In the • House of Lords, the Marquis of Non -24A1‘112' said he...would postpone l i :s motion relative to the recal of Lord ELLENDOROUGH till Tuesday, as the Duke of IN Etaa %TON had stated that the Earl of RIPON could noctnaAtt:ecnELtill that day. The LOAD moved that the House should go into Committee the Dissenters' Chapels Bill. He pointed out the v a st hetvx. havedp en s expenses e which en avoided, v o d h e a d d , been incurred in suits which m a l t 'and for which this Bill would provide p read The Bishop of LONDON moved that i e theaf remedy, be that day six months; and the Bishop posed it, to use his own words, most strongly. op. Lord BROUGHAM gave the Bill his entirey.su because he felt the necessity of putting an end to vexatioui litigation, and fulfilling the original inten tion of the donors. Lord COTTBNIIAM and Lord CAMPBELL also sup. plrted the Bill ; and the amendment was negatived without a division. The Bill then passed through Committee, was ordered to be read a third time on Monday, and the House adjourned. 'ln the House of Common, after the presentation er petitions, Mr. HEMS gave notice that, on Thurs• any, he should move for a copy of all the corre spondence between the East India Company and the Government relative to the recal of Lord ELLEN h!s motion probably will give rise to ntelestin g speeches and disclosures. pARLEs NAPIER gave notice that on Thurs lridayi the of May, h e s h ou ld bring the Nav List •undettaf nsideration of th e M ouse. 3 • In osliter to a question from Mr. F. BARING, re ja.t/Te-to we Bank Charter, the. CRANCELLOZ of the L. , EXCHEQUER said he believed Sir ROBERT PEEL did not intend to call upon the House to agree to any resolutions on the subject when he brought it forward on Monday, if there should be any objections to his propositions. On the Order of the Day being read for the House going into Committee on the Factories Bill, Mr. ROEBUCK moved a resolution to the effect that no in terference with the power of adult labourers in fac tories to make contracts with respect to the hours for which they shall be employed, be sanctioned by the House. He then contrasted, at some length, the con dition of the peasant and the labourer in factories, and expressed his firm conviction that the condition of the latter was infinitely better than that of tile former. Sir JAMES GRAHAM opposed the resolution, and Mr. LABOUCHERE supported it, but we find no thing in their speeches that requires even a summary. Captain Rous supported the amendment of Mr. ROEBUCK, and only regretted that he had not moved that the Bill be rejected. Lord HowicK, Sir R. PEEL, Lord J. RussELL, and a number of other Members, addressed the House, when, on a division, the amendment was negatived by a majority of 206. The House then went into a Committee pro forma, and immediately resumed. The other orders of the day were then di:l3°3d of, and the House adjourned at a few minutes past One o'clock. It was well remarked in our hearing yesterday by an East India Director, who had for years supported the politics of Sir R. PEEL, that bad as the Whigs might be, they were not traitors to their principles, like the Tories. And he added, that never again should Sir R. PEEL have a vote from him. It may be said, that this was only the dictum of one man—of an East India Director it is true, but what then ? We will answer. the questions it is only the dictum of one man, but it is the opinion of thousands, who, having always, as they thought, sup ported Tory principles, find, at length, that Toryism has no principles, and that it is based upon founda tions which will neither bear the light of day nor the merest view of the merest tyro in political knowledge. Toryism and principle! Sir ROBERT PEEL and prin ciple!! The terms are just as applicable as Reform and finality !—Ga.tuam and fixity of purpose !! Just as well might it be attempted to fasten the wea thercock, in order to ensure the point from which the wind should blow, as to determine the measures of a Tory Government by the open and apparent signs which their declarations and movements indicate. " Vol et preterea nihil" is the motto which all the loud-sounding proclamations of Toryism deserve; and they have not only deserved but gained it ; and we are greatly deceived if the reign of Toryism be not terminated by the full and complete conviction of the entire British people that Toryism is mere induce ment—that all its promises are wind, and all its pro fessions empty sound. On the motion last night that the House of Commons should go into Committee on the Factory Bill, Mr. ROEBUCK proposed—" That it is the opinion of this House that no interference with the power of adult labourers in factories to make contracts respect ing the hours for which they shall be employed, be sanctioned by this House." The Hon. and Learned Member's speech, in support of this proposition, was just such as might have . been expected from him— that is to say, it was specious, shallow, partial, and by no means remarkable for any particular suavity of temper. He seemed to take for granted that all who advocated the Ten Hours' measure, exhibited nothing but " ignorance" and " blustering weak ness"—his own affectionate and respectful words ; that their " class of mind was among the lowest and most vulgkr of humanity ;" and that it was unge nerous, to say the least of it, "to throw on any class in this country the odium arising from that which was the mere necessity of our nature." 