No. 13,587. BANE OF ENGLAND. Yesterday a General Meeting of the Proprietors of Bank Stock was held in the Court-room, for the purpose of declaring a dividend for the current half-year. The meeting wee very fully attended by cumbers of the London and country banking establishments, some discussions being antidpated on the currency, and other matters of commercial in. taut, in consequence of the noire of motion given on last Court.day by Mr. Young, viz that he would ask the Directors out of what funds the Bank have advanced thirteen millions in the purchase tithe dead weight between five and six millions on leans and mortgages to individuals and public bodies—in addition to the advance on Exchequer Bills, amount ing to about nine millions, making a total issue of twenty-eight millions beyond the chartered capital of the Corporation of fourteen millions and upwards. At twelve o'clock the Governor, John' 11. Palmer, Esq. altered :the Own-room, followed by the Deputy Governor and nearly the whole of the Directors. The minutes of the bet Court were mad, and The tiloysimroa informed the Court that the Merton having looked into the affairs of the Bank, had agreed to recommend a dividend of four per cent. on the capital stock of the Corporation. Was It the opinion of the Court of Propdetors that such a dividend should be &- dared r Mr. Yottwo said, before that question was putbe was anxious to re. ceive answers to the several questions of which he had given notice. The Hon. Gentleman then read the questions as above, and contended that it was highly important that May should be answered before the Court agreed to any dividend. The 00VZINOR asked if answers were simply to be given to the questions !—(Mr. Young—Yes.) He (the Governor) would then give such answers to the questions as the practice of former Courts warranted. He was surprised that such questions should have been asked. The advances had been made out of the deposits and profits of the Bank, independently of the capital in the hands of Government. The Bank of England received value for all its promissory notes, and the deposits and assets were employed in advances. Mr. Youtro contended that it was most important that the Pro. prietors should know what were the profits of the Bank before they agreed to a dividend. If they found so large a sum as twenty-eight millions, a larger dividend ought to be declared, or perhaps a bonus was to be given. The GovEason said the quesdos bad before been frequently asked, and he was not in a condition to answer it without lint receiving the authority of the Court of Proprietors. Mr. Youwo said, such a question had not been before pat, and he should use his information as being correct. He contended that such investments militated against the general interests of the country by creating an artificial price for adrift of commerce, and reducing the value of the capital in the country to a very low ebb. The Court of Dl rectors, by their large issues, rendered money only worth three per cent. He contended that the Court should be in possession of some knowledge of the Bank affairs before they agreed to the dividend, and he hoped that before the Charter was renewed, the Proprietors would demand that they should be made acquainted with them. The Hon. Proprietor con. chided by moving, as an amendment, that previous to the declaration of the next dividend there should be laid before the Bank Proprietors an account up to the 31st of March, 1831, of the number and value of the notes In circulation, the amount of bullion in the possession of the Bank, with a statement of the assets and liabilities thereof, up to the same period, classified under the! et r=zive heads. The amendment having been The CHAIRMAN observed, that the motion of the hon. proprietor was not a new one, it embraced a question of the utmost importance, not only to the Court of Proprietors, but to the whole kingdom I and be was anxious that the meeting should be influenced by such a feeling when they entertained the present motion. Prom the tenor of the hoe. proprietor's speech, it was evident that be wu not much conversant with banking concerns. The Bank of England had only one principle of management, which wu to take care that:there was a sufficiency of bullion in possession for the amount of its issues, and to uphold its credit with the country. A Country Banker gave it as his opinion that the Bank Directors in their operations ought to have nothing to do with his Majesty's ministers, other than as acting for a trading company ; the interests of proprietors ought never to be mixed up with politics. After a few words from Mr. BoLLY, Mr. ALLARDICE said he was convinced of the necessity of afford. Ing the most explicit information, to prevent any misunderstanding going abroad to the public; for his own part, he was satisfied that the strength of the Company was unimpaired. Honourable Proprietors ought, however, to know that their dividends were not declared upon capital, but upon the profits of the Company; therefore he contended that some sort of a general statement of the accounts ought to be laid before the Court. The Hon. Proprietor then went into the following statement of the capital, resources, and net profit of the Bank, for the purpose of chewing that there was no cause for apprehenake, and that the annual income was not exhausted s Eight per cent. on the Bank capital of 14,608,8001 .....

