By the local the Gsh George IV., chap. 179, sec. 199, the overseer and church wardens. were rs quired to convene such a meeting, on every first Monday after Easter, and accordingly they called such a meeting on the 4th of April last, stating in the notice that if any pull was demanded it would be taken on the two following days at the Town-hall, At this meeting thirty-three gentlemen were put in nomina tion, and eventually a poll was demanded and commenced on the following day. The next morning, however, seven other gentlemen were put in nomination before the poll opened, but the ele,cting officers refused to receive them. At the close of 'the first day's poll, there being two rival lists, the overseers and churchwardens, seeing that the result of the poll was likely to go against their own party, induced three of the gentlemen who had been nominated to resign, and thereupon the remainine, thirty were declared to be duly elected. They, however, hadjno power to do that, nor had the parties themselves any right to rerige, since they were bound to undertake the office in the event of the rate-payers selecting them to file it. On. the first d sy, only thirty rate-payers out of some 4,000 and 5,000 polled, the others, no doubt, re lying upon the rule that after a pull had been demanded all the nominees were bound to go on with it to the close of the couple of days, and to serve, should they be elected by the mnjurity. The Coutt would, therefore, perceive that great injustice would he done to the rate • payers if any of the nominees could resign in this !lim ner; and as it was evidently contrary to law, it was eoped there would be no.difficulty in greeting the appli cation. Mr. Justice WicaTNAN—You may take a rule to shuvv ease. Rule nisi accordingly. SHERIFFS' COURT.--(THIS DAY (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL.) EXTRAORDINARY CA SE. —WHURR U. SMITH AND WIFE. This was an amion brought to recover the sum of 954 4a. 6d., for the board and lodging of defendant's wife, before marriage, under very peculiar circumstances. The plaintiff is a tailor, residing at Selbridge.place, Westbourne•park, and defendant bad been in his employ as a jourceyman, in consequence of which he had an op poriunity of forming an acquaintance with the sister of plaintiff's wife, and eventually a clandestine marriage touk place, as it was alleged, whilst she was of weak intellect and under age. Shortly after plaintiff was ar rested on a capias, to prevect him leaving the country, defendant and his wife having sworn to a debt being due to them of 45/., but subsequently defendant's wife wrote a letter expressiug her deep regret that plaintiff had been arrested on an unjust cause, and assuring him that she was in a state of temporary insanity when she joined in the proceedings and aworo she had a claim against him. Plaintiff sued for two and half years' board and lodging, at 304 per annum, and for goods supplied, and medical attendance on Mrs. Smith. Itt the examination it was shown that Mrs. Smith was entitled, under a will, to a sum of 2001., and that plaintiff received, and kept the interest. The witnesses for the defendant considered that Mrs. Smith was treated more like a servant than a relative, and by no means in a kindly manner. That Mrs. Smith was, unfortunately, at intervals, affected with aberration of intellect, was admitted on both sides; and she had been two or three times in Hanwell Lunatic Asylum. The Learned UNDER. SHERIFF said that, by not plead. ing, the defendants had admitted that there was something due, and left it to the jury to say, from the evidence, how long defendant's wife was a servant, and how long boarding and lodging with the plaintiff, when too ill to be able to do domestic work. The jury gave a verdict for 701. 15s. IVIARLBRO'-STREET.-(T HIS DAY.) CHARGE OF FRAUD.—Ann Maria Tolfrey was placed before Mr. Bingham charged with obtaining the sum of 351. from Mr. William Richardson, boot maker, 19, Sun street, Bishopsgate.street, under false and fraudulent pretences. The prosecutor deposed that in the month of July, 1848, he became acquainted with the prisoner through a sister of his, to whom he had advanced 501. to carry on an action against a man for breach of promise of mar riage. After the action was settled the prisoner sent a letter to him by his sister stating that if he let her (prisoner) have the 501. that he had advanced to his sister, she would get him a Government situation. In consequence of this communication he went to the de fendant's house in Coventry -street, where he saw her. She then told him that if he advanced'her 501. she would get him an appointment as messenger in a Government office. He replied that he would do so provided he was satisfied the affair was right. She said, " Oh, you have no occasion to doubt me. I am a person of great in fluence, and am personally acquainted with Lord Alfred Paget, and he is the person to whom I shall write to about the appointment, and I will let you know the re sult in the course of a few days." She then pressed him for some money, but Le declined to advance any at that time, but a few days alter he sent her 15/. by his sister. About the 10th of July in that year, 1848, he received from the prisoner the Lett-.