OYEREND, GURNEY, AND CO. (LIMITED.)
The following report bas been Maned by the
liquidators to the shareholders and creditors of
Overend, Gurney, and Co. (Limited)
Although the period suggested in our report of the 6th
of dune last has not arrived, when the whole of the
bills discounted having matured, the liabilities of the
company could be definitely stated, yet those liabilities
have been so greatly reduced, and the amount of bills re-
discounted now current is comparatively so small, that a
somewhat reliable opinion may be expressed as to the
amount of the claims igainst the company, which will
have to be provided for, and we therefore anticipate the
date of our second report. We consider it right also that
shareholders and creditors should be made acquainted with
the pound upon which the call of 101. per share,
now proposed to be made, is based. With this object
we proceed to give the estimates we have formed of the
amount of indebtedness of the company, in respect of
which a first dividend will have to be provided, and of the
amount of assets of the company, which may be realised
in aid of such dividend.

The official returns published yesterday show
that on Thursday the deaths in London from cholera
were 64, and from diarrhota, 40. This is an increase of
three cholera and eight diarrhoea cases over those of Wed-
needs,. At the same time the number of cholera cotes is
13 leas than on Tuesday, while the diarrheas cases show an
excess of 22 over those of that day.
The following are the official returns of deaths on
Thursday :

Total in London

Last evening the Cholera Relief Fund, now being raised
at the Manaion-house, amounted to upwards of 11.0001.,
of which more than 600/. was paid in during yesterday.
From a return rendered to the Lord Mayor by Mr. W. J.
Nixon, the house governor and secretary of the London
Hospital, it appears that up to half-pant 4 on Wednesday
last the total admissions to the cholera wards there from
the first outbreak of the disease had been 530, the raves-
ries 189, and the deaths 250 ; and that 111 remained In
the hospital that day. Of the 250 deaths, 238 had arisen
from cholera, and 12 from choleraic diarrhora. Of the 111
patients which remained, 83 were afflicted with cholera,
and 28 with choleraic diarrhoea. The usual applications
were received and grants made. A signal and spontaneous
instance of generosity on this oeeasion bee been afforded
by the members of the Commercial Sale Rooms, Mincing-
lane, who have subscribed among themselves to the Man-
sion-house Relief Fund considerably more than 900/.
At a meeting of the vestry of fit. James, Westminster,
held yesterday in the Vestry-hall, Piccadilly, Mr. Church-
warden Burt in the chair, Dr. Lankester, medical officer of
health, reported that there had been five deaths from
cholera and one from diarrhea in the parish, and every
precaution which the government or pariah officers could
suggest was taken to prevent the spread of the disease
amongst the inhabitants.
The Wolverhampton Race Committee have unanimously
decided to give the free use of the grand stand and the
booths on the racecourse for the reception of cholera
patients, if necessary.
On the question of the comparative immunity of
the Jews from cholera some important facie are gathered
from the official returns of the Jewish board for the relief
of the poor of that religion. It appears that up to the
last sitting of the board (August 11) twenty undoubted
oases of cholera had come under their supervision, and
had been treated by their medical officer, Mr. byte, of
Houndsditch. Of these twenty cases, ten had terminated
fatally, four were still under medical treatment, three
were perfectly convalescent, while the remaining three
were in the London Hospital. In addition to these
instances of unmistakeable cholera, there have been a
considerable number of aggravated caries of diarrhoea.
From July 29 to August 11 no leas than 901
cane bad received the assistance of the board,
and four of these had terminated fatally. In his report to
the guardians the surgeon has been very careful only to
note as cholera MUM those which came strictly under that
designation. The persons principally affected by the pesti-
lence have been those belonging to the very poor of foreign
Jews ; indeed, scarcely a single case has been noted among
the middle and upper classes of the community. The
sufferers, as might have been expected, have been chiefly
confined to the neighbourhood of Whitechapel and Bpital-
fields. The quadrangle formed by the four streets, Tenter-
street, Dorset-street, Shepheril.street, and Tilley-street,
forming with their subsidiary purlieus what is known as
the Tenter-ground, is chiefly inhabited by Dutch, Polish,
and German Jews, whose habits, unlike those of their Rug-
lish brethren, correspond pretty much to those which pre-
vail among the Christian 'Last-enders.

Creditors unsecured.—The amount due to unsecured
creditors has been reduced by sets-off to 3,728,4941. No
addition has been made for interne since the 10th May,
the direction of the Viee-Chaneeilor as to the rate to be
allowed not having yet beet obtained. Creditors holding
security.—The securities held by creditors amounted to
6,285,6621., the claims thereon to 6,018,835/., leaving an
apparent surplus of 2G6,8171. By realisations and by the
payment of bills at maturity the claims have been reduced
to 1,946,6551., and there are bills still current to the
Lee, No amountof 1,815,3281. The unpaid billsjamount to 398,154/.,
and we think this sum will be increased by about 90,0001.

reduced. We anticipate that the holden of unpaid

n allow bly in the first instance claim to rank for dividend'.
Liability on bills re-discounted.—On the 10th of May the
amount of bills current re-discounted was 8,266,048/. • and
n, Tess from the very exceptional state of commercial affairs
existing at the period of our former report, we felt our-
gat Am selves unable to make any reliable estimate at the lase
i agm i which the company might sustain from this liability. We
sovs., have now the satisfaction of stating that to the 14th. inst.
or all' bills to the amount of 7,030,625/. have been duly paid. The
amount of the bills still current at the same date was only
188,626/. The bills unpaid, and in respect of which tbe

I. Nub amounts to 1,038,4381., and this sum will probably

of 50 portion of the bills still current. So soon as the claims in
ht tin respect of such unpaid bills have been satisfied by divi-
dends from this company, and by payments by other par-
ties, these bills, on which we do not expect that much ulti-
mate loss will arise, will also revert to the company as
at alit assets to the extent of the amounts unpaid by those who
SSG 1 ' are primarily liable thereon. The total amount of the
-- realms against the company by creditors who may be en-
NCH titled to participate in the first dividend we estimate at
Mt H 5,228,0001., or thereabouts, viz. :—By unsecured creditors,
