ST. MARYLEBONE BANK FOR SAVINGS.
The Bth annual general meeting of this institution was he,l
on Thursday the 22d of this month, at the office, No.
Welbeck-street, Cavendish-square, the Rev. J. H. Spry, D. A.'"
in the chair. It appeared from the several reports read to the
meeting that the progress of this Bank continues to be of a
very rapid description ; no less than 2,797 new deposits har-
ing been made in the last year. 9,947 deposit accounts re-
mained open on the 20th of November last, of which no less
than 4,435 held balances averaging only 1/. Is. 10d. each ;
upwards of 155,7001. was then invested with the Commis-
sioners for the Reduction of the National Debt. This amount
has since risen to 164,3091., and is rapidly on the advance.
The continued evidence this affords of the strong and grow-
ing disposition of the working classes to provide against the
casualties of life will prove a source of gratification to all re-
flecting minds.
Vice Admiral Sir Robert Waller Otway, Com-
mander-in-Chief at the Nore, has appointed Lieut. klenry
Payne Gallwey to be his Flag lieutenant, vice Lieut. Teary"
son D'Eyncourt.
Sir James Graham, the newly-elected Member for
Pembroke boroughs, arrived in Grosvenor-place last evening:•
accompanied by his brother, Captain Graham,
R. N., from Sir
John Owen's scat, Orielton, near Pembroke, to take the oaths
and his scat.
Great expedition is making, at Sheerness in fitting
out of the Hastings 74, the late flag-ship of Vice-Admiral Sir
William Hall Gage, the late commander-in-chief in the
Tagus; that vessel having been ordered to convey the Earl
and Countess of Durham, family and suite, to Quebec. The
Hastings, commanded by Captain Lock, is expected to be
ready for sea in five weeks.
Mr. Fox Manic (during the exclusion of strangers
on Thursday on account of the ballots) took the oaths and his
seat for the Elgin district of Burghs.
It is estimated that the sum required to build a new
Royal Exchange, fire-proof, on the heat plan, would be about
160,000/.

STEAM-BOAT ACClDENT.—Yesterday morning*
about ten o'clock, an Ipswich vessel, a sloop, laden with a vain-
able cargo, was coming up with the tide, and, for the porn°
of bringing up, was hanging on to a warp, made fast to a tier
of vessels nearly off the Custom- House, when the Diamond, 11
Gravesend steamer, also coming up at full speed, was put by
by a barge, and ran into the vessel, cutting a piece out of 11e1
bowsprit, and effecting other damage. Before the ship bat'
well recovered from this shock the Naiad, a Woolwich steamers
came up at full speed, and ran upon the vessel right in mid:
ships with tremendous force, carrying away six stanchions ana
the bulwarks. The steamers, after clearing the sloop, wl
on, and it was for some time feared that the vessel which ha
sustained so much damage would go down. The crew of a
Thames police-galley went on board to offer their assistance,
and ultimately the sloop was moored in a secure berth by her
crew, some of whom narrowly escaped being killed when the
steamers struck the vessel. Two other accidents, arising from
collisions with steamers, have occurred this week.
By the last accounts the public at Madrid were
giving themselves up to all the gaities of the Carnival•
though the weather was dreadful, and snow had fallen in
abundance.
