The great success which has attended the establishment of Joint Stock Banks in London, as well as throughout England generally, confirming as it sines the large experience of what may now be said to have become the universal mode of banking in Scotland—the fast increasing and almost unanimous eenviction of the public mind in favour of that system which, while it affords the greatest amount of security to the customer, is found to yield an este slate profit to the proprietary—make it unnecessary to offer any statement explanatory of the grounds upon which the Directors have been induced to undertake the organization of the Usaien Bank of London, as a bank of deposit is the metropolis, and for the transaction of all business falling strictly within the scope of banking. They will only observe, that in the monetary capital of the world there are only three establishments of a similar descrip tion, with less than 1,000,0001. of paid alp capital, while in Edin burgh, a city, compared with London, of very limited commercial relations, there are no less than five joint-stock banks, having e ?Lilt up capital of 4,100,0001., the stock of eve r y one o f w hi c h bears a very considerable premium, most of them having besides Paid large bonuses to the proprietors, and all allowing interest to easterners on their deposits. The following extract front the official share list of December 25, 1 188, shows the state of the five banks alluded to : accts. Paid up Dividend. Original Paid Present Share. up.

The Directors, having felt that an additional Bank of this de seription was called for, have for some timebeen engaged in making the necessary preliminary arrangements, and, having received the most flattering encouragement and assurances of support in busi sinese front capitalists in the metropolis and the country, they have now resolved to commence operations without delay, feeling assured that the judicious arran"ements they have ent ere d into, and the principles on which the Bank will be condu c t e d, will btain the confidence and support of the commercial and trading community, and the public generally. By taking advantage of the experience of similar establishments which have preceded them, and avoiding whatever had been found faulty or inconvenient in constitution or principle of management, they anticipate that the same, if not a larger, degree of success will mark their progress, and open up to the shareholders, as well Ls to their customers, the combined and reciprocal advantages which experience has proved will result from a Joint Stock Bank when properly conducted. It is the intention of the Directors to allow interest en deposit accounts, under proper rules and regulations, which, with other details as to the transaction of business with the Bank, will be hereafter announced. As a suScient capital has already been subscribed to enable the Directors to commence business immediately, they have resolved, in order to avoid the inconvenience which has been found to arise in other undertakings from an unrestricted application for shares, and to induce only those to apply who wish to become bona fide proprietors, that they will not entertain any application unless made in the printed forms provided by tisem for that purpose, and accom panied by a payment of 21. upon each share applied for, the Di rectors reserving to themselves at the time of appropriation the right to reject or comply with such application either in whole or in ; the money to be returned if the application be rejected , and if accepted to be placed to the credit of the party in respect to the shares allotted to him. For the guidance of those who may wish to become proprietors, it may be mentioned that it is not in contemplation to call up *ore than IW. per share for the next two years. The Directors have postponed filling up the direction to the full limber of Li, in order to give them the opportunity of selecting in fluential proprietors, whose assistance and co-operation they may think it advisable to secure for the interests of the concern. Power is reserved to them for that purpose, and they are also authorized to complete all other arrangements necessary for putting the Company into immediate operation.

The General Steam Navigation Company's packet the Attwood, from Rotterdam, arrived off the Custom house, at half-past one o'clock, p.m., on Saturday. On the afternoon of Wednesday last the London steam-sh:p, while on her passage from Hull to London, observed the hull of a vessel about fifteen miles from the mouth of the Humber, apparently abandoned, but having . a signal of distress flying. Captain Taylor, the master of the London, at once determined on nearing the vessel, which proved to be the William and Henry, of Sunderland, Captain Henry Brary, which had been blown from her anchorage in Sunderland Roads, while delivering: her ballast, intending to take in a cargo of coals for the London market. The hurricane which drove her from bar moor ings proved very disastrous, every stitch of canvass was blown from her, her anchors and cables lost, and ultimately, to save her from going down, her masts and rigging were cut away, thus leaving her a complete wreck. In this de plorable state, the crew every moment expecting her to Fink, she was found by Captain Taylor, who at once pro ceeded to take her in tow, which was accomplished by the steady and determined perseverance of Captain Taylor and his crew, Their difficulties, however, were greatly in creased by the violence of the gale, which caused the breaking of the warps by which the ship was secured to the steamer n o lest than four ti mes. C aptain Taylor and his men, with a resolution which does them infinite credit, refused to leave her in her disabled state, and by great exer tions happily succeeded in leaving the vessel and crow in Harwich harbour. Notwithstanding the delay necessarily arising from these circumstances, the London arrived at her destinati on , Custom-house-quay, on T hursday evening, having left Hull on 'Wednesday morning.

