More than thirty years have elapsed since any leading Bank has been establhhed in `co la , d ; and when the following circumstanvs are considered, viz., the extraordinary cleveloo • resent during this interval of the resource s of the country ; lb • extension of steam and railway communication ; the impruved cultivate , n an t va ate o' the land ; the almost wonderful gr , wth of some of the chief cities and towns, in populat.on, wel tit. and enterprise; and the fact that millions pass an nually be ween Scotland and the commercial Metrepolis of the World; coupled with the universally admied defic (-trey of direct b an ki ng accommodation between both cou,itri,-8 ; Sit w 11 be seen that the present is a peculiarly f svourable cp. ortunity for successf u ll y i ntrodu ing the London Bark of cotland (L mited), and securing it an extensive and profit able bu iness- All financial operations between Scotland and London are transacted through Agencies at considerable expense, time. and trouble, by far the largest proportion both of the Inland Bills in c rculation in the country, and alto the Foreign Bills drawnr upon G rea t B r i tain being made payable in London, gran I focu s t o whi:h the pecuniary • ransactions of the T -eirephis re are ulti ma t e l y b rought to be adjusted. advent pu Company will be enabled t o o fn r very considerable ges to the blic, in the uniform nd more l charge tor th e collection, transmission. a and liquidation economica of bills, money, exchanges, and other business transactions betwten 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 Bat ks possess this advantage ; and the Londcn Bank of Snot Lind is established to meet so great a monetary desi deratum. As corroborative of the necessity which exists for extended banking 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 Bo , rd of Trade show that the exports in the year 183 t amounted to £32,000,000, while in 186 5 they reach( d £1 5,842,8 7 ; and th ,t the aggregate value of the impo is in the y, ar 1854 (when first ascertained) was £152,389,0 3, which in 1859 amounted to .£179,. 82 35 ~ The home trade during the corresponding period developed itself to rat . xtent which it'is almost impossible to compiite Regarding these consider tions, and the still rapidly expanding commercial relations between Edinburgh, Glas- Xow, Aberdeen, Dundee, Perth, Inverness, Paistey, Stirling, and other important pla 'es in Scotland, with London, it has been decided in constituting thisß mnic to take powers too en Branches, as cir , umstances nay warrant, in the above cities and towns, commen.ing first in Edinburgh and Glasgow, With a Head Offic e in London.

Commander Strode declined to put in any claim, or accept any salvage for rescuing the pas sengers and their personal property. The passengers were on their way in the ship to Jeddah, and would have proceeded thence on a pilgrimage to Mecca. Respecting this refusal of Commander Strode's to accept any recompense from the people rescued, the Straits Times of Feb. 14 has the following para graph :—" We have been requested by Seyd Shffie, the charterer of the wrecked ship India, to express through our columns his best thanks to Captain C. Strode and all the officers and men of her Majesty's ship Vulcan for the extreme kindness with which himself, captain, and crew, as well as all the pil grims, were treated from the time they were first taken from the wreck until landed at Singapore The great liberality of the captain and crew of the Vulcan in refusing all recompense or salvage for their arduous services in saving the lives of these people deserve the warmest praise, particularly as there was a sufficient quantity of treasure saved to have afforded a handsome sum to every officer and man in the ship." A postscript in the same letter, dated on the fol lowing day, states that the ship was then unmoor. ing to proceed to Hongkong with naval supernu. meraries and stores. A letter received at