The Commander-in-Chief has approved the ap pointment of Lieut. F. A. Gore, 84th Regiment, as Aide-de-Camp to his Excellency Lord Napier, K.T., Governor of Madras. Yesterday a general court-martial assembled at Chatham garrison, by order of the Duke of Cam bridge, Field-Marshal Commanding-in-Chief, for the 'trial of Captain James Hett Tennant, 45th (Sherwood Foresters) Regiment. The court was presided over ty Colonel J. L. A. Simmons, C. 8., Director of the Royal Engineer establishment ; and Colonel the Hon. J. J. Bourke, commanding the LBaayttea,liDone,puwtyas_ jtuhdegeo_ffiAcdiavlocaptreosfeorcuttohre. 3dCol.Depot J. H. district, conducted the trial. The prisoner was ar raigned for having, when in comm and of a detach. ment of troops of the line of the 3d Depot Battalion, stationed at the Isle of Grain, absented from his corps without leave from the 6th until the 21st of December, on which day h e re j oined October himself his regiment at Chatham Garrison. The prisoner pleaded " Not guilty." The witnesses examined on the part of the prosecution were Capt. H. F. S. Lloyd, Royal Engineers, in command of the troops quartered at the Isle of Grain; Capt. and Adjt. J. N. Colthurst, 3d Depot Battalion ; and Ensign T. G. Booth, 2d battalion of the 10th Regiment ; from whose evidence it appeared that the prisoner was granted leave of absence by his commanding officer from the afternoon of the 4th of October until the evening of the 6th of the same month. He, how ever, never returned to the Isle of Grain, which station the troops left on the 16th of November, the prisoner rejoining at Chatham on the 21st of De- 1 cember, when he was immediately placed under arrest. The prisoner, who bad declined cross examining any of the witnesses, said, in his defence, that he was exceeding sorry for his conduct, and he trusted that the court in passing sentence would take into consideration his former character as an officer and a gentleman during the ten years he had been in the 45th Regiment. He then handed iu a number of testimonials from the following officers, all of whom gave the prisoner a very high character —viz., Major-Gen. 11. Cooper, late commanding the 45th Regiment ; Col. E. R. Jeffreys, C. 8., commanding the sth Depot Battalion ; Colonel H. Shaw ; Col. W. R. Preston, late commanding 45th Regiment ; Col. G. A. L. Blenkinsopp, late of the 45th Regiment ; Major R. B. Johnstone, late of the 45th Regiment ; and Capt. R. Blair, late of the 45th Regiment. The finding and sentence of the court will not be made known until it has received her Majesty's approval. The unarmoured frigate Bristol, 31 guns, 600 horse power, screw engines, Capt. Leveson E. H. Somerset, which arrived at Spithead on Monday from the West Coast of Africa, sailed again from Spithead at 4 p.m. yesterday for Sheerness, where she is ordered to be dismantled and paid out of commission. The Bristol experienced very rough weather off the Azores on her passage home, and rolled so deeply at times as to ship large quantities of water over the lee netting. The Crocodile, screw Indian relief troopship, Captain Watson, was placed in the Warrior dock at Portsmouth yesterday, to cleanse her hull below the water line. NAVAL APPOINTMENTS.

