" We had the pleasure of being pr :sent at the private rehearsil Concert of Mae. the Lady Violinist, at the Adelphi Theatre, and were highly delighted and equally astonished at her Perfo trance,. There is about her playing a firmness and precision of tou h, and a freedom of bowing, which we should not have ex. pected from a Lady. Her purity and correctness of tone are truly wonderful. In a Grand Scotch Fantasia, she introduce." the beau tiful Air of Auld Ri.biti Gray,' and gave it with an expressive pathos, a thrilling tenderness of tone, that reminded us strongly of the pathetic sty!, of Miss Stephens' voice in the same Ballad. She was admirab y supported by the members of the Coffini Family."—Sun. Never was trium hso brilliant.

SECOND EDITION.. vvening_int LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5' 1844, No business of the slightest interest took place in the Lords yesterday, and the House adjourned at an early hour. In the Commons, a new writ was ordered for the borough of Enniskillen, in the room of the Hon ARTHUR COLE, who has accepted th) Chiltern Hundreds. Mr. T. DUNcoMBE moved for a copy of the judg ment and the committal of Mr O'Coloima. And the other State prisoners. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said the shorthand writer had not yet transcribed all his notes, but the documents would be laid before the House with as little delay as possible. Lord JOHN RUSSELL moved for a copy of a dis patch from the Earl of ABERDEEN to the Earl of WESTMORELAND relative to commercial relations be tween England and Prussia. GLADSTONE said he had no objection to the production of the correspondence when it was brought to a close. . Lord J. RUSSELL then postponed his motion fcr a fortnight. Lory HARRY VANE moved for a Select Committee to take Into consideration the Act passed in the sth and 6th of the present reign, for increasing the duty 011 coals exported from this country, and showed very satisfactorily the impolicy of the measure. The easticELLou of the ExcaEctuza, however, thought otherwise, and, after entering into lengthened statistical details, said the present measure was work ing beneficially for the country, Mr. IVAnauaroN opposed the motion, and thought the Government would act wisely in maintaining the present duty. After a lengthened discussion, the motion for a Select Committee was negatived by a majority of 36. Mr. LTALL moved for a Select Committee to in quire into the state of our commercial marine. In the course of the discussion to which this gave rise, Mr. GLADSTONE stated that the arrangements as to the Stade duties would come into operation in Octo ber next. The motion was agreed to. _ No other business of importance was transacted and the House adjourned at a Quarter to One o'clock Every day's experience tends more and more to corroborate the " great fact" that the Tories—or Conservatives as they now call themselves, though it is their name only, not their nature that they have changed—cannot govern Ireland. Sir ROBERT PEEL'S "chief difficulty" becomes more embarrassing and complicated with every twenty-four hours that passes over his head. It is not yet quite a week since sentence of imprisonment was passed on Mr. O'Cost- WELL ; and 10, instead of the lethargy and gradual dying out of the flame of Repeal, on which Ministers seem to have so confidently calculated, the flame burns fiercer than ever ; popular passions, compara tively dormant for some five or six months past, are revived with more than their former virulence and activity ; and the hatred of Tory rule, which in the eyes of Irishmen is synonymous with Tory oppression, is no longer confined to this or that district, but is spreading like wild-fire throughout the sister country ! How stands the Repeal Rent, which is a pretty accu rate barometer of the feelings of the people ? For the last week—that is to say, the week in which the Liberator's imprisonment took place—the sum re ceived at the Conciliation Hall was not less than two thousand five hundred and ninety-six pounds I No proof of the declining popularity of the Repeal cause here. The amount of Mr. O'CONNELI: s fine is ac tually paid in hard cash within seven days, cheerfully and without a murmur, by the public subscriptions of the poorest country in Europe ! Leaving this fact to have its due weight with the reader, let us next consider the language held at the last meeting of the Dublin Repealers. Here are the sentiments of Mr. SMITH O'BRlEN—one of the most intelligent and influential Irishmen of his day, and second only to the Liberator in popularity—coolly and deliberately spoken in presence of hundreds, perhaps we ought rather to say thousands, of his ex cited countrymen :—" What would be the effect of the events of the past week ? For his ewn part, when he heard the sentence pronounced which con signed Mr. O'CONNELL to a gaol, he felt that the doom of the Union was in those words. V estigia nulla retrorsum, should be now their motto. The bridge had been cut away behind them, and for the future no man would dare to talk of any compromise. He conjured the Roman Catholics of Ireland of all ranks to come forward at the present juncture." There are no evi dences of shrinking here ! The language of the speaker is not that of hesitation and despondency ; and if we may judge from the immense number of public meet ings that are announced to take place immediately throughout the country, the sentiments held by