Daylight View of LONDON in the OLDEN TIME! Painted by 'Janson aid Telbin. The sensation caused by this unrivalled production is beyond all former precedent; the artist, tie amateur, the casual observer are all struck with its extraordinary beauty and fidelity of delinea ton, and are unanimous in pronouncing it the most wonderful ex hibition ever witnessed. To view it only a- a vehicle for the terrific display at Dusk is unjust ; it should be seen in the calm stillness of the quiet Evening, with its Towers and Steeples reflected in the spa cious Lake, to be fully appreciated. The Evening PROMENADE CONCERTS, on Mon'ays, Tues. days, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, conducted by Mr. Godfrey, are uron a scale of more than usual excellence: but words fail in doing justice to the awful representation of THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON. Its fearful characteristics are truthfully pourtrayed, but at the same time so beautifully blended with the Wonders of the Pyrotechnic At t„ that delight is predominant over terror; and the thousands who nightly crowd the Gardens hail it with acclamations, and admit that Southby, the Unrivalled Pyrotechoist, his achieved a matchless Inuniph.

This unique Museum has been visited often, during the last and present year, by the Royal Fami'y, the Duke of Wellington, the Foreign Princes, Ambassadors, an I their Ladles, also, many thousands of the Nobility and Public; and the Pro trietor has recently been able to increase, by several very fine pictures, &c., his previous almost incredible number and variety of MSS. Works of Art, and a multitude of valuable Relic', and other znrio;ities, in this most instructive and, as hundreds have said it ',light to be, a National Museum. Many thousand have inspected it, i ,, el THIRTY PRINCIPAL EDITORS of the rin3r,tc PRESS Lye stated that it ought to be seen by every oae. The price of admis 1' is reduced to ONE SHILLING. Lord COTTENHAM opposed the third reading, and, in a speech of some length, said, the Bill would perpetuate those evils which 'Lord LYNDHURST had so ably exposed on the introduction of his Bill. Lord BROUGHAM defended the Bill, which, after some discussion, was read a third time. The House adjourned at Half-past Eleven o'clock. The Commons met at twelve o'clock, when Mr. EWART gave notice that he should this day put a question to Sir JAMES GRAHAM, relative to the re mission of the capital punishment on DALMAS. The report of the Poor-law Bill was brought up, and several amendments were proposed, but they were rejected by large majorities. The further con sideration of the report was deferred till the evening sitting. The House met again at Five o'clock, and after a few petitions had been presented, the House went into Committee on the Controverted Elections Bill. The principal clauses were agreed to, and the House resumed. Report to be received this day, at twelve. The order of the day for the further consideration of the Poor-law Amendment Bill was read, when some amendments were adopted, and the Bill was or dered to be read a third time this day. A number of Bills were read a third time and passed, the other orders of the day were disposed of, and the House adjourned at Half-past Twelve. Just as we anticipated a few days since, when writing on the subject, the speech of Sir ROBERT PEEL, in reply to Mr. WYSE'S Education motion on Friday night, in the House of Commons, has had the effect of rousing the bigoted sensibilities of the Irish Orange party, and filling them with the most sombre speculations respecting the future course of policy that may be adopted by the Premier. The Dublin Evening Mail, which is the accredited organ of that meek and enlightened party, is quite furious on the subject, and discovers that the axe is already laid to the root of Protestantism, which must ere long fall in ruins to the earth. " The Protestant people of Ire land," says our Contemporary, "may for a moment doubt the evidence of their own senses, and hesitate to believe in the .reality of their danger. But that moment's pause will seal their destruction. The power of Government will be brought to bear against their opposition; the timid will be frightened; the bold and conscientious frowned upon ; the vacillating cogently reasoned with ; the corrupt purchased; and finally the garrison, having been brought into public contempt, the citadel of Protestantism will fall an easy prey to its enemies." liere is a long catalogue of horrors, not an item in which but is calculated to set the hair bristling on the head of every Orange bigot in the sister country ! But the Mail's griev ances are by no means novel in their character, for our Contemporary has raised precisely the same cla mour, whenever any measure of more than ordinary justice and liberality has been suggested for the be nefit of Ireland. On all occasions of this sort— which, " like