Resolved ctors make out and hare printed a fall and complete report of the condition affairs of the company, to be cistributed to the stock- holders on cr before the Ist of February next. [To these was added a sixth resolution. reflecting u on the present board of directors for their want of energy ard vigllance, and recommending the election of a uew board in their stead, wh'ch resolution was lost, as will be seen in the report of the debate following]:— The Cuarmman then stated that he did not think there were present enough of stockholders to make a vote binding upon the company. | Mr. E. 8. Crxaveanp then said he did not con- sider the vote of two-thirds of the stockholders bind: | ing upon him. He was not willing, for one, to vote | according to the amount of stock issued. The stockholders had no right to meet here to accept | the fraudulent issues of Alexander Kyle, no more than they had the right to re-eive stolen goods. To accept this frandulent stock holds out a premiam for a repetition of euch frands. The company has no power to accept the fraudulent issnes of stock, | and saddle a heavy debt upon the honest yeomaary of the country. If the company could distingaish asolitary certificate cf fraudalent stock, they were bound to reject it; and if a cepted, Le, for one, and | others, would rebel against it, | The question was then upoa the adoption of the rey ort and the rpsolutions. It was then carried that the roll should be called, | | each one answering to his name, to see if a majority of the stock was represented. ‘The roll of stockholders was then called. It took about an hour to get through with the preferred stock, and some of the company preeent thinking this , too s'ow work, it was moved and carried that all the remaining stockloldere in the room whose names | tad not been called, should go into an antero6m, | ard as they passed back irto the meeting, each one should give his name and amount of stock to the secretary of the mectiny. In accordance with the above motion, a greater | portion of the meeting went upon the other side of | the folving doors in the large hall of old Tammany. Ja s few minutes, it was announced that 69,000 | shares were represented, which constitated a large majority; and the meeting again came to order, Mr, Aca Hosein moved a committee of ten be appointed to examine proxies. [He said that for ears past people had voted on proxies that had een countermanded for years. He wanted "i stop twas lar in times paseed. ¢ Caain decided that the motion before the Was the acceptance of the report of the com- tee, was then x yved that the report be accepted and adopted.

The reading of the resolutions was then called for, and it was moved to adopt them separately, which was carried. ‘The first resolution was read and adopted. The second resolution was read. Mr, Asa Hussarp opposed this, He was not willing to pay for the over issue. He did not know who were the and villains. For all he knew the directors 1! ves might have the false stock in their pockets; they might all be as great es aS.