Plymouth from the screw steam gun-vessel Penguin, 5, Lieut. J. G. 11P1lardy, states that she left Port Royal on February 3 for a cruise. On the 27th of March, whan off St. Lucia wharf Lighthouse, she fell in with the screw Stf am frigate Ariadne, 26. Edward 'V. Vansittart, which brought the ship's company a mail bag, and supplied the ship with provisions and coal. Both ships then put on full steam after a slave vessel. During the former cruise the Penguin had two North American uaddlea•htel steamships of war in chase, and, as Lieut. M'Hardy did not like to heave to, one of the d hips fired a shot across the Penguin's bows ; she then sent a boat to the stranger, the officers of which stated that they thought the gunvcssel was the Con tedsrate war steamer Alabama. The whole of the dockyard hands were yesterday removed from the Royal Oak, 35, 800 horse power, Capt. F. A. Campbell, preparing for sea at Chat ham, 100 labourers having been employed up to a late hour the previous evening in scrubbing down decks and preparing the vessel foz the crew, 600 in number, the whole of whom joined yesterday from the Naval barracks. Yesterday the mechanics commenced bolting the last tier of armour-plates on the port and starboard midship sides of the Achilles, at Chatham dock yard ; the seven tiers of armour plating which en case her sides are now carried from about 5 feet below her load water-line to her bulwarks. Dur ing the last few days about 500 hands have been released from the Royal Oak, on which they have been working for several months past, and the greater part of these have been placed on the Achilles, swelling the number of workmen, of all trades, employed on that vessel to upwards of 1,300. The hands engaged on the iron frigate now enter the yard at six o'clock, and continue working with only a few minutes' intervals for meals, until dark, not leaving the establishment till juet eight o'clock. Under the extraordinary exertions which are thus being made to complete this vessel astonishing progress is being made upon every portion of the ship, and there appears to be no reasons for doubting that she will be ready to be floated out of dock by the close of the present year. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty—Lieut. Chas. Hill and Lieut. D. D. Yonge to the Caracaa ; Thomas Pounds, master, to the Orestes; W. H. Oggard, paymaster, to the Orestes ; Robt. Williams, chief engineer, to the Liverpool; Henry C. Jones, engineer to the Fis gard, for the Enterprise; W. W. Christie, engi neer, to the Liverpool ; W. Inglis (b), Ist elves assist.-engineer, to the Pantaloon ; Cornelius H. Healey, 2d class assist.-engineer, to the Black Prince; and C. R. Lacy, H. J. Wilson, John For rest (b), Hugh London, and Wm. Hallowell, assist. engineers, to the Liverpool. THE ARMY. Yesterday Major-Gen. R. Rumley, Inspector- General of Infantry, commenced his half-yearly in spection of the battalions of infantry quartered at Chatham Garrison. The customary review and manoeuvres of the battalion did not take place, and the day was devoted by the Inspector-General to an examination of the kits, arms, accoutrements, .Sza., of the non - commissioned officers and men of the several depots. The inspection, which will extend over several days, will be resumed this morning. The 96th Regiment, which left Portsmouth on Feb. 15, on board the Himalaya, arrived at Simon's Bay, Cape of Good Hope, on March 12, after a splendid passage of 25 days. There were five births on board and one death. A detachment of Royal Marine Light Infantry, consisting of Capt. Elliott, Lieut. M'Neale, two sergeants, two corporals, one drummer, and 59 privates, left Woolwich y ester day for service on board the armour -cased ship Royal Oak. The remainder of the Royal Marines allotted for the Royal Oak will be supplied from the Marine Artillery. The Star of India, Capt. Morris, arrived at Spit head yesterday morning, from Bombay, with time expired men and invalids.