angel's visits," have invariably been " few and far between "—he has never failed to get up a cry of the "Church in Danger," and to assert that the whole fabric of Irish Protestantism is me naced with irremediable destruction. Thus he acted when Lord NORMANDY took the reins of Government, and the same when Lord FORTESCUE was installed as Viceroy ; but despite his triste and noisy predictions, Protestantism has contrived to sur vive both administrations, and will continue to survive ages after our Contemporary has ceased to write, and his readers to peruse, his gloomy va'icinations. If, however, for the term " Protestantism," the Mail will allow us to substitute the term " bigotry," we will grant that there is some ground for his apprehensions, for it is scarcely possible to believe otherwise than that a scheme of national education, such as Sir ROBERT PEEL seems to have in his eye, will inflict a " heavy blow and great discouragement" on the cause of Irish intolerance. But surely it is high time that this should be the case; and that an ulcer, which for a long series of years has been preying on the national vitals, should be torn up by the roots ; and a chance at least be given to the sister country of gaining something like a healthy constitution ! There are no means by which this desirable result can so succesfully be arrived at as by education. Afford facilities of instruction to the middle and lower classes of Irishmen; let their instruction be conducted on a liberal and enlarged system, without reference to particular creeds and schisms ; and from that auspicious moment, bigotry will cease to be the chilly, withering blight it has so long been to the energies of Ireland. Even as the morning sun dispels the unwholesome vapours of the night, so will the calm, steady, penetrating light of intelligence disperse the darkness of bigotry, more cheerless even than the gloom of the grave. That the Orangemen anticipate such an inevitable result from the system of education hinted at by Sir R, PEEL, is evident from the clamour they are now get ting up on the subject—a clamour which will most likely be chorussed by the high Protestant party in England, who have many strong points in common with their Irish brethren. But the Premier, we trust, will not allow himself to be scared from the path of obvious duty by the senseless ravings of bigots, whether English or Irish, but press boldly forward with his task, an.l not desist till he has brought it to a successful issue. He owes a heavy debt to Ireland, whose welfare he has neglected, if not treated with absolute indifference, for the two last sessions ; and the very least he can do is to pay off an instalment of this debt by such a scheme of practical education as shall have the best interests of the people, not of a mere party, for its ob ject. In the present case, we believe Sir ROBERT PEEL to be really sincere in his desire to amelio rate the condition of the sister-country ; and sure are we that, if his determination and perseverance be on a par with his sincerity, he will triumphantly carry his point, for he will have a majority of the two Houses of Parliament with him, and will be opposed only by the incurably prejudiced and bigoted, who, fortunately constitute a minority in both kingdoms. The "Causes of Incendiarism," to which we have lately adverted, in a few articles devoted to a retro spect of the melancholy outrages that have disgraced some of our eastern counties—are well touched by a " Correspondent," who dates from Norwich. It is impossible to approach such a subject without pain —difficult to discuss it without the hazard of doing harm by such a discussion ; yet it is one as impracti cable for us, as public journalists, to pass by unno ticed, as it would be impolitic not to denounce such crimes, were it practicable to be silent on the fact of their existence. In this conviction we proceed, with out further hesitation, to remark upon our Norwich Correspondent's communication. It is so recently that we took occasion to express our concurrence in the manly views of the actual con dition of our agricultural-labour population, with those avowed in the Hon. and Rev. Mr. GODOLPHIN OSBORNE'S letter to the Duke of RICHMOND; that we shall not use any argument, or employ any statis tical authorities, to prove the allegation that our land owners and farmers are too much addicted to pay their out-door servants very inadequate wages. We are confirmed in this belief by the still later declara tions of the Times on this subject. They bear out Mr. OSBORNE'S charge that your great farmers and herders of stock have.not a single animal to whose lodging, training, and management, they do not devote more pains, expense, attention, and solicitude than The Earl of RADNOR gave notice that he would' they will manifest on behalf of their poor labourers, this day put a questi on t o L or d WHARNCLIFFE, re- &c.

