This Company is formed for the purpose of purchasing
the business of the old-established and well-known private
Bank of Messrs. I. Barned and Co. in Liverpool, and organ-
ising it on the broader basis of a joint-stock company, under
the Limited Liability Act.
The Bank, which was founded in 1809, has done a large
and continually-increasing business, and there is no doubt
that in its new and extended form still more satisfactory
results will be realised.
....._

The Directors have received most encouraging promises
of support, bOth in Liverpool and London ; but, in making
the allotment of share; preference will be given to the
present customers of the Bank.

- The purchase money for the business has been fixed at
£160,000, payable by instalments spread over two years, as
stipulated in the agreement; and this sum, on comparing
it with the profits shown by Messrs. I. Barned and Co. to
have been realised, and their guarantee of the assets taken
over, cannot be considered other than a moderate payment
for a lucrative business placed at once in the hands of the
shareholders.
The Bank will take over the business of Messrs. I.
Earned an 1 Co. as from the Ist of July, 1865, and Messrs.
I. Barned and Co. will guarantee the payment of all debit
balances (including bills and credits running) standing in
their books on that day.
The business will have the advantage of the active super-
vision of. the present partners in the Bank, who have agreed
to act as Directors for five years, and will retain a large
interest in the Company.
Messrs. I Barned and Co. are willing to sell at a valua-
tion the present Bank premises, and any of their adjoining
property, if the directors wish to secure it, and, if required,
to leave the purchase money on mortgage for ten years at
4-} per cent. . _

The remuneration of the ordinary Directors is to be fixed
by the shareholders at their annual meetings, but power is
taken in the articles of association to appoint one or more
of their number as Managing Directors, whose extra re-
muneration will be determined by the Board.
Copies of the Company's memorandum and articles of
association, and of the agreement for the transfer of Messrs.
I. Barned and Co.'s business, can be seen at the offices of
the solicitors of the Company.
Application for shares must be accompanied by a pay-
ment of the deposit of £l. per share. In the event of no
allotment being made the deposit will be returned in full.
Should a less number of shares be allotted than are applied
for, the deposit will, so far as required, be applied towards
the payment due on allotment. •
Applications for shares will be received at the bankers,
brokers, solicitors', offices of the Company, and at the
following places :
England—Manohester: Messrs. Cunliffes, Brooks, and Co.
~ Leeds : The Yorkshire Banking Company.

TO THE ELECTORS OF LUDLOW.
Gentlem.n,—ln bidding you farewell it is right that I
should give a few words of explanation.
When returned in 1863 it was understood that at the next
election I should have the united support of the Conservative
party in Ludlow ; this has not been the case, so far as I can
see. Jealousy on the part of those whote influence is necessary
has prevented me obtaining a sufficient number of promises
to ineuce me to persevere.
1 was perfectly prepared for a contest, but to insure both
seats absolute certainty is requisite.
This my successor will, I hope, obtain. I have paid the
utmost attention to your loc,l r an*, having followed pre-
cisely in the ste: sot my predec •ssor, Mr. Bo:field.
Having waited until a Conservative was in the field, I sub-
scribe myself,
S .turday.

" To those who delight in the exercise of their intellectual
powers, these very thoughtful and beautifully-written reflec-
tions will be a welcome boon, and the source long afterwards,
we may rest assured, of many fruitful meditations and plea-
sant memories." —Sun.

REVELATION of QUACKS and QUACKERY.
By DETECTOR.

For notices of this startling work see the "Saturday Re-
view" of April 1, entitled "Quacks and Quackery ;" the
"Weekly aspatch" of April it, "The Quacks and their
Crimes ;" "The Sun" of April 12, "'Detector's' Btoadside
on Quacks and Quackery."

