PROSPECTS. More than thi r ty years have elapse U d since any leading Bank hats been established in Scotland ; and when the following circumstances are considered, viz., the extraordinary to ex during this interval of the of the country; the ex tension of steam and railway communication; the improved cultivation and value of the land ; the almost wonderful growth of some of the chief cities and towns, in population, Wes. , th, and enterprise ; and the fact that millions pass an nually between Scotland and the commercial Metropolis of the World ; coupled with the universally admitted deficiency of direct banking accommodation between both countries ; it will be seen that the present is a peculiarly favourable op portunity for successfully introdu ing the London Bank of Scotland (L mited), and securing it an extensive and profit able business. All financial operations between Scotland and London aro transacted through Agencie s a t cons i dera b le expense, time. end trouble, by far the largest proportion both of the Inland Bills in c rculatio n i n th e country, and alto the Foreign Bills drawn upon Great Britain being made payable in London, the grand focus to which the pecuniary ransactions of the Empire are ultimately brought to be adjusted. This Company will be enabled to offer very considerable advantages to the public, in the uniform and more economical charge for the collection, transmission, and liquidation of bills, money, exchanges, and other business transactions between Scotland and London. The remarkable success attendant upon banking institutions connected with this country, whether for Ireland. the Continent, or the Colonies, proves that an establishment in London facilitates business, whilst large profits are secured. N ne of the existing Scotch Barks possess this adv antage; and the L on d on Bank of Scotland is eslablis..ed to meet so great a monetary desi deratum. A scorroborative of the neces s it y w hi ch exists for extended bans ing facilities, it may be also stated, that during the above-mentioned period the external trade of the country has more than trebled itself. The returns published by the Bosrd of Trade show that the exports in the year 183: amounted to £32,000,000, w hil e in 186) they reach( d .W 5,842817 ; and tlit the aggregate value of he imoi ts in the year 1854 (w h en first ascertained) was £152, t p 389,0 3, which in 1859 amounted to £179,182355. The home trade du r i ng the oorresponding period developed itself to an extent which it'is almost impossible to compute Regarding these consider tions, and the still rapidly expanding commercial relations between Edinburgh, Glas gow, Aberdeen, Dundee, Perth, Inverness. Paisley, Stirling, and other important pia. es in Scotland, with London, it has been decided to constituting thisßank to take powers to o , en Branches, as cir limstances may warrant, in the above cities and towns, commencing first in Edinburgh and Glasgow, with a Head Office in London. The administrat on of the London Bank of Scotland and its Branches will be superintended by men of sound practi cal, 'commercial, and financial knowledge, whose position and antecedents will be a sure guarantee of the careful and wise management adopted throughout all the details of this Bank. The following statement shows the present position of the leading Joint-Stoek Banks in Scotland • and while proving the steady and rapid growth of business, Ind' atea the marked aUocess which these institutions have attained, viz.

The dividends upon the shares in the London Joint-stock Banks range up to 24 per cent, while those upon Colonial Banks vary from 10 to 30 per cent per annum : the stock in all cases being at a high premium, ranging from 80 to 300 per cent. Official Auditors will be nominated to audit the ace - nnts in acc,rdance with the Act of Parliament, and the kirectors will publish their accounts of the Finances and business operations of the flank, at stated periods. Out of the profits annually a sum will be placed apart to meet continl:encies, and it is stipulated in the articles of Asso,iiation that no dividend shall be paid exceeding 9 per cent. per annum, until thin sum reaches £lOO,OO i, or such other sum as may be hereafter deemed expedient; it is also stipulated therein, that no advances shall be made on mines, Machinery, or doubtful or speculative securities, nor upon any ease of security not easily negotiated, or of a perishable nature.

