Also at Park-place, Kennington-cross, in the house of Mr. Noakes, linendraper, considerable damage to stock, furniture, and shop partly destroyed. On the premises of Mr. Gyles, a baker, Nelson-street, Blackfriars-road. Also at Messrs. Reynolds and Co.'s, wharfingers, Napping—insurances only known in the County and Sun offices.

MARYLEBONE BANK OF SAVINGS, 76, WELBECK STREET, CAVENDISH-SQUARE.—The 24th annual general meeting of this institution was held yesterday, at the office, 76, Welbeck-street, Cavendish-square ; the Rev. John Hume Spry, D.D., in the chair. It appeared from the several reports read to the meeting that the progress of the bank during the past year had been of a satisfactory description, no less than 2,611 new deposits having been made in the last year ; 23,308 deposit ac counts remained open on the 20th of November last, of which 17,836 held balances av eraging less than 301.08.3 d. each. The sum in the hands of the Government on the 20th of November, 1853, as per receipt from National Debt Office, signed by Mr. Higham, and laid before the meeting, was 367,9731. 2s. 3d. ; in the hands of the treasurer, Sir Claude Edward Scott, Bart., whose ac knowledesinent was likewise produced, 2,0491. 7s. sd. ; total, 370,0221. 9s. Bd. The balance due to depositors at that date, as per balance-sheets produced, 369,7551. 16s. Od. Surplus, 2661. 13s. Bd. THE TAYLEUR.—A letter from Douglas, Isle of Man, dated the 31st ult., says that during the two previous days a large quantity of wreck had been washed on the south shore of the island, at Langness Point, St. Mary, the Sound of the Calf, and Port Erin, consisting of new planks, deals, and battens, to the number of about 1000; also several empty packages, some marked with the name of " Tayleur ;' also a cask of oil, capable of holding about 36 gallons, and the mark "N. R. G. in in a dia mond, and a large case lid or door, marked " A. H. M. —36 ;" also a box lid, with "G. Betts, ship Tayleur, Melbourne ;" also a mahogany table, with the name " Archibald M. Lam." No doubt exists as to their being part of the wreck of the unfortunate Tayleur, and they have consequently been secured for the benefit of the underwriters. LONDON AND COUNTY JOINT-STOCK BANK.—The or dinary general meeting of the proprietors of the London and County Joint-Stock Bank was held yesterday. The balance sheet exhibited a net profit upon the business of the establishment for the past half-year, after making ample provision for bad and doubtful debts, of 33,2561. 13s. 5d., which, with 8,5201. 4s. 3d. brought forward as a surplus on the half-year ending the 30th of June, gives a total of 41,776/, 17s. Bd. From this amount the directors carry 13,2381. 4s. 3d. to the credit of the re serve fund, thereby increasing it to 58,9031. ss. 10d. Upon the recommendation of the directors a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent, per annum for the past half-year was declared, with a bonus of 4 per cent. (equal to a 10 per cent. dividend on the year), both free of income tax, This left the sum of 1,3421. 7s. 9d., which the proprietors, acting upon the recommendation of the board, decided should be thus applied—viz., 3831. 14s. 61, being 1 per cent. on the year's dividend, to the credit of the provident fund, and 9581. 13s. 3d. added to the guarantee fund. The guarantee fund now amounts to 59,8611. 19s. ld. The meeting was afterwards made special, when the resolution passed in the year 1840 at a general meeting of the proprietors, reducing the capital of the company from the amount of 2,000,0001., as fixed by the deed et settlement, to 1,000,0001., and the num ber of shares from 40,000 to 20,000, was rescinded. The retiring directors were re-elected. ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON.—At a monthly general meeting held yesterday at the society's house in Hanover-square, Mr. W. J. Broderip, vice-president, in the chair, Captain G. C. Morgan and Messrs. F. C. Morgan, T. Reynolds, H. C. James, G. C. Schutz, and H. B. Quick were elected Fellows of the society ; and Messrs. T. C. Thompson, F. R. Lee, J. St. G. Burke, H. Ingram, John Hawkshaw, H. Rosher, J. H. Lewis, J. Lambert, R. N. Newcomb, R. Crosby, E. C. Hamp ten, and M. H. Pasteur were proposed as candidates for the fellowship. The report of the council announced, among other interesting facts, that another leucoryx and another Eland fawn had been produced in the menagerie. The herd of Elands bequeathed to the society by the late Earl of Derby have thus increased to eight in number in the course of the last 12 months. The collection of carnivora received yesterday a most important and striking addition in the pair of Indian lions which have been presented by Sir Erskine Perry, the l Justice of Bombay. These are the first specimens of this animal (felis goojeratensis) which have ever been in the possession of the society ; and the species has now become so rare in India that they have been procured with the greatest difficult. The society is indebted to Sir Henry } Lesk o for the favour of their transmission from Bomay t Suez, whence they were despatched oyerland through Alexandra. MINES. MAGAZINES FOR THE MONTH. Blackwood. —As the principal attraction of