WINDING-UP OF JOINT STOCK COMPANIES.

THE BOSTON, NEWARK AND SHEFFIELD RAILWAY.
—The affairs of this company have just been referred to his
Honour Master Rickards, to ascertain by a preliminary inquiry
whither it Is expedient that the undertaking should be wound
up under the act. From the state of facts just crought in
by the petitioners, it appears that although the directors
deposited two distinct sets of plans and section'', they were
both grossly incorrect, and were so declared by the House of
Commons. A large portion of the line was never surveyed,
and nu books of reference lodged, and petitioners allege that
the attempt of the directors to go on in par;iament was a
reckless and unjustifiable expenditure of the funds of the
shareholders, and that for these and other reasons they
ought to be call. don to account for the 168,0001. they r. ceived
in the shape of deposits. The petitioners on the ground of
gross twin/. ace, protest against the engineeri sig and surveying
charges of 23,1511. and of the legal and pa rlimeetary of 31,2961.
The directors in their account with the sharehaders charge
themselves with • return of 11. per share out of the deposit
of 21 12s. 61. on 64,000 shores, whereas it appeared by the
affidavit of Mr. Balmond, the chairman of the company,
made in this matter on 2nd February lot, that the 11. was
paid on 56,271 shares only, the remaining shares, as he
all, get, having been either lost or transferred, a that the
direct.,ll, it is aheged, must still nave in their hands 7,7291.
in ream ct of this item alone. The petitioners allege that
the directors are chargeable with a sum also of 3,5281. in
respect of the proceeds of some Midland stock, exchanged
for 160 shares in the Mansfield and Pitigton Railway, for
which they debit themselves with 13,5284 instead of 10,0001.
The peitioners also chugs them to account fur ether GUMS
respect vely of 3,8641 and 3,6281 on transactions with the
company's funds in respect of 60,0001. Midland Stock, and
consequent on negotiations with the Baron and Newark
Company to abandon part of their scheme. The peti-
dont is protest spinet the leg dity of this applica-
tion of the company's funds, and contend that the
directors received a far larger premium on these transac-
tions .han they showed to the shareholders. Returns of the
reinsinl r of the deposit were made in the shape of a divi.ion
of 11. of Midland stock for every two Boston and Newark
shares, acid subsequently a final return of le. 6d. per share,
but which the petitioners declined to e ceive.

that she will carry two tboas.nd seven hundred tool

postscript is the following :—I have it upon un-
doubted authority, that up to this moment the Papal
loan has not been completed, though it is possible that
the house of Rothschild will negotiate it; it is thiv, I
believe, which is the principal impediment to the re-
turn of Pio Nino, whose desire and intention to do so
are undoubted. In spits of all that has been said
alesit Pia return et his holism as this or that day,
or this or that mouth, I can assure you that there is
not a word of truth in it all—no day has ever been
fired.

The American frigate, the SL Lawrence, came in
here this week, last from Port Mahon. About the
same ti me arrived H. 31. steamer Spitfire from L-ghorn,
with despatches for our embasby and for Greece.

LAND) BILL.

On th• motion of Sir W. SOMERVILLE this bill paned
through cammittze.
BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE.

In reply to
lewd J. RUSSELL sail that the Irish Franchise Bill
stood for Monday, but It would not be proceeded with at •
late hour. The two first v.ites for the army would be pro-
ceeded with on Monday, and after they were disposed of the
nary estimates would come on.
The house thou adjourned at half-past 12 o'clock.

CEYLON COMMITTEE.—The proceedings in this com-
mittee, on Thursday, we are given to understand, were
of intense and startling interest. The circumstances
under which the priest was hung, and the coarse,
violent language used by Lord Torrington in ordering
the execution, are said to have been proved to the
letter of the allegations made. The signature
appended to one of the proclamations, on which the
first report of the committee tarns, is proved to be
Captain Watson's. He may have signed the docu-
ment in ignorance, seeing that he ia by hie own admis-
sion unacquainted with the Cingalese language, but
his the signature is ; and this readers it probable
that so also are the signatures to the other three
proclamations.