‘r produced, which was to the ffcct that if he waited upon her she would give him the necessary documents appointing him to the situation. He accordingly called upon her the same day, when she ,howed him a letter which she stated she had received from Lord Alfred Paget, wherein his Lordship informed her that he had succeeded in getting him a situation in the Home-office through her irecom• mendation. She then asked him for more ,money, and he gave her 10/. She wanted another 101., but not having so much pith him he asked her to accompany him to his house, when he would give it to her. She went home with him and he then gave her the money. After that, in October, 1848, she called upon him and told him that he was to be installed into his situation on the following Monday, on which day he was to meet Lord Paget ut her house, and that his Loidship would be his surety. lle went there on that day, but the pi i soner had left the place, and no one knew where she leas gone to. This excited his suspicions, and on his calling upon Lord Alfred Paget, he was informed thut his Lordship knew nothing at all about the pri soner, and that she had used his Lordship's name with out his authority. \Vitness saw nuthing more of the prisoner till last night, when ho met her at Knights bridge. He followed her to her lodgings, 17, Park-side, and having procured' the assistance of a constable, gave her in charge. The prisoner, who is suspected to have duped others by similar•means, was remanded for a week. NATIONAL BANK OF IRELAND. The fifteenth annual general meeting of the proprietors of the National Bank of Ireland was held yesterday, at one o'clock, at the office of the society, 13, Old Broad-street, when, pursuant to the deed of settlement, four of the directors went out of office, which created four vacancies in the office of director to be filled up. On the motion of T. LAMM MURRAY, Esq., OcrAvius OMMANNEY, Esq., was called to the chair, who requested the Secretary to read the advertise ment calling the meeting, and the report of the directors. The SECRETARY read the report as follows : REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS OF THE NATIONAL BANK OF IRELAND, MADE TO THE PROPRIE TORS AT THE FIFTEENTH ANNUAL GENET , L MEETING, HELD AT THE OFFICE OF THE COMPANY, No. 13, OLD BROAD-STREET, LON DON, ON WEDNESDAY, THE 22ND MAY, 18,50. The directors have pleasure in met ting the propri,- tors, and submitting for their approval the usual stmt.- meets of the bank's accounts tor the past year. The general result of the harvest in Ir,laud in the last year was on the whole favourable, in respect to the abundance and average quality of- the grain crops, hot Ireland being essentially an agricultural cLutitry, tee ruling low prices of its products have had :a depressing tendency upon the farming ieterest generally. The loss, however, from the disease in the potato crop has proved less than was at one period anticipated. After tour years of unexampled depression and suf fering amongst all classes and interests, it affords the directors much gratification in being enabled to state that there are symptoms of improvement, and indica tions of returning confidence, which, although slow in their operation, are on that account, perhaps, not the less secure. The directors have deemed it prudent to transact a restricted business; it is their intention to continue in this watchful course until the restoration of credit and confidence has produced its effect on the trade, agricul ture, and commerce of the country. Money has been abundant with a limited field for its legitimate employment, and consequently but a low rate ut interest could be obtained for a large amount of sur plus capital of the bank. All the ascertained bad debts of the bank have been written off, and the half-yearly dividends, at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, have been paid. The undivided profits at December, 1843, were : Reserve fund £50,105 4 4 Balance of profit and loss for 1848 £54,c95 17 2 Net profits fur the year ending Decem ber, 1849 73,433 18 5 Deduct hair-year's dividend to Mid- summer, 1849 11,250 0 0 Ditto citto Christmas 11,250 0 0 Balance of profit and loss carried to that account for 1850 B2B 14 1 23,328 14 1 Leaving amount of undivided profits to the credit of the reserve fund at December, 1849 The favourable aspect in political affairs generally has been productive of very beneficial results to the trade of the Unitcd Kingdom, which continues to exhibit the most marked evidences of improvement; and is is hoped that Ireland will, ere long, largely participate in the ge neral prosperity. There are now to be elected four directors, in the room of Thomas Lamie Murray, Esq., Sir Ralph Howard, Bart., M.P., John Clement Ending, Esq., and James Bead°, Esq., whose term of office has expired, but who are re-eligible, and offer themselves accordingly. Approved by the Court, (Signed) T. LAME MUIMAY, Chairman. The CHAIRMAN said the report had so fully entered into every subject connected with the bank that little was left for him to do but to congratulate the meet ing on the state of the accounts during the past year. Although the directors had not been able to receive so large an amount of profit as in the previous year, yet he thought he might fairly use the term congra tulation with reference to their transactions, when they took into account the calamities which had fallen upon the country in which their operations were carried on. It would be needless and out of place for him to enter upon any consideration of the state of Ireland, which was so perfectly well known to most of the gentlemen present ; but he could not forbear to state that, during a period of extreme depression and suffering, with which ' it had pleased Divine Provi dence, doubtless for wise purposes, to