The Rates of thils Office, founded on the most accurate ob servat:ons of the duration of human life, are as moderate as is consistent with perfect security. One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the five preceding Years is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders; three-fourths to the former, and one fourth to the latter. The remaining four-fitThs are set apart to enter into the average of the succeeding yea's, and thus to provide against unforeseen co ntingencies. The fi rst di v i sion of profits took place on the 13th of May, 1840 , when a reduction of 60 per cent. was declared on the current annual premiums of all those policies entitled to parti cipation. The second Ltivision of profits was in May, 1841, and the third in 1842, on both of which the large reduction of 60 per cent. was declared.

The following communication relative to the Spanish Treasury Bonds has been received from the Foreign office, by Mr. Tasker, Chairman of the Committee : "Foreign-office, Oct. 19, 1842. " am directed by the Earl of Aberdeen to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 14th inst., containing a further exposition of the grievances to which the British holders of the Spanish Treasury Bonds of 1836 have been subjected by the failure of the Spanish Government to discharge the pecuniary obligations which it had contracted towards them ; and I am to acquaint, you in. reply, that Lord Aber deen has spoken to the Spanish Minister at this Court respecting the case of these Bondholders, and has shown him the papers which accompanied your letter of the 21st ult, ; and that General Sancho has in eoasequeliee promised to address a representation to his Government upon the subject of the claims of this class of Spanish creditors. " I am,. Sir, your most obedient humble servant, " 11. M. ADDINGTON." We are assured, from an authentic source, that, notwithstanding the positive terms in which the in telligence is given, there is not any foundation what ever for the statement which appeared in our paper of yesterday, that Mr. Dowding and Mr. Fennings, Surveyors-General of the Customs, have been sas pended.

CHRONICLE.—The national securities continue firm, being well supported by investments made i n 444 4 4 4 by th e public, We have heard of one puT, chase to-day stated as high as 70,66/. fl - ir money, although it has been named at little more than half that amount in other quarters. There were, however, several purchases made by different brokers through _ in consequence im proved ate - day, and Cons2k have proved i f per cent. The Committee for altering the hours of 'Change met to-day, and finally resolved on giving official no tificatiou the noy regulation. We understandithat the delay complained 'or rggga i ll the deliver of foreign bills, an d • bills left for acceptance, was not oYerlooked, and th a t th e l e ading capitalists have, with their usual eonsidapation, expressed • their wish to. ob viate all reas ona bl e o bj ect i ons In regard to these mat ters. Foreign bills will .now be delivered not later than four r.m. (a saving of fwo hours complete), and we doubt not that bills of exchange left for acceptance viii ah....q be delivered earlier than they have been for some time past. There is really n othing unreason able int this request, weree arest,an r d ec w ei e ved with gra a due desire totified to learn that our suggestions remedy the complaints which had been made to us. It is understood that the improvement suggested in the hour of beginning the produce sales by Mr. Cook will be followed up, and that, in fact, an en tire hour may be gained in all descriptions of mercan tile business in the klty, The reform will be com prehensive, and will, in effect, put business forward one hour at least. Were this not to be done, the al teration in the hours of 'Change would soon become nugatory; and matters would relapse back to the old lazy plan, so that the merchants would be employed at " huh^ and seek " in th e d ar k , d ur i n g the greater part of their attend ance oh ?C hapg,e hosipess in winter. The movement now mad e ,t o b e permanen tly use f u l, s h ou ld be general ; and the alacrity w ith which the new sys tern was adopted by the mercantile interests,as exhi bited by their voluntary assemblage in such unusual numbers on 'Change at three o'clock, before the pub principle is g enera ll y lication of the offi c i a l not i ce, proves di st i nct l y t h at t h e approved. The public officers in the Excise and Cu s t oms must com ply w ith th e ge ral wish, arid rem ove t h e objeptions that h ave b een stated against the improved system on the groundthat they do not appear in sufficient time to enable the merchants and traders to adopt it, without subjecting themselves to inconvenience or even loss. The infe rior functionaries must be in attendance at the bonded warehouses, and bonded timber-yards much sooner than they have been of late, and must be given to un derstanct that they are Servants of the public, instead of acting as if they were the masters, and the public little better than their slaves. The superior officers will, no doubt, see that all just complaints are set at rest. THE NEW ROYAL STABLES AND