Anoct.ier many curio", revelations regarding the odmini,tratice mechanism of the possent Govern ment of France which hero been oillardni ia the' comes of the trial of M. Moisom, jut breeght to en trod mane Si. more interesting owl instructive thee throe that relate to the working of the Ballot under the Imperial rifyiee. Ever since the events of I teeembor. which inaugurated the reality:of absolutism, under the specious thew of a widely extended suffrage, the opponents of the Ballot base iseemantly taunted its friends with the Whim of the system to secure indepeodmt voting or popular returns. Here, it wee mid, we bane the experiment fatly and fairly tried se toriessly • large peopoctien of the mileenses of France profess legitimist or repoillmm 'vision', yet the result of the elections is SAMOA everywhere overwhelmingly Beaspartist. Eldwar, then, the parfiruns of opposition do sot void, or they vote in a seam contrary to their pridlimmil opinions. In the one case, public spirit is paralysed by the benumbing influence of the ballot-box; in the ether, mendacity and hypocrisy are pea/Maid by wholesale, and practised w ith impunity. In vain it woe eouteeded that no fair inference could be drawn from the ostensible results under a system where the right ofqmstion as to 'malpractice' was denied, whore popular sompiaiat was sure to be punished es audition, and whets Parliamentary inquiry was a Wog unknown. Imperial huictionaryiem stared superoUieusly at any who ventured to express a doubt of its ineffable and impeccable impartiality in the conduct of elections, and Imperial journalism treated with virtuous scorn the occasional insinua tion@ mode in the English and Belgian press that, under the name of Ballot, voting in France was not free, and that votes when given were not secret. The recent defeats of Govern meat in three or four arroodiesements of Paris was treated as the crowning proof of police purity and official morals and those who felt the deepest con victim of the insincerity and hollowness of the whole affair despaired of being able to put their finger on evidence in detail of what they suspected. Who should divulge the secret when all the re wards were for reticence and not speech ? Who was to gain anything in Imperial France by con toeing that he had himself been • tool mode me of in political forgery? Who would acknowledge or adopt the approver, even if he were allowed publicly to recount hie tale' M. le Comte de Mtoeuv, soi daunt member of the Legion of Honour and candidate for the common. of Laririire, in the department of Haut Rhin, hoe involuntarily become the means of rendering the inestimable service to political history of making manifest to all the world the actual working of the Napoleonic mode of voting. At tint an adherent, or, as he world call himself, an ally, of NAPOLEON 111., he appear, to have been permitted to till one or two subordinate positions. But his ambition outrunning the tardy pm* eat regular promotion, he conceived, as is alleged, the strange and perilous idea that by affecting to stand as the Government candidate at • particular actin, and using freely the credentials his past services furnished him with, he might be able to bribe, bully, and bamboo:lc a majority of the electors into giving him their suffrages. How he was to make his mom with authority in case of success does not very dis tinctly appear ; but the fear of public impsonna naturally enough never occurred to him. It will, indeed, a contingency highly improbable: never theless, it has occurred. An indictment under carious heads, but which in the main amounts to a charge of political imposture, has been preferred by the Procureur-Innkriale against M. MIGEON, who has been defended by the best ability of the French bar. In the course of the pro ceedings. two witnesses, apparently respectable, were, somewhat indiscreetly as it would seem, called in support of the prosecution to prove the artifices misted to by the accused to obtain a majo rity of votes at Larivihe. They stated positively that twenty suffrages at least had been recorded for M. NIEOLLE, whereas upon the declaration of the numbers but three were found to have supported him, in one commune. The explanation given was that the thing yclept ballot-box was so con stricted that it was possible fur one of the persons having acmes to it to thrust in has hand and with draw any number of bulletins; and the witnesses intimated their conviction that in this ee in some other manner they had been tampered with. No surprise or incredulity appears to have boss mani fested at the rireemstantial statement of this slew toeal summit!: and not • few references ere observ able as incidentally made to the facility of seek abesev, if not to their frequent occurrence. As matter of theory, it is broadly laid down that the legal receptacle for the voting papers not only inviolate during the progress oldie election, whether it last me day or two, but that its inviolability is palpably secured to the public who look on. A more preposterous delesion cannot be conceived. In the ease before aa, M. Hetatrrr, the returning Alm of the commune—another witness for the prosecu- Boa—swore that when