Anther Branch will be opened in Islington, near the Angel, as soon as the premises have undergone the necessary alterations. TER MS OF BUSINESS : - Deposit Accounts—Three per cent. will be credited daily on all deposits for six mouths of 1/. and upwards, and the interest paid monthly, or accumulated half-yearly, at the option of the de positor, for every sum not then drawn, and which in such cases will for the next period of six months form together an increased principal sum bearing interest at three per cent.; and if not then drawn, be again accumulated as above for the next half-yearly period, and so on progressively, compounding the interest half-yearly. But in any particular case of need, the Directors will, It the circumstances justify an exception to their rules, repay the whole or any part of the deposit. The Directors having by the Charter the peculiar privilege of gra dually increasing the capital, will, when new shares are being alloted, give a preference, after the existing shareholders, to depositors who may wish to become proprietors, according to the priority of their applications, allowing, until a dividend be declared, three per cent. interest on all deposits set apart for shares. In accordance with the original purpose of the Institution, and of the early promise of its promoters, viz., to endeavour to make the proprietary body as nu merous as possible, and the corporation,, as far as the law will per mit, a society for banking on the principles of a mutual benefit association, the shareholders will have a preference in the enjoyment of such benefits as the bank can legitimately afford. Special Deposits for shorter or longer periods than 'six months will be received on such terms as may be arranged in each particular. case. Drawing or Current Accounts—One peecent. Interest, reckoned /rem day to day, will be allowed en all balances constant for six months, of 100/. and upwards; and two per cent. on alt such balances exceeding 2001. ; but the permanent maintenance of any balance will not be insisted on, when the party has not also a dis count account.

Official receipts will, on the one hand, be given to customers for all sums paid in, and their cheques on the other will be preserved by the Bank till the succeeding half-yearly balance, when the accounts will be certified and the vouchers exchanged, except in cases where par. ties may specially wish for a different arrangement. Advances or Loans on Promissory Notes with marketable securi ties readily convertible, will be made at rates proportioned to the nature and value of the security in each case.

The morning of the Bth was fine, with a light haze, and moderate wind from south-east. At 5.30 we shoved off; and on the morning of the 9th, at five minutes after eight A.M., landed on the south-east part of Cape Halket, and got the dip. It was now perfectly calm, and cloudy sky, with pack from two to three miles off shore, when, at a quarter to ten, we shoved off wader oars and steered a course for Point Berens, the eastern horn of Harrison's Bay. I found the current setting eastward—a great help to us—when, at 11 ♦.M., we en tered the ice right in our course, the sea being covered with large floes us far as the eye could reach, and some aground in five fathoms water. At 4.3 P.M., a heavy squall of rain, with wind from south-west, to which we made sail, and hauled a little to the southward to close the land, the sky looking very threatening—quantities o f dritt wood passing, driving to the northward as well as :he ice. On the morning of the 10th the breeze began to in crease, and sea get up, and our poor little vessels to labour very much, shipping water, and keeping our bailers constantly going. At 2 A.M. our sounding had been gradually decreasing from three fathoms and a half to one fathom, and we were all looking anxiously for land, to get on shore as soon as pos lible. The Logan had the Supply in tow, when, at 2.30 A.m., she parted her tow-rope. Secured her again, and at 3 sighted land, very low, which I take to be about the mouth of the Colville, from the shallow water old large quantities of drift wood. At 3.15 A.M. the water had shoaled to two feet, and before we could haul off were aground ; poled into deep water and stood to the northward. At 3.30 A.m. a strong breeze and a heavy sea, with laud barely in sight, I found it ab solutely necessary to make for it, a dead lee shore as it was, and effect a landing at all risks (the wind being About west), for at one time I was doubtful whether the Supply would reach ir, the Louisa and Logan being very little better. At 3.30 A.sr. the Supply pitched under, and with the weight of water broke off her head rails and tore the skin adrift, which was soon laced up again. It was now necessary to lighten, if we were to get on shore; so I gave the word, and threw overboard some of our lading, confining our selves to that damaged in the last gale. Our boats felt the relief directly, and at 6.30 A.N. we reached the ,bore, landing pretty well (about two miles south of L'oint Berens), with the exception of all bands getting in addition to our already wet garments. Cleared, and Hauled the boats up, and on overhauling found we had thrown overboard 2501b5. of bread, and seven cases of preserved potatoes, and a ten-gallon cask of water, caking it more imperative on us to be very careful of hat we have got. I now consider the worst part of our voyage over—no more deep bays to cross, but able to ke'p the land close on board. On the morning of the 11th we were all ready to pro ceed with dry clothes and with cheerful hearts, and at half-past seven A.M. shoved off, pulled up for Point Berens, and at ten minutes to nine Aix., landed as I intended, burying some pemmican, which would be a relitf to our boats, and on a conspicuous point