The Hon LORD COCKBURN in the Chair. The TIIIRTY-SIXTH ANNUAL GENERAL COURT Of this SO CIETY was held in Edinburgh on the sth March, 1850. The Eon. LORD COCKBURN in the Chair. • The Manager read to the Court various Statements relative to the Society's affairs, from which it appeared -Ist, That during the year 1849, the total number of Policies actu ally passe and issued was 600, covering Insurances to the extent of 422,0651.115. 2d, That the Capital of the Society at 31st December, 1849, was 2,167,5061.95; id., having increased daring the year to the - extent of 112,9571. 16s. 2d. 3d, That the Annual Revenue of the Society at the Same date was 300,8371. 19s. 6d.. being a decrease since last year, arising from the reduction in the rate of interest during the currency the year. . 4th, That the number of deaths which had occurred during the year 1849 was 111, the sums insured under the Policies which have emerged in consequence of these deaths, being 117,6211. 10s., or, with Bonus additions, 148,8241. 12s. 3d. sth, That the above sum of 117,622/. 10s. and the number of deaths were in the ratio of 63 per cent. of what might have been expected, according to the tables of mortality upon • which the - Sodiety's calculations are based. The accuracy of the statements read having been confirmed by The Auditor, The Chairman, Addressing the meeting, said, the Manager has now read certain papers, and made certain statements, which con tain a faithful exeosition of the exact state of our affairs. He having done so, I really am not aware what I can do to add either to your information or to your consequent confidence in this Institu tion. Ypur confidence must defend on the "facts" youlhave heard from hirn rand wee It not the usage that the person who occupies the place which 'have the honour to occupy is expected to make some address, I'th - ink thermost judicious thing I could do would be to maintain silence. ACthe same time, 'however, it has Often oc curred to me, and it occurs to me now, that perhaps a recapitulation in a quiet way, and in ordinary language, of the almost technical statements made by the Minager, may sink more deeply into your minds, and bet snore easily carried away—(Applause)—and there fore allow me to recall to you a few of the leading facts which you have-now heard.— (Renewed applause.) One of the first of these—at least the one that leads me to consider • the remark I have to make first—is one that I was not aware of myself till very recently, which is the view exhibited of the pro aress,of this Institution by our mere numbers. I do net hers epeak of the gums insured, of our investments, of our secu rities; or of anything of that sort. Look at our mere numbers. I know no better tast of a society like this being well managed,—of there not only being no suspicion in regard to it, but that public con fidenoe has been always on the increase, than in the increase ' of the number of its interested members—of members, I mean, who have no interest but pure selfishness—who are as anxious as men can be to protect themselves from misconduct, in' order that, if thmeou.sly detected, it may be timeously corrected. Now I find that in the year 1815, when the Society was instituted, we began with a small nest-egg of 49 members—(Laughter)—and it did not look well for the year 1816, that the eggs laid then were only 17. (Renewed laughter.) I also find that during the first six years of the SoCiety's existence, 212 were the sum total of our chickens.— (Laughter) And here I may observe, that the first thing that strikevane is the great caution with which the lives must have been selecte4; for of the 49 members who were admitted in 1815, 25 earsos,os , eleven still remalu upon the books, after deducting many who surrendered their policies, add who, for aught we know, may be 'wing Mill. Then, of the 17 who joined them in the year 1816. after educting many surrenderers, there Are still three upon the books ; and of kite 212 who joined the society during the first- six years' of Its existence, nearly GO surrendered their policies, but 49 still survive. —(Applause.) These seem to me to have been well selected lives.— (Hear, hear.) And the result now if that, at the end of 35 years, the number , of our members amounts, not to one- thousand, nor to two, nor to three, nor to four, nor to five, nor even to six, but to above six thciufand.—(Applaase.) 