ELECTION PETITIONS. TO THE ,FDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Permit me to call the attention of your Eb^r:tl readers to a most important-change in the, law the presentation of petitions against Tory Members, as Peel's Bill throws considerable personal risk upon peti tioners and their sureties, from which they were toler ably exemiSt under the - old law. Under the present system, Tory agent of the' sitting Member, relying , upon the difficulty of proving the bribery, which noto riously won the seat, or the impossibility of brint;ing it home to the recognised agents, would immediatelyTetnin three or four counsel, send to the borough an expensire professional staff to prepare the defence,--sumiu , :n wit nesses,—in short, incur all the preliminary expenses of defending. the seat, with the certainty of throwing tin 'n his opponent, every shilling of the expense, if the peti tion was not proceeded in, and the probability of saddling him with the whole of the costs, should the merits of the petition be entered into, and prove unsuccessful.

VALE'S COMMERCIAL J • BOARDING ESTABLISHMENT, and PRIVATE FAMILY HOTEL, attendance of the plaintiff extended over a period of six teen months without any.. remuneration, no writ would have: been issued or any legal proceedings taken if the plaintiff could have obtained the amount without resort ing to them. As. the statement was ex parte, and the plaintiff's counsel had no opportunity to reply to it, it is but justice to him to make this explanation. Two cases have been disposed of at this assizes which havo,caused a good deal of conversation, in consequence of the extraordinary disparity in the sentences passed upon the culprits by the Learned Sergeant who offi ciates for Mr. Justice nosanquet. On Tuesday, a young man, named' Francis SZtent, Was Con victed of embezzling some small sums o mono f:om his employer, Mr. Thompson, a poulterer and, fishmonger, at Wands wort h. I t appeare d that the pri soner had previously borne a most excellent character, and he was strongly recommended to mercy by his employer ; but Mr. Sergeant Taddy said he could not attend to the recommendation, and sentenced him to be transported for seven yeas. On Wednesday, a man named John Hough was convicted of having carried on a systematic plan of embezzlement against his employer, and he was also, formally, 'under- the statute, proved to have before been convicted of felony ; and the policeman also stated that other charges had been brought against him ; but this man was only sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment, to the very great surprise of those who had heard the former trial and sentence. respectable appearance and good character, in the em ployment of Mr. Cooper, an . extensive warehouseman in St. Paul's Church-yard, were brought before Alderman Wilson, charged with having been drunk and disorderly in the street. the rules established on this subject in reference to the other portions of the circulating medium. . 9. The credit notes may beTsent by post in the same manner as assignats and Treasury bills ; that is to say, by paying the insurance and the amount of the postage. 10. The exportation and importation of credit notes is prohibited by the Custom House regulations now in force with respect to Treasury bills. 11. The fotigery of credit-notes shall be punished by the penalties awarded by the law against the forgers of all .other State documents. No. 10. QUEEN-SQUARE, LIVERPOOL, Inspector Brake stated that the defendants upon being taken to the station-house declared that they had been wine-tasting• at • the Docks. A very common practice, the Inspector said, by which the owners of the wines in dock were much plundered, and young men led into all sorts of scrapes and debauchery. Alderman WILSON said he was quite aware of the truth of the Inspector's observation. The young men, one of whom was not more than 16, and• another 20 years of age, said that having bad a holi day, and being presented with a tasting-order by an agent, who: sold wines on commission, they set off for the Docks, and were overcome by the variety they tasted. They never before wore in such a condition, and assured the Alderman.that nothing should ever induce them again to " taste" under such circumstances. The ALDERMAN said he trusted that the owners of wine in the Docks would be informed by the press (the only effective way of conveying intelligence of the kind) of the existence of a practice by which a vast deal of their property was daily consumed without the least ad vantage to them. It was the duty of the Revenue Corn missioners, in his opinion, to issue orders that boys. who certainly could not for a moment be supposed to visit the Docks for the purpose of buying, should not be al lowed to " taste at all." Will be found especially eligible for Travellers and Families. the situation being. open, pleasant, conveniently central, and within one minute's walk of the Railway Station. In the Domestic Arrangement no pains are spared to com bine the attention and convenience of an Hotel, with the quietude and comfort of Home, at a reasonable rate of charges to accord with the economy of the times. 