Tbn Magistrates also expressed their de termination to put an end to the system of delay which has so long existed on that line of road, An inquest was held at the Bedford Arms Tavern, High-street, Camden T 44, 0, on Saturday, on the body of Mr. C. Bevan. From the ov id enoe it appeared that de ceased bad formerly been in an tatensive way of business as a confectioner in Lamb's Conduit street, having purchased the goodwill of the trade for about 8,0001. At that time he was possessed of very considerable property, but from a fondness for speculation b e became embarrassed, and ulti mately was made a bankrupt. By the exertions of his friends he had recently been appointed to look; after a gentleman of property in Camden Town who is of weak mind. On Wednesday last they had been out for a walk, and deepased in returning -4, no sooner sat down, than he fell backwards, and instantly expired.

TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY JOURNEYMEN DIS- CHARGED. TO BOOKSELLERS, PUBLISHERS, and the PUBLIC in general.—The following label having been pasted on the copies of " Tredgold's Civil Engineering, Steam Navigation, &c.," lately issued,— " The ombination among the Journeymen Binders, compels the Publisher for the present to issue the work sewed, instead of boarded. It is, however, put together in such a way that it can be referred to with the same facility as if it was boarded ; and being carefully sewed, can be put into boards or half-binding without being taken to pieces." The Journeymen Bookbinders beg leave to state that the partial suspension of their trade hero alluded to, is in consequence of three of the principal Employers in the City, and others belonging to their Trades Union, called " The Master Bookbinders' Associa tion," formed about two years since, having been directed by that Association to DISCHARGE ALL THEIR WORKMEN who belonged to the Journeymen's Trade Society, which has existed upwards of Fifty Years, and to which many of these Employers formerly belonged. It will be seen, therefore, that whatever in convenience the Public may sustain front this interruption of their trade, proceeds, not from the Journeymen, but entirely frum the Employers.

The LONDON SATURDAY JOURNAL is intended to be a cheap Weekly Periodical, whose chief object is to aid in the Moral and Social Improvement of the bulk of the community. A regular demand now exists amongst a very large class for literary information, and " useful knowledge," which is, of course, supplied from various quarters; but there is no existing cheap Periodical which aims at occupying the peculiar ground open to the LONDON SATURDAY JOURNAL. Without coming under the designation of what is usually under stood as a " religious" Periodical, it is intended that the Journal should have a distinctive Christian character; that it should habi tually appeal to tho religious feeling, as well as the understanding, of its readers ; and that both its information and its amusement should have a higher aim than passing gratification. By carefully avoiding a sectarian spirit, it is hoped that the Journal will be ac ceptable to all denominations; and by embracing the usual topics of a Literary Weekly Periodical, that it will obtain a wide range of usefulness, and have both power and opportunity to aid in promoting the social advancement of man.

