The thirteenth half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of the Bank of London took place to-day, Sir John Shelley, Bart , M.P., in the chair. The statement of accounts sub mitted to the meeting by the directors showed that the balance of profit at the conclusion of the past half-year amounted to £40,811 3s. After liquidating the current expenses, providing for all bad and doubtful debts, and allowing for rebate of interest on bills disceunted not yet due, there remained for appropriation the sum of £23,592 6s. ld. The directors applied £12,000 to the payment of a dividend at the rate of £8 per cent. per annum, fres of income-tax, and they transferred to the reserve fund the sum of £11,164 35. 64., carrying the balance, viz., £428 2s. 7d. to the credit of profit and loss account of the current half year. The suit in Chancery instituted against Mr. Tyrrell having terminated by the confirmation of the decree in favour of the bank, the sum received from the defendant, viz., £0,835 16s. 84., stands at the disposal of the directors, who have resolved on transferring it to the reserve fund, which, with the additi ons ma d e f rom pro fi t an d l oss ac count, will then amou n t t o £ 72, 000 . The CHAIRMAN", i n mov i ng that the report be adopted, said it had been his good fortune to be present at each half.yearly meeting since the bank had been established, and although he had congratulated the shareholders upon the progress and success of their undertaking, his pleasure had never yet been so enhanced as it was regarding the very satisfactory close of the past half-year's business. the operations of the bank had been gradually extended, and the confidence of the public had increased in proportion, and that confi knee was mainly due to a firm belief that the business of the London Bank was conducted with great tact and prudence. At the last meeting he had ventured to predict that an increased dividend might be expected by the shareholders, and it was now his pleasure to an nounce that his anticipations had been realised. This in crease was warranted by the profits made during the last year, and although the directors might previously have made larger distributions, they would not depart from the policy they had laid out at starting, viz., that the dividends should be gradually increased in accordance with the profits, taking care at the same time to have a large reserve fund at their command. He then, as evidence of the bank's progress, stated the gross profits made it. each year since 1859, after the establishment of Lhe bank. In 1859 the profits amount ed to £41,683, in 1860 to £53,202, in 1861 they reached £60,602, and in 1862, the present year, to £71,391. Those figures showed what the business and resources of the bank were, and how justified were the directors in augmenting the present dividend. Mr. B. Scott, the chamberlain, after congratulating the meeting upon the satisfactory condition and prospects of the bank, said the figures of the hon. chairman, although correct, might mislead the public, and he would therefore give them the net profit divided and placed to the guarantee fund in each year, which he (Mr. Scott) believed would be a better illustration of the business transacted. In 1858 the net profits amounted to 61 per cent., in 1859 to 61 per cent., in 1860 to 10 per cent., in 1861 to 94 per cent., and in 1862 to 15i per cent. The report was unanimously adopted, and a vote passed warmly appreciating the services of the directors and officers of the establishment. The dividend will be payable on and after Thursday, the 24th inst. LONDON AND IVES7MINSTER BANK. MEETING THIS DAY. A meeting took place to-day of the London and West minster Bank proprietors, Mr. Alderman Si.lomons, M.P,, in the chair, when the directors' report was unanimously adopted. It stated that, after making provision for all bad and doubtful debto.-paying the Income Tax,—and setting apart £2,000 towards the buildings of the bank, --the net profits of the bank for the last half-year amounted to £121,538 4i4. 3d. This sum, added to £5,633 Bs. 10d., the unappropriated balance of the preceding half-year, then amounted to £127,171 13s. ld. Out of this amount, interest on the Rest, or Surplus Fund, at the rate of five per cent. per annum (C 6,250) bad been added to that fund, which now amounts to £256,250. The directors declared a divi dend to the shareholders at the rate of six per cent, per annum, and by way of further dividend out of the profits a bonus of seven per cent on the paid-up capital. The CHAIRMAN, in the course of a few observations remarked that the Bank continued in its satisfactory' career. The deposits for the past six months had diminished nearly half a million, but it would be found that at the present moment they were equal to those of last year. The directors, with the concurrence of the proprietors, awarded the sum of £l,OOO to the distressed poor in Lancashire. VARIETIES. (From Fur..)

