and 1845, which, without the slightest necessity
for such a proceeding, and in direct violation of
good faith, subjected the Scottish system of bank-
ing to the most uncalled for and mischievous re-
strictions. Before that time the business in bank-
ing had been perfectly free and unfettered, and,
although large capital had been invested therein,
and great accommodation thereby rendered to the
trade and commerce of the country, the privilege
had never been abused. The managemeht was
so sound that there was not the slightest danger
of loss, or even of panic. The 11. notes of the
different establishments circulated freely from
hand to hand, and were greatly preferred as a
medium of exchange to the gold coin, which were
seldom seen, except when offered by some
wandering tourist, and were forthwith exchanged
for " the worthless rags," so greatly despised by
the bullionists. The various banks, 17 in num-
ber, had capital actually paid up to 11,726,2601.,
or about 41. per head for the entire population.
This was one of the great causes of the national
prosperity, beneficial alike to the shareholders who
received handsome dividends, and to the com-
munity at large, who had every reasonable facility
for obtaining pecuniary advances at moderate
rates.

Lorcha, and waives the discussion of them ; but
he affirms, what few reasonable persons now can
doubt, that the great mistake consisted in not in-
forcing in 1842 our treaty right of entry, at Can-
ton, as at the other ports. A second time also,
Sir Jinni DAVIS, after having destroyed many of
the forts, and having a fleet at his disposal, con-
sented to defer the right of entry far two years I
At the end of this time a new Governor had
arrived, and the difficulty with him and
the mob was as great as ever. Mr. FORTUNE
and all persons who properly estimated the Chi-
nese character, knew that this would be the case.
The Chinese were, in fact, rendered less concilia-
atory by our moderation, they took it for conscious
weakness. Mr. FORTUNE tells us, that the Chi-
nese, " as a nation cannot fight, but they are first-
rate diplomatists ; on the other hand, we can
win battles, and then allow ourselves to be
outwitted by the diplomacy of a nation whom we
despise in the field." Will Lord PALMERSTON be
outwitted by YEil and the EMPEROR, at Canton.
as he was by Louis NAPOLEON and the CZAR at
Paris?

Mr. FORTUNE contrasts the results of decision
at Foo-chow-foo, one of the five ports opened to
us, with those of imbecile hesitation at Canton.
" Our consul at Foo-chow•foo, the late Mr.
LAW, alone and unaided, forced his way
through the gates, and took up a temporary resi-
dence in a joss-house inside the walls. The man-
darins, finding one man determined to secure our
treaty rights, gave up the point I" What evils
might not a little similar determination, with the
force too at our command, have easily prevented
at Canton ?

The first interference naturally astonished the
People, for a solemn assurance had been delibe-
rately given that "all legislation affecting Scotch
and Irish Banking would be postponed until next
session (that of 1845)." But this pledge was
basely disregarded, an amendment (?) was carried
at the eleventh hour, by which the prohibition of
new banks of issue in England was extended to
the whole of the United Kingdom, and copse-
qnently no bank has since been formed, notwith-
standing the large addition to the commerce and
manufactures of the country-. The restriction of
the issues of the existing banks was provided by
the enactment of the subsequent session, and thus
the whole mischief was occasioned !
The petitioners clearly show that these enact-
ments, which confer a virtual monopoly on the
existing banks, are totally opposed to the prin-
ciples of free trade, which were shortly afterwards
recognised by Sir ROBERT PEEL himself. They
justly remark that it is " impossible, in the na-
ture of things, that there can be free trade in
commodities, in the true sense, if the trade in the
very means or instruments, by which commodities
are to be measured or estimated and interchanged,
is a monopoly in the hands of a comparatively
few privileged parties, whose interests are adv erse
to the interests of all other classes of the commu-
nity!" This is a great fact that cannot be sufficiently
impressed on professing Free-traders. Although
granaries may be filled to overflowing, the people
may starve, if every transaction must be measured
by Government inspectors, too few to do the
business. A want of the means of transit would
be equally prejudicial, and yet either case may
be regarded as analogous to the scarcity of cur-
rency, by means whereof all transactions must be
arranged.
Jt may be desirable that some security should
be given by parties desirous of starting a new
banking establishment, as a guarantee for their
solvency, and a margin to prevent the probability
of a failure, to meet the just demands of the
noteholders and depositors. We place both classes
of creditors in the same category, inasmuch as if
there were any winding-up or proceedings in
bankruptcy, their claims should be liquidated peri
passu, and the same rate of dividend would be
paid to each. This, however, is altogether ignored
by the framers of the law. They only profess to
regulate the issue, although any refusal to pay
the cheque of a depositor would be just as inju-
rious, as the inability to pay specie for a note
brought in. A reasonable "caution" or guarantee
may therefore be fairly asked for; but why
should that necessarily be in gold, the hold-
ing
,whereof is completely unprofitable, and in
the case of Scotland absolutely uncalled for ?
It merely displaces so much capital in another
shape, which gives equal security to the note-
holders and depositors, and has the advantage of
being productive in some way. It is the course
adopted by him who buried his talent, and did
not oven put it out to interest.
The great principle of unrestricted competition
is, that whenever prices are unduly increased, and
exorbitant rates of profits are obtained, industry
and enterprise will be stimulated until the
supply is proportioned to the demand. But while
that demand has increased, is increasing, and
will increase, the supply is fixed and remains
stationary. It is, in fact, monopoly. in its most
monstrous form, because it even prevents the
monopolists themselves from meeting t'ie addi-
tional claims on their enterprise.
The petitioners say that there should be " as
much freedom in banking as in baking—in the
supply of money as in the supply of food ; and
that cheap or low prices for the one are not more
important, than cheap or low rates of usance or
interest for the other." These are wholesome
truths, which are just as applicable to this side of
the Tweed as to North Britain. We earnestly
trust that they may receive the calm and attentive
consideration which their vast importance so fully
requires. And that every unfair restriction on
the formation of new banking establishments.
And on the issue of bank notes for small denomi-
nations thereby, may be completely removed ;
and that if any guarantee be required for the
quasi convertibility of these notes it may be
deemed as satisfactory, if offered in Government
Securities as in bullion.

