The report of the defeat of GHOLAB SING by the people of Cashmere, which was brought to us by the Overland Mail, is calculated to excite some feelings of anxiety for the preservation of peace in our Northern Indian provinces, and at the same time forcibly illus trates the impolicy of maintaining the system of pro tected native Princes. We are bound by treaty to afford these protected Princes aid and assistance in their wars, and should GHOLAB fail to reduce the Cashmerians we may be called upon to march an army to his assistance. Now, seeing that at this moment all our available force is wanted on the Aifghan frontier, where, in consequence of the death of YAR MAHOMED KHAN of Herat, and the conflicting claims of DOST MA HOMED, of the Khan of Kandahar, and of the Em peror of PERSIA. to that city, war is imminent, it is sufficiently annoyio n to find that instead of having the assistanc e o" "LAB SINGH in such a CM"' juncture, to guard "for us the Cashmere frontier, sae shall probably have to march to his assistance. Wha t renders the prospect of affairs on our northern iron tier still more serious is, the fact that under pretence of chastising the Turkomans for a pretended insult to the Russian flag, Russia bas stealthily advanced a body of 5,000 troops from the south shores of the Caspian into central Asia, and these troops were, ac cording to the last accounts, directing their march towards Herat. If any additional proof were wanting of the superiority of the policy of annexation over that of protection, it is afforded us by a comparison of the present state of Sinde with that of Cashmere. We have always contended that it was impolitic, rash, and dangerous to permit the deposed Ameers of Sinde and the captive chieftains of the Seikhs to remain even as prisoners upon the Indian territory. At the time the RANEE effected her escape to Nepaul we strongly urged the deportation of the Ameers and the Seikh chiefs to either Singapore or Ceylon. We are more than ever confirmed in cur opinion as to the policy of adopting such a course, from the intelligence which has arrived of the discovery of a plot for the escape of the Dewan MOOLIIAJ. It appears that aprivate letter, written in the Naggaree character, having been opened by the authorities, was found to allude to a plan which had been formed to deliver the Dewan from his imprison ment, and to convey him to Nepaul. A sum of 400,000 rupees had been subscribed by different individuals for this purpose. The plot was a very bold one, and well arranged in all its details. The arsenal was to be set on fire, and in the confusion which would necessarily ensue an attack was to be made on MOOLRAJ'S guard, the sentries put to death, and the liberated prisoner conveyed to the river side, where a boat wat to be in waiting to take him across to Hourah. Dewan MOOLUAJ has been removed to Allahabad on account of ill health, and it is supposed he cannot survive many days." When we remember that the RANEE was reported to be suffering from ill-health, and that her death was hourly expected for some weeks before she effected her escape, we must confess we are somewhat sceptical as to the dangerous state of the health of the Dewan MOOLRAJ, and as we have no wish to see the Indian Go vernment involved in another Moultan campaign, we would again urge upon them the necessity of direct ing the removal of MOOLRAJ and his fellow-prisoners to Singapore, or some other territory, which would render a return to India, even in the event of an escape being effected, difficult, if not impossible. The NizAm, it appears, has found means to pay his debt, and consequently to preserve his territory, a matter which, perhaps, the Tartar Emperor of CHINA may not find it so easy to accomplish, for the rebellion in China is making daily progress. Seventeen years have elapsed since the Liberals of Portugal obtained the ascendancy, and during that interval how far have they succeeded in popularizing the cause of DONNA MARIA DA GLORIA ? The me lancholy condition to which her subjects generally have been reduced has long since become a matter of notoriety, insomuch that it would now-a-days be some what difficult to discover any really conscientious panegyrist of her Government. A fairer opportu nity for the re-organization of a country was, per haps, never before frittered away in the squabbles of faction than that which, in 1834, was afforded to the statesmen at Lisbon by the contracting parties in the Quadruple Alliance. At that memorable crisis the five years' reign of' Dom AliGuer. was brought to a ter mination, and the interests of the Portuguese nation were entrusted to his opponents as the champions of the newly nominated Sovereign. Scarcely, however, had the field been cleared before the Liberal party, when their most advantageous position appears to have been wilfully foregone for the luxuries of indiscrimi nate contention. With such rapidity were these feelings of animosity germinated in the ranks of Li beralism that the masters of the situation in 1836 se parated into two strongly marked and bitterly anta gonistic factions, bight respectively the Carlists and the Septembrists—the Carlists with no less a personage than COSTA CABRAL as leader, advo cating principles somewhat similar to those proposed by the Moderados of Spain and the