Also, that another General Court will be held at, the Bank on TUESDAY, the 10th of April next, from 10 o'clock in the forenoon till 4 in the afternoon for the election of a Governor and D..puty-Governor for the year ensuing (which will be declared that evening) ; and the same Court will be con tinued, by adjournment, and held in the same place, and during the same hours, on WEDNESDAY, the 11th of April next, for the election of 21 Directors (which will be also one of the Quarterly General Courts appointed by the charter) ; ard the election of the 24 Directors mil be declared as soon as the scrutiny is over. Printed lists of the proprietors having votes will be ready to be delivered at the Bank, on Monday, the 26th of March. JAME€ STEWART, Secretary. N.B. By an Act passed in the seventh year et' the reign of George 111., no person will be entitled to vote at the said election who shall not have been six calendar months pos sessed, in his own right, of the stock for which he shall then give his vote, unless the said stock shall have been acquired, or shall have come by bequest or by marriage, or by succes sion to an intestate's estate, or by the custom of the city of London, or by any deed of settlement after the death of any person who shall have been entitled for life to dividends of such stock. PRICE 4 D • STAMPED, SD. occurring at the mill are reconverted into pulp be fore the charge of duty is made. It is impossible to deny that the principle on which we thus.atted is of more extended application ; but we have else where explained to your lordships how impracti cable it would be to attempt to carry it into effect. "Equally difficult is it to defend upon prin. ciple the subjection of artificial parchment to the paper duty, while the true parchment is free; yet it is absolutely necessary to maintain (as we did in the Court of Exchequer) that a process of manufacture admitting of no other de , scription than that which would be given of paper making must be treated precisely as paper-making, and it is clear.that the abandonment of our claim for duty in the one case would necessarily lead to the same result in the other. We should otherwise gladly have abstained from interfering with this new and ingenious production, which we fear has been entirely suppressed by the judgment which placed it under the revenue laws. " It would be a very long task to enumerate all ,the cases falling within the class to which we have hitherto confined our remarks ; cases, namely, in which the excise survey and duty attaches to one description of manufactured article, while another, its competitor in the market, is left entirely free. In many of them the evil is apparently trifling, though not so in reality ; and even in those which we have noticed the importance of the inequalities in the incidence of the duty will not be duly esti mated, except by those who are conversant with the effect of very small differences in profit in the course of trade. But we have probably said enough to prove our concurrence in the Chancellor of the Exchequer's allegations, for we cannot perceive a more untenable position for the heads of a revenue department than that in which we are placed when, in answer to complaints from persons whose trade is annihilated by our exaction of a duty from which their competitors are exempt, we can only say that such is the necessary consequence of the existence of the tax. It is this utikrtunate effect of the paper duty which so distinguishes it for evil; and it is to this that we limit our observations on the present occasion. Indeed, such inequality of pressure as we have mentioned appears to afford a more valid ground of objection than the mere amount of pres sure which is insisted upon with so much earnest ness and ability by publishers, newspaper proprie tors, and other advocates of the repeal of the paper duty. " With the statements - and arr b mments of these gentlemen your lordship s are doubtless and at all events can require no assistance from us in order to appreciate their importance and their bearing upon the question under consideration.

Rurtuows and Co. are not disposed to comment upon the purity of their wines, which is daily most laudably acknow ledged by the public and eminent medical men of all coun tries, as the increasing patronage of the highest families in the Lind is a sufficient guarantee. They beg to call particular attention to their pure Tonic Wines, as being so valuable to Invalids and persons of weak stomachs. A sample case, containing three full-sized wine bottles, will be forwarded to any address on receipt of P. 0.0. for 6s. ed., or a dozen for 245. It is a well-known fact that impure and adulterated wines are the greatest foes to health, producing acidity in the stomach, and debilitatino . the Ceestive organs, while pure wines will accelerate the digestive powers, invigorating, strengthening, and bracing the nervous system. Their Tonic Wine is admitted to be most essential to in valids, both old and young, and should never be absent from the homes of the weak and sickly. Its properties are duly acknowledged and appreciated by the leading men of the faculty, both at home and abroad. To prevezt imposition each bottle is sealed with the name of the firm. . " C. PRESSLY.

