Casey, with Lieut. F. Ley and Lieut.. H." C. Bowker, arrived at head-quarters, Chatham, from the Woolwich Division. A draught of the Royal Marine Artillery, consisting of 20 non-com missioned officers and men, al• o arrived at Chat ham from Portsmouth for embarkation. ALDBOROUGH, SUFFOLK, NOV. 23.—A vessel was sighted last week, about 7 o'clock in the morning, at some distance from the slure by the coxswain of the life-b oa t o f th e Ro ya l National Life-boat Institution, stationed at Aldborotigh, on the Suf folk coast, running under two topsails and a fore sail, with the Union flag downwards-in her rigging, and made fast. Upon this the second coxswain was summoned and a Mortar fired, as 'a signal of a ship in distress, to muster the rest of the life boat's crew. This having bsen accomplished the life-boat was soon afloat. The wind was blowing at the time from the E. by S. and the sea was very heavy, and had the warp for hauling the life-boat off not been out, it would have been impossible for the boat to have been launched ; but, as the coxswain and crew expressed it, the warp did them good service, as the shoals were breaking heavily. They the I sailed, and rowed a distance of 12 miles, when the life-boat approached the yea el in distress, which proved to be the Eliza, of South Shields. The life boat' s crew f oun d th a t she had been previously boarded by five men belonging to a fishing boat of Aldborough. On going alongside the life-boat's crew were dismissed by the master of 'the vessel, although it was evident that the brig was in a dan gerous state, having a considerable quantity of water in her hold, and only one pump to make use of. The coxswain and crew deserve much credit for launching their life-boat under the circum stances, for no other class of boat. could have dared to leave the shore, and although their services were despised, their object Was the same—the saving of the crew of the vessel, by bringing them :to shore if necessary, or of assisting to bring them and their vessel into port by working the pumps. Thus it not unfrequently happens that,- after a life-boat and her gallant crew have made every effort to reaoh the disabled ship, the boat's services are insolently de clined. The crew, however, are. always sure to receive their well-earned gratuity for their laudable exertions from the Royal National Life•boat'lnsti tution. Most of the journals contain remarks upon the political programme of the new Belgian ministry. The Constitution/11d says : (From the Times .) oinj Another large provinci a l • t-stook bank h as stopped. The draughts of the Northumberland and Durham District Bank were returned this morning by their London agents, an application to the Bank of England for assistance on behalf of the establishment having been yesterday' declined. Their paid-up capi'al is 652,8911., and there was professedly a reserve fund of 90,874/. Tho liabli ties are thought to be very great—probably not much less than three millionsand the general opinion as to the character of their assets is far from favourable. They are understood to have made enormous advances on colliers and ironworks, and at the' time of the failure of Messrs. Carr Brothers'at Newcastle in August last for 720,0001. they appeared as large creditors on that estate, the claim being secured by a mortgage °intensive coal mines. The head office is 'at Newaastle, and there are branches at Alnwick, Berwick, Hexham, Morpeth, North and South Shielde, Sunderland and Durham. The concern has been in existence 21 years, and. at the date of the last return the number of shareholders was 408. Terrible distress is likely to be felt throughout the entire district . .and among all classes. The average weekly amount paid for wages alone through this bank is stated to have been about 35,0001., and it is feared that by the catastrophe several thousand persons will be thrown out of work. The Bank of England have a branch at Newcastle, and every effort wilt be made by them, and also by other institutions, to mitigate the evil in this respect as far as possible. The bank was fermerly a bank of _issue, br* of late it has adopted the circulation of the Ban of England. In London this morning the suspension was an nounced of Messrs. Rehder and Boldemann, a young but respectable house in the Garman trade. It is thought their liabilities may be about 100;000/. Annexed is the circular issued : "If we may accept as capable of realisation all the promises contained in M. Rogier's ministerial circular, there is reason to hope that the crisis which commenced six months ago has entered into a phase of amelioration. The document appears to have been dictated by a spilit of great moderation, inch as befits a party in the moment of success. Doubtless, the Belgian people will feel that this moderation should be the guide for ite acts also, and that the