PRICE sd. FR AN CE. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES. SITTING OF THURSDAY, JAN. 10. After speeches little listened to, from Messrs. Beaudin and Coyne, M. Lamartine ascended the tribune : an observation of M. Titters had torn him from intended silence. M. Thiers said esterday, that all the capacities of the Chamber were on one side (interruption). M. Thiers denied his having said so. M. Lamartine maintained, that conscientious deputies might be as important, however silent, and however little candidates for place, as the most eloquent candidate for office. He then declared the address unconstitutional. Still he thought that the acts of M. Mole were but the consequence of treaties, and of the acts of his predecessors. The present Cabinet had done three great acts—the amnesty, the dissolution of the Chamber, and the maintenance of French supremacy in Africa. All of these he approved. He did not censure the Address for leaning to the Left, represented as the Left was by the sincerity and moderation of M. Barrot ; but he accused the Address of being extra-parliamentary. The paragraph relative to the responsibility of the Crown represented the Ministry to be transparent, and behind it were visible the King and his personal influence, which were thus exposed to serious and dangerous responsibility. The orator then entered into a very profound and not very clear disquisition on the three powers of constitutional Government, and this Government in general. He accused the Opposition of seeking to make Royalty a mere abstraction. He declared that the Ministry covered the Throne with sufficient responsi bility. He would give no vote which might bring in an equi vocal Ministry ; but would support the present until a majority declared itself capable of forming an united and frank Admi nistration. M. Jouffray said he had supported every Administration which had held power for the last seven years, and if he now abandoned the present Ministry, and went into momen tary opposition, it was for the same conservative reasons. He did not oppose the Ministry, because it wanted capacity. M. Mole had ample intelligence and patriotism to satisfy him. This was not his cause of complaint. What he objected to was the weakness of the Ministry; its want of root in the Chamber, and of influence in the country. M. Jars complained of the systematic opposition of the coalition, and conceived that the Chamber in addressing a lecture to all the Powers of the State had exceeded its own. He wished to know the object of putting forward the maxim, Le Roi regne et ne gouverne pas. What was meant by reigning? Was it to be wished that in a country like France, where men were held in consideration only for their acts, there should be one individual intrinsically worth nothing, or fit only tolflgure on occasions of idle ceremony 2—(Cries of " Order.") M. Havin—This language is unconstitutional. The King should never be alluded to within these walls. M. Odillon Barrot was astonished that • the true principles of a constitutional Government should be put in question at every moment, and he considered it most dangerous to place the Crown and the parliamentary powers in opposition to each other. It was decidedly for the interest of the Crown that the Ministry should be parliamentary, and should be supported by the Chambers. - M. Amilhau, who was loudly called for by the Deputies of the Centre, proposed the following amendment to the first two paragraphs of the Address :—" Sire--The Chamber of De puties congratulates itself with you on the prosperity of the country. The prosperity has necessarily increased amidst the peace which France owes to your Majesty's Government, and to the regular co-operation of the powers of the State. " Under this Government, jealous of our dignity and the faithful guardian of our alliances, France still bolds in the world, and in the esteem of nations, the rank which belongs to her, and which she cannot forfeit." M. Sauzet said that if he had conceived the prerogatives of the Crown to be invaded by the Address, he would have un hesitatingly separated from his friends, for he regarded the royal authority as the palladium of liberty ; but he thought that the reality of Ministerial responsibility was of equal im portance. He considered it necessary that the monarchy should be protected. This was the spirit and meaning of the Address, which, thus understood, was a respectful and confident appeal to the Sovereign.—( From the Centre, " Enough, en oug h I") Yes, a confident appeal, for, on th e day after the Revolution, the Monarch had said—" The Charter shall henceforth be a reality."—(Prolonged laughter from the Centre.) M. Thiers—lt seems that certain Hon. Deputies have no longer faith in the Charter.---( From the Left, " Silence.") M. Sauzet—The amendment makes over the whole address to the Ministerial side.—( Loud cries of " Question" were here uttered by the Centre, and of " Ballot" by the Left. ) The President—Twenty members have called for a ballot. I shall proceed to have the names called over. The Chamber here demanded that the paragraphs of the amendment should be put to the vote separately, and the President accordingly again read the text of the first paragraph of the amendment. M. Guizot wished it to be well understood that the Com mittee on the address rejected the amendment as expressing a fallacy ; there must be no misconception on this subject.