THE PACIFIO STEAMER.

The Erening Post publishes the following im-
nortant communication, received. this day from
atlw'aj, .FOnildrit and Ironworks, Merchant-road,
and New Docl6 - •

• • "Galway, April 7.
" beg, to acquaint you flat her Majesty's
iteather Tartar, 24 guna, which had been sent by
Government oil the. 29th ult. in search of the ill-
fated steamer Pacific, arrived here last evening
without obtaining any informatfOn of the missing
ship, although the Tartar proceeded .as tar as 25
deg. west anti snout 55 deg. north latitude.-,_
On the 29th ,nit. she met the American ship
Joseph Badger in great distress with fohr feet of
water in the hold; bound to Londbn from Calcutta,
and supplied her with provisions and an Older and
eight,men to assist in navigating her, as all hands
were quite exhausted pumping.' She met two other
ships, but got no information. The Tartar, being
ono of the fastest screw propellers in her Majesty's
navy, having made all speed to the - nearest point
on the West coast of Ireland; to c,innmuniCate with
therkifdilerthit A din- irialry, ~ is another proof- that
Galway stands predominantly before any othei•
port for the transmission of the mails to America.

steamer has just anchored close to the Tartar.

JOINT-STOCK COMPANIES.

Mr. Lowe's Joint-Stock Companies Bill, in its
amended form, has just been printed. It is to be
called the Joint-Stock Companies Act of 1856, and
is not to apply to banking or insurance establish-
ments. Under its provisions any number of persons
not less than seven may constitute themselves an incor-
porated company, with or without limited liability; and
after the 3d of Nov. next no body of persous exceeding
20 in number, unless they are empowered by Parliament,
or by charter, or under the Stannaries juri-diction, are
to associate as a company, except in conformity there-
wi.h. A memorandum of association is to be lodged
with the registrar of joint-stock companies, giving the
name and objects of the company, the mode of liability,
whether limited or unlimited, its capital and number of
shares, with the total taken by each subscriter. It may
also contain regulations inserted for the management of
the undertaking, and, if these are omitted, the 0 mipany
are to be bound by a certain set of regulations inserted in
a schedule of the act. Each company is to keep a register
of shareholders, to be coupled with an annual summary
of its position as regards capital, the calls made, and the
amounts of calls paid and overdue. The list of share-
holders is to be open to the inspection of shareholders
gratuitously, and to other persons on payment of is.
Special resolutions may be passed by three-fourths in
number and value of the shareholders, and copies of
such resolutions are to be forwarded to the registrar
within 15 days. Upon the •application of one-fifth in
ilum'oer and value of the shareholders in any company the
Board of Trade may appoint an inspector to examine and
report on its affairs, er the shareholders in general
meeting may appoint inspectors of their own, the
officers of the company being bound under penalties
to produce all books and documents. The liability of
shareholders is to continue in unlimited companies far
three years after they may have transferred their shames,
and in limited companies for one year for any amount
of their shares remaining unpaid. A company may be
wound up upon a resolution to that effect in genera
meeting, or whenever it suspends its business for the
space of a year, whenever the number of shareholders is
reduced below seven, whenever it is unable to pay. its
debts, or whenever it has lost three-fourths of its capo al
Any company neglecting for three weeks to meetit a clam.
exceeding 50/. is to be deemed unable to pay ,s, debts.
The Court may appoint "official liquidators to de
everything necessary fur winding up.

course, that this dexterous side-blow at the Press
en, masse, inflicted by the dagger of lath flourished
by the Comic Premier hither and thither, right
and left, in the midst of the freaks and vagaries
of the Parliamentary Harlequinade—applied com-
prehensively to journals of the most miscellaneous
character, of all parties, of all classes, of all com-
plexions, so to speak, in matters of art, science,
politics, and literature.

Sir CHARLES EASTLAKE, in fact (just to epito-
mise the matter), has brought home from the
Continent a big picture, which he tells us is
very fine indeed, but which every one among us
sees at once is about as hideous and worthless as
it is huge and expensive. Sir CHARLES EASTLAR.E
gives for this gaudy daub just (within v. few brass
farthings) 2,0001. sterling. Everybody is dis-
gusted with the thing--everybody is sick of it—
everybody is indignant. And simultaneously the
daily newspapers, both morning and evening, the
weekly newspapers, class newspapers and general
newspapers, radical newspapers and fashionable
newspapers, magazines and quarterlies—simulta-
neously—roar forth one unanimous protest against
the folly of this worse than absurd expenditure.
Mr. OTWAY protests against it in the House of
Commons when that House has formed
itself into a Committee of Supply, and
when there is brought before it the vote of
17,639/. for the expenses of the National Gallery.
Besides enumerating the various organs of public
opinion who have already iusisted upon the
extravagance of wasting 2,0001. upon a scriptural
' caricature, said to have been painted by PAUL
VERONESE, the Hon. Gentleman the Member for
Stafford enforced his argument by quoting from
what had been said upon the matter by our
contemporary the Times, and what we ourselves
London, England, 1856-04-09

FURTHER FORGERIES BY JOHN SADLEIR.

