charters, confirmed by acts of Par lament, and enjoyed for six hun-
dred and fifty years, of meeting and voting in Common Hall for
Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, Chamberlain, Bridgemasters, Auditors,. and
other out ers of the Corpoiation, and that the said Bill also contains
clauses abolishing the rights of the City in certain dues and metage,
without compen-ation, thereby introducing a principle of conitsca-

NORTH OF EiTROPE STEAK NAVIGATION

COMPANY.

Yesterday afternoon an extraordinary general meeting
of theeibareholders in this company was held at the Lon-
don Tavern, for the purpose of receiving a report from the
directors upon the affairs of the company. Mr. C.
Morrison, chairman of the board of directors, presided.
The CHAIRMAN commented upon the items of the re-
port, but said he had nothing new to add to it. The
estimated value of the fourteen remaining ships of the
company was based upon the actual sales of the last six
months. The estimate Was taken at a very low figure, as
was also the estimate of all the other property belonging
to the company. The works and factory at Lowestoft were
not valued. They no doubt formed a very valuable pro-
perty ; but it was not a prop.rty of easy sale, and the
directors were deci,ledly adverse to any forced sale. He
concluded by moving the adoption of the report.
Mr. LEE STEVENS, one of the committee referred to in
the report, said the committee were not unanimous in any
one thing. They all appeared to entertain individual
op•Rions en everything they discussed, and nothing could
therefore be agreed upon.
A letter was read from Mr. Gainsford, another member
of the committee, in which he declined to absolve Sir S.
M. Peto, Bart., from responsibility as a former director of
the company.
Mr. WHEELER, another member of the committee, and
a director, said the committee made an attempt to
organise a new company, but it faile J. Finding that they
could agree to no precise plan of arrangement, they finally
separated without making any report.
Mr. HANTLER, a third member of the committee, said
at an interview which they Lail with Sir S. M. Peto and
four other of the old directors, Sir S. M. Peto repudiated
all legal or moral responsibility in connexion with the
company.
Some discussion followed upon the transactions alluded
to in the report, and upon the sale of the ships disposed of
since the last meeting. In reply to some questions upon
the latter subject, he chairman said they had been sold
for the bast price that could .be obtained ; he detailed the
progress of the negotiations with various parties for their
sale, awl stated that they had been offered to the General
sf. INT.l7;f3o,thm nomnany. Lis I refused by them.
Mr. ABEL then moved as an amendment, "That owing

to the conduct of the late directors the report be not re-
ceived." In support of this amendment Mr. Abel remarked
that the directors, in their reports of 1853, 1851, and 1655,
had represented the company as prosperous, /led they had
declared dividends of Bto 10 per cant. They now pro-
tested that they were ignorant of the real state of the
company, but he could not reconcile this profession with
their selling their shares and getting out of the concern.
Five of the directors had reduced their aggregate holding
from 800 to 250 shares. Mr. Abel further commented on
fallacious anticipations which had been held out, and
which had resulted in a loss, proved by the investigations
of the committee to be not less than 350,000/. He observed
that the ships which had just been sold to Sir S. Peto for
28,0001. had been valued only a year ago, by an officer ap-
pointed ley the board, at 63,0007.
The amendment was seconded by Mr. GODSON, but,
after some discussion, the mover and seconder agreed to
withdraw it and substitute the following ; That the re-
port be received and adopted, but that this meeting feels
called upon to expr•_se its opinion that the conduct of the
late Board of Directors in issuing reports and declaring
dividends, which are now shown have been false, an lin
the means resorted to by them in the month of March last
year, for concealing the real condition of the company, has
been most unjustifiable, inasmuch as it was calculated to
be of pernicious example in this trading and commercial
community, besides being certain to be attended with dis-
astrous consequences to the public confiding in the state-
ments and characters of public men, and, therefore, is de-
serving the most serious reprobation which the shareholders
in this company can pronounce."
The amendment was negatived on a show of hands,
whereupon Mr. Godson and Mr. Abel demanded a poll. It
was fixed to take place on Tuesday, Wednesday, and
Thursday, from 10 to 1 o'clock on each day, at the offices
of the company; and the meeting was adjourned till Fri-
day, to receive the report of the scrutineers.
A second extraordinary meeting was then held to con-
firm the resolution agreed to at a previous meeting for
voluntarily winding up the company ; and a formal reso-
lution was passed for that purpose.
Sir S. M. PETO wished to say a few words with refe-
rence to the three vessels which he had purchased. Ho
now made this offer to the liquidators, that those ships
should be at their dispusal for the next month ; and if
during that period they could get a batter price for them
than he had given, or a better price for the others by
putting them together, those three vessels should be
wholly at their service.
'1 The meeting then separated.

THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA 81-4 L.

(Front Ole Times )

