Tms remedial measures adopted by the Bank of England in the week before last have thus far been unproductive. The drain of bullion, not, be it observed, from abroad, but simply to meet the wants of our internal circulation, lies been un checked, while the reserve has been hardly main• tamed at its former point, notwithstanding that the Bank has borrowed nearly 800,000/. on Go vernment stock. It will appear strange that while our rate of discount is on the average two per cent. higher than in Paris, Visans, Frankfort, Amsterdam, and Hamburg, we should not have received such supplies of gold from the Continent as would have prevented not only the decrease last week of 447,491/. in the bullion, but would have actually caused an augmentation. As, however, we have before had occasion to observe, the flow of gold theory works very imperfectly in practice. It is true that within the last few days we have received nearly 400,0001. from New York, Africa, Australia, and the West Indies, but even the most enthusiastic supporters of the theory will hardly contend that these amounts have been attracted here by the beneficial working of a rate of 7 per cent. The anomaly is thus shown that gold is regularly sent us from those countries where the rate of interest is almost invariably much higher than in London, while from others where it is usually lower we get little or nothing. The recent arrivals of specie have certainly come at a most opportune moment. The position of the Bank was every day getting weaker, and the apprehension that the rate of discount would have to be put up to 8, or even 9 per cent. was gradually spreading and exciting the usual distrust. In almost every item the last account compares un favourably with the previous year, when the rate was two per cent higher, and trade was passing through a semi-crisis. The following are the principal figures : 1864. 1865. Pablic deposits ..... £7,021234 . • ... £7,228,737 Other deposits 13,206,313 ...... 13,506,498 Government securities 10,172,343 ...... 9,811.342 Other mantles Roam (noire end coin) 6,438,973 Bullion An increase is thus shown of over two millions in the other securities, and a decrease of almost 1,400,090/. in the reserve, and of 270,0001. in the bullion. It is not surprising, therefore, that the announcement of the arrival of the Fes.: with nearly half • million from Australia was welcomed with • feeling of intense relief, which will be strengthened by the news of the further supplies last week. The commercial world was beginning to fear that a panic was at hand—the eared way to bring it about—but the danger has been averted by the fortuitous arrival of about a million in specie. The present day appears to be pregnant with examples of the ill working of our monetary system. The law of supply and demand, so often insisted upon, proves entirely at fault, but a for taunte accident makes up for the deficiency. The advocates of the Bank Charter Act have evidently been entirely unprepared to find that a mere demand for currency for internal circula tion has been accompanied by a pressure as severe as if we were exporting specie by millions. Trade experiences • sudden revival owing to the receipt of large orders from America, and in the manufacturing districts the mills are once more actively employed. There is no doubt that an unusually extensive amount of business is now being done, and that merchants and manufacturers have never bad a surer chance of realizing large profits. In order to do this, however, there is an inevitable absorption of notes and coin, and a consequent demand upon the re sources of the Bank. The reserve necessarily de clines, and in order to counteract this movement no plan is open save to render these business operations as unprofitable as possible. In other words, the rate of discount is raised to a point so as to materially increase the charges in carrying out the orders from the United States, and, as a consequence, to drive the demand elsewhere. It le probably to this reason that the recent changes in the Bank of France account, unusually heavy as they are, are chiefly due. A difference of 2 per cent. in the rate of discount gives to French traders • considerable advantage over our own. The effect of the free-trade system has now placed both nations upon nearly the same level in the point of production. Many proofs have lately been shown that the impulse thus given to foreign manufacture has enabled it to compete guesses fully in markets where formerly we had the entire command. Unshackled by the restric tions which weigh upon English trade, our neighbours can take full advantage of the revival in commerce which has been lately witnessed. The Bank of France account for the past week shows a decline in the bullion of • 1,326,0001., an increase in the bills discounted of 1,207,0001., and in the circulation of 412,0001. These changes, which would have been thought exceedingly disastrous if they occurred at our own Bea, are in Paris considered with truth to be eminently satisfactory as evincing the increased activity is French commerce. As for any feeling of alarm, that is not even thought of ; increased circulation means increased business, and there is ea end of the matter. The expedient of hamper ing trade for the sake of bolstering up • system of currency which with us has admittedly failed is one that finds no favour on the other side of the Channel, and it is to be hoped never will. - IMMO, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 16, 1865. TIN We ass assured that, supposing mar extra.