The Eighth Annual General Meeting of the Directors. and Proprietors of the National Bank of England took place on Wednesday, at the Company's offices, 112, Bishopsgate *street, within. At 12 o'clock precisely the chair was taken by Jona Mat, Esq., and tile announcement calling the meeting having been read, The CHAIRMAN said, since the Directors had last the plea• sure of meeting the Proprietors, they were all aware that the country had unaeigOne • one of these severe monetary revulsions which he was very sorry to thi n k were now becoming nearly of annual occurrence in that country. It was- gratifying to him, however, to be able to assure the Proprietors that the last pressure, as well as the two preceding ones in 1836 and 1839, appeared only to have a ten dency of confirming their establishment mere and more in the confidence of the public.--( Hear, hear.) Of that they had the most gratifying proofs in the different quarters of the country in which the Company had branches. If the Proprietors would have the goodness to look at the statements made in their previous Reports, and then take them in con nexion with the Report which he should have the pleasure of reading for them presently, they would see, notwithstanding the adverse circumstances under which the Company had to labour, that the advancement of its busi ness had been steady and progressive.— (Hear, hear.) He had no doubt that as commercial and financial matters im proved in that country and America, they might look forward to very flourishing and prosperous times. With their permis sion he should now read the Report. The CHAIRMAN then read the Report of the Directors as follows : No. 15, 90. LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 14, 1841, PRICE sd. lOne-third to be deli vered by the 314 July, another third by the 31st August, Ditto Ditto Trousers ... 500 Pairs and the remainder by the 30th Scp- L tember next.

R OYAL ACADEMY, TRAFALGAR SQUARE. The EXHILITION of the ROYAL ACADEMY is NOW FINSBUR Y REFORM CLUB. At a SPECIAL MEE] 'NG of the COMMITTEE it was resolved— NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE AS SURANCE AND DEFERRED ANNUITY SO CIETY. The Annual Meeting of the above Company was held at the London Tavern, on Wednesday last. At half past one o'clock the Directors entered the room, and Mr. Id AMIE MURRAY, took,. the Chair. After the advertisetient calling the meeting had been read, Witney Flushing Jackets 0000 No. At a MEETING of the COMMITTEE, held on Wednes day, May !2, 1841 ; JOHN' CROPPER, Esq., jun.. President, in the Chair, It was moved by WILLIAM KAY, &q.. seconded by WILLIAM been called on to pay, 12,1801. I think I may, therefore, with confidence claim for the. Directors the credit of pru dent deliberation on every risk that is accepted, on the part of the Society,. Indeed :We have been fre quently blamed for our caution; but when it is considered how deeply interested those are who assure with the So ciety in this respect, I think I am warranted in saying that such circumspection is valuable. The Report refers to the discussion there has been for some time carried on on the sufficiency, of rates of pre mium. Undoubtedly the tendency has been for some years past towards low rates, and it appears as if there were undue competition in this respect. There must, however, be limits below which nothing could be mote dangerous, nothing could be more mischievous to ex ceed.—(Hear, hear.) This disposition, however, is for tunately stopped, and it would appear as if the public mind had lent itself on the opposite . course. At . this moment, therefore, I am glad to see the subject is likely to be' well investigated—l mean for the satisfaction of the public mind ; for amongst men well acquainted with the subject of life contingen cies, such an investigation by a Committee of, Par liament would be to, th em o f li tt l e value; but there requirei a high authority, such as a Committee of that kind would be, to pronounce on this subject, and which would be a guide to those , who are not able for themselves to collect all the elements of the calculation. From the foundation of this Society, the Directors have seen that this subject must, sometime or other, come under the notice of the Legislature ; and, in consequence, before we fixed our tables, we instituted the fullest investigation. The rats of the Society will be found to give the most equal charge for any age" of life ; they are not low rates, nor are they so high as those founded on the Northamp ton Tables Another topic I would briefly allude to—the, Directors have always had a strong desire to increase the, number of respectable and efficient agents throughout the country, as there are some points connected with this Society which require the most- strenuous exertion, and I can say with safety, that -in general our agents have been more effi cient, perhaps, than those of most other Societies. , Having addressed these few observations, -I will now put the motion.

