RE CONTRACT CORPORATION.

This was an appeal by Joseph Boyer and two other
shareholders against the order made by the vacation Judge
Vice-Chancellor Stewart, in the month of September, for
the enforcement of the £3O call per share which had been
made. The ground of appeal was that a call so largo was
totally unnecessary. According .to the statement of the
learned counsel, it appeared from the contributions that
the company was started in the year 1863 with a nominal
capital of £4,000,000, consisting of 40,000 shares of £lOO each.
20,000 were taken up on which £lO each was paid, giving
a capital of £200,000. In 1861 the company became unable
to meet its liabilities, it having been in existence but about
one year. It appeared from the schedule that the assets,
taking them at what they were valued at, not ther actual
cost, was £277,206. The claims against the company
amounted to £853,000, of which the liquidator alleged, in
support of the call, that £400,000 would be proved. On
the part of the appealing shareholders, who held 50 shares
it was contended that the call was made in direct vio-
lation of the act of Parliament, especially as not a
tenth part of the claims had been proved. The act of Par-
liament laid it down that calls should be made to meet
direct and not supposed liabilities. The learned counsel
said there were £853,000 of accommodation acceptances,
and it was not likely that, as comparatively little value
had been given for that large amount, that the whole of
that sum could be looked upon as a valid liability. The
shareholders intended to contest the whole of that liability,
and they had not yet had an opportunity of making that
searching investigation which it was necessary should be
made in contesting the validity of so large an amount.
Vice-Chancellor Sir 11. Cairns asked how much the call
of £3O would produce?
Mr. Jessel said £183,000. What ho wished was that the
Court would see what amount of debt was really due, and
whatever the hardship they' must be paid. He did not
think the Court would give the power of enforcing the
call of so large a sum as £3O per share would produce.
There was no objection to raise a sum sufficient to pay
off the actual liabilities of the company, but he did not
think the Court could sanction a call which was made in
anticipation of a vast amount of liabilities being proved.
Lord Justice Turner inquired if the official liquidator
was present? and, on receiving an answer in the negative
said the case must be adjourned until the gentleman was
present, in order that the Court might see what the state
of matters really was.

the minds of the public, at home as well as in India,
not in the least favourable to the Commander-in-

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

The Calcutta Engli.s:hman of Oct. 6 reports that—
"ln the produce market rather a better business
has been done. In the import market a better tone
is noticeable for piece goods, but scarcely any per-
ceptible advance in prices has taken place. In
the money-market no alteration has been made
in the Bank of B engal's rates, but money is still
very easy in the open market at rates below those
current at the bank. In Government paper there
has been very little business doing, and prices have
a downward tendency. In exchange business has
been active for this mail, and rates have advanced.
For freights a fair amount of business has been done
during the fortnight.
The Bombay Gazette of Oct. 13 states :

Our money-market has again been subject to depressing
influences during the fortnight, but the more favourable
intelligence from home has helped to check the uneasiness
arising from the suspension of the Asiatic Bank. The
stoppage of the Bombay branch of this bank was announced
on the 29th ult., and on the 11th inst. wo were informed of
the closing of the London office and all the bank's branches.
There have been a few native failures in the interval since
our last, but the heaviest of these aro now over; the posi-
tion of others will be to somo extent improved by the re-
cent advance of cotton. The demand for money cannot be
said to have.materially increased. In Government Secu-
rities a steady business has been in progress. In exchange
rates have had a gradually advancing tendency during the
fortnight. A considerable amount of bank paper has been
bought by remitters. The market for imports opened
steadily on the close of last mail. An active business has
been done throughout the fortnight. During the past few
days there has certainly been a partial slackening in the
demand.

NEWMARKET.

