At a GENERAL MEETING of the Shareholders, held at The Loudon Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, on TUESDAY, the Bth July, 1856, PRESENT, Sir JOHN VILLIERS SHELLEY, Bart., M.P., in the Chair. JOHN GRIFFITH FRITH, Esq., Vice-Chairman. • John Edmund Anderdon,Esq. Charles Joyce, Esq. Col. Win. Elsey, H.E.I.C.S, I Thomas Luce, Esq., M.P. Thomas Gooch, Esq. Henry Morris, Esq. Jeremiah Greaterex, Esq. Sir Henry Muggeridge, Al- Alex. Constantine lonides, derman. • Esq. Alfred Wilson, Esq. And upwards of two hundred proprietors. After authentication of the Register of Shareholders, by affixing the common seal of the Company, the following Re. port was read by the Secretary : " The Charter of Incorporation granted to the Batik pro 'sides that the accounts be made up to the 30th of June and the 31st of December in each year. The Bank having coin ' Menced business on the 22d of August, 1855, the first set tlement of the accounts took place on the 31st of December • in that year, but the time which had then elapsed since the opening was too brief to render it desirable to call the pro prietary together at that period. " Ten months have now passed since the commencement of business, and the Directors have the pleasure of meeting t the shareholders to present their first report, with a state ment of accounts to the 30th of June, 1856. " The-progress which the Bank has made in the acquisi tion of business has been most satisfactory, whether it be con sidered in reference to the amount of that business, or its steady and continued increase to the present time. On the 31st of December, 1855 (i. e., after four months' trading), the amount due by the Bank on current and other accounts Was 611,9481. 10s. 10d. ; three months later, viz., on the 314 of March, 1856, the amount stood at 956,908/. 3s. Bd., whilst on the 30th of June, 1856, it amounted to 1,401,259/. 12i. 10d. " The accounts now presented to the shareholders show that, after payment to customers of a sum of 19,586/. 2s ld. • for interest allowed on their balances, there remains a sum to be carried to profit and loss' of 37,4171. 15s. 7d. The ap Propriation of this amount has received the attentive consi deration of the Directors. "By the charter of incorporation they are required to form a reserve et guarantee fund, to guard against contingencies, and• are empowered, if they shall see fit, to abstain from de daring any dividend for the first year, and to carry all the Profits to the reserve fund. Looking, however, to the satis factory commencement which has been made, the Directors feel it is not necessary to resort to the precaution of reserving the whole of the first year's profits; at the same time they VAt desire to act with all due caution in making the present ap t e Propriation ; and after mature d e lib era ti on th ey h ave arrived at the following conclusions, which they h ave th e sa ti s f ac ti on to announce to the sharehol +ers. -• Pit "It has been resolved that out of the sum of 37,417155. 7d. carried to profit and loss account, there be appropriated the sum of 6,7201. 12s 7d for current expenses, income tax, and forbad and doubtful debts; that 6,2651. 12s, sd. be carried to profit and loss new account, as rebate of interest on bills discounted not yet due; that 1,0001. be applied towards writing off preliminary and building expenses; that out of the sum remaining there be now paid a dividend after the rate of 51. per cent per annum (free of income tax) from the date of the commencement of business ; that 8,000/. be ap k., • Pued as the basis of a reserve fund, and that the balance, 0 2,58 81. les. I'd., be carried forward to account of next half ' " The Charter also requires that the auditors now to be elected by the proprietors shall be allowed 28 days for the performance of their duties, and an adjournment of the meet kg will consequently be necessary. As it will be obviously convenient that in future years the audit of the accounts should precede the declaration of a dividend, a resolution will be submitted to the meeting for their approval, enabling the Directors to call the Annual General Meeting at some period between the Ist and 15th August in each year, by which Means the accounts to the 30th June annually may be pre sented to the shareholders; duly certified by the auditors; such an arrangement is impracticable on this occasion, in consequence of the provisioni of the Charter requiring the first meeting to be held before the 10th July, 1856. "The three Directors who will retire in compliance with t he Provisions of the Banking Act will ba Jeremiah Greato t,". Esq., Charles Joyce, Esq., and Henry Morris, Esq. ; as, h owever, an adjournment of the meeting is necessary for the Purpose previously stated, it is not proposed that such retire leent shall take effect until the adjourned meeting. "It is-the intention of the Directors is future to declare a dividend half-yearly, provided the profits of the Bank shall justify them in so doing, the final appropriation of the year's Profits being declared after the 30th June, in each year. "It is gratifying to the Directors to ackn ow l e d ge th e ac tive and v er y benecial co-operation of the shareholders in the acquirement of business, and the Directors, relying upon such continued exertions, assure the proprietors- that their best e nergies shall )30 devoted to making a safe and profitable use of the resources of the Bank.

