'ERATURE. QUAP.TERLY REVIEW. No. CX. Murray. L on d on, 1836. The grievous disappointments to which the Conserva tives ha - re of late been subjected, seem not to have been withrJut their benumbing effect on this leading organ of .sth party. Where it was once bold and uncompromising, it is now tame and deferential nothi n , as if a ll h ope were gone, and g was left for the Tories out to hang their harps on the willows, like the dal, and bewail their ha :i s 'aters of Babylon, and sit down :i fate. The only energetic passage We have been iible to detect in the present Number, is in the notic e of Mr,. Walsh's " Chapters of Contemporary His tory:, where, the Reviewer, lashing himself, though not without an effort, into something like a passion, bursts out i nto tine following tirade : that th Though we need not have hesitated to state our belief Conservativ e leaders in Parliament are by no means anxious to see the present Administration cashiered—we do not hesitate to express our own opinion that, whether we look to domestic or forrn questions, th e ti me i s at h an d w h en a ll I the Conservative energies - of the country must be concen trated on a vi gorous effort to bring about that result. We arc loth to stoop from high to the lowest of the low—but w e must say that we think the matters Conservatives will be very much U„ hil'eae if they d o not ma k e good use of the sentiments of , utterable scorn and disgust which ha ve b een w ithi n th ese 'el" weeks ra i sed in every class of the community—save one or two knots of filthy intriguers and a herd of base expectants --by the developement of a set of jobs more outrageous to the b c r r °wll---the Peerage—and the people—than was ever before of °ught home to any set of persons assuming the name state smen. . The close of this passage is fierce and scurrilous enough, tl-It 'agh at direct variance with the commencement ; for if the Ministry be so bad as they are here represented to be, is it to he supposed that the 44 Conservative leaders in Parliament," 'would not be anxious to see th em 44 cashiered ?" If they sav e no such anxiety, then they must be traitors to their P r inciple s ; and if they have, then their present disin clination to manifest it, is tantamount to a confession that their party is in the last stage of political decrepitude. Token either way, the Reviewer's observations tell against illin self---but thi s j ust now i s qu i te a matter of course w i th th e Tories, who, whether in Parlizment or out of Parlia ment, have scarcely allowed a day to elapse, since the corn nleacernent of the session, without committing some egre glens blunder. All their usual tact and sagacity have de serted them ; they are struck with a panic deeper than th at which affected th e St oc k E xc h ange i n th e y ear 1825, 'and seem literally at their wits' end. That they will ever recover their senses is doubtful, and assuredly by no means to be desiderated, 44 Dinners and Clubs " is an entertain ing notic e of the late Mr. Walker's " Original," in which pa t c h culinary erudition is displeyed. The Reviewer ex °n on the pleasures of the table with a gusto that gives "e quite an appetite ; and speaks, with the veneration they deserve, of the invaluable qualities of a " bottle of 143°° es d old port." N or d oes h e affect to sneer at the cepa ie of a b o il ed " edge-bone of beef ;" a forbearance for Wulel l We hold him in esteem, even though he be a Tory. But, indeed, his article throughout is characterized by ex treme liberality of sentiment. Because he himself is fond eharnp a i ne, he does n o t t urn u p hi s nose at s h erry ; t;: r e d ?" his ad m i rat i on o f we ll - d ressed game blind him to virtue s of the old-fashioned beef-steak. He is even o , t°ler an f g i n and water, and can recognise merit ,vea n the pl e b e i an rasher of bacon. We have se - - 1 7n read a more li ve l y, amusing article, or one more highly seasoned with anecdote. It i s l earne d t oo , we tafight al most say abstruse, to a degree that might excite Joann a envy of th e venerable Ude himself. " Dramas, by v aa na Bailli e, " speaks of the recently published tragedies patriarchial poetess, in terms of eulogy, but not e than they deserve. " Henningsen's Campaign with the Glu t ~alaca.rregui " furnishes us with some curious details of British ?Punish civil war, previous to the appearance of the of course, Legion on the scene of action. The Reviewer is, too anxiou s for the success of Don Carlos, but has • - much quick-wittedness to speak confidently on the sub- Ject The 7,50 contents himself with a modest expression of hope.

