The Government of his Imperial Majesty the Emperor Austra, impressed with the importance ot extending to that country the benefits of joint-stock banking, has granted to his Excellency the Baron de Thierry a preliminary con cession for the establishment of a Bank, with branches throughout the Empire, to be conducted on English banking principles. 2. As an evidence of the wide field open for such an inst I tutirn, it may be stated that while England, with a popula tion of 30,000 000, has more th,n 1,500 joint-stock banks, in ()aiding, branches, Austra. with a population of 30,000,000, has only five banks, with a very limited number et branches. 3. The recent ac passed by the Aut trian legislature for the resumption of cash payments on or before the let January, 1.67, is founded on principles identic,l with those governing the Bank of England. This important financial reform,corr blued with the great pro;:ress recently made in the constitu tional government of Austria, must 'ace all operations °a a sounde r and more stable p basis. commercial 4. The vast agricultural and min era l resources of Austria, which become daily more largely dev. loped by the railways already existing, as we l l as b y those in course of completion, and which finda ready market in this country, require bank ing facilities co - extensive with commercial progress. 5. '1 he system of banking as known in Great Br'tain and some of the Continental States is so little in use in Austria that the ordinary practice amongst merchants and others is to keep within their own hands their deposits of bill ion and other securities and each of the G overnmen t a l D epartments is for th e extent of its own funds its own banker. 0. It is anticipated that the commercial community will be induced from the tacilities afforded them to deposit with this establishment bullion and securities which they now retain in their own cash-boxes ; and the communications which have lisse(' with the Austrian Government justify the belief that the "Imperia Royal Privileged Union Bank" willbecome the bank rs for the several State Departments, his Excellency the Minister of Finance having, in reply to th e application made for the prlimin ar y concession, stated " I'hat the Government, looking with satisfy Lion on the creation of an establishment so beneficial, would afford it every r ossible assistance." 7. The statutes of the Bank, which have been submitted to the Imperial Government, are formed on the established principles of limited liability. 8. The subjoined letter lass been this day received from his Excellency Baron de Thierry, Privy Councillor of his Imperial Royal Majesty the Emperor of Austria : "London, May 4, 1P63. " have to acknowledge the receipt of th e p roo f o f fi n • in - Cial means required for the establishment of te Imperial and Royal Privileged Union Bank of Austr.a (Li h mited) you have this day given me for the ourpose of placing it in a lega lised form before the Government of his Majesty the Empe ror, my most gracLus Sovere gn.

More than thi r ty years{ have elapsed since any leading Bank has been established in Scotland; and when the following circumstances are considered, viz., the extraordinary develop • went during this interval of the resources of the country; thy' extension 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, wealth, 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 ortunity for successfully introdu ing the London Bank of Scotland (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 Dille in c rculation in the country, and alto the Foreign Bills drawn upon Great Britain being made payable in London, t he grand focus to w hi c h th e pecun i ary transactions 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 betvv t en 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. Nene of the existing Scotch Barks possess this advantage; and the Londcn Bank of Snotbind is established to meet so great a monetary deaf deratum. As corroborative of the necessity which exists for extended banking facilities, it may be also stated, that dating the above-mentioned p er i o d t h e external trade of the country has more than trebled itself. The returns published by the Board of Trade show that the exports in the year 183 1 amounted to £32,000,000, while in 18a) they reached ,E1q5,812,8 7 ; and that the aggregate value of the imports in the year 1854 (when first ascertained) was .£152,389,0 )3, which in 1859 amounted to £179,18235 , . The home trade during 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 pla'es in Scotl an d , w i th London, it has been d ec id e d in constituting , thisßank to take powers to omen Branches, as circumstances 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.

