      A Companion To The Boyal British Bank Ca...

      A Companion to the Boyal British Bank Case . — A meeting was held on Monday of the London and Eastern Banking Corporation , which went into liquidation in March last on the discovery that more than its entire paid-up capital of 250 , 000 / . had been dissipated in loans to Colonel Waugh and other members of the Board , including Mr ; Stephens , the managing director . Captain Beville presided on the present occasion , and a report was read showing a reduction since the 11 th of April of the liabilities from 340 , 240 / . to 282 , 706 ? ., and of the assets from 334 , 010 / . to 269 , 996 / . The estimate of the loss to be sustained by the shareholders in

      addition to their entire capital has been raised from 6320 / . to 12 , 710 / . ' , owing to advices from India of the disastrous results of the exchange operations carried on by the directors in London to supply themselves with funds . During the discussion , opinions were expressed that the career of the London and Eastern Bank has been marked by circumstances far worse that those of the Royal British , and that it is much to be regretted the fact of its being privately liquidated will prevent it from undergoing a like judicial examination . In answer to questions from Mr . Guedella , it was stated that not one of the open accounts of the directors has yet been adjusted .- —Times .

      The Queen of the Netherlands . —The Countess "Van Buren ( Queen of the Netherlands ) visited Saint George ' s Hospital on Monday morning ,, and was conducted through the wards of that institution by a deputation of the governors . She left a sum of money with the secretary . She then paid a visit to Stafford House . Great Fire in Southwaric—Near midnight last Saturday , a dreadful loss of property by fire occurred in Great Suffolk-street , near the Queen ' s Prison . Its outbreak , discovered by a man named Serle , who rescuced

      some horses , took place in the shops of Mr . John Wilson , the builder , and the flames spread fearfully . The engines soon arrived , and were worked by about 200 auxiliaries ; but , -with the exception of a fow piles of timber , all Mr . Wilson ' s property was burnt . Not less than live houses were destroyed and damaged in Suffolk-street , three houses damaged in Kesterton-yard , two houses in John-streot , and many poor families burnt out in Rodney-street . It was nearly four o ' clock on Sunday morning before the flames were extinguished .

      The Atlantic Submakink Telegraph . —Tho conclusion of the manufacture and stowage of tho Atlantic Submarine Telegraph was celebrated on Thursday , by an open air festival at Belvidere House , the seat of Sir Culling Eardley , near Erith . An immense marquee was erected on the la \ v , n , and a cold collation was provided for eight hundred and fifty visitors of all ranks , including the sailors and artisans concerned in tho great undertaking . Cricket and other athletic games were enjoyed by these manly fellows during the morning , and at two o ' clock all sat down to table . Hornpipes , polkas , & c . followed , and everything passed off with the utmost hilarity . Among the persona of distinction present were —Captain Sandcs , with tho officers of tho Susquehanna

      frigato ; Professors Whentstono and Morse ; Sir Frederick Thosiger , Mr . Card well , M . I ' ., Mr . Cyrus Field , Mr . Raymond , & c . During tho toast-drinking after dinner , Mr . Cyrus Field , one of tho principal promoters of tho plan , road a letter which ho had received from the 'President of tho United States , and in which Mr . Buchanan warmly oxpreaaed his aonso of tho honour which it would be to him to receive tho firat measago on tho completion of tho undertaking ; and this , Mr . Fiold said , it had boon armngod should bo sent from this sido of tho Atluntio , ' by no less a personago than Hor Moat

      Gracious Mnjoaty . ' Mr . Glaaao , tho maker of tho Groonwioh half of tho cahlo , adverted to tho manufacturing difficulties which had to bo overcome in tho completion of ao gigantic ft work within bo brief a period , tho contract having only boon made last January , and 2600 milca in all being now iiniahod , shipped , and ready to ho laid down . —Captain Hudson and tho offioora of tho United States frigntoe Niagara and Susquohnnnn , wore on Monday on tor taincd at a dinner at tho Adolphi Hotel , Liverpool , by tho shareholders of tlio Atlantic Telegraph Company resident in and-near the town . Health ow London . —Tho deaths registered in London in tlio wook that ended last Saturday exhibit an

      increase on those of nine previous weeks . The number is 1061 , of which 550 are deaths of males , and 511 those of females . In the ten years 1847-56 , the average number of deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week was 1028 . But , as the deaths of last week occurred in an increased population , the average , to admit of comparison , must be raised proportionally to the increase , in which case it will become 1130 . From these statements it may be inferred that the present condition of the pubusual at this of

      lic health is at least as good as is period the year . The deaths from diarrhoea , which in the three previous weeks were 33 , 65 , and 133 , rose last week to 150 . The increase which this disease now shows is therefore not so great as that which appeared in the preceding return . —Last week , the births of 860 boys and 826 girls , in all 1686 children , were registered in London . In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1847-56 , the average number was 1379 . —From the . Hemstrar-GeneraVs Weekly Return .

      Mr . Sirk Ed-ward Pack Barber ha 3 becoms a bankrupt . He is described as a glass merchant , but is better known as the proprietor of the Samaritan Institution in Smithfield . He was acquitted of a criminal charge in connexion with that institution , and , having brought an action for false imprisonment , was nousxiited . His debts are now about 1000 / ., about 400 / . being on account of the institution , and 40 0 J . for law costs in bringing the action . Assignees have been chosen .

      London , Friday Evening , July 24 , 1857 . The India news nob having yot arrived , the markets have been kept in a very uncertain state . Tho nun ours are decidedly of a bad nature , nnd this has had tho effect of lowering Consols & per cciit . ; all foreign stocks have fallen , Indian railway shares are depreciated to a greater degree , and in tho original East Indian line they are no longer quoted at a premium . Ceylons are no better , nor any of the lines in Bombay or Madras presidencies . Tho demand for money has boon active enough , but no pressure . Tho advices from . Australia would indicate that over a million and a half may bo weekly looked for from Australia . All Canadian railway shares aro steady . Our liotno heavy market shares are 1 per cent , lower . Great Is ' orthcrns , with a law-suit in prospect , liavo dropped 1 { . to 21 . per share . North Stadbrdahiro and Borwicka maintain their prico . . . amount of
