IRISH PROVINCIAL BANKS. We have reason to believe, that the informa tion. conveyed by an Irish Paper in the interest of the Bank of Ireland to be correct, and that oar readers mho may be disposed to contribute their means towards the improvement will be -pleased to find, that there is not any truth in the report that the Bank of Ireland intends to oppose the Provincial Banks of Ireland. " A paragraph appeared in a Journal of last evening, which i!as been copied into some of the Morning Papers, advocating the principle of Joint Stock Companies, at the expence of the Bank of Ireland, against which some very invidious, and, we ac+ Confident, mos t unfounded aspersions , ha v e been cast . T he Bank is accused of attempting to " crush the rising energies of Ale nation, in an underhand manner, with all the petty and unworthy spirit of rivalry—not with a view of benefitting the public, but solely to increase their own profits." This is a grave and serious charge against a public body, and one that 'snood not be made or entertained on slight grounds. The a ccusation appears toirest onithe following supposititious circum stances-4 namely, that the National Bank has opposed the establLshment of Joint Stock Companies in this country, and is about to form Branch Banks in the Provincial Towns," to the exclusion of those already contemplated. Now, to any p_rson at all acquainted with the construction of the National Bank.; tile privileges it enjoys, the limitations to which it is subject, its'restriction of capital, and the correspondence on v.: occasions upon these very subjects, recorded amongst the public documents of the country, the accusation made scarcely requires refutation. But as many who read the charge may be unacquainted with the facts, we think it necessary, in +justification of the Bank, to state the following : " The capital of the National Bank is restricted to three mil lions.--and this is an extension of recent date, and the Blnk Act specially interdicts them from issuing any bills, notes, or • securities exceeding that amount. No man will surely contend , that three millions is a sum sufficient to constitute the sole cir enlatin, medium of a country such as this. For so me y ears private Bankers' notes have been in bad repute throughout the kingdom, and we have, therefore, adopted the word sole, as best conveying that which is universally known to be the fact. The privilege—or monopoly, as it is invidiously called—of the National Bank, does not extend beyond fifty miles of the Me tropolis ; and the correspondence between Lord Liverpool, Mr. It'ansittart, and the Governor, at the period when their Charter was about being renewed, clearly recognizes the right,-one not contended for, nor, we believe, now sought to be questioned, of Joint Stock Companies establishing themselves in the pro vincial towns. The accusation made that the National Bank is now about to establish branches in the country, is not only preposterous, but must, of necessity, be unfounded. It is pre posterous, because the adoption of such a measure would be an admission-of its necessity, and would be the strongest and most - powerful argument capable of being adduced by those inte rested in the formation of Joint Stock Companies, in the event of opposition. It must be unfounded, because it is matter.of pub notoriety that at the period •of the failures of the Southern Banks, Government interference was used to induce the Gover nor and Directors ..to de that of which they are now accused, namely, to establish Branch Banks in the southern towns, and which they were obliged to decline for this obvious reason, that extension of business required increase of capital, and the clause in the Act rendered it impossible for them to issue notes beyond the amount to which they were restricted. We will not suppose that they are -.capable of doing that for their own per sonal agirandisement, which they were incompetent to achieve for the public good ; nor that they are disposed to skew any opposition to a measure of such benefit to the country, as that proposed by the establishment of .loint Stock Companies. 41 ' We are as strenuous advocates for the introduction of ikitish capital into Ireland, as fully impressed with the incal culable advantages it would confer upon this unfortunate coun tl.v, as can be any of our contemporaries; but we would not aitvance this great object by depreciating such an establishment n..s • -Are - National Bank—one Which has hitherto deserved and enjoyed the public coraidence.; and one which, we venture to assert, is incapable of acting in the manner attributed to it in the paragraph to which we have been alluding." .. T - THE EDITOR OF' rnE SUN. Sqn..