MET-ILS.

The following parcels of lead ore were sold at
Abordwith on thel7th inst.: Goginan, 60 tons, at
16/..x. per ton; Lisburne (Frongoch), 80 tons, at
11/.145. per ton ; Cwiitystwyth, 60 tons, at 111. 1 Is. 6d.
per ton; total, 200 tons.
The returns of exports of metals of home produce.
show the total shipments of pig iron to amount to
347,8991., being a decrease of 19.1 per cent. as com-
pared with 1830, and 391 per cent. us compared with
1849. We have already noticed, however, that pig
iron and unwrought tin arc the only arti-
cles which show a decrease. The decrease
on pig iron, too, is fully coveted by the increaso
in the other descriptions, so that the total ex-
ports of iron in its uumanufactured state show
an increase of 5 per tent. on 1830, and nearly 21 per
cent. on 1849. Of wrought iron of all sorts, the ex-
ports of the year have amounted to 1,307,971/., being
8 per cent, more than in 1830, and 231 per cent.
more than ih 1849. Steel is returned at 393,0594
being 181 per cent. more than last year, and 311
per cent. more than in 1849. Of manufactured
copper the exports were 663,379/., being 31 per cent.
more than in 1830, and no less than 82 (xT cent.
more than in 1819. Wrought copper has increased
31 per cent. as compared with last year, and 29 per
cent. us compared with 1848; and brass is more by
61 and 47 per cent. respectively. In lead a very
important and progressive increase is to be noticed.
The "ear's exports were 387,5751. in 1831, against
287,1371. in 1830, and 115,317/. in 1849. The rate of
increase is thus 23 per cent. on 1830, and 70 per cent.
on 1849. Of unwrought tin theexports were 121,8014
showing a decrease of 13 per cent. on last year, and
14 per cent. on 1849 ; but, on the other hand, tin
plates have increased 3) and 74 per eent.on the same
periods. The year's export of this latter article
amounts to no less than 928,1811.

BAIL TVA YS'.
THIS DAY.

Two o'CLocK.

The removal, for a time at least, of the appre-
hensions entertained in many quarters relative
to a change in the Bank rate of interest, has im-
parted an increased feeling of confidence in the
railway share market, and communicated an upward
tendency- to prices. Lancashire and Yorkshires
are 1/. higher, though some alarming reports are in
circulation. Scottish Centrals have risen 1/. 105. in
consequence of a favourable decision by the Court of
Session in the suit curried on by this company
against the North Western, Lancaster and Carlisle,
and Scottish Central railways. Business is not
quite so active as it has been of late, but there
is an evident disposition to resume operations,
and at the moment we write the market
wears a decidedly buoyant aspect. Great Westerns
have risen to 91i; London and South Westerns, to
904; Midlands, to 62i.
At the meeting of the Northern Counties Union
Railway, just closed, the recommendations of the
directors were cordially adopted.

WINDING UP OF JOLT-STOCK COMPANIES.

NORTH OF ENGLAND BANKING COMPANY.—Yes-
terday, before his Honour Master Ferrer, there was a re-
sumption of proceedings ci parte Holme, upon notice from
Messrs. Sharp, Field, and Cu., solicitors to the official
manager, asking the court to put Mr. Ilulme on the list as
liable to contribute his quota towards the losses of the com-
pany up to the time when he sold his shares, which was
within twelve months of the stoppage of the bank. Counsel
on behalf of Mr. Holme sought to establish that the balance
sheets, from time to time rendered by the old directors
to the shareholders, showed that there was nu loss
at the time that the aborts were sold. The rue
for the official manager went to show that these
reports were altogether untrue, and that, in point of
fact, the greater portion of the company's losses, amounting
to several hundred thousand pounds, had been lost at the
time when these reports showed that the company was in a
flourishing condition. After considerable discussion his
honour said he would take time to consider his decision.
In the case of the residuary legatees of John Stratton, the
testator, his Honour has called the attention of the parties
to certain points, before he determines to continue them on
the list, in respect °fall or what number of 700 shares upon
which a call of WI. had been made by the directors, and
which involves a liability of X 5,000/. under the Winding-up
Act ; remarking that he had found no evidence as to the
testator's name having been returned in the list of share-
holders. _