We are very far from being afraid of war—we are in it ; we know what it is like—and tho2o who openly, brazenly, infamously, aid our enemies and mike war for them shall also learn, let it cost what it may. England hopes to cover the world's oceans with pirates, with murder, rapine, and robbery—to exaggerate still more the horrors of war—and yet deems that her commerce will escape! This is a dlforent matter from the affair of the Trent." It never seems to strike the minds of such men as Mr. Walker, the sage and philosopher, who believes that New Yolk is destined in 20 years to be the " social, financial, commercial, and moral centre of the universe," that the real criminal, if there be any criminality in the matter, is the American Govern ment, which has abundant means to purchase scores of vessels as swift and as powerful as the Alabama and the Florida, and which rather than incur the expense sends out ancient tubs under Admiral Wilkes and others, that make their seven or eight knots an hour where the Alabama and Florida can make 16. For every Alabama possessed by the Confederates the Federals, if they pleased, might have 10, and the same impartial shipbuilders of the Clyde and the Mersey who take the orders of the small cus tomer would be still more delighted to enter into commercial relations with the great one, if the Go vernment, instead of instructing its friends and hangers-on to abuse England, would only display half as much common sense as it displays passion, and meet the Confederates on the sea with the same adaptation of means to ends as it employs on the land. If it confront brave armies with brave armies, why not chase fast ships with ships that are still faster ? Nor is it only this cause of offence that rankles in the minds of the Government and people. The eagerness with which the Confederate Loan has been taken up in England and France is a barbed and poisoned arrow that accounts for much of the "fierce indignation" on which Mr. Walker expatiates. And so openly do people talk of war with England, and so confidently do some of the leading Generals and politicians anticipate it, that the gentle Gen. Butler, late of New Orleans, has offered his services to the Government to head an expedition of 20,000 men for the invasion of Ireland, should Mr. Lincoln deem it necessary to resort to the extremity which his organs so presumptuously threaten. It is not plea sant to speculate on nab a huge scandal as a war between Great Britain and America, provoked by the latter to revenge an offence which, at the most, amounts to want of sympathy; but were the shame ful deed once done, it would be highly pleasant to every true Englishman to speculate on the probable fate of Gen. Butler and every Irishman who might be induced to follow him in the desperate venture. The General himself, not being, or ever having been, a British subject, might suffer no worse fate than capture or the soldier's death in the battle-field, but if the tragedy of Mumford were not repeated on a large scale upon the Irish survivors of the conflict, it would be owing to the mercy of the British Govern ment and people, and not to any lack of example de rived from the life, career, and teachings of Benja min F. Butler. _ _ _ The barbarous destruction of the city of Jackson ville, in Florida, has excited but one feeling of reprobation and disgust, not wholly because it was wanton, but because it was inflicted upon friends as well as foes. The town is the same which was re cently occupied by the negro brigade under Colonels Higginson and Montgomery; but it does not appear from the published accounts t hat the negroes had any hand whatever in the outrage. The Tribune, which narrates the facts at greater length than any other journal, throws the blame entirely upon two Yankee Regiments from Maine and Connecticut, and declares that t he negroes merely looked on "as silent specta tors of the splendid but sad spectacle." If soldiers of the Union army when ordered for military reasons to evacuate a beautiful city where it would give them pleasure to remain, ebome to vent their displeasure against their officers and their vengeance against the people whom it would have been their delight to rob and oppress, by setting fire to churches, public buildings, hotels, and private houses, and indulging. themselves in every kind of diabolical riot and de batrhery, the war has lasted too long for the cha racter of the American people. The narrator of the story in the Tribune, who denounces the atrocity as it deserves, asks, " Is not this war—vindictive— unrelenting war ?" The reply of every honest man will be that it is vindictive and unrelenting, but that it is not war at all, but savage murder, robber 4 y, and arson. The same writer winds up his queries ' by asking his countrymen, " whether they have not gotten up to the European standard ?" He has yet to learn that no European nation whatever would tolerate such an outrage on the part of its troops ; that Europe never had such a stan dard since the darkness of the Middle Ages was dispelled by the light of Christian and civilised opinion. At the great war meeting held to receive Gen. Butler at the Academy of Alusic, and to strew with metaphorical roses the pathway of that amiable hero, it was observed that at least one half of the audience were ladies. At the great peace meeting held at the Cooper Institute a few evenings after wards only one lady was present. How are these facts to be explained ? Are the ladies, the church and chapel going ladies of New York, so thoroughly imbued with the ideas of blood, gunpowder, and extermination, instilled into their minds by their clerical teachers, that they have no hearts for gentle peace ? Or do their husbands and fathers make so much money by the war that, in consideration of the silks, the satins, the Cashmere shawls, the jewelry, the carriages, the