The spring campaign, NEW YORK, April 17. which has opened so un favourably f or th e F ederal cause at Charleston, does not pron-dse much su ccess i n any o th er p or ti o n of th e vast circumference over which its operations are ex tended. Mr. Lincoln, more suo, sees nothing for it but :o keep " pegging away" at the enemy, but, under such feeble management as his, " pegging" degenerates into " pEcking." Admiral Dupont has gained no laurels by " pegging" at Charleston. Admiral Farragut and Gen. Grant have " pegged away" in vain at the front and back doors of Vicks burg. Gan. Banks, instead of " pegging" at Port aurisen„haa,sunitbia hands as he can, well - noanage to defend New Orleans. Gen. Rosecrans is checkmated in Tennessee by Gen. Braxton Bragg, nd w.ll have to "peg away" not only with rare vigour, but rarer good fortune, to save Nashville. General Foster is cooped up in Washington, North Carolina, surrounded by a vastly superior force under General H. D. Hill; while General Hooker, who boasts that the army of the Potomac is " the finest army on the planet," is confronted by the same defiant and triumphant foe who at Fredericksburg shattered the ranks and almost broke the spirit of Gen. Burnside, and can not advance by that route to Richmond if he would, and would not if he could. Everywhere the Confe derates are in the highest health and confidence; and again the capital is in such danger as to threaten the North with a graver humiliation than the ill-fortune of war has yet inflicted. Even Baltimore is not considered safe, and new raids of the Confederates into Maryland and Pennsylvania are openly predicted, as soon as the spongy roads shall have hardened sufficiently under the rays of the spring and early summer sun to permit the passage of horse and artillery. The Northern people begin to be puzzled to ac count for this uniform failure of all the greatest schemes of their Government. They know, and have long deplored, that there are little brains at Washington. They admit that attorneys do not always make gocd Generals; that Gen. Halleck and Mr. Stanton are the two greatest failures of the North—far greater than Mr. Lincoln himself—and that a miserable peculation and corruption every• where prevail ; but they have never doubted, amid all their discouragements, that they have a large army, only requiring to be well led to be moderately successful. But even this foundation of hope for the future has failed them in their present need. They were assured three months ago that they had armies in the field amounting to 1,0'30,000 men. They were told only last week that their legions were at least 700,000 strong, and they know that pay is due and rations art, drawn for that number. With the spirit of a people who can calculate, if they can do any thing, they have taken to adding up numbers, and are asking one another " Where are our legions?" It is a simple sum in elementary arithmetic, and the resalts show roguery or robbery somewhere, or, if not these, the concealment of truths that ought to be known to every citizens if the Government fairly did its duty. General Hunter, charged with the land attack upon Charleston, was unable to co -ope rate with Admiral Dupont, because he had less than 14,000 —some accounts say less than 12,000 —men, negroes included, under his command, and because the Government at 'Washington, though urgently appealed to for reinforcements, was unable to spare him a single battalion to aid in a victory on which, above all others, it had set its heart. Gen. Banks is in an equally deplorable condition. He has not above 18,000 men to depend upon for the safety of Louisiana, and appeals in vain for help to General Halleck and Mr. St an t on . They have n o men to spare, and he must d o th e b es t he can with th e de moralised and insuffi c i en t f orc e at his disposal. G en. Fostteor the inN l o a r te th st C a a c r e n o li u n n a t — s, wishoa question of a f ew se surrender, accord iog hours—has been sacrificed either by the neglect or inability of the War Department to send him the men he needed. General Roseerans requires double of the 700,000 his actual force to mai n t a i n himself successfully i n Tennessee, but cannot p ersu ade the Governme n t to send him so much as a brigades, Washington, or hoara forno btrhie gpaudbelictopspaArree. t W he h g e r r e e a t t he m n a a i r o e ri t t h y e armies of the re tainedße- for the defenc e o f vir useless invasion of Vi rg i n i a by the line of the Rap pahannock p annoTchke?reoraarreectohmespeu7toedo,oooo good authority t o beo a merely imaginary no more than 60,000 men in and about Washing ton, charged with th e d e fence of the capital a n d the person of the P res ident, and from 80,000 t o 100,000 under Hooke r , seeking in vain f or an opportunity to march through the tenacious mud of the Old Dominion, toward that much coveted city of Richmond, which neither he nor his army will ever reach by the road which Burnside failed to travel, and which M'Clellan was disinclined to at tempt. If these figures be correct the Federal army must either amount to a force far inferior to its roll upon the books of the War-office, the Treasury, and the Commissariat, or it must be scattered in small dribblets over the Border States, or be retained for