As the meeting of Parliament approaches all par ties are filled with anxiety. They stand like soldiers on the eve of battle, pondering on the morrow's fight. All are agreed that a fierce struggle is at hand, yet the issue is hardly to be doubted. It needs no astro loger to tell us that free trade is in the ascendant; but the contest may be desperate and protracted for a while. The great body of the people are unanimous and resolved, and their resolution ensures the ulti mate triumph of the cause, but the duration of the conflict depends in a great measure on the conduct of those interested in the maintenance of protection. The necessities of the times and the wants of the people must influence the decision of any Govern ment, Conservative though it be. Apparently neither of these causes are sufficiently powerful to induce the aristocracy to yield an inch of their privileges. Even now, when the crisis is at hand, we find the Duke of RICHMOND and his brother protectionists upholding their favourite doctrines with all the acrimony and violence of desperation. " Protection' is the watchword in the ranks of monopoly ; like charity, it seems to cover a multitude of sins; it is truly a fine-sounding word, were it only as bond fide as it is beautiful. " Protection for the British farmer"— " Protection for native industry"— how plausible, how patronising does it appear. And the Noble Dukes are right : it is protection that they want ; but for whom ?—for themselves or the British farmer it is not difficult to determine. They indeed seek protection, not for British industry, but for British landed interests ; not for the farmers, but the owners of the soil. What avails it to have hereditary legislators if they are unable to legislate for them selves ? Where would be the glory and greatness of England if the "lords of the land" were not pro tected ? Who would then pay the mortgages on their estates, find portions for their daughters, seats in Parliament for their sons ?—who would furnish a gorgeous reception for royalty, or procure the delights of a battue for the courtly and refined ? Fear not, Noble Lords ! in the nineteenth century we could find no men barbarous enough to dim the lustre of the Peerage, or deprive the country of the privileges of protection! Feast on, therefore; there is but one objection, which no doubt your sagacity can easily remove. If the laws are only to be made for Peers, what is to become of the people ? Will your Lordships deign to answer so impertinent a question ? If we mistake not, you have already done so. The courteous kindness of nobility has proposed curry and such savoury condiments for the starving. Gracious condescension !—a few weeks may decide differently. In the meantime, we will leave "the friends of agriculture," and turn to a worthier portion of the exclusive class. The present number of the Oxford and Cambridge Review contains an admirable article on the " Corn-laws and the Aristocracy," written by one of the aristocracy themselves, and pourtraying the sentiments of the new generation. It is remark able for the moderation of its sentiments, the calm and soberminded view of the present position of the landowners. It is evident that a large number of the latter must be at present in a state of considerable perplexity; comparatively free from prejudice and perversity, they are restrained from any movement through fear of misrepresentation. To these a word in season will be most beneficial. Let them give their earnest attention to the article we have referred to ; it has evidently been written by one nursed in the pre judices of protection. Forced to think for himself, ne has found that " the corn-laws form no part of the English Constitution." His old convictions still exert their influence; he sees "little to be gained" by their repeal, yet he also sees "much to be ha zarded by their retention." The following is the ap propriate advice given to the aristocracy of England : " First, they may abandon at once and altogether the struggle, and adopting frankly and boldly their new position, with all its dangers, duties, and responsibilities, offer the corn-laws as a peace-offering to the genius of their Country, and thus prove to the world alike the disinterestedness of their past resistance, and the mag nanimity and courage of their present assent. This course, we believe, has found recommenders at pro tection head-quarters, and has the merit of settling the question for ever. It is either a bold and wise resolve, or a cowardly and stupid concession. Believing, as we do with the late Lord Spencer, with Lord Lyttelton, with Judge Coleridge, and Dr. Chalmers, that the land of England would not cease to be profitably cultivated, although individual cases of distress and hardship might occur, were the cern-laws to be repealed—we shall not upbraid the leaders of the country party with treason or cowardice if they adopt this course. Great dangers require great ventures, and the moral effect of the gen tlemen of England coming forward, and doing of them selves what neither Russell, nor Peel, nor Cobden could do without them, could not fail to be immense and salu tary. But this step, if taken, must be taken with unblanched cheek and gallant bearing. It is the brave venture of men who, uncompelled, for their country's sake, leap, Curtius- like, into the gulf : there