THE CTIEAP OMNIBUS SYSTEM.—Yesterday, in consequence of the success attending the running of the omnibuses from the Strand to Paddington for 2d., the direc tors of the London Conveyance Company and Association started a large number of their vehicles from Paddington to Tottenham Court-road (Oxford-street end), at a charge of 3d. each passenger, and from Tottenham Court-road to the Bank for the same sum. The number of omnibuses now running from Hungerford Market to Paddington exceeds fifty, and it is stated that, although one-third less than the old fare for each passenger, a much greater sum of money is realised than formerly, s the vehicles perform four times the number of jour neys in the same time it took them to do one when going through the City to the Bank, in consequence of the blocking up of Pleet-street, Cheapside, _ &c.

A few of the small number of subscribers now in town " dropped in " in the course of the afternoon, more, we imagine, with the desperate hope of meeting with some of the absentees, and closing their Newmarket accounts, than with any idea of business or future events. This hope was not realised—those who were absent on Monday, were non est yesterday, and we are not aware that twenty pounds were rubbed off the heavy balances due in many q u a r t e r s . The Derby betting, as may be wall imagined, was very slack; still, as several animals were backed, chiefly in small amounts, we are enabled to present a moderately good list of prices. 16 to 3 agst Scott's Lot—taken 16 to 3 agst John Day's lot 7to 1 agst Lord Eglinton's Van Tromp 1000 to 30 agst Mr. Gully's Allertonian—taken 1000 to 25 agst Mr. Mostyn's Gl?ntalt—taken 1000 to 25 agst Mr. Gully's Tantivv —taken 1000 to 25 agst Lord Stradbroke's arpessa colt—taken 40 to 1 agst Mr. Bowes's Lunedale—taken 40 to 1 agst Sir R.

Shall it be declared that Ireland is not in a state ofdestitution ? Is the potato disease a matter ofno com parative consideration to her peasantry ? Can the prosperity of a few individuals, or even of an entire class of individuals, be any testimony that the popu lation: of a country is in a flourishing condition ? When, indeed, extensive tracts of land are lying in a state of temporary desolation, when multitudes of emaciated labourers are assembling almost daily on the hills and in the streets to adjure the superior members of the community to afford them some im mediate assistance, or to pillage from the unprotected tradesman and corn-factor, when men and women are dying by the wayside from an, incapacity to ob tain even the commonest and coarsest de scription of meal, we do conceive that any denial of the impoverishment of Ireland is nothing better than 4 flagitious and into lerable perversion of the truth. We do conceive that any endeavour to bring the earnestness of the sup plicants for relief into derision, or to abate in any manner the charitable ardour of those who are repon sible for the suffering million is a wilful misprision of justice and a grievous effort to temporise when there is an absolute necessity to act. Nothing can well be more lamentable than the division of parties in Ire land, a division which survives all the encroachments of starvation. While the• hearts of the wretched peasantry are sinking within them from the com bined influences of despair and inanition, the so-called chain Pims of national independence are vapouring over idle names and indulging in malignant vitu. peration. On the 3d of November the Young Ireland party assembled together in the Rotunda, at the extremity of Sackville-street, Dublin. Instead of attempting by any means whatever to diminish the general des titution, either by pecuniary aid, by timely recom mendations, or by a strenuous mediation with the authorities, the proceedings of the meeting were re stricted to the utterance of contemptible personalities, the delivery of panegyrics upon an individual whose most memorable achievement was to turn sulky in the House of Parliament, and to pass a most wordy resolution of an eulogistic character, having reference to a wild and almost incendiary publication. Only a few days previously to this exhi bition of self-sufficiency on the part of a political fac tion, a woman had dropped dead from famine upon the high-road of Ballycastle, in the county Mayo. During the inquest held upon the corpse of that wretched creature, evidence was given by a respect able witness that deceased, at the period of her death, was carrying about a pint of meal which some generous person had given her, and that she was, to all appearance, making her way as rapidly as her enfeebled limbs would enable her to the nearest dwelling•house to