sionary schools were twice as crowded as the Govern-
ment schools. In the former, the Bible and cate-
chism were taught, and the schools commenced
and ended with prayer. lu the latter, until very
recently, the Bible was excluded. The Koran and
the Shaster were in the Government schools ; but
no professor was ever allowed, even if requested,
to explain anything with reference to the Bible,
not even as an historical book. Nearly all the
native professors and graduates of the Government
universities and schools are atheists. Their educa-
tion caused them to disbelieve Paganism, and they
were not encouraged to believe in Christianity.
Many of them are implicated in the present revolt.
Some extraordinary disclosures have yet to be
made public on this matter. Names are mentioned
in Calcutta of persons who, it is expected, will yet
be compromised. It is expected that Sir Cohn
Campbell will proceed up to Allahabad, or some
such central place, where he can best superintend
the disposal of troops where they are wanted. The
writer asked Mr. Hay if he bad any doubt as to
the ultimate defeat of the mutineers. He said he
had not the slightest doubt of their defeat. There
are about 21,000 European troops now up in the
North-west Provinces. The Sikhs, he believes, will
be faithful ; at least they have no sympathy with
the Mahommedans and Hindoos. The mission-
aries who were killed in Delhi were English church
missionaries. Mr. Hay believes that four of his
brother American missionaries, with their families,
dear friends of his, and with whom he corresponded,
were massacred at Futtghur. It is possible that some
men who are now missing may turn up again, but no
women could live in the jungle in consequence of the
intense heat at this time of the year. A railway
official. who bid away in a bungalow for five days,
and during that time took nothing inside his lips
but water, escaped with his life. All the non-com-
batants were ordered out of Allahabad by Colonel
Neil. The European troops are now much impethd
in proceeding up the country from Calcutta, in con-
sequence of the camping stations having been de-
stroyed by the mutineers.
Mr. Hay proceeds to New York in the Argo. He
seems to have a most intimate knowledge of every-
thing relating to the mutiny, and it seems almost a
pity that he should leave the country without giving
to the people of England the fruits of his experience
and knowledge of Indian affairs. He bad too much
trouble with a sick wife, who was confined while on
her voyage to England, and two young children, to
write on the voyage ; but he purposes drawing up a
statement (n.v.) during his passage to New York.
Some arrangements ought to be at once made to
receive the fugitives from India, who will come
home by every mail packet, at Southampton. Mr.
Hay was driven away penniless from Hindostan.
His expenses increased beyond his expectation on
the voyage, particularly in passing through Egypt.
If any one connected with the magnificent fund
now raising in this country had been stationed in
Southampton, so as to have offered him assistance,
such an offer would have been esteemed a graceful
act in America, and would have relieved a man of a
sacred profession and high intelligence in a strange
land of some temporary anxiety. Of course the dis-
tinguished society to which Mr. Hay has the honour
to belong are well able to support its missionaries.
Mr. Hay attended a prayer meeting of the United
Dissenting Christian churches on behalf of the suf-
farors in India at the Above-bar chapel in South-
ampton.

water per minute, night and day. The old roof of
No. 2 dock, on the site of which the present basin
is built, has been entirely removed, and the largest
first-rate in the service will now be able to enter
the new dock all standing. The Lords of the Admi-
ralty have given orders for another large basin to
be constructed at Chatham dockyard, on the site of
No. 3 old dock, the works for which are now in
progress by Messrs. J. & C. Rigby, the contractors.
This now basin will be 330 feet in length and 98
feet wide, and will consequently receive the largest
class of vessels in the service, which at present can-
not be docked at the other dockyards. It will be
built entirely of granite, the flooring being laid on
beds of concrete of great tbickness. The basin being
80 feet longer than the old dock, it will be ne-
cessary to remove a portion of the buildings
used for keeping the stores. In addition to the
above works Messrs. Grissell are erecting a large
iron building, nearly 100 ft. square, at the rear of
the millwrights' shop, in which will be erected some
new descriptions of machinery. The old iron stores
are to be removed, and on their site Messrs. Rigby
are erecting a large coal store, 130 ft in length, and
the same in breadth.

