Empowered by Special Act of Parliament.
THIS Company was Established in 1844, for
the purpose of opening to the public an easy and unquestion-
ably safe mode of Investment, with a kigh and uniform rate of Inte-
res".
The plan of the Bank of Deposit differs entirely from that of ordi-
nary Banks in the mode of employing capital—money deposited
with this Company being principally lent upon well secured Life
Interests, Reversions in the Government Funds, or other property
of ample value. This class of securities, although not immediately
convertible, it is well known yields the greatest amount of profit,
combined with the most perfeet safety. Further, Loans made by
the Company are coupled with a Policy of Assurance on the life of
the Borrower, or his nominee, equal in amount to the sum lent,
effected at a rate of premium which secures the validity of the
Policy against all comingencies, in itself constituting a valuable
instrument of collaiera security.
Thus depositors are effectually protected against the possibility of
loss, whilst the large and constantly increasing revenue arising
from the premiums on Assurances thus effected yields ample profit
to the Company, and provides for all the expenses of management.
DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS may be opened with sums of any amount, and
ncrewed from time to time. at the convenience of depositors.
A receipt, signed by two Directors, is given for each sum de-
posited.

Sporting Intelligence.
TATTgRSA L"--MONDAY.

As usual only a partial settlentedt of the Epsom
bets was effected th'e 'afternoon. To-morrow, how-
ever, is, in accordance with cos' om, the day for the
final closing of accounts. The expectations of an
unsatisfactory Derby settling are likely to be most
agreeably disappointed ; money changed hands
with a frequency• which indicated ex raordinary
confidence, and certainly, so far as Monday is con-
cerned, " the winding-up act"• on no former occasion
worked so effec'ively. Even those persons whose tib-
sence was hinte 1 at ss more than probable were
amongst the first to show, and many others, who
were reported severely "hit," evinced, by the readi-
ness to meet their liandities, th.t they would on the
Last day be quite prepared t.) face their creditors.
To prove the extent t 3 which the settling was car-
ried to-day' we May state that Mr. Davis, with that
promptitude to discharge all claims upon hind for
which he has ever been distinguished, entered the
room with 20,000/. in his pcket, and quitted it
with 151. The -debts of a Sussex gentleman were
bought up at 7s. 6d. and 10s. in the pound, and
they who know ,the true state of his account enter-
tain no fears of his being enabled, with a little time,
to settle in full. Remarks of a too confident nature.
would; however, be :too premature until after to-
morrow.

Time was so occupied by the comparing and
settling of past accounts that scarcely an opportu-
nity was offered for,..opeoing new ones. For the
Ascot Cup sto 1 would have been taken freely
about Lance ;. 600 to 100 was b ,eked about Skir-
misher ; and 8 to 1 to 501. about Gemma di Vergy.

AQUATICS.

NAUTILUS ROWING CLUB.

The sccand match of the season of this.club took place
yesterday, and was a pair oared one for a pair-oared out-
rigger and money prizes. The race wee in three heats,
in the vicinity of the club-house, the Old Swan, Chelsea,
and owing to the extreme fineness of the weather was
witnessed by a great number of people.
First Heat.
The following were the competitors, viz :
Messrs. G. Crockett and J. Randall
Messrs. W. Robinson and G. Elsley Yellow
Messrs.Y. Flockard anti J. Dunkley Green
The distance was from Battersea Bridge down to a
boat at Chelsea College, up round a boat at the. Crick-
eters, and finish at the Old Swan. At starting Red ur.-
fottunately broke a stretcher, and was hors de combat.
Green went away from the others, and had a good lead,
which they kept to the College. On turning round they
became oar and oar, and continued so all tae distance,,
when Yellow won by aboul a length.
Second Heat.
Mews. J. Camm and B Obey White
Messrs. H. Windsor and T. Stevens
Messrs. J. Brown and J. Atkinson Blue
Distance was reversed. Camm and Obey took the
lead, and a capital struggle ensued between that-it and
Stripes "up to the Cricketers. Just after turning, the
latter went away with the lead, and, after being closely
pressed, won by two lengths. Blue were not far behind
at the finish. •

Grand Heat.
The following was the result :-r
Stripes
White
Green
Yellow

The dibta.ce was from the College to the Cricketers ;
then to the College again, and finish at the Old Swan.
Stripes took the lead, kept it all the way, and won just
as they liked.

PRINCE OF WALES AQUATIC CLUB.
The first match of the season of this club came off yes-
day, fer a silver cup and money prizes, and was capitally
coutebted. The distance rowed was from Lambeth Pier
to Battersea Bridge, for which the following took their
stations, viz.:—
Messrs. H. Bradley, T. Wells, T. Jackson, and
G. Bknshard ; A. Edwards, coxswain Red

Messrs. F. Hunt, C. Scott, J. Hogan, and J.
m•Quire ; E. Pratt, coxswain Green
. .
Messrs. E. Jeffries, W. Watson, C. Eyla, and
R. Moss ; G. Bowness, cox iwain

Messrs. T. Jackson, H. Faregrave, J. Hunter,
and F;Fricker ; W. Dineen, coxswain Pink
Messrs. E. May, J. Blanshard, C. Isaacs, and
J. Barnes ; T. Rapley, c. xiwain White

Red took the lead, pressed very closely by White,
when the former became clear at the Penitentiary, and
increasing their lead, won by four lengths. The raoe
between the second and thir,l (Green) was very close.
They were oar and oar to Chelsea New Bridge, where
White began to go. away. Green, however, stuck to
them, and were only beaten for the second place by half
a length. The fourth and fifth boats (Blue and Pink)
were close together all the way, but a long way behind
the others.

