CAUTION TO PERSONS NEGLECT. ING THEIR TEETH AND GUMS. RRTRACT FROM MONS. LE DRAYS “TREATISE ON LOSS OF TEETH." Among the various disorders of the Mouth, there is none more destructive than Scurvy, which on first entering the Gums causes them to bleed on the most trifling occasions, and pro sluices the most offensive aid frequently putrid breath. A soft substance invariably accumulates around the necks of' the Teeth, penetrates into the Gums, which gradually waste away, and the Teeth thin become loose, and drop out whole from their sockets, and it is 'well known thst the loss of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other. On this subject a distinguished Lecturer makes the following observations :—" When the disgusting effects of this accumii ittion are contiderei, it would appear impossible that any per '4•ekion could be necessary to induce person s t o o b v i a t e so great tnuisance even on their own account : or if they are too (le ased to procure their own comfort and cleanliness by employ ne a skilful Dentist, they surely have no right to shock die fee) of ethers, who possess s o o nme delicacy and propriety of ing than themselves. Yet, it is ; and the sight and the 144 41 are alike constantly outraged by the filthiness of some i 4 ople, who seem to obtrude their faces the closer in proportion ° Ulu disgust which they occasion."—Bell's Lectures, p. 199. Could such persons only see the horrid state of their teeth r 4 Puns or for a moment catch the odour of their own reath, th ' ey would not hesitate to seek immediate relief. To ,Prufessional men, shop-keepers, and tradesmen generally, who • nthe much intercourse with the refined and fashionable world, LFC?od state of the mouth must be of the greatest importance ! es_ides, i s not an offensive breath, which in nineteen cases out f w euty proceeds from the bad state of the teeth and gums, 7 1 1; much calculated to prevent the blessing of matrimony? e " f n t q h :ow often, from inadvertence or neglect, is the happiness '"suse ? a_ In rria,ge state mo s t g rievously interupted by th e same _ . The ineonveniencies attending the Loss of Teeth are too well known to require comment, but to those who have not ex tur‘eti rerienced the comfort of Artificial Teeth, Monsieur Le Dray to desirous of show ins some of the difficulties more or less en • by every ainlividual without them. When the Teeth are ''''s it is impossible to make use of solid food ; and if the 'tllornach is then loaded with pieces without being masticated, . e Patient is exposed to the most distressing insiigestions, the Istomach loses its power of contraction, and becomes weak in , I ,..:P r ' r rio/1 as it no longer digests ; besides, when the Teeth e ve res a great vacuum is left in the mouth, which occasions e•ft , r Y Muscl e in the face to be distorted, and the whole features t so insist on the - e,e°raPlatly drawn from their original position. so essential, or tope importance of the teeth, whether in regard aorethe functions of digestion and articulation, to which they r. which they are so much c nal appearance, in oneerned m •t appear a waste of words, were it not obvious that the ' —us a 'who never give themselves the t re are many persons aware that th u-)cn all while their gross and cul pable ~ ey possess teeth at a , negllgenee renders tha fact too apparent to their friends and associates. Sel‘.lastification is the first process of digestion, and unless it d uly performed, the subsquent processes can never go on ?roperly. 80 essential is this preparatory process, that the neglect of it Zls sufficient to occasion indigestion, a disordered stomach, ner -4 debility, depression of spirits, the skin becomes rough and ged of a le adthe eyes lose their brilliancy, the lips "bet colour on bue, and, in a d, it is no ncommon thing for the wholever milli body to receive such wor a shock as to u cause relaxation fore the whole system, which produces an irritable temper, quite ri igo to the natural disposition, whereby we become au an 'lance to our friends, and b h to ourselves. But I need a urt en not dwell upon the numberless concomitant evils which may thes owe their origin to imperfect mastication. It is sufficient r 0 kno w that Monsieur Le Dray's improvements will be round to b e many years in advance of any system now in Eu the ° Pe teeth :st and that artificial D ~ are brought to suc h p er f ect i on, at s. abitshme n t, No. 60, Newman -street, Oxford-street, as to „ perf orm this function in a manner equal in every r es p ec t t o rile natur a l teeth, and may be used with every comfort. Th ey ar e so arranged as to restore the lace to its former youthful va st, co rrect i ng all deformities of the mouth, and entirely doing "ay with the old system of springs, clasps, and wires. i As an essential point of beauty, the teeth must ever sten.. rrie-eminent. No regularity of features, no brilliancy P' e lon, no sparkling eves, or silken braids of jetty hair can I'"ncier that lad beautiful, who when she opens her lips d k i tho ugh they be of coral), discloses a set of teeth irregular or .;1 3 ," 1 °‘ored -• On the contrary, even homely features and a -- "" v complexion are embellished and rendered agreeable by a g o od se c t t„th, A mouth large and ill-formed will pass l'onntieed, when it contains teeth beautifully white and oven. On the other hand the effects of decay, the accumulation of brartar, eath the bl ac k ene d an d d enu d e d f angs, and the taint of the , which is a common concomitant of bad te e th, w ill lavariably prove disgusting and loathsome.

