The first meeting of Country Bankers on the great question at issue between them and the Bank of England, took place yesterday at the London Tavern. It was strictly private, being, in fact, en tirely of a preliminary nature, for the purpose merely of coming to wimp determination with respect to the proper mode of proceeding. Their assembling in London has been brought about by circulars ad dressed to all parts of England, at the suggestion of some leading members of the country banking busi ness. In these circulars it was proposed, that the provincial bankers should arrange themselves into districts, and at meetings convened with that spe cific object, elect delegates to represent them in London, and concert proper measures for the pro tection of their interests. The extent to which this call has been answered, proves how completely the attention of the country banking interest has been roused to this subject. There is no district, froni the Tweed to the Land's end, which has not a re presentative now in London. North and South Wales have also sent delegates, one of them is from Wrex ham,, the other from Glamorgan. The combination of interest naturally attracts a great degree of public at tention to the issue, not to mention that arising from the novelty of the proceeding, which is one, we believe, altogether without precedent. Froth 80 to 100 country bankers attended the preparatory meeting of yesterday, and much discussion, we understand, took place respecting the ulterior measures to 'be adopted. The actual business of the meeting, however, was confined to the appoint ment of a committee, consisting of 16 country ban= kers, of which Sir John Wrottesley was elected Chairman, and John Easthope, Eq. , M.P., Hono rary Secretary. This committee will be employed in the preparation of certain resolutions suitable to the matter at issue, which are to be submitted to, and undergo full discussion at, a general meeting of the body . of _delegated country bankers. These resolutions will, of course, set forth the specific - ground of complaint against the Bank of England, and develope the form of proceeding by which the country bankers expect to counteract its influence, so far as it is exercised in a manner injurious to their interests. ANOTHER. ACCOUNT. The .Meeting of Country Bankers from all the provincial towns of the kingdom was held yesterday at the London Tavern. So much interest was ex cited as to the nature of the proceedings, that many persons endeavoured to remain in the room, who were not entitled to be there. A scrutiny was accordingly instituted, each individual being com pelled to give in his name and residence, and all who were found not to. be connected as partners with any provincial Banking Establishment were excluded. This operation took place after Sir'John Wrottesley had been appointed Chairman of the Meeting; and in consequence of a motion to that effect, Mr. East hope, M.P., of the Stock Exchange, and of St. Al ban's, was nominated Secretary, and the individuals present, amounting to nearly one hundred, proceed ed, as we understood, to the discussion of several propositions relating to the Bank Establishments of the Bank of England in different parts of the court ,t, y. Some observations were . also made, if we are corned)? informed on the subject,. of the intention of the Directors to diminish the quantity of notes in circulation, The, debates upon these Copies were protracted and animated, and the 'fleeting did not separate until five o'clock.

RANGER, of this place, has just suc ceeded in perfecting an invention, which is intended to be substituted for bricks or stone, and may perhaps eventually supersede their use. It is an artifici al stone , m uch harder than bricks or stone, being equal in du ra bility to granite, and it has also the advantage of being considerably cheaper. Mr. RANGER, has been occupied a considerable time in bringing this 'discovery to perfection, which ho has now so far accomplished, that it is his intention to employ it alto gether in the first building which he may erect. It is capable of being modelled to any shae, and in any way that may be desired, and has, when put up, the appearance of Portland stone; of course no cement is required in the construction of buildings in which it is employed.- - 86914474 qaxettc. COVENT-C4ARDEN THEATRE. A Mr. Diddear what a name To swell the speaking -trump of future fame!) made his first bow last night at this theatre as Po lixencs, in the " Winter's Tale." His name is.the worst part about this gentleman, but as this is a mere nominal objection, it will not, we presume, weigh very heavily against him. In the ease and confidence of his deportinent he appears to be a practitioner of some standing ;- and if he did not bring any first-rate ability to his part, he brought all that it required. His figure is tall and well-pro, portioned; and by his selection of such a moderate character as Polixenes for his dcbut, he evinced as. much judgment as modesty. Mr. Young was Leontes, and gave , striking effect to that fine pas sage, "Go play, boy, play." The whole - drama, however, is decidedly unfit for representation, it is too poetical, too imaginative; its best parts, which read so -beautifully in the closet (we allude to the sweet pastoral touches of which the loves of Florizel and Perdita are almost wholly made up, particularly that