UNION BANE OP AUSTRALIA.-(ram DAY.)

A special general meeting of the shareholders
was held at 1 o'clock at the olSees of the book, 38, Old
Broad-street, Mr. R. Swore in the chair, " for the
of considering the propriety of repealing the 35th cTuarTisief
the company's deed of settlement, so far as it limits the
anima by which the capital of the company may be in-
ceased to the sum of 1,000.0001., and of resolvieg that the
existieg capital of 1,000,0C3/. shall be further iecressed, and
to pan such resolutions as may be thought neosmiry to
terry the same into effect."
The Stomata read the report of the directors. It com-
menced by referring to the position of the oompay at the
Crtof the last half-yearly meeting, as set forth
ed report, and then said that a neat asininattos of
the 6eascial affairs of the compsey showed them
be be in a very satisfactory position. New eipiesl
wee, however, requisite to provide adequately for
the development of the business of the bank,
and hence the propmal now to be laid before the meeting.
It was proposed to issue 10,000 sew shares of 151. mob, at
a premium of 20/. per share, to be distributed smog the
proprietors in the properties of oue sew share for every
four old shares held oa the Ist of December next in this
cottetry, and on the let of April next in the cassias ;
121. 10s. per share to be payable ea allotmeot, 121. 10s. oo
the 15th of February, 101. per shames the 15th of April,
and 101. on the 15th et Jene•Aec sew shares to
participate equally with the shares in the
dividend which sha/1 become mobilo January, 1865.
It was further proposed that N. per cent should be paid
es the instalments up to the 30th of Jane art.
The CIUMAAN, after expressing his belief of the neon-
elty of the proposed imams. of espial, and intimating that
75,001 W. was required to reduce the amount at which the
beak premises were put down in the books, tamely, 90,0: N.,
moved a resolution for repealing the 35th clause of the deed
of settlement, and hamming the capital of the company in
the maser proposed by the directois.
In reply to a question,
TM Decimals said that to meet the case of small holden
it was sootemplated to acne quarter shares, so that the
holder of ally two shares would get one quarter sham, and
no ea in prosodic".
At the saggeetwa of several proprietors, the resolution
was amended by being limited to the rimed of the 35th
clause, in which form it was carried with only two dim-
satiate.

The Cuanteae then proosed that the capital of the
company should be iemeued by 250,0004, making a total
aMtal of 1,250,0001.
The motion harts( been amoaded,
Mx. H. S. Waslienoe mid the wen now
asked to increase the capital by 50,00:11. (" No, m-
-250,0004") He repeated that the increase was
450,0001. (Hem, hear.) If capital was to beat all
it should sot be I. the shape of premiums. He objected also
to tie applicatira of 75,0i:31. in raped of tank premiss.What was now prepaid by the hoard me virtually to ram
200,0001. as • reserve food. The effect would be that that
ammo% would be rubbed out and disappear. ("Ne. no.")
He reminded by moving as an amendment that the capital
be increased to an amount sot exceeding 50,G301.
After a skirt comultation with his colleagues the chair
man siopted the amendment instead of his own propuritam,
and it was carried umaimously.

mpital in the manner suggested in the report.
Mr. Wit.La thought the shareholders were entitled to the
planinms, and he moved as an amendment that the new
shares be issued to the proprietors at a premium of 54 per
share, with a new, as he stated, to the addition of 50,0001.
to the reserve fund.
The amendment was secooded, and ma atimated discuadou
was proceeding when our report left.

HUDSON y. Slane AND Oman& —The following'
daisies ham been given by Sir J. T. Ooleridp :
" Whereas by an order of the Lord Meet Justice of
the Overt al

day of July, 1863, it was referred to me to may, upon read.
beg the pleadiep in this came, the letter-book referred to,
and the printed evidence given no the former trial
thereof, what, if anything, should be done between the
partite and that a get processus should be entered. Now,
having mai the pies lingo, letter-book, and evidence, I
hereby say sod determine on the matter so metered to me
as hereafter follows ; but, ommidering the character and
object of this reference, I think it proper to premise that in
my opinion a cause of action was proved, not in every parti-
cular justified, but with so much of extenuation on the one
hand, and of provocation on the other, that a verdict with
nominal damages only would have been proper to be found
by a jury coming to the same conclusion se myself upon the
facts, sod that it would not have been equitable that the
defendants should have borne the plaintiff's mete; that the
order directing the entry of a stet processor has, therefore,
in sulatere brought the action to its proper termination at
law. Bat, mosideling the relative positions of the parties,
and all the circumstaseee, I say and determine that the
plaintiff and now surviving defendants shall within one
month from the date of this award mutually, and at their
joint expense, execute to each other • release of all causes
of action, if any, arisen, or supposed to hare arisen, between
them. OT any of them, on the Bth or Bth of July. 1862, nod
that in the recitsia of the release by the plaintiff shall be
earpremed on his pert a withdrawal of any imputation which
he may have mule of want of honour or gentlemanly feel.

of the days in question, as having been made by him in

end determine that the defoodaste shall immediately on

his attorney the sum of 501. sterling. As wiles's my hand,

ROMAN CATHOLIC limnriwo.—A public meeting
of Roman catholic@ was bold in the Hanover-square
Rooms last ermine, for the pumas of promoting the work
carried on by the SOallif which conducts the collection of
St. Peter'. pence is England. The chair was taken by
the Hon. Charles Langdale, who addressed the meeting in
support of the came in which it bad hem assembled.
Swatches were also made by the Very Rev. (bum Morris. the
Very Rev. Canes O'Neal, Sir Gawp Bowyer. Bart, ILP.,
Mr. Jobs Pope Henneem, Y.P., Lord Fielding, and
other. On the platform were the Very Rev. Dr. Manning
and a large Dumber of the Roman catholic clergy and
leadiog laity of London. Several ..solutions were passed,
calling no the Roman catholic body to aid by all mom in
their power the collection of St. Peter's penes. especially
required io consequence of the heavy lames which bad been
unstained by the Pope during the last few years, by means
of which his ordinary revenue had been much curtailed.

PECULLIMITIEB.—Dr. Berigny com-
municated to the Academy of Sansone • curious instance of
hereditary pal midaetylism in a family, in which thereat-great
grandmother had the third and fourth toes of her right foot
webbed together. She had seven children, four daughters
mid three sons, none of whom presented the same anomaly.
One of these &Lighters, however, gave birth to • girl whose
middle and third fingers of the right hand wan
webbed like her grandmothers' toes; and one el her
sisters bad a boy and • girl having exactly the
same peculiarity. One only of the brothers had a son. his
eldest out of firs. webbed like his cousins. Here, therefore,
the anomaly, which had failed to re-appear in the second
generation, re-appears In the third. In an fourth genera-
tion, the sou, webbed as above described, gets two twin
daughters. one of whom has her toes webbed like those of
her materoal ancestor, and • boy whose right hand is like
his father's. Thus we sae relmictsetylism descending to the
fourth generation, always on the right foot or head, and
always oo the same toes or corresponding lingers.
