The object of this Company is to establish a line of Ex press Passenger Steam Boats between Gravesend, London Bridge, and Chelsea, and calling at a few intermediate piers. The yearly i ncrease of the passenger traffic onthe and the inability o f t h e present steamers to accommodate Thames the' public, proves that an enlarged system of steam boats is much required. Most of the steamers of this Company will have saloons on deck, handsomely fitted out, with sliding windows from which either sid e o f the river can be viewed on the pa:ssilge. Shelter is thus p rov i ded from hea and inclement weather, whilst the top affords a spacious Arrangements have been made promenade.f rtl f the piers also o le Use 0 for steamers t o run between London Bridge and Chelse , a (on sufficient capital being subscribed), to take advantage of the raffic to the Exhibition, and other places of attraction up the river. Such is the confidence in the undertaking that euarantees have been placed in the hands of the Directors, for a minimum dividend of 6 per cent. per annum on the amount of capital paid up for the first two years. Complete prospectuses and forms of applications for shares may be had at the Offices of the Company, Bankers, Solicitors, and En.' neer. . N°. 21,864.

THE COMITIME.RCIAL BANK OF LONDON. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. CAPTAIN SHERRARD OSBORNE. Sir J. HAY asked for information relative to the terms of the agreement by which Captain Sherrard Osborne, of the Royal Navy, was employed in the service of the Chinese Government. He took occasion to advert to the different cases of complaint which had been made in the course of the session as to the treatment of the Royal Navy by the Government. The annexed circular has been issued regarding the liquidation of the Commercial Bank of London. It shows that the shareholders are likely to receive back the whole of the capital, and thus tends to confirm the impression that at the time of the dis covery of the fraud at their west end branch the resolution to break up the establishment was too precipitately adopted : " Commercial Bank of Lonnon, Lothbury, July 22.

Hurst and Blackett, 13, Great Marlborough-street. _ • " The directors, being desirous of explaining to the shareholders the present position of the bank's affairs, have deemed it better to do so by means of a circular which will be received by each individual proprietor, than by calling a meeting at which a portion only of the shareholders can be present, and they trust that this course will prove gene rally acceptable. " It will be recollected that, in order to enable the direc tors to return one-half of the capital (£lO per share), it was determined to borrow the sum of £150,000 of the London and Westminster Bank. The whole of the amount ad vanced has been repaid, together with interest at the rate of 5 per cent, per annum. " The gradual realisation of the various securities and the sale of the banking;premises have enabled the directors to discharge this loan as well as the whole of the ordinary banking liabilities, with the exception of a few balances that have not yet been withdrawn. " All the securities of the bank being now in the posses sion of the directors, they are proceeding to convert them into money as speedily as possible, but, as the greatest por tion of these assets consists of claims secured by mortgages on land and houses, their advantageous realisation will re quire time and careful management. " The directors have taken the best professional advice as to the value of these properties, which confirms them in the hope they have before expressed that the judicious realisa tion thereof will enable them to return to the shareholders the whole of their remaining capital. One great object of the directors has been, as far as possible, to avoid litiga tion and consequent expenditure; and they are happy to say that hitherto their efforts have been attended with success. " The directors rely on a continuance of that confidence on the part of the shareholders which has supported and strengthened them in the discharge of the arduous and anxious duties that have devolved upon them, and they beg to assure the shareholders that no exertions shall be wanting on their part to bring the affairs of the bank to the earliest termination csnsistent with the true interests of the proprietors.—l am, your obedient servant, " A.

The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular.

