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 premature 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 physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is It le absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated with ( at incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may he removed, andhowtke evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot anply a care.

SisfauLan DaiTH.---A. most remarkable instance of fatality occurred near Pangbonrne on Friday. About mid-day police-constable Tramp, Berks constabulary, saw a sturdy-looking man begging from house to koisvai in the village, and ordered him to desist. The man pur sued bis occupation until he came to some cottages near the sixth milestone, under Shooter's-hill, when, upon the police-constable's farther interference, and threaten ing to take him into custody, the fellow swore that he would show him what an Irishman could do, and struck him violently in the face. A ecuffle 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 collar, aid 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 Sows close by the road, plunged into the water. He swam with all the ease of a water-spaniel, and struck out for the Oxfordshire side,loseing back occasionally at his lesified captor with a kind of defiant or scornful gesture. Trump shouted to two men at work on the Oxfordshire side to secure the fugitive, and hastened away for a boat at hand. He obtained assistance, and was proceeding across, when the two men shouted that the man was drowned, and coolly walked off am if nothing had hap pened. Upon police-constable Trump arriving at the bank he found that the poor wretch bad sunk within a very few yards of the shore, evidently from a sadden attack of cramp. In a very brief time the body was res cued from the water, hut life was extinct. Upon ea) dead man were toned a pocket-knife and a few coppers. —Berkshire Chronicle. THE LINEN TRADE IN IRELAND.—The latest news from New York and the United States, now celebrated for am there hopeful feeling pt consumption of British manufactures, has given to the two trades in the north of Ireland. Business has begun to fall into a better mode of operation, and slowly returning confidence gives its effect to general commerce.

Yesterday a detachment of the Royal Marine Light Infantry, to the nitmber of 124 non-com missioned officers and men, under the command of Captain T. P. 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. R cruits, to the number of nearly 200 men, ar rived at Chatham during yesterday and the pre vious day for the purpose of joining the Indian de pots attached to the three battalions of that garri son. Recruiting for the several East India regi ments is still proceeding vigorously. The average number of recruits arriving at Chatham for some weeks past has been about 400 per week, and in some weeks the number has been 700. About 100 skilled mechanics have also arrived at the head quarters of the Royal Sappers and Miners, Bromp ton Barracks, Chatham, for the purpose of joining that corps--Lmasons, smiths, carpenters, and other artisans being greatly required. 200 men were sent from the divisional head-quar ters of the Royal Marines at Gosport yesterday morninv, under the command of Captain Grogan, with Lieut. Nurse. This removal is consequent on the sickness (low fever) prevailing at Forton Bar racks. For the last fortnight about 10 men daily have been sent to Haslar Hospital. Major-General Wesley, Deputy Adjutant-General of the Royal Marine force, visited Gosport on Tuesday to in quire into the causes of the epidemic, and the me dical staff of Haslar are also investigating the mat ter. It is reported that the whole of the officers and men will -have to be removed from Forton for a time, should the sickness continue. The court-martial on Lieut. Burnaby, of H.M.S. Juno, re-assembled yesterday morning at 9 o'clock on board the St. Vincent, in Portsmouth Harbour, to deliberate upon the finding. The court remained cleared about three hours, at the expiration of which time it was re-opened, and the Judge-Advo cate recapitulated the charges : " 1. For having, on the 27th of March, 1856, be haved himself with contempt towards Capt. S. C. Fre mantle, his