The directors will submit resolutions for increasing the capital of the hank by the issue of 50,000 new shares of 100/. each and for allotting the same to the shareholders, and also for making such alterations in the deed of settlement as may be necessary to give effect thereto. The proprietors are aware that on each of the new shares a sum of thirty pounds is to be paid, viz., 20/. per share in part payment of the capital, and 10/. per share premium to be added to the reserve fund. The paid up capital will then amount two millions, and the reserve fund to one million.

The CHstatesx, in moving the adoption of thereport and accounts, commenced by appealing to the meeting for its rympathy on his succeeding as chairexanAlderman &demons, &gentleman who was so justly popular in that capacity. (Cheers.) He then congratulated the proprietors present OW the completion of the new buildings, without any ac cident to life or lows of limb. The statement of accounts jest read, he said, needed noes planation from him. Of course the bw rate of interest had produced an effect. The avenge rote of investment had not exceeded 3 per cent., which was very low compared with the rate hat year. Notwithstanding this he thought that the pro pnetors must feel that the report was satisfactory— ,Lateend---and that their interests had been well cared for. - .roe deposits showed an increase of 800,000/. as compare d with that time last year. As compared with last Christmas there was • falling off, but since the 30th June, the date tip to which the accounts were made up, there had been an increase of 1,000,0001., and the bank was now entrusted with a larger amount of public money than it had ever possessed be. foe'. (Cheers.) That building and the others were excellent assets, and worth more than the amount at which they were put down in the books. The increase of capital would be a separate question, to he brought forward wh e n the ordina r y business had been disposed of. He was ono of those who were formerly opposed to the increase of the reserve fund, but his opinion had undergone a change, and he WAS happy t o k now th a t th a t fund now amounted to half a million. (Cheers.) Mr. ESDAILZ, adirector, seconded the motion, which was sleeted almost without discussion. The CHAIRMAN then proceeded to propose an increase of inyital by the slue of 50,000 new shares of 100/. each, He said the feeling with regard to the rest was one cause that had led to that proposal. It was proposed to nue the reserve fund to 1,000,0001. With the pro- Posed increase of capital there would be 3,000,000/. 14 a security to the public, and be believed the üblic would appreciate that state of things. The date, of payment had been made convenient to the pro- Pieter& The SccitrrAtur then read the formal resolution for °ening out the object. Mr. Alderman SALOMON.% M.P., seconded the resolu tion. I , repl to queion Ti. CH y AIRMAN s st tated s, that unless the first call were led by the time provided for the penalty would be en. breed ; the shares would not in that case be issued to the Items who was entitled to them. In reply to a further question, The CHAIRMAN said there was no intention of incresaing reserve fund beyond a million. The resolution was carried unanimously ; and the Chair. b 4 l announced that a meeting would be held on Friday fortnight to confirm it. The proceedings terminated with votes of thanks to the mrecters, the general manager (Mr. Ewing.), the =AM Rh, and the other officers of the bank. THE FREN( H BRAVOS.—The prefect of Police, k. Pietri, has addressed the following letter to the police au thorities of Paris :—" Paris, July 15, 1867. Gentlemen, —The journals have called your attention to sets of vio hue which have been committed even in the public r " , t+.

Om o'Oiooz. The Stock Exchange presents but few signs of animation, and there is only a thin attendance, the attractions of Wimbledon and those of the Naval Review at Spithead having drawn away a considerable number of members. The inactivity of business is further increased by an unwillingness to effect engagements until the course of the Bank directors is known with regard to the rate of dis count, as their movements may probably be fol lowed by corresponding movements at the principal financial centres on the Continent. Under these circumstances the funds are stationary, yet mode rately firm ; but railways are weaker, Midlands and Brightens being a shade lower than at the final close yesterday. Foreign stocks are a little stronger, but they present no other feature. The expectation is almost general that the Bahl( directors will to-morrow lower the rate of discos nt to 2 per cent. ; and this anticipation has further lessened the inquiry, which was previously unim portant. There is also a partial expectation that if the Bank directors reduce te-morrow, the Bank of 1 1 France will immediately follow the example. On the Stock Exchange money is quite out of demand, and the terms for the best commercial bills in Lombard-street do not exceed per cant., though the nominal quotation remains at 2 per cent. Consols are steady at 541 to 1 for money, and 941 to 95 for account. Reduced and Nov Three per Cents., 94 to I. India Five per 6enta. are quoted at 111 to 1,. The railway market is a little weaker, especially for Midland and Brighton stocks, as well as for Great Northern A's ; blit there is no pres sure of sales. The following are the quotations : Metropolitan Stock, 122 to ; Great, Western, 421 to 2 ; London and North Western, 1122 to 2 ; Midland, 115 to ; Lancashire and York shire, 128 to ; Caledonian, 110 to 111 ; South Eastern, 642 to .11 ; Great Eastern, 264 to it ; Great Northern, 113 to 114 ; ditto A, to ; London, Chatham, and Dover, 182 to 2 ; North British, 30 to 31. Loudon and Brighton stock is quoted at 50 to _ . . . Foreign stocks are a little more firmly held, but for the moat part quotations remain the same as at the close of yesterday's business. Turkish Bonds of 1862 have advanced 4, being now quoted at 57 to 4. Those of 1865 remain at 314 to / ; Greek, 144 to I ; Spanish Passives, 22 to ; Certifi cates, 154 to 164 ; Italian (1861), 494 to ; Mexican, 16 to 4. American securities continue dull.

