EIGIITII REPORT OF THE UNION BANK OF LONDON. PRESENT : Sir PETER LAURIE, Alderman, Governor, in the Chair. ANDREW SPOTTISWOODE. Esq., Deputy Governor. DIRECTORS. - George ‘Vebster, Esq. Archibald Cockburn, Esq. John Barnes, Esq. Peter Laurie, Esq. J. W. Sutherland, Esq. John Connell, Esq. James Farquhar, 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• NECDAY, the 14th of July, 1847, the following report was read by the Seeret.lry : " 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 Irons the accounts now presented, that the Net Profits of the year amount to 47,5981. 16s. 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 Divided 6 per Cent., clear of Income Tax, for the whole year. The 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. far the year), and . appropriating 5001. as usual in gradual liquidation of the preliminary expenses, there remains a surplus profit of 21,7241. 16s. 7d., of which 16,6961. bs. 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/. Ils. 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.; William Petrie Craufurd, 'Esq. ; and Peter Laurie, Esq., and James Farquhar, Esq., being eligible, offer themselves, and are recommended by the Court of Directors far re-election; and the Directors have received notice from lohn Chapman, Esq., of No. 2, Leadenhall.street, a duly qualified Shareholder, of his intention to offer himself as a Candidate for the office of a Director at this meeting.

The following are a few of the many thousands of cases success fully treated by the Vegetable Compound, during a practice of up wards of twenty years May 19th, 1847.—John Lawrence, cabinet-maker, of 13, Essex street, King's Cross, New-road, London, while taking Lamb's Vege table Compound, passed a tape-worm eight yards long.

MARCH 20th, 1847.—Mrs. Draper, aged 60, wife of John Draper, of Wildmoor, in the parish of Sherrield Green, near Basingstoke, while taking Lamb's Vegetable Compound passed a tape-worm several yards long. She had been subject to almost every symptom of indigestion for many years, an d never could obta i n any benefit until taking the Vegetable Comp ound, since wh i c h s h e h as e njoyed a good state of health up to the r r esent t i me.

Mr. Lamb may be consulted personally at his residence, every VISIT OF THE QUEEN TO THE CLYDE.--It is now definitively arranged that he r Ma j est y will visit the Clyde next week. Her Majesty, does not, it is stated, intend to come further up the Clyde than Dumbarton. At this stage the accounts yet received differ as to whether the Queen, after viewing the castle, &c., will return by the river to join the squadron off Greenock, or drive to Balloch ; sail on Lochlomond to Tarbet, and from thence cross over to Arrochar, and sail down to Lochlong to join the squadron. This is by far the most likely route, as all the accounts state that her Majesty is to sail on Lochlong ; and it is not at all likely that the beauties of this loch are so great as to inducelhe Queen to sail both up and down, when little more time would be required to sail round Lochlomond and down Lochlong.

