Th 9 case suggested by B. C." is indeed one of extreme hardship, the cruelty of which is no less remarkable than its inipolicy. We fear, however, that he has no legal remedy. If boards of guardians should be so hare-hearted, and so forgetful of their own interest, as to prefer keeping a man, able and willing to work, a permanent burden on the rates, rather than, by afford ing him a trifling assistance by way of loan, to enable him to earn comfortable wages, there is no possible mode by which they can be compelled to adopt a more humane and politic course. Persons may easily be made paupers and kept paupers, but there is no thing in the law by which any facility or aid will be afforded to those anxioui to emerge from so painful a position, and to earn their own support by their own honest industry. niGII WATER AT LONDON MUDGE, Tars DAT —vornlng, 16 min. after 5 I Evening, 36 Tr.lc, after o-Nroaaow—Morning, 59 ml/. after 5 I Ev.m.!)..•, 21 earn. after C 'ME WEATHER.--SUN WFICE, SEPT. 8.

Whatever the authorities may dream of in regard to the perpetuation of a system already de cayed to very rottenness—whatever may be the san guine views entertained upon this subject, either at the Horse Guards or at the Admiralty—the assertion is not the less emphatically true that both naval and military courts-martial are doomed. We know well enough the supercilious feelings with which an assu rance of this character will be regarded by a class so long invested with almost irresponsible authority. We know how the mere pronunciamento of a man of the pen is considered by the man of the sword —gene rally, or, at least, apparently. Yet, in spite of this we reiterate with implicit confidence our warning to the high and mighty personages at the Horse Guards and the Admiralty. We speak thus as journalists, as an organ of public opinion, and we speak without the shadow of a reservation, from our knowledge of the unconquerable and irresistible force of that same public opinion of which we are the exponents. Pre sidents of naval and military tribunals may shrug their shoulders with an expression of scorn ful incredulity, but such is the doom of their unnatural and abused supremacy—Lieutenant- Colonels, Deputy Judge-Advocates, Post-Captains, and Admirals of the Red, White, and Blue to the contrary nevertheless notwithstanding. After such examples of glaring and gigantic injustice as those afforded by the court-martial, at Guernsey, on Captain DOUGLAS, and by the court-martial, at Plymouth, on Lieutenant GRARAM, the destruction of those absurd hut cruel tribunals has become a matter not only of necessity, but of absolute cer tainty. England will no longer consent to witness the degradation of her national character through the medium of a system rather suited to the feudal ages than to the middle of this century of enlighten. ment. England will no longer submit to the con tinuance of this blot on her escutcheon. Everything, indeed, of late has served to indicate that the people of this great country revolt at the least vestige of those obsolete formulas, the remnants of which are still adhering t our institutions. Whereas formerly soldiers were not unaccustomed to receive so many hundred lashes at the triangle—when the thongs were again brought into play, not very many months back at Hounslow, the whole land shook with execrations. Again, it is yet warm within our recollection how the fanaticism of a clergyman, as evinced towards a poor wretch under sentence of execution excited the loathing and indig nation of the whole community—although our an cestora regarded an auto.da fe with less inconvenience to their nervous system than was caused to ourselves and our contemporaries the other day, by hearing of the blister raised on the palm of an unfortunate murderess's hand by the flame of a tallow candle. Ths truth is, civilrz stion has done its benign work with the inhabitants of the United Kingdom. The English people abhor the semblance of injustice, and are exquisitely intolerant of cruelty. They will per mit the existence of neither the one nor the other in any one of the classes of the population ; much less will they submit to its continuance in the administra tion of cur two glorious and noble services. For although civilians, the people of Great Britain are sensitive to a degree as to the honour of those illus trious professions. Nor will they behold the degeneration of the British army or the British navy in this manner with indifference, even though the sticklers for the retention of the old system of brutality be led on by