He urged that tie fraught with great di ffi culty and respoi I hoped that in agreeing to the arrangeMent recom mended by the committee it would not g o forth that children might be sent to reformatories merely be cause they were not creditably b rou g ht u p . He moved as a condition to the adoptio n of the report an amendment expressing the opinion of the Court 1 that no juvenile offender be sent to a reformatory under the proposed arrangement, except on .an order signed by two magistrates. The amendmait _was, [ seconded by Alderman Mechi. Alderma n Salo mons, M.P., the other hand, opposed if' ,is a on practical condemnation of the magistrates o f the - city, and believing, as he did , that no.sin gte magistrate would wanionlY or rashly send a child for years to a reformatory. Reminding the Court that the road to a reformatory W•L I S) in fact, through a prison, he said it \yrs true parents might endeavour to incite ti!"eir children to commit petty offences for the purposo of getting ,many worthless them so disposed of ; bat he believed , as d rule, the f on d ness f or children was quite es general . great among the poor as among the higher classes. Al derman Halo bore testimony, on his experience' as a magistrate, to the growing feeling among poot: people of debased characters to get rid of the ex pense of maintaining their children; Alderman Rose contended that, two magistrates being neces sary to the affiliation of a child, the sanction of two ought also to be a condition of sending a child to a reformatory. He did not deny that those institute tions were founded on right principles in the main, but there was a dangerous tendency to fuse then! .as premiums for vicious and bad parents to get their children supported at the expense of the State. The amendment was also supported by Alderman Challis, and was then put and carried on a show of hands. On the motion of Alderman Salomons it was referred to the General Purposes Committee to consider and report whether the provisions of the sth and 6th of William IV., chap. 62, substituting declarations in lieu of oaths, might not be advan tageously extended to many cases in which oaths were now taken before this Court. The Meeting was then at an end. -ors for the present year. By order of the Board of Directors, ALEXANDER MACDONALD, Secretary.

But the picture has its lights as well as its shadows. This great strife has awakened in the people the highest emotions and qualities of the human soul. It is cultivating feelings of patriotism, virtue, and courage. Instances of self-sacrifice and of generous devotion to the noble cause for which we are contending are rife in the land. Never has a people evinced a more determined spirit than that now animating men, women, and children in every part of our country, Upon the first call the men fly to arms, and wives and mothers send their hus bands and sons to battle without a murmur of regret. It was perhaps in the ordination of Providence that we were to be taught the value of our liberties by the price which we pay fcr them. The recollections of this great contest, with all its common traditions of glory, of sacrifice, and of blood, will be the bond of harmony and enduring affection amongst the people, producing unity in policy, fraternity in sentiment, and joint effort in war.

The confidence felt by the Public in Banks Undertaken on the Joint-stock principle has continued to increase year by year. The London Joint-stock Banks in particular have been very successful. They have paid large dividends, ranging from 10 to 25 per cent. to their Shareholders ; whilst the high rate of premium, varying from 80 to 300 per cent., at which their Shares stand on the Stock Exchange, indicates that the mercantile community appreciate them as a safe means of in vestment.