GUIDE TO THE QUACKS OP LONDON.
A Series or Papers relative to Quacks, which appeared in
the " Medical Circular," with the signature of "Detector,"
has been republished in the form of a short pamphlet. The
readerof "Punch" should read this pamphlet also. He has
often read, in the pages of "Punch," of certain Quacks, frau-
dulent and noisome, who obtain money by false pretences,
and more money by menaces and extortion, from green
young men. For their names, which " Punch" would not
advertise, he has referred his readers to the lower corner of
the advertising columns of low newspapers, amongst which
too many of Mr. " Punch's" contemporaries, especially in the
country, may still be enumerated. But now he begs to pub-
lish the information that a nominal list of these miscreants,
with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning
them, needful to be known, will be found in the pamphl t
above referred to, which is entitled "Revelations of Quacks
and Quackery," and is to be had at the " Medical Circular "
Office, 20, King William-street, Strand, W.C.
The vile practices, the monstrous impudence, the cruel
rapacity, and the enormous gains of the obscene tribe of
Quacks, the mischief they do, the ruin they work, even to
the causation of suicide, are fully set forth in " Revelations
of Quacks and Qackery." And mark especially that, as
aforesaid, the names of the Quacks are published. The
pamphlet in question thus constitutes a regular Quack Di-
rectory. by consulting which every young man may know
where he may go if he wishes to get plundered and destroyed.
Buy, therefore, reader, by all means buy " Revelations of
Quacks and Quackery." Its contents will astonish and amuse
you, while they invoke your indignation and disgust. 01
course you do not want it on account of its warnings for your
own sake, but you doubtless do for that of the many simple-
tons with whom you must be acquainted, if your acquaint-
ance is large. " Who are tne Quacim that 'Punch' means I"
Consider what it is to be able to answer this question of the
young and inexperienced, and, for charity's sake, if for no
other, go and provide yourself with " Revelations of Quacks
and Quackery," by Detector.—Punch, April 12.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 3, 1865.

know, however, is, that it occupied Handel from
August 22 to September 14, 1741 ; and that, by
the 29th of October following, he had completed yet
another oratorio, " Samson !" The thing appears
incredible, but it is placed beyond the possibility of
doubt by Handel's own handwriting. Thus, amid
his pecuniary and other distresses, with a long
journey before him, and a " troop " of singers to
provide for, Handel composed " Messiah." We will
say nothing of " Samson," prodigy as that is also ;
it is marvel enough that he composed " Messish"
under these circumstances, because he would take
with him something new for the Irish people. When
was there a theatrical impresario to compare with
Handel ? The " Messiah" is the sixth of Handel's
nineteen English oratorios, and follows next in
order to " Israel in Egypt." Herder calls it " a
Christian epop6e in musical sounds ;" M. Schcelcher
—who cities Herder in his " Life of Handel," which
we wish he had published in French—says better,
that "it forms part of the religion of England." It
is certainly a work which successfully appeals to
every. Christian community that does not look upon
music, quand meme, as an abomination. It has
created a wider impression, and effected more real
good in many ways; than any other great musical
work combined of which the history of the art
makes mention. It possesses the advantage of not
being cast,like the "Passions" of Bach, in a dramatic
form. Jesus does not speak, as in the
" Christus am (Elberg," with which the great
Beethoven, Handel's equal in a totally different
sphere, could scarcely have felt satisfied. The
" Messiah" is wholly narrative and didactic. The
chief incidents of the Redeemer's sojourn among
us are rather hinted at than plainly indicated. The
world's rejoicing at His advent is set forth in the
first ,art and the :lorious result of His mission in

great," multiply on every hand ; but the holes in
which " tag, rag, and bobtail" burrow are mercilessly
earthed-up. His lordship cannot abide those hovels
so near his lodge • besides, they are a constant tax
on his larder. He has them all pulled down, and
the tenants cram anyhow into the nearest village.
They will only have six or seven miles more to walk
to their work and back—a trifle for lusty limbs !
But to return to Whitechapel. What a hand-to-
mouth system prevails ; and provident habits are
most lacking where they are most needed. The
savings are few, and often serve as a temptation to
"go on the drink." Yet if a wet season, or a con-
tinued frost sets in, thousands will be in danger of
starvation. Even a change in fashion, like the
going out of embossed silks, will often throw large
numbers out of work. Labour in the docks and
wharves below London-bridge is especially precari-
ous, and the hands employed vary from 4,000 to
30,000. Woe to the bakers' shops when hunger on
a large scale shall invade the East-end ! Woe to the
rich also ; forthe distinction betweenmeum and tuum
will be forgotten in that day. The poor of White-
chapel have heard indeed the precept, " Thou shalt
not steal ;" but New-court and the rookeries are
continually recommending thievery to their no-
tice. The burglar and his mistress, the pickpocket,
the " area sneak," the " fence," or receiver of stolen
property, are never of the poorest. They live on
better fare ; rise above the misery of high prices ;
frequent the music-halls, and make some one
or other among the company pay for the night's
entertainment. These are the more refined thieves,
but besides them, there are swarms of savage look-
ing men, and coarse, slatternly women, their
paramours—all brutalised thieves. It is not into
their courts that we would advise the West-end
philanthropist to enter, unattended by a constable.

