IVESTEBN BANK OF LONDON.

The first general meeting of the shareholders was held
yesterday at the offices, '2l, Hanover-square. Mr. J.
A. Roebuck, M.P., chairman of the board of directors,
presided, and was supported by Alderman Wire, Major-
General Bagnold, Sir Frederick Smith (deputy governor),
Mr. J. H. P. Chichester, and other directors.
Mr. SHRWARD, the secretary, read the report, which
stated that the directors, in accordance with the provi-
sions of the charter, had called the shareholders toge-
ther, in order to submit to them a general statement of
their affairs, ending the 30th of April last. They
would be prepared to submit a detailed statement
of their profit and loss account after the 30th of June, at
the end of the financial year. The bank wzs established
because it was believed that the western part of the me-
tropolis needed and could support an independent joint-
stock bank. The experience of the past year had proved
the truth of this anticipation, for in spite of unprece-
dented circumstances arisingfrom the excited and dis-
turbed state of mind in the mercantile public, the bank
had steadily advanced, had weekly increased the num-
ber of its customers, and by the cautionary mode of
its Pr-oceeding had strengthened the public confidence
r its stability and eventual success. The result had,
in a great measure, been due to the labours and ex-
perience of the manager, whose valuable services
the directors were so fortunate as to secure, and the di-
rectors had much pleasure in thus publicly stating their
estimate of his aid and conduct Mr. Williams, actuary
of the English and Scottish Life Assurance Company,
and Mr. J. Nettleton, secretary to the Legal and Gene-
ral Life Assurance Company, bad audited the accounts,
and although the time had not arrived for a complete
audit, had examined the accounts up to the 30th April.
Toev shewed a balance on the profit and loss account of
5,998/ 131. 9.1. _ _

Tile report was adopted. Mr. Gibbee and Mr. Simp-
son were re-elected directors. Mr. T. H. Harman and
Mr, T. Clarke were elected directors in the room of Cap-
tain L. Vernon and Mr. Burn, who retired.
A vote at thanks to Mr. Rgebuck and the directors
closed the proceedings.

M.R. SPEAKER IN JEOPARDY.

Among the numerous incidents that have occurred
during the few days the House of Commons has been
swearing in the members, one happened yesterday that
was very near resulting in an unpleasant detention of
the Speaker in his chair for an indefinite period. The
swearing-in of the members was pretty brisk in the early
part of the day, but as it drew near 4 o'clock the groups
that came up to take the oaths and subscribe the Par-
liamentary roll became "small by degrees and beauti-
fully less," until the last one only numbered three. As
they were introduced to Mr. Speaker they passed round
by the back of his chair and left the house. The last
one who was presented was Mr. W. W. F. Hume, the
member for Wicklow, and after the formal introduction
was over, he staid chatting with the Speaker for about
three minutes, and was about leaving the house, when
Sir Denis Le Merchant called the Speaker's attention to
the fact, that there was not another member present to
move the adjournment of the house. Mr. Hume was
accordingly requested to return and do that kind office
for the Speaker, or he would have been unable to leave
the chair until some hon. member could be procured to
release him. Mr. Hume at once returned, and, taking
his seat-at the Treasury benches, said, " Mr. Speaker,
I move that this house do now adjourn." There being
no member present to move an amendment on this
motion, it was carried by the mover, and the Speaker
retired.

apprehend any great amount of resistance to the
equalisation of the poor-rates throughout London.
At present the clergy at the west end often had a
large amount of money placed in their bands 'for
purposes of charity, and did not know where to
besiow it. The doputatiOn were moving in this
matter simply because, as clergymen, they saw that,
in s rite of all th 3 burdens of the district; the poor
were not adequately relieved.
' Canoe 011AMPNEYS al,o wished it to he understood
thatthe clergy now reprpsented had no desire to em-
barrass the Government, but came for Ward because
they felt most ketnly the living starvation iu which
the poor Wet e kept in the ea,tern districts of Lon-
don. He had been 20 years in Whitechapel, anti
often at his dc,or had poor perions come on the
very verge of starvation, receiving a timely meal,
which had sometimes saved mother and child from
perishing in the stree's. The children of their
schools had been fed by hundreds simply to keep
them from starving.
Mr. BOUVERIE was afraid this was an indication
that those charged with the adtniuistration of tho
poor,rates did not do their duty. He was afraid
that be had a keener appreciation ofthe difficulties
t be encountered than the deputation seemed to
possess. But, though he was not prepared to initiate
any Parliamentary action, he promised that if the
subject came before the Government in this way it
should releive dispassionate consideration.
Mr. 111`0ALL asked wiie'her the GOvernment
would onpo e any application for a committee of
inquiry i made by an independent member.
Mr. BOUVERIE could not undertake to answer
tbis quest on. It was hardly right to anticipate
what the Government would do with respectto any

byputheical motion which might be submitted to
the House of Commons. When such a motion was
submitted they would decide what course it would
be proper to pursue.
After some further conversation the deputation
retired, thanking the President and the Board for
the patient attention with which their statements
had been received.