mu s t b e no murmuring, no complaining , no voting against the first reading of a Bill, staying away on the second, an d voting for the third : no unnecessary abuse of others, no petulant attempts to render the sacrifice, if it be one, as little gracious as may be. If carried out in this magna nimous spirit. the aristocracy and gentlemen of England may rely on their resolve being appreciated by the people. No doubt the fatal concessions of the French aristocracy will be urged in bar of such a line of conduct, and the day that witnesses it will be designated the day of dupes ;' but are the cases really parallel ? Are the corn-laws truly part and parcel of the venerable remains e t.lllvindk,toen o ce f rc the old are lei oloeltnddh, they English en them,ngroel itss restoration, i ) aro i c i n s ew t ,i i dha t that e u annt t d i t o m,t, n hrbe. eDn beneficial pious sfi hrcaaeva Disraeli, revo lutions andur • wise at one time, the reverse at another • and to identi fy the existence or even the splendour of ;he E ngl i sh aris tocracy, with the corn-laws is as insulting to that order as it is in fact untrue." yse setti n g i we n g If these counsels be folloWed ztsthey deserve, By may augur well for the comings e ssion. themselves in violent opposition to all reform, the landowners may create a temporary disturbance— they will ensure their own downfal and disgrace ; by g i v i ng way for a time they will secure their own power, and find abundant "protection" in the grati tude of the people— " There is still a little left of time to do ~ That out of love, which w ill he out of hate." On their decision depends not so much the triumph of free trade, for that is secure without them, but on their decision depends the influence they them selves will possess on future occasions. We would warn them to beware in time ; there is such a thing as making a virtue of necessity, and there is also such a thing as passing the bounds of endurance. They have their choice—on their own heads be the conse quence. Whatever be the conduct of the older leaders, it is with pleasure we find the new generation have come to a decision. It would have been inconsistent, indeed, to have found those who ever advocate the cause of the suffering poor, ranged with their oppres sors to rob the people of their bread. Professing high Tory principles, the writer of this article de clares he feels "too great a confidence in English energy, English skill, English soil, and English climate, to look with dread on a competition with foreign farmers," concluding with these words : " Should our attempt fail, as we fear it will, and this country, that might be so powerful in its internal con cord, and must be so weak in its divisions, be separated into:two hostile factions ;—should 'Delenda est Cat thago' be the cry from one camp, answered by No surrender,' from the other, then we trust, that all those who think with us that now by a bold wisdom on the part of the aristocracy the country may be spared the miseries of that strife, will then, their counsel having been rejected, and their generals determined upon war, share with them the dangers of this campaign, and fight with a good courage, though, like blameless Falkland,' with a dejected spirit and a troubled mind. If there be dif ferences of opinion at the council, let there be none in the action. It is to aid those deliberations that these pages are written ; not to throw difficulties in the way of their accomplishment. But, in the words of Scott, • the times flies fast on: let us resolve either for peace or war ; and let it not be said of us in future days, that six thousand Scottish men in arms had neither the courage t o stand their ground and fight it out, nor prudence to treat for peace, nor even the coward's wisdom to retreat in good time and safety.' " The horrors excited by public executions, and more especially the scenes which occurred on Monday, when two persons were put to death for the greatest of all crimes —murder, have induced some of our Contem poraries to advocate the abolition of all capital punish ments. Such exertions deserve praise for humanity ; possibly they may be beneficial, too, in promoting civilisation, as they tend to discourage the morbid appetite of the vulgar for such sights, and hold up to public reprobation all those who can take an interest of any kind in the violent death of a fellow-creature. But, admitting these and other advantages, the question is still one of great difficulty, and it would become the Government and the Legislature to weigh well every probable result before any material alteration be made in the existing law. We are decidedly opposed to what are called " legal murders," as measures of punishment, and admit that they may not be so effectual in deterring mankind from com mitting great crimes as some legislators maintain, but still they may be justified on other grounds, and mainly on the ground that the life of no human being is to be placed in danger from the wicked propensities or violent passions of another. Suppose a secondary punishment is inflicted, and these wretched criminals are banished to Norfolk Island for life, is there any security that they will not repeat the crime upon an unsuspecting companion in affliction, or upon their taskmaster, or some other innocent human being whom their ungovernable temper, reckless