afflict the country, it was matter for congratulation to see the, he might almost say, unexampled forbearance and .resignation with which every class of society had endured their afflictions. When a body suffered the members also suffered with it, and perhaps banks, which were most sensitive members of a commercial community, were the first to feel any disorganization or disorder in the body. Their circulation became restricted, and their means were abstracted or diverted to supply the necessities of society. It had been a matter of prudence and necessity with the directors of the National Bank of Ireland to preserve the capital of the bank intact, and with that view they had lat terly had recourse to a restricted business, but they had not restricted the business so as to bring loss on individuals connected with the bank and the country generally, but they had so restricted it with reference to every application for an account with the hank where the directors thought they could not grant those applications with safety. That restric tion had necessarily trenched on the profits of the bank during the last year. The directors, however, had been enabled to preserve the rest and undivided profits of the bank at the same amount as they were last year, namely, 50,0001. Odd, which was sufficient to meet any emergency that might arise in this bank, and was equal in proportion to those of any batilj in the United Kingdom, not excepting the Bank of Ebgland in proportion to the dividends.. It was a' matter of difficulty to place out the superabundant capital of this bank upon safe investments which would yield a good return ; but the directorsi had inscribed the word "security" on their banner, and they would adhere to it in all their 'trans actions with unflinching scrupulousness. The ex penses of the bank had had some little influence on the profits recently, for where they had suddenly left off doing a very extensive business, they could not as suddenly reduce their officers without' doing great injustice to several of them. They had, how ever thought it prudent not to take new hands into their employment, but to endeavour gradually to bring down their expenditure to the standard of the business which they were at present transacting, which would make a very considerable difference in their favour for the future. There was another matter to which he might refer, and that was the expense of their local directors in Ireland. Some apprehension appeared to have existed that they were extravagant in that respect ; but When he stated that the expenses of their local directors did not amount to 9001. a year, he thought the meeting would agree with him in thinking that was a small sum. It afforded the directors and himself pleasure to state that the resource§ of the bank at the present time exceeded those of any prior period.—(Hear, bear.) There really seemed a sort of inclination among the public in general to favour this bank, if he might judge frOm the repeated applications to the- directors by persons doing businses with other banks to come over to this bank, and there appeared to be a greater de gree of confidence placed in it than at any previous period of its existence. He might add that the di rectors had closed the branch at Parsonstown, as it had not answered their expectations. It would be needless for him to enter into any statement as to the future, but he was glad to perceive signs of improvement in the agricultural and commercial prospects of the country, and as that improvement seemed to be gra dual, he hoped it would be permanent also. He thought the transactions of the lucumbered Es tates Commission would tend greatly to improve the country, as they would open up a- field for the investment of capital and the proper employment of the labouring classes. The directors, entrusted as they were with the management of the affairs of the bank, were glad to catch at the slightest ray of light which broke upon the darkness which for some years bad pervaded Ireland ; and he sincerely hoped when the clouds dispersed it would not be attended with the cry of " Breakers a-head," but with the full view of a haven in prospect, to which he trusted the vessel would be safely guided.—(Hear.) Mr. NEwSAM bad occupied a seat on the direction with their excellent chairman, and he was satisfied, from experience, that any questions that might be put to him would be answered in a straightforward manner.--(Hear, hear.) Two years ago he and Mr. Johnson were ousted from the board to make room for Mr. John O'Connell and another gentleman, without the slightest complaint being made against their previous conduct, but, at the sugges tion of several proprietors, he had sacri ficed his own feelings, and had abstained since than from taking any part in the proceedings of the bank. The time, however, had now arrived when he felt that he could consistently break his silence and ask a few questions, without laying himself open to the imputation of being actuated by improper motives.—(Hear, hear.) Passing then to the re port which had just been read, he would take leave to ask whether or no he was right in considering that the gross earnings of the bank fur 1849, after deducting the bad ' debts, amounted to 19,338/. ? He had already mentioned that he was removed to make way for Mr. John O'Connell. Mr. E. SIVITIMIC K observed .that no reproach at tached to the direction for that, as it was the act of the shareholders, and not of the directors.—(Hear.) TbirD Mbition MANCHESTER RACES. (THIS DAY.)

