LIVERPOOL CUP. sto 1 on The Field 6 to 1 agst Special License 7to 1 agst Giles 7 to 1 aget Wardermarske 12 to 1 aget Cotswold We regret to have to announce the death of Mr. Archibald Hastie, M.P. for Paisley, which took place at Edinburgh on Monday last. Mr. Hastie had been much indisposed for some months; but it was hoped, until recently, that the strength of his constitution would enable him to recover. He was in his 65th year. Mr. Hastie was in many respects a remarkable man. He was descended of respectable parents in the West of Scotland. He had merely the common school e lucation of his country, but that and his maize sense fitted him to fill with credit various important situations. At an early period his brothers settled iu Calcutta, where they carried on business partly as coach builders and partly as merchants, while he settled in London, acting partly as their agent and partly speculating on his own account. The whole family were very successful. At a later period Mr. Hastie became connected with the East India Docks, and his sagacity and ability were eminently displayed in the skill and success with which he assisted in rescuing that important concern from the depression into which its affairs had sunk after the cessation of its monopoly. A purchase which he effected of some property in Lanarkshire has also turned out to be extremely advantageous. In 1830 Mr. Hastie was elected member of Parliament for Paisley—a distinction on which he set a high value. And it maybe said that it cost him a high price, for owing to the severe distress with which his constituents were frequently visited very heavy demands were made upon him, which he suet with the greatest generosity and goodwill. In politics Mr. Hestia was an indepen dent consistent Liberal, and voted uniformly with that party in Parliament. In private life he was in the highest degree generous, open-hearted, and friendly. Hie hospitalities were conducted on a large and a liberal scale. He was the owner of Burns' punch-bowl, and the celebrations of the poet's birthday held at his house were by far the best of such festivals. GLASGOW, Nov. 10. To-day a great run was made on the Union, City of Glasgow, and National Security Savings Banks, but the demands were promptly met, and about two o'clock the run-had greatly decreased. The National Security Savings Bank paid out Commercial Bank notes, which caused a run on that bank, but gold was promptly supplied.

G - LASt4OW, MONDAY 7 P. M. To-day at 2 o'clock the W es t ern Bank suspended payment, the following notice being postel on the doors : EXCHEQUER COURT. (Sittings at Guildhall—Before Mr. 13;;on Martin, and a Common jury.) CROSS V. SIIIRLEY.—WAR PASTIMES. - • " The directors of the Western Bank regret to say that in consequence of their having been unable to obtain the necessary assistance to carry the bank through the pre sent monetary crisis, they have been compelled to sus pend payment until further notice." This was an action for the recovery of a sum of 1561., brought by the plaintiff, a huntsman, against General Shirley, late of the Turkish Contingent. The declara tion stated that the plaintiff entered the defendants ser- The bank was no sooner closed than great crowds of people assembled in front of the building, many of them with looks of dismay intimating their immedi ate loss, while others apparently came only to specu late on the affairs of the bank. Great dismay was caused among the note-hoiders ; for, as many public works get their supplies of wages money from the Western Bank, large numbers of them are poor people. A general rush was made to got rid of Western notes, and instances are known of con siderable discount being offered. This, of course, occurred only among the most ignorant classes, for men of business lin9w very well that the notes are a perfect security for ultimate payment. Various statements are made as to the immediate cause of the' suspension, the most generally believed being the severepressure on the part of depositors, accom panied by American losses and a want of assistance from the other banks. Circulars are being sent out to the creditors, containing assurance that full payment will speedily be made if the directors are supported by the forbearance of creditors. • A meeting of shareholders is called for the 2d of Decemer. vice as kennel huntsman, and to do all that was required of him in reference to the hounds at Si. a mouth, with food, clothing, lodging, and to give him a free passage out and home from Turkey. The plaintiff pleaded— first, that he did not promise as alleged ; second'y, that he did pay and supply the plaintiff according to the agreement ; thirdly, that the defendant did provide him with a passagehome, but the plaintiff refused to accept it, and had discharged the defendant from