Financial Meetings
Central Bank of London
This afternoon the 54th ordinary meeting of the shareholders in this bank was held at Winchester House, Sir Leopold Heath in the chair.

According to the report the gross profit for the half-year amounted to £43,617, and the balance of profit to - - . A dividend at the rate of 10 per cent per annum was recommended, with addition of £3,000 to the reserve, and carrying forward £5,923. -

The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, referred to the sudden death of Mr H. Latter, who had been general manager since the formation of the bank 27 years ago. The might fairly congratulate themselves on the six months' working, resulting as it did ni a net profit at the rate of - - per cent, per annum. That was not a bad return considering that in the last ten years the paid up ---tal a proportionately large sum to show the - - percentage of profit. The trade of the country had been unusually brisk and active. The cheques, - - which had passed through the Clearing House exceeded those of the previous year by £182,282,000, and the value was in fact the largest on record.

During the past half year the bank rate had averaged - -5s. 9d., and on the whole, except for the Baring - -ble, which had necessitated great caution for a time, they had had a good period for bankers. The totals exhibited in the accounts gave an increase almost equal to the paid up capital of the bank. The reserve fund now stood at £144,000; 92 per cent of the paid-up capital of the bank, the percentage being largely in a class of any similar institution. They were in an extraordinarily strong financial position. They had --5.202 immediately available for emergencies, or - - er per cent. of their liabilities on current and deposit accounts, and that was without taking into consideration £200,000 invested in first-class securities.

He congratulated all the shareholders, whether in - - ness or not, on the escape from a misfortune in comparison with which Black Friday would have been a trivial affair. They could not praise too highly the action of the Governor of the Bank of England, but they should take to heart the lesson which the (fall?) of so great a house taught, of the danger of hastening to grow rich. The directors were confirmed in their belief that the best way to push forward the shareholders interests was to proceed on a steady and non-speculative lines, which had always been adopted by the Bank of London (hear, hear), - Mr G. Smith seconded the adoption of the report, which was agreed to unanimously.

Kidsgrove. - Primrose League Gathering. - On Monday night the members of the Coal and Iron Workers Habitation of the Primrose League held their annual gathering in the Assembly Rooms, Kidsgrove. Mr T.R. Storey presided over a well-attended gathering, among those present being the Rev. M.W.McHutchin, the Rev. A. Trustram, Mr and Mrs James Heath, the Misses Mars-Caldwell, Mr J. Loring, Mr F.C. Wade, and others.
An enjoyable entertainment was provided, songs being given by the Misses Storer, Messrs Williamson, J.Downing, Crimes, P.Evans, and Goodfellow, and violin solos by Master Parker.

There was also a little speech-making, during which the Chairman said that the habitation had been in a flourishing condition for five years. and he hoped that satisfactory state of things would continue. At the Chairmans call, a hearty welcome was given to Mr James Heath, the Unionist candidate for North-West Staffordshire - Mr Heath explained the principles of the League, and urged that a larger interest should be taken in their development by the members.

Respecting the principle of the unity of the Empire, he said that did not mean the unity of Ireland with Greater Britain merely, but the unity of the Greater Britain.
Year by year our colonies were getting more important, and he thought something should be done to bind them more closely with this country. Consideration might very well be given to the Imperial Federation League under the lead of Lord Rosebery. He feared that if England did not take more notice of her Colonies she would soon become a mere speck in the ocean. In reference to Irish affairs, he considered that the advocates of Home Rule had committed suicide; Ireland was peaceful and contented, and there were fewer prisoners in the gaols than before the passing of the Coercion Act.

Mr Heath M.P., in the Louth Division.
Mr A. Raymond Heath M.P., for the Louth Divsion of Lincolnshire, has just concluded a series of successful meetings amongst his constituents. At Wold Newton, in the north-eastern portion of the division, the chair was taken by the Rev. Charles A. Alington, rector of Swinhope.

Mr Heath said he was glad to make the aquaintence of his supporters at Wold Newton. He had intended to visit them long ago, but when he saw that his opponent, Mr Perks, was advertised to address a meeting in the village, he felt pleased that he had delayed, because he thought he should be able to read Mr Perks's speech and find something new to talk about. Mr Perks had given them half an evening and there was absolutely nothing in his speech that required an answer, because a good deal was said about matters which really did not concern the working men of this country.

