English coal-getting is accompanied by the ! annual slaughter of from 1100 to 1200 men and boys. As many as U,.0QQ,000 of Hindus now speak and write English, The poets and men of letters give a total of 189,518 persons. At the half-yearly court of the Bank of England recently, Mr Gibbs, the Governor, explained why the Treasury had not applied to the Bank to advance the four millions for the Suez Canal purchase. There was, he said, an Act in existence prohibiting them from lending the Government any money except in so far as this had been authorised by Parliament ; and the Bank, according to this statute, would be liable for three times the amount of the loan if it transgressed the Act, which also further stated that of that fine the informer was to have one-half. Therefore, anybody who was fortunate enough to hit upon the fact that the Bank had made such a loan would have received at the expense of the Bank six million sterling.