Air. Alderman BULLET; 3. That, adhering to these prick pies, and at the same time recognizing the principles of Free Trade—concedini to which the Legislature has removed the restrictions formerly imposed on the trade of the British West Indies—and considering. en the other hand, the immense interests of this ma? ufacturing country, this Cemmit!ee record their approval of the proposed measures for !.he reduction of th, duties on Sugar. as essential to the relief of our own oppressed and suff. ring population. The Directors have now the pleasure, for the eighth time, of submitting to the Proprietors their yearly Report ; and when the eventful times which have recurred since the last general meeting are taken into consideration, they confidently anticipate that it will b e v i ewe d as a very satisfactory one, both as regards the statement of account which it contains, and as furnishing additional experience of the soundness of the prin ciples upon which the establishment is founded. The commencement of last sear was marked by some favour able symptoms—by an influx ef bullion, an abundance of money, and a slight revival in several branches of trade. But, on the other hand, it was to be apprehended that the deficient harvests of the preceding years, and the unpropitious weather - at the open ng of 1840, together with the unsettled state of our foreign relations, might lead to a return of derangement. After weighing all circumstances, therefore, the Directors thought it advisable to continue that cautious and restrictite policy :wtich, as was stated in the last Report, they had adopted in anticipation of the monetary crisis of 1839. Subsequent events justified this determination. As the year advanced, political difficulties increased. the foreign ex changes sundenly became adverse, and the banking and trading interests were *gain placed in a state of difficulty. The occurrence of these new embarrass ments before the country had time to recover from the paralysing effects of the pressure which had so re cently passed away, produced, as might have been expected, butte in the metropolis and the provinces, very disastrous con sequences, which, however much to be regretted in their im mediate operation, have taught a lesson of no small practi cal value, by demonstrating the superior security offered by Joint-stock Banks. Under these adverse circumstances, the increase of business could not fail to be retarded ; but the Directors have the satis faction of being able to state, that the operations of the Company have , proceeded, during this trying period, with the greatest steadiness, and that nothing has occurred to effect its general prosperity. On the contrary, the events of last year. to which the Directors have adverted, have not been altogether unattended with advantages. By timely precaution and careful management of their resources, the Directors were not only prepared to meet any emergency that might ari-e, but were also enabled to avail themselves of any new connexions of a desirable nature. Accordingly, upon the stoppage of a private bank atDeal,and another at Tetgnmouth,and upon the withdrawal of the Commercial Bank of England at Newport, the Directors opened branches at these places, at each of which a safe and promising business has already been founded. Anoth,r important connexion, nut arising, however, from any circumstances of difficulty, but from the generally in creasug disposition in favour of Joint Stock Banks, recently presented itself with the highly respectable banking firm of Messrs. Fryer, Andrews, antlCo. of the county ,of Dorset, which had been established more than half a century. I. 4 IUNERAL OF NAPOLEON.

S., at Mr. Taylor's, 12, Duke st reef, London-bridge. 4. That while this Committee wou'd afford no sanction to monopoly prices, which only present fresh inducement to the coercion and injury of the free labourers in the emancipated colonies, they are at the same time firmly of opifion that these fiscal arrangements—taking into account the sacrifices this country has already made - ought to be coupled with such ne gotiations with slave-holding States, as would lead to the abandonment of the costly and cruel system of slavery, and its concomitant evil the Slave-trade, at7d with the determination to admit, from all count. ies. at once, on equal terms, sugar and other produce, the resu t of free labour. Carried, nem. eon. It was moved by Mr. Alderman BLACKBURN, seconded by 'WILLIAM RATHBONE, Esq. ; 5. That as, in the opinion of this Committee, free labour, when fairly brought into operation, is cheaper than that of slaves, the most effectual means of abolishing slavery will be found in the fair comeetition of fee and coerced labour; and as the contest beta een the two must eventually take place, they cannot but. regard the proposed alteration in the duties on Sugar, as the commencement of a course at once beneficial and wise, and calculated, in its ultimate effect to promote the en tire abolition of slavery in every part of the world.