AN IMP ORT ANT DISCUSSION.—The "'Times," the " Lancet," and other leading journals have been lately canvassing the social considerations in volved in " the amount of death and disease caused by vice." Some interesting statistics are brought to bear upon the inquiry: but it would greatly add to their value if they in cluded the facts respecting the origin, the ravages, and the pre:, ention of that SPECIAL VICE, which wars more than any ether against the welfare of society—destroying the happi ness and disappointing the objects of matrimony, under mining the constitutions, blasting the prospects, e m bitt er i ng and shortening the lives of its victims, and spreading desola tion through families. The essential particulars relating, to this great social evil (the besetting snare of inexperienced youth and the curse of maturity), together with ample instructions for removing its zffects, and recovering health, vigour, and all the ennobling privileges of our being, are contained in Dr. LA'MERT'S SELF-PRESE EIVATION, the 90th Edition has just been " a Treatise on Nervous and Physical Debility, of whi c h published by Mann an d C o., 39, Cornhill, London, price Is., sent post free for 13, or in a sealed envelope for 20 stamps' Dr. LA'MERT, M.D., &c., having for 20 years devoted himself entirely to this branch of practice, may be consulted daily, either personally or by correspondence, at his residence, No 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, London. BILL. Earl DE GREY, in moving the second reading of this bill, said he did not intend to enter on that occasion into any recapitulation of the arguments in favour of the neces sity of adequately protecting oar principal naval forts and arsenals. In 1860, a plan was submitted to Parlia ment, and having received its approval, a sum of money was voted to carry out the provisions of the bill embodying those plans. He did not think it necessary to detain the house by showing that it was not desirable to stop their mad career, or either that the plan approved of in 1860 was inadequate or unsuited to the present time, or that the danger that was then apprehended had altogether passed away. 'The sum that had already been voted, viz., two millions, in order to carry out the plan, had very nearly been expended, and it became necessary at once to apply to Parliament for a further amount. The works proposed at Portsmouth, some of which were rapidly approaching completion, had all been commenced. The works at Spithead had been temporarily suspended. The forts in the Isle of Wight had been com menced, and the land purchased for others in that direc tion and at Plymouth, the sea, and what was called the western defences had been commenced, while those works at Pembroke were also proceeding satisfactorily. The works on the rivers Thames and Medway were being pushed forward as rapidly as possible, and in his opinion the works looked upon as a whole were going on in a manner that merited the highest approval. The sum proposed to be voted by the present bill amounted to £1,500,000. He was perfectly ready to reply to any arguments which might arise; but not anticipating any such opposition to the measure, he would conclude by moving the second reading of the bill. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH, contrasting the means of defence possessed by this country and by France, con tended that the latter power was in a far better position than we were. He did not object to the bill on the table, but he complained that when a scheme of fortifications had been decided on, it ought to have been adhered to in its integrity, instead of being subdivided, and extended over a series of years. France had an army of 400,000 men, with a Na tional Guard of 265,000 ; and she could in three weeks orga nise a force of 200,000 for the invasion of England, if so minded. The only force which we had to meet her was 43,000 regular troops and 200,000 irregulars, who could not be expected to stand their ground against a well-trained and highly-disciplined host. Our position with reference to iron-cased ships also was unsatisfactory; and he argued that it was the duty of the Government to see that instead of being inferior in that arm of defence, we should be supe rior, not:only to France, but to all the maritime powers put together. _ _ The Duke of SOMERSET defended the proposal of the Government, denied that the country was insufficiently protected, and stated that the Admiralty were devoting their whole energies to the construction of iron-plated ships. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE, speaking on behalf of the War Department, said that there had been a large increase in the military expenditure of late years, and that it had been called for by the country itself for improvements in commissariat and sanitary arrangements. These, no doubt, could be reduced at any time, but not without detriment to the public service. His object had been so to arrange that the troops should spend twothirds of their time abroad, and one•tbird at home; but he regretted to say that the force in this country was so small that he had been unable to carry out the intention. The Earl of MALMESBURY expressed his general approval of the bill, to which Earl GREY stated several objections. Earl RUSSELL combated the argument that we were bound to maintain a large army to resist invasion ; and in re ference to the policy of France expressed his confidence in the friendly disposition of the Government of the Emperor. The bill was then read a second time. Other measures were also advanced a stage; and Their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—YESTERDAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BILLS. The Lords' amendments to the following bills were agreed to, and the bills were ordered for third reading :—Cannock Chase Railway Eytension.—Eastern Union Railway— Great Western, Hereford, Ross, and Gloucester and Ely Valley Railways—Kent Coast Railway—Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway—Spalding and Bourn Railway—Totten haul and Hampstead Junction Railway. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Great Northern and Western (of Ireland) Railway—Sid mouth Railway and Harbour—and Tufnell's Estate, NEW WRIT. On the motion of Mr. WHITEHEAD, a new writ was ordered to issue for the election of a member for the county of Carlow, in the room of Captain Bunbury, who has accepted the Cheltern. Hundreds. PIRACY IN THE EASTERN ARCHIPELAGO. In reply to Mr. CRAWFORD, Mr. LAYARD said that the attention of her Majesty's Government had been directed to this subject, but without any successful result up to the present time. The Govern ment of the Netherlands had expressed their willingness to act in concert with England ; and Spain and the other powers, it was expected, would accede to a similar arrange ment. THE 140 POUND ARMSTRONG SHUNT GUN. In reply to Mr. OSBORNE, Sir G. LEWIS said the gun in question had been loaded with 251bs. of powder, and had split. He did not think that the appointment of any additional committee in addi tion to what had been sitting on the subject of the ordnance could be desirable, but he thought that the committee should be reappointed next session. Mr. OSBORNE said his object was for a committee to inquire into the bursting of the gun. Sir G. LEWIS said that the committee in q uestion would consider that subject. INDIAN PRIZE MONEY. In reply to Sir M. FARQUHAR, Mr. BARING said that the distribution of this prize money had commenced in India last December, and would be continued from September next. ALLEGED CONCERT BETWEEN THE FRENCH AND ITALIAN GOVERNMENTS IN RESPECT TO MEXICO. In reply to Mr. GRIFFITIE, Mr. LAYARD said that her Majesty's Government had received no information as to there having been any concert between the two Governments alluded to by whi c h th e I ta li an Government was to send troops to support the French in Mexico in exchange for the retirement of the French troops from the provinces of Viterbo and Villetri, or that any such scheme was abandoned in consequence of its unpopularity in Italy. He could give no information whatever on the subject. WITHDRAWAL OF THE BATTA TO TIIE AD_ MURAL ON THE EAST INDIA AND CHINA STATION. Sir J. ELPHINSTONE drew the attention of the house to this question, and coimplained that the officer in question Lord C. PAGET said with regard to the latter subject that Captain Sherrard Osborne had obtained leave to enter the service of the Chinese Government for the purpose of putting down pirates in the Chinese seas, but there was no agreement on the part of this Government that he should receive an indemnity of £3,500 from the Chinese Government. With respect to the observations of the hon. baronet (Sir J. Elphinstone) he could only sl ate that all officers accepting the situation in question did so with the understanding that they were to give up their pay from this country. DEFENCES OF CANADA. Mr. ADDERLEY drew the attention of the house to this subject, and asked the Government for information as to whether any arrangement had been come to between this country and Canada as to the relative force that should be supplied for the defence of that colony. He cited the authority of different colonial secretaries to show that Canada, from its wealth, was in a position to defend itself from invasion. He referred to this country sending out troops to defend the colony at the time of an expected rupture between this country and America, and he complained that the Canadians had shown great apathy in providing for their defence: Mr. A. MILLS was of opinion that the recent conduct of the Canadian Parliament with respect to the Militia Act H re e co apdarianlispmeeonptle to, by, it was impossible f or-an y Government to recal the troops d n e s pi reconsider their ways, but thought that , until the present peril passed e m a 'a ted s notan any attempt o t f e by fer t e h e e t c haen that were now in the colony. The expense which had bccu incurred for the defence of British America was, however, enormous, amounting during the year to upwards of a million and a