exquisite passage about the flowers) are pre . - cisely those which tell worst on the stage. Autolycus, that paragon of pedlars—is more intelligible to an audience, but even his peculiar humour is better understood in the quiet leisure of the study. The lapses,' too, in point of time, are .somewhat too startling for a sober English play-goer; and had Byron witnessed such a profanation of his darling unities—which Dr.' Johnson with more liberality than " was his wont," has ably canvassed and decided, against in his discriminating criticisms on Shakspeare —his Lordship, we . conceive, would never have survived the exhibition. Miss Jarman made a very tragic - Perdita; this is bad taste; Perdita was a s imple,•playful, rustic beauty,. full of flowers and sen-: timent. She was neither of the Belvideran or Mrs. Haller school; a piece of information which Miss Jarman has yet to learn. Mr. Raymond's Florizel —with the exception of his voice, which resembled the c lattering of a jack-chain —was a sensible and judicious performance. We recommend him, how ever, before he again attempts this character—to act up to the spirit .of Shakspeare's remark—" how silver sweet Sound lovers' tongues by night," and he will then leave us nothing to condemn. The re maining characters were performed, as usual, with OLYMPIC THEATRE. The new aquatic melodrame, entitled " Casco flay,' or the Mutineers of 1727," is really a very superior performance. The incidents throughout are interesting, without being' outrageous, and turn chiefly on the mutiny of a ship's crew, who combine to murder a rich passenger, hut are subsequently wrecked, which last incident - is brought before the audience in a truly surprising and spirited mariner. An apparently full-sized ship, with a numerous crew on board, founders under the very nose of the au dience, and went down last night scarce twelve inches off an old woman who was selling bottled porter in the pit. In addition to this glorious ship wreck, a Mr. Richards, while singing a comic song, "makes faces, humorous and varied enough to set up six full-fledged clowns for life. It is on record that Lucian died of laughter at seeing a donkey cat thistles; could he by any possibility get a "day rule" from tbe shades for the purpose of seeing Mr. Richards, the sight would kill his very ghost.— " Come then expressive silence, muse his praise."

THE LORD MAYOR, Whitehall, Dec. 4. My L'rd,—l have to request your Lordship's attention to a subject connected with the character of the police of the metropolis, and therefore one of general importance. Your Lordship is aware that it has for some days past been generally and confidently stated, that after a robbery of great magnittide of property belonging to the Warwick Bank, the property so lost has been recovered through the agency of a police-officer, who is charged with being guilty of compounding a felony. From the inquiries which I have hitherto bear enabled to make, it does not appear that there is any foundation for such a charge, as applied to the police-officers attached to 'any of the establishments in Westminster. but conceiving it to be of the utmost importance that it should not past unnoticed, and that if the charge is true the guilty party should be brought to justice, I have directed a lettei to he addressed to the Magistiates of the several police-offices, de siring., them immediately to make further and s t r i c t i nqu i ry into 'the conduct of their officers with reference to such im putations, and to report to me the result of their inquiry. I would also beg leave to suggest to your Lordship the expe4ietico of directing that a similar inquiry should be instituted with regard to the conduct of the officers of the police of the city of London, if such a measure has not been already adopted. A n d if, on suc h inquiry, it should be prov e d that any police-officer has been implic ated, directly or indire c tl y , in the transaction ab ove alluded to, I have t o r equ e st th a t your L or d s hip will make known to me the circumstan ces o f the case, that proper measures may be taken agai ns t the offender. —I have, &c.

Gentlemen, —A statement, as you are aware, has been for some days past generally and confidently made, that after a robbery of great magnitude of property belonging to the Warwick Bank, the property so lust has been recovered through the agency of a police-officer, who is charged with being guilty of compounding a felony. From the inquiries which Lord Lansdowne has hitherto been enabled to make, it does not appear that there is any foundation for such a charge, as applied to the officers of any of the police-officer. But conceiving it to be of the utmost importance that such a statement should not pass unnoticed, and that if the charge is true the guilty party should be brought to justice, his Lordship desires that you will immediately make a strict inquiry into the conduct,of your officers with reference to such imputation, and that you will report the result of your inquiry to me for his Lorgship's information. I am, Ecc., (Signed) S. 111. PHILLIPPS. (Copy ) The Lord Mayor has the honour to acknowledge the re ceipt of Lord Lansdowne's letter of yesterday's date, and will cause an immediate inquiry t o ta k e place o n the sub ject his Lordship has adverted to ; an d t h e r esult will be reported to his Lordship as early as possible.

