3. A Cash Balance of £370,000.
The present net income, available for dividend amongst

The Directors of the Hudson's Bay Company are as under
The Right Honourable Sir Edmund Head, Bart., K.C.B
(late Governor-Genera' of Canada), Governor.
Curtis Miranda Lampson, Esq. (C. M. Lampson and Co.),
Deputy Governor.

Daniel Meinertzhagen, Esq. (F. Huth and Co.).

The Hudson's Bay Company were incorporated under a
Royal Ch irter granted by -King Charles 11. in 1670 by the
name of " The Governor and Companof Adventurers of
England trading into Hudson's Bay," and, by the Charter,
a vast tract of territory was vested in the Company, together
with the sole right of trade and commerce, and all " mines
royal," as well then discovered as not discovered, within the
said territory.
The operations of the Company, which, with slight excep-
tions, have been hitherto exclusively of a trading character,
have been prosecuted from the date of the charter to the pre-
sent day.
It has become evident that thetime has arrived when those
operations must be extended, and the immense resources of
the Company's territory, lying as it does between Canada
and uritish Columbia, should be developed in accordance
with the industrial spirit of the age, and the rapid advance-
ment which colonisation has made in the countries adjacent
to the Hudson Bay territories.
The average net annual profits of the Company (after set-
ting aside 40 per cent. of them as remuneration to the factors
and servants at the Company's posts and stations) for the 10
years ending the 31st May. 1852, amount to £Bl,OOO, or up-
wards of 4 per cent. on the present nominal capital of
£2,000,000. A portion only of this income has been distributed
as dividend, while the remainder is represented in the assets
and balances. The assets of the Company, in which the
Subscribers will be entitled to an interest corresponding to
the amount of their subscriptions, will consist of goods in
the interior, on shipboard, and other stock in trade, includ-
ing shipning business, premises, and other buildings neces-
sary for carrying on the fur trade, in addition to which there
will be funds immediately available for the proposed ex-
tended operations of the Company, derived partly from the
cash balance of the Hudson's Bay Company, and partly from
the new issue of Stock, and amounting in the whole to a sum
not less than £70,000.
The Company's territory embraces an estimated area of
more than 1,400,000 square miles, or 896,000,100 of acres, of
which a large area, on the southern frontier, is well adapted
for European colonisation. The soil of this portion of the
territory is fertile, producing in abundance wheat and other
cereal crops. and is capable of sustaining a numerous po-
pulation. It contains 1,400 miles of n •vigable lakes and
rivers, running for the greater part east and west, which
constitute an important feature in plans for establishing the
means of communication between the Atlantic and Pacific
Oceans, across the continent of British North America,as well
as for immediate settlement in the intervening country. The
territory is, moreover, rich in mineral wealth, including coal,
lead, and iron.
In addition to its chartered territory, the Company possess
the following valuable landed property. Several plots of land
in British Columbia, occupying most favourable sites at the
mouths of rivers, the titles to which have been confirmed by
her Majesty's Government; farm., building sites in Van-
couver's Island; and in Canada, ten square miles at Lacloche,
on Lake Huron, and tracts of land at fourteen other places.
The trading operations of the Company are chiefly carried
on in the fur bearing and northern portion of the territory,
where the climate is too severe for European colonisation.
These trading operations will be actively continued and, as
far as possible, extended, whilst the management will be
judiciously economised.
Consistently with these objects, the outlying estates and
valuable !Arms will be realised where the land is not required
for the use of the Company—the southern district will be
opened to European colonisation, under a liberal and syste-
matic scheme of land settlement. Possessing a staff of factors
and officers who are distributed in small centres of civilisation
over the territory, the Company can, without creating new
and costly establishments, inaugurate the new policy of colo-
nisation, and at the same time dispose of milling grants.
With the view of providing the means of telegraphic and
postal communication between Canada and British Columbia,
across the Company's territory, and thereby of connecting
the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans by an exclusively British
route. negotiations have been Pending* for some time past be-
tween certain parties and her Majesty's Government and the
representatives of the Government of Canada, and prelimi-
nary arrangements for the accomplishment of these objects
have been made through her Majesty's Government (subject
to the final sanction of the Colonies), based upon a five per
cent. guarantee from the Government of Canada, British
Columbia, and Vancouver Island. In further aid of these Im-
perial objects, her Majesty's Government have signified their
Intention to make grants of land to the extent of about
1,000,001 acres, in portions of the Crown territory traversed
by the proposed telegraphic line.
One of the first objects of the Company will be to examine
the facilities and consider the best means for carrying out
this most important work, and there can be little doubt that
it will be successfully executed either by the Hudson's Bay
Company itself, or with their aid and sanction.
For this, as well as for the other proposed objects, Mr. Ed-
ward Watkin, who is now in Canada, will be commissioned,
with other gentlemen speoially qualified for the duty, to
visit the Red River and southern districts, to consult the
Officers of the Company there. and to report as to the bes
and safest means of giving effect to the contemplated opera-
tions.

