The plan of the Bank of Deposit differs entirely from that of ordi nary Banks in the mode of employing capitel —money deposited with this Company being principally lent upon well secured Life Interests, Reversions in the Government Funds. or other property of ample value. This class of securities, although not immediately convertible, it is well known yields the greatest amount of profit, combined with the most perfect safety. Further, Loans made by the Company are coupled with a Policy of Assurance on the life of the Borrower, or his nominee, equal in amount to the sum lent, effected at a rate of premium which secures the validity of the Policy against all contingencies, in itelf constituting a valuable instrument of collateral security. Thus depositors are effectually protected against the possibility of loss, whilst the large and constantly increasing revenue arising from the premiums on A , surances thus effected yields ample profit to the Company, and provides for all the expenses of management.

N. : The importance of the subject ou which I address you will account for and excuse this exclusively busincss communication. I have no desireto be considered one of the overwise but all men of common sense admit that experience constitutes the wisdom of the practically observant. More than 40 years have elapsed since I became a seamen ; and from the time electric telegraph cables were invented the best means of laying them down appeared to me an object which merited practical study, and mature professional consideration. When the earliest abortive attempts were made with the first cable between Doverand Calais, in 18;il, I pointed out in a correspondence with the Govern ment (still producible) the inadequacy of the means then used, and at that period invented an apparatus (registered as a design, December, 1851, as can be ascertained at the registration of designs office), of which it may be sufficient t.) say, that-is details have been more or less adopted in the fittings of all steam vessels since employed for laying down such cables, without recompense to the inventor. With this, however, I am aware you have no thing whatever to do, and merely mention the fact to prove the extent of my labours and research only further premising that, although the ma chinery of my inventoo, properly modified to meet varying circumstances, would easily have accom plished in every former instance the desired end, within comparatively short distances of one or two hundred miles, it, as well as other proposed me thods, will necessarily require a different applica tion of principles and powers, and many additional indispensable adjuncts, to provide against any at tempted laying down a cable between Britain and America turning out a complete failure, attended by the inevitable loss of all such portion of the cable as may be incautiously submerged, for rea sons hereafter specified—meaning, of course, if the methods heretofore practised, and apparently about to be repeated in the Niagara and .Agamemnon, are persevered in. I beg leave at the same time to state my thorough conviction of the practicability of your undertaking, provided the necessary additional means are adopted —having myself in 1851 reported to the govern ment that a magnetic telegraph could be laid down with safety and facility between any two given pieces, however distant, and offered personally to superintend the operation, as can be proven by offi cial correspondence of that date, which I am ready to produce to verify the facts. With proper mate rials properly applied I retain the same conviction still, and am therefore deeply interested in your ul image success. But no man, or set of men, how ever zealous, skilful, or experienced, can accom pish that which is practically impossible, and such I aver will be found any attempt made to lay down a cable between Britain and America, in the old, pay and go, drum, stopper, compress, and stick-it out style, which has heretofore effected the work undertaken in various instances, even for short comparative distances, with so much difficulty, and never without serious and expensive mishaps. I conclude you have not based tiny of your cal culations as to distance, or the track to be followed in laying down your cable, upon soundings recently said to have been obtvined at perpendicular depths (in fathoms) of one and a half, two, and two and a half miles. Because, without imputing to officers iu our own navy (who allege they have sounded at seven and eight miles depth !), or to the members of other services, more than having them elves been deceived, in supposing they have so struck sound ings, it will be conclusive to point out, both modern science and actual experimeet dernons rate, that long before any such depths could be reached, the deep-sea lead (or any heavier weight which a lead line would be strong enough to haul up again as it neared the surface) must necessarily have displaced its own specific gravity, in so dense a medium as water, and consequently at once then stop, remain ing suspended, equilibrated, or, as