Fl u ;; A/Wawa 0 ew e 11. 0.40. Menem 37 O. LONDON, TIIURSDAY, MAR. 2.' ir is with pain that we yield to the necessity of re mating in still more plain and distinct language a wlrning which we threw oat yesterday. The distin guished exiles whom a revolution is now casting upon our shores, who have experienced so sudden and over whelming a reverse of fortune, are one and all of them entitled to as kind and warm a reception as friends and relations can afford them. But there is an osten tatious search after publicity in the empressement with which they are welcomed, and in the mixing up of parties holding high and responsible stations with their reception,that cannot be too earnestly deprecated. France, to all appearance, has resolved to try the experiment of a republican government. Whether wisely or not is no concern of any but Frenchmen, who have an undoubted right to make their own do mestic arrangements without any interference from abroad. Now it is well known that the European aristocracies and crowned heads are extremely averse to the experiment having a fair trial. They affect to fear (and in part, perhaps, do fear) that a republican policy, so far as they are concerned, must be aggres sive ; and in their heart of hearts they deprecate the success of the experiment, lest it should stir imita tive propensities nearer home. Past experience has taught the French people to dread the secret, even more than the avowed, hostility of this section of European society. In this temper the French people, looking to London, see here assembled :—First, French diploma tists appointed by the superseded dynasty, who have refused to serve tile republic and resigned their situa tions ; second, the ambassador of the King of the Belgians, a monarch allied by the closest ties of affinity to the exiled dynasty and to the English royal family. The French people see those members of their late royal family, who have arrived here, warmly welcomed at the French embassy ; and when it resigns, eagerly received by the Belgian embassy. They see, moreover, the elite of the English nobility hastening to pay their respects to the distinguished exiles, and, conspicuous amongst these visitors, minis ters of the crown and members of our own royal family. They hear, moreover, of royal equipages put in requisition for the service of the remainder of the exiles as they may in succession reach our shores. Let the people of this country imagine themselves for a moment in the position of the French nation, having its experience of the rancour with which the Euro pean aristocracy regards its liberties, and ask themselves, how they would feel on witnessing the counterpart of these proceedings in Paris. W. will not sußpeet that there is any intention to make London the Coblenz of a new I rench emigra tion. It is scarcely to be conceived that men at all acquainted with the world should fancy it possible that even such an emigration as rallied round the French princes at the close of last century (feeble and frivolous though it proved) can be expected to link their fates with those of the ORLEANS dynasty. But, in respect to such a foolish game, the Court of England and the statesmen who sway the councils of England, ought to be, like C.ESAR'S wife, above suspi cion. It is not true sympathy, but vanity and ambi tion, that seek the notoriety which has provoked these remarks. Let there be as much epanchement du cocur as possible where real affection exists ; but let it be in private. Relegate the exiles quickly, and without loss of time, to some seclusion befitting their sad fortunes, like that of Holyrood, which received CHARLES X. and his family. We respect the sacred family affections in a palace as mach as anywhere else ; but they who represent and wield the destinies of nations must control their emotions when the hap piness of millions of domestic hearths may be endan gered by their indulgence. The late royal family of France are royal no longer : it would be wanton in sult to the nation which has rejected them, to desig nate them or treat them as each. WE have never been able to recal the story of HE RODOTUS reading hie history to the assembled Greeks at the Olympic games, without feeling a profound respect for the patience of that classical audience. But the patience of the old Greeks is as nothing to that of the British House of Commons. They were not, after listening to HERODOTUS for one mortal day, "from morn till dewy eve," called upon to devote another to hearing a critic review the work in an article as long as itself. But our House of Commons has borne the infliction of Mr. ANSTEY, the historian, of Lord PALMERSTON, the reviewer, and appears, with some reluctance it is true, to be screwing up its courage to listen to a sac