Early in the twelfth centary o fraternity of monks, under the namo of The Black Canons of St. Bartholomow, established their Priory in that part of Longon which now goes under, tho desig- pation of Smithfield, but which was then known s Smooihfield—as the term campus planus, 80 often found in the old records of the monaste) _very-cloanly attests. Ths chief founder seems to have boen Rabere, compamon of Hereward, the last of the Saxous in the'defense of the Isle of Ely agsinst William the Norman * and the Ring's minstrel.” The choir and transept of the church of this Priory still stand, and are incorporated 1uto the Church of St. Bartholomew the Great, which now ‘occupies the site of its venereble predecessor. Smithficld has in its day been famous for its jousts, its tournsments, excontions, and born- ings. Here Wallace and the gentle Mortimer were executed. Here Bir Willism Walworth, the Aayor of London, slew Wat Tyler at the head of his multitnde. The stake at whick 5o many of the martyrs died in Bloody Quoen Mary's day was fixed immediately opposite the church just mentioned. Among tho suffercrs wes the famous John Rogers, whose *‘nine children and one at the breast” were present at the sad event which deprived them of a father, but which led fo the peopling New Eopgland with ~ o any of s descendants. Traces of these eruclties, perpetrated in the name of tho holy Christian religion, were discovered so lately as the year 1849, when excavations ware ‘being made foranew sewer immediately opposite the en- trance of the church. Iere the workmen 1aid open & mess of unhewr stoneg, blackencd as if by fire, and covered with ashes, and bumanbozes cherred and partially consumed, many of which Jatter were carried sway and preserved as relics of L blind bigotry of the day.

The Loan Market Growing Dull, with the Decrease of Building. More attention is now given to the improve- ment than to the sale of real estate. Very fow owhers find it necessary to urge salee, and, io- deed, they conld not accomplish much chould they attempt it. When thero is a limitod de- mand—or scarcely any demand st all for real or other property-holders must generally accept prices very far below its real value if they part rith1t. Hence salea are meagre bothin number sud tn valge, and owners aro at work in overy part of the city in putting up all kinds of build- inge, and yet thero mow seems to be not much of a surpins.

As even- ing aavanced, Lo did not return, and hig paronts beeamo snkious, and went in search of him, but feiled to find bum.

When Mr. Scovill roturned, his wife related, the incident to him and he felt surprised, as Jack had always maiotsined & character for strict bonesty. Ho in turn related the incident to Mr. Gerrold, and that gentleman felt pretty certain that the dog had some idea of whero tho child was, and now hopo was iaspired in_ the family, and they waited 1mpatiently for thodoa’s return. Finally he did return in about an hour, and ex- hibited the same uncasiness that was romarked before. After trying various ruses to atiract the family to follow him to the wood, he finally started in that direction withmore than half* of tho residents of the hamlet after him. He lad them through many windiog paths. uotil at last they reached & chestnut grovo, aud: there thev found tho boy lying under & treo with his left leg broken. The boy himself told the fscts of the caso to our reporter substantially as follows : Ho was npou the tree, and ghaking it with all his might to shate off the nute, lost hishold and tumbled down, his leg striking tha ground with force.

