YESTERDAY.—AN IRISH COLONY IN LONDON.—FILTII AND FEVEl.—Before Mr. Mille, at the Boots, Cromer-street, Brunswick-square, upon Jahn Don nelly. an Irish labourer, 'Mao! Union-cued. Compton-street, who died of typhus fever. The inquest was held in come entire, of a report that deceased's death was the result of the fetid unwholesome atmosphere in which he lived. From the general evidence it stile , red that in a room six feet square deceavd, his wife, and six children resided, who were all seized with typhus fever. There were within the LAMA court where they bred 500 Irish of the lowest character, and fever constantly raged in the vici- lefty. Doctors Popham end Walters examined the court, which they found to he a sink of filth, full of stagnant cesspools, and totally deprived of ventila tion and light; in fact, a very hotbed of infection. They were of opinion that the fever of which deceased died, and which raged in the court, was the result of its filthy crowded oonditioci. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the medical testimony, accompanied by an earnest 'seine that the owners of the premises would without delay abate the dangerous nuisance that prevailed in the court, and render its houses lit habitat.ons for human beings, adopting efficient measures to induce the tenants and their lodgers to maiatain in their houses cleaulieess and good order. The governors of the Foundling Hospital are the owners of these filthy congregation of dwellings unfit for human abode.—' SUPPOSED Si:WIDE VP Ma ATTON. - - Before Mr. W.

Barlow, of Nor thumberland-street, Strand, the deceased's son in law, and other witnesses, said that the body was found on Friday in the river off Cotton's Wharf, Boni> down. There were many wounds on the head. Mr. Pettigrew, surgeon, was of opinion the injuries had been after death. Some time ago the deceased had left the Pantheon in Oxford-street ( where In bad held a meat responsible situation). His friends had made every inquiry after him, hut the only clue that could be heard of him was that about the time of his absence some watermen had seen a gentleman answering the deceased's descrirlion hap off Waterloo Bridge.

IRELAND. DUBLIN, FEB. 27. The arrival of the French intelligence yesterday, is said to have created unusual activity at the Castle. It has blown a whole gale from the south-west from an early hour this morning, and there is every prospect of its continuance. The glass is down to tempestuous, and the atmospheric symptons are simi lar to those of 1839, when a very severe tempest swept over Ireland. In Kerry tho rates press harder upon property than in any other part of Ireland, and they are also paid with more punctuality, whilst the affairs of the unions are administered with greater care, judgment, and economy. The union of Killarney, with all its agri cultural shortcomings, is among the best administered in the kingdom. Of the tremendous pressure on the , Listowel union you have been informed before. Tralee is not in a more prosperous condition. At the last meeting of the beard on Tuesday fourteen shillings in the pound were imposed on one electoral division, ten shillings on another, and eight respectively on two more • and this severe taxation does not cover the expenditure of the whole year. A second, or even third, rate may become necessary. The immen , e number of presentments for damages under the Labour Hate Act would occupy the whole time of the judges; but, from a remark of Justice Ball, it is probable government will interfere. In re ply to a question when his lordship would take up the presentments, he replied, "when the rest of the business was concluded—for," said he, " I understand the government will introduce a short bill, to consti tute a special tribunal for that purpose." This would', effect a great saving of the public money. Emigration from the south assumes a very busy aspect. Undeterred by the trans-Atlantic calamities of last year, the peasantry are preparing for voluntary exile. The Limerick aruniek states that the holders of farms from ten to fifty acres are selling off their interest and stock, and carrying out sums varying from 501. to 5001.; of the latter class there must be very few. PROVINCIAL. LANCASHIRE. 1 BURGLARY AND ATTEMPTED MURDER.