NEWCASTLE, SATURDAY. A special meeting of the shareholders of this com pany was held to-day at the bank, " for the purpose of assenting to the said company registering itself as a company other than a limited company, under the Joint-Stock Banking Companies' Act, 1857." Mr. W. B. OGDEN, the acting director, was called to the chair, and explained that the effect of register ing themselves under the act in question would be, that the separate property of individual shareholders could not be affected by legal proceeding.. There were some actions already pending, and the parties suing would be in a condition to issue executions against the separate property of any one share holder, whichever they might deem best to select. But if they placed themselves under the provisions of this act, the shareholders individually would be protected, and the funds of the bank alone could be proceeded against. Mr. JONATHAN PRIESTMAN having moved, and Mr. J. GREY, of Di!ston, seconded a resolution for registering the company as suggested by the chair man. Mr. BAINBRIDGE, as the representative of a large shareholder, asked whether it was the intention of the directors, after taking the benefit of this act, to take advantage also of the winding-up clauses of the act of 1856, and appoint liquidators ? That would dispense with the necessity for a compulsory winding-up, such as was provided for in previous acts, and he was firmly convinced that if they did not take that voluntary step for the satisfaction of the creditors, even of the debtors and of all parties, they would at last come into the Court of Bank ruptcy, or the Court of Chancery, under the com pulsory clauses, for he did not think the creditors of the bank would submit to be unrepresented in the process of winding-up. Ho believed such a mea sure as he suggested to be absolutely required for the ultimate safety of the whole concern, while it would give great satisfaction to the whole mercan tile community if they took steps to make their affairs properly known. He recommended that another meeting should be held, with a view of adopting his suggestion. The motion of Mr. Priestman having been put and carried unanimously, The CHAIRMAN stated, in reply to a question, that the amount for which actions had as yet been raised by creditors was comparatively small, not exceeding 8,000/. Mr. FAIRS said it would be the most satisfactory mode of investigation to have an inspection of the affairs of the bank, under the authority of the Board of Trade, according to other provisions of the Bank ing Companies' Act, and the directors might now undertake to call a meeting to consider that pro posal. It was clear that there must be a full and proper examination without delay. The committee of shareholders, appointed the other thy to aet along with the directors, could not bs expected to devote sufficient time to it, and it would be more satisfactorily done under the authority of the Board of Ti ado. Mr. GREY supported the resort to one or other of th 3 two plans now suggested, it being the obvious interest of all parties in this miserable affair, that the business should be wound up at the earliest possible period, and at the least expense. After some conversation, The CHAIRMAN, in reply to questions addressed to him gave a ready pledge on the part of the directors, that they would agree to any mode of inspection which the shareholders might call for, and that they would take the initiative by calling a meeting of the shareholders, to consider the pro posals now made by Mr. Bainbridge and Mr. Fairs, as soon as ever it should appear desirable. This pledge appeared to give general satisfaction, and the meeting then separated. THE BUCKINGHAMSHIRE ELECTION. AYLESBURY, DEC. 28. OFFICIAL DECLARATION OF THE POLL This morning, at eleven o'clock, the official de claration of the numbers polled for the respective candidates at the recent election took place at the Town-hall. Mr. Cavendish, the successful candidate, was ac companied by a good many of his principal sup porters, among whom were Messrs. Darvill, Cooper, the Rev. Mr. Phillimore, Mr. A. Tindal, the Rev. Mr. Erle, Mr. S. M. Gibbs, Mr. Z. Phillips, the Rev. Mr. Gates, Messrs. Watson, Benson, White, Payne, arc. CaptAin Hamilton, the defeated can didate, was also accompanied by a number of gen tlemen connected with the Conservative party, among whom were Mears. Lowndes, Franklin, J. and T. Parrott, Baynes, Fowler, Bennett, 'Sze., and the hall was nearly filled with electors and others. PHILIP WROUGHTON, Esq., High Sheriff of the county, then stood forward and declared the num bers polled for the candidates to be as follows Cavendish Hamilton _ _ _ Majority for Mr. Cavendish... -163 and he, therefore, declared that gentleman to have been duly elected as a knight of the shire to repre sent the county of Bucks in the present Parlia ment. (Great cheering.) Mr. CAVENDISH then stood forward to address the electors, and was received with vociferous cheering. He said that before alluding to his own personal feelings, Le must congratulate his friends and the supporters of Liberal principles in the county of Bucks upon the great triumph they had achieved. (Cheers.) He was not so conceited as to suppose that it was his own political merits that had carried him through successfully in this