The mcmarUl prearnted by the deputation anggrstcd thtt no compBay ahall he regiatered under the Companies Acts, 1SC2 to lSbO, ore leaj It provided that 10 per cent, per share ahall be paid before allotment and 20 per cent. (Lnclndios this 10 per cent,) before issue of share or certificate that until 73 per crnt.

of the capital has been subacribrd and allotted bo liability exceeding 2) per cent, on tbe total capital shall be incurred, tha promotcre to be sere rally liable for any further expense iacrirred in tbe erent of the required amount not beiog sabacribed within four months no borrowing, poweri are to ba exer eiaed by any company until CO per cent, of ita there capital it paid up aad tbe accounts of companies ahall be kept in such a way as to insure their affording a true test of the company' peaitioo. Mr. 6IDKBOTTOM, M.P., in introducing the deputation, referred to the depresaton which had for so long affected all tha industries ot the country, and, remarking upon Hs effect on the cotton, trade, observed that there could be no permanent improrrment until tbe abuses arising from the limited Liability Acts had been rsmorcd. The grievance complained of by master spinners and operatives alike was the excessive erection of mills ia consequence of the undue facilities afforded bv the Limited Liability Acts. These mill were built not to supply anr real want of tbe trade nor to benefit their shaRbolder.

but simply to enrich their The illegitimate extension of spinning bad of en so enormous as to completely swamp the trade, so that for a long time it had been carried on at' a loss even in those mills 'of tbe mot modern and meat approved construction. The result had been that many of the Umd fde traders had been brought fare to face with ruin. This state of things was one which could not last and he believed a remedy wax to a great extent td be found in the amendment of the Limited liability Acts. Mr. Kihtwistle, read the memorial Colonel Jacksok, Mr.

HOCLDS WORTH, and Mr. AMES Mawdslet addressed tha noble lord. On behalf of the opera tires, it was explained that this unrestrained extension of mills waa injurious to them, in making their employment fitful and uncertain a ditad vantage which waa not compensated by the occasional increase of wages due to the extra competition among millowners. The Marquis of Salissurt, in reply, said, Mr right hon. friend and myself have heard with very great interest the statements which these most important deputations have had to lay before us.

I am well aware that there is no subject which occupies so closely tha feelings of business men, both employed and employers, in the manufacturing districts of the north, as this, which concerns the Limited Liability Act, Tbe Act itself was a very great commercial change one of tha greatest this generation has seen. It is very satisfactory to us to find that it is not. against the policy of the Act itself that you come to speak you do not wish to depart from the great lines there laid down. But you hare observed great defects in the Act which require remedy. I understand tha evil to be practically this that, owing to defects in the Act, men are deceived by the promoters of companies which are little less than fraudulent that they are deceived into spending their money both as shareholders and as lenders that they are ruined thereby, Imd that in their ruin they destroy business and unfairly compete with tbe industry of ether sound and legitimate en terrorises in their neighbourhood.

That is the great riL We are far from shutting our eyes' to the fact that there are alterations in the Limited Liability Act which might be made with advantage, and we moat heartily concur in deploring this evil, an evil which, I suppose, everybody would concur in lamenting. How it is to be remedied is, of course, a more difficult matter. You Kara laid before us important and carefully weighed suggestions. WYhare before us the valuable labours ot the Committee of 1877 and tha report they made. Ve shall investigate the subject with tbo utmost care, and we should be doing little justice either to the complicated nature of the questloa that Is submitted to us or to the very momentous interests concerned if now we baxarded any premature opinion aa to the precise course to be followed.

you may ba quite eertain that the Government is deeply impressed with the importance of the matter, and they will give to It their earnest and moat careful attention, and so far. as their means which are unhappily limited by the eiirenrin cf Parliamentary time as tar as their means go they will do their utmost to provide a remedy for the evil which you have laid before us. Mr. SiDEBOTTOK thanked Lord Salisbury and Mr. Goschen for their courtesy, and the deputation then withdrew.

After transacting soma other business tha Board ad jo arced. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir, Msy I offer as a contribution to the discussion on emigration in. your columns a short statement of the ex pcrience of the emigration committee of tha Charity Or ganixation Society The society's aim being in general to orgtnixV existing agencies rather than to start new ones, it was not without hesitation that we took up the work and it was not till we had satisfied ourselves that no really organized system of emigration on a broad basis existed for London, that we decided to endeavour to utilise our district committees for that purpose. The main point to be secured was a careful and strict investigation of the cases of applicants for assistance to emigrate, with a view to the selection of none but suitable persons, as regarded character, working capacity, suitability for the particular colony to which they were going, and inability, through poverty, to dispense with assistance.

