MEETING AT A Court of Proprietors was held yesterday at the Bank. It was extremely crowded at twelve o'clock, when the Governor, Deputy-Governor, and the Officers of the Establishment entered. The clovi:neost opened the business, by informing the Proprietors that tficy were convene.' for the pur. pose of taking into consideration the important column. rucations whidt had lately Firmed between the Board of Directors and his ntjesty's Ministers. In order that they might be in full possession of the matter to be, submitted to their attention, he proposed reading thel correspondence as it had o:curred. The first paper read by the Governor, was a letter addressed to the Governor and Directors of the Bank, by the First I. , rd of the Treasury, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, dated January 13, 1826, and was in substance as follows: After adverting to the late pe cuniary embarrassments of the country, it proceeded to observe that, as the panic had already subsided, and things began to resume their wonted station, it became the duty of his Majesty's Government to take a review of the past events, for the purpose of providing against their recurrence. The difficulties which had perplexed the ordinary affairs of the country, proceeded, it was stated, in the opinion of his Majesty's Ministers, from the rash spirit of speculation, aided by the unrestrained issues of the Country B•nks, which had pervaded tbel country. The remedy which offered itself to the minds of his Aajesty's Ministers, was to shorten the duration of the Act for permitting the issue of one and two pound notes till the year 1833, to a limited period of two or three years. This measure, however, did not appear to be adequate to meet the difficulty of the case; for in 1793, when there were no small notes of one and two pounds, a far greater convulsion had taken place. On that occasion one hundred Banks failed.— In Scotland there had been n t failures, owing to the particular regulations under which the Banking system was carried on there; and there could be but little doubt that to the unlimited issues of small notes much of the evil was to be traced. It was much to the credit of the Bank of England, that they bad always con ducted their affairs upon a basis of security to them selves, and benefit to the country. The object of the Government was to bring the country back to a gold circulation, until which was effected there would be no real security against the recurrence of the late evils.— This was to be done by two modes; one was, by the Bank of England establishing branch banks in different parts of the country; and the second was, by the Bank giving up a portion of their privileges, which limited the number of partners in a bank. The Bank, it was thought, could not establish branch banks to an extent sufficient to answer the demands of the country. There remained, then, the other plan for their a ioption ; and in this they bad the example of Scotland as a guide. In England there were eight or nine hundred banks, a great , number of whets were not conducted upon that pin - ciple which could alone ensure the safety of the cow; munity. In Scotland there were only thirty, and these had stood firm through periods of great distress. In yielding to the proposition made, it behoved the Bank to reflect on the dangers of the late derangement in the banking system throughout the country, and say whe ther it was not desirable, for their own profit and sec!• rity, that some amendment should be made? Theßank might purpose, as they had done before, an extension. of the term of their exclusive privileges beyond the year 11133, as the price of their concession. With re-. sect to this it was to be observed, that while on the "'.one hand the Bank would gain an additional safety, which had been endangered by the lave convulsion, on the other they 'Would not lose by an interfetenee with : the 'circelation of their notes. It was notorious, that . their notes did nut cimulate beyond a certain limited space round the metropolis, in any part of the country, with the exception only of Lancashire;. add with re spect to that county some special position might be made. So long as the country banks continued upon Weir present footing; difficulty of greater-or less extent Must accrue upiu the exchanges turning against this country. The consequence to the bankers of this taking place, must be a diminution of their profits, and the ac cumulated tretsute which it would always be found necessary to keep in their coffers. With respect to any fresh privileges, it was distinctly stated that Parliament never would conput to anything of the kind; such things were now out of fashion. The Bank would still remain a Chartered Company, and the bankers of the S ate; and so long as they conducted themselves well, they would, no doubt, be the centre of circulation and c4mmerce. In conclusion, the letter stated, that it would afford great facilitie , ,and be highly advantageous to the country, if t!,e Bank would agree to make the concession proposed, before the opening of Parliament. 