Mr. O'BRIEN are cordially responded to by the vast ma jority of Irishmen. Such are the first fruits of the PEEL policy as regards Ireland ! Such the result of three years of Tory legislation ! Never yet was so fine an opportunity of regaining the affections of an excitable, but generous-minded people so utterly—so wantonly thrown away, as if in sheer contempt, as has been done by the present Cabinet. When they entered upon office in 1840 the game was in their own hands, and they had only to play it fairly to play it successfully. They had ample power, both within and without the walls of Parliament, to enter upon the great work of Irish pacification with every prospect of a fortunate result. England had not yet found cause to distrust them— Ireland was willing to hope—and even the an tagonist Orange party had lost much of its old in fluence, and concurrently with this, much also of its old bigotry and inveteracy of purpose. But Ministers, with that strange hallucination which ever clings to Toryism—no matter how mild and modified be the form which it assumes—neglected one by one all the advantages of their position. With the words of promise continually on their lips, they did little or nothing for Ireland. Session after session came and went, and still found the acknowledged grievances of the sister country unredressed. In vain her claims were brought forward in Parliament ; in vain Ministers were con jured by some of their own party—among others by the Hon. and Gallant Member for 'Westminster—to turn a considerate ear to the supplications of Ireland —entreaties, remonstrances, menaces, all were alike ineffectual ; and the only boon which Go vernment would condescend to bestow on the sister-country, was that very equivocal, or rather deeply insulting measure—an Irish Arms Bill From the moment that this obnoxious measure be came law, Irishmen felt that the time for hope and confidence was past, and that nothing was left for them but to agitate a Repeal of the Union. How that agitation progressed—how Government interfered— and what were the results of that interference— our readers know quite as well as ourselves; we may assure them, however, that the end is not yet; the " snake is scotched, not killed ;" and the day is not far distant when Sir ROBERT PEEL, and those who act with him, will deeply regret that, when the golden opportunity was afforded them, they did not pursue a more generous, enlarged, and conciliatory system of policy towards Ireland. Meantime, we may just notice, en passant, the notorious fact—so humiliating to .Toryism—that though her MAJESTY can visit Scotland, and every other part of her dominions, and make sure of a kindly re ception even in the rival kingdom of France, she cannot visit Ireland ; because were she to do so, she would be sure to learn, at every step of her progress through that country, how generally unpo pular were the men who have been her confidential advisers for the last three years and upwards. A handbill has been forwarded to us with the heading " NICHOLAS of Russia in England ! ! !" and announcing that a public meeting will be held on Thursday, the 6th of June, in the National Hall, High Holborn, for the purpose of ascertaining how far the people of England are prepared to welcome to their country the Russian EMPEROR. The rest of the handbill is filled up with personal abuse of the EMPEROR, and with a detailed list of all the cruelties inflicted on the inhabitants of Poland. Against these cruelties no journal has protested in stronger lan guage, or with more sincerity of purpose, than 77ie Sun—and that fact the Poles in this country grate fully acknowledge. May we ask them and their friends to grant us one favour in return, and that is, to avoid everything like insult to the AUTOCRAT while he is in a manner the guest of this great nation. England is ever hospitable, and her people would be the last in the world to heap abuse on a Sovereign who had come among them, trusting to their gene:. rous and open dispositions, and anxious, perhaps, to improve himself by witnessing their free institutions. We, therefore, trust that no hostile demonstration will be made on the occasion, and that at all events the friends of Poland will respect the feelings of our gracious and beloved SOVEREIGN, who, under the pre sent peculiar circumstances, would be greatly dis tressed by any insult offered to her Royal Guest. The Paris papers are much occupied with the visit of the Emperor of RUSSIA to this country, and con tain almost every possible conjecture as to its object. One states that he has come for amusement, and to show himself off before the English people. Two of them regard his object as purely political ; and a fourth, the National, believes he has paid the compli ment to Queen VICTORIA solely to annoy LOUIS Puturrz. "The CZAR," says the Siecle, can only have gone to England to obtain personally a solution of certain political questions, which it suits the Eng lish Cabinet to leave in a species of incertitude. England wishes to preserve the power, when her in terests make it desirable for her, to pass over to the s id e of the absolute Governments against France ; but she has no notion at present of entering into a perpetual engagement with Russia ; for this would compromise her freedom of action, and oblige her to give up a portion of the benefits of the concessions which she rends from our feeble Government. When England proclaims her