A further ris in the Bank's rate of interest is already oval the cards. No one can foretell the consequences it the trade of the country is to be starve, throu g h the diversion of the Bank's available tutu to the support of specu. lation. That alarm, has already been taken is beyond a doubt. Is the Finance Minister aware, when he triumphantly parades the large surplus of imports over expnitts of the precious metals, that he is merely strengthening the spreading belief that hoarding, the reet,it of distrust, is increasing to as alarming exterc throughout the country f The re turns of the Bank of France, and the investigations of intelligent inquirers into the state of affairs in the provinces, strongly corroborate this view. Should this absorption of the precious metes receive an additional stimulus through any injudicious handling of the reins of finance at the present most critical juncture, the National Bank, despite its utmost endeavour., will be driven to the earnestly•depr► cited resource of suspending cash payments. Be. lieving, as we do, that this step would involve • damaging blow to the foreign credit of France, and even, in its ultimate consequences, vitally endanger the Imperial dynasty, we watch with intense interest the movements of the French money market. THE financial convulsion in Franco is daily becom ing more serious, and has now arrived at a pitch at which hall-tnealures will be of no avail. From month to month reiterated warnings have been given of the precipice towards which the fatal system of blindly encouraging speculation was hurrying the country; yet the French Government hu uniformly refused to believe in the reality of the dangers pointed out. Instead of recognising that the current speculations of the nation, and especially its foreign engagements, were quite out of proportion to its means— straitened as those means are, through the scarcity of the harvests, and through the dissipation of capital in the recent exhausting war—the Govern ment has ever been ready to listen to the represents-, Lions of greedy competitors tor fresh concessions. We derive consolation from the belief that the monitory remarks of the English press have at least been attended with the beaeficial result of diminishing, so far as our fellow.countrymen are concerned, the losses inflicted by the existing crisis. But the disturbance indirectly occasioned in our market by the bursting of the storm in Paris is so grave, owing to the intimacy of the oonimercial relations subsisting between the two countries, that the progress of affairs in France is watched with the closest attention.

The Doke and Duchess of Richmond are enter taining company at Gordon Castle, Fochabers, N.B. _ We can hardly conceive a more unfavourable document of the kind than the monthly balance sheet just issued by the French Bank. Financiers of the sanguine school which has of late obtained so much favour on the other side of the Channel have not hitherto ventured beyond the aesertion that the Back ought to hold bullion to the extent of one-third of the notes in circulation. This proportion may, perhaps, suffice in ordinary times ; but no doubt what ever can exist as to the necessity of the Bank's restrict ing its note issues in proportion as the metallic reserve declines below this point of safety. How unfavourable, then, are the inferences to be deduced, at this period of panic, horn the return just published, which ex hibits the alarming deficiency of 2,773,0001. in the coin and bullion, accompanied by a positive increase of 22,8001. in the notes afloat. The total stock of the precious metals is now reduced to 6,838,7004, against 24,843,8001. of notes in circulation. The proportion of gold to notes is thus, in round numbers, as 1 too. Looking at the accounts of the head office in Paris, the mutt is still more striking, the bullion being only 3,082,6001., against 22,079,0001. of notes, or u 1 to 7. It must be borne in mind, too, that this state of things occurs in face of desperate efforts to fill up the void by exceptional and flotitiossly supported withdrawals of guld from England, the United States, and other quarters. The malt of these attempts is seen in the heavy abstraction of gold from the Bank of England, as conspicuously shown by the weekly returns which we this day publish, coupled with the instant absorption of all the fresh supplies that reach our shores. The coat to the French Bask is indicated by its having thrown away during the past month 25,0004 in the shape of " premium on purchases of gold and silver," making a total of 86,0001. expended during the last three months, in addition to the loaf of 112,7001. incurred for the same purpose during the first half of the present year.