1n answer to this letter, on the 20th january, the Governor turd Ditectors stated, that they are tar from thinking that the public confidence- is restored to the extent supposed by the. First Lord of the Treasury and the. Chancellor of the 4schequer ; and that they cannot cistisent to recommend to the Proprietors any con(es si‘on of privilege., sanctioned and confirmed by so many Acts r e Legislature. 'Three days after this answer was sent, the Bank re ceived another cotornunicati trust Fite House, pro testing against the right of the Back to ask an; coin. pensation ; but stating if, as conditions were to be pro `used, they must be forwarded by the Bank. The . I)ank hereupon requitei that they should be placed upon the same footing as the Bank of Ireland, by the Act oftth Geo. IV. cap. 42, which extended the exclusive privileges of the Bank, to a distance of 65 miles from the Metropolis. This stipulation was acceded to on the pan of Go. 'moment, and in this shape the matter came before the Meeting of Proprietors this day. Toe Govsancia then stated, that the Court of Direc- tors bad given the subject their most anxious attention its east" branch of it. He was instructed to submit a Resoluta') to the effect, " that the Court of Directors were of opinion that it was advisable to accede to the proposal contlined in the above . letters, with the appro bation of the Cow t of Proprietors." In answer to questions put by different Proprietors. the (ioveraor stated that the pret•ent proposal did not ho- to the extent of the Bill brought into Parliament in April, um ; that they had been quite uosble to shake the tesolution of .his. Majesty's Ministers upon that point. Mr. Asrow. moved, that the Court of Proprietors present recommend that the Resolution submitted to them be carried into effect. They had, in his opinion, been called upon to surrender a portion of their charter, rot to benefit the Proprietors, but the country.—(Hear) —,tlt the same time, Le thrmght the Governor and 1) 7t-;o:: j.ad dot:e tl.e utnora they could), and, wider all the circumstances, he thotlght it only remained for them to comply with •the detittni'made upon the-terms offered.. They.ptlght to consiFler themselves to be indi viduals in the community as well as Bank Proprietors. Mr. Isamu wished Government would conform. in their prop' sedll,.to the three points of similarity in the Bank of Irefind Net. It was scarcely possible they could venture upon the establkliment of Branch Banks during the brief remainder of their charter. If G ►vernment wished to have Bauch Banks, they ought to consider the time necessary to early their wish into - effect. Charters could only be revoked for malversation,or because they no longer ai:swered the purpose for which V.ey were granted. In the latter case, when they could n• t be forced to concede their privileges for seven years, except at the point of the bayonet, they ought not to be required to do so without eampeosarion. The Gov,iuuson assured the Gentleman that every argument had been used in, vain with his Majesty's Government, to induce them to agree to an extension of their Charter. Mr. 'avant; said, he was of opinion that, under ex isting circumstances. the mrasure would be productive of some good; ard, at all events, supposing the mea sure passed, he considered it could not affect the Cor poration of the Bank of England, as that great body would still eXist, and continue even at the expiration of their charter; therefore he recommended the adoption of the lt-solution. Mr.Youso opposed the measure at great length, con tending that it was merely a theoretical view of tEe great interests of the country, and likely to advance the system of artificial capital which he hod . so often d,- precated. He , argued, that as it had been proved that within the last 18 months, 12 millions of capital bad been exhausted in speculation, this measure was cal culated to weaken the strength of pubic credit and the stab;lity of the Bank, by causing a fresh issue of paper currency. He took a review of the affairs of the Com pany from the year 178 S, and adverted to'the state of, and resources of, the Bank of Ireland, whose charter would continue even at the expiration of that of the Bank of England. He 'maintained, that upon the • grounds of public credit, and public confidence, the Court ought not to let go that which they had now— namely, their charter, in the very face of which this Resolution would fly. The Govenston, in explanation, said, the Hon. Proprietor was I mistaken if he supposed the Bank could be affected, as it was a chartered Company, whose privileges could not be affected. Mr. Your* repeated it was his opinion that the whole was a matter of theory. Mr. RANDLE JACKI'►N, at some length, expressed his opinion upon the question, and suggested a slight altera tion of the Resolution, that at the time it met tire ap probation of the Court of Proprietors, they hoped a full