ST. GEORGE'S STEAM-PACKET COMPANT.—Yester-
day, at a meeting before the same Master, some routine
proceedings took place, prior to the preparation of a report
by Mr. Soulby, the official manager of the proceedings con-
nected with the settlement of its affairs, in the course of
which upwards of 80,01161. have been collected by culls, to
pay off liabilities.
GENERAL COMMISSION SHIP LOAN AND INSUR-
ANCE CoStrANY.—Yesterday, Mr. Mutton, the official
manager, having obtained the hooks and papers nects,ary
to proceed with the winding-up of this company, attended
before Sir William Horne, as to the course of proceeding.
and with reference to an order that had been made iu the
abeCnce of Sir W. Home, by Master larrer.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

Yesterday a court was held for the despatch of
a great deal of public business.
After various returns had been laid before the council,

Mr. IL L TAYLOR brought up the report of they
Bridge-house Committee upon the subject of their proceed-
hags in relation to Blackfriars-bridge. It had been referred
to the committee to inquire into the state and condition of
the bridge, and give such directions in respect thereof es
they deem expedient. The centering had been
erected at a cost of 4,0001., and the stone parapet over the
Mils pier was in course of removal. The road had been
reported
Walker aunud w ith Burgift view
and dto ;In; blic
usl7tut,6tiyinly wtembr::
tiered to be perfectly safe. Those gentlemen consider that
by removing the present road and footways, and all super-
incumbent weight, front the top of the present defective
pier, and from the spandril., of the adjoining arches, and
substituting a timber bearing, to be covered with road and
footways of the lightest kind compatible with the traffic,
the further sinking of the pier might possibly be pre-
vented, and at all events the bridge would be rendered suffi-
ciently safe and efficient to afford time to consider and
determine upon the nature and extent of the measures to be
adopted fur the permanent repair thereof. We recommend
the execution of such works, the expense of which Messrs.
Walker and Burgess have estimated at the sum of 1,3001.,
the whole to be completed within the space of four weeks
from the time of commencement, during which period it
will be necessary to stop up the carriage road over the
bridge. This report was agreed to.

TtlE RECENT FIRI At LONDON-BRIDGE.

The Tows eI.F.HIE read the following letter, which
was addressed to the Lord Mayor :
"My dear Lord Mayor,—A calamitous fire has destroyed
our warelems. s, and we cannot account for its origin. We
hare applied to the coroner to hold an inquest to ascertain
the eawa'a of the fire, but he has declined doing so, although
we bare offered to defray the costs. There being a common
council this day, we take the liberty of addressing your
lordship, to use your great influence with the court to
direct the coroner to hold the inquest, the amount of pro-
perty destroyed being so great, and the cause of the fire in-
volved in so much mystery.—With great respect, we are,
your lordship's faithful servants (Signed), Euw. WIGAN
and Co."
Mr. WHITE begged to move that the request of the ap-
plicants be complied with. Ile thought that such a course
was highly desirable, especially as there was so much suspi-
cion attached to the case.
The propositen was seconded, but a member of the court
havnet doubt d the power of the corporation to interfere,
the Lord Mayor requested the opinion of the Recorder as to
the legal ty of such a course.
The Learned Gentleman said that the question was, in
his epiniun, one of grave import and, involving as it did a 1
peculiar point of law, ho be exceedingly sorry to I
mislead the Lord Mayor and court by any hasty direction.
After a long and must tedisuely desultory discussion,
The It eco e DWI Said, in answer to equation, he was exceed-
ingly unwilling, just then, as be had said before, to give his
opinion on the point of law involved in the case, and there-
fore he could say nothing as to the power of the court to
direct tl-e coroner to hold an inquest in that case. Clearly
it was Oe duty of that officer to do so without any regard to
remuneration. Upon the whole, he would advise the court
not to give any. fresh direction.
Eventually, in accordance with this opinion, it was moved
by way of amendment, and carried, that the letter should
" lie on the table."
The Chairman of the Market Committee brought up a re-
port on the government bill for removing Smithfield Mar-
ket, which wu agreed to.

TUE LIBERATION or lionaTH.—A large and in-1
alleluia' meeting of the inhabitants of thtaffordshire
Potteries w.ts held in the Hanley Town-h!!!, I_,tt Tuesday
cres.iug, for the purpose of memorialising Lord Palmerston
".to continue to use his active good aloes on behalf of
lowuth and his fellow captives at Kutayab." The chair
was taken by Francis Wedgwood, Esq., of Etruria, a well-
known manufacturer. Several resolutions expressive of
the sympathy of the meeting with the Hungarians were
pas*.d unanimously, and a memorial to Lord Palmerston
war directed to be drawn up. aad forwarded to J. L. Bi-
9ird°, EN., one of the borough members, for presentation.

