no one being inclined to send him as a representa-
tive to parliament He has now at last been
elected, through the influent* of a friend, in a
place where not a soul knew him. There were
many reasons for the unpopularity of this glib but
shallow public speaker ; but the chief reason was
the hostility he displayed last year against Cavour
in order to serve Rattazzi. In the chamber he
never had the least weight, and his absence last
session was felt by all to be a relief.

Signor Manna, the minister of the King of
Naples, and Baron Winspeare, ambassadors ex-
traordinary to our government, arrived here at
2 o'clock this afternoon. Signor Cturofari
was waiting for them at the railway station, they
got into his carriage and were driven to the Europa.
Who represents the King of Naples, Manua or
Canofari ? Just as with you, Count Ludolf or the
Marquis La Grecs. Will they be spies on each
other or trust each other 1 Which of the two will
be the dupe 1 Time will show ; and, frankly
speaking, I hope both will be dupes. The King of
Naples ought by this time to have neither ministers
nor ambassadors ; he ought, like other Bourbons,
to be on his tray e, and not death, being
the punishment that civilised society now humanely
wishes to see inflicted upon tyrants.

year,which has been caused partly hr the adverse
state of the exchanges, but cilia). IV the course
which the colonial managers have thought it most desirable
to adopt during a period of severe coinruercial depression, by
endeavouring to limit their transactions to those of the
safest character, rather than seeking to extend operations at
a time when more than ordinary risks would be incurred.
The result of this policy is so far satisfactory, that the
amount of loss sustained by the bank, through the re-
cent disasters in Australia, has been unimportant.
The directors recommend that the balance of
14,654/. 4s. ld. be appropriated as follows, viz.:—
To the payment of a dividend at the rote of 5 per cent. per
&Daum free of income-tax, on 500,0001., the paid-up capital
of the liank, 12,5001. Towards the reduction of the amounts

furniture accounts, 1,0001., leaving 6541. 4s. Id. to be added
to the reserved fund, which will then amount to 19,5851. la.

The (Mantuan, in moving the adoption of the report,
observed that, owing to the depression which had been
felt in the colony during the last six months, they had done
less business, and their profits had been proportionately
leas. It was better, however, under all circum-
stances that they should measure success by
disasters avoided rather than by business done.
They would, moreover, see that the directors were enabled
to recommend the same amount at dividend as at the last
meeting, after making the usual allowances to meet every
change. He trusted that, with the revival of con-
fidence, and having their own resources about them,
they would he in a position to avail themselves
of the improved state of things. They ruffed bear in mind
that, as regarded dividend, this was nut the only bank
where the result was mot so satisfactory as it might be, and
moreover lie should tell them that the bad accounts
they had received were of a reassuring character.
He had therefore little doubt that after the
temporary check they had experienced, they should /10011
be able to make more complete progress, and to declare a
letter dividend thou they had yet dour. He moved that
the report be adopted, and the dividend, as recommended
therein, be payable on and after the 30th instant.
Mr. Mettetisu inquired whether any thing had been done
towards auerringement of the debt amounting to 11,0004
claimed from the Royal Mail Steam Company.
Mr. BORRODAILg a director, said they could out tell the
proprietors at present when the case would be adjudicated ;
but he thought he might say it would not conic before
the court until the early part of the ensuing spring. In the
meantime the examination of witnesses was going on.
The report was then adopted, and the meeting separated.

ME. W. SAN DAY'S RAM SHOW.-011 Tuesday,
Mr. Sanday, one of the meat celebrated sheep breeders in
England, held his annual ram-letting and show at his reel:-
dem*, Moline House, near Holute Pierrepont. The attend.
ance was as large as usual, comprieiug some of the most
nrted breeders in the midland counties, and a few from all
parts of England. We understand the none did not realise
such high prime as lust year, the shearlinp only being
in good demand. The sum of 1,140 guineas was about
the aggregate amount realised. —.Wortley/en ni Journal.
THE VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT AT DARLINGTON.-..
Darlington has at last decided to take part in the rifle
volunteer movement. Some of the iuliabitants, fired with
military enthusiasm, and resenting the calm and peaceful
iudueoce of the Society of Friends, whose metropolis Dar-

question fur some time, but could never muster sufficient
courage to call &public meeting or ovally to ewers their
admiration of the movement and their wish to juin it.

perhaps more than half the torruspeople are Quakers, or

amateur soblierism thought they could count on a cut-
