FACILITIES FOR DIVINE SERVICE IN COLLEGIATE SCHOOLS BILL. Mr. CI iLLINS moved the second reading of this bill, the r' vet of which, he said, was to provide for the conduct of now worship in public schools inch as Rugby and Harrow the m.,hters. In fact, if the bill passed, these schools would swore. to a certain extent parishes, the cure of souls being ..th the consent of the bishop, underthe schoolmaster. huts rem desirable that the muter should stand in the re ef clergyman to the boys, and that the sermons ti.0,11..1 be adapted to them, rather than the boys should the parish church, and hear mermons adapted to Wawa shopkeepers, and such other persons as might at kid there. Mr. HA RDCASTLE said the hon. member spoke of the heinz applicable to Harrow and Rugby, bat if be :coked to the interpretation clause, he would find thst neither Harrow nor Rugby would be affected by the bill, thatmuch as ultimo( these schools were incorporated by het i 5 city 9. but were private foundations. He believed the r... (*ere of the bill was to enable the muter of tie schools known as Kiog Edward schools to r t.amt service morning and evening without the preset:co of the parents, and so that the parents of me children should have no control over the religion h..!Tacti , ,n imparted to them. Now, these schools were reLy established for towns, and not for scholars who were drawn from a distance by the »potation of the heed cater. At present the children of uneaten Lt:Lo.ling these schools were oily required to at kt, I church nice a day, and the permits might attend, sad if say improper instruction were given them they could h.,ce it rectiried ; but if the bill pealed the parent, could to longer be present at the service, as one of the procisioc9 Ira that none but the boys should be present, and thus dosenters would be practically excluded frees the whools. He did not mean to say that under certain dream e aces there should not be private chapels in connexion ah some of the lame school., bat a measure to provide h chapels required great consideration, and ought not to le introduced at the clue of the suasion when there was not tnie to fully dismiss it He moved that the bill be read a mond time that day three month+. 31r.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report and accounts, called attention to the large imams of badness se manifested by the deposit and current acoonnts on, demand, which now amounted to 18,500,000( being 3,000,0001. more th an was reported at the last meet ing, and 4,000,00 W. in excess of the amount reported at the ear respooding period of last year.

Jones Loyd and Co.'. business, including the bank premises, which had been invaluable, leaned of being, as was rumoured, from 250,00 k to half a million, the amount was 187,5001. (Heir, hear.) It had been often said that the staets of feint stock banking companies could not be kept ; but no such statement could he made In future, because although this had been known to upwards of 150 grans it had been honestly and religiously kept until min time as the bank directors bad thought tit to disclose it. He was gratified at being able to state that the increase of busi ness resulting from the amalgamation had fully signalled the expectations of the directors, and NW Messrs. Jones Loyd and Co. had rendered the most valuable services. With respect to the accounts, he need only point to the bainee-shoet to show bow highly satisfactory they must be to the shareholders. They had never before at their meeting divided more than 10 per oent., whereas now the dividend would be 14 (cheers)—besides which nearly 7,0001. had been added to the reserve fund, which now amounted to 282,8521., and the dine. tors,feeling that the bank was making such large profits, were of opinion that it should eventually be increased to 500,0C3/. He reminded the meeting that If their capital had been only 500,0001., instead of paying a dividend at the rate of 28 per per cent, they would in reality be paying 58. Th e y were, in point of fact, now in the heyday of prosperity, and not only making a lance sum of money, but no leers. (Obsess.) The adoption of the report, which wan seconded by Mr. VeLLIAMI, wasicarried unanimously ; and cordial votes of thanks to the chairman and directors, the managers, and the secretary were passed by amtiamation.

It was mainly for the declara tion of this dividend that the meeting had been convened for this early date, for eater the divi dend were now declared and paid, it would not be competent for the directors to declare any dividend until the completion of the various sew Hoes authorised in the seasiorm of 1861 and 1862. which would, however. as he hoped, be oompleted before the period for de claring a farther dividend. He would, therefore, should the meeting approve of the dividend, propose that the meeting be adjourned to the 11th of August, when they would be able to take into consideration the general proceed ings of the company.

As the demand for the continent continues strong, while the remit tances from America and Australia are upon a very moderate male, it is not unlikely that further amounts will be taken from the Bank. The steamer Ceylon will take to-day 92,8731. in specie, of which 1,9224 is gold and the rest silver. 57,940/. is for China, 17,1501. for Singapore, 16,9231. for Madras, and 8601. for Point de Gallo. The season for larger remittances of silver to the East will shortly commence, but it is thought that they will not be so extensive as they were at the corresponding period of last year, owing to the increased exports of cotton goods, by which the balance of trade against England is of course pro portionately reduced.

The following, on the wine and spirit trade, is from the circular of Mr. F. W. Comma : There bee been a noticeable absence of spennlatioe in our wine and spirit markets for a long period ; pricer therefore remain affactedsolsly by legitimate demand. Should the clearance for June equal that of the five preceding months, the trade of the half-year will prove to be by far the largest en record, the great Merges@ being in the home consumption —of late Bare the export total has been affected by direct shipmate from the ports of prednatioa to Australia and other localities; them supplies were is 1863 somewhat liberal ; it is therefore oely reasonable tolookfor more mode. rate figurer in 1864 ; still with all these drawbacks the sa -1 port from the United Kingdom, although less than ie 1863, I will exceed that of 1862. Brandy remains comically at the gam pries, but is slow ,of sale. Rune, in the faceof the heavy stock, does not improve in value. Common descrip• time of sherry, most of which appear unfit for immediate use, are difficult to place—good samples of all descriptions are I saleable at the advanced rates fixed Is January—coommere. however, purchase only for their immediate wants. Good young ports remain at moderate prices ; fine old wham scarce and deer ; the vines generally throughout France and Ger. many present a favourable appearance prima therefore are likely to remain moderate for each deecriptioos.
