TO DUNABURG. CIRCULAR. The Directors, having now completed their negotiations With the Russian Gove r nm en t f or the above Railway, h ave Mu pleasure in laying before the Shareholders the follow ing particulars of their arrangements, together with the prin cipal features of the Imperial Concession of 1853, which was confirmed, with additional advantages, by his Imperial Ma jesty, on the 26th February, 1817: - A fixed Capital of 10,200,000 silver roubles, or about 1 ,636,250/. sterling, over which , the Company has the abso lute control, and of the expenditure of which they are not re quired to give any account to the Russian Government. The fixed Capital has been changed in consequence of the length of the line having been reduced, and several important modifications having been allowed by the Russian Govern- A Concession for a period of 75 years, dating from the open ing of the whole Line, during which the Russian Government hasreserved no right to purchase the Line. A guarantee, by the Russian Government, of 4. per 'cent., • for interest and sinking fund. A sinking fund of one-eighth per cent, is sufficient to redeem the capital in 75 years. This calculation has been verified, together with all others of i mportance, by an eminent accountant. The line has been most carefully surveyed by John Hawk- Esq . ., the engineer-in -chief. It is of very easy construe .l..lou—there being no tunnels, deep cuttings, nor high era '!•tikments--ferr bridges, and those offering no engineering n ffileulties, The whole line is almost upon a level, the maxi ra tu n gradient being lin 200, sloping gradually from Diina berg to Riga •; thus greatly economising the cost of con l'eying the produce from the interior. A. contract for the construction of the lailway and the 41 P h * of the whol e o f th e ro lli ng s t oc k and material, has, wit the a royal of the eneineer-inhief, been entered into With p . l) -c 115 an eminent English contractor, with ample security for , 'lnc Performance. eThe total sum required for the construction of the Railway t lu ding all money s t o b e pa id t o the contractor, the ex i_ me Cost of th e l an d , the i nterest on calls during construe ", and the prelimin try and all other expenses of manage- Meat, dm. whatsoever, have been carefully estimated at the manage " eat, of 1 ,343,000/. , st er li ng , th us s h ow i ng an excess o f fi xe d -a P i tal over expenditure of 293,2501., the benefit of which ezcess will be obtained by the Sharehold e rs by the redemp tion of their shares at par. The amount of the guarantee on the fixed capital of :;636260/. (after deducting the one-eighth per cent, for the 44k ing fund) is 71,586/, per annum, which, upon the above estimate, gives 51 er cent. per annum for interest on the %Pita].

In cense gnce of the reduction in the guaranteed capital, and the e of th e s h ares being limited to 81,600, four shares only 90/, each will be exchanged for each 1007. share. 11 these shares o f 20/ . only 161. 10s. will be required to eup the above estimated expenditure of 1,343,000/ ; kid the guaranteed interest of 17s 6d,per share, exclusive h Of the sinkin g fun d , is equal to 5i . per cent, this amount. The shares will be redeemable at the par of 201. out of the sinking fund by periodical drawings, It is proposed, on the completion of the line, t o issue separate coupons in series, One a vailable for 10 years ea c h . of these coupons will re present the guaranteed interest, and the other the dividends the en the extra profits of the line. The former will expire on redemption of the share at par ; but the latter will con tinue in force daring the period for which it may have been rued, t.

Mr. James Sadleir, after a long silence, has treated the world to his locus in q'to. He is in the gay capital, enjoying, with the Grand Duke Constantine, the gaie ties of that delightful city. Bat beyond that general description, deponent sayeth not. He does not enter into particulars—whether he sojourneth at the Hotel Meurice -or the Banlieu, whither have retired the dis tressed operatives whose scant incames suffice not for a more central lodging. James, however, we may be sure, disports himself in a more sumptuous fashion. He retreated from too tardy justice, with a large slice of the plunder which be and his worthy brother extracted from a too confiding public. James is not " hard-up" —not he. His pockets are well lined. with Napoleons, and the most fashionable cafés —say the Trois Ireres—nightly abstract a portion of the poor shareholders or depositors' savings. We wish the Ben lsvard rover had particularised his residence, but he was too cautious for such candour, because he was well aware of the consequences to his liberty. The sub joined latter from the ignominious and shameless fugi tive appears in last night's Post. It required no ordinary amount of audacity to pen such a characteristic epistle : Naval and Plititary InteJagelice. Yesterday the half-yearly inspection of the corps of Royal Engineers took place at Chatham by Col. W. H. Eden, Commandant of the Garrison, acting for General Sir J. F. Burgoyne, G. C. 8., Inspector- General of