Loss of the Anglo-Saxon Steamship, The steamship Anglo-Saxon, from Liverpool and Londonderry, for Quebec, while in a dense fog, some three miles distant from Cape Race, on the 27th of April, went on shore, and in a short time became a total wreck. Of 444 passengers and crew who were on board 180 have reached land, or been picked up in small boats; the fate of the others is ❑ot yet known. Steamers have been despatched to the scene of the disaster, with the hope of res cuing any of the survivors who may have taken to rafts or boats belonging to the steamer, which have not yet been heard from. Among those saved are the Hon. John Young, of Montreal, his wife, and seven children. A despatch from the mail officer, dated the 29th, states that all the mails are lost, and that 237 lives are lost out of a total of 445 souls, The following telegrams contain all the intelli- - - ----- Bence received et Boston before the Arabia's depar.

Three of her passengers arrived at the Cape Race telegraph station about four o'clock on Monday afternoon. They report that the Anglo-Saxon was broken up and a great number of passengers lost. The crew of the Asso ciated Press news yacht left immediately for the wreck, and will on their return make a full report. steamtug has gone down to the wreck." " SECOND DESPATCH. " Pictou, Nova Scotia, April 28.—The steamtug Dauntless picked up two boats' crews of the Anglo- Saxon between Cape Ballard and Cape Race, and is returning without landing at Cape Race. The steamer Bloodhound has gone to Cape Rice." " THIRD DESPATCH. " St John's Newfoundland, April 27 (via Port Hood, 28tn.)—The Anglo-Saxon had 360 passengers 'and a ship's crew of 84 men. She was wrecked four miles east of Cape Race on the noon of the 27th, during a dense fog; 73 persons escaped from the wreck by means of ropes and spars, and 24 in two lifeboats. The total number saved is 97. Boats Nos. 4 and 6 have not arrived off the Cape in con sequence of the dense fog, and seven more on a raft are also missing. There is a heavy sea, with a dense fog. " The commander of the Anglo-Saxon is supposed to be among the number drowned. The purser, first and second engineers, and the doctor are among the saved, as also one cabin passanger. Lieutenant Sampson, of the Royal Artillery. The Hon. John Young and family are supposed to be in one of the missing boats. " The deck broke up in about one hour after the Anglo-Saxon struck. Nothing but the mizenmast is standing. Several persons clung to the fore rig ging until the foremast fell. No assistance could be rendered. Guns are being fired at the Cape to at tract the attention of the missing boats. " The Associated Press boat's crow went imme diately to the wreck." " FOURTH DESPATCH. "St. John's, Newfoundland, April 28.—The steamer Dauntless, at 9 a.m, to•day, picked up two boats belonging to the Anglo-Saxon containing 90 persons. " The following passengers are reported to be on the Dauntless :—The Hon. John Young, lady, seven children, and servant ; Miss Hope, Miss Bertram, Mrs. Captain Stoddart, Mr. Greene (mail officer), Mr. Towers, Rev. Mr. Eaton, Capt. Cassidy, Mrs. Jackson and child, John Martin, James Kirkwood and sister, Mrs. Eliza James, Catherine Cameron, Mary Ann Thomas, Mary Ann Adams, Edward Mans, Thomas Caldwell, Mr. hart (first officer), Robert Allan (third officer), Mr. Scott (fourth officer), James Henderson (fourth engineer). " The steamer Bloodhound has gone to Cape Race for the rescued persons there. " The weather is N ery fine and clear on the coast to-day." " [The telegraph lines were kept open from New York to Cape Race to-night, to enable a despatch of the disaster to the Anglo-Saxon to be forwarded to the pres s , but at 11 o'clock the wires failed to work beyond Bangor, consequently we are without fur ther particulars. It is expected that the line win be in working condition to-morrow (Wednesday), when full details may be expected."] The following is a list of the passengers on board the Anglo-Saxon : CABIN PASSENGERS :—Miss Malley, Hon.