Maya, we must still continue to speak first of all, of " The Quiet Heart ;" that charming and beau tiful tale of domestic life, penned, as every line indicates, by a warm-hearted, clear-minded, ani mated, gifted, Scottish gentlewoman. The lover of travel will find in the number of Blackwood, the number for February, materials calcu lated to exercise over their fancy a scarcely resistible fascination. They ;will find them selves carried far into the African regions by one article relating to " Abyssinian Aberrations" — and far into Ceylon, by another paper following in the track of " A Sporting Settler"—and far into the Ottoman Empire (a theme of enthralling interest just now !) by a third contribution, affording us an acceptable " Glance at Turkish History"—and by a fourth chapter of a kindred kind pretty well over the whole surface of the globe, a chapter (this last) entitled " Fifty Years in both Hemispheres." Besides the articles already mentioned, each of which will be found most read able, and fraught with instruction as well as with sources of amusement. We may mention, as to our mind, abominably hypercritical, a chapter .on " Gray's Poetry and Letters," and as rather spite ful, and, to our thinking, undeservedly severe, a review of " Macaulay's Speeches." In addition to all which, Maya for the present month contains a clever chapter on art, relating to the " National Gallery" and its organisation. Fraser.—lt is observable that in the new number of Fraser two of our younger poets—Coventry Pat more and Frederick Tennyson present to the public two very graceful poetic contributions. Pat more's being " Night and Sleep," and Tennyson's " The Bridal." Another young poet of our gene ration receives this month every attention from one of the most able reviewers in Regina. The criticism referred to being entitled, "Poems by Matthew Arnold." Two new serials are commenced—one by a First Paper on " Ruskin's Stones of Venice," the other by No. I. of " Researches in Dutch Literature." Two others are continued—by a second paper on " The Decline and Fall of the Corporation of London," and by another instal ment of " General Bounce, or the Lady and the Locusts." Besides those we have had leisure and , -space to particularise, the are in Fraser for-Feb ruary several other amusing and intelligent contri butions. Colburn's New Monthly.—The admirers of Ger man literature will find the first article in this number attractive. It is a criticism on the writings of Gotthold Ephraim Lessing. It appears that one of Coleridge's unfulfilled literary designs was an elaborate biography of this author.. " Annabel Anuesley's First Valentine" is a lively and amus ing tale, by the author of "The Unholy Wish," and presents a moral which many young ladies would do well to consider. A notice of "oore's Diary" gives several extracts, and contradicts the assertion that the memoirs were not intended for publication in their present state. " Mick Cassidy's Boots" is a lively Irish tale, by Dudley Costello. No. XI. of "American Authorship" is devoted to the historian Wm. H. Prescott. A letter from the Ame rican land of gold gives a picture of the Californian Indians. Another of the singular " Tales of my Dragoman" describes how Mahomet was induced to turn prophet. " Further Extracts from the Com mon place Book of a Late Author" are in no way remarkable. There are papers on the " Glaciers of Norway" and the " Pass of Spleughen." The only poetical contribution is a love song from the pen of J. E. Carpenter, possessing no great ori ginality. Co/burn's United Service.—The United Service opens with a paper on " The Shrapnel." It is about fifty years since this instrument of destruc tion was invented by Henry Shrapnel, a captain of artillery, from whom it derived its name. The idea is a very simple one. It consists in plac ing within a spherical shell as many bullets as it will contain, and adding just sufficient powder to burst the shell. Durinc , the late war they were only used by the British, but the secret has been discovered, and most of the conti nental nations now use them. A memoir of Ra detsky will attract attention at this season. " Fitz- Gubin ; a Sketch of Life at Sea," is, as its name im plies, of a comic description. "A. Treatise on Small Arms," is continued from page 119, and there is another instalment of the " Memoirs of the late Major Macready." There are also papers on the " Military Colleges in France," and the late " War in Mexico." Bentley's Miscellany.—A paper on the unfortu nate Dauphin Louis XVII. commences thiS num ber. It is accompanied by a portrait of its. subject. The writer justly observes that most other State crimes, such as the murder of Prince Arthur or the sons of Edward IV., are attributable to some direct motive, or were acts of private vengeance or fear. Bnt the ill-usage and death of Louis XVII. offers no extenuating circumstance, or even the excuse of expediency. " Aspen Court" progresses, though the events are limited to the rehearsal and appearance of the drama of Bernard Carlyon, and the discovery_ of Angela Livingsta4e's parentage. I The hero and heroine appear likelrt4 misunder stand each other. " Arthur Arden" is continued, with some curious events. At the present moment many will peruse with interest an account of the " Campaign of the Turks on the Danube 80 Years ago." " Random Recollections of Campaigns under the Duke of Wellington" promises an excit ing scene next month, in the storming of Badajos. An entertaining sketch of " Margaret of Navarre," the sister of Francis 1., takes a very favourable view of her character. The first part of " Haps and Mishaps of a Tour in Europe in 1853," by an Ameri can authoress, Grace Greenwood, presents the attrac ton of a description . of M. Otto Goldschmidt, about whom so much curiosity was excited. Dublin University.