Frederick Darley, one of the numerous seamen
riggers employed in Woolwich dockyard, and who
was engaged with others on Friday last in dis-
masting H.M. steam sloop Prometheus, met with
an accident, which seriously endangers his life.
During the progress of the work the ship's maintop-
yard gave way, and fell among the group of riggers
underneath, crushing poor Darley, who, on being
examined by the medical officer of the yard, was
found to have sustained a very severe laceration
of the scalp and concussion of the brain. He
was thereupon conveyed to the Royal Marine
Infirmary, where it is said hopes are entertained
of his recovery. The ship's company imme-
diately volunteered to raise a subscription among
themselves for the benefit of the wife and
children of the injured man. Accordingly, on the
Prometheus being paid off yesterday morning a
comrade rigger was deputed to be present at the
Pay-office to receive the donations of the crew.
The list was thereupon beaded by Commander
Hope, who presented 21. This was immediately
followed up by a donation from each man, varying
from ls. to 10s., the total amounting to the sum
of 131. 103. 7d., which will doubtless be consider-
ably increased, as the subordinate, officers and
engineers expressed their intention of calling and
handing in their contributions personally.
Tho Locust, 3 guns, paddlewheel steam-vessel,
Lieutenant Commander John B. Field, left Sheer-
ness yesterday for Devonport.
The Cuckoo, 3 guns, paddlewheel steam-vessel,
Lieutenant Commander Augustus G. E. Murray,
left Sheerness yesterday for Portsmouth.
The Pembroke, 60 guns, screw steamship, Cgp-
tain John Fraser, saluted the Commander-in-
Chief's flag at Sheerness on Sunday at 6 p.m. and
left for Leith, there to resume her station for
Coastguard duties.
The Wellesley, 72 guns, was towed down from
her harbour moorings in the river Medway yester-
day, and has been moored in the stream off her
Majesty's dockyard, ready for being commissioned
by Capt. Moore. The Wellesley, it is reported, is
to be sent to one of the ports in Ireland for the
entry and training of coast volunteers.
The Hasty gunboat has been taken into the basin
at Sheerness, and is undergoing a thorough refit of
her hull, to prepare her to be ready for active ser-
vice.

brought forward for commission iu the fitting basin
at Sheerness.

The Sylph, merchant steamer, arrived at Ports-
mouth yesterday from the Channel Islands, with a
detachment of the Royal Artillery. The Sylph is
to take over a detachment of the 77th Regiment to
the islands.
The Ist battalion of the Scots Fusilier Guards,
since their arrival at Portsmouth, have introduced
much life into the garrison. As in London, they
march the dockyard with the band at their head,
playing vary excellent music, and playing the re-
lieved guard back to barracks. The other regi-
ments have followed the example, affording a great
treat to the inhabitants. The bands also play two
or three times a-week on the governor's green in
public.
The Mersey, 40, the largest sc..ew steam frigate
in the world, which is now building at Chatham,
has all the available force of the establishment at
work on her, in order that she may ba completed
early in the ensuing year.
. The appearance of Portsmouth Harbour at the
present moment is anything but creditable to the
authorities. On the Gosport:sidejthe entrance is
disfigured by a dirty convict-hulk, shutting out the
Illustrimp, naval cadet ship, Capt. R. Harris, o❑
b )ard of which ship the son of the Queen of Eng-
land will commence a course of nautical studies
next month, with the said convict hulk not half a
eabie's length broadside on ; and towards the
Portsmouth sh ,le a yellow painted hulk, called
the BAlerophon, which was yesterday brought
down to Victory's moorings. Surely either Duke
of Wellington or Marlborough, 131, screws, now
lying uselessly opposite the Hardway, could have
been stationed there at least pro tem., and receive
he Victory's officers and crew on board. It is to
be hoped that prior to her Majesty's return to
Osborne the harboUr will be properly represented
by at least the bulls of men of war, instead of con-
vict hulks and hospital ships, the colour of which
is alone enough to give any one the jaundice.