the poll had eland he woe waking off with the ballot-box maw his arm, when a young man, no doubt • blend of M. MIGEON'A, celled upon him tosay where it was to be deposited during the night, that the candidates might know it was not tampered with ; the Mayor replied that his interrogator presurel toe lir In adding such squealer ; and ors farther notice was taken. The evidence fee the defames went still further THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 20, lief. in elucidating the nefarious system and tbe ansera pious practices of Government agents. It was dii t ioctly proved by one of the tatatiaetea that whaa th• box was opened in one place, it was found to contain a considerably greater number of bulletins than there were electors. It was also proved that out of seventy votes more than sixty were marked with suc mini% e numbers; and when the scrutineer asked how these papers could be admitted la legal, he war told by an official colleague that it wan all right, and that these numbers had been affixed purposely as a check upon parties who were suspected of voting wrong. Finally, the Cure of one of the parishes was produced to confirm the gene ral utter unreliability of the system, and to swear that he knew how three or four different persons had been engaged in manipulating the votes after they had been given. To this was added a Mal of testimony to the violence and corruption practised beforehand in order to distract and divide public opinion in the district, which was strongly in favour of Count NI 1( There seems, in short, to exist in the system rolled Ballot now practised in France no other element in common with that which is contended for elsewhere under a similar name, than that the votes are given on printed or written papers and rico roe*. The Napoleonic mode approaches much more nearly in point of fact that thoroughly rotten system practised in this country at poor-law elections, and which some worthy Tories and un-worthy Whip would fain introduce into our Parliamentary con tests. By various devices and contrivances the Government functionaries in each agricultural district and in every small town contrive to ascertain, either beforehand or afterwards, how people vote; and when things are not going quite to their mind, they alter the hands of the electoral dial to suit the humour of their employers. Objee tie., scrutiny, or redress is out of the question. A great and well-organised terrorism prevails univer sally ; and it is only some accidental circumstance, like the trial se hose referred to, that momentarily canoes a lifting of a corner of the veil that hangs over the whole imposture. With as, police influence exists not—it is that of property, in one shape or other, that seeks to overbear independent opinion. The Ballot—a sindity twit a sham—would be an infinite boon to the brimilititelemes of society in England, as it would be ee sham classes, if they possessed it, in France. I mems it they do not, any more than they mum beldam of the press—that is, not at all. - speak al M.

What the sentence of the Court may be we know not ; but it matters little : to rehabilitate the electoral system of December, 1832, in public estimation would be impossible.

BELGIUNI The Belgian .Voniteur of yesterday publishes a note intended to disabuse the public mind of certain erroneous impressions which have lately existed. it states, in refutation of the rumours on which these impressions are founded, that the government have no intention of suppressing the usual speech from the throne at the approaching opening of the legis lative session ; that the ministry intend proposing to the Chamber the adjournment of the project of law relative to the charitable establishments ; that the late recall of militia was simply owing to the. completion of the harvest ; and that the health of the King, contrary to current report, was never in a more satisfactory state. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Ocr. 18. The King slept well lut night, but, although his appetite has returned, he recovers his strength but very slowly. A letter from Berlin of the 16th bre Kind left his bed to-day. Opinions differ greatly as tells rie-eatablishmoint , aotoo are of opinion he will soon be well ettoogh to occupy himself with governmental affairs; others that he will not for some time be capable of transacting any business. Acinctunstance which touts to prove that tho latter opinion to the more correct one is that two celebrated physi cians, Pmfenor Frerichs of Bristow, and Dr. Dameron, di rector of the Lunatic Asylum of the same town, have been summoned to Berlin. Count Adlerberg and Prince Clagarin have arrived here to express—the termer in the name of the Cur, the second is that of the Saw+ is of Rusna—their solicitude in the condition of the King. Boron de Koller. Amines ambassador, has been charged with a similar mission by his so v e rei gn. A letter in the French Journal de 11.alsrArt also says . . Whatever may be the mate of the King's health, be cer tain that it is not so fez receetablialosd as to give along hopes of eventual nroovary. The propels of the ma lady canoes it to be foreseen that for a long time the King