Septembrists, though with a stronger flavour of republicanism, bearing a resemblance in their character to that other great Peninsular party, the party of the Progre sistas. Weakened as the Liberals of Portugal were most undoubtedly by this important division amongst ' themselves, their energies have been yet more remark ably deteriorated since 1836 by a multiplicity of minor differences, until scarcely anything whatever is left of that compact and vigorous body, marshalled a few summers back under the banners of the new Constitution. So entirely shattered, indeed, is that once dominating party that its state almost reaches the final stage of decompo sition. Aware of these things, the still faithful adherents of the dethroned and exiled Prince of the House o f B raganz a are beginning to revive their hopes of a restoration, and even amongst ourselves these dreams of the Miguelites are regarded by some as not altogether chimerical. In a brief but masterly paper relating to the position of affairs at Lisbon, a contributor to the current number of Blackwood's Magazine, and evidently one peculiarly well in formed, the anticipation of the change above referred to is acknowledged, and this, moreover, without any derisive allusion to its indulgence. A circumstance of such startling significance appears to us eminently entitled to consideration, more especially when it is remembered that the chief of all the monthly peri odicals, while enunciating the views already men tioned, seizes the opportunity to allude in extenu ating terms to the banished King of Portugal. Speaking calmly and dispassionately upon this sub ject, at a distance of seventeen years from the down fall of Dom MIGUEL, Blackwood maintains that he, the object of so much invective, was by no means so black as he was painted, adding that " his character suffered in England from the malicious calumnies of Pedroite refugees, and from the exaggerated and easily accepted statements of the Portuguese corre spondents of English newspapers." In all this we are satisfied that there is a vast amount of truth, and without adventuring upon a circum64.l.tial vindica tion of DOM MIGUEL, we o a u t ,rs,emlvoesnsaterre in n er h su u a m d a e n d that he neither is nor was that ' form" which he has been so long represented. To be brief, we have no credence whatever in these frequent discoveries of Royal Lucifers—in these Princes of Darkness painted so repeatedly with the blackening ink of prejudiced historians and partizan pamphleteers. We don't acknowledge any verisimi litude, for instance, in that diabolical silhouette which Mr. MACAULAY has been recently trying to palm off upon us as a correct portrait of his late Majesty King JAMES IL We have a vivid recollection, again, of the slanders promulgated at the beginning of the present century against the Emperor NAroLEort—slanders issued from the press of Eng land by one of the most distinguished publishers in London—slanders believed by most of the respectable classes throughout the United Kingdom—slanders according to which the Imperial family of France was represented as a group of rogues and debauchees, capable of indulging their evil passions alternately, and in obedience to the caprices of the moment, by adultery or by assassination. These atrocious ca lumnies, we repeat, were given to the world by one of the first houses in the London book trade, and for a considerable period consequently NAPOLEON himself was looked upon as a species of bogie, more hideous in aspect even than the little yellow faced man lately painted by the hand of the eminent caricaturist, M. ALPHONSE DE LAMARTINE, a monster, in short, quite as horrible to en counter as a ghoul or a catamaran. Very nearly as detestable, though of course on a smaller scale, has been the popular notion of DoM MIGUEL. Now, in the mere possibility of such apparitions, we say again, we have no disposition to be credulous. Like Black wood, we believe, most unquestionably, that DoM MIGUEL, during his five years' reign, namely, from 1828 to 1834, " acted in many respects neither well nor wisely," but like Blackwood, also, we find a difficulty in crediting the innumerable atrocities attributed to him by his virulent and anonymous calumniators. Those .charges against DoM MIGUEL are indeed disproved by the fact of some of our most illustrious statesmen being amongst the number of his defenders—such states men, we mean, as Sir ROBERT PEEL and the Duke of WELLINGTON. It must not be forgotten, moreover, if we would justly appreciate the probabilities of the future, that seventeen years ago a Quadruple Alli ance was found necessary to bring about his de thronement, and that, notwithstanding the lapse of those seventeen years, the exiled Prince can still number up a host of earnest and even enthusiastic adherents, amongst whom may be enumerated most of the houses of the ancient nobility of Portugal—the Vianntr, the Lapas, and the Abrantes, the Albuquerques, Mellos, Traveiras, Pachecos, Alberga ries, Cunbas, Correa• de-Sas, Bednidos, San Martinhos• Pereiras, and others, literally too many to be enumerated. Can loyalty like this be the tribute offered to a monster ? That, we opine, is scarcely conceivable. Dont MIGUEL has consequently secured to himself in the devotion of his followers a brilliant and visible vindication. He