Were the cossegnences of the pressure confined to the total extinction of all speculative tendencies, they would be comparatively easy to be borne, even in a great commercial community like ours, where many of the operation; are neesesarily prompted by sp.- Gelation. But the results extend farther : all branches of trade, even the very soundest, are being affected by the dearness of money, and by the difficulty of obtaining accommodation sport mercantile bills having anycoosiderable period to ran. There is no disguising the fact, that we are in the midst of a monetary pressuniof greater intensity than has boon witnessed since the disastrous autumn of 1847; and it is beyond a doubt that, unless some amelioration be shortly experienced, the commerce of the country will be considerably restricted, and the national profits, so important to the enoesadal prosecution of the great contest in which we are engaged, will be sensibly curtailed. Within the brief period of six weeks—the Bask having raised Its rate of discount to 4 per cent. so recently as the 6th September—we have witnessed a rise in the value of money front Si to 8 and even 7 per cent. During this remarkably rapid movement, whilst the market was in its transi tion stage, we judged it beet to do oar utmost to Local este the necessity of groat caution. With this view we have almost daily, even at the risk of reiteration and misconstruction, enumerated the various adverse elements affecting the market; and this we have done the more emphatically because hi other quarters pertinacious attempts have been made to explain away the cause' of anxiety, and to lull the public mind into false, and therefore &aprons, security. Experience has shown that the period of transition, when a sudden contraction of trading and specula tive engagements is neceesitated, is usually one of great danger; and thus the community may congra tulate themselves on having passed through so cri tical a phase without sensible embarrassment. That our cautions view was well founded is fully proved by the result. To inlet upon caution now would be super flume, tbeexisting ratted money being amply enficient to enforce extreme circumspection in every branch of trade. A great step has thus been gained towards pre venting aggravation of the present premiere, and esta blishing a foundation for future recovery. Instead of launching out into fresh operations, merchants throughout the kingdom are now engaged in rigidly restricting them. Regrettable as is this contraction of trade, it will tend to render accommodation more eery of attainment. Under present circumstances the proems is necessary, although painful. Fortified by the stronger basis now secured, and by the continucd extraordinary firmness of commercial credit, we are enabled to face with increased confidence the adverse influences which threaten the stability of our mone tary position. These dangers, unfortunately, ere sufficiently grave. The war and the food question form two serious elements of disturbance, which are further aggra vated by the critical position of monetary affairs in France. To the requirements of the war we have repeatedly called attention. They will aoudads be heavy, and will oared= large withdrawals of eoio. Besides, no inconsiderable proportion of the sum will never yield say direst esters. The war expendi ture, though unavoidable, is not reproductive. Never theless, we are perfectly satisfied that, were our position is other respects satisfactory, the bge dens of the war would not constitute any serious brill to the vest resources of this rich country, swelled by the accumulations of a forty years' peace. Reverting to the food question, we see cause for further anxiety.

It appear., how ever, that way well-lohniesel persons in Paris doubt whetbas the ends am be thus averted, and express a belief that ere long we shall witness a suspension of ash payments by the Bank of France. It will be seen from the tenor of these remarks that, whilst recognbing the existence of several causes of anxiety, we regard the monetary position of this country se in itself perfectly sound. Yet, if these bullion operations of the Bank of Franco be carried to any further considerable extent, they threaten, coming in addition to our other dill:shies, to bring oa a cries here. It is true that there is meson to believe that all the gold withdrawn from the Bank of England does not leave the °pantry. The private banks are understood to hold at present no lees than two millions of bullion and specie. Liberal arrivals of gold too frunaustralia, wand which we re port to-day,may prove an important palliative, and the inherent healthiness of trade an effectual safeguard. Nevertheless, the position of affairs is critical, and is bringing the provisions of the Bank Charter Aet of 1844 into grave discussion. In Liverpool, especially, some of the leading merchants are in viting public attention to this matter. For our own part, we are no admirers of the Act, and would gladly hail the removal of many of the trammels which it imposes--an enactment which might be tolerated in 1844 being sadly inadequate to the enlarged require ments of commerce in 1864 and 1856. In deprecation of the adoption of hasty conclusions, we would at the same time