opera-boxes, and the largely augmented pin-money which they receive from their prosperous natural protectors, their senses are dulled to the consideration of the horrors which the very name of war implies, especially of a war against mon of their own race, blood, country, and language ? Whatever be the reason, it is not agreeable to reflect upon. Jacksonville and all its elegant buildings are given to the flames. Every woman and child are removed from Charleston, to be out of the reach of danger should the Federals fulfil their threat of not allowing one stone to stand upon another in that doomed city. The women of Richmond clamour for bread, and break open the Government stores to obtain it, or die; and the vast region from the Potomac to the Rio Grande is a scene of privation and suffering to women as well as of heroism in men. But only one woman of New York was to be found to grace with her pre sence an assembly that met together in the sacred cause of peace and conciliation, while at least 2,000 were glad to come together in their gayest array and with their sweetest smiles to do honour to such a man as Butler ! It is bad enough that war should demoralise men—infinitely worse when it demo ralises women—and makes hard those hearts that nature intended should overflow with mercy and all kindly sympathies. The preliminary measures for the enforcement of the conscription have made little progr ess ; neither have the persuasive proclamations of the President and the Governors of the several States been very successful in inducing deserters to return to the camp. Although since the Ist inst. every deserter has rendered himself liable to be shot, the penalty has only been inflicted on one individual—far away in some obscure village of the west—so far away es to be almost beyond the knowledge and quite be yond the sympathies of the soldiers in the more Po pulous and busy E ast. The Government is stron g l y urged to make a few examples in Now York and Boston, but hesitates to shed blood. The Irish, upon whose aid the Government so greatly depends for recru iting its armies, are not only vi o l ent l y oppose d to the conscription, but they constitute a large pro portion of the deserters, who have seen and felt the t om- ~~~ PRICE..... -...4d. STAMPED ....ad. I liberty also, and think it hard that in the new coun try whither they have come to enjoy it they should be subjected to a forced conscription which they never heard of in the old. As a rule the Irish jour nals are Democratic, and opposed both to the . war and to the Administration. One of them, published in this city, under the title of the Metropolitan Re cord, has rendered itself conspicuous by its able opposition to the unconstitutional acts of the Go vernment. It bore, until a few weeks ago, under its main title the words, " Official organ of the Most Reverend the Archbishop of New Yak." It appears, however, that D Hughes—who was sent to Europa last year by Mr. Seward, with Bishop M 11 vraine and Mr. Thurlow Weed, to mar wove and manage public opinion so as to detach it, if postib:e, from the cause of the South—has become alarmed at the conduct of his organ with reference to the conscription, which it denounces as uncon stitutional and oppressive, and particularly unjust to the poor man. He has, therefore, caused his name to be removed from the Metropolitan Record, which now appear as a " Catholic family journal ;" and boasts no archiepiscopal sanction. The Archbishop is far above the fighting age, and, therefore, runs no risk of the conscription; but a large number of the Roman Catholic priests in his diocess are much under 45, and must personally serve if draughted, or find substitutes. To a poor priest—no better paid in gene ral than a day labourer or mechanic-300 dole. is a sum too fabulously large to ba provided, except per haps at the expense of his parishioners. Hence it fol lows that the working Roman Catholic clergy are opposed to the conscription, though the Archbishop, radiant in the approbation and esteem of Mr. Seward, is in its favour ; and that the Metropolitan Record has retained the confidence of the poorer clergy and the bulk of the Irish population, while forfeiting that of the Primate of the Church. These facts having been freely commented upon in the Dubuque Herald, edited by an Irishman, the Archbishop has thought it necessary to explain his position. In a letter to the editor of a New York paper he denies having taken any part in politics, except to fulfil in spirit and to the letter his oath of allegiance to the Go vernment of the United States; and expresses his conviction that if a conscription had been resorted to 20 months ago in the North " the results would have been of more humane consequence to both sec tions than they are to-day." It is to be inferred from this somewhat vague utterance that the Archbishop is of opinion that the North would not have submitted to a conscription at that time, and that if it had ban attempted the people would have stopped the war P It is possible that this is his meaning, for he con cludes his letter by stating that all his predictions ever entertained in thought or expressed in words have been too truly verified in the results of this unhappy war. "The only difference," he adds, 'is that be thought that by early propositions of con ciliation the war might either have been prevented, or that its duration might not have been protracted so long." The Archbishop's English is somewhat obscure; but it would seem, all things considered, that, although he favours the conscription, he still more greatly favours peace. This is much more than can be said for the Beechers and Cheevers and the other preachers of blood ; and is decidedly more consistent with his sacred function than the relent less ravings of too many of his Presbyterian and Evangelical brethren. ~~ TH E oxl- , ORD, C, OXFORD STREET.