—BetWeett 1 seven and eight o'clock in the evening of Friday last, five men forced their way into the house of Mr. Cottam, a sub- I stantial farmer at Broughton, about four miles on the Lan. cuter side of Preston, and having secured Mrs. Cottam and i a servant girl, who were the only inmates at the time, two of the ruffians presented a pistol to each of their hinds, and threatened to blow their brains out if they made any noise. The other three then proceeded to ransack the house, and I succeeded, unfortunately, in finding a considerable sum, in • one of the drawers, tcgether with two silver watches, and other valuables. They also made free with a loaded duck gun that was banging over the fire-place. The whole gang then took their departure, hut bed not got a quarter ..1 a mile from the house, when Mr. Cottons, who was returning from one of the neighbouring markets, met them, and little thinking what bad occurred, said to them, " Well, my mesa, have you been to my house to gee if 1 had a horse to sell i" The ruffisu who carried the guy replied, " We'll sell thee a horse!" and raising the gun to his shoulder, fired at Mr. Cottam, who received the entire charge in his thigh, which was completely shattered, it is said, by the shot. The mur derous scoundrels then took to their heel., end have not since been heard of. Mr. Cottam was soon afterwards found bleeding and nearly inaenaib e by some labourers who were attracted to the spot by the report of the gun. He WAS im mediately taken home. This daring outrage has created a great sensation in both Lancaster and Preston. LEICESTERSHIRE. LEICF-sTERSHIRE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.—We (Leieealerahire Mercury) are glad to hoar that it is in con templation to form a society in this town upon the plan of the Chambers in Commerce in Manchester and other large commercial and manufacturing towns.

JAMES AND OTHERB.—WILL.—Hr.- QUESTS TO AVM:IOIORM CHILDREN AFTER ATTAINISO 25. —ACCUMULATIONs.— REMOTENESS. —PATIIIINT Or Les OACIER OUT Or PeIusONALTT IN DIM:HARMS Or ReALTT. —Thee two appeals against a decree of Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce were argued some days ago, sad the fame and extracts (rein the will, cto which the questions for the deci shin of the house &retie, were contained in the report in this journal on the 22uct moat.--The Lord Chancellor now de livered his judgment. There were two questions: one, whether the direction in ti.o will to the trustees to invest the surplus rents and profits of the devised estates to accu mulate for the bent fit of the testator's nephews' sons was void for remoteness ; and the second, whether the real es tate was liable equally with the personalty to the payment of annuities, debts, and legacies. As to the first question, there was no doubt of the soundness of the rule, of law as laid down by Sir W. Grant in " Leake v. -on" (2 lerivele, 3d.!). The question was, whether tie rule was applicable to tke het:pests in this cue. The testator de vised and bequeathe 1 his real and personal estates to trustees to pay legacies and annuities, and directed them to invest the surplus rents and profits on security, and suffer them to accumulate, and that they should stand milted of them upon trust " when, and as soon as that any son of either of his nephews, John and Joseph, should have attained the age of 25, a valuation of his said trust estate should be made, soil that 'the same should be then divided into as many equal lots as there should be sons of his said nephews then living, and that each of his said nephew's sons when, and es they should respectively arrive at the age of 23 years, should choose one of such portions as the share to be allotted to him and his children, and th-it, thenceforth, the said portion or share should be held by the trustees upon trust, for the per son so selecting the same for his life, and, aft,t hie decease, upon trust, as to one equal moil ty for his eldest eon, and hi, heira, etc., and, as to the other moiety, for the rest of his children, and their heir% &.. ; and it but one child, both moieties for such child ; but if any or either of his said nephews' sons should die under their respective ages of 25 years, or, having attained that age, should afterwards eie without leaving 1 ,whil ioeue them or him surviving, the share of the party so dying to go to the others or other of them; and if all but one should die without leeriest law ful issue, the traetees should stand seised and possessed of the trust estate, in trust for such one surviving nephews' son for his life sod for his shildren and child as aforesaid; but if all his said nephews should depart this life without leaving lawful issue