Every case before being entertained by. the central com. mivtee was fully investigated and reported upon by tha district committee', ia which the applicant resided. It had thus a double ordeal to pass before beieg accepted. It was late in the summer before we got fairly to work.

It was already too late for Canada. Eight families, com, prising 43 persons, accepted and taken out by tha "Western Australian land Company, the passage money being at ths rata of 7 for each adult. Fourteen single men were engaged by a Queensland sugar planter, under a con tract to work for a year, and sent out by him free of ex pease. In most of the other cases there was nothing for it but to pay the full fares to Australia 13 or 14 which we did with tha assistance of contributions from private sources, and from the excellent Self Help Society. Our first family sailed in August.

By the end of this month we shall have sent out at a total cost to this committee, including working expenses, of C15 18s. of which 1G0 6a. Cd, has been contributed by our district committees, by the Self Help Society, and by private indivi duals to meet particular cases 40 families and single men In all 125 persons, men, wemen, and children. Of the men, 10 were labourers, nine farm labourers, seven navvies, three carpenters, and so on. In every case the wires were prepared and able to help by laundry work.

dairy work, cooking, or something of the kind. They were all cases in which tha bread winner was of good character, he and his family destitute, or almost so, simply and solely from want ot work. Kot.oaa.could have gone out without assistance. Time enough has not yet elapsed to" admit of our hear ing from them, except in the first case sent, and in that. the man, a labourer, at once got 7s.

day. But ws have little anxiety about their all obtaining well paid employ ment. Rather are we anxious as regards our own credit in respect of the 14 men gone to Queensland under contract of service for a year, lest they should be tempted by the scarcity of labour and consequent high rates of wages to break their contract. TVs have now before us a number of thoroughly good cases, to meet which we have no Some of them have been actually accepted by tha 'Western Australian Land Company, their outfits are prepared, and if the passage money can be found they will in all probability sail shortly, Cases are constantly coming in, and were we to hold out too much encouragement to applications wa should be overwhelmed. I do not now propose to discuss the question of State colonixation or a State guarantee for money advanced to settlers, though I may possibly ask your permission to do so on another occasion but if anything of tha kind is to be done at all, it will not be for.

a long time to come at any rate. In the meantime private effort alone can enable these whom want of work has deprived of the means of saving money to carry their labour to countries where it Is greatly needed and will be wall raid. To afford, as far as may be, this assistance to save the deserving unemployed from falling into the black gulf of pauperism Is the aim of this branch of our society. And through your fclnmns I appeal to the English public, it it sympathises with our alma, to assist us with snbecrfptionx, without which the work cannot he carried on, and of which we are now greatly in need. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, JOHN MARTINEAU, Chairman of the Emigration Sab Committee of the Charity Organization Society.

15, BiKkgham treat. Strand. W.C Jan. 2L. TRADE MARKS' REGISTRATION AND THE PATENT OFFICE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir, Tbe publicity given in your columns to any general grievance, more particularly if it affects the commercial interests ot the community, pb tains, ax a rule, some redress for the evil. May then, on poblie grounds, again ask the favour of the courtesy which you have so often shown ma For some time past the growing importance attached to trade marks has led to a steady increase at the Patent Office in the number of applications tendered for registra tion. The Trade Marks branch there has. however, proved utterly inadequate to meeting the requirements ot the public.

A constantly Increasing state of arrrar in tha examination of, and further dealing with, such applications has resulted. This may to a certain extent be accounted for by soma variations, in procedure, casting additional labours upon the staff, and by difficulties occa sioned in settling the fresh practice in connexion with word marks adopted under instructions from the Board of Trade, which were Issued for the Vorpose of giving effect to the suggestions contained in my letter to TAsTisarsof August 17 last. From whatsoever causes arising, there can be no ques tion that it is a serious grievance that an application, no matter how important in its nature, even when no difS cult)' exists to preclude its immediate acceptance, should, in its rotation order, meet with a delay of several weeks befere being passed for advertising in the official journal. Every day eamplainta on the subject are received at this office in connexion with applications which have been lodged from here, and remonstrances through myself, as well as directly by the applicants, are constantly being sddressed to the Patent Office, where every desire is always shown to afford some satisfactory explanation. Unfortunately however, no practical remedy has thus far resulted, nor is it possible to.