'We have now above six thousand in sured lives. From this fact I infer nothing but this—that, since we haye so many jealous but uncomplaining eyes prying into us, I pre sume thist we cannot be an ill-managed body. The 13usiiiess done during the year 1849, after deduction of several Policies which were cancelled, amounts to above 422,0001.; that is to say, 04 last year the Insurances which we effected amounted to that sum. The number of Policies on these insurances amounts to ‘OO, being.; at the the average, over all—which, I am told, is a high one—ofaio lees than 7001. on every policy. The Capital has increased during the year that is now closed by above 100,000/. ; and the total Capital that we own now amounts to 2,1674061.; that is to say, in round numbers, which will be far more easily remembered, considerably above Two Millions of money.— (Applause.) The statement that we have above Two Millions—that is to say that we - oriiht to'hate it—would be a very idle one, if our funds were not well invested; many a mall thinks he has, and he ought to have it e lint-when he comes - to grasp it it eludes the closing hand ; and; therefore,. it is of vital and allstmportant consequence to be told in this place, that of our investments, so far as we have discovered, we have never yet made a single bad one.—(Applause.) These in vestments are, for the most pert, laid out on real security—l mean within Scotland, the best country, in my belief, for real security, in Europe ; and, besides this, a large portion of our capital is invested in loans to tile members, upon the security of their policies. What better security can there be than that ?—(Hear, hear.) A member when ho dies is our creditor, say for 1,0001. ; and he asks for a loan of 5001. ' • if the policy be of equal value, we lend it to him, because we lend it to him out of his own money. With such a security we can advance it ; and we are as certain of its return as he is that he has claims neon us. Part of these two millions is laid out in Bank Stock—l mean stock of the chartered Banks of Scotland and the Bank of England, which 1 believe is as secure as can be. There is not a Denny of it laid out in any Bank Stock of which a single iiidividual in private life entertains the slightest doubt. A little of our capital is laid out in redeemable annuities, which, by the law of Scotland, as we all know, fall under the class of advances secured under real property. Some of it is laid out on railway—mark my next word, for this first one makes many people tremble—(A laugh) —some of it is laid Out on railway de bentures.—(Applause.) Not one single sixpence of it—if there was a farthing of it, I would tell you honestly—but not one single farthlng of it is invested in railway shares. One fact which I have to state is one which, above all others, testifies the solidity of these investments ; and it is, the regularity and the promptness with which the interest on the loans is invariably paid. Wherever an in vestment is not met by regular payment of the interest, let the creditor begin to tremble. Now, with us, we have never found the least cause for fear or doubt. The interests, I understand, are always paid almost avithhi a day of the time. The result I draw from all this is, that not only are these investments good. but that they are so good, that better could not be obtained. ky belief is that if these investments were all now thrown loose, and the Di rectors were required to retrace their steps, and to get good securities, they could, and therefore they would, do nothing but recur exactly to the securities that they have already obtained.— ( Applause.) The six thousand members of this Society have laid by above two minions of as well-secured money as can be secured in this world - Gluck. - Spontinl. Our annual revenue has decreased from the recent fall of interest daring the last year, but it is now above 300,500/. The sum total of what we have insured amounts to above Six Millions and a Half. The deaths In 1849 are peculiarly instructive. In the first place, tkey amount to 111—a great number, and to be accounted for only by the prevalent pestilence. But yet though they amount to 111, they are only sixty-three • per cent. •of our calculated. probabilities ;—that is to say, that our system is founded on the cal:illation that there would be 100 deaths, while instead of that, there have been only sixty-three, leaving thirty-seven per gent, over and above for the security of the Soclety.—(Applause.) the 111 who have died—let the upper ranks think of this fact-24 have fallen by cholera. It Is commonly thought that this is a visi tation which afflicts only the poor and the destitute. I dare say it afflicts them first. and worst, but it is by no means confined to them ; for we heard it to-day stated, that of those who died from it last year connected with this society,- one Individual was insured for 5,0001., one for 4,0001., one for 3,0001., two for 2,0081., and one for 1,500/., and that the whole twenty-four were insured for something like 27,0001. ; and therefore you will observe that these, apparently periodical visitations, ought to strike a lesson of prudence on the minds of men in all classes. The sums paid by us