MACHONOCHIE.-RITUALISM IN HOLBORN. The argument in this suit was resumed this morning. Mr. Stephen, Q.C., and Dr. Swabey appeared for the promoter; and Mr. Prideaux, Q.C., and Dr. Tristram for the defendant. Mr. Prideaux said that he would, with regard to the exposition of the reserved sacrament, refer his lordship to a voluminous judgment of Lord Wens leydale as to the position of the sacrament on the altar ; he also referred to a French work, - which treated fully of the holy eucharist, published in 1673, in which the exposition was fully laid, and which with strong indignation stigmatised the neglect of the ceremonials attending upon the ad ministration of the sacrament. His atteLtion had been called to the sth chapter of the 22d session of the Council of Trent, and he contended that that article referred to the rites and ceremonials of the Church. The Dean of Arches—What do you say to the word ceremonix? Then wider the word cere monix must be meant the act itself ? Mr. Prideaux said he thought that the word was used differently in the Prayer-book, and that ser vices themselves were not meant there by it, but the ceremonials attending them. Ile would now come to the question of ele vating the elements, and, as he wished the defendant to have the advantage of the argument of Dr. Tristram, he should be as brief as possible. He contended that the article in the decree ac cusing Mr. Machonochie of this elevation went too far, and that as ho did not attach any peculiar feeling to the elevating of the cup and the bread it was a question for the bishop. Mr. James said that it formed part of the decree by mutual consent. Mr. Prideaux said he would then contend that the cup or bread could not be lifted without an elevation of the hands, and that it was in that man ner that it had been lifted by Mr. Illachonochie, and as part of the divine action, and without any intention to carry it out as a ceremonial of elevation, but he would also contend that the elevation was not unlawful. It was for bidden in the Prayer-book, but the prohibition was afterwards withdrawn. It was not expressly men tioned in the second Prayer-book ; but this was in compliance with the Puritan spirit of the age, and its withdrawal was to check a spirit of irreverence which had sprung up. The case had not concluded when we went to press. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A SPECIAL CONSTABLE COMMITTED FOR ASSAULT ING A POLICE SERGEANT. — WaIter Brown, alias Paul de Paris, described as an importer of foreign goods, Cecil-court, St. Martin's-lane, was charged before Mr. Knox with assaulting Police-sergeant Leech, 17 C. Leech said that about half-past 12 the previous night he was called to Cecil-court, where he found the prisoner, who had on only his shirt and trou sers, making use of disgusting language, and caus ing a great disturbance, and he was told that the prisoner had been fighting. He persuaded the pri soner to go home, and as soon as he got inside a kind of shop he kept in the court, he gave him (Sergeant Leech) a violent kick in the lower part of the stomach. He then took the prisoner into custody. In answer to Mr. Knox, the sergeant said that although he did not now feel any ill effects from the kick, still ho had been in pain all night. The pri soner was not sober. The prisoner said he WAS very sorry for what he had done. He had been drinking, and had no re collection of kicking the sergeant. Mr. Knox, after remarking that the prisoner might have killed the sergeant, asked whether the prisoner had been at the Court before. Leech said that be had for disorderly conduct, and he was known by the name of Paul. Sergeant Brady (acting inspector) said that re cently two boys were charged at the court with begging in urinals, when it transpired that they were employed by the prisoner to pull down the bills of a rival in his trade. Mr. Knox said the fact of the prisoner getting drunk was no excuse for his kicking the sergeant in such a way. The prisoner had inflicted an in jury on the sergeant which might have cripple d him for life. The police mu s t be protected, and he should therefore commit the prisoner for a month with hard labour. It was stated in court that the prisoner is a special constable. REFRACTORY PAUPERS.—WiIIiam Kew, alias M'Kew, and John Jipson, alias Jiffson, paupers chargeable to the City of London Union, were brought before Mr. Paget charged, the former with assaulting Mr. John Saunders, the master of the City of London Workhouse in the Bow-road, and the other with refusing to perform the task of work assigned to him. The prisoners were described by the master as able• bodied paupers, which they certainly appeared to be. 