These results:have been achieved whilst the existing law rendered the whole property of ever y s h are holde r liable for the debts and engagements of the Bank. The law, however, was most wisely altered in 1858, and banking companies are now permitted to be formed on the principle of limited liabiility. Already several Banks have been so constructed, and it is stated by the Directors, that whilst the law has placed a limit on the liability of the share holders the business of the Bank has been considerably ex tended and increased. Although during the last 25 years the Port of Liverpool has more than doubled itself in population and wealth, and the commercial intercourse between the Metropolis and Lan cashire has been prodigiously augmented, no new Bank has been established in Liverpool during that period. And it is further worthy of remark, that no Joint-stock Bank which embraces London and Liverpool within its own independent business operations exists at present, The Directors believing that there is ample room for further banking accommodation in London, and having regard to the increasing trade and opulence of Liverpool and its vicinity, are of opinion that the time has arrived when a new Bank may be established under limited liability with every pros pect of perfect success. It is proposed, therefore, to establish the Alliance Bank of London and Liverpool (Limited), with the head office in London and branches at Liverpool, and, in due course, at such other places as the interests of trade may require. The Alliance Bank of London and Liverpool (Limited) will— Open Current Accounts and allow Interest on }linimiu Monthly Balances of not less than £200; Receive Money on Deposit at Interest ; Grant Drafts on its Branches ; Issue Circular Notes and Letters of Credit for all parts Europe and elsewhere; Undertake Agencies of Foreign and Country Banks Effect Purchases and Sales in British and Foreign Stocks. Shares, and securities, receiving the Dividends thereon, and collecting or negotiating Coupons, &c. ; And transact every other description of Banking business. The Directors purpose calling up only £25 per share, thus leaving £75 per cent. as a guarantee fund to the depositors, reserving the power to issue amongst the proprietors for the time being such portion of the unaliotted shares at such periods and on such terms as they may see fit. A deposit of £1 per share must be paid to the Company's bankers at the same time that the application for shares is made, according to the subjoined form. Forms of Application for Shares may be obtained from the Brokers Messrs. J. andJ.Whitehead, Moorgate-street, Lon.- don ; and Messrs. G. and T.

AS THE FACULTIES OF THE BODY, in harmony with those of THE MIND, approach deve loped maturity, the rising human being, surrounded by factitious eircumstances—some salutary, some pernicious— becomes susceptible of impressions which, according to the degree of PRUDENCE and KNOWLEDGE with which he is en dowed, may be the sources of happiness or of unspeakable misery. Some of the most deadly and terrible of the influences last referred to originate at that period when parents fondly hope that the objects of their love are being prepared to fight honourably the great battle of life—namely, the scholastic and collegiate period. Habits arc then contracted, in unsuspecting ignorance of their effects, which, if not ar rested, tend to sink the VICTIMS or ERROR to the deepest depths of degradation and woe. The evil is aggravated by the apathy too generally evinced by the medical profession, not only as to the nature but the very existence of the diseases arising from the cause indicated, and to which the general and inadequate designation of "Nervous Disorders and Debility" has been given. One of the consequences of this neglect is, that the treatment of the most delicate classes of disease which afflict society has been taken up by unqualified and uneducated persons.

Through this instrumen tality. oin owilurfaour of Divine Providence, we hope to perpetuate the principles of our revolu tionary fathers. The day, the memory, and the purpose seem duly associated. It is with mingled feelings of humility and pride that I appear to take, in the presence of the people, and before high Heaven, the oath prescribed as a qualification for the exalted station to which the unanimous voice of the people has called me. Deeply sensible of all that is implied by this mani festation of the people's confidence, I am yet more profoundly impressed by the vast responsibility of the office, and humbly feel my own unworthiness. In return for their kindness I can only offer as surances of the gratitude with which it is received, and can but pledge a zealous devotion of every faculty to the service of those who have chosen me as their Chief Magistrate. When a long course of class legislation, directed not to the general welfare, but to the aggrandise ment of the Northern section of the Union, culmi nated in a warfare on the domestic institutions of the Southern States, when the dogmas of a sectional party, substituted for the provisions of the consti tutional compact,threatened to destroythe sovereign rights of the States, six of those States, withdraw ing from the Union, confederated together to exer cise the right and perform the duty of instituting a government which would better secure the liberties for the preservation of which the Union