since we began in 1815, are above 1,164,000/. ; and this is a fact with which I was much struck. We have distributed above eleven hundred thousand pounds. We have relieved to that extent the families of those members who trusted us ; and the example that was given by ale manager so technically, and with such proper brevity, of the benefits of this Institution, Made a great impression upon me, as I have no doubt it did upon the meeting. The case I refer to was that of an old member who died abroad last year, and who had insured three times, each time for 1,0001. Well, be dies, and he bas claims upon us for 3,0001. cer. tale. But besides that, his representatives will receive considerably above 2,000/. as a Bonus. Thus, upward of 5,0001. is secured to his family ; and, even after paying that, the Seelety was plus nearly I,sool.—(Applause.) The next natter which I have to state is, one for which I am ♦ery grateful ; and it is, that we have had up to this day, no litigatio n ._ (Laughter and applans3.) Now, what I have stated are the material facts ; and what else need I say? It is not my business, and I am sere it would be no SatiSfadtion to you. if I were to boast of the excellence of our system, or the greatness of our success ; and still less would it give any satis faction to you if I were to do that froi - i which every respectable So ciety will for ever abstain—that of attenOsting to raise ourselves by a contrast or comparison, or even by an allusion to kindred Institutions. —(Applause.) I have stated thefactst ; and having done so, I can do n o more. It is for you to judge how your affairs have been managed, and to carry away with you those resolutions or judgments which the statements you have heard are calculated to produce. My inferences are merely two. It seems to me, in the first place, that this is a Society n which we may have perfect confidence.—(Hear, hear.) My belief —knowing as I do so t ething about it, although not so much certainly as many others—is, that our confidence in it may go to this extent, that if we were to begin our career again, with the experience which we have acquired, I know many ways in which we might act differ ently, but I know no way in which we could do better.—(Applause,) Moralists have often amused themselves by speculating about what a man would do, if he wat again to become a boy, with all the expe rience of his manhood. If this Society were to do so, I seriously and firmly believe that if we were to begin our career in 1815, with the experience which we have gained between that time and the year 1850, we should walk in the very paths, nay in the very ruts by which we have reached our present state. My other infer ence—although it is something very like repeating the same sermon twice—is, that it is the duty of all of ,us to do all in our power to propagate a knowledge of this Institution, and still mere to propa gate a knowledge of the great duty, in this precarious life, .of setr-preservation by insurance. Some people talk as if there w e re too many societies of this kind. Ido not azree with them ; ar.d I am perfectly certain , that, if the public, and every individual eft it, • Ives adequately impressed with the Imifortance of insuring their lives, there would not only not be too many, but it would be, found that there was perhaps a great deal too few.—(hear, hear.) The greate thing is to g e t th e community steeped in the conviction that theree is no way in which th e y can - pract i se t h e great duty of pru o well as by life insurance. All men are convinced that pru dence is a v i r t ue, but all re en are not convinced that there is no form in which that virtue can be practised with so small a present sacrifice; contrasted with m s a o great tel an ultimate reward. If you want any examples of this, I . you where you are to find thent. You are not to seek for them here. l a pin must go among the remit] ea amongst whom the society laas of those who have been bere ave d already distributed greatly beyord n a million of money. Go i .nto these families, and ask them w hat . thethink of life insurance. 'f ey . their tell you that instead of thinking it, iunreasonable and useless,y e experlenei their only pane, even at the Is, that tt.Thhiecernhfea oft heir house ha l l tire blessings of life inurance, not carried it to a greater extent. ' do, Gentlemen, ie. in your various spheres,e t ore, what Yell have to your friends-to urge it simply upon these two urge this duty upon can zooid' death, and that no man can fix itsgrounds. that no Man is a science which, out of individual • Period ; but that surancenal it period in laws of eeneral uniformity; and thus converts the ' es, extracts: ness of life into a method of correcting it s eacertainYterY precarious_ the made upon me ; what yours are, I Y.

