Gentlemen have re
sincere satis-
faction the communication which you
have done me
the honour to forward to me, ,requesting my attend-
ance at a parting entertainment as the guest of the
bankers and merchants of the City of London. It
'is with infinite gratification that I recognise amongst
the signatures to this invitation the names of the
most distinguished houses of Europe, and those of
men whose abilities and enterprise have mainly
contributed to elevate and sustain the high cha-
racter of British commerce throughout the world.
Next to the consciousness of having done my duty,
according to my humble abilities, in the station in
which it has been the will of Providence to place
me, and to the distinction of having attracted the
approbation of those in high authority, I shall value
this record of the esteem and confidence of those
amongst whom it has been my good fortune to spend
so large a portion of mylife, and for many of whom
personally I entertain the warmest feelings of re-
gard. It is, therefore, with sincere regret that I find
myself compelled by considerations and circumstances
attendant on my almost immediate departure for
the United States to signify to you my inability
to avail myself of the honour so kindly intended for
me. With earnest wishes for your continued and
ncreasing prosperity, I am, with great respect, very
'aithfully yours,
(Signed) GEORGE PEABODY.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, April 18.

Mr. Byers, the innkeeper who was shot in the
neck by Mr. Sutcliffe, at Glasnevin, some time ago,
appeared yesterday at the Capel-street Police-court
to give evidence in the case. Mr. Sutcliffe was also
present, and surrendered to his bail. Byers declined
to prosecute, stating that he conscientiously believed
the whole occurrence was accidental. It is said that
he has received pecuniary compensation for the in-
jury he sustained. Mr. Sutcliffe was then discharged.
The:two men in custody for shooting a man named
Brophy in Thomas-street were again remanded by
Mr. Allen yesterday, the wounded man being still
in a precarious state.

From a report -furnished to the Government by
Dr. Neilson Hancock on the deposits in joint-stock
banks in Ireland, it appears that the increase of
£2,628,376 during the year 1865—viz., from
£14,422,176 in 1861 to £17,050,552 in 1865—was
greater than the largest previous increase in one
year—viz., of £2,510,233, from £7,263,091 in 1851
to £10,773,324 in 1852. It also appears that the
increase of £4,083,821 in the last two years ex-
ceeded the withdrawals during the four bad years,

1860-63, by £1,008,412, so that the deposits,
£17,050,552, at the end of 1865 exceeded by
£1,000,000 the previous maximum of £16,042,140
in 1859. The deposits of £17,050,552 are more than.

twice the amount in 1850—viz., 18,268,838, and
three times the amount in 1840—vis., 15,567,851.
Considered with reference to changes in population,
the deposits in 1840 were 13s. 7d. per head of popu-

lation ; in 1850, £1 2s. Id. ; in 1860, £2 14s. Id. ;
and in 1865, £3 35., or nearly five times the amount
per head of population as in 1840. As an evdicnce

wealth of Ireland, as compared with other portions
of the United Kingdom, the extraordinary advan-
tages which England and Scotland enjoy over Ire-
land in mines and minerals, and consequently in ma-
nufactures, have led to an equally remarkable accu-
mulation of capital. One bank—the London and
Westminster—holds for bank deposits, circular
notes, and other money payable on demand, no less
a sum than £12,224,571. The Irish returns include
deposits alone , but if even the cash balances were
added, the sum in all the banks would not much
exceed what is held by one English bank:.
