Wemust, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend, hut cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffbr ing from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages." _Age and Argus.

A numerous meeting of the Polish Ball Committee was held on Saturday, to audit the accounts and settle the tradesmen's bills. Deputy Peacock in the chair. Mr. CARR, the Honorary Secretary, reported to the meeting that 1,157 persons had attended the ball and concert, the amount received for tickets sold being 5831. 145., and in donations 164/. 25., and that the ex penses incurred were 392/. 145., leaving a clear ba lance of 3551. 2s. to be carried to the fund for the re lief of the unfortunate Polish refugees. Lord DUDLEY STUART expressed the highest grati fication at the result, and in the name of the Council of the Literary Association of the Friends of Poland, presented their thanks to the Chairman, to Mr. Eagleton, the Treasur er , an d to the Committee, in acknowledgment of the great interest they had taken in getting up and conducting the entertainment, and also to Mr. Carr for his unwearied exertions in the various arrangements and duties devolving on him as their Honorary Secretary. His Lord ship observed, that although the amount of the proceeds was less than the amount of those of last year, it was most satisfactory to witness the demonstrations of delight so univer sally exhibited by the visitors in their enjoym en t of the evening's amusem en t s , th e magnificence of the Hall, and the splendour of the company, graced as it I was by the presence of several of the nobility and other persons of rank. His Lordship hoped that as the Hall was so admirably adapted for such purposes, it would on each succeeding Lord Mayor's day be made available for some useful charitable institution, and Ahether it should be granted for the Poles, or any other charitable undertaking, he (Lord Dudley Stuart), as well as those acting with him on behalf of the Poles, wo'u'ld be happy to join in promoting the success of any object that might be considered worthy of such support.—(Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN, in the name of the Committee, thanked the Noble Lord for the kindness and cour tesy evinced by him to every . o_ne-of its members, and begged to assure his Lordship that they would be most happy to have the honour of acting with him upon future occasions. The Chairman and Committee cordially agreed on expressing their thanks for the powerful support given by the press, to which they were deeply indebted for the success of the undertaking. The Committee was then dissolved, well pleased with so gratifying a conclusion to their labours. Baillie MACK seconded the resolutions. Mr. LINDSAY said he was sorry he could not agree with his Lordship in reference to this subject. In fact, he was against a paper currency entirely ; he saw no one that was benefited by it but the bankers. He would suggest that the bankers should be made to pay to Government so much per cent. for the use of the notes, and then the public at large would reap some benefit from them—but at present he did not see that the public derived any advantage from them. He thought also that the present agita tion was premature. They should wait to see what measure the Government had in contemplation. Dean of Guild DICK supported the resolutions of the Lord Provost. Mr. RUSSELL confessed that he had only recently given his attention to this subject, but he must say that the result of his examination of it had led him to doubt the efficiency of the Scottish system of banking. The reasons which had led him to this conclusion are embodied in the following amendment, which he pro posed:— " Whereas it appears frem authentic document , that the average circulating medium of exchange in Scotland has not increased, but diminished, in the course of the last twenty years, while the population and productive industry of the country have been, during the same period, greatly augmented; it is therefore doubtful whether the present state of the currency is capable of extension corresponding to the business wants of the country. In these circumstances, it is inexpe dient for the Council to come to any resolution appro hatory of the Scottish system of banking until further - iniiiiierhe 7. iiiititufeetrisrOfe-espeleiallv when itis kept in view that the currency in England, which con sists of gold to nearly one-half of its entire amount, has gradually increased, and now amounts to fifty - four-millions, being at the rate of fully 31. for every man, woman, and child, in the country ; while that of Scotland, amounting as it does to less than three mil lions, averages about 1/. for every inhabitant." After the speeches from different members for and against the resolutions, among whom Treasurer Thomson distinguished himself by his opposition to some of the resolutio ns , espec i a ll y t h ose re l at i ng to the necessity for security being required of the bankers for the amount issued, the discussion was ad journed for a fortnight. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. SOUTH-EASTERN (LONDON AND DOVER) RAILWAY. We learn that Sir John Kirkland, Mr. W. H. Thomas (Deputy Chairman of the Chester and Holyhead Rail way), and Mr. Robert Browne, of Liverpool, have been elected Directors of the London and Dover Railway, in the place of General Hodgson, Mr. Cardwell, M.P., and Mr. Lewis Cubitt, who have resigned; and that Mr. Francis Mills has been elected Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors in the place of Mr. W. P. Richards, who has also retired front the Direction. NON-COMPLIANCE WITH THE STANDING ORDERS BY NEW RAILWAY PROJECTS. Among other defaulters the Barnsley and Goole Rail way did not deposit their plans with the clerk of the peace at Wakefield, on the 30th ultimo, and have conse quently not complied with the standing orders of Parlia ment. The Lincolnshire and Sheffield Junction, from I n so to fai S ie h d effi to el d d e , po w s i i t t h th a eir bm pla n n ch s in to ac G co ai r n d s a bor nce o w ug it h h , L ha in v c e o a l the standing orders. The latter project was under th e guarantee of the Sheffield and M anc h e ster and Midland Companies. This change in the position of affairs is of very great importance to the London and York Railway, as it is now the only line which forms a direct com munication north and south from London to York. placing all the towns between the two cities on a main line, at the same time that it effects the same importan , object for the whole tract of country, east and west, from Liverpool to Boston, which it does, in a continuous and unbroken chain, by its junction with the Sheffield and Manchester, Manchester and Leeds, Wakefield, Pon. tefract, and Goole, and Newark and Sheffield Railways. In fact it most fully occupies a vast space yet unoccu pied by any railway ; ar.d places Sheffield on a main line between Liverpool and Boston, and between Liver pool and London, eleven miles shorter than the existing route. The plans and books of reference of the London and York line, notwithstanding its extent of 320 miles, were nearly everywhere the first deposited, and, so far as their app tr=ance goes, are highly creditable to the parties engaged upon them.

