LITERARY NOTICES. The Church of England Quarterly Review. July, 1840. London : W. E. Painter, 342, Strand Under its new editorial management this admirable review is rapidly rising in popular favour. The articles in the pre sent number are of a very high order. " The Office of a Bishop" is an excellent review of four episcopal charges, severally delivered by the Bishops of London, Chester, Lin coln, and Salisbury. The writer has felt it necessary to comment with some severity on the opinions set forth on the subject of the article by the Oxford Traitorians. The splendid article on "National Education" is calculated to effect much good. It is replete with sound argument and apposite illustrations. The paper on " Canon and Statute Simony" is very important, and embraces a complete view of the subject. The critique on " Lord Brougham's De mosthenes" does ample justice to that singularly ignorant production. The comparison of the eloquence of " Bourda loue, Barrow, and Massillon," is exceedingly interesting. The facts and statements adduced to show the " Spiritual Destitution of New South Wales," are of a very melancholy character. " The State and Prospects of the Jews" are treated of in an article of great ability. " The Documentary Annals of the Anglican Church"—" The Present Position of Naval and Military Chaplains," and the " Ecclesiastical Report," will amply repay a careful the Scottish Kirk perusal Blackwood's Magazine. July, 1840. Edinburgh W. Blackwood and Sons. This is an admirable number. The continuation of " Ten Thousand a Year" was the first article to which we turned, and amply were we gratified by its perusal. It is decidedly one of the best tales that we have read for many years past. If brought out in numbers, with suitable illustrations, it would, we feel confident, command a very large circulation. The article on " Style" is exceedingly well written, and con tains some capital specimens by way of illustration. " A Chapter of Turkish History" is a highly interesting sketch. The essay on " Personification" is a truly philosophical pro duction. The author is evidently a man of deep thought and great powers of discrimination. The review of Alison's History of Europe" is very happily executed, and supplies some important statistical details. The notice of us wit' " Germany, by Charles Julius Weber," explains some curious traits in the character of our continental neighbours. The only political article in the present number of Blackwood is that on " Lord Stanley's Irish Registration' Bill." It con tains a sweeping exposure of the miserable, shuffling, and hypocritical policy of the present degraded administration. Fraser's Magazine. July, 1840. London : James Fraser, 215, Regent-street The first article in this number is a curious disquisition on " Occult Science," in which we are furnished with a detailed account of " The Elixir of Life, or, the Universal Remedy." The writer has, however, brought the essay to a somewhat abrupt conclusion. " Il Bondocani" is a powerfully written tale. " Here or there" is an agreeable melange, written in a position" will be found of great value to the practical farmer. The " Interesting Experiment on the Vegetative Power of Sea Sand in Morecambe Bay" merits attention on account of its singular results. The account of the " Progress of Agricultural Improvement," from the pen of Mr. Towers, is an elaborate production. Much good would arise from a strict observance of the suggestions offered in the short paper " On Correctly Reporting Experiments with artificial Manures." The essay on " The necessity of studying the Science of Field Entomology" treats of a subject of great importance, and one which has been hitherto too much neglected. The " Observations on the Excretory Powers of Plants," &c. are very curious. The remarks on " Geology and Agriculture" show the intimate connexion of these sub jects. The paper on " The Arrangement of Country Seats" offers some valuable suggestions. Under the head of " Facts and Opinions" we find some important practical directions on agricultural topics. The continuation of Mr. Donbavand's " Introduction to Practical and Economic Geology" will be read with interest. The Churchman. July, 1840. London : W. E. Painter The contents of this excellent magazine are of a very high character. The number before us has several original arti cles of great interest. The paper on the " Ministry of An gels" shows deep reflection, and breathes a spirit of fervent piety. The " Observations on Bishop Burnett's Characters of Edward the Sixth and of Queen Mary" display consider able historical research. The continuation of the essay on " Popular Superstitions"• is extremely curious. The ac count of " Christianity in China" is, at the present moment, deeply interesting, as is also the history of " The Syrian Church in Malabar." The elaborate critique on the writings of Lamartine, uader the head of " Sketches of Continental Literature," will amply repay the trouble of an attentive pe rusal. There are some striking facts adduced in the " Testi mony relating to the Early English Church." The answer to the Earl of Fitzwilliam's letter on the Corn Laws is a masterly composition. The Village Churchman. July, 1840. London: W. E Painter This cheap little periodical is an excellent ally to the more learned and expensive productions which emanate from Mr. Painter's press. It is calculated to be of great service to the labouring classes. This number contains much interesting matter. " The Pious Churchman's Sunday"—" Church Bells"—" Popular Objections against the Church of Eng land"—" Hints on Popery"—," Churoh of England Socie ties"—" The Bible," and " The Liturgy," are some of the most prominent and instructive articles. The Hand-Book of Health, or How to attain Old .Age, being sure and simple Remedies for the Preservation of Health and the Prevention of Disease. London : C. Mitchell, Red Lion-court, Fleet-street. This is an excellent little manual, explaining the grand and primary laws of nature and medical philosophy for the preservation of health and the prevention of disease. — It abounds in salutary advice on the subjects of temperance, cleanliness, air, exercise, change of scene, occupation or amusement, dress or clothing, and the incipient symptoms of disease. Its maxims of diet and regimen will be found of great value. BANKING TO THE PEOPLE OF GREAT BRITAIN EDINBURGH, JUNE 18, 1840.