BANE OF ENGLAND-THIS DAY. This day, at twelve o'clock; a General Half-Yearly Court of Proprietors of Bank of England Stock. was held at the Bank, for the purpose of receiving the Dividend ou their Stock, as appointed by the Court of Directors. The Secretary baying read the minutes. The Govtavoa said, he was appointed by the Court of Directors to state, that after an attentive consideration of the affairs of the Company.they had thought it advisable to give a dividend upon the Stock and Interest of the Proprietors, of fear per cent. On the question being put, Mr. Youxa said, he felt it necessary to make the following pro- Vuitton to the Chairman, although he was by no means the advocate for the production of a balance sheet, namely, how much was the issue at present of Bank of England notes, how much was advanced "oo mortgage, and what was the amount on Stock ? The Govrasros replied, that with respect to the first, the issue was between nineteen and twenty millions; the second, amount ad- Vaned on mortgage was one million two hundred thousand; and on Stock ft did not exceed, he was happy to say, £600,000. Mr. yotrxa thought the issue too much for the present exigen cies of the country, and hoped great care would be taken in ad vancing money to persons only possessing speculative or artificial capital. The GOIIIMNOR said, no Lou had as yet taken place. Some con versation arose as to the prevention of forging transfers of stock, in allusion to the late extensive forgeries; and it was proposed to establish correspondents, to check the powers of attorney, in every principal town, thereby totally preventing frauds. The Govaimos said this course would be attended with incalculable inconvenience, but assured the ProprittOrs that the subject was under the consideration of the Directors. The COMM then adjourned, the dividend being carried, and made payable on the 6th April next. Princess SOPHIA visited the Duke of YORK yesterday. Sir CHARLES STUART, Ambassador to the Court - of Brazil, set sail for Lisbon on Tuesday morning, from which city, it is understood, Sir CHAILLIII will proceed as Ambassador Extra ordinary to the Emperor of Blum.

ROBINSON, acquits Lord HASTINGS of corrupt mo tives, and calls on the Court to record its approval of the political dispatches of the Court of Directors to the Bengal Government, on the subject of the pecuniary transactions of the house of Messrs. W. Palmer and Co. with his Highness the Nizam. At a Meeting of the Committee of Lloyd's, held yes terday, it was resolved, that it be proposed to the Sub scribers, at a General Meeting on Wednesday next, to vote 1001. to Mr. Coox, Master of the Cambria; and the like sum to be divided among the crew and others who were on Loard that vessel, for their humane and praiseworthy exertions in saving .547 persons out of the Kent East Indiaman, which they fell in with on fire on the Ist instant ; also; 201. to Mr. BIBBY, Master of the Catoline, and his crew, for picking up fourteen soldiers, whom they discovered on part of the wreck of the Kent the day after she blew up.