con test ; but he felt that he owed his success entirely to the exertions of the Liberal party in the county, and to their determination to support Liberal principles. (Hear, hear.) He returned them, however, his most sincere thanks for the time and trouble they had expended in his cause. He had been induced to come forward originally upon the understanding that if he did so there would have been no contest ; and he regretted that they should have been taken from their homes, embroiled in a contested election at this season of the year. He would not now detain them any longer, and should only again express his sincere thanks fur the honour they had conferred upon him, and he trusted he should never do anything that would induce them to regret the confidence they had reposed in him. (Cheers.) Captain HAMILTON then addressed the electors, and, after some preliminary observations, ho said ho felt it a duty he owed to those gentlemen who had given him their support on the present occa sion, and also to the Conservative party in the county, to state the reasons that had induced him to come forward as a candidate, and to say what appeared to him were the reasons for the defeat they had experienced. At the time the notice ap peared of tee vacancy in the representation of the county by the elevation of their late honow able member to the peerllgo, he had not the least inten tion to offer himself as a candidate ; and when he received a requisition most numerously signed by tenant farmers of the county, calling upon him to do so, he still refused, because he considered that there were many other gentlemen who, by their wealth and position, were much better qualified to represent this largo Conservative county in Patin:- merit than himself. When, however, he found out that no other gentleman would come forward, and he had received a large number of letters from gentlemen of great influence in the county, ten dering him their support, he felt it incumbent upon him to offer himself at the eleventh hour ; but, under the circumstances, any ether reault than the one that Lad taken place, could hardly have been anticipated. (Hear, hear.) He had called It a defeat of the Conservative party, but he thought he ought to have hardly used th it expression, as it ap peared to him they had not, in point of fact, been defeated, but bad merely sustained a check. (Hear, hoar.) His honourable opponent issued his address cn the 12th of December, and although the names of four gentlemen were put forward as being candidates in the Coeserva ive interest, his own being the last, they all declined the honour except himself, and his address to the electors was not issued until the 18th, and he had only two daps to canvass the county, and they had been defeated because they were out:tepped at the commencement. (Cries of " Hear, hear,' and "No, no.") He had only been able to attend at Newport Pagnell on the Wednesday, and at the High Wycombe market on the Thursday, and that was the whole of the canvass ho had been able to make. If he had had an opportunity to hive canvassed the whole of the county, he believed there was no doubt that he would have b.-en returned. (Cheers, and cries of " No, no.") The hon. candidate then said, that although when lie was in Parliament he had supported the prof o4i tion for the admission of the Jaws into the House of Commons, he feared that, on the pre sent occasion, the Jewish influence in the counly had been used against him, and that the screw had been put on in influential quarters to prevent hie election. (A cry of " We are fighting you with your own weapons.") He had certainly not asked the Rothschild family for their support, but he believed that all their influence had been thrown into the scale for his opponent. (Hear, hear, and interruption.) In conclusion, he said that in the event of a vacancy in the representation of the county taking place on any future occasion,. he pledged himself again to come forward as the re presentative of the Conservative feeling of the county. (. cry of "And you will be just as warmly received as you have been now;" and laughter.) He hoped that the Conservatives of the county of Bucks would feel that he had, only been actuated by a feeling of public duty in offer ing himself to represent the county on this occa sion, and that they would also feel that, although he had Leen unsuccessful, still that this result was owing to the peculiar circumstances under which the election had taken place, and that it ought not to be looked upon as any proof of a diminu tion in the Conservative feeling of the county. (Cheers.) A vote of thanks to the High Sheriff was then proposed by Captain HAMILTON, and seconded by Mr. CAVENDISH, and carried unanimously ; and The Man SHERIFF having briefly returned thanks, the proceedings of the election terminted. THE INDIAN MUTINIES. MARCH OF THE AVENGERS. "It was a glorious sight," says an officer, "to witness the troops under Grant marching proudly along, one solid mass of stalwart fellows, of robust and vigorous frames, but active and energetic-- under thorough discipline, and every man having an air of firm determination. The natives gaze at the Highlanders with astonishment and dread, and style them (with reference to their garle) 'the ghosts of the murdered Englishwomen risen to avenge The Delhi column looked as if they had had hard fighting-and great exposure, but the men were in capital spirits. The Bth and 75th were in mouse coloured dresses, which looked odd at first, but un queitionably was a capital colour to fight in, as it is so difficult to perceive it at a distance. The Sikhs were dressed in the same way. Two of our guns were drawn by elephants, which somewhat asto ni:thed the Royals, and would rather create a sen sation at Woolwich."