A special general meeting of the shareholders was held at 10 o'clock, at the Bank, Lothbury, for the pur pose of ow.iilering the agreement entered into with the Loedon and Westminster Bank. Mr. MARK HUNTER pre sided The advertisement convening the meeting having been read, The ('marxa.us read the report of the directors. After an espreaoion of extreme regret at the disaster which had befallen the Lank, it said that information having been re ceived at a late hour on the evening of Friday, the rithof February, that the book had been robbed by a ledger clerk, at Ilentietta-street, named Darden, to the amount 67 . 000 /., steps were at once taken to summon all the directors in or near London fur the following morning. At ' that meeting, aft r coma hat bin with the solicitor and manager of the lank, it was determined that, as it was the first duty of directors to protect their customers against the run which seemed inevitable, it was desirable to seek assis tance in some shape from one of the London joint-stock banks. The London and Westminster beats the largest of them, negotiations were at once opened with the directors of that establishment, and they agreed to advance a sum not exceeding 1,000,000/. to meet the liabilities, the directors undertaking as far as might be in their power to induce the customere to transfer their accounts to the London and Weatniinster Hank. The continuance of the bank after what had occurred would, no doubt, have been attended with an immediate run; and the directors believed, look log at the result of the run in 1856, when the deposits were reduced from 1,500,000/. to 800,04.101.—a reduction which had not since been recovered—a second run would have left the lank, at its termination, no business worth preserving- The winding-up of the bank musthave left them in the same position, and they would have had to pay a heavy pries far that which now cost them nothing. The course pursued hail, in the judgment of the board, saved the company from los., moiety, and : and it was Dot agreed to until other proposals had been made aad rejected. After stating that it was intended to move the appointment of a committee of shareholders, the report referred to the liabilities and assets. On this subject it said that while on the one hand the directors would regret to state anything calculated to pro duce an unfavourable impression, they must, having regard to the notorious uncertainty attending the realisation of assets under the circumstances in which the bank was now placed, guard themselves against making any statement I which might create expectations that would not be realised. They would therefore confine themselves to the expression of a hope that the shareholders' capital would be returned to them in fr'l. The CHAIRMAN then read the proposed agreement with the London and Westminster Bank, the substance of which bad previously become public. He then laid before the meeting a report of Mr. Jay, the actuary, with regard to the amount of the lanes arising from Dur den'a frauda, from which it appeared that the gross amount was 14,9921. 7s. Rd. Mr. CUTBILL (the manager) read a balanceaheet of the assets and extending up to the evening of the 15th of March. From this it appeared that the amount due to the customers of the bank had Lees reduced to ttt9,lloo/., and that the total liabilities, including what was due to the Loudon and Westminster Dank, were only about 470,001 N., against which there were 'wets to the amount of 717,690/. This statement was received by the meeting with marked satisfaction. Mr. Cu rear. added that he had every reason to be lieve that within two months from that date the bank would be entirely out at debt, Whether to the London and Westminster Hank, or to customers. (Chem.) The CHAIRMAN then moved a resolution confirming the arrangement entered into provisionally by the board with the directors of the London and Westminster Hank.

The filmdom' report state; that for the past year there has hers en augmentation in the net revenue of the railway of 36 4-nth per cent., and in that of the canal of 55 per met. The extensio r of trasc indicated by this large addition of revenue is all the more satisfactory, as in addition to the various mums which have been alluded to in previom reports as retarding the development of the traffic, perticu lsly that of the noncompletion of sufficient roads to the various stations in the Luxembourg, the extraordinary wet ness of the summer was most prejudicial to the pleasure trale. from which the company usually derive • very con. siderable pro4t. The working expenses of the entire lenh.h of the railway have amounted to 60 per cent. of the receipta. The proportion which the express of the seetie• from Na. mur to Arlon taken separately bear to the receipts of that section, amount to 56 per cent., showing • very decided di minution nines the previous year, when they were not Ism than 76.46 per met. This diminution is to be ascril.-41 cipally to the Menem in the receipts, bet there liar been also • saving in the maintenance of way and in the cost per mile of the trains. This latter saviors is to be attributed to the more puma! use of • cheaper description of fuel for the locomotive., and to the great can which has been taken in the purchase and use of stores. During the past rear there has been the same entire absence els:estimate which has ohs reel/rimed the workiog of this railway since the opening of the first nine miles in the year 1554. In the preceding re port the shareholder. were informed that arrangement. had been made for facilitating the transport of merchandise from the ports of Holland and Belgium to Frame, Switzerland, and Germany. Th e dime wire have now the satisfaction to report that these arrangements have already produced very bead cial moults. 'To Switzerland alone there have been teens ported within the Let six months very nearly 12,000 tom of goods. The traffic to Germany will, its expected, receive a new impulsion from the opening of the line, now almost completed, to Trivet, while that to' and from the east of Erases will acquire additional importance by reason of the testy of commerce which is now being negotiated between the governmenta of Frew. and Belgium, and which must lead to a cousiderable increase el commercial transactions between those countries. The cultivation of these important sources of traffic, the ob. Milder from them all the advantages which they are capable of affording to the railway, is the object of constant solici tude on the yrK of the directors. A demand was some tiara lime addteseed to the government to admit French geode ming by the Greed Duchy of Luxembourg and mew* Mem by that frontier on the mine favourable condltions as were acearded to goods entering the country directly from France, without having to per through a third state This demand ham been , and at the same time every desire has been shown oo th e part of the government to render the customs formalities, as easy of ful tamest as possible.

