AMONG Englishmen of all shades of opinion there is but one wish for Franco—that she may be tran quil, prosperous. and great. The consciousness that Englishmen and Frenchmen have struggled and died, side by side, for the attainment of the sense great object, has Mimed this kindly sentiment throughout the land. And it is strengthened by • sense of the growing identity of the interests of the two countries. The deep due which so many English capitalists have in extensive industrial enterprises in all parte of France, and the daily multiplying rami fications of our commercial intercourse, are such that any shock gives to mercantile prosperity is France mast be felt to the eon of England. At this moment, moreover, the nations are partners in a great undertaking, that will severely task the energies of both, and have incurred conjoint liabilities with a view to its successful prosecution. We trust, that that the motives which induce us to rains a voice of warning against the unsound flossaisi par which prevails in that country, and withis lie; Government too certainly fosters, will not be nsi►l construed. We know that we speak the opinions of not • few of the most intelligent and experienced members of the moneyed interest of France; and seeing that any monetary crisis in France would tell with fearful force on our own money markets, we have a right to speak. Since the restoration of the Empire the great finan cial aim of the French Government has been the development of credit. Signal good has unques tionably resulted from many of the decrees which have emanated from the Imperial councils. Great industrial enterprises have been undertaken, and conducted with energy; public works of all kinds have been advanced. There has been ample employ ment for the labouring classes, who have in conse quence been in comfortable circumstances, and ac quiring habits of regular industry and prudent fore sight. The employers have thriven in all the manufacturing districts. We receive daily the moat pleasing accounts of the aspect of affairs in all the great centres of French manufacturing industry. The resources of the nation have been enor mously developed, and the public: revenue has shown an elasticity beyond what the most sanguine could have anticipated. But under neath this prosperous surface has lain the quicksand of credit strained to encourage excessive specula tion, and to invert the great and only safe principles of political economy. Attempts have been made, by artificial regulations, to cheapen bread when defi cient ha to necessarily enhanced its price. Unre munerative labour bas been provided for the unem ployed, in order that the people might find work at any coat. Magnificent public buildings have been erected to flatter the national vanity. A largq, State expenditure has been persisted in. To be brief, not only has the activity of credit been increased by artificial stimulants, but by its aid an expenditure—public and private has been indulged in beyond what the national re sources warrant. These have been the prominent features of Imperial finance : but—as under the old Empire—all such devices to hide the real state of affairs entail a heavy retribution upon those who practise them. Sooner or later such inflation must be followed by collapse. Among the errors into which the Imperial Govern ment has fallen, the most prolific of evil, that which enhances the deleterious operation of all the rest, is the arbitrary interference with the natural course of the money market. In this respect the institution of the ertldit Mobilie► has pie-eminent claims upon our attention. That company was established under Government auspices, with a view to enlarge the basis of credit in Francs. The operations of this gigantic establiyhment in supporting the Bourse, when ei t herove e-s peen lation has praluced its inevitable re-action, or adverse political features, have depressed public securities, have been watched with anxiety by the most judicious financiers of Paris--an anxiety which • brief retrospect will amply justify. The Joint Stock Company (Sociiii d•onyme) of the o•ldit Alobiher was authorised by a decree of 18th November, 1852. Its social capital amounts to 60 millions of trance, in 120,000 shares of 500 franca each, entirely paid up, and payable to bearer. After the complete employment of the "social" funds, the obligations created by the company may amount to ten times its capital, or 600 millions of franca. It is anthcrised to deal in all kinds of public murkier, and securities of companies established or to be establi+hed; to issue bonds (me propess obliga tions) equal in amount to the sums it employs is pur chasing or subscribing for shares; to sell or pledge all kinds of shares, bonds, or obligations, or exchange them for others ; to make offers for all kinds of loans or public works, and to cede or sell them ; to lend on pubic fonds, on the deposit of shares and other public securities, and to open current credit accounts on the deposit of such securities ; to rrceive money on accounts current; to under take the business of companies, pay their dividends, fie.; to take charge on deposit of all titles to shares in the various enterprises it is authorised to engage in. The administration of the affairs of the company is vested in a council of fifteen, and five administrators, who execute the decrees of the council. The general meeting (which is held once a year—in April) is composed of 200 of the largest shareholders : a quorum may be formed by forty members, representing the tenth part of the social capital. The extent to which the operations of a company thus constituted and administered, and embracing so wide a field of action, may affect the industrial enterprise of France and Europe, may be inferred from a glance at the various companies