Audito r in the War-office. It is 411,4,, unspirators have seduced an individual of the th e f. ,;c4 General Valdes for the „ purpose of injuring val.ant and respected chief of that province. Some letters state, that a mistake took place respecting the signal for assembling the conspirators, and that several Royalists appeared in the street armed, and in their uni forms, supposing that the moment had arrived for proclaim ing the revolution. " Some houses were to be set on fire, in order to attract the attention of the citizens, and in the meanwhile the citadel and forts of the gates were to be taken possession of. Some of the conspirators have been embarked for Cadiz and Alicant, and vessels are preparing to convey others to different places. " The real or. supposed appearance of Don Carlos, the Pretender, Ins not failed to produce more or less movement in different places. It is not correct to say, as we have heard it said, that this event has bad no other ill effect than to have augmented the revolutionary ranks by one rebel more. A certain plan has been disclosed, which the good sense of the nation has, however, already suppressed on va rious points. Within less than six leagues of Madrid, the factious have been exemplarily chastised by the lancers of the Royal Guard, and a troop of infantry, which we believe also belongs to the same guard. " As soon as the entrance of Don Carlos into Spain was announced, we called the attention of our Government to the fact, and showed how necessary it was in such circum stances to ascertain the fidelity and decided character of the public officers, because we are aware that the occasion re quired them to give irrefragable proofs of attachment to the cause of Isabella 11. How much advantage might not the conspirators of Valencia have derived from the assistance of the Administrator of Posts of that city, and of another officer of the same department, who has also been arrested !" The draught for a criminal code, which was presented to the Procuradores on the 11th, is divided into four books, 46 chapters or titles as they are called, and 808 articles. On that day only the introduction and 348 of the articles were read, to get through which employed the secretaries, Trueba and Nelda, during the greater part of the sitting, reading alternately. The Minister, in presenting this vo luminous plan, stated that it had been prepared by. en lightened judges, possessing great learning and practical knowledge. Among its great advantages, one of immense importance was the uniting in one statute all the existing laws. Notwithstanding this praise, some of the Madrid pa pers express disapprobation of the plan, which is said to abound in the pain of death and other severe punishments. The Minister stated that it was the work of a committee, and admitted that all the members of the Administration were not perfectly agreed as to some of the details. The however, thought: it advisable, on account of the urgency oi the measure, to submit it to the Cortes, by whose delibera- tions they conceive it cannot fail to be improved. AMERICAN PAPERS. (From the New Orleans Bee.) FROM MEXICO.—The New Orleans papers contain fur. ther advices. The allusions in the article from New Spain, charging Santa Anna with violating his duty. and the con stitution, by " construing" that instrument as he understands it, bears apt allusion to a certain other defence of usurpa tion. It is a shield broad enough to cover the grossest • tyranny. " We have just received a number of the Ata'oyez Vic toria (Tamaulipas), of June 17th. In it is to be found official information, which makes us fear that New Spain is now becoming desolated by a civil war. The following are extracts To the Supreme Head of the Free State of San Luis de Potosi. Most excellent Senor,—ln the com munication which the General Don Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna sent on the 31st of May to the Chambers of the Union, you will see that he has exceeded his legal powers, and broken the Federal Charter, in construing it as he understands it. The Congress, in consequence of this, and before they had any knowledge of the conduct of Santa Anna in breaking up the national Government, issued the following decree, and also the proclamation which has been published. Never was there an occasion when we had more need of union and energy. Now is the time to resist this tyrant, who wishes to constitute himself supreme Dic tator. For this reason we wish you to receive the enclosed, and communicate it to your Legislature. " In the name of God and Liberty. " San Louis de Potosi, June 9, 1834. " The Constitutional Congress of the State believing " Ist. That the President of the Republic has not a right to con strue the Federal Charter as he understands it; " 2d. He has in his communication of 31st May had the hardi hood wilfully to misconstrue the authority of the Chambers ; " 3d. By these proceedings he has passed the limits of his duties and infringed upon the Federal Constitution ; therefore this Con gress does decree, that— " Ist. The State of San Louis, regarding as illegal all the public acts of the President, inasmuch as he will not submit to be bound by the Constitution and Laws, which recognized in the Chambers the right of interpreting the articles of the Constitution, and of publishing such laws and decrees as they may think proper ; " The Governor of this State shall communicate this decree to the Legislatures of the other States, praying their assistance. The Executive power of the State will publish, circulate, and exe cute this decree. " VINCENT RAMEIRO. " MIGUEL LAZO, Major. San Luis de Potosi, June G." LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM PERU.