FRIIAL3 Osman ASYLIIM.—The guardians of
this institutios held their quarterly meeting yester-
day at the ',glum, Westminater-road. lir. George
Smith occupied the chair. The secretary reed the re-
port, which stated, amongst other things, that cue-
siderable savings had been made in respect of the
chapel, and that the morning and evening preashers bad
connected to a reduction of each of their salaries by 501. a
year. A guardian having moved the adoption of the report,
Mr. Clark moved an amendment to the effect that it be
amended so far an referred to the malarial of the clergymen.
Although it was said that these gentlemen had voluntarily
relinquished this amount, it was • fact that great rowan
bad been put on them to induce them to take
this step. They should remember that these gentle-
, men could not perform the duties for ever, and that
' when they left, no competent man would accept
the position for so paltry a salary. Mr. Howes supported
the report. The Rev. Mr. Curling hoped the amendment
would be withdrawn. It was quite true that pressure of •
most unjust character had been put upon himself and the
other clergyman ; in fact, he might say •• Oesepiney bad
been entered into to get rid of him, and he had bean threat-
ened with being turned out. For the sake of peace he had
given up 501. a year ; he hoped the desired object would be
attained. After some further dimension, the amendment
was negatived, and the 'sport adopted. Mr. Howes moved
that owing to the crowded state of the neighbourhood it was
desirable to remove the inetitution to the suburbs. The
Rev. Mr. Cattley seconded the motion, which was carried.
and • committee sppointed to consider the beet means of
carrying it out. Votes of thanks were passed to the morn-
ing and evening preachers for their services and their like.
relay in giving up a portion of their income.

BINICAMILOMiATION.--It will be learnt with no
little interest in banking cirelee that the old and well -known
bank of Loyd, &Wale, and Co., of Manchester (formerly
Moan. Loyd and Co.), is about to cease as • separate esta-
blishment, mad is to be amalgamated with the Manchester
and Liverpool District Bank. The arrangements us all
but completed, if net finally arThlllo4 and it is expected
that circular' will be honed in a day or two formally an-
nouncing the event. The cease for this step is said to be
the precarious health of several of the leading partners of
the firm. The beak was established in lin an 7sunPf•-
vimisly to that of Sir Beojamin Heywood and Co., aid we
believe the firm was thee Jones and Co., bat subse-
quently, on the marriage of Mr. Lewis Loyd (at that
time a unitarian minister in Manchester) with line
Jones, that gentleman became • member of the
firm, and it was carried on coder the name of
Jones, Loyd, and Co. The bank in London was established
subsequently to the one in Manchester. The late Mr.
Edward Loyd, who was so long the head of the Ilanobarter
firm, and who was about twenty years yonnpr than his
elder brother, Mr. Lewis Loyd, did not join the firm till
some years later, Mr. Entwile became • partner is the
firm cooperatively recently, after** withdrawal of the
late Mr. Edward Loyd. The history of the firm in well
known. With it commenced • imam far in advance of
country tanking up to the period of its establishment. and
for many years it has etnleyed as amount of credit which
planed in the first ran aid so doubt many people, from
the associations =nee with it, will hoar of the (imago
gore aaaosaopi with fooling, of mint.
