Those persons who formerly remained quiescent will Inow have a powerful motive to preserve the tran quillity of the country ; a prompt pursuit of the • guilty parties, in which the peasantry join with activity and alacrity, will prove that the public feeling in that vicinity is in a healthy state, and that there is no occasion for any extraordinary measure to be introduced where the people have acted in so praiseworthy a manner. The clause by which per sons refusing or neglecting to join in the search and pursuit of those who have committed, or attempted to commit a murder, when called upon so to do by any justice, peace-officer, or constable, are made guilty of a misdemeanour, and subjected to two years' imprisonment, with or without hard labour, will likewise prove most serviceable to the cause of peace and order, and will be found to be, pro bably, the most valuable provision of the Bill. The clause which was added at the suggestion of Mr. BAINES effects an improvement, the necessity of which has long been recognised—indeed it is diffi cult to conceive any reason why it has so long been overlooked. It will be especially useful at the pre sent moment, when Lord CLARENDON has declared his intention of making all those who comfort, shelter, and protect well-known assassins, and enable them to escape the punishment due to their offences, amenable to the law as accessories after the fact. Formerly no person could be brought to trial as an accessory (unless tried with his princi pal) until that principal had actually been convicted- This defect was, however, remedied, so far as related to accessories before the fact, by the 7 Geo. IV., c. 64, by which it was enacted that " accessories before the fact to any felony, whether by common law, or by statute made or to be made, shall be deemed guilty of felony, and may be indicted for a substan tive felony, whether the principal shall or shall not have been convicted, or shall or shall not be amenable to justice, and may be punished in the same manner as if convicted as accessories to the felony." No change was, however, made in the law so far as it related to accessories after the fact, and conse quently, if the murderer escaped from justice, no punishment could be inflicted on those who enabled him to do so. Mr. BAINES'S clause will obviate this defect in the law, and make both classes of acces sories subject to the like regulations. This most beneficial enactment should, however, be made per manently, and not as a part of an Act which will ex pire in less than two years. Indebted as the people of the United Kingdom are to the exertions of Dr. SOUTHWOOD SMITH, of the Marquis of NORMANDY, of the Earl of LINCOLN, and of Viscount MORPETH, in the furtherance of the cause of sanitary improvement, they are in no small mea sure indebted to the labour of Lord DUNCAN and Mr. ROEBUCK for the abolition of the iniquitous tax upon windows. We are induced to couple the two projects together, from a reason similar to that which induced the Commissioners at Gwydyr House, to de clare, last year, that no sanitary measure could be regarded as perfect which did not entirely abolish the window-tax. Without the removal of that into lerable obstruction the health of the community can never obtain anything like adequate protection, for upon the sufficiency and excellence of ventilation the lives of the multitude are principally de pendent, and ventilation can never by any possbility be effectual with an indifferent number of windows in our dwelling-houses. For several years past the representatives of Bath have recognised this ne cessity, and have advocated with consistency and earnestness the destruction of this paramount obstacle to ventilation. Now that Mr. ROEBUCK has been prevented from entering the new Parliament through the ingratitude of his late constituents, his noble colleague is compelled to pursue the old system of agitation without his customary assistance. At the meeting of the delegates of the metropolitan parishes, which occurred yesterday in the Court-house, Mary lebone, Lord DUNCAN again insisted upon the re markable advantages which must accrue to the com munity by the dissipation of those imposts which are, perhaps, the most burdensome in the whole system of taxation. The intelligent mind of DUPUTTREN has long since demonstrated the intimate connexion which exists between light and ventilation and the maintenance of the healthy condition of the animal economy. Without a proper supply of the light of heaven, and of that atmosphere which is the chief source of • nourishment to men, disease must be prevalent and death must be of unnatural frequency. Of all the means which the DIVINITY has employed for the support of life in the animal and vegetable kingdoms, not one is so universal and perpetual in operation as the air, which is alike respired by the lungs of the one portion of creation and by the leaves of the other. Considering how requisite is the purity of the atmospheric gases for the sustentation of both human and vegetable exist ence, considering the continual consumption which is taking place in its constituent portions, and that such an accurate equilibrium is essential between those parts as shall leave 21 per cent. of oxygen, and 79 per cent. of nitrogen, or azote, in connexion with