—We have been favoured with the following extracts of letters from Lima, giving an account of the betrayal of George Bermudez, and the surrender of the whole army : LIMA, APRIL 28.—0 n the 26th instant we received the important intelligence of the surrender of all Bermudez's troops at Huancuyo, about 1,200 men, to the President, and we hope this may decide the contest in favour of the Constitutional authorities, and restore us again to tranquil lity. People are too busy in rejoicing to think of business yet, but we hope they will turn their attention to it in a few days. ( From another letter, dated Lima, April 29. ) On the 26th we received the important intelligence that the officers in Bermudez's camp in Huancuyo had effected a revolution against him, and had surrendered all the troops, about 1,200 men, to the President, who had appointed Ge neral La Fuente to take charge of them. This event may be considered as decisive of the fall of the insurgents, and we hope will soon restore us to tranquillity. The Presi dent intends marching immediately upon Cuzco. Bermudez was first arrested by the officers who effected the revolution, but was afterwards permitted to escape with only one or two friends. He is pursued, but we think will escape to Cuzco. Although this severe loss to Bermudez may be consi dered decisive of his fate, it will take some months for the President to obtain possession of the Southern Provinces, and much longer for the storm of passions which civil Nfar always creates to subside. As yet we see no disposition to resume business. The dealers are generally deeply in debt to the importers, and until they see means of better payment than they have lately been able to command, they will not buy freely, nor will holders be anxious to press goods upon them. Since the Ist of January the stock of goods generally here and in Chili has been augmented, and several vessels with large cargoes are daily expected. We see no prospect of any improvement in prices, nor do we believe that those of December will be maintained.--Journal of Commerce. Dr. Bowring leaves Paris on Saturday next ; he has had, while there, several conferences with the King and the Ministers of the Interior and of Commerce.—French Paper. DINNER TO SIR E. SUGDEN.—A dinner was given at Cambridge on Wednesday by the Conservative party to Sir E. B. Sugden, the defeated candidate at the last dee _ tion. In the course of the evening several speeches were made against the Whigs and the present Government, and Sir E. Sudden retaliated the charge of bribery which had been thrown out against him by his opponents, whom he in return accused of using certain secret funds for the purpose of cor rupting the voters. He recommended Churchmen to unite in the same manner as the Dissenters were united in support of their cause, and he expressed his confidence that at the next election one of the Whig Members would be thrown out ; and he promised to come forward again as a candidate for the suf frages of the Cambridge electors. The health of Sir Robert Peel was drunk with a " galloping nine," which signifies re peated acclamations till the lungs are exhausted, and several. other conservative toasts were drunk with loud cheering. We stated that the Wesleyan Methodist Conference has decided on restoring Mr. Stephens to his station in the body, on condition of his giving a pledge that he would give up the secretaryship to the Association for the Separation of Church and State, and not attend any more anti-methodist meetings, and that he should be allowed one year to consider of the matter. Mr. Stephens is unwilling to admit that he was in error, and will net subscribe to any such imputation, and has therefore tendered his resignation.—Blanchester Guardian. Two valuable horses were last week stung to death by bees, one dying in great agony within ten minutes after it had been stung, the other surviving about two.days. The ani mals were turned into a yard at Chittern, Wilts, where there was a stack of bees, which they soon upset ; the bees fasten e d on the .horses, and the result was as stated.—Western Luminary. The antique canoe dug out of the earth at North Stoke, near Arundel, on one of the estates of the Earl of Egre mont, has since been presented by the Noble Earl to his Ma jesty, and is to be deposited in the British Museum. This curious piece of antiquity is supposed to have been buried in the bowels of the earth for at least eight centuries. The canoe is thirty-five feet long, and four feet eight inches in breadth, and appears to have been constructed from one solid tree. About five months ago the keeper of a public house, called the Palais Royal, in one of the suburbs of Cam .bray, irritated by a quarrel with his wife, struck her a blow which laid her at his feet ; and believi ng that he had murdered her he immediately afterwards blew out his own brains. The woman, however, recovered her senses, but finding her husband formed the resolution of d estroy i ng herself also. lying ie the 9th instant she carried her long contemplated suicide into execution ; having contrived to learn how to charge and fire a gun, she waited till night, and when all her children, one of whom is blind, were asleep, she placed the muzzle of the gun to her throat, and fired with such terrible effect that her head was severed from her body.—Paris Paper.