garrison duty in the Northern and Western cities to overawe and keep down the discontented " Copper heads." Which of the two solutions is correct ? The most probable is that the Government has no such army as it pretends to have, and that the rank and file do not exceed 300,000 or at most 400,000 men ; that desertions have been more frequent, more sys tematic, and more numerous than is publicly known ; and that sickness prevails to a far greater extent than the Government has cared to divulge. But why, it may be timed, does not the Govern ment, under circumstances such as these, take im n ediate measures to fill up the ranks ? Why, when the term of the nine months' volunteers is within a few days of expiry, does it not offer them a renewal of bounty for a renewal of service P And why, above all, does it not organise measures for railing out the first instalment of a quarter of a million of men under the Conscription Act ? It seems myste rious that not only does Mr. Lincoln take no steps of the kind, but that the journals of Washington and New York, which speak at the prompting of th e Administration, have announced within the last few days that t here is, in the opinion of the 'atilo present necessity for a con all the me n rea ll y requ i re d can baN con scription r po r Department, 'm and that b t t )o ain l r d t by ent voluntary enlistment and high bounties. There is more i n these announcements especially the European public, peot- Taken in connection with t than would plain read ly m e sti % the anti British outcry which has been so suddenly raised and so strenuously encouraged by the Go vernment, two inferences may be drawn. One is that in the existing temper of the public mind a con scription cannot be safely resorted to ; that not only can the Government obtain no additional men for the further prosecution of hostilities against the South, but that a conscription is in itself so alien to the habits, the education, the prejudices, and the free spirit of the people, and so likely to be resisted by organised combinat ions of working men , Iris h and German as well as native, and by the " Copper in the North-Western States a h s ea t d o s b ,' e ' m in or a e h es i peis ll g e h s l degree dangerous and impolitic. The second is. that a the Government must largely increase its armies or be utterly beaten by the South, it is essential to get up some great popular excite ment that may serve to reanimate the flagging en thusiasm of the people. As nothing within the reach of the Administration is so likely to accom plish the end as a threatened war with Great Bri tain, that ancient and never-failing " dodge " is un scrupulously employed. Not, perhaps, that the Go vernment desires such a war, but that it desires to render war so imminent,—to come, as it were, so nearly . within an inch, or a hair's breadth of it,—as the sc. yet c al wtrlpoeuu Britishnwl d s o a r e rd i e i sad e fi odl peopleyr a r l o n w grtrm d yb y ao i yt s h m t to excite thz warlike ardour and the undying hate of the Irish Roman C. tholic population, and of all controversies, handsrf e ft therefore r e ea great gbae pps tee cities,prEha Eng land. egpds. which would not lift a finger against the South, but for wanh even for the rupture of diplomatic relations bets% een the two countries. To this extent animosities may be carried; but in the opinion of those who have longest studied the character of the people, and who best know the men in power, there will be no war unless Great Britain shall herself declare it, The case of the Peterhoff was not deemed of im portance in this city until the facts were set forth in the English newspapers. She was represented here as an ordinary blockade runner, legally cap tured in an attempt to force her way into Charleston. Not a word was said of her being bound to the neu tral port of Matemorace Now, that the real facts havastektitallioalige _is a general impression that Mr. Seward will not risk a diplomatic or any other rupture with Great Britain on account of that vessel, but that she will be given up, together with the mails, unopened, that were found on board. The real grievance on which Mr. Lincoln kind Mr. Seward rely for exciting the necessary amount of hostile feeling against England is the construction in British ports of such vessels as the Alabama and the Florida, and the probability that, unless they assume a sufficiently threatening attitude, the Con federate Loan of three millions sterling will be ex pended in the same way, in the same places, and for the same purpose. The idea of issuing letters of marque to adventurers of New York and other cities for the purpose of capturing these daring cruisers seems to have been abaudoned, not only on account of the danger of provoking the principal maritime nations of Europe into war against the United States, but, perhaps, because they have discovered that letters of marque are only issued against foreign enemies, and that in taking this step the Federal Government would virtually recognise the independence of the Southern Confederacy, and could not afterwards make it a grievance against other nations if they imitated the example. Mr. Horace Greeley's fall from grace in the matter of the perpetuity and efficacy of the President's pro clamation of emancipation has