INSURRECTION IN tlAYTl.—Advices received in Liverpool state that Salnave had made a demand of $20,000 upon the native princes of Port-au-Prince. If the smount is not paid he will seize their property and slaves and sell them by public auction. The revolutionists hal seized Sal nave's ships of war, the Liberty and the T wenty-Secon I of December, and a number of steamers carrying provisions and ammunition. They had proclaimed the harbour of Port-au-Prince to be blockaded. The British consul, Mr. Byron, was exerting himself to stay the effusion of blood by salam'i •91diera• THE BANK OF ENGLAND. The half-yearly Court of the Governor and Pro prietors in the Bank of England was held yester day at noon, in the Bank-parlour ; Mr. Thomas Newman Hunt, governor of the Bank, occupied the chair. The minutes of the last court were read and con firmed. The GOVERNOR said that the directors had care fully gone through the accounts, and he had to re port that the net profit for the year ending August 30th amounted to £584,369 Bs. 9d., making the amount of rest or undivided profits on that day £3,610,596 17s. ld. After providing for a dividend of four per cent. for the half-year, the rest would amount to £3,028,476 17s. ld. The court of go vernors, therefore, proposed that a half-year's divi dend be made of four per cent., being at the rate of eight per cent per annum, and that the dividend be payable on the 10th October next. Mr. JONES supposed that after the motion for the dividend was put from the chair the business would be finished. Ile wished to offer a few re marks and would like to know whether that was the proper time for so doing. The GOVERNOR replied that the question before the meeting had reference to the dividend, and Mr. Jones, or any other proprietor, would be perfectly in order in speaking on it. Mr. JONES would like the chairman to give the proprietors some explanation of the position of the Bank. It was a great national institution, and to his mind the Governor ought to dilate upon the mode and manner in which its operati,ns had been conducted during the half-year, so that the proprie tors might be placed in a position to judge how the governors had served them. To him it seemed a very defective arrangement that the mere bald state ment which the governor had just read should be the only thing given to the proprietors at the close of so momentous and pregnant a half-year as that just concluded. The dividend remained the same, neither more nor less, but, even at a moment when they were asked to sanction it, the proprietors did not know upon how much capital the dividend was to be paid. He could guess, from what he saw published in the London daily papers, the amount of capital, but no man of business liked guess work, and he should mach prefer having a short statement of accounts given to the pro prietors, showing the capital, and liabilities, and assets ; and he should like to know from the lips of the Governor whether there was any expla nation of their dividend remaining stationary. He had looked in the papers, trying to find out why he was not doing the same amount of business as he used to do ; but he had looked in vain. In one paper he came across the extraordinary statement that capital, like other things, was on " strike." If that were the fact it behoved the Governors to en deavour to find out the reason. It was true that there were millions of capital lying idle, or nearly so, and that both the mercantile and industrial ele ments were starved for the want of it. He thought that the directors frightened the public by changing the rate of discount too frequently, and unneces sarily. If money were perishable, like pears, corn, or potatoes, then he could understand the directors making up their minds to have a clear-out of the stores. He thought that a most opportune mo ment for the Governor to afford some explana tion how it came that while the rate of dis count was 7 per cent. in 1866, the Bank held £34,000,000 securities, and now they had sunk down to £31,000,000, and so a difference in the de mand for discount of £3,000,000 had made a differ ence of 2f per cent. He though the Court should take steps to get to the direct market where money was wanted. At present the Bank only did busi ness with private and joint-stock banks, and of course those banks took off the cream, and came to this corporation asking for the bills to be discounted at a lower rate than they took them themselves, and so left but a small margin of profit for this corporation. He thought the Bank should offer facilities to humble individuals like himself to de posit a few hundreds, and also for discounting securities. By so doing they would make the Bank a truly national institution, and place it in a posi tion to do a sound and profitable business, suppos ing the Government were to withdraw its business. He felt that offering