UNION BANK OF LONDON.-At a General Meeting of the Proprietors, held at the Court room of the Banking-house, 8, Moorgate-street, on Wednesday, the Bth July, 1840; present, Sir PETER LAURIE, Governor, in the Chair; ANDREW SPOTTISWOODE, Esq., Deputy-Governor and 127 Proprietors. The following Report, having been read by the Secretary, the Governor declared a dividend of 5 per cent. on the paid-up capital which will be payable on and after the 20th July : " The Directors have much pleasure in meeting the Pro prietors for the first time to lay before them the statement of the affairs of the Bank appended to this Report, which they confidently anticipate will prove satisfactory to the Proprietary at large. "It would not no be of any practical utility to give a de tailed history of the formation of the Bank, the Directors will therefore content themselves by stating its present position. The number of Shares issued at 30th of June, 1840, is 42,005, held by 739 proprietors, representing a subscribed capital of 2,100,2501., on which the first call of Si. has been paid by all the Shareholders ; making the paid-up capital of the Company 210,0251. " A List of the Proprietors has been printed and circulated, and the Directors refer to it with pride and satisfaction, as showing the firm basis upon which the credit of this establish ment has been reared. " It is gratifying to the Directors to be enabled to declare a dividend of five per cent. on the paid-up capital, out of the net profits of the business to the 30th of June, after making a full allowance for bad and doubtful debts, liquidating a portion of the preliminary expenses (which, in justice to the present Pro prietors, must be provided for gradually), and setting apart the sum of 2,000/., being nearly one per cent. on the paid-up ca. Pital, as the foundation of a surplus or guarantee fund, the establishment of which, to an adequate amount, invested and accumulating separately in Government Securities, in the names of the Trustees, the Directors consider to be a matter of great importance to the future interests of the Bank. The attention of the Proprietors is particularly directed to that part of the balance sheet, showing the amount of interest Paid on current and deposit accounts to be 7,3731. 12s. Bd., by • which it will be seen that, in addition to the greater security afforded by the sound principle of joint-stock banking, the cus tomers obtain so manifest an advantage by a return of interest on their general balances, which would otherwise have been wholly unproductive. " The extreme pressure on the Money Market at the close 0 last year, reudered the greatest circumspection indispensable in the management of the Bank. The Directors, notwitstend ing, refer to the account appended to this Report, to show vas Proprietors that in preferring a safe and cautious course to the precarious profit which might have attended a less prudent line of conduct, they have been actuated by a strict regard to the eltimate interests of the Company. " The Directors, for the convenience of business, have opened an account with the Bank of England ; and it is due to the Directors of that great establishment, to state that this accom modation was granted in the most prompt and obliging manner. The Directors have also the satisfaction of stating that the most friendly feelings exist between this and the other Joint Stock Banks established in the metropolis. " Nothing has as yet been done by the legislature with refe ranee to the unjul prohibition which prevents Joint Stock Banks in London from accepting bills at less than six months' date; but from the principle of removing a similar limitation, as respects Ireland, having been admitted in the bill brought in , by the Government last session, and the growing opinion in the public mind that this and other restrictions upon Joint Stock Banks are injurious to the public hate. eats, the Directors are justified in entertaining the most confident expectation, that when the interesting inquiry now going on before a select committee of the House of Commons on the subject of banking .shall be completed, the whole matter will be placed on a sound and reasonable footing. "A Branch Bank at the west end of the town was opened at • temporary offices in Argyll-place, Regent-street, and the Di rectors. considering the situation to Le very eligible, have pur chased the valuable freehold of the premises, and et ected thereon a co m modious banking-house, which will be shortly completed. The success of this establishment has fully realised the expecta tions of the Directors. " The Directors refer with the greatest pleasure to the ap -Pointwent of Mr. W. W. Scrimgeour as the General Manager ; and it is but' justice' to that gentleman to say, that his un wearied zeal and assiduity, his peculiar and extensive knowledge of credit and banking iu general, much of the success of this Company is is be attributed. They have also great satisfaction in exl.ressiug their entire approbation of the conduct of Mr. clack, the Manager of the Regent.street Branch. `ln conclusion, the Directors would urge upon the Proprietors o consider how much of the success of the Company depends en their active co-operation, not merely by keeping their own accounts with the Bank (which is almost too obvious a duty to require remark) but by extending the connexions of the esta blishment by every means in their power. It must be evi dent, that with so large and influential a body of proprietors, the elements of prosperity are within their own control. The value of their shares depends mainly on themselves, and the Di rectors look: with confidence to increased exertions and assist ance from the Propri e tors for the promotion of their mutual iaterett.