cession of ispeekers on the same theme, as in definite in point of number as Ban quo's issue shown in the mystic glass. This is not all : had the news of Marathon reached Olympia while the historian was telling his old-world stories, it may be ques tioned whether his audience would have stuck to him; but Lord PALMERSTON'S critique on Mr. ANSTEY'S antiquities of diplomacy was heard to an end by men anxious to learn the newest news of the French revolution actually in progress. It is only by taking the epithet with considerable latitude that Mr. ANSTEY can be called an historian. He is more of an historical novelist. The incidents of European history which he has selected to garnish his tale, and the Lord PALMERSTON who figures as his hero, have about es much resemblance to the realities as one of JAstEs's historical romances. There was an inveterate earnestness of will, and a degree of logical sequence about the manner in which Mr. ANSTEY dealt with his assumptions, that would have imparted to hie narrative a most deceptive vraisemblance, could one have banished the real facts from memory. It reads like the production of an impassioned mind endowed with high ratiocinative powers, but receiving all the impressions it works upon through a diseased and deluding perceptive faculty. It is reason laboriously comparing, arranging, and piling up heaps of the most improbable fictions. Mr. ANsTEY has heard here the statement of some Ger man patriot who believes in the phantasmagoria which flash across his fancy under the narcotic influence of the pipe ; there the deliberate swagger and lie of one of those omnipresent busybodies who rejoiced for merly in the designation of " voyageurs pour la maison LAFAYETTE ;" and again, of some exasperated and credulous Polish exile. He has taken all these and many more such for gospel, and succeeded in elicit from the confused and contradictory whole a plau sible story, as devoid of foundation as the specious histories 'which some bookworms have made out of Grecian mythology, by the process of evaporating all the passion and poetry. If the House of Commons have a taste for such fanciful perversions of history, and leisure to indulge in them, why do they not, in the name of good taste, in _ the SPEAKER to read " Coningeby," " Marston Hall," or the " Leaguer of Boston" aloud to them ? Any one of these, it is no flattery to say, would be more amusing than the ponderous figments of Mr. ANSTEY, Should the fashion of devoting Wednes day in the house, as a holiday, to readings from the historical novelists take, it might in time render the members conversant with one branch of English literature. Each might give his favourite in turn. Sir ROBERT INGLIS might read Fath n e o r ei ttacv ; Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN ORO of SANDI'S • Mr. BRIGHT some of Miss MARTINEAU'S " Illustr ations of Political Economy;" while the LORD ADVOCATE might give Connseller PLEYDELL, and the junior member for Glasgow Bailie NICOL DAVIE with the true intonation. " What could induce Lord PALMERSTON to pay such trash the compliment of a reply ?" is pretty generally asked. Possibly his lordship, feeling some misgivings as to the results of a serious and beusible examination into some passages of his diplomatic career, may have thought it expedient to obtain be forehand the prestige of victory over one accuser—a result of which there could be little doubt when Mr. ANSTEY or Mr. URQUHART was the accuser. THE REPUBLIC OF FRANCE. We have received oar intelligence from Paris of Tuesday's date. Paris then continued tranquil, and business had everywhere been resumed. All the Marshals of France have followed the example of Bugeaud, and only three generals have as yet not sent in their ad hesion. - - ------- The De'bats continues to exhort union and to sup port the new government. Confidence has revived everywhere • the premium on gold has fallen from a hundred to forty ; and the drafts on the savings banks were not greater than usual. The .Echo des Holies announces a fall of grain on all the markets, and especially those supplying Paris. The syndics of Paris had, in consequence of the fall, published an announcement of the reduction of the price of bread. Money was everywhere abundant, and the deposits at the bank continued to increase. Confidence was further shown by the return to Paris of many of the frightened foreigners. The American minister delivered a cordial address to the provisional . government, which has been answered in a most friendly tone by MM. Arago and Dupont de L'Eure. His Excellency delivered the following address: GENTLIMEN,—As the representative of the United States, entrusted with the interests and the rights of my fellow-citi zens residing in France, and at too great