The Bank of England (with a cautious wheedling air)—Good day, dear neighbour. How do you find your dear self ? Still strong and hearty ? You always keep pretty plump, methinks—always have a tolerable corporation. Well, so much the better. The Bank of France—Yes, yes ; taking all toge ther, it's not so bad. It shows a sound constitution, and a prudent diet ; for I never commit an excess, nor do anything to compromise my existence. Last year, for instance, by a thousand operations, I did not even lose—though I expected it—guess how much ? The Bank of E:ogland-2,000,000f., perhaps. The Bank of France-235f. 50c. The Bank of England—Ah, you conjurer! As for me, I should have lost the whole, at least. But how do you manage ? The Bank of France—Why, you see, I only lend on sure grounds —on a long string of signatures—and then not to everybody. I refuse to discount the paper of blue eyes, flat noses, democratic opinions, red hair, and a host of others, who are pointed out to me by the police, good as their security may be. The Bank of England (with a still more cautious air) —Want of money makes you so cautious, I suppose, for report runs that your pockets are but indifferently lined. The Bank of France—Nonsense ! I can, on the con trary, take up crowns by the shovelfull! I have in my safe nearly 200,000,000 in specie, and don't know what in the world to do with them. The Bank of England (aside)—l have her. (Aloud) —And what does the Government say ? The Bank of France—The Government ! Parbleu, it is all the same to the Government, as long as I can lend it money when it wants it. What can the Go vernment care, whether the trade that pays the taxes comes this way or that ? As long as they are paid, that is enough. The Bank of England—And the nation ? The Bank of France—Ah, you have still the air of having just left your own country. The nation is a great blockhead, who neither says any thing, nor even thinks. The Bank of England—D--n! It is a little more exacting. However, what you say surprises me. I thought that, according to your very constitution, you were created and sent into the world for the pur pose of aiding the trader, or even the artisan, or, in fact, any one who wanted specie and could offer suffi cient security. _ The Bank of France—That was only the flare-up of my prospectus—was what you call a puff. The fact is, I only lend to the top merchants, the top bankers, to those that lend again ; in a word, I only assist those who want no assistance. Nevertheless, that does not prevent me from taking the deepest interest in com merce and industry. _ The Bank of England—Ah ! that is as things are understood. Heavens ! I wish John Bull was as ac commodating. See how miserably thin I am. Nothing in my hands, and nothing in my pockets. lam a bank done for, if you do not assist me. Tell me, now, have you such a thing as a little money at my service? The Bank of France—Money -- hem—how much ? The Bank of England—A trifle, a mere nothing— only 50,000,000 f. And you owe this service to Eng land. England has been your most faithful ally since-- egad I don't exactly know since when—l mean, in a word, since she has not betrayed you. England, with the greatest pleasure, saw the Orleans family ascend the Throne. This is worth something. England consented to give one of her Princes to Bel gium, to the exclusion of yours. That is worth some thing Itoo. England received your Ambassador, M. Soult, with the highest respect, and treated him as a great statesman. That is worth something again ! Then England and France have both one common inte rest. England has cast a sheep's eye on Algiers, and France wants to keep it. England wants a monopoly for her commerce—so does France for her own. England and France wish each that her own navy should be the strongest in the world. Each desires that her own in fluence should preponderate in Europe. Thus, you see, it is impossible to conceive two rivals more per fectly united both by sympathy and in their designs. The Bank of France—My eyes are filled with tears ! The Bank of England—l will add a last considera tion. If we may judge from the affairs that are ripen ing in the East, it is very possible that the friendship between England and France may terminate in a mortal war. Hence it would be quite in accordance with the chivalric spirit of France to furnish England with the means of fighting against her with equal weapons, arm ing her fleets, equipping her soldiers, and stocking her arsenals. The Bank of France—That is true. The Bank of England—Now, as a guarantee for the payment of the loan, I will give you Exchequer bonds to the same amount. The Bank of France—Good. But who will guaran tee the guarantee The Bank of England—Some French bankers whom I will guarantee in my turn. See if your statutes will allow this little transaction. The Bank of France—They formally forbid all transactions between me and the foreign banks. But— bah ! what of that ? I laugh at statutes! (Enter one of the clerks, with a bundle of bills.) Clerk—Here are some French merchants, French manufacturers, French tradesmen, and French artisans, all very solvent, but suffering a momentary pressure from the stagnation of affairs. They want the paper with which they have been paid to be discounted. The total a mount is 50,000 f. —.... The Bank of France—How many signatures to each bill Clerk—Only 74. Fr:,: - .