Bolton; Little Bolton—Births, 292; deaths, 121. The births are much above the average of the corresponding • quarters of former years, which I attribute entirely to the steadiness of all branches of trade and manufacture in this neighbourhood. The deaths are much below the average of the corresponding quarters of former years. Measles has been prevalent, and there have been 13 fatal cases. One death certified from English cholera, and 6 from fever have occurred. The mildness of the season, abundance of cheap provisions, and plenty of all kinds of employment, have doubtless tended to mitigate epidemics and diminish mortality. Bolton; East Bolton—Births, 220; deaths, 137. This return exhibits a considerable decrease in comparison with the average of former years. The recent sanitary arrangements, combined with the improved condition of the working population, owing to a better state of trade and the cheapness of previsions, may account in some measure for the difference. Bury; North Bury—Births, 113; deaths, 65. Deaths considerably below the average; owing, almost entirely I believe, to the extent to which sanitary measures have been carried out. Sedbergh—Births, 21; deaths, 4. The deaths still re main much below the average. Sanitary improvements have been carried out to some extent in the town of Sed bergh and neighbourhood. There has been some trifling movement of the population, but not sufficient to ac count for the decrease. The low price of provisions, plenty of work, new inclosures, and improvements in agriculture, such as drainage, and bringing moss and waste land into cultivation : these things have been the means of keeping the labourers in full employment. With provisions low, the poor have been able to procure sufficient food. Hull was the only town in which any appearance of epidemic cholera was observed. In that district and Sculcoates, so fatally visited by cholera last year, se veral persons died of cholera in the quarter; 10 at Sut ton, one at Drypool, 15 in East Sculeoates, 9 in West Sculcoates, 19 in Humber, 20 in Myton. At present this district may be considered healthy. After the ;rent epidemic cholera of 1832, a second outbreak followed in 1833, and was fatal in towns that had before been spared. It is a subject of congratulation, and is perhaps ascrib able to the better circumstances of the people, and to some of the sanitary measures in progress, that the country escaped a second visitation in 1850. The mortality in the autumn quarter was at the rate of 2.323 per cent. per annum in 117 town districts ; and 1.824 per cent. per annum in 506 districts, comprising small towns and country parishes. By causes still in operation, the towns to every tour deaths from what may be called natural causes, lost in a favourable season, one life by the poisons generated in crowded dirty houses, in the churchyards, in slaughter-houses, in undrained streets, and sewers. culturist who did not fed that his iciivi,.!ual prosperity The Trelawny up in the. 1 ‘ .) , -u:,;- crem---.l„nr) ; pority allil welfare would be difficult to find a Sootch t za n . in ibis own .tit-sea b:ink : eeetery sin. did net eoseess a d e p os it rece ipt or a jont stock bank pass-batik. Ttiey would find that the Scotchtnan did not conceive that the value end import ance of a joint-stock bank in his district was merely confined to the fact that it might off. r to him the pos sibility of having en over-drawn account. Much was heard in this country of the importance and value of in troducing into it the Scotch system of banking, but un fortunately many Englishmen to whom he had spoken on the usefulness of that system, bad fallen into the error of imagining that it simply meant the opening of some bank for the purpose of enabling tne public to overdraw their accounts. The great confi dence which was reposed in joint-stock banks in Scot land gave much strength and safety to those institu tions in that country. With the growth and extension of that system the necessity of altering the laws of debtor and creditor forced itself on the public mind, and in Scotland a those laws had been so al tered as to act harmoniously with the extension of legitimate banking through the instrumentality of the joint-stock principle. And when the people of this country began correctly to appreciate, as the people of Scotland had long since done, the importance of planting among themselves the joint-stock principle of banking, an alteration in the laws of debtor and creditor would become so apparent as to render the demand for reform in them irresistible. Ho trusted that in making these observations he should not be misunderstood, and that it would not be thought that in pointing out the ad vantages of joint-stock banks he had any wish to dis parage those of a rival principle, for the meeting knew well that, contemporaneously with the growth of the former in this great country, we had amongst us, happily, private banks, whose wealth and whose blesiness habits justly entitled them to the large amount of public confidence and support which they received, and it was in no jealous spirit or mean rivalry that he had made these observations. It was well known that a large portion of their (the London and County Joint-stock Bank's) customers were the provincial trader and agricultural classes ; and without at all mooting the question as to the extent of public benefit which might result from the alterations that had been made in reference to the importation of food into this country, all parties were agreed that the im mediate consequences of recent legislation had been to place the agricultural classes, and those small trading classes in more immediate connexion with them, in very embarrassing and difficult circumstances.