—1 have lately addressed you on the subject of the protection of agriculture, and I believe with approbation. I now to speak of what is termed Bankin g ; and my reason is, that after patiently rea di ng th e vas t var i e ty of essays upon this subject, and considering the various hints given of the proceedings of the secret committee of parliament, I have come to the conclusion, that the subject is not understood, not in the slightest degree understood ' • and that every fresh layer of speculation, is only burying it deeper. What i; wanted in this case is, first, A PRACTICAL KNOW LEDGE OF THE SUBJECT; second, a habit of thinking upon political subjects generally, and above all, of writing, which is the test of thought ; and lastly, some clearness of head, and faculty of expression. I happen to possess the two first requisites from accidental circumstances. The parties I now address will speedily be enabled to judge whether I possess the last. BANKING, as it is called, is nothing mysterious ; but strange to say, the name is as absurd as any opinion that has ever been broached about it: Money-changing is its origin, and money-changers must have been coeval with the first trading of one state with the other. In Judea the money changers seem to have sitten even in the porches of the temples. They are a caste in India still, and still at little benches. In Italy the same custom prevailed at first, and in Italy a bench is called a bane; and hence the origin of the term banking ; that is to say, doing business at a bench. LENDING MONEY upon PLEDGES was evidently soon com bined with money-changing ; and this is another step in what is termed banking. That as a public business seems to have come from Lombardy to Lombard-street ; as the blue or gilt pills still borne in the arms of the MEDICI, the great Florence Physicians, and afterwards money-lenders, are still seen over the doors of all pawn-brokers, or money-lenders upon pledges. Up to this point, the issues of the money-lenders, were always in coin. It was in Holland tliat the circulation of paper first arose, and this from accident. The people finding it dangerous to keep specie in their private dwellings, deposited it in the town-houses, under the care of burgo-masters or magistrates, taking their receipts for the amount. These receipts soon began to pass from hand to hand, and even to. be transmitted to a distance. They were found so much more safe and portable than money, that they speedily began to bear a pre mium ; the difference, namely, began the expense of trans mitting them from one quarter to another, and bullion. This is the third step in banking; issuing and transmitting an accredited obligation in place of money, and this obligation deriving its credit, from being an acknowledgment for money. The fourth and last step in banking was, issuing the obli gations of persons of CREDIT, without the intervention of money ; that is to say, obligations for which no money had been deposited, but proceeding from persons who were sup posed capable of judging that those to whom they lent their obligations were solvent, and that through their solvency the banks (as places for transacting money matters were now termed), would be solvent also. This is the fourth and last step in banking, and it is evidently a great one ; in so far as it economises the use of actual currency or bullion in the carrying on on of transactions, and makes a bill of exchange (as bank-notes are), equal to the gold or silver token ; and this bill of exchange often testifying only an exchange of credits, instead of commodities. grine" respecting " Modern Greece" supplies many very in teresting particulars respecting the present condition of that far-famed land. " A Shabby Genteel Story" has fully re alised our anticipations. The chapters in the number before us will afford a hearty laugh. " A Trip across the Spanish Frontier in July, 1839," makes us acquainted with :some of the more important transactions of the recent war in Spain. The conclusion of " Michael Angelo Titmarsh's Pictorial Rhapsody" is highly amusing. The " Statement by Mrs. Barbara" forms a very suitable appendage to the criticisms of the rhapsodist. The Colonial Magazine and Commercial. Maritime Journal. July, 1840. London : Fisher, Son, and Co., Newgate street ; and Liverpool, Hunter-street. Few periodicals have ever attained such great popularity, in so short a space of time, as the magazine before us. The talent, zeal, and ability displayed in its various articles have won for it almost universal approbation. We cannot, how ever, accord our praise to the opening article in the present number. The writer of " The Past and Present State of the West Indies" is evidently prejudiced against the planters. We shall wait for the sequel of the article before we enter into any detailed examination of its statements. " Justice for India" is an ably written article. Its contents are en titled to the deepest consideration. The