Ha Ilwasse—alinies, 11%. Oa -..—. A OIL NA. LONDON, FRIDAY. Norman st ME foes of constitutionalism in Italy affect to be full of joy at the result of the recent elections in Piedmont. Between fifty and sixty nominees of the High Church party Dave been returned; while the ultra-Liberals count fifteen or sixteen representatives in the new Chamber. Each of the extreme sections claims a victory over the central party which supporta the Administration of M. CAVOI:EI, because in some few instances their candidates have been preferred to more cautious and undemonstrative compe titors. The people are getting tired, it is said, of the slow and steady pace of progress; and according to the degree of discontent they feel they vote, some for political engineers who would take off the break and go ahead at greater speed—others for men who would try to put back the train of events, or who, failing in that hope ful experiment, would rake out the fire and bring all to a standstill. .Ministers have two oppo sitions to encounter at the some time ; and though neither of them alone is numerically formidable, they may, when combined, prove strong enough to paralyse, if not to overthrow, the existing system of rule. Let us add that there are certain half-hearted adherents of moderation on whom these boaatings have a certain influence, and who, if they spoke out their nerveless thoughts, would probably be found to advocate timid and time-serving counsels. But there is another side of the picture. Far boss considering the prospects of constitutional government darkened, we, who from a distance watch dispassionately the changes to which it is in Pied. moat, as everywhere else, exposed, see only in 'nth fiectuatiosas of the moral atmosphere the natural and inevitable play of conflicting elements, by whose freshening influence Representative Rule can alone *moire real health and vigour. We know by long experience that this isso. Political institutions that are not able to stand the viciseitudes, often sudden and frequently unaccountable, of all kinds of weather, are worth little ; and it is not until they ►ave been exposed to the fickle and rough blasts of public feeling that the strength of their fibre can ~be tested or known. A new and but imperfectly tried system of government may to prayed for, fought for, even died for, as history tells, by many and wipe and gallant men, who, in the hope that it will eventually triumph, are ready to sacrifice themselves to the experiment. But the con viction in the everyday mind of a whole people that it has struck root too deeply and firmly to be eradi cated by any trick of arbitrary force, or any coup of treacherous ambition.—the fixed faith in the thing that practically invests it, above all factitious or legal sanctions, with authority and power,—this cannot be any otherwise created than by positive proof that it is able to withstand the trials to which it is exposed. It is the indiepearble discipline through which every human institutiaa meant to endure must pus on its way to maturity; and for the want of it there is no 'obstinate, no compensation. Did the alleged manifestation of reactionary tendencies in Piedmont therefore suggest no other considerations, these would go far, in oar judgment, to qualify any regret wherewith we might otherwise" be disposed to re gard them. The beet and noblest people that ever lived are incapable of knowing how dear their newly-bora liberties are to them until they have been made to feel that the existence of those liberties la in jeopardy. It is then that a country, like th e lately joyous and thoughtless mother of some stricken child, clutches her young free dom to her breast, and in affectionate fear for its safety upbraids herself silently with a thousand little acts of impatience or neglect. In detail theft faults, and the regrets they cause when danger threatens, are too common-place, too eumerous, and, for the most part, too intrinsi cally mall to be accurately appreciable. But they form in the aggregate, neeertheles, the elements of • regenerative force which is inestimable, and, when well directed, irresistible. Count CAVOUR has shown himself in many trying exigencies a wise and patriotic man ; we are confident that in the present instance ho will do so too. His plain policy and duty, as a consti tutional !Minister, is frankly to accept the modified position in which the late returns have placed the Chamber and the Kern. Above all things, it is im portant that the boasted strength of the Retrograde Opposition should be allowed to develop itself; that its views and aims, now that once more it begins to dream of power, should be made plain; that no technical or arbitrary impediment should be placed in its way—in a word, that the country should have full time to see and understand whither priesteraft and absolutist alliances would drag or drive it. This patient and defensive attitude on the part of the existing Government is all the more easy, because, in point of fact, they still possess • decided preponderance in the House of Representatives. Even on the supposition that fur the party purposes of the hour the radical friends of M. BROFTERIO should agree to join with those of the Ch arch headed by M. Dail.