tneir friends get places, or contracts j and the road is all the while gradually brought to a state of completion ; that completion is to be effected for a certain sum, as the most eminent, the most honest, and the most competent contractors have bound themselves that it shall be.Ot course until the running begins,and money is earned, there con be no profit, so that there is all this time no very accurate balancing of accounts; and in the meantime the promises of the prospectus, whether of 11 per cent, of profit, or of some larger or smaller sum, are taken to represent, and in very pleasant figures, what the road is eventually to do for its propiietora.At length the important anniversary arrives when these promises are to be shown to have been well founded, or to be proved to bo erroneous or impostures.Mr.President is radiant with smiles.The Directors walk about the room congratulating their friends on what they are about to hear, though coyly refusing any definite information up til the official document shall state the facts in an authentic form.tOnly during the preliminary half-hour numerous guesses about the probaole increase in the value of stock and money, friendly hints to hold on to the valuable investment, pass from the members 'of the Board to the non-official stockholdots at the the meeting.At length the report is read.The preliminary expressions of modest self-gratulation are not much heeded ; everybody is anxious to hear the important figures which show what the net revenue of the road has been during this year of trial.At length they are announced, and when the running expenses, deducted from the gross receipts, are shown to leave a balance of twelve or fourteen per cent, a torrent of applause sets in, which is hardly checked by the next statement, that, notwithstanding this excessive good fortune, which there is every reason to believe will continue till doomsday at least, yet, to guard against all possibilities of human mutability, only a very moderate dividend will be declared.The pleasurable feeling derived from the sense, on the one band, of large profits, and, on the other, of prudent management, thus excited, the audience is now in a mood to hear with pleasure that farther opportunities exist for investment in the same profitable direction.Another turn of the report brings under notice the fact, though such large results have already accrued from the road, yet, that the full harvest cannot be gathered without certain farther outlay, which, as the capital has been wholly expended, it is proposed to raise by bonds; aad these bonds are to be first offered to the stockholders.Accordingly, bonds are issued this year ; and the next ; and perhaps the year after ; the dividend meantime gently subsiding, but the promises for the next year being inflated at least to the same extent.About this time it begins to be discovered that an extension and two or three \u201cside tines\u201d are required in order successfully to compete with rivals.These are undertaken, with more capital subscribed or borrowed ; bat always expended by the same Board of Directors.At length the dividends stop at the very moment when, by all rule, they ought to be doubled ; interest on bonds, perhaps, also falls into default, and answers to inquiries as to any probable resumption of either one or the other is made to depend upon the unknown period when it may be found possible to sink the floating debt, \u2022which persists always in floating.At about this stage begin angry speeches, at those 'ere-while most agreeable anniversary meetings ; and then there is talk of committees of inquiry, which at last result in inquiry being made But committees seem by this time hardly necessary.A flood of light breaks in perforce, and information is volunteered in the most candid way, from sources whence no ray had previously appeared.Auditors find out for the first time that the accounts have been wrong for ton years, and establish that the figures which have their names at the bottom, and which show a most pleasing profit, ought really to indicate a result, when properly collocated, in which profit is the last thing thought about.Then every one, with the most charming frankness, tells all he knows, and shows that he has witnessed,\tif not par- taken in, and often has partaken in, a system of carrying on the Company\u2019s bnsiness, which is remarkably advantageous for everybody who has had the expenditure of the money, and very much the other way for those who have had the providing of it.The mysteries of the construction account are at last revealed ; and we find that it is the gulph into which have been thrown all those odd scraps, each of a few thousands, which, if by any left-handed proceeding they had found their way to the current charges, would have stopped, the dividend, and the premiums, and the Directors\u2019 salaries ; and the jobs ; and the branch lines and the extensions ; and would therewith have ruined the prospects of several interesting families.Like all railway discoveries, the Great Western report has come too late.\u2014 We suppose this want of timeliness is a fata-lityin such productions.Either that report or the last report of the Grand Trunk auditors,would, if the nature of things had permitted their publication a few years ago, have saved a great deal of disappointment.As it is, we can only refer unfortunate sufferers, who may think somebody bound to have made known the true facts a little earlier, to the philosophical reflections of the Turk, who, when he finds himself unable to escape from overwhelming circum-gtances\u2014and railway circumstances are as overwhelming as they are difficult to be avoided\u2014consoles himself by the reflection that it is his kismet or fate.It is the fate of Railway speculators\u2014barring Directors\u2014to be done; and until auditors and other watchdogs learn to bark while the thieves are getting into the house, and before they have run off with the booty, we see little prospect of that fate being changed for a better.We can only pray that the fatality may be strictly confined to the particular department of joint stock operations where it is at present rife.It would astonish, in a very unpleasant manner, the nerves of our holders ol Bank Stock, if they were some day to read a supplementary report of the auditors, say of the Montreal or, city Banks,'.proving conclusively that the published accounts, which said auditors had signed, brought the balance of profit and loss on to the wrong side of the sheet, or a report of an investigating Committee showing that the Directors had been dividing the capital among themselves.Rumours of CHAnaHS in the Ministry.\u2014We learn from the Toronto Globe that a Western Ministerial paper givos publicity to the following rumours :\u2014 That the Hon.Sir Allan N.MacNab will be appointed Gevernor of the Barbadoes, nice the Hon.Francis Hincks to be promoted to the Governorship of Jamaica.That the Hon.P.M.Vankoughnet will accept the office of Chancellor, vice the Hon.William Hume Blake, resigned.That the Hon.Alexander Campbell, Legislative Councillor for the Cataraqui Divison will fill Mr.Van-koughnet\u2019s place in the Government.That there is a probability of the Hon.John Ross going out of the Government, and that the Hon.Mr.Sherwood has signified his intention of retiring from public life at the close of the approaching session of Parliamant.With the exception of Mr.Campbell\u2019s succeeding Mr.Vankoughnet, our Toronto contemporary thinks the changes mentioned are at least very probably contemplated by Messrs.Cartier -1 M- \\I.1 .