CIRCULAR. The Directors, having now completed their negotiations with .tbe Russian Government for the above Railway, have much 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, 18'7: 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 ehanged in consequence of the length of the line having been reduced, and several important modifications having been allowed by the Russian Govern wont. 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 41 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 importance, by an eminent accountant. The line has been most carefully surveyed by John Hawk shaw, Esq., the engineer-in -chief. It is of very easy construc tion —there being no tunnels, deep cuttings, nor high em bankments—few bridges, and those offering no engineering difficulties. The whole line is almost upon a level, the maxi mum gradient being 1 in 200, sloping gradually from Duna burg to Riga ; thus greatly economising the cost of con veying the produce from the interior. A contract for the construction of the railway and the supply of the whole of the rolling - stock and material, has, with the approval of the engineer-in-chief, been entered into with an eminent English contractor, with ample security for its due performance. The total sum required for the construction o fthe Railway including all moneys to be paid to the contractor, the ex treme cost o f the land, the interest on calls during constrac tiou, and the preliminary and all other expenses of manage . nientote., whatsoever, have been carefully estimated at the sum of 1,343,000/, sterling, thus showing an excess of fixed Pital over expenditure of 293,2501., the benefit of which excess will be obtained by the Shareholders by the redemp tion of their shares at par. The amount of • the guarantee on the fixed capital of 1,636,2501. (after deducting the one-eighth per cent, for the si nking fund) is 71,5861. per annum, which, upon the above es timate, gives 51 per cent, per annum for interest on the capital ( 1 ,343,00010 actually required, and still le .ves a cm liiderable margin for unforeseen contingencies. BY the statutes the shares will be reduced from their origi nal amount of 1001. to 20/., or 125 silver rubles, 500 francs, 236 guilders, or 139 thalers of Prussia, each. In conse quence of the reduction in the guaranteed capital, and the issue of the shares being limited to 81,600 four shares only of 201. each will be exchanged for each 1001. share. On these shares of 201. only 161, 10will be required to xpe make up th e a b ove estimatedncl a it . ure of 1,343,000/ ; and the gua ran t eed interest of 17s. 6d.per share, exclusive of the sinkin g f un d , i s equal to 51 * per cent, on 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, to issue separate coupons in series, available for 10 years each. One of these coupons will re present the guaranteed interest, and the other the dividends on the extra profits of the line. The former will expire on the redemption of .the share at par ; but the latter will con tinue in force during the period for which it may have been issued. A sum for interest during construction bas been included by the Russian Government in the fixed capital . and 5 per cent, per annum will therefore be paid on all calls until the ° P e niog of the whole line. The shareholders will enjoy, during the whole period of the concession, the entire profits, which, upon a m os t care f u l calculation, based upon the existing traffic, show a rate of 15 Nr swat eter The b ßailway will connect with Ri ga th e th ree cap it a l s —S t. !:surg, Moscow, and Warsaw.

STAMPED 5 L°.] a balance-sheet and report of the profits and accumu lations of the joint stock or capital from the com mencement of the business, or the end of the period included iu tlie last preceding report. Then, as to declaring di,vd-•nds, articles 60 and 63 are to the following effsc• :—That at the end of the first six months of every year, and also at the end of every second six menths of every year ex cept as thereinafter mentioned, the court of direc tors 'shall determine upon, appoint, and declare such dividend for the period ,then elapsed, out of the clear profit of the company then actually accrued and reduce I into possession, as they should think fit ; and if the court of &rectors shall think proper they are not to make any dividends of the profits during tha first year of business, and such profits shill form part of the " surplus or reserved fund," and in e ach succeeding year the net profits, after making deducti 'n and allowance for bad and doubt ' ful debts, shill, aft-r setting apart such proportion of profits as tne directors shall think requisite for the surplus fund, be divided among the proprietors; but no proportion of profits is ts be set apart for the surplus fund, if by reason thereof the dividend will be reduced below 4 per cent. ; and the sur plus fund for the time being is to be added to the capital, . and never to be considered part of the profits. . By .article 64 at every annual general meeting i he proprietors are to appoint two or three persona, 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 ts 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 examination, or to lay the sem before the next general meeting ; and the auditors ere empowered to require the production of the books, voucher..-, writings, and documents re'ating to the said acorn's s, and to require the assistance of the general and other managers, accountants, clerks, and officers of the company, or such of them as they shall think proper in the - investiga s tion of such accounts.. The 65th article pro vides for petitioning the Crown for leave to increase the capital of the company by supple mental charter, and that the holders of new shares are to be bound 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 article 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 shall as soon as possible call a special meeting . of tile proprietors, and submit to such meeting a till statement of the affairs of the com pany; and if it shalt 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 chair Man shall declare the company dissolved, and the same shall be 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 4 tions contained in the deed of constitution, or in any by law or supplemental deed to be made