-- wore to take place in the present limit of the Bank note issue, it would defeat Dealt simply be anies further extensioes would be certain to be demsaded, and thus the movement would go on until the circulation were hopelessly depreciated. It is extraordinary that any argument of this sort should be seriously put forth. In the fiat place , the entire distinction between legal tender notes issued at • forced currency and of notes which are actually in demand by the nation at large, and equally valued with gold itself, is entirely over looked. A Government compelling a trader or oontractor to take payment in paper pub; a certain amount of so-celled money in per manent circulation, and if the process be repeated long enough, of course causes the note to be seriously, and in the majority of in stances permanently, depreciated. As regerds the issue by the Bank, the nese is totally altered. Every note lent out must be returned ; it pausal into temporary circulation only, and when once the need that has caused its issue goes by, it ammo rily comes back to the Bank. To revert to the crisis of 1857, the harrowed number of notes issued served the purpose for the time of allaying the panic, but ultimately, when the end was served, I were readily withdrawn from circulation. The I case would be similar now, supposing that the Bank bad the discretionary power of in- 1 1 creasing its issues. After a few months the notes would come back, their use in the meantime having enabled our merchants to sake large profits. If they did not come beck it would simply prove that both the business and the profits were continuing. Let trade become dull, then, instead of renewing loans or dis lanais, the surplus lame of notes would be rapidly paid in. In these points the experience of the Bank of France is decisive. With uniformly a lower rate of discount than in England, it is able to give assistance to commerce which is impossible here, and the currency is no more depreciated one country than the other. Even after the es- 1 oeptionally heavy drain upon the resources of the Bank of France during the put week, its reserve of bullion against notes is little out of proportion with that of the Bank of England—the totals being in the former case 17,500,0001. against 35,740,0001., and in the latter 12,736,3461. against 22,861,769!. There is one point in the present pressure to which less attention has been paid than it deserved, and that is, the certainty that the recent demand for money is not attributable to • desire for over accommodation owing to alarm, but arises solely from the legitimate requirements of trade. That the latter is really the canoe is proved by the compa ratively stationary position of the " other deposits." If money has been taken from the Bank by way of precaution only, it almost invariably returns in the shape of increased balances from bankers. There is no doubt that the increased circulation hes been, and is really needed, and that any at tempt to atop the current must be futile for good and certain to cause harm. It has been urged I with truth that no Government can create capital; 1 but it is not additional capital that is in question now, but improved machinery to use existing capital to the best advantage. In monetary mat ters our policy very much resembles that of • pro tectionist Government, which in time of famine keeps the porta closed in order that the high price of oorn may check consumption.

An official inquiry into the conduct of Mr. Vardy, the pilot in charge of the coolie emigrant ship Eagle Speed, which was wrecked, and upwards of 300 coolies drowned, shortly after leaving the Mutlak on the 20th ult., has resulted in his being dismissed the service. Obituary.—Assistant-Surgeon Montague J. S. Perreau ; Lieut. Francis J. Hnasard, 94th Regi ment. —_ CHINA AND JAPAN. There is little or no news of interest from China. The China Mai/ states that Sir Harry Parkes Chime commenced diplomatic operations in Japan with his usual firmness. On arriving in Yokohama he sur veyed the state of affairs, and being resolved that all the treaty privileges should be observed, and the interests as well as the dignity of Britain cared for, he soon intimated his intention of re-establishing the English Legation at Yeddo, a poet which has always proved one of hononr, because of danger. There was some opposition, but the thing was in sisted upon and carried. So far (says the Mail) this Is what is sometimes called a stop in the right direction ; dangerous, indeed far UN immediate 'Mars, bet, we venture to think, still more dangerous to the Japanese rulers, ehosH any attempt at assassination or incendiarion again recur. The Japanese will spend a little time in " taking the measure" of the new minister ; and on the results of their inspection will de peed the next move on the board. Fortunately, we have a fares in the neighbourhood , and the Japanese know it right well. We bear that the Royal