-.1 /.nuiit.Of Mr- ttu.I it davd \u2014\u201cWe think him too shrewd a man to ruin his political reputation by any direct contact with the \u2018 expiring coalition.\u201d The Globe on Friday morning urges upon its friends throughout the country the wisdom of making immediate preparations for a general election.It is barely possible, it says, that the dissolution of Parliament may not take place before the statutory limit next fall ; bat it is mueh more probable that it will occur within a few weeks hence.The Opposition were caught napping in 1854 and in 1857; we are much better prepared now\u2014but there are still some constituencies in which candidates have to be selected, and not an hour should be lost in preparing for the coming fight.In the Liader of the same morning is the following paragraph :\u2014 Somebody started a foolish rumor, in the streets last night, that the ministry had resined.Perhaps the inventors of the story had no better means of amusing themselves ; and it may have been considered a clever thing to get up a sensation hoax.We hardly need say that our own private intelligence from Quebec, which comes down to a late hour yeaterday, is wholly inconsistent with the rumor in question.Nova Sootia.t- It appears from a despatch of Lord Mulgrave to the Duke of Newcastle, that a general election may not improbably take place in Nova Scotia, after the presont session of the Legislature.In the meantime, a new electoral law which will change the limits of the electoral divisions is likely to be passed ; and it is understood that it will be of a nature to strengthen the ruling (liberal) party.Steamboat AnRANGaMHNTs for 1861\u2014The Kingston Whig says :\u2014Steamboat people have had several meetings in Kingston of late days, and although their ariangements are not fully completed, enough has transpired to say, that, during the season of 1861 a reversion to the old Through Line from Hamilton to Montreal will take place, and the original five boats, the Passport, Kingston, Banshee, New Era and Champion will form the Daily Line.During spring and fall,the steamer Magnet will take her place in this Line,and in July, August and part of September, she will repeat her Saguenay business of last summer, leaving the five other vessels to do her duty.The Cash of Smite and Watson.\u2014This case of which the particulars were given yesterday, has been compromised by the parties.By an agreement before a Notaryit was stipulated that the husband should be allowed to take the boy lately living with his mother, and that he should in return give up the effects which he carried off from the wife\u2019s residence.The husband was then discharged from custody.We may add that snb-Chief Bissonette stated in his evidence, that the woman had admitted that she was married to Watson, though she subsequently denied it before the Magistrate.The Oil Excitimhnt.\u2014The Hamilton Spectator has been informed by a gentleman just returned from the west, that the oil excitement in the township of Enniskillen, C.W., has risen almost to a fever.Claims are being staked off, wells sunk, and locations scrambled for by speculators from all quarters of the country.There is a great and constantly increasing demand for coal oil, and should Enniskillen prove to be half as productive as the people in the neighborhood anticipate, it will be a most lucky thing for the property owners there, and an advantage to the country at large.New Reform Journal.\u2014We have received the first number of the London, 0.W., News and Western Reformer, published on Friday last and to be continued on each succeeding Friday.In its mechanical features\u2014paper, typography and general arrangement\u2014it is credit-abls to its publishers.Its politics may be judged of by the following declaration of its conductors :\u2014 In conducting this journal we need scarcely say that it will be no practice of ours to denounce the government this week, and have sweet words for it the next ; to give it a stab in some vital organ now, and immediately thereafter run with a salve for the wound.To be plain, we have no faith in the ministers\u2014 look for no favors in their gift\u2014ask not even a smile from their lips\u2014we simply wish them to die officially, and let the country they misgovern, escape.Till that occurrence, the best interests of the entire Province are endangered; and hence our anxiety for its approach.Entirely coinciding with our new contemporary, that by no possibility can a worse government ascend to power than the present Cartier-Macdonald coalition, who even according to their professed friends and supporters, attained office by an act which outraged the moral sense ot the whole country, we wish the News and Western Reformer every success in its laudable endeavours to drive them from power.City Mortality.\u2014The interments in the Protestant Cemetery during the past week were six in number, and in the Roman Catholic Cemetery, twenty-five.The males were ten in number.The causes of death were the following :\u2014Oonsnmption, 7; small pox, 5; apoplexy, 2 ; inflammation of the lungs, 1 ; infantile debility, 8 ; scarlatina, 1 ; teething, 2 : paralysis, 1 ; fever, 2 ; childbirth, 2.Total 31.The Anglican Cathkdbal.\u2014We are informed that the Rev.J.H.Thompson, M.A., Professor of Divinity at Bisnop\u2019s College, Lennox-ville, is to succeed to the Archdeaconship, now vacant by the resignation of Mr.Gilson, consequent on his return to England, owing to ill-health in his family.Sheuld our information prove correct, we have no doubt but that the Rev.gentleman named will fill the office with honor to him3elf,and soon win the esteem and admiration of those among whom he will labor.Many, however, will long cherish the memory of the retiring Archdeacon\u2019s arduous and enthusiastic ministry with feelings of deep regret at Us termination.Free Lectures of the Board of Arts, &o.\u2014 Mr.Chamberlin lectuies this evening before the Board of Arts and Manufacturers.We understand that a portion of his lecture will be devoted to the consideration of the sanitary condition of the city, with more especial reference to the homes of the working classes.The Race for the General\u2019s Cup will come off on Wednesday afternoon, at half-past two o\u2019clock, (weather permitting).First Meeting of City Council.\u2014 The firet of the Regular Quarterly Meetings, and the first meeting of the present civic year, was held last night.The galleries were densely crowded.When His Worship the Mayor entered, he was greeted with loud applause from the inmates of the galleries.The City Clerk read a protest which he had received Mr.Greaves, stating that he would contest Mr.Goyette\u2019s election, as Councillor for the St.Mary\u2019s Ward, on the ground that he, Mr.Goyette, was not a householder within the city limits.The City Clerk proceeded to read the return of the Revisors, which on the motion of Alderman Leclaire, seconded by Councillor Lyman, was received and adopted unanimously.The oaths of allegiance and property qualification were administered to the Mayor, who then took his seat amid loud applause.The newly-elected members, Messrs.Stevenson, G.B.Muir, Rolland, McGrath, McNevla, David, Goyette, Beaudry, and Bowie, were theh sworn in, and took their seats, amid applause from the galleries.His Worship then proceeded to deliver his Inaugaral address as follows :\u2014 Elected by my fellow-citizens for the fourth time, to occupy the Civic chair of this populous and growing city, I cannot omit the first opportunity afforded me of expressing my deep sense of gratitude for this renewed mark of their confidence, and of assuring