At a GENERAL MEETING of the PROPRIETORS, held at the Court-room of the Banking-house, No. 8, Moor gate-street, on MoN DAT, the 12th of J uly, 1841, rRFsENT : . . Sir PETER LAURIE, Alderman, Governer in the Chair. ANDREW SPOTTISWoODE, Esq., Depuly Governor:. Dirsr.c.rou.s. George Web-ter, Esq. Archibald Cockburn, Esq. John Barnes, Esq. James Farquhar, Esq. J. W. Sutherland, Esq. Benjamin Boyd, Esq. W. M. Nur,e, Esq. Peter Laurie, Esq. Major-General Robertson. IW. P. Crauford, Esq. Thomas Meux, Esq. John Connell, Esq. And Ninety-five Proprietors. The following Report was read by the Secretary : The Directors have much satisfaction in meeting the Pro prietors for the second time, and laying before them a state ment of the affairs of the Bank for the past year, with the ap• propriation of the profit made during that period, from which it will be seen that after paying all current expenses, and a sum of 551. I Is. ld. fur interest. to cu:tomers on thtir current ard deposit accounts, besides providing for bad debts, and dis 60.1ging a portion of the twelisoi narg x ttqV v Oren,' enahied out. of the net.-pre&- to declare a JiVidoidlaf five Pei. cent. on she paid-up capital of the Company, and to set apart a further sum of 2.0001. to the reserved fund. The Directors' impressed with the impottance, both as re spects se, urity and influence, of a large paid up capital to a Bank engaged in the transaction of extensive business in the metropolis, have since the last meeting trade an additional call of 51. per share. This was most promptly responded to by the Proprietors ; and it will be seen that the paid•up capital now amounts to 422,706/. 'the increase of the business of the Bank has been uniform and stead.ly progressive, anti the Dire-tors anticipate continued prosperity, trusting that the care and prudence with which they hope they have hitherto administered the affairs of the Company, wdl justify and confirm that confidence which the public are now rapidly extending to banking institutions based upon principles of undoubted security. 'the Directors have much pleasure in adverting to the con tinued success which has attended the Branch in Regent-street, which under the zealous and effective management of Mr. Cack, has. become a highly profitable and important establish ment. A favourable opportunity having offered itself for opening a Branch at Charing-cross, the Directors availed themselves of it, by purchasing the premises, No. 4, Pall - ma ll East, latel y occupied by the Metropolitan Bank (which has withdrawn from business), and they have every expectation that it will also be found to be a valuable auxiliary to the Bank, under the man agement of Mr. Wight, a gentleman of high character and great experience in banking. The extent and success of the Company being such as to enable the Directors to meet the convenience of the Proprie tors, by declaring half yearly dividends, it is their intention to pursue that course for the future. The Directors have much pleasure in recording their con tinued approbation of the great zeal and unremitting attention to the interests of the establishment, evinced by Mr. W. W. Scrimgeour, the General Manager. The Directors refer with much satisfaction to the increased number of Shareholders who have opened their accounts with the Bank since the last general meeting ; and they would again urge upon those Proprietors who have not yet . become customers, the importance of doing so, and using their in fluence upon every favourable opportunity for promoting the business of the Bank, by which :hex own interests are con. sulted, and the value of their investments materially increased.

Sir,—l have seen in the Friday last, a letter addressed by you to the Duke of: Ar g. ,--11, with reference to an interview recently had. wit you on the subject of his Grace's Bill, in which: yet4sallude to certain extracts from Scottish newspapers. that 1i94 been sent to you, as containing " very gross misrepresentations - of • sentiments " expressed by yo u a t that meeting. Whether these extracts contained a letter of mine to a private individual, which appeared in the newspapers ; , I of coarse cannot k.low ; but as my letter undoubtedly formed . the groundwork of - the , remarks in the yariom journals on the subject, I think it necessary for me tor, advert to your statement. My account of the sentiments expressed by you, as given in that letter, was, that these ". were in substance, to the effect that no such Bill as the Duke's could be al lowed to pass, and that any settlement must employ pro visions for securing the submission of the Church to. the Civil Courts generally, and in particular . for the , re storation of the deposed ministers of Strathbogio" to , office and benefice. Your statement of the sentiments then expressed by you it, as to these essential points, " that you did not think the House of Lords would consent merely to legislate for the future, if the General Assembly should persist in its claim of authority to de,nos.