When the day of election is fixed, I shall lose no time in forwarding to my friends in the country the necessary letter of kttoraey to enable them to vote by proxy, as well as to those Proprietors in town who may find it more convenient to to vote, if they will he good enough to apprised me of their wishes.

The Governors cannot but feel that this unusual course was calculated to inflict a very serious injury on one of the noblest institutions in the kingdom, and they must be proportionately gratified at receiving a Report which certifies to your Lordship that the patients in the criminal wing " are well and conscientiously treated," and that, by effectually removing the erroneous impres sion, occasioned by the statement made to the Magis trates of the county of Middlesex, enables your Lord ship to accord to the Governors that credit which the physicians appointed by your Lordship state "to be due to the adequate performance of their duty."—llsave the honour to be, my Lord, your Lordship's most obe dient servant, P.

THE CORDIAL BALM of SYRIACUM is intended to relieve those persons who, by an immo derate indulgence of their passions, have ruined their constitu tion, or, on their way to the consummation of that deplorable state, are affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach, as the various affections of the nervous sys tem, obstinate gleets, involuntary emissions, excesses, irregu arity, obstructions of certain evacuations, weakness, total im potencs, barrenness, &c. But the relief administered is not coefined to these alone. The valetudinarian by birth, who has received hem his parent: the inheritance of a diseased and no prolific frame; the delicate female, whom an immured and in active life, together with the immoderate use of tea and other weak and watery aliments, has, without any fault of hers, brought on all the calamitous symptoms of a consumptive habit, and is, without timely assistance, sinking into sin un timely grave. Constitutions relaxed, weak, or decayed, in men or women, are under the immediate influence of this restorative. Ohl coughs, a.nhmas, and consumptive habits are soon relieved, and speedily cured. Poverty of blood and emaciated limbs will, ere long, meet the happiest change . the chill, watery fluid will eecome rich and balsamic, and the limbs be covered with flesh, firm and beautiful, It is remarkable for its efficacy in all dis orders of the digestive organs, and is especially recommended to those who, from the irregularities of youthful age, habits of studious application, or a life of pleasure, have fallen into a d:spondent state of mind, and that distressing train of symp toms commonly denominated the nervous. In such persons the mental are not less enfeebled than the corporeal powers, and to them a remedy that acts with efficacy, without interfering with domestic habits, is rsuliarly desirable.

The fullowirg arc some further particulars of the sud den indisposition of the Illuitrious Duke, in addition to those which we gave last evening in the sc cond edition of 7'he Sun:-- iiis ~ ytace was, as usual, occupying his seat prior to public business being commenced. Notwithstanding the intense cold of the day he went there in an open carriage, which lie has been accustomed to use for some time past While Lord Brougham was ad4ressing the House, abut half-past five o'clock, the Duke suddenly left his seat, Ps if with the intention of quitting the House by the door near the throne. This circumstance, of course, did not attract any pe culiar attention ; but he had not proceeded far before his Grace dropped his hat,which he Licked before him, appearing desirous to get it out of the way, so that he ►night pick it up at the further end of the House, and thus escape oh. servation. As the bat did not go far, he kicked it a second time, when it rolled near Lord Redesdale, who was sitting on the seats occupied by the Judges when they attend the Parliament. His Lords Lip rose to assist the Duke in getting the hat, but as his Grace was by this time staggering, and not stooping for the hat, Lord Brougham called across the table to support him, lest he should fall, and added with considerable feeling, " Send for a surgeon, send for a surgeon." In a moment the Duke was surraunded by se veral Noble Lords, and lett the House supported plod pally by the Earl bf Aberdeen. The Duke was able to walk, but with difficulty, and it was found that be was self . ..ring from an attack of swimming in the head, but his Grace maintained complete self-possession, and convened with those around. He was offered the carriage nearest the House ; but he said his own was in attendance, and he should prefer that. It was not, however, immediately forthcoming, and ho ultimately proceeded in Lord Brougham's close-bodied carriage towards his own residence, attended by the Earl of Aberdeen, &c. Even when in the carriage, the extraor dinary action of the head continued; and it was imagined by those acquainted with the Duke's mode of life, that the attack resulted from his remarkable abstemiousness in re gard to food, and which too frequently characterises his mode of living. It is needless to state that his ill- Pass created great agitation. Lord Ellenborough drove off to obtain medical aid ; and, immediately after the Duke's arrival at Apsley House. Dr. Hume and Dr. Chambers were in attendance. The inquiries at Apsley House were most numerous. Her Majesty, Prince Albert, the Duke of Cambridge, and the Duchess of Gloucester, all sent messengers to make inquiry after the Noble Duke's health. He had been out in the course of the day, and made several visits, apparently in his usual health.

