In the Chamber of Peers, on Wednesday, M. Teste
presented the report of the Committee appointed to exa-

Committee recommended to have all shares inscribed by
numbers in a register, and the shareholders to receive a
receipt, which should serve them as a guarantee of the
bond fide nature of the enterprise. Amongst other penal-
ties established by the Committee, the subscribers are to
have liberty of suing criminally all dishonest speculators.

ceipts, after payment of all expenses, amounted to up-
pards of 20,000 f, being a much greater sum than has
been obtained by this means for several years. It was
patronised not only by the authorities of Moscow, but by
the Emperor himself. More than 4,000 persons attended,
and the magnificent hall of the nobility's assembly pre-
sented a most brilliant spectacle.
