Although this sum alone would not be sufficient for the purpose, the Directors nave not hesitated to declare a dividend for the half year, at the rate of 61. per centum per annum, free from the deduction of income-tax, as the " Guarantee Fund" (after taking from it suf ficient to make up the deficiency) will still have to its credit the sum of 89,218/. Bs. lid., being only 612/. ss. sd. less than on the 30th of December last. The Directors cannot close their report without expressing the deep regret they feel at the loss they have sustained by the recent decease of their much-esteemed friend and colleague, Joshua Schole field,Esq., This limente4 event will render it necessary to call the Proprietsrs together again shortly, for the purpose of electing a successor.

At a GENERAL _MEETING of the PROPRIETORS, held at the Court-room of the Banking-house, No. 8, Moorgate-street, on Wed nesday, July 10, 1844, the following Report was read by the Secre tary : The Directors have great pleasure in laying before the Proprietors the Fifth Annual Report of the affairs of the Compdny, for the year ending 30th June, 1844, from which it will be seen that the satisfac tory increase of the business of the Bank, which has formed the sub ject of congratulation since its establishment, still attends its opera tions ; and, notwithstanding the further depression in the value of money since the last report, the Directors are enabled to declare a dividend of 5 per cent. per annum (clear of income-tax) on the paid up capital of the Company. The balance sheet annexed to this report shows the results of the business of the Bank for the past year; and the Proprietors will ob serve, that after payment of all charges for the establishment, and interest to customers on their current and deposit accounts (amount ing to 18,6441.), the unappropriated profit for the past year at 30th June last, was 32,1131. 17s, which, after payment of the dividend, and appropriating 5001. as usual in reduction of the preliminary expenses, enables the Directors to add 3,468/. 16s. Id. to the reserved fund, which will thus be increased to 12,000/. invested in Govern ment Securities, leaving a surplus unappropriated profit of 7,000/. Os. 11d. _ _ The continued depression in the value of money is undoubtedly an important consideration in regulating the rate ofinterest to be allowed to customers on their current and deposit accounts, and the Directors have not failed to give this subject its due attention; but they are of opinion that the permanent interests of the Shareholders are best consulted by a strict adherence to those principles upon which this Bank was founded, and which has secured for it so much of the public confidence; with this conviction, the Directors do not contemplate making any alteration in the allowance of interest on current ac counts to their customers. The agency business of the Bank has been most materially in creased during the past year : and, in addition to other valuable banking connections formed boil, have to state that six important Joint-stock Banks have appointed this Company their agents in London since the last report ; with reference to the general business of the Bank, the increase on currency and deposit accounts has been more than 60 per cent. re spectively, ad compared with the statement presented las year. - The preinises nay occupied by the Bank having become inadequate fur the convenient transaction of its extended business, the Direc tors have availed themselves of the opportunity of purchasing from the Great Western Railway Company their extensive freehold pre mises in Princes-street, which will secure a permanent position for the Bank in the most convenient situation in the City. The Direc tors intend to remove the business of the Bank to the new banking house at Christmas next. Since the commencement of the Bank in 1839, the Directors have had to regret the loss, by death, of two esteemed colleagues, Mr. Skaife and Mr. Meux ; and in pursuance of the powers vested in them the deed of settlement, the Directors, in February last, elected William )jorley, Esq., to supply one of these vacancies. The Proprietors will have observed with great satisfaction, that, by the Government measure for rcncwing the Bank of England Charter, which has now passed the House of Commons, the restriction which has hitherto prohibited Joint-stock Banks in London from accepting bills at a less date than six months, will be removed. This just con cession to sound principles will enable these banks to undertake, with full reciprocal advantage to their customers, the entire agency of country banks, while it gives them increased facility for the trans rction of an extensive and profitable description of banking business, from which they have have hitherto been excluded. In accordance with the provisions of the deed of settlement, the three following Directors—Sir Peter Laurie, Andrew Spottiswoode, Esq., and George Webster, Esq.—go out of office ; but being eligible, the Cuurt unanimously recommend them for re-election.