the security it did the Bank of England did not get that amount of money on deposit which it was fairly entitled to expect. He imagined that the Court of Governors would do well to look over the branch establishments and see whether they could not compete with other banks, and afford assistance to agriculturists to develope the resources of the land. Mr. W. BOTLEY differed from the last speaker. lle had no wish to see this corporation made a bank of deposit. He thought that bearing in mind the low rate ruling for money, and the great difficulty of finding employment for capital, the proprietors had every reason to feel satisfied with the 4 per cent dividend. Mr. Jones was quite at sea in many of his remarks, and he felt sure that gentleman had not well considered the question, or he would never have supposed the possibility or probability of the Government, be it Whig or Radical, moving its business from the Bank of England. As to em ploying money in agriculture, every man of any banking experience knew it was a question fraught with very great difficulty. There might be millions of money profitably spent in aiding the development of agriculture in this country, but it was not the province of the Bank of England to spend its money in that way. The landowners might do a very great deal towards it by grant ing long leases, and giving a fair recompense to outgoing tenants for improvements made during the time of their occupation. The same remarks applied in a great measure to manufactures, and he hoped it would never be truly said of this cor poration that it gave an undue and unhealthy stimulus to either one or the other by offering a too ready assistance or undue accommodation to those engaged in those pursuits. Ile was perfectly satis fied with the dividend, and had no doubt most of his co-proprietors were the same. A PROPRIETOR wished to know what was the capital of the Bank. The GOVERNOR replied that the Bank's capital was £14,553,000. It was published every week. The PROPRIETOR knew perfectly well that the amount was published every week, but he wished to know whether all the real property of the Bank, and the rest, or undived profits, were included in that amount. He should like to know whether the branch premises were freehold, and whether they and the establishment they were assembled in were included in the capital. He also wished to know about how much ground the building occupied. The GOVERNOR, in replying to the various ques tions, said that the capital of the Bank upon which dividend had to be paid was £14,553,000. All the rest of the property belonging to the Bank were the profits arising out of the Bank's operations, and it was commonly called " rest." The rest was the undivided profits which the court of proprietors long since decided should never be allowed to fall below £3,000,000. The building in which they were assembled occupied rather over three acres of ground, and its value was not included in the capi tal, but the branch establishments were. As to furnishing accounts, he could not imagine it possible that the proprietors could have better accounts than those which were published week by week by the Bank, and any gentleman at all conversant with its affairs and mode of procedure could very readily find out for himself the true state of the Bank's affairs. There might be some little points of detail better known to the governors, but the general position of the corporation was easily ascertainable. (Cheers.) With regard to the rate of discount beiag different on long and short loans, gentlemen of experience must know that a discount was a PRICE.... 4d. STAMPED sd. short transaction for a short time, and a loan might extend over a series of years, and the rate must be different. In 1866 the discount was 10 per cent., but the Consols were only 24 ; railway debentures, in some cases, were at 5. There were deposits of a permanent character, which the board knew how to deal with, and there were also short deposits, which they might be called upon to pay, and must be pre pared to pay at any moment. As to the Bank not having deposits, he believed the deposits had never been so large—not perhaps at that moment of speaking--as over an average of the last six months. (Cheers.) No doubt the country would be benefited by money being lent to farmers, but it was not the province of this Bank to lend it to them. It could only safely be done by the local bankers, and even to them it was a question fraught with grave diffi culty. With regard to the rate of discount, the explanation was simple. Every one remembered that five or six years ago there was a very great extension of credit, but these sudden and excessive extensions of credit were not always wise. The first effect of it was this, that those who embarked in business were suddenly called upon to pay their debts, and to do that they had