The opinion of this well-informed writer agrees
with that of all others acquainted with Asiatics,
on the imperative necessity of making no conces-
sions, but exacting to the full any demand once
made. Concessions, with their training and
habits, can be understood only in one light----as a
sign of fear. Even had we been wrong it would
now be cruelty to all parties to give way in the
least. The slightest appearance of yielding would
embolden the Chinese to fresh violence and in-
solence, and end in creating the causes of future
and early, and- probably bloodier wars. Mr.
COBDEN'S party are answerable for the late war,
and the exhaustion of the French and des-
potic policy of Louis NaroixoN will be
answerable for the next diplomatic and
military aggression of the more than half-
Asiatic Russians ; and anything, now, short of
a policy which makes the Chinese recognise the
superiority of our civilisation, our power, and our
diplomacy too, will be a fruitful cause of war and
blood !

Mr. FORTUNE deems it essential that we should
demand a free entrance into Canton, however un-
important in itself, for our merchants, mission-
aries, or any one who chooses to go, as well as for
officials; just as at the other five ports. lie
thinks, however, that we ought now to require
the abolition of all these limitations, and
insist on free access to any port and to any
part of the Empire, also on direct communi-
cation with the Court of Pekin. China cannot
long remain isolated from the community of
nations, approached as she is by Russians on the
Amoor, and by English and Americans on her
seaboard. The sooner, therefore, she is re-
quired to treat other nations as what they
really are, at least to treat them as equals,
the better for her as well for us. And, the
same force which is necessary to secure better tem-
porary relations might secure the fullest liberty of
intercourse. China has no means of resistance,
and nothing, but our being outwitted again in dip-
, lomacy, can prevent things being placed on a basis
which will need no revision.
The writer sums up with the following conclu-
sions:---" That it is useless to attempt to negotiate
with a man like Commissioner YEH ; we must
have communication with the Court of Peking.
2dly. The Island of Chusan is the most suitable
point from which we may conduct our negotia-
tions, both on account of its position, and as it is
the most healthy part of China for troops.
3dly. If tho lives and property of foreign mer-
chants are to be safe ai Canton, the mandarins
and mob must be taught to treat us with more
respect. 4.thly. The other four ports ought to
be respected, provided they do not mix them-
selves up in our quarrel with the Cantonese.
sthly. China ought to be opened, and all those
foolish restrictions imposed by the last treaty on
our trade to be swept away. 6thly. In conduct-
ing our operations the nature of the climate ought
to be carefully considered, with a view to preserve
the lives of our soldiers and sailors."

From his intimate acqnaintance with the Indus.
try, productions, and wants of the Chinese, espe-
cially in the interior, Mr. FORTUNE is confident
that the .opening for interchange of commercial
produce between ourselves and this 300,000,000
of people is literally boundless. In the interests
of humanity and religion, not less than of com-
merce and civilisation, he would urge that the
present opportunity should be used for completely
opening the Empire to Europeans.

It is due to the writer whose views we have
just remarked upon, to add, that his whole book
is full of interest at the present time ; it is far
more valuable to Englishmen than that of M.
Hue. Mr. FORTUNE'S business engagments and
his personal character gained him the entire con-
fidence of the natives generally, and we feel that
we know Chinamen much bettor after having
perused it.