Stransham, Inspector. General of Royal Marines, last week issued a notification of his intention to commence his half-Yearly inspection of the Woolwich division to-day, at half-past 3. The interesting ceremony of presenting colours to the 10th Regiment of Foot (North Lancashire) took place on Friday in the Phoenix-park, Dublin. A large number of persons were present. His Excel lency the Earl of Caz lisle, who presented the colours, delivered an address to the troops. He traced the history of the regiment from the wars of Marl borough to the close of the Indian mutiny, wh en it received 423 medals. In giving it the colours, he knew, he said, that he had put them into the hands which would never disgrace them. Col. Longden having returned thanks, the colours were trooped, and the proceedings terminated. A notification has been received at Chatham from the War-office announcing that in future the allowance for libraries of the Royal Artillery will be at the rate of £2 per battery, and not, as hereto fore, £2O per brigade. This alteration, however, is not to affect the Depot or Coast Brigades, for both of which special arrangements are made.

From every quarter I receive most interesting accounts of the progress of the Sultan, and if I were engaged in the collection of materials for a" History of the Sultan's voyage," instead of supplying only an outline of these events for the information and amusement of your readers, without exhausting the subject and their path nw, I should not be wanting in matter for a detailed and interesting narrative of this expedition. From no place, however, have I received such abundance of detail as from Stnyrtr, and the enthusiasm of all classes in that, the second city of the Empire, seems to have amounted almost to fret zy. Nor was this feeling limited to the Turkish population. The Greeks, the Armenians, the Jews, but particularly the European residents, in that ancient seat of commerce, seem to have vied with each other in the heartfelt welcome which they offered to the Sultan ; and this seems so much to have touched him that he is reported to have said that, while the arrangements for his reception and stay in Egypt evinced a Princely magnificence difficult to rival, the ovation which attended his reception at Smyrna denoted the deeper impulses of the heart. And this wound seem to be a co rrec t es ti ma t e of the case. j_ Ani mated by this feeling, the Sultan on this occasion departed from all the traditional exigencies of etiquette and the exclusive reserve which has always been observed by his predecessors. Enter ing into the spirit of this manifestation, he made himself accessible to all classes of his subjects, both in public and private. Deputations, addresses, petitions—many, no doubt, tedious and intru sive—were received by him with the graciousness and good humour of a constitutional monarch, rather than the forbidding austerity and apathy of a despotic ruler, whose very frown would prostrate millions to the dust. On all these occasions he seems to have evinced consummate tact and good taste in the graceful answers and observations which he addressed to those who came within his presence. Of the official members of the community it would appear that he selected Count Bentivoglio, the French Consul-General, for his special conde scension, without, however, falling short in civility towards the others. Count Bentivoglio is the brother in-law of Count %Valewski, and has distinguished himself both in Syria, where he was French agent during the massacres, and in his present post, by a spirit of hostility and opposition to the Turkish Government which very often went beyond the bounds of justice and good policy. With the good caste of a French gentleman, he seems, on this occa sion, to have laid aside his old animosities and taken the lead in the preparations which were made to re ceive the Sultan in a becoming manner. He has been rewarded by the most marked civility and the pre sent of a horse from the Imperial stables; and it is not unlikely that these Oriental blandishments will contribute to make him more just and more tract able in his future relations with the Turkish autho rities, and perhaps also obtain the favour and good will of the Count's influential relatives and patrons. Next to him the Latin Archbishop of Smyrna has succeeded so far in ingratiating himself with the Sovereign that the Sultan presented him with the liberal donation of £5OO towards the erection of a cathedral in Smyrna. This gift was accompanied by expressions of interest and goodwill in the welfare of the Latin subjects of Turkey. In addition to this munificence the Royal bounty