ECOIST) I taxes which they stand at, out of the wages they pay to their . unfortunate labourers. The first result of the system so adopted is a most fatal and but too ob vious one. It becomes an element of their calcu lation as to the expenses of the farm they are about to occupy, under this competition-excitement, that a portion of their labour will be done by single men, at a cost just half of what they will have to pay to married labourers. It is abundantly clear that the money profit of such practice—from which no benefit; in the true sense of the word, can be said to result to any one—centres finally in the landlord who encourages this reckless, Irish sort of competi tion for the occupation of his farms. But the immediate consequence obviously is this, in a district of labour already redundant in amount and underpaid in wages,—namely, to encourage and foment improvident marriages. It is the surest means for the unmarried labourer to increase his earnings, to induce some female to unite her destiny to his already hopeless condition. In this way a generation of improvident, discontented, and destitute pauper labourers is now established around the very employers with whose interests, in a healthier condition of circumstances, and under a better system of management, their• own would have always been identified. Day by day the condition of one or both parties deteriorates ; and their interests, appear to the moody and jaundiced l i reflection of the starving cottager, surrounded by the family whose sole.dependence is on the wages of his labour, to be directly opposed. The landowners would really do well to balance the utmost profit they can derive from a mere incidental increase of their rentals, (through the folly or thoughtless ness of competing parties who are ready to pay absurdly exorbitant rentals, or to subscribe to yet more absurdly exorbitant terms of agreement with them, in order to hold under them as tenants), against the certain influence which these causes exercise on the crime of incendiarism. The only true method that can ever be successful in extinguishing its suicidal firebrand, is, for the landowner to treat on terms of liberality and consideration with the tenant-farmer, contenting himself with a smaller but a more equi table and safer rental; and for the tenant-farmer to discharge his duty to the labourers 'and others whom he employs, by paying them such just and fair wages for their services, as shall not drive them, in the paroxysms of their unsatisfied hunger, or of their angry disappointment, to the concoction of schemes of vengeance and destruction against the property, the homes, and even the persons of those who should consider themselves the natural friends and• protectors, riot the spoilers or defrauders, of the industrious poor. Madrid papers of the 18th have been received. One of these states that the QUEEN had signed a de cree for proclaiming martial law throughout Spain. The Castellano, without attaching much credit to the report, says "we should prefer so an exceptional a state of things (which is necessary in an exceptional situation) to the singular and incomprehensible state in which we are, provided such a measure had an object beneficial to the country and were not adopted for the sole purpose of oppressing quiet peo ple." Such an act is extremely probable. NARVAEZ cannot halt between two opinions. He cannot at the same time act the despot, and allow the Cortes to de liberate with freedom. During the ensuing elections, under the pretext of preventing disturbances, he may say it is necessary to give the mili tary full power. But the press also must be gagged or put down, and that process is in a fair way of being accomplished. Five prosecutions had been instituted against a paper, called the Monarquia, and the editor there announces that he must suspend its publication. Proceedings had also been instituted against other papers. It was said that M. PASCUAL INGLADA, former intendant of the province of Toledo, had been ar rested, and was to be tried as an accomplice in the murder of General QUESADA. The Three per Cents. were done at 26i at 60days, and the Five per Cents. at 191. Marshal BuGEAuD has fought another battle with the Moors near Ouchda, in which they were com pletely defeated and driven into the interior of the country. A telegraphic dispatch received by the French Government on Wednesday, and dated from the bivouac of Sidi-Zaer on the 16th, announces that the Marshal having been provoked by a -fresh attack on the part of the Moors, routed and pursued them to the distance of three days' march beyond Ouchda. He returned on the 15th to the camp of Lala-Magrina. " All the tribes were offering to submit, even those which are situated on the territory of Morocco." These repeated collisions tend to show either that the Emperor of MOROCCO is not sincere in disowning the acts of the Moorish chiefs, or that they set his authority at defiance. Some of the French journals, indeed, state the latter is the fact, and that the influence of ABD-EL-KADER is almost unbounded. It is to be feared, therefore, that the fleet must be employed to subdue these tribes, as an extensive barren tract, without water, lies between the