merciless ruffians under heaven, and they would
leave their terrors, their :at-worrying, or cock-
fighting in an instant, to fall upon him like birds of
prey. Of course, sooner or later, justice enacts her
penalty, , the thief is "lagged," and his sentence
pronounced by the bench. But are the discomforts
of a prison, to his mind, greater than those of • a
dock-labourer with an average earning of 7s. 6d. a
week ? Do not thick soup, treacle puddings,
warmth, cleanliness, and abstinence from work on
wet days, convert penal servitude into a kind of
Promised Land ? But enough, we think, has been
said to show how much the East-end may injure the
West, and how greatly the West-end may benefit the
East. All the efforts of the clergyman and the school-
master will be impaired or null till these rotting masses
of males and females are better separated. Like
mouldering fruit, they corrupt each other by contact,
and the first step towards their reformation must be
the erection of model lodging-houses. It is not one
here and -there, like Mr. Waterlow's and Lord
Ingestre's, that will suffice ; nor such as will suit
clerks and skilled labourers,likeMr.Peabody's. What
we want is lodging-houses everywhere, cheap and
commodious, for the lodgers are to be reckoned by
the thousand. True, lodging-house companies might
not succeed as well as other commercial speculations,
but what of that? Is there not wealth and charity
enough at the West-end to trade upon the hope of
moral, spiritual, and social returns, to be content
with no profit the first year, and with 3 or 4 per
cent. afterwards ? Surely it were far better to lose
m this way than to double subscriptions to hospitals,
refuges, and charity schools, which restore, perhaps,
one sickly sheep in a hundred, but leave the ninety
and nine to die together of the rot.