his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON. Very fortunately for the country the judgment of the Duke of WELLINGTON h anything rather than infallible. Otherwise we should have little chance of social, political, religious, or constitutional reform. His Grace with his pro- verbial stubbornness may cling to the old prerogatives of courts-martial and the like, as though they were the most lalred of all sacred institutions, but in defiance of his opposition down those preposterous and insufferable institutions will come, leaving behind them a memory more contemptible but quite as odioui as those of the Council of Ten, and the Star Chamber, and the Ecclesiastical Commission, and the Spanish Inquisition. For Public Opinion is somewhat stronger than the Duke of WELursoTors, aye, than one hun dred thousand Dukes of WELLINGTON. Reading the particulars of the court-martial held on Captain DOUGLAS at Guernsey, we are reminded only of the crass and egi:egious stupidity of another quite as rational tribunal, namely, that of Goodman isonnsitur and his brother•dolt Master Constable. VERGES. Rea..ling on the other hand the details of the court•martial held on Lieutenant GRAHAM, and subsequently on Commander PITMAN, we fancy our . . . selves perusing the records of the British navy—not as it exists now, but as it was in the days of TOBIAS SiefOLLETT. That so much brutality could be perpe trated on board one of the war vessels of her Majesty Queen VICTORIA, is almcst beyond the limits of cre dibility. Here is an officer commanding one of the Iships of the SO VEREIGN of Great Britain treating the men subjected to his authority with such system tic 1 and almost inconceivable cruelty, that two of them commit suicide—two others are driven mad—two others (officers!) are goaded to the commission of the high offence of desertion—the ship boys are scrubbed into a . state of insensibility with scrubbing brushes—and the crew, generally speaking, become in heart, if not in act, mutinous ! Those who have not perused the painful particulars conveyed in the trial of Commander PITMAN, of her MAJESTY'S ship Childers, will pos sibly imagine that there must either be some monstrous exaggeration or some eccentric typo graphical mistake in the foregoing para graph. Such unhappily is not the case : the details are only too accurate, as may be discerned in a very brief period by an examination of the reports of the inquiry before the court-martial held at Plymouth. There it will be seen that a seaman named Haw, for stealing a few candles to burn when the nights were dark, was subjected to such extreme punishment, being confined for several days in the stern gratings, during very cold and boisterous weather, that he became insane before he was released from confine ment. Another unfortunate wretch was deprived of his senses through similar treatment. A marine named WHITE, being threatened by the Captain with four dozen lashes, sprang in terror and shame from the bow of the Childers and was drowned. An officer is presumed to have been driven in like manner to the commission of suicide. The ship boys are ordered to have their heads scoured with the scrub bine. brush at a time when the thermometer is at 50, one of them being only restored to sensibility 1 after the operation by having his head held before the galley fire by the assistant ! surgeon. At length the infamous ill-treatment of the crew and officers of her MAJESTY'S ship Childers appears to have become so unendurable, that Mr. GRAHAM and Mr. ELLIOTT, the one lieutenant and the other master, are driven to a state of desperation, and desert. This is, indeed, the immediate cause of the disclosure of these atrocities. After the unfor tunate officers last mentioned have been condemned to suffer the extreme sentence inflicted upon deserters —a sentence generally most just in itself, vindicatin3 as it does the outraged principles of submission to au thority, but in this case a sentence of the most gross and intolerable injustice, seeing the merits of the able 'and excellent young officer, Mr. GRAHAM, and bearing in mind the extraordinary provocation to which he and his companion in misfortune had been subjected—every consideration, in short every detail, every instance bearing upon the subject of courts• martial, assures us that their period of continuance, both in reference to the army and the navy, is rapidly drawing to a conclusion. For this end we shall pray, for this end we shall act, for this end we hall argue incessantly, until a sweeping and com prehensive re-organization has been effected ; and we shall do so simply