them of my earnest desire to manifest that feeling by unwearied and disinterested devotion to the interests of the entire community.I need not say to the gentlemen who surround me, most of whom have partaken of the labors of city government, how arduous are the duties, and how much need there is for the united exertions of those to whom the trust is assigned.At the time of my first elevation to office, as you are probably aware, the financial position of the city had become so embarrassed as to awaken earnest thought amongst the inhabitants in what manner the pressure which a heavy debt necessarily entailed, could be borne without taxing too severely the energy of the people, or weighing down the Ibsn The first step to bo taken, however, was obvious ; to infuse a spirit of economy into the general management, and to guard as much as possible against further augmentation of a debt already sufficiently heavy.To bring the City Finances into a thoroughly healthful state, more than this was, however, needed, and my great aim has been throughout, in conjunction with the City Council, to devise such a scheme of taxation as, whilst it would be adequate to defray the ordinary cost of civic expenditure, and to pay the interest of the city debt, with a moderate annual Siuking Fund towards its gradual liquidation, would be equitable in its operation, and not unduly burthensome on any class of the citizens.The difficulty of framing a measure of the comprehensive character needed, and still more of passing it through Parliament amidst the conflict of varying interest, has been found so great as to frustrate my intention, and the city revenue has in consequence been confined, during my occupation of the chair to the limited taxation, under the Act, on real property, with the taxes on the valions trades and callings, forming together an aggregate utterly inadequate to meet the necessary city expenditure.Owing to this cause, notwithstanding the greatest frugality, the city debt has augmented from year to year.At this moment, that debt rather exceeds one million of pounds currency, or four millions of dollars ; the interest alone on this sum amounting to upwards of j£65,000, whilst the entire revenue of the City, including that derived from the Water Works, cannot be estimated at over £97,000.The annual City expenditure may be assumed at about £125,000.There is thus an annual deficit unprovided for, of £30,000.For this it devolves on you to make the requisite provision.I shall only add the assurance that my humble but earnest assistance is at your eom-m md in the prosecution of the arduous undertaking.The detailed statement of the City accounts for the past year is not yet fully completed, in consequence of the multiplicity of the City affairs, and the embarrassment of its finances, which have of late fully occupied the time of the Treasurer ; they will, however, be laid before you at an early date.In the present condition of our Oily finances, it would manifestly be out of place to recommend any public improvements involving a heavy outlay ; and I shall therefore only repeat the recommendation I made last year in assuming this chair, that the expenditure should be limited to purposes of absolute and immediate necessity, and be regulated with the strictest parsimony.The experience of the past few years, during which I have had the honour of presiding on this Council, clearly demonstrates how much may be done with very moderate means, both in the shape of City improvements, and the preservation of public tranquility, through vigilant watchfulness over the disbursements of the City funds, and over the performance of civic duties by those in the employment of the Corporation.It offoris me gratification to believe that the City of Montreal occupies, so far as its civic government is concerned, an honorable position amongst the cities on this continent.He concluded amid applause.Councillor Tuggey was appointed Acting Mayor for the next quarter.It was then moved by Alderman Gorrie, seconded by Councillor Contant, that Councillors GrenierjLyman, Bellemare, and Beaudry, be elected Aldermen.Carried on division ;

7 for and 15 against.The main motion was then carried ; 17 for and 5 against.Councillor Rodden then moved in relation to the Tail-Race for a survey.The matter was ruled out of order by His Worship, as it involved the granting of money.The Council then adjourned.ter, MacNab, Stevenson, Bell and Tabb, A beautiful start was marie, Foster leading, Moc-Nab second, Lanigan third.Near the end ot the first turn Stuart took the lead followed by Whitehead, the others nowhere.A.Siuart finally won, with Whitehead some distance behind, time 7 min.21 sec., 7 min.19 sec.\u2014total 14 min.40 sec.The Boy's Race was run for again and won by T.Watson, Ostell 2, time 3 min.29 sec.Mr.Baptist then presented the winners with their tokens of victory, and after cheering the competitors, the crowd dispersed, satisfied with the exhibition of the proficiency of the scholars in physical as well as in mental exercises.6reat Western Railway of Canada.To-morrow, (Wednesday) at Two o\u2019clock the extensive fale commences of Cutlery, Crockery, Silver plated-Ware, (particulars of which may le found in our advertising columns).Catalogues of this Sale may be obtained of W.E.Eastty & Co., at their Sale Rooms.House-keepers are invited to inspect this large stock of Goods, which comprises over 1400 lots, during this day, (Tuesday), or to-morrow morning.Place of Sale\u20142nd door West of the Bank of British North America, Great St.James Street.We are authorized to state that the sale of Ship Chandlery, at Mullins\u2019 store, Commissioners\u2019 Street, will positively take place this morning, at ten o\u2019clock, Benning & Barealou auctioneers.See advertisement.Annual Races of the High School Snow-Shok Club.\u2014 These races came off on the University Grounds, Sherbrooke Stroot, on Friday afternoon, commencing at two o\u2019clock.The track which is a little less than half a mile was in very good order, and the arrangements for the races were made with the greatest carefulness.For the first race, half-a-mile, open to all under 13, for a pair of snow-shoes, nine started- Owing to the number who accompanied the ruuners the view was impeded, until near the post where J.Watson came ont winner, T.Watson 2, and W.McDonnough 3 Time 3 min.20 see.On account of foul running this was declared no race The Hurdle Race, 10J yards, over 4 hurdles 2 feet 9 inches high for a belt, came next.Five started, J.Foster, K.A.Whitehead, W.Marier, G.MacDougall, and G.Bay ties.Foster eut out the work at an amazing pace, but Whitehead defeated him on the final rush and won by a few inches, time 21 seconds.There were several falls, but the ruuners charged the hardies with the spirit of veteran snowshoers.For the One Mile Race, for a silver medal, Messrs.W.Cowan, H.Stevenson, W.Bell, G.MacDougall, Foster, Marier, W.Garter and Baynes started.Stevenson and Foster were on the lead until near the gate when Cowan brushed up and took the lead and maintained it to the end of the race.Within a few yards ot the goal he fell, but was up in an instant and reached the post first.H.Stevenson second, the others nowhere, time 7 min.13 sec.Messrs.McCord, Carter, MacDougall, Court, Marier, Whitehead, Foster, MacNab, Stevenson, Bell and Williams started for the 100 yards dash.After a beautiful race E.A.Whithead won the metjal, James Foster second, time 19 seconds.For the Silver Cup, two miles, eight ran.j A Stuart, E.A.Whitehead, G.uanigan, Fos- LiW liiYELLIGEBOE.KlSRZKOWSkt VS.FRASER.In this case the parties