The position of the Bank of England le daily becoming stronger; and the commercial demand for money, though active, is merely that usually observed at the close of the year. The impression is gaining ground amongst dealers in mosey, not merely that the highest point hes bean reached, bet that the existing rates cannot be maintained leech loafer. An ineritableresalt of this change in public °pinkie is an isereseed desire on the part of capitalists, small and great, to employ their money forthwith, lest they should lose the chasm of the market. Thus lug dated commercial paper, which only a few weeks ago could not be dim. counted, unless on very onerous terms, now commands in many quarters a pretense* over bills of shorter date. The evident tendency of this state of things is a farther decline in the value of money. So long u distrust prevail., coupled with uncertainty as to how high the rates of discount may rise, many moneyed people refuse to lend at all, except under such conditions as ensure them the power of immediately withdrawing their feeds. They cal culate, shrewdly enough, that they will secure a highly advantageous position in the market by keep hog their capital at command, at a time when the demands of borrowers are urgent and general. There are many who make a practice, when their judgment tells them that a period of monetary stringency is at hand, of turning into cash every description of joint stock and commercial security held by them, and awaiting the course of events. This wary policy doubtless tends to aggra vate the promote so long as it lasts ; but directly symptoms of a reaction become apparent, the down ward movement of the rates is greatly accelerated by the eagerness to lend shown by parties In this position. This seems to be the prominent feature of the market at the present moment, and we shall be surprised if it does not quickly lead to its natural result—a further decline in the rates of interest. An examination of the position of the Bank of Rag land will folly confirm the more cheerful view now I prevalent. Comparing the latest return with that lot the week ending the Ist of November, when the Bank terms were 6 yr cent. for 60 days, and 7 per cent. for 95 days bills, a sensible improvement is pre sented. The aggregate of deposits—Treasury and mother"—exhibits an increase of 541,4721.; whilst the total securities held in the banking de partment—Gavernrcent and "ether"--show the im portant decline of 1,760.7051. It is a favourable sign that 1,663,7311. of this latter sum is In the "other" securities, the total of which is now reduced to 17,389,7161., against 19,063,4481. on the let Nov. The falling off in this item becomes the more most. raging when we recall to mind the advanced period of the financial quarter, and also the fast that the Bank has resumed advances upon Government stork daring the shutting of the transfer books. Adding together the two sums above enumerated, viz., 541,4724 increase in deposits, and 1,760,7051. de ereese in securities, we have a total of 2,302,1771., which prima .1 arse may be regarded as indicating a positive increase in the Bank's means. ltsfeniag to the reserve of unemployed notes, we find an addition nearly equal to this sum. viz., 2,207,7154 the reserve standing now at the satisfactory figure of 6,161,3801. against 2.943,665/. on the Ist ult. The increase in the min and bullion is also important, amounting to 889,8711. It is symptomatic of the directors' con& dame in the gradual aubsidence of the relent pressen that the last return, extending to the 6'h inst., per mats a feature which has not been witnessed for many weeks. viz., an increase of 186,0001. is the Govern• meat securities. It is natural to infer that this sum represents Government stock pledged by the Bank in the Stock Exchange at the commencement of the late monetary derangement, and now withdrawn. Had the Bank left this stock in the market, it would have been compelled at the Stook Exchange monthly settlement of the 4th instant to pay some a or 7 per cent. per annum interest for the acoommodation ; and as the directors could sot employ at higher rates the money raised upon the stock, its withdrawal from the market wee a natural eaosequence. Future returns will probably exhibit farther additions under the head of Government ma- AG's, as the position of the institution becomes drawer, and its available means increase. In several well-informed quarters we even hear the sespicion expressed that the Bank has recently purchased stock is the open market. We are