—(Hear, hear.; No man practically acquainted with agricultural opera lions or the actual condition of agriculturists could fail to see that, although one of the ultimate results of our free trade legislation might be to diminish the annual rental of estates, that that effect reached the owner of the land through the side of the occupier; and that when the occupier of land found himself in circumstances where a great and sudden depression of agricultural produce took place, it was, as ail must acknowledge, accompanied by great personal embarrassment in many instances; and that it was very unlike the case of a large speculator or merchant, who might find himself suddenly with a large stock of some article, the value of which was suddenly changed by the rensaval of some particu lar tax. In the latter case a number of opportunities was certain to arise almost immediately to enable that party in a great measure to recover himself; but the case was very different indeed with the agriculturist. It wae impossible fur him, probably during the counse of his owl life, to recover himself from the serious cons• quences of a sudden depression in the value of his agricultural produc tions. The meeting would therefore feet how impanel, it was that in dealing with the agricultural classes they did not, by any act of theirs, invite or encourage the agri oulturist to meet the outgoings either from his ow MARRIAGES. The marriages celebrated in the summer quarter en sling September 30 were 37,496, or more by ten thou sand than were registered in the summer quarter of 1842, and two thousand four hundred more than have been returned in the summer quarter of any previous years. Allowing for increase of population, the proportion of marriages is greater than it has been in the same season of any year since the re gistration commenced. Except in the eastern and south-eastern counties, the increase of marriages has been general in all the great divisions of the country. In London the increase has been considerable ; in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, North amptonshire, and Bedfordshire, it has probably kept pace with the population ; in Wiltshire, Dorsetshire, and Cornwall ; in Gloucestershire, Shropshire, and Staffordshire, the increase has been still more marked ; in Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, and Der byshire, Cheshire, Lancashire, and the West Riding of Yorkshire, however, the greater part of th e excess has arisen. Northumberland, Cumberland, and South Wales exhibit nearly , the same increase as the Midland Counties. Among the counties in which the mar riages have decreased, or have not sensibly in creased, may be named—Kent, Hampshire, Suf. folk, Norfolk, :Devonshire, Lincolnshire, the East and North Ridings of York, Westmoreland, and North Wales. The marri ages at Brighton increased from 133 in the summer of 1847, and 113 in 1848, to 177; at Cheltenham, from 90 to 105; at Clifton, from 88 to 115. At Wolstanton, Burslern, and Stoke-upon-Trent, among the potteries, the multiplication of marriages is re markable. In the iron districts of Dudley, Walsall, Birmingham, and Merthyr Tydfil, the advance was slow or inconsiderable. At Coventry, as well as Spitalfields, Whitechapel, the seats of the silk try ie, the marriages increased rapidly ; as they did also at Leicester, Nottingham. and Derby, at Stock port and Macclesfield. At `.Manchester the marriages ros" from 1,097 to 1,442; at Preston, from 159 to 281; Halifax, from 215 to 313; Leeds, from 418 and 359 to 488; Newcastle-on-Tyne, frees 293 to 318; Carlisle, from 39 to 53; Merthyr Tydfil, from 160 to 213. In the purely agricultural counties marriage then still went on slowly, but steadily; iu all the iron and coal fields at but a slightly increasing rate; while in all the counties peopled by the workers in lace, silk, wool, and cotton, the number of marriages—of new families esta blished—has increased at a rate of which there are few examples in the returns of the last hundred years. And the general result is an aggregate increase in the mar riagea of the whole country during the summer quarter of the year 1850. BIRTHS. . The births in the quarter following, which ended on Dscereber 31st, 1850, were also the greatest number ever registered in the autumn quarters of any previous ) ear. 146,268 children e.sre born in the three months. The births are in general most numerous in the spring q*ter, and were eo in the epring of 1850. They have since greatly exceeded the numbers registered in previous years in r.li the division's of the kingdom—whether agri euitaral ar manufacturing—in counties ravaged by cho lera, and in c , mnties left unscathed by that plague. INCREASE OF POPULATION. The excess of births registered over deaths in the quarter is 54,245. The