such part of the promise ; fourthly, never indebted ; and, fifthly, that befere the commencement of the action he had satisfied the plaintiff's claim. It appeared from the evidence that is the end of the year 1855 General Shirley was about to proceed to Turkey, in consequence of the Rue. sian war, when he felt disposed to take with him a pack of hounds with which to wile away his leisure hours, and partly, probably, as the learned counsel observed, to astonish the natives. Re accordingly applied to Mr. Tattersall, who procured the plaintiff, and entered into au agreement with him on the defendant's account. The agreement was in writing, signed by the plain- The Mail publishes the following announcement in a second edition : tiff and Mr. Tattersall, and dated 28th December, 1855. The plaintiff was to be paid Si. per month, and provided with food, clothing, and lodging, and a passage out and home. On the sth January, Mr. Tat tersall paid the plaintiff 51., and another 51. on the 9th, for which credit was given. On the 3th January, the plaintiff put the hounds on board"a vessel at Deptford, and on the 10th sailed with them for Constantinople. He arrived with them all safe on the 11th February, and waited on the defendant, who sent him with the hounds to a - place 40 miles from Constantinople. On the 28th May he received a letter from the defendant stating that he believed he had sold the hounds, and would let him hear further. The hounds ultimately changed hands, but the defendant still continued to at tend to them, awaiting the defendant's further orders , and it was on the letter, about which there appeared to be a misunderstanding that the action was brought. When the plaintiff got to Constantinople he found the defendant had left, and was unable to avail himself of a free passage home in a Government trans port. He ultimately came home in charge of Mr. Ware's horses, giving his services, which be reckoned worth 151., and claimed of the defendant for his passage home. The defence was, that the demand was an extortion, but the defendant was willing to pay him liberally during the time the plaintiff was in the defendant's employ. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages, 1381. 7s. 6d. " We have the distressing intelligence to com municate that the Western Bank suspended pay ment at two o'clock this afternoon. This event was not altogether unexpected, but is not the less deplored. We understand that circulars will be issued to duo creditors communicating details and' suggesting measures to be pursued, which, with for.: bearance and calm self-possession on the part of the public, may avert many of the, calamitous effects which would otherwise result from such a catastrophe. There is scarcely such another bank in Scotland which, if time is allowed by the credi tors, is so well able to draw upon the resources of 1 its wealthy proprietary. The holders of notes in the bank would do well not to part with them at discount, as we have no doubt that ultimate pay- i ment in full is certain. Of the suspension of the firm of Messrs. Dennis toun, Cross, and Co., of London, Liverpool, and this city, the Mail of this morning remarks : " This is the first calamity which has befallen Glasgow in consequence of the American difficulties, but it is one of colossal magnitude—Messrs. Den nistoun and Co. being one of the oldest, most wealthy, and honourable of our firms. There can be little doubt, we think, from the well-known re sources of the house, that its engagements will ulti mately be liquidated in full. Very exaggerated re ports have been going, we understand, with respect to the advances of the Union Bank of Scotland to the Messrs. Dennistoun. The firm, we believe, had no discount account with that bank, and any mode rate advances made to it are secured." CITY SHERIFP'S COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) TIIE LIVERPOOL BOROUGH BANE. IMPORTANT DECISION UPON THE LIABILITY OP SHOP- LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY. BEEPERS.-BAD MONET. --- TODHUNTER V. SCOTT. Pursuant to an advertisement in the local jour nals, an extraordinary general meeting of the pro prietors of the Borough Bank was held at the office in Water-street, at noon to-day, for the purpose of receiving a statement of the affairs and concerns of the company, and also of assenting to, or dissent'ng from, a resolution to be then proposed for regis tering the company under the Joint-Stock Com panies' Act of 1857, and also of taking into consi deration such other measures as in the present cir cumstances of the bank may be deemed advisable. Mr. W. Rathbone, chairman of the board of direc tors, occupied the chair. There were present 103 persons, holding 36,654 shares, and proxies were held for 37 persons, holding 21,887 shares. The steps taken