Noon, and Night, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE. Total.. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS CITY, TIIMISDAY EVENING. TIMES.—The following is an extract from a letter from Galveston, dated October 1, received in the Cit) : " An invasion is expected. Galvest.m is entirely with out defence, and Texas has not a single vessel that can put to sea against the enemy." The plan of stamping bankers' cheques, for the purpose of securingaprofit to the revenue that could not be evaded like the present duty on receipts, has been a good deal discussed in the City among persons connected with various branches of business. Among the remarks made on it is one against its adoption, which certainly merits consideration. This is to the effect, that the stamp on checques would fall unequally on different classes of the community, and, at the same time, without anything like a prop Trion to the income of the paying parties. By the nature of their business, merchants, members of the Stock Exchange, and others, are constantly drawing cheques in the course of th&daY, many of which bring, perhaps, but little profit, and these, though their gains were small, might be paying at a rate equal. to the in come-tax on a handsome fortune. On the other hand, the wealthy retired persons at the other end of the town frequently draw but a few large cheques in the course of the week ; so that, unless something like a graduated scale were adopted, it is contended that these rich inac tive people might be paying pence while the active and less opulent merchants would be paying pounds. It is, moreover, apprehended that even if the measure were adopted, ready means would be found to evade it. The Government having ceased to make monthly re turns in the Gazette of the average circulation of notes in Engfund -by the private and joint-stock banks, as was formerly the custom under the provisions of the Act of 4 and 5 Victoria, cap. 50 (the Act passed in 1841), it beconies a matter of some importance to ascertain in what manner the public are to obtain this necessary in formation. It does not appear very evident that the last Act for the regulation of the Bank of England and other banks of issue, which was passed this year, and by which certain returns are ordered to be made, has in any degree superseded the former arrangements ; but the Stamp office have ever since merely published in the Gazette the weekly amount of each banker's circulation, and have ceased to render the averages as heretofore. We are indebted to the Bankers' Magazine of this month for a reprint, in a more convenient form, of the returns contained in the Gazette of the circulation or notes in England for the weeks ending the 19th and 26th of October and the 2d and 9th of November ; and as far as the persons immediately connected with the different banks are concerned in this question, these returns are all that they can require, and are much better adapted for reference than the Gazettes themselves ; but they are not sufficient for the wants of the public, as very few persons can be expected to take the trouble of adding up six closely printed pages, containing each four distinct columns of large amounts, and the aggregate of which is nearly 32,000,000. We therefore insert the following abstract, compiled from these tables : The four weekly returns above enumerated form to gether the aggregate circulation of the month ending on the 9th of November, and give an average circula tion as follows : PriVate banks Joint-stock banks 3,220,171 Total circulation of private notes in Eng land 7,855,212 3n a comparison with the return for the month ending he 12th of October, this shows : A decrease in the notes of the private banks of A decrease in the notes of the joint stock banks of . 39,121 111.345 Total decrease last month ... 150,466 And as compared with the same period last year : Decrease in the notes of the private-banks 269,533 Decrease in the notes of the joint-stock banks Total decrease as compared with the same period last year 364,680 The Bankers' Almanack for 1845, gives a return of the country bank ~issues, as allowed by the last Act, which is probably more correct than any yet pub lished, as they have corrected several slight errors. which appear to have been made in the Gazettes. Their estimate is as follows : 208 private banks allowed to issue .... £5,153,407 72 joint-stock banks allowed to issue 3,495,446 £8,648,853 From a comparison of this statement with the aboNe monthly average, it appears that the private banks are about 520,0001., and the joint-stock banks about 270,000 i, below their allowed issues. And it may here be ob served, that the last week, ending the 9th of November, is in both cases lower than the above average of the month. GOLDEN RULES for MENDICANTS. (From Cruikshank's Comic Almanack for 1845.) 