THE BANK DiuECTORS AND

CLERKS.

The, Court of Directors of the Bank of England, on the
Bth inst., passed some re olutions to establish a guarantee
fund for the clerks of t ha. establishment in lieu of finding
securities. According to these resolutions each clerk in
the service of the Bank is, on or before the sth of next
July, to pay 2s. per coot. on the amount of security re-
quired under the existing system, and is to pay a like
amount on every ensuing sth of April until five payments
have been made. The sums raised by these contributions
are to be invested in Consols or Three per Cent. Reduced,
and to stand in the names of the Governor and Deputy
Governor under the title of " The Guarantee Fund for the
Clerks of the Bank of England," until, with the in-
vestments of the interest, the fund shall amount to
6,0001. stock. This fund is to be held for the pur.
pose of making good any losses by. the acts or defdulis
of the clerks, and the resolution of the Court of
Directors is to be tha authority for the sale of so
much stock as they shall specify, the demand being, how.
aver, limited to the actual sum for which the clerks will
have been required to give security. The Directors may,
upon their own terms. admit a clerk again to become a
subscriber to the fund, after a demand has been made
upon .t to meet ?he losses occasioned by his defaults.
When the fund is reduced by claims, the interest on the
remainder is to be invested until the fund shall again
amount to 6,000/. stock, provided the reduction shall not
be to the extent of 1,300/. ; but if it be reduced to that
amount, each subscribing clerk is on the quart--day next
succeeding the reduction to pay a sum not exceeding
per sent., and continue paying on every sth of April till
the 6,000/. stock is again reinstated. Accumulations of
interest, subscriptions, &c., beyond the limit of the 6,000/.
are to be paid to the Clerks' Widows Fund; but the Di.
rectors are at liberty to extend the limit if they think fit.
Clerks elected into the service of the Bank are at once
to pay 10s. per cent. on the surn for which security is
required, and clerks appointed to situations, whereby a
greater amount of security is required of them, are to pay
in addition to their former payments the sum of 10s. per
cent., and not be subjected to further payment, except
in the case of a reduction beyond 1,3001. As for the bonds
now held on behalf of the clerks, the sureties, but not the
clerks themselves, are to be considered discharged on the
completion of the fifth annual payment, and the clerks
may anticipate the payments, if they wish to release their
securities, while clerks who have not given bonds already,
are to give their personal bonds, which the Bank may put
in suit in case of default, in order to make good a loss to
the guarantee fund. In the case of minors a bond is to be
given by a surety. That the system may not he adhered
to if it is not found to answer its purpose, the Bank re-
serves to itself the right of returning the subscriptions,
and reverting to the system at present existing.—Times
