Her Maesty's government have also received a despatch from Berlin, stating that his death took place at F o'clock this morning. An hour be- fore the despatch arrived, I received accounts from Lord John Russell, at Berlin stating that the Emperor was at the point of death. and had already taken leave of his family. Although this occurred but so short a time ago I have no doubt, under the circumstances, of the au thcnticity of the repUrt."

ORIGIN OF BANKING.--In this age of debt, script and consols, says the Missouri Democrat, the public may be curious to learn the origin of banking. Money was wanting to the pub lie coaers, and the Doge, having exhausted every other financial expedimenr, was obliged to have a forced loan from the most opulent citizens, each being required to contribute according to his ability. On this occasion, the chamber of loans was established. To this chamber the contributors were made creditors, at an unusual interest of four per cent, rate fir below the standard of the age, These creditors in process of time, were incorporated into company, for the management of their joint concerns and formed the basis upon which afterwards was erected the bank Eenice,' the most ancient es- tablishment of its kind, and the model of all similar institutions. The method in which tn e aoove-named loan was repaid, Is the earliest in stance on record, of the funding system, ana the first example in any country, of perma- neut national debt"

A CHALLENGE TO THE SoUTH.-The own- CT of the famous race horse Wild Irishman has challenged Lecomte, or any other southern horse, to run three races on Long Island, the coming season, one mile, two mile, and three mile heats, for 5000 each race. This is a bold qHer to make against such horses as Lecomte, LeAlnston, Red Eye, Brown Dick, Highlander, etc.; pat the owner of Wild Irshman is in no way daunted by the reputation of those cele- brated nags, and thinks Wild Irishman little more than match for the best of them. lis Perlofnahces last season on the National Course, beating Red Eye Berry, Granite. S.line, Maid ol orieanS' McGrath, etc., in the best time ever made on the island, mark him as an extra ordinary horse, and warrant the high estimate placed on him by his owner Mir. James Irwin. This gentleman also owns, and has at the Red House training ground where they are daily exercised, Little Flea and Ellen Bateman. two crack nags. Should the above challenoe he accepted, the admirers of the turf may ami. cipate some capital racing in the spring.