Since 3 esterday evening not more than six bodies have heen got out of the Bur radon pit. Last night the " styth," a sort of chokedamp, beat the explor ing parties back about 83 yards, and they have not been making any great advances towards the face of the whole coal to-day. The Government Insp( tor of Mines, Mr. Dunn, informed me this afternoon at the pit that it has been pretty conclusively established that 80 men and boys have been lost ; and, as the bodies of 60 have been found and sent to bank, 20 more have yet to be recovered. It is supposed that several bodies are lying under falls of coal and stone that came from the roof of the mine at the moment of the explosion. The carcasses of 20 dead horses have to be brought to bank yet, which will have to be done as speedily as possible, as they are causing a horrible stench in the mine, so much so that Mr. Davison, Mr. M'Allister, and Mr. Thompson, surgeons, have had to go down into the pit and employ disinfectants to improve its sanitary condition. The bodies of the two wastemen, Friar and Jeffer son, who went down the pit after the explosion, but who entered the " waste" and perished by the after damp, were found between 1 and 2 o'clock this morning. They had not got three yards before they were overpowered and killed. It is supposed that they had rushed in to do something with an instrument that regulates the air, as they were found only a few yards from it. One of the bodies picked up this morning was blown into four pieces ; and the head of a horse killed by the explosion was found 50 yards from the carcass. Mr. Reed, the coroner for South Northumberland, as reported in The Sun, opened an inquest on Sa turday night on some of the bodies, and adjourned it until Friday. He held an inquest upon the body of a boy named Golightly this afternoon, which, with others, has been brought out of the pit since Saturday. The inquest was held in the colliery-office ; and to appearance--and, in fact, I was informed such was the case—several of the jury men were persons employed about the pit. A more lame and inconclusive investigation was never at tempted to be made into such a fearful occurrence as the one recorded, which has destroyed 80 lives. It is to be hoped that the inquest on Frilay will go more fully into evidence reported below. Only two overmen belonging to the pit were examined today. Mr. Dunn, the Government Inspector, Mr. Foster, Mr. Carr, and other gentlemen connected with mines were in the room during the investiga tion. The first witness examined was All orders to be made payable to HENRY BURROWS.

He visited all the workings in the first east bank before he came out, which was the place where he believed the first explosion took place. He was down from 1 o'clpek until 8, and while down he found the air good and free. There could not be less, in his be lief, than 35,000 cubic feet of air per minute pass ing through the workings. When he visited the pit, according to his estimation, there was sufficietit air for the safety of the mine. At the particular place where the first explosion occurred- he saw Wm. Williams working in the whole eoal. There was no indication of gas at that place. Gas escapes from the whole coal at times very unexpectedly. When he left the pit at 8 o'clock everything ap peared to be satisfactory and safe. After some further evidence, the jury returned a verdict that Golightly had died from the effects of an explosion in Burradon pit, but that there was no evidence to show how it originated. t 14 , ' ASSURA Eposi2 4:1 WS \V r P 4 .

E. L. BAGSTIAW, Esq., occupied the chair•. The usual routine business having been tran sacted, The MANAGER (G. H. Law, Esq.), read the an nual report as follows : " Your directors have to-day a very simple but very pleasant duty to perform. " A faithful survey of the transactions of the past year, the results of which are embodied in the balance shut about to be laid before you, enables the directors to report a marked and highly satis factory progress in every department of the busi ness. Without going into all the details in sup port of this statement, it will be — s.uflicipat to point to a large accession of new customers, L ait increase in the amount of current premiums received to the extent of 40 per cent., and of discounts to 100 per cent. over those of last year- as well as a consider able-addition to the list of depositors. " The purchase of the lease and fixtures of the very valuable and appropriate prethises in which you are now assembled, and the removal of the business thereto, have, of course, increased the item of 'charges' for the year; but your directors feel sure of voue hearty concurrence in what can not fail to aid in the general advancement of the best interests of the company. " The directors have also the gratification of being able to anticipate a very considerable reduc tion in the general expenditure during the current year. "The promise of the future is certainly not less cheering than the actual realisations of the past. The indications all around point to immensely greater activity in the monetary and commercial operations of the country, and under much healthier influences then have for some years'past favoured them ; the result of which, your directors feel, must inevitably be that the wealth of those that ht ve it will speedily find its way, in order - to profitable f.m. ployment, into the hands of those who have it not. " One of the powers contained in the deed of settlement, hitherto