'The droper authorities shall hereafter receive from us more detailed regulations for the guidance of the Coun cils of the Foundling Hospitals and of the Loan Bank, both as to the course to be pursued in reference to this operation and to the adjustment among themselves of the accounts of the exchange funds: Given at. Peterhoff, the Ist of July, in the year of Grace, 1841, and of our reign the 16th. (Signed) NICHOLAS. NOTICE TO CREDITORS.—Notice is hereby given that EDWARD MORRIS MORGAN of Welchpool, in the county of Montgomery, barytes-manufac turer, did, by an Indenture, bearing date the 15th day of July, instant, assign over unto RICHARD GOOLDEN, of Welch pool, aforesaid, carrier, and THOMAS BOWEN, of the same place, banker, all his personal estate and effects, upon trust, for the equal benefit of themselves, and all the other creditors of the said Edward Morris Morgan, who should execute the same Indenture. And the said Indenture is attested as to the execution thereof by the Ikaid Edward Mortis Morgan, on the day on which the same bears date, by Robert S)ers Chris tian, solicitor, Harrington-street, Liverpool, and by the said Richard Goolden and Thomas Bowen, on the 17th day of July last, by William Yearsley, of Welchpool, in the county of Montgomery, solicitor ; and notice is hereby given that the said deed lies for execution, by the creditors of the said Ed ward Morris Morgan, at the office of me, the undersigned, and that such of the creditors shall not immediately come in and execute the said deed will be excluded from all benefit under the same. The - difference between this and the olcl law is inost important. - Formerly, let the result of the petition- what it might, in 99 cases out of 100, etch party paid his own costs. Coming events cast their shadows before them ; and, whaler Peel's Bill was introduced to protect the anticipated Tory majority or not, most assuredly it must tend very much to abridge the right of petitioning Three or four thousand pounds on each side, is no exor bitant sum for a closely contested petition. A party may not be unwilling to bear his own costs, but may well hesitate before he incurs the risk of paying those of his opponent, increased,' as they would be, by . Tory chicanery. • . . The present meeting; has been cal'ed by the Directory; under that clause of the Subscribers' agreement which authorises the Board to call a general meeting of the Subscribers, and pro vides, that the majority of the persons present at such general meeting, (to consist of not less than 40 persons, holding in the aggregate 3,000 shares in the Company) should have full Power to determine whether and upon what terms and condi tions the undertaking should be abandoned, and the Company dissolTed, and the affairs there 4 wound up, and to make such provisions for those purposes as to such meeting should appear expedient. It is not the intention of the Directors to advert to the cir cumstances attending the defeat of the Bill submitted to Par liament in the last Session. Looking at the present condition of railway property: in general, and the unexampled depression under which the trade of. this &strict is now labouring, they are of opinion, that it is riot desirable immediately to renew the application to Parlia- Ment for power to construct the line. But, retaining their conviction of the value of a railway through the Trent Valley. and wishing, at the same time, to consult the convenience of the Shareholders, they recommend that the unexpended funds of the Company be distributed, and that all farther proceedings be p et tpoiled until a more favourable state of circumstances shall warrant the Shareholders in authorising the prosecution of the undertaking. In the mean time, it will be satisfactory to the Shareholders to be apprised, that no new expenses ;will be incurred, and that their liability ,will be determinkif -upon the .r.ceii-A or their zoportiOw of the balance of the Coin- Perry's funds. (IFFICE of the GOVERNOR and COM PANY of COPPER MINERS in ENGLAND, OLD BROAD-STREET, London, August 4, 1841.—The COURT of ASSISTANTS of the Governor and Company of Copper Miners in England HEREBY GIVE NO fICE, that they have this day made a CALL of TEN POUNDS per SHARE on those Shares the holders of which have not already availed themselves of the option of paying up their instalments : such Call to be paid on or before the 15th day of October next, at the Bankil , g-house of Messrs. Glyn, Hallifax, Mills, and Co., Lombard-street ; or at the Offices of the Company, Old Broad-street. Extract from the regulations approved on the 2d July, 1841, by his Majesty the Emperor, for the guidance of the Councils of the Foundling Hospitals and of the Lean Bank in what relates to the issue of credit notes, the ex change of them, and the adjustment of accounts among these various establishments 7 Hoping this notice may prevent any Liberal candidata exposing himself to the tender mercies of the Tory law yers or Tory agents, needy and unprincipled as they are, I am, Sir, your most obedient selvant, , A REJECTED CANDIDATE. London, August 11, 1841. _ _ _ _ _ " 1. The proportion of credit-notes, assigned by the Imperial manifesto of the Ist of July in this year to the