BRUSSELS, AUGUST B.—From the Ist to the sth of August, 1847, eleven vessels entered the port of Ant werp, laden either wholly or in part with grain. The importations made were— Kilometres. Wheat ... 553,000 Rye ... 418,000 Flour ... ... 348,800 Rice ... —. 441,900 1,761.700 We do not recollect ever to have seen exposed in our market, on one day, so large a supply of grain as on the 6th of August. There were above 425 sacks-100 of wheat, 325 of rye. It will be easily understood that his large supply produced a very considerable decline in he prices. All the wheat found purchasers at 21f. to 24f. 10c. per sack of a hectolitre and a half. Compared with last week, this was a fall of from 9 to 10 florins. Rye was also sold at a decrease of 2 to 3 florins—that is to say, from 11 to 13 florins; but a parcel was withdrawn for want of purchasers. At first a small quantity was sold at 15f. DORDRECHT, AUGUST s.—The arrivals of wheat have not been very abundant. There has, however, been a fall of 30 cents. in wheat for home consumption. DRESDEN, AUGUST 2.—The harvest is going on for. ward by the most propitious weather, and is so wonder fully productive that the fields in some places yielded three or fourfold the quantity of last year in sheaves, and thegrain when threshedfrom 10 to 15 per cent. more. Nor is this great fruitfulness confined to grain of every description—it is likewise the case with fruit, from the finest cherries, which we have had now on the table for six weeks, to blackberries; immense quantities are ex posed daily in our market. Beans and cucumbers are very fine, and sold at moderate prices. The vintage also promises to be unusually luxuriant. The vines bear numerous clustres of grapes of uncommon size. It this month should continue as warm our resources will be greatly multiplied. HIGHLAND AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. The annual show of this institution commenced on Wednesday at Aberdeen. Notwithstanding the bustle and excitement of the elections, the attendance was very large. The space allotted to the show-yard on the city common covered six imperial acres. There was no covering to shelter the cattle in case of rain; but the weather was all that could be desired. In the centre of the show-yard an elegant marquee was erected for the exhibition of seeds, plants, and specimens of corn; while a large portion of ground was set apart for the show of implements, and for conducting such experi ments as may be required. The show of implements was opened to the public on Wednesday, but few articles were exhibited, and not one presented either original or novel features. The show of roots, seeds, and manures was considered excellent. There were specimens from John o'Groat's to the Land's•end. Among the esculents we observed some very fine potatoes from the Continent, particularly from Belgium, and some good beet-root from France. Numerous specimens of flax were also shown. Some hundred acres of this plant are now under crop in the vicinity of Aberdeen, by way of experiment, and with a view to its general cultivation in Scot land, should it thrive and yield a good return. One of the manufacturers here has 60 acres growing near his country house, and promising an early and abundant harvest. On Thursday morning the show, properly so called, opened. By noon there were some 3,000 people in the show-grounds gathered from all quarters of the world. The show of stock was unusually large, there being no fewer than 500 animals of every sort of breed placed for competition. One thing in particular dis tinguished this show from that of the Royal Agricultural Society at Northampton, viz., the fine healthy appearance of the animals. This society, it seems, gives prizes for the best fed oxen at the smallest possible cost, and this has no doubt done much to cure the evil of over-feeding, for which they have so often and so justly rapped your royal neighbour over the knuckles. A grand dinner party of members and friends of the institution assembled after the show in a magnificent pavilion erected for the occasion. This place is quite a show of itself, the decorations being of the most costly description, and the company numbering about 1,000. Lord Aberdeen occupied the chair, and amongst those supporting him we observed Sir T. Burnett, Admiral Gordon, M.P.; Captain Fordyce, the Member for the City; Major Cumming Bruce, and several other noble men of agricultural as well as political fame. After several rather common place speeches the party sepa rated. Amongst the prizes awarded were,—for short-horned breed, best bull, 25 sovs., to Amos Cruickshank, of Sittyton; to the breeder of the best bull, the silver medal, to William Torr, Riby, Lincolnshire. Aberdeen, Angus, and Galloway p died breeds; best bull, 25 sovs., to Hugh Watson, Keillor; to the breeder of the best bull, the silver medal, Hugh Watson, Keillor. Best cow of the Aberdeenshire horned breed, 10 sovs., to James Pirie, Collithie. Best entire horse, for agricul tural purposes, 30 sovs., to Joseph Tait, Auchmillie, near Portsoy. Best black-laced tup, 5 sovs., to William Tod, Elphinstone Tower, county of Haddington; best Cheviot tup, 5 sovs., to Donald Horne, of Langwell; se cond best, 3 sovs., to Donald Horne, of Longwell; best Leicester tup, 5 soya., to Thomas Watson, Esperston, near Tuslice-bridge. Best boar, large bre, d, 4 sovs., to his Grace the Duke of Buccleuch ; best boar, small breed, 4 soya., to Sir Thomas Burnett, of Leys, Bart.; best sow, large breed, 4 soya., to David Robertson, Royal Hotel, Aberdeen. Various premiums and recom mendations were made by the judges for implements, seeds, roots, &c.. and extra stock. Our readers will remember the loss of the cutter Clio, near Gorey, on Sunday, the 18th ult., by which three men met a watery grave. One of them, Philip Ronde], was picked up on Tuesday last, near Gr‘de de Lecq ; and a second, William Creeks, near "Ls Cor biere t'oint," on Thursday. Their being found in such opposite directions to the spot where they met with their deaths, shows the effects of the working of the tide and currents round the island.—Jersey Telegraph. TRIAL TRIP OF THE G UADALQUIVER.—A few weeks ago we noticed the appointment of Captain Hos ken, late of the Great Britain, to the command of the steam-ship Guadalquiver, a vessel of peculiar construc tion, which has been built by Messrs. Vernon, of this town, for an American company, to run with passeng ers on the southern coast of Cuba. Since that notice was given the ship has rapidly completed her preparations tor sea ; and on Saturday last she proceeded from the Coburg Dock on a trial trip down the Channel, in order to test her capabilities. The Quadalquivir started from the Coburg Dock at eight o'clock in the morning, having on board a small party of ladies and gentlemen. The weather, though at first showery and unfavourable, afterwards became beautifully fine ; and the ship made excellent way. The Skerries were reached in a run of about six hours; at two o'clock, against a strong op posing tide and head wind, and notwithstanding that the ship had on board ten days' supply of coal; and at seven o'clock she returned to the Coburg Duck, after a cruise highly satisfactory in its results in regard both to the ves sel and her admirably constructed engines, which worked with unusual smoothness. The company on board en• joyed the excursion highly, and separated with feelings of regard most honourable to the gallant host whose hospitality they had received. The Quadalquiver, as we have stated, proceeds shortly to New York. Captain Hosken's command, however, which was assumed at the earnest solicitation of a gentleman who is, we believe, a leading proprietor of the company for which she was built, and who has many times crossed, and proposes again to cross, the Atlantic with Captain Hosken, ter minates on her arrival out; and at New York the ship, we are informed, will be fitted with flush decks, after the American plan of steam-ship construction. The Gus dalquiver measures 600 tons burden, and her engines, which were built by Messrs. Fawcett and Preston, are of 220 horse-power. Her paddle-boxes lies, as has been stated before, within the line of bulwark—not projecting beyond, as is usual. We trust the ship will meet with success.—Liverpool Albion.

