By Authority of the French Consul-General.—Notice is hereby given,
that the following SALE of PRESERVED BEEF will be the last

on account of the French Government. -
4aALE of FRENCH COMMISSARIAT
SURPLUS STORES, consisting of PRESERVED ROILED
BEEF, of English, Scotch, and Irish manufacture, in tin canisters of
about 6 lb. each, and packed in wooden boxes containing It tins.—
Mr. A LEXR. COCK E has been honoured with Instructions to Sell by
Auctinn, at the L radon Commercial Sale Rooms, Mincing-lane, on an
early date in April next, of which due notice will be given, several
p ,rcels of the above description of Provisions, composed of the manu-
facture of the following celebrated firms, viz ,
Messrs. Henry Powell and Sons, London;
Messrs. John M`Call and Co., London;
Messrs. John Moir and Son, Aberdeen ;
Messrs. D. Hogarth and Co., Aberdeen; and
Messrs. John Dillon and Co , Leith.

All the boxes for sale are being opened and carefully examined for
damaged canisters, the whole of which will be selected and replaced
by sound ones ; the fact o' the beef having been original'y manu-
factured in this country under strict InTection, expressly for the use
of the troops in the Crimea, where it gave the highest satisfaction,
added to its being perfectly free from defective, tins, will give every
assurance to buyers of its excellent quality and fitness either for
home consumption or exportation. Packages included in the pur-
chase. The several parcels of beef for sale are now on view at Beal's -
wharf, Mill-lane, Tooley-street, where purchasers may satisfy them-
selves that every care is Lein; taken in removing from the boxes all
canisters unfit for use. Any fUrther information required can be
obtained at the office of Mr. Cocke, 2, Old Trinity House, Water-lane,
Tower-street, where catalogues may be had six days previous to the
sale, at the following places, viz.;—
Commercial Sale Rooms, Mineing-line ;
Corn Exchange,
arraway's,
- Baltic, and Coffeehouses;
Jerusalem
also at the news rooms of the principal inland towns and outportS.
The sale will commence punctually at the time stated.

POLICE IN COUNTIES AND BOROUGHS.—The estimated
expense of the police in counties and boroughs for the
current year is 145,9801.

THE NEW ACT FOE THE RELIEF OF THE POOR.—
Among the few acts of last session was one to provide
for the relief of the poor in extra parochial places. It
is provided that after the 31st December all extra pare-
places, where no poor rate is levied, are to be
deemed parishes for the relief of the pour, &c., and jus-
tices having jurisdiction may appoint overseers.
LONDON ATMOSPHERE.—What a destructive agent
is the atmosphere of London ! I observe that the Ro.
man Catholic Church in St.. George's•fields, built a few
years ago by Pugin, is already wearing a most
autumnal aspect : its foliage is rapidly decaying, and in
a few more years its crockets and finials will be num-
bered with the things that have been, and we shall then
be enabled to judge what will be the effect of a four-
teenth century building deprived of those interesting ex-
crescences. Should they be equally disposed to crumble
and fall off from the surface of the colossal structure in
the same vicinity—the Houses of Parliament—we shall
have a somewhat alarming bill to pay per annum for
new crockets. A consideration of the destructive nature
of Loudon atmosphere should have some influence in de-
ciding on the style and character of the future Govern-
ment buildings.—The Builder.

I REVENUE ACCOUNTS.—YE&R AND QUARTER
TO 31st MARCH, 1857.
The following comments on the foregoing statement
have been forwarded with it from the Treasury .
Customs.—lncrease on the year, caused by an increase
on all the principal articles of duty, except tea and coffee,
the reduction on which amounts to one million, owing prin-
cipally-to the anticipated fall in the duty in April.
The same cause affects the Quarter's Revenue more par-
ticularly,
Excise--.---Increase caused by augmentations in the receipts
for hops, paper, spirits, and other articles; the net increase
would have been much greater but for the repeal of the war
duty on malt, which has taken 1,000,000/. from the year, or
250,0: 0/. from the quarter, including the drawback on
stocks on hand.
Stamps.—lncrease on the quarter and year, caused by
legacy and succession duty, and other items of the
stamps revenue.
Land and Assessed Taxes.—Only casual variations on the
quarter and year.
Income Tax.—lncrease on the year, 1,018,030/. owing
to the additional 2d. in the 1/. imposed in 1855, whichl did
not come into full operation in the preceding year. The
compariscn with the quarter to 31st March, .1856, shows
only a small increaso, as the full rate was then in course of
collection.
Post-office.—The increase in the year and quarter is
.43 wing to an increase of correspondence.
Crown Lands. Revenue almost,stationary.
Miscellaneous.—Accidental variation only.

THE LONDON.AND EASTERN BANKING
COMPANY. •

The public aro already acquainted with the dilapidated
condition of this bank, and are made painfully to feel that
confidence can be extended to such commercial undertakings
only as have hitherto, by their open and straightforward con-
duct, invited and urged the most rigid and searching inspec.
tion and examination of thOtotutire operations. The last
'history of joiutTstock banks irinarked by too Many.distress-
ing calamities to credulous and over-confident shareholders
and depositors to justify unconcern or indifference to the
official movements of directors and managing directors.
The fatal downfall of the Bank of Manchester, the Northern
and Central Bank, the Monmouth and Glamorganshire Bank,
the Imperial Bank, the Agricultural Bank of Ireland,
still more recently, the flagitious plunder perpetrated by the
British (audaciously called " Royal ") and the Tipperary
banks—all these reckless and ruined projects, mis-named
banks, should not be forgotten, or their misdeeds lightly
passed over. The misery and wretchedness into which these
infamous concerns.plunged thousands of confiding and Indus-
trious shareholders and depositors would, on a bare recital,
unman the stoutest heart. In all those banks their destruc-

