The application of the joint-stock principle to Banking and
Exchanges, under the control and general management of
boards.of ill ectors in London, has proved so eminently suc-
cessful in the British colonies and dependencies, more parti-
cularly in the East and West Indies, that it is deemed expe-
dient to intro uce that system into the Continent of Europe,
with which our commercial intercourse is now so great as to
demand additional facilities and safety in support of our mu-
tual monetary transactions.
Banking on the Engiish system, and with English capital,
has already been applied with success to foreign countries in
the instances of tie Ottoman Bank as regards Turkey, and
the Bank of Egypt in Egypt, both conducted under Royal
Charters of Incorporation. Other companies have more re-
cently been established, with similar objects, under the
Limited Liability Act.
The Directors propose to take powers to apply for a special
Charter for this Bank.

In the limits of a prospectus it is impossible to enter into
full details, but official statistics are available to show the
increase in the totals of our imports and exports of merchan-
dise with the principal counties of Central Europe, between
the years 185 s and 1861, which may be briefly given thus :
With France, from 17 to 35 millions ; with Germany, from 11
to 10 millions ; with Holland, from 13 to 18 millions ; with
Italy, from 5 to 9 millions ; and with Spain, from 5 to S mil-
lions sterling.
Arrangements are matured to secure the services of gentle•
men of large experience to conduct the Foreign Department
of the business.

The Bank, in addition to ordinary banking operations, will
conduct all the business of Exchange Agents. It will
Import and Export Gold and Silver.
Purchase approved Bills of Exchange, Coupons, Notes, &o.
Undertake Fc)reign Financial Agencies.

ment be made to the applicant, the deposit will be returned
without deduction ; audit a less number be allotted than is
applied for the surplus will be placed towards the payment

THE CHARING CROSS RAILWAY.—At the Sheriff's
Court, Red Lion-square, yesterday, before Mr.
Under-Sheriff Burchell, the compensation case, " Marshall
v. the Charing-cross Railway," was resumed and con-
cluded. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., was for the claimant, and
Mr. Lloyd, Q.C., for the company. The claim, which, as
originally made, was £5,924, was in aespect of the loss of
business in Hungerfortb street, cud the expense attending
the purchase of other premises near the Lowther-arcade, in
the Strand. Mr. Marshall had been a confectioner and
baker in Hungerford-street for 27 years, and had a lease
for 11 years unexpired at £l6O a year of premises worth
£2lO. He had netted as clear profit £l,lOO a year, of
which £520 was derived from chance custom About

sold on one or two occasions 5,000 buns a day. He had
expended £2,700 in respect of his new premises, which
1,000,000 persons a year passed to the bridge, and he had
were not so eligible either for his business or his customers,
and five-sixths of his chance custom had been destroyed.
He considered he had lost beyond his usual prcfits about
£3OO by being obliged to remove in the Exhibition year.
Mr. nawkins claimed a liberal compensation for the injury
done to Mr. Marshall, who had been deprived of an ex-
cellent site and an increasing business, and on the present
occasion he submitted that ho was entitled to £4,483. Mr.
Lloyd complained that there had been a good deal of "cook-
ing" in bringing the case before the Court, and that sums
of items of profit had been grossly exaggerated. Mr.

