India, Australia, China, and the adjacent regions, contain a popu-
lation of-mars than half the number of the 'inhabitants of the
Mbe, and teem with every product which con minister to the wants
of man.

To carry out effectually and economically steam communication
with those countries is the object of this Company, for whose ope-
rations there is an ample and profitable field, especially as regards
our numerous and valuable colonies in the Southern Pacific, which
have an increasing intercourse with India as well as with England
—are the only portions of the British empire unconnected by steam
navigation with the parent state, and for which a charter by the
overland route has been exclusively granted to this Company.
The route sanctioned by the Lords of the Admiralty for this Com-
pany is via Ceylon, Singapore, and Torres Straits, the advantages of
which are, that Sydney, the metroplitan capital of the whole of the
Australasian colonies, would be brought to a certainty within 64 or
65 days of London (frequently in GO), and within less than 30 days
of India. The coal stations are convenient, excellent coal from the
pits at Newcastle, New South Wales, can be put on board there at
7s._to 7s. 6d. per ton.

Prospectuses, with forms of application for shares, and further
information may be had on application at the offices of the Com-
pany, where a copy of the Royal Charter of Incorporation may be

The object of this Association is totally to abolish the use of
climbing boys, who, notwithstanding the penalties to which those
employing them are subjected by the 3d and 4th Victoria, cap. S 5,
are continually resorted to. This breach of the law is acquiesced in
by a large portion of the public, front a conviction of the utter im-
possitility in innumerable cases of cleansing a chimney or flue with
the old machine. For the landal•le purpose of furthering the objects
of the law by avoiding all necessity for its infringement, the inge-
nious and effective Hamoneur machine has been invented. This
invention consists of four brushes forming a square head, which
by means of elastic springs contracts or expands, according to
the small or extended space in which the machine moves, thereby
creating an even pressure on all four sides of a chimney. The
rods attached to this head or brush are couppliod at intarvalS nith
universal spring joints, capable of taming even a right angle
and the whole is surmounted with a double revolving ball, having
also a universal spring joint, which leads the brush with certainty
past every angle, and into every corner, cleansing its route most
perfectly. The capabilities of this machine are best demonstrated
by the fact, that it is exclusively used in the Government and
numerous public offices, while the patronage bestowed by a large
number of the nobility and gentry in eontirming their animal con-
tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well
as of the philanthropic views of the projectors. Detailed prospectuses
may be obtained, and a working model of the machine seen, at the
offices of the solicitor, F, Dolman, Esq., 39, Jermyn-street, St.
James's ; at Messrs. Barry and Co.'s, brokers, 7, Ilirchin-lane ; at
W. Heath, Esq.'s, Nag's Head-court, Gracechurch-street; and at the
principal office, 1, Wellington-street, London-bridge, Borough, where
applications for shares may be addressed.

L7ECRET MALADIES.
Treatment of CH. ALBERT, M.D., a Member of the Univer-
sity of Paris, Professor of Pharmacy, Apothecary to the Hospitals of
Paris, Professor of Medicine, and honoured with several Medals and
national rewards. No. 21, Rue Montorgeull, Paris.
Numberless and well-authenicated cases which hitherto had been
considered as incurable by the Faculty, and which in a short time
have given way under this treatment; are most unequivocal proofs of
its superiority over every other means as yet employed: It was for
a long period of time a desideratum to discover a mode of cure
adopted to all constitutions, and which should be free from the bane-
ful effects of mercury. We are now arrived at the solution of this
problem by the discovery of a mode of treatment at once simple and
easy, and which, without any degree of exaggeration, we can affirm
to be infallible in the cure of all secret maladies, however inveterate
or of long standing. The method of cure, according to Dr. Albert, is
economical and easy, either at home or on a journey, causing not the
slightest derangement to the general health, and safe in all seasons
and in all climates.

