THE TIMES ON OUR CURRENCY SYSTEM It is a true saying that an injudicious friend is more dangerous than a❑ inveterate enemy. This has been amply verified in the part which thp Times has taken in defending the Bank Act of 1844, and of holding up the present currency system. We had th3ught that the suspension of that measure would have sufficed to put an end to those strange vagaries which our cotemporary has indulged in for some time past ; but we were mistaken it seems, for in the Tuesday's impression of that journal the climax of absurdity appears to have been reached. The question is far too im portant to allow the Times to propagate its opinions as if they were beyond dispute ; and the danger of allowing them to pass uurefuted is in proportion to the influence which a journal SD powerful exercises in circulating them. We shall not, however, shrink from our duty, nor fail to demon strate that the opinions of the Tinirs upon the present currency laws are of the most fallacious character ; and that they are not only calculated to mislead the public, but to throw obstacle 3 in the way of improvement of the most formidable kind. The Times starts with the broad proposition 12a`.— " When the Bank Charter Act was established it placed England upon the footing of having an entirely metallic currency." This assertion is made in such a bold manner that it may, perhaps, intimidate those who would not dare to queslion the accuracy of the 7irnes newspaper ; but, labouring under no such appre hensions, we. shall not:hesitate to show that there is nothing but the bare assertion of the writer to establish the fact. But let us see how the Times reasons to prove what it states. It tells us that the " total circulation was about £30,000,000, and thenceforward no addition made to, or subtracted from, that amount could Sake place, except precisely in accordance with the national flow or eflux of the chosen metal "—Gold. " Here,' says the Times, "was something apparently inviolable.' We do not pretend to understand this phrase, but we proceed to what follows : "It made no difference that the £39,000,000 com prised certain existing notes, namely £14,000,000 of those of the Bank of England, and £8,000,000 of the country hankers; and that these, instead of being representatives of gold in hand, merely repre sented credit. It was enough that an assurance was given that this element of credit would remain at the point fixed, and would never henceforth be allowed to fine,tuate. The movements of gold for the future would exclusively regeate any transaction. Hence this act placed us virtually in the happy position of a nation with a pure currency, subject to no disturbance or caprief s, injustice, or exigencies of Governments, and varying only in accordance with its natural supply." This is the style of reasoning put forth by the Times to prove that England has an `• entirely metallic currency." We will now endeavour to show how far this assumption is borne out by facts at our command ; and in order to do so we shall take the last returns of the note circulation from the London Gazette, deal ing first with the Bank of England The form in which these returns are made out, are not such as can be readily understood by those uninitiated in bank mystery; for although the Bank professes to issue £14,475,000 without any gold to represent it, it has the impudence to take nearly all the gold from the other department to balance that amount, leaving the current liabilities of the Bank only a few hundred thousand pounds in specie as security. We find by these returns to the 11th of Novem bet•, that the power of issuing notes extended only to £21,141,005, but as the banking department had in reserve £957,710, the actual circulation beyond the walls of the Bank was £10,183,355. Now the total amount of specie in both departments to the same date was only £7 170,508, or less than one-third of the note circulation, or about Gs. in the pound. If we take the banking department by itself, we find the total liabilities £37,020,434, with specie amounting to £504 413, or about threepence in the pound. - Let us now take the and the liabilities and a LIABILITIES. ,wo d.'partments together. ;sets will stand thus : ASSETS.