We recommend to all ship-owners the purchase o
the charts lately prepare] by Government, showing
the prevailing winds of the great oceans. A shoat
time -inly is iiecet,sary to make any intelligent ship-
master familiar with the mole of applying the in-
formation they contain, which may be the means of
shortening very much the duration of extended
voyages, such as to India, Australia, &c. The
principle adopted is very simple, though much
trouble and a careful examination of ships' logs was
necessary before the results could be arrived at. Our
readers will better understand these charts by a
short explanation being given. Suppose a point
taken on the Atlantic Ocean, the next process is by
means of all the records to be met with, to ascertain
the direction of the wind at this point during the
year; this being ascertained, a line is drawn which
not only shows the direction, but the duration and
the mouths in which it prevails. Other winds are
taken in like manner, until a star is formed on
the chart, a glance at which enables the
mariner to ascertain that, on an average of years, at
certain periods, the wind blows in one arc for a cer-
tain period. The chart being covered with such
stars, it is only necessary to fie(' out, the point where
the proper wind is to be met with to enable a master
to make an almost certain passage at any season.
In the case of a vessel doubling the Cape of Good
Hope, the chart at once, according to the season,
shows the very line in which the fair wind may b 3
expected ; so that if there be two vessels, the one
furnished with a chart and the other depending on
the chance of a wind, it will occur that while the
' one is becalmed, or baffled by a head wind, the
other, by keeping a little more north or south, as
instructed by the wind chart, may not require to
alter a sail for days at a time. We earnestly recom-
mend our shipowners in the foreign trade to fur-
nish their ships with these charts, which, we have
no doubt, will' be found to cause such a saving of
time as will increase the relative profit on the
freight.—Belfast Mercantile Journal.

fore us the author of ' Jane Eyre,' and higher praise we can scarcely
give to a novelist. The interest never flags. The bcok cant': t
to make a sensation. The author deserves to awaken as strong a
sympathy for the white sufferers of our do nestle circles as Mrs.
Beecher Stowe did for the American negroes."—John Bull.

SCOTCH DEER FOicESTS.

The reports from the deer forests are even more
favourable than the accounts we are able to supply
as to the moors. Last winter was no mean severe,
and, the breeding season being excellent, the herds
have thriven extremely well. As one correspon-
dent observes, " there never was a better sward of
grass among the mountains at such an early period
of the year. The deer, therefore, must soon be as
fat as pigs." In the Duke of Richmond's forests
of Glenfiddich and Blackwater, says a correspon-
dent, " the deer were never more promising fur a
good season. They are showing fine heads and
cleaning off the old hair very fa-t. The grass is
very good, and if the fine weather continue they
should be in excellent condition by the middle of
August. The early fawns look strong." Another
correspondent, writing of the same forest, says,
"The young fawns are so thriving and so far forward
that they are running in front of the herds—leading
the van." A correspondent, writing of the Mortlach
shootings, says, " The plantations in that dibtrict
appear pretty well stocked with roe deer." A Strath-
avon correspondent says "TheGlenavon forest, which
lies between Tomintoul and the Cairngorm range
this year abounds with deer. It is, in fact, covered
with both stags and hinds, with few if any barren
hinds to be seen. The stags are fast getting into
good condition, and beginning to take to the high
grounds. I have no doubt but by the time Lord
H. Bentinck visits his shooting quarters he will
find his forest all that he could wish." A corres-
pondent, writing from Duthil, with reference to the
shootings occupied by the sportsmen who re-
side at Carrbridge, says " They have a
large park of the forest enclosed, where there
are a great number of roe deer in first-rate con-
dition, and so ne red deer have found their way
into it. We expect there will soon be a stock of
both in the park. Present prospects promise good
sport. Equally gratifying accounts reach us from
Ross-shire. A gentleman having frequent oppor-
tunities of learning the state of the leading forests
west of Inverness towards Strathglass an Glen-
Urquhart, says, " The deer are in exci llent condi-
tion. Sportsmen may venture a shot in August this
year, instead of as usual waiting until the 15th
Sept."—Banffshire Journal.