The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Mr. WYNN, who was introduced by Lord Hotham and Mr. OmEby Gore, took the oaths and his seat on his election for Montgomeryshire, NIGHT POACHING PREVENTIoN BILL, Sir B. LEIGHTON briefly proposed the second reading of this bill. Mr. AIN WARING second the motion. Sir G. GREY said he was surprised at the second read. ing of this bill being thus proposed, as it had been printed only that day. He considered that such a measure should have the fullest consideration. The bill increased to a very considerable extent the strengthening of the game laws, and gave the police very arbitrary powers in de taining persons suspected ,of the unlawful possession of fire-arms or game. It did not, however, define what con stituted unlawful possession, which was left to individual judgment. He trusted that the house, while he admitted that the subject required the attention of legislation, would agree with him that it was one which required great con sideration. He was not aware that there were any cir cumstances which required the passing of a bill like the present, which, on the face of it, was hastily framed. His attention had been directed to the subject last year, by the receipt of a memorial from 28 chief constables, stating that they were most anxious that the services of the police should not be required directly or indirectly in the preservation of game. (Hear.) He then called for a return, which was furnished, and from which it appeared that, ac cording to the statement of ten chief constables, the murders arising out of poaching affrays for two years amounted to veil. (Hear, hear.) It could not, however, be denied that in two or three counties there were frequent collisions between gamekeepers and poachers. Having re ferred to the existing game laws, the conflicting judicial decisions arising out of the game laws, he analysed in detail the provisions of the bill and concluded by appealing to the hon. baronet to withdraw it for the present. Sir H. STRACEY said that the arguments of the right hon. baronet (Sir G. Grey) were intended to throw ridicule on the bill. He had considerable experience on this sub ject, having acted for several years as a magistrate, and he considered that it was desirable to extend the powers of the police, and he referred to the statements of certain competent persons to show the extent of poaching and the desperate character of persons engaged in that pursuit. It appeared that several of those poachers were men who had been convicted thieves, and some of them had been sentenced to penal servitude. In some in stances persons were detected in the possession of hares and pheasants whose insides were stuffed with silver forks and knives. (Laughter.) In the re turns that were made to the Home-office there was no reference made to the poaching committed out of season, and according to judicial statistics the crime had considerably increased. He contended that by the course the right hon. baronet (Sir G. Gtey) pursued he was throwing the mantle of protection over poachers—(Oh, oh) —and by doing so, over thieves. (Oh, oh.) He thought the police were the most proper body to suppress poaching, and the right hon. baronet (Sir G. Grey), by not introducing or supporting a curative measure, would be responsible for any murders arising out of poaching this year. Mr. FOSTER opposed the bill, which he considered would convert policemen into gamekeepers, By the pre sent law they were compelled to abstain from interference in the preservation of game, which rendered them more effi cient in the discharge of their present duties. (Hear, hear.) He denied that poachers should be regarded generally as thieves, and an opinion prevailed that wild game was not regarded in the same light as other property. In his judg ment nothing that Parliament could do would alter that opinion. He concluded by moving that the bill be read a second time this day three months. Mr. HU NT supported the bill, as he thought any of its defects could be remedied in committee. He alluded to the extent to which po%ching existed in his county (Northamp tonshire), and said that if any of the foreigners in this country would accompany him to Northamptonshire he would show him an extraordinary spectacle, namely, persons taking railway tickets and. carrying openly all the implements for poaching. If a foreigner were told that the object of these men was to rob persons of their just pro perty, and, if necessary to murder those who 'were employed to protect that property, they would naturally express their surprise that the police were not permitted to prevent rob bery and possible murder. (Hear, hear.) He advocated the passing of the bill for one year, and then if it were found to work well, they could pass a continuation bill, or if otherwise, they could deal with the subject by