I 'aave the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient hurr.ble servant—WELLINGTON.— , R. H. Jeultiason, Esq."— Litentisk Alercury. Sir—ln forwarding to you, according to your re quest, for the information of the Governors of bethlern Hospital, the report of the medical gentlemen ap pointed by me to inquire into the condition of the luna tics in the criminal wing of that hospital, I think it right to accompany that document with a few observa tions which have occurred to me. on a very attentive perusal of all the evidence taken in the course of the inquiry. It must no doubt bo satisfactory to the Governors that the two physicians charged with this inquiry, who have had so much experience, should express them selves in terms of so decided approbation of the greater part of the general arrangements of the establishment. It does not appear, from the examination of Mr. Da-by Shelley by the physicians, that ke had felt the change of room at all as a hardship, having merely complained to them of necessary restraint, of quite a different description. As, however, this investigation originated in a letter from the Governors to me, complaining in strong lan guage of a statement made by Mr. Sergeant Adams, I cannot quit this part of the subject without stating can didly my impression, that if Mr. Sergeant Adaa.s was led into error (as it now appears that he was), this wa en'irely owing to the conduct of one of the servants of the establishment ; and that it was most natural that he should leave the hospital on that day with the impres sion that a state of things existed which demanded in quiry, and, if proved, correction. It is impossible, I think, to read the evidence of Joseph Fellows, and believe it to be founded upon an accurate recollection of what actually passed between him and Mr. Sergeant Adams. It seems rather as if, having no very distinct impression on the subject, he had adapted it to what he afterwards thought he ought to have said. He states, for instance, that in " conclu sion,' and "as a second cause of confinement," he had mentioned " his attempt to strike one of the ollicers." Can any one doubt that Mr. Sergeant Adams' recollec tion is correct, and that he then named the officer threatened? How, otherwise, should Mr. Sergeant Adams have known who it was? The same keeper's action in applying his key would have naturally led to the conclusion that the door was locked ; and the fair inference from his direct, though somewhat ambiguous, answer to the Sergeant's question would be, that the patient had been in that department or cell for the time he stated. The Governors will rejoice that the result cf :hit in quiry must he, to impress upon the servants a more universal knowledge of the very proper distinction taken by the medical men, confirmed by themselves, and, I believe, acted upon generally by the officers, between necessary control or restraint, and arbitrary punishment. I cannot omit this opportunity of impressing upo❑ the Governors the want of sufficient means of em ployment which appears to be felt in the criminal wing, particularly among the female patients, who, by the matron's account, seem sometimes to have very little to do. It would be desirable that they should have a regular supply of work suitable to their sex. The construction of the apartments in which Shel ley was placed seems very objectionable, inasmuch as it was in utter darkness, or without any protection from the weather. WhEe approving much of the new rule of nightly reports of restraint, I certainly feel sonic surprise that it should not have been earlier in practice in so well es'ii.blished an asylum ; as, from my personal inspection of many similar institutions in this country and Irc laid, I believe it to be in very general use as a most salutary check upon abuses, to which all authority over those whose want of reason deprives them of the power of eppral must be peculiarly subject. I quite feel, at the same time, that the violent dUs• position (as shown by their offences) of those confined in the criminal wing makes it absolutely necessary to take every precautio❑ for the safety of those in whose charge they are. I do not think it necessary in this stage of the busi ness to enter into the question between the Governors and Mr. Sergeant Adams, as to the mode of conducting the inquiry ; but I should strongly recommend that that gentleman should be especially invited to attend at the meeting at which the physicians' report is made.— I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient bundle servant, NOR MAN BY.

