(THIS DAY.)

CHANCERY CHAMBERS.
(Before Mr. Buckley, Chief Clerk.)
THE GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY coupsztv.
This ease, in which it will be recollected a receiver has
been appointed by the Court of Chancery, came before the
chief clerk on a matter of some importance to the several
parties connected with the company as shareholders and
creditor,.. A suit had been instituted in the court of Vice-
Chancellor Stuart " Wilkinson e. the Great Eastern Rail-
way," on the part of the preference shareholders; and an
application was made in a case, " Smith the
Great Eastern Railway," which was shortly after-
wards commenced in the court of Vice-Chancellor
Malin; to appoint a receiver irrespective of the disposition
of the money, and it was granted, and the other cause
transferred. The present application on the part of the
plaintiff Wilkinson, that the preference shareholders
might attend the proceedings in the other suit, by Mr.
Smith, on the part of the debenture holders, as the appli-
cation of the fund now accumulating was a question of con-
' siderable moment.

Mr. Kays, for the plaintiff in the first suit, claimed to
appear in the case instituted by the plaintiff Smith. He
admittml that the debenture holders were to be paid first,
and then, by the act of parliament, the preference share-
holders whom be represented in the suit were to be
satisfied.

Mr. Buckley asked whether the application was opposed.
Mr. Green (I/burst and Morris) on the part of the
plaintiff Smith, left the matter with the chief clerk. Of
course the party would appear at their own expense.
Mr. Kays said there would be enough for all. The pre-
ference shareholders would take after the debenture
holders and the other creditors.

The Chief Clerk asked whether the company opposed.
Mr. Shaw, on the part of the GreAt Eastern, offered no
opposition.
Mr. Kays remarked that the snit on the part of the
debenture holders was in fact the suit on the part of
the company.
Mr. Green denied that that was the case.

Mr. Kays said a bill was tiled one day and a receiver
appointed the next. It looked very much like it.
After a further discussion in which it was stated that
a question would arise as to the order of payment of the
parties, the chief clerk made an order a. prayed to appear.

DEPARTURE OF THE BEIAaAN
VOLUNTEERS.—(THIS DAY.)

Before 1U o'clock this morning the Belgians
began to mutter in the quadrangle, Somerset I
House, previous to marching to take their de-
parture from this country ; and by half-past 10
the whole of the corps were ready to move. In the
interim the Belgians met with quite an ovation from
the occupants of the windows in the surrounding build-
ings. The eica,vhere attached to the Garde Civique d'Os-
tends, who was attired in a blue frock coat, trousers of the
same material, with red stripes at the side, and who wore
a low black hat, and a chignon of large dimensions, plied
a good trade in " pure Jamaica rum," among the Belgian..
The appearance of the men was somewhat singular ;
macintoshes, grunt coats, and talma capes being found
welcome garment, ; and in most cases the Belgians had
some articles of luggage to convey home ; whilst many
made the end of their rifles a peg for hat-boxes, /..c.
The order being given, they emerged into the Strand,
and loud were the greetings that met them ; the
streets were ;Med with spectators, and the inscrip.
tion "Au Revoir " was visible in several in-
stances. On reaching Trafalgar-square the crowd
became greater—the bells of St. Martin's in the
Fields were ringing merrily, and cries of "Hip, hip,
hurrah !" were raised in all parts, while the waving of hats
and handkerchiefs made the scene one of an extra-
ordinary character. A line waa formed along Parllament-
street, by the police, through which the volunteers
paused amidst incessant cheering, which the Belgians
responded to in a cordial manner. Around Palace-yard a
vast concourse had assembled, and on the arrival of
the Belgians the greatest enthusiasm prevailed. The
Queen's Westminster Volunteers were stationed in the
yard as a guard of honour under the command of Lord
Grosvenor and Major Charter, and as the Belgians
entered, the band of the English corps played God
Save the Queen, which was gracefully acknow-
ledged by our departing guest'. The point of
embarkation was the House of Commons stairs, the en-
trance to which was effected through the Speaker's gate.
For the departure eight steam verele had been chartered
by the Reception Committee to convey the party to
Gravesend to meet the Serapis, and when all was
ready the Ibis was soon filled and left the stairs amidst
loud demonstrations. The Metis then came alongside,
and having received its full complement of men it left
and the same warm greeting was accorded it.
Then came the Elfin, and the first to go on
board was the drum-major of (the Garde Civique,
the recognition of whose gigantic proportions gave
rise to loud shouting, clapping of hands, as
Owing to her heavy freight, however, the Elfin
could not put off, the tide being too low,
and the Martin was brought alongside, and into it
the party soon shifted and got away, the cheering
being immense. It was then found practicable to have one
of the Citizen steam-boats placed beside the temporary
pier, and through this the Belgians passed successively into
the Widgeon, the Cupid, and the Elfin. The whole of
the volunteers having been accommodated, the Fairy was
was the next to start. This vessel was called the " ladies'
boat," and the fair occupants consisted of ladies of dis-
tinction, who had taken an interest in the welcome of our
Belgian guests. Apart from the gay dresses here displayed,
the boat was tastefully decorated with flags and wreaths ;
and in the centre was the inscription, on • white ground
and letters worked in the Belgian colours, " Adieu."
The band of the Hon. Artillery Company was
on board ; and altogether the Fairy attracted
much attention. The last boat was the Swift,
which was exclusively set apart for the members
of the reception committee, and this having moved from the
stairs, the whole party proceeded down the river. West-
miaster-bridge was lined with spectators, and the warm
expressions of feeling evinced must have been cheering to
the departing Belgians, and from the windows of the houses
of Parliament continual waving of handkerchiefs was re-
marked. Among the party who proceeded to Gravesend
were noticed Colonel Lindsay and lady, Lord
and Lady Overstone, Earl Cardigan, Colonel
Warde, Mr. Cockcroft, &o. The scene down the
river was particularly animated ; every bridge was occu-
pied by spectators, the several landing stages were
crowded, and in every available place on either side
of the Thames many had taken up their position ; and
amidst the cheering that emanated from this vast multi.
tude, the playing of the bands on the several vessels ren-
dered the event one of the most demonstrative that could
be well conceived.

