Ci03.LONDON LONDON , Nov. 18. The news received hero from Madrid to the effect that Admiral do Mello lias proclaimed Prlnco Pedro emperor of Brazil is much commented upon and con firmation or denial of the report is anxiously expected. The news , however , is generally accepted as being correct. It comes here from other sources in addition to the dis patch from Madrid. ' The Exchange Telegraph company says that after Admiral do Mello had proclaimed Prlnco Pedro as emperor ho put to sea with several of hU ships in order to intercept President Poixoto's now transports , which are conveying supplies of men , ammunition mid provisions to tliooxistlng government at Rio do Janeiro. It Is not believed , however , that the Insurgent admiral is certain or in tercepting the transports , as the point of debarkation of the munitions of war is be lieved to have been kept a secret. A letter Just received by a prominent Lon don merchant says : jf do Mello is beaten H will be a heavy blow to British prestige. President Pelxoto is mad with rage at for eigners , and especially against the British. Do Mollo Is Inclined precisely the other way nnd constant friendly communications are going on between the French , Italian and British war ships and Admiral do Mello , while the German and American coimnandcis hold aloof. " The B-azillan minister hero says that the Comtcss d'Eu would have been empress under the old law of succession , as she had ttevernbdlcateil , and that Admiral do Mello's proclamation Is void until she has done so. The minister adds that ho has received no news whatever concerning the reported --ecl tn tlon of Prince. p dro as emperor. Ho has received advices to the effect that Admiral do M llo was to sail north today on board the Aquidauan : Slur on tlio United StntcM The Westminster ( lazctto expresses the opinion that Prlnco Pedro is on board Ad miral Mcllo's fhg-shlp , nnd says ; "If iMcllo can foi-co a landing and Join the insurgents , advancing from the south nnd selzo Ulo , the icpublle willflzzlo inglonously. " The Ga zette also thinks thai the Brazilians favor the re-establishment of a monarchy , adding : "What will tlio United States say as the republican protector of the continent ? If Brazil sides with Prlnco Pedro , what can Cleveland do after the mess made by his predecessors in Chill ? Mr. Cleveland , how ever llttlo Americans may like a monarchy in the new world , will bo careful of the Interests of tlio United States in Brazil , which arc commercial and not sentimental. " The Brazilian minister also said that the engines of the Aquidaban were not good and that the warship was unseaworthy. Shot by Order of I'clxoto. A dispatch from Lisbon today says that a messenger who has arrived there from Bra zil announces that Scnor Jose Patrlnco , the editor of a noivspaper , who has been contin ually and strongly opposed to President Peixoto , has bean shot by order of the presi dent.

[ Now York World Cable Special to Tin : Bnn.1For the first tlmo in many years , at least , a serious at tack has been made on the credit and man agement of the Bank of England. As the World's dispatches stncO have shown , the disclosures were so serious that the llnan- ctal writers of the entire London pressfrom the Times down , have not only discussed them freely , but ha\o appealed to the di rectors of the bank to make a full and exact statement of all tlio facts. The directors havo-notresponded asyot , but a seml-ofllcial publication has boon made that the late cashier , Frank May , has certainly been guilty of grave irregularities in the loans made to moribund trust companies , but not of actual fraud. It is said , also , on the same authority , that the actual losses will not exceed 5100,000. But ronowca attention lias been called to tlio heavy losses sustained by the bank from advances made in connection with tlio Murriotta liquidation. On the other hand it claims that considerable profit accrued from the Baring brothers transactions. Giiuscil n Drop in Shares. The result of all this has marked down the price of the bank shares 4 per cent in the past few days. Today's quotations are 328 per 100 shares against i'33T last year. No doubt is now felt but that the first rumors , including these of complicity and the resignations of two directors , uro much exaggerated , and the price of the shares has rallied in the past two days. , The disclosures have , however , resulted in an agitation in influential circles for drastic reform in the constitution of the bank , par ticularly in the appointment of n permanent chairman of recognised experience and at a largo salary , in place of the system of elect ing a governor from the directors in rota tion every two years. .Tho directors now fill all vacancies in their number , therefore the directorate is a self-perpetuating body. The governor is paid only $10,000 , n year , yet must practically give up all other business. No banker is eligible to the directory , and lead ing merchants often decline election be cause of the laterferc'nco that must hamper their own business when time to serve as governor comes around. The proposed re form mvst como from 'tho directory , since the government cannot appoint a governor or chairman. Wilt Kxpcno Spaculnton. The recent developments will certainly hasten a full disclosure of the affairs of the Winchester House croup of trustees , which has already been snown to have been en gaged in the wildest speculations , result ing in enormous losses. English trust com panies are very different from American companies called by that name. They re ceive no deposits and are not subject to any governmental supervision. Their losses fallen on shareholders only and such banks as have made advances on those becurities. These companies underwrote the shams of various brewery companies in the United States , on which tbo losses have already been very great and promise to bo larger still. BAU.AIID SMITH.

Austria was delighted with the proposition , for she , too , is in a baa way financially nnd would also bo'glad to re duce her military expenditures under the pretext that Europe's most earnest desire is to live in peace and to diminish the possible chances for a war. 1'rnnpects of n'L'olltlcal Union.

A pronunclamento publlshcd4n all the lead ing conservative papers is the war cry. It Is given out that everything must bo done to impcdo the action of the government in every possible direction , The revelations concerning aristocratic habits arising from the Hanover gambling scandals como , however , as a rude shock to the agrarian compaign. The socialists will arraign their private Ufa and the dissipa tion of their sons and the squandering of im mense fortunes as proof that the pretended losses duo to agricultural depression are mere buncombe. Among the preventative measures sug gested against a recurrence of such scan dals is the abolition of the military riding school at Hanover , lu order to prevent a large gathering of officers In that city nnd transfer of trainora in ridingx to separate brigades.

The report pro poses to establish n register of all the firms and persons doing business on timo. This is to bo periodically published in the ODIcial Gazette , and failure to register will virtually make tlmo bargains illegal , it is hoped that such a register will impair the credit of firms indulging in tlmo speculations , but ns evasion ot the proposed law is not difll- cult , it is thought the result of the proposed legislation would bo to close business. The report of the bourse ttonunisslon further proposes the creation of a new stock ex change corporation , Into whicn nobody will bo admitted unless their business standing is guaranteed by throe mombsrs , and , in ad dition , the mcmbershlo will bo limited to these who cngago solely in bourse business.

The prince's atti tude slnco his abdication lias been most logical and correct toward Bulgaria , refusing steadily to join in any intrlguo likely to dis turb the peace of tlio country.