way Terminus, at King's-cross.
Patron—The QUEEN.
President—The Duke of BUCCLEUCH, K.G. •
Treasurer—Edward Masterman, Esq.
This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free
and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for-
mality of governors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti-
tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom-
panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient
magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered
capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of i
the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the
funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of
these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover,
it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more,
on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.
The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an
EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support,
to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that
daily present themselves.

APPEAL.
The Committee of Management have to state that, since
the beginning of the year 1860, the Royal National Lifeboat
Institution has expended £32,000 on various Lifeboat Estab-
lishments on the Coasts of England, Scotland. and Ireland.
The number of lives saved by the Life-boats of the
Society, and other means, since its formation, is 12,800 ;
tor which services 82 Gold Medals, 718 Silver Medals, and
£16,480 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu-
tion nas also expended £67,000 on Life-boats, Life-boat
Transporting-can iages, and Boat-houses.
The Committee desire to express their grateful servec of
the generous support which they have received from the
British public during the past few years, a support which
has enabled them to establish their present magnificent fleet
of 123 Lifeboats on the shores of the United Kingdom.
Deeply sensible, however, of the great responsibility that
rests on them to maintain their fleet in a thoroughly efficient
state, and its Crews practised in the management of their
boats, which can only be effected by a large and permanent
annual income, they earnestly appeal to all classes of their
countrymen to aid them in upholding and perpetuating so
great and truly national a work.

Forging by Photography.

At the Mansion House Police-court, yesterday, Peter
Rineldi, a foreigner, underwent a final examination before
the Lord Mayor on a charge of being concerned in a forgery
on the Imperial Bank of Vienna —Mr. Sleigh was counsel
for the prosecution, and the prisoner was defended by Mr.
Gleed, an attorney.—John M'Quire, a photographer, at 4,
Aldgate, said the prisoner, who was a stranger to him,
called upon him about. 7 o'clock on the evening of Thursday,
the 18. h of June, and asked to see some sin cirnens of pho-
tography. Witness, who was then in a back room on the
first floor, showed him several specimens, and after inspect-
ing them the prisoner said Le would not have Lis portrait
taken
then, but would call the following day. He left, and
next day, about 12 o'clock, he called and had his portrait
taken.rt,,

