"We have asserted it to bo one of the defects Of tho system of national banks that it dis .criminates between tho depositor and tue noto hoi lei, in case o? insolvency and division of assets. Reason aDd justice aliko condomD tho discrimination. lu England, from which coun? try we havo borrowed our monetary institu? tions, such a discrimination is not known. lu lS?C the solicitor of thc Bank cf England, .Mr. '"freshfield, for the information of the Chan? cellor of tho Exchequer, furnished aa opinion ' in which be alhrmed that the holder of notes could claim no preference over the depositor, 'in case of the insolvency of that institution, (Minutes of Evidence taken beiore the Select . Cdmmittoo of the House of Commons, 1858). ?This opinion was ci ven subsequent to tLe pass? ing of thc act of 1844, and although it applied ' to tho bullion in tho Bank ol England, it was applicable to any other portion of its assets; Tor tbe question had never been made before tizeadoprion of that ifct. Tho considerations that address themselves to our sense of jus. .tico'do not, however, require io be fortified by authority. Policy equally forbids any distinc? tion"bf the kind There- are two classes of depositors. 1. Thoso who apply for discounts. 2. Those who lodge their money in banka for safekeeping. The ???acimuts granted to the first class of de? positors are placea to their credit and become . deposits. The second class owe no other favor to the banks with which they deposit their ?joney but that of safekeeping, for which hanks have a right to what is called a ware? house rent. The first class take money oat of hanks. The second class put money into them. The second class furnish the very fonds that the first class borrows. Whence are the Bums derived that fructify our fields, that set so many shuttles in motion that stim? ulate commeroial enterprise? Frjni what source but the deposits of banks, which aro, first accumula ed into taree aggre? gates and then distributed to those who em? ploy them productively. Tho Boport of the Beeret Committee of tho House of Commons in 1858, stated, among the evidence? of mate? rial improvement in the British Empire, were the deposits of the joint stock banks bf Lon? don, which had been augmented from ?8 850 - TO in 18*7, to ?48 600,724 in 1857-that euch i was'the magnitude of. these deposits that one i broker had five millions; another had between i .eight and ten m?lioos? ? Now. allowing for the i circumstat.ee that London is tho great centre i of receipts and payments, every' citv and town i in tho TJuited Kingdom that possesses a bank i ?Sah bear tesum;>?j.* 10 tlie valu* m? import- i ance of tho deposit System, au*! ???? < constitute the great, tund whick supplies the 1 Btrea^is of c pital that hourish industry and ? *I*end the limits of cut?prise? i The Comptroller of tho Currency, in hi3 last - report, recommeuds'that Congress should pro- i hibit the receipt of interest on deposttB by tho 1 national banks. This is another exempiifica- t rion ot that spirit,of interierouce with.theiu- ] ternal economy of banks which would imoedo i their freedom by artificial restrictions. If the suggestion hud co .tined itself to those banks ' that give undue fuoilit es of credit to speouia- i tors, th ero would, nt lea sr, have boen abstract justice in the suggestion; but there is no pos? sibility of diwtiiiguishi tg the depositor who 1 makes a discount the basis of his deposit and ' the depositor who lodges his money in bank > merely lor safekeeping and convenience. i The . sttporintehdet?? st,;tc? be wishes to J restrain speculation by his sng^cslion. Now, i whioh of the banks, those of Gi eat britain, i where allowing interest on deposits is thad?* J universal, or those ol the United Ptates, whero <? i the pratt icc is so raro, are more t 'laraoteriaad c 1by sp?culation? i Jtepoait bant- oonatitate a species of SA*- t inga banks. They are so considered in deo:- c land, whore the deposits have often amounted t to ?25.000.000 or ?30,000,000. The Scotch are 1 " remarkable for thrift and enterprise. Their i .banking Bestem, of which defostts constitute t an ess?nti'a 1 part, have a large agency in these < moral results. And yet our financiara would t place them ander Usabilities. Incentives i onght, therefore, to T. J held dut, and not dis- t eu V? i vea, to the formation of those largo ag-' t gregates which are among the ohief benefits l ofj oint stock associations. ( ' Wo would not lessen the security of those 1 classes of abo io ty to whom circulating notes < are of Ti tal importance. Their real security, 1 however, against -those who would abuse the ? privilege of issuing paper money, i? in a con- " vertible currency and the uso of ccin iu rotail t transactions and the payment of labor. < While one of the defects in the banking law, I namely, the discrimination between the note- 1 holder and the depositor, is without precedent < or example in the history of banking in any I part of Europe, the other