continuation of the account of "Van Dieman's Land—moral, physical, and po litical," fully sustains the interest excited by the previous This article supplies several important suggestions re specting the future management and government of this rising The notice of " Sicily and the Sulphur Monopoly" contains some excellent remarks on the rise and progress of the dispute between Great Britain and that country. We have been greatly delighted with the observations on the " Co lonization of the Falkland Islands by Convicts." The writer has succeeded in establishing the great importance of these islands as a naval station, and has truly shown that they may be considered as the Malta of the Pacific. he Asiatic Journal, and Monthly Register for British and Foreign India, China, and Australasia. July, 1840. London : W. H. Allen and Co., Leadenhall-street. During the present crisis of affairs in the east this excellent magazine presents important claims upon our attention. Its contents will be found of great value in elucidating the state of affairs in India and China. Its monthly " Review of Eastern News" is a complete summary of oriental intelli gence, candidly and impartially written. The " Notes of a Journey through France and Egypt to Bombay," from the pen of Emma Roberts, furnish us with some very interesting particulars respecting Aden, one of the most recent acquisi- tions of British arms. The " Analyses of Eastern Works" are very ably executed, and supply some very curious speci mens of traditionary lore. " Scenes in Southern India" abound in characteristic anecdotes. The account of the " Missionary Proceedings at Bombay" breathes a spirit of impartiality. The paper on " The Language and Literature of the Telugus" will greatly interest the philological student. The miscellaneous intelligence from Calcutta, Madras, Bom bay, Ceylon, Penang, Singapore, Siam, Dutch India, Mau ritius, Persia, China, New South Wales, Van Diemen's Land, &c., &c. is exceedingly copious and interesting. The New Monthly Belle Assemble'e. July, 1840. London 24, Norfolk-street, Strand. It is some time since we have been favoured with this periodical, together with its associates, the Sportsman and the Farmer's Magazine, published at the same office. The number before us is pre-eminently rich and varied in its contents. The prints of the fashions will be duly appre ciated by our fair readers. The exquisite portrait of Queen Adelaide is quite a treasure, and will be very highly prized by all who have any knowledge of the estimable character of the Queen Dowager. " The Three Distaffs" is a pleasantly written extravaganza. " Jenny Bawn" is a characteristic Irish tale. " The Death -bed of a Parricide" is a powerful narrative, fraught with moral lessons of the highest import, " Ascelina's Vow" is a capital tale, abounding in deep pa " The Brothers" is a tale highly illustrative of Scot tish manners and morals. " Fatal Love" has some very stirring incidents. " The Fastidious Young Gentleman" is a very amusing sketch. " The Flirt" is an instructive tale, the perusal of which may do much good. The poetry and miscellaneous contents of this delightful magazine are of a very superior order. The Farmer's Magazine, and Monthly Journal of Proceed ings affecting the Agricultural Interest. London : 24, Norfoll-street, Strand There are few works which are entitled to greater atten tion than this valuable periodical, and few which are more criminally deserving of national support. The present num ber contains two excellent plates. The first represents a Devon heifer, a fine specimen of that choice breed. The second represents three South Down wethers, that gained prizes last year at Smithfield. Both these plates are beauti fully ex ecu t e d . The contents o f t hi s maga zine will be found of the most interestin g nature to all who are engaged in ag ricultural or rural pursuits. Among the most prominent articles we would enumerate those on " The Improvements which have taken place in the Agriculture of Scotland since the Formation of the Highland Society ,, — ,, Common Salt for Cattle"—" The Cultivation of Poor Clay Sand"—" Cot tage Allotments"—" Sheep Breeding"—" The Comparative ferits of Plow-' —" Animal Oil from Wool as a Manure" The C Isus of Agriculture in the United States''- -" British Woollen Manufactures"—" Farrow A New Method of Feeding Sheep on Turnips" The Formation of Wool"—" The History of the Horse," Merits of Ploughs" Drainii Draining Sportsman. July, 1840. London : 24, Norfolk -street, Strand. The article " On Rabelais" con tains some very pertinent and original remarks on knowledge cheerful gossiping style and education The account furnished by " Brother Pere- This is one of the most spirited periodicals of the day, Ac e have been, during a great portion of our customed as lives, to the tive pursuits of a country life, we always hail its appearance with delight. In this number there are two capital engravings—a portrait of " Little Wonder," the win ner of the Derby ; and a characteristic view of " Yachting," off Hurst Castle. The literary contents of the number arc of the highest order, The explanations of the plates deserv edly occupy the earlier pages. The account of " The Man chester Meeting" is a highly graphic sketch. " A Story )out a Boar" is a very stirring narrative. " The Hound contains some interesting particulars respecting dogs which hunt chiefly in packs, and run by scent. " Angling in July" is in the best style of our old friend Piscator. " A .o Tale" strongly reminds us of some of Captain Basil - sketches. " Seal-shooting in the Firth of Forth" `t b' Hall's contains some very curious particulars respecting a very rare