— ('` We know that," " Enough, enough," from the Centre.") M. Guizot stood with folded arms, awaiting silence.— " Enough, enough," from the Centre. "Go on, go on " . , from the Left. M. Guizot—The amendment expresses adhesion to the policy of the Cabinet. The intention of the Committee was very different. The Committee rejects the amendment. The Chamber having decided upon voting only on the first paragraph of the amendment, the ballot took place with the following result : Number of voters, 425; Absolute majority, 213. For the amendment, 216 ; against it, 209. Majority in favour of Miriisters, 7. The first paragraph of M. Amilhau's amendment was then declared to be adopted. The sitting was adjourned amidst great tumult at half-past seven. SITTING OF FRIDAY, JAN. 11. M. Amilhau having adjourned the second part of his amend ment, the Chamber passed to the considerati o n of the Belgian question. M. Lanyer proposed, as an amendment, to insert the words " with confidence" in the phrase of the " Chamber awaits the issue of negotiations." M. Fulcheron supported the amendment, which was opposed by Messrs. Larabet and M auguin. The President of the Council then spoke a repetition of the argument, which he had uttered in the Chamber of Peers, and ended by summoning the Commission to state its opinions. M. Thiers accor di ngly rose, and began by saying, he was delighted sit arriving at something positive, in lieu of the vague di,;quisitions hitherto indulged in. He would not undertake to ex amine the force of the treaty. He would merely examine it, premising, that when he heard M. Mole declare so perempto rily the treaty to be definitive and obligatory, except a s far as regarded the money question reserved in the Protocol, he saw that the Minister had entered on the negotiation predeter mined to cede, and that the Belgians were thus from the first abandoned. The origin of the Belgian revolution is well known. In 1815 Belgium remained a great fragment of Na poleon's empire, which could not be given to a n y o f the Great P owers, and that for that reason it was given to Holland. What was here attempted was an impossibility, viz. : to force two people to bind together— one Catholic, the other Protestant—with a rivalry of interests and a permanence of hostility between them of four centuries. Holland had of old established against the /lel gian provinces of Austria the most extraordinary of monopolies —the closing of the Scheldt. Hence profound antipathy between the nations ; so that in the united Chamber of the Low Countries, the Dutch deputies always voted on the one side, and the Belgian deputies on the other, no matter whether the question was religion or finance. Even in France it was difficult to reconcile sgriculture and commerce. How then could commercial Hatted be got to agree with manufacturing and productive Holland? The Kia.g. of Holland was a monarch of great intelligence, but the tack imposed on him was impracticable ; and in impracticable sitoe.tions, the greater the character set to cope with them, the greeter the difficulties'. In France it reqeieed all the madness of Charles the Tenth to excite a revolution. In Belgium, the echo of that of France suf ficed. After the revolution, it must be owned that the great powers of Europe showed much moderation and good sense, in admitting tho separation of Holland and Belgium. But the dif ficulty was with regard to L uxem b urg . L uxemburg was Bel. glum as much as (and or Brussels, and had been ever so, under the Governments of Spain and Austria. It had not taken the word of command to insurge from Brussels. Limburg and Luxemburg rose and accomplished their insurrection si multaneou4y with Brussels, animated with the same feelings. It was not a wish for conquest or aggrandisement which made a Belgian feel for the Luxemburgliers, but grief and shame to see their comrades in sentiment and in act torn from them, arid forced to resum e the yoke of an irritated master. If it was merely the ambition of Leopold, who wanted 300,000 ad ditional subjects to the four millions over which ho ruled, he (M. Thiers) would not listen for one moment to the claim. But tlse Claim was, on the contrary, made by a people, not from ambition or encroachment, but on moral and honourable grounds. He believed that Holland and the Powers might hive yielded to these considerations but for the argument of the confederation, Luxemburg having been given to the King of Holland, in exchange for territories included in the federation, and itself, in consequence, rendered fede rative. In the years which immediately succeeded the revo lution the Government had an excellent people behind it, aroused to political susceptibility, and Jealous of the national honour. This excited and huted spirit was dangerous, was menacing, was difficult to repress. But it also gave force to the cabinet in the eyes of Europe AO in its negotiations. Now, thin spirit is allayed, and the tendency was in a con trary direction to a retrograde and pusillanimous policy. And it was for that reason he had quitted office and refused to continue in power—because he felt the necessity of supplying the moral supp ort w hi ch the ex.aited state of the French l'o pulation onc e gevO, >;;y Increased firmness andtenacity in the Govefement. He was as much aware as any one of the no. eessity of avoiding war, and of leaving the people to the re pose which the/ needed. I s . 