The above-named Company has been formed with a view to introduce to public attention a projected improvement in the construction of railways, from which it is confidently expected that the most important benefits will be derived by the country at large. It may suffice briefly to state, that the prominent advantages over the prevailing system which the new principle offers are 1. The preservation of life and property from those melan choly accidents which have lately so frequently occurred, com bined with facilities for travelling with equal speed, and in creased comfort and security, at diminished rates. 2. A considerable saving of expenditure, inasmuch as a railway on the plan proposed (which will almost supersede the necessity of tunnelling or embanking) may be constructed in less time, and at two-thirds of the cost, of one of similar ex tent now in ordinary use, and the annual charge of repairs be reduced by 70 per cent. Entertaining a firm conviction that this novel and truly ex. cellent invention is not only eminently adapted to answer the purposes contemplated by the ingenious proprietor, Mr. Ran geley, but to open to capitalists a channel for profitable invest ment in the promotion of an enterprise of great national in terest, the Company propose td prefer the fairest claim to encouragement and support by constructing, in the first instance, a railway only of sufficient dimensions to enable the public to judge of its efficiency when carried into more extensive opera tion ; and for such purpose to limit the liability of persons de sirous of becoming shareholders to a deposit of 1/. only on each share taken, beyond which trifling advance, no responsibility can be incurred, until the success of the experiment shall have been ascertained, of which no doubt exists. Models and drawings of the proposed Railway may be seen and examined, and prospectuses, containing every requisite in formation, obtained at the Company's offices, 1, Walbrook buildings, Walbrook, London, where applications for shares may be made.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tions, which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the ordinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho, from Ten till Three, and Five till Eight in the Evening; and Country Patients are re quested to be as minnte as possible in the detail of their cases, —as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, ge neral habits of living, and occupation in life of the party ; the communication must, be accompanied by the "usual Consulta tion Fee of 11. ," without which no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all cases, the most inviolable :pereey may be relied en. THE TOILET of BEAUTY furnishes in numerable proofs of the high estimation in which GOWLAND'S LOTION is held by the most distinguished possessors of brilliant complexions.

To successfully oppose these inno vations, the ladies have a powerful friend in Rowland's Kalydor, which, as a renovating and refreshing wash, will be found truly grateful, dispelling the cloud of lan gour from the complexion, and immediately affording the pleasing sensation attending restored elasticity to the skin. Front T. J. Pettigrew, Esq., Surgeon, F.R.S., to Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly, opposite the York Hotel, and 76, King William-street, Bank of England.—" Gentlemen,—l have no hesitation in replying to your inquiry as to the results obtained by the use of your improved spectacles; being in the constant habit of reading and writing for many hours together by lamp-light, it is but justice to say, that your newly-invented spectacle lenses have afforded me the greatest comfort. When I employed the ordinary pebbles, I never failed to experience in the morning a great irritation in the eyes. Since I have used your admirable glasses I suffer from no inconvenience of the kind. I shall ever feel grateful to my good friend, Dr. Blundell, for having drawn my attention to the subject. —Believe me to be your's, very respectfully, T. J. Pe•rrrcaew, 8, Saville.row, Jan. 4, 1539."—" M. G. Sir Howard Elphinstone bogs leave to say that the Spectacles he has now had some time in use, have fully redeemed the assurance of the Messrs. S. and B. Solo moos as to their excellence, and having found so much comfort and advantage from their use, far preferable to every other kind of Glasses which he has been in the constant habit of making use of for a great number of years.-13, Norfolk-street, Park-lane, the 6th of N..vember, 1840." The Messrs. Solomons' Operative Voice Con ducter, when fixed into the cavity of the ear, the faintest whisper at a I üblic assembly is heard with distinctness.—No connexion with persons of the same name. E. Solomons and Co., Opticians to the Royal Fare ly, have invented Voice-Conductors, by the use of which deaf persons will experience the most incalculable benefits.

'When placed in the e irs, the wearer is enabled to hear, with distinctness, the voice of a distant speaker in church, theatre, or public assembly. Great praise is due to E. Solomons and Co., for their invention of the Patent Spectacles, which possess many decided and superior ad vantages over all others in present use, being lighter in construc tion, and convey a refreshing coolness to the sight when engaged at anv minute employment, either by day or candle light ; in fact, they seem, from their exquisite finish, to complete the triumph of this department of the science of optics.