usual excess is forty thousand more births then deaths; the excess in the list quarter of 1845 was 50.000; in 1847, when influenza was epi denec, only 24,000; in 1849. when the cholera epidemic was rapidly declining, 38,000. In the last quarter of the year 1850, 56,971 emi grants left the ports of the United Kingdom at which there are Government emigration officers; 3,836 de parted from Irish ports, 1,903 from Glasgow and Greenock, and 51,232 from three English ports; namely, 1,702 from Plymouth, 4,282 from Lon don, and 45,248 fro m Li verpoo l . D ur i ng th e whole of the year 1850 the births were 593,567, the deaths 369,679, and consequently the excess of births over deaths was 223,888 in England; the same year 280,843 emigrants sailed from the shores of the United Kingdom-214,606 (many of them of Irish birth) from England; 15,154 from Scotland, and 51,083 from reiand. The number of births and deaths in Scotland and Ireland is unknown; and the census alone can dis close at what precise rate the population increases; but we know that the new births more than replace the vast armies of peaceful emigrants that every year assemble without muela noise, and, led apparently by the same kind ot Divine instinct that directs other migrations, leave their native land to seek homes in regions prepared for them all over the world. STATE OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH. That the health of the country is in a state not so uneetisfactory as it hes been, is evident from the re nueed mortar, y. 92,023 deaths were regist-9red; end aliowin,; fur the prot able increase of population, the rive of mortality is lower than it has been in any of the last quarters of the years 1839-50, except 1845. The rats has been such that one in 197 of the pcpulation died iu the quarter. The chances were 196 to one in this quarter, that a person would live through the three months; the average chance of living through the three months in England is 184 to one. London has suffered less than usual from symotic dis eases; and the deaths from all causes have been 12,544. Of this number 1,946 took place in public institutions; namely, 114 in the military hospitals and asylums, 1,070 in workhouses, 636 in hospitals, exclusive of 9 deaths in hospitals for foreigners-108 in lunatic asylums, and 9 in prisons, so that 1 in 12 who died in London ended his days in workhouses, 1 in 20 in hospitals, 1 in 115 in lunatic asylums, and lin 1,381 in prisons. The deaths from small pox and hooking cough are increasing; of scarlatina 429 persons, chiefly children, died; diarrhoea declined; in eenze, which destroyed more than 1,161 lives three years age, was fetal only in 26 cases; of typhus, 619 persons died; of childbirth, including metria, 117 women died. The deaths from bronchitis and pneumonia toge ther amounted to 1,868; these diseases being hull both in infancy and advanced age. Consumption was fatal to 1,455 persons of all ranks; it is the groat constant in exereble (lustre) er of men and women in the prime of life; and notwithstanding the efforts and researches of the most eminent inquirers has not yet been disarmed of its fatal powers; 17 deaths were due to intemperance, 9 to privation, 51 were ascribed to the want of breast milk, 2 to neg!ect, 1 to cold, 22 to poisoning, 49 to burns and scalds, 54 to hanging and strangling, 59 to druwuln,g, 142 to fractures and contusions, 20 to wounds, 11 to otter violence. In every division of England the mortality has de clivas:, and been lower than in the corresponding quarters of 1846, 1847, 1849. Lancashire and Cheshire present t ' no , greatest fluctuations. Tice mortality is the south-eastern division has been generally low. In Kent, scarlatina, was epidemic at Gillingham, near the Medway, where cholera was pre valent lest year; in Sussex, at Lewes; in Ilansphire, at N+-Tir Forest, Southampton, and Basingstoke. At South ampton, the deaths (300) nearly equalled the births. In Oxford and other parts of the south-midland counties scarlatina prevailed. At Harpenden, St. Albans, four deaths from fever cceurred in one house; and three other tuetnisers of the family were attacked. The house stands in an open situation, but has only ore bed-room. A very accurate and interesting account of the health and diseases ot Oxford hag been given by Dr. Greenhill; who bus for some time prepared for that city tables of m ,, r ejity, which other cities and large towns would do well to :rnitat. In Notfilk, Yarmouth, Norwich, and the neighbour ing d:strcr,3 suffered severely from scarlatina. Scarla tina and small-pox prevailed in the south-western counties. Plymouth has been exceedingly unhealthy ; is Exeter and Bath the mortality has been low. Bris tol tad Chfh rt about the average. Mea s l es was epi demic at Gloucester ; smeli-pox at Her, , f,,rd ; scar lain% at Kingsland, Leominster, and at Shrewsbury. In eiratferdshire, at Cheadle, a striking instance of immunity from mortality was noticed ; out of a po- P" l4k i" s.f 7,000 only two dt atha occurred in the month c , November, and one of these was in a child prema turely beta., Small-pox has been fatal at Wolverhamp ton, and Las raged six months at Bilston; where in the last quarts it destroyed 69 Futons, 50 of whom had never been vaccinated.