The Earl of Derby's Stag-hounds meet to-morrow, at Hayes Common.' We direct attention to an Advertisement in our first page, respecting Mr. J. P. CLARK'S fortunate invention for curing that universal disturber—the tooth ache. We call his invention fortunate because we h ave never seen or heard of any other system by which a complete cure could be effected—and we know, from personal experience, that Mr. CLARK'S plan is infallible. We can say no more—but should any of our readers have any misgiving on a subject so painful, they will have it agreeably removed by personal application, without the danger of removing any portion of that first Abject of female solicitude—the teeth.

DREADFUL ACClDENT.—Yesterday. even ing,s about half-past five o'clock, Mr. HUNT, of Kilburn, stopped his horse and gig, and leaving them in the care of a man, he entered Exeter 'Change, for the purpose of viewing the exhibition. of wild beasts. During hie absence, the individual in whose care it was left took off the horse's bridle, for the purpose of giving it some hay, which he went to procure at some distance from the spot. The animal, which is very spirited, took fright, and started off towards St. Mary-le-Strand Church, with alarming 'peed, to the imminent danger of the pas stingers. An old lady and h er d aug h ter , proceed i ng along near Exeter 'Change, were struck by the wheel and severely injured. The son of Mr. Hortr, author of The Every Buy Book, proceeding along the Strand, and perceiving the danger, endeavoured to get eat of the way; but be was knocked down, and his head striking violently against the stones, he was severely hurt. The young man, on being restsred to his senses, was conveyed in a hackney ccach to the residence cf his parent, In a very alarming con dition. While Mr. KE NNY, of Messrs. STAN TO Nand KENNY'S was attending upon Mr. Hone, two other young men were brought in senseless, having been knocked down and run over. A y oung woman met with a s i m il a r f a t e . The animal c on ti nue d t o run w i th great spee d until stopped by a man, who courageous l y rushed forwar d, and pinned him by the nese, when Mr. HuNT, who bad been alarmed, came and owned th e property- lie afterwards proceeded to the house of Messrs. heard some of the injured part i es b a d been taken. He left his name and address, and pledged himself to make them every reparation. -- S TAtyros and KENN V, where he [LNG. SPIRIT OF TF PUBLIC JOURNALS eve T ry he pr c a o ct u i n ca tr l y r w et i: e l n s cm e h e, with extrem e plea sure too, the professio . fit of the Ministers to effect . verifled, so far as they may be by a prompt and imp ortent measure, by a happy beginning. Th e Y em naeter Cavalry of England were assembled at a period and under cireunistancem totally different from the present, and no other circumstances having sprung' tip . to supply the place of those which have long since teased to exist, it is evident that the effect should cease slsoi and the Cavalry in question be dissolved. Far tee it from us to reflect upon these domestic troops any of the suspicion which may have attached to them originally respecting the cause of their formation. They came forward: in sincerity of heart to eetvw their country at a time when they thought their services might be necessary : but we verily believe that one motive with the Minister of the day for calling them together, was to spread a panic in the country, in order that ender the impression of that panic be mi g ht the more easily obtain subsidies for foreign Posers ; of which subsidieS we feel the burden at the present day. However, the landed gentlemen bear this burden with cheerfulness, no doubt; being pledged to expend even their last guinea in the war. To the landed interest, however, the dissolution of then Yeomanry Cavalry is a relief, as it is composed chiefly of their tenantry ; and to the country, also, it operates to the removal of no unimportant expense at this period of pressure. The Circu lar, to be seen in. this day's paper, by which the intention to dissolve the body is announced, adopts those terms of respect with which men deserve to be addressed, who have endeavoured to serve their country with great personal incon , venience, and at considerable private . expense. " It is intended," says the Circular,- " to releasc from their present military engagements, all the corps of Yeomanry in those districts where it has been found, from the experience of the last ten years, they have been very seldom or power." The Tthh e o e e h rsee ol e ii , sn a t li tgl e ir r ee e a f m o t Llt, never called upon t o ac t in aid cef. the civil t to be liability t d ri i s e s t ° s, l v e ‘ i v i 1 . 