The success that has attended the establishment of Joint Stock Barks in London, and the advantages they have afforded to the public, are evident from the large amount a ntrustea's to their care, the balances in their hands being, at the Paid of 1861, upwards of fifty millions sterling. A 11 . FJ advantages to the proprietors are shown by the d L e ays they reeeive,'wlslch vary from 6 to 24 per cent., and the present value of the shares.

From these facts it appear; that the paid-up capital of "se six banks, amounting to £3,400,000, represent a presen t biark o t value to the shareholders of upwards of £10,000,000.

A prominent feature is this Bank is the limitation of the liability of shareholders to the amount of their shares, thus giving confidence to a most desirable class of investors, who en principle have abstained from holding shares in joint stock banks with unlimited. liability.

The news of the naval engagement at Fort Monroe, full details of which will be found below, New York on the neaiguhsetdofinstuennsdeayezlacsitt.ement in The opportune arrival at Fort Monroe of the Federal steamer Monitor not being known when the news of the damage done by the Merrimac was first received, several influen tial citizens waited upon the Mayor of New York to take into consideration the propriety of sinking ballast-laden ships in the channel inside of Sandy Hook, to prevent the passage of the Merrimac, the of the arrival of efears entertained. the o u Monitor a t appeared it. to Later quiet n Nearly all accounts agree that the Merrimac, when she retreated to Norfolk , Was disabled. Some statements, however, different from thi s , h ave b een published. The Now York World gives a n accoun t o f th e pilot on board the Cumberland, and says : To epitomise the statement of Captain Smith, it seems 1. That there is no certainty of any serious da mage having been done the Merrimac. Lieut. Wor den is of opinion that three of his shot took serious effect upon her, but he, of course, is unaware of the precise amount of damage she sustained. - Her being taken off by the Jamestown and Yorktown is no proof that she was injured, as it may have been done to save coal or to trap the Monitor into Nor folk harbour, where she might perhaps be grappled and captured. 2. If uninjured, there is really nothing to pre vent the Merrimac getting to sea, as she is a swifter vessel by three miles per hour than the Monitor. The guns of Fortress Monroe would fall short, and there is not one chance in fifty that the big Union gun at the Rip Raps would hit her ; if it did, of course, the 4501 b. ball it carries might stave her sides in ; but it is not safe to calculate upon any such fortunate accident. 3. It is demonstrated by the result of Sunday's fight, that it is of little use to fire balls of less weight than 2001bs. at this naval monster. The Monitor's 1801 b. balls were of but little more effect than the 1001 b. shot of the Cumberland. Neither the Monitor nor the Merrimac can be boarded. Hence the difficulty of providing against the attack, or of attempting to capture these vessels. The Tribune says that Lieut. Worden, of the Monitor, was certain he put three shots into the Merrimac ; and the general opinion at Fort Monroe was that she was disabled, but Mr. Fox, Assistant- Secretary of the Federal navy, was of a contrary opinion. _ _ The following is the general account of the en gagement : FORTRESS MONROE, MARCH 9. (Via Baltimore, March 10.) The long-expected steamer Merrimac has at last made her appearance, and yesterday afternoon, assisted by two gunboats, made an attack upon Newport News and the naval vessels stationed at that place. The sides, bows, and stem of the Merrimac were covered with sloping iron plates, extending about two f9et below the water line, and meeting above them like tho roof of a house. At her bows, on the water line, are two sharp iron points, resembling ploughs, about 6 or 7 feet apart. Her number of guns is stated at 12, but she might not have had so many. At her bows were seen two guns, projecting from long elliptical portholes. The design of the enemy did not become apparent until between 1 and 2 o'clock, when the Minnesota had got under way for the scene of action. The alarm gun of Fortress Monroe being fired, the whole garrison promptly turned out under arms. Col. Bendix briefly ad dressed the 10th regiment of New York, and all tes tified the greatest delight at the prospect of action. After being under orders for some time, the garrison I was dismissed until they should be wanted. The rebel boats steadily pursued their way to Newport News. The first shot was fired by the frigate Cum berland, at a little past 2 o'clock. The Sewall's Point Battery then opened on the Minnesota, which was passing, and the Sawyer gun from the Rip Raps replied with a few shots at Sewall's Point, A l thick smoke was soon seen to rise above Newport News Point, indicating that the battery there, as well as the Cumberland and Congress, were en gaged. The details of the action could not be seen from the fort, but a telegram was received announc ing that the Cumberland an d Merrimac were in close quarters. As the latt er approached the Cum pay any att en ti on t o t h e Con guns at the C um b er l an d th e sharp bows, making g be r r e l s a s n . d A s f h te e