Ar•mo A ~ b it v-‘,,,:r 14 , truing LONDON, THURSDAY, MAY 9, 1850. About twelve months since we directed the public attention to an experiment that was then about to be made. It was proposed to establish a joint-stock bank to be conducted on principles which, if not wholly unknown, had at least never been brought into practical operation south of the Tweed ; to intro duce, in fact, the Scotch system of banking into the metropolis, and to afford the great facilities allowed in the northern division of the United Kingdom to the numerous and important classes who had pre viously been debarred of all banking accommodation. Everything augured favourably for the success of the contemplated establishment. The characters and stations in scciety of the promoters afforded an undoubted gua rantee that the future business would be conducted with strict honour and unimpeachable fidelity. The name of the Chairman was in itself a tower of strength; JOHN MACGREGOR, the Member for Glasgow, was no ordinary man. His great expe rience in commercial affairs, acquired during the long period that he filled, with credit to himself and ad vantage to the country, the important situation of Secretary to the Board of Trade ; his great intelli gence and well-known judgment, and clearness of in tellect, rendered him peculiarly qualified for the position he was about to fill. As is well remarked by our esteemed contemporary, the Bankers' Magazine, he did not lack " the resource, the vigour, and the courage requisite to conceive, construct, and carry out the proposed undertaking." It could not, in fact, have been commenced under more propitious auspices for yielding handsome profits to its shareholders, and proving exceedingly beneficial to the community in general, more espe cially to the industrious and saving classes—the small traders—who could not afford to keep lying idle and unproductive the large balances expected by the existing establishment to be retained by all who kept open accounts. But, although the experiment was new on English ground, it had been fully tested among our Scottish brethren, during a long series of years—affording a healthy stimulus to the trade and agriculture of the country—and, indeed, to its operation, may, in a great degree be attributed the prosperity of the sister kingdom,'which afforded so favourable a contrast to the unfortunate condition of Ireland. While in England, every accommodation that could be desired, was af forded to the wealthy few, the same advantages were provided in Scotland for the many. The smallest deposits were received, the humblest accounts kept open. Not merely small tradesmen, but even hard-working operatives and domestic servants were invited to pay in their savings, where they had full security for their money, and fair interest was al lowed on their deposits, whether kept as floating balances or only repayable at fixed and specified periods. The value of .2 good and unimpeachable character was there learned, for "cash credits" were granted to persons who, though without capital them selves, could yet find solvent friends to guarantee their integrity. Such persons frequently became the most valuable customers of the establishments, to which they owed their elevation in the social scale, and for which they naturally felt deeply grateful during their future career. They therefore supported and sustained through every struggle the banks, which being founded on a broad basis, survived many storms to which more exclusive and aristocratic concerns must have succumbed. The result was, that the failures of English banks might be reckoned by hundreds for Scottish units, and the losses to the English community by millions for thou sands that had been lost in Scotland. We believe, indeed, that we are justified in saying that since the Act of Union with that country there has been not more than 25,0001. to 26,0001. lost by the public through the failures of the very few Scottish banks that have suspended payment during the entire period. With such a precedent, the directors of the British Bank could speak boldly of their future prospects ; a rich mine lay before them that had hitherto been wholly neglected, for while they offered everything to the rich and wealthy that could be obtained at any existing concern, they opened their doors to all, being willing to accept deposits as low as 20s. They saw no such distinctions between the dispositions and habits of the inhabitants of the northern and southern divisions of the kingdom as should lead to the failure in one of a plan which had been so eminently success ful in the other. Under such circumstances, the shares were speedily subscribed for, and within little more than six months after the preliminary meeting of the di rectors—in the month of August, 1849—the royal charter was obtained, and the British Bank was opened for business in the following month at Token house-yard, Lothbury. Since that time its progress has surpassed the • most sanguine anticipations of its projectors. Al i though many difficulties must be experienced in the commencement of any description of business, more especially of banking, the concern has triumphantly surmounted all impediments. It is no longer an ex periment, it is , " a great fact." Already two branches have been opened in addition to the parent establish ment in Lothbury—the one in Bridge-street, Lam beth, the other in the Strand; and another branch will be opened near the Angel, Islington, as soon as the premises have undergone the necessary altera tions. We heartily congratulate the directors and share holders on these felicitous results. We congratulate the trading community, the industrious men of small capital, on the golden opportunity that offers itself. A. cursory glance at the advertisement, which will be found in another part of this. day's impression, will explain the nature of these advantages that have so long been desired by the middle classes. The British Bank will now be-found to fill up the void that pre viously existed between the savings' banks on the one hand and the aristocratic banks on the other, while to the highest and lowest, the rich and the poor, it offers advantages equal to any they could have ob tained from their own peculiar institutions.. Many of the savings' bank depositors will probably avail them selves of these advantages, more especially if the mea sure, recently introduced by