BANK OF LIVERPOOL.— -Mr. Rtephen Watson, one of the committee appointed to investigate the cause. of the disastrous failure of the Royal Bank of Liverpool, which occurred in October, 0407, has requested a metin; of the shareholders at Liverpool on the 21st hug., to decide whether they would wish the report of the committee to involve a full disclosure of all the facts that led to the lulu of the cetabliehment, from the date of their commencement in 11400, or to be limited to the merely proximate transactions which caused its break-up, and which commuictel about 1863. He has made a searching inveetigution from the earlier period, and is of opinion that the shareholderm should have full information, but his colleagues consider not only that a discloeure of the names of certain debtors of the lank may damage the posi tion of such debtors, and so prejudice the chances of the bank in recovering some part of the outstanding assets, but that the shareholder, should be content without going buck to the history by which the enormous deficiency sus tained can alone be accounted for. The suggettion as to the exercise of reserve with regard to the names of dation from whom something might yot be hoped for could, it appetue, la adopt e d w ith ou t any necewary sop- Premien of the general history. and Mr. Watson puts it to his constituents to detenniue whetherthey will have a full report without reserve of tames, a report reserving names but embodying a general narrative from PM, or only a report from 1666. Of • °urea it is for the nhareholdent to consult their own interest in thn matter. As far as the commercial community are concerned it would seem highly desirable that the results of Mr. Watson's labour should have complete puWicity.—Timfe.

LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPT. 19. WAR NOTES. EVIIR4ON3 is talking of war. The air is charged with rumours, the newspapers teem with predic tions, the Sovereigns and the peoples have an un easy consciousness that a gigantic outbreak maybe at hand. Nobody can state with precision the exact grounds of his belief, yet everyone speaks of war as imminent ; and some go so far as to say that it would be better than a long continuance of a costly armed peace. To speak of the greatest, the most profound, and the most desolate of earthly calamities as more to be desired than an armed peace, is to say that it is better to be dashed to pieces at the bottom of a precipice than to stand in dangerous proximity to its brink, that taunter is preferable to quar relling, and bi (dal violence to empty threats. It is talking and writing of this kind which smoothes the way to war, and the habit of treating it UN inevitable is the most certain way of bringing it al pout . The horrors of war are a trite story, yet the present tone of the foreign, and of some our L ome, journals load to the belief that those Lori ors are in danger of being overlooked, and that vacuity and ignorance may work more terrible evil, in Europe than either kingly jealousy or inkiwrial :oubitiou. The unwil ling readiness to tight avowed by Prussia ; the dread of letting fall woills which nal) , be misin terpreted as bellicose, acknowledged by France ; Austlia's hotrod and jealousy of Russia and Prus sia ; and Russia's watchfulness towards Turkey, are so many elements, which uneasy speeds tions and preparations are quietly fanning into a flame. There is something morbidly fascinating to the human mind in dwelling upon tho dreaded and the horrible until it appears natural and easy ; but the writers and thinkers who indulge in it bare a heavy responsibility at their doors. " There is full " many a man that crioth ' Wale, werre,' " wrote CHAUCFII at a time when the triumphs of the BLaex Ilumit were at least as glorious as any likely to accrue now, " that wot ful litel to what " werre amounteth," and the truth is as manifest in our time as his. It is quite true that the pre sent aspect of affairs is alarming; that there is too much truth in many of the allegations made ; and that the Powers of Europe seem to be sitting upon powder barrels with a lighted meta in either hand. It may be even true that war must come, and that with the most peaceful intentions and the most discreet foreign minister in the world, England may again drift into it. But let us at least—each in his sphere—do our utmost to avert the scourge. DAVID chose pestilence rather than war, preferring, as Lirruaa said finely, to fall into the hands of Gkin than those of pitiless man ; and lees misery would follow upon a decimating plague than upon that war which so many talk of glibly as inevitable, Tho " improvements" in the art of slaying ; the terrible ingenuity which makes missile and weapon more and more formidable as the years go by ; the loss and misery which have followed in the wake of the brief struggle between Austria and Prussia ; the absolute oor tainty that if the torch be once kindled it will not be speedily quenched, should make us more than ever humbly prayerful against war in our time. Better a thousandfold is peace even when armed to tho teeth, than devastating, murderous, devouring war; and to those who remember the premonitory symptoms of every great outbreak, there is some thing inexpressibly shocking and sad in the threatening rumours and gossip with which Europe is surcharged, and which are multiplied and circulated through thoughtlesumes, TUE PROPOSED COLLEGE FOR WOMEN. MANY of our readers are aware that it is pro posed to build a college for women " in which the " instruction and discipline will be expressly " adapted to advanced students, and the results " tested by examinations of recognised authority." These examinations will entitle to certificates, and will in fact be of as much service as a university degree is to men. And the students will not only acquire the know ledge afforded by a college but will gain the advantages of a college life, since for six months in the twelve residence will be obligatory. Young women, therefore, who are not satisfied with the routine of a school educa tion, may carry on their studies and gain mental discipline at an age when the