dormant, has recently been put into operation —namely, 'Ordinary Permanent Life Insurance;' and a not inconsiderable number of policies have already been effected, and your direc tors feel justified in looking to this source for a large augmentation of the profits of the -company ; (spe cially when they remember that the' transaction of this - business will require only - a slight - additional expense. " In this department, particularly the share•• holders are reminded how great the service they may render by inducing their friends to insure their lives in the Life Assurance Treasury. " With the experience of the past four years be fore youwith the business steadily improving, both in quality and amount—with the entire confi dence of that large number of highly respectable persons-who transact business with-the company— with the evidence which the last two months afford of the promi:e of a much greater increase of busi ness during 1830 —and with the anticipated favour able result of the further development, frem time to tire, of the powers of the deed of settlement, your directors kel fully warranted in holding out to the shareholders the realisation at eo distant day, of seeing the Life As3uranee Treasury not merely one of the most profitable, but also one of the mo6t useful of public companies " iVei have now to call your attention to the more immediate bo , inets of the day. The balance sheet, indrri.ed by the gentlemen appointed as the audi tor:: for the year, will be laid before you. " The retiring directors are Edm. Lloyd Bag shawe, and Albert. Ceeksliaw, Esqrs., and, bring eligible, we ask yen to te-elect them. ennlsTortirit Melleot, Bath, having qualified himself for a director, and bringing with him censiderable influence, you are recommended cordially to elect him to a seat at the board in the room of the late Rev. H. P. Houghton. " The only other appointments to be made to day are those of the auditors, George Pearce Pocock and Launeetot Newton, Esqrs , who offer themselves for re-election. " The usual rate of interest on the capital of the company for the past year, namely 5 per cent. per annum, is recommended to be paid to the share ho:dcrs. " Since the last annual meeting your directors exceedingly regret to state, that two highly esteemed members of their body have been removed by death, and their seats left vacant at the board— the Right Hon. the Earl of Devon and the Rev. Henry Phillip Houghton. The chairmanship of the court of directors, which his lordship so ably and so usefully filled since the estabishment of the company, still remains vacant, and will of course continue so until a suitable successor to the vener able earl can be found ; but they cannot suffer the occasion to pass without expressing their deep sense of the loss the company has thus sustained." The CLIAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said the account was so satisfactory, that he need but detain them a few minutes with any remarks of his own. The success that had attended the operations of the society, during the past year, had been most remarkable, and the prospects for the future were as bright as the most ardent friend of the company could desire. After briefly allud ing to the principal points in the report, the chair man concluded his observations by moving the usual motion. Mr. BLACK, in seconding the motion of the chair- man, said the report bore evidence as to the great amount of energy that had been exercised by the directors. Small as the expenses of the past year had been, the directors promised still further re ductions. (Hear, hear.) It was exceedingly gra tify ing to find the great increase that had taken place in their business, and the dividend of five per cent. was also si.tisfactory, especially as it was •ne that could be safely declared. He was not insensible to a dividend of 6,7, or even 10 per cent.—(laugh ter) —and he had no doubt such would ultimately be received by the shareholders, yet he thought the directors had exercised the soundest policy in giving a dividend that "had been fairly and honourably earned, and one which, he felt assured, all parties would be satiEfied with. (Hear, hear.) He could not resume his seat without again complimenting the board of directors on the judicious economy they had exercised. The CHAIRMAN, having previously asked whe ther any shareholders wished any questioas an swered, put the resolution for the adoption of the report to the meeting, and declared it carried unanimously. Mr. PococK then moved that the retiring direc tors, A. Cockshaw, Esq. and E. L. Bagshawejsq., be re-elected. Mr. LAME, of Wigan, said he had great pleasure in seconding the motion of Mr. Pocock. In Wigan the society was going on in a most satisfactory manner. The business there in the last two years had been very great, and in the transaction of it not a single penny had been lost during the whole of that period. -(Hear, heat, and cheers.) The motion was carried 'inanimously. On the motion of Mr. NEWTON, seconded by Mr. TUELON,' Chris. W.Adam, Esq., of Bath, was Elect( d a director of the company. Mr. BRETT moved a resolution to the effect that interest at the rate of 5 per cent. be paid to the shareholders for the past year. The resolution was seconded by Mr. DENTON, and carried unanimously. A cordial vote of thanks was given to 11. G. Law, Esq., the manager, for his great exertions on be half of the society. The same compliment was also, on the mot' on of Mr. PEPPER, awarded to the chairman.

