NI A PEEP INTO TUC BANE OP ENtILAND.—The Bank of England must be seen on the inside as well as out, and to go into the interior of this remarkable building, to observe the operations of an institution that exerts more moral and political power than any sovereign in Europe, you must have an order from the Governor of the Bank. The building occupies an irregular area of eight acres of ground—an edifice of no architectural beauty, with not one window towards the street, being lighted altogether from the roof of the enclosed area. I was led, on presenting my card of admis sion, into a private room, where, after a delay of a few moments, a messenger came and conducted me through the mighty and myste rious building_ Down we went into a room where the notes of the bank, received the day before, were now examined, compared with the entries in the book, and stowed away. The Bank of England never issues the same note a second time. It receives in the ordinary course of business, ahout £300,000. or $4,000,000, dai'•y in notes ; these arc put up in parcels according to their denominations, boxed up with the date of their reception, and are kept ten years, at the expiration of which period they are taken out and ground up in the mill, which I saw running, and made again into paper. If, in these ten years, any dispute in business, or law suit, should arise, concerning the payment of any note, the bank can produce the identical b ill. To meet the demand for notes so constantly used up, the bank has its own paper-makers, its own printers, its own engravers, all at work under the same roof, and it even makes the machinery by which mast of its work is done. A complicated but beautiful machine is a regis ter, extending from the printing office to the banking offices, which marks every sheet of paper that is struck off from the press, so that the printers cannot manufacture a single sheet of blank notes that is not recorded in the bank. On the same principle of neatness, a shaft is made to pass from one apartment to another, connecting a. clock in sixteen business wings of the establishment, and regulating them with such precision that the whole of them are al ways pointing to the same second of time. In another room was a machine, exceedingly sim ple, for detecting light gold coin. A row of them is dropped one by one upon a spring scale. If the piece of gold was of the standard weight, the scale rose to a certain height, and the coin slid off upon one side of -the box if less than the standard, it rose a little higher, and the coin slid off upon the other side. I asked the weigher what was the average number of light coins that came into his hands, and strangely enough, he said it was ti question he was not allowed to answer. The next room I entered was that in which the notes are deposited which are ready for issue. "We have thirty-two millions of pounds sterling in this room," the officer remarked to me; " will you take a little of it ?" I to'd him it would be vastly agreeable, and he handed me a million sterling, which I received with many thanks for his liberality, but he insisted on my depositing it with him again, as it would hardly be safe to carry so much money into the street. I very much fear I shall never see that money again. In the vault k•eneath the door were a director and a chashier, counting bags of gold which men were pitching down to them, each bag containing a thousand pounds sterling, just from the mint. This world of money seemed to realize the fables of Eastern wealth, and gave me new and strong impres sions of the magnitude of the business done here, and the extent of the relations of this one institution to the commerce of the world. QUACKS A HUNDRED YEARS Aeo.--If our fore-fathers a hundred years ago could not boast of their mesmeric influences, or of table turning, or of spirit rapping, they were the victims of a marvelous list of quackeries of other deseriptionsi - whieh were, perhaps, more injurious in their effects. It was literally the age of quack medicines, and every possible disease was patent. There were "The original Balsam of Health," otherwise called "The Bal sam of Life," which is described as "the most admirable vulnerary in nature ;" the "Golden Nervous Cordial or Paralytic Drops," which was "the greatest preservative and restoror of health ever yet published," and had been "sent many years ago by Her Catholic Majesty to King James the First's consort;" "The Famous Sugar-plum Worms," the "Grand Elixir of Ease," which was a certain cure for the cholic, and "The much Need Ilypo Drops," which "infallibly cure melancholy in men or vapors in women." One "Doctor Toscano" declares himself able to find out and cure all diseases to which humanity is liable, adding in conclu sion, "I will forfeit one hundred guineas if anybody can prove to the contrary." Some of these medicines are put forward under the name of the celebrated Doctor John Hill, the great medical and literary quack of the age, such as "Essence of Water Dock," a safe remedy for scurvy ; and the "Elixir of Baridana," which was infallible against gout and rheumatism.— Those who needed the latter were encouraged by the information added to the advertisement, "The baridana (burdock) is a common innocent British plant." Dr. Hill's "Elixir" met. with a rival in a medicine against the same diseases by one Dr. Colley, who announced as "an ef fectual remedy" his "Antiarthritiek Wine," supposing perhaps that the very name of wine was enough to cure a play. patient. But all these inventions are thrown into the shade by the "Medicinal Arabian Quilt," "wherein," we are told, "is infused a salutary composi tion," consisting chiefly of "Eastern vegeta bles," and "by wrapping np in this quilt," sufferers under all sorts of diseases were to find nick relief. We learn from the same adver tisement that "the author also has invented a medicinal paper cap, for the constant wear of those who are vaporous, or subject to catch cold;'' and of this it is further stated, "like -wise it refreshes the memory of the studious, particularly those who apply constantly to their pen, and is so curiously contrived that gentle men (sic) may constantly wear them under their Wigs, or even ladies under their caps." A SNEEZE.—Lord Duudreary has created a great deal of amusement all over the country on account of the immense importance he puts upon a sneeze. It would seem from the follow ing chemical and other allusions that he has foundation for its importance, for Pliny says that to sneeze to the right was deemed fortu nate; to the left, and near a place of burial, the reverse. 4 Tiberius, otherwise a sour man, would perform this rite of blessing most punctually to others, and expect the same from others to himself. Aristotle has a problem; "Why snee zing from noon to midnight was good, but from night to noon unlucky." St. Austin tells us that the ancients were accustomed to go to bed again if they sneezed while they put on their shoes. When Themistocles sacrificed in his gal lery, before the battle of Xerxes, one of the as sistants upon the right hand sneezing, E ll _ phrantides, the soothsayer, presaged the vic tory of the Greeks and the overthrow of the Persians. When the-,Greeks were consulting concerning their. retreat in the time of Cyrus the Younger, •it chanced that one of them sneezed, at the noise, whereof the rest of the soldiers called upon Jupiter Soter. Brande -tells us that when the King of Mesopotamia sneezes; acclamation' siare made in all parts of ,his dominions, The,Siamese wish long life to persons sneezing. And the. Persians look upon sneezing ae a ;happy omen ; especially when re . petted often.-- ' *Rear OntOxittion, e Superior, aline snOW that has'fallent " winter would amount in depth to 14f :feet.