defect, tho limita- i non of the issues, appears to have been corned i from tho example of England, in the act of 1844, 1 commonly called Peel's ac:. It a pr ears to us as < a remarkable fact in the history of these trans- ' actions, that the framers of that act should have- l been so entirely unconscious of the bearing 1 of a well known principle, that undue extension < of credit, in the form of bills of exohange, de? posits, ?tc., has much more to do with mone? tary disturbance than bank notes. Tho very evidence that was taken before the committee that affirmed the truth and propriety of Sir Robert Feel's act-the committee ot 1858-es? tablished thi? tact. Ample testimony had been afforded ten years bet?re of the great differ? ence in amount between bills of exchange aud hank notes. Mr. Lsatham, a high authority on a'l such subjects, estimated the amount of bills of exchange circuiting iu the three king? doms m 1839, at ?528 000.000. Mr. Bosanquet, who published an able pamphlet in 1842, nuder the titre of "Metallic, Paper and Credit Curren ' cy," ix,, draws the conclusion from tho state? ments and calculations of Mr. Leatham, that property changed bands by means of bills of exchange, bv endorsement, to the value of twice ?628.000 000. or ?1,056 bOO.000, being at the rate of more than ?3 000,000 per day. Mr. Bosanquot estimates tho daily amount of ope? rations performed by deposits throughout the United Kiugdom nt not less than ?15.1.00.000, while the daily amouut of operations perform? ed bv bank no.es could not be oatimated, ho thinks, above ?20 000,000. Sin ie that period, there has bceu au enlargement of the note currency of tho Bank of England. We have never seen auv es imate since that places it higher than ?80.000 000. The diffjrence will . show the limned agency of bank noted iu tho expansion of crodit, compared with other forms of credit, proving tho error of the theory that assumes as its basis the over-issue of bank notes. There are uo means of ascertaining tho amount of bills of exchange in the United States, unless through the stamp duties, as iu England; but no one has taken the trouble, as Mr. Leatham did in England, to estim e o tho amount of bills of exchange in tho United States. A compausuu o' a similar character of tho amount of bills of exchange and de Eosits, with the amount allow d to bo issued y thc national b.tnUs, ?rid show a similar re? sult-to wit, tho very subordinate asouc of bank notes in comparison with other forms of credit in deranging velues. Tho final conclusion from these statcuTuits is, that while tho framers of the act of 1841 ?ir Bitbert Peel's act-looked exclusively in framing that act to tho over-issue of tho notes of the Bank of England, they entirely over? looked that much greater EOIUCC ox disturb ance- fAe undue exteuaion of crtdil, in tho form of billa of exch mee and deposits-and that the framers of tho United Stutos Banking law committed precisely tho sameni's:;ik? when they limited the isnue of th3 note.) of tito national banks to $300 000 000; in other words, that they paidexcltusiveattention io Ute pos? sible over issue of the bank notes, emit ?ry overlooking that, greater source ot derauRC ment-tho inflation f credit. Our whole monetary system is defective full of anomalies and* contradictions, anti ct peril to the best interests of tito co rill try.

ABOUT WIDOWS. A Chapter on 'Widows, their Ways and til ctr Varieties. [From the Saturday Review.] . Thoie a. o widows and widows. Thero are those who aro bereaved, and thosa who are released; those who lose their support, and those whose chains aro broken; those who aro sunk in desolation, and those who wake np into freedom. Of the first we will not speak. Theirs is a soirow too sacred to bo publicly handled even with sympathy; but the second demands no such respectful reticonc- Tho widow who is no sooner released trou) one husband than she plots for another, and the widow who leaps into liberty over the grave bf a gaoler, not a lover, are fair game enough. They have always beou favorite subjects for authors to exercise their wits on; and while men aro what they are-laughing animals, apt to seo the humor lying in incongruity, and with a spice of the devil to sharpen that samo lau?hter into s?tiro-they will romain favorite subjects, tragic as tho state is when widow? hood is deeper than mere outward condition. Thero aro m?ny varieties of thc widow, and all aro not beautiful. For one, thero is the widow who is bent on remarrying whether men like it or not-that thing of prey who goes about the world seeking whom she may de? vour; thatawft.' creature who boars down on her victims witii a vigor in her assaults that puts to flight the popular faucy about the weaker sex and and the distribution of power. 