ment in the Funds then current is maintained, owing

speculative operations. An important movement has
taken place in Caledonian shares. They closed 2 per

,"O'he following is a memorandum issued by the
rareholders' Association of Overend, Gurney, and
ininany (Limited), dated September 8, and signed
at Air. Oswald Howell :—lt may be remembered that
meeting of the shareholders in Overend, Gurney,
°f Co. Co. (Limited), held in March last, a committee
aur gentlemen who are largely interested were ap-
t%l)t°ilted, for the purpose of carrying on an action
terconimon law against the directors of that 21Matetin-
concern to recover as much as possible of the
tC Omit they have lost. Shortly after the formation of
hoil,cominittee, they issued a circular urging the share-
heCiers to assist them by subscribing at the rate of 2s
ro, share. The result of this application is reported
have been. highly satisfactory, as a considerable sum
I,o",.3N)eedily collected, which is still held for the pur-
e of defraying the necessary expenses in connection
the proposed actions. The committee, although
the belieying the amount in hand will be sufficient for
LYPurpose, at the same time complain that it would
Were been much larger but for certain rumours which
ti cto freely eirculdted among the shareholders, par-
tin'arlY in the neighbourhood of Nottingham and
tevealin, ta . the effect that the liquidators them-
i alee intended to carry on actione against Messrs.
m
the 3') Barclay, and the rest of the directors, at
th, F.x)sense of the estate. The committee aver that
thet itqltidators have written to them admitting that
at.3' are aware they have no power whatever to take
Y proceedings of the nature contemplated. The
n,lituittee had hoped to get the first case disposed of
thillY last, but found that utterly impossible ; and,
slii:e long vacation is now on, no decision can be
theB_'ned before November next. Independently of
ohatie,,,actions at common law, it appears that a bill
filed a considerable time back in the Court of
skenueerY, in the name of Mr. Dundas, against the