DEPARTMENT OF MEDICAL STATISTICS—WiIIiam Farr, Esq., General Register Office. Acrumtv—F. G. P. Nelson, Esq. This Office is provided with very accurately constructed tables, by which it can assure unsound lives on equitable terms. Similar tables enable the Society to grant increased annuities on unsound lives, the amount varying with the particular disease. Members of consumptive families assured at equitable rates. Healthy Bites are assured on lower terns than at most ether offices. The first Life Assistance Society commenced business in 1705, and the principles of life contingencies, understood at that time to a very limited extent only, have repeatedly undergone important changes and improvements; but till the establishment of this So ciety in 1041 no attempt had ever been made to assure the lives of persons who suffer from disease. The science of statistics has only within a recent period been successfully applied to the duration and mortality of disease, and hence tables on the probability of these results could not have been formed ; and it would evidently have been unsafe and hazardous for any society to have undertaken the risk of assuring the lives of persons afflicted with any particular malady. The statistical in formation, however, now collected, and in possession of this office, is of so great an extent as fully to warrant the extension of life assurance to such cases, and, in fact, to place the application of life assurance on diseased lives on a more secure basis than even that on healthy lives. It is hoped that while kept clearly in view that this Society, in common with other offices, will assure the lives of healthy persons, it is as yet the only one established to assure the lives of persons labouring under disease ; and to this latter feature particular atten tion is directed( In the first place, because it opens a larger field for business than all other offices can have unitedly ; and in the Second place, because that branch of assurance must, from its own nature, be less hazardous, and its principles rest on a more permanent foundation. These are two highly important facts, and we shall enter into an ox 1-Amnesties. of 2 .7...1 fla tlac. 0.1,111, Of disease. The period 011ie most important to an assurance office Is ttiaL be tween 15-60 years of age, and in the fallowing remarks we refer exclusively to this period of life. It will be found that the deaths in the metropolis for the two yours preceding 1842 were, from all causes, 30,518 ; and from consumption alone, 10,688 ; showing that more than one-third of the total deaths in that period of life takes place from the preva lence of a single disease ; and if the same inquiry were instituted with respect to other diseases, such as asthma, dropsy, diseases of the head, heart, &c., it would be found that more than one-half of the whole population would, on medical examination, be refused admission into an assurance office. If the inquiry be carried to the principal towns in England, like facts are elicited—ln Bir mingham, Liverpool and Manchester, the deaths from all causes, per annum, are about 5,023, while those from consumption are 1,988, forming considerably more than one-third of the whole. The same thing will be found to hold good in the large towns In Scot land, in six of which the deaths in a given period, from all causes, amounted to 23,078, those from consumption alone to 6,3.59, and from six important diseases, 9,754; in the latter case forming more than 42 per cent. of the deaths from all causes. On reference to the returns from the city of Glasgow for 1836-1840 It will be found that the deaths in that period, from all causes, were 14,107, from consumption 4,087, and a list of five diseases, 6,423, being more than 45 per cent. of the deaths from all causes. The diseases here alluded to are such as exist in general in a chronic form, frequently for many years prior to death, but which, on a strict medical examination, would effectually exclude the persons so affected from the benefits of life assurance ; and since it thus appears that a majority of the population is included in this class, the value and importance of the new feature of this society cannot fail to be justly appreciated. The second point to be explained is the fact that there is much less risk in assuring diseased lives. This is a feature of paramount and vital importance to the interests of this society, and deserves to be carefully considered. The real risk incurred in all assurance transactions consists in the chance to which an office is liable of experiencing a different degree of mortality from that expected by the tabjes on which its caculations are founded. This difference is termed the fluctuation of mortality, and will be found to be much less among diseased lives than over the general population, and among selected lives. The deaths from consumption in the metropolis per annum are sufficiently near the annual number which takes place in Glasgow, from all causes, to admit of a