THE BUDGET.—In noticing the most momen tous question of the day, the all-absorbing question of the hour, we shall not pause at the outset to consider whether it does or toes not assimilate with the general wish , but shall merely remark t l li happy the man who can produce a bud g et embracing the inte rests of all, and thrice happy he who can produce one affording uni ;enal satisfaction. Men of the larges t and most extended talents nye hitherto failed in this achievement, and to E. MOSES and SON bas been reserved the happy lot to accomplish this consummation so m tveutly wished for. While arranging their Budget for 1851, E. MOSES and SON at dace declare they had no new discoveries to make, no contend b interests to reconcile, no laboriou s task to carry out; they have to use but to pursue without deviation their old and successful course, h eir the best and most approved material in every department of t ' i r varied manufactures, to employ the g reatest possible amount of t 'cllanical skill, and to effec t sales so extensive as to make the ).,, late shadow of a shade of pr ofit am p ly suffice. Without entering'to details, of necessity too voluminous to be interesting, but for Lt uJeh th e y refer their own valued p ublic to their stock, they boldly nd unhesitatingly declare they have produced a Budget, at once em air",_,l4 the interests of all, and, at the same time, one which will Dp ". l4 universal satisfaction. For where the national wants have 4 c ilided all the relief which could have been craved by some, E. ) 0 , s'ns and EON'S low prices will enable them to bear the disap nittnent more cheerfullythose whose Avishes have been they afford the indulgence in luxuries not always attainable. handsome Almanac, for the year 1851, can be had gratis, on application.

OF TEETH A NEW and very curious invention connected with Dental Surgery has been introduced by Mr. HOWARD, of 17, George-street, Hanover-square; it is the production of an entirely NEW DESCRIP TION OF ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfretly resemble natural teeth, as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer. They will never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the ex traction of any Teeth or Roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve the Teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. The invention is of importance to many persons, and those who are interested in it should avail themselves of Mr. Howard's NEW DISCOVERY. IN SIX LANGUAGES-FORTIETH EDITION.

There was a very numerous attend ance of proprietors. Mr. OMMANNEY proposed that Mr. Ruding, a direc tor, should be voted to tho chair. Mr. MURRAY said it was his intention to have made that motion himself, and in seconding it he would merely state, that the board had appointed him (Mr. Murray) to take the chair on this occasion some time pre viously, as he had paid close attention to the different subjects which had come under the attention of the meeting; but as he found that some personal question affecting himself might arise in the course of the pro ceedings, he had thought it prudent to decline presiding over the meeting.—(Hear, hear.) He hid no doubt Mr. Ruding would conduct the proceedings with the greatest fairness and impartiality.—(Cheers.) The motion was then unanimously agreed to. The SECWAIIT then read the requisition calling the meeting. Mr. RIMING said he would take the chair, in obedience to the wishes of the meeting, though be thought Mr. Murray was in every respect better qualified than him self for that important and arduous post.—(Hear.) Mr. OTLAHERTI, M.P., then tendered his resignation, and read a letter stating his reasons for doing so were, that his Parliamentary and other duties prevented his filling, with satisfaction to his own feelings, the office of director, the duties of which he thought might be more efficiently performed by a mercantile man. The CMAIRMLN observed, that in receiving the re signation of the Hon. Gentleman, it was quite unneces- . sary for him to bear testimony to the upright conduct of their friend Mr. O'Flaherty, who had always conducted himself with the greatest impartiality and affability as a director, and he and all his brother directors were ex- tremely'sorry to lose his valuable services. —(Cheers.) Mr. MAUER, M.P., said, in handing in his resigna tion, he begged leave to be allowed to make a few ob servations. He never solicited to become a director of the Bank, but joined it at the special request of Mr. O'Connell, the late governor—(Hear)—who, at the time, considered that his (Mr. Maher's) position as a Member for a very influential county, in which he pos sessed considerable property, might be of advantage to the Bank ; and, of course, every one who knew him must be aware that he would readily comply with any-request coming from Mr. O'Connell.