brought upon him the distrust and the reproaches, if not the enmity, of some of his fellow-labourers in the cause. A meeting to condemn and disavow his interpretation of the document, and especially his assertion that if the Union were restored the Southern Slave-hold ing States could legally re-enslave the negroes whom Mr. Lincoln's proclamation set free, was held the night before last at Mr. Henry Ward Beecher's church,under the presidency of the Rev. Dr. Cheever. The speakers were not very successful in their de molition of Mr. Greeley's logic and law, both of which have found an unexpected supporter in the Hon. It. H. Dana, Attorney-General of the State of Massachusetts, and, as the Tribune truly says, "one of the earliest, ablest, and first anti-slavery men " of that State. That gentleman, doubtless in order to help the Government out of the ;:ilemma into which it thrusts itself by the proclamation, and to gain back for it some portion of the Democratic and Conservative support which it has lost, declared in a speech at Providence, Rhode Island, "that if any man feared or hoped that the proclamation did, as a matter of law, by its own force, alter the legal status of one slave in America on the Ist of January last, he built his fears or hopes on the sand, It was a military act, and not the decree of a legislator. It f o rce does not do is not done." This was Mr. d h o a n s e n b o y le t g h a e l s tr o c n e g o n a the s i s t a d t u o s n o e f ; t w h e h sl a t a t e h . l a ir r h m as t f Greeley's assertion in terser and more authoritative language than he employed ; but no reply was made at the meeting, which was otherwise only re markable for the singularly awkward admission of one of the speakers. A Mr. Gilbert, who is do -cribed as a leading member of the Church of the Puritans, declared that " the captive bird should be liberated, in order that it might fly off to its native air," or, in other words, that the slave, when emancipated, should be sent back to Africa, which is Mr. Lincoln's favourite scheme for settling the difficulty. The other admission was still more significant of the designs of the party in power— the real enemies of the freedom of the American people. It was to the effect "that the national debt incurred by the war would create a con solidated Government and sweep away the old , doctrine of State rights." This gentleman went a little too fast. The debt threatens to be the instru ment of disintegration rather than of consolidation. Already the subject of repudiation is openly dis cussed. It is declared by leading lawyers of the Democratic party that the debt was illegally con traoted,and that the West and North-West are begin ning to murmer that, whoever may be found to pay it, they will not. But the speaker was too much in love with despotism to look the facts of liberty fairly in the face. He was too warmly attached to the idea of a centralised Government, powerful enough to dominate the world, to tolerate the exist ing constitution of the States. He concluded his speech by declaring, " that he would rejoice to see the day of consolidation. When that period arrived the Government would be able to maintain a million of armed men, and might then say, 'Come on, France ! Come on, England ! Come on, Copper heads!'" Such is American Puritanism and Aboli tionism, and such are its ideas of Republican liberty ! A huge debt ! An immense standing army ! De- fiance to the word! Denial of the right of free dis cussion to its own citizens, and deportation of the negro race ! And yet these people pretend that in combating the South they are fighting in behalf of the great cause of human liberty and progress, and feel aggrieved when the English people with hold their sympathy ! The Federal army has lost one officer and ought to lose another by a recent unhappy occurrence in ,he camp near Suffolk. General Michael Corcoran, once keeper of a "groggery" in this city, and who first made for himself a military reputation when a )ieutenant of militia by an act of disobedience to the commands of his superior officer, for which he was tried before a Court-martial, has proved that he is as unfit to be a general as he was a lieutenant. He has cruelly murdered a subordinate officer for the performance of his duty, and, if he be not tried for the capital offence and dismissed from the army, whether he bo found guilty of murder, or of the minor crime of manslaughter, a bad example will be set to the whole army, and the Federal Go vernment will deserve to lose any battle in which such a man as ho is shall lead either an army or a division. General Corcoran, who, perhaps, imagines that he must be a very great man as well as a very great warrior, inasmuch as New York recently gave him a public reception as brilliant as it gave to the Prince of Wales, was walking near the lines of the army when he was challenged for the password by Col. Kimball, of the Hawkins Zouaves, the officer on duty, and who had newly arrived with his com pany, and did not know the person of the general. He answered a bru p tl y , " I am General Corcor an ," as if that were sufficient. Col. Kimball replied that anybody might call himself General Corcoran, and again demanded the countersign. Corcoran at tempted, in contravention of all military duty propriety, to pass on ; and when and Col. Kimball held up his hand or drew his sword to prevent him the general discharged a revolver and shot the unfor tunate officer dead upon the spot. How can the IIMES.