- ministers of the Church upon this ground, that tcey had obeyed the law," as interpreted by -the civil tri bunals ; that as civil consequences, you • presumed. would follow from such deposition, " the authority the Church over the statute law and civil tribuns' the country would - be . paramount, even in Matters of a civil and teinpUral nature," if such claim were enforced ; and that this claim " woUld greatly diminisia if not altoi gather destroy, any advantage that might. have been hoped forfiom merely praspective legislation, and that .n ~.ea causes of difference;• and new conflicts of authority, not provided for by 'such- legislation, would very asoolot occur." I remark, in .passing, that I have no recollection of your singling out the "House of Lords," as into-posing any special obstacle to legislation ; and I f,iet - certain that you referrati to -,the "Legislature ",e-enerallya but what I chieily wish to notice in regard to your statentrat are these points :- 1. It is obvious, from your own account of the senti ments expressed by yon, that, in your opinion, no mea sure that was " merely prospective" (which the Duke's Bill was) ought to , be 'allowed to pass, or could pass. , ?..Any measure which was. piso retrospective, ,trust necessarily have had for its object the settlement of the past cases, and .especially those of the. Strathbogie rni misters., Then, looking to the terms in which you ex press yourself as to the deposition of , ministers, for what you call " obeying the law,", no one, I think, tan doubt that the only settlement of these cases that would be in accordance with your sentiments must be their re storation ...... 3. It is further evident that you deem some -1 egis— lative provision necessary for securing agriinst " nevc causes of difference, 'and new conflicts of authorit The Duke's Bill proceeded on the assumption, that, by withdrawing the - existing cause of collision, all conflict in future would be avoided. You require some different security. But what different provision for effecting this object in accordance with your owu views, you can contemplate, other than securing 'sub mission by the Church to the Civil Courts, I cannot.: imagine. Even, therefore, according to the exposition - given by yourself of the sentiments expressed by you at the interview, so far from my account being a "'very gross misrepresentation" of these, the substance - PT it seems to me to be contained—though very much diluted—in your own statement. And I the mere readily, therefore, assume that these terms were not ap plied to that account, but to comments that may have been made upon it. Neither" my account, however, nor that , given by you, though more extended than mine, give more than the general result of what took place ; nor in any statement within such confined limits can there be-re lated the full c onversation, and the terms employed. In my conviction of the occaracy of my own impressions, however, I feel myself confirmed by a reconsideratior, so far as I can recal thew to my mind, of the particulars of the interview, some of which I shall now endeavour to recapitulate. The occasion of the interview was a request by the Duke of Argyll to Dr. Buchanan of Glasgow and my self, who were in London, as a deputation from the General Assembly's Non-Intrusion, Committee, that we should have a conference with . you on the subject of his Grace's Bill. His Graee arranged the Meeting'. and Dr. Keith, who happened to he then in toWn, was invited to accompany us, which lie did. The Confer ence commenced by Dr. Buchanan pressing en you. the importance of the Duke's Bill being passed into a law. You stated, that the Legislature could not be expected to pass such a Bill, for reasons which yOu at once proceeded to mention ; nit, however,: qualifying, your statement by the considerations mentioned in . your letter as to the period of the session, &c. ; for, although remarks were made as to this rin , :ttcr, they were made at the conclusion of the interview, and with reference to an observation of the Duke's as to his intention ewith drawile.; his Bill, and the proper time for reintroducing it. Your olfvetions were, that „ the Bill, on the is hand, did not provide for time settlethent of paste ii,. particularly those of the Strathbogie miniSterS-; , 7 and, on the other hand, that it did not secure against the recurrence of similar cases in future, or against other conflicts that 'might arise from new and diarent causes of collision, which you seamed, to appruht_l:l, ;1 1e4ough we failed in our attempts .to ascertain from you!what you deemed most likely to be. A good deal of conversation ensaed on these points, the whole tenour of which tended to impress the. deputation with the conviction that it was your opinion that no measure could pass, or ought to pass, which did not, on the other hand, settle the Strathbogio cases by the restoration. of the • deposed ministers, and did not provide against the recurrence of similar cases of new conflicts in future, by securing the submission of the Church to the Civil Courts. Of this impression on our part you were made aware at the time, but you gave us no hint that we had misap prehended yon. With reference to the restoration of the Strathhogie ministers, I stated that if it were confined to the bene fices, very little objection comparatively would be made to this in Scotland, the Church being always most ready to submit implicitly to the disposal of her temporalities by the civic authorities ; but that the attempted en forcement of a recognition of these parties as ministers of the gospel, would be treated by her with utter and absolute disregard. You did not, however, on this ex plain that I had misunderstood you, but left me under the impression which I then had, and which I carried. with me. Again, Dr. Keith and Dr. Buchanan evinced their understanding of your views as to the provisions re quired in any measure to be passed, by pressing on you, not in a mere remark " made in the course of conversation," but in an earnest and anxious repre sentation, commenced by Dr. Buchanan, continued by Dr. Keith, and again resumed by Dr. Buchanan ; the consideration that these views, if acted upon, would lead to a separation of the Church from the State, or at least would drive a large body of the clergy out of it, and this not as a result that " might ultimately, but as one th a t,,i n t h e i r op i n i on, wou ld certa i n ly happen; and your r e ply being to th e e ff ect t h at leg i slat i on must proceed on necessarily confirmed their impression , general principles, and not with a view to conjectural possible co n ti ngenc i es.