There is everything that is calculated to fill us with hope—(Hear)— and from what I have observed in my own district, I can state that that hope will be strengthened every day. In that district, in the west, there are some very efficient agents, but many are not so in the parts they have un dertaken. We are doing a very fair rate of business in Exeter and other parts of Devon, with which parts I am conversant, seeing the accounts and proceedings weekly. Unfortunately in many parts of th a t coun ty this Society has not been sufficiently worked.

FEAVER'S INFALLIBLE EMiiROC.I - for GOUT, RHEUMATISM, &c., &c. Public attention is requested to the following Letter addressed bv Thomas Schofield, Esq., to the Editor of the " Morning Chronicle":— 'Six.-1s I am sure you will be happy to promulgate any thing that will benefit your fellow-creatures, I confidently send you the following statement of an extraordinary cure from a violent attack of that dreadful malady the Gout, which I have obtained by mere accident. feeling assured you will give it publicity in your widely-circulated paper. I was attacked with it for the thi d time on Saturday night, the 31st of t 1 iy last, and suffered the most dreadful agony till the following Wednesday, when I way recommended to apply to a Mr. Feayer, woollen warehouseman, Friday -street, Cheapside, for a bottle of Embrocation for the Gout—a remedy discovered by his faeher, and by which, I was told, he had cured himself. At that moment my sufferings would have induced me to apply anything ; I therefore obtained a bottle of this Embrocal ion, for which I paid 6s. 6d., and applied it im me di a t e l y; an d to my delight and astonishment, in one hour the intanse pain ceased, in two days I could walk, and at the end of one week the gout had entirely left me. I have no doubt but for this remedy I should have had at least six weeks of suffering, as 1 had in former attacks. I sin induced to take this step solely for the benefit cf the thousands who are victims to this di,t ress i ng di sease (and for which, until now, it has been said there was no cure) that they may know wh-re to obtain the same relief. Of Mr. Feaver, the proprietor. I know nothing, having seen h'm but once, when I called to thank him for th e benefit he hatlb made this jia eenti - meanse ivu ofabcrie discoverynfei ringon me ; and findi ng h e h a d never publicly known, I resolved at oree to make known my cure to you, and I trust through you to my fellow-sufferers. It is much to be regretted that Mr. Feaver does not imme diately publish it. It cannot fail to prove benefitial in a large degree to himself. while at the same time it would be con ferring a great hle -4! on thousands of our sufferin g b ret h ren. However, I feel myself bound to give publicity t o my own case in every possible way ; and I consider, by inse r ti ng t hi s in your columns, you will he doing a much greater good than usually results from whole page. of matter contai ne d i n some of our daily jou r nals.

RE-ANIMATION. THE MEDICINACEWE&S of STEEL, as a strengthener and restorative, have been known for ages to excel those of all other articles of the Alateria Medina, and in this age of luxury and dissipation, when the indiscretions of youth disappoint the expectations of maturity, it is not to be wondered that a medicine of such efficacy as SEDDON'S' genuine AROMATIC LOZENGES of STEEL should have attracted the attention of the first medical men in Europe. When the most important functions of life are suspended, and those who are invalids by inheritance or imprudence are reduced to the most deplorable state of nervous debility, it is not in despair that relief is to be found. It has been ascertained, be yond a doubt that these circumstances are occasioned by a ge neral or partial relaxation or weaknesses in either sex ; and it is equally certain that SEDDON'S LOZENGES are the best, if not the only remedy ever discovered for this species of de bility. When taken into the stomach they immediately diffuse themselves like a vapour through every pore, producing effects at once delightful, salutary, and permanent. When the spark of life begins to grow dim, the circulation, languid, and the faculties paralysed, these Lozenges are found to give tone to the nerves, exhilirate the animal spirits, invigorate the body, and re-animate the whole man. When aversion to exercise, loss or depravity of appetite, and pallid countenance, indicate approaching consumption, the delicate female will be preserved and restored to health and society by the benign influence of this medicine.