species of sport. " Life in the Woods" introduces some ac count of hunting during the summer months in Nova Scotia. The current comments on the Races, &c., are admirably " ' - The British Farmer's Magazine. July,lB4o. London: J Ridgway and Sons, Piccadilly a quarterly publication of very great merit, the contents of which we have always noticed with much pleasure and satisfaction. The present number abounds in excellent articles. The essay on " Manures—their Use and Com- This is Reprint of the Lord Mayor's Sympathy towards the Destitute, unpaid British Auxiliaries, who assisted to place the Queen of Portugal on her Throne, and to prevent the Dethronement of the Queen of Spain. London : Gardiner and Son. This pamphlet contains a complete exposure of the in famous treatment experienced by the British Auxiliaries in the recent peninsular wars ; and fully proves the perfidy of the Portuguese and Spanish Governments. The Illustrated Shakspeare. Part 15. London : Robert Tyas, 8, Paternoster-row. This part contains the conclusion of Hamlet, and the com mencement of Cymbeline. In every respect it fully justifies the praises universally bestowed upon the earlier numbers. The illustrations are as quaint and spirited as ever, reflecting the highest credit on the artists. The notes on Hamlet are exceedingly copious and interesting. Asmodeus, from the French of Le Sage. Newly translated by Joseph Thomas. Illustrated by Tony Johannot. Part 3. London : Joseph Thomas, Finch-lane. The embellishments to this new translation of Le Diable Boiteux are of a very superior order. The artist appears to have entered deeply into the humour of the author. Respect ing the literary merits of the work it is scarcely necessary for us to say anything further than that the translation is highly creditable to Mr. Thomas, the spirited publisher. We anti cipate for this work, as it proceeds, an extraordinary degree of popularity. Report of Messrs. Peck and Price respecting British Guiana and the Isle of Trinidad. London : C. Richards, 100, St. Martin's-lane. This pamphlet contains the result of the investigation en tered into by Messrs. Peck and Price, who were appointed, at a meeting of the free-coloured people of Baltimore, held, on the 25th of November Past, delegates to visit British Guiana and Trinidad, for the purpose of ascertaining the ad vantages to be derived from the emigration of coloured peo ple to those colonies. The report is highly favourable, and speaks in glowing terms of the climate, soil, government, and general advantages of those places, as well as of the treat ment of the free labourers. TO PUBLISHERS . As the LIVERPOOL STANDARD has a very extensive and in fluential circulation among the Clergy, Gentry, Merchants , and Manufacturers, in Liverpool, Manchester, and the surrounding country, it will be found a peculiarly eligible medium for advertisements of new publications, works of arts, &c., &c. CONTEMPORARY PRESS, CHURCH DISCIPLINE BILL (From the Times of Friday.) _ • We have before inserted remarks from correspond ents on the subject of the Church Discipline Bill, and therefore admit one deserving of attention to-day. With respect to our opinion on this matter, we may say, that the primary motive for bringing in such a bill was to relieve bishops from the enormous expense to which they were subjected in the prosecution, and removal, if necessary, of immoral clerks. That, there fore, was the chief point to be attended to ; and if the avoiding of expense be positively effected by the pre sent bill, it has the chief merit which was sought for. In looking over our correspondent's remarks, and com paring them with the schedule of the bill which we have before us, we observe that what may be called the contentious part of the suit begins only at clause 12. Up to that point the proceedings in the Bishop's Court, if any, must have been acquiesced in by both parties, the accused and the accuser ; and no man will have a subsequent right to complain of the decision of a court before which it was prievously optional with him to be tried or not. By clause 12, indeed, the Bi shop may either irresistibly hear and adjudge the cause, with the assistance of three assessors (a barrister and two of the clergy), or he may remove it by letters of request to the Court of Arches. In 19 cases out of 20 we have no doubt that the latter will be the course adopted. From this Bishop's Court there is an appeal to the Archbishop ; or, if the cases commence there, from his Court of Arches to the judicial section of the Privy Council. It would have been obviously better, therefore, to have gone at once to the Court of Arches, and then the case will stand simply thus :—An accused clerk may appeal to his diocesan, and say, " My Lord, you shall judge whether this charge against me be true or not; and if it is, I submit to your judgment ;" or he may go without any intermediate stept to the Court at Doctors' Commons. That it is better to drop that intermediate court is also clear from other causes. Suppose the clerk charged be a son or nephew of the bishop, can the court of a diocesan thus circumstanced be put in mo tion ? Obviously not. And if, as our correspondent justly suggests, th e bi s h o p has the right of presenta tion to the livi ng o f an ous t e d i ncum bent, can he be thejudge in that case ? Obviously not again. Or will lay patrons submit quietly to the deprivation of a rela tive—a son or nephew—by such machinery as the Bi shop's Court, with its assistant barrister and two cler gymen ? No. We, ther e f ore , f or our own part, s ee no use in this intermediate court. The bill went through a committee last night, and is to be reported on Monday.

