I litherto the entire property of the shareholders in Joint str,ek Banks has buen liable for the debts and engagements of. the Bank of which the) , were proprietors, and the risks wrid inconveniences which have occasionally occurred tlherefrom have necessarily deterred many from investing their capital in shares in such undertakings. The Joint-stock Banking Companies Amendment Acts, passed expressly to remove this uncertain risk, and to give confidence in Joint-stock Banks, have entirely obvioted this objection as regards Banks of limited liability, and the " Metropolitan and Provincial Bank (limited)," has been established under the express provisions of those Acts, so that no shareholder therein can possibly be liable for any sum beyond the amount of the shares ho holds. The following tabular statement of the business results of four of the London Joint-stock Banks to the 30th June last, clearly indicates their advancing success, and the present Market value of their shares. + 4 ' 1 4 ' e i rZI 4, sz o ce ."i 4 t ift . t : 7? 4 13 TJ ;"a , 43 c/a wa Joint-Stock Banks. c - ) + g'•= l g o = ii t : 3 9 • a, 2+' 541-z A V.E 3, 78 Po A 4 - - - _ Per :London and West-1 £ £ Ct. £ £ £ minster 1,000,00014,521.650 20 20 66 131,592 London Joint-Stock 600,000 11,425,037 25 10 30 81,006 tinionßankof London 600,000 10,415,020 10 12 25i 95,616 Banks witliProvincial Branches.

And with regard to the customers, as it is not intended to call up more than £25 per share of the sub scribed capital of the bank, the remaining £75 will form an ample guarantee to them. The " Times," in its Money Article of the 2d February, 1860, with reference to the Bank of Manchester, the con stitution of which had been recently changed to limited liability under the new acts, remarked :—" At a meeting of the Bank of Manchester yesterday a very satisfactory account was given of the results of registering under limited liability. That step was adopted in July last, and the balance-sheet now presented for the past half-year showed that the deposits have increased, and that while the general condition of the bank has improved, the shares have become more widely diffused, the augmentation in the number of holders being 40 per cent. It is believed, likewise, that the proprietary now includes many persons of wealth and pru dence, who would have avoided all commitments of an undefined character. At the same time the marketability of the shares and also their value have been favourably influenced." At the Half-yearly Meeting of the same Bank, held in January last, it was shown that since the Company had become limited the shareholders had very nearly doubled in number, while the current accounts had increased 35 per cent. and the lodgment accounts 69 per cent., with a cor responding increase in the amount deposited. The Liverpool Commercial Banking Company, originally established with unlimited liability, have also taken advan tage of the new principle, and the following is an extract from the Report presented at the General Meeting held on the 9th of March last :—" It is in a high degree pleasing to the Directors to be enabled to state, as they confidently do, that the principle of ' limited liability' adopted by the Bank has so fully justified their hopes. The general business of the Bank has never been better; no branch of it has suffered ; on the contrary, new and valuable accounts are added, bringing an increase of business, while some substantial and valuable proprietors, who objected to hold shares under unlimited liability,' have joined the Bank as shareholders; the number of proprietors is increased, and the price of the Bank's shares shows that they are considerably enhanced in public estimation." The Directors, Auditors, and other Officers will be re quired to make the usual dechiration of secrecy. Powers are taken in the articles of association to estab lish branch banks in the metropolis and the provinces, as soon as the business operations of the Bank justify its ex tension.