Fortifications. The troops having been drawn up in the barrack-square Col.'Eden inspected their clothing'and necessaries, after which he minu tely examined Brompton Barracks, the buts at Prince Henry's bastion, the barrack library, and the various offices. In the afternoon the entire corps marched to Chatham lines, i where they went. at through the man oeuvres o f a e Tof o r s. Th e resu lt Jd-day in the pre sence of a large numb of the inspection wa s very sa tort'. A discharge of troops to the number of 40 non commissioned officers and men took place at Cha tham yesterday. The Winchester, 50, Capt. T. Wilson, late flag ship of Rear-Admir a l Si r M . Seymour, K.C.8., on the China station, was paid off at Chatham yester day, having been in commission upwards of syears, during the whole of which time she was stationed in the East Indies and China until relieved by the Calcutta, 84, Capt. W. K. Fiall, C.B. The Win chester brought home the crew of her Majesty's sloop Bittern, 12, and also 89 sick and wounded invalids; 28 deaths occurred on b )ard during the passage home from Hong Kong, which she left on the 13th Dec. On the crew being paid off yesterday two sil ver medals, with gratuities of 151., awarded by the Admiralty for good conduct and meritorious service, were distributed to James B 4 arn,plio, guwaer's mate„ and John COrris, quartermaster. The Admiralty also awarded gratuities for good conduct to Horatio Wilson, captain's coxswa n ; _,Wm. Blake, chief boatswain's mate ; and Win. Horn, coxswain of the barge. A few days previously to the vessel being paid off Capt. Wilson distributed about 200 medals to those men belonging to the Winchester and Bittern who were engaged in the attack on Ran goon. Letters from her Majesty's steam troopship Tran sit were received at Portsmouth yest-Telay morning one of which /pas immediately handed to our ea ) respondent for publication. The lust he published wa3 said 'by its critics to have been written by a soldier "frightened at sea's alarni3," and was stig matised ill various quarters as an " exaggerated " description of the ship's voyage from Spithead and her condition on putting into Corunna, which "cuckoo cry /' was re-echoed by the First Lord of the Admiralty in the House of Comm)ns this clay week. The following is an extract from the letter of an experienced " blue jacket " of 20 yeLrs' ser vice in various parts of the world : " Her Majesty's ship Transit, Corunna, April 19. "We came to an anchor here this morning from sheer necessity. From the time we left Spithead until this morn- ing our ship has been one scene of misery —rolling awfully, pitching tremendously, the troops' deck afloat all clay and night, tho decks not properly caulked, and expecting every moment to see the masts go over the aide from the loose manner in which the rigging is fitted. They are now setting up rigging, and we shall most likely get to sea to night. We have met with heavy weather." - By the Brazil mail, delivered yesterday, it would appear that the "unfortunate Transit" had crept as far as St. Vincent's by the 2.Bth ult. The sailing three-decker Princess Charlotte, 104, Capt. G. St. Vincent King, C. 8., was taken out of dock at Portsmouth yesterday afternoon and past under the shears to be masted. Her rigging is ready for going over her mast heads. The Melville, 72, hospital ship for China, Com mander Trollope, was tiken into the steam basin on Tuesd y evening to ascertain if the leakage be fore reported was stopped ; but as it p ro V e d un abated she was redocked on Wednesday for further examina4ion. The Volcano steamvessel, fitted as a seagoing smithery, Master-Commander Hockines, having been made ready for proceeding to China, is now reported to be in want of new boilers. The Beaver, 2, steam gunboat, Lieut. Hewett, K.L.H., was taken into dock at Portsmouth yesterday to have defects repaired. The Azamemnon, 91, Commander Noddal (Mas ter, R.N ), commenced tatting in coal in the steam basin at Portsmouth yesterday, preparatory to pro ceeding to the Thames to ship her portion of the Atlantic Telegraph cable.

Phillips, from Barbadoes, April 7, with the head-quarters, 24 officers, and 614 nou-commissioned officers and privates of the 69th Reiment, under g command of Col. Mackirdy, and one company, 113 in all, of the 67th, under comma n d o f Capt. Count Rivarola, arrived at Plymouth on Wednesday morn ing. Thp Urgent arrived at Fayal, April 29, and was detained two days to perform quarantine. Since that time she has experienced strong easterly winds. Captain Scott, R A., and family have come home passengers in her. Coporal J. Fowler, of the 67th, died at sea of consumption, April 26. The Urgent's enginei were bu'lt for the Russian Govern ment about three ye-trs ago, and are in a very de fective state. The bearings became so much heated as to require a continuous and plentiful supply of water. Under full steam, in ordinary weather, her speed averages 8 to 8 knots per hour. The frigate Eurydice, 26, Captain Tarleton, ap pointed to leave Barbadoes on Bth April, the day after the Urgent, was spoken on Wednesday off Ply mouth, 35 days out, proceeding up Channel.