L on d on , 1836. tetheThe bentpr Number of this useful periodical, which, to -o(4l'r some dozen others of the practical class, is the superintendence of Mr. Loudon, so well known :4 his horticultural writinms, contains some notices respect the competition designs for the new Houses of Parlia • 14, Which, at the present juncture, will be read with Interest. • „,,_ -EN c y ct OPiEDIA BRITANNICA. . 4 . - ,” Part before us is the fourth of th e t we lf t h volume t : h t h is Enc y c loptedia—th e b es t o f it s ki n d i n t h e l anguage, a e illa i°ritY of it s contributors ranking foremost among the tabor s arid of the day, for th e i r acqua i n t ance w ith art , sc i ence, g e neral literature. The historical article on Italy is carefully and eloquently penned by one who is well versed in his subject, and has the art of rendering it (trite as it may be) extremely interesting to his readers ; the same may be said of the account of the rise and progress of the sugar plantations of Jamaica. The plates arc chiefly on Ichthyo logical subjects, and are neatly engraved. SCOTT'S PROSE WORKS. Vol. XXIII. Cadell. London, 1836. This volume contains the " Tales of a Grandfather," one of the most popular of Sir Walter Scott's prose composi tions—and is embellished with an exquisite engraving of Stirling Castle, from an original design executed in Tur ner's most poetic style. WALKER'S PRONOUNCING DICTIONARY. Cadell. London, 1836. This edition, by Mr. Smart, of that valuable work, Wal ker's Critical Pronouncing English Dictionary, is here brought to a conclusion, and unquestionably is by far the completest of any that has yet appeared. The present Part, which is the tenth, contains some useful observations on the pronun ciation of Greek, Latin, and Scripture names, from which the English student, who is acquainted only with his mother tongue, will derive many beneficial hints. CHURTON'S BRITISH POETS. E. Churton. London, 1836. Completes the works of Milton, and contains some few of his hymns, and the whole of his Latin poems. The Number is embellished with a passable engraving from Mar tin's well-known painting of the " Crucifixion." THE ASSEMBLED COMMONS. Churton, London, 1836. A serviceable little volume, embracing accounts of each Member of Parliament, particularly of his family, his de scent, political opinions, &c., together with the state of the polls at the last elections. The work is of most convenient size, and is embellished with a sketch of the interior of the House of Commons. BEN BRACE, THE LAST OF NELSON'S AGA2IIEMNONS. al' CAPTAIN CIIAMIER, R.N. In Three Vols. R. Bentley. London, 1836. This is just such a yarn as we should expect from the mouth of the identical veteran whose autobiography it pur ports to be. We have all the quaint humour, the garru lity, the strange mixture of dare-devil courage and supersti tious fear, the recklessness of consequences, and the im passioned impulses by which the superannuated tar is dis tinguished from that portion of God's creatures known on board ship by the style and title of " lani-lubbers." Much, however, as we like " Ben Brace," we do not think it equal to the author's novel of the " Unfortunate Man.' Its great faults are diffuseness, and want of power in the impassioned scenes—faults, of which we found no traces in the novel just mentioned. " Ben Brace" will certainly become popular—and deservedly. MUSIC. THE MUSICAL LIBRARY.—PART XXIV. C. Knight. London, 1836. A publication admirably adapted for the drawing-room, containing a choice variety of instrumental and vocal com positions, by some of the most eminent musical professors of the day. The form of the work is very commodious, and the price moderate. MAGAZINES-CONTINUED. THE SPORTING MAGAZINE.—Pitman. The pictorial embellishments for this month are exceed ingly beautiful. " Casting the Net" represents two men on the opposite sides of a small peninsula, formed by the meandering of a deep tranquil river, the one casting, the other hauling his net. The task is rather difficult, judging from the sedginess of the banks. " Pheasant Shooting" is not so well finished, or rather the effect is not so good, owing to the concealment of the sportsman, who is hardly visible through the trees. The letter-press is, as usual, full of matter interesting to sportsmen and amateurs of the chase. THE NETV SPORTING MAGAZINE. Ackernzann. This is the best Number we have yet seen of this publi cation. Its embellishments are a full-length portrait of the Earl of Jersey, and an engraving of " Sir Hercules," a ce lebrated hunter. There is a very good article on the " Preservation of Game and the Means of Trapping Ver min." The lists of winning, breeding, and exported horses for the year 1835, are very carefully and fully given. THE CHRISTIAN REFORMER. Sherwood, Gilbert, and Piper. This Periodical continues to