see how with the existing staff any itacraased facilities can a afforded to tha com mercial community. It would seem almost needles to urge on behalf of trader mark owners that, while numerous marks are in tended for permanent use, in many industries a large proportion of those tendered for registration are but ephemeral in their nature, being employed in what are known as season The prompt passing of marks coming within this latter category is of vital importance, as the goods hare to ba shipped in anticipation while the danger of applying a proposed trade mark until certain that it has in no way been anticipated is great, notwithstanding that every pre caution may have been taken under search in the classified volumes here to avoid interference with the pre exiatent rights ot others. Again, many trade marks now tendered for registration are intended to be applied to new or goods produced under recent patents. Delay in these instances involves serious loss, inasmuch as such manufactures or goods cannot meanwhile with safety be placed upon tha home markets or shipped abroad. It cannot be denied that tha examination in the Search Department becomes every day more involved under the increased number of registrations already recorded and the daily augmented total of applications.

If, then, what I have ventured to describe is the condition of the office work with a little ever 61,000 as the rotation number now attained, what is to be expected when we reach 100,000, or in due 200.000? So far I have dealt with the initial stage "cf the work at the. Pateat Office, which is limited to tha examination and passing of applications. A fresh period of delay next ensues after the blocks have been furnished by applicants. Insertion in the official journal, it must be admitted, should promptly follow tha delivery of blocks but in most instances it is far other wise. Thus again arises a long mterral prior to the setting in of the statutory period of two months during which opposition can be lodged after publication in the official journal.

Then only can registration ba completed. Under the moat advantageous circumstances an application cannot be carried through under three months, but tha average now ts nearly double this period. To save a month would be a great boon to the commercial community and now that the numerous questions originally involved in dealing with old marks hare been settled, I venture to throw out the suggestion next legislating the Tresent statutory period after advertising might, without any dis advantage, be reduced to one month. As regards the initial delay referred to above, the only mode of meeting the difficulty that suggests itself is an immediate increase in the permanent staff of the Trade Marks branch. To keep pace with the influx of blocks for insertion in tbe official journal and to clear off arrears, the only plan for the present is to again increase the number of pages in the.

official journal, as was recently dene for a few weeks, and to so continue permanently if necessary. It can in no way be justifiably urged by the Treasury that this should be refused for motives of economytnever having been contemplated that under Its sale the journal should be made eelf supporting. The advertising of applications aad the insertion of blocks in the official journal constitute a necessary Government outlay to he provided out of tbe fees paid, equally aa are the salaries of the staff, and all other expenses at the Patent Office, which again, so far as concerns it Trade Marks branch. Is always to be regarded ather as an office for the benefit and protection of the exKanaercial community ia their rights than hi any way aa a source of fiscal revenue. Perhaps I should earlier have mentioned the statistical fact that during tha last four years, from 4J05 in 1863, the annual number of appUcatiotis for registration has steadily increased, the total for tha ytstr just taminated being upwards el 1U.UUU.

I am. Sir. your most obedient servant, EDMUND JOHNSON, Manager of the Trade Mark Protection Society, and Hon. Secretary of the London Trade Marks Committee. bstla etraot.

About a quarter past 11 witness was jn the passage leading to the street door when he heard an alarm of Fire." Ha asked those around him to open all the doors, and advised those coming out to go back to their seats, saying, You see it is a false Tha people he spoke to. did not return, but waited in the passage for their relatives.

He then made his way towards the hall, and advised the people to fallow him back, but they would not do so. He spoke to them in Kngliah and in their own language. When he got to the body of the hall he found the gas waa out. Some of the performers were on the stage with candle in their hands. There were lights on the staircase and in the bar.

The hall presented a scene of confusion, snd things were upset The people were pressing, towards the three exits, but most of them were hurrying to the main exit. He did not detect a smell of gas. Some of the people were. ahrieking. The cries came from all over the place.

The people on the stage tried to quiet the audience, but without success. Witness's father waa the owner of the premises, and built the place last year with the assistance of the members. Up ts March last the front was a private house and the back a manufactory. One of the rules of the club stated That no stranger could be admitted at any tune." he UOR03ER. men tne mica are not correct 7 Witness said that the rule had been altered.

Hi father adapted tbe premises for the purposes of the dramatic club. The hall waa capable of holding about COO people. The main exit had swing doors from the hall, and from thence into the 'sbbr, by which two doorways took people into tbe street. There were two other doorways one directly leading, and the other indirectly leading into the yard. The yard was separated from the passage by a door, and was connected with the.

street br a narrow passage and doorway. Tbe gallery ran round three sides of the build ing. On the left gallery there was only the staircase exit, which he had already mentioned. There was no brickwork where the three doors were on the right gallery, and which led to an external flat. This flat was not lighted by any gas lamp or any other light.