—(Loud cheers.) He had now been connected with the bank seven years, and during the whole of that period he had very seldom attended the board meetings —in fact, he might say, he was something like the feather in the officer's cap, nothing more than a kind of orna ment.—(Laughter.) He could describe himself in no other way, and he believed if they referred to the books of the bank, they would find that all the fees he re ceived for his attendances as a director, did not amount in the seven years to more than 404—(Hear.) He had always thought that a man of mercantile habits, ac quainted with business affairs, was a much more com petent person than himself to be connected with the bank. He thought he might say with confidence, that during the time he had sat at the board he had discharged his duty without having the shadow of a difference of opinion with his brother directors.—(Hear, hear.) He now freely resigned his seat at the board, and he hoped that they would put some one in his place who would be of service to the interest of the bank. As far as any influence he possessed, it would always be at their ser vice, as it had been before the time of his becoming a director. In taking leave of his fellow-directors he could only say that he hoped they would always pursue the same straightforward course which he had observed they always had done.—(Hear, hear.) The CRAntatert said that the same encomium which had been passed upon Mr. O'Flaherty might likewise be conferred upon Mr. Maher. While he was at the board, he had done all the good to the bank in his power. Mr. M. O'CortNELL, M.P., said he only wished to ob serve that he had given in his resignation freely, because he had always felt that he never could consent to remain a director of any body of which ho did not possess the full and entire confidence. Very Rev. Dr. MAGEE then rose and said, that being a chief instrument in the calling together of the meeting by requisition, he thought it right and prudent to say, that as far as the examination, which had been some time on hand, had allowed them to judge, the committee found themselves convinced that the bank possessed every element in itself to make it successful. A resolution to that effect would be put by the Chairman of the com mittee, which was composed of deputations from almost every part of Ireland. Mr. SPAICUT then proposed the first resolution, which was econded by the Rev. Mr. CHOLMONDELEY, and was to the effect that "The deputation having, with the sanction of the court of directors, fully examined into the affairs of the bank, and satisfied themselves that the position of the bank w'tll deserves the confidence which the public have evinced, are happy in being able to assure the proprietors that its prosperity is placed beyond any question of doubt." The CHAIRMAN they put the resolution in the farm of a report from the committee, which was adopted unani mously. Mr. Alderman HACKETT, in proposing the second re solution of the committee, which was " That the court of directors having already sanc- tioned an investigation by the deputation into the affairs of the bank, and having afforded every faei- lily in v the examination of directors, officers, books, paperF, and documents, this meeting do not consider it necessary to have any further committee appointed ;" said that in agreeing to this resolution every gentleman of the committee had expressed his entire concurrence in it, and wished to bear testimony to the courtesy with which the directors severally and individually had treated them during the whole investigation, and of the facilities which they had afforded to them. Mr. Alderman Quix seconded the resolution, which was put and carried unanimously. Mr. SPAIGHT begged to know of Mr, Fitzsimon if be had any answer to give to the request of the committee made on Saturday? Mr. FITzsIMoN said he thought he had already given an answer. Mr. SPAIGHT wished to ask if the Hon. Director still adhered to this answer; as, if he did, it would be necessary for him to move a resolution on the subject. It would place him in an exceedingly painful situation, but never theless ho had no other a►ternative but to follow up the directions of the committee. ➢lr. FITZSIMON said, in answering the question it would be necessary for him to give his reasons for the course he intended to take. In giving a negative to Mr. Spaight's question ho meant no disrespect to that numerous meeting, nor did he mean any disrespect to the deputation, much less to his brother directors who had just resigned, but he stood in a peculiar position, and upon principle he must decline to comply with the request that had been made to him. However right some persons might think it that a director should not bo under a pecuniary obligation to the bank, or however correct that principle might be in itself, he was not then going to discuss, but before it was adopted it ought to have been announced by duo notice, and such a rule not having yet existed, it