This WOrk, - a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have bem exhausted since its tint appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general prineiplei, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting, cases. The book, as has been already *tweet, is tin result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which,-for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overloAed, or treated almost with ind.ffer . encei by the military medical practitioner. The proverina and well known rapacity of unqualitle.l practitioLers, 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_perniciens e;e47ts 4 4i 0 , - „,*s-,/.... 3 - osis is f rom , iNo praesierrtr - CaTC PF:7Fnders, The authors' have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the neceesity of so doing, they were further conv'need by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many disease;, which arise from certain secret praetices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medica: practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumptioe, 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 no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not b?, found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved chi'd pining away, and fast approaching to a premature 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 th's 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, tapes, &c., the sole and. exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth 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 are 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 d s estrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished.

TRADING AND LANDED INTERESTS.— It is alamentable fact, but it is true, that the friends to the bread tax act more cordially together in the agricul tural district than the enemies of that tax act in the manu facturing districts, as the returns at the present West Riding election sufficiently show. The bread eaters are inadequately represented in Parliament, while the corn growers in that assembly outnumber the manufac turers and merchants in the proportion of ten to one. No wonder if, in such a state of things, the people of England should be condemned for many years to come, to cat dear bread—to endure the in?.ictions of monopoly—to see their trade and manufactures pass to other nations, and their workpeople suffer under the troubles incident to an increasing deficiency of labour. All this ,might have been reversed if the ma nufacturing and commercial interests had supported their friends as unitedly as the bread taxers have sup ported theirs. It is impossible to hear a shout in a ma nufacturing town over a Tory triumph at an election without exclaiming .‘ they know not what they do." The returns show that the 'Tory majority in the agricultural districts amounts in round numbers to 3,000 ; and the majority. for the Liberal candidates in the trading dis tricts to 2,000, Though there are nearly twice as many voters in the trading as in the limning districts, the lat ter adhere to their monopoly fir keeping up the price of grain, and act with more union than the former for securing the advantages of cheap food and better em ployment.—Leeds Mercury. CRIMINAL OFFENDERS.—We extract the following statistical information relative to criminal offenders, &c., from a return moved for in the last Par liament •by Mr. Joseph Hume. From this return it ap pears that the total number of persons committed for trial for various offences, both against person and pro perty, in England and Wales, amounted in 1838 to 23,094—0 f whom 16,785 were convicted ; in 1839 to 24,443—0 f whom 17,832 were convicted ; and in 1840 to 27,187—0 f whom 19,927 were convicted. The number of persons committed for trial in Scotland in 1838 amounted to 3,418—0 f whom 2,679 were convicted and outlawed ; in 1839 to 3,409—0 f whom 2,615 were con victed and outlawed ; and in 1840 to 3,872—0 f whom 2,945 were convicted and outlawed. • In Ireland the number of committals amounted in 1838 to 17,723-of whom 9,609 were convicted ; in 1839 to 26,392—0 f whom 12,049 were convicted ; and in 1840 to 23,822—0 f whom 11,194 were convicted. [ADVERTISEMENT.] The attention of our readers is directed to the following communication, addressed to Messrs. Rowland and Son, 20, Hatton-garden, London Leicester, April 6; 1839.

CHRONICLE.—The rejection of Lord Howick for N; rths umberland is a remeikable feature in the present contest. The words h d hardly fallen from Sir Robert Peel's lips, in which he declared that the sole object of his Embition for the last ten years hail been to obliterate old party distinctions and re. rup a solid bulwark against democratic innovation, before a rancorous and determined personal cpposition is got. up -gainst a Conservative Whig whose attachment to the ancient institutions of the country is as undoubted as that of Sir R. Peel himself. Lord. Howick stood exactly in the position in which, if there had been one word of sincerity in the Tani worth flourishes. his return to Parliament ought to have been looked upon as a gain to the Conssrvative party If the Tories really believed that the ancient institutions of the country were in danger, and it their object really was to press rve these institutions from the inroads of democruic innovation, is it con ceivable that they would declare open war with a man of Lord Howiek's talents and influence, whose abhorrence of every thing that savoured, however remotely, of Radicalism had been tested by the resignation of office, and by votes given at a most critical periodagainst his connections and party. But if the object really is the possession of place and power, and the professions about apprehended danger t o the iostitu tions of the country are mere humbug, then the conduct of the Tories towards Lord Howick becomes perfectly explicable. It is . quite consistent with party motives, though not with prin ciple, that the conscientious Conservative who refuse to go the whole hog, and vote upon every question at the beck and bidding of a Tory whipper-in, should be the ob ject of inveterate hostility, while the revolutionary Chartist or Republican, who plays the game of the Tory candidate, arid abuses the Whigs, is courted and caressed. It is a pro•titut ion of the name 'at " Conservative " to apply it to a party who have adopted such means as the Tories to get a majority. They have got it, but how' By exciting expecta tions about the Poor-laws which they well know can never be realised, but which, nevertheless, will rankle in the minds of