The half-yearl- meeting of the proprietors of the above bank was held on Thursday at the London Tavern. Mr. J. Sadleir, MP., was in the chair. The advertisement by which the meeting had been convened having been read, the secretary read the fol lowing report: The directors have to place before the proprietors the balance sheet of the bank, signed by the auditors of the company, up to the 31st December, 1850. It will be seen tb..t the net profits for the past half-year, ending 1850, amount to 9,9081. 9s. 101., out of which sum the directors recommend that a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annual be declared, free of income-tax, for the half-year ending the 31st Dec., 1850. which, if approved by the proprietors, will leave 3,1331. 18s. 2d. to be carried to the guarantee fund, thus increasing that fund to 35,1931. 6s. 10d. Since the last annual meeting, your directors have, in consequence of the failure of Messrs. Nash and Neale, established a branch at Reigate, where an in creasing and remunerative business is carried on. It is with regret that the directors have to announce to the proprietors the recent demise of John Cuthbert Joyner, Esq., for many years a member of the Board. The vacancy thus occasioned has been filled up by the elec tion of. William Champion Jones, Esq. BALANCE SHEET TO 31ST DECEMBER, 1850. DEBTOR. d.

There was a strong.. spirit and desire on the part of the agricultural classes to meet manfully and scrupulously every engsgam en t on , he constantly found that spirir and that anxiety forcing th, agriculturists. inclined to hope against hope, to trench or, T heir own capital, and evincing agreat desire founded or. sanguine anticipations of future reacti , .n, to encroach or thiet of the bank; and he hoped that he had the support o the proprietors in the at.xiety which the hoard had shown to be more carerul that the bank should be no parties to assist them in a matter so dangerous, and fraught with so much injury to the •itabltahment. But. on the other hand, he was bound to say that in this period of transition there was a large portion of the agricultural classes in the district with which they were connected who had had the good sense to preserve their capital intact, and the position of this bank at the close of the preseet year was a corroboration of the fact he had just stated. The directors hai endeavoured to meet the difficulty to which he had alluded, !WlC creasing the staff of inspectors, and by making an inter nal arrangement which secured the daily attendance at the bank of at least two members of the board. After some further observations he moved the adoption of t 1; report. 'The motion having been seconded, was carried unan monsly. A dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum was then declared, and the balance of 3,130/. carried to the guarantee fund. Some formal resolutions were passed, and a cordial vote of thanks having been given to the Chairman, the meeting broke up. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The following is the proclamation of the new mixed Commission of Government of Holstein : " His Majesty the King of Denmark, es Duke of Hol stein, having, in virtue of the 4th Article of the Treaty of Peace of the 2d of July, 1850, demanded the aid of the Confederation for the re-establishment of his actual authority in the duchy as the Sovereign of the State; that aid has been granted by the Royal Government of Prussia and the royal and imperial Government of Austria on behalf of the German Band. In consequence of this intervention the hostilities are suspended, the army reduced to one-third its force, and the functions of the Stathalterachaft, and the chiefs of the departments of Administration under it, terminated. The Commissaries charged for the present with the Executive Power in the Duchy of Holstein have, in virtue of the authority entrusted to them, ap pointed, a civil Administration for the State. It consists of Baron Adolph Blom; of Heiligenstedten, as Presi dent, and Baron Heintze, M. Heiexelmann (Government Councillor), M. Malmros (Councillor of the Court of Appeal), and M. Prehn; they will administer the Go vernment of the Duchy under the control of the Com missaries of the Confederation. In other places, and in dependently of their authority, the question relative to the definitive settlement of the relations of the Duchy of Holstein