It is gratifying to observe that additional proofs of his capacity have recently been afforded b y th e Noble Earl at the head of the present Government. Unfortunately, however, these evidences of superior judgment have referred less to the skill required in the labours of administration, than to the discernment imperatively requisite in the distribution of the more coveted badges of honour, and of those offices which are the most peculiarly characterised by the mingled attributes of power and responsibility. Further than this the testimonies to which we are here alluding could scarcely go, prior to the long and anxiously expected revelation of the Ministerial policy on the assemblage of the newly-elected Parliament. Until en the nation cannot look to the DEBar Cabinet for the exercise of the more delicate and difficult fuw tions devolving upon the rulers of England, in obedience to the complex working of the exquisitely balanced machinery of her Constitution. Until the views of that Cabinet have been deliberately and minutely explained the people of the United King doms cannot reasonably anticipate the commencement of those endeavours at legislative improvement which can alone tend to consolidate the fabric of an Adminis tration. All that can be required by the community, be fore then, front the Earl of DEBBY and his colleagues, is the judicious regulation of those duties which con duce to the ordinary, or, as them, the eleme n t ar y we may correctly term o perations of government. Those duties, w e mean , of conserving the public peace without interruption , o f securin g the inviolabilit y of the laws, an d of so conducting the intercourse of the State with foreign powers as to assure the mainte nance of international tranquillity. Forinasmuch as the e xisting Ministry have acted in these respects cre ditably to themselves and satisfactorily to the po pulation, they have dissipated many of the fears en tertained in their regard by the conscientious and un prejudiced members of the Opposition. The country is, in this manner, prepared to await the disclosure of the ultimate intentions of the Cabinet in a mood somewhat more encouraging than could have been anticipated in February by even the most sanguine among the many hopeful supporters of the Administration. Meanwhile, in ad dition to the last mentioned of the Ministerial claims upon the popular consideration, there are, as before intimated, those recent and, as it were, sup plementary tokens of the capacity of the PRIME 21.1 I.• NISTER ) which are discernible in his very skilful se lection in one quarter of the individuals best entitled to some honourable evidence of distinction, and in another of those most happily suited to some onerous and elevated appointment. Everybody—under the very peculiar circumstances of the case—has united in hailing with satisfaction the nomination of Viscount HAEDIiiGE as the imme diate successor at the Horse Guards of his Grace the llte Duke of 'WELLINGTON. Mere considerations of precedence have, for the time being, we cannot but think wisely, been forgotten. It seems to have been admitted at'once that „the principal organizer of the Militia Bill would be conveniently welcomed at the present juncture as Commander-in-Chief — while his previous elevation to the rank of Master-General of the Ordnance appeared to have prepared the way for his probable, if not inevitable, promotion. Scarcely less unanimous have been the opinions expressed by all parties in reference to the other steps taken by Lord DERBY for the filling up of important vacancies—vacancies for the most part consequent upon the lamented death of the hero whose remains the nation is about to honour ia a signal manner by the performance of solemn obsequies at the public expense under the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral. Simultaneously with the selection of worthy suc cessors to the appointments which we have above implied, and which it would have been altogether needless to have enumerated, the responsibility of awarding two Garters lately devolved upon the First Lord of the Treasury—the one vacant by the death of the Duke of HAMILTON, the other by the death of the Duke of WELLINGTON. It may now beremarked that in these particulars, as in the others already specified, the Earl of DERBY has acquitted himself as becomes the leader of the British Government. Already by his promptitude the PREMIER has rendered the requisite number complete by awarding to two of the most distinguished members of our nobility the dignity of admission to the most illustrious order of knighthood in all Christendom. Again, there are the requisite twenty-four names enrolled under that of the SOVEREIGN as upon the occasion of its first insti tution in 1348—upwards of five hundred years ago— when the gallant and chivalric Court of the Third EDWARD was first dazzled by the embroidered splendours of the cloak, and the tunic, and the su pertionic hood, and the two jupons, all powdered with garters—when tha varying motto of the order was now— " It. is. as. it. is." worked on the border of the KING'S doublet at his plays on the feast of the Epiphany; and