(7,—Nut enough. I Lierk—lhey say that it the Bank does not aid PRICE sd. them under the present circumstances, they will send in their balance-sheet, shut up shop, and that several thousand workmen will be turned into the street. The Bank of France—They may go to the devil. laugh at the notion of their failure. And as to their workmen, I am not frightened about that, for we have, thank Heaven, a host of sergens de ville who can prove to them that lam the very best of banks. The trans action would he contrary to our statutes, and—respect to our statutes above everything! (Exit Clerk.) You see how I manage business. But to return to our own —I told you, that spite of our statutes, which I laugh at, I was charmed to be of this little service to you. The Bank of France is not fond of lending (like La Fontaine's ant)—that is its least fault ; but when a neighbour cries " famine," I would not send him off. Here. (The Bank of England receives the 50,000,0001.) The Bank of France—There is an affair settled. We have only to arrange the mode of repayment. The Bank of England (going out with full pockets) —Good bye ! Nothing can be more simple ; England will pay you all, principal and interest—in ball and shot. —Charivari. SINGERS AT THE ROYAL CHAPEL. (FEONI A CORRESPONDENT.) Upon inspecting the under-mentioned list of singers engaged at the Chapel Royal, it will easily be imagined that her Majesty does not complain of the singing with out good cause : Mr. Nield, tenor, near 70 years old ; Mr. Sale, bass, 60 ; Mr. Evans, tenor, 62 ; Mr. Hawes, bass, about 58 ; Mr. Clark, bass, about 57 ; Mr. Roy vett, near 60. These are the principal singers, who are not allowed to put in a deputy. The pay is 1201. per annum for six alternate months in the year, and yet, not three Sundays ago, there were only two basses and a counter tenor to sing the whole service. And at St. Paul's Cathedral, where the same parties are engaged, there is not unfrequently but one " minor canon," and one " singer," instead of six " singers," and six minor canons, who are paid to attend regularly. Surely people do not complain of the Church without cause. PROTECTION " TO FARMERS LANCASHIRE LANDLORDS. (Abriged from the Liverpool Journal.) There was a very instructive trial at our assizes on Friday week. It afforded a picture of the condition of the agricultural tenantry of South Lancashire. The authenticity of the portrait was unquestionable, the authors being no less than the agents and counsel of one of the principal landowners in the division. The material of which the case was composed was nothing very rare. It was merely the very common in cident of a ruined farmer attempting to escape from his farm without exhausting the whole of his beggared for tunes in the payment of the last instalment of the cur rent rent. Nor was it a very aggravated case ; for so far from the poor man having attempted to wipe off long arrears due to an indulgent landlord in this unjustifiable way, it was found by the Jury that there was not a single farthing due, the distraint being in anticipation of the rent of the current half year ; and so completely bad he been impoverished, that the whole of his distrainable property, on a farm of 300/. a year, was only valued by himself at 120/., and actually sold for less than 801, The action, Sutton v. Leigh, was brought, under the circumstances we have stated, against Thomas Leigh, Esq., by the tenant of his farm of Haydock Lodge, and was for damages fo:- an illegal distraint made in March, for rent not due until the ensuing July. The defence was not the least singular part of the affair. The action was fist resisted on the ground that the plaintiff had not proved what the distraint was for, his only evidence of the payment of the precedin g half year's rent being a re c eipt on unstamped paper for the last payment he had made. - The next difficulty the poor man had to encounter was much of the same description. It was objected, that the plaintiff had not proved that the distraint of which he complained was made by Mr. Leigh, or by his orders—that he bad only proved that it was made by Mr. Wraight, his steward. These difficulties being disposed of, came the real ground on which the action was resisted, and that was, that the rent was a " beforehand" rent, the landlord having reserved the power of demanding the rent some time before the expiration of the term, and before the time when it was usual to demand it. The fact of such agreement having been made was disputed by the plaintiff, and the Jury found for him in damages to the amount of the difference between the value of his pro perty and what it actually sold for under the distraint. It is to the evidence in support of the defence that we wish to draw the attention of our readers particu larly, as illustrating the