Sir CriARLES Wool), should pass into a law, reducing the amount that can be lodged in any year, and diminishing the rate of interest that can be paid by any of these establish meats. Two national sentiments upon which the British nation, as a nation, most especially pride themselves, were yesterday commemorated by two festivals, which were held within the walls of the London Tavern. The one was the anniversary festival of the Society of Friends of Foreigners in Distress, and the other the similar meeting of the Printers' Pension Society ; the latter held under the presidentship of a Mr. FREDERICK young and p rom i s i ng statesman, PEEL, th e f ormer presided over by the philanthropic Duke of CAMBRIDGE. These two assemblies re presenting, as they de, sentiments so essentially national, are invested with more real interest than always attaches to more outwardly magnificent entertainments. If there is one of our political privileges in which, more than any other, the people of this country feel an especial and personal exulta tion, it is in their peculiar enjoyment of the liberty of the press, and if there is ono of our national peculiarities in which they take a particular and be coming pride, it is in that world-wide hospitality which the shores of Britain have so repeatedly offered to refugees from every quarter of the globe. Hence it was only a very natural circumstance that the as semblies held yesterday for the promotion of a particular support to these g rea t pr i nciples should ' have been numerously attended, and characterised by the eloquence of the speakers and the enthusiasm of the auditors. The discourse of Mr. PEEL was worthy of the occasion ; it was remarkable for a libe rality of spirit that might r easona bl y h ave b een antici pated the son of Sir R OBERT P EEL, an d t h e young Member whose first spee c h i n P ar li ament was made aed in the great cause of religious tolerance. " If," said Mr. PEEL, at the dinner yesterday, " those who con tribute to the happiness of existence are entitled to the support and sympathy of their fellow-men, then do I know no class which can prefer a more valid claim in that respect than the body of pressmen and compositors. There is scarcely any member of the community who is not under an obligation to re member the journeymen printers. The journeyman printer is instrumentally the immediate agent in forming the mind of every man amongst us." The truth of this assertion is indisputable, and hence the claim of these our instrumental benefactors on our gratitude and assistance is most obvious. It is only fair and right that those who, during the bur den and beat of the day, have devoted their assiduous labour and energy to a work to which we are indebted for our noblest thoughts and our purest pleasures, should in their time of trial, in sickness, suffering or old age, receive at our hands some trivial help adequate per haps to minister to their necessities, but quite inade quate to repay our life-long obligation. Such is the object of the Printers' Pension Society. The subscrip tions collected yesterday amounted to 3001., but there is still room enough for other contributors. Mr. PEEL, by his attendance and by his discourses, honoured himself as much as he may have benefited the society. A young politician could hardly find a better mode cf entrance on the path of political distinction than by identifying himself with the cause of intelligence and philanthr ophy. While the claims of the journeyman printer were being thus ably advocated in one chamber of the London Tavern, i n another some illustrious foreigners were d o i ng homage to the charita b le spirit of the British people. Baron DR WTDEN- BaucL in an excellent address very happily, and no less truthfully, observed—" There is scarcely a word in the vocabulary of human infirmities which in this country has not been translated into brick and mortar." The Society of the Friends of Foreigners in Distress has, however, as the Baron justly re marked, a feature of its own, which places it above other charities. " Let Englishmen," he ob served, " relieve other Englishmen, and Ger man relieve German, Frenchmen relieve other Frenchmen ; in so d o ing they are all obey ing the impulse of a feeling which every one fosters in his breast for his own country-men ; but .as soon as benevolence steps beyond the limit of com munity of race and origin—as soon as it extends its boons to men who have no other tie with their re- lievers than to be men themselves—in short, when men meet together to unite and combine their efforts for the special purpose of relieving foreigners, then such acts are more than mare acts of humanity— they bear the stamp of high civilization." The speech of the American Minister was such as became the ambassador of a free people. " I am here a stranger," he said, " but I do not feel myself a foreigner ; I am hero with very great pleasure, be cause I am in the presence of a society combining all nations, hindreds, and tongues, and upon a platform as wide as the world, comprehending men of all re ligions, of all shades of political opinion, and of all views of government. lam here, I rejoice to think, in the presence of all the nations of the world ; and I think it is appropriate, upon the whole, that I should be here, representing, as I do, a country comprised of all the nations of the earth. I rejoice, too, that lam here, although in a foreign land, because this is a land where all enjoy the largest liberty regulated by the wisest laws—a land wherein it is a glory to me to stand upon the soil of my ancestors —men who understood the theory and the practice of con stitutional liberty. I think, then," he observed in conclusion, " that one good object is especially obtained by such meetings as this—they bring together, not only men of different nations, but men dissimilar in social habits and in political views ; and we find from them, that after all there is very little difference in the different members of the human race. All then that is wanted, and all that we desire is, that the human i race should be so br oug ht together, that we may see each other, compare our opinions, examine our feelings and views; and, so far as I am concerned as representing my country, I beg to pledge to you our kindest feelings not only towards this our kindred nation, but towards every nation in Europe. My mission here is to cultivate good feeling not only with Great Britain, but with every power , in Europe." THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 9, 1850. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. was yesterday crowded, The National Assembly as it was understood that two great events were to come off during the sitting —the first appearance of M. EUGENE SUE in the character of representative, and the introduction, by M. BAROCRE, of the Elec toral Bill. General BEDEAU having taken his seat as Vice- President (the wily M. DUPIN cautiously abstains from mixing himself up with this Electoral Bill), the burly km and jovial face of EUGENE SUE were per ceived entering the Hall. He was dressed, as he al ways is, with the utmost care, and his hair and beard had been trimmed with the greatest neatness. He looked much younger than he really is (EUGENE SUE is forty-nine), and seemed amused at the atten tion which his appearance excited. On entering he went up to the bench occupied by MM. DE FLOTTE and VIDAL, with whom he shook hands, and then took his seat beside them. At three o'clock M. BAROCHE, the Minister of the Interior, ascended the tribune, and addressed the Assembly as follows : " I have the honour to lay upon the bureau of the As sembly a project of law having for its object to modify , the electoral law. We consider the duty we have un dertaken to be of the most imperious charac:er. Com merce is paralysed by the existine law, which fills the best-disposed minds with apprehension, caused by the manner in which universal suffrage isnow exercised. The question concerns the salvation of society. The condition of residence, confined as it is to six months, appears to us very dangerous. It serves to agglomerate certain votes in the great centres cf population. The elector ought to find himself placed under the eye of his neighbours, and feel himself inspired by their gocd sentiments. The du ration cf domicile ought to be pros aged. We propose to extend it to three years.—(Sensation.) By this means the elector will not be surrounded by party pas sions. By what means is the question of domicile to be proved? By the inscription upon the registry of the amount of his personal contrib u ti o n. You are aware that all citizens Ought to have th e ir names inscribed on the registry, except the indige n t. With regard even to these we do not want to exc l u de them from voting , and so we have sought other legal proof of three years' domicile in their favour. Domestic servants will be con sidered to have three years' domicile after living so long with their masters, and the same rule shall apply to workmen lodging in the establishments of their em ployers; also to p u bli c f unctionar ies residing in the offices where th e i r f unct i ons are exerc ised; also to soldiers and sailors in th e communes where dwell their families. : We hope by these regulations to extract from universal , suffrage those v i ces wh i ch are g i ve n to it by passions. We propose, in fl ue to exclude all pe rsons condemn ed for crime and m i s d emeanour, a ll functionaries de prived of offic e on account o f j u dicial sentences, and all such as m a y b e condemne d for mendicancy or as vagabonds. We propose, too, that in contested elec. Cons, in case where the candidate havin: the majority should not yet have obtained the fourth of the votes, that there be three renewals of the scrutiay, and that then, should the result not •be changed, that the candi dates having the rel a ti ve ma j o rity be declared to be re turned. With regard to the arm y, we propose that in stead of their b e i ng pu bli s h e d b e forehand, that the whole be sealed and transmitted to the Prefects, to be con founded with the other votes. With respect to the time f,r filling up a vacant y th e Bill proposes to extend it from forty d ays to si x mon ths, at the option of the Government." The Minister concluded by for the Bill. demanding urgency M. VICTOR LEFRANC was about to speak, when the vice-president in the chair, General BEDBAU, an nounced that a motion for the previous question had been put into his hand ; it was at once put to the vote, when there appear e d_ For the previous question 197 question .... .... Against . ................ 453 Majority aga i nst the previous Generals c.vv ueasltGi ....... ................................ thQ M7 Mic i"litnY against the Mi n isters. ED DE BOURGES then proceeded to oppose the demand of urgency made by the Minister amidst loud cries for a division. General LE BRETON desired to speak, but gave way to M. G. DE BEAUMONT, who denounced the Bill as devoid of common sense, but Would vote for urgency as a means of bringing the question more speedily to an issue. M. V. LEFRANC opposed urgency, because such a Bill ought to be maturely considered. The cries for a division became so great that the chairman put the question of urgency, which was de clared by asses et leve, and the Assembly adjourned to Friday. That section of the moderate Republicans over which M. COQUEREL, the Protestant Minister, pre sides. has determined to oppose the Bill for modifying the electoral laws. The PRESIDENT of the Republic visited the Fort of Aubervilliers on Tuesday, and was well received on the Boulevards, in the Faubourg Poisonniere and La Vilatte. He was received with acclamations by the workmen of the quarter, and their wives presented him with bouquets. The PRESIDENT distributed se veral decorations to the men and officeis of long standing in the service. AI M. DE TINGIIT, DEMARETS, and TRON, have pre sented the following strange proposition to the Na tional'Assembly :—" If it should happen to the con stituted authorities to be paralysed in their action by any event, the councils-general are authorised to assume the authority immediately in their de partments, to collect the taxes, and dispose of the public force until the re-integration of the regular powers." It is said that the reactionary majority of the Assembly contemplate bringing in a Bill for the restoration of capital punishment for political offences., but we can scarcely imagine that they can be so mad as to pass a law of which at no very distant period they must themselves inevitably become the victims. The Bourse was animated, and Government stock was in de wand at an advance. The Five per Cents., which closed at 87f. 90c., opened at 88g. 30c., and rose to 881. 60e, at which they closed firm.

