were, than they have been since the introduction oi the Joint Stock system.
 Perhaps lhe superior working of the system in Scot land k 10 be attributed in part to the peeuln1lies of the Scotch character. Perhaps it is to be attfha- ted to it's gradual extension a that country as the wants of the country requ cd it, rather as the coun- try required strength bear il. IL s by degrees that Il has reached its present state of pereetion TOT many years disorders attended its operations. Some ol them were of a very serious character
 We have seen that even now, with all the aud which the experience of century has given in the mantge- ment of the system, backed by Scotch prudence, it's operation, produces tremendous commercial feFai- sions. How it would operate, if Bank and State were separated in Great Britain, Is another question: he true principles of commercial banking require tlat every bank note issued, should represent real bill ol exchange, or something eqmealent thereto, and that every bill nf exchange should represent merchandise which may be sold in time To enable the narcant to take up tine bill he as discounted al bank and thus enable the bank to redeem the note Il has isssed- The fundamental principle is departed from in Eng land and Scotland where bank notes are received m payment of public dues. The Bank ot England, as ;l government machine, deranges the operations o all the other banks. and would do even if they were | allowed to issue notes of less denomination than 100 dollars.
 In the United States, banking system founded on the principles of the Scotch system, would probably work well, provided
 1st TGat the concerns of both the State and Fed eral Government be separated from those of the banks.
 2nd. That no note be issued of il less denomination than fifty lollars.
 3rd. That bankrupt act be passed, which, in case any banker fails to fulfil his engagements shall immediately transfer his property to commissioners for the benefit of his creditors.
 After al, the old Lancashire system of banking Is, perhaps, the best The bankers there issued m notes of their own, and bona fde bills of exchange ere the chief commercial medium in all large transactions They passed by endorsement from man |" man, aud
 the last holder has his remedy a law not only against the drawer, but against every endorser. II may be asked what advantage IS here in such medium over bank notes which shall represent such bills of ex- change actually in the vaults ofthe bank2 The prn. cipe advantage is, that through them we see lhe be- ginning and the end of every credit transaction. The bill of exchange falls due definite day, and then it must be pad or dishonored. Bank notes, thougl always due, are, in the aggregate, never paid, and by one contiiyance another, payl.ent oi them IS deferred long, that length it becomes impossible to pay them al all.

Yet, such is, in effect, the answer ol the Banks in the middle States, to the demands upon them for payment of their debts. As soon as every body else Is ready, they will be.

JUST SENTIMEsTs.-The Spectator commenting upon the seizure of Grogan, by Canadian volunteers, and our frontier troubles generally, holds this manly language. ..fl4FN
 The president of the United States issues procla- nation ayowng the disordcred state of society within his own jurisdiction, threatening the lawless with the terrors of the law and entreang the peace own, down the secret societies and the overt pilliage of arseuals. And we, who cannot keep our own quasi military troops in order-who cannot ohlige the off, cer to respect the royal commission which he holds, and who have our public gaols prostituted to the va garies of land of kdnappers-Iangh at President Tyler for the weakness of his government The British Government has not, so far as we know even endeavored, like Mir. Tyler, control the practical lawessness of its own subjects by ambition and
 ing; the Caroline affair itself arose of violation of territory and we have suffered time creep on with out warning the aggressors of the consequences of their acts, until another case has arisen. 1t were we at least, if the Governor of Canada initiated President Tyler's declaration of the law. At peace and united in the object of repressng outrage whatever side, the two great countries night crush the hall-barbarized rulans who, under tie of defending each, brave the oter but while future jeal ousies and punctos give il to the two Governments the semblance of hostility It remains in the power of a few backwoodsmen and borderers to plunge two empires into unwelcome contest. which double the burdens of the British tax-pay, and saddle the American citizen with much dreaded national debt
 ito say nothing ofpriyate ruin and misery.

A man named Boiling has been condemned, in North Carolina to be branded on the cheek with the letter B. to receive l07 lashes and to be imprisoned three years, for having married two wives.
 A woman named Foster, has been condemned in Philadelphia, to thirty days imprisonment for having two husbands.
 There is more difference in the punishment for the two offences, than any difference in the several cumstances can explain. Theyare both extreme; one in its barbarous severity, the ether in it's leniency.- The is in somerespects the fault of the code of punishment which allows of such unusual and cruel infictions the other, in the administration of the law which yielded the social position and fashion, abei connections of the party, an immunity which defeats the ends of justice, and creates dstrust in
 the equa operation of laws. The first can be reformed by Legislation, and probably will be- the second is the more dangerous, because prevalent and existing Tn the corrupted state of public opinionte homage which is generally paid by juries and courts to adven,ii;ous station Looking around upon the de- cisons of courts and jures. how often do we see that slight offences in the MOOT and iendless are ys ited with the severest penalties of the law, while wealth and connections enable great offenders to es cape with but slight rebuke, and often with loud ex- pressions of sympathy for the misfortune of coming unluckily in collision with the laws.
