States bonds! Lastly, there Is ample room
for doubt whether the condition of the English
joint stock banks is not an element OF weak
ness in the credit system OF England. This Is
question upon which the course OF events
in London the coming Winter may perhaps
throw some light. The Bank of England
renders some things possible in the British
metropolis which the absence of any great
bulwark of commercial credit should foroid
the undertaking of in New-York.
TT No check shall be certified until the full amount is
first deposited
THE TRIBUNE has already commented on
This reckless custom. If Wall Street is an in
stitution which cannot be maintained without
putting at stake the money of people who
have no wish to venture it there, let some
other machine be devised for the purpose oil
ascertaining the value of bonds and stocks.
III. Checks upon Associated Banks only shall DC
received on deposit.
~ Checks upon places out OF New York City shall 10
eceived At rates of discount TO be fixed by the Clearing
houso Committee.
v. Checks will be taken at depostors risk and col
lected through the Clearing house.
VI Checks not good will be returned to the deposor
the day following
The above four rules relate more particu-
larly TO the business OF the banks themselves.
The reasons for them are satisfactorily set
forth in the report. The report contains some
excellent remarks on the subject of the re-
serve, upon which the positions taken do not
materially differ from those recently advanced
in these columns. we are glad that the fact
is recognized that, " in the absence of any i'm
"pOrtant central Institution, such as exists in
"Other commercial nations, ire Associated
Banks are the last resort IN this country IN
" times Of financial extremity, and upon their
L" stability and sound conduct the national pros
"perity greatly depends" The strong argu-
ment against the Usury law, which, in our
opinion, more than offsets all that we have ever
read or heard in favor of it, that it prevents
the banks from augmcnting their resources in
times of emergency by advancing the rate OF
interest, thereby precipitatng caiamities which
might easily have been avoided, is also forcibly
presented IL seems to us, however, that the
Committee would have found it difficult to
adduce any sound reason why the Secretary
of the Treasury should have any voice in de-
termining what interest the New-York banks
shall charge for the use of their money We
ara sorry 10 see this otherwise excellent re-
port disigured by such blemish, for 1t is
production which deserves and VIII receive
great deal of attention and a wide circulation.

Canadian correspondence, herewith published,
shows that the late defeat and overthrow OF
the Macdonald Ministry was accomplished by
what was likely TO be very close contest in
Parliament. The odds, which were supposed
to be with the Ministry, only fell against them
at last by a majority so small as to have al
most no tangible existence. One or two votes
would have decided the case either way. The
Ministry, however, seem to have been pre-
pared for their final downfall; the appoint
ment of about one hundred officials, just on
the eve of the resignation of the Cabinet, was
not only a piece of shrewdness which our
British cousins would call "a smart Yankee
"trick," but was unworthy of dignifed Gov
eminent. Some of the appointees were MEM
bers of the outgoing Cabinet and others were
members of Parliament who retained their
seats after they had received their appoint
ments. The whole proceeding was worthy of
the very lowest grade of American politicians,
which is saying a great deal.

II il announced that the grand result of
Secretary Richardson's silver-edged resump-
tion ia the distribution of $4,000 in halves and
nuarters This is not very large addition to
the circulating medium of the country; and
there is no report from the Treasury as to
how much of this amount was spent on the
premises and how much was boarded.

The beef-eaters of England are not 80 fortunate
as they thought they going to be. The attempt,
which we noted a short time ago, to Introduce into
that country fresh Australian meats in a frozen
state has failed. However it is hoped that this
failure is temporary and accidental The ship Nor
folk which carried the twenty tons of frozen meat,
was only seventy-nine days in making the voyage
from Australia and before her departure meat which
had been for eighty days subjected to the same
process as that she carried had been eaten by .
large company at a public luncheon, and declared
90 be exactly like newly-killed meat The expert
ment seemed to promise thorough success But
there was some defect the construction of the
apparatus the freezing brine from the ice and salt
upon the top of the meattanks wasted too rapidly,
and consequently the ice provided could not last out
the voyage Most of the meat was thrown over
board on the thirty fourth day; only one ton was
taken safely as far as the Azores. when 1t too was
thrown away. the ice failing entirely. Proably more
care in the arrangement of cargo and a more
accurate calculation of the leakage Of the brine will
vet carry Australian beef aud mutton safely to Lon
don dnner-tables

It seems necessary to repeat the warning
which we gave yesterday against our Govern
ment's falling into feeble policy in the
Virginius matter We are not yet in a
position to state precisely the nature of
the demands for reparation which should
be made upon the Spanish Government,
or even if any such demands should be
made But it is not for our Government to
satisfy the public beforehand that any attempt
to vindicate our national dignity will be futile,
on account Of the inability of the Spanish
Government to exact obedience from its own
servants. Such, however, appears to be the
object of our State Department, Judging from
telegram from Washington published to-day,
and it is against such spirit that we desire
to renew our protest.

Scarcely any more important subject than
that discussed by the American Public Health
Association, now in session in this city, can
be suggested. The public health is at present
a topic of freshest interest as the prevalence
of epidemic diseases in this country and Eu-
rope has aroused public attention to the
causes of these scourges. Yesterday, the As
ISOLATION considered housekeeping house ar
chitecture, and womens health among the
other branches of the great subject which
underies its work. The results of these dis
cussiOns are likely to be valuable; and they
are worth general popular consideration.
