    promoted by the formation of more joiht-stock banks ; ^ The OiiAKcEtxoK . or ihe Excheqijeb had confirmed us sinaple people ia the South in ithenotion / we entevtained 3 : that Glasgow had had a little top much ; of modern joint-stock banking . No such thirigV ( Glasgow wants more . ; The Bank of Scotland , the / Royal pBanky the Uiiipn Bank of Scotland , the British Linen Company's Bank , the GoJttinHsrcial Baok , the National OBankj , the , plydesdale Bank , do not give sufficient acconiiuodatipn for such Jardent spirits as Mr . D . vSajsti > eman Mr . Walteh : "BtrcuANA'N , and the members of the Qlisgow Oliamber .-bf OpHfitnerce—bo , on the

    horncebpathic principle , that * like cures like / they ^ rould remedy the evils of joint-stock banking by creating more hanks of a , precisely siinilar character . Thefourth resolution affirras ' that the high rate of interest is . produced by . the Bank of England and the Bank Act , . although we haye the clearest eyidenoe * hat the Bank of England cannot possibly vary the maTket rate , tlat it only coafirms the rate existing out of doors , and that the-price' of money asof every other article , is vegnldteu l ) y the eternal laws 'of demand and supply . At least , the evidence

    we 'have is satisfactory to Southerners , although , probably , not sufficient for the keen wits of the North , who would ho able , no doubt , io prove , with equal satisfaction to themselves , that the nine and tea per pent , of Paris and Hamburg , und the thirty per cent , of New York , were all equally traceable to rtho oapricious Avorkiug of Pebl ' s pernicious Act . Tko fiftli being the ifiaaL resolution ^ of course caps tiie wholo—finis coronet opus . The < 3 hambev is to jytftitioa both Houses of Parliament for the repeal of the Acts of-1844 and 1845 !

The argamenta in support of the resolutions were anost oonvincitig to the Glasgow Chamber , iand not , at all contmdictory to the nnnds of tliat enlightened assembly . Mr . jBucuanan had never heard of overtrading—it was all new to him . "No doubt late disclosures had shown that various parties had

Nepct > he undertook to brmg in the old King , -with his -sultaniij which he accoaiplished , sparing the lives of botlij and his tliird acuievenaent seems to iavebeen the capture of the three Imperial Princes . He had still anly his hundred Sowars , and the Princes had token refuge within the tomb of the Emperor

Here the two sons and the grandson of the Mogul were ensconced , and about Ahem , swavmed an immense armed rabUle . Hodson compelled the Pa-hicesto come out , and sent them forward under escort ; while , with alow mea \ , he otttored the tomb , * and bearded the , huge multitude of rvtftlans . Then followed the incidents to which we would draw particular attention .

    iOtertakingthc retinue of to three "prisoners , he *& % . & < confronted by a prodigious concourse ^ of people , bristling with pvras , 'who turned against 'him . ' Here was a British captain , with one hundred Intlian troopers , in the midst of a liost , with three ringleaders of the rebellion iu . his presence . His determination was the work of a naomont . "With a coolness that awed the hostile . mob , he advanced close to the Princes , commanded silence , recounted tlicir crimes , and asked what punishment was < lwe to them .