of life, may devote to destruction ? There is, in fact, no security whatever. Nay, on the contrary, such a result has frequently occurred ; and it is no uncom mon news to receive from our penal settlements that a convict, guilty of homicide, with circumstances rendering it almost equal to murder, or another, whose depraved nature neither kindness nor severity could modify, had murdered his comrade, and ex piated his offence on the gibbet. Have the Judges, or the jury who recommended such persons to mercy, nothing to answer for ? Is the Government entirely free of blame in letting loose upon society, or even keeping in imperfect control, such dangerous cha racters, and thereby becoming, to a certain degree, blameable for the second murder of a human being ? It is impossible to guard against such deplorable deeds of cruelty by ordinary measures of restraint. Neither shackles, nor bars, nor any other means less frightful than death itself, will effect the purpose; and is it not better, therefore, that ten persons, nay, hun dreds, should suffer an ignominious and a just death, than that one human being, guilty of no crime, should be hurried, unprepared, into the presence of his Great JUDGE ? Looking at the crimes committed by the two 'wretched beings executed yesterday, What man can feel sympathy for their fate ? The one, a young woman, forgot the confi dence reposed in her by the unfortunate victim of her cruelty, rose in the night, and, with a rope, which she had purposely prepared, strangled while asleep her unsuspecting companion, that she might carry off undisturbed the paltry sum of five pounds. She might well repeat again and again on the scaffold " I deserve it, I deserve it." The other criminal murdered his fellow-labourer in a moment for saying a few words to his master. We will not appeal to the authority of Scripture, strong as it is, for sanctioning the execution of such barbarous criminals, nor say that public executions may not, by their frequency, tend to brutalise the mind; but the question is, can they, with safety to the innocent, be entirely dispensed with ? May nut the good far counterbalance the evil ? and is it just that any man's life should be placed in jeopardy for the sake of carrying out a doubtful principle ? Some jurists have gone a great deal farther, and would in flict the punishment of death on every person who took away the life of another. Even the humane SMOLLETT would apply it to lunatics. In closing his reflections on the execution of Earl FEMURS, he says— " Perhaps it might be no absurd or unreasonable re gulation in the Legislature, to divest all lunatics of the privilege of insanity, and, in cases of enormity, subject them to the common penalties of the law ; for though, in the eye of casuistry, consciousness must enter into the constitution of guilt, the consequences of murder com mitted by a maniac may be as pernicious to society as those of the most criminal and deliberate assassination : and the punishment of death can be hardly deemed un just or rigorous, when inflicted upon a mischievous being, divested of all the perceptions of reason and humanity." We have intelligence from Madrid of the 29th ult. The Senate had met on that day, when some of the usual sessional arrangements were made. They were to meet on the 30th to discuss the Address in reply to the Royal Speech. The Three per Cents. closed at 361 for cash, and 364 1 at 60 days; and the Five per Cents. at 23/ for cash, and 23i at 60 days. Most of the Paris papers of Sunday contain arti cles on the Budget presented to the Chamber on the previous day by the Finance Minister, of which we gave the chief items yesterday. The public appears to he well satisfied with the statement, and its effect on the money market was favourable. Even the Opposition journals can say little against it, and both the Commerce and the National merely complain that when the finances are so prosperous, M. LACAVE LA PLAGNE has broken his pledge of last year, and refused to reduce the Five per Cent. Stock. The former admits that the extraordinary vote of credit for naval constructions and stores is very large. This vote, however, will be extended over several years, the sum to be taken this year being not more than 13,000,000 f. (520,0001.) Mr. POLK'S insolent remarks respecting the interference of European States with his unjustifiable encroachments on Mexico has probably been the main cause of this vote for strengthening the French navy. lhe Preece, an Opposition journal, adverts to the financial statement in favourable terms. " The statement of the Minister," it says, " demonstrates that France has escaped the scarcity of provisions which affects other nations. 'We shall thus be free for a certain rise in price in some of the necessaries of life, and this additional dearness will last but a short time, as the approaching harvest is announced under the most favourable auspices. The Minister of Finance is, moreover, occupied with the consideration of measures to prevent the recurrence of the com mercial crisis which, during some weeks, pressed upon the money market of Paris, and which now ap pears to have arrived at its term." The Committee of the Chamber of Peers had appointed Count PORTALIS to draw up the Address in answer to the KISG'S Speech. Accounts had been received from Algeria, dated December 27.