% MANG utt r t. the Minister ought still to be able to defeat the unr.atural coalition by votes as well as arguments. Making every allowance for the defection of waverer, and trimmers, the Ministerial majority cannot be set down at km than from twenty-five to thirty In a Chamber which contains two hundred mem bers. We are not sure that such a majority kept well in hand is not a safer and more reliable instrument of good than one three times as large. In England we have seen Administrations last for years and carry many useful measures with majori ties much smaller ; while we have beheld what were ' called strong Governments, that is, Governments counting their Parliamentary preponderance at one hundred strong, go to wreck in • far shorter time. The truth is, however, that the philosophy of arith metic in matters of this sort is a philosophy falsely so called. On ordinary occasions, and for ordinary questions, there is no other rule to go by ; so we agree to count noses and thereby abide. But when the spirit of a country is stirred within it—when the foundations of law and liberty are at stake—when a community is driven to ask itself whether it prefers to go forward with the growing day of civilisation and enlightenment, or to be forced back to the twilight and cold gloom of igno rance and thraldom—the balance is not turned by a . _ . few insignificant scruples more or less. Behind the momentarily baffled representatives of national opinion, there is the silent might and influence of the nation, whose faithful representatives the folly and infatuation of faction would rashly set at nought. To make this silent influence constitutionally felt is the great duty of a Minister loyal to liberty, but truly at the same time a lover of the law. He must for sake of this eschew all feminine precipitancy sad passion ; he mast await event% and, when they sew, he must make then speak. HOW TO FRED THE POOR AND lIELP THE UNEMPLOYED. TER EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 27, 1857. TO TUE IDITOI OP TOO TIMMS. Sty—The tone of your articles on the threatened and actual distress of the manufacturing population so completely chimes in with my own feelings, that I venture to address you on the subject. I wish simply to relate my own experience about fifteen years since. I was then a curate in a large manu facturing district. Our poor were fearfully destitute. Our rates had been rained to such a sum as to render many small properties untenable. On these grounds we applied for and obtained a grant from the sum of money which had been collected throughout the nation for the relief of the distressed operatives. We determined to husband our resources. Aided by the most influential persons in the district, I formed a committee of persons of all persuasions, re ligious and political. We obtained the use of the old poorhouse, premixed a large iron boiler or copper, as it was called, and set it up. We bought good wholesome meat ; our butchers obtained it for us at wholesale prices. Our neighbours right and left gave ye garden vegetables, such as carrots, onions, celery, Itc.; peas and barley were purchased. The ladies of the place organised themselves into a cook ing committee, and we forthwith manufactured good, wholesome, first-rate soup, savoury and palatable, the very odour of which would have inclined you to taste it, the taste of which would induce you to taste again. Then we bought potatoes wholesale. Thus prepared, we announced that we were ready to receive applicants. Them we sat, the clergy and laity, with our overseen, parish medical doctor, Quaker guardian, and principal manufacturers. We were united in oar object—the relief of the distrem dour poorer brethren, and the relief of our own rates. Our applicants came in ; it was astonishing what we knew about them. One was a good, hard working fellow, with a large family; give him a couple of quarts of soup and a peck of potatoes. Another was a ne'er-do-weel, but his wife was thrifty and his children hungry ; give them a quart of soup or two, and a supply of potatoes. Somehow or other, parson, master, doctor, overseer, or consta ble, we could give amongst us the history of every one. Well, our soup was good ; so good, the mothers blessed us, and told us that they put a quart of water to two quarts of soup and boiled it up, and so made two quarts three. But the most remarkable thing was how our soup grew, it was almost like the widow's cake and cruse of oil. Contact with so much misery roused our two committees, male and female ; our pot received so many contributions it kept boiling, with little money, all through the dreary winter. Kind-hearted * manufacturers said, " Nay, ye shan't eve ow- men soup for nought; you make it, we will send our men for it, and pay you for all you give them." 'Thus we relieved our rates, fed our poor, and kept true hearted brave men from the degradation of parish pay till times grew better. And then, actually, we had a sum in hand, which we distributed among the poor mo thers and children in warm clothes and good shoes. I would not trouble you with this history of our pro ceedings, it was so common-sense like, did I not re member how different was the fate of some of our neighbouring districts, though they were not so dis tressed sa ourselves. They spent their money reck lessly, like charity money. They made soup, cheap stuff; and the poor, hungry thmigh theywere, poured it into the gutters, grumbling and cursing. The secret of our success was, that what we made and what we distributed was good. We learnt, from following the rule of doing to others as we would be done by ourselves, that what was savoury and taste ful was likely to be healthful and really helpful. We thus learnt what dietetical philosophers are only now just beginning to discover. We uncovered the thousand rills of charity among our neighbours which only required a guide to direct them into a common stream, and we were all astounded, when the dismal days passed over, at how much was done with so little foreign am, &e., A FORMER CURATE OF A MANU FACTURING DISTRICT. !be froun.