DEATH OF THE EARL .01 EGLINTON. It is with deep regret that we announce the death of the Earl of Eglinton. A telegram was received yesterday (Friday) afternoon from Scot land announcing the melancholy fact of the noble earl's death. He died yesterday morning at Mr. White Melville's seat, St. Andrew% Fife shire. It appears, from information received by our informant from an authentic sou rce, that the Earl of Eglinton was engaged during the after noon of Tuesday last in playing at golf, apparently in robust health. He dined with Mr. Melville and company in the evening at St. Andrew's, and exhi bited his usual cheerfulness.. Bef ore the p arty sepa rated. the earl was seized with a fit of apoplexy, which at once rendered him unconscious. In that lamentable state he continued until his demise. On the telegraphic mess a g e reaching London on Wednesday morning Lo rd Mont g omerie and Vis count Ingestre, M.P., at once left for Scotland, and su b seq uently, on Thursday morn in g , Lord Rendels ham, the earl's son - in - law , and the Hon. Captain North also departed for the north. The late Right Hon. Archibald William Mont gomerie, Earl of Eglinton and Lord Montgomerie in the peerage of Scotland, and Baron Ardrossan in the United Kingdom, was the only son of Archi bald, Lord Montgomerie, eldest son of Hugh, 12th Earl of Eglinton, by Lady Mary, daughter and heir of Archibald, 11th Earl of March. He was born Sept. 29, 1812, so that he had only recently com pleted, his 49th year. The lamented earl was served as heir male gene ral of George, 4th Earl of Winton, in ,Dec., 1840, George; the 6th Earl, who was attainted in 1716, having left no issue. His lordship's mother after wards married, in Jan., 1815, the late Sir Charles Montolieu Lamb, and Knight Marshal. On the death of his grandfather Hugh, the 12th earl, Dec. 14, 1819, he succeeded to the honours of the family and extensive ancestral domains in Scotland, being, as may be gathered from the above, on his acces sion to the title, only in his Bth year. For a long series of years the Earl of Eglinton was an honour able supporter of the turf, and had at one period one of the largest and best racing studs in the country. His success on the turf was considerable. In 1842 he won the St. Leger with Blue Bonnet, in 1847 with Van Tromp, and again in 1849 with the Flying Dutchman. The Derby of 1849 was won by the same horse ; and Van Tromp won the Goodwood Cup in 1848. Shortly after the Earl of Eglinton won the celebrated match for 1,000 guineas at the York Spring Meeting—his celebrated Flying Dutchman, defeating the Earl of Zetland's Voltigeur—his lordship gave up the turf, and very seldom after attended the chief race meetings, of which he had been formerly such a consistent supporter. The name of the Earl of Eglinton will always be associated with the pageant he held in August, 1839, at his Castle in Ayrshire, familiarly known as the Eglinton Tournament, at which the present Emperor of France was one of the Knights, and at which the Duchess of Somerset, then Lady Sey mour, had the distinction to take the part of the " Queen of Beauty." The late Earl married first, on the 17th Feb,, 1841, Theresa, widow of Captain R. H. Cockerell, R.N., and daughter of Mr. Chas. Newcomen, by whom he leaves surviving issue Archibald Wm. Lord Montgomerie, Lady Egidia, born on the 17th Dec., 1843, and married a few months back to Lord Rendlesham ; the Hon. Seton Montolieu, born in May, 1846 ; and the Hon. G. A. Montgomerie, born in February, 1848. His lord ship married, secondly, in 1858 (his first Countess dying in December, 1853), Lady Adela Capel, only daughter of the Earl of Essex, who died suddenly in Edinburgh on the 31st of last December. The Earl of Eglinton was a firm supporter of the Con servative party. The late Sir It. Peel, on the death of the Earl of Glasgow, appointed him Lord-Lieu- First Lord ot the Treasury, When.4l.. _Earl of Derby was( in M 5 2, he selected the Earl of Eglinton to fill the high post of Lord 'Lieutenant of Ireland. It was one of the Earl of Derby's happiest selections. The rare social quali ties of his lordship, combined with his princely hospitality, rendered him a most popular viceroy. _ _ It was stated unanimously by the Irish press, on his retirement in Dec., 1852, that since the late Duke of Northumberland was the representative of the Sovereign, no one had kept up the vice-regal hospitalities in a more princely style. He was again appointed Lord-Lieutenant in February, 1858, and maintained the dignity until the Earl of Derby left office in June, 1859, his popularity remaining undi minished. During the early part of the Earl of Aber deen's Ministry that eminent statesman presented the Earl of Eglinton with the Order of the Thistle, expressing his belief that no member of the Scottish nobility was more justly entitled to the honour than the Earl. The deceased nobleman was elected Lord Rector of Glasgow University in November, 1852 ; and. was colonel of the Ayrshire Militia from 1836 to 1852, when he resigned. The lamented peer is succeeded in the earldom by his eldest son, Lord Montgomerie, born December 3, 1841. His lord ship has been some few years in the Royal Navy as midshipman, but we believe has relinquished the idea of adopting it as a profession. The noble house of Montgomerie has for more than 600 years held an eminent position among the nobility of Scotland. Robert de Montgomerie, sup posed to have been derived from [the great Norman house of that name in England, died about 1180. He was a witness to the foundation of the monas tery of Paisley. His son, Sir John, was succeeded by Sir Alan, who died before 1234, leaving Sir Robert, who dying in 1264, was