Marines wart to have left, oa the 24th instant, for England. Two companies of the 2nd battalion 11th Regiment will premed very shortly to Japan in her Majesty's ship Adventure, to reinforce the garrison in Yokohama. So much for the prospective se. rarity of life and property is Japan. There was no other way than this, save abandon/mg the coantry altogether, or living like the Dutch at Deeima. To the letter alternative a nation like England could not listen for a moment. Altogether, we expect to see rapid improvement in oar commercial and istamatiooal relations with Japan. olospood amid mos mew dra rooompoom Who propriobon foe go kes ad Weir old.ootabliahod porgaiollos on ➢od sod Omni. The comeniemico proposed by Earl Russell being out of the emetics ss a mans of disposing of the Alabama claims, the Thai* maters, the Drily News observes, is 'moon ditionelly remitted to public opinion. Examining the arguments, the Daily News comas to the conclusion that Mr. Adams has failed to show that our recognition of the Ocededmates se beWgerants was premature. The act may have sometimes been defended on improper grounds, and it may have taken place a day or two too early ; bat the issue of a proclamation announcing as intention to blockade an enormous omit line wm surely a warning to neutral maritime powers to place them selves in definite position towards the belligerent". If this view be correct, it matters not how successful Mr, Adams may he la traeleg the losses his countrymen have sustained by the war to the reeognitioa of the Oodederates es belligerent' by this country ; those losses ue so far merely part of the ordinary incident& of war. With re geed to the facilities gives to the Confederates for building, arming, end equipping ships in our ports, the Daily News says that soma of the ships would have escaped, notwith sisodiag any possible vigilance ; but it censures the wilco of the customs officers who permitted the essays of the Alabama. As to a third complaint, it is impossible to aneertain how far an alteration of the law would have pruested the operations of which the American goverment complains, and therefore impossible to decide how far the refusal of oar government to take that step became • source of further loss to the Uotted I States. Asa malt of this inquiry the Daily News is in dined be thiak that the ass. which Mr. Adams hes pre sented spigot the British government cannot be up ped u a whole, while at the same time it s govern. mut have some grounds of complaint. I cannot for a moment be admitted that we ars absolutely MMIIIIIISNO for all the harm s es to the Americans by vessels built in our ports. W are not bound to pro test the United State. better than we can protect our selves, At the same time the United States government has pound for serious complaints, and it is mush to be ragestied oa all amounts that the offer to refer the whole epenetise to impartial arbitration veu not accepted. The Star now thinks that on the proposal of an arbitra- Moe Lord Rumen has been precipitate, and has added to the difficulties of a position already embarrassing. The state ment published by the Tiers ou Saturday to the effect that Mr. Seward bad recently sent a despatch to From directed spinet the interrentioc in Mexico, is believed by the Star be be • canard, and baud upon the publication of dun' mute more than a year old. The Post thinks it I. no reproach to Mr. Johnson that the work of reoonstruction goes on bat slowly, considering the moderful abeam, social as well as which have bees effected by the late war. If the present government bed consulted their own wishes alone, the Post believes that they would have left slavery is the South as they found it. The pressure which the Abolitionists were enabled to put was the Republicans was, however, too Breit to be diem peeled ; and nothing remained on the submissioe of the eon* but to give practical effect to the emancipatioe pro clamation of the late President. But beyond the right of labouring for wages Witold of subsistence, the government seem disinclined to add much to the negro's political status.

Looking at the oireumataoces connected with the recent outbreak of cholera in the neighbourhood of Eppiag, the Daily NM. says we may safely conclude that the disease was introduced by Mr. Groorabridge, who had lb.= at tacked at Weymouth, and had not recovered when he re turned to his own home ; sad that if we mooed° the pro bability of a oommunicatkes muting between the cesspool of his house and the drinking well, the remaining attack' are explained. If there is one fact more completely proved than my other in the history of cholera, it is the capability of transmission of the disease throegh the medium of drinking-water. It should be borne in mind that the 'Anal material of the disease may be so excessively minute as to defy detectios by the senses, and this &elates exoessive °tousling's. Let us at oace arrive at the ec oviation that the germs of the disease, although rumen, pervade the cholera patient and everything connected with him, and we can easily, by dint of care oo greater than is wed is the powder mistime, prevent the chance of their transportation. hod as regards the dirokiag. water, the matter is even more simple.