then surviving, then upon trust for such person as should at that time be his (the testator's) heir." there could not be any doubt as to the construction of that gift, the case clearly fell within the reason' , of the rule, as suited by Sir W. Grant in the case before referred to. His lordship read and adopted some of those reasons, and said the gift was not qualified, as it was argued, by the direction for maintenance; the annuities and proviaions for maintenance were girea without reference to the ultimate gifts of the accumulated surplus. After showing the distinction between this case and " Ellicombe v. Gom parts" (in 3 Mylne and Craig, 127), his lordship said he was clearly of opinion that there was nothing in any other part of the will to control the trust for the children when they attained 25, and that the gift was too remote, and therefore void . So far the decree was right. The next ques tion was whether the real estate was to be applied to the payment of the defies, legacies, and annuities equally with the personal estate, and to that question his lordship applied the rules as stated by Lord Eldon in " Bootle v. Blundell" (19 Veaey, p. 517, et seg.), to the effect that the personal estate is first liable to debts and legacies ; it is not sufficient that the real estate is charged unless the personal estate is discharged. The onus ie ou the party claiming exemption of the penalty to prove that it was so exempted by the testator. In this case the testator bequs tithed his Linde, tene ments, &c., and all his personal estate to trustees, the same persons whom he appointed his executors, upon trust to receive the rents and profits, and to retain thereout 101. a year to themselves for their trouble, and then upon the trusts (before stated), and then by a codicil he recited that he had by that will given legacies and annuities, and directed his trustees to divide his real and personal estates in the events in the will mentioned (as before stated) Then by the codicil he directed the trustees to pay out of the dividends of his personal estate, payable to each of his nephew's sons, 501. to a charity therein mentioned. There was no charge of debt on the real estate. The question was whether the annuities and legacies should be paid out of the real estate while there was personal estate. It was conceded in the argument that as certain legacies to charities were directed expressly to be pain out of the personal estate that afforded en inference that the other gilts were to be paid out of either estate. That direction was a proper precaution, as the charity legacies, it made payable out of the real estate, would fail. Both estates were vested in the same persons to pay debts and legacies, and then to vent the surplus, &c. There was no expression in the will to prevent the operation of the ordinary rale, as laid dove in " Bootle e. Blundell.' It is clear the testator never contemplated a sale of his real estate. Could it be intended by him that it should be subject to legacies and ennui:in? His lordship, after other observa tions, said this part of the Vice-Chancellor's decree should be varied. Looking to his judgment, as reputed in 1 Collyer, he observed " R 'beret e. Walker " and other cases were re ferred to ; but in all these there was a direction to sell the real estate; and en there was in " Dusk tr. Fenner " t 2 Rus sell and Mylne, 537), in "Johnson v. Woods' (2 Becvan, 4(19 in all which the testator made one luau of his property atstl"Of course it was all equally subject to Ina debts and ;mules. The head here saws be held as liable, PO far as it is charged by the will; bet as to the other legacies it must be held to be discharged, auordiog Ito the rule in " Bootle g. Blundell " beforeementioned.—His lord ship, on these grounds, moved that the decree, be Tailed is respect of the liability of the real estate le the annuities, Ate , and it was so ordered. The rest of the day was occupied in the hearing of the appeal in "Drummond e. The Attorney-Gene ral for Ire land."—Mr. Bolt, Let counsel for the appellant, hail not concludert—Ttie report is reserved until further progress all be made in the argument. EQUITY COURTS. le RB Viee-Chniert:or Knight Bruce. RB WITHY.—VICE-CHANCILLOR HAS NO JURISDIC TION IN INSOLVENCY Coatis ADMINISTERED IN THE BANK RUPTCY Cocur.