MR. GLADSTONE .AND THE BANK OF ENGLAND. The correspondence between the late Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Bank of England, relative to the payment of the dividends, of which some fragments ap peared at broken intervals, is now published in lull, and we are enabled to form a decided opinion on the whole controversy. The point in dispute lies in a nutshell ; but it has been deemed advisable to obtain the legal opinions of the Attorney and Solicitor-General on behalf of the Crown, and those of Sir F. Belly and Mr. Roun dell Palmer on that of the Bank. The privileged Cor poration in Threadneedle-street acts as an agent to Go vernment in paying the Dividends ; for the performance of which duty it receives a liberal compensation : the Exe cutive is bound to provide it with the means, and in case there should be a deficiency in the Exchequer, the Legis lature has invested the Treasury with power to raise money by bills, to be discounted by the Bank of England. It has hitherto been the practice, arising from the in terpretation of certain acts of Parliament, for the Chief Cashier of the Bank to receive in one payment the whole amount of dividends on a day specified in those alts ; and th e . question submitted to counsel was, whether the practice was strictly binding on the Treasury? Mr. Glad stone asserts that it may be quite reasonable when the funds of the Exchequer are ample, but that it m ay be come very unremovable when they are low, as, in the latter case, Government would have to borrow from toe Bank, and pay interest on Exchequer Bills. It is an ob served fact that the dividends are never wholly paid on the exact day that they become due, many landholders not making an immediate demand ; and Mr. Gladstone argues that, provided provision be made from day to day, so that no public creditor is delayed in recovering his claim, the polity of the statutes is satisfied ; and in that view the Crown lawyers concur. On the other hand, the advisers of the Ban k have arrived at an opposite conclusion : To introduce (saY they) the practice of issuing and paying to the Bank of England the amount of the half-yearly divi dend, not on'one day and in one sum (as appointed'by the Acts of Parliament creating the. Stock), but at different times after the appointed day, and in such sums from time to time 9.8 the Commissioners of the Treasury may deem sufficient to keep the Bank of England in cash, against the probable demands of fandholders when they actually apply for their dividends, would be, in our opinion, more than a formai departure from the. course authorised and prescribed by tfie statutes; it would be to derogate in a substantial point from the security given by the Legislature to the fund holders for punctuality in the payment of their dividends; and it would be to place the Bank in a position of great embarrassment between the public interests intrusted to them on the one hand, and their own private responsibili ties on the other. Neither the Government nor the Bank have, under the existing statutes, any legal right or power to give one fundholder (in the same stock) any preference or priority whatever above another ; and the Bank are under no legal obligation to pay any dividend, to anybody until they have received from the Government a sum to enable them to pay all the dividends to every body en titled. Money not sufficint for the payment of the whole dividend is not legally applicable in the hands of the Bank to the payment of any part of it ; the law does not suppose or provide for the case of a partial payment on Account either to the Bank or by the Bank. This opinion concludes with advising the Bank, when s ever the Commissioners of the Treasury fail in making the payment of the whole amount of any half-yearly dividend is one payment, to make a representation to the First Minister, that he may submit the matter to Parliament. The Crown lawyers were called upon to reply to this opinion, and we subjoin some paragraphs, giving their view of the subject : The relation between the Government and the Bank is subordinate to the relation between the Government and the fundholder; and it seems absurd to us to hold (as is in effect done by the opinion before us) that the statutes have created a greater obligation or liability on the part of the Government to the Bauk than exists between the Govern ment and the public creditor. But this would be the con sequence if, as the Bank insists, the Government is bound to borrow money of the Bank before that money can be re- • quired for the public creditor. The obligation of the Go vernment is to pay the fundholders as and when they apply to the Bank for such payments; and it is sufficientif it provides the Bank iu due time with the means of making such a p • ment. The Bank, in like manner, is not bound (as a lite ral interpretation of the statutes would import) to find out and pay the fundholder on the appointed day, but wait until he comes for his dividend. That all the fundholders should apply for and receive their' dividends on the , day od which