now again— " Hay, hay, the wy the swan, By Grcle3 scee I am thy msa," emblazoned on the royal shield when his MAJESTY proceeded in state to the City of Oxford ; end yet at another time, upon EDWARD'S return from the conti nent, that quaint old inscription " Hony soit q. mel y pense," which hes for five centuries glittered in diamonds on the bosom of the English Sovereign. The garter rendered vacant by the demise of the Duke of HAMILTON it may now be remarked has teen judiciously conferred upon the First Lord of the Admiralty—eminent services to the conutty, nu ancient name, enormous possessions and very consi derable influence both professional and roieistelial, having pointed out es a fittin g recipient of that high honour his Grace the Duke of NowraustnEnnaND. Perhaps yet more commendable, certainly still more appropriate, is the selection of the other recipient of the Garter the recipient of ' the Garter placed at the disposal of the Crown by the irreparable loss sustained by the country in the death of the late illustrious Duke of WELLINGTON. To this extraordinary and two-fold privilege—the privilege of wearing the Garter, and that Garter the one rendered vacant by the demise of the greatest soldier of England—has been chose,.) a Peer whose services both is the camp and in council seem to have at once pointed him out:as tue fittest successor to the collar and the star decorating during so many years the bosom of the conqueror of the Iberian Peninsula. It was only what might have been expected by those familiar with the history of the last European war—that her MAJESTY should now, through the First Minister of her Crown, be graciously pleased to confer these eminent badges of knighthood upon no other personage than the veteran Marquis of LONDONDERRY. It cannot be readily forgotten in England that to the brother of Lord LONDONDERRY was in no small measure attributable the glory of those memorable victories which gained so much influence over Europe to this empire, and so much renown to the career of the Duke of WELLINGTON—for it must be re membered that it was Viscount CASTLEREAGH who placed Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY (in opposition to the expressed wishes King G EORGE IIL) at the of head of our forces in the kingdoms of Spain and Por tugal. It was to this judiciou s se l ect i on of Lord CASTLEREAGH, therefore, that the subsequent triumph of the arms of Great Britain must be directly trace able—and it appears consequently but reasona b le that now, in 1852, upon the death in his o ld age o f ARTHUR WELLESLEY, the Great Duke of Welling ton, the brother of thp Pais? Itkeinerien who first 2411,rc10d that r enow ned Captain the opportu n it y o f directing the destinies of the continent should be chOien to succeed to the vacant Garter —among the most cherished prizes won by his keen sword, the guerdon of his redoubtable achievements. Added to these remarkable claims of relationship, the Marquis of LONDONDERRY possesses others of a more personal character, namely, those of his own distinguished ser vices as a Gen era l officer in the armies of G rea t Britain. What those services are the world has long since learnt through the records of its military historian. Se lected by Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY to accompany him on his appointment to the command of the English forces in Portugal, the brother of Lord CASTLEREAGH the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, but then simply s c o s seees STEWART—never left the side of the future D u k e of K ELLINGTON throughout the long and stormydays when our troops were fighting in the Peninsula against some of the most ce l e b rated Marshals of NAPOLEON—against SOULT, w h o h a d carried the imp ?rial cr own on t h e day of coronatio n , and against MAssENA, called by the E MPEROR him self the Sp o ilt Child of Victory. Glancing over t h e luminous a nna l s penne d by Sir WILLI AM N APIER, the name of Sir CHARLES STEWART occurs frequently enough to show that he took part not only in almost every battle, but i t , a lmost every skirmish that illustrated that protracted and momen tous struggle for predominance in the Peninsu:.:. Several times wounded, he repeatedly gave e_- dence of his daring as a soldier, as he afterwards e.; of his skill as a diplomatist. At the battle of A:. buera, Sir CHARLES STEWART commanded the second British division in the centre, at the point where the principal attack was anticipated, an d at the head of the leading brigade when the French hussars and the Polish lancers broke suddenly with a terr ibl e c harge upon the rear, while the regiments were in the act of deploying. Previously—at the battle of Fuentes d'On9re—while gallantly leading the Allied cavalry against the enemy, General CHARLES STEWART took prisoner in the melee, with his own band, LAMOTTE, the Colonel of one of the French regiments. His ability in conducting nego tiations of very considerable importance was no less conspicuously displayed than his gal lantry in actual conflict. It is not forgotten by any of the historians of those stirring times, that it was Sir CHARLES STEWART