'The best proof of the efficacy of these arguments is given in the circumstance of a man called Wilson, blind from infancy, writing accounts of the "lives of fifty-four blind men and women, all of whom had attained some degree of eminence." Such chronicles are always interesting and impressive, and serve to illustrate that there is a silver lining to every cloud.

This company is established for the purpose of acquiring the business and connections of ex , sting provincial Bank ing Establishments and of carrying on, generally, the opera tions of Country Banking on the Joint-Stock principle. Treaties are now pending for tbe purchase of some private and joint-stock country establishments, which will form the basis of a large and flourishing bank ; and, for that purpose, Hull powers for the increase of capital have been taken in the rticles of Association. It is not proposed to do any banking business in London ; but in addition to acquiring the go odwill and business con nections of ex , sting banks, I . is intended to open branches In provintial cities and towns where, owing to the increase of wealth and population, a satisfactory business can be esta blished. The recent amalgamation of tw ) of the largest private banks in London with joiiit stock establishments, fo:lowing .other combinations of a sim ilar nature, and the continuous advance in the price of banking s h a res generally, afford con clusive evidence of the advantages of the principle of joint stock association in banking business. If the system of banking carried on by public companies is admitted to be so advantageous in London, where the pri vate establishments are generally large and wealthy, it can not be a matter of doubt that the principle is still more ap . plicable to the country, where the resources and credit of private firms are much more limited. The increase, also, et trade in the country genera ly has crea ed a demand for fur ther banking, accommodation, while it is only in the metro polis that the requirements of the mercantile community have been adequately considered. The Shares of the three Banks in London constituted for Niiiiitar objects are now quoted as follows, viz. : Paid. Present Prices. The National Provincial ........ £l2 Zl4 The London and County...... 24 at , The Provincial Bank cf Ireland.. 25 In further illustration of the profitable character of the business of the forty-one Joint-stock Ranks established en"- jog the past three years, it will be found on inspection ot the offi c ial list that, out of that number, the shares of all but two are saleable at a considerable advance on their paid-up capital. Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be obtained at the Temporary Office of the Company, or of the Brokers or Sol citors. The Articles of Association may be ecen at the Office of the Solicitors. THE PROVINCIAL BANKING CO IiPOR A.TION (Limited).

PROSPECTUS. j The Eastek ll he n Exchange Bank (Limited), is formed to supply a want which has been long felt, and its valneivvisimme diate y recognised. .Althouo Liverpool enjoys an immense write and import trade, anti is the port through which the valuable manufac tures ot Lcashire and Yorkshire pass, it 11.8 not a sinl Bank connected w,th the Mediterranean. the East Ind ie s , aitga, or Australia. The exports of British and Irish produce and manufactures - ter the above countries for the ar 1863 amounted to about f o rty millions, and by far they reater portion was shipped from Liverpool, whilst the produce received in return into Liverpool was of ava ue or upwards of sixty millions, making a total of one hundred millions sterling. Wh il s t London has upwa rds of fifty Banks, with branches in different countries, established for the purpose of affording every facility in Exchange transactions, there is no Bank pi this description, with its head-quarters in Liverpool, con nected with the East. The profitable natu re of Exchange business is we': 1 known; and the practice which has become so general of attaching • Bills of Lading to Bills of Exchange renders this the safest description of Banking business. ':, • Some evidence of the safety and profitable character of the business is afforded by the present values of the undermen tioned Banks, whose chief s ources of profits are in counection with Exchange operations. .

