BANKING IN VICTORIA.

The annexed letter relates to the measure contem•
plated by the local Government of Victoria with regard
to the note circulation of that colony :

"Sir,—With reference to the paragraph in your money
article of this morning respecting the establishment of a
national bank of issue in Victoria, I may state for the in-
formation of your readers that most of the existing banks
hold charters from the Legislature of that colony which
expressly give them the power to issue notes for periods
extending frOm 14 to 21 years. The Bank of Neff South
Wales and the Bank of Victoria, in particular, may be
mentioned, and, as the proprietors of these institutions are
on the spot, they are not very likely to permit any measure
so immediately affecting their interests, to pass without a
strong opposition.
"But, as the old Ministry did not possess the confidence
of the country, the mail of the 23d of July, now expected,
will probably inform us that this measure has gone over-
board with its authors. _

"A nitional bank of issue was tried in New Zealand,
and h3s become a complete failure.—Your, obedient
servant,
" March 12."

CONTINENTAL PASSENGER TRAFFIC.

The following particulars of the passenger traffic be-
tween England and the Continent, during the past year,
as compared with 1855, have been gathered from state-
ments just furnished from the various ports :-
1856. 1857.
Boulogne.. 99,034 ...... 136,331
Calais 84,653 ...... 80,393
Dieppe
Havre
Dunkirk
()Amid
Antwerp

Total
274,083 ...... 313,580
The falling off observable in the French traffic is en-
tirely attributable to the exceptional development
it
attained in 1855 in consequence of the Paris Exhibition.
The augmentation at Calais and the Belgian ports seems
to indicate an increasing traffic with Belgium, Germa
and the North of Europe—partly attributable, perhaps, to the re-opening of relations with Rnssia.

THAMES.

DARING RC/EBERT AND OUTRAGE IN HIGH-STREET,
WHITECHATEL—Richard Irvine, who described himself
as coming from 19, Dunstan-street, Kingsland-road, was
brought before Mr. Yardley on the following charge:—
Charles Baker, a City police-constable, No. 635, said
a large crowd had collected this morning in High-street,
Whitechapel, at 11 o'clock, to see General Tom Thumb
and his carriage and horses passing along the street. A
sailor was among the crowd, and the prisoner and four
others pushed him, shoved him against the shutters of a
shop that was closed, and one of them began to unscrew
the watoh from the chain, and obtained possession
of it. He immediately seized the prisoner, and
tried to secure the fellow who had the watch
which he let fall on the ground. The prisoner
immediately tripped him up and flung him on the ground,
and the man who stole the watch made his escape. He
kept his hold of the prisoner, who flung him on the
ground again and ran away. He pursued the prisoner
and overtook him close to Aldgate pump, when the pri-
soner put his foot out and flung him on the ground a
third time. A cry was raised by the prisoner'scompan-
ions, "slog him, slog him" (meaning to beat him and
disable him), rand he was kicked and struck several

times by the prisoner's companions, who were all no•
torious thieves. He got away from them, and again
pursued the prisoner, who was stopped in Fenchurch-
street.

In answer to questions by Mr. Yardley, the witness
stated that he did not say be was a constable when he
first seized the prisoner, but he did say that he was a
constable when he seized the prisoner at Aldgate Pump.
The pickpockets and thieves were very active when
Tom Thumb's carriage was passing. He was sure the
prisoner was one of the men who " bustled" the sailor
and forced him against the shutters.
Robert Cane, of No. a, Westmoreland-road, confirmed
the evidence of Baker in every particular.
Mr. Yardley—Did the sailor recover his watch
Baker—He did, sir.
Mr. Yardley remanded the prisoner until Friday.

DRURTLANE.

