The deposits have decreased 523,0001 ; the difference be tween 8,052,00C1. and 7,529,0001. The securities have decreased 139,0001. the difference between 23,567,000/. and 23,428,000/. The bullion has decreased 262,000/. : the difference between 4 ,975,000/. and 4,713,000/. The " rest" is put dos'n at 3 ,020,000/. The reduction of about a quarter of a million further in the stock of bul lion may seem important, considering how low that stock is ; but the large quantities of silver coming in from the westward, and the favourable position main tained by the continental exchanges; preclude the appre hension of any fresh exportations of moment. The general idea appears to be, indeed, that gold will now be remitted this way., Circumspection on the part of the Bank Director/is dil that'is requisite to keep things quiet. thaCtHaltiioe4LlCLtlik from— ltV e t h h e tt . c v have n l l e in e i r t i t i e e e d o N f v i t s h p a s n a i s t i h s f a A c m t i oen ri can Iton told*, headed by Mr. G. R. Robinson, the Chairman, had an „interview to-day with Lord Aber deen, at the Foreignoffice. Mr. Robinson stated that the object which th Committee h a d i n v i ew -in soliciting this interview with is L or d sh i p, was to e xpress t h e ly hope of the Committ th a t t h e same ass i stance w hi c h had for some time past been aff or d e d b y t h e B r iti s h Go vernment hresnpportig the claims', of the Bondholders on the several 'Spanish American States would be con tinFd by the Government which had recently acceded to bffice - :-. Mr. Robinson stated distinctly that the Com mittee could not for a moment entertain a doubt upon the subject, but that as the amount involved in these several claims was 4t-y large, and the parties concerned therein very . numeroa, the Committee had felt that it would be a satisfaCtion t 6 them to be assured of the continued aid g t t and support of her Majesty's Gov ernment . Lord; manner,Ab erdee th l a l' t i-but in a very cour teous ahfeterthroe tiruhark i ng•e present application somewhat superfluous, assured till deputation, in the most unequivocal terms, that the ''present Government would relax no efforts with the Sta - s in question to sus tain the just claims of the bondhol s, and that when ever any special case should arive - Which-the aid of the British Government might be required, the Com mittee had only to apply to him, •and their representa tions should receive immediate attention. The Committee of Spanish American bondholders have done their constituents good service by waiting upon Lord Aberdeen, and telling his Lordship plainly that they fully rely on his walking in the footsteps of Lord Palmerston, because his Lordship was the means of obtaining a settlement from the Chilian, Mexican, and Venezuelan Governments ; and his instructions to our consular representatives only require to be rigidly en forced in order to secure justice to the English creditors of foreign States. The Committee& of 'Spanish and Portuguese bond holders will fail in their duty to those whose interests are confided to their charge, if they do not imitate the example set them by the South American Committee, and also wait upon Lord Aberdeen, for the purpose of obtaining an assurance that he will act in accordance with the views of Lord Palmerston, and afford them the same efficient assistance in the advancement of their claims upon the debtor states. Knowing the sympathy which the Tory Government has always felt for Carlism in Spain, the Committee of Spanish bondholders have good grounds for soliciting an interview with his Lord ship, under existing circumstances, to obtain a direct assurance that every support will be afforded to the Re gent Espartero in maintaining his Government and in suppressing the insurrection in the Basque provinces. TIMES.—A fact connected with the assignment of the list of the assets of the United States Bank, which took place some months ago, is commented on with great indignation by some of the American papers. The assignees, in collecting the assets, refused to receive the notes of the Bank in payment, to the manifest detri ment of the note-holders.. The Bank, being bound to take its notes in payment of the debts due to it, the as signment of its claims to a third person is regarded as a paltry ovasion. This is but one of the many instances of the. opprobrium which the United States Bank has encountered, and of which fresh instances transpire on almost every arrival. In a letter from Philadelphia, which is published in a New York paper, the following description of the effects of the failure is contained : " Persons at a distance can hardly conceive the extent of private distress which the failure of the United States Bank has occasioned. A continued gloom seems to have settled upon the faces of a large portion of the inhabit ants. In almost all the circles in which you visit, you hear of some poignant instance of suffering—of wealthy families suddenly reduced to poverty, of widows who have lost their all, of orphans stripped of the patrimony which a long life of labour and economy on the part of their parents had collected for them, of merchants com pelled by diminished means to relinquish their houses, and move out of town, and of labourers robbed of the hard. earned sayings of many years. Indeed, the details are melancholy ; the usual gaieties of society seem to be arrested ; and but for the absence of the customary symbols of mourning, one would be disposed to think that the whole city had experienced a great loss, that some calamity had visited it, that a pestilence had car ried off its people, or that some great good man, univer sally beloved, had been taken away by death. Such is the general expression of sadness. that you SP.. A v.ry where.