When fortune's frowns disturb my mind, And friends appear to grow unkind; Relief I seek witniu my box, My system is quite orthodox. When a true friend perchance I meet, I cheerfully his person greet, A hearty " How do sell do 7" takes place, When, to !my snuff-hex shows its face. My pulveriforous box supplies A recipe for weakly eyes; That man must be a silly goose Who thoughtlessly condemns its use.

" These works evince great professional and scientific ta lent."--:Oxford Chronicle, April 11, 1840. A successful mode of treating diseases so formidable, so fatal, and so corn mon as Dropsy and Consumption, which assail the human frame from se rnany, and frequently from such opposite causes, must obviously be an inestimable benefit to mankind. There is scarcely a disease to which flesh is heir that may net terminate either in Dropsy or Consumption, from the simple cold, which inflames the mucous membrane, and obstructs the secretions of the body, to the more appalling aneurism or ossi fication. From an enemy, therefore, that threatens from so many quarters, and lurks in such complicated ambush, all men have been anxious to be delivered ; but hitherto their wishes have been disappointed. Dr. Bright details, step by step, his mode of dealing with Dropsy and Consumption, the Medicines he exhibits, and gives many actual cases of patients cured after they had been given up by eminent members of his profession." —London Conservative Journal, Jan. 4, 1840.

Table showing the ex-duty price of West India Sugar in" Mincing-lane, and comparing the same against that of Foreign Sugars:— Lo The Gazette of this e ven i ng will quote July tet 10, 1840. the average price of British Plantation Muscovado Per Cwt. Sugar, exclusive of duty, at The actual quantity of Sugar sold on account of the importers, in the week ending, the 7th inst., ac cording 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 1,690 hhds. 25 trs. and 333 brls. Foreign Sugars ate this week quality for quality, 325. per cwt. cheaper than West India Sugar : taking, there fore, the prices of the Sugars on the respective plantations, before charges of any kind accrue on them, we find that five hundred weight of Foreign free labour Sugar may be bought with the same amount of money which British consumers are compelled to pay the West India proprietors for one. Thus, the average price of West India Sugars being 565., the charges before shipping them 6s. 6d. per cwt., and after shipping, prior to the sale, 9a. per cwt., together 15s. 6d. per cwt; the value of this kind of Sugar on the plantation is 40s. 6d. per cwt. The price of Foreign free labour Sugars, of a quality similar to those from the West Indies, being 245. per cwt., leaves, as the value of the Sugar on the plantation, after deducting the same amount of charges as before, Bs. 6d. per cwt. This enormous difference of price inflicts an intolerable grievance upon all the industrious classes of the nation, and upon those of them who have given up a portion of their time to the cultivation of fruit in their gardens and orchards it perpetrates a downright fraud. The instances arc numerous where the tenants of such grounds calcula ted that the sale of their produce will provide the means for satisfying their landlords; however, to their embarrass ment and misery, they • ascertain this year that although the earth bas yielded abundantly in return for the labour they have bestowed upon its cultivation, yet that their harvest is valueleis, because those who usually purchase and preserve the fruit are deterred from followirg out their customary avocations by the high price of sugar. To place hard working people in such a position is actually wicked. We should be sorry to advocate any proceeding which would interfere with the revenue of the country ' • but if some measure is not speedily introduced by which people may have a good supply of sugar at a cheap rate, it may be expected that the people will avail themselves of certain cheap methods of obtaining a sweet from certain vegetables which are well known. The process may be successfully car, led on in every village in the kingd , ,m at a small cost, and there will be no want of teachers should it continue to he profitable. Let the Chancellor of the Exchequer take warning in time, or he will certainly lose the hulk of his sugar duties. An army of excisemen would not suffice to collect them for him, provided each housekeeper becomes his own sugar-maker. England has the example of France before it in that respect—the scheme of procuring sugar from vegetables was ridiculed when it was proposed there—in fifteen years, however, the French manufacturers have shown the colonists that their scheme is an unexeeptionable one, for in 1839 France pro duced 80,000 tons of such sugar. COURT OF ALDERMEN. A Court was held after the Common Hall was dis solved, according to custom. Sheriff WHELTON took occasion to complain that the Governor of Necvgate had not made a sufficiently early communication to him of the statement made by Courvoisier of the murderer's intention to destroy himself. Sir PETER LAURIE deprecated the accusation of a m a n in his absence, and moved that the subject be re ferred to a Committee, which was accordingly done. THE JEWISH MISSION TO DAMASCUS. Copy of a letter signed John Brittain Shenston and William Henry Black, to Sir Moses Montefiore, the benevolent head of the mission to the East in favour of the persecuted and calumniated Jews : London, July 3, 1840. Sta,—We, the undersigned, being ministers of the two ancient congregations of Christians observing the seventh day, Sabbath, in London, deeply commiserating the afflictions which your persecuted Jewish brethren in the East have lately suffered, and still are suffering, beg leave to assure you of our joy that you have under taken the humane and pious task of endeavouring to obtain their reliaf. From the first time we heard of these calamities we have offered public prayers in their behalf, and we cease not to implore the merely of heaven upon the scattered sons of Abraham for whom sit e especially feel it our duty to make intercession always. Fully convinced of the falsehood of those calumnies which have been cast upon your nation by those mali cious persons who have imputed to you practices in the exercise of your religion that are abhorrent to human nature, we thus bear our humble testimony of good will towards you, and we fervently hope that Divine .

