Many years OF trial, Instead Of impair

has won for it an Appreciation and notori-
ETY. by far exceeding the mos. sauguine ex-

RATE OF INTEREST OF THE BANK OF ENGLAND
The late resolve of the 'Old Lady IN Threadneedle
street. to advance the rate of discount from to
24 per cent has not been very graciously received
by the monied and commercial interests. The rea-
is, that there is little or nothing in the present
aspect of affairs 10 justify this step. Capital is
abundant enough, and there has been no sudden
demand for Accommodation 10 call for the check
nterposed by the Bank. The motives, however
which sway the DEGREES emanating from the Bank
parlor,' though secret, are not quite inscrutabe;
and just now very sinister construction is put
upon them, rs far as regards the alteration in the
rate of discount. One of these is that gold is fall
precious commodity, is naturally anxious to bolster
up its price as long as possible. How it can long
do so in the face of the large gold importatons
continually pouring in, is serious question, and
likely, ere long, to become pressing one, also,
restore the balance of Trade with France.-N. Y.

1MPoRrANr LEGAL DEcsIoN.-Valus of Tar
Iitles.-Judge Drummond, of the United States
circuit court, gave decision at Springfield, ILL
nois, on the I'd inst, in the case of WI. Turner
against Sarah Starr, touching land titles, which is
of great interestto the country.
The plaintiff claimed the land under the patent
title, regularly deduced from the United States
The defendant claimed by tax title under the
laws of 1927 and 1929. The land was vacant and
unoccupied. The defendant had no actual pos
session of it. butclaimed it under the aforesaid tax
title, and had paid all The taxes assessed upon it
for seven successive yeals before the commence
mentof the suit, and claimed the protection of
the second section of the limitation law of 1852.
The court held that the said law was constitu-
tional: that the defendant had brought herself
within its provisions, and that hers was therefore
to be considered the paramount title, and Judge
ment was accordingly rendered for the defendant.

The AsToR LIBRARy.-The Aslor Library in the
city ofNew York, bids fairto become one of the
nobleSt ornaments to that city, as well as worthy
monument of the benevolence of its founder. 1t
will be opened next spring, free from debt, with
$4,000 volumes, and vested fund of $3.50, 900, the
interest ofwhch is to be applied solely 10 enlarge
ing the collection. The total value of the funds
anil property Of the Institution is S453 367, 49, of
which 100000 are Mr.. Astor's legacy; 81 ,O29 90
ale donation by Dr. Cogsw ell; So 472 81 are derived
from premium on the stock transferred with the
first installment; S12,551 33 from interest, ac-
count, &c. OF the 100000 bequeathed by Mr..
Astor, the trustees acknowledge the receipt of $685.
433 33, and the remainder will be due on the 29th
of March next. The amount expended for the
building and site up to the first ult, was $4,000
dollars and the aggregate expenditure for books TO
the same date S75,084 40. More than sixty
thousand volumes have been already collected, and
the librarian, DIR. Cogswell, has again gone to Eu-
rope with authoty 10 expend S25, 1000 in purchas-
ing additional works. Thus far the cost Of the IL
brary has averaged only about $1,25 per volume,
which, when the rarity and value CT many of the
works are considered, shows clearly that the pur-
chases have been made with utmost regard for e.
economy. The library edifce, in Lafayette Place,
has been completed, butts it not thought advisable
TO arrange the books on the shelves until April. BY
the LIST OF May, is expected that all things will be
ready for the admission of the public.
