The 38th annual meeting of this Society was held yester day in the great room of Exeter-hall. Lord J. Russell, M.P., presided. The centre of the hall was densely crowded by Dissenters and members of the Society of Friends ; and amongst those on the platform we observed Lord Monteagle, Admiral Sir E. Codnngton, Sir C. Lemon, Bart., M.P. ; Mr. D. Barclay, M.P. ; Mr. S. Marj3ribanks, M.P. ; Mr. C. Hindley, M.P. ; Mr. S. Gurney, Mr. W. Tooke, Rev. J. Burnet, Rev. Dr. Morrison, Rev. J. Shurman, a German missionary from Benares ; Rev. W. Arthur, from Mysore, &c. The Noble CHAIRMAN, after briefly explaining the ori g i n and objects of the Society, proceeded• to say, that at no time within his recollection had the great cause which they were then assembled to advocate been brought before the public under such favourable auspices or with so fair a prospect of a happy issue. The propriety of educating the people was no longer a problematical question. Men of all parties were agreed as to its necessity, however much they differed as to the mode in which it could be most effectually accomplished. Upon that point those who formed this Institution had never entertained any doubt whatever. They had long felt the want of a system of education which should comprehend every denomination of persons, and their only difficulty was how that want was to be remedied. They had two points to consider. The first was the existing means—the next, the inadequacy of those means, and in what way that deficiency could be supplied. They found that the State, as a State, took no charge of the education of the people. The Church, if it had the inclination, had not the means wherewith to establish a great national system ; but even if it had these means, there were many without the pale of the Church who were not likely to avail themselves of such a provision, for reasons to which he should not then more par ticularly advert. It was proper here to remark, that there were endowments applicable to educational purposes, which might perhaps have been made available, but owing to the will of the founders it was found impossible to apply those funds in a practically useful manner; they did not apply to the purposes of general education. It was, therefore, found necessary to provide a substitute by means of voluntary subscriptions. That Society had grown up out of the vo luntary principle. Amongst its earliest supporters were his late Royal Highness the Duke of Kent, his late Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, whose death they had re cently to deplore, his own lamented father, the Duke of Bedford, Lord Brougham, and that great and good man, William Allen, whose benevolence and philanthropy had through a long and useful life associated him with every in stitution which had for its object the improvement of man kind. It was under such auspices that the Society had commenced operations. Its objects were, in the first place, to provide the people with the means of scriptural instruc • tier; in the next, to secure to them the advantages of secular knowledge. The next question was, how these ends could be attained so as to include the greatest number of the people? As had been truly observed, the people of England were a Protestant people—it was no less true that the Bible was the religion of Protestants ; therefore, by giving them the Bible, in that sense all could unite. With respect to secular education, he saw no reason why it should not be carried to the greatest extent, provided the means were ade quate. The Society had existed, he believed, thirty-eight years, and during that time great improvements had taken place • owing to the example set by the Society schools were established where they had not previously existed. In three or four years after the formation of that Society the Church interested itself in the cause; the schools of the National Education Society were-formed, he would not say in rivalry, but they were put in juxta-position with those of that Society. During the last year the means of education had been con siderably increased, the details of winch would be learned from the report. The efforts made by public bodies had stimulated individual exertion; and here he had the hap piness to inform the meeting, that his Royal Highness Prince Albert, whose enlightened views on the subject of education must endear him to the people of this country, had contri buted a donation of 1001. to be applied to the purposes of the Society.—(Loud cheers.) His (Lord J. Russell's) brother, the President of the Society, had also sent his annual sub• scription of 100 guineas.