STAMPED 5D • politics, and the political prospects of-the two par ties have been reversed with nnnsual rapidity. The election of an Abolitionist to the Speakership of the Representatives, last winter, showed a portentous change in the 'mind of that department of Congress; and the condition of Kansas since, and latterly the, countenance given, by the South to the assault ion freedom of debate in the Senate, have stimulated the Northern States, which have. all the real poWer in their own hands, if th e y c h oo i e t o exert it, to oppose a policy of insult and injury to other na tions, for the sake of getting more easily through domestic difficulties. The Northern States appear at present to intend to elect Colonel Fremont. For some time it was, doubtful whether they wotld prefer the now Speaker Beaks or Fremont ; but their decision bn behalf of Fremont appears to be wise, for the obvious reasons that ho has already manifested his distinctive character, and has the qualification of deeds achieved ; that he is a South ern bred, whereas Mr. Banks is from -Massachu setts ; and that his political convictions are not the result of local influences, but of extensive travel, observation, and experience. Mr. Banks's char 4c ter is high, axed his views thoroughly republica4 ; but he is a comparatively unknown man, and may, and no doubt will, be content to earn the further political distinction which . may be in reserve for him. One party has • nominated him, but it is a small and clearly ephemeral party, and i r will no doubt decline the nomination, and assistan Calorie] Fremont's election. The_new -and remarkable fervour manifested on this occasion is all the more enjoyed on the spot for its decidedly betokening a rise in public sentiment a stronger courage and greater purity than for many a long year. No doubt there will be some disappointment hereafter to men who are se sanguine as to expect that the election of an Anti- Slavery President will restore the virtues and the liberties of the Republic ; but the will aud resolu tion to try the experiment is a great advance upon the practice of electing obscure and untried men, for the purpose of shirking hard qUestions. Not only is the stand taken by the Republican party in the Fremont nomination higher than that of any other considerable party, and therefore likely to be more enduring, but there are other reasons for its good promise ; nbtquite so gratifying to the pride of patriotisni e but not on that account to be con cealed by the true friends of American liberties. President Pierce has so contrived against the wishes and the commands of the South, as to throw the inducements of expediency into the scale of right just when the balaeice was trembling before the eyeis of the North. He has so managed that the avowal of an intention to restore the African slave trade, and also of au exieting illicit traffic in African slaves, is made by the South, just when an Eati= grant Aid Society is fornied at the North for peoL piing Kansas and Nebraska with free labourers, for the sake of a new stock and mode of invest, meat now, and of an extended trade hereafter; He has so contrived as that the discontented South is drawn into au annual confession of its weakness and poverty in a Southern Cunventien,' where planters condole with each other on the prosperity of the North in such a style as this : " As to New York City (we quote froni the iiiehmond Enquirer), into whose lap the slave States have poured the profits of their immense trade without stint for half a century ; whom they have trusted as their factor and steward, and al lowed to fleece them to satiety ; whom they have enriched by their unstinted patronage, and made" to grow great from the produce of their lands, and from the sweat of their brows ; it is the old story of Jeshurun waxing fat and kicking ; forsaking the abenefactor that made him, and lightly esteeming the rock of his salvation." President Pierce has so contrived as that the conflict shall take place in, Kansas, and at the expense of the proteges of the' Emigrant Aid Society ; and thus he himself has in- stituted such a balance in the interests of Northern citizens as effectually separates them from himself and from the South, whom he is provoking more every day. President Pierce has so managed mat ters as to throw the whole fore of these citizens, at the most critical moment., int.() the Re.publican ranks ; and his soldiers, wearing United States belts and badges, armed from the - federal arsenal, and authenticated by Governor Shannon's procla mation; are burning the farmsteads and harrying the stock of the emigrants, and trying to starve out the proteges of the Northern merchants. Cer tain horrors of outrage which have driven the women across the frontier, wherever they can find refuge, have determined the attitude of the Free- State Settlers. They have left their field§ and their houses to ravage and destruction, and have retired with their arms to the southern portion of the territory, hoping to maintain themselves by the wild game and fish till assistance can reach them from their patrons in the old States. The United States troops, Border Ruffians, and " mean-white" marauders, are coopiug them up, hoping that the fish and game will not suffice, and at the same time threatening with their vengeance the forces—now amounting to a considerable army—expected by way of lowa and Nebraska. It is President Pierce who has brought matters to this issue, which is sure to end ill for him, however it may turn out for true republicanism, its rights and duties. Meantime, Pierce's nearest countrymen and dearest foes are resolving to have Fremont in his place. Colonel Fremont