support the religious opi nions of the Sect to which it belongs with extraordinary talent. " Notes on Passages of Scripture" contain, as usual, original and sometimes striking views of scriptural truth. In the article headed " John Pym, the noble minded Patriot," we find the conclusion of a speech ad dressed by that celebrated Reformer of the " olden time" to the Lords, in a Conference between the two Houses, which it might be for the benefit of some Members of the Upper House to read and meditate upon. There is in this Number a much fuller Report of the " Judgment in Lady Hewley's Case" than has yet been given to the public ; and in the account of the late proceedings at the Orphan Work ing School, City-road, we find an additional illustration of the working of the civil-and-religious freedom principle, in the persevering and persecuting hostility of the Indepen dents towards the Presbyterians. THE MONTHLY REPOSITORY. " The Provost of Bruges" is a criticism on the tragedy of that name, in which the writer endeavours con amore to illustrate the principle that " mere conventional nobility is a hoax upon mankind." " Songs for the Bees," by the au thor of " Corn Law Rhymes," are every way worthy of their distinguished author. " Remarks on the Constitution of Man, considered in relation to external objects, by George Coombe," from the pen of Mrs. Loudon, is an interesting paper on a subject of the greatest importance. There are several other articles in this Number which we should have been glad to notice, but for want of space. LONDON AND EDINBURGH PHILOSOPHI- CAL MAGAZINE. Richard Taylor, Red Lion Court. The present Number is enriched with contributions on various interesting subjects of science, by Sir David Brewster, Mr. Faraday, Professors Powell, Daubeny Wagner and Forbes, Messrs. Ritchie, Barlow, and other eminent men. The controversy about Newton and Flam steed is continued. The author of the Review in the Quarterly," in which Newton was vilified, smarting under Mr. Whewell's exposure of his ignorance and malevolence, returned—unfortunately for himself—to the subject in the last Number of that work ; and has thus afforded Mr. W. another opportunity of inflicting upon him such a castiga tion as he will not soon forget. There is also an excellent paper on the same subject by Mr. Rigaud, the Savilian Professor of Astronomy in Oxford. MAIL COACH MJLEAGE.—It appears by an ac count presented to the House of Commons, that the amount paid by the General Post Office to Mr. Vidler for the supply of mail-coaches, in the quarter ended Jan. 5, 1835, was 8,1701. 3s. lid. ; and that the amount to be paid to the new contractors for the same purpose, in the quarter ending the sth April next, will be 5,2391. 17s. Bd., being a saving of nearly 3,0001. ARTISTS AND AMATEURS' CONVERSAZIONE.- The ordinary monthly meeting of this Society took place last evening, at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen -street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, with a larger attendance of artists and their friends than has been seen at its rooms during the pre sent season. The display of works of art was of the first order, and the proofs of forthcoming works of the graver were highly creditable to the talent of the professors of this branch of the fine arts. OXFORD, FEB. 29.—This day the Heads of Houses assembled to take into consideration the resolutions submitted to them by the great body of resident members of Convocation. Both resolutions were rejected by considerable majorities. The leaders of the orthodox p arty d efeated in the Board, were the venerable President of M ag d a l en, the Dean of Christ Church, the Principal of Brasennose, and the Master of Balliol. On the other side were, the Provost of Oriel (Dr. Hawkins), the Warden of New College (Dr. Shuttleworth has secured his bishoprick !) Wardens of Merton, &c. M. Garennes, of Nievre, has lately discovered that good burning oil may be made, and that with great p ro fi t, f rom the stones o f ra i s i ns , w h en sufficiently ripe to be extracted from the skin. THE SUN, LONDON, ►THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 1836 PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY. The LORDS did not sit yesterday. In the COMMONS' notice was given by Mr. Wallace that he would to-day move that the Carlow County petition should be printed. A complaint made in a petition against the Assistant Poor Law Commissioner of Lewes was stated by Mr. Goring to be without foundation. Lord G. So merset gave notice of a motion to empower the Committee on the Irish Municipal Reform Bill to make provision for the Abolition of Corporations, &c. Mr. Hume withdrew his Bill relating to the regulation of lighthouses, on being told by Mr. P. Thomson that Government intended to bring in a Bill for that purpose. The Final Register of