A'Beckett, widow of the late gifted magis trate, has been masideramly sad liberally granted by the noble Premier a plosion of 1001 per balsam. Lord Palmer. stows liberality has bees farther shown in the gUt of 1001. towards the meiatensace of Mr. Aeges B. Retell. An examination of the other items of the account exhibits equally unfavoursble features. So intense was the pressure for money that the discounts have increased by no less than 2,b97,6001. In view of this rash for accommodation, coupled with the wholesale I ffiax of gold, it may well be asked, Why was the Brisk so tardy in adopting the obvious cor tire measure of a rise in the rates of discount. P And how comes it that tte advances made upon Bourse securities stand still at so high a figure? The total diminution in the loans upon French go- vernment and railway securities is no mote than 101,4001. It is, of course, through the entrain nature of the advances still made by the Bank upon commercial and Hoene securities that the perilous expansion of the circulation, as compared with the stock of bullion, is maintsioed. We admit that the reluctance of the Bank to curtail its accommodation to legitimate business may be leniently viewed. The directors are doubtless aware how painful to the commercial public, and how distasteful to the Emperor, would be a farther important rise in the rates of discount. But as regards the advances made foe Bourse purposes, no such plea can be urged. It is the bounden duty of the directors, unless they are desirous of precipi tating a general crash, to at once throw the 13Juree overboard. The commerce of the country has too long been allotted a arc)ndary place in the consideration of the rulers of the French money market; but the time has now arrived when assistance can no longer be extended by the Bank to trade equally with speculation. Tho choice must at once be made, and the Bourse mast go to the wall. Steps in this needful direction are already indi cated in the recent decision of the Bank authorities to advance on:y 40 per cent, of their value upon the Rents', and 20 per cent. upon railway securities; but the crisis demands much more strin gent meaeures. Should the consequent fall in Bourse values be severe, and an effsctual bar be placed upon fresh speculation, such results would be rather bene ficial than otherwise, for immense muses of stock would be forced from the hands; of the weak 'peen. lators who now hold them, and gradually placed in firmer channels. The only hope of a really firmer Bourse rests in this wholesome process of wirier it of its weaker elements. No is there any fear that the monied pullet, both of France and of Europe, would be slow in stepping forward to the IRICOOOF of the embarrassed market, were confidence entertained that the financial Botha titles will give up the crotchets by which they have so long been guided. If this salutary policy, so imperatively called for, and so obviously suggested by the circumstances, bel not immediately acted upon, we look with extreme apprehension to the result.

The Emperor reviewed a division of the army of Paris in the Champs de Mars this morning. There are various reports as to his personal appearance; but it is very evident that since he can sustain the considerable fatigue of successive reviews which isat I mmoral hours, he cannot be so ill as some of the Bel gian journals persist in a ffi rming him to be. The Bank return., although decidedly unfavour able, had little influence upon the Bourse, where the Maim of them had been anticipated. The Rents opened somewhat languidly at about yesterday's price, and afterwards went lower; but during the last half hour there was considerable animation in the market, end a great struggle between the " bulls and the bears," in which the former ulti mately prevailed. The Threes left off at 66fr. 80e. and 67fr. 10c., with a rise of 100. for cub, and 260. for account. Credit Mobilier rose 10fr. Railways were in considerable demand, and rose generally from dlr. to 10fr. Mediterranean rose 20fr. The Conatitsitoknesei publishes the following warn ing to traffickers in the ooin of the reales: We are enabled to state that the note is the official jour sal has been received with universal favour- Persona who is melting down silver monies and selecting the heaviest coins for sale my have fawned that they were doing a legal thing, are now warned, and we trait that this notice will suffice to make than renounce a traffic condemned by the public conscience and punishable by law. _ _ There is a hesitation in the tons of this paragraph which leads me to doubt whether the government threat to put the very old laws on the subject, which happen to remain unrepsaled on the statute book, into execution be anything more than a brutum fisinten put forth in the hope of calming the public mind during a very serious crisis. Oyu est dare 4Yue set disponere is a maxim of common sense as well as law, and if a piece of Mr. which is mine will fetch anywhere in the world 6fr. and two sous, I cannot see either any morality or sound public policy in attempting to prevent me from dis posing of it to the highest bidder. Imy attempting, because I am convinced that the effort to interfere with the natural laws of supply and demand will be nugatory. Individuals m►y be frightened by the scolding of the Manama. and Constitstionnet, bet so long as circumstances give an adventitious value abroad to French silver pieces, so long will they con tinue to ooze out ot the country. The laws invoked are not for this age, and I persist in believing that the French government will not really put them into execution. The "(enigmar states that the returns of the yield of taxes, and indirect revenues, for the month of Sep tember, show an increase of 18,199,000 f. as compared with 1864, yid of 14,500,000 f. as compared with 1855, instead of an increase of 12,000,000 f. as had been estimated in M.llagne's recent report. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. HE AMP...IANS IN THE PRINCIPALITIES. The Potris has a leading article expressing ea. prise at the prolonged occupation of the Principali ties by Austria, which it characterises, as indeed it is, u a manifest violation of the treaty of Paris; fce that treaty stipulates that the parties to it should evacuate the territories occupied during the war "u scan as possible after the exchange of the ratlike tions," and it is now five months since the ratifica tions were exchanged, and it is more than two months since France and England withdrew their large armies and the whole of their immense ma tegriei from the Crimea. The Poly* thinks it probable that Austria remains in the Principalities with the con nivance of the Porte, in order to txercise a pressure against the manifestation of an opinion of the popula- tion in favour of an union of Moldavia and Walla °hie. Of course a French government journal,which may be called upon to-morrow to say the contrary of what it says today, cannot be expected to give a straightforward opinion upon any subject whatever, and accordingly the Paths says that although the conduct of Austria looks suspicious, it is far from saying that the suspicion is well founded. Nevertheless it says enough to show which way the diplomatic wind is blowing for the moment. France and England cannot, it says, remain indifferent, and although, "no doubt," Austria has no other object than to see to the strict execution of the treaty of Paris, " although the surveillance of this treaty is no basi nsss of hers, it would be strange, indeed, if she were to pretead to enforce the strict observance of the treaty by violating herself ooe of its plainest clauses." THE AFFAIRS OF NAPLES. A letter from Vienna of the 6th, in the Weser Gantt., says :—w We are informed, on good autho• rity, that Baron de Bourqueney delivered, the day before yesterday, another note to Count Buol, rela tive to the affair of Naples. This note, it is said, was received with great satisfaction, because it de clares that France is disposed to consent that the Neapolitan dispute should be settled by the oonfe renew' which are to be opened in Paris. No declara tion of the kind has yet been received from England, but there is no doubt but that it will soon arrive." SPAIN. MADRID, Ot-r. 9. The government considers the Conmedet ea being in force. The recruiting operations are going on tranquilly throughout the kingdom. Marshal Nervier., who arrived on the sth, went, after two hours' stay in an hotel, to visit the Mi nister of War, and afterwards went to the palace to present his homage to the Queen and the King. The Queen, though slightly indisposed," says the Spew, " received him with her ordinary affability, and his conference with her Majesty was highly satisfactory,as wu also that with Marshal O'Donnell." The accouchement of the Duchess de Montpensier is expected at the beginning of November. There is • repoet that Eapartcro intends, on the raising of the state of siege, to publish a manifesto on the events which led to his downfall from power ; but according to other accounts, he means simply to pre eent himself as a candidate for his native prov;nce of Logrono in the elections for the new Cortes. The Swiss federal government, after having oon salted the superior executive government of the can ton of Neufchatel, has decided that the military oc cupation of that canton, restricted to two battalion. of infantry, shall continue until the termination of the trial of the insurgent. of the 3rd of September. The preliminary examinations are being urged on with great activity. The Vaudois battalion now in Neufchatel will be replaced by one from Berne. According to the Harnburgh News Prussia has satisfied herself of the anent of several German go vernments to her project of submitting the question of Neufchatel to the Germanic Diet. BELGIUM. The Belgian Miniater of the Interior, M. P. de Decker, has addressed &dotter to the Heads of the Universities of Gond and Lif.ge, in which he enjoins the Prams= to abstain from all direct attacks against the essential principles of the religions professed in Belgium. He observes that it is not necessary that the Professors should treat irritating and controverted question in their lectures, but that if ever they are led to deal with such delicate matter', it should be done with reserve. The Minister observes, in the course of his letter, that he is bound to take are that the teaching of the universities shall be such as may gain the confidence of families, and he repeatedly declares that he will discharge his duty with firm ness.

