PRESENT : Sir'PETER LAURIE, Alderman, Governor, in thChair. ANDREW SPOTTISWOODE. Esq., Deputy GovTrnor. • DIRECTORS. George Webster, Esq. Archibald Cockburn, Esq. Johndiarnes, Esq. Peter Laurie, Esq. J. W. Sutherland, Esq. John Connell, Esq. James F;trquhar, Esq. William Morley, Esq. W. M. Nurse, Esq. Charles Lyall, Esq. And Ninety•two Proprietors. -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 congratulating 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 Profits of the year amount to 47,5931. 16s. 7d. Ample provision has been made for bad debts, and the Proprietor* will observe that 25,145/. Is. 10{1. 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. The Directors have the fullest confidence that this rate will be permanently maintained, witheut 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 25,374/. for the year), and appropriating 5001. as usual in gradual liquidation of the preliminary expenses, there remains a surplus profit of 21,7241. 16*. 7d., of which 16,696/.

UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, No. 8, WATERLOO-PLACE, PALL-MALL, LONDON, THE SEVENTH GENERAL MEETING OF PROPRIETORS. The Meeting of the Shareholders was held in the Office of the Company, No. 8, Waterloo-place, London, on Friday, the 9th July, 1847. lIANANEL DE CASTRO, Esq., Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors, in the Chair. 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 thatdeed, 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. Hesereues 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, 1446, having, on the motion of Mr. M. 1). LINDo, seconded by Mr. T. CURTIS, been received and approved, Mr. DE CAiTRO expressed his gratification and that of the con tinuation of the successful p ro g ress of the Company during the last Directors, that they were ab le to announce a very favourable year, the annual incense at the present period amounting to 92,0001., a sum exceeding by 8,0001. their income at the annual meeting last year. The expenditure of the Company during the last year was less by 4,0001; than during that which preceded it; so that upon the whole the affrs of the Company were at present in a most flourish go situation. ai 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 p revalent, very many pr proposals had necessarily been declined which in ordinary circumsta 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, that the number of deaths of those assured 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. Ile 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 CASTRO 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 1848. It was his painful duty to remind the General Meeting of the me lancholy event, which had happened soon after their last Annual Meeting, in the month 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 Bo} d, the son of Mr. Boyd, whom they ap pointed to succeed him, they possess the individual best calculated to 1111 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 applibving the rotation, esta blished by the deed of settlement, in the retirement and election 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. Ills explanation of the progress 4 the Company, during the last year, had been so clear and satisfactory as really to have left him, who had hitherto at every annual meeting addressed a few words to them, nothing to say. He could not, how ever, take his seat again without joining their worthy Chairman in expressing his deep regret on account of the lamented loss they had sustained since their last meeting, of Mr. Boyd, the founder of the Company. Having been one of the original Proprietors, and a Di rector from its commencement in March, 1034, to the present day, no one had !Assessed better opportunities of being acquainted with Mr. Boyd's indefatigable exertions to form and establish the Com pany, which could not have been surpassed, and which, without all doubt, led to its present prosperity. lie 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 unifier acute illness without any hopes or recovery; 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, le 1838, Se cretary, and afterwards one of the Directors had been able to give his father most useful assistance during his long indisposition.

