DIABOLICAL ACT

—On Wednesday night last, about 12

the contents of two guns
om windows of Mr. Pitt, of the Plough
don ; the report awoke the landlady, Mrs. Pitt,
lately did not succeed, for some time, in her en-
deavours to arouse her husband, or the consequences might
have proved fatal, for in a very short time the inhuman
wretches fired through the window of the bed-room in which
Mr. and Mrs. Pitt were sleeping, situate on the other side of
the house, and entirely demolished the window, strewing the
glass in all directions; but providentially the inmates did not
sustain any injury. The parties appear to have fired from a
rising ground in front of the window, and about 15 or 18
inches above the level of the bed. There is every reason to
suppose the first report was intended merely as a decoy, the
wretches naturally thinking if Mr. Pitt heard the report he
would immediately go to his bed-room window to ascertain
the cause. The only parties on whom suspicion falls are
certain poachers who infest the neighbourhood, and to whom
Mr. Pitt has made himself obnoxious by refusing to harbour
them in his house, and otherwise annoying them in their un-
lawful pursuits.—Worcester Journal.

Scorrtsu BANKING.—We have frequently noted, of late,
the too palpable symptoms of a desire, if not a determina-
tion, on the part of a considerable interest in England, to
interfere with the monetary concerns of this portion of the
empire. The statements and arguments of the parties in
England, to whom we allude, are remarkable for their ex-
treme ignorance and presumption. They not only know
nothing of the system which they assail, but they wholly
misconceive, and, of course, misrepresent, its true objects
and effects.. Two of the common objections these parties
urge will show this beyond all question. They assert that
the circulation in this country exceeds the capital of the
banks, and could not be met in specie: in short, has no re-
ference to the legal standard. The facts are, however, the
very reverse—the capital of the banks greatly exceeds the
issues, and they possess precisely the same facilities of paying
in gold as the Bank of England. The Scottish banks have
no advantage whatever in this respect. Then, %ve are told
that our banking establishments are no better than many of
the joint-stock banks in England have out : that they
are based upon mere speculations, and, in the event of a
crisis, could not meet their obligations. These assertions
argue the grossest ignorance, not only of the banks them-
selves, but of the Scottish character for caution and foresight.
We beseech our English contemporaries not to agitate this
subject without some inquiries—without some knowledge of
the system they wish to destroy. Meanwhile, we may
tell them, that any attempt, from whatever quarter,
t the ideas they entertain, must prove futile and
abortive.—Edinburgh Standard.
