Whether well or ill-founded,

misfortunes of the Galway line are 013 g a psis
mismanagement, and the chargt
of mismanagement
is laid openly upon the shouldeJs of the English
board of directors, who, it is alleged, arrange mat-
ters in such a way that nothing ca,l
go right, and
everything must go wrong. This is Inc burden' of
articles in the Irish limes, Evening 3L.i/, and other
journals, which contrast the success and prosperity
of Irish banks, railways, and other steam coopt‘niest
under Irish management with those of kindred con-
cerns under native management in England, in
proof that, if the headquarters of the Atlantic Co
in-
pany were in Dublin or Galway, and not in Live.
and that the company's managers were Irish
art, i not English merchants and men of business, alt

What is thought of the Anglia's acci-
dent in the City .of the Tribes may be gathered from
the following rem,lrks made on Thureday at a
meeting of the harbour commissioners by Mr.
Tierney, a member of the board. He (Mr.
Tierney) considered it would not be right: for the

allow it to go forward that the passage to our
road-
stead is either difficult or dangerous. He (Captain
Prowse) came into.Galway at different times, bot ,
day and night, yet he never found this difficulty
until he hit on it; he would ask what advantage it
would be to him to come up some nine miles ; a few
hours could be of no great moment; he could re-
main at anchor until daylight; if he did so, his ship
might be safe and sound. He (Mr. Tierney) would
say a great deal more, but he did not like to advance
statements which he could not vouch for. The pilot
(Mr. Oliver) was out on that night; he caw the
ship's lights, and signalled her, but perhaps he was
not seen ; and after following the vessel in an open
boat for three miles he had to return through
stress of weather. He must say that the course
pursued by the company is most condemnatory
in not sending their vessels a day or two before,
the day of sailing, to take their posts here, and
thereby allow such ample time for the passengers to
embark, instead of hurrying five or six hundred
souls at a few hours' notice on board a vessel to
undergo a long and perilous voyage across the
Atlantic. In conclusion, he had only to hope that
no person would be taken in by the miserable state-
ment of Capt. Prowse. Captain B. Forster said ho
saw the pilot's light from his own house, and saw
her follow the ship. Mr. Tierney said it was evi-
dent the captain did not steer his proper course.
THE CIfY OF DUBLIN STEAM PACKET COMPANY.

The half-yearly meeting of the City of Dublin Steam-
packet Company was held yesterday. A satisfactory report:
was presented, recommending the payment of a dividend
of 3 per cent. for the half-year. The principal subject
brought before the shareholders by the directors was tho
still unsettled dispute with the Government respecting the
works at Holyhead, and which a committee of the House of
Commons reported upon last year. It appears that, not-
withstanding the recommendations of the committee,
nothing whatever has been done at Holyhead to remove
the just causes of complaint on the part of the company.
The conduct of the Government in the matter is extraordi-
nary and indefensible, as we have already observed ; and
we trust that when Parliament again meets the same
power which the House of Commons exerted last session
to extort the appointment of a committee of inquiry will
be employed with equal success in enforcing its report.
THE ROYAL DUBLIN SOCIETY AND THE 1864 EXHIBITION.

At the stated general meeting of the Royal Dublin So-
ciety, held on Thursday last, a very important report was
read relative to the exhibition of Irish manufactures, to brr
held in Dublin next year. It appears that a considerable
difference existed between the estimates, both as regards tho
income and expenditure, of the exhibition committee and
the council of the Royal Dublin Society. The exhibition
committee were perhaps somewhat sanguine and estimated
their probable receipts at £9,829, and their outlay at only
£6,740 ; while the council of the Royal Dublin Society set
down the receipts at £6,282, and the expenditure, reduced
to the lowest figure, at £7,257. The exhibition com-
mittee calculated on a profit of £2,440; the council of
the Royal Dublin Society apprehended a loss of £975.
Out of the expenditure the council excluded £2,000 for
covering in the Shelboume yard, and the expenses inci-
dent upon a Fine Arts Exhibition. Whilo the exhibition
committee, encouraged by the great success of the
Fine Arts Exhibition of 1861, desired to add ft
similar attraction to the future exhibition, the committee
also found it absolutely necessary to provide a very largo
amount of space for the exhibition of Irish-made machinery.
Eventually, however, the council passed a resolution to the
effect that permission be given to roofo u
ins Stohelbourne• yard,
and also to extend the exhibition, s
arts gallery, provided the Royal Dublin Society
n .
teed against loss. Nothing can be fairer than this. Tho
Royal Dublin Society aro trustees, and could not incur the
risk of a deficit, nor will they be required to do so. The
guarantee fund already amounts to Z 11,77
sucent to cover the whole of the increasedl—a
expenditure.
This guarantee fund could readily be increasedffi etxsouem£lld2aoim,toupOrlOey,

TETE BANE OF SCOTLAND.--On Friday rumours
were afloat in town to the effect that a forged Li
Boafihdilis ifsrilenrddssil.'t
of the banking establishments of our city, and that a
Bank of Scotland note had been attempted to be passed in
ono
number of spurious notes of the same kind were thought to
be in circulation. The circumstance out of which the
rumour arose is a very simple one, and we make it public
with the view of allaying any anxiety that may exist in
regard to the matter. About thirty years ago, the late Mr.
Lizars engraved a bank-note plate for the Bank of Scot-
land, and when almost finished a proof of the engraving
was cast on fine Indian paper, and being a remarkably
clear and distinct copy it was laid aside, to be used on
future occasions in the event of its being found necessary
to retouch the lines on the engraved plate. This proof of
the LI note was accidently mislaid in Mr. Lizars' office,
and, having fallen into the hands of some one,
was put in
circulation, As the plate had not been finished
when
the
and
proof was printed, the flaw in the note was discovered,
this
it was immediately withdrawn. It will be seenb from
explanation that no apprehension need be felt
of vi
as to there being any more of the same sPeci°
sy the_poutebsliica
existence.—Scotsinan.