a distance to wait for instructions, I seize the first opportunity of offering you my csngratulations, convinced that my government will sanction the step in which I take the initiative. Nor must I omit to inform you that the memory of the alliance and old friendship which have existed between France and the United States is still alive, and in full force amongst us. I am well convinced that one universal powerful cry will be raised in my country to wish France prosperity, happiness, and glory under the empire of those institutions she is now lay ing down, waiting the ratification of the public will. Every American will Lel the ardent hope that, thanks to the prudent wisdom of France, these institutions will secure to the human species those ham results of which the magnanimous conduct of the nation in the late events is a certain pledge. It is under the empire of similar institu tutiona that the United States have enjoyed for now seventy years a state of increasing prosperity, with a government of uniform stability ; and if the Union invariably leaves to other nations the choice of their form of government, she will naturally congratulate herself on seeing this great na tion flourish under those very institutions which have n eared to herself social order and public liberty. Allow me, gentlemen, to employ those words which the great Washington, the immortal founder of our republic, made use of on an occasion similar to this; and to terminate this address by adding to my congratulations the fervent hope that "the friendship of the two Republics will be equal to their duration." M. Arago replied that the members of the pro visional government received without surprise, but with heartfelt pleasure, the assurances of the senti ments expressed by the ambassador of the United States • that France expected no less from an ally with Whom she draws still closer the ties of friendship by the proclamation of the republic. " The provi sional government," he continued, " returns you thanks for the wishes you have expressed for the grandeur and for the prosperity of France. He is pleased, like yourself; to respect the words of Wash ington, and he has the firm confidence that these words will not be merely a wish, but will prove a reality." M. Dupont (de l'Eure), then drawing near the am baasador, said : " Allow me, sir, in offering to you the hand of friendship to pers uade you that the French people likewise presses the hand of the American people." M. H. Hull was accompanied by M. Martin, first secretary to the embassy, and by Major Poussin. When these gentlemen withdrew, the guard presented arms, and the cries of " Long live the republic of the United States," saluted the ambassador. The religious party adheres, and M. Montalembert has published a manifesto to t hat effect. The courts of appeal have published proclamations for the arrest of M. Guizot and Duchatel, wherever they could be found. Intelligence has been received from Madrid to the 23rd. The greatest alarm prevailed respecting the Guizot ministry. The Boles was flat, and showed a tendency to de cline. Threes from 281, to 29. From Vienna, under date of the 23rd, we learn that owing to the monetary and political crisis now pend ing in Austria, the imperial family have, from their private property, placed the sum of 100,030,000 florins at the disposal of the Minister of Finance. The house of Este alone advanced 30,000,000 of this sum. A heavy decline is visible in the Ger man funds. MADRID Fes 22. Reports have been received from Malaga of an earthquake at Melilla. The first shock was felt at' half-past one a.m. on the 14th. People were shaken out of their beds, and many families rushed from their dwellings late the streets. A second shock, occurring shortly after, emptied the houses of their inmates, and all those features of consternation which accompany such terrible visitations prevailed among the crowd. la the morning the church was found with rent walls, and two breaches of six or seven yards wide appeared in the walls of the fort, an accident the more unlucky as the place was then beset by Moors, who, on the night of the 12th, had kept up continual fire upon the fortifications. Three slight shocks occurred afterwards, and were succeeded by a hurricane. Roe de Olano sailed from Malaga for his African govern ment on the 12th. Four batteries have been constructed on the Jafarine isles, called (the batteries) by the names of the four vessels that landed the troops—Piles, Vulcan, Isabel 11., and La Fifths. The troops there are greatly incommoded for want of water. A cabinet council was held on Sunday night after the re ceipt of • telegraphic despatch from France. The news flew about that Outzot bad fallen. The Faro says that !imparter" has applied