BANK OF ENGLAND.-(THIS DAY).

This morning a General Court of Proprietors of Bank
Stock was held in the Court-room of the Bank of Eng-
land, for the purpose of electing a Governor and Deputy
Governor for the ensuing year. At ten o'clock the Go-
vernor, J. 11. Palmer, EN., took the Chair, and the
ballot commenced immediately. The present Governor
and Deputy-Governor were no-ninated for re-election, in
order that they may continue to act during the proceedings
which are about to be commenced in Parliament, relative
to the Bank charter,—there gentlemen being more intl.
ma,ely acquainted with the affairs of the Bank than any
Governor or Deputy could be. The ballot is proceeding,
but not with any activity, as no opposition is expected to
the House Li.t. The ballot will not close before four
o'clock. To-morrow another Court will be held, for the
purpose of balloting for twenty-four Directors.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

THE LITERARY GAZETTE.

At half-past one to-day, Mr. Scripps, the publisher of
the Literary Gazette, appeared to answer the information
preferred against him by Mr. Judge last week, for pub-
lishing news on unstamped paper.
Mr. Anotrxus, for the defendant, said he would
at once upset the case by a reference to the Acts
of Parliament upon the subject. By the 38th
George 111. cap. 78, a penalty of twenty pounds
was certainly incurred, but by the statute passed in the
7 Geo. 111. for consolidating the various Stamp Acts, it
was enacted that all actions for penalties in the Courts
above should be brought by the Attorney-General, and
that in the inferior Courts none but officers employed by
the Commissioners of Stamps should be allowed to sue for
penalties. He would therefore simply ask Mr. Judge, it
he was an officer of Stamps? Mr. Judge replied in the
negative, and his solicitor admitted he had not a leg to
stand upon. The case was then dismissed.

NEW VESTRY BILL.

- .
CELEBRATION OF THE VICTORY OF THE
PARISHIONERS OF ST. MARYLERONE.

Yesterday a very numerous meeting of this ex-
tensive and populous parish took place•at the Horse
Bazar, King-street, Portman-square, order to
hear read the Report of the Committee relative to
the expense incurred in the late struggle of the rate-
payers to obtain their 'just and constitutional rights.
J. HUME, Esq. M.P. being called to the Chair,
said, he trusted that it would be the last time that
the parish would peet on a subject which had so
long agitated it. The complaints against the• late
Vestries were, that they were taxed by those over
whom they had no control. In every parish where
there is no special act, every rate-payer has R right to
vote at the vestry of his parish. The parishioners
have obtained nothing more than their just and con-
stitutional right ; namely, that no man shall be taxed
without his own consent.

Mr. JACKSON, the Secretary to the Committee,
then read their report, which, after congratulating
the pariah on their late glorious victory, stared that
the arduous struggle had now continued for five
years. When the Select Vestry had seized upon
the goods of two spirited individuals, Messrs. Pot-
ter and Savage, for refusing to pay the church rates,
the Committee waited upon his Majesty's Minis-
ters, and obtained from them a promise to support
the Bill then before Parliament. For the la,t four
months they had been perpetually engaged in the
arduous struggle. He then proceeded to detail,
at great length, the progress of the contest ; the
parish, he observed, would, in a ,hort time, be
called to elect forty men to represent the rights of
the rate-payers in the Vestry, and also five auditors.
Sir SAMUEL WHALLEY and several other gentle-
men then addressed the meeting, which passed off
with great spirit and harmony.