The examination to take place after the candidate has been returned qualified in all other respects for ap pointment. The shafting and other machinery for the screw steam corvette Challenger being built at Woolwich are ordered to be in reainess, as the vessel is in a forward state t owards'completion. The paddlewheel steam vessel Bustler, on service .at Woolwich as tender to the Fisgard, is ordered to be admitted into basin to be 'supplied with a new boiler. Commander Francis A.

COMMISSIONER HOLROYD'S OPINION OF THE ADVISABILITY OF A PROSECUTION. Yesterday morning was fixed, by Mr. Commis sioner Holroyd for delivering judgment on the amination of the directors, which has been so often before the public. His Honour se id—Mr. Linklater, the solicitor for the assignees, "having a few days since intimated to - the Court that he bad, at least for the pre sent, closed the 'examinations in •' the matter of the Royal British Bank, with the exception of some formal depositions and some documen tary eviden.sec • - Considered -- What course it is the duty of the Court, to take with reference to the case as it now stands. According to the Actof Parliament under which this inquiry has been con ducted, the 7th and Bth of Victoria, cap. 111, sec. 25, a report of the cause of the failure of the com pany is to be made by this Court to the Board Trade, and the Court is to be at liberty to state any special circumstances relating to the formati-n or management of the affairs of the company ; but by the terms of the Act this report is to be made to the Board of Trade after the company have passed their last examination. Now, the last examination has been adjourned to the 24th of June ; but, never theless, notwithstanding - the provi-ion in the Act to which I have referred, I think that the Court, in a case calling for its interposition, ought at once, ex mere mate, to direct copies of any examinations taken under the bankruptcy to be transmitted to her Majesty's Attorney-General, so that the Govern ment may be advised by the law offic-es of the Crown as to instituting criminal proceedings. To wait until the passing of the last examin ition of the company might tend to occasion inconvenience, if not to defeat the ends of justice. I think this is not a case for further delay. Ido not believe that a scene of greater recklessness, fraud, and crimina lity of conduct in the management of a banking establishment was ever exhibited in a court of jus tice than is disclosed by the examinations taken in this court under the adjudication of bankruptcy . against ,the Royal British Bank ; and I may ob serve that these examinations will be admissible in evidence against the parties in cage of a prosecution —see "Reg. v. Scott" (1 D and B, Cr. Ca., 47) ; "Reg. v. Haggett" (1 D, Cr. Ca , 656). It will be necessary to a correct understanding of the re marks which I am about to Make to refer shortly to the Act for the regulation of joint-stock bulks in England and to the charter of the company, and to some of the most material provisions in the deed of constitution of the company—viz., the Isc, 2d, 3d, 18th, 33d, 34th, 36th, 44th, 45th, 47th, 60th, 63d, 64th, 65th and 71st. By the sta.ute 7th and Bth of Victoria, cap. 114, after providing for the form and mode of petitioning the Crown for a charter or letters patent by a joint stock banking company for the carrying on the business of bankers in England, it is enacted that the deed of partnership of the company shall be prepared according to a form to _be approved by the Board of Trade ; and shall, in addition to any other provisions to be contained therein, contain certain specific provisions for the following pur poses, that is to say :-1. For holding ordinary general meetings of the company once a year. 2. For holding extraordinary general meetings upon a Certain requisition, &c. 3. For the manage ment of the affairs of the company, and the election and qualification of directors. 4. For the retire ment of at least one-fotirth of the directors yearly, and for preventing the re-election of the .retiring directors for at least 12 calendar months. 5. For preventing the company from purchasing any shares or making advances to any person on the security of asbare. 6. For the publication of the assets and liabilities of the company once at least in every calendar month.' 7. For the yearly audits of. the accounts of the company by two or more auditors chosen at a general meeting of the share holders, and not being directors at the time. 8. For the yearly communication of the auditors' reports, and of a balance-sheet and profit and loss account to every shareholder. 9. For the ap pointment of manager or other officer to perform the duties of manager, and that the provisions of the deed, with such others as to her Majesty shall seem fit, shall be set forth in the le tens patent. It is then provided that it shall not be lawful for any company to commence business until the deed has been duly executed and all the shares subscribed for and at least half the amount of each share has been paid up, and it shall not be law ful for the company to repay any part of the sum so paid up without leave of the Board of Trade. Next follows the provision authorising Her Majesty, by letters patent, to incorporate the company for the purpose of carrying on the banking business. The material articles in the deed of constitu'i al of the company will be found to this effect :—The parties to the deed were to form a public joint-stock bank ing company, and the capital of the company was to consist of 100,0001. in 100 shares of 1001. each, to be increased if need were. The business of the company was to consist in reeeiving deposits of money and keeping customers' accounts, and tran sacting every kind of usual banking business, and in advancing or lending money on real