NORTEK OF ENGLAND JOINT STOCK BASKING
COMPANY.—The official managers of this bank, which
tailed with liabilities amounting to 1,864,846/., have just
made a lengthy report to the Court of Chancery and the
shareholders on the progress that has been made in wind-
ing-u,t its affairs under the Joint Stock Companies act of
parliament, by which it appears that culls of 30/. per share
and of 201. per share have been made, to discharge the lia-
bilities, but that there remain, exclusive of accruing inter-
est and legal and other expenses not yet ascertained, and of
20,91.41. current bills in circulation, 70,1901. liabilities to be
met. Of this sum, 21,6631. is due to shareholders for ad-
vances made by them beyond the amount of their calls,
leaving 4M,2,/. due to third parties. This sum, say
the official managers, should have been, according to
the arrangements made with the creditors, paid in
August, 18.50, the latest extension of credit conceded by the
large banking companies and more indulgent creditors, hut
another cull of 1-IL per share, calculated to produce 35,0001.,
was now necessary to meet outstanding engagements ; and
this, with 13,3591. from realisation of assets during the next
12 months, would give 48,3591., sufficient to pay eff liabili-
I ties to third parties. The total assets of the company were
Ito be valued at 49,3011., of which 32,0001. consist of securi-
tics over colliery property now in a depressed state. The
official managers, in concluding their report, state that the
total amount received from the 301. call up to the 30th Sept.
last was 239,952/. ; and from the 20/. cull, 100,350/. The
original nominal capital of the hank was 2,000,0001., but the
capital absolutely paid up only 350,0001.
ANOTHER DESPERATE AFFRAY WITR POAPRERS.
--NornSuRAM, MONDAY:A terrible encounter took
place this morning, about one o'clock, between the game-
keepers of 3lajor-General Sir Arthur Clifton, of Barton
Lodge, six miles from this town, and a large party of
poachers (numbering it is supposed at least 40). The
keepers were completely overpowered, the poachers leaving
them in a dreadfully mutilated state. The poachers beat at
hasty retreat, no doubt thinking that the noise of tke affray
might alarm the villagers. Several of them were, however,
so disabled, that they were obliged to be carried out of the
field. Early this morning two messengers arrived on
horseback from Barton Lodge, at the county police station
here, to give information, since which every outlet near the
affray has beeu guarded, but none of the poachers have yet
been captured.

TILE LYONS AND AVIGNON RAILWAY.—The COCO-
milee acting fur the claimants upon the Lyons and Avignon
and Bortlec us and Cette caution moneys (the ancient com-
panies) are organising measures for the protection of their
interests as affected by the competition for a new concession
of the Lyons and Avignon Railway, just announced in ac-
cordance with the last act of the late Legislative Assembly
of France. A public meeting is to be held at the London
Tavern to-marrow in furtherance of the objects in view.

GAROTTE ROBBERIES AT LEEDS.—Many of these
robberies have been committed in Leeds, Manchester, and
other towns, but as yet very few offenders have been
caught. It has been remarked by the Leeds police, that
when these robberies have occurred at Leeds, they have
ceased at Manchester; and when they have been discon-
tinued at the latter place they have been resumed iu the
former. This fact would lead us to suppose that these rob-
beries are committed by one set of itinerant thieves who
travel about from place to place. A renewal of these rob-
beries has just taken place in Leeds, and this time the
police have pounced upon three men, whom it is
hoped will turn out to be a part of the gang
who have done so much mischief. Last Frid
night, about II o'clock, Mr. James Mann, a beerbouse-
keeper, was attacked by three men, one of whom suddenly
seized him by the neck, which he squeezed so severely as to
cause a flow of blood from his mouth, and for a moment to
render him insensible. Mr. Mann was then thrown upon
the ground, and robbed of 3s. or 4s. in silver. Millgarth-
street is nearly in the centre of the town, and is u very
public street, along which the police almost constantly pe-
rambulate. As soon as Mr. Mann could speak, he called
out " Murder," and police officer Kay came to his as-
sistance just as the three men were running away.
In the course of Saturday, three men were ap-
prehended on suspicion of having committed this robbery.
They gave their names as John Hill, George Williams, and
John Cherry New, but these names are supposed to be
fictitious. Kay, the police officer, states that he saw the
three prisoners near the place where Mr. Mann was robbed
only a few minutes before he was attacked, and he believes
they are the same as he saw running away. Mr. Mann
says he believes the prisoner Williams is one of the three
men who attacked him, and the trow,.ers of Hill when he
was taken were found to he torn on one knee, and dirty, as
if done in a struggle on the ground. They were yesterday
examined by the Leeds justices, and after a full investiga-
tion, they were all committed fur trial at the present York-
shire amazes.
