MR. HOWARD, burgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet street, has introduced an entirely new description of ARTI FICIAL TEETH ,fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the nataral teeth as not to be distinguished from the original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication ; and that Mr. Howard's improvement may be within the reach of the most econo mical, he has fixed the charges at the lowest scale possible.

To which are added remarks on the wonders of the Microscope in revealing the hidden mysteries "of Life wit bin Life," and its advantages in detecting, by urinary examination, the cause and effect of every variety of these complaints, with numeirous engravings and cases. BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, - - Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apethecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. 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 ether class of disease I , ;nown 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 entitled. It Is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of persona', management which cannot be violated with ent incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, Ivaw the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the 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 apply a cure.

Then we have deputations to the Governors, threats that if something:" is not done the whole trade of the country will be brought to a stand, and an outcry, of course successful after the requisite amount of alarm has been created, for the suspension of the Bank Charter Act. If, however, the example of 1847 had never been set, and these persons had been taught to feel that, happen what might, the laws of the country=: is the full knowledge of which they had undertaken all their operations—would be rigidly kept invio late, not only would the public never have been disturbed by predictions of coming ruin, but every safeguard that ingenuity could devise would have been secretly prepared to provide for any casualty. If the discount-houses and any of the joint-stock banks apprehended a withdrawal of their deposits , to an extent to cause public inconvenience, it was their business to make common cause to guarantee each other's safety, and, if any nominal or contin gent suspension were necessary, to bear the discre dit of it themselves, and not to inflict it on the Bank of England and the country. They could have announced to the public that a run being threatened they had combined to mitigate its con sequences ; that, not being able to foresee its pOs sible extent, they had agreed to suspend for the moment any return of deposits, and that to meet the difficulty they would issue their promissory notes at three months bearing 9 per cent. interest, and secured by their common liability. A meet ing of all the principal bankers arid merchants, in cluding the governors and directors of the Bank of England, might have expressed approval of the wisdom of their course, and before p. few weeks had passed these notes would have been at a premium. But, unquestionably, the character of the issuers would have been damaged, since the fact of their having been obliged to resort to such a method would have fixed them in their right position in re lation to the causes that had led to it. If any cha racter was to be damaged, it was much more plea sant that it should be that of the Bank of England, the country, and the Government, and, thanks to the complaisance of the latter, they have suc ceeded in puttin g it on that footing. To be sure they took care that matters should go to a point at which the Cabinet would have little choice. There was, however, an alternative which, although equally unjust in being an act of Government relief for which there was no true claim, would still have prevented a sacrifice of principle. An issue of one pound notes could have been adopted without any infringement of the doctrines on which the Bank Charter Act is grounded. The fact that the per mission for the circulation of such notes terminated in 1820 is not material, as the law could have been set aside on one point as easily as ou another. This plan, however, seems not even to have been conci dered. After ton years' experience, therefore, and all theenlig,htenmeut that was thought to have been attained, we have thrown back at once to the dis creditable position we occupied in the last crisi , , and all the admirable conduct of the Bank of Eng land and of the respectable mercantile public has been rewarded by a proclamation to every specu lator or reckless money-lender who may choose to disregard the plainest principles of monetary science, th it he will always find his safety in the very penic which his own misconduct has promoted, and that the only persons who will be brought to disappoint ment or confusion will be those who have prudently guided themselves by the law, and have relied throughout upon its inviolability. (From the Morning Post City Article.) The scene witnessed at the discount department of the Bank to-day was of the most exciting charac ter. The pressure for accommodation was general, and the applications, numerous as they were, re ceived attention, but the very extreme rates had to be enforced. As the weekly board is held on Thursday, much anxiety was manifested to become acquainted with the resolution, if any, adopted by the Bank directors. The sitting was very protracted, and, consequently, apprehensions were aroused lest further restrictions might be attempted ; but shortly after three o'clock p.m. it was an nounced that the rate would cmtinue at 10 per cent. No intimation had then been afforded of the probable appearance of a Government letter, but the azsurauce