Voters Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be com mitted on Wednesday week. The Intimidation of Voters Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be referred to a Select Committee. The Prisoners' Counsel Bill we n t th roug h Committee. There was a long and interesting discussion on the clauses, upon three of vhich the House divided. The third clause, however (which was the only one which was not retained, allows parties accused before justices of the peace to be attended by counsel or attornies). Mr. Jervis moved the second reading of the Extra-Parochial Places Bill, but afterwards consented to its postponement till after Easter. Mr. Poulter resumed the adjourned de bate on the motion that a Select Committee be appointed to inquire into the late Municipal elections at Poole. An amend ment moved by Mr. Hogg was rejected on a division. The original motion was then put, and being carried, the Com mittee was appointed—not, however, without Mr. C. W. Wynn's most solemn protestation against this most uncon stitutional interference of the Commons GERMAN AND BRUSSELS PAPERS. - TRANSYLVANIA, FEB. 9.—We now hear for certain that his Majesty the Emperor and King, has, in conformity with the wishes and petitions of our General Assemblies, convoked a new diet, and, as we hear, for the Ist of May this year. The Royal letters patent are expected immediately. BERLIN, FEB. 20.—A Dantzig journal has the following article : _ _ " The Duchess of Dantzig, Ividow of Marshal Lefebvre died lately, and is said to have left eleven millions Of 11;;;: We mention this because among these millions there is one which the inhabitants of Dantzig were compelled to pay to that man in 1807, when he imposed upon us, quite against our will, by the aid of powder and ball, a freedom which was in fact not worth powder and shot.

Wallins, Editor of the Liberal, complaining of the outrages committed in his house, and requesting the Chamber to order an inquiry into the circumstances. The Committee expresses the strongest indignation at the conduct of the per sons who instigated or committed the outrage, and hopes they will meet with prcept and exemplary punishment ; but does not think it necessary for the Chamber to interfere, as the affair is already before the competent tribunal. We learn that the Cabinets of London and Paris have sent to the three Northern Courts an energetic Protest against the measures adopted at Cracow on their demand, against the Poles who took part in the insurrection in 1831. • BELGIAN FUNDS.—Baussims, Fun. 22.

VIENNA, FEB. 21.—The Austrian Observer contains the following article :—" According to the latest accounts from Cracow, the time given to that Republic (in the Note of the Plenipotentiaries of the Three protecting Powers) to effect the evacuation of the territory of Cracow by the revolutionary .fugitives and emissaries assembled there, elapsed without any step having been taken by that Government to carry the mea sures into effect. The Senate contented itself with issuing a simple summons to the Refugees, like that which we commu nicated in our paper of the 16th, without instructing the autho rities to execute the measures required by the protecting Powers, according to their right founded on treaties for the good of the republic itself and the safety of the neighbouring provinces, and without making use of the means placed at their disposal. In consequence but a proportionally small number of such individuals had repaired to Podgorze up to the evening of the 16th, of whom only the smaller part consisted of re fugees, but the majority of persons partly discharged from the workhouses who. had crossed the frontiers to obtain a livelihood, while some of the notorious ringleaders and revolutionists obeyed the summons contrary, con tinued to hold meetings, to form the most absurd pro jects, even of irruptions into the neighbouring States, and to incite to a criminal resistance. Under these circumstances the Plenipotentiaries and the three Courts unanimously agreed that the time was come when they were to act conformably to their instructions, and on the 16th, in the evening, they deli vered a . joint note to the President and Senate of the Re public, at the same time that Major-General Kauffmann, com manding the Austrian Imperial troops posted on the fron tiers, was invited by the Austrian Plenipotentiaries, in the name of the three Presidents, to advance to Cracow with the troops under his command on the following day, the first after the expiration of the time fixed. The occupation of the city of Cracow accordingly took place on the 17th of February, in the forenoon, by the Austrian troops that were stationed at Podgorze." We shall give to-morrow the official documents annexed to this article. We gave General Kauffmann's proclamation yesterday. VIENNA, FRB. 22.-5 per Cent.