treasuries of the Foundling Hospitals of St. Petersburgh and Moscow, and the Loan Bank respectively, shall form, in the case of each of those establishments, a special capi tal, of which a particular account shall be kept. " 2. In making loans, these establishments shall inform .the borrowers that they must take credit-notes in part of the sum to be advanced. Mr. Hobler said it was pretty well understood that parties of the sort by slipping half-a-crown to a cellar man, could take the choice of the best that could be found, whoever might be the owner. A gentleman who was oti business in the Justice-room said that the extent to which wine " tasting", was carried on in the Docks was quite extraordinary. It was but the day before he met a big publican, a notorious " wine tester," with three or four of his swabby- faced, dissolute companions, returning, at a little after two o'clock, from the Docks, after having swallowed, in " tasting," eleven bottles of the most expensive wines, and upon being told that they might as well have finished the 'dozen, the publican said, with a horse laugh, " Ah, I'm d—d if' we don't make up for that to-morrow, for we'll taste' thir teen bottles then, and no mistake."—(A laugh.) Alderman WILSON said that he should certainly do all he could to check the practice. As the present defend ants were so respectable, and had erred for the first time, he should not inflict a more severe penalty than five shil lings upon each ; • but let the experienced wine taster be ware of him, and let the big publican have an eye to himself in his rambles from the Docks.

HOME CIRCUIT—Croydon, August 17. - CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Lord Chief Justice TINDAL.) TODD AND ANOTHER V. EMLY AND ANOTHER. This was an action to recover the sum of 1941. for wine supplied to the Alliance Club, of which the defen dants were members. _ _ _Mr. PLATT, with whom was Mr. PETERSDORICF, ap peared fur the plaintiffs; Mr. TuEsmEn and Mr. SWANN were for the defendants. It appeared from the statement of the Learned Coun sel that this action has been twice before tried, and on each occasion a verdict was returned for the plaintiffs. In the year 1836 several gentlemen, amongst whom were the defendants, formed a Club, which was called the Al liance, and for which the premises, No. 79, Pall-mall, were taken. A Committee was appointed for conducting the affiiirs of the Club, and it was part of their duty to select tradesmen to furnish the provisions, &c. The plaintiff's, Messrs. Todd and Dosanquet, were selected to supply the wines, and a large quantity was sent in. In the year 1839 it was discovered that the undertaking would not answer ; a general meeting of the members was called, and it was resolved, after examining all the' accounts, that the Club should be dissolved. There were many outstanding debts, all goods having been supplied on credit; and it was found that a subscription of 131. from each member would liquidate all the debts. A portion of the members handed in their subscriptions, but others did not, and consequently the funds were not sufficient to Meet the demands. A balance of 1941. being left in the plaintiffs' account, they brought this action against the _defendants, who were on the Committee at, the time the goods were supplied. On behalf of the plaintiffs it was contended that the defendants, although they did not absolutely order the wine, were liable for the payment, as they were cog nisant of the fact of its being supplied on credit, and con sequently must have been aware that they were sanc tioning the acts of their agent in giving the order. A number of witnesses were called, who proved that the defendants were on the Committee—that they were aware of, and sanctioned the order being given to the plaintiffs, and that they were also aware that it was not paid for. Mr. THESIGER addressed the Jury for the defendants, when _ _ The Learned JUDGE summed up, and the Jury in stantly returned a verdict for the plaintiffs for the amount claimed. In reference to the case of Teevan v. Butt, reported ;in Tuesday's proceedings of the Home Circuit, our reporter states that he is informed that at the time the writ was delivered to the defendant, the plaintiff was not his medi cal attendant, and he had expressly declined to be so me time before ; and that, consequently, no ad vantage was taken of that position to serve the writ And also that although the medics OXFORD ClRCUlT—Gloucester, August 11. John Wait, the younger, was indicted for an assault upon Robert Harrison, on the 24th of February last. The prosecutor conducted his own case, being unable, as he observed, to " purchase" counsel. Mr. Alexander appeared for the fiefendant. - The defendant, who' mores in very good society, re sides at Blakeney, in this county, and is high constable . of the district ; and the pp,aecutor,, who is an o ld sol dier, or, as he termed himself, "an old warrior," lives near him. On the evening of the 24th of February, be tween six and - seven o'clock, the prosecutor hari ng finished his clay's work was proceedlin , homewards, with a pipe indsis mouth, accompanied by his sons, two little boys, when he 'came up with the defendant, who