Pursuant tow advertisement in the local journals,

and concerns d the company, and also a assenting to, or

art the eceepeny nada the Joint-stock Campania Act Of
1867, and oleo of taking into consideration such Oboe mea-
sures as a the premed circumstances of the Bank may be
deemed advisable. Mr. WUkisan Rainbow, chairmen of the
board of directors, occupied the chair. There were
103 holding 36,664 hares, end amiss were =re
37_pereos, 21,887 shares.
The asps takes Ince the ettspeadon of the bank ware de-
tailed by the chanson, and approved of by the d
it being staled that depositors to the extent of one=olndea

It wee then moved by Mr. A. B. Smacker, and seconded
by Mr. 8. Martin, " That the banking company celled the

On thematlan of Mr. H. Raba, ft was neolved unsai-
mealy, " That the thanks of theme due and an

ate servals, and that they be requested to canna to ren-

On the maim of Mr. 'indicant, seconded by Mr. J. Crop-
yet, haw molted tuuninionaly, " That this misting begrieved1111 Thurelay, the 12th inst., at two o'clock, err
the purpose of allowing the company to be registered In the
memanse seder the Joint Stock Banking Companies Act of
1867, and upon such reghnation being effected., to meta
from the directors a statement of the admire and cements of
the company, and to take into consideration the peopristy of
windbaup voluntarily under the provide= of the said set,
or of Wong such other proceedings as might be downed =-
patent."
The meeting was conadared private, and the foregoing
accounts are of official origin. We gather from other somas
that, in answer to.sonne queetions put at the meeting, it was
stated that not a male penny of the bank funds had been
lost through the personal proceedings of the directors, or the
relatives or 001111BIJODB of the directors.
The meeting wee throughout most harmonious, and the
whole proceedings did not occupy more than forty minutes.

The returns now exhibit that increase in the
mortality which usually begins in the lithium& of the year.
In the present instance the lactase' is conaiderable : the
deaths registered in London, which in the two preceding
week* were 988 and 1.047, having risen in the week that
ended last Saturday (November 7th) to 1,166. In the ten
years 1847-66 the average number of deaths in the weeks
comemonding with last week was 1,039. But population
has iniesseed, and the same rale of mortality would have
produced last week 1,143 deaths. The actual number Is
slightly la cram of the estimated number, a result which is
not so tavoarable as than that have been recently obtained.
The births returned In the woe week exceed the deaths
by 516.
In comparing the deaths now returned with those of the
former week, and distributing the ages at death in five vicen-
Weds, it will sprier that the increase above mentioned
occurred in every period except that which extends from 40
to 60 year. Amongst permits 60 ern old and upwards the
deaths Jemmied from 1311 to 250. From diseases of the
reigestory organs (exclusive of hooping-cough and phthisia)
the number of pee sus who died at all ages in the previous
week was 190; last week it was 261. Influenza showed

TRADE Or NolamlCß.—The failure of mercantile
Lwow has &Meta the wholesale boot and shoe trade in
Norwich to a considerable extant. Many large orders have
been cenntsmusnded, and some manufacturers have very
little employment for the operatives. One firm, however,
has obtained a kegs contrast for the supply of the Mflitis,
gad ell the hands that an be got are required to supply the
large quantity dawn's goods now wanted by the govern-
ingat. At this MKS .1 the year the trade b always dull
for the supply of woman's geode, the demand being I for
the hem market. fast at present there la no great demand
for woman's goods, either in the American or colonial mar-
kets. The mills are still In full work in the production of
allk, woollen, and mohair yarns. A new wholesale firm has
commenced busineu in the silk trade. Manufacturers of
the textile fabrics are very busy tn goods for the