get it dressed. The verdict of the coroaer's jury was to the effect that " the death o f BRIDGET TOAUSH was hastened by the want of sufficient food for a length of time." Is it seemly that such assemblies of the physical-force men should be convened in the capital of Ireland, while the people of Ireland are perishing like that in the provinces ? The instance adduced is unhappily no solitary occur rence; others have already fallen victims to the dearth of provisions. It would be well, however, if the Young Ireland party would reflect more upon the necessities of the BRIDGET TOMISHES than upon the personal characteristics of the SMITH O'BRIENS, if they would strive to alleviate the miseries of the former instead of pandering to the egregious egotism of the latter. Other evidences of the continued wretchedness of the Irish people have been afforded. A mob, num bering upwards of four hundred souls, is described as having entered the town of Kinsale, for the pur pose of sacking its provision stores ; and the bakers, with the intention of preventing yet more calamitous proceedings, actually handed the bread into the streets themselves. Can anything be more significant of the poverty by which the peasantry are there oppressed ? Even where assistance has been nominally afforded to the destitute, circumstances have sometimes ab stracted from the advantage of the boon. The la bourers upon the public works at Kerry, for example, are spoken of by the local newspapers as having been engaged during nine or ten days in arduous toil, and have, nevertheless, received not one farthing of wages. It is such a circumstance as this which would, more effectually than anything else, tend to bring a Go vernment into discredit, and to remove from the po pular mind all confidence in the Executive. It must undoubtedly originate in some oversight in the su bordinate agents of the Board of 'Works, but it is one of those matters requiring instant and active interfer ence. If, indeed, this procrastination in the payment of wages be traceable to any individual culpability, we mean distinctly to assert that such culpability merits some summary and extraordinary punishment. Examples should be made wherever any personal de- linquency appears to threaten the effectual distribution of Government moneys. Without some such an ex ample we fear the peasantry will be subjected to yet greater privations. One man has already perished from a similar oversight : we would on no account hear of a repetition of this official manslaughter. A meeting of the independent electors of West Gloucestershire took place on the 3d instant, at the county town, to take their present political position into consideration. The meeting was convened by a circular, which was signed by twQlve gentlemen, and extensively distributed. It seems to have been pre viously determined that Earl FITZHARDINGE, the nine gentlemen who attended the meeting held in Gloucester on the 15th of last month, and their own representative, should be, one and all, precluded from being present at the intended deliberation ; but that all these parties should be apprised, by post, of the assembly in contemplation, to which they were au thorised to address written communications, if they thought proper. It also appears, from what fell from the chairman, Mr. JOSIAU HUNT (who, for the sake of impartiality, ought never to have been suffered to preside, seeing that he is charged by Mr. GRANTLEY F. BERKELEY with having "published a violent letter" against him), that a distinct understanding was come to that no gentleman on behalf of the press should attend ; but that, upon his own responsi bility, he had procured the attendance of a gentleman from Bristol to take notes for the assistance of the meeting afterwards, it it should be necessary, but with the distinct pledge that the notes should not be published, except it was the desire of the meeting. Anything more objectionable than the entirety of these arrangements we cannot well conceive. Nothing stamps the proceedings more unfavourably than the precautionary resolutions in relation to the press. It looks as if they dreaded some exposures affecting their electoral independence, which would not bear the light, and were, therefore, decided upon preserving the power of suppressing the publication of their conference if matters did not go off to their satisfaction, or, at any rate, of controlling and moulding any statements that might be submitted into a shape the least obnoxious to themselves. The public naturally regard any such arrangement as this with grave suspicion. Again, nothing shows more clearly the sheer stupidity, or gross ignorance of their