TIDIES. —Mr. Cobden embarked last night on the very old attempt to measure and enforce a moral duty by appeals to self-interest. It is without a question that common humanity, Act of Parliament, and international law forbid any d irect and palp able assistance in the wars of other countries. Mr. Cobden assumes that, for some ream or other, the British Government has not been as prompt as it might have been to enforce this obligation, and that it ree-;res the additional stimulus of an appeal to its prudence and the instinct of self preservation. If we require Mr. Cobden to give ()over' went some crcdie for an honest desire to do their duty in this matter, we must also give him credit for having no other end in view, though we certainly could wish that his argument embraced all the facts of the question, all that has been done here, whether for Federals or Confederates, and all the forms and modes in which actual assistance has been rendered to the two causes. To the first sen timents of honour and religion it is utterly hateful to give two parties in a civil war the means of mu tual destruction ; and in that point of view it is less odious to be a partisan, and to mix sympathy with profit, than to care nothing for the question and deal with one or both of the belligerents simply for lucre. Mr. Cobden's tone implies that England is guilty of the more honourable error, and that our deep and ineradicable aristocratical prejudices have disposed both Government and large classes among us to side with the Confederates, and to connive at irregular but scarcely secret aid to their cause. This supposition we believe to be unfounded. Wo are compelled by our sense of truth to take a less com plimentary view of the conduct of the British people as regards the American civil war. We see, indeed, the great mass of the people talking a good deal about it, and profoundly impressed with the feel ing that the American Government and the North ern States are engaged in a struggle for empire which has no prospect of success; but when we look to facts, we find this supposed sympathy with Secession to end in mere talk. We have not yet heard of a single British subject willingly fighting in the Confederate armies; and, certainly, no per suasion or inducements, no facilities or promises would succeed in enlisting one Englishman, Irish man, or Scotchman to set sail to assist in the de fence of Charleston, or Vicksburg, or Richmond. Nor has there been any attempt to ennoble and con secrate Secession by exalting it above the common rank of human motives. No recruits have been raised, no crusade has been preached, in behalf of the Confederates. But recruits have been raised, levies have sailed, a erased() has been preached, and Heaven publicly invoked for the Federal cause. Not only many thousands of men fresh from the British allegiance, but men who had never left these islands, have been induced to join a cause which a certain instinct told them was antagonistic to the British Government and nation. For the rest, and going out of the sphere of political passions and prejudices, our manufac turers and merchants have supplied all the material of war with a most impartial indifference to both sides, and evidently with no other hope than to make a large profit. Such is the matter of fact view blockade, mo lesting trhAoai. itrE.ei\L: of the case, but it is not Mr. Cobden's. Even if this gentleman dealt fairly with his own argument of interest, he would be bound to reprobate all .u cle; Aoa t the rrd. redressso o nb-e. monstrations of feeling on either side, and all actual o s f i assistance to either by supplying sentiment, much less the irrcpressibolen : 3 /node of as war.

NEW YORK, April 10, The long -expected attack on Cnarleston has corn menced. The only accounts as yet received arc from telegraphic despatches to the Richmond journals, which are allowed to pass the Federal lines at the Rappahannock under 11.!gs of truce. The Federal Government at Washington denies having received official or any other notification of the facts. It ap pears that on Wednesday last four of the iron-clad Monitors entered Noah Edisto inlet, 16 miles by Lind from the city; that a detachment of General Hunter's army occupied Steno, and that another portion of the iron-clads had, after one unsuccessful attempt to cross the bar at the entrance of the har bour, made a second with better fortune, and an chored in deep water. On Thursday the bombard ment of Sumter was commenced by nine ironclad Monitors, and lasted for several hcurs without visi ble effect on that fortress. Two of the ironclads— the Ironsides and the Keokuk—were disabled by the Confederate fire. The former was successfully withdrawn out of range of the guns, and the latter sunk on the beach off Morris Island. The Devil, a newly-constructed machine for removing torpedoes and other submarine obstructions and de fences, was also destroyed. On Friday the engage ment was not renewed. This news, supposing it to be authentic, does not look very promming for the Federals. Nevertheless, Mr. Lincoln and his Minis ters are represented as being full of confidence that Charleston will be taken ; and that the great ques tion of ironclad ships against land defences and sub marine batteries and obstructions will be triumph antly decided in favour of the former. But the confidence of these gentlemen proves nothing. They are always confident, always hopeful, always