to withdraw money from the legitimate operations they were engaged in, and that producel a crisis. What took place in 186 G had been miscalled a panic. It was a crisis arising from and fc.llowing naturally upon too wide an extension of credit, and this crisis out of its con vulsions produced panic. Upon the 12th of May it was a banking panic, when people were seiz with unreasoning fear for the safety of their money, and rushed to the banks and withdrew it, in many instances to replace it in the same bank, finding they did not know what to do with it when they had it in their possession. Thea came a railway panic, when people thought that railway de bentures of all kinds were not worth buying. This was succeeded by a commercial panic, when trade came almost to a standstill ; but through all this the corporation had steered one steady course. With regard to the rates of discount, it of course depended very much upon supply and demand. If there was a large sum of money to lend and a few borrowers, the money must go at a lower rate than if the num ber of borrowers were greater. Whether the bank bad too much money to lend or two few borrowers the result was the same. Some said that the Bank might invest upon some other securities, but they forgot that the Bank had to pay on demand, and it would be useless to tell a man asking for his money that it had been invested in a safe and snug secu rity. The report was approved, and the dividend de clared. A quarterly court was then held in conformity with the bye-laws, and the dividend of 4 per cent. for the half year declared payable on Monday, October 12. A vote of thanks was unanimously accorded to the governor and deputy governors, and the pro ceedings, which were of an unusual length, termi nated. NAVAL AND MILITARY IiV7ELLIGENCE. On Wednesday the 51st Regiment marcked from Aldershot camp to the Farnborough station of the South Western Railway, and at half-past 8 o'clock proceeded thence by special train to Portsmouth, there to embark o❑ board her Majesty's ship Simoow, for conveyance to Portland and Wey mouth. The finding of the general court martial, which assembled at Aldershot on the Ist inst., for the trial of Ensign Elderton, of the Military Train, has just been promulgated. The prisoner was arraigned on two charges of scandalous conduct unbecoming an officer and gentleman, iu having attempted to de fraud oue Richard Harris, the messman, by giv ing him two checks—the one for £B, and the other for £lB—drawn by him (the pri soner) on Sir John Kirkland, the regiment's agent, he at the time well knowing there were no funds in the agent's hands to pay the checks. To these charges the prisoner had pleaded not guilty, and on making his defence strongly denied any fraudulent intentions. The Court, of which Col. J. Gwilt, 34th Regiment, was president, found him not guilty in respect to either charge, and he was honourably acquitted. The 54th (West Norfolk) Regiment), under the command of Lieut.-Col. J. S. Thomson, left Alder shot Camp on Wednesday morning, and marched to Farnborough Railway station, whence it pro ceeded by special train at 10 o'clock to Portsmouth, there to embark on board the Himalaya for con veyance to Belfast. The head quarters and remaining detachment of the A troop of the Royal Engineer Train left Chatham yesterday for Aldershot. The B troop, numbering two sergeants, two corporals, and 50 sappers and drivers, with 45 horses, has also left Chatham to go into winter quarters at Al dershot. The Forte, screw (unarmoured wooden) frigate, 29 guns, 400-horse power, Capt. John 11. A. Alex ander, C. 8., arrived and anchored at Spithead yesterday afternoon from the Thames on her way down Channel for the East Indies. An Admiralty order, received at Chatham dock yard, directs that as there are a numberof vacancies in the several classes of workmen at that establish ment they are to be filled up by the transfer of the workmen from Deptford dockyard, which establish ment is about being eosed. The order further directs the entry of pattern makers, furnace men, and millwrights at Chatham from Deptford dock yard. Lieutenant-Colonel G. D. Pritchard, who com manded the Royal Engineers in Abyssinia, joined at head quarters, Chatham, from leave of absence, to do duty at the Royal Engineer establishment. A SLIP. Typographical errors are always troublesome, and a Western paper is usually distinguished for their number and variety. Occasionally these errors become matter of considerable difficulty to the editor, and add ono more responsibility to many others. For instance, a friend of mine got into a little trouble that way. In a weak moment he agreed to conduct the weekly paper in a mining village for the editor, who was called off on other business. All went well until a leading man among the miners brought in an obituary of his de ceased wife, who was about the