~, At an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Shareholders of this
;Lenipany, held on Wednesday, the 10th of March, 1852, at the
maces of the Company, 65, Moorgate-street, London, Sir R. I.
Routh, K.C.8., President, in te Chair—lt was resolved, that
The Directors are hereby authorised and directed to borrow the
'turn of One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Peunds upon the security
1 1 the Debenture B nids of the Company, in conformity with the
„,ist Clause of the Act of Parliament of Canada, cap. lxiii.Viet.
In accordance with the above resolution, the Directors aro pre-
rar,,ed to receive offers of the whole or part of 100,0001. in sums
'UL and upwards, at the rate of 41/2 per cent. per annum interest,
'4Q for periods of five, seven, or ten years.
The Capital of the Company is 500,0001. in 25,000 Shares of 201.
!ft,ch, of which sum only ft/. per Share is intended to be called up ;
the uncalled capital, 375,0001., remaining as security to these who
IlleY lend money to the Company for the specified periods agreed on.
Under no circumstances will the amount of money received on de.
,_..w°eit exceed the amount of Share Capital uncalled, which of itself
constitute a complete guarantee for the re-pa) meet of depo-its
loans made to the Company. But in adniton to, and distinct
nn, it, the Depositor will have the entire investments of Share and
;Vell Capital in Canada ai a collateral security, and in no case does
atuount lent upon mortgage of land exceed half the marketable
ue of the property appraised by competent persons. Thus if the
,_.'"ebenturc Debt be 375,0001., equal to the uncalled part of the capi-
Lei, and therefore the largest sum that will be raised, it will be se-
jred y mortgages for 500,0001. on real estates of the value of at
east 1b,000,050/.
There is a general registration of deeds relating to Land in Ca-
-14,1
which enables the Company to ascertain with certainty the
Rite of every title offered to them in security for Loan.

IIGHT I-PRIZE MEDAL FOR LAMPS
-4 Clark's Lamps are the best. Their equal is unknown, and
Sr superior may never come. How light, how gay, how bright,
Jonas we feel in light. The sun pours forth its glorious rays to
sadden myriads with its glorious light. It is a remarkable fact that
ft
the Papal kingdoms there is little light, but in Protestant lands
ere ;s mach light. Clark's Diamond Lamps for general use are
the best in the vrcrld Clark's Vertical Lamp far excels the French
oderator Lamp, and all other Lamps constructed with machinery.

Messrs. Taylor and Bright's Circular states :—We have
had another dull week in the corn trade, and to effect tales
some decline has been submitted to on all articles. To-day's
market was rather shortly supplied with wheat by our farmers,
and which met a fair sale at about the rates current last Tues-
day. INothing at all doing in foreign wheat. There is
rather more inquir} for barley, but the general tone of the
market is dull. Other descriptions of spring corn meet a mo.
derate consumptive demand. Linseed supports its enhanced
value, and cakes are unaltered. No transactions in rapeseed,
but for rape cakes a good sale at 2s 6d per ton advance. Bones

Admiral Sir John A. Ommaney. K.C.8., commander
in chief at Devonport, left for London, on leave, on
Monday morning. His flag was struck at sunset, when
toe command of the port devolved on Commodore Say-
tnour,.whose broad pendant was re-hoisted on Monday
inorninz. the gallant officer having returned to his
duties from leave.

Orders were received at Devonport on Monday morn-
ing .to dispatch the Vesuvius, 6, steam-sloop, Com-
mander Barnard, to Portsmouth, immediately, where, it
is reported, Commander Barnard and his crew will be
turned over to the Vixen, steam-sloop, and when ready
will embark a gentleman accredited to the Brazilian Go-
vernment trom this country. The Vixen, after landing
this gentleman. is to be attached to the squadron on that
station. The Vesuvius sailed on Monday afternoon for
the eastward, having bat iu the morning returned from
cruising in the chops of the Channel to relieve the
vessels detained by contrary winds. She takes 70 or 80
supernumeraries for the ships at Portsmouth. Two of
the engineers of the Vesuvius were injured by the ma-
chinery during her recent cruise, one of whom dislocated
his toot, and the other bad his hand seriously cut.
Engineers from the steam reserve at Devonport were
sent on board to supply their places prior to the vessel's
sailing for Portsmouth.
Hecate, steam-sloop, Commander Hand, ordered to
the mouth of the Channel to relieve merchant-vessels,
has not yet returned to port. She was spoken by the
British merchant brig Zeo, in 48 30 N.,8 W. len.
Diligence, naval transport, Master ommander Mit-
chell, sailed, on Monday afvrnoon, from Devonport,
with stores for the four eastern yards.
PORTS3IOI3TH, TUESDAY.—The Superb, 80, Captain
Pursell, was visited this morning at Spithead by Ad-
miral Sir Thomas Briggs, G.0.M.G., the Commander-
in-Chief, and the Earl of Minto. Captain Chads, C. 8.,
of the Excellent, also accompanied the gallant Admiral
in the Sprightly steam-vessel, Mr. G. Allen, Acting
Master, commanding. The Admiral, after inspecting
'he ship, mustered the ship's company, and Captain
Chads exercised them thoroughly in gunnery, and so
far as could be judged from the shore, and taking into
consideration the newness of the science of gunnery to
nine-tenths of her crew, they appeared to be pretty good
shots. The report about paying the Superb off was
premature. The orders at present issued by the Admi-
ralty are to pay the crew " down ;'' but nothing more.
It is therefore probable that this fine ship and her now
well-drilled complement will remain for some time in
commission yet, and do some further service to the
State.