—There are two chapters of " Sir Jasper Carew" this month, which are very melancholy. The hero meets with his old friend of childhood, Margot, and she introduces him to all her acquaintances and friends. Of the latter; however, she had not many, and her enemies used every means to destroy her. We leave her in de. feat and disgrace, her rival performing the part that had been her masterpiece. In " A Second Peep at the Garrick Club," the interesting accomits of its departed celebrities are continued. " The Dismal Mute" is a most lugubrious affair. It is rather obscure also, and no ono can fail to echo the wish expressed in the last verse, " that the mute may never draw near to our funeral bier, nor walk in our burial train." " The Spirit of the Snow," by Denis Florence Macarthy, is a very pleasing composition. "My Third Flight, or a Visit to the great Anthropophagus and his Domi nions," continues the account of the excursions into hobby land. It is on the subject of Russia ; and the anger of the beholder is great on seeing represented the two united fleets riding at anchor drinking the healths of their friends and protegees, while the guns of the Anthropophagus were blow ing them to atoms. The attendant spirit observed he was sorry to distress him, but the flag of one of the allies was known to him. The latter indig nantly exclaimed—" This cannot be the flag of England ; this cannot be the flag that has braved a thousand years the battle and the breeze.' " Ainsworth.—" Nicholas Flamer proceeds as usual. The " Seven Ages of Poverty and Crime" conclude tragically. It is a dismal tale, pointing no very distinct moral, as it is not very clear how the wretched criminal could have hem arrested in his career of vice and misery. The present instalment of the series of " Queer People" treats of a very disagreeable class, the "candid friend" of famous memory. A notice of the recent work of " Forest Life in Ceylon" is enlivene d by extracts. The " Skeleton in the Hous!3" is a similar idea to that introduced by Thackeray in his last n umber of the " Newcomer." I t is not so impressive here. " Wherein was Wellington great ?" is a question which it is rather late to ask, but the wri▪ ter answers it satisfactorily. The romantic tale of " Hereward of Brunne" is continued. There are two entertain ing papers on " German Popular Literature," an d Royal Amusements in I There • no poetry this month. Critikshank's.—Ag brilliant as the fir s t num ber of this new favourite led us t o . hope it would be—is its continuation. " F e bruary does not, of course, bring us another glo rious comet .like that of January as a frontis piece. But it spreads out before us a wonderful folding illustration by our immortal George—a marv el of fun, what the Adelphi play-bills would ca ll "a regular screamer"—entitled. " Elephantine Performances." Fancy an elephant-beadle ! and an elephant-clown ! and an elephant-harlequin ! and a Scotch reel of elephants ! and an elephant tight-rope dancer ! and an elephant-manager bow ing before the footlights !—all pencilled by the hand of George Cruikshank. Fancy—besides this another folding illustration (a grand political squib fired off by the same arch incendiary, one who would long since have set the Thames on fire if its waters had been capable of ignition, the Spring of Caricaturists), a plate portraying the European plenipotentiaries " Trying to Cure a Bear of a Sore Head " one with British sticking-plaster ! another with Plaster of Paris ! another with Prus sian Plaster ! another with Austrian salve ! Baron Brunow in the background telling 40 xd them tlic 2- - - ivease p ers were all of no use, and that. thing -likcly -to do the Bear good, wouLd be ' de fat of de_Turkey." Several of the literary contributions this month are capital, and Cruikshank's woodcut sketch, at page 73, of a table leering slily at the great humbug of the day, that of the " Spirit Rapbmg," is delicious. 