was established. Whatever of hope some may have entertained that a returning sense of justice would remove the dangers with which our rights were threatened, and rende r it possible to preserve the union of the Constitution, must have been dispelled by the ma lignity and barbarity of the Northern States in the prosecution of the existing war. The confi dence of the most hopeful among us must have been destroyed by the disregard they have recently ex hibited for all the time-honoured bulwarks of civil and religious libeity. Bastiles filled with prison ers, arrested without civil process or indictment duly found; the writ of habeas corpus suspended by executive mandate': a State Legislature controlled by the imprisonment of members whose avowed principles suggested to the Federal Executive that there might be another added to the list of seceded States; elections held under threats of a military power; civil officers, peaceful citizens, and gentle women incarcerated for opinion's sake—proclaimed the incapacity of our late associates to administer a government as free, liberal, and humane as that es tablished for our common use. For proof of the sincerity of our purpose to main tain our ancient institutions, we may point to the constitution of the Confederacy and the laws en acted under it, as well as to the fact that through all the necessities of an unequal struggle there has been no act on our part to impair personal liberty, or the freedom of speech, of thought, or of the Press. The courts have been open, the judicial functions fully executed, and every right of the peaceful citizen maintained as securely as if a war of invasion had not disturbed the land. The people of the States now confederated be came convinced that the Government of the United States had fallen into the hands of a sectional ma jority, who would pervert that most sacred of all trusts to the destruction of the rights which it was pledged to protect. They believed that to remain longer in the Union would subject them to a conti nuance of a disparaging discrimination, submission to which would be inconsistent with their welfare, and intolerable to a proud people. They therefore determined to sever its bonds and establish a new confederacy for themselves: The experiment instituted by our revolutionary fathers, of a voluntary union of sovereign States for purposes specified in a solemn compact, had been perverted by those who, feeling power and forget ting right, were determined to respect no law but their own will. The Government had ceased to answer the ends for which it was ordained and established. To save ourselves from a revolution which, in ita silent but rapid progress, was about to place us under the despotism of numbers, and to preserve in spirit, as well as in form, a system of government we believed to be peculiarly fitted to our condition and full of promise for mankind, wo determined to make a new association, composed of States homogeneous in interest, in policy, and in feeling. True to our traditions of peace and our love of justice, we sent commissioners to the United States to propose a fair and amicable settlement of all questions of public debt or property which might be in dispute. But the Government at Washington, denying our right to self-government, refused even to listen to any proposals for a peaceful separation. Nothing was then left to us but to prepare for war. The first year in our history has been the most eventful in the annals of this continent. A new Government has been established, and its machinery put in operation over an area exceeding 700,000 square miles. The great principles upon which we have been willing to hazard everything that is dear to man, have made conquests for us which could never have been achieved by the sword. Our Con federacy has grown from 6 to 13 states ; and Mary land, already united to us by hallowed memories and material interests, will, I believe, when able to speak with unstifled voice, connect her destiny with the South. Our people here rallied with un exampled unanimity to the support of the great principles of constitutional government, with firm resolve to perpetuate by arms the rights which they could not peaceably secure. A million of men, it is estimated, are now standing in hostile array, and waging war along a frontier of thousands of miles. Battles have been fought, sieges have been conducted, and although the contest is not ended, and the tide for the moment is a ga i nst us, the f i na l r esult in our favour is not doubtful. The period is near at hand when our foes must sink under the immense load of debt they have in curred—a debt which, in their effort to subjugate us, has already attained such fearful dimensions as will subject them to burthens which must continue to oppress them for generations t o come. We, too, have had our t r i als and difficulties. That we are to escape them in future is not to be to be expected hoped. It was when we entered upon this war that it would expose our people to sacrifices, and cost them much both of blood and money. But we know the value of the object for and unde rstood the na t ur e of which we snuggled, were en the war in which we gaged. Nothing could trade, the Southern States will offer to manufac turing nations the most favourable markets which ever invited their commerce. Cotton, sugar, rice, to bacco, provisions, timber, and naval stores will fur nish