NEARLY IPIPIE7II.IIIII.I I Hrd in business has found his an:emits fie sine may affected by the recent finan aal conwasise. The effects of the state of the money market have been brought home to every mane door. For this reason the debate on the currency question of Friday night has attracted universal attention. The lucidity, judgment, and absence of prejudice displayed in the remarks of Sir 0. C. Lewhi have raised him greatly in the estimation of the commercial world. But, whilst paying the CH OirELLOR of the EXCHEQUER this well-deserved tribute, we cannot refrain from expressing disappointment at the narrowness of the point of view from which, if we may judge from the general symptoms of parliamentary acquiescence, this momentous currency question is doomed to be regarded practically. The Bank Charter Act is irretrievably damaged ; all its prestige is utterly gone ; for twice have Government been compelled to authorise the Bank to drive with loose rein through the most important of its provisions. Yet scarcely any one member of Parliament was bold enough to call in question the utility of a law which upon each occasion of trial has been had migoally wanting; all parties were apparently agreed that, though repeatedly set at naught, it is still to be maintained. Ministers isolate that they are not prepared to being !meg any proposition beyond that merely Memel ewe, the Bill of Indemnity; and the quotas= sots. ally mind are restricted to these—First, is a Telesis,/ power to be es grafted on the Act ? and, secondly, is the Committee of Inquiry of list session to be re. appointed? We will not stop, here to ask whether it is owing to defects in oar representative system that the House of Commons thus tamely follow, like a dock of sheep, the few speakers who la that numerous assembly are alone deemed competent to grapple with this important subject; although this result is, in our opinion, clearly attributable to the fact that the commercial element is utterly subordinated to the legal, military, bureaucratic, and landowning interests, whose representatives consti tute the great majority of the }loose ; many of whom know about as much of the practical working of our currency system as they do of Hebrew. Pawnsg by this point far the present, however, it is instructive to glance at the evidence afforded on every side that men who have hitherto been steadfast believers is the virtue of the Bank Charter Act are grievously shaken in their creed, now that they have had sash an excellent opportunity of observing its mode of action. Lord Jons RUSSELL, foe instance, whilst somewhat guardedly agreeing in the general prin ciples of the Act, confines himself to • vague ream- I mendation that it should be tried for ten years more. From his mentioning this period it is fair to assume that his lordship entertains • mis giving that the termination of another decode will find the Act again in • state of suspension. Can the united intelligence of the country suggest nothing better in the shape of • monetary law than one which is only made to be abrogated ? Is not Eng land going through a solemn mockery in the sight of nations when she re-enacts a law which is to be violently broken through as soon as its pre sure is felt ? One of the most important and fortunate results of the late crisis is the general acknowledg ment that the Am ham had • fair trial ; in only one quarter is • &operate assertion to the contrary ventured upon. In 1647 the supporters of the Act threw blame upon the Bank Directors, who, they contended, had not tarried out the prin ciples of the eyries in their integrity. In 1837, however, everybody concurs in praising the calm am, tamper., and judgment which the administra tors of the Rank have evinced throughout the crisis. And so patiently did the mercantile community bear the daily increasing pressure, that, is the CHANCIII.- We of the Excneutea expressly declares, Ministers suspended the Act solely on their own responsibility, enuolicited by deputations or by the Bank Directors. Yet to what a pass had affairs arrived whilst the commanity were displaying such exemplary patience and fortitude' We have not been back ward is drawing attention to the perilous position of lnaneial matters, and in urging the instant adoption el the only possible preventative of a general crash ; tut it any justifestion of our conduct be needed, it is' afforded by the deliberate remarks of Sir 0. C.' liEwts. Though speaking with& degree of restraint which seem& well with the still unsettled state of the public mind, the CH \,141,1.11.11 of the Eichorn ea points set that there was a " general cessation of all "dlsorrantiog, except by the Bank of England," that the total mane of notes held by the Bank—the i "only establishment in London at which discounts " could take pace,"—on the day before that on which the Treasury Letter was issued was less than • million, this being the sole fund out of which the Bank could meet the claims of depositors (taking only the "other" deposits, to the amount of thirteen millions ; and that under the regular operation of the law, the Bank " mese. "at the time when the letter was issued, have " entirely stopped their diaconate." Let our renders imagine the consequences, remembering that every other monied establishment had previously omeni discounting. let them imagine a universal sespow Am et mercantile payments throughout the esemtsy. d log of the public upon every deposit-holding teak is the kingdom, • consequent rush of the London joint-stock banks to draw out their enormous deposits in the Bank of England, and the stoppers of the Bask of England Welt; for how weld that establishment pay its deposits' Let thus then imagine a rush for gold in Scotland, Ir•- land, and the provinces, and the Bank of England. brought to • suspension of spi per:lento throstlb the direct operation of a haw which vie designed to place such a contingency