The statement of the Bunk of England for the week
to the ltiih instant is more ectclusive than was the last,
as to the limit.tion of its business ; but this is not an
unusual movement at the present time of year. The
circulation was smaller, and the increased amount of
public deposits will account for the reduction,
taken in conjunction with the contraction, of
loans upon other securities; while a partial withdrawal
of private balances, and investments or advances on Go-
vernment securities, will serve, with increase in the seven
day and other bins, to explain why the circulation was
not even is a comparison f,f the last with the previous
week's extra demand for the precious metals. The follow-
ing more contracted, and Why, also, there was a s'ightly
return:—

The negotiation of bills of exchange on the principal
cities of the Continent was effected gPnerally, yesterday
afternoon, at about the previous r4tes, but there was a
slight decline on Paris and Antwerp. Trieste was a
shade higher, and Hamburgh firm.
The exports of the precious metals from London this
week have comprised about 210,000 ounces of silver and
4,100 ounces of gold, all to the continent, and chiefly to
Holland and Belgium.
The letters by the steamer from America are not yet
delivered, but the outline of the intelligence already to
hand is regarded as encouraging.

TILE CITY RECORDERSHIP.—We understand that
the three candidates for the Recordership vacant by the
death of the Hon. C. E. Law, M.P., are Mr. Sergeant Mere-
wether, the Town-clerk of the City; Mr. Edward Bullock,
the Common Sergeant; and Mr. Russell Gurney, the Com-
missioner. The Learned Sergeant is upwards of 37 years'
standing at the bar, and up to the period of his taking the
appointment of Town .clerk, about twelve years since, was in
caisiderable practice. The Common Sergeant has been 25
years at the bar, and for 23 years connected with the billy,.
courts of the City, seven years of which he has been we
known to the public as a criminal judge. Mr. Russellt
Gurney is of IS years' standing at the bar, and has te
about :even months an assistant judge of the Central Crimi-
nal Court, having been elected to that office on the
_promo-
tion of Mr. Bullock to the Common Serjeadn.ts ip.eeletlaihmaas

LITERAT URE.

TEN YEARS IN INDIA; or the Life of a Young
Officer. By Captain A. Hervey, 40th Regiment of
illadras Infantry. 3 Vols.
Notwithstanding the great number of works which
have been written on India, Captain Hervey's " Ten
Years" possesses to a certain extent the merit of
novelty. Not desiring so much to render his obser-
vations interesting as to make them useful, the author
has, in ensuring the latter object, effected the former
also. No guide-book could possibly be more valu-
able to the young voyager, and few travellers' tales
could prove more entertaining to the general reader
than the very minute and interesting details re-
corded in the ten years' experience of Captain Hervey.
The minuteness of these details it is that constitutes
their principal and most valuable attraction ; for
example, in the opening of the first volume
the advice respecting the voyage out and the first
landing in India i 3 calculated to be of immense ser-
vice to the inexperienced, because, instead of general-
ising, it enters into particulars and what to many may
seem very trivial details. Thus the Captain notes
down for the benefit of his voyaging comrades—
"lt is a very foolish thing to unpack your guns,
rifles, or pistols at sea. When once subjected to the sea
air, the rust accumulates in a wonderful manner, and all
the subsequent care bestowed on them will not keep
them clean. Both my guns were much injured by the
exposure, and I regretted afterwards ever having opened
them."

Again, on arriving at his destination, the stran-
ger is strongly warned against engaging
any of the eager crowd of servants seek-
ing masters, who gather round ~the unwary, and
with prostestations innumerable boast of their own
honesty and devotion:—" Spose, sar, you yemploy the
me, I be very good servant for master ! I die for
master ! Spose master want shoes ; I make 'em
from my roan ishkeen ! and master want to drink, I give
my roan blood ! I poor man, sar, but I honest man
too, sar"—such an address being,:of course, nothing
less than a prelude to a system of fraud and thieving,
if the " honest man" be so fortunate as to meet with
a credulous dupe. It is, however, quite unnecessary
to enumerate the many most useful and most
amusing hints which are here to be found collected.
Any persons about to follow the author's example
cannot do better than examine the records of Captain
H ervey's experience as a necessary preparation to
entering upon ten years ,in India on their own ac-
count. On the other hand those, who, staying "at
home at ease," prefer crossing the Line only in ima-
gination, will find in these three volumes a very plea-
sant and interesting introduction to the various pecu-
liarities of manners and customs, and scenes and inci-
dents which characterise a life in India. The style of
the whole composition is of that easy and colloquial
eharacter which at once places writer and reader upon
friendly and familiar terms.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
BUCKINGHAMSHIRE.
The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of this
company took plack yesterday, at the Euston Station,
for the purpose of receiving the report of the direc-
tors, and on other business of the company.
Sir Harry Verney, the chairman of the company,
took the chair at two o'clock, and the minutes of the
last meeting having been read and confirmed,
Mr. E. WATiinv (the secretary) read the following
report of the directors:—
" The accounts which accompany this report show
that the sum of 1,033,4691. 6s. sd. has been received in
calls, loans, &c., and that 1,031,790/. 6s. 103, has been
expended on the construction of the railway.
`• The directors are happy to announce that the Bill
for a deviation of the line between Islip and Oxford re-
ceived: the Royal assent on the 17th May last, and that
ttey contracted for the works authorised by that to be
constructed on the 3d August, on satisfactory terms
—one of the conditions being that the line from Islip to
the Banbury turnpike-road, within 2 miles of Oxford,
shell be ready for opening on the Ist of November next.
“In accordance with the intimation to that effect con-
veyed in their Nat report, the line from' Bletchley to
Banbury was opened, under the management of the
Loudon and North- Western Company, for pa,senger
traffic on the lit May last; and it is now being used also
for goods and minerals. The station accommodation
for the heavier kind of traffic, however, is not quite
completed, but it is rapidly proceeding. The directors
propose to open the Oxford line as far as Islip on the
16th September next, and to open further to the Ban-
bury road on the Ist November next. The remainder of
the line will be completed and opened early in the sum-
mer of 1851; and so soon as this has been effected the
formal lease of the undertaking to the London and
North-Western Company will be duly executed, and the
proprietors of this company will thenceforth receive out
of the funds of the leasing company the dividend gua-
ranteed to them by their Act or Parliament.
"The directors have to report a threatened violation
of the Oxford and Rugby Act, 1845, prejudicial to the
interests of this company, a violation all the more to be
deprecated, as it seems to have been countenanced by
permission of the Railway Commissioners, given possi-
bly under a inisapprehension.of the circumstances. The
directors have remonstrated with the gailisqly Commis-
sioners, and have again urged upon the Great Western
Company the preparation of those means of junction, and
facilities for interchange of traffic. which Parliament pro-
vided for; hitherto however no positive measures have
taken place." .
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, regretted the disagreement which had taken
place between this company and the Great Western
Company, but he believed that in the course that had
been adopted the directors had done the best they
could for the proprietors and the public.
After some discussion, the report was agreed to.
The auditors were re-appointed.
A vote of thanks was unanimously carried to the
Rev. Mr. Freemantle, a gratuitous ,chaplain on the
line of the works of the company ; and .also to the
secretary and the chairman, and the meeting sepa-
rated.