—This was the petition of an equitable mortgagee; the mortgagor having taken the benefit of the Insolvent Act of 5 & 6 Vic., c. 116, and his estate being in the course of administration hi fore a bankruptcy commissioner, under the provisiora of that act, which still apply to matters which were pending at the time when the recent act passed transferring the jurisdiction to the county courts. The prayer was for an order of sale, as is usual in bankruptcy eam s. The order had been taken by consent, but the regis • trar declined drawing it up without the direction of the court, there having been no bankruptcy.—qtr. C. Hall ap rued in support of the petition, arid asked that the order might be drawn up.—The Vice-Chancellor, after consulting Mr. W. Viaard (the registrar), said that the order had been very properly stopped. His honor had already, in "Ex parte Newland.," (1, De Ocx, 150), declined to take cognisance of matters before the commissioners, in which there was no bankruptcy. By the act referred to, jurisdiction in matters of insolvency was conferred on certain judicial eflicers, who happened to sit in Basinghall-street, and also to exercise I jurisdiction in bankruptcy; but the act appeared to confer no I j urisdiction on the late Court of Review in such matters, nor could his honour therefore now exercise any. COURT OF QUEENS BENCH. Nisi Punk—Before lord Denman and a Special Jary. ALCOCg a. THE !LOYAL EXCHANGE ASSURANCE CON EANY.—SHIP INSURANCE.—This was an action to re cover the sum of 1,0001. on a p .licy of insurance, for the alleged total lots of the brig William Thompson, which ran aground about 70 miles west of Alexandria, on the night of 31st of July, 1843, and was abandoned by herceptain , a Mr. Young. The defendants denied the total loss, but admitted a partial loss, and had paid 4601. into court as compensation for the injury she had received. Mr. Watson, Q.C., with whom was Mr. Bramwell and Mr. H. Hill, were counsel for the plaintiff; and Sir F. Theedger, Q.C., Sir John Bayley, and Mr. Bovill, appeared for the defendants. From the evidence in this ease it appeared that the vessel the subject of the present action had been built at Sundirlend in 1840, and that she stool " A I" at Lloyd's for seven y. Cr,. She bad been engaged as a tradirg vessel in the Mediterranean, aad on the °made on which she was lost was laden with a cargo of cotton belong ing to his Highness the Peat& of Egypt. The original value of this vessel wan '-',7001., and ler owner had insured her in two sums—namely, for 1,0001. in the Royal Exchange Meows Company, and 8001. in another company. In support of the plaintiff's case it was alleged that Captain Young had done all that a prudent person could be required to do to save the vessel from beoocaing a total ,wreck, and that after the vessel had struck he went, accompanied by part of his crew, to Alexandria, to seek assistance from blehemet Ali, not only for the purpose of saving her wage of eaten, which belonged to the Paella, but to aid him is getting the vessel off, for that prince always gave assistance in such eases gratuitou-ly. On his arrival at Alexandria Captain Young went to the British consul, who applied to the Pachs, the result of which was that two steamers, the Nile and the Ilolek, with 70 Aribt, were sent to endeavour t get the William Thompson off, but 111Alle cc% tut ly , she being at the time embedded seven feet in the sand ; eed if any further arterapts had been made to release the vessel from her midi" they would have been attended with an immense expense, conseque .. tly the captain conic to the resolution of abandoning her. Accordingly he had her sold as a wreck kr about 1001. The state of the tree], as described by the various witnesses, was that her timbers were sprung and her back was " logged," and altogether she was in such a condition as to render it prudent to aban don her. On behalf of the defendants it was urged that Capt. Young had not properly exerted himself to get the ship off, that he was in a state of continual intoxication ; that she was subsequently got off by a party of the name of Scotto, who purchased her, end who repaired her for the 'mall sum of 411., and afterwards sold her at Leghorn for 6,500 dollars, since which she had been engaged in trade.—Witnesses were called in sopport of these statements, and they all proved that due exertion had not been made to save the ship.—Mr. Watson having replied on the part of the plaintiff, Lord Den man summed up, observing that the question for the cot eiders tinn of the jury was whether this was a total or reined lo,s. Mr. Maack, the owner, had no imputation of fraud made against him. It was also for them to say whether the cap tam had done all that the servant of a prudent uninsured owner ought to have done to get the ship off.