bas preserved his forces moreover in their undivided integrity, while DONNA MARIA DA GLORIA has found her political champions separated little by little into factions so numerous as to be at length individually insignificant. Such ere the relative situations of the opposing parties at the present juncture, a junctur e not the less indicative of insecurity from the circum stance of Marshal SALDI.NHA holding the reins of office in the midst of a countless variety of Ministe rial jealousies, while the Conde DE THOMAS is making his obeisance to Dom MIGUEL in the Crystal Palace, an interview not long since recorded in our columns, and copied subsequently from the English journals into most of the newspapers of Christendom. Bearing these facts in recollection, it becomes a matter of congratulation to the well-wishers of' Portugal that out of her existing difficulties good alone can be ex tracted. Whether DONNA MARIA maintains her ascendancy, or DoM MIGUEL becomes in. k his turn triumphant, in either case they are alike pledged to a Liberal policy, one in connexion with the new, and the other with the ancient Constitution—DONNA MARIA, by the terms of the Quadruple Al liance, and Dom MIGUEL, thrice in the most explicit manner, first by his " Declaration" of the 24th June, 1843 ; secondly, by his autograph letter of instructions of the 15th of the following August ; and lastly, by his royal letter of the 6th April, 1847—a document that would appear to indicate that he has really learnt wisdom from adversity. It matters not to England what may be the decision of Portugal in this most important crisis, all our soli citude in its regard being restricted to the liberty and prosperity of its population. The period when the bucolic symposia generally take place is rapidly approaching. Now that Mem bers of Parliament are relieved from their legislative duties, that the crops are safely cut and garnered, the " ruined agriculturists" assemble together to condole, over mighty sirloins or capacious rounds, on their miserable conditions, and to pour forth gloomy vaticinations while " quaffing bumpers pottle deep" to the health of the succesful competitors for the prizes for fat stock or newly invented machines. If we could yield credence to the tales that are poured forth on every side, we should declare that British farmers were sustaining a series of " alarming sacri fices" quite sufficient to have long since destroyed any person of less tenacious vitality. The records of the Bankruptcy and Insolvent Courts prove that manufacturers or traders cannot long maintain their position if encountering continued losses. The agri culturists have, however, solved the difficult problem. They are enabled to endure incessant losses, and yet to maintain jolly aspects enjoying all reasonable comforts and social indulgences. It would be difficult fora participator in their post-pran dial conviviality to suppose that the jovial spirits around him were reduced to a state of despair, looking forward with too painful anxiety to the moment when the impending ruin will be consummated, and the territorial interest involved in one common de struction. There is, however, one unequivocal benefit derived from these agricultural meetings. The leaders of parties in the respective districts meet their respec tive followers, moderate their too sanguine anticipa tions, and indicate the nature of the questions to be debated during the forthcoming year. When the re suscitation of the corn monopoly was in contempla tion, when it was looked upon, if not practicable, as at least a topic that might be brought forward to annoy the Ministers for the time being, we heard of nothing but the revival of the law and the enact ment of a full measure of protection for British in dustry. Nothing else would do. It was the only medicine that would be accepted for the supposed disease. We find, however, from the meetings that have re cently taken place that there has been a considerable change in the views and opinions of the chief orators and of the assembled guests. For instance, at the meeting of the North Lancashire Agricultural So ciety, the President, Lord DE TABLET, a staunch Protectionist, a member of the Carlton Club, and an influential follower of the Earl of DERBY, tells the assembled farmers that they must abandon all thoughts of protection, casting their lot with the rest of their countrymen, looking to the advantage of the community in general, and turning that prosperity to their own advantage by means of skill and industry. The Noble Lord also spoke in sanguine terms of the general prospects of agricul ture, and exhorted his auditors " not to indulge in any idle hopes or hypotheses as to what might arise in future, but to look the present state of things boldly in the face, and by their own energies and exertions to meet the necessities of the times so far as they could." His Lordship, however, went further. He uttered words of hope and encouragement, showing that " there was great and reasonable ground for consola tion and hope in the present state of the country generally." This is as it should be ; and if it stood alone, the speech 'of Lord DE TABLET, and the cordial and rap turous applause with which it was received by the audience, would be well worthy of notice, as exhi biting in the strongest