The case was that of Sher- wood vs. The Meadow Valley Mining Company, and tho Court held thst a cortificate of stock stolen and passed into the hands of a bona fide purchaser never- theloes conveys no title to tho latter, and that the own- er of elock @oes mot loee lia title when e loses the ceftificate or it I3 stolen from him. Tho Ban Francis- co Dulletin remarks: “ILwill be secn that, in effect, {uis decision renders tha mode of dealing in stocks ‘common in this city exiremely hazardous, for it makes 1t incumbent on the purchaser to not ouly satisfy him- scif taet the seller bas a zood title to the eertificates tendered, but tlso to know that the stock stands on the books of the company in the name of the seller; in other words, it Tequires that cvers transfer of stock £luall be made on the books of the corporation.” It is notstated whether tho docision rests on the statute law of California, or on tho wider principles of tho common law, The latter certeinly would support sucha decision, The doctrine of the low that evory wrong ks its remedy csn bo upheld only by an exten- siveapplicstion of the principle that 3 thief can cox- veyzo title tothe thingstolon. There ars political applications, o8 well us duangial ones, of this pzin- ciple. The possession of stocia should be taken less read- iy then it is to indicate o Tightful ownership. If the Qeclsion of the Supremo Court of California sitould o repeated in other States, the profession of robbing banks and privets vaulls would becoma less profitable. CIIANGLS PROTOSED IN THE DANKRUFT LAW. Pho Executivo Committee of tho Philadelphia Board of Trede, who havo had under consideration & propo- sition to memorialize Qongress for an amendmon 10 {ho existing Bankrupt law, have submitted a report of " their exsmination into its practical workinge. Such _canses a8 bavo becn decmed unequitable were sna- Iyzed, and the roport on the subJect has bech submit- ted fo the National Board, to bo acted mpon by that body. Tho mzin object of titis action is to show the alleged injustice of tug law a3 sdministered fn_many cases. For instance, under rocent ruling, a debtor is allowed to give a sccrct preference to one creditor, by which his debt is free from the loss that naturally oc- curin thesettlement of nfcirs when thrown into bank- rupicy. Tho favared creditor contintes to sell goods to tho Aebior, whom hs knows to bs insolvent, receiv- ing security for his goods and leaving for the remain- ing creditor such sesots only as remain after his clatm hias been satisfied. Tholaw as it stands, it is safd, doos mot prevent in any way such transactions oa this, ‘and henco the acton of fhe Thiladelphis Board. What they are endeavoring to obtain is the establish- ment of a really uniform eystem of baniruptey, by hich equal justico yill be dono, Loth o dabtor snd creditor, and which will not admit of Qiscrimination or allow any opgortunity for socret proference. THE DANE OF ESGLAND AND THE LOAN MARRET. . Itisa number of years since the Bank of England los: its power of controliing the rate of interest on iie street. Tor a long timo after its cstablishment it absolutely controllad the ratesof discount in Lambard stroct, but its rate has now little power toaffect the general rate. The London Témes of Nov. 5, in its money article, has theso intoresting Temarks on the ‘position of the Bank: The difforence which at present exista between the Bank rate and_the market rato is due obviously to ihere Leing s very few bills, 3 circumtance which is confirmed by tho fact that the Lills muturing to-day- thedth of the month—hava boen much fewer than fusucl In such circumstancss, tho powes of the Bk to arrest, if necesssry, o bullicn drain s comparative- Iy nothing to whst it would be if the Bank's portfolio contained an amount of discounted Lills, which would iF it o direct commend over the market by simely holding what mioney came in from day £ day. If tho Bank's ©turn_gver " weso from £2X,000 0 £3£0,000 % day, there would bo no necossity for theso frequent pledgings of securities, The faet seems {0 be that . tha long stagnation in the discount market which fol- Jowed the colispse of 1836 lod to_tho investment of large sums of money which had to that conval- sion been regularly cmployed in the discount of mer- cantils paper, and there it has boen ever since, There {8 10w too miich money permancntly invested to ena- ble the Bank fo influence the foreign exchanges through its diacount business, which, as our systam at present exiets, throws everything out of goar directly ‘movements of kullioa of any magnitude occur. Lesides giving to (hose movoments undue importance, for the /a reason that, so Joug as it 18 cvident that tho Bank 10 longer possesées its ol id commend over the ‘market, evesy considerable export of ballion carcies greater eignificance with it than 1t formorly did. THE CLEARINGS of the week aro reported by the Clesring House as fol- lows: y piy to thu doctor are, not tho Prime Minister, ths Bishops, Judges. and hard-working profes- sional men, but marchants and efockbrokers re- tired from business, Government clerks who work from 10 to 4, women whose domestic duties and bad servants aro driviug them to thy young ladies whose visits to the village-achool ol Bunday performanco on the organ are under- mining their health, and 8o on. In short, in my experience I sce more ailments arigo from want of occupation than from overwork, &nd, taking the various kinds of nervous and dyspeptic ail- ‘ments which e are constantly reating, I find at least six due to idleness to one from gverwork. ptssiE R sl e Indoor Safety in a Thunderstor _Mr. Latimer Clatk, the eminent electri gives the following hints as to the safest position people can_occupy during o thunderstorm. A person reclining on a sofa or bed ata distance from all the walls of the room could ecarcely suffer injury, even in 8 houso struck by light- ring ; but & most absolute security is obtained by lying on an iron or brass bedstead of the form known s the Arsbion bedstesd, in which the head is surmounted by sn iron erection sup~ porting the cartains. A person lying or sleeping ‘within such a bedstead conld not possibly receive any direct injury from Jigbtning, even if ‘the house were to be demolished, a8 his bedstead forms the most pte lightning-protector which could well be devised. A wooden bed- stead, placed against the wall, does not afford any specisl gecarity.