OPENING OF A NEW CHURCH AT DERBY.—Yes terday (Wednesday, 22nd inst.) a new church was conse crated at Derby, by the Bishop of Lichfield, who was assisted by the Venerable Archdeacon Hill and other of the neighbouring clergy. The suin of 841. was collected on the occasion, after an impressive sermon by his Lordship. The present church is erected to the memory of the late Bishop. Shirley, who took an interest in the projection of this move ment a few'years ago, by which a portion of one of the large parishes of L erby has been divided, to be called St. Paul's, and the present parish church erected, affording accommo dation to the north-eastern suburbs of 'this populous town. The erection is in the decorated or middle pointed style, cruciform in plan, and has been built by Mr. John Wood, of Derby, from designs by Messrs. Barry and Brown, of Liver pool, the architects. It is capable of accommodating 600 worshippers on the ground floor.' In the afternoon of the same day, a public meeting was held at the Town-hall, on behalf of the Co-operative Church Building Society, at . which the Bishop presided. The Venerable Archdeacons Hill and Rushton, Sir Henry Wilmot, Bart., William Evans, Esq., M.P., and others addressed the meeting. There is a report current in New York that Capt.

LONDON, r • ir THURSDAY Mr. NEWSAM did not think it necessary then to say more about it, but, adverting to the subj‘ct of pro fits, he must• remind the director, , , that in :848, when Mr. Lamle Murray filled the post of chairman, that gentleman told the propriette:s teat his calculations led him to believe that the ensuing year's profits would reach - to 61,0001. Now, to his . (Mr. Newsam's) mind, the suns now mentioned as the result of the past year's operations was a most prodigious decline, and he should therefore be glad if the Chairman or Mr. Murray himself could give them some explr.nation on the subject.—(Elear, hear.) Did not Mr. Murray make that calculation for the sake of securing the bonus which was declared that year ?--(Ne, no.) The CHAIRMAN, in reply to the Hon. Proprietor, said the bad debts during the past year amounted - to 12,4001., hut that sum had been deducted from the profits, so that the net profits were 19338/. is. • 3d. The large amount of debts was to be attributed to the unfortunate pressure of the times. Their capita!, 110%c ever, was intact the same as when first paid into the coffers of tt-e bank, and there IA as, be sides, a surplus of 50,0001, which had been at quirt d in the shape of profits, and now at credit of 11,t•serve Fund. A retoletian had been passed at a meeting of the bard prohibiting advances being made by the bank to any of the directors, however good the security might be which they °tiered. lie might state with regard to the London and Dublin Rink, that the amount due by them was 10,0001., but when he mentioned the name of Sir 11.1pli floward, M.P., as one of the parties who secured the National Bunk, they would agree with him that the money was safe.—(Hear.) There were also 400 proprietors in the London and Dublin Thiek, on whom they could fall !... m d o d u i n t i t o , n , s t o h e t d h i a r t e e n to o rs do h n e b ld t back, if neceeary, and, remained d s for as a to large t L ultimate payment of the 10,0001. The whole of th e bad debts at the branch banks, which they had taken from the London and Dublin Company, did not amount to more than 3001., while the profits upon them were very large. Mr. LAMIE MURRAY entered into an explanation of the circumstances alluded to by Mr. Newsam, but deprecated the practice of making the annual meeting of a bank, which was so ettensive and intricate in its operations, and which affects every vein and nerve, of the society with which it had to deal, the arena for the discussion of personal questions. He had stated in 1848 that the bad and doubtful debts had then been reduced to 1 9,0001., and he believed at that period very few could say they had their capital intact, with a reserve fund of 50,0001., and only - 19,000/. doubtful debts.—(Hear, hear.) The statement which he then made was not a personal one, bat was authorised by the board of directors, and the matter was net one in which he was personally concerned. On that occasion he stated what their profits had been for successive years, and left it for the proprietors to say what their resources were likely to be in future years. Of course he could not prevent the potato rot, or. help commercial failures, neither could. he find good security for the surplus money of the bank, in order to make large profits. But were the present circumstances of the bank worse than they bad been ? Since the period of which he spoke the resources of the bank had increased by 230,0001., and yet they had been obliged to be watch ful and to abstain from offers to lend money at high rates of interest, until a more prosperous tide of events should set in. It might be said he had a personal in terest in having a bonus divided ; but if that were I. o, the course which he had taken must have been detri mental to his own interests, for he had always op posed every dividend exceeding 5 per cent., though it was well known he might have put an additional 3001. into his pocket by taking an opposite course. Considering the position of Ireland, and the depres sion.which had visited alike all classes, it was a mat ter of surprise, not that their profits should be so small, but that the capital of the bank should remain intact.