MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. ("TTY T77 ( ‘ O'CT.OOT7 Considerable interest has been felt in the pro ceedings of the Bank of England Directors at their weekly meeting to-day, and as the majority inclined to the opinion that the rate would be advanced to 4 per cent., although there has been nothing to warrant such a conclusion, except the efflux of gold, which has latterly diminished, the demand for moneyhas been temporarily augmented, and bankers and capitalists have been induced to ask rather higher terms for the accommodation they have afforded. The directors of the Great Southern of India Railway Company have made a further call of £5 per share, payable on or before the 15th proximo. A call of L 2 per share has also been made on the South Eastern of Portugal Railway Company's Preference (B) shares, to be paid on the 6th o' next month. There were no bullion operations of importance at the Bank of England yesterday. Notice has been given that the sum of £05,100 has been appropriated to the redemption of 457 Danish 3 per cent. special Bonds of the Loan of 1825. A meting has been convened of the Thames Graving Dock Company for the purpose of em powering the directors to raise a sum of money on mortgage of the Company's property to spay exist ing liabilities. A fair amount of business was recorded in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices wore steadily maintained. The sales were esti mated at 12,000 bales. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under : 1860. Great Western North-Western South -W es t ern .. 18,416 Brighton .. 19,357 Midland South.

The minimum rate of discount has been raised to 41 per cent., but the recent drain 'of gold had fully prepared the public for the alters.tion, and it has consequently created no surprise. A considerable reduction has been made in the stock of bullion, and as the movement is still in operation, the direc tors of the Bank of England have found it necessary to inaugurate a restrictive policy, notwithstanding the plentiful supply of money in the discount mar ket, and the absence of any symptoms of pressure or stringency. The rise in the value of money has not produced any unfavourable symptoms in the market for Pub lic Securities, which, on the contrary, have under gone a decided improvement, Consols being 931 for money, and 931,- for December. It appears that some extensive purchases of stock for transfer, as well as on speculation, have been made. The settlement has also produced a favourable effect. The New Threes and the Reduced are firmer at 911 a ; India New Loan is steady at 1031 ; the Debentures are at 96 1 ,, and Exchequer Bills at 3s. die. to par. ; Bank Stock is flat'at 232. The dealings in the Foreign Stock Market have been very limited, and prices in some instances are rather flatter. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 704 to 711 ; ditto New, 57 ; Mexican have receded to 22; Dutch 4 per Cents. to 991 ; and Spanish to 481 ; 1 4 ; but the Deferred are steady at 401 4 ; Bra zilian 41 per Cents. (1860) are heavy at 881. Ocean Marine Insurance shares are 1; 2 prem. ; Thames and Mersey, prem.; and the Universal, * prem. Business in the Railway Share Market has been rather inactive, and prices in some instances have been less buoyant. London, Chatham, and Dover, have declined £1 ; Midlands, lOs , and North Westerns and South Westerns, ss. ; Eastern Coun ties, Great Westerns, and North Eastern, Berwick, advanced ss. The Foreign and Colonial lines have shown rather more firmness. South-Alastrian and Lom bardo-Venetian realised 111; Dutch Rhenish 121 East Indian have improved to 1001 ; and Great Indian Peninsula declined to Kt. The Canadian lines are also a shade firmer, Grand Trunks being dealt in at 21 and 211, and Great Westerns, at to f f . Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continue inactive.

GREAT YARMOUTH, Nov. 7. Another name has been added to the already lengthy list of victim s o f e explosion on board the Tanning steam er , James Wasp, the chief mate, having suecumbedto the injuries which he received. The poor fellow was a Yorkst h . reman, and has left four or five helpless children. He seems from the first to have been impressed with a conviction of hi s approaching end, for wh en h brought to shore he alluded frequently to loss which his a " p o or bairns" were about to sustain, w e Ssubsequently in. he became delirious and in the course of yester day he was mercifully released from Yunker Aintz, or Aintz Y on k sufferings. for there seems to be some doubt as to the era; a comatose nomenclature—the cattle man, continues alive, but u p to a late hour to-day he was in state, and there is but little or no hope of his re covery. The poor sufferer has sustai ne d some severe internal injury , and his case is conse quently one of great difficulty and dan g er. The other Dutchman Pieter Peters, is happily doing well, as are Edward Peak, Timothy Read, and Francis Ray, lie other men Icing at the hospital. The borough coroner (Mr. C. H. Chamberlin) has received to-day an official intimation from th e Board of Trade that C aptain Robertson, R.N., their surveyor-general, accompanied by one of their enginoer officers, has been deputed to make a close examination of the steamer, which is still lying at Lowestoft. It appears that the patch to which the captain referred in his evidence was put into the boiler on the port side ; and as possibly this patch matter will, may have had something to do with the disaster, ,the l i o ands of the inspecting officials. no doubt, receive attention at the Eleven persons ..u n_ board the steamer escaped uninjured the fright r_ 1 results of the exnlosion—viz., George Rivers, tGliOlcaPtain ; Thomas Jago, boatswain; Thomas janu. er,sea man ; William Golder, boatswain's mate; Sohit -a_Hawthorn, seaman ; John Read, seati,an ; kielkin, second engineer • two firemen, and two cattlemen.