About 9,000/. in gold was yesterday bought by the Bank. The specie arrivals yesterday comprised a total of 262,000 f., including 22,200/. by the New York, and 150,1521, by the City of Baltimore, both from the United States, and 89,7001. by the Wellesley, from Melbourne. The steiuner Rhone, which leaves to-day for the West Ladies, takes only 2001. in specie (silver)• On Change yesterday afternoon bills on the con tinent were in scanty supply, in consequence of which the rates on Paris were rather lower. The Vienna exchange was slightly higher.

At the general meeting of shareholders of the Imperial Bank (Limited), held yesterday, the directors' report stated the unappropriated balance at 18,108/.,after paying current expenses, providing for bad and doubtful debts, &c. The directors accordingly proposed to apply 13,5001. to payment of a dividend for the half-year at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, free of income-tax, and to carry forward 4,6081. ss. 3d. to credit of profit and loss new account. In a concluding paragraph of the report, however, the directors say that they " re gret to report a loss was sustained by the bank on the last day of the half-year of 19,000/., which oc curred through over-payment of an account, and though it has so recently occurred, the directors have thought it desirable to deal with it at once, and they therefore have placed the amount to the debit of the reserve fund." This loss naturally excited a great deal of discussion at the meeting, more especially as it appears from the explanations given that it has arisen from gross carelessness on the part of some of the bank's clerks. The report was ultimately adopted. At an extraordinary meeting of the Submarine Telegraph Company, held yesterday, resolutions were passed authorising the laying down of a new line of telegraphic communication between England and Belgium, and for this purpose increasing the capital by the issue of 35,0001. 7 per cent. pre ference stock, in addition to the present capital of 26.5,0001.

A meeting of the East Anglian proprietors is also called for the 14th of August, to elect a director. A special general meeting of proprietors of tho Union Bank of London is called for the 30th August, to elect a director in the room of Mr. John Scott, deceased. Mr. G. S.

The weather this morning was a vast improve ment upon that of yesterday, though the wind was some what boisterous, consequently a good muster of spectator., including many connoisseurs, assembled at Kennington Oval to witness the resumption of the play. The bell rang soon after half-past 11, and 20 minutes later the field was "set," and the not outs" of the previous evening, Jupp with 13 and Pooley with 0, took their places at the respec tive wickets. The bowling was started by Mr. Train and Mr. Maitland, the latter fume the Pavilion wicket. The Sur rey wicket-keeper was in great hitting force, he made two fives on drive from Maitland, and cut off Mr. Trail!. Jupp in the same over made a cut for 3, and the score hav ing been elevated to SO, Mr. R. D. Walker took a turn at Mr. Traill's wicket, but the run getting continued, some big hits being placed on record. When the score was raised to 100, Dr. Grace relieved Mr. Maitland. Thirteen more runs were added and then Mr. Round ren dered himself conspicuous again by catching Jupp very cleverly at the wicket after be had scored 25, by two fours, two threes, and three twos-5 for 113. Alfred Shaw now commenced operations, and his first big hits were a three on-drive and a four off-drive off Mr. Maitland, who took up the bowling when the score stood at 120. Before many more balls were bowled, a shower drove the" field" in, but as sudden a cessation of the rain and cries of " play, play" soon brought them again to the wickets. At one o'clock when our despatch left the oval, the score stood as under : _ GENTLEMEN.—first loan" E. 31. Grace, Eq., I b w b Shaw 7 E. D. Walker, F.Aq., ran out 8 A. Lubbock, Esq.. b Lfllywhlte B.

