LONDON, 1771,11 DAT, NOVEMBER 10. Miter - nee we are ee am not to have a Reform Rill neat steel= depends entirely on the honesty, the fklelity, and the &Meditates of the Liberal party in the House of Commema. That the Cabinet has been nuking premodern ler, if it his not been yet actually espied in &swing up the outlines of a Rill. is quite certain. It is for the country and its representatives to say whether that measure shall see daylight in the course of the next six months. Lord PuLucaaru', having neither fixed principles nor sett led polity on domestic affairs, will, personally, only be too happy to ciespe creditably from the fulfilment et that pledge by which be recognised the expressed desire of the community for a better representation of the commons in Parliament at the last General Elec tion. On the occasion of the Dissolution he had been silent as the gray e on the subject ; his Cabinet nalleagars of the Lower House followed his example; and the subordinate members of the Government— al, dutiful a set as ever held inferior office—did as they were bid. Notwithstanding the presumed dexterity and timeliness of this attempt to cushion the question. it failed. Everywhere, is almost every sonetiteency, the subject of Parliamentary Reform was raised ; the necessity of farther progress was recognised ; and the prenliariry of the present House of Commons is, that not only all the Liberal members are bound to promote and support a men sere of Parliamentary Reform, but that a consider *hie portion of the Opposition professed a willing ness to consider such &measure favourably. What was tie consequence of the Dissolution ? That no esemer did the new Parliament meet, no sooner was it apparent that the Liberal party hul a much larger mejority than Nlinisters had anticipated. than Lord PALMERSTON put himself in accord with the majority, and solemnly and deliberately under took. in the approaching session, to give that majority an opportuaity of fulfilling those pledges which they had so largely contracted on the hustings. Lord PALMLIUITUNN undertaking was one of an absolute character. It was neither qualified nor reserved. It was given by • Minister who prides himself on being, per creel/ wee, a gentleman, to a body of gentlemen. It was accepted by the As em bly to which it was given in honour and good faith. All motions for partially eon- Uttering and debating the subject were dis couraged by the party, in consequence of the promp titude with which Lord PALMER-TON h►d recognised the necessity of its full dierussioe thereafter. Re turns calculated to assist in the study and preps- Taboo of • future measure were asked for and given. The Cabinet, on this understanding, received a support which notoriously it would not otherwise have obtained. The country was satisfied, and, beiug satisfied, was silent. This was the position I. which last melon left the question. In the interval that has since elapsed the Cabinet has, as Lord PALNIERATON promised it would, been considering the details of • measure. Bat now we are told by a journal whose conductors are generally understood to have considerable se am to ministerial sources of information, " that the " sabjeet of Parliamentary Refers will not stand " each dense sent session ;" and ibr the anticipa tion three nem ems eragned : 1. That so one but Lard loam Rrseatt has daring the reeves noticed er wisateassi the subject i 2. That Parliamentary Bane is Lard JOAII Reaates bobby ; 3. That India and Army Reform will wholly and exclusively capon the next seimism. Therefore, it is suggested, Lord PALMEILITWI will be able to shelve the qua ties, sad ought to evade his preen& That ability, we reply, drawee in the boassity. the fidelity, and the detenianatin of the Liberal party in the Hare of Cameras. If Lord PALMER supported by the Ti,'.,, tan make that party as indifferent to its avowed sad declared princi ples, opinions, and objects, as he apparently is to his preennie and obligations, then we shall have no Re form Bill. to its place, we shall have great lose of power and capacity of facer, iserfuleces to the Liberal party. But if the Liberal party be tree to Its PrisciPirs Ind its pledges—if it rise to the reamers of its future prorarais—if it sincerely de sire to rescue the government of this country from the brads sad posserion of • clam and • oast•—if it wish to acoomplish large administrative improve meats in India, in the civil government of this country, and is oar military system, and if, as the sole moans to severe all this, it is bent on a farther Reform in Parliament—it has osly to tell Lard PALIIIIMITON so, sad a Reform Bill will be fortheasiag. It is is hand. Its appearance or nesesppearasee deweds on the popular represen tatives The resporibility is theirs; the credit or the disgrace will be theirs.

