If •.1 ka;an 0 colse Tvl l / 1 ,1, Somerrons—Messrs. Tilson and Squance, The following report was presented : In meeting the shareholders at the beginning of the year, the Di rectors have the satisfaction to state, that the business of the Bank continues steadily to improve, as will appear from the balance sheet herewith submitted for their perusal and information. From this it will be seen that the transactions of the Bank during the past half-year have netted a clear profit of 20,1301. Bs. Bd., which, after paying a dividend at the rate of 61. per cent. per annum on the capital stock, free from income-tax, will leave a balance of 2,1301. Bs. Bd., to be carried to the reserve, which, together with the interest due thereon, raises the amount of the guarantee fund to the sum of 96,2971. 2s. 6d. The seats in the direction to be vacated on the present occasion are those occupied by Archibald Hastie, Esq., M.P., William Mitcalfe, Esq., Ambrose Moore, Esq., John Timothy Oxley, Esq., and William Shadbolt, Esq., all of whom have given notice that they are candi dates for re-election. In conformity with the recommendation of the Proprietors at the last general meeting, that the Board should take into their considera tion the practicability of instituting a fund for the benefit of the clerks of the establishment, in case of sickness, age, er other incapacity aris ing while in the service of the'llank, the Directors have to state that the recommendation has had their anxious and deliberate considera tion ; and that, with a dne.regard to all the interests concerned, they have arrived at the conclusion that the satisfactory management of such a fund would be most difficult, if not impossible, and they, there fore, cannot recommend its adoption. The half-year's dividend will be payable on and after Friday, the 23d day of January inst. The preceding report having been read to the meeting by the Se cretary, a dividend for the half-year ending the 31st December last, after the rate of Si. per centum per annum, was declared by the Chairman. Resolved unanimously, That the report now read be received, and that it be printed for the use of the Shareholders. The following Directors having retired from office, by virtue of the provisions of the deed of settlement, were unanimously re-elected, viz.:— Archibald Hastie, Esq., M.P. John Timothy Oxley, Esq. William Mitcalfe, Esq. I William Shadbolt., Esq. 'Ambrose Moore, Esq. Resolved, That it is not expedient that the Directors should recom mend any one of the candidates to the Proprietors upon any occasion of a vacancy. _ _ _ . Resolved unanimously, what the thanks of this meeting be pre sented to the Chairman and Directors for their good management of the affairs of the Bank, and for their uniform kindness to the pro prietors. Resolved unan , mously, That the thanks of this meeting be given to George Pollard, Esq , the Manager, for his unremitting attention to the interests of the Bank. WILLIAM CURLING, Esq., Chairman. Resolved unanimously, That the warmest thanks of the meeting be tendered to the Chairman for his able, courteous, and impartial conduet in the chair. WILLIAM MILLER CHRISTY, Esq., Deputy-Chairman.

NICOLL'S PALETOT, registered 6 and 7 Vic., cap. 65, is patronised 17 the Prince Consort, Prince George of Cambridge, &e., and is generally acknowledged to excel all other great coats. The cloth is made of Llama Wool, known to be porous, yet naturally repellant of rain. In the neighbourhood of the extensive Wareruems, 114, Regent street, a few small shops are so far unprincipled as to assume a similarity of name, intending to impose upon strangers some trashy substitute. Messrs. Nicoll think It due to their own reputation thus to caution the public, and to suggest that a copy of the Address be preserved ; and they further offer a Reward of Fifty Pounds for the detection of a Positive Infringement. Black Llama Cloth, from its soft elastic nature, is well adapted for Evening Dress Coats—to be had only of the Patentees. Each correct registered Paletot is stamped in the lining "11. J. and D. Nicoll, 114, Regent-street, London." JONES'S DEMULCENT COUGH LO ZENGES, the best remedy ever discovered.