is a Carolinian by birth and education, and married to a Southern lady ; and yet he is, and has long been, a " freesoiler," as his advocacy of freed-soil doctrine in the case of California showed. He was first known as a man of science (a mathematician and surveyor). His first public achievements were his survey of the Mississippi Valley, and the maps he made for the general government. Next he was known as the scientific geographical explorer, through whom the whole Pacific territory of the United States was obtained. He is recognised as the most ad venturous of living travellers, and his having survived the hardships of the wilderness and the perils of Indian travel testifies to his physical and moral strength. His remarkable power over the wildest Indians seems to indicate his fitness for rule ; and his emerging with all clearness from a cloud of disgrace inflicted on him by rival and fac- tious commanders is regarded in Alierica as a good certificate of character. He is a known man, a respected man, and a man likely to be anything rather than a tool : and if any fear of warfare should arise from his being a high-spirited soldier in the vigour of his years (he is forty-three) it may be remembered that military rulers are found in practice less rash in going to war than civilians. So we English are wont to say in regard to our Indian empire. If the Americans are, once more, to be governed by a man of eminence, it must be by a soldier or sailor ; for if they had any states man of eminence, political parties would not permit a successful choice. This feeling considered, it seems that, as far as can yet be known, a better choice could hardly be made than of Colonel John Charles Fremont. (Prom the Morning Herald of this day.)

The opposite.taste of England and France have given a corresponding tenour to their respective labours, experience, and fortunes. While, in spite oarevolittions and disturbancea, shaken dynasties, and shattered Governments, France Lae still re membered the art to which she owes ,so much re nown —while in the midst of peace she has cffn tiimed to study the principles and elaborate the resources of war—while she has accustomed each of her great cities to the pone and excitement of the camp, and trained the youth of her people in the recurring lessons of military discipline and mili tary combination, England has been prosecuting her own studies ou fields of mole congenial adven ture. While France has never ceased to prepare foe the day when she should revive the martial splendours of the Empire, England contented her self with battling against the doctrines of a commer cial theory which she felt to be strangling her ener gies and hampering her progress. Protection was the Austria and Prussia of herdomestic campaigns, The Corn Laws were her Austerlitz; the other protective duties her Jena. Engaged in this conflict, she averted her gaze and her thoughts from those more dazzling and imposing objects to which France devoted herself, and the result is to both what both might have expected. When a war, not of theories_ but of rude material force, hreaas out, England, r ouse d f rom th e qu i etu d e o f 40 years, finds herself at first unequal to the duties of a new position, suffers in her materiel, suffers in her mili tary reputation, until she brings her full energies to bear upon au organisation which she had too long neglected. France in war finds only the prac tical application of studies to which she has long been devoted. A campaign is, in the majority of its incidents, a repetition of the life is the canton ments and garrisons of home. But, war ended, when she recurs to her industrial labours, and seeks to find new fields for her commercial energies, she has to contend with the same difficulties that menaced us, to learn the lesson which we have long since conned, and to win the victories which we achieved years ago. At this moment Franco is repeating our old con flict of Free Trade and Protection. All that by yearly and monthly discussions was hammered into the English mind, until the whole stock of com monplace arguments on either side was as familiar to every average Englishmen as his relations or his creditors, they have now to handsel. The French are a quick people, but the keenest wit and the clearest vision are blunted by the fogs of mistaken self-interest. Judging, then, by our own 'experience, we may suppose that they will con tinue to hear and repeat among themselves for the next eighteen months those formulae of belief which ten years ago flaunted on the banners of the Bond-street Association and agricultural gather ings Protection to native industry,"—" No foreign competition,"—" Charity begins at home," —" Our own interests before those of our neigh bours,"—" France needs not the productions of foreign States; she is sufficient for herself," diee. Such for months to come, we may infer from our own experience, will be the shibbo leths of French Protectionists. The only dif ference between their English prototypes and them will be that, as the former represented the territorial jealousies, the latter impersonate the manufacturing fears. But we do net observe that this makes any difference either in the vehemence or the reasonableness of their clamours. eautato amine, all else is the same. The manufacturing is in no degree superior to the agricultural mind; and if the Emperor proceeds—as sonic persons ex pect that he will proceed—resolutely in the direc tion of Free Trade, we may make up our minds to hear or read numerous and hearty declarations that " the sun of France will set for ever "—" the glory of the empire will depart "—" the descendants of the heroes of Marengo and Austerlitz