RIDING HOUSE AT WINDSOR. These extensive and most substantially erected buildings for defrayin g th e expense o f w hi c h Parlia ment voted the sum of 70,0001., shortly after her Ma jesty's accession to the throne, have just been com pleted (the sum expended having been brought within the amount of the Parliamentary grant) ac cording to the original designs of the late Sir Jeffrey Wyatville, under the immediate superintendence of Mr. Ashton, the late Sir Jeffrey's successor. As in the course of a very few days they will be given up to the Earl of Jersey, the 'Master of the Horse, for occupation, an d th e h orses an d carr i ages of her Majesty transferred to them from the upper and lower mews, at Windsor, and the chief of P r i nce Al bert's horses f r o m Cumberland Lodge in the Great park, the following description of the new stables and riding house (which, in each of their vast internal ar rangements are most admirably adapted for all the purposes for which they will be required), cannot fail to interest our readers; the more especially, when it is known that the miserable and inconvenient sheds into which the Royal horses and carriages have for years past been " poked," are of such a confined and meanly constructed character as to have excited the surprise of all who have seen them, that the Sovereign of England should have been, for so long a time, so wretchedly provided with stabling and carriage houses at Windsor. The buildings (the architectural style of which is in perfect keeping with that of the castle) are on the south side of, and about 150 yards from the Royal residence. The whole frontage towards the Home Park extends to upwards of 300 feet. The stabling and coachhouse department occupies three large quadrangles, quite distinct from each other (being divided by high stone walls), each quadrangle, which we will now describe, being perfect in itself. We will commence with the UPPER OR NORTH QUADRANGLE. This portion of the Royal stabling (which is situated the nearest to the Castle) is to be entirely appropriated for the saddle horses and ponies of her Majesty. It contains fivo distinct stables for thirty eight hams, via., one with tw e l ve s t a ll s , th ree w i t h six stalls each, and one with eight stalls. It likewise contains standing room for twelve carriages, in two portions (six in each) of the square. THE CENTRE QUADRANGLE, has been considerably altered, by being cased and stuccoed to resemble stone, and rendered in keeping externall y with the general ch arac t er of the new stables. It has also been much enlarged by the addi tion of several rooms. It now contains fifty-four rooms, and will be converted, under most excellent arrangements made by Mr. Cocum, the clerk of her Majesty's stables, to the exclusive use of the married servants in the department of the Master of the Horse. It contains also two large eating or mess rooms, with extensive ranges for cooking, and two other large sized rooms, with coppers also for the purposes of cooking, with upwards of thirty separate cupboards (all the servants in this department having board wages), each having a lock and key, for„ the use of each domestic.

THE EAGLE TAVERN.—On the application of Mr. Rouse, of the Eagle Tavern, City-road, to have his license for music and dramatic entertainments re newed, a memorial, signed " James Hudson," ;was put in and read. It set forth the opinion of the memo rialist as to the immoral effects of such places of en tertainment, and prayed that the license should not be renewed. The memorialist being called to sustain the allegations, did not appear. Mr. BODKIN (with whom was Mr. CLARKSON), on the part of Mr. Rouse, submitted that the Court could not entertain the memorial, which was thus abandoned by the memorialist himself. The Conar, after same discussion and a division, decided that th e memor i a l s h ou ld b e laid on the table. Mr. CLARKSON then, at great length, addressed the Bench, in support of the renewal, and presented and praying for the continuance of the license. Mr. Rouse had expended several thousand pounds upon' the improvements of the premises ; and, at a cost of upwards of 1,0001. a-year, he had complied with the suggestions made to him by that Bench some years ago. Since the first establishment of these enter tainments, there had not been a single police com plaint arising from any occurrence of any kind upon the premises. If the license were withdrawn, between thirty and forty persons would be thrown out of em ployment in the musical department alone. Mr. WiLas (late M.P.), as a Magistrate, gave his opinion against the renewal, and addressed the Bench at great length upon the horrible immorality prevail. ing in the metropolis, which he ascribed mainly to music licences. The CHAIRMAN trusted that the Court would per mit him to address a few observations to them upon that occasion. —(Hear, hear.) He was anxious to do so, for the purpose of setting right an impression which was abroad with regard to his opinion on the subjeot then under consideration. He had in certain quarters been misrepresented, and he wished that his opinion should not go forth to the public in a way calculated to bear more than the real interpretation— that interpretation which alone he desired it should clearly convey.