—(Cheers.) In conclusion, the Noble Lord expressed his ardent hope that the Society would go on and prosper—that by giving the word of God with sound and useful knowledge to the poor child, he might become worthy of a Christian country and a free State. The SECRETARY then read the report, which commenced with a tribute of respect to the services of the late Mr. W. Allen, the Treasurer, and announced that Mr. S. Gurney had accepted that office. During the past year 781 boys and 450 girls had been admitted into the parent school in the Bo rough-road. The total number received since the commence ment were-27,140 boys, and 16,162 girls ; total, 43,303. The normal schools were represented to be in a state of great effi ciency. The report then adverted to the Society's foreign operations in France, Russia, Greece, Belgium, Sweden, Ca nada, Africa, the East and West Indies, &c. Mr. S. GURNEY read the financial statement; the receipts of the year (including her Majesty's annual subscription of 100/., and 1001. donation from the Fishmongers' Company), amounted to 1,081/. Is. There was a balace of 604/. in favour of the Society at the beginning of the year, to meet liabilities amounting to 840/. Lord MONTEAGLE moved the adoption of the report. The' principle wisely adopted by the Society was to afford the means of education without the compromise of conscientious feeling. They were only following out, in that respect, the fundamental principles of the Reformation. No man was called upon to surrender the right of private judgment, but so to use his privileges as not to offend the judgment of others. Sir C. LEMON, in seconding the motion, observed that there was one part of the report in which he did not agree. It was said that a system of national and combined education was hopeless. He trusted that such a system would yet prevail. The Rev. G. CLAYTON moved the next resolution, expres sive of congratulation at the extensive efforts made by the different denominations of Christians in favour of elementary education. He was not disposed to treat education in the light of a denominational question. The ministers of religion, no matter of what creed, were not likely to have worse hearers from the enlightenment of the people. He trusted that he should live to see one general system, without any compro mise of the rights of conscience. Sectarianism was bad enough in adults, but the young snould not be made to regard each other with antipathy. Mr. J. SHEPHERD seconded the motion. The Rev. W. ARTHUR, in moving the next resolution, pledging the meeting to increased efforts for the promotion of education in foreign countries, and in the British co l on i es more especially, entered into details relating to the state of education in British India, where he stated that the grossest ignorance prevails. The Rev. A. SHURHA.N, from Benares, who seconded the motion, bore testimony to the degraded state of ignorance in the Indian empire. The Rev. J. BURNET moved that the respectful thanks of the meeting be accorded to her Majesty for her gracious pa• tronage of the Society, and to his Royal Highness Prince Albert for his munificent donation. The Rev. Gentleman said that the Church had offered to take the trouble of edu cating the people off the Society's hands; but as they had preferred adhering to the voluntary principle, it was the duty of the Society to exert itself in that good cause. He was not inclined to blame Sir James Graham for having set them the task ; but the State would have a just right to condemn them should they leave the country uneducated. Sir E. CODRLNGTON seconded the motion. D. BARQLAY, M.P., moved a vote of tha n k s t o hi s Grace the Duke of Bedford, as President of the Society, and to Lord John Russell for taking the chair on that occasion. Mr. W. TOOKE seconded the motion, which was carried by acclamation. Lord J. RUSSELL acknowledged the compliment, and the meeting separated. LOSS OF THE SEVERN SCREW STEAMER. BRISTOL, MONDAY. — lnformationc:as just reached this city of the loss of the above vessel, plying between this city and Newport. The Severn and the Avon are two new vessels lately put on the station by a new company, Messrs. Stothert, Slaughter, and Co. They were propelled by the Archime dian screw, and by high pressure engines, and they have only been running about three weeks. It is necessary to explain that there is a very strong current setting in with the tide at the spot where the Severn was moored, near the Newport bridge in the river Usk, and it is customary to swing round the head of the vessel as soon as her cargo is discharged, in order to be read for steaming off with the tide, but on this occasion such precaution was not adopted, owing to there being so _little water in the river on the arrival of the vessel, that she took to the ground before her cargo could be got out. Whilst she lay in the river a new screw was substituted for the old one, and that only a few minutes before the vessel attempted to get under way, the screw was all clear, but on the captain giving the word of command to " reverse" the engine, and almost at the same moment to " let go the stern rope," it was found that the screw would not act. The vessel was, therefore, drifted rapidly with the tide, and in a few minutes struclvagainst the sharp angle of the bridge, which made a "dent. W n ere set bow ; the water began to flow in, and the pump to work, but she rebounded, and again it n struck w broadside ' almost mira culous against the bridge with such force , that on board, heart-rending. nTohtertelirnwererigahbotuotvfifterypassengers over.