—The immense sums of money recently proposed to be raised for laying down rail-roads in various parts of the king dein amount to upwards of ten millions of money, and has ex cited my attention. Such a sum, artificially subscribed, must b attended with serious consequences, should our Government allow the numerous hills for them to be carried into a law. I sty artificially raised, because I am certain that the majority of subscribers have put down their names for the sole purpose of selling -their' shares at a premium, without entering into their -marious merits, or considering the consequences. If acts of Parliaments are obtained, large contracts will be made, and heavy calls for money must be the consequence: this will na weeny bring shares to market all at once, and they will pro bably go to a (discount. The holders of scrip receipts may put tl . aern in the fire, and the original subscribers being the only raraans known to the Committee, will be compelled (their natnes being in the act) to pay up their instalments. I could quote eases, but that will be invidious, and I will content my •seil with the bare assertion. In some few instances, where there have been excessive charges for tonnage on canals, these new subscriptions have been bcnefteial to the public, by occasioning a reduction in their rates ; hut in a general way, • they have tended to lower the value of canal property. without benefit to any one ; it has easen eatended so far as to depreciate the price of some canal • sitares, where there is no possibility of laying down a rail-road so as to interfere with their traffic. raat a rail-road, where it runs in opposition to a canal, can na; be profitable, is a self-evident fact ; because the Commit tees would immediately reduce their tonnage to such a low rate as to set profitable competition out of the , question. It would . ba similar to some of (air stage-coach proprietors, who take passengers at such low fares, that they scarcely cover the duty -which must be paid to Government. In such a case how can a proprietor, who embarks his capital, expect remuneration by way of dividend ? It is very evident that many of the prospectuses have been &awn up .by persons very little acquainted with rail-roads. They propose travelling on them, by means of locomotive engines, at the rate of 10, 15, and even 20 miles an hour. There is no instance at present of their going at the rate of even six titles an hour : the perfection they may attairaat any future pasiotr is problematical, and therefore should not .be calculated on as data for present operations. We can -only he guided by what has already been done—not by the supposition of what may be done hereafter. The present locomotive engines are of as a enormous weight : the one at Killingevorth colliery is eight tons. Such an immense .weight, going at so great a speed, would shatter both rail-road and engine to pieces ; besides whirls the carriage would he in great danger of cunning off, the rails, arid then let me ask what power it .will require to get it on -again ? The expence of keeping the present rail-roads in re pair is very heavy, and must be equal to that of a canal : a - pebble frequently occasions the , breaking ofas plate, which must be replaced by a new one, and constant use wears the plates out. • Canals are sometimes impassable from severe frost, floods, and a want of water ; but are not rail-roads-subject to impediments Mau snow and frost also ? Does not a severe winter, in some degree, affect rail-roads, and throw them out of order by a sub sequent thaw, the same as it affects the paved streets of London, which arc full of holes after a severe winter, and require to be treah lain,? .That this must be the effect in a greater or lesser d,wee, any one may notice., by looking at the atones in a gravel k aftera frost. On reading theca remarks, you will, perhaps, be surprised to find I am an advocate for rail-reads • but my object in writing is to draw the public attention to the subject, and of leading them to think, before they.pursue too far many of the present pro j e.cts. I have no doubt but England will, in time, be in tersmzted with rail-roads, and that great benefit will result to the community from them ; and that the same vast advantages will be derived by the country as have already arisen by the cutting of canals; but in order to make them answer to capi talists, they must be laid'down in judicious situations, and this is my leading object in writing on the subject. I have said, that it' laid down in opposition to a canal, they will riot answer : but I am firmly - of opinion, that. if laid down from a mine, or a ; ,;iliery, or a.quarry-, .to a navigation; from a navigation to a principal town; or ina situation required, where no navigation or rail-road exists, tirey must answer ; and hope my observa tions are so far founded on common sense as to induce you to insert them in your valuable paper for the good of the public, and that they will tend to prevent that general delusion which seems to exist in the minds of so many ; and that monied men will be led to discriminate between the good projects and the bad, before they venture to embark such large sums, by deli berating with their own cool judgment. 