succeeded by his brother, Sir John, who died in 1285. His son, Sir John de Montgomerie, was one of the great Barons of Scotland, summoned to appear at Berwick in 1291. He was an adherent of Robert Bruce, and engaged with him in many dangerous encounters ; he died in 1316. His son, Sir Alexander, was father of Sir John, who married the heiress of Eglinton, by Giles his wife, daughter. of Walter, Lord High Steward of Scotland, and sister to King Robert 11. His eldest son, Sir Hugh, was engaged with James, Earl of Douglas, in the battle of Otterburn (Chevy Chase), where he was slain in 1388, in which en gagement he signalised himself; and, having taken Sir Henry Percy prisoner, built with ransom money his castle of Punoon, which was afterwards his chief seat, in his lordship of Egilshomme. His son and heir, Sir John, was raised to the dignity of a Lord of Parliament, by the title of Lord Mont gomerie, in 1427, and died in 1430. His son, Alex ander, second peer, was in high favour with James I. (of Scotland); and, among many important offices, was sent Ambassador Extraordinary to the Court of England, in 1451 ; ho died in 1454. His son Andrew, third peer, died in 1459, leaving Alexander, fourth peer, who died in 1487, leaving Hugh, fifth peer, who was created Earl of Eglinton in 1503. His son John, Lord Montgo merie, was killed in a scuffle between the Earls of Arran and Angus, at Edi n b urg h, i n 1520 ; an d th e Earl was succeeded by his grandson, Hugh, second Earl, to whose care was committed the tuition of the young King James V. He was appointed one of the Governors of Scotland, in 153 G. His son Hugh, third Earl, was for a long while an adherent of the party of Queen Mary. " At length, in 1571, the Regent," says Robertson, th e historian, " pre vailed on the Earls of Argyll, Eglinton, Cassilis, and the Lord Boyd to acknowledge the King's authority. The three Earls were among the most powerful noblemen, and had been hitherto zealous in the Queen's cause." The Earl was soon after made prisoner, with several others, at the surprise of the King's party at Stirling, by Kirkcaldy. He died in 1585. His daughter, lamb; Margaret, mar ried Robert, Earl of Winton. But his Son Hugh became fourth Earl, and being murdered in the flower of his age, in 1589, was succeeded by his son Hugh, fifth Earl, who had a son, Robert, who died before him, in 1602, and left a daughter, Lady Mar garet, who married Robert ; Lord Boyd, but had no issue. The Earl died in 1612, and the earldom then went, according to an arrangement made in the Earl's life, to Alexander Seton, second son of his aunt, Lady Margaret, by Robert, Earl of Winton, which Alexander thus became sixth Earl of Eglin ton, and took the name of Montgomerie. He was a man of great courage, and nicknamed Grey-Steel. He first joined the Parliament in the subsequent rebellion, but afterwards returned to his loyalty, and was made captain of Charles IL's Guard of Horse, in 1650. The next year he was surprised by the enemy, carried prisoner to Hull, and remained confined there until the Restoration. His younger son was Colonel James Montgomerie, of Coalsfield, ances tor to the late Earl. The Eg.rl died in 1661, aged 73, and was succeeded by his son Hugh, 7th Earl, who distinguished himself by his loyalty and bravery during the civil wars ; and, living to see the Restoration, enjoyed a large share of the favour of Charles 11. He died in 1669, and was succeeded by his son Alexander, Bth Earl, who came early into the Revolution, and was named one of the Lords of the Privy Council to King William ; and, dying in 1701, was succeeded by his son Alexan der, 9th Earl, who was one of the Commissioners of the Treasury in the reign. of King William, and elected one of the 16 peers in 1712 and 1713: he died in 1729. His son Alexander became 10th Earl, who was one of the Lords of the Bedchamber at the beginning of the reign of George 111., and elected one of the 16 peers in 1761. He was un fortunately shot on the 24th of October, 1761, by Mungo Campbell, from whom he was endeavouring to take a gun, with which_themurderer was sport ing in his lordship's grounds. Ilia was aueceeded by his brother Archibald, 11th Earl, who was a general in the army, and colonel of the 51st Regi ment of Foot, and died in 1796, without male issue ; on which he was succeeded by his cousin, Hugh Montgomerie of Coalsfield, descended from Colonel James Montgomerie of Coalsfield, before mentioned, younger son of Alexander, sixth Earl, who died in 1661. As before stated, he died in 1819, when the deceased Earl, his grandson, inherited the honours of the family. 1128. SCHOLEFIELD, 211. P., AT BIRMING HAM. At the 16th anniversary meeting of the Birming ham Retail Brewers' Protection Society, held on Wednesday afternoon, at Aston Hall, the chair was taken by Mr. William Scholefield, M.P. Mr. SCHOLEFIELD, in responding to the toast of " The Borough Members," said that he had been half afraid that he would have been under the ne• cessity of calling Alderman Baldwin to order. Alderman Baldwin had touched upon a Reform Bill, and briefly alluded to the finances of the country, and he (Mr. Scholefield) had really felt half afraid that he was going to embark upon some of those questions that were always moot questions among them, but which at such a meeting he thought they would act wisely not to touch upon. At the same time he must say that he did not intend any reflec tion upon Alderman Baldwin, as he agreLd with all that he had said, but at a meeting like t e present he preferred not to discuss such points, when he was not sure that his opinions were in accordance with the political sentiments of all those around him. They had met together for a special purpose that recom mended itself to all of them ; and they would allow him to say that he much regretted that their friend and his friend, Mr. John Bright, was not there to share in their festivities, for he was sure that no man could be more genial than Mr. Bright on such an oc casion. He believed that Mr. Bright concurred in the feelings he had over and over again expressed with regard to the Retail Brewers' Association, and that if he was absent on that day it was not because he entertained different views, but because private considerations prevented him from being n e x i. e p s e e r i ll e t n . 