some other measure. Mr. HENLEY said the right hon baronet (Sir Q. Grey) had dealt efficiently withthe provisions of the bill, and he (Mr Henley) would confine himself to its principle. Before the house legislated on any particular subject, it was necessary that a case should be made out for such legislation, which he denied had been done in the present case. Mr. HUNT—It is admitted. Mr, HENLEY was prepared to admit that there was such an increase in the crime of poaching as called for legislation on the subject, and he thought that this bill would have a directly contrary effect on the repression of poaching. He denied that poacher and thief were inter changeable terms, and he cited several official statistics in support of that assertion, and also to prove that there was not any large increase in poaching of late years. There were only a few counties where gang poaching pre vailed, and yet it was proposed to extend the services of the police to other counties. Directly this bill were passed, and the power was given to the police to arrest any one suspected of being in possession of game on the high road, it would have the effect of making poachers go out in gangs for protection. The patrols wculd have to be doubled, and consequently the police charge be doubled. There would be a transfer of authority from the gamekeeper to the police, and this would be making the' county rates defray the expenses of the preservation of game instead of the landed proprietor. Would giving to the police these extravagant powers repress crime ? He denied it, and referred to the abolition of the passport system on the continent which gave the police very stringent powers, and which was found to work most unsatisfactory. He believed that the effect of the bill would be to make the poor combine and to promote crime amongst that class. He alluded to the onerous duties imposed on the rural police to show that the present number of that body would be inadequate to carry out the provisions of this bill. He was an old huntsman, and knew that if he allowed a hound to follow two or three things at once he would catch nothing; and if they employed the police on other objects they would not be so efficient in the detection of thieves. He would not consent to interfere on light grounds with the personal liberty of his fellow-subject, which in his opinion would be the effect of this bill. In many cases, no doubt, under provisions of this bill there would be between 4,000 and 5,000 persons brought before a magistrate in the year against whom no charge could be substantiated. Not withstanding that these poor men's characters would be damaged, and he repeated that the bill would drive all the poachers in the country to associate in gangs the same way in which they had done in a few counties at present, and that the inevitable result would be an increase of the crime it was proposed to repress. (Hear, hear.) Sir J. PAKINGTON condemned the last speaker for what he contended was his endeavour to throw ridicule on the subject. Mr. HENLEY denied having done so. Sir J. PAKINGTON had heard the comsmteonwtshioefh the right hon. gentleman on one of the adverted, and he contended that his manner of treating that document supported his charg e of having endeavoured to throw ridicule on that important subject, which affected the morals of the country and the rights of property.

For the objects in view, he thought such considera tions were not entitled to any weight.

GREY, Mr. BASS said that in the counties with which he was acquainted night poaching was incre,asing. With regard to the power proposed to be given t o the po li ce , he had to remind the house that they had ro ore power in reference to the preservation of salmon than it was proposed to give them under this bill. Mr, LAIRD oppose'', the bill. It extended to Ireland and Scotland, neitter of which countries had asked for it. He should like to know what the farmers said to the bill. They did not object to a mode•cate quantity of game, but it was an excessive preserving o f game that tempted poachers. Mr. BARROW believer', that night poaching was in creasing, and ought to be diminished, but he denied that this bill would do it. Sir' B. LEIGHTON and Mr. STANILAND supported the bill. Mr. NEWDEGATE feared that if the bill were rejected without co nsideration, the house might be said to give a direct encouragement to pullers. Although he did not approve of the provisions of the bill, he hoped the Govern - meat would allow it to be read a second time. Mr. SCULLY rose, and was greeted with a lou d shout. He objectsd to the bill, but would pair °f/' if members would consent to s t r ik e out the word Ire l a nd from it. He nem voted with the aevez.nmeat, hoped the Government would vote with him on this occasion. (Laughter.) The house divided— For the second reading Against it ..........

