The CHAIRMAN begged to observe that the proprietors must see that the Directots had acted upon the mere prin ciple of banking, and not like other other establishments, which had realized profits by speculations. Their profit was the result of a fair and legitimate investment of the ca pital, and by rapidly turning it over, keeping an ample amount within reach, on account of the signs of the times and the world in which they lived. The dividend now de clared was from bona fide profits on capital untouched. The other point to which he wished to advert was the decision of the Court in the case of the Bank of England against the London and Westminster Bank. Their delinquency was that they had ventured to accept bill s f or a l ess date CONTRACTS FOR WORKS. BIRMINGHAM AND GLOUCESTER RAILWAY.

THE GARDENER'S GAZETTE AND WEEKLY JOURNAL OF SCIENCE, LITERA TURE, AND POLITICS. No. 1., Published JANUARY 7th and &h, Price FIVEPENCE. It is not a little extraordinary that the llorticulturists of this king dom have had as yet no Journal to advocate their interests, or sup port their claims, for no class was ever better calculated to support a Journal, or occasionally more required its advocacy. We speak of Gardeners as scientific men—men who not only take an interest in the cultivation of the earth, but in genoral are reading men, calcu lating men, and, from the very nature of their profession, thinking, men ; nor does it alter our position if we take all the grades of Gar deners. The Duke of Devonshire is a Gardener; for though ho does not necessarily dig the ground, nor plant his own cabbages, he pays others for doing the labour and attending to his garden, from his head-man downwards, and takes an extraordinary interest in the results. Again, the poor man that cultivates a rod of ground is a Gardener, and takes as much pride, or as much interest in his avo cation as the most wealthy ; in fact, every body who takes an inte rest in a flower, or a vegetable, and studies its progress, is a Gar dener. Gardeners exist in all stations, from the labourer to the prince, just as the poorest soldier in the ranks is a soldier, as well as all above him, up to the Duke of Wellington ; in fact, as Mr. Hud son says or sings, " We're all Gardeners." The sort of Journal re quired, is one containing news of every thing that passes ; notices of all the new plants, constant reports of proceedings of all meet ings; systematic exposure of all evils ; censure of all abuses ; and above all things, when other interests are advancing at the expense of Gardening, a bold and uncompromising defence until the tido is turned, and, if necessary, an attack on its enemies afterwards. All these are essential. Turnpike Bills, the Tithe Question, Taxes, regulations for importing Foreign produce, and many other ques tions, have, may, and will again arise for the exercise of the whole strength and influence of a Journal ; and the superiority of a weekly over a monthly publication requires no comment. Had there been such a Journal in the days of alarm, when the malicious re port that vegetables were injurious to health and promoted Cholera was spread abroad, the gross delusion could have been dispelled in a few days, instead of operating in the ruinous abstinence of the pub lic for months, destroying thousands of pounds worth of business, and reaching all the classes, from the grower to the consumer. The announcement of two such Journals threatened to split the science into two parties, and, what is worse, to double the expense of making any thing public ; for as, in all probability, one or the other would find its way into the hands of every one interested in any branch of Horticultnre, and neither of the Journals much more than half, whatever it might be desirable to advertise, must have appeared in both ; and it is impossible not to foresee many other disadvantages. Happily, by an arrangement between the parties, the united strength of both will now be devoted to one Newspaper only, and this can be transmitted by the ordinary Post free of ex pense. Advertisements inserted will reach every Town and Vil lage in the Kingdom, and if we do not greatly underrate the classes who delight in Horticulture, from the highest to the lowest, tilere will scarcely be found one who does not, in the course of the week, peruse the Gardener's Gazette. The Newspaper will give a faithful record of all great political events abroad and at home, but it will not venture to give a political opinion of its own. Where a question is sufficiently important to deserve it, the most talented article that shall have appeared during the week on each side shall be inserted, that the readers may be well acquainted with the subject, and the name of the papers in which they have appeared shall be quoted. But when a question which affects the interests of any branch of Horticulture or Agricul ture may be agitated, the Gardeners' Gazette shall be foremost in the field, and not the least effective. It remains only for the Gardeners—we repeat again—from the Duke downwards, to do their duty by their Gazette, as faithfully as the Gazette will do its duty by them, and some of these duties the Proprietors will, in all modesty, venture to point nut :- 1. The Nobility anti Gentry throughout the kingdom should pro vide their Gardeners with it, free of expense. 