'Tsre items from Warsaw which we publish this morning will be read by all Englishmen, whether they feel much or little interest in Polish nationa lity, with deep regret. It does not come unex pected, as it was known that the military conscription was going on, and that the young men were betaking themselves to the forests. It appears now that two thousand conscripts lately enrolled have deserted, and joined the insargent peasantry on several points. A number of serious conflicts have taken place in Warsaw, in the open country, and in the forests. The accounts we have are from Russian sources, and the loss of life, it is admitted, has been very great. Little interest of a technical military character belongs to these movements. The insur gents are ill-armed, or unarmed, apparently without competent leaders, and the educated classes are not with them. There is reason to believe that the insurrection is simply the pas sionate outbreak of despair, caused by the enforce ment of the dreaded conscription, which delivers the uniaggy Poles to a lot compared with which our inmportation in its worst days was a privilege. The mast may be more or less prolonged, but the nieleneholy end, we fear, is but too certain. Tux eeadition of the Money Market consider in selation to the state of trade is sufficiently ano- ankina, and deserves all the attention it receives. Teri% instead of being active, is dull, yet the • , vales of money is rising. It is evidently not rising up= any increased demand for capital for the pur poses of our home or internal commerce. More over, as the state of the cotton manufacture shows, we have spent much leas than usual in at least one of the moat important articles of foreign expendi ture. Yet gold leaves the Bank of England daily, and the impression remains that, should the drain continue, the rate of discount will be raised to 4} or even 5 per cent. Now, the establishment of a 5 per cent rate would be a some what anomalous occurrence at a time when the trade of the country is con fessedly below its average volume. We have often seen an active trade occasion an active de mand for discount and an advance in the value of money ; but slackness of trade, accompanied with • great rise in the value of money (a rise from two per cent., the price three months ago, to, say, five per cent., the charge to which mercantile ap prehensions now point), forma, we repeat, an almost unprecedented phenomenon. Taking a general review of the features now presented in the money market, it will be seen that the upward movement in the Bank's terms, which have been advanced by two sac cessive leaps, from 2 to 4 per cent., arises not from a demand for discount—that is to say, not from a demand for money, in the ordinary mean ing of the term—so much as from a demand for gold for exportation. To talk of a scarcity of money would be perfectly absurd, for there is plenty afloat, and the supply has increased since the banks and discount establishments have begun to offer higher terms for loans. Now that the Bank minimum rate of disoormt is 4 per cent., there is more money available for commercial purposes than there was when the minimum was 2 per cent. This, again, seems contradictory; for if, as we nearly always find is the case, the price of an article be deter mined by its comparative scarcity or abundance, why should money which is now quite as abun dant as it was a few months ago, command • much higher price? The joint-stock banks, in the aggregate, show an increased amount of funds lodged with them, the London and Westminster of itself having been entrusted with the huge sum of 14,000,0001. As to the Bank of England, the amplitude of the private and bankers' balances lodged with it may be gathered from the fact that the last return but one stated the total (styled other " deposits) at the unusually heavy aum of 16,772,7821. It is true that some very large draughts bays since been presented to the Bank, bringing the total down to 14,993,2251., on Wed nesday last. ; but this sum is only 372,8561. less than was held at the corresponding date of last year, when the rate of discount was but 2} per cent. The mercantile community thus appear to be as well provided with funds as usual, and bankers and discounters complain of no scarcity, but affirm, on the contrary, that they find quits sufficient for all requirements. Latterly their balances at the end of each day have been in many instances rather larger than they could have wished. When we find the Bank of Eng land, in spite of these circumstances, threatening to fix a still higher rate, and all other bankers following steadily in the wake of the Bank of England, and raising their terms in exact propor tion to the advance in hers, the situation may seem to some minds rather perplexing. Two or three simple considerations, however, will serve to remove much of the perplexity which is beginning to prev►il. The value of a thing, as we all know, is just what it will fetch, and every seller will try to get the highest price he can. This is precisely the case with money now. When the Bank of England seta the example of asking mote, all other holders of money do the same, and they will stand firmly to their position as long as the bullion movement is of a character to denote a continuance of the foreign demand. But, inso much as the present rise in the value of money COO eve OCE at fes oft mi MC •E tw fiv Pr Be' alr th , th , wl . ce fn frc go pl 1 th to BB ce cc tt cc ID w rc Ic of tl tl Ic tl d 1 1 1 1 1 THZ EXPRESS, MONDAY EVEleitet, ;. JANUARY 26::- has been caused rather by a policy of precaution than by actual pressing necessity, we shall expect to see the terms in the general market sink decidedly below those of the Bank directly the impression begins to prevail that the crisis, if we may call it so, is over, and that Vat turning point is reached. Everybody knows well enough that