LAMENT.

THE LIVERPOOL BORO

UGH BANK.

A general meeting of the proprietors and con-
tributories of this bank was held on Wednesday for
the purpose of receiving the resignation of Mr.
Joshua nixon, as one of the liquidators, Mr. J.
H. Branker occupied the chair.
Mr. DIXON, in explaining the reasons which had
led him to tender his resignation, made the follow-
ing observations :—ln thus taking leave of you, I
wish, with your permission, to make a few remarks
in reference to the widely-circulated misrepresenta-
tions of the facts elicited in the case of " Scott v.
Dixon." I have adopted a course with regard to
cases of a similar nature, which has not yet resulted
in the attempt, by a new trial, to obtain a reversal
of the verdict obtained in that case. But whether
there be a new trial or not, I do not the less protest
against the great injustice done to me by that ver-
dict. The only case made against me, or that can be
made against me, rests within the narrow limits of
my having concurred in the report issued to the
shareholders in Ally, 1857, when I had before me
an estimate of losses, showing that the capital
seemed to be trenched upon to the extent of £58,000
out of £1,000,000. I did so concur, but only be-
cause I believed it impossible that any one could
read it without seeingthat the capital was trenched
upon. To show that this was my opinion, I may
mention that I suggested to the board of directors
the necessity of being prepared with reasons in
answer to the question which I expected would be
put, why a dividend had been paid when, on the
showing of the report, it was paid out of capital.
In anticipation of this question the directors were
accordingly prepared to give their reasons. I was
not induced to adopt the report that was issued
because I thought it would have a more favour-
able influence on the public or the share market
than my own draught report. On the contrary, I
entertained and incidentally expressed the opinion
in hearing of some parties—gentlemen who yet
remember it—that a report like my draught report
would inspire shareholders with more confidence
than one like that which was issued. I feel con-
vinced that if my draught report had been adopted,
purchasers of shares would have had to pay more
than they did. But, passing from what was meant
and intended, what was the effect—what were the
consequences of the report as it was issued ? Neither
I nor the board had any information warranting
us in entertaining a worse opinion of the bank's
affairs than was conveyed in the statement laid
,before us by the manager, showing an estimated
deficiency of £58,000, including the dividend which
had already been paid. This made the value of
the shares about £9 • 3s. each—the price at
which they were sold in June previous to the
report ; but after the bank's loss by. Doherty
became known, was £lO ss. and £lO. After the
report was issued the highest price paid was £9.
The report, therefore, caused the shares to fail more
even than the estimate of losses warranted. Any
gentleman who brings an action for injury caused
to him by that report undertakes to be aggrieved
because I did not impart to him information which
I did not myself possess, and which, as an outside
director, I was prohibited from acquiring by the
notorious rules and practice of the bank, which,
however vicious as a system, were yet in accordance
with the custom of the place. I speak of myself as
an outside director, because when the report was
issued I was virtually only such, for I had not then
had time to acquire the information to be obtained
by being behind the scenes. The report was issued
on the 28th of July, and it was only on the
4th of July, after an absence from Liverpool,
and from my own business of nearly a month, that
I wasked to supply the place ad interim of the
two managing directors in office, neither of whom
attended on account, as I understand, of ill-health.
I was a supernummerary, in fact, until the first of
August, after the meeting had taken place, and it
was only then that a vacancy occurred, to fill which
I was elected, and it was only then I begun to
receive the salary of a managing director. If further
evidence were wanted to show the good faith of
myself and of the board, and the absence of all
fraudulent or unfair intention, it is to be found
in the fact that a director purchased 98 shares after
the report was issued, with no other motive
than that of thinking it a good investment. This
gentleman had before him the statements on which
I and the board acted. It has been alleged that
I have uttered expressions showing moral
regret and consciousness of having done wrong. I
cannot imagine how such an impression can have
arisen. I have never expressed, nor felt, nor .had
cause to feel any sentiment akin to that of moral
regret. I have not intended nor done anything
that has produced, or that was calculated to pro-
duce, any impression as to the value of the shares
inconsistent with the knowledge I possessed.
Gentlemen, I first addressed you with the object of
exposing the vicious system of outside directorates,
by which well-intentioned and respectable men
allow their names to be paraded before the unini:
tiated as apparently vouching for the correctness
of statements respecting which the initiated know
they have no personal knowledge, being entirely
dependent on the report of others. I trust this
motive may excuse me for having had occasion to
trespass on your time and indulgence now.
Mr. ROGERS proposed and Mr. GEO. CAMPBELL
seconded a resolution to the effect that the resigna-
tion by Mr. Joshua Dixon of his office as one of the
liquidators be accepted. Mr. Rogers remarkee. that
the shareholders entertained a very high opinion of
Mr. Dixon's services, both before and after the
commencement of the liquidation, and said he would
carry with him in his retirement the thanks of the
proprietary.
The motion being carried,
Mr. MARRIOTT proposed :
" That the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Mr.
Joshua Dixon, as one of the liquidators of this company, be
not filled up, but that Messrs. J. B. Brancher, Peter Ser-
jeantson, Philip Rawson, and Harmood W. Banner, the
other liquidators, be, and they are hereby, authorised to
continue the winding-up of the affairs and distribution of
the assets of this company alone."
He also bore testimony to the value of Mr.
Dixon's services, and said the conduct of the gen-
tlemen associated with him merited some acknow-
ledgment, for they were bringing the matters
entrusted to them to a successful issue.
Mr. DENNISTOUN seconded the motion, which
was carried unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN, as acting chairman of the
liquidators, said they deeply deplored the resigna-
tion of Mr. Dixon ; but it would be their earnest
endeavour to make the loss as little felt as possible,
and they hoped in a moderate time to be able to
report they had paid off the liabilities of the corn
pany.
The proceedings then terminated.-