unwilling to impute blame unleu upon very positive evidence, and will therefore totems motives for die preseat to hinting that the public would view with deep disappeoba tioa any endue tampering with the stook markets. The Bank could not be permitted to mei its infonsation to came changes in the funds for its own profit. Were a system of this kind to be connived at, we might soon be subjected to the scandal of seeing the Bank buying or gelling in the market, to the loss of less favoured parties, and backing up itsoperatioseby alterations in the rates of discount. We must refuse to believe t►at the directors wilt attempt to employ in so questionable a manner funds which would be much more legitimately devoted to supplying the wants of commerce. Whilst the Bank of England has than materially strengthened its position, the Bank of France has also made progress in the same satisfactory direction. The increase, shown in the last return, of 1,388,0001. in the coin and billies, accompanied by a decline of nearly half a million sterling in the floating circula tion, proves that the immediate difficulties of the bullion drain have been to a considerable extent surmounted, and warrants the hops of a sounder state of the money market. But, above all, eon& dams must De inspired by the wholesome rigour with which the Bank has dealt with the Bourse. On the 12th of June last the aggregate of advances on Restos and railway securities was no less than 6,970,80 W. There has sine , been a continual reduction, and the total is now only 2,367,1001. In thus adopting, regardless of the appli cations of the Bourse, the advice tendered to it by all impartial observers, the Bask of France has shown more independence of action than most parties had looked for. The restrictive process has now been carried so far as to produce the expected favourable results, and the time seems to have arrived when some relaxation may be looked for. In so far es the Bourn is concerned, the directors will do well to keep the reins tight; but French trade requires assistance, and most persons would rejoice were BMWS/ in this mass to be immediately adopted. The Bank of France seems to be waiting for the Bank of England to move first ; and indeed we see no valid reason why the extraordinarily high rate of 61 per cent. should be longer maintained here. In this wealthy country, the best supplied with capital in the world, seven and even six per amt. is an unnaturally high value for money to bear; and expe rience proves that a very exceptional state pf things I I is required to maintain such extreme terms. The more re-securing aspect of monetary affairs in Fresco, despite the violent flosteations of the Bourse. which arise rather frost the monster operations of individael speculators, than from any legitimate scollop ; the more favourable movement of the Chinese exchanges, which has somewhat checked the Bow of lam to that qurter; and the recent fall in the price of silver in London, form satisfactory features. Doubtless large quantities of silver will continue to be remitted by each mail to the Bast. and, coupled with other influence., will tend to diffuse oar fresh supplies of gold over Europe, and to prevent money from becoming cheap. But, we repeat, the existing high rates cannot be much longer main tained, and a reduction may now be looked for from week to week. SOUTHAMPTON ELECTION. r, TUESDAY.

Dispatches IFIlf• seat to the Governors of the West ladles. have gone from house to hones to give a similar invitation, and the city has been illuminated accord. ingly. Over the images of the King and Queen in some public places, might have been seen the image of the Madonna, emblematic of the protection which she is supposed to extend over the royalty of Naples; bat warmth and enthusiasm there are none. The official journal will, of course, speak of the exultation of a loving people; but It is not so—nothing can be so cold or undemonstrative. It is a remarkable historic fact that this is the first attempt which has ever been made on the life of a sovereign of this country by a subject. Amidst changes of dynasties and changes of masters—continual revolutions and disturb ances the sovereign has always been re. spected by hie subjects—movements have taken Otos to the cry of " Viva it Re !" A lament able exception is to be found in the person of Ferdinand 11. Onos in his reign, in 1833, a eon spirsey was formed against the King's life, but it was discovered. The authors of it were two men called Rossatol and Lanciolotto. On the evening