At last the children were roused by the rushing waters, and quite bewildered and ignorant of the locality, they ran from .the still uncovered ground which they occupied into the tide. The distracted father soon joined them, and did his best to save his precious household now in deadly peril. He caught hold of the two youngest, and made a desperate attempt to bring them on shore, but, fr sheer exhaustion he had to let go. The eldest boy, who could swim a little, managed to keep his head above water for a while, but his strength was insu ffi cient to strive against the tide. A boat, manned by Captain Blair, reached the place too late to save the children, but in time to take in t he old man, who but for it must shortly have perished. He was conveyed agonyinus and, on being broug ht to consciousness, hid dies were discovered ; the two youngestf each other's arms, at a little distance from the seene o their death- while the body of the eldest child was have been extreme.

A R R I A G E. 31 - One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret on comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand tkat health should form an item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little MEMOIRS " On Single and Married Life," pub. in 2 vols., Is. each (by post, in stamps, Is. Gd. each). Let no imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered by misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but for the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other little publications claim your attention (same price Is. each, by post Is. 601.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's Ife, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob servance of the maxims he would inculcate—ta do unto others as he would be done unto —to live alter nature's laws—and to keep always on the "sunny side of the way."

PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY. —The Lords of the Ad miralty attended service in the Dockyard Chapel yesterday morning, after which the Earl of Auck land (First Lord) and Sir Charles Ogle went over tai the Clarence-yard to meet Lord J. Russell, who' arrived at half-past one o'clock by the South-Western Railway. The Earl accompanied the Premier to Osborne, where Lord John was invited as the guest of her Majesty, the Earl proceeding to Ryde to dine.. with Sir Augustus de Clifford. The other membeis of the Board dined at the George. This morning, at half-past nine, the First Lord, accompanied by Rear-Admiral Prescott, Captain Berkeley, Lord John Hay, Lords of the Admiralty, Captain Eden (secretary to the First Lord), and Mr. Henry Woolley, of the Secret Department of the Admiralty, embarked at the Sallyport-stairs in their barge, and were conducted by Lieutenant Mills, their barge lieutenant, to the Excellent gunnery ship ; Captain chads, C. 8., who received the Board at the entrance port, and presented Commander Hewlett; First Lieut. Hodgkinson, Lieutenant Wolrige, gun nery lieutenant, to the Earl of Auckland. The in spection of the ship and practice of the crew' immediately after commenced, prior to which the official- party were joined by Lord Downes and Captain Vansittart (army). On proceeding to the lower deck we found the guns secured for sea. and the ports lowered. The drums then beat to action, and in an instant the deck was peopled, and the order given to fire at the 800 yard target. The first shot was fired (every store having been provided from its secured receptacle, and the opposite guns also loaded) within three minutes from the moment of giving the word. A broadside was then fired at the target, moored at 800 yards, and every shot struck it. Division firing then commenced, the first divi sion firing at a target at -600 yards distance, the second at a target at 800 yards, and the third ,at a target 1,000 yards seawards. All struck with ad mirable precision. The guns crews then secured themselves and gear from a raking fire and then fired two rounds ; one extreme trained to the right and the other to the left; both fired in one minute and eight seconds. Six shells with concussion fusees were then fired at a butt, all of which went remarkably true and burst at the right moment. A shell projected at a target 800 yards seawards struck, and three at the Leviathan hulk, moored at 2,400 yards, were equally well aimed, the first striking and shattering the bul warks right amidships. This concluded the firing. Commander Hewlett then exercised the crew on the upper-deck, in manceuvring and arming ship, and small arm exercise, which was admirably executed. The scaling-ladder exercise concluded the inspection ; a few men, having carried four ladders (spars lashed together, as if at the spur of the moment) to the afterpart of the vessel, planted them, and scaled them, to the number of 200, in 1 minute and 23 seconds. The whole of the exercise and practice on board this ship was such as to draw from the First Lord and every other member of the Board the most unquali fied eulogium, especially the proficiency exhibited by the boys in the scientific branches of gunnery. Four boys (Elworthy, Burroughs, Sherrington, and May), chosen indiscriminately from the mass, went through all the manoeuvres and gave all the directions of the firing with as much exactness as a clear reader could do from a book. This is worthy of notice, as showing the elaborate nature of the gunnery education pur sued on board this ship. It is also essential to state that after the first word was passed for action, the officers' gun e. a gun manned and