Directors to continue the payment of the interest at 10 per
cent. per annum, but enable them to declare periodical
bonuses on the capital called up.
As to the Catalan property, having regard to its impor-
tant position, the command it has of the seaboard, the faci-
lities it presents for construction of the now port, and its
general adaptability for the formation of streets, shops, and
private villas, a largo and remunerative return may also be
anticipated.
ESTIMATED PROFIT ON CATALAN PROPERTY.
On reference to Mr. Borde's Report, it will be seen that
when the various improvements which have been sug-
gested have been completed, and the Catalan property
fully developed, it is estimated to yield a gross profit of i
upwards of cent. per cent., and this within a period of
three years, although the estimates have been based on the
more extended period of five years, and that when the Fort
St. Nicholas is removed, and the new port completed, this
profit will be trebled.
MINIMUM INTEREST, TEN PER CENT.

WM. CORBETT, Secretary,
Inland RevenuP. Somerset House, London,
February 24, 1866.

On the afternoon of the 10th iust. President Johnson re-
Iceived a committee from the Senate and House of Delegates
of the State of Virginia, who presented him with resolu-
tions from the General Assembly of that State.
31r. Baldwin, Speaker of the House of Delegates, as
chairman of the commitiee, presented the resolutions, and
addressed the President on behalf of the committee. Pre-
sident Johnson made the following reply:—
In reply, gentlemen, to the resolution you have just
handed ine, and the clear, forcible, and concise remarks von
have made in explanation of the position of Virginia, I
shall not attempt to make a formal speech, but simply enter
into a plain conversation upon the condition of things in
which we stand. As a premise to what I say, permit me
first to tender you my thanks for this visit, and next to
express the gratification I feel in meeting so many intelli-
gent, responsible, and respectable men of Virginia, bearing
to me the sentiments which have been expressed in the re-
solutions of your Legislature and in the remarks accom-
panying them. The 3 are, so far as they refer to the Con-
stitution of the country, the sentiments and the principles
embraced in that charter of the Government. The preser-
vation of the Union has been, from my entrance into pub-
lic life, one of my cardinal tenets. At the very incipiency
of this rebellion I set my face against the destruction of the
union of the States. I do not make this allusion for the
purpose of bringing up anything which has transpired that
may be regarded as of an unkind or an unpleasant charac-
ter; but I believed then, as I believe now, and as you have
most unmistakably indicated, that the security and protec-
tion of the rights of all the people were to bo found in the
Union. Upon this conviction I based my opposition to the
efforts made to destroy the Union. I have con-
tinued' those efforts, notwithstanding the peril through
which I lave -phSsed, 'and you are not unaware that
the trial has been a severe one. When opposition to
the Government came from one section of the country, and
that the section in which mylife had been passed, and with
which my interests were identified, I stood, as I standnow,
contending for the Union, and asseverating the best and
surest way to obtain our rights and to protect our interests
was to remain in the Union under the protection of the
Constitution.
The ordeal through which we have passed during the last
four or five years demonstrates most conclusively that that
position was right; and to-day, after the experiment has
been tried and has failed, after it has been most conclusively
demonstrated that this Union cannot be dissolved, that it
was not designed to bo dissolved, it is extremely gratifying
to me to meet gentlemen as intelligent and as responsible as
yourselves, who aro willing and anxious to accept, and do
accept, the terms laid down in the Constitution, and obe-
dience to the laws made in pursuance thereof. We were at
one period separated, and the separation was to me painful
in the extreme ; but now, after having gone through a
struggle in which the powers of the Government have been
tried—when we have swung round to a point at which wo
meet to agree, and are willing to unite our efforts for the
preservation of the Government, which I believe is the best
in the world—it is exceedingly gratifying for mo to meet
you to-day, stan4ing upon common ground, rallying round
the Constitution and the union of these States, the preser-
vation of which, as I conscientiously and honestly believe,
will result in the promotion and advancement of the people.
I repeat, lam gratified to meet you to-day, expressing the
principles and announcing the sentiments to which you
have given utterance, and I trust this occasion will be long
remembered. 1 have no doubt your intention is to carry
out and comply with every single principle laid down in the
resolutions you have submitted. I know that some distrust
you; but I am of those who have confidence in the judg-
ment, in the integrity, in the intelligence, and in the virtue
of the great mass of the American people, and having such
confidence I am willing to trust them ; and I thank
God that we have not yet reached that point where
we have lost all confidence in each other. The spirit of the
Government can only be preserved, we can only become
prosperous and great as a people, by mutual forbearance
and confidence. Upon that faith and confidence alone can
the Government be successfully carried on. On the cardi-
nal principle of representation to which you refer I will
make a single remark. That principle is inherent. It con-
stitutes one of the fundamental elements of this Govern-
ment. The representatives of the States and of the people
should have the qualification prescribed by the Constitution
of the United States, and those qualifications must unques-
tionably imply loyalty. Ile who comes as a representative,
having the qualifications prescribed by the Constitution to
fit him to take a seat in either of the deliberative bodies
which constitute the National Legislature.must necessarily,
according to tho interest of the Constitution, be a loyal
man, willing to abide by and be devoted to the Union and
the Constitution of the States. lie cannot be for the Union,
ho cannot be for the Constitution, he cannot acknowledge
obedience to all the laws, unless he be loyal. When the
people send such men in good faith they are entitled to re-
presentation through them. In going into the recent re-
bellion or insurrection against the United States you
erred; and in returning and resuming your relations with
the Federal Government I am free to say that all the re-
sponsible position and places ought to be confined distinctly
and clearly to men who are loyal. If there were only 5,000
loyal men in a State, or a less number, but sufficient to
take charge of the political machinery of the State, those
5,000, or the lesser number, are entitled to it, and all the
rest should be excluded. I look upon it as being fundamental
that the exercise of political power should be confined to
loyal men; and I regard it as implied in the doctrines laid
down in these resolutions, and in the eloquent address by
which they have been accompanied. I may say, further-
more, after having passed through the great struggle in
which we have been engaged, wo should be placed upon
much more acceptable grounds in resuming relations to the
general Government if unmistakable and unquestionably
loyal men were presented to fill the placed of power. This
being done, I feel that the day is not distant--I speak con-
fidently in reference to the great mass of the American
people—when they shall determine that this Union shal

