BRASS & COPPER MANUFACTURING COMPANY•

On Wednesday a Meeting of the Shnreholders
in the above Company took place at the George and Vulture
Tavern, Cornhill, for the purpose of ascertaining, if possible,
what had become of the deposits which were paid into the bank
of Messrs. Everitt, Walker, and Co.' on account of the Direc-
tors—,Robert lil'Donald, Henry Edwards, J. E. Wallis
Thomas, A. Curtis, William Richmond, John Sturgis, and
Samuel Hoare, Eaqrs. The prospectus stated, that the de-
mand for wrought articles of brass and copper wax at all times
great, and must be on the increase; in a country where the im-
provements in the arts, and great shipping interests, at all times
ensured a consumption equal to the capital employed—that
the great supply of copper antleopper ore to the London market,
from the established Companies, as well as by the many new
Associations now working in the West of England, afforded
peculiar facilities for the material at reduced prices, and would
enable the Association to manufacture the different articles on
such a scale as. (with the powerful means possessed as a com-
pany) would gave them a yireference over the few great founders
who now divided the trade,, and whose enormous charges have
been long the theme of just and great complaint—and that, at
the annual meetings, the whole of the accounts were to be sub-
mitted to the shareholders, and a dividend declared.
Jon); ST U Gls, Esq., in the Chair, stated, that the meet-
ing was convened at his instance—that he felt himself placed
in a peculiarly unpleasant situation, in being under the neces-
sity of exposing the affairs of the Company, which were in such
a state that he felt it due to his character, as a young man be-
ginning the world, to at once disclaim all participation in what
had been done by those who had misappropriated the funds of
the Company. He had, unfortunately, owing to his inexpe-
rience, signed blank checks, by which means all the money in
the bankers' haads was drawn out ; and when he had called,
that day, upon the Projector and Manager of the Company, he
received thefollowing account of the money so improperly drawn
from the bankers:—