In the province of Dellys the tribes were said to be perfectly tranquil. But little business was done in the Funds on Sunday, but they were more firm than on Saturday, and the Three per Cents. had risen to 831. 10c.

To the Address of the Lord Mayor and Corporation of the City of Dublin, presented to her Most Gracious Majesty on Saturday, at Windsor Palace, published by us on Monday, her Majesty was pleased to return the following reply:— " I have heard with pain the statement which you have thought it necessary to address to me respecting the extreme poverty of a portion of my Irish subjects, and the aggravation of their distress which you antici pate, from a deficiency of food, in the present year. " The welfare and prosperity of Ireland are objects of my constant care and earnest solicitude; and the failure of the last potato crop, and its apprehended consequences, have not escaped my attention. " I have directed precautions to be taken which may, I trust, alleviate the evils unavoidably attendant on this calamity, and I have summoned Parliament to meet on an early day. - - " I li)ok With confidence to the advice which I shall receive from the united council of the realm, and I shall rejoice if measures can be devised which, under the blessing of Divine Providence, may relieve the wants of my Irish people, may improve their condition, and insure their future happiness and contentment." FLANDERS NAIL. BRUSSELS, JAIL 3.—The King, accompanied by Mr. Conway, set out this morning for his estate at Ardenne. His Majesty will be absent about a week. Baron d'Arnem had the honour, on the 2d of this month at noon, to deliver to his Majesty, in a private audience, the letters which put an end to his mission as Envoy xtraordinary Minister Plenipotentiary of the King of Russia. The Minister of Public Works gives notice that, in order to facilitate the conveyance of passengers and mails to England, the departure of the first train from Ghent to Ostend, which at present takes place at forty five minutes past six in the,morning, will, from the sth of .Tanuary, take place at six in the morning. In consequence, the passage of this train through the intermediate stations between Ghent and Ostend will be likewise forty -fis e minutes earlier. h e waters began to subside yesterday. The Messager de Guard of yesterday, the 2d, says —" The inundation in our city at this moment has obliged twelve of our manufacturers to stop work. This disaster throws a great number of workmen out of employment, and deprives them of the means of gaining their livelihood, for the number of days' work in a week in these twelve manufactories is equivaient to morc than 20,000 francs in wages. BRUGES, JAN. 2.—We lately stated that a deputa tion of the Magistrates had gone to Brussels to ask for a modification in the tariff of duties on German thread, and that Mr. Bryaval, Director of the Customs, had been summoned to the capital to confer with the Minister of Finance on this important question. We have now great pleasure in announcing that Mr. Bryaval was informed yesterday of the measures just taken by the Minister of Finance. Henceforth the thread of Westphalia will be admitted at reduced duties, con formably to the desire of the petitioners of Bruges. We do not see from these lines on what basis the peti tioners ask for the admission of Westphalia thread into Belgium. We presume that they solicit the admission of a quantity of thread for the manufacture of mattresses, equal to that which is already admitted for the manu facture of ticking. The receipts of the Custom-house of Antwerp in the month of December was 495,060 f. The receipts for the whole year 1845 was 6,145,557 f. That of the year 1844 was 6,289,307f.—8ru55e1s Papers, Jan. 4. BERLIN, DEC. 26.—A great sensation has been caused among the holders of shares in the iron railway, when the want of money is already severely felt by an an nouncement of the directors of the Lower Silesian and Marks Railway that, notwithstanding the addition :of a grant of money already obtained, they have again made a mistake to the amount of no less than three millions and a half of dollars, which are required to complete the work after all the shares have been paid up. This amendment was quite unexpected by the public, but some speculators appear to have been aware of it, and to have speculated on a fall of the shares, which, in fact, are now at their nominal worth, after rising in the spring of 1844 to 128, which was the highest prices they ever attained.