MANCHESTER ON NON-INTERVENTION. The
memorial to Government in favour of non-intervention pro-
posed to the Manchester Town-council on Wednesday by
Mr. Councillor Watkins was carried unanimously.
The London and Westminster Bank have re-
duced their allowance on deposits to 2 per cent, for sums of
£5OO and upwards, and 11 for smaller amounts. None of
the other joint-stock banks have notified any change, ex-
cept the Union and Commercial, which up to to-day have
allowed 31 per cent. on deposits made previously to the 25th
of last month, but have now fixed a uniform rate of 2 per
cent. The discount establishments have abstained from
making any alteration, but there is an impressioh that they
will lower their terms almost immediately to 2 per cent, for
money at call, and 2i with seven days' notice.
THE SUSPECTED CHILD MURDER IN LEEDS.—
This (Thursday) morning, Thomas Smith, the pointsman
charged with the murder of the infant child of Ellen Moxon,
underwent a further examination at the Leeds Town Hall.
Up to the present moment the body of the child has not
been recovered, and although the chance of its discovery is
every day rendered more problematical, hopes are oven yet
entertained that the exertions of the police may succeed.
Two additional witnesses were called, namely, William
Brown, who corroborated the statement of Mrs. Moxon as
to her visit to Millshay, to discover the child, on the day
after its removal, and Abigail Wright, a respectable-look-
ing young woman, who resides in Little Queen-street, and
who was delivered of a child on the 16th ult , of which the
prisoner was the father. In this case also, Smith had pro-
posed that the child should go to nurse at Millshay, but his
apprehension prevented him carrying out his design. The
magistrates, after consulting together for some time, re-
manded the prisoner until Wednesday next, and refused to
grant bail. The interest in this extraordinary case has
greatly increased, and the Session Court, in which the exa-
mination took place' was crowded during the whole of the
proceedings.--Leeds Mercury.
AN ACT OF HEROlSM.—Yesterday, a child, eight
years old, the son of one of our most respected merchants,
was playing on the edge of one of the locks of the Grand
Canal, Lower Mount-street, Dublin, his foot slipped, and
he was at once precipitated into the lock, which contained
from ten to twelve feet of water. His little playmates had
the sense to give the alarm, but though a considerable
number of persons rushed to the spot where the child was
seen to rise and sink again repeatedly, the known depth of
water paralysed all effort, and some cried for ropes, others
for poles, but none seemed able to render any effective aid.
At this critical juncture a young gentleman, Mr. Francis
Webber, of Upper Mount-street, attracted by the crowd,
ascertained the state of
rushed to the spot, and having
affairs, was pointed out the spot where the child was last
seen to sink. To cast off his coat and waistcoat was
the work of an instant, and though warned bysome per-
son of the danger of the enterprise, he gallantly
plunged
in and dived to the bottom. This feat he performedd -re-
peatedly, but without success. He now ascended from the
lock, and coolly divested himself of his boots and the re-
mainder of his clothes. 'While doing so he, with the
oY utmost composure, inquired of the bystanders where the
child was last seen, and while doing s he observed a few
air bubbles rise and burst on the surface. " There 1" cried
the gallant fellow; and in ex instant he disappeared. For
a few seconds all was suspense ; at length the surface was
seen to break, and the noble fellow rose to the surface,
bearing in his arms the apparently lifeless corpse of the
child. The child was instantly taken by a car to Dr. Reed's
establishment, Mount-street, and though to all appearance
life was gone, after the application of the usual remedies
respiration was restored, and the child was brought home
to his parents, who, by his return, received the first inti-
mation of his danger, and of his gallant rescue by the
chivalrous heroism of a youth,—Freeman's Journal,

THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

During the present week, very moderate supplies of
English wheat have come to hand, coastwise. By land-
carriage, fresh up to-day, the receipts were small, and the
show of samples was limited. Although there was no
activity in the demand, Monday's prices were supported.
Over 10,000 quarters of foreign wheat have come fresh
to hand. Good and fine samples were held at full quota-
tions; but low and damp qualities were very dull, and
nominal in price.

There was very little inquiry for floating cargoes.
There was a fair demand for the best samples of barley
at previous currencies, other kinds, however, were dull.
The malt trade was in a sluggish state at late quotations.
We had a fair, but by no means active sale for oats, at
full prices.

Beans, peas, and flour were heavy, but not cheaper.

COLONIAL.
TEA..—The market remains exceedingly steady, late
rates being well supported. Common Congou is quoted
15d per lb. _

SUGARS .—A fair amount of business has been recorded,
the trade having operated to some extent at the reduced
prices. In the refined market there has also been more
business doing, and some transactions have taken plane
in Dutch crushed at fully late quotations.
COFFEE.—At public sale full prices were realised for
Plantation Ceylon, and some superior qualities sold at a
slight advance on former rates. Native Ceylon and other
descriptions were held for higher values.
RICE.—The market has been very quiet, and the few
dealings entered into have been at a reduction of fully 6d
per cwt. _

SPICES.—A moderate demand has been experienced for
pepper at about late rates, but mace, nutmegs, and cassia
lignia have shown a downward tendency in values.
SALTPETRE.—The demand has been moderately active ;
prices, however, have exhibited little alteration of import-
ance.

TALLOW.—There has been a very limited demand.
Prices, however, are steady at 54s 3d on the spot, and 55s
6d for the last three months' delivery.