one-thousandth part of carbonic acid—it is a matter at once of amazement and ad miration that the atmosphere is everywhere else on the surface of the globe, excepting in those localities in which the ignorance of humanity has thwarted the designs of OMNIPOTENCE, as pure as on the morning of creation. The manner in which this has been effected is depicted with considerable accuracy in a pamphlet, recently published by Mr. MATIIER, of South Sheilds, who observes that this eternv 1 puri fication is attributable to " the gentle airs that undulate along earth's surface ; the winds that blow through the atmosphere ; the storms and hurricanes that rouse the aerial mass to its depth ; the electric fluid that streams and flashes in it, agi tating its bosom and setting its clouds in motion the different temperatures of the various climes, pro pelling it ever onward, seeking equilibrium and rest, and finding everlasting motion ; the rivers, seas, oceanic streams, and tides producing aerial currents ; the sun's rays ; the great law of the diffusibility of gases ; their various specific gravities, projecting some into the higher regions, diffusing others in mid air, and rolling along or sinking others in the ground ; their absorption by water, aqueous vapour, clouds, or rain; and the actions of vegetable life, forming new and healthful combinations." Such is the recipmca tion of activity which would invariably lead to the nourishment of mankind through their most subtle organs of respiration, but for the evils which are permitted to accumulate in the vicinity of their homes, and the cruel dispensations of the Legislature in imposing a serious tax upon the daylight and the atmosphere. By the total and im mediate abolition of the window-tax we can alone hope to ensure to the multitude the benefits of sani tary improvement. Among the preliminary mea sures of this character, the most necessary for the prevention of a frightful increase in the national mor tality are enactments having reference to the Asiatic Cholera. The assertion made the other evening by the Prime Minister, that the new Acts are un- necessary because those of 1832 are still in operation, proves to be altogether erroneous. So far from the enactments, 2 William IV., c. 10 and 11, and 3 and 4 William IV., c. 75, being still in force, they expired with the dissolution of the very Parliament in which they originated. Some additional measures are, indeed, absolutely requisite ii the Government would take the most ordinary pre cautions for the mitigation of one of the most destruc tive scourges to which the human family is liable.

DECEMBER 11, 1847. The Irish Outrage Bill has gone through Com mittee, and was ordered to be reported, and the re port to be this day brought up. Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL thought it necessary to propose several amendments, but he only once ventured to a division, and then:obtained but four votes in support of his proposition. The Bill may now be looked on as vir tually passed, and we are convinced that when ju dicioutly brought into operation it will be found productive of the most beneficial results, There are many points in which the new Bill possesses vast ad vantages over the more stringent enactments of former days, which will render it far more efficient in affording the desired protection to life and property, while, at the same time, the interference with the liberties of the people is reduced to the minimum amount, and will not be complained of by any well-disposed and peace able persons. It adopts the humane principle that prevention is better than punishment, and it there fore enables the Lord-Lieutenant, with the assent of the Privy Council, to proclaim a district even before outrages have been committed, if those threatening indications are observable that render it a matter of perfect certainty that speedy disturbances will ensue. The old Whiteboy Acts were open to this objection, they could not come into operation until the or ganization was complete, and numerous outrages had disgraced the locality. That which in the earlier stages could easily have been repressed was suffered to acquire strength, and to proceed without let or hinderance until it had attained a cer tain pre-eminence in crime, and the great body of the people had been involved in illegal confederacies, from which they would gladly have remained free, if fully protected against the nefarious designs of the outlawed miscreants who originated the disturbuncus. Lord CLARENDON has deservedly obtained the con fidence of all classes and grades in Ireland. We will venture to assert that there is not a single person throughout the entire nation who would suppose it possible that he would abuse the power intrusted his hands. And whil e h er M AJESTY i s so for tunate as to poss ess so t rus t wort h y a representative, it would, indeed, be a most un w i se p recau ti on if be sh ou l d be ecompelled to di sregar d th e c l ou d s t h at lower i n the horizon,ed and t o awa it pat i ent l y t h e coming storm before preparations were m a d e t o en counter it s violence Another admirable provisione of the present Bill is the additional police I the ca4ting the entire x wohifsich their services are force upon the locaditiels) n i s n e ntohteto be postponed required.