'The projected plan from Manchester to lAiverpool I highly approve of ; it is.mucti. wanted. The traffic by land-carriage is iram.use, and the ( canals cannot convey all the goods ; from the quantities which are constantly passing,' they are often Choked up with bares ; therefore a rail-road in such a district, and in many other situations such as I have pointed out, must answer : whereas it appears utterly impossible that others can pay even•a tdflin; dividend.' I am, Sir, ybur obedient servant, <Lczidon, Jan. 22. A. B. C. IN DI A. CALCUTTA, Ano. 24.—Intelligence from Rangoon of the 25th of July, states that the Prince of Lanacwuddy had arrived at Danadoo, with 20,000 men, and was raising the country en mane, to attack us. He had ordered his arrival to be kept a profound secret, lest the terror of his name should induce us to • run away ! ! A general attack on our lines was said to be . firmly resolved on. The Wongly, who had been opposed to, us, was returning to live in disgrace, and on his endeavouring to dissuade the Prineefrora undertaking operations until after the rains, he was loaded with irons and placed in the most rigor ous confinement. The King of Ava. it was said, had left his Capital, and taken the command of a camp formed in •the upper provinces. The Burmese are represented by some pri soners to be in the greatest want of provisions, and the utmost reluctance prevails among them to encounter our troops. Awo. 25.—Extract of a letter from Cheduha, Aug. 8, 1824 : —" Since last 1 wrote to you , noth i ng has transpired here. We have fish, fowl, veal, and beef, at present, in abundance, but neither flour, sugar, nor vegetables of any description ; we, however, live in hopes that they will send us a few sheep, some flour, &c., which•will be just as acceptable to the Chedubites as to those at Rangoon.—l know nothing so annoying as being idle: and so we shall be if government send us ls 'Raniree. We have a sufficient force to protect 109 Che dubas ; they think the enemy may come over, but we are sepa -1 rated by three leagues of sea ; moreover there are but two landing-places on the island, and which are so difficult of ap proaclithat trite company would keep the whole of them at hay, should they presume to attempt it. Here we are, in sight of a country abounding with every thing we want. Blue Devils is the only complaint we have amongst tfs; the sepoys com plain of the ague, but we have not lost above two or three of them. We have had much rain lately, and it has blown vio lently from the south-west. The monsoons will shortly break up here, when I intend to take a trip to the volcanoes and the hills. The frigate paid a visit to the people at Ramo°. They crowded on the beach, dancing about and flourishing their doves ; there was a gilt chattah seen ; they tired a gun loaded with all sorts.of trash, which went over between the masts of the ship ; the frigate returned them 70 rounds of round and grape, but it appears they did not go near enough to do them any harm. The beach; however, was effectually cleared, although fires were continually lighted on the opposite shore, to show that they were on the alert. " I can as yet give you no description of the country, owing to the incessant rain we have had, and the swampy state of the ground; but I think, when we get toads made, it will be really a beautiful and useful possession. The women here are the ugliest mortals I ever beheld; some of them tattoo themselves all over the face, which gives them a most hideous appearance ; the men are none of the best looking (the Mugs I mean). They are, however, stout and strong, and willing to work. We want small coin very badly ; our mess goes on smoothly, although it is short of almost every thing ; meat and wine form a hot and unwholesome food, without bread or vegetables, of which we are heartily tired."

It is reported that the army is about to be increased by a new levy of 10,000 men, of which number 5,000 are destined for Ireland, and 5,000 for the East Indies ; the charge of the latter to be defrayed by the East India Company. It is likewise reported a Brevet is to take place in the Army and Navy, shortly probably on St. George's Day. Every ,lleginient is to receive two additional companies. The Cavalry is also to be increased in the same prorortion.—The whole of a Regiment is never again to he sent to the Colonies or Garrisons .abroad; if it consists often companies, six will be sent, and four and a Field Officer remain at home. The first division of the 99th Regiment of Infantry arrived on Sunday, on board the Zephyr transport, at Portsmouth from Leith, disembarked ;.esterday, and proceed to accupy the Bar racks at Gosport. The second division of the same corps is ex pected to arrive in a few days, on board the Diadem transport, at Portsmouth, from Scotland, and is ordered to occupy the Gos port Barracks. The 'present Earl Mount-Charles is Captain in the Clare ; it is supposed he will succeed his late brother in the LieutenantXoloneley of that corps, and also in the representa tion of the County of Donegal.—( Cork Southern Reporter. ) It is repOrted that active measures are in preparation both at the Ilorse Guards and the Admiralty, for causing a general retirement . among Navy and Army Officers of each rank in both services. The retirement, we understand, will be offered to a certain limited number of all officers possessed of a given seniority, who are to he put on a separate list, and receive the same allowance as if they were on full pay. The object of this regulation is, that the several lists shall contain none but effec tive officers. The general promotion is not expected to take place before April.—( British Press.) LITEUT-COLONEL HENRY HALDANE. On the 11 th of January, 1825, died at Dunkirk, Lieutenant-Colonel HENRY Ilat.pm4E, of the Royal Engi neerS, aged 68 years. He was the son of Colonel George Hal dane, of the King's Foot Guards, who died Governor of Jamaica in 1759, leaving the subject of this memoir then only an infant of three years old. The events of bis life belong now to history more than 'to the memory of contemporaries, for of his early companions in arms, there are not many who survive him. He was appOinted an Ensign in the Corps of Engineers in the year 1771. In 1776 he embarked for America, was ap pointed Aid-de-Camp to Lord Cornwallis, and was very actively employed whether the army was in motion or at rest; he re mained there till 1781, when he returned with his Lordship to England. Ile was - afterwards employed as Engineer in the Island of Jersey, and at the New Works constructing at Gos port till 1786, when Lord Cornwallis being appointed Governor- General of India, made Colonel Haldane his Private Secretary and Aid-de-Camp. The influence obtained by these situations needs not to be explained ; many of the acts of that justly famed Indian Administration, bear the impression of the mild urbanity, tolerance, exactitude, and economy, for whiCh this amiable man was so justly distinguished ; he might have made enemies, but they would have been the enemies of ('ato had they lived in his day. Ile had the sole and uncontroulled ma nagement of the: Governor-General's Privy Purse. lie was afterwards appointed Quarter -Master-General of the King's Troops in India, and was with his Lordship in all the actions, sieges, and military operations, which took place during the war against Tippoo Sultaun. He followed his Lordship to England in the year 1794, and on his arrival found that he had been recommended to Mr. Dundas, then Secretary of State, for the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel, and, had he then obtained that rank, he would, at his death, have been many - years in the list of Generals. When the Marquis Cornwallis was appointed 'Master-Gene ral of the Ordnance, he offered to his faithful friend and Secre tary the situation then vacant, of Commanding Engineer at Gibraltar, but which, for reasons known to himself, he begged leave to decline. lie was appointed on the Committee of En gineers, sitting at the Tower ; .and at the end o f the year 1796, failing his health much impaired, he retired on the invalid establishment of the Royal Engineers, with his Captain's rank • in that corps, and the brevet rank of Lieut-colonel, after a .period of 25 years of active service. ' Contrary to the, till then, invariable practice of that corps, he was not, in the year 1802, continued in the future Brevet Pro motions of the Army ; and he petitioned and memorialised the Earl of Chatham, then Master-General of the Ordnance, and those who succeeded him in that office, on that new, and to him harsh, regulation. In the end he appears to have given oll'ence to the heads of