value of learning and of intellectual drill is the most keenly appreciated. The advantages of such an institution are obvious. The education of English girls belonging to the middle class of society is but too often im perfect and superficial. Much is attempted, but little thoroughly achieved; and if the love of knowledge has been gained at school, there is no incitement to study. and nothing to arouse ambition, after the school course is run. Oue is accustomed to hear ad nauseam that the woman's sphere is home, by which it is meant that she should confine herself to home duties. One is accustomed to be told, also, that her aim in life is marriage, and that for her the highest cultivation is that of the heart, and not of the intellect. These are as sertions which need not be disputed. True, it is that the goal of a woman's aspirations may be to reign as queen of the domestic hearth ; true it is that to her " love than knowledge is diviner food"—but it surely does not follow that in order to have a large heart a woman must have a I I narrow and uncultivated mind, or that to rule her household well she should be ignorant of everything beyond it. 031 the contrary, we believe that there an, few if any studies from which a woman should be debarred upon the ground of sex, few if any that will not be found of service in after life, and tend to make her wiser, happier, and more com panionable. In this belief we look with no volu tion intenat upon the efforts that are making to raise a College for women, which, as we have said. shall be to thee' of the moue service as Oxford and Cambridge are to men. and which, by means of periodical extuuinations and certificates, will enable the student to measure the progress of attainment. And there is another benefit to he conferred by the proposed College. " If, as is '• probable," says the prospectus, " a certain " proportion of the students, sooner or later, " become teachers, either in the college itself, or " in the higher class of schools, a double want " will be supplied. The schools will be brought into " close and friendly relations with a superior " institution to which they may look up for " guidance aid encouragement, while a body of " cultivated women—whose fitness for the highest " educational offices has been duly certified—will " be gradually prepared for the work of teaching. " The difficulty of discriminating between the fit •' and the unfit in appointing to such offices is " well known, and it seems reasonable to expect " that the application of suitable tests by oompe " tent authority, will be as much valued by those " who are interested in obtaining good teaching " for their children, as it will certainly be wet " cowed by teachers themselves." The ultimate success of the plan sketched out in the prospectus can scarcely be considered doubt ful, since many of the meat prominent men of the age, as well as ladies of high attainments and po sition, are enrolled on the committee. Meanwhile there seems u reasonable hope that the buildings will be speedily connuenced. A suitable site has been selected in Hertfordshire, and while it is esti mated that ,50,0001. will be required to carry out the project on an adequate made, it is determned to commence building as soon as the sum of 10,0001. shall have been raised. In order to facilitate the work, it has been resolved to commence on a com paratively narrow basis. and to provide accommo dation at first fur one-third only of the probable number of students. The sum required will be raised by public subscription, and by the sid e of a limited number of presentations. which will con fer a right of nomination on t h e purchasers. To those statements it should be added that when the College buildings are provides! " the students' fete " will be fixed on such a scale us to secure " that the institution shall be self-supportiug." At the present time 1111 the proposed undertaking semis to require is publicity. If once the merits. of the plan are under/4044 it tun warmly f a il t o be encouraged. We think the committee have done wisely, however, in not depending too much upon public genemaity and in offering rights of prnantation in return for contributions. The . difficulty of the undertaking °Avant to lie at its commencement. When ones the buildings are erected and the College fairly inaugurated, the progress of the institution will be assured. OUR CONTEMPORARINki. (THIS DAY.) The prospect of war, the (Ecumenical Council, end the Lodger Franchise question. are among the sub jects discussed by the nom. One man. it is said, can terminate all the direful calculations of a Continental war in a minute. If the Enperor Napoleon decides for peace there will be no war. It would not be worth a war even to undo the effects of Endows, but it Is by no means certain that they could be undone. France would lose by failure far more than she could gain by success. As to the council, which is to meet at Rome, end in which the lay element is utterly ignored, it is not at all unlikely that If princes are de barred frisk all influence upon the deliberations of the council, they may consider themselves absolved from the duty of recognising or enforcing the council's resolutions. With regard to the registration courts, the Time. points out the contradictory rules of practice which the deci sions of the revising berristeratehow, and suggests that tie of Comourn:Pleas:shoukt select some of thigi number to:devise rules under its own superintendence. The Daily Pews points out 'props of recent speeches lie assistance which Mr. Gladstone is likely to meet ing tram men like Mr. Childen and Mr. Mansfield. The effect ir - & - Military policy of, the French government UT. creasing the population is also dwelt upon. The Post suggests that if some publisher would issue at once, at a low price, Mr. Disraeli's bitter attacks c.n Sir Robert Peel, every constituency in the United Kingdom might now bo provided with the means of con fronting Disraelite candidates with their own chiefs in vective against apostasy, treachery, theft, petty larceny, and burglary. THE WEEKLY PRESS. The wieest policy, the Spettotor contends, for