A brilliant serenade was given last night to General Dufour, at which an immense crowd was present. An address was then presented by the so ciety of the Liederta fel to him, expressing their warm admiration of the able manner in which he had fulfilled the important duties confided to him as Commander-in- Chief. The General returned a suitable reply, declaring that all the merit of the late successful events was to be attributed not to him but to the troops under his com mand; and still more to the Diet which had by its energy proved that • they knew how to put down insurrection at home, as well as that it could successfully oppose in trigues coming from abroad. That body had shown to the world that Switzerland was capable of causing itself to be respected by foreign powers, and could repel all attacks on her independence, from whatever quarter they came.' Loud applause greeted these observations. Colonel Ochsenbein gives to-day a grand dinner to the General and to the principal officers of his staff." A letter from Modena announces the arrival in that city of the Archduke FERDINAND, brother of the reigning Duke, and of his newly-married wife, the Princess ELIZABETH. The Government, it is said, had sent a body of troops to Ceserano and Fivizzano, to prevent these places from being attacked by the inhabitants of Pontremoli. It was rumoured at Massa that the Duke of MODENA was about to arrive, and to accord a general amnesty. The Diario di Roma of the 27th ult. announces that the appointment of Cardinal ALTIERI to the Presidency of Rome and the Comarca, having vacated the post of Secretary of Memorials, the POPE has conferred it on Cardinal FERRETTI, Secretary of State. We read in the Prussian State Gazette of the 6th " We, Frederick William, by the grace of God, King of Prussia, &c.—ln our message of June 24th, in the present year, to our States assembled in the United Diet, we expressed our intention to present to the Com mittee of the States the project of a new penal code; and, taking into consideration the observations of the Provincial States, which have reached us on this subject, with the wish to convoke them for this purpose ‘lith the shortest delay, and considering that the necessary pre paratives are terminated, we have resolved that the Com mittee shall be opened on the 17th -January, 1848, in our capital and residence of Berlin. We have named as Marshal, the Prince de Johny Mohen Salms Lich, and as Vice-Marshal, Lienntenant Colonel Adolphe de Ro chau de Stuipe. At the same tine we ordain that the section of the Committee appointed for the project of the penal code, according to sections 6 and 7 of the regulations of the United Committee of the States of the 2d inst., for preparing the pleniary deliberations, shall enter upon its functions before the opening of the Com mittee of the United States, and consequently shall assemble at Berlin on the 29th of December. Our Minister of State is charged to order the convocation of the Committee of the United States by the Minister of the Interior, and to make the necessary preparations. Given at Charlottenburg, this 3d December, 1847. (Signed) " FREDERIC WILLIAM, (Countersigned) "DE BODELSWING." A letter from Mania of the Ist says:— " The Address read on the part of King at the close of the session is vague as to the fate of many of the questions brought forward during the last few months, as well as to the intentions of the Government relative to the press. The Address merely says:— • We assembled the States of our Kingdom before the period fixed by chap. ♦iii. paragraph 22, of the Con stitution, for an object which was expressly indicated in our patent of convocation. But we do not the less reserve to ourselves to subject to a more pro found examination several of the wishes and pro positions which have been addressed to us.' Until lately all that had relation to the press and book publishing was under the control of the Ministry of the Interior ; but an ordinance of the King dated the 30th, has charged the new Minister of Foreign Affairs, Prince de Wallersteia, with it. The Prince also takes the direction of affairs concerning public worship and schools, in exchange for the direction of the Post office and of railways, which are to belong for the future to the Ministry of Finance. These changes are only, we are assured, the precursors of other much more im portant ones." A correspondent writes from Magdeburg on the Ist, that the entire incorporation of the kingdom of Poland with the Russian empire is decided upon, and will positively take place on Jan. 1, 1848. At the sitting of the Chamber of Magnates, held at Presburg (Hungary), on the 30th ult., a proposi tion that the nobles should be subjected equally with the other classes to the tax on domestics was voted by a large majority, but another proposition for their being rendered liable to the war taxes was rejected. The Madrid mail had not arrived in Paris whe, le post left. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. There was a rumour on the Bourse that M. Guizoz, disgusted at the ill-success of his meddling policy in Switzerland, at the progress of the reform question, as manifested by the recent municipal elec tions in Paris, and, above all, at the refusal of the ICING to permit him to dispose of the various em bassies according to his own desire, had tendered his resignation. As regards the Swiss question, there can be no doubt but that M. GUIZOT has completely out manceuvred himself. Annoyed at the declaration of Lord PALMERSTON in the House of Commons on Monday, M. GUIZOT says, through his organ, the Journal des DEW:, "There is, in fact, no need to put an end to a war which has terminated of itself, but the suspension of hostilities was only one of the terms of the mediation ;" thus intimating that the conferences may be still continued, notwithstanding the secession of Lord PALMERSTON. But scarcely had M. GUIZOT announced this his determination, when M. HUMANN, First Secretary of the French Legation, arrived in Paris from Berlin with dispatches for M. GUIZOT, announcing that the King of PRUSSIA considered the question of mediation in Swiss affairs at an end, so that there is every probability that M. GUIZOT will be left " alone in his glory" to enjoy, without a rival, the proud title of " Protector of the Jesuits." The conduct of the English Government has won for it the approval of all parties in France, save that of which M. GUIZOT is the idol. The Conslitutionnel says— " The English Government is more wise than M. Guizot; it takes the facts as they are, and gives to our Cabinet a lesson of common sense, in delivering it by a single word from this absurd affair of impossible media don, in which M. Guizot still struggles. Why has not X Guizot acted like Lord Palmerston? For two rea sons; first, because the mediation was the invention of M. Guirit, who groans at seeing his work fall into immense ridicule, and who would save it if ho could by a desperate effort; and secondly, because he has placed himself at the tail, or rather at the head of the re actionary and absolutist passions of Europe against Switzerland. His heart, however, begins to fail hi , .n in this struggle against the Helvetic Confederation,land ho has already declared, that he desires nothing better than to live in good harmony with that small and in teresting republic,' which, only yesterday, was in his eyes a nest of brigands, communists, and assassins."- Even the Presse, which never scruples to declare its hatred of England and of everything English, is on this occasion compelled to praise the " wise decision" of the British Government, " which has," says the Presse," placed common sense on its side, and reduced us to the necessity of re gretting that our Cabinet had neither the same intel ligence nor the same sagacity. England compre hended a mediation as long as a civil war existed, and so long as the action of the Powers might have the effect of disarming parties engaged with arms in their hands, and of stopping the effusion of blood ; but she could not comprehend it when there was no longer either war or bloodshed. Her statesmen are not persons to render themselves ridiculous by main taining officially that it is night when it is mid-day— to summon to their tribunal a Sonderbund which no longer exists —to propose gravely to belligerent par ties to separate, when it is clear to the whole world ;hat the contest has definitively ceased. Neither are they in the humour to engage rashly in a crusade against Radicalism—in a war of principles. They consider that the time has passed for Don Quixotism of all colours, and in that they give a proof of good sense which it is impossible to deny." It is said that the KING has positively refused to ratify the appointment of M. PISCATOBY to the Ma drid embassy. Thi s i s ano th er c h ec k f or M. GUIZOT, and, coupled with the refusal of the Cabinet to sanction the appointment of the Duke of GLUCKS• BURG to the Lisbon embassy, an appointment to which M. GUIZOT was personally pledged, would seem to indicate that the KING and the Cabinet consider M. Guizor " used up," and would fain be rid of him. A letter from Algiers of the 80th, published in the Constitutionnel, says— " The Governor-General has just received from the west dispatches of the highest importance, which will probably oblige him to proceed forth with to that part of the colony. We have been assured that General Lamo ricioire has apprised the Duke d'Aumale of a movement effected by Abd-el-Kader in the direction of the Algerian frontier, with a view to open negotiations with the French authorities. Instructions have been demanded from Paris respecting the nature of the terms to be granted to the Emir, who, it appears, is inclined to make 1 his submission. Already has General Lamoriciere, com mander of the division of Oran, repaired to the extreme frontier, where he will no doubt be shortly joined by the Duke d'Aumale. It was only after he sing exhausted all means of entering into a negotiation with the Govern ment, by which all his overtures have been rejected, that the Emir, whose position became more and more critical, has resolved to essay a last atte•npt. He cannot expect to treat with France as one sovereign treats with ano ther. He once did so, at a period now remote. We may, consequently, suppose that Abd-el-Kader will make his submission on certain conditions." A letter from Cherbourg, of the 6th, gives the fol lowing statement of the works to be done during the