and clearer explanation might be given by his ►Majesty's M.nisters as to whether it would affect the Bank in minute points. The Govearroa explained. Mr. HANKET, tire. banker, said it was his minion that fur her applications should be made to the Minister•, to extend their privileges so as to equal those of the Bank of Ireland, as he conceived it would not be right that the latter should enjoy more than the former, and strongly recommended another effort should be made before they came to a decision. Mr. Dow, of the house of Messrs. Starkie and Co. the bankers, rose to propose an adjournment; on the ground that the debate was of such an important nature, that it ought not to be decided in so short a period. Several other Proprietors spoke, and— Mr. HMS pressed his motion of adjournment, which was put front the Chair, and lost. The Govertnos then put tire original question, which was car tied by an immense majority, there being only six hands held up ' against it. LAW REPORT. VICE•CEIANCELLOR'S COURT, ras.s. WHITTON V. PIKENIX OAS LIGHT AND CAS COMPANY. Mr. SUGDEN, in relerri ig to this matter, which was a motion to restrain the defendants from lighting Cam bet well-grove with gas, on account of the alleged injury which the trees in the Grove received from the effilvia arising from the gas, said, that since the subject had been before spoken of in Court, an affidavit had been• made by Mr. Alexander, a Gentleman of experience in these matters, in which he stated his conviction, that the trees were not injured by the gas, but by an insec that hid got possession of them, known as the Hylesinus Destructor, of Fabricius; or the Scolpsis Llestructor, of Labrielle. Fw ther time was necessary for investiga tion, and it was therefore requested, that the motion might he permitted to stand over for the present. The Vies-Cm apestwa.-- Let it be so. COURT OF KING'S BKNCII, Fn. 3. MOORE V. WITEGERALD. In this case Mr. SCARIATT had obtained in the last Term a writ of Habeas Corpus, directing a person in whose co,tody the plaintiff's child was placed, to delivi her up, upon the producti. n of certtfica'es from the medical men of the pat ties, to the effect th it the child's health was sufficiently recovered to enable her to travel. The Learned Gentleman said to-day, that one of the Medical practitiootrs w he attended the child hid made an affidavit t.i the ctf. ct required by their Lordships, and the oiler otessi mist Gentleman hed declared, that he too thought th! health of the child was testoted, Out refu , ed to mike affidev:t, or sign a certificate to thu effect. The Calicr inquired• if Mr. Scarlatt had an affidavit which stated that the Physician had so expressed himsell Scasuert replied that he had; but upon the terms on which the writ was strained, it could not be drawn up. The entas Justice—Upon Sling that affiliavit, let the Makes Corpus image. RUSINESS Of TUB COURT. Ills Majesty's Werrant, authorising the Judges of the Court of :King's /Swish to sit for the dispatch of business after Term was read. tad the Qatar Justice said, in °bedlam to that warrant, three of the Judges would sit in the Bail Court, from the 14th to t►e ISth of October. GRIT V. MEMP. This was an action on a promissory note for 301. in. domed by William Kemp, in pencil marks. The Jury, subs trial, found a verdict fee the pl4lndff. Mr. F. Pow.outs, on a former day, moved to enter a nonsuit, on the ground that the indorsement in pencil was no indorsement, and cousequeney at variance with the averment. The question was, whether a pencil in dorsement WAS sufficient to satisfy the averment? The [.earred Counsel contended first, that an indorsement in pencil was no indorsement in law ; and secondly, that it was contrary to the usage and practice of merchants. Mr. Tussstosit this day opposed the application, and cited the case of Jeffrey v. Walton, in Star kie. That was an action for the hire of a hone. The plaintiff had written upon a card in pencil—" Six weeks at Sao guineas." The card was admitted as evidence to prove the hire of the horse. Lord Ellenborough applied the technical rule of law to the case, and held that they could not vary the effect of pencil-writing by parole. Other cases were cited, in which the intention of pawns was chiefly considered, and their writing.taken in proof, of the intention, whether in pencil dr not. The will of a dying soldier, written - upon the sand with the point of his sword, was held to be valid in law. It was con iended,upott all the facts of the case, that the Court had no ground upon which they could disturb the verdict. The Loan enure Jcsum-.-There is no authority to say writing must be with ink, therefore an indorsement may be in pencil. I think there is nq great danger that our decision in favour of the plaintiff will become a bad 'example. The imperfection of this mode of writing is so great, that persons will be induced to take -care they have indorse:dents in ink. There may be particUlar occasions, however, whin ink cannot Wad. The other JUDGICS were also of opinion the indorsement was good.