after the discovery the King went to the Intro Del Fiorentini, and great were the acclamations with which he was received. His Majesty was young then—his people looked forwards hopefully to the future, but that future has now been added to the past ; bitter disappointment has succeeded to bright hope, and nothing but the decencies of cold propriety have been observable on the present occasion. Later informa tion enables me to add that the Syndic and two other persons in the town in which Miteno resided have been arrested. According to strict law, whilst evidence, though inconclusive, was treasured up against him, he should not have been permitted to leave; but by some of those facilities so well under stood in this country, he appears to have procured his pass. and the sequel we have seen. ln Sicily the movement appears to be" suffocated" for the present, though no rational man would repre. sent the people as being tranquil or contented. From a man of gross adulation and absurd exaggeration in the official journal, I extract the following facts: Bentivegna—who attempted to agitate Me uainso,Villafrate, Ciminna, andVendniglia, burn ing the archives and emptying the public purse—has been taken prisoner. Some hundreds of the Guardia Urbana, under Cay. Parisi, were directed against him. At Cefalo, also, the movement has been pat down, troops having been dispatched under Lieut.- Colonels Marra and Ohio, as also some compagnies crannies from Palermo. Many surrendered, but many were taken prisoners with Bentivegns. Others are still in the mountains. Private dispatches say that Bentivegna was arrested in the commune of Carbone without making any resistance, and that he was brought into Palermo and placed in the prison on the 6th Dee. The investigation into the affair was still going on. Thus proteets,discontent, conspiracies, open revolution, and attempted assassination of the King, are the normal features in the history of this unhappy country. There is too much reason to fear that the system of repression will still be persevered in, spite of the inevitable and tremendous consequences which must sooner or later if remedial measures are not adopted. The Meru& of last night publishes an address from the cardinal to the clergy of Naples, directing a tridno to be observed in all the churches. It publishes also a royal rescript, with the regulations for the youth of Nelda, and which you must have rewind three days since. PIEDMONT.

FRANCE AND --4,-- THE " MONITEUR" ON THE QUESTION OF (IT lIIINMARINN AND 111111/1Z TISIIZAPI4 PARIS, WEDNESDAY MOILEINO. The Mom'four Katsina an article upon the ques tion of NenfehateL France demanded, it is said, at an early stage of the dispute the release of the prisoners, and represented that Swiss honour would not be oompromieed by this step, as it would ' be taken at the milititation of France, and not on the demand of Pried& This eatosseion became a sort of obligation, for Ffllllol4 in preventieg an appeal to arms, and making efforts to obtain from the King a settlement, conformed to the views of Switzerland. Unhappily these wise counsels were not appreciated; the advice of France was rejected by the Federal Government, which preferred gratifying the &ma rgin influences which agitate around it to follow ing friendly suggestions. The article includes in these terms :—" Thus Francs met with moderation, a sincere desire to ter minds a delicate question, and a courteous defer ence for her political situation, on the one side I on the other, on the contrary, an obstinacy mach to be regretted, an exaggerated susceptibility, mid a complete indiffennos to her counsels. Switzerland, therefore, most not be astonished if, in the coons of events, she should no longer find the goodwill which she might so easily have obtained at the cost of a very slight sacrifice." NAPLES. We have received three letters from our correspond ent at Naples, dated respectively the 6th, Bth, and the 11th. la the last—whieh we subjoin—allusion is made to a letter not yet received. NAPLES. Dia. 11. Oa reconsidering my report of the event which has awakened so great a sensation throughout the country, I have good reason to be contented with its pure corthenses. It (corresponds, at all events, with the spirit of the statement published by the official journal on Tuesday, though some slight ur ns:limn might be made, and additional facts oommonionad, which I now proceed to put you in possession of. It is worth mention ing that everything appeared so smiling and brilliant as to Whom the enervation