half sterling. He was opposed to the monstrous system of nursing the colony and encouraging it to rely upon the arm of the mother country, which, in the hour of need, must be inadequate for its defense unless it were backed by a strong local force. General EVANS did not believe that there was any danger to Canada at the present moment, nor that there was likely to be any during the next three or four years, and that therefore no obstacle existed to the recal of the troops if the Government thought fit to take such a step, Mr. ROEBUCK said that the first question to be con sidered was, what were the feelings of the people of Canada towards England. They had been led to believe that we regarded them of such wonderful importance that we were prepared at any expense to maintain our dominion over them; what he wanted them to understand was, that we did not care a farthing about their adherence to us. We derived no advantage from the connection, and if we assisted in maintaining their independence it was for their benefit and not our own. Sir G. C. LEWIS thought that, looking to the position of the contest between the Northern and Southern states of America, and to the manner hi which the affair of the Trent was treated by the United States Government, there was no immediate probability of a rupture of the pacific relations existing between us and them. An invasion of Canada meant war wirh England, and in that event the United States must look forward to interference with the blockade of the Southern ports by a British fleet. Giving them, therefore, credit for the most ordinary prudence, no thing at present seemed more unlikely than that the United originate a war with nhlge Canadians had not y thening their militia, made States cotu nh G e o t v er y e ff r m o. r t sHethey d h om o u ul igt d thedt v f o o l tr un hsat t tr ar l et still he did not think that that was any ground for sending out more reinforcements. When sufficient time had been given to the Canadian Legislature to reflect on their policy, and supposing them not prepared to retrace their steps, then would be time enough to throw the entire defence of the colony upon the colonists themselves. With regard to our future relations with Canada, he looked foward without apprehension or regret to the period when she might be come an independent state ; but it behoved England not to cast her loose or send her adrift before she had acquired sufficient strength to assert her own independence; and we ought not, under a feeling of temporary irritation, to throw her into the arms of the United States, and place her in the position of becoming annexed to a power that was involved in a serious contest, and had recently added millions upon millions to its national debt. He did not himself believe that the late vote of the Canadian Legislature on the sub, ject of the militia was the result of any deep-seated design, but rather an accident which arose out of the conflict of parties. Mr. T. DARING, being Iu oluse ouniumnieatlon with Canada, had good reason to know that an impression pre vailed there that a desire existed on the part of this coun try and a majority of the House of Commons to force a se paration ; and if anything would strengthen that feeling it was such speeches as had been delivered that evening by Mr. Roebuck and Mr.Adderley. This impression on the part of the Canadians had arisen from the coldness with which Canada was treated in the early discussions of this session, and it had been increased by the language of the public press and speeches hero and in the Rouse of Lords. Ac cording to Mr. Roebuck, our proper course was to leave the Canadians to defend themselves; but as long as they wished to continue British subjects the obligation rested upon us to maintain the union intact. After some remarks from Sir M. FA.RQUHAR and Lord BURY, Mr. DISRAELI would be sorry to anticipate the arrival of the time when the connection between Canada and this country should terminate. There was no doubt, however, that the relations between the self-governing colonies and the mother country were becoming daily less satisfactory, but ho did not see how we could summarily and hastily adopt any remedy for evils which were in a great degree the result of our own eagerness in conceding, after obsti nately resisting, their independence. We must rather trust to the spirit and sense of the inhabitants, and in a large measure to the character, talents, and resources of the go vernors whom we sent out to them. In this particular case the fault of the Government was that they had not been thoughtful on the subject of training Canada to indepen dence. On the contrary, they had not trusted sufficiently to the resources and energies of the colonists, but had rather unnecessarily anticipated those duties which the Canadians themselves would have been ready to perform. Their inter ference in June last year,when they sent 3,000 men to Ca nada, was an intimation to the Canadians that we were ready to undertake a monopoly of their defence, It damped their ardour, and