NAVAL ESTIMATES.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Moniteur announces that the disputes between
France and Morocco have been completely settled.
The PRINCE PRESIDENT, on the proposition of the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, has conferred the deco-
ration of Commander of the Legion of Honour on M.
BOURREE, Consul-General and Chargé d'Affaires of
France at Morocco, as a mark of satisfaction at the
important services he has rendered during his mission
at Tanjiers.
The 211oniteur contains a decree regulating the
position of the Senate and Legislative Corps with re-
spect to the President, and the system upon which
their proceedings will be conducted.
Another decree determines that the judges and
magistracy shall take the oath of allegiance to the
PRESIDENT.

The Prince DE Cam No has left Paris for Rome.

M. JANVIER, the Councillor of State, died on
Monday from the attack of apoplexy which he had on
Friday last.
A telegraphic dispatch from Brussels announces
that MM. D'HAUSSONVILLE and THOMAS, accused of
publishing a libel on the PRESIDENT of the French
Republic, in the Moniteur Francais, have been ac-
quitted. The accused were defended by M. BAR
TELS.

We read in the Constitutionnel :—" It is, as already
stated, at the Tuileries, in the Salle des Marechaux,
that the sitting of the Senate and Legislative Body
on the 29th will be held. The PRINCE PRESIDENT,
surrounded by his aides-de-camp, his orderly officers,
his Ministers, and the council of state, will be placed
on a raised platform ; opposite the PRESIDENT of the
Republic will be, on one side the Senate, and on 'the
other the Legislative Body. The PRINCE PRESIDENT
will deliver a speech. A form of an oath will then
be read, and each meniber of the Senate and of the
Legislative Body, on his name being called over,
Will pronounce from his place the words—je le jure !
The clergy, the magistracy, and the diplomatic body
will be represented at this solemnity. A small num-
ber of places will be reserved in an upper gallery
for persons receiving invitations."
The same journal says :—" Certain foreign jour-
nals continue to affirm that there is a regular rush of
persons at the offices of the Minister of Finance, de-
manding reimbursement of Five per Cent. Stock.
At noon yesterday, there were only twenty persons
at those offices, and half of them were either there
from curiosity, or bad accompanied their friends."
The Bourse was firm, with lirtle business doing.
The Five per Cents. opened at 100 f. 25c., and closed at
the same price for the end of the month; the Three

SPORTING NOTES.
No. CXCIV.
THE NORTHAMPTON MEETING, &e.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Singular to relate, the present meeting at
Northampton seems very likely to pass away without
giving the Ring the benefit of a few heavy showers of
rain, a circumstance that has not occurred, to my know-
ledge, for the last seven or eight years. The course is
very hard, and very likely to give the tender footed
ones a slight shaking. My accounts received up to
eleven o'clock this morning advise me that the following
will be the fields for to-morrow's races:—
Earl Spencer's Plate—The Prime Minister, Heart-
breaker, Thornhill, Forrester, Layburne, Serus, Colt by
Prince Caradoc, Lady Agnes (d), Timid Fawn, Free-
dom, Water Lily, Butterfly, filly by Ballinkeele out of
Dart, and gelding by Don John, dam by Priam.
Catalpa is as yet the only declared non-starter.
The Althorn Park Stakes—King David, Balloon;
Stone Plover (d), Nathan, colt by Assault. dam by
Lanercost, Postulant, Rumour, Sister to Iracandus,
aAelctolutunde,
twGhaletenvaevro.n, anfiperaapsone
Whalebone,
Go or two hr
1.10
oOltasesess,of noand
Heliogabalus are on the missing list.
Northamptonshire Cup Stakes--Clothworker, Abdal-
lab, Milkboy (d), Brother to Willingham, Paddy Bird,
and Pancake. Chief Justice and Mark Tapley, I believe,
do not run.