The funds remain perfectly stationary in price, with very little business. In the other depart menta of the Stock Exchange great inactivity likewise prevails, and prices in nearly every instance are quoted the sAnie as yesterday afternoon. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were quoted 68fr. 37c., being about the same as yesterday. Consols are officially marked 911, 92, and 911 for money, and 921 and for the account. The present quotations are 911 to 92 for cash, and 921 toll for the 10th of April. The official buainees report is as follows :—luslia Stuck, 220 ; ditto Five per Cleat. Stock, 1001 ; ditto Four per Cent. Deben tures, 1838, 931 ; ditto, 1859, 951 ; ditto Bonds, aa,. dia. ; Five-and-a-Half per Cent. " enlaced" rupee paper, 1001 ; Exchequer Bills, March, sa. prem., par ; ditto, June, 65., 75., dia. Turkish Bonds remain firm, at the late improve.. ment ; the Lean of 1854 is quoted 741 to 75, and that of 1858 541 to 551. Mexican Bonds exhibit a further decline, the last transactions having been at 231. Sales are recorded as follows : Brazilian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1832, 86 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1838, 851 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1860, 86 ; Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 971 (exchange 25fr.) ; Mexican Three per Cents., for account, 24, 231 ; Peruvi an Four and-a-Ha per Cents., for account, 94, ex div. ;Rus sian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 911 : Sardinian Five per Cents., for amount, 821 ; Spanish New Deferred Three per Cents., for account, 411 ; the Committee's Certificates, 51 ; Turkish Six per Cents., 1854, for account, 741, ; ditto Six per Cents., 1838, for account, 551, 541, ex div. ; ditto, 1001. bowls, 58, ex div. The appearance of the discount market yesterday was such as to strengthen the expectation of an early reduction in the Bank rate. Increased ease was observable, and good bills were taken in many quarters at 7to 71 per cent. At the Bank of England the demand was slack. Probably many customers of the establishment will bold aloof until Thursday, in order to avail themselves of the reduced rate should such be decided upon. In the Stock Exchange there was a good supply of money at 6 per cent. on government securities. About 12,0001. in gold was taken to the Bank yesterday. The amount of specie shipped by the Maaailia, which will sail to-morrow, is 124,1891., of which 105,602 !. is silver and 1,_5871. gold. The amount for Ceylon is 2,0001. ; Madras, 280281. ; Calcutta, 790/. ; Penang, 18,2401. ; Singapore, 1,140/. ; Hong Komi, 25,489/. ; and for Shanghae, 47,902/. The latest quotation of exchange at New York is 106, and is reported "firm." It is inferred from the diminished firmness of the exchanges that the receipts of gold from the Con tinent will slacken. Accounts from the provinces state that in many parts great exertions are being made to get off goods to America, in order that they may be en tered before the new tariff comes into operation. For the time, this will have a favourable effect upon railway traffic. A number of Greek bills fell due yesterday, and were well met. It is said that Messrs. A. M. Copchili and Co., Mr. B. M. Marrogordato and Mr. G. P. Zolas, three Greek houses at Manchester, who lately suspended, will all pay in fulL The advices from tilTdney report the failure of Mr. J. Williamson, ship chandler, and of Mr. W. Willson, grazier. The liabilities in the former case were 21,7981, and the assets 21,5401. ; and in the latter the liabilities were 16,1681., while the assets reached as much as 34,9861. _ - It is probable that the day fixed for the funeral of the late Duchess of Kent—Monday next—will be observed as a partial holiday. The receipt of the President's Message has been followed by renewed activity in the Liverpool oot ton market. The sales yesterday reached 20,000 bales, and prices were quoted higher than on Friday. The Committee of Spanish American Bond holders hare issued their report to the New Gra nada bondholders preparatory to the meeting called for Wednesday. This document observes that, as the only modification affecting the agreement of 30th October is the fixing the sinking fund at one tenth instead of one-twentieth, and as that modifi cation was accepted by the committee in the agreement of 22nd November, the decree of 30th December may be considered as conclusive, and as giving effect to the intentions and wishes of the bondholders. Accordingly, the committee remark, it only now remains for them to lay before the bondholders the foregoing decrees, and under their sanction to take the necessary 'measures for carrying out the agree ment. The Brighton Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 1,7211., and the South Eastern an increase of 1,2001. The traffic receipts of the Great Western Rail way of Canada for the week ending March 1 were 9,0661. sterling, being 829/. more than in the cor responding week of last year. The ball-yearl dividend is advertised on Penn sylvania Central Railroad Bonds. The William Mitchell has arrived from China with 795,0001b5. of tea. MONT AY ETIINING. Consols, which closed on Saturday at 92i to i for the 10th of April, opened and closed to-day at the same quotation. For money the last price was 91} to 92. The official business report is as follows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 91k, T 92, 911 ; ditto, for account (April 10), 921, .f ; 994 New wo-and-a-Halfr Cents., 75} ; India Five per Cent.

The scrip of the - New Indian Loan was quoted 104 toe ; the Five per Cent. rupee paper, 94 to 95 ; the Five-and-a-Half per Cent., 100 to 101 ; the March Exchequer Bills, 11. to Os. prem. ; and the June, fie. to is. dia. The Turkish Bonds of 1864 were in good demand to-day, and rose 1} per cent., dosing at 741 to 75. The improvement in the L oan of 1868 was only about iii, the final quotation being 54i to 561, ex div. The latter stock was higher at an earlier period of the day. A fresh fall of about 22. occurred to-day in the shares of the Bank of Australasia. London and Westminster Bank continue in demand, with an upward tandency. In the miscellaneous share market scarcely any alteration occurred. Great Ship shares were rather firmer, at 6s. 3d. to 6s. 9d. .
