It certainly left the defeated party at the last elec tion little to desire, except the formal retrieval of their supremacy; and that, so long as they are sup posed to be identical with the old League, will not be achieved. " Dictation:of the League" was, as every one now knows, the real cry which caused the rejection of the formerly popular candidates, but last evening furnished abundant evidence that the members themselves are still as popular speakers as ever. Mr. GIBSON had made his speech just before at Ashton „'an d though he could not but take a prominent place, yet of mrse the principal part was reserved for his old colleague the member for Birmingham, and the Reform Bill-maker-elect of the London Parliamentary- Reform Committee. Mr. BRIGHT was, naturally enough, in high feather, and had at least a happy oratorical fling for most of the critics of his Birmingham orations. He has at least the advantage of replying to his opponents in a style which induces the public, as well as his antagonists themselves, to read what he says; and if it be easy to see, often, where the logician could slip in a puzzling question, it is easy also to see that, at the meeting, the logician would have little chance with the ready and felicitous turns and broad assertions of the speaker. Novelty of topics, or even of illustrations, was not, now, to be expected. Reform was to be the topic,and the illustrations have long been before us all, yet everything was . well freshened up, and we travel over the old ground with pleasure in Mr. BRIGHT'S speech. He denied the plea of " indifference," for in the course of his experience he had never known such a concurrence of all Prime Ministers, and all parties on the subject ; the Whigs, Conser vatives, Peelites—Lord DERBY, Lord PALMERSTON, Lord JOHN RUSSELL—aII are Reformers now. Forty years ago the very place on which the meet ing was held was the scene of the Peterloo Mas sacre—now the political successors of the men who ordered it, were busy on a second Reform Bill ! ! Retrenchment of expenditure, and a better supervi sion of our foreign policy, Mr. BRIGHT thought, were two thing s for which Reform was at least ob viously needed. He praised quite loyally the present wearer of the Crown, and repudiated all nonsense about hostility either to the Monarchy or the House of Lords, although he denied that a hereditary Legislature could be a permanent institution in an in colligent and free country ; but, he demanded that as the QUEEN and th e L or d s each held their share in the government of the country, so 'the people should have theirs ; that the House of Commons should not be the deputy of the Lords, but the real, not the sham representation of the people. How can this be said to be the ease, when, on the testimony of Lord DERBY himself, if you could tell the politics of a few principal land ords in a county, you could tell the politics of the county itself ? How can represention be real, when only one million out of five millions of adults have votes, and when out of that million one-sixth of the number return a majority of the House of Commons. In regard to the counties them selves about 200,000 tenants of £5O and upwards were now the strength of the landlords' constitu encies, while, by arecent return, there were double hat number, occupying between £lO and £5O, who had no vote at`' all. The long light for corn laws— needing, in truth, a famine to abolish them—and, the present existence of a special and exceptional code of murderous game laws, to protect, not pro perty, but a mere amusement, were the natural consequences of such a,state of things. Mr. BRIGHT defended, with great good humour and good sense, his proposed rating suffrage. It had the great convenience of being already in exist ence in boroughs and unions ; andthe names of Lord GREY and CHARLES Fox were invoked in its favour. He was also happy in his observation on the Ballot, and specially so in his retorts on those who charged him with wishing to Americanise our institutions. The only reason why they refused the Ballot was, not because they did not understand our arguments in its "favour, but because they understood them quite as well as we do, in fact, too well. And as to America, why, they were quite ready to borrow reaping machines, printing machines, horse tamers, poetry, and revolvers especially from America— anything but politics. ' He gave one salutary warning to both Whigs and Tories. Should the latter bring in a bill below the fair expectations of the people, and should the Whigs, with aristocratic selfishness, join to force it on the House, then the really popular and liberal members would occupy one side of the house, and the two sections of the aristocracy the other. The result would be a distinct pitting of aristocracy against democracy, an increase of democratic strength at each election, and the creation of an animosity against the now governing classes, against which they would be wholly unable to contend. Well, it will not long be said that the towns, at least, are indifferent or apathetic. Birmingham and Manchester have made a good beginning, and others are following their example. Altogether the most effective and admirable speech yet delivered within our recollection, by Lord STANLEY, during the ten years of his public life, is the one he has but just now addressed to the cadets at Addiscombe. The harangue was emi nently practical and to the purpose throughout. It