—(Hear, hear.) It had been said by some persons, amongst other parts of the misrepresen tation of his opinion, that he was the patron of these musical licenses. Allow him, then, to expl a i n th e views he entert a i ne d w ith reference to them. It appeared to him that the real evil with regard to them was far more deeply rooted than that Court could reach. In anticipation of the present discussion, he had looked through the Act of Par liament, under the provisions of which that Court had been in the habit for a long series of years of granting musical licenses to the proprietors of taverns and tea-gardens in the vicinity of the metropolis, and no one, on perusing it, could do other than see that it had been framed in the most hasty manner. The Act was passed about 90 years ago, but happily under circumstances of a different nature to any that existed in the present day, to meet and correct some para.. . cular evils which had arisen from the then political state of the country, by patting a stop to the Jacobi nical meetings which were at that time being held in the various taverns. When they lOoked at the district which was comprised in this Act, they could not fail in at once seeing its absurdity. The Act comprised a district extending 26 miles from London—a distance which, 90 years since, was doubt less a day's journey from the metropolis; but, in 1842, it was perfect nonsense to conceive that such an Act could be made effectively available. Could anything be more absurd than that at Reigate, in Surrey, a small town, a man could not have music an d d anc i ng in his hous e w ith ou t a license; whilst in the largest manufacturing towns in the kingdom, Manchester and Birmingham; such things could exist without any re striction ? Beyond this, too, the Act was still more absurd; for, whilst it gave the Magistrates authority to grant these licenses, it failed in extending to them the power of interfering in cases of misconduct. (Hear, hear.) Neither had the police any power to interfere in the event of an improper use being made of the privilege. The Magistrates had no power under the Act to see that the regulations were properly carried out. As applicable to the present day, the only stringent points would seem to be that the proprietors of houses having these licenses should not commence their per formances before five o'clock in the afternoon, and that they must cause a notice of such license to be painted up over their doors. One of the main fea tures of the enactment had been, that all persons who were caught in these houses were to be treated as rogues and vagabonds, and taken up and punished accordingly.—(Hear, hear.) But this latter part of the statute had been repealed, so that in fact there was no power of punishment in the Justices except that of •a refusal to renew the license on the ensuing application. It was notorious, too, that there were some houses which had been kept open without any license. It had been well said by George 111., that he hoped the day would come when every one of his subjects would be able to read his Bible. No person could more cordially join in that sentiment than him self; but it . should be borne in mind, that whilst they gave every one the means of reading the Bible, they at the same time gave them the means of reading other works.—(Hear.) The result of this was, that the great mass o mi f no t t er h e e l ie p nc e tt o eu p l allelec in nu h a ft d ml d e s om e more intellec in imrizeanitddemlloercetuali c tua l l m nation,ore intel lectual in the nature and character of their pursuits.— (Hear, hear.) The people, then, having become more intellectual, it became the duty of those who had the means of doing so to p_rovide them with some intellec tual amusements.—(Hear, hear.) If such amuse ments were not thrown open to them the Court might rely upon it that the people would seek and find them for themselves.—(Hear, hear.) The old system of sitting and setting in a public-house was, thank God, happily being abandoned by the lower orders of society, and rational and intellectual entertainments must, therefore, be provided for them.—(Hear, hear.) The, great evil was, that there was no Act of Parliament authorising the opening of proper places only for the performance of music, except that which compelled the Magistrates, on regular application being made to them by respectable parties, to grant these licemes to —4liPeaarrii)amenl\t' — ha an t A they ct t w a a v n er te n d s was and a pu i b n. l o ic p - e h r ou A se e s t . suited to the exigencies of the day.—(Hear, hear.)

He derived much delight upon one or two occasions in having witnessed the vast multi tudes who had flocked to the Musard Concerts at th e theatres. The crowds he had seen there had fill e d him with wonder, but not more so than had the ex cellent conduct of mass who were present. But this was one of the admirable results of education.— (Hear, hear.) All, therefore, they had to do was to find places where the large masses of the intellectual inhabitants of the country could be accommodated with a view to their rational and moral edification and amusement.—(Hear, hear.)