was unfair to take a man behind his back and call upon him at once to resign on account of liabilities which he had incurred with the sanction of the board of directors. He was not debating the determination which some of his brother directors had come to, they knew their own views best; but, while he admitted that large sa crifices ought to be made for the sake of unanimity, he felt that he was placed in a peculiar position, different from the other directors, and in justice to himself and to his own character he was bound to pursue an opposite course. He was to be called upon to resign because he was under certain liabilities to the bank. Now, were these liabilities improperly or surreptitiously incurred ? Certainly not; they were sanctioned by the board at a time when no rule existed to the contrary, and he pro tested against the establishment of an ex post facto law upon the subject. Let them pass a resolution that in future no director should receive accommodation from the bank, and he nee not say he would be the first man to submit to it, but not having had any law against it, or a legal and proper notice against doing a certain act, it would be wrong in him now to confess that he had been acting improperly or unfairly, and ho was therefore bound to refuse the request of the deputation. 5001. of his liabilities is secured to the bank by an actual transfer to its trustees of shares which they have power at any moment without his further concurrence to sell. Those shares would then produce a sum more than sufficient to discharge the 5001., and leave a balance in his favour. His only other liability to the bank con sisted of bills yet current, to the extent of about 8001., and which will be paid whea they arrive at maturity, until which the amount cannot, in fact, be considered a debt due to the bank. As to the liabilities generally, they would have ,been long ago discharged, or much of them never incurred, but that the distress of the people in the wild mountain district in which he resided was so great, that he had to endeavour to employ them, and had succeeded in doing so not only with his own tenants, but thoso of some other proprietors, richer than himself. lie was sorry to have to speak thus of himself, but he thought it right the exact nature of tbo debt should be known. As to the question whether a director ought to receive accommodation from the bank or not, perhaps that was a matter beside the discussion, but still he might be permitted to ask why a director in London or Dublin should not be allowed to receive the same accommoia tion as a director in Cork or Limerick? Make the rule general, and adopt it after due and proper notice, and he would be the first man to bow to it, but as he had only borrowed money from the bank in the exercise of his legitimate right, upon principle he must protest against this ex post ficto mode of legislating, which was justified in characterising as odious and unjust. For many years he had been one of the public officers of the bank, and now he was its sole public officer, in whose name all proceedings, whether for or ag ainst the bank, were taken; and, of course , tha t position had put him to a vast deal of trouble and anxiety; indeed, no later ago than Saturday last, he had to render himself liable on behalf of the bank for 4,0001., and yet after all this, alter all the time and energy he had devoted to the service of the bank, ho was to be called upon at a mo ment's notice to discharge liabilities which were not due, and which were honvurably and legitimately en tered into, or to submit to a retrospective law, which he would again denounce as infanaous and unjust. The CHAIRMAN explained that the company had ample security for the advances made to Mr. Fitziimon, and observed that as his bills had heretofore all been duly and punctually honoured, the directors had no right to suppose ho would not pay his current bills when they arrived at maturity.—(Hear ' hear.) Mr. Fitzsimon kept his account w ith t h e bank, and was therefore enti tled, like other customers, to have money accommoda tion when he required it; and if he could not have ob tained that accommodation he would have been compelled to place his account with another bank—the Bank of Ireland or the Provincial Bank, for instance—a proceeding highly impolitic, because it would induce people to believe that he hid no confidence and faith in the bank ef which he was a di rector.—(Cheers.) What, therefore, could he do when ho had engagements to meet, but to apply to his bank for assistance? Every commercial man acquainted with business transactions would admit that he could adopt no other course, and on that ground he hoped before the meeting came to any resolution to displace Mr. Fitz simon, it would consider the value of the Hon. Gentle man's services, and the whole of the circumstances which he had mentioned.