frontier and capital, which entirely precludes the march of troops in, that quarter. Nearly similar ac counts to those given in the telegraphic dispatch had been received at Toulon on the 20th. They declare that Marshal INGEAun was carrying on the war with great spirit, that he had again entered the Moorish territory, and was driving everything before him with fire and sword. The Paris Siecle, after stating that the Marshal had no hopes of terminating the differences peaceably, adds : ‘. It is said, that after the affair of the 3d July he wrote to the Prince de Joinville to pray him to act immediately. The Prince is said to havO weighed anchor on the 7th from the roads of Mers-el-Keber, with the intention of commencing hostilities. Reflection and the fear of engaging his responsi bility, which is it fact great, or perhaps the information he received at Gibraltar, have modified the ardour of the young Admiral, who has proceeded to the Bay of Algesiras to await further orders. We have heard from authority, and we be lieve it, that a ship , of war has been dispatched with instruc tions to the Prince modifying those brought with him from Paris, and several regiments quartered in the south have re ceived orders to embark at Toulon. It is not probable that the Cabinet would incur such an expense if they thought it possible to avoid it. It is cavalry particularly that Marshal 114geaud demands. Two regiments have been sent him, but our French horses are little suited to support the fatigues of a war in Africa, and.no doubt this cavalry will be employed in the interior. In this manner the Marshal may dispose of 60 squadrons to enter Morocco, which will, so doubt, furnish means of remounting the men. For this reason Marshal Soult would not appoint a substitute. He directs all the ope rations from his estate at St. Amand, where the dispatches are directed to him." Several arrests had been made at Neuilly, but no cause is assigned. Arrests are also said to have taken place at Lyons, in consequence of a discovery that the weavers had entered into an association for a general turn-out, and had formed depots of arms of a partial sort, with a view to an attack upon the authorities of the department of the Rhone. The Prince de MONT MORENCY-ROBECQ is to be tried at the Paris Assizes " on the charge of having distributed and sold signs or symbols intended to propagate the spirit of rebellion or disturb public peace."

There is to be no religious distinction.

This is the way to re concile contending creeds. Why should Christians quarrel with one another in distress ? Why should religious dogmas, of which the children know no thing and the fathers little, stand in the way of cha rity?

The increase has taken place chiefly in diseases of the first class called zymotic, among which are small-pox, scarlatina, diarrhoea, and typhus. The deaths from scarlatina were 72, average 39 ; diar rhoea 40, average 27 ; typhus 34, average 28 ; and trom small-pox 37, average 11. The deaths from consump tion and inflammation of the lungs, and, indeed, from most others, are considerably below the average. Of the 37 who died of small-pox, 24 had not been vac cinated. The following is an analysis of the list of violent deaths :—Fracture or contusion, five cases, of which 1 was by a carriage, a n d 3 b y falls ; wound, 1 case; poison, 3 cases, of which 2 were accidental, and 1 a suicide ; drowning, 9 cases, of which 4 were acci dental, 1 suicide, and in 4 it is not stated whether they were accidental or otherwise; . suffocation by foul air, 1 case; and " accidental" (an imperfect verdict), 1 case. Total 16 males (including 1 case put to tetanus) and 4 females. THIS DAY'S NEWS. ,t BANKRUPTCY.--(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner GpuLnowor.) IN THE CASE OF ROE AND RLACKFORD. The bankrupts, who had been acting managers of the Joint- Stock Bank, Newport, Isle of Wight, applied to-day for their certificate. ➢ir. Montague Chambers with Mr. Sturgeon were present on the part of the bankrupts; and ' Edwin James with Mr. Sturgeon were retained by the Directors and Shareholders of the Bank to oppose them. The evidence liken on a former ,day having been read at the request of Mr. Lucas, Mr. JAMES rose to oppose the granting of the certificate. He said that he would briefly lay facts before his Honour to prove that both the bankrupts had' acted in the most flagrant manner, both in their capacity of bankers and more lately in that of servants, and he was sure that his Honour would be well able to discriminate whether the one was more faulty than the other. The case was a most important one, and he should detain the Court but a very short time, as his friend Mr. Chambers would no doubt address it after wards at length, and with great ability, in behalf of the bankrupts. The present opposition was not entered upon from any vindictive feelings to the bankrupts themselves, but from a desire to do a duty to the shareholders of the Joint-Stock Bank, and to the general public. It appeared that the bankrupts Roe and Blackford had succeeded to the banking business carried on in Newport, Isle of Wight, under the firm of Sir Richard Bassett and Co. In 1842, this bank was considerably pressed, and in fact