that the rate would not for the present move above the fixed minimum was cal culated to ease the anxiety which had previously been manifested. During the afternoon it was con fidently asserted that the Treasury authorities wer prepared to afford relief, and the intimation to titat, effect was shortly afterwards conveyed in official form to the Bank and to the Stock Exchange. Money out of doors was certainly less difficult to obtain when the circumstance transpired, and there was more readiness to extend assistance im mediately it was found that the Premier and the Chancellor of the Exchequer were impressed with the actual importance of the crisis. Although in Lombard-street the demand was great, and not readily respondedto throughout the day the brokers exhibited increased liberality towards the close of the afternoon. As illustrating the terms obtained through discount operations, it may be mentioned that a merchant to-day, in negotiating a bill of four months' date given by one of our best and most flourishing companies, had to pay 131 per cent. for the accommodation. Some of the brokers, it appears, have refused to deal with any paper ex cept at 10 per cent. and 1 per cent. commission. Facts of this description corroborate in their full sense the severity of the pressure in every depart meet (From the Times) At a late hour yesterday afternoon the commer cial public received the news that the Bank Char ter Act had been suspended. The Bank is thus allowed by Government to issue an excess of notes not defined in value, and a promise is given that a Bill of Indemnity will be introduced in the next sessiou of Parliament to free the Bank from the consequences of its conduct, should it be necessary to take advantage of the permission of Govern ment. On the merits of this step we will say but little. It may be consistent with the maxims of political economy to regulate the issue of notes during ordinary times, and thus to check rash speculation and the embarkation in business of men destitute of capital, while when an actual dearth of money prevails, the ohief banking insti tution of the country may be allowed to extend its issue of notes under a public guarantee. But if such is to be the principle of our monetary system, the sooner it is embodied into a law the better. If the Bank is to exceed its legal issue of notes as often as its rate of discount is necessarily raised above a certain point, then an Act of Parliament should establish the practice on sound and intelligi ble principles. The commercial interests of the country should not be subjected to a system by which a law is obeyed as long as obedience is easy, and temporarily swept away as often as pressure or panic suyervenes. The houses which in 1847 and in 1857 have stopped payment before the relaxation of the law may well complain that,twhile they have been crushed by the operation of the Bank Charter Act, others not more solvent or of higher standing than themselves have been saved by the suspension of it. Whether the Bank avails itself of the privilege accorded tp it or not, the in vasion of the law is the same, and those who, trust ing to its inviolability, prudently suspended their payments now find themselves placed at a dis advantage in respect to those whom boldness or good fortune encouraged to hold on a day or two longer. We can well imagine that only the representa tion that great commercial calamities were about to take place has determined the Government to act so bold a part How much they feel the import ance of the step is proved by what we have now to announce—that it has been resolved to call Parlia ment together at once, in order to settle the ques tions raised by the present crisis, and to register for Ministers and the Bank Directors that indemnity for which they are obl i g ed to appeal, A Council will, we understand, be held next Monday, at which probably Parliament will be summoned to- meet at the end of 14 days. re ar e ourselves for a violent We may certainly p attack on the English monetary system as estab lished by the Bank Act of 1844. All the theorists of all the schools of currency will beready to pounce on what seems the c arcass of a dead law.in deed, they will have much that is plausible and not a little that is true on their side. The law is a fair weather law, a law for times of steady trading and easy credit ; its provisions are like the pasteboard defences of the Chinese—strong to look at, painted with heavy masses of stones and guns of enormous power,. but in reality a weakness and a sham. Such will be the reasoning of the partisans of inconver tible paper or uncontrolled banks. The defenders of the existing system will, on the other hand, have to face the fact that the act has been twice suspended in two successive panie4. What better proof, it would seem, that the law does not provide foe that very condition of things in expectation of which it was framed ? At this moment, when the pressure seems about to cease, when the Indian L mutiny is broken and the American disasters draw. „........... ....e.„ -- ,...