electoral urn of Dec. 10 stands too near the throne to be made a rendezvous for fresh •dissensiobs. When all parties in• a country are alike animated with a_ desire to uphold its institutions, to maintain order, and defend the rights of authority, -we do not admit that any party can with propriety be said to be con quered. It is only sects who take advantage of a crisis to conspire on behalf of anarchy and disorder that we would desire to describe as. conquered. The men who hate just descended from power cannot then see ene mies in those who have succeeded them in the direction of affairs, and although _their opinions may diff.tr they are at least united on the common ground of respect for the principle of authority. With regard to the foreign re lations of Belgium, we can have no hesitation in giving credit to the desire expressed by M. Rogier to acquire' fresh titles to the esteem of Europe. The late ministry always felt the necessity of keeping z up relations with France on the footing of a frank and sincere reciprocity ; in so doing it acted in accordance with the unanimous sentiments of the country. These sentiments have not. changed, and the new cabinet will, we hope, share them. We shall not look back'to past times, and attach to cer fain names a significance which circumstances most have modified ' • we desire to take men for what they are to day, and for what they now wish to be. A cordial un daistanding between France ant Belgium is a li/oral eni political necessity." We read in the Patric:— the pressure for money during the week; for the Bank, in order to obtain notes, sold stock to the enormous amount of 3,000,0001. The private secu rities consequently show a heavy increase, having reachedthe totally unPrecedented aggrecrate of more than 30,000,000 i. From the amount added to the private deposits, it is evident that bankers and others borrowed morn money than their wants absolutely required. It is • not often, when the money market is active and high rates can be obtained for the temporary use of capital, that so large a sum as nearly 14,000,0001. is allowed to re main unproductive in the hatids of the Bank. The bullion was reduced to 6,484,000!., _being nearly 2,000,000/. under the lowest point durina the panic in Oct., 1847. , It thus evident that the Govern- Merit assistance came, as we feared, too late to be of any effectual service, and additional force is thus given to' our assertion, that the constitution. of that establishment is not suitable to the present expanded state of commerce. Although, as we have before stated, we have little hope of seeing either the Par liament or Government sanctioning any other sys tem of banking than that sanctioned by the Bank Act of 1844, with some modifications, we confess that the more we consider this great question, we fail to see any permanent safety to the country in any other system than that of the establishment of a National Bank, under the control of Parliament, ' to which alone the issue of notes, based upon their. immediate convertibility, should be permitted. - Re duce the bulking systnn .to thiN, and permit the unreatrieted..e4stablialnitent of banks-of deposit and= discount throughout the country, and we will have a machinery which can never be found wanting in the time of prelsoze: - _ ri‘l R.

This National Bank ought not to be-permitted to discount, and should 13F. obliged to issue notes of all denquainations, not smaller than 1/. to whatever ex tent the wants of the country may require bearing the Government stamp upon them and passing as a legal tender throughout the United Kingdom, except at . the bank itself. All other banks requirin g these notes should b e supplied with them, on their depositing at least one-third in gold and the other two-thirds in securities immediately convertible, for which a cer tain rate of interest should be • allowed. By this means an enormous amount of gold would be placed at the disposal of Government, to meet any de- Mands that commerce, either at borne or abroad, might have upon it. Under such a system as this, we would get rid of the present very unsound prin ciple of permitting the e-tablishment of banks, having nominal capitals of large amount, but with only about one-fourth of that capital actually paid up. In other words, we would get rid of a system which permits of a banking circulation having thrc• fourth of its amount unrepresented by real capital. It may be argued that, in such an important commercial country as this, such a system as we now propose would be found inadequate, as the solid capital it would require could not be corn mended ; but a moment's reflection must convince the intelligent reader that such a notion is without any foundation, as the wealth of these_kingdoms is unbounded, and it will not fail to be brought out when sufficient inducements appear for its employ ment.