will siele into slavery," from the moment that French housewives buy useful and durable crockery or hardware of foreign make for about half the money that they are now forced to give for knives that won't cut and plates and, cups that are always falling by their own gravity, and never fall without breaking in pieces. All this we have ourselves gone through. We know the worth of these predictions to the last penny ; and, if it will be of the slightest use to our French friends, we will make them a present of our own experience. We need hardly repeat the _terrible prophecies that were prompted by the coming repeal of our Corn Laws. Who does not recollect the land that was to go out of cultiva tion,—the untilled acres which were to be the grave and monument of a once happy but now famished peasantry,—the decadence of our most illustrious families,—the extinction of the species "country gentleman," with the exception of a few who were to be preserved in some favoured dis tricts, like the dodo at the Mauritius or the mega thorium at the Crystal Palace,---the absorption of such labourers as were not starved, or who did not eat one another bodily, into cotton twist, jennies and steam-engines—t o sa y no thi ng o f t h at sun which was always going to set, and that glory which was always going to fade ? Well, all this and a great deal more was prophesied. And what is the upshot of it all ? Not a single acre has gone out of cultivation. The price of corn—not during a year or two of the war, but the average price during four or five years—has risen concur rently with the growth of population, the exten sion of trade, and the importation of foreign grain ; the value of landed property, so far from falling, has also risen ; and with all these there is an im provement in the condition of the agricultural labourer throughout four-fifths of the counties of England. More than this, that which is true of England is remarkably and strikingly true of Ire land. There the landed interest is enjoying an equable and diffused prosperity such as it had not known for half a century of protection ; and the improvement in the condition of the Irish labourer is shown by tho Poor Law and emigration returns which we have recently cited. But land was not the only interest which en jeyed ba which lost protection with us. Sir R. Peel laid the same hands which despoiled corn of its " 4 protection " on no less than 540 other articles. Despite the interested protest of acme manufac turers or producers, he applied the same prin ciples which had abrogated the Corn Laws to sugar, leather, glass, hides, cattle, fish, and silk. And what has been the result ? The general interests of the country have derived immense benefit from the change, and the industry which protective laws fixed in certain grooves has aowsd, oat into new and numerous channels of productiveness. We do not know whether our French friends will take heart from our example. Abstract reasoning has, as we know, but little influence on the actions of men and nations. It was not abstract reasoning alone that carried the repeal of the Corn Laws in our country, but the active and energetic combina tion of men whose interests we thwarted and passions irritated by their continuance. In the same way France will owe any re laxation of her protective syst not to essays and speeches so much as to the combined action and intelligence of men whose capi al, in dustry, and hopes are embarked in those large commercial enterprises which involve her material prosperity. When all who are engaged in the silk manufactures of Lyons or the wine manufacture of !Buy gaudy and the Gironde feel that commerce is a thing of mutuality—that it cannot be one-sided— that a country cannot export without importing, and that every singlesou which is paid for a bad article made at home rather than for a good article made abroad is really two sons taken from the means of the country—then, and then only, -shall we begin to hope that the combination of iron founders and cutlers and cottonworkers will net succeed in fixing upon France a burden which we have shaken off, and hindering a development of resources of which she is probably as yet ignorant herself. (From the Daily News of this day.) Interesting as all the phases of American politics are to Englishmen, our first attention is naturally given to the contest for the Presidentship. On the choice of the next President hangs the question of peace or war between - the United States, and various foreign countries—England being among the foremost on the list. Not that we believe that any possible President —we might say any Ameri can citizen—would directly and sincerely go into a war with England ; but one at least of the can didates in the field is pledged to a policy which would render war almost unavoidable. While, therefore, it is understood that other changes, and many of them, may take place before the election in November, we observe with strong satisfaction that the Republican party is showing such vigour, spirit, and resolution as to afford a goo d prospe - 1 of the return of its candidate—Col. Fremont. Mr. Buchanan's Imlay were confident of their ability to decide the matter their own way, because they could have done so last year ; but, as an emirsen t American lawyer once said, there is nothing ! difficult to foresee as the near future of America GRAND BANQUET AT THE _MANSION HOUSE TO:GEgERAL WILLIAMS, OF KA2S. • The 'i‘ tiero 6e , Kars "' was last night the honoured guest of the Lord Mayor at a grand ' banquet given at the'Mansionlihuse, at which were also preeert several of the most distinguished officers, naval anclmilitary, who had taken part in the late war.