only white woman in the village. Now, as items are scarce, it was sent straight to the printer. On revising the proof my friend found that it read, "She was distinguished for her virtue and bene volence." He concluded that the husband must have meant virtues. A proof was accordingly despatched to the husband, with a request to correct it and send it to the printer. My friend went to bed. Early next morning ho was roused by an acquaintance with a paper in his hand, informing him that Jim So• and- So (the author of the obituary aforesaid) "was hunting him (i.e., the editor) all over town." Now, as "hunting" a man means, in the West, going through all the drink ing shops with a huge revolver in hand, shouting " Where is he ? my friend had just reason for alarm, and inquired what in the world he was being " hunted" for ? "Oh !" was the reply, " fun is all right, but you know that item about old Mother was little too much. She mightn't be just the thing, but still Jem thought a sight of her !" It was some time before the temporary editor could understand what was meant, until the paper was shown him with the obituary intimating that "Mrs. was distinguished for her virtue (?) and her benevolence." The husband knew nothing about a proof, and the printer had treated the query as an editor's correction. After considerable difficulty the indignant husband was consoled, and peace was made over " drinks" in the nearest " saloon."—Dickens's " All the Year Round."

CAUTION TO OVERSEERS.—The revising barrister for North Warwick has fined an overseer a sovereign for putting on the list the name of a man who was not entitled to vote. The overseer had made himself liable to a fine of £5. MAKING SURE OF A VOTE.—At Leeds a man named Dent had as a householder put in three distinct claims for the same premises, any one of which was valid.— The revising barrister intimated that he would pass his name, but that he would fine him ss. for having acted in a foolish and frivolous manner, and caused much incon venience. On the claimant, however, stating that he was not aware he was doing wrong, the revising barrister said he would not enforce the fine ; but added that if every one of the 30,000 voters on the list occupied as much time as he had done, the business of the court would not be com- Dieted before Christmas. A NARROW EIVAPE.-At the East Riding revision court, Mr. F. H. Beaumont, M.P. for South-West York shire, claimed as a freeholder, but was objected to by the Conservatives, on the ground of informality and misde scription. After the objection had been put in, the bar rister decided to treat the matter as surplusage, and to allow the validity of the objection. Immediately after wards the Conservative victory was upset by the discovery that the overseer had also placed Mr. Beaumont's name m the £l2 list, which had been published and not objected to. The Liberals immediately claimed the vote as good ,n this head, and the barrister said he should allow the :laim. Thus, by a blunder which neither side knew of, Mr. Beaumont becomes a voter in the East Riding. The Nise caused some amusement. WOMEN VOTERS.—In the course of the registration for East Kent, the barrister was called upon to consider whether the names of thirty-three ladies should be retained apon the list. They had not been objected to by either ?arty, and the court decided that under the circumstances it could not strike them off the register. They will, therefore, be entitled to exercise the franchise in the approaching contest. The same result attended the claims of two women in the East Riding. They were not kjected to, and their names were accordingly placed on the list. One lady, however,wag not so fortunate. She was )pposed by the Liberals, and on the objection being asked, he reply was, " Because she is a lady." She was therefore apunged from the list. CAN A PEER VOTE?—The revising barrister at Chelsea tas restored the names of Lord Exmouth, Lord Durham, and Lord Vivian to the register, for, as peers of Parliament, hey were not excluded from voting by the Act of Parlia• nent, but simply by a resolution of the House of Lords. [`heir names had been struck off on the previous day. THE CLAIM OF A YOUNG MAN.—In Marylebone, on he application of a young man, who stated that he had attained his majority on the 21st of last March, the .evising barrister said at first that he did not think he :ould admit the claim. Subsequently, however, he lecided that it was valid, on the ground that the ninor was liable for necessaries, and that lodgings were tecessary. THE WHOLESALE OBJECTIONS AT YARISOUTII.