point out that the existing causes of anxiety are essentially different from those which prevailed in 1847, when a relaxation of the Act was authorised by the extraordinary interposition of Go vernment. Then, the rottenness of our commerce wu the disturbing agent; now, trade is mead, but an adverse bullion movement is in pro gress. This movement oar Bank is endeavouring to cheek by a ries in the value of money. The question is, will it ;mooed ? On the other hand, would not an incenses& issue of notes, such as would be occa sioned by a relaxation of Peel's Aot, accelerate the efflux of gold P It is unfortunate that upon this cur rency question so many men have strong pre conceived opinions, to which they seem to consider themselves bound to adhere under all circumstances, howsoever dissimilar. Let us, however, not judge hastily, and recollect that the Act in question has never yet been subjected to the test of war. The monetary pressure upon our commerce may possibly become so serious as to constitute an evil of greater magnitude than any other at present surrounding us, and in this cue the commercial community would cer tainly appeal for the interposition of Go- maenad. Currency laws, let it be remem bered, were made to promote commerce, and limy provisions are found to shackle it, they must be swept away or modified. Our advise to the mer cantile community would therefore be, to watch the progress of affairs warily, but with confidence in the soundness of our commerce, and in the willingness of Goveremeut to interpose, should necessity arise. At the same time we cannot help expressing our belief that a notification from Government to the effect that they are prepared in such caw to afford relief, would go far towards sustaining confidence. Were Parliament in session, this assuranos would probably be readily obtained. Having just prorogued the meeting of the Legislature to the 11th December, Ministers have voluntarily amused a grave responsi bility, and we therefor, the mere earnestly press this point upon their atteutims. We have not forgotten how miraculously the Treasury letter of the 25th Oct., 1847, authorising the Bank to make extraordi nary advances upon "approved securities" at even the high charge of 8 par cent., converted borrowers of money into leaders, and led to a rapid recovery of the prostrated mouneree of the country. FRENCH OFFICIAL DESPATCHES. Yesterday's ifonueur contains the following de spatches, is which Admiral Brost narrates the facts attending the surrender of /Unbars to the Allied Bests : The folinktor of Marino has received from Admiral Bract the following despatches: I' IEIIMMIX, Om. 17. " The fort of Kinburn and the new works erected on this peninsula are in our power. Our lose is un important. I , KINBURN, Oar. 17. "On the morning of the 14th of October the squadron left the roadstead of Odom as soon as the heavy easterly winds, which had checked their op.- rations since the Bth of October, had ceased. In the evening of the same day they anchored off /Unbars. "In the night four French gonboate—the Tina lens., Strident., Meurtriere, and Matins—sent by _ _ Rear-Admiral Ballots, under the orders of Lint. Alientand, of the Cacique, tailed with five English gunboats through the pad of Otoohakow, and entered the Dnieper. " The next day, 0 ct.15, at day-break, the troops ___ _ _ wen landed at :boat 4,500 metres - from the place io the south of it. In the aftranonn the bomb-ketehee opened their fire; but they were obliged to suspend it when night fell, on account of the swell, which rendered the aim uncertain. "The satire day of the 16th was nearly lost for us, as the winds WA veered round to the south-west. no troops were occupied in entrenching themselves and making recannaimeanoes towards the south. The gunboats in the Dnieper were alone able to annoy the place. "The wind having shifted to the north daring the night, we were engaged early in the morning, Admiral Lyons and myseU, in causing to be put into execution the plan of attack arranged on the previous evening, agreeably to the soundings taken by Captain Bpratt, of the Spitfire, and Lieutenant Close, of the Brandon, assisted by Messrs. Ploix and Manes, hydrographk engineers. At 20 minutes pest 9 the three floating batteries, the Devastation, Lave, and Tosnants, opened their the. " The sowed they obtained on this day hes an. awned all the hopes of the Emperor. The rampart' they battered presented very speedily and on several points predicable breaches. . - "The French and English mortar vessels opened their fire at 46 minutes peat 9. Their aim, rectified by the signals of the paddle steamer, was most ad mirably directed. I attribute to them in a great measure the quick surrender of the plane. "The five French gunboats, the Greaade, niche Flamm, and Alarm*, sustained by six English gunboats, took up their positions nearly at the same time as the mortar vessels. Their aim riooehetted very advantageously the open batteries (a baraate), which were contending against the floating lanais.. " Aa soon as the firing of the place had slackened, our gunboat' advaneed;at the signal given by the Captain of the Grenade, M. Janregniberry, to the line formed by the floating battering. They were accompanied in this movement by the