ROLLS COURT. HobsoN V. COPP.AILD-7UDGMENT. His Honour the Master of Rolls, in delivering judg ment, said—This case comes before me in a very awkward state. I have no doubt about tle propriety of making an order, though it may be infringed. The plaintiff is entitled to prevent any acts being done whice. may have the effect of destroying the settlement entered into between the defen dant and him ; but in the meantime it will be sufficient if the defendant will give an undertakieg not to carry on the trade of a baker or confectioner to the prejudice of the Plaintiff in that particular place in question. But the bill goes on to state that not only the defendant must be re strained from carrying it on, but also the tenant. That the tenant should also be restrained and prevented by injunc tion—l am of opinion that that cannot le done. The in junction will have the effect of preventing the defendant and his tenants from carrying on the business of a confec tioner or baker in the house in question, but I cannot agree to that. My reason for not doing so is this—in the an swer he claims the right to do so. If this bill is introduced for the purpose of settling the right of the tenants, I cannot make any declaration upon that state ment. The injunction must not affect the rights of other parties, but only this party. Certainly if this tenant is content to carry on this business I cannot prevent him without further proceedings. There must be further pro• ceedings in either case. That is the only decree that I can make, with liberty to apply. The plaintiff must have his costs out of the estates. . BRITISH MINES.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Before the Lord Chief Baron, and Barons Martin, Chan nell, and Bramwell.) 'MANSELL V. THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. Mr. Bovill, Q.C., on the part of the defendant, moved for a rule to show cause why a new trial should not be granted in this case, on the ground that the verdict was against the evidence. The action was one for com pensation against the Eastern Counties Railway Company for the injuries the plaintiff had sustained by the breaking of one of the wheels of a train, near Tottenham, some time ago, by which a number of passengers were seriously injured. After that a verdict was given for plaintiff; and it was to set aside that decision the present application was made. A very large sum of money depends upon the issue of the application. The Court took time to consider its decision.' In the other courts the business did not possess tie slightest public interest. POLME INTBLZIG.ENCE-(TRI8 DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. FALLING INTO BAD COMPANT.—George David Bsdham, a clerk, residing at 2, Devonshire-terrace, Kensington ; was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt as follows : Gordon, 336 A, said that at a quarter to six on the previous evening he found the defendant in Oxenden-street, totally incapable of taking care of himself, and greatly intoxicated. He complained to him that a fighting man had taken some of his money from him, and at the time there were five or six men fighting who should have the defendant. He there fore, with the view of taking care of Lim, took him into ens to dy, and found on him five £5-notes and other money and a watch and chain. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the officer seerred not only to have taken care of the defendant and his money, but to have srxed him in all probability from a beating also. The defendant comp:ained that to had lost several pounds. Mr. Tyrwhitt said if he would go inL,o bad company he must expect it. He should discharge him, but as the offi cer seemed to have some clue to the man he had better go with hira. Maria Allgato, a shabbily attired female,. was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt under the following circumstances : The woman was brought before Mr. Beadon on Tuesday, having been remanded, charged with attempting to commit suicide, when the sitting magistrate discharged her, giving her ss. from the poor box, as she was in a very distressed condition. She appeared to have made very bad use of the money, for on Wednesday she was brought before him again for drunkenness, but discharged, and she was now brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt on a similar charge. _ _ Defendant said she was the daughter of an officer in the army, and her mother was a teacher of the pianoforte, and she could not help it. Mr. Tyrwhitt said she was clearly a person not to be pitied. The defendant exclaimed—" Pray, kind Magistrate, do discharge me this time ; I have been well brought up." Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should do so, but he saw no hope for her. THAMES. SANGUINARY AFFRAY BETWEEN Two SPANIARDS. — Carlo Montua, a morose-looking Spaniard, with a very low forehead and hair bristling on his head like a hedgehog, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with cutting and wounding Valentinus Affilianus, whose head was enve loped in surgical bandages. His person and clothes were covered with gore. It appeared that the two Spaniards were seamen, living in the same house in Neptune-street, Wellelose-square, end Choy wore wrangling together yesterday afternoon and afterwards commenced fighting and scratching eaela other. The quarrel ceased for a time. In the course of the evening some music was being played before the house where the parties lived, but the concord of sweet sounds, instead of soothing the savage breasts of the belligerents, aroused them to fresh fury, and they fought again and seised each other's hair. The prisoner got the worst of this dastardly and un-English mode of fighting, and then had recourse to the knife. He procured a long carving knife, with which he attacked his countryman with great fury, and stabbed him several times on the head with it. The wounds were severe but not dangerous. He lost a deal of blood. The prisoner said he was in liquor, but was first struck by the complainant. Mr. Selfe commented on the savage conduct of the pri soner, and fined him £5, and in default two months' impri sonment. TBIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. 111 If ERIAL WEEKLY AVERAGES.