ensuing year in the building yards of that port : " The steam-frigate Sane, the first-class steam-cor vette, of 320 horse-power, the Colbert, and the steam corvette, the Newton, are to be completely finished. An advice-corvette of 200 horse-power, to be called the Milan, is to be laid down, and on to 8-24ths. A 20-gun brig, to be called the Obligado, will be car ried during the year up to 12-24ths. The Austerlitz, ship of the line, will be advanced to 12.24th5; the third ship of the line the Tilsit to 16-24ths ; the second-rate frigate the Bellone to 18-24ths ; and the Euridice corvette to be finished within 3-24ths." By an order of the Minister of Marine, issued Nov. 29, the following new vessels will he laid on the stocks at Rochefort in the course of 1848 :—The Dugueselin, of 70 guns ; the Algeria, a frigate of the third rank; the Entreprenante, a frigate of the first rank ; the Laborieux, a towing vessel of 220 horse power. The following are to be completely finished to the degree of forwardness men tioned below :—The Mogador steam-frigate will be terminated and put in a position to be armed if necessary; the Ulm, a vessel of the first rank, will be carried up to the 22- 24ths ; the Semiramis, a frigate of the first rank, to the 12-24ths ; the Fiore and Circe, frigates of the second rank, each to the 12-24ths; the Constantine corvette, to the 22 .24th5; the Catinat steam-corvette, of 400 horse-power, to 22-24ths ; the Coligny steam corvette, of 300 horse-power, to 22-24ths; and a vessel of the third rank, to be called the Alexandre, will be put on the stocks and carried up to 4-24ths. The man-of-war, the Ulm, and the Semiramis fri gate, will be fitted up with steam -engines. At Lorient, the Minister has ordered that in the course of 1848 the frigate of the first rank the Vengeance, and the brig the Chasseur, shall be completely ter minated and launched ; a frigate of the first rank, the Pallas, the floating battery the Protecteur, and the brig Zibre, of 20 guns, are to be put on the stocks ; the construction of the man-of-war of the second rank Duguay-Trouin and the Annibal, the frigate of the first rank the Entreprenante, the frigate of the second rank the Dryade, the corvette the Thisbe, and the steam-corvette, the Tisiphone, be advanced. The Annibal and the Entreprenante will receive steam engines. COURS AUTHENTiQUE.—PARIS, DEC. 9. —Five per Cents., 161 f. 20c. ; Three per Cents., 75f. 45c. 25c. ex div. ; Three per Cent.

Mr. RICARDO presented a petition from Wor cester in favour of the repeal of the Jewish disa bilities. ELECTION PETITION. The SPEAKER stated that the recognizances in the case of the petition against the return for Great Marlow had been examined and found unobjection able. JEWISH DISABILITIES. Mr. E. GLADSTONE wished to know whether it was the intention .of the Noble Lord at the head of the Government to bring forward his Bill for the re newal of the civil and religious disabilities of the Jews on Thursday, as he had stated? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the Noble Lord would be in his place on Monday, and it would be more satisfactory if he then stated to the House the course he intended to pursue. CRIME AND OUTRAGE (IRELAND) BILL. On the order of the day for bringing up the report upon this Bill being read, Mr. J. O'CONNELL said that it was not his in tention to oppose the Bill upon that stage, seeing that the sense of the House was so decidedly in favour of the Bill. He hoped, however, that he should not be considered as adopting a factious course if, upon the third reading of the Bill, he should think it his duty to take the sense of the House again upon the mea sure, more particularly with respect to the question that the House had refused to adopt remedial mea sures before passing the Bill. The report was then brought up and agreed to. Sir G. GREY proposed some verbal amendments in one of the clauses, which were agreed to. He also proposed to bring up a clause authorizing the Lord- Lieutenant to remove prisoners under sentence of imprisonment from any gaol in which they might be imprisoned, in case of fever or any other disease. In the last session an Act was passed giving the Lord- Lieutenant power to remove such prisoners, and it was thought desirable to give the same power to the Lord-Lieutenant under the present Bill, autho rizing him to remove prisoners from any gaol in any of the proclaimed districts, leaving the expense of the maintenance of the prisoners to be borne by the barony, county, or district, from which the prisoners were brought. Mr. J. O'CONNELL wished to know whether the clause would be confined to prisoners after con viction Sir G. GREY said that it would. Under the former Act it referred to all prisoners whatever. Mr. J. O'CONNELL thought that in case of fever or other disease the provision in q ues ti on wou ld b e a valuable one, and in case it would not increase the , he had no objection to off e r to the insertion of the clau se . severity of the measure The clause was then agreed to, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time on M on d a y nex t. The House adjourned about twenty minutes past Twelve till Four o'clock on Monday. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER.—FRIDAY.