duties, or truckling subserviency to the domi nation of wealth and rank, than the fact of these worthy electors having been at the pains to intimate to Earl FITZIIARDINGE that he could not join their counsels, though he might write to them. What was this but admitting that his Lordship had intermeddled with their political functions, and that their deliberations might be influenced by the views, or statement, which it might please a Peer of the realm to submit to their reflection ! Could any admission be more glaring or degrading, could conduct be more unconstitutional A fortnight ago we protested against the notion of any member of the Upper House foisting his influence, through the medium of his purse, upon a body of electors, appointed to return Members to the House of Com mons, as well as against the breach of political faith committed by those who submitted to receive such improper contributions. It may be that a consti• tuency is wholly immaculate, pure as the driven snow in their motives, and thoroughly inde pendent in their conduct ; but it will be quite impossible to persuade the public that they are possessed of these ennobling qualities so long as they suffer a Peer to defray their electoral expenses. But if anything were wanting to render manifest the extreme impropriety of the untoward influence which has overshadowed the electors of West Gloucestershire, it is supplied by the letter itself of Earl FITZHA.RDINGE, which was read at the meet ing in question. His Lordship boldly writes—. " I believe it is known to most or all of you, that ever since the contested election of 1832 for the western divi sion of this county, the entire expense of the registra tion of voters, and of defending their votes when objected to by the opposing party, bas fallen on myself alone. And lam not aware that the fact of my endeavouring t o secure for a man the mere right of voting for his represen tative in Parliament can necessarily entail on me a moral or political delinquency." We are quite at issue with the owner of Berkeley Castle. For the reasons we have now and previously urged, a moral and political delinquency, of a very serious nature, has been perpetrated. That Earl FITZ- ILIRDINGE has considered the drains upon his purse by the electors to have conferred the privilege of his dictating to the constituency just as be pleased is plainly deducible from the entire context of his letter. His Lordship complains that his brother made re peated demands for money, and threatened, uni.ess these were satisfied, to accept the Chiltern Hundreds. This, by the way, is a pretty strong demonstration of the servile state in which the brothers respectively considered the consti- uents to be in with reference to the Castle. Under the above circumstances his Lordship innocently remarks " what course, then, had Ito pursue ? The return of Mr. GRANTLEY BERKELEY to Parliament seemed to me not only inexpedient, but almost impossible. Yet what steps could I take ? It was not possible for me, in my own person, to convene a public meeting or to publish an Address on such ;subject, and I 'RIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 6, 1846. determined in the first instance to call together a few of the most influential gentlemen in the Liberal in terest." What business, indeed, was it of Earl FITZ HARDINGE'S at all, unless he considered, as he must hare done, that his brother was his mere puppet — and, notwithstanding what we have just quoted, his Lordship did virtually convene the meeting of the 15th September, and we must observe that the letter we are now discuss ing is as near to " publishing an address on such a subject" as can well be imagined. But the further this precious document proceeds the more unconsti tutional it waxes:— " I beg to state most u nequ i voca ll y, that if the party are of opinion tither that I have in the slightest degree injured or neglected their interest, or that such interest would better thrive without my interference, I trust they will explicitly say so, and I will interfere no further." Again, after expressing a desire that his old friends should be fairly represented, we find the following : " If that desirable end can be achieved without my assistance, I will do that which is the wish nearest to my heart—viz., to cease from all meddling or interference. But if I still possess the confidence of my former coadju tors, if they think me still worthy to take an honourable position in their councils and operations, and claim at my hands the assistance which I have heretofore given, I will not desert them, and they shall have it, even though it entail on me more gross and abusive