comparison, and by reducing the matter to figures it is found that while the fluctuation per annum in the latter case is as high as 45 per cent., In the former it is only 9 per cent., or, in other words, the fluctuation of mortality in consumption was only one-fifth of the other; and in Manchester, Liverpool, and Birmingham, even with the disadvantage of smaller numbers, the fluctuation does not exceed 3 per cent., showing a remarkable uniformity in the law which determines the mortality of this disease, and that it is more positive and absolute in its results than that which regulates the general population. Consumption has here been selected, not because it was consi dered more favourable in its results, but simply on account of the larger numbers affording a more satisfactory proof of the question under consideration; but the same test has been applied to a great number of other diseases, and like results obtained. Among nine diseases in the metropolis, including asthma, dropsy, rheumatism, disease of the liver, of the hart, of the nervous system, &c., the fluctuation was only 7j per celit., and in five diseases in a different district the fluctuation was about 7 per cent., while among eleven in anothiir lopality, and even with small numbers, the fluctuation did not exceed 6.2 per cent. ; and taking the principal towns in England, including Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield, &c., the fluctuation over eleven of the more important diseases was o'4 per cent. The remarkable uniformity in these results cannot fail to pro. duce a conviction of the positive character of the law of mortality in disease; indeed, there seems to be nothing within the whole range of the doctrine of probabilities so well defined as the mor tality of diseased lives. The mortality of the general population has frequently been referred to by writers as an example of the cer tainty of common eyents, but the preceding remarks must show with how much greater certainty the mortality of diseased lives can be depended on, It is perhaps right to state, that, in applying the test of fluctuation to disease, it has not been confined to one place or class of lives, but has been extended to the principal towns in England and Scotland, as well as to many rural districts in Eng land, and included the experience of one or two large societies of select lives. This has afforded an opportunity of judging of the effects of locality and its sanatory condition on the duration of life, and a remarkable fact has thus been developed, viz., that the value of life generally is much greater in the coun. try districts than in large cities; but that of those persons who sqffer from disease the value of life is nearly the same. As an example of this—the expectation at the age of 30 in the country districts is 36.7 years; in cities (viz., Glasgow) 27.6 years—diffe rence 33 per cont. nearly; but take the ease of persons of that age in whom the consumptive tendency is developed, and who will pltimately die of consumption, and their expeoatign of life in the counties of Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk, will be found to be 14 . 5, in cities (Glasgow) 14% and in the metropolis, Manchester, Bir mingham, 13'9 ; difference 'Ol7 per pent. (or 1,57 per cent.) It therefore appears that while the difference between country and town life in the former case is about 33 per cent., that in the latter instance (consumption) the difference is almost nothing, and the results nearly uniform. The same thing holds good with some other diseases, which have been investigated in this manner. Thi s fact, although not generally understood, is only what might have Peep eilpepted by a careful consideration of the conclusion formerly arrived at — that the gi 4 ctu4tion of the law of mortality in disease is confined within a very narrow limit, and consequently little in fluenced by external circumstances. Ithence appears that the fluctuation in the mortality of diseased 47T, is much less than among select lives and the population gene rally, 4 14 , *crefore the risk of assuring diseased lives must also be POS. To apply this conclusion to tNB affairs of an assurance effice, it pay be stated, that supposing the number of livps in a society, taking azi.y s,,le r-t lives, was such that the table of mortality would indicate 100 deaths per zjiatup, it would be necessary to have always sufficient funds at immediate command to Meet 45 on the other hand, an o ffi ce assuring only diseased lives need not provide for more than 109 deaths per annum; that is to say, the - ps t k . e, 'suring diseased lives is to that of average lives as 9to 45, or only one.hrtn. Ffi;,a fact is highly important to the interests of this Society; and estahlisligs beyond 001414 tie safety and correctness of the principles on Which it•is founded: Pgie further information, refereti'ci is made to the prospectuses attd oper publiAe4 decuments of the Society, which riliyb'e eu twined on application 4 the aecietrs offices.