or personal and other kind of securities enumerated in the deed ; and the court of directors might give credit, either with or without security, upon cash accounts to any of the proprietors or to any other person to such amount, at such rate of interest, and upon such terms as such court should think proper, agreeably to the bylaws for the regulation of ad vances ; the cash credits to be in the discretion of the directors, but no director was to vote on any motion for an advance or discount to himself ; and any part of the capital or funds of the company not required for the immediate purposes or business thereof was to be invested by the court of directors in or upon any public or private real or personal se-, curities as the court should think proper; and the company were prohibited from purchasing their own shares or making advances of money to any person on the security of shares (see articles 1,2, 3, and 33.) Article 18 is to the effect :—That all the general affairs, business, and concerns of the company shall be under the management, superin tendence, and control of the court of directors, as thereinafter mentioned ; and that they sha 1 have the entire, sole, and exclusive control, manage ment, and disposal of the property and revenues of the company, and shall regulate and determine the mode and terms of carrying on the business thereof ; and the court shall have p Aver to nominate and ap point under such conditions and on such terms as they shall think proper one of their own number, or any other person, to be general manager, for conducting under their superintendence and control the busi ness and affairs of the company, with such salary as the court shall see fit ; and the general manager, if of their own number, shall cease to be a direc‘ or. Then, by article 36, which provides for the keeping all necessary and proper books of account, the court of directors once at least in every month are to settle and adjust and balance the said books, and make out, 'declare, and publish, in such manner as ! the court shall think proper, a full, true, and ex plicit statement and balance-sheet, exhibiting the assetsand liabilities of the company, and the amount and nature of the capital and property thereof, and. the then fair estimated value thereof, and the amount of the company's negotiable obligations then in circulation, and the profits and losses of the company, and all other matters and things requisite for fully, truly, and explicitly manifesting the actual • state and position of the affairs thereof. Article 44 provides for the general yearly meeting of the pro prietors in the month of September, and by the next article (45) the court of directors, if they think it expedient, may bold a second general meeting, to be called a general half-yearly meeting of proprie tom ; arid if a half-yearly meeting be not called the court is to prepare and furnish to every proprietor at the end of each half-year for which no such meet , ing is called such a printed report of the progress and proceedings of the company and the state of the profits arid funds, assets, and liabilities thereof as the court shall think proper be made known ; and a balance-sheet, and profit and account, and also a report on the account by the auditors are, in the month of September in every year; to be:sent by the post to every proprietor. By article 47 the court of directors at every general meeting of proprietors, shall exhibit a true and accurate TO THE EDITOR OF THE DUBLIN EVENING POST. "Paris, May 8, 1857. " Sir,—l observe in your publication of the 30th ult. a letter from Mr. James Scully, in which he states- 4 I never bought any shares in so rotten and cursed a concern ; those I had were derived through adminis tration to my father, and which I often desired to get rid of, but was always informed that the bank would never purchase any shares from any person ;' he also states—' Mr. James Sadleir was the only director remaining in the bank.' This a mistake ' • Mr. James Scully was a s h are h o ld er i n th e Tipperary Joint Stock Bank long before the death of his father ; he was offered to be appointed director in 1848, after the death of his father, but declined in favour of Mr. V. Scully, who then agreed to act as directo r , b e i ng cons id ere d a gentleman of superior legal knowledge, and would be of great benefit to the institution. I never heard of the bank purchasing its own shares. Mr. James Scully had always sixteen days' notice of each annual general meeting, and a private letter from me to at tend the last meeting of threhank ; he was never more than one hour distant from it ; he had at all times full facility for any information he wished from the directors or officers of the bank—all books and documents open to him ; he bad always an overdrawn account of over 2.000/ , which the directors considered him good security for. I am sorry my two brother directors did not dive me a hint, at all events, when they were leaving; if they did, it would, I have no doubt, have saved creditors and shareholders from very heavy loss. We continued on friendly terms, had no difference of opinion as to the management of the bank ; but I suppose Mr. James Scully considers I should have gone with them, taking all I could with me ; I will leave that to the creditors to judge. When they had left, Mr. John Sad. lair and Mr. Keating agreed to act as directors, having the largest interest then in the bank as shareholders, and Mr. Keating signed all certificates for shares, &c., and was ready and wiling to discharge all the duties of director till Mr. John Sadleir's death—then he was not director at all. I could not see two better persons then connected with the Tipperary Joint Stock Bank to act as directors, from their great experience in connexion with one of the most respectable institutions