there is plenty of gold in the Bahr for all practical purposes, and that any doubt as to the convertibility of the note I under existing circumstances is absurd ; yet in view of the fact that so large • proportion of the Bank's nc,te issues is unrepresented by bullion, it is fully recognised that a draught upon the stock of gold to an extent really immaterial in itself mrist be attended with an increase in the terms of that establishment. Bankers and capi talists, acting upon the maxim of " making hay while the sun shines," will, therefore, follow the Bank of England with alacrity in its upward course, until the turn is reached and the bullion drain stayed. That point, indicating the top of the market, once touched, money will probably be brought forward with unusual eagerness for employment ; long dated paper will be especially sought after ; the rates in Lombard-street will crumble away ; and the Bank of England will be left alone in her glory. It will not have escaped attention that ever since the present rise in the value of money set in, the demand at the Bank discount-office has been less than is usually ex perienced on such occasions. Some pressure has heed' witnessed on the daeding the weekly court-day on which the advance has been decided upon, but only then. This circumstance tends to strengthen the view that the cause of the present advance in the rates of discount consists in • less degree than usual in a commercial demand for money, and in a larger degree than usual in a demand for gold for exportation. Stop the ex ports of the precious metal, therefore, and the trade demand for money will be quite insufficient to enable bankers to enforce the higher terms now threatened, or even, perhaps, those current at this moment. There is probably nothing in the aspect of the internal trade of the country to warrant a 5 per cent. rate of discount. The questions of real importance, then, are— when will the export of gold be really checked, and at what point will the rise in the Bank rate cause the current to turn? The theory of the Bank Act is that, as the Bank loses gold, it must go on raising its rate of discount, until our terms shall exceed those of other countries ; the inference being that other countries, instead of drawing gold from us, will then be glad to send capital to us, for employment at the relatively higher price which we offer for it. In practice, as many a rained man can vouch, this theory has been found cruel enough, because, if we owe the foreigner money, and if the foreigner is in the throes of a financial panic himself, he will clutch tightly all he has, and at the same time go on drawing all he can from us. By these means, on former occasions, we have drifted into a panic our selves, although we have sacrificed many of our most precious commodities—our stocks of produce, our manufactures, our ships, everything—offering them in the market for almost any price they would fetch, in the hope that we might tempt the foreigner to buy, and thus attract some of his capital to our relief. Happily, there is no oc casion for any such violent measures now, and this for sufficient reasons ; there is pressure neither at home nor abroad; there has been no excessive speculation ; and, what is most important of all to ourselves, we do not owe any large sums to the foreigner. jt would appear, on the contrary, that the foreigner—at least this may be said of France —is relieving himself at our expense, and leaning on us even more heavily than he is strictly entitled to do. To a certain extent, France is making us the scape goat for her financial sins. In the ordinary course of trade she is evidently not yet entitled to claim the large amounts of bullion which, somewhat to our incon venience, she is taking from us. The Bank of France manages to attract gold by, in a sense, dis counting the debts due by England to France. We have seen her adopt the same expedient be fore, and it has answered her purpose for the time, and laid us under temporary contribution for her relief. But it stands to common sense that if we pay our debts before they arrive at maturity—and this is the real effect l ot the arrangements which are now being carried out by the French Bank—we shell have so much I the less to pay hereafter. We cannot be made to discharge a debt twice over. When the turn in the money market comes, the force of this will be felt all the more. As we view the case, the drain of bullion arises partly from the pressure temporarily put on us in this manner by France ; secondly, but in • much leis degree, from the liabilities in connexion with foreign loans and foreign and colonial banks ; and thirdly, from the business we are now engaged in, of seeking out cotton in new fields or new countries—countries which, in the absence of ex change arrangements adequate to the sudden ex pansion, demand bullion in payment All the new cotton fields are now absorbing our gold, vier America, superseded. The cotton trade with Ameri , •a went on with marvellous smoothness, be cause it rolled along • well-used groove most effectually lubricated by excellent exchange ar rangements. It is quite another thing when we come to deal on a sudden with new countries, where such facilities for ad justing international balances have yet to be created, and where, meanwhile, settlements must be made in the precious metals. We can bat wait and see to what point these various demands will reduce oar stock of bullion ; and we can afford to wait w ith the more equanimity for two reasons— firstly, because there is no symptom that need ex cite distrust of the general soundness of the trade and Spence of the country ; and, secondly, because the present rise in the value of money will tend to dissipate the fears of rampant speculation which a continuance of the Bank rate at 2 per cent. would, if former experience counts for anything, hays naturally engendered.