personalities than I have (if possible) hitherto experienced." The hint is significant enough ;—" continue to do as you are bid, and I will continue to assist you with money." Further remark were needless. We should state that Mr. G. BERKELEY, having left London, did not get his circular, but was in Gloucester, and re quested to be admitted to the meeting, which was, however, refused. This was comical treatment. As their actual Member, desirous of explaining his conduct, he had a right to a fair hearing, though, upon constitutional grounds, the Earl clearly had not. Three ;resolutions were passed : the first, de claratory of their independence; the second, of their dissatisfaction with Mr. G. BERKELEY'S votes on the game and corn-laws; and the third appointed a com• mittee to secure a more correct representation of the county in future. We recommend the electors, when they next meet, to carry two resolutions —one, that they will receive no more pecuniary assistance from the dominant Earl ; the other, that no member of the BERKELEY family will be returned by them to Par liament. Until these resolutions be carried, the honour, integrity, and independence of West Glouces tershire will remain under a cloud. FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) A vigorous but necessary step has been taken, a severe but salutary example has been made. The cautions, the warnings that have been held out to the misguided peasantry, who attempted by violence and intimidation to overawe and interfere with the officers of the Board of Works, to dictate the manner of their own employment, and the mode and quantum of re muneration, having failed in their effect, and proved quite insufficient to restore peace, and bring the people to a sense of their duty and of their real in terest, more active measures became inevitable. No alternative remained for the Executive but to put down with the strong arm the system of insubordina tion and outrage that endangered the lives of the officers and overseers, and deterred the more peaceably disposed from labouring at the works provided for them. We have already pointed out the dangerous effects of yielding anything to violence, if it were once submitted to. A reign of terror would commence, illegal confede racies would be formed, and neither person or pro perty would be safe within the disturbed districts. Great mischief had been occasioned by the apparent success of the outbreak at Youghal, the first of what may be termed the food riots in Ireland; but there some excuse existed for the people—their peaceful and humble remonstrances were slighted, their pressing exigencies disregarded. Neglect and apathy prevailed amongst those whose especial duty it was to provide for the wants of the people, who had funds in their hands, and yet saw the people suffering the pangs of hunger, without any effort for their relief being made. The natural consequences followed such proceedings. The people were exasperated to the utmost degree. They took forcible pos session of the town, plundered the bread shops and provision stores, and, after a scene of the greatest turbulence and confusion, which continued for two entire days, they were rewarded by an unconditional submission. The works that should have been pre viously commenced were, at the eleventh hour, put into operation. The necessary relief was wrung from the fears of those who could not be acted on by mo tives of humanity. What, however, could then he done ? No means had previously existed by which the necessities of the poor could be supplied; and although the danger of the precedent was manifest, and it was morally cer tain that its success would lead to similar acts in I other districts, where no apology could be offered on behalf of the rioters, we could not disapprove of, or object to, the submission that was then made. Had a refusal of employment been persevered in, it would have involved the innocent in one common punishment with the guilty, and help less women and .noffensive children would have expi ated the misdeeds of their husbands and:fathers. The disturbance, too, was occasioned by a want of any means of subsistence or livelihood, and not by an objection to the manner in which that subsistence was to be earned and obtained. The event, however, rendered it doubly incumbent on the Executive to act with firmness and decision whenever any attempt should be made, by persons more favourably circum stanced, to disturb the public peace and tranquillity. In the barony of Upper Tulla, county of Clare, the promptest relief had been administered. Large presentments had been passed at the extraordinary sessions, and an expenditure of