WINDING-UP OF JOINT STOCK COMPANIES.

NORTHERN ASD SOUTHERN CONNECTING RAlL-
way.—Yesterday, at a meeting before the Master in Chan-
cery Ilumphry, the list of the provisional committee brought
in by Mr. Ooodchap, the official manager, was proceeded
with. The names of Mr. Samuel Adams, of Ware, and Mr.
John Perring, Strand, on their being examined, were placed
on the list in the character of provisional committeemen
who had signed the deed for 200 shares each and paid the
deposit. Mr. John Castendick, of Lewisham, was also
placed on in a like capacity. Mr. John Booth, of Maccles-
field, in the course of a long examination by Mr. thane,
for the official manager, denied that the signature to all the
accepting shares was in his handwriting. An affidavit to
this effect was also produced, signed by Mr. Booth, and the
signature to which bore such a similarity to the signature
appended to the letter, that the Master adjourned his deci-
sion. The assignees of Messrs. J. Graham and of D. T.
Johnson, two of the members of the managing committee
were placed on the list for 100 shares each.
LIVERPOOL MARINE ASSURANCE COMPANY.—Yes-
terday a meeting in this matter was held before Sir George
Rose, to proceed with the list of shareholders, brought in
by Mr. Hutton, the official manager, for whom Mr. Field,
of the firm of Sharpe, Jackson, and Co., appeared. The
company appears to have been originated in 1532, for effect-
ing assurances on marine policies, and carried on an exten-
sive business, but during the last two or three years of its
existence sustained considerable losses, in consequence of
which call., which were only partially responded to, bad to
be made on the proprietors, thereby involving the concern
in liabilities alleged to amount to 20,0001; the principal
object of the winding up ot the company being to make
those shareholders contribute in liquidation of the debts

who (lid not originally do so. Yeste'rday about 70 of those
who had signed the died were placed on the list as liable,
and it is proposed to make a call of 5/. per share, which,
together with the payment of the sums in default, will, it is
estimated, discharge the liabilities.

LIBERTY OF THE PRESS IN FRANCE.

Liberty of the press has been very much curtailed
in France sitice its emancipation after the revolution of
18 ttl, but we doubt whether the following is not one of the
grossest eases of infringement of the small remnants of
let now extant that has come to our knowledge.
The Pao& de Londres, a journal published in London,
has, it seems, come under the ban of the French authorities,
and in its last number we find the following clear announce-
ment :

" The sale on the public highway (par colportage) of the
Pilots de Londres has just been forbidden at Calais and
Boulogne by the Prefect of the Pas de Calais, in virtue of a
law which does not yet exist. We shall content ourselves
foe the present with Cringing the fact before the public, and
we accordingly publish the followiog letter of our Calais
correspondent, and the complaint we have sent to the pro.
fem on the subject.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE PILOTS DE LONDItEB.
Calais, June 23, 18,11.
Sir,—l regret not to have answered sooner your letter of
the 16th inst.; hut I was endeavouring, before doing so, to
make a last effort with the pnief, who has forbidden the
sale of every species of newspaper, kis reason being, that •
new law is shortly to be presented to the Chamber to pre-
vent the street sale (eolportage) of newspapers, &e.
(Signed) ' LELECI, Libraran at Calais.' "
The protest of the editor of the Pilote follows.
We aced scarcely say that we do not think it will be
attended to.

THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

Mell9l`B. A.

