BAAX OF ANGLJIND. --....e.......-- of the . Pro- Yesterday, the Half-yearly General Court rt..icors of 1.3411 k Stock was held in the Bank parlour. It ::as also one of the General Quarterly Courts, pursuant to :he terms of the Charter. The Chairman having taken the Chair, a previous resolution was real!, when The CITAIRMAN propoActl, that a dividend.? four per cent. upon tl , e capital stock and profits of the Company should be declared for t'ae halt year, ending the loth October next. Upon the question being put, Mr. GUNDRY rose, ,id oished, as he had often before done, the Court of Directot s would render that Court some account of the frontier in which they employed the capital of the c,,,,pany. They were a Company formed for the con. vrnience and benefit of the public. Their charter was flit given to them to grant them power for their own nrre ag giandisement, but for the general benefit of t i, e c ommunity, and he was most willing to acknow ledge, that a Company conducted according to the terms of the Bank Charter must be of general good. Thisavas an age of test and inquiry, and even that great ai d powerful Corporation (the Bank), large as it was, c ,,,ia mac care that test. The longer he lived, Ike mote he saw bat the Company was most essential to trashing and commercial interest of the country, and he ha .t en former occasions warned the Compaq hen it wa, in as' ate of danger. He some time since opposed the advances made by the Bank on Stock, be c else he thought it a very imprudent measure for the 1; . ,„k to make advances on the security of the debt of the country. It was not thrt security which the Bank ought to take. Ile had also opposed the advance•ell mon ey on mortgages, and he did so because, as they 1 , were forbid by their ch met to purchase lands,he thougo t' they origin not in any mariner to deal in that commodity, n ot but what it furnished a very certain security, but still they ought not to be interested in the value of 1 Ind. lie hoped they would, cn this occasion, render some ac count of their capital; their large issues had been the cause of an artificial floating capital, and had f r ai time increased the circulating medium, bah of which were row t, be withdrawn, a circumstance which must be entirely attributed to the conduct adopted by the Bank, although he did not mean to impute to any Gentleman the least blame. !smother subject he would also call their attention to, that was the reduction of their rate of discount, from five to four percent. He orposed this measure at tie time, and thought it bad ever been preg nant with mi , chiel. He was certain that it had given rise to that rage for speculation which had sent so great a pnr;ion of capital out of the country, in tie shape of the baneful foreign Loans which had sprung up. It Vas obvious that such was the case,tecause the Bank, discounting at four per cent. did not leave a sufficient aute of interest to induce capitalists to invest their capi tal in this country. He would now, without further observation, put a few general questions, which he had no doubt the courtesy of the Chairman would induce him on this, as he had on former occasions, to answer. —Fast, then, he would wish to know the actual amount of Bank ti;:tes now in circulation ? A Proprietor node an observation, hoping that the Honourable Proprietor would put all his questions before any were answered. Mier some little discussion, _ _ _ The CHAIRMAN replied. that the amount of Bank notes now in circulation was £18,400,000, being aC400.000 less than at the same time last year. Mr. GUNDRY wiz.hed then to know what increase had taken, place in the sale of Exchequer The CHAIRMAN replied, that very little decrease or increase had he believed, taken place. Mr. G mann said, that it bad been generally circulated that very extensive sales of Exchequer Bills had taken place by the Bank, and he should wish to know the amount actually sold by them? The CHAIRMAN replied, that the amount of Exchequer Bills sold by the Bank was £670,000, and no mote, and to effect this sale -three months time was taken. Mr. Gur- n then wished to know the amount advanced by the Dank on mortgage? The CHAIRMAN replied, that it was 100,0001 and be wished here to correct an error that he had made at the last meeting, as to the amount advanced by the Bank on S:ock. On that occasion he had stated that the sum advanced was Prom five to six hundred thou sand pounds; but it had since been asces tabled that the total sum advanced on Stock did rot exceed 480,0001 Mr. GUNDRY said, it could not be unknown to the Directors, that it bad been stated out cf doors, that the conduct of the Bank bad occasioned the great altera tion which had recently taken place in the money mar te: ; he would therefore ask, with all submission, what had principally occasioned that alteration in the market which had so recently taken place ?