There was an overflowing audience at this theatre last
night owing to the double attraction of the second ap•
pearance of Mr, Charles Mathews since his late accident
and the pantomime, which continues to run its race
triumphantly. Mr. Mathews appeared only ir4the clever
and amusing interlude, " Somebody Else," in which he
sustained his original character of Hans Montz. No-
thing could exceed the warmth of the welcome which
this favourite of the public received from pit, boxes, and
galleries. The audience seemed as glad to see him again
as if he had been for rhonths away from them. They
gave him round after round of applause, and seemed to
stop at last from sheer fatigue of clapping ; and there
was a repetition of similar demonstrations of good will
at the conclusion of the piece.

held at Leeds on Monday, on the body of Ann Eliza
Durham, aged twenty-six. The surgeon who made a

exceedingly small, the lungs much congested, the heart
much larger than natural, and the cavities full of blood.
He considered death to have arisen f.om smallness of
the chest, caused probably by tight lacing, disease of
the valves of the heart, and depression of spirits. The
verdict returned was, "Died from disease of the heart."

A MADMAN IN THE VATIOAN._ROME, Jan. 15.—
While sanguinary tragedies have saddened the inhabi-
tants of Paris and Naples, eccentricities of a less homi-
cidal character have amused the inhabitants of Rome,
and especially the nocturnal pranks of a madman who
recently gained access to the Vatican Palace, notwith-
standing the scrutinising glances of the Swiss halber-
diers stationed in the grand corridor leading to the
scan regia. It appears that this unfortunately Aber-
rated individual succeeded in secreting himself in the
precincts of the palace until the night was far advanced,
when he suddenly aroused and alarmed the inhabi-
tants of the apostolic residence by vociferating in
stentorian tones that the Pope was dead, following up
this startling piece of intelligence by another vague
assertion, that he himself was about to succeed his
Holiness on the Pontifical throne, and that, as first fruit
of his authority, he should order the Cardinal Secretary
of State to be shot. It may be easily imagined with
what consternation these overwhelming announcements
,A ere received, until the ill-omened individual was laid
hands upon, and the state of his intellect discovered.
The great gates of the Vatican have been closed at
nightfall since this untoward occurrence.

STATE 07 TRADE.

MANCIIESTER, JAN. 20.
There is little or no change in the market. For 40-inch
shiitings, suitable to the markets of India and China,
the demand is very limited, and prices, though noini-
»ally quoted as before, are in favour of the buyer. For
prieting cloths there is still a moderate demand, at full
prices, and some wakes of longcloths and T-cloths are
ie request at last quotations. The sales, however, on the
whole have been inconsiderable, and bad there bee❑ any
accumulation of stocks worth naming prices would have
given way more decidedly in India goods.
The reports of the yarn-market are also unfavourable.
For water twist few offers were made so as to test prices,
and, though there was a fair inquiry for some kinds of
mule twist, it did not lead to much business. For the
latter kinds of yarn spinners were showing more firm-
r ess than last week, but some irregularity has been
observable, and sellers pressing on the market i❑ some
fe v cases have been willing to accept less money.
The circu'ar of Messrs. John Slagg and Co. says :--
" There is no new feature in the market to-day. Long-
cloths, T-cloths, and printers continue in moderate de-
mind, add pnces are firmly maintainel, but for nearly
all other kinds, and especially for India and China goods,
there is lit le or no demand, and, though there are not
yet any accumulations of stock, prices are becoming very
irregular. The offers made, however, are not of fulfil.
cielit magnitude fairly to test the market, and we re-
taupe our quotations of Tuesday last."

NOTTINGHAM, JAN. 20.

Although tbere is not as yet much doing in the lace
trade (the busy seaon not having set in), manufacturers
are anticipating an excellent spring bx iness. There are
not so many black goods making just now. The home
demand is dull, but there are some orders completing for
both the United States and the continent.

In hosiery there is a good demand, and, the stocks on
hand being light, this department of our staple trade is
very buoyant.

LEICESTER, JAN. 20.

The hosiery trade is by no means active. The season
has not, however, yet set in. Manufacturers have for a
long time past bee❑ unable to obtain properly remunera-
tive prices for their goods, the rates of both wools and
yarns being exceedingly high. Stocks are being reduced,
manufacturers judging it prudent not to increase them,
in consequent: of the dearness of material.
LEEDS, JAN. 20.
There has been a steady demand for woollen cloths
and mixed fabrics this morning, and a good bulk has been
sold, considering the quantity brought to market. Goods
to order are passing freely between manufacturers and
merchants, and the trade F resents the same satisfactory
aspect we have for some time had to report.
The Huddersfield market has been brisk to-•lay, there
being a good attendance of buyers, who purchased freely
of piece-dyed blacks, as well as of fancies and low goodie.
Wools continue to present an upward tendency in price.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE BUN.