the labouring classes, and sow the seeds of wide-spread discon tent, by appealing to religious prejudices and widening the breach between Catholic and Protestant, between Dissenter and Churchman, by spreading unfounded alarms about the Corn-laws, and arraying the landing and manufacturing in terests in arms against each other, and, finally, by unmuzzling the Orange blood-hound, and letting loose all the worst passions of a malignant faction to wreak their vengeance on unhappy Ireland, and undo the good that has been effected by five years of impartial government. It we looked merely as rartisans, we shelf(' rejoice in the tem porary- triumph of the Tories, for .we aecsfully convinced that it will in she long run accelerate the progress of It form. We are convinced that the total repeal of the Corn-laws is much nearer than if the compromise offered by Ministers had been accepted by the landed interest. av e are convinced th a t th e practical proof which will shortly be given of the imeossibility of conducting the Government of the country upon the prin ciples of monopoly, will be the fiist thing to r rally an over whelming majority in favour of f re e-trade. We e a -e convinced that the p tssession of power will be the first thing to demon strate the inanity of Peel's po m p ous plausibilites , the disror dant elements of wriieli his p ar ty is composed, and the irre claimable perversity of genuin e Toryism. MORNING POST.---Lord Howick, who un til now was so unfortunate as to ple a s e no b o dy b u t himself, has suddenly found out the way to please every body but himself. Ile has contrived to get beaten out of the representation of the county of Northumberland, an even t • w hi c h a ppears to give u unanimous satisfaction. Even th e y w h o on party grounds think them fax, selves bound to put forth a f a i n t un d er -growl upon the occasion, can occason, can scarcely keep down a sm il e o f sa tisfaction while pretend ing to be vexed. If th ere b e an y m an who really feels at a. loss upon the occasion, it i s M r . W oo d, the Member for Halt of Commons without L or. l H ow i c k a t his who will find it alm os t as i mposs ible to speak in the House side, as the orator mentioned in the Spectator did when he lost the pack-thread by which he was acctutorns d to twist round his thumb during the overflow of his eloquence. By degrees,however, Mr. Wood may get t id of this embarrassment, and feel as satisfied as the reef of the public that Lord Howick is relieved from represen tative cares. HE 4,1 LD.—As we anticipated in our leading article or yesterday, the city of Dublin has th.ust Mr. Daniel O'Connell net of his long usurped reprercntation. The " Member for al Ireland" who but last year was giving boroughs and coun ties away to his satellites—before who n good men retired in disgust at the scandalous execs es to which he pushed his fac tious " ag tation," and timid men seccumbed because their political courage in action was not commensurate with their moral rectitude of purpose—this burly demagogue is pu-bed from his seat. The c iti zen e l ec t o r s of Dublin have had enough of him. All th• canting, wheedling promises he has made to them of the inconceivable glory and splendour to which their metropolis must immediately attain, when, through electing him, the " baleful union" (as Joseph, the hottest and the loyal, would say, in Canada or Connaught) when the baleful union with England should be repealed, and a Parliament be again sittirg on the College-green ;"—all these they have given to the wind'. They thoroughly under stand the tortuou., treacherous election-broker who let in poor Mr. Raphael, on a pretence of letting out the county . of Car low ! '1 he bustling, ancient gentleman, who, but a few short weeks ago, edified the Irish public by inform ng them that one of his name and kin would be returned by a certain constituency,—which he named,—and that his youngest son would lead the contest in Athlone against the Beres ford interest, is unable to retail), his own footing in the Irish capital, and is driven limping, from the hustings with small chance of ever returning thither a successful candidate for the suffrages of his brother electors ! Two youngest son, who was appointed to conduct the contest for Athlone has now the more appropriate task to effect of making good his retreat out of the county of Westmeath. The father finds that the Dublin people are too cold upon him, and therefore is obliged to avail himself of the " warming-pan " good offices of Meath. The son, who was to have carried Athlone by storm, has only the mournful satisfaction of storming the men of Athlone for not carrying his election. What has become of the other scion of the modern " Grncchi," we cannot imme diately remember. But it is pretty evident that the event we have for some m nths past predicted, as being about to hap pen, is now on the very cri.is of its fulfilment. The spell which bound to the personal interests, to the selfish and mis chievous ambition of O'Connell a very large and important portion of the Irish people—is broken. All the medd'ing, restless activity of the lower class of the Irish Roman Catholic priesthood,—all their custoonti y and reckless resort to the most palpable means of moral and physical intimidation will, pre sently, have availed them —nothing ! . - MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. • FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. • CIIRONICLE..•-.-The same heaviness which we have already observed pervaded the Railway Share Market, and in the Brighton and Great Western Railway Shares a marked altera • Lion for the - worse took place, the former giving way about 15s. per share, and the latter nearly 2/. per share. We believe that some disappointment prevails amongst the dealers and spe culators in the Great Western Company's Shares, at not being informed as to the results (in money) of the late working of this line, and the circumstance of tie Directors having made a secret of these results leads people to infer that they have not .quite answered the high expectations formed of this "splendid" line. Though we are not of the number of those who expect that the profuse expenditure of capital which has been laid out on this line will meet with an ariequate.return, we must say that the first fortnight's workings of a line forma. very ins - ufficient criterion by which to judge of its merits. .TIMES.---The high duty levied on cinnamon exported filim:Ceylim. has long been a matter of complaint, both with the prbducor there and the trade here , and Government !eateu.