m One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield hinrelf under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour encliststice demand that health should form an item
in the compact; it alone digninee the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Header, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULYERWELL'S little
MEMOIRS On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is.
each (by Vist, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
by misinterpretatlor of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
for the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
little publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by post le. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
amphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hoar, but the study of the author's
life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the maxims he would inculcate—ta do unto others as he
would be done unto—tc live after nature's laws—and to keep always
on the " sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of
Sherwood, 23, Paternoster-row ; Carvalho, 147, Fleet .street ; Mann,
39, Cornhill ; Nelson, 457, West Strand ; or direct (by post or other-
wise) from the author (who may be conferred with personally,

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY.—The por-
tion of this railway which is completed, namely from
Chester to Conway (about 45 miles) will, we under-
stand, be formally opened on the Ist December next.
The trip which the directors and officials took over
the line on Thursday last, was considered highly
satisfactory. The works are substantially con-
structed, and the permanent way is well consolidated.
Much interest was felt by the excursionists in pass-
ing through the tunnels under the great mountains
Penmaen Bach and Penmaen Maur. Between these
two mountains the railway runs for a portion of its
length upon a sea wall which has been so constructed
as thoroughly to resist the action of the swell from
the channel.
QUADRUPLE RAILS ON THE LONDON AND NORTH-
WESTERN RAILWAY.—After much discussion in the
board, during which there was considerable opposi-
tion to the measure, it has finally been resolved by
the directors of the London and North-Western
Railway that quadruple rails shall be laid down upon
their line between Camden-town and Watford, eigh-
teen miles down the line. The time, however, for
the commencement of these new, and as they appear
to us unnecessary works, has been postponed indefi-
nitely. Indeed the directors, although they have
finally determined upon the proposed addition being
made, have at the same time wisely resolved that the
works shall not commence until the money market as-
sumes a more encouraging aspect. The two engineers,
Mr. Stephenson and Mr. Locke, were both decidedly in
favour of the proposed addition to the existing rails,
but we have not heard how they propose to pass the
tunnels, which are barely sufficient for the four
rails at present laid down. During the discussion
which took place relative to the adoptien of the
quadruple rails, some of the parties recommended that
instead of quadruple rails being laid down to Wat-
ford, a new line of railway should be made from the
Tring branch of the Buckinghamshire railway down
to Camden Town, it being argued by those who put
forward this view, that such a new line would not
cost more, if indeed it cost so much as doubling the
line to Watford, while the advantage would be gained
of accommodating an entirely new and populous dis-
trict, namely, that which lies midway between the
London and North-Western and the Great 'Western
Railways. The scheme, however, for the quadruple
rails, as we have said, was adopted, though not una-
nimouly, nor without some very lengthy and occa-
sionally warm discussion.
SYSTON AND PETERUOROUGH RAILWAY.—This
railway, the contractors for which had great difficul-
ties to contend with but a short time since, is now in
a state of rapid advancement. The embankment
through Lord llarborough's park has been completed,
and is ready for " ballast ;" the cutting through
Mans and Gale-hill are through, and are of great
depth and length. The temporary pile bridges over
the Oakham Canal will be pulled down during this
month, and the canal will be filled up where the line
crosses. Three engines are already upon the line for
the purpose of removing ballast from Freeby-hill to
its destination.—Leicester Mercury.

PERSONAL GRACES.—The countenance is rendered
additionally pleasing by :the well-arranged curl, the
braided plait, or the flowing tress. In dressing the hair,
nothing can equal the effect of Rowland's Macassar Oil,
on either natural or artificial hair, rendering it so
admirably soft that it will lie in any direction, producing
beautifully flowing curls, and, by the transcendent lustre
it imparts, rendering the head-dress truly enchanting.
Rowland's Kalydor is a preparation of unparalleled
efficiency in improving and beautifying the akin and
complexion, preserving them from every vicissitude of
the weather; and Rowland's Oclonto, or Pearl Dentifrice,
is alike invaluable for its beautifying 'an preservative
effects on the teeth and gums. Caution—lt is necessary
to see that the word " Rowland's" precedes the name of
the, article on the wrapper of each, as spurious imitations
are abroad.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] DEBILITATED CONSTITU-
TIONS, DISORDERED LIVER, BILE, AND INDIGESTION,
CURED BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—The good effects pro-
puced by this salutary medicine are really extraordinary,
and speak volumes in favour of its excellence in the cure
of impaired digestion, bile, diseases of the liver and
chest. The benefits derived from the use of Holloway's
pills in these complaints are permanent, as the whole
system is completely renovated, by inducing a healthy
action of the liver, strengthening the organs of digestion,
and promoting a free respiration. Persons suffering from
any of these disorders should immediately have recourse
to this established remedy, to insure a safe, certain, and
speedy cure. Sold by all vendors of medicines; and at Pro-
fessor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.