—Lctter from Bombay. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Dec. 28. MANSION-HOUSE.. —John Green was charged with drunkenness. A policeman—On Saturday evening, at half-past 7 o'clock, in King William-street, defendant was driving two horses in a van, and there was a cry to stop him, and I did so, and he struck me violently. He was the worse for liquor, and when we pulled him from the van, which we were obliged to do, he struck me again, and tried to escape between the horses. The street-keeper said—l saw defendant driving violently, and I called on the policeman to stop him,, and he was stopped, and acted with great roughness. He was in such a condition as to be al together unfit to drive, and the safety of the public was much endangered by him. The driver of an omnibus proved that defendant had knocked down both his horses with the van, and the damage done amounted to 2 /. 10 s. The defendant had galloping and no mistake. The defendant paid he had been drinking in the course of the day, but not to intoxication, and that the galloping was entirely upon the part cf the omnibus servants. A boy, who had been with the defendant in the van, said that the driver of the omnibus was to blame, as he tried to rush along before the van and got entangled in the wheels; which occasioned the accident. The van had been going at the rate of no more than six miles an hour. The Lord Mayor fined defendant 10s. for the as sault upon the policeman, and said that as to the damage it must be decided in the county court. GUILDHALL.—Thos. Emerson, a builder, at 48, Milton-street, was charged with stealing gas, thesproperty of the Great Central Gas Consumers' Company, The prisoner had been supplied with gas till Feb. last, when the supply was cut off and t',e meter taken down, in consequence of non-payment. On the premises being examined it was found that the cap which stopped the supply had been rc moved, and a fresh conexion pipe attached. There were two burners in the drawing-room, one in the kitchen, one in the bedroom, one in the yard, one in the stable, and two in the workshop, all of which were fully supplied with the company's gas. The prisoner, who pleaded guilty, was committed to prison for one month with hard labour. WORSHIP-STREET.—James Alfred Harman, a trimming manufacturer in Anchor-street, Beth nal-crreen' who stood charged with having feloni ously set fire to his house, and caused the death of three of his lodgers, named John, Ann, and Julia Metcalfe, was brought up for final examination. Mr. Lewis, jun., attended as before on the part of the prosecution ; and Mr. Sleigh conducted the defence. The case attracted an extraordinary amount of interest, and the following additional evidence was proceeded with : Sarah Harvey, a widow, residing at 33, Anchor street, immediately opposite the prisoner's house, said—Between 2 and 3 o'clock in the morning of the 19th inst., I was suddenly awakened by my grand-daughter, who raised an alarm of " Fire," and on goiug to the window I saw the prisoner's house in flames. At the second floor window I obseved the deceased Mrs. Metcalfe dreadfully ex cited, who, addressing the prisoner standing in the street without his coat, exclaimed, "Ob, you wretch —you villian—you have bean the cause of this : you have done it all, and you know it well." Pri soner at once replied, "Get out at the top," which remark ho repeated several times, and deceased an swered that she was unable to do so. Sarah Griffith, granddaughter of last witness, was also examined, and fully corroborated the evidence of her relative. Inspector TiTeakford, of the H division—Kt the time the fire was raging I saw the prisoner in the street, and from a communication previously made to me by the constable Andrews, I akked him if he had not been robbed. He replied •' No, I've not." I said, "Did you not report to a police-constable that you had ?" which he also denied. I then asked him if he had seen a policeman in the court, which he admitted having done, but that no par ticular conversation had taken place between them. Ann Finlayson, housemaid to Mrs. Brown (the prisoner's mother-in-law), residing next door, was then examined, and repeated the evidence given before the coroner, to the effect that at half-past ten o'clock on the night in question she went to his 'house, at which time ,there was not any fire in the kitchen grate, and in cross-examination s'.ia stated that the premises were small—a wooden partition lining the shop, which was furnished with numerous card boxes for fringe manufacture, and supplied with two gas burners. George Cole, foreman attached to the London Brigade, said that on reaching the spot and ascer taining the alarming nature of the fire, ho made his way to the second floor window, on entering which he found the bodies of three persons in a lifeless state from