THE BANKERS' MAGAZINE.

From the paper entitled the " Claims of Bankers'
clerks" we give the following extract, thinking that
the particulars ought to be known in order that the
public may have a proper knowledge of what are the
serious responsibilities of a large and deserving class
of men. From the duties of a position ought to be
calculated the remuneration to which they entitle
the person holding it, and some recent events have
plainly proved that a liberal policy towards those who
have so much trust reposed in them, would be the
best one that could be followed

" The duties and responsibility of a banker's clerk are
very imperfoctly understood by the public ; and though
our readers generally will not require to have the parti-
culars of the occupation minutely specified, yet we may
usefully remind them of some of the peculiar burdens'
that are necessarily borne by bankers' clerks. Of these,
of course, the chief is their personal responsibility for
any loss that may be occasioned by their neglect or error,
or by the fraud of a forger or a swindler, who can impose
upon them. A person brings a cheque to the teller in a
bank, and demands cash for it. The signature appears
to be that of a highly respectable customer of the house,
and the teller accordingly pays the amount. On in-
quiry it turns out that the signature is a forgery, and the
public supposes that the Bank ,must bear the loss. But
this is a mistake. The unfortunate clerk who has paid
the cheque must provide the amount, oardif hebo o
does not
to
not do
so, his securities will be called upon, and
pay it. In the same way, if, through a mistake of a book-
keeper or accountant, a wrong sum is placed to the
credit of a party, and the bank sustains ultimately a loss,
this falls on the bookkeeper or accountant, and he must
pay for his mistake. The position of a banker's clerk is,
therefore, very different from that of a merchant's or a
solicitor's clerk ; and it places

. .
." Such services being required from the officers in
a bank—and all are more or less exposed to loss from
negligence or error—the scale of remuneration ought to
be proportioned to the kind of services required. It is
obviously unfair to determine the salary of a man who
is every day exposed to the risk of heavy losses, by the
same standard which determines the salary of an artisan
or a mechanical workman in any department of trade.
Nor is it just that a person in the high situation of a
banker should refuse to give his clerk a salary propor-
tioned to his services, and the appearance in society he is
required to maintain, because, from the great number of
clerks seeking employment, the same services can be ob-
tained at a reduced and improper scale of remuneration.
A banker who acts on this principle does not act pru-
dently; for he should bear in mind that his clerk is a

BRITISH MAGAZINE.

This Number contains a spirited article on " Modern
Hagiology, or the Lives of the Saints," and exposes
the ambition of the extreme Oxford party in very just
terms. The followers of Mr. Newman, or, as our
friend Sidney Smith would call them, the New-
Maniacs, seem determined, by the publication of the
Lives of the Saints, such as St. Walstan, St. Ger-
man, and St. Hellier, to achieve their own destruc-
tion as a party—" Quod Deus vult perdere, priu.sguam
dementat. Take the following out of many instances,
equally ridiculous :—" St. Walstan was not above
confessing that a savoury roast goose, which was pre-
paring for his dinner, had once so taken up his
thoughts that he could not attend to the service he
was performing, and that he had punished himself for
it, and given up the use of meat in consequence."
We can scarcely recommend any one to incur the
trouble or expense of reading the original work,
though most enticingly got up as to its exterior; yet
if any one is anxious to know the error and follies
which naturally flow from the Newman system, the
able summary in the British Magazine will repay
perusal.

THE ILLUMINATED MAGAZINE.

The paper, type, and embellishments of this Ma-
gazine are admirable, and place it in a prominent
rank among periodicals. Several stories advance a
stage in this Number; and if they do not in any in-
stance rise above a respectable mediocrity, it is fair to
say that they do not sink greatly below t.

FISHER'S COLONIAL MAGAZINE.
The sketches of Henry Clay, the unsuccessful can-
didate in the contest for the American Presidency, is

that on " Trinidad in the Nineteenth Century."

JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF

ENGLAND. Part 11. Vol. V.
This is a publication of a goodly bulk, and tha,
bulk is well filled; this part contains no less than
thirty-three articles, twenty-two miscellaneous com-
munications, and an appendix. They have all one
object in.:view—the improvement of the practice of
agriculture ; and many are the suggestions offered for
the purpose of making land fertile, or keeping it so.
We wish Mr. Pusey and the Society success in all
they undertake by their own energy, skill, and
capital. We trust that the agriculturists are begin-
ning to see how little Acts of Parliament and sliding
scales can do for them, and how much they may do
for themselves. •

This well-known monthly presents two well-
executed engravings of a Durham heifer, the pro-
perty of 11. Brown, Esq., of Ashby de-la-Zouch,
which won the first prize at the last Smithfield Cattle
Show; and of Foigh•a-Ballagh, the winner of the
last St. Leger. The letter-press is exclusively devoted
to what is useful and practical.