certain of speedy success, and never permit them selves to despair or doubt of the fortunes of that Republic which they have so grievously misman aged. The Confederates, on the other hand, are re presented as not being at all sanguine of their ability to defend the city against the ironclads, though fully prepared to see it levelled with the ground rather than surrender. Whatever be the result, the and fall of musttheywillabundantlyin deed,fightingthatthe Mobile immediately sh are it s f a t e , w ill shouldqualities ' b a i r 1 e i m m s eton immortal ta en humble or subdue them, or aid in any appreciable degree to bring the war to a conclusion. Should success attend the efforts of the Federal Government in this direction, and the old flag float once again over Fort Sumter, the people and Government of Great Britain should be prepared to receive from Mr. Seward some diplomatic in sults which will be hard to bear. The Govern went and the people of the North only await a great victory somewhere or other, and, if it be not at Charleston, it is hard to say where it can be, to assume a position with regard to the de predations of the Alabama and the Florida which will provoke unpleasant controversy, if nothing, worse. The Administration makes no secret of the fact that it is in a tad temper with Europe but especially with England. Semi-official reports and correspondence from Washington declare that the relations between the United States and Great Britain are more delicate and critical than they have been at any time since the affair of the Trent; that the depredatiuns of the Alabama and the Florida are due in a greater degree to the guilty connivance of the British Government than to the cupidity of British speculators ; and that if any more vessels of the same kind succeed in leay. lag the Mereey or the Clyde, the President will issue letters of marque and cover the ocean with American privateers, even though the result should be a war betw een t h e two cou n t r i es. The disclosures made by p rom i nen t me mb ers o f the have o t f tended the ed greatly t o Government t o abuse England. In this country , w h ere t h e Irish Con servative and Demo cra ti c party t o L or d L yons, and the publication by th e B rit i sh G overnment of his d Lordship's despatches, in crease the disple asure of M r .

At the meeting for the relief of the distress in Ireland —distress which the Irish-Americans as well as the native-born Yankees persist in attributing to the cruel oppression of the B r itish Government, thi s feeling was loudly displayed. The address of the Knights of St. Patri c k, under whose auspices the meeting was organised, described Ireland as natu rally " the richest and fairest land on the earth," only rendered otherwise by British misgovernment. The name of the Queen of England was received with hisses, and when Judge Daly, one of the speakers, was expatiating on the evils caused by absenteeism he was interrupted by a " venerable person," who called out in a laud voice, "Give England a dash !" " No," said the Judge, " my venerable friend is wrong; the time has not yet arrived for that." The inuendo and the promise were received with immense applause. " The Amerielne," said Judge Mackeon, at the same meeting, " were a charitable race, and ho would only refer in proof of the fact to the efforts made a few months ago for the relief of the poor of England.', A storm of hisses immediately arose from every part of the house, and silenced all further allusion to the ungrateful topic. Later in the evening General F. T. Meagher, once known in Ireland as "Meagher of the Sword," declared that the woes of Ireland were registered to the final chastisement of England. The audience, both male and female, expressed their exuberant delight by cheers and wavings of hindkerchiefs. The press overflows with denunciations of the English Government and people, and with taunts at the "gross ingratitude" of a nation which has been rescued from starvation by American charity. One of the most violent of these declaimers is the Hon. Robert J. Walker, who once held the position of Secretary of the Treasury, and aspires to hold it again, should Mr. Chase by any chance be elected President in sue cession to Mr. Lincoln. This gentleman expresses himself as follows in the Continental Monthly, of which he is editor:— "England is now building, in the cause of sla very and for the South, a great fleet of ironclad pirate N essels, which are intended to prey on our commerce. How long will it be before retalia- tion on England begins, and when it begins how will it end P Ay—how will it end P It is not to be supposed that we can long be blinded by such a flimsy humbug as a transfer to Southern possession of these vessels ' for the Chinese trade !' Are the English mad, demented, or besotted, that they sup pose we intend to endure such deliberate aid of our enemies When those vessels ' for the Chinese' are afloat, and our merchants begin to suffer, let Eng land beware ! We are not a people to stop and reason nicely on legal points, when they aro en forced in the form of fire and death. Better for England that she weighed the iron of that fleet pound for pound with gold, and cast it into the sea, than suffered it to be launched. Qui fucit per altum, fad, per Be. England is the real criminal in this business, for her Government could have pre vented it ; and to her we shall look for the responsi bility.