insolvent. A number of gentlemen unaware of the fact, however, proposed to amalgamate, if he might so say, into a joint• stock bank, the operations and business of the other. These gentlemen were of the highest standing and respectability in the island, and the bankrupts at once ac ceded to their proposition although they were then, as was subsequently discovered, actually insolvent to the enormous amount of 50,000 or 60,000 pounds. He (Mr. James) would direct his Honour's attention to this fact, fully confident that that alone would afford suffi cient reason for refusing their certificate. But there was something .of even 'a deeper dye than this non-disclosure of their insolvent condition. Mr. Blackford, on being asked whether a true statement of the assets of Bassett's bank had been furnished to the directors of the joint-stock bank, said that he was not aware such was iequired. He (Mr. James) would prove by witnesses that Blackford had said that that statement should be furnished every hour; but it never was furnished, and the most paltry excuses were alleged for his non-compliance in this respect—such as that the customers of Bassett's bank would feel aggrieved if their private affairs were exposed, &c. Yet all this time Blackford knew that he and his partner were insolvent; and he still stated, not once but often, not to one person but to many, that the bank was perfectly solvent. The shareholders and directors of the joint -stock bank were grievously deceived, and a debt of 63,0001. was saddled upon them, in consequence of the bank rupts' misconduct. The joint-stock bank paid off a sum of Glyn and Company for 21,0001., thus purchasing the business of the old banking-house, and they then placed the bank rupts in the confidential position ot"managers of the concern. The bankrupts had now entered Upon a course of deceit in not • communicating the state of their affairs, and in order to screen themselves from the just indignation of the directors, they tried all manner of shi fts, some of which he should lay before his Hono u r. Th e y h a d pledged a number of secu rities, as deeds, promissory-notes, and so forth, with the Messrs. Currie, to an - amount stated to repre sent thirty-two thousand pounds. This they had no right to do, for the property was that of the joint-stock bank ; but the bankrupts' motives were simply to patch up the falling credit of Bassett's bank, and they did so for a time by this contrivance. His Honour would find that, on the 14th of November, 1842, a letter was written to the Messrs. Currie and Co. by Mr. BlaCkford, stating that he " would feel obliged if Messrs. Currie would forward promissory notes of Bassett and Co., as per other side," and he signs this as manager of the joint-stock bank. Those securities were no more theirs than they were his (Mr. James's), and the Messrs. Currie thought that they were parted with to the join-stock hank. On the 21st of November a similar circumstance occurred, and again a third in December, mak ing in all upwards of 9,000/. got in this manner, which he (Blackford) took credit for. They were all this time insolvent, and they knew it ; but when certain of the old customers to Bassett's bank wished their sums, or nominal sums—for there were no assets to meet the claims of creditors—to be transferred to the joint-stock bank, the bankrupts did so, thus, in fact, saddling their debts on the shareholders and directors, whose confi dence they had so sadly abused. He might continue the calendar of their misconduct, but he -thought he had said enough to make his Honour pause before granting the bank rupts certificates, and be would now call witnesses into the box to prove these allegations. The bankrupt Blackford was placed in the box, and his examination, by Mr. Lucas, was going on when our re porter left. UNION-HALL.-(THIS DAY.) William Etheridge, landlord of the White Horse Tnn, Fann street, Aldersgate, was placed at the bar charged with steal ing a wooden frame and some wood letters, the alleged pro perty of George Jasling, landlord of the Cricketers, at Cam berwell. The complainant stated that he took the Cricketers from the prisoner, whose name in large wooden letters was over the front of the house. The prisoner had on several occasions asked for the letters forming his name, which were refused, and at four o'clock that morning he brought some men with him, and proceeded to take down his name, when complain ant, hearing the noise, went out and gave him into custody. Mr. Child, the solicitor, contended that there was not the slightest pretext for charging the defendant, a highly re spectable man, with felony ; that the wooden letters, com posing his name, were not, included in the inventory of the goods purchased by the complainant, when he took the Cricketers from the accused. Mr.- TRAILL expressed his surprise that the accused should have been subjected to the indignity of being given into cus tody on a charge for which there were not the slightest grounds. The Magistrate, haying strongly deprecated the conduct of the complainant in making such a charge, imme diately discharged Mr. Etheridge, who expressed his inten tion of adopting proceedings against his accuser for false im prisonment.