The apparatus used on the occasion remains in Cove, and it is expected that the scientific persons engaged will shortly return to resume operations.

The divers were also engaged by the Messrs phy to examine the coast at Ballymacotter head, with refer ence to the loss of a sloop, laden with porter and hides, boil e d for Youghal, wrecked about three weeks since, on which oc casionn every soul on board (four in number) perished. The sloop went down close to the shore, and, though the divers made the most minute search, not a trace of the ill-fated vessel could be discovered. It is presumed that the casks of porter, being buoyant, drifted the vessel into deep water, but in what direction it was impossible to discover.—Cork Con stitution. A mixed measure of great importance has arisen in con currence with these, namely, the depositing of money in banks by persons who do not in the meantime require it, that it may be lent to others who do require it. This also leads to a great economy of capital, and multiplication of its power ; for it renders every portion of the capital of a dis trict, at all times available. In Scotland it is usual to obtain interest on such deposits, though always less than is obtained by the bank. The difference between the interest paid and charged, remunerates the bank for the trouble and risk of re-lending, and the depositors become in reality sharers in the profits of the banks. This facility is of great use in two ways :—lt enables a capitalist not desirous of great activity, still to derive something from his capital, without lending it permanently out; and it enables persons of industry and judgment, but wanting in capital, to get into the field of pro fitable industry, without crowding it, and after a time to retire in like manner, to moderate profits with reduced risk. It was necessary to say this much, to bring all the points into view that may hereafter require to be referred to ; and from this it will be seen, that the uses of what we term bank ing, are— First—To facilitate business, by the exchange of the moneys of different countries, or of the obligations of different in . dividuals, for something that will circulate where business is to be done. Second—To e f fect payments at a distance, with ease and safety, by means of accredited obligations,—commonly called letters of credit, or of exchange. Third—To increase the power of capital,—by bringing it into deposit in known places, and where the use of it may be . . obtained, on terms that are known. And, lastly—To economise the use of BULLION, as the re presentative of capital or acquired property, by substituting paper. therefore an accredited circulation of .... _ . . These are the uses, and ALL the uses of what we term banking, and, though few, they are obviously very important. I do not intend to go much further in the way of explana tion. It seems only necessary I should show that I under stand the subject. But as it has been said, that the com mittee of parliament were engaged for three days, in consider ing whether deposits in banks, were to be considered circula tion, I may be allowed as many minutes to clear up that mat ter, and to show generally what circulation is. Every thing that circulates property, is pro hac vice, circu lation :—A bank note, a bill of exchange, an exchequer bill, or any other document of public or private debt, au ingot of gold or silver, or any other valuable metal—a jewel, &c, all are circulation, if they are received, and circulate property. But if the gold and silver, or the jewel, has been turned into articles of use, or the circulation is effected by exchange of commodities in use, or for use, the transaction is termed barter. Again—nothing can be termed circulation that is not in use as circulation. Even gold and silver coins, deposited in a bank, are no more circulation while so deposited, than if they were again returned to the earth. But if they lie in the bank, ready for circulation, they are a power of circulation. But nothing is actually circulation, that it is not daily and hourly required in the transactions of the State. The amount required for this, forms the circulation of the State, whatever may be its character ; whether it be in bullion, bank notes, bills of exchange, or bartered commodities. DEPOSITS of PROPERTY may be termed CAPITAL; and if accessible for use, it is, as I have said, a power of circulation; but it is no more circulation, while out of use, than manure deposited is manure—till applied to the field. If it is possible, therefore, that the committee of parlia ment and their witnesses have been employed for three days in considering whether deposits are circulation, it is clear that they have been considering in that committee, what they ought to have considered at home ; and have only been en deavouring to instruct themselves, instead of being in a situa tion to instruct the country. And gentlemen acquainted with HORACE should remember, that he has not written anything more true than this : Si me intelligere velles, Ante omnia necesse est, ut— ___ Tu ipse intelligas I must now consider all the collateral views of this subject