We are in the midst of financial pressure which is producing wide-spread and alarming commercial ruin. The failure of export houses must soon tell on our manufacturing producers. Cotton is scarce and dear. Winter is approaching. The prospect of em ployment is heavy and lowering. No one can say how soon distress may overtake the working closes. Will that be a time to exasperate domestic suffering by political breach of faith and disappointment 7n► difficulties connected with Government con- trot over national education are strikingly exem plified in the recent events of Belgium and of France. King Leori.i.ii is at this moment without a Cabiset, and in the greatest perplexity to find one. And it will task e‘en that experienced =march's ingenuity to compose a Ministry, or persuade one to swept other, which can command a parliamentary majority. Belgium is like a boat that is over se long as the passengers packed in it remain completely tranquil, the vessel can be made to ti swiftly through the water; but if any of them who are tmlurked begin to grow restless, and to agitate, the balance is lost, progress rendered impos• sible, and all ►re in imminent danger of being swamped. It would be too tedious to look back far enough to recount the faults and extravagances by which the Liberal party in Belgium tint lost ground, and saw popularity pass from itself to the Clergy. SuAke it to say that such was the feet. And had the Clergy known how toexereise the powerandintluence which it thus acquired quietly, it might have indefinitely prolonged its reign. But, in au evil day, it under took to modify the existing system of education, so sa to augment, or indeed establish, its power over the ideas and opinions of the rising generation. 'lbis created general alarm. Public opinion was aroused, infiamed, aid could only be pacified by • withdrawal of the obnoxious measures. Popular re action, however, cannot stop half-way. And though it is some time since the clerical party attempted its innovations, the memory of them remained so fresh in the public mind that the municipal elections, in which the Clergy have such influence, went the other day completely against them. The Ministry, interpreting this as a mark of public reprobation, has resigned. As, however, the late Administration com mands a majority in the Clambers, it renders an oppo sition Ministry impossible without a dissolution. The Liberal party will, however, no doubt dissolve, get a majority, and form a Ministry which will have the disadvantage of not being on the best of terms with France. The chiefs will then be forced to satisfy the exigencies of their own party,and may thus, probably, in some set of educational legislation, arouse the clergy. They will agitate in their tut n, and in turn prevail, the retrograde and progressive parties thus alternating in power and neutralising each other. To set education free, in a country where it has been eentraliaed and made an affair of administration, is u difficult as to establish such a system in countries where it has never prevailed. Stec education, therefore, must continue to subsist in Belgium as in France. But it will always remain a fertile source of quarrel and of instability amidst the workings of system. If we turn from Belgium to France, there, too, the Department of Public Instruction has been the moat difficult to deal with. Last week, the Chief of that Department opened the great Normal School, alter its complete reorganisation, with a solemn speech. In this the Minister admitted the average amount of literary and scientific acquirements in students to have seriously diminished. The culti vation of the intellect is not priced or practised as it used to be. It would be very easy to account for this fact, by showing that intellectual profes sions are defunct in France—that the Bar, that Journalism, and that the University, as free and liberal careers, no longer exist. Why cultivate an intellect which Can only be employed or enjoyed in the solitude of the closet? But the average of scientific education has decreased also, admits the Minister, although scientific education has been as much favoured ma literary education has been sought to be depressed. The bet is that Absolutism presses upon and extinguishes all education alike—that which it favours se well as that which it proscribes. The Imperial Government seem to have the desire to arrest this downward movement. The peas& Minister of Public Instruction is a more liberal man than his predecessor. Under NI. FORTOUL it was to be feared that the Church would swallow up the University, and that theological studies and professisna would supersede philosophical studies altogether. This has been somewhat checked. But the Imperial Government is not yet oat of the track into which it first struck. It may desire to restore a certain degree of liberal sad secular education, but it will find it impossible. Without restoring freedom to the professorial chain, no each men as Couch, VILLEIRIN, or Gullet will be found to fill them. The present Govene recut, too, remodels everything, and pulls dews institutions with as little remorse as it destroys 'I streets and whole towns. The College de Francs flourished by the right which it powered of elect. ing its own professors. The College de Prose h. ' been remodelled Government hes monopolised t►e appointments. The popularity, the power, the in. autism, and even genius of the institution, have is consequence disappeared. The Sorbonne have sa bred an tpurats,n of the same kind. Government can pat any professor on the invalid list, and ap point a orppleatu to his place. Last week it was the turn of the Polytechnic School, where young Frenchmen are educated for the Artillery and Engineers. There his always been a taint of liberalism in this /school. The object is to eradicate it. It his been, oonsequently, re-modelled. The military students are to be separated from the civilians, and be subjected to a quite different rigisae. Clever scientific professors have bees chosen. But the new chief of the school, M. NIAARD, is, though a gest.rate Latinist, a most unpopular character, of a kind which a young Artillery oSicer is least likely to I respect. The result, instead of that aimed it, vin., to attach the officers of the Army to the Imperial Government, will, on the contrary, have rather the effect of creating early disgusts in the breasts of the very Rile and intellect of the French military. The French Government, however. may always plead, in behalf of its exercising supreme control over education, that if it waived such a right and such a duty both would be taken up by the Church, and that consequently education a ould become even lead liberal than it isatpresent. Witness the immense retrogradation which has befallen schools and coi lloges is Austria.

