M'KENNA, M.P., in the Chair. . The Directors of the National Bank have the pleasure of presenting to the Proprietors the Thirty-third Annual Report of the state of the Society, made up to the close of 1867. In July last the Directors submitted to the Proprietors their report for the half year ending the 30th June ; their present statement incorporates the profit and loss account for the two half years of 1867, agreeably with precedent heretofore observed. . c, B The dividends and extra dividends payable for the year ' 67 have been declared at the same rates as those paid Or 1866. • The following accounts in „the usual form exhibit the state of the Company's affairs at the close of 10G7 .

The dividend and extra dividend now payable for the half-year ending 31st December, 1867, amount together to £lOO,OOO. The Directors desire to state that the decrease in the profits of the half-year is solely due to the low rates which have prevailed for money, particularly on discounts and advances on securities in the City of London. The deposits and creditor balances of customers have increased in the year by £115,463, and the circulation is also slightly in excess of the amount at the close of 1866, showing that, notwithstanding the general stagnation of business, there is actual progress to record in some of the most important departments of the business of the Bank. As " the Rest," which is available to a reasonable ex tent to equalize dividends, has been considerably aug mented on the average of the last four years, the Direc tors, in view of the exceptionally low rates of interest which have prevailed for the past half-year, do not con sider it advisable to vary the ordinary dividend and extra dividend. The Directors who retire by rotation this year are James Bogle Smith, Esq., Frazer Bradshaw Renshaw, Esq., and Sir Joseph Neale AMenus, M.P., who, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election. Admiral Sir Burton MacNamara, who has been appointed to a seat vaca,ted since last meeting, also retires by rotation, and being eligible offers himself for re-election. Since the last Annual GeUeral Meeting three vacancies have occurred by the retirement of their respected col leagues, James Allan, Esq., John O'Meara, Esq., and Thomas William Rough, Esq., to whose vacant seats the Directors have nominated respectively - Peter McEvoy Gartlan, Esq., the Honourable Albert Henry Petre, and Admiral Sir Burton MacNamara. The appointments of the two former gentlemen, Mr. Gartland and the Honourable Albert H. Petre, who do not retire by rotation, require confirmation by the shareholders. _ Since the close of the year the Directors have determined on opening at Notting-hill their Sixth Metropolitan Branch, at the request of some of the most influential in habitants of the district. Approved by Court, ALBERT H. PETiI.E, Chairman. London, chute 24, ien. " A charming story, worthy of careful pgrusal Every page contains some pure and noble thought."—Observer.

Kl are scarce, .p get their prices. Since the large public, sale a fortnight ago, of Messrs. Townend the prices which were then re alised for good prime wools, limited in quantity, have been established, and the tendency is still, if anything, in an upward direction. Quotations for really good wool may be quoted as follow, the ex treme figures in each case being for very choice parcels indeed :—Lincoln hogs, from 161 d. to 170. per lb. ; wethers, from 130. to 140. ; Down togs, 16d. to 160. ; and ewes, from 15d. to 16d., the highest figures in these cases of Down being for very choice growths of Sussex and Dorset ; and Irish hogs from 14d. to 15d., and wethers from 13d. to 13id. In worsted yarns spinners arc again asking a slight advance upon last week's quotations. A little more business has been done in twofolds for Lancashire at prices a fraction in advance of last week. There is a good demand in particular for 36's. Low 30's seem also to be moving off, Stock s are di m i n i s hi ng t o a slight extent. Oa the whole, no appreciable change has taken placo in the general demand. Lustre spinners remain very slack. The piece market shows little change. Low offers are made by mer chants in some special classes of heavy goods, chiefly for China and the East, and some business has been done therein. Some orders for fancy goods also have been renewed. The trade in plain goods is very dull. Many manufacturers are burdened with heavy stocks. Notwithstanding the advance in cotton warps prices remain fully as heavy as hitherto. MOVEMENTS OF TROOPS.---Yesterday 602 men, forming reinforcements for several regiments now sta tioned in India, and 90 women and children, embarked on board the West India and Pacific Steamship Company's steamer Australian, Capt.

REPRESENTATION OF BRISTOL—Mr. John William Miles, of Kingswesten, brother of Sir William Miles, has consented, at the request of the leading Conserva tives of Bristol, to offer himself as a candidate for the representation of that city at the next vacancy. It is believed that many of the most respectable Liberals will be induced to welcome the appearance of one who, as well as his family, has been long and honour ably associated with the commerce and mercantile growth of the city. The Radicals have as yet found out no man willing to take the place of Sir S. Morton Peto. It is reported that Mr. S. Morley, late M.P. for Nottingham, and Mr. Walter, late M.P. for Berkshire, have both been applied to by the Liberal Association, and have both declined. encountered en GALES barciu e AND e il L c o o s y s ,n, N,olFeo whichLl tp. i o E rhtl sle — sfeti l ltiyh i t e e l l i‘ i s i ll ea rnsdesy, was received at Liverpool yesterday, to the LIFE.-Intelligence with decks tha l t E t A sh il e F i u ro L n several days ago for Valparaiso, havin , g and three men a terrific hurricane westward f the was compelled to put n in i t ) o n swept, rigging and sp , _a_r i s e. dainj , iged, Vah;gone ashore, titia ; no trace washed overboard. and become a total wreck, n' ear papers can be found.

