Mr. J. DYER. another Director, said—l ought to
state that it is my firm conviction, from all I have
seen, that the intentions and motives by which Mr.
J. B. Smith has been directed have always been
those of honour and integrity ; and that there was
not the slightest indication of anything like want of
principle. It was a wrong, a censurable thing in him
to go away and leave such important duties to the
doctrine of chances ; that is a matter of blame which
attaches to him ; but certainly there is no evidence, I
think, at all implicating his integrity. And as it is
mentioned as a sort of palliation of the faults of the
parties connected with the affiiirs of this bank, that
Mr. Smith is a heavy sufferer, I may mention to you
that I never sold a share in the bank; that I am the
unlucky proprietor of 2,500 shares ; that these shares
cost me upwards of 32,0001. ; and that, upon the
whole, I shall be a loser of very nearly 40,0001. by
this concern.—(Sensation.)
We will also copy a part of what Mr. Wm.
SMITII, a managing Director, said—l am sure I
should be quite deceiving you, if I were to hold out
the yemotest hope that you will recover back any 01
your capital. 1 do not myself think that you will.
f have given my-- best attention, of course, to the
sultject, and I have come to the best conclusion
could ; and I think, although it is impossib!e, in such
huge figure", to make anything like an accurate de-
cision ; and although, I confess, wherever there is a
question I give safety the benefit of it, and rather
over-estimate the loss than otherwise, because I felt
it would be equally unsatisfactory to you to be told
that 50,0001. is lost, as to be told that you have
lost it all. So I have, in my estimate, had refer-
euce to the ultimate winding up, and to the ex-
penses and delay necessarily incidental, to it; and I
do not think that you can expect to get any of
your capital back ; but I do think that, if the assets
turn out in any way, as I hope and believe they will,
you may reasonably expect a good portion of this call
to be re-paid you.---(Applause.) It is self-evident
that we cannot expect our creditors to wait the tardy
realisation of our. assets; and when we show that,
under the best circumstances, we have not within
10,0001. of what will pay our debts, I think it is quite
necessary to make a call. The Directors have had
another object in doing so beyond their pressing ne-
cessities. They have desired to show, that however
unfortunate we may be, we are still determined to
look at the question as men of business, and to show
that we have that energy and strength within us to
enable us promptly and satisfactorily to merit their
det\iands.—(Applause.)
A resolution was passed " That no transfer of
shares be permitted, on any account or pretence what-
ever, notwithstanding that notice of any such trans-
fer may have already been sent in for approval of the
Board of Directors. '

-A
report has been very generally spread and ob-
tained belief by many, that some Chinese soldiers
had obtained instruction in the art of gunnery on
board the United States ships Constellation and
Boston, at'Whampoa, and that officers from these ships
had likewise instructed the Chinese how to work their
guns in the forts. We refused belief to a report of so
extraordinary a nature, but thought it our duty to
wake inquiries, which have not led to its 'confirma-
tion. Letters from Canton mention the same report,
buL merely as such, and as to officers being in the
forts, a gentleman on his passage from Whampoa to
Canton only states that he saw several foreigners
walking near one of the forts. kis probable that the
report first took its origin from several visits which
the Chinese Admiral made on board the Constellation,
where he was received with a salute and manned
yards; the crew is then said to have been put
through their exercise before the Chinese officers, and
as those are pretty generally accompanied by a
great•number of followers, people looking on from a
distance may have thought them soldiers come on
hoard for the purpose of instruction.

A NEw DRAMA.—A mysteriouS and long-winded
paragraph appeared in a Sunday paper yesterday re-
specting a new drama " by a lady, whose abilities on
and off the stage have undergone the severest test."
It has not been talked of," says the writer of the pa-
ragraph, " in theatrical circles during the week, be-
cause the knowledge of its existence and acceptance
has hitherto been confined to comparatively few, and
those few have felt themselves, to a certain extent,
bound to secrecy. For ourselves, an acquaintance with
the fact has not been obtained in any way whlth at
all pledges us not. to mention it, though we refrain
from entering even into such particulars as have
reached us, because we do not wish to contravene the
desire of the parties who are now especially interested
is the receipts of the theatre. The production itself is
of a serious character, and the dramatis personce will
require the whole strength of the theatre, including.
we hope and believe, the individual now at the head of
the concern." These fulsome announcements do
great injury to the Kemble family.

KENDAL TRADE.—There still continues to be a
fair business doing in several descriptions of goods,
but there are no signs of progressive increase, and no
new hands are being taken on. The want of water at
the mills is beginning to be felt severely. This is
most unusual for the season. We regret to say that
the hands connected with the building trades are now
very short of employment. The little occupation
which they obtained at jobbing during the summer
months seems gradually coining to an end, and the
prospect of a hard winter opens drearily for them.
Trade in wool continues stationary. There is cer-
tainly no improvement, perhaps no change in price,
but not so much doing.—Kendal Mercury.

TIIE NABOB AT HOME; OR, THE RETURN TO ENG-
LAND. By THE AUTHOR OF " LIFE IN INDIA."—This
is another addition to the many valuable books that
have lately arisen out of the society, the pursuits,
and the personal interests connected with our Indian
empire ; anal it is by no means the less valuable for
taking the form of a novel, for while it furnishes
ample entertainment to the idlest of readers, it con-
veys a large fund of solid information for those who
may need it. The Nabob is first presented to us in
India, just as he is preparing for his departure, the
varied details of which are given with much liveliness
and spirit, and include many important hints, as well
to the Johny Newcome, who has just arrived on the
Indian shores, vs to those who are returning thence.
The voyage to England is extremely well related,
and is evidently exactly founded on the experience of
the writer. lne chief events of the story occur,
Flowerer, at home, and add greatly to the excitement
and interest of the narrative. The number and
variety of the characters, the striking contrasts they
oiler, and the novel nature of much of the scenery,
render this work a very attractive one, particularly
at the present moment, when public attention is so
much occupied with the East.