'With what amazing coolness and nonchalance the Member for Bath talks of factory labour, just as though it were one of the inevitable curses en tailed on humanity by the transgressions of our first parents ! Does he really mean to say that it is " the mere necessity of our nature," that thousands of weak, defenceless women and children should be daily tasked beyond their strength, with no hope of escape from such exhausting toil but in the grave ; and, consequently, that those who, from the most disinterested motives, would endeavour to ameliorate their condition, are no better than vision aries, acting in defiance of all the laws that regulate our social being ? We cannot believe that Mr. ROE.. BUCK is serious in this admission, for though his ideas of statesmanship are certainly not of a lofty or comprehensive order, he is not quite an Ignoramus, but has some glimmering, however. faint, of the truth of things. Excessive factory labour—so far at least as women and children are concerned—is no more a " necessity of our nature" than were West In dian Slavery—Catholic Restriction Acts—or any other gross injustice for which Parliament has found a remedy. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman went on to observe that " women were much better able than men to cope with factory labour. And ho could understand why. It was under cover—it was warm, and so far it was com fortable to the nature of women, and all that was required was continuous attention. Now it was a peculiar characteristic of females that they could give this continuous attention without injury to their health. Every medical man agreed that women bore factory labour best ; that it was suited to their habits and psychological condition, and that it was in reality anything but hard labour to them." Good GOD, was ever so much arrant nonsense and resolute perversion of fact contained in so small a compass, as is the case in the above passage ! The factory, forsooth, is " warm," and therefore " comfortable to the nature of woman !" Warm, indeed ; for the temperature is quite tropical, and the close, mephitic, pent-up air destructive to the strongest constitution. But this, it seems, is " comfortable," and specially suited to the " nature of woman," who, unlike the ruder sex, can dispense with the free, pure, refreshing airs of Heaven ! The atmosphere that tends to poison the springs of life in man, does woman all the good in the world. Her "psy chological condition," by the wise ordination of Pro vi knee, is just suited to the factory system of labour ; and it would be the height of folly and in justice to take her from duties which agree so well with her health, an 1 which are so exceedingly "comfortable to her nature." Again, "all that is required from her is continuous attention." That is all—nothing more ! She is only required to slave un remittingly from morning till night, from year's end to year's end. It is only insisted, that she shall ne glect all her own household duties—forget that she is a wife and mother—and attend to nothing but the interests of her employer ! This is the very utmost she is expected to do, and Mr. ROEBUCK thinks it the justest and properest thing in the world that she should continue to do it without a murmur. And is it in this spirit that an English senator alludes in an English House of Commons to the protracted labours—tortures, we should rather call them—that women undergo in the pestilential Hell of a factory ? Is it thus coldly and sneeringly that he ex patiates on their lot, justifying it as a "mere necessity of nature," and peculiarly adapted to their " psycho logical condition ?" In the whole course of our political experience we know not that we ever read a speech which filled us with such unutterable disgust as that of the Hon. and Learned Member for Bath—a speech which is as ungenerous and unmanly in sentiment, as it is absurd in argument, and reckless in its perversion of facts. Did Mr. ROEBUCK never happen to read the medical Reports on the effects of factory labour on the female constitution, that were j since;presen teadnahch to w th i eHouse of Commons a few years proved, beyond the possibility of contradiction, that . the system was utterly de structive of th e health of woman ; that in 1 the season of youth it brought on the infirmities of age ; laid the seeds of incurable disorders • poisoned the springs of life at th e fountain-head; and finally