The directors of the East London Bank have
determined upon ince:wising their capital from
£600,000 to £1,000,000, by the issue of 8,000 addi
tional shares of £5O each, at a premium of £1 10s.
per share, to existing proprietors in the proportion
of two for every three shares now held. The calls
already arranged are two in number, one of £2 013
the Ist February, end Vie other of £2 10s. in April
next, together with a deposit of £2 on the 4th
proximo. The amount that will be obtained by
the premium will be appropriated to the formation
of a reserve fund.

The directors of the Oil Wells Company of
Canada, satibfisd by the personal visit of one of their
board, and by the reports of their special commis-
sioners sent out from England to Canada, that it
would not be for the interest of the shareholders
to acquire possession of the oil wells and lands
(2,948 acres) in Western Canada, for the purchase of
which at £25,000 they had previsionally contracted,
and subsequently learning from their local agents
that many of the most productive wells in oil
springs' districts had ceased yielding any supply
except by the expensive process of pumping, have
recommended, in a circular recently issued, the re.
turn to the shareholders the amount of subscribed
c tpital without any deduction whatever, and the
dissolution of the company. The deposits are now
in course of repayment.

isTHE GHOST CLUB" at the
CANTERBURY HALL—New and Interesting
Spectral Tableaux.—Mr. C. MORTON is enabled to announce
that, through the medium of Professor Pepper's World of
Shadows, a "GHOST CLUB" is nightly held at the CAN-
TERBURY II AIL. The object of the Club is not the re-
peopling of the Haunted Houses of. London ; but, through
the agency of Phantoms, to present vivid (if transient)
pictures of the drama of real lite, both In its serious
and mirthful aspects ; and, by means of spectral tableaux,
to recall, and still further impress on the mind, some
of the teachings or pleasantries of the best writers. At pre-
sent, the two orders of Slavery—the Slavery of the South,
and the " White" Slavery of a more boastful civilisation,
receive emphatic illustration ; and these life pictures will be
rapidly replacel by others. The pages of Shakspere and the
elder Dramatists, of Scott, Hood, Ingoldsby, Dickens, &c.,
in turns, furnish subjects for illustration.
All the other Musical and Pictorial attractions as usual,
including Operatic Selections. &c. ; Comedy by Unsworth

Showing a majority in favour of Lord Derby of fifteen
votes. In point of fact, there is strong reason to believe
that when the day of account arrives, as soon it will be, the
Whigs will be driven out by a majority even larger than
this.

The following table has been drawn up from year to year,
and may, I think, be relied upon :

It is not a little noticeable that the pure Whigs (save
the word I) are invariably the chief sufferers by electoral
changes. Fewer Whig vacancies are filled by Whigs than
occurs in the case of any other parties.

TELE CONDEMNED MURDERER IN KIRKDALE
GAOL.—Few criminals who have been inmates of
the condemned cell at Kirkdale gaol have exhibited such
cheerfulness and firmness as the matt Charles. He eats
and sleeps well, and converses freely with all who approach
him. It is very clear, from observations that have fallen
from him since his trial, that he never expected the jury
would convict him of the murder. On Friday he intimated
his desire to communicate with Mr. Pope, the learned coun-
sel who defended him, upon the subject of a memorial being
got up and sent to the Queen, asking that his life may be
spared. He was informed, either by the learned counsel or
another gentleman connected with the legal profession, that
it would be of no use to send a memorial to her Majesty ;
that the only thing which would be likely to affect the sen-
tence was for him to prove that he was not with the unfor-
tunate woman on the night of the alleged murder. „On tilt s
information being conveyed to Charles, he said he rawit. in-
duce some of his friends " outside" to get
tip a petition,
expressing at the same time his belief that it theorel.ra t
stances under which he had been convicted were fully se
forth snd explained in the petition, the sentence of the
law
would not be carried out,—Manchester Guai

There was a better supply of fat beasts to-day, and the

last week. The number of sheep and lambs were in large
show, and they sold better. Fat calves were scarce. The

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ANNOYING A TRADESMAN.—Martha Ann Rose, a
shabbily-dressed woman, and John Berry, a rough-looking
fellow, were charged before Mr. Knox with disorderly con-
duct, and annoying Mr. W. Rose, naval and military tailor,
of 2, Norris-street, Haymarket, the husband of the first-
named defendant.

Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap-
peared for the complainant, and from the learned gentle-
man's statement, borne out by his client, it appeared that
the complainant was married to bis wife when he was an
apprentice boy. After being married about two years the
complainant found that his wife consorted with other men.
He then left her, and had been separated from her about 30
years, but about six years ago she was taken into custody
for annoying her husband, and bound over at the Clerken-
well Po:ice-court to keep the peace towards him. Yester-
day, accorupahied by the man Berry, she went to the corn-
a's

out,"and
ngaont t
persons. The
man also swore that he would have " the - house down"
if Mr. Rose did not let his wife have some money.
The wife said she wanted to ask the magistrate whether
her husband could not be compelled to keep her ?
Mr. Knox said that if a husband deserted his wife the
proper way was to make herself chargeable to the parish/
and then an investigation would take place ; but if the hus-
band was able to show that his wife had been living in
adultery, the parish would have no hold, and the wife no
claim on her husband, and that was what he (Mr. Knox)
believed would turn out to be the case. As the wife had
been quiet for six years, he would take her own recognisance;
but if she annoyed her husband again, she would be put
under heavy bail. He should fine the man 20s.
The wife said her husband had been living with a female,
and had been guilty of adultery.
Mr. Lewis said that, in fairness to Mr. Rose, he wished
to state that there was no truth in the wife's statement.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS IN THE METROPOLITAN CATTLE-

MARKET.
Mr. Noun's, M.P., said that as a good deal of interest
had been created in the mind of the public by the reports
that had appeared in the newspapers of proceedings at dif•
ferent police-courts, in which drovers had been convicted of
the most brutal ill treatment of cattle entrusted to their
charge at the new cattle-market, he wished to put a ques-
tion to the chairman of the markets improvement committee
upon the subject. It had been stated that the corporation
were, to some extent, to blame in the watter, as they granted
fresh licenses to persons who had been convicted of cru-lty.
and he wished to know whether there was any foundation
for this statement, and whether the committee had taken
any steps to prevent such acts of cruelty from being com-
mitted in future.

Mr. H. L. TAYLOIL, the chairman of the markets im-
provement committee, said he was very glad the question
had been asked, as it gave him an opportunity of correct-
ing a good deal of misapprehension that had been created
upon the subject by the reports that had been alluded to.
He could assure the Court that the committee were
most anxious to prevent cruelty from being exercised to
the animals in the market, and they co-operated with the
officers of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty of Ani-
mals, with that view, and also employed two sergeants and
12 additional policemen to attend the market on the market •
days for the purpose of carrying out those regulations.
(Hear, bear.) With regard to the charge made against the
committee of having granted fresh licenses to drovers who
had been convicted of cruelty, he could say that this had
never been done, except in two or three cases, and in one of
them the party was clearly proved to have been wrongfully
convicted, and in the others the offence was of a trivial
character, and the license was renewed upon the application
of the man's own master. He would add that the committee
had moat anxiously consid,red the subject, and were
determined to do all in their power to prevent cruelty being
practised upon the animals brought to the market over
which they had control. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. Nonurs and several other members of the court
expressed themselves perfectly satisfied with the explana-
tion that had been given, and the matter then dropped.

THE GUILDIIALL.

Mr. JOHN KELDAY moved—" That it be referred to a
special ward committee to consider whether any, and if any
what, improvement can be effected in the arrangements in
and about the Guildhall and the several offices connected
therewith. That such committee do ascertain the entire
area of the premises, and obtain plans and estimates as to
the cost of reconstructing or altering all or any of the ex-
isting buildings, so as better to adept them to the general
business purposes of the corporation, and also to obviate the
necessity of incurring the very large expenses which are
required on every public occasion, for special entertainment
or otherwise, and to report generally thereon, and on any
existing circumstances which may facilitate the professed
object. And fur her, that the report cf the city land c
mittee of the 31st July, 1362, so far as related to the works
not at present contracted for, be referred to the said special
committee, and that, in the meantime, such works be not
proceeded with."
The motion was seconded by Mr. R. N. PHILLIPS,
Mr. H. L. TAYLOR thought his friend's mode was
rather toe circumscribed, and moved an amendment similar
to the original motion, but intended to give the committee
wider powers.
A discussion ensued, and

Mr. KELDAY in his reply said he thought his motion was
sufficient to answer the purpose desired. He had advisedly
not been too explicit in his motion ; but, at the same time,
if it were looked at attentively, it would be found to meet
all the requirements of the case ; nevertheless, if the court
wished it, he was quite willing to adopt an alteration to
meet Mr. Taylor's views.
The amendment was put to the Court and negatived, and
the original motion with a slight verbal alteration, was
eventually carried unanimously.
The Court then proceeded to nominate a ward committee,
consisting of the aldermen present, and one member for
I each ward; and then adjourned.

in the immediate vicinity of the Great Northern Rail-

Patron—The QUEEN.
President—The Duke of BUCCLEIICIT, K.G.
Treasurer—Edward Masterman, Esq.

