The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affee tue.s, which few some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the c: dinary 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 sere 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 at 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 ill 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 secrecy may be relied en.

A me, ting of the Sin:itch riders of the above Bank was held yesterday at their premises is Throgrnorson-street. P. M. Sesevart, Esq., the Chairman, and the Directors, entered ti.e Coust-room at one o'clock. The CHAIRNIAN sail that was their seventh anuiverslay, and the Direct try had great pleasure in meeting the Pre r:ct sr ) , on that occasion. Indeed the oftener the Proprie tary of a prosperous iasitte - den like theirs met, the less they wool ! have to say to each other, except through the erelium of the Report and the balance-sheet, which they wn re preitared to lay before the Prop ietors. However, on the present occasion the -e were one or two points to which he felt it his duty t t call their attention, It was exactly on the 10th of February,- i i 1834, chit the London and Westminster Bank was first founded, then leading tke way in London as the parent institution of Joint-ecek Bankieg. It ha lal Ns, been us, ful fur them to brig to their re c dire i the obstacles and hired antics whirls La I ben Virawn i,s their way as a banking establishment. The Le gisl :lure encouraged them to go on, conesiv;ng that the principle upon which they asked tr be established was safe aid sound. But the hallo with which Vreir Bill was necessarily hen isd through Parliament, they found to their co , t, had otteasione I the Leaving alive some snakes in the grata which they had to contend wi:h. He was happy to ::ay, that although the e had attacked their c aule, and tatty had not succceiel in altogether strangling tl esn, they had scotched them and rendered th.trn harm le a 3.—( Chi C ) Ile would mention three of the greatest obstacles which had come in their path, and most ftrmi da'^l opposition they had given. When the narrow lenits of banking scenes broken up, when they were told th it they were to have no limits ta the numbers of their propriet os, they had no idea of the hindrances which they had thrown in their way. The Legislature said they might do basiaess as bankers, and they pursued the ir busi ness as such in a rational manner. When they applited to Parliament for the powers necessary to do so, for the power of suiting a:d being sued, they could net obt .in in The House of Commons granted the privnege, but those con e emed fc r the Bank soon found that it would be a per fectly useleis expense to carry it further, for th-y would have met with obstacles that would have prcve i insurmount able. The next privilege t ey exercised as bankers was that necessary one of accee:ing bills-. Now, did any one ever suppose that they caul! ex ercise ileir calling c f bankers without the power of ac cepting the bills of their custemers? They bad exercised that privilege, but at last an old statute was 4ound out which was agai tat them, and they were prohibited from deiag so any larger. Upon that the common seese of the country came to the ir aid, and though it was a hindrance of some account, it was not such a great one as was to le expected. The next hindrance to their business was tie it exelusisn from the cleiringahouse. At every nice:- ng that point hal been mooted. They had done their best—they hal excited the utmost perseverance, yet with the utmost peacefulness. They had tried by their con duct to prove that it was not only prudent, but that it was just, that they should be admitted to the privilt ges of that House. Ile belies el that there was some difference of opinion among the body on that point. Still they were excluded from all the benefits of the clearance. It was a most ueexpected hindrance, and the more so because it showed a littleness of spirit that could not have been anti. c'pated by any one. That house was established for the private advantage of banking, and was, if anything, rather ag inat the interest of the public—it was a sort of breathine house fur bankers ; a place by the means rf which they were enabled to transact the immense amount of their aggregate business with a compara'ively small capital. That being the case, any Lank in London con ducted on a respectable footing, and doing business in a fair manner, ought to be admitted to all the privileges of that house ; yet that pridlege had been denied them. These were the princi[al points of disadvantage they had laboured under, and he had thought it right to menti wi them at the time when the whole state of the banking busi ness was under consideration. With respect t r the other disadvantage under which they had teee labouring-, viz. the extreme pressure in the money market—that pres sure had t eon very hard during the last year, and indeed almost ever since they had been established—the Proprie tors would be pleased to hear that they bad been able to steer their way pretty clear. At that period, it was needless for him to say much in favour of the pa inei pie c,f k iet-stock bankieg. In 1834 they had b.