sent the poor, helpless, patient victim to her grave, worn down alike in body and mind, er e y et t h e meridian of lier existence was passed ? Mr. Rozistica:could surely I never have read these impressive documents, orhe would never have presumed to talk such flippant, heartless trash, as that excessive factory labour is suited to the "psychological condition" of women, and is nothing more than "the mere necessity of nature." The Member for Bath concluded, like a JEREMIAH or a CASSANDRA, by prophesying all sorts of horrors, if Parliament, resolved on interfering with the fadtory system. We should lose, forsooth, the markets of Germany—of America—in a word, of the whole world ! And all these afflictions are to befal us, if we presume to listen to the voice of humanity— which in nine cases out of ten is the voice of common sense—and endeavour to help those who have no power to help themselves! Mr. ROEBUCK, you are but a shallow sophist, as petty and frivolous in your views as you are pedantic and pertinacious in main taining them. Sir ROBERT PEEL, infinitely to the surprise and delectation of the House, indulged it with a lecture on " principle." " Great principles of morality," he said, " must not be infringed ; but there were general rules, Ametimes called principles, which, though for the most part fit to be maintained, might sometimes be as fitly relaxed, for moral and social purpo, es." What subtle casuistry is this ! But who cannot see, with half an eye, that it is neither more nor less than an apology for the Expediency system of legislation ? Some principles must be stuck to at all hazards ; others may be conveniently relaxed— that is to say, you may adhere to a principle when it does not come into direct collision with your inte rest; but when it does, then you are perfectly justified in pitching it overboard, of course " for moral and social purposes." So JONATHAN WILD argued, when he endeavoured to bring round the Ordinary of Newgate to his own views of what was just and proper. So Philosopher SQUARE argued, when he endeavoured to persuade Squire ALLWORTHT that it was his duty to disregard the laws of humanity, and send the poor foundling, Tom JONES, adrift without a shilling in the world, or a friend to help him ! So the Devil quotes Scripture, whenever, like our jesuitical Premier, he has " moral and social purposes" in view. Sir ROBERT PEEL went on to observe that Lord HowicK's notions of interference with the factory system were highly in judicious—and amounted to this, namely that Parlia ment must "extend its interference into all the occupa tions of life, and establish a system of universal inspec torship and intolerable tyranny." This remark comes with peculiar grace and propriety from a Minis ter, who, by means of his inquisitorial in come -tax, has already established a " system of universal inspectorship, and intolerable tyranny." We are delighted to be able to state that Mr. ROE- Bucies motion was lost by an overwhelming majority of two hundred and six ! Truly, virtue is its own reward The Madrid papers of the 26th ult. bring no fresh intelligence, if we except the fact that one of the Ministerial journals, the Herald°, has turned against its patrons. It thus announces the fact :—" The Mi nistry, by _its inactivity, inflicts a real prejudice on our party, and we can no longer keep silent. Nu merous correspondents from the provinces complain loudly that great partiality has been exercised in the filling up of public offices. Such facts are of a nature to excite distrust and alarm, and the Cabinet, with out perceiving ,the consequences of this erroneous tactic, complete the ruin by contradictory orders." On the Bourse the following were the quotations on the 26th :—Three per Cents., for arch, 36i ; at 60 days, 361; Fire per Cents., for cash, 21 15-16 ; at 60 days, 221. The birthday of his 111 ajesty the King of the FRENCH was celebrated at Paris on Wednesday with great rejoicings, and the weather being uncommonly fine full effect was given to the various festivities pre pared for the occasion. At half-past eleven o'clock the KING received the Cabinet Ministers and the Marshals of France ; and, at noon, the grand deputa- tions of the Chambers of Peers and Deputies ; the deputations of the Court of Cassation and Cour des Comptes ; the Royal Council of Public Instruction ; the deputation of the Cour Royal ; the institute ; the Prefect of the Seine ; the Prefect of the Police ; the Mayors, Deputy-Mayors, and members of the Muni cipal Council of Paris ; the deputations of the Tri bunals of Premiere Instance and Commerce ; the • Protestant Consistory; the Central Israelite Consistory; the Generals and other officers not forming part of the garrison, and the civil and military functionaries. At half-past two his MAJESTY received the officers of the National. Guards of Versailles and other places in the department of the Seine-et-Oise, the Officers of the General Staff of