Last evening an affray took place in the Bell-inn, Dale-end, in which a man named John a striker, living in London 'Prentice-street, Birmingham, was shot dead by the proprietor of the house, Moms Roberts. The facts of the case, as far as we have been able to ascertain them at present, are as follow :—About 10 o'clock last evening the deceased, in company with two other men, entered the gin-shop of Roberts, in which there was a number of persons drinking. These persons asked to be supplied with two-pennyworth of whisky ; but Roberta being under the impreesion, as he said, that they had had enough to drink, refused to supply them with any more liquor. They pressed him, however to give them more drink, but Roberts firmly refused, and he was turning away from the counter to go to another part of the shop, the de ceased picked up • plate which lay upon the counter, and threw it at him. Roberts, observing the man's movement, stooped and avoided the missile. The deceased and his com panions followed up this act by throwing the glasses on the counter at Roberts, but he managed to escape without being struck. Going to a drawer, then. Roberts took out • loaded six-barrelled revolver, and presented it at the men, saying that he would shoot them. The deceased retreating • few yards, said, "Shoot, T oo —, shoot ." The o th er men (dec eased's companions) cried out, " Well settle the —," and more glasses were then thrown at Roberta, who fired upon the party, the deceased immediately dropping to the ground. Upon examination, it was found that be was in a dying state, and that being so, he was, without loss of time, re moved in • cab to the General Hospital ; but the unfortu nate man died on the way to that institution. The bullet, it was found, had entered at a point about two inches from the left breast. Roberts, on being charged at the police-station, made • statement to the effect that the decreased and two other men came into his vaults and requested him to serve him with some liquor ; that he refused ; that he then made use of bad expreesions, and threw plates and glasses at him ; and that it was then he took • pistol and fired at him. Roberts, who was very nervous and dejected, and appeared to be in • state of great excitement, expressed himself as very sorry forwhat had happened. Theprisoner, when taken into custody, bad the revolver in his hand. Roberts was for sonic time an active supporter of Mr. Mur phy ; but it would seem that for some cause or other he had withdrawn himself from any participation in the lectures at the tabernacle. At the time of the riots his windows were broken amongst those of other friends of the so-called protestant movement ; and, being threatened with personal violence, he is said to have kept the revolver at hand, in readiness to defend himself. It is said that the deceased and his companions are Roman aitholics, and that their visit was made with no friendly intentions.— BirstingAant Post. THE CITY OF MEXICO BEFORE ITS CAPTURE. The Post of thin morning has a letter from a cor respondent at the city of Mexico, written on June 14, just a week before it surrendered to Diaz. General Mar quez, who had been put in command by Maximilian, had shot many men whom he had suspected of treachery, and had exacted at least half-a-million sterling from the in habitants. "He has continued to extort money from everyone whom be believed had it, and has not hesi tated in resorting to the most cruel punishment in order to compel refractory persons to pay over their gold. He has been ably seconded by Vidaurri and the other members of the government, and I presume they all share the spoils. The soldiers are paid with tolerable regu. larity, and are thus kept in good-humour ; and the balance, I presume, goes into the private coffers of the Junto. It is not uncommon for an entire family to be arrested, im prisoned, and kept without food until the required sum is paid." Several persons died daily from starvation, and their corpses were found in the streets. "Our condition daily grows more and more desperate. Scenes of horror are constantly enacted, and the suffering and misery of the people, great before, are now almost unendurable. Marquez is furious with rage, and desperate. On hearing of the murder of Menez and Campos he executed two of the hostages, and sent word to Escobedo, through Diaz, that if he heard of the death of Maximilian he would slay all of his prisoners. At the same time he intimated that he was disposed to negotiate terms of surrender. That replied that he would accept nothing but an unconditional surrender, and that in no case should the lives of Marquez, Vidaurri, or any of the members of the Ireperial Cabinet, be spared. Marquez, then, is strug gling for life. Even now I believe that if he were to put him self at the head of his men he could cut his way through the enemy and effect hie escape. If he does not do that, he is lost. It is with the greatest difficulty that food is now procured, and a few days more must end the struggle. I have sat up all night to write this in order to have it ready for the venturesome courier who is to start from here in the course of a few moments for Vera Cruz. He goes with his life in his band, and despatches from the American consul in his boot. He may get through, although all the chances are against him. As I close my letter the enemy are opening a fire upon their extreme right, a quarter from which they are fond of blazing away at us. I will go up into the convent tower and look at the shells streaming through the air." PROPOSED STEAM LINE BETWEEN NEW ORLEANS AND HAVES.—The French Transatlantic Company has re ceived an address from the bankers, commission agents, amoranoe officers, importers, and merchants of New Orleans, expressing a strong denim to see a direct line of steam navigation between New Orleans and Havre esta blished. The company proposes the formation of the line, but the French government hesitate for the present to grant the subvention that is required.—Pana ma Star. DZINNANT BRAWN AND eroon. eh. I Pa.

