A Illippkenati to the London Gazette, issued Oil Saturday evening, contains es easier in council, whisk, after raids' the peovideas of the above au relating to the division ef metropolika parishes into wards, sad set. tiag forth the intuit and bonadery Saes of the wards, es duly apportkaed by the Iranians appelated for that pur pose, missiles that her Mieety having taken the said awards into sessideratim, k pleased, by and with the Mein" of her Privy Couasil, to approve thereof, and of the division. and apportimments therein pee/posed. (The pareimlare of the Meat and liceindery lines of the varicose wards, and the ember of vestrymen to he sleeted for seek, were given ia our reports of this proceedings before the respective ha ekten A variety of questions (says the Observer) have bun sent from metropolitan parishes to the IlsearoMee, beak( for mistatise sad advice in earryiag out the Act for the Local Masagement of the Metropolis. Some of their diSsulties are eassested with the provisions and phraseology of their Will eats, but it le thought better set to postpone the pre ssed eau till these acts can be onseeked, bat to lay at cues helms the law Misers sash gneelines es arise epos the gnome! eel. And, as the tines of *lntim ia drawing Tepidly near, Six George Grey is anima that the Attotney and Sulkier Ostend Mudd femur him with the 4 °patios it their earliest tonvenlimee. Oa the difecalties, site., submitted to government, the Amway ad Solicitor-Geseral us requested to 'dyke: Cane I.—IS the qualification of a vestresean, whether it is to be 401. or 251, to be detimalard (seder metes 6) by ernentleg "the poor rate messemeate at 401. or upwards" in the salaam beaded "gram estimated nand," or in the adman hooded "rateable value ?" Ortinine—We are of opinion that fer the purpose of de tonalities the qualileation of a vestryman the rateable I value solemn is the rate book k be be taken. The natal mistimed ia section 6 is this emmel value epos Mikis the rate or populism payable k oeaally reckoned or aster sainted. If A B, being aa atempisr at 4001. per annum, I. mitered la the column of "rateable value" at 3501., and a rate of la. ia the polled Is made, he pays 3505., that is, he is eased, or in other words untributes, upon a rental of 3601. Cass 2.—le the qualificatim of the iadividual vestryman, via., "persons rated or .ones ad to the relief of the poor upon a reseal of not less than 401. per ammo," to be deter mined by the column of "gross Minuted rental," or the eolunia headed " rateable vales, , ' or by the actual rat paid to the laadlord, without reference to the "gross estimated rental," or the " rateable value," in the rate ? Ornemer.—lt follows therefore that is our opinion the qualification of the individual vestryman is to be determined by the velum headed " rateable mdse." The actual flat paid to the landlord has nothing to do with the statutory publication. The words " rated or messed to the relief of the poor upon a rental of tot Ism than 401. per annum," au, collectively, the adjective of the word " peruse" and form me description. The "rental" is that moral sum on which the mesument is actually made. Caen 3.—Where one and the sum penes is rated in different tart, of the rata book tor different premises in his occupatice, may the ratings be taken as one asiesement fur the purpose of establishing his qualification sea vestryman ? Orintox.—ln the cue put, we think the ratings may be taken as out assessment; that is, if collectively they make up the statutory amount, than Is a sulkiest qualification. QUIZ 4.—Where a pima is rated foe s house in his own occupation, and also for "compounded houses," may bis qualificatioe be established by adding the amount of such esseasments ? OTIMIOX.—Paters to be qualified must be occupiers of teammate rated at a rental of not leas than 401. a year. A qaalifiestion sumo! be produced by being the occupier of a Muse rated at less than 401, and by Ming rated se the land lord of sompotanded homes at • rental covering the (heti *my. If this be the case to which the question refers, we think that ia such eau there would aot be a qualification. Cam s.—With reference t• the proviso (seat. 16) as to the memeity of being rated to, and having paid, "alt paro chial rates, tares, and assesentents," do the,, words include land-tea,chureb.rates made by an outs vestry of • perish divided lobo upend' 'swimsuit:al parishes under the Church Building Au., or other public seta, or under a pubic, 'moral act for racier mosey to pay annuities granted for mosey borrowed to build the parish church; and if a church-rate is considered a perialvrate, (witbio the enessisg of the act), is it to be confined to that ward of the parish I. which the voter ruides and votes ? OPllliox.