A Gravesend correspondent writing yesterday says :
" The inhabitants of this old borough are makingpreparations
to give the Belgian volunteers a hearty farewell on the occa-
sion of their embarkation on board her Majesty's trans-
port screw frigate Seraph' to-morrow afternoon. The
Serapis has arrived at the Thames Conservancy mooring
buoys off the Terrace pier in readiness to receive the
foreign visitors, and a very large stook of provisions has
been brought down from town and put on board. It is
anticipated that the steamers conveying the Belgians from
London will arrive about two o'clock. They will go along-
aide the Serapis, and the troops will at once proceed on
board. The frigate will probably get under weigh about
five o'clock. The Thames Conservancy steam yacht will
be in attendance, sad the harbour masters have taken
every precaution to prevent the possibility of accidents."

RITUALISM AND THE CLERICAL VEST-
MEETS BILL.-( THIS DAY.)

A numerous public meeting to protest against the
spread of ritualism, and to support the Earl of Shaftes-
bury's Clerical Vestments Bill, commenced at 2 o'clock,

THE IRIBII ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SHOW.—The
preparations for the great show of the Royal Agricultural
oct, to be held at Dublin the last week in August, are
rapidly progressing. The different buildings are being
erected in Stephen's-green. In addition to cattle, sheep,
implements, kc. a large horse show will be held, and •
banquet, at which probably 600 or 700 will be present, will
be given. as well as a ball. "We hope," says the Irish
Times, " to be able shortly to announce the fact that his
Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and other distin-
guished guests will be present. Although his royal high.
neaten reply to the invitation sent to him has not yet been
received, we have every hope that he will be pretreat on the
occasion, in accordance with the invitation forwarded by
the committee, and very cordially supported by his Excel-
len the Lord-Lieutenant."
Hop PRosrzers.—Few persona who have not
studied the subject have an adequate idea of the import-
ance of this crop, or of its pecuniary value to the
growers. It is computed that, in the various districts
in which the hop is cultivated in England, not fewer
than 70,000 acres are this year devoted to this crop. At
• moderate estimate not less than 10/. per acre is ex-
pended upon labour alone before the produce is finally
secured. An average crop should reach 8 cwt. per acre,
which taken at the moderate price of 61. per cwt.,
would realise to the growers no less than 3,3110,000/.
We regret, however, that there is little prospect this
season of the hop-growers transferring such • sum to the
credit of their banking aocounts—an attack of blight, un-
precedented in severity since 1854, has visited these
pleasant Kentish gardens, and the prospects for the coming
season are gloomy in the extreme. Thousands of acres,
which two months ago gladdened the hearts of the plasters
with prospects of an abundant yield, have succumbed to
the attack of the insidious foe, and, when the time for
picking arrives, will be found utter failures.—Licensed

MONEY MARKST.-(17118 DAY.)

Chra o'Osooz.

