The success that has attended the establishment of Joint Stock Banks in London, and the advantages they have afforded to the public, are evident from the large amount entrusted to their care, the balances in their hands being, at the end of 1861, upwards of fifty millions sterling. The advantages to the proprietors are shown by the divi dends they receive, which vary from 6 to 24 per cent., and by the present value of the shares. The London and Westminster Bank Shares, £2O paid, Worth in 1852 £3O, now quoted £77. The London Joint Stock Bank Shares, £lO paid, worth in 1852 £l9, now quoted £36. The Union Bank of London Shares, £lO paid, worth in 1852 £l6, now quoted £33. The London and County Bank Shares, £2O paid, worth in 1852 £24, now quoted £4O. The City Bank, established 1856, £5O paid, now quoted £9O. The Bank of London, established in 1857, £5O paid, now quoted £Bl. From these facts it appears that the paid-up capital of the six banks, amounting to £3,400,000, represent a present ularket value to the shareholders of upwards of £10,000,000. Since the establishment of the last named banks, no other London joint-stock banks have commenced business, while ,the trade and population of London and its neighbourhood oave steadily increased with the general trade of the Country. That this increase is accompanied by additional demand for banking facilities is abundantly pawed by the fact, that durinc , the past year the balances in the hands of the existing banks increased— from £44,143,181 to £50,783,353, showing an increase of £6,640,172 in one year. From these encouraging data it may be safely assumed that the growing requirements of commerce demand addi tional banking accommodation. Acting on these unmistakeable indications, the Imperial Bank, Limited, is about to be established ; and it is confi dently antieipated that without pretending to offer advan tages superior to those which the trading public now enjoy, there is every reason to conclude that a more extended choice of banking advantages would be received with favour by the public. A prominent feature in 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 on principle have abstained from holding shares in joint stock banks with unlimited liability. The Imperial Bank, Limited, will undertake every de scription of business that comes within the province of a joint-stock bank. The capital has been fixed at £3,000,000 in 30,000 shares of £lOO ea c h ; fi r st i ss ue £1,000,000 s h ares ' in 10,000 shares ; £1 per share to be paid on application, and £1 per share on allotment ; no call to exceed £5, and an interval of not less than three months between each call. It is not intended that the paid up capital shall exceed £25 per share of the subscribed capital. Applications for shares must be made in the annexed form. The deposit of £1 per share must be paid to the Company's Bankers, for which a receipt will be given. If no allotment be made, the deposit money will be returned in full; and if a less number be allotted than is applied for, the surplus will be used towards the payment on allotment. Prospectuses and Forms of Applications for Shares, may be obtained at the Temporary Offices, and of the Brokers, To the Directors+ of the Imperial Bank, Limited. Gontlemen,—Having paid to the City Bank the sum of I hereby request that you will allot me Shares of £lOO each, in "The Imperial Bank, Limited," and I hereby agree to accept such shares, or any smaller number, that may be allotted to me. and to pay £1 per share when allotted, and to sign the articles of association when required.

" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses.