The Committee of Management of this Company have effected an amalgamation with the Dudley, Madeley, Rroseley, and Ironbridge Railway Company, on terms which are advantageous to the Share holders of both Companies. The liability of the Shareholders of this Company will be reduced from 501. Shares to Shares of 251., and Two Shares will be issued to the Shareholders of the Dudley and Madeley Company for Three of their Shares. By this arrangement the Capital and Parliamentary Deposit of 10 per cent., and the capital requisite for the entire scheme of this Company, Including a line from Dudley to Madeley next year, will be secured. The reduction of the nominal amount of the Shares renders it ne cessary for the Shareholders of this Company to have their Scrip Certificates stamped.

The objects of this Asseciation are twofold—the Insurance of Ships and the Advancing of Money by way of Loan, secured by mortgage on shipping. Each branch affords its own share of individual profit ; but the two operations, judiciously combined, will evidently be pro ductive of highly remunerative results to the proprietary. The immense fortunes knOwn to have been realised by individuals who have advanced money upon the security of shipping, with an assignment of the policy of assurance, afford the best guarantee of the soundness of the principle upon which the Association is founded. The almost Incredible number of British shipping under mortgage, shown by the books of the Registrar-General of Customs, exhibits a wide field for the operations of the Association. The great bulk, if not all of these loans, have been obtained upon exorbitant terms by the small owner from his more wealthy neighbour, who may look rather to the obtaining possession of the vessel by foreclosure than to the eligibility of the security as an investment. The Association will advance a sum of money, in no case exceed ing two-thirds of the vessel's value, upon the report of its surveyors ; which loan shall be secured by mortgage upon the whole ship and earnings by freight, the policy of insurance effected with the Asso ciation remaining in its hands until the termination of the period fur which the loan has been granted. Among the many advantages it holds out, the following are not the least: To the . Shipowner, the certainty of obtaining, at a moderate rate, and without injury to his credit, pecuniary assistance when he most requires it. The opportunity of relieving himself from mortgages bearing an exorbitant interest, and effecting them with the Association at an equitable rate. To the Shipbuilder, particularly when building for the market, either at home or in our colonies, by placing him in a position less dependent upon immediate sale at an unfavourable season. fo both, a participation in the profits of the Association by be crming shareholders. The Association embodies the following advantages for its Pro prietary : The immediate certainty of securing a very large number of poli cies of insurance, since, although insurances will be taken without loans, no loan will be granted unless the policy be effected with the Association ; hence the double profit which will arise from these two sources. A total absence of risk to the shareholders. It msy be added that an extensive connexion has been already formed in the leading outports, and insurance business to a large amount secured for the Association. The same machinery sufficing for the working of the double prin ciple here exhibited, the expenses of management will not exceed those of any ordinary marine insurance-office. The necessary Parliamentary notices for an Act of Incorporation have been duly given in the Gazettes of November, 1845. The whole sum required for the preliminary expenses has been advanced by thd London members of the Committee of Management. Applications for shares, in the usual form, may be made to the Committee of Management, and addressed to any of the above-named officers of the Association, to the solictors, or to ally of the following agents, from whom more detailed prospectuses may be had :—Wm. Cafferata, Esq., Exchange-buildings, Liverpool; Messrs. Flint and Tootal, Hull; Messrs. Drewry and Richardson, Newcastle-on• Tyne ; Robert W. Ogilvie, Esq., Newcastle-on-Tyne; W. J.

