HER MAJESTY'S SHIP CAMILLA.

ADMIRALTY, JAN. 14.
From the amounts received at the Admiralty by
the hat China mail, there seems to be little doubt
that her Majesty's ship Csmilla must have foundered
at sea. It appears that she left Hakodadi on the
Ist of September, for Kanagawa, the port of Yeddo,
and that between that day and the 9th of Sept.,
the day on which the heavy gale passed over Yeddo,
light southerly winds prevailed, so that she had
not probably made much progress to the south
when lost. Her Majesty's steam vessel Berenice,
of the Indian navy, proceeded along the cosat from
Kanagawa to Hakodadi and back, between the 24th
of September and 11th of October, but failed in
procuring any intelligence of the Camilla from the
numerous fishing-boats, or in discovering any por-
tion of the wreck. A report had reached Vice-
Admiral Hope that the unfortunate vessel was
seen from a Prussian vessel of war to strike on a
ruck in a fresh breeze and go down. This report
would be traced to its source ; but the admiral is
firmly convinced that she foundered at sea in the
typhoon which prevailed on the Japanese coast on
the 9th of September.

Prince Joachim Murat has returned to Paris
from hie mission of condolence to Berlin.

Thr Lombardia announces that King Victor
Emmanuel will go to Milan on the 11th of next mouth, and
stay there a week.
A Turin letter in the Indipendance affirms that
the French nod, on leaving Gaeta, will go to ermine in the
Adriatic, "in order to relieve the Malkin fleet of the pain-
ful duty of acting against Garibaldi, in ease he should
persist in making an expedition against Venetia."

" The religious question,"says a correspondent
of the Independance Beige, "beocsoes every day MOM en-
venomed in France. I am told that in a central depart-
ment on the borders of La Vendie the bishop, instead of
paying a New Year's visit to the prefect, as the custom is,
contented himself with sending hie card. The prefect wish-
ing to shut his eyes to the slight, called upon the bishop
shortly afterwards, and, in the oourse of conversation said
he regretted not to have been at home when the latter did
him the honour to come to the prefecture. Thereupon the
bishop told him plainly that he had merely sent his card
because he did not wish to see him. The prefect asked the
reason, but the sturdy prelate refused to give soy exPl46B-
tions, leaving the civil functionary to put his own inter-
pretation upon the conduct complained of. .A few days
later the bishop gave a grand official dinner to which be
did not ask the prefect ; and thereupon the latter ass met
fur to Paris by telq-raph, to confer with ministers upcn the
event."

The CHAIRMAN. in moving the adoption of the report and
balance-sheet, said the account. showed a continuous pros.
porous condition of the hank. The profits of the last half-
year exceeded by several thousand pounds those of any
previous half-year. The item of 24,548/. for current
expenses, bad debts, he., included the loss occasioned by
the failure of Messrs Streatfeild and Mortimer.. At
the last meeting he said it was calculated the loss would
be about eight or nine thousand pounds. But at that time
the directors thought they were dealing with honourable
and unfortunate traders. They had no idea that they were
dealing with unscrupulous trader,' • he might almost
say reckless and dishonest, because what had taken
place showed that they were indeed both recklese and die.
honest. (Hear.) Happily for the character of the English
merchant, such conduct was very rare. When the failure at
Messrs. Streatfeild and Mortimere took place, the directors,
having bills with not only their names, but several others,
indorsedupoc them, all thought that they would have fair
and honest dividend out of the estate. But when they
found that men issued bills with indorsements
and acceptances while they well knew that they were
themselves the only parties answerable for those bill; the
acceptances and indorsements being mere mattem of accom-
modation, he must say such conduct was so dishonest that
the directors could not suppose that they had such men to
deal with. (Hear, bear.) He said this to account for there
being a much larger loss than they bad expected. That loss
the board now estimated at 17,0001., and the
bad debt. of the half year, including that
amount, were only 17,2501. Except this there
was nothing that was not matter for congratulation. The
conduct of these men had been so bad that he hoped this
session of parliament would not pas—sod, indeed, he did
not think it would—without that which was now only a
moral fraud beingmade a criminal fraud, so that men who
had been guilty of such improprieties and each dishonesty
aught find themselves in their proper plies—namely, at
Newgate. (Cheers.) As regarded the
of the mot year it was remarkable Ler=
had been no less than 11 fluctuations in the
Bank of England rate of interest, to which be might add
that during that period this country had paid 22,800,0001.
for food imported from abroad. That was, he might
remark, the only intditock bank which had no
branch, and perhaps this was an advantage,
inasmuch as it enabled the direetom to devote their whole
time and energies to the development of the business in a
central position. (Hear, bear.)
The motion having been seconded by Mr. Btu., was,
without any discussion, unanimously agreed to, after which
the dividend recommended was declared.

