FIRST ARRIVALS OF THE " MILLION."—Some ainivement WAS created in the Strand on Saturday afternoon by the appearance of two cabs, very heavily laden with lug gage, stopping at a house which had apartments to let. One of the cabs contained two gentlemen and a young female, all completely envelo , sed in heavy fur s —h ats, caps, coats, boots, all were of fur. A large crowd soon assembled, specu lating as to what part of the world the illustrious furriers had come from. " Cabby," who seemed very proud of his fare, was also quite a 'lion fur the time; but the only iutorma tion he could give was that he " had brought 'um from a furren steamer.' Tau WEATHER.—There has not been so open a winter as the present since that of' 1515. In that year there was neither frost nor snow till March ; and, though there veers a few days of frost about the end of November or part of Decemberlast, it may be said that winter is yet to begin, while nature indicated that spring has actually set in. Gowans and whiny are in bl ossom by the way-sides, and the buds in hedge-rows begin to swell.

CONSERVATIVE DINNER AT COLCHESTER.- Th e anniversary of the return of Lord John Manners for Colches ter wascelebrated en Thursday last, at the Cups Inn in t h at ancient borough, w h e n upwards of 5l)0 of W. constitu ency of the Noble Lord, over whom Mr . W. NS . Hawkins pre sided, sat down to dinner. Hie Lordship, ou his health being drunk, in returning thanks, adverted to the: promi nent subjects about to come on in the Ifooee of Commons. and avowed his intention of supporting the Royal prero gative and the rights of the Established Church against Papal aggression, and of supporting the claims of the agri culturists, whose prospects of relief, he thought, were better than they were some time back. His speech was received with cheers. Tile conviviality of the evening was kept up till e late hour.

As in such dealings the banker must occasionally be disappointed or deceived by the misfortunes or dishonesty of those to whom he lends, he should have money of his own to make good to those who lend to him any such losses. In a course of successful trading these means are acquired or in creased, and become, by gradual accumulations, very large sums, not unfrequently from very small begin nings, as the history of private as well as public banking amply proves. In the case of the private banker these accumulations add to his personal wealth, in the Case of a public bank they become the GUARANTEE OR RESERVE FUND Of the establishment." Influenced by these considerations, the directors are anxious to keep the capital of the bank at the lowest figure " that will not startle the ordinary notions of safety in this matter." But as the law in its present form requires capital in banking, and the public usually imagine some hypothetical proportion between its amount and the extent of business transacted by a bank, " the directors have resolved re issue a limited number of new shares." A pre ference will of course be given to the existing share holders, and as there are few who will not be happy to avail themselves of the opportunity thus afforded, there can be no chubt that the new shares will speedily realise handsome premiums to all who are willing to dispose of stock of so promising a description, or who may feel it inconvenient to make further investments. The newly issued bills, payable to order, which can only be accepted by the Bank of England and the Royal British Bank, are fully and clearly explained, and the advantages thereof, co the customers as well as to the bank, distinctly ihown, and also those of the "loans on convertible stock," and the "cash credits," both matters that have been introduced into England by the Royal British Bank, and which constituted material features in the Scottish system. The whole report kill well repay perusal by all who are so fortunate 48 to obtain copies, and fully establishes the accuracy of our prediction, and the sagacity and prudence of those who embarked in so judicious a specu lation. Although the Chancellor of the Exchequer has given notice that he will bring forward his Budget on the 14th of this month, it by no means follows that the said Budget is as yet definitively compiled ; and remembering that Sir CHARLES WOOD'S determinations are the very opposite of the laws of the Medes and Persians, which change not, we feel it our duty to urge strongly upon all those who desire to see a repeal of the iniquitous window duty not to abate one jot or tittle of their agitation until that odious tax upon the light and air of heaven shall have been repealed. Those journals which are usually considered to be organs of the Ministry have, it is true, insinuated, rather than announced, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer and his colleagues, yielding to the pressure from without, were prepared to consent to a total repeal of this iniquitous disease-bearing impost; it behoves us therefore to keep this pressure up, for if it is in the smallest degree relaxed, the Whig