DREADFUL INCENDIARY ERR IN ELTHAM.—Last night, about the hour of eleven, a most terrific destruc tion of property commenced on the estate of a gentleman named Clarke, residing at Eltham, in Kent. From the information obtained, it appeared that at half-past ten o'clock some persons were proceeding along the road, and observed a sudden glare of light near the haystacks of Mr. Clarke. An alarm was raised, and the inhabi tants were promptly on the spot, but from the inadequate power pf tho se present, t i ll t h e arr i v al o f an engine from a parochial di str i ct, nothing staye d t h e p rogress o f th e destructiv e e l ement. About one o ' c l oc k the W es t o f England, several of the London Establishment, the County, and sev e r a l o th er engines from London arrived, but unfortunat e l y t h ey cou ld not ho provided with the supply of water, necessary having to supply each other from a large ditch some distance from the flames ; yet such were the exertions of the firemen, that not withstanding this great difficulty, the firemen saved the dwelling house, as also the barn, but the sheds for the reception of beasts, four stacks of hay, out- buildings, and considerable other property were destroyed. At three o'clock the firemen had succeeded in their efforts in allaYing any farther alarm, though it was necessary to keep two engines working, to preserve five stacks of hay left in jeopardy. It was ascertained that Mr. Clarke is insured in the Sun tire-office, so that the object of the incendiary in that respect will be thwarted. Tho loss cannot be estimated at less than 700/. or 800/. The horse and foot metropolitan police rendered every assist. ance. Sir De Lacy Evans has been prevented by influ enza from voting for the Catholic Relief Bill, and the Prevention of Assassination Bill, and against adjourn ments. We are requested to state that Sir Montague J. Cholmeley is prevented attending to his Parliamentary duties in consequence of having dislocated his shoulder by an accident in hunting.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool this week has con tinued very heavy, prices having receded id. to kd. per lb. Sales yesterday, 3,000 bales.—Railway Shares have been quiet again The following is an analysis of the Bank of England weekly return to the 4th inst.:— Notes issued £24,366,085 Increase Rest Decrease 42,563 Public deposits Increase Other deposits Increase Seven day and other bills Decrease 5,362 Government Securities No alteration. Other Securities 18,070,409 Decrease 461,401 Notes .... Increase . . 596,410 Bullion Increase Active circulation .... 18,783,085 Decrease 186,490 The great increase in the bullion, reserve of notes, deposits, &c., suffices to prove that the Bank is fortified for a long time to come, and that it is more likely to have a difficulty in employing its funds than otherwise. There are not any arrivals announced this day from our colonial possessions. It is understood that as far as the West India trade is concerned, that a more easy feel ing exists, under the full impression among its members that the Government will propose to the Legislature some measure of relief. How this is to be effected, should such be the fact, is a point upon which no in formation to be relied upon has been made public. It was known that the firm of Lysaght, Smithatt, and Co. had yesterday afternoon suspended payment, and, as reported, for 60,0001. to 70,0001. We understand that the accounts given are much exaggerated. The partners were engaged in the East India agency business principally. The Consol Market has been rather heavy this morn ing. The Account price has been at 84k, the half-year's dividend off, and at 85i 86 for Money, with the dividend on. The value of Exchequer-bills has remained from ss. to Bs. premium. The prices quoted fir Bank Stock to-day have been from 1864 to 1881. Mexican Bonds have been steady at 17i f, the Spanish Three per Cents. at 28f, and the Grenada One per Cents. at 18k. In the Railway Share Market there has not been any business of interest transacted to-day. ONE CLOSING i RILES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. PRICES Bank Stock 3 per Cent.
