(•Try OF LONDON.

The revision of the LA of voters for the City of
London war resumed this morning beton Mr. Spencer
Pererral, in the Court of Common Pleas. Uuildbsll.

The Liberals were represented as before, by Yr. Sydney
Smith and Mr. Ledger, and the Conservatives by Messrs.
C. H. Bailey and T. Harper.
The piscine of Salting for objections received a auddea
check Boni yho Herat% Barpow is a 96e• of a lodger
rl^;—
-..itit,2lvle objected tut les

that the descsiption of the olaimint's landlady, sic,
" Mims Norton, Fitaey-aquare," was insuMeitat.
Mr. Harper produced a witness who stated that although
be had made inquirire at a doses hours is Faun-square
and of the tradesmen in the locality this morn* be had
failed to get any tiding. of Miss Norton. lie had aloe
watched •` Kelly's (Wide," but Mies Norton's name was
not to be found there.

The Revising Barrister—Mow many houses are there in
the square
The Witness—Thirty-eight.
The Revising ar—The question is simply this—
is " litsroyoiquare" sufficient residence of the landlord to
supply the oeos.ary information. Ima of opinion that
as Fitzroy-square has only 38 houses it is snaciest
This point is raised by one of the judges who says, "Ox-
ford-street" might not be sulkiest, but that if you take
a small street where there are only about a doyen houses,
the insertion of the name of the street is sufficient for the
requirements of the act..
Mr. Harper—lf you allow the case to stand over, I will
send to the 38 house.

The Revising Barrister—No. You ought to have been
p!ovitird beforehand. No objection ought to be made
unless it is justified by previous inquiry. You must not
come to court to fish for objections.
Mr. Smith—They have not even asked the information
from the lodger.
The Revising Barrister—l disallow the objection.

The revision of tielietsicritlo city of West-
minster was resumed before Kr. Nassau Senior in the
Lords Justices' Court, Westminster-halt this morning.
The list proceeded with was that of the lodgers' claims in
St. George's, of which there were 1.,447.
Francis Adeney Allem, banker's clerk, claimed as a
lodger, in the house of his father, Cambridge-street.
A witness stated that the claimant lodged and boarded
with his father and paid him 201. a year separately for a
bedroom.

Mr. Malkeon objected to the claim, on the ground
that it was a joint oocupabon, and he pointed out that
the receipts seemed to have been written all at one time.
The Kerbing Barrister said this appeared to him to be a
got up claim, and he must expunge the name ; but, on
the application of Mr. Notes, he consented to let it stand
over, to give the claimant another opportunity of proving
his claim.

ImNDON PANE" OP MEXICO AND SOUTH
AMERII,A (LIMITAD).-(THIS DA F.)

The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders was
held at noon, at the City Terminus Hotel , Mr. F. W.
Breams, M.P., in Ur chair.

The report stated that the balance-sheet and protlt and
loss account, for the half-year ending 30th June last,
showed that, after paying charges, deducting rebate, and
making provision for bad and doubtful debts, there
.re-
mained an available balance of 15,4711. 10e. 7d., including
3,22 W. 17s. '2d. balance from last half-year. Of
this sum the dixectora recommend that 10.8071. 4s. be ap-
propriated in the payment of an interim dividend of 12s. per
share, free of income tax (being at the rate of 6 per cent.
per annum), leaving 4,6641. 6e. 7d. to be carried forward to
the current half-year, subject to a reduction by payment of
income tax. The branch at Lima had been recently thoroughly
inspected by Mr. Thomas Horncaatle, who for many years
was actively connected with commerce in Mexico, and he
reported favourably on the ant of Mr. Ford.
At Bogota the manager was en in realising and re-
pitting to this country the outstanding accounts at that
branch. With respect to Mexico the report stated that
under Mr. Newbold's able management the branch there
continues to do well.

The Cuaraksx said it gave the directors great pleasure
to meet the shareholders, as the report wee satisfactory.
The resources of Mexico were inexhaustible, and he be-
lieved that with peace the profits of the bank
would increase. The dividend to be declared
showed an increase, and one-third more would
be carried forward than at the previous meeting.
The visit of Mr. Honwastle ;to Mexico could not but
prove advantageous to the company. Their affairs in that
country were in the hands of a very discreet man, in the
person of Mr. Newbold.
After a short discussion the report was adopted, and a
dividend at the rate of six per cent. per annum declared.

ButKpantEl ItzoisTßATios.—A correspondent
telegraphs that a very large number of the liberal objec-
tions to county voters on the rateable value list wore
served after the appointed day, 20th August, owing to a
wrong construction being put on the reform act, and the
revising barrister having ruled that they are bad, they
will, it is understood, be withdrawn.