likely be visited by those we are in search of, if successful in getting down to these shores and proceeding to the westward. We met here a great many natives, dl friendly and glad to see us, to whom I made present:, and made our cache without their observing it; the direction post we could not hide, but let it very deep into the soil. On shoving off we missed our shovel, and one of the men observed a native bury some thing in the sand and stand on it; I walked up to him, fully expecting it was the missing article, snd, on trying to find out what it was, he re ,isted, when Mr. Hooper pushed his hand completely through the sand, got hold of the shovel and hauled it from under hid]. The fellow was disappointed and fol lowed us to the boat, and while shoving off made another attempt to get it, with no better success. We ran to the eastward, with wind from W.N.W., between Jones's Isle and the main, when at 2.15 P.M. landed for dinner, and were soon joined by a baidar, or omiak, full of men and one woman, among whom we recognised our friend who had a tt empte d to steal the shovel; we did not allow them to come beyond a certain boundary line, when at 2.30 P.M. we started again with wind from N.W., still following the shore as close as the shoal water would permit, and when abreast of the western part of Return Reef, cros se d over to i t, and ran along its southern shores; while crossing over, observed the omiak following us, but keeping a respectable distance. At 8.30 P.M., landed on the Return Reef, and were soon visited by a party of natives, who were quite friendly. I gave them a few beads and small pieces f tobacco; but one of them, appar e ntly a c hi e f , was very desirous of getting powder. He had a musket of English manufacture, Barnet the name on it; also a powder-horn, with about a quarter of a pound of powder in it, but no shot. At 11.30 P.M. shoved off again, and saw approaching us four omiaks full of men and a few women, and observed two large camps, ono on the point of the main abreast o f us, the other, and larger, on a point a little to the eas t war d it. We were now pulling to the eastward with every appearance of a freshening breeze from N.E., and five large omiaks keeping close up with us; in one I counted 23, two out of the number women, and none of the others less than 16. We kept close order, not allowing them to approach too near. On passing the large camp, they tried hard to induce us to land, without success, so they left us, as I thought for good, when at 12.15 A.M. of the 12th, we were under the necessity of pulling in for the shore, and landing on a very shallow beach, about half a mile westward of Point Beechy, making but little progress against a strong north-easterly wind, and sea getting up. At 3 AM. the natives came up to us again, walking along the shore from their camp about two miles off, having certainly watched us all the time. They now mustered in large numbers; therecould not be less than eighty, among whom I recognised our friend of Point Berens, who tried to steal our shovel, and the chief, with his musket carried by his wife, and several other women present beside. I felt no ap prehension, but at the same time had all ready to embark at a moment's notice, drawing a line for their betinUry, and 1141 V them all *gated on sheir proper side, when the man with the musket crossed over and made many demands for powder, which I would not give him, and motioned him off ; when, on seeing me re s olute in refusing, he gave the gun to his wife, walked a short distance to their camp, and zeturnelintlmost immediately with his bow and ar rows, the wholnof the men doing the same. I gave the word to get into the boati, but do it leisurely, and show them we are ready. Mr. Hooper, two marines, and self, kept a sharp look out, musket in hand, when I ordered the Logan and Supply to shove off, and get into deep water. In the meantime this chief tried hard t) get on the bank, and to windward of us, but I would not allow him •, when the remainder of us made a move to the Louisa, they made a rush for the bank, and, I expect,. hoped to catch us at disad vantage, but we were all in the boat, Mr. Hooper and I with our double barrels at the present, while the men were shoving off and pulling out to the Logan. One fellow had the arrow on the string and bow at full stretch, when, fortunately, I covered him, and he dropped down under the bank immediately. We lost our an chors, otherwise everything was all right. As the wind was too strong to proceed eastward, I tan back to that part of the return reef we had ,pre• viously landed on, and as the Supply was nearly half full of water, I took out of her three cases of pemmican and buried it in the sand; but before I could get masks up, the natives .were after us again, and landed half a mile on the reef to the eastward of us, just as we were shoving off. I now made an attempt to pull up for the pack, distant about two miles from the northern part of the reef, with quantities of drift ice close down on the northern shore—passed through an opening in the reef, and all strung on together to keep close, with two large • omiaks full of men, about 40, rang ing up alongside occasionally, but at a respectable dis tance, apparently watching for an opportunity for at tacks, which I really think they "would have tried, if for one moment.they had seen our eyes off them. We pulled for an hour without making any advance against a heavy sea and strong breeze, and tiring the men to no purpose. I _bore up again for the reef, and landed on its weather shore. Hauled our boats up imme diately, had built a stockade of the drift timber, quantities of which were near at hand, and got all ready for resisting any attack they might make, having landed half a mile to the eastward of us, at the Three