out of our profound reverence for the cause of justice, of truth, and of common humanity. We are given to understand that the memorial for warded by Captain DOUGLAS to the authorities at the Horse Guards has been replied to in the most un gracious and unsatisfactory language. This circum stance only affords a strong corroborative argument in favour of the ideas expressed by ourselves in the foregoing article. We are gratified, however, to learn that the cruel injustice with which Captain DOUGLAS has been treated throughout these shameful proceed ings has so far excited the indignation of one of the most distinguished men in the United Kingdom, that on the opening of the next session the matter will be formally brought under the consideration of Par liament. As some powerful enemy might fall upon an un defended city when its gates stood open, its soldiers were absent from their post, and its unsuspecting in habitants wrapt in slumber, so the cholera has fallen upon this country. Never did the bills of mortality present such appalling figures for a sum total. Every day from two to three hundred are added to the ter rible list in London alone. Almost like the Egyp tian plague, when "there was not a house in which there was not one dead," every locality, every street furnishes victims to the pestilence, every family mourns some friend or relative cut off, while in some instances whole families are at once swept into the same grave. If, however, this terrible scourge has progressed through the length and breadth of the land, and more especially through the metropolis like a victorious foe, whose strength is irresistible, it must be admitted that never was garrison less protected than the health of the inhabitants of London—the enemy had only to appear and his conquest was assured. If, instead of a destructive disease, the cholera were a healthful and beneficial boon to the community, it is hardly possible to imagine a single means whereby its presence might be attracted and its progress accele rated more than it is at present. The sanitary con dition of the metropolis has long been the subject of our reiterated complaints. Now the subject can no longer be tampered with. The long-required remedies can no longer be deferred. It seems to be an established principle with all in power, whether ministers, senators, or boards of commission, to avoid as much as possible the preventive system. No grievance is ever remedied until it is become intoler able. No attempt is ever made to prevent the exist ance or to check the growth of crime, disease, or any other social calamity. The well-paid guardians of public safety fold their arms and sleep idly at their posts till the enemy has entered the citadel. Before they are fully roused to a sense of the dangers—before they have taken up their arms and decided upon their course of action, the defenceless citizens have fallen into the power of the destroyer —the ground is strewed with the dying and the dead, and before that enemy can be fairly driven from the city how many more must be sacrificed ? We do not, of course, venture to say that if every means necessary for the preservation of the public health were habitually made use of that the cholera had never entered the metropolis ; but we do say that, in all human probability, if it had entered at all, it would only have passed by as it has passed at other places had it not found in the condition of the metropolis a congenial element. Let us only look at some of the records of the registrar. Appended to the various deaths in the various districts, we find a brief comment on the state of the house or neighbourhood in which they occurred. We quote a few of these comments, almost at random :—" The houses are densely populated, and the drainage is bad." " This street is open but not well drained." "A filthy, dirty place. The whole of this densely-populated and most wretched locality has suffered very severely from the epidemic. The principal cause appears to be bad drainage, over-populated and poor occupants, with small houses let in tenements." " This house consists of a small shop with a room behind, in which lived five adult persons in a most filthy condition. There is neither drainage nor proper ventilation." "A close, confined court, with a drain omitting an offen sive smell." "A close, ill-cleansed, crowded, and undrained street." " A very close, crowded, and undrained street." The medical attendant adds On the certificate, " the state of the drainage in this house is pestilential, and the water is in the same state." We might fill a column with