since the suspension of the bank were detailed by the chairman, and approved of by the shareholders, it being stated that depositors to the extent of one million had agreed to the terms proposed. This was a case in which plaintiff (late Inspector of the City Police Force), sought to recover the sum of is. for a counterfeit shilling alleged to have been taken at defendant's shop. Plaintiff said on the 16th October last, he went into defendant's (a tobacconist) shop on Holborn-hill, and purchasing half-as-ounce of shag to bacco, tendered a sovereign, and in the change received, plaintiff found after be left the shop a counterfeit shilling. Defendant said—the facts of the case were that when plaintiff purchased the tobacco, defendant's wife who was in the shop, sent to the public-house next door for change, and it was handed to plaintiff without being even counted by Mrs. Scott. The change was obtainol from the public-house especially for plaintiff's accommo dation. Plaintiff—l received the change from defendant's shop and took from there a bad shilling in part change for a good sovereign. Verdict for defendant and costs, It was then moved by Mr. A. B. Braneker, and seconded by Mr. S. Martin, "That the bulking company called the Liverpool Borough Bank be forthwith registered as a company under the Joint- Stock Banking Companies' Act of 1857." The resolution was adopted unanimously. On the motion of Mr. H. Killick, it was resolved unanimously, " That the thanks of the meeting are due and are hereby given to the committee of share holders, for their valuable services, and that they be requested to continue t o r en d er their assistance." On the motion of Mr. Brancker, seconded by Mr. J. Cropper, it was resolved unanimously, "That this meeting be adjourned till Thursday, the 12th instant, at two o'clock, for the purpose of allowing the company to be registered iu the meantime un der the Joint Stock Banking Companies' Act of 1857, and, upon such registration being effected, to receive from the directors a statement of the affairs and concerns of the.company, and to take into con sideration the propriety of winding up voluntarily under the provisions of the said Act, or of taking such other proceedings as might be deemed expe dient." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day.) MARLBORO UGH-STREET: rio A tur l ol tr d LT be ls g r ga A r, Tr w A a G e llA b it ro lr.—Ellen fle b n efo let r ;Qa m il r la . n, B a to ead no on : charged with assaulting Alexis Desati, a French gen tleman, residing at No. 8, Lisle-street, Leicester-square. The prosecutortenolelk, h oc statedewas thgatoinogn into the the Casinopreviousin night, about Newman-street, when he was accosted by the prisoner, wbo told him such a deplorable tale of her distress and suffering, that he was induced to give her fourpence. In about an hour afterwards he had occasion to leave the place, when, to his great surprise, he was again ac costed by the prisoner, who related just the same tale as she had done before, and he at once thought she was an imposter, and desired her to be off. Two ladies at that moment came up, and the p r i soner so li c it e d a lm s of them. They re f use d to listen to her, when she, with a volley of ab use , rus h ed upon them and kicked them several times. He went to their protection, when the prisoner struck him in the face, and called him a Frenchman, a thief, and an assassin. She was proceed. ing to further violence, when a constable came up, into whose custody she was at once consigned. The prisoner in defence said it was all a lie ; the pro secutor first assaulted her, but she was so chunk that she could not tell what happened. Mr. Beadon said he should refresh her memory by committing her to the House of Correction for a month. The meeting was considered private, and the foregoing accounts are of official origin. We gather from other sources that, in answer to some gluts tions put at the meeting, it was stated that not a single peunyof the bank faud.s had been lost through the personal proceedings of the directors, or the re• latives or connections of the directors. The meeting was throughout most harmonious, and the whole proceedings did not occupy more than forty minutes. THE MONET PANIC 1N PARTS. cribed asacarpenter, George Rouse, des was charged before Mr. Paynter with entering the stable of Mr. Fox, an independent gentleman, No. 48, Brompton-cres- cent, and stealing a set of coach harness, 2 horse-clotbs, and other articles, of the value of 20/. It appeared, from the evidence, that about 11 o'clock last night a female in the service of the family , who was in a room near the stable, which is in Crescent -mews, beard a noise of some o ne moving, in the stable. She looked out of the door of her room when she saw the prisoner, who was in the act of moving a quantity of harness. She gave an alarm, upon which Dawson, the stableman, reshed out of the house, when, on entering the stable, he saw the prisoner, who was in the act of taking away the harness and the other articles. Upon Dawson laying hold of him he exclaimed, " Oh, forgive me, forgive me." He was given into the custody of Ashton, 164 B, and taken to the station-house. Sergeant Moore, B 1, stated, that it was likely the prisoner got into the stable by s u teb . key. Mr. Paynter asked if the pri s oner were known ? Dennis, the gaoler, said that he had been on a former occasion at the court on a similar charge. The prisoner was remanded. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—John Cartar, plasterer, 10, New Pye-street, Westminster, was charged with attempt ing to commit suicide. , , Police-constable Dighton, 175 B, said that last night he wu on duty in Old Pye-street, when he heard a cry of " Police " at the house where the prisoner resides. On gett in g there he was told t ha t he (prisoner) had attempted to commit suicide. Witness found him on a landing, and by him was a handkerchief with which he tried to hang himself. Some one cut him down. Prisoner, who said be was drunk at the time he made the attempt on his life, was remanded. (From Galignani's Messenger.) We described very recently four distinct mea sures proposed by the Patric with the view of meeting the effects of the financial crisis ; that journal appears since to have changed its ideas on the subject, for it now advocates the simultaneous adoption of the three following measures, which, we presume, represent its definitive opinion : _ "1. A foiced circulation of bank-riotes and the immediate issue of the 50fr. notes authorised by the law of the 23d June, 1857. 2. A high duty on the export of specie, with severe measures on the part of the customs authorities and the police for the detection: and punishment of attempts at fraud. 3. The immediate reduction of the rate of discount to 6 per cent. No person would find cause of complaint in these measures. Commerce would be supplied with abundant capital at the bank ; speculators in the precious metals would ex perience the greatest difficulty in exporting specie which they could no longer obtain from the bank cellars. The bank would preserve a specie reserve corresponding with, the extension taken by its paper issue. Fiaally, money would be maintained at a reasonable price, for it is evident that it is not worth more than 6 per cent, in France at the present mo ment ; this is proved by the daily investments in railway bonds, which bear no higher interest. Let these combined measures be adopted, and France will be respected by the storm without her com merce being affected, or her prosperity diminished." The Pays takes a more favolirable view of finan cial matters, and does not appear to be highly im pressed with the wisdom of the many and conflict ing remedies proposed by its contemporaries ; it says " The unsatisfactory financial position in which the great States of the West have been placed by the folly of young America cannot be concealed. The rise of the rate of discount in all the princi pal money markets of Europe is the immediate and deplorable consequence of the disasters in the United States. But these consequences are not the only ones, for we are now called on to guard against -the export of English and French gold to the United States. We will not enter into an exami nation of the various systems which have been pro posed by the journals during the last few days ; each journal, with the very best intentions, no doubt, recognises in its own ideas the best means of putting an end, not only to the drain of specie, but to the crisis itself. Without wishing to appear op timists, or to create false allusions with respect to the position of French commerce, we do not con sider matters to be so gloomy as they are repre sented. We will remark that the rente, which last month figuredaat 66f. 50c. is at the present moment a t 67f. (it has declined since the above was written). The bullion reserves of the Bank of France amounted on Saturday last to nearly 200 milli a o s t ; 0 a year ago at the same period the reserve was The excellent harvest of this year,allowa the dis posal of resources which an unfavourable year would have absorbed. Finally the last customs return, published by the Moniteur proved beyo n d a doubt the pr os p er it y of the country.' Our contemporary concludes by affirming that the attention of government is seriously directed to measures which it is hoped wilt check the pro gress of the crisis, ANOTHER FAILURE. —In London the stoppage has been announced of Messrs. Joseph Foot and Sons, silk manufacturers, but the liabilities are not supposed to exceed 40,0001., and little doubt seems to be entertained that the assets are ample to pay 20i. in the pound.