cannot attend to public affairs. No thing, then, is more tartan' than the idea of • provisional government to be confided to the august brother of the King, the heir presumptive of the throne—an ides which has gained favour not only in governmental regions, but amongst the reply, mpecially ma in that way the transition of the suc cession to the throne would Its inaugurated in the era's lifetime, and the eventual combination talked of—the abdi cation of the Prince of Prussia and the immediate succes sion of his eon—would be avoided, by the &MOW= of o regency which would give the (maim the reins of govern ment and would open to Prince Frederick Wiliam the earethtion of a throne under the utopias of his father. THE PRINCIPALITIES. A despatch has been received from Bucharest, dated Saturday, from which we learn that M. Ninolas Ookeen has been named vice-president of the Divan ad hoc of Wallachia; MM. Constantine Rosetti, Demetrius Bratiano, Constantine Creszu kw*, and Stephan Oolesco, have been appointed secretaries; MNl.Oregory Ghika, Tell, and Margb;• lowan, have been named questors. Awarding to the firman of convocation and the ancient usages of the country, the presidency of the divans belongs by right to the Metropolitan. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom ova ciwx PARIS, MOSIDAT EVIXINO. The Pays says it is in a position to guarantee the truth of its news that Sir Colin Campbell had, at the date of the latest advice, left Calcutta for Alla habad, although the English journals doubt the statement. The news may or may not be true, but the way in which the Pays now re-asserts it, is dis creditable. The original statement was that the Pays' private letter from Calcutta of September 3 announced that Sir Colin Campbell bad left on the 2nd. Now, at the moment when the paragraph was published, the English papers had Calcutta letters down to September 9, in which no men tion of the departure of the Commander. in-Chief was made, and which, moreover, stated that he was just recovering from a fever. No won der, then, that the news of the Pays was treated as apocryphal. But the Pays now, taking no notice of the dates it formerly gave, says that Sir Cohn Campbell, being scarcely recovered from his illnent, left Calcutta on the 11th, twenty-five days sooner than the time which had been fixed for his depar ture. You will know better than we do here whether it is possible to have had intelligence from Calcutta of so late a date as Sept. 11. The Pays also gives the support of its positive assertion (whatever that may be worth) to the truth of a statement which your last correspondence from India notion—namely, that the King of Delhi, _ . Nouradja-Shah, had by his agents proposed to treat with the English army. This fact, the Pays :ob serves, " proves that he feels his position to be hopeless." The Monitesir publishes a correspondence from Bombay, of Sept. 15, which alßrins that although there has been no fresh act of positive rebellion in the Bombay army, the disposition of that force is "deplorable," and that they are being disarmed rapidly. The company, it is said, has ordered the purchase of 17,000 camels and 9,000 elephants, thereby showing that a long campaign is expected. The Bourse has been affected by the unfavourable news from New York by a fall off in Consols, and an apprehension that the Bank of England might this afternoon raise its discount to 8 per cent. A despatch, dated London, two o'clock, received before the close of business, stated that no alteration in the rate of discount had been announced, and that Con sols were firmer. This despatch had, however, no influence upon the market. The Rents closed heavily, with a fall of 20c. for cash and 40c. for ac count, at 66fr. 8.5 c. and 66fr. 80c. Mobilier fell =fr. 76e. Railways were considerably lower. Or leans fell 10fr.; Northern, 10fr.; Eastern, 7fr. 60c. ; Lyons, 12fr. 60c. ; Souther, 15fr.; and Western, Sfr. M. Mon, the chosen colleague of Admiral Armero, who is impatiently expected at Madrid, arrived in Paris this morning from Rome. The route is so roundabout that it is impassable to exclude the sup position that he mast desire to consult with some one in Paris before arriving at his destination. I understand that the Emperor has commuted the sentence upon Captain 14oineau to imprisonment for life in a fortress. It is stated in several Belgian journals that Gene ral Leflo, one of the exiled generals of 15.51, has received permission to return to France. I believe the fact to be correct, and that it occurred in this way. General Lens, who had, for some time been residing in Guernsey, lately applied for the permis sion of the lklgian government to go to Brussels, and was refused. He thereupon wrote a strong letter to the French minister at Brussels, stating that be had a very small income and a large family, and that it was very bard that ho should be pre vented from going to Belgium, where he could more easily do something for his children than he could in Guernsey. The answer sent to this application, after a short delay, was a French passport expressed to be granted r by the special order of the Emperor." nisi, RETURN OP THE PRINCE OP WALES.