TORY Dr.sparx.—ln these days when all men are absorbed in the worship of success denuded of all those attributes of consistency, ity, and honour, which make a losing cause ble, and the absence of which makes a winning cause despicable, we, like every one else, must pay our bonnie to superior for tune,: and assume a moderation that suits the position of the advocates of a vanquished end rained canoe. Argument has nothing to do with the decision of this most important matter. Contrary to the teaching of all history, more especially contrary to the teaching of the history of Eng land, we have flung aside all moderation, all foresight, all prudence. Last year the attempt was to enfranchise the class whose leading principles and Wean are illustrated by the trar.sactions of trades' onions. This year we have at least in some degree avoided this risk by swamping the skilled artisan in en element of which we do not even know that it has in it any political life at all. We seek to escape the evils of unbridled democracy by the evils of un bounded corruption. Our last hope is, that our future rulers may choose to sell us the power we are giving them, instead of exercising it for their ruin and our own. Mr. Gladstone is terrified, Mr. Bright stands aghast. We call upon the radicals to save us, we blush to say it, from the tory government, a nd th e y are gradually taking up the position of a conservative opposition sgsinst the measures of Lord Derby and Mr. Diarseli.—Quarterfy Basing, new number. COMMERCIAL AND MARKET& MARK-LANE.—(THIS DAY.) The attendance at our market this day was moderately od, but the arrivals of English wheat were very limited. The few samples on the stands were readily disposed of prices folly equal to Monday last. There was a good show of foreign wheat, and in fair average condition. Holders were firm in demanding late, rates, but sales progressed but slowly, buyers not beir inclined to operate beyond their immediate requirements. Floating cargoes of grin were in slow request, at Mai late decline in prices. There was only a email supply of barley on offer, sad the trade ruled steady at hardening prices. The malt trade was dull, but we have no change to report in values. Oats were plentiful, and good sound corn moved rdli steadily at our late quotations. Beans were somewhat scarce, bat the demand was heavy. and prices are unchanged. Peas met a slow inquiry on previous terms. In seeds and cakes there warn little doing, yet prices was su re n tl e tur trade ruled inactive, and prices had a down. ward tendency. PRICM. Per Qr. I WITIAT. P. ENs; lent, red, :65 67 to 71 _ .

THE PWEETING SYSTIM. —The adjournml Wear. ing of trades delegates was bold last night at the Sum* Hotel, Rouverie-street, Flestotreet, Mr. Scenes, tinplate worker, in the chair. Mr. Mackay, delegate from the tailors, explaieed at some length the reasons which hadl induced the trade to refuse to endorse the arrangement entered into en Monday last by the late president and se. cretery to withdraw the pickets; after which Mr. Bristow. mason, moved, and Mr. Magrath, joiner, seconded the fol. lowing resolution :—" That this meeting of trade delegate consider the system of placing pickets on shops or jobs om strike to be justifiable, and a legitimate means of giving due effect to the act of 11859, by which workmen are allowed to peaceably persuade other workmen not to accept of any terms that may be offered by the employers; more especially as the existing lave is sufficiently stringent to punish any man who, while acting ,rt a picket, may to far exceed has instructions as to use intimidation or resort to threats to effect his object." The resolution, haws been supported by several delegates, was au ried unapt. moody. The South Eastern and the London, Chatham. and Dover Railway Companies have adopted a reduced! rate for the conveyance tut working men to Paris by Vits short sea route ; the contliZ.ons impased being tho pro. duction of an employer's certificate that the passenger its in his employ and the statement of the excursionist *at his object is to see the Exhibition. This step hat Sege taken, we believe, at the instance of the Paris canton Committee. 1 i 4 nig& aver. Is tbd nt i‘ hal to boll met*. wig ay in bast.