--We are sorry to be obliged to recur to the subject of Greenwich Hespital. If you inform a private gentleman that a great abuse is being car ried on in a matter under leis control, he generally looks into it at once, remedies it, and is t hankful for the information. But it is quite a difLrent thing with public bodies. They are aptly so callecl,for they generally have no soul, and therefore no conscience. The utmost that ever can be said in their excu-e is that, like unreasoning beings,they act unconsciously and without reflection. Complaints which have no thing but right to recommend them never disturb their repose. It requires reiterated cracks of the whip of public opinion to make them understand that they must charge their course. As our re marks, therefore, the other day do not seem to have had their due effect, we must beg the attention of our readers to a few details on the subject. The Ad miralty may be assured that the public will not allow this matter to drop. It is of vast importance to the well-being of the Navy, and, therefore, of the country, and the abuses are too gross and ob vious to be overlooked. We have already given our readers a general idea of the waste and misappro priation of the funds of the Hospital, and we showed that no less than two-thirds of the money of the in stitution had been diverted from its proper purpose. But it will put the matter in - w - stitt stronger eight if we enter a little into the details of this misappro priation. The Hospital is administered by a large Staff of Military, Civil, and Medical Officers. The military Government is at present in the hands of a Governor, Lieutenant-Governor, four Captains, three Commanders, six Lieutenants, and three Mas ters. The number of men who absorb all this ad ministrative agency is at present 1,500. We say " at present," for there ought to be 2,642 men in the Hospital. That, however, does not affect the argu ment, for, as our correspondent showed the other day, the number of governors has increased as the number of men to be governed has diminished. Let our readers compare this proportion of officers to men with that which exists in a man-of-war. Let them remember, besides, that in the latter case the men are in constant activity and require con tinued supervision, while in the Hospital they have nothing to do, and the officers have only to exercise tha most'general superintendence. Add to this that all the minor work of supervision is done in the Hospital, as on shipboard, by petty officers, and then let them draw their own conclusions as to the use or excuse for so large a staff. All these officers cannot be wanted; and it is evident they are not, for many of them would be quite unable to do their work if they were. The posts are mere excuses for giving them salaries. Now we beg our readers' attention to what these salaries are. The Governor receives £1,500 a year as his nomi nal salary. In addition to this he receives £766 102. a year as half-pay, pensions for wounds—of which, as fairly and honourably earned, we will not say a word—and, besides this, all man ner of allowances for oil, coal, wood, candles, &c. And, lastly, he has apartments which amount to a handsome house. All the other salaries are in pro portion. Each of the three commanders receives £3OO a year salary, £155 23. 6d. a year half-pay, and, as one of them, who is non-resident, receives £2 12s. 6d. a week for lodgings, we may assume that their apartments represent £125 a year, and they enjoy the same sort of allowances as the Governor. These are only two instances ; we can not go through them all. But after this our readers will not be surprised to hear that the cost of the military and medical officers of the hospital in 1859 was £14,664, and this to look after the good order and the health of no more than 1,500 men ! We are sure that in order to convince our readers of the abuse we charge upon the Admiralty it is only necessary to state these facts. There is no need of argument to prove that this is not the way in which it was intended that;the funds of the Hospital should be applied. We are perfectly aware of the excuse which will be set up. It will be maintained that it was within the intention of the founders of the Hospital that a certain number of meritorious and disabled officers should derive some support from its funds. Now, we draw our readers' particular at tention to a short extract, contained in a letter which we publish in another column, from the Act of Parliament, passed in 1696, by which the "sea men's sixpences" were given to the Hospital. It provides that " the widows of seamen slain, killed, or drowned in the sea service, and the children of such seamen so slain, killed, or drowned, and not of ability to maintain or provide comfortably for themselves, shall be received into the said Hospital, and there be piovided for." Will any one main tain that an Admiral in the receipt of half-pay to the amount of £766 10s. and pensions besides, or a captain in the receipt of £l9l 12s 6d. as half-pay and £9l ss. as pensions, is not able to provide com fortably for