similar repetitions "111-drained, undrained, partially drained, close, crowded, ill-ventilated," occur in every other line of the report, and after perusing it, after forming some idea of the filthy streets and poisonous air of London, we are surprised not so much that the cholera has swept away the inhabitants of such localities as that so many still remained there to be attacked. It is a wonder not that people die, but that they liv e w h en t h e air they breathe is poison, the water they dri n k littl e better, and the house they inhabit thronged to re pletion, unventilated, and uncleansed. Such is the metropolis of Great Britain in the nineteenth century. We turn again for corroboration to the .Registrar's report : "The epidemic in Church-lane, St. Giles's, is on the decline; and it is quite certain that it arises from p. e sanitary efforts which have been employed in cleansir.g and whitew as hi ng , an d t h e feeding of the poor Irish families who inhabit these miserable lodging-houses. In Tower -street several fatal cases of cholera bave occurred. The houses are densely populated and badly ventilated, and the inhabitants complain bitterly of a sewer which receives the blood and offal from a butcher's shop in the street, as also the refuse from a tripe shop at the corner of Lumber -court. It is constantly emitting the most poisonous exhalations to the whole neighbourhood." . . Step alley, Gravc-lane, Aldgate. Close, ill cleansed and unfavourable to health ; a locality in which there' have been so many deaths from cholera within the last month, that nothing but a re -modelling or re b u ildi ng of the houses on this spot can possibly remove the baneful effects of disease to which the crowded and dirty habits o f its inhabitants renders them a prey Mr. Roy, tho regis, rar, states that • I was. csnjo'ntly wils another pract:doner, in attendasce upoa all the cites at Margaret's-row, and they were elaracterised by their extreme severity, and from the very commence ment of the attack not allowirg of a ray of hope as to their recovery, reminding me forcibly of the form of cholera which I have formerly witnessed in India. This Margaret's row consists of some ten or twelve cottages, situated at the west end of Brook-green, open in front to the common, and having neat gardens behind; they are small and crowded, but the inhabitants are comfortable for their position in life. The owner of them lived amongst them in a large and commodious house; his death from cholera was reported last week, after about fifteen hours' illness; at that time no_ apparent cause could be given. The first case occurred on Monday last, at No. 7, a gardener, but he had been labouring previously under diarrhcea, but collapse had set in before he was visited, although it was almost immediately. About three P.m., a girl about twelve years; here collapse had like wise shown itself at the very commencement, and at about eleven P.M. the mother, who had been in attendance upon these two cases, was likewise attacked, and b. came immediately collapsed. But perhaps the cases at No.B, which occurred next mor n i ng , were s till more rapid, father and child. The former worked at a bleaching factory close by, left his house about six A.M., in good health, had slept well, neither had been sick or purged, nor any other premonitory symptoms, and in about an hour is seized with all the most malignant symptoms, and at once shows the case as hopeless. The child at home is seized much about the same time, and dies almost as rapidly. A minute investigation into the probable cause of all this brings to light, that within eighty yards of these cottages there is a most foul, filthy, and offensive ditch, containing a large quantity of black putrid matter. It is under the jurisdiction of the Commissioners of Sewers, and they have recently attempted to clean it cut, but apparently without any good effect. It is worthy of observation that the direction of the wind on Sunday and Monday was directly over this ditch to wards these houses.' " When, to the evils consequent on this lamentable want of free ventilation and proper drainage, we add the fatal effects of the pestilential vapours continually streaming from the churchyards, can we wonder if half London is in mourning and funeral knells suc ceed each other with appalling celerity ? As some mitigation to the horrors of the cholera, let us trust it will prevent the recurrence of similar calamities. in like manner as the famine and potato blight were the precursors of free-trade, so perhaps the health of London will arise from the