TO OUR A DOUBLE NUMBER of the EXPRESS will be published ea SATURDAYS se usual, during the Parliamentary ream DIMING wren years gold bee steadily flowed into Europe from California and Australia, but still men sok, " What will be its Abets?" In 1852 replies to this question wen freely volunteered. We were told that, following the known laws of supply and demand, the greater abundance of gold would diminish its value t slam it was the general measure of that of other commodities. The increased supply would destroy the balance which existed between them ; the lade: would become relatively mom scarce, and cransequently would represent a grater quantity Cl gold. In other wade, prices would rim. Annuitants, and all persons having a fixed in come, were startled by the announcement that their revenues would no longer prorate them As lame of obtaining the - necioaaries and lasorise to which they had been accustomed, and that their msneelip would so longer be worth twenty AMIN,. Ogitalins were informed that the rate of interest, whisk was then only from 2 to tj per sent., would &win& sway from the super ablecienee of &male fends in the shape of gold. Sinn IMO geld be the value of above 118,000,000 E has knee keperteil t bat the bullion in the bends of the Hate of liglend and Frames, which amended to 33,3141,00111. is the beginning of 1831, was only 17,8310110 E bi the implanter of 1857, and dic rate of Wend kr nearly two years ham been camp tiemilly lash, varying between 41 and 7 per cent. The qet 'lmlay article of primary necessity has deaden Wronged t bat this rise in prices may be aineinted our by ether eirennetances, totally inde pendent of the geld quietism, se that the proposal intim of IN!, then* tannoled en principles whose esereelsen is the Askant no ere will be inclined to dipate,bars net bow NNW. Int althea& seeming &enteelid swims. the prophets of that day emitted inmtheirealeeletiens various elements which woad netennily medity their casehekne, and materially retard, to say the lent, the abets they anticipated from the influx of gold. The basis of their theory was, that a larger amount of geld would be essk ing to exchange itself the ether easenseditiee, and that consequently the latter wield necessarily rise in prise from the seaweed demo!. But, on the other hand, it was highly probable that production would be stimulated, and that more proctor* would therefore be seeking to exchange itself sgaiast gold, tending consequently to restore the relative baker* between the two. It should also be borne in mind that any perma nent increase in the demand, stimulating produc tion, has alas the effect of stimulating competition and invention among produoers, inciting them to owlse meant of bringing their commodities to market at • lower cost. The cotton trade affords a familiar illustration of this fact ; the constantly increasing demand having been accompanied by a remarkable redoetion in the cost to the consumer. The proposition that the great influx of loanable capital would depreciate its value, or in other words, ➢ower the general rate of interest, rested on the as sumption that there would be no extension of the bid for its employment, and no new ebrinels for its demand. Now, the precious neetals represent the only form in which kenable capital is universally available. The ex tension of the facilities for intercommunication have rendered its transmission both safer and more speedy, and have tended largely to diftee it more equally ' throughout the world, and consequently to diminish to a considerable extent the former differences in its value in various localities. But those differences are not obliterated, and capital has naturally a dis position to seek those markets where it commands the highest rate of interest. Consequently, the influx of capital in the form of the precious metals set free an extra amount for employment In sew enterprises ; and the capital of England sod France was called into requisition for the emmdraetioa of works of public utility in countries which bad hitherto been unable to undertake them; each as Austria and other parts of Germany, Spain, Italy, and Northern Europe. From this new demand for loan able capital, it followed that no superabundance was felt in the countries to which the gold from the new amen of supply was chiefly directed, and no re linden of the rate of interest ensued ; in fact, the 61111101 for lseashisespital bas exceeded the supply 11111kielibilk 11111111 ii SIP IMO of interest, in other Nib Ag gilapaid kr Its re.

