their heeds reseed to feel dizzy with the moralise
whirl from whose outer circles they bans not yet
quite escaped. Neither the =mantas nor the
political world is in • fit candid°. a'
feeling or information to deliberate celetly
on a subject so full of inevitable diSculty.
Look, for example, to the questions connected with
the management of Joint-Stook Banks. A very
general disposition exists to lay the chief portion of
the blame in whatever has been reeently found to be
wrong in our monetary system upr the heals el
theme establishments. There is pretty m•ch the

suss tendency to disponi(' beta aim that there
was to depreciate the privets banks immediately
after the failure of STRAHAN, PALL and BAT=
This entiment will of course pam away, and men
will learn to look diepsaaionately on the faults of
their present constitution. Bat are they prepared to
grapple with that gigantic organisation (for its pro-
portion have become gigantic), without thormegh
sad searching inquiry? Take an elmesatary
consideration, for example. The present law rya
that the names of all the proprietors of Isiat4teek
Beaks most be registered. " Very preps;
malainos an impatient friend, " we'll let that stand.'
Will

you indeed AM of what practical um fa Hs
existing mode of registration ? When Um Liver-

pool Borough Bank stopped the other day, a gently
sari, who wanted to know to whom he had to look
for his money thus placed in jeopardy, desired to
have a copy of the list of shareholders ; and what
do our readers suppose the cost of making such •
manuscript copy for legal purposes 'would have
Men ? Several hundred pounds ! Will anybody
in his senses say that such a method of registering
proprietors' names is other than a delusion, a
mockery, and a snare? Yet when we come to
suggest remedies we may readily conceive how many
things of a practical ware will have to be con-
sidered. For them reasons we should altogether
deprecate hasty or premature legislation on Banking.
The short session may, however, find other work ;
and it will be the duty of Ministers to set it
promptly to do what can be dome promptly and
