Exchange recently took the opinion of counstl on
the point, and yesterday adopted the annexed reso-

Limited Liabi'ity Act, when the allottees have signed
articles of association, the delivery of shares must be by
deed of transfer; and in cases where no such articles have
been signed anscrip certificates only have been issued,
the committee will not fix a settling day in such scrip,
unless they bear a stamp of one penny, and a limited
period be stipulated on the scrip certificates for their re-
gistration:'

THE NEW RUSSIAN FEONTIEB.--SO many incorrect
versions have appeared in several European Journale
about the proceedings and intentions of the European
Commission of the Danube that there is considerable
danger of false views being taken by the public on this
important sul ject. I take, therefore, this opportunity
to give you a concise account of the present position of
the Danubian Commission, en the corrcotness of which
you may rely. The Commission met the first week in
Nov. last at Galatz, since which time they have been ern-
p!oyed in the examination of the different months of the
river, in the formation of a working staff, and in the con-
sideration of questions relating to the state of the naviga-
tion of the lower Danube. In their examination of the
months, which from the lateness of the season could be
but cutlery, they were much assisted by the valuable
surveys of Capt. Spratt, R N., and by the lucid reports
of this efficer. These are the only authentic and eccurate
surveys to which the Commission has had access. The
project of as Austrian engineer was submitted to the
Commissioners individually, but without the surveys on
which it is based. The works therein projected involve
1 an enormous expenditure,_ and it is not probable that
ti,c7 will be adopted. The Commission will not pro-
nounce tin y; until its own engineera have mattear
