The fifty years that have Passed since the Bank of New South Wales first °pened its doors have proved' fifty years of great su ccess, but not unmixed with care and anxiety. This bank has set an example that many of our home institutions would do well to copy. There is no alteration of importance in the general discount market to-day, the rates being easy and the demands moderate.

The new edition is virtually a new book, for Mr. Nash has greatly enlarged the origi nal work, and brought down to the present time the intelligence under every department of which the book treats. The work is historical, statistical, and exPlanatory, having for its subjects British and foreio l , 6 finance. The Stock Exchange, all the Funds dealt in there, the modes of transacting business iu eying, selling, settling days, &c., &c., are de scri d, or stated, or e x pl a i n ed, as the nature of the subject required. The exposition and utatistical account of the Bank of England is as interesting and i mportant as that of the Exchange. The Bank of England i s a very l arge su bj ec t, an d probably t he best treatise concerning it, its various offices and °fficers, the modes of transacting business, and the natu re of the business transacted ever given to the public Was in a work also recently issued by Effing- F m. Wilson, entitled " Hankey on Banking." erne), Compendium is also very full on the sub ject, and presents the matter of which it treats with excellent order. Perhaps there are few subjects of W hich the public know less than Foreign Govern ment debts, stock, taxation, and primary resources; Yet consideri ng th e l argo sums possesse d b y t h e En glish people in foreign securities, it is very im portant that investors should possess accurate and com prehensiv e i n f orma ti on.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco, before Justices Blackburn, Mellor, and Lush.) READHEAD V. THE MIDLAND RAILWAY COMPANY. The plaintiff in this case sustained injuries while travelling by the defeudauta' railway, in conse quence of the breaking of some carriage-tyre, and brought an action for compensation in damages against the company on the ground that they had been guilty of negligence, and were, consequently, legally liable for the consequences of the same. It was argued that there was a difference between carriers of passengers (whether by sea or land) and car riers of goods, the latter being insurers, while the others were in no way liable for any accident that might occur to passengers, unless it could be clearly proved that it resulted from want of due vigilance on their part., and that the defect in the tyre was a latent one, of which they could not be held cognisant. The jury found a valet for the defendants ; but a rule nisi was granted by the Court of Queen's Bench, calling on the defendants to show cause why there should not be a new trial, on the ground that Mr. Justice Lush, before whom the case was tried, misdirected the jury as to the legal responsibility of the defendants. Cause was shown against the rule, but at the close of the ar guments Mr. Justice Blackburn differed from the other learned judges, who were in favour of the finding of the jury, and the case accordingly stood over to enable the learned judges to consider all the authorities, whether English or continental, bearing on the law relating to the question. Mr. Justice Lush and Mr. Justice Mellor deli vered judgment this morning, deciding against the rule. POLICE INTELLIGESCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A CADMAN'S LICENSE SUSPENDED FOR MISCONDUCT.— John Kelly, a cab-driver, badge 13,891, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt as follows : Dr. Girdwood, residing at 19, Howley-place, Padding ton, said that on the previous afternoon h 3 engaged the prisoner to drive him from his house to the Waterloo Sta tion, and when the prisoner got to George-street, near St. Giles's Church, he got his horse into a gallop. He told the prisoner to drive quietly; bat instead of doing so he lashed his horse. He again complained to the prisoner, and prisoner then ordered him in a rough manner to get out of his cab, and he did so, and got into another, and the prisoner then drove his cab against the one ho was in, and injured the wheel of it. The prisoner asked him to pay him, and he then told the man whose cab he was in to drive to the police station, and he did so, and when there the prisoner came in, and was detained by the inspector. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, Dr. Girdwood said the pri soner was not drunk, but was excited through liquor. Police-constable Hellicar, 171 C, was on duty at the Marlborough-mews station when Dr. Girdwood arrived, and directly after the prisoner came in and demanded pay ment of Dr Girdwood. Seeing that the prisoner was drunk he was charged with being so, and detained. A third cab was brought to the station, it having been dam aged by the prisoner driving against it. The prisoner said his horse was a young one, and did not want any flogging. Mr. Tyrwhitt—But got it all the same. The prisoner said he wont to the station to see if he wss not to be paid. Mr. Tyrwhitt —lf you think a man is bound to pay a drunken fellow who endangers his life you are mistaken. You will have your license suspended for 21 days. That is the only way to punish such men as you. CIIAROS OF EMBEZZLEMENT. — James Francis Arragon, clerk to Mr. Richard Fallon, bill discounter and auctioneer, of No. 52, Marsham-street, Westminster, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with embezzling several sums of money received on account by his employer.