The great want of the nation is a really na-
tional note, receivable for every tax and. duty, and
which being regulated by Parliament, and based on
taxation, could not possibly be in excess. Every
private or joint-stock bank should also be allowed
to issue its own notes, convertible into the Go.
vernment paper, and that convertibility ensured
by the deposit of an adequate amount in Consols,
Exchequer-bills, or any other approved security.
That would give free trade in currency, with full
and ample security ; all, in fast, that could be
desired to prevent the possibility of loss to either
noteholders or depositors, and to secure that great
desideratum—a circulation adequate to the wants
of the country.

MILITARY INQUIRY.--ENROLLED

PENSIONERS.

LATEST NEWs.

[FROM A CORRESPONDENT.]

Government has reduced, and is reducing the
army as much as a due regard to the national and
eternal interests of the country will justify and
sanction ; determining wisely and properly that
the nation shall not be called upon to keep up
and maintain a single branch, which, after long
years of trial, has not proved itself effective for
those active duties-required by the country. The
hour—an hour long foreseen—has at last ar-
rived, when it becomes the imperative duty of
the Government immediately to order a strict
and rigid and searching investigation into
the organisation, the expense, and effi-
ciency of—what is called—the Enrolled Pen-
sion Force—a force, whose civil-military charac-
ter ingenuity itself would find it no easy matter
to describe. This inquiry, which, in its results,
will prove permanently important to the country,
must not be entrusted to the military authorities
at the War-office (we speak not of the independent
character of the Commander-in-Chief ); it must
be confided to a military officer of high rank and
standing, of tried judgment and experience, and of
independent character. The country at once
points to the Inspector-General of Infantry,
Sir Colin Campbell, as the officer best fitted to
conduct this inquiry—his honest, upright, and
noble mind being a full and complete guarantee
that this duty will be fulfilled, sternly, perhaps,
but most faithfully and justly, in the interests of
the country.

The Enrolled Pensioner Force was organised by
Lord Ha/dingo when Secretary at War in 1843-4.
It is wellknown that it was disapproved of by the
Duke of Wellington, who considered that it would
prove a most, expensive and most useless force,
and it was strongly opposed in Parliament.
Returns and estimates will prove that, from
its first establishment, it has cost the country
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS, and it will be equally
proved, that in return for this enormous and
uncalled for expense, it has not done one
real good military service for the country,
at home •or abroad ; nor must we fail
emphatically to add, that this most expensive
force has not, by a single man, relieved the severe
pressure upon our active army, even during the
hard exigencies of war. Government is, there-
fore, bound, in duty to the country, to institute
a strict and rigid investigation into the expense
and efficiency of this organised force, in order to
decide whether it shall be kept up in its present
form, or re-modelled, or at once and finally dis-
banded. The higher interests of the country
demand this inquiry.—United Service Gazette.

THE LAUNCH OE THE STEAM-PACKET FREDERICK
WILLIAM.—This steam-packet, destined for the mail
ervice between Dover, Calais, and Ostend, was launched
at Black wall yesterday. Tae following are her principal
dimensions :--length, 165 feet ; breadth, 20 feet ; depth
11 feet 3 inches ; tonnage, 325 k. She is to receive en:
glues of 120 horse-power (nominal), by Ravenhill, Sal-

