A DISAPPOINTMENT IN THE HOUSE OP LORDS.
—There are those in this vulgar, sublunary sphere, who
basely cars • peat deal more for any bit of gossip touching
• person of the least consideration than they do for sun,
moon, and stars, comets, satellites, nebulas, systems, and
everything is the heavens. These narrow-minded people
yesterday expected not exactly an eclipse, but at least the
vecticle of a splendid luminary struggling with malign in-
fluence and diasstrotis shade, in the person of the Marquis
of Clanricarde in the House of Lords. He had under-
taken to call the attention of the Lords to cer-
tain weeps of his life that had been subject, as
he said, to gross misrepresentation, even to the
extent of disqualifying him for a place in her
Majesty's service. The notice was on the paper as exact, es
sharp, and as defined as the other notice in the almanac.
Accordingly, a considerable number of lords and ladies
assembled at the pests assigned to them in the House of
Lords, prepared to hear • good deal that threatened to be
far from agreeable to modest ears, such being the nature of
the charges brought against the marquis. When all were
assembled, however, and politicians and scandal of
all ages and both sexes were expecting to see, not
nor waves of light, nor Baily's beads, but under what
peculiar circumstances a noble marquis had exposed himself
to base insinuations, behold ! the marquis himself, like the
son in the morning, would not come our. He would not be
eclipsed; he would not shine at ell; he would not
tome out, and go in, or anyhow dance attendance
on a crowd of sight seers. So rising up before the
house was quite filled, Lord Clanricarde stated, in a low
conversational tone, that be had been better advised on the
natter, tad had determined not to obtrude his private affairs
cm the notice of the House of Lords. Not a word more was
said, somebody rose and presented a petition, and there ended
the matter, and there it probably will sad. Lord Claud-
crude is content to be silent, and, as he is no longer • mi-
nister' others will be equally indifferent to the eccentricities
of hisllordsh,p's earlier career. There Is no place where •
man need so little dread • morbid curiosity about his "ante-
' oedents" as England. It rests, indeed, with everybody to
bring these matters to the surface, or let them lie at the
bottom of the heap, just as ha pleases. Lord Clanrioarde
most unaccountably had made the former choice, when his
friends interposed, and the result is he hes resolved to leave
the matter IdOWL—Tismes.

" THEY'RE ALL OrT,"—At the time when the
unfortunate ministry known as "All the Talents" wee
ousted in 1307, there stood upon the Earthen Mound, in
Edinburgh, many caravans of wild beasts, belonging to the
famous Mr. Wombwell, around which there clustered a large
crowd of idle folks, listening to the dulcet strains of his most
harmonious brass band. The news of the tory victory was
first made known in the Parliament House, and, as can well
be believed, the excitement that ensued was intense. Under
Its influence, that eager and eccentlic judge, Lord Hermand,
making for his home' espied a friend among the Wombwell
crowd, and shouted aloud in his glee across the street—
" They'.* out! they out! They're all out!" In half •
second there was the wildest distribution of the mob—down
to Prince's-street, up the Castle-hill, into the gardens, and
up the venue!.. The people, picturing the honors of a tiger
ohms, did not stop to hear more, and Hermand found him-
'elf, to his amazement, monarch of all he surveyed, and sole
auditor of the lag terrified shriek of the band.—/Mernear
Courier.