4. et the t , conle 51Y:41:4,1`, he would A ~ L v~' say, but in that case let Statesmen wake.(—Applanse.) It was said this was a question of peace or war. It was so. But when it was said take prudent Ministers and you will have peace, take bold Ministers and you will have war, it was a mis take. For in consequence of the over-prudent and irresolute policy of the present ministers, there was a possibility of war on both sides —war, if the great powers were resisted—and war from the discontent and outburst of populations, if they were ceded. The tame system of neutrality was that pre. sumed by the words of the address. Count Mole replied.—M. Thiers, he said, had left a doubt whether he considered the treat of the Twenty-four Articles obligatory or not. He (Count Mole) considered it so, though he had not entered upon negotiation without hopes of obtain ing- a modification. The Cabinet had never hesitated. It had been accused of encouraging the Belgians and King Leopold. This was not true. The Cabinet had never dis guised its intentions. He felt all that was said for Luxem. burgh ; but it was in 1832 that this cause ought to have been pleaded. The Chamber then proceeded to ballot, when out of 428 members present 216 were for the amendment, adding the terms " with confidence," 212 were against it, leaving thus majority of four for the Ministry. Chamber adjourned. ►SITTING OF SATURDAY, JAN. 12. The Chamber proceeded to the paragraph respecting Ancona. M. Jassieu developed the amendment proposed by the minority of the commission, erasing from the address the ex pression of regret that the evacuation of Ancona had not taken place under more opportune circumstances, and with the gua. rantee that a wise policy demanded. M. Duchatel complained that Ministers had refused, al though the evacuation of Ancona was an accomplished fact, to produce the documents which might have thrown light on the preceding negotiation. Casimir Perier's Cabinet, the Duc de Broglie's, M. Thiers's—had all refused to evacuate Ancona without guarantees for the liberation of the Legation. The present Cabinet had adopted another policy ; it pleaded that preceding Cabinets had bequeathed to it the necessity of yielding ; but that he denied. France asked for the gift of free institutions to the Romagna, not because it pretended to force the Court of Rome to adopt French ideas, but because their institutions were to pro v id e f or th e independence of the country, and to prevent its continued occupation by the Aus. trians. The question of Ancona was intimately connected with the Belgian one. There was a possibility of the Prussian troops occupying Limburg and Luxemburg : he need not say what would be the consequence of such an event. The Chamber at once would foresee what must be the conse quences. He said that in such a state of things in which such consequences were possible, it was highly impolitic to have abandoned Ancona. M. Jaques Lefevre'spoke in favour of the amendment. Marshal Clausel accused the Government of precipitation and neglect in having abandoned Ancona without their gua rantee, which Casimir Perier sent a division of troops to seek. Ancona, he said, was Italy; and it was a serious fault to have given it up. General Lancy was of a contrary opinion. General Bugeaud corroborated the opinion of Gen. Laney. Ancona could not be defended. France had thirty millions of men, and with steam-boats was mistress of any point. M. Thiers said it would appear, from what Gen. I3ugeaud said, that Casimir Perier, Marshal Soult, and Admiral de Rigny must have been very imprudent persons to have ordered, as Ministers, the expedition. Nevertheless these Ministers had well examined the question. Napoleon had written— " Ancona was an excellent port, at so many days' sail front Trieste and Constantinople, and France ought to keep Ancona at the end of the peace, for the rule of French influence in the Adriatic. It could support a long siege with a garrison of 1,500 men." This was the opinion of General Bonaparte. Here General LANCY declared that since General Bonaparte had written this, Ancona had stood a siege, and had some of its fortifications rased. M. TRIERS denied this. Ancona was much stronger now than when Bonaparte wrote. It had the lunette of San Ste fano, the strongest of its works, which did not exist then. After the battle of Trebbia, General Meunier had stood a siege in Ancona with no more than 2,000 men, against a be sieging force of 42,000 men. Ancona could stand with 1,500 men for lb days against any sudden attack. It had 58 piezes of cannon, and the population would infallibly aid the garrison. Any number of thousands of men might be sent from Africa to Ancona in a few days, without Europe's knowing any thing about it till the troops had arrived and the Safety of the for tress had been assured. Count MOLE then rose.—( Left speaking.) FRENCH FUNDS.—Paais, JANUARY 12, First Highest I ow, st Last French 5 per Cents Price. Price. P r i ce.