and hath redeemed us to God by His blood," is the
great theme of the final chorus in the last section of
the oratorio. " For unto us a child is born, unto
us a son is given," is that of the most prominent
choral exhibition of the first. In the second only,
the allusions, both prophetic and narrative, from
the Old Testament and the New, to the incidents
of the Passion bring the most absorbing moments
of the earthly career of Jesus intensely before us ;
but this, too, ends with the jubilant " Hallelujah,"
which proclaims His triumph and our salvation.
These are the three great choruses of " Messiah," to
which all the rest is incidental and subordinate. A
more dramatic form would not have fitted the sub-
ject of the Redemption ; and with all the genius of
Mendelssohn, it is fair to doubt whether his
" Christus," intended to be an epitome of the life
of the Saviour, from the birth to the Ascension,
would, whatever the grandeur of the music, have
found in the end such general favour as his less
ambitious oratorios " St. Paul" and " Elijah."
That it could ever supersede " Messiah," the most
enthusiastic partisans of Mendelssohn would have
been as unlikely as Mendelssohn to imagine.
" THE LONDON REVIEW " ON THE EAST AND
WEST ENDS.-If modern Babylon has its head of
gold, it has also its feet of clay; if the one is seen
towering superbly among trees of St. James's Park,
the towers of Westminster, and the squares of Bel-
gravia, the others may be tracked amid mire and filth
through noisome lanes and crowded courts of White-
chapel. But what does Belgravia or Pall-mall know
of Whitechapel and the Docks? It has never even
seen them, except when whisked along as by magic
above the level of their narrow streets, or when sail-
ing gaily and swiftly through a forest of masts on
the Thames. " Paris I know, and Brussels I know,
but who are ye ?" Such is its language. It is
familiar with the lakes of Cumberland, the High-
lands, the Drachenfels, and the Tiber winding
through its marble wilderness. Not to be familiar
with these would be a disgrace indeed ; but what
has the West-end of London in common with the
East, with the rookeries, and the homes of the great
unwashed? What are the masses in Shoreditch to
the elite of Belgrave-square ? " Let the people eat
grass," said old Foulon during the scarcity of 'B9 ;
and many a West-end matron, who will not adven-
ture to set the sole of her foot on the pavement for
delicateness, would, if you talked to her of destitu-
tion in the East, feel little more concern than Fou-
lon for the diet of its poor. No one is eligible to
the Travellers' Club who has not " travelled out of
the British islands to a distance of at least 500
miles from London in a direct line," but are any of
those gentlemen required to have journeyed as far as
Bethnal-green and the Isle of Dogs ? How many
of the existing members would be found qualified
for the club if were clogged with such conditions ?
No : practically the head of gold says the feet
of clay are not of the body ; but rre they, there-
fore, not of the body ? If these members suffer,
will not all the members suffer with them s If
the feet of clay become unsteady or inert, if
they dance in mad freak, stamp with wild fury and
kick, or frisk fearlessly along the brink of political
and social precipices, will not the great image also
begin to reel, and the golden glories of the head be
abased ? A nation has ere now gone mad, as
Bishop Butler predicted that it might. Let the
West-end look well to it, lest dog-days come, in
which the East-end shall be bitten ; remembering
what no mean seer has told us, that the " earth
itself is but a larger kind of doghutch—occasionally
going rabid." If the home traveller, who has
reached the broad-way extending from the Minories
to Whitechapel Church, will turn aside from its
numerous public-houses and butchers' shops, and
pierce the narrow openings which issue from it on
either side, he will soon discover how much the East-
end has need of the West, and how much the West-
end has to fear from the East. Where formerly, as
Stow relates, rose fair hedgerows of elm trees, with
bridges and easy styles to pass over into the plea-
sant fields, very commodious for citizens therein to
walk, shoot, and otherwise to recreate and refresh
their dull spirits in the sweet and wholesome air, a
thousand pestilent courts now swarm with beggary,
ignorance, andvice. If the wandefer in this Mesheck
has visited Rome, he is reminded of the Ghetto,
when he sees to what an extent the system of living
in the street prevails, notwithstanding our untoward
climate. It is, so far as health is concerned, a re-
medy in part for the evils resulting from over-
crowded hovels, and as such we may rejoice in it.
But for the rising generation it is the prelude to a
life of vagrancy. Ragged, muddy, and half-naked,
the little creatures patter about the kennels, with
garbage, oyster shells, and broken crockery for toys,
while their elder brothers gamble with buttons and
halfpennies, wrangling and blaspheming beneath
the crowded passage to their courts. Many of them
are turned out of doors to seek their food for
the day. Many are orphans or deserted—to be
swept into the maelstrom of crime, unless rescued
betimes betimes by the Ragged or Charity Schools.
Their minds and ,bodies are alike unfed, and.the
ignorance which exists among such children and
young persons has lately been brought before the
public very prominently in the Report of the Chil-
dren's Employment Commission. It has proved by
careful inquiry that, in spite of all the efforts made
to instruct and reclaim them, a large proportion of
those who work in factories between the ages of 7
and 18 are utterly ignorant of the most elementary
knowledge. Many will tell you that " Queen Vic-
toria is the Prince of Wales," that " a violet is a
pretty bird," that " nobody has a soul," that they
do not know who made the world, and that " the
devil is a good man." To such young people,
whether in the street or in factories, instinct is the
only law. If they are hungry they steal ; what can
be more natural ? There are pickpockets of five
years old, and skilled practitioners of seven ! If the
gentlemen of the West-end, who live at home at
ease, would judge of their moral condition, let them
inspect the densely-crowded rooms, where children
and adults of every age and each sex pig together
without air or light. Or if they will leave town
every season without any personal effort to relieve
the misery in the East, let them tread in the steps of
Dr. Hunter and visit the cottages of the poor within
a mile of their park-gate. He has examined 5,375
such dwellings in various counties, and his statements
dislose a painful and shocking state of things.
About half the number contained one bedroom only,
with an average of four persons sleeping in each
room. Mr. Simon, the medical officer to the Privy
Council, gives particular instances of packing in
Cambridgeshire and Essex, which remind us more
of the hold of an emigrant ship than of those ideal
haunts of peace which honeysuckles clasp and elms
overshadow. In one place six adults, without
counting children, huddle together by night ; and
in another eight adults in a hut measuring 12 feet
6 inches square ! In Lubenham, Leicestershire, a
married pair, two youths of twenty and eighteen, a
girl of seventeen, and a grandchild, live in one bed-
room • while grown-up daughters with their natural
children lie constantly strewn on the floor with their
brothers leaving the parents to occupy some miss-.
rable bedstead. The population increases ; but,
both in town and country, house-room has been on
the decrease during the last ten years. Houses have
been destroyed to a considerable extent during that
period in 821 separate parishes or townships in
England. In 1861 the • population of these places,
though 5 and a third per cent. greater than in 1851,
was squeezed into house-room 41 per cent. less.