to the German Band, ant to the Kingdom of Denmark and the Duchy of Schleswig, will be arranged. •` The hitherto exiatifConstitution of September 17, 1848, with the law relative to die eiection of the Chem b• rs, and the decrees of the 16th of September, and the 20th and 21st of October, 1848, relating to the Admi nistration, are hereby suspended and declared valid, and the Chamber of the Duchy is dissolved. In the same manner the German declaration of fundamental rights published in the Duchy is cancelle "As no laws promulgated without the sanction of the Sovereign can have any definitive legal force, it is expressly provided that all the orders, decrees, and regulations published since the 24th of March, 1848, are only valid dining the existence of the present interim Administration, and are to be acted on by it with the reservation that it has the power to suspend or alter them without limitation. But the ad ministrative measures which have been taken since the 24th of March, 1848, will, in the same manner, be con tinued and upheld in so far as they are not suspended by the said administration. The private rights and re latiens that have arisen under these laws will not be affected by their suspension. - " The hitherto existing Government of Schleswig• Holstein, the powers and tunctions of which had already, in reality, been limited to the Duchy of Holstein, is in reference to the present state of affairs hereby set aside, and its powers transferred to the civil administration above named. " The new Government will, in the publication of new laws, and changing the course of the administration, confine itself to what is necessary. " The above is hereby publis.hed for the information and observance of the public, individually and collec tively. " Ta the name of the Sovereign of the State, and in behalf of the German Band. " H.

(From the Mining Journal) A considerable business has been done during the week, but in many instances at a reduced figure, and our column of transactions shows, generally, a lower range cf prices for dividend mines, whilst fur others there has been a good demand, without any particular advance or decline. It is, however, important to note that the bona fide success of mining adventure has been remarkably exemplified in the sudden, though not un expected improvement in several progressive concerns, and which has operated most favourably on the value of the shares. We feel called upon to give especial cur rency to the fact that several new companies are pro jected, with large paid-up capitals, thus compelling the adventurer to the payment of money which may never be wanted, and operating perniciously, as we conceive, on the management, by placing it on a wrong basis at the commencement. To call for funds as they are wanted , zppr.ars to us the only legitimate mode of conducting British mining operations. In the metal market, Coppsr is steady, without change.

At Trelawuy, Wheal Mary Ann, Alf:ed Consols, and other mines, this obstacle has been especially felt, and an improvement in the weathe is generally looked for as a means of giving increased activity to the workings now in progress. At Devon and Courteney, the lode in the 40 rise is about 2 feet wide, yielding Li toss of copper ore, per fin., of excellent quality. At Wheal Adems, the lode is becoming more pro ductive in the cross-cut westerly, with every prospect, according to the report, of a large deposit of ore being ..-peedlly reached. At ldolmbush, in extending the 120 fin. level, a branch of the lead lode has been intersected, producing a very fair qu , ntity of lead, and in places rich for silver. At East Crowndale, the bunch of tin in the bottom of the 40, east of middle shaft, is extending both in length and breadth, and of rich qualty. At Trannack and Bosence, the winze sinking from the 20 to the 30 fin. level is stated to be worth 201. per fan. A great improvement has taken place at Wheal Cie bon which has caused a considerable demand for the shares at a meal advanced price, at which several trans actions have been done, but holders are firm. At Borringdon Park Mine, the lode though only 11 fins. deep, is worth between 30/. and 401. per fathom for silver lead. At Trelyon Consols, the tin lode still continues good in the 30 fathom level, worth 30/. per fro. In Wheal Margery there is a good copper lode in the 60, and a pitch will be set in a few days. The sampling of cop per ore is expected to equal the last, and the produce of (in is increasing. By Alfred Consols report, we perceive that the lode in the 70 fm. level is 9 ft. wide, and worth from 60/. to 701. per fm.; and the lode in the rise and stopes over the cask of the same level is estimated as high as in the preceding week-from 1201. to 1401. per fm.; while the lode in the winze sinking under the 60 fan, level is stated at about. 