In Calcutta, the affairs of the Union Bank still
nem the exclusive object of public attention. They
bed been, however, brought but little nearer to a
settlement The income-enessment scheme bad
so far proved abortive, that it had been found nen:e-
mery to modify it in some very important point,.
The great stumbling-block in the way of it,
sneeses, according to the executive committee,
was the condition precedent to the release of a
contributing shareholder' that the sum of fifteen
lace should be realised before he should be held
exempt from further demands. Accordingly a modi-
fied scheme was drawn up, and adopted by the credi-
tors in meeting assembled, from which this obstroo-
tive condition was omitted. It was, however, resolved
that the scheme so modified should be null and void
unless a dividend of 20 per cent. was paid within two
months from the date of adoption—namely, the Ist
Augast This was the most important matter of bad-
ness which had been transacted, although two meet-
ings of shareholders had been held. These meetings
were devoted almost exclusively to a matter
touching the character of the shareholders,
rather than their property—the misappropriation of
the money belonging to the Commercial Bank at
Bombay. At the first of these Mr. Loogueville
Clarke, to whom bad been deputed the task of
Inquiring into this disgraceful affair, read a very
Ling and elaborate report
_tending to fix the blame
upon Mr. Abbott, the then secretary, Mr. J. R. It.
Campbell, and Mr. J. S. B. Scott, the last being the
broker employed by the UM= Bank in disposing of
the Commercial Bank's bills. The second isesting
was an adjourned one, convened fee the purposeo?
coming to a resolution on this affair and the reports
thereon. Mr. Clarke, who was, from sickness, unable
to attend, sent a letter, wherein he recommended that
Mr. Scott should be prosecuted for hie share in the
business; bet after considerable discussion a propo-
sition to this effect, though carried by a show of
hands, was negatived on a scrutiny. Mr. J. C.
Stewart had published a pamphlet, exonerating him-
self from all blame, and cnminating Mr. W. P. Grant
and other directors for their oonductof the Union Bank.
On the afternoon of the 7th August the shareholders
met to determine whether Mr. Grant should be al-
lowed to leave the country or be put under arrest,
when it was decided that, Mr. Grant having executed
a deed assigning over all his property in liquidation
of the debts (seven lacks, twenty thousand rupees)
which he owes the concern, his departure be per-
mitted. By the death of his father, it J. P. Grant,
Mr. G. has become Laird of Rothiemorches.
The intelligence from Bombay announces the deaths