miserable and dependent con dition of what truly is the "agricultural interest," namely, those whose labour and capital make the soil fruitful. Perhaps there is not on the face of the globe a tract of land more fitted, from external relations, to be the seat of a prosperous and lucrative agriculture, and of a wealthy and independent tenantry, than that to which this evidence relates. Of the actual condition of the tenants, of their competence to call forth the latent productiveness of the soil by a skilful and liberal application of capital, we now offer the evidence. Mr. Edward Woods, " assistant agent" to Thomas Leigh, Esq., deposed that it was the universal custom on his employer's estates to reserve a " forehand" rent, that is, to make it payable on the 4th of June, be fore it was currently due. Mr. William Selby, agent to the Right Hon. Lord Lilford, deposed that it was the universal practice on the contiguous estates of his Lordship to let the farms with entry on the meadow land at Christmas, on the arable land on the 2d of February, and to the house on the Ist of May, the whole of the rent to be col lected in the ensuing April or May ; but his Lordship reserves the power of distraining for the whole at mid summer. Mr. James Fair, agent to Sir Henry Houghton, Bart., stated that that gentleman had large estates contiguous to Mr. Leigh's, and that the tenants on them usually entered on the 2d of February, but that the rent for the first half year was made payable on the 3d of February, and for the latter on the 2d of August. This statement seemed so extraordinary that the Learned Judge who tried the case, Baron Maule, stared with astonishment, and asked if it were really true that a tenant, entering on his farm on the second of February, was liable to be called on to pay his rent the next day ? Mr. Fair assured his lordship that such was the case ; but added that they had very seldom occasion to put the agreement in force—that they usually chose better. Any one acquainted, in the slightest degree, with the nature of farming operations will readily conceive the condition of land of which the tenantry are treated in this degrading manner. The estates in question are imperfectly drained, badly fenced, slovenly tilled, over cropped, out of heart, and altogether, in cultivation, fifty years behind modern improvements. We have no personal motive in making these re marks, for we know nothing of the plaintiff, and never happened to hear any ill of Mr. Leigh, nr Sir Henry Houghton, or Lord Lilford, or, indeed, to know any thing about them or their agents, but what this trial disclosed. We have no party motive ; for though two of them be Tories, one is a staunch Whig, and a near relation of that ornament of his order, Lord Holland. Our motive is simply this—to show the value of the pretence of the landlords, that their excellent cultivation of the soil, and the prosperity of their tenants, entitle them to the monopoly of the supply of food; and show the real extent of the in• terest of the farmer in the soil, which, it is alleged, would be damaged by sufferinr , food to find its natural price. We know that, though we granted the truth of the assumptions, they would amount to nothing ; for even if landlords let their land on leases at fair rents, and tenants retired with fortunes after a few years' successful labour, the liberality of the one, and the skill of the other, would afford no just ground for narrowing the field for the exercise of the liberality of the manufacturer, and the skill of his workmen. But still it is useful to show the falsity of the pretence. Let these worshipful persons be what they stands on the evidence of their own agents,the /act that Lancashire have three of the greatest landowners in South ct not among them a tenant whom they dare trust with h al ftenant i may, there for year's rent, and that one if them does not trust a htened any twenty-four hours. The poor fellows litera l ly i work with nooses round their necks, which may cultivated by moment, at the pleasure of either land b l e or t d g or steward. It is impossible that !and can be properly a tenantry so poor, so characterless, as v to render f such a power necessary,or even desira to say that it can. We might as well be told that a tradesman could carry on bus iness p r ofitably, if he fonnd it necessary to give a power of att orney every time that he gave an order for stock. So much for the economy of the late trial ; but it is of m uch of our ele c t ora l system. These, forsooth, not also without a politic al mo ral.

On the these p oor creatures with h waste a word. rottenness mockery o e f d in n % o 'e t sti g w twreetferabneedlimisee we r need first conviction for assault Act took place on Monday at the Kensing__ ___ Sessions; It is understood the business there witagginuel44 l ..: the establishment of a Police Court for the district, to be transacted by the local Magistrates, any two of whom have, by the provisions of the new Act (out of a police ii / p,s ld . erm A an s Lucas), imilar court), th e same powers as a police Magistrate.