At six o'clock the house resumed. Mr. W. E. FORSTER gave notice that, in the event of Mr. Lindsay's motion in favour of acknowledging the inde pendence of the Confederate States becoming a substantive motion, he should propose as an amendment, that the house would cordially support her Majesty in the policy of non intervention in the civil war now being waged in America. in reply to Mr. ADDERLEY, Mr. C. FORTESCUE stated that the Canadian Parlia ment had been prorogued without raising the force of the acting militia, trained and clothed at the expense of the Canadian Government, beyond ten thousand men—the number originally proposed by the late Ministry being fifty thousand. It should be remembered, however, that every Canadian capable of bearing arms was liable to be called out in case of danger ; and in such an emer gency there would be no difficulty in raising a large force of men accustomed to the use of fire-arms, and he had no doubt that they would come forward with the greatest spirit and alacrity. No answer had been sent by the Cana dian Government to the offer of a British guarantee of 4 per cent. interest to their railway loan of £3,000,000, made by the Duke of Newcastle, in substitution for their original proposal that they should aid this country in undertaking their railway. In answer to Mr. LAIRD, Sir G. C. LEWIS said that arrangements had been made for the removal of the Horafall gun from Southsea to Shoe buryness, for experimental purposes. Sir M. FARQUAR asked whether there was any truth in the reports that 700 British troops had been surrounded at Kanding by the Taepings, and that reinforcements were expected in China of native troops from India P Mr. LAYARD replied that the latest dispatches from China made no. allusion to such an occurrence, but con firmed the reports appearing in the newspapers relative to the capture of Ningpo, and the death of the French Ad miral Protet. Lord R. MONTAGU, in moving an address to her Ma jesty, praying her to giNa directions for supplying those deficiencies in the former instructions furnished to Sir C. Wyke and Capt. Dunlop,'which resulted in the signing, by her Majesty's plenipotentiaries at Puebla, of a convention now repudiated by her Majesty's Government at home, criticised at some length, and with considerable severity, the :policy of the Government in reference to Mexican affairs, and especialily their co-operation with France in the late expedition, which, eo far as this country was con cerned, appeared to have been undertaken for the purpose of enforcing the claims of the British bondholders. Mr. !LAYARD defended the course which had been adopted by her Majesty's Government, and observed that, besides the claims of the bondholders, there were demands for outrages and other claims to be enforced, and that throughout the whole of the negociations they had care fully avoided mixing up with them any bondholders' claims except those which had been ratified by convention with the Mexican Government. He also argued that, if we had not united with France and Spain in prosecuting hostilities against Mexico the probability was that there might have been a rupture of the friendly relations with those two powers. He denied that we had deserted the French, and justified the Spaniards in following the example of gn g land, and withdrawing from the country when they found that it was the object of the French to create a Mexican King in opposition to the wishes of the people. The discussion was continued by Mr. KINGLAKE, who was in the act of addressing the house, when an hon. member noticed that forty members were not present. The house was then counted out.

A SAILOR ASSAULTING THE POLICE AT THE EXIII BITIONs—AIexander Fraser, a sailor, was charged before Mr Arnold with violently assaulting several police-con stables at the International Exhibition. It appeared from the evidence of 438, that between four and five o'clock the previous afternoon he was at the Inter national Exhibition, when he was called to the French smoking• room by a French waiter, who told him to take the prisoner into custody. The constable found the prisoner who was very drunk, fighting with some men. He asked the prisoner to be quiet and to leave the Exhibition. He refused to go away and struck the constable on the chest. He was obliged to take the prisoner into custody. When he did so, he was pulled down by the prisoner. Chambers, 112 X., came up to the officer's assistanee, when the prisoner gave him a violent blow on his eye. The prisoner kicked him in a most ruffianly manner. Stevens, 245 X, and other con stables came up, seeing the determined resistance that was made by the prisoner, and it required the united efforts of seven policemen to seize him. He was eventually placed in a cab, and in that was conveyed to the station-house. Chambers said that the blow on his eye was so severe that he was then suffering from the effects of it. The prisoner observed that he was so drunk that he did not know what happened. Mr. Arnold observed that the conduct of the prisoner was most violent and ruffianly. The prisoner was fined £5, or in default, ono month, and he was required to find one surety in £lO to keep the peace for six months, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ATTEmerEn SUICIDE—No young woman named Catherine Keefe was brought before Mr. Knoz charged with attempting to commit suicide in the Serpen tine, from which she was fortunately rescued by a park constable named Robertson, by means of the life buoy. Mr. Knox, finding that she had no home to go to, and with the view of taking care of her till it could be seen what could be done for her, sent her to the Houso of Detention. On being again brought before the magistrate, a letter was handed to him from the chaplain of the House of De tention (Mr. Jepson), stating that it she was sent back for a few days, a female officer should be sent to the court on the next occasion to take her before a committee of ladies, who would probably take her under their care. _ _ Mr. Knox sent her back to the House of Detention, for which she seemed very grateful. A COWARDLY RUFFIAN.