This morning the King, accompanied by the Duchess of Gloucester, took a drive in the Great Park. In the after noon their Majesties entertained their numerous visiters at Virginia Water, and the weather being extremely propitious, the Royal party were able to enjoy this charming retreat up to t a late hour, when they returned to the Castle to dinner. A numerous company of the surrounding nobility and gentry had been invited in honour of the King's birth-day, and covers were laid for eighty persons in the grand dining-room. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland was of the party, having arrived in the forenoon to offer his congratulations to the King. This evening there will be an assembly at the Castle, but not on so extensive a scale as those generally held by the Queen on the occasion of the King's birth-day, in con sequence of her Majesty being still somewhat fatigued by her journey. The King caused a buck to be sent to the officers of the two regiments, who gave a grand dinner in honour of the day. AUG. 22.

The business of Bristol has been of the most uninteresting description ; not a single case afforded the least general inte rest, although the Court has been occupied till a late hour every night. The last cause has just been tried, and the Western Circuit has concluded. On Monday last the Lord Chancellor dined with the gentlemen of the bar on the Northern Circuit, at Lancas ter. The day was entirely devoted to 'conviviality without any mixture of politics or any other topic likely to disturb the harmony of the meeting, song and merriment having been the order of the day. The dinner was placed on the table at half past five o'clock, and his Lordship did not depart until between one and two in the morning, at which time the company separated. Admiral West, Colonel Tod, &c., took their de parture this morning, by the General Steam Navigation Com rany's mail packet 7'ourist. FRACAS AT THE BIRMINGHAM THEATRE.- The close of the season at the Birmingham Theatre on Mon day last was attended with an untoward circumstance, similar to that which occurred with Mademoiselle Taglioni at the Opera—a refusal on the part of the dancers to appear until they were paid the arrears due to them. Considerable uproar took place in the Theatre, when the circumstance became known. On the part of the managers, Messrs. Wightman and Fitzgibbon, it was stated that two-thirds of the stipulated sum had been paid, and that a promise had been given that the re mainder should be forthcoming- in the morning. e repre sentatives of the danc ers (M a d ame Giubilei, Mademoiselle O'Bryan, and Monsieur Silvain) asserted that, so far from this being the case, they had not received - any money at all, nor did there appear a likelihood of their having any. The audience at one time were very uproarious, and various missiles were thrown upon the stage, but ultimately the dancers said that, rather than disappoint the audience, they would dance gratui tously. This allayed the storm, but the dispute occasioned considerable interruption to the performance, which did not terminate till about, three o'clock in the morning. Th e Bir mingham Advertiser, from which we gather the above facts, also mentions that a violent dispute took place between Messrs. Fitzgibbon and Wightman, the former of whom had one of his ribs fractured, and received. some severe bruises in the affray. The parties went to the police offic:?, and were bound over to keep the peace. WHITEHALL, AUGUST 21. .