NEW PARLIAMENT.

tion was effected by tho iniquitous and collusive acts of
directors or managers ; yet, undeterred by the more early
catastrophes to which we have referred, men can still be
ound, it seems, to pursue the same evil courses—to appro-
priate to their own purposes from a bank money with which
they have been sacredly entrusted for the benefit of others--
and to walk about our streets, and dare to mingle in honour-
able society, with their pockets filled with the fruits of plun-
der. It is humiliating to write in this tone of any of our
educated fellow-countrymen, but there is some consolation to
be had in the gratifying fact that commercial integrity has
not altogether departed from us, and that joint stock banks
yet remain in this metropolis, faithfully and honestly dis-
charging their responsible duties with satisfiction and benefit
to all parties for whom they act. With respect to the Lon-
don and Eastern Banking Company, there are a few facts not
hitherto generally known with which it is proper that the
public should be made acquainted. We learn that Mr. Ste-
phens, the managing director, who had supreme control of
the bank, had qualified himself for the duties of his office by
acting as medical officer for some time on the staff of Lord
Gough in India. Such was his distingu!shed banking attain-
ment ! As to the advances made to Colonel Waugh, we under-
stand that Mr. Stephens conducted all negotiations con-
nected with those transactions unknown to his brother
directors until September, 1856, when the full amount
of mischief had been accomplished. The -bank solicitor,
was not called in, as, he ought to have been, to prepart.4
and execute Colonel Waugh's mortgage, but the colonel's pri-
vate solicitor was requested to perform that important duty
evidently _that the transaction should not be revealed until
tho fitting time for its announcement should arrive.
Some statements have gone forth purporting to show that
Col. Waugh's property at Branksea Island aud other places is
extremely valuable, and more than sufficient to cover his lia-
bilities to the bank. We have made inquiries as to the correct-
ness of these statements, and are glad to find that the Brank-
sea estate, with Col. Waugh's household property, &c., pro-
mises to yield a return which will greatly relieve the share-
holders, if not materially retrieve the misfortunes of that
gentleman. The information we have obtained may be con-
sidered as from a reliable source, but nevertheless it must be
received with zeservation, as the property, it must be borne
in mind, has not yet realised the amount at which it is, with
some confidence, valued.

The estate, it appears, was sold to Col. Waugh in 1852 for
13,0001., and comprised. about 900 acres of land. Since the
purchase there have been reclaimed from tho sea about 115
acres of fine land, situated on the north-west side of Branksea
Castle. This portion of the property has been valued at 501.
per acre, making its total worth 5,7501. It is estimated that
there are of rich clay deposits about 200 acres, which will
yield 20,000,000 tons of good marketable clay, upon which a
net profit of ss. per ton can be realised. This would give
5,000,0001. as the commercial value of this branch of the es-
tate ; and calculating the royalty or landlord's value at 10 per
cent. on the above estimate, Col. Waugh's interest would
amount to 500,0001. on the raw product of the estate alone. It
may be further mentioned that competent engineers have de-
clared that 530 acres of clay deposits may be successfully
worked, but the figures representing profit from such quan-
tity appear so extraordinary, bordering as they do on the
fabulous, that 200 acres on y have been set on as the quan-
tity to be worked upon. In addition to all this we are cre-
dibly informed that Branksea Castle contains a valuable
collection of paintings (about 360 in number); that attached
to it are the church, the parsonage house, from 40 to 50
dwellings for workpeople, firming stock, outbuildings,
horned cattle, with 500 acres of pasture and amble land iu a
flue state of cultivation. The surface value of the islind, in
addition to the mineral value, is estimated at 150,000/. ; the
pottery works and plant at 20,000/, ; and the stock on hand,
5,000/.
We are informed that, amongst other able engineers, Mr.
Neal, C.E., of Parliament-street, has recently reported upon
the property, showing its great commercial value, and that
the bank, under the advice of its accountant, has determined
to carry on the works at Branksea, in the hope of realising
20s. in the pound to the shareholders, and of restoring the
estate to Colonel Waugh. It may be added, that the samples
of alum produced from the clays on the estate are declared
by capable judges to be of very superior quality, and such as
will realise the highest price in the market.
Wo trust that, in Colonel Waugh's case, the damage done
to the shareholders will be fully repaired. But what is to be
realised from the property of the managing director, who
appropriated to his own use some 27,0001. ; and what satis-
faction is to be given by the other directors who so unjustly
possessed themselves of large sums from the coffers of the
bank, placed there in the belief by the depositors and share-
holders that such moneys would be faithfully and honestly
used I—Morning Post, March 31, 1857.

PRICE OF GOLD,—The quotation of gold at Paris is
about 6 per mille premium, and the short exchange on
London is 25.25 per 14. sterling. On comparing these
rates with the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10d. per
ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly
3-10ths per cent, dearer in Paris than in London. By
advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 424 k per mark,
and the short exchange on London is 13.3/ per 1/. ster-
ling. Standard gold, at the English Mint price, is there-
fore nearly 6-10ths per cent, dearer in Hamburg
than in London. The course of exchange at New York
on London for bills at GO days' sight is 108/ per cent,,
which, when compared with the Mint par between the
two countries, shows that the exchange is nominally
against England ; but, after making allowance for
charges of transport and difference of interest, the' present
rate leaves no profit on the transmission of gold either
way between the two countries, -