The late Captain James Robert Dalton, R.N., had executed his will in France, dated March 26, 1858, and had made a codicil thereto in July, 1858, which was not admitted to probate from its being unattested. He died at Montreuil-sur-Mer, on the Ist of January, 1860, where he had been resident for thirty years. • The will was administered to by his relict, the sole executrix, and probate was granted to her so far as regards the property in England and elsewhere, but save and except such part thereof as may be in France.

He has bequeathed to his wife a life-interest in his pro perty, and has appointed his nephew, James Robert Dalton, reversionary residuary legatee.

The following is the report of tee Commissioners of Inland Revenue to the Treasury on the repeal of the duty upon paper, dated the Ist of March, 1860 : " Inland Revenue, Somerset House, W.C., March 1. " May it please your Lordships,—We have ob served in the course of the recent debates on the budget several references to observations made by us in our annaal reports on the subject of the paper duties. "It has been inferred from the passages alluded to that our experience of the effeot of the piper duty does not bear out the statement of the Chancellor" of the Excheqer in his statement on the 10th of February, namely, that the Board of Inland Re venue are completely agreed that there ought to be a repeal of the duty.' " This inference, however, is not correct. We beg leave to state that it is our deliberate opinion that the paper duty (to use the words of the Chan cellor of the Exchequer) is rapidly becoming un tenable,' and we hope to satisfy your lordships that this opinion is not inconsistent with those which we have previously expressed on the subject. " It is no doubt true4,that in our first and second reports we noticed, as a circumstance which distin guishes the paper duty from other duties of Excise, that the regulations under which the revenue from this source is collected are such as to impose very slight restrictions during the process of manufac ture. " Your lordships are aware that the intervention of the Excite officer takes place at a paper-mill, for the first time, when the paper is ready to be sent out. It is then his business to weigh it, to charge the duty aciording to the weight, and to place round the reams labels and wrappers denoting that the charge has been made, and distinguishing them from such as have not been brought under his in spection. "These simple regulations leave the paper-maker comparatively free to adopt the best and most eco nomical modes of working, and he can scarcely assert, as the malsters and distillers do, that the cost of production is increased, or the quality of the manufactured article impaired, by the fetters im- posed upon upon him for fiscal purposes. " We considered it was right to point out this distinguishing characteristic of the paper duty, as an important consideration in any discussion re specting the maintenance of it as a source of reve nue, and as being a matter of which few persons besides those practically conversant with the ope ration of the revenue laws could be expected to have any knowledge. But our observations were limited to this one point, namely, the freedom of theprocess of manufacture from Excise regulations, and wore not intended to convey any opinion upon the wider question whether the general effects of the duty were or were not as pernicious as has been rept e sented by the advocates for its repeal. " In our third report (that of last year), we were compelled to draw your lordships' attention to the great and increasing embarrassments in which we were involved in collecting this tax. We pointed out that this state of things was attiilmtable in a great measure to the condemnation of the duty by resolution of the House of Commons ; and we might, perhaps,have added, that the evils of which we complained had been accumulating for many years previously, under the prevalence of a general impression that the duty on paper would be given up on the very first available opportunity. We endeavoured to show how impossible it was under these circumstances to apply to Parliament for power to subject new branches of the trade to Ex cise regulations, and at the same time how unjust it was to allow to one an exemption from that duty and survey which alone prevented a rival branch ' u e gbi r :ej a ie l :cuot o ffi t it l en i i e te r oni s tt , from successful competition in the matt:Et. fouil d brought in to your pages 1 3 L Lordships' h 1 i 4 p s o ' f n o o u t i i . "As an example, we selected the case of the card makers and the pasteboard-makers ; we might have po a : kt Without )c specified ,rsi t arsee maysubject notice. Annual Re o distinctionci ri t d e a l . y ri ae t b ko e be t bi . es i . are exempt from Excise survey, while pasteboard tween the articles produced by the two traders is merely nominal, and that it is scarcely an exag geration to say that we are levying a duty on A, while we allow B to send out goods, precisely simi lar in nature, without