—(Cheers.) Dr. M`Gree said that it seemed to him that they were not making as much money us they ought to do; the management was not carried on as economically as it ought to be, and .that they incurred more ex penses than were necessary.. He had lately been in Ireland, and, mixing in society there, bad taken the opportunity of asking men well versed in banking affairs of the prospects of thiS bank, and he did not find that it was' considered to be so useful as had been considered probable. He did not admire the great number of inspectors which they em ployed; he objected to the over-payment of the directors ; and . he did not think . that there was sufficient Irbil sympathy manifested in the board. The greater part of the capital was Irish, and he should like to see a greater number of Irish members on the board. He should just suggest to the directors always to keep in mind that the capital of the bank belonged to the proprietors. He hoped that they would endeavour to carry on the affairs of the bank with as much economy as possible; this was just the time when the directors ought to try to screw ,up the expenses as close as possible. With regard to Mr. Newsam having been thrown] out -of the direc torship, he thought it showed the great power which the Irish shareholders possessed. On the whole, he considered that the bank was in a very good position, saving only the item of expenditure. Mr. SMITHWICK said that he had to apologise to Mr. Newsom for having been instrumental ,in changing that gentleman's position. The reason of his (Mr. Stnithwick's) conduct in that particular Was that he considered there was a great want of information in the board of the feelings and position of Ireland, and not sufficient interest taken in Irish affairs. lie thought that some of the directors ought to pay an occasional visit to Ireland in order to ascertain the feelings and wants of that t country e m s ofrreo from c c u u r h a i n t e h l . y t . formation at present. More business, he was sure, he aredntdireestlyvedmtinsteriurstiend. might be done if the gentlemen would only make themselves a little better acquainted with the of of Ireland. This was the reason why he had opposed Mr. Newsam's re-election, in order to change the constitution of the board, and to infuse a new spirit into it more in accordance with the wishes and in terests of the Irish shareholders. The CHAIRMAN 'Wished to say a word' in answer'' to the Reverend Gentleman'a (Dr. M‘Gee's) observations. He had already alluded to the reason why they had nut made larger profits, this year. It was not owing to the losses which they had sustained, which had been much - less than they might have "been, owing to the . vigilant superintendence of the directors. The qaestiOn' of the inspectors had already come undertfie consideration of the board. • As regarded th e direCtor', ;Veiny paid too much, there, also, he w as li ap i i y! lo say , they had anticipated the Rev. Gentleana :They-bad effected a reduction of 1,000/. Gentleman,..: a year, and he suet say- that I the remuneration which the directors at IpreSept re ceived was not too much f or t h e i r unbeisieg exertions in the service of the bank. He did not think 'that there was the slightest wish on the part of the directors to underrate' the importance of the Irish interest in the bank ; he considered that some'of the Irish branches of the late London and Dublin Bank were decidedly the -best paying branches The re ason was th a t th ese -branch es had had ha s d. such a thorough sifting, at the ex pense of himself and other proprietors of that bank, they 'could not well be Otherwise. He did not' think there complaint of want of acco m; he considered that they had always afforded satisfactory accomodation to the to ish reason bus n fo e .fur e d re at was ion an neighbourhoods in which their branches were. No application had been refused consistent with a proper attention to the interests of the bank. Mr. Smith, wick had said that there was an anti-Irish feeling in the board: Mr. SMITHWICR—No, I softened it down to a want of information on Irish affairs. The CHAIRMAN—WeII, that gentleman should have considered the accommodation which they had afforded to certain unions when other banks had re-* fused all accommodation. He should conc l u d e by printed, and cir culated Mr. RuinsiG, as an English director, was p er f ec tly moving a t h m a n n t t g h e t he report shareholders be adopted, ready at any time to give up his seat at'that board if he did hot possess the confidence of the Irish proprie tors. Be. challenged the inspection of the accounts. and after having devoted so much time and labour excessively hurt at having this want o f confidence to the 'affairs of the bank, he mast say that he felt thrown against them. Dr. .MTTEr: deprecatecrany idea of insulting the English directors. That was not their purpose--they family party to consider we e met carrying on the affairs of the bank, and e t a h l e n r ) e ly as a the so b r e t st of wa p y ri f v , a f te all that had been stated on that point was merely to tell them what the feelings of Ireland were. Mr. ELIDING again professed his readiness to resign if not possessed of the confidence of the Irish pro prietors. Mr. READE only regretted there were not more Englishmen in the board. The present directors were earnest in the interest they took in Ireland. most conscientious in the votes they gav e , an d most whom he objected to, but he wished to s ee English men Mr. Ssturnwicx said it was not Engli s iT g entlemen in the board who knew the country better. Mr. Powaa had a short amendment to move to the report. He was convinced that the bank was not properly managed, and that if it were in better hands the sbares, would be at a premium, instead of being otherwie. He saw very few English shareholders present at the meeting ; there were more r e p or t ers than English shareholders. There was scarcely a month passed, too, but some case of absco n di ng or embezzlement took place among the offic ers o f th e bank in Ireland, but no reference was made to those matters in the report. The.CHAiamAN said, had the bank sustained any loss from the defalcations of any officer, the directors would have