The obj ect of the Company is for the transaction of all Banking business at SYDNEY, LAUNCESTON, ADE LAID L'' , PORT PHILIP, and such other pl aces as the Di rectors may deem advisable ; and it is intended to apply, as far as possible, the system which has proved so successful in Scot land. . The ext raor di nary progress w hi c h th e Australasian Colonies have made within the last few years, the continued flow of emi gration towards them, together with the high value of money there, call for an increased number of establishments of this de scription, and the prosperous condition of the Banks already in operation is a sufficient guarantee that under prudent manage meat this Inve s t m ent mus t prove a most profitable and secure one to the Shar e hold ers , as hi g h ra t es o f i nterest are obtained with perfect security in a country where, from well ascertained data, Capital is improving at rates varying from 50 to 75 per cent. per annum. The following Extract from the Official Share List of February 4th, 1840, shows the present value of Stock in Two of the Australasian Banks formed in London : Original Share Paid up. Present Price Bank of Australasia ...£40... £4O 0 £57 10 Ditto (new Shares) ...... 40 ... .. 10 0 l7 10 Union Bank of Australia 1 25 l7 10 25 10 (established in 1838) f Nor can the prosperity of Banking operations connected with those Colonies be better illustrated than by reference to the satisfactory Report of the Directors of the Union Bank of Australia, presented to the Proprietors at their General Meet ing, on the 3d of February, and by the following extract from the Rev. Henry Carmichael's Pamphlet on New South Wales, wherein he observes—" There are at present in Sydney three Joint Stock Banking Companies in operation, with a paid-up capital of abut 80,000/. each ; which divide a profit r•nnually of from 20 to 25 per cent. His Excellency Sir James Stirling also, in his recent work on Western Australia, says, in allusion to the Western Bank of Australia, " The second half-year left a clear profit over the expenditure of 14 and a half per cent., which, after setting aside one-fifth as an accumulating fund, according to an existing rule, enabled the Directors to declare a dividend of 11 and a half per cent. on the paid-up capital ;at the close of the year no dishonoured bill remaining on hand, nor had the Solicitor of the Bank to commence a single suit for the recovery of a debt due to it." The Directors have for some time been making arrangements for immediately carrying into effect the objects of the Com pany; and in ordert o advance the influence of the Bank in the Colonies they have reserved a portion of the shares for distri bution there. . As the principal part of the business must necessarily be ! le d on o n in the Colonies, it has been thought inexpedient to have a nu merous B oar d o f Directors in London : it has there forei been determined that the number shall not at any time exceed ten ; but to secure the prudent administration of the affairs of the Bank, a complete system of superintendence is now bein g organ i ze d b y th e Directors for the Establishments in the Colonies. ~.A sufficient capital has already been subscribedto enable the 9rectors to commence business immediately. They have therefore resolved, in order to avoid the inconvenience which has been found to arise in other undertakings from an unre stricted application of shares, and to induce only those to apply who wish to become bona fide proprietors, not to entertain any application unless made in the printed forms provided by them fur that purpose, and accompanied by a payment of 2/. upon each share applied for, the Directors reserving to themselves, at the time of appropriation, the right to reject or comply with such application, either in whole or in part, the money to be returned if the application be rejected, and to be placed to the credit of the party in respect of the shares allotted to him if accepted. For the guidance of those who may wish to become proprie • tors, it may be mentioned, that it is not in contemplation to • call up more than 10/. per share for the next twelve months. The Director s have postponed filling up the London Board to the full number of ten, in order to give them the opportunity of selecting influential proprietors, whose assistance and co operation they may think it advisable to secure for the interests of the concern ; power is reserved to them for that purpose, and they are also authorized to complete all other arrangements necessary for putting the Company into immediate operation. lApplication for shares, in accordance with the printed form, to be made to Messrs. 130yd,4 , Nei Bank Buildings, Lothbury, London .....1 ••••• 4i- •••• -.--- „ Me'''.