usually termed, afloat, all line payed out afterwards being merely slack taken by the vessel's drift or motion, and. the line's own triflingly greater weight than water, wherein rope will coil and sink, until either drawn after the ship horizontally, or the lead-line itself gradually reaches by descent its own weight-point of flotation. I have myself seen a heavy gun (a cannon) dis mounted, slung, and lowered, at first by a hawser in a snatch-block, from a vessel's mainyard operly secured, decreasing the size of the rope as the gun descended, until the rode or line became quite slack, and then the submerged cannon was towed. some distance by, a boat, hanging only by a piece of two-. inch rope, proving the gun had indeed displaced its specific gravity, but not that soundings were ob tained. The inference intended to be drawn, there fore is, that there need be no apprehens io n of y o ur cable chafing on the bottom in greater depths than two hundred fathoms, ae its weight will not, with the surface preteented, immerse it more, in oce ins such as the Athentic, whose average depth may be estimated at about four miles ; consequently extra ordinary provis ion for weighing, or precautions against chafe, need only be made at the extremities as the ends app roach the land ; whilst as regards security by submersion against accidents, two hun dred fathoms dow'?' will be as effectual as if your cable could sink to the antipodes. The selection of. screw-propelled. fillips to lay your cable down would certainly appear not to be the best, as the laeiness and known uncertainty with which screw vet saels draw astern, or make a sternboard, presents on obvious though not per haps insuperable objection to their employment, for such purposes ; wli Ist paddles can be backed to regulate or obviate a train at any instant with, certainty and precision. . After the cables are joined there cannot be a doubt tt at every possible care will be taken to have plenty 'f slack ranged, and all other means adopted to pay . out and give cable a s required ; that the officers -.will also, only very gra dually, get way on the Niag era and Agimernnon ; but with all such precaution's, it must be remem bered, that to the adverse me imenturn of two mov ing bodies of, say 4,000 tons eA ch, calms on the slightest check would present pe a sensible resistance, but be as inevitably carried awa v as a cob web ex tended between two cart-horses di awingin different directions. The Agamemnon and Niagara will un- doub'edly do, to lay out t he cab're, when all addi tional requisites are furn ished ; i hiltn future cases paddle steamers should be preferred, for the rea sons defined. The principle likewise appears inexpl;.cable uon which p . it has been decided to rend the cables to sea, join, and then run thear out from a central ii(*et—as seamen never lay down moorings on the bight. Auutuer &e ve don mine, that with a motive power at each ex.rernity, there well clearly always be two dangerous points of greatest strain, near the ends of the laid out cablo, instead of:one. Therefore, on the slightest pitch, the cables will either carry away inboard the Niagara and Agamemnon where checked, or, at not more than from 5 to 20 fathoms astern of those vessels. Because, even supposing it possible on the old plan, to pay out 100 miles of elec tric cable safely, to move the submerged portion after wards in a hoeizental direction would be evidently im ` pessible, unless' the co-operating snip steaming is an opposite direction could beedrawn astern with it—hence a o rr steady resisting strain to each vessel will be constantly maintain •d. And, as a sudden jerk of adversely exerted force at the extremities of a bar or line al ways fractures ca greatest aswtraeyi eitherit followst the oar one that i r tthheeioetalletr pitch, athet e v points of r l in a topgallant ertez !, of such heavy ships as the Aga memnon and Niagara, however slightly checked, must -- part eQ small a cable short off, or within a few fatherly! of their sternpoets ; in which case the middle section of the submerged oahle would be irrecoverably itnm-rsed a centing,incy likewise certain to happen on the occur rence of a gale of wind, as regards a cable insufficient for ships to ride by, that no adequate provision has been made to,:sectire iirid which to cut; or let run out by the bare end, eque4 invteeres the necessity of losing. I am at any time prepared to dernenatrate by practical experiments: the estitsAhus submitted to your cetreiders* tion—in. the Atlentie,,as to soundings, by lowering a gun in the niaonee deecrlbed, if allowed the opportueii; although even deecenziing a few hundred yards in a coat wine proves bow rapidly lowered weights dirain fib • in . sitiatt.,,that at o r n', - .ar'oik 04kth ' s CektiVjbIIWOMPAI/6" tip oredown," bodies being equally attracted in every* di. rectien ; a law partially exerted on small portions of mat ter even in comparatively superficial positions, such for instance, as a sounding lead, submerged in so dense an element as water, to any point below (as it