MONEY-MARKET and CITY NEWS.
CITY, TUESDAY EVENING.
TIMES.—The premium of gold at Paris is 13 per
mille, which, at the English flint price of 3/. 17s.
10:; d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex-
change of 2.5.47, and the exchange at Paris on
London at short being 25.75, it follows that gold
is 1.09 per cent. dearer in London than inParis.
By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is
438 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of
3/. 17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, gives an
exchange of 13 11i ; and the exchange at Ham-
burgh on London, at short being 13.13, it follows
that gold is 0.68 per cent. dearer in London than in
Hamburgh.
The fluctuations in the English Funds have again
been violent to•day, but the market has closed at a
slight improvement upon its opening prices, which
during the past week or two has been an unusual

which was a slight decline upon the final prices of
yesterday, and after receding to 79k, they recovered
to 80k. At that time, however, a very general re- .
port of the stoppage of another Liverpool bank
depressed the market again to 79i' but this alarm
having proved groundless, a rise to 801, which was
the last quotation, took place. Bank Stock left off
178 to 182 ; Reduced Three per Cents. (some con-
siderable purchases of whielL for the account were
made daring the day bylt leading broker), 78 to I;
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 791 to ; Long
Annuities, 7i to 8; India Stock, 221 to 225; India
Bonds, 50s. to 40s. dis. ; and Exchequer-bills, 355.
to 30s. dis. Money from day to day in the Stock-
Exchange was at one time in demand, but at the
close of business the rate was not higher than 6 per
cent. At the Bank and out of doors also there was
on the whole less urgency.
In the foreign exchanges to-day the rates for
Hamburgh, Trieste, and Vienna were higher, but
those for Holland, Belgium, and France remained
about the same. A rather better feeling than that
which has recently appeared to exist was shown as to
the taking of bills.
Gold to the amount of about 150,0001;, chiefly from
Paris, is understood to have been received to-day at
the ank.

Advices received this morning quote the rate of
discount at Hamburgh 6to per cent. At Antwerp
it is sto per cent., and at Marseilles it is " easy'
at 31.
Nothing appears to have transpired to throw more
light upon the circumstances connected with the stop-
page of the Royal Bank of Liverpool. The letters
received this morning, however, mention that the de-
posit accounts of the bank amount to not less than
half a million, and they also tend to strengthen the
report that to one house alone uncovered advances
have been made to the amount of 430,0001, in addi-
tion to a further sum of 200,0001. advanced to them
in discounts of the paper of another individual firm.
No other failures, it appears,have yet been announced.
It is said " there has been some running on the
various banks, but not to any severe extent:." Witb
regard to the Borough Bank, the deposits in which
are understood to amount to about 110,0001. after a
reduction of 20,0001. which has just taken place, most
of the letters concur in stating that it has been care-
fully managed during the past two years, and that
there is a general disposition to believe in the safety
of its affairs. It appears also from these advices that
"several" deputations from public bodies, in addition
to the one headed by the Mayor, have left for Lon-
don for the purpose of communicating with the
Government. Of course, in the present state of
things, business in the cotton- market is extremely
dull, a decline of to id. per pound having taken
place from Friday's rates. The corn-market is also
lower.

Reports were in current circulation to-day of the
suspension of two other Liverpool banks, but con-
cerning one of them an unequivocal contradiction
was given, while, as regards the other, the circum-
stances which transpired respecting it were not such,
in the absence of information from Liverpool, as to
justify in any way the assumption of its having
stopped.