r fi di r d in n g o t t wo line seven feet in jaggedextent. Merrimac Th struck ohleeinc u r diately commenced mh h eb e re r rai w ta i nt thdhe water a r mt ee to sink, when the Merrimac backed a short dis tance, ran into her a second time, making another terrible hole in her, which caused the water to run into her at a furious rate. The Cumberland con tinued firing until the water began to enter her portholes, when she careened over slowly, and finally sank at about three O'clock, The Newport News battery and the guns of the Cumberland fired continually at the Merrimac, but without apparent effect. The Minnesot a u nfortunately got aground on the w ay up, and cou ld afford but littl e ass i s t ance . Sh o rtly before th re e o'clock the Yorktown and Jamestown arrived from up James River. Th e former was disabled early in the afternoon, and put ashore for repairs. After sinking the Cumberland, the Merrimac turned to the Congress, than an hour afterwards a white flag wa s hoisted gv;; on board the Congress. A rebel was in less boat immedi ately went alongside, and the off d eers and marines being taken prisoners, the F.:coinen were allowed to escape to the shore. at Fortre ,04' —6l frigate St. Lawrence arrived The United 5 4 4 Mourn during t h o afternoon, and with- After four o'clock the Merrimac continued to throw shells into the camp at Newport News, while the Jamestown and other rebel gunboats commenced firing upon the Minnesota, The latter replied as vigorously as possible, and the conflict was con tinued without any apparent effect until dark. During the evening the Congress was set on fire, and at midnight she was blown up. The Monitor arrived very opportunely during the evening. She proceeded up the river, although not prepared to take her part in the action. During the night only an occasional gun was fired. Reinforce ments of men and ammunition were sent to New port News early in the afternoon, but little serious damage was done there, and no one was killed. This morning the conflict was renewed. Until the presence of the Monitor was known to the Mer rimac the latter was engaged with the Minnesota, and but for the fortunate arrival of the Monitor the Minnesota might have been lost. The iron-clad vessels, the Merrimac and the Monitor, engaged each for two or three hours at long and short range. No perceptible effect was produced upon either. They went alongside each other once or twice, and seemed almost to run each other down ; but they soon re-appeared, to renew the action. The Ericsson battery finally succeeded in forcing a long hole in the port side of the Merri mac, and she retired with the whole rebel fleet to Norfolk about one o'clock. The United States gunboat Oregon was struck by the Merrimac in her boiler, and was blown up this morning. The United States gunboat Zouave was also seriously damaged, and was obliged to return. The principal loss of life was on board the Cum berland, where, it is thought, as many as 150 men must have been killed or drowned. But six lives were lost on board the Minnesota, according to the report of one of her officers. A rebel gunboat was cut in two yesterday afternoon by the Cumberland. The crew of the Minnesota were brought on here this afternoon. With the assistance of the steamer S. B. Spalding, the Minnesota has been got off, and she is now on her way here. She has received numerous shots, but no serious damage. The escaped crews of the Cumberland and Congress have arrived at the Fortress Monroe. The Monitor has come up to the expectations that were formed of her, and has proved being im pregnable to the heaviest shot at close quarters. She behaved remarkably well on her passage from New York, and although the sea covered her decks completely at times, her speed did not seem to be at all diminished. To her presence here may be attri buted the safety of the Minnesota and other vessels in port, and the final disabling of the Merrimac, which had previously been proof against everything. Captain Worden, of the Monitor, was wounded in the head while looking out of.the wheel-house. No other accident of any kind occurred to the battery or crew. We have not yet any list of the killed and wounded. Naval men here are generally of opinion that, considering everything, the rebels had the worst time of it. Without the Monitor the damage might have been much more serious. FORTRESS MONROE, MARCH 10. The :Minnesota was Ifinally got off during the night, and returned to her usual station at the en trance to the roads. She is again ready for action. The Monitor came down this morning, and was greeted with enthusiastic cheers by the various ves sels of the harbour. General Wool and staff and Assistant-Secretary Fox went on board this after noon. She was found not to be damaged in the slightest degree, and is as well prepared as ever for another conflict. Her performance was perfectly satisfactory to her officers and men, and they all speak of her in the highest terms. The gunboat Whitehall took fire at 2 o'clock this morning, and was totally destroyed. Three of her guns, which were shotted, went off at intervals, and a shell burst in the air, scattering its fragments aboat the fort, without, however, doing any da mage. Another gun was saved by the harbour crew. The British sloop of war Rinaldo arrived here his forenoon from off Charleston. She bring no news, The latest estimates of the number killed on the Congress is 50, including three officers, Lieut. Jo. B. Smith, commanding ; acting master Thomas Moore, and coast pilot William Rhodes. 