On the motion of Mr. Aldermen ABIIIIIB, thanks Were
then toted to the dilarDIAUl and directors.

A similar compliment was also paid to the manager, Mr.
White, and to tue auditors, after which the meeting sopa.

The ettantmatt, in moving the adoption of the report
and accounts, congratulated the proprietors that, notwith-
standing the difficulties of the /net half-year, they were
enabled to divide the same amount as before, and to
carry forward • balance.
Mr. Homenisox seconded the motion.
Mr. FISHER could not understand why it was that a bank
which had been so long established, and whose stability
was so undoubted, obtained no increase of dividend, though
ether banks had made great progress. He bad been told
that there was a want of adequate accommodation.
The CHAIRMAN said be really could not understand why 4
the bank had not progressed more. All he could say was. I
that they had been more subjected to the consequences
of mischief and angry feeling than some other banks. lbe
directors did all in their power to augment the business;
and he could not help thinking that if the shareholders
exerted themselves more, the result would be better.
Mr. Jattita CLAY, LP., a director, was certain the
bank mold not suffer from the most open discussion. It had •
been amused that the bank did not get on, but that was not
the fad. Two years ago it paid ally 8 per sent. ; it then paid
7 per cent., and it now paid 8 par cent. ; and he thought it
possible that the dividend would continue to increase.
A SHAINHOLDER said the bon. gentleman bail torgotton
to mention that the bank at one time paid 11 per cent.
Mr. FISHER had nut intended to complain of the system
of management ; what be wanted was, that the public
should be convinced of the stability of the bank, and appre-
ciate its merits. _ _

The motion wa. then adopted, and a dividen I at t'a• rate
of 8 per cent. per annum declared.
Thanks were then voted to the director*, t., the
manager, Mr. (MIMI, and the meeting terminated.

The nerrlage took place at St. Saviour's, Southwark. on

ANOTHER FATAL ACCIDENT ON rim LONDON
AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY:

BOX MOOR, TVISDAT Nolurnia.

Thi• morning, shortly after eight o'clock, a fatal
accident took place near this station on the above liae et
nuiway. The down lrieh mail trails, kiwis( the Euston
station at 7.23 a.m., and which does not stop till i
it flinches Rigby at 9.25, was proceeding at its
aortal sate of speed as it neared this station, when
the engine: driver, who was keeping • good look oat ahead,
perceived several plate layers at work upon the line.
He at once gave the customary danger signal, but
the men who, had they paid the slightest at-
tection to the instructions given to them, would have
had ample time to get on the "six foot," which is the
spice ►etween the up and down lines of mile, appeared
to be anoonsciona of the approach of the train until the
engine was upon them. The buffer struck one of the men,
and indicted spas him such fearful injaries that his death
moat have been iosteetaneons. The name of the anforta-
mate Mal ham not vet been ascertairied. Hu mangled
remains were picked up after the train had pasted
Will conveyed by his fellow workmen to an ad-
joining public-house, to await the holding of the
coroner's inquest. Another of the plate-layers wee also
struck by the engine, and so severely injured that it is
doubtful whether he will recover. There seems to be no
blame attributable to the driver of the train, who, en his ar-
rival at Rugby, was corroborated in his statement that he
sounded the danger signal in sualcient time for the men
to have got clear of the hue. It is • remarkable fact
that although thaw men are almost daily warned of the
danger of not keeping • good look-out, and that the en.
gioe-drivers, k•owiug where the plate-layers are at work,
keep their eyes directed towards inch spots, and give the
" getout-of•the-way" whistle, t►ey frequently, when the
swim is running perhaps at the rate of forty miles en hour,
absolutely crawl off the line when the train is within •
couple of hundred or even • hundred yards from them-cr,
in other words, a few seconds only before the engine panes
them.

DEATH OT Di. PIAELET.—We very much regret
that it is our duty this week to record the death of Dr-
Plomley. The deceased had been for nearly twenty year. a
resident in Maidstone ; and kis quiet and genii =nary man.
nem and plates:it and instructive conversational powers bad
made him a general favourite. He may be said to have
heeu at the Lead of the few really scientific men we
have in this neighbourhood, and his reputation was not
ioronsiderahle in the general circle, of science. He was a
fellow of the Lineman. of the Geographical, and of other
leerned moieties, and his success as an observer in several
branches of natural philosophy had won for him a high
name. His collection of Kentish birds which adorns the
museum of Dover was one of the most complete ever made.