It appears that the capital of the Royal Bank is
larger than the amount (600,000/.) stated yesterday,
an increase having been made to it by the issue of
2,000 additional shares of 1001. each, one-half of
which were paid up, or appointed to be paid up, on
the Ist instant, the remainder to be paid on the Ist of
December. This issue,*it is understood, was made a
few months back, about the time when, the panic of
April and the deputation that then waited upon the
Government having been forgotten, speculation had
again resumed so much confidence in that town as
to cause the prices of railway shares of all descriptions
to advance 30 or 40 per cent. in the course of a single
week.

POST.—The public securities have been greatly
agitated to-day by the conflicting rumours which
have been in circulation. The effect of the announce-
ment yesterday of the failure of the Royal Bank of
Liverpool was not fully developed on the Stock
Exchange when the alarming report of another bank
failure, supposed to have takan place in the same
town, became current, and Consols, which opened for
the account at the price of 80, at once dropped to 79k.
From this they rallied to 80i, and, after relapsing to
79f, eventually stood in the official lists at 80k. Sub-
sequently to the close of the regular business of the
house, the market again rallied to 80i, owing to the
report of a deputation from Liverpool, headed by the
Mayor, having gone up to Downing- street, in order
to lay before Lord John Russell a representation re-
specting the unprecedented condition of the trade and
manufactures of the country, and to demand from
him the requisite relief. What measure may be sug-
gested as likely to prove effective has not been made
known, but it is thought that an issue by the Bank of
England of paper equal in amount to the rest, or
reserved fund of the corporation, would be recom-
mended. Exchequer-bills left off at 335. to 28s. dis.
At a late hour of the day inquiry was made at the
house of agency of one of the Liverpool banks, the
rumour of the failure of which was pretty general,
as to the truth of the statement, and the fact of
its stoppage was distinctly denied. The usual
Liverpool correspondence of the morning will,
notwithstanding, be looked to with deep interest.
The following has been addressed to us concerning
the suspended dividends of the Spanish Indemnity
Bonds :
TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING POST.
" Sir,—You have always advocated the cause of the
foreign bondholders. Can you now assist those who
hold the Spanish Indemnity Bonds, and who have
purchased them on the faith of a convention between
Spain and England? Their half-year's interest, due
Bth September last, is not paid, though the whole of
it only amounts to 7,5001. As Lord Wellington said
in the House of Lords, If a Government cannot pay
this, it can pay nothing.'—l am, Sir, &c.,
" A SMALL BONDHOLDER.

" October, 1847."
We learn that Messrs. Johnstone, Ebsworth, and
Holmes, late of the house of Reid, Irving, and Co.,
have formed a partnership for carrying on a general
commission and insurance business. This they do
under the strongest recommendation of Messrs. Reid,
Irving, and Co., and from the known competency and
respectability of the parties, they will no doubt find
the needful support in influential quarters.
Since the preceding was written it has transpired
that the Liverpool deputation to Lord John Russell
have failed in their object. An extra issue of Bank..
notes to the extent of 5,000,0001. was, it appears,
asked for, but refused, on the ground that it would be
a violation of the law, so that the mischief done by
our blundering and too confident statesmen, as they
call themselves, will admit of no reparation without
further legislation.

MEETING OF TRADES' DELE-
GATES AT MANCHESTER.

On Sunday last another important meeting of
delegates connected with the Cotton- spinners associa-
tion was held at Manchester, to receive the decision
of each district in reference to a general cessation
from work for a short period in all the manufactur-
ing towns. _ _

-The following places were represented :—Ashton-
under-Lyne Bolton, Manchester, Blackburn, Pres-
ton,' Enfield, Burnley, Chorley, Dukinfield, Hey-
wood, Mosley, Oldham, Shaw Chapel, Stockport, and
the central committee.

The subject about which they had met was fully
discussed, and ultimately the following resolutions
were agreed to :-
Ist. " That deputations be appointed to wait upon
all the masters in Ashton-under-Lyne who have pro-
posed a reduction of wages, to endeavour to prevail
upon them to withdraw the same; and that if the
whole of them do not agree to the request, each and
every district to cease labour on the 21st of October."
2d. " That each district where strikes at present
exist, appoint a deputation to wait on their employers
and request of them to give up the contest, and allow
the men their former list."