We should like to know by what process of calculation the Bank of England could at any time pay its depositors and note holders twenty shillings in the pound in specie on deavind. But the Times does not rest here; it endeavours to show that all other banks issuing notes have the same pare currency. "It made no difference that £36,000,000 ccepotised certain existing notes, namely £14,000,000 of those of the Bank of En gland, awl £.,000,000 of those of country hankers," says the Times, "instead of being actually repre sentatives of gold in hand, merely repte3ented credit." Sagacious reasoning this, indeed. It has been left for the Times alone to propogate the strange doctrine that whether £30,000,000 notes are put into circulation representing gold or credit it is one and the same thing. We shall now show how the question stood with all the banks of issue from the last official returns made. The total issues were as follows: Actual Circulation Bank of England Private Banks .... Joint Stock Banks Irish Banks Scotch Banks . 20 183,355 3,760,596 3,104,485 7,261 959 4,948,221 Total ..... .......... ...... £3B 558,616 Against this amount of paper circulation the following sums of specie were held : Bank of England 7,170 508 Irish Banks . 2,282.030 Scotch Banks £11,128,323 As far as the public have any means of knowing, the above comprised the total amount of specie held against paper by the issuing banks of the United Kingdom, exclusive of the private and Joint Stock Banks of issue, which make no returns; but allowing them to have in hand one-tenth part of their issues in specie, there would be an additional sum of £686,500, making the total amount of specie held by the issuing banks £11,814,823, or about one third. As, however, the banking system of the United Kingdom is not formed on the same basis, the power of paying notes in specie differ mate rially in each country, which may be sewn by the following statement: . Specie Assets s. d. Bank of England 7 0 per Private Banks. Joint Stock Banks 2 0 IriEh Banks.... 6 3 Scotch Banks ..... 7 10 This shows that as far as the circulation' of paper money is concerned, the power of paying in specie is not based upon the precious metals, but upon credit ; and as th se metals Pre withdrawn from the Banks, more particularly from the Bank of England, credit must be diminished, to enable the Banks to maintain their position. To avow the currency thus created is "entirely metallic," is false upon the very face of these facts. But the Times does not rest contented in affirm ing that the note circulation is a "pure currency;" THE NORTHERN TIMES. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1857 it tells us that " in England every contract is made in gold ;" therefore, to the note circulation we have given, must be added all the commercial transac tions which men enter into from day to day, whether upon credit or otherwise ; these too must be paid in gold. How this theory can be fulfilled, recent vents have plainly shewn both here and in America. Let alone the contracts of the merean. tile and trading part of the community, we have enormous amounts in the shape of deposits, created almost entirely by credit, all of which the Times says are resolvable into gold. A greater delusion could not be promulgated, and until it is got rid of from our monetary system, the periodical panics which afflict this country can never be prevented. In our columns of to-day will be found a letter from a correspondent who has addressed us on former occasions, and who has thoroughly exposed the hollowness of our present pretensions to pay all our demands in specie. It is the belief in this fals?, position that the Bank of England has so long been able to work upon the credulity of the nation. The people are now beginning to awake from their slumber, and must see that a bank issuing twenty millions, at the same time professing to discharge all its liabilities in specie, when it really has no more than half-a-crown in the pound, is a gross insult to all common sense ; and to call such a " pure currency" is the very perfection of jugglery. If, as the Times says, "gold is the only true currency,' then let us have it ; but let us have none of your mixtures palmed off as genuine. If the Bank of England, or any other bank, wishes to issue its promises to pay in specie on demand, then we say compel them to fulfil them ; but do not let the country be deluded into the belief that any bank can pay its notes and liabilities in specie, when, as we have shown, it has only a few shillings in the pound to do it. The Tinos evidently desires to draw the public mind away from the main point at issue, and to dwell upon the bad management of some of the fallen establishments; this has nothing whatever to do with what concerns the nation. The question to consider is, whether the present system of currency is sound in principle and in practice : to decide one of two things, namely, whether the plan of a gold basis shall be cacried out in its entiYety—or whether we are to have a paper currency which shall set gold free as any other commodity. The present mixed system has been tested and found wanting in everything but in its power to bring the country every few years into the most alarming embarrassments, and to crush every species of industry within its iron grasp.—Bankers' Circular. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH-SATURDAY. THE R)YAL BRITISH BANK.—THE QU ZEN v. ESDAILE AND OTHERS.—This morning was appointed for hearing the arguments of counsel relative to the rule obtained by the above defendants against the Attorney-General, for particulars relied on to prove the charges of conspiracy and fraud preferred against them. The Court was densely crowded. Mr. Dallas, the American Minister, was accommodated with a seat on the bench. Sir F. Thesiger, Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, Mr. Welshy, and Mr. H. Browne were counsel for the Crown. Sir F. Kelly, Mr. Sergeant Shee, Mr. Boville, Q.C., and about a dozen other learned gentlemen appeared on the part of the defendants. Sir F. 