—(Hear.) Mr. MURRAY said it was his intention hereafter to ad dress some observations to the meeting respecting himself and the generalaffairs of the bank; but ho might be allowed to say here, that disagreeing with much that had been done up stairs by the deputation, but concurring with the propriety of carrying on the bank with peace and harmony for the future, he had taken the step of resign ing, which he deemed most advisable in the peculiar po sition in which he was placed; but he must say that if there was over a case in which a rigid rule ought to be departed from and distinction made, it was that of Mr. Fitzsimon.—(Cheers.) _ _ Mr. GARTLAND thought this discussion was prema ture, because no resolution had yet been put to the meeting. Mr. MURRAY said his object was to prevent, if pos sible, any resolution being proposed as to Mr. Fitzsimon's resignation. Mr. SpaiouT observed that the members of the deputa tion were placed in an exceedingly unpleasant situation in proposing a resolution for the resignation of Mr. Fitz simon, for whom every one had the greatest possible respect—(Hear)—but as other gentlemen had been called upon to resign under similar circumstances, it would be invidious not to include Mr. Fitzsimon in the list.—(Hear.) On that principle he felt bound to pro ceed with his resolution, though he felt the greatest pain in doing so; but a sense of duty compelled him to move that Mr. Fitzsimon be removed from the direction of the bank.—(Hear.) , Mr. TITHA M, the solicitor, said he was clearly of opi nion that such a resolution could not, under the 26th clause of the deed of incorporation be entertained by the meeting. Mr. G ARTLAND said, looking at the deed in a legal point of view, and as a shareholder, he thought such a resolution could be put to the meeting. The deputation, he believed, had selected him to second it because they knew that, if it was intended to throw any slight on Mr. Fitz3imon, or on the family with which he was con nected, he was the last man either in England or Ire land who would be a party to any such proceeding.— (Cheers.) He was not ashamed or afraid to say that no human being ever entertained a higher respect or affec tion for the distinauished individual who established the bank than he did. From the first moment he could use his reason he entertained those feelings, and no individual either in this or the other country was ander a deeper debt to Mr. O'Connell than he was.—(Cheers.) The deputation having recommended that certain of the directors should retire, he thought that, whatever was the legal effect of that clause, it would be better for Mr, Fitzsimon gracefully to resign, without putting the meet ing to the necessity of passing a resolution to the effect that a great body of the proprietors no longer possess confidence in him. Such a resolution would place Mr. Fitz iimon in a very delicate position with the share holders, and he thought the best course for him to pur sue would be to resign at once, and put an end to this discußsion. Mr. FERGUSON was not present on Saturday, but he certainly did not approve of the resolution which re quired Mr. Fitzsimon to resign. The bank had ample security for that gentleman's debt of 1,3001., aikt since Mr. Fitzsimon had done no more than bring his Iffiiiiiess to the bank, it would be as unwise as it was unjust to stigmatize him in the manner this resolution prOposed. Mr. JOHN LEEjthought the deputation up stair's ht) acted very arbitrarilly in this matter. They had require him to sanction their proceedings in the dark, without his knowing what they were all about, but he refused.' to do anything of the sort. Now, with regard to this question of prohibiting directors from borrowing money of the bank, what right had they to do anything of the sort ? The Bank ,of England did not refuse accommo dation to its directbrs, and for the life of him he could not understand why the same practice should not prevail in this bank. Ntztal Mr. FRANCIS MEAGHER thought they would do a great injustice to Mr. Fitzsimon if they excluded him from the office of director, which he had filled for so many years with great credit to himself and ad vantage to the bank. Would he not more justly have been charged with his conduct if he had opened an account with a rival institution, and shown by that nct that he was afraid to trust his money in his own bank?—(Hear.) He might remind them that the bank had now town in existence a considerale period, and, by the able management of the directors, had passed through a serious crisis, and was at pre:ent in a satis factory and flourishing condition, yet it was proposed to turn out one of the oldest directors by construing that into a fault which it was really his duty to do.