which are working ander its auspices and management. There are the Company of Austrian Railways ; the General Omnibus Company ; the General Maritime Company (constituted to conduct the transportation of Coolies to the French West India Islands); and among French railways that of the South, of the Pyrenees, of the Ardennes, and the Great Central Railway. Nor is the company satisfied with these enormous speculations—meddling with every department of en terprise in many countries: our readers will have seen, by our yesterday's impression, that it is actually in treaty for a contemplated Portuguese railway, and for the projected railway from Venice to Trieste. Well may a contemporary say—" Ws doubt whether anything 90 grand has been seen in Francs sines the days of the Law and Mississippi scheme." The Credit Mobiliar is, in feet, a rival, and in all monetary wises a counteragent to the Bank of France. When the latter seeks to impress upon the specula tive public the necessity of reefing their sails, the Credit Mobsiier eneosinges and 'sables then to hoist all sail. In this it is hacked by the same Govern ment which we ban ma interfere, within these few days, to prevent the Bank of Praise front adopting the prudent aid necessary measure of raising its rate of dimwit. The finaneiel peltefet the illiepiee l which these facts reveal in• so startling a light, has undeniably had the effect Of encouraging, and serer' ously extending throughout France, a speculative mania—to which the country has at all times been too much predisposed. Capitalists—small and large—have left the slow pursuit of conunsecial profit to embark in ventures at the Bourse. At Court, in the streets, in theatres, sad pints saloons, the rig and tall of Reties or Shares form the great topic of discus sion aid personal interest. Moo feel, as they walk the Boulevards and mark the ezoited faces discussing in groups the fluctuations of the day, that such a state of things is a national evil, and pregnant with ruin to innumerable individuals and families. True, the resources of Frazee are enormous—true, her revenue has largely increased, and, with political security, there is every hope for her future ; but these bright spots on her national horizon are for the time overcast by a monetary system the evil fruits of which are already beginning to be recognised. The general fall in securities in Paris, and the enormous daily oscillations of the Bourse, are warnings that speak trumpet-tongued. Natural events have already occasioned a great pecu niary drain in France, which is certain to continue, perhaps to increase. There is a deficient harvest, which renders necessary extensive orders for foreign oorn. The war necessarily leads to a large expenditure, which, for the present, at least is entirely unproductive, and much gold is finding its way to the East, where it appears to be hoarded and re tained. The French people have already suffered much from this expenditure. Taxes are on the increase, while various schemes to cheapen food and provide employment are partially abandoned. This necessarily trying state of affairs cannot but be aggravated by anything that obstructs the self. curative process by which commercial difficulties work out their own removal, or encourages imprudent expenditure and rash speculation when prudent cau tion is most needed. Hitherto, whatever the discon tent of the higher classes, everything has been done, and with temporary success, to propitiate the lower. But the ebb and flow of the sea is not more certain than the national perils which ensue fres national errors. The phenomena of the Parisian Bourse, to which we have been adverting, warrant the most lively fears that this truth will ere long find a practical illustration in France. Amid the popular discontent which a monetary crisis would produce, the position of NAPOLEON 111. would he one of extreme peril. The supporters of his dynasty have been mainly conciliated by a belief that it wee a guarantee for national tranquillity. In the day of trial now impending, not only may such hotbeds et gaming and pawning as the Credit Mobilier be swept away, but the stability of the throne may be shaken to its base. For the sake of France—for the sake of England, we desire that such a crisis may be averted ; and for this reason, we hail with plea. sure such indications of a return, on the part of the French Government, to sounder economical principles es the admirable remarks recently published it the ltlensiteur on the natural laws which regulate the bode ht grain.

The attack on the Malakhoff it has already been stated, was directed by General Baguet. General McMahon was the first to lead his division to the breach, having the Zonaves of the Guard for &reserve. General de la Motterouge led the next division, hav ing the Grenadiers and the Voltigeurs of the Goard ' as a reserve. This division attacked the curtain which connects the Malakhoff to the Redan. The following is the order addressed by General Baguet to the troops under his command immediately before going into action : "Soldiers of the second corps and of the reserve.) On the 7th of June you had the honour to strike proudly the first blow right to the heart of the Rus sian army. On the 16th of August, on the Tchernays, you inflicted a most shameful humiliation upon the enemy's army of relief. To-day it is the coup de grace, the coup riot*, that you are about to strike with that firm hand which the enemy knows so well, by carrying his line of defence at the hoff, while our comrades of the English army and of the First Corps will commence the assault of the Redan and the Central Bastion. " This is a general ammult--army against army. It is an immense victory, with which the young eagles of France ars this day to be orowned. " Forward, then. enfant!

