Empowered by Special ket of Parliament.

THIS Company was Established in 1844, for
the Gurpose of opening to the pu; die an easy aud unquestion-
ably safe mode of Investment, with a high and uniform rate of Inte-
rest.

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 net immediately
convertible, it is well known yields the greatest amount of profit,
combined Vf th the most perfeet safety. - Farther, Loans made by.
the Company are collaterally secured by a Policy of Assurance on
the' life of the Borrower, or his nominee, effected at a rate of pre-
mium which secures the validity of the Policy against every pos-
sible con ingency.
Thai 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
increased from time to time, at the convenience of depositors.
A receipt, signed by two Directors, is given for each sum de-
posited.

doners, but soon they were at full work, and then for a
moment or two there was. no difference ; then the Lon
doners beean again to draw away and increa'ed their
lead a trifle off Remenharn, when the Oxonians, by dint
of a beautiful spurt, aiain became almost level wits them
and it was generilly .considered to be any one's race.
The London crew wade a sheer out, and then, in despite
of which, by their desperate rowing they sti l led, but
again the Oxonian's spurted almost level with them,
and challenged them to a continuance of their- ex•ra-
ordinary ex-rtions. The call was obeyed, and even
a few yards below Poplar Point it hung in the
balance. The Londoners had again made au urine-
cesutry sheer, and this drove their opponents perhaps
la little wider at the point than they should have been.
Here again a great effrrt was made by the Oxonians
to get in advance, but their opponents stilt held it
and continued to do so till the end ; No. 4 in the
Oxford boat working so stiffly at the last trying mo-
ment that he broke his oar within about a hundred
yards of the winning post. Tb.e Londoners came in
first by nearly half a clear length. Both crews were
loudly cheered, and well deserved it. The oars and
sculls of the London Bowing Club, which were much
admired, were made by Mr. Robert Bain, of Lam-
beth, and were on the same principle as those manu-
factured by him for Kelly, when - he defeated, Mac-
kinney for the championship of the Thames, and
I3uttle at Norwich.

This race was for a purse of sovereigns, subscribed by
the Regatta Committee. These were eight picked men
of the Londou river. For a very long way they were
literally oar and oar, and their position gave the winning
crew the advantage, ard they won by a length.

This was one of the great events of the regatta, or
doubtless would have been, but that the axiom, " the
race is not always to the swift," was verified, or at least
the expected winners were thrown out by accident. A
very good start was taken by all three pairs, who were
oar and oar for a few strokes, the Oxford boat, which
was in the centre, apparently possessing a slight front.
Soon the London boat shot out c f its course, and then it
was disco veredthat Mr. Nottidge had braken his stretchi r
directly after the start, and was unable to continue
the race. Messrs. Warre and Lonsdali then went well
in front, and won easily. A large sum of money changed
hands on this event, the London visitors having beoked
the race as a dead certainty.

It was a very fine race for a great distance, the two
crews being almost oar and oar, and it was not until
they passed Retnenharn that the Oxonians had a-decided
lead, which they gradually increased V) the finisfi, win,
ning by a couple of lengths.
This race finished the regatta, which, in point of qua-
lity, amply compensated for any deficieny in quanty of
sport.