love of peace, we must th us construe her declaration. England desires that Europe may be divided into two camps, placing herself on the flanks of each, and offering victory to whichever may consent to buy it, by making the most positive sacrifices to her. This is a fine position, and Sir R. PEEL has no inclination to give it up in compliance with the impetuous demands of the Emperor of RUSSIA." The Quotidienne gives the following solution : " The state of European Turkey, the condition of the Christians in the provinces bordering on the prin cipalities under the protection of the EMPEROR, the movements of Russian troops in the South of the Empire, and the need of coming to a direct under standing with the English Ministry on the part to be taken by Russia in the solution of the grave ques tions which may arise, are quite enough to impute a serious motive to the journey of NicuoLas, however inoffensive it may be to our rulers. There was a time when the EMPEROR might run about all Europe without exciting the attention of France. She then felt that no question of any importance could be treated upon without her ; but now, such is her weak state, that the slightest occurrence disturbs our Conservatives." The Journal des Debats merely announces his ar. rival. A general belief prevailed at Paris that the Em peror of MOROCCO seriously intended to take part with ABD-EL-KADER against the French. A letter from Tangiers, which appears in the Algerie, a journal published at Algiers, announces that the EMPEROR has caused a holy war to be preached against France. The pretext is a belief of an intervention by France in the differences between Morocco and Spain. The EMPEROR is said to place great reliance on the preparations which ABD..ET,KADER has been em ployed for several months in making among the great tribes on the frontier of Algeria. It is further re ported that a son of MULEY ABD-EL-RHAMAN has joined the EMIR with a considerable body of forces. There appears to be some foundation for the report, as similar intelligence had been communicated to a Paris journal, the Commerce, which contains the following statements : __ "We have received accounts from Algiers of the 26th ult. Marshal Bugeaud, in his expedition in the East, has obtained the submission of the Flittas, and has sent some of his troops back to Algiers, which indicates that he has attained his ob ject, and is about to return himself to Algiers, where his pre sence is required in consequence of serious news from the West. It appears that we are threatened with an attack by the Emperor of Morocco, who has assembled from 9,000 to 10,000 men, at least, on his frontiers, and they are constantly receiving reinforcements. The son of Abd-el-Rhaman is at their head. The Marshal, informed of this, intends, it is asserted, to proceed to the spot. All the forces of the division of Oran are assembling on the frontier, in order to be ready for the troops of Morocco, if they should attempt to invade our territory." Considerable fluctuation took place in the French Funds on Monday. The Three per Cents. at one time had fallen to 84f. 20c., and the Fives to 121 f. 60c., but they afterwards improved and closed as follows : Threes, 84f. 30c.; Fives, 122 f. Isc.

THE WEST INDIA MAIL. SOUTHAMPTON, IN ..'EDNESDAY MORNING. _ _ The Teviot, Royal Mail Company's steam-ship, Captain Wil Liam Allan, arrived this morning, at half-past four, from the West Indies, bringing all the mails, which were dispatched by the seven o'clock train, and which, of course, will be de livered in London this day. Her dates of departure are as follow :—Tampico, 24th April ; Vera Cruz, 2d May ; Jamaica, Bth May ; Barbadoes, 9th May; Havannah, 10th May; Grenada, II th May; Nas sau, 13th May ; St. Thomas's, 15th May ; and liermhda, 20th May. The Tiviot reports that things are still in a very,unsettled state at Hayti. In Mexico, the castle of St. Juan de Alma is being strongly fortified with all possible dispatch ; otherwise, matters are generally very quiet. Santa Anna has agreed to allow all those ships that had left England previously to the passing of his new tariff, to discharge their cargoes under the old duties. At the Havannah, the authorities have expelled the whole of the free blacks. A large party of them took shelter on board the Teviot, and were brought on by Capt. Allan to Nassau. Others have proceeded to Jamaica and Mexico. Many executions are daily taking place at Matanzas and ilavannah of those blacks concerned in the late insurrection. There is a great want of rain in the islands of Cuba, Ber muda, and the Bahamas. The latter are suffering dreadfully from a very long-continued drought, and the privations the inhabitants are undergoing are great in the extreme. Her Majesty's frigate Pique, Hon. Captain Stopford, was lying at Sacrificioa when the Teviot left Vera Cruz. _ - The Thames was at Havannah when the Teviot left, and was to sail the same evening for Vera Cruz, with the English mails of the let of April. On the 9th of May her Majesty's schooner Lee sailed for Belize with the Ist of April mails. The Teviot experienced Ane weather generally the whole of the voyage, encountering, of course, the prevailing head winds. She was only due at Southampton this day at twelve o'clock. Freight-268 serons cochineal (from Vera Cruz); 91,461 dollars; 155 doubloons ; 4,099 ounces of gold dust ; 1,3971b5. silver; and 29,500 dollars for the Mexican dividends.— Herald.

