CITY OF LONDON REGISTRY.
(THIS DAY.)
The revision of the livery lists commenced this
morning with that of the Playing Card-makers.
Upon the list of the Pewterers' Company bein
called over, the name of Thomas Henry was object
to on the ground of non-residence. It appeared ths,
the applicant was the Captain of a trading vessel!
and although he had, at one time, resided for a short
period at No. 7, Well's-place, Hackney-road, get
during the last twelve month 3 when he returned fr°lll
sea, he stopped at a boarding-house, although he h
a quantity of furniture at Well's-place.
The Court ordered the name to be struck off the
list.
Henry Aimes was opposed on the ground of 11,ot
residing within the prescribed limits of seven miles
from Guildhall. The Ordnance map was produed
Ir.
in court, and it appearing that the residence of It;
Aimes was within seven miles in a straight line, t a
Court decided that the objection was groundless, a°
awarded him costs.
Mr. Quin complained to the Court of the absent
of some of the clerks of the Companies. No leesr
than yesterday he met with two cases where persoil
perfectly qualified were objected to, and in 001151;
quence of the. absence of the Livery clerks, the
names were struck oil the list. He trusted that 11
Court would adopt some course that would rein°
this evil and injustice.
The REVISING BARRISTER said, that according to
.., I
the Act of Parliament it was the imperative duty 0.;
every clerk to be in attendance when the list of !11,
particular' company was called on, and he (the Revisit?:
Barrister) should take care that they should be nil inf
attendance before the termination of the revision
the livery lists.
The revision had proceeded as far as the Saltel"
Company when we went to press.

BANK OF ENGLAND _(THIS

DAY.)
A General Court of Proprietors was held tjsi°
day at the Bank of England. to consider of, and
rede-
clare a dividend. The notice of meeting also denia
that it would be one of the Quarterly General Cour'
appointed by the Charter.
At twelve o'clock the Governor, William Cotten'
Esq., took the chair.
The notice of meeting having been read by th
Secretary,
The GOVERNOR said that this was one of the
quarterly general meetings appointed by the Mute,'
and also a half-yearly one, under the bye-laws,. `"
consider of and declare a dividend, and having
considered the state of the Bank, Court
the
of Directors declared a dividend
of 3 per cent.
for the half year ending the 10th of October next, Ide-
ducting therefrom seven
Pen" in the pound, on ac-
count of the income-tax. It had been the custom et
the Bank from time immemorial to make up the se
counts of the Bank to the 10th of October, on the,
pp
estimate' made, but it now aeared desirable: that
the accounts should be made up in future, not from
the estimate made, which came as near the truth as
possible, but on the days on which the ordinary se
counts were made up, namely, on the 31st of August
and the 28th of February.—(Hear, hear.) After part
ing the dividend now proposed the estimate was thhan
there would be an increase of rest of 8,8001. The
real rest made up to the 31st of August, upon the
half-yearly payment of the dividend, would be some-
what more than 100,0001. less than the parent
the dividend if made up to the 10th of Marc • Ills
would then be a diminution in consequence of , 0
arrangement in the amount of the rest, because !"
accounts would be made up on the 31st of August In
stead of the 10th of October.
A PROPRIETOR asked whether the loss of 8910
by forgery had been deducted from the rest?
The GOVERNOR said it was not deducted.
Mr. THOMPSON asked whether it was the 11,
that no clerk should be promoted to the Transfer
office, till he had served ten or fourteen yeare„di.
some other department, where his habits and dier"--‘
tion should be known ?
The GOVERNOR said he was aware of no such his/
or practice. st
A PROPRIETOR asked what the entire amount °O le
would be on the 31st of August, after payment of
dividend ?
The GOVERNOR said it would be 3,069,298/. 13s. tOd•
The GOVERNOR then put the question, that a Ti"lg
dend of 31. 10i. be declared for the half year en the
the 10th October, deducting therefrom the 7d• in
pound on account of the income-tax.
A PROPRIETOR said he wished to know, before the
motion was put, whether there should not be e°11.1.10
statement made with regard to the state of the a'xal
of the Bank ?
The GOVERNOR said that the Board of Direc,tfro
had no objection to lay a full statement of the st`ors
of the Bank before the public if the ProPrien of
wished it ; but he thought they had the sanctiT-the
the Proprietors in not discussing before the world
state of their affairs —(Hear, hear.)
A PROPRIETOR wished to know whether the dank of
had made good the money lost by the forgeries
Barber and Fletcher, and the expenses enusequent
upon it.
The GOVERNOR said, Certainly not. That Wesl
forgery on the Commissioners for the Reduction
the National Debt, and not on the Bank.
Mr. L. LEVY said, that, notwithstanding the ft.eare
which had been entertained, it appeared thatlueck
was an increase in the rest of 8,8001., and their ut
had risen from 192 to 204, and they were now about
to receive a dividend of 31 per cent. That ivias ve
most satisfactory state of things, and he begged,'enand
to second the motion that the report be receive" --
adopted.
The motion was then put, and carried unaniin°ll,.slY:
The GOVERNOR said he had now to declare a aft),
dend of 31 per cent., and the warrants would
delivered and paid on Friday, October 11.

A PROPRIETOR wished to know whether
vernor could give a favourable account of the pro-
ceedings of the branch Banks ?
The GOVERNOR said, that they
same as usual with regard to profits.
The Court was then declared to be dissolved.

FOOT-RACE FOR 21:V.—Yesterday a large :con-
course of persons assembled at the Beehive Crickieet,
ground, Walworth, to witness the running match
tween Perch and Naylor. The distance contested w
over two hundred yards of ground and to leap whtee
hurdles. In betting Perch was the favourite. le
ground having been measured, the men appeared at ,t
starting mark, and at the signal they started, Perch t
slight advance ; at the fifth hurdle the men were over fill
one time, and ran together to the eighth, when Peril 1,1
and his opponent shot away ; Perch recovered his ic?
ground and pursued his adversary, and succeeded If
gaining upon him, and a spirited contest then ensued'
terminated by Naylor coming off the wiener „'
half a yard.
pIABOLICAL ATTEMPT.—About three o'clock 00
Friday morning a most diabolical attempt was made to
of the Rev. G. T. Most •n Linister
destroy either life or property, or both, at the residence
])aisy Field, Blackburn. It appears that a con-
siderable quantity of gunpowder was introduce
into the lock, and through crevices in the door
the train was partially tired, but not succcedu?g,
it was again tried, happily without the demonlle
result which the wretches evidently contemplated. It Is
hardly possible to conceive the motive which could have
dictated such a cowardly and ruffianly attempt nv
of St. Michael s
slaughter. Mr. Mostyn is, comparatively, a strangecli
among us ; enemies he has none to his knowledge, h3l'
what can have induced an attempt of this kind, whit'
would disgrace even the savage barbarian,
is utterly
mysterious and unaccountable.—Blackburn Mercury.