There were men to shorn fori•une gave great oppprtunities, and who had the 'alent and genius to seize those opportunities, for making , hernselves a reputation, alike honourable to themselves and their country. Such a man was General Williams, and so far from regarding him with feelings of envy or jealousy, he was satisfied that the army were proud and delighted to do him honour. (Loud cheers.) The LORD MAYOR then gars "The Army and Navy," coupling with the former service the name of Lord Gough, the hero of Chillianwallah, and with the latter that of Vice-Admiral S:r George Seymour. The toast was drunk with much applause, and Lord GOUGE and Admiral SEYMOUR returned thanks. The LORD AfAYOR then called for a bumper toast to die health of his honoured guest, Sir William Fenwick Williams, the hero of Kar', whose struggles to maintain the reputation of his country, and whose high qualities of loyalty, constancy, fortitu.le, and patient endurance. in a distant country, amongst strangers, in the face of a numerous and well-trained enemy, and the most difficult and adverse circumstances, it was scarcely possible to equal, and certainly not to surpatH. (Enthusiastic cheering.) It was his pleasure to have as his guests r.hose brave companions of General William., Colonel Lake, Colonel Tees•!ale, Mr. Churchill, aod Dr. Sand with ; and in asking the company to drink to the health of General Willialts, he was sure they would not forget the names of those gallant men. (Cheers.) The toast was drunk with three Mimi three, and loud and protracted plaudits. General NVILLIAIts (who on rising was greeted with loud and prolonged cheers) said : In returning thanks for the honour you have done me, you will pardon me if I fail to do so in a suitable manner—(hear, hear)—for coupled with the kind expressions of your lordship in oroposing the toast, his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge has used words which shall never forget— words which conveyed not only the opinion of himself, but of that of many most distinguished generals whom I have now the honour of seeing at your I , ,rdship's hospit able board.

From Gibraltar I visited amongst other places Xarifa ; but when I read the inotto— ‘• Hurrah for brave Geugh" inscribed on the stones and bricks which fill up the breach made in the fortifications there by the French, I tittle dreamt that I should live to see the day when I should stand in his presence and hear my name pro pesed in a toast from your lordship's chair to so ilium •rione an assembly a; I new sea around me, and that brave general amongst them.

(Hear, hear.) But let me here, fur the filet time since I have been in England, mention as worthy of all admiration, the names of those two very gallant Hungarians General Kmety and General ICohlrear. (Loud and prolonged cheers.) His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge and many other officers now present have witnessed the gracious, the condescending, and the gratifying man ner in which her Majesty the Queen has been pleased to receive me, not only on one, biet on several occa eions, and this is a distinction which next to the honour which a military man must prize above all others, I most highly value. (Cheers.) Let me here say a word e e two respecting those brave Turks who in the siege of Kars stood with us, worked with us, watched with us, and fought with us, and who constituted the army which I had the honou r to command. My lord, I be lieve there is no better stuff or material to be found in the world for making an army than that which we found in Turkey. The army of Kurt were penniless— that is to say they had net been paid for three years ; and you can easily conceive for yourselves] what would be the condition of any body of troops placed in such circumstances. But those gallant men, penniless as they were, arid starved and naked as they were, stood in the breach seven mortal hours, and kept the finest army ha the service of Russia completely at bay ; and it was not until two months afterwards that, still starving and still naked, they surrendered, and then marched out with all the honours of war. (Prolonged cheering.) My 1 I feel that I could not sit down with a clear conscience unless I made mention of their enduring courage and their noble conduct, (Cneers ) They belong to a nation for which we have fought, bled, and spent much trea sure ; and I have no doubt you will concur with ma in the opinion that with such excellent qualities as I have described, if we have only the patience to put them in the right way, this people will not fait to show them selves worthy of the interest we have taken in them, and the efforts we have put forth to support the integrity and independence of the Turkish empire. (Hear, hear.) The Lord Mayor has alluded to my having been this day elected to a seat in the House of Commons. When addressing my constituents I referred to the a e llant army .which has jut returned covered w ith - glory . to our shores, and I asked th e m if th e y thought I should be doing nay duty as their member by advocating the cootinned efficiency of that army, and and they one and all declared that I should. (Cheers.) I now appear in another character, that of burgess of this vast and wealthy city, and the ap peal I addressed to my constituents at Caine I am sure I may repeat to my brother burgesses here with the cer tainty of receiving the same response, and that they will unhesitatingly approve of my determination to do the utmost in my power to maintain our army in its present excellent state of discipline and efficiency.