6. ll a e s e m o r ie st ag s u a c y vo t i h th at x , i a r f . t ß e r r ig a h e t, on A s l i d d e e rm rab a le n ilaldvvin had said nothin,, -sr men +hat he could not cordially seconn. It would ill become him to offer to laud the high character and powerful eloquence of one whose reputation was not simply English, but European, and he did not for one moment pre tend to pronounce his eulogy before that assem blage ; but he must say that, as a representative of the borough, although there had been on some questions differences of opinion between himself and Mr. Bright, and on these occasions he had not scrupled before the face of Mr. B. to express his opinion, yet with regard to their general policy it was impossible for any two members of the House of Commons to act as colleagues with more cor diality, entire concurrence, and warm friendship, than Mr. Bright and himself. It had unfortunately happened that when many members of Parliament reached the House of Commons they had acted in contradiction to the wishes of their constituents, and when called upon for an explanation construed some phrases that had been used in their election contest in a different way from that in which they had been construed by those who returned them. But for himself be would say that during the 14 years he had served them, he did not know he had a single charge brought against him of having voted inconsistently with the promises he had made. He did lot say this in the way of self ' praise, for if he had altered his opinion he would at once have told them so ; and if they did not agree with them they could have chosen a man who would represent them better. He had been consistent because he retained in their entirety the principles and opinions he professed when they first returned him to Parliament. The electors might at any moment change—they knew what politics were, and that large bodies of men were always liable to sudden change of opinion—and all he could say was that if he changed he would at once let them know, and so give them an oppor tunity of electing a man who would better repre sent their feelings. With regard to the House of Commons, it hardly became him to say much, as he was a part of it, but it had become the fashion during the last few years to abuse the House, and say that it did not perform its duties, After con siderable experience he must say that, in his opinion, the House of Commons at the present moment fairly represented the opinions of the country. He did not say this to show that in his opinion a re form in Parliament was not requisite—that was a subject he would not discuss then, as his opinion on it was well known, everyone knowing that he was a thorough reformer, and that he perhaps went further than many around him: But taking. the House of Commons as it was, he could not hear any one say that it did not fairly represent the people of England without expressing his opinion that such statement was fallacious. There was no legislative assembly in the world that conducted so large an amount of business as the House had to conduct so fairly and honestly as the House . tfid .m indeed he on w s o C orru ption was unknown ther e undertake to find m ore corru p tion in the Govern mentcduildd . , of any other country, whether it was in the despotism of what was now called " constitu tional " Austria, or in republican America, in one day, than could be found in the House of Commons for half a century. He felt convinced that great changes must soon occur in the constitution of the l fouse of Commons, but he felt convinced that the faults of its members were neither corruption nor desire for personal aggrandisement, that the fault was in the system which brought together a num ber of men acting from oIU associations and feelings of conservatism, men who might be mistaken, but involve ah who inve ooml ryaeel members honestly, riorsuoraf btlhe personalabt body hd an and whose that reputation. mist e akes believed dianot him the honour to reyetunorsefn m t h o e i w n m h d . ele ments in it that he would like to see elivainated, and elements outside tha h but wheneve r the i i c d h n t h o te Thereye w x h i ea s rd t 0 than don e t e would like to see introduced , change took place—and it must soon come—he hoped that the constitution of the liQule of Commons, as an assembly of honourable men, would not lose anything by the change. He believed it would not, but his highest hope was that as an assembly of honourable men the House of Commons would remain what it was at present. (Loud cheers.) THE DUKE OF NEJVCAsTLE ON THE AMERICAN WAR. At the conclusion of a review of the Robin Hood Rifles, on Thursday last, the Duke of Newcastle presented the prizes to the winners in the late rifle contest at Nottingham. In the course of his remarks his Grace said :—Recollect the example you have seen among our cousins on the other side of the ' Atlantic. You have heard of what occurred at the most important battle which has hitherto taken place in that country. I deeply regret that that civil war should have commenced. I deeply