that department, by printing his official letters on the subject, and Where his arguments seem answered by the tic rob°, sic juYro, of authority. His high spirit thus publicly courted investigation, in order that it might be shewn it was no personal demerit in himself. . . His integrity, courage, and honour, were without spot or blemish. He was a man of great literary acquirements, an ac complished Persian scholar, and educated his sons himself. Ile amused himself latterly in making an exact calculation of the comparative Weights and Measures of France and England, which he designed lbr publication, and he wrote a letter to the Noble Earl at the head of his Majesty's Government, towards whom he always expressed the greatest gratitude, respecting the proposed change in the Weights and .Measures of England, which plan he highly disapproved. To sinew the respect in which he was held in the town of France, in which he bad resided with his family for the last live years, the Officersof the corps of Engineers proposed to bury him with full military honours, but, on consulting the Governor of the Town, it was found to be contrary to existing regulations ; but these Officers, together with the Field Officers and Staff of the Garrison, and many others, followed him to his grave. lie leaves behind him a widow and 14 children,_ seven sons, and seven daughters. Of the sons, one is at the English Bar, four have found protection under the father's virtues, having been successively promoted by different members of the Last India Direction, and two are of tender age. The daughters are unmarried. FOREIGN FRAUDS ON THE UNDERWRITERS AT LLOYD'S. Extract of a Letter from Henry Canning, Esq. to John Bennett, Esq., Secretary of Lloyd's, dated Hamburgh, Dec. 21, 182. Stn—l have the - pleasure to inclose, for the information of the Gentlemen of Lloyd's, a translation of the sentence which has been passed in the ease of Krieger and Marquardt, who have been prosecuted for the frauds committed in the case of the Dorothea. They will be found sufficiently severe to deter others from attempting similar mal-practices. (-Signed) HENRY_ CANNING. TUANSLATION.—" At the criminal examination carried on by the Directors of Demerara, and of the Admiralty, OcMelts against the merchant Edward Alexander Krieger and consorts, the Criminal Senate of the Royal Ober Land Court of West Prussia adjudges accordingly, that the merchant Edward Alexander Krieger,- is condemned, on account of rogueries committed in regard to the assurance on goods shipped in Nov. 1323, by the ship Dorothea, to a pecuniary punishment of 25,483 dollars, and in the case of his inability, to ten years' im prisonment in a fortress. lie is also declared to have forB.!ited the right of wearing the national cockade. 2d. That the Coun cillor of Commerce, Joachim Friedrick Marquardt, is con demned, on account of having cheated the underwriters in re gard to the insurance on goods laden by the ship Dorothea, to a punishment of 7,854 dollars, for which, in the case of inability, a:punishment of seven years' incarceration in a fortress is to be substituted ; likewise on account of the great negligence of making his oath as to the quantity of goods shipped, to a pu nishment of six months' imprisonment in a fortress, besides which he is to be deposed from his office as Councillor of Com merce, and of the 'Admiralty, and'th . be'punished with the loss of the national cockade." ' The case of the vessel above alluded to was, the Dorothea, loaded at Dantzic, for Rotterdam and the Brazils, and insured at Lloyd's; it appeared afterwards that the cargo consisted of nothing but stones, packed up in trunks, but insured as valuable goods. The vessel was afterwards lost, when they made their claim on the Underwriters, which we understand fortunately had not been paid. DRI:ADFC.r. A FFRA Y.—On Sunday morning a number of Iribhmen met at Bow-common, in or der to witness a pugilistic match between two of their countrymen, which was prevented from taking place by the interference of some peace officers. On their return a general row took place between the partizans of the two pugilists, and coming to an open place, at the bottom of Green-street, Whitechapel, a simultaneous fight of about sixty of them took place. Many on both sides were wounded. Information being sent to Lambeth-street Office, several of the officers repaired to the spot, and succeeded in taking six of the most active into custody. One, named Flynn, was so dangerously wounded, that on his being conveyed to the London Hospital, his re"i•l divinesdecl:tred se in rvi danger. ce, The affray took duringplace WEST INDIA DOCKS.