Sir,—Having put you in possession of the means to prepare a Brandy superior in quality to the samples set aside by you for reference, and performed faithfully in every respect my agree ments with you, 1 now venture to ask whether you have kept with equal_ fidelity and truth your written engagements with me. Have you not, on the contrary,'without any reason, or the slightest plea of justice, disregarded 'your bonds, and departed from almost every one of them? While relying on your nume rous professions of honour, and contenting myself with claims by no means adequate to my deserts in this business, in expec talion of future success, how has it happened that when the af fairs at Albany-street, Regent's-park, had assumed a prosperous form under my skill and exertions, that you should have with drawn from the payments a warded to me, and departed so ma terially from your contracts? Do you suppose that, while en joying the benefits derived from my discoveries, y ou can play fast and loose with these obj ects, and, while using my p rocesses and matters for your own advantage so liberally, that it can be allowable that the " considerations" for which they were granted should be withheld from met For fear you may have forotten any o , f , the docu men t s s i gne d by you in my favour , I annex a copy f one of th em " at this time for yourre - peru sal, the "original" of which, lassure you has not been destroyed , an d to which I call your serious attention. A " gentleman of your reputed honour, deriving such great benefits from me, can never surely hope to shelter himself from his payments under the p r ocrastinations of a Court of Equity, or seek protection i n the supposed unwillingness I may entertain aga i ns t entering upon su ch expensive proceedings, in a cause which no Court of Law in any country on this side of Kam schatka would support or entertain for a single mo men t. Sub mitting your own document for your consideration, I am, Sir, yours, &c., 6th March, 1840. D. HOME. AGREEMENT BETWEEN SIR F. HOME. BOOTH, BART. AND MR.

It is so simple in its use, that any labourer can lay it on. To ship-owners for their decks, bottoms of ves sels, &c., it will be shown, as well as to the public, to be supe rior to any paint in use, by testimonials of its lasting fourteen years on wood and houses, twenty years on iron (see the South wark-bridge).

THE Medical Effects of Steel, as a strength ener and restorative, have been known for ages to excel those of all other articles of the Materia Medic; and in this age of *uxury and dissipation, when the indiscretions of youth disappoint the ex_ pectations of maturity, it is not to be wondered that a medicine of such etlimcy rea SEDDON'S genuine AftOINIATIC LOZENGES of STEEL, should have attracted the attebtion of the firs , . medi. cal men in Europe. When the most important functions of life are suspended, and those who are invalids by inheritance or imorudence are reduced to the mo-t deplorable state of nervous debility, is is not in despair that relief is to Ire fourd. It has been ascertained, beyond a doubt, that these circumstances are occasioned by a gene ral or partial relaxation or weaknesses in either sex; and it is equally certain that SEDI)ON'S LOZENGES arc the best, it not the only remedy ever discovered for this species of debility. When taken into the stomach, they imr ediately difllise themselves like a vapour through every pore, producing cheers at once delight ful, salut,try, and permanent. When the spark ollife begins to grow dim, the circulation lan uld, and the faculties catalysed, these Lo appetite, the delicatean d pa I f ! 0 1 ,I nR c a o l e u n w t i e l - 1 ze nges are found to give tone to the nerves , exhilirite the animal spirits, invigorate the body, and re-animate the whole man.

The general use of the pen in literary exercises, is so impor tant an auxiliary in the work of a good education, that it has long been desired that the mere mechanical art of writing could be rendered easy of acquirement. These books are found to effect this object completely, and to save incalculable time and labour. 1111 Taught on this plan, pupils do not fall into any habits which they have to unlearn ; their progress is uniformly onward, while teachers, being powerfully assisted in all the details at the pen's point, have more ample opportunities of superintend n the right position of the pupil , a nd the p ro p er holding of 1 o the pen. Even adults, whose education has been neglected, ! may easily learn to write by the help of these books. The ex perience to be derived from the use of a single set of the present series, will afford satisfactory evidence of the utility of the system. For a review of the books see " The Sun" newspaper of De cember 26.1839. M Professional Opinion.—r.