(PROM OUR GPRCIAL CORRUPORDINT3 NEW YORK, Oct. 6. There is no relief in our monetary affairs. The pressure is great, and is growing worse. The rail roads have swallowed up the banking capital of the country to such an extent that we cannot see any mode of immediate relief. In addition to the heavy drain on the Banks and credit of the nation, a spirit of speculation has been rife in every department of business; the capital of tradesmen and business Corporations has been largely drawn from every vital source of supply ; hence every regular channel of trade; has found its legitimate flow interrupted. This has given rise to most of our financial troubles. The national Govern ment is the soundest there is on the earth. It is offer ing to-day 16 per rest. (on a notice of twenty-seven days) ss a premium to all holders of public stocks of 18 per cent., if the holders will allow the govern ment to redeem its debt before it becomes due. This stock has only eight or ten years to ran. Perhaps to-day we may say the times are some what better ; but we must not forget that a large portion of the active capital of the country has been sunk for the time being in speculative enterprises, which cannot immediately pay. The last arrival from California, with about the usual amount of gold, has given some relief to our business world, and it is the opinion to-day at the latest moment that our financial affairs have reached the lowest depth of depression, and that after this we arc likely to begin to rise. The United States Banks, which dictate financial law to the Union, are on all hands believed to be sound. It is certain that we have had the most abundant harvest the country has ever produced. Speculation has received a salutary check, and the general business of the country has not been, nor will it be, materially disturbed by these accidental and transient causes altien have for a short time disturbed the serenity of the commercial world. NEW YORK, OCT. 7. The money stringency bu grown into a general pressure on Banks, merchants, and capitalists; and a feeling of apprehension has grown into a panic. The Banks of Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington have suspended specie payments, and their example will probably be followed through the South and West. The worst fears are realised, and the finan cial affairs of the country are in a worse state than they have been in alone 1E137. The last hope lies in the New York City Banks. From the present exhibit of their affairs, they are as strong, if not stronger, than they have ever been. NEW YORK CITY 11AX/LI—PUILIC LI•BILITIC$. Dole.

Our Government Officers have not the power to loan the public money, nor can it even be deposited in Banks. The Government is in all senses its own banker. But the Secretary of the Treasury can often regulate the disbursement, of the Govern ment to the advantage of the public. In this pre sent crisis Mr. Cobb has done much. When these troubles began, with the failure of the Ohio Life and Trust Company, on the 24th of August, there were twenty-two and a half million dollars in gold in the eity of New York, of which twelve and a half mil lions were held by the Government in its own Sub- Treasury. The Banks had already been drained of a large share of their specie, and the most discouraging prospects opened in the future. At this moment Mr. Cobb came to their relief. Large appropria tions had been made by the late Congras, the exact tune of whose payments rested at the discretion of the Secretary. All such sums as he had discre tion to pay were disbursed as fast u possible. The result was that within thirty days Mr. ('nhb had reduced his balance in New York from 121 to less than three millions. Nearly all this gold went direct to the vaults of the city banks. But this was not all. He has determined to reduce the premium which he is paying on the public stocks unless they are at once presented for redemption. This will induce safety fund and trust fund oompa pies to cash these securities which they hold, and several millions will thus, before the Ist of No vember, be thrown into circ ulation. By these rapid movements Mr. Cobb has commanded the re spect and gratitude of the business world in on eminent degree. He has always been re garded as one of the ablest financiers and practical business men in public life. The high service' he has rendered to the country in this period of depression and ruin have saved us from still greater calamities that would otherwise have overtaken us. But it is impossible yet to assign any definite limits to the present finan cial crisis. The means of ultimate relief, however, exist in the abundant harvests of all kinds thathave been reaped in every State of the Union. Bread stuffs are coming down to their old prices, and it is hardly too much to say that during the approaching winter one dollar will go a third further in procuring the means of sub sistence than daring the past twelvemonth. We are going to suffer, however, for some time to oome in every department of business, in consequence of the loose and reckless manner in which business of all kinds has been for many years conducted in the United States. The manta to be suddenly rich has demoralised the larger proportion of our business community. The largest field for the operation of this passion has been in Railroads. It will be a long time before American held, and which never would have Railwa t r ei recover the position they once lost but for thaw causes which have on former oc casions indicated. A few weeks ago, you may have seen some ac count