graves of the cholera. How many lives had been spared, and how much of sorrow and suffering unoccasioned, had the remedies been applied by way of prevention ! THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 8 1849. GEBM A N Y AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA AND lIUNGARY. Now that GEORGEY is pardon - A by the young EMPEROR, and allowed to proceed into Styria, it is surely sufficiently manifest, that like all traitors, in abandoning his country to its evil destiny, he has taken good care of number one. From the little paragraph given in our Third Edition of last evening, it will be seen that KOSSUTH was true to the last, enrolling himself as a simple toldier of artillery after he had resigned the office of Dictator. The following letter from DEMBINSKI to BEm is said to have been found upon one of BEm's Aides•de Camp : "Head - quarters, Facse, August 16, Eleven o'clock at night. " General,—Your dispatches, dated Head-quarters, Karansebes, Aug. 12, were delivered to me three hours since by Lieutenant-Colonel Von M—, and, notvvith• standing my comopulrest, I haveeexustio now thehonourn,after a f to replymarchorcedto twenty-oneroefpblbteot as state that t fo h llows: "I cannot assent to the orders con-. tained in the said dispatch, and consequently cannot carry them into execution. You commend me, General, to make my dispositions so as to unite my movements, as speedily as possible, with those of Guyon and Viscey, and then orco more to make point against the enemy, an d o ff er b attle at Lugos. The army concentrated by me at Temeswar on the 7th and Sth of August, which was then 16.000 men strong, with 38 cannon, was reduced to 7,000 men and 16 can non after the loss of the battle. According to my cal culation, the corps of Generals Guyon and Viscey are not 800 men strong. How is it possible, then, General, that with such a small military force, even allowing for the happy concentration of our armies, we eould still hope for a favourable issue, especially as we could de pend only on the Polish and Italian legion, as the Hon veds were hourly numerically reduced, and the Hussars totally demoralised? Were I to accede to your plan and carry it out, it would have no other ( ffict than that the Emperor of Russia would have another person to support in the lunatic asylum. My resolution is taken. As long as the remainder of my corps is not completely dissolved I will fight, but after this I shall commit my self to fate and to my stars. " DEMBINSKI." If Comorn refuses to surrender on the expiration of the armistice, it is to be besieged by General NUGENT. A letter from Pesth, dated August 30, denies the reported execution of the chiefs of the insurgents at Temeswar, among whom were said to be VON WI. L LER, LINKE; SCREWEIDEL, and VON LIRENGES, who are all still alive. lhe EMPEROR has ordered that the insurgents are not to be tried by a court-martial, but ' by a Council of War. Solemn thanksgivings were offered up in the Ca thedral at Vienna on the 2d for the successes of Aus tria in Italy and Hungary. The report of the EMPEROR being about to espouse a Saxon Princess seems to be confirmed. The EM PEROR will be crowned during the year at Presburg. No less than 20,000 Austrian soldiers are said to have perished in Hungary from sickness arid fever alone. F RANKFORT-CVN-THE-MAINE. On the arrival of the A RCHDUK E Vicar of the Em pire at Frankfurt on the 3J, he was received with ac clamations by the crowd. A guard of honour of Prussians and Austrians was placed at his hotel. He was accompanied by two Archdukes, STEPHEN and ALBERT. The Prince of PRUSSIA had previously arrived, and Prince LEOPOLD of Bavaria as ex pected. WURTE3IBURG. The King of WURTEMBERG and Prince SCIIWAR. ZENBURG, Prime Minister of Austria, have just had a conference at Linz. A council of the different Protestant churches based on Lutheranism is about to be held at Witten berg, in Germany. BADEN. On the 3d one of the prisoners taken at Rastadt, JACOBI, a cabinet-maker of Mannheim, was tried and condemned to capital punishment. The Deutsche Zeitung of the 4th inst. contains a proclamation from the Grand Duke of BADEN, pro longing martial law in the Grand Duchy for another term of four weeks. HAMBLTRGH. Most of the originators of the Hamburgh riots have absconded. The tranquillity of the city has not been disturbed since the suppression of the insurrec tion by the troops of Prussia. The Borsenhalle of the 4th inst. states that the adhesion Grand D u t k o e o tb f e Or ed Erc er n a [ l in c G on h s a t s e itu r ti f o u n sc p d ro to po g s i e v