IMPORTANT.—CAVAN ASSIZES.-At these Assizes held last Monday, upwards of twenty men indicted for assembling and marching in an Orange procession at Knockbridge, on the 13th of July last, were discharged in consequence of the follow ing letter of his Excellency Lord Mulgrave, written by the Under Secretary to the Crown Council : " In reference to the pending prosecutions against persons charged with marching in illegal processions, under the Act of 2d and 3d William IV., cap. 110, I am commanded by his Excellency to inform you, that in consequence of the resolu tions of the House of Commons, relative to Orange and other Secret Societies, and of his Majesty's most gracious answer to the Address, and of the steps immediately taken by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland, as Grand Master, for the dissolution of the Orange Societies, it is his Excel lency's pleasure that no further proceedings shall be taken in such cases, and the parties concerned relieved from all liabili ties arising from such transactions. It being understood, how ever, that this direction does not apply to persons who, having joined such processions, have also been charged with violence or other misconduct of a criminal nature, His Excellency is induced to take this step, having the mest perfect confidence in the good sense of his Majesty's loyal subjects, that under these altered circumstances there will be no repetition of simi lar violations of the law, and earnestly hoping that the spirit which has led to such unhappy results may, from henceforth, give place to a better feeling among all classes of the comunity. " T. DRUMMOND. " To the Crown Counsel on Circuit." _ This letter, we are informed by the Dublin Post, " produced the most electrical effect, and upon none was the impression more satisfactory than upon the Orangemen." By this liberal and clement conduct Lord Mulgrave has given additional grounds for the gratitude of the country, whose happiness and prosperity are the objects of all his public mea sures. To the Orangemen we would say with Mr. Baron Pennefather, when he expressed his thanks to his Excellency for the course adopted—" The law is not dead—it only sleeps —it has not expired—and Government will be imperatively called on to act with the utmost severity if, after this, the law shall be again set at defiance." A Clonmel Paper gives an account of the apprehension of a murderer, and also of the arrest of another supposed murderer. LONGFORD GRAND JURY. —TITHES. —The Dublin Post refers to a petition to the House of Commons, to be presented by Lord Morpeth, which was agreed to at the Assizes of Long ford. This important document, praying for an immediate set tlement of the tithe question, has been signed by the leading gentry and freeholders of that county, including the High Sheriff, Colonel Henry White, and most of the Grand Jury— indeed the entire of that body, with three or four exceptions.

ACCIDENT AT KENSINGTON PALACE —PRO VIDENTIAL ESCAPE OF VIE PRINCESS SOPIIIA FROM BURNING. —Between twelve and one o'clock on the noon of Friday last, the inmates of that portion of Kensington Palace apportioned as the residence of her Royal Highness the Princess Sophia, were thrown into a state of great consternation and alarm, b . ; loud cries of " Fire, fire I" which, on examination, were found to proceed from the suite of rooms occupied by her Royal tn H he e i s g s Highness, and Princess'scl andond rm A e l sr r ss . i. n Herrington, ae.oreoko rmant herh one ey di dresser,os c f o, h e e r r epdro Royal cheeer d Her Royal Highness, with called to them not ' to be assistance in extinguishino aHlai extraordinarygr alarmed, n e e d ss but enveloped presencetor e i n n d fl eor a f m l e i e s .r mind, the flames, which, with the assistaree of other members' of the household, who came to their assistance, was speedily done. Her Royal Highness's medical attendant was imme imme diately summoned, as were those attached to the house holds of their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent, the Princess Victoria, and the Duke of Sussex, all of whom instantly attended, and we are happy to say, that on examina tion it was found her Royal Highness was but slightly burned on the right side of her neck, her right ear, and eye-brow. The accident, which but for the great presence of mind exhi bited by her Royal Highness, might have proved fatal, was, we understand, occasioned by a spark which flew out of the fire at the moment the Princess was passing the fireplace with a bot tle of spirits of wine in her hands, the stopper of which, in her Royal Highness's endeavours to extinguish a small portion of her dress which had ignited, fell out, and a considerable portion of the spirituous liquid coming in contact with the flame, instantly caught fire, and enveloped her Royal Highness in flames, and there is no doubt, that had not her cries been so quickly heard, she must have fallen a sacrifice, her dress, col lar, and cap, being completely burned. Every endeavour has been made to keep the occurrence a profound secret, but we understand that her Royal Highness, who since the accident has been visited by her Majesty, the Landgrave of Hesse Homburg, the Princess Augusta, Duke of Cumberland, &c. &c., remains considerably indisposed from the fright and effects of the burns, and it was reported last evening in the neighbourhood of the palace was considerably worse yesterday.