from those around the King that the coup d'ail was one calculated to command the admiration of foreigner.. had so it reasonably might have dose, for besides die royal family and a considerable body of troops, illotlogaistied by the variety and beauty of their uni. hems. there wore present most of the foreigners in the emplial.and a vast crowd of persons either in carriages seem bet. The mass had bssa said, and the troops lees ling off before the King, who, mounted on bleisbaeky steed aloes about twenty feet distant from Imoillotoiy bobtail him was the Hereditary Prises, alum horseback. On his right, at a little distance behind as well, was the Queen with her pus bony. The 3rd Caociatori, who carry the rind ad bayonet, sow passed before his Majesty, When a man, the third on the left,: darted from the ranks, aid, raising his bayonet, aimed a blow at the left side of his Majesty. The direction was so stu died that, had the blow taken effect, it must have nn upwards through the body; but striking against the handle of the pistol, the bayonet bent, and gbasing off spied the side of the King, slightly weeded him. The as. was preparing for another liow—se we Worland to prevent him—when Lieutenant-Osismel Latoar, who had been sent on some order from his Majesty to another part of the field, returned jut in time to prevent the murderous intent, and riding hard upon him knocked the man down. The circumstances then took place which I have already described. Those who were only a short distance from themes knew net what had taken place : some left the Held in ignorance; her Majesty even was not aware till the affair was all over, so great was the presence of mind displayed by his Majesty, and so well executed were the orders to prevent any movement or disturbance. His Majesty even followed or accompanied the troops for some distance, chatting with several of the Swiss. Rc toren g to Naples he took a drive shortly after through the Weirs di Ogee, and received a petition from some one in the streets with much benevolence, though the petitioner was arrested immediately afterwards, not by royal command, and was in the Prefecture of Police on Tuesday at midday. Meanwhile some of the Foreign Ministers and the Ministers of State had gone to present their congratulations to the King, but in his absence were received by Prince Bisig nanothl, Maggior►Duomo-Maggiore. Others went to the palace daring the evening, but without seeing his Majesty, except Monsignor Buschenthal, the Minister of the Argentine Republic. His Ma jesty replied, on being asked the question, that he had been wounded very slightly. The soldiers of the 3rd Csociathei, on their return to barracks, were all put under arrest and examined. The prisoner was subjected to the examination, the result of which I have already stated. Ho is said to have added also that his family had been ruined by the expedition into Calabria under General None ante; that one of his brothers had been shot, and many of his relatives pat in prison ; and that he had sworn to avenge them on the canes of all his misfortunes. His only regret was that he should die without having accomplished his object. He is a man of surprising and firmness, and though in several quarters I hear that torture has been em ployed, nothing has bees elicited that I have heard of to compromise others. Originally educated as a past, he was, says the official journal, expelled from college, and since that time almost the one idea of his lite has been to accomplish the act, for attempting wick* he is now under arrest. In what way the government will proceed against him seems to be as yet undetermined. A niadioal man has been sent to mashie him, in the hopes of being able to prove insanity; but it seems to be reported that he is "saoio dei saviasirni." An other report, too, is, that the Ling desires to pardon him, but that those about him will not permit it. This sounds like a report got up by the police. The real state of the came is perhaps that hopes are entertained that by delay someimpor taut facts will be brought to, light. Every *aided and decent expression of a strong moist di► approbation of the orient of assassination has been given, but nothing more. People have taken off their hats and bowed profoundly, but not a voice has spoken, and them has been an utter absence of all enthusiasm. "No man cried,' God bless him." A triduo has been ordered for thanbngivinp to the Mamma foe having preserved the precious days of our input Lord the King; and the soldiers have been marched to church.