27 are reported wounded, and 40 more were taken prisoners, none of them officers. On board the Cumberland, the Rev. Mr. Lam bart, the chaplain, was drowned, and master's mate, Sohn M. Harrington, was killed. But few of the wounded escaped to the shore. The number of killed and wounded is stated at about 150. On the Whitehall three were killed, and two or three were wounded. _ _ On the Oregon, which received a shot in her boiler, three men were wo..asa, not officers. Tho Wm. Wheldon received a shot in her boiler, and the Rescue was damaged in her machinery. The former was towed to Baltimore, The Minnesota lost six men killed and 17 wounded, not including any officers,as far as known. She is said to have received quite a number of shots, The Roanoke received but two shots, and little damage was occasioned by them. It is generally believed now that the Merrimac must have received serious damage. It is the testi mony of some that she was considerably listed on one side as she went behind Sewall's Point, probably to repair some leak above the water-line. On the 10th, on the line of the Potomac, the Fe deral gun-boats captured the battery Cockpit Point. Tho Confederates burnt their tents, the steamer Page, and all the other craft in the creek. Gen. Hooker reports from Budd's Ferry that all the enemy's batteries in front of his line aro aban doned and their guns spiked. This raises the block ade of the Potomac. The army of the Potomac, by order of the Presi dent, has been divided into five army corps, the first commanded by Major-General M‘Dowell, and the others by Brigadiers-General Sumner, Heintzelman, Keyes, and Major-General Banks. Col. Geary left Lovettesville on Friday night, 7th inst., and, marching through Wheatland and Water ford, put the rebel forces to flight. Early the next morning he took unresisted possession of Leesburg, which they considered one of their greatest strong ' holds, and the stars and stripes now wave over the town and the surrounding forts. The Confederate army, under Gen. Hill, fell back towards Middle burg. The New York, _Herald publishes the following details of the evacuation of Manassas — WASHINGTON; MARCH. 11. The advance of a portion of the grand army of the Potomac on Iklouday produced in the city and throughout the camps a scene of indescribable ex citement. The reveille was sounded at 2 a.m., and the pre parations for the march began. Few, even among the officers, knew whither they were going. There was no shrinking, no hesitation, no skulking. Many who were on the cick list sprang from their beds and took their places in the ranks, although some, unable to sustain the fatigue of the march, were subsequently placed upon the baggage waggons. The movement was not attended with the noksy de monstration which charactered the advance to Cen treville last summer, but was marked with an ex pression of cool determination and confidence, manifested in the step and bearing, and perfect dis cipline of the men. The advance was really begun several days a go. Since Friday last regular approaches have been made daily towards Centreville by portions of G."' Franklin's and Gen. M'Dowell's divisions. On Sunday, the 2d and 3d New Jersey Regiments and a squadron of Lincoln cavalry occupied Sangster's station, on the Orange and Alexandria Railroad. On arriving at this point a detachment of rebel cavalry was surprised. In the skirmish Lieut. Hid were killed, and a killed, and a ser dgeenan, t of w th ou e lieutenant and 11 men c a p tured. O n Monday a n L d i e n d c o ; n th c r a e v e a l r r y e b , e lv s a s detachment of the Ist New Jersey Regiment and a company of Lincoln cavalry entered Centreville. It was ascertained that the rebels had evacuated the place late on Sunday night. Extensive earthworks were found here, but all the guns had been removed, A large quantity of beef and flour had been left be hind by the retreating rebels. Gen. M'Clellan has taken up his quarters at Fair fax Court-house. Before dark last night Col. Averill, with a large body of cavalry, entered the rebel works at Manas sas Junction. In their march from Centreville no signs of the rebels were discovered. The fields were silent and deserted, the fortifications bare and black ened, The rebels had slit their tents with their swords, and set fire to everything inflammable. 