THAMES. SMUGGLING FOREIGN ClGARS.—Johannes Andersen, Ed ward Rolenberg, and Andre Rosensen, Swedish seamen, were brought before ➢ir. Paget charged with smuggling 91bs. of foreign cigars. Last night, at S o'clock, Inspectors 'Major and Clarke, of the Thames Police, were in Cable-street, Whitechapel, and saw the prisoners, who appeared rather bulky. They fol lowed them into an earthenware shop in the same street, where Rosensen went into a back room while his compa nions remained in the shop. 31ajor went into the back room and found Rosensen taking cigars from between his clothes and his shirt and putting them on a table. lie was completely surrounded with cigars, and 51bs. were taken. Inspector Clarke took Andersen and Rosenberg into cus tody in the shop, and found upon each of them 21bs. of cigars secreted about their persons. Thera wore also a few more sewed up in the lining of their jackets. The value of the cigars taken from Rosensen was Ns., or 10s. per pound. The cigars taken from each of the other pri soners were valued at 20s. only. Mr. Paget—What aro the 'prisoners ? An Interpreter—Ordinary seamen on board a Swedish ship. Mr. Paget convicted the prisoners, under the Customs Act, in the single value and duty. He ordered Rosenseu to pay a fine of 505., and the others 20s. each. MARKETS.—This day. MARK-LANE. Our market, to-day, was very scantily supplied with English wheat. The sale for all kinds, however, was very inactive, at about Monday's currency. There was a full average supply of foreign wheat on the stand. As the attendance of buyers was limited, sales progressed slowly, at late rates. The imports are large. Floating cargoes of grain were a slow inquiry. Both English and foreign barley was a dull inquiry, at about stationary prices. Malt realised former terms, with a moderate inquiry. The supply was good. The show of foreign oats was large, and all kinds met a dull inquiry, at barely stationary prices. Beans and peas commanded extreme rates, owing to their scarcity. No change took plate in the value of flour. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour. English and Scotch 340 180 1,440 510 Irish Foreign 20,580 130 39,010 1030 sacks Maize, qrs.

The children who will take part in the concert will be selected from all the principal Sunday-school s i n t h e metropol i s, who with their teachers will number about 6,000 singers. As so large a number of Sunday schools, with the congregations to which they belong, will bo interested in this delightful movement, it is anticipated that the attendance at the Crystal Palace will be one of the largest of the season.

The SPEAKER took the chair at a quarter past 12 o'clock. SUNDAY TRADING BILL. Mr. T. HUGHES presented a great number of petitions in favour of the Sunday Trading Bill. The hon. member said the bill was looked upon with great favour by the poorer class of traders. Mr. M'LAREN presented a petition against the bill. Mr. T. HUGHES, in moving the second reading of the bill, said he was quite aware of the amount of misunder standing and prejudice which existed with respect to the bill ;. but ho hoped to show that the feeling ought not to exist. The old law as it stood Iva:, contained in a nutshell, and the first statute was that of Henry VI. That Act did not create the obser vance of the Sunday, but took it as it found it, as a day of rest, and it enacted that no more fairs should be held on Sunday except the fair to be holden iu harvest time. Four hundred years ago it was found necessary to protect Sunday as a day of rest, and it was not, as had been sail, an attempt to make Eaglishrnon religious by Act of Par liament. That statute lasted for 900 years, and then came the first statute of Charles I. That Act enforced religious worship of a certain kind. It enacted that no parishioner should attend illegal bull and bear baiting out of his parish on Sundays, and any assemblage within the parish on Sunday should altogether be illegal, but that a due regard should be paid to the religious observance of the day. The act under which they now lived was that of the 27th of Charles 11., which prohibited all trading of any description, excepting the sale of cooked meats at inns on the Sabbath, and the_sale of milk, which was to be allowed between the hours of nine in the morning and four in the afternoon. An act of William the 111. made the sale 'of mackerel on Sundays legal, and by the 12th of Vic. the issue of search warrants was made legal, and with the enactments of the Act of the 14th of the present reign, which were mainly connected with the proceedings in the courts of law. Thus it was to be seen that Sunday was to be observed as a complete day of rest, or, as was termed in law, a dies non. Those were the whole of the Acts in force at the present time. Two re ports were presented to the house twenty years ago, in which it was recommended that a bill should be introduced enacting that no goods should bo allowed to be exposed for sale at any shop on Sunday, that none' except of a perishable •-nature should be allowed to be sold, that no shop should be allowed to remain open after a Cer tain hour, and that penalties incurred under the bill should be cumulative. That was what was recommended twenty years ago, and he felt that the majority, of traders in the metropolis at this time were quite of that opinion at the present day. If .he ventured an illustration to show the