Delapre Stakes—Black Doctor, Incurable, Trinket
(d), Edward of York, Paddy Bird (d), Hambletonian
Loophole, and Tumbler.

Innkeepers' Plate—Ballet Girl, Milkboy (d), Avia (d),
Fochabers, and Passion colt.

My opinion on the Althorp Park Stakes I can render
more positive than before, by stating that there is little
doubt but that Nat on GLENAVON will catch the judges'
eye first, and that Altitude and the Assault colt will be
the nearest in attendance.

Not knowing whether CLOTHWORKER is to be the
money horse for the Cup Stakes or nor, in his absence I
must look to Pct`ncake or. Paddy Bird for the winner;
and ex::ect to see Brother to Willingham close up.
The Innkeepers' Plate I consider a foregone conclusion
in favour of FOCHABERB or BALLET UIEL; the former
for choioe.

lam still of the opinion I expressed on Monday with
respect to Earl Spencer's Plate, preferring the PRIME
MINISTER, with all his weight, to the crack Dart filly or
Freedom; but as he has shown specimens of want of
heart on several occasions latterly, if he should be des-
tined to be beaten, I fancy it will be by the Prince Ca-
radoc colt or Freedom, and that the foremost portion of
the rest will consist of Timid Fawn and the Dart filly.
The betting this morning is brisk, the principal busi-
ness being on to-day's events, which I need not record.
The prices on to-morrow's races rule as follow:—De-
lapre Stakes-2 to 1 agst Paddy Bird, 3to 1 agst the
Black Doctor. Earl Spencer's Plate-3 to 1 agst Free-
dom, 5 to 1 agst Dart filly; 6 to 1 agst Layborne; 6 to 1
egst Prince Caradoc colt, 7 to 1 agat the Prime Minister,
7 to 1 agst Thornhill, 8 to 1 agst Heartbreaker, 8 to 1 spit
Timid Fawn, 10 to 1 agat Forester, 10 to 1 agst Butter-
fly, 50 to 1 agat Catalpa. Althorp Park Stakes-2 to 1
egst Glenavon, 3 to 1 and 5 to 2 taken freely; little or
nothing doing about any other; Rumour and Assault
colt talked about, 10 to 1 would be taken about either;

10 to 1 offered agst the Fyfield couple. Cup Stakes-
-3 to 1 each agst Pancake and Brother to Willingham;
nothing else mentioned. Innkeepers' Plate-3 to 1
each agst Fochabero and Ballet Girl, taken freely; 5 to 1
any other.

Through the imperfect caligraphy of my "man of
business," a most ridiculous mistake occurred in yester-
day's note in reference to the Whittlebury Stakes, which
made out that Early Bird, who has been dead some time,
was a starter and backed at 10 to 1; it should have been
King David who is the starter in question, and who was
supported at 10 to 1 to a good bit of money.
I am, Sir, yours, &c.,