light the sentiments of a large body of agriculturists at the present moment. But a still more important demonstration has taken place, a voice has spoken in language of more peculiar signi ficance than could fall from any one of the territorial aristocracy, however wide his domains or exalted his rank. Mr. DISRAELI, the recognised leader and hope cf the party, has spoken out plainly and distinctly at the annual dinner of the Royal Bucks Agricultural Association, which ook place yesterday at the George Inn, Aylesbury, an, he was greeted with the hearty and enthusiastic chers of his audience, who cordially concurred in his reommendations. It is unnecessary to follow the Banourable Gentleman through the various details d his able and interesting speech. With great oratoric& skill he made his hearers in good humour with themslves, endeavouring to show that what he denominatel " the pretexts upon which the repeal of the corn-laws were carried were erroneous," that " the farmer wts not a man deficient in energy and enterprise," ant that the change which had been effected did press mist seriously upon the price of provisions." But what was the deduction which the Honourable Gentleman drew from these premises ? What were the exhortations which he addressed to his followers ? Were they to seek the restoratnn of the bread-tax ? Far from it. Having adminAered an agreeable dose of com pliments—we will not call it flattery—to his au ditors, he emphatbally cautions them against in dulging in unreascaable expectations. He tells them that "to uphold a *stem that exists, and to bring back a system that has teen abrogated, are very different things," adding Oat he is himself convinced that "the system generally known as the protective system can neter be brought back, unless it is the interest of all classes—at least of all classes of importance—that this should be the principle which should regulate the national industry, and unless the nation speaks out upon the question in an unmistakable manner." This would be tolerably decisive; but the Honourable Gentleman was determined to leave nothing in doubt; he was resolved that there "could be no mistake and there should be no mistake." He showed plainly and unmistakably, that it was by fiscal reforms, by a more judicious and equitable adjustment of the financial burdens, that the necessary relief alone could be afforded, adding— " I believe that we have a case for the country; if we can ask for relief on the principle which our anta gonists are promulgating; if we can show that we are subject to an unequal taxation; if we can show that we are subject to injurious restrictions; if we can show that we are encountering this unequal taxation and unjust re• striction, under the pressure of distress which no other class of the community experiences, then it is for our opponents to devise terms of arrangement. I think it most unwise in tie landed interest—and when I say the landed interest, I mean the farmer as much as the proprietor, for I make no difference—they are partners in the great agricultural firm—l say that it is a most unwise thing for the agricultural interest to go to any Government and say—" We are suffering; give us a fixed duty; give ns a sliding scale, and cure our suf fering.' * Our business is to su—' We are suffering, and you admit it. The cause of it: is, excess of taxa tion, which our energies cannot endure. We have restrictions on our industry under which no industry can prosper. We eall upon you to give us justice, and to place us upon the same level as our fellow-citizens. " ' Most heartily do we rejoice that the Honourable Gentleman has at length become a convert to our sentiments. It is not by "a fixed duty" or a " sliding scale" that assistance can be afforded. No, it is only Jai a revision of taxation. The " restrictions on in dustry, under which no industry can prosper"—the golden fetters must be struck off—the " excess of taxation" in its most vicious form must be removed. We may differ in details, but we are agreed as to the point that a revision of the entire fiscal system is essential, and when that revision is conceded we shall then consider the nature of the alterations that may be demanded by the country, and which will afford prosperity to all classes in the community, and give real protection to every description of British industry—to the manufacturer and labourer as well as to the agriculturist. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday The Constitutionnel makes the following an nouncement : "It is said that the French Government proposes to make a communication to the Government of the United States on the subject of the affairs of Cuba. The English Cabinet, to whom ours is said to have communicated its resolution, has, it is reported, replied that it was its in tention to make a similar communication to the Cabinet of Washington." M. DE LAMARTINE has published a long letter in the Pays, declaring his dissatisfaction at the appear ance in that journal of M. DR LA GIIHNONIERE'S "Por trait of Louis Napoleon" as being calculated to "throw Napoleoniau dust in the eyes of the people." The Bourse was heavy, and public securities declined in price..