ORDACAN ASYLUM-JUBILEE MEETIMIL-(2111.9 DAY.) i as • . ' he •50th and jubilee annual meeting of the and subscribe. a - ads institution wee held this t the London Tavern, Mr. JAMES WEL in the . There was also an election of 30 children to the asylum from a list of 155 candidates. Mr. Roonts read a long and elaborate report detailing the operations and progre s of the society, from its commencement in 118 The total number of children who have received the benefits of this charity have been 2,792, at ILO expense of 362,276!., thUlVellige cost for each child, during the whole period of BD years, having been 231. 17s. 2d. At the present time, including the 30 children to be elected on the present occasion, there were 437 orphans under the care of the committee. The com mittee are happy to report that the call upon the benevo lence of the country for the Lancashire distress has not acted detrimentally to their funds, for during the pest year there has been an increase in almost every item of receipt and a decresse in the expenditure. The life subssniptioos are about 4501., and the annual subscriptions 1501. in advance of those of the previous years • all the liabilities of the year have been met, 1,0001, ad d ed to the reserved fund, and a balance of 7411. left is band.

Bowles, 100 /. ; also one . from the late Dr. Reed, of 3001., for the purpose of pro viding lectures for the children on the natural sciences. The health of the children was good, and but one death had taken place during the year. The committee announce their intention so celebrate the year of jubilee by admitting 100 children during the ensuing year, in 50 at next June election, and 50 at the January election following. To meet the additional expenses, several friends have already pro mised donations of 100 guineas each, and the ex-scholars, both boys and girls, have subscribed amongst them the sum of 5001. The Duke of Cambridge has consented to preside at the jubilee festival, in April next, end the Merchant Taylor's Company have granted the free use of their hall for the occasion. The report concludes with reference to the flattering testimonials in favour of the conduct of the pupils who have been placed out in situations, and • strong appeal in aid of the jubilee celebrations and elections. The financial statement showed the gross receipts for the year to be 12,0441. 9s. id. and the expenditure, 10,3031. lb. 3d., leaving 1,000/. to be invested, and 7411. Ba. 10d. balance.