THE LAW REVIEW, 6.e.
This is an excellent Number. The first article is
an elaborate review of Twiss's " Life of Lord Eldon,"
worthy of the Edinburgh in its best days. It is
almost impossible to mistake the authorship of this,
par excellence, the article of the month. It is evi-
dently from the pen of one whose contributions to
the early numbers of the Edinburgh, produced
a revolution in periodical literature, and raised the
review to the height which it has ever since main-
tained. It is full of materials for history—not only
for the history of the times of Lord Eldon, but for
the history of the times which immediately followed.
In allusion to Lord Eldon's oft-repeated assertion
that he was the King's Chancellor, which he seems to
have considered as a sufficient apology for intriguing
against Mr. Addington, the Miniisuteter;eus

rHE STRIKE OF THE PITMEN

IN THE STAFFORDSHIRE POTTERIES.

JUDGES' CHAMBERS, SERGEANTS' INN, FEB. 3.

(Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.)

DISCHARGE OF FOUR OF THE PRISONERS UPON A WRIT OF

lIABEAS CORP CS.

Yesterday the application which was made to dis-
charge John Williams, John Poynter, John Harding,
and William Sillitoe, alias Salmon, four of the men who
had been brought up in custody from Stafford Gaol, upon
a writ of habeas corpus, on Saturday last, to be dis-
charged out of custody, on the ground of an informality
in the warrant of commitment, and which was partly
heard on Saturday before Mr. Justice Coleridge, the
further consideration of which was adjourned, was again
resumed before Mr. Justice VV4;htraan.

Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Huddlestone appeared for the
prisoners.
The prisoners, previous to the strike, had been em-
ployed by the prosecutor, Joseph Mitcheson, a person
who is called in the county of Stafford, a " buckey,"
that is, a sort of middle man between the workmen and
the proprietors of pits, who undertake to work certain
portions of land and produce certain quantities of coal
at a given
.price. It follows, then, that the object of
these men is to obtain labour at the smallest possible
rate ; and we are assured that it is to this pernicious
system that the discontent that has lately prevailed
amongst the pitmen is to be attributed. In the present
case, the prisoners had been engaged by the prosecutor
Mitcheson, to work at the Millfield• gate pit, belonging
to Mr. Sparrow, at Langton, and in consequence of the
strike the four prisoners were charged before
Harvey, Esq., a magistrate for this county, by their em-
ployer Mitcheson, f)r absenting themselves from work,
and were sentenced to two months' imprisonment, with
hard labour in Stafford gaol.
Mr. Bodkin, in addition to the objections urged by
him on Saturday before Mr. Justice Coleridge to the
legality of the warrant of commitment, contended that
the return to the writ of habeas corpus, which set forth
the warrant, was bad, inasmuch as that it did not appear
upon the face of the return and the warrant that the pri-
soners were present at the time the oath was adminis-
tered to the :prosecutor, which he contended ought to
have been set forth.

Mr. Justice Wizhttnan, without &ling upon the
Learned Counsel to go into the other points, held the ob-
jection to be good and fatal to the conviction, and made
an order for the primers' discharge out 91 cu 4,94.

LONDON, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY

We have always been sceptical as to the amount of
public benefit likely to result from the constitution of
the Board for the transaction of railway business—
created under Minute of the Lords of the Committee
of Privy Council for Trade, in August last. The
grounds assigned for this innovation on the practice
of former years are, in themselves, not merely
specious, but very sound ones. It had long been felt
that it was necessary to economise the time of Parlia-
ment, to the extent of relieving it from the unprofit-
able but indispensable preliminary discussions de-
manded by the terminal points, selected lines of pro-
jection, proposed levels, gradients, &c., and by the
probable expenses of the cuttings, embankments, con-

pONSUMPrION—its CURAIXLITY estab-
N._.i lished by reference to numerous cases ; being a Letter ad-
dressed to the Senior Consulting Physician to the Hospital for Con-
sumption. By Dr. CRONI.N, Physician to the Strand Dispensary
for Consumption.