" Chronicles of Carlingford" brings a crisis to the fortunes of the Perpetual Curate, and after having no instalment last month, we enter upon a most momentous epoch in his career. In the first place, he is put upon his trial, and Mr. Morgan developes his posses sion of the qualities of malice and revenge to an extraordinary degree. The scene in the vestry which describes the little assembly in full conclave is very ably sketched, and displays some of those traits of character which go far to make up the great scenes of life, and to create the awkward and unpleasant situations from which so many sutler. The next number of these Chronicles Rill, it is to be presumed, bring our hero triumphantly out of the maze of difficulties by which he is now surrounded. " Forsyth's Life of Cicero" is an impressive article, that will well repay perusal, affording seine interesting reflections on the character of a man whose name must be for ever memorable, and whose chequered career supplies us with an instance of the vanity and instability of all worldly great ness. Great stress is justly laid in summing up the chief peculiarities of Cicero's nature, on hilt ltimentable, want of courage. He lived in days when such a want, was a very marked deficiency, and could not be compensated for by the presence of many other most desirable attributes. It is well observed, here, that the quality of " manliness" in which he was deficient, might n'at have been so apparent in its absence, in his own days, for it was " fist dying out ;" but " without that quality, to an English mind no man is recognised as the true philosopher or hero." 'lt is a most suggestive study to turn occasionally to the review of the lives of the departed worthies of all climes and ages. Some tb,ipg profitable . nnistperforce pet tie from the contemplation of those careers that Piave influenced their own generation so considerably, and left an impression on all after times. Mr Forsyth appears to have rendered full justice to his sub. ject, and it is here remarked that Cicero never dreamed that his life would be written by a " British Barrister." " Tony Buticr" is continued, but does not bring the hero at all before us, in this division. We are treated to a great deal of Mr. Norman Maitland's company, and that gentleman is not at all an agreeable acquaintance, despite his assumed freedom and his airs of consequence. Some Italian scenes are adroitly put before us, and there is every possibilty of some esclan* e shortly taking place. Mrs. Rafford disappoints one by her persis tent devotion to this objectionable man, and appears very likely to get herself involved in some awkward transaction by her pertinacious meddling with matters which do not concern her at all. "A Song of Matrimonial Matters" is a succinct sketch, which presents the reader with different phases of courtship and marriage. It is written in a very lively style, which may serve to amuse the reader who likes and is pleased with satirical allusions. "A Groan over Corfu" is a light, readable paper, which records the sorrows of an old Corfiote who deeply grieves at the loss of the Seven Isles. The writer indulges in no moody tone, however, and makes no foreboding prophecies. Hence the lovers of pro gress may accord a gracious reception to his murmurs, espe cially as he winds up his dissertation with the cheering as surance that the sympathies of Christendom are with the Greeks, and that the very rivalries of nations seem to wait on their uprising. We shall not find reason to mourn over our own loss if it issue in their well-doing. " The Great Indian Question" takes up a subject which is now-a-days a very important cue, engrossing the attention of many by its arduous details and complicated bearings, A very fair judg- , ment seems to have been given in this instance, and the conduct of Sir Charles Wood is deservedly censured.. Cornelius O'Dowd continues his animated remarks on " Men and Women and Things in General," bringing before us an infinitude of subjects, good, bad, and indifferent, as the case may be, but all treated with the same vivacity of description. " How to Make a Novel" is a clever skit of the sensational romances now so much in vogue ; and in these stirring verses we meet with much truth, though it is clad in the guise of me taphor. The last article is on " The Position of the Minis try," and, of course, does not take a very hopeful view of the prospects of the occupants of the Treasury benches. A gra phic sketch is given of the chief points of our foreign policy and our diplomatic exploits, all tending, of course, to the same direful and disgraceful end. There ie, unforta • nately, no need for fancy to aid the account. or for exaggera tion to influence the language of political opponents, when Ministers go out of their way to perform such actions as those which have scandalised the people at home and excited the amaze and contempt of the nations abroad. The concluding passage relative to Lord Palmerston is very effective. It tells how he has outlived his popularity, and persists in being in power to the great detriment of his reputation. Rather than resign, he becomes a roi faineant Truly is it stated that the interests of the country suffer by such a course. Altogether, a very correct notion of the existing state of things is given in this article, thus ap propriately concluding a number that possesses more than the average amount of attraction in its contents. events. FRASER.