The financial statement for the former year was not read at the last annual meeting, in con sequence of the absence of the treasurer. It appears that there is at present a balance against the Society of 661. 10s. sd. After the usual business the meeting separated. A singular case of bigamy has been discovered in Liverpool. A married w oman , name d M argare t M'Neal, living with her husband, got married with his consent, about three years ago, to their lodger, named Michael De vinne, and they have since lived happily all together. The woman when taken into custody had a child in her arms. THE MONSTER BELL.—Subscriptions amounting to about 8002 have been received towards the great bell at York, which is to be christened the Great Peter Bell. It is to weigh ten tons and not eight, as at first intended. A gentleman subscriber has offered an additional sub scription of IL for every cwt. above eight tons, con sequently by this alteration he will have 401. more to pay.—Leeds Times. GOVERN R.

OFFICE IN EDINDURGII—,3, George -street. OFFICE IN LONDON-82, King William-street, The DIRECTORS of the STANDARD LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY beg to intimate with reference to the PRECEDING ADVERTISEMENT from the YORK and LONDON AS. SUR AICCE COMPANY, that any COMMUNICATION ADDRESSED to their SECRETARY on the SUBJECT of the AGREEIIENT which has been made BETWEEN the OFFICES will have IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. THE STANDARD LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY is constituted by Act of Parliament. It was established in 1825 and its business has been conducted with very great success. The Assurances granted in the year 1843 alone exceed one.third of a million sterling, adding nearly 11,000/. per annum to the Company's Revenue from Premiums. BUSINESS. The Business of the Company embraces all transactions depen. dent on life, and Parties have the benefit, if desired, of participating in the Profits of the Business. The Terms of the Company will be found moderate, and no entry money is charged. DIVISION OF PROFITS. The Standard Life Assurance Company has already divided Profits among its policyholders upon two different occasions, at 15th of November, 1835, being ten years from the commencement of the business, and at 15th of November, 1840, being five years from the first division. The future periodical divisions of profits will be made at inter vals of five years; the next, or third period, being the Isth of November, 1845. A Bonus, when vested, may be added to the original sum as sured, or the value of the Bonus may be received in money, or a corresponding reduction will be made from the future annual premiums, at the option of the party assuring. THE ADDITIONS TO POLICIES which have already been declared, are exhibited in the following Table, the examples being Policies of 1,0001. : Bonus Addition.

By observing carefully the scale of Additions, it will be per. ceived that the greatest comparative advantage is c'erived by these Assurers whose Policies are upheld by the Company for the longest period—a result which is produced by the particular principle of division which has been adopted, the measure of an Assurer's cla'm at each period being the number of years the Policy has existed. THIS SYSTEM IS SIMILAR TO THAT WHICH IS ACTED UPON BY THE EQUITABLE SOCIETY IN THE CASE OF ITS PRIVILEGED POLICY-HOLDER. No scheme can be offered conferring greater advantages upon good lives, and it is particularly suitable to those persons who effect Assurances with the intention of continuing them fur the benefit of their families. GENERAL REGULATIONS A.ND CONDITIONS. Being desirous to afford every safe encouragement to the exten 'ion of the system of Life Assurance among all classes, the Direc tors make it their Judy to conduct the business of the Company on the most liberal principles. . .

