All because we persist in staking our existence on the possession of gold, and at the same time in supporting a law that renders it impossible we should permanently retain it. I say the law prevents the possibility of our keeping possession of the gold. Gold money and paper money will not for any length of time circulate together at equal values. There are two distinct values in the coin—the legal tender value and the metallic value, and these dio not coincide, but vary inversely to each other. Thus, supposing a large quantity of metal to be taken up by the Mint to be coined and issued, the bullion would become scarcer and rise in value, while the legal tender would become more abun dant, and fall in value. By the Coroner—There was a kitchen belonging to the next house at the back of the kitchen of the house occupied by witness, and there was a copper place against the wall. The flue of that copper passed through tiie back. of a cupboard in his kitchen. The wall between the rooms consisted of 4-inch brickwork, and woodwork let in between the bricks. He was of opinion the fir• was caused by the flue of the copper being so near the cup board. He had not had a a fire in his kitchen for a long time. Do. Cert. of Deben.,l con. into Stk. till 13 Do.

Mr. Hill says I have not pointed out any way of con ferring a definite value on mere pieces of paper. Mr. Hill has not read my letter. The value of :egal tender paper is not special, as is a dock warrant, but uni versal in its ministration to the great human necessity of cancelling debt, and therein has a value perfectly in dependent of the law that makes it convertible into a fixed quantity of gold ; inconvertible legal tender minis tering to an equal want will have an equal value. Its value as legal tender will vary, like all other articles of prime necessity exactly in proportion to its abundance or scarcity ; and to regulate its value it is only neces sary to regulate its quantity, which the present law deranges. How to regulate the quantity we will see hereafter. Conversion of money into merchandise is barter. Con ♦ersion of money into any one particular article is a monopoly of barter, at variance with all sound p'rinciple, and having the additional trifling objection that it is a physical impossibility to convert all debts into one article. •epa:r. Captain Sherard Osborne, who so gallantly distin ;uisbed himself during the operations in the Sea of N.zoff, and Captain R. Lambert, also distinguished for ,is services in that sea, haue just arrived in London p from At Melbourne, when coin had become very scarce, an ounce of coined gold actually commanded an ounce and a third of uncoined gold of equal fineness. the East. The gunboat Seagull, Lieut. Montagu O'Reilly com manding, left Woolwich dockyard basin yesterday morn ing and steamed down to the Arsenal :wharf, where she has been provided with her complement of shot, shell, and ammunition. The Seagull is armed with four 68 and 32-pounder guns and rwo 121 b. howitzers. She has embarked 30 empty shells, 3 ckests of small arms, powder, tubes, fuses, small stores, &c., besides as much live shell as could be stowed on board with convenience. She will bo ready to proceed to Sheerness forthwith. Another gun-boat of the same species arrived yesterday morning at Woolwich from the contractor's yard, and will be coppered end fitted out without delay. The Bull frog and Carnation gun-boats at Deptford are taking in guns and stores from Woolwich Arsenal, and will be completed about Friday, so as to join the rendezvous at Sheerness. The Rhadamanthus, Master-Commander Petley, has arrived at Woolwich from Plymouth and Portsmouth ; and also the Vixen, Master• Commander Pym, from the same ports. The Vixen fell in near Portsmouth with a barge heavily laden with cooking stoves, and being unable to proceed from stress of wea ther, the Vixen towed her into the Downs. She like wise put into Sheerness and landed 20 supernumeraries for the dockyard service. Seventy-four invalids arrived yesterday from Ports mouth at Chatham, in medical charge of Civil Surgeon Dr. Gibbon. Second-class Surgeon John Graves, as sisted by Francis Hide Forshall, inspected the men. The sick were taken into Brompton Hospital, the remainder to St Mary's Barracks. The above came home in the ship Canadian from Malta. 3 3 2/ 1 - 3i 24 24j 2i -23 p 98 - 100 115 - 111 116 120 While the monopoly we have assigned to gold raises its value as metal, the issue of legal tender paper, making legal tender more abundant, lowers the value of the legal tender. The price of the gold being fixed by the law which binds the Bank to take all the gold offered at 3/. 17s. 9d., and to pay it out at 3/. 17s. 10l J d., this alternation in value of money is, for a time, only indicated by the rise iu value of all other articles. This rise stimulates large exports. The importer looks around for his returns, all commodities have risen. We are under no engagement to supply iron, lead, tin, or any other article at a fixed price, except gold. We thus bribe the foreigner to take our gold instead of our goods. The gold being gone the Bank is compelled to reduce her issues of paper. Eight hundred private aid joint-stock banks are instantly afflicted with the cramp, and seek to lock up the remaining money by increasing their reserves. Now, as unreduced debts cannot be paid by re duced money, this phasis of our system is equiva lent to a general decree of loss or insolveney against all who by commercial enterprise have been con tributina to the welf are o f t h e country. Just at 'r ' this moment the watchful Times advises caution, recommends all to limit their transactions, which means limiting employment, which is limiting the life of the labourer. It is equi va l en t a! r e k a h t o i o u n s e through orto yu t o he r land, gra " Now g e t y e v e No other t l o ca th P r el ow resource is left to the labourer thrown out of etn ployinent by this fatal system. " Even the press, the tard igrade press generally, is beginning to inquire into sy stem which bec omes daily more incompatible with the advances of com mercial civilisation. By a Juror—The next house was an eating-house, and the night of the tire was the first time of the shop being opened. There had been a fire in the copper, as the per sons cooked the joints in it they sold. Mr. R. Henderson, foreman of the D district of the fire brigade, deposed that he was called to the fire about 2 o'clock on Thursday morning, and on his arrival found No. 25 in flames. After the fire he made an examina tion of the next house, No. 24 . There was a copper in the back kitchen, which stood against the wall, and was sit in brick-work and cement, the back being fixed to the wall. The wall between the kitchens of Nos. 24 and 25 was what was called a brick-noggin, consisting of about 4 inches of brickwork and tim ber. He then went into Mr. Bygrave's kitchen (No. 25) and found a hole in the wall that he was enabled to put his arm through, and which led right into the fire-place or furnace of the copper in the next house. He produced a piece of wood partially burnt, which he discovered fixed in the wall, just below the hole he had mentioned. By the Coroner—He had no doubt the fire was caused by the piece of wood he had produced catching light from the furnace of the copper being so near. Mr. Thomas Cooke, of Sarah Anne-street, St. Mary, Newington, said he was a practical builder, and had examined the premises. He saw the copper alluded to by Mr. Henderson. The furnace extended to about 2 fret 6 inches or 2 feet 9 inches under the pan or copper to where the flue began. The furnace was composed of four-inch !brick work on the right side, or next to the kitchen, but on the side of the wall there was merely the brick noggin partition. The fire was caused by the draught carrying the flame round the pan to where the piece of wood was found. Shares Do. Now Do.