Ministry, which, according to Mr. WaftLny, is always made of squeezable materials, will be subjected to such a pressure from within as will squeeze their good resolutions out of them. The speeches of Lord STANLEr and of the Duke of RICHMOND on Tuesday last, and the motion ,f which Mr. Dlsnlau has given notice for to-morrow, show us the sort of pressure to which the Ministry will be subjected from within. Forced to desist from plundering us by levying, under the false and ridi culous pretence of protecting native industry, a tax upon our bread for the sole and exclusive pur pose, not of ministering to the wants of the State, but of keeping the rent of land up to a war standard, the landocrats now seek to force the Chancellor of the Exchequer to devote the whole of the surplus to the same iniquitous pur pose ; they actually seek to rob the hardworking classes of these realms of the whole amount of that surplus, and to continue upon them the pressure of the window-tax and of all other taxes upon health and upon industry, nominally to relieve what they are pleased to call agricultural distress, but really to keep up the rent of land above its fair market value. Let us for one moment consider what classes of the agricultural interests are at present in a depressed state. Certainly the present condition of the class of agricultural labourers cannot he called depressed as compared with their state in former years ; they are in the majority of instances receiving the same money amount of wages now tha hey received in 1846-47, when wheat was ranging from 803. to 100 s. a quarter, and in cases in which their wages have been somewhat diminished, the purchasing power of those wages has been so much increased, that, generally speaking, the agricultural labourer is in a much better position now than he has been for many years past; neither is he suffering from lack of employment, for the poor-law re:urns show a sensible diminution of pauperism in the agricultural districts in the year 1850, as compared with former years, when the price of wheat was high. That the tenant- farmers are suffering under a temporary depression, the natural consequence of the high prices and tem porary prosperity of 1846 and 1847, is unfortunately too true ; but they themselves have told us that they do not believe that any measure of protection, or any shifting of the burden of taxation, can afford them relief; they look to a readjustment of rent, and to that alone as the remedy. Now, this ques tion of re-adjustment the landoerats endeavour to shirk by every means in their power, albeit, they alone have managed to maintain war prices for their commodity. The fundholder has had his interest diminished from five to three-and a• quarter p"r cent., the prices of all manufactured articles and of all produce has fallen in a similar proportion, yet ti:e landowners, having possessed until within the last few years the monopoly of legislation, as well as of land, have so managed matters as not only to keep up, but to increase the rent of the land, so that actu .. ally, as is proved by the income-tax returns, the income derived from rental of land is at this moment greater by nearly a million and a half than it was in 1816, whilst it is notorious that not one single acre has been added to the superficies of the island. In order to keep up rents at their present extravagant rate, the landocrats will not scruple to urge the continuance of the window-tax, and of every other tax to which they do not contribute their fair proportion ; and will demand that the surplus shall be appropriated nominally to what they call the relief of agricultural depression, but really to the keeping up of their own rents. They are powerful, they are unscrupulous, and in the presence of powerful and unscrupulous opponents it is not safe to relax one jot or tittle of our efforts; we can never venture to do so until the measure repealing the window-tax shall have roceived the Royal assent. We understand that Messrs. Schwepp and Co., of Berners-street, are the successful competitors for the con tract to supply the whole of the refreshments at the Crystal Palace. It will be an arduous undertaking, but we are quite certain, from the well-known enterprising character of the firm, that they will place whatever does i not belong to their own business in such hands as cannot fail to satisfy both the Royal Commissioners and the public generally. Wines and liquors being strictly pro hibited, no parties better qualified could be found, it being their peculiar branch of trade to supply all the light refreshing summer beverages, such as lemonade, and the various aerated waters, and every novelty permitted by the Commissioners, who have fully con• sidered the interest of the public by arranging that none of the refreshments supplied shall be charged higher than at any respectable London establishment.

THE SPEAKER'S LEVEE.—The Right Hon. the Speaker will hold his first levee for the present session on Saturday next, previous to which the Right Hon.