was stirring and inspiriting, and in every respect worthy of falling from the lips of the First Secre tary of State for the Administration of the affairs of ilindostan. The noble lord spoke with a tempered and wise discretion, strangely beyond the years of one who only ten winters since .was himself a student at one of the Universities. Scarcely have ten years elapsed when one of the alumni of yesterday at Cambridge is descanting upon the great duties of life, illustrating his pre lection with wise saws carefully chosen, and modern instances judiciously selected, before an assemblage of the passed cadets at the Military College of Addis combe. Lord STANLEY spoke to the eager throng of " bright and young adventurers "—in his capacity as head of one of the great departments of the State, and ruler over the destinies of from 100,000,000 to 200,000,000 of the human race. He reminded his hearers, at the outset, how truly everything in Asia—" public safety, national honour, personal reputation "—is dependant upon the sheer force of individual character. And as an anticipative encouragement in every probable future interval of despondency, revived vividly to recollec tion the careers of General Sir Wm. NOTT and of General Sir HENRY HAVELOCK. It was surely enough to mention those two illustrious names to justify to the full Lord STANLEY'S authoritative assurance that—in India—" talent, with perseve rance, need never despair of an opportunity." BothNoTT and HAVELOCK had long passed middle life before that golden opportunity arrived for either. It came at last, and in each instance the man at once proved more than equal to the occa- Years of obscure but honourable and con scientious discharge of duty were rewarded at last upon a sudden with the heroic recompense of a world-wide and enduring reputation. Frequently, in all likelihood, had both one and the other sighed over the monotonous and undistinguished destiny that seemingly gave no promise whatever of fixing upon either the regard of their fellow-countrymen —of reusing their sym pathy, much less of kindling: their admiration. Eventually, however, we repeat, it came at last, the all but despaired of opportunity—it came in their declining years, when their hair was already sion . whitening with age. It came, moreover, that grand reward of great historical Fame, in India not many years ago—between the career of Non and the career of HAVELOCK—to a yet more re markable soldier than either of those mentioned by the Secretary of State for India. It came tar dily but resplendently, in the sixty-first year of his age, to one of the most glorious warriors in our annals,to Sir CHARLES JAMES NAPIER,whose 60 years in 1843, as his gallant brother the Historian has written of him—" had not prevented him from defeating a great army, capturing two strong fortresses, and marching under a Scindian sun above two hundred miles, all in sixteen days." Not that the Conqueror of Scinde was obscure until sixty years had gone over his head; but that his heroic career, as one of the young majors of WEL LINGTON in theif'eninsula, and his eminent ser vices as chief in command :at Cephalonia, - had given to none, perhaps, but himself and his appreciative brother, auguries of his grand ulterior reputation. Remember, however, that when he qUitted the shores of England, upon his Indian staff appointment in 1841, when he took his departure from this 'island to go and conquer the Lion of Meerpoor and his heroic warriors the Ameers, he had already entered upon old age, he was so indifferently off for money that on paying down for his passage before starting he received a guinea change as his whole worldly wealth ; that his health was so poor and his constitution so shattered that his life was refused at the insurance office. Yet this impoverished ailing man of nearly sixty went out there and earned for himself a grand'historic reputation in India, added a superb province to our Asiatic possessions, routed an army of 30,000 dis ciplined warriors of the East with a handful of Europeans, won a splendid dominion at the point of his sword, and, thereupon, in the very midst of the debris of battle, created and organised a Go vernment. Assuredly, after this, Lord STANLEY might well say that, in India, none with perse verance need ever despair of an opportunity. Not that every one is a NOTT or a HAVELOCK, or much less a NAPIER ; but that those heroic men, that great general and conqueror, are standing proofs in even Anglo-Indian history, that none at least need ever despair of—the opportunity. When it comes—it will be then to use it. But come it may at any ana pmeurilotidploicritythe day, in spite of every variety at a disappointment. :later De spondencyaer everyi m is at may y ts n ID-appearance. Sooner o look forward in India to that ultimate opportunity. In further illustratio n of the r,Tal frivolity of the temptation of despondency, Lord STANLEY re minded the young cadets at Addiscoliabe "that that most valuable public servant, Lord , METCALFE, once wrote back from .India entreating tobe allowed to give up a service for which he felt no taste, and in which he had no hope of success"—hem who ulti- ~..