GREAT' SHIP CANAL. .~~; We are glad to infer, from the Resolutions which were adopted by a very numerous Meeting held' at Taunton, and which we have inserted in this day's Paper, that this grand national work, bas at length excited that attention in the parts of the country im mediately bordering on it, which its vast importance seems to demand. The capital and enterprise of the nation chiefly centre in London; and it is here that such undertakings as this great Canal, fur uniting the Eng lish and Brisol Channels, must be supported, if not originated. Still, inferences in some way unfavourable to the measure have probably heretofore been drawn, from the circumstance that but few of the persons who resided in the neighbourhood of the propOsed Canal, and whose property it must be presumed would be greatly benefitted by its formation, had, up to a certain period, come forward in support of it. This supposed backwardness on the part of tbe in habitants of Somerset and Devon, if it ever did exist, exists no longer, as the numerous petitions to the Le gislature from these counties in favour of the Canal testify ; and as the proceedings of two very large and highly respectable Meetings of the Gentry, Land owners, and others, held severally at Colyton and at Chard, sufficiently demonstrate. The meeting at Taunton, however, as affecting the proposed Canal, appears to as to be more important in its consequences than any preceding one, inasmuch as we are informed that it originated with individuals,who. if not unfavourable to the measure, were at least not prepared to support it; but who, in the course of the discussions which then took place, with great candoar t , and much to their credit, submitted to the force of truth as there developed, and most cordially united with the, rest of the meeting in a Resolution to support the un dertaking to the utmost. As expressing the feelings' and opinions of that part of the country, and of those persons whom it may be presumed are best informed as to the general bearings and effects of the measure, this decision of the Taunton Meeting is highly valuable. Another important fact, as it was stated by Sir Tho. . mas Lethbridge in the House of Commons is, that out of more than nine hundred landed proprietors, not fifty had objected to the passage of the Canal through their property. This is a sufficient pledge of the approbation with which this great undertaking is viewed by all that part of the country ; as is another fact, that the inhabi tants of Taunton have resolved to form a collateral cut from the Canal, uniting it to that town, of their sense of its utility. This great work, as contrasted with the numerous other schemes now agitating the public mind, appears to us to be especially •deserving of support, both from Government and the Nation generally—the first, we believe, it cordially has, as we have reason to know that the several members of Administration have indivi dually expressed themselves most strongly in its favour; and the latter, we apprehend, has been effectually se cured to it by the candid and minutely elaborate state ments which have been put forth under the best audio rity, shewing the cost of its fonnation, and the revenue that wile be derived from it—which statements have never yet been controverted. The Bill for this great undertaking is now before Par liament. It was read a second time last Friday, and re ceived with acclamations; for, as to the playful observa tions made by Sir Joseph Yorke, about providing a fund , ' to cover the expense of" again filling up this great ditch," coupled, as they were, with assurances of his approial of the' measure, they merely excited in the House (as they were intended to excite) n general smile. Indeed , there has not been any opposition to the scheme, ex cepting from a few individuals 'who are personally in terested in maintaining a son of monopoly, which will now be raid open to public competition. The money too we find is all subscribed for; so that nothing seems, likely to retard the actual commencement of the un dertaking, sOsoon as the Legislature shall have given its sanction. We heartily wish the, spirited promoters of this great Canal every success; and viewing it as a measure calculated to preserve the i rli iv ofto proprt,andtop e shalt alro motetwys be heacot.

We are authorised to insert the following statement which we have received from Gentlemen of respects• bility, who will vouch for its correctness : On Monday, March 14, on reading a paragraph in serted in the Cheltenham Journal of that day, Colonel Berkeley observed to two of his friend!, that the scur rilous remark which had been made on the Berkeley Hunt Ball, reflecting in the most unjustifiable manner upon the Ladies who had honoured it with their pre sence, and the repetition of such remarks in the pub lication of that morning, were a source of so much vexation and annoyance to him, that he could not pa tiently submit to the conduct of the Editor any longer —that as far as he himself had been calumniated and reviled he disregarded their aspersions—but that the insult offered so directly to the Ladies must be atoned for—that the repetition of the attack on the subject of the Ball was the more inexcusable, as he, Colonel Berkeley, had hoped that, after the correct and unim peachable statement which had appeared in the Chef tenhans Chronicle of March 3, he, Mr. Judge, would have admitted his error, or, at the least, would not resume such remarks as he must well know were cal culated to offend, and to provoke a breach of the peace—but that in the Paper which he then held in his hand, the insult was not only repeated but aggravated —and that he was determined to call on Mr. Judge for some explanation. Colonel Berkeley accordingly requested his two friends to accompany him, and to witness any transao• tion which might occur. They complied with his re quest, and understanding that Mr. Judge resided id North-street, they for a very long time paraded that street, as well as Albion street and Portland-street. in the hope of meeting him in public view. Having waited without success, they ascertained that Mr. Judge . was at his lodgings, and they accordingly repaired there. On entering the room in which Mr. Judge was, Colonel Berkeley said, 64 Mr. Judge, I most request to know the author of the foul calumnies which have ap. neared in your Paper, on me particularly, and on my friends generally." Mr. Judge replied, "Whom have the honour of addressing r —Colonel Berkeley an• swered, " I am Colonel Berkeley."—Mr. Judge then °lib:erred, that he should be happy to meet him at the office and explain. Colonel Berkeley said, 4. No— the present time must furnish the information, acd in this place." Mr. Judge declined making any answer ; when Colonel Berkeley took him by the collar with his left band, and a ith his right inflicted a severe chastise ment with a hand-whip, to which Mr. Judge offered no resistance, except by kicking and screaming, 14 MOrel der I for GOD'S sake let sue go !" and similar eapressiona of great pain.

