The sound principles upon which the system of Joint-Stock Banking is based, and the benefits which its practical appli cation have conferred upon the public, aro now universally admitted. Banking Companies, with large subscribed an.l paid-capitals, and protected by the responsibility of nume rous porters, have been long in profitable operation iu every part of the kingdom. In the City of London there are six Joint Stock Banks ; and so great is the confidence of the public iu the soundness of those establishments that their Deposits amount to more than Thirty Millions sterling. The market value of their Shares ranges from 55 to upwards of 200 per cent, premium upon the amount paid; and is founded upon the iarge dividends they have declared, which, at pre sent (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 Joint-Stock Bank exists in the Western part of the Metropo lis, notwithstanding the increased demand for banking ac commodation and the rapid growth of the population. Tho Branches of the City Banks are, no doubt, important auxili aries; but, being controlled by instructions from the parent office, their Managers necessarily exercise alimitecl discretion. The " Western Bank of London" will afford to the West of the Metropolis all the benefits which are derived by parties who transact their banking business directly with au 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 bills ; make advances upon approved securities; undertake at moderate charges the agency of persons resident abroad ; receive dividends upon stocks, public or private ; collect and transmit pays, pensions, and annuities ; and generally carry on all the legitimate operations of banking. The financial position of Joint Stock Banks (unlike 'hat of private partnerships) i , published at the yearly and half yearly 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 public.. The Shares in the London Joint Stock Banks (including those recently incorporated) are almost the only description of security which has undergone no depreciation during the war ; they have, on the contrary, steadily advanced in value. The subjoined table, extracted from public documents, furnishes unequivocal evidence of the advantages which ori ginal Proprietors may secure by the investment of capital Joint Stock Banks.

By Order of the DI-ectors. WILLIAM SAMUEL DOWNES, Actuary. INDISPUTABILITY the ONLY COMPLETE SECURITY in LIFE ASSURANCE. WHAT IS MEANT BY AN INDISPUTABLE tPOLTCY ? In the first place it is unlike other policies, the adjective being used to imply something to mark and distieguish such a policy from all other policies. In the second place it means much more :it implies that the policy to which the epithet Indisputable is given cannot be disputed. except upon grounds beyond the reach and power of the contracting parties to control. In other words, the policy is repre sented as being as indisputable as man can make it. The Indisputable Life Policy Company undertosk this taslc, and in order most effectually to make the policies they issued indisputable and certain documents of security, they inserted the following clause in their Deed of Settlement, thereby creating an effective and legal obligation. imperative upon the Company to fulfil, and which it is the right of every assured member to plead and insist upon. Clause 84.—" That every policy issued be the Company shall be in defeasible and indisputable, and the fact of issuing the same sh +ll be conclusive evidence of the validity of the policy; audit shall not be lawful for the Company to delay payment of the money assured thereby on the ground of any error, mistake, or omission, however import ant, made by or on the part of the person or persons effecting, such assurance; and that, on the contrary, the amount so assured shall be paid at the time stipulated by the policy, as if no such error, mistake, or omission had been made or discovered." We have said that the above clause forms a part of the Deed of Settlement of the company, and that deed being registered in terms of the Act 7 and 8 Viet., c. 110, there is nothing wanting to give the fullest effect. It appears to have been carefully and anxiously prepared for the purpose of cutting off every ground and pretext of dispute as to the validity of the policy ; and we confess that we cannot find any words or series of sentences more operative, effective, or com pulsory for that purpose. In order the more effectually to show this, we woald iavite our readers to compare the above clause with the law as laid down by Serjeant Marshall in the passages already quoted from that learned authority. The indisputable clause says. " Every policy issued by the Company shall be in defeasible and indisputable, and the fact of issuing the same shall be conclusive evidence of the validity of the policy." Mr. Serjeant Marshall, speaking of the clause ord:narily inserted in policies, says, " It is quite immaterial ior as hat purpose or with w hat view it (a warranty) is made ; hut, being once inserted in the policy, it becomes a binding condition on the assured, and unless he can show i that it has been complied with, he ca , derive no benefit from ire policy " In other words. an indisputab e policy, when once issued, declares that, de facto, all precedent questions 'are held to have been finally settled, whereas an ordinary policy declares on the face of it that the directors retain the power to keep all these questions open to .dispute until they have actually i aid the amount of the policy to the executors. The Indisputable policy settles all recedent questions—an ordi , nary policy leaves them all unsettled. Au Indisputable policy de clares by the mere fact of its issue that all questions relating to the health, habits, age, &c., of the assure i are, as far as the Company ' is concerned, set at rest for over. Au ordinary policy leaves all these points open to dispute until the cello has actually been die ; charged.—From Register.

STATE OP TRADE. - - ( Front the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.) MANCHESTER, Tuesday, Jan. 29.—The g rowing per+ suasion that peace will be restore d b y the negotlational which are about. to commence has imparted additional spirit to our market to-day. T his has shown itself more particularly in yarns, which are generally dearer than they were at the latter end of last week, when a well defined advance had been obtained. If we carry our comparison back to this day week, we find that sellers have gained a positive advantage of fully Id. per pound: to a large extent, they ask id. ; realising it, however, but partially. Since the announcement of the Austrian given ti to onea r th n e ge thene frond. ir ewelk epnroi E g o e p i tr e e ,: t w h h e e 1 risea i t n u turn was h equ quotations e an g d re t a h t a e t st w i h m ie p h ro i v s e r m ea e l n is t e h d as atto per pound , un T d n , may te k b e e n statedplace to in 16's to 30's water twist, in 30's pincops, and in 24's warps ; and, in the ne x t d egree , in the German quality of 40's mule, and in 16's warps. The buyers have followed the sellers more freely to-day than they did before ; the German and Dutch houses still taking the lead very de cidedly, followed by the home consumers, and very spar' ingly by the India merchants. The inactivity of the Greeks leaves the lower counts of yarns in the rear of the middle numbers as regards prices. Buyers find spinner ° mostly without stocks, and indeed very largely under con tract—a position of things which prevents many from being executed. The rise in cotton is about eqtia. to that in yarn. Goods do not keep pace with yarns lin the course of improvement. The manufacturers are no h so well supplied with orders as the spinners are, thoug e ct for the most part pretty well situated inthat resp ; and the present demand for th e one is not equal to that for the other. The rise in shirtings and in double print ing cloths and madapollams i s conseq u ently not 3 akeu as d. per piece, though that is aske d, but may be tog!„ thinly lad.. since the present movement began.