EASTERN MA NNE RS.—The generality of readers have but a vague notion of the East. The actual character of the people, their domestic lives, their divisions into tribes and political parties, the distinctions of classes, and the vari ous influences, native to the soil, by which they are moved, are known only by snatches, or by inference. The new novel of ' Ayesha," by Mr. Morier, author of " Zohrab," how ever, is fresh from the valleys of Persia and Turkey ; it breathes the very fragrance of the roses, and is inspired with just enough of European interest, to make its Asiatic attri butes the more palpable and the more delightful.—Atlas. LICENSED VICTUALLERS' ASYLUM.—On Thurs day a meeting of the donors of this institution was held at the Asylum in the Old Kent Road, for the purpose of electing ten inmates to occupy ten recently-erected houses ; nineteen others are also in a state of great forwardness, which, when erected, will complete the building. There were fifteen candidates, and the names of the ten elected are S. Bull, J. Theed, J. Baldwin, W. Kilbee, Ann Smith, G. Leech, John Jay, S. Brandon, P. Hackett, and Ann Hochkins. When the other houses are finished there will be another election, at which time the candidates disappointed on the present occasion will probably have their wishes fulfilled. ROYAL SENSIBILITY.—Simond tells us that the Cathedral at Massa was pulled down by order of the Princess Elise, from its unfortunate proximity to the Palace. " The chaunting," said her Highness, " makes me melancholy, and the frankincense makes me cough." THE CROPS IN CANADA.--Owing to the May rains, the wheat fields present a more luxuriant appearance than at this period in any of the last eight years, and having thoroughly covered the ground, will prevent the rays of the sun extracting the moisture from the root. Unless injured by mildew or some other accidental cause, wheat promises to be unusually abundant ; but other crops are all in too backward a state to form an opinion of them, except pasture and mea dow, which give promise of abundance, and will be excellent, unless parched by hot dry weather. If the farmers would manure their meadow lands, slightly, plough the ground in tended for spring crops in the fall, and plant earlier, they would run much less risk from dry summers and early frosts than they do according to their present system ; they would also have weightier el ops and of a better duality. Fall plough ing is quite as necessary to sprint* crops as summer fallowin g is to f a ll wheat.— IVestern-( Canadian) Mercury. PUBLIC MEETING at WATERFORD in SUP PORTA7f the NATIONAL BANK of IRELAND. On Saturday last, pursuant to notice, a meeting of mer chants, traders, and other inhabitants of this city, was held at Commins's Hotel, for the purpose 'Ol taking into con sideration the propriety. of forming a Branch Bank in Waterford, in connection with the National Bank of Ireland. About two o'clock, on the motion of Mr. JOHN REY.. NOLDS,.of Dublin, who is Secretary to the Company in Ireland, H. Winston Barron, Esq., M. P., was moved to the chair. Mr. REYNOLDS then said, he attended the meeting on the part of the London Board of Management, to explain the objects which they had in view in • forming a bank, to be called the ". National Bank of Ireland." The objects of the Company were two-fold—the first object was, to make money ; and the second, the improvement of the agricultural , and trading classes in this country. It is in tended that the heaS-quarters of the Bank should be in London. The present Board of Management in London is composed of twenty individuals of the first-rate respecta bility—men of great integrity and property—some of the most extensive merchants and bankers in the British me tropolis. They have agreed to form this bank, with a ca pital of one million, to be subscribed in 20,000 shares, at 50/. each. So soon as the 20,000 shares are subscribed for, the Board of Management in London propose to the Irish public—if in any town where the inhabitants wish to esta blish a branch, they create a fund of 50,000/. or 100,0001., or any sum they fix on, the Board are ready to advance a sum similar to it, they, the Board, taking half the net profits. They claim the right of appointing the manager, the local shareholders having the privilege of electing the Directors, subject to the veto of the board in London, and the local directors will enjoy the power of appointing all the subordinate officers. If a branch be established in Water ford, and another in Clonmel, or Cork, or Limerick, or; in fact, in any town in the kingdom—although all the branches will be connected with the bank, in London, they will not be connected with each other, nor liable for the losses, if any, that may occur in any one of the Irish branches. Under