Who, in the April of 1813, on being sent to the north of Germany by the British Government for the purpose of accelerating the conclusion of a regular treaty between Prussia and Great Britain, induced the Berlin Cabinet to consent to the terms of the coalition. It was Sir CHARLES STEWART, moreover, who with Pozzo DI Boßao contrived in the same year, by what one annalist has termed their "able and courteous efforts," to overcome the formidable vacillation of the Crown Prince of Sweden—BERNADOTTE. It was Sir CHARLES STEWART who, with four other diplomatists of sufficient celebrity—with HARDENBERG, ABER DEEN, D'ANSTETT, and METTERNlCH—accomplished the almost bewildering task of reconciling the con flicting jealousies and opposing interests which continued for a long while rife at the Allied head-quarters. Speaking of the deter mination and skill with which Sir CHARLES STEWART and Pozzo DI BORGO combatted the evils resulting from the changeable temperament of BER.. NADOTTE, Sir ARCHIBALD ALIsoN observes that " for tunately for the allies their interests were at this juncture supported at the head-quarters of the Prince Royal of Sweden by men whose discernment showed them where the decisive point lay, and whose moral courage rendered them equal to the task of enforcing it upon the commander." Happily for the British Envoy he was empowered at this period to speak with more that accustomed authority—directing as he did the disbursements of the British subsidies. Happily for England he was capable of employing that au thority with more than ordinary vigour, and as was shown by the event, with more than usual efficiency. In testimony of the resolution and adroitness of the course pursued at this momentous crisis by Sir CHARLES STEWART, it is only necessary to refer to the written remonstrances addressed by him to the Crown Prince of SWEDEN—those remon strances "penned with respect but military frank ness, and breathing a warm but not undeserved spirit of patriotic; indignation," which Sir ARCHIBALD ALISON has declared " remain enduring monuments both of the tortuous policy of BERNADOTTE at that period, and of the clear military discernment and un flinching moral courage of the Marquis of LONDON.. DERRY." Additional testimonies of a similar de scription might readily be adduced from the pages of history—but it is surely enough to call that one other to the popular remembrance by which Sir CHARLES STEWART, in preventing a capitulation being granted to DAVOUST and the garrison of Hamburgb, secured the Allies from the perils that must inevitably bare resulted—perils which the annalist of Europe asserts " might have entirely changed the fate of the war next spring in France"—from the restoration 'of twenty-five thousand veteran troops to the standards g of NAPOLE ON 1 It is by a graceful and appropriate selection, therefore, which the people of England cannot fail to appreciate, that the brother of Viscount CASTLBREA.GH—the brother of the Prime Minister who placed Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY at the head of the British forces in Portugal—has been named to the vacant Garter immediately upon the death of the Duke of WELLINGTON. Bearing in recollection the achievements of that great commander, and the very admirable manner in which those achievements were seconded by the prowess and the abilities of Sir CHARLES STEWART, we rest assured that the country will receive with satisfaction the announcement that the high badges of the first order of knighthood have been thus conferred by the SOVEREIGN upon the veteran Marquis of LONDONDERRY. On Thursday afternoon, at the launch of an Aus tralian emigration ship, at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, some remarks were made by Mr. W. S. LINDSAY, M.P., the great shipowner, in which be certainly struck the key-note of practical reform. After glancing at certain mercantile matters to which the Government should attend—such as the system of Consulate abroad, the Trinity-house, and the Dover and Ramsgate dues—Mr. LINDSAY added, " And now that the great Ganerrl who held the office of Warden of the Cinque Ports had gone to his rest, he could not help expressing his surprise that Lord DERBY, the First Minister of the Crown, who had always said that he felt for the shipowners, and de sired to see their burthens removed, should have stepped into one of these burthens himself, and ap - pointed himself to this sinecure of 3,0001. a year, the revenue for the maintenance of which was drawn from the pockets of the shipowners of England. It would have better become him, consi dering the professions he had made, if, instead of ac- cepting that office, he had abolished i►." Of all men in England, the Earl of DERBY is one of the last who is fairly open to a charge of money loving. Of that everybody will acquit him. But it seems to us that, if he has taken to himself the War denship of the Cinque Ports (and as yet there is no official announcement to that effect), he has acted without due consideration. The time has arrived when sinecures should be done away with. True it is that this Cinque Porta'Wardenship has been a sort of political