SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,
TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY.
The crowded state of the room yesterday afternoon said little
in favour of the attractions of the list at Newmarket : it was
crowded until near seven o'clock, and business was the " order
of the day." Coldrenick and Attila wore steady at the prices
rooted below, the former with occasional backers until near six
o'clock, when a Noble Lard checked the disposition to invest by
a I offer of 1,000 to 400. Nothing of any consequence was
dyne on the other under 4to 1, but at that figure two
or three were willing to get on. Canadian and Auckland were
stationary; not so two of Scott's non-favourites, Jack and
Meteor; the inclination to back the first was general, and its
effect on his position was shown in an improvement of six
points compared with the latest quotations from Newmarket ;
Meteor's party, if, more select, was strong enough to give him
a decided lift. Lasso had a host of supporters at 25 and 20
to 1 ; the last bet was 2,000 to 100; and the layer would
have gone on. Chatham was in force at 22 to 1, and at the
finish would have been taken for choice against Lasso. We
have guessed The Lord of Holderness at 18 to 1, which we
take to be pretty near the mark : nothing was done outright
about him. Tiptoe was quite out of the market.
A few Oaks bets were made at the old prices.

B. C. Plates—Lord Kelburne's colt made the running to the
Duke's Stand, where Barbara took it up, Flambeau waiting on
both till within a few strides of the Chair, when he quitted the
rear for the front, and won easy by half a length; the colt was
a good third.
Plate A. F.—The Bizarre filly, with Joachim and the Re-
tainer colt in attendance, cut out the work to the Bushes-hill,
is descending which the Retainer colt went in advance, fol-
lowed by Mountain Sylph ; this pair kept in front to the last
half dozen strides, when Ma Mie went up with a rush, and won
in a canter by two lengths.
SUFFOLK STAKES—The Currier made play at a good pace,
Rory O'More, Una, and the Devil-amongst-the-Tailors lying
next, with Ralph and Bob Peel in the rear. Rory O'More de-
clined at the 'l'. Y. C. post, the second place being taken by
the Devil-amongst-the-Tailors. The Currier maintained his
. lead to the corner of the Plantations, where Bob Peel and Ralph
went past him, and at the Hill singled themselves out to the
finish. The struggle home was very close, Bob, without ever
being fairly caught, winning by half a length with considerable
difficulty. The Currier wars beaten four or five lengths, and the
others were tailed off a long way from home.

NATIONAL PROVINCIAL BANK
OF ENGLAND.
The Ninth Annual General Meeting of Proprietors of
the National Provincial Bank of England was held
yesterday at the Company's Office, 112, Bishopsgate-
street.

E NGLISII MINSTRELSY
ON WHIT-MONDAY, MAY 16.