These matches came off on Tuesday, and excited great in terest in the sporting world. The day was favourable, and a very numerous company assembled to witness the spirit stirring sports of the morning. The first race was for 10 sovs. each, with 25 added, and the distance four miles. There were six entries, but three paid forfeit. The following started : Mr. Armitage's Saladin Mr. Mevrick's Maid of the Grove Mr. Solloway's Game Cock ... Patrick. Previous to the start, Mr. Vaughan' was appointed umpire, in the absence of Colonel Gilbert, and at three o'clock the word was given, and off they went at a slashing pace. The line was well selected, and of a nature both to try the mettle of the riders and horses. There was one brook at starting, and another at coming in, to say nothing of a mill-pond, which would have proved an almost impracticable jump, only it was discovered to be fordable. Besides these trifles, there could not be less than thirty stiff leaps. The first leap of any mo ment was a brook, which Game Cock refused, then leaped into and threw his rider on the opposite bank. Saladin next took the leap, followed by the mare, in splendid style, fairly vaulting over Game Cock and his rider. Saladin ultimately won the race. The Hack Stakes of 3 sovs. each afterwards came off. Six horses started off over a distance of two miles. It proved a most interesting race, and was won cleverly by Mr. Scott's Buffer, ridden by Mr. Powell, the winner of the Sweepstakes. The leaps were remarkably well taken, especially the last brook, which was taken in a gallant style by all. The roan horse, in particular, cleared a wonderful space, and landed fairly on the crown of the opposite bank. WORCESTER STEEPLE CHASE.

The match was one of extraordinary inte rest, and, from the particular situation of the competitors, a great deal of money was sported upon the occasion. The name of Bloodsworth was in itself a host. He was too good a pi geon shot, and too fair a sportsman to give half a chance away, and gentlemen who knew what things were laid their hundreds and scores with the greatest confidence at the rate of 5 and six to 4on their favourite. Mr. Fox made his debut in the sport ing world about six weeks ago. He entered in the silver cup given at the Red House Tavern. He tied with Mr. Swayne, Mr. Taylor, and Mr. Tapping. In shooting that tie off, Mr. Taylor and Mr. Fox again killed seven out of the eight. Fox eventually beat him well, and aspired to the honour of taking his present antagonist. The friends of each party were confi dent of success. The terms were twenty-one yards, twenty one birds, each charge limited to two ounces. Betting was 10 to 4on the gun, 5 to 4on Mr. Bloodsworth, and 3 to 1 the winner killed 18 birds. Each went in full of pluck, but after the eleventh bird of each party Mr. Bloodsworth had it all his own way. Mr. Fox missed 5 birds of the 18 ; Mr. Bloodsworth killed 18 of his 21. The birds were very fast. Chevy Chace, which is to be produced this evening at Drury-lane, is from the pen of Mr. Planche, the successful author of The Jewess, Gustavus, and other popular works.

It is a plethora —a fulness of the blood—a something which must be vented in self-relief, or it is nothing. In none of th e remarkable eras of Genius do we hear of its having re quired a premium for its exertions. Hogarth had nothing to do with Royal Academies ; nor did Handel receive silver claret-jugs for his music, nor Steele a gold medal for his wit. Men of genius do not wait to have a path pointed out for them by others. No one about the Court of Elizabeth ever dreamt of a taste so ridiculous as that of preferring a theatre to a bear -garden, until Shakspeare and his fellows suddenly starte d up, and dr ove t h e bears out of fashion.