have been heard on the Judgment dismissing the declaration of the anpeilant.All the Judges of this Court are, I believe, agreed in regarding the declaration ot the appellant ns being vague and redundant in the extreme.They all are of opinion that the greatest part of the allegations in the declarations are worse than useless; and that it would be an abuse in the administration of justice, if the appellant were to proceed to the adduction of evidence as to all those allegations.Indeed if this case, in its present state, were to be tried, without the intervention of a jury, it would be impossible to say how long it might occupy the attention of the Court; and if it wore to he tried by a jury, the jurors might be kept in the box, not for a number of days merely, but perhaps for a number of weeks\u2014 and by far the greater part of the time thus occupied would be utterly lost\u2014refer to some of the objectionable parts of declaration.In this view of the declaration, I believe we all agreed, or at least very nearly so ; but some of the learned Judges think that although the declaration is such as I have represented it to be, yet that it ought not to be dismissed, because the plaintiff may, by au articulation de faits, restrict the proof within reasonable limits.It is quite true that the plaintiff may, if he think fit, file such an articulation de faits, and if he do so, the cost of proving any allegations not covered by the articulation de faits would fall upon him.But the Court has no power to compel the plaintiff to file such an articulation de faits, and the rights of one of the parties ought not to be made to depend upon the mere will or caprice of the other.It has also been suggested that the plaintiff may hereofter amend his déclaration, and therefore that it ought not to be now diamissed.But the observations which I have made with respect to the possibility of the plaintiff filing a reasonable articulation de faits, apply equally to the possibility of his hereafter amending his declaration; and the plaintiff ought not now to be allowed to remain with a bad declaration before the Court, because, at some future time, it may please bim to amend it, or to modify it by an articulation de faits.It has also been contended that although the declaration be certainly bad, that a defense en droit is not the proper mode of attacking it.The declaration in the present case is so strangely irregular, that it is not very easy to say in wbat respect it is most objectionable, or in what way it could have been impugned moat effectually and securely.For my own part, I think the exception à la forme might have been maintained ; but without stopping to inquire whether a defence en droit was a plea available to the defendant, it appears to me sufficient that the attention of the Court should have been called in any way to the declaration, to have caused the presiding Judge, as the protector of Jurors and witnesses, and from a due regard to the time of the Court, which belongs to the public, to reject that pleading.The power of the Judges in this respect cannot be mane to depend upon the will or the pleasure of the parties.For instance, if it had pleased the defendant, instead of demurring to the declaration, to file a plea as diffuse and redundant as the declaration itself, can it be contended that the Judges would be powerless to protect Jurors and witnesses, and the Court itself, from the confusion and loss of time necessarily incident in an investigation based on such pleadings.Again, I ask, with all due deference for the opinions of the learned Judge from whom I bave ai» misfortune to differ ou the present occasion, is it consistent with the respect due to the judicial office, or is it in any way reasonable to say to the Judges of the Superior Court \u2014 We admit that the declaration which you have rejected is irregular and bad ; we declare this by our judgment, and we propose to make the plaintiff feel that his declaration is bad by condemning him to pay his own costs ; but, notwithstanding this, we revise your judgment, rejecting the declaration, which we all admit to be irregular and bad ; and instead of compelling the plaintiff to file a good declaration, as you proposed, we, by our judgment, will in effect compel you to proceed to an enquette, as to every charge, whether good or bad, contained in the declaration, which we ourselves have condemned.In the Judgment so to be rendered I cannot concur.On the contrary, X am inclined to think that the defendant had a right to the judgment complained of ; and, at any rate, I feel convinced, for the reasons already explained, that even in the interest of the public the declaration ought to have been struck from the files of the Court.Bonaoina v.MaoIntosh.\u2014I think the appellant entitled to succeed upon the first Mayen de contestation.The authorities establish beyond doubt, that a party claiming a life rent, must prove the existence of the person in whose person the life rent has been created.The article 1983 of the Code Civile \u201c Le \u201c proprietaire d\u2019une rente viagère n\u2019en peut \u201c demander lesarierages qu\u2019en justifiant de son \u201c existence, ou de celle de la personne sur la \u201c tête de laquelle elle a été constituée,\u201d is merely a repetition of the opinion of Pothier\u2014 Const, de rentes, No.257, and that opinion is fully borne out, not only by the reason of the thing, but by ail the old authorities on the subject.Being then, as I am, of opinion that the appellant is entitled to succeed on the first ground taken by me, I do not deem it necessary to express any opinion upon the other questions argued.Corporation of St.Jerusalem v.Quinn.\u2014I wish it to be understood that I do not express any opinion excepting as to the question mentioned by the learned President of the Court.As to that question I agree with the learned judges in thinking that the appellants, being a local Corporation, were bound to show, that the work in question was a work of a local nature, within their jurisdiction, which they altogether failed to do\u2014and I therefore think the judgment of the Court below ought to be confirmed.Alexander Quintin dit Dubois, Appellant, and John Boston, Respondent.\u2014I concur with the learned Ghief Justice in thinking that the judgment of the Court below ought to be confirmed.Where the Sheriff seizes goods and chattels, he is entitled to a privilege on the property seized, tor the fees and disbursements incident to the enforcing of the Queen\u2019s writ, unless it be made to appear that such writ issued illegally or improperly.In the present case after the writ of saisie revendication had been duly executed, after a considerable portion of the goods seized had been sold,and after the greater part of the proceeds of the sale bau been paid away in obedience to an order of the Court\u2014the parties made a settlement which does not impugn or question in anyway the legality of the sale ol the goods already mentioned.On the contrary, the settlement appears to me to be in effect a tacit admission of the legality of that sale ; and if the sale was legal, then the Sheriff was entitled to deduct from the proceeds of the sale ail his fees and disbursements as weil ol the seizure, which was a preliminary step to the sale, as of the sale itself.In a word, I regard the deed of compromise as being virtually an acquiescence on the part of the present Appellant in the previous proceedings on the part of the Respondent as Sheriff, who, therefore, has a privilege f-n the proceeds of the sale oi ihe effects seized O' the entout.o\u201d his fees .