Upon the motion of HENRY WAY:MOUTH, Esq., seconded
by W. H. SHARP, Esq., JOHN MELviLtn, Esq. was crlled
to the Chair.
Sir G. LE1V1.7.: wished to be allowed to ask, before
they proceeded with the general business of the meeting,
when would be the most convenient time for him to call
the attention of the Board of Directors and of the Share-
holders generally, to a 'circular letter which he believed
had been sent- to each'fitiareholder.
The CHAIRMAN suggested to the Hon. Proprietor that
it would be more convenient to allow the business of the
day to proceed, and that after the completion of it, he
could call the attention of the meeting to the circular in
question, if he was desirous of doing so.
The advertisement calling the meeting having been
read by the Secretary,
The CHAIRMAN said t iat he would not detain - tlte.
meeting by au y rent but would, with
their permission, p • at on read the Report.
The following Report was then read :
" The occasion on which the Proprietors are now as-
sembled is that of the Company's Ninth Anniversary
Meeting,.
" It is with much satisfaction that the Directors are
again enabled to meet the Proprietors with an announce-
ment of continued prosperity, notwithstanding another
year of great monetary pressure and commercial distress.
" Since the last general meeting the Directors have
been.solicited by respectable and influential parties to
open branches in various localities, but although much
gratified with such proofs of public confidence, they have
not deemed it expedient to extend the Company's ope-
rations, except to Shrewsbury and Dover.
" The failure of a long established private bank, isi
Shrewsbury, made an opening, of which the Directors
were induced the more readily to avail themselves from
having branches in the neighbourhood, and from a vo-
luntary promise of support having been made to them
by several wealthy and influential inhabitants of the place.
The Directors have much pleasure in stating that the
branch thus opened at Shrewsbury has been attended
with more than usual success.
" Towards the close of last year, the favourable
termination of a negotiation with the Dover
Bank, placed the Company in possession of that
highly-respectable concern, which had been car-
ried on for nearly a century and a half with such suc-
cess, as enabled Mr. Fector, its only surviving partner,
to retire for the enjoyment of his ample fortune. The
arrangement with him has been concluded upon advan-
tageous terms for the Company, and the Directors have
much pleasure in stating that the valuable connection to
which the Bank has thus succeeded has considerably in-
creased since the junction took place.
" As regards the previously established branches, a
steady and satisfwtory progress is being made, and in
some places especially, which have suffered by the fail.
ures of private banks, a considerable increase in the de-
posits has taken place ; a striking manifestation of the
growing conviction in the public mind of the superior
security which Joint Stock Banks afford.
" Notwithstanding a general augmentation of the
business and resources of the Company, the Directors
have to state, what the meeting cannot be altogether
unprepared to expect, that the adverse occurrences, dur-
ing the late unprecedented period of commercial diffi-
culty, which so seriously affected all classes of the trad-
ing community, have prevented that increase in the
yearly profits, which, under more favourable circum-
stances the Directors would have to exhibit.
" The Directors will not, however further anticipate
the usual Statement of Accounts, which they now beg to
submit to the meeting .
Jan. 1, 1841. Amount of undivided s. d.
profits at this date
Dec. 31. Nett profits of 1841, after pay-
ment of all current expenses, a portion
of preliminary expenses, and making

IT IS A PRINCELY DOMAIN, AND ONE OF THE MOST
INFLUENTIAL PROPERTIES 'IN THE MARKET.
A man of rank,

WHO WOULD REPRESENT THE COUNTY,
and is inclined to field sports, will:find this a real godsend. The
Castle is large and ancient, but the situation is quite irresistible,
with a view to improve it, and render it adapted to a man of for.
tune. The views arc perfectly beautiful—it is a sylvan panorama.
The hills which ascend in gentle acclivity from the river, are
clothed in full-grown Timber. it is seated in a beautiful valley,
one of the most enchanting throughout South Wales,
ON THE BANK OF THE WYE,
and there are walks extending two miles, adorned by magnificent
timber, THE ESTATE EXTENDS OVER

SIX THOUSAND ACRES,
of which there is near

THREE HUNDRED ACRES OF LAWN AND RICH
WATER MEADOWS.
THE MANORS EXTEND TO TWENTY
THOUSAND ACRES,
independently of the domain, ut.connectsd with t'fi.estate, which
is also well supplied with game throughout The I;bm:Sant shooting
is famous, and the salmon fishing admirable, and there is a

SHOOTIIsTG-BOX IN THE CENTRE.
There are several small farms, and the home demesne connected
with Langoed Castle may be estimated at 1,200 acres. The estate
being chiefly grass is free from the Suctuatioß of corn, and the pre.
sent rental is about

FOUR THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED A YEAR.
There are TWO A DVO MONS,
within three miles of each other, giving additional value and con-
sequence to the purchase,which is altogether one of such importance
that a Nabob will be fortunate in the possession of it. The Duke
of Beaufort's moors adjoin this estate.

Mr. Robins strongly recommends this little principality to his
Friends and the Public, as a very sound investment—Covent-
garden.

"From the above account it will be seen that an addi-
tion has been made to the Reserve Fund of 5,6811.
. _

" In conclusion, the Directors beg to state generally,
that the affairs of the Company have never been in a
more satisfactory condition, and to assure the Proprie-
tors that no efforts on their part will be wanting to main-
tain the high position which the establishment has ac-
quired.