The importance of this project, both nationally and locally, has de termined its promoters to bring it before the public at the present moment, notwithstanding the difficulties which at first sight would appear to stand in the way of its success. The title of the scheme is sufficiently explicit to put the public in possession of its merits without a detailed statement enumerating them. Arrangements are in progress with the Canal Company for its ab solute purchase, the final completion of which will doubtless be ef fected at a very early period. • The Warwick and Birmingham Canal has, notwithstanding the opening of the London and Birmingham Raitway, yielded a dividend of about 12 per cent. to its shareholders. By the conversion of the canal into a railway with the benefit of a terminus in the centre of the large town of Birmingham, a direct railway communication will be opened with the impor tant towns of Leamington and Warwick, at which latter place the proposed line will join the branch of the London and Bir mingham Extension Railway Company, from Warwick to Fenny Compton; thus opening, by means of the projected lines through Buckinghamshire, a much nearer railway communica tion between London and Birmingham than the present one, in addi tion to conferring on the very important districts through which the line passes, the benefit of railway accommodation, and which is not now possessed by them. The proposed line will be in immediate and close alliance with the Rugby, Warwick, and Worcester, the London and Birmingham Ex tension, and the Warwick and Worcester Railway Companies ; those Companies having agreed to subscribe a very considerable portion of the required capital. The necessary plans and books of reference have been deposited, and notices to landowners and' others duly served ; so that nothing can prevent the Company from applying to Parliament for its Act of Incorporation in the session of 1846. Preference will be given in the allotment of shares to parties locally interested, to shareholders in the Warwick and Birmingham Canal, and the Rugby Warwick, and Worcester, the London and Birming ham Extension, and the Warwick and Worcester Railway Companies, The time within which parties must apply for Shares will expire on the 24th of January, 1846. In the event of the application to Parliament not being made in the session of 1846, the .whole of the deposits will be immediately re turned to the shareholders without any deduction for expenses or otherwise. Applications for Shares may be made in the undermentioned Form to the several solicitors and secretaries of the Company. _FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

In consequence of the " Lincoln, Horncastle, Spilsby, and Wain fleet Haven Railway " appearing in the list of schemes published in the " Times " newspaper of the 14th instant as having failed to de posit their plans on the 31st December, and as being therefore not prepared to proceed in Parliament ; the Committee of Management beg to recall to the Shareholders the statement contained in the let ters of allotment, that to the original scheme a branch from Boston to Wainfleet had been added, and that the Company would thence forth be styled. " the Lineola, Wainfleet Haven, and Boston Railway." The Committee also have the gratification of being able to allay any apprehensions caused by the " Times' " list to Shareholders, who may have forgotten the altered style of the Company, by refer ring them to those published lists which enumerate the Companies who have duly deposited, and by infnming them that they have in every respect complied . with Parliamentary requisitions, and are proceeding with their Bill for the Session now about to commence, with the warm support of Lord Bayning, Lord Willoughby d'Eresby, the Governors .of liethlem Hospital, and others of the largest landed proprietors whose-estates will be passed through by the line. Dated:ls th January, 1846. , SCOTT and TAHOURDIN, BOURNE and SON, Solicitors. M. HUISII, VVARINICK and CHELTENHAM JUNC TION RAILWAY COMPANY. The Directors have great satisfaction in informing the Shareholders that they have concluded an agreement for an amalgamation of this Company with the Warwickshire and London Company, and as the latter is a projected Company of the London and Birmingham, and the Midland Companies, the Directors congratulate the Shareholders on their prospects of obtaining the valuable line from Warwick to Cheltenham without an expensive Parliamentary contest, particularly as no ether Company has succeeded in depositing their plans for the entire line. By the terms of the amalgamation every shareholder in the War wick and Cheltenham Company will (subject to approval by a joint Committee), be intitled to two shares of 201. each in. the Warwick shire and London Company for every three in the former company. It will be requisite, in order to make up the 10 per cent. deposit, for the shareholders in the Warwick and Cheltenham to pay up 6d. per share on all the shares they now hold. As it has been found to be impossible to get in all the claims upon this Company in time to settle them before the issue of this. advertisement, the shareholders are also required to pay ss. per share on the number of shares they hold in this Company, towards the excess of expenditure over . and above the sum agreed to be paid by the Warwickshire Company. The above sums, amounting to ss. Gd. per share, to be paid to one of theundermentioned bankers on or before the 31st instant, and their scrip certificates to be lodged with the Secretary, at the offices, 3, Church-court, Old Jewry, London, on or before the 21st instant, ac companied by a statement in the form b dow, printed forms of which may be obtained at the office. They must also, if approved, sign the Warwickshire and Lond.on Parliamentary Deeds when required. Should any shareholder wish to retire, lie will be entitled to re ceive back the original deposit, deducting 12s. 6d. per share for ex penses, and the option must be exercised by written notice to the Secretary, on or before the 31st instant.