d e h by is Prussia, Saxony, and Hanover. SCHLES WIG-HOLSTEIN. At Flensburg peace was still preserved by the Swedes. The difficulties of the Schleswig Administration still continue, the majority of the civic officers re fusing to acknowledge any other authority than that of the late Schleswig-Holstei n Regency. RthSSIA. Already a large portion of the Russian troops are marching from Hungary into Poland, with the ex ception of two corps, which will remain for a time in the neighbourhood of Munkacs, Kaschau, and De breczin ; and a third, which will occupy the district of Bistritz, in Transylvania. The Prince of WARSAW, it appears, has already taken his departure from Hungary. Field• Marshal Prince PASKEWITCR arrived at Warsaw on the Ist inst. from the theatre of war in Hungary. He was honoured with a most brilliant reception by his Majesty the EMPEROR, in presence of the troops drawn up on the parade, before the Palace of Lazienki. On the 15th of August the 22d Russian bulletin announces the occupation of Clausenburg by the troops of GROTENHOLM. ITALY. Accounts from Rome state that the utmost excite ment was visible throughout the capital in conse quence of the strong and liberal letter addressed to M. NET by the French PRESIDENT, concemuing the policy of the three Cardinals, and Proclaiming that a general amnesty, the secularization of the administra tion, the adoptroa of the Code Napoleon, and the inauguration of a generous Government, were the necessary concomitants of the restor4tion of the tem poral authority of the Sovereign PONTIFF. M. DE RAYNEVAL, having returned to Rome from Gaeta, had, at the request of M. NET, consented to communicate the letter of Prince Louis NAPOLEON to the Cardinals, who had at first agreed to its inser tion in the official journal, but afterwards refused, saying they should resign their functions and quit the city if he did so. Before, however, the consent to its publication could be withdrawn the letter was most extensively circulated at Rome and throughout the French army. Colonel NET was to leave on the 31st for Paris. In consequence of the emphatic language of the French PRESlDENT—language which had excited the chagrin and dudgeon of the three Cardinals—it was expected that those functionaries would immediately hand in their resignation. Various rumours are of course afloat as to the in tentions of his HOLINESS, now that those of France have been announced. While some reports assert that Pm Ntnio intends to place himself under the protection of the Austrian flag, the., Constitutionnel of Thursday morning announces, " on the best autho rity," that the POPE will immediately return to Rome, having fully accepted the terms proposed to him. On the other Land, another Paris journal of the same date, the Opinion Publigue, declares that his HOLINESS has postively refused to return on such conditions. TURKE Y. Further intelligence has been received as to the course pursued by the Hungarian refugees in Wal lachia. From Orsova , KOSS UTH with his suite, consisting of MESSAROS, the two PERCZELS, CZERNIN, NIARY, CAROLY, MADARAS, GUYON. and Nelve deputies, went to Calafat, which is just opposite Widdin, where he was joined by BEM, DEMBINSKI, and six teen other Poles. A steamer had, by the influence of English agents, been provided at Galatz, but the Turkish commander, OMAR. PASHA, sent orders from Bucharest that the refugees should be taken to Wid din. As it had been made known that the insurgents had a vast quantity of luggage with them, a Turkish commission went with the Aurttrian Consul from Bucharest to examine it, as it was thought that the Hungarian regalia might be found among the spoils. At the Privy Council held by her Majesty on Wednesday, at Balmoral, an order was passed at the Council for a prayer on account of the great mortality of the cholera, an d the Archbishop of Canter b ury was directed to prepare a form of prayer. MELANcnomr ACCIDENT.—On Monday last four men, named Thoma s Milkr, Solomon Banks, Jon a h W"thington, and Emanuel 'Fanwood or Fleetwood, puddlers at the Bishopwearmouth iron works, while in a state of intoxication hired a boar, and with a quantity of spirits on board went to sea. A heavy ground swell was on at the time, and they were never seen more alive. On T uesday esday mornin g tie boat was picked up by som e pilots in the roads, bottom upwards, and was towed ashore. In the afternoon of the same day the body of Fleetwood was washed up near Whitburn sands. The bodies of the other three have not }et been found. Two of them have left wives and families.--Sunderland Herald.

