THE ENGLISH JOINT STOCK BANK (LIMITED). (THIS DAY.) Thin afternoon the half-yearly meeting of the above bask was held at the London Tavern, Captain leacrie io the chair. The directors in their report express their confidence that the progress of the bank continues thoroughly satisfactory. At the last general meeting the im portaoce and advantage of transacting their own London business was pressed by the shareholders, and the directors being fully convinced of the wisdom of such a course, have acquired the old established business of Messrs. Olding, Osborne, and Co. This step, the directors are satisfied, will realise all they desire, but the pe riod since the transaction was completed being so abort, no special results can fairly be presented. The Bideford Beek (Mews Harding and Co.) was token on the let July, and the Nottingham Bank (Messrs. Hart, Fellows, and Co.) on the latSeptamber. The connexion thus acquired has proved highly advantageous. The gross profit for the ha f-year (Iseluding the premium oo new shares) is 46,4371. 7a. 31 , and after deducting therefrom interest paid to customers oe deposit and current accounts, carrel:it expenses, rebate on bills, andprovidiog for bail debt., the directors recommend the isms dividend as heretofore, namely, at the rate of 6 per oak per annum; that 3,6881.25. be written off preliminary expenses and scot of banks and new branches—being at the ate of 10 per cent. per annum on these 'scout& ; sad that 5,0001. be added to the reserve sued. This will leave 4,1801. 3a. od. to be carried forward to profit and loss new amount, being rebate on bills 1,9391. 17s. 5d., and balance 2,2231. 6s. 4d. The CHAIRMAN, in noising the adoption of the report, said the late call having been due the 21th of Jan. only about Base or four thousand pouuda remained unpaid—a very satisfactory feature in the concern. While there was a fair dividend, and a considerable amount carried forward, the rebate of bills was at the rate of 7 per Cent The profits were 46,000/. aphid 17,000/. in the preceding half year. After remerking on other items in order to show the general improvement which had w owed, be added that there was nearly another divi dead in band. There were now 31 branches and four agencies, end the number of shareholders was about 600. They Lai, in fact. plenty of capital and far P!ofits, and the London and County Bank having just divided 27 per c nt. foe the year, he saw no reason what ever why this company should not some day have an &lull, good return. A Smairetiottina inquired whether there was any serious lore at any of the branches. It bad been rumoured that there was a lose at Aldershott. The CHAIRMAN replied that there bad been a loss ideas the 31st of December, but it was not one which would in terfere with:dieideode or the future prosperity of the bank. A SHAREHOLDHR asked what was the amount of loss. The CHAIRMAN thought it best not to state that, but soared the meeting that the loss was not serious. After a short conversation the report was adopted, and a &Mead at the rate of 6 per cont per annum, free of in sane tax, was declared. round and solicit orders, to take mosey for goods, and to ' mount for the money he received every day, but if crefbt was given to the customers than he was to account once a m oth.

On the case being called on the complainant, John Hod son, s t e pped into the witness box and exhibited a mysterious wilder article half hat and half lantern. Mr. Knox said the defendant was charged with damaging e het. The complainant said it was s hat used for exhibiting nlomina advertisements, a light being placed in it at sight-time„ and then went on to say that on the previous night, while standing at the door of the club, the defendant mune up to him, and struck him a violent blow with his umbrells on the top of his bat. He was stunned for a moment from the effect of the blow. He by direction of Mr. Brookes, his employer, gave the defendant sate cuetody. The defendant said he had no questions to est.

