UNION BANK OF LONDON.-At a
General Meeting of the Proprietors, held at the Court-
room of the Banking-house, 8, Moorgate-street, on Wednesday,
the Bth July, 1,440 ; present,
Sir PETER LAURIE, Governor, in the Chair;
ANDREW SPOTTISWOODE, Esq., Deputy-Governor,
e
The followin and 127 Proprietors.
g havin been dby the Screta,
the Governor declaßredeporta dividend of 5 perrea cent. on the paid-uryp
capital which will be payable on and after the 20th July :
" The Directors have much pleasure in meeting the Pro-
prictDrs for the first time to lay before them the statement of
the affairs of the Bank appended to this Report, which they
confidently anticipate will prove satisfactory to the Proprietary
at large.

▪ et nould not non' be of any practical utility to give a de•
tailed history of the formation of the Bank, the Directors wil
therefore content themselves by stating its present position.
The number of Shares issued at 30th of June, 1840, is 42,005,
held by 738 proprietors, representi.tg a subscribed capital of
2,100,2501., on which the first call of Si. has been paid by all
the Shareholders; making the paid-up capital of the Company
210,0251.
• it List of the Proprietors has been printed and circulated,
and the Directors refer to it with pride and satisfaction, a-
showing the firm basis upon which the credit of this establish-
ment has been reared.
'6 It is gratifying to the Directors to be enabled to declare a
dividend of five per cent. on the paid-up capital, out of the net
profits of the business to the 30th of Julie, after snaking a full
allowance for bad and doubtful debts, liquidating a portion of
the preliminary expenses (which, in justice to the present Pro-
prietors, must be provided for gradually), and setting apart the
sum of 2,000/., being nearly one per cent. on the paid-up ca.
pital, as the foundation of a surplus or guarantee fund, the
establishment of which, to an adequate amount, invested and
accumulating separately in Government Securities, in the names
of the Trustees, the Directors consider to be a matter of great
importance to the future interests of the Bank,
•‘ The attention of the Proprietors is particularly directed to
that part of the balance sheet, showing the amount of interest
paid on current and deposit accounts to be 7,373/. 12s. ed., by
which it will be seen that, in addition to the greater security
afforded by the sound principle of joint-stock banking, the cus-
tomers obtain so manifest an advantage by a return of interest
on their general balances, which would otherwise have been
wholly unproductive.
" The extreme pressure on the Money Market at the close
of, last year, rendered the greatest circumspection indispensable
in the management of the Bank. 'I he Directors, notwitstand-
ing, refer to the account appendei to this Report, to show the
Proprietors that in preferring a safe and cautious course to the
precarious profit'which might have attended a less prudent line
of conduct, they have been actuated by a strict regard to the
ultimate interests of the Company.
" The Directors, for the convenience of business, hive opened
an account with the Bank of England; and it is due to the
Directors of that great establishment, to state that this accom-
modation was granted in the most prompt and obliging manner.
The Directors have also the satisfaction of stating that the
most friendly feelings exist between this and the other Joint;
Stock Banks established in the metropolis.
"Nothing has as yet been done by the legislature with refe-
rence to the unjust prohibition which prevents Joint Stock
Banks in London from accepting bills at less than six months'
date; but from the principle of removing a similar limitation,
as respects Ireland, having been admitted in the bill brought in
by the Government last session, and the growing opinion in
the public mind that this and other restrictions upon Joint
Stock Banks are injurious to the public intei eats, the Directors
are justified in entertaining the most confident expectation,
that when the interesting inqu•ry now going on before a select
committee of the House of Commons on the subject of banking
shall be completed, the whole matter will be placed on a sou,d
and reasonable footing.
" A Branch Bank at the west end of the town was opened at
temporary offices in Argyll-place, Regent-street, and the Di-
rectors, considcrinn- the situation to be very eligible, have pur-
chased the valuable freehold of the premises, and erected thereon
a commodious banking-house, which will be shortly completed.
The success of this establishment has fully realised the expecta-
tions of the Directors.
" The Directors refer with the greatest pleasure to the ap-
pointment of Mr. W. W. Scrirngeour as the General Manager ;
and it is but; justice. to that gentleman to say, that his un-
wearied zeal and as,idlity, h's peculiar and extensive knowledge
of credit and banking in general, much of the success of this
Company is to be attributed. They have also great satisfaction
:c expressing their entire approbation of the conduct of Mr.
Clack, the Manager of the Regent-street Branch.
• 'ln conclusion, the Directors would urge upon the Proprietors
o consider how much of the success of the Company depends
on their active co-operation, not merely by keeping their own
accounts with the Bank (which is almost too obvious a duty to
require remarl) but by extending the connexions of the esta-
blishment by every means in their power. It must be evi-
dent, that with so large and influential a body of proprietors,
the elements of prosperity are within their own control. The
value of their shares depends mainly on themselves, and the Di-
rectors look with confidence to increased exertions and assist-
ance from the Proprietors for the promotion of their mutual
interest.