\"U riisburs-tnents As to ti.e j.tuuunt of those V 3 .mu disburse meals, i tbiuk the ce.tificates or stateruout u! the public officer is to be presumed correct, at least until it be specially impugned.1 do not lose sight of the stipulation in the deed ot compromise, that the Plaintiff in tne former case, Desjardins, was to pay his own costs ; but that stipulation cannot be understood as extending to fees and disbursements liquidated by a sale previously made, and which sale was, as already mentioned, in effect confirmed by the acte d'arrangement.Considering, as we must do, the sale so made as valid, the balance really in the hands of the Sheriff, was the difierence between the gross proceeds of the sale, and the amount he had paid away in obedience to the order of the Court, together with his own fees and disbursements.Those fees and disbursements were in effect liquidated by the monies which came into the Sheriff\u2019s hands upon the occasion of the sale ; and therefore cannot be deemed to have been contemplated as part of the costs undertaken to be paid by the Plaintiff in the former case.For these reasons I am of opinion that in the judgment complained of, there is no error.[To ba Continued.]\tI Report of Committee of Investigation.The committee of investigation appointed by the shareholders on the 4th of April, 1860, have just issued their report.It is of considerable length, and will, no doubt, tend very much to puzzle many of the shareholders.It appears that three of the partners of the firm of Messrs-Ooleman, Turquand, Youngs, and Co., accountants, were selected to investigate the company\u2019s affairs.They went to Canada in May, and returned to London in October, with voluminous statements, each statement being accompanied by a vast mass of evidence.The committee also employed Mr.Alfred Giles to report upon the state of the company\u2019s property The committee enter into a history of the various lines .belonging to the company.With regard to the Hamilton and Toronto Railway they state \u201c On the 1st of December, 1852, a prospectus was issued in London, Mr.Samuel Laing, M.P., Mr.John Masterman, jun , and Mr.Peter Buchanan being named therein as trustees.The prospectus stated that a contract had been entered into between the above-named gentlemen and a responsible English contractor, Mr.George Wythes, of Reigate, to construct the line, and make it complete for a sum not exceeding £328,000., so that, according to the terms of the prospectus, no further outlay could in any event be required.The contract was duly signed between the above-named persons, as 1 provisional directors and trustees for all who might become shareholders in England,\u2019 and Mr.Wythes, and bears date the 30th November, 1852, the day before the date of the prospectus.Upon the faith of the statements in this propectus the bonds and shares were taken up by the public, and upon the faith of the same statements the shareholders of the Great Western Company were shortly afterwards (on the 10th of May, 1853) induced, at a general meeting, Mr.Samuel Laing.M.P., in the chair, to vote a resolution that the Hamilton and Toronto Railway, when finished\u2019 should be leased by the Great Western Company, on certain terms.The lease was not executed, and, without the knowledge or consent of the Great Western shareholders, an agreement, partaking more of the nature of an amalgation of the two companies, was in some way effected.The legality of the traisaction was very doubtful, but the Great Wes'- ' a directors adopted it, and took upon themselvits the settlement with Mr.Wythes, the contractor, in November 1855, to which the committee invite particular attention.It was not until April, 1856, that the amalgation of the two companies was ratified at a meeting of shareholders in Canada.In the course of the investigation it has come to the knowledge of the committee, and upon reference to his evidence it will be seen, that Mr.Samuel Laing himself admits the extraordinary fact that before the signing of the contract, and the issuing of the prospectus, he, Mr.Laing, had entered into a partnership agreement with Mr.Wythes, by virtue of which he and Wythes were to share the profit or loss upon the contract between them, so that in truth and in fact the contract to make the railway was \u2018 an agreement made and entered into between Samuel Laing, M.P., and others, as trustees for all who might become shareholders, of the one part, and the said Samuel Laing, M.P., and another, railway contractors, of the other part.\u2019 Mr.Laing says he afterwards relinquished all share in the contract, and never took any profit from Mr.Wythes.It may have been so ; it may have been that Mr.Laing had other objects in view when he placed himself in a positionifrom which any man with right intentions would have instinctively recoiled.The capital had been got from the public, and Mr.Laing states it was, at the time, part of his business to induce the public to subscribe capital for various companies, and to receive a com' mission for his trouble.It will therefore be necessary that the proper legal machinery should be set in motion to ascertain clearly all the facts connected with the raising of this money, and the commission paid for the transaction.It will also be desirable that the real nature of the partnership admitted to have existed between Mr.Laing and Mr.Wythes should be further inquired into.Mr.Laing alleges that it was all open and aboveboard, and known to all his colleagues in the management of both companies.The committee donotfind such to hare been the fact, although it was certainly the subject of rumour, and known, perhaps, to some of the directors.Mr.Robert Gill, the present chairman, is prominently referred to in the evidence ; but as that gentleman has declined to submit himself to examination, the committee are unable to report how far he was cognizant of Mr.Laing\u2019s proceedings, and what part he took in the settlement @f what can only properly be termed the joint claims of Messrs.Laing and Wythes under the contract.The consideration of those claims by the London directors of the Great Western Company commenced in the early part of 1855 ; and on the 4th of February of that year a Board meeting was held\u2014Mr.Samuel Laing, M.P., in the chair \u2014 at which Mr.Wythes, accompanied by his solicitor, who was also solicitor to the Hamilton and Toronto Railway Company, attended.The minutes show that much deliberation took place on the subject, and contain a recommendation to the Canadian directors of the Great Western Company, \u201c that unless the difference at issue could be forthwith settled in Canada, the requisite authority should be transmitted, to the .London Roartl for that purpose.