was sitting in his gig, close by the entrance to his own re sidence, and talking to a person in his employ, named Hyatt. Hyatt was standing so near to the gig that if he had put out his arm he could have touched Mr. Wait, but the prosecutor, although there was plenty of room for him to pass on the other side of the gig, or even behind Hyatt, thought proper to go be tween' the defendant and Hyatt, smoking as he went. Irritated at what was doubtless an act of ins pertinence, th e defendant made some obser va ti on a b ou t his being an insulting rascal, and, declared he had a good mind *to give him a good horse-whipping, and, jumping out of .the gig, he ran after the prosecutor for twenty yards, and stopping before him shook hi s w hi p , which was do u bl e d in his right hand, over the prose cutor's shoulders several times, calling him at the - sine time an insulting rascal, and declaring that for half a farthing he would knock his head off. While using this language he raised his left hand and knocked the pipe out of the prosecutor's mouth, knocking out at the same time, or, to employ what seemed to be a pet word with the prosecutor, " extricating" one of the prosecutor's teeth, which, to - make the loss more cutting, happened to be an " eye tooth." The defendant also pushed his fist up to the prosecutor's nose, who told him that he had done quite enough, and that he would " take the law on him.' Upon this the defendant went back to his gig, Calling Hyatt to witness that he had not struck the pro secutor. . The prosecutor's story was repeated almost verbatim :by Hs son, a little fellow twelve. years old, whose examination and cross-examination occasioned much amusement, but all surprise about the coincidence of the two statements vanished when it appeared froM the boy's own account that almost every evening since the 24th of February he had told the story to his father on their return from work, and that his father had told him that his tooth was "extricated," and had desired him to stick to his story, and to mind what he did say, and not to tell a lie. It appeared that there was some pre vious ill feeling between the parties, arising out of alleged acts of trespass. The Jury found the defendant guilty, and. His LORDSHIP said he quite agreed with the verdict; and regretted that a gentleman in the defendant's p,osition should so far forget himself as to assault an old man in the prosecutor's situation in life. The sentence of the Court was that he should pay a fine of 10/.' to the . Queen, and.be imprisoned till the fine was paid. The money was immediately paid, and the defendant was discharged. With this ma! ended the business contained in the County calendar. His Lordship then proceeded to try the city prisoners, among whom is one charged with the crime of murder. Philip Inkin, Richard Goodman, Charles ,Harper, Frederick Davis, Thomas Trickey, Wilrank Day . Charles Chester ills - TriithCne, were n ieted for the mans aughter of. William Brown, on Whit Mon day, the 31st of May last. Mr. Francillon (with whom was Mr. W. H. Cooke) conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Godson appeared for Chesterton and William Davis ; Mr. Greaves for Inkin. Goodman, and Trickey ; Mr. Alexander for Harper ; Mr. Keating for Protheroe ; and Mr. A. M. Skinner for Frederick Davis. It appeared that the deceased had challenged Inkin to fight, and that the battle was to have come off at the Hain, within the limits of the city of Gloucester, but being interrupted there by a c i ty p o liceman, the parties moved off to Sandhurst-green, about two miles and a half from Gloucester, when they stripped and set to. Good man seconded the deceased, and Trickey . was his bottle holder, and Harper and Frederick Davis acted in the same capacity for Inkin. William Davis kept the ring, and Chesterton was a timekeeper. They had not fought more than three or f our rounds when two o f th e county police made their appearance on the ground, and endea voured, but at first ineffectually, to stop the fight, which proceeded for a good many roun d s mo re, when the two policemen mad e th e i r way i nto the r i ng, an d, p ro d uc i ng their staves, declared they would break the arm of either of the combatants who struck another blow. The ring was broken, the fight was stopped, and the seconds were about to take their men away, when Chesterton, who was on horseback, rode into the ring. and told the policemen that be would report them for not doing their duty before, and that as they had been watching the fight for their own pleasure, the combatants should fight on for his. Protheroc also came and said the fight should not be stopped, and Chesterton made a fresh ring by riding round with his horse, and the light was re newed. About 35 rounds were 'fought afterwards, and in the 75th or 76th round Brown stood up, but his legs faltered ; he fell, was never heard to speak more, and diedin about three hours afterwards. The cause of death was the effusion of blood from one of the blood-vessels of the brain, but there was no external bruise correspond ing with the internal seat of the injury. The medical witnesses differed in.opinion ; one of the surgeons said, that the effusion