__,_ THE 1- . TN oNnny SATURDAY F.VP,NING. DECEMBER 11. ISSB wately obtained the highest posts of honour in Indian and Colonial Administration. " Remember, again," said Lord STANLEY, " that if common re port be not unfounded, the most illustrious soldiers of English or Indian history—the Duke of WELLIN G TON himeslf at an early period of his / career seriously contemplated abandoning a profession in which he despaired of advancement." After that the one obvious motto for the India Cadet is 'surely nil desperandum. If Lord METCALFE repined, if the Duke of WELLINGTON doubted, if Sir CHARLES NAPIER, and Sir WILLIAM NOTT, and Sir HENRY HAVELOCK had grown grey in the service before the hour of their glory had struck for either—it is surely always too early to despair, it is surely never too late to look for the opportunity. The rest of the impressive harangue delivered by the Secre tary of State for India to the assembled students at Addiscombe, was yet more calculated, if possible, to influence their judgments, to hearten them in their career, and to tend appreciably and admirably to the general development of their character as champions—in Asia—of the cause of European civilisation. The reduction of the rate of discount on Thurs day by the Directors of the Bank of England from 3 to 21 per cent., not only took the general public, but even the speculators of the Stock Exchange, completely by surprise. For once the alteration had not been " discounted," or, in other words, anticipated, and acted on by some of the jobbers. Indeed, it was more than hinted on many occasions that certain favoured individuals had timely notice of the intended reduction, and were thus enabled to realise Considerable profits for themselves at the expense of those who had no means of obtaining information. The secret was, however, strictly kept on the present occasion, or, what is perhaps just as probable, the result was not previously known by any of the directors them selves, and thus no certain statement could be made ; the hint could not be sufficiently definitive to justify an extensive movement. How ever great the probability, there was not the abso lute certainty in which certain classes of gamblers delight. It has of late been notorious that there are two opposing parties in the Bank parlour—the one being opposed to any reduction, on the very clear and intelligible ground that it might tend to the promotion of bubble schemes, and that, not withstanding the Act of 1844, they had still a duty to discharge to the community, so long as they remained in the position of Directors of even a quasi National Bank. The others who have sup ported the change belong to the party of the "hard calculators," and naturally look forward to a speedy increase in the rate of discount, by means whereof those who have been taken by the tempting bait, and induced to speculate beyond their means, will have to pay heavily for their grievous mistake. These are the gentlemen who adopt the principle enunciated by the Leviathan, that, no matter what may be the charge for money, whether it be one or twenty per cent., there should be no . interference. The hard calculating spider should be allowed to deal with the simple fly, who was silly enough to enter into the ela borate web carefully prepared for his reception. No matter what might be his fate, he had only to blame himself for his folly, and the "hard" gentle man should benefit to the utmost extent that could be obtained from his victim. Surely if "laws are made for every degree," the card and skittle sharpers and thimbleriggers havo reason to complain that they are punished on account of the super for skill which extracts money from country yokels, who are so imprudent as to be beguiled by their plausible speeches, while speculators of a higher class, but by no means superior integrity, are not only allowed to escape scot free, but even to retain the booty they may have realised, and pos. sibly to demand any remaining property of the sufferer. Hitherto the former party had a majority, and, notwithstanding the onslaught of the Times, and its repeated attacks on the directors, they held their ground, and received the approbation of every disinterested and unprejudiced person throughout the length and breadth of the land. They:were, in fact, acquiring a reputation that might have been very beneficial when the question of the renewal of their charter came under the consideration of Parliament. It was something to find men who looked to their moral and equitable, as well as to their legal, responsibilities. This, however, has been altogether changed. The Directors have most unaccountably altered their tactics ; they have now yielded, although the siege had been raised. We hope that they will receive as much credit for the surrender as they did for their former steady resistance. If they can justify themselves it will be an addi tional proof, and one of no ordinary importance, that the Act of 1844 must be repealed. The directors must purchase bullion at a fixed price, and must, if they desire to pay a handsome divi dend to their constituents, find employment for it at such terms. Bills will be freely discounted that would not be looked at during a panic, or when they are compelled to part with their gold at the very same rate that they paid for it when it was literally a " drug in the market " This creates the excitement that is the commencement of the monetary cycle, one portion whereof is so disastrous to the industrial community. No subject has occasioned a greater degree of comment for a considerable period, and we regret to say that the general impression was by no means favourable to the wisdom or propriety of the movement.

