The foregoing Report having ben read by the Secretary, the fol-
lowing resolutions were carried unanimously :-
1. That the. Report be received and adopted, and printed for the
use.of the Proprietors.
2. That many of the Proprietors this day assembled at the Annual
Meeting of the Company having received, during the last half-year,
various printed circulars, signed G. Stun, and many of them having
also received anonymous letters to the same effect, and, extracts from
such circulars having obtained publicity through the medium of the.
public press, declare— •
I. That from the information always afforded by the Directors at
the Half-yearly Meetings of the Company, and particularly after the
explanations given this day, they arc satisfied the statements in such
letters, whether printed or anonymous, are both false and malicious.
11. That they cannot too strongly express their indignation at these
unprincipled attempts to injure the Bank in the estimation of the
public, by attacking the public and private characters of the Direc-
tors, and those of several of the officers of the establishment, by per-
sons not connected with the Company, and whose dismissal (or
forced resignation) as officers is most amply justified by their subse-
quent conduct.
111. That they highly approve the conduct of the Directors in
leaving such publications unanswered, except at the periodical meet-
ings of the Company, and that they be requested to rely on the in-
tegrity and honourable feelings of the Proprietors for support against
such unprincipled attacks.
IV. That they deeply regret to hear that several private bankers,
In the districts in which the Company has branches, have been active
distributors of Mr. Sturt't letters, but believe that no gentleman,
after this declaration from those best able to judge of their baseness,
will continue to participate in their circulation. .And— •
Lastly. That they hereby convey to the absent Shareholders, and
the public, their entire confidence In the Directors, and in the ability,
energy, and zeal, with which they have conducted the affairs of the
Company ; and their deep regret, that in the honest discharge of their
duty to the Shareholders, they should have been exposed, collectively
and individually, to the accusations of Mr. Sturt and his accomplices.
3: That a Dividend at the rate of 51. per cent. per annum be de-
clared upon the Capital Stock of the Company; clear of income-tax,
for the past half-year, payable on and after Saturday, the 10th day
of February instant.
4. That the Balance of 8051. Ifs. 6d., remaining to the credit of
the Profit and Loss Account, he carried to the Guarantee Fund.
5. That the Thanks of this Meeting be given to the Directors for
the able manner in which they have conducted the affairs of the
Company during the past year.

rectors, for their remuneration for the current year.

the Company for the past year.
8. That Jonathan Barrett, Esq., Joseph Henry Wailer, Esq., and
John Donkin, Esq., be elected Auditors for the year 1844.

zeal and ability with which they have discharged the duties of their
several offices.

Messrs. S. and C. SOLOMONS, Opticians and Aurists, 39,
Albemarle.street, Piccadilly, opposite the York Hotel, have in-
vented Spectacle Lenses, &c., of the greatest transparent power—
immediately these newly invented Spectacle) Lenses are placed
before extremely imperfect vision, either by day or candle-light,
that mist and dullness which appear before the eyes are at once
removed, every object becomes clear and distinct, vision becomes
preserved and strengthened, and very aged people are enabled to
employ their sight at the most minute occupation, and can see with
those Lenses of a much less 'magnifying power, nor will they re-
quire the frequent changes to further helps, as the Spectacles now
in common use, so that the most aged imperfect sight becomes
bright and brilliant, and is brought to its youthful, natural, and
original state; those objects being accomplished is a matter of muoh
deeper consequence than can be imagined.
All kinds of newly invented INVISIBLE ACOUSTIC IN-
STRUMENTS, which enable individuals at an advanced age, and of
forty and fifty years' standing of extreme deafness, instantly to join
in general conversation, and to catch the sound of a distant low
speaker at church, theatre, &c. It pours the conversation into the
ears to such an extent that in most severe cases deafness cannot be
observed.

seven y. premium is required, the other half being payable at
at the convenience of the assured; thus allowing a Policy to be
continued for seven years at one-half of the usual rate, or to be
dropped at one-half of the usual sacrifice, and entitling the assured,
seven years hence, when loss of health may prevent him from
effecting a new Assurance, to continue a Policy at a rate of premium
applicable to an age seven years younger. The Ilalf-premium plan
of Assurance, as practised by this Company, thus enables persons
to retain to their own use the one-half of the premiums for the
first seven years, at 5/. per cent. interest. Thus, suppose the or-
dinary premium for an assurance of 5001. to be 101., the first pay-
ment by the half-premium plan will be five guineas, being the one-
half of the 101., and interest for the retained half; and, if dcatk
should occur in the first year, the sum of 500/. would be paid less the
5/. retained. The assured may thus have the use for the first year
of fl. ; for the second, of 10/. ; and so on till the end of the
seventh year, when the retained sums, amounting to 351., may either
be repaid, or retained at 51. per cent. interest until death, when the
35/. would be subtracted from the 500/. then payable by the Company.

