The balances and the profits had increased, though not fast, surely, and he might congratulate th em on the prese nt state of the bank. In five years they had raised a reserve fund of 10,000 1 ., and had paid off between $,000?. and 9,0001. of prelimi. n .ry expenses, not by means of premiums on shares, bat out of the profits of the bank. The profits hitherto applied in the payment of preliminary expenses would be henceforth available either for dividend or the increase of the reserve fund. Mr. BASIL T. Wooer., ILI% (a director) seconded the motion. Mr. Ahuan, after asking whether there bad been any bad debts, expressed a hope that the item of 16,004. for the purchase of the business would be gradually reduced until it was eztinguished. Another SHARFAI..i.mga deprecated the application of a large proportion of the earnmp in the manner just sug gested. In his opinion when they arrived at alO per cent. dividend it would be time enough to get rid of the item for purchase. (Laughter.) The CHAIRMAN in reply remarked that the bad and doubtful debts were amply provided for. No institution took greater care to write off sufficient for that purpose. As regarded the item for the purchase money of the business, he denied that it did not represent an asset, seeing that the business of the bank would realise a much larger amount than 16,0001. The report having been adopted, and n diviilenl at the rate of 6 per cent per annum declared, the meeting ter minated with the usual votes of thanks. MONEY MARRET.-( 171 Ill DAY.)!

A large amount of business has been done, although the dealers are very busy with the fortnightly settlement, which will be completed this afternoon.

Foreign bonds are in active demand, and have advanced 1 to 1 per oent., the chief inquiry being for Turkish and Peruvian. The reduction in railway shares amounts to 1 to 11 per cent. The absence of purchases by the public, and the increase in the supply of stock in the mar ket, have induced further speculative sales for a fall in these securities, notwithstanding the favour able dividends just announced by several com panies. Banking and financial shares meet with inquiry, and show an upward tendency. The demand for money has increased to-day, owing to the Stock Exchange settlement and the approach of the 4th of the month. The rate for 1 the beat paper, however, is still 11 to 1 R per cent. Short loans are in requeet in the Stock Exchange, at 1 per cent. Consols are quoted 93-,1 to I both for money and the account (6th February), and the Three per Cents.

A resolution is to be submitted to the meeting to " authorise the borrowing on , mortgage of a sum not exceeding 200,0001., being ' one-third of the amount of the new redeemable l share capital."

Annexed is the substance of the report of the directors of the Telegraph to India Company (Limited), to be presented at the general meeting on the 7th February : The board, with the approval of the shareholders at the meetings on the 12th July and 9 th August last, confirmed the provisional agreement with the Telegraph COIIMIC tion and Maintenance Company for the lease of their line in Egypt, on payment, from lit July last, of 1,5001. per annum, or three per cent. upon the capital of 10,0001.

The future prospects of the company must depend, as the shareholders are aware, upon the ricoessful carrying out of the Anglo-Indian Telegraph Company, which the board understand only remains in abeyance awaiting a favouvable opportunity for proceeding with the under taking. The report of the directors of the Hercules Inan rance Company (Limited) announces the usual dividend of 5 per cent. per annum. At the meeting, yesterday, of the Eastern District Freehold Estates Company (Limited), the directors report was adopted. Owing chiefly to the stagna tion of business, the balance available, including 22/. brought forward, is only 8241.; but this sum will admit of the payment of the fixed dividend upon the capital paid in advance of cells, of a divi dend of 5 per cent. per annum on the ordinary capital, and the carrying forward of a sum of 291. The annual meeting of the Lands Improvement Company is called for the 13th of February, when a dividend is to be declared. The colonial wool sales are fixed to commence on Thursday, 27th February.

It mentions a somewhat important point—a partial turn of the bullion current which has for so many years set from this country to India : Sines our last there liars been a good inquiry for bullies of all kinds, for export to the continent. Mexican dollars nave been in especial demand , an d have improved to es. 11d. per ounce. liar silver is also firm at a shade higher price, sa. 7-16 d. per ounce standard. For Faris, gold liar betel muck wanted, and is addition to the rather large arrivals, several parcels of importance have bees pur chased from the Beak of England. The Indian exclian;es appear to be at last turning in favour of this country, and to have declined to a point at which silver can be exported at a profit. A parcel of 50,000 sovereigns has actually left Calcutta for England, sod it is thought probable that other rem ittances of bullion f TOM India may shortly follow. Subjoined is Messrs. Culverwell, Brooks, and Co.'s report of yesterday's hide sales : At the second aeries of hide sales for the year s good demand was experienced. the whole of the q uantity brought forward - being sold et ful to :olvanced rates.