the Act of Parliament that the provincial bank is go verned by, every man holding a share is accountable not only for that amount, but for all the debts that the establish ment may owe. It is also intended, in drawing up the deed of settlement, that,.if in any one year a loss of 25 per cent. on the capital advanced should accrue, the local share holders will have the power, if they choose, to dis solve their own branch, and wind up its affairs ; thereby preventing the possibility of losing more than 25 per cent. on the subscribed capital. It is also in tended by the board to appoint an inspector or inspectors for Ireland, whose duty it will be to visit each establish ment, or branch, once every month, to report progress to the board in London. He (Mr. IL) was thus particular in his explanation, A nothing connected with the establish ment could be undeserving of notice. The question for each man to ask is—" Is such a bank wanted or is it not ?" There is no part of the British empire so badly off, with regard to banking accommodation, as I re l an d.—( H ear , hear.) Look to Scotland, with a barren soil, and a po pulation under three millions, enjoying a circulation me dium of 20,000,0001., whereas Ireland, with a population of upwards of eight millions has only a circulating medium of about 7,000,000/. This was a matter in his opinion worthy of serious consideration. There is no country in the world of similar extent, so rich as Ireland is in its natural resources neither is there any country on the face of the globe whose inhabitants. are in greater distress. (Hear, heat, hear.) Nothing among commercial men causes such distress as a want of legitimate banking accommodation: - The Bank of Ireland began with a capital of 600,0001., and the shares which originally cost 1001. are now selling at 2241., the bank dividing 9 per cent. per annum, with a large reserved fund. Another bank—the Provincial Bank—established under the Act of 1826, commenced with a nominal capital of two millions—the shareholders having subscribed only 25 percent. on that sum, so that they paid up only 500,000/., or one fourth of the proposed amount of capital. There are twenty-four branches of that establishment in various towns in Ireland, and they now had in circulation, it was gene rally believed, notes to the amount of three millions—so that they were now trading on credit to the amount of two and a half millions. He did not mean to say or insinuate by these oberservations but that the Provincial Bank was solvent and well-managed--proper and safe. He merely mentioned those facts for the purpose of showing the advan tages of establishing a bank on similar principles. Some time ago a run commenced against the Provincial Bank in Water ford and other places ; it was then the advantages of having the head-quarters in London were fully illustrated. To meet that run, from the respectability, of their directors, they were able to ra i se t wo m illi ons o f sovereigns in one week, without calling in any additi o n a l i ns t a l men t on th e i r shares. They met e run promptly, and although it cost them in the first instance a large sum, yet it afterwards in creased the public confidence so much, that in a very short time their shares increased in value to the amount of.about 30,000/. That which was supposed in the first instance would be destructive, ultimately proved advantageous. Why not we, said Mr. R., do as well as they ? There is room enough for us all.--(Hear, hear.) I feel it my duty to observe, that the highly respectable gentlemen who ori ginated this project are not actuated by any feelinc , of jea lousy or opposition against existing banking establishments ; they look at the matter as purely a mercantile speculation. calculated to remunerate the shareholders, and likely to prove advantageous to the trade, commerce, and agricul ture of Ireland, by developing its almost inexhaustible re sources. And to any man acquainted with Ireland it must be admitted that this is a desirable object. Some, perhaps, have objected to this bank in consequence of its head-quar ters being in London, and others have gone so far as to call it unpatriotic. With great respect. for those who make those objections, I consider them very silly ; and I look upon that part of the arrangement as the very essence of patriotism, inasmuch as the immediate effect will be, the introduction of, one million of British capital into Ireland, or any additional sum which may be required, together with the credit attached to the Board of Management in Lon don, which is composed of some of the first men in mer cantile respectability in that great metropolis. No man feels greater anxiety to vindicate the character of his country than I do ; but still it must be admitted that in banking or moneyed