mai be termed) the exterior line of the earth's general surface, and thereby brought within the reacting upward attrac tive influence of its external superincumbent masses, I must likewise set myself right as to intention. Aware that all the appointments are filled up, and duties assigned, I do not seek to interfere with the employment or position of any man : and of amateur performances I entertain the customary professional dislike. My object in addressing you is this : If an attempt is made to lay down your cable in the manner formerly practised it will be lost, as would likewise be the case with a tele graph cable of any other size, form, or construction (patented or not) similarly treated ; the dimensions and powers of yours, unstretched, appearing sufficient! and unobjectionable, tee danger being in the mode of .sub mersion. I tr , ?ertake to show a practical method (of my inven tion) by which the electric cable may be safely and cer tainly extended uninjured, between Ireland and Ame rica, or any other two even more distant points; but I must add, that in order to make sure, about two thirds only of the requisite expense will have been disbursed, when the electric cablss are shippef on board tba Niagara and Agamemnon, whilst some :little further time wilt afterwards be required to provide the additional necessaries. Your choice, therefore, rests between risking the loss of the cable and incurrink the extra first Cost (a trifle, however, when compared!with that a miscarriage involve!) to insure its safety, speedy adaptation to the purpose intended, and the certain;cotn pletion of your most important undertaking. If the funds at present subscribed do not admit of this, rather than lose the cable on explanation of the plan proksed (which every practical man of common sense must then at once see the actual necessity of adopting), there can.: not be a doubt your shareholders and 'the public readily supply the additional capital required. Although you may not deem it advisable at of entertain my propo§itioo, in averring that I fee v;need some . such ireprOvect method will have rould Ice to con- ;o be adopted shortly, I hope you understand the great !work contemplated carries with it my best wishes for itl3 suc cessful accomplishment, by any means whatsoeveri,: the preceding experience-based prognostication origiriating only in a conviction on my part that, with present weans and appl.ances, the difficulties you have to eno amount to actual physical impossibilities. FRANCIS HIGGIN, PROPOSED MEETING ON THE RENEWA THE BANK CHARTER. inter (From the Bankers' Circular.) OF ' The monetary reformers who have laboured; long and hard to impress upon the public mind the in consistencies, the injustice, and the anomali,es, of our monetaty system, which have arisen entirely from the encouragement of a monopoly enjoyed by a single Joint-Stock Company, will be glad to hear that a meeting will be held at the London Tavern, on Wednesday next, to take into consideration the best means for brin g ing the matter before the public. We need nut express our surprise at the proposed step ; for we are more surprised tliat, after the condemnation of the present system by nearly every Chamber of Commerce in the 'United Kingdom, no attempt has hitherto been mare to express the views of commerc i a l men i n som con centrated form of action. They have stood! aloof until there appears a storm in the horizon hich threatens them with calamity. It is true, there are to be found here and there a few g ntle men, who, Eke the honourable member for Peterbot ough, eau see nothing but sunshine dazzling before them : to whom trade and commerce are represented in the most glowing terms. "iLook at our exports," these gentlemen exclaim ; "every I succeeding year and every month our commerce is expanding ; look at our immense consumption of every kind of provision, what greater proof can we have that all goes on well ; and that the vessel of the State is sailing onwards in safe water with a favourable gale to assist her 1" We look to no such facts, though true they may be, for a correct esti mate of our position ; and we hesitate not to say that he who will venture to affirm that trade and commerce are flourishing, or that the industrious classes are in a thriving condition in this country, knows nothing of the truth, or that he wilfully misrepresents it : it signifies, therefore, but little on which horn of the dilemma he is placed. "Yell, what has all this to do with the Bank Charter ?" some will say. "Money, Ike all other commodi ties, is worth what it will bring ; and they who deal in it have a right to all they can get for its use." This is the creed of the mere capitalist ; and any attempt made to refute it is as useless as talk ing to the winds. It has become a national prin ciple ; and life, religion, morally, and humanity, all sink before its unbending laws. Well, but what has the Bank Charter to do with this ? A slight glance at the subject will be sufficient to let in a little light upon the matter. The people who occupy the British