Owing to a well-known family complaint, that sometimes sleeps throuLth one genera tion, a daughter of the above gentleman entirely lost her hair, so that she was obliged to conceal the defect by the aid of a cap and false tresses. After having done so for a period of two years, she was induced. by a medical friend, to try the effect of Rowland's :Macassar Oil, with a view to the restoration of her hair In the course of one month a fine down was elicited, which, by constant use of the Oil (rubbed on with fine flannel) became, in six months, a fine and healthy growth of hair ! The satisfaction of the young lady is unbounded.

CHAIRMAN said—Gentlemen, before the Report which the Directors have prepared is laid before you, I beg to make a few observations.; arid, first, on the part of the Directors, I have to express their great pleasure in again meeting the Proprietors. The Report itself embodies the sentiments of the Directors on all the topics therein discussed, or upon which they have felt it their duty to bring before your notice. I will, therefore, not detain your longer than to request the Secretary to read it to you, and calling your attention to it. The SECRETARY (Mr. FERGUSON CAMEROUX) then read the following Report : " THE SECOND ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS OF THE " NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY," TO THE PROPRIETORS. MAY 12, 1841. The Directors have to express their gratification, in meeting for the second time the Proprietors, on the re currence of the Annual General Meeting of the Society. Before - the year 1843 it will not be the duty of the Directors to place the accounts, calculations, and profit and loss of the Society, before the Proprietors and the public. The deed of settlement provides that this account shall be rendered at that period. Had it been deemed expedient to have prepared a statement at this early period, since the commencement of the Society, - the Directors had the power to have done so in the present year. But inasmuch as it would have involved a decision with regard to bonuses to the policy-holders, which must follow after the first investi gation of the business of the Society, the Directors have deemed it more prudent, notwithstandin g their own wishes to expose the succes s f u l wor ki ng o f the Society, to await the greater experience, which the period pro vided for by the deed will afford them, in declaring its first bonus, and on which so much of its immediate • future success will depend. Since the period of the last meeting, several causes acting on the public mind, have produced impressions unfavourable to the general extension of the principles of life assurance. Notwithstanding this, the progress of the " National Loan Fund Society," has been steady and uninterrupted. Of these causes, it appears to the Directors that two leading ones have mainly contributed to increase the inaptitude of the public towards investments in Life Assurance, as provision for a family. The first is, however, but of a temporary nature—it refers to the sudden appearance and disap pearance of schemes of Life Assurance Societies, which have either become immediately extinct, or merged, after the lapse of some time, into other Com panies. The second is the tendency that has mani fested itself within the last few years towards lower rates of premium than had heretofore been considered prudent. The competition which has existed in this respect has given rise to discussion, and a re-ac tion has been created in favour of rates, that experience had proved to be safe and well-founded. While, unques tionably, the rates of premium, calculated on the Northampton tables of mortality, are found by the experience of the Societies themselves who have adopted them, to be too high for the contingencies of life—it must be admitted there should be a limit, be low which it would not be safe to go, even in adopting more correct data of mortality than the Northampton tables exhibit. This is a subject that cannot be ap proached with too much gravity, as involving the deepest considerations. The more it is discussed, and the limits of premium within which an office can fulfil all its en gagements, fixed satisfactorily to the public mind, the more will it increase the number of those who, by means of Life Assurance, seek to provide for a family. No one is so much interested as the policy-holder himself, that the rates which he pays to an office for his protection, shall be adequate. It was