In that letter it must have appeared that I consi dered it a necessary condition, in complying with your request, that I should, at the same time, after an at tentive consideration of the whole of the proceedings in stituted at my desire, and for my information and deci sion, convey my own opinion upon many circumstances elicited by the evidence, and but imperfectly adverted to in the Report. upon d by opinion I cannot but consider it unfair that this Report should have been published bef ore that general meeting at which I had particularly recommended that Mr. Sergeant Adams should have bee n specially invited to that attend t hu ; and circumstances founded haddesire been observed the great Sergeant were suc h as, at the ti me , thoroughly to warrant the impressions wh i c h he h ad then imbibed. des i ire am to s a u c r t upon h sure the Governors principle of doing ample j us ti ce to the motives and conduct of an y one who gives them an opportunity of origina tin g the mos t searching te of Betblen, Hospital must in quiry into any circumstances of a suspicious aspect, and must feel that it is no unimportant part of such in quiry that there should be no premature or partial pub lication, but that at the proper time the fullest and fairest communication of the result should be given to the public.

My Lord,—i the honour to acquaint y ou , in your Loro.ship's letter of this date, that the rc- , port o f the physicians as to Bethlein Hospital has nut b . .ien published by the authority of the Committee, or of the President or Treasurer. Your Lordship will observe that the Report h as , by ' order of the Commit tee, been printed and c i rcu l a t e d am ongst the Governors , t o enable them to take c it into an. e n o o n t s b i ( e l e a r amt matter e a r t t o l f k e next .g eneral ; Court so extended a i ; and circulation, a Report so highly interesting to the public ' at large should be p ublished in the newspapers. Bethiem Hospital, with the . exception of th e cr i m i na l , wing, is supported by private hoerality, and rests upon public opinion ; and every Governor must, therefore, be desirous that so satisfactory a statement , made by the highest authority, sh ould obtain the same publicity through the same m edium as the . accusations against us. The Committee being of opinion that the Report of, the physician, founded, as it is, upon a careful and un- COPY OF LETTER IROM THE MARQUIS OF NORMANBY TO SIR PETER LAURIE. Whitehall, Jan. 18, 1841. Sir,—l should not have considered it necessary to protract the correspondence on the subject of I3,!thlem Hospital, merely for the purpose of stating that I con ceive every part of your letter of the 16:hi instant tc confirm my opinion of the impropriety of the publication of the physicians' report in its present shapa, and at this period of the proceedings ; but there is one sentence of your letter which proceeds upon so complete a mis apprehension of the nature of the inquiry, and the re halve position of the parties, that I cannot pass it by witheut ❑otice. You state that, " the Committee being of opinion that the Report of physicians, founded as it is upon a cireful and unprejudiced inquiry into the whole circum stances, should be sent to the Governors without com ment or observation, is the only reaso❑ why your Lord ship's letter was not also circulated." . _ . Tue object of the inquiry was to satisfy, not the Go vernors merely, but myself, who am officially respon sible for the treatment of the lunatics in the criminal wine. ' , to which alone the inquiry was confined. lappointed two gentlemen to collect evidence, and report it for my information and judgment upon it. After studying carefully the evidence so collected, I thought it necessary to accompany their Report with some additional observations, not only on the origin of the complaint, on which some stronger language had been used by the Go vernors in their letter to me than I thought was borne out by the course of the examination ; but also on the conduct of some of the servants, and the condition of the patients. It is true that the effect of those obser vations was to qualify, in some details of management, the approhatioa 1 should otherwise have been supposed completely to share. I regret that I felt it necessary to express those opinions ; hut having done so, their effect will not be altered by any apparent attempt at their suppression. I am sure that the Governors would much regret such an appearance, yet nothing could be more calculate] to produce that effect than the id-judged pro ceedings of the Committee, of which so strange an ex planation is given in your letter ; as if my communica tion to you was the chance comment of an iudifferent person, instead of the opinion of one whose imperative duty it is to watch over and correct any abuses in the treatment of criminal lunatics. Gonceiving such to be the position in which I stand on this subject, 1 expect, of course, that my views will meet with proper attention, and therefore desire you will communicate the whole of this correspondence to the general meeting of Governors.—l am, Sir, your most obedient bumble servant, NORMANBY.

