A bundle of bank notes, to the amount of £1,900, which
lay on the table of a gentleman in Limerick, a few days ago,
took fire by accidental communication with the candle. and
the owner being short sighted. did not apprehend the dan-
ger until they were almost wholly consumed.
A meeting of the London and Westminster Bank was held
on Wednesday last. The profits for the )ear amounted to
£34,843 18s. Ild., and out of this a dividend of six per cent.
per annum had been paid for the balf•year ending 30th June
last, and a similar dividend was declared for the last half
year.

REPEAL OF THE UNlON.—Tursday last was signalised in
the municipal annals of Dublin by the motion of Mr. Alder-
man O'Connell in favour of a repeal of the union. The
learned alderman occupied four hours and a half in the re-
delivery of all the speeches be has ever spoken on the sub-
ject ; and the best part of the day being thus worn out, little
or nothing could be heard but the reply of Mr. Aldern ; n
Butt. On the rising of Mr. Guinness to address the hou,e,
it was then found too late to continue the discussion, and an
adjournment to Wednesday was the consequence. On the
latter day Alderman Guinness seconded the amendment ( f
Alderman Butt, and the debate was proceeding when the
Dublin evening papers of Wednesday went to press.
In the course of Tuesday morning, and the preceding
grain stealing. Five of
the prisoners were the responsible evening, seven men were taken into custody by the Glasgow
police, on a very serious charge of
keepers of three extensive
stores in Glasgow and suburbs, and the remaining two are a
baker and a person in his employment. The length of time
during which this system of theft has been going on is not
known, but it is believed that the gross amount of which the
factors have been robbed is very extensive. From the confi-
dential character of the men who have given way to dishonest
practices, no suspicion was attached to them ; the more
especially as they had it in their power to send away cart-
loads of wheat in the open day, which was ground into flour,
and afterwards disposed of for their advantage.

morning, respecting the transactions of the mint during

Troy, was £208,746 2s. I lkd., showing a seingnorage differ-
ence between market and mint value of £18,664 2s. 31-d. 3.
Old worn silver coin from the. Bank of England,. purchased
for re-coinage, nominal value, £20,000 ; mint value,
£18,157 2s. sd. ; showing a loss on the purchase of
£1,842 17s. 7d. 4. Copper bullion purchased, £499 12s. 2d. ;
mint value at £224 per ton, £1,189 3s.

the mint-office amounted to £192,852 of silver, and £1,314
of copper. 6. payments of silver and copper coin were