and J. Fairbairn, deputed

from the Cape of Good Hope to further the interests of the
colony on the constitution question, have published • joint let-
ter as to the only point on whkb they eonsider there remaits
anything to be said, namely: " Whether the proposed con-
stitution can he put in action while the war in Caffraria
detains Sir H. Smith beyond the limits of the colony r:
" This difficulty (the writers go on to say) could be obviate('
by the appointment of a commissioner or li, utenant-govt'
nor, as on former emergencies, to assemble the new puha-
ment, that parliament being constituted by act of the impe-
rial parliament, agreeably to the expressed wishes and
opinions of all parties in the colony, including the governor
and all the members of the executive council. For although
there may be serious obstacles in this way, there are much
more serious difficulties and dangers in any attempt to carry
on the local government in any other way. It is manifest
that things must grow worse and worse under the present
anarchical moils of ruling a reluctant people by a despised
legislature of more than doubtful legality. We do
not lay much stress on what may be said of the
conduct of the four unofficial members of the legislative
council who resigned their seats in September last year.
As others had done before us:on many occasions, we ten-
dered our resignations to the governor, as we had a right
to do. The governor accepted theta, and the Queen
also. That the people of the colony approved our act was
made clear in many ways, but conclusively by the fact that
Me competent persons, in the governor's opinion, could be
SEMI to accept the vacant seats. But, right or wrong, our
ttaaa mould not be allowed to usurp the place of more im-
perialist matters. Whatever brought the colony into its
danger may be discussed hereafter. Thu remedy
Ms at peesonte the only thing worth a moment's consider-
wiswiedy can only be supplied by parliament."

MARK-LANE:-THIS DAY.

There was no alteration in the value of English Wheat
this morning ; the few parcels at market were taken slowly
by the millers, at former prices. There was not
much business I°nel:in foreign Wheat ; holders, how-
ever, were not disposed to give way ill price, and
buyers sold off in the expectation of purchasing on easier
terms, should weather continue favourable and supplies
large. Choice qualities of French Flour were fully as dear.
Barley and Beans supported late rates ; and there was a
good inquiry fur feeding l'eas at extreme quotations.
Oats were in better demand, and Monday's:reduced quota-
tions were in some instances rather exceeded.

The foreign Wool market is firm. The manufacturers in
the north and west of England are doing a swiftly business.
The stuck of old Wools is getting very low, and prices at
the German fairs having been well supported, there is every
reason to think that Wool has seen its lowest. The public
sales, which are expected to commence on the 17th July,
will be the largest ever known, as full 60,000 bac+ will be
brought to the hammer.

Hamburg correspondence of the 24th inst, states
that General Legeditsch will be succeeded in the
command of the Austrian troops in Holstein by Geu.
Schott.

It ionnatton had been received at Hamburg of an
extensive conflagration in the Russian city of Arch-
angel. The foreign merchants' quarter was almost
entirely consumed, and severe losses aro entailed
upon the insurance offices of St. Petersburg.
Our Berlin correspondent writes as follows :
BERLIN, JUNE 21.
It is reported by many papers—originally from
the flarrthouri Nachrield—twat the Danish minister, M.
ltcedtz, who tirrived on the 22nd at Kid, has been referred,
both by Prussia and Austria, to the two diets' commis-
sioners, Count Mensdorf and General Thunten, as, on the
renewal and prolongation of their commissions, the sole
representltivrs of G_nnary•, with reference to the settle-
ment of the Schleswig-holstein affairs. This intelligence
is, if true, exceedingly important, as it virtually makes the
Schleswig-Itolstein question a purely German one. M. Itecilts
has had several conferences with the commissioners; he has
remained longer at Kid than was expected, and will not
be hack in Copenhagen till the 25th inst.
The only result as yet distinctly conjectured of M.
Iteedtx's mission will be, it is variously reported, a modify
cation in the Danish cabinet. The demovratic Cassino men
are to retire. Messrs. Madwig and Clausen are to full into
the back-ground ; Mr. Tillisch also, having dune his work,
is to keep out of sight for a while, when the statesmen of
the old school will come forward and take the helm entirely
into their own hands.

BRAZILS.

The Royal Brazilian mail-packet Tay, Capt. Chap-
man, from the Brazils, arrived at Southampton last
night, and landed her mails under charge of Lieut.
John Davie, R.N., Admiralty agent. 11cr dates arc—
Buenos Ayres, Feb. 27; Monte Video, March 2;
Rio, March 1•i; Bahia, March 19; Pernambuco,
March 22 ; Saint Vincent, March 30 ; Tencriffe,
April 4; Madeira, April 6; Lisbon, April 10. She
brings diamonds and irarls, value 8,200/.; and
specie to the value of 2,1910/. ; lx•sides large quanti-
ties of ipecacuanha and cochineal. The Tay brings a
large number of passengers, amongst whom arc some
slave dealers expelled front the Brazils.
Our correspondent at Rio writes as follows :
RIO, M A iu•n 15.