After referring to the Iris question, and expressing an opinion that Home Rule would soon be dropped altogether, Mr Heath claimed that the legislation of the present Government had been directly for the benefit of the agricultural labourer and the agricultural classes generally, and that Lord Salibury's Administration would be named by posterity as having earned the gratitude of all. Mr Heath received a cordial vote of thanks for his address. At North Somercotes Mr Heath attended a meeting held in connection with the Marsh Habitation of the Primrose League. Mrs A Raymond Heath presided, and was supported by Lieut. Heath, R.N., and the Rev. Freshney, county councillor for the district. - - -

Sir, - We the members of this Association, with much respect, beg your acceptance of the accompanying hunting cup, as a slight token of esteem for you personally, and as a mark of our appreciation of the valuable services you have rendered to the cause we all have so much at heart - England and the Union. We much regret that you are about to resign the Presidency, and take this opportunity of wishing you a very large share of happiness and prosperity in the future." -

Mr Manning, the hon. secretary, in an appropriate speech, made the presentation to Mr Heath, who in returning thanks, said if afforded him much pleasure to receive the gift made to him, especially as he noticed the address contained the names of many subscribers of small sums. He regretted having to give up the office, and he hoped that the members would continue to display their interest in the success of the Conservative cause, as they had done in the past.

The Directors are:- Sir John D. Astley Bart. (Chairman, Elsham Hall, Brigg, Lincolnshire; Raymond Heath Esq., M.P., Thorpe Hall, Louth, Lincolnshire, - - -

Perhaps some member of the Board - or the local solicitor or the local agent - would like to give the public some information as to the reasons they have for believing that the property sold by the West of England Compressed Peat Company in 1883for £10,000, and bought by the Cox Company for £12,832, is now worth £26,000! And, possibly, they will like to submit to the world - whose financial support they solicit - some explanation obtained from Mr Ough, of the grounds upon which he has arrived at the conclusion that the railway connecting the works with Bridestowe, which cost £15,000 when made 13 years ago - but which of late years has hardly earned a penny - is today worth to the Devon Granite and Peat Litter Works Company - £8,000 in excess of its original cost. - - -

Marriage of Mr Cuthbert Heath and Miss S.G. Gambier.

On Thursday, St. Peter’s, Bournemouth, the marriage was solemnised of Mr. Cuthbert E. Heath, son of Admiral Sir Leopold Heath, K.C.B., of Anstie Grange, Holmwood, to Miss Sarah Gore Gambier, daughter of the late Rev. C. Gore Gambier, of Bournemouth.

Owing to the recent death of the bride’s father, the ceremony was of a quiet nature. a large number, however, of the friends and relatives of the contracting parties were present at the church.

The service was choral, the officiating clergy being the Rev. Canon Fisher and the Rev. William Brandreth.

The bride, who was given away by her brother, Mr. Michael Gambier, was attired in white brocade bodice, with high collar and train, over a silver embroidered petticoat, and she wore tulle veil and orange blossoms. Her bouquet was of white flowers, and the diamond ornaments with which she was adorned were the gift of the bridegroom. Her handsome train was carried by Master Raymond Heath, who wore - a page’s costume, composed of white corduroy velveteen, with mauve sash, and he displayed a pearl pin, the gift of the bridegroom.

The bridesmaids were Miss Helena Gambier, Miss Gertrude Lascelles, and Miss Violet Heath, who were attired in costumes of mauve cotelle cloth, made with white silk panels, and waistcoat, trimmed with narrow gold braid, with large chiffon bow neck. They wore white hats of ostrich feather tips and mauve, and carried bouquets to correspond.

The bridegroom’s gift each of them was a pearl and gold brooch. Captain Gerard Heath, R.E., acted as best man.

After the service a reception was held at Francroft, the residence of the bride’s mother. The following were among the guests :

Admiral Sir Leopold Heath, K.C.B., and Lady Heath, Mr. A. Raymond Heath, M.P., and Mrs. Heath, Major F.

The Birmingham and Midland Bank
Important Amalgamation -
An amalgamation of immense importance has been effected by this Midland Bank. The circular to the shareholders, announcing the amalgamation, is as follows:-—

Head Office, Birmingham, 25th August, 1891. Dear sir (or madam),—l have the pleasure to inform you that an agreement has been signed by the Directors of this bank, and by the Directors of the Central Bank of London (Limited) for the amalgamation of the two banks as from the 30th June last.