The returns for the present week show rather a larger ar rival of English Wheat for our market, the time of year con sidered, viz., 6,760 quarters, while the stands were well filled with samples. Both English and foreign qualities were a mere drug, and might have been purchased on lower terms. The supply of Barley was not to say large, yet the sale for that article was exceedingly heavy, at barely Monday's prices. In Malt so little was doing that the quotations were almost nominal. Oats, Beans, and Peas were excessively dull and the turn lower. ARRIVALS. Barley. Oats. Flour 80 qrs. 4 1,710 300 qrs. 4,Blosacks. -- -- 9,570 14, , 310 Malt, 2,110 qrs. SMITHFIELD.

This was eli cited by a question put by Mr. Labouchere in the House of Commons last night, to which Mr. Gladstone replied that par ties duly qualified to give certificates of origin as to sugars ex ported from the Dutch East India Colonies had been ap pointed.

The Piccadilly Improvement Bill, Wilson's Estate Bill, the Bishop of London's Estate Bill, and Gaper's Divorce Bill, were read a second time, and ordered to be committed. Mr. DARBY presented a petition from Surrey against any alteration in the corn-laws. kr. M. J. O'CONNELL presented seventy-five peti tions from various parts of Ireland, in favour of a repeal of the legislative union between England and Ireland. CONTIIOVERTED ELECTIONS BILL. Mr. GREENE brought up the report upon this Bill. On the motion that the amendments of the Committee be agreed to, Mr. V. SMITH said this Bill contained the same error which pervaded all former Bills on this subject— namely, that of considering controverted elections as a matter between two contending parties, and not as a matter affecting the public generally. He regretted that the number of Members on Committees on contro verted elections had been fixed at five. He thought it would have been much more convenient to have made three the number of Members to be on these Commit tees. He thought that some means ought to be adopted to limit the expense of conducting an opposition to a pe tition. By the present constitution of the bar for election Committees, that bar was very limited, and the conse quence was, that one eminent counsel was frequently engaged on half-a-dozen Committees at once. He made a speech in- one Committee and then ran off to another, and the consequence was, that a number of junior counsel were engaged to conduct the other parts of the case. Although this Bill effected a slight improvement, yet he could not support the principle upon which it was founded. Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET did not see why the services of an eminent counsel should be confined to one Committee. Although the Right Hon. Gentleman had objected to this Bill, yet he had suggested nothing in its place. The amendments were then agreed to. SAVINGS BANKS BILL. On the motion for going into Committee on this Bill, Mr. HUME complained that uniformity had not been observed in this Bill with respect to the payment of in • terest on deposits. He also complained that the original intention with respect to the establishment of savings' banks had not been carried out. Savings' banks were established for the benefit of the working classes, but persons of all descriptions had been allowed to become depositors in savings' banks. He complained of the amount of salaries to persons employed as managers and clerks in the savings banks of the country. Many abuses had crept into our system of savings -banks, and he was sorry to find that the Chancellor of the Ex chequer had not endeavoured to remedy them. Pro bably—and no doubt this was the case—the Chancellor was ignorant of the existence of these abuses ; but he (Mr. Hume) assured him that he bad paid a great deal of attention to the subject, and he had discovered many abuses which ought to be remedied as early as possible. Ile was anxious to check the practice of persons of the better classes being allowed to become depositors. These persons were allowed to deposit 201. or 30L, and receive interest upon it at' once, whilst the poor man, who deposited his few shillings at a time, received no interest until his deposits had reached a certain sum in the aggregate. 