What has pared the world ie not aware, bus, as Count Blanarck is pleura, there is disposition to be uneasy. The Convention of Osatsia was received with surprise and displeasure by the Frew& ea well as the English government, and the Tina believes it is mainly, if not entirely, to do away with the bed effect of then aggreselons that the visit of Count Bismarck has been made. If there was anything more im portant to Europe, we shall, no doubt, hear of it in due time. If it be tree that the policy of Count Bismuth will henceforth be one %peeved by the Tuileries. there is reellOa to hope that the Prussian Minister will have catered this desired object by promii us justice to his depeodents sad courtesy to his neighbonis. Let us hops also that—enn. trary to cornet rumours--the °Deliciousness of having pro &teed so beneficial a change will be thought by the Konya roe Napoleon a andiciamt reward. The Herald revers to believe that the interview wee without political results. The vest object of the Emperor is to restore to Franco the frontiers left her by the fix% peace of Freon. If he has, as some say, demanded Bear bracken and Baarlonis as the conditions of his assent to the thaexation of the Duchies, be will have them. Whether be has 'eked for them the Herald doss not premed to know, but certainly does not believe that he will let Prime% have the Duchies for nothing. Perhaps the pries may not be paid by Prussia. France may stipule% as the condition for allowing Prussia to despoil Denmark and trick Austria, the assent of Pram% to her spoliation of some unfortunate third party. At all events, the conviction which was once the great esearity of the minor states, viz., that the Great Powers would not allow the balance to be disturbed and one of their number to aggrandise itself by a violation of treaty rights and good faith, has now altogether gone ; and two Powers, whose tra ditions and whose fancied interest, compel them to watch greedily for every opportunity of increasing their respective territories, are left to bargain together, and bay assist for one robbery by complicity in another. Dr. fine, It will be remembered, regards Mr. Rasura . the dupe of *sling of Abyssinia, and intimates an opinion, oe at least a fear, that the latter may intend to get Mr. Eas sam also into his power and keep him in domes natal all differsnoes between ourselves and Abyssinia are settled. However humiliating the confession, the Times says it is nevertheless true that we can do next to nothing to rescue the prisoners or to protect Mr. Rusam. It would, no doubt, be in our power to inflict condign punishment by despatabing a large army from India to the African cont. The bare threat of this, however, would probably consign our countrymen to a cruel death. The painful dilemma all comes from iaterferiog where we had no duty, no mason, and no business to interfere, and from acting upon the obsolete maxim that it is neeseury foe us to keep up an "influence" in the East. Consul Cameron seems to hav e gone a great deal beyond his instrutioni, to which if he had adhered he woula never hue got within Sing Theo ' don's grasp. Mr. Stern and kis brother missionaries, no 1 1 doubt, went to Abyssinia with a simple desire so spread 1 the Gospel ; but so did Captain Gardiner to Patagoola, and 1 so English government can undertake to insure the lives of 1 1 peens who seek converts beyond the pale of civilisation. The scheme for the new Irish Usiversity bee the dived• vantage of being something very like a surrender of the principle of mixed education, but the Times appears to think 1 1 that the advantages preponderate. Of awn there will be • new building. This is the way we tyrannise over Ireland.

The Melbourne papers are full of comments upon the dead lock between the two branches of the legisla ture. The Legislative Council has rejected the Tariff and the Appropriation Bill, and refused the supplies voted by the Legislative Assembly, whereupon the government has stopped the payments of salaries, wages, and contingencies " until the necessary authority for the expenditure shall have been ob tained." In the principal centres of population and in the outlying country districts large public meetings have been held, at which resolutions in support of the ministry have been carried by over whelming majorities. Of the gold the Age says : The mining intelligence received from the gold fields during the pest month an scarcely be described otherwise than as almost quite destitute of interest for persons at a distance.