EVACUATION OF KEF.TCS.—A private letter received by a mercantile Louse in the city from Captain Thomp son, of the steam ship Pacific, which arrived at Malta , in the 29th ult., with 700 men of 71st Higlihaders from Ketteh, gives an interesting account of the delivery of that town by the English to the Russians The latter troops.marched in on the 224, relieved the English sen ories, and most cordially fraternised with ttera, went through the ceremony of crissing colours, shook hands, and evinced a hearty goodwill towards their late enemies with some generous expression of feeling accompanied with Crimean champagne. The Russian band accom panied the English troops to the point of embarkation, THE ALLIANCE BANK. A meeting of the proprietors of the Alliance Bank was held yesterday at the London Tavern. Mr. Stokes (the gerant) said that the company being a French one, the usual meetings of the shareholders were held in Paris ; but it was felt by the English members of the direction that the English shareholders should be made aware of the position and prospects of the undertaking, and that they should be consulted as to the course it would hi wise to pursue. This had been made more particularly apparent by a meeting of a particular clasQ of shareholders, held a short time since, from which others of the shareholders were excluded. It was well known that the bank had been established for the pur pose of tking advantage of the favourable opportunities for the employment of capital arising from the growing commercial intercouse between London and Paris, and the progress of civilisation in Turkey. ,Had the com pany been formed as an English one, it would have been necessary to have had shares of 1001. each, with 501. paid up, with a liability of a caq for the remaining 50/. ; whereas, by making it is French company they were able to make the shares of 201. each, without any lia bility when the whole of that amount should be called up. The company's operations had hitherto been prin cipally confined between Paris and London, for they had only very lately commenced doing business at Con stantinople, and had not results on that subject to pre sent to the shareholders. The most simple operations of business between Paris and London had been in the exchanges, which Afforded a profit of something like 201. 16s. per cent, interest, without any risk whatever. Tbey bad also carried business on at Paris in an ordinary way of banking, and instead of paying the usual com mission had eff-eted operations at a reduced rate; They had also realised more than 1,0001. in aiding new companies in France to bring their objects before the public of this country. The accounts of the bank to the 30th June would, of course, be laid before the r g e e s n u e l r t a l m m i g e h eg of the t ti be stated s a h s a reho follows, lder s, v z ut . : _the general h e general proceeds exnenses w 7 e 9 r o e l. 3 1 d. 0 , s. 1 3 ea d v ., ing and the w a balance e kin o g f 7,8151. 12s.

The directors were desi▪ r ous of an expression of feeling on the part of the meet ,ng as to the advisability o f f or f e iti ng th e s hares which had not been paid up, and they also wished the share holders to nominate from among themselves gentlemen who might be deemed eligible to fill the vacant seats at the b.)ald. In answer to questions from shareholders, it was stated that 4,500 shares had been taken in Francs. The number of shires was 10,000, of which 1,950 were held by the directors and a lame number by their im mediate friends. About 88,0001. has been paid up. It was further stated by Mr. Stokes that be has the certi ficate, in the Emperor's own writing, that the position of the company is regular as to limitation of liability, and that they have power to carry on every operation as (w hat is called in Parik) a " cre dit cornpqny. " It vas unarrmously resolved th at t h e shareholders present, notwithstanding the gratification they felt at the profit realised during.th e few months of the bank's operations, as shown by the figures submitted, were of opinion that it would be inexpedient to declare a dividend at present, and therefore recommended to the council an adjourn ment of the dividend until the end of the year. A reso lution was passed, expressing the opinion off' the share holders that the ebares on which the calls are not paid by the ist of August next ought to be forfeited. Mr. C. Turner and Mr. Rotherham, of Liverpool, were una nimously solicited to become candidates for the direc t:— THE SARDINIAN ARMY. —The following details of the losses of the Piedmontese army in the Crimea are official. The Piedmontese army in the East was; augmented by successive reinforcements to 17,584 men. Up to the 31st of October, 1355, it lost 1,632 men, of wl4om 1,211 died of cholera, 170 typh us f ever, and 2 , 51 from wounds and other causes. Of this number 56 were officers, 18 employes in the commissariat, and 1,563 rank and file. The official returns from the 31st of October to the time of the evacuation are not yet completely made up, but the loss may be estimated at 900 ; so that the tot a l l oss of the Piedmontese army engaged in the war will be about 2,532 men.