The Court took the Crown paper this morning and after wards proceeded with the new trial paper. No case of any public interest came on during the morning. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.) There was nothing of the slightest general interest in the cases which came before the Court this day. MAR YLEBONE.-(THIS DAY.) William Martin, a young man, of respectable appearance, was charged with having, this morning, created a disturb.. ance in the residence of the Rev. Mr. HoLstock, Polygon, Somers-town. Mr. James Horton, residing there, said that the parlour windows of the rev, gentleman had been broken by seme mischievous person that morning, and the prisoner, who was passing at the time, was taken to the station-house, on sus picion of having been the offending party. Witness went to the station-house, and, knowing the prisoner, forbore to press the charge, and he was set at liberty. About half-past nine this morning he called at the Rev. Mr. llolstock's, m order, as he said, to explain about the windows, but the rev. gen tleman wished to have no communication with him, and told him to leave the house. The prisoner refused to do so, and a disturbance was created, when the prisoner was given into custody. The prisoner—l did not break the windows. Mr. RAWLINSON—The present charge is not for breaking windows, but for creating a disturbance. But I must say that it looks to me as if you did break them. You were found alone, at two in the morning, in the Polygon, a place alto gether apart from the road, and where you could have had no business. However, it is with the other case I have to do. You will find bail for your good behaviour in time to come. CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.) A person of dissipated appearance was brought before the Magistrate on two charges of drunkenness. He was de scribed as Fitzgibbon, a newspaper reporter en one of the police-sheets, and as reporter on the other. He was found drunk by a policeman on Monday evening, and locked up, but was bailed out. lie did not appear to hie bail yesterday morning, and the Sergeant said the bail-men would be sued for their recognisances. Yesterday evening he was again found drunk and incapable in the E division, and locked up and charged by an E constable. Sergeant Dyer stated that the prisoner had been previously convicted before the magistrates of Otis court. , A.„, 4( ..` , - .- 4) - -.iz. . . 4_,T. -1.,,, ,_.., rt ,i ~,,, , a) , • ---Y,47; .-___.ll‘ w..,- dpr , . 4 siro - I , .: , -.... „ ..:.., -5, 4 !"-e - rqt.' ..,, ~..„,,,.

The prisoner said he was sorry for what he had done. The MAGISTRATE fined him 55., and said that if he were again brought before him, he would most certainly hold him to bail. The prisoner having paid the fine, was discharged. MONE ir AND ComiIvIERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The commercial advices by the Overland Mail are of as favourable a character as could be expected, though the un remunerating prices are still complained of.

She was much applauded throughout, particularly in her songs, which were accompanied by Lanza on the piano-forte. That little pro digy, Miss Emily Hudson, performed a series of brilliant va riations on Rossini's " Vivi Tu," on the piano -forte, in most masterly style. We sincerely congratulate Miss Seyton on her success, but must at the same time express a hope that this success will not induce her to withdraw altogether from the more legitimate field for her exertions. Histrionic talents, such as those possessed by Miss Clara Seyton, can ill be spared from the stage at the present moment. PHILHARMONIC.—We have heard that it is the intention of her Majesty to honour the Philharmonic Con cert on Monday with her presence ; and that the Emperor of Russia and the King of Sax.onv will also be present, to hear Mendelssohn's Midsummer Yight's Dream, which is to be repeated; and Maurer's Concertanti, for four violins, will be played by Ernst, Joachim, Blagrove , and Si v o ri, we be lieve.