more than 200,0001. had already been sanctioned and approved of by the Board of Works. Operations were commenced and proceeded with, and it might well have been hoped that the present employment and the prospect of con tinued support during the winter, would have secured language, man, ready dya and a it the thanks and gratitude of the lab our i ng population, and that all disturbance would be averted from the o locality. The hope, however, wa s va i n; the system of taskw i ork, by which a which the fair day's work fo industrious wages, could earn larger wages th an usual, was objected to by the idle and dissol u t e ; t h ey obstructed the was thatth e the most efthrse a fairacting day's for their benefit, and honestly discharging the duty they owed to the public, would be seriously perilled. Those disposed to work were compelled also to join the disaffected, and nothing remained for the Execu tive but to suspend the works until the people should be restored to their senses. This course Lord BES^ BOROUGH has adopted. His address to the inhabi tants of the barony will be perused with much in terest, and cordially acquiesced in by every unpre judiced and well-disposed person. In this instance the people must emancipate themselves from the con trol of their turbulent leaders; they must offer an immediate and unconditional submission, and a full assurance that if their past errors be forgiven, and pardon awarded, they will for the future pursue a different line of conduct, submit to the regulations imposed on them, and render in all things a ready obedience. Should this be the case, it needs not the promise given at the conclusion of the letter to satisfy us that his Excellency would gladly direct the imme diate resumption of the works, and preserve the people from the destitution and ruin which a perse verance in turbulence and outrage must inevitably produce. The Augsburgh Gaz3tte publishes a letter from Turin, dated the 26th of October, which contains the following passage I have the honour to inform you that the marriage contract between his Royal Highness the Duke de Bor deaux and Princess Theresa of Modena was signed a few days ago. Their marriage will be solemnized on the 30th of this month." A letter from Berlin, dated the 26th of October, says— "On Sunday morning the Abt6 Ronge received orders to return to Breslau immediately, and two gens darmes were sent to conduct him to the railway station." The Nuremberg Correspondent announces the dis covery of a new plot in Austrian G allicia. The same paper confirms the report that nuisia had joined England in its expression of disapprobation of the conduct of the French Government in relation to the Montpensier marriage. An announcement that the railroad from Berlin to 114mbUrgh will be opened throu4hetit the whole j length on the 15th December, appears in the Frank fort Gazette des Pastes. Madrid papers of the 30th ult. have been received The Minister of the Interior read on that day to both Chambers of the Cortes a decree closing the session, and the decree announcing the dissolution of the Chambers was expected to appear on the follow ing day. Rumours of an impending change in the Ministry were rife in Madrid. It is evident that there is much intriguing going forward to bring about this change, and that Senor MoN is mixed up in the in trigue, but whether it will end in his victory or dis comfiture it is impossible to conjecture; for while one leport states that he is in disgrace with the Court, and will be at once dismissed, another declares that Senor ISTURITZ will go to the wall, and Senor Mori be pro moted to the Presidency of the Council. The Gaceta publishes a circular letter from the Minister of Justice to the Presidents of the Tri bunals, declaring that it is the QUEEN'S intention that the amnesty, decreed on October 17, should extend to all political offenders, whether in prison or not, or whether under prosecution or sentence; that all per sons accused of offences against the laws of the press, whether condemned or not, by the tribunals created by the decree of the 6th of July, 1845, shall be dis charged, and that the said tribunals shall be dissolved ; that all persons comprised within the amnesty shall be, if in custody, at once set at liberty, without pay ment of any fees or other charges; that the amnesty shall be applied ex officio, and without requiring any application from the parties interested ; and, lastly, that lists of all persons comprised in the amnesty shall be sent by the tribunals to the Minister of Justice. The Heraldo notices a rumour current in Madrid of a serious outbreak at Malaga, for the purpose of contradicting it.

