The press of election and other important intelligence compels, us to omit any introductory remarks to this monster ,aquatic meeting. The event was as usual great, in the most extended signification of the word, and .the arrangements, as heretofore, such as to give general t,atisfaction. Two days' sport had on this occas i on b een substituted for three, and there was enough 'n yesterday's, which was the opening - of the regatta, to satiate the most raps ' cious appetite, there being no less than eleven races on the.card. The attendance was as usual very great., The Bishop of London had very kindly thrown open his beautiful grounds on the banks of the Thames, at Fulham, for the accommodation of respectable company, and these, with the towing-path, which extends on the Surrey side the whole length of the course, the bridges, and other parts ,wfiere a .view could be obtained of any part of the races, were thronged with spectators, and the river on the'sides of the course studded with boats con taining.eompimy uf every description. The sport commenced at half-past two and continued until after seven in the evening.

At a General Meeting of the Proprietors, held at the Court-room of the Banking-house, 2, Princes-street, Mansion-house, on WED • NESDAY, the 14th of July, 1847, the following report was read by the Secretary: " The Directors have much pleasure in submitting the Eighth Annual Report of the affairs of the Bank to the Proprietors, and conkratulating them on the result of the business during the last year, a period marked by unusual commercial 'pressure. "It will be seen from the accounts now presented, that:the Net i'rofits of the year amount to 47,598/. Its. 7d. Ample provision has been made for bad debts, and the Proprietors will Observe that 25,1451. Is. 10d. has been paid to customers for interest on their current and deposit accounts. "The Directors consider that they are justified by this prosperous result in increasing the Rate of Dividend, and they have therefore declared a Dividend for the last six months of 3% per Cent., which, with 2% per Cent. paid in January, will make the Dividend 6 per Cent., clear of Income Tax, for the whole year. ThJ. Directors have the fullest confidence that this rate will be permanently maintained, without either trenching on the Reserved Fund, or affecting those principles on which the Bank was originally founded. "After providing for the Dividend (now amounting to 25,3741. for the year). and appropriating 5001. as usual in gradual liquidation of the preliminary expenses, there remains a surplus profit of 21,724/. Ib, 7d., of which 16,696/. ss. sd. has been carried to the Reserved Fund, now amounting to 40,0001. sterling invested in Go vernment ecurities, and the balance of 5,028/. II s. 2d. has been car ried to Profit and Loss New Account. "The. Directors have considered the subject of the appropriation of the reserved shares, and have resolved that they shall be offered in the first instance to the Shareholders only, in rateable proportion to the shares held by them, and on such terms as shall be equiva lent to a liberal bonus; and the Proprietors may rely on the 'Directors giving ample notice of, and selecting such a period for, this appropriation, as shall be most desirable for the interests of the Bank and advantageous to the Proprietors individually." In accordance with the provisions of the Deed of Settlement,,the following Directors retire from office by rotation, viz. : —Peter Laurie, Esq. ; James Farquhar, Esq. ; Williani Petrie Craufard, Esq. ; and Peter Laurie, Esq., and James Farquhar, Esq., being eligible, offer themselves, and are recommended by the Court of Directors for re-election; and the DireCtors have received notice from John Chapman, Esq., of No. 2, Leadenhall- stree,,t 4 ,ft duly qualified Shareholder, of his intention to offer himself as a Candidate for the office of a Director at this meeting. • THE UNION BANK OF LONDON, .10Tn JUNE, 1817.