Manchester, Barnsley, and Goole. RECEIVED DEC. 3. Sheffield and Lincolnshire Junction. From this statement it will be seen that the Man chester, Barnsley, and Goole, and Sheffield and Lincoln shire Junction Railway plans were deposited too late for an application to Parliament next session, the one being left at half-past six on Monday , morning ;and the other on Tuesday at noon. We understand a crowd of surveyors, some of whom had been waiting from day-break, were in attendance 6n 'Monday morning to copy the plans. On the doors being opened the rush was tremendous, and but for the accommodation provided by the magis trates for this special occasion, it would not have ben possible to accommodate one-fifth of the gentlemen in attendance. On Tuesday morning the number was greatly increased, and at least forty persons were en gaged in inspecting and copying the plans during the greater part of the day. IVe have heard several gen tlemen express their approbation of the extensive pro vision which had been made for their convenience, seven or eight rooms being appropriated to their use. We are told that most of the plans were deposited in good time —namely, before half-past eleven at night, one or two only having been received between that time and twelve o'clock. BATHS AND WASHHOUSES TOR THE LABOURING aesses.—Wednesday a meeting of the inhabitants of the parish of St. Pancras took place at the vestry-rooms in Gordon-square, for the purpose of concerting measures to establish baths and washhouses in that district of the metropolis for the accommodation of the labouring classes. Mr. Harris was in the chair. Mr. Douglas, who acted as honorary secretary, prooeeded to state that the meeting had been convened in consequence of a communication received by the vestry from the parent institution, calling upon the parish to aid the Society as much as possible in the establishment of a bath and wasbhouse for the labouring classes in that populous locality, and the vestry deeming the principle a good one, although they bad no power to place the paro chial funds to such a purpose, felt it their duty to form amongst themselves a Committee, and call upon the parishioners generally to aid in so beneficial an object for the poor. Mr. T. H. Smith moved a resolution in support of the object in view, which, after some dis • cussion, was unanimously agreed to. Mr. James Ho warth, one of the churchwardens, was then unani mously elected treasurer, and a numerous Committee were subsequently appointed to carry out the objects of the meeting. Subscriptions were then entered into, the Chairman heading the list with 51, and a considerable sum having been collected, thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. Firm—About half-past three on Wednesday morning a fire broke out upon the premises of Mr. Treeby, buil der, Milton-street, New-road. Flames were first 60ell issuing from the lower part of the building by the con stable, who instantly raised an alarm, In a short time there were in attendance sis engines, under the direction of Mr. Fogo, and two others. The fire burned most bril liantly, the glare being distinctly seen from the bridges. Abundance of water being at hand, the engines wer. , spoil got to work, but not a vestige of stock or huileling, ex cept the walls, could be saved ?

On that occasion Sir Robert Peel, while he proposed and carried important changes and regulations affecting the system of bank ing and currency, at the same time declared that he re served for future legislation the system of banking in Scotland and Ireland, and that he purposely abstained from saying anything about the issue of small notes at that time, as it might raise a storm which he might not be able to allay. The regulations which he then pro posed were generally allowed to be founded on just principles, and I concur in the general opinion that their tendency will be to keep the currency .in a healthy state, and to prevent those sudden fluctua tions from excessive issues in times of prosperity, to excessive contractions in times of panic, which have from time to time bees so disastrous to the country. It will be well to notice here that one of the regula tions proposed by Sir Robert Peel is to prevent the establishment of any new bank of issue, and that if any of the existing banks shall cease to issue paper, it shall not be in its power to resume such issues, and that none of the existing banks of issue shall at any future time keep in circulation a greater amount of paper than the average of the last twelve weeks. Thus we have a se curity, that however great the temptation, it will not be in the power of the banks to increase the amount of paper money in circulation to an injurious extent, htlt, cm ilia oontrarv, whatever change is made, it must be in the direction of diminution, as every bank of issue which gives up, or which ceases to circulate notes, will so far contract the circulation of the country. Some have said that Sir Robert Peel will not propose to interfere with the circulation of small notes in Scotland ; others that he ought, and that he will. Any one who carefully considers the principles which he has adopted, and which he has enunciated, may see that they lead to the suppression of all small notes ; but it does not follow that he will press the adoption of his measures, if we can prove from ex• perience that the Scottish system of banking has been beneficial to the country, and that his views are in direct opposition to the wishes and views of the people of Scotland, generally and decidedly expressed. It is, therefore, the more necessary that the sentiments of the people of Scotland should be made known as early as possible, to prevent the adoption of mea sures prejudicial to the interests of the country. He then adverted to the objections raised against the Scotch banking system, the issue particularly of small notes, and the alleged injury which Scotland caused to England by being exempted from the same monetary regulations, and, after answering these ob jections, thus concluded : "If you