This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free
end 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-
pc.nied 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
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 edmit and relieve the distressing cases that
daily present themselves.

THE RAISING OP HOLBORN VALLEY.

Deputy FRY brought up a report from the improvement
committee in reference to the raising of the Holborn
valley, with a view to remedy the inconveniences of the
present steep ascent at that spot.
Ths report was read, and after alluding to the various
Acts of Parliament thit had been passed giving powers to
the corporation to raise money for the purpose of eff,, cting
important improvements in the Ci y of London, concluded
by recommending that the committee should be authorised
by the court to advertise for designs, plans, and estimates
for raising Holborn valley, and to offer premiums of £250
and £l5O respectively for the two most approved designs,
this being one of the most important improvements required
for the benefit of the public and the requirements of com-
merce.

moDtieopnu.ty FRY made a few observations in support of the

Some members wished to know whether there was to be
any understanding with regard to the description of im-
provement t 1 at was intended to be effected, and whether it
included the idea of a viaduct ?
Mr, H. L. TAYLOR said that the object the committee had
in view was clearly to obtain the best plan. (Hear, hear.)
He had no doubt that, if the suggestion of the committee
was agreed to by the court-, the highest talent in the country
would be attracted to the subject, and they would have an
opportunity of selecting a plan that would effect the object
in view in a satisfactory manner. (Hear, hear.)
The report was then un,nimously agreed to.
The following motions by Mr. ANDERTON were adopted :
"'That all notices of motions to be discussed by the Court
of Common Council, not given in open court, but to the
town-clerk, shall be entered upon the summons for the next
ensuing court, or the court shall be informed that such
notices have been received."
"That all addresses, remonstrances, and petit;ons, from
the 13th of March, 1778, to the present time, which have
been presented to the Throne from hie court and the livery,
in common hall assembled, with the answers thereto, be

THAMES.

AN UNNATURAL Flo:MT.—Mary Donnelly, alias Cathe-
rine Bryan, with many other aliases, the terror of publicans
and policemen, who has been in custody a great many times,
was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with being
drunk, disorderly, and breaking two panes of glass in the
window of the Crown and Seven Stars public-house in
Rosemary. lane, Whiteohapel.
Rosemary-lane was renamed Royal Mint-street from its
contiguity to the Mint a few years ago, but the character of
its inhabitants has not improved, dissipation and ruffianism
reign triumphant there. The prisoner is the leader of a
desperate gang of disorderly women who are almost con-
tinually drunk and fighting, and creating all manner of
disturbances. The prisoner went into the Crown and Seven
Stars public-house last night and demanded liquor. Mr.
John Mann refused to serve her with anything. She
abused him, and made a great disturbance. A man inter-
fered, and she fought with him. He gave her a good
thrashing. Such were the words uttered by the landlord.
Iu revenge for this prisoner made an attempt to break the
window. The landlord interfered, and the prisoner struck
him several times. He got her away and turned her out of
the house. She then picked up two stones and hurled
them at his windows, Two panes of glass were broken.
Mr. Partridge said it was highly reprehensible for the
landlord of a public-house to suffer any fighting in his
house, but it was still more disgraceful to allow such an
unnatural thing as a man and a woman to fight.
The complainant said he could not prevent it. The pri-
soner was the greatest nuisance that ever existed.
Mr. Partridge—You should refuse to serve her with any-
thing except water,
The complainant—l do, sir, She has not spent a six-
pence in my house for 12 months. She comes into my
house and creates a disturbance, fights with every one,
throws pots at me, and keeps the neighbourhood in a state
of tumult.
The prisoner, whose face was contused, and one eye
blackened, presented a repulsive appearance, and Fielding's
celebrated description of Blear-eyed Moll in his novel of
"Amelia," would answer well for the description of the pri-
soner. She complained of being knocked about, and said
the publican beat her, and was always " paying her out."
Mr. Mann declared he never touched the woman, and
that she was a perfect curse to him.
Mr. Partridge had no doubt the prisoner was a very dis-
orderly, violent, and drunken woman, but he could not
too strongly deprecate the fight between her and a man in a
public-house. He fined her Is., and ss. the value of the
glass broken.
The prisoner doubled her fist, scowled at the com-
plainant, and exclaimed, " I'll knock the publican's b—y
eye out when I come out of prison."
Mr. Partridge--You shall be locked up for five minutes,
and if you do not withdraw that threat and express sorrow
for saying so, I will make you find bail.
The prisoner was again arraigned in five minutes. She
said she was very sorry, and did not intend to hurt the
publican.
Mr. Partridge—You had better not.
