It is now for nearly three montln that the Bank rate has been maintained at 10 per cent., and, to judge from the reasoning'adop:sd by the apologists of the Directors, there seems litt'e or no chance of an alleviation for some time to come. It is fortunate that the past crisis visitsd us when trade was generally sound, and when the realisation of large profits, from the revival of com merce with America, afforded exceptional resor nes to meet the disacer. But it is impossible not to see that the limit is nearly, if not altogether, reached. No trade in the world can withstand the continued lapse of credit, and the trade of England less than any. For a time the burden may be borne, but the end is sure. Many signs prove that we are on the verge of wide spread commercial distress. We may, perhaps, have no great sensational failures, with liabilities figuring for millions: the havoc will probably be chiefly among the second and third class traders. It is especially hard that the punishment should fall upon them for an excess of speculation with which they have had little or nothing to do. Thus, however, stands the fact. Because some thousands of clergymen, women, and other persons totally unacquainted with business, have entrusted their savings to the care of dishonest or incapable trustees, the merchant doing a prudent trade is to be ruined. Upon his head are to be visited all the consequences entailed by the folly and carelessness of a portion of the community over which he has no control, and with which he has most likely little, if any, connexion. This is the immediate point, and it is one of such gravity that although Mr. WATIIN'S opportune motion for a Royal Commission to inquire into the working of the Bank Act of 1844 was postponed by a count-out, it is a paramount duty of the Government not to allow Parliament to separate without authorising some protective measures against an impending national calamity. Painful as the admission is, it must be conceded that the credit of this great and wealthy counts./ abroad is for the time gone. The distrust of English bills is such that foreignel.... f rmly refuse them, with the exception of those on a vei/ few first-rate houses, and require payment of their debts in hard money. Renee the accumu lation of 28,250,0001. of bullion in the Bank of France, and a rate of discount barely exceeding 2i per cent. in the open market in Paris, while here 10 per cent. is upheld at our nal...onel Bank, and even at that advances are becoming daily more difficult, except on first-class securities of the best commercial paper. This state of things speaLs for itself. In a crisis such as we are pass ing through it is not the capitalist whose position claims the consideration of the State ; he may need some temporary accommodation himself, and can afford to pay for it ; but it is those who form the material and backbone of our vast trade and In the opinion of the Times the speech of King William to the Prussian legislature will give satisfaction to the Mends of constitutional freedom, and there is no doubt that the Prussian Diet will pass a bill of indemnity to the King's government for all the arbitrary measures of the past, and that a better harmony will be established between the powers of the state for the future. " God's gracious goodness has crowned Prussia's hasty sacrifices," aa the King says, and goodwill and concord are easy with the prosperous. After describing the vigorous action of Prussia both before and daring the war, the Times says, that power now claims north of the Main full liberty of action, and even beyond that boundary she assert' her right of 'Miami and diplomatic supremacy which she will have little difficulty in extending to all Germany. If we reflect that in Saxony very nearly the whole people, to the exclusion of the royal family, are protestant., that in Wurtemberg the protestant, are to the catholic. aa three tome, we shall readily conclude that opposition to the will of Prussia can at the utmost only be apprehended on the part of Bavaria, which will, in all probability, have to surrender her Franconian territory north of the Main, and her share of the Palatinate west of the Rhine. Prussia, and, through her, Germany, will thus show a front to France all along the Rhine from the Swiss to the Dutch frontier ; and the Gaul and the Teuton will thus once more, after some thousand years, border upon one another in two great national masses on or near the banks of the great river. • '' " My dear Lord,—The sufferings of a large number cf poor persons from choler► in a particular district of Lon don, though fortunately as yet only in a limited one, have mast painfully attracted the Queen's attention, and her Majesty consequently learnt with satisfaction the proposal contained in your letter published this morning, to arrange with the Metropolitan Relief and District Visiting Agra dation, of which your lordship is president, for the proper admi.'stration of a special Cholera Fund. . . PORT-All-PRINCE. LIVERPOOL, AUGUST 6. The ,tearer Mexican from Port-an-Prince on the 18th July has arrived here. The rebellion had broken out afresh, and part of Gonaives had been destroyed by fire by the rebels. Fears were entertained at Port-an-Prince lest the rebels should fire that place, as threats had been used to that effect. The rebels are said to be in great force near Port-an-Prince. RAW I REMARKS. There le little prospect of the weather becoming settled for the next day or two. The winds have again backed to south-west, and appear likely to luereate. The increams of barometric pressure which took place yester day has been succeeded by a fresh diminution h the north and west. It is rarely that it falls to the lot of • sovereign, the Post observes, to meet his parliament under