— Fraser this month is more than usually attractive, for there are several very interesting and readable articles. We have a notice of " Carlyle's Frederick the Great." It is remarked that, as especially characteristic of Carlyle's History, he holds it as a doctrine that "kings, and generals, and statesmen, whatever may have been their virtues or de merite, were at least living persons. There is, perhaps, a certain mannerism in the constant reference to the gun powder complexion of Leopold of Dessau, or to the promi nent eyes and small stature of George 11. ; but Mr. Carlyle's very oddities have a purpose in reminding his readers that men are men, and not bundles of contradictions, or even of abstract qualities." The second paper, on " French Life," is as lively and agreeable as the first. It shows our conti nental neighbours in their dramatic circles. It is very seldom that a traveller takes us into the real private life of Parisians, and is consequence many untravelled English men and women are slow to believe that there is such a thing as family life at home in Paris. " Lady Cowper's Diary," which brings back to us all the petty intrigues of the court of George 1., is noticed at some length. Mr. De Vere's Poems form the subject of a well-written article, which is enriched with extracts copious enough to give the reader unacquainted with his works a fair idea of the graces and deficiencies of the poet. " The Pleasures of Difficulty" is the title of an essay of vigorous and stirring character, which boldly tells its readers that " the doctrine which appears to be very commonly :tpceived, that work and difficulty are absolutely evils, and t h a t ose and indolence are absolutely blessings, must, if seriously ,:mtertained, be destructive of all happiness." The style of the al:icle is somewhat heavy, but its moral is un doubtedly sound. Readers of Fraser will be glad to meet again their old friend b.. *Lel favourite, A. li, H. 8., although the essay now before us is no means among his best. It .!)3 7 is called "A Reminiscence o; the Old 'Time; being some Thoughts on Going Away," andthough it draws pleasant and lite-like pictures enough, it does not deal much with the deeper things of life. The opening chapters of a new story, entitled " Gilbert Rugge," premiss well for the future. It is by the author of "A First Frienjship," and even in the opening instalment shows signs of being an eventful and complicated history. BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY,—The story of the; changeful fortunes of John Law, the great financier, from the brilliant pen of the editor, occupies as usual the most prominent place in this magazine. Law is just now at the height of fame, wealth, and power, favoured by the Regent, and courted by all, while crowds are thronging to give any price for the shares inhis schemes, The reverse of the picture is probably at hand. Meanwhile those who follow the romantic part of the story will be in terested to note the reappearance of Belinda, the beautiful wife of the jealous old man who was believed to have fallen a victim to her husband's unjust suspicions. The other stories in the number are both instalments. Mr. Dudley Costello continues his history of Mr. Grimshaw's adventures, and Mrs. Bushby proceeds with the ;Danish translation. In the latter we fear the hero will prove by no means worthy of the affection felt for him. " The Virgin Forest" carries us to the wilds of South America, and curiously enough another paper notices at length a work on " Men and Things in Uruguay." The writer remarks that as it is probable that the tide of emigration towards the United States will soon be checked, the vast idle tracts of fertile land in the southern half of the great western world are worthy of attention. "All the World's a Stage" is a pleasant enough article, on an old but never trite moral, It is curious among the various citations of philosophic and poetic discourses on this text to find the very same thought re-appearing in different forms in the works of Epietetus, of Robert Hall, and of Archbishop Trench, yet withuut plagiarism, from the difference of the application. COLBURN'S NEW MONTIILY.