It was about 7ft. or 8ft. from the ground. There wa a dwarf wall about 6in. high to prevent people falling over.

Some of the people were using the exits into the yard, and some the one through the cellar into the yard. There was a crowd round the door. Tbe people could not. or would not, move rrom the door, and the two streams of people, caused by those trying to get out and those trying to get in. prevented any one getting in or out.

Witness sent for the police and medical men. The police arrived soon after aad prevented the people coming in and also picked up the people who were lying on the ground. Eventually the hall was cleared, when it was found that 17 persons were dead. He could not my who called out Fire." or who turned out the gas. The building was not licensed for theatrical performances.

There was no licence for dancing and music. There was an Excise permission for members to be served with refreshments. No one but members, unless introduced by a member, were admitted. On this particular occasion the children rame with their parrots, who were all members. Each member wa allowed to introduce one friend, but generally brought two.

The children were not con sidered In this number. Tbe ticket produced waa ror the purpose of notifying the entertainment, which waa for the benefit of a reduced tradesman. The piece to be performed was TXeSpanitK Gipry Girt. The tickets were printed without witness's knowledge. The Deo tile were admitted by one of the members.

There waa a check on people ccrming in. The check at the door on that and all occa sions was the porter, lie could not understand the meaning of the words tickets only will benefit," which were printed on the He believed the premises had passed the district surveyor. About two minutes after the gas was extinguished in the hall it wa re lit. The whole of the lamps were not re lit, but he was sure some were. The meter was in the cellar, and acme one must have gone there and turned the gas off at the meter.

Some one must have gone down afterwards and turned it on again. He heard a man say that some one had turned the gas off at the meter. He could not give the name of the person who said that, but he was one of the amateur actors. He was unable to say who re lit the lamps. No one wa specially ppotnted to look alter the gaa, and any one ut it.

On this occasion the tickets were not printed by witness's instructioas. There, was room in the gallery for another 100 persons, but the body of tha hall was nearly full.

During the evening witness wxs all over the place. The partition was at the foot of the stairs, and the greatest pressure was in front of the secretary's office, near the swing doors. The offioe was a temporary one. The rush of people did not cause the partition to give war, and witness believed it waspulled down by the police and some of the members to give more room.

Rabenstein' usually sent round a rang to annoy him. Witness did net have a constable there that evening, as he did not anticipate that anything would happen. On one occasion there was an assault on the police, and he believed the disturbance was caused by a rival Hebrew dub, named the Russian Iambeth stmet Club.

He believed Marks Rabenstein was manager of that club. On that evening eoma of Rubenxtein a members could have been introduced by the members of witness's club. Tbe Coroner.

Sir, I am greatly puzzled by Lord Randolph ChurchiTs etatm to speak of normal naval expenditure terms of fired sums. It is a platitude to consider the cost of national defence as a premium on insurance; yet whowoaU speak of normal premium in terms of fixed sues Normal premiums caa only be properly stated ia tarns of proportion to the sum assured, and I know ao other way of properly using the terms normal and.

aaacr mal in naval expenditure. If you increase tie sua insured or.you must pay a proportioaately larger pnauaai i and if that which our Navy has to guard increases ia vala a corresponding increase ia the Naral Estimates is aoruul not to make the increase would be abnormal. In 1883 our exports and imports amounted value 642 millions. Twelve millions for naval expenditure is cent, on that sum. No legislator could with any face get up in his place and say that cent is a heavy premium to pay for the safety of that gigantic trade.

Ia ICS our fathers were content to bear a charge of 6 8 per rent ou their foreign commerce. In 1848 it was per east. in ISCd it was 2'6 per cent, and it is only since tn" has ever fallen below 2 per cent. We all recoZect the great cutting down of 18t tha Navsl Estirnetes f3 three millions, but at tha subsequent cost of two scares srJ corresponding sudden and abnormal waste of mcxxj. Tne tically the Navy ha beeo for tbe kit year sr two trjffig pick up the nine million it most nhsdKiousIy sal wsatefully dropped between the year.

1S.0 and 1382. It was thi dropping of legitimate and propermsuranc premiums which was really abisormal'but there ts aothag abnormal now in 12 millione for our naval erperannir. whether wo take it aa a proporticciate payment per population, per million of I oreiga commerce, fr tJ merchant shipping, or per pound of revenue, is me the reverse of common sense to lear. oat of ccnsaicra tibn the question of proportion.