--Judgmeht for the plaintiff. COURT or COMMON PLEAS, Fn.& WRIT OP RIGHTo—ANGEL V. ANGIIL. In this cause, a writ of summons had been issued to the Sheriff of Yorkshire (in whidt county the property is dispute lies), commanding him to summon lour Knights of the County, to spy, ar in Court, and choose tecoottors for the Grand Assize, to try the right be tween the demandant and tenant. At.cordingly, Ed. ward Place, Saundirs e Samuel Harbert, and Thos. Appleby, Esqrs.- appeared this morning in Court, with swords gilt to their side, and were proceeding to be 5%% or 0, when Mr. Slijeant VAUGHAN rose and observed, that Fe believed this was the proper opportunity for him to otter an objection to the four Knights who had been summoned, and the ground of his objection was, that no i.otice had heal s. rued upon the:tenant. He was aware, that it had been asserted by Lord Coke, Co. Litt. 294 a. that the four Knights could not be challenged, but he believed that it was now settled beyond all doubt, by the case of Lady Wyndsor, Dyer 98, that a right of challenge did exist on the part of the tenant, because in that case, ode of the Knights, Sir —Pawlen, had been challenged on account of his connexion with Lady Wyndsor's family. In the case of Adam v. Rad nor, the Court would also recollect that Mr. Szrjeaht Pell had applied to the Court to take the proceedings off the file, and issue a fresh summons, on the ground that the tenant had not had sufficient notice. Ia the present case no notice at all had been given ; and the only intimation that the tenant had had, had been in a civil letter from the dem indant's attorney, informing him that the Knights would appear in Court to•day. The Conar asked for the return of the Sheriff, and then spent some minutes in consultation. The Caner Jusxmc at length observed, that there was a question as to the of the fiberiff 's return. Mr. S.rjeant VAUGHAN said, he need not object to that at this stage of the proctediugs, because that will appear upon the record; and if any error appears on the face of the recor d, we shall have a remedy hereafter. He was afraid the Collet would think he was adopting a bold and chivalrous course in challenging four knights girt with swords, hut be must nevertheless take the liberty of challenging them all—( A laugh), on the, ground that they were not lawful Knights. The Caner Justice—My brother Vaughan has otwerved,,that if the return of the Sheriff is bad, his client will have the benefit of it in error. But if there be any error, it ought to be shewn here, that we may decide upon it. Mr. Serjeant SCANKIE said, the retina is now before the Court. We contend that they are good Knights, though they are not distinguished by the appellation of " which (though the vulgar mode of recog nizing a Knight) does not at all affect the legal meaning of the word. Carer Jusvies Bar—The challenge must he entered. upon the record, and then the demandant must either demur or join issue on the point. Let the objection then be reduced into form, and put upon the record, and the:natter can be further di,eussed to-morrow, which shall be considered as a continuance of to-day. . _ Mr. Serieaut VAsicu•st— We challenge them on the swot ground that they are not Knights. It was then arranged that in the course of the afternoon, Air. Serjrant Vaughan should put ike term of his challenge into writing, and should give it to Mr. Serjeant Spaukie ; and that the business should be resumed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GVILDHALL. Joseph Thooymen, alias Prosks, was charged before Mr. Alder man ATICINi with stealing about 40 yards of black silk, from the premises of Mr. Witch, silkman, Ludgate-hill. The prisoner entered the shop about dusk, dressed in a superbly finished military clunk, which gave him a very dashing appearance, and after looking over the stock of black silk handkerchiefs, which he persisted in doing, at the darkest end of the shop, though re peatedly invited to come near the window, he was about to depart, without having made a single purchase, when a part of the piece of silk, which had been lying on the counter, Was observed trailing below his cloak.

Poynter, Esq. for Mrs. Butler, stated, that the iniseltief bad Arisen from the coachman's not keeping hold of the check string. which rendered it necessary to let down a front window, to call to Idin,und prever.t him from taking a wrong direction. The complainant had brat demanded 335. for the single pane, but in his summons be required but 2.3.. Now the •alue of common glass of the same dimensions was 7a. and upon inquiry at the of of the Commis sioners, be was informed that coachmen were never allowed for plate glass, and if he (Mr. P.) had already paid the money, he might have the driver brought there, when he would be compelled to refund lt. Mr. Alderman Aezasa appeared to be of the same opinion with the Commissioners, but the question was ultimately referred to the Hackney Coach-office.