1. Always carry a box of lucifers in your hand- It is the lbgis of a beggar's life, and shields him from the invasion of policemen. 2. Never be lame and blind together in the same town. thie infirmity at a time is enough for the coldest sympathy. 3. Run sedulously after Quakers and fat ladies, especially if you have with you at the time a wife and a large family. 4. Never fail to sing out well in cold weather. If you have three or four little boys and girls of mixed sizes, to sing with you, all the better. Always choose the middle of the street to give effect to your voices. 5. You must be " frozen out" regularly every winter, and mount duty in the streets, with a pitch fork, tipped with a cabbage, over your shoulder. 6. Your costume in each season must be the oppo site of that usually worn ; that is to say, during the winter, a pair of very thin trousers and a corazza will be all you require. Shiver violently and chatter your teeth as often as a person passes you. A sailor's hat, striped shirt, ,and canvas trousers, are not bad in a country town. 7. Mind, in your orations, you " haven't tasted food for three days," and make a practice of picking up bones, or old crusts, out of the gutter, and gnaw ing them, if there is any one looking at you. 8. Never be too modest, if any one has relieved you, to ask for " an old coat, or a pair of old shoes." Recollect, llolywell-street is not too proud to pur chase the most worthless of wearing apparel. 9. Take care, if you are deaf and dumb, not to answer any one. Suffer yourself to be taken into custcdy rather than notice the impertinent questions of an officer of the Mendicity Society. 10. Take care of long crossings, if you are very lame. It is extremely unpleasant, as well as infra dig., to carry your crutches and run all of a sudden, if you happen to have at your heels a mad bull or a racing omnibus. 11. Chalk writing is unprofitable, and belongs to the old school. If you are driven to it, don't mind about spelling incorrectly, and be sure you are " starving." Quiet spots, like Gower street or 'Rus sell-square, are the best markets for this branch of the profession. In great thoroughfares you will have your fresco or caligraphy rubbed out by every un feeling passer-by, and be obliged ultimately to " walk your chalke FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT IN BIRMINGHAM. On Tuesday evening last, at the Grand Junction station. yard, in Birmingham, a young man, named William Graystone, many years employed as a cleaner on the Birmingham line, was assisting in removing an engine, called the Odin, from one line to another, and while doing so he had occasion to move in front of the engine. As he was walking on, however, ad vancing towards an ash pit, a policeman and others who saw him, and anticipated danger from his posi tion, cried out to him to take care. He replied that all would be right, and he immediately started off before the engine, which was then moving rapidly, and he jumped into the ash pit, where he stood for a mo ment, apparently not knowing what to do, although he had only to stoop and allow the engine to pass over him. That, however, he unfortunately did not do, but ran to the end of the pit, and endeavoured to get up three or four steps. In this, however, he failed; he slipped on one side, the engine arrived rapidly upon him, and he was swept away by the ash-pan, and crushed to death in a most frightful manner. He was found lying on his face, quite dead, in a second ash-pit, at a distance of eight yards, with his body horribly mangled, particularly his head, in which not a single feature could be recognised. An inquest was held on the body on Wednesday night, before J. B. Davies, Esq., and a verdict of accidental death. returned. THE HAIR.—Of the numerous compounds con stantly announced for promoting the growth or reproduc tion of the hair, few survive, even in name, beyond a very limited period ; whilst " Rowland's Macassar Oil," with a reputation unparalleled, is still on the increase in public es timation. The singular virtues of this successful invention for restoring, preserving, and beautifying the human hair, are too well known and appreciated to need much comment. The very facts of the high and distinguished patronage it enjoys, its general use in all countries, together with nu- memos testimonials constantly received in its favour, are stir thorities which stamp its superior excellence and title over all attempts of a similar nature. Being universally preferred, its consequent great demand ex cites the cupidity of un principled shopkeepers, who vend the most spuuinerious trol le i l as the ff genuine" Macassar Oil : whereas the gen Artics wholly the invention and P roperty of 4.