—Thie is 'question aeons sleety. Having regard to the object of the act wo think the adjective " parochial' enlist be wandered es d to each of the substantives " rates, taxes, and auesereente." Land-tar is not, in our opinion, a parochial tar, hut church ratite, made or granted in any of the modes stated in this question, an, in our opinioe, parochial assessment.. A elnareh.rate, even it it be confined to a part of a pariah only, as, for instance, to the ward of a perish in which the voter resides and votes, is still an aseseement fora parochial purpose, and, therefore, in our °pillion, a partichiss Gait 6.—ls the district board to he composed of vestry men ? (See section 32, ate.) OPINION.—The set doe. not appear to render it necessary that the persons first elected members of the district hoards of works (ender sect. 32) should be vestrymen; although by the operation of Het. 35 the board will ultimately be con otinited of vestrymen oily. CASS 7.—Are the vainiecke to be filled up out of vestry men ? (S.. sections 35 and 36, ante.) 01.11110/I.—We do not find any enactment which renders it neeeseary that Casual vacancies (to be filled up under the 37th section) should be filled up out of vestrymen ex clusively. Can B.—ls a vacancy by death to be filled up by election of a vestryman ? Under beet. 37, when any member of any district board dies, resigeS, or ceases tab* each member, otherwire ttan by the expiration of his tens of office, the vestry of the pansh for which he was sleeted shall, with all convenient spud, elect a pence to be • member of such board in his place ; and every member of any emit board elected to supply any mush vacancy shell go out of his once when the term of omen of the member ia whole place he is elected would have ezpired by slimiest *nine? Orinzon.—We think not secessarily. Casa 9 —The parish vestries are to elect mums to he members of the Metropolitan Board. Are these persons to be aitessearily vistremen ? By sect. 45, the vestry of each of the parishes mentioned in the diet part of the said Schedule (A) shall at a meeting of seek vestry to be holden on the 12th day of Descosher, 1866, elect two persons to be members of the geld Metropolitan Board of Works ; and the vestry of each of the pris mentioned in the sewed part of the said Selsedak (A), inapt the parish of Botherhithe and the booed of works err es& of the die triets mentioned in the int part of the said Schedule (B), shall, at a meeting of such vestry and hoard respectively, to be holden oa the lastmentiosed day, elect one person to be a member of the said Metropolitan Board ; sad every such vestry ad heard shall, wiles any member of each Metro politan Herd Misted by such vestry or board dies, resigns, or eabeeeeke muses to be such member, sleet a person to be a member of the NM bletrepolitaa Board ia the place of the eumber milling, resigning, or otherwise mask( to be each asealealts Ornnow.—Not necemarily. QUM 10.—Are the manabers of the district board to be sleeted is equal numbers oat of*, wards into which a pariah Is divided, er out of the whole body of vestrymen (if they Meet all be vvettluVO). or hammy pert of the parish ? OPINION.—We do sot observe anything Is the act revue lag that members of the distrist beard should be elected is equal smashers out of the wards into which a perish is divided, or out of vestrymen a:elusively. Sash sambas may, we Mist, be taken from say part of the parish. Cell 11.-80 es to the auditor,.

(Signed) Bazaars Birrzaza. October 16, 1866. The °plaices au given by the law oaten of the Won (eau the Oberver) ftrin, as it were, an anticipatory com ment upon the act, as regards Its interpretation, and must therefore be looked upon, at nerall speaking, as at ones importeat ad valuable to the public. Some discrepancies in the opinions of the Attorney end Solicitor Oussale, however, all for farther explanation, bismuth se they Him to be eontradietory, both in term and in seam, to others in the series. For instance, the parish of Hammersmith asks the following questions, and Ireceives the following answere—answen which, it will be ' perceived, ars at issue with one another, via.: Case A—Where on. and the same penes is rated in dif. Went parts of the rate book for different premises in his occupation, may the ratings be tarn as one assessment for the purpose of establishing his qeslificatkie as a vestrymen ? Opinion.—ln the ease pat we thick the ratings may be taken as one armament, that is, if collectively they make up the statutory_aseount ; there is • sufficient qualification. Cu. 4.—Whers a perms is rated for a buss is his own oscapetion, and also for compounded houses," may his usliiicatiom be established by adding the snout of sub meessments ? CpiiiiTe.LPenoss to be qualified mast be ocenpien of teammate rated at a rental of not lees than COI. a year. A qualification cannot be produced by being the occupier of a house traced at km than COL, and by being rated as the landlord of compounded houses at a rental covering de ficiency. If this be the case to which the question refers, we think that in such case then would not boa qualification. Again. it is asked and answered, via : Cass 12.