We are aware that it entails a positive loss of
caste in some quarters to speak with the most mo-
dente and qualified respect of the people of Bog-
land and the British House of Commons. It is
the faith of our high political Brahmins that the
people are " accursed," and the House of Com-
mons, their best repreentative, equally ignorant,
self-willed, and presumptuous. It is, then, at some
risk to our reputation in these quarters, .that we
venture to express our belief that never was there
so deliberate an insult to the House of Commons
and the people of England as the speech—we say,
not the motion, but the speech—of the member for
the University of Oxford last night. - After very
ample.notice, and after-much out-door discnssion,
the subject of India has been before Parliament the
whole of the Session in the form of two bills and a
series of resolutions .as good: as a third measure.
The house has twice most steadily and energetically
resisted attemp s at delay, besides fighting its way
through a greater. variety of obstacles than ever
'beset any other measure, with, perhaps, the single
exception of the measures which ended in tbe Re-
form Act. Never ' wae there Sri muck unity and
fixity of purpose. Indeed,. in the multitude of
topics whiciedee. not gat. the attention they deserve
or have become the mere bones , of, contention, the
unanimity - and perseverance of the House of
Cousiuons on .this .one point of India are quite a
consolatory and redeeming, feature, leading one to
hope that on other: points a better understanding
may at length. be attained. At such a moment,
When the character of the house seems staked on
its adhering to this one resolve, Mr. Gladstone
,rusbes in right athwart the line of the, discussieu,
and oecupies an important evening. ire arguments
eellielesseLebey :prove anything, prove that the
house shOuld do nothing at all. ',lndeed, thakcon-
elusion was evidently anticipated in'the very time
seleceed for the speech, which certainly had no
claim to precede Mr. Roebuck's motion, except
that it was of a more fundamental character. If
Mr. Roebuck's motion went against the existence
of a Council, Mr. Gladstone's speech went against
the necessity of immediate legislation at all. The
particular resolutions comprised in the motion
might stand on their own merits. Had they been
the first measure of the session, or had they be in
Moved as. an amendment to Lord Palmerstou's
'Bill, the House of Commons might. perhaps have
been faVotab'y disposed to a scheme for concilia-
ting the present Court of Directore, and making a
bridge nom the old Government to the new. But
it is wholly unnecessary to disausS the proposal,
not only because it is now overlaid by others of a
more durable character, but because Mr. Gladstone,
in the course of a very long speech, hardly said a
word about it. Practically, his speech was as much
against this as against any other measure for alter-
ing the constitution of our Indian Government
this. present session.
Mr. Gladstone thouglit we ought either to do
nothing or to do everything, and that no measure
would be of any use, no measure would fail to be
incalculably mischievous, which did not settle very
tho oughly and -permanently the relation of the
European and the native in India, the sccial and
political status -of the latter, the position of the
native army, the finances of India, the security
for its debt, and the extent of imperial liability ;
the mutual relations of the three Presidences, and
a great deal more. As any bill, to be worth the
time and attention of the house, must be thus com-
prehensive and final—must, in fact, be the entire
s du ion of the greatest political problem ever sub-
mitted to man, Mr. Gladstone very naturally in-
sisted on the immense population of India, on the
fact that the war still continued, that the expenses
mast be immense, the revenue impaired, and that
the House of Commons bad manifested a tendency
to fight the battles of party on Indian ground.
All this was exceedingly to the purpose, if the
purpose was to. do nothing at all. But as the
House of Commons, very faithfully representing
iu this respect the people of England, has twice
most solemnly determined to have a new, and,
as far as possible, permanent constitution for the
government of India, all these considerations were
foreign to any present' purpose. In-teed, as Lord
Stanley very properly obeerved, the main que'.-
tion before the house is the constitution of the
Home Government, and. that is susceptible of merit
important changes without directly affecting any of
the social, financial, or militety questions of Indian
administration. The change erabodiel. in Mr.
Gladstone's Resolutions would itself be important.
It would necessarily alter the forme and therefore
the constitution of Indian government. It could,
however, be made without another word as to the
debt, the revenue, the army, the European popu-
lation, the native Princes, the Presidencies of
India. In a still greater degree, either Lerd Pal-
nierston's or Lord Derby's bill would be important,
though it had nothing to do with these matters,
and related only to the construction of the Florae
Government. We are at a loss, then, to see what
i possible reason Mr. Gladstone had fur descanting
on the immensity, multiplicity, and impossibility
' of the Indian question, except to break its back
altogether ; to dishearten and paralyse the house,
and so leave the coast once more clear for some
new political combination..
If it is of any use to appeal to so old-fashioned
a virtue as patriotism, and so vulgar a sentiment
as respect for Parliament, we venture to beg that
the House of Commons may now be considered
to be in earnest, and entitled to something like
sympathy and co-operation. We do not see why
any individual member is to get up the next even-
ing the debate is resumed and tell the house that
it really has made a great mistake, that it
knows nothing about the matter, that it
ought to leave India to the Court of Directors,
and not meddle with a subject so far out of its expe-
rience and above its capacity ; that it cannot be
serious in undertaking so vast an addition to its
work as the government of 200,000,000 Indians on
the other side of the world. After a certain length
of trial it is a sin to doubt constancy ; and we sub-
mit that the House of Commons, having now de-
voted the greater part of a eession—yes, four
months out of six—to this one subject ; and having,
in the most business-like manner, returned to it,
with the fullest intention of finishing the work, so
far as regards the Home Government, and two or
three leading points of the Indian Administration,
new deserves to be let alone. We are, of course,
wholly disinterested in the matter. Were it a
matter of mere political feeling we might allow
ourselves to be biassed by a regret that Lord Pal-
.merston's very simple measure was not now regu-
larly before the house. The present procedure by
,resolutions threatens needless trouble. As that,
:however, is the curse on which the house is
'actually emb irked, there is uo choice but to make
'the best of the measure, and we are disposed to
resent as much any attempt to defeat and indefi-
nitely protract Indian legislation under its present
auspices as if this were the identical measure to
'which we gave our adhesion some tour months ago.

According to a circular of M. Arles Dufour, of Lyons,
tue news thus far from Mae silk-growing countries leads
to the expectation of a fair general yield. The reports
are as follows :—Spain, crops favourably settled ;
Naplv, good half crop ; Syria and Greece, very good
crop and low prices ; Roman Stetes, good crop ; Lom-
bardy and Piedmont, results uncertain.

can be, produced. Being of the same colour as the skin, is
not perceptible. It enables deaf persons to hear distinct ly at
elm& and at public assemblies ; the unpleasant sensation of
singing noises in the ears is entirely removed, and it adords!
all the assistance that possibly could be desired.-30. Alb.**