led to the unfortunate state of circum• stances that now prevailed. He regarded our colonial empire as one conducive to our strength. He could not measure its advantages by the commercial profits, or even the military force which in an emergency we might derive from such a connection ; but the very fact that we belonged to a vast empire which was founded on those principles of freedom and equality which were necessary to the prosperity of such an empire was itself a source of strength to this country, in the elevation which it gave to the character of our country men and the influence it exercised on the councils of Europe and the course of human events. He did not despair that our present relations with Canada might be modified and improved, and affairs there assume a more satisfactory aspect. Lord PALMERSTON agreed with Mr. Disraeli in the importance he attached to our colonial empire, and observed that it was little to the credit of the Canadian Parliament that they had allowed party feelings to induce them to refuse the necessary provision for their defence. But he could not ascribe that result to the sending 0ut3,000 troops in the summer of 1861. Nor could he agree that that measure was an indication on the part of the mother country that she meant to undertake the monopoly of their defence. The fact was that the garrisons of the North American colonies had been reduced by the demands for the Crimean war, and looking to the circumstances that were then taking place in America, he considered it a wise precaution on the' part of the Government to despatch some reinforcements to these garrisons, even though no apprehension of danger was en tertained. So far from that force being calculated to cripple the energies of the colonies, he thought it was rather adapted to stimulate them to exertion for their own defence. It was not the intention of the Government either to recall the troops now in Canada, or to make any addition to them. In answer to General LINDSAY, Sir G. C. LEWIS stated that he should investigate the question of Captain Grant's services in the improvement of cooking in the army, with a view to ascertain whether that gentleman was really entitled to compensation. The Militia Pay Bill, the Corrupt Practices Prevention Act Continuance Bill, the Court of Common Pleas (Officer fur Acknowledgment),f Deeds) Bill, th e Q ueen ' s P r ison Di sco ntinuance (1862 Bill, and the Elections during Re cess Bill were read a third time and passed, The Consolidated Fund (Appropriation) Bill passed through committee. The Burial Boards (Mortgage of Rates) Bill, the Gardens in 'Towns Protection Bill, and the Council of Medical Edu cation Bill were severally read a second time. The house Nvis counted out at, 25 minutes to 10 o'clock. STRA/s GE MURDER BY A LUNATIC.—A shocking murder was committed three days since at Cosne (Nievre), by a lunatic named Chenu, who entered the house of a woman named Charbius in her absence, and cut off the head of a ch ild two months old, which la y in a cradle. Ile afterwards attempted to kill himself; but was pre vented by the entrance of some neighbours. When asked his motive for commiting such a crime, he replied that the child was crying and that it was necessary to make an example of it. Miles Opened. Receipts.

The p rinci p al officers of custom are of o • that the system of col lectin g statistical inf ormation has opinion lon improved by the operat i o n of th o s e charges, but th mer cantile witnesses are of exactly the contra;e h l opinion, ca r a g n e d s th e testimony of the latter unanimously declares the to operate in an obstructive, vexatious, and expensive way theupon trade and commerce. The Chancellor of Exche quer, it appears, distinctly told the committee that the principle of the tax on imports may be regarded as aban doned. It yields about 1.38 oo per annum, and the tax on exports about L4-3,oo—in s • g • lit think, considering the oy £43,oo—insi gnificant sums, the committee ce they cause. The committee are, therefore, of opinion that these small charges o n commerce are unwise and inexpedient, and reconunand their abolition," A delay ensued at the start, owing to the anxiety of some of the jockeys to get away on good terms, with the excep tion of Tisiphone and Reindeer, who, after being left at the post, followed the rest, after an interval of many lengths. The front ranks comprised Redpole, Baron Munchausen, Humphrey, and Birdhill, Hetty leading the next lot, Humphrey and Hetty singled themselves half way up the distance, Mr. Lambert's horse leading the way.

