In consequence Of subsequent manage
nnent we say that such stockholders are not
legally bound now to take their stock
because Of the fraud which has been
praclised upon Them.
In the second place, the meeting at which
this Committee was appointed was an Ille-
gal one, in consequence Of want of no
tice Of the same to the stockholders
hence the latter are not legally bound
by the acts OF ths, meeting.
10 the third place, we say ,ha, the Com
mlttee did not pursue such course as was
for the best interest OF the stockholders,
which, NJ connection with the illegalties
already stated, renders their proceedings
voidable, if the Company think proper to
make them so.
Thus we have presented this whole mat
ter fairly and truly before the public, and
we a.k OF them If the slightest confidence
is to be reposed In those men who have 50
basey swind!ed as Of our rights, in these
Transactions. II they suppose tina, their

Gre very much mistaken, for they have The,

A Sabbath or two ago, in small
church not a hundred miles from the
Sulway, a young preacher Of Herculs-
an ability, physical and mental, was
approaching the climax of one of his
Roman bursts of eloguence, when the
front Of the pulpit, which had for half
an hour, been treated most cruelty sud
denly gave way, and the earnest and
striking preacher, to the great conster-
nation of the audience, and the still
greater horror Of the precsntor, was
pitched headlong half way up the area
Of the church The preacher escaped
with few slight bruises, but the poor
precentor we are sorry to state, was
severely injured. Good hopes, howev-
or, are now entertained of his recovery.