are satisfied that the charges against our notes, especially our small notes, are not well founded, but that, on the contrary, from the discreet and judicious manner in which they have been issued by the Scotch banks, they have tended greatly to pro mote the prosperity of the country, and that their sup pression would be attended with disastrous conse quences to the trade, manufactures, and agriculture of Scotland, and would occasion great distress among all classes of the community, you will adopt the resolutions I have now to propose. In throw ing my thoughts together, I was under the impres sion, from reading Sir Robert Peel's speech, that the restriction of the issues of paper money to the average of the previous two years, i was applicable to the Scotch as well as the English banks ; but on looking at the Act since I entered the Council, I perceive that this regulation applies only to the English banks. I am, however, of opinion that it is but fair and right that the Scotch banks should be placed on the same footing as to the restriction of the amount of their issues as the English. This would give a perfect security against any excessive issue of, paper money in Scot land as well as in England. Some have brought for ward and supported resolutions that the system of Scotch banking should not be interfered with in any particular whatever. I consider this as taking too high ground, for it can hardly be maintained, that however excellent the Scotch system of banking is, that it is absolute perfection ; all I propose is, to object to any interference with the essential principles of Scotch banking. His Lordship moved the adoption of the following resolutions : "That the prosperity of Scotland has been greatly promoted by the well-regulated system of banking which has existed in it for nearly 150 years. " That the public confidence in the stability of the Scottish banks is fully justified by the ample security afforded by their ability to answer all the demands that can be made upon them, inasmuch as to meet their paper currency in circulation, amounting to less than three millions, they have a paid-up capital of about twelve millions, with nearly a million of Ex chequer .bills, and gold or Bank of England paper, and the responsibility of numerous and wealthy indi vidual partners. " That the present system is intimately incorpo rated with the trade of the country, has grown with its growth and strengthened with its strength, and is so accommodated to the habits and feelings of the Scottish people, that any interference with its essen tial principles, if it did not immediately and directly disturb and embarrass the trading and manufacturing and agricultural interests, would at least spread such general distrust and alarm as would be widely disas trous to the community. " That while the Scottish system of banking has been of great advantage to Scotland, it has, at the same time, been beneficial to the empire generally, by supplying to a certain extent a safe, economical, and well-regulated currency, by furnishing a capital to the Scottish tradesmen and agriculturists, by means of which they have been enabled to encourage the trade and manufactures of England. " That the great objection which has been brought against the circulation of paper money, that of occa sioning disastrous fluctuations in the mercantile world by excessive issues in times of prosperity, and sudden contractions in times of depression, cannot be brought against the Scottish banks, the issues of which having been prudently accommodated to the wants of the public. " That on these grounds, if it should be deemed necessary, petitions should he sent to both Houses of Parliament, and that it be left to the Provost's Com mittee to decide on the propriety of petitioning, and t of the time at which this should be donq," ANNUITIES, Annuitants participate In the profits of the Company, and receive a rate of annuity much more favourable than can be granted by any Company making its investments wholly in England.

It is stated that the attempt to erect a ligi:ihouse on the Goodwin Sands has been successful, so far as it has yet proceeded; the iron shaft having been raised on the caisson to the height of twenty feet, or above high water mark. This shaft penetrates through the various iron chambers of the caisson, and is firm!y sustained in its perpendicular position by two iron Plummer blocks of great strength. It is also farther secured by iron stays or braces, which are bolted to the outer part of the caisson, and attached to the top, as well as the centre of the column. The new light will have an t levation of thirty-three feet above high-water mark, and the light house will be approached by a light iron spiral stair, which windAound the exterior of the column, and is an octagon of about ten feet in diameter, surmounted by plate-glass lantern. The colour of the light is to be a pale blue, which will distinguish it from any other in the locality of the Goodwin. Low TIDES.—For some days past at low water the river has had a very curious appearance, owing to the tide receding to a greater extent than usual. It has given employment to numerous men and boys in digging up different parts of the bed of the river in search of coin and other articles. On Wednesday the tide re ceded on the east side of Blackfriars-bridge, leaving a very small space indeed between the Opposite shores. Several ancient coins were found near Iloppe's wharf some of them were in excellent preservation ; stntA r; them were some pieces of the reign of George the Se cond, a half-crown of Charles the First's reign, and several small Dutch coins, which could not he distin guished. At moat of the piers extra lighters were thrown out to enable the steamers to embark and dis embark their passengers.--[W c give the statement about the finding of coins as received from a contributor . we know nothing of the fact.] SINGULAR ACCIDENT.-4 few clays ago, a valu ableThr e f spring a, , Hall Cross, Freckleton, was found hanged be tween two branches of a tree, in the tow.