regret that it is being continued, but do not for one moment believe that that people are one whit less brave than yourselves. They have sprung from the same stock; they would fight as well as Englishmen ; but it is because they have not that experience, that they had not that drill, and that they had not those practical officers, that that disaster took place at Bull Run which has been so much com mented upon. Now, I say that that ought to be an example to the volunteers of this country. You ought to take a lesson from that, and remember that, unless you persevere in drill, unless your officers practise themselves, and endeavour to attain the same perfection as officers of the regular army, a disaster of the same kind, a sudden panic, might happen to the volunteeis of this country as well as in America. Having touched upon that subject, I will only say one word in reference to it, viz., that I know that every man in this town has only too good reason, apart from the affection which he bears to his countrymen across the Atlantic—for still we must so call them—l say he has too good reason, independently of this consideration, to regret that civil war; and I am certain you will all join with, me in the earnest hope that further shedding of blood may be spared, and that, before the lapse of any long time, that calamitous war may be brought to a close. (Cheers.) Three cheers were then given for the Queen, the Duke of Newcastle, and Lieut.-Colonel Wright, the commanding officer of the Robin Hoods, after which the proceedings were brought to a close. PRICE OF BREAD IN PARIS. A letter from Paris says :—ln the Ministerial Council which took place on Tuesday, and lasted four hours, it is said grain and bread were the objects of discussion. It is a subject important enough to merit precedence above all others. Ever since the last rise in the price of bread the agitation has been great among the labouring classes, espe cially in the Faubourg St. Jaques and the Faubourg St. Antoine. Placards are posted up on the doors of bakers demanding bread at one price and potatoes at another. Besides, the Place Maubert became, the day before yesterday, the scene of angry discussion on the part of the workmen, and several arrests have been made in consequence. Besides these more palpable signs of discontent with the municipal authorities and prefecture, other means have been resorted to, and these are anony mous letters. Since the last rise of bread the municipality and prefecture have been inundated with these missives, couched, as you may imagine, in anything but offi cial language. While other ways of manifesting opinions about officials in power are rather scanty and fraught with difficulties, one must expect this undesirable expedient, which seems to place us back to the times of the old secret tribunals of Germany, the Vehmgericht. Both prefecture and munici pality are in trouble about these anonymous commu nications, and they have to thank themselves for it. A little publicity would remedy everything. The municipality was in debt to the bakers for last year to the amount of 53,000,000 f. a sum which has been now reduced to 16,000,000 f. With such a deficit still remaining, and the apprehension of winter close at hand, it would not be desirable to encumber the nuances or tuu - vown too much, and with this view they raiscd the price of the maxi.: mum, expecting to maintain bread at that price for the rest of the winter. The expense entailed on the town by the establishment of the caisse is formidable. lam told one certain difference be tween the fiscal market price and the price of the bakers stands the town in 250,000 f. a-month. In the meantime I hear the Emperor has given positive orders to continue without interruption all works during the winter, and begin even those which have been only projected. A story is told in this respect which I give you as I receive it. The Prefet of the Seine made some remarks about the heavy charge which the works entailed on the tax payers. After having listened patiently to the Prefet, the Emperor is said to have answered, " Well, next year you will only spend 60,000,000 f (the sum allotted this year)." THE EXPLOSION' ON BOARD THE STEAMER C.ARIBOO-sEVEN LIVES LOST. The British Colonist of August 3 gives the fol lowing particulars of the sad calamity which occurred to the above-named steamer on that date. It says :—At half-past two o'clock this morning the new steamer Cariboo left the Hudson Bay Company's wharf with eight passengers, 35 tons of freight, and 11 head of live stock. Just after rounding Shoal Point, heading for the outer harbour, a terrific ex plosion was heard by people on shore, and a thick cloud of smoke and steam arising from the direc tion in which the steamer had gone left no doubt in the minds of the few persons who chanced to be in the street, that she had blown up. The first boats to reach the wreck were three fishing-boats and several canoes from the Indian encampment. There was found nothing but a floating hulk, ripped and torn from stem to stern, and floating outward with the receding tide. Several passengers who were in the water were picked up by the canoes and fishing-boats. Groans and cries for help were heard fiom all directions, and it was some time before the rescuers could allay the excitement of the sufferers sufficiently to admit of their being brought to tostn. The Cariboo had just started on her second trip, when she was blown up ; she was perfectly new ; her engines and boiler were ordered from Scotland. The total loss by the calamity will probably reach 45,000 dols., the boat alone being valued at 35,000 dols. The Caledonia steamer proceeded to the cove in which the