The BRITISH Passe commenced pub/tubing yesterday morning at flee o'clock. great deal of the circulating medium, in order to lock it up. This is, in fact, admitted by the Times Correspon dent to be the case at present. It follows most evidently that the circulating medium, according to his reckoning, actually includes a large portion of the hoarded capital of the cautery, which in other cases would have taken the • shape of commodities, or of other investments. The money now hoarded without interest or profit can never be brought into circulation without an immense in crease of trade—that is, unless trade take a real advance equal to the unsound rate of 1821-S—unless by displacing some money already at interest or profit by demanding an inferior interest or profit. The money still boarded, with out interest, must still remain in the same state, unless 1 trade increase. Now it is certain that trade is still at pre- ; sent depressed below its natural level, in consequence of the want of money and confidence among tradesmen — most of the trade necessarily carried on by bills being ; now curtailed. The boarded money is not in the hands of the tradesman, and cannot be procured by him, on interest, in consequence of this want of confidence. If the Bank, by extending its discount!' in the country, could resrore that part of the trade which was carried 'on by bills, it is clear that there would be an addi• tional vent for part of the boarded money, which would then become necessary for discharging the bills as they be came due. The trade formerly carried on by bills is now stopped, and the money necessary for carrying it on is con sequently unemployed. More business is done in England by bills than by circulating medium ; and any convulsion which prevents her traders from paving their bills has more effect in embarrassing trade than the circulating medium itself. • In such a case it is obvious that a demand will be . made fa a species of security more stable than that of private paper. The deficiency of private paper would alone call for an increase of circulation at the present mo ment. It is to supply the deficiency of bills, by facilitating discounts, that an increased circulation is wanted; it is to give tradesmen the security of the Bank of England, instead of that of private individuals. An increased issue by the Bank would only supply the want of private paper, and could not in any way come in competition with the public circulating medium. Let the Bank be bound, if necessary, to discount in twenty-pound notes, or in notes equal to the hill. It is obvious that net one additional note would in that case conic into circulation, for which there would not otherwise have been a bill in the market. Which medium for transacting business is preferable, we lecve to. DANIEL Ilannearoce to determine. Our limits prevent us from pursuing the subject further at present, but to-morrow we will resume it. CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. The veterans of the Money Market scarcely recollect so dull a day as this has been, in every respect. Consols, which opened at 80, 1 „ closed at 801; for the October Ac count, add for November at Sol. The evident expecta tion, therefore, is, that they will continue to advance up to the period of the meeting of Parliament, unless any un foreseen event should occur to 'knock them down. The easy rate, too, at which money may be bad on the credit of stock, will very much aid the carrying over, and will tend to assist the niarket in that respect. Exchequer Bills have advanced a shilling to-day, being 16s. 17s. ; and India Bonds find a ready market, at from 30s. to 3' s. premium. It is confidently asserted that Cape Coast Castle and its dependencies have been declared under martial law, and ' that every preparation was making for the reception of the Ashantees, whose force is almost double that of the British and their allies, but is said not to be so well supplied. The uext accounts will be anxiously looked for. In the Foreign Market Transatlantic Securities are all at a higher quotation than yesterday; but still, from the little baldness doing, these can scarcely be said to be more than nominal. It is certainly, to say the least of it, matter of great regret that the Colombian and Chilian Bondholder should be placed in the situation he is. These countries were a source of great wealth to the parent State when under the iron yoke of Spain, and, now that the oppresssion which ground ihem to the earth is removed, they cannot find the means of keeping their faith in paying the interest on the money borrowed for the purpose of aitaug them 41 obtaining their independence. There is something radi cally wrung in ail this; and the sooner the matter is set LONDON, WEDNESDAY, Oceoixa 4, 1826. right, the sooner will these countries be entitled to that re spect which all must wish to feel for "Sons of Liberty."