It is divided into four distinct stables, to accommodate twenty-five horses, viz., one with seven stalls, one with ten stalls, and two with four stalls each. It likewise contains three loose boxes (most admirably contrived) with saddle and cleaning rooms, and appropriate offices. There are no carriage houses in this division of the Royal stabling. • POST.—The failure of two commercial houses, one in this city, the other at Liverpool, both of them being firms of some standing, was generally spoken of dining the afternoon. The well-known and much respected firm of Evans, Fostwr, and Langton, of Brrge-yard,.which was particularly in the Ceylon trade, has been under the of late years interested more house, Messrs. Gordon and Oreenwhale, is known as payment. The Liverpool necessity of suspendi ng having been sometime identified with the commerce of the River Plate, and its credit stood well up to a very recent period. _ _ It seems that the holders of Goldsmid's Portuguese loan are not satisfied with the mode of adjustment tendered for their acceptance by the Brazilian Go vernment. Mention is made in a morning paper of to discuss the merits of the proposition, a meeting having wh b l e e e h n e h n e d l e d d in its rejection.

Gene b ral l it 52 THE LOWER QUADRANGLE. Is intended for the carriage horses of her Majesty, and such portions of th e Queen's ponies and saddle horses as cannot be accommodated in the upper quadrangle. The stabling is divided into six division s , viz., two stables fir ten horses, one for eight horses, one for three horses, and two for four horses each, making together ample room for thirty-nine horses. The coach-houses consist of three, each of which con tains standing room for eight carriages. Attached to this quadrangle arc likewise ten loose boxes and a brealt-house, and contiguous to them is also, most conveniently constructed, the forge of the veterinary surgeon to her Majesty, Mr. Goodwin, who is also the inspector of the Queen's stables. Accommodation is thus afforded, In the aggregate, for 10J horses (exciusive of thirteen loose boxes) and thirty-six carriages. GENERAL DESCRIPTION. In the angles of each quadrangle are extensive forage lofts, constructed with every regard to convenience. Esoh quadrangle contains extensive saddle and harness-rooms, cleaning-rooms, and other appropriate and necessary offices, with water laid on throughout, large coppers for heating water, extensive dung-pits, and other appurtenances. The harness-rooms, which are heated by stoves, are about twenty feet square. The cleaning rooms are of triflingly larger dimensions. The coach-houses, which are very lofty, are heated by means of hot air. Some idea may be formed of their dimensions when it is stated that the extent of room appropriated for eaoh carriage is eight feet in width and twenty feet in length. The pony stalls, the fences of which are extremely massive, and constructed of highly-polished oak, are thirteen feet long and six feet wide. The stalls (the same materials being used for the fencing throughout the stabling department) for the carriage and riding horses are a little larger, The fronts of the mangers, and also the wall at their backs, extending four feet in height to the top of the hay racks, are of slate. The front upper edges of the mangers consist of a revolving cast-iron roller, about three inches in diameter, extending their whole length, thus offering an insuperable bar to the exer cise of the tricks of crib-biters, An apparatus ibr heating water for the use of' the men, and for warming the coach-houses, &c., is at tached to each quadrangle, and situated in the base ment, with pipes communicating to every part of the buildings where it will be required. The width of each stable, from the back of the manger to the opposite wall, is 22 feet; thus allowing plenty of space for the men behind the heels of the horses. Each of the stables, which are ventilated by means of an admirable contrivance, through an aperture leading to the roof (and which can be opened or closed at pleasure, will be lighted, at night, by gas. The whole of the flooring is composed of Dutch clinkers, imported expressly from Holland for the purpose. An interminable supply of water, by the means of pipes laid on from the large reservoirs at the Castle, which is forced up by the Royal engine, from the Thames, in Datchet-lane, will be obtained in every portion of the Royal stables, cleaning-rooms, &c. In the centre of each stall are iron gratings, com municating with cross drains which run into the heel drains, under the flooring of Dutch clinkers, and through these, by merely turning a tap at the upper end of the stable, a strong course of water is forced, cleaning every accumulation away from the under drains into the common sewer to the river. Each stable is conveniently fitted up with corn bins of oak, and, indeed, with every convenience that skill and experience could suggest to the several persons engaged in the erection of this immense pile of building. It may be here observed that, from the admirable and convenient style of the whole of the arrange ments, and the beautiful economy which prevails in every department, the new Royal stables may be re garded as perfect models of stable architecture. THE NEW RIDING SCHOOL. The new riding school, as it has been before ob served, divides the upper or northern quadrangle from the centre one. This spacious building (so con veniently situated for her Majesty and the Prince to take equestrian exercise in unfavourable weather, as well as for other purposes connected with the Royal menage) is 170 feet in