teyond the sounds of pos- sibility. We will not dwell upon the incalculable ruin endemism which would have ensued; we would not even have indicated thus far the contingencies which were brought within arm's reach; were it not that a portion of the press is still so mad as to urge the future enforcement of the Bank Act without say relaxation, and that a millionaire leer rises in his place in the House of Leeds to declare publicly hie regret that the Act was relaxed. It is well that these instances of un patriotic recklessness and blind adherence to a theory stand in solitary relief ; for the anger of the nation might be kindled in a dangerous degree were it to be long troubled with the complaints of a clam whose professions, on behalf of a principle, are regarded by many as ill concealing bitter disappoint ment at the vanishing of grand opportunities for making money. The realisation of the hopes of the grasping capitalist could not be attained except through the destitution of millions of workpeople. The with& views of the monied class received due castigation from Mr.Otvx, who, on Friday night, after premising that the limitation of the note issues was a primary calm of the late alarm, boldly, and like a worthy representative of commerce, main tained that any Cabinet which attempted to carry the Bank Act through to its strict conclusion would " be speedily hurled from power, not by any vote of " the Heave, but by the physical force of the " anatay." elit Court. .-..,.•••, WINDSOR, SATI 'DAT.

We shall have nine priests in the new Chamber, and one of them a monsignore. Forty or more wealthy middle-class men, who have not been re elected, are superseded by titled members of the nobility, almost all of whom are sent to parliament by the clerical party. That party now, therefore, raises a note of triumph ; the Armenia, the Univers, and other ultra-catholic journals, cackle with exulta tion, and are confident that they shall be able to lead the country along with them, docile and obedient to their direction. The Armenia said the day before yesterday, " Either you shall govern together with us, or we will govern without you." But the less fanatical portion of the clerical party does not share this great feeling of security, and continues to talk of moderation and conciliatory measures. This more moderate section regrets the admission into parliament of reckless and extreme men, such as the priest Don Margotti, the Canon Ponzetti, the Marchese di Bi mg°, and their like ; it would rather that Count Revel should be acknowledged by the entire Right party as their head, and that their utmost efforts should, therefore, be employed to secure his return to parliament, and make up for the sudden rebuff which has been administered to him by the seventh electoral district of Turin, whose representative he had previously been. But the " Armoniosi," as the out-and-out clerical party are here called, recognise as their leader and their standard-bearer the Count Solaro dells. Margherita, who has been elected, in deed, by four constituencies, besides obtaining a great many votes in several other districts. He is an honest and sincerely religious man, but in his princi plea and opinions at least five centuries behind his age. With scanty knowledge and an intellect beneath mediocrity, it is matter of astonishment that he was ever enabled to remain for fifteen years at the head of Piedmontese diplomacy. Under his Ministry the Jesuits became the very soul of the State, whilst a relentless war was waged against the press and against every liberal and Italian idea. In his own writings he himself confesses, with laudable sincerity, that he opposW to the last the national sentiments entertained by Charles Albert, and his notion of be stowing a representative government upon the peo ple. Re is now old and getting weary of it, so that he gives way to constitutional usages and forms, but with as little relish as if he mingled with a set of youthful fops in their dances and flirtations. In the Chamber he sometimes reads, with all the emphasis of a sermon, written speeches, the princi ples of which are those of Bellarmine, and the effect produced by which most frequently is that of • pro longed fit of merriment, finally joined in by himself; but notwithstanding this, the Univers takes care to publish a translation of his harangues, accompanied by superlative praises. It remains to be seen whe- , ther in the new Chamber he will be able to under take the duties and to assume the gravity and im portance of the leader of the party ; and whether all the Right party will combine to recognise him as such. It is' very desirable that the party should commit such a blunder. In the meantime, Count Solaro dells. Margherita has put forth a sort of pro fession of faith, in which he declare' that he accepts the Constitution if it be properly understood and in terpreted, and protests that he has not the least notion of endeavouring to obtain a change in the form of government. The present form of govern ment, he says, is legal, because it has emanated from the will of the Sovereign, which is enough, for those who acknowledge, as he does, the principles of the " right divine." For the rest, he speaks of liberty and free institutions in so restrained and awkward a manner, that it is evident such words are not his own language ; he might as well try to speak San scrit or Chinese. A few days since, in consequence of Count Selopis and the President of the Tribunal vigliani, having had a long interview with Count Cavour, some of the journals circulated a report that it was intended to give portfolio* to those two personages, who hold opinions akin to those of the Right Constitutionalists. I am in a position completely to deny this suppo- sition, and I can repeat to you of my own certain knowledge, that the Ministry is very far from think ing of any reconciliaion either with the