2. The Gardeners who may not be so supplied, should order it nevertheless, and being practical men, should, whenever they have an opportunity, supply original papers on the cultivation, manage ment, and propagation, &c., of plants, descriptions of new ones, &c. &e. 3. The Secretaries of Horticultural Societies should exhort all their members to order it, advertise all their shows in it, and supply immediate returns of the prizes awarded at such shows (which re turns will be gratuitously inserted as News), and communicate whatever may be deemed useful information. 4. The members of such Societies who take in a weekly paper, should immediately order their Newsmen to change it for the Gar dener's Gazette ; such as do not take a Sunday paper, and cannot well afford it, should induce three or four others to join them. 5. Nurserymen should not only order it for their own guidance, for which it will be as necessary as their own stock-books, but they should also inform every customer of the advantages of possessing in a Newspaper a record of every thing thatirpassiffg in the Horti cultural and Agricultural world. _6. Nurserymen and dealers in every thing appertaining to horti culture, floriculture, arboriculture, farming and gardening, should adopt the Journal as the means of publishing their Advertisements, which, whether lists of plants, trees, shrubs, flowers, seeds, or de scriptions of tools, implements, machines, or of land, farming stock, or crops,—Auctioneer's catalogues, farms, houses or gardens to let, or any other subject, can thus be placed in a single week in the hands of every body at all interested in them. We will just apprise Gardners of all ranks that the expense of conducting the Gardener's Gazette will exceed two thousand pounds per annum : and that as the surplus on each Newspaper, beyond the cost of the stamp and paper, is one penny only, it re quires ten - thousand copies per week to be sold to meet this ex pense, and of which number at present little more than five thou sand are ordered ; much, therefore, remains to be done before the next year. Orders for the regular delivery of the Gardener's Gazette may be given to any Newsman or Clerk of the Road in the country, any Newsman in London, and in the want of eithel of those being in the neighbourhood, of a person who may require it, a letter (post paid) to the Editor, care of Westley and Clayton, 162, Piccadilly, and 7, Windsor -court, Strand, will insure the delivery by post on Sunday mornings.

DREADFUL EVENT-YOUGHAL, FEB. 21.—0 n Saturday evening, about four o'clock, a small boat left the ferry slip of this town fur the opposite shore in the countyof Water ford. The boat was exceedingly crowded, containing neatly five-and-twenty people, although - not calculated to hold more than twelve, exclusive of four boatmen. The boat reachect in safety the shore, when the boatmen got out and four or five passengers. By some accident at this time the boat was pushed from land, and immediately got into the deep water and strong current. The passengers had previously stood up in the boat for the purpose' of jumping ashore, when a large wave struck the stern ; the people were thrown down upon one another by the shock ; some fell over the sides of the boat, while the boat itself upset, and all were immersed in the water. Several of the unfortunate passengers disappeared at once, and were never seen to rise again ; some remained on the surface of the water, and floated down with the current. In a few minutes one or two boats reached the spot and picked up four persona, one of whom only was alive ; no more were to be seen. It is supposed not less than seventeen or twenty people have met a watery grave by this accident. They were all country people retura ing from the Youghal packet. On Sunday two bodies were .picked up. Yesterday (Monday) three were found consider ably up the river. We hair() not beard of any more of the suf ferers being discovered. It is, in fact, unknown how many hare perished. One man, who was the first to get out of the boat, rushed into the water to save a woman, when both sunk together and were drowned. It is a very general feeling in this town 'that the local authorities should interfere, and pre vent the boats taking more passengers than they severally can safely hold across a ferry over which the corporation have entire controul. Mr. Dennehy, . the Coroner, held several inquests yesterday, and is waiting in expectation of more bodies being found to-day. There has not occurred for thirty