A government officer embarked at Lisbon, charged
with despatches for Viscount Moncorvo i and the
packet was detained beyond the time of sailing, by
order of In r Majesty's minister, far his despatches.
Tee quarantine is etill kept up with rigour in the
Spanish ports, and the authorities say they can take
no mutinies to do away with it, without express
ordrrs from the Supreme Junta at Madrid. At
Gibraltar the Board of Ilualth have petitioned the
governor to rerla:e it from six to three days, but the
result was not known on the departure of the packet.
At the ri civet of her Majesty's Consul, the marine
authorities hive sent the Minerva, brig-of-war, from
Vigo, to look tar the wreck that was seen by the
Jupiter packet, but as yet she has not been successful.
This vessel lies in the immediate track of vessels, and
having or ither masts nor bulwarks, is extremely den-

to Mr. C. Sculmewski, the secretary to the Anociation ct the
Friends of Poland.

with another Pole, who was hell to bail yesterday after-
noon for an assault on complainant, to receive an
answer to an appliestion made to the association Lr
relief the day before. Witness teld them to return
in an hour, and fearing from the prisoner's previous
csuf uct towards him that he should have ;an an.
pleasant meeting, took the precaution of havin2 •
constable in attendance. On the return of the prisoner and
the other Pole, he rcad, In writing, the answer to their ap-
plication. The defendant, on hearing the decision, began
to abuse witness its the most violent and disgusting terms,
while the other Pole pushed him about with great force. The
cos stable came to his assistance, and took the latter into cus-
tody. The other P..les was no sooner taken to thestation-house
then the pritoueroasing the most violent gestures, threatened
to do for him (witness) as soon as a c .uvenitnt opportunity
presented itself. Witness having every reason to believe
that he would carry this threat into effect, left the house and
mune to this court for protection. The prisoner had been
as-isted by the association a number of times; em-
ployment had been got for him, but in consequence of his
and loose habits ho never kept a situation more than a
day or so. The society thereon, did not feel themselves
bound to relieve him any further.
The prisoner, who deniel using the language imputed to
him by the complainant, wss held to bail, himself in 251.,
and two sureties in 251. etch, to keep the peace for six
mouths.

prices underwent no alteration. Barley wee a dragging

were in very limited request. and the quotatems of Monday

Mr. Hippos took several objections to the proceedings.
He contended that by the act under which the proceedings
were taken two magistrates were required to adjudicate on
the case end not one.
Mr. gingham said the legislature moat certainly intended
that one metropoliten magistrate, Wag a skilled and ex-
perienced person, should have authority to do what could
only be done by two country judos& He believed the
objection now taken was untaaable ; but rather than time
should be any doubt he would, if required, adjourn the
further hearing, to obtain the attendance of hie eollisigue,
Mr. Hardwick. He keel already stated that it was essential
to have the Marge disposed of on its ratrita, sad not got rid

SOUTII AMERICA.

LA PLATA.

We find the following in the 21f0nifeur (Pat:s):—
" The government, wishing to put an end to the male-
volent and anti-national insinuations which some
French journals, on the faith of an English journal,
have promulgated, thinks it cannot do better than
publish the report itself, which the Miniett r of the
Marine has just received from Lieutenant Foullro_y,
who had been sent on • mission to Admiral LI
Predour, and who has returned in the Alcibade :

Admiral,—l formed part of the staff of the Archim3de, on
the 21st July last; it is then as so eye-witness that I can make
known to you what occurred in the roadstead of Buenos Ayres,
under the circumstances to which certsin journals
Admiral Le Frau, embarked at two o'clock in the ..fter-
nonn in an Argentine sloop to return on board the steam-
corvette the Archimede, which brought him to Monte Video
in the month of April. lle was acempanied by two admirals.
by a captain of the li.tle Argentine flr et, and by an aide.de-
rump of General Ruts. Waco the bast bearing the admiral
was at 300 yards from the war reticency the Jelin, that yes-
eel displayed tke French flag, and saluted it with seventeen
guns. Tile Archimede did not return this salute, as
is armed; it was the corvette the Astrolabe which
did so; it fired seventeen guns, neither more nor less: 1
counted them. This exeliange of salutes was not the sabject
of a previou convention ; it was, as it were, improvised, and
was considered by all the spectators as a homage rendered
by the Argentine government to the person of the French
negociater.