Three or four other vessels were telegraphed. These are the earliest arrivals since the year 1831. Accounts from Belgium state that the Chambers bad authorised the Government to form tele ,, raphic lines of communication on all th e ra il ways, and that the first to be undertaken would be from Ostend to the frontier of Germany. The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 7th inst. was firm for home securities. The Dutch Two-and-a-Halt per Cents. were 554. Spanish were also a little in re quest. The Frankton quotation on the 6th inst. was 77i for the Austrian Meta Hies. The defective system of savings' bank management, and the frauds discovered, invest with special interest the report of any institution which can show a steadily and successfully pursued plan of operations, extending over such a period as will afford some guaran tee that the results are not simply those of a lucky ex periment. The Provident Institution at St. Martin's place, Westminster, appears to claim pre-eminently the honourable distinction not only of an honest, but like wise of au ably -managed establishment. At the desire of Prince Albert, its president, a very rigid investigation has been made into the state of its affairs, and a full, though excellently-digested, report has been drawn up by the gentlemen who undertook the task, viz., the Governor ef the Bank of Englaud, Baron Lionel de Rothschild, John Masterman, EEq., and Sir Edmund Antrobus. Mr. J. Coleman the account a nt a pp o i nte d t o aid those gentlemen, be ars high testimony to the system carried out for checking the accounts. The institution, he remarks, is the largest in the kingdom, the deposits amounting to 1,193,582/, and was founded in 1816, the deposits that year being only 8,3411., and its aggregate operations since amounting to 8,699,4021. At an average 1,560 deposit books are brought in weekly. The surplus of assets is 16,239/., besides the building, &c., worth about 7,500/, and there has been no instance of fraud on the p art of tiny efficer.

The Roman Government announced on the 30th theconstitution of a new bank —" The central office will be at Rome, but there will be two branch establishments in the provinces, one at Bologna and the other at An cona . Th e capital will be two millions of crowns (about eleven millions of francs). The shares will be to bearer. The bank will be legally constituted when half of the capital has been received, but the Government may constitute it de facto with a less capital. The privilege will be granted for ten years, with a capital of one million five hundred thousand crowns, and for twenty-f our with two millions. The bank engages to coin at the mint every year four hundred thousand crowns in gold or in silver. The maximum rate of discount will be ei per cent." MALTA. We learn with pleasure, by the last advices from Malta, that the health of the venerable RUGGIERO SETTIMO, is completely re-established. He owis his recovery to the skill of an English surgeon, who undertook to perform an operation on him after the physicians of the island, had declared his case to be desperate. The Sicilian emigrants, who are at Malta, attended upon the illustrious invalid with filial tenderness, and the Governor and other princi pal authorities of the island paid the kindest and most delicate attention to him during the whole of his dangerous illness. THE PROJECTED IMPROVEMENT OF ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL.—Yesterday Mr. Daw, the principal clerk to the City Commissioners of Sewers, received an official com munication from the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's, tin reply to a request from the Court of Sewers that a deputa tion from their body, with the Members for the City and other gentlemen, should be permitted to wait upon the ec clesiastical authorities, with reference to the proposed im provement of St. Paul's Churchyard. by the removal of the dwarf wall and iron-railings from the western elevation of that magnificent structure the Catkedral, as proposed by Air. William Barber. The Dean and Chapter have conse quently named an early day for the reception of the depu tation. FRENCH PLAYS.—Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, accompanied by his Serene Highness the Prince Leinengen, attended by Lady Anna Maria Dawson, the Baroness de Speth, the Comtesse V an d er S traten, Colonel de Moerkerke, and Sir George Cowper, honoured the perform ances at the St. James's Theatre last evening with their presence. FALMOUTH, MAT 6.—(From our Private Corres powlent.)—ller Majesty's packet Peterel, Lient.

