Repre sentations having been made to the directors of the want of banking facilities in the neighbourhood of Tottenham Court-road and Ludgate-hill, they bare, after due investigation, opened beau:hes in those localities, which are progressing satisfactorily. The Bond-street branch steadily supports the favorable antici pations referred to in former reports. The directors have to announce, with deep regret, the decease of their esteemed friend and colleague, Mr. John Vsnner, one of the founders and an influential and energetic sup porter of the bank. From respect for their deceased friend, and in compliance with the suggestions of highly valued shareholders and customers, the directors have (subject to the necessary confirmation) elected to the vacancy his son, Mr. James Engelbert Varner, a duly qualified shareholder. In consequence of continued failing health, Mr. D. Q. Henriques has found himself unable personally to perform his duties as director, and has therefore found it necessary to resign his seat at the board, a decision much regretted by the directors, but, under the circumstances, unavoidable. The directors who retire upon this occasion are :-Mr. John Campbell, Mr. John Jones, and Mr. Jonathan Thorp,who, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election. The auditors, Mr. Owen Lewis and Mr. John Curry, also again tender their services for the ensuing year. The dividend and bonus will be pay able at the bank on end after Tuesday, the 24th inst.

The CHAIRMAN, after declaring a dividend and bonus at the rate of 12 per cent. per annum, free of income tax, moved the adoption of the report and accounts. He said the report was so drawn as to convey all the information that was required. A dividend of 12 per cent. was, he oon tidered, most satisfactory under the present extr aordinary circumstances of the case. They bad, in fact, earned 20 per cent., but that had been diminished by the necessity of writing off debts. (Hear, hear.) It was impossible entirely to avoid risks. The question was whether the board showed proper judgment, and in his opinion that bank was now in as good a position as any in London. It was the united judgment d the directors that they would in future be en abled to earn about the same amount as heretofore, and if so there would ultimately be an increase in the dividend. That bank was about 101 years old, and he did not believe any bank in London had made greater progress during that period. In the last half-year the number of shareholders had been increased about 12 per cent., and he considered that an advantage to the institution. The motion having been seconded, Mr. Lcnoarr observed that the losses recently incurred were comparatively small, and the accounts presented were rely satisfactory. After some discussion the report was adopted, and the meeting terminated in the usual manner. DARING ROBBERY TROY TIII EAST AND WEST INDIA DOCKS. A nthony Roberts, aged 22, a carman, of 6, Ellam-place, Stepney; John Seammelt, aged 22 and Mary dnn Scam/tie/4 44, mother and son, were charged, the former with stealing • bag of sugar, the property of the East and West India Dock Company, and the latter with receiving the same, well knowing it to be stolen. The evidence showed that Thorogood, • detective officer of the Great Northern Railway, and Police-constables Ranger, 199 G, and Knowles, 200 G, were passing along the King's-crass-road when they saw a van stop, and after • short time Roberts carried a bag of sugar into the shop of the Scammells, 31, Cold Bath-square. The bag was then cut open, and the sugar having been weighed was put into • sack. The whole of the prisoners were then taken into custody, and from inquiries that have since been made by the officers it has been ascertained that the sugar was stolen from a stock of bags which were piled in the East and West India Docks. The prisoner Roberts has for some time past been in the habit of loitering about the docks and has been under the observations of the police. Mr. Willis said the prisoners would reserve their de fence. Be hoped the magistrate would take bail, as the prisoners muM find rsponsible sureties to any amount. Mr. Ricketts opposed the application, and said if bail were taken the prisoners would not surrender.

