ST. AIARYLEBONE BANK roR SAYINGS, No. 76'
WELBECK- STREET, CAVENDISH• SQUARE. The nine-
teenth annual general meeting of this institution was
held on Friday, the 9th of this month, at the office,
No. 76, Welbeek. street, Cavendish square, the Right
Hon. the Earl Walder_gave in the chair. It appeared
from the several reports read to the meeting, that no less
than 2,070 new deposits had been made in the last year;
19,019 deposit accounts remained open on the 20th No-
vember last, of which no less than 14,455 held balances
averaging less than 31. 3s. id. each. Upwards of
291,3861. was then invested with the Commissioners for
the reduction of the National Debt. This amount has
since risen to 295,886/. 3s. 3d. The continued evidence
thus afforded of the disposition of the working classes to
provide against the casualties of life, will prove a source
of gratification to all reflecting minds; and it may indeed
be hoped that this provident disposition has its influence
in improving the character and conduct, materially con-
tributing to this class of workmen being the last to be
discharged whenever establishments are reduced from
scarcity of work.

SAM SLICK'S NEW WORK, " THE OLD JUDGE
OR, LIFE IN A COLONY."—These are a couple of volumes.
redolent of the hearty fun and strong masculine sense of
our friend, " Sam Slick." In some respects, we like the
book before us even better than the 'cute lectures of the
Yankee Clockmaker. In the sketches we have different
interlocutors, and a far greater variety of characters
than in " Sam Slick," while in acuteness of observation,
pungency of remark, and abounding heartiness of drol-
lery, this last work of Mr. Haliburton is quite equal to
the first. In" The Old Judge" every class of colonist's
are painted, from the Governors down to the cod-
fishers. Every page is alive with rapid, fresh sketches
of character—droll, quaint, racy sayings, good-hu-
mcured practical jokes, and capitally told anecdotes.
We recommend " The Old Judge" as a very original
and very instructive, and a very amusing companion.—

LONDON FEVER HOSPlTAL.—Yesterday afternoon
the forty-seventh annual meeting of this well deserving
charity was held in the Freemasons' ravern ; Thomas
Corney, Esq., presiding. From the report read by Dr.
Tweedie, it appears that at the commencement of the year
1848 there were eighty-four persons, who were inmates of the
hospital. During the year, 1,261 persons were received
into the establishment, who were suffering from primary and
secondary fever, and 74 who had been attacked with scarlet
fever. The total number of persons, therefore, who were
under the care of the medical officers for the year was 1,333;
of these 1,128 cases were discharged cured, of which 58 were
scarlet fever, and 9 were sent to other hospitals. The number
of deaths amounted to 221. A vote of thanks to the chairman
terminated the proceedings.

Mn. ilrcil • Soran'im—The following eminent
physicians have signed a certificate stating that iii their
opinion Mr. I)yce Sombre is of perfectly sane mind:—
Dr. Paris, President of the C2llege of Physicians, Dr.
Mayo, Sir Alexander Morrison, 1)r. James Copeland,
Dr. Robert Fergusson, and Dr. Wm. Costello. This has
been embodied in an affidavit, which has been sworn by
the six eminent physicians above referred to, and which
has been laid before the Lord Chancellor.
RAILWAY DIVIDENDS.—We understand that the
Great Western Dividend will be after the rate of 6 per
cent. per annum. The London and North-Western will
be after the rate of 7 per cent. per annum, with a stated
surplus of about 30,0001. on the net profits of the half-
year.