Mat Dawsou's Derby horses were resting this morning,
but he had several of the Blue Riband candidates at exer-
cise, including Dragon, The Rake, The Hermit, and
D'Estournel. The Frenchman cantered twice, and then
went a mile pretty fast. The Rake and Friponnier did
three-quarters of a mile. The Hermit had a
couple of canters, and subsequently galloped over a
mile quietly. D'Estournel was trotting with Ra-
violi. About 200 yearlings were in course of prepara-
tion this morning. Eight of Lord Glasgow's Doncaster
yearlings have just arrived at Harlocks ; they are large-
framed, promising youngsters.

IMPORTANT BRAZILIAN COMMUNICATION.

We have been favoured in a semi-official manner with
the following purport of despatches just received from Ad-
miral Tamandar6 ; the Brazilians of course are entirely
opposed to the rumoured peace, so that wo must receive
the annexed information cum grano sails:—
_

"The propositions of peace made by Lopez have bad
no result at all.

"Polidoro refused to assist at the interview, which took
place between Mitre, Flores, and Lopez.
" After that Mitre, Flores, Octaviano, and Polidoro have
met together, and have been unanimous to make known
to Lopez that the peace could not be accepted, only with
the condition of executing all clauses of the treaty of
_ _ _

" And Lopez, on being infornied of that resolution, re-
plied, Very well, if so, I will continue the war with so
much horror that the world will be stupifiod, and Paraguay
will be my tomb."'
_ _

Hostilities were immediately resumed, and the
attack on Curnpaity ended in a loss of over one-
third of the allied army.
Notwithstanding this the Emperor of Brazil has
granted 1,271 condecorations and titles, of which
we have been favoured with a list too long and
unimportant to be reproduced. The Provincial
Bank of Buenos Ayres has made an issue of
£BOO,OOO in Treasury Bills, and has passed a law
for extra import and export duty.

President General Flores has returned to Monte-
video with the remnant of his army, 400 men. In
his capital, as well as at Buenos .Ayres, fears of re-
volution are entertained.
From abroad news is equally unfavourable to the
allies. The United States Government have
ordered their Ministers to ask for their passports
on account of refusing the Hon. Mr. Washburn a
passage to Paraguay—and now it seems the French
gunboat Decidee has met the same fate. All this
broods little good for tbo allies, and peace is greatly
to be desired.

MARKETS.—This Day.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

The supply of beasts on sale here to-day was only mode-
rate ; nevertheless, all breeds moved off heavily, on rather
lower terms. The:extreme.figure was 5s 2d per 81bs. We
were rather scantily supplied wit 4). sheep. Owing to the
heaviness in the dead markets, sales progressed slowly,
and tho quotations had a drooping tendency. The best
Downs and half-breds sold at 6s per 81bs. Scarcely any
change took place in the value of calves, the supply of
which was by no means extensive. Pigs were very dull,
and 2d per Sibs lower in price.
London, England, 1866-02-23

MANCHESTER—TnunspAy.

-----
Trade since our last report has undergone no material
change, the demand for all articles being confined to the
requirements of the buyers for present consumption, at
the prices previously current. Our market this morning
was languid, the transactions in all articles being exceed-
ingly limited, without any quotable change from the cur-
rency of this day se'nnight.
London, England, 1866-02-23

Election Petitions.

A supplementary list of election petitions was
printed in yesterday's " Votes," which brings up
the total to the number of 60.

BARNSTAPLE.—A third petition has been pre-
sented against the return made at the late election
for Barnstaple. This petition, which emanates from
two electors, imputes to Mr. T. Cave the employ-
ment of illegal means to procure his return, and
charges him and his agents with bribery, corrup-
tion, treating, and intimidation, upon which grounds
they ask the house to declare the return of Mr.
Cave to be null and void.

CANTERBURY.—A short but comprehensive peti-
tion from two electors imputes to Mr. Huddleston
and Mr. Butler Johnstone bribery, treating, and
undue influence, and therefore sulunits that the re-
turn is invalid.