to the govern. mint for some arrears of pay due to him while regent. It reminds its readers that the general got 25,000 dollars on this account from Salamanca's government, and at present receives his pay as captain-general. The Cs bectim °rise; Uarlist commander in Tarragona, was discovered in the mountain of Valldosera, near Sarreel, on the 14th, and shot by the soldiers, while Making of. BRUSSELS, FEB. 29. The Independence (ministerial print) of this morn ing confirms the intelligence which, some two or three days ago, I was enabled to send you respecting the determina tion of the government to take military measures for pre serving the Belgian territory inviolate ; in other words, for preventing any invasion of the Belgian soil by rash and im prudent pungens of the young and promising French re public. Yesterday and this day the streets were filled with recruits, who have been ordered up to Brussels with the view of drafting them into regiments intended for the frontiers. In the hastily written postscript to yesterday's letter I had no time to add that amongst the 40 individuals arrested in Brussels on the preceding night, the majority were German, French, sad Italian refugees, connected with some socialist associations in this country. The Moniteur, of this morning, publishes an official ac , count of the important proceedings yesterday in the Chain her of Representatives, a brief returtsi of which I forwarded I tam night. They are of a nature to excuse a few more words respecting them. The minister of the interior, after stating that he had to make a communication on the part of the government (an announcement which at once ened the attention not only of the house, but also of the very numerous persons assembled is the public and re served tribunes) proceeded to read a project of law for ex tending the franchise, by giving a vote to every individual who pays taxes to the annual amount of 42 f. 32 c. (about 11. 13s. 6d.) This somewhat sweeping measure —one, however, quite in the spirit of the times-- will add (as I am informed in a goo t quarter) some 70,000 individuals to the list of electors. As soon as the bill was announced, the President of the Chamber observed, that it was urgent to discuss it as speedily as possible. It was then referred to the sections. After the Minister of Finance had stated that the respective budgets for the year 1849 would, taken altogether, be less by 1,653,990 f. than those of the year 1846, M. Delehaye called the atten tion of the government to " another measure as warmly desired as the one just announced, vit., parliamentary re form. Recent events in a neighbouring country (added the speaker) prove to us the national representation cannot be too independent of the government."—The Minister of the TIE EXPRESS, THURSDAY Interior plies gied the the cabinet was not poried to a mei, sure deelsr that state functionaries should have no seats in the chambers. He was convinced that no ooe in that house had say interest in plashing the government beyond , certain limits. The shambers (he trusted) would support I the cabinet in the prudent and progressive course in which it continued to walk. (Cheers.) M. &biome observed that a great number of the members of the chamber of representatives had declared in favour of a comprehensive system of parliamentary reform. He begged the minister to pay particular attention to the reports issued on that subject by the sections.—After a few words from M. de Tor naco, lad rectly colouring the project of law as a too hasty if not a too sweeping measure, the house broke up. Yester day the Senate discussed two other projects, embodying popular concessions. A brief account of them will be given in a future communication. P.S. The government, anxious to make further °once, sions, has brought forward this afternoon a bill for extending the franchise in the election of the municipal councils. The two great liberal associations of Brussels, and even the radi cal one, are displaying much moderation and true patriotism. FLIGHT OF LOUIS PHILLIPE, HIS FAMILY, AND CABINET The French journals continue to supply various particulars of interest relating to the precipitate flight of the fallen government on Thursday and Friday. The fol lowing selection will be read with interest: The flight of Louis Philippe was marked by an incident which is too much to the honour of our population for us not to receive it eagerly. At the very moment the rx King was making his escape from the Tuileries by the postern f the pontiournant to join the small carriage which was in Atendence for him, he was surrounded by . the people who crowded on his passage. The 2nd Reg iment of the Cuirassiers, which was stationed on the Place de Is Concorde, Neatened to protect his