Nevertheless, although the mode in whisk*, result may be effected is not altogether that widens esti cipated, the gold discoveries must neeereadrnrd to enhance prices. We have shown that the met di rect result has been to increase the among all leen able capital, and that the surplus of that easl.l.visich would otherwise have lowered the rate et birtest in its ordinary fields of employgont, has *pig elsewhere. It has thus been employed in tire works, which have developed the latent d those new localities, and opened up fresh eseemed wealth to their inhabitants. It has, therelhee. eat only created a new class of producers, but a WSW AMP of consumers ; it has added to the general weskit if the world. Now, you cannot increase the volts we spending powers of a community without creating new wants among its members. You raise their standard of living, and introduce more competitors for the luxuries and conveniences of life. You reign the condition of the labourer, and with it the peke of his labour; and though the process may be slower in some instances than in others, it is always going on. Hence it is that, although in seek INNS Mali el 'cites, which we have quoted, the bummed 110 seal aseempanied by a diminished eat, new male w elartantly created, luxuries become amemmisa, and the art et living becomes as a whole Bat this in itself site hem being an evil. It is a amen Saver to that a country in which mid me ameihni e r e ssewearies of life are at a low peke. b a steep einetry to inhabit.

The difference between the value of money compared with commo dities in the days of ELIZABETH and in the present time is far less than the difference between what arc considered neennaries by a tradesman of moderate mains in our day and what were looked upon in that light by the gentry in the time of "good Queen Base."

Addreee of the " Italian Emancipation Fund" committee to the electors of the United Kingdom. Moe, 22, Sloane-street, March 24. You are about to exercise the moat important function of citizenship in choosing your representatives. On what grounds will you select them P This is the gum don of the day. An attempt is being made to solve this quostion upon merely personal and party grounds. Shall Palmerston or Derby lead the ins or outs ? Shall we submit to be thus dragged at the heels of party leaders, and made to about round any Sag they choose to hoist P Let us choose our own pound, and those who wish to lead mast seek us there. Our concern is with the akin and the honesty of tho men we send to parliament, rather than with the minister who roust obey their will. Others will speak to you on the meat home questions of the day. We would not undervalue them ; but we call upon you not to forget in the struggle at home that our interests, our honour, and even our security, are involved in the groat European struggle for freedom. Pledge your candidates against a system of secret diplo macy, which ignores our representative institutions, and sob dilutes the irresponsible will of the minister for the free judgment of the nation ; which has made British foreign policy a bye•word and a aeons amongst the nations; which has made free England the upholder of despotism; which has made protestant England the patron of Popery in Italy, by siding to restore, and intriguing to maintain, the Pope at Rome; which, while the people of England were praying for Poland and Hungary, arranged that they should be crushed. . _ One more hint, end we have done. When the Italian national flag once more goats over Rome, shall England recognise the rights of the Italian race, and salute their flag as she did that of the French republic in 1848, and the Im perial flag in 1852, or shall she once more lend her moral force on the side of despotism 1 , Electors, the solution of this tremendous question may lie —probably will lie—with the neat parliament; therefore, at this moment, it lies with you. Pledge your candidates to support no minister who shall dare to act on the side of the depots when the great day of the struggle shall arrive. JANIS STANoFELD, Hon. See. THE BOURBONS. I mentioned some time since (writes the Paris correspondent of the Amu) that difiteenoes had arisen between the representatives of the two trenches of the Bourbons shoat the non-rscognition of the tricolor flag by the Count de Chenbeed. In the month of August last s letter was withered by the Duke of Ne mours to me of the lading members of the Fetsionist party In Paris, in which he announced that, es an understanding could not be come to, the Princes of Orleans considered themselves as released from every obli gation they might have oontracted. The Fusionist leader kept the contents of the letter to himself till the mouth of No vember last, when he communicated them to • well-known Le- I 'Wrest and requested him to bring them to the knowledge of the Count de Chambord. Two muteness only were en. traded and sent to the lead of the house of Bourbon. The Count was hurt at a communication being made to him in such a