Th's Francis Tomlins was the son of William Tomlins, a coach builder, and in' the early part of the year 1829, being then in the 19th year of his age, was. residing with his parents in Brunswick street, Hackney-road. Middlesex, London.. In the same year he left London in the " Wanstead," mer:hant vessel, for Swan River, to fulfil an engagement he hecrentered into iv th a Colonel Lat9nr, wlto had a large tract of land at Swan River. The " Wanstead" arrived at the Swan River in December, 1829, and the sad Francis Tomlins landed and remain , d there. His father received a letter from him, dated from Swan River, shortly afterwards, and again in 1836 received another letter from him, dated from Hobart Town, and nothing has heen heard of him since.

In presenting Mr. , Sopwith to his degree, the Professor of Mathematics referred to the success with which Mr. Sopwith had applied his great prac tical talents to the advancement of science. He in stanced, in particular, the manner in which Mr. Sopwith has illustrated geological phenomena by the construction of models, conveying at once and perfec ly to the eye that which could with difficulty, and but partially be accomplished by means of plans and sections. This system is not to be regarded merely as an ingenious philosophical curiosity, for it has been made the means of giving to the govern ment and to the country the most perfect geological representation of the Forest of Dean. Mr. Sopwith had also availed himself of the important position which his abilities have secured for him to commu nicate to many of the - intelligent working classes a knowledge of sound principles: and exerted himself with great energy and success in promoting educa tion among the populous mining districts which he superintended. The Rev. Alfred James, M.A., was nominated by the Warden on behalf of the Fellows, and ap proved by the ilouse, to be a Member of Sena' e.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from.certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in. Man hood, and prenuiture decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their phys cal condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to wiiich every human bbing is .ntitleu. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are 1 rinciples of personal management which cannot be violated with tut ircurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc ceed the heyday Of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties luny be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its coniiequences may be avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional 4 ecangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

SINGULAR DEATII.—A. most remarkable instance of fatality occurred. near Pareebourne on Friday. About mid-day police-con-table Trump, Berke constabulary, saw a sturdy-looking man begging from house to leowse in the village, and ordered him to desist. The wan pur sued his occupation until he came to some cottages near the sixth milestone, under Shooter'e-hill, when, upon the police-constable's further interference, and threaten- ing to take him into cu , tody, the fellow swore that he would show him what an Irishman could do, and struck him violently in the face. A scuffle ensued, in which both went to the ground, and blows were exchanged. At length the policeman found he was getting exhausted, the Irishman seizing him tightly by the coder, and threatening to use his knife. Trump hereupon loosened his hold, and the man immediately slipped away from his grasp, - and, rushing down to the Thames, which flows close by'the road, plunged into the water: He swam with all the ease of a water-spaniel, a n d st ruc k ou t for the Oxfordshire side, looting back occasionally at his h4tled captor with a kind of defiant or scornful gesture. Trump shouted to two men at work on the Oxfordshire side teesecure the fugitive, and hastened away for a boat at hand. ' Ile obtained assistance, and was proceeding across, when the two men shouted that the man was drowned, sod cooly waltced off as if no - thing had hap pened. Upon police-constable Trump arriving at the bank he found that the poor wretch had sunk within a" very few yards of the shore, evidently from a sodden_ atteck of cramp. In a very brief time the body was res cued from the water, hut life was extinct. Upon the dead man were found a pocket-knife and a few coppers. —Berkshire Chronicle.

William Osborne, son of Lord Godolphin, was yesterday brought before the mayor and borough magistrates at Cambridge on a charge of assaulting Robert Boning, a " bulldog," or proctor's man, during the late disturbances in the town. A great number 'both of townspeople . and members of the , University era present. The charge was that when Boning had, by the proctor's orders, taken into custody a girl of light character, Mr. Oaborne collared him, and, being assisted by the mob, rescued the girl and went off with her on his arm. In defence, it was urged that the girl was living under Mr. Osborne's protection ; that the latter stepped into a shop to make a purchase, and, On coming out found the girl in custody, whereupon he remonstrated with the proctor, and, as his remon strarce was not attended to, was provoked to the assault c omp l ained of. The bench sentenced Mr. Osborne t o pay a fine of 205., or be imprisoned for seven days, In Sect.