—AarnmIng the effect of the Hackney Local Aet to ►e correctly sot out (sate p.), if the names of the Meant' of small houses (the landlords of which hare compounded with the trustees) are still fainted in the rate books as weepier., as well as the landlord who compounds, is the landlord or the tenant to be deemed the ocenpier, within the "awing of the Metropolis Management Act, is calculating the acenerneatl _ _ _ Opiaica. In the ease put, neither the landlord nor the tenant le ea occupier, with the statutory qualification re quired by see. S. This statutory qualification equine three things:-1. The actual cecupation of tenements within the parish. 2. The being personally rated or aseesetd, i.e. made liable to contribute, upon a certain rental in respect; of such tenement. Aad 3. The actual payment of such rates. Bat in the case put, the landlord is not the actual occupier, and the actual occupier is not the perms who is rated, or who pays. Finally, it is asked sad answered : Cu. 17.—1 n counting the whole number of assessments, sad the number of Of. assesenteats, are the properties as sessed to be imitated singly ; or, in the case of one person rated for two or more distinct properties, is the aggregate amount at which be is rated to be taken as one amassment I Opinion. District aniessinente is respect of different tenements are to be counted separately, although one and the same individual may be the owner of several tenements es aseemed. It will be sees that the law tithen of the crown have sot at all clearly defined what is en "occupier" under the taros of the set; sad, therefore, unless farther esplsostioss ere conceded upon that sabjiet, a fertile source of litigation and diseeetest will be estoblisbad ea a corollary to its prac tise' eperatle■, sad the benefits which it is calculated to eagle, will be rendered nugatory.

THE BANK OF ENGLAND AND THE BANK OF, FRANCE. , The Bank of England hu again rained the rate of dimmest to 6 per cent. upon bills not having more thus sixty days to run, and to 7 per cent. upon bills having more than sixty and not more than ninety-five days to run :—for longer dated bills no mioimum rate is fixed. The Bank of France has also raised the rats of discount to 6 per ant Theeechanges have taken place in the few of return whisk would sppear fully to justify some action is that direction. The monthly returns of the Bank of France made up to the 11th inst. show a farther reduction is the amens of bullion equal to 2,280,00 W. The bullion in the Bask at Paris sad the branches amounts by that return to 9,240,0001. The bills under discount show as lacrosse of 2,000,0001., amounting to the sum of 19,200,0001. The weekly uterus of the Bank of Eng land made up to the 13th show a further reduction in the bullion to the amount of 627,0001.; but the securities, both public and private, show also a considerable reduction. Thus, for two successive weeks, there ha now been a decrease of private securities, which would indicate that the pressure for advances hatelessoned. The decrease of bullion, however, still continues steadily week by week ; and it is understo od that during the last week aisles tissee—setaves were made up there his bun a further diminution. There aro, however, reasons for be lieving that the recent demands upon the Bank have not arisen so much for exportation as for home use. The necessary accompaniment of scarcity in any article is a disposition on the part of mummers and dealers to increase their stocks, and to hold with greater pertinacity when priers are rising. This Is peculiarly true as regards money. If scarcity is apprehended and prices are rising, every merchant and banker throughout the country strengthens his mane, sad is less disposed to part with whet he has. An mutual pressure from this am is crested for discounts, in anticipation of the time when the money will be wanted. More bask notes and a larger stock of cobs are told by country bankers than usual, and although the (screen of coin in each establishment is not serious, yet, when we consider their number, the aggro gate effect upon the Bank of Ragland, the only source of supply, is serious. There is no doubt, then, that the recent pressure for discounts and demand for gold have both been an• avoidably aggravated by ‘hose ceases. Another reason which has led to the withdrawal of coin from the Bank is the usual demand which is invariably experienced on the pay ment of the dividends. . . . . It would thus appear that there have been two awes in operation, one abroad and one at home, which have at least considerably aided in producing the recent drain, but both of which have been of an anticipatory character, sad which are likely therefore to lead to some early, though perhaps not very strong, reaction. The operations by which bullion has been withdrawn to the Continent must have to • great extent been performed either by collecting &relish bills for the purpose, and thus treating a future scarcity