A telegram was received in town yesterday from Constantinople announcing the departure of Viscount Stratford de Radcliffe from that capital en rode for England. UNITED STATES. SOUTHAMPTON. T.PItUDAN. The steamship Argo has arrived from New York, which she left on the 14th inst. The Arabia had arrived out with news of the fall of Delhi. The Mormons are reported by the New York papers to have committed their first overt act of treason against the federal authorities by the seizure of the government provision traina, and it is said that a cabinet meeting had been called at Washing ton on the subject. A Californian mail is en route for New York with about a million dollars in specie. Inatructions have been sent to the south to inter cept General Walker and his party if possible. The treasurer's statement at Washington shows the amount in the different depositories to be nearly twelve million dollars, of which nearly nine millions are subject to draft. The receipts for the week end ing the 9th inst. amounted to nearly 600,000 dollars. Mr. Woodman, the husband of the lady who figured in the New York Hotel affair, has sued for a divorce. A bill to sustain the financial credit of Missouri is before the Legislature at Now Orleans. The Arabia's news was regarded there as worse thaw had been expected ; but factors refused to give way to any material extent. At Mobile cotton bad declined. The Courier anti Enquirer says that the advice. per Arabia turned out more favourable than had been anticipated in New York. The effect of the news on Wall-street was favourable. Full confidence was felt that so far as the London market is con cerned no trouble was to be feared—American troubles were all domestic. Virginia Sixes and New York Central advanced. Brokers had had money offeredto them at 5 per cent., and borrowers were enabled to place State stocks as collateral' at 7 per cent. No doubt exists as to the punctual payment of interest by Ohio, Virginia, Missouri, and other states that have hitherto stood firm. The 'abject of resumption of specie payments by the banks is already started, and it is intimated that two or three banks have concluded to adopt this important measure before the lit of December. This will, it is said, not meet with tho approval of merchants or of the banks generally, as it is consi dered premature. There is a gradual approach to a better state of things as to the domestic exchanges; but while gold is going to and coming from England weekly there can be no steadiness in the foreign exchanges. Three only of the nine banks in Orleans are in a state of suspension. At New York small sales of cotton had been made at: a decline. The; market for flour was un settled. Tho wheat market was depressed. Rail road shares had advanced. In dry goods there was little change. The export of specie from New York was nearly 227,000 dollars. Exchange on London, 107 to 107!. The New York Times says that the New York money market showed very little variation on the 13th, and that the ease in supply is increased by the tenor of the English news, and the remittances in gold received by the Arabia. Return business for the Arsgo's mail will;be:light Tho Sub-Treasory received 51,000 dollar, paid 131,000 dollars, and held above 5,000,000 dollars at the close. no price of gold condoned at 1001 to 1003.

A conspiracy had been discovered among the Bombay Grenadiers, at Ahmedabad, and the conspi rators executed. Brigadier Showers' column was scouring the country round Delhi, advancing to Kootule, and afterwards to Benue., which they found abandoned by Rao Jooleran, who left his guns, &c., behind him,—Post. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (PROM ouz OWX 00102111.011DILVT.) PARIS. THI/1111)&1 EVE/CIRO. M. Dupin, as you may have seen by the Moniteur, was received yesterday by the Emperor to take the oath on hie appointment to the office of Imperial Procureur-General to the Court of Caseation. His Majesty congratulated him on his return to the par quet (an expreuion signifying the office of any law officer of the crown), and lam told that U. Dupin answered in these words :—Sire, quand on a ea thonneur d'etre lnagistrat, on desire mourir dons la magistrature (Sire, when a man has had the honour of being a magistrate, he desires to die in the magistracy). It is said that H. Dupin, although 75 years old, is perfectly tit for work. He comes of a long-lived family. His father, an honest vine cultivator at Clamecy, lived to the age of 92, and his mother died at 86. The that the Congress of Paris would meet to-day, to exchange the ratifications of the treaty for the settlement of the Bosearabian frontier, although made by the two government Journals, the Pays and Constitutionnel, WAS prema ture. There has been no meeting to-day. A despatch from Tiflis contains the following in telligence : Coo►tantine Dedlech-kilien, the reigning Prince of Sown- Iselin was lately sent for to Tiflis, and there learnt that he was to be kept a prisoner at Koutais. On being informed by Prince Gawks, the Governor-Oencrel, that he would not be allowed to retorn to his own reentry, he stabbed the Gover nor-General with a ;oinked (whether mortally or not does not appear), killed three other persona, and then took to flight. lie was finally mods prisoner, after a &operate resistance, by some troops Not in pursuit of him. . - . I learn that the IndFpendanre was mistaken in saying that a French allacht , had been sent to Jassy with fresh instructions for Baron Talleyrand. It is confirmed that Mexico definitively accepts