„ ,-- ./..2 LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 13, 1857. THE LIVERPOOL BOROUGH BANK. LIVERPOOL, Nov. 12. The adjourned general meeting of shareholders was held at the bank this afternoon. The represen tatives of the press were not admitted, but our cor respondent has been furnished with the following copy of the official minutes : " At an adjourned general meeting of the proprietors of the Liverpool Borough Bank, held on Nov. 12, 1857, at the bank in Water-street, "Mr. W. Rathbone, chairman of the bank, in the chair, " Present-100 persons holding 37,924 shares, and proxies were banded in for 37 persons holding 22,021 shares. "The minutes of the proceedings at the general meet ing, held on the 10th inst., were read and confirmed. " The Chairman mentioned that it was deemed expe dient to call another general meeting of the shareholders for the 24th inst., principally for the formal adoption and confirmation of the proceedings of this day, and that no tice of such meeting would be issued this evening. " The directors presented the following report to the shareholders, which was read : " ' Report of the Directors to the meeting of Share holders of the Liverpool Borough Bank, held at the bank on the 12th November, 1857. " Gentlemen,—Since the last report to the share holders at their annual meeting in July it became appa rent to the directors that the position of the bank in re spect to losses incurred and capital locked up and un available rendered it impossible to carry on the bank, except at the risk of being suddenly stopped by a run that might at any time ensue from the disclosure of these losses, even if the constant drain on its resources which seemed to have set in did not compel its suspension within a short period. It was therefore decided that it would be the wisest course to seek assistance in London. The state of the money market madeit extremely difficult to obtain this assistance, and the bank, after various pro tracted negociations, failed to secure it in time to prevent the necessttyof closing its doors at the moment when its efforts seemed to be successful. " ' It then became the duty of the directors to place themselves in such a position as would satisfy the shareholders, the creditors, and the public that they were doing everything that could be done for the inte rest of all concerned. Under the able advice of Mr. Field, whom they summoned from London to their assistance, they called together a large number of shareholders not previously connected with the manage ment of the bank to assist the directors by their advice and sanction in all the steps necessary and advisable to be taken. The chairman of the committee then formed by these shareholders will inform you more par ticularly of its proceedings, and the directors would only briefly state that it was further deemed desirable, under the advice of Mr. Field, to summon a meeting of the depositors, who elected a committee, with which the directors and the Committtee of Shareholders have since been in communication. " Mr. Brancker, chairman of the Committee of Shareholders, and Mr. Dixon, one of the managing di rectors, were deputed to go to London and open negotia tions with the bill brokers there ; the result is that the London billholders and a large proportion of the deposi tors have agreed to accept the terms of payment pro posed by the bank, viz., in instalments of 6, 12, 18 and 24 months, with 7 per cent. interest ; and there is every prospect that the remainder of the depositors and the few other bill holders who have yet to be communi cated with will fall in with the terms which so large a majority have already in this short space of time so readily acceded to. " To provide against the possibility of angry feelings exciting shareholders and creditors to a course of action which, though natural in its motives, might lead to re sults exceedingly detrimental to the interests of all con cerned, creditors as well as shareholders, the directors adopted the suggestion of appointing mediators, who might step in to calm irritation, and to point out the absolute necessity of all parties—shareholders, directors, and officers of the bank—uniting in one general effort of cordial co-operation to make such a settlement with the creditors of the bark as would be most conducive to the interests of shareholders, whose forbearance in seek ing the fullest information that can be afforded is only desired in so far and so long as the exercise of it is abso lutely necessary for their own interests. Mr. George Holt, Mr. James Robinson, Mr. Ed ward Moon, and Mr. James Aikin have kindly consented to accept the office of mediators, and the directors have only to expiess the wish that their kindness in so accepting an onerous duty for the sake of the good results to the welfare of all connected with the bank may be reciprocated as it desei yes by the determination to make the call for their good offices as little needed as possible. " With referenee to the pecuniary position of the bank the directors have to state that more than one-fourth of the capital is gone—an amount which under the deed renders it imperative upon them to give the shareholders the option of winding up the affairs of the bank, and that three-fourths of the capital is so locked np as to be at present unavailable for banking purposes. These are r t e he only g, ?r ds `Withht w e o points roebflercetn co thateftthoe the is reesgeenn essential teral a to state as far as meeting. ff s of the bank the directors need hardly state that it is at all times ex tremely difficult to arrive atconolusions that will convey reliable impressions as to the probable results of winding up of matters involving such very large amounts, especi ally at a time when the varying aspect of the money-mar ket and the occurrence of unexpected commercial diffi culties of unexampled intensity bring new elements of embarrassment into play. They consider, however, that they have ground to hope that a portion of the capital may be preserved ; the amount so preserved will mainly depend upon the good management and judicious nur sing of assets, which the arrangement now proposed will enable those gentlemen to exercise who are about to take charge of the bank's affairs " The resolutions which will be submitted for your adoption have for their object the voluntary winding up of the bank under and in accordance with the provisions of the act of 1857, which was framed with