SPRING RICE, EEG., M.P. in the Chair.

The CHAIR3I.kN stated the objects for which the
Proprietors had been assembled. Their first busi-
ness would be to elect four gentlemen as Directors
for the year ensuing
The following gentlemen were then unanimously
elected :—Edward Blunt, Esq., Oliver Farrar,
Began, Esq., and Ward, Esq.
The Report was then read, which stated that the
results of the last year had fully confirmed the good
opinion the Directors had expressed at their former
meeting. Since that period four additional Banks
had been established; namely, one at Coleraine, one
at Kilkenny, one at Ballina, and another at Tralee.
In all they had established fifteen banks; and the
accounts that they lately received from all of them
were the most gratifying; and there was every lea-
sortable prospect of a profitable result to the Proprie-
tor, although there hadbeen, during the last year, a
reduction in the rate of interest, from five to four
per cent ; and that there had also been established a
Joint Stock Banking Company at Belfast— -yet, not-
withstanding, their profits had amounted to one-fifth
more—(Hear)—which enabled them to pay a divi-
dend at the same rate as lint year, and to leave an
additional sum to the fund reierved.

Mr. Alderman THORPE moved that the Report
be received, printed, and circulated amongtit the
Proprietors, which was carried.
ALFRED THORPE., Esq. moved the thanks of the
Meeting to the Chairman, which wa,, also carried,
and the Meeting dispersed.

Oa Wednesday evening, an adjourned inquest
was held at the Crown and two Chairmen, Dean-street,
Soho, before Thomas limos, Esq. on the body of ANN
PeornEiroa, aged SO years, who died suddenly in a com-
mon brothel. It appeared from the evidence on the first
examination, that the deceased, who lived in Little Coram-
street, Brunswick-square, was au unfortunate female ; she
had called, accompanied by her paramour, at a house of
accommodation, No. 10, Little Dean-street, Sohn, kept by
a v,e named Pater. She had been but a short time
in the horse before she complained to the landlady of being
taken suddenly ill, and asked for some water, which she
drank. In a few minutes she exclaimed she should faint,
and slipped off her chair. A surgeon was sent for, but
,on
hia arrival she had (teased to exist. Mr. MANLY, a aurgeon,
of'll, Dean-street, Soho, gave it as his opinion that the
unfortunate deceased died from excessive hemorrhage
from an ulcer in the left leg. The Jury not bring
satisfied as to the cause of the unfortunate woman's
death, adjourned the inquest in order that the body
might be opened. CHA OSWA LD, the beadle,
now stated, that he had applied to Air. ALLEN,
the vestry clerk, and informed him that the Jury ex-
pressed a wish to have the body opened. Mr. ALLEN
said, he would have nothing to do with it ; but as the
churchwardens would assemble at the workhouse at three
o'clock in the afternoon, he would mention it to them.
The jury now desired the beadle to go to the church-
wardens to ascertain what decision they had come tn. On
his return, he informed the coroner and jury that the
churchwardens would not go to the expense. The jury
expressed their astonishment at the conduct of the parish
authorities, and after deliberating for a considerable time,
returned the following verdict :—" That the deceased died
from an ulcer in the leg, and that It would appear it
ensued from natural causes, but there is no certain evi-
dence to the said jurors, the parish officers having refused
to employ a surgeon to open the body."
SP.OOKING AND MYSTERIOUS OCCUR •
RENp:..--On Sunday morning last,a woman named Maar
EASTWOOD, came by her death under circumstances of con-
siderable suspicion. The deceased, who is a widow, has
for some time past been living in a state of concubinage
with a man named ELIJAH Mama, a mechanic, in the
neighbourhood of Bank Top. On Saturday evening,
Mayans and the deceased were drinking together at the
Bull's Head public-house, in London Road, and about a
quarter-peat ten o'clock, they left that house together.
They were afterwards seen at the union Tavern, in Daarid-
street, near Garrett Bridge, where they stopped some time,
and between elevea and twelve, they went away in each
other's company. At that time they were both considerably
intoxicated. About one o'clock in the morning, the watch-
man found the body of the wretched woman lying quite
dead, upon the. flags, between the corner of Garrett
Bridge, and
the end of fishpond-street. Hee petti-
coats were turned up, and it is, supposed that aame
man bad abused her. It is said, that between twelve
and one o'clock, the cries of a woman were heard
proceeding from the spot where the deceased was found,
calling out "Oh dear, why do you hold my hands." The
body was taken by the watchman to the Union Tavern, to
await the Coroner's inquest. We understand that there
were no visible marks of violence on the body ; but some
suspicion having arisen that her death had been caused by
MaarEas, whose known turbulent and ferocious character
by no means tended to lighters such a suspicion, he was
taken into custay on Sunday evening. When appre-
hended, he denied haying been in company with the de-
ceased at all on Saturday evening. On Tuesday morning
at ten o'clock, an inquest was held on the body before Mr.
MILNE, at the Union Tavern. Reporters being (as usull)
excluded, we have not yet been able to discover what took
place at the inquest, or the precise verdict returned by the
jury. We understand, however, that the result of the in-
quest was eneh that MAN-FB9 wes rikehaxge4.—Milwh,q-