commanding officer, by performing an imper tinent and provoking action after receiving from his commanding officer instructions relative to certain ♦isi tors then on board the said ship, and by procrastinating the departure of the said visitors, he having been previ ously warned and perfectly aware of his commanding officer's anxiety to have the ship cleared of strangersand prepared for the duties of the following morning. "2. For having, on or about the 2d June, 1856, be haved himself with disrespect towards his commanding officer by going into his cabin with a frivolous grievance, and attempting to enter into altercation with and to cri• ticise the conduct of his commanding officer in a manner unbecoming a junior officer, with reference to a painted handkerchief, and to his own duties as senior lieutenant of the ship. •• 3. For having, on or about the 11th January, 1857, be; a►ed in a manner unbecoming the character of an officer by breaking his parole. " 4. For having, on or about the 15th January, 1857, acted in violation of the general printed instructionsand the custom of the service by forwarding to his command. ing-officer a remonstrance upon unjustifiable grounds, addressed to the Commander-in-Chief, in a covering 'eau- unnecessarily hasty and diotatorial." The Judge-Advocate continued—" The Court hav ing heard the evidence in support of the charges, and what the prisoner had to off( r in defence, is of opinion that the first, second, and third charges have not been proved against the said Lieut. Hugo Beaumont Burnaby, and that the fourth charge has also not been proved against him, as he had made two appli cations for leave on two successive days through the regular channel, the senior officer doing duty on board the Juno, previously to forwarding his letter to the Commander-in-Chief, under a proper cover ing letter to his captain. The Court acquits the prisoner, and further expresses its opinion that the evidence before it does not show sufficient grounds for preferring such charges against the said lieutenant, some of which are of so serious a nature." It is impossible to describe the satisfaction the result created in and out of court. These trials, two of which have come to nothing, and the first only to a reprimand, on officers who have long been imprisoned in their cabins, as it were, and sus pended from all duty and nearly from intercourse with their Inessmates, are a scandal to the navy ; but it is questionable whether the captain, who is so powerfully connected, will receive any censure from the Admiralty, notwithstanding the opinion of his conduct expressed at the end of the finding. The screw steam transport Leopold, for Kurra chee, with Capt. Bayly's and Major Grant's com panies of Royal Artillery, having also embarked a detachment of the 94th Regiment of theline, sailed yesterday morning from Woolwich pier, and will call at Portsmouth to receive Major Singleton's V field battery No. 1 of the 6th Battalion Royal Ar tillery. Lieut.-Colonel Montressor also embarked from Woolwich in command of the entire body, and was accompanied by Captain and Adjutant Higgin and Lieut. Newbolt, as staff officers. By general order from the Horse Guards, received yesterday at Woolwich, all officers of the garrison are invited to attend tho funeral of the Rev. Sandford Connor late assistant military chaplain to the Royal Artil lery, whose sudden death occurred on Sunday last. The funeral is directed to take place at 2 o'clock on Friday next. The funeral party ordered to attend will b© composed of 1 captain, 1 subaltern, and 100 rank and file from each corps in garrison—viz., the Rf4yal Artillery, Marines, Oxford and East Kent Militia, Military Train, drc.—total, 600 men. Capt. Gwyn, Lieut. Seymour, 3 sergeants, 3 cor porals, and 124 rank an dfile belonging to the Ports mouth Division of Royal Marine Light Infantry, arrived yesterday morning at Woolwich, their re moval having been ordered on medical report, as to the unhealthy state of the barracks at Portsmouth. 3 officers, 2 sergeants, 2 corporals, 2 drummers, and. 118 rank and file of the Royal Marines, left Wool wich yesterday morning for Chatham, to join her Majesty's screw steamship Renown, 91, about t ,s o form one of the Channel sq uadron.