Hethougut | the company could not honoral t rid of fathering the aren ilies of stock. The tracert issues were all mixed in with the good. An agent of tue | company had issued this stock in faith, and they were honorably responsible forthe acts of their agent. A mancomes to us and says: ‘I paids> much to you beside agent for this certificate,” that resolution is to say t» him, “ You shail not suffer bythe acts of our 39r- | vanta, but we will redcem tha‘ certificate.’ We can- | ) not get arcund this, gentlemen. 1 think this over thi mpecenetes, in the aor + = enact m are and the ns to conve, recta ear Sats Sa a ie in the ment eR pread to the and which has 4 to inces; some to and pi it, some ees and sap- press it, all to by it. This is true of the re- publican as of parties. Wo say the re; joan pose for in Spain, as everywhere eiao, they are of several kinds. First, republican party, which desires to es- tablish the republic without prejadice to personal, family and proprietary rightr; rights which it re- sper sacred, and as the necessary foundation all political and civil society. This party would ladly owe its success to the natural, and, as it be- fleves, ible progress of the human race. Next, there is the party which is uawiillag to wait, and is ever ready to have recourse to violent and meosues. This party, of which we our- selves have something, is unscra; asto meaug. , there is the party,which styies itself so- cial par exe . We saw it work in 1948, and were able to judge what it would have done for us if time had not failed it. We say, also, the royalist parties, for they areas many as the republican. One of the parties has remained faithfal to the dogma of absolute royalty. It was believed that it no longer existed in Spain, or that at least it had renounced its pretensions. Thia was a mistake, for it has just an ed itself with its white cockade aad its colors with its pretendant and its allies. Another royalist party has devoted itself, for more than thirty years, to the foundation of the con- stitutional royalty of Queen Isabella. Liberal and conservntive, it combicves in its attachment all the issue must be redeemed by the whole company of | steckholders. Mr. Paper, of Hartford, said it was dangerous to te community—it waa setting a dangerous precedent to 10: eve this false stock. Atexander Kyle was the agent of the company only in recording the trans(er- zed shares on the dedgomof the company. When he went beyond this ard issued shares, he transcended his powers, and the company were not responsible for this act. He acted in two capacities—as broker and secretary of the. company. Those who doalt | with him as a broker, and warchaged shares of sto:k | of him, had no claitn upon the stockholders. Those | who dealt with him as the secretary only, have a | claim upon us. And he moved to amend the reo- lution, by stating that ‘no stock should be redeemed which could be ascertained to be spurious.” Half a dezen seconded this amendment. Mr. Kercnum moved to amend, by authorizing the directors to retire the over issue of stock. Mr. CLEAVELaND asked where this debt, for the resumption of the over issue, was to fall. (Here there was some confusion in the room.) Mr. CLEAvE- LAND contisued—Gentlemen, we have come huo- dreds of miles to be here to-day to have this inter- view. Now, gentlemen of Wall street, if you will be fent, I assure you we will. The amendment of Mr. Pardie, to repudiate spurious stock, is before the house, Jonn H. Govriiz—aAs long as I live, gentlemen, I hope I shall never be willing to compel the commu- nity to sufftr for the dishonest actions of my agents. (Applause from the Wall street side of the house.) To refuse this over issue shocks every principle of morality , equity and justice, and I am surprised to hear such desires advanced upon this floor. (Ap- plause.) Gentlemen, I represent here 17,000 shares of this stock, and am entitled to be heard, and hope to have’my opinions reepected.

The vote was then taken apon Mr. Ketchum’'s amendment, to ‘authorize the directors to retire the over issues which cannot be identified as spariona.” This smecdment was lost. Mr. CixaveLann then offered an entire substitute, which was lost. The resolution was then adopted by a large majo- rity, inserting the word “aut vorize” instead of “ad- viee,” in accordance with the above amendment of Mr. Dusenbury. The next resolution was then read, and oppoaed by Gen, Sandford, who made a brief sp2e sh ia de- fence of the directors of this company.