—Laughter. The CHAIRMAN replied, that for any information on this subjL ct, the Hon. Proprietor must go else* here; but it' ertainly was not owing to the conduct of the Bank. A Proprietor here begged to ask whether, in last June twelve mt.nths—when the advance of money on stock by the Bank was first proposed—it was then adopted as a permanent, or mere temporary measure? and whether it was now in contemplation to renew that measure? The CuAtttM Ax replied that the Directors reserved to I themselves the power of acting as circumstances might suggest; at present the resolution passed for the purpose of advancing money on stock Was merely suspended, and not rescinded. The motion for a dividend of four per cent. for the half year ending on the 10th October, was put and carried, and the Chair man announced that the dividend warrants would be reidt on the 11th October. FORGED POWERS OF ATTORNEY. Upon the motion for adjournment, Mr. GIINDRY asked the Chairman, if any notice had been taken of the plan which he suggested at the last Court, for preventing a repetition of the transfers of stock by means of forged powers of attorney ? He bad then proposed that upon every transfer of stock, imme diately the transfer was made, notice should be given to the parties whose stock had been transferred of such transfer. • He was aware that such a measure would not prevent the first forgery, but it would prevent a succession of forgeries, and if they had ten horses in their stable, after they had one stolen, it was as well to try to sive the other nine. The Cnasassan replied, that the subject had undergone great coo idderation and every suggestion had been well weighed; but it was foundinspossible practically to realise any of them. It should be remembered, that in many instances the parties in whose names transfers were mule, resided at a distance from the spot where the Madness was executed, so that it would he impossible to communi eats the information recommended. The powers of attorney were always acted upon immediately, and the Bank must be the loser in the case of forgery. It was found quite impossible to bring into practical operation .any of the suggestions whicls had been made, though the matter bad been very attentively considered, and would, of course, be always entitled to the best attention. A Proprietor asked if the subject bad been duly considered by the Court of Directors ? The CNAIRMAN replied, that the plrn alluded to, no well as se"' ral other plans, had been under the serions consideration of the Di- rectors, and would continue to be seriously considered by them. The Court then adjourned. It was more numerously attended than any we recollect, and the answers given by the Chairman ap peared to give general satisfaction. OLD BAILEY ...-••••6110....-. D.Y. ROBBIRT. Mein Crest, asaand &auk and Mary Ja k tto, 'fere %Metal Slelitealliti a laic* quantity of ilk the property of Messrs. Weeder* aid Co. on the Alth i nstant , i n the puislt of Christ 1 Church, abitallidds,to the entrant of also. The property was prndeced and identified. It consisted of a very large quantity of the most valuable silks of various deserip tiont.--fle prisoners declared their innocence. Mr. Justice GAZUICZ summed up the evidence to the Jufy, who found the prisoners Gable (called by mistake Jago), and, Williasn Crook, Not Guilty—Ed. Mason and Sam. Crook, Guilty, Death. William Sidney Smith, stood indicted for wilfully cutting and maiming, with intent to kill and slay, Mr. Charles Waters, of the Three Taos Tavern, Brook -street, Holborn, on the 16th it July last, between the hours of eight and sine o'clock. , The evidence adduced in support of the prosecution wean 61 prove, that on the evening in question, the prisoner was at the Three Tuns Tavern. One of the persons present complained that he had lost a silk handkerchief, and the prisoner being suspected, the prosecutor said be would not allow such conduct in his house, and desired that the prisoner should immediately quit the house, which he refused to de. The prosecutor attempted to oust him, and the consequence was, a scale ensued, in which the prosecutor received three stabs from a knife, which the prisoner held in his hand. The prisoner was secure d and taken to the watch-houso s and the prosecutor, to a surgeon's, where his arm was dressed. Mr. BRODAICIC submitted that there was, in this case, no evi deuce to go to the Jury ; as even in the event of death buries ensued, the prosecutor could not have been convicted of murder, though the charge of manslaughter might have been brought home to him. The prosecutor had, from the evidence, commenced the stuck, and the prisoner had merely attempted to defend himself ; consequently he was entitled to an acquittal. Mr. Justice LITTLIDALIL concurred in the objection, and directed an acquittal, The prisoner was of course discharged. YesterdAy Inllium Leadley, a clerk, was put to the b4r, on an indictment, charging him w . th wilfully and maliciously killing and slaying, in the month of .I.lly last, Jane Leadley, his wife, in the parish of Shad well. The first witness called to bring home the charge to the rrisoner described the deceased to have been much addicted to drinking spirits, and that she was actually Lipsey on the day previous to her decease. Dr. Robert Blake described the deceased to have died solely from the effects of liquor, which had brought on the first