in London. I also mentioned to Mr. F. Scully as to his becoming a director, as Mr. Kennedy had left the bank, and he agreed to do so from the let February, 1856. " I now take this opportunity of just asking what is Mr. James Scully's case worse than mine ? lam re quired to pay up calls on shares, the greater portion of which were the property of the late Mr. John Sadleir, placed in my name as his trustee temporary, a very short time before his death, a large portion of which no trans. fer was ever executed for, legal or illegal. I never owed the bank or any bank a shilling, but always had a con siderable sum to my credit in the Tipperary Joint Stock Bank, and during the run 5,0001. due to me, which I might have drawn out or even after Mr. John Sadleir's death. I never had. any connection, directly or indi rectly, with any one of the numerous speculations Mr, f oho Sadleir appears to have been mixed up in, or any other •speculations. From that moment I discovered in London, late in 1855, the extent of the land transac tions he was mixed up in, and railways in England, France, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, and Italy, I denounced him in the strongest language I could for having allowed himself, under any circumstances, to be engaged in so many undertakings, though I had the strongest assurance from hi mse lf, and some of hie friends, that 1 irge and immediate payments were to come to him from each undertaking ; and I have got the sums in a return given to me that were to come from each. From all the information I could collect a short time before his death, from himself and some of his friends, I was fully satisfied the wont was over, and that he was fast getting out of the temporary difficulties he had got' into, and tbat he would have a considerable surplus after paying all debts that I bad any knowledge of. "You also state, in your publication of the 30th ult., that' Mr. V. Scnlly was to receive 7.000/. for his shares from Mr. J. Sadleir, payable in 1857; the shares to be transferred to Mr. Keating.' "I beg to state I never had anything to say to Mr. V. Scully, directly or indirectly, as to his shares, nor did I ever owe him 6d., nor did I hear a word of his agree ment with Mr. John Sadleir and Mr. Keating till Mr. Keating showed me the document in London a consider able time after it was executed. I also beg to state I never read any one clause in the new bank deed, got up in 1842—never saw it in the bank or elsewhere, since, I signed it i n 1842. I th en s t a t e d most d i st i nct l y I would not continue to be responsible for the work ing of the bank alone, if extended, but that I would assist to the best of my ability if other competent per sons were appointed to act with me, but that I would not continue to give my whole and entire time to it—as I did the three years previous to 1842.

Then, as to declaring dividends, articles 60 and 63 are to the following eff :—That at the end of the first six months of every year, and also at the end of every second six in inns of every year, ex cept as thereinafter mentioned, the court of direc tors shall determine upon, app det, and declare such dividend for t're period then elapsed, out of the clear profit .of the company then actually accrued and reduced into possession, es they should think fit ; and if 'the court of d rectors shall think proper they aro not to make any dividends of the profi s durin,g the first year of business, and such profits sh dl form part of the "surplus or reserved fund," and in each succeeding year the net prcifits, after making deductii in and allowance forbad and doubt ful debts, shall, aft- r setting apart such proportion of profits as the directors shall think requisite for the surplus fund, be divided among the proprietors ; but no proportion- of profits is to be set apart for the surpins fund, if by reason thereof the dividend will .be reduced below 4 per cent. ; and the sm.- islos fund for the time being is to be added to the capital, and nsver to be considered part of the profits. By article 64 at every annual general meeting the proprietors are to appoint two or thee persons, not being directors, to be auditors for the year ensuing, for the . purpose of examining and auditing the accounts of the directors ; and the auditors are to sign such accounts, if found to be correct ; but if any errors or misstatements shall appear upon the examination of such accounts the auditors are authorised to call a special meeting of the proprietors, and to report to the same meet ing the result of the examina ion, or to lay the same before the next general meeting ; and the auditors are empowered to require the production of the books, vouchers, writings, and documents relating to the said accounts, and to require the assistance of the general and other managers, accountants, dens, and officers of the company, or such of them as they shall think proper in the investiga tion of such accounts. The 65th article pro vides for petitioning the Crown for leave t ) increase the capital of the company by supple mental charter, and that the holders of new shares aro to be bouud by the terms of the deed, and subject to the same liabilities as the original shareholders, and that one-half of the amount of such shares is to be paid up before issuing the certi ficate thereof, and that it shall not be lawful for the company to repay the sum so paid up, or any part thereof, without the consent of the Board of Trade. And by articre 71, if at any time the court of directors shall find that the losses of the com pany have exhausted all the " surplus or reserved fund," and also one-fourth of the capital actually paid up, they-shell as soon as possible call a special meeting of the proprietors, and submit to such meeting a full sta'ement of the affairs of the com pany; and if