-gun, and since that pet iAI there had been e:glit stop pages of banks founded upon that principle, from only two of which were the public likely to sustain any loss ; that was a proof that the London and Westminster Bank was founded upon fair principles. In 1834 there were in the c nintry 32 joint-stack banks, now there were nearly 100. In London, in 1834, there were two joint-stock banks, row there were sixteen, including tke trenches. There had been re, disaster in London fom joint-stock banks; it was his painful duty to allude to two instances which Ea I oc curred during the past year which showed the false, hollow, and deceptive system of private banking. It was but fair that he should allude to those instances—(than hear)--for it proved the soundness of their own principle. In one instanc-, from the system of secrecy pursued with regard to the proprietorship, in place of six men being en gaged with their respective capitals lodged in the bank, it turned out that there was only ono solitary individual in the Company, and he without any capital all.—( Hear.) In the otter instance, the principle on which they were established was fully proved. That failure had arisen from private partners being allowed to use the funds of the bank in various speculations. Joint-stock banks could do nothing but bank.—( Cheers.) He mentioned those facts, because the time was now at hand when the hin drances ender which they laboured were to be remedied ; therefore he was anxious to show that there could be no denial of the soundness of the principle upon which they acted. There was now a Committee sitting fur the pur pose "of taking the evidence of witnesses respecting banking, and there would be Committees sitting now until ten great questions were settled, viz., the settle ment of the Bank of Ireland charter, and the renewal of the charter of the Bank of England. With regard to the evidence given last Session, he could only say that it filled a large, a long, and a very blue book —it contained nothing of the slightest value. He had looked it through most carefully, and he could find in it nothing but the philosophy and, be woul.ladd, all the folly of the present system of banking.— ( Hear, hear.) Ha could find in it no practical evidence whatever. He admired the theory- of the cvi :once, but he would scout its practical bearing. He allut:ed to these matters because it would now become their duty to off, r witnesses to give evidence before the Committee, and now was the time for them to effect the removal of the hind rances to which be had alluded. Notwithstanding all those hindrances they had gene on their way in a quiet and peaceful spirit; latterly they had met with more cour tesy, but that courtesy had led to no practical results. However, notwithstanding all these things, the Directors had been doing all in their power to maintain the in terests of the Proprietors, and to prov,, that position he would come to a consideration of the Report which was laid before the Proprietors. .It was well known that a great deal of the pressure of 1839 existed in the money market in 1840, and although money was what was called tight," the interest of money was not Froportiortably high; they had, therefore, to husband their resources, and he hoped the result which would be shown in the Report would justify all the Directors had done in the eyes of the Proprietors. In the year 1835 the first meeting took place at which he had the honour of appearing before' them as one of their Directors. It the year 1835 the profits of the concern were 8,400/. ; in 1836 they were 15,000/. ; in 1837 they were 32,000/. ; in 1838 they were 35,000/. ; in 1839 they were 46.000/. ; in 1840 they were 48,0001 ; and in the present year they were 48,9001., or 49,000/.—(Cheers)-- and during the last two years the 2,000/. a year allowed to the Directors might be added to the profits of those two years, which would make the profits upwards of 51,0001. Then with respect to their dividends, up to 1839, they had paid 5 per cent., and now they paid 6 per cent. 1n1835 the reserved fund was 12,0001., in the present year it was 46,000/.—(Cheers.) All these results had been obtained from the pure banking principls.—( Cheers.) There were two points in the Report to which be wished to call the attention of the Proprietors, and to obtain their sanction. The Directors now having plenty of good busi ness, had come to the resolution of issuing 10,000 more shares, for the purpose of raising the capital of the Com pany from 597,0091. to 800,0001., and those shares were to be given to the Proprietors at par, in proportion of one share to each three now held by the Proprietors.