the arbitration of Franco in tho difference with Spain, but on condition that previous to the opening of negotiations M. Lafragua shall be received at Madrid. The news that the Bank of France had lowered its discount I per cent. was not known at the Bourse to-day till ten minutes to two o'clock. Its effect upon the market had been in great measure dis counted yesterday and this morning. The ltente opened for account at 67fr. 40e., but closed at 67fr. 30c., in consequence of realisations, the rise from yesterday being but 13c. For cash there was a rise of 20e. Mobilier roso 3fr. 730. Railways were from 3fr. to 10fr. higher. Dr. Livingstone teas to have embarked for Portugal yeetaiday at Southampton in the Peninsular mail packet. The last advioes from Lisbon, however, coavey so fearful a rearesentation of the ravages of the epidemic there that the Doctor has thought right to postpone his visit to that capital. . . - . -- gavot kraocrriza.—At the close of a lecture delivered in Crosby Hall last night by the Rev. F. F. • Statham on " our Indian Empire," the Earl of Shaftesbury, who pre sided, made a few remark.. on the present position of affairs in India. He thought there had been an undue reserve in making known the atrocities committed by the aLpost . , for by them we should know the character of the with whom we have to deal. "It Is only this wry Er said his lordship, that 1 have IMO a copy of a latter written and sent to England by an officer of rank, who was one of the first that entered Cawapore a few hours, or pre haps only one boor, after the perpetrating of the frightful • massacre which was enacted there; and, think of the deacrip.. tree he gives, and what ersa seen by the whole onldiery, and you will not wonder at the exasperation that was felt by every man among them who bore tho European name. On striving at Cavenpore, be states—and be can scarcely permit himself to write the sal story—that, to his unutterable horror and dismay, he saw a number of European women stripped stark ogled, lying on their backs, fastened by the arms and lege, sad than maw of them bed been lying four and fire days ea pared to a burning earn; other. had been more recently laid down; others again had been actually harked to pierce, and so recently that the blood which streamed from their mangled bodies was still warm. Ile found children of 10, 12, 13, and 14 yearn of age treated in the same horrible manner at the openers of the streets and in all parts of the town attended by every circumstance • of insult, the most awful aiid the most degrading, the most horrible and frightful to the conception, and the mist re volting to the dignity and feelings of civilised men.

TIIE AMERICAN PANIP As VIEWED IN ENGLAND. —The coranercial advise by the Arabic, yeeterday, made some of oar worthy fellow citizens feel a little foolish. We bad beon waiting, with breatbleas anxiety, for the exploits of the bomb-shel l we had pent over something liko n month ago. We expected to bear very dreadful accounts of the damage it had done, the consternation it had ("tel.!, end the fearful ieraetwee of retaliation to which It might incite the English people. The Bank of Eng land was certainly to suspend ; --Biome of houses connected with the Anterhan trade were to disappear from the com mercial world; end it was even feared that the indignant sons John Bull might rush over in swarms, personally or by rosy, and demand payment of the money they had loaned us on our railway bonds. All thie was to take place ea moue es the news nt our bank suspension should reach the English shore. That event took place in due time ; —but the direful results have not followed. In fact, John hull does not norm in the lost excited by this awful incident. The Bank of England did not suspend, Consols did not de dine, and the imperturbable Britisher, coolly proceeded to bay up our railroad stocks and bonds, at the ridiculously low figure to which our ridiculous panic had reduced them. This may be a little acne) ing to our overweening vanity. It shows we see neither no important nor so wine as we had tged ourselves. But it also shows that there is InteWgence, and a more solid order of men in the London Stock Exchange than in our own. They are lees excitable, act with greater deliberation, and have MOM sagacity. and poseibly more principle, than the Bulls and Bears of Wall-street. On the receipt of the news of the sus penaion of specie payments by our banks, Console fell one fourth per cent., but recovered even that trilling deiline during the day. With sitis no unusual circumstance for stocks to rim an I fell 8 or 10 per cent. in the cilium of a morning.—New York notes, Nov. 14. ANOTHER FILIttEsTERING EXPEDITION TO NI CIAA G telegram from New Orleans informs ILI that General William Walker ha. started for Nicaragua. He appears to have effected his departure in a calm, orderly, and business-like way. The General himself, with his staff and three hundred men, left on Wednesday afternoon, in the ostensibly for Mobile. He had, however, for an excellent plan, and wee under no fens for is interruption. Ae coon as the boat reached Mobile Bay, Walker and hie men were transacted hi • steamer in waiting and already supplied with arms and ammunition. The Filibuster steamer immediately took her departure, and moat people—government officials always ex cepted—semis that her dmtination Nicaragua. On the morning of the mine day that Walker left New Orleans, the steamer Fashion, heavily laden with arms, ammunition, and sondem, got away from tbo Anne port.