TRH EXPLOSION T 1114YENCE. The German o journals contain the following addi- tional details n the late explosion at Mentz : " Thousands of foreigners to witness the ravages in have flocked to the' city es caused by the late traee. dons explosion. of sutlb)secri om m itt c es have been formed to collect ptions for the relief of the families killed and wounded. The number of houses completely destroyed amounts to 57, an d o f thosehowever more or less damaged, scarcely a house in the city that has not suffered some injury. All the magnificent colouredglass windows of the cathedral and of the church of St. Quentin are destroyed. The number of dead, as yet knawn, amounts to 1 7 civilians and 14 Prussian soldiers. The loss among the Austrian troops no t yet ascertained, - and there is no doubt but is that other bodies are still lying beneath th e soldiers wounded i or ruins. The number of Prussian s between 80 and 90 . The civi lians wounded' mutilated are counted by hun dreds. A soldi er i being told of the n gar r ison at Darmstadt, on explosion, hastened to Mentz and found all his family dead. d One young man got out from under the ru i t i ds the body of his father and his two brothers. I n a diti.m to the 200 quintals of powder which were iu the magazine, there were also in the budding Fortunately,"° charged shells and 240 fire these latter all burnt out on the spot, for had they bee n throWn by the explo sion on the city, th e whole place might have been set tire to. The corps of Austrian officers, 200 in n umber, had announced a carousel which was to near have taken placethe magazine about the very time that the explosion took place, but happily the of un favourable statethe weather had caused the fete to ho postponed." The Mentz Gazette of the 20th says :—"ThePrus sian sentinel who was relieved just before the ex plosion saw an Austrian military rocket enter the magazine, and did not se e him come out. It is, in fact, the Austrians who were charged with the care of the magazine, and kept the keys, the Prussian soldiers only mountin.o. guard. Yesterday there were found among the ruins of a house the lock of the magazine, with the key still remaining in it. It is, therefore, be y ond doubt that some one was in the magazine at the time of the explosion ; but as the Austrian colonel of artillery positively declares do in that no one ha d an y thin g to the place, the man must have gone i n wi thout an yi egitirnate mo tive. It has been ascertained that a man belonging to the Austrian rocket bri g ade, named Wimmer, has been missing since the eve nt ." A letter from Munich, of the 20th, says that the King of Bavaria, on hearin g o f the catastophe at Mentz, g ave orders that the large stores der collected at Gru nwald sho uld be ores of gunpow immediately divided amongst d ifferent p laces, and in consequence portions of it were at once des patched to Ingold stadt and Mgeldorff. The quantity collected at Grunwald was estimated at 2,000 quintals. THE SURVEY OF THE ITALIAN COAST.—The hydrogra phical survey of the coasts of Italy, which the French government is causing to be made, commenced this year in April, being ear lier than usual ; and by the end of June, in spite of unfavourable weather, the coast be tween the mouth of the Tiber and Mount Circello was surveyed. In July, surveys were made of the coasts of the Gulf of Naples from the environs of Portici to Cape including the Isle of Capri.