in the New York journals of an Irish meeting, called to sympathise with " the patriot Sepoys to India." It was a small affair. Not a man of any standing in the city attended the meeting except the reporters of the press. It was a contemptible affair altogether; but its utter heartlessness and brutality shocked every reader. Respectable Iribb men disclaimed any connexion with the meeting, or sympathy with its objects. But the Irish of New York seem to have been out done in Dublin, where one of its newspapers holds the following language: — Sweeter than the voice of love, sweeter than the warm accents of friendship, dome than the mellowest sunshine of tho heart, is the news of English disoonifiture in India to the breasts of the Irish people. They are delighted, re joiced, and gladdened beyond measure when they hear of the torture and humiliation of their ancient foe. nay is not a yawl of hers which is smelted, there is not a general of hers who le skin, there is not a battalion in her service which is rested and overthrown, that the people of Ireland do not *at over with the greatest satiafaction and delight. They are consequently delighted by the intelligence received from the Eke, where the forces of the Great Mogul &reanding the sissies of Great Britain. Wherever England draws the sword or light, the match Ireland prays for her defeat, and at no time has oho prayed more fervently in that way than she does now, when the patriot Sepoys of India are endea vouring to sums& the British power, sad sweep it root and branch from the fair and fertile Saida of Him:loam This indecent and blasphemous tirade ling been eottensiccic copied into the American press, and uni versally brtsnded as a disgmee to the Irish nation. The interest klt in events now occurring in the East Indies is growing deeper in the United States every day. The feeling is becoming general that England is now engaged in a great struggle for a common humanity and a common Christianity. She is now pre-eminently fighting the battles of civilisation against heathenism and barbarity, and Clod nerve her arm for the glorious work. We extract from the New York papers brought by the Canada some more detailed information respecting the state of commercial and monetary affairs in the principal cities : (From the New York Tian.) MONDAY, OCT. 6. The California mail and treasure packet of September 6 arrived yesterday morning. Her treasure list is 1,288,734 dollars for New York. The previous packet of August 20 had only 1,219,000 dole. foe. New York, loot in the Central Americs—heing nearly four hundred thousand dollars lam than generally reputed. It will be 'cosi - uttered that the snail and manifest of the unfortunate steamer were lost with the gold, so that the RUM woe left to vague report or con jecture. The steamer, on the other side, left San Francium on the 20th August with 1,600,000 dole., of which 370,000 dole. was for England and the South Pacific. The diffesemee to the underwriters is equal to ons-fourth their apprehended loss. Tho present snivel, if not as large so could be wished just now, fa qualified by this unexpected piece of good luck. It is also accompanied by satisfactory accounts from the mina., a fair degree of business in the San Francisco markets, splendid grain and other cape throughout the State, and the ppoopp ular verdict of the people in favour of manning the public The official averages of the banks in the City of New York for the week ending Saturday, October 3, shows. in the aggregate, the following change' front the previous weekly statement of Saturday, Sept. 28 Decrease of loans 0 1 866.034 Decrease of specie 1,926,682 Demme. of undrawn deposits 4,120,497 Inasass of circulation The liquidstion is genus' and unexpectedly heavy In mob d The figures show, in a very palpable way, the e=rhe t financial storm of Let week, and the extent to which our links were drawn upon beams of the trouble in other quartere ; the doubt or uncertainty which it inspired here, and the aasistanoe which it called forth in coin to the support of nearly all the specie-paying points. Nearly one half the large draft of four millions upon the line of deposits appars to have been met in gold; meet of the remainder going to the liquidation of debt due the banks. Little or no ski was received from the Sub-Treasury disburaement of 2,029,000 dole. ; the Mint took 400,000 dole., and the savings , bank. 860,000 dole. Meet of the latter is held in their owsivatilts, for employment in State Stocks as the oppor- tunny *anis. The payment. at bank were spin heavy to-day, and met with manifest difficulty in nearly all quarters. But for the outlet which was found for something like 200,0001. sterling, meetly outside bills, and the arrival of the California remit tance, the day would have been considered the bklest of the semen. This relief was Immediately felt on the Corn Ex change, on the Stock Eachange, and in the payments at Bulk ,• and notwithstanding the disappointment created in the afternoon on the announcement of the Beak figures, the condition of affairs is certainly less entangled than on Friday and Saturday. The seaman that the banks In Boston hold on to specie payment& affords a moral support to the market and the Bank movement which they were without lest week up to Friday afternoon. The banks been the present week with about 12,500,000 dole. in specie. This le • milieu and a half more than they held this lime last season, and they owe ten millions lees in undrawn deposits. The males of steeling to-day were chiefly at par ; seine few standard bills were done