Major-General Sir John May, K.C.B. and K.C.H., has resigned the office of Inspector of the Royal Carriage Department in the Arsenal at Woolwich, which he filled with the greatest public satisfaction during the last nine years, having been appointed to it in 1832. On the re tirement of this brave officer from active employment the following account of his long services will be read with interest :—Sir J o h n M ay entered the R oya l Mili tary Academy on the 3d o f F e b ruary, 1794, as a gentleman cadet, and was appoi n t e d to a comm i ss i on i n t h e R oya l Engineers on the 6th of March, 1795. He was employed afloat in bomb service from the Ist of December, 1797, to the 16th of April, 1801, and was present in the engagement at Copenhagen in 1807. From the 18th of January, 1809, to the 26th of June, 1814, he served in the Peninsula, and in France, and was present let the battles of Talavera, Busaco, and Fuentes d'Oner, and the sieges of Ciudad Rodrigo and Badajos, and the siege of the forts and battle of Sala manca, the battle of Vittoria, the siege of San Sebastian, the passages of the Bidassoa, Niveiles, and Nive ; at the battle of Toulouse, and at numerous skirmishes during that long war. After the short peace of 1814 he accom panied the troops to the Continent, and was present at Quatre Bras and Waterloo, and at the capture of Paris. Sir John received two musket balls through the left thigh when charging the French rear-gitard on the morn ing after the battle of Salamanca, and a violent contusion at Vittoria. his decorations as a reward for his ser vices are a medal and three clasps. Sir John May was raised to the rank of Major-General on the 28th of June, 1838. By J. L. CURTIS and COMPANY, Consulting Surgeons, London.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, •r treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases ; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret practices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel ne hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relat)on of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a prematnee grave, in conse quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on - perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease,, talses,- &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the Qulgence in certain destructive habits practised by 3• ith much more frequently than it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds {temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of .a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed and: very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils aro sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the dis astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished. Colonel R. J. J. Lasy, of the Royal Artillery, a gal lant officer, who has seen considerable service, and who, when taken prisoner during the late civil war in Spain, narrowly escaped being murdered by the order of 1)on Carlos, has been appointed to the office of Inspector of the Royal Carriage Department, ♦acant by the resigna tion of Sir John May.

BANK OF MANCHESTER. —ANNUAL MEET ING OF Pnoentwrons.--The twelfth annual general meeting of the proprietors of th:s bank was held in the large room of the York Hotel, King-street, on Thursday last, and was numerously attended. Mr. J. C. Dyer, the Chairman of the Board, occupied the chair. The Report of the Directors was read, by which it appeared that the net profits of the year, ending the 30th June last, were 50,8301., out of which two dividends of 9 1 per cent. each had been paid to the proprietors, making to gether 37,051/., and leaving a balance of 13,7791, which had been carried to the reserved surplus fund. Adding that sum to the previous reserved fund (36,6.00 gives a sum 0150,4211. ; and deducting from this sum the total estimated amount of losses to Ist July last, viz. 31,100/.• there would still remain a balance of 18,321/. at the credit of the reserved surplus fund. The Report stated, amongst other things, that the establishment ceased to, be a bank of issue on the 19th of July last ; that the amount of the paid-up capital is 741,031/., and the num ber of proprietors 515. Messrs. J. C. Dyer, John Brown, and Samuel Prince, retiring Directors, were re elected ; and Mr. John Potter wa4 elected i n th e p l ace of Mr. Thomas 011ivant, resigned.—lllanchester Guardian.

SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY.—The sessions for this town corunveu.ced yesterday morning, before Mr. Cock burn, Queen's Counsel, the Recorder for the borough: The business was more than usually heavy, there being very many prisoners for trial, and among them were four persons charged with a conspiracy to defraud an indivi dual by means of the " thimble-rig." This morning the following persons were placed at the bar :—Benjamin Parrot, of Sheffield, file-grinder; John Purcell, of Dudley, glass-cutter ; Francis Verrier, of Burford, Oxon, cook ; Joseph Kemp, of Stafford, haw ker ; and James Curran, of Southampton, labourer. tence upon the prisoners. Their offence was one which appeared to him to derive no circumstance of extenua tion from the fact of such practices having been exten sively tolerat e d ; th a t f act on l y ca ll ed for a Moto rigo rous application of the penalties of the law, when any one came forward to demand that the law should be put in force. He should not be discharging hie duty if he did not take the opportunity of making en oxamplo of them for the benefit of others. It happened that poor persons who took only a small amount of property were compelled to atone for their offence, for offences which were white indeed as compared with their oviduct. He regretted that it was not in his power to transport them, for if he had had such power, he most unquestion ably would -have exercised it. He hoped the punishment he should now inflict would have the effect of keeping such persons at all events from coming within this juris diction, if it did not altogether put an end to such frau dulent practices. There was a distinction in their cases, and therefore the sentence would be that Parrot; Purcell, and Verrier, should be imprisoned for two years, and pay a fine to the Queen of 501. each, and that Kemp and Cur ran should be imprisoned for one year, and pay a fine of 251. each, and that they should be further imprisoned till the fines were paid. The prisoners were indicted for conspiring together to cheat and defraud the subjects of the Queen of their money by procuring them to play at nn unlawful game called " thimble-rigging," and thereby obtaining divers large sums of money to the amount of 2001. In one count the prisoners were charged with defrauding Thomas Spencer Edwards by the said game. Mr. C. Saunders conducted the case for the prosecu tion, and Mr. Miller, of the Midland Circuit, came from .London specially to defend the prisoners. ICIT.I.SAUNUERS having stated the facts of the case pro ceeded to.trill his witnesses. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. Thomas Sisincer Edwards—l am a planter of the Island of Afitigua, educated at Norwich. I left England at eighteen years of age, in the year 11304. I returned on the Ed of July last.' I went to Southampton races both days. On the second day I left my carriage and walked on the course. I saw several persons standing in a ring round a table. Parrott, Purcell, and Verrier were there. Roam was made for me to g e t c l ose t o les a table. On the table were three thimbles and a pea. man asked persons to play, and I saw several so vereigns lost an won. I was solicited by a by stander to try m luck. After considering a moment I took out my purse, in which were one sovereign and a SC/. note. I put down a sovereign and turned up a thimble, under which I thought the pea was, but I found I had lost. The parties around saw the 501. note. The prisoners were dressed as gentlemen. Other persons played. Parrott said to me, you had better try your luck stein, Sir. I replied I had nothing but a 501. note, which I did not like to change. Many stakes were laid of 101. 201., and 301., and lost and won. A man be hind the player frequently took up the thimble and ex posed the pea, crying now is the time to win, the man at the tabltpretending at the instant to look another way. At length the man at the table laid down 50 sovereigns, and challenged any man to bet the same sum. I put down my 50/ note, and almost instantly lost it. The man behind had at that moment exposed the pea. I chose that thimble, but the pea had vanished. I turned away, disgusted with myself for being so foolish, with an inten tion of joining my family on the course. Parrott came to me, and said he was truly sorry for my loss ; that I was very unfortunate, but that I should not have lost if I had not been so much agitated. He thrust his arm into mine, and walked a short distance with me, and asked me to take a glass of sherry with him, which I declined. The table suddenly appeared immediately before us. having been removed from its former position. Parrott then said, " Let us go and look e en, and see if we can't find out the game; two eyes are better than one." We wont to the table, round which were Purcell and Verriers. Several large sums were again lost and won. Parrott touched •me once or twice, and asked me under which thimble I thought the pea was ? I told him, and he coincided with me. After that he advised me to try my luck again. I said I had no money. He said that ho had none himself, but that his friend Verrier would lend me some. I replied, I did not like to bor row money of strangers. These words were scarcely out of my mouth before a handful of sovereigns was put into my hand, and drawn upon the table. They said there were twenty sovereigns. I lost them. The same loan was repeated, in the same man ner, three times, Parrott each time saying, " Try your luck again, and you will win b ae k y our money ." I never asked any loan, but Verrier