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT WITH MACHINERY.—YeAerday morning a dreadful accident occurred at the Swan Steam Saw-mills, Old Kent Road, to . John Groo m b r id ge , aged 40, a sawyer. was working at the sawing machine when, by some means, the endless chain caught his sleeve, and drew his arm in amongst the machinery. His cries brought aisistance, when he was extricated and conveyed t o Guy 's Hospital, where am putation was at once performed. THE LOSS OF THE ATHENIAN. Captain Gifford, of the packet-ship Patrick Henry, arrived at New York, reports that on Sep tember 30, lat. 46.16, long. 24.12, he fells in with 'he British barque Athenian, Stephenson, of and. for South Shields from Quebec (timber) water logged and disabled. He took from her Captain Stephenson. his mate, and 15 seamen, and brought them to New York. The Athenian had expe rienced very heavy weather, and sprung a leak, so the pumps would not free her by constant pumping, from the effects of which the crew were entirAy ex hausted. Captain Stephenson expressed his sin_ cera thanks to Captain Gifford for his kindness and attention to himself and crew while on board• his ship in the following card :—"Captain Stephenson, of the Athenian, reports—We left Quebec orr.the sth of September, and proceeded favourably for about a week towards South Shields. From this time forward, however, the wind became boiste rous, so much so that on the 16th the ship sprung a leak, and we had to keep both pumps going. On the night of the 16th the wind increased, and for two or three days the gale continued. The 22d Sept. brought with it a renewal of the gale, which had only subsided a day or two before, and at 8 p.m. on the evening of that day two of the barque's sails were rent to shreds. Almost all sail was now taken in, the pumps were worked con tinually, and the sea broke over the ship in a furious manner. The 23d and 24th Sept. brought no change. The leak, however, was visibly gaining on the efforts of the crew, whose entire time was now occupied at the pumps. On the 26;h the crew were very much exhausted, and became desirous of leay. ing the ship altogether. The 27th and 28th were not marked by anythirg very different from the state of things on the 26th. On the 29th the barque was almost waterlogged, • the sea ran very heavy, and the gale had increased. At two p.m. a tremen dous wave washed over the ship, sweeping away the bulwarks, r %flings, stanchion; tic., anal forc ing the men at the pumps almost overboard ; it also stove in several of the casks containing the necessary supply of fresh water, literally filling the cabin and the forecastle, thereby rendering them perfectly useless, and did much more injury of a smaller amount. In addition to the cabins being made useless, the stores which the cabin contained were almost spoiled by being im mersed in salt water. I then sounded the pumps, and ascertained that there were 7i feet of water in the bold, and perceiving that waterlogg'ng was in evitable, ordered some provisions and water up to the maintop, with the. intention of having every one retire there as they relieved each other at the pumps, because no portion of the deck was dry, and there was no place to retire to since the cabins were filled. At noon the barque became altogether unmanageable, and the violence of the waves sweeping over her continually prevented the men altogether from working at the pumps, for in their now totally exhausted state they were swept to leeward by every wave. On the 30th, the wind, which had lulled into stillness in the course of the preceding day, again began to in crease, and was blowiug a gale at five p.m., when a vessel was espied by one of the men at no great distance to leeward. The rays of hope, which had almost deserted everyone, now returned, and in fused new and desperate energy into their exhausted frames. lat once ordered out two of the boats, and although the sea was very heavy the orders were obeyed with the greatest alacrity. We then rowed in the direction which brought them in the course of the stranger, and with agitated minds awaited ber approach. Slowly and silently did the . stately ship near us every moment, and when she was within speaking distance, I called out to her, and the mats told us to come on board, which we did with much difficulty, after passing under the stern of the vessel. Since then we have been treated well, and the men, with the exception of two, are in a fair way of regaining their former strength." COMMERCIAL INTERCOURSE WITH (From the Leeds Mercury.) It will be recollected that during the recent visit of Dr. Livingston to this town that he met the Leeds and Bradford Chambers of Commerce at the Stock Exchange Hall, where