himself ? But if the Admiralty are not prepared to defend this absurd proposition, they must admit that all the appointments we have men tioned are contrary to the purposes of the Hospital. It is obvious, however, that they have totally dis regarded this consideration, and indeed all the con siderations set forth in our correspondent's letter. One of their last acts was to appoint to the office of Commissioner on the Civil Staff of the Hospital, with a salary of £6OO a year and an allowance of four guineas a week for lodgings, and with no duties but to attend the Board at Greenwich an hour a week, the late Accountant-General of the Navy, who has retired from that post with a pension of £l,OOO a year. Our correspondent forcibly points out that they are running in the teeth of the Acts of Parlia ment relating to the Hospital by refusing to pro vide proper support for the wives and widows and families of the seamen, and every possible excuse for this gross and cruel neglect is taken away by the fact that, after paying all these extravagant ex penses, they had a surplus in 1859 of £28,387, and in 1860 of more than £40,000. This is going be yond all reasonable abuse. A little mismanagement, a little misappropriation, is to be expected in all such concerns. To err is human, and to job is official, and moderate jobbing, as moderate error, is easily pardoned. BuZ there is a limit to forgiveness in both cases, and this jobbing passes every limit. We cannot but add that if the Admiralty persist in this course it will no longer be possible to put a favourable construction on their conduct. We give them every credit for having been led into these abuses unconsciously, but now that they are pointed out to them they cannot with honour delay imme diate redress. If they refuse to listen to the plain justice of this matter, it will be only possible to draw one or two conclusions—either that they know they are acting unjustly, and persist in so acting from motives of interest, or that they are insensible to the commonest considerations of reason and justice. It is easy for them to affect to disregard articles and letters in newspapers, and we acknow ledge the wisdom of the course, and so we do that of the steward in the parable. but we sh ould think the Admiralty wouli hardly be content to earlihis however, praise at the expense of his epithet. If, -d to they will take this course, and are determine prefer prudence to honour and interebset to justice, is will employ there no member of Parliament the time which is wasted in . freiveoinlowns motions every pelting the refor- Tuesday and Friday p If the hardships of night in mation of so grave an abuse _ _ .Boyal Commission for the 21 colonels can obtain a the ebrisk debate, is there no one asking, and excite claims of 12,000 helpless who will enforce th put a op to the shameful abuseofa seamen, and great public trust ? ululated by the Post—Sti Geor ge - street murder the parochial authorities of St. Giles's are taking measures of ejectment against several householders i n the imm , diate locality ; personshouses. who, as th e form of indictment goes, are offence of keeping o disorderly" cuses.

Similar manifestations of parochial vigour we happen to remember, and the results have not been such as to warrant much confidence in any general and comprehensive benefit to accrue from the present ejectment.

Ejectment is the normal consequence of violating the precepts of social morality to any abnormal extent. Society, in its largest sense of a whole nation, has no such expedient at command;_ hence it becomes a bounden duty of every civilised executive to recognise social maladies of whatever kind, just as a surgeon recognises—with treatment, and cure in view—a malignant ulcer orbeermlig sore. In viewing under many of its aspect's the subject of debate, we are by no means unconscious of numerous and grave difficulties that will briatle up in the path of any social legislator bold enough to grapple with the enormous evils to which we refer. The continental system of police is so diffe rent in its functions from our system; an English man's house is so practically his castle ; and the license of free communication and free discussion is so great, that any literal assumption of foreign precedent and experience in the matter under band would be purely impossible. D fficulties in the way of accomplishing a result should, however, furnish no plea for not aiming at it. Much mi . ght be effected without a further exercise of supervision and scru tiny than is compatible with the degree of personal liberty to which Englishmen have become accus tomed. Even were it certain that nothing in the way of amelioration could be immediately brought about by any measure of State interference, still, practical affirmation of the principle that no existing social vice or social malady should be studiously ignored and kept out of sight to the intent of making society appear better than it is, would be a measure consonant with the soundest principles of social government. To foster hypocrisy can never be desirable, no matter what the subject or the cc casion. Now, it is gross hypocrisy—no better—to affact that in respect of that particular class of sins to which our observations point, the English public is so much purer than the continental public, as the advocates for non-intervention in this matter would wish inferentially to make one believe. Such °Mc teflon of purity deceives nobody. The utmost to be expected of it is the fostering of a sentiment so near akin to selfishness that it approaches the character of sin; the sentiment of complacency, namely, and false tranquillity, that weak natures sometimes realise to themselves; by keeping displeasing ob jects out of sight, though the reality of them is no more questionable than the sun's presence at noon day. HERALD.