Britain SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.--Posterity's Plutarch (who will perhaps look back to a Lord Mayor as a Megalatherion, which, we may inform our mere English readers, means a great beast—no longer extant) will perhaps amuse himself, after the manner of his classical pro • totype, with drawing a parallel—or rather contrast between the present Lord Mayor and the pre sent Bishop of London. The characteristic effort of the former exalted functionary seems to make differences, and the characteristic effort of the latter (as Sir Peter Laurie says) to split them. If Bishop Blomfield and Lord Mayor Gibbs both ener gised in the same sphere of action, the latter would bloW up billows for the former to ride up and down upon. The all-defying soul of Gibbs would complete what is wanting to the scolding one of Phillpotts. The Lord Mayor's soul is above scolding, and seems to find its exclusive satisfaction in assuming attitudes of defiance on grounds no one else would think tenable. With such a Primate, the Church would witness the days of Archbishop Laud back—and something more. We have not brought these spiritual and secular digni taries into mere arbitrary juxtaposition, as our readers will perceive, it' they turn to the scene in yester day's Common Council. The Lord Mayor again ex hibited himself in his character—unaccountable, and immoveable (again too on a matter of finance)—the juAtum et tenacem propositi virum, on whom the civium ardor prava jubentium is simply thrown away. If the Puseyites ever elect a Pope (and for some reason, best known to themselves, they don't choose to obey the existing one, whom Mr. Ward nevertheless calls the " Chief Bishop on Earth," and concerning whose infallibility Mr. F. Faber cites with approbation the sentiment of Manzoni—that it is " the main point, from which the smallest deviation is damnable heresy") —if, webnay say, the Puseyites ever elect a Pope of their own—and they seem on the point of doing so— we should strongly recommend them to take into con sideration the unique aptitudes for their purpose of the present Lord Mayor, when the term of his present office shall have happily expired. " Jove in the chair "Of the skies Lord Mayor," was a joke to L( rd Mayor Gibbs in this crowning year of his astonishing Aldermanship. His "dogmatic decrees" are just what the Puseyites want—decisions, namely, which are not to be criticised' or questioned " without presumption." Any—attempt to get either an account eran argument from him—in short to question the infallibility of his sum total, whether of mind or money—is an attempt not to be enter tained or discussed, but to be put down as damnable heresy.. The scene of yesterday was a specimen of this. The matter which had been under discussion was the report made to the Court by their Finance Com mittee, to whom had been referred the petition of the Rev. James Tyler, 8.D., rector of the parish of St. Giles's-in-the-Fields, praying for pecuniary aid towards the erection of a new free church in that district, which was brought up and read.—lt recommended a grant of 2001. in aid of the undertaking. On the mo tion that - the Court agree with the Committee in their report being put, Sir Peter Laurie made an oration, in reading which we were tempted to exclaim—" Mon fine parle, et meme it park bien." It is not, perhaps, known so universally as, we think, it ought to be, that Sir Peter Laurie has set his heart upon two things, as his special earthly mission, and which he looks upon himself as the honoured instrument destined for accomplishing. One of them is the taking up of wood pavement and the other the putting down of Puseyism. When Sir Peter Laurie shall have accom plished both these great works single-handed, he will sing his Nunc dimittis. There may be more far sighted sagacity even than usual in these two enter prises, which the City champion of our Protest antism and paving-stones is thus carrying on, as it, were, abreast. If Puseyism and wood-pavements continue extending themselves concurrently any far. ther, we are evidently threatened with the double danger of a revived disposition towards autos da fe, and of the temptation to celebrate such acts im promptu, afforded by wood ready at foot. We must refer our readers to Sir Peter Laurie's own words for a full estimate of his wisdom, only remarking that we .have, for once, the satisfaction in a good measure of agreeing with him. But Lord Mayor Gibbs's last -pew exhibition of infallibility was the immediate sub ject.of our notice. After some discussion on the mo tion for agreeing to the report— " The 'Lord Mayor, after referring to the original petition and to:•the terms of the report, and conferring upon them with the Recorder, stated that the report not being hi accordance with, the reference, it must fall to the ground, as the question could not be put. " A stormy scene here ensueitt . in which it was con tended by Mr. Wire and several others, that it was for the Court to judge of the fact whether or not the report accorded with the terms of the reference, and that the Court would surrender its privileges if it submitted in such a matter to the dictum of the Lord Mayor. " A scene of great confusion prevailed, but "The Lord Mayor persisted in his decision, and called for the next order on the paper to be taken, upon which " Mr. De Jersey moved that the Court do now ad- journ. " On this motion a division took place, when there appeared—For the adjournment, 38 ; against it, 31 ; majority 7. " The Lord Mayor then retired with the other autho rities, but " Mr.- W. H. Ashurst called upon the members to remain, as he main taiad the privilege of the Court had been invaded by the decision at which the Lord Mayor had arrived." A large body remained accordingly, and agreed to a resolution Cu the effect. that " It is the opinion of this meeting that the ruling of the Lord Mayor on the discussion 0f the report of the Finance Com mittee, touching the grant of 2001. to the new free church in St. Giles's-in-the-Fields, is subversive of the rights of free discussion, and interferes with the privileges of the Court of Common Council.". It is clear the magnanimous breast of Gibbs confronts a world . vvhich is not worthy of him. It is equally clear the Press should vote him a piece of plate—we forbear to say what Metal. At this dull season, the Fourth Estate owe him a deep debt of gratitude. Office, 2, York-street, Covent-garden ; and all Booksellers.