—In an article on "Life in the Parana," acomparison is drawn between the progress of Buenos Ayres, founded in 1837 by Mendoza; New York, a mere port in 1615, and Sydney an irregular village in 1810. '' Yet," says the writer, whih commenting on the diff,rence, "all the dvantage:_4 of position, climate, and N3ources were immea surably in favour of the mighty La Plata." The second part of the interesting essay on "The Ballads and Tradi tions of Northern Europe" continues to trace the relation ship between some of our simple nursery tales, and the grim old legends of the North. Edward Rowsell contri butes a paper on " Small Worries," troubles of universal ph. lsenc3, and we have an interesting criticism of a volume of Ati - aerica n characters poetry. " Strathmore " is continued in its accustonled style, and it is not di ffi cult to trace the same : weviously delineated by the author in other terms in the chief characters. Strathmore is a sterner and more guilty Granville de Vigne, while Greville is a gentler and less flippant A.Lua Tressillian. These two characters form his ideal hero atO h.eroitio—the hero a respectable fully re-enact Jena, in the north of Germany, as Austett litz was separated in the south at Solferino. A history the " Experiments of Sheeburyness," contains the resultt of the trials of the Whitworh and Armstrong 12-poundertil up to the present time. " The Military Engineerilag of ilhe' Ancients" is continued, and contains desatutions.-#f ancient Roman fortificatiolis in Engls.l4. as we 'tor-re marks on certain Peruvian construction of primeiral In section three of " The Soldier's Why and Because," by Lieutenant Steinmetz, we enter upon the principles of skirmishing dill, Captain W. Knollys furnishes the first instalment of a new tale entitled " Oswald lisstings, or the Adventures of a Queen's Aide-de-Camp." It is full of promise, and so far as we may yet judge of it, is evidently intended to be of a sensational and romantic character. The principal incident in the present chapter is the in troduction of a rather novel personage in fiction, namely, a mad dog. " Curiosities of Naval Literature" relate to ancient forms and customs in the Royal Navy, and con tains some sharp criticisms on the follies and fashions still extant in the service. " A Trip to Teneriffe" is con cluded. We have also a paper "On the Invasion of Den mark and the Political Crisis," and a summary of foreign TEMPLE BAR.—" The Doctor's Wife" becomes more developed in this portion of its contents, and all that occurs foretells a sad termination to the tale. There is no one to take an interest in, for Isabel is so dreamy and absurd, George so heavy and matter-of-fact, Roland so abstracted, and Lady Gwen doline so affected, Mr. Raymond is quite welcome in his downright straightforwardness, after ail their nonsense and vulgarity, but he is not free from blame. He ought not to have assisted in making the match between the ill-assorted young couple, and it was idle to expect a satisfactory result to follow from so false a beginning. In this story we meet with some of those delineations which have before now im parted such a life-like character to the previous works of this authoress. " Windsor, Thames-street" is the sketch put forward by Mr. Sala this month. It is a curious ac count, and many will be amazed to hear that those who live in the shadow of Royalty are little moved by its con cerns, but use becomes second nature to them. " A Girl's Love-song" is a very strange production, and the last verse especially is extraordinary in its supposed simplicity of expression. " Broken to Harness" gives an interesting account of Miss Lesden's marriage, and the fashionable aunt figures in a very discreditable way. This little roman tic episode gives a pleasant variety to the narrative, which ir , its previous chapters was somewhat monotonous in its tone. "Paid in Full" is the title of a story which promises something horrible in its course. There is an avenging spirit in the shape of a valet, who watches everything and reveals nothing. Some information imparted during the instalment before us seems to point out a dark passage in the career of Lord Elenburn. " Little versus Mickle" is a readable article that contains some thoughts worthy of no tice, and brings before the reader glimpses of that inner life which should never wholly be thrust aside in the bustle and turmoil of the world and its troubles. " A Visit to the Federal Army of the Potomac," and other subjects of in terc,,st, make up the remainder of the contents of this "nage: zinc. THE ST. JAMES'S MAGAZINE.—" The Man in Chains" is still the principal feature in the table of contents, and its unfortunate here is getting him self deeper and deeper into the toils of the money lender. Dr. Scoffern contributes a sensible article on sugar, from which the curious may extract much infor mation. "In Pursuit" is the title of a very amusing sketch. A London detective going to America after two feions, falls into company with a young Virginian planter cud his bride, who prove most agreeable fellow travellers. The sequel, as may be guessed, is the arrest of the interest ing couple by a sharper sighted detective, and the unfortun ate story-teller is laughed out of the service. Caroline White gives us a very cleaver botanical paper on " May Flowers," and the story of "Bertie Bray" proceeds in true novel-like fashion. MACMILLAN'S MAGAZINE.