Sir,—The report contained m your paper of this day
of the evidence given in the Court of Bankruptcy by
Mr. Joseph Marsh, a shareholder, after stating that he
deposed that Mr. Cameron had told him that he could
not select a better investment than the shares of this
bank, proceeds thus :—'• Having dwelt particularly on
the soundness of the institutioL, Mr. Paddison quoted
the 71st article of the charter, to show that he could not
lose more than one-fourth of the money invested." I
utterly deny the truth of this representation, or that I
ever had Any interview with Mr. Marsh. Whatever
may have been said to him by any one at the bank, he
has certainly mistaken some one else for me. I have
observed throughout these proceedings that shareholders
and others are constantly confounding the names of the
officers of the establishment, especially where there were
two or more in one department.—l am, sir, &c.,

SURREY THEATRE.

A new melo-drama, entitled "A Bird in the Hand is
worth Two in the Bush," was produced here with the
most complete success on Monday evening. The plot
is of the simplest. Mr. Praiseworthy (Mr. Shepherd),
an elderly gentleman, dwelling on a fine estate in York.
shire, has brought up two nephews, Reginald (Mr. Basil
Potter) and Theodore Prodigal (Mr. Calvert). The latter
of these two youths has offended his uncle by losing a
large sum of money in a suspicious manner, and clinch-
ing the misfortune with a mesalliance„ He is accordingly
cast off, and is living with his ;,-oung wife in the humble
capacity of a field labourer. Reginald, on the other
hand, is making a brilliant figure in the metropolis, where
he has married a lady of supposed high extraction. The
worthy uncle, who is now residing alone, makes a will,
in gwhich he leaves all his property to the more
showy brother, and probably this document would in
due time have been carried into effect, had not an old
friend, Major Stormont (Mr. Vollaire), conversed with
Mr4Praisewerthy on the characters of the two nephews,
and hinted his conviction that Reginald is a heartless
scoundrel and Theodore a very ill-used person. To test
the truth in this important matter Mr. Praiseworthy
gives out that he is dead, and his kinsmen come to the

wronged brother, who has really committed no fault at
all, and who would not even have incurred suspicion had
not his letters to his uncle been intercepted by the de-
signing Reginald. The part of Mr. Praiseworthy is

herd. Insolent vice and humble virtue are brought into

WATCH ROBBERY BY A CARD SHARPER.—CharIes
Jarvis, a middle-aged man, well known to the police as
a skittle and card sharper, was brought before Mr.
Cornbe for final examination, charged with stealing a
watch from the person of William Simpson.
The prosecutor, a simple-looking sailor, said that he
resided at Southchurch, in Essex, and on Tuesday after-
noon, the 13th instant, he was with a mate of his in a
public-house near St. George's Church partaking of
some refreshment, when the prisoner came in and offered
to sell a chain and key for three.shillings and sixpence.
Finding he could not sell them, he said he would
raffle them. The prisoner then pulled out some
cards, and laid them on the table. A. man in
the company, as well as his rnate, made bets with the
prisoner as to turning up the ace of spades. They lost
about two shillings each. Witness looked carefully at
the cards, and was of opinion that he could turn up the
card. The prisoner offered to bet witness two sovereigns
against his watch. Witness accepted the bet, and was
about to turn up the real card, when the prisoner
snatched the watch from him, saying that he had lost,
and he then left the house. Witness followed him, but
soon lost sight of him, and he saw nothing more of him
until Friday afternoon, when he met him in the Borough
and gave him into custody.
Mr. Combe fully committed the prisoner for trial at
the next beseions.

MR. HUMPHREY BROWN'S PETITION TO ANNUL.

To-day was appointed for hearing arguments on the
petition of Mr. Humphrey Brown, M.P., to annul the
adjudication in bankruptcy against the Royal British
Bank.