Alderman Humphery, at Guildhall. Mr. Benett, of Hatton-garden, sent a prostitute to prison for three days for annoying a gentleman by her solicitations. Mr. Gregorie, of Queen-square, sentenced a person to fifteen days' hard labour for furiously knocking and ringing at the door of Mr. French, M.P. On Monday the officers of the metropolitan police were in attendance upon the Magistrates, and had war rants and summonses to execute. The penalty for any neglect of duty is 101., or, in default of payment, one month's Imprisonment and hard labour. . On Monday cases of assault, which were originally heard before and decided by two Magistrates, were heard and decided by one Magistrate. At Guildhall on Monday Mr. Alderman Humphery, soon after taking his seat, inquired how the new r,,gula tion for closini , the public-houses had been observed in the City ? Foster, the marshalman, said only three houses had attempted to open for business, and those parties would be summoned. By the City Police Act the offence of opening a gin shop or public-house on Sunday morning may be punished with imprisonment in Bridewell for not ex ceeding one month. The clause which creates the offence con t a i ns no pena l ty, an d t h e c l ause w hi c h gives a penalty for offences to which no penalty has been ex pressly attached gives the Magistrates the option to commit to the House of Correction or to impose a fine. Gr Nw ee o nw i i t e h h st e a a nd s in a g the aday, there e ense influx was aet of visit a siagleeha o r r g s to of drunkenness brought before the Greenwich bench of Magistrates on Monday. During Sunday morning the provisions of the Act relating to public-houses and beershops were strictly obeyed, and all those hopes were closed until one o'clock ; but, in consequence of the metropolitan police not extending to Lewisham, the Ordnance Arms in that parish, which is but a very short distance from the boundary line in the Lewisham road, was open during the early part of the morning, and crowds flocked from Greenwich to it. The Magis trates, it is said, h ave di recte d proceed i ngs to b e taken against the landlord, but a legal autbdrity residing in the town, is of opinion that they must &it obtain an Order in Council to include Lewisham in the Act be fore they can enforce obedience to it in that district. Monday morning the police gave notice to those per sons who have hitherto kept coffee-stalls under Covent garden Piazzas that they must discontinue the practice, as it is an infringement of the new Police Act. Many of the proprietors of gin palaces in London and the suburbs have placed in their windows immense pla cards, with the clause which relates to the closing of public•houses on Sundays, Christmas-day, and Good Friday, until one o'clock, printed in large letters. At the foot of the placard appears the following announce ment :—" As we are prevented by law from serving until one o'clock, please to bring your jugs and bottles on Saturday night." The Thames police, which has existed for forty-one years, becomes extinct this day as a separate force, the Act of Parliament constituting them, and vesting the control in the Magistrates attached to the Thames Police-office in Wapping, expiring with the present Ses sion of Parliament. The river police will in future form part of the metropolitan police force, under the control of the Commissioners ; and the power of search ing and inspecting all ships, vessels, barges, and boats, hitherto performed under the regulating orders of the Magistrates, will be continued to the superintendents and inspectors of the metropolitan police, with power to bring as many constables on board as they shall think necessary. Other powers hitherto vested in the Thames police, subject to the orders of the Magistrates, are also to be continued to the metropolitan police. Whe ther the police who are to act upon the river will be put in uniform or not, or whether any difference will be made in their pay, has not transpired. Many of the old survevors and river constables are to be superan nuated. Of course only those well acquainted th any efficiency ofey a the the s ariveriemanagementrvr Thames, police. ie o f boats,willbe and ae thehl tewith peculiar h effiein navigation GAMBLING HousEs.—The proprietors of gambling houses at the west-end have taken alarm at the Act. It is stated, we know not how truly, that several have been closed within the last few days, and other proprietors, it is expected, will " follow on the same side." It is under stood that the Commissioners of Police intend to de clare a general war against all such places. By the 4Stli section it is enacted, " If any superintendent be longing to the metropolitan police force shall report in writing to the said Commissioners that there are good grounds for believing any house or room within the metropolitan police district to be kept or used as a com mon gaming -house, and if two or more householders, dwelling within the said district, and not beloi ging to the metropolitan police force, shall make oath in writ ing, to be by them taken and subscribed before a ma gistrate, and annexed to the said report, which oath ercry magistrate is hereby empowered to administer and receive, that the