the intention of leaving the conduct of affairs in the hands of share holders themselves, subject only to the interference of the Court of Chancery when it is required to compel an inconsiderable minority of shareholders or creditors to yield to the wishes of a majority, and to arm the com pany with sufficient power to enforce on reluctant share holders a compliance with calls made on them in order to enable the bank to discharge its liabilities. " The directors are happy to inform you that the re gistration of the company resolved on last Tuesday i s now completed. " Having thus laid before you a statement of the e p u r o n l c s e t e a d n i e n egss which f h h i t eh e h d a it v r rectors c givenrs w r s t e h reference to this e t e o t n t the ci r and having indicated the steps proposed to you in the pre sent posture of affairs, the directors beg to refer to what c w e i n e i tstteaet of s b n y a r M e h r ei d B k e r r s a , n a c nd e r In t h w e h a ci t h aof the Mr. Harwood Banner may wish to say. Mr."L `Liverpool 0 8 l Borough rancke " r : Chairman. Nov. 2. ers' Committee, then presented the following re port on behalf of the committee, which was read:— BW ch in a k ir: LA a iT l: chairman of Sharehold ers' The Committee of Shareholders of the Liverpool Borough Bank, informally appointed, no doubt, but pre senting at the time, as has been since eminently proved, the instrument most ready at hand, under all circum stances, best calculated to aid the directors in deciding on such measures as the urgency of the circumstances required, beg to present the following report : "`After agreeing on a recommendation to the direc tors to convene a meeting of the shareholders, the com mittee proceeded to take into consideration the best m vedhbwooaioh o tnsl woi d vescre e i haldtdoh o e:nae f rftgsr.a a hstet p eheiiotot p enson r ab o smoae a otui l mgbwl h kdeheo l i n tnwrd g pegbeoai t utsi hnlhonedei reasonably s c acepp r oberp e oni coy d rfstbo i eetaptdvoboeititssetoaaeolol successive fbudpii importance h cfcepere e t oresoe sar b dttiti a hhvai n teseenher t al , apes i e n wtBrt ohi o w ere raed hehcas settlementi cre ditors ctaenwhot.. of their claims. " After some mature deliberation it was decided to recommend the payment in cash of all deposits under 2001, no soon as the directors should be in a position to do so, and to offer to all the other creditors of the bank alike the bank's promissory note at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months' date, with interest at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum. Onerous as this latter condition may appear, it was only with great difficulty that a large and influential portion of the creditors could be brought to give their assent to it. That difficulty having, how ever, been overcome, and a large number representing in amount nearly three fourths of the whole having now acceeded to the propositions, it may be fairly as sumed that they bear upon them the stamp of reason ableness, both in respect of the creditors and of the shareholders. " It is further hoped that the unanimity exhibited at the meeting of Tuesday and the determination evinced to proceed with the liquidation of the bank's affairs in the best possible manner will not be without its effect in influencing such creditors as have not yet assented to come into the arrangement. " The Sub-Com — mittee of the Shareholders' Com mittee having had a somewhat more intimate access to the bank's affairs, it may be expected that this report should contain some allusion to it. "' So far as the shortness of the time they have been able to devote to the inquiry and their previous utter ignorance as to the real state of the accounts will admit of their arriving at any conclusioa whatever, they ven ture to e x p ress t h e i r op i n i on that of not only the 2 original capital of the bank, but also of the assets held by them, a considerable portion is so locked up in various kinds of securities that much time, great forbearance, and good management will be required to insure their advantage ous realisation, and that upon the due combination of these several elements will mainly depend the eventual result as regards the original capital of the bank. " Such being the case, and the bank being about to issue its obligations to its creditors, as before st ate d, it become s i mperative on the Shareholders' Committee, in order to insure the punctual fulfilment of those obliga tions, to recommend to the directors to make a call on the shareholde rs • indeed, this condition h a d b een already insisted on by the ' creditors. They trust, however, that the dates for its pay. ment may be arranged so that, while securing the object which renders it necessary, it may be made to press with as little severity as possible on the shareholders. " The meeting ot Tuesday having passed a resolution to place the company usder the Joint-Stock Companies Act of 1857, •ertain other resolutions requisite to carry out fully the objects for which that course was adopted will be proposed to the adjourned meeting to-day. Should the shareholders, as they will see it to be their interest to do, approve them, the functions of this cm mittee will naturally cease, unless it should be the plea sure of the shareholders to ask for their further services. " The committee have been too fully oocupied to allow of their going into any inquiry as to the origin of the present difficulties, feeling likewise that the time bad not arrived for such an investigation. Whether it shall be the pleasure of the shareholders to institute it through them, or otherwise, must be left a subject for further consideration. " The committee cannot, however, conclude the report without expressing the approval of the manner in which the directors of the bank have received the various suggestions and recommendations they have made to them from time to time, and of the realiness with which they have during the whole period of their joint action afforded to the committee every information in their power on the different subjects to which their attention has been directed. " JOHN B. BRANCKER, " Chairman of the Committee of Shareholders.' " The report of the accounts of Messrs. H. Banner and Son was next read. It stated that they had compiled a statement of the affairs of the bank, but the committee, their legal advisers (Lace and Co.), td Mr. Field wer e o f ()pinion that it was not to o interest of the shareholders that that statement should be read. The interests of the shareholders depended upon two matters..