..STAFF _rPOINTMENTB.—Captain George Mein, of
the 13th Foot, who was one of the captives at Caubul, has
been appointed a major of brigade at Birmingham; Captain

aide-de-camp to Sir 11. Pottinger, Governor and Commander.
in-Chief at the Cape of Good Hope (the gallant officer served
under Sir Henry in China); Captain Mein, of the Ist Royals,
has received the appointment of quartermaster-general on
the staff at Barbadoes ; Colonel Campbell, of the 9th Lancers,

LATE FATAL COLLISION ON THE RIVER.—SOUTH-
WEDNESDAY.—Since the publication of the previous
particulars respecting the above accident, it has been ascer-
tained that the vessel which ran the Rose down was the
Royal Victoria steam-ship, 300 horse-power, Captain Mickle-
thwaite, the property of the London, Leith, Edinburgh, and
Glasgow Navigation Company. She took her departure for
Leith from St. Katherine's-wharf, at 12 o'clock on Satur-
day night, two hours later than her appointed time, in
consequence of a sudden increase of goods. As far as Graves-
end she was under the control of the duly authorised Trinity
pilot, where he was put ashore, the captain then taking
the command of her. To Gravesend the weather was
clear, but beyond that point, although the moon was
up, a slight fog overhung the river. She had two power-
ful discs on her foremast head and one on her bows.
The wreck lies in deep water. her cross-trees only being ob-
servable at low tide. The Trinity officers have placed bout's
near it, and lights at night, so as to warn vessels getting
foul of it. She has 150 tons of goods on board, consequently,
her raising will be a matter of considerable difficulty.
Captain Fisher, the City of London harbour-master, inspected
what is to be seen of the wreck yesterday, and commenced
the necessary arrangements to lift her. The number of lives
lost amounts to seven, two seamen, three passengers, and two
friends of the captain. Many doubts exist as to whether
the steamer was in the proper track when the accident oc-
curred. It is certain that the schooner was deep in the wa.
ter, and if she did not exhibit lights, it is possible that she
raight not have been seen, as the atmosphere was rather hazy,
until the steamer was close down upon her. Her captain is
said to be a very careful and experienced mariner, and for
more than thirteen years has been engaged in the Leith
steam trade.
DEATH OF A SAVANT.—Prince Monrad Ali, the
85th son of Feth Ali Schah of Persia, who had 104 children,
of whom 39 are still living, died lately at Khoi, a small town
of Persia, at no very advanced age. On the decease of his
father in 1831, and the accession of Abbas Mirza; the eldest
son, to the throne, Mourad Ali left the court of Persia and
retired into one of the provinces, where he lived in a com-
paratively humble style. He was a man of a cultivated
understanding, and employed himself chiefly in astronomy.
A few years ago a treatise on the prognostics of the weather,
written by him, was published at Taurie.
THE SAMARITAN SOClETT.—Wednesday the fifty-
sixth annual meeting of the governors and subscribers of this
institution (which is in connexion with the London Hos-
pital), for the relief of various distresses among the patients,
and for which no provision is ordinarily made by public
hospitals, by assisting them when discharged, affording sur-
gical aids, and the support of those convalescent patients re-
quiring country air and sea-bathing, was held at the institu-
tion. The report stated that the receipts (including last
year's balance of 1741. 2s. 6d.), amounted to 7601. 7s. 7d., the
expenditure to 4991. lls. 5d., leaving a balance in hand of
270/. The funded property amounts to 14,141/.. A library
has been established for the use of the in-patients of t Ito
hospital, which now consists of near 600 volumes.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of last Night.)
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday barely supported
previous rates. Sales 7,000 bales, of which 3,500 were on
speculation. Shares were steady, but not brisk.
The new loan for Spain about to be raised, ostensibly at
Madrid, but in reality, no doubt, here and on the Continent,
should awaken the lively solicitude of the foreign bond-
holders. There are more ways than one of " raising the
wind," and long practice has made the Spanish Government
tolerably perfect in the work. Seeing the distrust (might
we not say disgust) felt by every one at the miserable po-
sition of the foreign creditors of Spain, no open loan, as we
imagine, could possibly be thought of, and a clandestine issue
of stock may probably be resorted to. People ask now in vain
what has been effected by the self-constituted committee of
Messrs. Henderson and Co., and what becomes of the san-
guine anticipations paraded before the eyes of the bond-
holders, who, truth to say, however, have ever attached but
• little importance thereto.
We cannot but call attention to the success of joint-stock
banking in the metropolis within the last few years, as
exhibited more especially in the annual balance_
sheets of the institutions conducted upon this system. The
London and Westminster Bank especially, is an instance of
this, and, from being the first, we believe, is also probably
the moat prosperous. Last year the net profits, after paying
the income-tax, were upwards of 74,0001., and the dividend
consequently is at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, with a
bonus of 21. percent., and a surplus fund of nearly 100,000/.
The bank has evidently, therefore, secured a safe
business, because its progress has been gradual,
and there is doubtless room for the employment
of the additional capital which the directors are about to
raise upon new shares. It appears that the public made de-
posits with the London and Westminster Bank last year to
the amount of 3,280,000!, and took circular notes from the
establishment fur 6,700/., while the bank invested 938,717/.
of its assets in Government securities, and 2,676,7201 in other
securities; reserving no less than 634,000/. as cash in hand.
We look upon this as being the most creditable statement of
bank management that has come under notice for some
time past.