circumstances so suspicions as those under which the King of Prussia yesterday convened the Chambers at Berlin. Even Frederick the (treat, at the close of his life of warfare, did not effect such changes in the kingdom which he received from his father as those which William has brought abort in that which but • few years since devolved on him on the death of his brother. From being a kingdom Prussia has within the present year been converted Into an empire. It is unnecessary to inquire whether in trath the Prus sian army was " accompanied by the visible blessing of God," as, under the circumstances, the King was of course bound to thank the Almighty for his marvellous career of victory. The brief resume of the progress of the late campaign is, however, conceived in a tone of modesty which merits commendation. The King, referring to the constitutional dispute between the government and the chambers asks to let byegones be byegones, and he cer tainly could not have addressed this request to his parlia ment at a more opportune time. COI thousands on thousands who are interwoven with it, and whose means and energies are now paralysed by one of the worst panics ever known, who want support, and, within prudert limits, ought to have it. No wonder, in such an emergency, that hoarding is practised. The nu merous banking failures, and the misery they have entailed, naturally induce not only general caution, but the desire to keep some cash at home, lest the sudden ruin and privation witnessed among neighbours should extend to those who see it, but have been so far exempt. From this cause it mainly is that the note circulation of the Bank of England is some 3,000,0001., or more, abovethe average, but if needed, why should not this extra issue be au thorised, and the rate of discount at once reduc:d Why is the issue upon securities to be permanently fixed at 15,000,0001., whatever the extens;on of our trade and the requirements of $ critical period such as the present t What magic is there, whr iegis of safety, in these stereotyped figures o: 15,000,0001.1 They mean finalLy of legislation, which is quite inconsistent with progress ; they also mean wide-spread ruin, which might be averted or diminished by a policy less obstinately restrictive, and well-considered measures of relief adapted to an exceptional crisis and one of extra ordinary severity. The serious error of the late Government was the condition theyimpoeed, that on the suspension of the Bank Act the rate of discount should not be less than 10 per cent. This condition virtually neutralised, after the first week or so, the benefit which the suspension was intended to confer, and when Mr. GLADOTONZ announced in the House of Commons that if the rate of dis count wen reduced below 10 per cent. the Government letter would become inoperative, it was easy to perceive that the timid administrators of the Bank of England would shrink from incurring such a responsibility, while their reserve was low, andthat a prolonged period of loss, failing trade, and distrust was before us. It is equally obvious that there is no necessity for the persistent maintenance of Otis Wirate, and that the rates, already de- Her Majesty, feeling sure that under your lordship's presidency any funds which may be collected will be judiciously applied, ha. commanded me to forward a cheque for 50W. to Mears.

During the war and while the war was brewing we heard very little about Rome and the conven- ' Lion of September 15. It was almost taken for granted that the war would afford an excuse for evading its proviaions, and this idea was particularly caressed by the papal party in Rome. It appears, however, that an event occurred a few days ago which has thrown that party into a state of consternation. Count de Sartiges received a note from M. Drouyn de Lhuys urging the papal go vernment to lose no time in coming to an under standing with Italy, and adding that "an imme diate arrangement was indispensable in the interest of the Holy See on the eve of the execution of the convention." A catholic organ in the south of France, the Gazette du Midi, says : As to the evacuation of the pontifical territory by the French troops, which it was thought had been indefinitely adjourned, and which seemed to have been in a manner forgotten, it is unfortunately but too certain. The execu tion of the convention has been officially announced as im minent, and it seems that the Pope cannot reckon upon the presence of a French army in Rome longer than until December next. Although the long-pending question of the amount of the pontifical debt to be assumed by Italy is said to be settled, other difficulties remain. The Assize Court of Piacenza has sentenced Mgr. Ranza, the bishop of the diocese, to a year's imprisonment and I,ooofr. fine for having refused the communion in extremes and Christian burial to a priest named Pizzi, who had been guilty of signing M. Pasaaglia's address to the Pope, praying him to renounce the temporal power. Some people think that the Pope will never be able to live as a neighbour of Victor Emmanuel unless he first leaves Rome, shakes off the domination of the cardinals, and oomes back to the Vatican on an entirely new footing. Has he yet leaven enough left of the reforming Pope of 1848 to try such a bold step _ _ Mr. J. A. Smith will to-night ask the President of the Poor-law Board whether, viewing the extensive outburst of cholera in the eastern districts of the metro polis, the government are prepared to allow parliament to separate without providing the means of summary inter ference in came where the vestries may neglect the en forcement of sanitary precautions, or may omit or delay the necessary arrangements for the are of the sick, and the separation of the healthy from the dying and the dead.