—The .evising barrister has decided on retaining on the register 'or North Norfolk the five hundred Conservatives objected .o at Great Yarmouth. ATMOSPHERIC RAILWAY BREAK. The trial of Mr. Charles Kendall's break on the London, Thatham, and Dover RailwaY, was not a first and there bre of necessity an inconclusive experiment, but it was an elaborate and severe test of an invention which has been n constant use for three - years on the same line. The oovelty in working the apparatus for the instruction ind amusement of a party of gentlemen bent ,n a day's trip from London to Margate and back, vas the placing full command of the break in the tands of the engine -driver. It is a principle steadily enunciated by Colonel Kennedy for the past thirty-five 'ears, that the driver is captain of the train, and should to entrusted with power equal to his responsibility. That to as well as the guard should have the means of checking or bringing to a stop the carriages in the rear of the ingine, is a condition exactly fulfilled by the atmospheric railway break, which simultaneously blocks he wheels of the whole train, and which may to worked from either end. Among the com pany who left Victoria station, and who, after dining ogether at the handsome and commodious Cliftonville lotel, returned to London the same afternoon, were olonel Kennedy, the distinguished Engineer officer already tamed ; Captain Godbold, the continental manager for he London, Chatham, and Dover Company; Mr. Smythe, he superintendent ; Mr. Martley, the locomotive engi- Leer ; and Mr. J. Davis, assistant engineer to Colonel Kennedy. The first stop was between Sevenoaks trod Farningham, on an incline of 1 in 100, the rain being checked in a speed of 35 miles, and within space of 323 yards. This was considered very satis actory, but subsequent trials were more effective, the 'river gaining skill with each new attempt. His second tull-up was on the level at Sole-street, when the train was :oing 40 miles an hour, and was stopped in a space of 220 rards. The third stop was, for want of time, not measured, out was judged between 160 and 200 yards, at the utmost, he speed of the train being at the time 55 miles an hour. ['his was at a place known to drivers as " Stickfast tank," some distance before the Strood station is reached. °tree more stops were made before reaching Margate, vith increased success. No doubt the mere getting into a .ailway train implies hazard ; but such inventions as Mr. Kendall's break, including, as it does, a plan of communi sation between driver and guard, accessible only to pas. tngers, will tend to reduce danger to a minimum, to make occidents fewer than they are, and to make the big ones ittle. There was another proclamation of outlawry tgainst the Hon. Richard Bothell at the Sheriff's County court yesterday. A drunken woman at Liverpool has suffocated her Baby by laying upon it in bed. The coroner's inquest re arned a verdict of manslaughter. The amount of corn destroyed by the fire at Grange Farm, near Netley Abbey, Hants, is estimated at 1,000 qrs. rho fire is believed to have been the work of an incendiary. About £3,000 worth of corn food was destroyed by fire a few lays since at Winfroth, Dorsetshire. Mr. Reed, one of the candidates for Hackney, as presided over a meeting of the Metropolitan Associa tion for Promoting Cheap and Regular Train Accommoda• ;ion for the Working Classes. Resolutions were carried n favour of an application to Parliament for a bill pro• riding that trains should be run at a distance of ten miles from the metropolis at a penny for each journey. The Irish mail, whilst proceeding from Holyhead to London, appears to have had another narrow escape. gear the Tamworth station of the Trent Valley line a lumber of platelayers were at work, and some large pieces of timber were lying between the metals when the mail approached. The engine struck the timber, and several pieces were violently driven into the front break van. Fortunately the train did not leave the rails, and the passengers escaped uninjured. DEATH OF ONE OF THE FOUNDERS OF MIDDLES. nrtouox.—Mr. John Vaughan, of the well-known iron firm of Bolckow and Vaughan, died on Wednesday, at his London residence, Hyde-park-gate. Mr. Vaughan, who was 69 years of age, was one of the founders of the town of Middlesbrough, and his firm was the first to develops the resources of the Great Cleveland iron district. A BULLOCK IN A BEDROOM. —An amusing occurrence took place in Bridlesmith-gate, Nottingham, on Wednesday morning. Three bullocks were being iriven along the street to market, when one of them entered the shop of Mr. Watts, staymaker, walked up the stairs into a bedroom, and actually mounted the bed. The beast, on regaining the floor, sent its horns through a looking-glass, and also smashed all the crockery in the room. A neighbour, hearing of the occurrence, went up stairs for the purpose of clearing the room of its occupant, but was quickly pitched to the bottom, for. tunately without sustaining any injury. The driver and two policemen then went up, and the animal was ulti. pately got out into _lll9 §4ett dani.49:
