Thaws are few subjeets in which the public ate wore directly interested than in a wand con- dition of our Banking ; and one of the essential elements of that soundness is a general and well-grounded confidence in their stability and good management. Whatever the real position of a Bank may be, any suspicion as to its means of meet ing its liabilities is a serious injury, not only to the Bank itself, but to those of its customers to whoa it lends money either by advances on security or by way of discount; and their temporary embarraasnaent reads upon all with whom they are connected in bovines. If the Bank, although perhetly solvent, should not be in a condition at once to command sufficient re sources immediately convertible, the evil is rendered far mare intense, and may, in addition to the injury we have already alluded to, compel a winding-cap, and involve, by the mere delay incident to such an operation, hundreds of persons, shareholders and depositors, in ruin. The Legislature may frame laws to punish dishonest administrators, bat it is equally important to secure, as 6r as possible, Joint-Stock Banks from those rumours injurious to their credit which idle or mischievous gossips are at all times of monetary pressure only too ready to circulate. It is inconceivable to us why the Directors and Shareholders of these establishments have not long ago adopted so simple • remedy against that danger as a better and more detailed form of belance sheet. Banking statements, those more especially which figure occasionally in the London oa:etto, are by no means calculated to impress the public with • conviction that the available assets bear a sound and legitimate proportion to the current liabilities. And the more successful the Bank may be as • trading speculation the greater the necessity that the public should be satisfied on that point; inasmuch as they are only too prone, if they think at all on the subject, or if such a train of ideas be suggested to them, to assume that fifteen or twenty per cent dividend on the capital cannot have been obtained without considerable risk. We will even go further. If the Banks themselves do not volun tarily adopt such a form of published accounts as shall afford the desired information, it should be made compulsory on them to do so. It is thought by many that such accounts would be tamed to mischievous uses by rival establishments; but we cannot undmatand . how, if a Bank be redly sound and well managed, and if such a state of things be demonstrated by the items of its Balance-Sheet, thew facts can be made use of to its disad vantage. To as it appears that of all modem of advertising that would be the most legitimate, and the most likely to attract customers. If, en the contrary, the weakness or ill-management of alas& were betrayed by its accounts, every possible induce nest would exist to check and avert the danger before it became unmanageable; or at the wont the necessity of bringing its affairs to a awe bake they had become hopelessly involved mold be fared upon its Directors, and the lass coannaset on its in. judicious or unlucky management would be confined within the narrowest compass. No one whose attenCon has been directed to the subject can forget how seriously the Money Market has been from time to time affected, when rowan have been abroad shaking the public confidence in Joint.litock Banks. Within the last few months, even, we have felt the effects of them, and of the singular reports and guesses to which they give rise. In the Provinces the effect is still greater than in London, and when such rumours are rife the Bankers are compelled to fortify their reserves of gold, diminishing the amount of bullion held by the Bank of England, and the sums at its disposal for its ordinary advances. It will be easily understood that this process, when car ried on by several Banks having a considerable ante circulation, may easily produce most serious consequences. In the awe of London Banks, not circulating their own notes, the evil takes another form, compelling them to cripple general mamma by restricting their advances and discounts. We have more than once alluded to this subject, and we trust, now that the Legislature is occupied with devising additional securities against frauds by Directors and Trustees of Joint-Stock Companies, the banking world will not neglect so favourable an opportunity of de vising and adopting sane general form of balance sheets and statements which will tend still farther to establish public confidence in institutions the value of which, we think, can hardly be over-rated. THAT " they° is sae law for the rich and another for the poor" is so often practically illustrated in England as to piece the fact beyond dispute. And while undeniable as regards the community at large, it is no lass trate ss regards particular amass.

PARIS, WF.DNINDAY 111f-YINO. I have before me the report of M. l)evinck, the reporter charged by the committee of the Corps Le gislatif to draw up the report on the bill on the Bank of France—M. Mimi, the reporter originally named, having declined the office, on the ground that he was one of a minority of two in the committee. M. I)ewinck regrets much that the Council of State should have rejected an amendment by which the privileges of the Bank, instead of being granted ab solutely up to the year 1897, were to be subjected to revision in 1877. It is also a subject of regret with the committee that the Bank should not be placed under Innso &Ways to discount bills at ninety days date. With regard to the first point—that of a revision ti the statutes at the end of twenty years from the paosst time—the report says that the majority of Mission has not changed its opinion. It costumes to be firmly convinced that tho govern ment is wrong not to have taken the measure of precaution, but, nevertheless, being of opinion that the measure as it stands contains considerable ame liorations in th , ncession of the Bank privilege, the committee rem, •he adoption of the bill. It is oonsidered very doom.. er the Corps Legislatif will be induced to the bill this swim. The Previa mays it has reason to kpow that the controversy in the Neufchatel Conferepee between Prussia and Switzerland as to the mode in which the renunciation of the Xing of Prwwi , ;s original de mend of a million of francs *to be effected has been resolved in fr.

The i.-urt will stay at the Tuileries rather longer than was expected, and, according to present ar rangements, will not go to St. Cloud before Sunday or Monday. There has been a downward reaction at the Bourse today. The Itente fell Ioe. for cseih, and 2.5 c. for account, cloning at 69k. 30c. and G9fr. blobilier fell 10fr. The railways were quoted from 3fr. to 10fr. lower, with but little businow doing. News arrived at the Bonnie that the general meeting of the shareholders of the Austrian Railway was held at Vienna at nine o'clock this morning. It is an nounced that the dividend is fixed at 301 r., and that 2,000,000 fr. had been placed in the reserve. This intelligence caused some speculative business in the Austrian lines, but they ultimately fell from Bfr. to 10fr. M. David, the present member of the Corps Legislatif for Libourne, in the department of the Gironde, has written a letter to the Siiele, express ing his astonishment that while he in occupied in Paris with his legislative duties, M. Armin should have announced himself to the electors as a candi date, supported " by the Emperor," before the time has come for the issue of any official list of govern ment candidates. M. David says be does not know whether M. Arman be really the government can didate or no, but at all events it is his (M. David's) intention to offer himself again to the electors, and at the proper moment he will ask the Weir to pub lish his address. The Independmat dr rOrest, a Legitimist journal, replying to a taunt of the Sleek, challenging it to support its theory in favour of abstention, declines to bring forward any arguments on the ground that it was ordered by the authorities, several weeks ago, to abstain from all di+cussion relative to the elec tions. Forty-four individuals were placed at the bar of the Correctional Tribunal of the Seine to-day, on a charge of belonging to a secret society called the Francs Juges. One of them is accused, in addition, of having struck a magistrate on the bench. The trial is expected to last several days, bat, as usual in like eases, the proceedings will not be made public. Yesterday, at the Porte St. Martin Theatre, an individual advanced to the front of the centre boxes while the curtain was down between the acts, and, cutting a string which held together a large packet of papers, sent them floating over the pit. At first it was thought that he was an advertising agent; bat on inspecting the papers it was found that they accused the government of deceiving the nation, and pretended that it would be easy to fix the price of bread at three sous and of meat at seven. The papers were written in a female hand. The man disappeared before any attempt was made to arrest him. A letter from Damascus stab's that Abdul-Kader has been authorised to reside for some time in the neighbourhood of Tiberias, and that he ocompies himself there with farming.

I think, however, that my usual rule may be fol lowed, of believing one-half, so that I have reduced the number of the travellers to the Spanish princes and their wives, and his Royal 'Highness the Count of Syracuse. The absence of the former is easily to be explained. I am in the dark, however, as to the motive of the latter, and perhaps it is of no great im portance, after all. General Martini, the Austrian Minister, is also about to leave. On Saturday last he had an audience of his Majesty to take leave, and I understand that a cabinet messenger has just left for Vienna. I can not conceal from myself that great dissatisfac tion with our government begins to prevail amongst all classes of Italians, and I have often very unpleasant proofs of it. " You have raised another expectation by your conduct at the Paris Congress," they say. ' You have con firmed it by your journalism, and now, through the columns of a ministerial jo urnal, you good forth a damper to our expectations, and you form an alli ance with our great enemy, Austria." There would be some reason in these charges if England medi tated a dishonourable retreat from the position which she has taken up as regards Naples—that is to say, if on insufficient grounds she were to send back her minister and renew friendly relations with this court. What I should consder insufficient grounds would be some modification in the treatmei, of the political prisoners of Montesarchio, and pro mises of some amelioration in the administration ; first, because, as regards the latter, promises have not the slightest value ; and secondly, because the case of the political prisoners, though of deep interest to humanity, concerns them as individuals, and even their liberation would not amount to a national benefit. I make these observations because it is whispered about that fresh propositions, which are here expected to lead to an arrangement, have been recently made to our government, and there is a very general feeling that Lord Clarendon is dis posed to acoept even the shadow of concession as a ground for the renewal of amity. Assuming that there is any truth in this impression, every Eng lishman who has watched the conduct of our govern ment and the tone of our journalism for the last year, and who knows the position of this country, may well be ashamed to call him self an Englishman in Italy ; and of this be very sure, that we shall lose our moral and political influence in the Two Sicilies by such a line of con duct. The worst of it, however, would be that by so doing we should increase instead of depressing the revolutionary feeling of the country, and add to the influence of France. Depend upon it that the Nea politans will not be satisfied merely because a British minister returns to this court, and that the Muratist pasty will take advantsge of the dissatisfaction mike is sure to result from their being abandoned by tea English to agitate in the interest of the son el °Joachim°. The state of suspense in which the onoJon has been cruelly kept for the last year has prevented the consolidation of that party, but calamity and despair will inspire it with fresh vigour. If, therefore, intervention in the affairs of Naples be decided against, every consi deration would oppose the renewal of friendly re lations until the position of the country be widely different from what it is. The fashion of all who are connected with the court has been of late to cry up the English alliance, and to speak contemptuously of the Emperor and of the French. This must nut be assumed to be a positive indication in favour of the English, for it has been the policy of this govern ment to vilify either power as its interests seemed to prescribe at the moment. There is some reason, however, for believing that fear is entertained of the dynastic views of I. ranee ; and if the people are not satisfied, or if England sacrifices them, I feel very confident that the Mumtist party will raise its head here, and that French influence will greatly increase. In the Corriere Mercantile, which arrived lust Sunday, peared an article extracted from the .3forniny Foot on Neapolitan affairs. By more ardent Italians it has been ill received, and regarded as a kind of hacking out. All the copies, however, were seized, except those belonging to the diplo matic body. The Russian minister, M. Kakoselikin, left Naples last Monday. Naples is so completely isolated from other parts of the kingdom that it is almost unsafe to speak of what is going on in the provinces. The following notices have however been communicated to me from a good source :—The Brigadier Afan di Riviera has asked for a steamer from the minister to serve as a transport for political prisoners, there not being prisons or public force sufficient in the district of Catanzaro. With more reserve I report that the government had been informed of a demand for the punishment of death on nine persons in C Ammar°. Orders were returned that if, in conse quence of this demand of the Attorney-General, sentence should be passed on less than four it should becarried into effect; if on more, farther instructions were to be required. The province of Levee is reported to be in a dis turbed state. Brigandage SWIM on the increase, and was assuming a political character. A " Girlies Instruttore" had been sent down from the capital to prepare the processes. The diligence which ruts beyond Rome and Naples was stopped on the morning of the 17th at 3 a.m. There were nine passenger', of whom one was a Piedmontose miner engaged for the railways here, two Belgians, a gentleman and his wife, and some French people. As usual, they were ordered by the brigands, who were seven in number, to lie on their faces, whilst one or more persons stood guard over them with knives. Orders fur considerable quantities of grain have been received from Marseilles on speculation. It is expected that the ports will be thrown open very shortly. Five per Cents., I uq.

LEEDS Eucriox.—The Leeds Mercury, of this day, contains adman to the electors from Mr. J. R. Mil* the defeated candidate at the last election, and Mr. W. R. Forster, who dates his address from the Reform Club. The conservatives intend bringing forward a candidate, and our contemporary remarks that the liberals cannot possibly Me ssed for either of their candidates, if both should go to the poll. Messrs. Slade and Rodwell are counsel for the Beth petition ; Mr. Phinn and Mr. Clerk have been re tained by Mr. Tito. The Scottish County Registration Bill, we (Scots ems) are sorry to hear, is likely to be abandoned foe the session, owing to want of time and the unabated opposition of the Scotch tory members. It is understood (says the Scotsmen) that the Lord Advocate is making inquiries and requesting explana tions in the proper quarters, is coneequenre of disclosures in the report of the Scottish Lunacy Commission; and that the Home Secretary has drawn the attention of the Board of Supervision to those portions of the document bearing on the department under charge of that body. The Countess Poulett and Viscount Hinton are shortly expected in London, on their return from a tour on the coast of Spain.

The inauguration was accompanied by a reve -1 menial of a very gorgeous character, in which numerous dig skates and eceladastics of the Romish church took part, his Eminence Cardinal Wiseman and the newly-appointed Bishop of Clifton being the chief. EITEAORDINAILY REFUSAL TO BUST.—Some short time bark a lady, related to Lord Misty.., of Pengwertr, near St. Asaph, died. and his lordship gave orders for her interment in the family vault of Lianthos Church, of which place the Rev John Dairies is perpetual curate. For some reason or other Mr. Davies refused to permit the interment, upon which some persms elide/mowed to obtain forcible en trance, and one of them was fined for troopers. A second time the church door was forced open, and a second time Mr. Deirkie brought his action ter amps's. At the Conway County Court, where the case came on, Mr. Devise was sub jected to a cross-emeninatioa, to show that he had buried some et the Moetyn family in the church.