1001. per fm. In the East Crowndale report, it is stated that, during the past month, the prospects of the mine have decidedly improved. In the 40 fan, level a rich bunch of tin has oeen found, and the value of the lode taken down is esti mated at 1201. per fm. In other parts of the mine also good results are anticipated. The reports for East Tamar and South Tamar, on the operations of the past month, are favourable. In the former, progress has been made in driving the different levels; and in the latter mine, a 124 fm, level is about to be driven, which is expected to be productive and profit able, and in the 90 end south the lode has been gradually improving during the whole of the month. A new stamps engine is also being erected. Since the notices relative to the Cardiganshire mines, inserted in another column, were in type, we have re ceived additional infortnadou, of an interesting cha racter, up to the latest moment. From Allt-ta Crib, the first returns made by the present company have been obtained this week, which more than cover the expenses. The first intention was to have forked the water, and get down to the old workings, said to be solid, and of great thickness and extent; but as the works above the adit produce 1 -age quanutins of ore, it is in! ended to contuare them dual a large 50 ft. wheel is completed, when the bottom eouree of (ire will be opened. Owns Seban is now giv -114 a profit; the mummery is very extensive, with a 60-ft. water. wheel, the largest working in the county. Some little alterations are making in details, when all is expected to go on smoothly. At Daren, ore sufficient nes been raised to pay for the expensive preparatory work, with a balance equal to one-tourth of the cost of a seam-engine, and something left for farther develop tll.o E. As Esgatr-hir aal Etaair-fraith a course oi solid , rte is being worked on, where two men will raise 2001. worth of ore in about two months. So promising is this property, that it is in contemplation to give it the name suggested by Waller, in 1698. when he made his famous aelculation to return 75,000/. per annum profit, and give his services for one seveuty-fifth of whatever it might be-viz., " The Welsh Potosi." The other mines of Cae gynon, Rhiwleygus, Geller-herein, Court grange, and Broptleyd, are progressing as well as could be desired. As Grogwynion, the ground under the great adit has much improved-the ore more massive ban in any other mine in the county. Penrhiw is mak ing a small profit, and would do well, if a market could be found for a mineral half iron pyrites and half lead, which might be brought into requisition for manufac turing sulphur, as well as obtaining the lead. We noticed last week that the late workings of the Great United Mines had not paid cost: at the meeting, held last Friday, the accounts showed a loss on the two months' working of 1,3001., and the agents reported that, unless discoveries were made, the mine could not be carried on. It was resolved to give another two months' trial, and unless great improvement takes place the works must stop, and with them most probably the Great Consols, to the distress of the population of Gwennap. At the North Basset meeting, on Wednesday, a divi dend of 1,5004 was declared, being the third dividend paid since the Ist of June last. The accounts for the past year were reviewed, showing-By amount of 3,102 tons 8 cwts. of copper ores sold during the year, 18,5281. 85. 261. Total costs for working the mine during that period, including royalty, 12,367/. 11s.; profit, 6,1601. 17s. 2d. To dividends, &c., paid from the Ist of June to, and including, this day, 6,070/. Os. 5d.; balance carried to next account, 90/. 16s. 9d. The reports from the mine are most flattering, and shall appear in our next. At the Wheal Basset two-monthly meeting, on Tues day, the accounts showed-Labour cost:for Nov. and Dec.. 2,2021. Bs. Ild.; merchants' bills, 769/. 9s. 9d.=2,9981, 18s. Bd.