men tried to so to the westward, mus ts e a r m i n e g ti i m n e all e l a a b r o g u e t a lo r o t y m d e o n i g ap proach us, but I would not allow it, keeping an armed watch just on the rise of the reef, which they seeing, did not trouble us any more that day, but watch us. At ten A.M. they left us, returning to the main land. It was impossible for us to move with the present weather blowing hard from N.E., with a heavy sea, and the ice driving fast down on the reef, and immense masses one oe assumingoccasio n this all ate io of f the m en came ru n n i ng appearances ; and on to me, and shouting, " A sail, sir, th e r e is the afternoon sorts noon schooner." I looked, and it certainly did look like a vessel, but on examining with the glass, saw directly it was a large berg in the pack. The night before I was deceived in nearly the same way. Passing between the main and Jones's Island under sail, directly we opened the passage between it and the western part of Return Reef, and get sight of the ice, I made certain there was a boat coming down towards us; and so sure was I, that we down sail and pulled directly to windward for a long way, but on a near approach saw that it was only ice. In the evening Mr. Hooper and I visited the spot where we had buried the pemmican and found it untouched. The morning of the 13th was cold and rainy, with wind fresh from north, and very hazy weather, which I determined to take advantage of, and get away from our troublesome friends. At two A.M. we shoved off, leaving a large fire inside our stockade, and pulled directly for the pack, and at 4 A.M. made List to a large berg close to it, and commenced pre paring our breakfast (boiling our kettle with spirits of wine), which we got, shivering with the cold, and almost dripping wet with sea-water and damp fog.' At 8.15 we shoved off from our cold berth and pulled away to the eastward, following close along the pack and passing be tween large bergs with north-east wind, and current setting westward, when at 10 AJI., to our inexpressible joy the wind hauled to westward; made sail, and at half-past twelve landed on the eastern part of Return Reef, about two miles from its extreme point. Large fires soon dried our wet clothes and got us a warm dinner, fitting us again for anything, when, as we were getting our things into the boats, saw two omiaks coming out from under the land, paddle up and land to the west ward of us, jest as we were shoving off, quite bent on doing us mischief if they could ; for every man, forty in number, had his bow and arrows, and directly, as they thought, within distance, fired, two arrows dropping astern, and one ahead. Mr. Hooper and I fired over them, which they returned; we then fired amongst them, but I am happy to say without effect, as just then both parties were out of range, and we saw our balls skip along towards them, nevertheless, it made them drop flat on the ground, and they were evidently frightened. We now made sail, and resumed our course with a fine breeze from the W.N.W., and at half-past twelve at night landed on a low shingly point, two miles to the eastward of Foggy Island, tired and weary after the two days of excitement and continued watching, wet through the greater part of the time, with thermo meter from 25 to 40, considering the latter quite warm. Since leaving the Return Reef we have not seen any ice. The next morning until eight o'clock passed the Lion and Reliance Reefs; and on the morning of the 16th landed on the eastern point of Flaxman's- Island, with the pack about a mile from the seaward shores, but the drift close down. We passed between the island and the main, in a free channel, and 1.15 P.M. landed on the low sandy beach from the eastern part of the island. The ice apparently close down, but on getting on this high part, a passage along shore was distinctly seen, as well as in Camden Bay. At 2.15 P.M., we were again moving, threading our way through the ice; occasionally tracking, where the shoal water allowed us to land. The wind light from the eastward; the main pack from two to three miles off shore, with a great quantity of sailing ice about. At ten we made fast fur the night to a small grounded berg, not able to get on shore, water so shoal, and slept in our boats. Night was now throwing her sable mantle over us, which we all seemed to welcome as an old acquaintance, having for nearly the last two months daylight throughout the 24 hours. The next morning, at four a.m., we found the ice had driven on shore ; perfectly calm and smooth water ; cast off, pulling eastward, landing at five, to get our breakfast, on a small spit, where there was an immense tree amongst the drift timber, perfectly straight, 80 feet in length, and 10 feet in circumference at its base. From 6.30 A.M. up to noon the ice was very thick, when we got into fine open water, and made good pro gress with a light W.S.W. wind, which sprang up just as we got clear, it appearing to have been shut out before by the ice. The main pack was distant about four miles off shore, with very little drift ice visible. At 1 passed a very large camp, but no natives seen, and at 9.15 P.M. landed on the S.W. part of Barter Island, and camped for the night. tt hdc clear,bthic k e minutes n lying The next morning, 18th, starte d w ith w i n d from N.E. , Manning P o i n t, a nd go t a mer idi an altitude and at 11.30 anded on t h e nort h ern part of a small Here I b ur ied cases o f p emm i can , e r e cted a post, with directi ons on i t f or fi n di ng i t; an d at 8 p.m, we again stopped for the night on a small spit off Point Martin , having made but little progress ; th e is l l t a i n tu d d e e a a s n 64 d a t r h d e d o i f p. fog, thermometer d ur i ng t h e d ay f rom 35 to 37. wind against us all day, and strong.

