THE CRYSTAL PALACE COMPANY.—The following not
very intelligible paragraph is running toe round of Out
contemporaries :--" At the approaching meeting of the
Crystal Palace Company it will be announced that the
receipts have been sufficient to give, if it were deemed
expedient, a dividend to the shareholders ; as, however,
all the receipts have beon appropriated to other pur-
poses, the directors wisely abstain from paying a divi-
dend out of capital—a minciple which, it is to be hoped,
will not be departed from either in this or any other
public company."—Darl y News.
COURT or SESSION.--At the meeting of the Court on
Tuesday, Mr. Craufurd presented the Queen's letter,
appointing him a Judge in room of Lord Rutherford.
After the usual probationary trials, he will take his seat
on the bench as Lord Ardmillan. Mr. T. Maekenzie
also presented his commission as Solicitor-General, and
was sworn into office. No arran;ement, we believe,
has as yet been made as to a successor to Lord Robert-
! son.—Scotsman.
A WEALTHY BEGGAR--The Dundee parochial autho-
rities have advertised for the heirs of a travelling beggar,
named John M‘Kay, supposed to have belonged origi-
nally to Caithness, who died lately in a lodging-house
in the Hilltown of Dundee, and was buried at the ex-
pense of the parish. The parochial officers found in the
pocket of a coat which had been worn by the deceased a
coarse leather pocket-book, containing six bank deposit
receipts for sums amounting in the whole to 700.—
Edinburgh, Courant.ima
SAVINGS'-BANKS AND FRIENDLY SOCIETIES' INVEST-
MENTS.— A bill to make further provision for the invest-
ment and security of the moneys received by the Com-
missioners for the Reduction of the National Debt
from Savings'-banks and Friendly Societies has been
brought into the House of Commons by Mr. Bouverie,
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Mr. Wilson. It
provides that securities held by the commissioners to
the amount of 21,736,8241. 14s. Bd., Three per Cent.
Annuities, shall be cancelled ; that in place of such se-
to be called the " State Deposit
curities, an accouft,
Accounts, No. 1;" shall be opened in the Exchequer,
to the credit of which shall be placed the sum of
20,000,0001., chargeable upon the Consolidated Fund;
that such sum, as well as all securities held by the
commissioners and not cancelled, shall be subject
to tlie discharge of the legal claims of all savings-
banks and friendly societies, and that interest at
the rate of 3 per cent, upon the account shall be
payable to the commissioners. Power is also given to
the commissioners to invest the moneys received by
them in Government securities, to provide for defi-
ciencies by increasing the amount of the account, or
issuing Exchequer bills or bonds, with the sanction of
the Treasury, and to cancel surplus assets by the reduc-
tion of the State Deposit Account to any sum not less
than two-thirds of the liabilities. The accounts are to
be made up annually to the 20th of November, and to
be laid before Parliament.
