"Read also letter of Nov. 13, from Mr. W. H. Clark,
the late registrar of the company, to the effect that hav-
ing just read an account of the large frauds reported to
have been discovered in the transfer department of the
Great Northern Railway Company, he hastens to place
at the service of the directors any explanation or infor-
mation he may be able to give as to that department
while he was engaged in it ; and
" Read report of the 24th November, from Messrs.
Johnston, Farquhar, and Leech, the company's solici-
tors, of the steps taken to obtain an adjudication of
bankruptcy against Redpath.
"The chairman stated that, for his own part, he hal
determined, and hoped the board would agree with him,
that the books of the registration office should be tho-
roughly shifted and examined by competent parties, en-
tirely independent of the company, and that he proposed
to call upon the auditors to take immediate steps for
such examination being carried out by third parties.
"Discussion ensued, and the course proposed by the
chairman was unanimously acquiesced in by the board.
At 12 o'clock Mr. Cattley and Mr. Chapasan, the
auditors, were received at the board, in accordance with
a letter from the secretary, by order of the chairman,
requesting them to attend.
" The chairman explained to them the course pro-
posed to be pursued, and stated that he was desired by
the board to request them, as auditors of the company's
accounts, to carry on such an investigation.
" Mr. Chapman and Mr. Cattley resp-otiyely inti-
mated their readiness to aid the board in conducting the
examination proposed, or in any other manner, and to
any extent in their power, provided that the resolution
or order of the board tube passed for their guidance did
not convey or imply that they, as auditors, had neglected
their duty heretofore by not examining the registration
books, and whch they stated they had never conceived
it their duty to examine.
"After further discussion the auditors withdrew, and
thereupon it was
" Resolved—At this, the qrst meeting of the directors
since it was clearly ascertained and has been stated to
them that frauds have undoubtedly been practised to a
considerable extent in the department of the registrar of
the shares and stock comprising the capital of the com-
pany, that an immediate and searching examination of
the books and accounts of the registration department
by competent parties in all respects independent of the
company is imp eratively necessary.
" That the two auditors of the company, Mr. Cattley
and Mr. Chapman, should be called upon, and accor-
dingly are hereby called upon, to take the steps neces-
sary to ensure such an examination.
" And that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to
them, with the assurance of the board that any aid they
may require will be readily afforded, accompanied by a
suggestion that it is of the utmost importance that they
should be prepared with a report on the suLject, at
latest, by let February next, wich may be communi-
cated to the proprietors.
(Signed) "J. R. MowaTT, Secretary.'

Sir,—Wo beg to acknowledge the receipt of an extract
from the minutes of the proceedings of the directors, at
a meeting 'of the board held on the 25th of Nov. last,
and to acquaint you that, in deference to the wishes and
resolution therein contained, we shall immediately pro-
ceed to /an examination of the records and transfer.; in
the registration department, in the manner suggested.
Permit us to observe, with reference to that portion of
the minutes which refers to the part the au,litors took
in the conversation with the board, that Mr. Cattley
simply stated " that if the proposed resolu ion meant to
infer that the registration department had ever been
within the sphere of the duties of the auditors, they
must decline to act upon the resolution of the board."—
We have the honour to remain, sir, your very obedient
servants.

bearer, Mr. NV. NV. Debate, the gentleman whose pro-
fessional aid we have called in, for the purpose of carry.
ing on the task of investigation entrusted to us by the
board of directors.

Mr. Deloitte's testimonials and present important ap-
pointments give us every reason to believe that we could
not have selected any one more competent by ability and
independence of character to assist us in this arduous

him every assistance he may require.—We isle, sir, your
vary obedient servants,

Gentlemen,—Your letter of the 3d inst. to me, intro-
ducing Mr. Deloitte as the gentleman entrusted with the
examination of the books and documents of the regis,
tration-office, was brought here yesterday by Mr. De-
loitte, but as I was absent at the police-office he left it
for me. This morning I had a lengthened sitting with
Mr. Deloitte, and afterwards introduced him to the
registration-office, with full authority to act as he thought
fit in carrying out your instructions, assuring him at the
same time that he should receive every assistance or
explanation it was in the power of this establishment to
afford. I sent a copy of your letter of yesterday to the
chairman.

Your letter, dated the 2d inst., in return to the minute
of the board of the 25th ult., was received this morning,
and shall bo laid before the directors.---I am, gentlemen,
your obedient humble servant,

MARKET NEWS.—(This Pay.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Several of Monday's unsold samples of English wheat
were on offer in to-day's market, i 1 very middling condi-
tion; but the fresh arrivals coastwise and by land carriage
were small. Most kinds moved off slowly, but no actual
change 'Look place in the quotations.
The show of foreign wheat was tolerably extensive, and
the amount of business doing in it was limited, at late

rates.
Fine barley maintained its value, but inferior parcels
were dull.
Malt sold slowly, on former terms.
There was a slight improvement in the oat trade, at full
prices.
Beans, peas, and flour were dull, but not cheaper.

SCULLERg RACE.—The match below bridge between
George Rice and George Wade, for 501.,
which has been
postponed since July, and has excited much interest
among sporting men, came off yesterday, the distance
being from North Woolwich to a boat moored off Lime-
house Hole. The state of the weather was most unfa-
vourable, rendering the water more than usually rough.
Betting wasp retty even, Wade being perhaps rather the
favourite. At 20 minutes to 11 both parties got away
well together, continuing so for
then began to gain the superiority, which be gradually Millw
increased, till on reaching some distance. Wade
all, owing lo the rough-
ness of the weather, Rice's cutter sank and compelled
I him to surrender the victory to his opponent.

The King the day after received Hall Bey, who
presented his credentials as Minister Plenipoten-
tiary of the Sultan. In the speech which he
delivered on the occasion Halil Bey stated to
his Majesty that " the Sultan was animated by
a strong desire to continue without interrup-
tion •the relations of friendship and good neigh-
bourhood which now so happily exist be-
tween the two nations," and that he was
charged to give the King "a formal assurance
of the sincere and constant friendship of the
Sultan for the august person of his Majesty."
To this the King replied, that " he received the
declarations with pleasure, that lie maintained the
same sentiments fur the Sultan, and that he would
neglect nothing to maintain and render unchange-
, able the relations of friendship and good neigh-
bourhood between the two States." He concluded
with the customary compliment to the Minister
personally.
