meeting of the Cork shareholders in the British and
American Steam Navigation Company was held on Friday,
when a statement of the receipts, expenditure, profits, losses,
'd liabilities, was submitted by the mayor, who had spent
•or five days in London seeking for information. Some
!lad paid up from 2o 60 er cent. f the capital, ala
which, amounting to £67,000, p was lost,o ond there was a
,eticit in the assets in hand to meet the outstanding liabilities
of £9,499 ss. 3d. The losses were chiefly attributed to the
establishment of the Cunard line of packets, with a bounty
from the government, whilst further discouragement was
given by the proposed West India line, supported by a go-
vernment subsidy, and the example being followed by the
French and Belgian governments. The establishment of the
Cunard line, it was stated, reduced the passage-money 20
per cent., diminished the passengers from an average of 240
to an average of 165 per voyage, and as a result made a differ-
ence in the receipts on the three voyages in 1840, corres-
pondent to those of 1839, of £8,266 in passage-money alone.
It was expected that the payment of arrears, with an addi-
ional call of £lO per cent., would clear the company of all
abilities, and the directors agreed not to recommend the
.editors to proceed against those who paid .£6O per cent.
til after those who had not paid up that amount were co-
ed to pay up £6O per cent. The directors had lost fully
-third of the whole. Mr. Bainbridge lostlX6.ooo, besides
sorld of trouble and annoyance he had, for which, he
£12,000 would not pay him.
Fitzgibbon said, that the prospectuses set forth that
uld build eight vessels at £50,000 each, while it ap-
'•at the two they did build cost £181,431. He
directors of bad management.
..—The defaults amounted to £6,900, £3,500 of
considered good. He believed that one of the
reholders was in America, who had paid up but
.t., and his deficiency would have to be paid by the
)prietot.s. The assets of the company were put
.£5,875, and supposing £3,500 recovered, it would
',400 to meet £15,400, which was a deficiency
,-22,000 had been paid by the Cork shareholders,
_at few at the time had paid 60 per cent. Mr. Laird
no his full shares, £lOO each.
con,iderable discussion of a desultory nature, the
,wing resolution was adopted:—
" That, in order to avoid law expenses, the proprietors
rho have not paid up 60 per cent. are requested to do so
forthwith, and lodge the same in the hands of Mr. Thomas
Lyons ; that he then be requested to ascertain the further
liabilities, if any, of the shareholders, and report the result
to a future meeting, with a view to bring the affairs of this
unfortunate company to a close."

distinguished personages had expressed their intention of
being present on tEe occasion.
The celebrated Mr. Fenimore Cooper had been figuring in
the law courts, in two actions for libel against the New
York Morning C'ourier and Enquirer for a review of his
work entitled Home as Found. One of these cruses was
tried on the 20th, but had ended in the jury's being dis-
charged without agreeing to any verdict, after being locked
up from 3 in the afternoon until half-past 9 o'clock in the
morning. Upon the second indictment the editor of the
Enquirer had written a letter of apology to the attorney,
upon which proceedings were stopped.
The New Fork Journal if Commerce of the 20th of No-
vember says—" The government of the United States has
filed a bill in equity in the United States Circuit Court
against the Bank of the United States, the object of which
is to annul all the assignments made by the bank as fraudu-
lent, nud to obtain the, appointment of a receiver to take

able speculation in coffee, owing to the market having been
bare in tea, and the disturbed state of affairs in China; but
in consequence of the arrival of the Giraffe and the Jean with
full cargoes, coffee had declined in consequence, and a full
clean beau Manilla coffee was worth only 7d. per pound, with
every prospect of a further decline. The landed proprietors
of the colony were labouring under great distress in conse-
quence of the importation of foreign grain and flour from
countries where it could be grown at a much lower rate than
it can now in New South Wales—more particularly since the
discontinuance of the assignment of convicts, and the ex-
treme scarcity and high price of free labour. Notwithstand-
ing the heavy losses in wheat and flour last year, large arri-
vals from Calcutta and Valparaiso had taken place, which
were sold at very low prices. The finest South American