THE AUSTRIANS IN ROMAONA. TO TNT "MOT OP TUB RIFTS'/. But,—When at the Paris Congress mention was made of the painful state of affairs in Italy, you sod the English press spoke in favour of that unhappy country; and you did the same in the name of humanity on the occasion of my flight from the castle of Mantue. Tendering you my sincere thanks, I at , the same time beg you will bring under the notice of the public the persecutions and cruelties committed every day by the Austrians on individuals that are not Austrian subjects, end in a country where Austria I hes no right to be, via., the Papal States, governed for the last seven years by three masters—the Pope, the Emperor of Austria, and the Emperor of the French. The letters which I receive from my friends are full of accounts of the arbitrary acts daily committed by those powers on the population of that unfortn. nate country. The following is what they write to me from Romagna, one of the most enlightened provinces of Italy : On the night of the 3rd of January, 18.55, Count Pasolini, a young man of 30, wse arrested at Ceaena. The soldiers entered his palace through a window, which they burst open with axes, and on the same night he was conducted to Bologna, and lodged in the prim of St. Agnes', when for several months he Isis not permitted to have any books, or light. His Mother, who is the sister of a gentleman holding a I thigh appointment under the Austrian government, I mold only with difficulty obtain permission to nide her son a year after his confinement. He bail maw been in gaol 21 months; his health is gone, he having bad two serious illnesses during this time; I and he has not yet undergone any examination, nor has he been told the reason of his being arrested. A similar incident occurred in that town on the 27th of the same month, when the gens-d'armes entered the Excise.offioe, arrested Artidoro Bausechi, one of the clerks, whom they took at once to Bologna, where Is is still languishing in a dungeon. On the 15th of January, 1855, the Austrians arrested at Bologna Alessandro Ceategnoli, a student M that university, and bastonaded him twice, with sewers' other students. In the present year they arrested Baratelli, a erchant; Susi, a silversmith; Talentoni, an inde. pendent gentleman; and Tamburini, a Post.office sink. They endeavoured also to arrest at Cesena the brothers Finali, one an advocate and the other a surgeon; also Monaresi ' di Poggi, and Volzania, landowners, but they alleucceeded in escaping into Piedmont. In 1854, 28 persons wero condemned without any trial to 10, l& 20 years' imprisonment, and amongst this number there was a lady, nam , d Fenardi, be. longing to a highly respectable family. None of the sentences were made known, nor any reason given why these unhappy beings were condemned. Even mention of the above is considered high treason. The Austrian governor at Bologna orders the arrests, makes out the case for the prosecution, superintends the trials, signs the sentences ; in a word, he forms the judge and ju ry , __ and his soldiery take the part of executioners. Many young men from the Romagna, who suooeeded in escaping from the tyranny of Austria, on landing at Marseilles were treated by the French authorities in a manner which makes humanity shudder. Without any motives, with out even any suspicions against them, they were, arrested by the gens-d'armes, imprisoned, and when there was a certain number, were conducted under' escort, like felons, par correspondance, to the French coast, in order to be shipped to England. This jour ney lasts from four to five months, and these unior. tenets men reach Dover half starved, penniless,: exhausted by fatigue and hardship, and without knowing how to beg a piece of bread. The only crime all these sufferers are guilty of is a great love for their country. In this manner are treated the Pope's subjects by the Emperors of Austria and France; and this is what is tolerated by governments who are supposed to represent civilised nation,. As the Paris Congress is about to meet again, in the name of humanity, in the name of the peace of Europe, in the name of oppressed Italy, raise, sir, your powerful voice, in order that an end be put to each a disgraceful state of affairs.—l am, .to., PELICE ORSINI.