2 he Gentleman's Magazine and Historical Review. There is a notice of the " Memoirs of Moore" met with in this magazine. It is remarked that those who read these volumes will not only admire Moore, but will also love " Bessey," and that the latter will have the consciousness of knowing that while " the world from generation to generation will honour the poet, they will respect the best friend who ever lived in the poet's warm heart." The account of the Lady Elizabeth's imprisonment at Woodstock is concluded here, and it is probable many will be entertained by its perusal. It throws some light on one of the dark passages of history, and renders more explicit what has hitherto been rather confused. Elizabeth herself did not bear ill-will to Sir Henry Beddingfield, for he appeared at the court, and the only allusion she ever made to the past was to style him jest ingly her jailor. " Shrines and Images of the Virgin Mary" presents us with the history and origin of the different shrines in her honour; and on a future occasion the writer of these intends to furnish us with an account of the celebrated shrines in Europe which yet attract pilgrims to their altars. " Rachel Lady Russell's Letters" are very interest ing, and show her energetic character. She passed a very unhappy life, and met with several misfor tunes after the death of Lord William Russell. After forty years' separation, her remains rest by the side of her illustrious husband in the vault of the Russells at Chenies, Buckinghamshire. TEE EASTERN QUESTION. (Prom the Times.) The destinies of Europe hang upon the decision of the two great Gertnan Powers. Will the Cabinets of Vienna and Berlin unite themselves heartily and sincerely with the Fren9ha,nd Briti s h G overnm ents for the maintenance of the existing territorial arrangements of Europe ? If this be so, there is even set' a possibility that the hos tilities already begun'upon a section of the Danube may not rise to the proportions 6;4* general war, , , , ; , 7 4 1.'he point at issue is in reality of far mo4immediatelnoment to the German Sovereigns than to the Western Powers. Let us speak of each in turn. One- of the principal objects which the Russian Emperor now seeks to realise is the conquest of the mouths of the Danube—in other words he desires to seal up the principal outlet for the commerce of the Austrian dominions. Now, the Danube is an Austrian river,—for all practical pur poses, as much so as the Rhone is a French or the Thames an English river. OE course the Austrian Cabinet is amused with propositions for indemnification, but it would be just as possible to indemnify the Emperor Francis Joseph for the loss of his head, as it would be to compensate his subjects for the loss of the Danube. The Austrian should rejoice to see Europe rising in arms to fight a battle peculiarly his own. We dismiss the hy pothesis of neutrality as unworthy of serious notice, should the struggle assume a character of reality. Before two months of war are over every Power in Eu ro pe, w ith the exception possibly of Spain, will be engaged on one side or the other. Let us assume for a moment that Austria should side with Russia, and with all the other German Governments, against France and England, against the population of Germany, of Hungary, of Poland, of Italy. Surely Lombardy would make herself heard once more, and with effective allies the result might be very different. Let us ask the councillors of Francis Joseph to consider what the effect would be if some 50,000 Frenchmen should cross the Lombard frontier six weeks hence, and a fleet, manned with English blue-jackets, should support their operations on either coast of the Peninsula ? Would it cost the two Governments much pains to set Italy on fire at the four corners ? Hungary and Poland remain ; but we do not think the Austrian Cabinet can derive much satisfaction from the contem plation of those provinces, if their discontent were backed by Western Europe. On minor points, such as the fate of Trieste and Venice, in case of a war between Austria aul the naval Powers, we need not dwell, but would leave the case in its full simplicity for the consideration of the house of Hapsburgh. After all, why is the young Emperor bound to the triumphant sledge of the Czar? The Hungarian operations in which the Russian army was engaged were undertaken far more for the Emperor Nicholas's own security than for that of the dominions of Francis Joseph. The campaign which the Russian generals conducted in Hungary they must otherwise hav e conducted in Russian Poland. In saving Hungary to the house 'of Hapsburgh they saved the European provinces of their own master. Such is the simple statement of Austria's obligations to Russia ; but we have yet to learn that questions of sentiment can be permitted to influence the decisions of a great Go vernment. To these considerations we would add, that if by siding with the other European powers the Aus trian Monarch should succeed in making war impossible to the Russian, he will have saved the Emperor Nicho las from destruction and his empire from dismember ment. Surely this is the best proof of gratitude which could be given in return for service performed. In Prussia, indeed, there is not the same amount of discontent as in the provinces of which the Austrian empire is constituted. So far she enjoys a felicity denied to her neighbour and ally. On the other hand, whereas Austria is not immediately assailable by France in any of her provinces save Lombardy, Prussia is open to every blow. There can be no doubt that the military spirit of the French nation would be highly gratified by at least a partial restoration of the old Napoleonic limits ; and they lie very invitingly to the Great Emperor's nephew and successor. The question then remains for the attentive consideration of the Prussian Cabinet, if they could now