—Express. great Maj en di e a d mits int one of his lee- SCIENCE GLORIOUSLY APPLIED. —SUIe ?BRING CHANGED yet done, littl e t o c h ec k t d He says that w ith all their knowledge they are groping in the dark. Wh y i s this ? Simply be cause they have not discovered a key to the causes of the maladies they seek to cure. Herein, it mould seem, Professor Holloway has surpassed them all. Instead of trusting to a hap-hazard exhibition of rtereotyped pre parations, he sought in the disordered human organisa- tion the secret source of its condition. Lie found in it that ruddy fluid which is the element of every organ, and he knew that if the poison in that element were dis charged or neutralised, the body which it fed, renewed and sustained, would be restored to health. He sue.' ceeded in discovering and combining vegetable antidotes which were equal to the task. This was the origin, twenty years ago, of his famous Pills ,and Ointment Now the world rings with their fame. Disease is met and vanquished, whether developed int!rnally or on the surface. His medicines break up the magazine of poison in the spletn, and, like the heads of the Hydra when out from the pestiferous holy, the disorders die for want of sustenance. This we understand to be the philosophy of the operation of Hollow ay's Pills and` Ointment. What are honours, entolutnent, applause, to the man who has wrung from animated nature the secret of the origin of disease, and from the vegetable kingdom the means of arresting all disc area at the foun tain head ? ‘/Z A , - b-)4;'t 7/ 1 I4 V 5' t r.), •!. ‘;' ‘VS;i4'l ”ifqNi4e \ _4;447 4 r .

However, it ini, - ;ht be so arranged that when the next nearest public play groun d had cricket, the other one miz,L't have football, and vice versa.

Sets of bath, quoits, wickets, ctc. might be kept at all the public playgrounds, hireable for some trifling su. m, as one halfpenny an hour. Indeed we cannot see any good ream.

Saturday ought. throughout the country to be a halt-holiday. All work should be suspended at noon, or at all events IT two o'clock in the after noon of every Saturday, the wages of the weeik having been paid not later than seven o'clock oat the evening of every Friday. This would afford the labourer some time for relaxation, and he would re turn with redoubled vigour.to his work on Monday. The shopkeeping portion of the community would not suffer the slightest diminution of business from closing early on Saturday, as there would be precisely the same .amount of money in the bands of purchasers, only they would have less time to make them in, but there would be precisely the same amount of cask expended, and in precisely the same articles, as at present. Merchants would Le unaffected by it, nor, in short, would any per son suffer the slightest diminution in the amount of their sales or profits, save and except, perhaps, those who employ labour in the direct production of comniodities. It is a well-known fact that many mechanics habitually neglect to work on Monday. Now, it is a great evil, and one that tends mate rially to diminish the productiveness of labour, that some should be absent from work when others are engaged. A half-holiday on Saturday would induce nearly all this class cheerfully to come back on Monday, and this, combined with the increased energy and renewed vigour of the working classes, resulting from a Saturday half holiday, would pre bably compensate and counterbalance any loss arising from the respite from work. Indeed, it may be deubted if the grosS production of the country wauld be at all affected by it ; we are cer tainly inclined to think it would not, as the phy sical-strength of the population would be decidedly improved, their meuLal capacity enlarged, said their moral energy incredibly stimulated. GREAT ROBBERY.- EXTL:AORDINALY C.AS P. At Folkestone Petty Sessions, yesterday, an f , xtranr• dinar charge of robbery was preferred against Mr. Augustus fia.tkr, n;auag(-r of the Pavilion Hotel, for stealing 1,5001., `the moneys of a gentleman named Ail - red de is Motto, who descrined himself of Pariv. The case bad been privately gone into by the magistrates, who.rema. di=d the accused till yeAerdayipreparatory to is con.mi•tal. Mr. of Ely-place, I.ord.)n, attended on behalf of the pri,,,ver. Th. 3 evidencd_of the.nrosecutor; as interpreted, was to the lollowinv effect :—Oo SuArty week last he arrived atFkdkestone by the Boulog e steamer, and put up at the Pavili-n Hots-l. He bad a leather bag with him, c tin,ing s onewli re ahout 430,000 fr. ; he could not eta e exactly the sum. He gave it to the proprietor, Mr. Breach, to take chr.rg , t of. The next day, however, Mr. Br. ach t:'ld him, as he was going from home, he would leave the money . to the care of his manager, Mr. Hastier (the pri.oner), whom he introduced at the time. On the following Thure , day the prosecutor, who bad gone to D 'ver on business, returned to the