—Henry Lucas, a general dealer, was charged as follows :—Sergeant Lambert, 12 E, was passing along Oxford-street this morning when he saw the prisoner in company of two females. On coming close up to them, Lambert saw the prisoner strike one of the fe males, who had a child in her arms, a violent blow, and then turn round and strike the other. Lambert then asked him how he could act in such a cowardly manner, when the prisoner replied, "You —can't I do what I like with my own wife." He then told the prisoner he was a police officer, upon which the prisoner said, " Then you—l'll give you the same," and struck him a severe blow on the eye, blackening it very badly, and then knocked him down and either struck or kicked him in the stomach, the effect of which had been to cause him to spit blood. Sergeant Ed ward Nightingale, of the G division, having assisted him, they got the prisoner, who had been drinking, to the station. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner, to see whether any serious effects might result to the officer from the prisoner's violence. THAMES. DARING ROUBERY AT A FUNERAL.—John Cruger, a sullen-looking blackguard, aged 20, and describing himself as a hawker, from that notorious thieves' ccicaly Kent street, Spitalfields, was brought before Mr. Woclrych, charged with stealing a silver watch, value 20 guineas, floor the person of Captain John Lewis, of Reed. street terrace, Hull. _ Yesterday afternoon, at half-past four o'clock, the funeral of the murdered woman Scannell was passing along the Mile• end-road towards the Tower Hamlets Cemetery, and an immense number of persons were collected. Several gentlemen lost their watches, and many ladies lost their purses in the crowd. Captain Lewis, who was accompanied by his wife and a little girl his daughter, felt a tug at his guard chain, and his watch disappeared in an instant. The prisoner was running away with it, and the prosecutor seized him. The prisoner struggled with Captain Lewis, who was compelled to let go, and he fell against a shop window and cut his hand and wrist severely. The prisoner then ran away. He was pursued through the crowd by George Japes, a labourer, who " made a grab at him," seized him, and, in spite of the efforts of many determined ruffians to rescue him, held him till other assistance was afforded by Henry Carroll, of No. 25, Mile-end-road, and several other persons. Mrs. Louisa Lewis, wife of the prosecutor, seized the thief as he was running away with her husband's watch, but he eluded her grasp and got away. The watch was not recovered. The prisoner, in defence, said he did not take the watch. Mr. Woolrych—l have no doubt you did. Why did you sun away? I believe you stole the watch. I sentence you to be imprisoned for two months for being in the Mile end-road for the purpose of committing a felony. GOLD IN AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND, (From th• New Zealander, May 7.) From Coromandel we have information which places the existence of a gold field beyond doubt, even in the minds of those who were mostsceptical on that point. Specimens of the precious metal continue to come into town from time to time; we sneak only of what we have ourselves seen, the 14-ounce nugget sent to the governor, that of 32 ounces to be seen at the Bank of New Zealand, a very handsome saucer-full of water-worn quartz specimens, in the possession of Mr. Keven, taken from the bed of the Waiau creek. and which may contain in all some 31, ounces, 75 per cent. pure gold ; some equally fine specimens brought down within the last week, which are only a portion o f some 111 b. weight obtained by the same party Again speaking of the Tici creek, Coromandel, Mr . Von Temsky writes that 41 b. weight has been got by one party—heavy specimens, waterworn, and unalloyed; also that a 14-ounce specimen (the same as mentioned above as sent to the governor),mostly all gold ; 6 ounce, l•ounce, and t-ounce pieces have been got at the same creek by men who are not above dirting their hands or wetting their feet. Mr. Murphy and party have, during the present week, succeeded in striking the reef at a consider able depth, and from the specimen of quartz which they have already extracted, there is little doubt of its proving an exceedingly profitable under taking; 21 ounces to the ton is the estimated yield. Great praise is due to the perseverance and in dustry of this party. There are about 180 miners at present at Coro ' mandel ; of these about 60 are said to be at work, the other two-thirds idly waiting in expectation of a ready-made gold field to commence upon. By far the greater part, of those engaged at work are either satisfied with the results of their work, or eve con. fident of their future success. The great difficulty under which Coromandel labours is the impossi. bility of moving freely about the country ; the diggings extend over forest land, and forest of a more than ordinarily dense and tangled nature. Gold has, however, been discovered along the lead ing range for a distance of 60 miles, and there is little doubt but that a payable gold field would have long since been discovered had the surface of the country presented no greater difficulties than those which have existed in the Australian colonies and in Otago."