—The jury then retired at a quarter to six, and returned into min at ten minutes to eight o'clock with a verdict for the defend ants, stating their opinion to be that the plaintiff had only sustained a partial loss. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. Lim Puce.—Before Slr P Peach, CB., awl a Special Jury. i STOOGE V. HALDEMAND.—MAISIN2 INSUVANCE —This was an action by the owner of a ship called the Esther, 1 againet one of the underwriters, upon a policy of insurance effected upon the ship for a fi.hing voyage to the South seas. The vessel was tiVed out is 1845 for a fishing voyage for the purpose of capturing sea elephants and seals. The ship went out accompanied by two vessels called " tenders " and arrived at an island edict] South Georgia, not far (von the Island of Desolation. She was moored safely in one of the harbour., and the two tenders leaving her there. eel oul, with the whale of the crew, to pursue their avLcations. After having been out for some weeks, the scurvy broke out amongst them, and, fu a hurricane, tho captain and live of the men were drowned. The others had suffered much from the effects of the disease which broke out amongst them; however, the survivors got back to Georgia and there they found the chip, on board which they stowed away 90 tons of oil and a quantity of seal-skins, the result of their labours. They then renewed their pursuits, having left one of the tenders with the Esther, but no person on board either. They remained away about five weeks, and at the end of that period returned to Georgia, when they discovered the Esther had disappeared, and no trace what. ever had since been found of Ler. After a fruitless seer.h fur the ship the crew set out again : they suffered much hard ship, when they met with a chip called the Isabella, which furnished them withstores and rendered every poasihie assist ance. They ultimately get ink. Rio. The answer to the action was, that the loss had not occurred by the perils of the sea, that the vessel might not have been lost at all fur aught that had appeared in evidence. And even if it was lost, it was the result of gross negligence en the part of the craw to leave her without any r mon upon board.—The Lord Chief Baron left it to the Jury to say whether they thought the ship wit. lost, and, if so, whether tke loss was caused by the ineecusab'e neglig.nce of the officers or crew in command 01 her.—The jary found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages, ' 3001., the amount underwritten for by him, but it was understood there were other claimants to the amount of some 5,0001. With this cots those sittings were terminated. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—CARLISLE, Fitn. 26. Mr. Baron Alderson and Mr. Baron Rolfe arrived in Car lisle yesterday from Appleby, and immediately wocceded to open the COMMiAllioo. PEW Ulef.---S0 La hack as the llth of October, 1833, a man earned Bernard Burns was murdered by the aide of the river Derwent, near Cockermouth, and five men, of whom the most remarkable were two named Nicholson, were tried at the Carßale Spring Assizes, 1831, before Lord Lyndhurst, for the murder. The principal witness in the trial was a woman of loose character residing in Cockermouth, who swore that at half-past two o'clock, a.m., on the 11th of October, she saw the murder committed by the pri soners, whilst she was crossing Derwent-bridge on her return home. The prisoners, in their defence, attempted to prove en alibi, and one of their witnesses, Edward Parkin', swore that he was in company with Margaret Thompson from 11 o'clock on the night of the 10th of October till 6 o'clock on the following morning; that they hal slept together ; that Thompson had never left the bed during the night, and could not therefore have been, as she had sworn she was, a witness to the murder. By rea son of the conflicting testimony the prisoners were acquitted. In 183.5, however, five of the witnesses for the defence were prosecuted for perjary, three of them were convicted and transported, two of them escaped before trial, one of whom has yet been heard of, but the other, Edward Parkins, mentioned above, returning to Cockermouth last year, was apprehended, and after • patient trial this morning was found guilty of perjury and sentenced to be transported for seven years.