E'•ECTIONS OF THE CITY OF LONDON.- Yesterday a requisition was in circulation in the different Wards of the City of London, the object of which was to re quest that Lord :lolin Russell, the Secretary for the Colonies, would offer himself as a candidate at the next election. It ts expected to be most numerously signed. The following is a copy of the requisition :—" To Lord John Russell, Al. P. We the undersigned electors of the City of London do hereby re quest that you will in the event of a dissolution of Parliament permit yourself to be put in nomination to represent the City of London in the ensuing Parliament." THE IRON TRADE.—A meeting of the princi pal ironmasters of the neighbourhood of S‘ olverhampton was held on Monday, the sth instant, at which it was determined (we are informed) that fifty furnaces should be " blown ou'," viz., thirty-five in Staffordshire and fifteen in Sh rops hi re. a, for the the mo s t part, be parti allytion, w e b e li eve, will take e Although this resolution is m u c h t o be regretted, a s ev i nc i ng the depre , .sed state of trade at the present moment, we are glad to learn that but few of the work people will be thrown quite ai,l,oyd out e oaf short time t a im s t e lTy tl 'ase alteration, 'ill pl ate immediately,—Monmouthshire Merlin. HESSE HONIBURG.—The °flicial journal of Hesse Homburg of the 16th inst. publishes a proclamation of the Landgrave, dated the Bth, promising a constitution to his subjects. might be brought back without doing wrong to anybody. —(Loud cries of " Question.") He thought Whigs and Tories were both equally bad. The consequence of the debt rendered it impossible for them to have cheap corn from abroad, and their great. object ought to be to obtain cheap Government- . He was against any altera tion, in the Corn-laws—(Loud hisses and great uproar) — and he would move as an amendment a resolution, stating that it would be impossible for the manufacturers of this country to compete with foreigners so long as a revenue of fifty millions was wrung from the productive classes to be given to the unproductive classes. Mr. BAYLIS, of Hosier-lane, seconded the amendment. Mr. WOOD complained of the attempt of Mr. Wells to shirk the question as one unworthy of the meeting. If the 11 millions taken out of the pockets of the people an nually by the present Corn-law were kept in the pockets of the people, and out of the grasp of the mono polists, there would be no great difficulty in obtaining cheap Government.—(Cheers.) The measures of the Government must be taken as a whole.—(Cheers.) There was now a prohibition against the importation of cattle and of meat. The landed interest were a class that nothing could ever satisfy. They had even upheld a duty upon eggs satd sausages.—(Cheers and laughter.) In addition to the eleven millions taken by the Corn laws, there was no less than 20,000,0001. taken out of the pockets of the people of this country by indirect taxation, for the purposes of protection. It was neces sary to reduce the duty on foreign sugar in order to pre vent the East and West India monopolists combining to keep these sugars out of the market so as to keep up the price. He contended that the change proposed in the Corn-laws would not reduce wages but would in crease the present consumption of corn by at least • one-fourth.—(Hear, hear.) The poor labourer would not then be obliged to give his children vegetables because he could not give them bread. Mehemet Ali had complained to Napier that lie could net send a cargo of his corn here and take our manufactured goods in return, on account of the uncertainty as to the duty he should have to pay when the corn arrived here.— (Cheers.) Would they give up their trade with the Brazils on the hypocritical pretext that free labour could not compete with slave labour. Why, the estates in the West Indies had increased in value since the emancipa tion, and the way to increase free labour was to let it compete freely with slave labour all over the world. Why did they refuse to encourage the free labour of North America by refusing the corn, and yet encourage the slave labour of the South states by taking the cot ton ?—(Cheers.) Why because they were the victims of the sugar, the timber, and the corn monopolists. Mr. Deacon Hume, who was no party man, had said that if we did not get rid of our monopolies, our commercial empire would be lost.—(Cheers.) The indirect taxation which did not go to the purpose of Government, was greater than the direct taxation. The consuming population had been taxed to its utmost ex tent. The Government saw this, and had long concocted this great and mighty measure.—(Cheers.) If they fol lowed Mr. Goulburn's advice, to leave things alone, would the public creditor be quite safe ? With the po pulation of the manufacturing towns starving, were things to be let alone.—(Cheers.) The proposd measures would produce an increased demand for labour, and con sequently increased wages.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. E. PONTIFEX contended that more persons would be called into employment in the manufacturing districts, than would be thrown out of employment in the agricul tural districts by a repeal of the Corn-laws. Belgium was already exporting hosiery to the East Indies, and it was a matter worthy of serious consideration bow the prosperity of our manufactures was to be maintained. Our pros perity depended upon maintaining our foreign commerce, and how could that be maintained as long as these prohi tions continued ? and they ought to take the earliest opportunity of doing away with the incubus which was pressing upon us. Mr. Wells had complained of the taxes, and in addition to them he was for imposing on the country an additional tax by the Corn-laws. The French were supplying customers in Holland, who used formerly to be supplied from the city of London. Feeling that it was necessary to take measures to maintain our commerce, he should support the resolution,—(Cheers.) Mr. PRENDERGAST supported the resolutions and went into a history of the Corn-laws, and stated that when they were first enacted the attempt to make corn dear was considered so atrocious that the Corporation of Lon don, albeit at that time the Lord Mayor was a Tory, ad dressed the Throne, praying the law might not pass. Blood was shed on that occasion. The Tories of the City of London had always been opposed to the Corn-laws. The Hon. Gentleman, having given a most humorous description of the absurd conduct of John Bull in re fusing cheap corn, good timber, and cheap sugar, which elicited great laughter, went on to account for the failure of the revenue. The Ministers had given them cheap postage. Had there ever been such a glorious cause' for a failing revenue? The revenue was failing, and what did the Ministers say ? We will raise the revenue by increasing the comforts of the people.—(Loud cheers.) Among all the benefits of the change in the postage ithis was one of the greatest.