.6P ORTING INTELLIGENCE:

HALF-YEARLY MEETING.-THIS DAY.

The usual half-yearly mes:lng of the governors and
company of the Bank of England was held this morning,
in the Bank Parlour, Threadneedle-street.
Bonamy Dobree, Esq., governor, in the chair.
The minutes of the last Court having been read and
confirmed,
The GOVERNOR said he had to acquaint the Court that
the net profits of the Bank of England for the half-year
ending the 29th of February, amounted to .£916,737,
making the amount or " rest" on that day, £3,680,876.
After the payment of a dividend at the rate of £4 10s. for
the half-year, the rest would remain at £3,025,991. The

Court of Directors, therefore, recommended a dividend on
intirests and profits of Li 10s., without deduction of income.
tax. on the sth of April.
The GOVERNOR then proposed a resolution declaring the
dividend, adding that it would be due on the sth of April,
and that the dividend accounts would b 2 declared and paid
on the 7th of April next.
The proposition having been seconded, it was carried
unanimously.
Alderman SALOMONS said it must be gratifying that
nothing had occurred during the past six months to destroy
the harmony that always characterised the meetings, and
he had great pleasure in saying they were always looked up
to as a guide by the commercial world. The circumstance
that the commercial world looked at the transactions of the
Bank of England with unmixed satisfaction, would, he
thought, be gratifying to the Governor, Deputy-Governor,
and the whole Court of Directors. (Hear, hear.) He had
great pleasure in moving a vote of thanks to the directors
for their exertions during the last six months.
MN. LAWS seconded the motion, which was put to the
meeting and carried unanimously.
The GoVERNOB, in returning thanks, said the great ob-
ject of the directors was to devote themselves entirely to the
profit of the Bank and the advantage of the proprietors.
The proceedings then terminated.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day•)

SHERIFF'S COURT.

SINGULAR ACTION AGAINST A STOCKBROKER.-FUNNELL

V. SMITH.

Plaintiff is a market gardener of Brighton, and defendant
is an old member of the Stock-Exchange. The action was
brought to rerovor £lO, wider the following circumstances :
➢ir. Rodney called the plaintiff, who said that in February
last he had £3OO to invest in the funds. Through a friend
he called uponidefendant and defendant oounted the money,
giving a receipt produced for £3OO. There were 4 £lO notes

and 32 £5 notes, with £lOO in gold. In return for this
money plaintiff received an investment note for £290 only.
Plaintiff was sure he gave defendant £3OO.
Cross-examined by Mr. Jay—Do not know the number
of the notes. Counted the money last on the 6th February,
and called upon defendant on the Bth. Received a note
from defendant informing witness that there was only
£290. Defendant counted the money, not hastily but deli-
berately. "It was between twelve and one that I called
upon defendant, and I told him that if he invested before
one o'clock he would save 2s. 6d.in every hundred pounds."
His Honour thought the action could not lie as goods
sold and delivered.

Mr. Jay called defendant, who said that he certainly
counted the notes at £3OO, but the clerk made £290.
Charles Ford said he was clerk to defendant. Saw plain-
tiff give defendant a bag, and defendant handed witness
some notes. 'Witness counted the notes, and entered the
numbers on a piece of paper (produced) as £l9O. No one
could have taken away a note.

His Honour—Funnel! must have made a mistake. Both
the parties are highly respectable, and I am certain Mr.
Smith would not have come here unless he was sure.

TILE NEW REFORM BILL.

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING TIH
WEEK.'

(From the Report of the Re4;istrar-General.)

The health of the people of London is better
than it was recently. The mortality has declined,
and the deaths have fallen in three weeks from
1,500 to 1,397. The corrected average number of
deaths of the corresponding week the ten pre-
vious years is 1,365; so the deaths of the week that
ended on Saturday, March 10, were 32 more than
the estimated number.
The weather was inclement, and had it not
been for the mildness of the intervening
week the mortality have would probably been
higher. Pope said of himself that he was
an " atmospherical creature ; " and the same
may be affirmed with equal truth of the population
of London. The tide of death falls and rises with
the thermometer. Many hardy constitutions resist
extremes of cold and heat, because they have in
themselves, ae Dr. Edward Smith has ingeniously
shown, the power of increasing or diminishing the
internal combustion of carbon. Others lose that
power, and die in consequence.
The deaths of the consumptive do not appear
to be accelerated by cold ; last week the num-
ber (143) was below the average. The diseases
of the organs of breathing were rife, and
were fatal in 387 instances, the corrected
average of corresponding weeks being 305. The
deaths by these diseases were 23 at the ages of 20-
40, 57 at the ages of 40-60, and 88 at the ages of
60-80. The power of resisting cold diminishes as
age advances, and the clothing should, therefore,
be increased.
An old man of 101 died in the weak.

HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION, BROMPTON. —On
Sunday morning last, by the kind permission of the rector,
the Rev. R. E. Coplestone, a sermon was preached at St.
Mary's, Barnes, by the Rev. J. F. Manby, incumbent of
Mortlake, in aid of the above excellent charity. The text
was taken from Acts 13 chap., 36 verse—" For Davi.),
after he had served his own generation by the will of God,
fell asleep, and was laid unto his fathers." At the conclu-
sion of a most eloquent and interesting- discourse, in which
each of the leading characters in Scripture who " had
served 'his own generation" was appropriately referred
to, the reverend gentleman urged upon his hearers
the duty of imitating the example In the text. Hav-
ing given a short account of the rice of this much-
needed institution, 19 years ago, and of its present posi-

stitution was stated to be altogether unendowed, and hav-
ing, moreover, a yearly deficiency_ (beyond the amount of
annual subscriptions) of about £,5,000, which sum has to
be made up by legacies. church collectinns, a!-T1 donations. The collection, notwithstanding the comparatively din al 1

with regard to Paddington it was more or less true
with regard to the other metropolitan districts. It
compared most unfavourably with other Reform
Bills of preceding years, Lord J. Russell himself, in
1844, having proposed a repeal of the ratepa3ing
clauses. It was monstrous to introduce such a bill,
for in Caine, a small Whig borough, containing
a population of 5,195, an estimated rental
of £24,400, and registered electors but 174;
and yet Calne had its member preserved ; and in

of about 2,964, rental not ascertained, and electors

by stating that before he gave his rote for throwir.g
out the bill, he would try to have it amended, and
if they failed in doing that, then after that it would
be as well to consider as to what was best to be
done with it.

great cheering, the resolution was unanimously

PARLIAMENTARY REFORM.
Several petitions were presented in favour of a compre-
hensive :measure of Parliamentary Reform.
DUTY ON BOOKS.
_ _

