The weather has been very fine this month, April showers
quite unknown ; indeed, with the exception of a slight shower
on the 14th, no rain has fallen during the whole.
During the past week several large houses have been taken,

THE ISLE OF WIGHT BANKING COMPANY.—At -
meeting at the Bugle 1.,n, Newpr-rt, on the 25th inst..
sufficient number of shares having been taken, three Directors
were elec'ed, Messrs. Roe and Thasliford (to be considered
one), Sir Thomas Cooke, and Sir. Rouert Eames, the two
others. It was resolved that no' Director should Lie allowed
to over•draw his account above 500/., it being the gene-
ral opinion that when Joint-stock &aka have gone wrongr
it has been by the Directors over-drawing their accounts, W
embark in ruinous speculations. The present Directors • er°
not specuiating men, nor likely to require - accommodation,
but future Directors may ; the resolution is therefore a gee&
One. The business of the new establishment, it is extreetod,
will commence in about ten days, and will, we hope, inspiro
that cor.fidence it de.erves. The numerous failures that hats
occurred in the Island e ithin the last twelvemonths have bees
ruinous to its trade. There may be said now to be no priV...ate
banking establishment in the Island; the last being embodle°
in this new Joint-stock Hank.