O ur b oats, which h au the south side of the spit, formerly the l ee , now the weather, were shifted round to the northern side, loaded, and at 1.15 A.m. of the 20th we shoved off under low sail, sometimes driving, as it was dark, and fog not cleared entirely; when at 2, broad daylight, made all sail. On the evening of the 21st, at 7.30 P.m., landed for the night on a low shingly beach from one of the islands between Herschel Island and the main, and forming for our boats a good lee, the wind then with a heavy blowing The sea. floes and s a ili ng i ce o the N.W. shores o f H ersc h e l Island, fast aground , g e s i t c r e m h g ere fr i o s m he a t v h ie e r LIZ" an y we have y et seen, lying close up t going fast to the east ward.

We cleared them immediately, and found our instru ments the greatest sufferers, for the bread we had was already saturated, and could receive but little or no additional injury. We turned to with a will, carefully wiped and cleaned all; but I fear the dip circle is injured more than we can remedy, together with my own sex tant. However, at 8 A.m. we were all ready again, and although we have bad such frequent occur rences, no one seemed discouraged, but, like sailors, danger and difficulty over, nothing more is thought of it, and no despairing. Anxious to get on, fearing the ice might block us in where we were now lying, as it was driving fast east ward with the strong north -wester, although a heavy sea on, at 8.30 shoved off under close reefs ; when at 11, we were obliged to seek shelter under the lee of the narrow tongue from the western point of Hers chel Island, which forms with the opposite point on the island a deep bay Here we got oar dinners, after which, finding both wind and sea gone down, I pushed on, going fast eastward with the sailing ice, and all under sail; the Supply doing better alone, but keeping between the Louisa and Logan. On getting clear of Herschel Island we began to feel the heavy rolling see, with no ice in sight, and were again driven to the shore, landing with a good drenching under the lee of a gravel spit, south-east of Calton Point. On these spots we never find water, so are obliged to carry it with us. Immense quantities of wood are always to be had, and our greatest enjoyment and most comfortable time is sitting or standing before immense fires made of this drift.

The spit was of no great size, you might walk round it in five minutes, and just enough elevated in the centre to have our tents and fires in a dry berth ; but to us it was "any port in a storm." I got the dip here, and towards evening the wind was lulling and sea going down, with sky clearing and stars showing, so we hopo for fine weather to-morrow—ther thometer during the day 35 to 38. On tnc, morning of the 23d it was fine, with a mode- rate westerly breeze; and at ten minutes after three A.M. we shoved off and ran away eastward, making good pro gress. At 3.30 P at. rounded Kay's Point, with the wind light, and by 4 quite calm; and we did not reach the mouth of the river until the evening of the 26th, passing betw.en Cape Reef and the main, where we saw the last of the Esquimaux. On the evening of the 27th we entered the river, having been employed all day observing and explor ing our locality ; fur I was doubtful of my position, but perfectly satisfied of my being on a branch of the l'sfackenzie. We did not go far up, for Whale Island is yet to be visited; and I determined to leave the greater part of the party.and Mr. Hooper here, on the left bank two miles from its mouth, and proceeded the next day with one boat and seven men, including myself and ice master, with a week's provisions; most thankful to that blessed Providence who has conducted us thus far in safety. On the morning of the 28th I left the camp, with wind strong from S.W., ran across Shoal Water Bay, and along the north shores of Tent Island, and steered to the N.E., and in the•evening got up to Ellice Island, when we were stopped by strong N.W. winds, and every ap pearance of a change for the worse, fur it was now very cold. During the night it rained hard and blew heavy, clearing up a little in the morning, but wind still the same, dead against ua; so I made up my mind to return, until seven o'clock, with no appearance of change for the] bettir. We shoved off on our way back, and had not made much progress when it came on heavy sleet, fol lowed by hail, and finally snow; piercingly cold continued all day, with but slight intermission; and I can safely say it has been the most miserable day I have had since the commencement of our voyage. At one time it was so thick, and blowing strong, that we could only just see the bank we were close to, under which we stopped for such shelter as it afforded, stamping our feet, and beat ing our hands to get them at all warm, for there was no walking, the dwarf willow too thick to allow of it. At six we reached the camp, and found they were not in a much better condition. Throughout the night we had snow, but the morning of the 30th was fine, although very cold. the thermo meter 32 deg., with a light westerly wind. At 7 A.M. we commenced the ascent of the river by tracking, which was not a very easy job; from the top of bank to water's edge in many places thickly covered with the dwarf willow. On the morning of the sth of September we reached the first of the Hudson's Bay posts, and one of which my orders speak of—namely, on the Peel River; but our getting here was quite accidental, having mistaken the Rat River, not in my chart, for the mouth of the