Several of the delegates suggested the propriety of
sending a•deputation to London, for the purpose of
laying before her Majesty's MinigtorA the great pri-
vations and sufferings of the operatives in the manu-
facturing districts.
It was resolved " That a memorial be drawn up
detailing particulars as to the position of the manu-
facturing population, and requesting that some steps
may be taken to alleviate their present sufferings."
It was also resolved " That the deputation be ap-
pointed from Manchester, Bolton, Ashton, and
Oldham."

A committee was appointed to draw up the me-
morial, and they were instructed to forward a com-
munication to Lord John Russell, informing him that
a deputation had been appointed, who would feel
obliged by their being acquainted when they could
be favoured with an interview.—The meeting then
separated.— Liverpool Mercury.

DISTRESSING SVlClDE.—Yesterday afternoon an
inquest was taken before Mr. William Baker, at the
Monmouth Arms, Singleton-street, Hoxton, on the body
of William Rawlinson, aged 17 years, who committed
suicide by swallowing a large quantity of oil of bitter
almonds under the following distressing circumstances:—
It appeared from the evidence that the deceased was a
lawyer's clerk, and resided with his parents at No. 44,
Singleton-street. He had been for some considerable
time studying chemical works and other philosophical
matters. Lie was in the habit of locking himself up in
his room for the purpose of preventing his friends
molesting him. He had made several experiments, but,
in consequence of the frequent loud reports and explo-
sions, his father threatened to destroy all his books.
He was discharged from his situation on Saturday, the
9th instant, in consequence of his inattention to busi-
ness, and he was often remonstrated with by his em-
ployer, Mr. Wyatt, a solicitor, in Chancery-lane. His
mind always appeared to be occupied by his studies, and
he seldom addressed (thy person except in monosyllables.
He latterly appeared very cheerful, and on Saturday
last he retired to rest as usual with his younger brother.
About one o'clock on the following morning his brother
was alarmed by his attempting to jump out cf bed. The
deceased then fell back on the bed and groaned very
heavily. Mr. Young, a surgeon, was sent for, who
attended immediately, and found the deceased quite
dead. He smelt strongly of prussic acid, and the sur•
geon discovered two small bottles in the bed-clothes, and
one also on the table, which had contained oil of bitter
almonds. The jury returned a verdict of—" Temporary
insanity."
PARISH OF ST. PANCRAS.—Yesterday a very fully
attended meeting of the directors and guardians of the
above parish, was held in the vestry-room adjoining the
workhouse, Mr. B. Wright in the chair. Mr. Howarth,
the chairman of the committee lately appointed to con-
sider the dietary of the workhouse, read a report to the
following effect:—" The committee have carefully con-
sidered the matter, and with respect to the dietary of the
workhouse, are of opinion that several alterations in it
should be adopted, by which means three regular meals
per day would be secured to the inmates. By the pro-
posed dietary some deductions would be made from the
present dietary table, but some very important, though
not expensive, additions were proposed to be made, and
they were such as were calculated to increase the nutri-
ment and promote the content of the inmates. And the
committee was also of opinion that if the dietary, as
suggested, was adopted, the inmates would not require
any additional food, and they therefore recommend that
as soon as the new dietary be adopted, the sale of pro-
visions in the workhouse be wholly prohibited, and no
uncooked food of any sort be permitted to be brought
into the house by the inmates or their friends." On the
motion for the reception of the above report, a ♦ery long
discussion ensued, during which Dr. Bermingham de-
nounced the inefficiency of the dietary, stating that even
in its increased state it was surpassed in union work-
houses and prisons. Eventually the report was received,
and was ordered to be printed and circulated amongst
the members of the board, who are to be specially sum-
moned to take it into consideration on Tuesday next.
The board after this separated.
PINEAPPLES IN FRANCE.--A vessel arrived in the
river from Rouen has brought two barrels of pine-
apples, the growth of France. We are not aware that
any distinct importation of this luscious and esteemed
fruit has before taken place from this continental state of
Europe. It is known that at the present time there are
considerable quantities of nuts and orchard fruits of the
various kinds in season brought to this country from
France, which have been preceded by a profusion of
stone and other fruits, throughout the summer, but no
especial mention has been made of their including any
supply of pines, neither do we believe that any have
taken place. The importations of pineapples, which have
been very extensive this summer, from the West Indies,
and which poured into the markets at such a rate as to
cause them for a length of time to be in the greatest
abundance, and attainable at a very moderate price by
all classes of the community, have ceased for the season,
and this fine fruit has again obtained its exclusive and
expensive character. This importation from France,
therefore, becomes an important feature in the supplies
of fruit from abroad, and for the reasons stated, is of
much interest.