TIMES.—Our reports of the proceedings in the courts of criminal jurisdiction throughout the country have for some time past presented a frightful cata logue of atrocities, evincing: a spirit- of savage bru tality as alarming as it is unaccountable. 'The in crease of education has brought no . diminution of those barbarous outrages on the person thdt might natu rally have been referred to a state of ignorance, and the humane tendency of modern legislation, or rather of modern jurisdiction, has experienced no encourage ment. Murder and - manslaughter, under some of their most appalling forms, have occupied the tribunals during the last few weeks, and while in many cases justice has totally failed, in others the punishment the law has inflicted has been undeniably. inadequate to the enormity of the offences. • During the two first days of the present week our paper centained- a 4uo cession of trials and investigatiphs relating to eeveral acts of cold ; blooded ferocity committed in different part s of the country by persons of unequal stations in life and" various degrees of intelligence. It is evident, therefore, that the brutality and bloodthirstiness that seem to prevail are limited to no single class, and confined within no_ particular locality.. Though the Learned Judge who passed sentence in one of the recent stabbing cases at Liverpool 'commented on -the brutal mode of -conducting quarrels for which the county in which he sat is notoridusi he was scarcely justified in the special application of his censure, when nearly every county in which assizes have been held has beetidiAgraced by some such event as the one that had occasioned his indignant observa tions. At the opening of the session of the Central Criminal Court on Monday, the Recorder alluded to the very great increase of offences against the person, and the inadectry of the law as at pre sent administered to repress them. Five charges ! of murder and three of manslaughter stood for trial in the present session, and even while the Re corder was delivering his charge to the grand jury four of the police magistrates of the metropolis were engaged at their respective courts in hearing cases of stabbing, cutting, and wounding, and outrageous vio lence.. There were three committals to Newgate during the day on precisely such charges as those in which the Recorder had noticed a very great increase, and for the repression of which he had declared the law ill-adapted since it had been made more merciful. We can scarcely wonder that those wretches whom nothing but the dread of punishment can restrain from crime should give full indulgence to their vio lent passions, when it seems to be the policy of the criminal tribunals to aid the escape of guilt, or on its conviction show towards it the most extreme lenity. Our paper of Monday contains a mass of intelli gence from the Northern and Western Circuits, in which the abuses we have frequently complained of are strikingly exhibited. Of all the cases recorded, however, perhaps, the most remarkable is the sentence of 18 months' imprisonment upon a brute who, after having seduced a poor girl, had caused her death by breaking three of her ribs in an attack of the most cowardly and savage description. She had felt a conviction of the fatal consequence of the injury at the moment of its infliction, hut she had patiently borne her sufferings without complaining of her cruel assailant, in the vain hope that he would marry her. Finding herself heartlessly de serted by the man who had ruined her reputa tion, sacrificed her happiness, and then by his brutal ill-treatment given her her death-blow, she at length revealed the cause of her approaching dissolution, and a post mortem examination, with other evidence, confirmed her statement. All this was proved to the satisfaction of the jury, who found a verdict of manslaughter. Surely if the crime amounted only to the minor offence, there could be no doubt of its being a very aggravated form of the lesser delinquency, and consequently deserving exem plary punishment. What, then, must be the surprise of the public at finding a sentence of eighteen months' imprisonment attached to an outrage of the most vio lent and heartless kind, unprovoked by anything but a natural remonstrance on the part of a poor victim of seduction against the desertion with which her assailant had threatened her. After such- instances as this of the working of the criminal law, we cannot feel surprised at the remark of the Recorder of London, that offences against the person are greatly on the increase, and that the tendency of the Execu tive, as well as of legislation, to what is called hu manity is filling our criminal records with details of atrocity which only lose a portion of their horrible effect from the frequent, q their. occurrence. CHRONICLE.--The proceedine-s at the official declaration of the North Warwickshire poll are well calculated, we think, to convey a wholesome admoni tion to the people of Birmingham. Everything was said that needed to be said, by way of pointing the moral of the day's business. There was, to be sure, no gross incivility displayed towards the vanquished traders and artizans of the metropolis of the midland county. Mr. Spooner's Noble Friend and proposer did not judge it expedient to give a second edition of his sneer at " the hardware village." The squires were victorious, and could afford to be polite. In fact, there seemed a disposition rather to patronise Birmingham, as a respectable enough sort of place, after all. The " hardware village; now that it has got itself properly represented by a i air of Protec tionist and No-Popery statesmen, has shot up into a "large manufacturing borough ;" and we dare say, if Birmingham should be found to behave well under the infliction, it might come in time to be the object of Lord John Scott's especial admira tion. We cannot say, however, that any solicitude was shown to disguise from the offended amour propre of Birmingham the shameful truth, that some two hundred thonsand people are without a voice potential in the representation of the district which derives its wealth and importance from their inventive and never-tiring industry. The fact was very well brought out. Birmingham was sufficiently reminded of its impotence and nullity in the politics of its own county. The people of Birmingham are not per mitted to forget that Messrs. Newdegate and Spooner are their representatives. As regards the latter gen tleman in particular, the event which has made the rejected of Birmingham the representative of the county that owes nearly all its worth to Birming ham industry and intelligence, is pointedly de scribed as the " union of the agricultural and manufacturing interests." We are given to un derstand, in fact, that Birmingham has in a manner made the amende honorable to Protection, No Popery, and the squires, for its late disrespectful treatment of their candidate. We cannot think that this lesson will be thrown away. The people of Bir mingham will not, we trust, commit the error of con founding the proximate and casual with the ultimate and essential cause of this mortifying occurrence. The immediate occasion of Messrs. Newdegate and Spooner's success was, not improbably, the apathy with which (after the retirement of Mr. Bracebridge) the contest was regarded by several influential Liberal electors—an apathy induced by certain discouraging doubts, whether the name of Leigh could be safely regarded as identified with Liberal and Free-trade principles. As it is entirely with reference to the future that we now notice the subject, we refrain from inquiring how far those doubts were justified by the circumstances of the case. What we are anxious to impress on North Warwickshire in general, and the industrial capital of North Warwickshire 14 particular, is, that the real cause of this humiliating result lies much deeper than in any doubts, founded or unfounded, as to the political earnestness and heartiness of Lord Leigh's son and heir. Atte r l t e h c - e ; toral district baying such a town as Biri . ningh u air_i f centre of its spcial and political vitality g ssitility, ren ht to be in a position that could never, by ti i i i i n i y n o P° dependent on der its Parliamentary the rumoured or actual'. e p p o o r u i e t s i c e t y n a I.