premises complained of by the superintendent are commonly reported and are believed by the deponents to be kept or used as a common gaming -house, it shall be lawful for the Commissioners, by order in writing, to au thorise the superintendent to enter such house or room with such constables as shall be directed by the Com missioners to accompany him, and if necessary to use force for the purpose of effecting such entry, whether by breaking open doors or otherwise, and to take into cus tody all persons who shall be found therein, and to seize and destroy all tables and instruments of gaming found in such houses or premises, and also to seize all moneys and securities for money found therein, and the owner or keeper of the said gaming house, or other person having the care or management thereof, and also every banker, croupier, or other person who shall act in any manner in conducting the said gaming house, shall be liable to a pe nalty, not more than 1004, or, in the discretion of the magistrate before whom he shall be convicted of the of fence, may be committed to the House of Correction with or without hard labour, for a time not more than six calen dar months ; and upon conviction of any such offender, all the moneys and securities for money which shall have been seized as aforesaid, shall be paid to the said receiver, to be by him applied towards defraying the charge of the police of the metropolis, and every person found in such premises, without lawful excuse, shall be liable to a penalty o f not m o re than .51. ; provided always that nothing herein contained shall prevent any proceed ing, by indictment, against the owner, or keeper, or other person, having the care or management of any gaming house ; hut no person shall be proceeded against by indictment and also under this Act for the same offence." The 49th section provides " That it shall not be necessary in support of any information for gam ing in, or suffering any games, or gaming in, or fur keeping, or using, or being concerned in the manage ment or conduct of a common gaming house, under this Act, to prove that any person found playing at any game, was playing for any money, wager, or sta ke. " If these clauses could be efficiently carried out, the number of gaming houses would be diminished. A foulness of the Teeth is by some people as little regarded as it is easily removed; but, with the fair sex, with the polite and elegant part of the world, it is looked on as a certain mark of sloth ; not only because it disgraces one of the greatest ornarner ts of the countenance, but the smell imparted to the breath by dirty teeth is dis agreeable to the patients themselves, and extremely offensive to others in ccnversation. To remedy these evils, and to prevent their taking place, is recommended Rowiod's Odento ; which, as an embellisher an preserver of the Teeth, and consequent promoter of comfort and attrastimp is certainly the first Dentifrice of the preseuf age. THE EYES.—Optical improvements to enable persons at an advanced age to read with ease, and discri minate objects with perfect distinctness. Messrs. S. and B. Solemons, Opticians and Aurists to the Royal Family, 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly, and 96, Cheapside, have succeeded in effecting a most scientific improvement in extensive by Spectacle Lenses, of the greates e t lp t e ra r n ie s n p e a e r d ent pe re rs fr o a n c s t , iv o e f strengthened, and power, for imperfect Vision ; the extraordinary advantage stren derived from this invention is, that they are adapted to the practice, So that the sight more b si e g c h o t m t teh o sa t n h p e s, eos g ye r re e va a er t ds er t an n d i c persons are enabled to employ their sight for any length of time, either by day or candle light, at the most ' minute occupation, with ease and comfort. These Spectacle Lenses are con structed on a principle that persons c an see w ith th em o f a much less magnifying power, nor will they require the change so frequently to greater magnifying powers as those now in common use ; those Wets oh' ' being accomplished, is a matter of much dee i be imagined; . per mportance,to the public than may thousands of i n di v id ua l s h ave b een mos t seriously i n j ured i t i consequence of neglect to those sub jects. P ersons can be suited at a distance; those who have never u se d S pectac l es, b y stat i ng t h e num b er of inches th ey can see moderate sized print from the eye, and those who are making use of Spectacles by sending them, and making the same statement. The Messrs. Solomon's Voice Conductors, for deaf persons, are not the least per ceptible, and give immediate relief.—No agents nor travel lers are employed. INDUSTRY WITHOUT REWARD.—The sad dest aspect the decay of civic society can exhibit, has always appeared to me to be this, when honourable, honour loving, conscientious diligence cannot, by the utmost efforts of toil, obtain the necessaries of life; or when the working man cannot even find work, but must stand with folded arms, lamenting his forced idleness, through which himself and his family are ve rging to starvation, or, it may be, actually suffering the pains of hunger. —Thomas ___ Carlyle's New Work.