The LORDS cOMMISSIONRS of his MAJESTY'S Treasury have this day received at the Treasury the biddings for the last contract for the Lottery which it is the intention of Government to have drawn in this country, so that there will shortly be an end to raising money in that way. What the effect may be as to Little Goes and Private Lotteries it is not in our power at present to say ; but certain it is, that we have parted with this Old Friend of no less than oue hundred and thirty-one years stand ing, for it was in the year 1694 that the first annual Lottery was commenced. The successful bidders, Messrs. Bisu and Co. gave 141. 7s. 6d. per Ticket. Vire have not any arrivals to-day from Paria, for on Saturday no morning Papers were pub lished on account of the solemnity of the preced ing day, which was the anniversary of the death of Louis XVI. The Journal of the Two ,doilies, dated the 4111 instant, contains an official account of the sudden death of the King of NAPLES. It would appear that his Majesty had gone to the theatre a few days before, and notwithstanding his advanced age, had joined in his favourite amusement, the chace, on the 29th of December. On the 30t1t he was attacked with a slight cold, but on the 3d of January he was so well that he resolved to go out the next morning, little anticipating that his next journey would be to the grave. lie was heard to cough at 6 o'clock in the morning of the 4th, but on the officers of his chamber entering his room at 8 o'clock, with his Physicians, they found him dead, with all tl►e appearance of violent convulsions. The Council of State immediately assembled, and the new King FRANCIS L was proclaimed with the usual ceremo►►ies. The Allgenzeine Zeitung of the 18th contains the Official Decree of the Greek Go vernment for the Blockade of Patras and [..epanto, which we annex : AUGSBURG, JAN, 17. The Telegrafo Greco publishes the following DIZCL . AItATION OF BLOCKADE OF THE PROVISIONAr. GOVERNMENT OF GREECE. The President of the Executive Body considering that the Greek . Government has taken the necessary measures to fern' the regular blockade of the places still in the hands of the enemies of the Greek nation ; considering farther, that it 110 appointed a regular naval force closely to blockade the fort: essC s of Patras and Lepanto, gives notice :- 1. Ships of every description, whatever flag they may boor+ are forbidden to enter the ports of I'atras and Lepanto. 2. After the publication of the present Proclamation, the commander of the Greek naval division, or every Captain unde r his orders, will be bound to forbid for the first time every ship steering its course to either of the said two places (as soon it s it is proved that its cargo is not Turkish property) to enter then) , and to give it a written certificate that it has been summand' to put back; but to detain and send before the competent tri' bunal all those ships which shall be found on their way thithe r after such a lapse of time, that the blockade must be presume d to be known to them. 3.. All ships under neutral flags, which are in the to blockaded places, are free to sail, but without Turkish property on board, within three weeks after the appearance of the Greek Naval Division before the said places. Any ships sailing out after the expiration of this time will be also detained and sent before the competent tribunal. The Minister of the Marine i t charged to make the present Proclamation known in all ne" cessary places, and likewise by means of the press. Napoli de Romania, 14th (26) Oct. 1824. G. CONDURIOTTI, President. • P. S. RODIO, First Secretary of State• The Nuremberg Correspondent of the 17th instant contains an article from Cassel, datea , the 15th instant, complaining of the distressed state of agriculture in Germany, and of the coti' sequent falling off in the revenues of those States which chiefly depend upon the produce of the soil. In Hesse Cassel the effects of this state of things has been severely felt, so as to render i t compulsory upon the Government to make eyed possible retrenchment, even of some offices l aic!' would appear to be indispensible ; among whicil are those of the Minister of Justice, and the Mi." nister of the Interior. NEW BRAZILIAN LOAN.— ThiS Loan w brought out this morning at 85 per cent. It i 5 reported. that the remittances for the divi' dends are to be made in diamonds and Brazil wood, in the same manner as in the loan made by Portugal many years ago with the house of Hope of Amsterdam. Letters from. Bucharest, dated Dec. 21, state/ that all the private accounts received in that city' agree in mentioning that DEaviscu PAM% has been made prisoner by the Greeks.