The Central Bank of London (Limited) has a paid-up capital of £156,250 and a reserve fund of £144,000. Its head office is in Cornhill, it has 10 branches in London, a seat in the Clearing-house, and enjoys a very high reputation in the City.

The agreement made between the two Boards is that two shares of this bank, with £12 10s. per share paid up, be offered to the shareholders of the Central Bank, in exchange for five shares of that bank, with £5 per share paid up. Shareholders of the Central Bank, who prefer to take cash, will be paid off at the rate £15 per share.

Four of the Directors of the Central Bank have been offered, and have accepted, seats at the Board of this bank. The managers, other officers, and the whole of the staff of the Central Bank will continue their services with this bank.

Your Directors have very great confidence in announcing this amalgamation, and propose to take this opportunity of altering the name the bank to one more in harmony with its extended operations than the present title. A meeting of the shareholders will shortly be convened to effect this change of name.

An application will, in due course', be made for quotation on the London Stock Exchange.

I have also the pleasure to inform you that the resolutions recently passed by the shareholders for the substitution of memorandum and articles of association for the old deed of settlement have been duly confirmed by the Court. The Directors have decided, in future, to follow the practice of London banks, by issuing a report and balance-sheet, with profit and loss, account, each half-year, instead of yearly as heretofore. The report, with statement of accounts for the half-year ending 30th June last, is herewith enclosed.—l am, yours faithfully, J. D. Goodman, Chairman."

Mr W. G. Bradshaw, Mr J. H. Buckingham, Sir L. G. Heath, K.C.B., and Mr George Smith are the Directors the Central Bank, who will join the Board of the amalgamated banks.

The report enclosed was follows : The Directors have to report that the net profits for the half-year ending 30th June, 1891, after payment of all expenses at head office and branches, Directors' remuneration, interest to customers, rebate on bills of exchange, and making provision for bad and doubtful debts, amount to £57,354 8s 2d., which, with the balance of £3,616 3s. 5d. brought forward from the 31st December, 1890, makes a total available for distribution of £60,970 11s. 7d.

Out of this sum the Directors have appropriated the sum £47,812 10s., being interim dividend for the half-year at the rate of 15 per cent, per annum, and £1,195 6s. 3d. income-tax paid for shareholders, and have carried forward to the next account £11,962 15s. 4d.

Annexed is a copy of the audited statement of accounts. Branches of the bank have been opened during the half year at Lichfield and at Bramley, near Leeds.—By order of the Board, J. A. Christie, General Manager, Birmingham, 11th July, 1891.

Civic Banquet at Louth. - The Mayor of Louth (Alderman James Fowler) on Thursday evening entertained the Corporation of Louth, the borough officials, and the clergy and ministers of the town at a banquet in the Town Hall. The gathering was a large and representative one.

Mr A. Raymond Heath M.P., in proposing the toast of the Louth Grammar School, said many years ago Parliament constructed the first storey of the educational edifice in a small way by a grant of £20,000, and now the fabric had been completed by the Act passed last session giving a great boon of free education. Though there had been differences of opinion as to details, all had agreed in the principle that the time had come and was ripe for giving free eduction to the children of this country, and it has been done without imposing additional burden upon the taxpayer. Now that elementary education was complete Parliament ought to go a step further and see that secondary education was made better. (Applause). - --

Polling Day - After a campaign that has been conducted with considerable vigour, the municipal elections are taking place in Notthingham today. Last year, it will be remembered that November 1st fell upon a Saturday, and the inconvenience to which shop-keepers and tradesfolk were generally put in order to get away from their business and go to the poll militated against heavy polling. - - - The conservative workers were stimulated by a large number of telegrams received at the Central Committee Rooms in the course of the morning wishing Mr Welles-Lucas success in his candidature. Many of them came from Louth, and effectively disposed of the insinuation made at the Liberal meeting in Nottingham last Friday night that Mr Welles-Lucas was unpopular and not respected in the Lincolnshire borough. Early amongst these was a message from Mr Raymond Heath M.P., for the Louth Division of Lincolnshire, wishing him success at the poll - - -

Staffordshire - A Mansion Destroyed by Fire.