TO THE MEMBERS OF THE LOYAL ORANGE INSTITUTION OF GREAT BRITAIN. St. James's Palace, Feb. 29, 1836. Dear Brethren,—Having already addressed the Orange men of Ireland, in conjunction with official and distinguished members of that institution, recommending to them, in con sistency with his Majesty's expressed wishes, that the in stitution should be dissolved, I now feel it my duty to re commend the same course to the Orangemen of Great Britain. I am confident that their feelings of loyal and dutiful attachment to their Sovereign will induce them to pursue that course which my sense of duty prompts me to recommend, and in my own person thus painfully to set the example. ERNEST. I subjoin the address to the members of the Loya Orange Institution in Ireland. [This has already ap. peared.] LONDON and WESTMINSTER BANK Yesterday the second annual general Meeting of the shareholders in this establishment was held at the London Tavern, for the purpose of receiving a report from the Di rectors, and upon other matters. Mr. P. M. STEWART, M. P., in the Chair. The CHAIRMAN expressed the satisfaction the Directors felt at meetinr , the proprietors at their second annual assem bly, and he believed that the opposition which the establish ment met with was rapidly decreasing. The public were at length beginning to appreciate the system of banking adopted in Scotland. The London and Westmimster Bank had been the first to establish that system in London, and the public now subscribed to the axiom, that there was se curity in a number of partners. The object of the Direc tors in giving an account of their stewardship was to court publicity, and to contradict the fallacy upheld by other establishments in the neighbourhood. Since the month of December, 1835, the business of the Bank had in creased considerably. There were now 40 Joint Stock Banks and their branches which drew upon the London and Westminster Bank, and measures were in progress for se curing. others. It had been rumoured that their losses were considerable. He (the Chairman) would reply to such taunts by stating that in the last year their losses had been under 100/—(Hear, hear.) This was to be ascribed to the extreme caution evinced by the Directors in the ma- nagement of the concerns of the establishment. The in crease of business in the last two months was quit• unpre cedented. After some further remarks the Chairman called the attention of the meeting to the report. Mr. GILBART, the Manager of the Bank, read the re port. It expressed the hope of the Directors that the ac counts for the past year would be found to justify the an ticipations of success which were held out at the former meeting. The result of the statement was that the Directors were enabled, after paying the current ex penses and a portion of the preliminary charges, to de clare a dividend of 4 per cent. on the paid-up capital, and to keep a reserve fund for contingencies. The Di rectors had deemed it advisable to open branches in those parts of the town which had hitherto been, comparatively, without the convenience of a bank. Accordingly, on the 4th of January, branches of the establishment were opened in Bloomsbury and Whitechapel, and on the 29th ult. a branch was opened in Southwark, which held out every prospect of success. From the increase of capital, both in the town and country departments, the Directors had thought it expe dient to obtain a larger amount of paid-up capital, and bad made a call of 51. per share. The total number of shares issued on the 31st of December, 1835, was 17,818, and in the present year that amount had been increased by the grant of 2,500 shares at par to large banking establishments in the country, with the view to strengthen and extend the connections of the bank. The amount of paid-up capital would thus be upwards of 400,0001. when the fourth call was received. " In reference to the measures (the report continued) as threatened by the Bank of England, the Directors liave now to state that the Bank of England has, much to their satisfaction, at length raised in a legal shape the question whether the London and Westminster Bank can accept the bills of their country and foreign customers drawn upon it at less than six months after date or sight. It is a ques tion which cannot arrest the successful progress of the bank nor affect its general business, however it may be deter mined ; but the Directors having commenced accepting from the origin of the establishment under the advice of the present able Counsel of the Bank of England—(Hear, hear) —having since taken much pains to have the subject thoroughly elucidated, and having engaged the most emi nent Counsel, look with confidence to a favourable issue, and it is their anxious desire to obtain a decision as quickly as possible. " The Directors have further to state, that although