An ingenious robbery was lately committed in Paris. A man called at the residence of a master builder, and told his wife that her husband had fallen from a scaffold, and that if she wished to see him alive she must make haste. She rushed off at once, and found him not only alive, but well ; but in the meantime, the house had been robbed of jewellery and plate. The Bank of England will be 185 years old on the 27th of the coming July, having received its charter of incorporation at that date, and having been projected by William Paterson, a Scotchman. Constituted as a joint stock company, with a capital of £1,200,000, the whole sum was lent at interest to the Government of William and Mary, then much embarrassed. At the outset it was a servant of the State, and has ever since continued such more or less, The charter, granted at first for 11 years, has been granted from time to time renewed, the last renewal, subject to modification or revocation, having been in 1844. For a while the business was done in one room ; now the bapk occupies, as everybody knows, a large building in Threadneedle-street, and employs some 800 men. Nothing less than a£s note is ever isaued, and no note is ever issued a second time. The average amount of notes in circulation is £25,000,000. New Zealand of the past and New Zealand of the present are two very different things.