We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and yesterday. Oa Saturday M. PISCATORT read to the Assembly the report of the Committee recommending the rejec tion of the Dotation Bill. The perusal of this impor tant document created the most intense sensation. The following is the report : " A project of law has been submitted to you, tending to open to the Minister of Finance in 1851 an extraordinary credit of 1,800.000 f. for frail de represen • tqtion of the Presidency of the Republic. It that project be adopted, the amount of credits by the state on account of the expenditure of the President of the Republic would reach the sum of 3,425,000f.—name1y. salary, 600,000 f.; Vitas de representation, 600,000 f ; for repairs of the palace, &c bueget of public works, 240,000 f.; for an hotel next the Ely4e, 35,000 f.; a sum ascribed to the President out of the relief fund of the Miniser of the Interior, 150,000 f., which, with the extraordinary credit now demaeded, 1,600,000 f., would make 3,425,000 f. It being the case that a sum of 1.625,000 . is allotted for the expenditure ehich the high station or the first ma gistrate of the Republic may render requisite, the ques :ion which your committee is called on to examine C' , II2PS to this, whether there be a neaessity for that seem being doubled by the addition, too, of a sum which is to bo applied to expenditure of such a nature as to escape all control. Your committee seeing the expo. , l de motifs presented by the Minister of Finance, thought it advisable to invite his attendance, and the Minister did attend the committee, accompanied by his colleagues of the Interior, of Justice, and of Public Works. To the questions addressed to them, the Ministers gave, by way of reply, a reference to the expo 4 de motifs pre sented with the bill of June, 1850. It being observed to the Ministers that the credit had at that time been pre sented as a supplementary credit, although subsequently voted in compliance with the request of the Government as an extraordinary credit, Ministers yet insisted on the identity of motives, and persisted in saying that the credit was extraordinary and annual, and was intended to provide for the exigencies to which the President was exposed; that although extraordinary it should be an nually required, in order to put the President of the Re. public, whoever he might be, in a condition to represent in a becoming manner the country of which he was the first magistrate. After hearing these explanations, the committee examined with the most scrupulous attention a demand which, under present circumstances, has assumed the importance of a political question of the highest or der. In fact, it cannot be denied that it involves the na ture and situation of the Executive Power in the repre sentation of the influence which this power has for some time exercised; that it concerns the actual relations of the two constitutional powers; and that, in fine, it bears upon the manner in which will have to be solved those grave questions which, according to the terms of the fundamental law, France will be called upon to answer at no distant period. Aster having considered the question under every point of view, your committee resolved, by a majority of 13 votes to 2, that it would propose to you the rejection of this project of law. We owe it to you to give the reasons which have been ex pressed at one side and the other. The minority of two urged that the objections derived from the spirit of the Constitution had been offered at the time of the discus sion of the credit presented the 24th June, 1850. The Assembly had listened to these objections, and had, nevertheless, decided that the President ought lo be placed in a situation in harmony with the relations and manners of a great nation, and was, moreover, impelled by a desire to maintain the union of the two powers as the only way to save the country. The same reasons of policy and of haute convenance applied, they said, with equal force to the present Bill; and the question they asked was, should such reasons be overruled by the susceptibilities and fears that had been expressed in recent debates ? The Assembly had, under the influence of an act of unquestionable im portance, signified its distrust in the Ministry, and the chief of the executive power, rendering homage, without doubt, to the right of control exercised by the Assembly, had separated himself from his Ministry. To refuse now the required credit would be to countenance, perhaps renew, in the eye s of th e country a conflict which me naces to compromise for ever the union of the two powers, and the minority of the Committee could not, they said, incur the responsibility of the consequences of such refusal. The majority, on the other hand, did not think there was a just appreciation of facts and law. Several members, in the first place, wished to know the constitutional ground of the required credit; they 'reined to mind the 62d article of the Constitution, which fixes the salary of the President at 600.000 f., and al though the preamble of the Constitution did open an interpretation that appeared subsequently to autho rise a new credit of 1100,000 f. for cost of re presentation, yet a reference to the debates on the subject would show that that credit was not the less unconstitutional. The demand now made in the shape of an extraordinary credit was contrary to the letter and spirit of the 62d article of the Constitution. Not withstanding the gravity of this opinion, your committee has thought that by the vote of last year the Assembly, without meaning to create a precedent, did think that there were special and accidental circumstances