said, " Take this, Sir, and try and win back your money." Verrier then told me I owed him 701., and asked e me for my card. I gave him a card. He then said, it sets-usual among gentlemen to give some security ; and we walked to the back of the tents, the three accompanying me. Verrier asked a fourth person if he had his book and pencil, which were produced,. and I wrote in it a promise payable at tea) days after date, for 70/. Soon after the fourth man pro duced two blank stamps, and said to Verrier, " You had better let the gentleman give two notes, one for so/. and the other for 401., as the stamps will not cost a largo sum." I said, I would not give two, but I would give the 70f. on one. Velvier said, very well, and he would destroy the one in the book. I wrote the note on the table, Parrott saying, this fellow will lend his table to write on. Verrier apparently walked away. The fourth man produced the ink from his pocket. The play commenced again, and one man lost ten sovereigns, upon which he said he would stake his watch to win back his money ; he put it on the table. Purcell took it up, and said he would lend him ten sovereigns upon it ; it was a silver watch. The man won, and then took up ten sove reigns, and Purcell returned the watch to him. They then again exposed the pea and Purcell said, " Now's your time, Sir ; I will l en d you some money," and he took out twenty sovereigns from his pocket, and said, " As it was usual to give security, just give ins your watch." I drew my watch out, and lie took it from me and put it in his fob, saying it would be quite, safe. I put the twenty sovereigns on the table, and instantly lost them. I then thought I saw the man sweep the pest off the Jade, and I aairl, " Thom is: foul play." Parrott said, " No, Sir, I assure you it is quite fair." I had alm) s selected the thimble under which the pea had been exposed. I had another twenty sovereigns of Purcell. He asked me if I knew how much I had had of him, and I said 40/. ; but Parrott said lie would assure me it was 501, and asked me to gee on one side and give him a`" good" for 50/ We retired a short distance, and the same kook was produced by Purcell, and I wrote in it a promissory note for SC/ Parrot had never left me. We then walked again on the course, Parrot deploring my loss. Purcell and the other man followed behind. One of them asked me. whether they should call at my residence for payment ? I said no, it might discomfort my family ,• but if they would name any place, I would attend and pay them. They named the Nelson, to meet two days afterwards. I lamented parting with my watch so much, that I said I would meet them that evening. Parrot told me that Verrier was a traveller for an eminent house ; that Purcell was a man of immense fortune, which he had lately acquired by the death of an uncle, and could buy half South ampton ; that he himself was the principal man in a banking house. I wished to get away from them, but they stuck fast to me. Parrott said lie would advise mo strongly not to mention the circumstance to a single person, as I should only be laughed at. I walked away, and they watched me off the course. I did not keep my appointment that evening. I took advice the next morn ing, and in the evening I went to the Nelson with my solicitor ; and Parrott, Purcell, and Verrier walked in. In a short time a police-officer came in and took them into custody. Purcell had my watch at that time, and Verrier had one note and Purcell another. They were taken from them by the policeman. The memorandum book was taken from Purcell, I think. Cross-examined---I am now living at Ryde. There were several similar tables on the course. I did not bet at any of the races. Before the officer came into the Nelson, my solicitor asked Purcell to give up my watch, but he refused to do so unless his demand was .,n Saturday satisfied. There is h orse - rac i ng at A nt i gua, but no NI gambling is allowed.

These things, though in themselves trifles, yet are at all times important agents in the treatment of insanity, and they become of still more importance and value in as institu tion where the 'patients are undergoing a change from a system of coercion to one of comparative freedom. Mn: 211 of the excitement liable to arise in patients who have been subjected to restraint, there is ream to con clude, has been averted by these means. . A liberal supply of books has been provided klr the use of the patients ; the library crazies of 2k vo lumes. They are read with apparent pleasure and in terest, and a few of the patients have been encouraged to read aloud to the rest ; this evidently promotes a good feeling,—is an agreeable mode of occupying time and conduces to the restoration of the faculties. One daily and several weekly newspapers are regu larly supplied, as well as Chambers's Journal, and the Penny and Saturday Magazines. The object of this institution being the restoration of the mental faculties, it would seem supeiflous to attempt more than thin ; nevertheless, in a few cases, endeavours have been made to communicate instruction in reading and writing, and happily not without some degree of success. No cases cause more anxiety to the medical ewers of a lunatic asylum than those in which there is a dis position to commit suicide. A large proportion *1 pa tients admitted have evinced this propensity ; aud, al though the attempts to effect their purpose have bo, , n both numerous and ingenious, yet we are happy to re port that in no instance have they been successful, not withstanding such patients are not subject to any spucies of mechanical restraint,—Report of Lancaster Luna tic Asylum, 1 841. NEWSPAPER REPORTING IN CHINA. •. (From the Canton Register of June 15.) LOCAL NEWS.