'They had been paupers since their birth, and had been educated in the Union school. The guardians had obtained situations for Kew, the oldest prisoner, bought outfits for him, and other wise provided for him liberally five or six times, but he had no sense of manhood about him; he preferred the dependent life of a pauper instead of the in dependent station of an industrous labourer, earning his own living. He had been frequently insolent to the master and refractory. He had been ordered to the stone-yard to work there, and he came to the master this morning and asked to be relieved, and to be put on the sick list. Saunders said he could do nothing of the kind without the order of the surgeon, and directed him to return to his work. He immediately struck Mr. Saunders a severe blow on the eye, with his clenched fist, and knocked him backwards. The prisoner made a long address to the ma gistrate, and said he had been convicted of felony and sentenced to six months' imprisonment and hard labour, and was treated like a felon in the workhouse. He had been to that court two days in succession in " former pauper house" for sum monses, and because he had not 2s. in his pos session the summonses were not granted. He was and justice was denied was a suitor in treated " f former r me r most p i e n r f a h m o u o s u e s • He him. Mr. Paget sentenced the prisoner to two months' imprisonment and hard labour. of truth in the sentenced to six prisoner's l‘lr. Sau s n t d a e t e i i a n — e u T t h i e s t o h n a l t y he p ewcaes months' imprisonment for felony. He has been treated most indulgently. The case against Jipson was then gone into. He got over the wall and absconded from the Union House very o disorderly, Tuesday nand morning. He re t urne d at night, was sent to th e re f rac t or y was ward. Yesterday morning Mr. Charles WTunch, the superintendent of labour, ordered the prisoner to pick 41bs. of oakum, and was put into the yard to execute his task. The prisoner refused to do any. The oakum was not picked in the evening. Mr. Paget thought 41bs. of oakum was a large quantity. Mr. Saunders said he could have imprisoned the prisoner for 24 hours, but he proposed to punish m one day 41b. of oakum, which eg Mr. Paget asked how muc h oakum prisoners in c h ou ini ld htoavepidckonien. the House of Correction picked each day under sentence of hard labour. No one could give him the information. Mr. Saunders—The prisoner did not pick any of the oakum. 11Ir. Paget sentenced the prisoner to 21 days' im prisonment and hard labour. The Governor of the Wigan Workhouse, where a child was recently scalded to death by an idiot nurse, has been called upon to resign the aloe which he holds. COOKED FOOD FOR THE PEOPLE. At a meeting pf the members of the Society of Arts, Mr. William Riddle, civil engineer, read " The details of a project for the preparation and distribution of hot food, by delivery service, at the homes of the people in cities and towns." Mr. Riddle, in bringing forivard the details on the present occasion, proposed to raise a capital of £7,000, to hire a plot of ground, and place on it a building of iron and glass, 160 feet long by 40 feet deep, in sixteen squares of 20 by 20 feet each, and about 18 feet high, with louvre ventilators. The build ing should be of interchangeable parts, a plain, cheap rectangular, probably ridge and furrow-roofed structure, like a section of the Crystal Palace of 1851. This building would cost, he had been told, fr,en £1,500 to £1,800; and the district he proposed to work in the first instance was Islington and its neighbourhood. The reader went on to say that one great object he had in view was to show that in such families there was an enormous amount of waste which might be avoided, and his desire was to remedy this evil by cooking plain food on a large scale by a fuel saving apparatus. With such apparatus they would be enabled to roast, boil, or bake meat, vegetables, and puddings of a plain description, to have the meat carved from the joints by skilful carvers, to have it weighed by assistants, and then placed, with gravy, in tin cases or in covered cylindrical jars. These jars[ - ere at once to be placed hot in japanned iron cases, or cupboards, mounted on a tramway in a room. These cases to be four or five feet square, and about two feet six inches high and each to form the separate interior of a cart, about the size of a parcels delivery cart. The N ehicle being thus loaded, and closed behind by a panel, in whioh there would be as many doors as compartments of jars, would then be driven off to deliver the goods. The remains of provisions might be sold to the soup kitchens of the poor ; and it was believed that if this undertaking were carried out in a respectable manner, and on a sufficient scale, great public economy of fuel and food would be the result. But if time were money, there would be a saving in thousands of households for the better education, nursing, or general care of children. The reader went on to urge, in favour of his project, that the Glasgow system had proved a paying system, and that if Mr. Corbett, the promoter of that undertaking, could give, as he said, a good dinner for 4d., it was only reasonable to believe that he (Mr. Riddle) could supply a similar benefit, superior in character, for Bd.