escape; but in the situation of affairs it was utterly unable to protect him from the revenge of the people. However, the soldiers of this regiment, who neither did nor would make use of their arms, did their utmost to open a passage for him. An officer, on seeing the peril in which Louis Philippe was placed, exclaimed, " Gentlemen, spare the King!" Upon which • stentorian voice, issuing from the crowd, was heard to reply, " We are not assassins! let him depart!" " Yes, yes, let hint depart! let him de part!" became the general cry. The people had been too brave during the combat not to be generous after the victory. On his arrival at Versailles, Louis Philippe and his family finding no post horses, were under the necessity of demand ing horses of a regiment of cavalry. His flight had been so rapid, and so unforeseen, that it was necessary at Trianon to make a kind of oollecttioo, which produced 200 francs; itfwas with this sum he set off on his journey to Eu. We hear from Dreux that the ex-King and his family Id this town on the 23rd, at nine in the morning. In order to conceal their departure, the footman, who was mated on the box, had taken off his livery, and put on • riding coat and other articles of wearing apparel, bought two hours before. The sub-prefect was waiting for the carriage on its coming out of the town, and took his place on the box by the aide of the footman. The gen darmes of St. Andre, having demanded at the post-inn of their locality who were the persons in the carriage, the sub prefect alighted from the box, said a few words to him in a whisper, and the gendarmes immedisiely withdrew. A letter from Dieppe, dated Saturday, states that the Duchess of Orleans and the two young princes, her sons, had arrived in that town, with the intention of embarking: for England. The Mode says :—" M. Guizot escaped on Wednesday evening from his hotel by a back-door, and set out in a cabinet-courier caleche for Calais, where he has, it is supposed, embarked for London. The same evening, M. Delessert left the Prefecture of Police in disguise. About ten o'clock, the name night, M. Hebert quitted the chancellery by the door of the Rue Heusi: du Luxembourg. He sent several times to the Etat-Major and to the ch4teau to demand a reinforcement of troops. He complained, both in his own name and in; that of MM. Duchatel and Guizot, of having been se gravely led into error by the Minister of War and General Sebastiaii as to the feeling of the army. The ministers loudly attributed to Louis Philippe the re sponsibility of all the meuutes of rigour which had been ..leveed.' ARRIVAL OF THE DUCHESS DE NEMOURS AND THE DUKE pi MONTPENSIER. The anxiety which has been so generally felt as to the fate of the ex-royal family of France is fortunately at an end, in se far as regards the Duchess de Nemours, with her youthful family, and the Duke de Montpensier ; their royal highnesses having arrived at Southampton at an early hour yesterday morning. A special messenger was im mediately despatched to London, conveying the intelli gence of the fact, and two gentleman attached to the French and Belgian Legations were deputed to go to Southampton and conduct their royal highnesses to town. The Duke de Nemours and the Duchess de bdontpensier remained at the residence of the Behrian Legation until nearly five o'clock last evening, at which time they left town for East Sheen, where they will occupy the villa belonging to Mr. Bates (father-in-law of his Excellency M. Van de Weyer). We may announce, on authority, that it was the Duchess of Nemours and her two children, with the Duke de Mont pensier, who arrived at Jersey, and not the Duchess of Or leans. It is stated that M. Ouizot was not with the royal fugitives who reached that island. With respect to the fate of Louis Philippe and his Queen not a word of authentic information Itaa yet been received. Great hope is however entertained, from the length of time which has elapsed since the ex King was heard of, that he is with the Queen quietly awaiting on the French coast a favourable opportunity of crossing the Channel. Madame Ouizot, the venerable mother of the ex-minister, whe is an octogenarian, and his two daughters arrived in Lon'on yesterday. It is said on good authority that Claremont. the seat of his Majesty the King of the Belgians, has been prepared for the reception of the ex-royal family. COLONIAL. NEW ZEALAND.—We have received Wellington papers to the 15th of September. The only items of interest are the following : The schooner Governor Grey, Saylor, master, arrived in port on Monday, Dons Wanganui. The rebels had not made their appear , and things remained in stair go,. Dr. Wilson had proceeded overland to Taranaki, and Mr. Wilke, together with some other set tlers, contemplated making that settlement their place of abode. Capt. lienderron, HA., and Lieut. Colllnnin, LH, had started to walk to New Plymouth. Their object wee not known, but was sur mised to be either fur the purpose of selecting • site for a stockade, or else to plan out a village fur a corps of the Feruilbles. We have every roma to believe that a large body of pensioner. will be located at Taranaki. Ibt court. THE LEVEE. Prince Albert held a levee by deem of the Queen yesterday afternoon, at two o'clock, in St. James's Palace, on behalf of her Majesty.

