LONDON AND COUNTY BANK.

That part of the proceedings at the annual meet-
ing
of this bank yesterday, which had reference to
the exertions made by the directors to promote the
interests of their clerks, certainly deserves more
than a passing notice at the present time, when the
ultra-utilitarian spirit of the age had tended some-
what to loosen those bonds of attachment which
ought to exist between capital and labour. It ap-
pears that the directors, in consequence of the
prosperous state of the bank, have determined to
give each of their clerks a bonus equivalent to 10
per cent. on his salary for the year. But this is not
all. Mr. J. Sadleir, the chairman has, with the
assistance of his colleagues, succeeded in carrying
out two ideas of his own, with the view of benefit-
ing' the officers in the bank in a still greater degree.
The old system of requiring clerks to give bonds of
fidelity from private friends or guarantee societies,
has been abolished, and there is substituted a plan
of mutual guaranteeship among themselves, each
contributing his share according to ascertained scales
to a fund out of which all losses through dishon-
esty will be made up. The maximum amount is to be
fixed at 3,0001., and all the surplus beyond that is
to go towards the formation of a provident fund
for the assistance of aged or disabled clerks and
their families. To this latter fund Mr. Sadleir has
presented the munificent donation of 4,5001., and
it is anticipated that it will be further augmented
by subscriptions from other quarters. These three
most wise and judicious measures cannot but be
productive of much good, both as regards the clerks
and their employers. The abandonment of private
suretyship will release the former from a disagree-
able sense of obligation to friends, and relations ;
and the latter will find that, under the new
arrangement, all the clerks will have a per-
sonal interest in protecting the bank from any
species of peculation. Then the fact of there being
a provisionfor old age andfor the families of deceased
members of their body will relieve the minds of
the clerks from that harassing anxiety which po-
verty in prospect for themselves and those depend-
ant on them, is sure to occasion ; and thus they
will enter upon their various duties with cheerful-
ness and goodwill, and unclouded by any feeling
of despondency as to the future.

ecial favourite of

PENINSULAR MAILS.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-
ship Madrid, Captain John Weeks, with the mails
from Gibraltar, Spain, and Portugal, in charge of
Lieutenant Scriven, R.N., Admiralty agent, ar-
rived at Southampton yesterday afternoon. The
following are her dates of sailing : Gibraltar, Jan.
25 ; Cadiz, 26 ; Lisbon, 29; Oporto, 30 ; Vigo, 31.
She brought 22 passengers in all.
The freight of the Madrid consists of 9 packages
of specie, 75 cases eggs, 379 half-boxes and 99 ditto
tangerines oranges, 69 barrels and 10 cases dates,
four cases dried fruit, and 36 packages sundries.
Stations of her Majesty's Ships.—At Lisbon,
Jan. 29, her Majesty's ships Sanspereil and Inflex-
ibh. Gibraltar : The fleet under Vice-Admiral
Dundas, consisting of the Britannia, Trafalgar,
Albion, Bellerophon, Arethusa, and Niger steamer,
got under weigh on the morning of the 25th ult.,
for Malta, leaving her Majesty's ship Retribution at
Gibraltar, to proceed immediately with the dis-
patches, expected per Indus, Peninsular and
Oriental steamer, of the 20th, for Alexandria,
which vessel was passed off Tarifa, at 10 p.m.,
Jan. 25.

Ships observed on the voyage.—Off Oporto bar,
on the 30th, spoke the English steamer City of
Norwich.- The English ship Zetus, of Liverpool,
came into Vigo Bay on the 29th, having lost two
men overboard, and three with broken leg . from
the falling of the topsail-yard, while reefing.
From the long continued westerly winds up :yards
of 200 vessels were detained in Gibraltar, aid at
the back of the rock. Almost all of them got under
weigh on the afternoon of the 24th ; but were
obliged to return to the anchorage. Upwards of
150 vessels were at anchor east of the rock when
the Madrid left.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

THE PRESENT v. THE LATE BOARD.