—the meal consisting of meat, potatoes, greens, pudding, all of the best quality, and thoroughly hot. He saw no reason why eventually soup should not be provided for the poor and delivered in the poorest districts in common earthen jars carried in carts ; and the system of what he denominated (perhaps erroneously) a " civil corn missa,riat " might extend upwards, so that at one half the prices charged by the great purveyors known in London, elaborate dishes of French or other cookery might find a large sale—the demand arising from the re duction of price and the public becoming used to the system. The paper was listened to with much attention, and in the course of the brief discussion which ensued an opinion appeared to prevail that, while there could be no doubt about the feasibility and expediency of providing food for the people, a difficulty suggested itself in regard to the means of conveying cooked food to their homes under such circumstances as would ensure the timely attendance of some one to receive it. This difficulty might not apply ':to cases where a large number of persons engaged in a manufactory were in the habit of dining together .at a regular period, but under an ordinary condition of things the system might prove to be less practicable than was now supposed. The cordial thanks of the meeting were, however, due to Mr. Riddle for the interesting and instructive paper he had read, and a vote to this effect having been unanimously agreed to, the meeting sepa rated. The Italian Government, it is rumoured, has agreed, in spite of its former decision to the contrary, to go on paying its share of the interest of the Pontifical debt. It is further reported that the emission of an Italian loan in Paris has been consented to by the French Government. Munich, Stuttgart, and Carlsruhe have received invita , tions from Berlin to send delegates to deliberate on the l foundation of the new postal treaty with SwitzerlPnd. The Norwegian Government, having opened negotiw—una for a new postal treaty, has sent Herr Eye as a delegate to Berlin. The authorities of Liverpool have received the formal thanks of her Majesty for " the enthusiastic and magnifi cent reception " they gave to Prince Arthur and Prince and Princess Christian. Her Majesty sees in the welcome " the most satisfactory and gratifying proof of the loyal attachment of the people of Liverpool to herself and her family." The disturbances which took place in Portugal on the publication of the proposal for a new law to regulate the duties on meat, rice, oil, and fermented drinks throughout the kingdom, by depriving the municipal councils and all the local authorities of the power of imposing taxes on these provisions, and vesting it in the Government, wero of a very serious character. The deputation, headed by the chief member of the Opposition in the Upper House, appointed to wait upon the King, was refused admission to the palace. Murmurs gave place to active resistance, Ultimately the guard charged, and many were severely wounded. The Chamber of Commerce at Oporto called a large meeting, at which resolutions were passed pledging those present to the closing of their shops and the evasion of the law by every possible means, even to the suspension of all commercial operations ; and similar resolutions were adopted at Minho. The Chamber met and the Ministers resigned, but though petitions were sent in from all parts of the country, the bill was carried. It is supposed, how ever, that it will be considerably modified under the new Ministry formed by the Count D'Avila. The Brussels correspondent of the Morning Post fur nishes an account of the first meeting of the Belgian Chamber of Representatives, when official explanations of the recent transformation of the Ministry were given. For the action taken three reasons had been assigned. First, the answer to be given to the French invitation for Belgium to attend the Conference ; secondly, the unwil lingness of M. Frere, when Minister of Finance, to furnish funds to the Minister of War for completing the fortifications of Antwerp ; and, thirdly, a disagreement regarding the new schools for adults, somewhat resembling the night schools in England. The first may be dis missed at once, for the Prime Minister distinctly declared that the late Cabinet had unanimously agreed that Belgium ought, under certain contingencies, to be represented at the Conference. As to the second, the retirement of the Minister of War was caused simply by the rest of the Cabinet agreeing to certain modifications proposed by the central section of the House in the Go vernment project for reorganising the army, to which he could not accede. The third point was the one which actually broke up the Cabinet. M. Vandenpeereboom the late Minister of the Interior, had wished the adult schools to be placed under the working of the law of 1842, by which the co-operation of the clergy is obtained under certain conditions. He made proposals to this effect to the late Archbishop of Malines, which were partially ac cepted by him and the Bishop of Tournay, but to which no reply was returned by the other Belgian bishops. How ever, on the archbishop urging further conditions which were found inadmissible, the negotiations between Church and State dropped, and the rest of the Cabinet resolved to organise the new adult schools out of the pale of the law of 1842. To this MM. Vandenpeereboom and Rogier de murred, and the crisis came. THE RIVERS POLLUTION COMMISSION.