No contraband goods were discovered--si Mini( rifles, mortars, powder, shot, or other implement• war. No suspicions-looking characters were noticed en board, though the Fashion did actually easy away a large body of Wilker's recruits. Some persons Imagine that the Fashion has gone for the Texas Regiment, which, together with the force under Walker's immediate otminand will, we spree, foes the advance-guard of the army of Invasion. The rest will follow under the guidance of General Henningsen and Captain 1 . /AMYX.

CONFLICT BETWEEN THE MORR•ONB AND THE UNITED STATES 00rBENEENT. (From the New York Herald of Nov. 14.) A few days since it was reported from the Wed that the Mormons among the Rocky Mountains had cap Wed the advanced provision trains of seventy-eight waggons belonging to the United States army corps en route for the Great Salt Lake. A special correspondent at Wsahington now informs na that the President has received official con firmation of this intelligence through a despatch from Judge Echols (appointed for Utah as the new Chief Jus tice of that territory, and accompanying the army corps) dated at the army camp on the Sweet Water, twenty cos miles east of the South Pam From this despatch se kern that three governmenkYraina, numbering in all seventy. . - . . eight waggons, together with their content', had been cep tured and appropriated by the Mormons without resistance; ' and that the advanced Mormon force coneerned in this cap ture numbered seven hundred men, while the reserved force at the Salt Lake numbered fifteen hundred. These acts of treason and rebellion appear to have been committed at several points, within two hundred miles of Great Salt Lake City; and as the army rotate over this interval lies through • confused mass of wild and desolate mountains, with frequent difficult passes and defiles highly favourable for guerilla warfare we may reasonably infer that, having crooned the Rubicon, the Mormons will follow up their work in a stubborn de &coo of these mountain approaches to their capital. We should not, therefore, be surprised if the next information from this new seat of war were tidings of the destruction of an advanced detachment or two of the United States army by the infatuated followers of the Mormon prophet. The inhospitable region into which the government i troops wore penetrating affords anbeisteses for neither man nue beset. The emigrant trail through this howling white ness is perbape as thickly strewn with the skeletons of wasted caravans as the desert route to Tlmbuctoo. The ses sos is advanced. Ere this those Utah or Vintett mountains and their defiles are covered with the MOWS of a long winter; and If an army force of ler than two thousand men, de spoiled of their main supplies of ministate., shall still be able to push through to the Salt Lake, it may be considered a very fortunate or • very wonderful achievement. More likely, from the is of their provisions, the government troops will be compelled to fall back upon the plains, and wait the return of spring before resuming their expedition. We eve it,w that Brigham Young is really in earnest, and that his programme is • desperate struggle to maintain his dictatorship and his polygamy. We have Lem led to believe, from Lis sporthee and ha movements, that he expect, to he able to beat back the present army expedition of the government; that by the next spring he proposes to organise all Mormondom into • moveable camp, and, with the ap proach of en army fora) which cannot be resisted, hie plan will most probably be to eva uate Utah with the whole Mor mon community, burning or destroying everything in their retreat which they cannot cony away. From his tour of ex ploration last epneg. the Mormon prophet will thus, perhaps, move northward, across Oregon and Washington Territo ries into the British possessions, to try the hospitality of Queen Victoria. It is certain, at all events, that Brigham Young is fully aware of the extreme folly of attempting to maintain by arum his occupation of Utah against the United States government. Accordingly, we think it a safe conclu sion that his scheme is to beat back the present government expedition, and to evacuate Utah in an Israelitish eviler, or by a peaceable dispersion of the saints in the spring, to be collected together again at some new Canaan, as their moans and facilities may permit. ORPHAN WORKING SCHOOL, HAVIRSTOOK- RILL.-(211118 D4L) This morning morning the 190th half-yearly meeting this charity was held at the London Tavern, the preside n t, John It. Mltts, Eq., in the chair. The report was as follows .