THE SCARCITY OF Cots. The scarcity of change, or rather the hoarding of small silver, has brought upon us a famine, for the relief of which every shopkeeper in the city has his little remedy, suggests his humble plan, and offers his worthless plaster. It is time that some authority should take hold of what promises to be a pernicious system, stop it, and put in operation something that will counteract miserism on the part of the hoarders. and bring actual relief to the entire community, Which now suffers for the need of small change. Yesterday silver was at a premium of 12 per cent,—that is, 1 dol. in silver was worth 1 dol. 12c. in bills. Naturally everyone who has sil ver in his hands is desirous of keeping it, while those who have it not are desirous of getting it. To small dealers the greatest possible inconvenience is occasioned by this lack of fractional media, and, to obviate the trouble thrust upon them, they are beginning, in numbers, by no means in considerable, to offer to their customers individual I 0 U's, or what are more popularly known as shinplasters. Their reason for this course seems valid—they must do it or lose their profit ; but that in no way helps the matter, so far as the cautious public are concerned, for they wish to be assured of the worth of these due bills, a feature most hard to establish. In the meantime the difficulties stare us in the face. Suppose, for instance, that four moderately hungry individuals go into Delmonico's and eat each 25c. worth of roast beef, bread, and butter. They hand to the cashier each a dollar bill, and he returns them each 75c. in silver. How does the transaction stand ? The cashier gives them 3 dols. in change, which, at yester day's rates, are worth 3 dols. 3Ge. He has given them also dinners worth 1 del., making, in return for their 4 dols. 4 dols. 36e., thus giving them in provisions 1 dol., in change 3Gc.—total, idol. 36,i—for what is worth 1 dol. ; BO that, instead of retaining 1 del., he has but 640. Of course the establishment is unwilling to submit to such rates, and at once casts around for a remedy, and naturally takes hold upon the shinplaster system. Already a num ber of the best restaurants in the city have commenced the issue of these bills, and equity demands that if one may tin so all may. Om , nn circular in which he proposes to grant to all specie-paying customers a discount of G per cent. from the face of his cheque, while ,those paying, in bills he will charge a pre mium of 10 per cont. This irregular way of doing buiness b ree ds trouble, discontent , and d is t r ust, and it is an impe rative need that something b e d one at once. It has sugges ted that the City Government come to ou r been r issuing 1,00 0 , 000 dols. in f r actional parts of a dollar. This h bv i - s w ould, we are told, at once set afloat a currency of recog nized validity, which would crowd out allindividual specu lation and all private assumption. The peopl e w ou ld h ave confidence the trustworthines s of the Paper, the need for silver would pass away, and the and hug their shining pieces with misers might hug an noying or disburbi ng the out in any way community, This for what it is worth. The Fulton Ferry C every man desiri ng to cross must has determined that change or take it ou t in tickets must provide himself withd with huge roll s o f ; stage drivers are prov ide . maidens or Pennies which they hand to timid astonished men 7 filling pockets with unaccus tomed copper, and intimating that they must have the necessary si x p ence or t a k e t h e trou bl es ome nicke l ; shop keepers decline selling goods valued at 3 s. or 4s. unless the currency is forth com i ng, and absolutely take back the stock rather than make the change. The batiks decline taking hold of the matter—it is too small game for them ; and the only way uy which we may be saved f is for the promissory an d liarry, a recognised pasteboard of Tom, Dick, authority like the City o r State Government to issue bile confflence and secure such paper as will command public STATE OF TRADE. universal currency. SILVER CIIANGE. We may as well make up our minds at once that silver change, from bad financial management in Washington, is g one till the w ar is over, and act accordingly. Our silver ters and halves, in 1853, were purposely ma de in li g ht quarht ig to stop export ; but the weight is not light enoug h we who , t h e premium on silver is 1-10, and hence silver n ow g o, as gold goes, to nations that appreciate it, by re deeming their paper in gold and siver, and doing as we do, redeem one species of State Bank paper in another species of Federal Bank paper—thus doubly inflating paper by m aking it two removes from gold and silver. The weight of tiro Aflieriogt silver dollar is 4121 grctiAs etarglarcl / 7 z ,t9/ 7AP - r —e___,-- - I_ , JNEWSPA PE 11 • ( ;,..,/ , . • .. - .. , :i4,;t1 nine-tenths fine ; and the smaller pieces in *Ow T. ,:ri v ious to February, 1853, were of the same Ali•We l . .e. a nd fineness. Owing to th e r apid produc ei itielE ' 1 -: - i'. silver increased in value, and in 1353 thew gig l e - ,1 dollar and smaller coins was reduced to fra Itier :: , Le,' grains to the dollar, the silver to be of the same fibineel the old coin. It is now proposed that eighths an d 16ths o a dollar shall be coined at the rate of 320 grains to the dole. \ lar, which would be a further reduction of about 17 Per cent, and so forbid export,—.the only way to prevent it, as the export duty on gold and silver, that some propose, is utterly unconstitutional, and