D P.OGIIEDA. —Mr. Francis Brodegan, the defeated
candidate at the general election, has presented an
enormously lengthy petition against the return of
his successful rival, Mr. Whitworth, whose majo-
r:ty over himself he declares to be only apparent
and colourable, having been obtained through " ex-
tensive, open, and notorious bribery, and undue
influence, threats, menaces, and intimidation, and
other illegal and riotous means." There are also
special statements to the effect that in 1863 Mr.
Whitworth, in contemplation of an expected
vacancy in the borough, suggested the formation of
waterworks by means of a joint-stock company, of
whose shares one half are in his hands ; also that in
1864 Mr. Whitworth offered to build a town or
temperance hall at his own expense, which was
finished in 1865, and presented to the borough.
The petitioner also complains that his committee
rooms were by a preconcerted plan attacked by the
partizans of the sitting member, and that the police
did not interfere for his protection. The petitioner
further alleges that Mr. Whitworth being a " total
abstainer," nevertheless allowed his agent " to dis-
tribute profuse quantities of ardent spirits and other
intoxicating liquors among the mob employed on
his behalf." Mr. Brodegan asks that the return
may be amended by erasing the name of Whit-
worth, and substituting his
own name as the elected
member.

LONDONDERRY CITY.-Mr. S. M. Greer, who
was an unsuccessful candidate at the general elec-
tion, objects to the return of Lord Claud Hamilton,
upon the grounds of bribery, corruption, and inti-
midation, and submits that therefore the return
should ba annulled.

PORTSMOUTIL—SeveraI electors of this borough
denounce the return of Mr. Sergeant Gaselee and
Mr. W. 11. Stone as having been procured by means
of bribery, corruption, and treating. They also aver
London, England, 1866-02-23

CITY OF LONDON.

Yesterday the Sheriffs of London received the
Speaker's writ, directing a fresh election for the
city of London, consequent upon Mr. Goschen
having accepted an office under the Crown, and they
have fixed Monday next, at 12 o'clock, for such
election in the Guildhall. According to custom the
writ was officially proclaimed yesterday morning,
both in Guildhall and in front of the Royal Ex-

EPPING FOREST.

Mr. DOULTON asked the First Commissioner of Works
whether he was aware of inclosures now proceeding in
Epping Forest to the extent of many hundred acres, espe-
cially near Loughton, Woodford, and Epping ; whether he
was aware that Lord Cowley had already enclosed
nearly 300 acres since the announcement was made of
the intentions of her Majesty's Government in reference
to open spaces ; whether the Crown had any rights over
the land so enclosed ; or, if not, the rate per acre at which
the Crown's forestal rights had been purchased ; and
whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government
to take any step 3 to prevent any further inclosures, pend-
ing the introduction and passing of the bill promised to be
introduced early this session.

Mr. CHILDERS said the Government were not aware
of the enclosure of any parts of the forest except those of
the forestal rights, which had been disposed of, and over
which the Government had no control. With re-
spect to the next question, Lord Cowley might
have enclosed certain land, the forestal rights
of which were purchased some time ago by
Lord Mornington. Certain forestalyights had been purchased
at between £4 and £3 an acre. The Treasury were still
in correspondence with the Metropolitan Board of Works.
Since the report of the last committee no fresh instructions
have been issued by the Treasury.

RICHMOND.

Au unexpected turn has been given to the pro-
bable representation of this borough. Mr. Sussex
Milbank, who was announced on Tuesday, has re-
tired in favour of Mr. Marmaduke Wyvill, a gen-
tleman of Whig principles, who represented the
borough for several years previous to the last elec-
tion. Mr. Wyvill has arrived in the town and com-
menced an active canvass, rendered necessary by
the appearance, in the Conservative interest, of Mr.
Roberts, a gentleman represented to be in the legal
profession, who is also canvassing the electors. The
prospect of a contest is something of a novelty in
the borough, the last having occurred nearly 30
years ago.

Election Petitions.

A supplementary list of election petitions was
printed in yesterday's " Votes," which brings up
the total to the number of 60.