By the Journal de Conetantinople we learn that a Persian proclamation has been issued, accepting the war declared by England. . _ The same authority states that the Boglish have already taken possession of the Isles of Ormas and Karrsk. The Russian troops are concentrated on the Ames. Lettere have been received which allege that the %Milll intervention will be carried into effect as soon u Prince Buiatinski, the Governor-General of the Caucasus, shalt have been officially informed of the disembarkation of the English at Bushire. On the other hand, a letter from Bt. Petersburg, in the 36mm/sae of Hamburg, says . _ The statement made by Berm fOreign journal. of a convention having been concluded between Persia and Ramis, by which the latter is bound to assist the former, is completely unfounded. Neither is it Mae that there are Harlan officers In the service of Persia. The two officers, MIL. Halmstad, stated by the jouraels to be with the Persian army before Herat, are now in this capital, one in the Senate, and the other unemployed. The military movements made by Russia are solely confined so placing a corps of obsetva tiea oa the Persian frontlet. The Constantinople correspondent of the Conslilu• gonna, so far from agreeing with the correspondent of the P , that the negotiations between Lord de Radcliffe and Pant Khan are suspended until the latter shall receive fresh powers, says that all is arranged, Lord de Radcliffe having solemnly promised "to calm down the irritation of his Cabinet, and to make Lord Palmerston hear rea son," provided the Persian ambassador at Paris would give up his project of going thither; and Feruk Khan having, after long negotiation, accepted the stipulated condition. "Thus," says the Conetilu• tionnel," the affair is considered here as completely arranged, subject to the way in which it may be looked at by the French government." On the other hand, a telegraphic despatch of the Bth says that Feruk Khan is " almost agreed " with Lord de Mettle, that he is coming to Paris directly, and that matters of detail will be settled with the English ambassador on his return to Con stantinople. This reads like a confirmation of the account in the Press*, that he has been obliged to send for further instructions to Teheran, and is coming to Paris in the mean time. We must add, however, that last evening's Proses states in a pa renthesis aid without citing any authority, that Feruk Khan was going back to Teheran for further instructions himself. None of this intelligence is very reliable. The Manchester Guardian of this day says :—" We are sorry to learn, from a letter which lies been received by a mercantile bons* in this town, that a very disagreeable occurrence at Calton threaten" gime further trouble in that quarter of the world. The following is an waren from the letter, which M dated Canton, Oat. 17 :— ' °alba 11th fast. a lambs (or trading vessel), bearing the British flag, end registered at Hong Bung, was boarded by theorem of ajank bearing the imperial deg, and four of her men (Chinese) were taken into the city, when, it is 'aide three of them have been beheaded.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. WIWI OUR OWN COIN' PARIS, TI7I.BDkT EVIMIXO. The Emperor and the Prince of Prussia returned to Paris from Fontainebleau this morning. There was a white frost this morning unfavourable for hunting or shooting. Daring the prince's stay in Paris there will be a grand cavalry review at Ver. Nines. The Bourse has again been very downcast. The Rents fell 600. for cash, and 46c. for account, closing at 66fr. and 66fr. 30c. Mobilier fell 45c. The rail. ways were more depressed than they have been for some time. Mediterranean fell as much as 60fr,; Orleans fell 22fr. 50c.; Lyons, Southern, and Grand Central, 20fr. each; Eastern, Southern and Western, 10fr. each; and Northern, Mr. Marshal Coatellane, who has long been in command of the important garrison of Lyons, arrived in Paris this morning. General I)umontel commands in his absence, but it is said that the marshal will return to his post on the 21st. The great Univers libel case is, after all, likely to be tried. On the cause being called on this morning, merely as it was supposed to register the settlemect which was formally announced three or four days sinew, IH. Josseau, the counsel for the Univers, said there bad been a misunder. standing—that when the Univers proposed to withdraw from the prosecution it had supposed that the pamphlet " L'Univers jugd par lai was to be suppressed, but that the author, the Abbe Cognat, now declared that he never meant anything of the sort, and that his only intention was to dis. claim the injurious sense which M. Venillot, on the part of the editors of the Univers, had attached to certain passages. Upon this statement the cause was adjourned to this day week, when, unless an effective compromise be made in the meanwhile, it will be heard upon the merits. The extraordinary interest attaching to this case is explained by the fact that it is generally considered not as a quarrel be tween a journal and a pamphleteer, but as one be. tween the Ultramontane and Gallicsn parties in the church, the bishops of the respective persuasions being bottle holders to the combatants. M. de Balvandy, whose state of health has long given the greatest uneesineu to his friends, expired on Monday at his seat of Graveron, in Normandy. He retained to the last moment the full possession of his faculties, and was able to bid a most affecting adieu to all those who surrounded him—to his son, M.