The Master Cutler of Sheffield having forwarded to Lord Palmerston the address which was prepared for presentation to his lordship by the Cutlers' Company at Wentworth House, had he been able to remain in Yorkshire a few days longer al expected, Lord Palmerston has forwarded tle following reply : " 94, Piccadilly, Nov. 2. " Sir,—l have had the honour to receive your letter of the 31st of last month, together with its accompanying address from the Company of Cut lers in Hallamshire, which the company had ap pointed yourself and some other members of the company to present to me during my visit at Wentworth ; and I have to express my great regret that Lady Palmerston's indisposition which ren dered it necessary for me to take her at once to London, and thus prevented me from availing myself of Lord Fitz william's kind invitation to Wentworth, has deprived me of the great pleasure which I should have felt in receiving this address from your hands and from those of the other members who would have accompanied you. lam thankful, however, to you and to the Cutlers' Company for having seNt me the address; and I beg that you will have the goodness to convey to the company the expression of the high gratification and the pride with which I have received so honourable and flattering a testimony of the goodwill and approval of so dis tinguished a body. It ought alwAys to be the study of every man charged with the responsibility of duties in the public service so to act as to deserve the good opinion and approbation of his fellow countrymen, and it must always be the most highly prized reward of his labours to find that this object has been attained. I request you to accept my sincere thanks for the very obliging terms of your letter; and I can assure you that it would afford me great pleasure to be able at some future time to visit that active and interesting seat of prosperous industry from which your letter is dated.—l have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, " PALMERSTON: " M. Hunter, Esq., jun., Master Cutler of S heffield ." THE LATE DIUTINY 1N JAVA. Mention has been made in a recent Indian mail of the revolt of the Swiss troops dismissed the ser• vice of the Papal Government after the affair at Perugia, , and then enlisted by the Dutch authori ties to guard their settlements in Java. The fol lowing particulars of the occurrence have now come to hand:— " From some cause or other disagreements arose between the Dutch and the Swiss soon after their arrival, and in a short time a wide-spread conspiracy was formed,which included several of the native races. It was arranged by the mutineers that the garri sons of Samarang, Ambavava, Djocijicarta, and Sourabaya should revolt simultaneously on the 18th August last, while at the same time the natives should make an attack on the Dutch at Aninnthay. A Swiss soldier, who, it would appear, was at the head of the revolt in Samarang, sent a tele graphic message to another Swiss at Ambavava containing the words ' About twelve o'clock.' The telegraphic clerk thought this looked ♦ery suspi cious, and did not forward the message to its des tination, but mentioned the matter to his comman dant, who, on his part, instituted an investiga tion as quietly as possible, and, learning what was contemplated, on the evening of the 17th August he caused the barracks at Samarang to be surrounded and sent three regiments to Ambavava. The mutineers were soon quieted at Samarang, only four men being killed and some others wounded ; but at Ambavava a mere serious struggle took place between the Swiss and the troops faithful to the Govern■ ment, for the former defended •themselves in their barracks as long as their ammunition lasted, and great numbers were killed, including many people who passed the barracks on their way to seek protection by leaving the town and fleeing to Samarang. As soon as the revolted Swiss'had ex hausted their ammunition they were compelled to surrender, but they were only allowed to leave the barracks two or three at a time, and without weapons; and whenever they reassembled in any numbers, they were at once fired upon. A court martial soon afterwards sentenced 35 of the muti neers to be hanged. On the next day court-martials were held in all the garrisons, and it is believed that many of the native princes are proved to bo concerned in the conspiracy." WIND AND WEATHER REPORT.