hotel, and asked fir his money. He was toll he cent! not have it ut.til Mr. Hayti: r had returned front London, where he had gone. Feeling uneasy' about the mousy, be re• queer, d portfoli, and leather bag to be , earthed for. When discovered, it was found that the whole of the notes (Erg ish and French) bad been abstracted. From ce.le r witnews it appeared that the prisoner, solo af`er Mr. Breach ha I imposed on him the custody. of the money, suddenly left the hotel for London, but he telegraphed back, saying he would be back in the course of the following night. Not making his appear% anus, suspicions were excited, and on the discovery being math of the notes being abstracted, information wa, given to Mr. Steers, the superintendent of the Folkestone police, who immediately telegraphed the' particulars of the robbery to all parts of the kingdom.. On Friday night Mr. Rchards (a Custom-house agent) discovered the prisons-r at Dover, muffled up, making for a steamer fir Belgium. He challenged him, ands gave him into the custody of an officer who happened to, be near, and on searchin g hi m th e w h o l e of the stolen notes were found in his possession, some soceregns, handsome bag, containi ng every requ i s i te f or the toilet, and a passport for. Belgium. Other evidence having been adduced, Mr. Steers, the superintendevt, made an application for a further remand of the prisoner, which was granted, and the prisoner was remanded ; the prosecutor being bound in the sum of 1,0001. to appear and prosecute. Since the apprehension of the accused, several London detectives have, by the instruction of Sir Richard Mayne, been engaged at Folkestone and Dover, making inquiries into the case; the result has been to place an attachment on the money recovered and placed in the hands of the French Embassy. A local paper states that M. de la • Motte had had the money entrusted to him in France to invest in French securities ; but that he had brought it to England, along with another man's wife, and that the metropolitan police bad been telegraphed with to . stop the notes. The affair has created much sensation at Folkestone and Dover. THE LATE GALE IN THE CHANNEL. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. Accounts from all parts of the coast continue to pour into the Underwriters' Room, which show that the re cent hurricane has left many traces of its course. The George A. Hopley, Capt. Maloney, which sailed hence for Charleston on the sth July, is ashore near Portrush, and will become a total wreck ; crew saved. The Isaac Webb, Bryer, hence to New York, is lying aoinst the rocks at the entrance to Amlwch harbour. Her passengers, 200 in number, all landed. In the vio• lent gale yesterday morning she lo.t Rally, and was put on shore for safety. She has a good deal of water in her lower hold, and some floor timbers are supposed to be broken, but it is expected both ship and, cargo will be saved, The Isle of Man steamer, King Orry, left Liverpool for Douglas, [sle of Man, at 2 p.m., oa Monday, and when about ten miles from the island, at 2.30 a.m. yes terday, her intermediate shaft and a crank pin broke. .She was fallen in with about 15 miles from the islatad by • the company's steamer Tynwald, at 11 a.m., while OR her passage from Douglae, and towed back safely .to Liverpool. THE STORM OF MONDAY NIGEIT.—The gale of Monday night appears to have been very destructive. Its ef• fects in the neighbourhood of the Mersey bare already been stated. On the Pembrokeshire coast formidable weather was experienced. Two coasting vessels were driven on shore near Abermaur, and it is feared the crew of one of them perished. A schooner called the Poppleweil, baind to Che-ter from Swansea, was. cast ashore near Fishguard, but the crew escaped.' During • the height of the storm two vessels were driven on ate rocks in St. Bride's Bay, and became wrecks. A short distance to the north , ard of Holyhead the schooner Adelaide, belonging to Workington, was lost, with Mr. Potts, the master. On the Anglesey coast there was almost 3 hurricane. Early in the morning a large Ame rican ship, Isaac Webb, Captain Bryer, which nad left Liverpool on the previous day for New York, with 320 ernigrant3, went ashore near the entrance of the harbour . of Amlwch. The, whole of the passengers, an., and their baggage. were saved. Several fishing cobles left Redcar, on 'the north-east coast, about the middle of the day, for their ordinary avocation.. ,The weather was Vita fine, but in two or three hours the wind °imaged to the N.E.„ blowing furiously, with a Very heavy sea. The cables immediatety made for land, but three or four • are missing, with their crews. One of thwecobl es was washed empty ashore near the Redcar Cliff. See- • ral large coasters are reported to have been wrecked on this district of coast. Some few miles to the northwa rd of Stairthes, near Redcar, four vessels were carried asboi`e by the gale. Two echonners, named the Eaglet. awl Lively, of Whitby, bound to Huh, shared a.sivalar fate between Redcar and the Staithes.