We have capital to purchase good teas —we have been long celebrated for our ability in discriminating good teas—we have an anxious de sire to select good teas —we have an inflexible determination to supply good teas--and we have, beyond all these powerful motives, our best interests to cons u l t i n selling good teas. Secondly, " we will pledge ourselves to keep none but pure teas," and we would particularly desire attention to this fact, the vast im portance of which our subsequent remarks will show. We would refer you to our opening circular, for a statistical account of Three Millions Four Hundred and Seventeen Thousand Nine Hundred and Fifty Pounds of trash, dignified by the name of " Tea," that has been purchased at the Tea Auctions in Mincing-lane, at the average rate of Three-pence Halfpenny per Pound (duty excluded), and after passing through various hands, has at length reached th e canisters of the retailer, and finally the teapot of the consumer. To stay this gigantic evil and to protect you from this long_ hidden grievance shall be our study, and with your co-operation, will be our privilege. Our position in the market enables us at once to possess our selves of the best teas imported; and we fearlessly assert that the prices of our teas, coupled with the excellence of their quality, shall be on a scale of liberality hitherto unequalled. We bring to our undertaking proved experience, discriminating judgment, and inflexibility of resolve. With integrity to uphold us, we pledge ourselves, by well directed energy, untiring industry, and unvarying courtesy, to merit the patronage we now solicit. BLACK TEAS PER POUND. No. 1, ss. 2d.

The article of coffee has for some years past attracted the atton. tion both of the late and present Governments, their object being to benefit the public by introducing it at a cheaper rate. Mr. Labouchere, the President of the Board of Trade in the late Government, devoted considerable time tti endeavouring to alter ed the anomalous laws which existed in regard t o co ff ee, but strong o ppo s ing interests at that period prevented hi m from carrying his g ood intentions into effect. Sir Robert Peel, with great d etermination, not w ith s t an di ng t h e fu lsts per lb., and the Chancel l o r of the Exch equer, in his financial state ment during the present session, annou nced a further reduction to power 6d. per lb., saying—" It is most important to extend the use of a beverage which is a groat lu xur y to all classes, and whi c h, I n a d. celebrated Tariff) the array against him, a t once reduced (in his duty on foreign co ff ees from Is. 3d. to Bd. dition, is found to supersede other beverages detrimental to health.

The General Half-yearly Meeting of the Shareholders in the London Joint-Stock Bank was yesterday held in the Board-room of the Bank in Princes-street, City, at twelve o'clock. Sir John M'Taggart, Bart., Au., Chairman of the Board of Directors, in the Chair. The advertisement calling the meeting having been read, The CHAIRMAN called upon the Secretary to read the following REPORT. "In accordance with the assurance given by the Chair man of the last general meeting of Shareholders that, as 'the question of allowance of interest to customers on current accounts had received, so it would continue to receive the best consideration of the Board, the Di rectors have now to inform the Proprietors that, after mature deliberation they came to a resolution in Feb. ruary last, That from and after the Ist of Mara, the interest plowed by the bank to customer§(lll their mini mum balances be one per cent., except on accounts, the monthly minimum balance of which on the average of the half-year §hall be under two hundred pounds ;' and it is a source of great gratification to them to be able to add that, with but few exceptions, the alteration was re ceived by the customers of the bank with that feeling of liberality which evinced their intimate acquaintance, with the extremely depressed state of the money mar ket, and their willingness to Concede a fair remunera tion to their bankers. " By the accounts which accompany this report ; it will be perceived that, after providing for current ex penses, bad debts, rebate of interest, &c., the net profit for the half-year ending the 80th June last, amounted to 16,0401. 