EXTRAORDINARY APPLICATION. A woman of respectable Appearance made the following application to the magistrate : She said that a short time ago her daughter had been Induced to leave home and go to • house in St. George's square in the capacity of servant, where she was now de tained against her vrill. Mr. Arnold—What is your daughter's age ' Applicant—She is only 16. She was brought up by her aunt, from whose house she went to this place. I wish to get her back. The police said that a clergyman of the district was pre sent to support her application. The clergyman in question stepped forward and said he was anxious to assist the mother. Mr. Arnold—lt is useless for me to hear any more upon this subject because I have no jurisdiction. I have no power whatever to interfere. Applicant—How am I to get my daughter back' Mr. Arnold—Your remedy is to obtain • habeas corpus. Go to a judge at chambers. You will find one sitting now. He will direct your daughter to be brought before him, and it will then be ascertained whether she is there with her own consent or not. Clergyman—Where can we find a judge' Mr. Arnold—ln Rolls-buildings, Chancery-lane. The clergyman and applicant then left. SOUTHWARK. DISORACEPLL CONDI?CT AT THE LAMBETH BATHS. Three ill-looking young fellows, named Foley,Denny, and Sweeney, were placed at the bar before Mr. Woolrych, charged with disorderly conduct at the Lambeth baths, Westminster-bridgeroad, and assaulting Mr. Wills, the superintendent of the baths, and • porter in the employ of the London and South Western Railway Company. MrlWills said that he saw thelprieonen enter the second class baths on the previous evening, and knowing one of them to be • very had character be refused him admission. The other prisoners then came up and made use of threaten ing language, so that he was compelled to eject them all. At that time there were four or five hundred persons at the bathe, and he was extremely busy. As soon as the prisoners got into the yard they threw stones at witness. Sweeney struck him on the breast with a large stone, and it was with considerable difficulty they were secured. William Cautt, • porter employed by the South- Western Railway Company, said he was about to enter the baths, when he saw the prisoners ejected. Perceiving them attacking Mr. Wills, the superintendent, with stones, witness expostulated with them, when Foley came up to him, and struck him • violent blow. They all threw stones, and were exceedingly violent. Mr. Woolrych observed that the Lambeth Baths were judiciously established for the benefit of the working classes and the public, and disorderly persons could not be allowed to carry on their depredations at such a place. Foley was the worst ; he attacked Mr. Cautt in a brutal manner, and must pay • penalty of 405., or one month ; Denny must pay 205., or ten days ; and Sweeney 10s., or seven days. The prisoners were then removed. GREENWICH. EXTRAORDINARY SCENE AT A STEAMBOAT PIER. George Rotiason, captain, and William Lirett, mate of the Fairy passenger steamer, belonging to the Woolwich Stenmpacket Company, were summoned before Mr. Traill, the former charged with assaulting Joseph Richard Croney, captain, and the latter with assaulting Robert Goodden, owner of the North Kent ferry steamer, plying between Greenwich-pier and MillwalL Captain Croney said, on Saturday evening the North Kent was alongside Greenwich, letting out and taking in wmengers. The Fairy steamer had come up the river from Woolwich, and on leaving for London came alongside the bulkhead of the North Kent, and on coming to the paddle box the Fairy was stopped, and the defendant Robinson ' ordered a rope to be made fast round the fore sponson of the North Kent. He remonstrated against this proceeding, when Robinson jumped from the paddle-box of the Fairy, seized and held him by the whiskers, and threatened to knock his eye out, and also to knock him down on the deck. Mr. Robert Goodden, owner of the North Kent, said he was on the afterdeck of that vessel, and as the Fairy came up, rubbing all along the bulwarks, he ordered the " fender "to be put out. A. rope from the Fairy being made fast to the fore sponsor:, be went to take it eff, when he received a blow in the eye from Livett, and another blow from him in the mouth, by which one of hie teeth was broken. He received five or six blows altogether, and also had his hat knocked overboard. Mr. Burney, superintendent of the Citizen Steam-boat Company, said he was at Greenwich pier at the time in q uestion, and never before taw • more disgraceful proceed ing. The new of the Fairy, including the stoker, were on bodied the North Kent, fighting with the crew of that vessel, when he called out that be would write to Mr. Giddings, the secretary of the company to which the Fairy belongs, when Robinson and the others got on board their vessel, which then prooseded on to London. The defendant Robinson rid he was compelled, on leaving the pier, to take his vessel alon g side the North Kent, because of another steamer on the down coming to the pier at the time. When he got alongside the North Kent the engineer told him he must 'top the venial to anew up a bolt of the rasehinsry ; and, under them circumst a nces, having 200 passage= on board, he thought be was *nstified in making fast wherever he could. Mr. said 40 years' experience told him that nothing Gould have been dose in so short time to pat rigkt machinery. It was all the work of a moment, and there was no necessity whatever for the defendant's boat to hare gone near that of the complainants.

The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders was held at 1 o'clock, at the London Tavern ; Alderman Lass[, M.P., in the chair. 1 The Smarr/tar (Mr. J. Manning), read the report,which has already appeared in the irispress. The Cselnaax, in moving the adoption of the report and accounts, commenced by alluding to the unusual interest felt in the bank meetings now being held, in consequence of the recent panic and the disastrous losses which accompanied it. A great many causes bad been assigned for that panic. Some had attributed it to limited liability, but it was a remarkable fact that limited liability, companies were all able to pay their creditors 20s. m the pound. He did not think there was much in what had been laid about the " bears ;" for one man had ee good a right to sell forward as another had • right to buy forward. His own opinion was that people had been overtrading. (Hear.) They had been leaving the old ways, lag a great deal of the paper that was offered, thought the best course was to withdraw, and prepare for the storm. (Cheers.) At the same time, they had • better business thaw they had six months ago, and • larger number of new accounts had been opened in the last week than in any prevMus week. That bank was not involved in the crisis, and they could therefore speak as midden. They had, in fact, no help from the Bank of England, and did not require any. Their rebate on bills lad been taken at 10 per tent., and they bad gone to the teed to the extent of 10,0001. in the last half' year. Let them learn from the experience of the bet half- Year that they should sot have too small a capital or aim at tan Loge a dividend. (Cheers.) In conclusion , he thanked the shareholder for their conduct daring the panic, when me shares continued to stand like • rock. (Hear, hear.)_ After some dissuasion the report was adopted, and the Recognise terminated in the usual manner. lisnoroirrix Fa= Hamm, Dsvcursznes bons, CITY.—The to amber of patients relieved during the week ag July 14, was Yedieel. 813 ; appal,s66 ; total, 1,319, d which 690 were sow ems& Itarnmeters have fallen a little since yesterday, and tempe rature has decreased on our south and east coasts.