BARNSTAPLE.—A third petition has been pre-
sented against the return made at the late election
for Barnstaple. This petition, which emanates from
two electors, imputes to Mr. T. Cave the employ-
ment of illegal means to procure his return, and
charges him and his agents with bribery, corrup-
tion, treating, and intimidation, upon which grounds
they ask the house to declare the return of Mr.
Cave to be null and void.

CANTERBURY.—A short but comprehensive peti-
tion from two electors imputes to Mr. Huddleston
and Mr. Butler Johnstone bribery, treating, and
undue influence, and therefore suhmits that the re-
turn is invalid.

D P.OGHEDA. —Mr. Francis Brodegan, the defeated
candidate at the general election, has presented an
enormously lengthy petition against the return of
his successful rival, Mr. Whitworth, whose majo-
rity over himself he declares to be only apparent
and colourable, having been obtained through " ex-
tensive, open, and notorious bribery, and undue
influence, threats, menaces, and intimidation, and
other illegal and riotous means." There are also
special statements to the effect that in 1863 Mr.
Whitworth, in contemplation of an expected
vacancy in the borough, suggested the formation of
waterworks by means of a joint-stock company, of
whose shares one half are in his hands ; also that in
1864 Mr. Whitworth offered to build a town or
temperance hall atjais own expense, which was
finished in 1865, and presented to the borough.
The petitioner also complains that his committee
rooms were by a preconcerted plan attacked by the
partizans of the sitting member, and that the police
did not interfere for his protection. The petitioner
further alleges that Mr. Whitworth being a " total
abstainer," nevertheless allowed his agent " to dis-
tribute profuse quantities of ardent spirits and other
intoxicating liquors among the mob employed on
his behalf." Mr. Brodegan asks that the return
may be amended by erasing the name of Whit-
worth, and substituting his own name as the elected
member.

LONDONDERRY CITY.-Mr. S. M. Greer, who
was an unsuccessful candidate at the general elec-
tion, objects to the return of Lord Claud Hamilton,
upon the grounds of bribery, corruption, and inti-
midation, and submits that therefore the return
should be annulled.

PORTSMOUTH.—SeveraI electors of this borough
denounce the return of Mr. Sergeant Gaselee and
Mr.. W. H. Stone as having been procured by means
of bribery, corruption, and treating. They also aver

BURY ST. EDMUND'S—WEDNESDAY.
There was an average show of wheat at this market
to-day, and farmers were not reluctant sellers at last week's
prices. The supply of barley was short, and in all cases

CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(FROM OUR ONPVNAR
TOSI,I2rErShPuOrNsLEy CORRESPONDENT.)
The Emperor, who seems to make it his study to
consult the wishes and feelings of his people in
minor as well as in important points, has written a
letter to the Minister of the Interior, the Marquis
de La Valette, in which he states that he has per-
sonally visited the garden of the Luxembourg, in
order to form a judgment in regard to the oppo-
sition made to the proposed alienation of a portion
of the garden. The result of this inspection is thus
stated by his Majesty :—" I am convinced that it
would be advantageous not to prolong the Rue
Fermi, to leave intact the western portion of that
useful promenade, and only to detach the parts in-
dicated in the enclosed place. (The place enclosed
takes but a very small portion away, and cannot
perceptibly curtail or injure this beautiful garden.)
I beg you, therefore, to take the necessary steps to
modify the plans originally agreed upon." It was
about three months ago that the idea of cutting off a
portion of the garden was suggested, and the result
would have been a considerable improvement on a
thoroughfare which much requires it ; but public
opinion in France, like that in England, is decidedly
against any curtailment of parks or localities re-
quired for fresh air and exercise, and the moment
that general opposition was manifested to the pro-
posal, a communication was made on the part of
the Emperor to the architects and surveyors engaged
to carry into effect the proposed alterations. The
result is the material change which I mention.
General La Marmora has presented to the Italian
Parliament for ratification the treaty of commerce
between Italy and the Zollverein, a fact which seems
to indicate plainly enough that all the German
States comprising that Customs' Association have
recognised the kingdom of Italy. It is believed in
the best-informed circles that the opposition of
Austria will very soon be overcome.
French writers are not in general very accurate
in their appreciation of England and the English ;
but as it may be well that we should occasionally
" see ourselves as others see us," I give you some
portion of the amount of Glasgow and Belfast just
published in the Siecle from the pen of one of its
editors. I may remark, by the way, that French
writers always call Glasgow Glascow. The nar-
rator commences with a comparison of Ireland and
Scotland. In Ireland he met plenty of beggars,
but never in Scotland was a hand held out to him
for alms. He is astonished at the prodigious deve-
lopment of Glasgow within a century.. Glasgow, a
very ancient city, which may be called the Holy
City of Scotland, in 1760 only contained 23,000 in-
habitants. Now its population is estimated at
480,000. The French Revolution materially con-
tributed to this prosperity, for, by setting the Con-
tinent on fire, it left Great Britain the heir to the
work suspended almost everywhere else. Steam was