On Tuesday morning 35 officers and 502 men of the Shropshire Regiment of Militia arrived at the North Wall, Dublin, in the steam vessels Prince and Trafalgar. The debarkation was effected with the greatest order, and the men at once proceeded to quarters at Richmond barracks. At half-past two o'clock p.m. on Tuesday 24 officers and 705 men of the Royal Antrim Rifles proceeded from the Royal Barracks, Dublin, where they had arrived a few hours previously from the Curragh Camp, to the North Wall, and embarked en board the Prince and Trafalgar, which had been chartered to convey them to Dover Castle. The Antrim Militia arrived at Liverpool yesterday, and the North Glocestershire Militia sailed from Liver pool for Dublin in the evening. TEE PROCTORIAL DISTURBANCES AT CAMBRIDGE The Hon. 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 were present. The charge was that when Boning had, by the proctor's orders, taken into custody a girl of light character, Mr. Osborne 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 i n t o a s h op t o snake a purchase, and, on coming out found the. girl in custody, whereupon he reroon3trated with the proctor, and, as his remon strance was not a tt en d e d t o, was p rovo k e d t o t h e assault complai ne d o f. The ben c h sen t ence d M r . Osborne t o pay a fine of 205., or be imprisoned for seven days. LIFE-BOAT SERVICES. ALDBOROUGH, SUFFOLK, NOV. 23.—A. vessel was sighted last week, about 7 o'clock in the morning, at some distance from the shore, by the coxswain of the life-boat of the Royal National Life-boat Institution, stationed at Aldborough, 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 been 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 hau'ing 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 sailed, and rowed a distance of 12 miles, when the life-boat approached the yes -el in distress, which proved to be the Eliza, of South Shields. The life- Lost' s crew fcund that she had been previously boarded by five men belonging to a fishing boat of Aldborough. On going alongside the life-beat'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 reach the disabled sh , p, 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 Insti tution. DURHAM UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. At a Convocation holden on Tuesday, Nov. 24, the following Degrees were conferred M.A. Rev. Wm. Skene, 8.A., University College. Rev. A. F. A. Woodford, 8.A., University Col. Honorary M.A. Thomas Sopwith. In presenting Mr. Sopwith to his degree, the Professor of Mathematics referred to the success with which Mr. iSopwith 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 'node's, conveying at once and perfectly 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 as 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 avitiled 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 success in prom , ,ting 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 House, to be a Member of Senate. The fdlowing Graces were passed " In the Election of Fellows there shall be asso c'ated with the Members of Senate a number of Fellows not exceeding four, taken in order of seni ority from those who, being Members of Convoca tion, have resided is the University for not le-is than two terms in the year immediately preceding the Election." In Sect. 7 of the Rsgulation4 for Medical Scholar ships passed Feb. 3, 1857, to substitute for, "The Medical Scholarships shall be tenable for three years," "The Medical Scholarships shall be tenable for four years," in agreement with the Grace passed June 17, 1856. A. Grace was passed for setting the University Seal to , a conveyance of land to the Stockton and Darlington Railway Cuu►pany, and to au agreement between the University and the Master and Brethren of Greatham Hospital. The House proceeded to the election of a Mem ber of Convocation to be a Member of Senate. At the close of the poll the warden announced the number of votes to be For the Rev. Wm. Greenwell, M.A. For the Rev. Jas. John Hornby, M.A. and declared the Rev. Win. Greenwell to be elected. THE NEW BELGIAN MINISTRY. Most of the journals contain remarks upon the political programme of the new Belgian ministry. The Constitutionnel says : . "If we may accept as capable of realisation all the promises contained in Rogier's ministerial circulnr, there is reason to hope that the crisis which commenced six months ago has entered into a pbass , of amelioration. The document appears to have been dictated by a spirit of great moderation, such as befits a party in the moment of success. Doubtless, the Belgian people will feel that this moderation should be the guide for its acts also, and that the electoral urn of Dec. 10 stands too near the throne to be made a rendezvous for fresh diesensioi a. 