wreck had stranded, and towed her to the Hudson Bay Company's wharf, wheu the sheers were put into operation, and the heavy machinery removed. Some of the shafts of the engines were broken short off, showing the immense force of the explosion. Pieces of the boiler iron, half an inch in thickness, and twisted and turned into every conceivable shape, were shown us. The cause of the disaster is attributed to low water in the boiler. Steam was got up at 11.30 on Thursday night : but the boat did not start until two o'clock yesterday morning. Mr. Allen, in charge of the engine, is said to have been uneasy all day on Thursday about the boiler. Captain Jamieson's brother was a capable engineer ; but Allen having put the machinery together it was deemed advisable that he should continue in charge until the former understood its working thoroughly. A hand on the boat, who saw Allen a few moments before the explosion, near the boiler, says he seemed anxious, and was scolding the fireman for not under standing his duty. There is no doubt in the minds of practical engineers but that if the boiler had been well supplied with water the explosion could not have occurred. 'rho circumstances attending the disaster are identical with those attending the loss of the Yale boat in April last, and is another call upon our Government to put rigidly in force the laws regulating steam vessels plying. Missing and Killed.—Capt. Arehdiald Jamieson, aged 35 years, native of Scotland ; Jamieson, (brother of the above), assistant-engineer, aged 40 years, native of Scotland; Wm. Allen, chief engi neer, aged 37, native of England ; John Sparks, mate, aged 30 years, native of Scotland ; P. do Garro, passenger, native of France, aged about 40 years; Daniel Foley, fireman, native of Ireland, aged 26 years ; a deck hand, name unknown. In addition to the above, two Indian boys are said to be missing. Wounded.—John Reid, deck hand, arm broken; Henry Gray, pilot, severely bruised about the body and head ; Mr. Ramage, Dr. Duchesne, and several others received slight contusions ; Jackson, a coloured lad, aged 12, pantry-boy, scalded and bruised in the back. In the pockets of Foley's clothes was found the sum of 125 dollars in sovereigns. PRICE ....... Ad. STAMPED ....sd. Fd7HER PASSAGLIA ON TRE 2EIII - POWER, In his much talked of pamphlet, just published, Father Passaglia warns the Catholic bishops of an approaching disruption in the Church. He asks : " After what fashion do our fathers in Christ, our pastors and teachers, conduct themselves ? No sooner is the Italian people seen rejoicing with great joy than their bishops all raise their voices of complaint, deploring what they on the contrary call the misfortunes of the country. 'When the people re turn fervent thanks to God for benefits received, their bishops cry out that they ought to appease the indignation and the wrath of Heaven. If the people seek to approach the altar to offer to God the sacrifice of peace and to eat the eucharistic bread, the bishops banish the priests from the temple, and threaten to visit them with the heaviest penalties. In short, whatever is most desired, and is the obj •ct of the most fervent prayers of the people, is attacked and contradicted by the bishops." The remedy for this state of things Father Passaglia describes to be as follows : " If, in other times, the conditions of human society might have suggested the necessity of com bining a civil principality with the Supreme Ponti ficate, the form of public and private institutions is now so greatly changed that the Pontiff can wish for nothing better than to see the sceptre separated from the keys, the tiara of the priest from the diadem of the king. This separation may indeed meet with opposition from those who are absolutely dependent on the Papal Government, but it is in voked with one voice by the whole Italian people, who cannot any longer tolerate that the recon stituted nation should be left without its capital. It is unanimously invoked by the most cultivated peoples of Europe, who clearly perceive that the most serious injury accrues to religion and to the Supreme Pontificate from the responsibilities of civil monarchy. This separation is invoked by the dangers from which it will be impossible to save the Church and civilised society if the Pontiff will not attemper his mind to councils of concord and of peace ; it is recommended by the offiee of supreme pastor, which should take into account only the advantage of the flock ; it is called for, lastly, by all the divine and human rights which urge us to address to Pius IX. the very words that the Bishops of Africa spoke to Pope Innocent I. :—' Seeing that God, by His mercy, has placed thee in the apostoli cal chair, and has made thee hold such a post in these our times, when it would be a greater fault in us to keep silent respecting whatever must be sug gested for the welfare of the Church than for thee to hear with reluctance and negligence our words, we implore thee to direct thy pastoral care to the great dangers menacing the weak members, of the Church of Christ." UNPLEASANT SWIMMING COMPANIONS. [From A Hero in Spite-of Himself, by Captain Mayne Reid.] A shark may be driven off for a time by the efforts of a human enemy, but his natural voracity will soon impel him to return to the attack. When the Indian, therefore, rose tothe surface of the water —remembering his old practice as a pearl diver—he cast around him a glance of caution. Having shouted back to his companion in misfortune some words which the latter had indistinctly heard, he placed his knife between his teeth, and swam straight onward. It was not fear that caused him to take this precau tion. It was