transactions the English. not -only rank before us, but before every part of the civilised globe. For my own part, if the head-quarters of this establishment were in any place but- London, I would entertain but very little hopes of success. Hoping that this explanation will be deemed satisfactory, I have to observe that if any gen tleman present feels inclined to ask me any question con nected with this subject, I am prepared to answer it to the best'of my ability. He (Mr. Reynolds) begged to inform the gentlemen assembled, that Mr. O'Connell intended to be present at the meeting th a t d ay , b u t hi s anx i e ty t o ge t home prevented himhe, however, previous to his departure from Waterford, wrote him (Mr. R.) a letter on the subject, which, he would, with the permission of the meeting, read to them.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Reynolds then read the letter, a copy of which we subjoin as follows : " Waterford, Aug. 16. " My Dear Sir—As I - must leave town this day before our meeting, I wish you to explain my views fully with respect to the ' National Bank of Ireland.' " In the first place my objects have been and arc two-fold. First—l wish to meet the monopoly of the Bank of Ireland, and to be prepared with an establishment to contest, and I hope successfully contest, any claim on behalf of that body to a renewal of exclusive privileges, which are in their nature abusive, and which that body have abused for party and poli tical purposes. Secondly—l wish to extend the accommoda tion of banking to every part of Ireland. The Provincial Bank, as well as the monopoly bank called Bank of Ireland, arc in many places managed by persons who give improper facilities to political partisans, and refuse assistance to men of industrious hilbits for the opposite reason. I would not have bills discounted, because of the good politics of the owners, but I would have good bills discounted, no matter what may be the political' opinions of the parties holding them ; in short, the great object of my plan is to exclude from our banking all political preferences and rejections, and to have it confined to a purely mercantile speculation. " It must be recollected that there are two other leading and paramount objects to_ be provided for. The_first is—the security of the holders of the notes of the new bank ; these notes will come into the hands of poor people, whose ruin it would be if there was any Stoppage . of payment. The rich do not hoard bank notes—the poorer classes necessarily do so to the extent of their humble means we are bound in conscience to take such precautions as would render it impossible for the poor to suffer. This is to be obtained only by a reserve fund in proper handi acquainted with all the details of business. For this purpose there must be one million subscribed in Lon don ; this will secure a fund to meet every contingency ; it will give credit in London, and a mode of paying our notes there, an advantage which no Bank in Ireland at present pos sesses in that direct manner. It will do more, because the superintendance and head management being in London in the hands of the subscribers of the million, they will, for their own sakes, watch as the managers of the Provincial Bank do ; every local establishment will carry on that system of super. vision and accurate investigation of tho transactions of each locality as well as secure the concern from improper issues, waste, or 'spoliation. The 'London head establishment, whilst it leaves other details to each local branch, will appoint and take security for the good conduct of all issuing managers, that is--of all such persons as could injure the concern by an improper or wasteful issue of the notes. The second is the security of the shareholder. " It is to be observed that every shareholder must render himself liable to all the notes and engagements of the National Bank to the extent of the connexion with it. Let this be dis tinctly understood. Let no shareholder h e d e l u d e d or de- ceived—wheever subscribes to the million in London, will be liable to the extent of his whole property to all the notes and engagements of the concern all over Ireland—whoever sub scribes to the shares of any Local Branch will be liable to the extent of his whole property for the notes and engagements of that branch. This must be distinctly understood. lam the more explicit on this subject, that no person may complain of _ _ being deceived ; and also bee.iiise I perceive that the wild scheme Of -what is called " the Commercial *and Agricultural Bank," holds out a promise of limiting the liability of share holders. As a lawyer and an horiestman; lam bound to de nounce that delusion—the partnership as between the partners themselves may be dissolved by losses to a