On the two other routes compared above, the advantages as to gradients and tunnelling greatly preponderate on the same side, that of the Boston, Newark, and Sheffield Railway ; and these, according to a principle lately most prominently announced by a great railway authority—" that the best railway is not always the shortest, but that which works best "—much more than compensates for its greater length of about three miles. - Besides, there are fourteen miles and a half of the route from Not tingham to Boston, via the Boston, Newark, and Sheffield Railway, already in the course of construction by the Midland Company, thereby rendering it necessary for the opposing lines to make eleven miles additional railway with very heavy gradients, in order to save three miles and a half in their distance, as compared with the Boston, Newark, and Sheffield line. A more minute statement of the comparative merits of these lines, which is now preparing, will, it is confidently anticipated, set at rest all doubts as to the superior engineering merits of the Boston, Newark, and Sheffield Railway, over its rival schemes, and establish its Parliamentary claims on an incontrovertible basis.

FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, JAN. 14.—The average prices of wheat in the week ending Saturday, January 10, was 23f. 97c., and that of rye 18f. 21c. per hectolitre. The Chamber of Representatives met yesterday. The Minister for Foreign Affairs presented 'the projects of law for modifying the tariff of customs of Belgium with regard to Holland. He read the statement on which the pro ject of law is founded, in which the situation of the two countries is clearly described, and which shows the position in which the Belgian Government has been, anti still is, in the course of the negotiations between Belgium and Holland; and, lastly, a narrative of all the measures relative to the customs which have been adopted, and the observations to which they have given oc casion on both sides. After having clearly explained the relations in respect to the Tariff as they were between Holland and Belgium, at the moment when the present Belgian Cabinet was formed, the statement proceeds to enumerate the facts which have since taken place, and explains what have been the proposals of the Belgian Government to Holland, of which it requires an exchange of favours, for some articles of the tariff of Customs. The Dutch Minister of Foreign Affair constantly rejected, as lie had always done ever since 1844, all the proposals of the Belgian Government. Belgium has constantly made all the advances—Holland has constantly disdained them. The statement comes to the last measures decreed by Holland, and shows the necessity in which the Belgian Government found itself, to place the manufactures and commerce of the Netherlands in a state of exception to the general law in Belgium, as the Government of the Netherlands had done with regard to the manufactures and commerce of Belgium. The project cf law modifying the tariff of Customs has been drawn up by virtue of the law of 16th August, 1822; it was necessary, but the Government declares that it considers the measures proposed as temporary, and, that it will neglect no means to affect a conciliation between the two countries. The statement and the project of law were ordered to be printed and referred to the Seetibns. The Chamber then proceeded to the general discussion of the Budget of the Department of Finance ANTWERP, JAN. 14.—An evil genius i 3 expecting war be tween two countries which have every reason in the world to live on terms of good neighbourhood. Who will profit by their misunderstanding? A stranger, the eternal enemy of their prosperity ! England, which will take the place of "lel giutn and Holland, and of Holland in Belgium.

If the Count Las Cases , _ who had the opportunity of recordin g d ur i ng only thirteen months, the conversations, &e., of Napoleon has nevertheless furnished us with the most curious revelations, what intense in' crest may not be expected to pervade ' The History of the Captivity of St. Helena ' —the work of one who shared, during Six YEARS, the agony of this new Prometheus ; who passed each hour of the day in talking with ,him on the events of his reign, or in writing at his dictation, who for forty-two nights ktpt watch over his death-bed ; who closed his eyes, and re ceived his last sigh ; and who has thus retained a record of each moment of that existence—of that period of ab sorbing, and yet serene remembrance. Unexpectel light will be diffused by the recital of General Month°. lon. Numbers of facts are now first made public in this work—numbers of false statements completely refuted." THE LATE LADY HESTER STANHOPE.— In no ticing the Memoirs, lately published, of this remarkable individual, the Chronicle observes:—" She was a person of great shrewdness and ability, who, in early life, en joyed every advantage, rank, wealth, and a brilliant po sition at the British Court could supply, and who, in later life exercised a species of sovereignty in Mount Leba non. In both positions she was a conspicuous person age—admired by many, feared by more, and wielding a degree of power over her fellow mortals which has rarely fallen to the lot of any woman not born in the purple,' and succeeding dominion, or not raised to it snbstan tially as a Royal favourite.