the •National Guards of the Seine, &c. At four o'clock his MAJESTY received the members of the corps diplomatique. His MAJESTY was in excellent :health, and went through the labours of the day without appearing to suffer much from fatigue. Addresses were presented by the Pope's Nuncio, the Presidents of the two Chambers, and the Archbishop of Paris. In replying to the congratu lations of Baron PASQUIER, the President of the Chamber of Peers, his MAJESTY took the oppor tunity of adverting to the blessings conferred On France, as well as other countries, by continued peace. " rife Chamber of Peers," said he,. "know how I apprecis.te the constant and faithful support which it has given to the policy, which has preserved France from so many evils, and attached, I may ven ture to say, as much lustre to the French name as the most brilliaa it victories could have done. We have seen our prs , sperity increase at the same time as that of our neigl 'bouts, which must render.. more evident to the eyes of all the important truth that the general welfare of , - nations becomes for each of them in par ticular an augmentation of prosperity and happiness. It is a sweet satisfaction for my paternal heart that my sons have shown themselves worthy of France en the numerous occasions in which they have been able to prove their devotedness. They will always be found ready to share the perils and glories of our sol diers, and to d efend our institutions, and the liberties of which they are the guarantees. I again thank the Chamber of P eers for the good wishes that it has ex pressed to rue." His. reply to the Archbishop of PARIS was of a different character, and showed that the KING is determined to assert the power of the State in Ch urch affairs, and will not allow the Jesuits or ani religious sect to domineer, as in former days, over both Sovereign and people. The allusion of the A rchbishop to the peace and liberty of the Church, el idently attracted the serious atten tion of the Kusa , and called forth a just rebuke. The remark to s .vhich we refer is the following:— "We can never conceive," said the Prelate, "that the State can s uffer from - the peace and liberty of the Church, or tl ie Church from the grandeur and prosperity of tla a State. This conviction, which was proclaimed, six hundred years ago by a holy French doctor, he honour of his age by his genius, and of the cleri ;y by the heroism of his virtues, is also that of ti le clergy and Archbishop of Paris.' On which the K Ism replied, with great emphasis and in a hurried. : manner, " I thank you, Monsieur l'Archeveque, fc,r ;:the good wishes that you offer to me personally, a nd in the name of the clergy of Paris. I thought Ih: td given pledges enough of my desire to maintain the, Eoerty of religion, and to surround the clergy wiry all the respect, all th e venera ti on , th a t are due to it, fo r it to become useless to remind me of them in the, Nay I have just heard. What I can that suie tlse r k sa n y ow to al y r -o e u ad , l'Archeveque, olerg ymnyre you my ly is up w on ha a t ll good will, all r ky interest, and also on the constancy of my efforts too assure to France the benefits of reli gion, in order that it may continue to be at best guarantee ; rsgainst the vices which produce dis order in FrOCi sty, and the source of all the virtues which ins ur' s the happiness of men." . _ It wou Id appear that the accounts received from Toulouse, of disaffection in certain regiments were not war to nted by the facts. The charges against the soldiers I were declared to be unfounded, and all those arrested r had been set at liberty.

THE IRISH STATE TRIALS.—On Thursday Mr• Fitzgibbon addressed the Court, and the Lord Chief Justice, observing that he spoke on one leg, kindly intimated that he might speak sitting. Mr. Fitz gibbon at once availed himself of this favour, and there he sat all the day long (we quote from a Tory journal) talking at, and scolding the Learned Lord Chief Justice for his charge to the jury, just as if half-a-dozen speechei on the same topic had not been delivered within the past few days. At four o'clock Mr. Fitzgibbon was analysing the early portions of the charge ; and from the industry he has displayed in picking out words and sentences supposed to have been prejudical to the traversers, it is not. likely he will come to a close for at least another day. THIS DAY'S NEWS. CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY). The Loan CIIANCELLOR took appeals to-day, none of which possessed any points of interest, except to the parties concerned. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY). (Before Vice- Chancellor Sir JAMES IVlGn.t3t.) His Honour, having disposed of the unopposed petitions and short causes set down in the paper, proceeded to hear a cause of Little v. Greville, a case which has often been before the Court, and which now came before it on further directions and costs. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY). (Sittings in Banco.) PARTRIDGE V. THE BANK OF ENGLAND. The plaintiff, Partridge, had given to a broker named Wakefield, a power of attorney to receive his dividends; according to the custom of the Blink they delivered to 'Wake field on the 6th April certain dividend warrants for the re ceipt of Partridge's dividends. These warrants became pay able on the Bth according to custom. On. the 7th, Wake field lodged these dividend warrants with Ladbrokes, the bankers, as a security. Wakefield failed on the 7th, and Ladbroke claimed a lien upon these dividend warrants, and refused to deliver them to Partridge, who brought his action against the Bank of England. The case was tried at Guild hall, before Lord Ilenman, and the Jury found for plaintiff. A motion was made for a new trial, and the point for the decision of the Court was, whether dividend warrants deli vered under these circumstances could be considered as nego tiable instruments. The case came on this morning, and the arguments which were entirely of a technical character had not concluded when we went to press. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY). -(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.) Tilt QUEEN V. THE C HURCHWARDENS OF BANGOR. On a former occasion Mr. Jervis, Q.C., had applied to this Court for a rule to show cause why a mandamus should not issue, directed to the churchwardens au d overseers of the parish of Bangor, requiring them to pay a sum of 200/. and upwards, the cost of a survey of the parish made by a Mr. Philips of Coventry, by direction of the guardians of the poor, acting under the authority of the Poor-law Commissioners. The application was Made under the 6th and 7th William IV., c. 96, s. 3, which empowers the Commissioners of the poor law to direct the parochial officers to make a rate, or other provision, for the purposes of paying the costs, or any portion of the costs, of any survey they may have directed to be made. Mr. Jervis mentioned the subject again to-day, and argtfed it at some length ; but the discussion was of a v‘ holly technical character. Ultimately Mr. Justice Coleridge di rected that a mandamus should issue. THE LORD MAYOR'S COURT. Mr. ANDERSON moved for a rule to show cause why a mandamus should not issue directed to the Lord Mayor and Corporation of the City of London requiring them to admit Mr. D. W. Wire, an attorney, in the Lord Mayer's Court, he being already admitted an attorney of a superior Court. The application was exactly similar to the one made yesterday on behalf of Mr. W. H. Ashurst, and his Lord ship immediately granted the application. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) No case of the least interest came before this Court this morning. The arguments in the case of Davis v. Lowndes were resumed, but they were altogether of a dry legal description. EXCHEQUER COURT-THIS DAY. (Sittings in Banco.) The Court took the special paper to-dad•. camEttwoop V. CASLON. This case, which stood over for argument from the last special.paper day, was resumed, at the sitting of the Court. It was an actioh for criminal conversation, which had been tried before Lord Abinger in Hilary Term, 1842, when a verdict was had for the plaintiff. The lady is the daughter of Mr. Abbott, the English consul at Bey - rout, in Syria, and was married to the plaintiff at that place, in, the presence of her father and several friends, by an American missionary.. The defendant iis the son of the well-known type-founder, and became acquainted with the plaintiff's wife at the house of the plaintiff's mother. An intimacy sprung up between the parties, which led to the subject of the action at law. A question as to the legality of the plaintiff's marriage with the lady had been raised, inas much as it had been alleged on the part of the defendant, that the American missionary who had celebrated the mar riage was not in holy orders. The point was reserved for argument, and Mr. BARSTOW was now heard on • the part of the plaintiff. The Learned Gentleman admitted for the purpose of his argu ment, that the missionary was not in holy orders, and then contended that the marriage might not be held to be valid as against a claimant in right, yet it was so as against a wrong doer. Mr. OGLE was heard on the other side. The Court took time to consider the case. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER. (THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius.) PRICE V LUND. This was an action to recover compensation in damages for certain injuries sustained by a phaeton, belonging to the plaintiff, who is a clergyman, which he contended was caused by a cart, driven carelesslyand negligently on the 6th of May, 1843, by the defendant, who was a baker, but is now confined in Whitecross-street Prisi,n. The accident occurred on the roadcommon, in the vicinity of which the as defence set up was that the plaintiff w side of the loa d.