he delivered an ad dress on " The commercial resources of Central Africa." The result was the adoption, by both Chambers of Commerce, of memorials to Lord Clarendon, requesting him to use his in finance with the Portuguese Government to secure the free navigation of the Zambesi, and to give that free dom of transit, and that freedom of commercial in tercourse in the Portuguese colonies, on both the west and east coasts of Africa, which are necessary .n order to develops the resources of these colonies, as well as of the native districts. The memorials were presented on the sth inst. to Lord Clarendon, by Lord Goderich and General Thompson. The result is explained by Lord Goderich, in the fol lowing letter to John Jowitt, juu., Esq., of this town : • " 1, Carlton-gardens, Pall-mall, London, S.W. sth November, 1857. "Dear Sir,—•l received this morning your letter of yesterday, and I have now to inform you, in reply to it, that General Thompson and myself had an interview with Lord Clarendon this afternoon, at which I pre sented to him the memorial from the Leeds Chamber of Commerce. "He listened most attentively to the statement which we made to,hiw, and gave very satisfactory assurances as to the intentions of the Government. Dr. Livingston, he said, would proceed to Lisbon with the strongest re commendations both to the King and Government of Portugal, and he assured me that he would receive the hearty support of our Minister at that Court in his efforts to secure the freedom of the navigation of the Zambesi, and the utmost facilities for commercial intercourse with the interior of Africa. " It appeared to me that Lord Clarendon entered fully into the views of the Chamber as laid down in the memo rial, and he seemed to be particularly impressed with the necessity of encouraging the growth of cotton by all practicable means. " I also brought under his notice, in accordance with the request contained in your letter, the important sub ject of tLe recent renewal of the internal slave-trade on the West Coast of Africa in consequence of the proceed ings of the French, and I am happy to say that he told me that the attention of the Government was strongly directed to the matter, and that they were in communi cation with the French. Government in respect to it. " Lord Claren 'on begged me also to assure the Cham ber that he was at all times glad to receive from such bodies information as to their views upon subjects con nected with the commercial interest of the country. " I remain, dear sir, yours faithfully, "To John Jowitt, Esq., jun." "GODERICEI. NEW MAYORS. Canterbury—Mr. Thomas Norman Wightwick (con servative).

His Majesty the King of Sardinia has also contributed a donation of 10,000 f., and several members of his Majesty's government have liberally sub scribed in aid of the fund. Information has been re ceived from Constantinople that the contributions made there already exceed 1,1001., and are expected to be considerably increased. A donation of -2701. has also been received from his Highness the Maharajah Duleep Singh, with expressions of special interest in the cases of native Christians who may have been reduced to a state of distress in consequence of the mutinies. MILITARY DINNER AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE.—The 68th Light Infantry, ■o deservedly complimented by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge on Thursday last, when he presented them with new colourß, have re ceived orders to embark for India, where, if opportunity offers, they will doubtless add to the present tame of the regiment. The officers of the corps have liberally pro proposed a farewell dinner at the Crystal Palace, and the men, accompanied by their wives and children, will leave Portsmouth at an early hour to-morrow (Thurs day) by special trains for Sydenham, where they will be summoned to the concert-room to discuss the good things to be there provided by Messrs. Staples. We wish the gallant fellows a pleasant day and a safe return from the errand of justice on which they are to be despatched. ANCHORS FOR THE LEVIATHAN.—The experiments in order to test the anchors selected by Mr. Brunel, for the Leviathan steam-ship, have been carried on for several days, at the hydraulic proof-house, Woolwich D)ckyard, in the presence of Captain Harrison, the commander of the vessel ; Mr. Atherton, chief engineer of the factory departmer.t, and Mr. Trotman, the patentee of the an chors now used for the Royal Navy. The result has proved that the anchors selected were capable of sustain- Inc , a strain much above the ordinary proof. The first anchor broke at a strain of 94 tow, in cansequer,ce of defective workmanship, but the second anchor, weigh ing 4 tons, oust fined a strain of 101 tons, when it broke from the power of the pressure, which was 90 per cent. overproof. The manufacturers of these anchors are Messrs. Henry Wood and Co., of London and Liverpool, and they are constructed on the principle of Trotrnan's patent. Upwards •f 20 anchors, recently made for the Hon. East India Company, have been condemned, as they were unable to sustain the ordinary proof strain ; and the result of the experiments with the anchors for the Leviathan are, therefore, unusually favourable. ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY.—The opening meet ing for the session was held on Monday evening at Bur lington-bouse, Sir R. J. Murchison, president, in the chair. Among those present were—the Earl of Sheffield, Generale Monteith and Phillips ; Colonels Gawler, Port lock. Sotheby, and King ; Major Vardon, Mr. R. Ste phenson, M.P., Dr.. Livingston, Hodgkin, Fitton, Blsckie, Kinkle, and Baden Powell; CaptainsCollineon, Paulson, Aldrich, Hamilton, Ryder, Tindal, and Hall, R.N., &c. The diploma of the society as corresponding member was presented to Dr. Livingstone amid general applause. The President announced the publication of Dr. Livingston'e work recounting his travels in Africa, which might be fairly reckoned as the most remarkable feature of the year, affording as it did in the most graphic manner a clear insight into the character of the countries traversed, the manners and customs of the natives, the physical features, commercial resources, natural pro ducts, and varied information of the different parts visited ; and what rendered the work more important to geographers was the fact of all the points being deter mined by accurate a-tronomical observations. The attention of the meeting was then called to the Ist volume of the Proceedings of the Society, the 11th num ber of which bad just been issued. The chairman dwelt upon the advantage the members derived from being furnished by this publication with early information with regard to the subjects brought before the society, and finally read an extract from letters which had been received firm.), Captains Young and M'Clintock, off Greenland, reporting the progress of the Franklin Expedition. The accessions to the library and map room since the last meeting were numerous and im portant. The papers read were :-1. Additional Notes of the North Australian Expedition, under Mr. A C. Gregory, by Mr. Thos. Baines, artist to the expedition ; 2. Late Discoveries in the Country to the North of Mount Serle, by Assistant-Surveyor-General G. W. Gorder, in command of the South Australian Expedition, communicated by the kght Hon. H. Labouchere ; 3. Results of Dr. Vogel and Corporal Maguire's Astrono mical Observations in Central Africa, computed at the Map-rooms of the Royal Geographical Society, by Mr. C. George, R.N. The meeting then adjourned to No vember 23. _ _ CHARTIST AND MIDDLE-CLASS UNION.--The leader of the Chartist body has issued a letter which says : " With regard, then, to coining events we need not ad vert to them more than is requisite for preparation. Great times are coming—and how shall we receive them? The first preparation requisite is manifestly to choose our battle-ground. How are we to fight ? Single-handed or with allies—and in eithercase, with what weapons ? This is the proposition that should be made to the middle classes :—Will you, or will you not, unite with us for uni versal male adelt suffrage and a repeal of the property qualification? If they would not, all is at an end between us and them, and we go on single-handed on a pathway that I know full well. If they will join us on those terms well and good ; the question would be very speedily settled by a decisive victory—a victory not doubtful for a single moment—a victory achieved without a flash of fire or a drop of blood. I know some cavillers will say that lam swerving from the Charter. Do not believe them ; but what I seek to bring about is, if possible, a union of the working and middle classes to counteract the growing military power of thearistocracy and Crown. Under cover of the Indian was an immense army is being established. If we are beaten in India, and lose it, the army will be reduced, but the force forme►ly em ployed in India will be quartered at home. If we con quer in India, the pretence wilt be advanced that a vast force is needed to prevent future outbreaks—and tt at force will be stationed in England, not in Hiadostan. I see the game. In London it shows itself very plainly. A huge new barrack is rising at Kensington—another is to be raised in Kennington ; and from Aldershot to Colchester, from Woolwich to Hounslow, camps and military stations are surrounding the metropolis. This is not a time in which to quarrel with any section of the ommunity that we believe to be honest and friendly.'' LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.)