has been extended in an impartial manner to all deserving institutions and to the relief of distress, without regard to creed or political sympathies and considerations. The pro gramme of the Imperial visit to Smyrna may be briefly summed up as follows—A review of the troops, a visit twice repeated to the works of - the railroad, an expedition by rail to Ephesus, visits to the country houses of two leading merchants—one English the other Greek, at the former of which he partook of a collation—a circumstance unprece dented, I believe, in the annals of Imperial conde scensions—and, finally, a dinner on board the Im perial yacht, including about 40 of the leading per sons of the community. On the departure of the squadron from Smyrna it was expected that the Sultan would return imme diately to the capital, without halting at any other point. It is now announced that he Rill only arrive here on Friday next. With the evident object of giving to this excursion the colouring of usefulness, and with a serious intention, I have no doubt, of the Sultan to profit by it, we are now informed that the intermediate delays are being employed in a careful and minute inspection of the defensive posi tion and fortresses in the Hellespont. Here, again, the ruling motive of the Sultan in his martial pro- pensities declares itself; bat in this instance it only indicates a wise and prudent precaution, and so long as his military tendencies are governed by the in terests of the country, in the legitimate extension of its defensive resources, and do not aspire to wild schemes of aggression, no fault can be found with him for devoting himself to the attainment of a position which may inspire internal confidence and respect from without. It has often been my ungracious duty, in supply ing your readers with information respecting this country, to represent many subjects in a manner not favourable to its administrators. In speaking of the government of the provinces I have pointed out the corrupt misrule which prevailed, and which in a few years has brought them to such a depth of degradation. In alluding to the finances of the empire I showed the confusion and disorder which threatened impending ruin and disgrace. In com- menting upon the corrupt practices of Pashas I have exposed a system which for years has been undermining the country. In recording the public acts of the Sultan I ventured to point out that the reactionary tendencies which be displayed on various occasions, and which not long ago brought about such a crisis in the Administration as threat- ened to degenerate into a panic, might estrange him from his allies and result in danger to the country. In dealing with these various subjects I abstained from all partiality, and limited myself, to the best of my ability, to a faithful record of the actual state of things. It is a pleasing duty to me , therefore, return, to on this occasion, in giving an account . of the Sul tan's voyage and of his approach!nfgotrientnu w hich give expression to the general satisata tended that is felt at the proceedings which ~. a memo , voyage, and which will Tax se i it ' an. When able event in the life of t d : rta king this voy the Sultan decided upon , un the public with age it is not wonderful thattuioned before them—with the precedents I have imoreover,me of the unsettled state of and the European provinces the knowledge, the e xhaustion of the Treasury, in particular, an I replenished at that time by the country the which had not been h • new £6,000,000 loan—should me looked upon this generally that it has been accompnshed without an scheme with anxiety and even with apprehension, uNnufwaveurable results —now that the Sultan is within y 150 miles of his capital, that ,tel egrap hi c and other information has been received of the en tl ius i 4Em with which he has been greeted everywhere, the public feeling seems to be th a t thi s voyage may, after ail, be productive of benifit to the country and to the Sultan himself. He seems to have devoted himself entirely to the object of acquiring a know ledge of the country, and of conferring such bene fits as his presence can produce. There is stilt one point against it, and that is the enormous ex penditure which has attended this expedition. When I stated that it would cost the country half a million I was within the limits of the amount which has been actually expended. When it is considered that this in itself exceeds the civil list of the Royal family of England, that is, moreover, raised at a time when the measure of most moment to the Turkish Empire is the reconstitution of its financial system—which can only be accomplished by