—(Cheers.) If the opinions of the Irish shareholders were taken he believed they would be unanimously in favour of the continuance of this gentleman on the board. On that broad ground, and not o❑ any narrow question of law, he would put it to the meeting whether they were deal ing honourably with Mr. Fitzsimon. Were they to pass an ex post facto law, which every one who read of it would say was designedly madelfor the purpose of com pelling a director to resign?—(Cheers.) Mr. Meagher further said, that, us a lawyer, he coincided in Mr. Tat ham's opinion. Mr. GARTLAND replied—Ha did not see any reason why Mr. Fitzsimon should be made an exception to the general rule, when Mr. Murray and the other di rectors were called on to resign. It would be in justice to those gentlemen who had already resigned if Mr. Fizsimon were permitted to remain, 'and he for one should be the first to call on those gentlemen to return to their places if Mr. Fitzsi mon did not follow their example. With regard to the question whether the deputation had the confidence of the Irish shareholders, that would best be shown when it came to a division. The bank itself was firmly seated in the confidence of the shareholders. If Mr. Fitz simon remained, he should call upon Mr. Murray and the others to reconsider their determination, and to return to their posts, for ho thought it desirable if the directors named did not go out as a body, they had better not go out at all. Mr. Ferzsimoat again protested against the cx post facto agitation which had been got up against him. He felt convinced that if the people of Ireland were able to give their personal votes they would never consent that I he should be treated with such injustice. . _ _ Very Rev. Dr. MAGEE expressed the pain he felt al being obliged to bo a party to the demand of this re signation of one so nearly connected with the people of Ireland. However, the deputation had come to that de termination, and they were prepared to go to the vote upon the justice and necessity of the step. Mr. POTTER appealed to Mr. Fitzsimon for the sake of unity—for the sake of the deputation—for the sake of his own valuable and attached friends—not to allow this resolution to go to a division, but to leave the matter in the hands of the deputation, and enable Mr. Spaight to withdraw the resolution altogether. He implored Mr. John O'Connell to urge his iarother-in-law to pursue a wise and prudent course. The personal honour of Mr. Fitzsimon remained untarnished, and he would retire from this bank still admired and respected by every one. Mr. NUGENT said no one in that room was more deeply attached to the O'Connell family, and he had listened with deep regret to the whole of this discussion. He was convinced that the character of his friend Mr. Fitzsimon would stand the test of any inquiry. No one questioned his honour and integrity, and therefore, for the sake of peace, he begged his friend to exceed to the manifest wish of the meeting and retire from office. Mr. FITZSIMON said one of his oldest friends and as honest a man as ever lived had made an appeal to him, which, together with what had been stated by other Hen. Proprietors, he confessed made it most difficult for him to know how to act ; but his character was, at all events, safe, and his principles were acknowledged to be honourable.—(Cheers.) He put himself forward to represent a principle, but principle, however good it might be, was not sufficient to cope with might, coming, as it did, armed with proxies.— (Hear.) Therefore it would be folly for him to perse vere in the course he had taken; but he could not con clude without assuring the proprietors, whom he might never again address, that his sole object was to oppose what he considered to be a most execrable precedent — the passing of an ex post facto law, which he nor any other director could ever have dreamt of.—(flear.) But he would say no more, believing that to dwell further on what the meeting badalready decided would excite acri mony and ill -feeling, and injure the prosperity of the bank, which he was anxious at all times to promote. The iiON. GENTLEMAN then said be would to-morrow hand in his resignation to the Court of Directors, where upon the resolution was withdrawn. The CHAIRMAN thought Mr. Fitzsimon was right in standing up in defence of a principle, and also that he had taken a judicious course in resigning off ice ; he would leave the bank with the same character he b ro ught into it—that of uprightness, impartiality, quiet independence. — (Hear.) Mr. POTTER said he would, for the and satisfaction of the meeting. reed the resolutions which were come to by the deputation, and also the motion which he intended to found upon them : The five directors having now severally resigned their offices, and the deputati on h av i ng b een f u rnished with the fullest information respecting the affairs of the bank, this meeting is satisfied that no stain attaches to their conduct, or improper motive can be attributed to them as its administrators, during the period they have held office as directors." Mr. L. MURRAY then rose and said—Mr. Chairman eAd Bentimun, I * e y e , thug iteing, lag otbet Z 1 17 tion before you, and that ay be in order, I • my discourse by moving vote of thanks to the chair. No one could more than myself regret the necessity of any allusion to personal topics; but my object is to clear up various imputations which have been cast upon me by the circular letters which had been extensively is- sued.