. " The Directors who at this time go out of office by
ratation are—

Patrick Cruikshank, Esq.,
C. Henton Ellis, Esq.,
H. Twiss, Esq. ;
all of whom are eligible to be re-elected, and offer them-
selves accordingly.
" The death of Philip Courtenay, Esq., and the re-
tirement of Joshua Scholefield and Archibald Hastie,
Esqs., have left three vacancies in the Direction, to sup-
ply which the following gentlemen, all qualified Pro-
prietors, and who have given the necessary notice, offer
themselves as Candidates, viz.—

Walter Bentinck, Esq.,
George Hyde, Esq.,
George Lynch, Esq."
Mr. STEWART said that after the statement which had
been just made they all had cause to feel deeply grateful
to the Directors who, at a time of distress unprecedented
in the annals of commercial transactions, had maintained
the position of the Bank in a state of prosperity that
must be satisfactory to all.—(Cheers.) He believed
that never, at any period, had there been a greater de-
gree of commercial distress than at the present ; yet, not-
withstanding all this, the Bank had gone steadily
onward in its successful career. He did not know
that he need make another observation to in-
duce the meeting to adopt the Report, but he
could not sit down without directing the attention
of the meeting to one observation made in the Report, in
the truth of which, seeing the source from which it had
emanated, he bad the utmost confidence. It was stated
there that the Bank had never been in a more solid
or prosperous condition than at the present moment.
That observation struck him forcibly, and served to show
the skill, the energy, and the prudence, with which the
affairs of the Bank had been conducted!—(Cheers.) He
begged to move that the Report be received, adopted,
aNdprinted for the use of the Proprietors.
Mr. HicliErrs seconded the resolution. At a time of
unexampled pressure in- the money market, they had
been enabled to increase their.rest fund by nearly 6,000/.
Every gentleman 'present must be aware of the great
effect which the present- state of commercial distress had
produced on the money market. He had for thirty-
six years been engaged in money transactions, and
never during that period had so disastrous a year
rolled over the monetary market as the year
1841. The Directors must have managed with
great care, prudence, and skill to have maintained
their resent position, and he thought the thanks of the
Proprietors were eminently due to them. No one ac-
quainted with the state of the money market could avoid
admitting that the Directors must have exhibited great
care to have avoided disasters as they had done. With-
out wishing to interfere. in the least in the management,
he -would :bike' lett're t 6 offer the suggestion to the exe-
cutive, that-Whetiefer the Directors might think it ne-
cessary that
,the capital of the Company should be in-
creased, they should do so at the time most proper, and
in the manner that should seem to them most
fitting.---(Hear.) He thought that whenever the Di-
rectors should feel authorised to make a further call,
while they managed the concerns of the Company as
they did at present, that call would be obeyed.
An lIGN. PROPRIETOR—It had not been his intention
to offer any observation, had it not been for a remark
which had fallen from the gentleman who had just sat
down. He did not anticipate that there would be any
necessity for an increase of their capital. If any one
thing more than another had conduced to their prospe-
rity, it was the steady method in which their business
had been conducted, and he trusted they would not in-
volve themselves in any new concerns without using great
caution.

The motion was then put, and declared by the Chair-
man to be carried unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN said the next portion of the business
was the filling up the vacancies in the direction occa-
sioned by the Directors going out by rotation. The
Directors going out of office were P. Cruickshank, Esq.,
C. E. Ellis, Esq., and Horace Twiss, Esq. Those gentle-
men were capable of re-election, and offered themselves
for re-election accordingly.
P. Cruickshank, Esq., C. E. Ellis, Esq., and H. Twiss,
Esq., were then unanimously re-elected Directors.
Mr. HORACE Twxss, on the part of his colleagues and
himself, returned his most cordial thanks to the Pro-
prietors for the confidence which they had again reposed
in them, and assured them that it would be their en-
deavour by their services to give them satisfaction.
The CHAIRMAN said it now became their duty to fill
the vacancies in the Directorship occasioned by the death
of Mr. Courtenay, and the retirement of Mr. Hastie and
Mr. Scholefield.

Mr. C. E. Exam said that Mr. Tw•iss had just returned
thanks for himself and those who with him had been
re-elected to the direction of their affairs. He had
now to propose a new candidate for their suffrages,
Walter Bentinck. Esq., of Gloucester-place, Portman-
square. He had long felt a deep interest in the pros-
perity of the Bank. He had not only taken a great
number of shares himself, and induced several members
of his tamily to do the same, but he had shown the con-
fidence he reposed in them by nominating them as trus-
tees for those who were most dear to him—his wife and
children, thus showing that he looked forward to the
growing prosp(rity of the establishment. He had been
brought up in habits of business, and had been for many
years a Member of the Council and Auditor at the Cape
of Good Hope. lie thought it would be for the benefit