particular amount, but as between the partners and the public the liability neces sarily continues for all the notes and engagements to be issued before actual and public dissolution of the partnership. " The mode of our acting will be to confine such liability to each local branch in all its engagements. Whatever amount shall be subcribed in each locality, a similar amount of ; credit will be given by the London branch, they doubling the - re sources of each branch. There will, therefore, be a partner ship between each local branch and the London branch ; but none between the local branches themselves. The London establishment will superintend all, but will have separate and distinct partnership with each, but without involVing any part nership between each branch. " The plan includes perpetual supervision—once a month the affairs of each branch will be investigated, and more than one month's mismanagement rendered impossible. It will be necessary to render the expenses of each local branch as light as possible. ‘‘ I will not consent to bring the plan into operation in Ire and, until the million is subscribed in Ireland ; as the branches extend the subscription in London will be extended to. any amount that may be subscribed i n Ireland. I trust I shall see a Branch B an k in every town in Ireland, giving cash credits and. facilities of capital, wherever security against loss can be obtained, and a reasonable interest by way of profit on the advances. " In short, you will explain the grounds of solid security on which we are to act. The success of the Provincial Bank proves the facility with which another Bank, conducted with the same care—managed upon the same mercantile principles, and sustained by twice, nay four times the amount of capital, may prosper to the profit of the shareholders, and the great utility of the Irish public. " So much of confidence has been reposed in me that I feel it a duty, though,a painful one, to caution all those who may deem my advice instructive, against 'embarking in the wild scheme of the " Commercial and Agricultural Bank"—a scheme, in my judgment, containing in itself the seeds of destruction, without any guarantee for general good manage ment, and without any security whatsoever against a panic, or general demand for cash, in exchange for its notes. " There are many points on which I should wish to warn the public against that scheme. But none more decisive than the delusion held out upon the point of limiting the liability of shareholders. The men are honest who hold out this delusion, because they are themselves deceived, and_ I see in the news papers names of persons of the highest personal integrity thus deceived. But after all, dO they reflect that' if they should shift off the responsibility for losses from themselves, thcy would throw those losses on the public ? In other words, they would 'rob the public to the extent of such losses. I trust you will go from place to place to explain these matters fully. Yo u may pled ge y ourse lf t h at we will not.be gin our banking opera tions until we have secured the public as well as the share holders from eventual loss. Procure subscribers for these pur poses without delay. " Believe me to be, yours very faithfully, " DANIEL O'CONNELL. " John Reynolds, Esq., Secretary and Agent to the National Bank." Having read this letter, and explained to you, (said Mr. R.) the principles on which it is intanded to establish this National Bank, it is for the persons present to decide how they will act. If they think the advantages likely to result from it will be beneficial to themselves and the country, which I think they will, they can now appoint a committee, with power to add to their numbers, for the purpose of com mencing the formation of a branch of it in this city. The CHAIRMAN said he would briefly explain his reasons why he thought it his duty to attend the meeting ; he thought it the more necessary as he was not one, as the meeting was aware, who was in the habit of speculating in money matters. It was his firm conviction that there was a wide field open for the new Banking Company, as the cir culating medium in Ireland was entirely too narrow and limited ; to prove which the Hon. Gentleman adduced several instances. He then dwelt on the mischievous effects of Peel's Currency Act of 1819, which he designated as of the most injurious tendency to the landed, commercial, and labouring classes of this country, and which was brought about by one of the foulest and most abomi nable Acts that ever passed the Legislature. He next ad duced Scotland's thriving condition as. proof of the advan tages of extending banking accommodation upon a firm and safe basis : he also alluded to the advantage Ireland possessed over England, in being able to extend its circulwing