My Lord,—l have the honour to acknowledge your letter of this date, in which you state that there is one sentence in my last letter which proceeds upon a corn plez.e misapprehension of the nature of this inquiry, and that the object of it was to satisfy not merely the Go vernors of Bethlem Hospital but your Lordship. Your Lordship will at once perceive th it this misap prehension does not originate with me, as your Lord ship will recollect that the inquiry was not only insti tuted on the suggestion and at the express desire of the Governors, but that in the letter of the Hon. Fox Maule, of the 18th of November, the following reason is given by your Lordship for acceding to our wish : " Lord Normanby desires me to inform you, that in order to satisfy the Committee, and to assure the public, that the unhappy individuals in the criminal wing are properly treated, his Lordship will send two eminent physicians to investigate the charge made by Mr. Ser geant Adams that the patient, John Darby Shelley, had been subjected to harsh and improper treatment." I cannot doubt that your Lordship will share in the satisfaction with which " the Committee and the public" have received the very able report of the two eminent physicians appointed by your Lordship to investigate this charge, which justifies that confidence so long re posed in us by her Majesty's Government. Nothing can be farther from the intention or the wish of the Governors of Bethlem Hospital than to suppress the observations of your Lordship, which" laid before the Committee, and were entered on the journals, as is the case with every communication addressed to me as President ; and those, together with this corres pondence, will, as of course, be submitted to the consi deration of the General Court on the 25th inst. I have the honour to be, my Lord, your Lordship's most obedient servant, P. LAURIE, President. The Most Hon. the Marquis of Normanby, &c. COPY OF A LETTER FROM LORD NORMANBY TO SIR P. LAURIE. 'Whitehall, Jan. 20, 1811. Sir,--I have to acknowledge the receipt, this morn ing, of your letter of the 18th inst. lamat a loss to conceive with what view you quote the extract from the letter of Mr. Fox Manic of the 18th November, because, far from confirming the misapprehension under which you seem still to labour, it shows, as I have al ready felt, that the inquiry originated in a laudable de sire, on the part of the Governors, to refer the case for my decision, upon information to be collected and re ported to me ; as the Governors naturally felt that no thing could so much tend to reassure the public in re gard to the treatment of the criminal lunatics as the opinion of the person responsible to the country for that treatment. The institution of the inquiry was sit tisfatetory to the Governors, because they looked to its re sult being satisfactory to me. The opinion I had formed I tot warded to you on the 4th inst., with the report made to me, and the evidence on which it was founded ; and this letter of mine the Committee thought it proper to withhold for the time, upon the strange ground, as 'stated by you, that it consisted of comments or .ebservations, of which it was better that the Go vernors should at present remain in ignorance. It was not to be expected that the existence of such a docu ment could remain unknonn ; and therefore it is not ma tter of surprise, if the general belief is that, if that opi pion had been altogether satisfactory to the Com ; mittee, it would now have been circulated, and con sequi eitly published, with the report which accom panied it. The result of this injudicious course on the part of the Committee has, therefore, been, that, with the appearance of attempt at concealment, they have created an impression that my opinion was more gene rally unfavourable than it really was ; nor, unless then e errors are corrected at the general meeting of the Governors, will it be held that the subsequent proceed ings have been conducted in the spirit of the letter of tho Treasurer, of the Ist of December, quoted in the cons se of the investigation, which gave the assurance that no impediment should be thrown in the way of the most searching inquiry I might think proper to insti tute —I am, Sir, your most obedient and humble servant, NORMANBY.