William Nicholson, Esq., of Basing Park, Petereneld, has accepted a requisition to stand in the liberal interest for the borough, for which there is a vacancy consequent on the elevation to the peerage of Sir Win. Jolliffe, now Lord Hylton. MR. EDWIN CANTON, F.R.C.S.—The past and present students of Charing-cross Hospital have just united to show their respect and affection for the above distin guished member of the medical profession, by presenting him with a testimonial on his retirement from the office of Lecturer nn Anatomy. The testimonial consisted of one of Hoss's best microscopes, about 18 iaohes high, bearing a suitable inscription, and it was presented at a very crowded meeting of students. Dr. Canton, in returning thanks for the gift, dwelt, amongst other things, upon the vast im provement in the manners, habits, and dress of medical students since the days when they were described by the late Albert Smith. - THE APPROACHING "LONG VACATlON."—Yester day a notification appeared that the Chancery " long vacation" would commence on the 10th August and termi nate on the 28th October. It is expected that before next term ono if not more judicial seats in Chancery will be vacated. . ••••••••• Tli6 Quits?* v. Tooxtu.—Mr. Maurice, surgeon at the Berkshire County Gaol, and assistant-surgeon at the Royal Berks Hospital, and who was a medical witness in this case writes :—" I was present during the whole of the trial, and have not the slightest hesitation in saying that rape, under the circumstances described by the plaintiff, could not have fallen place without having left marks of injuries which were not visible on an examination which I made within 24 hours from the time of the commission of the alleged offence. In conclusion, I can only say I was as much astonished by the verdict as by the sentence, and I believe this astonishment was ahared by nearly every one in oonrt." MELANCHOLY OCCCHRENCE.-011 Friday after noon last a melancholy occurrence happened here. The wife of Mr. John Mercer Tharrant, of Theobalds, had for some tune past been subject to fits of mental derange ment, which developed themselves in attempts to commit suicide. On the day in question she was in conversation with her husband and a visitor, and suddenly left the apartment, making an observation that she wished to get a glass of wine and wii:er. No notice was taken of her departure till • few minutes afterwards, when she was seen running towards • pond at a abort dis• Lance from the house. Mr. Durant immediately started in rursuit, but did not succeed in overtaking his vile, who plunged into the pond, and, in the hurry and excitement of the moment, he fell in. An alarm was mined and many persons ran to the spot, but the bodies could not be got out before life was extinct. An inquest was held the next day, and in the case of Mr. Durant, who was in his Stith year, • verdict of " Accidental death" was returned. —Sou& Pastern Gazette. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. —The weather of the past ten days has been of the most favourable cha racter for the prospects of harvest. The brilliant sun shine has enr bled great progress to be made in getting up the hay harvest, and the crops of grass have in many cases P proved far better than bad been anticipated. Some slight check was given by the rains about ten days since to the labours of the haymakers, but the last week has enabled full compensation to be made, and a large breadth of ground has been cleared, and stacks raised in the moat satisfactory condition. A few days more will go a long way to bring the hay harvest to a close, except under special circumstances. All grain and other crops seem to have profited very considerably from the late showers, suc ceeded by the brilliant sunshine and high temperature. As 2 a rule, the wheat+ are looking uncommonly well, except upon thin and poor soils. The ears are full, the straw stout and upstanding, and there is already a decided change I in colour, strongly indicating that the harvest will be more 5 than usually early. Barley and oats have improved a good deal since tbe late rains, and the root crops also. On the whole the prospects of the autumn are highly satisfactory. The question of " labour " is one which is regarded with come anxiety in agricultural districts, and every day tends to prove that it is alike the duty and the interest of the farmer to conduct the processes of agriculture more and more by memo of machinery, so as to be leas dependent upon mere manual labour. Reaping and mowing machines —steam-eines, steam ploughs, threshing machines, and indeed machinery in every form—have inimenselyincreamed during late years, and there seems every prospect that the process will go forward with even greater rapidity. From the hop districts the accounts come more satisfactory. What with the late heavy showers, the thunder storms, and the higher temperature, the plant has, after a sharp struggle, in a great measure over come the attacks of its encodes. The midsummer shoots have grown oat well, and lice and fly have a good deal subsided. But the crop is uneven, and many gardens will not rally sufficiently to grow more than a moderate crop ; still, upon the whole prospect s are decidedly better, and we have now arrived at a point when, with favourable weather, further improvement may be fairly reckoned upon. As a matter of course, the late attacks have told severely upon the badly cultivated and weak soils. Saint James's-day is rapidly approaching, a ff ording the " pro phets" more stable grounds on wh ich to form their pre dictions.—Sumer Advertiser.