which might have justified an extraordinary increase of the credits allowed to the President, provided that it should not be taken to have fur effect to alter the character of the high functions to which it had been allocated. Your committee are equally of opinion that the extraordinary circumstances appealed to last year no longer exist, and that if miscalculations had been made relative to the ex penses caused by the first establishment, the prudent equity of the Assembly had relieved the future from all claim on their account. Can it be said that the sums attributed to the President of the Re public are below the requirements of the dignity of a grand p3wei ? The committee cannot think so, for, in its opi nion, the ordinary oredits do largely suffice to assure the President a subsistence equal to hie rank, and beyond all proportion with any other position in French society. The state of manners and of fortunes in our country do not exact more, and you cannot give more without de parting from the legitimate conditions of the lofty func tions that you wish to maintain and not to aggrandise.— (Cheers.) The Presidency is not a Royalty, which does not possess anything but which ought to return to the state; and the representation of the Presidency is, like his own position, personal and temporary. True it is that, during his administration, he ought to be, in ap pearance as in authority, the first of magistrates and of citizens; but nothing more. Ile is not the chief of the state—he is the chief of the executive power. These con siderations did not escape you when you had to delibe rate upon an analogous demand. Such considerations did certainly give rise to many hesitations, but the majority, taking into account momenteus circumstances, and without hiding from themselves the danger of, to a certain ex tent, affecting the institution by exaggerating the condi tions of representation, did yet hope that such danger would not be realised, if the wisdom of the executive power would only respond to the benevolence shown to wards it. The majority, did, in fine, make sacrifice of its doubts and inquietudea, to the great interest of har mony between the powers. It was not ignorant that the credits demanded were means of influence which it could not demand an account of, and which might become po litical instruments. But it indulged the expectation shat the policy to be followed would be in conformity with that of the Assembly; and it recalled to mind the many occasions on which the conduct of the exe cutive was all that it had a right to expect. This con fidence, we say with regret, has not been responded to; and the Assembly, justly alarmed, ought not any longer to remain silent. The day when order and har mony appeared compromised it warned the executive power of danger, in the sense spirit which induced it to accord, without reserve, all the means of action required at its hands. You do not think of despairing of con ciliation, for which reason we refrain from recalling irritating souvenirs. But does not such a situation call for a line of conduct upi,n the part of the Assembly such as none can mistake? This situation, we believe, does disquiet all parties of this Assembly. No one can without pain see compromised a salutary alliance that has saved public order and given to Fiance a Govern ment. These regrets have been already in different Ways expressed. The majority in the committee, without dis guising the gravity of the resolution it proposes, has yet thought that a want of sincerity and firmness on the part of the Assembly would enfeeble the legislative power in the esteem of the country, and might tend to mislead the executive. We accordingly, by 13 to 2, propose the rejection of the project." At the conclusion several voices demanded that the discussion should be fixed for Monday. M. DUPIN said—et We must have time to print and distribute the rep ort. " Voices still s h out i ng for Mon d ay , M. L EON FAucHEIt demanded that the discussion should, in accordance with all precedent, be put off till Tuesday, and begged the Assembly to consider that the more its opinion was already made up, the more it was im portant not to precipitate results, especially by break ng through precedents. i The Assembly was consulted by "Assie and Levi*" twice, but each time the result was doubtful.

WAIssE, the Ilinister of the Interior, declared to the Committee of Parliamentary Initiative on Saturday, that in the opinion of the Ministry the electoral law of the 31st of May applied not only to the elections of the representatives but of the Pausi- DENT also. GERMANY. M. GERMINT, the Finance Minister, has been elected a director of the Bank of France. The National has the following:— " Some representatives joke with General Cavaignac upon the intention imputed to him of supporting the candidature of the Prince de Joinville in 1852. Does that astonish you?' Lnswered the Eon. General. Why it has been equally pretenciA that I am pledged to sup port the candidature of M. Louis Bonaparte. You will hear one day that I have become one of the courtiers of the Comte de Chambord. DJ as I do; laugh at all these miserable inventions. They do not merit any other reply:" Accounts from Berlin of the 7th state that the Prussian Government has demanded from the Swiss Federation the restitution of Neufchatel, and the ex pulsion of political ;offenders from Switzerland, and that measures will be adopted to enforce these de mands should the necessity for their adoption arise. Prussia will, it is said, protest against the military convention between Austria and Hesse. Accounts from Vienna of the 34 state that the re tirement of Count THUN from the Ministry is proble matical. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES: The Hamburgh Borsenhalle his the following : " The Austrian General Von Legeditch will remove his head quarters from Hamburgh to Altona in the course of a faw days. " Two Russian battalions are expected here to morrow, en route to Rendsburg, which they are to g arrison. A rumour was in circulation on Ssturday that a LAMARTINE BILLAULT Ministry had been formed ; the rumour is, to say the least, premature. Admiral DE LA SUSSE is appointed Vice-President of the Admiralty Board, in place of Admiral HUGON, admitted to retirement. The Five per Cents. were done to•day on the Boulevard at 96f, Sic. " The Danish prisoners arrived at Sdileswig and Gottorp on the Ist; they were very hospitably received. They are 550 i❑ number. " There is to be a steam communication between England and Lilmfjord. The steamer, which is of 120- horse power, is commanded by Captain Sodling, and will commence running early in the spring." Prussia opposes the occupation of Rendsburg by Danish troops. HOLLAND. THE HAGUE, FEB. B.—A project of law has just been distributed among the members of both Cham bers, for modifying the tariffs in the Netherlands East Indies. It proposes to reduce to 6 per cent. the impost duty on all agricultural implements and machines, on mining instruments and machinery of all sorts. Netherland vessels, bearing a certificate of the Netherlands origin of the articles imported, shall pay no duty. To this project is added a document empowering all the Dutch settled in the East Indies to work those lands which contain rich minerals, except in the island of Java and Bores. The document referred to gis es it as the opinion of competent judges that greater encouragement should be given to the exploring of rich mineral soils, both to private individuals and to public companies. A commission, composed of competent persons, has been consulted on the question as to whether it would be advisable to permit private individuals to work the tin mines of Bored and in general the other mines of the Netherlands Indies. The commission considered it advisable that pri vate persons should take part in the working of the mines, but in regard to the mines of Burea opinions were divided. The Government accordingly took the opinion of those who considered that the Government should retain the working of these mines, the product of which forma a very important quuta of the annual contributions sent by the colony to the mother country. The treaty of commerce and navigation between the Netherlands and Prussia is now so far complete in its preliminary proposals, that it is ready to be submitted to the Congress of the Zollverein at Wisbaden. GREECE. Athens journals to the 29ch ult. have arrived. The Courier d'Athenes has the following : " The prolonged absence of the KING, the absolute ignorance which exists as to the real motive of it, the uncertainty of the period of his return, and the situa tion of the country, which becomes more and more critical, fill every one with uneasiness. It may be remembered, that when the Ministers presented the Bill on the Regency, they stated, as the reason of the departure of the KING, the necessity of re-establishing his health, which was sensibly impaired, and the natural desire of again seeing his parents, from whom he had been so long separated. This twofold object has been long since fulfilled, and yet the KING does not think of returning. It may be readily imagined that, in the midst of this obscurity and uncertainty, every one gives the reins to his imagination on the subject. For our own parts, we confine ourselves to saying that, for the moment, nothing has trans pired, and that all the reports in circulation are un founded."

THE FALKIRK ELECTION. —The writ for supplying the vacancy created in the Falkirk district of burghs by the elevation of Lord Lincoln to the peerage has been received, and the Sheriff has fixed Tuesday for the nomination, Thurs day for the p Ming, and Friday for the declaration. Mr. Baird and Mr. Loch are making strenuous exertions in all the burghs, and it is doubtful, as yet, who will be the successful candidate, An opinion prevails, however, that the great local influence of Mr. Baird renders his chance the best. SHIPWRECK IN THE BRISTOL CHANNEL,..-00 Thursday last a small coasting vessel, the William Sydney, belonging to Messrs. Trotter and Co., of Gloucester, was on her voyage from that city to Chepstow, and had arrived about half-way between Sharpness Point and Beacnley, when she encountered a sudden squall which caused the vessel to cap size, and she immediately went down in deep water. The grew consisting of George Goulding (master), John Browne, and John Edwards--were all drowned; each man leaves a wife and family behind him. The vessel is irrecoverable, as even at low tide she lies in twelve feet water. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS AT LEAMINGTON SPA, Lady Emma Petre and the Hon. A.

EXPRESS EDITIONS ON ALL IMPORTANT OCCASIONS. Orders received by all News-agents, and at the Sun Office, 112, Strand. Sun Office, 112, Strand, JANUARY, 1851. TEN POUNDS REWARD. The Sun newspaper (especially The Third and Express Editions) is so frequently stolen in passing through the Post-office, to the great annoyance of our disappointed subscribers, that we hereby offer a reward of Ten Pounds for the discovery of every party so offending, and we promise to prosecute the individuals to a conviction, regardless of expense. The offence is a felony. The paper is more frequently stolen in times of excitement than on ordinary occasions, which makes the grievance the greater.

