ROYAL BARR OF AUSTRALlA.—Yesterday there Waft
a large attendance of persons concerned in the wuiding-up of
this company, before Muter Richards, when the settlement
of the supplemental list of contributories was proceeded with.
Mr. George Webster, one of the writers to the signet in
Scotland, objected to have his nesse placed on the list for 600
shares. On the other side Mr. Daniel, eounsel for the official
manager, contended that it should be retained. The muter
adjourned the cue. In proceeding through the supple-
mental list, objections, chiefly technical, were taken in almost
every case, so that at the end of a sitting of more than two
hones, very few matters, and those unopposed, were disposed
of, and to most of the names were appended the words
" taffy ") and " adjourned."
HULL RAGGED AND INDUSTRIAL SCROOLS.—The
second annual meeting of the supporters of these schools was
held on Tuesday evening, at the saloon of the Mechanic'
lasti-
tute. About 600 persons were present, and the mayor presided.
Immediately underneath the platform were nearly 70 boys
and girls, clad in neat though humble attire, and whose
orderly demeanour did great credit to their master and
mistress, as also to the benevolent system under which they
bad been educated, fed, and clothed. Resolutions were
adopted pledging the meeting to support the schools, and
thanking the managing committee of the past year for their
exertions. A collection having been made, a vote of thanks
was passed to the chairman and the proceedings terminated.