\u201d The Canadian Board assented, at the same time insisting that \u201c the chief matters in dispute should not be given up,\u201d and this resolve was reiterated from time to time by several persons connected with the Canadian Board.In March, 1855, Mr.Lang, having disqualified, ceased to be a director, but no notice was given to the shareholders of this unusual proceeding.On the 9th of November of the same year what was called a final settlement with Mr.Wythes took place, but such settlement does not appear to have been final.Mr.Beattie succeeded Mr.Lang, and the Great Western Board, then consisting of Mr.J.B.Smith, M.P., Mr.R.Gill, Mr.P.Buchanan, and Mr, A.Beattie, took the Hamilton and Toronto contract offMr.Wythes\u2019s hands in an incomplete state ; and although incomplete, in spite of the protests of the Canadian management, they settled with Mr.Wythes, by paying him upwards of 20,0001.to which the committee think he was not entitled ; and, so far as they can learn, no account or written statement of Mr.Wythes claims was ever submitted to the directors in any shape whatever ; and during the progress of the settlement Mr.Laing, although no longer a director, nor even a shareholder, accompanied Mr.Wythes to the Board meetings, and, as the committee are informed, advocated his claims.The Great Western directors subsequently expended upwards of 70,0001.in finishing thework, making a total cost to the shareholders of 90,6721.5s.over and above the contract price of 328,0001.for which M.Wythes had undertaken to finish and complete the line.The committee trust that so soon as the shareholders shall have selected proper persons to take the control of the company\u2019s affairs, it will be one of the first duties of the new management to have the whole matter connected with the Hamilton and Toronto Railway thoroughly sifted, and all parties implicated in the deception practised, first on those who subscribed the capital, and subsequently on the Great Western shareholders, brought to account.\u201d With reference to the loan of £150,000 to the Detroit and Milwaukie Company the Committee state that,\u2014 \u201c On the 22d of the same month Mr.Walker, Mr.Laing, Mr.Morice, and Mr.Johnston had an interview with the Great Western directors for the purpose of urging the necessity of a loan of £150,000 to the Detroit and MilwaukieCompany.And at the general meeting of the Great Western shareholders on the 8 th of October following it was moved by Mr.Gill, the chairman, seconded by Mr.Brydges, and unanimously resolved :\u2014 \u201c \u2018 That the directors be authorised to advance to the Detroit and Milwaukie Railway Company such an amount, not exceeding £160,000, as may be necessary to insure the completion of the railway across Michigan in connection with the Great Western Railway of Canada, such advance being made as a temporary loan on sufficient security, the expenditure of the same being subject to the control of the Great Western Railway.' Now it would appear that three days before the meeting of'shareholders Mr.Brydges received a letter from .Mr.Trowbridge, the secretary of the Detroit and Milwaukie Company, and which letter he says he laid before the Great Western directors, containing a report upon the state of the company's affairs at that time wholly at variance with all previous statements furnished to the Great Western directors, and with the representations of the chairman at the meeting of shareholders.Mr.Trowbridge\u2019s statement showed that the debts of the company amounted to £293,000., and that the amount require to complete the line was £264,000., making the total requirements amount to £557,000.The following week (on the 15th of October, 1857), at an interview with Messrs.Sibley and Walker, who represented the Detroit and Milwaukie Company, the directors of the Great Western Company expressed their surprise to those gentlemen upon finding that liabilities and requirements existed of which they were not previously aware, and that arrangements had been entered into with Mr.Wythes hitherto unknown to them, and they required that before they made any payment out of the loan, Mr.Reynolds should investigate the accounts on their behalf.The directors being hard pressed by Mr.Brydges to advance £20,Out) to pay the interest on the bonds due in November following, and thus save the credit of the Detroit and Milwaukie Company, consented, but they at the same time decided to make no further advances out of the loan until Mr.Reynolds should have made his report.In this resolve they appear to have stood firm for a time, the secretary\u2019s letter to Mr.Reynolds from week to week reiterating such determination, and on the 18 th of December following the secretary wrote to Mr.Brydges, strongly urging him \u2018 to maintain this position with unrelaxing severity, having to deal with a company helplessly insolvent, who had not acted frankly or candidly, but had misled the Great Western directors; who had trusted implicitly to the contract with Wythes, and strictly forbidding Mr.Brydges to enter into any engagements that funds would be forthcoming for creditors, or for works, or for anything else.\u2019 This letter appears to have alarmed Messrs.Brydges and Reynolds , who, in their joint letter to the directors of thé 28th of December, 1857, say, that Mr.Baker\u2019s letter had put them in a most painfully awkward position ; for that immediately upon Mr.Brydges\u2019return to Canada they had set to work, and acting upon their own judgment and what they deemed their powers, had made arrangements with creditors and contrac- in them, if the arrangements they had made were not confirmed by the directors; and on the same day Mr.Brydges also wrote a letter to Mr.Gill, the chairman, urging his views, and intimating there were a few matters Mr.Gill and his colleagues ought to know, 1 hardly worthy of being officially alluded to,\u2019 hoping the directors would like the arrangements for the outlay of the loan, and stating that the Detroit and Milwaukie directors had authorized payment of agency expenses in London to the extent of £2,000 to be paid out of the loan, and of £400 to the office, as suggested by Mr.Gov-an, and intimating his expectation that Mr.Gill would be shortly able to obtain for the Detroit and Milwaukie Company another loan of £100,000 from the Great Western Shareholders.This letter appears to have had the desired effect, for on the 26th of January, 1858, the directors met and resolved that the arrangement made by Messrs.Brydges and Mr.Reynolds was the best that could be made, was quite satisfactory to the Board and fulfilled the requirements, of the resolution of shareholders, and that the same be confirmed, and Messrs.Brydges and Reynolds thanked for their exertions and abilities.\tThe\tday.following the directors mei again, and re-solved that the outlay of the loan having been satisfactorily arranged, Mr.Brydges letter to the chairman he taken into consideration, and that the sum of £2,400 voted by the Detroit and Milwaukie Directors out of the loan to their comuany, be appropriated in remuneration to the members of the London Board and the staff at the office for past services in conducting the financial business of the Detroit and Milwaukie Company and the various négociations relating to it ; and Mr.Gill received £710, Mr.Govan, Mr.Cullen and Admiral Laws, £430 each, the Secretary £250, and the Registrar £150.With the exception of the interest on the bonds, these douceurs would appear to have been, the first payments made by the Great Western directors out of the loan.It further appears that 100 shares, fully paid up, were transferred by the Detroit and Milwaukie directors into the names of each of the six Great Western directors.(Four London and two Canadian.) It would also appear that the necessary stimulus had been applied by the Detroit and Milwaukie directors to the exertions of Mr.Brydges in obtaining the loan, for on the 24th of December (four days before the date of his effective letter to Mr.Gill,) they voted that gentleman £4,000 for his past service : such sum was paid out of the loan, and therefore formed a portion of 1 the satisfactory arrangements made by Messrs.Brydges and Reynolds for the outlay of the loan.