BANKER'S.

We have here a second article on what has been
termed " Dangerous Life Assurance." The admi-
rable pamphlet of Mr. B. H. Strousberg is largely
quoted from in the present number, as well
as the very able brochure of Mr. W.
Swingy, which appears to us completely
to rebut the charge brought forward of want of ade-
quate security for the satisfactory liquidation of the
liabilities of the junior establishments. The excellent
paper on the " Laws of the Currency of Ireland."
read by J. IV. Urilbart, Esq., before the statistical
section of the British Association, on the 23 of last
month, is inserted. There are also some " Strictures
on Scotch Banking," and an interesting account of
the " Financial Position of the Great Western Rail-
way." The usual notice of " Banking and Com-
mercial Law" for this month relates to the dealings
of bankers with married women—a very important
an interesting branch of the subject. There is also a
more than average amount of commercial intelligence,
which must prove exceedingly useful to the readers
of this well-conducted magazine.

of the " Racing in September," showing that
twenty years' experience referred to in his notict
has
been taken due advantage of. "Doncaster Doings, by

worthy of perusal by those devoted to our national
sport. " Red Deer Hunting in the New Forest,"

" The Mist and the Moor." " The Sportsman roest

Atherby," will also attract much attention. The
number is in every respect exceedingly well got U.