Several of the German journals again state that the Governments of the north have sent a collective note to that of England, complaining of the facilities afforded in that country to political refugees to form plans of insurrection on the continent. We find the following in the Independance of Brussels :—" A valet of the King of HANOVER was in the habit of performing the duty of Cabinet cou rier between Hanover and London, under the Munch hausen Ministry. A few days since this royal messenger was arrested at Cologne. The escape from the State prison of Hanover of M. STECIIAN, who had been implicated in some political proceed ings, led to the discovery that the Cabinet courier had been charged to carry to London, at the same time with the correspondence of the KING and his Mi nisters, letters and money, which the Hanoverian Democrats wished to send to their confederates in London. The valet of the ICING was a radical in dis guise. This affair has caused much excite men t i n t h e Hanoverian journals." Some of the German journals state that in the northern parts of Germany the potat o di sease h a d made its appearance with great intensity. From Cologne to Berlin the tubercle is represented as unfit for food, and as sending forth a most offensive odour. It is feared that the poorer classes will suffer severely this year from the calamity. HOLLAND. OPENING OF THE STATES-GENERAL. SPEECH FROM THE THRONE. The new session of the States-General of Holland was opened at the Hague on Monday by the KING in person, and his MAJESTY delivered the following speech : " Gentlemen,—ln opening the new session of the States-General, it is very agreeable to me to be able to communicate favourable news relative to the situation of our country. The birth of a Prince has increased the happiness of my house. Our relations with all the powers show that good intelligence exists. We have concluded with different States conventions tending to protect the interests of commerce, and to ameliorate and assure international communications. With the same object, negotiations with different States have been opened, and they will, I hope, bring about the same fa vourable result. The army and navy continue to give proofs of laudable zeal, and still afford us motives for satisfaction. The state of tranquillity in which all the colonial possessions now are leaves nothing to be de sired. Disturbances which recently took place in the isle of Borneo have been repressed by the force of our arms. The news of the sanitary situation in the colonies are more re-assuring. The bad consequences of the failure of the harvest in past years are disappearing; and the most recent news on the harvest of this year aro very favourable, especially in what regards provisions. The electoral, provincial, and communal laws fulfil, so l f a a g r i a s l s a can to r b 3 . I n a consequence optirseesqeunetnacsecoefrttahiened, the object of the past winter not having been rigorus, and of there not having been any ex traordinary thaws or tides, our dykes have remained exempt from all injury. The great works for the improvement of our rivers, according to the system communicated to you, have been undertaken and are continued with activity. The harvest of the last year, though only a middling one, has turned out to be more abundant than was at first expected. That of the present summer appears satisfactory in most provinces. Arduous efforts are being generally made to develope agriculture, and to cause it to prosper, both by improving the means of farming and by bring ing new lands into cultivation. Trades and manufactures are also continuing to increase in importance. The con tinual increase is navigation, and in the building of ships, are proofs that the changes effected in our com ruarcial legislation last year have not disappointed the hopes which were entertained. The great activity which exists in several branches of our manufactures proves that commerce is generally in a prosperous situation. The continual increase of communications both by land and by water, exercise not only a salutary influence on the relations of the interior, but also on those with other countries. I endeavour strongly to aid in the develop ment of these communications. A convention concluded with Prussia, and which will be com municated to you„o3 one result of these efforts. We have entered into arrangements with Bel gium for preparing, and I sincerely hope esta blishing, new means of communication between the two countries. The favourable hopes conceived with respect to the situation of the finances of the kingdom have not been disappointed; this situation, on the contrary, is re latively better than that of last year. The present year likewise promises advantageous results. We will do• mend, at the commencement of your session, your co operation in measures relative to the sinking fund. The important Bills, deposited in your last session, and for the examination of which there was not time, will be again submitted to your deliberations. May the same spirit of common accord, which has caused to be achieved thus far so many important labours, prevail in the exa mination of these Bills and of others which will be pre sented to you in the course of this session. I ardently wish that our common labours may promote, under the blessing of God, the happiness of our dear coantry. I declare the new session of the States-General to be opened." - The KING, on