M` Mickel') Qf the Attaralasitta was un,kajuk lain: Ut4 Plailf, Tfie Telegraph, in describing the funeral of the leie Charles John Kean, says :—" Mrs. Kean had summoned the necessary fortitude to follow her husband to the grave near Keydell, the residence he had bought for his mother to end her days in. At ten o'clock the hearse and three mourning coaches, followed by a string of private car riages, left Queensborough-terrace for the Waterloo Station. The widow, accompanied by Miss Kean, Miss Chapman, and Mr. Platt, occupied the first coach ; in the second were the Rev. Dr. Gatty, Sir WilliamFergusson, and Mr. Young; and in the third Captain Barrow, Dr. Joy (the family physician), and Mr. George Everett, who has been professionally a.ss)ciated with Mr. Kean for seventeen years. The Ports mouth train, which leaves Waterloo station at half-past eleven, took the party of mourners to Row. land's Castle, a little station4hich is the last on the route before Havant. Few passengers were cognisant of the fact that the hearse, denuded of its nodding sable plumes, and shunted on a truck to the end of the train, bore within it the body of poor Charles Kean ; and those who were told the truth heard it with a regretful interest. From Rowland's Castle to Catherington Church, the road lies through the prim little village of Horndean, which has almost as many clipped yews as it has house-roofs ; and these last, being all peaked and sloping, and of about the same height as the well-grown trees before mentioned, seem to be of one family with them, and to have sprung up together. Horndean is nearly four miles from the railway station, and Catherington Church is another mile or so beyond Horndean, its square tower and high red-filed roof, with an odd, homely-looking easement in the midst of it, crowning a hill. At corners of the road, country people with their scarlet-cloaked children stood in little groups to see the funeral procession go by ; and in Horndean, where all the houses and shops had their shutters partially closed, two or three open carriages of the village kind tacked them. selves to the end of the line.

Clause 5 gives power to local authorities to direct inspectors of nuisances, or weights and measures, or inspectors of markets, as they shall think fit to determine, to pro cure samples of articles suspected to he adulterated, to have them analysed ; and upon receiving certificates from the analyst stating that the articles are adulterated, the inspectors to initiate proceedings against the adulterators or sellers, under the Act, by lodging cause of complaint and taking out the summons. Clause 6 provides that the analysts shall report quarterly to the local authorities ap pointing them, the number of articles examined, specifying the nature and kind of adulterations detected. All such reports to be read publicly at the meeting of the local autho rities appointing the analyst. Clause 7 directs that on the hearing of any complaint under the Act the purchaser or inspector shall prove to the satisfaction of the justices that the article of food, drink, or drug alleged to be impure was delivered to the analyst in the same condition as when received from the seller. Clause S provides that any pur chaser shall on payment of not more than ss. be entitled to have any article analysed by the public analyst, and re• ceive a certificate of the result of the analysis, specifying whether in the opinion of the examiner the article is adul terated, and whether, if it be an article of food or drink, it is so adulterated as to be injurious to the health of persons eating or drinking it ; such certificate, in the absence of contrary evidence, to be sufficient testimony before a justice, or in any court of justice, of the matters therein certified, and the sum so directed to be paid for the cer tificate to be deemed part of the costs. By Clause 9, analysts or inspectors are to report the prevalence of adul terations in foot.' and drink and drugs, and in manufactories in their districts, the objectionable goods to be seized by order of a magistrate. Samples to be sent to the analyst to be examined and reported on by him. The other clauses of the present Act are to be continued, merely with the addition of " drugs" after the word drink. THE HEALTH OF THE TROOPS IN ABYSSINIA.- The Lancet has received information by the last mail from Abyssinia relative to the expeditionary force. The nealth of the troops is alike excellent in the hig hlands and lowlands. There are not more than about forty sick out of the entire force. These have been placed on board the kospital ships, all of which had arrived. The climate at Zoula is spoken of as very tolerable ; it is hot during the forenoon, but a cool sea breeze springs up about mid-day. The hospital ships, as receptacles for sick,, have not, of course, really been. tested yet ; so far the experience obtained is not so unfavourable as might have been anticipated. We are assured, however, that the Indian Government, at whose request those vessels were supplied and fitted up in this country, never intended to employ them as stationary floating hospitals in the Red Sea. They will remain at Annesley Bay until a sufficient number of sick have accu mulated at the various hospitals and at Senafmi to n ee d removal, when they will proceed to Suez or elsewhere required. Meanwhile these ships have been turned to very good account. Not only aid some of the British troops l')orr-- row warm clothing from them, but in the eonipment of th e various small ho c d spitals established a t the erent halting places along the line of route to Senafe the resources of o t these etshnehsToprietsa,l with vesselstii the have regimentalbeen dr fieldaNln upon.