DELIGHTS OF MARRIAGE.--011 Thursday last,
were married at High-street Chapel, in Huddersfield,
Mr. William Hirst to Mrs. Sarah Armstone. The
number of years these happy people have passed on
earth amount to 141 ! the jovial bridegroom being 70
years old, and his blooming partner 71 years ; and they
have been married, now, the husband to his fourth wife,
and the lady to her third husband.—Leeds intelligencer.

PUBLIC MEETING TO RELIEVE

THE DISTRESSED OPERATIVES.

On Monday a public meeting of the inhabitants of
Warrington was held at the Music Hall, Market-
place, to take into consideration the present distressed
condition of the operatives, and to devise means for
rendering them assistance. The meeting was ca'led
by the mayor (Mr. W. Beaumont), in compliance
with a requisition signed by a number of the most
respectable inhabitants of the town. The hall was
crowded to excess, and there could not have been
fewer than from 800 to 900 persons present, The
Mayor was called to the chair.
. Mr. J. W. PATTEN, M.P., moved the following
resolution :—" That in the opinion of this meeting it
is desirable that relief should be given to the unem-
ployed operatives, and it should, so far as practicable,
be administered by the board of guardians, under
the out-door labour test order at present in operation,
provided means can be devised of finding such labour
as the guardians would be authorised by law to em-
ploy the paupers upon."
The resolution was seconded in the most cordial
manner by Captain CLARE, and carried unanimously.
Mr. GILBERT GREENALL, M.P., after complimenting
the Mayor for the readiness he had shown to comply
with the wishes of the inhabitants on so important an
occasion, said he could not but deplore the heavy
suffering which had fallen upon them, a calamity
which must affect all parties more or less ; it had not
been brought on by any act of their own, by a want
' of foresight or prudence, or by any imprudence ; and
though it was one of a painful character, they must
endeavour, by the means at their disposal, to admi-
nister that remedy which, in their judgment, should
appear to be the best. He read the resolution which
had been put into his hands :—" That, as it seems
there are many destitute persons who will not apply
to the board of guardians for relief, it is desirable that
a subscription be opened for extending relief to such
persons, either by finding them employment, giving
food, opening industrial schools, or otherwise, as might
be suggested ; and that such private subscription
should not be given except in special cases, and at the
discretion of the committee, to any person in receipt ,
of parochial relief."
Mr. PERRIN seconded the resolution, which was
carried unanimously.
A committee was then appointed on the motion of
Mr. M'Minnis, seconded by Mr. J. Stubbs, to solicit
subscriptions, co-operate with the board of guardians,
in procuring labour, superintending the labour of the
persons to be set to work by them; to visit persons
applying for relief, and generally to carry out the
views which had been expressed in the resolutions.
Mr. EDWARD WEST considered that whatever was
done would not be effectual, unless the operatives
could be employed in reproductive labour, and he
therefore moved that a committee be appointed for
renting land, and employing the operatives upon it ;
and that such committee have power to borrow
money from parties on the security of the crops to be
produced.

Mr. J. W. PATTEN thought the subject one of vast
importance, but such as could not be considered at a
meeting like the present.
Mr. PERRIN said that, as one of the committee, the
matter should have his best attention.

Mr. IV-En said that, after the expression which
had been made by several gentleman that they
would give the matter their best consideration in
committee, he would withdraw the resolution he had
proposed.
The CHAIRMAN then announced that the subscrip.
tion, so far as it had gone, reached nearly 5001.