(RON 0111 OWN PARIS, MONDAT ErfatlNG. The financial crisis now excites intense intererit. There is such a vehement outcry against any further augmentation in the rate of discount by the Bank of France, that although the Bank of Eng land has this day resolved upon charging 10 per cent. (!) I have a very strong opinion that this bank will stay at 71 per cent. It appears to be the general opinion that no conceivable rise in the rate of interest would suffice to remedy the evil, and French financiets arc therefore beating their heads to discover some mode of preventing the oozing out of the precious metals which would be leas dis t:suing to trade than en approximation to the Bank of England rate of discount, which in this country is viewed with positive terror. All that the Bank of France has hitherto donee to scrutinise with extreme vigilance every bill presented for dis count, and to reject all that are suspected to be tainted with exchange operations. But this, too, is Alt to be a wholly insufficient measure. The cir cumstances of the times are such as to put bullionist theories toe severe trial. If it be true, and it is indeed difficult to contest the truth of the proposition, that gold and silver are merely articles of merchandise, like any other, the fact is now painfully apparent that a country, while essentially rich and pros perous, may by possibility be drained entirely of the precious metals by an extraordi nary demand for them elsewhere. The ques tion therefore forces itself upon men's minds whether a paper currency under the guarantee of the state may not be safely substituted for gold and silver—at least for a time. Although it is understood that the Emperor strongly sets his face against a forced cur rency of Bank of France notes, hopes are enter tained by many that he will be constrained to re consider his opinion. The proposal to put an export duty is still upon the tapis, but is not in so much favour as it was two days ago. It is felt that the measure is bad in principle and difficult in practice. This evening's Petrie contains a leading article, signed by the proprietor, M. Delarnarre, which, if not important, is at least pretentious, and which some people are inclined to regard as a shadow of coming events. M. Delamarre, after reviewing the situation, and laying down the maxim that none of the measures proposed to protect the bullion would be sufficient to relieve commerce, unless accompanied by a considerable diminution in the prevent rate of discount, boldly proposes the following remedies for the crisis : Three measures ought to be taken at once .-1. A forced currency of bank notes, together with an issue of 50fr. notes [at precut no notes of a lower amount than 100 fr. can be Issued), pursuant to the powers reserved to government by the law of June 23, Itis7. 2. A sufficiently high duty upon the exportation of specie, with severe customs and police meseures to discover and punish all attempts at fraud. 3. Lastly, and as a necomary part and troltdpensable comple ment of them exceptional and transitory measures, the dis count of the Bank of France shovid be isatocffiately re duced to three per cent. _ . If this plan were tillowci (the ratrit continues), nobody would have cause fur complaint. Commerce would find abundantly at the Bank the capital of which it stands ie seed. The epeculaton in the exportation of the precious metals would find it very difficult to send them out of the country, and they would no loner be supplied with them at the Bank of France. The Bank cellars would rouble an amount of bullion proportioned to the circulation of its notes. Money would be to be had at • reasonable rate, for it is evident that money is not really worth mum in France at this moment than 6 per cent.; and tho proof of this sasettion is that in vestments are made every day at the Bowie is railway obligations, which do not yield or much. If them com bined measures should be adopted, France may calmly con template bankruptcies in other rountries without bar own commerce brag injured or her prosperity interrupted. The Bourse opened with a certain degree of buoy ancy under the impression that the news from the United States by the Atlantic was on the whole so favourable that the Bank of England would not ad vance its discount beyond the enormous rate of 9 per cent. But when the telegraph brought the news that 10 per can thad been thia morning resolved upon, there was a smart downward movement, though not per haps so great as might have been expected. The Rente, however, felt 23c. for cash and 30c. for ac count, closing at 60fr. 36c. and 66fr. 73c. Mobilier fell 7fr. 30c. The Orleans and Lyons Railways fell 7fr. 50e. each; the other lines not more than from 26. 60c. to 6fr. BELGIUM. The resignation of the Belgian cabinet is &did tha. It will nevertheless remain in power until the constitution of the liberal cabinet now in course of formation. The King has consented to the dieso lution of the Chamber, and also to the diseoletion of the Senate, if thought necessary. The following is the presumed list of the new ministry : M. Rogier . Foreign Affairs. N. Frere Orban M. Teich M. Vanden Peereboom Public Works. General Berten War. It is said that M. Orta refuse' the Ministry of Justice. GREECE. A letter from Athens of the 29th states that the Queen of Greece on reaching the Pincus, wee re ceived at the landing place by the ministers and the authorities, and welcomed by the crowd with loud acclamations. Her Majesty was conducted by the King to an elegantly deoorated tent, where the clergy offered up prayers of thanksgiving for her safe arrival. Their Majesties then entered an open carriage drawn by six horses, and proceeded to Athens under the escort of a detachment of cavalry. At the entrance of the capital a triumphal arch ornamented With garlands of flowers and flags, had been erected, and near which the different corporate bodies, with their banners displayed, were drawn up, and all the streets leading to the palace were il luminated, many of the windows being ornamented with transparencies. One of them represented the meeting of the Emperors at Ststtgardt, and her Majesty is represented pointing to the map of Greece, as if calling for the kind solicitude of those sovereigns towards that country. On the following evening her Majesty went to the theatre, which was illuminated d yiortio. THE PRINCIPALITIES.