\u2019 In January, 1858, the Detroit and Milwaukie Board was reconstructed in Canada, Mr.Brydges being made President, Mr.Reynolds, vice-president, and the six Great Western directors (four London and two Canadian) being, made directors.The remuneration of the London directors was fixed ai £1,000, per annum, and that of Messrs.Brydges and Reynolds at §5,000 per annum between them.The London directors charged the loan account with two sums of £500, each, one in July and the other in December, 1858, for two half-yearly payments to themselves.The .loans having been exhausted, they were unable to pay themselves in 1859, and Mr.Brydges says they asked him to remit their pay, and found fault with him for not having done so.In October, 1858, 12 months after the date of the first loan, the Great Western directors obtained from their shareholders a second loan (£100,000, in amount for the Detroit and Milwaukie Company, a concern which their own Secretary had long before described as 1 helplessly insolvent,' and this time it would appear the Great Western directors not only suppressed the knowledge they possessed of the real state of affairs, but they ventured to tell their shareholders 1 they were happy in being able to state that all difficulties had been surmounted by the energy and exertions of the executive in Canada.\u2019 In November, 1859, the Great Western directors made a sixth and last attempt to raise money for the Detroit and Milwaukie Company.This time £250,000 was required, and was proposed to be raised by an issue of preference shares, and the Great Western shareholders were recommended to abandon their position as third mortgagees in respect of their loans, and to accept an equal amount in preference shares to be placed on the same footing as the additional£250,000.The attempt would have succeeded, but for the determined resistence of some shareholders, through whose efforts the committee of investigation was appointed.There have been some transactions in Canada of a very unsatisfactory description, between Messrs.Brydges and Reynolds and the Commercial Bank of Canada, respecting a large debt due to the bank by the Detroit and Milwaukie Company ; and whether or no the Great Western shareholders will suffer further by the unauthorized acts of these gentlemen, in respect of such transactions, the committee are not yet in a position to determine.It is a matter which will require serious consideration.The committee also call attention to an advance of £7,900 made by Messrs.Brydges and Reynolds to the Port Huron and Milwaukie Railway Company ; the money was paid out of the funds of the Great Western Company, and the London secretary, in a letter to Messrs.Brydges and Reynolds, calls the advance \u2018 unauthorized and unwarrantable.\u2019 The money was paid in September, 1858, and the Great Western directors have, since that time, presented the half-yearly accounts to the shareholders in a shape so as to conceal the transaction altogether.\u201d The total cost of the main line has been £2,037,776, exceeding the estimates by about £1,000,000.The Sarnia branch had cost £467,-636.The published accounts showed a net profit from the opening of 1 he line to the 33 st of July, 1860, of £650,662, after deducting working expenses, interest on bonds, &c., and renewal of rails, sleepers, &c., £82,847, and compensation for accidents £82,093.The accountants enter into a detail of sums, amoimti g to £321,-071, improperly treated as revenue in the different half-yearly accounts up to July 31, 1860.They also state that, in addition to the amount expended in renewals, £138,490 should have been provided under that head out of revenue.Nearly the whole of the £321,071 affect only past dividends' They state that Mr.Brydges was appointed managing director on the 16th of February, 1853, under an agreement that his salary should be £1,200 per anum for two years, and thereafter £1,500 per annum, and that he should, in addition, receive a commission at the rate of £250 for every 1 per cent, over and above 8 per cent, per annum of dividend which the company earned or paid.Mr.Brydges has received £843 15s in respect of such commission.In January, 1857, the dividend declared was at the rate of 9 per cent per annum, being the only dividend declared over 8 per cent.But it appears Mr.Brydges has treated the sums reserved for the sinking fund in 1855 and 1856 as if they had been divided among the shareholders, and calculated his commission accordingly.In April, 1857, Mr.Brydges\u2019 salary was raised to £2,000 per annum, at which it now remains.In the future working of the company there are several matters which will require to be thoroughly examined and revised ; among these are the expenses of management in Canada, the system of allowing nine officers of the company to sign and issue free passes, also the wear and tear system of carrying heavy goods at unremunerative freights.An efficient check should be organized with regard to the purchase of materials and stores for the use of the company ; and, if possible, the conductors of the trains should be relieved from the responsibility of issuing tickets during the journey, and afterwards collecting them at the termination of each passenger's journey, the company having no check whatever upon the proceedings of the conductors.In the appendix will he found a statement showing the expenses of the London office, including the very objectionable item of £1,612 for directors travelling expenses, in addition to their fees.The committee, in bringing their remarks to a conclusion, state they have no hesitation in declaring their belief that, from the commencemant of the undertaking to the present moment, the property of the company has been intrusted to persons wholly unworthy of confidence, and they recommend the shareholders to take the earliest opportunity ef displacing the present directors, and of selecting others, not only to superintend current affairs, but also to bring to a strict account all who may be found to have improperly possessed themselves of any part of the funds or property of the company ; and, further, to take the best advice as to the nature of the proceedings to be adopted against those who have been implicated in any of the nefarious doings by which the shareholders have been so grossly deceived, and have suffered so severely.The committee had intended to have prepared a statement in detail of all the sums of money which have been either misappropriated or wasted ; but time will not permit.It would be a long catalogue, and would probably amount to £1,000,000, sterling.The following members of the committee signed the report :\u2014H.H.Cannan (chairman), Allan Gilmore, Robert Kaye, P.Margetson, D.Price and R.Sutherland.UEJSTEP STATES.