—The concluding letter from the " Competition Wallah" is the first and not the least interesting thing to meet the reader. This writer's shrewd sayings on men and things are always worth reading, but this month the article possesses an unusual attraction in the shape of an unpublished minute of Lord Macaulay's, written when he was President of the Committee of Public Instruction. The Minute in style and subject is worthy of the writer. It is an eloquent appeal in favour of our grand old mother tongue—the key to such wide and varied treasures of science and literature being taught in the Hindoo public schools, instead of the traditional Arabic Sanscrit. It seems strange that there should ever have been a doubt in the case, and if any lingers in the mind of the reader after per using this minute, ho must be very hard to convince. The original manuscript lies in one of the public offices of Cal cutta, with time and the white ants working upon it. " Unfold the packet, and every page teems with the vivid thought, the glowing fancy, the grand yet simple doctrine which has already became classic wherever the English tongue is spoken or the English literature studied." The writer of these letters is extreme in some of his views and sentiments, and of coarse his opinions are not to be accepted without reserve; but his epistles contain much truth and good sense, and are clearly the work of experience and a cordial interest in his adopted country. They deserve to be collected and reprinted, which we are glad to see is the case. The story of " The Hillyars and the Burtons" proceeds with increasing interest. Troubles seem thickening round all the party, and James Burton meets with a serious adventure. The idea of the family emigration is mooted for the first time, The Editor con tinues his "Recollections of Three Cities," and "Edinburgh as it Was" is vividly pictured. Goldwin Smith propounds a problem connected with the American war—Miss Cobb° takes us into the dismal crypt below the Dublin cathedral —lsa Craig tells the thoughts of " One in the Crowd" on the 10th of April—and Matthew Arnold, under the head of "A French Eton," discourses on the advantages of public schools for the lower and middle classes, and State action generally. The sixth part of "A Son of the Soil" shows us poor Colin still in his old perplexities, though beginning to wake from his love dream ; and the number terminates with a direful catastrophe, in which he is again instrumen tal in saving the life of his rival, as in the days of their impetuous boyhood. CORNHILL.—" Denis Duval" appears this time with its last instalment, and the reader will there fore have the mournful task of taking leave of one who has so long fascinated and charmed his leisure with his inimitable productions. The style is similar to the earlier productions ; and it is curious to observe that the concluding chapter hero met with is called The Last of my School-Days. It seems strange that the author, who was about to quit his busy career and lay aside his pen for ever, should thus.chronicle the termination of his hero's studies. " Garibaldi's Invi sible Bridge" is a spirited:account:of some episodes in his eventful career. It is sketched with animation, and will doubtless gain attention from the numerous readers who will wish to become acquainted with all the details of this remarkable man's life. " Thoughts on Half-liolidays" is a pleasing paper, that brings old scenes and endeared asso ciations before one, presenting us with an animated glimpse of the hours that are over to many, and still revelled in by hosts of enthusiastic spirits who go out to enjoy a holiday with all the zest that belong to lie's spring days. An interesting account is given a visit paid by a traveller to the school of bygone days. Old recollections overcome him, and he hastens away after asking for a " half -holiday for his juvenile successors," He leaves with their cheers ring ing in his ears, " much the same, it might seem, as that which pealed after him last time he left that play-ground as ex-head boy of the school, only that 40 years have joined eternity since then." But his looks are bent forward, that happy invalid old man, for he has spent life's school-days at his waster's feet, and now the long holidays are near, and then--" hurrah for home." , Some genial remarks are made o n the importance of these " halt holidays" to the toil worn and the weary. Too much stre ss cannot be laid on this point, and it would be well if em p lo y ers of all grades and classes would ponder on the lessons of wisdom that are GOOD WORDS.—Mrs. Ward's story of "Oswald Cray" proceeds with interest, but it is of a some what painful character. Casual observations, added to the treacherous man servant's malicious hints, confirm Oswald in his unjust suspicions concerning Dr. Davenal, and the coincidence of the mystery hanging over the doctor's head makes Lira herself give apparent testimony to her father's guilt. Still the conduct of Oswald is inexcusable, and the authoress apparently means to point a moral against pride and sullen reserve. The Editor's " Evenings with Working People" are con tinued, and the discourse this month is on the parable of the Prodigal Son. Dr. Vaughan contributes a paper ton "The Consecration of Common Things," and Principal Forbes has a Second paper on "The Antiquity of Man." Isaac Taylor gives at acoount of " Same of the Costa of War fr0m , 179540 18850—a6tatement which has to answer for some share,in our, national debt. 111r,.6-osse's "Year at the-Shore': proceeds to reveal to us, the' marine wonders discoverable in the month of Nay, and is illustrated with 'three drawings of the outlay's own.