The total, which last week reached 113 i millions, is now little over 31 millions. in neither period has the course of business been disturbed by any t ose of ment in the Stuck Exchange. The planatio the decline appears to be that, now that the year has been turned, mercantile affairs have fallen back into their ordinary course, and business is slack. The return of the Bank of England for the week ending Wednesday, Jan. 29, compared with that fur the previous week, shows the following changes : Circulation 1111111111 Circul Pubilo ation active Z4,474,530 Diereses .04,340 depoeite 3.345,200 Imes •203.346 Other deposits Governmentepa anterities ia banking drtment 14,068,246 Decrease 200,800 Other securities in banking department 16,616,358 Decrease 104,628 0016 and bullion is both departments Seven day and other belle— 607,733 Decrease 61,440 The Kart 3,31.0,332 lacreme Notes in reserve Total reserve (notes k ooin) in banking department 13,845,003 Increase 513,062 Owing to the influx of government deposits, com bined with the continued falling off in the amount of the Bank's advances upon securities, the reserve has experienced a fresh increase of more than half a million.

THE CHARGE OF FOISTING A TINIAN PLACARD. Michael Gough, alias William Coffee. was this morning brought before the Lord Mayor for further examination on the charge of posting a Fenian placard on the Menden house. It was stated that inquiries had been made, and the mirmner bore • good character. There did not a ppear to be any ground for believing that he was in any way con nected with Yankeeism. The prisoner expensed his regret at what had occurred, and said that it was merely • thoughtless act on his per, and he promised not to do such • thing again. The Lord Mayor said he bad received • letter from a priest belonging to St. George's Cathedral, South was ark, informing him that the family of the prisoner very respectable and industrious. Under all the circumstances, he said he should fine the defendant 40a. for paling the placard without permission, and in default a month's imprisonment. A. gentleman,who tinted himself to be • Roman catholic priest, at once stepped forward and volunteered to pay the fine. Alderman Rose expressed his surprise that a person in the position of a Roman catholic priest should come for ward and pay the fine for the prisoner in ench an osten tatious manner. The gentleman said that he did so in order to prevent the prisoner from being sent to gaol. His parents were very poor people, and unable to pay the fine. Tire Lord Mayor said that he also considered it a very extraordinary proceeding. The prisoner had committed a very mischievous act, and it was not the only time, for he was proved to have posted a similar placard on a previous occasion. All he regretted was that the law did not give him the power to send the prisoner to gaol without the option of paying a fine. The prisoner wee then discharged. BOW-STREET. THE SHAN DETECTIVE AT CHARING-CROSS. Thomas Berri, Pooh was brought up on remand charged with loitering at Charing-cress railway station for an unlawful purpose, and also with falsely representing him self to be a detective officer of the City police. Sergeant Holmes, of the City police, corroborated the evidence of Sergeant Monkton as to the prisoner having represented himself as a detective at Cannon-street, and I dated that he had known Inspector Foulger intimately for yam . Inspector Foulger stated that the prisoner was wholly unknown to him. Sergeant Monkton said he had made Inquiries about the prisoner, and found that his wife was in service, and her mistress would not allow him to visit her. The wife declined to attend at the court, and told witness that she could say no good of him. There was no reason to sup pose that he had committed any thefts at the station. The prisoner raid Le was sorry he hod on e to the sta tion, but what he had done he bad done innocently. Sir Thomas Henry said that could not be so. He must know that it was not an innocent act to pass himself off as a detective. If the Commissioners either of the Metropo litan or City force had thought proper to prosecute him for that act, he might be very severely punished. He must know that he had acted most improperly. Here the prisoner bunt into tears. Sir Thomas Henry was glad to see that the prisoner felt his position and was sorry for his conduct. It was to be hoped that it would operate as a warning to him not to pretend that he was a policeman, and not to go to railway station' when he had no business there. He was mis - taken if he supposed that any person was en titled to /0 to a railway station and stop about there for hoa r when having no business there. It did not now appear that the prisoner had committed any felony, but there was at first good reason for suspicion, and the officer did quite right to lock him up. In the hope that he would behave better in future, he (Sir Thomas Henry) would consider the week's iiiiirisonment he had undergone as a sufficient punishment, and allow him to be discharged. 11ARLDOROUGH - STREWF. A HAILON CHARGED WITH STABBING. Frederick Brown, • sailor, residing at 31, Meantertreet, Grosvenor spline, was ch a rged before Mr. Knox with maliciously stabbing and wounding Thomas Laity, • boot maker, residing at No. 69, Berwick-street, Soho. The prosecutor said—About half-past 11 last night I was at Mr. Salmon's, the Queens Arms, at the c orner of Wardour-street. Oxfonl-street, and stepped out to look for one of the friend' who had been in nay com d - pany. The prisoner, who was r t e nding outside, followe me in and said, " Ain't you a sailor 1" I replied. " No, I am no sailor," and the prisoner then called me very bad names. I told him not to do so, and he then took out acme halfpence end asked me to have something to drink. I said, " Not at your expense," and he then calle hile d me a --, and also the other person s in the place, and w the landlord was getting ready to put the prisoner out of the house, I saw the prisoner take a knife from his trousers pocket and put it into his coat pocket. I told the landlord to beware as the prisoner had a knife, and that it was in his pocket. The prisoner then went over end stood in the middle of Oxford-street with a knife in his hand. I craned the street with the intention and of s peaking to a constable, when the pelsoaer met me struck me, and I struck him, and we fell, and on getting up I found that I had been stabbed in the hand. The pri soner maned at me spin, and would have struck me again but I got from him. A constable then came up,and seeing the knife in the prisoner's hand wrested it from him. the prisoner cutting his own hand before he would give it up. My heed was dressed at the station by • surgeon. Joseph Ilronie, potman at the Queen's Anna, Oxford street, said—l saw the prisoner take the knife out of his trousers pocket, open it, and put it open into his coat pocket. I afterwards followed the prosecutor out of the bowie, and sew the prisoner, who was standing with a knife in his hand , attack the prosecutor, and they fell together. 1M getting up the prosecutor said that he had been stabbed, and the prisoner would also limo attacked me. but I avoided Mr. Knox- Was the prisoner sober' Witness—No ; about three-parts drunk. Edward Shareill. C —This morning, at 20 minutes past 12, I begird cries of " Police" in Oxfordffneet, and saw the prisoner with a knife in his band. I wrestled with him, and we fell, and another constable came up and took the knife from the prisoner, whose hand was cut in doing a>. I aftements took the prisoner to the station. Dr. George Roes, surgeon to the K. division of police, mid—This morning about half peat 12, I examined the prosecutor and found that he h ad been stabbed on the outside of the left hand. The wound was about half an , inch in length and penetrated deeply but it did not pass quite through the hand. I also examined the priaoner and found that he had some cuts on his band. I saw a knife and the wound might have been caused by such a knife. Mr. Knox—ls there any necessity, Dr. Rees, for my holding the case over from t o- day to see the result of the wound ? Mr. Ross—l believe the wound will go on well. The prisoner said he had been drinking and did not recollect anything about it. Mr. Knox—Yon will be committed to the Central Criminal Court for trial. The farmers in Devonshire are complaining of the increa'e of the ringdove or wood pigeon. These birds visit that county now in large docks. They feed on beech nuts, acorns, turnip, and swede greens, rang clover". cabbage plants , tare s, peas, ke. When feeding they have moots who give notice of danger. They breed often during the year. They commence cooing in March. Many of their early laid eggs are devoured by jays. They build their nests curelemly and their young often fall out of them. A Madrid letter in the Curerrier de Bayonne says :—" The Trogressista party is making great efforts to induce Marshal Espartcro, wbo is in retirement at Lo grono, to resume his place in the Senate. The circum stance which healed to this attempt is the publication by the illustrious statesman and soldier of a letter, in which he calls upon the members of the Liberal Union, the Pre gressistas, and the party of advance, to labour without coalescing for the triumph of liberal principles." Marshal Espartero is in his 76th year.