after the maturest reflection, and a lengthened investigation on the subject, not withstanding the tendency which prevailed at the period of the formation of the " National Loan Fund Society," that its present rates of premium were determined upon. The tables of the Society were calculated by its eminent actuary, Mr. Woolhouse, from original data arrived at by an adjustment of the irregu larities of the Carlisle tables, combined with the valu able experience of the " Equitable " and other tables of mortality on which former calculations had been based. Connected with this subject, the Directors see with great satisfaction at the present moment, the announce ment. of a Committee of the House of Commons, the re sult of whose investigations will, it. is hoped, be a guide to popular opinion on a subject on which there prevails so great a diversity of feeling ; judging from the differ ence in the rates of premiums considered safe by different Life Assurance Establishments. There is yet another subject of equal value to the policy holders, the careful selection of lives. To the im portance of this point in the management of the business, the Directors have paid the most watchful attention. So far in this respect the Society has been fortunate. Out of the whole number of policies issued by the Society only 11 of them have become claims. The total number of policies issued by the Society now amounts to 1,611, which gives an increase on the year of 381. The present annual income of the Society, derived from premiums on existing policies, and its investments, is equal to 22,5001. The claims paid by the Society since its commence ment on eleven policies amount to 5,599/. 195., and the sum received on short and lapsed policies, on which no claims can accrue, amounts to 4,489/. 7s. d. The latter result satifactorily proves an increase in the business of the Society on short risks since the publication of tables marked A and B in the Prospectus, which are highly favorable to assurers for temporary purposes. The total number of shares disposed of amounts to 19,813, and on which the sum of 44,579/. ss. has been paid The increasing business of the Society and the accu mulation of its funds, besides the burthen to the policy holders of too large a paid-up capital, has induced the Directors, at the pressing instance of several influential parties interested in the Society, to consider the pro priety ofrecommending to the Shareholders the conversion of the capital into shares of 201. instead of 10/. each, the present nominal amount of each share. This recommen dation, which the Directors now make, has for its object the giving increased value to the stock, inasmuch as the one-third of the profits on the business of the Society, which belongs to the Proprietors (besides five per cent. on the actual paid up capital), would then be divided on 62,5001. of stock, instead of 112,500/. the sum originally intended to be called up, while the amount of subscribed capital, and the security to the assured would remain the same. Thus, without any further payment being made cn the 201. shares, in ad- , • dition to that already paid on the 101. shares (except the sum of ss. per share, in respect to preliminary expenses, provided for in the deed of settlement), the interestof each Proprietor in the profits of the Company will be nearly doubled. The Directors have availed themselves of the occasion of the General Meeting to place this recommendation before the Proprietors for their approbation. At the same time, in the event of that, it will require the signa ture of each Proprietor to a short deed, which the Di- rectors have ordered to be prepared for the purpose. The Directors cannot close their Report without ad verting to the difficulties they have met with in extend ing the efficient agency of the Society. A very great part of the country yet remains unoccu pied by any of its branches or agencies. The Directors have always felt unwilling to commit the Soci ety into inefficient hands, and have been careful to select only such individuals as 'agents who, joined to respecta bility, had the leisure and activy, besides a true appre ciation of the extent to which, with the requisite perse- verance, the principles of the Society could be worked in every district of the country. The Directors are happy to say they can reckon many such individuals amongst the agents of the Society, and who are now reaping the fruits of their perseverance ; but there yet exists great space