me dium by one-pound notes. After some further observa tions on the great benefits likely to result from the in tended bank, to this country generally, he hoped all allu sion to other banking establishments would be avoided by my gentleman who might address the meeting. There is room enough (said Mr. B.) for us all—the principal ob ject should be to unite all parties, and he hoped every man present, and the people at large in this country, would lend their aid to promote the common good which is likely to re sult from the establishment of a bank on the principles of the one now under diScussion. Mr. W. AYLWARD wished to know who were the ori ginators of the bank. He saw the names of eleven Mem bers of Parliament on the list of Directors, and he did not know whether they were men of business or not, or whether they had succeeded to their wealth by business. Mr. REYNOLDS, in reply, said that some of them were bankers and brewers. He felt no hesitation in say ing that no project could be got up by persons of more respectability than those he had alluded to ; and it may be very readily believed that those gen tlemen would not embark their properties and character in the undertaking until they were fully satisfied and convinced of its ultimate success. With respect to the ohservations relative to existing banks, he did not see why there should be such delicacy in curtailing their profit, or snaking any fair remarks on them ; those banks had no right to hold exclusively the purse-strings of the nation.— (Hear, hear.) Previous to Mr. O'Connell giving his sanc tion to this gigantic project, he in qu i re d whether he was in " good company," and he required that security should be Oven in, the sum of 1,000,000 before he recommended the plan to the people over whom he exercised such considerabh control. A conversation then ensued, in which Mr. Alexander Sherlock, Mr. Nugent O'Reilly, Mr. T. F. Carroll, Mr. Smithwick, of Kilkenny, the Chairman, and other gentle- men took part. A series of resolutions, which will be found in our advertising columns, were then passed unanimously ; a committee, with power to add to their numbers, was appointed, after which, Mr. Barron having vacated the chair, Alexander Sherlock, Esq., was called thereto, and the thanks of the meeting returned to Mr. Barron for his very proper and impartial conduct in the chair. The gentlemen assembled then separated.

Ever and anon a dapper do mestic presented him with a plateful, and the good deputy, deeming himself bound in politeness to swallow all, ate till he could hold no longer. At the next plateful he turned and ad (lrssed the servant, " Monsieur Mignon, I never eat but of One dish at niy dinner, yet you are not contented with forcing meZto swallow a hundred." The reply caused much amuse ment at the royal table.—Paris Paper. Since July 29 not a drop of rain had fallen at Paris till last evening, when a shower of extraordinary duration and violence fell upon the capital and inundated several quarters. At the Pointe St. Eustache, and in the Rue Montmartre as far the Passage du Saumon, the water rose so high, that it entered into the othnibuses, and the d ogs were swimming in the streets, and in the houses it was two feet deep. The mouths of sewers were blocked up by the straw and other matter borne down by the torrent, and when they were un unstopped, it took two hours to carry off the water.—Paris Paper of Thursday: MouNT VESUVIUS. Intelligence from Naples, dated the 29th ult., states that " the volcanic eruption from Mount Vesuvius, which had continued uninterruptedly till the 24th, had not recurred, and it was consequently presumed to be quite at an end. In the morning of the 18th instant, two new and small craters, which had formed on the sides of the larger ones,• sent forth volumes of ashes and stones. In tho evening, after a tremendous earthquake upon the mountains, four discharges of lava took place from the old crater, in front of Torre del Greco. 'lbis was followed by immense columns of smoke and fire from the larger orifice, which enveloped the whole country in impenatrable darkness. In the afternoon of • the 19th, three new streams broke out from the old crater, while the former ones continued to pour forth their liquid torrents for a mile in length. In the old crater two canals were formed, from which volcanic matter poured like water. At seven in the evening the lava ceased to flow, but immense discharges of ashes, fire, and stones continued. On the 20th, the columns of smoke darkened the air all around; towards midnight, after an interval of repose, the lava again burst forth from no less than fourteen different openings, In the midst of terrific roars, immense masses of fire, stones and water were ejected, and the bright full moon became invisible.