By the royal mail steamer Tyne we have adviou om Lisbon of the 7th October. Oar correspondent writes on that date: The agitation for the approaching elections, which are fixed for the flth of November, is, politically speak- ing, the principal point of interest; but the govern ment party has hitherto displayed no exertion in preparation for the coming struggle, no doubt from a feeling of security in its result. The crews of the Brunswick and Sanspareil have been exercised with small arms and great guns. Hitherto the men have been remarkably healthy, but as yet have not been allowed liberty on shore. Last Friday, the British ambassador and several of the foreign ministers visited the ships, and were greeted with the usual salute, and in the afternoon Captain Broadhead and Captain Key, along with several officers, were presented by Mr. Howard to the King, at Neoessidades. The Euxine returned from the south yesterday, and, as I anticipated in my last letter, she was denied Antique in Cadiz. Although she carried a clean bill of health from this port she was not allowed to commu nicate either on her outward or her return voyage, and her passengers were landed at Gibraltar. It would seem that however absurd the sanitary laws of the Lisbon board of health, they are altogether outdone by the more scrupulous or rather un scrupulous regulations of Cadia. The corn market is active, with a slightly upward tendency. In exchanges there have been few trans• actions since the Sultan ailed; the rate has betrayed • downward tendency, although little money has offered, but the Brszil paper brought by the Tyne may send it upwards. The Yasuo de Gams (a.) has sailed for Glasgow; the Rattler (e.) has sailed for Liverpool. FRENCH YISHERIES IN ICELAND. COPENHAGEN, OK. 7. As several incorrect statements have of late been published respecting the cession of a part of behind to France, it may be interesting to your readers to learn the real state of the case. For several years past the French have been ex tending their fisheries more and more northwards, and of late found a favourable fishing ground on the coast of Iceland. Their presence hu given rise to a number of unpleasant conflicts between the Ftench fishermen and the natives of that island, and been the subject of repeated complaints on the part of the latter to the Danish government, as they main tain that it interfere, with their principal means of existence and almost sole article of export, and threatens seriously to annihilate their little com merce. On the other hand, the French, wishing to remove for the future &license of collisions with the Icelanders, proposed to regulate the question by a treaty on the subject with Denmark. The late visit of Prince Napoleon—first to Iceland and then to this city—has tended mach to accelerate the negotiations, land a treaty between France and Denmark has been already signed, and will be published as soon as the ratificatious are exchanged. Denmark, however, has not ceded the sovereignty of any part of Iceland to France; the treaty simply grants to the French fishermen certain privileges, and secures to them the right of miring their fish on shore, which bad hitherto been denied them by the local authorities in Iceland. THE ROYAL MAIL STEAMER TAY. it that the New York mail steamer Atlantic had brought news of the udety of the royal mail steamer Tay has caused some excitement. The Tay undoubtedly was missiog at liavannah on the 9th ult., and at Bt. Thomas on the 16th It., when she onghtto have arrived at those places. On the 30th of August last she ought to bare teen cff Cape Bozo, a dangerous place near Tampico, and a mesaage was received this week by the owners of the Tay in Licdon, prefeasedly from the captain of that steamer, stating that she was totally wrecked cff Cape Remo on the very dsy she ought to have been off there, and giving circumstantial details of who and what was lost end saved. Amongst the particulsrs it was stated that two sailors named Jeffs and Mills were drowned. Now there were two sailors named Jeffs and Mills on board the Tay. The message must have been conveyed across the Mexican Golf by some American ship, end from New Orleans it was telegraphed to New York, and front thence mint across the Atlantic by the mail packet. Thera we, nothing in the news of the loss cf the Tay that warranted the slightest doubt of its troth. By the next mail packet (tom America, however, four days atter the termer one, news is brought that a war steamer Tartar announced that the Tay was at Tampico on the 6th nit., which was six dap after the 30th of August, when it was stated she was wrecked off Cape 8010. The two contradictory messages are reconciled by supposing that the statement that the Tay wee totally wrecked was owing to • mistake in conveying the message, end that after she went ashore she was got off and taken back to Tampico. There is some slight hope that the Toy is not wholly lost.