heir-loom attached to the Premier ship from a period " beyond the memory of the oldest inhabitant." It became vacant during Mr. PITT'S Government, and Mr. PITT gave it to himself. So it was taken by others ; so by Lord LIVERPOOL; SO by the Duke of WELLINGTON. But, in these times of reform, when retrenchment is so loudly called for, we think the Minister should pause ere, by following the practise of his predecessor, he perpetuate, in his own person, a sinecure of such ex tent. We think, however, that Mr. LINDSAY appears to have rashly assumed that there was truth in the rumour of the Wardenship being taken, in succes sion, by Lord DERBY. That is as yet only a report. The actual salary of the office is not more than 4001. a-year, with Walmer Castle as a residence, and we think it very probable that if the PREMIER take the appointment, he will not accept the fees, &c., which increase the income to between three and four thousand a year, " out of the pockets," as Mr. LINDSAY says, "of the shipowners of England." There is no reason whatever why the Wardenship, moderately remunerated, should not be taken by the Earl of DERBY. There are responsible duties attached to the office, which must be performed by somebody, and the high rank and undoubted ability of Lord DERBY certainly should not be disqualifications. Moreover, we venture to predict—from the Noble Earl's known liberality— that his occasional occupancy of Walmer Castle would very materially benefit Dover and other places in its vicinity, for his expenditure there during any one month would much exceed his whole annual salary from the appointment, and he would do good service to the State, by practical example, if he accepted the mere salary, relinquishing the additions from fees, &c. " Nothing to do, and well-paid for doing it," is the well-known definition of a sinecure. The time i s fast approaching, we trust, when, as every do nothing and receive-much office becomes vacant, it will be left vacant. It is not by twopenny retrench ments in the salaries of clerks that public economy is he actual work ar e , f or the most part, to be carried into practice. On the co n t rary, t h e people who do t very inadequately paid. The great s i necures are the nuisances. For example, there is the hereditary sinecure which the Dukes of GRAFTON have enjoyed since the titre of CHARLES IL There then was a woman, called BARBARA Armaarts, one of his " Most Sacred Majesty's" fair favourites, who finally was raised to the Peerage o f E ng l an d, b y t h e ti t l e o f Duchess of CLETELAND. One of her children, of which she said King CHARLES was the father, was created Duke of GRAFTON, and, to support the dignity of this " illus trious" illegitimate, a Royal grant was made, giving to him and to his descendants for ever the annual sum of £7,191 125., out of the Excise, and £3,407 10°, out of the revenue of the Post-office, making a total of £10,599 2s. per annum. These grants were made more than a hundred a n d seventy years ago, and (as we have I shown on previous occasions), if all the public money thus received by the Dukes of GRAFTON had been put out at accumulating interest, the sum total would now I have exceeded Twelve Hundred Millions Sterling or more than one and a half the National Debt. Pretty pickings these ! Why, from the time of CHARLES 11. until to .day, every drop of beer which has been brewed has paid its proportion of taxation to the income of the Ducal house of GRAFTON! Were the excise duties to be abolished to-morrow (as they soon must be), we should have the Duke of ,GRAFTON coming forward and claiming compensation for the perpetual charge, which King CHARLES made on the public in favour of his family. This is only a solitary instance. Unfortunately, further examples might readily be given. We shall return to the subject; meanwhile, we are confident that Lord DERBY'S own sense of propriety will in duce him to take the Wardenship of the Cinque Ports under such restrictions as will render its emo luments within suitable limits—as will render it ra ther an honorary than a merely lucrative post. It has been the custom for the Prime Minister to take the situation when vacant, and there appears no rea son why, if the office is to be continued (and certain duties are attached to it), the Earl of DERBY should be led, by any false delicacy, from following the practice of his predecessors, and himself becoming Warden, particularly when he can, at the same time, reduce the income to suitable limits. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The telegraphic intelligence announces the arrival of the PRINCE PRESIDENT at Aix on the 29th. His pre sence at the ball given by the town was hailei with enthusiasm, and with cries of " Vive l'Empereur !" On the 30th he arrived at Nismes at two o'clock, amid universal cries of " Vivo l'Empereur l" and " Vive Napoleon III." The PRINCE PRESIDENT, on hearing of the disasters caused by the overflowing of the Rhine, sent 10,000 f. to the Minister of the Interior, to be divided among the sufferers by the inundation. Addresses of congratulation to Prince Louis NA POLEON, on the late d!3covery of the Marseilles plot, have been voted by a great numb9r of towns through out the country. Amongst them are Toulon, Tou louse, Marseilles, Limoges, Grasse, &c. The PRINCE PRESIDENT, before leaving Avignon, presented Mine. RAMOLINO, Mine. RABIEL, and Mme. COSTA DE BASTEL/CA, sisters and sister-in-law of the Prefect of the Vauclause, with different costly ar ticles of jewellery. The Courrier de Marseille has the following:— " We must here point out an incident which shows the deep respect of Lours NAPOLEON for religion. The first stone hiving been laid in the cathedral here, he felt some scruple, at the moment he was about to speak to raise his voice in a temple devoted to prayer, where the ministers at the altar have alone the right to publicly address the people. Our worthy prelate soon removed this excessive delicacy, and the PRINCE then uttered tha speech which has been published. This fact does too much honour to the religious feelings of the PRESIDENT for us to pass it over in silence." While he was at Marseilles the PRINCE admitted to an audiences deputation of the Dames de la Halle. One of them, in delivering her compliment in the language in use among her class, expressed a desire to soon see Low NAPOLEON "Emperor and King of France and Nalarre." On the occasion of the 6th regiment of Light In fantry removing from the quarters they have recently occupied in Pais, to go into the forts of Rosny and Nogent, the afters of the 43d regiment invited their comrades of that regiment and of the others of the Ist brigade of the 3d division of the army of Paris to meet them, and drink some bowls of punch. The bust of the Panics PRESIDENT, surrounded with flowers, was pieced in the room in which they assem bled. General LEVASSEUR, commanding the division, was present, anc gave the health of the PRINCE, which was drunk will enthusiasm, amidst loud cries of " Vive Napoleon " Vive l'Empereur l" Other toasts were aftewards given, and the evening prised off in the great Est conviviality. M. MOREL FATIO, the marine-paintar, who arrived at Toulon in the Rine Hortense at the same time as the PRESIDENT, has been ordered to paint a picture representing tie arrival of the Prince in the Napo leon, convoyed ly the whole fleet. M. Joußpays, one of the Editors of the Siecle, and M. SOUGERR, responsible editor of that journal, were' on Thursday seterally sentenced by the Tribunal of Correctional Police to a year's imprisonment, snd I,ooofr. fine, for baring written and published on the 11th August las', en article, entitled " Two sorts of Debtors," whict contained the offences of exciting to hatred and contempt of the Government of the Re public, and of the publication of false news calculated to disturb public peace. In the night of the 20th ult., M. CHARCONNAC, a pupil at the Olitierb'citory at Aim:eines, discovered a new planet in the constellation of Pisces ; at mid *night its right ascension wra 2 deg. 48 min., and its northern declination 1 deg. 46 Fin. On the 21st, at 10 hours 40 minutes, its right ascension was 2 deg. 36 min , and its declination 1 deg. 42 min. It ap- F eared like a Etar of the ninth magnitude. The director of the Observatory has proposed to call it Messina, and to designate it by the symbol (20), characteristic of the renk of his aiscovery.

We read in the Journ2l de Frankfort:—" I n con sequence of an arrangement concluded b e t ween Austria and the States of the Ch urc h, th e f ormer i s to receive an indemnity of 500,000 florins for the occupation of some of the legations by the Imperial troops." The Universal German Gazette states that Saxony, the Grand Duchy of Hesse, and the Duchy of Nas sau, have ratified the reply of Munich. The ratifi cations of the other powers were expected to arrive without delay, that of Badeu being however doubtful. The King of Pausae returned on the 27th ult. to Sans-Souci, from his visit to Oldenburg. M. DE MANTEUFFEL, the President of the Council, waited on his MAJESTY and transacted business with him. The KING afterwards left for Muskau, accompanied by the Prince of PRUSSIA. In that place his MAJESTY WB9 to have an interview with the Prince Royal of HOLLAND ; and the Prince of PRUSSIA was after wards to go to Weimar. The provincial States of Pomerania in Prussia, in their last sitting, agreed to an address to the KING expressing their satisfaction at his firm policy in the Customs' question, and at his categorical declaration to the allies of the 7th ult. His MAJESTY, the cd dress added, has thereby restored the dignity of the Crown, and protected the interests of the country. The Provincial States of Eastern Prussia adopted in their recent sitting an address to the KING, praying that the import duty on raw iron should be abolished, and that on bar iron reduced to one-third. A letter from Vienna of the 25th ult., in a Berlin journal, says :—"lt is said that Field-Marshal RA DETZKI intends to retire rem active service to his villa at Kaybach. The death of the Duke of WEL'. LINGTON, has, it is added, profoundly affected him. The subscription opened for tne construction of a fri • gate to bear RADETZICI'S name, does not advance ; and it said that the