iu pursuance thsresf, 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 within 12 calendar 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 here 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 f r acts of commission as of omission—that is, each individual of the body who does not do what in him lie. to discharge his public duty contracts by his negligence individual guilt (see " Rex v. Hol land," 5, T. R., page 607), and where parties are required by law to certify as to a particular fact it is not 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 tile 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 Slight during this most painful inquiry, or to single out any particular persons as delinquents ; that will be for elsewhere and hereafter ; but having regard to the course pursued in the management of khe 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 i-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 statute (7th and Bth Vie., cap. 113, sec. 5), and the terms of the charter, pag.a 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 the capital and property and value thereof, and of the profits and losses of the company, thereby conceal ing the actual state and position of the affairs of the corporation, and giving a semblance of solvency where the reality had ceased to exist, 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 ihe died 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 had teen 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 (see articles 60 and 63 ; and see P. Lord Campbell, in "Barnes v. Pennell," 2 House of Lords Oases, pp. 509 and 524 5). 4th, 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 merset) by Weans 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 charier). 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 supplementa l charter from the Crown by false representations and by false reports and balance-sheets, and , d making dividends when not justified in eo doing, there upon issuing new shares or obtainingdo: cheat plo the public new shares at a premium, with intent to public and in contempt of the prerogativer.s themisap plication Crown. 6th, making such repeated go 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 o f dou t s he s P eculation by la ying o ut large sums bank money upon an undertaking quite foreign to the business of banking—l, refer particularly to the Welsh mines—and thereby also incurring heavy losses; not e xercising proper superintendence and control over the general manager in conducting the business and a ffairs of the company ; and though the directors found that the losses of the company had exhausted all the "surplus or reserv e d fund," and also one fourth of the capital actually paid up, failing to call a special general meeting of the proprietors ) and . to submit 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 violation of the terms of the charter. (See articles 3 2 33, 34, and 71.) I may here add that the peti tion to the Crown for the original charter con tained fake representations' as to the payment of the deposit .on shares.

Mr. James Sadkir, after a long silence, has treated the world to his locus in quo, He is in the gay capital, enjoying, with the Grand Duke Constantine, the gaie ties of that delightful city. But beyond that general description, deponent sayeth not. lie does not enter into particulars—whether be sojourneth at the Hotel Maurice or the Banlieu, whither have retired the dig. tressed operatives whose scant incomes suffice not for a more central lodging. James, however, we may be sure, disports himself in a more sumptuous fashion. Ile 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 Freres—nightly abstract a portion of the poor shareholders or depositors' savings. We wish the Bou levard rover had particularised his residence, but be was too cautious for such candour, because he was welt aware of the consequences to his liberty. The sub joined letter 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 : TO THE EDITOR OF THE DUBLIN EVENING POST. "Paris, May 8, 1857. " Sir, —I observe in your puhFcation of the 30th ult. a letter from Mr. James Scully, in which he states- 1 I never bought any snares in so rotten and cursed a concern ; those I had were derived through adminis tration to my father, and which I often desired to gat rid of, but was always. informed that the bank would never purch ase an y s h ares 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 sha re 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 director, being considered 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 the bank ; 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 2,0000, which the directors considered him good security far. I am sorry my two brother directors did not give 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, bad 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 orators 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, &a, and was ready and willing 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 Ist 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• fee 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, John 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 tiops he was mixed up in, and railways in England, France, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, and Italy, I denounced bins 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, an d some of his friends, that large 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 worst was over, and that he was fast getting out of the temporary difficulties he had got into, and that La would have a oonviderablo eurplua after paying all debts that I had any knowledge of. "You also state, in your publication of the 30th ult., that Mr. V. Scully was to receive 7.0001. 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 bis 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 banedeed, got up in 1842 —never saw it in the bank or elsewhere, since I signed it in 1842. I then stated most distinctly 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. I state nothing here but what can be proved, and I trust in justice, you will not object to publish this letter.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, " JAMES SADLEIR." RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.