Permit me to assure you how deeply I feel this token of your kind sympathy, and to say that I esteem and highly value the prayers of all good men, and you may rest assured that my own intercessions will be offered up with your's, that He who alone can make me prosper, will grant to me and my mission his Divine protection, that I may return in safety to this happy land, having succeeded to the full extent of your most benevolent wishes.—l have the honour to be, Rev. Sirs, your very faithful servant, (Signed) MOSES Morn. zFlonE. To the Rev. Messrs. J. B. Shenston and W. H. Black. Yesterday Mr. Child, the partner of Mr. David W. Wire, who accompanies Sir Moses Montefiore in this mission to the East, for the service of the persecuted Jews, waited upon tha Lord Mayor, and received his Lordship's signature to copies of the humane and spi rited resolutions which were passed on Friday, the 3d instant, at the Mansion-house, amidst such loud and una nimous acclamations. The resolutions were then sent to the Ambassadors of all the nations represented in England, for the purpose of being forwarded to their re spective Governments. CONDITION OF THE DEAF AND DUMB IN EA RLY 'TIMM—The majority cf those who are in the me lancholy condition of being deprived of hearing are either deaf at birth, or become so during the period of infancy, and hence they are necessary without the faculty of speech. The helplessness oc casioned by the want of the power of oral communication, did not for many centuries gain them that degree of attention end com miseration which it seems so powerfully to demand. Among some nations, in axcient times, these unfortunate beings were the objects of a species of proscription, being supposed to la boor under the curse of Heaven. By the laws of Justinian, those:who were deaf and dumb from their birth were incapacitated from making a will, or from emancipating a slave, and were subject to other civil disabilities. " St. Augustine declares," says Mr. Baker, " that the deaf and dumb are shut out from obtaining religious knowledge ; and many respectable ecclesias tics, in the time of the Abbe de l'Epee, openly condemned his undertaking. The benevolent Abbe also informs us, that parents considered it a discredit to have deaf and dumb chil dren ; and they believed that they fulfilled every claim such offspring could have upon them, by merely supplying their ani mal wants, concealing them from the eyes of the world within the walls of a cloister, or in some other obscure abode. He also asserts, that in some uncivilised countries the deaf and dumb were in his time regarded as monsters, an i were put to death as soon as their calamity was ascertained."—Curtis' Advice to the Deaf. THE DAYS OF QUEEN ANNE.—Mr. Grant ley Berkeley's new novel, entitled " Sandron Hall ; or, the Days of Queen Anne," seems to address itself in an especial manner to that appetite for the exciting and the adventurous, which has recently been raised to such a dangerous pitch by the " Jack Shepherds" and " Oliver Twists" of the day. It traces the career of a young man of family and fortune through all the phases of a " London life" during the days of Queen Anne, including his adventures among gamblers, players, gypsies, thieves, swindlers. and swash-bucklers of all degrees and denominations. On tne other hand, the hero's high con nexions bring him into contact with all the celebrites of the Court circle—from the Alwcenas of Strawberry-hill downwards, together with all the wits of the time—Swift, Addison, Steele, &c., &c. The design is as bold as it is comprehensive ; and it seems to be filled up with considerable spirit. The notorious Colonel Charteris plays a conspicuous part in the story. FEMALESUICIDE.—Wednesday,Emtna Brown, a fine young woman, 20 years of age, died at the London Hos pital from the effects of vitriol, of which she swallowed a large quantity. It appeared from what could be learned from her relatives, the!, she had left her parents to live with a young man, and in a quarrel which she had with a neighbour the latter threatened to inform her husband, as he was supposed to be, that she was in the habit of seeing other men in his absence, she in a paroxysm of rage swallowed the fatal draught. Another young woman, named Mary Brown, is on the point of death in the same institution from the effects of oxalic acid, which she had swallowed. It appeared that an illegitimate child which she had was taken away from her by its father, and that had such an effect upon her that she resolved upon self-destruction. On Monday last Mr. W. Mutton, of Northgate, in this city, now in the 72d year of his age, walked from Lon. don to Canterbury, being a distance of 57 miles. He started frsm Smithfield market at five in the morning, and reached Canterbury the same night.