Had they not abundant came to be glad ? No
longer would they have to "bawl or otherwise risk
their lives to get a seat. No longer would

angular gentlemen run the risk of being
precipitated into the laps of stout dowagers,
or stout dowagers run the risk of extinguish-
ing angular gentlemen. No longer would
modest moderation have to be content with
half a seat that its neighbour might be unhappy
on an area of treble the extent. No longer would
you be suffocated with heat, or be pierced with a
draught that penetrated your marrow. No longer
would an all-pervading odour of fustiness offend
your nostrils. No longer would you be set down
in the middle of the road some hundred yards or so
beyond your destination, and leave behind you a
slam of indignation to find at your flank a re-
turning omnibus you had been unable previously
to perceive. Conductors were to be appointed
whose duty and interest it would be to consult
the safety, convenience, and comfort of their pas-
sengers ; while a mode of construction and arrange-
ments were to be adopted that would obviate all
the rest.

Alas ! for human credulity. The news was too
good to be true. If we are to judge by the report
of the recent meeting of Omnibus Proprietors,
the Trench Company is a creature of the imagina-
tion—its members nameless, bodiless, and invisi-
ble. Those who called the meeting appear to have
been in a think fog of ignorance and stupidity—
to have been dreadfully hoaxed or the clumsiest of
promoters. Messrs. °MAY and FOIIMARD were
the agents in Paris ; but who the parties were
they represented, and who was the agent in Lon-
don, they were unable, at all events declined, to
tell. Never was a body of men brought together
to take into consideration a more misty scheme.
The explanations were, in fact, an insult to th e
eommonest understanding, and laid the parties
who called the meeting open to the most un-
pleasant imputations. Cruel, however, as the
disappointment of the public may be, they will
be gainers by it. The present system, with its
incivility, irregularity, recklessness, and extor-
tion, is doomed. That which was to have sup-

planted it would doubtless have had its advan- '
tages ; but these, in the long run, would have
been outbalanced by serious evils. It was a
scheme of monopoly, by means of which the public
would have been delivered over to a powerful body,
which, once established, might have done pretty
much as it liked, and defied competition. Now
the field is open, and the interest displayed on
the subjeot by the public will, in all human pro-
bability, induce men of capital to enter it. A
well-organised system put in operation in the
various omnibus routes would put a stop to most
of th• evils complained of. Where remonstrances
are powerless to remove abuses self-interest is
often all-powerful, and one way or ether the
public are likely to get what they want. In-
creased competition and police supervision will do
wonders.

' -that the latter are for the most part chosen judi-
ciously and discriminatively, and that, the former
is characterised by a tone of earnes); and unaf-
fected appreciation. Mr. 13allantyne is, of course,
a Carlylist to the backbone. His mind, so to speak,
. • fairly saturated with Carlylism. earlylism he
!leas been so long steeped in, that it may be said to
;have permeated his whole being intellectually.
Nevertheless, he speaks of Carlyle and his writings,
throughout, not as one simply infatuated, but as
.one who has seen and comprehended the philoso-
phy of which the powerful genius of Carlyle is the
authoritative exponent. Every one -who thinks of
Carlyle as Mr. Ballantyno thinks of him sincerely
as we have already said, earnestly and unaffectedly,
—and such appreciators there are noi vadays scat-
tered up and down the land in hundreds, almost
-we might add for the sake of the pun, in whole
parishes—will gladly hail the fact of this volume's
welcome and timely appearance. Through it those
:as yet unacquainted with the great masterpieces of
Carlyle in their entirety, may comprehend in
:some measure the power of each in turn in
:a way so far sufficient, although of course quite
:fragmentary. " Passages " there are among those
. lhere selected and grouped together--" Religious',
"Political," relating to "The Gospel of La-
; ;hour," to " Social Reform," to " Journalism," and
Ito " Literature." One there is, complete in itself,
masterly essay upon " Jean Paul Richter,"
-with which the book of selections before us
Las been wisely consummated. But the introduc-
! gory " Passages" are at the same time-, of all, the
=lost noble and the most noteworthy, those taken
from the two most considerable and, memorable
of the great works penned by Thomas Carlyle, his
glorious biography of " Cromwell" and his wonder-
ful " History of the French Revolution." The
writer of masterpieces such as these, is surely the
very man of whose literary productions there
:should be given to the public at large just such a
volume of illustrative selections, even though the
Public so catered for should happen to consist, as
in the present instance, of the writer's own imme-
diate contemporaries. Cordially, therefore, do we
here welcome these admirably selected Passages
from the writings of Thomas Carlyle as perhaps
;among the noblest exemplars that could be afforded
I;he general public of the genius of one of the great
_ English worthies of our generation.

M &EY LEBONE.