The Bank of England Return, completed to the Bth December, shows some rather favourable fea tures. The cessation of the shipments of specie to the continent has caused a slight increase in the stock of bullion, and the reserve of notes has also been augmented to a considerable amount. In the other securities the alteration is not of an important character—the slight increase having been caused by the demand for accommodation to meet the requirements of commerce, the preparations for the spring trade in most of the manufacturing districts being actively carried on. The public deposits, owing to the active collection of the revenue, show an augmentation of over half a million, but the private deposits have slightly fallen off. In the active circulation there is also a slight diminution. The various items of the balance-sheet and the changes hey present will be seen in the subjoined table : Active Circulation .. /20,038,910 Decrease .. • • • • 270,230 Bullion .. • . 18,921,171 Increase .. 144,857 Rest • . • •• . • 3,096,933 Increase .• •• •• 2,205 Public Deposits •. •• •• 8,855,814 Increase .. . , 610,603 Other Deposits • • . • . • 12,371,668 Decrease . • •• . • 120,090 Seven Day and other Bills .. 794,168 Decrease .. •• •• •• 4,230 Government Securities .. . 10,808,591 • No alteration. 15,505,731 • • 73,401 .. 12,731,260 407,220 Other Securities • .

The brokers are now actively competing for the bills brought forward ; and the bankers and discount-brokers, in order to monopo lise a larger share, will have to submit to lower rates, through the excessive abundance, and the difficulty found in employing large amounts of money. The applications for accommodation are tolerably active, owing to the annual and other payments which temporarily appropriate a large aggregate sum ; but in the existing situation of commercial affairs, and with speculation discouraged as at present, a largely increased demand is not likely to be sustained. Since Monday last the imports of specie have been about £301,350, and the exports £43,780, exclusive of the following shipments direct from London to the Continent during the week ending Thursday last :—Gold coin, Boulogne, 315 ozs. ; silver coin, Boulogne, 3,920 ozs. A small quantity of gold, viz. £4,000 was :taken into the Bank yesterday. The Australian advices report the departure from the colony of the Orwell with £317,880, and of the Kent with £390,744. The Niagara has £130,000 on board. The market for public securities has not exhi bited any change of importance to-day. Very little business has been recorded, speculation still being kept within moderate limits. The quota tions, however, are steady, and the late advance has been well supported. Since the Bank reduced the rate, the character of the market has senibly improved, and the operators for a rise are rendered still more confident by the general prospects both of ' monetary and poli tical affairs.

THE ILLNESS OF THE LORD MAYOR.—We ex ceedingly regret to hear that Alderman David Williams Wire, the newly-elected Lord Mayor of London, is suffering from severe indisposition. His lordship, we understand, was attending a dinner in connection with histaking official possession of the Mansion-house, on Friday, when he was seized with a fit of paralysis which deprived him of his senses and the use of his right side. The Lord Mayor was conveyed to his private residence at Lewisham, where he has since been confine& to his bed, and although he has happily been restored to consciousness, his right arm and leg are quite powerless. A telegraphic communication of the alarming intellig ante was made to his lordship's numerous relatives and friends in Colchester. Great sym pathy is felt at the aid calamity which has befallen the Lord Mayor so soon after his elevation to the highest post of honour which could be conferred upon him by his fellow citizens, but hopes ave entertained that his lordship's ill ness will prove - only of a temporary character. The illness, it is believed, was br ought on by over exertion since his advent to the chief magisterial office, and he has been inter dicted by his medical attendants from taking part in public business for some time to come. During his lordship's absence from the civic courts, Sir. R. W. Carden will, it is understood, act as his locum tenens.—Chelmeford Chronicle. LETTERS AND PACKAGES FOR NEW SOUTH WALES.-A notice just issued from the General Post-office says that, "cn the Ist January next, and thenceforward, a letter or packet of printed papers, addressed to New South Wales, may be registered on the application of the person posting it, provided the postage, together with a registra tion fee of 6d., be paid in advance."

STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Dec. 107—There continues to be a fair amount of business doing, both in goods and yarn. The demand for goods is rather more active than is usually the case at this season of the year, and the result of the week's business has been to give a firmer tone to the market generally. There is a good demand for shirtings for India, at the full rates quoted on Tuesday. Domestics, T cloths, &c., are also in fair request, and prices are well sustained. There is still a fair inquiry for light makes of printing cloths, at previous rates. Yarns are not much inquired after by purchasers for the Continent, and the home trade also operate sparingly, but there is more animation for India and China, and prices are on the whole tolerably firm. MINES.—The mining market has continued throughout the week in a state of the greatest activity, and a larger amount of business has been transacted than we have noticed for many months past. Tin has advanced £4 per ton, and copper also expected to rise before Christ mas. These circumstances, combined with the disco verie3 that have been made, render it probable that the pre sent activity will increase, rather than diminish. Heavy dividend shares have been largely dealt in—such as West Seton, at M to 300, and a good demand. Basset, 210 to 215; a dividend of £6 per share declared at the two monthly meet ing. South Caradon, 405 to 410. Providence Mines have advanced to 65. Wheal Margaret, 60 to 61 2 and in request. Great Alfred have advanced from 2f to 4, m expectation of a course of ore in the 200 fm. level. Alfred Consols more inquired for. Wheal Charlotte, to which we referred last week as likely to recommence dividends, has advanced from 10 to 171 20, so that this mine has had a rise of £lO,OOO in a week; on Thursday information was privately received that a great improvement had taken place, and shares rose quickly from 12 to 171 20. Hingston, without anyreported change, have been cruller, and receded to 3 31,—Mining Journal of this clay. OP CERTIFICATE, This bankrupt was formerly lessee of the Strand Theatre, and bankrupt as a bookseller, and he now came up to apply for his certificate, supported by Mr. Warrand, Basinghall street, and opposed by Mr. Savile, on behalf of Mr. Levy, the principal creditor, on the ground that the bankruptcy had been concerted, and that there were no assets. It ap peared that the bankrupt, being in difficulties, was obliged to take the benefit of the Insolvent Act, or to apply to this court; it did not appear advisable for hint to apply to the Insolvent Court as he would be under the necessity of suffering imprisonment, and he would not come before this court on his o\vn petition, as he had not got £l5O, or, in fact, any thing to deposit, and therefore he was made bankrupt by Mr. Buckingham, the stage manager, on a debt of £152 ; but the only assets given up were £l5 bad debts, and even the messenger's fees were paid, as Mr. Buckingham, on being applied to, produced his.protection from the Insolvent Court. Mr. Warrand briefly addressed the Court, when His Honour referred to the report "Re Sellers," often quoted, and said that on that authority he felt bound to refuse the certificate. IN RE CLAYFOLE.-JUDGMENT ON CERTIFICATE. This bankrupt was described as of Old Broad-street, merchant, and his Honour now gave judgment on the ques tion of certificate, which had been opposed on the ground that the bankrupt had not kept proper books, and that his expenses had greatly exceeded his profits His Honour said that it might almost be said that he had kept no books, but the official assignee reported that he had accounted for a purchase, and the case, therefore, could not be said to come under the 256th sec. of 12 a n d 13 Vie., c. 106. The bank rupt had traded imprudently; he would, therefore, suspend the certificate for 12 months from the 6th of November, and then to be of the second class. • Protection granted. MAILS FOR THE RED RIVER SETTLEMENT We have the authority of the Postmaster-General of Canada for stating that mails for the Red River Settlement are forwarded rejularly under contract from Toronto twice a month during the summer, and once a month during the winter ; and that no charge is levied upon letters, &c., ad dressed to the Red River Settlement beyond the ordinary rates of postage applicable to letters, & c., for Canada. LETTERS FROM NORWAY.—lnformation having been received that the packet communication between Den mark and Norway has ceased for the winter, the mails for Norway will be forwarded through Sweden until further notice. During the period of the conveyance of these mails via Sweden the rate of postage upon letters addressed to Norway will be is. sd. the half ounce, and so on, according to the scale for charging inland letters. This rate comprises both the British and foreign postage on letters addressed to Norway, and constitutes the whole charge to the place of their destination, and it may be either paid in advance, or the letters may be forwarded unpaid, at the option of the sender : except, however, in the case of registered letters, the postage upon which, as well as the registration fee, must be paid in advance.—By command of th Postmaster- General, RowLmac.
