The object of the Company is for the transaction of all
Panki7 business at SYDNEY, LAUNCESTON, ADE-
LAIDE, PORT PHILIP, and such other places as the Di
rectors may deem advisable ; and it is intended to apply, as far
as possible, the system which has proved so successful in Scot-
land.

The extraordinary progress which the Australasian Colonies
have made within the last few years, the continued flow of emi-
gration towards them, together with the high value of money
there, call for an increased number of establishments of this de-
scription, and the prosperous condition of the Banks already in
operation is a sufficient guarantee that under prudent manage-
ment this Investment must prove a most profitable and secure
one to the Shareholders, as high rates of interest are obtained
with perfect security in a country where, from well ascertained
data, Capital is improving at rates varying from .50 to 75 per
cent. per annum.

Nor can the prosperity of Banking operations connected with
those Colonies be better illustrated than by reference to the
satisfactory Report of the Directors of the Union Bank of
Australia, presented to the Proprietors at their General Meet-
ing, on the 3d of February, and by the follo.ving extract from
the Rev. Henry Carmichael's Pamphlet on New South Wales,
wherein he observes—." There are at present in Sydney three
Joint Stock Banking Companies in operation, with a paid-up
capital of ablut 80,000/. each ; which divide a profit annually
of from 20 to 25 per cent. His Excellency Sir James Stirling
also, in his recent work on Western Australia, says, in allusion
to the Western Bank of Australia, " The second half-year ieft
a clear profit over the expenditure of 14 and a half per cent.,
which, after setting aside one-fifth as an accumulating fund,
according to an existing rule, enabled the Directors to declare a
divalend of 11 and a half per cent. on the paid-up capital ;at
the close of the year no dishonoured bill remaining on hand, nor
had the Solicitor of the Bank to commence a single suit for the
recovery of a debt due to it."
The Directors have for some time been making arrangements
for immediately carrying into effect the objects of the Com-
pany; and in order to advance the influence of the Bank in the
Colonies, they have reserved a portion of the shares for distri-
bution there.
As the principal part of the business must necessarily be car-
ried on in the Colonies, it has been thought inexpedient to
have a numerous Board of Directors in London : it has there-
fore been determined that the number shall not at any time
exceed ten ; but to secure the prudent administration of the
affairs of the Bank, a complete system of superintendence is
now being organized by the Directors for the Establishments
in the Colonies.
A sufficient capital has already been subscribed to enable the
Directors to commence business immediately. They have
therefore resolved, in order to avoid the inconvenience which
has been found to arise in other undertakings from an unre-
stricted application of shares, and to induce only those to apply
who wish to become bona fide proprietors, not to entertain any
application unless made in the printed forms provided by them
for that purpose, and accompanied by a payment of 2/. upon
each share applied for, the Directors reserving to themselves,
at the time of appropriation, the right to reject or comply with
such application, either in whole or in part, the money to he
returned if the application be rejected, and to be placed to the
credit of the party in respect of the shares allotted to him
if accepted. _ _

For the guidance of those who may wish to become proprie-
tors, it may be mentioned, that it is not in contemplation to
call up more than 10/. per share for the next twelve months.
The Directors have postponed filling up the London Board
to the full number of ten, in order to give them the opportunity
of selecting influential proprietors, whose assistance and co-
operation they may think it advisable to secure for the interests
of the concern ; power 1; reserved to them for that purpose,
and they are also authorized to complete all other arrangements
necessary for putting the Company into immediate operation.

Perspiration. It is gentlemanly, light, and portable, has no
singularity of appearance, and is adapted for general use at all

" Pauc taciturn dolorem continebant."—Lev.
AS manhood approaches, the human form, coun-
tenance, voice, and the whole intellectual character,
undergo a revolution. Love is the end and sum of life, creating
images after image of ideal perfection. But in the present state of
s,ciety, pure aed virtuous enjoyment is often postponed and ob.
squirted, till the excess of youthful impetuosity impels to a course
of wild and injurious indulgence, and tne mind becomes painfully
harassed by alternations of fears, disgust, and passion. In this state
relief is perhaps sought from the inexperienced, perhaps from the
ignorant ; in either case at the expense of health, that being only
palliated which should have been effectually'cured. 'Here we propose
to step in and rescue the victim of unwise indulgence from the
pangs of remorse, disappointed hope, and disease; and we pledge
ourselves to eradicate every taint of syphilitic poireas. and to restore
ro it wonted energy every relaxation of the getiesative economy,
whether from this or other causes, whereby the dtgwitl. 'f manhood
shall have become impaired; equally conterri.itik uateeling empy-

