SLE OF WIGHT BANKING
COMPANY•

(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)
At a meeting held at the Bugle Inn yesterday, the forma-
tion of this Company was finally agreed to, in shares of 1001.
each ; and of the 600 shares 300 were taken by the gentlemen
present ; 160 by Messrs. Blashford and Roe, 10 by Thomas
Sewell, Esq., 10 by Thomas Cooke, Esq., 10 by John Eames,
E.q., 10 by W. Squire, Esq. 10 by Alfred Mew, Esq., 10 by
Edward Way, Esq., 10 by A. Clarke, Esq. ; others took five
and three each. Messrs. Roe and Blashford acted in the most
liberal manner, gave all their interest to the present bank to
the new establishment, and agreed that any accounts that the
present Company might consider doubtful should be kept by
them, or a guarantee to be given for the full amount. Of the
clear profits 5 per cent. to be-shared amongst the Proprietors :
Messrs. B. and R. to take half the remainder for conducting
the business ; the remaining half to be then divided amongst
the Shareholders. There can be no doubt that the whole
amount will be subscribed this week, and that the new bank
will be opened before the close of the moath.
Tun Wnar.E.—This monster of the deep, which was found
in- Totland Bay, near Yarmouth, Isle of Wight, by the Coast
Guard, has been claimed for the Crown by the Vice-Admiral
of the Isle of Wight, and ordered to be sold by public auction
on Friday (this day); it is 72 feet in length and 33 in girth,
and a mit'e, or, as the seamen term it, a bull whale. The
boilers, &c.. used by the barque Ariel in her whaling voyage
are now at Cowes, and it is expected that some speculators from
that port will purchase this lish, and take it there.
The St. Ele.ena Regiment arrived at Albany Barracks on
Friday and Saturday, to Cie no small delight of our good folks
of Newport, who had not seen such a pleasing sight for some
years before.

INDIGESTIBLE MATTERS.—There are certain things
upon which the gastric juice has no power. The green co!our-
ing matter of certain vegetables, the husks of seeds, the rinds
of many fruits. You may, perhaps, have observed that dried
currants and the pips of apples never digest. Whatever passes
the stomach untuit:thed b) the gastric liquor, passes undis-
solved through the whole alimentary canal, provoking disorder
sometimes in its transit. These substances, therefore, are unlit
for a weak stomach. When the digestive powers are active,
and the bowels slow, they may perhaps be even useful. Thus,
brown bread—that is the indigestible bran or tegument of the
kernel of the wheat--stimulates the peristaltic motion of the
intestines, and averts. in certain persons, the necessity of active
purgatives --Medical Gazette.
Sixty men of the 63.1 Regiment have volunteered
into the 10th Regiment, under orders for India; and have
marched to join that regiment at Winchester.

The Committee met again this morning at the usual hour.
'f he room was immediately cleared; and the Committee con-
tinued for a short time in deliberation, but it was not stated
what was the subject under their consideration.
The inquiry into the vote of Jason Povey was continued.
John Giles, the bailiff of Sir William Clayton, was called by
counsel for the sitting Member, and deposed that he had from
time to time sold sheep to Povey, and that there had been con-
stant dealings between them.
The case was not decided on at the hour at which we went
to press.

LONGFORD.
The Committee appointed to try the merits of the petition
against the return of Mr. Luke White ( Liberal), for the county
of Longford, met this morning at eleven o'clock. It consists
of the following Members :—Mr. G. W. Wood, Mr. J. W.
Hendley, Mr. It. Ferguson, Mr. H. Halford, Mr. Mangles,
Mr. Forbes, and Lord Ashley, Chairman.
The sitting Members for the county of Longford are Mr.
Luke White and Col. H. White, who at. the last election each
polled 621 votes. The defeated candidate, and the petitioner
in the present case, is Mr. A. Lefroy, who polled 483. The
question raised by the petition is one that applies to
Ireland solely, as the validity of the election is
disputed only on the ground that a great number of the votes
for Mr. White (against whose return the petition is presented)
were rot possessed of the sufficient qualification of 101. a year
over and above all rent and charges.
The Counsel for the retitnner (Mr. Lefroy) are Mr. Ser-
geant Wrangham, Mr. Bere, and Mr. Lefroy ; for the sitting
Member, Mr. Austen, Mr. Robinson, and Sir J. Bailey.
The CHAIRMAN gave the usual intimation to the parties
with regard to costs, &c., and the clerk then read the heading
of the petition.
Sergeant WRANGHAM contended that the preliminary pro-
ceeding ought to be the opening the registry, which he said
had been the usual course up to 1837.
The Clerk of the Peace for the county of Longford was
called to prove the poll books, and an objection was taken to a
voter named James Dogherty, for the purpose of raising the
question.
Mr. AUSTIN said that this was an argument that would oc-
cupy a whole day, and he suggested that it would save time
and be more convenient, if the Committee would adjourn to
the next day, than to commence the argument at that hour
(one o'clock).
The Cs-tallow; asked if himself and Mr. Wrangham would
undertake to finish the Arguments on both sides in the course
of to-morrow.

Sergeant WRANGHAM saki he could not attend to-morrow
without the utmost inconvenience ; and the only possible
arrangement he could see that would accommodate his Learned
Friend—though he mentioned it with extreme diffidence to the
Committee—was that they should adjourn till Tuesday.
Mr. ROBINS iN suggested that Mr. Austen might go on with
his argument to-morrow, and that Mr. Wrangham might
reply on Monday.
Sergeant WRANCHAM could not undertake to say that the
arguments could be concluded in one day, as Mr. Austen
might claim a right to reply on his rejoinder.
The CHAIRMAN said the general feeling of the Committee
appeared to be to consult the convenience of the parties, and
therefore the Committee stood adjourned till• to-morrow at
eleven o'clock, when it will meet merely for the purpose of
adjourning till Monday.

ONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The extent of business in the English Funds has been trifling
to-day, compared with the two or three last. The pur-
chases which were then made were chiefly for reinvesting
the dividends now in the coui se of payment, and consequently
the principal operations now arc the deliveries of the
stock thus bought. Some bargains have, however, been made
in the Long Annuities by an influential broker, which has
given great firmness to the market. Consols are 904 4 for
Money, and 904 91 for the Account ; Three per Cents. Re-
duced, 894 90; Three-and-a-Half yer Cents. Reduced, 99
to 994 ; New Three-and-a-Hall per Cents., 1004 ; Bank
Stock 1661/2 ; India Bonds, it to 14; and Exchequer Bills,
36 38 prem.
With the exception of a few bargains in Mexican, the
Foreign Stocks are quite neglected. 'these have been im-
proved to 404 404 ; Colombian, 27i 27% ; Peruvian, 174
174; Spanish Old Bowls, 25; and the Three per Cent. Stock,
244 25 ; the price of the Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cent.
Stock is 521 523 ; the Five per Cents., 100 1004 ; Belgian,
103 104; and Russian, 1124 1124. •
Railway Shares are all good, and some purchases have been
made in the new Shares. York and North Midland at 324 ;
Midland Counties, 4014 ; South Western, 604 ; Great
Western, 94 ; Birmingham, 176 ; Manchester an Leeds,
New Shares, 3614 ; and Brighton, 37 37%.
The alteration in the rate of discount by the Bank of Eng-
land has caused the principal brokers to lower theirs to 34 per
cent. for first sort commercial paper.
There is not a single arrival from any quarter to-day. The
French mail even did not come to hand, neither were the let.
ters delivered until a late hour. The papers contain nothing
of commercial importance.