mentioned the fact in the report. There had been a defalcation by an officer at Wexford, but Y 1. MAY 23 EVENING, the directors had not the slightest doubt but that the Guarantee - Soc.i.ty would pay the loss. While a clerk or o:her official of the bank was employed in carrying money from one hank to another, it was wholly impossible to prevent him absconding; and he (the Chairman) did not thick it was fair to impute tnose instances of defalcation to the mismanagement of the directors. Ile concluded by proposing the adoption of the report. Mr. LAMM MURRAY had known Mr. Power for a Icing time, and he had always enter tained the highest respect for him, but he was very much afraid that Mr. Power on this occasion spoke under feelings of no slight irritation:—(Heir, hear.) It was very natural that Mr. Power should be vexed with the directors, for his relation had been the cause of the bank sacrificing the largest sum of money that it had ever lost by the dishonesty of any of its servants.— (Hear, hear.) Mr. Power was security for that indi vidual, and had been called upon to pay the amount of hi, guarantee, although he (11r. Murray-,) had re presented to the board the vast services Mr. Power had re:alered the bank in its early days, and strenuously though fruitlea.ly endeavoured to induce the directors to forego some portion of their claim upon him.—(Hear, hear.) Perhaps, then, there was some excuse for Mr. Power speaking so feelingly on the subject of losses, but with regard to removing the bank to Dublin that was a very serious question which the directors themselves could not dispose of. —(Hear, hear.) If the majority of the proprietors, however, thought the capital and affairs of the bank could be better managed in Dublin, he was quite sure the directors would be the last to objeet to it. • No one seconded Mr. Power's amendment, and it therefore' fell to the ground. The motion for the adoption of the report was then put and carried unanimously. Mr. NEWSAM then rose, to move a series of resolu tions reflecting upon the character of the direction. The Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to advert to certain advances which had been made to some of the di rectors during the time he was on the directory. Dr. MGRE protested against such a course, think ing it a breach of confidence and trust for a director to divulge what had taken place at the board while he was a member of it.—(Hear.) Mr. NEWSAM said he was ready to concede that point, but be was, at any rate, justified in, alluding to transactions which had taken place-since his re, tiretnent, now two years ago. . He concluded by pro posing a series of resolutions. The resolutions were not seconded. The CHAIRMAN said the resolutions were evidently contrary to the provisions of the deed of settlement, and even had they been seconded, he should have been unable to put them to the meeting. They would also, in fact, amount to a want of confidence in the di rectors ; for if the meeting adopted them it would seem the proprietors were of opinion that the board had granted loans without good security. He could assure the proprietors that there never had been on the part of the directors any intention to use the bank's money for their own private purposes, but, on the contrary, that their earnest desire had beer} to pro mote in the utmost degree the prosperity aad success of the bank.—(Cheers.) Mr. LAME MURRAY said it was extremely painful for any gentleman in the position of a director to have an accusation brought against him, but, in the present instance, the pain which the allusions of Mr. Newaam were likely to produce, was greatly elle. viated by knowing the quarter from whence they came.—(Hear.) Mr. Newsam did not like him, and the secret of his present opposition was to be found in the fact that he (Mr. Lamie Murray) had opposed his remaining on the board, because he ven tured to think he was a very unsound man of busi ness.—(Hear, hear.) As to the transactions which he had had personally with the bank, there were none of them which might not . be placed before the whole world, and if it were competent for the meeting to pass the resolution :proposed by Mr. Newsome, he was quite able and willing to repay at once thu trifling sum which had been advanced to • him by the bank.—(Cheers.) After some further discussion of a desultory nature, The CHAIRMAN intimated that the only busieess remaining to be transacted was the election of four directors in the room of those whose term of office had expired. The retiring directors were Thomas Lamie Murray, Lq., Sir Ralph Howard, Bart., M.P., John Clement Ituding, Esq., and James Reade, Esq.; but they were eligible for reelection, and offered them selves accordingly. The names of the above gentlemen were then put seriatim, and they were unanimously elected. Mr. T. L. MURRAY begged to return thanks to the shareholders, on behalf of himself and his brother directors, for the confidence they had placed in them by re-electing them to the office of directors. They had had a great many personalities flying about that day, but he did not think he was much damaged by the remarks of his ancient colleague on this occasion. Sir B. MacNA . saaak moved a vote of.thanks to the Chairman and directors,•which was seconded by Dr. M'Gee, who bore testimony to the great confidence with which the bank was regarded in Ireland, nu merous instances of which he had witnessed himself when in that'country. The CHAIRMAN thanked the meeting with great sa • tisfaction. Ile was sure during the next year they would carry on the business with much greater profits and much fewer losses, because they would have ac quired greater experience. The meeting then separated, after a vote of thanks to the secretary, Mr. King, for his valuable services, which that gentleman acknowledged in suitable terms. OUR WEDDING-DAY.