Mr. lie MILNES gave notice that, in the committee on
the Customs Act, he woull move that the duty chargeable
on all books, except English books, imported from abroad,
should be discontinued.
RELIGIOUS WORSHIP BILL.
31,•. L. K ING moved the second reading of this bill.
The fault of the measure was that it did not go far enough,
but that defect could be remedied in committee. The ob-
ject of the bill wa,e simply to extend to clergymen of the
Church of Eitgl tnd the S,llllO freedom with regard to reli-
gions worship en jeyed by Nonconfc mists and other
sects of Diesentcre. As the law at present stood,
clergymen of the Church of England could not
preach except in places licensed by the bishop of the diocese,_
while Dissenting ministers could preach without any such
restriction. These were several places in the country so
remote from the parish church that a large number were
deprived of spiritual teaching. In many localities so situ-
ated there were persons who would advance money and
supple- different buildings for the performance of divine
worship, and there were several clergymen without cures
who would be happy to preach if they could do so legally.
Having quoted an extract from a speech recently delivered the Earl of Shaftesbury, to show the extent of the spiri-
tual destitution that prevailed throughout the country,
not-
withstanding the means provided for public worship, said
he had the evidence of a clergyman to prove that preaching
in theatres was attended with the most beneficial results
among a class who would not have entered an ordinary
place of worship. Yet, according to the opinion of Dr.
Phillimore, preaching in such places was clearly illegal,
and opposed to canon law. He appealed to the house to
a the bill on the ground of expediency and Christianity.
Mr. HORSFALL seconded the motion.
Mr. WALPOLE contended that the bill proposed, in
reality, an alteration in the canon law and would prove
utterly inoperative in accomplishing the object proposed.
Lord R. CECIL also opposed the bill, and argued that
it would virtually deprive the bishop of the diocese of duo
eontrol over a clergyman who might, under certain circum-
stances, preach heretical doctrines and create religious dis-
turbance. The noble lord alluded to the presence in the
house of persons of the Jewish persuasion, who were not
in favour of the Ladling ot Christianity.
Sir F. GOLDSMID, who was loudly cheered, said he
would not have taken part in the present debate, except
for the reference of the noble lord to members of the house
who professed his (Sir F. Goldsmid's) religious profes-
sion. Ho and other members of that profession were de-
sirous that persons born in the Christian religion should
be instructed in Christian knowledge. (Hear, hear.) As
an evidence of sincerity, he would refer to the manner both
himself and others of his co-religionists who were con-
nected with the country by ties of property discharged their
duty as landlords in reference to this matter. They had
established several churches and schools where Christian
instruction was supplied and religious ceremonyperformed.
(Hear, hear.)
Mr. MILNES bore personal testimony to the manner in
which the three members of the Jewish families in that
house had discharged their duties. He strongly objected
to the bill.
Mr. GLADSTONE expressed regret at the allu-
sion of the noble lord to members of the Jewish
profession, and maintained that it was very un-
likely the deliberate character of the house would
be affected by the admission of members of that persuasion.
The views of the noble lord tended to the exclusion of all
those who wore not members of the Church of England.
More than 30 years had elapsed since they admitted persons
of different denominalons into that house, and, as the re-
presentative of a large number of clergymen of the Church
of England, he could bear testimony to the admirable
manner in which they acted in abstaining from using their
position in the house to injure the interests of the Church
establishment. He opposed the bill as calculated to intro-
duce anarchy in the discipline of the Church.
Mr. HORSIALL and Mr. AYRTON supported the bill.
Mr. CROSS assented to the principle of the bill, but con-
sidered that its details should be altered.
Mr. DANBY SEYMOUR supported the bill, as it was
calculated to extend the utility of the Church of England,
by imposing- a,greater pressure on the bishops, and improv-
ing church discipline.
Mr. BOUVERIE moved that the bill be read a second
time that day six months. .
• After some observations front Mr. BASS in support of,
and Mr. ADDERLRY against, the hill,
Sir G. C. LEWIS entered a protest against the doc-
trine laid down by the noble lord (Lord R. Cecil) as to the
Christian character of the house being affected by the ad-
mission of Jews into the Legislature. lie felt bound to
support the amendment, as he considered that the
bill would not effect the object of the promoter. It
had been objected to the Church of England by
those in favour of the bill that it did not provide
sufficient accommodation for those who were desirous of
attending divine worship, and it was contended that by the
provisions of the bill that defect would be remedied. That
he denied, for in his opinion the principle of allowing divine
worship to be celebrated in private houses would tend to
the extension of religious discord and religious fanaticism.
For instance, a person who might quarrel with the bishop
of a diocese might offer a building for the purpose of divine
worship, and introduce a minister to preach there who,
being independent virtually of his clerical superior, might
disseminate whatever doctrines he ' fancied. (Hear.
'hear.) If it could be shown that any practical
grievances existed in reference to the Church of ling-
laed further than the want of adequate accommoda-
tion, which could ki met in a different way than that pro-
posed by the bill, he would be prepared to consider a mea-
sure that would remedy such grievances. He must, how-
ever, strongly protest against a bill like the present, which
merely announced general principles without. supplying the
machinery requisite to accomplish the object contemp'ated
by the mover.
Mr. NEWDEGATE strongly opposed the bill.
Mr. BAINES, as a disinterested party, advocated the
bill, which he considered would free the clergymen of the
Church of England from unjust and unnecessary re-
restrictions. He believed that it would be conferring a
greater benefit on the people than any evil that would re-
sult therefrom if they facilitated the means of disseminating
religious instruction, and the performance of the church
service more generally throughoie, the country.
Mr. LEF37OY opposed the bill, as its provisions extended
to Ireland, and as it would not be productive of beneficial
results either to the clergy or the community.
Lord ASHLEY opposed the bill, because he objected to
any interference with the legislative functions of the pre-
lates of the Church of England.
Col. SYKES supported the bill, and alluded to the prac-
tice that prevailed in India, where the performance or Di-
vine worship took place in places other than those that were
consecrated, and which was attended with considerable ad-
vantage to the cause of morality and religion. (Hear.)
/dr. HARDY opposed the bill on the ground that it was
not called for, and that it would lead to confusion in the
Church of England, and to the introduction of nonconfor-
mity in its doctrines.
Mr. CONINGHAM supported the bill, and he believed
it was founded on the principle of religious freedom. He
contended twat the principle of liberty applied equally to
religionas well as to common sense, and he regretted to see
the Chancellor of the Exchequer always on ecclesiastical
subjects come forward attired in the drapery of protection.
Mr. MELLOR supported the bill, on the ground that
there was no other measure before the house to meet an
admitted evil.
Mr. SPOONER supported the bill for the same reason.
Mr. LOCKE KING replied, and suggested that, as the
house appeared to be in favour of the principle of the bill,
it should be read a second time and then committed pro
forma, when he would endeavour to meet the views of hon.
members in the alterations ho would propose. (Cries of
" No, no," " Hear, hear," " Divide, divide.")
The house then divided—

This bill went through committee, and the house re-

ADULTERATION OF FOOD OR DRINK BILL.
The various clauses having been agreed to, a suggestion

the suffrages of the electors of Norwich, but the Liberal
party have not been inactive in tailing stzps to fill up the
vacancies in the representation. The reputed candidate aof
the party aro Mr. E \Varner and Mr. 11. Birk beck. To the
latter gentleman a formal invitation has been forwarded to
allow himself to be put in nomination, but he has not yet
made public his answer. The Conservatives of Norwich

WRECK OF A LARGE AMERICAN SHIP —TEIGN-
Motrnit, DEVON, Tuesday night.—Yesterday manning a
1 trge vessel was seen on the rocks near 13abaconibe, ue
miles west of this port. She proved to be the American
s'Aip Caroline, from Havre, having mistaken the lights on
her voyage. The lifeboat belonging to the Royal National
Lifeboat Institution was immediately launched and pro-
ceeded to her assistance. The lifeboat remained by the ship
for some time, and in the course of the night, in conjunc-
tion with a steam tug, brought the crew of 16 men on shore.
Three of the lifeboat's crew were left in charge of the ves-
sel. Part of her keel is knceked away, and there. is nodoubt that she will bueenie a total wreck in a Very short
time. This valuable lifeboat was instrumental only a few
weeks ago in saving from destruction a large barge and her