yetas such an accident on this ferry. A considerable sensation was caused in the town and neighbourhood, and very great sympathy is felt for the numerous friends' and relatives of the deceased persons. The corpse of Champion has been deposited in one of the subterraneous apartments of the prison, and was con veyed on Wednesday to the Morgue for the purposes of ex amination. Champion was about 45 years old. His body,. is covered with tatooing marks (a passion very general among the French lower classes, particularly soldiers and women of a profligate life), among which are the most singular descrip tions : upon his abdomen are the words " J' aime Flavie pour is crc." Upon his right arm is the sketch of a soldier attack ing a horse-soldier with his bayonet, and below the inscrip tion, "29 September, 1832. Porto." (Champion had served in 1832, in the army of Don Pedro.) Upon his left arm is a Cupid with bow and quiver and a flute. The girl Saget, who was Champion's mistress, is still in close confine ment at the Conciergeric, and is as yet ignorant of Cham pion's death, • , . NEWGATE AND LEA At per stone, ' s d to s d.

Wednesday the annual meeting of the proprietors of this bank took place at the London Tavern. The meeting was numerously attended. P. M. STEWART, Esq., M.P., in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said that this was the third annual meeting of the London and Westminster Bant, and be need not say that . the Directors had great pleasure in meet ing the proprietors on the present occasion. Under the peculiar circumstances of the money market, he felt it to be his duty to make a few remarks upon the report now sub mitted to them. The last year, as they well knew, had been one of great difficulty to all the moneyed and mercan• tile interests of the country, and this establishment ,amongst them had been the subject of remark and animadversion durinc , the months of trial. It was on this account that the Directors had great pleasure in submitting a plain and intelliLible account of their stewardship. The derangement and difficulty in the money market during these few months, which were primarily attributable to the conduct of others —(Hear, hear)—had increased the difficulties which all minor establishments had to contend with, and the Directors hoped, by the voucher which they had to submit to the pro prietors, that although their task had been one of difficulty, yet they had merited their confidence.—(Hear, hear.) In the early part of last year money was worth little or nothing, hut in the latter part such a change took place in the mone tary and mercantile world that it became valuable beyond all price. He had another remark to make—that, in de claring a dividend of five per cent., he must observe that a considerable portion of their capital was unemployed since the sth of April, and although the dividend to be declared was nominally five per gent., it:Was in fact considerably more on their available funds.—(Hear.) There was one other point that he must advert to ; and, standing there as a trustee, he was bound to do so—namely, the reports which had been circulated of the bad and doubtful debts of the establishment. Figures would show them that, not withstanding their business had vastly increased, yet the total amount of overdrawn bills was 4,0001—( Hear)—and the whole loss would not exceed 1,500/. or 1,700/. ( Hear.) Figures, like facts, would show the incorrectness of wild and wanton reports out of doors. In conclusion he would state that the Directors had had all arduous task to perform ; and if the simple meed of approVal by the Proprie tors were bestowed upon them, they would be amply re paid for the anxiety which they had experienced in the ma nagement of their affairs. The Secretary then read the following : REPORT. " The Directors have to lay before the Proprietors the re port of their management and transactions for the past year, being the third annual report of the London and Westminster Bank. " The increase of the establishment during that period has been very considerable, inasmuch as the paid-up capital has been augmented to 597,255/., and the profits have kept pace with the capital. " In addition to the 597,255/. capital stock, a sum of 41,998/. 10s. has been derived front premium on shares, the appropriation of which is stated in a special account appended to the general statement. These shares, to the number of 9,333, were issued, as was made known by public advertise ment, shortly after the last general meeting, at a premium of 4/. 10s. per share, and with a, fourth call on the original shares, which fell due in April, completed the capital above stated. The total number of shares now appropriated amounts to 29,864, held by 782 proprietors, which presents a basis of stability and security which cannot be questioned. " The accounts have been made up as usual to the 31st Dec., last, and the result is shown by the annexed statement. " The Directors have, accordingly, the pkasute to announce a dividend of five per cent, upon the . paid up capital, payable on Monday next. " After the payment of this dividend, and after providing a fund to meet the probable loss upon all bad and doubtful debts, there will remain a surplus balance of 7,027/. 