English gun boats. ,4 Precisely at •oos, the ship. followed by the hi- gates, carveUm and paddle.stiamers, got tip steam. The ships famed on a front line; they oast anchor and lay with their broadsides to the forts at • die. tunas of 1,600 metres in 261 feet of water. At the same moment, six English frigates commanded by Rear-Admiral Stewartand three French frigates under the orders of Rear-Admiral Pillion, the Aemodhe, Cacique, and Sankmade foe the pus of Otschakow in order to take the forts of Lisburn in the rear. The English ship, the Hannibal, advanced to the middle of this pass. Generals Bauble and Spencer brought up their riflemen sad field-pieces to about 400 metres from the place. " These bold manouvres and the imposing front presented by the nine French and English ships, broadsides on and bowsprit to stern, thundering with all their guns, had a decisive effect. At thirty-live minutes poet one, observing that the fort of 'Unborn fired no longer, although the northern works con tinued still to make use of their mortars, Admiral Lyons and myself thought it right to respect the courage of the heave Mows we were fighting spinet ; etmarquently we made the signal to cease firing, and hoisted the flag of trace, sending a French boat and an English one on shore. "The forts •eespted the capitulation offered. The garrison left the place with the honours of war and gave themselves up a prisoners. Our troops occupy all the Russian works. "Tile capitalatioa stipslated that the plass should be given up to us in the state it was then in. We take possession, therefore, of the enemy's stores and maul dons. Admiral Lyons and myself are sending the surgeons of the two squadrons to tend the Russian wounded, numbering about eighty. "The number of prisoners is from twelve to fifteen hundred. We are going to occupy ourselves with forming hare a solid establishment." The following telegraphio menage has been re ceived from Itear-Admiral Sir E. Lyons : " Off the Mouth of the Dnieper, Oct. 17. "The three forts in the /Unbars ipit, mounting upwards et 70 guns, and garrisoned by 1,300 men, sada.

The manalties in the fleet were very few. bet the enemy had 46 killed and 130 wounded.

According to these despatches it was thought that a grand encounter between the two armies would take place about the 20th, for it appeared quite impossible that the Russians could be able to prevent the French from advancing against Baktchi-Berai. General Gortcha koff had therefore only the alternative of either ac cepting a battle, or making a retrograde movement behind the Belbek, to endeavour to reach Simphe ropol. The journals trace oat also numerous plans of campaign, all probably as problematical as the news of a great battle on a fixed day. They also speak of an account said to have been received, in a letter from Bucharest of the 9th, of the appearance of a number of gunboats belonging to the combined fleet, off Ismail. The bombardment of that strongly fortified piece of Bessarabia is said by that account to have commenced. The joaruals, however, add that this new' has nothing of an official character in it, and we can omelets say that letters have reached Paris from Bucharest of the 9th, which are silent on the subject. the Bound tolls, the quantity of goods passing this strait as well is the Belts, combined with the na tionality of the ships." Count de Moray, President of the Legislative Body, has just received from the Sultan, through the bands of the Turkish ambassador, the insignia of the Imperial Order of the Medjidis of the first clam. In consequence of a decision of the Minister of State that henceforth all dramatic pieces submitted to the Commission of Censorship should be examined in the absence of the writers, the Committee of Dra matic Authors presented a memorial to the minister on the subject. The minister has, however, resolved that his first decision shell stand good, but that a new functionary shall be appointed, whose special duty will be to receive the observations of the authors, and who will have the power of reversing the decision of the commission, if the observations of the authors appear to be well founded. At the Bourse to-day the telegraphic despatch confirming the news of the fall of !Unborn produced a favourable feeling at the opening of the market. The Three per Cents. obtained a slight ries to 64f. 400. The Mobilier advanced to 1,2001., and there was a general improvement of 10f. and 16f. on the railway shares; but, as the monetary crisis continues to ex cite uneasiness, prices soon receded, and the Threes were quoted at from 64f. 26c. to 64f. 300. The prices of the Benter looked up at the end of the market. There was a report that Marshal Pelissier had begun active operations in the Crimea. Many purchases were effected for money in the shares of the principal French railway companies. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. Maim OVAL OWN PARIS, SUNDAY BUNNING. It is affirmed that the Universal Exhibition will be reopened in the month of May next year. According to another rumour, circulated to-day, General Canrobert will shortly be appointed to a command. It is added, that a grand army is to be formed, which is to remain in France ready for any eventuality. Letters from Turin state that the Chevalier Mounds, Secretary to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, is to be appointed Minister Plenipotentiary of Sardinia at Madrid. The same correspondence an nounces that the new Minister of Instruction, M. Lanza, who has lately published a new plan of W- I strut:don, has not succeeded in conciliating the sym pathise of any one. His system is dictated partly by • religious and partly by a military spirit, the absur dity of which is striking ; it Is more suitable for a college of Jesuits than for a free nation. The subscription opened at Turin in favour of the Piedmontess army in the Crimea has already reached 60,000 francs. The brigade of Light Cavalry are under orders of embarkation, and, it is understood, will proceed to Bupatoria, Lord George Paget commanding. The 13th Light Dragoons bays been embarking at Bala klava to-day. It is difficult to understand, consider ing the little probability of the services of this body of troops being required in their present position, why they were not sent to Eupatoria a month ago. Them, in conjunction with the French and Turkish cavalry, they might have been employed with ad vantage in harassing detachments, or cutting off con voys proceeding to the enemy. At this late period of the season there will be risk and difficulty in convey ing the necessary stores of forage and grain which will be required should the brigade, as seems likely, remain there during the winter. The exposed nature of the bay, open as it is to the effects of storms from the south-west, and the experience of last November, point out the difficulties that may be anticipated in this respect. A force, amounting to 1,500 men, of the beige train artillery, is also under orders to move, and the supposition among the troops is that they also are destined for Eupatoria. It is net easy to reconcile the departure of this arm of the service for defensive purposes, with the general belief; which holds, that the enemy is retiring towards Foretop; bat the explanation given is that, not being required at Sebastopol, our artillerymen are going to take the place of Ottoman troops who are leaving for the seat of war in Asia. The reports respecting the departure of the Rus sian army are very contradictory. Certainly the encampments on the Intermian heights have dimi nished in extent during the last few days. There is neither the same number of tents, nor, aa he as tele scopic observations afford information, are there the *awe evidences of movement and activity. Bet these troops may have only moved to occupy other posi tions. On the north 'Meet the roadstead, the camps have also diminished in size and number.

Despatches which have reached the French Government announce that Marshal Peliasier and General Simpsea bun can silenced great operations. We read is the Patrii r menu are removed, the forts on the north side o f t h e roadstead, and the fortified positions alai t Mackenzie heights, cannot be abandoned. Gn a w D'Allonville, commanding the cavalry dieig et at Eupatoria, is said to have reported that body, of troops have balm moving toward Perekop, b y the roads of the interior. Troops can only mantl e very small bodies at a time from tiimpheropol to Perekop, or, if is oonslderable force, must be rapidly conveyed, and water carried also. The only Im o , afforded by the country is found is wells, end t h e supply from these sources is very limited is qu a d % and; brackish and bad in quality. It will N a i to great dexterity and caution on the part of the Rael k commanders to evacuate the Crimea in the midst t g the difficulties by which they are surrounded, with. out serials losses, if our Generals are on thaw ed . The French troops continue to advance in a soak, easterly direction from Baidar, approaching rew ei g e the valley of the Belbeck river. News hen b out received in camp of a force of three battalions cd French troops coming upon a Russian position Mei one of the sources of the Belbeck among the Surdas range of hills. It was occupied by a force at bur double that of the French; but at the approach of the latter the Russians hastily abandoned the pi. L tion and fled.' Notwithstanding that a general belief prevail; before mentioned, that the expedition which left b re days ago is to prcoeed to the northern coast of the Blreft Bea, and not to Eupatoria, there is still an expects, tion that a combined attempt will be made either surround or to carry by direct attack the Ramis position on the Mackenzie heights and north ide the harbour. The men of the Highland Blois* as well of the First and Third Divisions, s impressed with the belief that they are rear* for some movement of this nature. It has even bee rumoured that the attack would not be delayed =ay days. All is, however, uncertainty on thin toted, Whatever may be the plan of operation of the Allied commanders, it is very wisely kept closely secret,asi officers holding high positions have little ammo. tunity of drawing deductions or forming opicices oa the subject, than is afforded to persons of all mak s by the knowledge of the facts and circometeaces d the passing time. The Turkish force in the plinks been reduced in strength. About 15,000 Ottawa troops embarked at Balaklava to-day, to proceed to