1 e r e pular tumult, will be retained; and the rest, is also propeiete observe, are to be released from their engagements with all the honours of war •,; _ _ . . it being his Majesty's pleasure, " that the offi cers of every Yeomanry Corps now existing should retain the rank mid honours belonging to their respective commissions." We have no doubt but that, the Yeomanry will feel highly gratified at this honourable discharge from mili .tary services, and the country will be thankful for this earnest, feeble though it may be, of a disposition, or rather a determination, to alleviate its burdens. The subject has surely deserved this notice.—Times. We insert with pleasure, and with the humbla tribute of our approbation, two letters addressed by the Marquis of Lansdowne to the L(.9r4 Mayor, and to the Magistrates of the several Police-offices, on the imputed agency of certain subordinate persons in their establishments, in effecting an arrangement between the robbers and the robbed. SUch a system of compromise is not only dreadful in itself, but will inevitably lead to the most horrible consequences ; it. will tend to exalt thieves into the character and station of chapmen and dealers ; and will remove what ought •to be the eternal barrier between honesty and roguely. After giving the subject of the police all the consideration we are able, we can not help thinking that more might be done for prevention and disCovery of crime than is done. If the system be deficient, let it be amended. If Magistrates, through habit, are become easy in die execution of their office, let theM be excited. Parochial authorities also might do much in the indictment of infamous houses. Thc---erate - Of our streets as to abandoned women is scandalous. What a disgrace to the city is Temple Bar on the Eastern side every night ! The low price of ardent spirits is a desperate evil, which looks for correction from a higher quarter. • But, particu larly on the restitution of stolen property through the mediation of those who are employed to take the thieves,—the subject with which we began, — we hope the most severe investigation will take place. Some additional facts may transpire ere long.—lbid. At the Meeting of the Catholic Association on Saturday last, Mr. Shiel commenced -a bril liant speech as follows :—" I gave notice that f should move an humble Address to the Arch bishops, Bishops, Deans, Archdeacons, and other functionaries of the Church, respectfully submitting to their consideration the anti apostolic condition of the Establishment ; and praying them, with a view to their own salvation, to reduce their wealth within the dimensions of Christianity, and to -some correspondence with the precepts of that holy bobk, of which they so zealously propagate the diffusion." The rest of the speech, as our readers will see from the re port in another column, was in the same strain. Mr. Shiel quotes the observation of Palcy—"' do not know that it has over been insinuated that the Christian Mission in the hands of the History conformity i tg Apostles was a scheme for malting a fortu ne or getting money," with a view , w e su pp ose, to show that schemes for making a f o rtune or get sti a n d l u i be a t a rnyd o ting money are incompatible with the Christian n -Mission. It would seem that the notio was once , doc trinesie)te ttevrete ; between for,e the n it practice t a ai that et E t c lei Ecclesiastical oc r there of Euse hius, we find poverty made uniformly the test of orthodoxy. or instance, it is deemed sufficient to convict a teacher of heresy.—." This is he (we quote from ari old translation) which, under pre tence and colour of oblations, hath cunningly in vented the art of bribing ;this is lie w h ich giveth great lure unto the preachers of his doctrine, that by feeding of the paunch, his prophecies, may prevail., Doth not the whole Scripture forbid that a prophet should receive rewards and- mo ney ? When, as Christ commanded, you shall not possess gold, neither silver, neither two coats; these, on the contrary; seek after the possession of unlawful substance. We have decked that they whom they call prophets and martyrs have extqrted money, not only of the rich, but of the poor, the fatherless, and the widows." But we take m ore e nlightened views of these matters than the Apostles and primitive Fathers did. We arc of the new light, the light of Lord Plunkett, who contended, by a sort of Irish logic, in the' House of Commons, that a departure from the doctrines of Christianity was the only way t o secure its existence. In that work, which is con sidered the most classical in Italy, there i s a story of a Jew, who, when pressed by a friend to embrace the Christian Religion, resolved, be fore coming to a determination, to make a jour ney to Rome. Giannotto (the friend) seeing him determined , s aid God be with you ; an d supposing that he would never be a Chris tian after he had seen R erne, gives him over for lost. 11 Jew takes. horse, anti makes the best of his way to Rome, .where I ~] "*"" ,~Zr .'