LAURIE, President. 'Me Most Hon. the Marquis of Normanby, &c. The officers and men of her Majesty's ship 2Etna, at Liverpool, receiving ship, have subscribed two as' pay for the relief of the widows and orphans of the d lat y e brig Fairy. James William Gilbart, Esq., always thought it a fa vourable circumstance in the progress of a bank, when the annual report of its proceedings furnished but scanty materials for making a speech. But while the individual circumstances of this bank call for no particular observa tion, the class of banks to which it belongs are at the pre sent moment the subject of peculiar interest. There were two points connected with these banks that would probably soon occupy the attention of the Legislature. The first was, the general amendment of the law of partnership, so far as regards banking companies ; and the second was, the establishment of a sole bank of issue throughout the country. Year after year, for several years past, the Committee of Deputies appointed by the Joint-Stock Banks had memorialized her Alaj.sty's Government with the view of obtaining a general amendment of the law, but hitherto without success. All they had been able to ohtain was an Act now and then to remedy some specific defect, after some atrocious case of dishonesty had cc- eurred, and not only so, but these Acts were always in the first instance passed for only a limited time—usually about two years. At first it was discovered that if a clergyman were a shareholler in a Joint-stock Bank, it was placed beyond the pale of the law ; it could neither sue its debtors nor be sued by its creditors. Then it was found that a Joint-stock Bank could not sue its own shareholders for a debt, and after. wards that a shareholder might rob the bank with impu nity, as the bank could not prosecute a shareholder crimi nally. The Act which remedied the last two defects ex pires next year. But there are many other defects in the law that required to be redressed. The legal proceedings that were taking place term after term with regard to the Imperial Bank of England and the Agricultural and Com mercial Bank of Ireland, furnish abundant evidence of the present defective state of the law. Besides, those Joint stock Banks that are located in London and within 65 miles thereof, are subject to peculiar disabilities. No Joint-stock Bank in London can, as such, sue any of its debtors. The number of its partners is a practical ob. stAcle. Hence, when a person opens an account he signs a contract, giving to certain persons therein named the power of suing him for any monies he may hereafter owe to the bank. There is another defect in the law—Joint-stock Banks in London, and within sixty-five miles, cannot ac cept bills drawn at less than six months after date. This, too, is deemed a privilege of the Bank of England. What is granted to other parties as a matter of right, is viewed, with regard to Joint-stock Banks, as a matter of privilege. The power to sue their debtors, or to accept bills for less than six months, is, with regard to banking partnerships consisting of not snore than six persons, not a privilege but a right—but with regard to Joint-stock Banks, these are not rights but privileges. The next topic that would en gage the attention of Parliament would be the establishment of one bank of issue. He had often been asked whether he theught that one bank of issue would bs established; be had always answered " No I" for he thought the scheme was so visionary in theory, and would be so injurious in operation, that no body of practical statesmen would ever be found to bring forward such a measure. The Bank of England, judging from her anxiety to form agreements with other hanks, would like to have all the circulation of the country, and some distinguished political economists were in favour of such a measure. The political econo mists contend that the amount of the circulation ought to fluctuate according to the importation and exportation of bullion ; and that this could only be effected by the esta blishment of one bank of issue. These principles bad not been acknowledged by the Bank of England, nor has site ever conducted either her London or her country circu lation upon these principles. Thus the sole principle on which it can rest is disputed, and its practical effects were also disputed. lie was no politician, and he thought that no banker ought to be a politician. He eau sidered that politics, like banking, was a science in itself, and he wag willing to leave it in the hands of those who made it their study ; and he had a strong im pression that the government of a state very much re sembled the government of a bank in this respect—that it was much easier to write a pamphlet, a review, or a leading article upon the subject, than actually to exercise the functions of government. There is, however, one snb ject which almost every man understands better than it is understood by a Prime Minister—that one subject is his own profession ; and they, as practical bankers nho understood perfectly their own profession, and daily wit nessed the effects of banking operations in the respective localities in which they were placed, did not think that they were guilty of any disrespect towards the rulers of the land, or of any overweening conceit of themselves, in believing that their own judgment as to the effects that would he produced by one bank of issue, was more likely to be correct than that of any statesman or phi. losopher who has not had equal means of information. If such a measure were carried at all, it must be carried by the ' Government or by the Opposition, or by both united. With regard to the Government, we must recollect that it is com posed of practical statesmen who would look to the practical effects of the establishment of one bank of issue, and would not introduce it merely for the purpose of testing the truth of philosophical theory. The subject would involve questions of finance, of taxation, of national prosperity, of political power, and of party influence. The Chancellor of the Exchequer would naturally inquire whence he was to bor row money upon his deficiency bills? Whether he