THE ASSAULT . itASTOPOL. OFFICIAL DESPATCHES (FROM A GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY.) This most anxiously expected intelligent* only reached London early this morning. Ite bearer, the Hon. Major Carson, crowd last night from Boulogne to Folkestone in the tidal steamer, and left at 9.15 for London by special train. War Department, September 22,1865. Major the Honourable Leicester Curzon arrived this morning with a despatch from General Simpson to Lord Panmure, of which the following is a copy : Before Sebastopol, September 9, 1855. My Lord,—l had the honour to apprize your Lord ship in my despatch of the 4th instant, that the Engineer and Artillery Officers of the Allied Armies had laid before General Pelletier and myself a report recommending that the assault should be given on the Bth instant, after a heavy fire had been kept up for three days. This arrangement I agreed to, and I have to congratulate your lordship on the glorious results of the attack of yesterday, which has ended in the pos session of the town, dockyards, and public buildings, and destruction of the last ships of the Russian fleet in the Black Sea. Three steamers alone remain, and the speedy captors or sinking of these must speedily follow. It was arranged that at twelve o'clock in the day the French columns of assault were to leave their trenches, and take possession of the Malakhoff and adjacent works. After their nooses had been as-1 eared, and they were fairly established, the Redan was to be assaulted by the English; the Bastion, Central, and Quarantine Forte on the left, were simultaneously to be attacked by the French. At the hour appointed our Allies quitted their trenches, entered and carried the apparently impreg nable defences of the Malakhoff with that impetuous valour which characterises the French attack ; and, having once obtained pcssemion, they were never dislodged. Thetrioolour planted= the parapet was the signal for our troops to advance. The Lieute i for the attack I entrusted to Sir William Codrington, who carried out the details in concert with Lieutenant- General Markham. I determined that the Second and Light Divisions should have the honour of the assault, from the cir commence of their having defended the batteries and approaches against the Redan for so many months, and from the intimate knowledge they possessed of the ground. The fire of our artillery having made as much of a i breach as possible in the salient of the Redan, I de cided that the oolumns of assault should be directed against that part, u being less exposed to the heavy flanking fire by which this work is protected. It was arranged between Sir W. Codrington and Lieut.-General Markham that the assaulting column of 1,000 men should be formed by equal numbers of these two divisions, the column of the Light Division to lead, that of the 2nd to follow. They left the trenches at the preconoerted signal, and moved across the ground preceded by a covering party of 200 men, and a ladder party of 320. On arriving at the crest of the ditch, and the ladders placed, the men immediately stormed the parapet of the Redan, and penetrated into the salient angle. A most de termined and bloody contest was here maintained for nearly an hour, and, although supported to the utmost, and the greatest bravery displayed, it was found impossible to maintain the position. Your lordship will perceive, by the long and sad list of casualties, with what gallantry and self-devo tion the officers so nobly placed themselves at the head of their men during this sanguinary conflict. I feel myself unable to express in adequate terms the sense I entertain of the conduct and gallantly exhibited by the troops, though their devo tion was not rewarded by the success which they so well merited, but to no one are my thanks more justly due than to Colonel Windham, who gallantly headed his column of attack, and was fortunate in entering, and remaining with the troops, during the contest. The trenches were, subsequently to this attack, so crowded with troops that I wu unable to organise a second assault, which I intended to make with the Highlanders under Lieutenant- General Sir Colin Campbell. who had hitherto formed the reserve, to be supported by the third division under Major-General Sir William Eyre. I, therefore, sent for these officers, and arranged with them to renew the attack the following morning. The Highland Brigade occupied the advanced trenches during the night. About eleven o'clock the enemy commenced exploding their magazines,' and Sir Colin Campbell having ordered a small party to advance cautiously to examine the Redan, found the work abandoned ; he did not, however, deem it necessary to occupy it until daylight. . . The evacuation of the town by the enemy was made manifest during the night. Great tires appeared in every part, accompanied by large explosions, under the cover of which the enemy succeeded in withdrawing their troops to the north side by means of the raft-bridge recently constructed, and which they afterwards disconnected and conveyed to the other side. Their men-of-war were all sunk during the night. The boisterous weather rendered it altogether impossible for the Admirals to fulfil their inten tion of bringing the broadsides of the allied fleets to bear upon the Quarantine Batteries ; but an ex cellent effect was produced by the animated and well-directed :fire of their mortar vessels, those of her Majesty being under the direction of Captain Wilcox, of the Odin, and Captain Digby, of the Royal Marine Artillery. It now becomes my pleasing duty, my lord, to Om) on record the high sense I entertain of the conduct of this army since I have bad the honour to command it. The hardships and privations endured by many of the regiments during a long winter campaign are too well known for me to comment upon. They were borne both by officers and men with a patience and unmurmuring en durance worthy of the highest praise, and which gained them the deserved applause and sympathy of their country. _ _ _ The Naval Brigade, under the command of Cap tain the Honourable Henry Koppel, aided by Captain MOOllOlll, and many gallant