at 101 to 102 i per cent. There was not much done by the discount brokers; the rates 30 to 36 per cent. per annum. Wssumorox, Orr. 5. During the week ending Saturday inclusive, the Post master-General signed drafts for the pay of mail contractors to the amount of at least a million of dollars, which has already been &iota from the *Tanury to the trissety transactions the aggregate drifts for the earns period are about three millions, of which Dearly two and • third millions are on New York. Large amounts of United States stocks come in for redemption. Fifty thousand dollars' worth were received this morning. PRILADZI.PHIA, OCT. 5. The meeting of the democrats in opposition to the keell eaten of the imapension of specie payment was largely at tended this evening, principally by working men. George L. Wharton presided. Realutions were °Erred, which substance were es fellows That the present financial em berramorents occurring at a period when wealth came from ell sources overflowing end in abundance, and in con sequence of over-trading, imprudent investments and extonvagancee,which, in the opinion of the meeting, have been stimulated by the improper expansions incidental to banking upon en immure foundation; that we are in favour of the policy of using !metallic camacy alone; that we attribute the present perfect soundneee of the again of the government to specie trumactions ; that the affairs of state and city should be similarly administered, and the treasury opened and discounted from the banks no the treasury of the 1. sited Steles has been detached from such emaciation ; that legalise the of the present suson of specie payment by the banks would violate the fundamental principles of public end private morality; that the legislature about to convene should leave the banks to the operation of existing laws, tempered by such forbearance s the good sense of their mediocre may suggest; that Mated should maintain a sound currency in epode in such banks as are immediately redeemable in coin, and that no other should be sanc tioned • that we are opposed to bills of steelier denominations than the present, and that we denoance and criminate bank presidents and directors, who shut their eyee to the interests of the city and the smite ; and that we favour the adoption of the New York Bank system, with the excep tion of the issue of small notes. Much enthusiasm was caused by the mention of the name of Jackson ; end the sentiments that we should speed leas—that extravagance has been the cause of the present troubles—that economy is the only redress, were received with applawie. Voluntary rano isa were attempted to be offered, but were overruled. One of these resolutions asked the bank directors to resume r i peo p r w e itin °r thirty de rla a nt s andmoeuvte of a pledge h ' to , 7rte ts fu to r no man fur the coming legislature who was not opposed to 112 a pnwent system of banking. The refusal to have this read canned much disturbance and confusion. (From the Boston Post.) BOSTON OCT. 5. . . . . . In discounting largely loot week the hanks arced mentally, and, considered as • unit, intelligently. They deserve, end they should moire, the thanks of the community. And they should receive mom than thanks—they should have the earnest support dell of us. As we remarked on Saturday, the Boston - bank circulation is good tinder any circumstances. The bills of the Beatoribanke are protected by real property of seven times the amount, in addition to the personal liability of bank stockholders, " the solid men of Blalock" and its neighbourhood. Lct all attempts to draw specie from the banks therefore be diftcouraged. Let every one use his in fluence end his reason to persuade others to let the banks alone end keep quiet. Our people in general have confideskoe in our banks and their circulation. When the proper time comes we can suggest improvements enough in our banking sys tem ; bet we are free to say that, as they are, the Boston banks are safe and sound, as far so the public io concerned, beyond a question. Our banks now stand firm, with greatly diminished liabilities. From the beet private information, we have every merlon to believe that the condition of things in Boston is even better than it is in New York. Our peo ple hare got thniugh with exploded railroads ; and now that our expanded country bank circulations have been mostly redeemed, our public has no pardeulerly weak spot. As yet our hake have really lost very little money, and their active 0•011111.1 are large, and they will be, in all human probability, soon on the increase. With nerve and liberal discounts in the banks, patience, and courage with our merchants, we shall yet go through. _ _ (From the Philadelphia Res', OM. 6.) The injury that suspension has worked against us affects our own merchants trading to New York, or buying from Europe, because it is noterioun that they must either pay in specie, or suffix a heavy discount to the amount of the diffe rentia M exchange. There is not a Philadelphia merchant, paid in Pennsylvania currency by its customers, who is not compelled, first to pay 3 per cent. discount before o in exchange for it Philadelphia notes; and, in the so bial co r t place, forced to par 4 per cent. premium to obtain gold, in order to meet hie billo on New York or Liverpool. There being the lowest ruling rates, make a difference against the Philadelphia merchant of 7 per cent., and this is muted by suspension. These are facts as notorious as they am dis agreeable. The knowledge of these feets impelled the cele brated meeting of our Board of