M. °vas, Esq. the Sitting Mag:strste, for his ilelce and assistance, under the follilwing circumstances He mid, that ott lurid iy morning be sent one of his shopmen to deliver 15 yards of silk at the house of a Lady in the neighbourhood, a antomet of his; but when the young man got to the dm of the Lady's house, he wss accosted by two men, who said they were Custom-House °Lacers, and who immediately milted the 15 yards of silk from the young man, and tarried •it off with them to the Custom-House. Mr. Sibley, surprised at this strange, proceeding, particularly as the silk thus seized was, in feet, British manufacture, went off directly to the Custom-House, taking with hiin the remainder of the piece from which those 15 yards had been cut, to spew that it was British manufacture, and also the very person who was the manufacturer of it in the City. Oa arriving at the Custom-Home, howerer, what was his astonishment when he found, that the 15 yards of silk produced to hint there, as seized by the oaken, was not only not that which had actually been taken front the young man, but in nu respect like it,and was,in point of fact,silk of a foreign manufacture, which had been substituted for the silk really seized from his shop. man. Mr. Sibley, his shopman, and the manufacturer, all declared this substitution to have taken place, and desired to be confronted with the Officers who had seized th e silk ; when, to his no little surprise, he found them to be two of the men who had paid him so long a visit on the 10th February, and whose conduct, during that visit, is still under investigation. Mr. Sibley asked if be could not have a warrant to search the houses of the two Officers in question? Mr. Dvz said, he could not gram such a warrant under the cumstances, because the property was not taken previously ; but he though[ Mr. Sibley had better leave the whole case, with the neces sary representation, in the hands of the Commissioners of the Cus. terns, who, there could be no doubt, would see that ample junks should be done under all the circumstances.

The Cyclops of the Ring, Harry Harmer, took his benefit yes terday, at the Fives' Court. The day was excessively cold, but still there was a respectable muster at the wreak and the sports were excellent. The business of the day commenced by a" set-to" between Old Lennox and a young fellow of the name of Chapman, in which Lennox had not a chance. Indeed. this old cove would be much mere . appropriately employed in raMing for a coffin, than in seeking aviation on the stage. Jinn, the Sailor Boy, and Young Josh, made a very fine vbew off, and raMened each other with great spirit and effect. The Sailor Bey was too quick for Josh, and peppered his canister well. Tom Oliver and Be. Burns gave a 'fine specimen of the old school, and skewed the advantage of science ever nature. Young Gas and Lock next called " attendee," when the format' evinced such superior style and force of hitting, as scarcely left Lock a leg to stand on—he was knocked down several times in succession, although a taller man than his opponent—and was at length obliged to take the gloves off amidst cries of " enough" from the spectators, who seemed to think be incurred great per sonal risk from further exertion. Young Gas is a terrific hitter, both right and left, although possessed of no science. He subse: queatly challenged Gaynor for MCI, at the desire of a Gentleman in the Court, who was so pleased with his talents, that be adopted him at once as his magi. Gaynor accepted the challenge, and a match will be made forthwith to light in May. Goodman and Reid made a pretty display, in which there were some heavy exchanges; but Goodman is decidedly the best man. A Padander of the name of Higgins now intimated a wish to take the gloves for the first time in his life, and in order that he might get a good lesson, Barney Aaron was landed to him as a cus tomer. Several rounds took place, to the great derangement of poor Pat's features; and from the quantity of claret which was tapped, the genera opinion was, that the Chancellor of the six- chequer had abolished the duty ea that liquor altogether. Pat had not the scintilla of science, but skewed game to the last—and from the quantity which he took before he was satisfied, Barney was glad it was over. A heavy shower of browns rewarded the novice for his manly conduct. Beano and Ned Brown (the Sprig at Myrtle) afforded a treat to the amateurs. But Belasco's superior tactics put all Brown's Ilse fighting aside • in the end Brows received a Sob hit on the nese , which, in real action, would have been a finisher—asit was, the cork Sew as from a bottle of Wright's best effervescent. _ _ The Issowball (Richmond) and Mum succeeded. and showed off with all the grace of first-rate Masters of the Art ; as a fie up, Harry Harmer and George Cooper exhibited with veteran t.- lents. Harry then returned thanks in his best style, and the Curt was adjourned. Sampson has arrived from Birmingham, and is willing to enter the ring with White-beaded Bob, who can be matched with him. K —r, the veteran amateur, has undertaken, for a sum, to row, in four hours and a half, to Gravesend. Also to sculls where, across the river with one scull, in less time than a Waterman 14m.1 MSS and back with a pair. Odds have been taken that he performs both of these undertakings. THE MARKETS.