Peel, and turning into it instead of keeping on. Again, not seeing mountains on the left, as in my chart, I was not sure, although very doubtful. The night of the 4th an Indian came to us (one of the Louchoux), and told us the white men were not far off, so 1 determined on going on for the next day at least, until I had got sufficient observations for what I wanted. It was about 10 Lat. when we reached the post, and were kindly welcomed by Mr. Ilardisty, the gentleman in charge, who gave me such good intelli gence of being able to keep a part of our party, that I resolved on leaving five of them and Mr. Hooper here, together with one boat, and the greatest part of the pro vision, with orders to join me in the spring of the year, when the Company's people come on with the returns of the year for shipment for England. I intended pushing on with the rest of the party (seven men) to Point Separation, and the next post cleared the boats, and had the Logan and Supply loaded with 20 days' provisions for eight men, and seven cases of pemmican; and on the afternoon of the 6th, taking one of the Company's men as pilot, w© shoved off, got to Point Separation the next morning, where I found a note in the "cache" from Sir J. Richardson, saying we were to go to Fort Simpson, and winter on the Great Slave Lake. I left three small cases of pemmican nearly equal in weight to his one, a note with an account of our proceedings, and shoved off, crossed to the right bank, and commenced tracking. On the morning of the 11th I found it very necessary I to get rid of one of our boats—namely, the Supply; sorry was I to do it, for I bad hoped to have carried bar on to England as a specimen of the naval architecture of the Western E-quimaux, and for the good service she rendered us. But there was no help for it; she retarded our progress terribly, and was a great weight to the men in tracking, who were now beginning to feel the work, and getting foot-sore and weary, although the strongest of the party. Those I left at Peel River, at least three of them, were in a very weak condition, which was partly my reason, together with Mr. Hardisty's assur ance of there being plenty of provision, for leaving them; at all events, they have at least 50 days' provision of what we had in the boats, besides four small cases of pemmican. After breaking up the Supply, I had the skin out into three pieces (considering it would make good mocassins for the men), and stowed it in the Logan, together with other stoles, which made us very deep, particularly when nine men got into her; but she was lighter on the line, and we were getting on better, when a light breeze sprung up from the south, to which we made sail; and on its increasing took all hands in, and flew along at a rapid rate, but dare not keep any distance off shore, so much sea was there raised by the strong wind against the downward current. As our flour and bread were all out, I opened a case of pemmican as a substitute. On the noon of the 14th we met the Company's boats on their way to the Peel, with their winter supply; and at 6.30 P.M. we arrived at Fors Good Hope. I remained here until Monday morning, getting from Mr. M'Beath, the gentleman in charge, a supply of mocaasins for the men, for the heavy boots were not at all fit for such work as we have to perform; the walrus hide (skin of supply), made up, also a case of pemmican and quantity of dried meat, leaving our boat, the Logan, as she is quite unfit for the work, also all the stores we did not require, bringing off nothing but the two marines' muskets, and taking one of the company's boats Mr. M'Beath had at the station; two men, a Canadian and half-breed, the former steersman, and two Indians to assist in tracking; and good service they rendered us, for we should not have been here yet if they had not been with us, not knowing the river, and particularly the rapids, where we should have been at fault. On Monday, the 24th, the thermometer at 6 was down to 26, with a light easterly air; when at 7.10 A.m. we moved on with the tracking line; and on Sunday, the 23d, at noon, arrived at Fort Norman, got a supply of pemmican, a bag of flour, 301bs. of dried goat's flesh from Mr. M'Kenzie, the gentleman in charge; discharged our two Indians who were to return to Fort Hope; and on Monday, the 24th, pushed on again, greatly missing our two Indiana, who were as sorry to leave as we were to part with them, and reached this place on Wednesday, Oct. 3, at 11 o'clock in the forenoon, most hospitably welcomed by Dr. Rae, Mr. Bell, and Mr. O'Brien; the former the Arctic voyager, and in charge of the post. In conclusion, I beg to assure their Lordships that every endeavour has been made to gain intelligence of our missing countrymen; and it I have at all deviated from my orders it was with a firm conviction that I was doing all for the best. I have had little or no trouble with natives in making them understand what we wanted, even those with whom we had the skirmish were ques tioned on our first meeting, and all that we have met, they have looked at us gravely and with astonishment. Every corner, every part of the coast, has been thoroughly searched, with the exception of the depths of Harrison's Bay, and there I should not think it likely they would go; again, the natives at Point Berens would have known it, had any one been there. The northern shores of Herschel Island I did not visit, as at the time we were there it was blowing hard from N.W. to S.W. ; and oar time was getting very short. All marks on the coast, and many poles have I seen