—Allgemetne Zeitung, Dec. 31. JEDBURGII.—LORD JOHN RUSSELL.—The greatest excitement was created here on Tuesday last, by its being bruited that Lord John Russell was expected by the Chevy Chace from Newcastle ; and it being market day, the crowd became more dense as the time of arrival drew nigh, but only to be disappointed, as his Lordship was posting it through. This announcement made by the guard, tended to keep the feeling of curiosity alire ; and at last their patience was rewarded, for, about four o'clock, a private carriage, containing his Lordship only, drove up to the Eagle Inn, and was immediately sur rounded by an admiring throng. Lord Minto's carriage being awaiting his arrival, he entered it and drove off to Minto Castle amid the acclamations of the gratified crowd. His Lordship seemed considerably fatigued.— Glasgow Saturday Po t. Dr. Forster, the Foreign Secretary to the Ani mals' Friend Society, has just given the gratifying intelli gence to L. Gompertz, Esq., the Hon. Secretary, that they had at length got a law of police at Brussels which imposes a fine upon every person who cruelly strikes a horse or ass, cow, dog, &c., in the street. Dar' and Countes. , :, Nelson, and a family circle, are passing the holidays at Trafalgar-park, near Salisbury. The Earl and Countess of Glengall, and the youth ful Ladies Butler, are passing the holidays at Caher Castle, Tipperary. The Noble Earl, who is in the enjoyment of im proved health, has not visited town for two seasons. COMMISSION of LUNACY.—On Saturday, Mr. Commissioner Barlow held an inquiry at the White Hart, Clapham, before a respectable jury, into the state of mind of Mrs. Alice M'Queen, a maiden lady of fortune, 55 years of age, an inmate of Brook House. Mr. Prendergast supported the commission, which was unopposed. From the evidence of the unfortunate lady's friends, confirmed by Dr. Sylvester, of Clapham, and Dr. Monroe, it appeared that her mind had been affected for the last three years, during which time she had entered into engagements with owners of property in Scotland, Devonshire, and Clapham, and hadjailed to take possession, the result of which had been several notices of actions in the Court of Chancery. During her residence at Clapham she betrayed such unequivocal symptoms of insanity as to call for restraint. The delusions under which she laboured were of a most singu lar character ; believing that the food given her con sisted of human flesh and bones, and that the tea was human blood, she resolutely refused to eat or drink for a period of four days together. She refused to go to bed, aver ring that dogs were under the clothes. In a state of alter nate hilarity and dejection, she was visited by Drs. Sylvester and Monroe, whom she declared to be rank impostors, their object being to ransack the house. She believed, too, that she was living in coffins filled with dead bodies. Other evi dence of a similar character having been adduced, the Com missioner said he had just seen the unfortunate lady, whose situation was truly pitiable. She could not be placed before the jury, but, if deemed necessary, they might examine her. The jury refused to come to a decision without seeing her, and accordingly visited her in Dr. Monrce's establishment. The jury on their return declared their verdict, " That Alice M'Queen had been of unsound mind from the Ist of January, 1845, and was incapable of taking care of herself or her pro perty." ALTERATION OF MAILS.—An alteration has been made in the Post-office communication between London and Hereford and South Wales, whereby Gloucester will become the route of an additional mail—namely, that of Aberyst• with. This mail, which has hitherto proceeded via Chelten ham and Tewkesbury, will, on and after Tues:lay next, take the route of Gloucester and Ledbury to Hereford, &c. It will leave Gloucester at ten minutes past three in the after noon daily, or rather in half an hour after the arrival of the London day mail, which is not always very punctual to time ; and the return mail will arrive at Gloucester at half-past seven in the evening, in time for the north mail. Letters from Gloucester to Hereford ought to be posted by half-past two in the afternoon, and they will be delivered the same night.