—DISPUTE AMONGST THE COMMISSIONERS.-At the adjourned inquiry held in Liverpool, Mr. Rawlinson, the chairman of the commissioners, protested with great warmth against the line of examination upon sanitary questions which had been pursued on the previous day by Mr. Harrison, one of the commissioners. He accused Mr. Harrison of ignorance, of " badgering " the witnesses, and said that he would not enter another town with him, but would at the close of the Liverpool inquiry resign his commission into the hands of the Government. Mr. Harrison retorted that he had done no more than his duty, and that the questions which he had asked were within the scope of the inquiry. At a later period Mr. Harrison was questioning a witness upon some sanitary points, when he was abruptly stopped by Mr. Rawlinson, and during the remainder of the sitting Mr. Harrison was silent. At the close of.the inquiry Mr. Rawlinson said that it had been arranged to hold an inquiry at Birkenhead next day, but he should certainly not proceed with any more business of the commission until he had seen the Secretary of State for the Home Department. LECTURES TO WORKING MEN. —Mr. T. Hughes, M.P., in inaugurating a series of lectures on history, poli tics, and religion, to be delivered by the Rev. IL Solly, at the Cambridge Hall, Newman-street, Oxford-street, for the benefit especially of working men, said he considered that working men required such lectures more than any other class. The lecture for that night, " The Poli tical and Social History of the Roman Republic," was well chosen, as probably the history of no other country, unless it was Greece, could better illustrate our own than that of ancient Rome. The Romans were distinguished especially for that sort of tenacity which con stituted a strong feature in the British character. With regard to religious history, the estrangement from its consideration by working men had been a matter of deep concern to him and others who had the welfare of their country at heart. Religious questions could not be slighted without very serious injury to the foundations of both religion and politics, upon the soundness of which depends, sooner or later, the prosperity of nations. The attendance gave gratifying promise that Mr. Solly's °liked w ill b e fully secured. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. READING STEEPLECHASES. WEDNESDAY. The racing to-day was a decided improvement upon that of yesterday, and there were more people present to witness it. A large quantity of rain had fallen during the night, and just before the commencement of the racing there was a perfect downpour of rain and hail, which filled yester day's "grips," rendering the course bad going. Fortu nately within the ring plenty of straw had been laid down or the visitors would have been obliged to stand ankle-deep in mud. For the first race, a Selling Steeplechase, there were four runners, but the finish was left to a couple, the favourite winning easily. An objection was lodged against her for having gone the wrong side of the post, but in the face of the contradictory evidence the stewards could not do otherwise than decline to interfere with the j edge's de cision. The Guile, who was a good favourite, won the Innkeepers' Plate; Spatehcock, Lis stable companion, alone of other three runners passing the post. Tim race of the meeting was the Berkshire Op.•n Steeplechase, which produced tight runners from the 10 who accepted. The absentees were Gains and Captain Crosstree. About the non-starting of the latter great dissatisfaction was expressed, as :he horse had arrived, and had been backed at the lists. Lawrence, as soon as the numbers were hoisted, became a warm favourite at 7to 4. Marengo and Farnborough were the most fancied of the others, and backed at 4to 1 each. The race was prolific of disas ters, only four of the eight runners passing the post. The Cripple fell the first time round, and Farnborough, when going very well, came down at the same jump on reach ing .it for the second time. Both were severely injure', and were afterwards shot on the course. Lawrence fenced brilliantly, and bad the race his own way nearly all the distance, ultimately winning by 150 yards. The last event on the card produced the most exciting finish of the day, and an outsider bowled over a groat favou rite by a short head. Details of the day's sport are ap pended:— A Selling Steeplechase of 3 sovs each, with 20 added ; four year olds 11st 41b, five 12st 51b, six and aged 12st 101 b ; the winner to be sold by auction for 50 sovs, and any surplus to be divided between the owner of the second horse and the fund; if entered to be sold for 30 soya allowed 71b ; horses which have run at this meeting without being placed first or second allowed 51b ; about two miles.