cannot be done by the Federal Powers, unless, as in other cases, because of the war, they leap right over the bars of the constitution and the laws. Meanwhile all classes of people here are racking their in ventions to produce " change," The cents—copper, big and little, nickel and all —are now kept done up in 25c. and 50c. packages, and handed out for " change ;" but even they are above paper, and, if they go higher, will be hoarded. and sold, as silver is now. The Restaurant s already are , issuing shinplasters. The Delmonicos issue "plasters" of 50 ce and redeem two of them in a dollar bill, when offered a t any of their eating-houses. It is said that the New England banks are preparing to issue bills for 50c. and 25c. It would b e we ll if we cou ld h ave som e a s good a fount of issue in this State as these New England banks. THE RISE IN GOLD, &C. The currency and small change difficulties are working great injury to the retail trade of the city, and giving in sufferable annoyance to all parties, whether buyer or seller. Gold, silver, and nickel have all become so highly appre ciated that in purchasing a cheap dinner or a cigar after it, a pound of sugar, a yard of cotton cloth, or such like articles, the discount on a dollar bill, or a five-dollar bill, is often greater than the value of the article purchased, and hence the seller, in furnishing geld, silver, or nickel change, actually loses more than the value of the goods sold. Tho various expedients adopted to obviate the difficulty give almost as great annoyance as the original trouble itself. The private shinplaster system is the worst. A person may come down town in the morning with five dollars in bills in his pocket, and after making half a dozen trifling purchases; may find himself with four dollars of shinplasters, which are worthless except at the places where they were issued, which he may not want to visit again in a month. Postage s tamps for change a re also a great annoyance, particularly. in these dog•days, as they stick to the fingers, to the port monnaie, and to everything, and quickly get torn, dirty, wasted, uneurrent, and worthless. It has been proposed that the city authorities issue paper change of the denomi nations of 10c., 25c., and 50c., which might be made uni versally current—in other words, a sort of legal tender. It is said that the New England banks a=c preparing to issue bills for 25c. and .50c.; but. they could not supply us with this currency, even if we wanted it. Probably the best mode of relieving the difficulty at present is that adopted in some establishments on Broadway—namely, for the storekeeper to charge the current premium for specie when it is paid out, and allow the premium when specie is received. This mode also has its troubles, and in the daily fluctuations in the price of gold, silver, and nickel, would necessitate a good deal of sharp calculation. But, in lieu of something better, it is the most equitable and convenient way of relieving what, after all, is only a temporary annoyance. (From the World.) Yesterday the excitement in Wall-street, owing to the sudden and extraordinary advance in the price of gold and foreign exchange, seemed for a time to bewilder every body. The price of gold opened at the morning Board at 113 j, and rapidly advanced to 1152, but in the open. markets sales were made at 1161 and 117, and many holders declined to sell at any price. At the after noon Board sales were m ade at 1.161 to 116 f, and in tll7 he open market the closing p rice of the day was firm, and with a tendency to advance. Foreign exchange sympathised with gold. Sterli n g 60 days bills were quoted at 1252 to 131, and sales were made at 129. These facts are significant of financial troubles. They are the result of ex cessive issues of paper money; they are the result of nothing else. The attempt to seek their cause in the retreat of M'Clellan is simply ridiculous. If military or political dis asters cause gold to advance, why did gold not advance last year when Washington and the Federal Government were ces alike defenceless and th re atened by the rebe ls? Why did Ex cessive paper notad is y su an es are th advance e a peremium simple after Bull cause of gol d Run? Ex being to-day at 17 per cent. premium, or, in other w ords, for the value of th e l ega l t en d er dollar note being 83 c . Go vernment Sixes, quoted at 102, are in reality sellin g at 85 for those which our banks bought at about 90. These are the results of using as money about 80,000,000 dols. of the 100,000,000 dols. already engraved by Government. We have no word of fault to find. We simply ask what Mr. Chase expects to be our financial condition as a com mercial nation, when 300,000,000 dots. are issued, or over three times the amount which has raised gold to 17 per cent. premium. The figures are startling enough to make the most infatuated believer in paper money pause and reflect. We suggest to Mr. Chase an immediate return to those sound principles of finance, on a specie basis, which all past experience has demonstrated