*Paul de Salvandy, to his daughter, the Marquise d'Aux, and to his wife. M. de Salvandy had a few days before received the sacrament from the Bishop of Evereux. The deceased was born at Condom on 11th June, 1793, and was consequently only sixty. one years of age. Only a very short time before hu death M. de Salvandy corrected, with a firm hand, the proofs of a new edition of one of his works. M. de Salvandy was for many years member of the French Academy, and was a leading politician in the time of Louis Philippe, under whom he wu, for a beg while, Minister of Pablio Instruction. The lesta tette, referring to the embezzlement cou mitted to the prejudice of the Credit Mobilise which I mentioned some days ago, confirms my statement that the society withdrew its complaint, bat the public prosecutor hes taken the affair up, and the case will follow its legal course. The amount embezzled is 147,000 fr., in shares of the Southern 1 1 Railway. THE PENINSULAR MAILS. Craom otat OWN (ST auscraic SOUTHAMPTON, WZDNZB DAT.. The Alhambra has just arrived with the Peninsula Mails. She has been anchored all night in the West Channel on account of a dense fog. She left Lisbon on the 10th inst. Amongst her cargo is specie to the value of 21,5001. Don Henriques Bomo, one of the richest men in Portugal, is dead. George Crofters, the Eng. lisbman who discovered the coal and iron mines in Batalha, has had his claim of fiat discoverer allowed by the Portuguese government. Indian corn is admitted into Portugal free of duty. Foreign ult can be imported at a dirty of ten reas per hundred pounds weight. The duty on vege- tables, coal, and firewood, is now nominal; vessels of all nations laden with cereals are freed from tonnage dues. The duty on fish is reduced. The English and Prussian squadrons are reported to be off the Rock. The cholera has ceased in Pot. togal. At Lisbon the operations in foreign exchanges have been limited. The rate of exchange on London fell to fifty-three for ninety days. A new vessel from Lisbon, bound for the Brazils, had been out two days, and bore up Irons stress of weather, when she touched on the shoals, which canoed her to leak. She was laden with wine and coke, and, the leakage causing confusion, she wu run on shore. All the boats of the fleet went to her assistance. THE UNITED STATES. The reports of the secretaries of the different de partments of the administration, and which accompany the President's Message to Congress, have been published. They are very lengthy, that of the Secretary of the Treasury, Ron. James Guthrie (the first in importance), extending over 11! closely. printed columns. They embrace the report of the Postmaster-General (lion. James Campbell), the Secretary of the Navy, the Secretary of War, the Secretary of the Interior, the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, and the Commissioner of Penelope. The Report of the Secretary to the Treasury on the finances of the United States' government for the year ending June :10, :NA shows that the balimmis hand at the beginning of the year was 18,931,976 dollar,. The receipts during the year wen—from the customs, 64 022,863 dollars ; from lands, 5,917,61 4 dollars; and hom miscellaneous or incidental wort% 977.633 dollars • the total receipts of the year be in g 73.918,141 dollars. The estimate of the total receipts of the year, in the Secretary's last report, was 67,918,734 dollars. The acted receipts, added to the balance in hand at the beginning of the year, have made up a total sum of 92,850,117 dollars available for the service of the year. The expenditure during the year was altogether 72,948,792 dollars, of which 23,274,330 dollars were for "civil service, foreign intercourse, and miscella neous," 3,872,826 dollars for "interior, pensions, and Indians," 16,918,196 dollars for the army, 14,077,04: dollars for the navy, and 12,776,390 dollars for redemption of the public debt, and for interest and premium upon it. The balance in hired left on the 30th of June lee, the end of the fiscal year, was 19,901,325 dole. The actual receipts for the first quarter of the next or now current year have been 21,923,431 dollars, and the estimated receipts for the remaining three quarters will give an estimated revenue for the whole of nett year amounting to 72,9 , 53,310 dollars, withoo l including the present balance in hand. The este mated expenditure for the year ending June 3001. 1857, being 70,511,413 dollars, and the estimated revenue, including the balance now in hand, beioll 92,856,636 dollars, it is expected that th ere will, at that dale, ' be a balance in hand of 22,345,222 dollars. Thisbalance,added to the estimated receipts for the year then er suing, will, it calculated, after defraying the estimated vlifiEc t " of that year, leave a balance in the Treasury of to feu than 49,993,710 dollars on the 30th of Jae, 1868. 1