SAVAGE ASSAULTS.—A man, who gave his name
William Barris, was charged with the following out-
rageous conduct. It appeared from the evidence that
at twelve last night, Brinkhurst, 112 120, saw the pri-
soner lying drunk in the Edgware-road. He had hold
of the trousers of a man with his teeth, and was endea-
vouring to bite his leg. The officer with great difficulty
got prisoner away, upon which he (prisoner) kicked with
great violence, and made a desperate attempt to bite his
arm. Other constables came up, and prisoner was after
much resistance conveyed to the station-house.
The prisoner, in answer to the charge, pleaded intoxi-
cation as an excuse for his misconduct, and hoped that
the magistrate would deal with him as leniently as he
could.

Mr. Long told him that he could not be permitted to
assault parties without being made to suffer for the same,
and fined him 205., in default of payment 14 days' im-
prisonment.

his wife, two of the most notorious beggars in London,

dicity Society.
They were committed for a month to their old guar
ters in the House of Correction.

UNITY JOINT-STOCK MUTUAL BANK,
ING ASSOCIATION,
PRINCIPAL OFFICEP.q
Unity Buildings, S and 10, Cannon-street, City.
LEICE3TER-SQUARE MUNCH'.
1, New Coventry-street, Leicester-square.
CLOSING OF THE SHARE LIST.
The directors are happy to announce that, in consequence
ef the large number of shares that have been allotted and
paid upon, the share list will be closed on Friday, the 30th
November, after which date no applications will be received.
Arrangements have been made which will enable the bank
to commence business early in January next.
This bank, to be incorporated by royal charter, is estab-
lished for the purpose of founding the principle of MUTUAL
BANKING, whereby customers, who create the profits, be-
come entitled to a participation in them, by way of interest
on their cash balances. The principle of mutuality has been
for many years acted on by insurance companies, and their
policy-holders have participated to a very great extent in
the bonuses, with much advantage to the institutions and the
shareholders. By banks, however, to this period, MUTU-
ALITY has been neglected. The whole of the profits result-
ing from successful operations have been given to the share-
holders only.
ADVANTAGES OFFERED BY THE UNITY BANK.
I. To shareholders, 5 per cent., from the date of payment,
on all paid-up capital, as well as 0 per cent. of the profits.
11. To customers, in addition to the ordinary amount paid
on deposit and current accounts, interest on their cash ba-
lances, equivalent to 50 per cent. of the profits.
This Is the plan on which the UNITY JOINT STOCK MUTUAL
BANEINO ASSOCIATION is established. By it is created, for the
first time, an identification of interest between the customers
and shareholders of the bank, who thus become mutually con-
cerned in the extension of its business. It will be the means
of opening up new business, preserving a connection once
formed, and productive of -practical benefits to the public
generally.
CONDITION OF LONDON JOINT STOCK BANKS.
Thesuecess of joint stock banks in London is readily ad-
mitted, as-well as proved by the statements periodically
issued by those great commercial institutions. In support
of this, the following table is submitted, showing the condi-
tion of each of the six metropolitan joint stock banks which
have published accounts, the original cost of the shares,
their present market value, and the dividends payable

THE STRIKES OP FACTORY OPERATIVES AT MANCHES-
TEII.—The operatives engaged in spinning had struck in
six mills up to last night, including Messrs. Richard
Birley's workpeople to the number of 300 ; Messrs.
Kennedy and Co.'s, to the number of 180 or 200; Messrs.
Kelly and Gilmour, 450 to 500 ; Messrs. Clarke's,
Piercy-street, 50 or 60 ; Messrs. Clarke's, Beswick-
street, about 200 ; the Hanover Mills, about 120 or 130,
with more expected to go out, and Messrs. Sharpe's.
A larger number of operatives more or less dependent
upon these, in the same mills, will, it is expected, be de-
prived of work should the strike continue. Messrs.
Stirling and Beckton's operatives under notice are said
to have taken work at lower rates, having been receiving_twas
more than the average prices of Manchester. 1

LONDON, SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 17, 1855.

We yesterday explained the state of the mone-
tary code previous to the Act of 1844. Full dis-
cretion was, as we have seen, allowed to the Bank
of England to issue any amount of notes they
thought proper, the only restriction being that
they
ahouid be redeemable in gold coin on de-
and for sums not exceeding 'l,
mand, ing 0,. each. We
explained the injurious
have already operation of
this very insidious clause, which substituted gold
for paper in the transactions of every-day life, for
which the small-note currency was much better
suited. In Scotland and Ireland, where the
smaller denomination of notes is sanctioned,
nothing else is looked for ; gold will, of course, be
accepted in payment, but it is not liked, and the
recipient invariably takes the earliest opportunity
to get rid of it,
and to obtain in place thereof the
" worthless rag," which, in case of theft, can be
more easily traced--whose value will not diminish
by wear and tear, and which possesses the pur-
chasing power, inasmuch as it could at any momen t
satisfy the public or private claims on the pos-
sessor, or obtain for him a full equivalent for the
nominal value in any commodity of which he
might stand in need. From forty to fifty mil-
lions of sovereigns were, however, required to
replace the small-note currency withdrawn from
circulation, and that large amount of bul-
lion became virtually useless of no more

WAGES OF AGRICULTURAL LABOURERS.—The annual

menced in the West Riding of Yorkshire. The Wake-
field statutes were held on Monday, and the Doncaster
statutes on Tuesday. There was a pretty good attend-
ance of servants at both places, the hiring was very brisk,
the demand for farming men being greater than the sup-
ply. Wages ruled high, the best hands obtaining from

ROME.