where similar talents could be employed With great benefit to its interests. The business to be transacted at the present meeting is the election of four Directors in lieu of _ JOAN ELLIOTSON, M.D., F.R.S. GEORGE LUNGLEY, Esq. CLEMENT TABOR, Esq., and JOSEPH THOMPSON, Esq., whose period of office has expired ; all of whom are eligible to be re-elected, and offer themselves accordingly. The election of one Auditor in place of Professor WHEATSTONE, F.R.S., whose term of office has expired, and who is also re-eligible, and offers him. self accordingly. The Directors have to propose JOHN RIDDELL STODART, Esq., for election as a Di rector, and for the confirmation of the appointment by the Court, as a Director, of JOHN GRIFFITH FRITH, Esq., and the election as an Auditor, of Professor GRAVES, AM. F.R.S., in place of the late lamented Dr. OLINTIIUS GREGORY. T. LAMIE MURRAY. Chairman." The Report having been read, The CHAIRMAN said—lf any Proprietor should now wish to address any observations to the meeting, or re quire any explanations from the Directors, I shall be happy to hear him. the CHAIRMAN — Since no Proprietor wishes to put any question, it will now be my duty to move that " the Report now read be adopted by the meeting, printed, and distributed to the Proprietors." Before doing so, I would beg to call your attention to some of its state ments. It is not my intention to detain you by any lengthened observations ; the Report speaks for itself One thing you will find stated in it, and that is, out of the whole number of policies issued —namely, 1,611, only 11 of th em h ave b ecome claims on the Society, to the extent of 5,5991. 195., but there is another point that is not stated in it, but on which you informatio n , I can now afforcl and that is, the num ber of li v es that, according to the calculations of the Society, should have. dropped, and the sum the So ciety; shou ld have paid if the selection of lives, they m ade, had not been better th an th e average ex p ec . t a t i o a...4hat; however; I learn from the Actuary, should the sum that. we expected ' qua hpeArell 2 g , WI The CHAIRMAN—I beg to say one word more with respect to agencies. It is desirable that the most efficient agents be obtained, which I believe has been done ; • some idea of this may be derived from the fact that 22,5001. per annum is the income of this Society, and, for the third year, this sum is very considerable. Success creates success, and if the future will be equal to the past, it will be very good, but, I think, from all ap pearances, it will be even better.—(Hear, hear.) A great desire is manifested to obtain efficient agents, but we have always considered it better to have no agent at all than to have one not equal to the task which this Society imposes. We have since our commence ment discharged several on account of their in efficiency. As we have now no more business to enter into of this nature, I will propose that the following , gentlemen be re-elected as Directors for the ensuing year :—John Elliotson, ; George Langley, Esq. ; Clement Tabor, Esq. ; and Joseph Thompson, Esq., which was carried unanimously. Professor Wheatstone, F.R.S., was then re-elected as an Auditor ; John Riddell Stodart, Esq., and John Griffith Frith, Esq., were also elected as new Di rectors ; and Professor Graves, A.M., F.R.S., as an Auditor. Mr. MILLER, of Sunderland, moved a vote of thanks to the Chairman, and the other Officers of the Society, was unanimously carried for their able management of the Institution up to this period. The CHAIRMAN begged to return his sincere thanks for the mark of approbation conferred upon him and his brother Directors. A vote of thanks was then moved to the Secretary, who returned thanks, and the meeting separated. Entire satisfaction seemed to prevail throughout the mhole of the proceedings. THE SUGAR DUTIES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—You will oblige me by inserting the following report of a meetir.g held here last evening, to take into consider ation a printed circular of the Committee of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery . Society. On Tuesday evening, May 11, 1841, a meeting of the Committee of the Bridgewater Auxiliary Anti-Slavery Society, was held at the Friends' Meeting-house, Joseph . Thompson, Esq., in the Chair, for the purpose of taking into consideration a circular-letter received from the Committee of the Parent Society in London ; and the following resolu tions were passed