THE CLOW N AND THE CRITIC.--A celebrated clown once produced on th e s tage a rusty oldsword. "This,' said he, "is the sword with which Balaam smote his ass." One of the audience replied, "I thought he had no sword , but only wished for one." " You're right," rejoined the clown, and this is the very sword he wished for. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND pubitt Optnton. " W 11.9 runs may read." FOIZZAtitu The Journal des Debats of Monday publishes a long rescript addressed by the Pope to the Roman Catholic clergy against Bible Societies. "We recommend you," says his Holiness, "to announce and to explain in proper time and place to the people confided to your pastoral charge our present advice, and to use all your efforts to withdraw your faithful flock from any connection with those Bible Societies. It will be your duty to take from their hands any Bibles translated into the vulgar tongue, or published contrary to the sanction of the Roman Pontiffs." We observe a paragraph in the Constitutionnel, stating Louis Philippe's watch to have been stolen, on Monday be fore last, whilst he was again visiting the exhibition of works of art. M. Horace Vernet, the celebrated French painter, left Paris on Monday, to pay his respects to his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Russia, who, it would appear, has a great personal regard for the artist. 'Sldlle. Taglioni re-appeared at the opera on Saturday night in La Sylphide. The receipts amounted to 11,500 f. Letters from Strasburg, referred to by the Paris papers, state that on the passage of the Duchess if Kent through that city her Royal Highness had been received with every possible testimony of respect by the authorities and the population. The Commerce states that M. F. de Lesseps is, at the ex piration of his conge to be appointed Consul-General of France at Alexandria, in place of M. de Lavalette. The Wurtzburg Gazette contains a letter from Berlin, May 27, which says :—" It is believed that the Emperor of Russia will go to Vienna after his return from London. His Majesty is to join the Empress at Sans Souci on July 13. The Revue des Deus blondes mentions a report that the French naval division in the China seas has received orders, with the assent of England, to take possession of an island at a few leagues distance from Hong-Kong. The Memorial* Rouen gives an account of the arrest in that city on Friday last of three Englishmen, detected in coining and issuing false one-franc pieces. They made a desperate resistance before they could be secured. The coun terfeit coin is extremely well made, and cannot be distin guished by weight without being put into the scales ; but on being rubbed the colour of the zinc becomes apparent. It bears the date of 1843, and the letter B. MAW AND POTAXCE. At the Mansion-house a person of very respectable appear ance, named James Egan, was brought before the Lord Mayor, in the custody of Daniel Forrester, the officer, charged with having received a Bank of England note for 1001., knowing the same to have been stolen. A vast deal of interest was excited by this case, the prisoner having, as was reported, been at one time manager and director of the National Bank of Ireland, whose property the stolen note was stated to be, and having been tried in the year 1842, in Dublin, for stealing a parcel of bank-notes, of which the 1001. note in question was one. After a lengthened examination the prisoner was remanded. At Guildhall, Thomas Hoare, a young man about twenty years of age, was brought before Mr. Alderman Humphery, charged with burglariously breaking and entering the dwell ing-house of James Stone, with intent to commit felony. Mr. Alderman Humphery, after hearing evidence on the charge, and ascertaining that only a few pence had been missing, put some questions to the prisoner, who said he had not been near the place that was broken open, and did not know even where it was. He was a printer by trade, but got his living by playing the accordion in gentlemen's houses, and lodged at No. 5, George-street, Tottenham-court-road. The Alderman determined on punishing him summarily, and committed the prisoner as a rogue and vagabond for three months. Michael John M`Cann was finally examined, at Marylebone, charged with having intermarried with Bridget Thomas, his first wife, Mary M`Cann, being at the time in existence, and fully committed. The long protracted case of the robbery and murder in Ratcliff was brought to a close yesterday before the Magis trate at the Thames Police Court. The prisoners were brought from Clerkenwell in the police van, at eleven o'clock. Their names are Alexander Nicholson, a milkman, in whose house the deceased was robbed of 30/, an d ill- use d ; Richard Bragger ; Rosetta Bragger, his wife ; Mary Ann Ash, the sister of Rosetta, with whom Nicholson has for some time cohabited; George Bragger, the brother of Richard; and John Horsted, a non-registered coal whipper. At the conclusion of the examination, Mr. Ballantine said he had made up his mind to commit Horsted, George Bragger, Ro setta Bragger, and Mary Ann Ash, for wilful murder; and I shall also commit Richard Bragger, Alexander Nicholson, and Mary Ann Ash, for the robbery on Saturday night, the 18th of May. The announcement caused a great sensation among the prisoners, especially those charged with murder. C 0 Ilirr —rasExo NAB LB. The Duke of Wellington is expected to return to Apsley House on Friday, from his visit to her Majesty at Windsor Castle. The Duke and Duchess of Leeds are expected to leave the Clarendon Hotel, on Sunday next, for the Hague, where the annual sports of the Falconry, or Hawking Club, of which his Grace is a member, will shortly commence. Viscount Melbourne returned to South-street on Satur day last, from Brocket Hall, where his Lordship had been passing the Whitsun recess, and on Monday his Lordship dined with the Corporation of the Trinity House, he being one of the elder brethren of that body. The Marquis Conyngham, accompanied by the Earl of Mount