any interference from the revenue officer. the t w ot h b d s a e i t e ta t hat state that ea( "It may be said that the remedy is either to place the card-makers under survey ar to exempt the pasteboard-makers ; but, besides the reasons above referred to, which prevent us from adopting the former alternative in a case of paper duty, we must frankly own that we believe it to be impos sible at the present day to subject to the supervi sion of the exciseman any class of traders who have hitherto been free from it; and, on the other hand, if the pasteboard makers were to be declared exempt, we should have to encounter the loud and well-found( d complaints of their rivals, those paper makers, namely, who make pasteboard at their mills, and who are necessarily under Excise survey, so long as a duty on paper exists. " The pasteboard-makers, again, come before us in the character of injured parties, when they com pare the treatment which they receive with that of the scaleboard-maker. Pasteboard it seems is the natural rival of scaleboard. Left free from extraneous influences, these two articles might per haps maintain the struggle for supremacy without any decided advantage on either side; but the weight of Excise duty and survey, which is brought to bear upon pasteboard alone, gives to scaleboard an easy triumph in the very same field in which paste board formerly obtained the preference. Boxes, for instance, of various kinds, and especially hat boxes, were originally made of pasteboard, a more suitable material for the purpose than scaleboard. Since the duty has been levied on the former, and not on the latter, a trade which entirely supported a large manufactory near Oxford has ceased to exist; and it is asked, not without reason, whether it is just to select arbitrarily for taxation one of two articles so similar in their nature and in the purposes to which they are applicable. " The grievances of the pasteboard-makers do not end here. They appear again with the mire im portant complaint that the duty on pasteboard is seriously detrimental to the exporters of certain light manufactures which arc packed in ornamented boxes for the foreign market, and that it actually has the effect of compelling the British merchant to import for this purpose boxes made in Germany, instead of those made at home. " Your lordships are aware that no drawback can be given in such a case, because, in the first place, the amouut of duty originally paid on the paper composing the pasteboard cannot be ascertained, and, in the second place, supposing that an approxi mate rate could be fixed upon so as to obviate this difficulty, it would still be impracticable to obtain the tare of such boxes when filled with goods ready for shipment. That a close examination would be necessary is proved by the remarkable fact that an applicant on this subject recently forwarded to us a box as a specimen of those which he used, and which turned out to be made of scaleboard, an article on which, as before observed, no duty is levied. The duty, therefore, on pasteboard boxes, and on slips of pasteboard on which certain goods are wound, or to which they are attached, is a burden from which our manufacturers cannot be relieved so long as the paper duty is maintained, and is no doubt, as alleged by them, an impediment in the close competition which they encounter in the foreign and colonial markets. Their endeavour to escape from this difficulty by importing foreign boxes (subject at the Custom-house to an ad ralorent duty, as histh is not an equivalent to that of the Excise), while it affords but an imperfect remedy to the exporters, is an additional cause of complaint against the unequal operation of the revenue laws from the makers of paper and pasteboard in our own country. " The above instances are some of those which have been most recently pressed upon our notice, as illustrating the unequal incidence of the paper duty, and w e have found it impossible either to deny the existence of the evils complained of or to sug gest any remedy short of the entire repeal of the duty. " Numerous other examples might be adiuced of the same unhappy effect from this tax ; but the ex planations necessary to make them intelligible would lead us into too much detail for our present purpose- We content ourselves with reminding your lordships of the incessant demands of the sta tioners to have the, same drawback on the waste cuttings of writing-paper as is allowed on the cut tings of envelopes, of the impossibility of granting this without opening the door to the payment of drawback upon every small pie ce of p a p er p roduced for that purpose, and of the absurdity to which the concession would thus redu ce us. Your lordships may remember that all our difficulties in this re spect have arisen from an attempt to restore the balance between the envelopes made at a paper-mill and those made by stationers, disturbed as it was (se of the latter by their waste to the disadvanta , cuttings being subject to the duty, while those PARLIAMENTARY DI VISION.