The annual report of the receipts and disbursements of the Com pany, to the 31st December, 1846, and of the amount of their funds, and also the report prepared by the Auditors of the Company of the accuracy of the accounts of the Company, having been in terms of the Deed of Settlement laid before the meeting and read, they pro ceeded, as required by that deed, to the election of four Directors and one Auditor, in the room of those retiring at the Annual Meeting. The Meeting then elected by ballot, as required by the Deed of Settlement, Mr. D. Q. Henriques, of Woburn-square, to be one of the Directors of the Company, in the room of the late Edward Boyd, Esq. Mr. HENRIQUES being present, declared his acceptance of a seat at the Board, and offered his thanks to the Meeting for the honour they had done him. The report of the receipts and disbursements to the 31st of December, 1846, having, on - the motion of Mr, M. D. LINDO, seconded by Mr. T. CURTIS, been received and approved, Mr. DR CASTRO expressed his gratification and that of the Directors, that they were able to announce a very favourable con tinuation of the successful progress of the Company during the last year, the annual income at the present period amounting to 92,0001., a sum exceeding by 8,000/. their income at the annual meeting last year. The expenditure of the Company during the last ysar was less by 4,0001., than during that which preceded it; so that upon the whole the affairs of the Company were at present in a most flourish ing situation. The returns from the agencies of the Company had been very satisfactory, although at Dublin, Cork, and Glasgow, and other places where fever had been prevalent, very many proposals had necessarily been declined which in ordinary circumstances would have been accepted, the premiums from which would have increased their income. He was glad to be able to repeat the state ment made on former occasions, tNit the number of deaths of those assared since the formation of the Company was greatly less than the number provided for by the well-known tables of the Equitable Society of London. He hoped he might be allowed to ascribe this result to the caution of the Directors, as well as to the caution and discrimination of Mr. Hale Thomson and the other medical officers of the Company. . . . . Mr. DE Ci STAO stated, that the Directors had every reason to anticipate that the division of profits, among those holding Assur ances at the participating rate, and to the Proprietors, on the Ist of January 1848, would be of a favourable character. The declara tion of this division would of course, be made at their next Annual Meeting in July 1844. It was his painful duty to remind the General Meeting of the me lancholy event, which had happened soon after their last Annual Meeting, tri the mouth of August, 1846, the death of their late Re sident Director, Mr. Edward Boyd, of whom it is but justice to state, that it was to his unexampled zeal, and to the extraordinary perse verance 'which distinguished him in the discharge of his duty to _ . _ .--- . - this Company to the last day of his life, that its present high posi tion is mainly owing. The Board have every reason to believe, that in Mr. Lennox Boy d, the son of Mr. Boyd, whom they ap pointed to succeed him, they possess the individual best calculated to fill his place, of long experience in the business of the Company, well acquainted with the duties required of him, and most anxious to promote its interest. Mr. STUART was, he said, sure that the meeting, after what they had heard, would agree with him in approving the rotation, esta blished by the deed of settlement, in the retirement and electioa of the Directors of the Company, which had to-day, at their Annual Meeting, placed in the chair Mr. De Castro, who is so thoroughly well informed in their affairs. His explanation of the progress . f the Company, during the last year, had been so clear and satisfactory as really to have lett bins, who had hitherto at every annual meeting addressed a few words to them, nothing to say. He could not, how sinHeeavthieegir beenl stmeheeeteint. ever, take his seat again without joining their worthy Chairman in rector from its commencement i g n i sustained his deep regret on account of the lamented loss they had n p a n o o y n , e W h h a i d eh e e o e s u se ld -sc h d jet be h t a t ve be h bar. e o 3 f learri gchi ßoyd, 7ll 834 Proprietors,t t o h t e h sounderpresenta d oaf day Di rector Company. Mr. Boyd's indefatigable eroartunities of being acquainted with exertions to form and establish the Com n surpassed, and which, without all doubt, led to its present prosperity, He was devoted to the Company and to its establishment and success to the day of his death. Many of those present must recollect his being carried to the table at the last annual meeting, although suffering under acute illness without e any hopes o reco very , and taking a share in the business of the day, but a very few weeks before his decease. Fortunately for the Company, his son, Mr. Lennox Boyd, who was first, Se cretary,givehis f a a n t d her aft hi e ost aids one of the Directors had been able to userul assistance during aware of the experience The Directors, fully nhalgserinetfimthaeter acquaintanceeinpaiiy;h he his hadlon long thusiß indisposition. la3B a o n r el m e a t una nimously appointed hi the detail" the acquired, m t o succeed his faille office, andr. as Resident Director in his presence, he was hound thoug}s speaking under restraint and the [shinty which hetoadd, that Mr. Lennox Boyd's assi duity,justified the appointment.

He could not appeal to better evidence thatiten the not suffered from being committed to hi m , than i ma nagement has fact, vouched by the books , that in the last six mouths, by this January to 30th June, 1847, the amount of llCNVinCinths ' fr om I st aur greater by 51,513 1 ., and the relative amount of premiumss sa.,nces w as 2,7501., than its the same per od from Ist Janu ary to 30th j freater by i the sums assured in the s ix m o nt a in 1846 being 145,2341., ti e e i ,4 846 ; pre miums 4,6361., and in the same six months in 1847, 196 74 , ‘-/ . and 7,3861. Mr. STUART added, that it was also very agreeable to him to men tion, that he heard, in all quarters, from those who had to transact business at their office, of the courtesy and attention shown them, and of the dispatch they met with; and that he was himself a daily witness of the regularity and correctness wi;h which the office itself is conducted and superintended. Mr. LENNox BOYD felt it to be his duty , afte r wh a t had been said, to assure the Meting of his earnest desire to contribute, in every way in his poxer, to the promotion of the interests of the Company : and requested them to believe that he would give the most scrupu lous attention to the management of the Establishment. The CHAIRMAN having expressed his readiness to afford any infor mationor explanation respecting the Company's affairs not commu nicated in the statements and documents laid beforei nsured the M on eeting, Mr. Si. D. LINDo inquired, whether a party, aving the participating scale, alive on Ist January, 1848, but dying before the next declaration of profits in July 1848, woul' participate in the next division ? Mr. Da CASTRO inswered the quest'on in the affirmative, provision being made for all alive on Ist January, 1848, although the declaration of the amount of profits to be divided is not to be made in terms of the Deed of settlement until the following month of July. - Mr. J. G. HENRIQUEs also inquired, whether the Bonus to Pro prietors would he paid in cash, or added, as an increase, to the value of their shares? Mr. DE CASTRO referred to the 68th Article of the Deed of Settlement, which expressly declared, that the Bonus is to he itpp •opriated for the benefit of the Proptietors according to the amount of their shares, and as an increase in the vale , of their shares, and ta carry interest at 4 per cent., so that there could be no payment of the Bonus itself in cash. The thanks of the Meeeting were afterwards, on the motion of Mr. IL D. LIND°, seconded by Mr. J. G. HENRIQUES, unanimously offered to the Directors for their great zeal and attention In the management of the affairs of the Company; and on the motion of Mr. LINDO, secondedby Mr. J.W. SUTHERLAND, the thanks of the Meeting were also unanimously voted to Mr. LE CAsTiso for his able conduct in the chair. 5,028 11 2 £47;98 - 6 7 P :, I The Directors, in placing before the "Proprietors the Seventh An nual Statement, have much ileasure in congratulating them on the continued prosperity orthe Company, notwlthstandln; 'the depressed st 're of commercial and monetary affairs dur ng the past quarter. By the accompanying balance-sheet it will be seen, that after writing of all bad and.doubtful debts, and paying the charges and current expenses of the past year, the net profits amount to 13,8781. 2s. 10d. Out of these profits a dividend, at the rate of six per cent. per annum, for the half year ending 31st December, 1846, has been already paid ; and the Directors have no the satisfaction of de claring a div Bend for the halt year ending 30th June, 1847, at the same rate, and, as usual, free from income-tax. After paying this Dividend, and 'allowitig for rebate of Interest upon Current Bills, there will remain the sum of 4,4731. 19s. 7d., to be added to the Reserve Fund, increasing that Fund, with the addi tions made during the year, to 14,8251.58.