At the present moment some few particulars of the life of.' the distinguished successor of Lord Ellenborough in the Go vernment of India, will not be unacceptable to the majority of our readers. The Right Ilon. Sir Henry Hardinge, is the son of the late Rev. Henry Hardinge, rector of Stanhope, Durham, and was born in 1785. His mother was a daughter of James Best, Esq., of the same county, and he is brother to the late Baronet, the Rev. Sir Charles Hardinge, whose son succeeded to the Baronetcy in 1836. At an early age he evinced a strong disposition for a military life—a disposition which his parents, with praiseworthy discernment, thought fit to encourage, and he was therefore educated with muck care for the noble profession in which he so soon an d so grea tly distinguished himself. His valuable services in Spain and Portugal are repeatedly the subject of warm com mendation in the dispatche s of his illustrious commander ; and at that momentous crisis in European affairs when the Prince of Orange pr o p osed levying a large body of troops, it was to Captain Hardinge that Lord Wellington recommended his Royal Highness to apply for counsel and assistance. Sir Henry was present in p erson at the follo‘ying actions or battles, at each of which he more or less distinguished himself, re ceiving several severe wounds :—BusacotAlbuera, Badajoz, S a l amanca , Vittoria, the Pyrenees , Nivelle, Nive, and Orthes ; he was also at Waterloo, and at th e t err ifi c engage ment at Ligny he lost his left arm, for which he receives a pension of 300/. For his services in the Peninsular he was o rders. of In the present rewarded with a cross and five clasps, and from 1809 t o 1813 he was Deputy-Quartermaster - General of the Po r t uguese likewise t e daughter received sixth several il of theforeigna.B,l2a3nland mother Marquis of Londonderry, ewas appointed first army.l;27 e Heh married a s h Clerk of the Ordnance , which office he conti nue d t o fill un til 1828, when he was ma de Secretar y -at-War . In 1830 he was on do n dseirrrywo:e James, e o s f , James, M.P. appointed to the important post in of Secretary for Ireland, which he resigned at the dissolution of the D u k e o f Wel lington's Administration , and 1834, during the brief Ad ministration of Sir Robert Peel, he was again selected to fill that office. On the accession of the Co nserva t ives to power in 1841 he was re-appointed Secretary -at-War. Sir Henry became a Lieutenant-General in the army in November, 1841, and obtained the Colonelcy of the 57th Foot in 1833. He has represented several boroughs in Parliament, but has sat for Launceston since 1832. He is known to have long enjoyed the intimate personal friendship and esteem of the Duke of Wellington. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.---A most dreadful accident occurred yesterday in a colliery near Llanelly. It ap pears from the particulars we have been able to gather, that between two and three o'clock yesterday afternoon, the engine in the Penbwlchgwyn colliery, about two miles from Llanelly, caught fire. After a short time the engine, with a tremendous crash, fell into the pit, shut ting out every chance of escape for the hundred men and children who were working in the pit. All at tempts to put out the flames were vain. Exertions to extricate the sufferers were used incessantly, but at eight o'clock last night not one of them was got out of the pit. It is much to be feared, therefore, that every soul has perished.—Welshman of Saturday. THE EARL or RIPON.—We are happy to state that the Noble President of the Board of Control has nearly re covered from his late attack of illness. SUMMARY OF NEWS - AND VlUtatt OPtittOn• " Trio runs may read." FOREIGIV. On Friday, the King of the French, the Queen, and Royal Family, accompanied the Duchess of Kent to Versailles. A handsome collation was served up at the palace immediately on the arrival of the Royal party; after which they visited the Royal galleries, the chapel, the theatre, and the pleasure grounds. The Royal party returned to Paris at nine o'clock in the evening, The Duchess of Kent was to leave Paris on the 9th, when the Royal Family would take up their residence at Neuilly for the season. The fall of the Spanish Ministry excites no surprise at Paris, as it was generally foreseen. On Saturday the Cour Royale heard the appeal of M. Felix Pint, the proprietor of the