Recorder, Cte.—The Recorder briefly charged the grand jury, who then retired, and the court proceeded to business. FALBEPIGE.TBNCES —lt. Bishop and J. Arnold careen deTed to take their trial upon a charge of obtaining money by false pretences from Messrs. Barclay and Co.-1 be fraud imputed to the defendants was of c of rather a singular character, and evinced considerable ingtt.uity. It was the custom of the firm who prosecuted. to make a charge upon their customers for the casks in which their beer was supplied, and when they were re stored, the nun so charged was refunded, the amount being 11. fora barrel and 13a. far a kilderkln, and tt teemed that • good may of the country customers were in the habit of ..ending their empty casks back tbrou4h the me dium of the Talbot and the New Inn hooking offices, in Old Chango and the Borough, where the defendant Arnold had been employed as porter, and he consia,motly was LI: ae. quainted with the mode of carrying on this branch- of the business of Messrs. Barclay. It teemed that in August last Bishop on two oecesions brought three casks to the brewery, and he at the same time produced a printed ticket, purport ing to came front the booking offices mentioned, on which a charge was movie for porterage, and the casks were repre sented to have been Sent by three customers named Phillips, Ottamav, and Elliott, and upon three representitions a sum of 21. 13s. was given to this defendant. It turned out hat the casks ware not lent by the persons named, and th. re was no evidence as to how the defendants got poems lion of the casks, but it was suggested that, as the prose cutors lost a great number every year, and by reason of their being branded with their name, it would be a dangerous ex periment to endeavour to dispose of them in the ordinary manner. That the ingenious expedient had been reser:ed to in the manner mentioned, of making the prosecutors pay for those casks, of the possession of which some dishonest per son had, in the first instance, improperly deprived them. In order to connect the other defendant, Arnold, with the trans action, it was shown that his writing was upon the ticket, and that he bad given it to Bishop, and he admitted that he afterwards received part of the money.—The jury, acting upon the impression that Bishop had been made the dupe of the other defendant, acquitted him, and returned a verdict of Guilty against Arnold.—He was sentenced to be im- prisoned for one year. THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 29, 1848. POLICE. v - .ESTERDAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A GANG or Brit- ] Robins, R. IVahh, and J. Dacia " known to the po li ce, were finally examined, charged with having broken into the Nest-street Intlipend,nt chapel, and stolen therefrom the silver sacramental serv i ce , iffy surplice, and other property. The burglary I took place on the morning of the 21th of this month. It was first discovered by Mary Ann Ward, a woman appointed to attend to the chapel. Information was conveyed to the police, and two constables were directed to make the requi site investigation. As soon as the constables had inspec•ed the chapel. and had made their observations as to the man ner in which the robbery had been effected, they at once suspected that Robins and his companions bad a hand in it. The constables kept watch about Robin's usual haunts, and in an hour they succeeded in inseam with him and three others coming down High.street. The con stables immediately seised Robins and Davis, end a despe rate fight commenced. The constables, however, succeeded in apprehending four men, the three prison( rs and another man, ‘.ho was afterwards discharged. In Robins' pockets two silver communion cups were found. In Davie's peters lien the reet of the plate was found. The coneables after wards proceeded to the lodgings of Hitting, 27, Compton street, and there they found two women in the r oam mew pied by Robins, who had been apparently employed in cutting up the surplice which had been taken from the chapel. The women were alto taken into custody, bat as there was nothing against them beyond the feet of finding the remnants of the surplice in tho room whore they were sitting, they were yesterday discharged. The plate very much battered was produced and identifi. d. The prisoners wets fully committed.—John Robins was eizein put to the bar charged with having committed a second burglary at the White Horse public-house, Castle-street. lie was also com mitted on this charge.

Mrs. Russell then went with him to look over the plate, part of which was in a cuphoerd and the remainder on a table in the pantry. It was correct with the exception of a dessert spoon subsequently found, and the accused then removed, as Mrs. Russell supposed, the silver which had been on the table into the cupboar.l, awl the door was bekell, without again examining whether it was correct. The pri soner again had his wages offered him, hut rawest to receive them, repeated big insolence, and refuse.' to leave the h o use. Mrs. Russell came to this court, and haying procured a' police constable, returned in about an hour and a ball t • the house. when she found the prisoner had absconded, and shortly afterwards the teapot and waiter were missed.

