THE SECRET OF Scorer BASKING.-Of tlirty-one
banks in Scotland which issue notes, five only are
chartered-that is the responsibilities of the prOpre-
in those established is confined to the amount of
their subscribed capital The remaining twentv-six
are, with one or two exceptions, oint-Stock banks,
and the proprciors are liable to the public for the
whole Of the bank responsibilities TO the last shilling
of their private fortunes. The number of persons
connected with these banks as shareholders are very
great, almost every man of opulcnce in the country
being a holder Of stock to greater or less amount
The Scottish bankers have arranged amongst them
selves mutual system Of exchange as stringent as if
it had the force Of STATUTE by of which an over
issue Of notes becomes matter of perfect impossible
ity Twice In every week the whole notes deposited
with the different bankohcers in Scotland are regu
larry nterchanged. Now, with this system in opera
ton, it is perfectly udicous to suppose that any bank
would issue its paper raShy for the sake of extended
circulation. The whole notes In circulation through
Scotland return to their respective banks period
averaging from ten to eleven days in urban, and from
fortnight to three weeks in rural districts In con-
sequence of the rate of interest allowed by the banks
person has any inducemeut to keep bank paper by
him, but the reverse, and the general practice of the
country Is to keep the circulation at low rate as
possible. the numerous branch banks which sit
uated up and down the country the means of TAX
ing the notes of their neghbOrs out of the circle
speedily possible. In this way 1t is not possible for
the circulation to be than IS absolutely necessary
for the transactions Of the country If therefore, any
bank had been rash as to grant accommodation with
out proper security merely for the sake of obtaining
circulation, in ten days, or fortnight at the farthest
it is compelled to account with the other banks for
every note they have received If it docs not hold
enough Of their paper to redeem It's own upon exchange
it is compelled TO pay the difference in exchcquer bills

mutual agreement TO hold the fractional parts of each
thousand pounds being payable in Bank of England
in gold. In this way oyer-trading in far
as regards the issue of paper, is cectually guard
ed and controlled that it would puzzle parliament
with all its conceded conventional WISDOM to devise
any plan alike so simple and expeditions. Black

Tie stability of the Scotch Banking system is Illus
trated says Backwood by the fact that at the late in.
vestigation before committee of the House of Com
mons, it was stated, that whereas in Scotland the
whole loss sustained by the public from bank failures,
for a century and hatf amounted to f32 coo; the
loss to the public, during the Prerios gear London
alone, lcdS estimated al TEN TINES THAT AMOUNT.

The Fire Department from its intimate connection with

From statement furnished mo by the chief en- gnccr
appears that there in the city thirty nino en-

The introduction OF the Croton water, while it has
added vastly to the ability Of the department to answer
the ends of its organization has likewise suggested

been multiplied and have proved 20 be in many
advantageous substitutes for the fire engine From the

These considerations indicate the propriety of rcd

ful we have now in commission. An economy in the
number Of persons required to the necessary force
and great saving to the city in repairs might in this