A letter from Rome, of the 22d, in the Univers,
says :—" It is positively stated that the Consistory
of the month of December is fixed for the 21st,
and that the promotion of the Cardinals, which
has been so often postponed, will then take place.
Among the candidates spoken of for promotion
are the Archbishop of Vienna, who conducted the
negotiations of the Concordate ; and Monsignor di
Pietro, formerly Papal Nuncio at Lisbon. The
Emperor of Austria, in order to show his satis-
faction at the conclusion of the Concordate, has
lately sent to the Pope, as he had some time back
promised, the sum of 250,000 f. towards the con-
struction of the monument of the Inaniaculaie Con-
ception. Several decorations have also been con-
ferred on the high dignitaries who took part in
drawing up that document, and among others on
Cardinal Santucci and Mgr. Valenziani. Among
the persons recently arrested here is said to be
a direct emissary of Mazzini."

The Pope has just created Mgr. Villecourt,
Bishop of La Rochelle, a resident Cardinal. The
new Cardinal is stated to be noted for his piety and
learning, and to be a personal friend of the Pope.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1855

The English Monarch who laid his crown at the
feet of the Papal Legate had also to sign Magna
Charta. HEAVEN grant that the stupid young
bigot who now degrades the Austrian throne may
be driven to a like deed. Probably few of our
readers had patience to wade through the Papal
allocution which we thought right to give them
entire yesterday, for we confess nothing but the
duty of honest journalists sustained us in the
task. It is no mere accumulation of epithets to
say that, for sanctimoniousness, ecclesiastical as-
zmnption, arrogance, sleek hypocrisy, and greedy
ambition, we have not for a long time seen any-
thing, even from the Vatican, to surpass this dis-
Here we have the Pops,

scarcely concealing indecent exultation, in forming
his own Coasistory how completely he has set his
hoof on the young EN/PEROR. The Concordat
itself we have already had ; now we have the
official interpretation of it—a disgrace which Pope
Pius IX. might well have spared his humbled
son. But no ; Rome knows no limit to her am-
bition but that, not only of abject submission to
her demands, but of undergoing the penance of
being pilloried in the face of all Europe. Poor
FaeNeis Jowl( ! Hungary has now its revenge.
The brutal young hangman of her heroes—heroes
whom his sword could never have reached—is
now degraded for all history by his own act. The
day will came when
they will be numbered with

come when the odious bully and coward tyrant

MARKET NEWS.—(This Day).

The supply of English wheat in to-day's market was
chiefly composed of Monday's unsold samples. For all
kinds wo had a very limited demand, at that day's decline
in value.

There was a small show of foreign wheat ; nevertheless,
the trade ruled heavy, and the quotations were almost
nominal.
We had very few inquiries for floating cargoes.
The barley trade was dull, and the demand for malt was
very inactive.
Oats, beans, peas, and flour were in good supply, and
heavy request, at Monday's prices.

THE BALTIC.

KIEL, Nov. 24.—The Royal George has got
orders to prepare for sea this evening or to-morrow
morning, and it is probable that she will be accom-
panied by either the Colossus or Nile. The Duke
of Wellington, Orion,
.James Watt, and Majestic,
as well as the French ships Tourville and Duquesne,
will remain awhile.

When the ships arrived leave of absence to the
extent of ten days was in some instances given, but
this is now reduced to three, so that the officers
who wish to make an excursion cannot now extend
their visit beyond Hamburg, while those who were
more prompt managed to get as far as Berlin, and
even in some instances they contrived to see Dres-
den, which was a great relief from the monotony of
a sea life, especially when it has been characterised,
like that in the Baltic, by the tediousness of block-
ade duty, or otherwise by comparative inaction.
The officers of the Duke of Wellington have re-
cently erected a handsome monument to the me-
mory of their late First Lieutenant Hannant, who
died of small-pox, and was buried at Faro ; and a
like tribute is about to be paid here to that of
Lieutenant Ouseley, who was formerly in the same
ship, but latterly in the Pembroke, by several of
his former messmates.

Yesterday the thermometer was as low as 25 de-
grees Fahrenheit ; the frost has, however, disap-
peared, and it stands to-day at 35 degrees ; but at
no time this season had the temperature of the
water in the bay been below 45 degrees, and there
is never ice on it until the thermometer falls
to 18 degrees, and that rarely happens until after
Olaristmas.

AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, Nov. 24.
It is now positively known here that the whole
of the first levy of militiamen in Russia is to be
put into the regular army.
The Emperor Alexander has given orders by tele-
graph that no impediment is to be offered to M.
Gopcovich in getting his corn on board his ships.
It is credibly related that enormous quantities of
corn are being bought up by Prussian houses, on
account of the Russian Government.