Yesterday the half-yearly inspection of the carps 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- Genera! of Fortifications. The troops having been drawn up in the barrack-squire Col. Eden inspected their clothing and necessaries, after which he minu tely examined Brompton Barracks, the huts at Prince Henry's bastion,the barracki library, and the various offices. In the afternoon the entire corps marched to Chatham lines, where they went through the manoeuvres of a field-day in the pre sence of a large numb .r of spect.tors. The result of the inspection was very satisfactory. A discharge of troops to the number of 40 non commissioned officers and Inez tom place at t ha t ham. yesterday. The Winchester, 50, Capt. T. Wilson, late flag ship of Rear-Admiral Sir Ai. 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 . C.B. . The Win chesterlought home the crew of her M-tjesty's sloop Bittern, 12, and also 89 sick and wounded invalids; 28 deaths occurred on board during the passage home from Hong Kong, which she left on the 13th Dec.

Th 3 list he published was said by its critics to have been written by a soldier "frightened at sea's alarm.," and was stig matised- in various quarters as au "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 Commons this day week. The following is an extract from the letter of an experienced " blue jacket " of 2O yetrs', 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—rolliniawfu.ly, pitching tremendously, the troops' deck afloat all day and night, the decks not properly caulked, and expecting every moment to see the masts go over the side 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 28th ult. The sailing three-decker Princess Charlotte, 104, Cape. G. St. Vincent King, C. 8., was taken out of dock at Portsmouth yesterday afternoon and past under the shears to be masts-!. Her rigging is ready for going over her mast-heads.

The Urgent's engines were built for the Russian Govern ment . about three years 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.

COMMISSIONER HOLROYD'S OPINION OF THE ADVISABILITY OF A PROSECUTION. Yesterday morning was fixed by Mr. Commis sioner Holroyd for delivering judgment on the ex amination of the directors, which his been so often beim the public. His Honour said—Mr. Linklater, the solicitor for the assignees, having a few days since intimated to the Court that he had, at least for the pre sent, closed the examinations in the matter of the Royal British Bank, with the exception (I' some formal depositiOng and some dommen tary evidence, I have considerel_ course it is the duty of the Court to take with reference to the case as it now stands. According to the Act of. 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 .4* Trade, and the Court is to be at liberty to state any special circumstances relating to the formation or management of the effairs of the company ; bat 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 examinaiion has been adjourned to the 24th of June ; but, never thelss., 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 mero motto, to direct copies of auy examinations taken under the bankruptcy to be transmitted to her Majesty's Attorney-General, Both tt the Govern ment may be advised by the law offic-rs of tie Crown as to instituting criminal proceedings. To wait until the passing of the last examinet on 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 e•-ta,blishment 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 ca , e 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 t 6 make to refer shortly to the Act for the regulation of joint-stock banks 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 let, 2d, 3d, 18th, 33d, 34th, 36th, 44th, 45th, 47th, 60th, 63d, 64th, 65th and 71st. By the statute 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 o n th e 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-fourth of the directors yearly, and for preventing the re-election of the retiring directors for at feast 12 calendar months. 5. Fur preventing the company from purchasing any shares or making advances to any person on the security of a share. 6. For the publication of the assets and liabilities of the company Place 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 teis 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 ehares 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 prirpom of carrying on the banking business. The material articles in the deed of constitution 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 re;ulat'on 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 auy 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 ware 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 shad have the entire, sole, and exclusive control, manage. ment, and disposal of the property and revenues of the company, and shall regilate and determine the mode and terms of carrying on the business thereof ; and the court shall have power to nominate and ap point under such conditions and on such terresasthey 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 director. 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 1 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 hold a second general, meeting, 0 9 be called a general half-yearly meeting of proprien, tom ; and 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 or the profits and funds, assets, and lief ilities thereof as the court shall think proper be made known ; and a balance-sheet, and profit and loss 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 art i c l e 47 the court of direators - at evety general meeting of proprietors, shall exhibit a true and accurate _ ----•NEWS-Priii)_Eß , it,','N,,_▪ \,_ the blok;, vouchers ~ : trAl,,, , ~(I.o,sArficit g to such accounts they in fact, the accounts v - 4t6 - 44(40:V;7 8 4: - , aleti the real finan c ial st ti t ; eili4.. i c :4t A l ine . The auditors w e re in AA 't 5..1 fake g..,,x4d4a hood of that whi c h th e y - '7 e r —s ▪ - tit ne elected to avail themselve -tl mess of know ledge within theic ever. Now comes the ques tion of the crimin. ' z onsibility of the directors and other officer , ' e* - titr sr - erpoiektion„ Upon this point no doubt eAll . 