6d. to the credit of profit and loss account, from which must he de ducted the amount of any vote that may be made for remune ration to the Directors. " Out of the sum raised by premium on shares, the Direc tors have paid all the preliminary expenses incurred before the opening of the Bank, as detailed in the first report. All the legal and other expenses since incurred and not connected with the ordinary business of the Bank (as hereafter (retailed), and all the preliminary expenses of opening four new branches —after the payment of all these expenses, there will remain a surplus balance on this account of 20,0031. 19s. sd. " When the difficulties and derangements which have pre vailed in the monetary and mercantile world for several months past are remembered, the result of the business transacted by the London and Westminster Bank, must be regarded as very favourable. " The branches of the establishment now amount to five, one having been opened in Marylebone, at No. 155, Oxford street, since the last meeting of Proprietors, and the whole of these—viz., in Waterloo-place, Marylebone, Bloomsbury, Whitechapel, and Southwark, arc in a prosperous state. The establishment is already much too large for the premises occu pied by it in Throgmorton-street, and the increase of business has made this inconvenience to be very sensibly felt. The Directors have aciordingly , taken measures for the purchase of spacious premises in the vicinity of their present offices. " They have bought the freehold property lately occupied by Messrs. Pearce, in Lothbury, for the sum of 14,2501., and negotiations are in progress for the purchase of an adjoining building. Though it will be necessary to pull down the pre sent houses, and to build anew, the situation is so eligible, and the site so ample for all the purposes and increasing prospects of the London anti Westminster Bank, that the Directors feel confident that the Proprietors will sanction so large an outlay. As it has been already said, the great increase of business tran sacted by the bank, made it absolutely necessary to extend its premises considerably, and when it is remembered, that in the short period of seven years, the Charter of the Bank of Eng land must be again brought before the legislature, there can-. not be a doubt that the law will then be framed so as to remove all impediments and give just encouragement to great banking Conip`inies. Thenarneof the London and Westminster Bank has been . brought' so much forward in connection with some of the recent occurrences in the money market, that the Di rectors feel it to be their duty to advert to these somewhat in detail, in order to put the whole matter in a true and intelligi ble light. During the late heavy pressure, two joint-stock banks having accounts with this establishment have been in dif ficulty. Of one of them, the Agricultural and Commercial Bank of Ireland, it is unnecessary to say more than that it has already discharged the whole of its debts. " In the other case, that of the Northern and Central Bank, it is incumbent on the Directors to advert more particularly, in order to counteract the many erroneous statements that have been made respecting the connection of the London and West minster Bank with that estdblishment. The Northern and Central Bank was instituted in Manchester in 1834. It eon ,,Nted of 1,204 partners, and a paid-up capitol of nearly 800,0001. Proposals were made in the beginning of last year for opening an account between the two establishments. The solidity of the Northern and Central Bank was undoubted. It had taken advantage of the facilities of the London Money Market to extend its business somewhat too rapidly, and in removing its agency to the London and Westminster Bank, asked fur liberal terms to meet any unforeseen emergency. The Directors, with a view to the ultimate benefit that might arrive froni so extensive a connection, granted such terms. These were not, however, sufficient for the pressure which existed du ring the latter period of the year, having closed the market upon which the Northern and Central Bank had been accus- tomed to rely. It was compelled to apply to the Bank of Eng land for assistance. The Bank of England, not doubting the solvency of the Northern and Central Bank, consented to ad. vance the sum of .500,000/. on certain conditions, one of which was, that the debt due from the Northern and Central Bank to its London agents should be postponed till the advance of the Bank of England was repaid. The Directors of the Lon don and Westminster Bank protesting against what they con ceived to be a