LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY, Four o'clock.
FROM PARIS.

We have received our Paris letters of last evenini
The Augsburg Gazette of the Bth gives som
farther particulars relating to the emeutes at Milan.
on the authority of a letter dated Milan, on the lird
alt. Although this is antecedent to the dates we have
already given, there are some details worth men-
tioning. According to these letters the police
attempted in vain, on the 2nd, to prevent the people
from insulting the Soldiers, who smoked cigars.
tie hissed and hooted them. The soldiers
their swords, and several persons were
wounded. A squadron of dragoons wall then
milled out, and the people were charged by
them. Twenty pei sons were wounded. Among
the military an officer and two cadets were
wounded. At 11 o'clock p.m. (2nd), tranquillity was
re-established. Attempts are made to induce the people
to abstain from putting money into the lottery. The
coachmen have formed a combination,the object of which
is to prevent any driver from driving their masters to
the palace, or to the governor's, or to Count Fiquel
Mont's. if they are discharged for refusing, the club
supports them until they can obtain another situation.
Rich and influential persons have taken an active part
in this affair. Another Milan letter, dated the 4th,
lays that the disorders had continued.
Since the above was written, we learn that advice,
have been received, that tranquillity has been restored!
at Milan. It is, however, the tranquillity of deter-
mination, and not of despair. The people have dis-
covered the secret of passive resistance. Innu-
merable manuscript billets were scattered about
the streets, bearing the following instructions to
the people: " Courage! Turbulent and inconsi-
derate zeal would be destructive to us! Beware of
being drawn into the snares laid for you by the
police! Learn to put restraint on yourselves. This
will be evidence of your terength. At present main-
tain tranquillity and dignity !"

Letters from Madrid of the 6th say that the great-
est excitement aid fermentation was produced by the
violent altercation which took place in Congress be-
tween MM. Pidal and Salamanca (which we have
already reported), and that a duel would probably be
the consequence. M. Salamanca was so affected by
the charges made against him by M. Pidal, that he
was confined to bed by severe indisposition on the 6th.
A still more stormy debate was expected on the ith.
News had been received of the arrival of General
Espartero at St. Sebastian, and his arrival at Madrid
was expected daily. The General had declined those
honours and salutations which bad been offered to him.

LONDON JOINT-STOCK BANK.
The half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors
of this Bank was held this day at the parent establishment in ,
Princes-street. The proceedings having been opened by the
reading of the fallowing report (the 21st) :
"It will be seen from the accompanying statement of the ,
affairs of the Bank, that daring the six months ending the
31st ultimo, a net profit of 23,8471. 14s. 9d. has been realised,
which, with the undivided profits, amounting to
16,6631. le. Gd., brought forward from the preceding half-year,
makes a total of 40,3101. 168. 3.1., and enables the directors
to declare the usual dividend, after the rate of six pounds
per rectum per annum ; and also a bonus of seven shillings
and sixpence per share, both free from income•tax, leaving a
mall balance of 101. 16s. 3d., which has been carried to the
credit of the guarantee fund, together with interest thereon,
in conformity with the provisions of the deed of settlement,
whereby that fund in augmented to 123,7591. Is. 7d.
" The shareholders cannot but be aware that the pe-
riod embraced by these accounts was one of extraordinary dif-
eulty and derangement in the commercial and monetary
affairs of the country, and the numerous failures which have
occurred in almost every branch of trade will have prepared
them for the unusual amount of the item in the statement
of profit and loss, which comprises the losses by ' bad debts ;'
indeed the dirce•ors feel confident that, viewed with refer-
ence to the severity of the late crisis, their participation in
the disaster* of the peat six months will be regarded as less
than could have been anticipated, and the result of their
operations as a subject of congratulation.
" The directors have, however, to inform the shareholders
that the above-mentioned item also includes a loss of 6,0001.,
which they regret to say the Bank has sustained by the de- 1
falcation of one of their clerks on the establishment of the
Western Branch, now under prosecution.
" By the estab:ished rotation, the directors who now retire
are Sir George Carroll, Alderman; William James Lancas-
ter, Esq. • J. Christopher Lochner, Esq. ; Sir J. M'Teggart,
Bart., M.P., and George Scholefield, Esq., who offer them-
selves for re-election; and William Blount, Esq., a duly
qualified shareholder, has also given notice that he is a can-
didate for a scat in the direction.
" The dividend and bonus will be payable on and after the
21st ins'ant."

XIR. FO6TER (Chairman), having first declared a dividend
of 6 per cent. per annum for the half-year ending the 31st
ult., and a further dividend of 7s. 6d. per share on the 60,000
charts, moved that the report be received.
A SHAREHOLDER demanded to know whether any security
had been taken with the clerk who was a defaulter.
The CHAIRMAN said that there had, and fur the usual
amount, but that 6,000!.wes the less estimated after deducting
the amount of security, and some available property. The
Chairman then observed, that although the first item in the
profit and Ices accoount wu extremely large, comparatively,
yet, considering that it included the loot by defalcation, con-
sidering also that the last 6 months was a period of extraordi-
nary commercial pressure, and of rain in many instances,
including several houses which were houses of undoubted