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 have 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 differ 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 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 tain names a significance which circumstances must have modified ' • we desire to take men for what they are to day, and for what they now wish to be. A cordial un derstanding between France and Belgium is a moral and political necessity." We read in the Patric : • • - - ---•- " The object of the circular is to reply to the manifesto of the Catholic party, and also to give a brief exposition of the policy of the new cabinet. The principal Com plaints of the Catholic party are reviewed add refuted with great firmness and rare moderation. As to the programme of the new ministry, it is, while perfectly appropriate and opportune as regards Belgium, of a most re-assuring nature for even the most susceptible opinions in France, it will be found very embarrassing to those who only seek to take objections." The Presse says : " The circular, by its frankness and perspicuity, seems to us calculated to attuin the double end aimed at by the new ministry—to rally the dissident liberals, and form one compact army to resist the common enemy ' • and to reassure timid, unreflecting, or credulous minds which have been made believe by the clerical party that Belgium is in the midst of a crisis endangering her nationality and her very political existence." The Siecle approves the circular, without re serve : "It is impossible to describe in a more dignified or moderate manner the situation in which the Liberal Ministry is placed by the retirement of the Catholic Ministry. It is impossible to state i❑ better terms the true question which the electors have to decide. A 1 those who would preserve those constitutive bast; of modern societies and government `the integrity of the rights of the State and the independence of the civil power,' will vote for the ministerial candidates. All who would maintain the Belgian constitution, the separation of Church and State,' will vote for the ministerial cantli. dates. All who desire not to see religion mixed up with psrty contentions, but to see it re,tored to its own pa cific domain, in order that it may regain universal re spect, will also vote for the ministerial candida.es. We feel a certain curiosity to see what our ultraniontane and legitimist contemporaries will say to this official document, but we are very certain that it will command the approbation of all sensible men in Europe." The journals alluded to by the Siecle say very little on the subject, but that little is, as might have been expected, widely different in tone from that of the opinions above cited from cur other contemporaries. The Univers says "The manifesto tells Us very little. It would appear, according to the Belgian Ministers, that toe integrity of the rights of the State and the indepndence of the civil power' are privileges of modern societies to which ancient gaieties had no pretensions. Bet against whom has the new Cabinet a mission to defend this integrity and this independence `The recent discuss'ons which have re 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 f.r the advent to power of M. Itogier and his eel leagues, Belgium would have fallen under the yoke of the Jesuit,. You Rill suppose, then, that the new Cabinet is to make war upon religion ? Oh dear no ! It is on the contrary full of lore and respect for religion. It is the Catholics only that cause contention. Such is the manifesto of the liberal ministry. It may be de soribed in two words - calumny and hypocrisy." 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 oar parts to see greater openness of heart. We should find it very difficult to say i❑ 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 as follows of the appoint ment of M. Chain-d'Est-Auge to the post of Pro cureur-General to the Imperial Court of Paris : " M. Cl aix-d'Elt-Ange's nomination has been bailed at the Palais with the greatest satisfaction. This dis tinguished man was called to the bar at a very early age, and speedily acquired for himself a brilliant position ; he was equally esteemed and beloved both by the bar anl the bench ; it was a pleasure to the judges to try any cause in which he 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 cu.- cninstances to maintain the independence necessary to his noble profession. We cannot forget that on two or three occasions, when the Assentlgee Nationale was pro limited, it found in M. Chain-d'Eat•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 Tribunata thus expresses itself oil 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 brilliant illustrations, and whose name will remain as one of its most glorious souvenirs, leave its ranks." THE EXPLOSION AT MATENCE. The German journals contain the following addi tional details on the late explosion at Mentz : "Thousands of foreigners have flocked to the city to witness the ravages caused by the late tremen dous explosion. Committees have been formed to collect subscriptions for the relief of the families of the killed and wounded. The number of houses completely destroyed amounts to 57, and of those more or less damaged, 64. There is, however, scarcely a house in the city that has not suffered some injury. All the magnificent coloured glass windows of the cathedral and of the church of St. Quentin are destroyed. The number of dead, as yet known, amounts to 17 civilians and 14 Prussian soldiers. The