The Morning Chronicle observer, with reference to the Spitalfields silk weavers :—" The silk weavers of Eng- ' land are entitled to demand the exclusion of all foreign wrought silks from this country, so long as a single English weaver is unable to secure the fullest employment, at a 601 rate of a ages. The silk weavers are, we repeat, en titled to such a measure of protection, for reasons that are very obvious—for reasons of the highest policy. It is the inserest of the State that all the labourers in the com munity shote.d be fully omployed."—The Morning Ad verliser, alluding to Lord J. Russell's statement in the Commons last night, on the subject of China, says--" So far as can be expressed in general terms, this ez - planation is full and satisfactory, and not only those immediately concerned irr the trade, but all having at heart the welfare and honour of Great Britain, must rejoice to perceive the Government—despising the cla mour of faction, and the cant of hypocrisy—thus deter mined sternly to discharge the high responsibility which circumstances have imposed upon it."—The Times thus expresses itself on the subject of the bastardy clauses in the new Poor-law Bill :—" This is precisely the provision of the Act against which, as it appears to us, no person of the least humanity or reflection cut fail to entertain the most inveterate and unchangeable dislike.!,—TheMorning Chronicle remarks, in a leading article on the Corn-laws : " The new Poor-law, argues the Standard, has utterly failed ; it has not rendered the labourer independent ; it has not enabled the manufacturer to hold on a steady course of production ; it has not secured the farmer and the land lord. And how should it—we ask in return, or hew should ` r itny thing else produce such results—while the labourer is robbed by the Corn-laws of a third of his earnings ; while those laws shut out the manufacturer from the continental market; and they reduce the agriculturist to the chances of a gambling transaction, instead of securing to him the regular returns of honest industry ?" MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. (THURSDAY EVENING.) TIMES.—The discussion at the meeting of Bank proprietors held this morning was protracted to a much greater length than usual, but upon the whole was of a very unprofitable and unsatisfactory character. This is true in a double sense—th It is, as applied both to the proprietors and to the public, which are questions of a totally different nature. There was a rational expecta- tion among the proprietors, because encouraged by the Directors at the time when the last reduction of the dividend took place, that some .amends would be made to them for this sacrifice by the gradual increase of the rest," so as to strengthen the capital of the Bank as the period drew nigh for the renewal of the charter, and this was the case for two dividends, but on the present occasion the Proprietors are told that there is an in crease of the " rest " over last year of only 5,0001. The inference which they must all draw from this, if they reason at all, is, that a further reduction of the divi dend is not far distant. POST.—The English Funds continue to display an upward tendency, as they have done for some days past, though the transactions are still extremely limited.. It was pretty currently reported on 'Change that the Spanish loan contractors have it in contemplation to make a further advance of money to the Madrid. Government, as a means of answering the very pressing demands which are again made upon them by Espartero and others, the guarantee proposed to be given for the reimbursement of the same being a fresh creation of stock as authorised by the law of April, 1838. In the event of non-payment of the sums advanced at the stipulated pe riod—of which non-payment there can be no doubt whatever—the contracting firm are to be at liberty to throw the new security upon the market. To reconcile the holders of the mass of Spanish Stock already in circulation to the fresh concoction, they are amused with a promise of the conversion of the 'arrears of interest due to them into Active Stock. Again, one description of paper is to be substituted for another, as such an operation does not involve a far thing of expense to the Spanish Government beyond that of the material and the printing. The bondholders are not in a situation to help themselves, and to offer an effective resistance to this renewed attack upon their interests. Ministers look supinely on, and the contractors appear to be conscious of no legal impedi ment to the execution of their plans, so that all depends upon the Committee of the Stock Exchange. SUN.