—(Hear.) Mr. GARTLAND rose to order, and urged that as all personal matters had been cast on one side, it would be better not to allude to them. Mr. MURRAY said no one could imagine for a mo ment that it was by any means his intention to injare the bank. The measure which he had taken that morning was against his own conviction as to the ultimate advan tage to the bank; but— Mr. HUTCHESON interrupted. He did not understand that there was any accusation against any of the retiring directors; and as to the circulars he did not perceive that any one there had anything to do with them. Mr. MURRAY—I had thought that in a meetiug of Irishmen, and being personally known to a great number in the room, I should have been allowed, distasteful and even painful as it might have been, to have gone over the calumnies that have been brought forward to the detriment of my character. I feel quite at a loss to conceive why that hearing should be denied to me, even upon the ground of form, who have taken so prominent a part in this very room in all the measures of the bank since its first commencement. I can safely say, laying my band upon my heart, that there is not one act during my official connexion with which I have to reproach myself. That I have done many things which have tended to the ultimate advantage of the bank every one in this room can testify. I have had many difficulties to contend with —very few men have had more to deal with—in the direction of a public c enpany. I have frequently stood alone in my judgment upon measures until I and my views were afterwards considered to be right. Therefore I think there should be some deference to my feelings in consideration to my acknowledged services, because I intended to go over in a succinct manner all the allegations which have been brought against me and against the bank; for, although you have satisfied yours-elves above stairs upon the most ample informa tion, yet I consider the public should know the grounds of your satisfaction with the state of the bank; but I have been stopped in limine by your declaration that you do not consider them worthy of your attention and as I understand you, therefore, to say that you have gone into the marrow of the subject—the conduct of the bank—and found that no stigma can rest upon the character of those gentlemen who have, in obedience to a rule laid down by you, retired from it. I was con scious from the first that any investigation that might be made here with regard Ito my conduct or that of the di rectors generally, it could lead but to the result you have arrired at. If lam to be stopped in this way, I certainly must bow to the decision of the meeting. lam sorry to enter into any discussion of this subject now, but I had hoped to be allowed to answer these charges in the first instance, as I thought it necessary for the vindication of my own character. If, however, the meeting chooses to stop me in the manner it has done, and is satisfied there is no necessity for it, of course I have no other redress, as I should be sorry to force an address upon the meeting which would not be agreeable to it. I have also bowed to the sentiment expressed on Saturday night, that if any director was under a pecu niary obligation to tho bank, it was impolitic for such director to continue in the direction. I bowed to that decision, although I did not entirely agree with its justness or the aptness of its application in my own instance. As regards the sum which I have borrowed from the bank, the ameunt is considerably less than the value of the security, and I never should have brought my business here at the time when I had occassion for a loan of money, nor was any dissent expressed at the last annual meeting when the subject was mentioned, had it noti been for a peculiar proviso in a clause of our bank deed, which rendered the security, though a good one to the bank, invalid to any other person, by reason of the forfeiture contained therein. If that proviso in the deed of settlement is rescinded, the security is at once marketable, and the money due to the bank, and much more, can be repaid in an hour. A friend had offerred this morning to advance me the money, but I re fused his offer, because I felt a great storm had been raised for purposes which you will more clearly see hereafter, as they develope themselves, and which it will be my duty to watch; and much of it has been directed against me because I stood in the way, and because it has been supposed that I had taken such a prominent part in the administration of the