THE " SPECTATOR" ON PRIVILEGE IN AMERICA.
—Democracy in America, it is becoming evident,
has to pass through one more trial. It has come
victorious out of a war which would have crushed
any European monarchy except the British, and has
overcome a rebellion before which even Great Bri-
tain might possibly have succumbed. It has secured
by four years of desperate effort, during which it has
had to discover the men who can organize force as
well as to develope the force itself, the control of a
continent and the emancipation of a race, and now
it has to accomplish a feat greater even than these.
Our Americthi friends will listen with annoyed in-
credulity when we describe the task yet remaining
to be performed, but it is none the less one which
will test their trusted system, far more than the
struggle which they have won. That was a question
of force, and even Tories like Sir Archibald Alison
have long since conceded that democracy when •it
possesses force at all, possesses it in a nearly
irresistible degree. Nothing can withstand millions
of freemen, when all are willing to sacrifice all
rather than the Republic should suffer a decline.
But democracy has now to develope a quality inde-
finitely higher than force, a quality which demo-
cracies are apt to despise, which the American de-
mocracies avowedly does despise—the delicate and
subtle statesmanship which can carry through a
social revolution without destroying the bonds by
which society exists. The Federal Government,
victorious in war and not unsuccessful in diplomacy,
able to place a million of men in the field, and to
keep 600 armed vessels engaged in a blockade—
shat, the strangest fact of the war, has almost escaped
attention—has now, when resistance has apparently
ceased, to change 11 oligarchical States into 11.
democratic and free republics, and every
which arrives displays more clearly the difficulty
of the task. In eleven States, all faithful or submis-
sive to the Union, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi, Florida, Louisiana, and Texas, there is
a silent struggle going on, nominally as to the
position of the negro, really as to the question,
old as civilisation, whether the basis of society is to
be equality or privilege. Equality of legal rights is
the strength of the North, yet it is unwilling to
establish it in the South by force; privilege is the
passion of the South, and though defeated in the
great struggle for its final recognition as the key-
stone of society, it cannot bear to surrender the
long-enjoyed possession. Privilege, therefore, .in
some shape the " South"—by which we in this in-
stance mean all recently slaveholding States—is
determined to retain. In Virginia the masters,
with the fine instinct of capital for its imme-
diate interests, have combined to fix the rate
of wages for coloured men at five dollars a
month, just one-third the hiring price of slaves,
and about one-fourth the rate which the coloured.
men, if free to work or be idle, would be .to
accept. In Tennessee, which has regained its re-
stricted independence, the Legislature has deprived
the blacks of the special right of freemen, that of
bearing witnesses,and has imposed a special penalty
on rape if committed by the inferior colour. In
Louisiana the white is privileged to do nothing ;
while the black, even if he prefers to starve, must
work under somebody's orders. In. North Carolina
the free schools are restricted to whites; in Arkansas
and some other States the free locomotion of blacks
is forbidden ;
and in
.all political power is confined
not to property, or ed tication, or even ancient birth,
but to men whose skins are devoid of a shade of the
detested colour. Many of these rules are
in themselves, as temporary rules, defensible,
and probably all • deserve less opprobrium
than freemen will be disposed to believe.
It is absolutely essential to construct a system under
which
two races differing widely in civilisation, in
physical power, in those tendencies which spring of
race, and those desires which arise from cultivation,
shall live together, if not in amity, at least in mutual
respect. How is the necessity to be met ? Let the
Government, says the American Radical, and the
Anglo-Indian, enforce for a series of years equal and
somewhat stern justice, and the end will be attained,
a s it is in Ireland between Catholics and Protestants,
in Russia between serfs and nobles, in India between
natives and settlers.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

MIDLAND GREAT WESTERN.

An adjourned special meeting of this company
was held on Thursday in Dublin, Mr. J. Ennis,
M.P., in the chair, for the purpose of authorizing
the directors to raise £300,000.

The CHAIRMAN stated that there had been an ad-
journment until some definite communication was
had with the Treasury or Chancellor of the Exche-
quer on the subject of a loan to the company. He
concluded by moving a formal resolution cancelling
£175,000 shares in the capital stock of the company,
created under the powers of previous Acts, and au-
thorizing that, in lieu thereof, and also in lieu of
£126,000 of the remaining unissued shares, the com-
pany raise £300,000 by the creation and issue of
shares or stock at par, with a preference not exceed-
ing £5 per cent. per annum.
_Mr. STIRLING seconded the motion,
Captain G-OFF moved an amendment to s theep t e effectb e
r
that £200,000 be raised now, and the remaining
£lOO,OOO after the approval of the m
meeting.
Lord CASTLEMAINE seconded the amendment.

After a long discussion it was ultimately resolved that
the company should raise a sum of £200,000 by the
creation and issue of preference shares, bearing in.