attractive exchanges. Nor would the con stancy of these supplies be likely to be disturbed by war. Our Confederate strength will be too great to tempt aggression ; and never was there a people whose interests and' principles committed them so fully to a peaceful policy as those of the Confede rate States. By the character of their productions they are too deeply interested in foreign commerce wantonly to disturb it. War of conquest they can not wage, because the constitution of their confede racy admits of no coerced association. Civil war there cannot be between States held together by their volition only. This rule of voluntary associa tion, which cannot fail to be conservative, by se curing just and impartial government at home, does not diminish the security of the obligations by which the Confederate States may be bound to foreign nations. In proof of this it is to be remem bered that at the first moment of asserting their right of secession, these States proposed a settle ment on the basis of a common liability for the ob ligations of the general government. Fellow Citizens, after the struggles of ages had consecrated the right of the Englishman to consti tutional representative Government, our colonial ancestors were forced to vindicate that birthright by an appeal to arms. Success crowned their efforts, and they provided for their posterity a peaceful remedy-against future aggression. • The tyranny of an unbridled majority, the most odious and least responsible form of despotism, has denied us both the right and the remedy. There fore we are in arms to renew such sacrifices as our fathers made to the holy cause of constitutional liberty. At the darkest hour of our struggle the provisional gives place to the permanent Govern ment. After a series of successes and victories, which covered our arms with glory, we have re cently met with serious disasters. But in the heart of a people resolved to be free these disasters tend but to stimulate to increased resistance. To show ourselves worthy of the inheritance be queathed to us by the patriots of the Revolution, we must emulate that heroic devotion which made re verse to them but the crucible in which their pa triotism was refined. With confidence in the wisdom and virtue of those who will share with me the responsibility and aid me in the conduct of public affairs, securely relying on the patriotism and courage of the people, of which the present war has furnished so many examples, I deeply feel the weight of the responsi bilities I now, with unaffected diffidence, am about to assume ; and, fully realising the inadequacy of human power to guide and to sustain, my hope is reverently fixed on Him whose favour is ever vouch safed to the cause which is just. With humble gratitude and adoration, acknowledging the Provi dence which has so visibly protected the Confe deracy during its brief but eventful career, to Thee, Oh God, I trustingly commit myself, and prayer fully invoke Thy blessing on my country and its cause. 3ThRDER IN ESSEX. A most extraordinary and sudden affair took place at Dunmow late on Saturday evening; and, as an instance of the cowardly effect of the concealed knife, and its dreadful consequences, has (says the Essex Herald) seldom been paralleled in this county. About 11. o'clock a few wrangling words in rather a high tone were heard coming from near the gas lamp, opposite the doctor's pond, and when two or three young men went to the spot, they found that a man was standing there who had just been wounded in some way with a sharp instrument, and at that moment two men were escaping across the Downs as fast as they could; unfortunately the persons alarmed were so occupied with their atten tion to the sufferer that the offenders made their escape. The person thus desperately assaulted walked only a few yards across the road before he fell, and being taken into the Star yard, died almost directly. It was soon found that the deceased is named James Barnard, from Cophill, near Shefford, in Bedfordshire—a young married man, about 27 years of age, who travelled the country as a hawker of umbrellas, braces, clothes' lines, &c. From what can be learnt at present, it appears that he had been out on his calling, and was going home to his lodg ings at the Bell, at Church-end, where his wife was ; no one seems to know whether he had had any quarrel worth naming with any one; and he is said, by parties who knew him, to have been a quiet in offensive person, and therefore the fear is that the dreadful deed was done in a moment of malice and spite, but by whom is at present involved in mystery, which the police are sedulously endea vouring to unravel. A 'correspondent writing (Monday morning, ten o'clock) says :—When I wrote to you last night the police were scouring the neighbourhood, and had been hither and thither but without success ; how ever, early in the evening Superintendent Roger son obtained a clue, and forthwith , finding a Dun mow man, named John Button—who was said to be one of the two seen to hasten across the Downs just before Barnard fell—he (Button) voluntarily confessed that he was present when the assault took place, although he did not touch the deceased, and that a man named Henry Eagle, of Little Easton, was the person who had blows with the deceased, and must have been the perpetrator of the dreadful deed. Button further willingly and earnestly detailed the