HONEY MARKET and CITY N.II:4VS

(WEDNESDAY EVENING)
CHRONICLE.—This being the first day for paying
, the dividends to the public, a larger extent of business was
transacted in the English Funds than has taken place for
some time past. Consols, at one period, were quoted at
924 to t, being per cent, advance on yesterday's prices,
but left flat 924 sellers. Exchequer Bills, 30s. to .7e2s.
premium.
Th.: announcement we made exclusively in last Tuesday's
Chronicle respecting the determination which the Directors
of the Bank of England had come to, to relax the system
hitherto adopted by that establishment regarding their
mode of banking, so far as related to discounts, has caused
much discussion pro and con. as to its future effect on the
.‘Laney Market, and on the circulat on,should it bs carried ant
tothe extent necessary to be of permanent benefit to the public.
Tht re are those to be Lund sib. contend that the r. suit must
be to increase the difficulty which time Directors have at times
to contend with, when, from an adverse state of the ex-
changes, and bullion leaving the country, or other causes,
they find it necessary to take measures for
_suddenly con-
tracting the circulation. There can be no doubt that its
tend•ncy is to make motley more easy, by extending the
benefit of discount operations to many deserving persons,
who arc at present excluded, in so far as the Bank of Erg_
land is concerned ; but when we consider the principle • n
which the discount business will in future probably be
conducted, we do nut apprehend that the control of the
Directors over the circulation will be diminished. On
the contrary, it seems plain enough that although the
amount of the circulation will be greater, it will be ex-
panded through a channel immediately under the eye and
power of the Directors. Besides, under the present sys-
tem it will be remembered that parties who hol I discount
accounts with the Bank of England generally draw
out notes to the full amount of the bills which they
negotiate. It is not, in fact, the practice t leave .any
greater balance in those accounts than is requisite to keep
them open. When the change of system, however, which
we are are now discussing shall come into play, that will
no longer be the case, because the drawing accounts will
then be operated upon in the same form as at a private
hanker's ; and only such, paper discounted as may be pre-
sented by persona keeping good accounts with the esta-
blishment. The increase in the circulation will not there-
fore be so great as at first sight might be supposed, be
cause, from the circumstances to which we have alluded, it
will be seen that a large amount of the bills discounted
may be left in the hands of the Bank, at the credit of the
parties for whom they were discounted ; and as the medium
of expansion will be an engine directly under the power
of the Bank, they will be able to work in such
a way as to retain a salutary influence over the extended
circulation, enabling them to work it as circumstances may
render expedient. What may have been the cause of this
important change in the policy of the Bank Parlour, we
shall not attempt to predicate at present. The most ob-
vious reason would be to say that they have been actuated
by a desire to put their house in order previous to the ex-
piry of the charter, and to place themselves in a position of
strength adequate to resist the rivalry of the Joint Stock
establishments. Be that as it may, 'we cannot but approve
of their conduct in this matter; and those best acquainted
with banking affairs express their chief wonder to be, that
they should have been so tardy in adopting a system which
has been long acknowledged by the Banks of France and
Amsterdam.

