Company was held this afternoon, in pursuance of the
sessional orders, at the office in Moorgate-street, Mr. Thomas
Nettle in the chair.

At the previous meeting, it was stated that the
total number of shares paid upon was 6,171, which, at
2/. 103. per share, gave a total amount of 15,4271. 103.
The expenses actually paid out of this fund amounted to
8,538/. 155., while the liabilities amounted to nearly 7,0001.

being a sufficient quantity of scrip present to constitute a
legal meeting.
At the present meeting there was still a paucity of scrip,
but it was resolved, nevertheless, on the motion of Mr.
Raley, seconded by Mr. Mosely, to withdraw the Bill, and
wind up the affairs of the Company. _

BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY).
(Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.)
IN YE STONE.
This bankrupt, who had carried on'business as a wholesale
laceman and warehouseman in the City, came up to pass his
last examination, which had been twice adjourned.
Mr. REED, solicitor, appeared on behalf of the
assignees
and other creditors to oppose, on the following grounds'--
Ile said that the bankrupt had himself sued out the fiat on
the 18th of March last. Up to March, 1845, he had carried
on business in his own name, and on that date he had issued a
circular to the parties with whom he dealt that he had taken
his clerk, Mr. Wm. Everett, into partnership, and that the
business wpuld be carried on under the firm of Stone and.
Everett, and the principal creditors, Messrs. Stagg and Man-
tell, at their joint request, renewed over-due accounts of
Stone to the amount of 1,000/., taking bills of the new firm.
Business was carried on up to the time of the bankruptcy, in
the names of Stone and Everett, but since then the bank-
rupts had positively sworn that there was no partnership.
This was highly important to the creditors, as there were
other debts claimed by relatives of the bankrupt, to the
amount of 1,0001., which had been received by Stone be•
fore the alleged partnership, and they would share the divi-
dend arising out of the property and goods supplied on the
faith of the partnership, whereas they ought only to receive
a dividend under the separate estate of Stone.
Mr. LLOYD, solicitor for the bankrupt, contended that this
was not a subject for inquiry at the present meeting; it was
only to know whether the bankrupt had rendered the best
account in his power. The other question might be brought
forward when the bankrupt applied fqr his certificate, but ass
to the partnership, it had been decided in exactly a Bi__,nuw,
case, in the Queen v. Reay, that there was no partner-au/P.
In that case John Reay had carried on business as a wine;
merchant. and he was joined by his nephew, John Robert
Reay, at least his name was used in the firm, and a circular
issued, but it was decided that he had no interest or property
in the goods.
The Learned COMMISSIONER asked if that case had beelt
reported?
Mr. LLOYD said he was not prepared with it as an hutho-
rity, but the case was very well known.
The Learned ComaussioNee said that if a man held himself
oat to the world as a partner he was liable. not
Mr. LLOYD said no doubt he was liable, yet he might
be a partner.
The Learned Comussiosaa said the official assign
pointed out some very curious discrepancies in the accounts►
yet they balanced, and that always looked like fiction ; yet
he did not see what benefit would arise to the creditors by
a further adjournment.
Mr. REED said there ought to be two separate accounts.
The Learned COMMIS3IONIR said it would be better to let
the bankrupt pass his examination without prejudice as 16
at question as to the partnership.
The examination was then taken and passed.
The debts were 6,0001., the assets about 1,0001. ee bad

and the defendant was a medical gentleman residing in
Saville-place, or row, at the west end of the town, who, IA
addition to his professional duties, acted in the capacity of I!
provisional committeeman of the Direct Birmingham and
Leicester Railway, and therefore rcndered himself liable for
the debts incurred by the plaintiff.