It would appear, according to the Belgian Ministers, that 4 the integrity of the rights of the State and the independence of the civil power' are privileges of modern societies to which ancient societies had no pretensions. Bet against whom has the new Cabinet a mission to defend this integrity and this independence 1 The recent discuFs'ons which have to greatly moved the country,' reply sufficiently to this question. It is clear, of course, that the Catholics are attempting to reduce the State to servitude, and that but for the advent to power of M. Rogier and his col leagues, Belgium would have fallen under the yeke of the Jesuits. You a ill suppose, then, that the new Cabinet is to make war upon religion ? Oh dear no ! It is on the contrary full of love and respect for religion. It is the Catholics only that cause contention. Stich is the manifesto of the liberal ministry. It may be de scribed in two words calumny and hypoctisY.' The Union, expresses itself thus " This document is certainly not wanting in ability ; but we could have desired to see greater perspicuity and precision, and—why should we hesitate to say it ? more frankness. M. Rogier has displayed remarkable dexterity in the use of language. We should have been better pleased for our parts to see greater openness of heart. We should find it very difficult to say in what respect the policy of the new cabinet will differ from that of its predecessors, if it is to be, according to. an expression in the circular; a policy of conservatism and order ; in that case we are utterly at a loss to under stand all that has taken place in Belgium ever since the emeute of Brussels." The Spectateur speaks ag follows of the appoint ment of M. Chaix-d'Est-Ango to the post of Pro cureur-Genoral to the Imperial Court of Paris : " M. Ciiaix-d'Est-A.nges nomination has been hailed at the Petals with the greatest satisfaction. This dis tinguished -man was called to the bar at a very early age, acd speedily acquired for himself a brilliant position ; be was equally esteemed and beloved both by the bar and the bench ; it was a pleasure to the judges to try any cause in which be was engaged. He was never ham pered by any party engagements, and while standing aloof from political 'struggles he remained constantly faithful to ideas of order, and know how under all cir cumstances to thaintai., the independence necessary to his noble profession. We cannot forget that on two or three occasions, when the Assemblee Nationale was pro secuted, it found in M. Chaix-d'Est•Ange a zealous and eloquent defender, and although he did not share our political opinions, we could always confidently entrust our cause to him. It is not for us either to praise or blame the acts of the Government, but we have sincere pleasure in recording the way in which this appointment has been received by the public. The Gazette des Tribunaux thud expresses itself on the subject : "We have no need to say with what satisfaction and sympathy this nomination has been received by .the judges and the bar. But whilst applauding that nomi nation, the bar, we are certain, will feel profound regret at seeing a man who for many years was one of the most bri liant illustrations, and whose name will remain as one of its most glorious souvenirs, leave its ranks." ART MANUFACTURE EXHIBITION AT EDINBURGH. Her Majesty has contributed towards the second exhibition of the Art Manufacture Association, now open at Edinburgh, a very interesting selection of articles,. namely, the long jewelled sword and sci mitar, the coat of chain mail, and shield of Ti2poo the jewelled sabre of Holkar, and other , valuable Indian trophies, twelve swords, and other specimens of the armour of the 16th and 17th cen tures, the buhl writieg table of the Duke of Retz, and various other objects of much interest. The Duke of Portland exhibits his celebrated dejeuner service, in bloc dtt roi Sevres, and numerous other articles in old French china. The Duke of Hamil ton sends some exquisite works in Limoges enamel and some bronzes on pedestals of lapis lazuli, &c. The Duke of Roxburgh displays several pieces of candelabra, The East India Company show about 70 different illustrations of Indian art ; and Mr. Johnstone, of Alva, exhibits a number of Indian jewels,'including a gold bracelet with the portraits of the old King of Delhi and his sons, lately cap tured and shot, a gold necklace with miniature I paintings of buildings in and around Delhi, a frontlet of jewels presented to him by the late Rajah of Gwalior ' and. a scimitar the gift of the late King of Oude ; while Dr. Leckie shows a yetaghan given him by the King of Delhi. Car dinal Wiseman exhibits here a number of sta tuettes, plaques, and jewelled crucifixes. Mr. Beresford Hope contributes a great variety of ivories and enamels ; and Mr. Napier of Shandon, Mr. Stirling of Keir, and other eminent collectors and antiquarians, add to the exhibition many ex quisite objects of ancient art. In all the different departments of modern art there is a most attrac tive, and in many cases an excellent exhibition. In wood carving and other branches of household decoration, there is a spirited competition between the noreh