The Shareholders of the Bank of Ceylon held their
first annual meeting to-day, at which was declared a
dividend of 6 percent. for the year's operation of the
Company. Ihe Report of the Directors, and the a&
dress from the Chair, represented the prospects of the
undertaking as highly promising, and the assistance
which the Government is aftbrding is regarded as
satisfactory evidence of the good favour in which they
stand. On a capital already subscribed of 73,8751.,
the nett profits are stated at 6,653/. The English
Shareholders have* paid 68,730/4 and the Colombo
Shareholders 6,145/. A branch bank has been opened
at Candy, -and from the universal support the present
establishment has received at the hands of the mer-
chants, every success is anticipated.
The following communication relative to the Spanish
Treasury Bonds has been received from the Foreign-
office, by Mr. Tasker, Chairman of the Committee :
"Foreign-office, Oct. 19, 1842.
" am directed by the Earl of Aberdeen to
acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 14th
inst., containing a further exposition of the grievances
to which the British holders of the Spanish Treasury
Bonds of 1836 have been subjected by the failure of
the Spanish Government to discharge the pecuniary
obligations which it had contracted towards them ;
and I am to acquaint, you in. reply, that Lord Aber-
deen has spoken to the Spanish Minister at this
Court respecting the case of these Bondholders, and
has shown him the papers which accompanied your
letter of the 21st ult, ; and that General Sancho has
in eoasequeliee promised to address a representation to
his Government upon the subject of the claims of
this class of Spanish creditors.
" I am,. Sir, your most obedient humble servant,
" 11. M. ADDINGTON."
We are assured, from an authentic source, that,
notwithstanding the positive terms in which the in-
telligence is given, there is not any foundation what-
ever for the statement which appeared in our paper
of yesterday, that Mr. Dowding and Mr. Fennings,
Surveyors-General of the Customs, have been sas-
pended.

CHRONICLE.—The national securities continue
firm, being well supported by investments made in
444 444 by the public, We have heard of one puT,
chase to-day stated as high as 70,66/. fl-ir money,
although it has been named at little more than half
that amount in other quarters. There were, however,
several purchases made by different brokers through-
_
in consequence im-
proved ate-day, and Cons2k have
proved if per cent.
The Committee for altering the hours of 'Change
met to-day, and finally resolved on giving official no-
tificatiou the noy regulation. We understandithat
the delay complained 'or rgggaill the deliver of
foreign bills, and • bills left for acceptance, was not
oYerlooked, and that the leading capitalists have, with
their usual eonsidapation, expressed • their wish to. ob-
viate all reasonable objections In regard to these mat-
ters. Foreign bills will
.now be delivered not later
than four r.m. (a saving of fwo hours complete), and
we doubt not that bills of exchange left for acceptance
viii ah....q be delivered earlier than they have been for
some time past. There is reallynothing unreason-
able int
this request,
weree
arest,anrdecweieved
withgra a due desire totified to learn that
our suggestions
remedy the complaints which had been made to us. It
is understood that the improvement suggested in the
hour of beginning the produce sales by Mr. Cook
will be followed up, and that, in fact, an en-
tire hour may be gained in all descriptions of mercan-
tile business in the klty, The reform will be com-
prehensive, and will, in effect, put business forward
one hour at least. Were this not to be done, the al-
teration in the hours of 'Change would soon become
nugatory; and matters would relapse back to the old
lazy plan, so that the merchants would be employed at
" huh^ and seek " in the dark, during the greater part
of their attendance oh ?Chapg,e
hosipess in winter. The
movement now made,to be permanently useful, should
be general ; and the alacrity with which the new sys-
tern was adopted by the mercantile interests,as exhi-
bited by their voluntary assemblage in such unusual
numbers on 'Change at three o'clock, before the pub-
principle is generally
lication of the official notice, proves distinctly that the
approved. The public officers
in the Excise and Customs must comply with the ge-
ral wish, arid remove the objeptions that have been
stated against the improved system on the groundthat
they do not appear in sufficient time to enable the
merchants and traders to adopt it, without subjecting
themselves to inconvenience or even loss. The infe-
rior functionaries must be in attendance at the bonded
warehouses, and bonded timber-yards much sooner
than they have been of late, and must be given to un-
derstanct that they are Servants of the public, instead
of acting as if they were the masters, and the public
little better than their slaves. The superior officers
will, no doubt, see that all just complaints are set
at rest.