be made whole, and the great right of representation in the
councils of the nation be acknowledged. Gentlemen, that
is the fundamental principle. "No taxation without repre-
sentaticn " was one of the principles which carried us
through the revolution. This great principle will hold
good yet, and if we but perform our duty, if we but comply
with the spirit of the resolutions presented to me to-day,
the American people will maintain and sustain the great
doctrine upon which the Government was inaugurated. It
can be done, and will be done ; and I think that if the effort
be fairly and fully made with forbearance and with prudence
and with discretion and wisdom, the end is not very far. It
seems to me apparent that from every consideration the best
policy which could be adopted at present would be a restora-
tion of those States and of the Government up on correct prin-
ciples. We have some foreign difficulties ; but the moment
it can be announced that the Union of the States is again
complete, and that we have resumed our career of prosperity
and greatness, at that very instant almost all our foreign
difficulties will be settled ; for there is no Power upon earth
that will care to have a controversy or a rupture with the
Government of the United States under such circumstances.
If these States be fully restored the area of the circula-

Extraordinary Number of Fires and Great
Loss of Property.

During Sunday night and Monday morning several fires
took place in different parts of the metropolis, which were
attended with great loss of property. Ono happened on the
premises of Mr. Talbot, boat-builder, Church-passage, Ro-
therhithe. The steam floating engines and the land steamers
of Messrs. Shand, Mason, and Co. quickly attended, as well
as numerous manual-power ones ; but in spite of the exer-
tions of the firemen the flames could not be extinguished
until the boat-builder's workshops were entirely destroyed
and the adjoining granary seriously injured. The Royal
Society's escape, with cmductor Hutchins, was also soon
in attendance, as well as a strong body of the M division of
police.

On Monday morning a terrible conflagration happened,
about two o'clock in the extensive premises belonging to
Mr. Cunningham, saw mill proprietor and timber merchant,
Minerva-street, Mile-end. In the course of a few minutes
Conductor Edinburgh attended with the Royal Society's
escape, and was followed by numerous engines of the parish
and metropolitan brigade; as well, as five of Shand and
Co.'s land steamers. Owing to the inflammable nature of
the stockin trade, the fire spread with such rapidity that in
the course of a few minutes the whole of the mills and
workshops presented a tremendous blaze, and the fire also
attacked the piles of timber in the open yard. Plenty of
the East London Company's water having been procured,
the firemen went to work in an admirable manner ; but they
were unable to get the conflagration extinguished until.the
saw mills and workshops were entirely destroyed and the
timber in the open yard much injured. The total loss is
very considerable. The origin of the misfortune is un-
known.