England to puma° is to abstain from taking any active lead in the dissuasion of the war question. If wo are compelled to live near a powder magazine, what is the iisc of talking of nothing but the powder and the results of its ignition Bceides, in this caso, though war is a turriblo probability, it is by no means a necessity. While the Emperor hesi tates, Europe lives ; and as all life is change, time may gradually either assuage the French discontent which is at the bottom of the d Linter, or divert it to some definite channel in which it will threaten less to Europe. If the French paper* would talk lose constantly of war, the danger would bo rather leas than greater. If the English raper; talk more of it, the French paponi will certainly not talk lees. On the whole, not apathy, hut self-re straint, may be t h e true interpretation of our compa rative reticence. the Ernominrr expects sr e the system of private cue. cutions now on its trial fail, and asks if, within fifty plods of the spot where the full-fed and muscular instru ments of authority are binding, and shoving, and chok ing, the miserable victim of his crimes, the world goes its week-day way, buying and selling. laughing an•t grumbling, losing temper about trifles, and gulping a soine'at, or taking a long pull at a pipe to quiet its twopenny-halfpenny vexation,—where is the shadow of death, in which, according to the fiction and philneophy of vindictive law, society has been made at intervals to walk, if its life is to be kept safe Sketching the state of parties, the Someday /Primo remarks that Mr. Disraeli has for two years been losing rather than gaining, and one of his colleagues now admits that his only chance of reversing the majority must de pend ou a desperate struggle fur every doubtful amt. The anomalous state of affairs has not only paralysed both the government and the House of Commons, but it has mainly determined the policy of the cabinet. Even if the Reform Bill produces beneficial results, it will not the less have owed its origin to the neces sities of a party which was utterly averse to its prin ciple, and unable from parliamentary weakness to mould its details. The influence which the conservative party can still exercise would, for its own purposes and for the public good, have been far more advantageously employed in opposition ; yet Mr. Disraeli's tenacity of office will be condoned in the improbable contingency of his com manding a majority in the future parliament. If the constituencies; are really attached to the Irish establish ment, [its opponents, although they will certainly not modify their opinion of its demerits, cannot fail to admit that Mr. t:ladatone's movement was unseasonable. be court.

THE I'llOOllEl4B OF FRANCS UNDER THE FMPIRE. The Berra publishes some curious statistics rela tive to the French empire. It appears that the salary paid by Prance to Napoleon 111. in 15 years is more by 7,800,0007. than was paid to King Louis Philippe during tho same number of years. The amount of dotations, which in 1852 was 400,000/. amounted in 1866 to 920,000/. The interest of the public debt in 1844 was about 14,500,000/. ; in 1866 it was over 26,000,000/. The total of the civil het dotations and interest of public debt during the first fifteen years of the government of July was, in round numbers, 210,000,000/. ; during the first fifteen years of imperial re:gim, 364,000,000/. ; showing an increase of expenditure in favour of the Empire of 144,000,0007.

FIIIDLY EVENINto The excitement which grew out of the con struction put upon certain expressions iu the speech of the King of Prussia at Kiel is dying out in Paris ; and the alarmists an• beginning to think that no mischief was really meant or concealed in the words of the Prussian Sovereign. If his Majesty adverted with a very natural pride to his naval and military strength. he did no more than the Emperor of the French has: done many times; and if he pointed to his - power as a guarantee of peace he has only followed in the wake of Napoleon 111. But then King William expressly declared that he saw no thing in the whole of Europe at all threatening the existence of peace, and his Majesty confirms the sincerity of his belief by giving a signal for European disarmament, and setting an example of peculiar forty, coming from the conqueror of Sadow•a. Will France give any such pledge of a really peaceful tendency ? If she does not, what are the conclusions to be drawn' Will Franca become the threatener and so maintain the uneasiness and apprehension which prevail That seems to be the vital matter for consideration at the present moment. I do nut think that much importance is to b. , attache:l to the possible events of Prussia absorbing the Grand Duchy of Baden, or of Fr:lllev declaring that she would regstol as a rosas kW the crossing of Prussia over the left batik of the Muth t. If Prussia contemplated immediate testi in the Grand Duchy, it is impossible that in the face of the disband' of France her Sovereign could affirm that be saw nothing titivate !! i tt g the sta bility of peace, trod believe that this supposed early absorption of the timid Duchy. and the war to which it would inevitably lead, is for the prisent. at all events, a gratuitous assumption. It may hurt the purposes of France. jeahms of the growing ik)wvt• of Ih ussia. to anticipate further siggraniliiienients as at justification for the mtbiutenamv of the im mense military and naval power to which, in a very fo.w Franco has at.t titled. llitt then this state of things brings its inoonveniences as well am sacrifices. a practical exemplitleation of which we saw on the Bourse the day before yes terday.

The libe ral candidate has no chance whatever, since, inde pendently of his opponent being backed with all the influence of the government, he is a very large landed proprietor in the neighbourhood, and there fore exe►cises considerable local influence, 11 A t ho is opposed at all, is perhaps to be wondered nt , but it seems to be a settled purpose on the part o f the opposition leaders to test at every election th vitality and strength of independence.