merely an act of habitual prudence. As he struck out from the canoe, he perceived that two monsters of the deep, far more formidable than those of the forest, were proceeding in the same direction as himself. One was about 20 feet from him on the right, the other appeared at an equal dis tance on his left ; and both were evidently attend ing upon him. Unpleasant as two such companions might be deemed, the swimmer at first paid but slight attention to their movements. His mind was pre-occupied with a variety of other thoughts —especially with the doubt as to whether he might be able to find the barges. On the wide surface of the sea, and in the midst of the profound darkness, it would be but too easy to pass without perceiving them, and very difficult indeed to find them. This apprehension, combined with those fearless habits in the water, which he had contracted while following the life of a pearl-diver—and furthermore his belief in a positive fatalisrri—all united in ren dering the Zapoteque indifferent to the presence of his two terrible attendants. Only at intervals, and then rather from prudence than fear, he turned his head to the right or left, and glanced in the direc tion of his conzpagnons du voyage. Tie could not help perceiving, moreover, that at each instant the sharks were drawing nearer to him. By a vigorous stroke on the water he now raised his body high over the surface ; and, there balancing for a mo ment, glanced forward. It was an eager glance ; for he was looking for that object on the finding of which his life must depend. He saw only the line of the horizon of dull sombre hue—no object visible upon it, except here and there the white crests of the waves. A sudden glance to the right, and an other to the let, showed him the two fearful crea tures now nearer than ever. Neither was more than ten feet from his body. Still the swimmer was not dismayed by their presence. Far more was he daunted by the immense solitude of the watery surface that surrounded him. However bold a man may be, there are moments when danger must ne cessarily cause him fear. Costal was in a position sufficiently perilous to have unnerved most men. Swimming in the midst of a rising sea—beyond sight of land, or any other object—escorted by two voracious sharks—with a dark sky over head, and no precise knowledge of the direction in which he was going—no wonder he began to feel something more than inquietude. However strong may be the swimmer, he cannot fail, after long keeping up such vigorous action as it requires, to become fatigued and worn out; the more so hen, like Costal, he carries a knife be tween his teeth—thus impeding his free respira tion. But the ex-pearl diver did not think of part ing with the weapon—his only resource in case of being attacked by the sharks—and still keeping his lips closed upon it, he swam on. After a time he felt his heart beating violently against his ribs. He attributed this circumstance less to fear than to the efforts he was making ; and, taking the knife from his mouth, he carried it in one of his hands. The pulsations of his heart were not the less rapid ; for it may be acknowledged without much shame to him, that Costal now really felt fear. Moreover, swimming with one hand closed, it was necessary for him to strike more rapidly with the other. The precaution taken of holding his knife ready in hand was not likely to prove an idle one. The two sharks appeared to be gradually converging upon the line which the swimmer must take if he con tinued to swim directly onward. On observing this convergence of his silent and persevering pursuers, Costal suddenly obliqued to the right. The sharks imitated his movement on the instant, and swam on each side of him as before. For a few minutes—long and fearful minutes—he was forced to keep on in this new direction. He began to fancy he was swimming out of the way he should have taken ; and was about to turn once more to the left, when an object came before his eyes that prompted him to utter an ejaculation of joy. In spite of h imself, he had been guided into the right direction by the very enemies from whom he was endeavouring to escape ; and it was the sight of the barges that had drawn from him the joyful exclamation. bailing boats. Ho had the satisfaction of hearing a re sponse ; but as no one saw him through the dark ness; it was necessary for him to continue swimming onwards. By this time the two sharks had closed on each side, and were gliding along so near that only a narrow way was open between them. Costal felt that he had not sufficient strength to make a detour; and the only course left him was to swim straight to throatthe n o e f a i r h e e st fi b r o s a t t. th l a i t e s kept h his heart beating against his ribs, and with his knife e firmly held in his grasp, ready to bury the weapon ou n should assail With the last efforts of his strengtl he lunged out° right and left, by voice and gesture endeavourinr , to frighten off the two monsters that flanked hi m; and he proceeded onward in this way like some doomed chip, struggling lietween the black masses of reeky breakers. By good fortuno his efforts proved successful. The hideous creatures, glaring upon him with glassy eyeballs, were nevertheless frightened by his menacing gestures , and for the moment diverged a little out of his way. Costal took advantage of this precious momen t, and swim ming rapidly forward succeeded in clutchin g the side of one of the barges. A d ozen friendl y arms instantly drew him aboard, but as hi s comrades ' tlicref him. bent over him upon the deck they perceived that he was unconscious. The effort had been too much for 1 his strength. He had sunk into a syncope.