AUTO DA Fa IN ESSEX.—We have to inform an astonished world that' an auto cla fe has actually taken place in England, and in the nineteenth century: This disgusting exhibition of truculent bigotry occurred on Tuesday last week at Billericay, in Essex. The facts of the horrid affair are recorded in the Morning Post. The victim of a blind and ferocious superstition was the Editor of the Times, vica riously burnt to ashes under the species of his journal. A con chive of fanatics of the Protectionist order having met at the appointed dine and place, the alleged heretic was denounced by the Rev. C. Day, vicar of Mucking, who appears to be one of the most frantic and violent zealots of his sect. This Day described the Times as an "infamous, abominable, and perjured journal," and accused it of " attempting to set the •labonrers against their employers." The only foun dation for this charge was, that when Mr. Chowler threatened ' that the farmers would drive the labourers to rebellion by send ing them to the workhouse; the Times made the very obvious remark that such a proceeding would only have the effect of causing them to destroy ricks and burn thrashing-machines. But this, in the eyes of sanguinary and prejudiced judges, was enough to seal the doom of the offending journal. .A voice, speaking the sentiments of the whole assembly, exclaimed, "Burn it!" ‘• Yes !" cried the furious though reve rend Day, at once accuser and judge; " Burn it, if you like!" Then followed the execution, which is thus described by an eyewitness:—"A copy of . the Times,' placed on the top of a pole, was then brought out and fonnally burnt in the market-place, amidst the execra tions, of those around." This act of barbarity is evidently the self-same - proceeding with that of the Inquisitors of Spain, who used to burn heretics in effigy, only when the originals were out of the way. Such a wreaking of spite and malice upon inanimate type and paper reminds us of the schoolboy in Seymour's carricature, smashing the weather glass that would point to " rain," or of children generally, who beat or kick the obect over which they have stumbled. The Billericay Act of Faith—or act of folly— will not tend to lessen the peculiar reputation of Essex ; for whilst it evinces the savage passions of the bull, it at the same time betrays the feeble intellect of the calf.—Punch.

JEREMIt.-011 Monday last the students of the East India College at Ilaileybury 113. sernbled t-gether in the college library, for the purpose 01 presenting a testimonial of regard to their former dean and • professor, the Rev. James Amiraux Joremie, D.D.; whose recent election as Regius Professor at Cambridge has 'obliged him to retire from the office he held at ilailey. bury. Tlfi testimonial consisted of a beautiful clock, surmounted by a magnificent bronze statuette of Michael Angelo in hi:, studio, modelled by Feuchere, and cast by Vittoz, suppotteu by a pedestal enriched with mcdiwval mouldings iu ormolu, and bronze caryatides. It was presented by Mr. Cufrie, the senior student, who read an address expresssive of the affec tionate regard and the deep reverence in which the learned professor was held by all the students. To this address, which bore the signature of every student in the college, Dr. Jeremie made a most eloquent and feeling reply, alluding with particular emphasis to the parental relation in which the teacher stood towards his papil, and pointing out passages in both ancient and modern writers in which the office of preceptor was so honoured. In conclusion, he referred to the ornament which was presented to him, and by which,' amidst the grave lessons inspired by the flight of time, his thoughts would be directed to the time when his pupils would re turn home and enjoy the fruits and honours of their official labours in a distant land. The address was received throughout witk repeated bursts of applause, and, at the conclusiop,the students rose in a body to express their en thusiastic sense of the wisdom and kindly feelings which were embodied in it.

The church was nearly filled with the godfathers and godmothers and other members of the con gregation, who appeared greatly interested in.the service. GROSS OUTRAGE.--A few nights since, four of the Earl of Derby's' keepers, namely, Henry Tyrer; James Tyrer, Henry Greenall, and John Molyneux, proceeded to Tinkle pig -lane, ilea?' the Maypole, where they were to meet by agreement, at twelve o'clock, the keepers of the Earl of Sefton. Shortly after their arrival, they heard the sound of persons Approaching, and concluding that they were their expected friends, went towards them. Instead of meeting the Earl of Sefton's men, they encountered fourteen or fifteen poachers, all armed with deadly weapons, and a battle in stantly ensued. The poachers cried, " Kill them." Jame: , Tyrer, Henry Tyrer, and Henry Greenall, were quickly pros trated, add believing that they had accomplished their pur pose, the poachers drew off. J. Tyrer was so dreadfully beaten that his life was considered in danger, but he is re-. covering, as are his two comrade ', who were als o seriously injured. Molyneux escaped with a few slig ht bruises. 'Phis brutll assault, it is supposed, was made in consequence of a poacher having been recently committed for shooting at one of the keepers with intent to kill him. The Earl of Derby has offered a reward of 50 f , for the.apprehension of any of the offenders. A Lu.—Perth and Fremantle WESTERN AU STR ALIA.—Perth journals have so me hand li to the end of January.'