Charles and the youthful ladies Conyngham, embark shortly from Southampton (where his Lordship is occupying Belle Vue House), on board his Lordship's yachts, Flower of Yarrow schooner, and Seaflower cutter, for Ireland. His Lordship hoisted his flag last week as Commodore of the Royal Southern Yacht Club. The Earl and Countess of Winterton, and youthful family are sojourning at the Countess Dowager of Winterton's house at Brighton. DIX S C ELLA!LTZEOTTS. The Emperor of Russia has announced his intention to give annually, as long as he lives, the sum of 5001., to be added to the race fund of Ascot—thus liberally and nobly following the example of his son, who, it may be borne in mind, contributes 3001. every year at _Newmarket, to be run for under the name of the Cesarewitch Stakes. On Mondoy morning the West London Railway was opened for public traffic as far as its junction with the Great Western line, but the station and other preparations at its junction with the London and Birmingham line not being completed, the opening of that portion was deferred until this morning. Since Monday trains have been running to meet the nine, eleven, and half-past six o'clock trains on the Great Western Railway ; and from to-day trains will also meet the seven, half-past ten, three, and six o'clock trains on the London and Birmingham Railway. A Parliamentary return has just been issued, on the motion of Mr. Hume, giving an account of the law and other expenses incurred against persons for smuggling and frauds in the Customs foi 1842 and 1843. In 1842, in Eng land, there were 815 prosecutions, the expenses of which were 3,2541. 15s. ; the duties were 52/. 10s. 2d. ; the penal. ties, 1,7821. 7s. ld. ; and the amount received in compro mises was 694/. 19s. 4d. In 1843, there were 1,147 prosecu tions in England, at an expense of 5,5991. 15s. 7d.; the duties were 267/. 16s. 6d. ; the penalties, 943/. 12s. 9d. ; and the compromises amounted to 2,5331. 16s. 4d. In the two years the expenses were 8,856/. 10s. 7d., and the amount re covered 3,228/. 15s. Bd. A similar return is given respecting Ireland and Scotland. On the whole, the expenses in the United Kingdom were 10,1171. Bs. 6d., and the amount reco vered in compromises was under 5,000/. On Sunday evening a numerous meeting was held at the parochial school-rooms, Church-street, Islington, on the sub ject of the Bill for the regulation of religious trusts. The Rev. Daniel Wilson, M.A., vicar of Islington, took the chair; and there were present the Rev. J. Hambleton, the Rev. J. Venn, the Rev. G. Smith, and several of the parochial clergy. Several addresses were delivered, and resolutions condemna tory of Lord Lyndhurst's Bill were unanimously adopted. THE EMPEROR NICHOLAS AND THE POLES. Lord Dudley Stuart presents his compliments to the Editor of The Sun, and would feel obliged by his inserting in his columns the accompanying letter, addressed to Lord Dudley Stuart by the Marquis of Northampton.—June 4, 1844. MY DEAR LORD,—I am induced to address to you the following observations, as I think that it is im portant they should be made public by some one, although I am quite aware that they must occur to the minds of most reflecting persons. I believe that ,hey would come better from Myself than from almost any one else. In saying this, I am actuated by no per sonal vanity ; it is not from personal considerations, but from those of the official situation that I hold, that I have formed this opinion. As President of the Royal Society, I am the official, though in no other way the representative of English science. In that capacity lam neutral in politics, though I have of course the same right as any other individual to express my opinion when not in the President's chair. It is this official neutrality that encourages me now to address you. In my official capacity I am bound to express the sense en tertained by men of science in England for the liberal manner in which the Russian Government promotes the advancement of knowledge, and especially for the kindness with which they received the present Presi dent of the Geographical Society, Mr. Murchison, in his recent geological tour in that country. Still more am I called on to state how much the Royal Society feel the cordial manner in which the Emperor has supported the great magnetical inquiries now goinkT on under the sanction and at the expense of himself, of our own, and of other enlightened Sovereigns. It is not, however, for the purpose o f ma ki ng th e foregoing pref a t or y bservations, that I write to you, nor yet for that of saying that nothing shall prevent me from expressing my own individual sympathy with the many brave but unfortunate individuals for whom you take so deep an interest, and whose pa tience in poverty and exile must excite respectful admiration in every generous bosom. My object in writing to you is to make some re marks on the approaching Polish ball. I rejoice to learn that it is not intended to postpone it in conse• quence of the arrival of his Imperial Majesty. I am convinced that the committee have acted wisely in coming to this decision. I feel sure that the Em peror would not have felt at all obliged by the post ponement, and that he would, however mistakenly, have considered it as rather an act of servility than civility, and, therefore, rather deserving of contempt than gratitude. Indeed, it would have conveyed no very flattering compliment to his own feelings. If, indeed, the ball were to be postponed on account of any other fete on the same day, which would inter fere with its success, that would be a very different and very proper reason for the delay. I trust that the Emperor will understand that no incivility to him personally is conveyed by those who like myself intend to be present at the ball : any in tentional slight or affront to so distinguished a foreigner would be disgraceful to our national cha racter. lam sure you will allow me to take this opportunity to address a few words to the Poles themselves. I am convinced that to the