The British Bank.
especially notices that there is a class of securities not usually taken by London bankers , to which this bank will direct attention . Notwithstanding that the joint stock banks have supplied desiderata long wanting , yet there is cloubtless an enormous amount of capital locked up in various ways , and which is not even marketable as securities . This prevents many highly respectable firms from profiting by advances in aid of spirit and enterpriseand which capital would become available
, by a banking account on the Scotch system . To the industrious tradesman of limited capital , the proposed plan of cash credit accounts upon unexceptionable security , presents so obvious an advantage , that it may not be hazarding too much to say , that if the system be carried out , we may anticipate that the forcing of sales , and the fraudulent transfer of small stocks into the hands of grasping monopolists , will altogether cease . There are other manifest improvements offered in the prospectus , which details
a very rational statement of the result of the operation in Scotland ; and the declaration that if the bank be not incorporated , the deposits will be returned in FULL to the subscribers , will not be without its effect on public confidence . It looks well .

The Symbol of Glory . The prospectus of the crowning labour of the Rev . Bro . Dr . Oliver is now in circulation ; it shadows forth in the meaning of truth the advent of a magnificent combination , and is , we believe , intended to be , in the author ' s view of the subject , the very cape-stone of exemplification of the practice of Masonry , with the great theory of the future . Dr . Oliver ' s quotation from Walter Scott is telling— " Old men may be
permitted to speak long , because in the common course of nature , they cannot have long to speak . " The Golden Remains . The fourth volume of this extraordinary compilation from the works of masonic worthies is now in the press ; and on its completion , which will be very shortly announced ( according to the advertisement ) , the fifth volume , which is considerably advanced , will be immediately put into the printer ' s hands .
The Circular ofthe Grand Lodge of England . Edited by the Right Hon . the Earl of Zetland . Published by W . H . White . '' Honour to whom honour is due , " is admitted to be but fair , and as the Earl of Zetland acknowledges himself to be the responsible editor of the " Circular , " he is entitled to all the merit thereof , no one ought to share with him the slightest portion , not even Bro . Denison , the Grand Reporterbecause when he delivers in his reportthe matter is settled
, , , as far as he is concerned it is in unfait accompli . The next point is to condense , suppress , and dovetail , within a sheet of foolscap , the transactions of the Grand Lodge of England for a period of three months . This to many may seem easy ; but that it is not easy is proved by the evidence of labour , toil , reflection , consideration , and study , that is so clearly brought into view . It can then scarcely be wondered
