We see by a statement published in the London journals thet the working expenditure of the rail- roads of Great Britain is forty-nine per cent upon the total receipts.

Are the public ignorant, or what is the matter? ° We observe that application has been made to the New Jersey Legislatare for a charter for a bank at Bloomfield, with $100,000 capital, and for a bank at Westfield, Union county. So it seems that some bankers prefer special charters from the States to the national system offered by Con- gress.