to be understtood, as I have fully studied them, and I think understood them ; and if from what I have said, the public shall be of opinion that I do understand them, they will in the mean time receive from me the following propositions, as proper and necessary to be adopted, for the regulation of this very important matter. First, of what should NOT BE. There should not be A SOLE BANK OF ISSUE. It is true this has been proposed even by Chancellors of Exchequer; and it is still, I believe, strenuously contended for by the establishment that hopes to he instated as sole source of cir culation, and seriously meditated by persons looked up to as statesmen. But if this is contemplated by statesmen, it is proper to say at once, they are very ignorant statesmen. It would no doubt be very profitable for any bank to have two per cent. on the whole paper currency of this kingdom ; but it is exceedingly impudent to expect it, from the following considerations among others :—First, from its excessive amount. Next, from its presupposing that the FORTUNES of the WHOLE KINGDOM should be trusted to the paper ob ligations of a few men, elevated into bankers, from the ex tent of their capital and not of their capacity ; who would thus become responsible for the prudence of all the banks in the kingdom to whom they might lend their currency ; and who, by seeking this responsibility, in addition to a respon sibility already excessive, show that they are very imprudent themselves. But lastly, and yet more particularly, because their avowed object is, to regulate the whole proceedings of the kingdom in matters of trade !—And how ? By regula ting what they term the exchanges. Now, it is impos sible to enter into the briefest explanaton of that subject, in this place ; but the idea is certainly the very height of ab surdity; and its effects would be, the moment we had ac quired more money than our neighbours, as compared with our wants, to cause us to throw that money away ; and the moment we had less in proportion to our wants, to cause us to throw our property away, to seek more money, merely to bring what they term exchanges to a par. It would be sys tematically making a trade of the instruments of blade, and without the least necessity. The Brentford tailor on horse back, whipping and spurring and curbing, all at the same in stant, would be but a slight type of this sole regulating esta blishment ! But, though the madness of the tailor may be ludicrous, there is something serious in the destruction of the horse : and we may rely that such would be the fate of this country, under the tailors of Threadneedle-street, were they installed as they have the modesty to desire. The power they already possess, has, according to the Manchester mer chants, repeatedly caused fluctuations in the value of pro perty to the extent of thirty per cent !—and were the country placed at their feet, as they desire, there would be no limit to their power, but in their own discretion. No sovereign that has ever lived, has ever possessed a power equal to what would be the power of a sole bank of issue, or even its meanest director. Second, There should be no UNLIMITED ISSUES, by BANKS, HOWEVER NUMEROUS. We see the consequence of this in AMERICA ; where the circulation of banks is almost as much depreciated, as the assignata of the moat profligate govern ments. RICARDO has said, experience shows that neither a state nor a bank has ever had the unrestricted power of issuing paper money, without abusing that power." It would be exceedingly easy to demonstrate, that the checks, as they are termed, that have hitherto been devised, are nearly nominal in every view ; or, if they may in some de gree save the banks, they are even pernicious as the public is concerned, by tending to strip the failing bank of all its ready funds ; that is, to carry PREFERENCES to the extent of the last ready penny. Third, There should be NO ISSUES AT ALL, WITHOUT WELL DEVISED SECURITIES. The propriety of this regula tion is self-evident. And lastly, As the privilege of issuing paper currency, however secured, is a privilege to COIN, in a , substance of no value—a privilege not granted either to the STATE, or to the KING in this country, it is clear that the State should be re munerated for this permission to individuals ; and for the trouble of superintending and guaranteeing the system. I will give my views of the mode of regulating and distri buting the currency, so far as in paper ; of making the banks entrusted with supplying it, at once independent and safe; of remuner a ti ng th e country f or perm i tt i ng an d guaranteeing this species of currency, which at once economises and cre ates capital, and accelerates industry ; and I will do this in a very few, and clear, and simple propositions ; self-acting, and of self-evident utility. In the meantime, I trust I have given a very clear view of BAN KING„IND ITS USES; and in that have shown, that, if considered by itself, (as it ought to be, ) it is a very simple matter. Collateral subj ec t s attach themselves, and if al lowed, may complicate th e i n di v id ual subject to any extent.