'No thing was left except bare and blackened walls, and the smouldering ashes of their tents, baggage, equip ments, and stores, for which they could find no transport. Intelligence gathered at Manassas tends to show that the rebel army has retired to Gordonsville. It is not thought they will attempt to make a stand at that point, as the country is open and level, and unsuited for defensive war rare. Gordonsville is probably simply the rendezvous, as it is the junc tion of the Orange and Alexandria with the Vir ginia Central Railroad. The only point at which they can with any confidence attempt to make a stand is near the junction of the Frederick and Potomac with the Central Virginia Railroad, in which neighbourhood the North Anna and South Anna rivers unite and form the Pamankey river, about 20 miles north of Richmond. At this point the country, is much broken, and admirably fitted for defence. It is reported that in their retreat the rebels de stroyed the railroad bridge across the north fork of the Rappahannock. The following despatch has just been received from Fairfax Court-house :—" Several officers, who went several miles beyond Manassas to-day, re turned here this evening. At Centreville, which they took on their route, they found the forts abandoned, but hundreds of log huts, ample to accommodate fully 30,000 men, were standing. The railroad track was undisturbed, except the bridges which had been blown up," Everything at Manassas indicates precipitate flight on the part of the rebels. All the log huts are standing, and an immense number of canvas tents. Some caissons were found, but no guns. Piles of bullets and cartridges were left in the tents, and an immense quantity of quartermaster stores. In one place were discovered about 30,000 bushels of corn, which had been set fire to, and were still smouldering. People in the vicinity state that prior to the evacuation there were 100,000 rebel troops at Manassas and Centreville. Covering the breast works were what appeared to be cannon, but on ex amination they proved to be wooden affairs, got up for effect. The New York Times of March 12 publishes the following general news : Official information of the falling back of the rebels recently encamped near Occoquan Creek reached Washington yesterday. They destroyed everything they could not carry on their backs, and left on Saturday. When leaving, they in formed the people of Occoquan that they were to fall back to the Rappahannock. We have now the official report from General Curtis of the great battle in Arkansas : " Headquarters Army of the South-west, Pea Ridge, Arkansas, March 9. "General,—Ox Thursday, the 6th inst., the enemy commenced an attack on my right wing, assailing and following the rear-guard of a detach ment under General Sigel to main lines on Sugar Creek Hollow, but ceased firing when he met my reinforcements, about 4 p.m. " During the night I became convinced that he had moved on so as to attack my right or rear. Therefore, early on the 7th I ordered a change of front to the right—my right, which then became my left, still resting on Sugar Creek Hollow. "This brought my line across Pea Ridge, with my new right resting on Head Cross Timber Hollow, which is the head of Big Sugar Creek. I also ordered an immediate advance of the cavalry and , light - e artillery under Colonel Osterhaus, with orders to attack and break what I supposed would be the reinforced line of the enemy. This movement was in progress when the enemy, at 11 a.m., commenced an attack on my right. The fight continued mainly at these points during the day, the enemy having gained the point held by the command of Colonel Carr at Cross Timber Hollow, but was entirely repulsed with the fall of the commander, M'Culloch, in the centre, by the forces under Colonel Davis. The plain of attack on the centre was gallantly carried by Colonel Osterhaus, who was immediately sustained and supported by Colonel Davis's entire division, supported also by General Sigel's com mand, which had remained till near the close of the day on the left. Colonel Carr's division held the right, under a galling, continuous fire, all day. In the evening, firing having entirely ceased in the centre, and the right being now on the left, I rein forced the right by a portion of the Second Divi ' sion, under General Asboth. Before the day closed I was convinced that the enemy had concentrated his main force on the right. I commenced another change of front forward, so as to face the enemy where he had deployed on my right flank in a strong position. The change had only been partially effected, but was in full progress, when, at sunrise on the Bth, my right and centre renewed the firing, which was immediately answered by the enemy with renewed energy along the whole extent of his line. My left, under Gen. Sigel, moved close to the hills occupied by the enemy, driving b im from the heights, and advancing steadily towards the head of the Hol lows. I immediately ordered the centre and right wing forward, the right turning the left of the enemy, and cross-firing . on his centre. This final position of the enemy was in the arc of a circle. A charge of infantry, extending throughout the whole line, completely routed the whole rebel force, which re tired in great confusion, but rather safely, through the deep impassable defiles of cross timber. Our loss is heavy. The enemy's can never be ascertained, for their dead are scattered over a large field. Their wounded, too, may many of them be lost and perish. The force is scattered in all directions, but I think his main force has returned to Boston Mountai.n.s.;, "General Sigel follows him towards the while my cavalry is pursuing him towards mountains, scouring the country, b r inF o l r.. o_ in General pri soners, and trying to find the rebel :A the entire Van Dorn, who had the command of ei tt i s q v force at this, the Battle of Pea lt . ll , l; ,;the dead and " I have nut as yet statemeout you to a despatch which I i but I will refer so as to justisfy : e lf r ' t'ory;ard very boon.