they become dne is a practical impossibility. The construction contended for by the Bank is nott one suggested by 'any public convenience, but directed solely to its individual adsantuge. The Bank has stipulated for and receives a•speciee remuneration for the service it 'Tar forms. But it is now seeking, in addition to this p7.01i, , t - payment, to obtain, by means of a literal interpretation of the acts of Parliament, the indirect advantage of i!oln pulling the Government to borrow the money of ite,e:l, under the guise of enabling it to pay the public creditor before such money can by possibility be required for th tit purpOse. Setting aside all legal quibbles and verbal technica , Mies this last sentence hits the nail on the head! and clenches it. Yes, it is quite true—a joint-stock eJm pany, most unjustly privileged, and which has gitown up to be what it is by enjoying the most odious nior o . ,pely, is seeking to extort additional gain for its ono shareholders at the expense of the public tax-payer, 54 hat s sirit of cupidity inspires this Corporation, which flourishes uudcr the deceptive misnomer of the Bank of England ? Are not its notes ' which have no more intrinsic value .than the notes of any other joint-stock company; de clared legal tender, in defiance of every principle of free trade ? • And when panic has arisen, involving the pr.'s `tration of mit rchants, manufacturers, shipowners, and pri vate banks, Is it not an historical fact that, when danger has approached the Bank of England, the law has n siiiesended in its favour, to rescue it from the ruin in which other establishments have been involved ? G nu won gratitude for innumerable favours received ought to have dissuaded the directors froni haggling about the legal interpretation of a statute, with no other of j, et than to enhance their own gains. The opportunity is convenient for making some brief ,observations on the monetary relations between the Go vernment and the Bank. The prerogative of making money, that is to say, of making legal tender, has long since been transferred from the Crown to that privileged Corporation. When the Treasury is deficient, and com pelled to borrow, it calls into existence those instruments which are called Exchequer Bills, which are not a legal tender, neither are they convertible into gold on demand. They are simply documents drawn in anticipation of a future revenue to be derived from accrning receipts of Customs, Excise, and other sources of taxation. They possess no intrinsic value, but derive a conventional value from the authority of the State which puts them into circulation, and may be assimilated to long-dated bills drawn by the Government, and impliedly accepted lay the whole body of the people, charged upon the whole of' their property to the last shilling and the last acre. They are, therefore, national securities in the highest sense of the term, but, be it well observed, they are not legal tender; that is to say, if a debtor presented them to his creditor in payment of a debt for which he had been sued, and on which judgment had been entered up, such preeentaeie n or tender would not in law release hie: from the Sheriff's warrant. Under these circumstances the Government lodges Eschequeishiiis with the Bank of England, which gives its notes in exchange ; these are legal tender, so that the inferior security, the security of the Bank,. has attached to it a far higher value in-ex change than the national security swhien is embodied in the Exchequer-bill. Surely this is absurd on the face of it ; but something more than absurdity is involved in the system. The Batik charges interest for the ace ne niodation, and that interest becomes a tax on the peo /Serty and industry of the country, which goes i nto t h e l oselietauf the shareholde rs o f the Bank, not into the coffer.] of the public Treasury. This is just what the Bank Wanted to do With Mr. Gladstone, and we viva him credit for resisting the extortion ; but we are sur prised that a gentleman of his analytical and reflective mind should swallow ..the camel while he strains at the eons. objection is to pay interest on E xc h eqner•hilla 114 some few days ; but why pay at all 83me eighty years have elapsed since Adam Sm i th observed of thi s system of anticipating taxes, that " like an i n , w heoe pressing occasions will provident spendthrift, allow him to wait fir the regular payment of his reve nue, the State is in the Constant practice of borrowing of its own factors and agents, and of paying interest fur the use of its own money." An Exchequer Bill entitles A B, or order, to one lino dred or one thousand pounds, as the case may be, wita interest, pay a bl e out • o f , t f ie first aids or supplies to h e granted in the next Session of Parliament; and this bill Is tO be current and pass in any of the publio refenue 9 , aids, taxis, or Supplies, or at the receipt of Exchequer at Westminster, after the sth day of April next. t„-inch is the formula. It is legally competent to any person holding an Exchequer Bill to tender it in