committee invmds to make over to the Government the sums already received, that it may employ them in building a monument ;n honour of this distinguished soldier." Ailetbr from Vienna states that on the 18th ult. Ge neral DE L'ETANG and Colonel CALMER, who had been sent by the French Government to ba present at the military manoeuvres directed by the EDIPEROR in person, were entertained at dinner by Count DE BUOL. These two officers, the letter states, have met with most friendly receptions at Vienna. The Weimar Gazette states that M. LEIDENDOEFF, a rich German, who died lat-ly at Paris, has founded a perpetual annuity of 1,500 f. in favour of the male descendants in direct line of the celebrated poet SCHILLER, who died at Weimar in 1805. A letter from Munich, 25th ult., gives the fol lowing account of the progress of the public buildings ordered by the late KING The triumphal arch of the Rue St. Louis is finished, and workmen are now raising to their places the four lions in bronze, are the only hew a p t a n k a e tu th r e e q o u f e th (p o i s e e tu of re S g : which, not w ith s t an di ng t h e i r colossal proportions, Ve e r yT)H ERES , E. o r A k s t are rapidly advancing, and the painting, both within and without, has been commenced. All the stones intended for the construction of the Propylee are prepared, and the sculptures on the front of that monument are in the course of execution. The Temple of Glory, at Kelheim, has been erected. The escutcheons which are to decorate the four façades have been already cast, and there only remain some few external decorations to he finished, and some few statues to be placed in their niches in the inside. In the Throne-room of the Royal Palace, M. HITTEN.• BERGER is engaged in painting in fresco the subjects of the Odyssey, of which SCIIWALITHALER composed the cartoons. The present Kuso,on his part, has had a new street opened from the palace to the Rue St. Louis. The houses on either side of this street will 'be separated one from the other by gardens. It will form a right angle with the river Isar." ITALY. The Royal Court of Florence, in its sitting of the 24th ult., gave its decision on the late application of the counsel for the defence in the case of GUERAZZI and others. The decision was so far favourable that it admitted the reading of the documents proposed by the defence, but only after the examination of the prisoners. The public prosecutor a - `erwards read an official note on the life and political acts of GUER RAZZI, previous to the events of ] 848. GUERRAZZI being then called upon to give explanations on the contents of the said note, did so, answering negatively to each of the allegations of the public prosecutor. It was remarked on this occasion that the Court list ened to GUERAZZI without interrupting him, although he often entered into matters not immediately con nected with the question. This courtesy bee had a favourable effect upon public opinion.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estil mated at from 12,000 to 15,000 bales, of which one-half was taken for export and on speculation. The markes was not quite so active, but closed. firmly...... Railway• Shares slightly improved. There were some changes in the position of the Bank of England during the week to the 25th ultimo tbsg might not, perhaps, have been anticipated. The amount of the discounts and loene was greatly augmented, so far confirming the assertion that money is somewhat more' in demand. The Government account rises steadily s the quarter advances. The Bullion, owing to the largo exports recently, shows a slight decrease, but this week's imports will turn the balance very materially, we ex-• pea. Compared with the previous week, the ehangeo are as follows: Notes Issued ... Decrease ...

The Scotch Banks issued 3,334,19£1., an increase of 26,448/. and the' Irish 4,508,701/, an augmentation of 112,196/ The total circulation of the United Kingdom was, therefore, 36,800,0731., a decrease upon the previous month of 569,1961., bet an increase compared with the like period of 1851, of .4,173,918/ The Bank of England, with the Banks of Scotland and Ireland had last month about 7,760,0001. more specie than in September, 1851. Bills of Ea :change were quoted yesterday afternoon on the princip alt continental cities at nearly previous rates, Hamburgh, however, being lower, and Frankfort 1- Trieste wise higher again. Paris, 90 days, was taken at 25 47i to 52k, Amsterdam at 12 Oi to Ham.- burgh at 13 Si to 81, and Triesta at 11 43 to 48. Upon rail:way matters we have the information sub joined from Messrs. Lamond and Co.:— " Schema; for the construction of railways in Portu gal and Brtizil are being organized, but they have not yet been pu.b holy brought forward. Sardinian, Swedish, and Danish lines, with guaran';es of four per cent., are also shortly . to appear, so that it is not improbable much greater act ii ity may prevail in this department. With regard to ti te• North Staffordshire arrangement, the pros pect is rumoured to involve three-quarters of the London and North-Western dividend, which is not considered a very adven to geoua offer.