ARGYLL IN MAN- CHESTER. The annual meeting of the Lancashire and Cheshire Mechanics' Institutes, of which his Royal Highness the Prince Consort is president, was held on Tuesday in Manchester, commencing with the annual meeting of the delegates, at noon, in the lecture hall of the ,Mechanics' Institution, DaTid street. In the evening a public meeting was held in the Great Free-trade Hall, at which his Grace the Duke of Argyll presided, and distributed prizes and certi ficates to the 130 male and female candidates who had been successful at the publie and p r i va t e e minations during the past year. The f 011 mug gentlemen were also amongst those on the platfore: —The Hon. Algernon Egerton, M.P. ; 11r. Thomas Bazley, M.P. • Major Gray, MX. ; Mr. Hey wood, Mr. J. Watts, Ivie Mackie, Esq., th' Mayor of Manchester, &c. y th e loceedin gs, The Noble CHAIRMAN, in opening thanked them for the honour which ticY had don e him, personally a stranger, in invit'ig him to pre side that evening. They all kner that the very name of Manchester was over thrwhole world con sidered as the representative o fthat commercial in dustry and intelligence whic! were one at least of the main foundations of our'at,ional prosperity and power. That was one s;-e of the picture; but he need hardly tell those .sserabled there that there was another side. Wyat was the moral, what the social condition of twse masses of the population which their commercial enterprise had brought to gether ? Was ior was it not an improving condi tion ? That Ny' s a question which he need hardly say must be .ixed often ; and though he was far from sayin r hat it should be answered in any spirit of despond,ne.Y, it was a question which all must ask w ith sore feeling of anxiety, and with respect to whi c h nany friends of public education in this county' had been almost driven to despair—to desprz at least of all mere voluntary exertion, and t o }old the opinion that nothing short of the strong ar il of the law, nothing short of a national system o education founded on public assessment, could /ossibly overtake the evil. Now, whatever might be the opinion of various persons present upon the question of public education, he at least rejoiced to see by the working of that association that they were determined not to wait for a system of public education ; that they were determined by a volun tary exertion to put their shoulders to the wheel, and. to do what could be done at least in the mean time. (Hear, hear.) He felt sure that that was a wise resolution ; for, though he did not pretend to predict what might be the future solution of that great question in this great country, he was sure that they ought not to wait for it, and that for two reasons—first, that, should any system of public education such as that to which he had referred never come into operation, voluntary exertion was, after all, the best, and indeed it was the only sub stitute ; and secondly, if a system of public educa tion ever did come, it was not unlikely to be built upon the foundation which they might lay. Ad dressing himself to the consideration of the relation which mechanics' institutes had upon the present state and the future prospects of the great question of national education, his grace traced the failure of the efforts which were made 17 years ago by Sir Robert Peel's government to establish a national system to the natural, and the perhaps in some de gree just, jealousy which had arisen among the various Christian communities of this country. Every one of those bodies was more or less inclined to look with jealousy and suspicion upon any sys tem of public education which would tend to im pede or to fetter their future operations. He there fore conceived that the system of Privy Council grants had been practically firmly established, so that whatever system of national education was in future to be adopted must in a great degree be founded upon the system now established. Look ing for a moment at the objections which obtained against that system, his grace confessed that he did not concur in the objection that it had been a sec tarian education. There was no man who was more opposed than he was to what was called sec tarian teaching—no man who would be more op posed, more averse, than he should be, to the teach ing of religion in a dogmatic, contentious, and controversial spirit. (Hear, hear.) He thought it would be well, too, for the churches of this country to remember that they were now teaching and speaking in the presence of multitudes of men who either belonged to no church at all or whose alle giance to any church sat very loose upon them — who had a very sharp eye to detect the smallest mixture of human passion in the teaching of di vine things, and to distinguish between that zeal which proceeded from pride of system and that which proceeded from the love of truth. (Hear, hear, and applause.) He should be glad to see in that spirit one rule adopted by all denominational schools of this country, namely, that they would afford their secular education to any child whose parents objected to the peculiar religious teaching of that denomination, without forcing that child to go through their system of religious instruction. (Hear, hear.) That was a rule which all churches would do well to adopt; and whilst just in itself, he thought it would be in a high degree adapted to the population amongst whom such churches might exist. (Hear, hear.) He was very glad to enter tain the belief that in many schools, both of the established church and of dissenting churches, that rile was absolutely adopted with great advantage and success. But with all the objections that were raised to it he confessed