The stock markets are dull in tone so far as th e
funds are concerned, owing to the weather having
induced apprehensions as to the crops in some parts
of the country, and to vague political rumours
from Paris as to armaments being in contempla-
tion. Railways are inactive but a good effect has
been Produced by the circulars issued by the
directors of the Brighton and the Metropolitan
Companies, more especially on those lines, and
present tendencies are still favourable. There are,
however, very few investments in progress.
The discount market continues remarkably quiet,
with full supplies. At the Bank business is upon
the smallest possible scale ; and in Lombard-street
the terms for the best bills remain at to 2 per
cent., and with the same tendencies to further ease
which prevailed for several days in the past week.
Short advances on the Stock Exchange are quoted at
per cent.

Consols are now quoted at MR to 4 for money,
and at 944 toy for account, being the same as
at the close of the Stock Exchange on Friday, with
rather a feeble tone in the market. Reduced and
New Three per Cents. remain at 931 to I.
Bank Stock is still in request, and the price
is now quoted at 256 to 258.

The first ordinary general meeting of the share-
holders of the United Discount Corporation
(Limited), was held to-day at the London Tavern.
The directors, in their report, assured the proprie-
tors that the business of the company had pro-
gressed very satisfactorily, and that the now and
valuable accounts which had recently been opened
sheaved that the prospects of the corporation were
most encouraging. A dividend of 2s. 6d. per share,
being at the rate of rather more than si per cent.
per annum, was declared, and a balance of 1,7711.
4s. 4d. carried to the next half-year's account.
The following circular has been issued to the
shareholders in the Metropolitan Railway Com-
pany:

Metropolitan Railway Company's 011 lees, 3, Old
Palace-yard, Westminster, London, 8.W.,
July 19, 1867.

Dear Sir,—A statement having appeared in some of the
daily papers that the directors of this company propose
at the ensuing half-yearly meeting to recommend th
creation of a large amount of ordinary share capital, I am
desired in order to prevent misconception, to state the real
facts. With • view to prevent the necessity for the
immediate male of the surplus lands of the com-
pany at a great sacrifice, the directors intend to
recommend the creation of a capital of 600,0001., to bear
interest at 5 per cent., and to be redeemable with a bonus
of 10 per cent. within ten years, viz. r-100,0001. at
the end of the sth, Bth, 7th, Bth, 9th, and
10th years respectively. Under the special powers of the
company, surplus lands valued at 1,000,000/., with the
rents accruing therefrom, will be specially bypothe.
cated to meet the payment of the interest
and bonus, and the repayment of the principal,
so that the additional capital, though nominally
a preference capital, will in fact never become • ch►rge on
the revenue account. The new shares will, of course, be
offered pro rate to the holders of consolidated and exten-
sion stock.—l am, dear sir, yours faithfully,
JOHN HENCHMAN, Secretary.
M. Slaughter, Esq., Sec. Stock Exchange, E.C.

The directors of the Brighton Railway Company
I have issued a circular explanatory of their objects
in asking for authority to issue as ordinary shares
or stock, the whole or any part of the shares or stock
created under the power of the act of 1866. They
say that a total amount of leas than 1,500,0001.
will suffice, and that 1,000,000/, will require to
be raised by shares, of which not above
600,000/. or 600,0001. will probably be required for
the next twelve months. The following are the
most important parts of the circular : —The di-
rectors have decided on railing this amount by an
issue of ordinary stock at a discount, and they are
happy to say that they have succeeded in convinc-
ing a committee of the House of Lords of the expe-
diency of this course, and have obtained special
powers for this purpose in the bill, which has just
passed the third reading. There cannot be a
question that this mode of issue is more
legitimate and better calculated to restore
the company's credit than if they were to
attempt to pile up more preference stock at
a high rate of interest on the already
too narrow basis of 5,400,0001. of ordinary
stock. It is equally clear that until the dividend
on the ordinary stock reaches 4 per cent.
there is a positive advantage to the holders
of it in raising capital in this way, rather
than by preference stock, as the interest on
1,000,0001., if raised by further preference stock,
would of itself suffice to pay 1 per cent. on the
whole of the ordinary stock, including the new issue.
Accordingly they will propose, at the meeting con-
vened for the 26th July, to take powers to create the
remaining unappropriated stock as ordinary stock,
and immediately after the meeting they will issue
so much of it as will be requisite for the wants of
the year at such time as the state of the money
market may then warrant, offering the same in
the first instancepro rata among the ordinary share-
holders.