islands are an industrious people ',: they tail, when employment can be found, at every de scription of labour ; and the productions of their skill aro scattered over all the known regions of the globe. By the constancy of their energy, we are p!aced in the possession of every article of necessity and of luxury that the world produces ; and it is, we believe, doubtful whether a famine has ever existed at any time amongst such a class, without its being the result of some interference with the laws of nature and of justice. It only requires a simple thought to show that under a system of iudus trial freedom such as this, the power of supplying the wants of man is illimitable. Bow, then, is it, that in such a country periodical cycles of misery, distress, and want, are continually recurring f Let us look a little further into this, and we shall find that there exists an intermediate power, which is ever at work to produce this state of things ; and men become so accustomed to it, that they regard it as the result of some natural law, over which man, with all his intellectual superiority and su premacy, has no control. This is precisely the case with the distress that periodically visits the indus trious classes of thi; country. It is not traced to its source through the various channels in which . is generated. It is the monopolizing character which is found iu our money laws that o ha m s a r i T e r r meated into every class of society ; an o - f d how great, or extensive the p rp and such n roduction may be, such is the nature of these laws, their power, that they canabsorb the industry of nations in their grasp ; and like Alexander the Great, regret that they have not more to consume. It is to these laws that we must trace a famine in 1 the midst of abundance ; and a variety of disorders that frequently occur to disorganize the commercial and industrious c lasses of the Community. These laws are now exerc isin g !heir influence over the most, wealthy and industrious classes of - this king dooms ; and will finally succeed in throwing thou sands of our most skilful artizans out of employ. , If we look to the m anufacturin g d istricts , what is 1 the state of things there I The mills in, and around man a es ter, Nve are told are working only forty hours per week. Do the well-to.do in life know : what this means ? At Bradford, the rates offered by purchasers for goods for exportation, are below the present coat of making. At Nottingham, the demand for hosiery for the home trade is completely stagnant ; and " shipping orders," says the Not tingham Journal, are like " angels visits, and far between." At Leicester, mills are working short time. This is an outline of our trade in textile fa brics ; but the same condition is felt in almost every other branch of industry which has not the same means of giving it publicity. Trade circulars of all branches continually speak of a " stagnant i rade," because prices for manufactured goods cannot be obtained. But why not? The whole secret of these low prices is found in a restriction of the.circulating medium, with an eipanded trade ; with raw mate rials advancing, and reduced wages vvrith dear : < -.

The following appears in yesterday's Moniteur " The Minister of the Interior has just addressed to the prefects the following circular : " Paris, May 30, 1857. "Monsieur le Prefet,—By the terms of the con stitution and the decree of May 29, the Legislative Corps, nominated in 1852, has finished its miss'on. The country is now about to elect its deputies anew. The Emperor calls to the ballot-box nin 3 millions of electors, and demands from all of them a free and loyal vote. In this case, for the guid ance of yourself and of others, it is necessary you should well know what the attitude of the govern ment will be, and what principles will direct its conduct. A strong and popular government says clearly what it thinks and what it wishes. As for the elections, what the Emperor desires is the free and sincere practice of universal suffrage. The electoral lists have been &awn up largely and liberally. Every one having the right has been able to get himself admitted upon them : 9,521,220 citizens have been registered in them. On the day of election the vote will be secret, and the ballot boxes will be opened in the sight of all. The truth. fulness and independence of the vote are therefore guaranteed. "In presence of this liberty assured to every body, and when candidates and electors can all pro claim their preference the government cannot alone remain mute and indifferent. It will clearly tell the country what names have its confidence and what seems to deserve the confidence of the people ; as it proposes the laws to the deputies, it will pro pose the candidates to the electors, and these will wake their choice. " Distinguishing themselves by a devotedness already old and tried, and rallying round a dy na-ty that constitutes the glory and safety of the country, a great number of men, eminent by their fortunes, their services, or the just consideration that surrounds them, have solicited the official can didateships. But France has not forgotten the words of the speech from the throne at the opening of the session of 1857. 