Yesterday, the Tian. Mr. Lyttelton and Mr. R.
Biddulph Martin, the two liberal candidates for East
Worcestershire, visited Birminglutm. They went upon
'Change, and had a very cordial reception. We (Bir-
mixyham Posy/ believe that the chance of their success is
pretty well ..cured. _ _ _

- -
A model claimant of the franchise presented
himself before one of the Dublin revising harridan on
Wednesday. Ile claimed to be placed on the lodger list,
and, in reply to a question of couneel, said that ho had no
key for the ball door, and that the last person who entered
the house. which was kt in tenements, usually closed the
door. Ik himself would do so when he came in last "if
he could see it.- and. in reply to a question whether he
was often in a state which would render that difficult, he
replied, "Sometimes." His claim was admitted.

-716N or NUITINONBX.-11O; following letter has been ad-
dressed by Mr. 0-horre, M.P., to Mr. 0. 0. Taylor, of
that town :—"Nt wtown Amer, Clonmel, September 10,
Ih6B.—lkar Sir,—Accept my thanks for your kind note,
and the Da pen forwarded by you. Though writing from
a sick bed, -1 will endesiVour to answer your inquirks on
the points to which you have alluded, as clearly
us may be. First, as to the part taken by Inc
in regard to the Permissive Bill. Though not
au advocate of that measure in its present form,
I voted for its introduction by Mr. Lawson, in order
that its principle might be fairly discussed. I have no
recollection of having used offensive terms towards its
supporter., whom, a highly conscientious body of men are
entitled to respect, indeed my objections are not directed
against their principles, I only question the efficacy of
their mean,. The opposition to my re-election on the
part of the Load Reform League is based on a miscon-
ception of my votes ou reform and retrenchment ; as •
radical, I have always voted for reform, as an econo-
mist my name will be found in the same list with
Mime, Cobden, and Bright, supporting a reduc-
tion of expenditure. By law I could have claimed
a retiring pension of 1,2001. per annum, but wishing to
maintain my independence as a member of the legislature,
I have not pressed that claim. When the scheme of lay-
ing out some millions on fortifications was first brought
forward in parliament, it was resisted pertinaciously by
me, although there is nation to believe, had my opposition
been discontinued a position in the Administration would
have been at my option. In laying these circumstances
before you, I do so, in no vain spirit of self-glorification
but as both my motives and public acts have been miscon-
strued, it is fair that the truth should be known. If my
past career is any guarantee for my future conduct, my
votes are on record ; it consistency be any recommenda-
tion to liberals, my opinions are unchanged. You can
make what use you like of this letter. am. dear, sir,
faithfully yours RALPH OSBORNE.
A M.lllllBllor MANNINO ON THE SUNDAY
Tasrric. Archbishop Manning addressed •
public meeting of the Spitallields Total Abstinence Asso-
ciation on Wednesday evening, and dwelt at considerable
length on the Sunday trade in intoxicating drinks. The
archbishop referred to the failure of Mr. John Abel
Smith's bill last session, and suggested that pro-
bably many members of parliament, hoping for re-
election, did not wish to make enemies of the pnblicans.
He hoped that iu the new parliament such a measure
would be adopted, and he was sure that the working
classes would welcome legislation in such a direction.
This had to a very great extent been proved by the fact
that in Manchester, and especially in the factories, a very
large number of petitioners had supported the principle of
Mr. Smith's bill. He could not see why the shops of
butchers' and bakers should be closed almost all day on
Sunday. while the public-houses were open during so
great a part of that day. Ile spoke also against the
custom of young rased's, sometimes children, frequenting
public houses, a custom which ho heard was increasing,
and also against the custom of families sending servant-
women to public houses, where so much evil was often
seen and heard.

THE DREADFUL ACCIDENT NEAR NEWCASTLE

The coroner held an inquiry yesterday into the
cause of the fearful accident that occurred at Washington,
:ier title near Newcastle, oa Wednesday, as briefly
in yesterday's Repro*. The facts stated in the
evidence showed that the calasaity.was of an exceedingly
painful descriptioa. It happened in the Lomas of ir a-
hem Stokoe, • grocer, draper, and prevision &Woe. Mr.
Stoke* had received only that ajar containing
two gallons of diamond oil, whioh he ordered from
Mr. Logan, oil merchant, Newcastle. Instead of at aim
being tab n into the shop, it was put under • table in the
kitchen behind the shop. About midday, Mr. Stoic" kis
wife, three daughters, two sons, a niece, and miming girl,
rat down to dinner, which was plaosd on the table ander
which the jar was. Just as they were about to begin their
dinner, some one (supposed to be the younger son) came
against the jar with his feetand upset it, causing it to fallen
its side aad beak . In • moment or two the oil had spreadall
over the kitchen floor, and even found Ns way to tharitre-
place. It caught file instantaneously, and the whole of
the room we, immediately in a blue. The flames also
extended to the clothes of the occupant, of the Id=
who, in their alarm, laid hold of each other and ol
together in • corner against the door. Every pant of the
kitchen and the fuznitare it contained were bur ing all
this time, and, at length, the smell and the fames
ted the attention of the neighbours and of • large body of
workmen in laying
MOW, pipes along the streets.
But as thedoor was closed, they had I. force their way
into the burning room. Alter a great deal of difficulty
they succeeded in rescuing the unfortunate peewns, some
of whom were ado to walk, but others had to be carried
out. They were laid down in the back street and covered
with nags, COMP, and blankets until the fire in their burn-
ing apparel was extieguished. They were then carried
into the houses adjoinang, and their clothes taken off The
flames in the room were ex •ngu•shed in the course of a
short time, but not before the fiurniture it contained and
its fittings had been almost totally destroyed.
The Coroner (Mr. Pavel]) and jury started the house of
Mr. Stokeryesterday, and took down his evidence and
that of his son Thomas. The irequest was adjourned in
order that an suable might be made of • sample of the
oil. The rector stated in his evidence that when about
twenty or thirty yards from the house be saw • girl run
out with her clothes on fire. He took off his topcoat, put
it round her, and threw her down in the street. Two
other girls then came running towards him, both with
their clothes also on fire. He took off his under-cost and
put it round one of them, but some time elapsed before
the third could be thrown down. Other persons then came
up, and he could recollect no more. The following are the
names of the killed and injured :—Killed :—Mary &oho..
16 years old ; John Stokoe, 10 years old. Not expected to
live :—Ellen Stokoe, 44 years old; Catherine Swinbank,
servant, 14 years old; Isabella Taylor, 15, cousin to Mr.
Stokoe. Expected to einem :—William Stokoe, 51 years
old ; Elizabeth Stokoe, 20 years old ; Thomas Stokoe, 13