The jury returned a verdict for the defendant. MARYLEBONE.—_(THIS DAY.) THE MUTDEREIt DALMAL—Augustus Dabnas, the sup posed murderer of Sarah M‘Farlane, surrendered himself to Sergeant Cummings at the Marylebone police station, about 1 o'clock this morning. He was, however, for the convenience of the numerous witnesses in the case, sent to the 'Wandsworth station, to be examined before the magis trate there, without having at all appeared before Mr. Long at this Court. It is supposed that an understanding had been entered into to this effect, for at half-past six, A.m., Mr. Bicknell, the superintendent of the V division, called, and in consequence of the arrangements above alluded to, Mr. Hughes, superintendent of the D's, sent the prisoner off in a cab, at about five minutes before ten, safely secured by being handcuffed to Sergeant Cummings. A constable, 203 D, also went in the cab. A very considerable crowd had collected to witness the departure of Dalmas. He appeared very pale and haggard, and had evidently been unshaved for many days. His dress, a bad suit of black, was wretchedly dirty, as if the unfortunate man had not taken them off his person since the period of the murder. His mental faculties ap peared completely blunted, and, excepting for the occasional flashing of his eyes, a circumstance so apparent that many of those present exclaimed, " God bless us how wild he looks," he might be supposed to be dead to all that .was passing 4mund him. • UNION HALL,(THIS DAY.) Thomas Wise was charged before Mr. Cottingham with furiously driving and endangering the lives of two persons, one of whom, a boy, is now confined in the hospital, owing to the serious nature of the injury he received. It appeared that on the preceding evening the defendant, with three other persons, in a gig, were observed driving along Wellington-place at a very quick rate. When the de fendant, who was driving, arrived near the Waterloo-bridge, he whipped the horse with the intention of evading the toll, and when the • gig passed through the gate it came into violent collision with an omnibus and was shattered to pieces, throwing the defendant and the three other persons with violence into the road. Two of the persons, a woman and a boy, were most seriously injured, particularly the latter, who was taken up in a state of insensibility, and conveyed to the hospital, where he remain's in a very precarious condition. The woman, whose name is Ellis, was enabled to attend the examination,' although dreadfully cut about the face and hands, and in giving her evidence, she said that shortly before they came up to the bridge, she implored the defendant not to drive so fast, but he disregarded her entreaties and continued his speed, until they came in con tact with the omnibus, and were all thrown out. The defendant said that the horse took fright just before he came to the toll-house, but this assertion was contradicted by the toll collector, who said the defendant whipped the horse to evade paying the toll. Mr. CorrixGßAm said that the certificate from the hospi tal described the dangerous condition of the boy, and that if death ensued the defendant would be answerable for it. The Magistrate then said that he should remand the - defendant until Wednesday, and as bail was offered 1:e would accept of two sureties of 1001. each for his appearance on that day. The prisoner's father, a wealthy cow-keeper at Chelsea, having given the required sureties, the defendant was dis charged. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—( T HIS DAY.)

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE: The general tone of the Cotton market was, yesterday, better, and prices were firm ; sales 5,000 bales. Shares were not so lively, and not much 'was done, except in Eastern Counties ; French Shares were not so lively either; Dublin and Cashel were 4i ; Eastern Counties 13i; Paris and Lyons 3h ; ditto and Orleans 38 ; South Eastern, ex new, 374. The value of the public securities has been represented, for some time past, as too high ; but when we hear of a loan for a British colony being taken' at 1121. 12s. 6d., even though 4 per . cent. is guaranteed by the Home Government, for twenty years, we must be sensible of the abundance of money, and of the difficulty of finding safe employment for it. This induces a hope that in altering the savings bank law, due consideration will be given .to the importance of affording a sate place of deposit for the surplus funds not only of the poorer, but even of the industrious classes in a middling sphere f life, while, to obviate the abuse of the system, a graduated scale of interest, diminishing as the amount increased, to such an extent as to indicate that the depositors were' not of the poorer grade, might be usefully , adopted. Parties possessed of 100/. or 2001. are often shy in de positing their hard-earnings in the funds with the chance of a fall in prices that would occasion them a serious los, by oc curring just when they were in want of their money, and would prefer a savings' bank in many instances for security, even though restricted from the receipt of interest upon all the amount deposited above 1001. It is, indeed, astonishing how large a number of even respectable parties keep no banker, though the system adopted of granting de posit receipts, on which the return of money placed in joint-stock banks can be had without the notice required by the savings banks, so far meets the wants of this class, that we are satisfied it only requires to be more gene rally known in order to be made extensively available. There is but one view in which there could be the slightest reason for the non-adoption' of the facility . by parties who do not keep a banker, viz., the idea that a joint-stock bank may not be quite so safe as a savings bank. This; however, resolves itself into a matter'of prudence in the selection of the esta blishments known to rest on the soundest basis, both with respect to the proprietary and the management. The Funds have been quiet this morning, and still feel the re-action 'of yesterday afternoon, having been uninfluenced by purchases of any note.