payment , of taxes ; and such was th e p ract i ce when .it, were first issued in 1696 by Mr. Montague, then Chancellor of the Exchequer. At that time they were small in amount, being for sums of 10/. and' upwards, and thus they easily passed into commerce, and discharged the ordi: nary function s ' o f money . At present th lowest Ex chequer Bill rep resen ts 1001 ., and they run as, highas 1000/. ; hence they do not pass into commerce, and - are rarely, if ever, tendered in payment of taxation. - -N, we would ask Mr. Glad s t one if any sound reason 6037 S why we should not restore the practice of Mr. Montague, . and issue small bills, even f or 5 1 . ? SuPPose ttisiva done, and the interest upon them abolished, would not the Chancellor of the Exchequer become independent of th e Bank; and would not the country save a larg e annua l amo unt of taxes ? No doubt about it can exist. We now pay interest_ for receiving an inferior for a superior scea rity, the commercial notes of the Bank for the Imperial bills of the nation, as if the relation of - stibject and Sov(T:' reign were inverted, and the Bank Directors Were the Government, the Government a body of subalterns acting under the Dank, and by its favoUr and permissio n . if any of our readers think this statement overcharged, let them bear in mind that the Bank on various occa sions has threatened to refuse advances to the Treanury— a state of humiliation positively dis graceful, but of which we could give Many proofs. Let one suffice. The following reply to ah a pp licitton ,for pecnniary aid was made on the 6th July, 1814 : "Resolved, that the application ont idler be co mp li e d . With ; but, after the remonstrancoer. c;i in the said contained that hav e b een made from time to time again" f ! n t h e mons and u nprecedented amount of the advances o Bank on Ezchequer Bills, this Court entertains Such Bah stantial objections• to a farther increa.se, that it would most decidedly refuse tho• present application, if it sv9i'a not inrassmentformed b y it. that tho publi c would sneer very bar serious em- • T " assenting, ther e f ore , thus reluc tantly to the accottmodatioujequired, tho chairs are di rected to acquaint the First Lord of the Treasury and'the Chancellor of the Exche ci wer, f or .their guidance, that it 'cannot grant any further, advances, and expects such r raogernents to be made as shall toad to a very considerable re _I ue tiottieftltheZetartrancere . appsliot 04ga?-skateti.msecitireZto itself agai ns t the con- fia ,4091t,y, tTrieP in the matter, for if Exchequer Bills are good security to the shareholders of the Bank of England, they are pod security to the whole body cf the people ; and, provided they are sufficiently small in amount to pass current in sales and purchases, the Government would never have occasion to borrow of the privileged Corporation. Be sides, what right has a Minister of the Crown to demand from the Bank notes exchangeable into gold at Mint prices in return for large Exchequer Bills which are not HO exchangeable ? Now that Mr. Gladstone is out of office, and has leisure to meditate oh moketary science more deeply than he seems hitherto to have done, lit him turn his attention from sums of money to principles of money ; and, instead of haggling about the interpre tation of an Act of Parliament, make himself master of that system which would save every farthing of interest on Exchequer Bills, and render the Treasury indepen dent of a joint-stock c ompany.—lllustrated London News.

A Dublin paper (S'aunclers's Newsletter) contains the following accoint of a serious mutiny in the Kerry Militia, statione.l at Limerick : - "Oa Sunday, when this corps mustered upon parade to march for chapel service, intimation was given that, by orders of General Chatterton, commandant of the district, they were not to be played to worship as usual when in Kerry by their baud. As soon as this communication was made the men became discontented, and a flame of indigna tion spread throughout the entire ranks. A general dis position to mutiny suddenly sprang up from one end of the line to the other, and Major Spring having called upon the most aggrieved in the affair to stand forward, a corporal of the Kerry Militia did so, and was immediately placed under arrest. He was instantly conveyed to the guardhouse, having previously struck Major Spring. The entire body then revolted, broke from their position, proceeded to the guardhouse, and forcibly released the corporal, who was carried in triumph through the barrack-square upon the shoulders of his comrades. The se , jeant-major (Godly) was also struck on the occasion, and since then the entire of the Kerry Militia have been confined to barracks. " When in Buttovant theß,oman Catholic parish priest of that place communicated with the commanding officer of the Kerry Militia with a view that the band of that corps should not play to chapel service. A serjeant of the 9th depot, suspected of having been implicated in stimulating the Kerry boys' to revolt, is under arrest." APPOINTMENTS.