A fire also took place in the premises of Messrs. More and
Co., brewers, Old-street, St. Luke's which destroyed several
quarters of malt, the roof of the refiners' shops, and the
staging for lifting goods. Conductor Shaw and Pusey
attended with the Royal Society's escapes and numerous
engines of the brigade, the land steamers, by Shand and
Mason following.

tion of the national currency, which is thought by some to
be inflated to a great extent, will be enlarged ; the number
of persons through whose hands it is to pass will be in-
creased, the quantity of commerce in which it is to be em-
ployed as a medium of exchange will be enlarged, and then
it will begin to approximate to what wo all desire—a specie
standard. If all the States were restored, if peace and order
reigned throughout the land, and the industrial pursuits
and all the avocations of peace were again resumed, the
day would not be far distant when we could put into the
commerce of the world 250 or 300 million dollars worth of
cotton and tobacco, and the various products of the South-
ern States, which would constitute in part a basis of this
country. Then, instead of the cone being inverted, we
should reverse the position and put the base at the bot-
tom, as it ought to be, and the currency of the country will
rest on a sound and enduring basis ; and surely that is a
result which is calculated to promote the onlyinterestsncotitonto

of water having been procured the firemen went to work,

Sores which are daily extending, ulcers which are hourly
deepening, may be arrested in their torturing progress and
induced to take a healthy action by applying this healing
ointment and taking these purifying pills. It soothes all
distempers and extracts all morbid humour from the skin.
Old ulcers of the legs, inflammations caused by varicose
veins, cramps in the lower limbs, can easily be eased and
shortly cured by Holloway's never-failing ointment, which
represses excessive and stimulates sluggish, evascular, and
nervous action. In constitutions breaking down under
piles, fistulas, and other similarly painful maladies, a few
applications of this cooling ointment will givo comfort, and
a pereiAtenee in its 11A0 will effect a cure.

,ure of a Loudon Swell-Mobsman.

An incident occurred in Edinburgh on Saturday,
which, verifying by another example the old adage
that "truth is stranger than fiction," has, on account
of the singular circumstances of the case of which it
has proved the denouement, created no little sensation
amongst the inhabitants of the town. Some two
months ago there arrived in Kelso a person of rather
a stylish and prepossessing appearance, and took
up his residence in the house of a widow lady
connected with some of the most respect-
able and influential families in the district. The
gentleman, who became known to the public by the
name of Mr. Weber, had formed the acquaintance
of the family in thefollowing manner : Mrs. D—,
one of whose sons had, during the course of last
summer, obtained a situation on board of an East
Indian merchantman, proceeded to London in the
autumn to bid her son a good-bye before his ship
sailed. Mr. Weber was then introduced to Mrs.
D— by her son as the keeper of a lodging-house
for gentlemen. Theyoung man, it seems had boarded
with Weber, and recommended him highly to his
mother for the attention and kindness he had re-
ceived from him. In the course of conversation,
Weber expressed a desire to visit Scotland, and re-
ceived a kind invitation from the lady. Of this in-
vitation he availed himself,as wehave alreadystated,
by making his appearance in Kelso about two months
ago. Various _circumstances—oonnected with his
visit, and his general deportment, led many of the
public to suppose that he was an intimate friend of
the family of which he was for the time being an
inmate. He treated the eldest daughter, an amiable
young lady not out of her teens, to carriages drives,
rides on horseback, presents of jewellery, &c. He
addressed the lady of the mansion by the affectionate
name of " Aunt." He was, or was supposed to be,
the most intimate friend of Mrs. D—'s son, the
young gentleman formerly alluded to. On these
grounds he stood well in the-estimation of many of
the shopkeepers and hotelkeepers of Kelso, who gave
him such credit that with several of them he con-
tracted debts to a very considerable amount, his
bill for jewellery alone amounting to upwards of
£3O. How long Mr. Weber (who was popularly
known as " The German Gentleman," with per-
haps some under-current of belief in him being
a nobleman in disguise—a count at least), might
have pursued his little game, cannot be conjec-
tured ; but anyone may judge of the astonishment of
the public, the sinking at heart of his easy creditors,
and the outraged feelings of the family whose hon-
oured guest he had been for such a considerable time,
when, on Friday evening last, a detective of the
London police force arrived in Kelso, after a
nice search for the gentleman, and, arresting him on
a charge of burglary, had him conveyed down
to the county police station. At the time of his
arrest Mrs. D— and family, it is said, were ab-
sent in Edinburgh ; and he himself, probably think-
ing that he had honoured Kelso with his presence
and patronage as long as he could consistently with
safety, had ordered a carriage to be in waiting to
drive him to the railway station next morning at 6
o'clock. The officer who arrested him had traced
him from London to Dublin, from Dublin to Edin-
burgh, and from Edinburgh to Kelso. The detec-
tive having found out where the gentleman was
" putting up," applied for aid to the county superin-
tendent, who furnished him with a requisite number
of constables. Accompanied by these he went to the
house, and having cautiously cut off all means of
egress, found the object of his pursuit in a room
with the door locked on the inside. On his person
was found several pawn-tickets of articles which he
had pawned in Edinburgh, where it is suspected he