From Rio we have little news to send you by the
Tay. The Fos rnment is doing its utmost to suppress the
slave trade, and our authorities, evidently ronvinced of its
good filth, and satisfied with the efforts it is making, have
wisely salamis' their irritating measures—indeed the ve•
best understanding in supposed to exist between Mr. Hud-
son and the Brazilian Minister. This in no it should he;
the Brazilians themselves are the only people who have Ilse
power to extinguish the traffic entirely, and now that they
have taken the matter in hand, we may look forward con-
fidently to the issue.
The naval foree destined for the River l'late, under the
command of Admiral Grenfell, is now ready for sea. It is
composed of the following vessels:—Frigate: Constitucao.
Corvettes: Bahian°, Unido, and lle•stiore. Barque: Be-
renice. Steamers of War: Minim°, Pedro Legando, Recife,
and Ciolfinho. They mil for the river on the 2llh.
Some dissatisfaction has been expressed by our merchants
here with the arrangements of the R.M.S.P. Company : the
old dincanled West India boats have been put upon the
station, and the arrangements are altogether had,—for
instance, the out mail leaves Southampton three days before
the arrival of the mail from Rio, thereby rendering it
impossible to receive answers to letters, except by the packet
leaving 21 days afterwards; the fart is, such answers will
be received through the medium of the Pernambuco clippers
anti Brazilian roasting steam-v....An, as heretofore. If we
arc to have steam communication at all, it seems to be only'
reasonable that we should enjoy the advantages of a short
course of post which usually attend it.
The yellow fever has made its ap,u•arane•' on board the
vessels m the harbour, but the number of d aths has
never exceeded eight per day, nod ou shore scarcely uuy
easel have as yet been reported.
1 refer you to the enclosed price-current for the state of
our money and other markets. But little business his been
doing since the nailing of the Teviot, and there is a down-
ward tendency in the prices of all our produce.

NEWS FROM TIIE CAPE OF
GOOD HOPE.

We learn by the steamer Thy, which arrived last
night at Southampton, that the I'ropontis, with the
Cape mail, was to leave St. Vincent on the 31st of
March. She has probably reached Plymouth by this
time. Her captain refused to leave any one of the
Cape journals on board the Tay, for fear the latter
should reach England first. It was ascertained, how-
ever. that Sir harry Smith had been successful with
the Kaffir., and had assumed the offensive.

The Captain of the Propontis lent to one of the
officers of the Tay a paper containing the latest offi-
cial news from the sent of war. As soon as he had
read it, it was demanded of him again. Our South-
ampton correspondent says :—" 1 have just seen that
officer. who states that information was sent that a
Cape village was about to be attacked by a noted
Kaffir chief, whose name he forgets. and that the
Katfir,4 were routed with tremendous slaughter, and
the chief killed. The success of the British troops
was so signal and important that there appeared an
impression at the Cape that the war had virtually
terminated, or, at any rate, that it could not continue
much longer. This information was printed in a
journal expressly to be sent home by the Propontis."
In reference to the " village" here referred to, it may
be observed, that when the advices last received left
the Cape, it was expected that Fort Beaufort would
be attacked. It may be that this was the attack
stated to have been so snceessfally repulsed.
London, England, 1851-04-15

REVOLUTION IN PORTUGAL.

From Lisbon, we learn by the Tay, that a revolu-
tion had broken out in Portugal, headed by Sal-
danha, who was in command of about five thousand
troops. The government troops were in pursuit of
him. The Bntish squadron, which was about to
sail, had been detained, at the urgent request of the
Portuguese government. The revolution had arisen
for the purpose of putting down the government
of Cabral.

Our correspondent writes as follows:
LISBON, Aram 9.

The revolt has taken place. Saldanha went to
Mafra, where the regiment there stationed immediately
joined him, the troops at St. Übes making a corresponding
movement, and placing themselves in march for Santarem,
with the accession of the troops from Leiria. Clovernment
are at their wits-end, the Queen obstinately persisting in
supporting the Count de Thomar come what may. The
municipal guard, it is supposed, can relied on, but it is
determined to send troops to Santarem to encounter the
revolters, and the King is to try his hand in the strife, as it
is said he is to command the Queen's army. Bank notes
are already 7) per cent. discount, with something like a panic
attached to everything. There seems as deep-rooted a feel-
ing against the Queen as against the Count de Thomar,
and I feel persuaded that if the Qu_en remains tsventy-four
hours in her obstinate humour the revolters will acc..pt of
uo terms which arc not accompanied by her abdication.