_
Bunn FIRES.—With the return of each games-
sire summer the recurrence of bash Brae exposes the agri-
cultural and pastoral interests of this colony to the very
serious risks and lows. Nor is there any reason to hope
that as population advances this occasion of lose will disap-
pear. Eventually, and at some remote period, bush fires
may indeed cease to break out, but this period must name-
madly be distant many year, and in the interval we fear
that the risk of bush tins will inatese with the increase of
population. In fact, we believe that there will be bush fires
in South Australia so long as any .• bush" remains unto-
claimed, and the risk of conflagratha will of course increase
with the increasing number of peruooa by whom the bush is
traversed. The matter, therefore, sesames a very serious
aspect, especially when we consider that agricultural stock,
Implements, crop, and the flocks and herds of the squatters
ere being every year more freely distributed over the hitherto
untrodden waste, or as they are year by year skirting more
closely Its boundaries. The increase of population and the
Mamas of property imply alike augmented danger and aug-
mented destruction of property on each ocaution of fire.
Where formerly but scrub and Umber fell victim to the
devouring element, now flocks, crops, homesteads, and
gardens are consumed. Unless, therefore, some special
means be devised to meet the exigency, we must expect bush
dreg to be more frequent and more calamitous every year.—
..IMo irk Warner, Jan. 9.
PURCHASING LAND FROM THE MAORIES.—The
circumstances of the purchase by the government front the
natives of a block of land to the northward of upwards of a
million of acres in extent, in February loot, for the sum of
2001., is, no doubt, well recollected by our reams, who will
remember, further, that the Maeda' requested the eceamie-
/loner, Mr. Hamilton to recommend a further paymentby
the government—the first demand laving bees 6001. flb
recommendation was made, and has been attended to, end
the general government has authorised a further mount of
3001, comp!sting the total of purchase money to the tea/1y
moderate amount demanded by the Mile. Of this sum 2001.
war actually paid last week to Mr. Hamilton, at Hedapoi,
end the balance will remain over till it be ascertained sr.
titer any further purchases are regained% the neighbourhood
of the Raikoras, or from the Amhara (west coast) natives.—
Lgttritme Timer, New Zealand.

improvement of sc. The settlement in shares is in
progress on the Bourse.

At the Bank yesterday there were neither with-
drawals nor purchases of bullion.
In the discount market the rate for first class bills
remains at 21 to 21 per cent., with a moderate de-
mand. At the Bank the applications yesterday were
upon a quiet scale.
The specie arrivals announced represent the im-
portant total of 489,0001. The Black wall has
arrived in the Downs from Melbourne, with 68,080
ounces of gold, worth 272,3001. The Teviot has
reached Southampton from Alexandria, with
192,3791. in Australian gold. The Africa, from
New York, has brought 16,6601. ' • the Ripon, from
Alexandria, 4,728/. ; and the Alhambra, from the
Peninsula, 2,670!.

The remittances by the Blackwell and Teviot are
expected to come to hand in a day or two, and,
according to present appearances, a portion will be
sent into the Bank.
The Australian gold actually known to be still at
sea is valued at about 638,0001. The Bent has been
87 days out, with 192,8601. ; the Vimeira 86 days,
with 20,0001.; the ShaftesburyBodays, with 32.7301.;
the Morning Light 75 days, with 69,3001.; the Co-
penhagen 72 days, with 191,1601. ; the Anglesey 62
days, with 27,2401. ; and the Istanbonl 61 days, with
4,8001.

The Mexican dollars brought by the steamer
Parana were sold yesterday at 6s. per oz., being the
same price as that realised for the previous arrival.
The dividend of the Orleans Railway Company
has been officially announced at the rate of 601. per
share, making, with the sum already paid as
interest, a total distribution of 90f. for the year 1867.
That for the previous year was 84f.
The aggregate decrease in the traffic of the Lyons
and Mediterranean Railway Company amounts to
nearly 80,0001. since the commencement of the
current half year.
The weekly traffic return of the Great Western
Railway of Canada, just received, presents a decrease
of 2,6111.

The Brighton Railway traffic return shows a de-
crease of 1,4411.

Rumours have lately been current of a probable
resumption of the negotiations for leasing the Great
Luxembourg to the Eastern of France Railway
Company.
The third and final instalment of 61. is to be paid
on the 201. Obligations (issued by virtue of the re-
solution of the 24th Sept. lest) of the Great Luxem-
bourg Company on the Ist April.
The Bank of Australasia announce a half-yearly
dividend and bonus amounting together to 41. per
share, being at the rate of 20 per cent. per annum.
Messrs. N. M. Rothwbild and Sons and Messrs.
Alex. Fletcher and Co. advertise the dividends fall-
ing due at the end of the present month on the
Brazilian loans.

The directors of the Unity Bank have, apparently,
no idea whatever of acting upon the advice gene-
rally tendered to them, and winding up. Accom-
panying the annexed circular, the shareholders
have received notice of a call of 101. per
share. It remains to be seen whether eo
simple an operation u that of raising the
amount paid per 1001. share from 601. to 601.,
will suffice to attract fresh deposits and current ac-
counts, and to establish that feeling of confidence
without which a bank cannot possibly arrive at a
successful result. To resuscitate a damaged bank,
we apprehend, is about the hardest of all possible
tasks ; but the shareholders, who deliberately pledged
their individual and unlimited liability, have of
coarse no choice but to pay the call now made :
URlty Joint-Stook Bank,

Chief Office, 10,Vuecon-street, Lilon, E.O
16th March, 1868.
. . . .

