TIE BANK OF ENGLAND cHARrER.

It is generally believed, says the Journal Of
Commsres, that one Of the first subjects which will
engage the attention Of the British Parliament, on
It's meeting for the despatch of business on the
shird of next month, will be the Bank of England
charter act, framed and passed by Sir Robert Peel
in 1914, and now approaching tie termination Of
the stipulated period to which its operation was
limited. Public opinion in England SIS to the mer-
its Of this important question is represented by
three parties, the first advocating the simple re-
aewal Of the charter in its present form; the Sc
O0nd proposing some important notifications Of
its provisions, more particularly as regards the
hXed proportion now existing between the issues
Of notes and the metallic reserve Of the bank; and
she third demanding lie complete snnulment, on
the ground that it srtifCjsly restricts the currency
Of the country and prevents relief being given to
thBt arrangement of the money market which Rd-
mits Of being eGectually Temedied by sn increase
Of the circulation. The three parties are already in
the Geld, seeking by Legitimate ag tstion to infu
snce the deliberations Of Parliament in favor Of
their respective opinions. Each party numbers in
ito ranks men of experience, ability aud standing;
Il supported by influential organs Of the rhetrop6l-
itan and provincial press, and is well snd ably rep
resented in the Legislature.

PERIODICAL LITERATURE. - Under this head a
late number of the New York Tribune contains
two and half columns Of as trenchent criticism
as one could wish to read. TIE way the writer
quarters the qusrteries mangles the monthIes,
and snuihilstes the miliners magazines, is quite
fearful to behold. Assigning, generally, e low
rank to all our periodical literature, Except Put
mans Monthly the reviewer disposes Of each in
turn, in g slasbing style, which must be decidedly
sdfying ito whom it may concern" We coz
dense the entire srticle into few lines, thus -
"The venerable North American" is respectable
always respectable" snd-thst is all 1T hiss no

tEols nothing" "Tbe Christian Examiner is 'fTeer"
but after ell, is merely "dsinty, grave, Unex-

religious reviews "The Church Review (Episeo-
PAlisn) s the feeblest," and The aMethodist Quar-
terly (alwsys excepting Brownson's) the strong

enormous circulation as literary production, tho
il may be IS a picture" "The National Magazine"

magazines are disposed of in lump

and though the writing in them is called original

tween and 10 o'clock there was nobody in the
house but my own family; was married to Mr..
Buydell By minister, in bis own house. Here
Mrs Burdell produced the certificate Of marriage,
which went to show that she was united 10 we'd
lock with the deceased on the 18th OF October
last by the Rev. Urish Marvine, of the Reformed
Dutch Church in Blocker street.
The witness stated thst it YVES the intention of
deceased and herself to keep the marriage secret
until June next. when it would be made public.
The property spoken of (the household furniture)
belonged to her previously to the marriage with
deceased.
GHE MYSTERIOUS MURDER IN New foRK.-A
letter from New York dated February 3, has the
following interesting particulars relative to thu
mysterious murder Of DR.. BURDELL:
The Bond street murder is still the great topic
of New York The testimony yesterday disclOs-
cd Nothing definite to the authorship OF the
crime, but it proved very vile state of morals IN
the household of which the deceased was mem.
Der. 1t is very doubtful whether the deceased was
Married to Mf3 Cunningham, but not very doubt
fui that she had criminal intimacy with Eckel.
One Of the popular theories is that Mrs Q. and
her lover wished to secure Burdel's property; that
q marriage ceremony Was Performed between her
and person who personated Burdei; that the
murder was then col4mitted, and then comes the
| widows claim on the property. This, however,
may be all wrong. The C0roner's brutal levity at
the inquests disgusts every body. One of his vie
acts was to have hrs. Cunningham stripped and
examined in the presence Of himself and several
witnesses, on the pretext OF discovering whether
| her person bore any msrSs Of violence
| The examination adjourned last evening till 81
O'Clock this morning, when it viii he resumed. The
| prisoner Mrs. c., is the widow Of a Brooklyn
distiler, whose sudden death, some ten years age
soon after his life was insured in her favor for
| $40 600, excited some comment. Size is also said
to be the aunt OF hiss Van Wrinkle, who witt
| her lover, named Caldwell commit ed suicide a
| Troy couple of years ago. The ueighborhood Q
the house ia Bond strce5 is constantly surrounded
by q curious crowd; but the police keep all out O
the building except witnesses, reporters, etc.
