BA N K Tu stlay a large meeting of Directors and Proprietors t iok plane at the Bank of England ; when it was agreed, s"ter some debate, to adopt the two following resolutions, •is 1..• That thr Bank do lend to Government three millions at th • rate of 3 per cent. per amnion." Lt." Tit.it the capital of the hank lie increased 25 per cent." By this arrangement it will be seen, that the Bank etoital is raised from 11 to 14,533,0001. and that the in dividtal proprietors gain a lxmus of 25 per cent. The new stack, of which 1251. is given in place of 1001. old stock, was done on speculation at 216; which, for want of. accu rately comprehending the true state of things, :Jenne persons represented as a fall of 48 per cent. the old stock having Loren some days previously done at 264. It was however, a merely proportional fall, on the speculation that the new plan would be carried into effect. CITY BUSINESS. PRE4FNT TO THE DUKE OF WiaIINGTON. Wednesday an adjourned Meeting was held at the lifansion-house, the Lord Mayor in the Chair, ff:r the purpose of considering the brit MCITVI of completing a magnificent piece of plate, to be presented to the Duke of Wellington, descriptive of the battles in which he has betn si) gloriously engaged ; but more particular) 7 to lucid down to posterity. some appropriate memento of the important and decisive Victory of Waterloo. The Reso lutions of the former Meetings were agreed to ; the sub stfince of which is, that a piece of plate, formed as column of about six feet high, be prepared by the best Artists, whose skill is also to be exerted in forming upon it the most appropriate devices.—An elegant Shield, with vellcgrnical representations, already, executed as far as the battle cf Toulouse, is to be placed apin.st the base of the Column. The whole to form an heir-loom, and to de arena with the title of Noble Duke. The magnificence of the whole will of course depend on the extent of the subscripticm ; and, as far as can be at present judged, it will be the most superb, as well as most gratifying, present ever made to an individual. ntF.F.l)(m TO THE PRINCE OF COVIOUNG .%ND DUKE OF ot.oucEsTtr.

A large subscription in aid of this institution was eolleeteil in the room by the Lady Mayoress, Lady Bell, and Mini Weed. In the Address to the Regent on the Princess Char - lotte's marria;re, from York, is the following passeme : " It is neither fleets nor armies, neither alliances ;bread nnr guards at home, that can give permanency to that tate to which the love of the people is wanting." • COMMEMORATION OF RURNs. —raw— • The rrietols anti Admirers of Robert Burns, in the-Metro polis, assembled en Saturday last. to the tieinber of about 200, at the Freemastolis"l'as ern, thr the purpose of aiding the sub scription for completing the hlntitiment over his Ifave, now erectio: at I)umfries.

This truly classical speech made the strongest impression on the as sembly. We have endetwound to give an outline of the langtctge. but it is impossible to conceive all the effect it produced. without 'having hasty the tone of manly feliug with which it was delivesed. Lord Aberdeen then requested Mr. Conway to recite a beautiful Ode to the Memory of ltohert Buena, by Mr. Thomas Campbell. which we aresorry our limits will not allow us to insert. We can only further state. that the son of Barns was present. and on his healt`s being drank. returned thanks in a stile worthy of the bon of such a father. Mr. .lierctan, the Secretary. whose eflorts in the cause hive been unceasing, stated that the aubscrtptions amounted to 5:01.