The great fleas now consist in the successful tracing of " leads" or veins of gold, the course of which had been temporarily lost, end which, however remunerative to the finders or holden of immediately contiguous claims, fail to attraot masses of population from afar off. NEW ZEALAND. GENERAL CAMERON'S RESIGNATION. CONTINUATION OF THE WAR. Events of importance in their bearing upon the present contest with the Maories are the resignation by General Cameron of his command, bis departure from the colony, and the reduction of the troops. Five regiments, the 40th, 43rd, 65th, GBth, and 75th were under orders for England. The command of the forces, consequent upon this reeignation, has devolved upon Major-General Chute, of Victoria, who bad proceeded to Auckland. Parliament was opened at Wellington on the 23rd of August. Correspondence which has been laid before it, discloses the whole of the unhappy squabble between General Cameron on the one hand and Sir George Grey and the ministry on the other. The Wereroa Pa has been captured by the colo nial troops without their having experienced a single casualty ; 98 Maories on their way to rein force the garrison were taken. Sir George Grey, on the faith of a published letter from Brigadier-General Waddy, states that imperial troops were precluded by instructions from operating against the Pa, and General Cameron has pointedly denied this assertion. While the capture of Wereroa Pa was being effected, the natives attacked in force a neighbouring post at Perikiri, held by a colonial force under Captain Braiwey. They were beaten off with severe loss. At Taranaki a skirmishing party, which bad surprised a village and shot some thirty Maories, was attacked on its return, and Lieutenant Bally and three privates of the 70th were killed, and Lieutenant Traydon and five men were wounded. It is reported that his Ezoellency the Governor 1 wee about returning to Auckland to take active measures to arrest the Rev. Mr. Volkner's mur- 120TOIS. An e normous pah, the largest ever erected, has been thrown up at Otamawro. Copper has been discovered in the Bay of Is lands. Petroleum oil springs have been discovered in New Zealand, but thr exact locality is not men tioned. The gold fields discovered on the west coast con tinue to attract attention, and are being profitably worked. Copper has been found in the northern island.

The Union Company's steam-ship Roman from the Cape of Good Hope, September 13, St. Helena, 22ad, and Ascension, 26th, arrived here this morn ing. She brings 53 passengers, including Count de Bussincourt and the Countess de Lustri from Mar auritius. The Basuto war was being continued at the Cape. No fresh attack had been made upon Thaba Bosigo by the Free State troops. The Boers, however, reported that they had achieved the following successes. Mosbesh, think ing that the Boers would not again attack Thaba Bosigo, advised Letsea to send all his cattle to the mountain and its neighbourhood. Letess did so, and the Boers, in great force, attacked the herds and flocks as they were crossing the valley at the back of the mountain. Some of the stock were captured, but the Basutos succeeded in driving the bulk up the mountain ; 25,000 cattle and 8,000 horses were thus huddled on the top of a mountain not a mile in length and not half a mile in breadth. The Boers placed their camps around the moun tain to prevent the cattle escaping. This had caused frightful mortality among the stook; thou sands had diet of thirst and starvation. The stench was horrible. Basuto women and children had crowded into the Boers' camp. had sued for peace. The terms offered by the Free State government were for the 13aautos to give up Thaba Bosigo, with the munitions of war, all land on this side of the Caledon, pay 30,000 cattle and 60,000 sheep as compensation for thefts, 15,000 cattle and horses for theme of the war, and permit a specia l magistra to reside on the mountain, to superintend hioshesh.

Co.'s steamer Banana on the 11th tact. was Dr. Livingstorie, the otiebrated African traveller. The doctor is about to same in another exploring expedition into the interior of Africa, and has come to Bombay for the purpose of making some preliminary peeper. Won,. The scene of his explorations will be that tract of territory extending between the region which he has already explored and that discovered by Chetah) lipalui He will commence his travels by following the coerce of the river lirmuna, which is in about tea degrees south latitude—towards the north to Lek. Nyasa, and then towards the south to the Tenganyike. Dr. ngstone has already explored the Rovnma for about 150 miles ; bat from that point towards the west the country is totally un- known. The object of the doctor's expedition is partly to open up the country for the purposes of 0011 i. mere% and pertly to carry out the wiahes of the Omgraphioal Society of London by exploring the water shed of Zambeel and the distal* visited by Captain Spate. This latter object pommies great interest is the estimation of the geographers at hems, and they ere desirous of emertaining whether the lakes dionevered by Speka, Orant, and Baker are not supplied by water Sowing still fluther from the south than from any sources yet discovered. The party composing the expedition will be • small one, and in 511 probability will be composed almost entirely of natives. It is net unlikely, indeed, that the doctor may select a few of the satires of this country to accompany him, but this will be determined by circumstances. It is expected that the party will start about the end of Or tuber. Dr. Livingstone bad an interview with his Excellency the Governor of Bombay, end although the nature al it has of course not transpired, yet there is little doubt that every facility will be offend to the doctor to carry oat his project to a successful issue. The doctor, who is the guest of B. L. Tracey, Esq., proceeds to Novick in the course of • day or two, and afterwards to Poonah, where he will stay for some time.
