The Bank of England.

A few steps farther on was the power
fnl institution whose influence Is felt in
finance and trade all over the world-thc
Bank of England. Bounded on all four
sides by the streets, all its windows open
into central court, and, since the riots
in 1850, it has been occupied every night
by detachment of soldiers. Its business
requires a working force of 200 men.
Its bank notes are printed within the
building. The same note is never paid
out over its counter twice. The new
bill that is issued this morning is retired
as soonas it returns, no matter if the
same man pays il in this afternoon with
out wrinkle in it. II is allowed to
issue notes to the amount Of $4,000, 600
on the security of its standing loan of q
much larger amount TO the government,
which constitutes part of the public
debt. For every note issued above that
and it has circulation of over $40
O0O,O0O-bullion of an equal amount
must be paid into its treasury, and must
be kept there for the redemption Of the
note when it returns. The traveller on
the continent often finds its notes at Il
premium in gold. No note is issued of a
!, IS denomination than e2. Every note
is numbered, and tho name of the party
to whom it is paid out is carefully
recorded. The practice Of keeping a
memorandum which will show from
whom he receives every bank note that
passes through his hands is common.
also, with the painstaking London trades
man. ltproved fortunate thing for q
friend of mine on one occasion. He had
given his wife ESQ note. Their little
child got hold of the portemonnaie and
destroyed the note. as they supposed, by
throwing it on the open fire. There
would have been no hope Of realizing on
a greenback under such circumstances.
But $50 was worth trying for. The
number of the note was ascertained
from the parties through whose hands
il came TO my friend, sworn statement
of the facts was filed at the bank. ...and,
after year or 10 had passed without
its having been presented for redemp-
ton, the bank paid over the money
The bank takes ir and pays out its gold
coin by weight Sometimes il sends out
a sealed package and receives it again
before the seal is broken, and yet deducts
quite sum from the amount at which it
paid out, TO make good the loss-detected
by the unerring scales--which occurred
by the abrasion of the coins in rams