— Carmarthen Journal. ANCESTRY OF SIR ROBERT PEEL.—Much has been said of the lowliness of the Peel family, and no little misconception indulged in with respect to the obscurity of its descent. The following details, founded on unquestion able data, will show that, though devoid of all claims to the pride and pomp of heraldry, it can be traced back for several generations through a line of respectable progenitors; the great granduncle of the late Baronet, the Rev. Nicholas Peele, having held the curacy of Blackburn, in Lancashire, so far back as 1650. The name we find originally written with a final e, and a family of Peele was, as early as the beginning of the fifteenth century, seised of lands in Sales bury and Wilpshire, districts in the lower division of Black burn, Lancashire. About the close of the next century, Robert Peele left the parish of East Marton, in Craven, and settled at Hole House, in the hundred of Blackburn, with which his descendants have ever since been connected. He died in 1608, leaving a son, William Peels, of Hole House, who died in 1651, leaving by Margaret Livesey his wife, whom he married in 1619, a son, Robert Peele, of Hole House, whose two sons were Robert Peele, of Peele Fold, Oswaldtwistle, and the Rev. Nicholas Peels, curate of Black burn. The elder, Robert Peele, of Peele Fold, married in 1681, Anne Wards, and died in 1733, leaving one son, Wil liam Peele, of Peele Fold, who married in 1712, Anne, daughter of Laurence Walmesley, of Upper Darwent, and was father of Robert Peel, of Peele Fold, who, by Mary his wife, daughter of Edmund Haworth, of Blackburpe, bad a large family, the third son of which was the late Sir Robert Peel, Bart.—Patrician. produced, Saturday as usual,morning vio i e(nnto gates.do ub done is incredible.

The ssles of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 6,000 bales. The market was steady, but without any animation. Sales, 500 bales Pernam, at 5 1 4 d. to 5%d.; 400 Egyptian at 5 3 / 4 d. to 7d. ; 650 Sarat, at 2 1 d. to 3 3 / 4 d. ; and 4,500 Ame rican at 3 1 / d. to 6d. per lb. A considerable business was done in Railway Shares at full prices. The statement of the revenue has not disappointed the ex•. yetations of those who take a warm interest in such matters as exhibit the prosperity of the country. The falling off in the Customs most unquestionably is to be attri buted to two causes—one very generally under stood, the other not yet alluded to. Perfectly true it is, in the first instance, that the reduction and the abolition of duties upon imports has made a serious inroad temporarily upon receipts, but the great cause of the diminution is to be found, as far as the last three months are concerned, in the general apathy on the part of the commer cial interests to engage in new operations until some thing definitive is known with respect to the future status of the corn-laws. Upon the whole, it is considered in the City that the revenue returns bears a satisfactory character, and a decided feeling is gene ral that there are good grounds for a relaxation of the in come-tax. The Premier, in the opinion of many, would do well were he to limit the impost to those who have 5001. a year and above, and not to the low sum of 150/. Mr. Tuck, the compiler of the " Railway Shareholder's Manual," gives us, in his seventh edition, a fair illustration of the absurd apprehensions sought to be inculcated on the subject of railway extension. The writer very justly states : " But, were Parliament to sanction all the projects that have complied with the standing orders, requiring 200 millions of capital, the country could carry the whole into effect. without feeling the slightest symptom of exhaustion or distress ; and should this be the case, we shall have abundant opportunity to test the assertion, so pompously put forth by the