was to depend upon the caprice of the Stock Exchange, or whe ther he should increase the taxation of the country, in order to render himself independent of all such assistance ? lie might also ask, whether to annoy and cripple the banking interest throughout the country was the best means of ob taining any future loan, or of being supported in his finan cial operations ? Might not the Government, too, have some doubts whether the establishment of a monopoly of the cur rency was a measure exactly consistent with their principle as Liberals, and with the doctrines of free trade, which on other occasions they had so strongly advocated ? There might be some difficulty in deciding what kind of bank of issue should be trusted, far the advocates of one Bank were divided into three parties ' - one party wished the Bank of England to be the one Bank, another wished for a Government Bank, and a third wished it to be entrusted to Parliamentary Commis sioners independent of the Government. But, suppose all these difficulties overcome, and the measure finally arranged, could it certainly be carried through Parlia ment ? If introduced as a Government measure, might it not be opposed by the Conservatives ; and could the Mi nistry rely upon the support even of their own adherents? All these considerations would, he apprehended, be maturely weighed by the Government before they would commit themselves to this measure, and he thought they would never bring it forward, unless they could insure the co-operation of the Conservatives. Bat were the Conser vatisee as a party likely to introduce or to support this measure ? The principles of all bankers, with respect to those principles that form the foundation of civil society, are essentially Conservative. From motives of self-interest, bankers must be friendly to the security of pr ivate property,the legitimate influence of wealth, the impartial administration of justice and inviolability of the national faith, and the supremacy of the law. Bankers must be opposed to ail popular commotion, to all appeals to physical force, for in those seasons they would be the chief sufferers. Again, it is universally asserted that the main strength of the Conservative party lies among the agriculturists. Now nearly all the notes of the private and Joint stock Banks circulate in the agricultural districts. If these notes were abolished, the bankers must call in the loans they bad granted to the farmers and others, and hence great dis tress. Now, is it likely that the Conservative party would content to a measure that should spread distress through out those districts in which lies their chief support, and thus alienate the minds of their own adherents? The De mocratical party in America are opposed to all banking in stitutions, upon the ground that they lead to the formation of a moneyed aristocracy. Upon the same ground the Con servatives ought to support them. For in times of popular tumult the aristocracy of money will join the aristocracy of rank in resistance to the movement party. From all these considerations he was led to believe that the Conservatives would not introduce a measure for the establishment of one bank of issue. But notwithstanding all this probable rea soiling, it must be admitted to be a possible case, that the the leaders of both parti6s might join in in tr i od to be establishment of one bank of issue. What s ' done then? This certainly alters the case iri one yery im portant respect. It the Liberal party introduced. thethe ques tion, tiou, the Conservatives might oppose them, if Con servatives introduced the question, they might ties be t o b p u i s m o se 3 d . by the Liberals ; and should the two l posed, the banking interest is amply t a w r erful to give the preponderance to that party which might espouse their cause. But should the leaders of both parties concur in the measu re, it would be no l on g er a p arty question. Now the allegiance of a Member of Parliament to that tohis party is confin e d to party questions. U p on the suppositionthe establish ment of one bank were not a party uestion, the leaders of the two parties could not command the votes of their respec. tive adherents. Besides, as we are dealing in suppositions, we must not only suppose that the leaders of both parties shall endeavour to establish one bank of issue, from a sincere conviction that such a measure would be conducive to the good of Abe country. We must also suppose that the banking interest, from an equally sincere convict:on that such a measure would be injurious to the country, would be equally vigorous in opposing it. We will suppose that in every place in which there is a batik or a branch bank, a public meeting shall be held to pass resolutions, and pre pare petitions to Parliament, on behalf of the local circu lation ; that a deputation from the bankers shall wait upon every Member of Parliament, accompanied by some of the most influential supporters of each, and request their support to these petitions; that the Scotch and Irish banks shall use their influence with their Scotch and Irish Mem bers to induce them to support the system under which Scotland has so long prospered, and which is beginning to produce its natural effects in the increase of the agriculture and trade of Ireland; and that all these measures are pur sued with a degree of organization, zeal, and perseverance, which shall prove that the parties are in earnest. What would probably be the results ? Would not the measure be withdrawn, or, if pressed to a division, would not the leaders of the two parties he left in a minority? Under such cir cumstances, it will naturally be asked, what ought the Joint stock Banks to do ? At present they should do nothing, but leave their cause in the hands of the London Committee of Deputies. That Committee will no doubt immediately put themselves in communication with th e Ch ance ll or o f the Exchequer upon the subject of a general amendment of the law of partnership, as far as regards Banking Com panies. With regard to the establishment of one hank of issue, they are amply provided with wit nesses rea dy t o be hzemined by the Parliamentary Committee