it shall appear at such meeting and be declared by a resolution of the majority of the pro prietors present that the losses of the company have exhausted the said fund, and also one-four h of the paid-up capital, the chairman shall declare the company dissolve", and the same shall he dis solved accordingly, except for the purpose of finally closing and winding-up the affairs of the company. Then, by the charter or letters patent incorporating the company, it is declared that the several regula tions contained in the deed of constitution, or in any by law or supplemental deed to be made in pursuance thsreiif, shall be the existing regulations of the corporation, and it is thereby declared that, the corporation shall not commence business until it shall have been certified to the President of the Board of Trade, by at least three of the directors of the corporation, that all the shares have been subscribed for and that the deed of constitution has been executed personally or by power of attor ney by the holders of all of the shares in the busi ness, and that a sum of not less than one-half of the amount of each share has been paid up in respect Of each share as directed by the act of 50,0001. at the least, being half of the capital of the said cor poration, is to be paid up w ithi n 12 ca l en d ar months from the date of the charter. Now, no thing can be more clear and explicit than the pro visions in the charter as to the duties, of the di rectors and other officers of the company, and I may hers remark that where a duty is thrown on a body consisting of several persons each is in dividually liable for a breach of duty, as well for acts of commission as of omission—that is, each individual of the body who does not do what in him lies to discharge his public duty contracts by his negligence individu a l gu ilt ( see " R ex v. Hol land," 5, T. R., page 607), and where parties are required by law to certify as to a 'Articular fact it is nol necessary to show that they knew at the time that the contents of the certificate were false. In order to support an indictment for conspiracy to obstruct the course of justice by producing a false certificate, it was held sufficient that the person certifying the facts as true agreed to do so without knowing that it was true (see " Rex v. Maubly," 6, T. R., 619). It is not necessary on the present occasion to go in detail into the facts brought to light during this most poinful inquiry, or to single out any particular' persons as deliuquerits ; that will be for elsewhere and hereafter ; but having regard to the course pursued in the management of the affairs of the Royal British Bank, in defiance of the act of Parliament to regulate joint-stock banks, and of the provisions in the charter, I think that the directors and general managers of the bank are open to some one or more of the following 'charges :-Ist, commencing business before all the shares were subscrib d for, and at least half the amount paid up, and repaying part of the'sum paid up without leave of the Board of Trade, contrary to the form of the st +tate (7th and Bth Vic., cap.. 113, sec. 5), and the terms of the charter, page 53. 2d, making, declaring, and publishing false state ments and balance sheets of the assets and liabilities of the bank, and of the amounts and nature of tiie ' capital and property and value thereof, and of the profits and losses of the company, thereby conceal ing the actual state aid position of the affairs of the corporation, and giving a semblance of solvency where the reality had ceased to exot, and send ing false reports and balance-sheets and -profits and loss accounts to the proprietors in violation of the articles 30 and 45 of the deed of constitution in the charter, as required by the statute 7th and Bth Victoria, cap. 113, sec. 4. 3d, declaring divi dends when no profits bad been made, but on the contrary, when the affairs of the corporation were greatly embarrassed and large losses had been in curred, and. when, according to the terms of the charter, not a single farthing ought to have been allowed for dividend (acre articles 60 and 63 • and see P. Lord Campb e ll, i n " B arnes v. Pennell," 2 House of Lords Oases, pp. 509 and 524 5). 4tb, conspiring to raise the price of the shares of the company by illegal means and with a criminal view. To give a fictitious price to the shares of a company (which are a vendible commodity in the menet) by means of fal e reports and publications, or by declaring dividends when there are no profits or by the company buying their own shares is a fraud levelled against the public (see " Rex v. De Beranger," 3 M. and S. 67 ; and see P. Lord Campbell in " Barnes v. Pennell," 2 House of Lords Cases, 524-5 ; and see proviso to article 3 in the charter). sth, conspiring when in a state of insolvency, and when the losses of the company had exhausted the "surplus or reserve fund" and one-fourth part of the paid-up capital—l say, when in such a state, conspiring to obtain a supplemental charter from the Crown by false representations and by false reports and balance-sheets, and making dividends when not justified in so doing, and there upon issuing new shares or obtaining deposits for new shares at a premium, with intent to cheat the public and in contempt of the prerogative of the Crown. 