—Kentish Gazette. The following letter from a labouring man details some strange proceedings on the part of the law offi cers of the Crown. We do not vouch for the correct nes sof all the statements, but the very circumstance that the writer and his friend are not brought to trial, leads us to infer that there is something wrong. If only one half of his statements are correct, he has been most cruelly treated, and we readily publish his letter in order to force on an investigation : TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—For nearly six months I have been hunted and harassed by the agents of the Government. I was arrested, examined, and conveyed to prison on the 19th of March last, brought again up for re-examination on the 23d ; thrust back• again, or, if you please, re manded until the 30th ; re-examined again, and com mitted to Newgate for trial, on a charge of having like the great Nazarene reformer, spoken seditious words at the Trades' Hall, Bethnal-green, on the evening of the 14th of January, two days prior to the infamous outrage committed by the police on a peaceable assembly in the same place ; after a fortnight's imprisonment, du ring which 1 hal to submit to many indignities, I was libe rated on bail of 5001., and two sureties of 2501., each.ta appear and take my trial at the April Session. I attended seven successive days for that purpose, being ever anxious to prove to a jury of my countrymen, that I had not been guilty of any crime either morally or legally ; at the close of the Session I ascertained that the case was re moved into the Court of Queen's Bench, and that the undefinable and indefinite crime of having spoken sedi tious xords was not all they had against me. On my appli cation to the Crown Office for a copy of the indictment, I found myself coupled with Charles Hodgson Neesom, and conspiracy and riot added to sedition ; the two latter charges which this indictment contain, the police force are guilty of, and if tried before God and Mei,- country, will not stand acquitted. Ever since the removal of the case into the Court of Queen's Bench, I have been visited by policemen, act ing in the capacity of lawyer's clerks, giving me notice after notice of trial. The thing has been procrastinated two Terms in the Queen's Bench. Myself and Mr. Neesom attended this Court four days last week, but no opportunity was afforded us of meeting those conspirators against our liberty and lives face to face. We were informed that if we would plead guilty, that is if we would become guilty of lying, in that Court where all are sworn to speak the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, the Attorney- General would discharge us on our own recognizances, with an understanding that we should not be calved up for judgment, which (lifer we rejected, knowing our selves innocent, and our accusers guilty. We were then informed that our case would stand over till next term. Mr. Editor, why is justice thus delayed—why are we to be thus harrassed, and our homes ruined ? Does the Bit of Rights sanction these things? I think not. Yet we are subject to them. We should not have had reason to complain of the law's delay, had they any confidence in themselves. The Attorney and Solicitor-Generals, with three other learned gentlemen to assist them, would not have been afraid to attack two poor working men. Their offer of mercy to us, was not intended as mercy for us, but merely for the POLICEMEN, who would have had to answer such questions as would have developed their lives, charac ters, and behaviour, of which some of them would not be over-proud. These plotters and their employers, Mr. Editor, arc brimful of loyalty, but it is like the loyalty of the Samaritan nobles to Jezebel. I reserve things for the day of trial. Sir, I shall feel obliged by your allowing this to be inserted in your widely circulated paper, that the public may be apprised of the further procrastination of our trial, which is no doubt intended to wear out the pa tience of our friends ; as, being working men, they are aware that of ourselves we cannot bear the expense of bringing up witnesses. so as to make them proper re muneration.—l am, Sir, your's most respectfully, . - GEO.

JOY, QUEEN'S Con NSEL. —We regret to learn the sudden death of the above named gentleman, which took place at his villa, Brompton, on Tuesday last. The learned gentleman hid sat down to dinner with Mrs. Joy, about seven o'clock, in his usual health and spirits, and while he was taking his fish, the butler perceived him suddenly turn very pale, but almost in an instant after his colour returned. However, no sooner had that occurred than he fell back in his chair, and seemed to froth a little from the mouth, and heave with slight convulsions for a few seconds. The butler instantly conveyed him to his bed-room and untied his neck-cloth, &c. Medical attendance was procured with the least possible delay, boa it was of no avail, for life was already extinct. It is impossible to convey a notion of the grief into which the melancholy event his plunged Mrs. Joy and her die , cmaohde young family.