Trade to advise upon the pro priety relies ing our merchants from the payment of the New York bills in specie, and is at this moment the muse of anxious solicitude on the pert both of the banks and the mer chants. How far these merchants may be willing to sell cheaper than New York ander lynch circumstance', Islam to save themselves from protest end suspension, we cannot perceive. HAIMIAACTO, PA., Ocr. 6. The legislature of Pennsylvania convened to= Governor Pollock', message recommends that the which may be relieved from the penalties upon such suspee. Pion by existing laws be required to make a satisfactory arrangement with the State Treasury to convert the feuds in the treanu7 and the balances standing to hie credit In any solvent banks into specie as soon as necessary far the pay ment of the funded debt, and that solvent banks which hare paid specie for ell their liabilities immediately prior to Ma late general suspension be required, under limitations and restriction", to receive the notes of each other continuing solvent, at par, in payment. The tame of relief notes of a small denomination should not be authorieed, nor the tanks during their suspension be permitted to declare dividends ex ceeding 6 per cent. per annum. The Governor believe' that the moneyed institutions of the state are in a mound and solvent condition, and that if the measures suggested be ' adopted all will be right.

(FROM ♦ COREMAYONDENT.) HAMBURG, 9Fr . 17. The pressure on our money market, which had already shown itself last week, became much more stringent when the telegraph brought the intelli gence of the Bank of England having made a further advance in their rate of discount, and even for the most unobjectionable paper it has been quite impos sible to obtain cash on lower terms than 8 per cent. per annum, while many, who to meet their engage ments would readily have given 10 per cent. for good but not select bills, found that they could not get them converted into money on any terms, and the consequence has been that heavy sacrifices of goods of various kinds have been freely made to meet the exigencies of the hour. At Bremen the tightness has, if possible, been still more severe, for as the direct intercourse between that city and the United States is comparatively greater than that which is carried on between America and this city, they have been in addition exposed to many adverse circumstances from the monetary and commercial disorganisation in the chief cities of the Union which has latterly prevailed. Both here and there, however, the evil has been increased by the almost simultaneous announcement, from official I authority, that the punctual payment of the call on the Russian railways, which falls due in December, would be rigorously enforced; and as, from the financial connexion of Messrs. Stieglitz with Ham burg., and with Germany generally, a considerable portion of these shares is held here both by private parties and by public companies, this intimation has come upon them at a very inconvenient time, and may yet lead to much mischief. It is fortunate that in England there will be no aggravation of the effects of the present crisis from that cause, for as their eyes were there opened in due time to the various evils that might arise from a ready adoption of that scheme, it is understood that only a very . . small proportiOn has been allocated in that countri, and the effects of this exaction will not therefore be felt in any degree so intensely there, as they cannot fail to be not only in Germany, but in Holland and France also, where the great capitalists were not so cautious as it is found t ha t those who now take the lead in such matters have proved to be in England. Emigration to America goes on from hence on a large scale. Yesterday live vessels cleared out with 1,201 passengers. Of these, 938 were for New York, and 263 for New Orleans. Of the former, some were destined ultimately for Canada ; but as the whole chiefly consisted of families, and were, in general, people of some property, they will be found, whether they settle in British America or in the States, to be a great acquisition to the country of their adoption. A letter from St. Petersburg, of the 10th, says : " The Invalid. Raue cantatas a remarkable article upon the events in India. Alter sessiming that England in the first instance purchased India, and did not conquer it, the organ of the Rumden government proceeds to consider what would occur if England should find herself compelled really to oon quer that vast country. This work, it Bays, is unquestion ably beyond the capacity of England, but it would not be beyond the power of Europe. If India was conquered by Europe, it might be placed under a European protectorate, and the propagation of civilisation there would become a subject of international interest." A letter from Tripoli of the Bth says :—" The Sultan has given a new proof of his sympathy for the Chris tian populations of this regency by conceding gratuitously to the sisters of charity of fit. Joseph a vast edifice for the esta blishment of an hospital. A few months ago the Sultan also accorded a Orman for the erection of a new catholic church at Benziud." A letter from Naples of the 3rd, in the Gazette da France, rays —"The continued eruption of Mount Vesuvius has brought a number of foreigners to this city to view the magnificent tame. Amour the personages who have lately ascended the mountain, in order to view the eruption as closely as possible, are the Conde de Montanan and hie brother, Don Fernando, and the Frince of Orange."