Not a tertian:4 can circulate that is unnecessary, and therefore nothing can be called circulating medium which is not actually of use in trade. Sums on hand, and all sums which represent past labour, and are not employed for the encouragement of labour at precut, can no more be consi dered as circulating nitdiutn than hind or houses, even though they may be laid out in a way to produce interest. These belong, therefore, to the listed of Hoarded! Money. There is a portion of the people who do not wish to risk money in trade, and this constitutes the demand for money to be boarded. As to exported money, it is unnecessary to Aire any description of it, as it is merely what is ex pressed in the name. The business transacted in foreign caintrics occasions a demand for this description of money. Thus there is a demand for mousy to circulate and export, which renders the circulating and exported money a fixed quantity, subject only to the variations ieciitteit to trade ; and there is a constant necessity for boarding money, as the representative of past la'iour, not being productive of per ruatient 'wick. The labour employed on gold remaina in the gold ; but the labour employed on corn, after its con sumption, must be represented in sonic other shape. Our principal business at present will be with hoarded looney, which has a constant tetillesicy to get into circula tont so as to obtain interest or profits. littered and profits tend to increase the quantity of money boarded ; and it wormy thus hoarded were to con' blue to find cmplo nt, so a. to produce inure interest and profits, it must "o on con tinually augmenting at compound interest, so I,IIICII only being deducted from this increase as is spent in nec e s sar i es or luxuries.

Last evening Sbakspeare'a tragedy of Romeo and was played at this theatre, for the purpose of' introducing to the public a Mr. &indwell, from the Dublin theatre, in the character of Ronieu, and Mr. Hoopoe in that of Mer. eufia. It' this tragedy he not one of the finest acting plays of' the immortal Bard, it at least abounds with the most beautiful imagery and pocic feeling throughout. It has been disputed from whence Shakspcare took his plot, whether from the Giat!vita of Lenge da Porta, from the novel by Massnico, or from Bandello's Tragical lliatorye Romeus and Juliet, as translated from the Italian by Arthur Brooke. It is, however, very possible that he con sulted them all; for it is quite clear that he was perfectly acquainted with Italian literature, whether in the original or' by translation is matter of little consequence, seeing that the" Poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling," always embodied in their fullest extent the habits, manners, and character of those whom his mighty genius raised to the pinnacle of never-dying fame. The story of which we are speaking was, however, popular in England, prior to the immortal stamp put upon it by the hand of Shakapeare, and was the subject of dramatic representation in the year 1362, several notices of it being to be found in works of that period. It was, however, left to Shakapeare to perpetuate the constancy of true love, as exemplified in the play before us, and to render the memory of it im perishable. It is, however, quite time to come to the Dramatis Persons of last evening, in doing which we beg leave, in the first place, to notice Mr. Ilooper's Mercurio, because from accidental circumstances we were unable to notice his performances on Saturday evening, when he first made his entree before a London audience. In person Mr. Hooper is very prepossessing, tall, with just a suffi cient portion of solidity to make a handsome bust—fine teeth, and a roguish sparkling eye. Ibis voice is somewhat thick, and occasionally, certainly, as contemporaneous criticism has said, is like that of Farley ; however, upon the whole, his tout ensemble is greatly in iris favour. The character of Mer.:etil is by no means of an easy cast, and, from the notice we had seen of this gentleman a exertions on Saturday, we confess we went with something like fear and trembling; the result, however, has proved that our apprehensions were unfounded, for Mr. Hooper certainly, went throu* the cliaracsee wi th considerable ability. 041 certainly is not a Lewis—indeed, where is there one ? lie may not be a Bannister, or an Ellistpn, or even come up to Lewis's distant shadow, Jones, in die part ; but he un doubtedly stands next to him in merit, and his conception of the part epproached the nearest to that of the very 1 clever performer just mentioned, but without being liable to the charge of servility. The delivery of Queen Malls nighdy travels was given with a very fair portion of whimsical recite/len ; while his badinage with the Nurse excited considerable applause, and his quarrel with Tubal, and death, were certainly not inferior to those of any Mer- calla of late date. We feel satisfied this gentleman will be a very considerable acquisition to this theatre; he posseeses, if not all, at least many of the requisites for lively comedy, and we feel assured that, as he becomes more known, his