and examined, taking us often very much out of our course, and giving us a wet walk ; in fact, I fear to say, there is but little hope of any news of our gallant countrymen, at least the way we have come ; and none, without Sir James Ross gets any, or they return to England. I have seen no difficulty in a proper ship getting on by the nine route as we have come, and can hardly think there is one deep channel into the Mackenzie, where such a rapid current is met with. Our boats I found very small for the voyage ; if we could have kept the sea at times we should have performed it in half the time. In the river work the men have been greatly at fault, particularly when wo came to the tracking over large stones, our only way of getting on; and we arrived here very weary, the gentlemen and parties at the different posts wondering how we got on, and expressing astonish ment at our small and deeply-laden craft; nevertheless they did do their work well, and I should have much liked to have got them home. I have been obliged to draw largely on the company's stores for clothes for my men; for such a ragged set as we were on arriving I have not for a long time seen. We all started with but little hope of getting thus far, and it was out of the question our taking much, with so much of other stores, and I knew there was not a blanket among the 14. But, thank God, He has been with us, and it is only by his help and assistance we aro here. We are now waiting for the boats from the Great Slave Lake, where the men winter, sod in June next all start for York Factory in tt e Com pany s boats. On my arrival in England I hope to lay before their Lordships a track chart; my journal is full, with all notes and observations I may have obtained on this most interesting expedition. I cannot help recommending Mr. Hooper, acting mate and my second, to their Lord ships' most favourable consideration. He has been active and zealous in the performance of his duty; and all the dip observations along the coast up to the Peel were ob tained by him. I hope their Lordships will not think me presuming in taking the liberty of inclosing with this a letter for my wife, which I beg you will he good enough to have posted. I have, Scc., (Signed) W. J.

Yesterday the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress gave a splendid dinner to the judges. It has been the custom of the chief magistrate to entertain the judges annually in the Long Parlour, but upon the present oc casion it became necessary, on account of the numerous invitations to distinguished persons to meet their Lord ships, to make preparations upon the most splendid scale in the.

Mr. Harper performed as trumpeter on the announce ment of each toast, and Mr. Harker (as a matter of course) was the toastmaster, &c., on the occasion. The musical arrangements were under the direction of Mr. Hobbs, assisted by Miss, Ransford, Miss Messent, Mr. Francis, Mr. Young, Mr. Lockey, Mr. Bradbury, and Mr. J. L. Ration. On the removal of the cloth, the grace from the Laudi Spiriluali was sung. The usual loyal toasts having been drunk with every demonstration of loyal feeling, The LORD MAYOR gave " The health of the Lord Bishop of Worcester and the Church."—(Cheers.) The Bishop of WORCESTER returned thanks for the manner in which the toast had been received, not only as applicable to himself, but to that Church of which he was a member. He was aatisfied,that the prosperity of the State depended on that of the Church. The LORD MAYOR next gave " The Right Hon. the Lord Chief Justice of England and the rest of the Judges of the land." lie was sure that the feeling of the com pany would be that of pleasure in meeting on this occa sion so many of the most distinguished ornaments of the bench of England.—(Applause.) Lord Chief Justice CAMPBELL returned thanks for the honour which had been conferred upon the judges. He felt, however, that no portion of the applause which had been evoked could be applicable to himself, as he had so recently been enrolled on the list of the judges of the land; but through lite he should always follow the example, the bright example, of his brethren on tbo bench; and he was proud to say that that bench was never more highly respectable, or more worthy of imi tation. He assured the Lord Mayor that the judges of the laud were at all times most proud to pay their re spects to the first magistrate of the first city of the world; and they felt that in the good opinion of their fellow-citizens they had their best reward for the labour they had to undergo in the administration of justice. There had long been a cordial good feeling between the judges of the land and the corporation of London, and long might thst good feeling continue. The LORD MAYOR next gave," Lord Brougham and the House of Peers."—(Cheers.) Lord BROUGHAM said he felt highly sensible of the very kind manner in which the company had been pleased to receive the kind mention of his name as connected with that illustrious House of Lords with which his name had been associated. If any thing could add to the pleasure which he felt on such occasions as the present, it was to find himself associated with those who had been his earliest and dearest friends at the bar—with them for upwards of half a century he had been on habits of intimacy. He c aild never feel otherwise than happy when he found himself amongst his fellow citizens in that great city which was the cradle of English liberty, in which English liberty had been nurtured and brought up, and which cradle if the city of London lost she would not follow the hearse of her freedom to the grave, but would be borne forth to be interred along with it. With re gard to the House of Peers, he must say that if that il lustrious House should be uprooted, English liberty would be shaken to its foundation, for he looked upon the House of Peers to be just as essential a prop of English freedom as the Commons House of Parliament itself.