Now, -as we swing .
Union with a fixed and unalterable deteiinlittiona
by it, if we find the counterpart or the duplicate of the same
spirit that played to this feeling and these persons in the
South, this other extreme which stands in the way must
get out of it, and the Government must stand unshaken
and unmoved on its basis. This Government must be pre-
served. I will only say, in conclusion, that I hope all the
people of this country in good faith and in the fulness of
their hearts will upon the principles which you have enun-
ciated here to-day of the maintenance of the Constitution,
and the preservation of the Union, lay aside every other
feeling for the good of our common country, and with up-
lifted faces to heaven, swear by our God and upon our
altars that all else shall sink in the dust together rather
than that this glorious Union shall not be preserved.
(Great applause.) I am gratified to find the loyal sentiment
of the country developing and manifesting itself in these
expressions. And now that the attempt to destroy the Go-
vernment has failed at one end of the line, I trust we shall
go on, determined to preserve the Union in its original purity
against all opposers. I thank you, gentlemen, for the com-
pliment you have paid me, and I respond most cordially to
what has been said in your resolutions and address, and I
trust in God that the time will soon come when we can
meet under more favourable auspices than we now do.
Mr. Baldwin—Mr. President, as an assurance that we
represent the sentiment of the State, I beg leave of you to
introduce to you the members of the committee, and to
name the parts of the State from which they come, in order
that you may be satisfied that this is a fair representation
of all parts of Virginia. I introduce to you Mr. Keen, the
Senatorfrom Spottsylvania ; Mr. Joynes, the delegate from
Petersburg; Mr. Carter, the senator from the county of
Russell; Mr. Marshall, the delegate from the county of
Fanquier ; Mr. Gray, the senator from the county of
Rockingham ; Mr. Pendleton, the delegate from the county
of Giles; and Mr. Grattan, the delegate from the city of
Richmond. We claim this to be a fair and equally dis-
tributed zepresentation of the people of Virginia.
The gentlemen, as their names were mentioned, stepped
forward and shook the President by the hand.
The President added :
I am happy to meet you, gentlemen. As I said to
another delegation the other day, I have no ambition and
no object beyond the restoration of this Government. I
feel that I am in a condition whore I can afford to do right.
I have occupied during my career ruzlnycdiffe,Fent posts
thiS GOVeriaiiiiiiit. I started at ono of the humblest cabins •in the country, and I have passed through the State Le-
gislature, the Gubernatorial "chair, both Houses of Con-
gress, and the Vice-Presidency of the United States to the
position which I now occupy before you. Tho climax, the
acme, the summit of my ambition has been fully. reached.
If now I can only arrive at a point at which these States
are all restored, each having its representatives in the na-
tional councils with the Union restored, so that we can
once more proclaim peace and goodwill among the people
of the United states, it will bo to me a happy day. I care
not what may be said in taunt or jeer—l care not what
may be insinuated; but I tell you that whenever I shall
have reached that point, the measure of my ambition will
•
have been filled, and more than filled. I have no object
beyond it. Oh, how proud and gratifying it would be to
me to retire from this place feeling and knowing that I
had been instrumental in consummating this great and
glorious end ! (Great applause.)
The delegation then left the President's room, after
each delegate had again most cordially and warmly shaken
the President by the hand.