We pass by his review of the cur rency question, accurate as are most of the definitions given, because there will still be a difference of opinion on that subject, and we come next to the remedy proposed. The author assumes that the imme diate cause of panics is the apprehension of a deficiency of the legal tender. We have no doubt of this fact ourselves, because we saw convincing proof of it in 1847. The plan, therefore, would bet to provide in case of need a legal tender sufficient in quantity to re move the possibility of such apprehension being enter tained, and in order that the remedy may not be worse than the disease, the new legal tender should be of such a nature, as would neither depreciate the currency, nor endanger the convertibility of the note into gold, nor in • terfere with the natural rectification of the foreign ex changes. " Sach a remedy, we believe," says the author, " will be found in the plan we have now to suggest, or in some modification of it. " We propose to enact by law, " That whenever, and so long continuously, as the mini mum rate of interesteof the Bank of England on Bills of Exchange not having more that 95 days to run, shall be at above 6 per cent., all persons may demand of the issue department notes in exchange for 3 per cent. Consols, at the lowest market money price of the day on which the said rate of interest shall be declared. Such notes not to be convertible into gold, but into the stock deposited within twelve months from the time of their being issued, and to be entitled to the interest accruing ou the stock. The notes to be denominated Consul Notes, and to be made a legal tender until due. " There will be no difficulty in working such a plan. Supposing the 15th of October to be the day on which cite Batik should raise its rate of interest to 6 per cent., and that the lowest money price of Three per Cent. Consols should be 85*, arty one could go the following day to the issue department, and, on signing a transfer, demand in exchange for ICOZ of such stuck a Consul note for 851. 2s. 6d. All the notes,, then, during that crisis would be of that amount, and it would Le well to have a note for each 100/. stock, so that at the expira tion of twelve irwriths, the transfer to the new parties could be easily effected. " We have introduced only the Three per Cent. Con sols to avoid having Consol notes of different values, but otherwise there is no reason why the bolder of the Three-and-e. Quarter per Cents., and other Government stocks, should not have the same option. " Should the application for notes commence the fol -1 ming day, the 16th Octob, r, all issued during the quar ter eliding ii e sth January would be reconvertible on the sth October following, the usual quarterly period for paying the dividends. The issue di partment should have the notes prepared, leaving the date arid amount to be filled up in ink, after the manner of Beak post bills. So seen as the Bank of England should re duce its interest below 6 per cent. the operation of the Act would cease, and the notes at the end of the year be cancelled, the status ante quo would be restored and maintained until the Bank should again raise its inte rest to the prescribed rate. The expense of working such a plan - would be merely the cost of preparing the notes. " Such Consol notes would be similar in thsir nature to Bank of England notes, both being based on the security of Government. The Bank of England are alloeed to issue their notes to the extent of 11.000,0001 against the capital which they lent to Government, and 3,000,0001. more, the deposit of Government Stock, the very principle we adopt." The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon were very firm, and bill* on Amsterdam were taken at rather higher rates. The accounts from the manufacturing districts notice less doing by exporters of textile goods, owing to the rise in the price of Cotton. The exports of the precious metals from London during the week to Thursday last was 96,000 ounces of silver and 539 ounces of gold. The English Stock Market is flat again, and there is very little doing. Consols have been 921 to k, and are now 924 Bank Stock is worth 200; Exchequer bills have teen quoted 39s to 425.; and India Bonds 735. premium. The Foreign Securities have been entirely neglected, and there is scarcely any one in attendance. Mexican bonds have been done at 274 ; Peruvian at 54k; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 54,-1. Railway Shares have been much the same as yestea clay, and in a few instances a shade lower. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONk.l O'CLOCE, (From the Official List.) Bank Stock 200 3 per Cent.

DUFAURR and General CHANGARNIER, it was decided that there was no necessity to convoke the Legislative Assembly before the end of the prorogation. Sir MOSES MONTEFIORE has arrived at Marseilles from Jerusalem. 'We regret to find that at Marseilles the cholera is greatly on the increase ; on the 31 the deaths in the hospitals alone being 52. M. DE MONTALEMEERT was entertained at a splen did banquet given to him by the town of Besancon. His reception was most cordial, and the speech he delivered after the dinner was enthusiastically ap plauded. Besancon is the birthplace of FoURIER and of M. PROUDIION. General CHANGARNIER has received the Grand Cross of CHARLES 111. from the QUEEN of Spain. After the censure pronounced on M. BERTIN, Deputy Mayor of Havre, by the Municipal Council of that town, for the Republican speech he had ad dressed to the PRESIDENT, that functionary and another of his colleagues tendered their resignation. The Council immediately elected two other scljoints in their place. Rumours were rife last evening in Paris that in consequence of the letter of the PRESIDENT on Roman Affairs, M. DE FALLOW( would resign, the Minister of War accompanyin g him in his resignation. At any rate that letter must lead to a rupture somewhere, if it does not conduce to the speedy settlement of this complicated transaction. The Bordeaux journals announce the death of M. RAVE; one of the representatives for the Gironde, and belonging to the Legitimist party, at the age o f 76. He has been for some time past in delicate health. M. RAVEZ was President of the Chamber of Deputies under the restoration. The Duchess of ORLEANS is understood to have re- tired to Eisenach with her children, and has met with a most cordial and respectful greeting from all classes of the population.