of blood did not necessarily produce im mediate death, and thought that time deceased mint have died from the blows or falls which he had received in the course of the tight, while the other thought that could not be the case. The Jury, nfter considerabl e time spent in deliberation, acquitted all the prisoners. The verdict, which was not delivered till past nine o'clock at night, was received with manifestations of app!ause, which were with difficulty suppressed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. The father of a patient who died in Bartholomew's Hospital waited-upon . Sir Peter Laurie, a few days ago, to complain against the authorities of the establishment for having, without asking permission of the father, opened the body of. the deceased.. The applicant de clared, that if the surgeons had-mentioned to him that it was necessary, on account of the nature of the disease of which his.son died, to cause an examination to be made, he would not, for a moment, have opposed the use of the knife, but not one word had been said to him on the subject. _ _ Sir P. LAURIE was very much surprised at the state ment, and appeared to be quite incredulous, as he was well acquainted With the system at the hospital. He said it happened that Alderman Lucas, the President of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, was in the house, and it was necessary that he should be informed of the cir cumstance. Alderman Lucas having immediately attended and heard the statement, said at once that he did not believe ono word of it, and asked the applicant- whether he had seen the body ? The applicant replied that he certainly had not. Alderman Lncas-Have you seen the surgeons or the nurses on the subject ? The applicant said he had not, but he had been assured by the beadle that the body of his son was cut up by the surgeons. The young man had died of delirium tremens. Alderman Lucas said, that before the applicant came forward to make so serious a complaint, he ought to have communicated with the authorities at the Hospital, and ascertained beyond the least doubt that the body had been opened. He then desired that the applicant should meet him at the Hospital, when an immediate in quiry should be instituted. Alderman Lucas yesterday called at the Mansion house, and requested that the result of the investigation should be publicly stated, to remove any vulgar preju dice which might have been excited in the minds of those who heard the statement. He met the father of the de ceased as he had appointed, and took him to the sur geons, who were quite ignorant of the matter, as well as was every nurse and attendant at the Hospital. He then requested the house-surgeon to go to the house of of the father, to which the body had been removed from the bone-house, and accurately investigate into the affair of the cutting; and ,after the examination the surgeon reported that there was not a scratch upon any part of the deceased.—(A laugh.) So much for the correctness of the declaration that the surgeons of the Hospital had taken such a libe. The Alderman th en d escr ib e d th e vast liberality, tenderness, and care upon all occasions exhibited by the admirable establishment of which he was President. Sir P. LAURIE reprobated the attempt to excite a pre judice against so great and benevolent an institution, and said that the father of the deceased had called to declare that he had been misinformed, and that he deeply regretted not having made inquiry on the subject of those who were qualified to inform him correctly. • WINE-TASTING IN THE DOCKL—Three young men of QUEEN-SQUARE. Mustapha Ali, the Greek adopted by Lord Byron, whose case has excited much interest, was yesterday again brought up for re-examination. On the prisoner being placed in the dock, _ _ A.6.GREGORIE, addressing the prosecutor, Mr. Wood, said :—" I have given this charge, which involves in it a point of law, the greatest consideration ; and my opinion is, that if the prisoner were sent for trial he would in all probability be convicted. I am, however, informed that there exists a desire to send the prisoner out of the country in a private manner, but Colonel Stanhope; who is here, will speak for himself on that subject. I have sent for you, because I did not wish that anything should be done without your concurrence. You are the party aggrieved, and it is for you to determine whether the prosecution shall go on. Mr. Wood said he had no ill-feeling towards the pri soner, and he really thought it very desirahle that he should be sent out of the country, but he could not help saying it was cruel on the part of the prisoner to attempt to impose upon him when he knew he was a poor man. Colonel Leicester Stanhope, after some remarks, said, the prisoner's character was now damaged to such an ex• tent, that it occurred to him his only remaining means of living in this country was by breaking stones, or some such menial occupation. The prisoner, who appeared very thankful, was then remanded for a week. , Colonel Stanhope, who.satisfied the claim of the prise cutor, then went with prisoner's solicitor to make the necessary arrangements for getting him sent out to one of the colonies.