conversation he had with Eagle as they were going home. The superinten dent immediately took two constables with him. (knowing that the accused, from previous circum stances, was a most desperate fellow), and succeeded in finding him at the dwelling of a relative. While the superintendent and police-constable Day went in at the front door, the accused attempted to escape from the back; but police-constable Johnson was ready for him, and after some resistance he was secured, and immediately brought to the Dunmow police station. This dreadful case has caused much more consternation at Dunmow than any occurrence of the kind for many years, and although it was Sunday evening a great concourse thronged the sides of the cart when Eagle was brought int o t all town. The prisoner has been quiet iu the ce 1 but he is watched most narrowly, and a night, Police-constable sat up with him for th at purpo se. I have only to remind you of the reiterated votes of the chamber, which we shall not in any way de part from. It is evident that the Roman question cannot be solved except by two means acting simul taneously—the moral and t he di p lomatic. As to the former, it is necessa r y to establish in the Catholic world the opinion that the temporalpower is not requisite to ,religion ; that when the Church shall be relieved from worldly cares and interests, religion can only gain by it ; and it is very pleasing to me to point out a great pro gress in the opinion of believers on that point. When t he q uestion of the fall of the temporal power was first raised two years ago, many persons felt ala rmed, and thought that religion might be ruined; at present those persons have become tranquillised. They comprehend that there is no necessity for the Church to be united to a temporal power, and I am glad to say that this change has principally taken place in France. It sufficed to have observed the public mind in that clever and generous nation; to see that while there was at first a kind of estrangement from the Italian cause, because a fear was enter tained that the temporal power, and consequently religious interests, might be compromised, but now opinion has changed, and the number of Catholics who entertain no alarnrof the kind has consider ably increased. I have only topoint out to you the discussions in the first body of the empire— the Senate. If you compare the debate on the affairs of Rome which took place last year with that of the present one, you will see that opinions have changed, and that those who were before the most strongly opposed to any change connected with the pontifical states, now entertain more moderate opi nions, lam pleased to say that for this change we are in part indebted to the words of the prince who uses his eloquence and his high position to favour Italian interest on every occasion. (Loud applause.) Moral truths, gentlemen, frequently meet with great contradictions before they are admitted ; in terest which are opposed to the truth frequently obscure it by a factitious cloud, but in the end the sun shines through that cloud, and moral victory belongs to the truth. By the side of moral means diplomatic ones must be employed. On that point also you have traced out the road, and we are re solved to follow it. You have said that it is neces sary to go to Rome in accord with France. Such is our motto. We will solve the question in accord with France, for she has a great interest in doing it in the sense of Italian unity. If we do not go in accord with her, and should wish to act alone, or, what is still worse, in spite of her, we shall injure ourselves and depart from the object in view. You may therefore be assured that we shall follow the programme traced out by you. But the question of alliances, of independence, of Rome and of Venice, depend above all on internal organisation. I repeat, that when we shall present to Europe the spectacle of a nation who, after having accomplished a great revolution in so few years, has known how to constitute itself, and unify its laws, I think that our voice will be better heard in the Cabinets of Europe. (Hear, hear.) The remainder of the speech was devoted to the subject of the internal organisation of the kingdom. COUR2 OF ALDERMEN. Yesterday at 1 o'clock the aldermen of the City of London held a meeting at the Guildhall, the Lord Mayor presiding. Sheriffs Cockerel] and Twenty man reported that the number of prisoners now in the gaol of Newgatc is 97 ; in the debtors' prison, Whitecross-street, 92 ; and in the prison at Hollo way, 395 ; in all 584, of whom 17 ire in tho Mr.; maries. The return in each case was accompanied by the certificate of the surgeon as to the fit condi tion of the prison. At the request of the Lord Mayor, Mr. Woodthorpe, the town clerk, read a letter which had been addressed to his lordship on Tuesday last by Sir Henry Muggeridge, resigning the office and dignity of an alderman. Sir Henry therein stated that failing health prevented him a d equa t e ly performing the duties incident to the office, and he sincerely thanked the members of the Court, in taking leave of them, for the uniform kindness and courtesy he had received at their hands during the several years he had been asso ciated with them. On the motion of Alderman Copeland, the Court, taking the matter into consi deration, passed a resolution accepting Sir Henry's surrender of the office, . and desiring the Lord