It will be seen from the annexed extract from a re-
port issued by the committee of the defence associa-
tion of shareholders in Overend, Gurney, and Co.,
that Vice-Chancellor Matins' judgment will be
immediately appealed against. This report (pub-
lished by Messrs. Standidge and Co., of the Old
Jewry) is very ably drawn up, and resents very
forcibly the dissentient shareholders view of the
matter. There is also an appendix containing
much interesting and fresh information with regard
to what may be justly termed one of the most
flagrant commercial scandals of the age. The com-
mittee say :

Along with this report, most probably by the same mail,
you will learn fmm the newspapers the matured opinion
of Vice-Chancellor Matins. Whatever it may be—whether
wholly for you or wholly against you, or partly in either
direction—it certainly will not be final. You must be pm-
pared fur appearing in a higher court, either as appellants
or as respondents, and possibly both as respondents and
as appellants. If you are still disposed to continue your
confidence in us, we shall gladly devote our best exertions
to the conducting of • fresh campaign ; and if you can
select other representatives in our room, we shall cheer-
fully render them all the aid in our power. With an
innate belief, therefore, in the rectitude and soundness of
your views, go on and pmeper—never forgetting for an
instant, that to give way before anything leas than the
immediate gripe of irresistible coercion would be virtually
to accept participation iu the very enormities alike of
liquidation and of business against which you revolt.
The half-yearly meeting of the South Eastern

It is notified that the coupons now due upon the

At the public sale of the London Stock and
Share Company (Limited) to-morrow, the number
of lots to be offered, mostly without reserve, is 221.
The subjoined is from Messrs. Windeler and
Bowes' wool circular for the Bombay Mail, dated
the Bth inst. :
- - • • •

The Liverpool public sales of East Lelia wool closed to-
day with animation at an average advance of Id. per lb.
on the opening rates of this series, end an avenue advance
of Ad. per lb. on the close of November mien. Prices have
been very irregular, end occasionally variations of more
than 2d. per lb. have occurred, but the tendency, as the
sales progressed. has been decidedly towards improvement,
though no good reason can be given for this confidence.
The better classes of Jeri* are an exception to the rule,
and may be quoted Id. per lb. below November, owing to
the relative cheapness of English wool. The quantity
offered has exceeded what was originally intended, owing
to second-hand wool being included, and to the re-offering
of withdrawn lots: the quantity for May sales will, there-
fore, he reduced to about 12,000 bales. At the sales just
over 24,229 bales have been offered, and ?2,315 hales sold.
The monthly tea circular of Messrs. Richard
Gibbs and Co., dotted the Bth inst., contains the
following :
The arrivals and departures since our last are as follow :
Arrivals. At London : Kelso,,Lansdowne, Polmaise, John
Paul, Northfieet, Knight of Snowdon, Margaret l'ainpbell,
General Caulfield, Beautiful Star, Marquis of Argyle,
John Bull, Solent. Melly, Louisa, Dunmail, Janet )4it-
ehell, and Victoria. At Liverpool : Veronica. Mew. I
tures from London.—Vigil, and Star of China, for Shan. I
ghai ; and Anazi, for Kanagawa. Since our last suivices,
of the 3ith ultimo, the numerous arrivals of all descrip-
tions of tea have severely tested the improvement esta-
blished on this market since the commencement of the
year. Although but little pressure has been evinced on
the pert of importers, the very full supply of nearly all
descriptions has tended, for the time, to check the activity
hitherto prevailing. Prices are nominally unchanged, and,
in fact, for all common grades of Congou, may be quoted
somewhat firmer. The chief inquiry has been for Cungous
of new impart, ranging from Is. 2d. to ls. 3d., of which
descriptions the market has been leas abundantly supplied.
In good medium to fine business has been quieter,
new arrivals offering a large selectien. Finest classes
maintain their value though taken in but small quantities.
Scented teas for all Canton descriptions are in demand,
capers are readily saleable, and finest qualities of Pekoe
have been realised at full rates. Foochow teas, on the
contrary, are difficult of sale at previous quutations.
Green teas are inquired for, for all fine descriptions, but in
the common classes, of which the stock chiefly consists,
there is but little doing, prices showing a reduction. The
series of public sales for the fortnight commenced on the
sth current, comprising 16,200 packages, of which 11,400
were offered ••without reserve"; these pissed off with
fair spirit, all common descriptions of enta,-ou meeting
with full support. The Bank-rate was reduced on the ith
current from 34 to 3 per cent. The stock of Ma in the
IJuited Kingdom we estimate at 93,000,0001ba., against
69,000,0001 M. ; and the quantity afloat (including the
arrivals not yet taken into stook) at 35,000,000165., against
43,500,0001 M. at the corresponding period last year.