-first, on the necessity of neither doing nor saying anything which might directly or indirectly touch the position of any par ties who have engagements with the bank, espe cially in a case like this where there is a large quan tity of paper bearing the bank endorsement which ought to be met by the parties primarily liable upon it ; and, secondly, that the assets have been valued at the present depreciated rate of such securities in the market—rates which, in realising, it is hoped will be exceeded • but any statement of those valua tions could tend, making known the depreciation at which they have been taken, to operate against what is considered the intrinsic value of the respective properties, such value, as, in fact, in improved times would certainly in most cases be obtained. A large portion of these assets consist of securities of various kinds, in land, in ships—some few in shares and other matters. To get the valuations of these securities as correctly and as safely as possible, it obtained the assistance of Mr. Culshaw and Mr. Lamport, whose estimates are formed upon the present depreciated value of the different properties submitted to them. It will be understood that such valuations can little be de pended upon all the prices which might be obtained when mercan . ile matters settled do t", n again to their accustomed course ; and it will also be well under stood how largely the circumstances of the times have operated against the interests of the share holders, both as regards the value of the property which they hold, and the increase in the liabilities of the bank, which latter has almost daily been tak ing place by the suspension of mercantile houses with engagements bearing its endorsement. The estimate of these engagements is large certainly ; but, after all, it is merely an estimate, and it is quite impossible to say whether or not the amount may be exceeded, and to what extent. "Into the accounts upon which the losses have oc curred" continues the report, "I have not had time to enter closely. They have moat of them been curreat upon the books of the bank for some years, and I see that large amounts have been written off from time to time to the debit of profit and loss, the sum of 371,1781. 19s. ld. having been written off between June, 1854, the year in which Sir. Oliver stopped, and the same time in 1857. Covering a period of four years only it has been thought, and probably with reason, that one or two prosperous years would place these accounts upon a legitimate footing, and meantime the business of the bank was so large and the real profit so great that any deficiency occurring might be made good out of the annually undivided portion of those profits. Unfortunately this project has not been realized, and the crisis which has now come upon this institution has been in its consequences, and still is, most disastrous. In conclusion I have to say that I have thought it right to the proprietors to examine the accounts of the direc tors and managers. The latter have always been in credit, and of the former two only have overdrawn ha lands—one is oovpre4 .to a considerable extent, and more than this differmiie is now about being brought in in cash, the other will, doubtless, shortly be arranged. I find that Mr. Smith, the late manager, was a purchaser of shares as lately as May last, the prim, paid being 101. 6s. 3d. per share ; and your respected chairman has been a purchaser still more recently. I find also that the only shares held by the directors which have changed hands for many years were a small lot transferred by one director to another in Feb., 1856. "HARMOOD W. BANNER, Aocountant."

"5. That the thanks of this meeting be offered to Mr. Holt, Mr. Robinson, Mr. Aikin, and MrlE. Moon for Consenting on the requisition of the directors and the committee of shareholders to act as mediators in all questions arising between the bank and its creditors, and between the shareholders iu the bank inter se, and that they be requested to continue to give the bank the of their valuable services in the earns capacity. 6.

"7. That having regard to the circumstances men tioned in the last resolution, all the proprietors of the company present at this meeting require that the com pany be forthwith dissolved, and declare that the same stands and is dissolved accordingly, subject, neverthe less, to the provision s of the deed of settlement of the company, and of the Joint-Stock Banking Companies Act, 1857, whereby it is provided that for the purpose of winding up the company its corporate estate and all its corporate powers shall continue. o 8.

That the liquidators be requested to consult from time to time with the directors' and the sharehol ders' committee as to the best mode of dealing with the interests of the bank, and, as far as they find they can properly do so, to carry out the winding.up of the affairs of the company with the sanction and concurrence of these bodies.