—" The committee of the Orphan W orking School, is presenting their half-yearly ea port, have pleasure in stating that the health of the children continues to be good; that the schools ate in excellent order, and the educational departments well sustained. Mr. W. F. Teethes, who had occupied the postilion of head master en tirely to the satisfaction of the committee having from family considerations, left England for New Zeiland, resigned his office, but hie :place in the school has been filled by Mr. Saville, late of Carr's-lane School, Birming ham, who came with high testimonials from the Rev. J. A. James and other gentlemen, end the com mittee have every reason to be satisfied with him. The present number in the schools is 161 boys ; 741' ; 26 will be added as the result of the election this day. gir Fifty children will be admitted in the school in 1858. The annual examination took place, an announced, on the 27th of May, when the Hun. Arthur %inward, M.l'., presided. As a report of that examination has been sent to every governor and subscriber to the charity, it is not given In detail. It proved the excellent and useful character of the education imparted to the children. A partial examin ation of the children was subsequently held at Willis's Rooms, in cosmetics with a public meeting, at which the Earl of Shaftesbury preeided, when, among ether things, his lordship wee as to say ' This school has realised many of the projects end theorise of those who were anxious to promote the education of the working chums. It had, at the same time, tide advantage over all other septa= proposed for the education of this claret, that while the supporters of three were only talking and endeavouring to mature their plane, this society was in full and efficient operation, and had been so fee nearly a hun dred years. It had eolvecimany of the difficulties which be set the path of popular education. The religions element, which was so great a barrier to all the echemes of education recently propounded, seemed to have no effect as regarded this *tool. It had, in effect, been got over, and the educa tion war a genuine secular and religious education. Reli gious in all senses of the word. . . . Besides tide, the school had demonstrated the time which was required to qualify this elms of children for being gent out into the world, in order that they might enter on the business of life. From a stetement put into hie hands by the secretary, he found that of the last 600 children who hid left the school, 14 had been there shove seven years ; 108 above six years; 120 above five years; 127 ebove four years; 99 above three years; and only 32 seeder three years. After reeding the statement relative to the work of the girl., his lordship concluded by saying, ' Thet was a system which they had been all along aiming at bringing into proper working order. This institu tion had certainly done so in an eminent degree, and now that it was sinking an effort to extend its operation, he hoped it would meet with the countenance and support of the public The centenary fund has occupieda much of the attention of the committee, and revered thousand circulars and papers have been famed to the governors of the charity and others. The result bee scarcely been equal to the expectations of the committee, but they see no reason to doubt of ultimate encase. Measures are being taken to call forth the liberality of friend, in the country as the provinces largely participate in the benefits of the charity. In come:ion with this move ment one cheering fact may be mentioned—vie , that some of the old 'cholera hove formed an association for raising contributions, and heve, during the lest few month", paid over to your treasurer the sum of 26 guinea", and much more may be expected from that rearm. They have also formed an areociation for the relief of their echoed mates, who may be in sickness and distress, and one of their number hes attempted to form a bible class for the youth among them. The committee are much gratified by them pleasing results, and earnestly hope that the greater advantages enjoyed by the children in the school will teed yet Men to practical usefulness. The com mittee were entered to seal a power of attorney for the sale of 7131. 6e. J. Consols since the last report, to carry on the general operations of the charity." The report having been adopted, auditors were appointed, and after a vote of thanks to the chair, 26 children were elected into the school out of a list of 110 candidates. We (Nottingham Reeieu•) regret to state that the Doke of Newcastle, whibt hunting with the Earl of Seer borough's hounds, near Hunan, on Thursday last, was thrown from his horse, and falling on his elbow, dislocated his shoulder. Fortunately two medical gentlemen were in the field at the time, and his grace was carried to a cottage where the fracture was reduced, &c., and ho was conveyed home by Dr. Ward, of Wellow Hall. Early on the follow ing morning the duke started off to Nottingham to attend to his official duties se Lord Lieutenant of the county of Not tingham. On Tuesday last their guests, the Duke end Du chess of Sutherland, who were on a vidt at Worksop Manor, called to inquire after the duke's health. The ioabgxeition of the Earl of Scarborough (says the Nottingham Journal), consequent upon an acciden tal fall backwards in attempting to cross a ditch while out shooting on the Longsbaw Moore, in August last, hits created feelings of the deepest regret throughout the whole of this district. By this lamentable disaster, the spine has, we un derstand, been severely injured. The advice of Dr. Fergu son and Dr. Bright, two eminent metropolitan physicians, has been obtained. They have recommended that the noble earl should refrain from the least exertion. HIRAINORE C. THE EARL AND COUNTESS OP HARRINOTON.-111 the MUM of a correspondence between the Evl of Harrington and the Rev. P. J. Jones, which we lately published, in relation to this prosecution, Mr. Barron, of Elvuton Castle, near Derby, was accused by that rev. gentleman of " much wilful misrepresentation, and some thing worse." We are glad to see by the local papers, that Mr. Jones has thought it right to recal the imputation and ' publicly acquit Mr. Barren of the charge. THE GOVERNOR AND THE EAST INDIA COM PANT.