 123 126.. St. St. St. St. 20 Lo6l 10 20 20 33A 10 20 ~- )1111, COURT CIRCULAR. OSBORNE, AUG. 24.

Yesterday the important act to substitute in certain cases other punishment in lieu of transportation, was issued. It will come into force on Friday week. After the commencement of the act (from and after the Ist of September) no person is to be sentenced to transporta tion, except for life, or 14 years, or upwards. Any per son who might have been sentenced to transportation for a term less than 14 years, is to be liable, at the dis cretion of the court, to be kept in penal servitude. Per sons liable to transportation for 14 years or upwards, or for life, may still be sentenced to transportation, or to penal servitude. The following terms of penal servi tude are to be awarded instead of the present terms of transportation. Instead of transportation for 7 years, or for a term not exceeding 7 years, the penal servitude is to be a term of 4 years. Instead of any term of transportation exceeding 7 years, and not exceeding 10 years, the penal servitude is to be not less than 4, and not exceeding 6, years. Instead of transportation ex eeeding 10, and not exceeding 15 years, the penal ser vitude is to be for not less than 6, and not exceeding 8 years ; where it exceeds 15 years, the penal servitude is to be not less than 6, and not exceeding 10 years ; and instead of transportation for life, the penal servitude be for the term of life ; and in every case where, at the dis cretion of the Court, one of any two or more of the terms of transportation might have been awarded, the Court shall have the like discretion to award one of the tyro or more terms of penal servitude in relation to such term of transportation. There are three clauses in the act with regard to tickets of leave in the United Kingdom, and the system is now to be tried for the first time in this country. It is declared to be lawful for her Majesty, by an order in writing under the hand and seal of one of the principal secretaries of state,to grant to any convict now under sen tence of transportation, or who may hereafter be sen tenced to transportation, or to any punishment substi tuted for transportation by this act, a license to be at large in the 'United Kingdom and the Channel Islands, or in such parts thereof respectively as in such license shall be expressed, during such portion of his or her term of transportation or imprisonment, and upon such con ditions in all respects as to her Majesty shall seem fit, and it shall be lawful for her Majesty to revoke or alter such license by a like order at her Majesty's pleasure. So long as such license shall continue in force and unre. yoked such convict shall not be liable to be imprisoned or transported by reason of his or her sentence, but shall be allowed to go and remain at large according to the terms of such license. On a license being revoked the convict may be apprehended and committed to prison. After the commencement of the act persons convicted of larceny, after previous conviction for felony, are not liable to transportation. The act is not to affect the discretion of criminal courts as to alternative punish ment, which may be in addition to the punishment now substituted for transportation. THE CABINET.—It is rumoured in circles likely to be well informed, that the present Cabinet before February next will have an addition of two members, viz., Viscount Canning and Mr. Cardwell ; indeed, the absence of the latter from the secret committee of the Privy Council, as William Cobbett described it once, has been the sub ject of some surprise. So has been the young Duke of Argyll's appointment to the office of Lord Privy Seal- - a sinecure usually holden by some old and decayed member of the ruling party.—Morning Advertiser. THE EARL OF CARLISLE IN THE EAST.—We under stand that this distinguished nobleman purposes to ex tend his visit to the East so far as the plains bordering on the Indus. According to the last accounts, he was exploring the most interesting parts of Egypt. THE WELLINGTON COLLEGE TESTIMONIAL.

The sum remitted from India, up to June last, was 20,0001., making the present subscription list to amount to more than 103,0001. DEATH OF THE DOWAGER LADY POLWARTH.--ThiS lady died, on the 19th inst., at Rogate Lodge. The de ceased was the daughter of Count Bruhl, for many years Saxon Minister at this Court, and of Alicia Maria, Countess of Egremont. Her ladyship had attained the advanced age of 80. DEATH OF LORD SUFFIELD.—This nobleman died on the 22d instant, at the age of 40. The deceased noble man, Edward Vernon Harbord, was son of the third holder of the title, by Georgiana Venables Vernon, only (laughter and heiress of George Venables, second Lord Vernon. He succeeded his father in 1825, and in the same year married Charlotte Susanna, only daughter of Allan Hyde, second Lord Gardiner, by whom he has not had any issue. Lord S iffielcl was formerly a pro minent member of the turf, bat, having fallen into diffi culties, was obliged to abandon the " green sod" and reside for some years on the Continent. The Hon. Charles Harbord, half brother to the deceased, succeeds to the title and what remains of the family estates. The father of the deceased was killed in 1825 by an accidental fall from his horse. The family descends from Sir Charles Harbord, Knight, Surveyor-General to Charles I. The patrimonial estates are situate in the counties of Norfolk and Lancaster. COMPLIMENT TO AN ENGLISH MUSICIAN.—The direc tion of the grand concerts of the Gewandhaus, at Leipzic, presided over by Mendelssohn up to the time of his death, has been offered to Mr. Sterndale Bennett.

ABERDEENSHIRE.—At Corriemulzie, Mr. Duff's party have had excellent sport. The sportsmen in the neigh bourhood of Ballater are getting first-rate sport, each, at an average, is knocking down his 50 brace daily. The sportsmen in Brwmar., &c., are bringing down the grouse right and left, and deer in abundance. In the upper part of Deeside the grouse has not been seen more plenti ful for many years, arid every sportsman is in the expec tation of having a si?lendid season. At Glenavon the forest swarms with birds. CAITHNEss-sfuRE.--The annual campaign against the furred and feathered tenants of the moors and woods was opened with considerable success on Friday last, and the hopes entertained by sportsmen have been fully verified. Birds are reported as numerous and strong, and there is every reason to expect good sport this year ; at least the success already experienced augurs well for the remainder of the season. We have not heard of the success of the shooting in the immediate neigh bourhood, but we observe that additional arrivals are still increasing the irumber of sportsmen in this quarter. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. 90, Mosley-:street, Manchester, Aug. 23, 1853. observe i.n your report of the proceedings at the Leeds Northern. Railway Meeting on Saturday last, contained in yesterday's Sun a mis-statement to which I beg to direct your attention. The report in question contains the following para graph : " After a long an d somewhat angry discussion, during which Mr. Johnson, as an original shareholder, declared he would oppose the any: lgamation in every possible way, un less the reference WV bS coupled with the amalgamation, and Mr. Crawford, on tbte part of the Preference Shareholders' Committee, protest( that they would never concede the reference. Mr. Watson, of York, suggested a middle course between the two, and after a conference between the two parties the amendment was withdrawn, and the following substituted :" The inference to be drawn from this statement plainly is, that Mr. Johnson, as an original shareholder, and I, on the part of the I?reference Shareholders' Committee, held a conference which terminated in our agreeing upon the resolution after wards carried—although that resolu tion, far from adopting a "imiddle course," actually authorised applicai:ion to Parliament to legalise the "reference," the very point in dispute. I beg most distinctly to state this was not the fact. Mr. Watson conferi•ed with Mr. Johnson and other ori ginal shareholders om the subject of the resolution, but neither I nor any olr my colleagues had anything to do with the matter. On the contrary, we first formally protested, and then voted against the resolution. As (independently . of the unpleasantness of being re presented to have co ticeded what just before one is describ ed as having "prote sled," never should be conceded,) it is of very material importance that no misapprehension as to the course adopt e d by the Preference Shareholders' Committee should exist, you will, I trust, excuse my requesting that, hat ring given publicity to the misstate ment, you will in ji totice give insertion to this letter in correction.—l am, !sir, your most obedient servant, WILLIAM CRAWFORD.
