C _ The sound principles up on w hi c h the system of Joint-Stock I Banking is based, and the benefits which its practical appli- e . : I cation have conferred upon th e p u bli c , are n ow universally n admitted. Banking Companies, with large subscribed an I I Daid-capitals, and protected by the responsibility of nume- C rout; parters, have been long in profitable operation in every 1 • i Part of the kingdo m . I n th e Cit y o f L on d on th ere are s i x F ' I Joint Stock Banks ; and so great is the confidence of the v DU lie in the soundness of those establishments that their q Deposits amount to more than Thirty Millions sterling. The a : I market value of their Shares ranges from f)5 to upwards of it 100 per cent, premium upon the amount paid; and is founded Pon the large dividends they have declared, which, at pre lent (in addition to very ample reserve funds), average up wards of 15 per cent. per annum, inclusive of bonuses. It is a remarkable fact that, with the experience of the , solidity and usefulness of these institutions, no Independent I ~ Joint -Stock Bank exists in the Western part of the Metropo- F , . US, notwithstanding the increased demand for banking ac- I commodation and the rapid growth of the population. The f /I Branches of the City Banks are, no doubt, important auxili- C aries ; but, being controlled by instructions from the parent d 1 office, their Managers necessarily exercise a limited discrection. o The " Western Bank of London" will afford to the West of o , the Metropolis all the benefits which are derived by parties 'I Who transact their banking business directly with an indepen- ) dent institution. It will have at the West-end its Board of Di- ' rectors, its discount and other Committees, who will adapt their system of management - to the wants of the various classes of its customers. It will open current accounts ; re ceive deposits at agreed-upon rates of interest ; discount °ills ; make advances upon approved securities; undertake at moderate charges the agency of persons resident abroad ; v - receive dividends upon stocks, public or private ; collect and t ransmit pays, pensions, and annuities ; and generally carry on all the legitimate operations of banking. I The financial position of Joint Stock Backs (unlike hat of ' Private partnerships) i published at the yearly and half- t pearly meetings of their Proprietors, when a balance-sheet, verified by two auditors appointed by that body, is submitted ' to the scrutiny, not only of the Proprietors, but of the pu , die. : The Shares in the London Joint Stock Banks (including those recently incorporated) are almost the only deseriptiA of security which has undergone no depreciation duri:d: the war ; they have, on the contrary, steadily advauce;:t in value. The subjoined table, extracted from puh',.te documents, furnishes unequivocal evidence of the advrAltag es which ori ginal Propri e t ors may secure by the investment of capital in Joint Stock Bank s . —.--.. f f ., g .6 e' •.

The Chalmers and Wideawake sailing transports went into Portsmouth harbour from Spithea,d yesterday to discharge fittitgs, and be paid out of the service. The Bucephalus transport, lying off the Arsenal wharf at Woolwich, yesterday broke from ber moorings, in consequence of the heavy weather in the river, and carried away the bowsprit of the gun-boat Dove, but without effecting any other damage. A heavily-laden barge was blown under the piles of the newly-erected pier and sunk. Five 68• pounder guns, weighing 95 cwt. each, were yesterday shipped, with their carriages, on board the Little Ben, one of the Ordnance schooners, at Woolwich, for the purpose of being conveyed to Sheerness. These guns complete the requisite number of 14, which con stitute the equipment of the floating battery Thunder. The following warrant has been sent to officers com manding regiments, the object of it being to grant to re cruits of the army a kit on joining the service : VICTORIA R. "Whereas, under our regulations and orders for the army, it is prescribed that a recruit, upon being finally approved, shall receive as bounty a sum of money in cash and necessaries ; and whereas it has been repre sented to us that it will be expedient that the recruit should receive his bounty in cash, and should on final approval be supplied with necessaries at the public ex pense ; our will and pleasure is, that on and after the 31st day of January, 196, all recruits enlisting in our army shall receive gratuitously a stock of necessaries from the stores of the Director-General of Army Cloth ing, which shall be kept up by the soldier at his own ex pense, under the present or such other regulations as may be determined upon by one of our principal Secre taries of State and our Commander-in-Chier. "The articles to be supplied to every soldier who enters our army are detailed in the enclosed statement, which comprises every article lef necessaries required for soldiers of all branches of our army. " Given at