suffocation. He was afterwards engaged in minutely examining the lower part of the premises and discovered that the outbreak had been at the rear of the shop. Mr. Henry Atkins, clerk of the London and Liverpool Insurance Company, 21, Poultry, proved that in the month of March last, prisoner effected a policy of insurance at that office on his personal goods, to the amount of 3001. Cross-examined by Mr. Sleigh—Am rot aware that insurance was transferred froin another office. Believe there was a previous insurance which was cancelled by this one. We do not instruct this prosecution. It having been intimated that there was no fur ther evidence on the part of the prosecution, Mr. Hammill said, although he considered that the entire conduct of the prisoner, who had beau dearly proved to be intoxicated, was replete with suspicion, there was not sufficient evithiice to sub mit to a jury, and he should therefore order hAn to be discharod. WESTMINSTER.—George Allan, a mechanic, was brought up on a warrant, charged with neglect ing to pay a cab fare. Henry Flock, a cabdrvcr, said that on the Ist of Nov. last he agre:d btakethe defendant and tip e 3 oth. r men from Francis-street, Totteuham-court road, to New-street, Brompton, for Gd. each. On craving there they all refused to pay, and abused him. Defendant, the only one of the four whose trim° and address the cabman could alcertain, was summoned early in November at this court, and failing to appear, a warrant was issued against him. He was out of the way until Saturday night, when a policeman succeeded in apprehending him. Defendant caid he was out of work at the time he had the ride. Mr. Paynter said that, under those circumstances he should have walked, and adjudged him to pay the fare, 25., and 11s. costs, or in, default be com mitted for 21 days to hard labour. SOUTHWARK.—Richard Jallrich, a man of dissipated appearance, was charged with cruelly beating one of his children, a little girl six years of age. The child, whose eyes were blackened and files very much bruised, said that on Satu - day evening her father came home intoxicated, and commenced beating her first with his fists and then with a cane in a very violent manner. She had not done any thing to deserve correction, and she begged of him to save her life. Her mother called in a police constable, when he left off beating her. A neighbour said he heardcries ofmurder beforethe coustable.entered the house, when he wen k in and saw the prisoner ill-using his little girl. He hld her by the neck till her face was quite black, and v. itn:ss was compelled to strike the prisoner several blows on the head to make him relinquish his hold, or ho really believed the child would have been murderer'. Mr. Burchain told him that it was one of the most cruel cases he had over before him, and his being drunk was an aggravation to the ofienc•z... He should sentence him to six months' hard labour in the House of Correction. He also ordered the pri soner's wife, a decent-looking female, to receive a sove.reign from the poor-box, as she was mainly depending on him for support. A D .,. 3 C/DENT TO COMMANDER LAKE.—Commander Lake, '•,..mspecting commander of the coast-guard, itams gate dibtriet, while on his rounds during a dark night last week, met with a very severe accident. He.was approacLing one of the coast-guard stations near. Deal, whtu his hors; being f r i ghtened by some one running out, threw him to the ground and broke his thigh. REINFORCEMENTS WANTED. Once master of Lucknow, Sir Colin Campbell will, it is said, pause for reinforcements ; am] as 3,500 men were reviewed at Calcutta on the 23rd, those reinforcements cannot be long wanting. Cavalry alone will be the arm in which our weak ness will be shown. The Ist Dragoons, unable to obtain horses at Calcutta, were sent away on that account to Madras ; and it is painful to think that after mouths of warning of English cavalry arrivals, no arrangements should have been made for re mounts. A NEW KING OF DUDE. The capture of Lucknow will not, it is needless to say, produce the submission of Oude. The rebels have placed a boy on the throne, and keep him in state at Fyzabad--a city of 100,000 inhabi tants, defended by a large fort w►th a wall, a ditch, and round towers, lately repaired, and new en trenchments. Here the last great stand may be expected, and the royalty of Oudo must finally perish. BRAID FOR THE SEPOY MUTINEERS. It will be seep by our Legislative Council report of Saturday that a Bill was introduced into the Council by Mr. Peacock, and read a first and a second time, for the purpose of enabling Govern ment to order Sepoys to be marked with the letter "M" for mutiny, and the letter " D " for desertion, in the same manner as European soldiers are now liable to be marked with the letter "D" for desertion.