IWorme, and M. Grandmenil, the editor, against a conviction pronounced against them for a libel on M. Jules Janin, contained in a criticism upon one of that popular writer's last works. The Cour Royale confirmed the judgment of the Court below, by which M. Felix Piat was accordingly adjudged to six months' imprisonment and 1,000 francs of damages, and M. Grandmenil to 3,000 francs damages and one year's imprisonment. The French Government have determined to discontinue the Transatlantic steam .packets which were established at Havre, and to adapt the steamers for the service of the navy. LAW AND POLICE. In the Insolvent Debtors' Court, 'William Gilbert was op posed on the ground that he had committed breaches of trust against the parties who had employed him as a com mercial traveller. The insolvent had been engaged by a person named End as a traveller, and had received large sums on account of his employer and others, who had en gaged him in a similar capacity. The insolvent petitioned the Court of Bankruptcy under the new Act, when his peti tion was dismissed on the ground for which he was now op posed—namely, that he had incurred debts by means of breaches of trust. The Chief Commissioner said two distinct cases had been proved; one was to 2001., and the insolvent would be remanded. The imprisonment he had already undergone would be considered. At the Central Criminal Court Wm. Carrell, aged 48, was convicted of stealing, on the 2d of January, 70 sovereigns, and four Bank of England notes, value 51. each, the property of James Ford, and was sentenced to be transported for seven years. Wm. Henry Whitfield, a commercial traveller, who was remanded from the last session, was indicted for embezzling and stealing the sums of 8/. 65., 71. Gs., and 21. 10s., in the months of October, November, and December last, which he had received on account of Messrs. Reader, Stukely, and Co., his employers. There was a second indictment charging the prisoner with similar purloinings. He pleaded guilty to both charges. He was sentenced to be imprisoned in the House of Correction for 18 months, and kept at hard labour. At Bow-street, Wm. Nix, an errand-boy, aged 15 years, in the service of Mr. John Ward, treasurer to the Infant Sch ool Society, was brought before Mr. Hall, charged with stealing 8/. 10s., belonging to his master. The prosecutor wished to decline proceeding against the prisoner, as it was his first offence, and his friends were very respctable. Mr. Hall said his duty would not be performed if he did not commit the prisoner for trial; and it would rest with the Court to con sider the prosecutor's recommendation in his behalf. The prisoner declined to say anything, and was removed to Newgate. Wm. Burton Newenham, charged at Clerkenwell with the abduction of Miss Frances Louisa Northam, was fully com mitted to Newgate, and will be tried during the present sessions. CoUIIT—PAB IXONtifL.C. Her Majesty's banquet to-morrow evening, at Buckingham Palace, will be given to his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. The performance of the Concert of Ancient Music being under - the direction of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, he has engaged Madame Caradori Allan and Mrs. A. Shaw, Misses Rainforth and Dolby, Signori Mario Lablache, Salvi. and Mr. H. Harrison. Her Majesty is ex pected to honour the performance with her presence. Earl Fitzwilliam, the Ladies Wentworth Fitzwilliam, and the Hon. G. W. Fitzwilliam, M.P., have arrived at Mortimer House from Milton Park, near Peterborough. In consequence of the somewhat sudden death of Lady Stanley's brother, the Hon. Sir R. Bootle Wilbraham, M.P., the dinner and evening party appointed for Saturday next, will not now take place. Lord Alexander Russell's marriage with Miss Holmes, daughter of Lady Worsley Holmes, and the late Sir Leonard Holmes, Bart., is on the eve of being solemnized. The nup tials will not be celebrated in town, but at Lady Worsley llolmes's seat at the Isle of Wight. The Dowager Duchess of Bedford has gone to Newport to visit Lord Alexander Rus sell, who is staying there with his regiment. The Earl of Winchilsea and the members of the Lincoln shire Club gave their anniversary dinner at the Clarendon Hotel, on Friday, when there were also present Sir John Trollope, M.P., Sir R. Sheffield, Mr. J. Banks Stanhope, Mr. Handley, Mr. Vere Fane, Lieutenant-General Reynard - son, &c. The Earl and Countess of Warwick, with Lord Brooke and Lady Caroline Neeld, have returned to Warwick Castle, from Bath. The Noble Earl, notwithstanding his visit to that city for the advantage of its waters, continues in a very indif ferent state of health. I E arl . The and Countess of Eglintoun, during the present week, w:11 receive a distinguished circle at Eglintoun Castle, Ayrshire during the races. The Marquis and Marchioness of Waterford have arrived on a visit to the Noble Earl and Countess. The Marquis of Salisbury has left town for Hatfield House, Herts, in order to be at the assembling of the South Herts Yeomanry, of which corps the Noble Marquis is Colonel Com mandant. The Marchioness of Clanricarde contemplated giving two grand balls to the beau monde, to introduce her daughter, Lady Elizabeth de Burgh, into fashionable society ; but, in con sequence of the death of the Duchess of Portland, aunt of the Marchioness, these parties have been put off for a time. azzsdEmzeirrous. The third concert of the Societa Armonica took place last night at the Hanover-square Rooms, and there was an ample attendance of visitors. Miss Rainforth, Signor Salvi, and a Signor Pergetti were the vocalists. In a duet of Donizettes there was some misunderstanding between the singers and the accompanyist, and a break down nearly ensued. The diffi-ulty however was got over, and they came smoothly to an end. Signor Pergetti is a male soprano—a class of singers, after the experiences in Velluti, not likely to be tolerated again in this country. The lady of Sir geil Douglas, Commandant of the Forces in Scotland, presented new colours to the 26th Cameronians, on Friday last, on Bruntsfield Links, Edinburgh, after having been consecrated in the usual manner, by the Rev. Professor Lee. The soldiers were ente r t a i ne d at dinner in the Palace-square, at the castle, and a ball and supper were given in honour of the event, by the officers, to about 500 of the elite of the city and neighbourhood. A conditional order for a mandamus directing Mr. Board, of Trinity College, Dublin, to admit a gentleman, named Heron, of the Roman Catholic persuasion, as a scholar, was obtained a few days ago in the Queen's Bench, Dublin, and excites a good deal of anxiety as to its result, especially as it is said Mr. Longfield, one of the fellows of College, and a gentleman of some celebrity at the bar, has given his pro fessional opinion that Papists are eligible to scholarships. IRELAND. THE STATE TRIALS. DUBLIN, MAY s.—The Attorney-General did not conclude for some time after the departure of the mail yesterday afternoon. In consequence of the introduction by him of entirely new matter, Mr. Whiteside, on the part of the tra versers, applied to the Court to allow counsel on their be half to reply, so far as the new cases, introduced, contrary to arrangement, were concerned.—The Attorney-General re sisted the application, and Mr. Justice Burton intimated that the Court would determine the point to-morrow (Monday) morning. If the traversers should be permitted to reply, the Alecision of the Court on the new-trial motion could scarcely bt• given before Tuesday. Term ends on the next day (Wednesday). Supposing that the Judges should refuse a new trial, and that the Crown should resist the right of the traversers to move an arrest of judgment, on the technical point of a want of notice, which the Orange party boast they will do—even in this supposed course of precipitancy on the part of the Crown, the Court could scarcely be in time to pronounce sentence upon the traversers within this term, although the Judges were to sit till the last minute allowed by law. The Attorney-General is now endeavouring to arrive at the judgment with railroad speed. The ceremony of laying the foundation stone of a church of the established religion took place on Monday ;Morning, at ten o'clock, in the presence of a number of clergymen, resident gentry, and above forty-five vestrymen of the united parishes of St. Giles'-in-the-Fields, and St. George's, Bloomsbury. The site chosen for the sacred edifice is adjacCnt to the St. Giles's workhouse, and the frontage will command a prominent view of the new streets and metro politan improvements running from Waterloo-bridge to the British Museum. ------ --- OLYMPIC THEATRE.