Colonel Brownrigg, before proceeding to reply on the part of the prosecution, read a statement in re ference to a matter which, he said, was a breach of privilege. He alluded to a letter, the publivation of Which was refused in the Irish Times, in .con sequence of misstatements in it, but which was e t alils.heTdhienletthteer was signed " Roger_ g 31aila: J Palmer, Captain Mayo Rifles." It co n t ained man y subsequently published inaccuracies ; but he (Colonel Brownrigg) did not consider it necessary' to occupy the time of the Court, or his own, by contradicting them in detail. The only point in the letter he felt himself called upon to allude to was, that it would lead to the inference that he, as prosecutor, would have so far forgotten his duty as to have permitted Major ;ones to have called him to account for words spoken by him, without h • airing adopted the obvious course, consequent on such a proceeding. The only reason why he alluded to the matter was, that if he left the statement uncontradicted he might be presumed to have admitted them. He did not admit them. He begged to assure the court that had he received from Major Jones any message or demand for explana tion such as might be inferred from the letter, he would have brought the matter under the notice of the court, to deal with him and his friend as they might think proper. The President said the court never believed for a moment that the prosecutor had deviated from his duties, or had received any message of the kind. Had there been an interference such as he alluded to brought under .he nome of fae court, they would have taken up the subjett very strongly. They were not aware that :inch a demand had been made. Colonel Browrigg then read his reply. It al luded first to the advantage on the trial possessed: by Captain Robertson, who was advised by prac tised lawyers, while the prosecution was conducted by a plain soldier. With reference to the two first charges, the guilt or innocence of the prisoner turned upon two matters ; first, whether Captain Robertson had submitted to the insult which he had received from his commanding officer; and secondly, did he, or did he not, take lawful steps to vindicate his character ? He (Colonel Brownrigg) submitted that the evidence on both points was conclusive against the prisoner. It was attempted to be shown there was a want of energy on the part of Captain Henry; but how could he show much energy in a cause the principal actor in which had proved himself so callous ? A task as difficult as could be imagined was thrown on that gentlemaik— disgusted and disheartened, as he must have been, on hearing the proposal from the prisoner,.that the price of his commission should be lodged before he would meet Colonel Dickson, and anxious, on the other hand, to maintain untarnished the reputation of his old corps. He maintained that there was nothing in the evidence of Captain Henry that warranted the strictures of the prisoner. In regard to the third charge, the intimidation to which the prisoner alluded in his letter of the 4th of October was plainly what occurred in the Adjutant-Gene rare office. He had now, however, attempted to make a case against Col. Bentinck, and to show that acts of persecution had commenced against him so far back as the previous May. He (Col. Brownrigg) asserted that his demeanour to the prisoner on the occasion in question was kind and courteous, and that he conveyed his orders without harshness of any sort: In order to assure himself that the pri soner had acted without any pressure, he asked him, when his resignation was handed in, was he to understand it as his unbiassed decision. An alle gation had been made by the prisoner that it was with indecent haste he was called upon to make up his mind. Why complain of indecent haste ? If a. man felt strongly that he was in the right, 24 se conds ought to have been sufficient for him to make up his mind. Instead of their being haste, he was particnlarly struck with the extraordinary calm ness with which the prisoner asked Col. Bentinck to recommend him to the adjutancy of a militia regiment. The only intimidation which be saw was practised was t;: , ,at of Major Jones, who told the prisoner that he woniZl be almost certain to be tried by court-martial for not sending his letters through the proper channel. Ile the prosecutor) fearlessly asserted that the charge of intimidation having been used in the Adjutant-Generars office, or :previously by Col. Bentinck, was an after thought. Col. Brownrigg then proceeded to com ment upon the affair of the backstiek, and con tended that, though there was a conflict of evidence as to the date, it was clearly proved to have taken place before the 10th of April. He next adverted to the contradictory evidence with regard to the date of the archery meeting and to the other matters which had been the subject of investigation, and concluded by stating that he had not failed to sub stantiate every particle of what he at first proposed to prove. The President ordered the room to be cleared, and stated to the prisoner and the prosecutor that, if it be resumed, they would get notice of it. The proceedings will have to be submitted to his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief before the sentence is promulgated. It is expected that the result will not be known for several weeks.