length, 52 feet in width, and nearly 40 feet in height. It is well lighted by means of its numerous windows during the day, and at night three splendid gas chandeliers along the centre of the building diffuse a clear and steady light through out the interior. The riding house is approached from the Home Park, through a vestibule from the grand entrance, which leads directly into the vast area. Over the vestibule are her Majesty's gallery and retiring room. which are reached by a spiral staircase through the northern square tower at the Royal entrance ; a corresponding tower being on the south side of the archway. Her 11Iajesty's gallery commands, by means of large sash windows of plate glass a full view of the whole of the interior of the riding school. The shape of the room is semi-hexagonal. The furniture (con sisting of four chairs and two arms, covered with rich crimson velvet, an octagonal-shaped table, splendid looking glasses &c.) is of oak, elaborately carved in the Gothic style. The fawn-coloured tabaret curtains, with carpet and rugs en suite, give to this apartment a most pleasing appearance. The eastern window commands a most picturesque view of part of the Castle and the Home Park. Adjoining her Majesty's gallery is a retiring room for the Sovereign, similarly furnished. Beneath the Queen's retiring room, on the ground floor, under the south tower, is a neatly urnished apartment for the equerries in attendance upon her Majesty. Over the riding-school are most convenient dormi tories for the use of the single men connected with the stables. These consist of thirty apartments • and each is comfortably furni shed b y the Master of the Horse with the usual bedding, a chest of drawers, chairs, table, washhand-stand, .carpet, &c. Every man will have his room exclusively to himself. TIIE LOWER LODGE, which was formerly inhabited by several of the Royal pages (and which is with i n the walls inelosing the various buildings connected with the Royal stables), DIS ItaTS. ,gton,St.George SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—Peel's perpetual blister—for by this and ninny other similarly expressive designations are the nature and properties of the Income-tax described—is producing the - effects upon the body-politic which it was predicted it would pro duce when the State Physician prescribed its application to the already-prostrated energies of an impoverished people. In the denun ciations poured forth against the villanous impost, its authors and agents are - in cluded. The Government which proposed:--the Parliament which passedtheCommissioners who administkr—and the CollectorS who demand and enforcepa, ment of the tax, are included. What with schedules unintelligible from the clumsy and contradictory directions required to be fol lowed; the surcharges which insolence or male volence suggest as convenient modes of indulging the one or of gratifying the other---the vexatious inquisition made into the most secret business transactions and disposition of family property, which must be unveiled, as the only means of exemption from injurious imposition—these fertile sources of public disquietude are work. ing their predicted results. All this is added to the positive exaction of the - three per - Cent. upon precarious and. frequently inade. quate incomes ; the actual stoppage of the tax upon the receipt of dividends and public salaries, however small in amount, leaving the parties to the alternative of enduring the first loss as the least of two evils, rather than be sub jected to the trouble of appeal by a process al. most unintelligible, and at a cost or time and trouble which the aged and infirm are physically incompetent to uhdertalte ; the timid shrink from incurring; and those whose time is of any value are 'Prevented by other engagements from making the at,temptl When the organs of the Government are impelled to denounce the lead ing measures of the Government in terms of un equivocal and bold gondemnation, little is left for the journals of oppositiop bq to quote their articles. Such testimony is ti4expotipßOle because it is free from that party bias which lead opponents to view the policy of the Govern ment with prejudice ; to distort its views, and misrepresent its conduct. When avowed friends are compelled to admit that imbecility and in , justice characterise the leadinct riwasgres of the iVinistry, their testimony may not only lie me tarred to js pertinent, but be relied upon as true. The very reluctance with whi c h it i s given, f i r of the injury it must upoiintlkt the a"n Go v s i t i rment, is g. guntintee of its integrity, dad consequently a passport to ft,7, reception. STANDARD.—Without desiring to detract , from the credit that is due to Lord Palmerston for the services he has rendered to the. anti slavery cause, we may be permitted to express our disapproval of the kind of address which has just been presented to his Lordship by the Fo reign Anti-Slavery Society, and our dissent from some of the opinions it conveys. We shall Tint dwell on the inflated style of this document, nor on the undue prominence given to Lord Pal merston over other equally_ zealous abolitionists. We cannot, h o w eve r, b u t deprecate all attempts to dictate to her Majesty's Government, by a bide wind like this, what measures it is incumbent on it t 3 take in reference to this question. If it please this or any other budy of gentlemen to present ccwplimentary addresses to usei:ll4o of the former Ministry, well and good; but let them avoid meddling with 'natters with which they can have nothing whatevee to do, and in which it is