—The following is a brief statement of the late important affairs, drawn up by a caterer for the Chinese public. It is interesting, as it shows the ideas _prevalent among the bulk of the people regarding what so recently took place, and is on the whole tolerably cor rect. The account of matters sent up to Court, however, will be widely different from this : " On the first day of the present (4th) moon, during the third watch (Friday, 21st of May, 11 to 1 midnight) the great Generals, Yihshan, Scc.,, ordered the officers and soldiers from every encampment to take fire-rafts, and fire-ships, and attack the rebellious foreigners lying at anchor in the Taiwongkaou (Macao passage.) The bat tle lasted till daylight, during which time several boats belonging to the foreign ships were burned, seven devil's imps (foreigners) were taken alive, several tens of them were killed, and a part of the Company's hong was de stroyed. The gates of the city were kept most strictly shut, and the people ware not allowed to pass out and in. " On the 2d day (Saturday, May 22d), at ten o'clock, the devil's imps embarked on board a fire-ship (Nemesis steamer), and sailed up to Neisheng (near Tsang,poo), whore they made use of fire-arrows (rockets) and great guns, with which they attacked and smashed Neisheng, and burned several tens of carrying vessels. • " On the 3d day (Sunday, May 23) the devils were early off the Fa-tee creek, where they seized and carried offt.uveral passage-boats (these were for the conveyance of the troops): They then commenced a simultaneous attack on the Leipaoutoy, or Shameen fort, the Hoychtt pgiontoy, or Dutch Folly, and along the aide of the river. They used their fire-arr ows , with which they buerred several hundreds of houses, shops, and sheds belonging to the inhabitants on the banks of the river, se the eastern, southern, and western quarters outside the City walls. The fire lasted uninterruptedly for two ditys. " On the sth day of the moon (Tue s d a y, Hay 25) they landed above Neisheng, and marched straight towards the great northern gate, where they attacked and captured the square fort and the round fort ; then directing their course to the small northern gate, they burned an encampment. • • " On the 6th day (Wednesday, 26th of May) ' they attacked and stormed the Tangpaoutoy (French folly), and using their fire-arrows, they burned all the custom houses and chop-houses along the banks of the river. Thus, whether by land or by water, the devil's imp - s took possession of all our stron4• places. Towards even ing the Hong merchants and linguists begged his wor ship, Yu, the Kwangchowfoo, to meet Elliot and treat. for peace. Elliot wanted them to pay the price of the opium, 6,000,000 dollars, and limited seven days, within which the full amount was to be paid when his war-ships should afterwards leave the Bocca Tigris; and he also insisted upon the island' of Hong Kong Just now the great General (Yishan) has consented to the payment of the stipulated sum of 6,000,000; and on the 7th day (Thursday, 27th of May) he delivered 1,000,000 to account. Regarding the questioa of the territorT, we must wait till he has made a due memorial to the Emperor on the subject, and got his commands, when he will be able finally to decide. " Thus, on the Bth day (Friday; 28th of l‘(ay) the city gates were again opened, and people allowed to pass out and in." THE STRIKE or MASONS.—immediately upon the coutractors for the erection of the Nelson Monu ment, Trafalgar-square, and the New Steam. Docks,. Woolwich, receiving information that the masons at both works had " struck," these gentlemen forwarded the whole of the circumstances to the Admiralty. On Satur day morning Messrs. Grissell and Peto received an an swer to their communication, which was to the effect that the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty were, after perusing the communication addressed to them, " perfectly satisfied to leave the matter in their (the contractors') hands; they would not press them in the completion of the work, and would trust to them to use every effort in their power on the occasion. The number of masons at work asi Saturday last was upwards of a hundred, and it is stated to be certain that then, will be atleast 130 masons at work on Monday (this) morn - ing. A number of masons arriving from Scotland on Saturday wore not put to work until they had recruited their strength. They stated that others would leave Scotland a few hours after them for London to obtain employment at the New Houses. The contractors are so confident in their resources for obtaining labour, that they anticipate there will not be wanting one mason at the New Houses of Parliament by the end of the ensuing week. ...__ ARTESIAN WELL AT GRENELLE.--The lowering of the tube is likely to meet with greater diffi- • culties than were at first anticipated. At the moment of executine , this operation, a n obstacle presented itself at a depth of about 300 metres, which has completely hin dered the descent of the tube. This obstacle, of which. M. Mulot can give no account, offers a great resistance, and they have work e d f or e i ght days with a sound of new power without being able to obtain any satisfactory result. Almost the whole of the tubing has had to be taken up again, and must be put clown on a now prin ciple. The water continues to bring up 'ergs quantatioi of sand.—/nvenier's Advocate.