Mr. Barley was among the speakers at the annual meeting of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, yesterday. The hon. gentleman said the prospects of the cotton industry were brightening. There had been an " immense" depredation in the value not only of the raw material but also of goods—the losses in Liverpool alone from this cause during the pant year having amounted to little less than five nil lions—but the solvency of the district hail upon the whole been well maintained. He urged the Chamber to continue their efforts to obtain permanent supplies of oottou at moderate prices, for," instead of depending upon America and India alone, they ought to have twenty important sources of supply." Among the other subjects touched upon in the boo, gentleman's speech was that of the bankruptcy law. He pointed out the gross injustice which creditors suffered under the existing system, and urged the importance of pressing for • thorough reform of the law.

THE IRISH CHERVIL —The first meeting upon this subject in the East-end was held Let night in the Beaumont Institution, when Mr. Charles Reed presided. la introducing Mr. M acon Jones to the audience, the chair man said he knew enough o f Ireland to have his sympa thies enlisted in reference to the personal liberty and the 'modal advancement of the people who lived in that tracted land. The Irish people, he wax pomaded, were ready to bear their fair share of burdens ;but the time had come when fall juatioe ought to be dealt out to than. Lord Stanley had recently said that though the Irish quo- ' Loa was an important one, it was not die duty of ay parliament to deal with it. He (the chairman) should have thought it would have been to the honour of a dying parliament, and have entitled it to enduring praise, If it bad taken the question into consideration, and have grap pled with it honestly and comegeonaly. There was no question more important, and he believed the English pwple were determined that it should be settled. Mr. Itision Jones whose speech was loudly applauded, ad dressed himself at length to some of the plans proposed by newspaper correepondetts, and contended that only the impartial diaendowsnent of all religiose bodies in Inland would bring the matter to a satisfactory issue.