clerical party or even with that other party which is led by Count Bevel. A. Ilso ars against the Bank Charter Act may be sally mused up. It is susceptible of positive proof that in easy times the obligation imposed upon the Bank of purchasing at a fixed pricy all the gold pre- seated to it has a powerful tendency to encourage illegitimate speculation ; and that in anxious times the Act precipitates panic, and, if rigorously car ried out, would absolutely strangle the trade of the country, end bring the Bank itself to a suspension. And yet we are told the system is not to be altered ! If the law is to be maintained, it would of course be some improve ment to introduce a relaxing power into the Act. As the law must be abrogated upon each occa sion of severe pressure, let the abrogation be brought about constitutionally; in the name of public mo rality, let not Ministers stand forward es law breakers. But even this relaxing power will not mace to prevent panic, for the public will be always dubious ss to the point at which Go vernment will consider themselves justified in interfering. Hence, when the Bank's reserve falls dangerously low, there will be the same rush to ob tain the few notes that remain. In 1647, the rate of interest had reached 8 per cent. when the Treasury Lotter was hard, and in 1837,10 per cent. Uponthe next occasion the public will be apprehensive that the rate will be allowed to p to 12 per cent, and they will rush for money, beard it, and aggravate the general position just the sear as they did lest month. Upon all these grounds the Act of 1844, either with or without a relaxing power, stands convicted of being both useless and mischievous. Why not abalish the whole of the cumbrous machinery which clogs the operation of the Balk of England? Why not secure the con vertibility of the note by miens far simpler, and se ceding with natural principles ? 718172105L1L To CEOROZ BARCLA r BRUCE, ESQ.

UNITED STATES. Crum orx owx comas/woolen.) LIVERPOOL, SONDAY, By the arrival of the British and North American Royal Mail steam-ship Arabia, Captain James Stone, which entered the Mersey this evening, we have dates from New York to the 25th ult. inclusive. The Arabia brought 115 passengers, and upwards of a million of dollars in specie. The Atlantic arrived at New York on the 22nd. The news from Europe had a depressing effect on all branches of commerce. Money abundant, and could be obtained at 8 to 7 per cent on call ; stocks active, but tendency down wards. Cotton was tunhanged in value. Bread. stuffs heavy, and closed at easier rates. Provisions were dull, and prices drooping. Freights to Eng lish ports merely nominal. A despatch reached New York just before the Arabia sailed, dated from New Orleans on the 24th, which says that the news just received there from Vera Cruz and the City of Mexico represented the country as in a most distracted condition. Another resolution was impending, and the revolutionists were negotiating with Santa Anna for president. Twenty-three political exiles had arrived at New Orleans by the same steamer, including ex- President Silas Jose Washington, Colonel Romero, and William Moran, editor of the journal called the Mexican Extraordinary, who was imprisoned for publications against the Governor of Zacatecas. Comonfort's fall was considered certain, and his life was thought to be in danger if ho remained in the country. In the New Orleans market on the 24th cotton was irregular. The sales were 8,500 bales, mostly at llie. for middling. The receipts up to the previous day were 21,000 bales. Sterling exchange was at 103 to 104. Flour was dull. Sugar was quiet, at 4lc. to 50. Crum ova owx NEW YORK, Nov. 21. The Adriatic, which sails this noon for Liverpool, is the largest steam-ship afloat, and her friends con fidently expect her to excel all others in speed. On her trial trip she made the beat time ever made by an ocean steamer. She will be the object of wonder and admiration to our English neighbours if she cross the Atlantic with safety. All doubt about Mr. Buchanan's course towards General Walker is dispelled. He is determined to break up that expedition, and he certainly has the power to do it if he will. The President is equally resolved on the chastisement of the Mormons. The force at present on its road will go into winter quarters in Utah, and be pre pared to take the field early in the spring, when it will be joined by an efiloent fore to crush the rebellion. In these matters Mr. Buchanan has dis played all the firmness and decision which the exi gency called for, and more than his friends expected. Things have again taken an unfortunate turn in Kansas. The pro-slavery party are determined to drive matters to extremes, and force slavery upon the people of Kansas. It can never succeed ; but it may ' protract the reign of anarchy and bloodshed in that anhappy territory. Governor Walker is shortly expected at Washington, and it is not believed that ' Mr. Buchanan will lend his countenance to the base designs of the pro-slavery fanatics. The course of the Constitutional Convention at Lecompton is condemned by all the democratic journals friendly to Mr. Buchanan, and the procdavery party can expect little favour from Congrem. Bat they will not give up their plans so long as a shadow of b remains. The new pro-slavery constitution will 6~ laid before Congress as soon as it meets, wh at another violent discussion is expected. Bat WI these agitations and debates never would h i , weakened the institution of slavery so effectually had not the wrongs and outrages of the pro-slave r y party in Kansas inflamed so deep an Indira*. throughout all the free states. In the midst of d i serious embarrassments and misfortunes which hi ll fallen upon the country, and the dangers that threaten us in the future, there seems to be s t o }, ing of great and growing confidence in Mr. Back. nan and his administration.