to be the easiest in practice and the most profitable in its results. We suggest that no more legal tender notes be issued until the bank-note circulation is reduced. We suggest that all contractors' and other claims be 'paid in certificates of in debtedness. We suggest that the secretary use the 60,000,000 of Treasury notes bearing 3.65 per coat. per annum interest, of the denominations of 10 dols. and 20 dols., which:were authorised Iby the law of July, 1861. We suggest that Mr. Cisco and other Assistant-Trea surers in the large cities, be authorised to receive cash on deposit at 5 per cent., instead of being limited to 4 per cent, at a time when the market rate for money is higher. We suggest that Mr. Cisco be authorised to sell to appli -1 cants the securities of the United States authorised by Acts of Congress, at rates fixed and published from day to day, a nd governed somewhat by the New York market quota tions, providing these are not in conflict with the laws of Congress. If these measures fail to provide funds enough to carry on the Government expenditure, then resort to the last desperate use of paper as money. Let the public know, twice in each month, the position of the Treasury Depart ment, namely, the amount ix circulation, their denomina tion, the audited claims to date, paid and unpaid, and the mode in which they were settled. The public mind is un settled by the Government financial system, and they have no heart or confidence to proceed vigorously with their legitimate business to make money and hel p to pay the heavy taxes. A return to correct principles in finance would tend to restore mercantile confidence, ,as nothing else will. MANCHESTER, July 25.—The market is very firm for yarns, which are remarkably scarce, of all kinds, but there is no business doing. There has been a good deal of inquiry, but it has not led to operations, and the market closes quiet. This is probably, to some extent, the result of the inactivity in the Liverpool cotton-market. The sales during the week at Liverpool have been exceedingly small, out of a total of 21,380 bales, only 3,000 to 4,000 being t a ken by manufacturers for consumption ; whil e S ura ts have gone down Id. per lb ; Egyptian and Brazil, id. to 4-,d. ; and American (practically), 4id • per lb. We have had no business in c l o th . I f there is any change it is in rather mor e dispositi on t o b uy , and there have been more offers, but the prices buyers are willing to give are somewhat below what have been current, and have not been acceptable to manufacturers, most of whom are rather dis posed to more firmness, believing that the great decrease which has now will, before long,taken place in produc tion,, appear to be tell upon prices. Buy ers gaining confidence, n pro bably 'we shall h ave more activity and ext week. Notwithstanding the decline in cotton this week, ' ,o . l l , Schc,ture - still relatively .r. enmplam that it Is ' much higher than any prices they can obtain for their cloth.

The traffic receipts of railways in the United Kingdom amounted for the week ending July 19, on 10,304 miles, to £607,555, and for the corresponding week of last year, on 9,961 miles, to £582,335, showing an increase of 343 miles, and of £25,220 in the receipts. The gross receipts on the following 14 railways amounted in the aggregate, on 6,750 miles, to £474,921; and for the corresponding week of 1861, on £6,585 miles, to £455,258, showing an increase of 165 miles, and of £19,653 in the receipts. The increase on the Eastern Counties Railway amounted to £3,230, on the Great Northern to £1,549, on the great Western to £10,092, on the London and North-Western to £8.,081, on the Lon don, Brighton, and South Coast to £1,554. on the London and South-Wester to £4,637, on the North British to £205, and on the South-Eastern to £l,943—total, £31,091. But from this must be deducted £428, the the decrease on the Caledonian ; £476 on the Great Southern and Western, £4,718 on the Lancashire and Yorkshire, £BB6 on the Man chester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, £3,124 on the Midland, and £2,096 on the North-Eastern, together £11,728, leaving the increase, as above, £19,663. The goods and mineral traffic on fhese lines amounted to £198,099, and for the cor responding week of 1861 to £197,642, showing an increase of £457. The receipts for passenger, parcels, &C., amounted to £276,822, against £257,616, showing an increase of £19,206. The traffic receipts on 65 other lines amounted, on 3,562 miles, to £132,634, and for the corresponding week of last year, on 3,376 miles, to £127,077, showing an incsease of 186 miles, and of £5,557 in the receipts. The increase in the traffic of the past week as compared with the corrsspond ing period of 1861, arises chiefly from the passenger traffic to the International Exhibition. The traffic receipts of the past week show an increase of £19,767, as compared with those of the preceding week, ending the 12th inst. very The 1 as opo take wife Vest- ~lace~ - - - - q., of k, S., Lugh- Grey, Edith