—(Cheers.) He thought be was justified in saying that if this additional capital was raised they would be enabled to de a proportionate quantity of, good sound business, and that the Directors would be en abled to render to the Proprietors as goad an account as they had done at the present moment.—(Cheery.) In 1836, their profits varied from 15,0001. to 32,0001; by the power that had been given to the Directors, the capital which up to 1836 was 245,000/., was raised in April of that year to 400,000/., and, by the additional shares, that capital was further raised to 597,0001, the result cf which was, that their profits, which were before that period 15,0001., bad advanced to 32,000/. in 1837, and from that period they bad increased gradually. He was, therefore. justified in saying, that with the prospects they them, if the capital was raised to 800,000/. they would b enabled to give a most excellent account to the Proprie: tors, and they would be enabled soon to give an inc_re. a u s n e d d , dividend.—(Cheers.) With regard to the reserve d on had taken he knew that in a sister institution a discuss* place with respect to its principle; and if any question bad before Wi h i eqseet to the. first proposition, it was his duty to mention teat he thought there was some vagueness in its expression. It might be interpreted as he (the Chairman) interprited it, t. mean that the interest due on the original 1 , a': wou!ti be paid in the form eat iblished by the bond— that was, 6 per cent., in Lender!. It ha I, li )(Nese., baen niterpre- ed by sonic to comprise the whole int -rest on the 0: igir al lean and arrears. The second proposal varied creel that of Mr. Cald(leu,gh, inasmuch as he proposed that these bonds should remain without interest for five tea s, while the Chiliin Government proposed ten years. With respect to the third article, it proposed a most im por ant change in the security ti.ey had on the old bond, heirg no less than that the primitive. obligation relating to redem; fen should be extinguisliel, and that the Go vernment should be free to effect it to the extcro, and at the time when it might please, which he (the Chairman) con sidered to mean, not at all.—( blear.) The fourth proposal spoke fer iLelf, and exhib ted a desire to set aside an original contract ; and 'it was for the bondholders to consider whether they would sanction it. The fifth propos(' teas an important one, and he begged to vial their attention to i'. Such were the proposals received from the Chilian Government through Mr. Caldeleugle and having received their, the Committee had deliberated on them, and bai come to cart tin resolutions, which they would presently submit to the meeting, but which he would beg leave to preface with a few observations. First, it was satisfactory as regarded the original debt to find the resources of the country had been in a state of progressive ire ease from the year 1833 to 1839. After paying all the expenses incurred in the war with B eivia, there was an excess between these years of 616,192 dollars, and he believed-the Chilian Government was it, a condition to pay 6 per cent. on the original debt, and 3 per cent. on the ar rears capi•alized, and to commence payment immediately. —( Hear, hear.) The receipts at the Custom-house of Valparaiso for the first ton months of 1840 had exceeded the I eecipts of all the Custorr.-houses of the Republic for the preceding yerr. —( ilcar, hear.) It was, hoe ewer, enough to state that the ability of the Chilian Govern': e - t fir the future must remain, as he feared, the subject of cure cation. 'I hey would remember Mr. Cald cleugh proposed th At the arrears of interest sit uld be (-aped zed. and that he had made that proposal without ;I e authorny i f the Committ e. It . kas not his (the Cli irma es) duty to offer then any opinion on the subject, but havi. g thought it his duty to pay tviry attention to the itibieet, he hoped to he excuse I fur offering a few tug :ce iaes.—( Hear, hear.) The first thing to which he would c.. 1! a teetion was the delay that had attended these m g eiaeions from the west of authority on the t art of their agent t ere. From this reason eighteen months bad now elapsed without anything being done, and Colonel Wal pole said if they did not mind they would 1 )se a like pe riod again. He knew there were many gentlemen who overlea i n'd cal difficulties in the way, and said they would hay- , the bond, the whole bond, and nothing short of it. This he should be glad to get, being himself a I:tr4o bond holder, but he thought they should eensider now what was pract:cable rasher than what was right, and that if they could not get all th •y claimed they should get ,b,,oeitui ertr, a ‘apee l rcsa l :o.; ht t on: h ierftse e actc y rnn.tie)ti c ,: o lkei u .,:fl l .

These, however, were questions for the meeting ti determine, and therefore, thanking them for the attention they had paid him, he would submit to them the resolutions.— i (Hear, hear.)