unanimously : 1. That this meeting views with deep regret the opposition manifested by• the Committee of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society, to the proposed measures of her Ma jesty's Ministers, with respect to the duties on Foreign sugars, and cannot withhold the expression of its entire disap:.roval of the course which the Committee have taken on this subject— s course which appears to this meeting hasty and injudici ous, and most ungenerous to the Government, the members of which have given so many proofs of their sympathy with the friends of freedom and of the Negro—and which will have the effect of aiding those men, whose effects have been always directed to the maintenance of slavery and oppression, and who are nnw striving to excite the feelings and preju dices of the Anti-Slavery body,• not, as we believe, from any humane considerations, but for party purposes—in their en deavours to embarrass and displace the present liberal and en lightened Administration. _ - 2. That one of the great and primary principles asserted by the leading men of the Anti-Slavery body, and re-asserted and defended with much. ability and success at the Convention last year, is the vast superiority of free labour, above that of slave labour, both in cheapness and efficiency, and that the en couragement and use of the former would speedily and effec tually supersede the latter, if they should be brought into fair competition. 3: That in the opinion of this meeting, the measure pro posed by her Majesty's Ministers is designed to give encourage ment to free labour, and that if that measure be carried, though a present and temporary evil may be occasioned by the importation of sugar into the markets of England from Cuba and Brazil, it will ultimately end in accomplishing the destruction of slavery and of slave labour. '4. That this meeting cannot, therefore, adopt the recom mendation of the London Committee, in their recently received circular, and that a copy of the proceedings of 'this meeting be forwarded to the Secretary without delay. This is forwarded to the Editor by the direction of the Com mittee. W. JAMES, Hon. Secretary. Bridgewater, May 12, 1841. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. RESPECTED FRIEND,As a member 'of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society, I greatly regret the hssty and injudicious conduct of the London Committe, in taking upon itself to denounce some of the benevolent and beneficial mea sures mo,stly ably brought forward by our present Government. Whilst I believe the members of the Committee have been ac tuated by the best intentions, I can give them no credit for good judgment on the present occasion. The inconsistency of their conduct is clearly shown in the letter from " A Hater of White and Black Slavery," which I saw in the Globe of the 10th inst. As members of the Anti-Slavery Society, I con ceive it is our duty to protest against slavery everywhere, and to do all in our power, consistently with our other duties, to procure its termination ; but that it is improper and imperti nent in such a Society to take upon itself to attempt to frus trate or embarrass the fiscal regulations of our Government. I do not consider my opinions worth recording, but my object is rather to state, in reference to the able remarks which have appeared in The Sun, my full conviction that few of the coun try Auxiliary Anti -Slavery Societies will support the London Committee in the step already taken, and that a great majority of the members thoughout the country will oppose it, and manifest this in the exercise of their electoral rights. I am respectfully, PHILIP DEBELL TUCKET. Frenchay, n ear Bristol, 12th May, 1841. eaf persons, and those who are slightly dull of hearing, and find a difficulty to catch the sound of a distant low speaker at a public assembly, will find a most astonishing advantage from the use of the Messrs.

TRIPOLI, APRIL 13.---SLAVE TRADE.---The import of slaves from the interior has varied much during the last nine years (say from two to sixteen hundred annually) owing to the civil war and unsettled state of the Regency; hut it may be observed, that during the caravans theye years haveofth enegminyirianiuly gone mze portations from the interior, the to Tunis or Egypt. A few weeks ago a caravan arrived at lien: azi with a number of slaves, estimated at 1;01. verymarket t ketis few of these slaves are retained at 'Tripoli, 1.3 a better found for them in the Levant.