THE NEW ROYAL STABLES AND
RIDING HOUSE AT WINDSOR.
These extensive and most substantially erected
buildings for defraying the expense of which Parlia-
ment voted the sum of 70,0001., shortly after her Ma-
jesty's accession to the throne, have just been com-
pleted (the sum expended having been brought
within the amount of the Parliamentary grant) ac-
cording to the original designs of the late Sir Jeffrey
Wyatville, under the immediate superintendence of
Mr. Ashton, the late Sir Jeffrey's successor.
As in the course of a very few days they will be
given up to the Earl of Jersey, the 'Master of the
Horse, for occupation, and the horses and carriages of
her Majesty transferred to them from the upper and
lower mews, at Windsor, and the chief of Prince Al-
bert's horses from Cumberland Lodge in the Great-
park, the following description of the new stables and
riding house (which, in each of their vast internal ar-
rangements are most admirably adapted for all the
purposes for which they will be required), cannot fail
to interest our readers; the more especially, when it
is known that the miserable and inconvenient sheds
into which the Royal horses and carriages have for
years past been " poked," are of such a confined and
meanly constructed character as to have excited the
surprise of all who have seen them, that the Sovereign
of England should have been, for so long a time, so
wretchedly provided with stabling and carriage houses
at Windsor.
The buildings (the architectural style of which is
in perfect keeping with that of the castle) are on the
south side of, and about 150 yards from the Royal
residence. The whole frontage towards the Home
Park extends to upwards of 300 feet. The stabling
and coachhouse department occupies three large
quadrangles, quite distinct from each other (being
divided by high stone walls), each quadrangle, which
we will now describe, being perfect in itself. We will
commence with the
UPPER OR NORTH QUADRANGLE.
This portion of the Royal stabling (which is
situated the nearest to the Castle) is to be entirely
appropriated for the saddle horses and ponies of her
Majesty. It contains fivo distinct stables for thirty-
eight hams, via., one with twelve stalls, three with
six stalls each, and one with eight stalls. It likewise
contains standing room for twelve carriages, in two
portions (six in each) of the square.
THE CENTRE QUADRANGLE,

has been considerably altered, by being cased and
stuccoed to resemble stone, and rendered in keeping
externally with the general character of the new
stables. It has also been much enlarged by the addi-
tion of several rooms. It now contains fifty-four
rooms, and will be converted, under most excellent
arrangements made by Mr. Cocum, the clerk of her
Majesty's stables, to the exclusive use of the married
servants in the department of the Master of the Horse.
It contains also two large eating or mess rooms, with
extensive ranges for cooking, and two other large
sized rooms, with coppers also for the purposes of
cooking, with upwards of thirty separate cupboards
(all the servants in this department having board
wages), each having a lock and key, for„ the use of
each domestic.

dergo very extensive alterations and improvements.

MI D D LE SE XSESSIOISI S.
THE EAGLE TAVERN.—On the application of Mr.
Rouse, of the Eagle Tavern, City-road, to have his
license for music and dramatic entertainments re-
newed, a memorial, signed " James Hudson," ;was put
in and read. It set forth the opinion of the memo-
rialist as to the immoral effects of such places of en-
tertainment, and prayed that the license should not be
renewed. The memorialist being called to sustain
the allegations, did not appear.
Mr. BODKIN (with whom was Mr. CLARKSON), on
the part of Mr. Rouse, submitted that the Court
could not entertain the memorial, which was thus
abandoned by the memorialist himself.
The Conar, after same discussion and a division,
decided that the memorial should be laid on the table.
Mr. CLARKSON then, at great length, addressed
the Bench, in support of the renewal, and presented
and praying for the continuance of the license. Mr.
Rouse had expended several thousand pounds upon'
the improvements of the premises ; and, at a cost of
upwards of 1,0001. a-year, he had complied with the
suggestions made to him by that Bench some years
ago. Since the first establishment of these enter-
tainments, there had not been a single police com-
plaint arising from any occurrence of any kind upon
the premises. If the license were withdrawn, between
thirty and forty persons would be thrown out of em-
ployment in the musical department alone.
Mr. WiLas (late M.P.), as a Magistrate, gave his
opinion against the renewal, and addressed the Bench
at great length upon the horrible immorality prevail.
ing in the metropolis, which he ascribed mainly to
music licences.
The CHAIRMAN trusted that the Court would per-
mit him to address a few observations to them upon
that occasion.—(Hear, hear.) He was anxious to do
so, for the purpose of setting right an impression
which was abroad with regard to his opinion on the
subjeot then under consideration. He had in certain
quarters been misrepresented, and he wished that his
opinion should not go forth to the public in a way
calculated to bear more than the real interpretation—
that interpretation which alone he desired it should
clearly convey.—(Hear, hear.) It had been said by
some persons, amongst other parts of the misrepresen-
tation of his opinion, that he was the patron of these
musical licenses. Allow him, then, to explain the
views he entertained with reference to them. It
appeared to him that the real evil with regard
to them was far more deeply rooted than that
Court could reach. In anticipation of the present
discussion, he had looked through the Act of Par-
liament, under the provisions of which that Court
had been in the habit for a long series of years of
granting musical licenses to the proprietors of taverns
and tea-gardens in the vicinity of the metropolis, and
no one, on perusing it, could do other than see that it
had been framed in the most hasty manner. The
Act was passed about 90 years ago, but happily under
circumstances of a different nature to any that existed
in the present day, to meet and correct some para..
. cular evils which had arisen from the then political
state of the country, by patting a stop to the Jacobi-
nical meetings which were at that time being held
in the various taverns. When they lOoked at the
district which was comprised in this Act, they
could not fail in at once seeing its absurdity. The
Act comprised a district extending 26 miles from
London—a distance which, 90 years since, was doubt-
less a day's journey from the metropolis; but, in 1842,
it was perfect nonsense to conceive that such an Act
could be made effectively available. Could anything
be more absurd than that at Reigate, in Surrey, a
small town, a man could not have music and dancing
in his house without a license; whilst in the largest
manufacturing towns in the kingdom, Manchester and
Birmingham; such things could exist without any re-
striction ? Beyond this, too, the Act was still more
absurd; for, whilst it gave the Magistrates authority
to grant these licenses, it failed in extending to them
the power of interfering in cases of misconduct.
(Hear, hear.) Neither had the police any power to
interfere in the event of an improper use being made of
the privilege. The Magistrates had no power under the
Act to see that the regulations were properly carried
out. As applicable to the present day, the only stringent
points would seem to be that the proprietors of houses
having these licenses should not commence their per-
formances before five o'clock in the afternoon, and
that they must cause a notice of such license to be
painted up over their doors. One of the main fea-
tures of the enactment had been, that all persons who
were caught in these houses were to be treated as
rogues and vagabonds, and taken up and punished
accordingly.—(Hear, hear.) But this latter part of
the statute had been repealed, so that in fact there
was no power of punishment in the Justices except
that of •a refusal to renew the license on the ensuing
application. It was notorious, too, that there were
some houses which had been kept open without any
license. It had been well said by George 111., that
he hoped the day would come when every one of his
subjects would be able to read his Bible. No person
could more cordially join in that sentiment than him-
self; but it.should be borne in mind, that whilst they
gave every one the means of reading the Bible, they
at the same time gave them the means of reading
other works.—(Hear.) The result of this was, that the
great mass omifnott