officers and seamen who have served the guns from the coin- 1 1 menoement of the siege, merit my warmest thanks. The prompt, hearty, and efficacious co-operation of Her Majesty's Navy, commanded by Rear- Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons, and ably emended by Sir Houston Stewart, has contributed most materially to the success of our undertaking ; and here, perhaps, I may be permitted to say that, if it had pleased God that the successful result of this memorable siege should have been reported by my ever to be lamented predecessor in this command, I am sure that it would have been one of his most pleasing duties to express the deep sense which I know he entertained of the invalua ble assistance and compel he received on all occa sions from Sir Edmund Lyons. When at times affairs looked gloomy and success doubtful, he was at hand to cheer and encourage ; and every assist ance that could tend to advance the operations was given with the hearty good will which characterises the British sailor. Nothing hu contributed more to the present undertaking than the cordial cooperation which hu so happily existed from the first between the two services. I cannot sufficiently express my approbation of the conduct of the Royal Engineers under Lieu tenant-General Sir Harry Jones, who has conducted the siege operations from the beginning of this year. For some time pest he hu been suffering on a bed of sickness, bat the eventful hour of the assault would not permit him to remain absent ; he was con veyed on a litter into the trenches to witness the completion of his arduous undertakings. My warmest thanks are due to the officers and soldiers of the Royal Artillery under the command of Major-General Sir R. Decree, who, during the arduous operations of this protracted siege, have so mainly contributed to its ultimate success. I must beg further to record my thanks for the cordial cooperation and assistance I have received in carrying out the details of the service from the Chief of the Staff, the Adjutant and Quartermaster- Generals, and General Staff, as well as generals com manding divisions and brigades of this army. I must reserve to myself, for the subject of a future despatch, bringing before your lordship the particular mention of officers of the various branches of this army, whom I shall beg to recommend to your favourable not 4 ce. I entrust this despatch to the care of Brevet- Major the Honourable Leicester Curzon, who has been Assistant Military Secretary to my noble pre decessor and myself since the commencement of this war, and who will be able to give your Lordship more minute details than the limits of a despatch will allow.—l have &c., JAMES SIMPSON, General Commanding.

Shep herd, landlord of the Oaford Arras, Westminster-road, while out shooting, with his brother and Mr. Creewlek, the eo-leures of the Surrey Theatre, was so severely wounded in the meek by the accidental ezplosioa of one of the gins, that be died altooet immediately. The Barmy Theatre hu been closed till Monday, in easeeqessos of this siehasholy EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (mow ovi owx PARIS, FIUDAT Evanixo. For the last three days it has been mysteriously whispered among newsmongers that one of the Cent Gerdes had shot at the Emperor, but the rumour (wholly unfounded, as I bad better say at once) attracted no public attea. tion till to-day. This morning, however, nothing ales was talked of among the crowds that flock to the doors of the Bourse previous to the openiog. Many people affirmed positively that the Emperor was wounded, and, so general was the imprtation that there was some truth in the story, that a peak prevailed at the opening of businese, the Rents being quoted within the first few minutes at 65fr. 950., 45c. lower than the closing price of yesterday, At a quarter to 2 o'clock, M. Hubant, the commissary of the Bourse, girded with his official sash, went from group to group in the interior of the Bourse and es. eared the public that he was authorised to say that there was not one word of truth in the report wid t h had been circulated. There bad been to a certain extent a reaction before this declaration was made, and it had but little effect upon quotations, the ta being other causes of depression. The council of the Bank of France, which met yesterday, appose to have resolved while maintaining (for the irresistible reasons which I have already mentioned) its rate of dieconnt at 4 per cent.; to charge 5 per cent. intend for loans on deposits of shares, and to require a sup. plementary guarantee to the extent of 10 per cent. after two renewals of a loan upon any such security. This measure led to the apprehension that a good deal of stock would be thrown upon the market be fore the next settlement. The Credit Mobilier closed with the serious fall of 100 fr., after having been Mfr. still lower. It was positively stated that the Em. peror had definitively refused to permit the esta blishment of the proposed branch of this company,at Vienna. Railways all fell to-day; Northern, 20fr., and Orleans, 15fr. This evening's Pram says it is confirmed that the Russian army is retreating towards Perekop. I hole not on what authority this statement is made. All the published news is the other way, and the con& nued silence of the Moniteur on the subject makes it difficult to believe in the truth of the Vienna telegra. phic despatch. Stress however is laid upon a state. ment in the Gazette des Posies that Prints Gortchalcoff, the Russian Ambassador at Vim% is to be at Warsaw on the 18th to pay his res. pects to the Czar and to confer with de Nesselrode. It is inferred from this that the announced journey to the Crimea is given up. T Pattie professes to have received private intelligens from St. Petersburg to the effect that the Emperoref Russia's visit to the southern provinces of hie empire will not extend beyond New Russia. An Imperial decree opens to the Minister of the Interior an extraordinary credit of 2,807,9511 r. from the estimates of 1853, for the purpose of reimbursing the treasury and the city of Lyons for the advances made by them in 1848 for the national workihops.