THE BALTIC. A letter from Hamburg, of the 7th inst., in the Inderendaser 8.0., states that, on that and the preceding day, there was a regular panic on the Stock Exchange. There was a fall in every descrip tion of stock, as also on all bills of exchange. Bills on France, Belgium, and on the commercial marts of Germany and England were unsaleable at the usual three months' date. There is great want of specie. The financial crisis was also beginning to be felt in Sweden and Norway, and money was becoming scarce. The amount of German bills drawn for merchan dise of every description, and protested, amounted on the 21st October to nearly 1,000,0001. sterling. Since then the Vanderbilt has brought protested bills, between the 21st and 24th October, to the amount of 200,0001. to 240,0001. more. • UNITED STATES. The New York Courier and Enquirer of the 28th Nye: TM demand for bills on Europa yesterday and to-day is quite light. The rates are favourable enough to remitters, but the extreme scarcity of money disables most persons ham purchsaing. The indebtedness of our merchents to England, France, and Germany is nseessarilydefened in large amounts, and at the same time heavy remittances of gold from abroad are anticipated at this port. Bankers' bills at 60 days on London to-day are abundant at 105 to 106. Good commer cial bills from Southern cities, well-known dgnatures, are freely offered at 100, equivalent to 9,1 discount. Some re lief is looked for in this market from the promised ship ment, of coin from England. It would be better for us to rely upon our own domestic resources, and not add to the diaterbanee which is feared in Western Europe. The queetieu of the mapenalun of the Bank of England and Bank of France is assessed freely in financial circles here, and each an event is by some looked upon ea of slight moment. We cannot, however, but consider such an event as e public calamity--one that would work irreparable injury to the commercial world, and do no possible good to any parties whatever. It is for this reason that we hope the beaks in England and Franca will be fully sustained, and that the export of coin to the United States will be less than is gala/rally mentioned. New York will be looked to hereafter, a heretofore, as the pivot upon which redemption will rod. A wise, conciliatory, concerted movement on the part of the banks of this city will, it adopted, relieve our merchants and strengthen the farmer. There were rumours to-day of several additional failure*, but they were not authenticated. Extension is the order of the day, and one windy agrmd upon by creditors generally. There are very few homes that have not found it necemary to ask and to take time on their liabilities. The west and south in turn exact the same indulgence from New York. The former will be able to discharge their liebilities by means of the largo crop of the year ; the south will realist lees from the new crop of cotton than we. anticipated. It is con ceded that a heavy decline must occur in the market value d throuehont Europe, and that manufacturers will requite a more limited supply than heretofore. Gold was recently in pressing demised, but hoe now become a mere drug, heavy in the market. The brokers are paying one-half per cent. pre mium for limited sums, but this premium is nominal. Large amounts are offered at the lame rate end rejected. In Phila delphia, exchange on New York ia quoted 3; to 4{, premium, end drafts on Baltimore 3to 4 discount. There is no reason for this discrepancy, than is no variation in the brokers' rates for time Lilts ; unexceptionable paper at 2M 4 months is freely offered at 2 to 3 per cent. per month, paper that would, under ordinary circumstances be acceptable to the banks, and which they could now take with advantage to themselves. At laat the money comes out of the banks, for every bill dim eounted at the brokers lessens the bank depoeita. The Mock =Abet to-day showed a decidedly buoyant feeling, and most of the sales were nude at a Lege advance on the quotations of the peat week and of yesterday. VIZ LADIES OP 41115104 Alf? THE 17.1.14 - - old - L - 11V&18Toirt (From the New York Herald. The knights of old were in the habit of wasting a great deal of valuable time by defending at sword's point the mutation of some particular damsel to whom they inclined. Tbe Chevalier Cushing goes further, and enters the list to do kettle for ell the lodise. He declares that they are not at all re asonable for the prevent financial revulsion; that their flounces and furbelows are only a bagatelle in the question of rep rts sad imports; that their crinoline did not