—We are happy to say that cts soon as parliament meets for the despatch of general business the total abolition of the Compsny's government will be proposed by ministers. India will be brought immediately under the control of the crown and parliament, with such a machinery of adminis tration as shall be thought conducive to its wrlfare. The greatest dependency of the empire will receive the benefits of direct parliamentary supervision and direct ministerial responsibility.—timer. THE BANK CRISIS IN GLASGOW. GREAT PUBLIC MEETING. (raw( OCR 0W74 CORRESPONDENT.) GLASGOW, nit' ItADAt A public meeting of the in h abitants of Glasgow, added by the Lord Provost, wee held to-day for the purpose of expressing their apprehension of the appalling conse quences of the final stoppage of the Western and City of Glasgow Banks and their opinion of the public expediency of maintaining these brake as well as to consider the propriety of memorialising her Majesty's government on the subject. The meeting was to have been held in the Merchants'. ball, but long before the hour for beginning the business had arrived it wee found necessary, from the number of persons unable to procure edmisaion, to adjourn to the City-hall, which was speedily tilled In every part. The Hon. the Lord Paovosr took the chair and was surrounded on the platform by many of the lead ing merchants and manufacturers of the city. Me lordship, Ins short speech, opened the meeting, expressing in strong terms hie opinion that the final stoppage of the suspended banks would result in great calamity, not only to the city, but the country generally; end supported his opinions by statistics showing the number of depositors, shareholders, and others, whose interests would suffer severe damage by the winding up of those establishments. Bheriff STEELE them rose and proposed the following resolutions ...." I.—Thrit the English Banking Act of 1844, by pro hibiting any new Bank of issue, established practically • monopoly of the business of banking in Scotland in favour of the then and now existing banks,—and the twines' of Scotland, whether comrpercial or agricultural, which has in ! creased prodigiously since 1845, would receive a violent check were either the amount of capital now applied to banking, or the paper issue, by which that business is almost exclusively caned on, materially diminished, or even con centrated m the hands of a smaller number of powerful con porations than at present." "2. That the final stoppage and judicial winding-up of the admire of the western and City teaks, two of our most exten sive local intake, would farther be • public calamity, se en tailing great loss upon the proprietors, and miene moonve nience to upwards of 60,000 depositors, and ruining , aC number of manufacturing and commercial Irons ce thro out Scotland, who have been doing their balances in these and their branches, and who, although perfectly solvent if afforded the usual banking facilities, could not, if suddenly forced into liquidation, rea li se means suffi-ient to meet the ir engagements.' In supporting his motion, the learned sheriff made a num ber of n marks expressing disapprobatien of the syrtem of monopoly established by the act of 1844. He characterised the restrictive act as a most absurd and pernicious measure, Illustrating the compulsory bullion reserve se being like com pelling a gardener to lay up in his garner one seed for every two he pleated in his garden. Then the act provided that if business extended the proportion of reserve must be increased so that the act had either done too much or too little, for if further restriction could be good for the new, it must also have been good for the old circulation. He referred to the Scotch Chartered banks, charecterising them as being chartered to do mischief, and called upon the public to take such reps as would bring the con ductors of those banks to sea the danger of the course pursued by them in throwing obstacles in the way of the resuscitation of the suspended banks. In conclu ding, he expressed in very strong terms the greet loss which would accrue to the shareholders, many of whom were wi doses and the trustees for orphans, by the wind ing up of the concerns. The legal expenses of such • step would be very heavy and he hoyed and believed that the public would give the bank every 'madame to keep themselves out of the hands of the men of law. - - ALEXANDER MORMON, Esq., Deen:of the Tamil'. of Procurators, seconded the motion, which was carried ottani measly. Mr. SMITH, of Jordanhill, then moved the following re solution, which having been seconded by Baillie CLOtSTON. wee also carried unanimously That the ultimate security of the creditors of these two banks cannot be doubted ; and the first thing requisite to enable these establishments to se same businese, and so avert the evils already described, is the restoration of public confidence—a result to be attained chiefly by the forbearance of the creditors and by the liberal support of the other great banking concerns, both in Eng land and Scotland, to whew the public are entitled to look for aid in a crisis like the present, in exchange for the pecu liar privileges conferred on th em." Roar. Defamer', Esq., M.P., then proposed