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—The Africa of the 10th
instant brings advices corroborating the Baltic's report
•
of a gain of ie. to
-lc, per lb. to the sellers of cotton in
the New York and southern markets. But we have
also a statement that the latest telegraphic announce-
, ment was that of a decline of ic. (from Bc. to 7ic. for
" middling") had occurred on the Bth at New Orleans.
The receipts were heavy, viz. 130,867 bales in the
week against 78,148 in the corresponding week of
last year, and the total receipts 1,909,344 bales against
1,689,136 in 1851. The exports to Great Britain in the
last week were 70,734 bales against
46,167 in the same
week of 1851, the total exports 688,126 against 547,862;
and the increase of the exports was likely to continue
for some weeks. Opinion was more decidedly in favour
of the larger estimates of the crop, say
bales at least. These accounts, 2,800,000
together with
a change in the direction of the wind which
must rapidly bring in large accumulations of cotton
• on the seas, and also taken in connexion with an
excess over last rear of nearly 180,000 bales in the es-
timated stock of Liverpool, have sensibly checked that
return of buoyancy which showed itself in our market
at the latter end of last week; again exhibiting our sen-
sitiveness to any alteration in the raw material, whether
proceeding from temporary or more permanent causes.
Buyers have become more chary and sellers less indif-
ferent about business. The day's transactions have
therefore been comparatively small in yarns; and water
twist may be had at a decline of fully id. per lb. in
most of its counts and forms. Mule yarns, being rela-
tively in better request, are not equally affected. The
quotations for goods are unchanged, as there continues
to be a pretty good, thongh somewhat diminished,
demand for various descriptions. However, the general
impression is, that no lasting decline is cotton will now
take place ; and that our own prices will only be tem-
porarily affected. We learn that at Blackburn the
weavers in some establishments have turned out on ac-
count of a dispute, not strictly in connexion with wages.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—The flannel market has been
worse, if poskible, than it was last week. The needy
manufacturer has been obliged to force a sale by taking
lower prices, which has a tendency to make the wool
dealer more cautious in diEposing of the raw material, as
he is generally the sufferer by such proceedings. Wool
warehouses;iin
has maintained its former price, but has been purchased
very sparingly.
judging.HUDDEßSFlELD,thedulnessweek;SATUßDAY.—Thereandworstedeither
effectsales,atthanthat from
appearances,
confidence in the stability of the spring trade is gaining
ground. Fancy trouserings and light descriptions of
vestinge have been called for to-day ; and a fair quantity
of broad superfine have met with sale. There has also
been rather more doing in the wool warehouses.
MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—Oat manufacturers have
been doing a little more business, but prices are unsa-
tisfactory. We are sorry to have to report another
failure of a silk manufacturer in this town, who stopped
payment yesterday. His liabilities are currently
stated to be 10,0001. The Macclesfield silk trade have
had established during the last three years a local board
of trade for the purpose of regulating the prices of
weaving, which consisted of twelve manufacturers and
twelve weavers; Mr. Samuel Higginbotham, solicitor,
as the chairman. On :Monday eveniag last it was
given up by the manufacturers, who have long treated
it with indifference. A meeting was called by cir-
culars to all manufacturers in the town, and
seven only attended; and it was unanimously agreed
not to meet the operatives. A strike is anticipated
in consequence. In the thrown silk market a moderate
business is doing, at prices which would not be at all
remunerative from present rates of raw material. Raw
Silk—The market is very firm, with an upward ten-
dency in China silk; the small quantity remaining in
the hand of importers is generally held for an advance on
current rates.

COMMISSION OF LUNACY ON A TRINITY-HOUSE
PlLOT.—Yesterday morning a commission of lunacy was
opened before Mr. Commissioner Barlow, at the Green Man
Hotel, Bethnal-green, to inquire into the state of mind of
Thomas Charles Voy, a Trinity House pilot, late of Com-
mercial-road, and now an inmate of Dr. Phillips's Lunatic
Asylum, Bethnal-green. Mr. Voy, on entering the room,
said, in answer to " Good morning," by the Commissioner,
" Don't be too fast ; I'll see." The Commissioner—Aye,
slow and sure. Mr. Voy—No; I was born before I was
sure. The unfortunate man. who appeared to be in robust
health, of the middle age, walked round the room, repeating,
" I was born before I was sure. I am God Almighty."
And, recognising his father in the corner of the room, he
approached him, and seizing him by the hand, exclaimed
violently, " This is God Almighty, the father of his son, who
I am ;" and then, going round the apartment, he said to the
Commissioner, "You are the man of Ephraim, and you
(turning to a iuror) are Samson; I have fought for him—l

MURDER 01' A CHILD
DT ITS FATIIER.—An inquest
was held on Wednesday upon the body of a child four years
old, named.
Catherine Swiney. The inquest was held in the
South Main-street. It appeared from the evidence that the
deceased was the child of a man named Edward Swiney, who
lived in Simmon's-lane, and, having been out of employment,
had been for some time supported by the charity of the So-
ciety of St. Vincent de Paul. On Tuesday, while Swiney's
wife was out of the house, it appeared that he strangled the
child by tying a skein of black thread tightly round her
throat. The child was found lying dead in the cradle with

EXECUTION OF A BANKRUPT.—At noon, on the
10th inst., just as the Exchange at Hamburgb, crowded with
merchants, presented its business aspect, two drummers in
the civic uniform came up and rolled their drums for the
space of ten minutes, causing a great commotion both
within and out of the Bourse. While this was going on,
workmen were seen over the principal gateway of the build-
ing elevating a black board, en which was painted in white
letters the name of a merchant of the city who had lately
suspended payments and absconded with all his assets. When the name had been fairly set up, a bell called the
" schand glocke" or shame bell, only rung on such occasions,
was sounded for two hours from a tower of the Bourse. This

were also burnt by the hangman.