'Warwick Lass made the whole of the running, and won very easily by three lengths. Balloon ran out before reaching the farm house, and lost so much ground that Mr. Hobson pulled him up at the stand. Over-the-Sea refused the fence at the top of the hill after about a mile of the journey had been covered. On returning to scale, J. Land, the rider of Redwing, objected to the winner on the ground of having gone on the wrong side of a post. The stewards imme diately entertained the case, and visited the spot in the meadows where the digression was alleged to have oc curred. The evidence not being conclusive, they con firmed the judge's decision. The winner was sold to Capt. Reeve for 55gs. The Innkeepers' Plate (handicap) of 40 sovs ; winners after Dec. 31, at 10 a.m., 71b extra. About two miles and a half. Mr. H.

Spatchcock, to serve his stable compa nion the favourite, made the running, The Guide follow ing, attended by Puebla and Le Willows, Portfire bringing up the rear. After clearing the gorsed hurdles Le Wil lows ran up to The Guide, but on landing the farm-house fence he ran out and was pot further persevered with. Puebla cleared the brook just in the rear of Spatchcock, whom he headed at the stand and showed the way to the top of the hill. Here he dropped back. and Spatch cock was again loft in front, Portfire following in the rear of The Guide and Puebla. The last-mentioned blun dered and fell at the fence leading into the stubble field, and was not further persevered with. In the field Portfire stuck in a " grip," threw his rider, and bolted across the country. The race was now left to Mr. Ellison's pair, and The Guide taking up the running at the gorsed hurdles, and cantering leisurely home, won by a field. The Berkshire Open Steeplechase of 10 sovs each, with 70 added; winners after December 31 at ten a.m., extra. About three miles and a half. Sir W.

After a couple of breaks away the lot wore despatched, Marengo cutting out the work, followed by the favourite over the farm-house fence. The water-jump was taken by the pair mentioned almost abreast of each other, Snow otorm, Waterperry, and The Cripple following them. Be fore reaching the stand Arlescott took the place of Ma rengo, the leading division taking close order, Lawrence, however, having a slight lead of the lot named ; Farn borough, Imogen, and Marengo coming next, separated at intervals of about a couple of lengths. This order was maintained till going up the hill-side, when The Cripple was indulged with the lead ; Snowstorm, who beaded Lawrence, going on next, and Imogen fourth. In the middle of the field preceding the stubble, Snow storm ran out of the track, and took with him Arlescott and Imogen, but the trio were soon righted and went on in pursuit of the leaders and in advance of Farnborough. The Cripple held a clear lead as they went through the stubble, but at the fence leading out of it she came down heavily. The accident left Lawrence with a clear lead of his horses, Waterperry running second, fully 50 yards in advance of Farnborough, Arlescott, Imogen, and Ma rengo being in the rear of the last named; but Snow storm was so far in the rear that his rider, deeming perseverance useless, pulled up. Passing the stand the second time Lawrence had a clear lead of Waterperry, several lengths off following Farnborough, Imogen, Arlescott, and Marengo. The latter was pumped out, and Mr. Hobson, finding that he had no chance, pulled up and walked the horse back to the paddock. Water perry and lmogen followed the favourite up the hill, Farn borough being a long way in the rear, and so much ex - hausted that on reaching the fence out of the stubble—the same at which The Cripple previously fell—he came down and broke his back. Waterperry was in difficulties be fore he reached the gorsed hurdles, and Imogen took second place, Arlescott being now a long way in the rear. Lawrence retained his advantage to the end, winning in a canter by a hundred and fifty yards. Imogen fell at the brook, and rolled completely over her jockey, who, how ever, remounted and finished second. Waterperry cantered in a bad third, and Arlescott alone of the others passed the post. Both The Cripple and Farnborough were found to be go severely injured that they had to be destroyed on the course. A. Handicap Selling Steeplechase of 3 sovs each, with 23 added; the winner to be sold for 40 sovs; about two miles and a half. Mr. A.

The non-favourite I refused the first fence and several subsequent ones, so that Belle of Kars was left to canter in alone. The winner was bought in for 64gs. A.