We find it announced that the following changes are
contemplated by the present Admiralty :—" Mr. James
Wells is to be appointed to the situation of master smith
in Portsmouth dockyard. Mr. Cotsell is to return, as
master smith, to Chatham dockyard, whence he was
lately removed. Mr. Simile, who is at present acting
master smith at Chatham, is to return to Woolwich
dockyard as foreman, the situation from which he was
lately promoted."
We trust that there is no foundation for this an-
nouncement. We cannot believe that a new Board of
Admiralty would act so meanly as to reverse the decisions
of the former board, when the parties appointed are so
well known to be the most efficient men of their depart-
ment. We are disposed to give a fair trial to the new Board
of Admiralty, and to make_ every allowance for the
acts of men who are called upon to fulfil duties which
are strange to them, but we cannot tolerate such disre-
spect and contempt of the acts of the late board (of
which two officers of the present were members), and
such wanton abuse of power as would inflict injury on
such good and faithful dockyard officers as Messrs. Cot-
sell, Smile, and Co. For the sake of the civil service
we protest against such changes. On the behalf of the
dockyard men—not at this moment the least important
branch under the Crown—we protest against such in-
justice.

We trust the First Lord of the Admiralty will not be

the instrument of party revenge, or that he-will lay him-
self open to the charge of gross inconsistency by cancel-
ling the warrants of one or two honest, hardworking, and
deserving officers of the dockyard, and at the same time
wink at not only the undue promotion, but the premature
appointment of certain naval officers who are near con-
nections of the present board.—Morning Herald.

JAMAICA.

The yellow fever has been very severe in this
port among the shipping, but it is now going away.
There is a little sickness in Kingston ; but it is
now, on the whole, rather healthy. The small-pox
is still prevalent at San la Mar, but other places
are healthy. The Christmas holidays have passed
off quietly.

The Stirrey assizes opened on the 3d instant, but
not much doing. The soldiers of the Ist 'West India
Regiment, for riot in Kingston, will be tried in a
day or two.

The House of Assembly will meet on the 23d
instant. The expenses of the island will have to
be very much reduced, but it is expected that the
Council will pass no bills for that effect. The
weather is still warm, and the rains are not yet
over. The roads are in a very bad state.
The arrival of the West India mail steam-vessels
so irregularly is still a matter of complaint ; but it
appears useless to say anything, or to write, as so
little attention is paid to the colonies relative to
their complaints. _ '

The weather has been very much against the
planters, and the want of labour is severely felt ;
and the news from England relative to the sugar
question is very discouraging. It is expected a
poor crop will be made this year.
• The state of trade is very dull, and many mer-
chants are about retiring from this island. There
are several persons left here for Australia ,via New
York, and many more are getting ready for the
next opportunity.

At the date of the Trent's departure from Vera
Cruz it was generally supposed that Ariosto's Go-
vernment could not stand. Vera Cruz seconded
the revolutionary movement of Tampico on the
28th of December, and the towns of Jalapa, Oro-
zaon, and Cordova, joined as soon as the news was
received at these respective places. The principal
feature of the revolution is for the reduction of the
tariff and the removal of prohibitions. A commis-
sioner, representing the civil and military authori-
ties of Vera Cruz, came up in the Trent, on his
way to Carthagena, to invite Santa Anna to return.
Vera Cruz was generally healthy. A few cases of
cholera had occurred in the hospital, but the disease
was declining. Business throughout the country
was very dull, and all classes were anxious for a
change of government, hoping thereby to see busi-
ness in a more flourishing conition.
Fever was at length on the decline at Barbadoes,
but it still prevailed in force at Demerara, where
it had been necessary to place black captains and
black crews in some of the ships in the river.

was discovered to be on fire. The Tunbridge Wells fire-
engine was sent for, which arrived shortly after wards,
accompanied by Snpeiintendent Gilbert, Mr. Dadson,
and Serjeant Swift ; and through the exertions used, a
row of hopping houses and a pea-stack were saved ; but
the wheat-stack, containing about 25 quarters, was
totally destroyed. A searching investigation was made
by the officers as to the origin of the fire, and from what
they could glean there is no doubt of its being purposely
set on fire. Suspicions are entertained of the guilty
party, but we are not at present in a position to give
further particulars. Mr. Wightman insured.—Maicl-

MONTENEGRO.