He had offered to pay for the hit. Mr. Knox said that because a man bad a iidiculous thing on his head that was no reason why he should be moulted. He should fine the defendant 405., or in default 14 days. THAMES. EXPLANATION. Mr. &Heath, the proprietor of the Express Coffee and Chop House, No. 17, Weston-place, corner of Weston street, King's-cross, waited upon Mr. Paget to render an explanation and contradiction of a statement made by a soldier named William Thompson, • corporal in the 89th regiment. The soldier's statement in effect was that he wan m ods drunk in Mr. Heath's house and conveyed by a touter from there to an emigration office on Tower-hill, and these induced to part with all his money, 271., for a peasags for himself, Caroline Smith, and Sarah Smith, her daughter, and that 151. was to be paid to him in New York. He was in • state of unconsciousocee when he paid the money. He also paid 4L 2s. 6d. to /dr. Heath, who, he alleged, wee in some measure a party to the intended shipment of himself sad the woman and her daughter to New York. Mr. Heath said he kept a respectable and well-conducted establishment, always held in goad repute, and that the soldier's statement, so far u he (Mr. Heath) was concerned, was false and exaggerated. The soldier came to the Ex press coffee-house as an ordinary customer on the 21st or 22nd of January, and remained there two night, and two days. On the second day he introduced a young woman, who he said was his wife, end with whom he intended to proceed to New York. The soldier, ea leaving, paid him 10s. 6d. for hie board and lodging and refreshment for the young woman said to be his wife. While Thompson was staying with him he borrowed 34 on one occasion, and 4*. on another, and gave him an order on Viney and Co., emigration aeon* of Tower-hill, for the money, and it was repaid. If. made so charge on his lodger beyond the half guinea for board and lodging. He did not employ any touter or out-door agents. He wan not aware Thompson wee a soldier until he read the report in the newspapers this morning, and he never wore any regimentals in the Express ooffes.house, cod was never intoxicated there. Mr. Heath, in conclusion, said that he would be the last man to encourage • soldier to desert his regiment and leave the country, sod that he hoped the press, which bad given such extensive publicity to the statements of Thompson, would give equal publicity to his explanation. Mr. Paget thought the explanation of Mr. Heath was per fectly satisfactory, and he had so doubt the statement would obtain publication in the same journals which had given currency to Thompson's evidence. •BSAULTIG ♦ FOLICIMAN. Michael O'Sullivan, a 'rotated looking man as far se dirt and dissipation could make him, was brought before Mr.B3 B Paget charged with violently ass aulting police-constable 1. _ _ The complainant stated that he forma the prisoner lying on the stones dead drank and asleep. He raised him from the groond, and intended to take care of him. The first thing the prisoner did was to seize his bend and to bite it. He exhibited his band. The prisoner also kicked him oa the chest, and was exceedingly violent before he was seemed. The pawner, in his defence, said he was a warehouse man. IN was •ery sorry for what he bai done. It wee the that time. Yr. Paget—Where do you come from ! The primer—From Ireland. Mr. Paget—You have committed a very savage assualt. The prisoner —It is not in my nature to do anything of the kind. Mr. Paget—The first thing you did when the policeman wound you was to bite him. It is not contrary to your Datum You acted like a wild beast. Drunkenoess is no &fame whoa an assault of this usage character is com mitted. I must inflict a savers punishment. I sentence you to be imprisoned for two months and kept to hard labour.

This afternoon a meeting was held at the London Tavern, the Earl of BRASH/MUST in tits chair, to consider the best mode of carrying into practical operation, either through private enterprise or the formation of a joint stack company, Macintosh's submarine telegraph cable.. Mr. MACINTOSH reads a statement, the' substance of which was that the peculiarities of his system of constructing telegraph cables consisted in using a new insulating material of superior efficacy to any known substance, which enables • rate of 80 per cent. more signalling power to be obtained than in the C:IFC of the late Atlantic cable. All external iron-wire sheathing, whether alone or in combination with tarred hemp. as in the late Atlantic cable, and all steel wire spi ralled round the conductor is dispensed with. The mechanical strength requisite for the cable is obtained from the materials employed in insulating its conductor, which material is applied in numerous thin coatings or films, under tension, sod a pressure of several tons, so that all superfluous weight is avoided, and such an excess of strength is obtained, that the cable will sustain 20 miles of its length in water ; and three cables, it is said, can be con structed by Macintosh's system for tba price of one such as it was lately attempted to lay across the Atlantic. The conductor of Macintosh's cable consists of a series of fine copper wires, laid longitudinally, and held together by the insulating material ; the cable is constructed in 000 conti nuous length, without welds or joints, and, when finished, is, it was urged, at once the smallest, lightest, least expen sive, and most effective submarine telegraph cable known. A resolution was moved approving of the system, ant committee was appointed to consider the best plan of operations. COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS. MARK-LAN 8.--(THIS DAY.)

The supply of barley was by no means extensive. Se lected parcels sold steadily—other kinds slowly, at late currencies. No quotable change tmk piece in the value of mot. Sam, however, progressed slowly. Oat. commended full prime ; but the demand for them was by no means active. The supply was rather on the increase.

Mr. Lutymia, of London, who is so well known as • por trait and animal piaster, was selected to furnish the por trait, and has performed the task is the most successful manner. Lady Eglintos is represented on her bay bores, two favouritaiounde in the lerefi ened r sad the remainder of the pack in tbe distance. The attitude of the horse ia very spirited, and the likeness of her ladyship quite • sue. eat. The portrait was presented at • diner given to Lord Winton in the Kings Arms Hotel on Tuesday even ing—the Marquis of Allis in the chair, and Sir James Femme croupier.