By some the project was regarded as a bold experiment, which might, in deed, succeed, but the results whereof were, to say the least, very problematical. We, however, enter tained no such doubts. Convinced of the soundness of the principles on which it was based, well aware of the characters of the men who came forward as directors and managers of the new undertaking, and knowing that the important and onerous duties con fided to their charge would be performed with ability, fidelity, and seal, we unhesitatingly predicted a long and prosperous career for the new bank. We knew that the system had flourished during a long course of years in the sister kingdom—that it had at various times been subjected to the most stringent tests—had passed through the most severe ordeals, and that on every occasion it had passed triumphantly through:its many trials. It bad been weighed in the balance, and not found wanting. It had proved alike profitable to the shareholders and beneficial to the community in general. The former had received handsome dividends on the amount o f their investments, while many an energetic young man, who had no capital but his well-known probity and industry, owed his welfare and prosperity in lile to the judicious accommodation afforded by the various banks ; the real value of a "good name, " pure, and without reproach, was thus exemplified. It might prove the foundation of future fortune, and was therefore a treasure highly prized and not willingly relinquished. It is well known that many of the most wealthy.capatilists, who stood shoulder to shoulder and supported the Scottish banks against every pressure, were persons who had previously received assistance from these estab lishments, and who thus simultaneously testified their gratitude for former favours, and their unwavering confidence in the solvency and stability of those who had been their early benefactors. The simple fact, that during the last century and a half, the community in general had not lost more than twenty-six thou sands of pounds, by all the banks that failed north of the Tweed, while during the first half of the present century more than twenty-six millions had been lost by such failure south of the border, afforded the most power ful argument in favour of the system that produced such auspicious results ; and if " the fundamental principles of trade and banking, as a branch of it, are and must be the same everywhere, that men in all countries are essentially alike, and that there are no con trarieties or even substantial dissimilarities between the essentials which should regulate trade and influence the people in the southern, as compared with the northern part of the island," we might reasonably conclude with the directors that the " principles and mode of giving effect to them practically, which have proved bound and beneficial in one portion of the kingdom, could hardly, if fairly tried, fail of success:in the other." Well, the system has been tried under a southern meridian. It has been brought into practical opera tion for something more than a year, and the favour able anticipations in which we indulged have been completely fulfilled. Our sanguine vaticinations have been more than verified. The report presented by the Court of Directors to the proprietors, at the general meeting held on Friday, at the hank premises, Strand branch, showed an amount of progress more than could reasonably have been expected, and, indeed, almost unprecedented. Any person embarking in businers calculates, as a matter of course, on some degree of loss the first year ; he is well contented if his profits are equivalent to his expenses during the second year ; and it is not until the third year that be ventures to look for an in come from his exertions. Now the Royal British Bank appears to have passed this probationary period per ealtum, and to have already attained a position which many men are well satisfied to achieve after years of arduous and unremitting labour. A dividend after the rate of 4/. per cent. per annum, free of income-tax, has been declared for the half-year ending the 31st of December. But this dividend, although extremely handsome from an establishment but a single year in existence, shows but a small portion of what has actually been done. The actual profits have been, not 4 but 14 per cent. during that period, for there has been gained not only the 2,0001. appropriated to dividends, but 2,0001. applied as the first contribution to a reserved fund, or rest, and 3,0971. 1.55. 7d. still unappropriated. This is, indeed, astonishing good fortune, and might be doubted but for the distinct and positive proof ad duced by the directors. There is no concealment. The state of affairs is set forth with the utmost can dour. There is no concealment, for there is nothing to be dreaded from publicity, which is courted to the fullest extent. The directors not only show us the flourishing state of their accounts, but they explain the principles on which they have acted, and assign the most convincing and satisfactory reasons for every step they have taken. There may be what in this latitude will be considered as novelties, but which' both in theory and practice will bear the strictest examination, the most searching investigation, and scrutiny. The report itself is a masterpiece in its way ; it evinces a thorough acquaintance with banking prin- cipies, and shows where a discreet and prudent ex tension of the practice heretofore carried on in this country may be beneficial to bankers and customers, whose interests are really one and indivisible, and who will find their best account in mutually supporting each other. It clears away the mists that have formerly prevailed on the subject and removes ancient prejudices. It explains the misapprehensions that have existed on the subject of " capital," and shows the wide distinction between the same word ap plied to banking and to commerce. In commerce, "capital is necessary to enable the merchant and trader to purchase the commodity in which he deals." in banking, " the commodity dealt in is that whereof apiconsists, and it i s not purchused, but rec e i ved in trust, tist, and for safe custody and for hire, or not, according to the terms (;n which the bank transacts its business, but always to be lent out by I StiA.lth' Aberdeen • .. • • • • Do.