The accounts from Montenegro are beginning to
assume a uniform character, in as far as regards
the conduct of the natives, who appear to defend
their mountain passes with success against treble
their numbers, and fight for their own with a fierce
heroism worthy of their forefathers. Nor is their
courage less remarkable in the plains. The at-
tempt of three Turkish generals, Omer Pacha,
Selim Bey, and Reis Pacha, to reach the heart of
the country by a simultaneous movement, appears
to have been a signal failure, no real impression
having been made as yet upon these indomitable
tribes. Their cause has received a check in the
southern district- of Czeminsko, where we read that
a force of 12,000 Turks, though repulsed at first,
had maintained a very favourable position taken up
on the heights of Carnghe against several desperate
attempts made by 2,000 of the enemy to drive
them across the frontier. On the 16th a combined
attack of cavalry and infantry was made upon the
small town of Grahovo, in the district of that name
bordering Montenegro on the north. The Wojvod
Wujatich (a special object of aversion with the
Turks on account of his Russian tendencies), with
40 of his followers, had turned his house into a
fortification, resolved to set it on fire sooner than
yield to the invader.
The telegraph now reports from Trieste that news
had arrived at Risano, in the Gulf of Cattaro, of the
destruction of Grahovo by fire. Eighteen of its de-
fenders—the brother of the Wojvod being one of
them—fought bravely to the last, and then perished
in the flames. What became of Wujatich is not
known. In spite of these reverses, nobody believes
for a moment that the independence of Montenegro
is endangered, or that the Turks, even if let alone,
will succeed in occupying the country ; nor is it
easy to see what advantage they would reap from
the conquest.
A correspondent of the Vienna Presse 'writes
from the Bocca di Cattaro, on the 17th :—" The
Turks are beaten everywhere. They are in great
force. Omer Pasha concentrated at Podgarizza
(one of the three border fortresses of Montenegro)
10,000 ' Nizams and 14,000 Rayahs. The
Pasha of Scutari left Antivari with 10,000 men,
including 4,000 Nizams ; while the Pasha of the
Herzegowin attacked the northern frontier with
8,000 men. They were everywhere driven back by
small numbers of the Montenegrins." Fire and
slaughter, it is added, mark the passage of the
Turks.

Austrian vessels of war, and land forces, are on
the spot to prevent the passage either way of
Turkish troops across the two strips of land belong-
ing to the Herzegowina, on the Adriatic coast.
A Vienna letter, of the 29th ult., states that the
Count de Leiningen, who has been sent by the
Austrian Cabinet on a special mission to Constan-
tinople, has received full powers to propose and
negotiate an arrangement between the Ottoman
Porte and the Montenegrins.

SOUTHAMPTON, FHB. 2.—The Royal Mail Company's
steam-ship Parana, Captain F. Woolley, with the West
India mails, in charge of Lieut. Barrow, left this after-
noon. She had a full care, and specie to the amount
cf 50,000/., 30,0001. of which was in five-franc pieces.
She had upwards of 30 passengers. The General Screw
Steam Shipping Company's steam-ship Queen of the

at Stokes Bay,
was as follows :

Spithead, and returned into dock in the afternoon. The

BLENHEIM DISPENSART.—The seventeenth anniver-

Owing to the great exertions of the stewards, it proved
to be one of the most delightful balls of the season.
Indeed, from its select character, nd the excellence of
the music provided, it has deservedly become a favourite
with the public. The supper and refreshments were
more than usually abundant, and there was.a general
expression of fear lest the liberality of the stewards
would prevent them realising much towards the funds of
the charity. No doubt, however, those present will

We have received the Madrid journals of the

the Syndicate of the Agents de. Change of Madrid,
praying for the re-establishment of time bargrins

in the public funds. They state in support of their
request that, with only cash transactions, they are
not able to support their expenses. The Espana,
the Clamor Publico, the Diario Espanol, and
the Nacion have been again seized.
The Gazette publishes the following paragraph
" We have been assured that several national poets
intend to dedicate an album or poetical crown to
her whom we persist in calling the Countess of

ITALY.