preference of creditors, did, however, assent to this arrangement, believing, that it would be the means of placing the Northern and Central Bank, at an early period, in possession of its own funds. These expectations were not rea lised. Fresh demar.ds upon the Northern and Central Bank, in consequence of the notoriety of its negotiations with the of England, rendered necessary a second application to that body. The required aid was offered on the same conditions as before. A right of control over the affairs of the Northern and Central Dank was also added, together with such powers as, in effect, placed the whole estate of the4,Northern and Cen tral Bank in the hands of the Bank of England, by which ar rangement the London and Westminster Bank might have been kept out of its funds for an unlimited period. To such conditions the Directors demurred, and though they had the most perfect conviction of the solvency of the Northern and Central Bank itself, they felt it necessary to take such special security for the debt due from the Northern and Central Bank as would bring back their property within a reasonable time. Part of this security is already realised in their possession, and the whole debt will be recovered in July next, with interest at five per cent. from the time of its becoming due. The recent report of the Directors of the Northern and Central Bank would lead us, however, to expect that we shall receive our debt at an earlier period without haring recourse to these securities. " In conclusion, the Directors have to advert to the progress of the suit of the Bank of England against the London and Westminster Bank, for accepting bills at a shorter date than six months. As is publicly known, the case is now with the Master of the Rolls, before whom it was lately argued ; and judging from the arguments, the Directors await with confi dence the forthcoming decision of his Lordship. On this sub ject they repeat the words of their last report—vis., that how ever the question may be determined, it oannot arrest the suc cessful progress of the bank. " The Directors have only further to call the attention of the Proprietors to the retirement provided by the deed of three guments which had beeii used on their behalf, that Lord Langdale, before the case was argued, would decide in their favour.—(Hear.) He would observe, in the words of a distinguished Counsel, " It is a shame at this time of day, in a great ,commercial country, that such a question should be raised in a Court of Law."—(Hear.) But he would say, let the result be what it might, it should not hinder them froth prosecuting the affairs of the bank to a successful issue.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. BROWN wished to put one or two questions to the Chairman, with a view of eliciting information which it would be desirable that the public, or, at all events, the proprietors, should be in possession of. He wished to know what was the exact demands of the London and Westminster Bank upon the Northern and Central Bank ; and also the nature of the security held by the London and Westminster Bank for the payment of those demands ? He made this ,inquiry because he understood that they were creditors of the Northern and Bentral Cank to the extent of 200,000/. Mr. Brown then adverted to the con duct of the Bank of England in engrossing all the banking business they could ; their object being to erect branch banks upon the ruins of those joint-stock banks which they might injure. This was proved by their conduct in 1835. Ile contended that it was never intended by Parliament to restrict joint-stock banks in the metropolis from discount ing bills under six months ; and he thought that instead of wa'ting for the tardy decision of a court of law, they ought at once to go to Parliament, and call upon it to say if they intended to give the Bank of England such a power over rival establishments. He wished also to know how many joint-stock banks were connected with the London and Westminster Bank, and what number of private banks kept accounts with them ? He also wi s h e d to know if the Lond on an d Westminster Bank took in mort gages, or money at a dead lock ? He wished further to learn if inspectors had been appointed to look over the affairs of the Northern and Central Bank ; as also if the 4,000/. bad debts alluded to by the Chairman included all the bad debts of the concern since its commencement. The Hon. Proprietor took occasion to blame the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Lord Althorp for. the privileges which had been granted to the Bank of England on the renewal of the charter. He begged to ask for information upon the points to which he alluded. A PitoreteTon. suggested the impolicy of discussing the affairs of the Northern and Central Bank.