—(Cheers.) At the present mo ment the Ministers had put themselves at the head of the forlorn hope of the country.—(Loud cheers.) The de claration of Lord John Russell was a proof of it ; and they ought all to join him in storming the citadel of mono poly. He had placed himself at the head, and would they refuse to follow him ?—(Cheers.) They should help him, to help themselves.—(Cheers.) Had he introduced some fresh measure of taxation the Tories would have sup ported him.—(Cheers.) The people of England should consider what he had done for them, and Whigs and Tories connected with trade ought to join in putting an end to the odious system of monopoly.—(Loud cheers.) He was glad of the opportunity affbrded him of express ing his sense of the conduct of the worthy Aldermen in convening the meeting, and would say once more, let them support the Ministers. Let them rally round Lord John Russell—(Cries of " No," drowned in loud cheering, which continued some time)—and they would soon succeed in storming the strongholds of monopoly. Mr. BLAKE defended the Corn-laws as having pre vented fluctuations of price, and as necessary for the pro tection of the home grower. He denied that high rents were a disadvantage to the country—(Disapprobation)— and contended that it was the duty of the Government to secure the home market to the English labourer. The Corn-laws were necessary for the maintenance of the State.—(Cries of " No," and hisses.) It was a burden absolutely necessary.—(" No, no," and hisses. Cries of " Down, down," " Off, off," and great uproar.) He was happy to say that a vast majority of the House of CoMmons was in favour of the existing Corn-laws which 'he held to be for the benefit of the country.— (Hisses, and uproar.) They were already amused with tales of manufacturing distress.—(Hear, hear.) He said amused, because—(Loud cries of " Turn him out," " Off, off," hisses, and disapprobation). Sir J, nitE hoped it was a slip, that he did not mean that tales of distress would amuse any one. Mr. BLAKE had made use of the word because those tales had nothing to do with the question.—(Loud cr i es of " Off, off," " turn him out.") Mr. PONTIFEX interfered to procure him a hearing. After a few words from Sir JAMES DUKE, Mr. &mu; continued, and said he made use of the term amuse, not because he did not feel for the distress, but because it had nothing to do with the argument. He denied that the doing away with the Corn-laws would in crease the manufactures. If foreign nations did not want our manufactures, no difference in price would make them, and they would never take more than they were obliged, It was not fair to take away the proteetlon from English industry.—(Disapprobation, and cries of " Off; off," and " Time, time.") It was useless to have cheap broad if they could not purchase it,—(Cries of " Down, down," " Question," and great uproar, in the midst of which the speaker sat down.) 1)r. LYNCH denied the preponderance of the agrieul tural classes. The majority of the community was en gaged in trade.—(Cheers.) How did it happen that the poorest continental labourer had more comforts than the English labourer ? Our merchants connected with America were ruined, because we Would not take the American corn in exchange for our manufactures. One-third of the labourers of Manchester were out of employ. 'A great proportion of the population of manu facturing towns were living in cellars in the greatest misery and wretchedness, and in that very town he found the poor the victims of disease; and the only moans of providing against them was by giving them good bread and animal food.—(Cheers, mixed with hisses from the Chartists.) It was miserable to reflect that the taxes upon God's blessings prevented the poor men from en joying them.—(Considerable confusion was created at this period by several Chartists insisting on putting on their hats and refusing to take them of; a gentleman at length took_ off one of their hats, which was the signal for a genera l " physical force" attack on the part of the Chartists, which ended, however, in their being speedily ejected from the meeting.) Mr. E. PONTIFEX said there were a knot of persons who had come for the purpose of disturbing the meeting. Sir JAMES DUKE said that if he found any person who was not an inhabitant of the ward attempting to in terrupt the proceedings of the meeting he should they h a d should give him in charge of the police. tip to two o been very quiet, and he trusted the meeting would sup port him.—(Loud cheers,) A man in the body of the meeting here rose, but on being asked if he was an inhabitant of the ward, he said he was not, and was consequently not permitted to speak, A GENTLEMAN - present said he knew him to be a hired Chartist, who went about for the purpose of dis turbing public meetings. PONTIFEX trusted it would be understood that every one of those interruptions had proceeded from per sons not connected with the ward. The CHAIRMAN then put the amendment, for which four hands only were held up. For the original resolu tipus a forest of hands were held up, and they were de clafgd tq he carried amidst the loudest acclamations.

PROVINCIAL BANK OF IRELAND The- sixteenth .yearly general meeting of the Proprie tors of this establiSh ment was h e ld at it s o ffice, in Broad street, on Thursday, the 20th instant. • - .Sir 4 0 BERT.C.A.MPBELL, Bart., took the Chair. • , . The SECRETARTAheIv , read the advertisement .callieg the meeting. • : . -• The CHAIRMAN stated it was the duty of the meeting to elect four Direetors, in the place of thole going out by rotation. '.fhe gentlemen going out were, by the provi sions of deed of settlement, immediately re-eligible, and their names had been accordingly put up within the public office of the Bank for twenty-eight days, as the deed required. No other candidates having been pro po.icd, he should now take the sense of the meeting on the question that Henry Alexander, Esq., Matthias Attwood, Esq., M.P., Sir Moses Montefiore,F.R.S., and James Holme, Esq., be re-elected Directors of the Pro vincial Bank of Ireland. It was carried unanimously in the affirmative. The CHAIRMAN then stated that the Directors had prepared a report of the affairs of the bank for the past year, which would be read by the Secretary, and to which he requested their attention. The Secretary then read the following report " REPORT. . . " In the report made to the • Proprietors at the last yearly general meeting, tne Directors took occasion to refer to certain causes which had for some time pre viously been operating. Among those causes were the two preceding bad harvests of 1838 and 1839, the latter of which had been in an extraordinary degree unpro ductive. Both years had been marked by improvident speculations in foreign corn, attended with their usual disastrous effects. The linen trade continued to be de pressed, and the commercial and monetary relations of the empire, both at home and abroad, were in a state of great fluctuation and derangement. Similar causes -con tinued to operate through* 1840, nor have their effects