The object of it all, is realised—namely, George Vavasor's selling the Brown Horse: selling it, as he does, at the end of the hunt, for a hundred and fifty guineas, to Mr. Maxwell. In the next chapter we hear a little more of Alice Vavasor's Great Relations—among others, about the Lady Glencora, now the wife of the nephew and heir to the Duke of Omnium, the Mr. Plantagenet Palliser, that is, of the " Small House at Allington." Finally, in the chapter completing this number, we have a good deal more fun ex tracted from the absurd rivalry (in the competition for the hand of that fair-fat-forty-Widow, Mrs. Greenow), of Lard-up Captain Bellfield, and rich vulgar Mr. Cheesacre, of Oileymead. The last sentence leaves the realer in ex pectation as to there ensuing between them (in the presence of Mrs. Greenow), of a scene of mutual defiance and recri mination. THE VOLUNTEERS. INSPECTION OF THE SECOND (SOUTH) MIDDLESEX. On Saturday evening some 4,000 or 5,000 persons assembled in Hyde•park to witness the annual in spection of this most efficient body of volunteers by Colonel INl'Murdo. The members of the corps, mustering eight cone panics of 21 file, under the command of Lord Rane lagh, Major Atherley, and Captain and Adjutant Turner, assembled shortly after half-past 5 o'clock at the Knightsbridge Barracks, whence, after hay. ing performed the usual preliminary movements, they marched, headed by the band and pioneers, to the parade ground near the Marble Arch. Colonel AP:Ward° having already arrived, the regiment was put through a series of evolutions, which we pre. same were of the usual character, being unable to gain admittance to the ground until most of them had been performed. We were only enabled to witness a few of the concluding movements, all of which were executed with remarkable precision, the wheeling square being so well performed as to elicit repeated exclamations of " Wonderfully good from the gallant colonel. The manoeuvres having been brought to a close, Colonel M'MURDO addressed the corps in the following terms :—" On the present occasion, I am happy to say, I have no fault what ever to find, and no observations to make upon your drill, except to express my entire satis• faction at what I have seen ; and I am sure that the unmerous old soldiers I have seen upon the ground to-day, as well as the volunteer officers of other corps who are present, will bear me out in my opinion that all your movements have been per formed with remarkable steadiness and regularity. I was glad to see that your commanding cfficer kept you constantly on the move, because in such a man ner all volunteer corps ought to be moved about ; and I may say the whole of your movements were perfect. I was also glad to sea there was one little mistake for me to catch hold of, and that was in one of the companies while changing front. That, how• ever, could scarcely be called a mistake, as it was merely a misapprehension of orders, but it tended to show me how easily you volunteers can recover yourselves. For a test of efficiency in drill, there is no doubt that the plain ground upon which you have been marching this evening is very good, but I would much rather see you inspected upon such ground as that upon which I met you on Easter Monday (Blackheath), when half of your horses were down on their knees at the same time, and am sorry to say accidents from falls did occur. But that description of ground, and not smooth parade ground, like this, belongs as much to you as the ocean—not the harbour water—belongs to the able seaman. I confess, satisfied as I am, I was even ' more satisfied with the steadiness of your move ments on that occasion. Drill on such ground as that at Blackheath is the real test of efficiency, although Punch said you did not on Easter Monday move in the walls with which you are accustomed. You may depend upon it that if ever yon are called upon to defend your country it will be on such ground as that, and not the parade ground of Hyde Park." The gallant colonel they proceeded to refer to the various evolutions which had been performed, all of which he characterised as thoroughly perfect, and concluded by stating that it would give him great pleasure to report to the Secretary of State for War the perfect state of efficiency in which he found the corps. The ground was efficiently kept by some 200 members of the Queen's Westminsters, but undue foree was, we may state, in some cases exercised by men who were certainly unfit for the task of dealing with a mob of that description, having apparently little or no control over their temper. In one instance a man, who had succeeded in cross ing the boundary to hear Col. M'Murdo's address, received a severe blow from the rifle of one of these men, who it appears was unable to bring him back again. THE GREAT EASTERN.—We are informed that the steamer Great Eastern has been sold to the French for a sum approaching a quarter of a million sterling This, however, will not interfere with her present engage ments, which include the submersion of the Atlantic cable. The Great Eastern was purchased at Liv er p ool at auctio n about three months ago for a sum of 05,000, but, as th e mortgage debentures had been previously , bought up, the total cost was probably £70,000 or 00,00 0 . There is, how ever a very handsome profit on the present transaction. At the time of the excitement in connection with the Trent affair this vessel took out a very large number of Engli s h troops to Canada at a single t ri p , and in view of her great capabilities for this and similar services, her present tran s fer altogether from English hands is regarded with regret in some quarters. It is rumoured that the purchase has been made on account of the French Government.