—(Hear.) The CHAIRMAN said the transactions' they had had with the Northern and Central Bank had attained so much pub licity, that he felt no difficulty in answering the question. The London and Westminster Bank had advanced 50,0001., and had had engagements to furnish 100,000/. in case of emergency. The simple repay to the question of the Hon. Proprietor, as to appointing inspectors, was, that the debt was sufficiently secured, and that the money would be forth coming, with interest, by July. He would also inform the Proprietors, that the total amount of over-due bills did not exceed 4,500/., and from the most accurate investigation, from 1,500/. to 1,700/. would be the whole loss. The Directors had not locked up any part of their capital in dead securities. In reply to a question from another proprietor, The Hon. Cnatitmast said that the 2,000 shares allotted to the Northern and Central Bank was to the establish ment itself, and not to the Directors individually. In reply to another question put by the Hon. Proprietor, Mr. Brown, he begged to state that 20 joint-stock banks, hav ing about 150 branches and two private banks, were con nected with the London and Westminster Bank. Mr. SALOMONS, one of the Directors, stated that the Directors had not appropriated a single share to themselves beyond those originally taken. They had taken a portion of the new shares, paying the premium upon them as well as the public. The sheres allotted to the Northern and Central Bank, as well as in other parts of the country, had been paid upon, and the proceeds formed part of the pre sent capital of the establishment. The CHAInmAN complied with the wish of one of the Proprietors, that theaccounts of the Bank should be ready for the inspection of the Proprietors a week before the an nual meeting, Mr. \VALKER complimented the Chairman and the Di rectors upon the statements laid before the meeting, and moved that.3,oool. be allotted to them for their services during the past year. A PROPRIETOR was anxious to obtain information rela tive to the amount of deposits in the Bank, the amount of money in hand at interest, and the cost of the manage ment of the Bank and its branches. The CHAIRMAN submitted that it would be inexpedient that such qurs:ions should be answered, especially as their establishment stood alone, without receiving any encou ragement from its neighbours. An undue advantage might be taken of them if the questions were answered, and the information would not tend to any practical good. A SHAREHOLDER moved an amendment that 2,0001., instead of 3,000/., should be voted to the Directors. After some disetission, a vote passed for 2,5001., being the same amount as that granted last year. It was intimated by the CHAIRMAN that a list of the Proprietors and Directors was in course .of publication. Ile also stated, in reply to a question, that no informa tion had been received either .of the attendance of Mr. Grout or any of the Director;, to give evidence for the Committee appointed to inquire into the joint stock banks. In answer also to another question, he stated that it was not the intention of the Directors to apply to Parliament for amending the deci s:on of the ease in the Vice-Chancellor's Court by fresh powers, and that the -Di rec t ors h a d ma d e arrangetnents to prevent their losing any,of their connections in ease the de rision should be against them. He also stated, in reply to another question, that the lidnk had not suffered any loss by the failure of Mr. Anderson, a Director and Trustee ; but the Directors had lost an excellent coadjutor. With respect to the question put to him, whether any future call was intended, he could only say that no such call would be made, unless it was to increase the business and prosperity of the Bank. The report having been adopted and ordered to be printed, and a conversation having taken place relative to the affairs of the establishment, Mr. RENNIE, a Director, stated that the business profits of the establishment for the last year had been 32,000/. A vote of thanks was then passed to the. Chairman and Directors, and after the former had returned his acknow ledgments, and the three Directors had been re-elected, the meeting adjourned. i A public . meeting_ n favour of Clturch-ratc is an nounced as being about to take place in Liverpool very shortly. CAPTAIN SCOTT'S EGYPT AND CANDIA.- " This is an able work, full of amusement, and of sound in formation upon most important subjects. Captain Scott gives an admirable sketch of Mohamed Ali's life and character, with a lucid account of his system of Government, of his army, navy, finances, and of the immense changes which his system has produced throughout the country. We have an equally good biography of Ibrahim fasba, the real or supposed •son, but undoubtedly, the successor of Mohammed Ali. Captain Scott gives us, also, most vivid descriptions of the antiquities of Egypt, and his accounts of the population, with their modes of living, and the condition of all ranks of the people, are exceedingly interesting.