'Thesiger said he appeared to show cause against several rules that had been obtained against the defendants in this court, but before doing so he explained the absence of the Solicitor-General in the case, that it might not be considered he was neglecting his duties. During the time of the vacancy of the office he (Sir F. Thesiger) was applied to by the Government to prosecute, to which he consented, and he assumed the responsibility of advising the proceedings. When the learned Solicitor-General received his appointment, he found him (Sir F. Thesiger) in his present position, and he very handsomely declined to interfere. The learned counsel then proceeded to show cause against 15 rules that had been obtained by the defendant, which might be consolidated and regarded as cne for the purpose of their Lordship's consideration. They, however, varied in some respects, and it was necessary, therefore, to distinguish between them. Four of the rules were obtained on behalf of Mr. Stapleton, M.P., Mr. Kennedy, Mr. Cameron, and Mr. M'Leod, and were very large indeed, requiring the prosecution to supply them in writing with particulars of the specific offences intended to be charged against them under each of these counts ; then there were also four rules to show cause why they should not be furnished with particulars, in writing, of the specific statements of the charges to be relied on under the 2nd, 4th, 6th, Bth, 9,h, 10th, and 11th counts ; and one confining the particulars to what was called the even counts, including the 12th count, particu lars of which had been ordered by Mr. Justice Crompton. The learned counsel then proceeded to argpe that the counts in the indictment were sufficiently explicit, and it was for the Court to say whether or no the counts were of a sufficiently explicit character to give the defendants a adequate knowledge of the offences they would have to answer on the day of trial. After a lengthened argument, in which Mr Serjt. Ballantine, Mr. H.Brown. Sir F. Kelly, Mr. Sergeant Shee, and Mr. Edwin James took part, the counsel for the prosecution, on the intimation of the Court. consented to abandon the general counts in the indictment, and to furnish the defendants with the pa-tieulars of the overt acts to be relied on at the trial, and not to give evidence on any other of which notice had not been given. Sir F. Kelly, on the part of Mr Stapleton, applied for additional particulars with reference to the balance sheet stated to be falsified, particularly with reference to an item of £610,204 Os. ld. for convertible securities, &c., &c., without which he would be unable to answer the charge. A similar application for particulars was made on the part of Mr. Cameron by Mr. Digby Seymour. The Court was unanimously of opinion that the furnishing of particulars should be left to the discretion of the prosecution, observing that the accounts referred to had been supplied by the defendants. Application refused. Further proceedings were stayed till Wednesday, when the particulars in reference to the indictments are to be furnished, that the trial might take place at the after term of the sittings at Guildhall. COURT OF CHANCERY.-SATURDAY. THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY FRAUDS. CLAI MS OF THE PREFERENCE SHAREHOLD FRS. JUDGMENT. LIENI.Y V THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY — The Lord Chancellor having appointed this morning for delivering judgment in the case of Henry and others v. the Great Northern Railway Company, the court was crowded with anxious shareholders and others having an interest in the various descriptions of railway property. The transactions arose out of the enormous frauds of Leopold Redpath, the principal registrar of the com pahy, the circumstances connected with which induced the directors to repudiate the claims of the preference shareholders. The object of the suit which was corn menced before Vice-Chancellor Wool, was to obtain a declaration that the plaintiffs and other preference shareholders were entitled to be paid full dividends from the 30th of June, 1856, before any dividends should be paid to the ordinary shareholders, and to restrain the company by injunction from de claring or paying dividends to the ordinary share holders without regard to such rights of the plain tiffs, and the other holders of preference stock• The judgment of the Vice-Chancellor now appealed from was to the effect that the plaintiffs and other holders of preference stock were entitled to be paid dividends out of the property realised by the Company from the 30th June, 1856, before any payment of dividends to the holders of the ordinary stock. The Vice-Chancellor also observed that the 3rd section of the Act of 1857 was cumulative by way of security for, and not in substitution of such preference dividends. From this decision the Company, on behalf of the ordinary stockholders, now appealed. The Lord Chancellor and the Lords Justices this morning delivered their judgments seriatim, affirming the decree of Vice-Chancellor Wood, that the preference shareholders were entitled to be paid their dividends for the full year, and that If there was not sufficient profits to pay the dividends within one half year, they were entitled to be paid the arrears out of the accruing profits, before any dividend could be divided amongst the ordinary share. holders—Appeal dismissed with costs. BOYS' CLOTHING MADE WITH GREAT TASTE AT LEWIS and C)APANY'S, Ranelagh street. DEiTH OF MR. THOMAS SOWLER. —This gentleman, who had been know n fir man 3 ye a r s i n M anc h ester as the proprietor of the Courier newspaper, died on Wednesday afternoon at his residence in Bowdon. 