Fhe whole nation, escept the etroeg Federalists, will agree with Mr. Cobden in the impropriety and impolicy of taking a side beyond the inevitable partisanship of sentiment and talk. England is most undoubtedly interested in the principle at stake. She has the largest commerce in the world, and is therefore the most obnoxious to any irregular and piratical attack issuing froth professedly neutral ports. But no good is done by denouncing partisan ship in the spirit of a partisan, and selecting for special reprobation the particular assistance which happens to be more necessary to one belligerent than the other. Mr. Cobden wishes to serve truth, justice, and peace; he wishes also to serve his country ; he wishes still more to serve the Federal cause. In the interest of all three causes we beg to suggest to him an inquiry in which he may be most usefully employed, but which may befits even his acuteness and penetration. How is it that, with all the resources of the Federal Government at his command, Commodore Wilkes, who has exhibited so much daring and skill against our ships, is per fectly powerless, if not idle, against the Alabama ? DAILY NEWS —The Court of Queen's Bench on Wednesday last decided that a child under ten years of ago is a "person." The judgment was not arrived at without the gravest doubt and hesitation, and it was to the scrupulous conscience of the Judges a matter of avowed satisfaction, that if they were in error there were two other courts before which the same ouestion could still be tried. The sum at stake upon the determination was indeed not large. It amounted in the case before the court to no more than sixpence. But although de mini mis non curat lex, is a well known brocard of law yers, yet in the eye of the law a legal principle is never a trifling matter. In the present instance the doubt arose out of an Act of Parliament—an Act in the passing of which the Legislature took a more than ordinary, because personal interest. It Was in fact the Cab Act, passed half a dozen years ago under the auspices of the late Mr. Fitzroy, and inaugurated by a strike of the cabs in the metro polis, which reached even to the Palace-yard rank, and reduced hon. members to the necessity for several nights of making their way home on foot. But, besides that immediate inconvenience, this famous statute made, by the ingenuity of its obscurity, provision for a successive crop of dis putes between the public and their masters, the cabdrivers. It is one of these disputes that has just attained to the highest judicial interpretation. The Act directs that in computing the fares due, when more than two persons are carried, two chil dren under ten years of age shall count as one per , son. But how when there is only one child? The Act being silent on this case, the public argued that as two children only amounted to one person, a single child could not amount to the same, since that would involve the mathematically absurd pro position that one is equal to two. 'The cabbies, on the other hand, contended that humanity could not be annihilated by implication, and that, therefore, though two children might by Act of Parliament be reduced to the value of one, yet that a sentient being, by every system of philosophy, was en titled to be called " a person" when no enactment expressly affirmed the contrary. Between these opposite deductions from mathematics and from philosophy the Police Magistrates were placed in a dilemma. They naturally decided in different ways, and for some years it has depended on the locality in which the cab was discharged whether the extra sixpence was held due or not. At last the Queen's Bench has been appealed to, and has, as we have seen, left the matter almost as open to ' litigation as it found it. Its own opinion favours the philosophical view, that even one child is " a person," but it recommends that other courts should be called on to review a decision the soundness of which it openly doubts, Here is, indeed, a quarrel in a straw Can any one compute how many hun dreds of pounds, in costs, in waste of time, in dis traction of mind, have been spent in bringing to u no decision this question of sixpence? Perhaps some one will suggest that none but fools would care to debate it, and that it signifies little how fools spend their money and time. But this species of folly, which breaks out in refusing to submit to an illegal exaction, however trifling in arnoun', is very potent in our nglish blood, end has done great things in the history of the English nation. Hampden's re fusal to pay the 20s. of ship-money assessed upon his lards was the folly which hastened on the issues of the Great Rebellion. The American refusal to pay Is. on the pound duty on tea was the folly which founded the United States. Parliament has renounced all care for great questions of State, for important. Reforms, or constitutional improvements. It has ample leisure to devote itself, if so inclined, to the small amendments of which our code stands so grievously in need. The energy it showed in discussing the Poaching Bill shows that it can work if it chooses. We humbly beg, then, that it would condescend to look over its work for the last few years, and explain a little more clearly what it meant by several of its provisions. It will gain by the process not only instruction but credit, and it will achieve the satisfaction, one which has not often of late fallen within its experience, of know ing that it has been of some real service to the State.

In the course of excavating the roadway for the above purpose, in Bridge-street, the men came upon an extraordinary mass of stone, iron, and other substances, appwenily having been subjected to the action of fire, which Mr. Stephens at once had carefully rem:Ned. From the position in which these remains were found it is believed they must have belongrd to some large,of and ancient structu-e, which sood upon the ban ks the Old Fleet, and a deal of interest has been manifested in eDnsequeLee.