FORTHCOMING INTZRNaTIONAL DOG SHOW.—The directors of the Agricultural Hall Company have, at the solicitation of a large number of nobility and gentry, and incited by the success, of the show of lest year, under taken to conduct and carry out • great metropolitan and international exhibition of dogs, to take place in the Agri cultural Hall, at Islington, during the Derby week. It is intended that all the monies received for entries shall be expended in prizes, besides those from other sources, which may be either received by the prizeholders in plate or cash. FIRE IN Taa CITY.—On Saturday night, about eight o'clock. • firs which at one time threatened to destroy the distillery of Maws. Anderson and Co., broke out on the premises of Mr. IL Stroud, cabinetmaker, 81, Fetter lane. It was first discovered in the workshops in the rear, and, in consequence of the inflammable nature of the stock, rapidly spread, and soon bunt through the roof. A number of the brigade engines, including the land steam engine from Watling-street, were speedily on the spot, but it was nine o'clock before the firemen succeeded in getting the mastery mid saving the distillery. The {remise of Mr. Snood were nearly burned out, and the roofs of the back pert of the adjacent dwelling houses destroyed. FATAL ACCIDENT IN THY CALEDONIAN-ROAD. — On Saturday morning, shortly after 11 o'clock, • terrific calamity occurred in the Caledonian-rest by which one life ' has been sacrificed, and many individuals jeopardised. An icehouse or depository is in the course of construction in 1 the Caledoniau-road,by Mews. Carlo Gatti, the English and foreign ice merchants, carrying on their business in the Wharf-road. The wo rks in progress were of • most exten sive character, a shaft of 42 feet depth having been sunk, and an upper structure of 12 feet carried out from the base ment. The structure bad been raised above the level, and the completion of the work was the covering in or putting the roof on the completed edifice. Engaged on that work were the unfortunate men who have been sufferers. Whilst at their work at the hour mentioned, it seems that two iron girders, on which the roof was to rest, gave war, and the men were precipitated down the shaft. The unfor tunate man whose life was sacrificed was named George Parker, a labourer, 22 years of age. On his admission to the Ro yal Free Hospital, he was found to be suffering from a fracture of the skull, and consequent compression of the brain, and breathed his last in two hours after hie admission to the hospital. The other sufferers are Charles Dunford, aged 34 years, whose injuries were ascertained to be a fracture of the thigh-bone, contusions of the spine, end hips, and general collapse of the system ; William Neighbour, aged ZI, who is suffering from contusions of the head and spine, • severs sprain of the right ancle, and ge neral shock to the system ; John Harrold, 24 years of age, who was reported by the surgeon to be suffering from con cussion of the brain, a severe scalp wound, a fracture of the right collar bone, and a compound fracture of the forefinger of the right hand. It is satisfactory to say that, under the careful attention of the medical officers of this hospital, the patients are progreariog satisfactorily. Two other pumas suffered such slight injuries that they were enabled to re turn to their homes. THE LATE DEATH Or A YOUNG LADY BY FOIL —Dr. Lankeater held an inquest on Saturday at 42, Upper Harley-street, Marylebone-road, the late residence of Mies Janet Agnes Burchell, aged 26, daughter of Mr. James Burchell, parliamentary agent for the Metropolitan Rail way, and niece to Mr. Burcliell, one of the under-sheriffs of Middlesex. The paragraph which has appeared relating to this melancholy accident was somewhat Inaccurate. In the first place the ignition of Miss Burchell's clothes was not caused by the use of crinoline ; and secondly, there was no party whatever at the house on Thursday even ing, as described, but simply the family evening circle. On Thursday evening, shortly before ten o'clock, the de ceased had gone up to her bedroom, with the intention of retiring to rest, and not being well, was preparing for bed. She removed the guard from the front of the grate for the purpose of poking the fire, and whilst doing so • lighted coal flew out and ignited her thin muslin evening dress. Thereupon she rushed out of the room screaming, and her cries attracted the attention of some of the servants, who ran up and met her on the landing with her clothes in flames. One of the females had the presence of mind to envelope the deceased in • rug, by which the flames were extioguisbed ; but it was subse quently discovered that some of her underclothing wu smouldering, though, in, consequence of her ex hausted and insensible condition, she was rumble to give any intimation to that effect. Dr. Canard, who was celled in, stated that he found the deceased in a comatose state on his arrival, from the shock to the system. She was very dreadfully burned in various parts of the body, but he considered the immediate cause of death was closing of the larynx by suffocation, from the smoke and heated atmosphere by which she was surrounded. The jury re turned a verdict in accordance with the medical testimon adding that, in their opinion, the