Mayor to hold a wardmote for the Ward of Castle Baynard for the election of a " a fit and able person" as an Alderman in his stead. The Lord Mayor said he desired to state that a numerous deputation of the inhabitants of the Ward had that morning waited on him and represented that ever since the resigna tion the ward had been kept in a state of agitation by the canvassing for the vacant gown, that busi ness was to a great extent paralysed in consequence, and they earnestly requested that the earliest pos sible day might be fixed for the nomination and election. Feeling the importance of the application he had told the deputation that as soon as he ob tained the sanction of the Court to his issuing a precept for holding an election, he should do so, fix ing Thursday next, at 4 o'clock, for the nomination. Mr. Woodthorpe read a letter which Sir George Grey, the Home Secretary, had addressed to the Lord Mayor, stating that there appeared reason to believe, after inquiry into the subject, that the debtors' prison in Whitecross•street would, under the altered state of the law of bankruptcy, afford ample accommodation for the confinement of all debtors in London and Middlesex ; it was therefore proposed by Government to bring a bill into Parlia ment for the abolition of the Queen's Prison • but that before any proceedings were taken for that pur pose he would invite the Corporation of London to state what claims, if any, upon the Government it is conceived the Corporation would be entitled to make in case of the abolition of the Queen's Prison. Sir George, therefore, requested to be favoured with an early communication on the subject. On the motion of Alderman Challis, who spoke in terms of approval of the proposed arrangement, the letter was referred to the Gaol Committee. Alderman Copeland, M.P., the senior member of the Court, was unanimously elected a trustee of Sir J. Soane's Museum, Library, and Works of Art in Lincoln's inn -fields, in the room of the late Sir Peter Laurie, at the instance of Alderman Humphery, seconded by Alderman Finnis. A report was presented by the General Purposes Comm i tt ee, to whom i t had been referred to consider the powers of the justices of the city of London, w ith respect to committing boys to reformatories and in dustrial schools, and as to th e best wa y of exercis ing such powers. They stated, on the authority of Mr. Martin, clerk to the magistrates at Guildhall, that the aldermen as justices had no power to com mit juvenile offenders to any reformatory schools, or to commit destit ute and neglected chil dren to in ; dustrial schools, unless the managers of those insti tutions were willing to receive them.. They hoe ascertained committee iv o e f b t o h y e s ascertained that the Redhill Reformatory were willing committed from the justice-rooms of the Mansion house and Guildhall upon an arrangement similar in its conditions to that now pending in respect of boys convicted and sentenced by the Central Crimi nal Court for offenc es commi tted in the city. Th e committee recommended the Cuurt to agree to that arrangement. A motion by Alderman Copeland for the adoption of their report led to a discussion as to the propriety, or otherwise, of investing a single magistrate with the power of committing children to reformatories and industrial schools. Alderman Lawrence deprecated a power being given to one magistrate to send children to such institutions, to be =merged there, it might be, for years. A 8 (From the Registrar-Genere Weekly Return.) The London returns for last week show a high rate of mortality. In the last week of February the deaths were 1,322 ; in the week that ended last Sa turday they rose to 1,505. Last week, to which the present returns relate, was preceded by a week of low temperature. The air continued very cold till Thursday, the 6th, when it became remarkably warm. The tables show a sudden increase in the deat h from typhus. They were 61 in the previous week ; they rose last week to 123, or double the number.

Bron chitis increased only from 151 to 166, the corrected a verage being 175 ; but phthisis wa s fatal, for the number of cases referred to it rose from 148 to 184, the corrected average being 172. In the sub-district of All Souls, IVlarylebre, at 1, Suffolk-mews, three children of a warehouseman died of scarlatina. The registrar states that " in the same family another child had died previously of diarrhoea; and a fifth, the sole surviving child, is dangerously ill in Middlesex Hospital." A girl died in that hospital of ;nandscarlatia, who had been b rou ght from 13, Gresse-street died of diptheria at 3, Little Portland-street.

The London waters, as analyzed by Dr. Robert Dundas Thompson, F.R.S., are all more impure than last month, with the exception of the South wark, West Middlesex, Lambeth, and East Lon don. The New River water contained an unusual amount of organic matter. The organic constituent of the Kent Company was almost entirely in a state of oxidation, and therefore comparatively in a harmless condition. It may be expected that some of these waters will become purer in winter when more storage space is supplied, and the waters are pumped in a less impure state. For comparison, the water of a well is given supplying a new house where typhoid fever occurred ; the composition of the same water as taken from the house tank was published in the report of last month.