affairs of the bank—that I had such an overwhelming force and influence in its manege ment, that other gentlemen felt it to be :difficult to bear with it, or act with me; and, therefore, that con sideration induced me to retire, and not a feeling that I had done anything wrong or improper while T had taken part in the administration of the bank's affairs, or exer cised such pretended influence from my consciousness that I used it unfairly. My resignation I have agreed to tender, in deference to the opinion of the committee up-stairs, that no director should be indebted to the bank in any sum, however small or well secured. I bow with deference toe' Abet opinion, however inconvenient or in vidioug' it may be, but still I bow to the opinion of the greeting up stairs. Charges have been brought against me, but throutt deference to what has been done by the committee up stairs, who have investigated the bank's affairs, I have passed them by. The position in which I wish to place myself now is this : I have felt it pru dent to give way, because in any moi•ereent which may be made for the benefit of the bank hereafter, peace aid oraietness to the bank is the first object to be secured. —(Hear, hear, arid cheers.) Whatever may here after be designed for its advantage, and for its ultimate security and prosperity, you will always find mo ready to help or guide, in order to place this institution in the position which it is entitled to occupy, high as it may be now; for I believe every man has admitted to. day that its standing is unquestionable. Some kind of distrust had been instilled into the minds of proprietors thst the bank might have a bet ter direction, but an investigation has proved that you cannot allege any incompetency on the part of the di rectors. I believe without vanity I may say that most gentlemen in the room have some little confidence in say capacity, and I feel quite certain from the expression of confidence I have received from gentlemen with whom I have communicated, that had I stood on my conviction and not listened to my judgment on this occasion, and demanded a ballot on the statement I was prepared to make, I do not think I should have been left in a mino rity notwithstanding what my Rev. Friend may say to the contrary; but what I have done is to show youthstl am willing to sacrifice my own convictions and all other considerations for the sake of the interests involved. As regards myself individually, for me to retire from the direction of the bank is a relief, because the time I have lost in its management for a meagre payment of an at tendance fee, considering the value of time in London, has certainly been no compensation to me. There are other institutions, of which I have a great share in their direction, which certainly have suffered in conse quence of the incessant attendance which I have given hero, and as they, like the bank, hays been . attacked, but which your verdict has Ilea: of all imputation, I came here to-day prepared, if you had allowed me, to show they have b.-en mcst unjustly at tacked, and seemingly for no other purpose but that of casting personal odium upon myself ; but though you have not thought it necessary to hear me on their behalf, it is some satisfaction to know that they are quite capa ble of defending themselves. Notwithstanding, I am happy to say that I enjoy the confidence of the propri etors of those institutions; and lam glad, also, to feel that I also enjoy the cJnfidence of so large a number of influential proprietors of this bank, and whatever course may be followed hereafter—whatever may to dune, the Irish shareholders will find me generally coinciding in their views. It the bank had been in tact carried out as it was at first designed, and as it now is at Clonmel and Carrick-on-Suir, it would now have been paying a much larger dividend, and the stock borne a higher value in the market. Gentlemen, I will not detain you any longer than to say that the act which I have today done will place me in a better position to serve you than if I was at this board, which I leave without regret on my own account, and without a single personal feeling against any of its mem bers, because I can now stand outside and watch its deve lopement, and help to resist dangerous influences, should they arise, having at the same time forbearance for those who are charged with the management of a great insti • tuiton. The following resolution was then moved by the Hon. and Rev. 11. E. Cholmondeley, seconded by John Greene, Esq., and resolved unanimously: — " That the warmest thanks of the proprietors are due, and aro hereby given, to the Very Rev. Dr. Magee, for originating the requisition of this meeting, which has terminated, after a minute and patient inquiry, in de monstrating the prosperous character of the institution, and for the pains and solicitude which he has exhibited throughout the sittings of the committee."