our Conrt at St. Jaines's this 22d day of January, 1856, in the 19th year of our reign. "By her Majesty's command. " PANMIIRE." The warrant then enumerates the articles of neces saries allowed for Artillery, Sappers and Miners, Heavy and Light Cavalry, the Guards, regiments of the Line not being Highland regiments, Cape Mounted Riflemen, and. lastly, Highland regiments. In consequence of this Royal warrant the Field- Marshal Commanding-in-Chief has issued the following circular : Ilorse.Guards, Jan. 24. "The Field-Marshal Commanding-in-Chief, with the sanction of the Secretary of State for War, is pleased to direct that that part of the bounty for recruits which re lates to stoppages for the supply of necessaries, on final approval, shall be abolished, and that the recruit shall hereafter be entitled to receive in money the actual sum specified as bounty. " It is also intended to supply him with a complete kit at the public expense. "Under this arrangement it becomes necessary to equalise the bounty. Although the cavalry and artil lery recruits received a higher rate , the apparent dif ference was absorbed in the cost of a dditional articles of a eg rt tl ic iP le 3 s l "During Z tte oar the scale of bount y for cavalry, e vn n _7 n t r f u e q t u u r i e r e b d e b f y u r t n h i e s h i e nfa db n y t infantry e s o G I d o i v e e r r . n ra T e h n o t se . pill be as follows—viz . • artillery. fted infantry , Le 5 0 On attesting ..........

This now distribution of a soldier's bounty will enable him to remit a liberal sum to his family, or to d e posit money in the savings'-bank, to facilitate which the Secretary of State for War will cause ample instruc tions to be given ; and the Field-Marshal Commanding in-Chief is confident that the recruits will take advantage of the opportunity to benefit themselves by providing for the future, or of affording that temporary assistance to their parents which many of them have already shown an earnest desire to do. "Volunteers from the embodied Militia, on extending their services to the line, will receive 1/. on being at• tested ; and as they are considered fit for duty a further sum of 51, on final approval will be allowed them, making in all a bounty of 61., and kit complete.

Instructions have been received at the Royal Marine Barracks, at Woolwich, announcing that in future in structors of heavy gun exercises are to be placed on the same footing as those of the rile practice.

' Aft,iii‘ iipistent•EFpons Jeo._AdViV ickili -~- Spirit of the Public Journals, (Front the Morning Herald of this day.) We are perfectly satisfied that a large majority even in the present House of Commons---it still more overwhelming majority in the nation, wine estly desire that the war with Russia shoitict b e carried on until we obtain adequate security a ga i ns t the resumption of those attempts which, have plunged Europe into the perils of war. Peace m a d e without those securities will be both disastrous end disgraceful. This we believe to be the settled con viction of the country, and to attain this end the country is prepared to make any sacrifices which and To insisteff ect. on may be fairly as k e d t o carry on t h e war w ith v i gour such conditions is now the pion and paramount duty of tha Minister guiding the coun. cils of England. . I We have already pointed out how very far indeed from the concession of these conditions is the trans• action which has already occurred; We once non earnestly entreat attention to that part of the Awn trian .proposal which refers to what is called, in strangely-affected phraseology, the neutralisation of tl , 2* Black Sea. We do not hesitate to say that the entire of the proposal is drawn up in Isagsage , decidedly favourable to - the pretensions, and caps ble of a construction whiCh would advance instead of restrain thoie pretensions. Let us not be told that we are quibbling about words. The allegation we are dealing with is, that Russia has bound herself by her qualified accept ance of these proposals to terms which secure the peace of 'Europe. We utterly deny this •, We can only maintain oar denial by showing the true meaning of the document she has accepted as the text of discussion. Besides we must re member that in dealing with Russia we must criticise words. Some of our readers, perhaps, have not forgotten that when the " famous " Vienna note was adopted by the French and English Cabinets in 1853, we stood alone fur severaliweeks at the British press in pointing out the insidious character of the designs which were masked under the plausible language of that note. We were then upbraided with verbal quib bling. We were told that Europe must not be in. volved in war for the nice weighing of phrases. It is enough for us to say that upon the question of these very phrases we have been ever since at war. War was proclaimed because Russia demanded the very phrases which English diplomacy had offered, but which Turkish sagacity refused. The language of