3,11 1 :1 ARBY thought this Bill would prove very beneficiaL The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER agreed in much that had fallen from the Hon. Member for Mon trose, but it should be recollected that Parliament had not originated savings' banks. It had, however, given encouragement to them when they were once formed, and had conferred upon them a degree of security which they had not before possessed. There were two great abuses which were likely to arise in connection with savings' banks. The first was, • that the high rate of interest would hold out an inducement to per sons to deposit moneys in those banks, for whose benefit or use they were never intended. The whole number of depositors under 20/. was only six per cent. of the whole number of de positors. The other evil which was likely to arise was, that if the rate of interest was low it would tend to, en courage extravagance on the part of the banks. The be.. mode of guarding against both those abuses, was to make the rate of interest given, by the savings' bank) lower than what could be obtained if money was invested in other public securities. At the dif ferent rates of interest given by the banks of deposit, he did not think it was an ob jectionable feature in the present system ; but, at all events, it was unavoidable. The Right Hon. Gentleman went on to show by documentary evi dence that the public was rather a gainer than a loser by . the management at present adopted. He proposed to raise the maximum rate of interest from 2/. 15s. as ori ginally intended • to 3L—(Hear, hear.) • Mr. BROTHERTON thought that every encourage ment should be given to those establishments for the sake of the industrious labourers. He thought that the Chancellor of the Exchequer would do well to raise the maximum rate of interest to 3/. 10s. Mr. DIVETT thought that the savings' banks were conducted on the whole, so as to give satisfaction. He entirely approved a the principle on which the Bill was founded, and he thought that the greatest credit was due to the Chancellor of the Exchequer for the attention which he had given to the subject. Mr. LABOUCHERE approved on the whole of the principle of the Bill, and he agreed with the Hon. Gen tleman that the greatest credit was due to the Right Hon. Gentleman for the attention which he had devoted to the subject. He thought that the raising of the rate of in terest to 31. would give general satisfaction. He hoped that the smaller banks would be enabled to afford this rate of interest as well as the larger establishments. Col. RUSHBRQOKE thought that the raising of the rate _of interest to 31. would give satisfaction. He thought that every assistance should be given to the smaller banks. After a few words from Mr. HAWES and Mr. B. ESCOTT, the House went into Committee, Mr. GREENE in the chair. On clause 1 being proposed, Sir E. COLEBROOKE said it was considered that 10s. for the management was too much, and ss. too little. He wished to know whether the Chancellor of the Ex chequer would not allow 3/. 6s. Bd., that was 31. for in terest and 6s. Bd. for the management ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that they would regulate the rate of interest given by the savings bank, according to the general interest allowed by other general securities. He thought that 31. ss. was suffieient. Mr. HUME thought the Chancellor of the Exchequer was quite right. He hoped he would not be induced to allow more than 31. ss. Sir T. D. ACLAND thought the Chancellor of the Exchequer ought to allow 3/. Os. 10d. as interest. lie also thought that it was due to the smaller banks that a higher sum than ss. ought to be allowed for manage ment. He thought that 6s. Bd. was little enough ; and any person who knew anything of those savings' banks must be of the same opinion. He should propose that 6s. Bd. should be allowed. Mr. LABOUCHERE said that if the Hon. Baronet the Member for Devonshire divided the Committee on bis proposition, that the sum for management s h ou ld be 6s. Bd., he would support him in that proposition. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought that those who proposed 3/, 6s. Bd. could not have suffi ciently considered the relation in which the Government stood with regard to savings banks. They stood in the situation of a solvent banker, and they could not allow a higher rate of interest than the most solvent banker could afford. On those ground, he felt bound to adhere to the original proposition of 3/. ss. (LEFT SITTING LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) LONDON, JULY 26.—Wind W. to N.W., light breezes, and cloudy.

It was a wonderful structure, above 150 feet long by 50 feet wide, the dome in the centre rising to the height of 50 feet. The interior was lined with scarlet and white draperies, fes tooned all round, confined by rosettes of the same colours. Suspended from the roof were some sixty chandeliers, which were of course lighted up at dusk, contributing to render the interior a gorgeous spectacle. The exterior was surmounted by several minarets, from which floated banderols. It was boarded throughout, for it must be understood that it was subsequently to be converted into a " salon de dense," and three tables, extending the whole \ length of the marquee, were arranged for the sumptuous fare. Above 600 persons sat down to dinner at the same time, so the magnitude of the marquee may be imagined."—Marning Herald.