This has again been a day of extraordinary agita tion in the City and the stock market Four editions of the Daily News before three o'clock to-day, have administered to the utmost extent possible to the public anxiety for the latest and the fullest informa tion from Paris and France. A variety of all sorts of reports of an improbable or unauthenticated descrip tion have likewise been in circulation, or promulgated by the press. The Tinges, in a third edition, pub lished the extraordinary news, as ie crived by express from Portsmouth, where Laid to he received by " a telegraphic despatch (which) came down this morn ing " (from London of course), that " France had declared war with Austria, and sent off 80,000 sol diers." The news created some sensation at first, as passing from hand to hand, but by those by whom it came to be read the misapprehension of the first im pression, arising from the confusion of terms and place, was readily corrected. In the early part of the morning a perfect anarchy reigned on the Stock Exchange, and the prices of public securities were called so much at random that scarcely any two persons agreed in the same quota tions. Consols, however, may be said to have ranged, between the commencement and the close of business, from 814 to 83, and were marked on leaving off at the usual hour at 81 to 1 fur money, and 811 to 1 1 for ac count. After the regular hour prices went still lower, and Consols were done at 80, and called sellers at that rate. Reduced Threes, at the official closing time were marked 81 to 1. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 82 to I. The further fall of Consols after business hours would of course reduce the values of the Three and Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.

A report of the directors of the Exchange Bank of Scotland, embracing a review of its operations for the last year, appears to present a favourable state of affairs. Upon a paid up capital of 350,0001. the profits of the year are stated at 32,1141.; out of which, after setting aside 10,000!. in a "suspense ac count "—meaning, as may be supposed, the reserve fund—a dividend was declared at the rate of 6 p. r cent per annum, free of income tax, which absorbed the remainder of the amount, less a small balance of 4691., carried also to the reserved fund. Credit is taken, and, as it would seem not without some reason, for such satisfactory results of the busi pees of a year which, as truly observed, was one of " extraordinary difficulty," and "derangement of the monetary affairs of the country." The advances made by the bank on railway shares chiefly, and other secu rities to a smaller sum, had amounted during the year to nearly three quarters of a million sterling. Yet after, as may be inferred, and is indeed so said in terms, a fair valuation of the securities on hand, with a due allowance for casualties and contingencies, the directors assure the pro prietary that "there is not the slightest probabi- Btylif any ultimate loss being sustained by the Bank on more than four or five of the loans," and that even should a "considerable loss ultimately arise," it would bo "amply provided for by the 10,0001. already mentioned." As a general rule, advances had been invariably declined on the scrip of new lines, and rarely on any stocks but those of companies incorporated by act of par liament, whilst lower rates! of interest had been charged, in consideration of the borrowers acceding to a larger margin on the market I value of the securities to be loaned upon, by which so much greater safety was assured in the operations. As the securities declined in value, or calls had to be I paid, or loans to be renewed, so, also, the margin was rateably made up by the borrowers on each occasion. The credit obtained by the bank had told adran tegeously in the increase of deposits by the public for which 5 per cent. was allowed the depositors. The amount of deposits which, on the 31st of Dec., 1846, stood at 127,040/., had gradually advanced, until, on the Ist of this present month, they had attained to 381,2851. The accession of these deposits opened a larger field for the transactions of the bank. Its aggregate loans during the period of its existence, say two years and a quarter , appear to have amounted , to about two millions sterling. Its securities and other assets on hand on the 31st of December last are stated at 745,694/. The bank, it may be men tioned as a commendable feature of management, is neither a holder of, nor does it lend upon, its own stork. It may be observed that the class of operations embraced' by such joint-stock companies as this Exchange Bank has not been looked favourably upon in some quarters as Found or proper banking busi ness. These details, however, are simply presented for public information, and do not require the ex pression of any opinion on our part. The shares of nearly all the Scotch exchange and other banking companies have been materially affected within the compass of a year. The fall on 100/. value in shares of the exchange bank between the 25th of January, 1847, and the same date in 1848, was 151. 155., say from 1151. 15s. to par. The average fall upon the same amount of paid-rip capital in all other banks and exchange companies was 221. 18e. per cent. s h ares , seph 6J. Se. paid op, Se.