The King will go into mourning for two 'months from this day, on account of the death of the Duch , 88 of Wurtemberg. On the Bth of this month there was a vitaent hurricane on our coasts. It was remarked at Ostend, as a very extraordinary circumstance, that the water in the port was up to 22 feet on the scale, whereas it ought to have been low water. The same was the case on the whole coast, especially at Blun kenberghe. A letter from Ostend contains a long account of the ship.. wreck, off that port, of the Leonidas, from Sunderland to Southampton, with coals, which had been driven out of its course, and obliged to make for Ostend. It run aground on Thursday evening. The crew were got off with very great difficulty. They are, however, all saved. They were received with the greatest kindness by the English Con suls, and by M. Hamen, a merchant, opposite to whose house the vessel ran ashore, and who supplied them with provisions and clothing. At daybreak, the wind having abated, mea. sures were taken to save all that was possible. The cargo and all the papers were saved, but the hull, in' which there are seven leaks, will be sold. In the storm of the Bth, the steeple of the church of Hecblel was struck by lightning, and set on fire; the damage was not considerable. This is the third time that that steeple has been struck by lightning. BELGIAN l 'UNDS—BßuasuLs, JAN. 12, Actual Debt, '2 per Cent.

FOREIGN WOOL.-LinDs.-There is not much doing in the markets just now, but prices are firm, and are likely to re main so. The imports into the United Kingdom during the past year are as follows :—German, 79,320 bales ; Spanish, 8,577 ; Australian and Van Dieman's Land, 30,648 ; Russian, Turkey, Italian, Cape .f Good Hope, Buenos Ayres, Moga_ dore, &c., 61,675; total, 180,220 bales. The increase is principally in our colonial and other low wool, and the de crease in Spanish. In 1833, the imports of Australian and Van Diemen's Land were 14,948 bales only, while those of Spanish were 20,714.

Esousn Weer..—LEEns.—There is ao alteration worthy of notice in the Wool Market since our last report, except that consumers still hold from purchasing freely, while the staplers remain firm in consequence of not seeing a chance of replacing at present prices. Middle wethers may be quoted at 14g. 4id. per lb. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET.-Although a considerable amount of business was done, yet the transactions were not as large as for some weeks past. Fancy woollens and fair broads take the Lead. Styles called " the Queen's own," " the Alpine," and this "British Queen," in fancy woollens, are in great request. Fancy waistcoatings and light fancy goods generally are in fair demand. Prices arc necessarily improving, in colossi:11101sec of the high rub of the raw mate. rial, which still continues to look up, especially in middle qualities. Duriag the week the warehouses have been scenes of considerable activity. The operatives are generally em ployed, and very peaceable. HALIFAX MARKLT, SATURDAY.-There was i flat market to day ; buyers were not at all eager to make purchases ; the American orders being nearly completed for the season, the Continental msarkets being shut up by the frost for the oresent, and the home tiusde being but dull.

We see in the Cornzvall Gazette a corroboration of t he afieldassertion in the shape of a l ong report of a meeting that a s on Saturday at Launceston to perpetuate the Corn-laws, or, in the words of the Cornwall Reporter, to consider the propriety of petitioning Parliament in support of the Corn-laws." We are told that " the atten dance was large," and despite the most convincing and ar gumentative resistance offered by some wiser than the rest, the meeting of monopolists actually adopted a petition to Parliament, the very modest, and extremely humane prayer of '4l.licii is, that the nation may continue for ever cursed with Corn-laws—that the population of Great Britain may always remain bound down and oppressed by taxes on bread, the first neceaary of