The recent completion of the Harbour, and opening of Port Talbot, have added largely to the demand from Bristol, Corn wall, Devonshire, and Ireland, where these coals have the pre ference. is intended that the Capital of the Company skould be in creased to 150,0001. in Shares of 2501. each, payable by instal ments of 501. each, and it can be shown that such capital will annually return from 30,0001. to 40,0001.

The following Report and statement of the affairs of the Compony were then read : 2 REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS OF THE LONDON AND WESTMINSTER BANK, TO THE SHAREHOLDERS, AT THEIR SEVENTH AN NUAL MEETING, HELD ON THE BANK PREMISES, LOTH BURY, MA RCii 3, 1841. Patrick M. Stewart., Esq., in the Chair. The Directors have much pleasure in meeting the Share holders at their Seventh Annual 111ecting, and in reporting that th 3 business of the Bank has proceeded, during the past year, in the same steady course which marked the progress of former years. The profits of the year, after defraying all the current ex penses, and making allowance for all bad and doubtful debts, amount to 48,951/. Bs. 10,1. Ont of these profits the Direc tors paid last September, a dividend at the rate of six per ceat. per annum upon the half-year ending in June. And they now declare a similar dividend, payable on Wednesday next, upon the half-year ending in last December. After the payment of these dividends, there will remain from the profits of the year 13,114/. 12s. 10d., which added to 33,1001. 11 s. Id., the unappropriated profits of former years, will make the sur plus fund arising solely from banking profits, amount to 46,215/. 3s. 11d. The Direcurs being of opinion that it is desirable t 3 in crease the eapltal of the Bank, have cleterniincd to issue ten thousand more of the unappropriated shares. And as they think that any additional value which t'lese shares now pos sess fairly belongs to those who joined the undertaking in its early stages, they will issue them wilhout premium to the present proprietors, in the proportion of one to every three shares all-catty held. The payments will be made by four in stalments of 51. each. The details of this arrangement will be communicated by a circular letter, addres,A to each share holder. By this measure the paid-up capital of the Bank will be increased to 800,0001. The Direc.ors who retire from office on the present occasion are Sir Thomas Freemantle, .Bart.; William Haigh, Esq. ; and Joseph Esdaile, Esq. ; but these gentlemen being eligible, offer themselves for re-election. _ During the past year the banking institutions of the coun try have occupied a large portion of pub'ic attention. The Directors trust that the events and discussions which have taken place will have the effect of diffusing a correct knowledge of the principles of joint-stock tanking - , and that institutions like the London and Westminster Ban' will be allowed to ex ercise the sal—e legal rights and privileges which are accorded to other banking establislatunta. .

Und-e• such circum stances he thought great credit was due to them for the manner in which they had conducted the affairs of the Benk.—( Hear, hear.) In no inst ince bad the profit; of the Bank been diminished in any one year. He happened to have. a personal knowledge of very extensive money transactions, and he was gratified to state that none of their Directors, or other parties connected with the Bank, had been borrowers of money.—( Hear, hear.) That was a great proof of the judgment and discretion with which they had conducted the affairs of the Bank. With reg ard to the increase or capital, he, for one, woul I have been far more pleased if it had been increased to one million. Having already had satisfactory proof of the manrer is which their affairs were managed, it was in itself a sufficient security that the increased capital would pay an ample dialled, while it formed a security to the pul.lic, which was so necessary in times like the present. He believed there would be no dissentient erg arding the proposition of the Directors, and he was so satisfied of the continued prosperity of the Bank, 'Oat he should have been glad if the capital were increased 200,0001 more. Mr. LUARD seconded the motion, a-id he could not sit down without congratulating his fellow-shareholders on the advantage of being connected with so excellaut and profitable an undo: takin g . Mannst.ny said, 'Mot-) the question was put be wished to make a few observations. He fully ago eed in the observations made by their. Chairman, whose zealous and indefatigable exertions in promoting tee interests of the c mcern were admitted by all, as to the benefits and advantages which were likely to result to the community at