The jurYi niter deliberation, assessed the compensation at

poses I am not giving the right complexion to the
subject, I would ask him to refer to the motion with
respect to it which seas last session made by Mr.
Horsfall ; in speaking upon which I explained the
cause of the proposition made in the Congress
of Paris as I have explained it to-night. I may add
that Lord Palmerston and Mr. Disraeli seemed to
accept that explanation as the true one; and it
must, therefore, I think, be admitted as one
which is not to be controverted. Under all the
circumstances of the case, therefore, it appears
to me that the beat course is to go fur-
ward. You cannot go backward; you have still
the United States, with its great mercantile
marine, to take into account, and whatever may be
the issue of the present strife, you may take it for
granted that the free States of America will stand
in the first rank as a maritime Power, that being
the reason which led to the change at the opening
of the Russian war, and which still continues in
force; and it would, I think, be wiser aed more libe-
ral, more philosophic and more humane, to look for-
ward with a view to progress, rather than to make
a retrograde step in the interpretation of interna-
tional law as between belligerents. There is another
and a kindred question in which I should wish briefly
to touch. I mean the question of blockade. It is
the question which does not usually press very ur-
gently on a nation at peace; hut our attention is
directed to it now because of the blockade of the
Southern ports, and of the interrupticn of commerce
between them and this country which has in conse-
quence been occasioned. It, however, involveseon-
siderations with respect to which it is undesirable
we should decide absolutely without very earnest and
careful consideration. My hon. friend's argument is
that taking ships at see, as the Alabama is taking
those of the Federal States now, is a description of
warfare less horrible than cannonading a town. He
says that we are bound to make a war as harassing
as we can to those to whom we are opposed, and that
then the people engaged in commerce and industrial
pursuits generally affected by it will entreat their
Government to put an end to it. Lord Palmerston,
on the other hand, maintains that no nation is induced
to sue for peace as the result of any embarrassment to
its commerce ; and so far I believe he is right, for I,
for one, do not think you can bring any nation, in op-
position to its own passions or supposed rights and
interests, to consent to peace by the destruction or
capture of its vessels. The moment you have a dis-
turbance such as war creates, the moment you have a
host of your merchants whose interest it is that the
contest be prolonged,the moment you get large stocks
and high prices, that moment you haven party whose;
material welfare is deeply involved in its continua
ante. What, for instance, would be the result to
many men in Liverpool if the news were now to
arrive that an armistice had taken place between
the contending forces in America ? Ruin to several
who to-day consider themselves to be rolling in
wealth would be the consequence. It does not,
therefore, follow that because war disturbs coma
merce you are to bring the commercial element of
country vigorously to bear in favour of its cessa-:
tion. The great body of the people, those who are
struggling to live on from 10s. to 30s. a week, may
complain of war and the evils which it entails, but
you never find in the history of this country or any
other that the mercantile classes strongly urge
upon their Government the necessity of making
peace when once war with all its horrors has broken
out. Now, with respect to the question of blockadei
I may observe that so far as the European Powers
are concerned, it must appear perfectly clear that
the blockade is at an end. You could not blockade
Russia during► the European war, for her commerce
passed through Prussia. You could not blockade
Prussia nor France nor Spain nor Italy nor Austria.
Seeing that the railways of Europe enter into and
pass out of every considerable country on the conti-
nent, it is pretty evident that unless you go to war
with them all—a view of the matter which I am
sorry to see some Englishmen uphold—(a laugh)—
a blockade is virtually of little use. As to the
United States, it seems to me that a blockade in
that quarter is absolutely impossible, and my opi-
nion therefore is, with regard to the question of in-
ternational law and the question of blockade—at
war though my opinions on these subjects may be
with tradition and those which many Englishmen
entertain—l yet believe that the more these ques-
tions are thoroughly investigated the more we are
driven to the conclusion that it is the interest of all
nations, andespecially of England, instead of going
backward, to render its action more humane and
more in accordance with the moral code. Who
opposes these alterations ? The Government of
England only. Russia and France would have ac-
cepted the propositions of the United States with
regard to free ships as well as free cargoes, and so
far as putting an end to everything like a commer-
cial blockade. If war were made less savage, the
passions of men less aroused, and peace made more
possible, as I think it would be by means of the
change which I have indicated, then the minds of
men would, when difficulties happened to spring up
between nation and nation, be directed to other
modes of settling their disputes than a resort to
arms. As it is, we are not advanced in point of
fact much beyond the savage Red Indian. Twelve
months ego, for instance, when this country was
told through its press that an insult was offered to
it, though no insult was meant, we did not wait to
know whether it was intended to insult us or not,
but we sent 10,000 men across the Atlantic to
threaten a nation which could put a million of men
under arms. If a different temper would prevail,
and if, when a dispute happened to arise between us
and France, or Russia, or the United States, men
would in the first instance look to some mode of
settlement of the d:spute other than an appeal to
arms, my opinion is that the difficulty might be
smoothed over much more speedily and with an ex-
penditure of blood and treasure far less costly than
in 99 cases out of 100 we now arrive at. (Cheers.)
admit that I have formed strong opinions on this
subject. I make due allowance for all those who
take a contrary view, and I would advise no Cham-
ber of Commerce to commit itself hastily to a deci-
sion on the point one way or the other. Our states-
men are fearful of going beyond the prejudices of
the people they govern, and are tie full of supersti-
tion as the rest of us in many things. One of our
poets says,—

" Old politicians preach on wisdom past,
And totter on in business to the last."
Statesmen who commenced their public career
during the great war with France are not likely
at their time of life to hold opinions so very dif-
ferent from those which they first found in vogue ;
still I must say that Lord Palmerston did on one
occasion, at Liverpool, express opinions entirely in
accord with those I am now uttering. I suppose.
he found that he had gone a little too fat for Lord
Derby or Lord Russell, and therefore he was
obliged last Session to go back a little, and speak
and vote against that which he had himself advo-
cated, or at least had hoped for in strong language,
when addressing the merchants of Liverpool. Yet
even these old statesmen learn something. We have
lately had an instance of this, which is very conso-
latory to me. I allude to their willingness to cede
the lonian Islands to Greece. That little Republic
is is occupied by a population not greater

wished it had not been made, yet every man hae