extent to which Sunday trading was carried on ho would not travel out of his own borough, Lambeth, and there, within a very small space, containing 1,684 shops, 1,034 were open on Sundays, and only 650 closed. He had received many letters on the subject, and one to which ho would allude was that from the Rev. Mr. White, and alluded to the place called the New-cut, where trading was carded on to such an extent that it really exceeded that of ordinary working days. The shops of tobacconists, drapers, booksellers, clothiers, and other traders in that locality, were kept open, in addition to which, birds, umbrellas, and dogs were hawked about for sale, and created a scene of confusion that rendered it almost im passable for well-disposed persons going to the Church in that neighbourhood. Some time ago an attempt was made by the parish officers to put the act of Charles 11. into ac tive force, and no less than 800 summonses were takeh out against tradesmen for keeping their shops open on Sun days. Out of the number 700 said they were quite ready to close their shops, provided others were compelled to do the same thing, and proceedings were taken against those who refused to close their shops, but they altogether failed. It had been urged that if the tradesmen were in earnest in the matter they would arrange the matter for themselves, but that had been tried, and also had resulted in failure, and altogether repudiated the notion that it was an attempt to make people religious by act of Parliament. If that was the object of the bill ho would most certainly have had nothing to do with it. He had his own opinion with respect to the way a day of rest ought to be observed; and if any person felt disposed to lie flat on his back the whole of the day and drink beer he should only pity him, and not find fault with him, because his notions of rest differed from those which he entertained. The bill he now asked the house to read a second time con tained three propositions. The first was to enumerate those articles which should not be sold on Sunday ; the second enacted the hours during which perishable articles, such as butchers' meat, vegetables, and fish might be sold, which was sot down that it was to cease at 9 o'clock in the morn ing; and the third related to cooked articles, things that were sold at confectioners' and refreshment houses, the bill enacting that no such shops should be open after ton in the morning or one in tho afternoon. He might be asked what the bill proposed with respect to publichouses and beer shop. The measure did not touch that portion of trade at all, because special legislation was intended on that matter. He was certain the majority of tha metropolitan traders and the poorer class were iu favour of the measure, and he hoped ho shoUld succeed in obtaining the assent of the house to its second reading. It had been said that the cream must be allowed to rise" before legislation .cculd take place; but in this instance the cream, in his belief, had been allowed to rise with a vengeance, and now it was only a question whether they would allow the whole of the mess to get sour. Mr. FEES HFIELD opposed the bill. He looked upon the bill as a wolf in sheep's clothing, or as an act to licensing certain trades. The law at present in force was quite sufficient for the purpose, and he thought it would have been better had the hon. gentleman given evidence to show how the enactment of the Act of Charles 11. could be carried into force. Ho looked upon the measure in its present form altogether as objectionable, and therefore he moved that the bill bo read a second time that day six mon tbs. Mr. POWELL objected to the bill as it at present stood, but if it was improved in committee he would give it his support on the third reading. Sir B. BRIDGES supported the second reading of the bill. Mr. EVANS thanked the hon. member for introducing the bill, and although he thought it susceptible of amend ment in committee, he should vote for its second reading. Mr. HORSFALL doubted whether nine-tenths of the population were in favour of the bill. He knew that iu the borough which he then represented feeling was quite the other way. What was wanted was a bill to enable the constitution authorities to administer the law that at pro sent existed, and not a measure such as that now under discussion. Lord C. HAMILTON said he supported the bill because he looked upon it as a protective and not a coot cive one. It was a bill to enable the tradesmen to have the Sabbath for himself, and not forced by competition which was illegal, an evasion of the law, to carry on his trade during a day which was ordained to be one of rest. He was surprised at the hon. member for Oldham (Mr. Horsfall) opposing the bill on the ground that he did. He told the hon. member opposite (11r. Hughes) that if he brought in a bill to enable the autho rities to carry into effect the present law, he would give h i m his support. He thought such a statement was a clear proof that the present law was altogether inoperative, and required amendment. He also denied that the act was one for licensing Sunday trading, and was certain that nothing was contained in the bill respect ing an y of the enactments at present on the statute-book. He hoped the house would read the bill a second tiMe, in order that the amendments which it was said were required might be made in committee. (LEFT sirme.)