foreign to their province to interfcre; and not convert an address to Lord Palmerston in to an excuse for improperly dictating to his successors what Consuls they shall employ in slavery dealing States. Were Lord Aberdeen disposed to listen to, and act upon, nog. gestions from such quarters, we might find our selves, ere long, at war with half the world. And whilst denunciations of states with which we are on terms of amity in documento of this description can be of no possible service to the Cause which the subscribers profess to have at heart, they are calculated to perplex and embar rass the exertions which are making in its behalf, It is very safe doctrine for an ex-Minister to affirm that " England should not mind whe ther she gives offence or not;" but those on whom has devolved the task of unravelling the lissueof difficulty and perplexity which has been bequeathed to them by his Lordship and his colleagues, must have arrived at the conviction that our rashness and Quixotism have,lnvolved us in too many quarrels already, to.make, it de sirable that we should increase the number, however specious the pretext for so doing. MONEY MARKET and CITY NE WS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. TIMES.—The English funds have exhibited a good deal of activity to-day, and prices in general have advanced. The symptoms of a rise for the last two days have shown themselves, but now they ap pear in the most evident manner. Purchases for the public increased to-day, and the result of this is the improvement of Consols for Money to 9.” to and for the Account to 93 to The market for the Reduced Stocks is supposed to have been favourably influenced by the conclusion of a large bargain en tered into a few days ago, which now, by the delivery of stock increasing the scarcity, has sent up quotations to the point at present held. Our letters from Amsterdam state that the Royal Speech has not given much satisfaction, and that its operation on . the Dutch funds has been rather unfa vourable. It had been generally expected that it would announce the conclusion of financial arrange ments between Holland and Belgium ; and conse quently, -as King said no more than that the signa tureq the of the treaty would probably take place within a few days, the public was naturally disappointed. The treaty itself, according to the information contained in our letters, does not refer to a capitalization of the part of the debt due by Belgium, the sole object being to establish the amount of that part, after deducting what Belgium claims from Holland. That country would have at its charge a certain portion of Two and-a-Half, Three-and-a-Half; and Four-and-a-Half per Cents., the Five per Cents. not having been created till after the separation. A Correspondent who, in the extent of his know ledge of banking affairs, probably represents a large portion of the public, asks, in reference to the late expose of the Bank of Manchester, whether the loss of the capital is in such cases borne by the depo sitors, or among the shareholders only. The answer is, that so far as the capital goes, or the effect of legal proceedings can be brought to bear upon them, • the shareholders alone are the sufferers ; but instances have occurred, in which, after exhausting these re sources, assets could not be found to meet the claims of the depositors and other creditors, who have con sequently become partakers of the general loss, though not to the same extent as the shareholders, who in such cases lose everything. It should be stated, however, in the case of the Bank of Manches ter, that it has not stopped paym e nt. Deposit o r s con tinue to be paid as usual, and from the statements cir culated, can be in no sort of jeopardy. The share holders arc coolly apprised of a loss, in round numbers, of 800,0001., and of a further claim upon them in the shape of calls to make good deficiencies, and there, with respect to them, the matter ends. The concern, of course, will be brought to a close, and its affairs wound up as soon as possible. It is one of the boasted advantages of the joint stock system, as opposed to private banking, that the public in general—that is, the depositors with them—. are secured almost against the possibility of any loss : but as the purchasers of sh ares i n banking companies also form a part of the public, equally entitled to pro tection, it really seems that the losses and plunder they are liable to in the management of Joint stock Companies form as solid an objection to the one plan as the losses of depositors by the failures of private bankers do to the other plan of banking. The Legis lature, in a superintendence for the general good, must at least look at the qu es ti on i n t hi s point of view! There is this disadvantage, moreover, on the side of the Shareholders in joint-stock banks, that they are unable to protect themselves in case of danger, since the shares, on any doubt spread of the solidity of the bank, become instantly unsaleable, and they are com pelled to await the issue. In the instance of a private bank, the depositor, especially if he has a quick ob servation of what is passing around him, often takes the alarm in time, and saves his property, and seldom fails after all to secure a good dividend out of the wreck. We do not intend to speak of this as an evil to be treated lightly, but the waste of large sums by fraudulent or imprudent banking must always inflict suffering somewhere, and if the whole truth could be arrived at, it would probably be found that as m uc h injury has been and will lae inflicted under one system I as under the other.