HALF-PAST THREE O'CLOCK.
Consols remain unchanged, at 94} to # for money,
and 94# to for the account. _ _

Notices have been issued to the creditors of the
Bank of London announcing that, in accordance
with the recent arrangement sanctioned by the
Court of Chancery, the balance of their debts,
equal to 54. 6d. in the pound, with interest on each
dividend, will be payable at the office of Messrs.

Chadwick, McKenna, and Co., in the course 0
next week.

The directors of the English, Scottish, and Aus-
tralian Chartered Bank have issued the subjoined
report, in anticipation of the general meeting called
for the 29th inst. ;
The directors have to submit to the proprietors the re.
stilt of the operations of the bank for the half-year ter-
minating at the branches on the 31st March, and in Lon-
don on the 30th June last. the monetary crisis, to which
reference was made in the last report as existing in the
colonies, has been followed by extreme stagnation during
the whole of the period under review, more especially in
New South Wales, where the large failures which occurred
in the latter part of 1866 caused a severe shock to mercan-
tile confidence, seriously affecting trade generally and
greatly depreciating the value of all descriptions of pro-
perty. "'under these very exceptional circum-
stances, the directors were not unprepared to hoar
that lases to some extent bad been incurred,
notwithstanding the caution exercised by the co-
lonial managers in conducting the affairs of the bank.
The directors have to report that the profits are fully equal
to the avenge, but in consequence of the losses arising
from the panic already alluded to, they have found it
necessary to transfer 10,000/. from the reserved fund for
the purpose of equalising the dividend. They adopt this
course in preference to proposing a lower rate of dividend
on the present occasion because they have every confidence
i that with the mproved state of commercial matters in the
colonies, which may naturally be looked for after the panic
which has prevailed, the future profits of the bank will be
maintained, and that the amount by which the reserved
fund is now reduced will speedily be replaced to that
account. The directors therefore recommend that out of
the balance of profit and loss account, viz., 22,966/.
2s. 111, a dividend be paid at the rate of 7 per cent. per
annum, free of income tax, on 600,0001., the paid-up
capital of the bank, which will require 21,000/. ; that the
premises and furniture accounts be reduced by 1,000/. ;
sad that 966/. Is. lld, be brought forward to the current
half-year.
Below is the report of the directors of the Con-
solidated Bank (Limited), to be presented at the
half-yearly meeting called for the 24th inst. at
Manchester :
The directors beg to lay before the shareholders the ac-
counts and balance-sheet of the bank for the half-year
ending 30th June, 1867. The whole of the promissory
notes of the bank have been redeemed. The directors
desire to remind the shareholders that the bank has had to
contend with the high rate of five per cent. interest on the
large amount of these promissory notes, while the average
rate of the bank of England has teen only three per cent.
In comparing the amount of deposits and credit balances
it will be seen that, deducting the sum of 1,320,186/.ls. of
promissory notes included in the last statement the in-
crease in these items has been to less than 571,33. W. 16s. Id.
This peogr ss of the bank during the but six months can-
not be otherwise than satisfactory. The commitments of
the bank to the Atlantic and Great Western Railway Com-
pany were fully stated to the shareholders at the meeting
held on the 21st June, 1866. Since that meeting the railway
has suspended payment, and this event has now for the first
time brouAt the bank under cash advance on the account.
The total liabilities, present and prospective, thus in-
curred, are 233,691/., against which the directors hold as
securities the obligations of the guarantors and of other
parties, and their claim on the railway itself. In the pre-
sent conflict of evidence concerning the affairs of the rail-
way it is impossible to determine whether any loss will Of
will not ultimately accrue to the bank ; but in order to
provide against any lock-up or loss which may arise, the
directors have decided that it would be prudent*, set
aside from time to time a sum sufficient to meet all mem
financials. The first provision boabeen included the
present balance-sheet, in the form of a special reserve
fund, which has been credited with the sum of 10,0001.
After payment of 16,655/. 12s. 10d. interest on promissory
notes, interest to customers, current expenses, rebate of
interest on bills in hand, income tax making provision for
bad and doubtful debts, and adding interest to reserve
fund at 4 per cent. per annum, the net profits for the half-
year amount to 26,4651. Os. 21; to which have to
be added the balance from last half-year of 9,107/.
7s. 3d., and amount over-estimated for bad and
doubtful debts, on the 30th of June, 1866, 4,774/. 3s. 101.;
making a total of 40,346/. Ils. 3d. ; out of this it is pro-
pmed to pay the shareholders interest at the rate of 5 per
cent. per annum, free of income tax, which will take
18,958/. 6s. Bd. ; to carry to reserve fund, 3,2001. ; which,
with the interest already added, makes an increase of
5,0001. for the half-year ; to carry to special reserve fund,
10.0001. ; to carry forward to next account, 8,1881. 4s. 71;
in all, 40,346!. lls. 3d. The paid-rep capital of the bank
is now 800,0001. ; the reserve fund amounts to 95,0001. ;
after the payment of interest now proposed the old and
new shares will rank equally. The directors again decline
to receive any remuneration for their services during the
half-year. The interest warrants will be payable on and
after Thursday, the Ist August next.
The half-yearly meeting of the London and
South Western Railway Company is to take place
on the 15th August.
A general meeting of the shareholders of the
London and South Western Bank (Limited) is
called for the 13th of August, when a dividend is