greater number it must be quite unnecessary; but there may be some young and ardent spirits who may require to be reminded that the exalted personage who has just reached our shores, i s as muc h th e guest of this country as they are, and that we are not only bound to be hospitable to him ourselves, but also to take care that he receives no incivility from others while residing in the dominions of our Sovereign. We are bound to resent any affront to him as if it was committed against ourselves. The Poles would show a very ill sense of any obligation that they may owe to Great Britain, were they in any way to treat with con tumely one who is now trusting himself to British courtesy and British honour. Moreover, they should remember, that any improper conduct on their part would deeply injure them in the opinion of their friends in England and elsewhere, and might prove, at some future time, most prejudicial to their coun try. I repeat, that I am convinced that, to the far greater portion of the Polish exiles, this warning is entirely unnecessary.—Believe me, my dear Lord, yours, very truly, NORTHAMPTON. London, June 3, 1844. To Lord Dudley Stuart, &c., &c. BANK OF AUSTRALASIA. On Monday the tenth annual meeting of the Share holders in this Banking Company took place at the offices of the establishment, Moorgate-street. J. S. Brownrigg, Esq., M.P., in the chair. The Secretary (Mr. Millikin) having read the adver tisement convening the meeting, and some preliminary observations having been made in reference to reading the report before the re-election of Directors, The CHAIRMAN said that before he read the report, he wished to state to the Proprietors that the Directors on the present occasion met them with great anxiety ; be cause, they were desirous of laying before them some specific information as to the general state of affairs of the Company. In the present report he thought they would find that such specific information was afforded, and when he had read it he should beg to be allowed to make a few observations on various points, to remove any doubts that might arise in the minds of Shareholders. However, before doing this, he should wish to advert shortly to what had occurred at the last annual meet ing. There were two or three points suggested then for the consideration of the Directors which had received their anxious attention. Some of those suggestions would be found and alluded to in the course of the re port, and there was only one upon which they (the Directors) had not thought it their duty to act. That one was the suggestion that the re port should be printed and published some few days before the meeting took place. They had given their best consideration to that subject, with great anxiety to comply with the wish of those who advocated the plan, but they remained of the same opinion as at the last meeting, namely, that it would be impolitic for the interests of the Company to do so. There were no doubt a great many arguments in favour of the course pro posed ; but, in the minds of the Directors, and in addi tion to reasons formerly urged, they did not do away with the objection that the publication of the report might be brought to act upon the value of the shares, and the parties on the spot have an advantage over those who resided at a distance. Besides, there was the other important objection, that the minds of Shareholders might be unduly prejudiced by the publication of a re port without necessary explanations, and hence so long as the Directors were allowed a discretion on the sub ject they thought it would be best to adhere to the pre sent course of laying the report before the Shareholders at the meeting, to whom it was competent to move an adjournment for its consideration, if they thought proper. The CHAIRMAN then read the report, which was re ceived with much apparent satisfaction " The Tenth Annual Report by the Directors of the Bank of Australasia to the Proprietors, assembled at the Meeting held at their Office, ls.o. 2, Moorgate-street, on Monday, the 3d June, 1844. "In laying before the Proprietors the result of the transac tions of the Bank for the year of account ending on the 16th October, 1843, at this the Tenth Annual Meeting, held in compliance with the provisions of the Charter of Incorpora tion, the Directors are desirous of reminding them, that in their last two reports the distressed state of the Australasian Colonies was adverted to in strong terms. It is with feelings of disappointment and regret that they have now to inform the Proprietors that the severity of the pressure then noticed had since augmented to an unparalleled degree, shaking the credit and involving the ruin of large classes of the commu nity, and had continued to the date of the latest advices with but little mitigation. " Proprietors, will, therefore, not be surprised to learn that, in the general distress this Corporation has not escaped with out heavy losses, and its interests might have been more seriously affected, but for the precautions taken by the Di rectors at the commencement of its business, and since stea dily adhered to in the accumulation of considerable reserves to meet such adverse circumstances, inseparable, even in ordi nary times, from large and distant operations like those of this Bank. " The Directors have, however, the satisfaction of stating that the accounts which they have received from the various managers of branches, carefully revised in each case by the Superintendent, and examined by themselves, enable them to assure the Proprietors that the irrecoverable losses are more than amply provided for by the funds set apart for that pur pose, and that the debts due to the Bank of a doubtful cha racter, though it is feared they may prove of considerable amount, are not expected to be of a magnitude, even under the most unfavourable view that can at present be taken of them, to involve any serious impression on the rest. "The Directors think it necessary to advert, in this place, to a large advance made, in March, 1843, to the B