That done, he asked if witness could copy works of

were some customers present, and he said hneo

until they had gone. Oa, their leaving the prisoner said ho
wanted to speak privately to witness, who replied, "All
right; I'm ready." He told witness to fasten the door, which
he did. The prisoner then took from a pocket-book a one-
gulden note, and asked him if he would copy it. Mrs.
M'Quire being in the room, the prisoner asked if she was his
wife, artd was• answered in the affirmattre: On witness
telling him that he could copy the note, the prisoner said
he would give him an order for 1,000 copies, and that if ho
liked the manner in which it was done he would bring him
two notes of greater value to be copied. He then asked
witness if the paper could be procured in London, and, on
being told that it could, the prisoner said that, in that event,
they could make their fortunes; but, if it could not, he
should get it from abroad. He charged 'witness not to allow
any living being to see the note, except his wife, who had
seen it. Witness told him that he should see an impression
of the note on Monday morning. The prisoner then left,
and witness went to the Seething-lane police-station, and
made a communication on the subject to the inspector on
duty. In accordance with the prisoner's instructions he
made the photograph now produced of the note upon glass,
and from which impressions could be taken by a certain
process. On Monday afternoon he saw from his shop the
prisoner walking about on the opposite side of the street a
long time. The prisoner did not come; n, but, about nine
o'clock in the evening witness was standing at his shop
door, after he had left off work, when the prisoner came up
and shook hands with him. Witness asked him if he would
go and take a glass of ale; upon which the prisoner pulled
him on one side and said, "We must not let them hear,"
alluding to some people in the shop. Witness and he went
towards Jewry-street, and on the way the prisoner asked him
if he had copied the note. Witness said he had; upon which
the prisoner inquired if the impression was a good one.
On being assured that it was, he said he had got some
more notes of greater value for him to do. " Very good,"
was the answer; and having taken a glass of ale together
at a tavern witness asked him to go to his house with him
and look at the impression, which he did. He compared the
copy closely with the note and approved it very much. He
then asked witness's wife to shut the door, saying he did
not wish anybody to see them. Remarking that it was a
"dry job," he gave witness half a crown, and asked him
to go and get a bottle of gin with it. Witness left for
that purpose, but was detained some time. The prisoner
met him in the street and said he had left six gold
Napoleons and a half with his wife, together with a five-
gulden and a ten-gulden note. Of these notes he asked
witness to make photographic impressions, and then get
the impressions engraved on copper, and also that of the
note which witness had already copied. He then talked
about their travelling together and making their fortunes in
six months. He charged witness to be careful not to let the
police know, or they should both be ruined. Witness said,
"0, no, I'll take care of that," and they parted. On going
home his wife showed him the two notes and the six and a-
half Napoleons. About 9 o'clock next night the prisoner
called on him again. Witness was sitting with his wife in
a back room on the first floor. The prisoner fastened the
door when ho came in. Mrs. M'Quire remarked that they
thought they had lost him. The prisoner said he had been
lying in bed all day, for he had heard something, and was
afraid the police had become acquainted with the affair. lie
asked if witness had said anything about it. Witness re-
plied that was not likely. The prisoner then asked if he had
taken the other two impressions. His wife said he had been
too busy. The prisoner began talking about their travelling
with him on the continent, and after they had made their
fortunes, going to America or Australia, where they would
be safe from discovery. Just at that moment a knock was
heard at the door, and detective Scott put his head inside.
Witness turned round to see who it was, and then followed
the officer down stairs and made a communication to him.
Scott, accompanied by Monger, another detective officer,
then returned into the room with him and took the pri-
soner into custody. The impression on glass was then on
a table in the room, as were also the notes in an envelope.
On being cross-examined, witness said the impression on
glass was not what was called a negative, but he could turn
it into a negative and taxe copies from in—Chevalier Igna-

MORMON CONVERTS.—Within the last two weeks
nearly 1,500 Mormon emigrants have landed at New York

the labourers of Northern Europe—American Paper.

CRIME OF 1862.—The indictable crimes com-
mitted in England in the year ending Michaelmas,
1262, so far as known to the police, were 53,225 in number
—an increase of 41 per cent over the previous year. The
catalogue includes 124 murders, 63 attempts to murder, and
698 instances of injuries done with intent to do serious
harm ; all these aro considerably larger numbers than in the
previous year. In Lancashire the increase was 8 per cent.
By an inconvenient arrangement these police returns aro
for the year ending at Michaelmas, but the return of crimi-
nal proceedings is for the year proper, ending with Decem-
ber, This latter return shows that in 1862 20,000 persons
were committed for trial in England—an increase of 9•1 per
cent, following an increase of 12.7 per cent in 1861. But