—The Tea trade was rather firmer this afternoon, Company's Cungou being at about 2s. sd. per lb. cash. The Funds were without the slthtest alteration after the middle of the day. Consols brought 901 for Money, and 91i for Time. The Foreign Securities were a shade better. Spa nish Active Stock realised 28a to ; Portuguese New Five per Cents., 34i to 1 ; Mexican, 291 ; and Colom bian, 24k. Belgian rose to 104 ; and Dutch Two-and a-llnlf per Cents. were steady at 521. For most of the Railway Shares there was a better market. The Great Western improved to 21 prem., the Birmingham to 65 prem., the New Shares to 192 prem., and the New North Midland to 71 prem. PRICE OF SUGAR. EFFECT OF MONOPOLY. Table showing the ex-duty price of West India Sugar in Mincing-lane, and comparing the same against that o' foreign Sugars : London, March 20, 1840. The Gazette of this evening will quote the average price of British Plantation Muscovado Per Cwt. Sugar, exclusive of duty, at Th actual quantity of West India Sugar sold on ac count of the importers, in the week ending the 17th inst., according to the returns made upon oath by the West India Sugar Brokers, in conformity with the Act of Par liament, and on which quantity the above price is com puted, consisted of 893 hhds. 86 trs. and 6 barrels On Tuesday, 17,288 bags of Manilla Sugar were offered for sale at auction, a few lots only were sold at from 21s. to 235. per cwt., the remaining lots were taken in. The price of this description of Muscovado Sugar may be quoted the same as last week, being 19s. per cwt. cheaper than. West India Sugar. Refined Sugar, the produce of those London Refineries: , which work Foreign Sugars for exportation only, and which& is equal in quality to the double loaf standard, has been sold this week, deducting the charges of shipping, at 32i. 6d- I per cwt., which is Bs. 6d. per cwt. less than the price the British consumer is obliged to pay through the operation of the Sugar monopoly, for duty, and unwholesome moist Sugar imported from our own West India Colonies. West India Treacle, which is admitted duty free for tho benefit, as it is alleged, of the poor mas, has been sold thi: week at 335. 6d. per cwt., which is Is. per cwt. more t.h the value of refined sugar produced from foreign Muscova. does, and is actually 20s. per cwt. more than the price at which he (the poor man) could purchase, if the law per mitted, treacle made in London for foreign markets. During the year 1839 the British nation paid for 3,521,700 cwt. of Sugar, and the duty on it, nearly twelve millions sterling. Had these twelve millions been laid out in the purchase of foreign Sugar, and in the payment of a duty of 245. per cwt. on it, they would have bought 4,798,000 cwt. and the proceeds of the duty would have been 5,757,600 1 . in lieu of 4,226,000/, the amount of duty actually collected, making a difference in favour of the re venue of 1,531,6 00 /. ; an d yet, strange to say. the West Indians possess sufficient influence to maintain their Sugar Monopoly, although that undeserved privilege has ag a i n and again been pr oved to be extremely injurious to the Revenue, and costly to the British consumer.

NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—HuNrnvGnox, MARC,! 1?• Frederick Rees Barratt was indicted for feloniously ant from motives of lucre taking away and detaining eats A;ary i Ellis, against her will, she having an interest in cestein rite and personal estates, with intent to marry and defile, le r ; ant; i Martin Mayle was charged w ith feloniously aiding and Oct- ! Ling him to do and commit that felony. 1 Mr. Andrews and Mr. Byles corellitoel tie- es e. so- th e prosecutrix ; Arr. Sydney Taylor a nd :kis, Gneeisa for the • prisoners, Mr. A.Nuis ewe laid the facts of the ea:;- Cries- ;ee Jtery. The prosecutrix, Mary Ellis, a very handsome e 1.,: iiitellisont girl, is the orphan child of a wealthy farmer, formerly residin s s ; in the neighbourhood of Peterborough. She entered her se ran- , teenth year in January last. In the begiuning of last year -he I was at a respectable boarding-school at Stimferd, kept by r. 1 Ohs. Wilton, where' the prisoner Barratt, who is a y .arse music master, was in the habit of giving lessons in singing,t e i • the young ladies. Miss Ellis was one of his pupils, and it ae- I peered that an ardent attachment sprung up between them : 4 several letters passed between the parties, and vows of raetual attachment were exchanged. The prisoner was introduced to ' her mother, sister, and other members of her fussily ; bet • partly in consequence of his " gaiety," and partly in eecses quence of her extreme youth, his a.;.dresses were not favourable received by them. In duly last she was removed by her mttla;r from the school at Stamford, and sent to one at Somershasa, in this county, kept by one Miss Pocock. Here the prisoner continued to write to the lady, though it appeared they had very j few opportunities of meeting. Toveards the end of Febrisere last Barratt left Stamford for the neighbourhood of Somershaei. i On the 3d instant the y oun g la mes in Miss Pocock's school 1 went out after morning lessons, and were walking arm and arm i n s 4 