stop the Erie Railway ; that their silks did not break the Ohm Life and Trust Company ; that their kid gloms and Lilliputian bon nets had nothing to do with the stoppage of the great dry goods house. ; and, further, that their style of dress is quite the correct thing in every way. And be, the said Chevalier, ma►es public proclamation that be will defend thin issue after the good old chivalric custom. Hear yo, all men : the Che valier, wined at all points, his vizor dOwn, his lance In rest, await■ the combat. The Knight of Salamanca again is in the fold, Now, we do not yield to any man in devotion to the fair rox, but we are bound to say that nearly all our country women who have money or credit, or could obtain either, have been for several years shamefully extravagsat ; that they are almost entirely impossible for the excessive im ports of articles of luxury, which imports hare drained oar specie reserve and loaded down our warehoutas with articles which are of no earthly use; and that they are even now spending too much money for articles they do not need, but which they buy simply on acootutt of a decline in price. Let us wit) tho figure* . . . . The total liilir of the imports for the firs] year ending June 30, 1856, was 314,639,942 doh., of which, for articles of luxury coneumed by women, se hare 'pent 43,624,558 dole. Forty-three millions of dollars.

Thee is • little item of 42,000 dole. fire perfumed soap, which is quite • good index to the whole thing. Again, It must be resembered that these figures are taken from the Treasury reports, and that the articles ere valued at soros- I thing under the wholesele rate, while our fair countrywomen are charged upon all such matters u lane at least 100 per cent. profit. A set alarm which cost in Paris 20 dots. could not be bought here in flush times for less than 60 dots. It should further be remembered that 20,000 or 30,000 of oar women either !ride abroad or go to Europe nearly every summer. no amount of rich eats—silks, mains, velvets, shawls, sad jewelry—which they ran through the Carrut hers his is something ettorroone—not lee. than 1,000,000 doh. s-year; sad ell luxuries dad the slightest ms to my body on the is of the meth.

Let not the Chevali, Cushing took a the vulgar display made at Saratoga, Newport, or C . 7 4 14:4 and compare it with the modest attire of the at Baden, Brighton, or Biarritz. The fact Is. our women take French !orate fashions at second hand, and were they a attired in a European city they would be taken for what they seem to be rather than what they are. We trust that both the women of America and their champion will think seriously of the., things, for they are the truth, and just now we must drink the cup, however bitter it may be. We do not believe that there is anything radi cally wrong In oar women ; we are willing to behove, with the sage of Newleauport, that any one of them, were she wordy instructed, would be " as prompt to pleas by fru , gahty as by luxury, and proud to make any sacrifice of on at the voice of duty and love." We believe that many women in the land will make this sacrifice cheer fully, f:r ° : l he sex is quick enough in perveption and prompt enough in action. We hope they will all remember the lesson they are now learning but we cannot sincerely say that we believe in the working of any such miracle.

SUSPENSION OF THE WESTERN BANE OF 6Glfl'Ld 1. GLASGOW, Nov. 9. The Western Bank of Scotland suspe . nded pay. mint at two o'clock, at which hour the doors at the head taco and branches were closed. Although to some extent looked fur the suspension ham caused great dismay. The beak did an immense business in Glasgow, and had about a hundred branches scattered over Scotland. Its depceits are vary Inge, amounting, it is said, to between five sad NW talons sterling. There cannot be any eventual loss se the proprietary contains many of the wealthiest men in Scot land, some of whom are believed to be worth about a million starling. The directors Lave put forth a statement to the effect that circulars will be immediately issued to the creditors comma- Riesling details and suggesting measures to be pursued, which, with forbearance and calm self-possession on the part of the public, may avert many of the calamitous effects which would otherwise result from such a catastrophe. There is scarcely another bank in Scotland (they add) which, If time is allowed by the creditors, is so well able to draw upon the reroutes of its wealthy proprietary. The holders of the notes of the bank am enjoined not to pert with them at a discount, as full ultimate payment is certain. NEW NA7OIB.