THE at."A l AND IRON TRADES.—There is a ma-
rina apprehension that the present disastrous commercial
panic in America will operate injuriously upon the iron
trade, and in time affect the demandfor coals as well. That
ocean, has been for long one of the largest consumes of
our metals, and the sudden cessation of demand will be
severely felt in many districts. In South Wales, several
large works are almost entirely dependent on the United
States market, and although in some cues the =tracts un-
dertaken before the present crisis are sufficiently extensive to
keep the astablishmenta at work, yet the proprietors feel
themselves in a very nude position. In Sheffield the steel
trade hoe suffered considerably, but neither Stafford/hire nor
the north of England have, as yet, been involved to any seri-
ous extent, Omagh the high rate of disconnt and the diffi-
culty of obtaining money, operates greatly to the prejudice of
all connected with the staple trades of these districts. There

THE BRIGHTON Excnasiorz SEASON.—The ex-
cursion 11111•311 en our railway being now brought to a does,
It in only right that we should congratulate the directors upon
the succor which has attended it, and compliniant them for
the excellence as well as the liberality of their arrangement..
During the meson just closed these excursion took a much
wider and more extensive scope than had been the practice
on this railway, and not only included several additional
trains from the metropolis and adjacent populous districts,
but, for the first time as a system, radiated from Brighton
along the main line and its coast branched, and from those
several points to Brighton. The increased influx of visitors,
which was the natural consequence, conferred great and ma-
terial benefit upon our trading community for which its thanks
Sr. due—and we take the liberty of tendering them; and
we are gratified in being able to state that the company's
revenue has also materially benefited by the additional naM
developed by these mean'. Not a single accident or contre-
temps deny knit accurred though several thousands of pee-
gurwees conveyed.—BrigAton Guardian.
NEW CHURCH FOR BRIGHTON.—On Sunday
morning, at Bt. Paul's Church, West-street, the Rev.
Arthur Wagner made an announcement to the congregation
which took them somewhat by surprise. He said that St.
Paul's our only built for the poor, and that oft its seats
should have been free rats, but owing to uncontrollable
c.treumetanom the poor did not get the tree mats. The rev.
gentleman added that it was_ eed to ern a small church

THE Naw BRIDGE AT CHELSE.A.—The Times of
this morning gives a description of the new bridge at
Chelsea, which has long been in coarse of construction, and
will shortly be opened Imes public traffic. The following de-
tails will sated en Men et a structure, considered by the
water to be, in point el Leign the moat elegant and orna-
mental that has yet egema,M the Thames :—" Two towers

cornice of the towers, the parapet of the bridge,
and the light rail which divides the footpath from
the road seed of the same pleasing ornamental kind,
and in keeping with the main features of the design. Be-
tween the river walls at Trinity high-weiter line the total
length of the bridge is 704 feet, of which the centre arch oe

pension cluing hung are each 88 feet in length and 19 in

small when compared with the other bridges of the metro-
polis. The new structure when opened will communicate
with the new path at Battersea, and afford the public an ac-
commodation long needed at that part of the river.
CHRISTIANITY IN INDIA.—On Monday afternoon
a public meeting WY held In Queen-street Hall, Edinburgh,
for the roper of Arming, In connection with the present
Indian Crisis, an emaciation for the removal of all govern-
ment encouragement of caste, connection with idolatry, and
opposition to the profession and the promulgation of Chris-
tianity in the East. There was a pretty largo attendance,

derson, Dr. Tweedis, Rev. Mr. Robertson Rev. Mr. Lewis
(Leith), D. Maclages, Bev. Mr. Hardie, dm. One of the
resolutions adopted was to the effect that, for the purposes of
inquiry, deliberation, and action, an association be formed in
Edinburgh, to subsist so long es it may be needed for the end
in view and that the said association or its committee be
authorised to take immediate steps for promoting the esta-
blishment of similar associations all over Soothed, so that,
if it shall be deemed expedient a national movement and
demonstration in this greet cause might be made; that
the association is not to form a new mission, but to aid In
the evangelirtion of India by protesting against all govern-
ment countenance of caste, connection with idolatry, and
opLontion to the profession and propagation of Christianity.