going to and returning from the Chamber, was received with great enthusiasm by all classes of the population. LIBERATION OF KOSSUTH. A letter from Malta, dated 12th Sept., says— "By the French steamer which arrived yesterday from Constantinople we have received the welcome in telligence of the liberation of Kossuth and his compa nions from Kutajah on the Ist inst. The Mississippi had arrived safely at Constantinople. Its cabins were fitted up in the most elegant manner, so as to accommo• date Kossuth, his family, and all his party. A Turkish steamer was to leave at once for G►eme lack to take them on board and convey thew to the Dardanelles, where the Mississippi was to be in readiness to receive them. Nothing could exceed the kindness, the attentions of the Turkish Govern ment. The Pacha of Broussa ; in accordance with orders forwarded to him from Constantinople, sent no less than fifty carriages to convey the exiles to th© point of their embarkation. Among those mentioned as likely to ac company Kossuth, we find the well-known names of the two Parcaels, of Vissowaki, a general, and of Asboth. His secretary and physician will also go with him. Count Batthiany's movements are uncertain. His state of health is such that he is anxious to get to Paris, in order to consult some of the French faculty. The Countess Batthiany has been using all her endeavours with the French Ambassador to obtain permission for this change in his destination." By the Growler, which arrived this morning, we have heard that Kossuth and his companions were all safe on board of the Mississippi, and that she had left the Dardanelles with them on the 7th for America. BANK OF EN GLAND-(THIS DAY ) A general court of the Governor and company of the Bank of England, was held this day, at twelve o'clock, for the purpose of considering a dividend. This was also a quarterly general court, under the terms of the Act of Incorporation. Thomson Hankey, jun., Esq., Governor of the Bank, presided. The CrrainetAte have to acquaint the court that this is one of the quarterly general courts appointed by the charter, aed also one of the halt-yearly general courts appointed by the charter for considering of a dividend. I have also to acquaint the court that the net profits of the half-year ending the 30th of August last were 554,1881., bein3 13,3911. less than those of the preceding halt-year. The "rest" out of which tl - te dividend is to be made amounts to 3,566,9641. This will enable the court to declare a dividend of 31 per cent, which will leave the "rest" at the amount of 3,057,613/. The court of directors, therefore, propose that a dividend of 31. 10s. per cent. be made, if the court think fit, out of the interest and profits for the half-year, ending the 31st of August last, without any deduction on account of income-tax, which has already been paid by the Bank. I will, therefore, now pat the question—that the court do order a dividend to be made of 31. 10s. per cent., the interest and profits for the half-year ending the 31st of August, without any deduction on account of income-tax. Mr. COPELAND said that he was ready to support the recommendation of the directors. He was considerably disappointed that he did not receive an account of better state of things, considering that the lest twelve months had been a period of prosperity to the country, unaffected by any kind of excitement, during which joint-stock banks generally had been highly prosperous and given enlarged dividends, and, in some cases, bonuses to the proprietors. However, he was per fectly aware that the general interests of the Bank were prosperous, and he thought the proprietors could only look for an increased dividend to the good and judicious management of their large capital. Many persons con sidered that they ought to look for enlarged dividends in times of commercial distress, but they ought to be aware that the directors of the Bank of England had to look not only to the interests of the proprietors, but to those of the public, and that it was impossible for them to screw sums of money out of the people when they were suffering from commercial embarrassments. Consi dering that they had no accounts or other data to judge by, it having always been the custom of the proprietary to accede to the non-production of any official data; and considering that their whole affairs were entirely re posed in the breasts of the directors, they in reality had no other course to adopt than to rely on the honour, good faith, and ability of the directors. It seemed to him that a great deal of the well-being of the establishment depended on the manner of electing the directors. Some thought that greater prosperity would arise to the Bank if a more popular mode of electing the directors were de vised, and be must confess he inclined to that opinion, but as the establishment had hitherto been conducted on the principle of the directors nominating themselves, the proprietors scarcely having a voice in the matter, he considered that they could not do better under all the circumstances than accede cheerfully to the recommen dation of the directors for the payment of a dividend of 31 per cent, for the half-year. Mr. LEVY said it was perfectly understood, three or four years ago, that all beyond three million's of rest should be given as dividend. Now, according to the report, there were three millions of rest, which ho should be very sorry to see touched, besides plenty to pay three and three-quarters, and something would even be left then. In order to main tain that arrangement which wus so satisfactory to the proprietors, the directors ought to increase the amount of dividend. Ho should be sorry, just for an additional quarter per cent., to take any money which the Bank might want, but he did not see any reason why, under existing circumstances, so much beyond the three mil lions should be withheld from the proprietors. Mr. MARRIOTT hoped they would never have quarter per cents.