ceased in what has yo pAsed of the year 1841 ; for, although the season of 1840 was not, in the same sense, as its immediate predecessor, an adverse one, inasmuch as the oat crop was both good in quality and equal in quantity to that of an average year, the crop of wheat was palpably insufficient for the wants of the country, occasioned partly by the small quantity sown of that description of grain, owing to the • dis couraging results of the two preceding years, and partly by the very scanty produce reaped from the land which had been prepared for it. The consequence was that for the third year in immediate succession, Ireland, instead of being, as in ordinary years, an exporter of about 1,000,000 quarters of wheat, had to import of that grain very largely, under all the disadvantages of a seri ous diminution of her resources resulting from the cir cumstances above enumerated. Nor must the effects pro duced upon certain classes of traders, by the increasing progress of the temperance movement, be overlooked.' For, however efficient the principle of it may be to im prove the condition of the people, that improvement must necessarily be a work of time. The moral effects of temperance are undoubtedly instantaneous, but it is evident that a longer or shorter period must elapse ere the void in the internal traffic of the country produced by the disuse of spirituous and fermented liquors can be filled up by increased expenditure upon objects better calculated to afford to the inferior classes of the popula tiod comforts of a more substantial and durable nature. In the mean time its prevalence has been so extensive and sudden as nearly to annihilate the business of nume rous distillers and brewers (not to mention publicans), whose transactions have hitherto been considered as bear ing influentially on the interests of agriculture. " Under such a state of things it was felt by the Di rectors to be their duty to proceed with the utmost cau tion, and to confine the business within the most mode rate limits that the circumstances of the times, and a due regard to the customers of the Bank, would admit and notwithstanding all the discouragements that have been referred to, they have the satisfaction of announcing to the Proprietors that they have not only been able to maintain the usual rate of dividend at eight per cent. per annum, but have also made an addition of between 4,0001. and 5,0001. to the amount of the rest—(Hear, hear}—or undivided profits of the 27th March last. " Applications for the establishment of new branches continue to be received from various quarters of the country ; but the Directors do not consider it expedient to add to the number of branches at present. It may be mentioned, however, that at Enniscorthy, where the Bank has for a number of years transacted business by weekly visits of the Manager from the Wexford Branch, a regular branch bank is about being established, and will shortly commence its operations. " Before requesting the attention of the Proprietors to the statement of accounts, which is now to be submitted to the meeting, the Directors consider it proper to advert to the failure of the house of Messrs. Wright and Co., one of the London bankers of this establishment since. its commencement. To that house was assigned the busi ness of a small number of the branch banks in so far as drawing on London was concerned, and it was of course necessary to keep in their hands a balance adequate to the amount of such drafts. When the house stopped payment the balance due to this bank was 5,143/. ss. 9d. ; one dividend of ss. per pound has already been declared thereon, and another of similar amount is expected.—(Hear, hear.) The meeting will now be pleased to attend to the following statement. By the account submitted to the last yearly general meeting of Pro prietors, the amount of the rest, or undivided profits,. on • 23th March, 1840, was £101,178 6 8 From this sum there has been deducted the amount of two dividends, since paid—viz., at at Midsummer, 1840, 4 per cent £21,600 At Christmas, 1840, 4 per cent. 21,600 43,200 0 0 Leaving the sum of 57,978 6 8 TO which are to be added the amount of tin net profits for the year ending tho 27th, being the last Saturday of March, 1841, after deducting all ex pen ies, and providing for all bad and doubtful debts.. 47,513 10 11 Remains amount of the rest or undi vided profits 27th March, 1841. £105,491 17 7 " On this statement the Directors intend to pay to the Proprietors, in July next, the usual dividend of 4 per cent. on the capital stock for the half-year ending at Mid summer, being at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, or 4/. upon each 100/. share, and Bs. upon each share of 10/." It was then moved and seconded that " The Report which has now been read he received, and printed fur the use of the Proprietors." - Captain PORTER suggested that it would be of great advantage it in future the report were printed and made accessible to the Proprietors a few hours previously to the general meeting. A discussion at some length now followed, when Cap tain Porter declining to move a resolution to that effect, it was moved, seconded, and unanimously resolved, " That the concerns of this Company be conducted in the same way as usual as regards the report." The original motion was then unanimously agreed to. The thanks of the meeting were then moved to the Directors, for their continued attention to the concerns of the Bank ; and to the Chairman, for his conduct that day. The CHAIRMAN returned thanks for himself and his brother Directors. A vote of thanks way, then given to the Local Direc tors and Managers of the branches in Ireland, for their valuable services. In conclusion, the thanks of the meeting were given to Mr. Marshall, the secretary, to Mr. Murray, the anent of the Bank in Dublin, and to the other principal officers of the establishment, for their exertions in the service. Mr. MAnsnALL and Mr. MURRAY briefly returned thanks, and the meeting separated. CORN-LAWS. MEETING OF THE WARD OF FARRINGDON -WITHOUT. A meeting of the inhabitant s of the Ward of Far ringdon Without was held yesterday in the New Court, Oid Bailey, in conformity -with a requisition presented for that purpose to Sir James Duke, the worthy Alder man of the ward. Sir James Duke having taken the chair at 12 o'clock and the usual preliminary business having been gone through, Mr. GALLOWAY in a very neat speech in which he ad vocated the principles of free trade and expressed a hope that all party distinctions would now be sunk in the great fight against monopoly, proposed a series of resolutions expressing the approbation of the meeting of the mea sures proposed by the Government with respect to the duties on sugar and timber, and to the substitution of a small fixed duty on corn for the sliding scale—(Cheers.) t in opposition to the Mr. PONTIFEX, in seconding the resolution ; defended ' he country would re the conduct of the Ministry from the time of their taking office up to the present moment.