We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday, the political articles of which are almost destitute of interest. For want of some more exciting subject the Oppo sition papers comment on a bit of gossip relating to the English Consul at Bayonne, which appeared in the Constitutionnel of the preceding day. The fol lowing is the story, as related by the Constitutionnel : On the day of the entry of the Duke and Duchess of MONTPENSIER into Bayonne the Consuls of the different nations hoisted their flags, as is customary on occasions of public rejoicing. There was, how ever, one exception —the Consul of England. The Sous-Prefet of Bayonne called the attention of the British Consul to this subject, and the Consul replied, "That he was acting in accordance with the instruc tions received from his Government, and that he could not receive suggestions from the civil authorities." The next day, on the occasion of the regatta, the Sous-Prefet had so arranged matters in conducting the embarkations of the dif ferent nations as that• the English flag should be nearest the shore, that is, that it should be placed the last, which would have been considered as an insult, and it is said that the Consul demanded his passport to leave Bayonne. Such is the story told by the Constitutionnel. It adds, however, that none of the Bayonne journals mention the circumstance. The Commerce, while speaking in severe terms of the rude and intolerant conduct of the English Consul, in refusing to comply with ordinary usage in a matter of mere ceremony, reprehends the conduct of the Sous-Prefet of Bayonne in the following energetic manner :—" If the conduct of the English Consul," adds the Commerce, " was offensive and reprehen sible, the laws of diplomacy offered sufficient modes of obtaining a reparation such as the most justly sus ceptible national honour would have been satisfied with ; but to change the punishment merited by a Consul into a kind of insult, addressed to the flag of an entire country, is one of those faults which no zeal, not even the desire of paying court to a Prince, can excuse." The Courrier Francais, observing upon the affair as having really occurred, does not seem to think that the proceeding of the Sous-Prefet, censured by the Commerce, was improper. It says it is assured that the French Charge d'Affaires in London has been instructed to demand the recal of the English Consul at Bayonne, and is angry that a more ener getic mode has not been adopted, namely, the with - drawal by the French Government of his exequatur. The Duke and Duchess of MONTPENSIER were expected to arrive in Paris on Wednesday evening. No rejoicings were to take place on the occasion. The King and Queen of the BELGIANS left Paris on Tuesday. The fact of King LEOPOLD having quitted Paris the day before the arrival of the Duke and Duchess of MONTPENSIER gave rise to many speculations in the political circles of Paris. It was confidently reported, that the King of the BELGIANS did not approve of the conduct of Lours PHILIPPE, in the Montpensier affair; or, at all events, that he did not wish to take any active part in it. It was also rumoured, that LOUIS PHILLIPPE had requested King LEOPOLD to use his endeavours to bring about a revival of the entente cordiale with England. The Moniteur publishes a royal ordonnance, con ferring forty-one crosses of the Legion of Honour on the officers, soldiers, and seamen who were wounded at Otaheite, " in the five encounters that took place with the natives, between the 19th March and the 30th of May last." The Courrier Francais states that the Prince DE JOINVILLE will be promoted to the rank of Admiral of France, which is equal to that of Field-Marshal. There can be but two Admirals of France in time of peace, and the vacancy which is to be filled up by the Prince DE JOINVILLE is occasioned by the death of Admiral DUPERRE. The Prince appears to be inde fatigable in his efforts to improve the navy of France. The Presse says— " A report, addressed by the Prince de Joinvill e to the Minister of Marine, at present excites much attention in naval circles. This document, worthy of the author of the ' Note on the Maritime Forces of France,' treats, it is said, of the establishment and arming of large vessels. The young Admiral demands that a reform be estab lished in the vessels called 100 gun ships, when in reality they have only 74, and that this measure be adopted the e smt u r it will be necessary to do ti promptly, inas much this kind, which ttsNs'e have on the stocks con away with afterwards. The report in question has been submitted to the Council of the Admiralty, which named a commission to examine it, and the conclusions of this body are in its favour." The squadron of the Antilles, under the command of Rear-Admiral LA PLACE, was at the Havannah on the 23d of September.

THE APPROACHING BANQUET AT GUILDITAEL,-.. Last evening, an experimental light of the gas chande lier., &c , as arranged for the Lord Mayor's banquet, took place in the Guildhall, in the presence of about 1,000 t..pectators. The whole of the decorations of the llall are complete, and consist of groups of flags, ban ners, armour, &c. At the east end are shields, con taining the arms of all nations ; above are the words " God save the Queen," illuminated, and surrounded by groups of flags, &c. At the west end is a brilliantly illuminated revolving strar. From the centre of the ceiling is suspended a chandelier, and towards the east and west ends aro suspended two magnificent chan deliers, which have not been used since her Majesty's first State visit to the City, in 1837 ; they are in the form of plateaus, from a circular diameter about twelve feet, material glass, with beautifully foliated gilt borders, from which spring innumerable gas jets. The convex surface, which is towards the floor, exhibits a noble unique design in white and coloured glass, the centre of each contains her Majesty's arms, from which springs a brilliant radiated, crystallised, prismatic star, between the points of which are twelve compartments, in each of six are the italic letters V. R., beautifully intertwined ; in each of the other six is a crown, with a grouped rose, thistle, and shamrock. The whole, when lighted by gas, under the direction of Mr, Wade, had a magnificently brilliant effect, ONE CLOSING PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. PRICES. Bank Stock 3 per Cent.