Linley Hall, Linley Wood, North Staffordshire, the residence of the Misses Marsh-Caldwell was destroyed by fire on Saturday. The fire originated in that part of the house where the servants were engaged in disinfecting by means of burning sulphur.

Crewe Chronicle

Talk-o'th'-Hill.

Destructive fire at Linley Wood.

A destructive fire occurred on Saturday at Linley Wood, the residence of the Misses Marsh-Caldwell, the mansion being an ancient and historic structure situated on an eminence near Talk-o'th'-Hill. The fire was discovered in the nursery. Information was despatched to neighbouring towns, and the Sandbach manual-engine was soon on the spot, being quickly followed by the Tunstall steam fire-engine.
In the meantime the Revds. W.M. McHutchin and J. Trsitram of Talke and Messrs M. Johnson and J. Price, colliery managers, had arrived and organised operations by means of which much valuable property was carried from the burning building, including heirlooms of various kinds, plate, pictures, and furniture.

From its age and construction the hall was peculiarly liable to the ravages of fire, so that the flames progressed rapidly, and by the time the fire brigade arrived they had got firm hold of the central portion of the building, which was completely gutted.

Fortunately the efforts of the firemen prevented the spread of the flames beyond that section of the hall in which the fire broke out. The amount of damage can not be estimated. The origin of the fire is not definitely known, but it appears that there had been a case of fever at the hall, and the servants were engaged in disinfecting the room by means of sulphur.

The burning sulphur was placed in a coalscuttle,a nd it is conjectured that the bottom of the vessel gave way from the heat, and thus set fire to the floor of the room.

Congleton & Macclesfield Mercury

Fire at Linley Hall

On Saturday afternoon a fire broke out at Linley Hall, the residence of the Misses Marsh-Caldwell. It appears the family and servants were at dinner, and one of the servants having occasion to go upstairs, found a bedroom on the upper storey in flames.

An alarm was raised, and a telegram was sent for the Tunstall fire engine, and a messenger was also despatched on horseback to Sandbach, which is about six miles away, for the fire engine from that town.
In the meantime numbers of people were attracted to the Hall, by the smoke and flames, which soon burst through the roof.

Amongst those who wended their way to the scene of the conflagration were many willing helpers, who, with the family and servants, soon cleared the Hall of its contents, which, however, were a good deal damaged by breakage. As far as we can learn, nothing was injured by fire, except the contents of two bedrooms, one of which was occupied by Miss Rosamond Marsh-Caldwell, and contained her wardrobe and jewellery. The entire contents of these two rooms were destroyed.

Much sympathy is felt for the ladies in the calamity that has so suddenly befallen them. Their kindly feeling and generosity to the poor in the parish, and their liberality in all good works have endeared them in the eyes of their neighbours.

Great credit is due to the Sandbach Fire Brigade for the promptitude with which they answered the summons, and the way in which they did their work. The actual cause of the fire is not directly ascertained. The family heirlooms and plate were all saved.

To the Editor of the Mercury.

Sir, - The ladies of Linley Wood have requested me to ask you to be kind enough to correct the somewhat exaggerated reports circulating about the disastrous fire which occurred on Saturday last.
Although at one time it seemed as if nothing could save the house from complete destruction, the exertions of the Fire Brigade saved the front part of the Hall.

The portion which has been destroyed is one of the back wings of the house, facing the gardens - one of the oldest parts of the house. The jewel case has been recovered, having been dug out from under the debris, and although the outside of the case was completely destroyed, fortunately none of the stones were injured.

Miss Marsh-Caldwell will feel much obliged if you will allow her to take this opportunity of thanking all those who so kindly and energetically assisted in removing the furniture and pictures. Where many helped so willingly it would be invidious to name anyone in particular. She returns more sincere thanks to all her friends.

May I (add) that I feel quite sure all the inhabitants of Talke were only to glad to do all in their power to show their sympathy with the ladies of Linley Wood, from whom they have received, for many years, so much kindness, and to whom everyone in Talke is so much attached and indebted.

Serious Fire at Linley Wood -

This residence, which is situated between Kidsgrove and Harecastle, and is the family seat of the Misses Marsh-Caldwell, was seriously damaged by fire on Saturday and narrowly escaped total destruction.