merit will be the more apparent. We understand he is but now recovering from severe indisposition ; there was, however, but little appearance of it this evening. Mr. Southwell must excuse us (for the reason we have stated) for not having taken him up pre-eminentlyon this occasion, which is certainly due to the character of Romeo. Of the person of this gentleman we cannot give a very favourable report: he is tall, but thin to a fault, and his face admits' of little expression, and is by no means of a manly cast. His voice is somewhat coarse, and certainly not well adapted for the harmonious measure of Romeo's love ; and there is a disagreeable whine and sort of hysterical catch in it, which occasionally had a very unpleasant tfllm ; at the same time his delineation of the character was highly im passioned—somewhat too boisterous in some parts, but cer tainly far above mediocrity. In point of originality, Mr. Southwetl's representation of the character perhaps does not lay claim to any considerable attention. Ile has evidently studied the manner of Kean, as well as Macready, and has compounded them with some dexterity. Upon the whole, however, for we cannot particularize, the performance was highly creditable to the talents of this gentleman, who, if not a great, is at least a good actor, when the physical dis advantages under which he labours are considered. Mrs. W. West's Juliet was a highly impassioned piece of act ing, a: times, perhaps, not sufficiently subdued, but still far above the grade of many Juliets we have seen with more pretension. Mr. Archer's T.eku/t, and Mr. Pope's Friar taierenee, were very respectable performances, par ticularly the latter, and the Benc.A. and Montague of Younge and Thompson, told very well in the little they had to do. We had almost forgot Mrs. Harlowe's Nurse; it would certainly have lost nothing by being somewhat more like Mrs. Davenport's. At the falling of the curtain the applause was considerable, and the announcement of a repetition of the tragedy on Tuesday next was very favour ably received. The house was respectably attended, but did not present any thing like an overflow till half price. The performances concluded with Arai Masan, which has lost none of its charms since last season. SAM Ele2 ii r rtt.s.—Oti Monday niAht this Theatre closed for the season, when the following Address was delivered by Mr. !Midi,' : " Ladies and Gentlenten,—l am desired by the proprietors to present their most grateful thanks for the success of a season more prosperous than any they have taperienced for many years.

The Swedish vessel Catherine Hanson, from Guernsey to Ant. warp, has been mixed at Flushing, in consequence of trading con trary to the Navigation lows of Gotland, which allow only goods the produce of Sweden to be imported into Holland by Swedish vessels. NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING. NEWMARKrT, MONDAY NIGHT. The Races to-day bare been remarkably good, but in two instances have terminated contrary to the general opinion, Rufus (who was first favourite for the Derby last year, and came in second), and Problem ( who was the favourite for the Oaks of last season, and also came in second), having been defeated, by which unexpected result some rather heavy sums have crept into pockets where they were least expected. Ills lirace the Duke of Portland, Lord Lowther, and about 20 other members of the Club, dined at the Rooms. Lord Anson had a dinner party of twelve. There is not any alteration in the odds on the Derby, Oaks, and St. Leger. The following is a full account of the running : The Trial Stakes. D.M. Betting-7 to 4 agat Ruins ;7to 2 agst Spinning Jenny ; and 10 to I aigst Orion. This being the trial race for tile week, and one that affords a criterion whereby to judge of horses in the same stables as 'hose entered to run for it, it created a lively interest. W ben they were got together, the word was given, and Spinnittg, Jenny spun away with good effect, taking the le:td with a rattler, Orion being close at her quarters, and the miler% as near at hand as possible. The great Rufus ( who, to use a cant phrase, was the "great pot. " or the race), the first favourite—with only 7 in 4 and a field of six horses against him—was in the crowd, from which all the rkill and exerlon of the veteran Buckle was ineffectual to distinguish him. Jenny's In dustry enabled her to preserve her front to the cord., when Orion challenged and got a dubious lead of about half a length ; the race then became highly interesting , its beauty being equalled only by Its uncertainty; finally, when within a few throws of Immo, nny's superior sifter', aided by the excellent. jockeyship of John Day, won a slashing race by s neck only.

The occasion of this de falcation in the sport (which is generally comparatively short in the first October Meeting) may be traced to the absence of a considerable nutniwr of the best horses, who have been at the different country meetings. Many are al-living, and to arrive from Doncaster and other places, to be ready for the second October Meeting, for which the entries are 11UMCTOUP.