" 14. That this meeting approves an arrangement being made with the creditors of the company, and authorises the liquidators to settle with the creditors on the following terms and conditions, that is to say— " 1. That all creditors upon deposit or open account, other than shareholders, for sums not exceeding 2001. be forthwith paid in full, "2. That all creditors upon deposit or open account other than shareholders, for sums exceeding 2001. be paid by four equal instalments, to 'be scoured by the pro missory notes of the company, payable respectively, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months, from the 27th day of Oct., 1857, with interest from that date at the rate of 71. per cent. per annum. "3. That the holders of bills bearing the liability of the bank shall be entitled, if they require it, to the pro. missory notes of the bank for the amount of their unpaid bills for the time being, or such part thereof as they shall require, such promissory notes to mature at 6 , 12 , 18, and 2imoaths, from the said 27th day of October, in equal instalments of ss. in the pound each, with interest at 71. per cent. per annum, to be computed from the maturity of the bills in respect of which such notes are given. The bank is to have the right of redeeming such promissory notes before the same become due in whole, or in sums of not less than is. in the pound, on giving notice the holders of their desire so to do, on condition that the unpaid bills for which such promissory notes shall be given shall be delivered to, the bank upon trust for the benefit of the parties delivering the same, and in order that the bank as their agent may collect the amount thereof from the other parties thereto, but not so as to divest the legal property of the holders in such bills, such collection to be made by the bank to the best of their judgment, and all sums of money collected by the bank from the other parties to such bills shall be immediately applied in liquidation of the promissory notes given by the bank in lieu of such bills which have the longest time to run, the bank to be credited in ac count with the holders of such notes with interest at the rate of 71. per cent, per annum on the moneys so paid, and the holders of the bills are to have the right of re quiring the re-delivery of such bills, or any of them, on returning to the bank their promissory notes received against them ; but the bills so re-delivered are to he subject to such arrangements as the bank may have made in the meantime with the parties liable thereon. "4. That shareholders who are creditors upon deposit, on open account, are not to receive the amount of their credit until all their liabilities to the bank and the bank's liabilities to the public have been liquidated. " 5. That depositors and other creditors having hills running with the hank under discount are not to receive promissory notes for the sums due them until the bank is satisfied of the safety of such bills. "6. That the acceptances of the bank given out against credits are to be paid at maturity if the liquidates shall deem it safe and advantageous to the bank to do so. " 7. That upon the realisation by the bank of any se curities deposited with the bank against any particular bill or bills the proceeds thereof shall be applied imme diately as received towards the liquidation of such bill or bills ; and in case of the bank having given their pro missory notes against such bill or bills to the holders thereof, then the proceeds shall be applied towards such of the said promissory notes then current as shall have the shortest time to run. " 8. That dividends and interest shall be paid to the holders of bills who may be entitled to promissory notes but who may not require the same, or who may have returned their promissory notes to the bank in like man ner as if such notes had not been given or had not been returned. " 9. That the chief basis of the settlement with the creditors of the bank hereby authorised is, that calls amounting to 51. per share shall be made on the share holders as soon as the law will permit, and shall be en forced with all reasonable speed. " 10 That in passing this resolution the shareholders reserve to the liquidators the power to exclude any creditor who shall not signify his assent to the settlement hereby authorised by a day to be fixed by the liquidators and by the creditors' committee from receiving a higher rate of interest than the law would award. " 15. That this meeting request the creditors of the bank to continue the present or some other committee to represent them during the winding up of the affairs of the bank. " 16. That, inasmuch as interest, at the rate of 71. per cent, per annum is to be allowed to the creditors of the bank, the like rate of interest shall be adopted in the settlement of all accounts between the shareholders and the bank, and shall be computed from the 27th October, 1857. All balances due to or from any shareholder on banking account are to be transferred as of the afore said day to his shareholder's account, and to be dealt with accordingly." THE MONEY CRISIS. (From the Times' City Article.) The Bank Charter Act is abrogated. Its fate at the second time of trial has been the same as at the first. The English Government have resorted to the notification that the Bank are authorised to ex tend their issues on approved securities without regard to the amount of bullion in their vaults, at a rate of not less than 10 per cent. Although the announcement will give immense relief from fears which were rapidly spreading, there can scarcely be au Englishman who will not receive it with deep regret from the humiliation it involves. It must have resulted from one of two causes—either blind fright or an inherently un healthy condition of business which prevented our merchants from sustaining themselves against a rate of discount such as is borne at Paris, Hamburg, and a number of other centres of commerce. In either case the conclusion is equally lowering to our fame as a mercantile nation. It is satisfactory to believe that the measure was neither asked for nor recommended by the Directors of the Bank of England, or any delegated representatives of the leading mercantile or banking firms. At the same