—We would not give much for the sum which the Chancellor of the Exchequer will realise during his next financial year out of his extension of the income tax to public charities. There is a feel ing growing up in the country which will not per. mit him to confiscate the property of orphans and widows, the sick, the needy, and the destitute, to secure that augmented surplus which is to establish his reputation with your profounder class of finan ciers as a safe Chancellor of the Exchequer. Did we, through the pressure of some considerable deficit, or the expectation of a year of difficulty, need so unusual an augmentation, nobody would be con tent to look for it from such a sosree. To propose to tax the aged and helpless dependents on an elee mosynary aid by no means too bountiful at the very moment that he relieves from taxation incomes varying from one to two hundred pounds a year, is too culminating a point of absurdity to stand much discussion. Neither Pitt nor Sir Robert Peel, though both of them in times of much pressure have had the credit of exhausting every resource of taxation, seem to have thought of raising an income out of the unassisted misery of the unfortunate classes. The exemption of the poor from bearing any share in the burden has been the fundamental principle on which every income tax we have yet had has been founded, and there is really no excuse for the exception that is now proposed, except that the impost, if based in fact on the wretched them= selves, in appearance falls only on accumulated capi tal. With regard to the hospitals, for example, even Mr. Gladstone's infinite power of sophistical ampli fication would be hard put to it to explain how any thing be extracts for the Government is not so much extracted from each unhappy Lazarus praying aid at their doors. 'We have not yet learn the art by which we can withdraw so much from the sum that can be spent in supporting beds or furnishing medi cines without our having so many less admissions of in-patients and so much less attendance for out patients. Take away three or four thousands a year from St. Bartholomew's or St. Thomas's Hospital, and there can be but the result of tens of thousands of poor and destitute sick connected with them hav ing so many less beds and so much less medicine under distribution among them. It is possible enough that in some cases the fiscal encroachment on the charitable fund will be compensated by the stricter economy and more effective management which would be enforced by it. The notion is cap tivating, and there is this to be said in its favour, that there are few of those bodies to whom it would not be easy to suggest steps by which an improved administration might not turn their funds to more useful account. But Chancellors of the Exchequer are not expected to frame their budgets with a view to a reform of eleemosynary institutions, and the 518 inertia of a charitable corporation, if affected for a moment by an influence of this kind, is too natural a characteristic of such bodies to be so affected long. The truth is that nothing can be said in favour of this part of the Chancellor's Budget that could not be much better said in favour of a poll tax ; and with an expected surplus an o f halhf a m illion on the incoming financial y ear, development of industry and commerce w h i ch, s t o look according to his own testimony , entittel t n d vri seems as for a continually augmenting inc ome,; the lame though the proposition described by M Henley as hadaplan e been ao includedt n g t %brie the bl Bu dge t halt , and less as any serious part of it than as a conducto r which attract to it the opposition that, directed els ew he re, might of might have worse results .

I HUNTED BY WOLVES.—An exciting incident, says Galegitani, occurred three days ago to M. Decheppe, adjoins, at Gimecourt (Meuse). He was return• ing late at night from Pont-a-mousson on horseback, when, while passing through the wood of Villotte, his attention was attracted by a heavy breathing and a rustling which ac companied him as he proceeded. M. Decheppe looking about, observed on ono side two luminous points in the darkness, and on the other side a dark shadow which ad vanced alongside his horse. Ho then became aware that ho was being followed by wolves. He at first put sputa ta t his horse, but reflected that the road was uneven, and that should an accident happen his position would b.ecicrefoccr cal, ho again slackened his pace. lie th7 r at i e o lu w, j •k in f irig be hind him, hut his companions were I adapted their pace to his. beasts were sometimes frighten.'d a, b ' ut the wol yes paid Inciter matches he throw them din's . n, He then t a r r c o wi't a ctu nd bc l r i c ;h i t t i h n ' g 't sL iiida edin.-.
