The following is condensed sketch u the pro-
ceedngs:
The Court was not very numerously attended, al
though it was expected by many parties interested
in the American trade, that explanations Of the po-
sition in which the corporation has been placed in

proprietor asked whether the profits of the cor

half yearly meeting?
The Governor stated that the profits in the last
half year had not increased; they rather less