It is most gratifying to be able to state that a gradual but sensible improvement is beginning to take place in the con dition of the numerous poor of this city and its vicinity. The bounty of Providence has been signally conspicuous in the timely change which has tairen place in the season—a change which has not only averred the most dreadful of all calamities, a famine ; but has reduced the price of pro visions to an extent which has rendered it comparatively easy for the poor to supply their welds. About two months ago, the lowest price of potatoes, which are the elti.f aerl favourite subsistence of the fewer orders in this country, was Is. per stone, a price ethic!) it will be perceived ren dered it impossible et en for throe who were in full employment to support their families, whets it is con sidered that the wages of a labouring man, through all the rural parts of the South of Ireland, does not exceed eightpence per day (without food); and the wages in cities fluctuate s from 10d. to Is. 2,1. which might be set down as the maximum. At the period 'referred to, it was there fore a literal fact that the whole labouring population of the South of Ireland wanted food, and it is little wonder that despair possessed the mindsof all classes. As I before observed, however, Nature has effected more, notch more, than the most sanguine could have expected. The present appearance oft he country generally, and especially of the late potato crop, affords a most cheering prospect to the agri culturists. In this market potatoes have fallen front Is. to ed. reed 6 1 , 1. per stone. Butcher's meat is sold at from eel. to MI. per lh ; oatmeal from 2e. to 2s. 2.1. per stone ; and all other provisions in proportion. Notwithstanding the absence of employment, it is evident that such a consi derable reduction in the pi ices of articles of prime neets sity must afford the most important relief to the distressed population. Numberless poor families who were found to content themselves with one meal in the twenty-four hours, are now enabled to procure two; and those who arc utterly destitute, and dependent upon private or public cha rity, are benefitted in proportion to the increased quantity of provisions, which the contriontions of benevolence will purchase. But although the most considerable improve. went is derived from the reduction in the price of provi sions, something lets also been effected by giving partial employment to a part of the labouring population. 't he distilleries, of which there are several in this cite, had ceased working during the summer months, chiefly from the deficiency of water occasioned by the extreme drought, but have lately recommenced business, and employ a gnat malty hands. The season for curing and snaking up provi• sions, which forms one of the most important branches of the trade of this city, will also shortly commence, and cr.- gage a number of persons teho are now unemployed. lit addition to these sources of employment, some small public works have been commenced : amongst others, a local cor poration, called the " Wide Street Commissioners," love undertaken to flag the footways in all the streets welch were hitherto paved,—an improvement which no one eee has ever visited this part of the country will fail to spec, elate, as the filthy state of the footways in wet weldor was a serious nuisance, and had helped to acqul re S r Cork the character of lone; the dirtiest city in the (lashed Kingdom. An increased ninnber of hands have also been taken on to complete the public quays, which promise to he most extensive reel magnificent. 'there is no doubt that those public exertions would be seconded by peivatestwenlatious, and that many wealthy persons would be disposed so invest capital in building, but that they are deterred by the absurd and improper combinations in which the tradesmen of this city have joined. As I before stated, the highest wages given to a labourer is Is. Std• per day ; hut tradesmen of all kinds have come to a resolution of not working under any circumstances for less than 4s. ld. British per day. This rate is certainly high, considering the ordinary price of all the necessaries of life iu this pert of. Ireland ; hesidss which, it must be admitted that in every trade there are some workmen whose services are more valuable than those of others in ehe same trade, and it seems unjust to the more expert workman, as well as injurious to the public, that the employer should be called upon to pay a fixed rate of wires, without any consi deration as to the capability o f the workmate list this resolution is by no moo's the most objectiouaLle to which any person who commences building in ties part of the country is exposed. If a master th:nks proper to discharge his workmen upon the pound of real or imputeel neglect or misconduct. should the offence net . he of of those which a self-constituted tribunal, carer "the body," takes cognizance of, the employer will tied it difficult. if not impossible, to procure a substitute for the man he had discharged ; and if his conduct happens to give offence to his workmen generally, they never hesitate to ntatolt off en flimsy , ', and leave him to complete his work himself. Occurrences of this kind have rendered it hazard ous in the extteme to contract for any building in C o rk, and the consequence is, as might naturally be expected , that the trade is in the most depressed state. It unfortu nately happens, too, that in this Instance, as in many others, the innocent are stifferevs as well as those who are repre hensible, and hundreds *of labourers, who were occupied in attendance moon masons, bricklayers, and other work men, are now idle, and, with their wretched families , sal tering under every species of distress.