The latter made play, followed by the favourite and Patience, Sinite and Feigie bringing up the rear. In this order they passed the stand, but at the succeeding fence Patience ran out, and lost so much ground that Mr. Hobson soon afterwards pulled her up. Arlescott retained the lead until fairly in the stubble field, when he was beaten and stopped. Sir William was now left with the lead, and Feigie headed Sinite at the gorsod hurdles, Miss Emma going on fourth. Sinite blundered at the farm-house fence, and l'eigie went on in pursuit of Sir William, whom ho gra d ua lly overhauled on the descent to the brook, so that e v a tp s hoes n ts o tb t rya t i agwhot, shortlengthsau and el,a in edi .gem a gi d os ad vance; a vu_ t tpt n: e ohwe winning n b hi s e ntag tired n e in fi t n 1 the favouritertahcerace mud in n % t h Emma was a bad third.

LONDON JOINT STOCK BANK. MEETING THIS DAY. The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the pro prietors of this bank was held to-day, in the board. room of the bank, Princes-street, Mansion House, under the presidency of Mr. J. Knowles. The report, which was read by Mr. Burrows, the secretary, states :—" The directors have much pleasure in placing before the shareholders the annexed statement of the liabilities and assets of the bank and of the profit and loss account for the half-year ending the 31st ultimo, by which it will be seen that the bank has made a net profit of £63,102 4s. ld., including £2,175 18s. 4d. brought forward from the 30th June ; this sum, together with £4,397 15s. 11d. taken from the guarantee fund, the directors have appropriated in payment of the usual dividend at the rate of 121 per cent. per annum. In pursuance of the resolution of the general meeting of the 25th July last the issue of the remaining 8,000 new shares has been made, and the directors have the satisfaction to acquaint the proprietors that the subscribed capital of the bank is now four millions, divided into 80,000 shares of £5O each, paid up to the extent of £l5 per share, thus making the paid up capital of the bank £1,200,000 entitled to participate in the profits from the Ist of January. The guarantee fund, in accordance with the resolution of the meeting held on the 12th July last, has been credited with £BO,OOO, the amount of premium upon the above 8,000 shares, and now amounts to £418,509 Os. 5d." The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, hoped that the accounts would be deemed satisfactory when the depressed state of the commercial world during the last six months was taken into account. The directors had completed the issue of 8,000 shares. The £200,000 of additional capital would participate in profits from the Ist inst. The bank had made no bad debts during the past half-year. Mr. G. T. BROOKING seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously, and A dividend at the rate of 12} per cent. per annum having been declared, free of income tax, The retiring directors were unanimously re elected, and the proceedings terminated in the cus tomary manner. THE ALLIANCE BANK (LIMITED.) MEETING THIS DAY. The general meeting of the shareholders of this bank was held to-day, at the City Terminus Hotel, Mr. Chaytor in the chair. The report of the directors has already appeared. The Chairman, in moving its adoption, said that up to the 20th of December the directors were pleasing themselves with the idea that the report would show a slow but certain and sure progress in the advancement of the affairs of the bank, but on that day it was announced that bad debts had been incurred in Liverpool which de stroyed all their hopes. But in justice to their colleagues at Liverpool, he was bound to say that up to or at the present time the business of that branch had been managed with the greatest care. (Hear, hear.) It is doubly unfortunate that this loss should have been incurred at the present time, when money is so low ; at any other period the loss would have been comparatively unimportant. The profits on the Liverpool branch were £7,400 during the last half-year, and the bad debts £6,900. METROPOLITAN BANK (LIMITED). MEETING THIS DAY. The first ordinary general meeting of the proprie tors of this bank was held to-day at the London Tavern—Alderman Sir R. W. Carden in the chair. The following report was presented and adopted: " After making provision for bad and doubtful debts, for interest paid to consumers, as well as rebate and current expenses, the profit and loss ac count exhibits a balance of £12,392 Gs. Gd. (out of which an interim dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum was paid to the 30th June last), a result which, considering the low rate of interest during the last year, will, it is hoped, be deemed satisfactory. The directors recommend that a di vidend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum (free of income tax) be declared, leaving £2,392 Gs. 6d. to be carried to the credit of profit and loss new ac count."