THE TAILORS' TRADE IN LIVERPOOL.—A public meeting took place at the Amphitheatre, in Liverpool, on Tuesday, at which the Mayor presided, for the purpose of bringing before the public the evils engendered by the slop sweating and middleman system rife in the above trade. Resolutions were passed deploring the evils of the present system ; calling on the clergy to exercise their powers in de nouncing the system and advocating the necessity of an Act of Parliament rendering it compulsory on all employers to have their work done on their own premises; and a petition to both Houses of Parliament was adopted to that effect. Mr. Charles Goodfellow attended the meeting from London. Two of the speakers, Mr. Smith and Mr. Williams, gave a variety of facts, showing that the sweating system prevails in Liver pool to as fearful an extent as in London. The meeting con cluded with a vote of thanks to the Mayor. PALACE ARRANGEMENTS.—On the death of Sir T. Marrable, an office of 1,000/. per ann um , i n t h e B oard of Green Cloth, an d a house in St. James's Palace, became vacant. The appointment was premised by Lord J. Russell to Mr. Norman Macdonald, in consideration of the long and arduous duties of Adjutant-General, faithfully performed by his father, the late General Sir John Macdonald. The ap pointment of Mr. Macdonald, though it is one in the gift of the Prime Minister, did not take place. The house has been conferred upon the Hon. Colonel Grey !—(when will there be an end to the good things that fall into the lap of the Greys?) —and a gentleman, a clerk in the office, has obtained the vacant post, the salary being limited to 500/. per annum, thus leaving a surplus of 500!. to the privy purse, and which will doubtless be judiciously appropriated.—Morning Paper. THE WEATHER. —The weather for these some days has been very cold for the season, but generally dry— Saturday night, however, was an exception. In the course of that night there was a considerable fall of snow, and on Sunday morning Arthur's Seat and the Pentlauds appeared in winter's covering; and even yesterday white spots were to be seen in the hollows of the hills. Oats and barley are suffering in many places from want of moisture and of heat, and the shoots of early planted potatoes which had begun to appear above the surface have been injured by the frost, but the amount of damage is not great. The wind has been this week blowing from every point of the compass, though generally from the north-east. —Scotsman of Wednesday. INAUGURATION OP EARL FITZWILLIAM AS HIGH STEWARD OF TEE TOWN OF CAMBRlDGE.—Yesterday being the day appointed for the inauguration of Earl Fitzwilliam as High Steward of the town of Cambridge, his Lordship was received at the railway station by the Mayor (Mr. IL S. Foster) and the municipal authorities. and escorted to the Town-ball shortly after one o'clock. The town-clerk having read the letters-patent, the Mayor presented them to his Lordship, accompanying the presentation with an appropriate speech. His Lordship then took the oaths, &c., after which he replied to the speech of the Mayor, and acknowledged the gratification he felt in having been unanimously chosen to till the chair, formerly occupied by Bacon, Cromwell, and Clarendon, to whose characters he paid an eloquent tribute of respect. The proceedings were then concluded, but in the evening a banquet was given in the hall, at which the Mayor psesided, to upwards of 100 guests, amongst whom were the High Sheriff of Cambridgeshire, Lard Monteagle, Mr. Adiir, M.P. ; the lion. Mr. Campbell, M.P. ; Professors Sedgwick Pryme, &c. AIUSLIN TRADE IN CONNAUGHT.—Through the aid of a Scotch firm, muslin-sewing, drapery,and embroidery, has been introduced in Mayo. In the Marchioness of Sligo's schools some hundreds of poor females are already employed, and arrangements have been made for the exten sion of this industrial system. It is one of the good signs of the times. • QUARTER TO THREE. 951 ... 95.96 Consols Ditto, Account, June 12 ONE PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS O'CLOCK. PRI CLOSING CES. think Otock I..er Cont.