However, it is intimated that in the meautima the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury with the view to the further consideration of the question, have requested from - Au Board of Trade any more specific information which it may bi practie,ble to obtain relative to the quantities and qualitie produced in an exported from Java ant: alalabir. Whi , e on the suhj'et of the alter-lion of duties, it may. b• mentione.!, that the last aidees from Ceylon state, that the Chamb...r of Commerce had been apprised that an Order in Council was being prepared to authorise the adwission of the produce and manufactures of British India to Ceylon at tilt same rate, of duty as those at present levied on the produce and manufactures of Great Britain. Whether this alteration would include rice and paddy was tit t ful y known ; but it was ,aid that the Ceylon Government were prepared to lower the import duty on grain, in consideration of the East India Com pany allowing cotton to be exported to Ceylon duty free, - if in tended to be shipped thence to Great Britain. This change would affect the importation of British piece goods, as native gray cloths, &c., placed on an equal footing, could. it was said, compete with those of British manufacture, whlle thi native consumers ,would also proportion:ll3ly benefit. Th.- planting interest would derive considerable benefit from a re duction-of the duty up n grain, as it would materially diminish the price of labour. POST.—The Funds have left off under considerable depres sion this evening in both Markets. They were, indeed, heavy the whole of the day, a state of affairs more pat ticelarly appa • rent in die Foreign House even than in the English; although the change was understood to be attibutable to circumstances c , tnnected exclusively with - the domestic concerns of the eouns try. It was very generally repotted that some other banking est al;islimenis were about to follow the example of Messrs. Ladbroke and Co., by proceeding to the liquidation of the t outstanding engagements, with a view to an immediate wilidrawal from business. This, nu doubt; had a partial effee', but it was further stated, ' though 'in a mysterious ambiguous mannor, that . some adjitional cases of failure might be anticipated, as the consequences of those which have already occurred within the last week or ten days. The chief impression made upon the quotadons was, hosterer, we think we may confidently assert, by the news that oh ained very active eirculaaion in the -course of the morning, of some serious and desperate outrages having taken place in Ireland Ail was conjecture up to the close of the markets, but sinister rumours and whisperings, it is to be observed, have often a more unfavourable operation than a knowledge of the truth. so that it is at the same time a knowledge of the worst. It was under the aspects here described that the different securi ties were finally quoted, and the dealers at the Stock Exchange, as well as the frequenters of the City generally, evinced much anxiety to ascertain the issue, such as may probably be brought to light by the disclosures of the next day or two. SUN.—There is less buoyancy in the Steck Market, and although the transactions were not considerable, tht parcels of Stock offered did not go off freely, unless at a slight per centage in favour of the buyer. It is difficult to assign any further reason for the symptoms of heavi ness to-day, than that of the preparations for the settle ment during the present week. For Money, Consols were marked-89i to - 891; and for time, 89i• to 89k. The premium on Exchequer Bills was 15s. to 16s. ; the Re duced Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Annuities brought 994 to s ; the Three per Cents. were at 891- to Bank Stuck was at 1691 to 170, and East India Stock at 249, being an advance on each. "The prospect for the crops is now beginning to be watched with some anxiety by stockholders and jobbers, owing to the unfavourable state of the weather. Some of the speculators would fain depress the market by attaching undue importance to failures, of which two were reported to-day. They were of no moment. As to Foreign Stocks, after what has been said in so many of our previous reports, it will surprise no one when we state that they are again lower. The same re mark will apply, we regret to state, to a much more bona fide species of investment—we allude to British Railway Shares. The NeW Five per Cent Portuguese Stock was at 301 to 30, being a decline of a half to i f per cent. Spanish Active. Bonds were at a reduction from 21 to 21, to 20i and 20 : 1 ; Mexican dropped to 25 ; and Colombian to 194. Brazilian were still at 67-4, and Chilian at 60. French Three per Cents. were at 76f. 25c., and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 51 to 504. It is thought that sales, even to a moderate ex tent, would, in the present state of the Foreign Market, lead to a serious fall, whatever Stock they might be at-, tempted in ; but no one bangs the market at present.' The Great : Western Railway Shares were 22 to 191 ; the New, 91 to 8:1 ; the Fifths, 57 ; the South .Western, 15 to 15i ; and the York. and North Midland 25 prem. Brighton were 6i- to ; Blackwall, 10 to 11 ; Croydon. ; North Midland, 324 ; Eastern Counties, 15 ; arid Bir mingham and Derby 40 dis. Australian Agricultural Shares were 101 premium. There was nothing done in the banks. .