MEL MURDER OF A LITTLE BOY AT B UXGEEFOIW. On Monday a report was circulated in Hungerford that a little boy, four years of age, had been found on the Downs with his head fearfully mutilated, and mur dered by some unknown hand. Inquiries were made, and it was discovered to be the body of a child named Ros;er, whose father is a labourer living in High-street. It was subsequently ascertained that a boy named Sopp, 12 years of age, whose father is a_ gardener, also living in Hi g h- street, was sent on to the Downs by his master, ' Mr. Pocock, to cut some furze, for which purpose he took a billhook. At eight o'clock in the morning he was seen walking hand in hand With the child, and five hours afterwards its murdered body was discovered by a girl named Susannah Barnes. The boy Sopp was appre hended in the course of the afternoon, and the next L , morning confessed that the billhook slipped out of 'his hand and struck the child ; he was afraid he should he blamed for this, and therefore killed the child outright. Sopp bears a very indifferent character, having been be- fere the magistrates several times for petty offences. i e nedbe th fo e r e p t e b r e i l ous position 1 H On o la'prpideaayretdhevebroy-yuwnacs examined at in which he was placed.

About two I and 'afternoon, my little girl came into the and where o'clock in the Sopp were working, and told me, in Sopp's bear i ng , that a little boy h a d b een murdered on the Downs, who, she understood, wag li ttle Rosier.

" He repeated this 1 several times in the afternoon. Hart, the constable, came down to my house about; six o'clock in the evening to examine the bill-hook and prong.

VI of-truageriord, On Tuesday last, about half-past two o'clock, I was in formed that a little boy had been found dead on the Down. Went and saw the child at Joseph Rosier's house. I found that Sopp had been cutting furze that morning on the. Down. I took possession of the bill hook and left. Upon further information I received, I went to Sopp's house the same evening, charged him with the murder, and took him into custody. Sopp ap peared very much frightened, and said he did not do it. About 12 yards up the side of the pit, on the Down, I found a cap. There was a quantity of blood on the cap, and likewise the grass there, and a 'small por tion of bone, bloody, lying on the grass close to the cap. There were also several pieces of furze recently cut. There were foot-marks from the cap to where the body was found, and it appeared that the body had been dragged into the pit. On Wednesday morn ing, about eight o'clock, I brought Wm. Sopp's break fast to the lock-up. I staid there while he had it. While there Sopp gave a deep sigh. I said to him, "Sopp, when you went on the Down yesterday morn ing did'nt you see any one going up ?" Sopp said, "No." I said, " Did'ilt you see Smith's little girl near the stile where you got over ?" Sopp said, " No," at first; and in less than a minute be said, " Yes." Sopp then said, "As I was going up the Alley, I saw Rosier's little boy, with some more school boys, going to hedge specking. The other boys ran away, and left little Rosier behind, and I asked him to go on the Down with me to cut furze. We went together. As I was using the bill-book, the bill-hook came out of the handle, and struck the poor little fellow on the head—it knocked him down—he kept rolling about on the ground, and I was afraid that the people would think I tried to do it, and killed him." I then said to Sopp, " With the bill-kook, I suppose that you gave me last night ?" Sopp said, "Yes." I then said, "In what way did you do it with the bill-hook ?" Sopp said, "I cut him on the head with the bill-hook." Sopp also said, "The little boy could not cry, and he did not make any poise." The prisoner said nothing in his defence, and the jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against Wm. Sopp. THE REGISTRATIONS. MIDDLESEX. Mr. Lancelot Shadwell, the barrister appointed to re vise the list of voters for the metropolitan county, held his eighth court yesterday, at the New Globe Tavern, Mile-end-road ; and revised the lists for the parishes and places within the polling district of Mile-end. Mr. Joseph Davies attended on behalf of the Liberal interests. Mr. T. Alley Jones represented the Tories; and Mr. Sidney Smith appeared specially to support the claim of Sir Anthony de Rothchild, Bart., who was ob jected to by the Tories. • In the parish of All Saints, Poplar, Christopher Jas. Ridpatb, who claimed to vote in right of two copyhold cottages, described as Elizabeth-cottages, Carter-street, objected to by the overseers and Mr. Jones. The Revising Barrister said that if it could be shown to him that the property was in .the occupation of one tenant it would give a vote for the borough. The Claimant said that there were two distinct houses, and 'separately would not give him a vote for the borough. They were let at 3s. 6d. a week each, making the annual value below 101., which was still further re duced by his paying the rates and taxes. . The Revising Barrister—There can be no doubt that one of the cottages would be insufficient to confer the franchise for the borough ; but there is no evidence be fore me to show that the property might not