time, in justice to the Government, it must be ad mitted that the period had obviously arrived when protective steps of some kind had become absolutely necessary. The position of the Bank of England and the private banks was never one of higher con. fidence, but the apprehension was evident on all sides that a withdrawal of deposits from the dis count houses and joint-stock banks might com mence at any instant and totally cripple their power to continue further accommodation ; that the Bank of England, from the point to which their reserve has been brought by the sudden sweeping away of nearly two millions of gold for Ireland and Scotland, could in such case afford no adequate help, and consequently that if a resistless panic was not to be considered as having actually commenced, we were in a position in which no one would calcu late on its being kept off even for a single hour. But there were remedies available other than that of breaking and destroying the law—for a law which has been condemned on each occasion of trial must be looked upon as destroyed. The state to which we had come had not been brought about by any fault of the Government or of the community at large, and it was for those who had occasioned it to find their own means of extrication. They did not look about for those means, because they knew they could obtain relief elsewhere. If this conviction animated them they would long before the present week have concerted measures for de fence. The whole history of our situation is plain. For years past certain provincial joint-stock banks have gambled to an incredible amount by means of what are termed re-discounts—that is, with a limited capital they have granted accommodation to an almost unlimited extent, sending the large proportion of the bills thus negotiated to the dis count establishments in London, who, in turn, discount them for the joint-stock bank on the strength chiefly of the indorsement of such bank, and not upon any careful estimate of the responsi bility of the drawers or acceptors, or the legiti mate character of the transactions they represent. " Of course we are safe with the indorsement of the Liverpool Borough Bank," is the cry. "The character of the business may be doubtful, but its shareholders are all liable to their last farthing." Again, " Why should we hesitate with the Western Bank of Scotland ? Among its proprietary are two or three names which are alone good for as many millions." But how is the money obtained which is thus freely granted by the London houses 7 The security relied upon is the ultimate responsibility of a certain number of shareholders scattered over a large district, and which, so far from having any thing in common with a sound banking security, is wholly unavailable in emergencies, and can never be realised except through protracted legal pro cesses ; but the money advanced consists of deposits lodged for the most part at call with the dis count houses, or at notice ranging perhaps to a month with the joint-stock banks. Here, then, is a deliberate breach of every recognised banking principle, and it is one that on each occasion of trouble has led to the same results. The London money-dealers cannot have been insensible to the peril ; but their practice is to carry on the system until its inevitAble consequences develops them- , ,e, ~~ L /~'!/ ~ ' ~% ~/~ C~'~2~lt 7 ,,`,Z--,- NEWSPAPER ----)l ins to a close, we have the Act whit . --- 1 --- , 1 4:: - X., . ikki "- -' c ° .

Yet as to the retention of the pre sent law we have not the slightest doubt. Its thorough supporters say that it is perfect for all times and all circumstances, and that its Present suspension is a weakness on the part of Govern ment, generated by an insane panic on the part of the people. But even those who admit that a time may come when the Bank should be allowezi to ex tend its issue may still uphold the Bank Charter Act as the law of the land. They may fairly argue that the suspension allowed by the Government yesterday was to save the country from returning to a state of barter. Gold is the measure of values, and, as long as it bears a sufficient relation to the transactions of the country, men may be required to make their payments in it, or in notes immedi ately convertible. But if from any sudden convul sion the metal falls short i is drawn away, and ex hausted at any spot, t cannot be expected that all the business at that spot is at once to cease. There remains money worth— lands and houses, cotton and sugar, wines and tobacco. All that is wanted to be able to ex press these in the currency which is the general standard of value. Gold ha s van i s h e d, b u t th e coun try has the material wealth which will bring it back again. All is a question of a few months, perhaps of a few weeks. It may in such a case be allowed to the Government to come to the rescue of the nation, by allowing a corporation which has a quasi national character, and is ruled by nationally imposed laws, to create fictitious standards of value, in'the shape of brink-notes which have no metallic representa tives. Such a proceeding, however, must be under stood to be an extraordinary proceeding, in which the community for its own good allows a certain establishment to exceed the limits of safe and legi timate dealing. In fact, the country must be con sidered as becoming security for the redemption of the extended issue, or, in other words, as itself issu ing a quantity of paper money by its agent, the Bank, in order that the business of the countrymay be conducted during the temporary abstraction of the usual currency. It is, therefore, no proof of the failure of the Bank Act that at certain times its restrictions should be suspended. In fact, this extension of issue should be considered as something superadded to the ordinary conditions of the Bank's existence. The Act of 1844 was passed to control the Bank, not to control the nation. Parliament decided, and we think wisely, that it would not in ordinary times trust one great corporation with the power of issuing an unlimited number of notes. This proceed ing is strictly in accordance with the regulations which control the issue of country banks and which restrain London banks from having any issue at all. Whether