- THE WEST-RIDING DEFEAT. The defeat of the Whigs in the West-Riding Of York shire, is the severest blow that they have yet received. For the first time since the passing of the Reform Bill, the great manufacturing district of . Yorkshire, with the largest constituency in Britain, has returned two Tories to Parliament. This, too, at a time when the Whig Ministers have " thrown themselves upon the country," holding forth triasures of relief for trade and Wm ineree, yyould. be utterly unaccountable but for the fact that those Ministers have long since ceased to pOssess the confidence of either the Reform Bill constituency or the people at large. The Whigs have let down public opinion ; they have distrusted the people, and refused them help at the time they had it.in their power to give it ; and now the people distrust them, and refuse them help in their time of need. It is now too late to cry Pcectivi! their lamentations call forth no pity from dm bp-stand: is ; like old sinners, their professions o f a nendment and reformation are, treated with a, listless indifference approaching to contempt. At no election which has taken place in Yorkshire for very many years, has the enthusiasm in favour of Liberal . candidates been less than, during the last election. The electors havefelt,it to be up-hill work with them, while the Tories have had all the stimulus of success on their side. The county has not keen halfcanvaised by the Li beral Committees; the Tories haVe never been idle du ring the last _four years. The Whigs have been losing on the registration, owing,to the general indifference of the people to mere Whig and Tory political contests; .the tortes have been creating fictitious votes by the hundred, till they have obtained an immense preponderance on the roll of electors. Hence the Tories have triumphed, and the Whigs been beaten as they never were before. All this will do.good. It will teach the Whigs several useful and important lessons, which they have been far too slow to learn. It will lead to a powerful reaction at all early period, and most probably give a steady impulse to sound Radical principles. When the next election comes round, and public opinion has ripened on the sub ject of free trade, we predict that the result will be very different —Leeds Times. BUCKINGHAMSHIRE ELECTION. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The contest in this " pattern" county has ended, as was expected, in the triumph of the Conservatives. Buck inghamshire has always been a pet of the Tories. It is a county in which Tory domination has arrived at its highest point of perfection ; it is a county in which the constituency have been so drilled into subserviency to the squirearchy and the clergy, and have become so accus tomed to do just as they are bid, that they would no more think of exercising their suffrage; according to their unbiassed opinion than they would think of sub scribing a sum of money to establish a railroad to the moon. Talk of the serfdom of Russia, indeed ; it is nothing compared to the domination which the landlords of Bucks exercise over the not over-enlightened te nantry. The farmers on the estates of the Duke of Buckingham would not, dare not, vote for any can didate of whom his Grace does not approve. 'They, poor slaves are under the control of his Grace's steward, and are driven to the poll to record their votes for the candi date who basks in the sunshine of the smiles of the head of the house of Stowe. Let one of them dare to vote for a " Liberal" candidate, and ejection from his farm and utter ruin is the least that he can expect. Happy, in deed, he may think himself; in living; in a country in which even such a man as the Duke of Buckingham is not allowed to bowstring a refractory tenant ; or he may be assured that if he ventured to vote for a liberal candi date after the decree was issued, that his life. would pay the penalty of the transgression. Nor, to do .the Duke of Buckingham justice, does he stand alone in his manner of treating his tenantry. Every small squire, and every petty parson, f6114.)W5; to the best of his little utmost, the exam ple of the great man. The larger landowners do so like wise. The Countsss of Bridgewater, for instance, has her tenants in stricter Control, if stricter control be possible, than the great himself. That very respectable, but very twaddling.old lady, is an inveterate Tory, and, of course,: as a Tory, she takeS very good care to do " What she likes with her, own." Under the immediate superintendence of the steward, or bailiff, on the Countess's estates, her tenants are made to vote white to be black, or black to be white, just as her Ladyship may be pleased to take into her sapient head to direct. This steward has rendered himself peculiarly ob • noxious to every one in his immediate neighbourhood, on account of the sway that his well-meaning, but weak thinded.mistress, alloe-s bins to exercise over her tenantry. At the last election he rode at the head of the Countess's tenants into Aylesbury, and stood by whilst he saw every one of them record his vote for the three Tory candidates. Had one ef these tenants voted differently he would, probably, at the earliest opportunity have been deprived of his farm. " What could I do, Sir ?" said one poor fellow to the writer of this article ; " I should have I liked to have voted for Dr. Lee, to whom I owe a deep debt of gratitude for many services he has ren dered: me ; but if I had, they would have turned me, I my wift!, and little ones, from the farm we occupy, and from which alone we gain oar (hill bread." A n d t h en With a curse " nut lou d, but deep , " the poor fellow re corded his vote for the three Tory candidates. This cir cumstance will show how Buckinghamshire always con trives to return Tories to Parlia men t. I t w ill , at the sametime, exhibit the true character of Toryism ; and unless we are much mistaken it will excite disgust in every rightly constituted mind. To victories gained by such agency and such means as the victory in Buckinghamshire, are heartily welcome. The Whigs, we hop e , the uries .1611 T h ave none of them.