" But of the countries we have above mentioned as being
peculiarly Protestant, it is remarkable that Protestantism

ture."—Page 42, Mr. O'Connell's First Letter to the

they should be revised, or a new translation made. On which

Decree appointed them to make a new translation."—P, 379,

" We observe in a pamphlet, ' Anti-Deist,' published by
Mr. Bellamy, that Exodus, c. iii, v. 22, is a gross mistransla-
tion. He notices a number of other errors in the translation
of the Bible now in use, equally hostile to the true meaning of
the writers. It is not a little curious, that many of these mis-
translated passages, which give meanings in direct opposition to
the real ones, have been as stoutly defended by eminent theo-
logians as any in the whole took, and long commentaries have
been written upon them, expressly to show their beauty and
propriety."—The Examiner, Dec. 24, 1821.
" University Education." " The great resorts and seats of
learning often outlive in this way the intentions of founders, as
the world outgrows them. Our Universities are, in a great
measure, become cisterns to hold, not conduits, to disperse,
knowledge. The age has the start of them, that is, other
sources of knowledge have been opened since their formation, tc
which the world have had access, and have drank plentifully at
these living fountains, from which they are debarred by the
tenor of thir Charter, and as a matter of dignity and privilege.
All that has been invented or thought in the last two hundred
years they take no cognizance of, or as little as possible, they
are above it, they stand upon the ancient land-marks, and will
not budge, whatever wasnot known when they were endowed, they
are still in profound and lofty ignorance of."—flazlitt's Table
Talk: also, the Examiner, Jan. 20, 1828.
" Who kills a man kills a reasonable creature, God's
image ; but he who destroys a good book, kills reason itself,
kills the image of God, as it were in the eve. Many a man
lives a burden to the earth ; but a good book is the precious
life-blood of a master-spirit, embalmed and treasured up on
purpose to a life beyond life. It is true, no age can restore a
life, but revolutions of ages do not oft recover the loss of a
rejected truth, for the want of which whole nations fare the
worse. We should be wary, therefore, what persecution we
raise against the living labours of public men, how we blight
that seasoned life of man, preserved and stored up in books ;
since we see a kind of homicide may be thus committed, some-
times a martyrdom ; and if it extend to the whole impression,
a kind of massacre, whereof the execution ends not in the
slaying of an elemental life, but strikes at the ethereal and
faith essence, the breath of reason itself, slays an immor-
tality rather than a life."—Areopagitica, Milton.
National Education.—“ The Bishop of Norwich said the
race of clergy which was now passing away had had the most
favourable opportunity of instituting schools in their parishes,
and of educating the people in the principles of the Church of
England. If this had been done thirty years ago, and educa-
tion extended to teaching the children obedience to and re-
spect for the law, and the frugal husbanding of their mean., it
would have been impossible to have raised infuriated bands of
malcontents like the Chartists of the present day, and England
would have a very different aspect. He did not cast a general
condemnation on the clergy of that period, for many of them
had fully done their duty ; but he regretted that so golden an
opportunity had passed--an opportunity that would take the
greatest labour and energy of those anxious to impose on the
rising generation to reclaim."
The Sun, No. 14,657, August the Bth, 1839.
" We cannot on this occasion lay down our pen without en-
deavouring to impress on the religious and Protestant part of
the community, the unspeakable importance of speedily taking
measures to purify and purge the Church."
" If there be truth or consistency in man, sincere Protes-
tants must turn against those who have given such prodigious
vantages to the Pepish superstition."—The Morning Sun,

" I may therefore conclude, that upon this revision-
13ellarny's—of the Hebrew Scriptures, great stress ought
to be laid, as anticipating a closer approximation in sentiment
among all denominations of Christians now at variance with
each other, upon certain disputed points of doctrine—under this
impression, I think all must subscribe to its importance."—
Chester Chronicle, Feb. 20, 1824,
" The Catholic authorized version was first published at
Douay in the year 1609. It was the result of forty years' toil