7s. 2cl, " Although this sum alone would not be sufficient for the purpose, the Directors have not hesitated to declare a dividend for the half-year at the rate of 6L per centum per annum, free from the deduction of income-tax, as the Guarantee Fund' (after taking from it sufficient to make up the deficiency) will still leave to its credit the sum of 89,2181. Bs. I Id., being only 6121. ss. sd. less than on the 30th of December last. "The Directors cannot olose their report without ex pressing the deep regret they feel at the loss they have sustained, by the recent decease of their much-esteemed friend and colleague, Joshua Scholefield, Esq., M.P. This lamented event will render it necessary to call the Proprietors together again shortly for the purpose of electing a successor. " The dividend will ho payable on and after the 18th instant." The SxourrArty then read the statement of accounts far the current half-year. Mr. T. MOORE observed that the sum charged for current expenses was larger than it had been during the preceding half-year. The CHAIRMAN replied, that it had been as large a sum on previous occasions. On the 30th of June, 1842, it was 11,7091. 10s. 10d., a larger sum than during the present half-year ; but of course the amount would vary according to circumstances. He moved that the report be received, printed, and circulated among the Pro prietors. - Mr. BORRODAILE wished to know if the serious losses which it had been stated the bank had suffered in con sequence of their connection with Call, Thompson, and Co., were included in the sum allowed for bad debts ? The CHAIRMAN said it was not their bank, but another, which had suffered those losses. The London Joint stock Bank had no connection with Call, Thompson, and Co., and had never suffered any leo, as had beer. stated. In making the allowance for bad debts th( , Directors were careful to err on the safe side. Mr. G. B. HARRIqC.N asked if the number of new accounts opened since the reduction of the interest was equal to the average of new accounts opened during the same period of former years?. The CHAtamAN could only state generally that a large number of new accounts had been opened, and new aooounts were being opened weekly. Mr. G. B. HARRISON—Can the Chairman assure the meeting that the number of new accounts has not de creased since last year ? The CHAIRMAN—There are a great many more new accounts now than there were at that time, Mr. G. B. HARRISON %Valid not go deeply into the matter, but he thought there was a want of courtesy in the sudden manner in which the circular of the Di decidedly in rectors had been issued so soon after the last meeting at which the feeling exhibited Ina opposition to the reduction of the interest. —(Hear, hear, and No, no.

It ould have been. a declaration of insolvency if in the present state of the money market they had held out the lure of giving two per cent. for money when they could obtain any amount of capital they chose at one and-a-half per cent. If, as he understood, the number of accounts which had been withdrawn in consequence had been under ten, he should like to ask the question whether the number of accounts withdrawn, or the number of new accounts was the greatest ? He had at the last meeting drawn their attention to this subject, because he felt that the nearer they approached to the legitimate manner in which banking was carried on in the City the better. A more wise and judicious course could not have been adopted. The Directors had acted ' well and wisely, and if ever a vote of thanks was due to them, it was due to them that day. Mr. GREGORY thought the question hinted at by the worthy Alderman was a must important one, and he would at once ask, if the number of the old accounts withdrawn since the alteration had been less than the new accounts opened ? The CHAIRMAN believed that the accounts withdrawn on that account did not exceed three or four, while the new accounts exceeded one hundred. He could assure the meeting that the accounts had greatly in creased since the alteration.—(Cries of " Hear.") As to the time at which the alteration had been made, the Directors, after what had taken place at the last meeting, had felt it their duty to give the subject their srious consideration, and, in consequence, they had made the alteration. Mr. BORRODAILE considered the alteration as good for the Proprietors and bad for the depositors. It was not keeping good faith with the public, when money was de a r, to offer them this int erest to induce them to become Customers of the bank, and then when money became cheap to turn round upon them with this alteration. Major BUCHANAN reminded the meeting that the Scotch banks, on the model of which they were formed, were frequently altering the rate of interest aimed according to the state of the money market. The CHAIRMAN had recently received a