PRICE 5d RIBERY AND CORRUPTION AT L BEDS. Never, ,we believe, has so much of vice been crowded auto so short a period, in the borough of Leeds, as at the recent borough election. The number of foul and legradik,i influences which were brought into operation, xere, we believe, perfectly unprecedented by anything _hat has ever occurred in Leeds before. Bribery, in all ,ts • Protean shapes—often in its. own naked. and hideous villanv, an undisguised attempt to barter con science, and often thinly veiled beneath the tran sparent pretence of bargaining—has prevailed to .a unexampled extent. Intimidation, whether of vaster over workmen, of landlord over tenant, or customer over shopkeeper, has been unhesitatingly •xerted. Never have the thousand influences whibh ;how how much in society, as at present orgonized, me man is the helpless and pitiable slave of another, `teen more palpably and •disgustingly displayed. Where :hese could not be successfully employed, every kind tf trick, deception, • and fraud, boundless lying -and 'iarefaced calumny, were . unscrupulously resorted to. t is shocking to contemplate the demoralization that must have been produced by this , pandering to the -worst vices •of the population. It is quite im iossible to trace the various channels through which • iribery - and - corruption have- •rcached the -consciences -if men,. or intimidation been brought to bear. Debtors have been relieved from gaols, and the debts paid-at an ,:normous • expense, -as the price of their votes. Sick .nen have been dragged from their beds -to the Tolling moths by doctors, who had preViou4 pronounced that to leave' .. their beds was- to hazard their lives ;.and return ing officers have gone to the back doors of polling booths to meet such men. Tenants have been distrained, and Norkmen thrown out of employment, with an utter reek ,tssness of the heart-rending . misery that must be the otisequence, for the avowed reason, that they voted againSWlte..wishes of their landlortLor their employers. Voriis OFFERED ix THE MARKET.—A man of the name of Benjamin Binns, a hay-dealer on Quarry-hill, who has always before voted for the Liberal candidates, an the last occasion offered his vote to the Liberals if they would give him 51. This was refused, and he voted for Beckett and Jocelyn. Of course he got his price from the Blues—the result plainly enough proves that ; but it is impossible, of course, to say how .nuch that price was, and by whom it was paid. We ;:now, howevar, from the statement of the man him self, that the Blues offered to find him the floor boards for a house that he is building, which he declined, not considering it sufficient. The following is another case of a voter seeking a bribe :—A man of the name of Cox, a pill-doctor, living in York-street, sent up to the . Liberal Central Committee for 101. He has always be fore voted for the Liberal candidates. The money was of course refused, and he voted for Beckett and Jocelyn. There can be no doubt that a bribe was both offered and accepted in this case, but as in almost all cases of suc cessful attempts of bribery, it is impossible to penetrate the veil in which both the parties to the bargain are anxious to envelope the villany they have committed. Another voter, who was bad in his rent, also distinctly and openly offered his vote for 101. It was refused, and he also voted for the Tories.—Leeds Times. TIIE LATE SIR BENJAMIN STEPHENSON, G.C.H., SOMETIME SU RVEYOR- GENERAL OF THE BOARD OF WORRS, AND LATE ONE OF THE COMMISSIONERS OF WOODS AND FORESTS. (From the British Queen.) _ • _ Sir Benjamin. Stephenson, in his early days, was an officer in a foreign service, and was first publicly known in England as Colonel Stephenson, right-hand-man and Master of the Household to Queen Charlotte, whose good graces and patronage he acquired and maintained by the two cardinal virtues in her eyes, of taking snuff and stinginess. His most laborious duties were performed at Windsor, during the custody of George the Third by his amiable consort ; and so well did he strive to gain, the favour of his loyal Mistress, that it was a common saying in the household, the worthy Colonel " was never content unless he extracted three legs from a duck." In fact, to enlarge the well-paid privy purse of his mistress, there was nothing too small in the expenditure of the Castle that could escape his vigilant eye. For years he might be considered the King of Windsor, and his power at Court was immense, so much so that the records of the time will show, that when on the evening that the lamented Princess Charlotte quitted Buckingham Palace to be united to Prince Leopold at Carlton house, she was conducted from. the drawing-room to • the carriage, following her Royal grandmother, by Colonel Stephenson. Stephenson was always allowed to be a brave officer, and as vigilance is said to be a necessary qualification to curry out a good general's plans, perhaps no man ever looked farther. - Age crept upon the Queen, and, as is always the case about the Court, some good place must be , found or made to provide for a faithful servant when patronage ceases. 'Wyatt-- James Wyatt—the great_ . Wysttke..