—(Great applause.) In conclusion the Noble and Learned Lord gave the health of their host—" The R ight Hon. the Lord Mayor." The LORD MAYOR responded. His LORDSHIP next gave, " Her Majesty's Privy Council." Mr. Baron PARKE responded. The LORD MAYOR gave " The Attorney-General and the Members of the Bar," which was duly acknowledged by the Attorney-General. Several toasts followed, including " The House of Commons," responded to by Mr. Walpole; " Her Ma jesty's Counsel," eloquently acknowledged by Sir F. Kelly ; " The Sergeants-at-Law," coupled with the.nama of Mr. Sergeant Allen, and " The Lord Mayor of York." The Right Hon. the Lord May or Yof _ Y OR K responded —This was the third time that he had enjoyed tno hos pitality of the city of London, and, surrounded as e was by the merchant princes of London, and by the luminaries of the law, to who m he had ever ; "The Lady up with respect, he might w el l be proud of his present position. in return his Lo rdshi p gave he Lady Mayoress." The LORD MAYOR returned thanks, and the majority of the guests then took their departure. TESTIMONIAL TO WILLIAM PAYNE, ESQ , CORONER FOR THE CITY OF LONDON. A deputation from the subscribers to this testimo nial bad the honour of presenting to Mr. Payne, on Monday, a tributary acknowledgment of his imp or t an t serv i c es as a meritorious C iv i c officer, especially i n re viving the ancient public investigations into casual ties of firer. The testimonial consists of a lar ge oval badg e, 3 inches by 2 diameter, and is intended t o be worniis dressjewel, suspended on th e b reast b y a handsome a gold chain round the neck. The centre medal blue enamel, upon which are em b ossed Mr. Payonnel'as arms poper, ornamented and reliev e d by di amon d scrolls and ribbon of brilli an t s , th e h e l met an d crest being of friezed gold, and the latter enriched with diamonds. The border, half an inch in width, con sists of scrolls an d c l usters o f l arge an d small bril liants of the fi nes t water, as lik ew i se t h e l oop f rom which the badge hangs. The effect of the whole is superb in the extreme, and as a new gentleman's presentation badge of honour, will supersede plate or the usually adopted tokens, when these are not deemed appropriate. On the back of the ornament, which is of polished gold, is the following inscription richly engraved : '.Presented to William Payne, Esq., in teqtimody of bis public services as Coroner for London, 1 850 . " The value of the whole is about three hum it d guineas. The testimonial was presented in due form in , anti in accepting it the worthy coroner express&l himself becoming terms. The coroner was al ,o co mpliminite_ . d on the fact that the public mind was being mad) to the nece:sity and imp r t an ee of the investigations in the inquire recent revival of which he had been solely instrum en t a l . The Phceuix Fire-office had in the case of a intothe called th e „ o u r p i go theln oi the fi Coroner re,, ftoFrerfirst inquiry Finsbury to of the made for ventures in that parish—thus acknow ledging the correctness of the adage that " prevention is at sll times better than cure," The general intelligence and personal respectability of your Committee entitles your report to attention. But it will be obvious that that document has no claim to be received as a representation of the senti ments and interests of the commercial classes of this country. The respectability of your customers, and the sta bility of your affairs (as leading mercantile capitalists), exclude you from that very experience of the neces sity of an economical administration of justice, which falls to the lot of those who embark on the perilous speculations of commerce, with less capital, less know ledge, and with less power of choosing the customers they may have to trust. An isolated action in the superior courts may be a trifling experiment to a man of large capital and es tablished connexions, who makes but few bad debts ; but to the retail dealer, whether in London or in the country, it is a poor substitute for courts in which he may enforce debts without r i s ki ng l arge sums, or tying up in litigation a moderate ca pi ta l , of which the free use may be indispensable to the working of his trade. Fair and honourable intentions on your own part blind you to the abuse to which unequal laws are open, in the hands of the unscrupulous and the reckless. You, as plaintiffs, would never employ the terror of litigation, except to bring to reason debtors of bad and unprincipled character. But the low practitioner, the harpy of the law, daily and hourly oppresses by the same means men against whom he has no claim. The occasional advantages (rest or imagin a ry) which may be derived from the superior courts by you who live in London, where those courts have their seat, do not extend to the commercial classes of provincial towns, to whom the expenses, both of the preliminary and final proceedings, of those courts are rendered unendurable by the inevitable necessity of employing attorneys and other agents to act for them in their absence. To the cause last alluded to are traceable the pal. pable fallacies which your report