TIM E S —The payment of the dividends to day has
rendered money easier, and it could be obtained at 4 per
cent. In the English stock-market there has been some
activity; 50,000/. Exchequer Bills were sold, and the
proceeds re-invested in Consols, and there was another
purchase in 'Consols to the amount of 100,0001. The
money price of Consols had been in the morning 92 to
but these purchases caused a greater firmness; and at
toe close of the rna4et 92i to was the quotation both
for Money and the Account. For August the quotation
is 92i to Exchequer Bills maintain their price of 30s.
to 325. premium.

SUN.—The news of the flight of Cabrera into
France, communicated so circumstantially in The Sun
of this evening, gave much pleasure to the friends of
constitutional Spain in the City.
For the opening, Consols brought 92i to 92i ex
div., and Exchequer Bills continued to support. with
firmness the advanced premium of 30s. to 325. Bank
Stock was nominally the same as yesterday, but East
India Stock rose to 251 i again. East India Bonds
were more dealt in at to Is. premium, and the Re-
duced Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Annuities varied
from 1001 to 1004.
Thcre was a little speculation in Spanish Bonds for
the 15th instant this afternoon, but not at better prices,
the Actives varying from 27* to 268, and the Deferred
being dull at 12k. The inanimate state of the market
is attributable, we believe, to the rumours in circulation,
and which are still discredited by a few incredulous in-
dividuals, as to the fact of some .of the' new Bonds
being in private hands, and actually in circulation.
Portuguese New Five per Cents, dropped to 35, and
the Three per Cents. to 23g. Colombian Bonds re-
ceded to 27, and Brazilian touched 79.
No bargains of magnitiide were effected in the Share
Market, and prices had a downward tendency. Great
Western Shares were quoted at 38, New 17, South
Western 20i, Birmingham 97f to 99, and Blackwall
Ti t
i 9 aright-On Shares were 7i, Greenwich

KIT of the rtIi3LIC JOURNALS.

.(PROM THE MORNING PAPERS QF THIS DAY.)
(From the Morning Chronicle.)
The new measure for the disposal of the Canada Clergy
Reserves is to be bronght on to-night by Lord John Rus-
sell in a Committee of the whole House ; and there is,
we trust we may say, no doubt of its being received as an
acceptable measure by tie great majority of the Members,
At all events, the fi lends of the Church of England have
no cause to complain. Lord John Russell has acceded
(and in that we think he has done wisely, looking to
the entire 'scheme of settlement of which this is but
a part) to the propositions made on the part of
that body. The Church of Scotland, too, is also in a
good position. It takes a share corresponding to its
proportion of population in Canada, as compared
with that which consists of members of the Church
of England. It might in strictness, we know, be objected
that, including the Presbyterian seceders (who in Canada
are in reality in nowise distinguished from members of the
Scotch Church), that the two Established Churches are
nearly on a par, in paint of numbers; but the point is not
of sufficient importance to ground opposition on it. The
other denominations do not fare so favourably ; but there
is reason to believe that the bulk of them are indifferent to
the measure as a means of endowment, and would prefer
the application of the fund to educational purposes. The
measure retains its first and chief recommendation—that
of getting rid of large blocks of land in a wilderness
state, which offered an impediment in every direction to
the progress of the colony ; and the greater number of
per.ons who feel an interest in the question on that ac-
count, and they form the most active and influential of the
province, will be gratified on this score.
(From the Times.)
We must here observe, and with the utmost deference
towards Lcrd Stanley, that if he deemed it an a:.vantage
to put on record before the country the triumphs which he
had wrung from Ministers by means of succcsssive majori-
ties in the House of Colnmons, it would have cost the
Noble Lord but a small exertion, and the Conservative
party but a very slight additional expense of time, diligence,
or self-devotion, to try whether they could not swell the
catalogue by further items, in no degree less valuable than
those which he already adduced, inasmuch as one or two
nights' debate in the course of this current week have
won for him not only an appeal from the assistant
barrister to thu judges, but the still more solid benefit
of an appeal against fabricated votes, originally
registered through fraud, as well as against groundless ob-
jections. However, the Noble Lord has waved these ad-
vantages, and we must do him the credit of presuming that
he had good reason for such forbearance—albeit to us un-
known. The domestic circumstances of the Noble Lord
and of his family are such as render it more than possible
that his further efforts as a Member of Parliament may be
displayed on a different field from the House of Commons,
and that the •ery important measure by the introduction,
the defence, and management of which his Lordship has so
highly distinguished himself in the eyes of all his country-
men, must owe its future fortunes to the guidance of other
—we are sure not more vigorous or skilful—bands.
( From the Morning Advertiser.) . _

