Members of the London Exchange

The sworn brokers Of the city of London
are only admitted to the stock exchange after
the most careful inquiry to their anteced-
ents; according to the rules, candidates for
election must be recommended by three MEM
bers Of not less than four years standing,
each one of whom must have personal knowl-
edge Of the applicant and Of his crcum-
stances and who engage to pay 600 each to
his creditors in case he becomes a defaulter
within four years from the date of his ad-
mission. The entrance fee is G105 and the
annual subscription f22 shilling, If, how
ever, the candidate has been clerk in the
stock exchange for four years previous to his
application in which case his character is
well-known. he requires two suretes only for
$500, and his entrance fee is reduced to f63,
the annual subscription being the same.
The members are divided into brokers and
jobbers or dealers; the former buying and
selling for the public, the latter specializing
Oh their own account. The brokers have also
to take out IA license from the corporation Of
London under very heavy penalties; but this
does not give them right Of admission to
the exchange. Defaulting brokers are most
severely dealt with, being expelled from the
stock exchange, and their expulsion is adver-
tised in the daily papers.-The Queen.

above sensational statement is somewhat over
drawn. Still there is probably some slight basis
for such an extraordinary announcement Club
men sometimes get excited toward the midnight
hour. and some old army officers among them
may have loudly proclaimed their bellicose in
tentions; but it may be safely assumed that no
well -organized movement of the character de-
scribed in the Whitehall Review has thus far
been inaugurated. Indifference to Ireland's
wrongs is one of the chief characteristics Of the
British laborer. and the English gentleman
seldom embarks in an enterprise of this kind un-
less it has the full sanction of law. The politi-
clans have lately succeeded in working up a
popular distrust of the honesty of the Irish de-
mands, and the possibility of civil war has been
spread abroad by anti-Irish agitators, but the
masses have so many ills of their own to occupy
their attention that nothing short of an open
Gus bloodshedding, will ever arouse them to the
point of enthusiasm indicated by the Whitehall
Review,
