It was gratifying to find assembled last evening at the
London Tavern a most numerous meeting of clerks and
others interested in the formation of a Banking Institute.
It has long been felt as a desideratum that no common
centre of action or of intercourse existed as respected
the parties employed in banks, and that for their social
advancement they were left dependent on their own re-
sources, unaided, except in the instance of a few liberal
and enlightened men who preside over private and joint-
stock establishments. For protection against, fraud and
vigilant supervision of legislative measures affecting the
currency, committees have long existed; but it is now
sought to combine in a metropolitan institution the
benefits of a literary club, where the science of banking
can be theoretically illustrated, and, by personal com-
munication, practically enforced. Business rivalry
discarded, the clerks of all the competing banks will
assemble in one locality. Papers will be read upon diffi-
cult and perplexed branches of the subject, and it is not
too much to assume that it will, at a future
time, be deemed creditable to belong to such an institu-
tion, and desirable to form a competent examining body,
who might give certificates of qualification to those who
seek them. This is a mere hint, and it may he right to
observe does not at present enter into the avowed objects
of the promoters. There will be time enough to consider
it hereafter. Mr. Prescott, as well as his worthy
partner, Mr. Cave, spoke excellently to the purpose
when he declared his belief that literary and social in-
tercourse among parties engaged in similar pursuits
almost invariably strengthened the bonds of union
between them, and softened the harder outline of busi-
ness routine and official communication. No man was
better entitled than Mr. Prescott, who throughout life
has been the friend of those engaged in the practical
working of the great banking machinery of the metro-
polis, to enunciate such an opinion. Mr. Gilbart, like-
wise, the founder, as we may say, of joint-stock
banking in this metropolis, was Equally earnest and
equally right in his appreciation of the advan-
tages which, under proper management, may re-
sult from the institute. Having co-operated for-
merly with Mr. Prescott in the establishment of a
general literary and scientific institution, and during his
intimacy and friendship with the latter from that cir-
cumstance, Mr. Gilbart is perfectly competent to speak
of the social gratification that may result. But this gen-
tleman sees much further into the future, and states no
exaggerated view when ho asserts that the ultimate issue
must be benefit not alone to the clerks but to the public
at large. Every one now is more or less interested in
sound and safe banking, and the members of provincial
joint-stock banking boards or of private banking firms
would probably come much seldomer before indignant
shareholders or impoverished customers, if they under-
stood better the duties and dangers as well as the pri-
vileges and profits of the system. If the Monmouth-
shire Bank managers, for example, had paid the
slightest regard to first principles, they would not stand
now before the bar of public opinion convicted of gross
ignorance or of culpable indifference. A matter to
which the institute will direct its attention is that of
guaranteeing persons holding places of trust. It is felt
that by care and research reliable statistics may be
collected, so as to allow of a much more
moderate scale of charges than at present
exists, and the plan of the Bank of England
suggests the course that can be pursued. To
Mr. Dalton, Mr. Shaw, and the other gentlemen of the
committee who have laboured hard to bring about the
establishment of the institute, a debt of gratitude, in-
creasing we hope with time, is obviously due, and the
further working out of the project may be safely left in
their hands, guided as they will be by the advice of the
experienced and talented parties who have consented to
become patrons. In the meanwhile we record with
especial satisfaction the fact of co-operation and pro-
mises of support having been proffered from all parts of
the kingdom, and of liberal subscriptions having already
been entered into. At the meeting last evening there
was a large accession to the names, those present being
induced not only by the candid and lucid explanations
given, but by the positive declaration that the committee
will keep the expenses within the income, and if not will
liquidate the balance themselves. This is not simply
business like and honest—it is also bold and generous.

The business in the Stock Market has been animated,
and there has been considerable buoyancy. There is,
however, an entire absence of speculation, and the trans-
actions are altogether for money. The New Three-and-
a• Quarter per Cents. have been 97- to 98, and the
Three per Cents. 961 to Bank Stock has been firm
at 213 to 214 i. Consols aro up to 971 to f, and are
now 971 R. Exchequer-bills have been at an improve-
ment to 525. and 555. premium.

Foreign Investments have been more dealt in. Spanish
Five per Cents. have been 201 Portuguese Five per
Cents. have realized 861. Mexican Bonds are marked
26f to 27, being well supported. In Northern and
Dutch Bonds there has been more activity.
Railway Shares have been rather easier to buy in
some cases, but there is no general alteration.