NORTH OF EUROPE STEAM NAVIGATION

COMPANY.

[A summary of the following appeared in our impression
of yesterday

Yesterday the half-yearly general meeting of the
sbarehollers in this company was held at the London
Tavern, Bishopsgate•street, for transacting the ordinary
business of the company ; after that it was made special,
for the purpose of reducing the number of the board of
directors to seven, and the number of directors neces-
sary to form a quorum to three.
Mr. C. Morrison, Chairman of the Board of Directors,
in the chair.

The report and statement of accounts showing a loss
upon the half-year, of 38,529/. ss. 63., and a total loss
on the balance-sheet of 187,1671. ls. 3d., the particulars
of which have already been published in The Sun, were
taken as read.

The CHAIRMAN expressed his sorrow at a second time
having to appear before them to give a bad account of
their funds, for the spending of which the present board
was not answerable. The hon gentleman then referred
to the items of expenditure and the profit and loss ac-
counts, fully stated in the report, and said, in reference
to the liabilities of the Company, that the new
directors had had claims made on them which the com-
mittee of co-operation had not the slightest idea or sus-
picion of their existence. So far as the directors could
now see, the loss of capital was 179,006/. 3s. 5d., and it
was impossible for the directors to give an opinion whe•
ther cr not the company could be permanently continued.
It was impossible forth° directors to state the exact loss
because it would be impolitic for them to put any value on
the ships. A low value would be injurious to the company,
because it would on becoming known be the' maximum
sum any one would give for them, and were the directors
to put a high value on them and did not get it, if they
sold them they would be misleading the shareholders.
The directors thought the best plan was to write off a
depreciation of 5 per cent, per annum from their value
In speaking of the future he reminded the shareholders
that the directors had only been in office three months,
during which time they had made great retrenchments,
and during that time the actual result had been a
profit, and it must be consolatory to the shareholders to
know that no more of the money had been lost during
that time. It should, however, be borne in mind that
the period in which the profit had been made was the
best part of the year. The directors had given the ques-
tion of winding up their serious consideration, but they
were unable to come to the determination of adopting
that course, and under the circumstances they thought
it would be better to continue the working of the com-
pany under the new system of management till the end
of the year, by which time they would have a better
opportunity of judging what had best be done. To
peremptorily wind up the concern and send 27 ships into
the market would have a prejudicial effect on their
.value, and the directors had not courage to recommend
such a course. He thought it was better for them to
continue working till the end of the year, and in the
mean time probably some of the ships might be advan-
tageously disposed of. In conclusion he complained of
the conduct of two proprietors, members of the late
Committee of Co-operation, who had unjustifiably
attacked the directors by letters in the news-
papers, adding that if the attacks were made in
that room, as they ought, with the shareholders
present, the directors would meet them, but that it was
impossible for them to do so in a newspaper controversy.
He also condemned their conduct in depreciating the
value of the ships.
Mr. Able's letter was however read, and the charges
therein contained answered by the Chairman, and in
reference to the earnings and losses of one of the ships,
"Levant," mentioned in the letter, he said that as the
ship was now sold there could be no objection to state
her cost. He found that her entire copt to the company
was 5,9411., and she was sold for 3,0281., being a loss
on the company by the sale of 2,9131. By referring to
the books be found that the net profit of her earnings in
1855 was 12,3201., and in 1856 of 1871., making together
12,5071.; so that, having lost 2,9131. on her sale, she
had, on the other hand, netted for the shareholders, after
deducting that loss, 9,594/. He moved the reception
and adoption of the report.
Mr. YOUNG seconded the report.
Mr. H. CRIDLAND asked the chairman whether he wes
prepared to state that the affairs of the company could
be carried on till the end of the year at a profit
The CHAIRMAN said that from the peculiar nature of