1 No hawk poised over a brood of hedge birds, no shark cruising steadily toward a shoal of small ' try, no piratical craft sailing under a free flag, j and accountable to no 'aw Bavo success, was , aver more formidable to the weaker tbin2.s pur- j sued than is tho hawk widow bone on remarry mg. She knows SJ much; thero is nora ma? nouvre by which a victory can bo stolen that lac has not mastered; aud she is not afraid of j ?ven the most desperate measures. When ehe ' las once struck, ha wou-d bo a clover man and ! t bold one who could escapc^ier. Generally cfc but meagrely provided ior in worldly goods ! -else her game would not bc so difficult -sue natos up for her poverty here by her. wealth cf ' >oid resources, and by tho courage willi which '? ?ho takes her own fortunes in hand, and, with lier own those of her moro eligible masculine J asociales. Shu is a woman ol purpose, and lives for an end, and that end is remarriage ivith the m >st favorable seulement practicable ( in tho occasion, lt fate has dealt hardly bv her -though may bj compassionately by her suc? cessive spou-es-and has lauded her in tho widowed state twice, or thrice, she is in no ?vise daunted, and as little abashed. She merely refits after a certain time of anchor? ite, and goes out into tho op.n world again For a repetition of her chance. She has no lotion of a perpetuity of weeds, and though mo may have cloared hor half century with i margin besides, thinks tho suggestive 1 ir.ange blossoms of the bride infinitely more lesrrubia tiiaa fhe fruitless heliotrope of the vidow. If one husfc'.tod is taken, she remom >ers the old proverb, sud reflects on the many, i paite aa good, who are potentially lofc subject o her choice; and. somehow, she manages. It ias been said that any woman can marry any j nan if she d?termines to do so, and follows on he line of her determination with tenacity and :ommon senBe. The; IWfk widow exetaohfU- I he 'ruth of this saying. She determines upon < naniago, and sho usually succeeds-the quos- < ion being one of victim only, and not of sacri- , leer One has to fall to her share; there is no ?elp for it. and the whole coutest is, which ihall it be? which is strongest to break 1 1er bonds? which craftiest io slip out >f them? which most resolute not to bear hem from the beginning? This tho straggling lovey may settle among themselves tho best vay they can. When tho hawk pounces down ?p?n Ito quarry, it is sauve qui peat ! But all :annot be saved. One has to bo caught, and he choice is determined partly by chauce, and jurlly by relative strength. When thc widow )f experience and resolve bears down upon lier wey, thc result is equally certain. FJouuUer- 1 ng avails nothing; strugcling and splashing i ire just as futilo; ono amone; the crowd bas to i :omo to tho slaughter, like Mrs. Bond's ducks, md to assist at his own immolation. Tho best thing he can do is to make a handsome sur? render, and to'let tho world of men and broth? ers believe ho rather likes his position than not. Tho widow of the Wadman kind is no crea turo of prey, neither shark nor hawk; at tho worst she is bu? a cooing dove, making just, the sweetest littlo noise in tho world, tho ten? derest little call, to indicate ber wiiereabouts, and to show that she is loucl. and feels it. She sits closo. waiting to be found, and does not vamp aud dash about like the hawk sister? hood; neither docs she protend that she is un? willing to bo found, still less deny that a soft warm nest, well-lined and snugly sheltered, is better than a oncly brauch, stretching out comfortless and bare into the bleak wide world. She, too, is almost sure to got what she wauts, with the advantago of being voluntarily chosen and not unwillingly submitted to. This is the kind of woman who is al? ways mildly but thoroughly happy iu her married life; unless, indeed, her husband should boa bruto, which Heavenlorefend. She lives iu peace and bland contentment while tho fates permit, and when ho dies she buries him decently and lamonts him decorously; but she thinks li, rolly lo spend her lifo iu weeping hy? the sido ol his cold grave, when her tears eau do no good to either of them. Rather she thinks it a proof of her love for him, anti tho evidence ot how true was her happiness, that she should oloo'i io givo him a t,ucctss'?i. Hor bieened experience in ibo mst bus made her trustful in tho tature: and because uiio hus fouud ono mau faithful sho thinks that all i.ro Abdicls. As a mle, this typo of woman docs find men pleasant, and by her own nature in? sures domestic happiness. Sho is always ten? derly, and never passionately, in love, oven with thc husband she has loved tho best; she gives in to no excesses, to tho right orto the left; her touiooramout is of* that sereno, moon? light kind which does not fit ii; uv others nor wear ont its possessor; without ambition, or the power to fling hers-lf into any absorbing occupation, she hvo* only to please aud bo pleased at howe; o nd if she is not a wife wear? ing her light Totters l ivingly, and proud that she is loitered, sho is nothing. As some wo? men arc bora mothers, and others are born nuns, so ?B the Wildman roman a horn w.te, an 1 shines iu no other character or