notification from the British Linen Company, a Scotch bank, of their intention of reducing the rate of their interest. How was it possible by any legitimate banking, in the present state of the money market to pay the expenses of their establishment, if they allowed their customers 2 per cent.? Mr. G.B. HARRISON—If money is high, do the Scotch banks give more than two per cent, interest ? The CHAIRMAN—Yes. Mr. G. B. HARRISON—That was not the case here. If a depositor were to ask, when money was high, for more than his two per cent., he would be refused, and referred to his contract, and if so, the bank ought to abide by it when money was cheap. The CHAIRMAN—If he were to transfer his money to the deposit account he would be enabled to get all the interest he was entitled to. After a few words from Mr. John Hackblock and Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes, the report was ordered to be received. The CHAIRMAN had sent for a statement of the num ber of accounts before and since the alteration which lie would read to the meeting. The number of accounts up to the Ist of January, 1844, was 2,589, and on the Ist of July, 1844, it was 2.704. Mr. T. MOORE, in reference to a motion of which he had given notice, would ask if J. P. Darthez, jun., Esq., a Director of the bank, had returned to England ? The OHAIRDIAN—No. Mr. T. MOORE c ould ask when he had last attended as a Director ? Mr. Alderman HUGHES HUGHES rose to order. It was not a meeting for the election of Directors, and the question could not, he apprehended, be entertained. Mr. T. MOORE had given regular notice of a motion which he would now propose:—" That if any Director be absent from England for any period exceeding six months, he shall be disqualified ; and the Directors shall give notice for filling up the vacancy, in conformity with the provisions of the deed of settlement," Mr. T. S. SAMBROOK seconded the motion. Mr. Alderman HuGuEs HuGHEs hoped the motion would receive no support. There were many gentle men sitting there as Diivetors, of'whose services he should be very sorry to be deprived because they might happen to be detained in the country by sickness, per haps for more than six months. With regard to Mr. Darthes, no one had been more useful to the bank than lie had ; and his absence in Spain might be productive of much good to the bank, as he might induce many Spanish merchants to join them. The CHAIRMAN said that very severe indisposition had occasioned the absence of Mr. Darthez. Mr. T. MOORE—But not for two years. It was now three or four years since he had been present. The CHAIRMAN—No, two years. Mr. T. MOORE always liked to offer the most stre nuous opposition to the commencement of abuse or mis management, and it certainly was a great abuse that a Director should be absent from his post for three or four years, more particularly in a bank, where the Di rectors wore the only check upon each other, as they had no auditors. • Now, what check could Mr. Darthez be, residing as h e did at C ad i z, upon his brother DirettLis: No doubt Mr. Gladstone had this very case in his eye, when he introduced a clause in his Bill to prevent this occurring in any -new companies. The gentleman in question was a most respectable man ; he did not deny it. He had been of great use to that bank he admitted, but still he thought there had been a little management in the pert of the Directors to secure his re-election. A letter hatibeen rpsid nn thar he was coming to England. Now, it did not appear that he had the slightest intention of coming th England at all. The 20th clause of the deed of settlement directed that if a Director should be absent without leave from the Board for three months, he should be dis qualified. It might be asked why he did not oppose his re-election? lie did not know of it until it was too late. He could net help thinking there had been some manage ment to procure his re-election. A PROPRIETOR—IS there anything in the deed of set tlement about the absence of Directors ? The CHAIRMAN—No Director can be absent without leave for more than three months, but the Board has power to give leave. Mr. V. KNIGHT thought six months too short a time to fix. He agreed in the principle of Mr. Moore's motion, but he thought the term might be advantageously en larged to one, or even to two years; and knowing, as he did, the value of Mr. Darthez, he mu; quite willing that that gentleman should not be aff,.'