The Courrier de Paris, under the somewhat startling heading in these times of " La Presort Con stitationelle," announoes, in courageous and dignified language, its intention to adopt henceforth a new line of politics, based upon the change made in the situation by the fact of the three opposition members, MM. Uarimon, 011ivier, and Hinon having taken the oath, This article, coming immediately after the suspension of the Prone, is so curious as a sign of the times, that I think it right to send it you word for word. _ • The Presm, which from 18.52 to 18.56 had escaped the peril of enegenama, has now been suspended for two months on •eoomt of an article In which that journal blamed the refusal althea& by MM. Carrot and,Goudchaux inter= to which we erinkl add nothing, and approved of the conduct of MM. Darla" 011ivier, and Itasca, in taking the oath marital by Art. 14 ef the constitution, which oath is couched In these Isms I swear obedience to the coosanika and fidelity to the Emperor." It were idle to dray that to take the oath, without which no man can take his met in the Corps logialetif, is to recognise Impliadly the oomtitu tion of that body. To recognise the Corps Logis. lad! is, by mammy induction, to recognise the constitution of 1851, and to recognise the constitution of 1852 le to recognise the constituent power of 18.51. The entranced MM. Darimaa. 011ivier, and Hawn into the Corp Legialatif, Is, therefore, the starting point of a new line of policy, which may be described isthmus terms :—Liberty by the constitution, liberty by the elections, liberty by universal adze" and finally, liberty by constitutional opporition. Voices and their elect have alike considered that the time hes can to Written • constitutional opposition in the Corp Legisistif. We are of opinion that the time his elm acme to found in the ranks of the dinseeratio preen a coestitutional journal. Constitu tional opposition and constitutional prey, such are the foes words which compose the programme of a new coarse d politics, which will repudiate all obsolete parties, pessions, and enmities, attaching Itself solely to time of program. Progress is, in point of fact, very independent of political forms ; it may be, and la, made under ell eats of govern ments. For oar own part, we think that any ecastioation someptible of 'modification may be accepted, and that whenever all the vital opinion of France and all the journals which anomaly desire the regular movement of democratic pinch*. an agree to act together upon • le , pay recognised ground, • great step will have been made towards the foltilment of the programme announced by the Emperor on his advent to power, " Liberty shall crown the edifice.' , lam not in the secret, bat it is only right that I should tell you that in the opinion of many the I shove article is merely a deceptive mode of an nouncing that the Courtier de Paris has been bought by the government. Ido not believe this at all ; but whether it be so or not, the importance of the announcement is the same, as showing the tendency of public opinion towards that " revival of interest in politics the indication of which was, I firmly believe, the real crime of the Freese in the eyes of the government. If now the article in the Courtier de Paris be really a blind, it is even a more striking proof of the direction in which ideas run than if it were independently written—L'hype crisie cut llommage qua k rice rend d la vertu. A prosecution has been commenced against M. de Froidefonds, an officer of the Guides, who lately killed a young Neapolitan Count, named Catavia, in a duel. The Empress paid a visit to King Jerome, yee terday, at the Palau Royal, and there met Queen Christina of Spain, whom certain chroniclers have lately sent out of France. The Emperor paid a visit to Queen Christina, at Malmaison, on Wednesday, doubtless to congratu late her on the birth of the Prince of Asturias. The Courtier du Havre states that M. Vane, the special commissioner at Lyons, has been summoned to Paris to make a report to the government on the situation of the workmen at Lyons. Measures have been adopted, adds the journal, to furnish employ ment to those who are unoccupied: The subscrip tions which have been opened and the collections made in the different parishes of the diocese have d igic .` 1 realised 80,000 fr.
