The sixth annual meeting of this society took place
at Messrs. Tattersall's last evening ; Mr. Wm. Dickinson
in the Chair.

The CHAIRDIAN, after baying briefly opened the busi-
ness of the evening, called upon the secretary to read
the report of the directors.
The SECRETARY (Mr. W. T. Clarke) proceeded to
read the report, and the audited account of the receipts
and payments of the society from the Ist of July, 18 t 7,
to the 30th June, 1848, from which it appeared that ~n
the Ist July, 1848, the society's investments in Consols
amounted to 7,5911. ss. 6d., and that there was a cash
balance of 3541. 14s. Sd. in the hands of the treasurer.
The.Cffiunmerr having asked if any gentleman prr-
sent had any questions to put, and none being asked,
Mr. MALLALUE moved the adoption of the report, and
expressed his great satisfaction at the success of the
society.
Mr. TATTERSALL seconded the resolution, and took
that opportunity of stating how much the society was
indebted to the secretary for his exertions in its behalf.
The report was then received and adopted, and ordered

- -
to be printed.
Three of the retiring directors were then re-elected
and Mr. Dickinson elected a director in the room of Mr,
Dyson.

Mr. MALLALUE then rose, and said he was pleased to
find, Mr. • Dickinson had assented to return to the ma-
nagement, for he had been its monthly and general
nurse, and.under whose good treatment and careful dis-
cretion it had surprised every one.
Mr. DICKINSON said he did not think he deserved so
much as had been said of him; but as he had been asked
to give his services again, be readily assented.
The thanks of the meeting were then voted to Mr.
Tattersall, as treasurer, and to the directors, and a suit-
able eulogy was passed on Mr. Tattersall for the great
benefits which he had conferred upon the society , and
his evinced anxiety to promote its prosperity.
Mr. TATTERSALL returned thanks, and said he was.
glad to see the institution had prospered as it had-done,
and that now there was no doubt of its increasing
prosperity, and he hoped to live to see it do so.
A vote of thanks having been awarded to the se-
cretary,
The SECRETARY rose and said, he felt the deepest
interest in the society from the time he took on himself
the duties of his office ; he had at all times exerted him-
'self with pleasure, but that all his exertions would have
been worth nothing without the kind assistance which
he had always received from the directors. Those gen-
tlemen had been most constant in their attendance on
every board day, and very much was due to those gen.
tlemen who gave up their time for the good of the in-
stitution, and the zeal manifested by them for its in
ti ceased prosperity land usefulness ; and after pointing
out ,the advantages of publicity, and each member ex- .
ertin izmself in its behalf, ho concluded by stating
that they si, knew it must be a great gratification to
t,:a.t they were satisfied with his exerti, nE.
.e ed, not without some success,
for the interests of
institution, and he should
utmost for the institution.

moNEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, QUARTER TO •THREE.
In the Cotton Market at Liverpool, yesterday, there
was some spirit. The quotations were firm. Sales
6,000 bales. American realised • 34d to s:id per lb..
Railway Shares were done at better prices, and closed
well. A further advance seemed to be expected.
The Soho packet, from Antwerp. has brought over a
large cargo of fruit. The quays were stated to have
been crowded with baskets ready for shipment. There
was also wheat on board, and a quantity of windosi-
glass. Several Austrian officers were among the pas-
seugers.
The Brazil mail brings no intelligence of a very re-
assuring character. Trade was excessively dull, and
the political troubles in Europe had encouraged some of
the turbulent spirit& in Pernambuco to manifest renewed
symptoms of disaffection.
In the river Plate matters remained much as before,
but often as we have been deceived in the hope that
peace would be brought about through the intervention
of England and France, we cannot help regarding the
prospect, at the date of our accounts, as being much more
favourable. The Monte Videans will be compelled to
acquiesce in the reasonable proposals made to them.
The blockade of Buenos Ayres had lasted up to May 6,
no less than 956 days, and we may easily imagine how
the foreign merchants must have suffered.
The house connected with the Mediterranean and
Spanish trades, to which we alluded yesterday, has not
yet, as far as we can learn, made any arrangement to
meet its bills up to the present time.
The weather is looked to with some anxiety and
doubting to-day, but the rebellion in Ireland being
now concluded, the Bears, who operated largely
upon the presumption that a serious conflict would ensue,
are buying back their Accounts. The dubious char-
acter of the Italian news prevents their doing this,
however, to the extent they might otherwise do. Con-
sols, have been 87 to 871 for Money, and 87i to 871
for Account. Exchequer-bills are 325. premium.