6th, making such repeated gross misap plication of the funds of the bank by large loans to some of the directors and other persons on terms of the utmost risk, in total disregard of the discre tion vested in the directors by the charter, with `consequent serious loss to the corporation ; em barking in a hazardous speculation by laying out large sums of the bank money upon an undertaking quite foreign to the business of banking—l refer particularly to the Welsh mines—and thereby also incurringheavy losses; not exercising proper superintendence and control over the general manager in conducting the business and affairs of the company ; and though the directors found that the losses of the company had exhausted all the "surplus or reserved fund," and also ore , - fourth of the capital actually paid up, failing to call a special general meeting of the proprietors, and to submi to the meeting a statement of the affairs of the company, as directed by the 71st article of the deed of constitution, all which several instances of misconduct under the sixth head were in direct violatimi of the' terms of the charter. (See articles 3, 33 , 34, and 71.) I may here add that the peti tion to the Crown for the original charter con tained false representations as to the payment of the deposit on shares. With respect to the andi ters of the company, it appears that they neglected the duty which they owed to the proprietors of Properly examining and auditing the accounts of the'court of directors, for without examination of 1: , ,' w SPARER 11i615eOlre, . vonclicits, and doceittbritX4 . ~,e, such accounts they signed them 04 carted ee;:e-e ~ i . , in tact, the accounes were fallaci . t:'ankteeenp ' ee - ere, the real financial state of the I. .;_at::•tlie*Oe, .1, `The auditors were in a situation Arta-WAII" • (5 , ~.g? 44 , . : - --; . i .f. -,/ - 1 hood of that which they signed a Vo \ siecetil7 1 . .... fif i a ; .. ) elected to avail themselves of the - - et W 7 I le lge within their power. Now comeNhe I Iles- s tion of the criminal responsibility of the diriicTore and other officers of the corporation. Upon this point no doubt cm be entertained. It must be re inembe,rect that the Royal British Bank was a pUblic company, incorporated by charter or letters parent from the Crown under the provisions of the statute to regulate joint-stock banks in England, for the purpose of carrying on the business of banking—a business well known to the law, form in fee', a part, of the "Law Merchant," of which , our c tarts t eke notice, and in the right conduct of .., which business, at least by an incorporated public company, with transferable shares, which, subject to the provisions In the deed,, might . be freely bought and sold in the market, I think it may be said the public have an interest. The management of the business of such a c , mpan.y is, in truth, a matter of gener 4 and public concern. Again, certain duties are imposed on the company, its directors and other officers, by the Act of Parliament, and the charter granted under the act ' • and the provision s o f th e deed of conaitetion of the company which are spe cified in the .act,. together with such others as to her • Majesty shell seem fit, are required by the act to be set forth in the letters patent. Well, then it is laid down that a corporation may be indicted for a nonfeasance in not carrying out the provisions either of their constituting sta.•:ute or of their charter, or for a misfeasance consisting of an offence at common law, not being treasonable, feloni ous , or attended with violence, or for an offence against a statute, or against a prescriptive or chartered duty; and where the corporation may be indicted the in dividuals who commit the offence may be indicted likewise (see Grant on Corporations, p. 281 • and see " Reg. v. Scott," 3 Q. 8., 547 ; " Reg. v. Great North of England Railway Company," 9 Q. 8., 315 ; " Mayor of Lyme Regis v. Henley," 2 Cl. and Fin , 331 • and " Rex. v. Brizac and another," 4 East, 164). If a statute forbids the doing a thing, the doing it wilfully, although with out any corrupt motive, is indictable (see " Rex. v. Sainsbury," 4 T. R., 457) ; and if a statute enjoin au act to be done, without pointing out any mode of punishment in case of default, an indictment will lie for disobeying the injunction of the Legislature (" Rex. v. Davis," Say., 133). And, lastly, it is clear that an officer may subject himself to a cri minal proseeution for breach-of a public duty (see " Bryce v. Belcher," 4C. 8., 866). I and aware that where a public act regul ates rights which are merely private an indictment will not lie for the infringe ment of those rights. But I consider that an incor porated public banking company is a corporation of a public charact ,, r, and that the directors of the company are public officers, holding their office under the Queen's letters patent, or derivatively from such authority ; and any infringement of the act of Parliament, or charter founded on the ace, and under which such a cmpany is established, affects the public generally, inasmuch as any of the public may buy shares in the company. The direc tors of such a company ought to be, and I think it - will 'he toned that they are, amenable to the law for their conduct as directors, and obnoxious to punishment fur not discharging their duty. It may perhaps he contended that, although the act to re gulate joint-stock banks directs that the deed of the company is to be prepared according to a form to be approved by the Boat d of Trade, and, in addition to any other provisions which may be contained therein, shall contain specific provisions for the purposes specified in the act, still there are no vin dicatory enactments' with reference to those provi sten4, and the only prohibi ory enactment in the statute is that contained in the sth section, which provides that it shall not be lawful for the company to commence business until the deed has been duly 'executed and all the shares subscribed for, and at least half the amount paid up, &c. I think this may eaeily be accounted for. It might be question able whether a violation of a provision as to the time of commencing business, though contrary to the terms of the charter would per se be illegal or punishable, unless made so by act of Parliament. There is no doubt it was a