Dr. Morris can attribute the | atmosphoric ta. | institutions of the country. For these royalists, Spain is t!. constitution, the queen, and the cortes. For them there ia no constitution without the queen, and there would be something wanting to the au- | thority and majesty of the queen if the constitution | were violated. The progressives form a third party. All these arties, republican and royalist, are engaged in the insurrection ry movement, which is evidently di- rected against that other party, that it would be difficult to defirie, but of whose devotion to the per- sop of the queen there is no room for donbt; the ministry, which bad at its head the Count de San Luis; was, in the last instance, the faithful exponeat of this party. Amid+t the confusion which overspreads Spain, it is easy to recognise that there is one sentiment which predominates over all others: it is the mo- parchial sentiment. south, at St. Sebastien, at Pampelana, at Burgos, at Vittoria, at Valadolid, at Saragossa, at Barce- lona, at Valencia. oe have striven movement; every- Everywhere the republican to give their own coloring to where they have been repulsed and thwarted. At Barcelona the people armed against them, and in | eeveral cities where they had succeeded in possess- ing themselves of power, they were at once over- thrown. Some attempted to resist; they were led to prison. This almest unanimous sentiment which has ex- pressed itself loudly, has everywhere protected the person and the name of Queen Isabella. Those | who Would fain have profited by this oc:asion to | make a grand advance towards a revolution, by giving tc Spain another dynasty, have been con- strained to di-simulate their projects and to shelter themselves beneath the name of the Queen. Tbe movement bas been accomplished amidst stouts of ‘Vive /a reine,” “Vive la constitution.” These cries have been heard on all sides. people and the army have uttered them with the same energy; and with regard to this we may say that the proclamation of Geperal O'Donnell forms a singular exception. At Barcelona, where the | spiris of opposition has so often signalized itself, @h_ 0} Po almost progressis(e at the momont shen the insurection faa jnst triumphed, General Ramon de la Rocha declared that ‘the movement vas based upon law and upon conscience, that it bad for its mctive and its sim the coustitution, the queen i the liberties of the peogie ,” and he an- novnced “that he would prosent to the throme the ferveut wishes of the country, which would assured- received with favor by the most maguanimoas of queens.” Even at Madvid%the pepalar commission did not consider itself empowered to do anything else than to present an address ‘to the qneen, to express to her the wishes of the people, and to demand redress fir ‘oir grievances. Certaisly the monarchical spirit must be power‘ul and firmly rooted, vhen it imposes such forma and such laoguage upon a victo- rious and menacing ineurrection. We do not eay that it will always be thus—we ouly affirm that this sentiment was sill profoundly entertained and respected. at the very moment of the trinmph of the insurgents; and that tue move- ment in which all parties have co-operated to the extent ot thcir means, has been directed, neither against the monarchical principle, noc against the perzon of the Queen. ‘The fidelity of the Spaniards to their institutions is not, as it seems to us, to be doubted. Every- where we find them united in the same expressions of attachment and respect for the Queen and the constitation; and we are the more struck with this, as for a long time au effort has been maze to per- svuade the Queen that the constitution was a thing of entire indifference to the nation; that parlia- menta'y government was desired only by a small number of gentry and bourgeoise, whose ambitious designs it had served, and that the free exercise of the national will for one day would suffice to deliver rol from this form of goverament, under Ww men exhaust themselves in long discourses, without ever arriving at efficient results. Now all this was error and falsehoood. It is evi- deat that the constitution is as dear to the people as isthe queen herself, and that those were the right wko answered to the detractors of representa. tive government, in words of whose justness and force they themsxlIves were not perhaps fully aware.

This alliance is re- fe influeaces, and we are confident privce on the §; cordial reception. The intimate alliancejof the army with the peo | ple, bas the desirable effect of strei ning at the a spirit of nationality. We sincerely believe all thisto be true. What “nclosiors are we then to draw? That Spain is at his mcment passing through a perilous crisia—the mest perilous, it may be, of wll those which for nesily belfa century have agitated this unhappy | country. Everything seems, indeed, to be in con- fusien, nd ready to fail into ruin; but how many e the resources and means of safety! Roya'ty as not cessed to be national and popular, and it is precise); this reason that the queen and the insurgents will, in the end, come to a reconciliation, and to a good understanding.