The cotton glove branch, which is principally car ried on in the villages, is also in a very depressed state, which has a gloomy appearance for the winter. We believe there is some slight improvement in the demand for inferior wrought cotton hosiery, such as are made in the vicinity of Mansfield, being be tween wrought hose and cut-ups. The fancy cotton hose branch, especially of the finer kinds, is in the most healthy state of any branch of the cotton and silk hosiery manufactures; but even in that branch there are many exceptions. The drawer and pantaloon trade is much in the same low state that it has been in for months past, the hands being but very scantily employed, encumbered with heavy charges for frame rent, &c. It is consi dered by some, that the hosiers have, for the present, missed a rare chance, in,not following up with vigour Prince Albert's sug-gestion of making pantaloon hose, which he set the e:•.:ample of wearing; had they made the drawers and the hose separate, introducing the India rubber welt at the knees of both, there is little doubt but the fashion would have become general, in which case the present frames could not have supplied the demand. Pantaloon hose were generally worn in the latter end of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, and during the reign of James 1., and they are still con tinued for coronation dresses. It is generally consi dered the handsomest of all fashions to show a fine form, but was discontinued on account of the diffi culty of putting them on and off, which would be obviated by making them in two parts. Previous to the introduction of India rubber, this could scarcely have been effected, but row nothing can be more simple, as the form may be equally shown, and the pantaloon be scarcely seen to be divided ; this may be done either at the knee or at the ancle. The bobbin net trade seems yet in the same state that it has been in for some months past, the plain net branch being in a most depressed state • one factory in the tow n th a t contained seventy machines has only twenty-three at. work. The fancy trade is in a better condition, and though there is a slackness, still we believe most of the nets produced are, though with some difficulty, disposed of at fair \ prices. The Jac quard nets, however, are in general in good demand, many of the patterns being exquisite. A very im portant Act of Parliament (the .sth and 6th Victoria, cap. 100) came into operation on the Ist September last. • By this law, any person who has invented or made any new pattern in the hosiery or lace manu factures, can have such pattern registered, upon the payment of a small sum, for twelve calendar months. Any person applying any such design or pattern, or fraudulent imitation thereof, for the purpose of sale, or who shall sell or expose for sale, any such regis tered pattern, or any fraudulent imitation thereof; is liable to a penalty of not more than 301., nor less than 51., with costs, which penalty may be recovered be fore two Justices, or by an action of debt, or on the case, the whole of which penalty goes to the party injured; there is no appeal fron the conviction.— Nottinglarn Review. LETTERS OF MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS.—Perhaps no Queen ever lived whose character and actions have excited more interest, and interest of a more varied and opposite nature, than those of Mary, Queen of Scots. .No two people think and feel alike about her ; and no doubt a chief reason for this is the little that has hitherto been made public proceeding directly from her own pen or her own lips. The present pub lication by Miss Agnes Strickland of a large number of inedited letters of Mary, collected from the Royal Library and national archives of Paris, will greatly modify the views hitherto entertained of the unfortu nate Queen, and they will, upon the whole, raise her character in general estimation, both in a moral and an intellectual point of view. Many of the letters are of high historical importance and most o f th em pos sess a personal interest which no other species of composition but letters can attain. The publication. will doubtless be eagerly sought for by almost all classes of readers. TIIE NENY NOVEL, EDITED BY THE AUTHOR OF "THE SUBALTERN. "—Thi s new work of fiction be longs, as we understand, to that school which has lately been rapidly advancing in public favour, and. which promises soon to throw into the shade it., " fashionable" rivals on the one hand, and its " senti mental" ones on the other—the school of Real Life, in the true and domestic sense of the phrase. The author's first production, " The Only Daughter" (which also appeared under the editorial auspices of the popular author of " The Subaltern"), fully esta blished her claims to public attention, and the present novel, entitled " S e lf D evotion ; or, the History o: Katharine Randolph," is said greatly to exceed in va riety and depth of interest the high promises held out by that work. Its chief charm is understood to lie in the strong and sustained interest of its plot, which, while it aims and verges on the deeply tragic excite ment of the elder dramatist, never departs from the actual life of our own day. DEAF AND DUMB.