form; he replied that he regarded it as eon sense, and that he should still confider that matters revalued an changed. In the meantime occurred the death of M. do Salvandy, which gave occasion for the letter of the Count de Chambord to M. Pagan, in which, it may be remembered, the assurance was repeated of the political , reconciliation remaining established between the elder end younger branch of the Bourbon family. The Orleaniets were thrown into great confusion at the protest of the Duke of Nemours, and they bunted that a categorical explanation should be demanded. The Duke of Nemours consequently addressed a letter to the Count de Chambord, to which the Count replied. The Duke's letter lam not acquainted with ; but a friend has sent me from London a copy of the reply of the Count de Chambord. It is as follows "My Cousin,—l have read your letter with deep regret and sorrow. I ens pleased to think that we had under stood in the same manner the reconciliation effected be tween um now four years ago. That re-establiahment of oar political and family relations, while it wee gratifying to my heart, seemed to my judgment a pledge of salvation for France, and ono of the Armen guarantees of her future. In order tojostify my hope, in coder to render our union at the same time efllcacious and worthy, there were want ing only two things which yet were my easy—to remain, on your part as on mine, equally convinced of the necessity of our union, and to maintain a ontildroce equally solid in our mutual sentiments. I have not doubted your de votedness to the principle of monarchy; and no one can call in question my attachment to Francs, my respect for her gay, my good wishes for her greatness and her liberty and my sympathetic gratitude is given to those who lave at every period done for her what is good, useful, and great. I have never ceased to think, I have always said, I have always believed and still believe in the impropriety of regulating, before the moment comes when Providence shall impose on us that duty, questions which the interests and the wishes of our country shall resolve. It le not while we are Sir from France, and without France, that people an dispose of her. Ido not the Ina preserve my profound con viction that it is in the union of our house, and in the common &done of all the defenders of monarchical institutions, that France will be one day saved ; and her sad dest trials have not weakened my faith. " Hamm.' The Fusionists me exceedingly irritated at such cone "oedemas between the families, and the quarrel about a white or a porn-coloured piece of silk or bunting ia some thing ludicrous, and shows the hollowness of the pretended teronciliation between the families. The princes seem to forget that the bear has first to be caught before one can sell his skin. ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY.

RECALL OF THE SARDINIAN AMBAS- SADOR FROM VIENNA. TURIN, MAR( It 24. The official journal announces that the Sardinian legation has been recalled from Turin. The French Ambassador has consented to protect the interests of Sardinian subjects. THE EVACUATION OF TILE PRINCIPALI- TIES. A Vienna letter, of the 22nd, states that General Count Marciani, commanding the Austrian troops in Wallachia, had on the 21st paid an official farewell visit to the authorities, who were to return it the next day. General Marciani was to leave Bucharest on the 23rd, with all his staff, for Giurgevo, where he will embark for Austria. Thus the evacua tion of the Principalities is, in all probability, now completely effected. THE EAST. MARSEILLES, It PSDAY The Cydnus has arrived with news from Constan tinople of the 16th. Sir H. Bulwer had left the Turkish capital for Giurgevo, in the Danubian Principalities. The fleet of Admiral Lyons was still in the Bos phorus. Great damage had been caused by tem pests in the Black Sea. Eleven veasela from Ajaccio alone have been wrecked near Varna. The 350 Poles, Hungarians, and Hustian deserters, carried to the coasts of Circassia by the Kangaroo, were received on their disembarkation by a great number of the notable chiefs. The Jou►nal de Co:ulantinoplc states that a civil war has commenced between the north-west and the south-west populations of Persia, and that the troops destined for Affghaniatan had mutinied. The rebels of Kurdistan hold the governor of the province, who is the Shah's uncle, in captivity, and the irregular cavalry were committing acts of brigandage. SICILY. The Post publishes the following despatch in a third edition : "PALERMO, MARCH 15. "The state of things here is very bad. The King of Naples has ordered political prisoners to be tortured with an instrument invented by the Com missary Baiona. "People are hiding themselves in the mountains. " The island is agitated." ATTEMPTED ESCAPE OF ROMAN POLI TICAL PRISONERS.