Patronised by her Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and
her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent.
_

This valuable SITCCEDANEUIII for STOPPING DECAYED
TEETH, however large the cavity, is far superior to anything ever
before used, as it is placed in the tooth in a soft state, without any
pressure or pain, and in a short time becomes as hard as the enamel,
and will remain firm in the tooth for many years, rendering extrac-
tion unnecessary. It arrests all further progress of decay, and ren-
ders them again useful in mastication.
Prepared only by Mr. Thomas, Surgeon-Dentist, 68, Demers-street,
Oxford-street. Price 4s. 6d.; and will be sent free by post to any
part of the kingdom.
Mr. Thomas continues to supply the loss of teeth without springs
or wires; and has introduced an entirely NEW DESCRIPTION of
ARTIFICIAL TEETH, which will be found very superior to all
ethers, as they will never decay, nor become discoloured, and their
perfect resemblance to nature defies detection even by the closest ob-
server. This method does not require the extraction of any teeth or
roots, or any painful operation whatever. The charges will be found
much lower than most Dentists. _ _ .

CUE SECRET PASSION. By the author of
" Shakspeare and his Friends," &c. In this singularly in-
teresting work, so much talked of in the best circles, the
author has brought before us a heroine famous above all her
contemporaries, not less for her extreme beauty than for her
extraordinary attainments in an age wnen genius of the
highest order prevailed in both sexes to an extent never ex-
celled. In short, this gifted being is no other than the lady
immortalised by Ben Jonson in his matchless epitaph :
" Underneath this marble hearse,

Lies the subject of all verse—
Sydney's sister, Pembroke's mother.
Death, ere thou shalt find another,
Fair and good and wise as she,
Time shall throw his dart at thee."
It is only necessary to add that the whole interest of the
story of "The Secret Passion" lies in a clandestine attach-
ment the Countess of Pembroke is represented to have formed
with, in every sense, the most noble of the many distinguishd
characters by which she was surrounded, and from which
after mutual struggles, the result only occur to such natures,
both at last are disentangled by • means which still more
deeply excite the reader's sympathies.
CHILD BORN IN THE STREET.—It having been dis-
covered by a family resident in Pembroke-street, Devonport,
that a servant in their employ, named Ellen Johnson, was in
a state of pregnancy, the young woman was thereupon im-
mediately
dismissed from service. Having no home, and
being unable to procure a lodging, she slept in the streets on
Monday night, and attempted also to find shelter in a door-
way the night following, but the pains of labour suddenly
coming on, the poor creature was carried to the workhouse
by the police, whom she had brought acquainted with her
condition ; before, however, the gate of the workhouse could
be opened, she gave birth to a child. Mr. Winchester, the
parish surgeon, was instantly sent for, and every comfort
which the house could afford was given to her, and we hear
that both the unhappy mother and her offspring are now
doing well— West Briton.
EVERT LITTLE HELPS.—A new trade was com-
menced last week between Sunderland and London, by Mr.
Brabant, butcher, who sent to the metropolis by steamer,
from Mr. French's wharf, a consignment of sheep's carcases,
packed two and two in sacks.—Durham Chronicle.
BOYLSTONE.—There was interred in the church-
yard of SomerSal Herbert, in this county, on Friday last, an
aged couple (Richard and Ellen Phillips), the husband being
93—the wife 75. They were interred in one grave. The
great ages of the five last in the register are remarkable,
viz. :-87, 84, 82, 93, and 75 years. We very much doubt
whether any register in the county, or even in the kingdom,
contains anything like it.—Derby Reporter.
ANTEDILUVIAN REMAINS.—A few days since se-
veral elephants' tusks were discovered in the gravel near
Cainscross, ono measuring seven and a half feet in length,
together with a few bones and teeth. The depth at which
these remains were fond is nearly twenty feet from the sur-
face, and although they must have been buried many thou-
sand years, yet the exterior appearance of the ivory has un-
dergone but little alteration. An able practical chemist of
the neighbourhood has submitted a portion to chemical ex-
amination, and finds the earthy matters existing in the s?Tr,
proportions as in the ivory of the present era ; but, as
be anticipated, it was destitute of all organic ma ch