large from the establishment of joint-stock banks pro perly conducted. It was equally certain that they might become mighty implements of miachi f. fraught with the greatest danger and inevitable ruin to all those concerned in them, unless they were conducted on prim iples of the greatest economy and foresight. Now while he received with implicit faith all the statements of the Directors (for he could not call it a Report, it was merely an abstract), he for one was presumptuous enoegh to think that it would have been far more satisfactory if the Directors had laid before the Po rrietors not an abstract, but a detailed state went, of the accounts of the Bank. It would seem from the Report that the less they knew of their affairs, while the result was satisfactory, the better. lie, however, be lieved that the more th kre.v of them the better —they were all aware that unlimited confidence begat neglect, and their affairs would get into a state of confusion. lie believed no detailed account of the income and expenditure had ben sent reund to the Proprietors since the year 1835, and then it was obvious that the plan gave the greatest satisfaction. He had observed in the Morning Herald a statement. which be thought required some explanation, namely, that at their \Vbitechapel Branch these had been a very considerable c'efalcation, and that the manager had been found making fraudulent entries in the books, and had been engaged in transactions with a fraudulent creditor. He ai,hed to know whether the secur'ties of that gentlaman had been found sufficient, and whether he had been removed from the management, be cause it was clear that he was totally , unfit to be entrusted with such a situation?—( Hear, hear.) He should like also to know if these liabilities with the Northern and Central Bank, which in 1837 were stated to be sufficient, had been fully satisfied and discharged? He wished also to know whether the debt upon the building in which they then were had been discharged, or if it was in course of liquidation ? It might be considered impertinent, but he would wish also to be informed whether they had a surveyor at present mei% ing a salary from them ? He would be glad also to know what was the rent received for the offices let off from their establishment, as private report had it that they were considerably under'et. He was no judge of these matters and knew nothing about them personally, but they were questions of factious consideration to the shareholders:ea( Hear, hear.) lie now came to another important matter—he tad agreed to the necessity of having a detailed esti nate inst-ad of an abstract. They all knew by experience that a body of men picked out from the moot respectable in society, who one and all, would score to deviate from the strictest principles of in tegrity individually, committed as a body acts which indi vidually they would repudiate ; therefore, it was essential to the Shareholders to know on what principles the in tricate departments of the establishment were conducted. The Shareholders would recollect that they had a large number of agents in various parts of the town, and they required a good deal of supervisi in and auperintendence. Now, in order to know what they were doing, he should like to know what were the law expenses of the past year. Looking at the Report made in the year 1835. he found that the law expenses amounted to the sum of 2,880/. In 1837 the law expenses amounted to 2,685/. Is , making in the two years, not consecutive—the sum of 5,565/. ls. spent in law. Was not that enough to show the necessity of some inquiry into the expenditure? Since 1837 the Proprietors had had no statement upon the subject. Now he did mean to say that he could not understand why in such an establishment there should be more cats than there were mice to catch. —( Cheers ) He hoped he was not trespassing too much upon their time, but with such enormous expenses for law business, he would put it to the Proprietors whether it would not be better to have a solicitor of their own at a fixed salary, who should do all their business, and so not only condo` et x o Pe Whie e l; but prevent unnecessary ones. Another he wi-hed to direct the attetiti on of h thought it was a most important principle tte t money to ha a t e t he Direc tors should be prevented from v away any sanction of the charities or otherwise without th th t ei n wby direct Proprietors.—( Hear, hear.) He the newsprapers mooe/r.o accident he had to the .Clerka' Pen sion that they had voted the sum ai b o y f I Fund—(Cheers) — learned that they were subscribers to two other charitable n w e h , io h h e t h h e e l y ieved, was th Bat w• re subscribers of i f i u o n g d t s o . o — c ( h H a e r i a t r y , ea r.