THE COLONIAL EPISCOPATE.—The church of England will, bathe course of a few weeks, have 37 bishops in the colonies and dependeneies of the British mown.

Jl3 soon as tranquillity investors& in India arrangements will be completed for the witablish ment of three new bishoprics there, one at Ages, far tbe North-West Provinces ; one at Lahore, for therunisub •; and one at Palaeocene, for the missionary province of nuns velly. When these appointments are made the number of English colonial bishops will be 40. LANGE APPLES.—Mr. Atkins,of the Royal Marine barracks, lately picked from his garden, at the Point, two apples of the following extraordinary dimensions one mea sured In inches in circumference, and weighed 13f ont. ; the other measured 13 inches, and weighed 13 tes.—Plys *south Journey!. THE HEBRIDEAN Toun.—Owing to the nature of the Hebridean coast& the tourist is enabled to traverse the grandest and mat desolate scenery, and seas whose very names am suggestive of storm and &tiger• with as close view sit seated m a carrisge, and with as much comfort, incident, and safety as if lolling in a drawing-room or on a balcony. Soto idea of the extent and growth of thetretlic thus driven through the most desolate and stormy regions of the three kingdom., may he formed front the facts that last year the number of paseengere passing through the Crimea Canal, which forms part, though not an eseential part, of the route, was nearly 50,000; that the number has been doubled within about a dozen )ears; and that the tonnage, cattle, sheep, and general goods have all increased in the same pro portion. Or, as an illustration of what has taken place a long while before and on a still larger scale in many other places, take the little town of Oleo, ono of the starting points or rating-plain in the Hebridean tour. Ile popula tion is 1,700; its inhabiud houses, 156; the annual value of its property 4,4004 Often in the height of the sewn, 200 or 600 - bede see occupied by tourists, and the nightly a ;Tree, from the beginning of June to the end of September, is 2co, which, making allowance for the number of beds occupie d by more than one person, represents at least 300 guests. Hach of these is ascertained to pay on an average 10e. per day, besides the hire of conveyances and the large propor tion of the eating and drinking performed on board the Mesmer*. As the number of tourists sleeping in the place d ... t .. l n. riezthe season ie at least 40,000, we have than, in four a sum of 20,0001. of lowland money spent in this lile s ;lage. The visitors are at least twentyfold the inha bitants, and the visitors expenditure four or fivefold the value of the whole town.— Jidioebucch Buie ¢', new number. ••••••••• _ . BREID-STEALING EXTRAORDINARY. A gentle. man, worthy of all credit, and who may be the more readily trusted as his story acknowledges his own defeat, was roused one night by a heavy bumping noise en the mein. Unable to amount for it, he rose, donned his dressing-gown, and with his candle in his hand, proceeded to investigate the came. Halfway downstairs be perceived a large rat em ployed in facilitating the descent of a half-loaf by pushing it iria from one step to another. Anxious to redeem hi/ property, the owner dereended after it. The rat at lint OOP. tinned his exertions, but as the enemy gained upon him, ha changed him tactics, and turning his front op weeds, began to climb towards his opponent. This was kicked such an intruder as might with all jostles have been down stairs ; but so Mern was his air and so zpip• pacing his aspect that the gentlemen hesitated, and heats tation ended in retreat. His feet being armed only with *Unpin, he lost heart and began slowly to wend beebread': whits the rat deliberately mounted after him, and thus steadily drove him back to his bedroom, the door of which healed in the far* of his foe, and terminated the adventure by resider to bed, while the rat returned to hie well-earned booty.—Sational Revive, new number.