Times, that we cannot add 50 millions of money to railway enterprize without the most ruinous, universal, and desperate confusion.' It would be impossible to complete these lines in a less period than four years, and that would give an expenditure of fifty millions per annum. Nov, this country raises from its own population for Queen's taxes, poor-rates, church-rates, highway-rates, county-rates, and municipal imposts, a sum considerably beyond 100 millions per annum : it has been doing this for years, yet no one infers that it cannot continue to do it for many years to come. In this instance it takes from productive labour by the expensive machinery of taxation above 100 millions per annum, and distributes the amount on unproductive labour, and yet we are gr vely told that the country cannot expend 50 millions a year upon pr. ductive labour without producing the most ' ruinous, universal, and desperate co fusion.' " It is no doubt true, that if the 50 millions were required to be got together by any given day, some effect would be produced on the country by the temporary scarcity of money, as would also be the case if the 100 millions annually raised by taxation were withdrawn from circulation, and not let loose until the end of the year." The Public Securities have been very well supported to day, and it is evident that the revenue returns inspire con siderable confidence. Consols have been marked 94% to 95 ex-dividend, and for time 94% to 95; special transfers have been made to-day.

The half-yearly general meeting of the Proprictort,j the Colonial Bank was held yesterday at the Lo' j , Tavern, in pursuance of the provisions of the chaT 4 for the purpose of receiving the report of the proceed l 7 o of the Corporation, and for the election of four Direct c, and one Auditor, in the room of John Irving+, Marry at, James Cavan, John Gurney Hoare, and Fletcher, Esqs., and other business. loet J. COLVILLE, Esq., took the chair at one o'c- 0 upon doing which he stated that it was doubtless ko c cor to all, that since they met last they had had the Ivi l io s tune to lose their Chairman— an event which be sure would be severely felt by all the Proprietors. o f present meeting had been convened for the purpose electing a Director in his room, and for other businee e ' 6 The SECRETARY then read the report of the Diretif. from which it appeared that th e p ro fi ts o f t h e l a st 'to year amounted to 16,9051. 19s. 10d., and the Diree of recommended a c ividend of 1 per c en t, f or t h e half ll ,o ending June, 1845, being at the rate of 2 p e r cent~:4l annum, which would leave a sum of 10,0004 and up" for meeting the bad and doubtful debt account. to rl Mr. HARRISON thought that, at least, the ProPr' e .,4 had a right to expect from such profits a half-Ye e T e 3 dividend of 2 per cent. If that was not ac c o s t3n to, he trusted the Proprietors would be content with He would move, as an amendment, th a t th e &g lu ;01 e should be 2 per cent. , o ec Mr. LEVY hoped the Hon. Prop r i e t or wou ld Itc"rdid severe in his amendment, because he was sure it be the result would be they should have nothing.—V i hear.) He looked upon the r ecommen d at ion 0 0 11 Directors as a turning of the corner, and augure d s o from it. There was now a chance of the Proprie having something. that The CHAIRMAN could ass ure th e P ropr i e t ors lir Directors, in proposing this small dividend, were Ic or sited by a desire to do so me thi ng . H e h ope d the o r jority of the Proprietors would support the recon o A l dation made to them by the Di rectors , o f a d i vide' one per cent. After some discussion Mr. Harrison w ithdre amendment ; and the report, to ge th er w i t h t he re ci o mendation of the Directors of a dividend for half-year of 1 per cent was agreed to. Mec " The different Directors who w en t ou t o f 0 0 • 1 rotation were re-elected. Mr. Cave, the late auditor, ip o elected a Director in the room of the late John 1 0 0 Esq ; 11. Barclay, Esq., M.P., was elected auditor in r.,0t0 of Mr. Cave; and, upon the motion of Mr. Har l. „, l o a vote of thanks and full confidence i n th e Dire was unanimously carried, after whi c h t h e meeting self rated.