the question in dispute is confined to the single point of accept ing bills, the Bank of England introduced into their pro ceedings charges against the London and Westminster Bank of violating the exclusive privileges of issuing notes possessed by the Bank of England under Act of Parliament. " The Directors are justified in condemning the resort to E)esecharges, for the Corporation of the Bank of England have been obliged to abandon them altogether, and to admit that they had not any foundation. The Directors much regret that the Bank of England should have adopted such a course towards this Establishment ; but as the main question at issue is still before a legal tribunal, the Direc tors consider they will best discharge their duty by abstain ing at present from any other coniment upon the subject." The Report further stated that the Board had elected William Haigh, Esq., Thomas Farneombe, Esq., and Jo siah John Guest, M.P., as Directors, the number of whom was thus increased to 18. By the deed it was provided that three Directors should go out of office annuolly— those gentlemen were, Sir Thomas Fremantle, Bart.; M.P., Wm. Haigh, Esq., and Pearson Thompson, Esq., who offered themselves for re-election. The following statement of accounts for the last year was then read. On the debit side there were, for payment towards preliminary expenses, 1,000/. ; dividend to pro prietors of 4 per cent. on the paid-up capital, 10,8181. 12s. ; balance remaininc , • of undivided profits, 4,407/. 6s sd. ; making a total 16,22.5/. 18s. sd. On the other side there were, for undivided profits in the year ending Dec. 31, 1834, 1,205/. Bs. sd. ; net profit of the year ending Dec. 31, 1835, after deducting all the current expenses, 15,020/. 10s. ; makinc , together 16,2251. 18s. sd. The CHAIRMAN said there was one important item be had omitted to state in his former address ; it was, that the London and Westminster Bank had been appointed agent to the receipt of one branch of the Government business, which would cause deposits to the amount of 800,000/. a year.--(Hear, hear.) In reply to a question, the CHAIRMAN said the number of accounts opened with the Bank had considerably increased. Mr. SAMUEL ANDERSON (a Director) said, the increase in the number of accounts opened at the Bank, from the Ist January to the 4th Mgrch, in 1835, was 80 ; but in the present year there had been an increase, since the Ist Janu ary, of 220. The CHAIRMAN, in reply to a question, said the Bank had been appointed agent for the deposit of receipts of reve nue collected in parts of Kent and Sussex. The report and statement of accounts were adopted, and ordered to be printed, and circulated among the proprietors. A lengthened discussion took place on a motion made by Mr. Sheriff Salomons, the object of which was to alter the deed, the 41st clause of which provided that if any Direc tor became a Director of any other I3ankinrr Company, he should cease to be on the Board of the London and West minster Bank. Mr. Sheriff Salomons said, as a Colonial Bank was about to be established, and as the Chairman was largely interested in the Colonies, he would, no doubt, be on the direction of that Bank, the Proprietors would, un less the deed was altered, lose the services of their able Chairman. In reply to several questions from Proprietors, The CHAIRMAN said, that taking so great an interest in colonial affairs as he did, it was not improbable that be should be associated with the Colonial Bank, when formed. That bank, when formed, would not, however, interfere with the London and Westminster Bank, though, to a certain extent, it might be a bank of deposit. It would, however, be chiefly for investment. The proposition, however, was eventually withdrawn, several Proprietors speaking against any change in the deed. A ballot for three Directors then took place, and Sir T. Fremantle, W. Haigh, Esq., and P. Thompson, Esq., were elected. Mr. ROBERTS moved that 2,500/. should be placed at the disposal of the Directors, to be applied by them for their past services, up to the 31st of December, 1835. The Directors had had a most onerous duty to perform, and he felt satisfied that the proprietors would support the reso lution. _ The resolution was seconded, and carried unanimously, and Mr. Sheriff SALOMONS, on behalf of the Directors, re turned thanks. A vote of thanks was also passed to Mr. Gilbart and the other managers of the bank for their zeal and attention to the interests of the establishment. Mr. GILBAAT, in expressing his acknowledgements for the compliment, said he could state with confidence that no patronage, no influence, or jobbing had taken place among the Directors. The managers were selected without having been previously personally known to the Board.—( Hear.) Thanks were then given to the Chairman, and the meet ing adjourned.