whose capital is to be 1,000,000/. in 75,000 ordi-
nary shares of 101., and 25,000 preferential shares
of 10/. It appears that "it is proposed to transfer
to such new company the whole of the business
and property of this company, in consideration of
the new company allotting 60,000 ordinary shares
in the new company, credited with 101. per share
paid, for the purpose of distribution amongst the
members of this company, or otherwise for the
benefit of this company, and assuming all the
liabilities of this company."
The half-yearly meeting of the Isle of Wight

pany (Limited) is convened for the 30th inst.
The directors of Parr's Banking Company (Li-

of income tax. _ . _

With reference to the wine and spirit trade, the
following is from the circular of Mr. F. W. Cozens,
dated the 19th inst. :
Since the issue of my market report for June the only
new fact of importance to record is some movement
towards activity in the spirit market. Brandy (old,
landed 1865) has been sold at an advance upon late quota-
' !ions. Rum is in better demand, and a small rise has
been established. Port, sherry, French and other wines
oontinue in fair demand at unaltered values. The ad-
vices from the various Australian ports still continue
adverse,and both wines and spirits are reported to be
leaving heavy lasses to importers. The question of •
treaty with Portugal still continues to occupy attention,
and those who remember, to their cost, the injury inflicted
upon importers as well as dealers on • former occasion,
when a commercial treaty with that country was under
discussion, may well desire that the negotiations now
pending should be pressed toss speedy an issue as possible.
The trade m differ as to how this may hest be done, but
there is probably no difference of opinion as to its being
desirable to press both. governments to an early decision.
wineSo much porbeinfutiotetled annually for future use,
the loss of • single bott • season is of serious money
value to both shippers and parlors.

A complete absence of business has induced re-
newed depression in British mining shares, in which
there is almost generally $ lower range of quota-
tions. The attendance is thin, and the weather
unsettled, two circumstances that usually act as
discouragementa to fresh transactions. Foreign
stocks, on the other hand, though inactive
have, in several cases, slightly improved.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKET&

Me Rii-LAN R. —(THIB DAT.).

The few samples of Englisl; wheat on sale here to-day
were taken off slowly, but at an advance in the quotations
compared with Monday last of from Is. to 2s. per qr.
There was an improved feeling in the sale for foreign
wheat, at Is. to 2s. per qr. more money. Most of the im-
ports are passing direct to the town millers.
The sale for barley was steady, and grinding parcels
were 6d. per quarter dearer.
Malt, the supply of which was tolerably good, moved off
steadily at full quotations.
Inferior Russian oats declined Gd. per quarter, but other
kinds were firm in price. The supply of foreign was very
extensive.
. . . . .

-VeryTew beans were brought forward. On the whole,
the inquiry for them ruled steady. at quite previous rates.
Peas were inactive, yet prices were well supported.
Most kinds of flour were held at 2s. per 2801 b• more
money.
Agricultural seeds, as well as cakes, were a dull
*tar,.
Owing to the unsettled state of the weather and the
large number of vessels arrived at the various port of call,
the floating grain cargo trade has been somewhat active,
and prices generally have ruled firm. The demand for
wheat has been unusually brisk, and prices have advanced
from 2s. to :is. The arrivals have been on an exten-
sive scale. Ghirka Odessa, arrived, hie realised

Taganrog, 325. ; Danubian, Salina, 32. ; ditto, to be
shipped, 19e. to 28s. The operations in rye have been
extensive, and we have to report an improvement of 2a in

sold at 245. lid.; and • parcel shipping at
22. e. 6d. In beans there has been nothing doing,
and prices remain nominal, say, 36e. to 375. for
Iftcyptian. Linseed has met a fair inquiry, and buyers
have submitted to an advance of lid. to ls. ; but the opera-
tions, however, have been rather restricted. Black flea,
arrived, 645. ; Azov, on passage, 60s. ed. te 61s. 6d. ; Cal-