The subjoined important statement also appears
in the Evening Post :
" Yesterday afternoon a London solicitor ap-
peared in the Registry-office with a carpet bag
containing a number of deeds, in order that it
should be ascertained whether they had been re-
gistered in accordance with certificates of registry
which he produced. The deeds purported to be
conveyances of the estates sold in the Encumbered
Estates Court to John Sadleir and the certificates
of registry, which were numbered, mentioned
books in which the memorials of the deeds were
entered. One of the certificates, dated in 1852,
bore the signature of the late Mr. Walter Glas-
cock, who died before the establishment of the
Encumbered Estates Court. The other certificates
purported to be in the handwriting of Mr. Chap-
man, First Assistant-Registrar, and to be signed
by that gentleman.
" On examination by Mr. Morgan O'Connell,
Principal of the Registry-office, and his assistants,
it was found that no such books were in existence,
and that all the deeds but one, and the entire of
the certificates, were forgeries. The deeds of eon•
veyauce, five iu number (some of which contained
maps of properties), bore the signatures of two
of the commissioners—Dr. Long-field and Mr:
Elargreave. T forgery of the. signature of Mr.
Chapman was exceedingly well executed.
"The decd that was not forged had been origi
nally a.conreyance of a small property purchased
for 20001., but the amount was changed to 5,000/. ;
the total amount of the consideration money on
the five conveyances was 44,0001. ; the sum lent
upon those securities was 16,0001. ; the lenders,
of course, have been defrauded, like so many others
in the gigantic and unprecedented swindles per-
petrated by John Sadleir."

GAMATION BILL.

Mr. THOMPSON moved that the standing order
with reference to this bill should be dispensed with,
and that the bill as amended ,in committee and on
recommittal be considered on Friday next, notwith-
standing printed copies of the bill as amended on re-
oommittal shall have been deposited only two clear days
before the consideration of such bill.

Mr. FITZ ROY objected to the motion, on the ground
that standing orders should not be dispensed wi'h, ex-
cept under extraordinary circumstances. No sufficient
reason had been shown for the house agreeing to the
motion.

After some discussion the motion was withdrawn.
PETITIONS.

wickshire against the bands playing in the Parks on
Sunday. Several petitions were presented in favour of

MELBOURNE " PUNCH."

It is gratifying, though by no means surprising,
to be assured that our friends at the Antipodes are
able like ourselves to enjoy the humours of this
renowned personage, considering that, like our-
selves, "they have the ball at their feet." Much of
the wit and humour of the number before us (for
Jan. 31) is to a large extent lost to us from its
connexion with local associations ; but sufficient
remains to demonstrate that the art of " picking
fun" out of passing events and individuals is not
likely to be lost in the land of the gold diggings.
We may live in hope that the higher game at which
our E6glish contemporary so praiseworthily flies,
will be less overlooked at Melbourne hereafter.

SUFFRAGAN'BISHOPS.-A NEW 310710-
MEM' IN THE CHURCH:

(Front a Correspondent of the Morning Advertiser.)
It is said that Lord Palmerston is willing to
allow the nomination of Suffragan Bishops for those
dioceses where the bishops are incapacitated, in
consequence of age or infirmities, from discharging
their episcopal duties. There is no occasion for a
new act of Parliament, as an act is at present in
existence, passed in the reign of Henry VIII.,
empowering the appointment. The bishop re-
quiring such assistance nominates two persons, and
the Crown selects one for consecration. Under
this act Suffragans have no positive jurisdiction, no
actual sees, and no claim to succession to diocesan
bishoprics. The Bishop of London is very anxious
for the appointment of a suffragan, and has exerted
his influence with the Government to allow the
nomination. In the event of tho Government ac-
ceding to his wish, his Lordship will, in all proba-
bility, nominate the Rev. G. Wilson flutnphry,
8.D., Vicar of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, late ,
Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, and the
Venerable John Sinclair, M.A., Vicar of Kensing-
ton, and Archdeacon of liddie§ex.

THE BANDS IN THE PARKS.

A STRANGE MEETING.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—On Thursday, the sth inst., at 7 p.m., a party
of "friends of religion" announce their intention to hold
a public meeting at the Shaftesbury Schools, Salisbury-
street, Portman-market, to prove that "music under
heaven," on the Sabbath, is "unchristian" and " dese-
crating ;" furthermore, to "thank Lord Palmerston,"
and "remonstrate with Sir B. Hail," for the parts they
have taken in the affair, and urge the Queen to give up
her "music under heaven" at Windsor. But the Queen,
like the rest of us, can never be demoralised by sweet
sounds ' • and Lord Palmerston still being for "music
under heaven," friends will "thank him for nothing."
What, then, is such meeting for ?—Yours, for True
Christianity, H. D. GRIFFITHS.