WINDSOR ROYAL REPEL.—The Royal Revel at
Windsor, on Monday, under the patronage of her Majesty
and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, promises to be of a
far more attractive character than it has ever before as-
sumed. Her Majesty has just caused a donation of 10/.,
and the Prince Consort of 51., to be forwarded to the corn-
mittee in aid of the expenses of the gala, which will include
wrestling, foot hurdle races, gingling matches, climbing
soaped pules, backswording, and other rural sports; to con-
clude with a splendid display of fireworks in the evening, in
the Bachelor's Acre. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of
Kent has also subscribed 51. Both the railways having ter-
mini in Windsor have arranged to run special trains, leaving
tile town at eleven o'clock at night, for all places between

BIRKENHEAD DOCKS.—On Monday last the I3ir-
kenhead Dock Company set three hundred stonemasons to
work on the construction of their wharf walls near the ex-
tensive warehouses belonging to them. The utmost activity

we understand the large float and seine of the large docks
in that locality will be sufficiently complete to be opened on
the Ist of October next—Liverpool -Vercury.:
COMBERMERE ABBEY.—The Noble Lord of this
fine old abbey, accompanied by Lady Combermere and the

per cent. on the amount of their several rentals, which de-
duction was made on Tuesday by his Lordship's agent, and
gratefully received. Lord and Lady Combermere are now
at Buxton, where they will remain for a short time, and
thence return to the filhey.—Cliester Courant.

NORTHAMPTON AND BANBURY.
The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
yesterday at the Euston Hotel ; Mr. E. H. Barwell
in the chair. The report stated that the circumstances
of the company remained exactly in the state which
the directors reported to the last meeting, and until
the effect of the Railway Abandonment Bill just
passed has been duly weighed as affecting the interests
of the company, the proprietors cannot determine
the course which may be best for their interest to
adopt. In the meantime the directors will continue
to give their best attention to the interests of the
company. The accounts showed that 28,3211. had
been received, and 2,8981. expended, leaving a balance
of 25,4231.

On the motion of the CHAIRMAN the report was
adopted.

GEACH said they were greatly indebted to the
directors fur the prudent course they had adopted in
not proceeding with the undertaking, and thus avoid-
ing an expenditure which might have been unprofit-
able, and otherwise injurious to the interests of the
shareholders.

The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks

stated that the guaranteed dividends of 5 per cent. and
6 per cent. on the shares of the company would be-
come payable on and after Monday, the 26th inst. The

On the motion of the CHAIRMAN the report was
adopted, together with the dividends referred to
therein.

Mr. TURNER having expressed an opinion that the
directors had very little to do, the chairman, Mr.
Kennard, and Mr. Masterman fully explained their
duties as directors and trustees to the company, after
which Mr. Turner expressed himself fully satisfied
that their office was not a sinecure.
It was stated that the rent was due by the Eastern
Counties Company the day before, and was punc-
tually paid on the same day.
The retiring directors, Mr. J. Bagsbaw, M.P., and
Mr. A. Hastie, M.P., were re-elected, and, after a

CORK AND BANDON.
The half-yearly meeting of the company was held
at Cork on Wednesday:; Dlajor Beamish in the chair.
The report stated that the result of one year's work-
ing of the half of the line between Bandon and Bel-

linhassig had been encouraging, and that the other
half of the line, to Cork, was in satisfactory progress.
Applications made for 1,080 forfeited shares, at 121.,
would enable the company to more than meet its lia-
bilities. The whole line, on a revised estimate, would
cost 250,0001., or only 10,0001. above the original es-
timate. The receipts for the last half-year had been
1,6961., and the expenditure 845/.