capacity. But in this che excels; and, knowing this, abo Blicks to ber rofe, how freqr.outly .soever the interlocutor may bc changed. Even a hard man is moved at tho sight of a> pretty vouugwidow in tho funeral black of lier fiivt grW, Kitting apart with a patient smile, and eves cast meekly dowu. as ouo not of tne world, though in it." Hor loss is too recent to admit ol any thought of reparation; and jet what man docs not think of that time of reparu? tion ? and if she is more than usually char i ing i:i person, and well dowered iii purse, what mau does not think of himself as lue best repairer Bho fould take? Then as lime goes cn and ??ho glides gracefully into Ibo era of mitigated grief, how beautiful is her whole manner, how tnstc:til her attire! tho most exquisite colors of thc r.'in>n:i: kind loik garish o--s.de ber dab : y tints, aud tho uuicinncrcd.nriih of b . ppr girls isco;:r?o beside her faint subdued admission of moral sunshine Grays as leudar as a doves breast; regal purples which have i glow behind their gloom; stately silks of sombre black softly veiled by clouds of gauzy whito-?ll speak ol' passing time, aud fha gradual bloom? ing of the spring after the sadness of the win? ter; all symbolize tho flowers wbich are grow? ing ever on the sod that covers tbe dear de? parted; all bint at tho melting of tho funereal gloom into a possiblo bridal. She begins, too. to take pleasure in the old familiar turnes of life. She steals into a quiet back scat at the opera; she just walks through a quadrille; she pees no harm in a^e.'e or flower show, if pro? perly companioned. Winter does not last for? ever, and a life-long mourning is a wearisome prospect; so sho goes through her degrees in accurate order, and comes out at thc cud radi? ant. For whan tbe faint shadows cast by tbe era of mitigated grief fado away, she is tho widow par *zci /'?.?ce-thc blooming w.dow youog. rich, fray and free, with the world on her side, hor fortune in hor band, and tbe ball at ber loot. She is the freest woman alive; freer even than auv old maid to bo found. THE VERDICT rs THE POLLARD CASE.-Tho Richmond Dispatch says with rcioreuce to the verdict ot tho jury in thc case of Grant, charged with the murder of H. Rives Pollard : We learn from an undeniable source that tbe verdict ot the jury was not founded in (he slightest degree upon thc plea of provocation. Tho minds of the jurymen were generally de? cided before any evidence upon that point had been offered, arid there was but littlcdifficuity in coming to a final conclusion. Tho instruc? tions of the judge left no room for considering tho question of provocation, and brojght the issue to one ot lifo and doath. Ibis being tbe case, no ono of the jurors was willing to say positively, upon the evidence adduced, that the accused was guilty of murder in tho first degree. -A bona fide prize light, according to the rules of tue ring, except that hair-pulling and biting wero allowed, took placo between two women in Somerville. Mass., at an early hour on Monday morning, and was witnesse i by a large orowd of abandoned persons of both sexes. The contestants, named respectively Sally Chapman and Molly Jones, on theil ap? pearance in the ring, wore clad in the conven? tional costume of ga.tere, stockings and draw? ers, wearing nothing oise to apeak of boy oud waterfalls and Magenta curls. At the very first round Chapman became frightened and jump? ed out of the ring, but her backers drove her in again, and she eventually won thc fight. At the twenty-first round hor opponont, Melly Joues, both of them having boen severely pun? ished, begged her seconds iu God's name to take her away, and so the fight and tho money -fifty dollars-wore awarded to Sarah. This acme of human disgraco was reserved for Mas? sachusetts, the land that boasts its progress, its isms, woina i's rights,and laws against prize fighting. -A letter from New York says: "Tho high tariff men aro delighted with the news from Washington, that A. V. Stewart is not to go into the Cabinet; so also are many extreme Republicans, who were afraid tho New York merchant wa3 not a sufficiently pronounced partisan to suit their views. A movement is on foot on the part of Bomo of tho Now York merchants to present Mr. S. with an address on his return from Washmgtou, acknowledg? ing bis patriotism, thanking him for his rea? diness to 60crifiri0 his personal interests for the public good, and deprecating tho legal dis? abilities which prevented tho government from availing iteelt of his valuable business experi? ence." -The New York papers report another kero? sene accident. Some genius placed a can con? taining keroseno into not wal or, and an ex? plosion followed, breaking th - windows and lestroying tho plastering throtifjhont the house. The damage is estimated at $1500. ibo shock broke tho window glass of several buildings ia the neighborhood. -rowers' statue of Washington, which was omoved by General Butler froid iiie State Souse at Baton ?OUJO.