The increased All the water better camp arrangements had not influence on the health of the animals. at Zoula had to be obtained from artificial sources. Two co n densers were in process of erection on the shore ; and n o t b e f ore th e y w ere wanted, we presume, for the daily consump tion of water amounted to about 30,000 gallons. T he rations are satisfactor j, there being a good issue of bread and vegetables, and althougn the beef is not very prime, it is very nearly as good as the troops get in India. The arrangements for the despatch of troops are as follows: — They are forwarded in small detachments, accompanied by on assistant-surgeon, from the camp at Zoula to Senafis, which is the plateau of Abyssinia, and distant 60 miles from the seaboard. The difficulties of the ascent to Senaf6 am great, and the march is divided in to four sta c ,-es, , provision being made for the reception of any sick at four small detached hospitals, each in charge of an assistant surgeon. The first stage is from Mull:tato to Komeyloo, about 10 miles ; the second from K o ineyloo to Upper Sooroo, about 18 miles • the third from Upper Sooroo to Unita Wells, also about 12 miles ; the fovirth is to Raree- gmldv, 141 miles. The distance between IZareep;inkly and Senaf iis only about eight miles. At the last•named place and supplies of . f lie 7 c , ; ( l o 6 o ef f, c: i n , p and divisional hospitals, at an nights are cold in the extreme. There is ample camping. a w l i t l i l tu b d e e ' where the air is bracing, and the various kinds procurable from the neighbouring districts, The village of Senaf is about one mile.from the site of the ground, abundance of water, good forage, camp ; its total population ntnnbers between 290 and 300, chiefly of the Caucasian race, and lodged in wretchedly dirty flat-roofed houses. There does not seem to be much disease among them beyond ophthalmia ;luit they are said to have suffered from choler a in 1565. It will be seen that ' everything has hitherto turned out very much as those best acquainted with the climate of Abyssinia predicted it would.

The report of the directors of this company states that the gross receipts from traffic for the half-year ending the 31st of December last amounted to £118,738, as compared with £10,295 for the cor responding half of 1866, showing an increase of £11,443, which had been earned without a corre sponding increase in the expenses. After charging the revenue of the past half-year with all expenses there remained a net available balance (exclusive of the dividend of 6 per cent. paid on the extension Stock on the sth inst.) of £91,633. The balance would permit the payment of dividends - on the pre ference stock at the rate of 5 per cent per xnnum,and upon the consolidated stock at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum,carrying forward a lxdanee of £6,999 to the credit of the current half year.

Hartridge, and J. Turner, have just issued a second report, in which they give an account of their operations since February 1867, including unsuccessful endeavours to prevent the passing of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Arrangement Act, 1867, under which they state that the Board thereby constituted are at liberty to pledge the whole income of the main line for the benefit of the metropolitan undertakings. The Parliamentary contest in which they were en gaged last session has entirely exhausted the means placed under the control of the committee, and the Chancery proceedings instituted by them against the former directors of the company have in conse quence remained in abeyance. They propose, therefore, for the present to continue associated for the purpose of acting as occasion may demand, and should the shareholders again place them in funds they will resume the proceedings in Chancery against the directors, which have been suspended owing to the Parliamentary proceedings referred to and the heavy outlay occasioned thereby. CALEDONIAN. The accountants to the committee of inquiry, in reply to the observations of the auditors of this company, state that they entirely dissent from the statement of -the auditors " that almost the whole of the items comprised in the total of the deduc tions, £219,114, arise upon the question of the pro per apportionment to revenue and capital of the expenditure incurred in additions to the line, works and rolling stock, and the cost of extra substantial improvements." The accountants to the committee state that the only items in their deductions of this nature for the two years under review were the fol lowing :—£7,026 for extra cost of steel over iron rails, &c. ; £21,632 for difference in cost of renewal of wood and other bridges with stone or iron ; £3,350 difference in the cost of steel and iron tires, &e., used in renewing rolling stock ; £6,584 interest on unproductive capital, and £4,508 for fish-plating old lines ; together, £43,100. The remaining items are all ordinary re venue charges, and amount to £176,014. As regards the first four of the above items, amounting to £38,592, the accountants state that the principle of the Caledonian itself up to July, 1865, was to charge the whole to revenue, and it was not until 1866 that this principle was departed from, and capital was then and subsequently charged not only with the extra cost of renewals over former outlay, but, in case of renewal of bridges, with the whole cost. The remaining items of their deductions, amounting to £176,014, are, as already stated by the accountants, not within the debateable ground of what may or may not be properly charged to capital. They add that they have carefully read and considered the " observations" of both the di rectors and auditors of the Caledonian Company, but are not thereby induced to alter the conclusions arrived at in their report to the committee of in quiry. They also mention that the entire, cost of renewing rolling stock, including steel tires and axles, and increase of power and capacity, has been charged to revenue by the Midland Railway Com pany, who, since June, 1861, also charged to re venue the extra weight of material used in relaying and fishplating, and that no charge has been made by them to capital for additional cost of steel over iron NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE. The directors of this company intend to recom mend a dividend for the half-year ending the 31st of December last at the rate of 3f per cent. per annum, leaving a balance of £3,000.