Another letter of the 9th says :
It is said that the 4th cavalry at Santarem refused to join
Saldauha, and were marching to Lisbon. It is also reported
that the 11th infantry at Etrenos and the sth cavalry at
Elora, had revolted, and were marching to join Saldanha
at Santarem, but nothing certain is known. After a cabinet
counsel had been convoked, the council of state was assem-
bled. The chambers have been prorogued till the 2nd of
June. Two corps of infantry, with one of Cacadores, em-
barked in steamers to land at Villa Nova, to march upon

Santarem. The king mnsort, with all his staff, as well a,
the Duke de Terceira, left at the saute time; and a corps of
horse artillery took the road to Santarem. It is impossible
to say how the affair will end, but great hopes are enter-
tained that the influence of tho king-comort will bring it
to an end without bloodshed.

It is extraordinary that the people witness all these move-
ments of troops with a total apathy, only lamenting the
mi,fortunes brought upon the country. It is supposed the
guarantees will be immediately suspended. The friends of
Sahlanha,knowing his rharteter,seent not to sympathise with
the movement, remembering how a similar one ended in
1837.

_
Many reports arc afloat respecting the troops at Oporto,
but nothing positive is know.

point of quitting for Rome.

MADRID, JUNE 12.
In the sitting of the chamber to-day, M. Mayans,
the ministerial candidate, was appointed president
by 141 votes out of 173. Ohmage obtained 23. The
vice-presidents elected were Candido Nocedal, San-
tiago Tejada, Alexandre Castro, and Canga Ar-
guelles, all ministerial.
The ministry intends to present the budget, and
the bill for the settlement of the debt. The chamber
will appoint the committees; and the Cortes will
then adjourn till October; on the 10th of which
month, the Queen's birthday, they will be re-opened.
As it will take a month to get through the present
business, the day on which the decree proroguing the
chambers will be read is expected to coincide with
the 10th of July, on which day the Queen's preg-
nancy is, barring accidents, to be officially pro
claimed.
Hence all important questions are adjourned till
next winter.

FRANCE.
PARIS, Tessosv EVENING.
The ground upon which M. Lemulier supposed
himself alluded to in the rough notes of M. earlier
was, it appears, his having solicited and obtained
from the government the place of director of the
Got*line for his friend M. Lacordaire. He lodges in
the house which is assigned to the director. Hence
be has incurred the suspicion of sharing the profits.
M. Lacordaire is the brother of the famous preacher
of that name.
M. Lemulier was expected to-day to hand in the
resignation of his seat in the Assembly ; but up to
the present hour he has not taken this step.
This is not the only case in which the character of
a representative has been recently called in question.
M. Colfavrn, a talented member of the Mountain,
has been impeached in a meeting of the Left, not
only of general misconduct and neglect of his duty
as a representative, but he is suspected of betraying
to the police information of the secret movements of his
party . He was defended by his colleagues of the extreme
Left with more zeal than success, and will have to
'clear himself before a jury of honour. The origin of
I the reprimand was the negligence of this democratic
member, and his absence in the bureaux uponoces-
sions wherein his vote would have told orisetrir;

OXFORD, JUNiii.LirTi,corivocaiion held to-day
the several alterations proposed in the Stat. Tit. IV., on
the Public Readerships, were submitted to the vote of
house. The proposition to increase the stipends of some of
the profemors of the new School of Natural History was
carried. The propositions to augment the stipends of the
Readers in Mineralogy and Geology, and that of the Pro-
femur of Chemistry, were lost. It was decided to augment
the stipend of the Reader in Experimental Philosophy
1701. per annum, end that of Dr. White, Pro-
femur of Moral Philosophy, by 1601. The pro-
posed augmentation of the Camden Professor of His-
tory's stipend was lost on a division. It was resolved to
transfer the funds from the press account to the general
account of the university, end to pay the augmentations
of the professors from the interest of stock in the Three
per Cent. Consols Reduced. The proposition to transfer
the sum of 30,0001., from the press account towards a fund
for defraying the expense of erecting a new university
museum, and additional lecture and examination rooms,
was lost. The convocation was attended by nearly the
whole of the heads of houses, several professors and doctors,
and by a large number of the resident Masters of Art. Dr.
Posey, ia a Lelia speech of some length, opposed the statute.