ranks," according to the prescriptive usage amongst board ing-school misses, when they met th prisoner in a gig driven by the prisoner Mayle, who is the oftler at an inn in Soutere ham. The prosecutrix was leading the ranks with Miss Maria Pocock, a relation of the mistress. The gig no sooner got . within a few yards of the y oun g ladies than it sto pp ed, and ja„_ i sett sprang from it, and In an instant was by the side of Mims ; Ellis. She said to Miss Maria Pocock, "Oh ! here he• is. what shall I do ?' and hardly had the words escaped 'bar, s s when Barratt , saying in a rap id and indistinct manner, " M ary, , my dear, I want you," put his arm round her waist and hurried , her to the gig. She was frightened, but the whole peoceeding t was so sudden and unexpected that she had not time to make i any successful resistance. The prisoner bounded after her into i the gig, and seating himself by h er side (she sittin g in else middle), Mayle drove on towards St. Ives at a very quick passe In the meantime the young lady's late companions were emu flying in all directions, this " eagle in a dove-cute" haying fluttered them in the most unusual and frightful manner. 1 Through the villages of Colne and Bluntisham the ostice 1, drove, Miss Ellis in vain requesting to be set down, and wee- j sionally calling out. In a shorter apace of time than a gig ever before journeyed from Somersham to St. Ives, they reached ti e ' latter town, where Millie got out and left them. Barratt then tot the reins and drove to the Fountain Inn, Huntingdon, where he? , called out lustily for a " chaise on," which did come at hiettotria mand. The young lady was handed by him from the gig, and was shown into a private room, where she sat until the chats} ! which Barratt told her was ordered " for Peterborough:' ; was ready. Some uneasiness was excited in her mind liv ! hearing him ask how far it was to Thrapstone, as she keew that the road that leads to that town leads not to Peterborough, but he assured her that lie was going to the latter city, and she was satisfied. On to Thrapstone and to Wellingborough fisev passed, but she did not at either place request any one to a•d or rescue her. She told him, she said, several times on the road, " that she would never marry him." Ile had a brae,' of pistols with him. They passed through Northampton, and i on to Weedon, the prisoner having asked her to accompany him there, that he might go on by the raitway, and send her back to her brother in the chaise. Whilst they were at We.e- s don her brother came up, and took her back with him to Northampton, the prisoner going to London by the railway, where he was arrested a few days afterwards. Mary Ellis, on her cross-examination by Mr. S. Tateeoa, . said—l first became acquainted with the prisoner three :,..a:s ago, and he subsequently taught me singing at a selmel at e Stamford, kept by a Mrs. Wilton, In the summer of last i year I lost a bet of a pair of white gloves to him, which I rot ,I and offered to him, but he would not take them, saying "there is would be an impropriety in his doin g so, considerin g his po- t sition with the school." His mother soon afterwards canna and I and he joined her at M*. Wikon's dinner *able. In May, 1839, we became engaged, and ie the sunor.er ho. lidays I wrote to him that on account of my youth wr must 4 wait some time, be* vowing an unalterable attachment. •; I afterwards went to the theatre at Stamford with hila anti the ladies of the school. It was to see Monsieur Test„ t, the conjuror. In one part of the exhibition the theatre i was darkened, and he put his arm round my waist, and at- , tempted to kiss me. I did not call out or tellalhe misureee ! of the school. I told some of the young ladies. He after wards came to Peterborough, and was introduced to .my ! relations. On one occasion, at that time, he and I were left I together for an hour. Half of it I was receiving a music lea- , son. During the other half hour we talked of our eneege ment. He said he thought my relations weedd not agree to it, but I said " I thought they would." He gave me a rime* I which I have still. I have never parted with it, not even since this affair. It is in my dressing-one. He told my friends or i our engagement. They did not approve of it, and I told hint f " Whatever may happen, be assured nothing shall ever -sake I my sentiments of affection to you ;" and he replied, " If t'our's lessen, mine never will." This was in a walk by appointment. My sister was with us, but walked on before, leaving us alone. I' I wrote a letter to him, which brought him to Peterborough. During our conversation he toe* my hand, and asked me t: iS i I would offend my friends for his sake ?" I said, " Yes, I would." We used to walk together, and one night he supped at our house, and sang several songs. We agreed ip i -write to each other, but he did not write to me till aftka- 1 he had told my friends of our engagement. I