The heart is given to the mother, as they say it asetiages her grief. They hollow out the ground and make a kind of oven in which they bake the body , and after eating it, they throw the bones into ths: hole and cover them over, which accounts for no graves being seen." • • SPIR IT COLOURING.—A parcel of spirit-colouring having been imported from one of the French ports, some doubt existed that it contained a large proportion of spirit, and was therefore taken out of the category of manage-, turgid articles, and rendered liable to a much higher rate of duty, and it having been found, on being analysed by, com petent parties by direction of the revenue' authorities, to contain 75 percent. of froot spirit, it was directed to• be charged with the duty of 30s. 4d. per gallon as mixed spirits. On opening an entrance to some subterraneous passages, which had been long, walled up, at `Vilna, in Po land, there were discovered several ti,,,nnrid dead liodies heaped up in-these • catacombs, one above the other—some seated, others_ lying on the ground. The skin of skveral was similar to parchment; they were internally empty, and consequently so light,' that they were raised with the slightest-effort. Several - bore the remains of the clothit gof monks and nuns. The,existence of these skeletons was .to tally unknown.

This poptilar, though petite, place of amusement has come in for a good share of patronage during the past holidays. It has been nightly crowded, while the perforMances, which consisted of a new drama, entitled The Corn Fields; or Clouds and Sunshine, Sin and Sorrow," followed by other entertainments, have given universal satisfaction. The first piece is a very romantic altair , abounding, as is usual, with thrilling incidents and startling scenes, which are greatly assisted by the pencil of the talented and ifi defatikable proi3rietot, and spiritedly sustained by the numerous and efficient corps dramatique. The Right Hon . . the Earl of Lucan arrived at Cos tlebar House on Friday night. The Noble Lord purposer paying a visit to his estates. , Lord Gough and his son, the Hon. S.

The damage done to the potatoes by the late frosts is not regarded al beyond restoration._ In many places where the stalks appeared completely destroyed they are again throwing out green leaves. Those who at tribute the results of farming to proper management say the present cheering prospects are owing to the care which was taken this year in the selection of :the seed, and in the m.l nuring and geneiral preparation of the soil.

FLORAL FETE AND FANCY BAZAAR IN AID OF THE FUNDS OF THE ROYAL GENERAL ANNUITY FUND. To see beauty, rank, and fashion congregated on any one point, may be deemed by many sufficient reason for rushing to the spot, and, despite of cold, reasoning philosophy, which would place all men (and women, we suppose) on a footing of perfect equality, we confess we cannot resist the tempta tion when we have it presented us. But to see beauty, rank, and fashion encountering inconve niences for the express purpose of doing good, we then deem it almost a virtue to aid and assist in the good work ; and, proceed ing upon the principle of " the more the merrier," we gladly pay the tribute of our admiration where it is so well acquired and so laudably sought. True that the fair owners of those tempting stalls are far more tempting themselves in their words, looks, and manner then mere reason dictates they should-ko us at least. True that they are, neither more nor less, than en gaged in open and privy conspiracy against the pre sent state of our purses, and th at vre may find our selves, on leaving their august presence, mi nus a few coins, and possessed of some ) - very Pretty, very .natty, very spruce article, not perhaps actually and positively wanted by us—(we assert it pleases us all the better if an object so bought is of no earthly utility whatever),—but, we easily console ourselves, when reflecting upon our want of- sober judgment, when we consider, first, that we have conferred a positive benefit upon the fair aider and abettor in the charitable scheme by forgetting our generally l e at s i little g at cost, th e earn hands a distant o f e _ ma t u re considerations in her prese nce ; secondly, to whom and more w e secure, in the event of th e success of the under• taking being what we wi s h it —comple t e , satisfactory we may, the prospect of comfort, under circumstances which in many cases undeservedly threat e n di squ i et and misery. With these thoughts were we induced to look upon the crowds of fashionable and haPP coking people who thronged the Hanover4qUare RoomsV yesterday, and with feelings su c h as t h ese, or better, many more be insti ga t e d t o visit theseroo ms purer sti t ll o:m m o a r y . row and Friday n ex t ; i n ot h er words, we hope the result will to the full realise the anticipations both of those who labour in the good work, and of those who , are ultimately to be'sbenefifted by it.