the amount of surplus allowed to the Bank be sufficient for the ordinary purposes of commerce is, of course, a question for discussion, but the prin ciple which establishes a restriction of some kind has been accepted by the nation in its general course of legislation. It still, however, may be com peterit to the country to remedy any abnormal deficiency of tho currency by an extraordinary issue, which the Bauk may be empowered to make, no., as it were, on its own accounT, but on account of the nation, which may regulate the amount issued and dispose of whatever profits may accrue by the transaction. This seems to us to be the defence for such an interference of the Government as has just taken place. The suspension of the Bank Act has nothing akin to the system which allows American establishments to flood the country with paper representing only a small percentage of capital, or perhaps no capital at all. It is the ex traordinary device rendered necessary by an extra , ordinary conjuncture, and when the necessity ceases the relaxation may cease too, Still the sus pension of a positive law is a grave matter, and may well uece .sitate a speedy appeal to Parliament e__- - D COMMERCIAL FAILURES. The suspension was announced this morning of Messrs. Wilson, Morgan, and Co., wholesale sta tioners, with liabilities estimated at about 40,0001. Annexed is the circular issued : " Cheapside, Nov. 12. " We regret to inform you that, owing to very serious losses of late, we have been compelled to suspend our payment=. " A statement of our affairs is being prepared, and will be submitted to a meeting of creditors which will be called in a few days.—We remain your obedient ser vants, "WILSON, MOaGAN, AND CO." The following circular also was issued by Messrs Fitch and Skeet, provision merchants, whose lia bilities are stwed at 55,0001., and who are since said to have obtained an extension from their credi tors, who have taken bills at two, four, and six months, to bear 5 per cent. interest " London, Nov. 11. " We regret to inform you, in consequence of the sus pension of Messrs. Sanderson, Sandeman, and Co., with whom we had lodged a large amount of bills for discount, and which they are unable to return or to discount, we are under the necessity of suspending our payments for a time. "Trusting soon to be able to make a more satisfactory communication,—We are, &c., " FITCH AND SKEET." At Liverpool the stoppage has taken place of Messrs. T. B. Coddington and Co., iron merchants, connected with New York. The Dundee Advertiser announces the failure of Messrs. Mackenzie, Ramsay, and Co., merchants, with liabilities to the amount of 60,0001. The North British Daily Mail states that the name of Messrs. J. Monteith and Co., merchants and calico printers of Glasgow, appears in the list of bankrupts in the Edinburgh Gazette of Tuesday. CAPTURE OF A KEN OP THE BEGGARS. ( From the Ban f fshire Journal.) On Saturday last, the 7th inst., Constable P. Milne, Alves District of the Elginshire Constabu lary, apprehended a bare-headed and bare-footed vagrant at Rhininver, about a mile west from the village of Dallas, in consequence of several com plamts lodged by several farmers through that parish, complaining against him for forcibly invad ing their houses, and refusing to leave them with out being served with money, &c. Milne conveyed him to Elgin, a distance of 13 miles, and, when brought to the police-office and interrogated as to his name and country, he stated his name was Joan or Shoe Campbell, from Strath Garloch, Ross shire. When asked if he had any money, he pro duced a few coppers, and exclaimed, " °rob, oich, oich ; no, no, no. She has no moneys but tat. Gich, no. No moneys. Very poor." The offi cers, however, were not satisfied with Mr. Shop's statement, and proceeded to search him, which he most determinedly resisted, and tried every dodge, and made every kind of excuse he could invent, before he would submit. However, all was of no use, and search him they would. On doing so they found that he had three waistcoats on. The pockets were all sewed up, and every one of them contained copper. Attached to every part of the linings on the breast of each was also a number of bags, all containing penny and halfpenny pieces, and when all were collected and put together, their gross weight was about 20 lbs. When counted, the sum amounted to 1/. ls. in penny pieces, and 17s. lid. in halfpenny pieces, amounting in all to 1/. 18s. lid., including the three halfpence produced by Mr. Campbell at the outset. Mr. Shon had a four-bushel bag on his back, which contained every kind of wearing apparel, and many other articles, which, when weighed after the search, were found to be upwards of nine stone weight, nearly the weight of a boll of meal, and had been carried by Campbell from Rhininver to Elgin, a distance of about 13 miles, in about four hours. Campbell states that he left his native place about the egin ning of harvest, or as h e says, when the cor b n was beginning to turn brown," and has; collected every article found in his possession since he came from the "ferry over west." The following is a list of some of the articles found in Mr. Campbell's travelling bag, viz. :—.B blue bonnets, 2 cocked do., 17 shirts, 19 pairs of stockings, 5 pairs of shoes z 11 pairs of trousers, 5 waistcoats, 3 coats, 16 pairs of braces (8 pairs of them new), 12 razors, 214 tobacco pipes, different sizes ; 33 snuff and tobacco boxes, all containing snuff or tobacco, less or more ; one pound and a half of tebacco, all in pieces of about an inch in length ; 32 shoemakers' awls, the one-half of them new, 28 darning needles, 400 buttons of different shapes and sizes, 9 dressing combs for the hair, &c. When Campbell was searched, and the money weighed and counted, it was put into one of his stockings, which it nearly I,=.lled to the head. He then squatted down upon the .door, and seized hold of the " moggan" (i.e., stocking), awl cried out, " My G—, the moneys, the moggan, him mogwganiti/ moggan," and fixed in every person aboutra could to keep tched with ili s his hands, teeth ri w d i d tl i i d his v everything i andngb:c correspondent) it possession of it ; but (says taken from him, and, and 50 years of ae the night.