give a vote for the borough within the meaning of the act, that is that the two houses might be made into one tenement. Mr. Sidney Smith referred the learned barrister to the 27th section of the act, and contendtd that the claimant was clearly entitled to the vote. The property to become one must be in a different positon 'archltecturally. At present there was a party wall, and until that were re moved, which could not be done without demolishing one of the houses, they were two distinct buildings, there being no means of access to the one from the other. The Revising Barrister, after referring to the 25iit and 27th sections of the act, was of opinion that the cottages were distinct and separate building-, and that, therefore, the claimant was entitled to a vote for the county. The name was aecordingly retained upon the register. CLAIM OF THE BARON DE ROTHSCHILD. In St. Botolph Aldgate, Sir Anthony de Rothschild, Bart., of Grosvenor-place; Hyde-park, claimed to be upon the register in right of a freehold house situate 19, Royal Mint-street. Mr. Jones objected to the claim on the double ground that there was no such place as Royal Mint-street, and that the house claimed for was in the occupation of the claimant's servants, he paying the rent and taxes. Mr. Sidney Smith said that he' attended to support the claim, and handed in the deed, from which it would be seen that there was not the slghteat ground for the objection. The Revising Barrister, after perusing the deed, said that it appeared that what was at present called Royal Mint-street was formerly Rosemary-lane. There could be no doubt as to the value being sufficient, and the claim should be allowed. Mr. Jones was prepared to show that the house •was in the occupation of the claimant's servants, who were foreigners employed at the Royal Mint, and that the claimant paid the rates for it.. Mr. Sidney Smith said that such was not the fact, and called Mr. Reynolds, who said that he was chief clerk to the claimant, and at the same time his tenant. He paid 401. a year out of his salary. Mr. Sidney Smith remarked that this was a common practice. Mr. Jones said that he bad searched the rate boOlc, and found that the claimant for the vote was rated, and not the occupier of the house. He inquired how long Mr. Reynolds had rented the house ? Mr. Reynolds had rented the house for more than three years, ever since the refining was established at the Mint. The Revising Barrister, after perusing the deed, said that it appeared clear that 7001. had been paid for the freehold, and that the claimant received 401. a year rent ; upon these grounds he decided that the claim was made out. The claim was accordingly allowed. • CONSERVATIVE FREEHOLD LAND clams DEFEATED. In the parish of St. Mary, Stratford-la-Bow, the claim of C. L. Gruneisen, Esq., Secretary to the Conservative Freehold Land Society, was objected to by the over seers, on the ground that the claiM was made in respect of property in St. Mary, Stratford•le-Bow ; whereas the qualification was situate in Bethnal-green, being a por tion of the estate of the above society in Stratford-le- Bow. This particular plot was discovered to be in Bethnal-green. The claim was disallowed. Thirty-nine other claimants under the same society were also objected to by Mr. Davies. He was not de sirous of objecting to any man who was really entitled to the franchise ; but he felt it to be due to himself and to those whom he had the honour of representing to see that all these claimants possessed the necessary qualification. Of the present 39 claims he found tbat 23 had not paid up, and this fact had been admitted by Mr. Lewis, ; the solicitor to the association tbat gentleman had also shown that the remai n i ng 16 had paid upwards of 60/, per plot, upon which they claimed. This being the fact, and it having been also stated that the land was unincumbered, he would withdraw his objectiOns to these latter. Upon this showing the names of the par ties not qualified were disallowed, and the rest allowed. Among the claims rejected was that of I. Butt, Esq., Q.C. The name of Robert Major Holborn, sen., was objected to by Mr. Jones. His name was upon the register for a freehold rent-charge on freehold house and land, Park. street, Three Colt-street, granted by John Stuart. The Barrister inquired the ground of objection. Mr. Jones said that his objection was that Mr. Stuart was not the owner of the property ; the claimant was bound to give the name of the owner. The Barrister took a similar view, and expunged the name. In St. Mary, Whitechapel, Wm. Henry Black, of 15, Goodman's-fields, claimed to be upon the re gister in right of a dwelling-house, No. 15, Mill-y ar d, and rent-charge or annuity out of ,No. 16 and three ad joining houses (not numbered) in Mill-yard. Mr. Jones objected on the ground that there was no qualification described ; he did not understand what the life-interest consisted of. If on a rent-charge it was clearly bad, as there was no owner's name given in the fourth column. The claimant produced a decree of the Court of Chan cery, granted in the case of the " Attorney-General v. S:ater," arid stated that the qualifying sum was paid to him as' minister of the congregation 'over which he pre sided.