After some time, Mr. Linklater said that, under the
sanction of the court, the accounts between the bank
and Mr. Brown, which were voluminous, would be re•
ferred to arbitration, which would enable him to do
what he had promised to do, to realise the securitieQ,
and otherwise give valuable information. The assignees,
therefore, were happy in consenting that the petition
should be withdrawn, without costs. The learned
gentleman drew the attention of his Honour to
the fact that one of the allegations in the
petition was that the adjudication bad been ob
tained by fraud. He was glad to say that, on
his (Mr. Linklater's) addressing himself to Messrs.
Tucker, the solicitor to the petitioner, they at once dis-
avowed any intention to impute fraud, but attributed its
insertion to the baste in which it had been drawn by
counsel. The assignees therefore considered the charge
bad been withdrawn without reserve.

Mr. Greville, for Mr. Brown, expressed regret that
such an allegation had been made, and expressed a belief
that the present arrangement would be beneficial to all
parties.

His Honour consented to the proposition for the dis-
missal of the petition, and considered the assignees had
acted liberally in- consenting after such a charge.
The petition was dismissed without costs.

SURREY THEATRE.

A new melo-drama, entitled " A Bird in the Hand is
worth Two in the Bush," was produced here with the
most complete success on Monday evening. The plot
is of the simplest. Mr. Praiseworthy (Mr. Shepherd),
an elderly gentleman, dwelling on a fine estate in York-
shire, has brought up two nephews, Reginald (Mr. Basil
Potter) and Theodore Prodigal (Ur. Calvert). The latter
of these two youth's has offended his uncle by losing a
large sum of money in a suspicious manner, and clinch-
ing the misfortune with a mesalliance. He is accordingly
cast off, and is living with his young wife in the humble
capacity of a field labourer. Reginald, on the other
hand, is making a brilliant figure in the metropolis, where
he has married a lady of supposed high extraction. The
worthy uncle, who is now residing alone, makes a will,
in which he 'leaves all his property to the more
showy brother, and probably this document would in
due time have been carried into effect, had not an old
friend, Major Stormont (Mr. Voltaire), conversed with
Mr.jPraiseworthy on the characters of the two nephews,
and hinted his conviction that Reginald is a heartless
scoundrel and Theodore a very ill-used person. To test
the truth in this important matter Mr. Praiseworthy
gives out that he is dead, and his kinsmen come to the
family mansion to hear ahe reading of the will. The
will is read by Major Stormont ; Reginald is allowed to
enjoy a temporary belief that he is sole devisee, when
his hopes are crushed by the appearance of the testator,
who tears up the unrighteous testament, ejects Reginald
and wife from the premises, and takes to his arms the
wronged brother, who has really committed no fault at
all, and who would not even have incurred suspicion had
not his letters to his uncle been intercepted by the de-
signing Reginald. The part of Mr. Praiseworthy is
played with a great deal of quiet purpose by Mr. Shep-
herd. Insolent vice and humble virtue are brought into
effective contrast by Mr. Basil Potter and Miss Eliza
Clayton o❑ the one side, and Mr. Calvert and Miss
Adelaide Biddies on the other. The crafty lawyer of
Mr. 11. Widdicombe is an admirable bit of strong colour-
ing. The rest of the characters wore ably supported.

THE SAWARD FORGERY GANG.

This morning Saward, alias " the Barrister," alias
'Jim the Penman," and Anderson, the two men charged
with extensive forgeries on the bankers of the metro-
polis., were again placed at the bar at the Mansion-house
before the Lord Mayor, for further examination.
The evidence, which was principally of a corrobora-
tive character with regard to the statements of the
two approvers, Atwell and Hardwicke, was proceeding
wh n we went to press.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A. DISORDERLY PAIIPER.—Ann White, a low, dissi-
pated looking woman, was brought before Mr. Beadon,
charged with violently aQsaulting Ann Harrison, a❑
inmate of St. Martin's Workhouse.

The complainant, a poor, but decent-looking old
woman, stated that yesterday she bad a day's leave
granted her by the master of the house, and on her re-
turn home, about seven o'clock, the prisoner, of whom
she had no previous knowledge, deliberately picked up a
large stone, which she threw at her head and struck her
with great force on her left temple. Complainant, who
was in great pain, called out, and the porter came out
and gave the prisoner into custody.