the strictest retrenchment in all the departments THE NAVY. The Royal paddle yacht Osborne, Master-Com mander G. K. Bower, is being fitted in :the steam basin at Portsmouth with new wheels, on the patent feathering float principle, by Messrs. Maudslay, Field, and Sons, the manufacturers of her engines. The wheels with which the Osborne was first com missioned as her Majesty's yacht were made for the paddle frigate Firebrand, and the pair with which she is now fitted are the only pair which have been specially constructed for her. Her Majesty's paddle yacht Victoria and Al bert, Capt. his Serene Highness the Prince Lei ningen, refitting at her moorings in Portsmouth harbour, is ordered to be ready for service by the 20th inst., and, it is reported, will then be placed at the disposal of their Royal Highnesses the Prince Louis and Princess Alice of Hesse. The Curagoa, 26, screw frigate, Capt. Sir Wm. Wiseman, fitting at Portsmouth for service in the Pacific, is expected to leave Portsmouth harbour, on the completion of her outfit, for Spithead, about the 14th inst., and to sail in a few day afterwards for her destination, The Emerald, 34, screw frigate, Capt. A. Cum ming, on Friday made her fourth experimental screw trial, at the measured mile in Stokes Bay, near Portsmouth. The ship's draught of water, es nearly as possible, was the same as on the former occasions, being 20ft 9in forward, and 21ft 10in aft. The wind was at a force of from 2to 3 from the south-east. The screw used on this occasion was one of four blades, the blades being set at equi distant intervals round a Griffith's boss. The mean of six runs made g ave t h e ship a spee d of exactly clo2nfiknromtsin,agnthexostereombetlayined satisfactorywiththe same descrip result, and f u ll y tion of screws in the experimental trials of her Majesty's ship Shannon. In fact, it may be stated, that the four trials of the Emerald confirm the trials made with similar screws in the Shannon, and that so far nothing has been added to the know ledge we already possessed on the subject. It is expected, however, that the Emerald will conclude her series of trials with the leading corners cut off her four and six -bladed common screws, and with a two, a three, and a four bladed screw of the Grif fiths pattern. If this course is followed it will ren der the whole series of trials compl.ete and highly valuable, not only to the Royal naval service, but also to the mercantile navy. In making the circles on Friday, at the ccnclusion of the six runs at the measured mile, the Emerald, with the helm sport, made the circle in 7 min and 9 sec, the angle of the rudder being 131 deg, and revolutions of the en gines 53. With the helm astarboird, a full circle was completed in 8 min a n d 22 sec, the angle o f t h e rudder being 14 deg, a n d the revolutions of t h e engines 531. The Black Prince, 40, iron frigate, Capt. J. F. B . Wainwright, refitting at Portsmouth, has her time fixed for being out of the hands of the dockyard officials by the 28th inst. There is a difficulty, h ow . ever, connected with her cylinder covers which may probably delay her completion until a period later than the day named. The Thunderer, old sailing 84, has been taken into the ship basin at Portsmouth, to clear out and return into store her fittings, &c., preparatory to being made into a target ship". A statement to the effect that the Board of Ad miralty has determined on abolishing the law of su p er annuation in her Majesty' s d oc k yards was last Woolwich by th e rea di ng of a the t Controll er o f t h e N avy. apprentic es i n the factories, toom a at the Itcwi r e wc e ukal was o on directedrfidr e m r e fr d who have served a great portion of their time under the condition of being entered on the permanent staff of the establishment after the expiration of their term of apprenticeship. The memorandum sets aside the established rule under which these young men entered the service, and affects to free the Board of Admiralty from re sponsibilityas regards any future provision for their apprentices beyond allowing them the privilege of continuing tempora rily in the service on the hired list, and to be dis charged as circumstances may require. The order has occasioned much dissatisfaction in the dockyard. Mr. Tucker, one of the superior officers of the shipwright's department of Woolwich dockyard, has been ordered by the Board of Admiralty to proceed to Glasgow and survey the frigates (three in num ber) under construction by Messrs. Napier and Co. for the Turkish Government. The frigates will be built of iron, of the Warrior class. Two of the num ber are already somewhat advanced.