-FATAL CONFLICT WITH THE SOLDIERY. (ram( oca OW? ROME, MAUCH 19. The most exciting piece of intelligence that has presented itself since my last letter is an attempt on the part of the prisoners confined in the Castle of PaMemo, chiefly for political offences, to escape, ri et arras, from that place of durance vile. The attempt took place about four o'clock in the after noon of Saturday last, and carious accounts of the occurrence were in circulation in the cafes and saloons of Itome on the following day, but the offi cial narration appeared on Monday evening with , more exact details. . It appears that the prisoners had chosen the hour allotted to taking exercise in the court as most pro- pitious for their attempt. Instead of returning into their respective places of confinement, some of them succeeded in forcing the doors lead ing to the piazza d'arnii, whilst others broke through the ceiling of the risen wards and got upon Unroof of the barracks and infirmary. The first detachment, making use of the tools with which they are allowed to work at certain hours, broke open the door of the head gaoler's room, to get the keys from him. Those on the roof of the barracks nailed the roof to gain admission into the building, and seize the soldiers' arms, whilst the other prisoners who had got on the roof of the in firmary endeavoured to keep the troops from entering the barracks by pelting them with tiles. Some of the rioters finally forced the door of the great tower of the fortress, whence they molested the soldiers with showers of stones and bricks. In this state of things, having in vain summoned the prisoners to return to their places of con finement, the commanders of the garrison of chasseors and of the brigade of gendarmes gave their men orders to fire, when, brick bats being no match for muskets, the mutineers had to submit, with the loss of four of their number killed and five wounded. One of the soldiers and • keeper were wounded also. The official report does not give the names of the killed, but merely states that they were persons who had been condemned foe wounding or robbing, " through party spirit," the damning clause which enhances threefold the heinousness of every crime in this country whenever connected in any way with political motives. The prisoners in the Castle of Fenian° are all con sidered as political offenders, and amount in number to several hundreds, confined in separate cells, each containing twelve individuals, who are only allowed to see the inmates of other cells during the hour allotted to exercise. The plan of operations appears to have been concocted during these occasional meetings. ENGLISH VESSELS AT JAPAN. It may be remembered that some short time back a journal of Amsterdam announced that two English Teasels had forced the port of Nagasaki, in Japan. The Debuts contains the following details of the incident: A circumstance of considerable interest, which lately took place, afforded the Emperor of Japan an occasion to declare officially in favour of the execution of the treaties some time back concluded with several European powers. On the 11th December last two English vessels of war, after having visited the ports of Sinioda and Ilakedadi, appeared before Nagasaki, but were refused admission by the monbrin acting as governor. The two captains, bow. evonnaving in their right, penetrated into the port, and andhared within gunshot of the land-batteries, which re mind without any act of hostility against them. The next oy dry repaired with a numerous escort to the residence of ifs moiler* who refused to receive them, but who, at the MOB tine, sent word that, if they had any complaint to make, he would forward their representations to the imperial court, and transmit to them the reply. This ho did mat scrupulously. The two captains wrote to Yoddo to claim the tight of remaining some time at Nagasaki, in conformity with the treaty, signed in 1845, between England and Japan. In about a fortnight afterwards the Emperor's answer arrived, announcing that hie Majesty, being desirous of executing the obligations which be had entered into, had given orders for the three porta of Simodni Hakodadi, and Nagasaki to ho open to the vessels of France, Russia, England, and the United States. Such vessels were to be permitted to refit there, to tale in provisions, and to trade ton certain defined extent. The Emperor, in order to carry out that determination, limited an edict which was without delay posted up in every part of hie dominions. The seamen belonging to the vencla admitted to enjoy the benefits of the treaty, are not to penetrate into the interior of the country. Should they contravene that provision, they are to be subjected to an iniprieonmetit, the length of which will be every time fixed by the Emperor, secordMS to the circumstances of the case. "The fishery on the coast of Iceland," says the A utorite of Dunkirk, "will this year be carried on to a larger extent than ha yet been done. It is expected that at least 110 large smack' will leave this port alone about the Ist of April. Others are fitting out at Boulogne and Graves linen for the same destination, although not m 80 great a number." IP