the company ho could not pretend to give a confident
opinion as to the result. All he could say was that to
the best of his judgment he thought it would be better
for the shareholders to continue the company three
months longer than wind-up at once.
Mr. NESBITT sab that after the decision of the Vice-
Chanceller Kindereeey relative to the Royal British
Bank in reference to the reception and ad.option of a re-
port, binding the asienting parties to its contents, it was
necessary they should act with caution. Ile expressed
an opinion that the company was only kept up to bring
traffic to the -Victoria Docks, with which the chairman
and Sir M, Pete were connected. He moved an amend
went that the report should be referred back to the di
rectors, with instruction; .to them to distinguish
in the statetnee. of accounts, appended thereto,
the losses sustained by tho company in carry-
ing on the trading operations for which the com-
pany was constituted from those incurred in operations
distinct from its original objects.
No one seconding the amendment it could not be sub-
mitted to the meeting.
A discussion then ensued as to the position of the com-
pany in the course of which it was remarked that the
constitution of the board required alteration from the
majority of the members being in some way or other con-
nected with Sir M. Peto, the originator of the company,
and also the late chairman, as well as their connection
with him in the Victoria Docks, &c.
Mr. Ataz addressed the meeting at consideraide
length, in the course of which he defended the state-
ments he had published relative to the position of the
company. He also enterer; into a detailed statement of
the operations of the committee of management, stating
that the secretary and a direct ,r of the company misled
him relative to the debts, &c., of the company, in a con-
versation he had with them. In the first instance,
they told him that there was no borrowed money,
and afterwards that there was 15,0001., then
30,0001., and afterwards 45,0001. They also at
first denied that the ships mere mortgaged, and
afterwards s'aned that two of them were. He scae
induced to make those statements to show how the late
directors co-operated with the committee, and the posi-
tion he found himself in as one of the e--renlittee. Ee
also stated that an official document was prepared fur
the guidance of the committee, in which the ships were
valued at 33,0001 more than they cost. Ho said that
as Sir M. Peto got up the company he ought to take it
off the shareholders' hands ; and he added that although
the shat'efeolders had been paid 9 and 10 percent. the actual
profits had beer. only 9e. 6d. per cent. He asked if the
late directors hal returned the fees they had received
for atte, dances.
Mr. BAGSHAWS, ex-director, defended the conduct of
Sir M. Peto and the late directors from the imputations
that been cast on them, and added that he firmly be-
lieved that Sir M. Peto had throughout been iafluanc,d
by the most honourable feelings.
A lengthened discussion also took place relative to
the answer given by Sir 14. Peto and Mr. Coleman,
the accountant, to a deputation of shareholders who
waited on them in the early part of the year, that the
dividends had been righteously earned, and that there
was nothing wrong. It was explained as being in refer-
ence to certain remaiks in the Tines at the time, which
attributed conduct to this company sitnilar to that of the
Royal British Bank, &c. Circumstances had sines
shown that there was nothing wrong in this company of
a character similar to the company to whom referenee
had been made.
Toe CHAIRMAN replied, in the' course of which he said
S:r M. Peto had returaud his fees, leas travelling ex
pensee, out of his own pocket. The Directors bad ap
plied to the Inland Revenue for the return of income-
tax paid in error on the last declaration of dividends.
The repert was then received and adopted.
The meeting was then made special for confirming the
nomination of the present directors—viz., Mr. C. Morri-
-1 son, chairman ; Mr. R. Young, deputy-chairman ; Mr.
C. Capper, Mr. J. Lawrence, Mr. W. Sthith, Mr. G.
Sparkes, and Mr. J. Yates, three of whom to be a
quoru ID.
.A resolution to that effect was submitted to the meet-
ing and agreed to.
'ho meeting then separated.

It is complained by some of the most influential
holders of the debt of Venezuela -that the meetings
summoned by the committee are usually fixed for a day
and hour at which it is impossible for them to attend.
The ntxt meeting is fixed for Tueiday at 2 o'clock,
when the members of the principal foreign houses will
be actively engaged on 'Change.