prudent condition requir ing half the amount of the capital to be paid up be fore commencing business ; still it would be difficult to say that the breach of such a condition, without showing a corrupt motive, would be indictable, in dependently of legislative enactment. But with re spect to the provisions which the statute requires to be set forth in the letters patent it seems by impli cation to enjoin a compliance with those provision., and whether that be so or not I think an infringe- • ment by the directors or any other public officers of the corporation, wnere such infringement did or might operate to the prejudice of such persons as pur chased or might wish to purchase shares in the com pany, would be to the nuisance of the community at large, and therefore indictable at common law. In conclusion, let me observe that while public confidence in the directors and offi cers of public joint-stuck banks is essential to the stability of such establishments, on the other hand one cannot contemplate the mischief, misery, and ruin which is produced by the sudden stoppage of a bank, without being sensible that it isequally essential that the dirqct)rs and other public officers should ever remember that public confidence can only be insured by prudent management on their part, and that they should feel that criminal re sponsibiliiy and severe punishment will attach to any gross violation of the provisions of the charter of their bank, and that the law is strong enough to reach such offences. It has been remarked that if perseverance in wrong often appertains to indivi duals it much more frequently appertains to public bodies, in which the diegrace of error or , even cri- . . minality of conduct belongs to so many that no one is ashamed of the part which belongs to himself. I think that the members of the governing body of the Royal British Bank must have repoorl. too much on a delusive belief that responsibility beg. comes infinitesimal by division. For the rea.sone which I have given I feel it to be a duty incumbent on the court to direct that the proceedings under the bankruptcy he forthwith brought to the special notice of her Majesty's Government in the way which I have already pointed out. Mr. Linklater—Sir, on the part of the assignees I am desired to express their deep sense of the obligations they feel for the very prompt manner in which your Honour has been pleased to prepare your report, and it is to be hoped that its effect will insure punishment for those who have entailed so mum misery to thousands. Mr. Freshfiel&—S r, on the part of one of the gentlemen whose examination will be forwarded to the Board of Trade (Mr. Stapleton) I may perhaps be allowed to say two words. I have only had Ave minutes' notice to attend hereto hear your Honour deliver judgment, or I should have communicated with Mr. Stapleton, who wished to make some ob servations.- 1 have merely to observe that his ex atnination has been confined to questions that have been asked him. He desired to give as full and true answers as possible, but the answers to the questions do not convey a correct repre sentation of his conduct as a director in this bank ; and that conduct would only have been elicited by others being examined who were in the bank long antecedent to his connexion with it, officers of the bank, who were in it from its com mencement, who had the power of making commu nication to him ; and without their examination, as the matter now stands, it does not convey a cor rect representation of his conduct. He would have wished personally to explain that and much more, but he is not here to-day, and therefore has not the opportunity. The Commissioner—l have already said Ido not think it my duty to select any one in particular. Mr. Freshfield—l am aware of that, Sir ; but he would have wished to have been present to add that to his examination. Mr. Linklater—The less Mr. Stapleton provokes discussion in reference to his conduct the better. Mr. Freshfie!d—Mr. Stapleton is afraid of no discussion ; and if more had been elicited the more clear would his conduct iu the matter have ap peared. Mr. Linklater—He will have an opportunity of Saying that hereafter.... • MEETING IN FAVOUR OF .THE BALLOT AT CARDIJT . —On Mo n d ay evening a numerously attended meeting was held at Cardiff. for the purpose of forming a bronco ballot society. Mr. E. O. Whitehurst, vice-chairman of the London association, was present, and proposed a resolution, which wag seconded by Mr. Freeman, one of the l a t e can did a t es f or t h e b oroug h , to t h e e ff ec t that no extension of the suffrage would be satisfactory with. out the ballot. Measures were taken at the meeting for establishing a local association. A LADY'S MOUTH.—The mouth is, of all the features of the face, the one which exacts the most strict and minute attention ; full and richly-coloured lips, white and regular teeth,, healtby gums, and pure breath, are indispensable characteristics of its beauty. Upon the p , riect conformation and condition of the different parts beloneing to the mouth, drpeod a just and harmonious deiivery of words, the pleasing eloquence of the smile, and the many nameless attractions which dwell in the vicinity of this feature. It is impossible, therefore, to be too particular in the hygenic care bestowed upon this portion of the face. It is the feature most frequently called into active movement, and, therefore, even where biauty of form exists, careful training is needed to enable it to .perform pleasingly its manifold duties. An elegant manner of utterance renders words, insignificant in them selves, agreeable and persuasive. In the act of eating, skilful, neat management of the mouth is very important to personal appearance. The laugh is also a severe test to OW feature. L2ths. 12th. l2the. L2ths. 12the.