when they would otherwise have come forward in the ordinary course of business, or by drawing bills expressly fur the purpose, which might easily be done by the greet exchange bankers without excidng much attention, and especially if they were pat into circulation through indirect channels. To some extent we have reason to believe such was done. But then, as theirs bills become due, means must be found to provide for them, end unless another set of bills are put in circuit' tion to meet the first, and sent to the Bank for discount, a considerable portion of the bullion must soon return. But as it will be • matter of calculation of the cost, to some 'Etna, whether those bills will he redrawn, the obvious tendency of the high rate of discount in London will be to induce to the transmission of bullion. In whatever way, therefore, the large amount of bullion recently exported has been paid for, it is certain that sooner or later swat the balsam be restored to this country. At the present time it may be said to be represented by bills now under discount in London. Again, so far as regards the intent] causes of demand, if beakers and others have strengthened their reserves, not only will that operation not require to be renewed, but the additional balances now held in *seas of the ordinary amount will in the coarse of time And their way again into employmsat, end lead to 'corresponding mein the demand upon the Bank when such takes pleats. We are is so way disposed to blame the Beak directors for the sours@ they have adopted to meet the pressure upon then by raising the rate of discount. It is the only legiti mate means by which a drain can be counteracted, and if they had net dose so, it is certain that already large amounts of apical would have found their way out of the country for use abroad. Indeed, if we would blame the Bank at all, it would be for postponing that policy so long. Having reduced the rate of discount in Jane to 31 per cent. when the bullion stood at 18,000,0001., they witnessed a rapid reduction week by week, and took DO steps to avert it, until, on the 6th of September, the bullion having fallen to 14,217,0001., they raised the rate to 4 per Dent., and then by rapid strides week after week, with only two intermissions, until it reached the present high rate, and thus naturally tended to create mush alarm sod excitement. If they had began at least Ave weeks earlier. when the bullion had fallen to 16,000,0001.,and raisedthe rate of discount more gradually, not only would it have been more 'factual for the object, but less alarm would have been excited. While, therefore, we are rather disposed to find fault that this course had not been taken earlier than that it should to taken at all, we are at the same time anxious to impress sport the public that, acting upon sounder principles than at any former time, the Bank directors have taken these stringent end precautionary measures at • period when their resources are much less exhausted than they wets in 1847, and that there is every reason to hope that the coneequenc• will be to prevent any sash disturbance as then took place. Just let us glum* at the condition of the Bank sow and at that time. _ _ By the returns in the present. week the condition of the Bank stands Si follows : BANIC. OF SNOLAND. Rates of discount, 6 per cent. and 7 per cent. Bullion in the Bank £11.752.000 Private securities Rogers@ of notes 4,657,000 On April 3, 1847, the bullion was reduced to 10,246,9001., ' the private securities stood at 18,136,0001., goo the reserve of notes at 2,832,0001., sad up to that time the rate of discount was kept at 4 per cent. On the 10th of April the bullion had fallen to 9,867,0001., and the reserve of notes to 2,558,0001., cud the rats was robed to 5 per cent ; and, without any material change in the condition of the Bank, it stood at that rate till the 7th of August, when it was raised to 5! per cent. Oa the 18th of September the rate of discount was raised to 6 per east. ; but at that date the bullion was reduced to 8,800,0001., from which it gradually fell to 8,313,0001.. with • reserve of notes of only 1,547,2701, w►en the rate was again raised to 8 per cent., and in the following week the reserve was reduced to 1,176,0001. Ls 1847 the Bank was justly blamed for not taking stringent measures sufficiently early as the chief 1819011 why the monetary difficulties became so eggravated. When the rate of disoount was then refold to 6 tee ant., the bullion in the Bank was reduced below its present amount by about 3,000,0001. There is, therefore, every lesson to hope that the earlier precautions now taken by the Bank will keep the country secure from the derangenteat which it suffered in 1847. 'bads is sound; pekoe are high and importations are profitable, and likely to remain so, stocks being solo+ ; and whether money be a little dearer or a little cheaper is • matter of leas con sequence, 11 only credit besot dersoged.—Bccuomiet.