Siit,—My attention having been called to an adver tisement in the Times of the 22d instant, being a letter addressed to the editor by Lord Ward, in which he states that, a p t to a n meetingnailzay Con3ranY' of the Oxford , Worcester, an d on the 20th ult., he denied the ch arge de manded an appropriatirionmado against hi m of having of 5,000 preference share s in that the company ; I feel it due to myself at once to declare that Lord Ward did not at that meeting deny, nor has he, so far as I am aware till now, attempted to den y the stateme nt which I t h en w ade, nor did his solicitor, who was pre sent at the meeting, and through whom I stated that the demand for the shares, on the part of Lord Ward, had been made, utter one word in denial or explanation. Lord Ward's proceeding leaves me no alternative but to add, that I rep Pat what I then said, viz., that Lord Ward, when chairman of the company, demanded an ap propriation to himself, at par, of 5,000 preference shares then at a premium, as one of the necessary preliminaries to his consideration of the arrangement proposed with the London and North-Western and Midland Companies. This statement I shall be prepared at any time to estab lish.—l am, Sir, yours, &c., _ __ _ . S. MORTON PETO. 47, Russell-cquare, March 24, 1851.

EQUITABLE FIRE OFF ICE. Premium Capital-500,00 01 . (Inc orporated under 7 and S Viet. , cap. 110.) The leading principles of thi s Offi ce ttra —bloderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of The difficulty of collecting the elem e nts on which to proportion Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fi re has been so great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. It has been tonne' by experience, that the total annual losses of the different Established Companies h ave not been pro portionate to t he am ount of annual Premiums received by each. It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be up" oroached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted on, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by sup porting a system where, by a careful combinati on o f Classifica tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to tine, adopt such rates of Premium its the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investigation will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or flay per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers where Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of property on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Av erage Clause.

(svafty MONDAY AND WED NESDAY. ) Sir,—After two nigh tsmore debat e , t h e Bill i s rea d a second time by a majority of 438 to 95. The majority is the best thing about the whole. I t s h ows t h e exist ence of a deep and extensive feeling; though it cannot be said to have well fought up its cause. Th ere was throughout a great shrinking from going to the root of the matter. Things were contested under wrong names, and without the true names being given in reply. An uninstructed hearer might have imagined, that the con test was purely about the use of th e word " bi shop, "— that the Ministers had origi nated a mo vemen t i n oppo sition to the great operation of 1829 w i thout anything having occurred in the interval to ma k e a difference,— that the Pope was a Methodist preacher sitting in Con ference alternately at Leeds and at Bristol,—that Miss Talbot is and is not a postulant?—that our safety is in the altered tone of the Catholic mind, and that the Catholic mind has never altered and never can. Possibly the Catholic representatives made a point of honour of putting on the worst face i ns t ead of the best; but on hearing their point-blank avowals of sympathy with everything despotic in Europe, th e i r unalloyed de clarations of belief that Order is the submission of poli tical arrangements everywhere to the fiat of the Vatican, it is frightful to think what an element we have ad mitted into the regulation of public affairs, made more fearful by the evidence that what call s i tself the Liberal party in Parliament is, with only individual exceptions, willing to play into the hands of t h e new power, for the chance of arriving at a political position as the result. A French statesman, after the resto ration of the Bourbons, said the word Legitimacy would lead to as many dangers as ever the word Liberty had done. Order is the watchword now, an d in England at least we have warning of what the watchword means or would mean. If opportunity arose, it would mean the repeal of the Reform Bill, the substi tut i on o f the pseu do-Westminster, and the investiture of the Queen by the authority of the Pope, unless some Charles Sobieski were believed the snore useful car d to play. It may be that the danger is less froth th e d isease being apparent than concealed. It is clear that with such a sore in the constitution, England must use more liberal diet, and take more exorcise at home and abroad. We aro on the ground trodden by our forefathers, ex cept that the time-serving Penn appears to be in the ascendant rather than the sturdy Bunyan. The subject is not to be . taken up agai n t ill a ft er Easter. he that there is time for the public to turn it over in their minds. There would be no great risk in saying, that they are on the whole quite as competent to judge of it as their representatives. I am, Sir, yours very sincerely, AN OLD REFORMER.