On the motion of Mr. PRENDERGAST, a resolution was proposed and carried, requesting the mover and seconder of the petition to take charge of it, for the purpose of procuring signatures. Sir J. DUKE acknowledged the vote of thanks in •a very neat speech, and the meeting, after giving flirt e cheers for the Ministry and the measure, separated at four o'clock. THE FOUR HUNDREDTH ANNI VERSARY OF THE FOUNDATION OF ETON COLLEGE. The celebration of the four hundredth anniversary of the foundation of this celebrated place of public education took place on Saturday last, at the great room at Willis's in King street, St. James's. The meeting was, as might be expected, most numerously attended ; we never, on any former occasion of an Eton anniversary, remember to have seen the attendance of Etonians so numerous. The chair was taken at half .past seven o'clock by Lord Chief Justice Denman, supported on the immediate right by the Provost of Eton, and on tl.e left by Dr. Hawtrey, the Head Master of the School. There were also present Lords Morpeth and Lincoln, and many other Noblemen, the Vice-Chancellor, Mr. Justice Pat teson, Mr. Justice Coleridge, the Reverend Dr. Keate, formerly head master of the school, General Sir H. Turner, and upwards of 300 gentlemen. Upon the removal of the cloth, grace having been said, Lord Denman proposed " The memory of the founder, Henry V 1.," which was drunk in respectful silence. His Lordship then proposed the health of the Queen, and in a short but appropriate speech adverted to the patronage which the Royal Family had always bestowed on Eton, Ind which her present Majesty, and her Royal Con sort Prince Albert, were not likely to withdraw.—( Great cheering.) The health of Queen Adelaide, and the rest of the Royal Family, was drunk with enthusiastic applause. To the toast " The Duke of Wellington and the Generals of Eton," Sir H. Turner returned thanks, but was inaudible to most of the company. To the toast the " Admirals of Eton," there being no Admiral present, thanks were not returned. Lord MottrzTa returned thanks for the toast " The States men of Eton," in a speech of considerable humour. His Lordship observed, although he was now in the sixth form of the Cabinet, it was very probable many gentlemen present expected he would shortly be in the " Remove."—( Cheers and laughter.) He would, however, observe, that whatever might be his inadequacy to do justice to the toast, he would recall to the recollection of those that heard him, that amongst the statesmen of Eton were to be found a Fex, a Grenville, a Canning, and a Wellington. His Lordship concluded amidst loud cheering. The VICE-CHANCELLOR, on the toast of the " Judges of Eton" being drunk, re t urne d t h an k s, an d po i nte d out with great humour how the practice of swimming and escaping the entanglement of weeds at Eton, helped those brought up there to become good lawyers. Dr. Keate returned thanks for the Clergy, and Dr. llawtrey for the Masters of Eton. The health of " Lord Denman" was drunk, for which his Lordship re turned thanks. The great toast of the evening, " Floreat Etena," was drunk with the most enthusiastic cheers; it was several minutes before silence could be restored, so vehement were the company in their expression of good will and grati tude to the place of their education. In the course of the evening, Lord Denman read a letter from the Marquis Welles ley, regretting that he could not attend, but expressing his zeal for the prosperity of the College, and attributing his re putation and successful progress in life to his having received his education at that place, under the learned Drs. Davies and Norbury. This letter was received with every demonstration of applause. Several other toasts were drunk in the course of the evening, and it was not until nearly twelve o'clock that the festivities closed. CORN-LA W MARGATE.S (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The following Correspondence relating to a petition in favour of the Corn-laws, from the guardians of the Isle of Thanet union, is well worthy of being made public at this most important period. If you have room in your Monday's Edition, the whole of this affair will come before the public before the petition is presented to the House : " To THE POOR-LAW COMMISSIONERS FOR ENGLAND AND WALES. " 21, Dane-hill-row, Margate, May 13. " Gentlemen,—l am requested by a number of rate-payers of St. John, Margate, to forward to you the copy of a letter received by Wm. Hall, Esq., guardian of the po or f or Mar gate, from the Cl er k o f th e Isle of Thanet union. " Isle of Thanet Union. " Notiee of motion by Mr. Thomas Hooper, on Friday, the 21st May, 1841 :—That this Board send petitions to both Houses of Parliament against the proposed al erations in the Corn-laws. " May 10. (Signed) " WM. FREEMAN, Clerk.' " The rate-payers desire to know whether the Commis sioners advise or sanction boards or guardians, administering the laws for the relief of the poor, to employ their clerks, or other of f icers paid out of the poor's-rate, in furthering the political views of individual members; and whether the notice of motion conveyed by the Circular signed by Mr. Wm. Free man, Clerk to the union, be legitimate to the business of a guardian, as defined by the 38th clause of the Poor-law Amendment Act. The rate-payers earnestly desire the Com missioners to apprise Mr. Thomas Hooper, and the guardians of the Isle of Thanet union, how obviously improper it is to employ the officers of the union upon any business not strictly defined and limited by the statute. " I have the honour to remain, &c. " EDWARD MOTTLEY. " To the Poor-law Commissioners." The Poor-law Commissioners, in consequence of the abov remonstrance, sent the following lettter to fir. Wm.