served by the officers of the ship, 13) was the first ready. Lord Auckland expressed to Captain Chads his high gra tification, and complimented him and his officers upon the very apparent efficiency of both officers and men. From the Excellent their Lordships were steered to the north end of the dockyard, and landed on Mr. P. Rolt's works of the grand steam-basin and depot, where Mr. Smith, the representative of the contractor (Mr. Rolt), explained the progress of the works; and Mr. Woods, the clerk of them, pointed eut by plans the state and condition of the whole, by which it ap- peared that, at the end of the financial year, this mag nificent national work will be available for use. Their Lordships expressed warmly their satisfaction at the rapidly approaching completion of the work, and then proceeded to inspect Mr. Bramble's new slips, but which do not seem to get on so rapidly as those alongside of them. All, however, we must suppose is going on as fast as possible. From these works the board proceeded to inspect the bottom of the Undine steam yacht on the graving slip, which has been coated on one side with Mr. Hay's (the chymical lecturer to the dockyard) com position, and on the other with red lead, to see which was most efficacious in preventing the adhesion and growth of rubbish. It was palpably apparent that the red lead was of no use, as the side coated with it was covered with weeds, muscles, shrimps, carbun cles, grass, nine inches long, and such like rubbish; whereas the composition side was as smooth and clean :is new iron. Lord Auckland and the other inemtx-rs the hoard, as well as Sir C. Ogle and the scientific officers of the dockyard, expressed their strong opinion in favour of Mr. II ty's valuable invention, which will doubtles, be generally adopted, and obtain for its patentee a permanent place and adequate remunera tion. A letter from Commander Slade, of the iron brig Recruit was read by their Lordships, proving the good properties of the compo,ition of that vessel, and the total inefficacy of the the red lead on the other side of her. From the Undine their Lordships adjourned to the Royal Naval College, the official residence of Captain Chads, and part oo k o f the hospitality of that gallant officer, afterwards receiving the reports of several committees, of which the Committee on Naval Achi tecture, and a Committee appointed to select the best spot and means for establishing coal depots, were the principal. From the college their Lordships pro ceeded, at three o'clock, on board the Victory, and mustered the whole of the ordinary officers and men, and exercised the boys with whom she is "' manned," whose performances yielded much satisfaction. From the Victory the Board proceeded to Rat Island, opposite the Clarence Victualling-yard, and inspected the plans of Lieutenant Savage, of the Royal Naval College, for service batteries, one of which is erected on this island. After this the Board returned to the George Hotel, where the First Lord of the Admiralty entertained the following officers at a superb banquet :—Rear-Admiral Prescott; Cap tain the Hon. G. F. F. Berkeley ; Lord John Hay ; the Hon. W. F. Cowper (Lord) ; Captain Henry Eden (Secretary) ; Mr. Henry Woolley ; Colonel Irvine, Royal Engineers; Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart.; Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker; g Flag-Lieu tenants Cochrane and Spencer; Colonel Aslett, Royal Marines ; Colonel Lewis, Royal Engineers ; Capt. Sir W. E. Parry, Royal Navy; Captains Pasco, of the Victory ; Chads, of the Excellent ; Williams, of the Amphion ; Pelham, of the Odin ; Warren, of the Trincomalee ; Hall, of the Dragon ; the officers of the Russian squadron ; James, Royal Engineers ; Commanders Goold, of the Victory ; Hewlett, of the Excellent ; Caffin, of the Scourge ; Willcox, of the Fury ; and Sherringham, of the Dasher. Captains Plumridge, of the Cambrian, and Hastings, of the Endymion, were also invited, but could not attend. The Geyser steam sloop, Commander F. T. Brown, arrived this morning from Lisbon, bringing 79 super numeraries and invalids from Sir W. Parker s squadron. Mademoiselle Jenny Lind, accompanied by. Signor Lablache, arrived yesterday by the same tram with Lord John Russell, and proceeded in the Undine steamer to Osborne-house. They will return to town to-morrow. The Garland steamer, Master Comm andin g L. Smithett (acting), arrived this morning from Dover, having landed his Serene Highness the Prince of Leiningen ( and) atwho wil Osborn m e p o l accoann th y e w the ay Queen in her trip to Scotl. The failure of Mes . srs. Lesley, Alexand er , an d C o., was an nounced yesterday morning, and created general surprise. The firm were engaged in th e corn tra d e, and the their liabilities are alleged to be about 400,0001. The alarm consequent upon a stoppage so unexpected and se rious was, however, mitigated during the day by an un derstanding that in all probability the creditors would ultimately receive 20s. in the pound. Mr. Alexander, the senior partner, is represented to possess estates in the north of Ireland, yielding a rental of 7,000/., and valued at 200,0001., entirely free from any encumbrance, and there can be little doubt, under these circumstances, that the favourable result anticipated will be realised. During the day, indeed, it was reported that the house had resumed business, but this proved to be an error. A meeting of the creditors, however, will take place on Wednesday to consider whether that step ma y not be practicable.

UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, No. 8, WATER LOO-P LAC E, PALL-MALL, LOND(IN, 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 ef 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. 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. 1). Luisa°, seconded by Mr. T. CURTIS, been received and approved, Mr. Ds CASTRO expressed his gratiticatioa and that of the Directors, that they were able to announce a ver y favourable con tinuation of the successful prog ress of the Company during the last year, the annual income at the present period amounting to 92,0001., year. The expenditure of th e Company during the ast year was a sum exceeding by 8 , 000 /. the ir income at the annual l meeting last less by 4,0001., than during that which preceded it ; so that boorish t whole the affairs or the Company were at present in a most bt en very satisfactory, although at Dublin, Cork, and GlasgOw, an fever had been prevalent, very many proposals ing situation. The returns from the agencies of the CompanY had d other places where 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, tnat 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. 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 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 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 election of the Direetors of the Company, which had to-day, at their Annual Meeting, placed in the chair Mr. De Castro, who is so thoroughly well iniortned in their affairs. His explanation of the progress of the Company, during the last year, had been so clear and satisfactory as really to have lett 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, 1634, to the present day, no one had possessed better opportunities of being acquainted with Mr. Boyd's indefatigable exertions to form and establish the Corn pany, which could not have been surpassed, and which, without all doubt, led to its present prosperity. Re 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 any hopes o( 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, ',rho was first, la 1838, Se cretary, and afterwards one of the Directors had been able to give his father most useful assistance during his long indisposition.