A line of telegraph between Madrid and Valentia was opened on the 31st ult. The first dispatch was to congratulate General NaavaEz on his fete day, and the second to announce the tranquillity of the province. General NARVAEZ, whose health is still in a pre carious state, left Madrid on the Ist instant for Puerto Llano. Shortly after his departure his car riage broke down, but the Duke escaped uninjured. It is said that the 10th of October, the QUEEN'S birthday, is the period fixed upon for the opening of the Cortes, but that the convocation will not be an nounced till the 15th or 16th instant. The QUEEN is expected to return from La Granja on the 12th, and Queen CHRISTINA on the 14th inst.

BOTANICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON.-ThO ordinary monthly meeting of this society is as held last evening at the society's rooms, 20, &Word -street, Strand; J. lifil" aelds, Esq., treasurer, in the chair. Various donations were announced. Specimens of Odontites Verna, a plant new to the British flira, were present,,d by John Ball, Esq. The plant was discovered by him at Chepstow, last year. Mr. Coleman read a paper "On the iiotany Lf El9raharn, Sussex." We have received the Paris papers of yesterday, Among the intelligence contained in those journals there is a piece of information regarding ROman affairs of the very highest importance. From the letter addressed by the PRESIDENT to his aide-de camp, M. EDGAR NET, now with the expeditionary army in the Eternal City, it is evident that the Prince is not altogether a tool in the hands of the reaction naires. This remarkable document (printed in the Moniteur of yesterday) is as follows : " Ely:eJ National, August 18th, 1849. " My dear Ney,—The French Republic has not sent an army to Rome to strangle Italian liberty, but, on the contrary, to regulate it, and preserve it from excesses, and on a solid basis to restore to the Pontifical throne the Prince who at the fit)t placed himself boldly at the head of all cs,ful reforms. " I learn %Lit pain that the benevolent intentions of the Holy Father, anti our own deeds, remain unfruitful in const.-quence of the influence of passion and ho,tile feelings. I; is wishcd to have as the basis of the Pope's return proscripti n and tyranny. Say, on my part, to General liostolan, that it cannot be permitted, under the shadow of the tricolour flag, to commit an act d,roga tory to the character of our intervention. " I sum up thus the re-esrablishment of the temporal power of the Pope —a general amnesty, the secularize. non of the Administration, the Ct.de Napoleon, and a liberal Government. " I have been personally hurt, on reading the procla mation of the three Cardinals, to see that it has not even made mention of the name of France, or of the sufferings of our bravo soldiers. Every insult offered to our flag or to our uniform goes right to my heart; and I beg you to make known to them that if France does not sell her services, she requires at least that she may have gratitude for her sacrifices and self-denial. "At the time when our armies made the tour of Europe, they left everywhere, as the traces of their pas sage, the germs of liberty, and the destruction of the abuses of the feudal system. It shall not be said that in 1849 a French army has acted in another manner and brought about another result. " Desire the General to thank the army in my name fur its noble conduct. I have learned with pain that even physically it has not been treated as it de served to be. " Nothing should be neglected to make our troops comfortable. " Receive, my dear Ney, the assurance of my sincere friendship. 1 " LOUIS NAPOL EON B ONAPARTE. " The effect produced at Rome by this admirable letter will be found stated in our Italian intelligence. In addition to what is there mentioned, we may observe that it is understood that an aide-de camp of the PRESIDENT has been dispatched to Rome for the purpose of depriving the Cardinals of ail further administrative authority. The Permanent Commission of the Legislative Assembly met on Thursday. The Minister of the Interior (M. MOLE), who had come expressly from his seat at Champlatreux, and General CUANGARNIER, were present. The affairs of Italy formed the subject of discus. sion.