Loss of DIAMONDS.—The Marquis of Londonderry came to the Court to communicate the citcninstances re lative to some missing diamonds which his Lordship pre sumed had been abstracted from a case in which they had been deposited, by a foreign valet recently in his service. His Lordship said the diamonds in question had been used at the Eglintoun tournament. Bing loose they were wrapped in some silver paper, and placed, as he presumed, by the valet in the case in which a diamond mounted sword was also deposited. The case was sealed up, and given inns Le cal..p of the valet. When the case was opened a few days ago the loose diamonds were gone. Now as the ser vant had created suspicion of his honesty in a previous matter, and had obtained a situation in,tho family of a lady of distinction in a way not usually practised, the impression on his (Lord Londonderry's) mind was, that the person in question was concerned in the abstraction of the diamonds. In answer to a question from the Magistrate the Marquis said he could swear, to the best of his belief, that the valet had not placed the diamonds in the case. Mr. EONO said he should not be justified in granting a warrant under such circumstances. The Marquis of Londonderry wanted to know if the man could not be taken into custody to frighten him into some communication. Mr. Fitzpatrick, the clerk, said it was not permitted to take a man into custody for the purpose of frightening him, neither would the law allow a map to criminve himself. After some further conversation, which led to no result, the Marquis left the office. In the course of Otte day a man of the name of Conofiy, said to belong to the " swell u.ob," was remanded on a charge of robbing M. Alzard, on beard the Gravesend steamer, of a large rum of money. He is to be brought up, with the other two,ptsrsons implicated, on Tuesday. CHIEF BARON WOULFE. We learn with the most sincere regret that the Right Hon. Stephen Woulfe, Chief Baron of the Exchequer in Ireland, died at Baden-Baden on the 2d instant. Mr. Woelfe was one of the first Roman Catholics promoted to high station in Ireland, and there could not possibly be an individual selected whose choice reflected more credit upon the Government that promoted him, than that lamented and accomplished gentleman. 11Ir. Weulfe was of an ancient and most respectable family in the county of Clare, where Ire succeeded to a good family estate. A most distinguished scholar and accomplished gentleman, be brought to the pro fession of the law great acquirements and elevated views. While he steadily pursued his way to sure pro fedional eminence, be could not have avoided taking some part in the stirring politics of his country. That part was—though moderate and respectable—invari ably firm, consistent, and unflinching. He was early honoured by the frieodship and regard of Mr. (now Lord) Plunkett, the Lord High Chancellor of Ireland. Many years ago, when an attempt was made, at a meeting of the Roman Catholic body, by Mr. O'Cca nell, to withdraw the petition of the Catholics from Mr. Plunkett, and to intrust it to Sir Francis Burdett, Mr. Woulfe most ably and successfully resisted the :notion, the result of which was, on the part of Mr. Plunkett, one of the most brilliant displays —even of that distin guished man—in behalf of his countryman:. Mr. Woulfe had thus shown his independence of the great leader of the Catholics, and the clear judgment and foresight of his political views. On another re markable occasion he had an opportunity of prov ing that he could be equally firm in resisting the unconstitutional stretch of power, even in friendly b aia k When his friend Mr. Plunkett--then Attorney- General —thought fit to institute a prosecution against Mr. Shiel, for a speech in the Catholic Association, Mr. Woulfe, though by no means a constant attendant at the meetings of that body, came expressly down to throw the shield of his character and sympathy round its most eloquent member, and denounced tles pro ceeding of the Government in a speech of so much strength and eloquence, as caused the abandonment of that ill-judged procieling. What rendered this step the more creditable to Mr. Woulfe's integrity and boldness, was the fact that he was the only Roman Catholic who at that time held a position to which be was appointed by the Attorney- General, and removable by that officer, namely, Coun sel for the Crown upon circuit. A Tory Attorney- General would have removed him for much less show of independence. When time storm of the Repeal agitation ;aged in Ireland, Mr. Woulfe, at the risk of losing all political and professional popularity—in Ireland so much cee nected—hesitated not a moment to sign the Leiotter Declaration in favour of the Union. _ _ These incidents in his life sufficiently prove the kW) and consistent character of his political careen He was a Whig of the true eld English school rath er than a mere Irish politician. Atter the Reform Bill he Ties elected M.P. for Cashel, and became Attorney-General for Ireland. The delicate state of his health prevented any frequent display in the House of Clinmons. Hi s speech on the Irish Municipal Corporation Bill, how ever, has always been c onsidered one of the most elo quent and constitutional appeals in favour of that tape sure of justice and equality. As a man he w as iseloved and respected by all who knew his worth, his amiabi lity, and his accomplishments.