31-. Sowlor's career in connection with the local press has been a long and honourable one, and the, journal with w hi c h he was connected never deviated from the political and ecclesiar tical p inciplts for the promotion of which it was est.bl'shed. We b3:ieve the Courier was started by Mr. Sowler in 1825 ; it has therefore reached its 32nd year ander nne proprietor ship, a rot very usual circumstance in pub is journalism. Uutil very recently, Mr. Sowler took an active pin in the management of the paper, hut of la'e his health has been gridual'y failing, and au affection of the ch•'st has for many months pointed to ano very distant termination. We understand that Mr. Sowler visited Harrogate a short time since, and returned to Bowdon recently, much im- Preyed, as was imagined, in health. When he arose on Wednesday:morning the improvement seemed to continue, but in the afternoon he appeared to be sinking rapidly, and he expi re d i n hi s c h a i r b e f ore even i n g. W e believe the decea se d was i n hi s 67th year.—Manchester Exam i ner. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, Saturday Evening. There was more activity in our Cotton Market to-day, and the sales were fully 5,000 bales, including 1,500 on Speculation and for Export. Prices also show an upward tendency. The Liverpool Share Market has been dull all day, with a limited business at rather lower prices, Midlands having given way most. The following were the day's transactions :-Birkenhead, Lanca shire and Cheshire, 621; Blackburn 81; Caledonian, 371 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 891, 89g-, 894, 894.; o. £0 shares, par; Lancaster and Carlisle, New shares, 7 11-10 p; London and North Western, 944, 94i, 94, 931 : De. 4 shares, 14 c d ; Midland, 8l a ; 81a, 81t, 8 li; Dovers, 18 5-16, 181; Grand Trunk of Canada, 84, 8 13-16; Great Western of Canada, 1.74 ; Do. £lO shares, 111; North Union B, 153 ; Pacific Steam Company, 401.

The demand for Money continues very active, and rates are very firmly maintained, but on the whole a much better feeling was apparent. The expected arrivals of gold from America and Aus tralia has no doubt added to the confidence already felt, and much of the doubt, which still exists will be removed should these arrivals reach any material extent. A very unfounded report was circulated. on the London Stock Exchange this afternoon that another bank had failed, but the statement turned out to be totally without founda tion. During the past week there has been very little change to report in the condition of the Western trade of Leeds, business having continued very dull. There was, however, a rather better tone with regard tc future prospects as affairs get more settled. The mills in most of the manufacturing localities continue to run short time. At Bradford there was no improvement to report, business having been exceedingly flat, with few symptoms of returning prosperity, little or no business having been done in either Yarns or Piece Goods. At Manchester the little improvement caused by the few orders given out upon the arrival of the Indian Mail has been entirely lost, and the market is in an exceedingly depressed state. The advance of id. per lb. on cotton caused increased activity in all departments of the trade. Prices rule with great irregularity, generally with a downward tendency. _ The Banker's Circular of this day, in allusion to the present state of the Money Market, says : - The drain upon the Bank has caused the sale of 3,037,6941. of G ,vernment securities, and an increase of its private securities to the amount of 30,299,2701., or 4,185,8171. above the previous week. These facts are sufficient to indicate the enormous demand upon the Bank for assistance. As 2,000 0001. of notes have be , n issued under the Treasury letter the Government securities have been increased from 14,475,000/. to 16,475,0001. in the Issue Department. It, therefore, appears that previous to issuing the Treasury letter the power of the Bank to issue notes had fallen to 20,554,5951., being only 371,2401. above the actual circulation on the 11th instant. Such has been the result upm the Bank's resources during a period of eight days. The state of the Money Market has, notwithstandiog, been of a glonly character, the numerous failures of large houses have kept the public mind in a state of extreme anxiety as to what might happen next. The large increase of private securities shows pl a i n ly th at the bank has afforded extensive accommodation to the commercial classes, end the bullion prospects a-e gradually becoming ;)righter. There is evidently a tone of greater confidence returning; but there is still a very heavy pressure upon trade is general. Ten per cent, as the minimum rate of interest at the bank is quite sufficient to paralyze the general business of the country ; and, however desirable it may be, under present circumstances, to concede to this demand, we must not lose sight of the causes which have contributed to such a resul ; and when it is considered that numbers of the largest mercantile heuses in the kingdom have been compelled to appeal to the Bank of England to sustain them during the last few days, a very clear estimate may be formed of what might have happened had the Government persisted in refusing to sanction an abrogation of the Bank Charter Act. The merchants of this country, however, ought at once to make themselves acquainted with the practical bearing of this law upon their operations ; hitherto they have remained contented under a system introduced by a set of wily politicians and millionaires, without troubling themselves either to think or to act in such a mater. A correct knowledge of money and banking is the science of commerce ; and it is because merchants generally have neglected it that they have frequently been m ado the sport of a cunning oligarchy more dangerous than despotism. The Market for the Public Funds and Securities fluctuated materially to-day. In the morning a considerable degree of buoyancy was apparent, without, however, altering the prices. In the afternoon, in consequence of some unsatisfactory rumours, a decline of per cent. occurred, and the and the 4 Market closed very dull at 891 to 894, and for the Account at 90 to 904.