the follow ing resolution That her Mekety's government ought to be made acquainted with the present critical poeition of the mercantile interests in Scotland, and solicited to take each steps as shall seem most expedient for averting so much suf fering and lees to the nation ; and that for this the following deputation be appointed to proceed to London, to communicate with the Fast Lord of the Treasury and the Chancellor of the Exchequer— The Lord Provost, the Lord Dean of Guild, Bailie Clauston, the Dean of Faculty of Pmeuratora, Hugh Temant, Esq., of Welipark, Hobe. Napier, Esq., of Lenoefleid, with power to add to their number." Mr. Daglieh, in speaking to hie motion, said that he believed that there was suffident com mercial talent and energy in Glasgow to enable them to get through the present difficulties without applying to government, but he thought that they had a right to expect assistance. When the panic came upon Scotland the relaxa tion of the Bank C has ter Act was proposed, but the proposal was unheeded, end the crash had gone on in that ' country, but whenever the difficulty appeared serious in England—when one of the largest discount houses in Lon don had to suspend payment, and the American houses in London were applying in vain to the Bank of England, then the measure of relief wan granted. He therefore thought that Glasgow was entitled to relief from government; for had they taken means to re lieve the remora in time, the present calamities might have been prevented. He defended the chartered banks from the charges that had been brought against them, and believed that they would be found of very great use in the present commercial crisis. He concluded by moving the resolution, which having been seconded by Bailie M'Crifocit, was carried unanimously. W. BtrllA SAN, Esq., M.P., then propelled a vote of thanks to the Lord Provost, which closed the proceedings. THB NORTHUMBERLAND AND DURHAM DISTRICT BANK. - 4 .-- NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, Tut RSDAY. The following announcement wu posted upon the Lank doom at Shields and other towns at ten tide morning • "The District But regrets to announce that it has re wired orders from the head-office to dose its doors. Depo sits and credit accounts will bo fully paid with ea little delay as possible. A meeting of the shareholdem will be immediately held." The branches of the bank are at Sunderland, North and South Shields., Berlina, Morpetb, Berwick, Alnwick, and Durham. Several large concerns on Tyneside, it is to be feared, must slop, as the principal iron-works and collieries in the neighbourhood did their business with the Dis trict Bank. There is little doubt but the bank has made ad vances to speculative concerns in the neighbourhood, but it would he premature to enter into any details at present. The men cSbneiuece here ire making a manly effort to prevent • panic, and a run upon the other banks this morning, and en far have succeeded. An hoe just appeared that several leading shareholders in the District Dank intend opening a private bank at once to meet the difficulties of trade. The tempo rary suspension, at least, of several large concerns seems to be imminent ; and great difficulty will be ruperienoed In raising the funds r,quisits to pay workmen's wages to morrow. NEWCASTLE, TITURADAT NIGHT. Bank hours are over to-day without any absolute run upon either the Union or Lambton's banks in thin town, or upon the branches of the Union or the National Pro vincial Bank in Shields or Sunderland. Though every one appears stupefied by the stoppage of the District Bank this morning, there is no panto. The other banks are considered to be quite safe. The stoppage of the District Bank fa likely to pore the worst calamity that has been known in this district. The absolute loss, It Is conjectured by well-informed person, will exceed 1,000,0001. The directors and leading ahareholders have been sitting with closed Cora all day. Nothing has transpired. The meeting of sharaholdere takes place in a day or two. The Branch Bank of England in this town undertakes to mist Carr, Palmer, Hatt, Bonito, and CO.. Marley-hill Collieries, Nicholas Wood, Black Boy Col- Wien, and other coalownees and largo manufacturers doing business with the District Bank, as that some thotutanda of workmen will be paid their wages on Saturday, and they will remain employed. Mr. Hodgson, from the Bank of England is coming down to see what can be done to relieve trade. (From the IVetrcootk Chronicle of this day.) The shareholders are 402 in number, and, as will be seen in the list of them which appeared in the London Gamete in Fe bruary last, they comprise a number of the wealthiest and most respectable persona in the district. There cannot, there fore, bo the slightest doubt that the depositors and other creditors of the concern are amply covered, even were the liabilities of the bank many times doubled; and it is to be hoped that the public will me the necessity of moderation and forbearance until the directors are enabled to liquidate the claims upon them ; a step which, all permits may be sewed, will not be delayed a single day longer than la ab solutely necessary. It ia said that the average weekly amount paid for wages alone through this bank is not leas than 35,0001.; but we fr vat tor lea Mr bo, un( in lib( or firn Joint 'tree empl 018u9 OCTUI It WA T „bl.