'Since this session is the last of your legislative career,' said the Emperor to the deputies, 'permit me to thank you for the as sistance, so devoted and so active, that you have afforded me since 1852. You have proclaimed the empire ; you have taken a share in all those mea sures that have re-established crder and pros perity in the country ; you have energetically sustained me during the war ; you have shared my griefs during the epidemic and the scarcity ; you partook of my joy when Heaven gave me a glorious peace and a well-beloved son ; your loyal co-ope ration has permitted me to establish in France a form of government based on popular will and interests. It was a difficult task to fulfill, and for which true patriotism was required, to accustom. the country to new institutions. To substitute for the license of the tribune, and the contests that led to the fall or rise of ministers, a free but calm and serious discussion, was a signal service ren dered to the country and to freedom itself, for liberty has no enemies more formidable than the excesses of passion and violence of speech.' . . . This striking testimony summed up six years of devotedness ; therefore, saving some exceptions commanded by special necessities, the government has deemed it just and politic to present for re election all the members of an assombly which ha t so ably seconded the Emperor and served the country. " In the face of these candidateships openly ac knowledged and resolutely sustained, the opponent candidateships may freely come forward. " Our legislation respecting the distribution of the Toting tickets has lately been calumniated, nevertheless the rules upon that subject are simple and liberal. During the 20 days preceding the election every candidate that shall have submitted to the formality of legally depositing a copy, signed by himself, of his circulars, profession of faith, or voting tickets, will be able, without the need of any other authorisation, to have them advertised and distributed in perfect liberty ; every elector who, not satisfied with writing his vote, or causing his vote to be written, and thus exercising his in dividual right, shall be desirous of making a can didateship known, may freely distribute the voting tickets for it, if upon one of these tickets, legally deposited, the signature of the candidate records his assent. Assuredly, with these conditions, it may be said that the party proposingto be elected, and the elector, will have complete freedom, the one to come forward, the other to express his choice, and propose him to his fellow-citizens. If, nevertheless, the enemies of the public peace should think to find in this latitude an opportunity of making a seditious protest against our institutions„ if they should attempt to convert into an instra rneut of disorder or scandal, you know your duties, Monsieur le Prefet, and justice would also know how not less severely to perform hers. But thes exces , e4 w'll not take place ; should they he at tempted, their suppression will inflict no injury the freedom of universal suffrage ; thrice conse crated by him, the Emperor always invokes it with co nfidence Vhen in 1851 and 1852 eight millions of votes delivered to him the crown and the de-ti nies of the country, there was in that remarkable vote the love blended with pr'sle which France experienced at the very bottom of her heart for the dynasty of the Napoleons. Between her and them there was the feeling of an indis soluble union of glory and misfortune ; there was also the fear of anarchy and the hope of a strong government friendly to the people. At the present day there is the same popular prestige around the Buonapartes, but for more than six years there has been a fruitful arid glorious admin. istration, the palms of war and the fruits of peac e , an" immense material prosperity enhanced by a wonderful sentiment of our national greatness. The reality has surpassed the hopes. Such results, which ought to cuonndveirnscteandy the uni loyalteall labourerselevated minds fo are perfectly our That o g f re u a n t i m ve a r s s s a o l f s l u a ff b r o a r g io s ir b s a m ve en a fields, and by the intelligent wo r k men o f our t owns . wpofhrofooundrm thconvic tion both of the incessant care of the Emperor for themselves, and of the great things which be is doing for the country. Call them all to the ballot box, Monsieur le Prefect ; they made the Empire, and they love it ; they would incase of need know how to defend it. Full of confidence in the man of their choice, they rely upon him, and would wil lingly abstain from taking part in the voting, which in the regular working of the constitution is periodically required of them ; urge them to come and name their deputies : be sure and tell then; the mass gthof more that government which r i s v n o e t e c s e s t s b a e ry f t u o l prove l stren once which they haVe founded.