—Bengal Hurkaru. NAN♦ SAHIB. It seems that the mutineers resented the tend ency of the chief of Jalouu to favour our authority by flogging him severely, then hanging him by the heels, and bringing him afterwards a prisoner to Jaloun, where Jaiee Baiee, a grandson, I believe, of the Maharajah Scindia, has been set up as a pup pet prince in conjunction with Nana Sahib. It is stated that the respective shares of each of these new potentates in the revenues of Jaloun are four annas for the Jaiee Baiee, twelve annas for Nana Sahib, giving the latter the lion's share. This wily chief is at no great distance from Jaloun, acting in concert with the Ranee of Jhansi. MI7RDEII, OF LIEUTENANT NEVILLB. Lieutenant Neville, proceeding to Bombay to meet his intended bride, recently arrived here in the!Windsor Castle was killed at Pali Puttun, where his boat lay at anchor for the night. The follow ing account of his death has been published : It appears that Lieutenant Neville started from Ferozepore in a country boat, and as his boat was dropping down the stream by a place called Jum lera, on the Sutlej, a party of the rebels, numbering 40, hailed the boatmen from the bank to put to. The request being backed by threats that they would be fired upon in the event of non-compliance, was at once obeyed, when the boat was attacked. A conflict ensued between the ill-fated occupant and the rebels. Lieut. Neville is said to have made a stout resistance, cutting down two of his assailants, but being himself wounded, ho was seized and car ried ato the rebel camp. He offered to pay the sum of 2,000 rupees as a ransom for hi• life, and the party who made him a prisoner agreed to the arrangement. But no sooner was he taken before the chief of the insurgents than a command was issued to put him to death, which was done in the most diabolical manner. The Commissioner, Major Hamilton, visited the scene of murder soon after, and I bear picked up a few relics belonging to the unfortunate man. THE CIIRRE OF OAST; &C. Of the 100,000,00 0 whom we govern in India, there certainly are not 10 who could comprehend the possibility of a man concerning himself for the good of the country at large, or extending his re gards beyond the circle of his kindred or friends. And yet, after all, the ingratitude and the cruelties which horrify humanity, and put the cann ib a l t o shame, are 'plants of Oriental growth, and which have always flourished in the Eist. The native treat each other just as they have treated the Eng lish who have recently fallen into their hands. They have no idea of captivity, unless asso c iat e d with torture or extermination. To burn or punch out .the eyes, or burn the bowels out, are matters Of every day occurrence, from the earliest periods of their history down to the present time. The interposition of the British Govern ment is being perpetually called upon to shield the native subject from the inflictions of his sovereign or chief. We have had within the past five years before us the memorials from Baroda, from Kattiawar, from Ajmere, Kotab, and other places in Rajpootana,. all to the same effect ; and if monstrous tyranny fell short of bodily tot ture or capital infliction it was to the British Government that even this much of mercy was to be ascribed. The eyes of Europe have now for the fi rst time been opened to the condition of India and the that untilcharacter of niovtl have been ofs people ; aecl suc h thi ngs as t h ose constant occurrence must never again be suffered to appear. A stern iron despotism, never stooping from its dignity or flinching from its duty, must take the place of that goodnatured and well-intenti one d com bi vat i on o f checks, and temporisinga coercions, uponmasterpi ece s as the of an hitherto t co mpromises, looked Eastern administration. Brooking no resistance cn the part of those we rule, it will be the first duty of the rulers to provoke none ; and oxasting propriety in others, to show an example of unbend ing rectitude in ourselves. The time will come, but not now, wht n public employment and emolu dmoeeisitasrrmivaeytib3ee firresotpteeristec to the native ; when it . l of his deserving the coun tenance of the civilised is the renunciation of the badges of barbarism. There can hereafter be no communion betwixt light and darkness, and he who claims the privilege of being guided by "native custom" must renounce the hope of _European countenance or sympathy. The Bengal mutieet ra have done nothing more th an i n d u l ge in the cus t was of their casts and country, and nothing beyond what wes sanctioned by ciietem and by cteed. With men who think such things permissible did opportunity occur we can have no intercommunion whatever. Front the perfect facility with which in fanticida, suttee, slavery, and thuggee—all great institutions of the country—have been put down, we have no doubt wh a t e ver that half the other pri vileges and usages we fear to meddle with would vanish were we only bold enough to face them. The use of greased cartridges and the readiness with which all castes travel together by rail add to our convictions on these subjects. A caste man and a native custom man—adverse as both must needs be to progress and to the advancement of the great human family —are the enemies of the common wealth, and ought to be made to contribute many times more to its government than those who are its friends. Were the highly orthodox triple-taxed struck from the list of justices and of Government house visitors, andassured that public e mployment was not to be looked for by them, wo should find caste vanish like smoke ; the Brahmin most pro bably discovering, as i n th e c ase of suttee, that the Vedas and Shasters were never iu reality meant to have been interpreted as they have hitherto b.:et:— Bombay Telegraph and Courier.