ANCIENT CONCERTS.—The sixth performance et ancient music took place on Wednesday nielt under the t urodion of Lcid Burgbereb. Conductor Mr. klith Apart from the eligibility of the business of Messrs. Fryer and Co., the junction with them had two recommendations. First, that the field which it embraced had hither; o been com paratively unoccupied by Joint-Stock Banks, and, secondly, that a link was thus supplied in the chain of connexion between the Company's branches in Devonshire and Hampshire. The Directors embrace this opportunity of ;;lacing upon re cord the expression of their wannest thanks for the confidence and support which, with very few exceptions, the customers of Messrs. Fryer, Andrews, and Co., have continued to their successors. The Directors now beg to call the attention of the Proprietors to the annual statement of account, prepared in the usual manner. 1840. Jan. 1. Amount of undivided profits at this date £46,487 19 9 Dec. 31. Net profits of 1840, after making al lowance for Dad Debts, and for a portion of Preliminary Expenses 31,593 16 .9 78,081 16 6 Deduct Dividend of 6 per cent. for 1840 on Company's Stock Leaving of Undivided Profits on De cember 31, 1840 ... ... £53,432 0 6 When allowance is made for the increase of dividend declared at last meeting, the abode statement, it will be observed, pre sents an improvement over the preceding year. Such is the result of the past, and as regards the future, the additional experience which the branch managershave acquired in their several localities, and the greater perfection which the genet al system of management is daily attaining, justify the expectation that, with a return of more prosperous times, the operations of the establishment will be attended with a still larger measure of success. The Directors have only further to inform the Proprietors, that three of their number go out of office by rotation, viz. John Page Reade, Esq., John Hinxman, Esq., and Almon Hill, Esq. ; but being eligible to be re•elec:ed, offer themselves ac cordingly; and that a vacancy occasioned by the retire ment of Lord Douglas Gordon Hallybur. on is to be supplied. ROBERT HICHENS, Esq., had great pleasure in snoring that the report just read be received and adopted. After doing so it would be competent for any proprietor to put any questions he might think necessary. The report referred to the state of the money market in 1839 and 1840, and he could say, after forty years' experience in that market as clerk and principal, he had never seen any period when so much skill, so much Ihresight, and so much care was necessary in the management of the affairs of a Company like theirs. To have carried their business to such a result as was then before them required the most care ful watching day after day of the fluctuations of the foreign ex changes, of the prospects of the harvest, the fluctuations of the Corn Exchange, the state of the manufacturing districts, and the general prospects of the country. These matters were aggra vated very much by three or four deceitful calms or lulls, and it required no small degree of experience and foresight to decline taking advantage of what appeared to:be favour able op portumties of investing money. Those who did so were compelled bitterly to regret having risked their capital.—(Cheers.) He trusted the Directors would go on steadily pursuing the course of policy they had hitherto adopted, and that they would rot, fur the sake of adding one-half or on« per cent. to their profits, rush after business which might not be permanent. The question was not one of an addition of one-half or one per cent. to their profits, but it was the larger amount of property which was invested in the concern, and which was confided to the discretion of the Directors. When these companies first started he confessed that he looked with great 'suspicion upon Joint-stock Ranks, and be feared that the inducement to look well before the Proprietors and the public would lead them to run too eagerly af er business, but these fears had ail sanished.—(Hear, hear.) He now placed entire confidence in the Company—they had stood the test of experience, and that of the two last }Tars parti, ulaily should induce the Propri tors to place the fullest confidence and reliance upon the Direc tors, who evinced great forbearance and sound judgment in not launching out into too large an amount of business. —( Cheers. ) He had great pleasure in moving the adoption of the Report. Mr. Raowsia concurred most fully in the observations that had fallen from the Honourable Proprietor. His curiosity had led him to go over the Reports made by the Directors fcom time to time, 'and compare them with the present Report. He had great pleasure in stating. for the information of the Proprietors, who had not the same opportunity of making these comparisons, that the result was most satisfactory.—(Cheers.) It was therefore with the greatest pleasure that he had heard reference made to these documents, which of themselves showed the principles on which joint• stock banks bad been established, and that they were calculated to realize 'the most san guine anticipations of those, who were interested in them. their He was sa ti s fi e d t h at t h ese i nst i tut i ons h a d con f erre d gr eater benefits uponeir t o h p e er l a o ti ca o l n dist e r o it u l l s d than any one not acquainted with hear.)