STRAITS SETTLEMENTS.

Lord STANLEY asked the Secretary of State for the
Colonies whether it was intended to transfer the Straits
Settlements from the Indian to the Culonial Department ;
or whether that project had been definitively abandoned ?
Mr. CARDWELL said it was not definitively settled
when these settlements were to be abandoned. The trans-
fer was to be made provided it was attended with expenses.
The military defences were still under consideration, and
unt:l that had been decided he could not further answer
the question of the noble lord.

MINES IN GREAT BRITAIN.

Mr. CLIVE asked the Secretary of State for the Home
Department whether the Government was about to bring
in any measure with reference to those mines in Great
Britain to which the Act 23 and 21 Vie. c. 131, does not
apply.
Sir G. GREY said it was the intention of the Govern-
ment to bring in such a measure.
DUTY ON COFFEE. _

Mr. MARSH asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether it was his intention to reduce the duty on coffee

Court of Common Council.

A Court of Common Council was held yesterday
at Guildhall ; the Lord Mayor presided.

THE CATTLE PLAGUE.

The TOWN CLERK (Mr. Woodthorpe) called the
attention of the Court to a communication that had
been received from Sir G. Grey, notifying the fact
that the Cattle Plague Bill had passed both Houses i
of Parliament, and had received the Royal Assent,
and that for a certain period no live cattle would be
allowed to pass through the metropolis. The Cor-
poration of the City of London was therefore re-
quested to make the necessary arrangements for
providing markets for the regular supply of dead
meat for the metropolis.
Mr. RUDKIN, chairman of the Markets Committee,
moved that the communication from the Secretary of
State be referred to that committee, for them to take
what steps they considered necessary in the matter.
Mr. BANISTER seconded the motion, which was
carried unanimously.
Deputy SNELLING said he should be glad if the
chairman of the Markets Committee would inform
the Court whether there was any accommodation
for the slaughtering of foreign cattle when they
arrived at Blackwall or Thames Haven ?
Mr. RUDKIN said that, so far as he was aware,
there was very little, if any, accommodation for the
slaughtering of cattle upon their arrival. At least
this was the case when he was there a month ago.
Deputy SNELLING wished to know whether foreign
cattle could be sent from Blackwall or Thames
Haven to London ?

Mr. RCDKIN said they certainly could not now be
sent by railway; and by the bill of Mr.-Hunt; which
was at present before Parliament, and whici: would
come on for discussion that night, cattle were not to
be allowed to pass along any public road for a
greater distance than 500 yards. He believed,
however, that a strenuous effort would be made to
obtain some modification of this clause, so as to
enable foreign cattle to be brought to London to be
slaughtered ; and he could not help saying that, in
his opinion, if this could be effected, it would be a
very great boon to the inhabitants of the metro-
polis. (Hear.)