and south ' • in jewellery there are very rich displays both by London and Edinburgh houses ; in pottery and • glass the Staffordshire and metro politan firms make a most attractive appearance, many new designs having been got up specially for this exhibition ; in textile fabrics there is a limited but interesting display ; while of numerous other productions there are specimens showing great merit in design as well as artistic manipulation. The exhibition is to remain open over the Christmas holydays. Yesterday (Wednesday) it was stated in Wolver hampton that the creditors generally were signing the agreement to accept payment by r instal ments, as proposed by the directors, and-adopted at the meeting on Tuesday. The best feeling pre vails 'amongst all parties, and the impression is that the bank will re-open on Monday or Tuesday. THE UNIOW BANK OF LONDON. (From a Correspondent of the Morning Advertiser.) Several reports having acquired considerable circula tion with reference to the Union Bank, we are enabled to supply some particulars which may be depended upcia as perfectly reliable. There is no truth whatever in the reports that the bank has suffered by the commercial crisis in America—that it has lent a great Ameri can house in Old Broad-street 400,0001., —or that it has suffered a loss of 60,0001. by the alleged for geries of Bright, the corn merchant, of Hull. The circulation of statements to this effect at a mo ment like the present has, of course, tended to depreciate ,the shares of the Bank in common with those of the other joint-stock establishments in the metropolis, and an opportunity has been taken to lower their value upon the Stock Exchange. The circumstance that the Bank could lend any one firm nearly half a million 'sterling, would, if true, be a cogent illustration of its strength, but it is not true that the Bank gave assistance to the firm in question to anything like the amount named. The facts of the case are- these. The American firm of the solvency of which there is. no question, applied to the Bank of England for a credit of 800,0001. to be extended over six months'. Securities, consisting for the most part of American bands and other paper of the highest class, and far in excess of the accommodation required, were tendered, but the Bank of England re quired the guarantees of English houses of the first cha racter. A. meeting of the managers of six or eight banks was then held to consider the propriety of gum ranteeing the advance, and ultimately it was arranged that the London Joint-Stock, the Union, and the Ot toman Banks should guarantee the Bank of England the advance of 800,0001., the banks tl be secured in their turn by the acceptances of the American firm, and the deposit of securities with a margin of main hue• dred thousand pounds. The Union Bank ; agreed to find 150,0001.. not 400,0001., and the balance of the 800,0001. was guaranteed by the London Joint-Stack (with which the American firm keeps its account) and the Ottoman Bank. The Union Bank, it is known, transacted the largest English agency business with America. They are the agents of Duncan, Shearman, and Co., one of the first houses in New York, and other firms of the highest standing ; but their business was solely confined to agency, and thy are in no way affected by the crisis in Wall-street. _ . . The general publicity given to the statement that the Union Bank was the agent of the Western Bank of Scotland and the City of Glasgow Bank, naturally led to an apprehension that it might be seriously compro mised by the suspension of those establishments. The bank, however, is not only covered to the utmost shilling, but the fact is that it will have to return something like 150,0001. to the estate of each of the suspended banks. The impression that the bank was a serious loser by the forgeries and failure of Bright, of Hull, may be traced to the fact, that it claimed to prove on the bankrupt's estate for a considerable sum ; but the fact that the bank merely proved, in its capacity of agept for a firm in Montreal, is a sufficient answer to the allegation. Of the soundness of the Union Bank, id Common with the other great joint-stock establishmenp, there can be no doubt, although it is suite pos: , -ible that the, future dividends of those concerns will be declared in a spirit ____ of greater caution. __ • . The facilities which the joint-:tock banks have afforded to the trading community, have, no doubt, mainly con tributed to the present extraordinary crisis in the com mercial world. Overtraling and speculation were the necessary consequences of unlimited accommodation, and the joint-stook banks will probably find that a larger reserve and a reduced dividend will be the policy to adopt for the future_ The joint-stock banks are now charging their customers 11 per cent. for discounts, while at the same time they allow 9 per cent. upon deposits and balances on drawing accounts. The difference be tween the amount paid by the bank and the amount charged to the customers for accommodation is but 2 per cont.. and the margin is far too small to enable a bank to pay ' • •eQ s •ttablishment charges and run the risk of lossts on discount