{from the New York papers of Saturday.') Intelligence was received in Washington last night to the effect that, after a full and careful canvass in the Virginia Convention, it was found that the secessionists in that body were in a minority, notwithstanding\u2019 the fact that they have received accessions since the delivery of President Lincoln\u2019s inaugural.The secession ordinance will consequently bo voted down in the Convention.The Unionists have carried North Carolina on the question of holding a Convention.The State has gone against a Convention, by a thousand majority\u2014small, but sufficient.Of the delegates elected to be members of the Convention, in case it should have been ordered by the people, two-thirds are for the Union.The Southern Congress has passed an Army bill which has been for some time under discus-siod, and it is expected that the Confederacy will soon have 50,000 men in the field.As that number of troops in active service will cost at least fifty millions of dollars per annum, the Confederacy will find the question of revenue an exceedingly serious one.In the United States Senate yesterday Mr.Foster of Connecticut introduced a resolution for the expulsion of the notorious Wigfall, on the ground that he had on the floor of the Senate declared himself a foreigner,owing no allegiance to the United States.As Wigfall was absent at the time, the motion was not pressed to a vote.The dignity of the Senate,and of the whole Government has been too long insulted by such to treat it with contempt.It is time that they were made to understand that there is such a crime as treason, and such things as laws to punish it.FROM WASHINGTON.Special Dispatch to the N.Y.Tribune.Washington, March, 8.1861.Anderson\u2019s promotion.Maj.Anderson\u2019s promotion to the rank of Brigadier-General, lor the Twiggs vacancy, has not been determined, because Secretary Cameron\u2019s absence necessarily precludes any such action at Ibis time.There is the best feeling toward him by the new Administration, and by all who estimate his faithful services.FEELING ABOUT THE TREASON OF TWIGGS.Letters received to-day from a prominent army officer at San Antonia, state that the conduct of Twiggs had excited great indignation,and while a large majority of the troops were in favor of the South as they understood the causes of difference, they were opposed to the disruption of the Union, or the disbandment of the forces.It is now certain that in addition to his crime of treason, Twiggs basely deceived all the important officers around him.CONFIRMATION OF THE MINISTER TO PRUSSIA.Mr.Ju Id was confirmed as Minister to Berlin, and Mr.Kreisman as Secretary of Legation, today, without any show of opposition whatever.PROPOSITIONS IN THE VIRGINIA CONVENTION.Leading men in the Virginia Convention who are opposed to violent measures propose to adopt the following general declaration : First, against coercion, and in favor of union with the South in the event of collision; second the indorsement of the propositions of the Peace conference and ils reference to the people; and third, a convention of the Border States with a view to ultmate and independent action.GENERAL SWEEP IN THE PUBLIC OFFICES EXPECTED.Ail respectable Democrats here are perfectly willing to see a general sweep in the public offices, and admit that most of the incumbents are wholly unfit.TUE PRESIDENT AND JiSFP.DAVIS\u2019S COMMISSIONERS.No arrangement has yet been made for a conference between the Pres'dent and the Commissioners sent by Jefferson Davis.As Mr.Lincoln has no authority to open a negotiation, they must be disappointed in any movement for that purpose.SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY SHORT.The experiment of the Southern Confederacy cannot long be maintained for the want of money to carry it on.If the recent loans here had not been promptly taken, the general Government would have been seriously embarrassed in conducting its operations.As the other concern has neither capital nor credit, and is not recognized abroad, its difficulties must be still more perplexing.GOV.CHASE\u2019S RULE FOR SUBORDINATES.Gov Chase intends to insist that the law requiring subordinates in his Department to be examined before their appointment, shall be strictly enforced, and no applicant will be admitted to office without entire qualification.\u2014 This rule would purse the public service of drones and incompetents.mr.Lincoln\u2019s first reception.Mr.Lincoln\u2019s first reception to-night was the largest attendance ever seen at the White House in the evening, and reminded one of the throng on the 1st of January.The rush was so great that hundreds could not find admittance, and numbers had to escape through the windows on the frunt and rear porticoes.It was an ovation of which the President might be proud, considering all the circumstances which preceded his coming here.To The Associated Press.Washington, March 8, 1861.The President has accepted the resignation of Adjutant-Gen.Cooper and Assistant Adjutant-Gen Withers.Cooper is a connection of Senator Mason, and his resignation is attributed mure to family than politic»! influence.Withers is a Tennesseean.A report is prevalent that Quartermaster-Gsn.Johnston of Virginia is about to resign; but he said this morning the occasion tor such a course has not yet arrived.The resignation of Adjutant-Gen.Cooper has occasioned general regret.He was appointed from and is a native of New-York.The Somheruers are making overtuies to some of the best officers in the service.It is known that certain olEceis of the army, located here, have been tendered lucrative appointments under the Government of the Confederate States.The Senate, in Executive Session to-day, confirmed Norman B.Judd as Minister to Berlin ; Herman Kreisman, also of Illinois, as Secretary of the Legation, and John A.Kasson of iowa as First Assistant Postmaster-General.The President did not send in any nominations today.Messrs.Forsyth and Crawford have as yet made no official communication to the Administration, owing to the sickness of Secretary Seward, and an informal intimation than a little more time would be agreeable.The Commissioners have been actively occupied, since their arrival; in consultation and unofficial intercourse, having reference to the object of their mission.The subject of the collection of the revenue and the reenforcement of Fort Sumter has not yet engaged the attention of the Cabinet.Great efforts are being made to affect a peaceful solution of the question of the forts and revenues.Ex-Secretary Floyd has published a statement vindicatory of the acceptances in favor of Russell, Majors & Co., and of their legality.Instead of being six miliiun of them outstanding, he shows there were only six hundred thousand, and declares that the countractors have secu.ed these by assignments of property ample lor their protection, and that if the Gov-ment will permit the earnings of the trains for 1861 to be applied to the acceptances, they will be liquidated in that way without recourse to the assignments.It would seem also, that the Government owes the contractors upward of §500,000, which is equivalent to the cash value of the Indian Trust bonds, of the abstraction of which, Mr.Floyd repudiates ail previous knowledge.He denounces the conduct and proceedings of the Select Committee with great severity and says their sole object was political persecution and defamation.Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel Lorenzo Thomas, second in rank in theAdjutaut-General\u2019s office, has been premated to be Adjutant-General, vice Cooper, resigned.Among the prominent candidates lor Consul to London is Colonel Schouler of Massachu-chusetts.POLICE COURT\u2014Yesterday.ASSAULT.Yesterday in the Police Court the chief business was the hearing of an action for assault, brought by Richard Derivire against John Davy.The action was dismissed with costs.RECORDER\u2019S COURT\u2014Yesterday.FIGHTING.Two men, named George Gidney and Leon Parent were charged with fighting in Vitre street.They were lined 15s each.Two female vagrants, named Adelaide Riché and Philoméae Leveilée, were charged with fighting in a house of ill-fame in German street.They were fined, one 15s, and the other 5s.WIFE BEATING.Peter Gray was charged with being drunk and boating his wife.He was fined 15s.One George Barbeau was lined 60s for assaulting the Police.Moise Grégoire and Magloire Montcalm were fined 10s on the charge of being drunk in an unlicensed tavern.Jean Bte.Leblanc was fined 30s on conviction of keeping his tavern open on Sunday.©raïï'Ê iïîip ©ommerr?.DAILY REPORT OF THE MONTREAL PRODUCE MARKET.Montreal, March 11, 1861.Flour.\u2014Double Extra, §6.50 /@ 7.00 ;
