following adventures of a young female the subject uf the present tirade lire so trulv genuine and so extraordinarily marvellous that we cannot refrain from recommending the persnaloftheintothe attention ol our readers an incorrect statement of the facta appeared in the papers during the early pari of the week hut the anucxt d account beine publicly adduced before the lord mayor leaves no doulit as to its authenticity his lordship having read the statement directed mlean the inspector of the city police lo make inquiry into llie circum stances in order that if the girl required assistance it might he rendered to her without subjecting her to annoyance lean thought that the best ill nig lie could do after having iieurd the story ef the girl from her own lips was to bring her to the mansion house and introduce her to his lordship he ac cordingly appeared before the lord mayor accom panied by the girl the captain of the vessel in which he came to london and several gentlemen ft ho felt an interest- m the remarkable details of the fact captain mentirtf of the sarah from belfast sta ted that he met the girl whose name is anne jane thornto to st andrews in north america she was dressed in sailor clothes and had all the ap pearance of having been brought up to that employ ment he engaged her at nine dollars n month to act as cook and steward and considered that she was what she seemed to be until a few days before the arrifnl of the vessel in th part london it ap peared that some of ilifi crew had suspected her be fore stie was seen washing in her berth from the cir cumstance of her having repeatedly refused to drink grog the lord mayor it has been reported that she was ill treated by liercapiainand the crew 1 wish particularly to be infoihiid upon that point captain meiitire said that he would call upon the girl to say whether he had not uniformly treated hr with kindness and whether when her sex was gliwitwrwl hn rtii uf fci iimm and care was not increased the girl declared that nptain m entire had acted towards htr with humanity and luri desired her to complain to him if any of the crew treated her harsh ly she had been in the couree of the voyage wrack by some of he sailors because she could nut work as hard as they did a thing she found it dif ficult to do in a gale ofwtitd hiu ahc did not tell the captain as she determined tu endure as much as pos sible without grumbling the lord mayor is it possible that this mere girl for she cannot be more than sixteen or seven teen years of age performed the duties of a sea man captain mrufirc is it my lord she per formed them to admiration she would run up to hand the topgalhuil sail m any sort of weather and we had a severe passage poor girl she had a hard time of it she suffered greatly from the wet but she bore ij excellently and was a capital seaman the lord mayor- is the account of the romantic pursuit of the person she was said o he attached to correct i is it true that she went lo america after the captain who was mid tube hcrweethearr mlean said that the aceotmt she had given to htm corresponded with that which appeared before the public but she would herself mention the partic ulars captain meitirc stated that he had no doubt of the correctness of her statement she was not given to loquacitv on the c mtrary she did the di- ty of a seaman without a murmur and had infinite ly a better use of her hands than of her tongue this description of the female sailor seemed to be accurate her hand appeared as if they were co vered with thick brown leather gloves and it was by repeated questioning lite lord mayor got from her the facts of which the following is the substance anne jane thornton stated that she is in the sev enteenth year of her age her lather who is now a widower took her and the rest of his family from floucestershire where she was born to donegal tofkjitfic wiai cuieuttl ik tlu ftwhtfl l stoics in that part of ireland nnd fugood circum stance- aud was always aflecttonatc to her she regretted that she had quitteu her home for her de parture of which she had given no previous notice to her father must have caused him many a sorrow ful hour when she was only thirteen years old fancied the sailors dress well knowing that by as suining the appearance of one you pledged yourself to krlorm such terrible duties the girl i cntiidm think of any other way and did the duties os well nft i could underwent a good deal i ravelled from east port in inorih america m st andrew hy myself a distance o seventy miles through the woods i walked all the way the lord mayor and without susta injury i the girl i received none i knew the a clothes would carry me through safe aud at st an drews i met capt meniire capt meiitire it was hut a few day ago i learned that we had a girl on hoard i was the last person in the vessel who was informed of the fact and i could scarcely credit the mute when he told me ofit i can bear testimony of the extraordina ry propriety of her conduct find j ask her again whether 1 have not acted properly towards her and particularly from the moment i became acquainted with the secret which she was so anxious not to have disclosed the girl said that she was in gratitude bound to acknowledge the kindness and humanity of the captain who instantly paid her all that wad due to her the lord mayor i shall give directions that you be taken care of until i hear from your father to whom 1 shall write tonight you have done him great wrong by abandoning him under any pretence but you have suffered bitterly for your disobedience and i trust that you will by your future attention and care prove to him that jour filial alfecton is as strong as your courage in such circumstances of danger and toil as you have been placed in has been so immeasurably beyond that of the rest of your sex in modern days many gentlemen to whom i have spoken on the subject looked upon the case as the coinage of the brain but the investigation has if possible added to the interest of the story captain meutire mentioned lo the lord mayor that the proprietor of the coopers arms in lower thames steer where the young woman was lodged is a respectable person in whose house she would be properly taken care of and his lordship desired that she should remain in that asylum the git i then retired after having gratefully ac knowledged her thanks fur the humanity and solici tude of the lord mayor she is of low stature and her limbs are very fumly knit together her face is comely her eyes are dark and brilliant and her teeth are extremely white the hardships to which she has been so long exposed have completely tan ned her face anri neck but the sailor who acciden tally discovered hcrsex declares that the natural

with a favorable aspect that the idea of a prlvato bank with so large a capital as half a million of money will jar against tho prejudices of our readers but let thsoi calmly consider tho subject and they will bocofno fully persuaded that the advantage is entirely on the part of the public in ptivato banks like other private commercial undertakings each shareholder being a partner is not only liable for the amount of the stock he may hold but to ihe whole eitent of his private fortune while if through culpability or negligence either of ihe two chartered banks choose toclose its doors the public may wbiailoin rain tor the value ofthe notes it has out the only security being in tho honor integrity and prudence of llio directors chartered rights therefore arc not ao advantage lo the public but to the banks in great britain and ireland private banks arc established in almost every county and almost ovary town aod although fuur chartered companies arc to be found in thosa kingdoms still no preference to their notes is ever exhibited unless by travellers or for the purpose ofsending to a distance in eng hod owing to the monopoly of the lhnk of england no more than six partners arc permitted to associate together for banking purposes and yet with this limited number it is rare indeed that d failure is heard of in scotland where no limit is placed to he number of partners