Sir, —The directors of this bank have done me the honour
of confiding its management to my care. I hope, by steadily
conducting its business upon the same principle' as those
of the other London joint-mock banks, to be abie, with the
confidence and support of the directors and ehareholders, to
produce the like results. It is, however, necessary, Met the
paid•np capital of the bank should be proportionate to its
position am a London bank, and I have not hesitated to re-
commend to the directors to increase that paid-up capital to
200,0001., in which recommendation the directors have con-
curred. Yon have aooordmgly herewith a notice of a call, made
In conformity with the bank charter. Several of the most in-
fiuential shareholders have signified their assent to, and
►pproval of, this measure. On the part of the directors and
management, I therefore venture to express a hope that the
bank may rely with oonfidenoe on your giving it your entire
support, as it is a measure which, I trust, will
Mamas the value of your shares, and enable the bank to
take advantage of the present improved state of commercial
affairs.—l have the honour to be, sir, your most obedient
esmant,
(Signed) JOSEPH W. TERRY, General Manager.

Some weeks ago we made a few remarks upon a
cue happily almost without parallel in the annals of
the Stock Exchange. A member, of old and re-
spectable standing, named Edward Ridge, after
entering into speculative transactions upon so vut a
scale u to create quite a ferm.nt in the establish-
ment, failed to meet his engagement,. The rules of
the Stock Exchange providing for cues of default,
whether arising from misfortune or recklessness,
are by no means harsh ; but when the official in-
vestigation into Mr. Ridge's affairs was about to be
yrooeededwas with, it found that this person re-
fused to meet his liabilities, or even to render up his
books. The transactions referred to being " time

bargains," are not recognised in a oourt of
law, and the numerous victims in the Stock Ex-
change have therefore no redress. The commit-
tee, consequently, have had recourse to the
only measure of punishment in their power : Mr.
Ridge's name was this day publicly affixed on the
" Black Board" appropriated to disgraced members.
The Committee have also affixed to his name the
following special mark of reprobation :

EDWIOILD itrint, or FINCHLiT.—The name of Edward
Map is thee separately exhibited to perpetuate the infamy
of his conduct in having entered into en immense and reek-
ing speculation, and rdniing, although in pseeseion of con-
siderable fonds, to pay any portion of the differences due to
his creditors or to surrender his books for investigetirn. The
eirenmstances attending his failure and the fahoods by
which he attempted to extenuate it have, moreover, been of
so peculiarly diegreoeful a character that the Committee feel
It their duty to state to the maulers of the Stock Exchange
their deep regret that their power of punishment Is limited to
the manna resorted to. _

A meeting was held yesterday of the creditors of
Messrs. Charles Walton and Sons, ship brokers, who
stopped payment on the 18th of January. A ba-
lance-sheet, comprising the separate estates of
Messrs. Charles Walton and Sons, Mr. Charles Wal-
ton, and Mr. William Walton, was presented by
Mr. J. E. Coleman, the accountant, which states the
total liabilities at 40,8471., and the assets at 16.3191.
Of the latter, however, only 7,8981 is considered
pod, the executors of the late Mr. C. Walton
having no funds wherewith to meet • claim of
8,4201. made on behalf of the joint estate. In April,
1856, when Mr. C. Walton, sen., died, his estate

was stand to be oorth about 60,0001., but recent
investigations lead to the belief that its value was
greatly exaggerated. On underwriting aocourvn
the estate ofllr. Charles Walton is liable for risks
to the extent of about 400,0001., but not more than
10,000 i. is expected to be charged against the estate.
An arrangement, however, has been come to by
which certain underwriters at Lloyd's take into
their own hands the entire risk. The pro-
posal made by the solicitor was that the
estate should be sound ap under inspection, or that
the creditors should accept a composition of 3s. 6d.
in the pound. Some discussion arose with refereeee
to the sale, in December last, of the Sarah Sande
steamer, and two or three creditors argued that it
would be advissUe to adjourn the meeting for a