God forbid that he should be the one to put a stop to cha ity I He was only anxious that such en abuse as it might become should not enter into their Corporation. Having said so much, h e " u m touch feel called upo n to move the continuance of th e subacrip tiona. It was not t h e mone y , but the principalien, t t l o aa t conten ded for, because it was one of which h e f e l t great appre hension. —(Cheers.) He was about, again, upon very delicate ground—he felt great respect for the Directors, and would not wish to say oee word that would appear to reflect upon them; but he believed that they were'self-elected.—(Crics of " No, no.") lie did uncle-- stand there was to be an election that day, and he would willingly vote for the re-election of the retiring Direc tors, but he had never been c anvassed for any vote, fuld he was anxious for open electiorpi so that they might ob- , f-CIC EVENII4G ED/TION. fain the assist:wag of new area able mei, and new' prinele ples._(Fleur, hear.> There w:es no corp ervion a le the City that was net much abused where the t leatten was s Agsie, smit n ieley ne.tt7rs :Vele to be set tled, and such immense accounts t.) he made out, was it not straege that there shoubLbe no audit e re? Was it PossiWe that Mr. Gilbert could make out .c.eteh comaca ed account:, or was it to be cxpectel that tile Dire tyre could audit them ?—it was tee 1111 , 61 expect it. —(Hear, hear, hear.) He wr:s about to tench upon even more delicate ground than any he had yet gone over, but he wished to call the particular atter:- lion of the Proprietors. They would al recollect the disastrous failures of the two private Banks, aol the causes which led to their ruin. They would remember the disastrous and ruinous consequences which followed the Guildford bankntptey—they would remember the case of the Northern and Central Bank where t e Di rectors were found to have been accommodating r. adr other to the moat unlimited degree.—( El, a hear.) He weu!d submit, without in the lea,t referring to the pre sent Directors, whether it would not he very setislatoory If the Directors could suggest some motes among t themselves for the security of the Proprietors, by whiolt Vie advances of money to the Directors should be regu. feted.—.(Hear, hear.) He knew that it was a delicate subject to trespass upon—(Clieur:)—but he had thought it his duty to throw out the suggestion—he tea} only to beg pardon for trespassing so long, and he hoped he had not said one word which would tun.l to cause ditcerd amongst the Proprietors.—(Cheers ) The CHAIRMAN said it was the fr e'ing of every oee of the Directory, and also of every Propr:etor present, that they were deeply indebted to the Hon. Proprietor for the questions he had put. H was, because he felt that he could respond to them moat satiJa2torily, and that his answers would establish the. Directors steal mote firmly in the confidence of the Proprietors. The first questi.m - was as to the detailed accounts which were wished to be laid before the Proprietary, and the Hoe. Gentleman al.. laded to 1835, when accounts were presented. That gee-- tion had been mooted at several meetings, and the answer then given he hoped would prove satisfactory on that oc cash:). The Directors were responsible for the accerecy of the details of the accounts laid before the Prop:ieters, and they thought it proper that t'ley should not proclaim to the public and to rival establiAments more of their anirs than was absolutely recessery. With regard to Mr. Roes,, the Melange: - d V:eir Etstcrn Branch, he had purpesely abstained front taring notico of thq in the :t itements he bad made at the opeei eg of the meeting, in order that lie might give a most explicit statement to thee Proprietors on the subject. Mr. Rees e the Manager at the Eastern Branch, had been a material defaulter, and when that was discev.e - cd, the Directors took all the precaution, which 11E.y. always *did, to guard the ir,te:ests of the Proprietors, at d the result, he was happy to say., wee that they had made good their claims against 1113 securities of that indivhluz.!, and he believed no loss would take place from that transaction to the Corn parry. The moment Mr. Ree.'s dolinqueoey was detected. he was suspended, and his transactioes suppressed. Ho had a melancholy pleasure i t rrivenirg to Mr. Rees's eclinquencies, became they n, t as a con trast to the conduct of the other six Managers, who had the entire confidence of the Directors, and ho had no doubt would ale ays have it. —(Cheers ) Wish rt gated to the northern and coat . al lisb.ii acs , Le was happy to say tha th it had tunied out a g investment, oriina for they had get all their moac:, togeth er wi t h 5 percent. —(Cheers.') With regard t, the tic illiot*, the demand fur it was .18.000/. ; hut, by s o m e s li g h t bg e . r d ee main on the part of the Directors, in applyii g the purchase of shares to the liquidation tithe expense, ti. a sum had been reduced to 30.000!. , aed he zit mg lit ti e rrete ietors would admit that tha' vat a good ievestment c,f the is meaty. Mr. MAUDSLEY wished to know if he was to uac. - stand that that amount was not paid; and if it was trot, whether it was in the tieit of payment ? . . .