and most dangerous symptoms of typhus fever. The marks on her body would not have caused death, and but for the conduct pursued by her in indulging in the use of ardent spirits he could have cured her arm. Mr. Justice Gamy; immediately stopped the case, and the Jury found him Not Guilty. James Mott, aged fifty, was indicted under the sta tute, for feloniously slaying two mares, the property of Edward Shearman, the proprietor of the Bull and Mouth Inn, Aldersgate-street. JAMS Windsor, a boy about nine years of age, de posed, that about a quarter to four o'clock on the Btit of July, he was standing in the Bull and Mouth yard, when he saw the rrisciner in one of the stables ill-treat ing a mate. After continuing this conduct for a few minutes, he acted in the same manner towards the other mare. The prisoner soon after came out of the stable and went away. The witness then entered the stable, and saw a mare lying dead. The mares, at the time the prisoner was ill-treating them, appeared to be in great agony. Charles Wragg and John Davies, two boys who were in company with the preceding witness, confirmed his evidence in every particular. Richard Betteridge deposed, that he went to the prisoner's lodgings and found him lying on the bed. The witness told him that one of the horses was dead. The prisoner said, 4 4 No, sure that can't be." Henry Surman, a veterinary surgeon, stated that a mare was brought to him on the Bth of July, which seemed to be in great pain. It died soon after. He saw artother which was dead. He dissected them, and found the bladders of both lacerated. The injuries were the cause of their death. A third mare which had been injured recovered. George Thompson, a constable, who apprehended the prisoner on the Bth of July, stated that one of his shoes was at that time covered with blood. He found a pitchfork in the stable, the handle of which bore the stains of blood upon it. Some witnesses stated that they considered the prisoner to be a humane man. The COMMON SYRJEANT, in summing up the evi dence, remarked, that one peculiarity attending the case under consideration, was the absence of any evi dence as to the motive for committing the deed. Under the old law, commonly called the Black Act, a person killing an animal went unpunished, unless it were proved that he entertained malice against the owner. By a recent Act of Parliament, however, the designedly kill ing of an animal was made a felony in the absence of evidence with regard to motive. The Jury Immediately returned a verdict of Guilty. CAFIC OF MR. PA LIN'. Immediately after the COMMON SERJSANT had left the Court, Mr. ARABII took his seat, and the prisoner, who had been out on bail, appeared in the Court, and was placed in the dock. He is a man of very petite stature, apparently about 60 years of age, was respect ably dressed, and wore powder. Mr. Shelton, the Clerk, then read the indictment, which ctrarged him with stealing, in the parish of St. Mat y-le-B ow, four Bank of England notes, for the pay ment of 10001. each, the property of Mr. F. Robertson, to which the prisoner pleaded Not Litrilty. Mr. BRODKICK, for the prosecution, moved for a postponement of the trial, on the ground, supported by an affidavit, that the evidence of three persons, Mons. Emericque, the money-changer at Paris, and his wife, and Mademoiselle Manelli, the keeper of, the Hertel Valois, in the same capital, was necessary to conviction. An application had been made to his Majesty's Secre tary of State for Foreign Affairs, to procure the at tendance of these individuals from Paris; a communi- ' cation was in consequence made to Lord Granville, the British Ambassador at Paris, and on Friday last Mr. nobler received a note from Mr. Dawson, the Under Secretary of State, stating that Lord Granville had laid the case before the French authorities, and up to the time of his writing they had returned no answer. It might be objected that the affidavit did not say at what period .the witnesses named would be in attend ance, but that would be nest to an impossibility, under the circumstances of the case. Mr. Law followed on the same side, and Mr. Amounts and Mr. Auss, for the defence, argued against the application. Mr. Setjeant ARABIN said, that be had attended very carefully to the arguments of the Learned Counsel oa both s.des, and had looked over the affidal it with the gientest diligence, and the Court were of opinion the ap e licalion should be granted. The hill was then adjourned, and the necu‘ed entered into his owls becurny in £2,000, and four sureties in £5OO each, to appear when called upon. S•fEALING A BILL Or EXCIIANOE.—/homes Rice, a respectable leaking young man, was indicted for steal ing, on the lsth inst. a bill of escnange. purporting to be of the value of WM. the property of J.