STAMPED ....sd. COO - Iff- 11ARTIAL ON OAPI4IN ItOBEIaiSON. ~-. Thid court-martial wee, resumed on Monday in Dublin, and the court was, if possible, even more crowded than on preceding days. Colonel Brownrigg, before proceeding to reply en 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 publication of Which was refused in the Irish Tinzes, in con sequence of mis-statements in it, but which was subsequently published in the Evening Mail and Freeman's Journal. The letter was signed " Roger Palmer, Captain Mayo Rifles." It contained many 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 lie 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 Jones to have called him to account for words spoken by him, without having 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 frepa 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 the notice of the court, they would have taken up the subject very strongly. They were not aware that such 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 gentleman— disgusted and disheartened, as he must have been, on hearing the proposal from the prisoner, that tho 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 p to ri t s h on e e t r hrd charge, a i lludedinh t i h s e le in tt t e im r o id f a t t h io e n 4t t which ho of foc the tober was plainly what occurred in the Adjutant-Gene ral's 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 conve3led his orders without harshness of any sort; In order to assure himself that the pr'i. soner had acted without any pressure, he Wired 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. Bentincl to recommend him to the adjutancy of a militia regiment. The only intimidation which he, saw was practised was that of Major Jones, who told the prisoner that he would be almost certain to be tried by court-martial for not sending his letters through the proper channel. He (the prosecutor) fearlessly asserted that the charge of intimidation having been used in the Adjutant-General's office, or :previously by Col. Bentinck, was an after thought. Col. Brownrigg then proceeded to com ment upon the affair of the backstick, 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 patticle of what he at first proposed to prove. Franklin's and Ge n . M'D owe ll' s di v i s i ons. On i Sunday, the 2d and 3d New Jersey Regiments and a squadron of Lincoln cavalry occupied Sangster's , iation, on the Orange and Alexandria Railroad. On arriving at this point a detachment of rebel cavalry was surprised. In the skirmish Lieut. Rid den, of the Lincoln cavalry, was killed, and a ser geant wounded ; three rebels were killed, and a lieutenant and 11 men captured. On Monday a 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 warfare. 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 undisturbe d, 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 folio wing 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,—OA 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: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 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. 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,aianswered og res s, b y when, t he enemy at sunrise with it h Ihiwsam s u ac n i on d n e fvo r irn G cce e e n od e n r t a th l hae A t r i s t b hg o eh t ht. enemy.

My left, under Gen. Sigel, moved close to the hills occupied by the enemy, driving him 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 Mountains. " General Sigel follows him towards Keittsville, while my cavalry is pursuing him towards the mountains, scouring the country, bringi n g in pri soners, and trying to find the rebel Arainr -General Van Dorn, who had the command of the entire force at this, the Battle of Pea Ridge. , i I h ave no t as ye t s t a t e ments of t he dead and wounded so as to justisfy a report; but I will refe r have display such unu sua l you to a despatch which I w ill forward soon.

She followed the example of the Minnesota and the Roanoke in firing upon Sewall's Point, but like theirs her shot fell short. The gunboat Mystic was also towed up in the afternoon, but at sunset the Roanoke, the St. Lawrence, and the Mystic all returned. 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 Congas:3 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 ai 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 variousves 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 about the fort, without, however, doing any da mage. Another gun was saved by the harbour crew. The British sldop of war Rinaldo arrived here this 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, John 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 wounded, not officers. The 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.

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 nest 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, MARCIE 11. The advance of a portion of the grand army of the Potomac on Monday 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 sick 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 noisy 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 ago. Since Friday last regular approaches have been made daily towards Centreville by portions of Gen. TO BE MAJOR-GENERALS.

NEW YORK, MAncit 12, MORNING. (Per Arabia, via Queenstown.) The news of the naval engagement at Fort Monroe, full details of which will be found below, caused intense excitement in New York on the night of Sunday last. The opportune arrival at Fort Monroe of the Federal steamer Monitor not being known when the news of the damage done by the Merrimie 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, should she attempt it. Later news of the arrival of the Monitor appeared to quiet the fears entertained. Nearly all accounts agree that the Merrimac, when she retreated to Norfolk, was disabled. Some statements, however, different from this, have been published. The New York World gives an account of the pilot on board the Cumberland, an.. a 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 100 lb. 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 feet below the water line, and meeting above them like the 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 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 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 a ction could not be seen from the fort, but a telegram was received announc ing that the Cumberland and Merrimac were in close quarters. As the lat ter a pproached the Cum berland she did not pay any atte n ti on t o th e Con gress. After firing two guns at the Cumberland the sharp bows, making Merrimaca jagged h olestruckia herher a t with h e her water Sh line seven feet in extent.

Shortly before three o'clock the Yorktown and arrived from up James River. The former was disabled early in the afternoon, and put ashore for repairs. After si nki ng white flag was hoisted the Merrimac turned to the Congress, and in less the Cumberland, a t than board a a a n r hour d th e afterwards Congress. a A rebel gunboat immedi ately went alongside, and the officers and marines being taken prisoners, the seamen were allowed to escape to the shore.

In the week that ended last Saturday the deaths in London fell to 1,271; they were fewer than th ey had been in any week since the end of last year.

It is very satisfactory to notice a decided decrease last week in the deaths from typhus ; they were 63, which is about half the number that was returned in the first week of the present month. The number however is still above the corrected average, Whi c h is 44.
