Mr. HOSKINS_ told him he had beeu guilty of
great violence, and he must find bail. He ought to
have gone for his shirt peaceably.
Mr. Toules was sorry he had struck the surgeon,
but he came suddenly upon him out of a closet
where gentlemen had often been concealed before;
and he was going to say more, but
Mr. HosKINS again told him he would bear no
scandal, and he was removed from the bar; and for
want of bail was committed to the New Prison.

BRANCH BANKS, &c.

We mentioned some time ago a report that
the Duke of Wellington was anxious for the
establishment of Chartered Banks in the coun-
try, and we have since heard that Government
have been in negociation with the Directors of
the Bank of England, for the purpose of induc-
ing them to forego so much of the privilege con-
ferred by the Charter as to enable Banks to be
formed of more than six partners within sixty-
five miles of London. We are not told whe-
ther the Government succeeded in the negoci-
ation, but we are inclined to think they did not,
as it is now rumoured, in a quarter likely to be
well informed, that the Bank of England have it
in contemplation to greatly increase the number
of Branch Banks. We give these things as we
have heard them, without in any way pledging
ourselves as to their accuracy. One thing, how-
ever, we have not hesitated in ascertaining—
namely that the Ministers are fully aware of the
difficulties that have been brought upon the
country by the curtailment of the currency, and
that they are anxiously looking out for a remedy
which will not involve them in the disagreeable
predicament of returning to one-pound notes.—
That they must do something to relieve the dis-
t) asses of the country, or, at any rate, have
something to propose, we feel satisfied, or they
will cut a sorry figure at the meeting of Parlia-
ment. Ruin, absolute ruin, appears to be fast
coming upon the farmers, and when it reaches
them it will not be far distant from the land-
lords. The great landed proprietors must see
and feel their situation, and, as they are in reality
the rulers of the rulers of the nation, there can
be no doubt that they will force the Ministry
into same measures for their relief. For our
part we see no cause to despair. The resources
of the country, though—to use a familiar phrase
—in a mess, are still in the main unimpaired.—
England contains more riches than any country
on the face of the earth ; and nothing but the
exercise of common sense is wanted to bring

those riches into healthful action. We cannot
imagine that this can be withheld much longer.
The Government must see the necessity of re-
turning to the old system, and we are convinced
that nothing but a silly pride has hitherto pre-
vented them from so doing. As we have ob-
served above, ruin is now coming upon the
landlords, and, as they possess the power of
averting it, it cannot be doubted, unless we sup-
pose them mad, that they possess the will also.
The deductions that are making in every part of
the country with respect to rent and tithes speak
volumes as to the state of agriculture ; while the
increase of poor-rates in the large manufacturing
towns are equally eloquent, notwithstanding the
boasts of the newspapers relative to the improve-
ment of business, as to the state of trade. We
noticed yesterday the extraordinary circumstance
of the same newspaper, in the same column,
strenuously contending that trade had improved
in Leeds, and announcing that the poor-rates
had increased since the last year sixpence in the
pound. We have also heard and read a great
deal lately about the improved state of things in
Halifax ; what truth there is in these assertions
may be inferred from the following remarks :
‘, For some weeks past," says the Halifax
Chronicle, " the Manchester and other neigh-
bouring papers have put forth statements as to
the improving' and brisk' markets for manu-
factured goods in this town, particularly at the
Piece-hall. On this subject we have thought it
prudent to remain silent; but the announce-
ments alluded to have, latterly, assumed so
confident' a shape, that we are compelled to
break the spell. Having access to the best and
most accurate sources of information, as regards
the trade of our own district, we have not,
hitherto, joined in the prosperity' cry of our
brother journalists, because we could not con-
scientiously do so. It is the bounden duty of
the conductors of the press not to exaggerate on
either side. There is no question but that the
approach of winter has, in some branches, caused
a temporary demand for goods, but not to the
extent described. We have no wish to dilate
upon this subject ; but those with whom we
have conversed concur in three things-Ist, that
for the two last market days the sale of goods at
our Piece-hall has been very limited-2dly, that
there has been no improvement in price ; and
3dly, that, low as wages have been, they are
rather on the decline. One large house has,
within the last few days, reduced the prices for
a certain description of goods very considerably.
We regret this extremely, but it proves that
there is no real or permanent improvement in
trade."—Morning Herald.

On Friday week a human skeleton was found
under the hoarded floor of a back kitchen, belonging to a
house on the west side of Bond. street. It was about three
feet from the surface. The workmen gave no information
en the subject till the whole had been carted away. From
some circumstances, it is conjectured to have been the re-
mains of a body which had been obtained for anatomical
purposes.—Hull Packet.
The masons are beginning to be affected by,
the application of machinery for hewing stones. In Edin-
burg, hewing stone by machinery for large contracts is
becoming general ; and while the work is considered as
well finished as if executed with the band, one of these ma.•
chines execute in a day, in the ratio of ten times the
quantity that can be done by one man. It is. a consider-
able time since picking of stones. by machinery was tried in
England, but the hewing in this manner was never before
brought into 'successful operation. Many of the Edin-
burgh masons have been
i thrown idle, who would other-
wise leave been employed n hewing for the two new stu-
pendous bridges, and are coming to this .city in quest of
work ; but owing to the season not much is doing at pre-
sent, and mason's wages do not exceed I Is. and 12s. a
week. Plaisterers are only partially employed in town at
present ; Edinburgh competition in this branch has of late
tended to the cheapening of jobs:.... Glasgow Clorrniele.