A committee having been appointed, they arrived at the tollowing resolutions, which they recom mended for the consideration of the council : _ " 1. Tbat bad Australian and Californian gold not bare diaceverad, the prating monetary system could not have bass maintained. "2. That the Legislature, when it paned the last Bank Charter Act in 1844, could not by any possibility have con templated that discovery. 3. That expe r ience has proved that the provisions in that dueler, limiting the issue of notes by the Bank on the government debt to fourteen millions, and beyond that to the amount of bullion held by the Bank, are provisions extrePoly injurious, and not grounded upon any mind "4. That is 1847 these provisions were practically sae peaded; bad that not been the caaa,no man who at all under stands such matters Gan for a moment doubt that all the bullion would have been drawn out of the Bank, sad the notes issued oa the fourteen millions of government debt could not have been paid. "b. That groat fluctuations have taken place in the amount of bullion held by the Bank since the palming of the set of 1844—such fluctuations compelling the Bank at one time to decrease the amount of bank notea in circulation, and thus to create great distress and bankruptcy; and at other times compelling the Bank to purchase gold, and thus vastly . to increase its circulation, thereby causing a rapid rim i n ths price of all property and labour, and thereby creating a temporary prosperity, to be followed by • rescued capon of gold (the rise in prices necessarily pro ducing sack 'sport of gold), and that export compelling the Bank again to reduce the =roust of their notes, great dis tress and bankruptcy twoondemsgain the consequence. "8. That the professed object of the government in pro posing the Bank Charter Act of 1844 was to mitigate these fluctuations, and, as tar as possible, to ensure a steadiness of price, and, ea • consequence, a st eady sad profitable cock ilieroe. . . . "7. That no such effect has been produced. The disco very of gold, and its continued influx, has, is a great degree, lessened these fluctuations, aid prevented the whole system from giviog way. " 8 That the question now is—will the supply of gold eentinue such as to enable us to meet the unavoidably im- I meow drain caused by the war, sad to retain a sufficient quantity for the foundation of a °insisting medium ade quate to the wants of the nation " 9. That this drain will be greatly increased by the neees• eery Import of corn. occasioned by (what is no longer doubted) a great falling off in the crop of wheat for the year 1855. " 10. That the Bank of England saturate be quite aware of this, and is already taking most decided steps to cheek the demand foe gold, by curtailing the lease of its notes, the effect of which will be to &Trete prices, and thus induce the export of goods rather than gold. "11. That it cannot now be stated that then steps are called for by any wild, dangerous speculations in this noun try, for trade is known to be more free from speculation than it has long been. 12. That this drain is mainly caused by the Tarkish loan, a measure proposed by government, and at their re quest sanctioned by parliament ; secondly, by the amount of gold required to pay our troops in foreign countries ; and sow by purchases of wheat being made in every quarter of the world where it can be found. " 13. That, however stringent such measures may be, it would appear impossible that the drain of gold from these mean can be stopped without the suspension of the act of 11844. " 14. That if • much larger amount of gold from the I mines than has hitherto been the ow be net immediately produced, the Bank will be compelled, in self-defence (in what will prove a vein effort to maintain the ' convertibi lity' of its notes), to diminish its circulation to a point which will occasion enormous commercial confusion, bankruptcy, and distress, and render the payment of tales, the raising of loans, the fulfilment of monetary engagements, the employment of labour, and feeding the people, utterly impomible. " 16. That the means enabling the country to tarry on and bring to a successful issue the late war were furnished by the adoption of an exactly contrary course of conduct on tin part of the Bank than that which, by the charter of 1844, the Bank is now compelled to adopt, the issue of its notes being then not restricted to the amount of bullion which happened to be In its coffers, bat issued to an it:tent commensurate with the necessary wants of the government, end the legitimate requirements of commerce. " 18. That the present law, by permitting the Bank to issue • fixed amount, fourteen millions of notes on mere government debt over and above the no tes for which bullion A held in deposit, has proved that, even in times of peace, these vents and nquirements cannot be met by a tirade tins limited by the amount of gold in the Bank. " 17. That inasmuch as one main element of prise is the amount of legal tender pounds' in circulation, it Is mani festly unjust, by diminishing the amount of such legal tender pounds ' artificially to depress prices of all property, and proportion ably to enhance the burden of taxation and all other monetary engagements, merely because of °sen tinel fluctuations in the amount of one article—gold. 18. That the object to be accomplished is to provide and maintain a sufficient steady circulation of legal tender mosey for all internal affairs. At present, °onetime which the public cannot foresee, and over which they can exercise no control, can at once derange all existing contracts, and greatly endanger the best interests of the country. Ai: loos as gold lathe only foundation of the circulation, it is impos• sible to keep a steady and sufficient circulation. In time of peace it has been found impossible so to do; how can it be possible in time of war?" Two meetings of the council have been held, at which Mr. Spooner, M.l'., presided; and alter a very lengthened discussion the council determined, by a small majority, on the adoption of the first two paragraphs only. These will hereafter be laid before a general meeting of the chamber. The resolutions are understood to have been framed mainly by Mr. Spooner himself, but they were unanimously I concurred in by his fair colleagues on the sub-committee.
