satisfactory description, no less than 2,611 new deposits
having been made in the last year ; 23,308 deposit ac-
counts remained open on the 20th of November last, of
which 17,836 held balances averaging less than 301.08.3 d.
each. The sum in the hands of the Government on the
20th of November, 1853, as per receipt from National

THE TAYLEUR.—A letter from Douglas, Isle of Man,
dated the 31st ult., says that during the two previous
days a large quantity of wreck had been washed on the
south shore of the island, at Langness Point, St. Mary,
the Sound of the Calf, and Port Erin, consisting of new
planks, deals, and battens, to the number of about 1000;
also several empty packages, some marked with the name
of " Tayleur ;' also a cask of oil, capable of holding
about 36 gallons, and the mark "N. R. G. in in a dia-
mond, and a large case lid or door, marked " A. H. M.
—36 ;" also a box lid, with "G. Betts, ship Tayleur,
Melbourne ;" also a mahogany table, with the name
" Archibald M. Lam." No doubt exists as to their
being part of the wreck of the unfortunate Tayleur, and
they have consequently been secured for the benefit of
the underwriters.
LONDON AND COUNTY JOINT-STOCK BANK.—The or-
dinary general meeting of the proprietors of the London
and County Joint-Stock Bank was held yesterday. The
balance sheet exhibited a net profit upon the business of
the establishment for the past half-year, after making
ample provision for bad and doubtful debts, of 33,2561.
13s. 5d., which, with 8,5201. 4s. 3d. brought forward
as a surplus on the half-year ending the 30th of June,
gives a total of 41,776/, 17s. Bd. From this amount the
directors carry 13,2381. 4s. 3d. to the credit of the re-
serve fund, thereby increasing it to 58,9031. ss. 10d.
Upon the recommendation of the directors a dividend
at the rate of 6 per cent, per annum for the past
half-year was declared, with a bonus of 4 per cent.
(equal to a 10 per cent. dividend on the year), both free
of income tax, This left the sum of 1,3421. 7s. 9d.,
which the proprietors, acting upon the recommendation
of the board, decided should be thus applied—viz., 3831.
14s. 61, being 1 per cent. on the year's dividend, to
the credit of the provident fund, and 9581. 13s. 3d. added
to the guarantee fund. The guarantee fund now amounts
to 59,8611. 19s. ld. The meeting was afterwards made
special, when the resolution passed in the year 1840 at
a general meeting of the proprietors, reducing the capital
of the company from the amount of 2,000,0001., as fixed
by the deed et settlement, to 1,000,0001., and the num-
ber of shares from 40,000 to 20,000, was rescinded. The
retiring directors were re-elected.
ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON.—At a monthly
general meeting held yesterday at the society's house in
Hanover-square, Mr. W. J. Broderip, vice-president, in
the chair, Captain G. C. Morgan and Messrs. F. C.
Morgan, T. Reynolds, H. C. James, G. C. Schutz, and
H. B. Quick were elected Fellows of the society ; and
Messrs. T. C. Thompson, F. R. Lee, J. St. G. Burke,
H. Ingram, John Hawkshaw, H. Rosher, J. H. Lewis,
J. Lambert, R. N. Newcomb, R. Crosby, E. C. Hamp-
ten, and M. H. Pasteur were proposed as candidates for
the fellowship. The report of the council announced,
among other interesting facts, that another leucoryx and
another Eland fawn had been produced in the menagerie.
The herd of Elands bequeathed to the society by the late
Earl of Derby have thus increased to eight in number in
the course of the last 12 months. The collection of
carnivora received yesterday a most important and
striking addition in the pair of Indian lions which have
been presented by Sir Erskine Perry, the l
Justice of Bombay. These are the first specimens of
this animal (felis goojeratensis) which have ever been in
the possession of the society ; and the species has now
become so rare in India that they have been procured
with the greatest difficult. The society is indebted to
Sir Henry
}Lesko for the favour of their transmission
from Bomay t Suez, whence they were despatched
oyerland through Alexandra.