Though the pressure of various other topics of great
though temporary interest has prevented our devoting cur
attention for some days past to the Church of Scotland
question, e have not been inattentive observers of %hat
took place in the House of Lords on the subject on Tues_
day se'nnight. The Earl of Aberdeen must by this time
be convinced that he has, to use a very homely but very
expressive phrase, " taken the wrong sow by the ears," in
his attempts to overreach or intimidate the General As-
sembly of the Church of Scotland—backed as that As-
sembly is by the people of that country—on the question of
patronage. If he had had any doubts on the subject be-
fore, those doubts must all have been dissipated by the pe-
tition which the Marquis of Breadalbane presented, on the
occasion referred to, from the Commission of the General
Assembly. By this time the Noble Earl must deeply re-
gret that he ever undertook to legislate on this subject in
opposition to the clergy and people on the other side of
the Tweed. But of this more anon.

(From the Morning Post.)
The Government journals are unanimously sneering at
Lord Stanley for having given up the Irish Registration
Bill. They chuckle and crow at a great rate. They have
reason so to do. The abandonment of the Bill is a respite
to their patrons, and of course an advantage to. them.
Lord Stanley's regard for the public convenience, which
the responsible Government utterly disregarded, meets with
the usual gratitude of Whig-Radicals. Incapable of
acting upon any such consideration themselves, they
cannot give credit to any one for really doing so,
and they treat Lord Stanley's declaration as a mere
profession, which is a meet subject for sneers.
Lord Stanley is a proud man, and cares no more,
we dale say, for the flouting of Ministerial journals than
he does for tho whistling of the wind upon Helvellyn. But
it is to tEc public for all that. We caouot bat

milk. The Ministerial journals boast that Lord Stank y
has given up his Bill, but they take care to say nothing
about the nine battles upon that Bill in which the O'Con-
Nell party was detected. They say nothing of the four
Ministerial onslaughts upon that Bill in which Ministers
were beaten, taking one drubbing after another with every
mark of resianation save one. They took care not to re-
sign their places. _ _ _

Commit-
tee of Education, and its conduct towards the schools of
the Church. The vote was only carried by the glorious
majority of two in the last Session. It was protested against
by a majority of 112 in the House of Lords, and yet the
Ministers cling to the desrerate hope of being able to carry
it to-night by the indiffcrerce and absence of Conservatives,
and by bringing up their reserve of Irish Papists and of
EngliA Radicals_ This education vote is, in fact, a vote
for or against the exi,tence of any ecclesiastical establish-
ment, and it is viewed as such by all who can think, whe-
ther amongst Whigs or Tories. If the Ministers can
prevail in clogging the grant with any conalitiems of
school inspection, which shall cut off the schoo's of
the National Society—if they shall succeed in flooring
the inspectors appointed by the Bishop and the Clergy
they will succeed in giving a fatal tnrust to the Esta-
blished Church, and they will secure another year for
working out their pians and plots for its final ruin and
downfall. The conduct of the Privy Council Committee
to the National Society has been marked throughout with
all the insolence and tyranny which belong to men clothed
in the brief authority of Royal prer,gative. They suc-
ceeded to the possession of funds which Lad been long
virtually pleslu,d to an equal distribution amongst the
National and British schools; and then, because the former
would not submit to an inspection, which had been never
contemplated by their charter or their terms of union,
tlißy cut them off from every farthing of the grant,
and they now menace the society with the loss of the
Royal letters for public collections, if they persevere in
their resistance to the Privy Council mandates !