The object of this Association is totally to abolish the use of climbing.boys, who, notwithstanding the penalties to which those employing them are subjected by the 3d and 4th Victoria, cap. 85, are continually resorted to. This breach of the law is acquiesced in by a large portion of the public, from a conviction of the utter im possitility in innumerable cases of cleansing a chimney or flue with the old machine. For the laudable purpose of Authering the objects of the law by avoiding all necessity for its infringement, the inge nious and effective Ramoneur machine has been invented. This invention consists of four brushes forming a square head, which by means of elastic springs contracts or expands, according to the small or extended space in which the machine moves, thereby creating an even pressure on all four sides of a chimney, The rods attached to this head or brush are supplied at intervals with, universal spring joints, capable of turning even a right angls and the whole is surmounted with a double revolving ball, having also a universal spring joint, which leads the brush with certainty past every angle, and into every corner, cleansing its route most perfectly. ' The capabilities of this machine are best demonstrated by the fact, that it is exclusively used in. the Government and numerous public offices, while the patronage bestowed by a large number of the nobility and gentry in continuing their annual con tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well as of the philanthropic views of the projectors. Detailed prospectuses may be obtained, and a working model of the machine seen, at the offices of the solicitor, F, Dolman, Esq., 39, Jermyn-street, St James's ; at Messrs. Barry and Co.'s. brokers, 7, Birchin-lane ; at W. Heath, Esq.'s, gag's Head-court, Gracechurch-street; and at the principal office, 1, Wellington•street, London-bridge, Borough, where applications for sheires may be addressed.

Were 'we. to estimate it by the fitiraber of races, the last day might he set down as the b - est of the four ; in ,the importance of the stakes, c'ver, it bore no com parison to either of the preceding days, and the attend ance, as might have been expected, was thin. Of the ten races that actually " came off," the 300 Soy. Stakes alone excited any interest beyond the moment. Surplice, of course, was a great favourite, and, after alarming his supporters by a little restiveness on being mounted, he went quietly to the post, made his own running, and - wbn in a canter. We did not hear any-bekkail abOut him for the Derby after the race, but 14 to 1 would ImA s been taken. The Nassau Stakes and the ChesterP.eld C'ip led to some lively betting, and came off in fa.vour of 4ho " fielders.' The March Stakes, in two claSses a challenge, brought a long and good day's racing to a close, but not un til cons id era bl y b eyond the proper tie, the gentlemen jocks having taken it very coolly, for which they were one and air fined ; the fines to go; to the Bentinck Provident Fund. On referring to the re turns of the meeting, it, will be found that the general results agree pretty nearly with the opinions advanced in our preliminary notice in Tuesday's paper. Most of the fields were small, and the betting, except on the great day, very c limited. The sport, however, was good, and the gross amount netted by the various winners was 23,0001., exceeding our estimate by at least 1,0001.; the judging and ,atarting were unexceptionable, and time, considering the short interval allowed between the rages,_ and the distance from the Stand to some of the starting posts, exceedingly well kept ; of course we speak with out reference to the amateur races. We cannot conclude without tendering our acknow ledgments for the accommodation provided for the re porters; the spaceappropriated to their use fully answered ill that could have been intended or required, and made heir duties easy and pleasant. We understand that the Duke of Bedford and the Earl of Strathmore have ac, cepted the stewardship for : 1,848, and that the subss4p 7. ,ions aie going on most favourably. Match...so, h ft.