The hall has a stuccoed exterior and is of considerable antiquity, a sun-dial in the garden bearing the date 1686. The wing where the fire broke out, which is three stories in height and forms part of the back premises, was erected in about 1800. The fire was discovered about half-past twelve having originated in one of the servants' bedrooms.
A great deal of timber is used in the construction of the hall, and this, being dry with age, proved highly inflammable,the fire spreading with alarming rapidity.

The fire brigades of Sandbach and Tunstall were sent for, and pending their arrival those present exerted themselves to save the furniture, bedding, books, and pictures from the fire. More zeal than discretion seems to have been used in this work, the goods being thrown out of the windows or roughly removed, and a great deal of damage being done.

The Sandbach Fire Brigade, under Capt. Cooke, arrived first with their manual engine, the Tunstall brigade, under Capt. Lee, coming up on their steamer soon afterwards. The latter was of plentiful service, the water having to be thrown up a steep hill at the bottom of the meadows, which no hand engine could have done and which taxed the powers of steam to accomplish.

The Sandback engine was supplied from the hall tank. The fire was played upon steadily, without apparent effect at first, but the volume of water which was poured into the burning building gradually subdued the flames, which gave way to smoke and steam, and after the operations had been continued for about two hours a mastery over the fire was obtained.

The Tunstal brigade and engine remained at the hall until nearly nine o'clock, in the event of a fresh outbreak occurring.

The front portion of the hall has fortunately escaped injury, a fact which is due to the calm weather, for had a strong wind prevailed, the fire would most probably have seized upon the whole building before the arrival of the firemen and engines.
As it is, however, the fire was confined to the chambers over the dining-room and the dining-room itself, which are burnt out and the roof is demolished.

A quantity of the servants' clothing was destroyed but the plate and jewelery belonging to the Misses Marsh-Caldwell was preserved. A jewel-case with its valuable contents was missing at first, but was discovered among the debris. A force of the county constabulary, under the charge of Supt. Hall, was present during the fire, and at night remained in charge of the salvage on the lawn, which was covered with tarpaulin.
The Rev. M.W.McHutchin, rector of Talke, placed his house at the disposal of the Misses Marsh-Caldwell, and the servants were temporarily accommodated at various houses in the neighbourhood.

The fire is attributed to an accidental cause during the fumigation by sulphur of one of the bedrooms where a case of fever had been treated. The damage is estimated at about £2,000, and the loss is covered by insurance.

Speeches of Mr Heneage M.P., and Mr Heath M.P.
We last week gave a list of the awards at this show, which was continued on Friday. At the market Messrs Mason and Sons had the usual fine supply of fat beasts on offer - - -
The annual dinner took place at the Mason's Amrs on Friday afternoon. Mr E. Preston, Rawnsley M.F.H., presided and was suported by the Mayor (Councillor Longbottom), the High Steward (Mr Smyth), Mr A.R.Heath M.P., Hon. E. Heneage, Revs F. Freshney and E.L. Gardner - - -

Mr W. Hornsby proposed "the Member for the Louth Parliamentary Division." He passed a warm eulogium on Mr Heath, and hoped they should meet him again next year.

Mr A.R.Heath M.P., in responding, said this as the sixth time that he had attended their fat stock dinner, and he hoped, if his life was spared, to attend six more time. He was glad to notice that Mr T. Freshney had been judging at Smithfield, and no better man for the purpose could have been found in Lincolnshire. He believed that these shows served a useful purpose. The year, he was sorry to say, had not been a good one for agriculturalists, as the unpropitious weather prevailing during the spring and summer had been followed by almost incessant wet except during the month of harvest. - - -

Many superstitious people believe that accidents usually go in threes. Here is an instance for them. On Friday, the 4th inst. a carriage horse belonging to Sir Leopold Heath shied, and ran into and smashed a carriage. On the following day the same horse ran away with a cart and eventually collided with a bridge, over-turning the cart, and pitching the coachman out. Fortunately in neither case was anyone much hurt. But on Thursday last Sir Leopold's youngest son, Captain Gerard Heath R.E., who is staying at Anstie Grange, was riding to hounds, when a fellow rider's horse kicked him rather badly on the knee. Captain Heath is still confined to the house, but is progressing favourably.