the Lord Chancellor's private room at the House of
Lords, the oaths being administered by the Queen's
Remembrancer.
SHOCKING DEATH.—A, young lad of 18 years of age,
named James M'Geeohen, a tal-keeper on the Great
Western road, Botanic Gardens, Glasgow, was drowned
on Sunday evening under the following melancholy
circumstances in the old quarry in the vicinity :—Hav-
ing sprung from the bank into the water in the quarry
hole, he swam about for a few mina es, when, grow-
ing tired with the exertion, he dropped his feet and
stood upright. The bottom of the quarry being com-
posed of thick soft mud, his feet stuck firmly in it,
and his struggles to extricate himself only caused him
to sink deeper. At first the water reached only so high
as his breast, but gradually he sunk until it reached his
lips, and at length covered him. Life, of course, was
over as soon as the water ascended above his nostrils, and
all assistance was then vain. A passer-by, however,
attracted partly by the cries of the unfortunate
young man, and those of a woman who had arrived at
the quarry just as he was on the pointof sinkingbeneath
the water, stripped of his clothes and plunged in to
rescue him. After conciderable difficulty and no small
danger he got the body on the bank, and every aid that
could be had was rendered to restore the young lad
to consciousness, but, of course without avail.—Mcsn-
chester Guardian.
FIGHT BETWEEN J. BROOKES AND D. ?dolmas, FOR
100/.—ln accordance with "articiee of war," these
men met on Tuesday. The combatants were confined
to Bst 81b. After a pleasant aquatic trip, the ring was
formed on the Kentish Marshes. Morris was waited
on by Bill Hayes and Bob Travers, while Jemmy Welsh
and Alf Walker did the requisite for Brookes. From
the commencement of hostilities Brookes took a decided
lead, getting on to his opponent in a rapid style,
although for some 30 or 40 rounds the contest was
well fought on the part of Morris. After the contest
had lasted about an hour, Morris began the dropping
system. Brookes, in this instance, proved himself to
be anything but a finishing fighter, for had he been so
he must, despite the shifty tactics of his opponent, have
won the battle. In the whole, 104 rounds (if we may
so call many of them) were fought, when a suspension
of hostilities became necessary, as the police made their
unwelcome appearance, and put a stop to the contest.
Brookes and his friends were greatly chagrined at this
interruption, as victory they considered had all but
been gained. Arrangements have been made for the
men to fight again on Saturday next.
COURT OF ALDERMEN.—At a court held yesterday Mr.
Alderman Wire presented the report of the Committee
of Privileges on the subject of the charges against Sir.
W. Magnay, Tip; Fepoit stated that the committee had
no power b
M-74gnay had submitted himself to the committee, and
judicially investigate the subject. Sir W.
solemnly assured it that beyond the usual official Cog.
nisance of the transactions he had no concern in the
matter, and that no portion of any of the shares was
ever, directly or indirectly, used or employed by him.
The report was ordered to be printed. A letter was
afterwards handed to the Lord Mayor, in which Sir W.
Magnay said during the existence of the Belgian judg-
ment he should resign his alderman's gown.
THE SUEZ CANAL.—The promoters of the Isthmus of
Suez Canal Company held a meeting yesterday at the
London Tavern, Sir J. Duke presiding, when the follow.
ing resolution was agreed to :—" That the proposed ship
canal across the Isthmus of Suez having been declared
practicable by competent engineers, and all nations be-
ing invited to join in the undertaking, which will not be
placed under the exclusive protection of any individual
Government, this meeting, being perfectly satisfied with
the explanations given by M. de Lessen considers its
mercial interests of Great Britain."

BOURSE, June 24.—The result of the elections
having been highly favourable to the government,
in the departments, speculators have shown a dis-
position to make new purchases of Rente and
shares, but the rise was checked by the uncertainty
which existed about the intentions of the Bank of
of France, many persons apprehending that no
modification' would be made in the rate of dis-
count. Threes had been done at 69f. and 69f. 5c.,
but receded to 681. 80c. ; Mobilier varied from
1,185 f. to 1,185 f. ; .Lyons, 1,515 f. to 1,505 f. ;
Orleans, 1,495 f. 50c. to 1,485 f. ; Northern; 990 f.
to 9851 ; Eastern old shares, 740 f. to 735 f. ; New
shares, 725f.•t0 7201.; Southern, 7751. to 772 f. 50c.;
and Austrian, 660 f. to 656 f. 25c.

A letter from Cettingue in the Deutschland of
Vienna, says :—" A conflict took place in Monte-
negro on the 27th May between the Kuciens, par-
tisans of Turkey (who to the number of 1,000 in-
vaded the Montenegrin territory) and 600 natives.
The latter had 4 killed and 8 wounded, while the
Kuciens had 3 killed and 28 wounded. The latter
offered battle to the Montenegrins again on the
morrow, but the latter declined to accept it and
hastened to acquaint the prince, who was at the
Cettingue, of what had occurred. The foreign
consuls advised the prince to pardon both parties,
and they offered to effect afterwards a reconciliation
between them. The prince accepted this proposal,
and it is hoped that hostilities will cease."

" The negotiations,P says a Vienna letter, "be-
tween the Porte and the great powers for the pur-
pose of abolishing the capitulations which accord
to the foreign embassies jurisdiction over the
natives of the country which they represent have
not as yet terminated favourably, the powers hav-
ing declared that they could not consent to the
proposed abolition until the Porte had introduced
into its states a civil code in conformity with Euro-
pean ideas, and should agree not to make any dif-
ference in the application of that code between its
Mussulman and non-Mussulman populations."

The Grand Duke Constantine returned to St.
Petersburg on the 15th from his excursion in
Western Europe. H. I.H. is to take the direction
of the Government during the absence of the Em-
peror, who was to leave St. Petersburg on the 23d
June. Prince Orloff and Count Bloadoff are
joined to the Prince in the Government, so as to
form with him a sort of Council of Regency.