If North Warwickshire occu pied the political positio n w hi c h Birmingham ought to give it, the event of an electoral contest could never be in the remotest way influenced by rumours, true or false, as to the use that a candidate's relatives are elsewhere making of their w o er as landlords. ADVERTISER. --When medical men, and men of science in general, are most desirous to correct what we would compendiously term, though perhaps erroneously, the sanitary evils of our towns, it is not very pleasant to find clergymen opposing the move ment for suppressing burials in crowded neighbour hoods.

EXTRAORDINARY FLIGHT OF INSECTS.-011 Fri day, the whole of the coast around Southend was visited by one of the most numerous flights of insects on re cord. They consisted of at least five species of lady bird, and they came in such dense numbers, as for miles along the coast to resemble a swarm of bees during hiving. The sea destroyed countless millions of th em , the grass and hedge-rows, and every cr ev i ce th a t af forded shelter from the wind, were coloured with their numbers, and for mahy miles it was impossible to walk without crushing numbers beneath the tread. The in sects evidently came from the east, the wind having veered round to that point during the night. Every true friend of agriculture, however, hails the appearance of these insects, as they are well known to be the de stroyers of aphides, a race of flies the most injurious to vegetation. A NICE POINT.—The first dragoman of the English legation had, some days before, a warm discussion with Ali Effendi relative to a female renegade, who, after ab juring the Greek religion at Damascus, and embracing Islamism, was desirous to return to the faith of her fathers. The Governor of that city claimed her as an Ottoman subject, and her parents, who were proteges of England, referred her case to the British Ambassador. Ali Effendi supported the pretension of the Governor, when the dragoman, producing the hatti-scheriff obtained by Sir Stratford Canning, contended that he had no right to prevent the renegade from returning to her former creed. The dragoman, moreover, invoked the law of nature and paternity, and deduced various other reasons, founded on political considerations, which con vinced Ali of his error. "Your arguments," replied the Turk, " are perfectly conclusive : reason and good sense will have it so, but our book (meaning the Koran) is opposed to it." .4 I n that case," retorted the dragoman, "follow the dictates of reason and good sense, and burn your book." The Government of Wurtemberg has just revoked the decree of last year, enacting that German Catholics should not be allowed to take part in the election of mu , nicipal Odors, or NMI ouch flillOti0118! betn 6141:41 sling personal eels. ,e dangerous abomi cost, as was very -.Lice of Parliamentary influence. Even in the last session, and when there was not this particular property in question, we saw all sorts of sinister means employed to exclude the city of London from the operation of- the , ju dicious, and, indeed, necessary Act, which had been prepared by Government as a general measure. Most of the people who thus injured their fellow-citizens' are men whose daily pur suit of money may possibly lead them to care about their own - indiiidnal affairs more than the public wel fare, but really we do not expect such things flEom clergymen. However, so it is ; the poisonous nui sance which Voltaire And D'Alembert forcibly de nounced in the middle of the last century, finds its chief abettors in gentlemen whose education, at least, is liberal. We refer with satisfaction to the report of a lecture, part of a series, on " Burial in Towns," which appeared in the Morning Advertiser of Satur day. It was delivered by Mr. G. A. Walker, a me dical gentleman, who, like Dr. Southwood Smith, has distinguished himself by his able exposition of those evils which frightfully augment our bills of mortality. if we decline to analyse Mr. Walker's lecture, it is because we presume it has attracted at- • tention ; but we cannot avoid one observation; and , that is, th;.t our intramural burials amount in the annual estimate to 426 for each cemetery. No man, in the present day, can entertain the slightest doubt, whatever he may pret en d to do, that in each neigh fitithoed this accuniulation of the generators of pes tiferOm gases . is destructive of life. It is not our object :to . allude to the 'causes by which, hitherto, the rational means of— frustrating the great—the serious evil, by which the people are continually injured in health, and exposed to the loss of life. We trust that Government, which in the next session will be very powerful, will protect -t e masses, and care as little as possible for indi - companies, or corporations. Indeed, we have a most an assurance to this effect in Lord Morpeth's address to the electors of the West Riding of Yorkshire. He candidly admitted that an error had been committed in withdrawing the Health of Towns Bill—at least we so understood him—but then he said, that Go vernment would, early in the next session, re-intro duce it, with a determination, that no paltry feelings of others shall be allow6d to interfere with this most necessary measure. We are glad to •be enabled to infer from his Lordship's language, that the city of London is not intended to be allowed the solitary privilege of an indulgence in filth and stench ; and that, despite of the Corporation, it will be included in the contemplated Act. We shall hardly regret this error, if the Government will stoutly insist on the correction of such enormous nuisances as cattle markets and the burial of corpses in the middle of towns ; and we hope to hear of no more opposition to a civil reformation, of which all men of intelligence must cordially approve.

CLAPTON CLUD.—This match—and one of the extraordinary matches of the season it proved—was played at the Oval on Monday and yesterday. The weather, however, not only spoilt the contest as far as much of the play was concerned, but as had reference to the attendence of spectators. The ground on Monday was wretchedly heavy ; an d that fact, supported by some instances of indifferent fielding by the Surrey, and excellent batting on the part of the Clapton, tended to the result that the former were beaten in one innings by 81.