How was it, then (misdated the Hon. 1 Proprietor), that Bank Stock was at a discount of 22 per cent. It was owing to t he secresy observed In Bank affairs. The Hon Proprietor sat down after observing, that the Directors of the Bank of France uniformly laid their accounts before the Proprietors, and be could not see why an opposite course should be adopted by the BMA of England. The Cuaraxao remarked, that the Directors amid not bold them.' selves answerable for the correctness of every statement of the affairs of the Bank that might be put forward. Mr. ;mew gave the Bank Directors aedit for posessebig much cer t zze talent in evading such 'nations as had been put b die worthij r : Pro prietor (Mr. Young.) The twelfth bye law of the 's expreedy directs that such statements be mode. admitted that these statements bad been refused in a most manner.-- (A laugh.) The Directors ought to stamp their am& to as that no Invidious remarks should go abroad, which would be the sae if they persisted in refusing these accounts. The Ca...rimer said that the Directors had no right to refuse any information that might be asked ; they would Imply with the Court of Proprietors if the Member, of the present Court - of Proprieties eon. caved that their Murata would be prompted by riblishifig amens" of , the fl uctuations in the issues, &c. of couni 'it reste4 with itte, is OW so.

The London Bridge Committee presented a Report for sealing a deed of assignment of property purchased by them f o r th e new bridge and aP o 6 o 4 7u . rt, upon a motion by Mr. Deputy OLDHAM, unanimously agreed to appoint a Committee, consisting of the Lord Mayor, all the Aldermen, and a Commoner out of each Ward, to consider the best mode for the Court to adopt to show their respect to his Majesty upon his accession. The Committee was then appointed accordingly. Petitions for leases were presented and referred. A petition from Messrs.

Inv' of the Court upon the late French Revolution, of their admiration of the patriotic conduct displayed by the inhabitants of Paris upon that occasion, and of their gratification at the Government of this country having an immediately recognised the new Government in France. Mr. Deputy WESTON seconded the motion. Mr. TWINES next addressed the Court, introductory to his moving, as an amendment—That although the Members individually view with satisfaction the recent events in France, yet the Court disapproving of foreign interference in the domestic concerns of nations, deem it im properto adopt any measures with reference to the recent proceedings in Franca Mr. BOUSTILLD seconded the amendment, which was supported by Mr. Deputy BLACKETT.

I ant the more conscious of this, because I have been myself, at two periods of my life, distant from each other, engaged in scenes favourable to that degree of superstitious awe which my countrymen expressively call being eerie. On the first of these occasions I was only nineteen or twenty years old, when I happened to pass a night in the magnificent old baronial castle of Gleam's, the hereditary seat: of the Earls of Strathmore. The hoary pile contains much in its appearance, and in the traditions connected with it, impressive to the imagination. It was the scene of the murder of a Scottish King of great antiquity ; rot indeed the gracious Duncan, with whom the name naturally associates itself, but Malcolm the Second. It contains also a curious monument of the peril of feudal times, being a secret chamber, the entrance of which, by the law or custom of the family, must only be known to three persons at nom, via. the Earl of Strathmore, his heir apparent, and any third person whom they may take into their confidence. The extreme antiquity of the building is vouched by the immense thickness of the walls, and the wild and swag. gling nt of the accommodation within doors. As the late Earl or ar lirlat r l mt e we seldom resided in that ancient mansion, it was, when I was there, but half furnished, and that with moveables of great antiquity, which, with the pieces of chivalric armour hanging upon the walls, greatly contributed to the gene al effect of the whole. After a very hospitable reception from the late Peter Proctor, F.l4q. then series. ehal of the castle, in Lord Strathmore's absence, I was conducted to my apartment in a distant corner of the building. I must own, that as I hard door after door shut, after my conductor had retired, I began to consider myself too far from the living, and somewhat too near the dead. We had passed through what is called the King's room, a vaulted apartment, garnished with stags' antlers, and similar trophies of the chase, and said by tradition to be the spot of Makolm's murder, and I had an idea of the vicinity of the castle chapel. In spite of the truth of history, the whole night scene in Macbeth's elude rushed at once upon my mind, and struck my imagination more forcibly than even when I have seen its terrors represented by the late John Kimble and his inimitable sister. Ln a word, I experienced ern. sations, which, though not remarkable either for timidity or superati don, did not fail to affect me to the point of being disagreeable, while they were mingled at the same time with a strange and indescribable kind of pleasure, the recollection of which affords tue gratification at this moment. Sit WALTZI SCOTT AND TIM GLASOOWEGIAIL—The filters. /owe of Glasgow hays disgraced themselves by the silly and illiberal way in which they have treated the name of Sir Walter Scott. At a meeting held of the stewards appointed to make the necessary arrange. memo. and prepare the toasts, a Mr. Dougla s spoke to the following ef. feet t—" The toast of Sir Walter Scott and the literature of Scotland am never be permitted to stand. Asa politician, he is the very sere of eseithans—as An historian , be falsities histsq systematically, palliates granny , and decries liberty andridiemies its martyrs. far from being the people name to connect with Scottish literature, reversing the besot dAugustas. dist he foued Rome brick smile& it marble, he found tie literature of Soodand cheeks!, and by his prose left it vulgar."