Respecting the movement in Mines during the week, the Mining Journal of to day says- Alfred Console have fluctuated very much ; the price declined from 17 to 13, sellers, but on Friday suddenly became in demand again, and left off at 14; the lode in the 130, as we stated last week, did not continue so rich as it had been, but cutting it in the 140, which is daily expected, may improve prospects again. Wheal Edward shares have very much improved, and are more in demand at 74 to 74; there is an impression abroad that these shares will be better ere long. East Basset shares have been much more in demand, and the price advanced to 90, 95 ; Grambler and St Aubyn has been reported as looking better in the 36, and shares inquired after at 80 to 85; Wheal Arthur, 31 to 4. In West Glenville, large transac tions have taken place ; the lode has improved to V2O per fathom, but is not looking so well ; shares afer advancing to 95., leave off at ss. to 6s.

We are happy to announce that the old and respected house of Mr. Alexander Denny, iron ship builder and engineer, Dumbarton, has again re sumed business. Trade in the north of Ireland continues in a much more satisfactory state than could be ex_ petted. A correspondent, under date of last evening, says : _ _ Compared with ti:e suspensions in England and Scotland, Ireland stands out in favourable relief; and the fact that so very few of the manufacturing firms of this country have felt it necessary to seek the indulgence of their creditors, is gratifying evidence that their transactions are carried on in a proper mercantile spirit, and that they do not, as a body, c:minit the great mistake of confound ing over trading and speculation with enterprise and energy. Employment in Belfast,,we are happy to say, is pretty general—all things considei el ; and the reduced prices of food prevents those who are not engaged from experiencin g any distress. We must make some exceptions with respect to the sewed muslin trade; about two th msand young women, who were formerly earning from 5s to 7s and 8s a-week, having been thrown idle by the suspension of the leading houses in that trade in Scotland, and the contracted operations of the majority of the local houses. But, the greater number of those young women have fathers and brothers who are employed at ether avocations, so that they are in a position far removed from distress. The latest news from New York, and the United States, now celebrated for the consumption of British manufactures, has given a more hopeful feeling to the two trades in the North of Ire land. Business has Irgun to fall into a better mode of ope ration, and slowly returning confidence gives its effect to general commerce. We hare beard of several pretty fair orders from first-class houses, having come to hand by tl- e last mail; others are expected by the Persia, due to-morrow. Stocks in the hands of agents in Boston, New York, and other cities in the Northern States, are not large, and it is hoped that the recent terrible revolutions will have a good effect in the end, by creating a desire, on the part of our American customers, to turn a new leaf in their commercial arrangements. Six, eight, or ten months' credit should not exist in any country professing right ideas of exchange, and now is the time to insist on a shorter date for payments, not only of linens, but of all other commodities. There were rumours last week that one of the largest concerns in the bleaching trade had noticed two hundred of its workers to leave the next fortnight. These rumours, it appears, were incorrect, and it may be hoped that no reduction of labour will take place. Brown markets has a slight degree of animition this week ; prices offered we e low, but in mcst cases holders refused to do business except o❑ terms not much under recent quotations. Light goods were more looked for. Tho insane conduct of the Shane Frill mob has had a most injurious effeet non thee weavers themselves. The attempt to interfere with the progress of power-loom enterprise is not only madness, but really the worst possible course for the people's own interest. The yarn trade continues quiet, with no change of quotation ; but men with cash in their hands could, in some cases, boy lots of yarns at lower figures. The Flax Markets were rather brisker during the week. Some lots of fine flax sold, on Wednesday, in Tandragee, at I ls. to 13s a stone. The following are the Gazette average prices of Muscovado Sugar, for the week ending Nov. 17, 1857, exclusive of Custom's duties payable thereon, on the importation thereof into Great Britain : From the West Indies, 235. 31. per cwt.; Mau ritius, 16s. 2cl. ditto; average price of the foregoing descriptions, 20s. 41. i. ditto.