Yesterday the annual meeting of proprietors was held, at the bank in Lothbury. Mr. Aid. SALAMONB presided, and opened the proceedings by stating the business which they had to triumact,which was, to receive the report of the directors, to confirm the election of Mr. De Vitre and Mr. O. Hanson in the room of Mr. Rennie and Sir J. Kirkland, whose retirement the board had to regret, and to elect threw directors retiring by rotation, but who were eligible for re-election. Mr. FAIRLAND, the Secretary, then read the report, which was to the following effect , The directors have the pleasure to commence their fourteenth annual revert with stating that. with the exception of out-standing Instalments, amounting to 3,2731., the paid-up capital of the bank Is now one million sterling. The remaining ten thousand thaws were booed at par to the proprietors, in tee manner announced at the het general meethig. The events of the pad year have shown the pro priety of tilts mann. The profit. of the past year, alter defraying the total expense of the estabmt, making allowance for all bed and doubtful debts, and paying the income tax, amount to 58,2231.45. Wei. Out of these Profits the directors paid lust Septem ber • dividend, at the rate of six per cart per annum, on the paid-up capital of 8-0,0001. for the half-yeer ending the 30th Jane, tad they now declare a dividend at the same rate upon the inffewM capital of LOOO,OOOl. for the half-year ending the 31st December. After the pay meet of these dividends, making together 34,0002, there will remain out of the profits of the rear a eurplus of 4,223/. ga. led., to be added to the reserved food, which will then amount to 100,6471. 16a. 11d. From the severe pressure on the money market Mien the latter part of the year it wan deemed advisable to retiree some portion of our government securities, and although the profits of the year have consequently been curtailed, yet the directors feel assured that the liberality which they were thus enabled to exercise toward, its customers, will tend to the advantage of the bank. The whole of the stock that was sold has since been mimed. The direc tors have further to announce the resignation of M. B. Rennie, Esq., and they have to regret the retirement of Sir J. Kirkland. The weancies thus occasioned to the board have been supplied by the election of J. D. de \lire, Eeq., and of G. Hanson, ram, subject to the confirmatioe of the present meeting. The three directors who go out by rotation this year are F. Burmester, Eeq., C. Gibbed, Eeq., and Ft. Kerrey, Esq., who, being eligible, offer themselves foe re election.

The CHAIRMAN in mowing the adoption of the report said he wished particularly to explain one portion of it. Judging from the high rate of interest which prevailed during the put year, many persons bad doubtlesa expected that the directors would have been able to declare a bonus in addi tion to the usual dividend of 61. per cent. He was not sur prised that such an expectation should have existed, and up to the month of October last it had been shared by himself and his colleagues. But during the period of difficulty, which he might well call the week of terror, that prevailed, the directors had considered it desirable for the general in termit of the bank to realise a portion of their funded capital. The anxiety of the directors during the period of pressure was that the distresses of those customers who withdrew their accounts should not operate injuriously on those who desired aseommodation. The principle on which the hank had been conducted was, to have its whole capital invested is government securities. Times bad before arisen when they thought it cemetery to borrow on such securities, but, strange to say, in the pre sent ease they were the very worst of any. The great house over the wv: h the u old ir lady lls or —had even d nothing nui to rr ' egre eith tt er ed u ro m say that the difficulty w to which he ed an alluded had entailed upon the bank a loss of 20,0001, or within • trifle of it ; and the fund which would otherwise have been divided as a bonus among the proprietors had been appro priated to replacing that loss. He trusted that the proprie tors