REMARKABLE SPEECH BY A RUSSIAN MERCHANT Among the feasts at Moscow by which the late coronation of the Czar was attended, was one given by M. Basile Rokoreff to the deputations of peasants and mer chants, assembled from the priecipel cities of Ramis. Id. Rokoreff was fo Tae,y a peasant, but is now one of the wealthiest merchants in Russia, and has made him self singularly popular throughout the empire by bie peruse genercaity and enthusiastic patriotism. The last occation upon which his name was brought promi nently before Ecglimb readers was in coenezion with a grand banquet given by him at Moscow to the soldiers and sailors returning from tee defence of Sebutopel. At the late dinner to the merchants he delivered a grouch suffi ciently remarkable to repay translation. The Russian papers think it equal to any of the efforts of Mr. Cobden or Mr. Bright. "It is not long slam (he said) that at this very place, Moe cow, the heart of the Russian nationality, the Muscovites f ted the welcomed and heroic defenders of Sebastopol. We were then cape sting peace, and were consoling ourselves with the hope et soon profiting by its happy results. To-day peace is no longer a hope, it is a reality ; and now again, In the same city of Moscow, we are celebrating, heart and soul, the holy oorocation of oar beloved monarch, the author of themece and so mazy other blessings. Here also are milted the representatives of the whole nation, as well as you also, gentlemen, the delegates of tour bourgeoisie. Lot us, therefore, manifest in unison the sentiments which we feel at the advent of these recent blessings. " Our gracious sovereign has been pleased to order that our children should henceforth frequent without any restric tion the University course. He has ordered the revision of tho relations between government and commerce ; and the revi sion of the tariff, which cannot fail to quicken our industry. All our relations with foreign nations are rendered easier. Hie Majesty has alto been pleased to auth reuse tho founda tion of an Industrial Society, under the direct patrcnege of the heir to the throne. Happy the people and grand its future when its princes apply themselves betimes to the tamed duty of learning its wants and study ing the aims of satisfyieg them ! Ludy, in the midst of all these events, the ' Society of Navigation and of the Com merce of the South and of Russia,' has been established, the aim of which is to expedite our relations with Europe, and to facilitate our exports and imports. " Russia hes always been able to confess her f►ults ar well as recognise her merits. Let us therefore frankly declarer gentlemen, that, in point cf commerce and industry, we are in many respects, rather behind. Oar merit at present consists in the desire to improve ourselves by intelligent practice. It is a fact that in the industrial life of a people, certain and complete meccas is less easily obtained ly the t►eoretical precepts el books then by a continuous contact with other people?. By this contact we acquire experience, ideas, taste, and establish new relations which are sure to be maintained because they rest upon common interests— the only stable securities for treaties of peace. In order to arrive at this end, the surest means is facility and rapidity of communication with foreign nations. The question of steamboats and railw,ye is at present a question of human interest, because it is by their means that nations can be united in a community of interests and in feelings of fra ternity. " In regard to commerce, there exists amongst us the most contradictory opinion. Some still speak of a Chinese wall ; others of free trade. But be certain, gentlemen,th at such questions are never resoeved by extremes : their true defini tions can only result from an international exchange of ideas. When by means of steam we shell be able to unite ourselves more closely with foreign merchants, more expert than we are in paint of induetry, and exchange with them our ideas, then we shall arrive at the exact and true definition of the very principles of commerce—a definition which is deeply Interesting to the whole of Europe. It will then happen that we shall see here in Moscow, the centre of the internal commerce of Ramis, as well as in the other cities and ports of the : enopire,•., representatives of the pri.e cipal commercial houses of Europe. We shall then be able to learn every day here in Moscow, and eta fixed hour, the progre's of business Ic Perim, Lendon, and other slams, and be able, when we era assembled as now, with the gl►ss in oar betide, to learn by telegraph the health of one shade's, who may be placed in foreign countries in RUOrillg houses of commerce. " When I review in mind ell the pregnant consequences which must infallibly result to nations Tram their union, by mesas of commerce—a union bared on Common interests—.l cannot refrain from proposing to you, gentlemen, to drink at once and umeolmously tr e following toast, To European commerce, to fore ga merchants, our elder brethren in industry, and to my honourable colleagues the merchants of liorsia.'" The abova was received by the company wish loud aid repeated " hurrahs." The personal appearance of M. K.,koretT, while delivering this, speech—his long beard and hair cuts to mouj lc., and his warmth of manner—did not by coy UMW lessen the effcet cf his words.