The magnificent entrance to our great tunnel is drawing to a conclusion. while the booking and other offices are all but finished. The landing and departing platforms are now getting very handsome sheds, with cast-iron supports set up ;. and the ground is clearing out for laying the perma nent rails. Yesterday Mr. John Craig, the mineralo gist, made a survey of the tunnel in furtherance of the objects of the British Association, and proceeded right through it, in company with the very polite and spirited Contractor, Mr. Marshall. Amongst many other geolo gical specimens got in the journey, we saw perfect masses of the Nucula, Tumida, Producta Scotia, Pro ducta Martinii, Bellerophon Uri, and Apiocrinites, ha bedded in a shale, above a two-feet limestone, with many other interesting remains of a period long before the creation of man.-= Glasgow Constitutional. NORTH UNION RAILWAY.—On Tuesday last the pro prietors of this railway met at the Railway Station, Preston, to receive the Report of the Directors for the last half year, and to elect three Directors in the room of those retiring from office. Theodore W. Rathbone, Esq., presided. The Report having been read, a discus sion took place as to whether a sum of money should be laid aside for the purpose of repairing such portions •of railway stock as would necessarily, in time, wear out. Mr. Garnett moved that 5,0001. be set apart for that pur pose. Mr. Ormerod seconded the motion, and it was lost by a large majority. The Chairman stated, that the claims upon the Company were very insignificant, not amounting to more than perhaps 2,0001. for the building of some cottages upon the line, and other matters of a similar nature. He further stated, that they had not ex hausted the loan already obtained, and that they had power in the Act to borrow a very large sum in addition to what had already been so . obtained. The Report was then unanimously adopted, and, on the motion of J. Wilcockson, Esq., seconded by 1 Higgins, Esq., Joseph Hornby, Esq., Richard Earle, Esq., and William Tay lor, Esq., were re-elected as Directors. A vote of thanks was then given to the Directors for their conduct during the past year, and also to W. Rathbone, Esq., Chairman of the Board of Directors, and the meeting separated. RUSSIAN FINANCE. PROCLAMATION BY THE EMPEROR. We, Nicholas 1., by . the grace of God Emperor and Autocrat of all the Russias, &c. &c. &c. In order to facilitate the operations of establishments connected with the public credit, and to increase at the same time the amount of the circulating medium ; and considering it adyisable to create a new description of paper with a complete guarantee for its value ; in con formity with the advice of the Council of the Emplie we ordain as follows: I. In six weeks from the promulgation of the present decree the treasuries of the . Foundling Hospital, and of the Imperial Loan Bank, shall be authorised to advance money, on the security of real property, in credit-notes of the value of 50 silver roubles. These 'notes shall be of a particular form, of which the Department of Fi nance shall present copies to the Directing Senate, the Ministerial offices, the superior branches of administra tion, and the Chambers of Finance. These copies shall also be posted in all the commercial exchanges. 2. These credit-notes shall amount to 30 millions of silver roubles, of which 1.5 millions shall be on account of the treasury of the Foundling Hospital at Moscow ; eight millions on account of that at St. Yetersburgh; and seven millions on account of the Loan Bank. 3. These notes shall be guaranteed by the entire ca-_ pital and funds of the credit establishments of the em pire; and further by their being changeable on demand for specie, agreeably with the arrangements in Article 5 of the present manifesto. 4. Throughout the empire these notes shall be current equivalently with specie. 5. The exchange of these notes for specie or assignats shall take place, at the option of the holders, at the trea sury of either of the Foundling Hospitals, or of .the Loan Bank, without limitation of the amount presented, and without reference to the particular establishment that may have issued them. In order to insure punctuality in this exchange, the various treasuries shall, whenever they issue notes, deposit in a special fund for the express pur pose a sum of specie equal to one-sixth part at least of the value of the issue. 6. With a view still further to facilitate the exchang.e of these notes, all the treasur ies o f districts shall be held bound to exchange them to the amount of 100 silver roubles to each person who may present that, or a larger amount. • 7. The funds for exchange, and the quantity of notes, whether issued or not, are placed under the control of the Council of Credit establishments. In addition to the monthly revision that the treasuries of the Foundling Hospitals and the Bank are bound to make, there shall be twi ce a year a special revision, .viz., at the St. Petersburgh Found ling Hospital and Loan Bank, directly by the Conn , cil of Credit establishments ; and at the Foundling Hospital of Moscow by three Senat ors , name d b y t h e I Minister of Justice, in conjunction with the marechal of the nobility of the province and the mayor of the city. The accounts audited by them, and their remarks, shall also be submitted to the said Council. 8. The exchange of old notes, unfit for further circula tion, for new ones, shall take place in, conformity with " 5. The credit-notes received by the aforesaid trea suries, either as repayment of loans, or in exchange for specie, under the name of deposits, shall be again em ployed in loans as has been already directed. These same notes may be issued in reimbursements of deposits, but not without the consent of the depositors. 6. The accounts to be submitted twice a year for re vision to the Council of Credit establishments (in pur suance of article 7 of the Imperial manifesto), must spe cify the number of credit-notes that form part of the capital ; those issued in loans ; those received in ex change ; those disposed of in repayment of deposits ; and lastly, these remaining in the different treasuries, together with the amount of reserve funds applicable to exchanges.