„cted by the resolution. Mr. Alderman H. HuGHns objected to the motion being put, on a point bi order. The motion went to make an alteration. In the deed of settlement, and that could not be done at a meeting like the present, and without going through the necessary preliminary forms. AMBRQCIE MOORE, Esq., a Director, rose to repel the charge of mismanagement in this matter which had been brought against the Direction by Mr. T. Moore. The. only object they had in view was to show their respect for a colleague who had been of the greatest service to the establishment. What would have been said if the Directors had availed themselves of the power, after his absence for three months, to exclude bim from the Direc tion? But Mr. Darthez had been re-elected since his ab sence. Why had not the Hon. Proprietor on that occasion proposed another candidate; he had had on that occasion seventeen clear days to get up a little management on his own account, and yet he had not thought proper tci avail himself of it by proposing another candidate. Mr. H. NICHOLSON—In what way did Mr. Dar j he z offer himself for re-election ? The CHAIRMAN—By letter. He is obliged 1- 0 . d o so. ^ Mr. BORRODAIL E h a d no d ou b t but that 'th e present discussion would prodace a good effect. The Directors had had an opportunity of hearing all t'Atat had passed on the subject. No doubt they would, well consider it, and he should be inclined to leave a .e matter entirely in their hands. The CHAIRMAN observed that as Mr. Moore bad pointed out one clause in 31r. Gladstone's Bill, he thought he might point out sore others which were most absurd. One was that bank.:s were to strike a balance every month. Why, if that were the case in the bank the whole of the time of the clerks would be taken up in striking . balances. Another absurdity was, the requiring the. names of two Directors on the back of every bill. The Bill would require to be greatly altered in Committee. Mr. V. KNIGHT thought they could not entertain the motion without altering the deed of settlement. Mr. SQUANCE, the solicitor to the Company, on being . called on, gave it as his opinion that the motion coukh not be entertained in its present form at that meeting. Mr. T. SAMBROOK, who had. seconded the motion merely to raise the discussion, would not object, if th e mover saw fit, to his withdrawing it. Mr. Alderman HUGHES HUGHES '? oped it would be withdrawn. Mr. T. MOORE did not object to withdraw his motion,, and had the discussion gone on he should not have ob jected to the substitution of twelve months for six. Not withstanding all that had been said, he could not help thinking there had been a little management somewhere, although. each individusi Director might disclaim all knowledge of it. Re was but an humble in dividual himself, but for all that, if he were taunted, he might get up a little management out of doors.. With regard to Mr. Gladstone's Bill, it should be recollected that among its provisions were the following: —That all future banks should have auditors, and that one-fourth of the directors should go out absolutely every year, and remain out. These were most whole some provisions. He then withdrew his motion. G. H. FOSTER, Esq., a Director, felt called upon to answer the statement of the Hon. Proprietor about management. On the last occasion he had stated that he thought the thanks of his colleagues and himself were due to Mr. Darthez • that he had wr i tten to that gentleman, as ki ng hi m i f he intended to offer himself for re-election and inquiring whether he might be expected in England soon. He had then said he was happy to state that he had received an answer, in which Mr.. Darthez offered himself for re-election,l and ex pressed his intention of soon returning to England! lie had hoped to have seen him before th'a, and he trusted, from what be had heard front ether quarters, for he had not heard from Mr. Darthez him self, that they would soon see him amongst them. The motion was then withdrawn. Mr. Alderman HUGHES HUGHES then moved that the especial thanks of the Proprietors are justly due, and are hereby respectfully presented to the Directors for their valuable and efficient services. Mr. T. MOORE seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN, in the name, of the Directors and. himself, returned thanks. th 60 mot!iin of Mr, RICHARD GIBBS, the thanks or - 1- ',oprietors %Tr:, given to Mr. Pollard, the Manager, tknd the gentle.nien employed under him, in conducting thC affairs of the bank. Mr. POLLARD returned thanks. The thanks of the meeting were then unanimously voted to the Chairman for his able conduct in the chair - and the compliment h av i ng b een acknowledged by th e Chairman, the meeting adjourned.