Find Pasha seems in a short time to have s.cquired a vast influence over the Sultan's mind. It is evident that the Sovereign is, so to speak, the mouthpiece of the Minister. The record of all the Imperial declarations on this occa sion may be asked as the political programme of this statesman. He endeavoured at first to persuade the Sultan from undertaking this journey at an unpro pitious moment. Seeing that persistence in this course would only irritate, he wisely abstained from furt h e a r n ad fo rivi: c c i ognhthe peculiar, o an h d im w , i a t n h d th a e grjudg menteatstrength of will, he determined that the scheme which originated in caprice, and was strengthened and confirmed by oppesii t :on, was one which, with 'upper management, might be made to serve as a basis on which to raise political ,capital, and Lnha nce the credit of the Sultan and of hire . i n t en tions in the public estimation. The result show,:' that he has established a great moral ascendancy oVb. r the Sul tan. There is not one of the Sovereign's aeis s which does not bear the stamp of the Minister, who has not left his side, so to speak, for a moment dnri-i2g the whole of the voyage. It is thus that the strong will of ono man sometimes succeeds in defeating the' evil effects of an ill-judged measure, and even to reap advantage from that which prognosticated dis satisfaction. It is confidently asserted, and I have no doubt myself on the subject, that soon after the Sultan's return Fuad Pasha will assume his old position as Grend Vizier. The respect and defer ence which he has succeeded in exacting from the Sultan, with whom it is well known he was not et favourite, may, if judiciously employed, be used by Fuad Pasha as a great and powerful engine by which to enforce the enlightened and reforming policy which he has always identified himself. He will have an able supporter of these views in Aali Pasha. Of the others in the Administration not much can be said, but by honest and cordial co-ope ration these two may achieve much, and make the others subservient to their policy. A FEDERAL INVASION OF IRELAND. If an enemy of the Irish race could have his wish, it would not be far from realisation whenever an Irish army commanded by General Mielellan—let us have him by all means at its head—trusted itself to the Atlantic, or crowded into some rockgirt bay to effect a landing on our shores. It is sad enough to cast one's eyes over the lists, long and many, which fill the Northern newspapers after every battle, and re cognise there the names of the poor victims who have perished in front of Confederate cannon and bayonet, in seeking to impose on the people of the South the hated rule of Northern masters. Well have they paid their footing in the land ! Let that sacrifice be enough, and let evil advisers at home and abroad be content with the outpouring of blood which has swept away nigh every trace of liberty and freedom in the Western world, and left little there for which free men care to live. The losses incurred in this war are not to be conceived; a largo proportion, considered relatively to the amount of the population, has been borne by the Irish immi grants, old and new. Let us take as an example ho facts connected with one State. Michigan is largely peopled by Irish and Germans—in 1860 it contained 715,595 inhabitants. According to the ratio established there were, between the ages of 18 and 45, 95,578 persons in the whole State liable to draught. Up to July, 1862, Michigan sent to the Held 24,281 men, including recruits; between July and December she founded 3 regiments cavalry, 10 infantry, and 1 battery, malting 13,739 men; in December she organised 3 regiments cavalry, 2 in fantry, 1 rifles, 2 batteries, or 4,400 men, making, with local companies liable to service, a total of 45,569 or nearly one-half of the who o male population liable to service. This total does not include the men who enlisted in the regular United States' service within the State of Michigan, and it certainly speaks well for the courage of the people and their attachment to the Federal Government. Let us see how some of these regiments fared. The Ist Michigan consisted of 977 officers and men. In the second ac- tion at Ball Run the colonel, adjutant, four captains, two lieutenants, and 21 rank and file were killed, and more than half the regiment were wounded. In last December it had lost by death, from disease or wounds, 385 men ; no less than 14 officers had re signed. The 2d Michigan Regiment, 1,013 strong, was reduced to 642 in November last, and its colonel died of his wounds. The 3d Regiment was reduced in the same month, in four months, from 1,040 to 669 strong. The 4th Regiment lost its colonel and 403 officers and men in the same period. The sth, which was 983 strong, lost its colonel and 426 men, who perished by sickness or the enemy's fire, in cluding, however, 167 discharged for disability, 23 deserters, 184 "dropped from the rolls," and 13 officers "resigned." At Fair Oaks, out of 300 en gaged, it lost 30 killed, 116 wounded, five missing. The 6th was reduced in New Orleans campaign from 1,075 to 756. There were only 21 killed, or died of wounds, but 138 died of disease, and 181 were dis charged. The 7th Regiment is described as "much reduced in numbers," and at Antietam "one-hahl t the whole force engaged was disa bled." The h9otm Regiment buffered a loss of 260 dischaed, of wss, 89 100 enlisted in the regulars, 55 died o rg f wane de d were killed or died of wounds, 2 43 were and 21 officers resig ned.