The bourdon, or great bell of | the cathedral, tolled during the cay, and a large concourse of people flocked to visit the monument which stands inthe Chapelle Belloy. In the same chapel, in the evening, the association of “ Prayers for those who have died in prey oa to save their fellow creatures” celeb'ated a first masa, which is hereafter to be performed every day at the same hour, in the same e, and for the same motive. I went on Sunday evening last to the Church of St. Etienne de Mont, close by the Pantheon, to be pes at the ons Dogars of the society of St. ‘rancois Xavier for that quarter of the town. This is one of the associations of Secours Mutuels, or mu- tual aid societies, which Lave of late years worked such excellent effects among the laboriug classes of Paris. I will Grst describe what I saw and heard of the prac- tical roe these institutions, and then say a few | words In ex cf their foundation and general nature, of their mixed religious and civil constita- tion. a fine even- t It cred emer to be (fora beac ing last Sunday, and it was really a pleasant sight to sce so many of the laboring population of the quarter wepcing their way tranquilly round the im posing walls of St. Geneviive, a prodigious favorite with the lower orders, to attend “their own society’? in the adjoining church. By far the greater number of the members tins going to spend their Saoday evening, wore the traditional blouse of the working classes, and their rds visagea—alheit, clean shaved and washed--and well worn, horny hands, sho ved them to be regular sons of labor.” But though to» many of them had probably in their lives been as- sociates of some secret so-iety or political club, it was evident that the sting was taken out of them, and that as members of the Society of St. Frangois Xavier, they had ceased, for the time at least, to be mernbers of the classes dangéreuses. [never saw a set of houester, quieter looking artisans, certainly never one displaying more intelligence for their po- sition in life. The hlouse predominated; but a few coats showed that the small tradesman, master mason, or other superiors, fraternized with the workingman. There was only one small door at | of fecling pleascre ourselves. So adi the side of the Charch of St. Etienne open, in order to peret that perpetual bustling of idlers which is so peculiaily disagreeable in almost all Roman Catholic charches, and which, after a long residence in many countries of that creed, has made me very doubtful as te the propriety and advanta- ges of churches “always” open. When such is the case, I have seen invarisbly that, thoagh the pious few profit by it, the irreverent many abuse it, and quite forget, as they stroll in and ‘out of the ever open door, that “‘tois is a dreadful place—this is none other than the house of God.” But this en passant. Within the church a green table was set out, at which sat several respectable pegsons of the nei, hood, who act heartily with the cl 5 and form the burean or :ommittee of the society character ef benorary members.

After this, several cl of administration were announced by M. Le Vi as having been introdaced by order of the com- mittee. One of these, which seemed to meet with much sympathy was to the effect, that henceforth, instead of the funerals of deceased members being performed according to the ceremonial num- r eight or nine, or the last inthe government scale of prices, all would be interred in fature with the extra pomp of number seven.

The lay orator is a great feature in the leties of St. Francois Xavier; * and when M. le Professeur O:tolan, of the Ecdle de Droit, was anpounced by the resident » as about to speak ona moral subject,” he was eagerly wel- comed. M. Ortolan, after bis laborious weekly lec- tures, frequently devotes, to his unspeakable credit, his Sunday evening to such charitable tasks as he now undertook. His address was exquisitely inge- nious and ell chosen, and ifthe subje:t was taken up at the moment, as it ap; to be, reflected the highest credit upon his talent, whilst his kind and earnest manner went to the hearts of his audierce. The attention paid him was fotense. Alluding to the subject of M. l’Abbé Leclerc’s discourse, he said he wished to follow up his teaching on leas elevated ind. The essent spirit of Christianity was love of out fellow men, and he had been struck he said, with a phenomenon in our organization in ‘is respect. n could bring their force, theiric- tellect, into the common stock, could at the. same cable, unite to write the same book.

There was something in us which forced us to put our selves in the place of others, and participate im their feelings, whether we would or no. M.

He crew the Picture of a gourmet at a restaurant, made uncomfortable in spite of himself by the hua- gry begger at tle window.

They staited east and west. He from the west brought back ina golden box the motto, “Never do to another what thou wouldst not he should do to thyself.” It was well, anda good maxim, the Brabma said: “let a» wait for the other.” He from the east brought back, written on a piece of apers “Do always to others what thou woulds! should do unto thee.” “ Ah,” said the Brahmin, “the first maxim was only bare right; this is affec- tion, this is charity, this is services mutules—taka bg Pag id is high time my ac- 80-and-s0 vf nee members, ith os rand with aa Account of the health of sick confréres, and, what was not least welcome, of a on of 1,000 franca to the treasury from the nment. “« And thia,” said M. le ica! }» “is no mere pro- mise, nous tenons le magot,” thereby Producing 3 jonel, A cantique and chorus, in which wil , Was sung, most cordial shaking of hands, and with, I fled, the same conviction 1 entertained myeelts of ta leasant ‘unday an Meare to another op; aes what a Say u| mixed cal founBations of these societies? oy 03d Pout- 5 Engileh Profit from the Turkish War.