The existing railway arrangements render it im perative that you shol.ikl provide yourselves with a large stock of philosoply - , to enable you to put up with certain inconveniences, which you will be sure, to a greater or less ey.tent, to encounter on most lines, and whereof a dasification is hereby appended for your benefit. First- Class.-- Tin- inconvelice this class is, that your fare will be about twice as much as you ought in fairness to pay. You run, perhaps, rather less risk in this class than in the others of having your neck broken ; but you must not be unT.epared for such a contingency. Second Class.—ln travelling by the second class you will do well to wear a respirator, unlc,s y ou wish to be choked with dust and ashes from the engine close in front of you. Also, if you are going far, you are recommended to put on a diving-dress, like that esed at the P. lyteebnic : h• cause, is it shoul.i ran much our the sides of the carriage being - open, ycu a in to ride in a pool of water. &pity must not bait, should you have for next neighbour a riga muffin in :handcuffs, with a policeman n •xt Ile hardness of your seat is a iiii•re trill • ; th:it is the least of the annoy ances to which you are judi ciously Subjected, with the v.ew cif driv,ag you into the first-class Third Class.—Make up your mind for or mitigated hail, rain, sleet, snow, thunder, and lightning. Look out for a double allowance of sn:oke, dust, dirt, and everything that is disagreeable. Be content to run a twofold risk of loss of life and limb. Do act expect the luxury of a seat. As an individual and a tra veller, you are one of the lower classes—a pm r, beg garly, contemptible person—and. your comfort and convenience are not to be attended to. All Three Classes.—Punctuality may be the soul of business, but suppose not that it•is the spirit of railways. If you do not care whether you keep an appointment or not, make it on the faith of the com pany, by all means; but otherwise by none. Regard starting, or arriving at your destination, only half an-hour too late, as luck. You pay nothing extra to attendants for civility, so you must not hope for it. Remember that you are at the mercy of the company, as to wht re you may stop for refreshments; for which, ac cordingly, be not surprised if you have to pay through the nose. Beware, if you quit the Vain for an in stant, lest it move on ; you have paid your money, the rest is your own look-out, and, you may depend, will be no one else's. For loss and damage of lug gage, and the like little mishaps, prepare yourself 115 ,a matter of course; and if at the end of your jour ney you find yourself in a whole skin—thank y our I stars. LOSS OF THE PRESIDENT. INGENIOUS MODE OF "RAISING THE WIND." On Monday morning, Mr. James Reay, the Se cretary of the Liverpool Guardian Society, received a letter - from Edinburgh, informing him that a prin ter, or pretended printer, of thd name of Jobn Neale, had been apprehended in that city, on a charge of having obtained money from the public by means of the representations contained in a printed paper. -A copy of the document was enclosed to Mr. Reay, with the view of his ascertaining whether it was genuine cr fictitious. It set forth that a meeting of the Ladies Association had been held in the Rotunda Booms, Liverpool, in January, 1843, for the pu-pwe of raising funds to relieve the orp' ans '1 widows of those who had perished in ii.e that a Rev. Mr. Field presided on the o. ca-i° red delivered an opening speech. Then followed th e speech,. drawn up with con4derable tact and !kiP, in which the Rev. Chairman was made to entage upon the lamentable catastrophe which had occurred, to speak of the sufferings of the hen 1.•;,. d in language of the most humane and s . , n pathy,. and to conclude by attributin.! , Itc ad vent to one Of the incrutaisle pr.,‘ide;ccs of an tli.vvise, merciful, and inumetil (I*..