As to the law expenses, they had been re eat, he admitted, is 1835 and 1836, but that expeess been incurred in procuring their Charter, in their ?am suit with tl.e Balk of Englael, and in obtaining tad, Act for melee and being sued. Tho c expenses exceed 5,0004 but this he would venture to say, and it augured well fur the. Company, that within the I:st i alt) ear the law exprises had net seceded 1501. for the pr.:sent Bank and all its branches. —( Che qs.) It was arid i ► his minty that a buret bairn dreat'ei the fire—(Laughter)—and acting upon that p: inciple, tie Directors had avoided law ar much as possible. It was, in short, too vulgar far them.—( Loud laughter.) Then as to tile charities to which the Honourable Proprietor had alluded—they hal certainly coot ihtved 1001. to the Clerks' Pension Fund, and he thought that every Proprie tor would admit that they could not have done better with their more;, because, what was ye object of that excellent sociea ? Lt was to pro , i !e for disab'e f clerks of bankers in Lendon. The Bank of England hal given 5001. to that Institution, and he believed every Bank in the City bad given the same sum that they had.—( Cheers.) As to the Directors being self-elected, he Lelieved the Hon. Propric or was convinced that such • sans not the case, shortly after he had made Lin statement. The Di-actors that went out by rotation were in the hands of the Proprietors, and any geritlemin aspiring to the honour of a seat in the Direction, by giving six weeks' notice would be earners tesit to be elated. In allusion t t the •:iel'alea.ion of !Ir. Rees, the Hon. Proprietor had observed that he consid..red some strict superintendence shoal l Le had over the different Manag,irr. Now with respect to that he could assure the Hon. Proplistor th it there was a responsible visitation every day by some of the Proprietors, to all the branchea connected with the establishment. With regard to au diting the ace:au:its, he begged to state that eaery week there was a Coremittee of Directors to audit every ae. count, and they had io the result of tl:e accounts submitted to the Proprietors fie weekly stamp of the are.ctors upon it. As to the last point to which the Hoe. Proprie;or had adverted—the advances made to the Directors—he could assure him that they were treated as the common custom. erg of the Bank were, and no accommodation was given to them further than was given to the other customers of the i bank. He believed now that he had answered all tbo questions put by the Hon. Proprietor, and he trusted that I those answers had teen satisfact t ry. Mr, MAUD3LEY observed that tie worthy Chairman had satisfied him upon all the subjects he hal a leers ed to ee -1 cept two—one invclved the i rinciple of their voting away money for objects of charity without the sanction of the Proprietors. He had no objection to tie Dile:lora being charitable, but he thought they ought to make some prc li at the gene -al meeting for that purpose, end if they did so, he should not oppose it; but he not like I the ptinciple c f the Directors ; iving away the money of the Proprietors without the sanction cf a public meetin g . It appeared also to him, th it as far as regarded their pre limitary expenses they ought to 1 aec a c'eatitcd account. and not such as had been produce .1 tht t day. The CHAIRMAN said, that the items which had been given away in charity sac e very small, and he was pre. pared to justify every eue of them. The resolution for the adoption and clrculation of the Report was then put to the meeting by tl c Chairman, and declared by him to he carried unatiimousle, On the motion of Mr. SAVAGE, seconded by Mr. MAD DEN, the cordisl thanks of the meeting sic , e unanimously voted is the Directors far eir successful governmetit and management of thcabank;darine '' the last year.

Mr. NIAUDSLEY said he might be interrerieg with some , other gentleman, but ato the observations he had felt it his , duty to snake, be should take the Jibe ty of seconding the motion as the best Ir.:of he could give of his continued con. fidence in the Directors, and of his satisfaction at the state. merit that had just been made.