It consists of about 30,000 cubic up in eight stories. The correspondi ng feat of timber piled scaffold at the other end of the nave is nearly half done. In order to raise the ribs of the nave, a travelling scaf fold has been erected, to move on a tram throughout its entire length. This beautiful piece of workmanship i s about 95 feet high, andhas cost the contractors the sum of £5OO at least. Notwithstanding its 817.?, and wei,ght, - it can be run along the tram by four men. To prevent the tram way from being driven into the earth by the superincum bent structure, it has been found necessary to drive piles for it to reston. The machinery-shed in Prince Albert's-roadis in a very forward state. It consists of four aisles, lighted from the top, and presents a noble picture of elegance and light ness, with rather a Gothic look given by the intersection of the circular ribs. Tho cheapness of the cost of its produc tion is a no less remarkable feature of its construction, and offers a useful suggestion for any temporary buildings, or for those intended for agricultural purposes. In the meantime the arrangements for the Exhibition it self are progressing quickly and favourably. The 30th of September was the last day on which appli cations for space were received. The total number a-tip plinnts from Great Britain and Ireland amounts, speak ing roughly, to 10,000, and, as might be expected, a very large number of these have only come forward at the last moment. On Friday, the 27th, 200 applications came in ;: ou Saturday, 300 ; on Monday, 500 ; and on Tuesday, the. last day, nearly 600. Foreign countries are expected to notify to her Majesty' 'N Commissioners the manner in which they will utilise a to space allotted to them, on or before the Ist of Novembc r, soon after which period the position of the different coin tries in the building will be fixed. As at present propose d, the machinery of all countries will be exhibited togeth( So also photography and education will form internatior tat exhibitions. Some amount of dissatisfaction has been expressed by all the large countries on the Continent at the smallness of the space placed at their disposal, and , they point to the in itch larger space which they occupied in Paris in 1855, as a cl aim for an increase on that allotted to them on this occa; don. • It should be remembered, however, that her Majei sty's Commissioners are unable to accept the Paris Exbibitic in as a precedent; practically the extent of ground-at the c 10111. , mand of the French Commissioners in 1855, as well at t the funds provided by =lmperial Government, were unlimited; the area occupied, by her Majesty's Commissioners in 1862 is not susceptible of extension, and the capital is the result of the private liberality of a thousand guarantors anin rated only by public spirit. Speaking generally, and consid Bring the,space to be reserved for ceremonials and passage a, the whole space available for the actual exhibition of works of in4istry will be scarcely, if at all, larger than that occ upied in 1851.

Ido not refer merely to the material—the meat which is burnt or the gravy which is spilt—but to the small solace and comfort got in proportion to the bulk of foodwhich is prepared at last. It is not so nice, and therefore not so nutritious, as it might be, Boyer was one of the greatest of philanthropists ; but even his shilling book is too elaborate for very un educated people. The thousands which have been sold must have cheered many a home; we want, however,something simpler—best of all, more practical ele mentary teaching about cookery in connection with na tional schools. If inspectors required less physical geo graphy and an examination in (say) boiling potatoes, it would be a step in the right di rection. I would have the girls bring up their exercises in clean wooden bowls. s aii children should be allowed only such cooking, 7 m on Fli n t be; :‘ ' they had at home.