Batoum. An agreeable and beneficial change of wrath, took place on the 6th instant, and has continuedinas that to the present date. The two preceding days had been wet, gloomy, and cold, but • sudden hub sition occurred on the morning of the day aua• tioned, and we have since been favoured with a flu, genial, almost summer-like temperature and also phere. _ The two battalions of the First Royal Regimest marched to Namara the day before yesterday, ui joined the Highland Division, to form part of du Second Brigade. - Preparations are being everywhere made ameg the divisions on the heights near Sebutopol to tie sheds and shelter of a more substantial kind the tents, spinet the trying severities of the appeashie winter. The wood which is still to be obtained from some of the buildings in the town, though wade the enemy's fire, is found to be of very great anew in the onstration of stabling, cooking plea, sul for many other purposes for which provision oxide be made sway from the neighbourhood of the army. Four shipleeds of huts have arrived, bat they an d a different construction from those sent out lut ante s and, u no lea than five distinct kinds have Lied it requires some key or descriptive return to seals the authorities to make the necessary Rapeseed packages, and give the necessary dirtotiona Ice the proper erection. Unfortunately this explanation bas not arrived with the huts, so that at present they must remain in store, and continue so until the descriptions arrive, or endless confusion in their he tribution would result. OUR ARMY IN THE CRIMEA. (FROM OUR SPECIAL CAMP, SEBASTOPOL, Ocr. 8. The expedition to which I alluded in my last letter sailed the day before yesterday. The force was not se great as was generally believed that it would be, the French contingent of land troops not exceeding eight thousand men. General Spencer's brigade of four regiments, the battery of Held artillery, and a handful of cavalry, just enough for vidette duties, make up about two thousand five hundred men. All the screw line-of-battle-ships, as well as the smaller steamers, have left. The mortar-vessels had pre ceded the force some days. It is generally believed that the object of this expedition is the bombard ment and destruction of the forts at the entrance of the sea-inlet which receives the waters of the two rivers Bug and Doeiper. One of these forts is on the promontory known u Kinbnrn, the other on a jetting point of the mainland immediately opposite, and both are said to be within perfect reach of the fire of our gunboats. The occupation of Cape Kin barn, commanding, as this position does, the passage by water both of Kherson and Nicolaieff, will be the source of great annoyance to the enemy, and in all probability thwart the execution of some plans that are said to have ken determined upon against our ports in the Crimea; to be carried into effect at the first opportunity after the blockading ships have been compelled to retire for more secure shelter. Beyond doubt the departure of the blockading ships, under ordinary circumstances, would be the signal for com munication between Odessa and the two towns already mentioned ; and this, at least, should Kinburn be taken, will be prevented. It is not improbable that Odessa itself will be visited by the expedition on its way, though the pre parations do not warrant the belief that anything beyond a demonstration will be undertaken. Ac cording to the reports of some of the prisoners of war ' who have lately returned from being exchanged at that part, the destruction and capture of the town and fortifications would not be so difficult a matter as some have represented. The alleged increase of de fences since the former bombardment of the military works of the port is said to have been much exagge rated. The appearance of the fleet and mortar vessels before Odessa will not merely cease alarm in the place itself, but probably draw from Nicolaieff the 6 troops which are stationed there ready to march either towards Perekop or Odessa, according to ! exigency. THE FIRST RUSH AT THE MALAHHOFF. A mistake his arisen in supposing that the ea assaulting columns got into the Korniloff bastion as es Bth of September by means of the bridge. This Wel eA so. The bridge was net thrown woes until snot minutes after the Ist Regiment of Zoltan—the tette lion being about 700 strong—had crossed the disda climbed th► parapets, and got into the work. A psi number of the 7th Regiment of the Liss, which follows* the Zowee, also got into the work by climbing see each farm of it. The way the bridge was enamel was this:—Lugo rollers, not unlike Baldish geode rollers, wers.brought to the edge of the diteh.;ffiroor plea of sufficient length were then laid oa *bees sad thrust owe to the °prod* side, where, the ends Wog provided wok spikes for the purpose, they became Aced in the slops of the parapet near the original situation of the here, all uses of which, however, had been destroyed by the projectile di* charged against it, and the &Wog earth sad giber teem above. The advantage of this plait, over the ordinary pr of scaling ladders employed by us, was that a bridge we made foithe immediate passage of field artillery to deimi the work, when taken against attacks in the test to w cover it.