Yesterday an inquest was held in the gaol of Newgate, before Mr. W. Payne, on the body of William Henry George Baugh, aged 23, clerk to Mr. Lewis, one of the Coroners for Essex• _ _ _ Mr. M'Murdo, the prison surgeon, said that the de ceased first came under his notice on the 13th of July, when be was placed in the infirmary of Giltspur-street Compter, by order of the Lord Mayor. He was then evidently suffering under long-standing disease of the lungs. On the 21st of July he was committed to New gate, and was in a state of great mental excitement, as be had expected to have been set free. He was imme diately placed in the infirmary, but gradually grew worse, until he could hardly breathe, and died on Satur day last. His state of mind had an injurious effect on his health. A post mortem examination, made that morn ing, disclosed cavities in the upper part of each lung. Mr. George Wright, the deputy-governor, said that the deceased was committed for trial on suspicion of torgery of a cheque to the amount of 2201. The CORONER (to Mr. M'Murdo)—Was it likely the deceased would have recovered ? Mr. M•Murdo—No—but he might have lived days, or weeks, or months—it was uncertain. The CORONER—That being the case, and the de cea-ed being here only on suspicion, for men are inno ct nt until they are proved guilty, why was not a repre sentation made to the committing magistrates to admit him to bail ? Mr. M'Murdo—l did not think it necessary. that could have been done for him. The CORONER—No doubt you attended to him care fully, but as a medical man, you must know that the best, and almost the only remedy for disease of the lungs is placing the patient where he can breathe the pure fresh air. Mr. M.Murdo said he did not know the offence was bailable. The CORONER—Most offences are bailable now — even homicide, a crime much more serious than forgery, and this is a case in which the power of the magistrate might have been judiciously and humanely exercised. The country air would have been better for him than the confined atmosphere of a prison. Mr. M'Murdo signified his assent. After a short consultation the foreman of the jury said the verdict they had come to was—" That the deceased died of consumption, accelerated by confinement." I did all FIRE IN WHITECHAPEL.—Yesterday morning about a quarter-past twelve, the premises of Mr. Ry man, 82, High-street, Whitechapel, were discovered by a policeman to be on fire. At that period the inmates, consisting of seven or eight persons, were in their beds asleep. The constable, after considerable trouble, suc ceeded in making them sensible of their danger, but by the time he had accomplished his object the whole of the shop was wrapped in a complete blaze, and finding it was impossible to escape by the staircase, the whole of the persons living in the house effected a safe retreat by getting out of the second floor back, and passim: along the roof of the adjoining house. Engines of the parish, London Brigade, and West of England Company quickly attended, and, with the aid of a plentiful supply of water, the flames were speedily ex of the disaster is unk nown.

The settle ment was rapidly increasing in wealth :and population. The following paragraph from the South Australian of March 20 shows an amazing rate of increase in a colony so recently formed, at such a distance from the mother conntry :—" Exports—We directs public attention to a return of the exports from the province during the last quarter of 1846.

However, at the furthest, the ship is expected to be floated off on Saturday next, perhaps a day or too sooner, if the ebbing of the tides will en able the workmen to proceed with the tightening of the vessel more expeditiously.