—In the London Medical Gazette we find an interesting communication from Mr. Curtis on the treatment of the deaf and dumb, in which he advocates the opinion that a cure may be effected in a large number of cases by proper treatment. He agrees with Itard, that nothing can be done where structural defect exists, but many instances are caused after birth by accidents, fevers, measles, teething, &c., a considerable proportion• of which may be relieved. The tables of M. Schmalz, of Dresden, show , that of 5,425 cases of deaf and dumbness, 3,665 werec ir o t n h : genital, the remaining 1 , 760 occuring after birth, from from one or other of the causes first named. These, unfortunately, are all confounded together, and the sufferers made the subjects of a course of symbolical education, when they should have been submitted to a well-directed medical treatment. Cases of this kind were seen by Mr. Curtis at Berlin, Vienna, Haniburgb, and Leipsic. Dr. Bohn and M. Saegert, of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum at Berlin, to whom he communicated his ideas on the curative measures to be adopted, have promised to make a trial thereof in their Institution. As far back as 1817 an attempt was made by Mr. Curtis to introduce his_plani'nto the Asylum in the Kent-road, b u t he unfortuately failed. lie is convinced, however, that the time is ack app no w roaching when th e t rut h of his opinion will be ledged. FEAUD.—A new species of artifice has to our knowled- , e, just come against which we feel it our duty to put the public on their guard. It is well known that Messrs. Rowl an d labours and highly su and Sons have, by a series of in discovering and ceessful experiments, succeeded which have osbtaomin. preparing for the toilet articles eu a universal reputation all over the world. vile and unprincipled imitators, destitute alike of b e onour and of talent, have conceived the flo r a • • ' nous idea of fabricating articles, so closely resembling those of Messrs. Rowland as to require a somewhat careful observation to detect the differ ence. The objects consist of some pernicious and in jurious compound, which is offered to the public under the name of Real Macassar Oil for the Hair, or Kalydor for the Complexion, articles which, as prepared 'by Messrs. Rowland, are universally pre ferred and esteemed. The only mode for the pur chaser to avoid the imposition, and escape the baneful effects which their vile counterfeits will infalliby pro duce, is to inspect, with great care, the :bottles and labels, and to ascertain that they bear the actual sig nature of Messrs. Rowland and Son. No others are genuine. Rom) SHOOTING.-There is a man, residing in Norwich, who regularly goes out early in the morn ing and late in the evening, for the purpose of shoot ing game from the roads when out to feed. He is usually accompanied by one or two others. He takes a game license, we are told. He is now become an object of constant vigilance, and there can doubt of his speedy detection in this predatory method of sporting.be little We believe he has been before the Ma gistrates, but has hitherto escaped the fines and Anoth er enacted against this mode of trespass. such marauder is often seen upon the Hingham roa d ,r from whi c h ne i g hb our h oo d h e is said to come.—Nor '! wick Mercury. - from the Learned Counsel who appeared for Mr. Rouse, he should feel himself not justified in voting against the ieaewal of the license; hut, entertaining the opinion he did upon the question generally, he could not record his vote in favour of the application. After a few remarks from Mr. M'WILLIAM and Sir J. S. LILLIE, Mr. Sergeant lIALCOMBE bore his personal testi mony to the admirable manner in which the Eagle establishment was conducted. The question was then put, when the license was granted by a majority of 22 to 2. Mr. THOMAS appeared to support a petition from William Lovett, Richard Moore, Henry Hethering ton, and Benjamin Huggett, jun., praying for a dancing and music licence, for No. 242 A, High Holborn. The Deputy-Clerk of the Peace, having read the petition in the usual manner, said that he had recei ve d a memorial, a dd resse d to the Court, against the grant ing of such license from the Vestry of the joint pa rishes of St. Giles-in-the-fields, and St. George, Bloomsbury. The memorial was read, and after some remarks from Mr. Thomas, in favour of the petition, and from Mr. Adolphus, against it, the licence was re fused by a large majority, four hands only being held up in its favour. The COURT then renewed all the licenses granted last year except one, and having awarded a similar privilege to the Queen's Arms Tavern, Edgware road, adjourned at a late hour. / e