lectual in the nature and character of their pursuits.—
(Hear, hear.) The people, then, having become more
intellectual, it became the duty of those who had the
means of doing so to p_rovide them with some intellec-
tual amusements.—(Hear, hear.) If such amuse-
ments were not thrown open to them the Court might
rely upon it that the people would seek and find them
for themselves.—(Hear, hear.) The old system of
sitting and setting in a public-house was, thank God,
happily being abandoned by the lower orders of society,
and rational and intellectual entertainments must,
therefore, be provided for them.—(Hear, hear.) The,
great evil was, that there was no Act of Parliament
authorising the opening of proper places only for the
performance of music, except that which compelled
the Magistrates, on regular application being made to
them by respectable parties, to grant these licemes to

He did not wish to name any particular place, but it_
at that moment occurred to his mind that some such
room as that of Warnum's Music-hall, which was, he
believed, entirely devoted to music and musical pur-
poses,uwanted these places separate and distinct

or two occasions in having witnessed the vast multi-
tudes who had flocked to the Musard Concerts at the
theatres. The crowds he had seen there had filled
him with wonder, but not more so than had the ex-
cellent conduct of mass who were present. But
this was one of the admirable results of education.—
(Hear, hear.) All, therefore, they had to do was
to find places where the large masses of the
intellectual inhabitants of the country could be
accommodated with a view to their rational and
moral edification and amusement.—(Hear, hear.)

which is divided from the north by the riding-house,
is intended for the exclusive use of the saddle horses
of his Royal Highness Prince Albert. It is divided
into four distinct stables, to accommodate twenty-five
horses, viz., one with seven stalls, one with ten stalls,
and two with four stalls each. It likewise contains
three loose boxes (most admirably contrived) with
saddle and cleaning rooms, and appropriate offices.
There are no carriage houses in this division of the
Royal stabling.

• POST.—The failure of two commercial houses,
one in this city, the other at Liverpool, both of them
being firms of some standing, was generally spoken of
dining the afternoon. The well-known and much
respected firm of Evans, Fostwr, and Langton, of
Brrge-yard,.which was
particularly in the Ceylon trade, has been under the
of late years interested more

It seems that the holders of Goldsmid's Portuguese
loan are not satisfied with the mode of adjustment
tendered for their
acceptance by the Brazilian Go-
vernment. Mention is made in a morning paper of
to discuss the merits of
the proposition,
a meeting havingwhbleeehn

proposed to give the Brazil Stock of Samuel and

The abstract published
of the balance-sheet of Mr.
Henry Baker, as exhibited in the Court of Bank-
ruptcy yesterday, has been viewed by commercial
men as no ordinary curiosity. Mr. Yaker starts in
business a Corn Exchange speculator on a capital
of 5,974/. 9s. 3d., and, with this bagatelle, he con-
trives to run into debt to the extent of little short of
half a million. The debit side of the account is
made chargeable with, the sum of 34,364/. 16s. 10d.,