Hornby fur 20/. ; the Misses —, who had lost their father on board, 20/. ; and so on, all in a printed form, and executed in excellent typo.. graphy, on a sheet of letter paper of superior qua lity. So far as Mr. Reay's inquiries have gone, it would appear that the whole was a most ingeniously contrived scheme. • No such meeting of the Ladies Association was, it seems;. held at the 11.0•Aulda Rooms ; there is noi`any reverend gentleman, of denomination, of the name of Field in Liverpool ; ?Jr. Sterling and Mrs. Ferguson are unknown ; and some of the parties who are represented as having contri buted 20/., deny that they ever gave a shilling. Fur ther inquiries will, however, be made, and the result will be communicated to Edinburgh. We under stand that a copy of a similar document has been '.aken round in some of the towns in England and Ire. and.—Liverpool Courier. .~ ', -~-~; r LOVE'S DISGUISES. An affair of rather an extraordinary nature is at present being investigated by the Bombay Magistrates, in which a Parsee youth o f a p l eas i ng exterior is defendant. The young man is c h arge d with having induced the fair wife of a friend to elope with him from the house of her husband at Poonah, and bring away with her several articles of jewellery. It appears that the injured hus band was for some time previous to the elopement laid up with sore eyes ; the defendant introduced him self as a physician, and was engaged by the plaintiff as his medical attendant, during which time he ma naged to seduce the affections of his patron's wife, and planned the elopement, which was ultimately carried into effect, under the guise of the profession, which he had assumed ; he made thz credulous hus band believe that he would insure him a complete cure in one night, if he would submit to his eyes being bandaged for that time. The bandage was ac cordingly put on, and kept on till the next morning, when he himself removed it, and found too hite that he had been hoaxed. Ile called for the doctor, who was not, of course, to be found ; he then called for his wife, but she likewise not being in the house, he inquired of the neighbours if they hail F., , his astonishment may be conceivid she had, the night before, been seen in co,,,p'.n) with the doctor on the road to Bombay. lie imme diately set out in search of the runaways, and succeeded in reaching Bombay a day after them, but did not meet them. On Saturday last he met the defendant in the streets, and itnntk diatt‘ly g•.:ve him into the custody of a policeman ; ,•ealch warrants were shortly issued, but his wife has not as yet been found, and the prisoner denies :ill know ledge of her after his leaving the bowie of tit( comphlirant. There is no doubt but that the lady is well sati , Ji. , 4l M i h In r situation, and is in concealment. —Agra Akbar. MISDIRECTED INGENUITY.—Mr. Waroer, :pi iege ttious watchmaker and jeweller, mho occupies a stand at the Polytechnic Institution, has comp:eted tio• model of a high-pressure steam-engine, so small that it stands upon a four-penny piece e ith ground to spare ! It is the most curious specimen of minute workmanship ever seen, each part being made according to scale, and the whole occupying so small a space that, with the exception of the flywheel, it might be covered with a thimble. It is not simply a model out wardly, it works with the greatest activity by meals of atraoipheric pressure (in lieu of steam), and the motion of the little thing as its parts are seen labouring and heaving under the first influence is indescribably curious and beautiful. Some months have been expended upon the structure of this Lilli putian engine by Mr. Warner; and the difficulty of the undertaking may be easily conceived when it is remembered how minute the valves, piston, sockets, screws and hidden apparatus must be, and how accurately they must be moulded and fitted, to in sure unbroken functional motion. It is altogether a pretty toy, and an extraordinary instance of what patience, persevereance, and expert artisanship, can accomplish. But Mr. Warner is a practised hand at such curiosities. His cases abound with arti cles manufactured for elfin use. lie has scissors so minute that some hundreds of them go to the ounce ; and there are knives belonging to the same family, which, small as they are, open and shut with a smart cliek. Quantities of other things are there of e like kind, made with the greatest Neatness, requiring eyes of microscopic clearness to ascertain their full per fections, Mr. Warner, we should imagine, works e x .. elusively for the fairies—no doubt he is entitled, by let ters Intent, to wear Oberon's arms over his door.— Mechanic's Magazine.