It was resolved that more vigorous operation be commenced in the south part of the mine, as soon as convenient. At the East Basset meeting, representing 236 out of 256 shares, a call of 5/, per share was made. At the South Tolgus meeting, the accounts showed- Ores sold (less dues), 2,064/. 15s. Id. By mine cost and merchants' bills, November and December, 1,2481. Os. 7d.; leaving a profit, 816/. 14s, 6t1.; to which add, balance last account, 87/. 6s. Bd., and deduct dividend, 2/. 10e. per share, 6401., and paid on account of new engine 150/. -leaves balance to next account, 114/. Is. 2d. The re port states that the whole of the prospects appear very satisfactory, as the improvement in the eastern levels, on south lode, more than made up for the poverty of the 42 wast, on the north lode, while in all other parts of the mine the rate of discoveries of ore is fully maintained. At the Wheal Langford and Wheal Baring United meeting, the mine accounts up to the end of December showed a balance in favour of adventurers of 744/. 4s. 9d. A report on the mine, from Mr. Arthur D. was read to tha mee:ing, tege(her with the agent's reports. . The statem.-nt of accounts submitted a; the Gustavus meeting showed-To balance in September account, 1,272/. 15s. 81; mine cost fur the three months ending in ll , cemb.r, 3571. ls. 61. ; merchants' bills, 2641 its, 5,1.- - =1,894/.

At the East Sharp Tor meeting, on the 16th Jan., at which Alderman Copeland presided, the accounts were submitted and passed, and the report of the agents received. The accounts showed-Labour cost for September, October, and November, 2051. 19s. 7d.; merchants bills, 971. 7s. 2d, ; other disburat meats, 115/. 7s. 9d. - -=-414/. 14s. 6d.-Balance on last ac c3unt, 137/. 12s. 41.; cash received on call, 510/.

I Id., and balance of liabilities over :assets, 746/. 165., was submitted and passed. Some de lay having unavoidably occurred in getting the ore to market, owing to an accident in the adit level, and the sinking of the vessel bearing one cargo to ilolywell (which, however, was insured by the committee of ma nagement), it was found necessary to make a call of 2s. 6d. per share. There are 63 tons of ore upon the mine, a cargo of which will be sent off for sale as soon as a vessel van be procured. At the United Mines meeting, held at Tavietock, a committee was appointed to consider the rules and de termine on the future operations respecting the mine, and arrangements to be made with the lords of the soil. At the West Trethellan meeting the accounts for four months, endifig December, showed-Balance from last account, 210/. 19s. 10d.; ores sold (less dues), 118/. 15s. 10,1..---3291. 15.5. 83.

It is the belief of those who are well acquainted with Captain Wynue that he will prove a valuable acquisition to the military phalanx. •• U. has," says a correspondent, " a sound head, a knowledge of the sci..ntific and practical parts of the trade, and taus the advamtage of Lo-ing behind the scenes as to what is actually passing iu the service, by being a full pay captain in on, of the best disciplined and best drilled regiments in the British army." 1 / 1 , - -PUTY /ADJUTANT GENERAL.--C,lonel Wetherell, the Deputy Adju , ant- G , -neral to the Forces, is to be deprived of the pa) he derives from the appointment he holds as one of the Aides-de-Camp to her M4jebty, the o appointments being considered incompatible with the duties t , f each other. COMMISSARIAT DEPARTMENT.--,A ssistaat Commis sary-General Mends, who has recently returned from duty at Sierra Leone, is to proceed to South Australia, to take charge of the department in that colony. This measure has been deemed expedient, in cons , quence of the great aumber of Enrolled Pensioners embarking for that station. WAR AT THE CAPE.—In addition to the four com panies of the 73d Regiment, with a detachment of Royal Artillery, which left Cape Town for Simon's Bay on the sth of December, a further force of a troop of the Cape Mounted Rifle Regiment, and a detachment of the 91st Regiment, have proceeded to the Leeuw frontier. The whole of the troops stationed on the frontier are to be concentrated in British Kafraria, under the command of Lieutenant-General Sir Harry Smith. TRES FOR 185 rARY. 26 [CH.

THE OFFICERS OF THE APOLLO,--Mr. Pead, Mas ter's Assistant of the Apolo troop-ship, at Sheerness, has had his services dispensed with. Mr. Phillipps, clerk, has been missing from this ship for many days, and another clerk has been appointed.