the Austrian proposal is more insidiously favourable to Russian designs than was even that of the Vienna note. Let us take the sentence which embodies the principle of the proposal relative to the Euxine :••••, 4 NEUTRALISATION OF THE BLACK SKA. " This sea shall be open to merchant vessels, closed to war navies ; consequently, no naval or military arsenal shall be erected or maintained thf re. " Maintained there ? " where, in the name of common sense ? In the Black Sea ! This is the literal and grammatical meaning of the words. To what do they extend ? Nobody creates or maintains naval or military arsenals in the sea. TI ey are on the coasts adjoining, or in harbours or rvers communicating with it. Does this mean that Russia is to be prohibited from rebuilding Sebastopol ? If even this were honestly meant, why could it not be plainly stated? But suppose Sebastopol is conceded to be an arsenal in the Black Sea ; is Turkey then to be equally bound to dismantle any forts or arsenals which she may have upon any of the coasts of the Euxine ? Is she to be bound to erect new ones ? Is this in tended as a prohibition against fortifying the Bos phorus ? We cannot believe that any British Minister will ever be base enough to propose to bind Turkey by such a stipulation—a stipulation which would amount to an engagement not to pro vide the means •f resisting Russian aggression. We would be glad to know if the consent of Tur key has been obtained to her own disarming. But even this is not all. Is Nicolaieff an arsenal in the Black Sea ? If Russia is at liberty to main tain an enormous naval arsenal at Nicolaieff, the stipulation not t rebuild Sebastopol is utterly un . availing. Let us suppose for a moment that the construction of the proposal be that all forts on the immediate coasts of the Euxine are to be dis mantlel ; the consequence is this, that Turkey is hound to leave the entrance to the Bosphorus un protected, as well as all her Asiatic and European sea-board uncovered by any military or naval ar senal, while Russia is at liberty to build and equip a fleet at Nicolaieff, which she can at any moment float down the waters of the Euxine, ready to descend upon the coasts which the generous pro tectors of Ottoman independence purpose to leave undefended by a single fort. The Minister who will propose to bind Turkey by such a stipulation will be her treacherous as sassin. This is the consequence of what appears a mere affectat'on of language, substituting the phrase " neutralisation of the Black Sea," for the old and intelligible phrase " cessation of Russian prepon derance in the Black Sea." We do not want the Black Sea neutralised ; what we do want is that Turkey and Russia should be placed in such rela, tive positions that Russia will be deprived of the power of seizing on Constantinople by her superior maritime strength. it is impossible to believe that if this object had been really contemplated by the proposal, it would not have been framed in' an guage clear, direct, and unequivocal. But still more remains lurking in these villanous paragraghe. The right of RuFsia to hold Circassia is covertly admitted. What right has any convention be tween the belligerent powers to bind the Circsa sians to erect no forts or arsenals upon the Black Sea ? Circassian independence is utterly ignored. Russia and Turkey are treated as the sole owners of the sea-board of the Black Sea, and upon the supposition of this exclusive joint ownership the seq. is to be " neutralised.' The British Government never should have given the least sanction to such a proposal. But what ever be the degree of sanction that has been given, when these proposals come to be discussed in de tail—if ever they do so—the Ministers are traitors to their country who will not insist upon these points. Ist. That Circassian independence be completely recognised. 2. That the prohibition against the ma in tenance or erection of naval arsenals by Russia shall extend to every harbour, inlet, and river communicating with the waters of the Euzine. 3. That no stipulation shall prevent Turkey from erecting those fortresses which nev er can b e We have comme nt ed , and only partially com mented, upon just two p aragraphs of these treac herous proposals. But sure l y we have said eno ugh to point out the p er il t h at attends uegotia bueseed ssefonrttiahle to p he urp negotia tions framed on su c h a b as i s, and the absolute ne cessity which exi s t s t h at in that negotiation, if ever we enter on it , t h e representative of England, rdefence. es of aggression, b u t w hi ch may ' '. whoever he may be, should fully perceive the snares that are laid for him—should rightly appre ciate the conditions which the security of Europe imperatively demand, and should unflinchingly in sist upon those conditions in plain, in bold, and in .unplistakeable terms. If these be so, it is yet possible for the country to escape the peril in which the treacherous wiles of Austrian mediation have involved us.