PUBLIC ACCOMMODATIONS.—The attention of the in habitants of Cowes, should be directed to the necessity of some better mode of conveyance than the present, between East and West Cowes, the splendid villas about to be erected at East Cowes Park, : will make it the in terest of all parties to facilitate the cotnmunication ; the increase of company requires increase of accommo dation, particularlarly when it is considered that the mildness of the situation, added to the beautiful views it commands, and the ease and expedition with which it would never visit it. They should recollect, that the may be reached from town (about four hours), must bring hundreds to it, that under other circumstances new town will draw company in the winter to for rotection and mild air. STATE OF TRADE. Every branch of the hosiery trade is in a most deplor ably stagnant state, as little or nothing seem s d oing ; this is equally applicable to silk gloves, silk hose, cotton hose, cotton drawers; and fancy hosiery. The master stockingers attend the warehouses in groups, but as there are few or no orders, they generally come away empty handed to their despairing journeymen. An attempt was made in the early part of the week to get up a meeting of • the unemployed, for which purpose the Chartist bell was sent round ; but the assemblage was so slender; that they agreed to adjourn. If this be the state of things early in August, what must be ex pected in . winter, as about every fourth able-bodied man in this vicinity is a stocking-maker ? 'What is most remarkable, the hosiery trade is in a stagnant state in Spain, Belgium, Saxony, Austria proper, and Rome ; whilst in Savoy, Austrian Italy, Prussia, a n d Wirtemberg, (particularly in the two former), it is in a very flourishing state, as the smiths are busily em ployed in building, new frames. Stocking -making in France is removing from Lyons and the South, and is concentrating in Champagne an d Lower Pi cardy ; the hands are tolerably well employed, but they are so extremely 'slow, that the French Government are compelled to protect them from competition by prohibitions. This is equally .the case with the stocking manufacture throughout Europe, except Saxony and Switzerland, in the latter the manufacture is nearly extinct ; in the former, though they have for a time been rapidly extending, yet a terrible reverse has over taken them. In March last we were informed. by a gen tleman, who had been hi Chemnitz, that nut one frame in ten was employed. Later information asserts that this want of employment has increased, so that scarcely one frame in twenty has full employment' 1% C are waiting for correct statements on this point. The state of fashion is certainly against the stocking making trade, boots and trousers having superseded stockings. In every•other respect English stockingers . have little to fear from anything but cut-ups and foreign' prohibitions, arising from the jealousy of foreign in work men, as the extreme low wages on the Continent, b oth manufactures and agriculture,of trade con sumption.. ln the United States, the balance than they sell, being against them, as they buy ex n t t i ' ded prevents mure causes their monetar system to be our greatest cus and subject to panics; as they of wisdom to give them tomers, it would be the height oh:h. ev er an fluctuating, with our own colo greater facilities in disposing of . t os ing them in commercial transactions produce, assimilat- • goods., is somewhat better than the colo nies ; this would cause an instant demand for English The state of the lace blond trade, we are happy to hosiery trade. but t d n vance the wages to the price not to that extent as to induce the largest manufacturer in which has been given weeks y to his workmen.

Probably the consequences will be, that cargoes now on the road from England to this country will hav to go into lazaretto, and thus incur considerable expenses, de lay, and injury.