AN IRISH CALCULATION. —The weekly Freeman's Jour nal, in reference to a dispute as to the sole right of fishing in the Shannon, claimed by a lessee under the corporation of Limerick, says, " should the plaintiff succeed he will be bene fitted £3OOO a-year ;on the oth er hand, it is stated, that 2,50 0 individuals, who now obtai n their living by,the fisheries of the Sh annon , w ill, in that case, be depri ved of their means of sub s i stence. " Ergo, 2500 individuals exist on £ 3 , 000 per here Well annum, or 24 5 . p e r annum each. There is n o exa gg eration Shannon when it can deliberately make it appea r that 2,500 fishermen's may this o v n e l r y aci ra o e u pr means so i f nt be called the Freeman's Journal, ex i s tence are under one Penny per daym 3. The Solar Cycle is a period of 28 years, which, owing to leap year, must necessarily pass round before the days of the month can return respectively to the same days of the week as at the commencement of the Cycle. 4. The Dominical or Sunday Letter is one of the first let ters of the alphabet ; which letters are used to denote re spectively the days of the week, and one of which letters must of course fall to the Sunday throughout the year. But owing to the leap year, their order is every fourth year disturbed ; so that the Solar Cycle must pass round before the letters can fall respectively to some days of the week. The present be ing leap-year, there are two Sunday letters ; the left-hand letter is used till the end of February, and the other till the end of the year. 5. Roman Indiction was a period of fifteen years appointed by the Emperor Constantine, A.D. 312, for the payment of certain taxes from the subjects of the empire. 6. The Number of Direction. It having been decided by an assembly of Christian bishops at the Council of Nice, in Asia, A.D. 325, the Easter Day is always " the first Sunday after the Full Moon which happens upon, or next after, the 21st march," it follows that Easter Day cannot take place earlier than the 22d of March, or later than the 25th of April, so that from one date to the other (both inclusive) are 35 days. The number of direction is that day of the 35 on which Easter Sunday falls. 7. The Julian Period consists of 7980 years ' • which is produced by the multiplication i n t o e ac h o th er o f the Solar Cycle, the Lunar Cycle, and the Roman Indiction, (28 xl9x 15 = 7980). This period is reckoned from 709 years before the creation of the world, when the three cycles are supposed to commence together ; which circumstance ea nnot take place again until the lapse of the entire period, A. D. 3267. The Roman Indiction and the Julian Period are not now of practical use in the calendar; but the other observations will serve to assist those who wish to understand the calen dar, which is prefixed to the church service, in the prayer book. RHUBARB WINE.—Let the stalks be at least of full growth, cut them in pieces into a pan, pour boiling water on them, and macerate till soft, but not into a pulp ; let them stand till next day ; strain and proceed as for gooseberry wine ; with respect to proportions, about one-third more by weight than of gooseberries. It is aperient, but mild.— Map. of Domestic Economy. TEE SPEEDWELL MINE, CASTLETON.—The guides hav ing arrived, we proceeded, through a small spar-depot, to descend one hundred and six steps ; and, at the foot, were handed into a deep-sided, but rather narrow boat, partially extending from the mouth of a tunnel just wide enough to admit the same, and of sufficient height from the water to allow of our sitting erect. The guide and his assistant then pushed us along in a straight line for the distance of 750 yards ; one of them now and then leaving small pieces of lighted candle on each side at transverse angles, which pro duced a very pretty effect. When our boat accidentally struck against the flinty side of this excavation, the noise resembled distant thunder. On stepping out of the boat. we found ourselves in an immense cavern, called "The Devil's Hall;" said to be 300 yards from its base to the surface of the earth ! The guide told us, that rockets had proved the cavern alone to be 150 yards high ! To convince us of this, he ascended, by means of ladders fastened in the side, to a great height, where he placed on a projecting or table rock, what in excess of modesty was .termed a " Bengal light," whose lurid influence enabled us to gaze on naught but wide interminable space ! Yes, as incredulity melted away, w were half inclined to believe the truth of his assertion, partly on account of the vast distance the eye is enabled to wan der amid the loftier parts of these demoniac regions. Being early in the morning, we had a clear cavern;—an advantage not to be expected later in the day, after the more fre quent discharge of sundry " blue lights," whose murky exhalations, of course, naturally tend to obscure—what I, under favourable auspices, was very far from being able to discover—this high and solitary hall's inexplicable roof! The general effect is much heightened by thundering sounds of the grand cascade, which, after rushing with terrible impetu osity along the side of this cavern, passes on to Peak's Hole; a cavity of the earth, stated by miners to be without bottom! One reason for making so bold an assertion is this. All the stone cut from the tunnel already alluded to, together with several thousand tons of other rubbish, had been thrown into that endless chasm without producing any visible effect, or ascertainable alteration ! The guide said he once de scended, by means of ropes, 80 or 90 yards lower than where we stood, and afterwards sounded 100 more, without observ ing the least obstruction to the plummet ! Any person believing the generally given account of the deptii of Elden Hole will be more prepared to admit the truth of so extraor dinary a declaration. The noise of the water bursting over the higher parts of the rocks, on approaching quite close, is almost astounding. It may be as well to mention, that strong rails are placed to prevent strangers falling into this fearful abyss, which is a very proper precaution. There is certainly no cave in the Grand Peak Cavern anything near so high as " The Devil's Hall," in Speedwell Mine ; although the latter, if contrasted generally, must fall short of the former as an object of wondering admiration.—Sketches in Derbyshire.