3 .t ,t 1 : 1", • must be re membered that tle rt i ''srliT ink was a public company, incorporatect by ..,„ e,. - , -!- - . - e - patent 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, fortr - in fact, a part of the " Law Merchant," of which our c ants tike nonce, and In the right conduet of which business, at least by en incorporated public company, with tr ans f era bl e s h ares, which, subject to the provisions in the deed, might be freely b eight and sold in the market, I think it may be said the public have an interest. The management- of the business of such a company is, in truth, a in.atter of generil and public concern. Again, certain duties are imposed on the corn puny, its directors and oth"r officers, by the Act of Parliament, and the charter granted under the act ; and the provisions of the (feral of constitution of the coinpany which are spe cified in the act, together with such otMrs as to her Majesty shall seem fit, are require I by the act to be set fur hin the letters patent. Well, then it is laid down that a corporation may be indicted for a nonfeasance in not carrying out the provisioes either of their cells t ituting statute or of their charter, or for a misfeasance consisting of an offence at common law, not being treasonable, felonious, or attended with vir deuce, 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 ; an.l 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 s t a t u t e f or bid s th e doing athing, the doing it wiifully, although with out any corrupt motive, is indictable (sea " Rex. v. Sainsbury," 4 .T. R., 457) ; and if a statute enjoin an act te be done, without pointing out any mode Of punishment in case of default, an indictment will de 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 prosecution for breach of a public duty (see " Bryce v. Belcher," 4C. 8., 866). I am aware that where a public act regulates rights which are merely private au 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 infrinete - ment of the act of Parliament, or charter founded on the act, and under which such a company 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 found that they are, amenable to the law for their conduct as directors, and obnoxious to punishment for 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 Board 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 sions, 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 p a id u p, &c. I think this may easily 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 he 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 provisions, 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 theprejudice 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-stock banks is essential to the stability of such establishments, on the other hand one cannot contemplate the mischief, misery, a n d ruin which is produced by the sudden stoppea L e of a bank, without being sensible that it is equally essential that the directors 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 sponsibili.y 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 disgrace 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 reposed too much on a delusive belief that responsibility be comes infinitesimal by division. For the reasons 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 brougut 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 mucn misery to thousands. Mr. Freshfield—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 five minutes' notice to attend hereto hear Sour Honour deliver judgmenr, or I should have communicated. with Mr. Stapleton, who wished to make some ob servations. 1 have merely to observe that his ex amination 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 &kited by others being exAmined wbo 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 —I 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. Freshfield—Mr. Stapleton is afraid of no discuEsion ; and if more had been elicited the more clear would his conduct in the matter have ap peared. • ." Mr. Liuklater—He will have au opportunity of saying that hereafter. MEETING IN FAVOUR OF THE BALLOT AT CARDIFF. —On Mond4 evening a numerously attended meeting was held at Cardiff, for the purpose of forming a bral,ca ballot society., Mr. E. .C. Whitehurst, vice-chairman of the London association, was present, sad proposed a resolution, which was Seconded . by Mr. Freeman, One of the late candidates for the borough, to .the effect 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, healthy gems, and pure bre a th, are indispensab:e characteristics of its beauty. Upon the pt rfect conformation and condition of the different parts belonging to the mouth, depend a just and harmonious delivery of words, the pleasing eloquence of the smile, end the inany-_nameleis attractions which dwell in the vicinity of this feature. It is impossible, therefore, to be too particular in the bygenic care bestowed upon this portion of the face. It is the feature most frequently called into active movement, and, theref re, even where b.auty of form exists, careful training is needed to enable pleasingly it s man if o ld d u ti es . An elegant i m t a t n o n p e e r r m o fo f r utterance renders words, insignificant in them selves, agreeable and persuasive. -Ia the-act-of eating, skilful, neat management of the mouth is veryimportant to personal appearance. The laugh is also alevere test to this feature. ET. tor s ' f a Of idge' l ilip' ebi' ~.3 Of ..e0 ,--- 10 , so la