would see the policy of a great bank like theirs always maintaining a large amount of funded security, which was the best security they could have against any impru dence en the part of the directors, or against • period of commercial difficulty. He trusted, there fore, that they would approve of the course which the directors had adopted. It might certainly be asked why they should charge the whole 20,0001. to the losses of last year ? They might certainly have pursued • more boasting course by opening • contingent fund, to be repaid annually ; but, he asked, would that have been a fair and honest course of proceeding, although it might have been more gratify ing to the proprietors, and have earned for the directors a kind of ephemeral popularity ? With respect to the " clear ' ing " system, be considered it was now time, when they found that heavy loss was entailed upon them for the want of it, that it should be brought forward as • great public question affecting the interest not only of the bank but of the commercial community of the country. A better time for mooting the question could not be found than the pre . sent, when the attention of the public was directed to the monetary interests of the conntry at large. He would con elude by expressing his hope that the public would soon be convinced that all jealousy existing between private and joint-stock companies with respect to the " clearing " system might speedily cease. On the motion being put for the adoption of the report, Mr. Mawnaimy minds qasstionwithregart to the report cir emitted an the 3rd of March, 1847, that a sum of 4,6001. bad bissairatad by the proprietors u a remuneration to the bowl of directors, which, they being only thirteen in num herweall give to each director nearly 3001. a year. TM Owaranast said he believed that 2.0001. were hut year sided to the sus given to the directory ; the realltnera dal which they were new receiving amounted to the BUM dated. A convenation ensued, in the course of whisk is was suggested, that for the future minutes should be kept of the mutual meetings of proprietors, as it spruced that no record was preserved of the proceedings on thou occasions.—The Chairman acquiesced in the propriety of such a regulation, and said that the omission should be rectified. . . . • Mr. Tin wished to know the circumstances which had led to the loss of one of their customers—the Eastern Coun ties Railway Company, which was said to have been caused by the conduct of the bank.—The Chairman regretted that he could not answer the question, as the members of the board were bound to **emu in respect to the concerns of its customers. He could only say he was sorry for what had occurred. He feared there was something of pre cipitation in the matter, which he considered too small in itself to be a cause of reflection, either on the Eastern Counti. s Railway Company or on the bank. There had been something of an irregularity on the part of the railway company, hut when the im portance and value of that company was taken into con sideration he thought it was to be regretted that their cheque had not been cashed. He hoped, however, to see the Eastern Counties Railway again among the customers of the bank. and the unpleasantness forgotten. He wished u, take that opportunity of stating that the capital of the bank had been completed, the reserve fund increased, and that they were now in a state of considerable presperity. Al for the subject of clearing it had now become a public right, and public measures ought to be taken to secure to joint-stock hanks a privilege which was now only enjoyed by private bankers. The subject of half-yearly meetings was one in which the directors would be guided by the opinion of the proprietors. they now met at the period set forth in their deed. Mr.MAWDE6LY was of opinion that the dividend meeting should take place in January instead of March, and that the report and accounts should be circulated among the proprie tors a week beforehand. He was also of opinion that, in consequence of what bad taken place at the Bank of Liver pool, a resolution should be passed, refusing to afford ars commodation to the friends or relatives of tie director+ or manager, unless they had adequate cover in the hand' of the bank for the advances made to them. The CHAIRMAN considered it would be inconvenient to hasten the meetings ; and the reason the report was not pre viously circulated was to prevent any traffic from taking place in shares. The accounts were to be seen iu the secre tary's office. He considered that their circulation before the period of meeting would be a most injudicious! proceeding . . With regard to a suggestion that no money should •be ad vanced on mines or colonial or home produce, he said it