contains, as to the relative expenses of the superior courts on the one hand, and of the county courts on the other. From your comparison on this subject you entirely exclude— First, the costs of a London attorney, which to a country client are inevitably large (owing to corre spondence, &c.), even when an action terminates in one of those earlier stages, of the nature of which your report gives such erroneous conceptions. You exclude also the heavy costs of travelling and loss of time to which a suitor is exposed in all cases in which he has to go far from his own home. In nearly all the actions I have had to try in the county courts, the plaintiff has been able to come from home and return on the day of the court. Most plaintifft—being tradesmen of the town in which my courts are held—commonly are scarcely an hour, often not more than a few minutes, absent from their usual avocations. The mere court fees are a trifling consideration compared to the saving of the incidental expenses of litigation, which local courts effect. The suggestion of your report is, that debtors may be commonly induced to submit, by the dread of costs in the superior courts, sooner and at less ex pense, than by an open trial in the county courts, would, if correct, form no reason in favour of the former mode of bringing pecuniary disputes to a ter mination. Every suitor has a right to a fair and impartial hearing, and any defects in our laws which give an advantage to intimidation and undue inluence, detract from the character of our courts. Bad laws favour the dishonest man, whether plain tiff or defendant. Costs have that tendency. They encourage a dishonest plaintiff to try to terrify a de fendant to pay an extortionate demand, and they equally encourage rogues to rely on the dread with which costs inspire the fair creditor. Mercy to the debtor is vary commonly the beat boon to the creditor himself. Men who would give up in despair, if exposed to the oppressive burthen of the superior courts, are daily and throughout the kingdom clearing off their debts by small payments, a system which I can testify has contributed not merely to advance the ends of justice, but also rapidly to advance the people in prudence and in moral prin ciple. On what ground a distinction has been drawn between debts above and those below 201., I cannot understand. The allowance of instalments may be as necessary to a debtor in the one case as in the other. It is not the amount, but the nature of the debt, and in both cases the means of the debtor that ought to regulate the order made. To creditors a jurisdiction above 201. will be far more beneficial than one confined to 201., because, while the plaintiff will recover a larger amount, the loss of time to himself, and the expense of his wit nesses will commonly not be greater than in cases for smaller sums. The restricted jurisdiction of the County Courts is an injury and an injustice to all classes of the com munity. Were the jurisdiction of the County Courts en larged the costs might be greatly reduced. What would be thought of a railway company that should exclude the higher classes, and try to make its returns by doubling the fares of its Parliamentary train ? By local courts suitors for large sums will gain greater advantages (than the present suitors) for other reasons besides those mentioned above. As they will commonly belong to a higher class in society they will save more in travelling expenses and in time than those to whom those expenses would be lower, and to whom time is of less value. The inconvenience a plaintiff may in a few isolated cases incur, when living at a great distance from the defendant, has been industriously put forward, through the press, as a solid objection to a system which, in 99 cases out of every 100, has brought jus• tice to every man's door. As if either local or assize courts could remove the obstacles of time and space which those who think propsr to trust distant or vagrant customers volun tarily impose on themselves ! Facts will best show the frivolous character of this objection. Plaintiffs and defendants generally . either live in the same district, or they reside within a moderate distance of each other, and the judges of the county courts have commonly given plaintiffs leave to sue in the district in which the cause of action arose. _For these reasons plaintiffs in those courts have nearly always had the choice of the district in which their plaints have been entered. Within my own experience the exceptions have not exceeded a few occasional instances in several thousand plaints. Consistency is not a characteristic o the various objections that have been made to the countycou t r h t a s t , which have been established in accordance with the views of the greatest jurists and law reformers, from Bentham to Lord Broug h am. Th e Attorney-General's unfounded charge, the county courts are plaintiffs' courts, has had n o weight with the country. But that charge (if well your report a is your N founded) is the severest that can be made against an y tribunal ever t f h o e r deciding eas, the betweenk eystone man nf and rian approval of the superior courts, because they enable plaintiffs (at a trifling cost to themselves) to intimi date defendants (by the dread of oppressive and ruin ous cost that s)to tasubymnuitr eitherwithou t p a la t i r n i t a iffs trial. Courts have no claim t o th e c h aracter of courts I remain, dear Si r , w i t h every sentimentor o fd of jurset defendants, icspee.t yours faithfully, A JUDGE OP THE COUNTY COURTS. May 25, 1850.