No bullion operations have occurred at the
Bank to-day.
At Paris this morning the Three per Cent.
Beiges opened at Mfr. for the account, being 3c.
lower than yesterday.
The reign of distrust is not yet over, but
as no tangible fact of a disquieting character
is presented, and as the views professed by
all the European governments are eminently
;Ac, the market is naturally acted upon
by the absorption of stock for invest-
ment. This absorption has been perhaps more
clearly manifested during the present vacation
period, when lees than the usual disturbance is
occasioned by mere speculators. Only secu-
rities of the highest class, however, arc
sought after, some timidity being dis-
played in taking even the boat dividend-
paying foreign stocks. Nevertheless it is certain
that the market is being gradually relieved of the
stock which for a long time past has been pressing
upon it ; and thus, no doubt, it will gradually
be placed in a position to absorb further issues, if
they arc brought forward under proper conditions.
The debentures of good home railways, which
some months ago could be obtained at rates show-
ing 41 to 3 per cent. on the investment, can now
be ;bought to pay little more than 4. These evi-
dences of the absorbing power of the public en-
courage a hope that more animation will prevail
after the conclusion of the holidays.

The following is from the report of the directors
of the National Bank of India (Limited), to be
presented at the general meeting on the 22nd inst :
The directors have the pleasure to submit to their co-
pioprietors the annexed balance sheet and profit and loss
statement of the bank for the half year ending June 30,
186$. It will be seen that the net profits, after providing
for all charges, rebates, and interest due to the public,
amount to 22,3631. Be. 10d. ; which, with 3,0641. 4s. hi.
brought forward from last half year's profits, shows
243,4171. 12a. 11d. now available for distribution. The
directors propose to appropriate this amount as follow":

The directors have much satisfaction in stating that the
booke of the bank continue free frcm bed or doubtful
debts. The business of the bank continues steadily to
increase.

At the eighth ordinary meeting of the Surrey
Commercial Dock Company, held yesterday, the
report of the directors was unanimously adopted.
and a dividend of 3 per cent. declared on the ordi-
nary stock of the company for the six months
ending the 30th August last. The dividend will
be payable on and after the 3th of October.
The following is from the Hop and Malt
Exehange Company,of Southwark-street, Borough :
There was a fair attendance at the Exchange to-day,
Maidstone market, however, preventing the attendance of
many who weald otherwise have been present. Notwith-
standing the continued inactive state of the hop trade, a
moderate amount of business was transacted. The fol-
lowing are the quotation :—Bast and West Rents, 80a. to
; Swim, 40e. to Stie. ; Bavarian; 90s. to 110 a, Oats,
English limn, and oil cake realised full irkee. The next

The alteration in the ooin and bullion is unim-
portant. A stagnant condition of business is in-
dicated by the further falling off in the discounts.
and little improvement can be looked for as keg
as the commercial community continue exposed to
modem alarms of war.

This return shows that the Bank is increasing its
resources in proportion as its business declines.
Thus, while the advances on private securities have
fallen off 91,8361., the reserve of notes and coin has
increased 270,344/. Mome small addition has beta
made to the government balance, but the total is
still below 4,000,000/., although the end of the
quarter is at hand, and the October dividends will
soon fall due. That Lombard-street is taking the
chief part of the discount business may be inferred
from the withdrawals of private deposits. Con-
sidering the additions to the bullion and the re-
serve, with the diminution of liability on circula-
tions and deposits, the Bank is still gaining
strength, and ts well prepared to meet the tempo-
rary needs of the government. The inoreass
in the coin and bullion accords almost exactly with
the movements reported from day to day.