would be very desirable that such should be the case. He thought, with reference to Mr. Mawdesly's suggestion. that the question of the security on which money ought to be advanced should be left to the directors. The report was then adopted. A resolution was then moved by Mr. Witiour, embodying the substance of his suggestions, namely, that the board of directors be recomm•nded to call half-yearly meetings ; to cause the dividend nr etinga to be held as early in the year as poesible ; and to direct that at each general meeting the minutes of the previous meeting should be read. The reso lution was carried ; and was followed by the confirmation to their seats at the board of the two gentlemen elected by the directors, and the reelection of Mr. Burmester. Mr. Gibes, and Mr. Harvey, the directors retiring by rotation. Some complimentary votes concluded the procedings. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Fl.ll. D. The intelligence from France is devoured here with the greatest avidity. Johnston's News-office on the quay is beset with multitudes, who discuss with equal gusto and originality the striking deeds of the young republic. Beyond that harmless excitement there are no apparent symptoms of a tendency to disorder. At the Repeal Association yesterday, the manifestation of feeling was only a little more marked than on former occasions, whilst on the coin , mittee of the same body, a smart discussion took place as to the real character of the French movement. Opinion was divided as to its moral or physical force nature, and the Old Ireland party proved most con clusively that barricades and Girondin chaunts, and the other phenomena of revolution, were only moral arms whereby a dynasty was overthrown, and a democratic republic established on its ruins. Sym pathy with the gallant French nation is not unreason able. The corporation received, without approval or otherwise, notice of g motion to present a congratula tory address. Roscrea has illuminated amid music and rejoicing. Various letters appear in the public journals de manding an expression of sympathy. The lameness of the Young Ireland party, and the singular neglect of both their organs on Saturday by the purchasing population, are somewhat remarkable, and not lees significant the silence of the sword folk on the hust ings of Waterford. This is the subject of general com ment, and the cause is ascribed to various motives ; bat the real cause appears to be a prudent circum spection. The military appeared in the street/ to-day, wear ing their side-arms. Since the Clontarf meeting this has not oecurred in Ireland. The Waterford poll is taken to-day. All parties are confident of success, and boast of a considerable majority. The contest, however, will be sufficiently close, and I should not be surprised if Sir H. W. Bar ron should beat both opponents. His committee state that 250 whigs and conservatives, with 120 rcpealers, have promised to vote for him ; arid this aggregate is nearly one half of the available constituency, which does not amount to 800. One-tenth of the entire police force of Ireland is stationed in the county of Limerick—hard upon one thousand. PROVINCIAL. REFORM THE Tears.-Our Li v erpool correspondent says, " A petition is being got up here preying the legisla ture to reduce the income tax to 2i per cent., to levy a tax of 4 per cent. on real property for 12 months, and to impose a probate and property tax." THE REPREEENTATION OF YARMOTITII.—TWO can didates are in the field soliciting the suffrages of the eleeurs —Mr. Goldsmid, a liberal, and Mr. Lacoo, a tory bar.lc,r. The local paper says, " It is very doubtful, in well-inforir.ed circles, whether Yarmouth will have two members when the freemen are disfranchised." CHESHIRE. CHESTER TOWN COUNCIL—A special meeting of the Chester town council was convened at the Exchange on Monday last, for the purpose of agreeing to an address to he presented to the lord bishop of the diocese, os his tlerati:s to the archiepiscopal see of Canterbury. Nearly all the council, as well as the magistrates, who had been invited by the mayor to take part in the proceedings, were present.— The town-clerk then read the address, which was as follows : TO THE RIGHT REV. 7115 LORD !WOOF OF Tent Maine or Cilrsl , ll.

Given under the Corporate Seal of the City of Meath, this 25th February, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and forty-eight. The council and magistrates then proceeded in state to the palace, preceded by the police force and the civic regalia. On arriving there, the mayor briefly repeated the sentiments which he had expressed in the council ; and then presented the address to his lordship. The bishop, co receiving the address., spoke as follows Ma. Maros ARE.