transactions. The principal sources of profit in all banks, whether private or joint-stock, are the balances to the credit of the smaller class of customers. The number of small accounts in the London and Wei.t minister, the Uuion, and the joint-stock banks must amount to many thousands, and as no interest is allowed on balances below lOW., the consequ.nce is that the banks can employ a considerable portion of this money at tho highest rate of interest prevailing at the time. The profits derived in this manner are however sensibly curtailed in moments of panic, and we believe we are justified in stating that the directors of the leading joint stock banks, mindful of the necessity of a larger reser% e to meet the demands of the class of small depositors made at moments of panic, will not for the future recon - mend. a continuance of the heavy dividends and bonus , a heretofore paid, until the reseved funds bears a justtr proportion to the liabilities of the bunk, THE - scorcii BANKS, Since our last, two large and influential meetings or the noblemen, merchants, and inhabitants of Glasgow have been held —one under the auspices of the Dukes of Hamilton and Montrose, for the purpose of expresssing confidence in the system of Scottish banking—the other, professedly a meeting of the depositors in the Western Bank of Scotland, but apparently open to the public, with the same objects in view. Hitherto, the Scotch banks, one and all, were considered paragons of perfection, and their system of banking has been frequently referred to, from time to time, by financial his torians, as an example worthy of imitation. Re cent occurrences have, however, unfortunately dis sipated their high reputation for prudent manage ment, the stoppage of the Western Bank of Scot land and the City of Glasgow Bank having been the means of disclosing a reckless system of manage ment, especially as regards the former, is altogether inexcusable. At the meeting of the Western Bank depositors, the liabilities of the establishment were stated to amount to 7.670,0001., and the assets to 9,398,0001., sho wing a surplus in favour of the Bank of upwards Of 1,700,0001., but we do not find that any ex planations were vouchsafed as to the validity of these assets—a very necessary and all important piece of information, we should imagine, to all the creditors of the Bank. Not many years since, a certain gentleman became indebted to ono of those banks to the extent of several hundred thousand pounds ; when he was hauled up, it was found that he had "no assets," and the bank, therefore, "in sured his life" to the extent of their debt, upon Which they, of course, pay a very heavy annual tax. This gentleman, we are told, called on the bank some time after, and told one of the mana gers, " I am offered a lucrative situation in Sierra Leone, but you know if I go out there, the policy will be vitiated ; however, I must go; as I cannot starve." What, then, was to be done ? The same man is now comfortably living on the Con tinent, on an annuity granted him by this bank, which annuity, added to the premiums of iusur ance' forms a nice little item in the expenses of the establishment. Here, then, is a sum, let us say, of 350,0001., which is doubtless placed down as part of the " assets." How much more there may be of the same description, we cannot say, but we have disclosed quite enough to show the necessity for a close investigation into the nature of the assets, which are held, not only in the Scotch banks, but in all banks entrusted with public capital. It may be, and is, said that such investigations would he injurious to credit ; but it is manifest that, in the great majority of cases, it could only be injurious to parties whose circumstances are not in a wholesome condition. At any rate, the check that such a system of investigation would give to improvident management, would be productive cf a much greater amount of good than any harm likely to result from it. A special commiCee, selected from amongst the shareholders annually for this purpose, and sworn to secrecy, should, therefore, form part of the machinery of all banking establishments. At the time of the distrust in London, conse quent upon the failure of Strachey, Paul, and Bates, and others, suspicion was cast upon the securities held by the Joint Stock Banks of that city, when the directors of these banks very pro perly publicly intimated to their shareholders and depositors that the securities they held were ready for their inspection at any time. Confidence was thus immediately restored. If the directors of the Scotch banks had adopted a similar course, during the late excitement, it would have redounded much to their credit; and it is not too late even yet to do so. We wish it to be clearly understood, that in what we have writtea we do not cast a shadow of reproach upon the Scotch and Irish bankingd. sys tem, as we have ha , l leng experience of it t s a Our table working, under prudent management. only object, in the preceding observations.. public in such a secure preserve the interests of the enien is to be able to shake the security held by manner as that "no crisis," however se t v b er e e, b w an ill k depositor.