he did not think they could afford to spare the agency of the Christian churches of this country. (Hear, hear.) He sympathised very heartily with the feeling, which he believed to be prevalent in this country, that the primary edu cation of the young ought to be connected as far as possible with the teaching of religion, whilst he hada very strong conviction that there was no other security for the reality of the religious teaching than that the education should be connected with verified systems of Christian doctrine ; and he was not so jealous as some others appeared to be of the influence of difference of religious opinion upon the habits of thought and opinions of men. (Hear, hear.) Looking back to the past history of this country, he could not help remembering that the liberties of England had to a very large extent been founded upon the results of differences of religious opinions and feelings. (Hear, hear.) Liberty of conscience, which was the first of all liberties, had been the direct re sult of religious dissent; and he was sometimes tempted to think that the same influence which had been so powerful in the founding of our liberties was not wholly valueless in preserving them. (Hear, hear.) He did not deny that religious opinions affected—and sometimes affected most in juriously—the political and secular opinions of mankind • and they saw some remarkable instances of it at the present moment, in the apathy which many, as capable as any of them of generous emo tions—men who valued liberty or who professed to do so, and complained most bitterly when they were themselves deprived of it—yet showed to the struggle now being made in the Italian peninsula —(cheers)—to effect changes which had been put ting an end to systems of government which had been odious in the dark ages and among the rudest nations, but which were doubly horrible as applied to a refined people and in an enlightened age— (hear, hear) —changes which were so deeply sympa thised in by the great mass of the people of this country that he believed he did not exaggerate when he said that their accomplishment had added to the happiness of almost every English home. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Yet they saw many men withdrawing their sympathies from that movement solely and entirely in consequence of the cramping influence of certain ecclesiastical prejudices and opinions. In spite of all the dangers and evils, he repeated he did not think they could part with thisor spare the agencies of Christian churches country ; and in allthose countries, at where least,hian was there were free opinion and free discussion,teiy for satisfied that that influence would be ul h tira the best. He was not anxious to se Bch s P hould be a eople of England drilled in any one system .o w any religious wholly negative with referent t the whole belief, but if ho saw any r_ geious denomination fully occupying the field :e a r th g a t t h , and eau mass he should be disposedsternto that could iyo de whole, that was the bell e s- b r dieved that the real vised.

That, however, which was per hapssmall. . a defect incidental to the system, might be • by such voluntary exertions as to some dimin i s h e d _ exten t he saw typified in the aulience he then ad dressed. The defect in the educational system was n ot so much a want of schools as the very short time which the working classes could be persuaded to devote to education —the early period at which they withdrew their children from school. The first question which they naturally asked themselves with regard to th e i r association was, what was the kind or system of education which was pursued under its patronage ? That was a question the more important to ask, as it was quite notorious that there had been a very common impression that what were commonly called mechanics' institutions bad to a very great extent been a failure in this country, and some of his predecessors in that chair had referred to the well-known joke that mechanics' institutions in this country were wholly devoid of mechanics. He believed this bad been to a great extent owing to the want of any system in Lbe education which had hitherto, at least, been affor 1 in mechanics' in§titutions, and there was one Pointl with regard to the corking of that association which he could not help alluding to as one of the most important fettures, namely, the comparatively low value which was placed upon the m ere system of lectures, for though having a most valuable place in education.! schemes, the noble duke w as per fectly satiFled that lectures given upon incidental subjects, wholly unconnected with any study on th e part of those who heard them, must be of the minimum use. The unrestricted choice of subjects u p or which gentlemen were asked to lecture, his gr p;e feared, was a great temptation to lecturers tr endeavour to show off themselves rather than !Ale subject on which they lectured—(hear, hear) —and he was of opinion that a much higher esti mate ought to be taken by those who addressed the working classes of this country, whether from the platform, the hustings, or upon any public occasion, of the intelligence of those classes, and of the ability which they possessed to judge of real argument and of reason in what was addressed to them. Speaking of the social condition of the in dustrious classes, the noble chairman admitted that the want of habits of frugality was by leo means confined or even greatest amongst that class, for the want of such habits was very remarkable amongst the highest classes of this country . ; for they con stantly saw me n li v i ng above th e i r income, postpon ing for future generations burdens whi ch . they