ignition of the d eceased's clothing was the result of accident. ACCIDENT WITH LORD GALWAY'S HOUNDS. We regret to say that a somewhat serious accident happened with Lord Galway's bounds on Thursday, to the Hon. George Edmund Miloes Monckton, the son and heir of Viscount Galway, the esteemed master of the bounds. The meet was at Remington Bridge, and the field was unusually large. A fox was soon found in Remington Wood, and after two or this rings round the cover, reynard broke away In the direction of Potteric Car. It was at this mot where the accident to which we have alluded omurre& The Car is intersected with • number of wide drains, and in order to cross one of these the Hon. Mr. Monekton bad dismounted, and having criesed the drain himself was attempting to get the horse over after him. For this purpose he had his whip in the bridle, and unfortunately in jumprog over the horee hit the young gentleman in the side with his iore-knee, knocking him done, and again striking him with his hind legs somewhat severe blow on the temple. Mr. Monckton was insensible from the blow, but one or two gentlemen of the bunt, who were at the drain at the time, rendered imme diate assistance , and, • trap being procur ed from Bessacar, • son of one of the Ileslacar tenants drove him home to Serlby,where we have every reason to hope the young gentle man is going on favourably. Lord Galway, we believe, war leading with the hounds, and was sot aware of the accident which had happened to his son until some time afterwards. —Nottingham Daily Guardian. Au exciting scene took place at Ilfracombe during the late gale. A ship was caned against the chief pro menade, the Capstan-hill, is the sight of a large number of inteseely interested spectators, sod was dashed to pieces. Fortunately the crew were saved, though in a very ex hausted stew About a quarter to one o'clock on Wednesday %let, a portion of the cliff immortalised by the name of • Shakeepere" slipped almost noiselessly into the sea. The portiou of the cliff that has thus disappeared was afar the front of the double tunnel, iscieg the viaduct el the South listen Railway. TURKEY. We learn from Constantinople that the following imperial haft bad been read at a private council of ministers at the Porte : My Illustrious Vizier, —lt is unnecessary to state that the causes which contribute to the happiness and power of the Ottoman empire are various in their nature. One of them is the enjoyment by my subject.' of all clues@ and conditions of equal protection, justice, and security, and their subjection to wise and pro tective laws, in order that each may everywhere obtain his due. Another of these causes is the continuous development of agriculture and commerce, which are the foundations of the prosperity of a people. An additional one is the maintenance in efficient order of the land and sea forces, on which the tranquillity and power of all states depend. Besides, once a real equilibrium is established between the general revenues and expenditure, and fixity and exactitude are introduced into the finances, as also laws regulating these matters are faithfully carried out —there no longer remain any obstacles to progress. With the help of the Almighty, all should take part in this work, the common task being divided according to the capacity of each. Our intention is to hold an equal balance, and, in concert with our ministers, to occupy mireelveo with affairs, to examine them minutely, each separately, and to administer the public revenue according to the real necessities of the country. We are anxious especially for the security and peace of all classes of our subject', and we absolutely joint that oar ministers and high functionaries shall second our lions with seal and faithfulness. The Levant Herald learns that the mailed gun boats recently ordered by the Porte in England for the Danube have been countermanded. "No expenditure could have been more extravagantly needless, nor less opportune under the present circumstances of the Malieh." NAPLES. The Ost-Deutsche Pod of Vienna, a journal which will not be suspected of any sympathy with Italy, publishes a letter in which we read, " I lately de picted to you the true situation of parties at Naples, and all my account is confirmed. Ask the mass of the people at Naples what they want, and they will reply Bread ; ask all the educated, and they will say Victor Emmanuel ;' address the same question to the legion of dismissed func tionaries, and they will say, 'Disorders, in order that we may fish in troubled waters.' Such is the true state of public feeling at Naples." WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) MONDAY. .1 ANCIIIT 1111. 8 LA 1 B : ri H. W. Imix. l c. L L i z. N. . Nairn 19.

A police razzia was made in Paris the other day, and the sheets of the Duke d'Aumale's historical work were carried off.

There is not in the whole code a single clause which prevents • Frenchman, even though be be • Prince and in exile, from publishing in his native country, • work which is purely historical. It is one of the few rights which the law that banished the Duke d'Aumale has left bins. The Smyrna Herald says :—" Among the new institutions rapidly famillareed in the East is that of pho tographic albums, which are spreading amongst our Ottoman friends.