In submitting to them the result, which it was now his duty briefly to place before them for their consideration, it did not occur to him that he need trouble them with many observations. It was to him certainly a gratification to have this renewed opportunity of meeting and addressing them on the affairs of a baele in the prosperity and progress of which they had a direct and common interest. But when the affairs of a public company began to progress smoothly and well, it might be generally remarked that directors as well as chairmen could afford to be brief.—(Hear.) They were now fortunately in a position which enabled the direc tors to place the condition of the company's affairs before the proprietors in a concise, and, be hoped they would say, in a satisfactory manner— (Hear, and cheers)—and, indeed, when a fortunate state of things arose; it was needless for chairmen to draw on their powers of speech. He was not anxious to in dulge in a train of thought which might excite in others exaegerated notions of the future condition of the bank, and he was equally averse to the expression of anything that might induce them to take a discouraging view of the past. But in any such view—which could certainly not be profitable—of the management of the affairs of the bank, he felt that in reference to those to whom that management had been intrusted, they ought never to forget the circumstances under which the errors of past years had arisen ; because in the continued remembrance of those circumstances they would con stantly have before their mind lessons of experience, which might well serve as a useful guide for the safe conduct of their bank in future. The position of their bank had not been altogether stationary for the few and eventful years that had passed since he ead had the ho. nour of becoming connected with it. It was impos sible for their directors to forget, even for a single week, during that pericd, the errors of previous years; for the proprietors well knew that they (the directors) had been called upon during that period to pay on their (the proprietors') behalf the penalties of those errors. It would be quite enough to bear in mind that they had not only met those penalties, but that they had, at the same time, succeeded in so conducting the affairs of the hank as to return to the proprietors what he deemed, under existing circumstances, a large dividend, to increase their Guarantee fund, and to diminish other pre liminary expenses. Now these were matters which it was not easy to accomplish at one and the same time, and he thought that he might usefully present, in a pointed and prominent manner to the proprietors, these pregnant and plain facts. He thought they were encouraging, and that they justified him in entertaining anticipations which ho did entertain with respect to the future pro gress of their establishment. As yet their bank was not lull grown. In addition to those objects which they had in view and had effected, they tad been laying broader, and he hoped better foundations, on which to increase and extend its business. He was anxious to take this opportunity of adverting to the main principle on which the institution rested. He had always been, at tached to the joint-stock principle. It had been, as they well knew, applied to a great variety of enter prises in this and other countries, and necessarily and naturally it had not been always suceesaful; but the triumphs and the success of the joint-stock principle, when interwoven with the fortunes and progress of banking institutions, had been signal. And no doubt much of the success which had attended their efforts and the progress of the bank were attributable to the support of, and the manner in which, the pro prietors and the customers of it had appreciated and relied on the joint-stook principle. Much of the prosperity and the present strength tithe bank was, he must observe, attributable to themselves, to their con nexions, to their neighbours and friends, who were its eustomr , rs. Perhaps it was to our insular position that he ought to attribute the circumstances, that we were, nevertheless, slow to adopt great k- d and teet e d by p r inciples which had been develop other nations and other races. But, at all events, We outtht to b., qui!, k and energetic in imitating the example of our neightiour , and fellow-suh jects, who were remarkable for the persevering spirit , n u t ld .sto :l r e k the with whi c h they cateinuea to r e ly on , en d t . extend, ;be joint-stock principle as a ppli ed to hankie. ' and he w meeting t o look upon '' and to admire the spirit and the feeling which had interwoven themselves with cv.rything tea: appertained t o corn , tnerce, to trade, and to agriculture its Scotland as re garded joint-stock banking. Of his own personal know ledge, he could say that, not merely in Scotland, but • other portions of th e United Kingdom, th e prosperity ln and the present wealth, not only of individualsathem ho could name—not merely of towns which were well known to all of them,—but that the present wealth and D roperity, and intel4-enee, und moral bearing of en tire districne were mainly attributable to the operation and development of the joint-stuck ptieciple as cen neat d with banking.

B.—A most inanimate feeling has prevailed in the trade throughout the week, the demand for all articles having been exceedingly limited, with little, if any, variation in pric-s. Of barley and malt coastwise, and oat meal from Ireland, the arrivals at Liveirpool are to a fair ex tent, but of other produce from those sources the supplies are scanty; whilst from abroad the imports consist chiefly of dour, of which article about 8,000 sacks and 7,000 barrels are reported. Our market this morning was of a very inactive character, buyers acting with extreme caution in their opera tions. We do not alter our quotations, except for oats and oatmeal, which were both rather easier to purchase.