Mr. Baron PARKS stated that it wa::, not possible to make
a man liable unless it could be pro Jed that he had given his
consent to serve, and had aete"!, as a committeeman. That
proof in the present instanf..,e the plaintiff had failed to give.

that it was one instigated by certain members of the coin

THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE (°l%r

THE CORN-LAWS.
(From Punch.)
By accident or design our contemporaries have slacol
considerable unfairness in the report of the speech °
the Duke of Cambridge. It is no joke when a person in
the distinguished position of his Royal Highness tbitiks
proper to " pronounce" on a subject of such grave joy-
portance as the corn-laws, and we have therefore bee°
at some pains to prevent one syllable being lost cf the'
harangue with which this great Prince condescended t°'
favour the Peers on Tuesday. The following may "
relied upon by those who are trustingly disposed- as °

" My Lords and Gentlemen' —I mean Mr. Chain:Oil

POOR MAN'S GUARDIAN
SOCIETY.

it gives us great pleasure to find that the Poor Man's
Guardian Society is making rapid progress in public favour.
We believe we were among the first to bestow a word of en-
couragement on those benevolent gentlemen who originated
the idea of establishing such a society. We did not for a
moment doubt the ultimate success of their philanthropic
efforts, but we must own that we did not anticipate the rapid
progress which they have already made. But in their case,
we are only furnished with one more proof, in adeition to the
Multitude with which history abounds, of what energy and
perseverance, under the guidance of intelligent minds, are
Capable of achieving.
Among the various benevolent institutions which are the
glory of this metropolis, we know of none which has stronger
claims on the support of the friends of humanity than the
Poor Man's Guardian Society. Its great object is to rescue
the poor from the fangs of the oppressor, and to protect them
from the insults of insolent officials, to whom their neces-
sities compel them to apply for relief. Hard, indeed, is the
fate of the poor; and as if their destiny were not hard enough
Of itself, it must needs be aggravated by gratuitous outrages
on their feelings. They are treated as if they were criminals.
There is no disguising the fact, that proverty is regarded by
many as a great enormity. The fashionable felon, or well-
dressed seducer of his neighbour's wife, is treated with con-
sideration and indulgence, compared with the man whose
• misfortune is to be dependent on the charity of others. The
latter is often treated as if the ordinary susceptibilities of
human nature were inconipatible with povel ty. Even the very
brute creation frequently receive more consideration and kind-
nes., than many persons made in the image of their Maker,
but who have the misfortune- to be sunk in the depths of
Poverty.
The natural tendency of the insults and oppression to
which the poor are so often subject, is to irritate their minds
and lessen t!:eir self-respect. Hence, they become lost to
society and to themselves; whereas, were they treated more
respectfully and kindly, they would be encouraged to make
efforts for emerging from their poverty, and raising them-
selves in the social scale. It is the high and holy object of
the Poor Man's Guardian Society to foster feelings like these.
The benevolent individuals who have set it on foot, are re-
solved, as far as in them lies, to protect the poor from needless
oppression, and to shield them from the graituitous insolence
of proud and heartless officials. And m both respects the
Society has already accomplished a great amount of good.
The society will operate most beneficially in an indirect man-
ner. The very existence of such a Society will be felt by
many as a perpetual rebuke, and will lead them to regard the
poor within their immediate sphere, with, at least, tt.e sem-
blance of respect.
The Poor Man's Guardian Society has already been
productive of no inconsiderable good. Mr. Cochrane, a gen-
tleman of fervent philanthropy, and untiring perseverance in
a righteous cause—a gentleman, moreover, to whom this
Society we believe, mainly owes its existence—Mr. Cochrane
stated on Wednesday evening at the meeting in Theobaln-
read, that the first effort of the Society had been to reform
the dietary tables in blarylebone workhouse. In nearly all
of our metropolitan workhouses, the wretched inmates, in
Addition to the coarseness of their fare, are constantly ex-
.B
43 ei to the heartless insults of the officials in these places.
(
entirely concur with Mr. Wakley, when he says, that
the feelings of unkindness, and the hardheartedness of the
officials in workhouses, ate a disgrace to a Christian and
Civilised country.
We repeat that we know of no more excellent institu-
tion than the Poor Man's Guardian S•,ciety. Its objects are
defined as well as benevolent—intelligible as well as philan-
thropic. It goes direct to its great object. Its funds will
not be diverted from their legitimate purpose. They will be
brought to bear alone in favour of the poor. We trust, that
before many month have elapsed, we shall see similar so-
zeties in every parish where they are needed, not only in
the metropolre, but. throughout the country.—Morning Ad-