ought to take upon themselves, great social evil i n the embarrassment estates very and the postponement of agricultural improvement. A most important feature o f their association the systematic nature of its wor k , so that it was was really teaching, and not more lecturing; and the system of competitive examination was a most valuable consideration, as affording a stimulus to the great masses 'of the population. Altogether the results of the past year must be regarded as most satisfactory, for of 593 of the candidates for honours, including the females, there were only 99 persons who could not be said, in the strictest sense, to belong to the operative or mechanical class. After analysing and remarking upon the various features of the association as shown in the report, institutions were grace concluded by saying that such were the robust and happy growth of freeinstitu tions ; they were not merely the proof of a free people, but they were the indications of a people who knew how to use their freedom well. (Cheers.) At a subsequent period of the evening the noble duke urged the employers to show their apprecia tion of the objects of the association by choosing for preferment such of the operatives as had distin guished themselves at the public examinations of the institute. The prizes and certificates having been distri buted, on the motion of Mr. C. Heywood, seconded by Major Gray, M.P., a resolution was adopted expressive of the value of the institute as an im portant means of promoting the social welfare of the working classes ; and a vote of thanks was passed by acclamation to the noble chairman, having been moved by Mr. Algernon Egerton, M.P., and seconded by Mr. Thomas Bazley, M.P. THE GRAND T.R UNE OF CANADA IAIL WAY. The surmise that the a ccoun t s b y th e Af r i ca regarding the Grand Trunk of Canada Rail way had been found to be of a discouraging nature ap pears to have been correct. The stock, which left off on Tuesday at 24, opened yesterday morning at 20, and, although a subsequent I.ally took place, it was only to 201 t o 21. The bonds also expe rienced a decline of about 1 per cent. No single event in the history of finance has ever caused such widespread anxiety as now prevails regard ing this undertaking. Yet, thus far, scarcely a ray of additional light can be obtained ex cept such as may be gathered from the biassed articles of the journals of the province, all of which abound in fierce invective and wild recrimination. At Liverpool yesterday a meeting of stock and debenture holders has been held, which was convened to hen a statement from Mr. Chapman of that town, a brother of one of the English directors, and who has lately made a tour of observation along the line. The chair was taken by Mr. Edward Moss, and after a long statement from Mr. Chapman, giving a picture of the causes of the crash, a committee of five was appointed to carry on investigations. Meanwhile, the conclusions to be drawn from the latest articles in the Canadian papers are similar to those previously suggested. The Toronto Leader, au organ of the Provincial Government, admits that a " tremendous catas trophe" is impending, and describes the probable closing of the road as likely to involve a crisis for the commercial interests of Canada which it would be " frightful to contemplate." At the same time, it admits that a further advance of money by the Government is not to be thought of for a moment. The Opposition journals, on the other hand, assert that the Government are only deterred by terror from entering into fresh commitments, and that the threat to stop all traffic on the road is but a device to induce Parliament to sanction some new scheme. The attempt, however, it is added, will " utterly fail." " The line is paying something more than running expenses, and the proprietors, so long as it does that, will not injure them selves by closing it up. It is not so easy a thing to open a road after it is once closed, that £12,000,000 should be raised on so absurd a pro ceeding." The my for an expose of the whole course of the undertaking seems universal, but whenever the discussion comes on in the Legislature it will probably be found that, owing to the number of persons implicated among each political party, there will be a general desire, like that exhibited after Mr. Hudson's break-up in England, to make compro mises and check revelations. Nevertheless, nothing could be stronger than the present expressions of a determination to have the whole affair sifted. These intimations, however, would be serious if they were less violent. " Swindlers," "knaves," and "des peradoes," are epithets hurled at all concerned, and the circumstances connected with the recent legal proceedings ordered from this side are denounced by the .Hamilton Tones as having "an appearance of rascality." Apart from this vituperation the graver statements seem to be—first, that the amount and nature of the advances obtained from the Bank of Upper Canada, and the circumstances attending them, require to be fully made known ; secondly, that the members of the Ministry must be forced to give a clear account of all their recent and prospective measures on the subject; and • lastly, that there is a general impression among the Canadian public that if an inquiry is properly pushed it will result in disclosures that might compel many prominent political and other personages to retire immediately from public life. On the whole, it would be a happy conclusion if it should appear that justice could be satisfied by a clean sweep of all the parties responsible, and that the interests of the innocent investors co u ld then be considered with calmness and generosity.