There was a dull and flat market for Cotton at Liver pool yesterday, and prices were id. to fri. per lb. lower than last week for American. Sales 3,000 ; all to the trade.—Shares were again firm. There seems no longer a doubt as to the intention, if not the actual determination, of the Zollverein Con ference to raise the duties upon several articles, but especially cotton yarn. After a long period of distress, and probably much mismanagement in the conducting of affairs in the West Indies, it is satisfactory to find that capitalists are turning their attention to this fruitful source for the employment of capital. Nobody can doubt but that with energy the produce of the soil in those dis tant parts may become much more productive than has hitherto been the case ; and in order to give every advantage which engineering skill affords, a Company was formed some months since, and is now sanctioned by the Legislature of British Guiana, for laying down a line of railway in Demerara. The names which appear upon the provisional committee give very good earnest that it is intended promptly to carry out this useful measure. For further details we may refer our readers to what has appeared in the advertising de partment of The Sun. It we were desirous of multiplying proofs in regard to the certainty of cur obtaining ample supplies of food, we could occupy from day to day successive columns of The Sun with the information daily transmitted to us from the most disinterested sources. Messrs. Wilkinson and Jewesbury, however, raise in their report for the present month a question as to the effect of the imports upon the bullion of the Bank of England, which we consider has not been diminished so much by imports of provisions, as by the demand for money in the provinces, where railway works are most actively prosecuted. The following are one or two ex tracts bearing upon the food question:--" It appears by the London Gazette, that since the beginning of September, the quantiy of wheat sold at country markets exceeds by 22 per cent. that of last year during the same period, which, with about 4,500,000 quarters of foreign (including, flour and meal), brought into the market for consumption since Ist July, shows that the supply in the granaries throughout the kingdom must be very large; and this, with from four to five million quarters expected from America and Europe, where the crops have been abun dant, excepting in France, the Netherlands, and the south-western parts of Germany, including a part of Prussia, will derange our money sys tem, by draining the Bank of England of several millions of bullion and coin ; indeed, 1,427,7151. have left the Bank in the last eight weeks, and we look for its going at much about the same rate during the next nine months, from the number of ships already chartered for corn to various parts of the world. " By the last letters from New York we learn that the superabundance of wheat, barley, and maize is be yond their requirements to the amount of twelve million quarters ; but' that the cotton crop will be little more than one half of last year's quan tity ; it is variously estimated from 1,200,000 to 1,900,000 bales; should the frost set in early the f o r mer would most likly be the result ; on the contrary, the latter number of bales might be near the amount. It is expected, however, that about 150,000 tons of shipping will be thus released, and find employment in the flour, corn, and provision trade. There is a marked improve ment in the demand for dry goods, which we hope and believe will materially benefit the manufacturing districts in this country." There is still an improving market for the Public Securities, and- Consols have touched 948 a for Money, and 944 1 for Time. Exchequer-bills have been at lls. to 131. prem., being fuller quotations likewise. Bank Stock is worth 2044- to 205. The New Three -and-a- Quarter per Cents. are 958 to 953. Money is easy in the Stock Exchange, and there is a better feeling generally. The Foreign Investments:are for the most part still very quiet. Spanish Three per Cents. bring 261 3-, and the Five per Cents., 373 8. Brazil New Bonds are 84. The suspension of the agency for the Republic of Mexico, although the conversion is to be pro ceeded with, has not had any particular effect upon the value of the Bonds, which are marked 213 to 2214.