upon banks of issue as soon as appointed. These witnesses are practical bankers, from different parts of the country, and can be produced to any number that the Parliame n t ar y Com mittee arc willing to receive. Is his opinion, the banks of issue should not make any public dereenstration until they were attacked. As soon as any Parlierneetary Com mittee should recommend the eata'ulisbment of one bank of issue, cr should any member of Parliament give notice of such a motion, then would be the time of action. In the mean time they should keep their powder dry ; and he thought they would do well to pay at tention to the following points the first place they ought to be united among themselves. He trusted that these Joint-stock banks which did not issue notes would make common cause with those that did. By the esta blishment of one bank of issue these banks would lose the benefit of their three per cent. agreements. The Bank of England, too, in order to administer the circulation, would have to establish other branches, at all of which she would compete with the existing banks in every department of their business But were the sole bank a Government bank, the thee per cent, agreements would still be lost, and the present branches of the Bank of England, de prived of their issue, could only be rendered profi able by competing with the other banks Hs batiks of deposit and dis count. Secondly. They should Le on the most friendly terms with the country bankers. The Bank of England had op posed them in Parliament, pursued them throegli the courts of law, and annoyed them by her business regulations. The London bankers had excluded them from the clearing house. The country bankers as a body had never adopted any active hostilities against the Joint stock Banks. He really thought that in the districts beyond sixty-five miles from London, the Joint-Stock Banks were numerous enough. Ho would rather ace the joint-stock interests extending by means of the existing banks acquiring more capital and increased strength, rather than by the formation of new establishments. Upon the present question the private and Joint-Stock Banks had a community' of interest, and it would be folly for them to contend about their minor differences, while a power was hovering over them, watching an opportunity to destroy them both. Th'rdiy. They ought to place themselves is a position of high financial independence. Where it was necessary, the banks should call up more capital, and in all cases they should avoid locking up their funds in mortgages, dead loans, or overdrawn accounts; and they should not render themselves dependent on the London Money Market for the re-discount of their bills. In banking contests as well as in other contests money forms the sinews of war. Besides, it should be recollected that if they are detested they a ill want their funds to pay off their notes. Fourthly. They should avail themselves of that powerful instrument the public presa. They should distribute in their respective localities those pamphlets that might be published on the subject, and especially the excellent work of Mr. Bailey. They should patronize those newspapers that ads ocated their cause, and endeavour to procure their admission into clubs, or reading-rooms, or Chambers of Commerce of which they might be members. Most Join;-stock Banks s t )end a greal deal of money in advertising their meetings and divi dends, and preference should be given in such cases to those papers that are friendly to the country banks. Lastly. We should never forget that the battle of the banks must be fought in the House of Commons, and they should look forward to a general election as the season for exertion. Let no shareholder in a Joint-stock Bank promise his vote until he has ascertained the sentiments of the candidate upon the subject. But it was not at all necessary that he should act inconsistently with his own political predilections. If a Conservative candidate asked the vote of a shareholder in a Joint-stock Bank who was friendly to Conservative principles, he should reply, .• Yes ; I will give you my vote if you will declare from the hustings that you will oppose the establishment of one bank of luaus : if you will not do this, I will not promise you my support." If a Liberal candidate applied to a Li.. beral shareholder, lie should receive the same reply ; and if by this means such a declaration should be made by 100 Members of Parliament, both the possessors and the expect ants of office would soon become wonderfully enlightened upon the subject. The shareholders, too, who might be on Election Committees, should encourage the candi dates to make declarations of this sort. They ought also to endeavour to persuade as many of their Directors as were qualified to become candidates. There were at pre sent 25 Members of Parliament who were Directors of Joint stock Banks. Of these, 10 were, Conservative, and 15 were Liberals. These numbers ought to be considerably increased, and lie trusted they would be, on both sides of the House, after the next general election. While, how ever, he would thus be prepared for war, be was sin cerely anxious for peace. He trusted they should not be drawn from their peaceful occupations to engage in public strife. He was desirous ot' a banking millenium, in which all the banking institutions of the country should be at peace with each other, and in which even the lion of the Bank of England should lie down with the lamb of the Joint-stock banking.

From state ments made to us on the subject, we have no doubt that an advantage far exceeding the amount of the 27 votes by which Mr. Gladstone eventually carried his election, was gained at the last revision, by filling the register with Tories who had no right to be upon it, and striking out Liberals whose names ought to have been retained. Under all these unfavourable circumstances, for Mr. Smith to poll within 27 votes of his opponent showed very extraordinary strength, and proved that, with a little attention to the register, and a fair start at the time of election, the issue of the contest would have been alto gether different.-- , Manchester Guardian.