—(Hear.) They had not come to such a state of destitution as to render that course necessary.— (Hear.) He should support the proposition of the directors. Mr. HATHAWAY considered that the proprietors could derive a dividend of 4 per cent, on the present occasion without any risk whatever to the Bank. On the 30th of August the rest amounted to 3,566,9651,, and if a divi dend of 4 per cent, were agreed to, the diminution of the rest would not be more than 15,1551. If this additional sum were withheld, the directors would be guilty of something like injustice to that class of proprietors who only had a life interest in the Bank. No rule would be broken through in agreeing to his suggestion. In opposing so trifling a difference in the dividend he was disposed to thick the directors were carrying their views of safety too far. He concluded by moving an amendment, to the effect that the dividend should bo 4 instead of 31 per cent. Mr. CLARKE said it was clearly understood that the rest should remain at a fixed sum, the subject having been discussed from time to time, and the directors having responded to the opinion of the pro prietors, and they would be doing wrong if they invaded that principle in the slightest de gree. If they took an eighth, or even a sixteenth, they might as well take every farthing above the three millions; when the principle was once interfered with the amount was immaterial, He trusted that the dividend of 3i per cent. would be acceded to. Mr. HOLLYMAN seconded the amendment. The GOVERNOR said the directors were anxious to preserve the property of the proprietors in its integrity, The dividend had received their fullest consideration, and they believed they were acting, in making the present recommendation, in accordanc ewith the almost universal feeling of the proprietors, expressed at for mer courts, that the rest should not be reduced below three millions. They did not consider it necessary to ask the opinion of the court on a, subject which had so universally received the assent of the proprietors, viz., that there should not be a quarter per cent. on any one occasion. If that were to be adhered to, it was impossible for the directors to propose other than what they had done. After some further discussion, The amendment was put, and, two hands only being held up in its favour, was declared tobe lost. The original motion was carried, and the court separated. The GOVERNOR intimated that the dividend warrants would be delivered and paid on Saturday next. BATTY'S NATIONAL HIPPODROME, KENSINGTON.-- Yesterday evening, in consequence of permission having been given by Colonel Williams, the commanding officer of the Second Life Guards, situated at the Barracks, Hyde-prk, the splendid band of the regiment attended at Batty's Hip podrome, to assist in the performances. The greater portion of the men with their non-commissioned officers were present in their undress, and occupied seats in the second class de partment. Colonel and Mrs. Williams, with some of the offi cers, were also present in the private box. The regimental band played several pieces in the course of the evening. Th e routine of performances, which were under the direction of M. Soulier, Equerry to the Sultan of Turkey, consisted of chariot races, a steeplechase by monkeys, a Barbary race, as per formed at the Corso of Rome, by twelve horses, &c., &c. There were about 10,000 persons present. PRIVATH BILLS IN PARLIAMENT.—Yesterday Parliamentary return was printed, from which it appears that in the late session 217 private Bills were introduced ; the number brought from the Lords was 28. Of the Bills 179 received the royal assent. There were 128 treated as opposed, or classified in groups by the Com m i ttee of Selec tion. The number of private Bills referred to the Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means by the Committee of Selection was 82. Of the Bills which received the royal assent 61 related to railways, 26 to roads and bridges, 7 to waterworks, 5 to ports, piers, harbours, and clocks ; 3to canals and navigation, 3 to churches, chapels, and burying grounds; 22 to paving, lighting, and markets; 2 to in closure and drainage, 1 to letters patent, and 27 were Lards' Bills. Mr. R. A. Stephens, chief superintendent of police, was yesterday elected governor of the Birmingham borough gaol, in the room of Captain Maconochie, so well known in connexion with the system of convict discipline formerly pursued in Norfolk Island. Lieutenant-General Sir John Burgoyne is making a most minute inspection of the state of fortiticatiouti in the Channel Islands and the western coast of England. ~..~ LON DON, BRITISIt RAILWAYS.