Intelligence has been received from Rome to the
24th ult. A discussion had arisen in the last secret
consistory of twenty cardinals on the exchange of
the duchy of Benevento. The affair is by no means
so far advanced as was supposed. The exchange
was proposed only as an eventuality, and as a ques-
tion on which it was desirable to have the opinion
of the cardinals. A rather small majority declared
in favour of the plan. The minority dwelt par-
ticularly on the smallness of the sum offered
by the King of Naples, which was at first re-
presented to be eight millions of piastres, but
is now s'cted to be only three millions. It is
consequently probable that a very considerable
time will elapse before the definitive conclusion
of this affair. The Council of State has at last pre-
pared a rather confused decree for the withdrawal
from circulation of the paper money. It had not
been as yet approved of by the Pope, and all that
had transpired concerning it in public did not meet
with any great favour. The King of Bavaria was
to remain in Rome until after the carnival. Count
de Spaur, his minister at Rome, was to give in hon-
our of his sovereign a grand ball costume, every one
at it being bound to appear in the attire of the age
of Louis XIV. M. de La Tour d'Auvergne had
resumed his functions as first secretary of embassy.
It was said that General de Cotte had asked for
leave of absence to make a journey to France.
It is stated in diplomatic circles that the real ob-
ject
of the Secret Consistory lately held at Rome,
and at which the cession of the Duchy of Bene-
vento to the Neapolitan Government was discussed,
was to take the opinion of the Cardinals as to the
propriety of the Pope's consenting to proceed to
Paris to crown the Emperor Napoleon. Of 21
Cardinals present, 18 are said to have given a de-
cided negative to the proposition.

ed term, it must be seen whether it is to expire, or
if there be a reversion to any member or mem-
bers of his family whom he would otherwise have
to provide for. It must, in fact, be discovered
whether a limited estate represents an estate of
inheritance or otherwise. These are matters re
quiring mature and attentive consideration. There
are unquestionably some difficulties to be encoun-
tered, but they may be overcome; and the people will
require that those in whom it reposes confidence
shall approach the matter in no craven spirit,
but that they shall evince a vigour and energy
befitting the administration of the affairs of a
mighty nation—of a SOVEREIGN on whose dominions
" the sun never sets."

JAMAICA.

The yellow fever has been very severe in this
port among the shipping, but it is now going away.
There is a little sickness in Kingston ; but it is
now, on the whole, rather healthy. The small-pox
is still prevalent at San la Mar, but other places
are healthy. The Chiistrnas holidays have passed
off quietly.
The Surrey assizes opened on the 3d instant, but
not much doing. The soldiers of the Ist West India
Regiment, for riot in Kingston, will be tried in a
day or two.

The House of Assembly will meet on the 23d
instant. The expenses of the island will have to
be very much reduced, but it is expected that the
Council will pass no bills for that effect. The
weather is still warm, and the rains are not yet
over. The roads are in a very bad state.
The arrival of the West India mail steam-vessels
so irregularly is still a matter of complaint ; but it
appears useless to say anything, or,to write, as• so
little attention is paid to the colonies relative to
their complaints. _

The weather has been very much against the
planters, and the want of labour is severely felt ;
and the news from England relative to the sugar
question is very discouraging. It is expected a
poor crop will be made this year.
The state of trade is very dull, and many mer-
chants are about retiring from this island. There
are several persons left here for Australia via New
York, and many more are getting ready for the
next opportunity.