" Sir,—The Poor-law Commissioners transmit herewith copy of a letter which has been addressed to them by Mr. Edward Mottley, on behalf of certain rate-payers of the parish of St. John, Margate, in the Isle of Thanet union, respecting a notice of motion given by , Mr. Thos. Hooper, a guardian of that union, for Friday, the 21st inst., that the boa r d o f guardians of the Isle of Thanet union send petitions to both Houses of Legislature against the proposed alteration in the Cern-laws.' " The Commissioners desire to state, that having already in a letter to the board of guardians of the Derby union ex plained thcir views as to the tmpolicy of discussing at meetings of boards of guardians matters which are not within the func tions of the board, deem it right to call the attention of the guardians to that communication in the official Circular of the 4th of April, 1840, herewith transmitted to the guardians. " E. CHADWICK, Secretary." APPALLING STATEMENT. At the Anti-Corn-law Tea Party, held in the Corn Ex change, Manchester, on Thursday, se vera l exce ll ent speeches were made by Lawrence Heyworth, Esq., of Liverp oo l ; T. Milner Gibson, Esq. ; the Re v . Wm. M'Kerro w , the Rev, 'D. Hearne, and others. We regret th a t we cannot find room for them, but the short one, made by the Rev. Ali\ Hearne, it would be a sin to omit. It tails a tale more frightful than any that has ever fallen under our observation. The Rev. Gentle.. man (a Catholic priest) said he was not much acquainted with the commercial bearings of the subject, and therefore he could not enter into them. He would leave to ethers the task of explaining why wages were low and corn high in this country, while in America wages were high and corn low. He came forward to bear his humble testimony to that awfid and conti nued distress which is raging in Manchwer, and which threatened, unless means were taken to alleviate it, to bring about a disruption of social *icier. In his ministerial character among the people he had witnessed the effects of a famine now and again, but he would say that this was no temporary distress ; a famine had been raging in the district where he lived since 1838, which proved the evil could not be a passing ono, and he attributed it to nettling else but the low rate of wagers—( Hear, hear)—which scarcely af forded to the poor labourer the means feeding himself and offspring. The meeting could scarcely form a concepti o n of the misery and destitution prevailing in the district, of which he was a eiinm on 'this occasion. He went lately to ad.. minister the consolations of religion to a poor dying woman, On arriving at her bed-side she seemed to be alone, li e asked if she was. ...Johnny," said she, and immediately a sack in the corner of the room began to move, and then another began to move, and out of these tumbled the poor woman's sons, their only bed being the inside o; sacks filled with shavings.—( Hear, hear.) He had about 20,000 of his flock living within half a mile of his ohapel. Scarcely a single Catholic, unless in c ases of su dd en death, breathed his last without sending for the priest, and of these, and he spoke from personal observation, at least one-half died from starvation.—( Hear, hear.) Talk of war ravaging a country I —better by far was he who died by the sword than he that was striken by famine.—( Hear, hear.) He could bear but too strong testimony to the opinion expressed by Mr. M'Kerrow that men in want of temporal comforts were but ill fitted to receive the consolations of religion—for he had found how difficult it was when the poor man was dying, with his starving children a roun d hi m, to stop the d of word blasphemy issuing from his lips, in his parti ng breath. BRUTAL ATTACK.. (Fitold A CORRESPONDENT. The meeting convened by the Sheriff o f Lincolnshire to take into consideration the propriety of petitioning Parliament against the intention of Government with respect to the Corn laws, was held in the Castle-yard, Lincoln, oa Friday last, and was attended by a very large number of landowners and occupiers, including the Earl of Winchilsea, Earl of Yar borough, Lord Worsley, M.P., Sir Montague Cholmeley, Earl, Sir John Netthorpe, Bart., G. F. Heneage, Esq,, R. A. Christopher, Esq., M.P., Hon. A. S. Melville, Sir Charles Anderson, lbrt.. the Dean of Wi n d sor , t h e S u b - Dean of Li nco l n , T. G. Corbett, Esq., Charles Chaplin, Esq., &c. &c. When the resolutions were put to the meeting, thousands of hands were generally held up far their adoption, and when persons unfavourable to the re solutions were invited to held their hands up, between sixty and si4ty perhaps were visible, and those honest .men o ho dared to oppose the thousands of the landlords' slaves, viz. , the farmers and labourers, there assembled, were marked out, and some disturbance took place.