loss among the Austrian troops is not yet ascertained, and there is no doubt but that other bodies are still lying beneath the ruins. The number of Prussian soldiers wounded is between 80 and 90. The civi lians wounded or mutilated are counted by hun dreds. A soldier in garrison at Darmstadt, on being told of the explosion, hastened to Mentz and found all his family dead. One young man got out from under the ruins the body of his father and his two brothers. In addition to the 200 quintals of powder which were in the magazine, there were also in the building 700 charged shells and 240 firo balls. Fortunately, these latter all burnt out on the spot, for had they been thrown by the explo sion on the city, the whole place might have been set fire to. The corps of Austrian officers, 200 in number, had announced a carousel which was to have taken place near the magazine about the very ' time that the explosion took place, but happily the unfavourable state of the weather had caused the fete to be postponed." The Mentz Gazette of the 20th says :—" The Prus sian sentinel who was relieved just before the ex plosion saw an Austrian military rocket enter the m agazine, and did not see 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 mounting 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, beyond doubt that some one was in the magazine at the time of the explosion ; but as the Austrian colonel of artillery positively declares that no one had anything to do in the place, the man must have gone in without anylegitimate mo tive. It has been ascertained that a man belonging to the Austrian rocket brigade, named Wimmer, has been missing since the event." A letter from Munich, of the 20th, says that the King of Bavaria, on hearing of the catastophe at Mentz, gave orders that the large stores of gunpow der collected at Grunwald should be immediately divided amongst different places, and in consequence portions of it were at once despatehed to d l at The quantity collected at stadt and Mg Grunwald was estimated at 2,000 quintals. TELE SURVEY OF TsB ITALIAN COANT.—Ths hydrogra bleat survey of the coasts of Italy, which the French government is causing to be made, commenced this year i n Ap r il, being earlier 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. Is J u ly, surveys were made of the coasts of the Gulf of Naples from time environs of Portici to Cape Sotille, including the Isle of Capri. The Lipari isles, including Stromboli, the group of Panaria, land the cen tral group comprising Vulcan° and Salina were after. wards examined, and the existing charts were found to , La) i ncorrec t. surveyed.

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 Tidpoo Sahile, 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 writing table of the Duke of Retz, and various other objects of much interest. The Duke of Portland exhibits his celebrated dejeuner service, in bleu di& 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, dm. 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 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 north and south ; in jewellery there are very rich displays both by London and Edinburgh houses ; in pottery and glass the Staffordshire and metre. politan firms make a most attractive appearance, many new designs having been got up specially for this exhibition ; in textile fabrics there is a lLmited 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 holydayl. [PRIM 4D, STAMPED 5D .] COMMERCIAL FAILURES. Another large ( p P° r r ov n in t c h i e al n j m oi e.) n s t-stock bank has 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 capital is 652,8911., and there was professedly a reserve fund of 90,8741. The liabli ties are thought to be very great—probably not much lets than three millions—and 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 ofextensive coal mines. The head office is at Newcastle, and there are branches at Alnwick, Berwick, Hexham, Morpeth, North and South Shields, 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 cla-ises. 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 will be made by them, and also by other institutions, to mitigate the evil in this respect as far as possible. The bank was formerly a bank of issue , but of late it has adopted the circulation of the ank of England. In London this morning the suspension was an nounced of Messrs. Rehder and Boldemann, a young but respectable house in the German trade. It is thought their liabilities may be about 100,0001. Annexed is the circular issued : " 14, London-street, Nov. 25. " Gentlemen,—lt is with extreme regret we have to inform you that, in consequence of the failere of many houses upon whom we hold bills, we are compelled to suspend •ar payments. " We have placed our books in the hands of Messrs. Quilter, Ball, and Co., who will prepare a statement of our affairs, and lay the same before our creditors at the earliest opportunity. " We are, gentlemen, your obedient servant., " RENDER AND BOLDEMAWN." It is stated that Messrs. J. R. Thomson and Co., Cape merchants, who suspended on Friday last, with liabilities for 200,0001. or 300,0001., have obtained assistance from the