sideration of the introduction of a bill into Parliament
be deferred.
Mr. MoRGAN suggested that the loss should be treated
as, revenue, and spread over a period of five years for
liquidation.
Mr. NICHOLSON moved that the balance of money
now standing to the credit of revenue should be capita-
heed to meet Redpath's frauds.
The CHAIRMAN intimated to the meeting that he had
been informed by Lord Redesdale, chairman of com-
mittees in the House of Lords, that he would not allow
hese frauds to be capitalised, but that they should be
paid of revenue. If they trusted him (the chairman)
they would find their stock would rise; if not he knew
it would fall,
After a stormy discussion the chairman's resolution
was withdrawn, and one substituted that no dividend
should be declared, and expressing the opinion of the
meeting that the balance of 243,9231. should be applied
to meet the losses occasioned by Redpath's frauds,
which was carried by a large majority.
A proposition was made for the appointment of a nom•
mittee of inquiry,, which, after a discussion, was

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)
THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK,-PETITION.

To-day was appointed for hearing a petition for pay-
ment of a dividend on an assigned debt. The meeting
was marked in the official list as " private," but Mr.
Bayley, as counsel for Mr. Adcock, one of the claim-
ants, asked whether either party objected to reporters
remaining in the room I
Mr. Marsden, for Mr.' Adcock, said he saw no reason
that the matter should be kept private.
Mr. Pifford, as counsel for a Mr. Weatherfield, an-
other claimant, bad not the slightest objection.
The case was then opened, from which it appeared
that a person of the name of Hunter had made two as-
signments of his balance and on deposit notes for
1,0661. 10s. to Mr. Adcock and Mr. Weatherfield, at
10d. 6d. in the pound.
Mr. Adcock was called, and proved the payment of
the money for the assignment, and bad applied to the
assignees and trade assignee to learn whether there
were any other claims and did not know until he ap-
plied for his dividend that there was any previous charge.
Mr. Pifford said that as Mr. Weatherfield was too ill
to attend, and there was no proof that he had given no-
tice of his claim previously to the assivnment to Mr. Ad-
cock, he would at once give up the claim.
An order was made for payment of the dividend to Mr.
Adcock, each party to pay costs.
There was an attachment on the dividend in the Lord
Mayor's Court on behalf of a Mr. Shuttleworth against
Hunter, which was agreed should be withdrawn, and
leave Mr. Shuttleworth to proceed against Hunter.

INFER TS AT THE NEOROPOLIS,
LIVERPOOL.

LIMPOOL, Wednesday.—An important inqufry into
the truth of certain rumours of irregular proceedings
in the interment of the dead at the Necropolis,
Low-hill, commenced yesterday at St. George's Hall,
before Mr. Holland, a government inspector.
The inquiry was prosecuted by Mr. M'Gowan, the
law clerk to the Health Committee, who stated that by
an order made by her Majesty in Conhcil on April 7,
1854, directions were given as to the course to be pursued
with reference to burial grounds in the borough, and
amongst them was an order regarding the Necropolis, to the
effect that with the exception of private graves and vaults,
no more than one body should be buried in each grave. It
had been stated that in common graves it had been the
practice to deposit one day a corpse, and on the following
morning it would be drawn out again and buried in a
common receptacle with many other bodies, and that
practice had been repeated over and over again. Thus
in one form the order in council had been obeyed by
depositing the body in one grave, but on the following
morning it was removed to another part. Mr.
M'Gowan added, with great regret, that even to these
statements he must add that it had been the prac-
tice to remove from the earth, bodies which bad been
placed there under the supposition that the grave in
which they lay was to be 'their last resting-place,----in
fact, that some of the bodies, t fter being deposited in
private graves, had been removed, and those graves had
been disposed of again to other parties as nery graves.
He concluded by stating that by the act 18 and 19 Vict.,
cap. 128, sec. 8, any person having the care of a burial-
ground who should violate or neglect the specified regu-
lations, should, on conviction, forfeit the sum of 101. He
then proceeded to call several witnesses. The proceed-
ings were adjourned.

county. Mr. T. W. Evans, of Allcstree-hall, will
be invited to come forward, and no doubt ho will

frages of the electors. The Conservatives state that
they will bring forward a candidate in place of Mr.
Mundy.

sion.

Mr. James Bell,' and Mr. Wm. Bovill, of Wor-
plesdon-lodge, near Guildford (Conservative), Mr.

at present is that the present members will be re-
elected.

HEREFORDSIIIRE.—The Liberal interest are de-
termined to get one Liberal member in if they can,
and there is every reasonable chance of success.
The feeling is almost universally in favour of Lord
Palmerston throughout the county, and tho fact
of Mr. Hanbury, the junior member, havirig voted
against the Government .on Mr. Cobden's motion,
is expected to tell against him in the contest.
KENDAL. Glynn, the sitting member, has
accepted an invitation to become a candidate for
re-election, and there is little probability of any
opposition being made to his return.

Gladstone.

sent representatives, has issued an address to the

of his health, it is not his intention to longer repre-
sent the borough in Parliament than to the close

announcing that Mr. W. E. Forster, of Burley,
near -Otley, and of Bradford, a gentleman of Libe-
ral political principles, will offer himself.

lowing letter, addressed to the electors of the city
of London :

" Gentlemen,—l observe from a report of proceed-
ings of the Liberal Registration Association that after
my nomination bad been carried some question was
raised by Mr. Alderman Salomons (without the courtesy
of notice) as to my declining to vote at the late elections
for East Sussex.

" The meeting being adjourned till Tuesday, it is my
intention to offer such an explanation ae,- I have no
doubt, will satisfy all my constituents that my conduct
was consistent with the principles I have ever professed
on the Maynooth question, and which have twice re-
ceived the approbation of the citizens of London.—l
remain, gentlemen, your faithful obedient servant,
" March 11. " J. DUKE."

SUNDERLAND.-4114ddreSS from Mr. G. Hulson,
M.P., dated Paris, was issued in Sunderland yes-
terday. The hon. - member offers himself for re-
election. He says :
"I feel that some explanation is due to you for my
absence during the last session, which was occasioned in
the first instance by unavoidable attention to a large
undertaking with which I became connected in, and for
three months by a severe illness. It is true the private
interests of a representative afford strictly no excuse for
any absence from public duties, but, as the vast under-
taking which called me away involved seriously the issue
of my fortune, I trust that peculiar circumstances will,
in some measure, justify this single deviation from right
principle, and secure your generous consideration. Be-
ing now happily relieved of this absorbing claim on my
attention. lam again at full liberty to devote my time
and exertions to your service."
Mr. H. Fenwick asked the electors for a renewal of
their trust. Mr. Richard Hoare, of London, has
offered hiniself as a second Liberal candidate.

Horsley, offers himself as a candidate for the

has not yet issued an address, hut it is supposed
that he will again offer'himself.

who, like his predecessors, went into the house
without being troubled by an opponent, will, it
appears, meet with strenuous opposition to his re-
election. Already there is one candidate in the
field, a gentleman of good local position, Mr. C. It.
Smith, of Derwen Fawr, near Swansea. It is said,
too, that .Mr. Grove, Q. will also solicit the suf-

kenzie and Mr. Gregory.

ber, has intimated his intention of again seeking