(The following appeared in our late edition of yesterday.) The solemnity of laying tho foundation stone of the new Catholic Church at Kensington dedicated to " Our Lady" took place to .day. His Grace the Archbishop of Westminster performed the ceremony, assisted by the Lord Bishop of Troy (Dr. Morris), Very Rev. Canon O'Neal, V.G., Very Rsv. Dr. Rock, Very Rev. Dr. Knox, of the Oratory; the Rev. FF. Connelly, Gorman, Hussey, Cahill, Dolman, Pennington, Kelly, Toomey ; and the Carmelite Fathers Lewis and Sebastian. There was a very large' attendance of the laity, and amougst the ladies pre sent were Mrs. M. and J. Murieta, Mrs. Durand, Mrs. Grey, Mrs. Landon, and Mrs. Nowlan. The site of the new church is in Newland-terrace, Ken sington, and the design for the sacred edifice is the work of Mr. George Goldie. The style of the church is purely Gothic. It will be 144 feet long, 59 feet wide, 65 feet high, and when completed will afford accommodation for 1,200 persons. The building of the new church is entirely owing to the exertions of the Rev. Father Foley, who, with the Rev. FF. Mitchell and De Burgh, has at present the charge of the parish. Previous to fixing the stone in position his Grace placed in a cavity beneath it a crystal vase, hermeti cally sealed, containing a copy of the dedication of the church, a copy of the Times newspaper, and the coins of the realm usually deposited on such occasions. At the conclusion of the ceremony the company proceeded to an elegant marquee, where defamer vas served, the Archbishop presiding. His Grace, addressing the company, said they were assembled that day to take part in a noble work nobly begun. The present church at Kensington was -not unworthy tho. parish,; but it was altogether insufficient, and therefore the neces sity of erecting a now one. Father Foley had manfully undertaken that great work, and he would not say he hoped he would live to see the accomplishment of his labour, because that would be wishing him a very short life, as the architect had promised him that by next Easter mass should be celebrated therein. It would not,.of course, be entirely completed by that time, but it would be in such a state of forwardness as to admit of the administration of the sacrament. He had often been asked how Catholics bu ilt so many churches, and ho had been often tempted to say he did not know, because they were as poor as rats. It was an old saying, as poor as a church mouse, but the poverty of all the church mice in England would not ex ceed the poverty of the rats. The Catholics, however, were enabled to build their churches bygiving a great deal, by begging a great deal, by borrowing a great deal, and they only stopped at stealing. lie hoped that all pre-- sent would come to the firm resolution of doing all in their power to assist Father Foley in his work ; and as the sturdy beggar was a term to be found iu the com mon law of England, ho hoped they would beg sturdily for him, and if they could do anything by borrowing that they would do it; in fact, ho asked them to do every thing they could for him, but not to steal. He asked them, therefore, to drink "the health of Father Foley, those who assist him in his mission, and success to his work." The Rev. Father Foley said it was six years since he first began his work. Of course he had met with great difficulties, but by the kind co-operation of his Grace he had overcome them. His Grace had encouraged him in every way, and next to that the devotion and zeal of his own people had enabled him to bring his labours to a successful conclusion. Having made that public avowal, he had only to thank his Grace and the company around him for their kind wishes. Tho health of his Grace having been drunk,.the com pany broke up, after making a very handsome subscrip tion towards the expense of the erection of the new church. • We cut the following .froM an American news paper:—"Comic Life of Androo Johnson—includin his stumpin toor out west and orashuns, with a foul akouut of his wonderful rize (and fall). 83 engravings. 50,000 sold.