Charles Rowe, assistant relieving officer of St. Mar-

tin's parish, said he was at the workhouse on the previ-
ous evening, when he saw the prisoner take aim at the
complainant's head with a stone, and then fling it at
her. The stone struck her on the head, which was very
much swoollen in consequence. He at once seized the
prisoner and gave her into custody. Rowe added that
the prisoner existed entirely by going from workhouse
to workhouse, and her conduct was so very bad that he
almost dreaded a visit from her. Last night she applie
for admittance as a casual pauper, but as he invariably
made it a practice of taking in all the aged and feeble
poor before he admitted a single able-bodied pauper, he
desired the prisoner to wait a short time, when, if there
was room, she would be admitted. The prisoner refused
to wait, and her language was dreadful to hear ; in fact
she was one of the worst casual paupers i❑ London.
The prisoner, with an oath, said she threw the
stone, but meant it for Rowe's-- head ; he was a
villain and a scoundrel, and ought to have admitted her
into the house. They were all -- thieves together,
and she wished them at --. She was proceeding in a
similar strain when Mr. Beadon cut her short by fining
her 51., and in default committed her for two months.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 15th contain no-
thing of political interest. The Gazette contains a
royal decree which enacts that governors and
functionaries of provinces shall be formed into a
corps called " Civil Provincial Administration ;"
that the salary of the Governor of Madrid shall
be 60,000 reals a-year ; and that of the governors
of other provinces, 40,000. The Gazette announces
that two other bishops, those of Tarragona and
Urgel, have sent addresses to the Queen thanking
her Majesty for what she has done for the Church.

DARING ROBBERY AND OUTRAGE IN ITIGII•STREET,
WHITECIIAPEL.—Richard Irvine, who described himself
as coming from 19, Dunstan-street, Kingsland-road, was
brought before Mr. Yardley on the following charge :

Charles Baker, a City police-constable, No. 635, said
a large crowd bad collected this morning in High-street,
Whitechapel, at 11 o'clock, to see General Tom Thumb
and his carriage and horses passing along the street. A
sailor was among the crowd, and the prisoner and four
others pushed him, shoved him against the shutters of a
shop that was closed, and one of them began to unscrew
the watch from the chain, and obtained possession
of it. He immediately seized the prisoner, and
tried to secure the fellow who bad the watch
which he let fall on the ground. The prisoner
immediately tripped him up and flung him on the ground,
and the man who stole the watch made his escape. He
kept his hold of the prisoner, who flung him on the
ground again and ran away. He pursued the prisoner
and overtook him close to Aldgate pump, when the pri•
saner put his foot out and flung him on the ground a
third time. A cry was raised by the prisoner's compan
ions, "slog him, slog him" (meaning to beat him and
disable him), 'and he was kicked and struck several
times by the prisoner's companions, who were all no-
torious thieves. He got away from them, and again
pursued the prisoner, who was stopped in Fenchurch-
etreet.
In answer to questions by Mr. Yardley, the witness
stated that he did not say he was a constable when he
first seized the prisoner, but he did say that he was a
constable when he seized the prisoner at Aidgate Pump.
Toe pickpockets and thieves were very active when
Tom Thumb's carriage was passing. He was sure the
prisoner wan one of the men who " bustled" the sailor
and forced him against the shutters.
Robert Cane, of No. 6, Westmoreland-road, confirmed
the evidence of Baker in every particular.
Mr. Yardley—Did the sailor recover his watch
Baker—He did, sir.
Mr. Yardley remanded the prisoner until Friday.

A moderate attendance of buyers, who acted with great
caution, and restricted their purchases as much as possible.
Fine wheat 2d per 701bs lower, and middling in some case■
3,1 to 4d less money. Flour 6d per barrel and sack lower.
Oats and oatmeal met an extremely slow sale, at a decline

neglected. Indian corn more inquired for, and all good

very slow, and all sorts is to is down in price. Foreign
very dull. Barley very firm, and not much offering. No
