He was quite ignorant for what purposes these sums were drawn
for; but the nisnager alleged, that with the money he had
purchased Jul shares, and that he had lent 721. to his friends,
who denied having received it; and that the balance was con-
sumed in expences. He was moat anxious to take the advice of
the shareholders is to what was best to be clone under the un-
fortunate circutnstunces under which he was filaced.
A respectable .solicitor, whose name was inserted in the
prospectus of the Company, said. that he came in consequence
of an advertisement in the public papers, which astonished
him, as he had no idea that any shares were ever issued ; it
was true that he permitted his name to be inserted in the pros-
pectus' believing' he intentions of the projector to he honour-
able; but he had no further intimation of the operations that
were carried on. No deed was ever prepared. Ile had waited
upon Mr. Whinfield that day, and told him the line of con-
duct he had pursued was highly improper, and that the money
should be forthcoming. Mr. Whinfield confessed his error,
and said. that the money should be forthcoming. or that he
would most cheerfully exchange with the subscribers Falcon
Steam Navigation shares, for the brass and copper shares.—
(Laughter.)
A'Shareholder said, (shaking his head), that he declined
having any thing to do with the Falcon shares ; that he had
unfortunately 1100 shares of one sort or another already; and
that the other day a director of a particular company called
upon him, and took 70 shares in order to avoid the responsibi-
lity which he was subject to while the shares were in the mar- 1
ket ; the object of the company not being realized, and the
same director was obliged to pay a solicitor's bill of cost of
2001. to avoid a law-suit. lie recommended the chairman to
endeavour to get from Mr. Whinfield the 94 shares and the
money which remained in his hands, and then advertise to pay
off the shares that were out, and dissolve the. company, and
never to have any thing to do with a similar association.--
(Laughter.)
A Shareholder, and Member.of the Stock Exchange, then
came into the room in a great hurry, and asked what was
done ; had the meeting come to any resolutions ? He stated
that he had been induced to speculate very largely in this com-
pany, at Mr. 'Whinfield's instance, who had solicited hie am.
siStaliCa to get the shares to a premium. lie, unfortunately,
entered into his views, and advised many of his friends. to
purchase, and he had been Rattly disgraced by the recom-
mendation. He purchased 230 shares, and would have con-
tinued purchasing, had he not discovered that Mr. Vhinfield
was selling the shares which he had so strongly advised him to
purchase. lie first smelt a rut when he purchased 30 shares
from a respectable broker, who was willing at the time to sell
hiin 30 more at the same price. He was ravished at tile pro.
pOsitiou, as he thought he had already parch cis all the shares
in the Market, and caught bears besides; for Mr. Al'hinfield
informed him that there were very few more than 200 shares hi
the market. He waited upon Mr. Whinfield to make some
inquiry, and found, to his great astonishment, a 'clerk. in his
office belonging to the broker from whom he had purchased the
30 shares ; however, he did not believe that they intended to
" rig" him in that manner,—(a laugh)--so that he went back
again to the Stock Exchange and purchased 20 'more from
another broker, who told him that he might have any number
at the same price.—(Laughter.)—He went to Mr. IC liinfield's
office again, determined to ascertain the exact operations that
were going on, for the number of shares in the market surprised
him beyond description. When he went to his office, who
should he meet there, but the very identical broker from whom
he had half an hour before purchased 20 shares.—(lemithter.)
The CIIAMMAN said, that he would wait upon Mr. H.
'Whinfield, agreeably to the suggestion thrown out, and endea-
vour to have the affairs of the Company put in a shape that
would prevent the Shareholders from sustaining any loss; and
begged once more to 'disclaim all knowledge of the conduct
that had been punned and so justly stigmatised. lie stated
that the Shareholders should be apprised of the result of his
exertions.

Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the Meeting
adjourned.

REMARKABLE DAL—This is the anniversary
of the death of Raphael D'Urhino, 1520, and of his birth in
1483 ; -of the birth of Francis Xavier, one of the founders of
the order of Jesuits, 1508 ; of Alias Ray being shot on quitting
Covent-garden Theatre, by the Rev. James llacknutn, 1779 ;
and of tho death of Lalonde, the Astronomer, 1807. Yester.
day was the anniversary of the deaths of Laura de Naves,
Albert
famed by the love and sonnets of Tetrarch, 1548;
Doter, the great painter, 1328 ; and of Dr. Richard Busby,
the celebrated Master of Westminster School 105 and of
the birth of Andrew puler, the French Critic, 1653.

The intelligence received yesterday of the fell
of Missolonglti, is hitherto without confirmation ;
but from the known wretched state of the Greek
defences in that fortress, we have never doubted
of its ultimately falling into.the hand; of the be-
siegers.

The official account of the Revenue, given
In a preceding column, agrees in the gene-
ral result with our statement of yesterday.
The deficiency upon the year, taki►lg that
of the last quarter as the basis of compu-
tation, is formidable—though perhaps less
so than had been anticipated, from the con:
vulsiun which has, for the present, so completely
prostrated our Commerce. Thus far, the prices of
agricultural produce have been fully sustained,
notwithstanding the general stagnation in the
manufacturing districts ; when they give way,
a result which sooner or later may be considered
inevitable, the general embarrassment will per•
haps be felt yet more heavily.