Bank of England, and that they will resume business to-morrow or next day. At the time of their stoppage it was under stood that their assets, although nut immediately at hand, were sufficient to promise a surplus of 200,000/. THE WOIVERHAWPTON AND STAF FORDSHIRE BANK. At a meeting of the shareholders' committee on Tuesday the following resolution was moved by Mr. T. Bolton, seconded by Mr. Wynn, and car ried. une.niwously :—" That it is essenlial for the oz:intim - Lance of the b ,nk on a safe and permanent basis that a great effort be m - .de by the share holders generally to do all they can to place suffi cient funds in the hands of the executive, and that for that purpose a subscription list be opened, and that each shareholder be requested to subscribe an amount (in addition to the call of 5/. per share), for which notes of the bank shall be given, payable in two or three years, bearing inter e st a t 51. p er cent. Such notes to be redeemable by till bank on giving two months' notice ; or such notes to ba received in payment of any future calls, should such become necessary." A copy of the above, with the following circular annexed, hay been forwarded to every shareholder : " Wolverhampton and Staffordshire Bank, Noy. 23, 1857. " I beg to call your attention to tho annexed resolu tion passed at an adjourned meeting of the shareholders held this evening. I shall be glad to receive a letter from you stating whether you are willing to subscribe to the pros 6.ed fund, a d for what amount.—l an, &c., BIJPERT KETTLE, Hon. Sec. of the Shareholders' Committee.' Yesterday (Wednesday) it was stated in Wolver hampton that the creditors generally were signing the agreement to accept payment by fo r instal ments, as proposed by the directors, and adopted at the meeting on Tuesday. The beat feeling pre vails amongst all parties, and the impres•i^.n is that the bank will ro-open on Monday or Tuesday. THE UNION BANK OP LONDON. (Front a Correspondent of the Morning Advertiser.) Several reports having acquired considerable circula tion with reference to the Union Bank, we are enabled to supply tome particulars which may be deper.ded up , 1 as perfeotly reliable. There is no truth whatever in the reports that the bank has suffered by the commercial crisis in America—that it has hut a great Ameri can house in Old Broad-street 400,0001., —or that it has suffered a bee of 60,0001. by the alleged for geries of Might, 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 hag 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 t.) anything like the amount named. The facts of the case are thee. 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 month'. Securities, consisting for the most part of American bonds and other paper of the highest class, and far in excess of the accommodation required, were tendered, het 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 gua 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 basks ti be tenured in their turn by the acceptances of the American firm, and the deposit of securities with a margin of many bur.- dred Thousand pounds. The Union Bank agreed to find 150,000/..' not 400,0001., and the balance of the 800,0001. was guaranteed by the London Joint-Stock (with which the American firm keeps its account) and the Ott,iman Bank. The Union Bank, it is known, transacted the largest English agency business with America. They are the agents of Duncan, Spearman, 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 they 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 agent for a firm in Montreal, is a sufficient answer to the allegation. Of the soundness of the Union Bank, in common with the other great joint-stock establishments, there can be no doubt, although it is quite possible that the future dividends of those concerns will be declared in a spirit of greater caution. The facilities which the joint-stook banks haveafforded to the trading community, have, no doubt, mainly con• tributed to the present extraordinary crisis in the com mercial world. Overtraiing 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 cent., and the margin is far too small to enable a hank to pay its establishment charges and run the risk of hisses on disoount 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 Wet minister, the Union, and the joint-stock banks must amount to many thousands, and as no interest is allowed on balances below 1001., the consequence is that the banks can employ a co ns id era bl e portion of this money at the highest rate of interest prevailing at the time. The profits derived in this manner are however sensibly curtailed in mome n t s o f panic, and we believe we ar justified in stating that the directors of the leading • f mg jon _- stock banks, mindful of the necessity of a ' la - r . ger ret.erte to meet the demands of the class of small derettrrs made at moments of panic, will net for the future recom mend, a continuance of the heavy dividends and bonus's heretofore paid, until the reseved funds bears a juattr . proportion to the liabilities of the bank. (From, the The last return most remarkable aent since Paterson first concei ve d th e id ea of banking , in the year 1691. The notes i ssue d are stated a t 22,554,5951. Of this amount 1,148,185/. are in re serve, thus leaving the active circulation, exclusive of seven-day and other bills, 21,406,4101. But 2,000,000/. have been issued under the authority of the letter from the First Lord of the Treasury and the Chancellor of the Exchequer ; so that what may be regarded as the normal circulation at the present time is only 19,406,4101. Although 2,000,0001. notes have been added to the issue, it appears that even this amount alone has been insufficient tomeet 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 r , ached the totally unprecedented aggregate of more than 30,000,000/. From the amount added to the private deposits, it is evident that bankers and others borrowed more 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 hands of the Bank. The bullion was reduced to 6,484,0001., being nearly 2,000,0001. under the lowest point during the panic in Oet., 1847. It is thus evident that the Govern ment 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 wo 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 banking system to this, and permit the unrestricted establishment of bads of deposit and discount throughout the country, and we will have a machinery which can never be toned wanting in the time of pressure. This National Bank ought not to be permitted to discount, and should be obliged to issue notes of all denominations, 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 requiring these notes should be 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 establishment 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 three 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 requi r e c o uld not be com manded ; 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. One great argument in favour of our theory is, that it is thoroughly free trade in its principles, as it recognises no other law than that of the legitimate one of supply and demand. It is also eminently simple its machinery, and well cal culated to preserve a proper'and wholesome equi librium between capital and labour. Should the Government and Parlament not entertain this theory, of which, as we said before, we have little hope, we do trust that they will, at any rate, make the following essential improve ments on the present Act : let. Extend the issue of the Bank of England to at least 20,000,0001. 2d. Permit „ tho issue of notes in England (as in Scotland and Ireland) of all denominations, making IL the minimum. 3d. Constitute Bank of England and Bank of Irsland notes (or, at any rate, the former) a legal tender throughout the United Kingdom. 4th. Permit the establishment of an increased number of banks throughout the United Kingdom, proportionate with the increase of trade, duce the Act of 1844 was passed. THE SCOTCH BANKS. Since mir last, two large and influential meetings of the noblemen, merchants, and inhabitants of Glasgow have been held—one under the swims of the Dukes of Hamilton and Montrose, for the purpose of expressing confidence in the system of Scottish banking—the other. professedly a meeting of the depositors in the Western Bank of Scotland, hut apparently open to the public, with the same objects in view. Hitherto, the dcotch 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 csmei pe n ai t , tt o : c d t c il) theirer r stoppage t n o c p e high p s have, age h of reputationtho however, o w e e r, for st W ester n prudent ß unfortunately ankmofa n d Scot ls- and land and the City of Glasg ow 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, ?he liabilities of the establishment were s tated to; amount to 7, 670,0001., and the assets to 9,398,0001., showing a surplus in favour of the Bank of upwards of 1,700,0001., bat 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 one of these banks to the extent of several hundred thousand pounds ; when ho 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 dose t 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 insur ance, forms a nice little item in the expenses of the establishment. Here, then, is a sum, let us say, of 350,00 W., 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 inve s ti ga ti ons would be 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 of a much greater amount of good than any harm likely to result from it. A. special committee, 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,c,onasne °p and upon the failure of Strachan, Paul, Swtoacsk c ß as a t nk u s po o n f that the securities n andheld th e b rs y , t h s e u s i o c i i n o t n banks sovlderey pro perlycity, w p i u le b a lic t ly he directorsintimated t o o f then® th e ir sbhnare depositors that the se cur iti es th ey held were lli re a ad n y for their inspection at any time. Confidence wan thus immediately restored. If the directors of the Scotch banks had adopted a similar course, daring the l a t e exc it emen t, 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 written we do not cast a shadow of reproach upon the Scotch and Irish banking sys tem, as we have had long experience of its admi rable working, under prudent management.