worked and !, sent him a pair of slippers, whic i ts I sent with a letter. I once upbraided him with having paid attentions to another , lady, a Miss Charity. I was jealous of her, and told him w,. I subsequently said to him , " I understand you are going to. t marry Miss Overton." He denied it. A few days before to ; carried me off, I saw him in the streets of Somersham, knet Pointed him oust to a young lady in the school. On the day in *question I walked out with the young ladies. I talked of Ale, I Barrett all the time of our walk, till he came up in the gig. i t I should say for a quarter of an hour. W hen in the gig he I gave me a silk cloak to wrais myself up in. 1 met two 1 gentlemen before reaching Huntingdon, and pulled down my veil. We passed through Coble, St. Ives, and r _Bluntisham, to Huntingdon. I did not request assistance I at either place. He told me he was going to tame one home to my mother, who was ill. At the Fountain at Huntingdon he handed me out of the gig, and I , -went into a private room, where I was left alone. I 1 evade no complaint to anybody, for I thsught I was going to 1 ass y mother. In going-along he drew off my glove, and asked mes e where the ring was that he gave me? I said, " I might not 's -wear it; I was not allowed." I said to him " They'll break i „ man my desk now, and read my letters." My brother lives at Asethampton, and we passed his house in the chaise. I did j :not call out_ At the inn there I got out of the chaise, and he rang the bell; a female servant came in, and showed me into a .bed-room, where I was left alone. I did not attempt to eeeespe. After we passed through Northampton, he said to me, " Marv, -any dear, you look like yourself now. I was in better spirits ; then, and we talked about my old school-fellows and times gone by. When my brother came to us, the prisoner asked ..him to grant us a few minutes for a private interview, eel & ~e 1 earned to a window and left us in another part r its t h e r 30n 1 to ourselves, and we talked together in private for teen. 4 . 0 ; t three minutes. My brother and he drank wine togeler its uiy presence there. He said, " Mary, I hope you will not fix- i ge t me?" I replied, " Oh , no . I ne v er sha l l." Ile aftes- l' e vards kissed me in the room, his arm was round my neck, I i did not call out, or resist, or claim my brother's protection. He i wa g present. The prisoner said, " You will write to nee, i !Mary ?" and I told him " I would," but I did not intend to 'ln t \Vtre shook hands at parting, and he said, " Good Ire, . so. • Mary.' I repeated " Good bye," and we then parted. Wfien we next met, he was in custody on this charge. (The latter . ' -part of the cross-examination produced an extraordigery see ' sation in Court. At the conclusion of the cross-exeonination, which lasted four hours, the lady fainted, and ras carried from Court.) The evidence of some of the young ladies and other persons . who witnessed the transaction on the 3d of March was ntken„ by which it appeared that the prosecutriicalled out and assisted 1, being carried away by the prisoner. In her cross - exam inatiou r s she was asked if she had not told Miss Maria Pocock a few days t before she was carried off that " she would marry hint when , she left school and came off age," which she said " she had no recollection of having said." Miss Pocock, who was called by the Counsel for the prosecution, admitted that she had said so to her about a week before the 3d March. Two letters ft om Miss Ellis were then put in and read. - The., first was what is called the " forced letter , " in which she stated i that their correspondence must cease for ever, and that she I could not live under the displeasure of her relatives.* The other letter was written in a more affectionate style ; but it also I stated distinctly that their correspondence must cease, and that 1 it was her full determination never to marry. The forowing 1 is the postscript to the second letter : P. S. Miss Pocock forced me to send your letter back. I mention this, for perhaps you thought it unkind. Farewell, and may the Almighty ever watch over you!" Mr. S. Tayr.oe. then addressed the Jury for the prisoners. Mr. Baron PARKE directed Mayle to be acquitted, being of opinion that there was no evidence against him to go to the Jury. With respect to Barratt, his Lordship left the Jury to say, first, whether the prosecutrix had satisfied them that - she was a person of property; second, that she was carried away by the prisoner against her will ; thirdly, that his object was to marry her; and fourthly, that he was actuated by the sordid • ti t v b e „ o e f s l u b e c r ul e , u a s n t d s a n t o is t fy by eg tb r em a r o d f a b n e d fo a r ff e ec t t b i e o y n f e o o r u h l d er fi p u e d r h. a m ' . her ru u a t a iv - a e y w ag as am e .u 4:, h a t en his motive of In cre, and not by regard and affection for er per'orm.