On the 14,kef Topteileser, witness saw the prisoner, who wished his* to renew the bill for a month, be said that the aetetstois owed him the money, minas a trifle, for meat. Prisoner is a botcher in a considerable way. The bill on the Browns was daectita day. Witness agreed to take another acceptirite Browils fo the value, and sent his servant (Hearn) With the prisoner to obtain it. lie never got the bit back, Fr any other in lieu of it. By Mr. Au.ay.—Mr. Brown has sinee tailed and tendered the £5O for his acceptance. Witness said his name was John May when first christened, but at the age of twelve he was christened John Bo: May. COMMON SERSCANT.—This is quite a new point, and t think you, Mr. Adolphus, should chew that he was first named John May. Mr. Anocenus said, that the first name was his proper same, and the indictment was so laid. The Coos: inquired whether the witness remembered being re -baptised?—He replied in the affirmative. My i Juryman.—l was not baptised among the Anabaptists in the first instance, but both times in the Church of England. Mr. Common Swearer took a note of the point, and submitted it to the Learned Judge presiding in the other Court. On his return he intimated that it was the opinion of the Judge that the prisoner should be acquitted, which was accordingly done. "~ Cfl BILIVNATION. --.......- The combination which has for some time existed in the West of Scotland, under the title of 44 the Weavers' Association," can scarcely be said now to exist. Its deluded members are driliping off. every, day, and there is a dread at head-quarters that there will not be enough of pennies collected to pay the fune-i tionaries who presided over the delusion. A respect- 1 able weaver at the east end of Glasgow, vim had I been so far misled as to contribute to the maintenance in idleness of the functionaries in question, and to lose much time, to no purpose, in attending meetings, began at length to perceive, what was already suffici ently obvious to most others, that no benefit was ac cruing from the Association. He had been for some time working a coarse web, paid according to the com bination price, at which he could n t earn above 6s. a week, and he applied to one of the committee men of the Association, to know what he was to do ? The committee man told him that he considered the Asso ciation at an end ; it had quite failed in what it had attempted; and his best plan was to take out a web at the best price he could get. The weaver, thus at liberty, took nut a finer web, at a small reduction from the combination price, at which he will be able to earn Iss. a week. Nothing can better illustrate the folly of attending to the misleading secretary trumpery than the fact,. that whenever a weaver is at liberty to act for himself, instead of snaking 6s. a week, according to the Association rules, he is, by following his own good sense, earning 15s. a week. Our Reader; will recollect that at the last Assizes, the Judges recommended to the Sheriff and other Authorities, to use their utmost exertions, in ever quar ter of the kingdom, to find out those persons who were then outlawed for assaulting and intimidating the peaceful workmen. On Thursday last, Capt. HAMIL• I TON, Superintendent of the Calton Police, succeeded in apprehending a cotton-spinner, outlawed at last Assizes. He was charged with assault, and discharg ing, or attempting to discharge, loaded fire-arms, with intent to murder. He was taken in the public-house of a discarded spinning -master, in Mile End, where he was drinking with a number of cotton-spinners. He came away peaceably on a loaded pistol being presented to his breast, and his companions were so overawed, that they offered no resistance. He has been lodged in pho g ow Chronicle. " Thursday week, Messrs. Cussons and Wilde, of Old lam, cotton-spinners, gave employment to their old workmen in the places of the knobsticks the fir.t intimationl of this unexpected change was received with general applause amongst the operatives, and the knobsticks' are now seen daily decamping amid the din of frying-pans." As we thought this a very ex traordinary statement, we took the trouble of inquiring a little into it, and found, what indeed we were certain would prove to be the case, that it was a very incorrect one. The fact is, that Messrs. Cussons and Wilde i have not dismissed all their new workpeople, but only a part of them, with whose conduct they hail .reason to be dissatisfied; nor have they, nor do they intend again to take into their employ the whole of their for mer hands. Those of them whom, after repeated soli citations, they have permitted to resume their situa tions, have done so, subject to every stipulation against , which ten months kefore they turned out, and are now working along with a number of those whom the paragraph wr.ter calls knobsticks: Ac to the chuck ling intimation that these latter are daily seen de c imping amid the din of frying-pans; we are as con fident that it is in no way approved by Messrs. Cussons and Wilde, as we are that it is in itself improper to say a word which can apply an approval, or operate as an encouragement of such disorderly and unjusti fiable practices.—Manchester Guardian. Sunday forenoon, at Irvine, a party of eight young men went out in a large yawl to take a pleasure sail. A brisk breeze sprang up, and a hat belonging to one of the party was blown off. When tacking to recover it, the boat swamped, and five of the eight perished.