PAIR-OARED RACE FOR A. SILVER TEA
SERVICE.
Chelsea was all excitement yesterday occasioned by
there being a racy in heats, among trade-men, for a
handsome silver tea service, and other prizes given by
Mrs. Shaw, of the Yorkshire Grey, Cheyne-walk, Chef
sea. All the heats were very well contested, and the
manageinent of William Blake gave universal satisfaction.

First Heat.
The distance was from Chelsea Old Church down to a
boat moored off the Colle4a, up round the boat at the
church, and finish at the Yorkshire Grey. The follow-
ing started in this beat :
Messrs. G. Elsey. and W. Paptoe Pink
Messrs. W. Richardson and P. Flockard White
Messrs. W. Ryder and Southan Red
The man who should have rowed instead of Ryder was
ill, and as the latter bad to row in the second heat he
did not exert hirawlf. White took the lead and kept it
throughout, closely pressed for a little distance by Pink,
White winning by three lengths.
Second Heat.
Distance was reversed. The following were the com-
petitors in this heat :
Messrs. W. Ebb and J. Camtn Blue
Messrs. Ryder and P. Green Green
Messrs. G. Arnold and F. F.,x Yellow
Webb and Camm took the lead at starting, and kept
it for 200 yards, when a good race ensued between them
and Ryder and P. Green, the latter finally going ahead,
and winning by three or fnur lengths.
Grand Heat.

finish at the Yorkshire Grey. The following was the
result :

BIBLIOGRAPHIC CIIRIOSITIES.—Two of the rarest spe-
cimens of xylogranhic or block books, cut entirely on
wood, which were the precursors of printing by twang
of movable types,
have recently come into the poses-
sion of Messrs, Boone, of 19, New Bond-sireet. Of
these the first in point of rarity is the Liber Reguns, or
Life of David, pictorially illustrated with two woodcuts
on a page, with descriptive text beneath, and extending
to 20 pages. So littie is known of this work, printed
about the year 1450, that it escaped Heinecken, who
specially devoted his researches to the history of early
printing. Brunet and llibden are alike meagre in details
—in fact, but one other copy is known to exist, and
that is in the Imperial Library at Vienna. The other is
known as the Biblia Pauperunt, of which facsimilies
have been given. The copy in Messrs. Boone's posses-
sion corresponds with the description given by Heinec-
ken as being of the first impression, a copy of which
sold at Willett's sale for 245 guineas. Both thesevolumes
..are in a matchless state, being uncoloured, not pasted
back to back, as is generally the case with similar book,
as the A n Moriendi, Apoealypsis S. Johannis, &c., bu'
the leaves are set, as in books of ordinary printing, with
the reverse blank. The margins also are of ample di-
MellaiQnS.

THE WEST INDIA MAILS.

SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY NIGHT.
The Royal Mail Company's steamship Parana,
Captain Bevis, has arrived with the West India,
Mexican, and Pacific mails and dates froin Vera
Cruz to May 6 ; Havantiab,loth ; Greytown, 6th ;
Jamaica, 12th ; Porto Rico, 16th ; Demerara,
10th; Grenada, 11th ; Trinidad, 11th • Barbadoes,
12th ; St. Vincent's, 11th ; Antigua, 12th ; Colon,
9th; CarthagenT, ; Tobago, 10th ; and Sr.
Thomas's, 17tra.
This steamer -bringa 297 passengers, and on
freight specie, value $3,161,860, and pearls, value
$4,35t). Her cargo include; 69 scrams cochineal,
469 serous bark, 55 serons Jalap, 140 cases eke-its,
386 bales tobacco, 33 casks coffee, 49 bales sar-
saparilla, 78 bags cocoa, 48 packages vanilla, and
175 packages sundries.
The squadron was leaving Canhagena when the
Dee arrived. Her Majesty's ship Arachne and
Falcon were at Vera Cruz.
Yellow fever is again appearing at St. Thomas's,
and there have been t few cases among the Royal
mail steamers stationed intereolonially. The Pa-.
rana on her homeward voyage hLs also suffered
from yellow fever, and a few cases have terminated
fatally. Lieut. Pearson RN., expired on board on
the 23d of May of disease of the heait.. M. do LA
Massuo, passenger from Martinique, died from
rupture of a bloodvessel on the 22d of May. •
At Barbadoes the Road Bill had passed the
Council. Mr. James Walker had left for St. Vin-
cent's to undertake the administration of the Go-
vernment.
e:Ceopattotieratiottkawere. not so fortvardeats they
ought to be on account of irregular windie Great
activity prevailed in the produce markets. Sugar
and molasses were greatly in deniaticl,- and prices
had advanced. Latest quotations- were, sugars $7l
to s7i per 1001 b.. ; molasses, 40c. to 41c. the gal-
lon. The stock of breadstufs on hand had largely
increased, and the depression in the market
consequently continued. The health of the island
was generally good.
Tbere was a lull in local -politics at Grenada.
The sugar crap proceeded with uninterrupted suc-
cess, and the canes were yielding satisfactorily. A
shock of earthquake was felt for about 30 seconds
ou the 30th -April, which, with distant thunder,
drizzling rain, and other symptoms, indicated an
approaching change of weather. The: health of the
island was good.
From Trinidad we have favourable accounts of
sugar-making. The weather had been of the best,
and the canes were yielding a fair quantity of very
sweet juice. The crop was nearly taken off all over
the country. A shock of earthquake was felt on the
same day as at Grenada. The young canes were
springing satisfactorily. A favourable change. of
weather had taken place at St. Lucia. The bark
Enterprise sailed for London on the 4th of May
with produce. Her Majesty's brig of war Atalanta
arrived on the 4th on a cruise, and sailed again on'
the 6th.
From Jamaica dates are to the 12th of May. The
Africans captured by ber Majesty's ship Arab had
not yet been distributed ; the Jamaica Despatch of
the 11th says:--
" We have it now pretty accurately ascertained
that the slave trade between the coast of Africa and
Juba involves the export from Africa annually of
from 40,000 to 50,000 slaves, of whom about 30,000
reach their destinatian alive. It is clear that the
preventive service on the West Coast is wholly un-
equal to the suppression of this trade. The extea-
sive. seaboard, the numberless creeks and. rivers
which characterise the African dot.st, and the
watchfulness of the patties engaged in the trade,
combine to render any attempt, at effectual sup-
pression wholly impracticable in that dire3tion, If
the trade is to be put down—that is to say,
if the British Government be really desirous of
permanently suppressing the traffic—'he most
effectual mode of doing so would be to remove
the blockade froth the African coast and to.station
it on the coast of Cuba The slave trade with
Brazil was put down not Ir, the lkfrican squadron,
but_by the rigid blockade of the few Brazilian ports
at which alone the illicit cargoes could be landed.
It would need .a larger squadron to effect the same
object in Cuba, but the end. is equ.lly attainable by
the same Means. At present and for many years
there has been, in-fact, no preventive service what-
ever on this coast of Cuba. A few of the seven or
eight vessels of war on this station have occasion-
ally, no doubt, when not: otherwise occupied, or
when ihformation has tfeen received of an expect.d
slavcr, been ordered to cruise off the east arid of
Cuba in the hope of picking up a prize ; but no
vessels whatever have been specitkUlly allotted to
this important service, nor has there been any con-
stunt effort made to -intercept a trade which for a
multitude of reasons is the most watchful in the
world. What we Would suggest is, that half-a-
dozen small steamers of light draught—sailing
vessels are not adapted to the service—should be
specially devoted by the Adinikalty for the suppres-
sion of the slaVe trade on the coast of Cuba. For
this purpose coaling depots should be established
at the most accessible ports of the north side of
Jamaica, where the steamers can also provision and
water fom time to time as may be requisite. Torts
Antonio and Lucca are probably the beat places
that could be selected for such a purpose, and, if
three small steamers were stated at these ports, two
might be constantly at sea, While the third was tak-
ing in coa's, water, and provision,. If these vessels
were on the constant look-out off the east end and
along the south-eastern coast of Cuba, we venture
to say that three out of every four cargoes of slaves
destined fur that island would be captured."
The weather was variable ; city in some parts of
the island and showery in others. A smart shock
of earthquake was felt on the 10th. The Jamaica
Despatch says,--: •
" All the vessels of war at Greytown, with the
exception of her Majesty's ship Orion, had bean
ordered home. The Orion remains on the station.
We presume the difficulties with then: Grenadian
Government have been satisfactorily arranged."
Exchanges on London at Jamaica and colonial
banks were quoted-90 days, A per cent. pm.'; 60
days, 1 per cent. pm. • 30 days, 11 per cont. pm. ;
private bills, par on New? York ; merchants' bills,
li‘per.cent. pm.
Ordinary quality of coffee was worth 455. per
100lha. Sales of flour at 38s. to 395. per barrel, but
held at 40s. No mess pork at market ; prime mess
held at 105 s. Rice sales at 13s. 63. Prices of rum
had advanced.
Pacific files of papers have not come to hand.
There has been 4 great disco Very of gold at Upata,
in the province of Venezuela. The gold is exceed-
ingly pure, and the quantities realized are beyond
- belief. Two miners discovered in ono day 34
ounces. The gold found is. principally in large nug-
gets of from 4 to 5 ounces.'