an k o f Australia, at Sydney, under circumstances of a peculiar cha racter, which was joined in by this establishment, to the ex tent of 150,0001., the knowledge of which, at the time, caused much anxiety. " It is not now necessary to bring under review the reasons which induced the superintendent and local board at Sydney to take this important step, but it is incumbent on the Directors to assure the Proprietory that arrangements have been entered into for the repayment of the advance, of the perfect safety of which they entertain no doubt; and to add that, immediately they received accounts of this transaction, they issued instructions to prevent the recurrence of any similar ones, taking occasion at the same time to reiterate their previous orders limiting the amount of accommodation to all parties within moderate bounds. " The experience which the Directors have now had of the general working of the Bank having satisfied them that the smaller branches aro not productive of benefit commensurate with the capital they absorb, and that they also divert the attention of the Superintendent from duties of greater im importance, authorised Mr. Hart to withdraw from those districts, which, in his opinion, did not afford a sufficient field field for banking operations. " Acting under these instructions, Mr. Hart had made ar rangements for closing the Bathurst branch on the lst of March last, and he would probably adopt a similar course at Maitland. "By these measures the Directors hope to effect a reduc tion in the expenditure, and, by concentrating the business, to place it on a safer footing than when spread over a wider surface. " During a period of such unexampled distress and com mercial embarrassment as that which has prevailed in the Colonies for such a length of time, it required a person of no ordinary ability, prudence, and judgment to watch over the interests of the Corporation ; and the Directors have much satisfaction in stating that the Superintendent, Mr. Hart, has proved himself to possess those qualifications in an eminent degree, and to be thoroughly competent to the discharge o f the important trust confided to him. " Impressed with a deep sense of the importance of a due superintendence of the Bank's affairs, and of the serious in convenience which might arise from a temporary suspension of the office, the Directors have deemed it expedient to send out to the colonies a person competent to assist the Super intendent in the performance of his onerous duties, and who, in the event of casualty, could temporarily administer the affairs of the Corporation, until other arrangements could be made from home. "The gentleman appointed to the office is Mr. James John Falconer, a person of considerable mercantile experience, and to whose character and qualifications most satisfactory testi monials have been received. " The Directors have now to present theusual statement of the accounts for the year ending the 16th of October, 1843, from which it will be seen that the profits have exceeded those of the preceding year, but the Directors have deemed it advisable to appropriate out of them this year as large a sum to the Bad-debt Fund, as is compatible with the payment of the dividends. The amount of the rest, or un divided profit, at the 10th of Oct., 1842, as shown at the last annual meeting, was To which are now to be added tte profits realised both in the colonies and London, to the 16th of Oct., 1843, after defraying all expenses in curred ....£83,441 8 9 From which sum has been taken this year, to be placed to the credit of the Bad-debt Fund -£29,000 0 0 Deduct therefrom the follow ing payments to the Proprie tors, viz. : April dividend, 1843 £27,000 0 0 October dividend, 1843 £27,000 0 0 Leaving as the amount of the rest, or undivided profits, on £114,413 1 0 54,441 9 9 £168,854 10 3 54,000 0 0 the 16th of Oct., 1843......... £114,854 10 3 "In deference to the wishes expressed at the last annual meet ing, and under the peculiar state of affairs in the Colonies, the Directors also annex a statement, showing the amount and appropriation of the Bad-debt Fund, which has not hereto fore appeared in the accounts submitted to the Proprietors, although the existence of the fund was not unknown to them, the prudence of having accumulated which, in times of pros perity, will, the Directors trust, be now fully apparent. Balance of Bad••debt Fund at October, 1842.. £32,952 11 6 Added thereto at October, 184.3 From which sum is t o b e d e d ucted the amount 11 6 of the wholly irrecoverable debts to the pe riod of balancing the books at October, 1843, 16,639 18 0 Leaving to meet th e f urt h er l osses which may arise on doubtful debts, but the exact amount of which cannot be ascertained until each account is finally wound up " The loss upon these doubtful debts can at present be only a matter of conjecture, subject to a variety of contingencies. Should the state of the colonies improve, and the value of the main property in them, namely, land and stock, advance, such improvement must tend to diminish the ultimate losses of the Bank ; on the other hand, a long continuance of the existing state of depression must of course aggravate them. " But the Directors think they may repeat with confidence what has already been declared in the report, that even if the amount now available to meet losses should prove in adequate, and involve an encroachment on the rest, it would not, under the most disadvantageous circumstances that they can at present contemplate, be of considerable extent, com pared with the sum now standing at the credit of that account; and any encroachment would become altogether unnecessary, if the profits of the next two or three years should admit of further moderate additions to the Bad-debt Fund. " Agreeably to the wish expressed Ly several Proprietors at the last meeting, a balanced account of the assets and liabilities of the Corporation is also given, showing, in con nexion with the other two statements, the actual position of its affairs. . . . . _.