THE APPROACHING ELECTIONS.—We earnestly hope that the West Riding of Yorkshire will not, at the stning, elec. tion, retur n a s i ng l e Monopoly-man. F ur th e 'titling itself, Lord Illorpeth will be returned triumphantly. Whether Sir George Strickland will again offer himself is doubtful : we un derstand that he is desirous to retire, if a suitable successor should appear ; and it is possible that a son of Earl Fitzwilliam, whose dauntless and disinterested advocacy of the interests of the people in the House of Lords has won the admiration of the whole country, may be induced to become a candidate. Fur the borough of Leeds it is knoWn that Mr. Baines retires, owing to the state of his health. It is rumoured that the Tories have tried to induce one of the Beckett family and the Hon. James Stuart Wortley to come forward; but, if we are rightly informed, those gentlemen have had the prudence to decline the invitation. As for Bradford, Halifax, Huddersfield, and Sheffield, we cannot entertain a doubt that they will return staunch anti monopoly men. Knaresborough is threatened with one, if not two, monopoly men as candidates; but we hope the electors of that seat of the linen trade will show themselves true to the principled of commercial freedom, and return two supporters of the Govern ment measures. Will not Ripon make a desperate effort to fling off the yoke of Mrs. Lawrence and the surrounding aristocrats, and join in the great work of putting down monopolies? We call also upon the seaports of Hull, Whitby, and Scarborough, and upon York and,Beverley, to support her Majesty's Government in their great undertaking—au undertaking eminently calcu lated to promote the prosperity of foreign commerce and of the shipping interest, and to give a mighty impulse to all our eastern seaports. WEST RIDING OF Yotteselese—The announcement of the names of Morpetb and Milton as candidates for the West Riding of Yorkshire has just reached us. Sir George Strick land having announced his intention of not again soliciting the suffrages of the electors, a requisition has been presented to Lord Milton, who has sent them an answer, in which he ac cedes to their wishes.—Leeds Mercury. Axeovete—We do not expect any opposition here, parties being so nearly balanced. Any effort to displace either of our Members wooed, we have no doubt, be unsuccessful. Asuatiteros.—News arrived at Ashburton, on Thursday evening, that C. lushing.on, Esq., the member for this bo rough, intended to resign at the next dissolution of Parlia ment. A meeting of the Liberal electors was speedily congre gated at Foaden s Assembly-room. A letter was read from Lord Cranstoun, assuring the electors he should do his utmost to assist in the return of Mr. Jardine, a gentleman of Liberal politics. Mr. Jardine is a wealthy merchant, largely engaged in the China trade, and front his well-known principles, will be well received at Ashburton, and will be sure to be elected. It is expected that Mr. Jardine wia address the electors this day . (Friday. ) Western Times. J3nADS'oRD.—In consequence of a rumour that E. C. Lister, Esq., one of the present Liberal Members for the above be. rough, intended to retire from the representation, in the event of a dissolution of Patliametit, a numerous meeiin,,e of the friends of Reform seas held in the large room of the bowling Green Inn, T. G. Clayton, Esq., of Bierley, in the chair. After some time spent in conversation, Mr. W. Lister, eldest son of the Member, f,rmally staied that he had been authorised by his father to signify his determination to retire from public life at the close of the present Session of I 'ornament. A reso lution was adopted, inviting the Hon. Gentleman to continue his services, and thanking both him and Jr.A Busfeild for their past services. It appearing, however, that the determination of Alr. Liver to retire was unalterable, a motion was proposed and adopted to the effect, that the meeting would not support any candidate who might • offer himself who was not pre pared to support the principles of free trade, and especially with reference to the repeal of the Co:n-laws ; the abo lition of 'Church -rates, and an extension of the suffrage were also mentioned. Mr. W. C. Lister was mentioned as being an eligible successor to his father,_and that gentleman said, that it he was thought worthy to occupy so distinguished a posthe should feel highly honoured, and that, in fact, it was an object of his ambition. On Weduesday night the Radical As sociation held a meeting at the Hope and Anchor Inn, and passed a resolution to the effect, that strenuous eraleavours should be made to effect the return of an individual who would exert himself to obtain an extension of the suffrage. Three gentlemen—Colona Thompson ; Richard Cobden, Esq., Man chester, and Flamer Stanstield, Esq., of Leeds —were toe d . ttoned as being agreeable to the Radical electors. The Cheeteg e also formed an election committee, and determined to bring forward a candidate.—Leeds Mercury. RAPE OF BRAMBE a. —There is a very preponderating:nun ber of Whigs in Steyning, Worthing, and Shoreham, and the elections for the Rape almost turn upon the majority there.

FALKIRE.--It is quite remarkable and ridiculous, that all the fuss lately made by the Carlton Club should have evaporated into something lighter than air, and that the vaunted opponent of Gillon now shrinks from the contest!

HUI,L.—One of the Liberal candidates to be brought for wardat Hull on the ensuing election is Mr. Clay, nephew of the Member for the Tower Hamlets. We hope the electors will iininediately select some other decided friend of free trade, to turn out Sir Walter James, who has disgraced that great commercial constituency by voting in favour of monopoly.— Leeds Mercury. • Keaausitotiouest. —Various are the rumours of candidates for the representation of Knaresborough, iu the event of an early dissolution of Parliament, some of the leading parties being anxious to support two candidates who will take shares to the amount of 10,0001, in a proposed railway from Bolton station, near Tadcaster, to Knaresborough ! and one of these, It Is reported, is to be a certain Alderman, of York, who is a large railway speculator, and who, if returned, would be cer tain to obtain for Knaresborough the proposed railway ! We entreat the Reformers to rouse themselves at the call of their Queen and their country, and by immediate and energetic efforts to secure the return of two friends to commercial tree dom.—Leeds Mercury. REPRESENTATION OF SOUTH LANCASHIRE.—EIectors of South Lancashire, arouse your energies! Select two candi dates pledged to support her Majesty's Government in their endeavouri to alter the Corn-laws and the Timber and the Sugag Duties. I have no doubt of success.