hope to rouse the spirit of Germany against the French invader as in the time of the War of Liberation ? The fiery youth of Germany then came for ward to be slain in hecatombs for the cause of their country's freedom. We doubt if they could be induced to fight with the same degree of vigour in support of Russian aggrandisement. It may also be said that the people of Germany have had some specimen of the manner in which the rulers of their country un derstand the meaning of the term " freedom "—of that talismanic word which induced their fathers to spill so much of their own credulous blood._ Between the War of Liberation and the present time we have had the violated promises of ISIS, and the reaction against the revolutionary outbreak of 1848. All these matters considered, we have very serious doubts if the German Kings could lead their subjects to a renewal of the struggles of ISO 3-15, even for the sake of German thrones ; but we have no doubt at all should the point at issue be merely the aggrandisement of the Russian Czar. The public will be glad to see that the telegraphic despatches we publish to-day announce that the Crown Prince of Prussia has ranged himself decisively on tho side of the western powers. If his counsel be acted upon, he will have saved the Prussian monarchy. Now or never, the time has come to show the world that there is some use in the vast armaments which have been kept on foot in Germany since 1815. If properly directed at the present moment, they may preserve the peace of the world. THE NEW CATTLE-MARKET AT COPENHAGEN-FIELDS. —Mr. Deputy Hicks, accompanied by Mr. W. Collins, the master of the Butchers' Company, and other gentle men connected with the trade, waited upon the Lord Mayor yesterday, to complain of some observations made by his lordship a few days ago, to the effect that under the present system the proper observance of the Sabbath was neglected, in order that preparation might be made for Monday's market. Mr. Hicks, who intro duced the subject, stated that the Butchers' Company had since held a meeting and passed a resolution, in which they denied that any part of the Sabbath was de voted to preparations for attending market on Monday. The Lord Mayor said he was rejoiced to hear that the butchers paid attention to the Sabbath. He was, how ever, of opinion that there was a decided feeling in the public mind that the market day ought to be changed from Monday to Tuesday. It was the system he blamed and not the men, and he thought the best interests of society would be promoted by the suggested change. ANOTHER LONDON FOG.—This morning the metro polis was enveloped by a fog denser than any that has visited it during the present winter. Traffic on the river was almost entirely suspended, and nearly all the shops and other places of business were lighted-up as if it were the evening. DETERMINED ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE AT LONDON-BRIDGE. —This morning, a respectable young woman who gave her nameby Jumping Nlary Ann Jackson, attempted self-destruc tion off London-bridge. She was fortu nately rescued from a watery grave, and taken in an insensible state to Saint Thomas's Hospital, where she now remains, and refuses to give any account what in duced her to attempt self-destruction. THE SUPPLY OF COALS AT PORTSMOITTM—The shift of wind has brought a most seasonable relief in the sup ply of coals. We believe for the last month there have not been 1000 tons of coals in all Portsmouth, Portsea, or Gosport ; the price had consequently got up to U. 10s. per ton. The number of colliers in to-day has re duced the price to 2/. This, however, is a fearful charge to the poor, who are in great distress owing to the high price of provisions. NOTTINGHAM TRADE.—March and April being con sidered the best months in the year for lace business— the present moment is pronounced by some branches of the trade " a very good dull season "—but by others is made out to be as dull as dull can be. We believe that the latter is the rule, the former the exception ; but it is impossible by any general statement to characterise the condition of transactions so various as our infinitude of manufactures give rise to. The silk market during the past month has, according to Knowles' circular of February, been void of interest, and but few transac tions have taken place. The hirivals of China silk lately announced have been warehoused, and 'found very deficient in best silk. The mills are still in full employ ment, and the demand for exportation, although consider ably subsided, continues to some extent. Hosiery ex hibits this week a decided improvement without any furious excitement. The activity which prevails is very encouraging ; and although buyers still manifest extreme caution, the political causes of mistrust and misappre hension not being removed, it is evident that a fair busi ness must eventually be done, were it only to meet the stated exigencies of the moment, and whether any Specu lative movement shall arise or not.—Notts Guardian. THE LATE MR. THOJIASON.—The lamented Governor of the North-west Provinces of India has bequeathed the whole of his valuable private library to the Govern ment College at Agra. _ . ■