-oSlOSAiorc,cieneral of the hoard of Works, ilepOted this, life,. and a regeneration of . that department was made by Par liament, under the auspices of - those eminent statesmen, the . - Earl of Liverpool and. Nick Van.' sittart, - now Lord _Bexley, and the salary enjoyed try poor Wyatt of tinol. per annum, was, ..by Act of Parliament. raised to future Surveyors-General to 1,500/. There were three candidates for the office of the Head of the Architects of England ; Smirke, who was pr:vately employed by Lord Liverpool, old Soane, who fancied himself the greatest architect in the world, and whose only claim to such was spoiling all the good and clever work of Sir Robert Taylor at the Bank of England, and our worthy Colonel ; and such was the overwhelming interest of the Queen, that Col. Stephenson, after the office had been kept in abey ance twelve months, in consequence of the intrigues of the three candidates,. was appointed. A Colonel in a fo reign service, whose whole duties at Windsor and Lon don, had been the regulating and examining the kitchen department, appointed, at three times the salary, to succeed James Wyatt ! In accordance with our opening, let us here thrown in a few anecdotes of Wyatt. Wyatt, perhaps, take him " all in all," was as emi nent an architect as ever lived. There is scarcely a nobleman's seat in the country, that does not carry the mark of his hand, and the Universities also' testify his abilities. Notwithstanding the immense sums that passed through Wyatt's hands, his natural indolence, and love of women and gaming, caused him to die in great distress : but such was his power of conversation, his sweetness of temper, and . gentlemanly manners, that he was universally beloved. He was a great favourite with George the Third and Queen Charlotte, and when his Majesty was building the palace at Kew, which Wyatt superintended, he was frequently the only guest of their Majesties of an afternoon, who admitted him to unre served conversation. To show the natural indolence of Wyatt, the following anecdote is told :-He was profes sionally engaged in some distant part of the country, and some works at Windsor Castle were stopped for his, directions, and the King having learned the cause, di rected the clerk of the works to proceed express to ' Wyatt, and to command the instant attendance, at Wind • sor, of his Surveyor-General. Mr. Matthews. the clerk of the works, who had been appointed by Wyatt, and of whom he had a very high opinion, proceeded as fast as four horses could take him to Wyatt, and having kept . the horses as relays back, conveyed to him his Majesty's commands. Wyatt, instantly, with Matthews, started' for Windsor, and in due course arrived within about' three stages, when during the changing of horses, he entered the inn for the purpose of getting some refresh. ment. It should here be remarked, that as some people. have a deadly antipathy to some things from their birth, so Wyatt had as equal a longing for, and enjoyment of, a pork-ehop ; and having espied a most delicious loin hanging in the larder, directed that a couple should be got ready immediately. When Matthews announced c i e la d ll7 t i h nig e t horse ready, he was met by the reply they must until he had finished the pork-chops o done, and further met with some good sherry, he, as was his custom, took a nap, Matth ews , impatient, went into the room, awoke the Surveyor-G eneral, and pl eaded his Majesty's displeasure for their immediate departur e- It Nm was of no use. " Matthews," says Wyatt pork chops were the best I ever ta s t e d ; the'' "those vd I have ordered the loin to reserved fore mgyosodelf: andi an from hence do nut sti r unt il I have finished it." Ile kept his word and the King waiting, for f he did h T)t arrive in Windsor until the enjoy ment,ensuing of his two fi rs t chops, and having having finished rom is the loin. In corroborati on of this anecdote, the King and Queen, one. Sunday e ven i 11 • wa..img on the terrace at Windsor, in conver s • - ation with the Earl of PeMbroke, whose seat of Wilton Wyatt was embellishing, and with whom he was an especial favo ur it e , hi s M a j es ty observed, " Pembroke ! Pembroke ! her Ma'e,commanded my j sty Surveyor-General yesterday to attend her at three o'clock. What time —what time do you think he came 2" Lord Pembroke ventured to reply, to screen his friend, that " probably Wyatt's numerous engagements might compel him, very reluctantly, to disobey her Majesty by being half an .hour after his time." " Why," said the King, smiling, " he never came at all ; he never came at all." • ' DECKETT'S Notes."—The election just over has been one of the dearest elections for the Tories, that has ever taken place in Leeds. From facts within our knowledge, we are convinced that it cannot have costa farthing less than 4,0001. The number_ of notes from Beckett's bank at present flying about I.eeds , is, we believe, quite unprecedented. Numbers of the poorer classes of voters have, during the last few days, been pay ing up long arrears of rent in "Beckett's notes," also long-standing accounts in " Beckett's notes ;" and many are now living as they never lived before, and all upon " Beckett's notes." It is quite possible that Mr. Wil liam Beckett may have paid a great deal more for the honour of representing_ Leeds. than it is really worth. As it is, we have ver - strong suspicions that he has gone into Parliament with . filthy hands.—Leeds Times. On Saturday Morning last, as Mr. James Groves, a market gardener f rom Pinvin, was p roceedin g down Red-hill, on the L indon-roul, with a cart load of vegetables and fruit, the bark chain broke, which caused the shafts of the cart to fall considerably, and the horse took fright and started off at full speed towards Worcester, which threw poor Groves from the fore part of the cart where he was sitting. It appears he held by the cart for two or three seconds, when he was seen to fall head first, and, the wheel passing over his head, he died instantly. An inquest was hi ld on the-body the same day at the Carpenter's Arms, • and a verdict of " Accidental Death' r eturned. , Groves was a very steady man,thirtypei ght yearsof a ge, and has left a - We and - Gll6 child.