According to the Revue Coutemporaine one of the principal objects of Prince Napoleon's mission was to induce Italy to renounce all pretensions to the Italian Tyrol, and he did not succeed : Italy was more intractable than ever ; she stiffened her self against her military misfortunes, repudiated concilia tory suggestions, and thus created difficulties in the way i of the Imperial mediator which even the Menem* of Prince Napoleon could not remove.

STATUE OF THL LATE LORD Huitzsitr.—A most successful casting in bronze of Mr. Foley's statue of the Lord Herbert of Lea, better known as Sidney Herbert, was made recently at the extensive works of Messrs. Prince and Co., the " Plinths " Foundry, Ewer-street, Union-street, Southwark . The figure is of colossal size, and is intended to be placed in the enclosure opposite the en trance to the War-office in Pall-mall. Mr. Foley, RA., has been most fortunate in producing an excellent likeness of ' the late nobleman—his highly intellectual and thoughtful textures have been most admirably transferred to the bronze. The statue was cast in one piece, and It took but fifteen seconds to pour in the metal. There were resent Lady Herbert, the Earl of Clauwilliam, Mr. Foley, Dr. Shea, and several other ladies and gentlemen. Num. Piinoe have within the last two years introdnoed into Southwark this valuable branch of art manufacture.— ' South London Chronicle. • Rilisoßis MEETING AT READIEO.-011 Saturday • evening a meeting was held at the So'•ool of Room, Reading, when a branch of the Reform League was esta blished.

In the opinion of the Daily New cholera is a specific disease, and the influence of fear is quite as powerless in the production of cholera as it is in causing the population to be poisoned by arsenic. On the other hand, to expect and to be constantly looking for the advent of the disease in various quarters is to stifle it in its birth. Through the whole country jnstnow there should be thiskind of expecta tion, producing acti►e exertion and constant watchfulness. The system of house-to-house visitation is fraught with the greatest advantages, and no consideration of expense should be allowed to interfere with its immediate and perfect organisation. There are plenty of advanced stu dents about the hospitals, and young doctors as yet nn burthened with practice, who, U they were compens►ted properly for the great labour involved and the certain amount of risk incurred, would be glad to lend their as sistance in stemming the course of cholera. Taking the lowest view of the question, any expense thus necessitated would be profitably incurred. The 'havoc just now being committed amongst families in the East of London repre septa a money loss to the country which, for prudential reasons alone, will justify the most liberal steps being taken to prevent its extension. For panic, says the Telegraph, there is not the slightest ground, but there is immediate call for honest work. Every man amongst us has a duty to perform. Let each, first strengthening his own heart by the solemn thoughts that suggest themselves at such a time, consider what he can do ; and very few will find themselves without a sufftient task. MS TOP . Referring to the division of parties in the United States, the Times believes it to be certain that the animosity ar e rancour which will be developed in America if the Woe of governing the states of the Union by a legislature com posed exclusively of one party be adopted, a m not be in ferior in bitterness to that experienced in Ireland. What has happened already is sufficient to prove a• much. On the motion of Mr. Thaddeus Stevens, tl leader of the republicans in the House of Reprecier tativee, the house passed a resolution, of doubtful 1 - malty, declaring itv intention- of roassembling in Oetobe instead of December, the time fixed by the constitutio . l for the annual meeting of Congress. Mr. Stevens, in pro- posing this resolution, boldly sokeawledged that be was apprehensive lest a coup d'itat might happen before Con gress re•amembiss. Mr. Stevens is the most powerful op ponent of the President in the house, and his language indicates the feelings of his party. On the other hand, the courage and rosolutbas of Mr. Johnson ought to eat•- mend the admiration even of those who differ from his policy. LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