THE CALENDAR (From the Saturday Magazine.) 1.. Golden Number 2.. Epact 26 3.. Solar Cycle 4.. Sunday Letters.. 5.. Roman Indiction , 13 6.. Number of Direction 29 7.. Julian Period The terms used at the head of this paper are usually the Chronological and Common Notes of the Almanac or Calendar. The Calendar is an adjustment of time, according to rule, for the use of society. The term " Calendar" is derived from an old classic word implying to call, from the circumstance of the Pontifex Maximus, the head of the Roman priests proclaiming, on the first day of the month, the date of the appearance of the new moon, and the festivals to be observed during the month. In the early stages of society, the progress of time was es timated by the courses of the sun and moon ; the former marking out years, seasons, and days ; and the latter months and weeks. But, it has been most difficult to determine with accuracy the month and the year; since the revolution of neither the sun nor the moon is completed in an exact number of days. To reconcile the revolutions of the sun and moon, with the common account of time, and to make them agree with each other, was the object held in view upon reforming the Calen dar on the following remarkable occasions : I. I, Julius Caesar being convinced by the Greek astro nomer, Soigenes, that the year then employed was too short, and that it could never be properly settled but by referring it to the apparent annual revolution of the sun, and finding that about ninety days had been lost by the old reckoning, made the first Julian year to consist of 444 days, which was in consequence called the " year of confusion." This year was thus made to terminate at the proper season. The fol lowing years with the months, were then adjusted nearly as they are at present, and as the year was from that time made to consist of 3651 days, a day was inserted every fourth year, between the 6th and sth of the Calends of March, (which days answer to the 24th and 25th of February ;) so that the 6th day of the Calends of March being repeated, there were accounted to be two sixth days of the Calends of March, and the day thus inserted was named bissextus dies, or the double sixth day ; whence we call Leap-year, in which this addition is made, Bissextile. 11. But as the year does not consist of quite 3651 days, it was found in the sixteenth century after the birth of Christ, that the civil year was ten days in advance of the course of the sun. The Calendar was, therefore, again corrected by Pope Gregory the Thirteenth, A.D. 1582. This, which is called the new style, was adopted in England, A.D. l ;52. The regulations assumed in this second reformation of the Calendar, are such as reckoning from the 16th century, will make the civil years and the course of the sun to differ after the lapse of 4000 years, only to the amount of one day The notes given at the head of this article were the ele ments employed in the correction of the Calendar; and we proceed briefly to explain :- 1. The Golden number is the number which any given year holds in the Lunar Cycle, which is a period of nineteen years, at the lapse of which the new moons take place on the same days of the same months respectively as at the com mencement of the cycle. Therefore, while the sun performs its annual course nineteen times, those of the moon amount to 235. The importance of this discovery in the regulation of time was held to be so great, that the rule for ascertaining the year in the Lunar Cycle was inscribed in letters of gold on a tablet set up in the market-place of Athens, in Greece. Hence the term Golden number. The rule is given in the Calendar which prefaces the Church service. 2. The Epact is the number of days over and above all the complete courses of the moon, for any number of years, in any part of the Lunar Cycle. Hence, it is the moon's age at the beginning of any year; that is, the number of days which have elapsed since the new moon in the preceding year.