CONSUMPTION.--7TRACTICAL INCONSISTENCY.—The "Senior Con-
sulting Physician" to the Hospital fOr Consumption, Dr. Forbes, 12,
Old Burlington-stree', asserts (and I have no doubt, as far as his
own experience and practical knowledge may warrant, truly), that
Consumption (the disease for the cure of which this institution is
established), is incurs ;le, and that all who differ with him in opinion
are " blockheads." I ask you, Dr. Forbes, how you will account to
her Most Gracious Majesty, and to her august Consort, his Royal
Highness Prince Albert, for obtaining their patronage for an institu-
tion—for what ? for the cure of a- disease which you, the chief phy-
sician, pronounce absolutely incurable ; nay, more, you, the highest
authority—front whose opinion there is no appeal—maintain, not
only the absolute incurability of a disease (to be cured in this
hospital), while denouncing the curability as the offspring of the
grossest filly : in a word, the raving follies of a " blockhead." How
will you reconcile the Governors and subscribers in general to the
wanton expenditure of their. money ! What will the poor, who are
compelled to apply to this hospital for advice, think ?—what will your
colleagues think ? Will they consult you in extremities—in cases of
doubt and difficulty ? I should think not. For who now thinks of
consulting the consulting physician, if, like you, he maintains the in-
curability of the disease for the cure of which he is to be consulted ?
Oh, most preposterous absurdity ! Consult Dr. Forbes on a case of
consumption, and then—What must the Medical Committee think of
you, still holding the office of " Senior Consorting Physician," while
you dogmatically announce there can be no subject for deliberation—
no matter for consultation ? I beg pardon, it may be the perquisite
of the " Senior Consulting Physician" to consult as to the nomination
of the undertaken—Front Dr. Cronin's " Letter on the Curability of
Consumption."

THE WEEKLY CHRONICLE, during the
ENSUING SESSION of PARLIAMENT, will spare neither
exertion nor expense to sustain and extend the character it has
hitherto obtained of furnishing to its readers, and with the greatest
minuteness of detail, the EARLIEST and MOST EXCLUSIVE
INTELLIGENCE of POLITICAL and PUBLIC MOVEMENTS,
from its own PECULIAR SOURCES of INFORMATION.
The many interesting questions which must shortly occupy the
attention of Parliament—as Free Trade, Ireland, the Church, Taxa-
tion, Tariff Reform, with many others, give great interest, by antici-
pation, to the doings of the coming Session ; and the importance of
a Journal which has proved, not only its intimate acquaintance with
the policy of its own friends but with the intentions of the Govern-
ment, whose movements it has repeatedly announced in anticipation
of the official organs, must be self-evident to all.
In other respects, while the " Weekly Chronicle" is of larger size
than any one of its Contemporaries, it will be found to be the best
Family Newspaper extant, as it contains more carefully selected
reading, as well in General Literature, Fashion, Science, and the
• Drama. as in News, Politics, and Miscellaneous Intelligence, than
any other Weekly Journal.

on the second count of this information, had been con-
sented to by Mr. C. B. Robinson, on behalf of defendant.
At the same time, he wished it to be understood that
this consent was not the result of a compromise. The
Crown could claim the full penalties, and it was resolved
to enforce them.

count of this information.

The jury in the first case was sworn in the other two,
as their juries had not been summoned f)r to-day. We

OPINIONS OF TAE PRESS.

" We regard the work before us, the ' Silent Friend, as a . work
embracing most clear and practical views of a series of complaints
hitherto little understood, and passed over by a, majority of the me-
dical profession, for what reason we are at a ioss to know. We must
however confess that a perusal of this work hail left such a favourable
impression on our minds, that we not only recommend, but cordially
wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffering from
indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."—Age and
Argus.

" The authors of the Silent Friend' seem to be thoroughly con-
versant with the treatment of a class of complaints, which are. we
fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous styie in
which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to those
who arc apprehensive of entering- the marriage state, cannot fall to
recommend to it a careful perusal,"r-Tura.

POLYTECHNIC. RE VIEW.

The article on " Projectile Weapons of Vtrar and Ex-
plosive Compounds," has now extended to some length,
but has lost none of its value ; it displays a linowledr
of the subject treated of, and extensive reading on. it.
A large part of the present paper is given exclusively
to a description of those formidable missiles, Congreve
Rockets. The notice of Mr. Haydon's "Lectures on
Painting" is not particularly favourable to that artist;
it scarcely does justice to him and his zeal for the
improvement of English art. We remember reading
his volume with much pleasure. The contents of
this periodical this month are varied, and seem well
selected, but are too numerous to go over in detail.

AIASWORTH'S MAGAZINE.

The " Revelations of London," by the Editor,
which are continued in the present Number, increase
in interest as they proceed. •' The Doctor's Fee" is
a good story, well told. We cannot say as much for
the " Phantom Face." It is a dream of indigestion ;
the author should take an occasional seidlitz powder
and shower-bath, and, as Falstaff says, " lire cleanly."
Mr. Francis Ainsworth continues his narrative of the
Euphrates expedition, and Thomas Roscoe gives us
an admirable article on the Danish drama. The il-
lustrations of Phi" are very good.