—Last night Mr. E. L. Blan chard, the son of the once-favourite actor, had his benefit at this theatre, as author of many successful pieces which have been performed at the Olympic, and at other theatres. The bill of fare was most abundant, and consisted for the most part cf performances written by Mr. Blanchard, interspersed with dances of various kinds. The Road of Life took the lead, on completing its hundredth night ; next came a new interlude, written for the occasion, called the Invisible Client ; then Polichinello in Italy, in which the part of Punch was admirably pantomimed by Mons. Stilt ; and lastly, the burlesque of Cinderella. The house was filled with an audi ence that seemed pleased with their entertainment. TEACHING BARBARIANS llumANnv.—Lieutenant Greenwood, in his " Campaign in Affghanistan," speaks with horror of " Affghan ferocity." and relates an illus trative anecdote :—A Khyberee boy, aged six years, was observed by a British soldier handling a large knife, and endeavouring to hack off the head of a dead colour sergeant, for his private amusement ! " There is a ferocity about these Affghans," observes the tender hearted lieutenant, " which they seem to imbibe with their mother's milk." And then, to show our superiority over the barbarous tribes of Asia, he adds Th e young urchin was so completely absorbed in his savage task, that he heeded not the near approach of the soldier, who coolly took him up on his bayonet and threw him over the cliff." FRENCH PLAYS.—Thesc performances were last night fully and fashionably attended. Among the audience we observed the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, the of Norfolk, the Earl and Countess of Che3terfield, the Duchess French Ambassador and Ceuntess St. Aulaire, the Earl of Malmes burv' the Turkish Ambassador and su it e, Lady Meux, Lady G. Sloane Stanley, the Baron and B aroness de itotschild, the Lady Baroness de Calabrella, Sir Aug us t us and Forster, Sir Henry Webb, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Platt, the Belgian Blinister and Madame Van der W eyer, Lord Fitzroy Somerset, Lord Fitzharris, Sir John Ab e l S m i t h , L ord and Lad; Vivian, Sir Richard and Lady Bulkeley Philipps. fJQ / / IT . MONEY MARKET and CITY N EWS. --!' CITY, MONDAY EVENING % We have before us the report of a Committee of the Red peal Association, appointed some time ago to inir;.-lnter , llS-' the state of joint-stock banking in Irelaniti t 'aiid„kuhmiy V 4 last week a t th e C orn E xchange, Dublin. 'Without aitl '.• to remark upon the legitimate connection which a Repeal Association should have with banking, we must admit that the Committee appear to have bestowed agood deal of labour and pains in collecting information, and the language of the report, it must also be allowed, is temperate, and not appa rently overcharged. The case made out in the report of the Committee is de sisive, that Ireland is greatly deficient in banking capital and accommodation. An interestingcontrast in this respect is drawn between the present condition of Ireland and Scotland. The whole banking capital paid up in Ireland is only 1,600,0001., deducting the capital of the Bank of Ireland all lent to Government. The whole available banking means of Ireland is thus stated :—Average circulation, 5,500,000/. ; deposits, 6,000,0001., and paid-up capital, including the whole capital of the Bank of Ireland, 4,230,0001., making a total of 15,730,0001. With these means so little benefit is derived from the banks by way of accommodation, that the - average amount of the discounts by all the banks of issue are estimated not to exceed 4,000,0001. By way of contrast, the number of joint-stock banks in Scotland is 29, with a paid-up capital of 9,000,000/. ; de posits, 27,000,000/., and circulation, 3, 500,000/., making the total banking means 39,500,0001. The Scotch banks have 340 branches, and the Irish 137, being in the former case one bank to every 7,750 persons, and in the latter one to every 60,000. The banking capital of Scotland is 15/. per head to the whole population, and in Ireland 1/. 18s. 6d. per head. These are, certainly, singular contrasts, and indicate awidely different state of society in the two sections of the empire. The Committee endeavour to bring all these facts and de ductions to bear against the special privileges which have been conferred upon the Bank of Ireland, and fer this pur pose they have evidently drawn the contrast with Scotland, where banking has been left entirely free. That they make out some very strong points against the monopoly of the Bank of Ireland is undeniable, but the main cause of Ireland being so far behind in the race, compared with Scotland, is much deeper seated than banking monopoly, and must be sought for in another direction.