THE SOUND DUES BILL.

The Earl of CLARENDON, who was very imper-
fectly heard, was understood to say that in rising to
move the second reading of the Sound Dues, bill he would
not detain their lordships by many observations. The
Sound Dues,, as their lordships were aware, arose from
the right inherent in every Power to impose duties or
taxes on the commerce carried on within its own juris-
diction. • They bad been asiknowledged by all maritime
nation s in various treaties, which had formed part of the
international law of Europe, for upwards of, 300 years.
The first treaty made between England and Denmark
on the subject of these dues bore date of 1491. As com-
merce increased the inconvenience of the tax became ap-
parent, and for many years past attempts had been made
to get i id of it by means of compensation. At the beginning
of last year the Government of the United States gave no-
tice that they would no longer pay the dues. Communi-
cations then took place between the Danish Government
and the various States interested in the matter. A con-
ference was held at Copenhagen, and the Danish Govern-
ment proposed to abolish the dues upon the payment of
compensation to the amount of 3,890,0001., which was
apportioned among the different Sates according to data
furnished by the Dani -h Government, of the accuracy
of which there was no doubt. This led to a treaty which
was signed in March last by her Majesty's Government.
By that treaty the amount of the payment to be made by
England was fixed at 1,125.000/. The Danish Govern-
ment oleo consented to reduce the transit dues over the
difficulty, and led to considerable discussion, the Danish
Holstein railways. This,t however,
herightottiliveas a
other matterStates
Government denying
terfere with the management of the Holstein railways,
which was simp'y a riot of internal administration.
But the other States contended that they were entitled
to insist upon a reduction of these dues, inasmuch as
they bad been imposed for the purpose of compelling
goods to be carried by way of the Baltic instead of
by railways, and so of facilitating the collection of
the Sound Dues, and the result' was that the Danish
Government consented to reduce the transit dues by
four-fifths. The amount of Sound Dues paid by
England was about 75,0001. per annum ; but, ac
cording to the statements of the witnesses examined
before a committee of the House of Commons which
sat last year. and especially those of her Majesty's Mini-
ster at Copenhagen, the loss cccasioned by the collection
of the tax in the detention of vessels and the necessaiy
payinent of Leavy local charges amounted to a much
larger sum, one Or the witnesses computing it at 200,0001.

tion of the Sound Dues, and recommended the pro.

CHINA.

Letters from Hong Kong of the 10th May state
that at that date the Capricieuse French frigate,
the Marceau steamer, and the Nisus brig, were in
the roadstead. The Virginie frigate was on a cruize
visiting the other ports of the Celestial Empire, and
was to sail for the Philippine Islands about the
20th. She was to wait at Manilla for the arrival
of the Nemesis, which left France in January last.
Rear-Admiral Guerin was then to
give up the com-
mand of the squadron to Rear-Admiral Rigault de
Genouilly, who has his flag on board the Nemesis,
and return to France in the Virginie. Admiral
Guerin has been on the Chinese station for 5 years.
The
same letter mentions that Sir John Bowring.
the English commissioner, and M. de Bourboulon,
the French minister, were to leave in a short time
IV Singapore to meet Lord Elgin and Boron Gros.
important operation will be undertaken until
the arrival of these last-named personages.

A. letter from Copenhagen, addressed to the
National Gazette of Berlin, mentions a rumour that
it was in contemplation to very shortly publish au
aunnesty. The chiefs the most compromised in the
events of Schleswig-Holstein in 1848 to 1850—such
as the Dukc d'Augustenburg and his brother, the
Prince de Noer, the two members of the regency,
Beseler and Count de 'lnventlow- Prmtz, and
M. Prat/eke, who now holds a high office in the
government of Coburg—will, however, it is said,
be excluded from the benefit of the measure.

With reference to the late Canadian Railway disclo-
sures, the secretary of the Great Western of Canada line
nesires to point out that mainly through the vigilance
0f the English directors that company was entirely pre.
.erved from the schemes iu which it wan Ought to be

PAPER DUTY.
Mr. RICARDO asked the Chancelh.r or the Exche-
quer whether the Government would consider the ques-
tion of granting a drawback of duty on tissue paper in
the pottery manufacture, as in the case of the jacquard
loom cards?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that he had communicated with the Inland Revenue,
and found that the grounds for the drawback in the
jacquard loom car is did not apply to the paper used in
earthenware manufacture, and it would not be in his
power to reco►umend the drawback asked fort