In the London Produce Markets, early this week, a large bubiness was transacted, at enhanced prices. Since then, however, the recurrence of failures, and the continued stringency of the Money Market, has caused renewed depression, and there has been a partial reaction in price. Sugar was in active demand at a rise of 2s. 6d. to 4s. per cwt., but ls. to 23. per cwt. has since been lost, and the market closed yesterday afternoon with a heavy appearance. Coffee was also at fuller rates, but the quotations are now ls. to 2s. per cwt. lower, and the inquiry has abated. Tea has been dull, but tolerably steady ; Cocoa has been offered at a reduction of 2s. to ss. per cwt. ; and Rice has been very inactive, at little better than nominal rates. In Rum the dealings are very important; Saltpetre is 3s. to 43. per cwt. lower, and in Spices the transactions have been limited. Tallow is flat at 483. 6(1. per cwt. on the spot. The Public Sales of Colonial Wool are proceeding with more spirit, the manufacturers being encouraged by the im proved accounts from America and India. Wheal Edward shares have also been dealt in in the Stock Exchange at 7i. Other stocks are dull. Mariquita shares have been dealt in at 12s 6d. All foreign de scriptions have been neglected. Subjoined is the official list of prices in the Mining Exchange :—Alfred Consols, 13, 14, 13 134 ; East Basset, 91, 93 ; East Russell, 2 3.16 ; Grambler and St. Aubyn, 771, 821; Kelly Bray, 30., 323 6d., 515., North Bassett, 112, 12, 12i ; Sortridge Consols, 2, 2 1-16 ; West Grenville, 6s. 63. 3d. ; Wheal Edward £7 83. 91., £7 6;. 31., 71,- ; Wheal Grenville, 275. 6d., 3 23. 6d. ; Wheal Uny, 74, 1. In foreign and colonial mining securities thire was no alteration worthy of notice. COVENT GALDEN MARKET—Nov. 21. Supplies of most things are greater than the demand, and prices are falling. Pears still consist chiefly of Marie Louise, Glou Morceau, Duchess d'A.ngoulemo , Crassane, Jean de Witte, and Chaumontel. L lrge impor tations of foreign produce also continue to arrive. There is still a good supply of filberts, which fetch from 30s to 35s per 100 lbs. Kent cobs continue good; prices range nearly the same as last week. Barcelona nuts fetch 22; per bushel, and Brazils 18s ditto. The Orange season has now commenced in good earnest ; they are likely to be abundant and good. Among vegetables are still some excellent cauliflowers, which realise from 2s 6d to 3s 61 per dozen. Cucumbers are. plentiful. Spanish onions may be had at from Is to 2s Gd per dozen. Potatoes are quite 10s. per ton lower than they were last week. Cut flowers consist of orcids, gardenias, heliotropes, gera niums, vio:ets, mignonette, heaths, camellias, chrysanthe mums, and roses. WEEKLY REPORT OF METAL MARKET. The metal market continues altogether inanimate, and although most prices are quoted nominally the same as last week, the actual prices at which purchases may be made can only be ascertained by offers to buy, which no one is willing to make, such is the general stagnation of affairs. The directors of the Anglo-Mexican Mint Company, annouunce a dividend. At the meeting of the Kelly Bray Mine adventurers to-day, a call of 2s per share was made. At the Carvath Mine meeting a call of 7s 61 per share was made The directors of the Devonshire Great CansoMated Copper Mining Company, at their weekly board meeting, held on Saturday, declared a dividend of .4'8,192, being 48 per share out of profits arising from sales of ore sampled in the months of July and August last. After Payment of the same there remains in hand a balance of £33,375 5s 7d in cash, ore bills not at maturity, and reserved fund, applicable to the general purposes of the company.