—Herald. SUN.—The English Securities closed at about the rates of the morning, Consols being 991 to 4. In the other Stocks we did not notice any alteration, if we except an advance of 24 to 3 per cent. in the value of India Stock, owing to the appointment of Sir Henry Hardinge, bar gains for account being effected as high as 2874 to 288. Spanish Stock closed a little better, the Five per Cents. being 234 to t; and the Three per Cents. 331 to 4. Mexican Bonds were 354. The West India Mail has been telegraphed. Brazilian New were 79 to 792, being rather higher. Portuguese Converted were heavy at 45. The additional transactions in Railway Shares have been these :—Birmingham and Gloucester were 4; Eastern Counties, 13; Midland Counties, 9; and North Midland 84, discount. Bristol and Exeter have been 5 to 54 ; Ditto and Gloucester, 194; Eastern Counties New 64; Great Western, 424 ; Glasgow and Dumfries, to 4; Harwich (Braithwaithe), 1; Ditto (Locke), I; Birmingham Thirds, 374; Ditto Quarters, 254; Mar.- chester and Birmingham, 16k; Newcastle and Darling ton, 234 to i; South Eastern, 54 to 54; Ditto New, 8 to 4; York and North Midland, 70; Paris and Orleans, 174; and Paris and Rouen, 171, premium. London and . Westminster Bank Shares were 54 to 54 premium. METROPOLITAN IMPROVE MENTS. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) If the improvements taking place in the east end of the metropolis are to be continued to the narrow streets of Wapping, the sooner they are commenced the better for the respectable portion of the neighbourhood. Since the re moval of the business of the old Thames Police-office, another wharf has been erected near this spot, the approaches to which are very narrow, and this place presents a continuous scene of disgraceful disturbance. On Saturday, during the forenoon, the thoroughfare was completely blocked up, and a hackney cab was overturned upon the pavement. The swearing and abusive language of the cabmen and others was so shameful, that the children and all juvenile members of society, who always congregate on those occa sions, cannot faikto be dreadfully demoralised by such conduct. Surely there ought to be some efficient remedy found for the increasing evil. Should not the wharfingers be called upon to abate the nuisance? Or is it not a duty on the part of the parochial authorities to call upon the Commissioners of Police to attend to the removal of it ? NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH', MAY 6. The Iris, 26, Captain G. B. Mundy, was at St. Jago on the 24th of February, after an unprecedented quick passage from Madeira. On the 25th of February the Satellite sloop, 18, Commander R. H. B. Rowley, also anchored in the harbour, from the same port (Madeira). On a trial of the sailing qualities of these two ships, the Iris beat the Satellite by sixteen hours in four days. The Vixen, 6, steam-sloop, Commander George Giffard, left Hong-Kong on the 12th of January, for Amoy and Chu san, with mail and dispatches for Commodore H. D. Chads, of the Cambrian, 36, in that station. The Waterwitch, 10, is now ready for removal from Mr. White's yard, at Cowes, to Portsmouth, for commission. She will form one of the experimental brig squadron. The Black Eagle, Admiralty yacht, Mr. S. B. Cook, Mas ter-Commander, is expected round from 'Woolwich this day, to be in readiness to convey her Majesty from this port to Cowes to-morrow. Her Majesty and attendants will remain at Osborne two or three days, it is confidently reperted. The Collingwood, 80, will be commissioned this week by . Commander Broadhead (1841) for Captain den, for the flag of Sir George Seymour, appointed to command in the Pacific. She will lie commissioned in dock, and from the number of hands already in want of ships, she will be speedily manned. The St. Vincent, 120, flag-ship of Sir Charles Rowley, Bart., Commander-in-Chief, &c., will be got out of harbour to Spithead to-morrow ; her running rigging is rove, and every other preparation made, as, if she does not go out to morrow, she will not be able to leave her moorings until the next spring tide.
