S,rsden.-A mutual treaty of commerce, had
been signed between Sweden and Great Britain.
The current rumour now is, that the Direc-
tors of the Bank Of England have under consi-
deraton the forming Branch Banks at the four
following places; viz. Liverpool, Leeds, Bir-
mingham, and Gloucester. In the three last,
as central points Of great manufacturing dis
tricts, and in Liverpool, as the second CONNER
cial town in the kingdom, the experiment,
whether of utility to the country, or advantage
r the Bank, may, il is conceived, be fairly tri-
ed, and on the result Of that experiment, in all
probability, the extension Of the system will de-
pend.
An extraordinary scene took place at a
Meeting held for the support Of the London So
ciety for Promoting Education in Ireland. The
Rev Mr. Irving having addressed the Meeting
in furtherance Of the objects Of the Society, con-
cluded BY depositing his ,catch with the Presi-.
dent, haUng no money, until he had an opPortu'
nifty of redeeming it by giving sum to the
funds Of the Society.
Some further literary treasures are reported

undigested manuscripts in the State Paper Or
fee, in whi:h Queen Elizabeth, and the fame Of
Spencer the poet and Shakireare, are deeply
concerned.
AZ the last annual meeting Of the Merchant
Seamcn's Bible Society; held in London, the
Rev. MIR. Shedd, a professor from New Orleans,
in rising to propose vote Of thanks to the
Committee, Treasurer and Secretaries, said it
should be recollected that the present was only
the Eighth Annual Meeting, although it was
the Christian era Of 1926. lie considered sea-
men a class Of men who had the stron gest pos
sibe claims upon society, and were the mostne-

meeting chain between civilized nations and
b.rbarians? Seamen. Who discovered the new

Capt. Parry, R. n. then rose, amidst loud
paudits. He declared that he had had the hon
our Of commanding British seamen, all Of whom
he would wish to see instructed in the Holy
Scriptures. 1t had been asserted by the enc
mics Of morality and religion, that sailor so
educated would neglect his worldly duty This
he rose geographically deny, for in the moment
OF danger or in the hour Of difficulty he never
saw more GOODNESS, nor more courage than that
displayed by that part Of his crew who were
the most religious. Hs had had the misfortune

The gallant Captain concluded amidst great
cheering, by seconding the resolution, which
was carried unanimously.

Nor with hymns only does he cancel 3