I myself ant weary of what Lord Liverpool was pleased to call the stern path of duty. Listen, most gracious Editor, to your amiable enthusiast. Let us boil our peas and finish our pilgrimage in comfort. The regulation of our system by the exchange gives us no timely warning ; the train of mischief is all laid be fore it is possible to detect it ; there is no escap - from the explosion ; the withdrawal of the papa money simultaneously with the gold money is a dout,le curse, and it comes like remorse, that punishes, but does not prevent our errors. _ _ 41 - 5 41 - 41 35i - 951 12 -12 t 6 - 7 45 -45 i Patrick Fi;IT.II, contractor, Broughton Works, Salford.

The draughts from the provisional battalion depots at Limerick, Templemore, Fermoy, Birr, and Mullingar will embark at Cork in the course of th present week, to to join the service companies of their regiments at the seat of war. The total number consists of of 8 captains, 78 subalterns, 31 sergeants, 24 drummers, and 1,279 rank and file. Intelligence bas been received of the death in the Crimea of Lieut. E. P. Marshall, of the Royal Artillery, son of Lieut.-Colonel Marshall, for many years Military Secretary at Gibraltar. He was only in his 18th year. The immediate cause of his death was bilious fever.

Deprive gold of its monopoly as a sole ultimate legal tender, and thereby restore it to its natural value ; cease to use it as a coin, and then it may serve as a point of comparison for your legal tender paper. Its rise or fall in price, other things equal, will instantly indicate the r o e a t eynd p eot r iwe e t Rill not rise an d f a ll i n your legal tender paper, before a general rise i n pr i ces has stimulated general importations and turned u rned the bal ance - o f t ra d e aga i nst us ; th ere w ill th en b mi i umon in th t e he es l p e o as rt t at d io eg n r o ee f gold, and if it isour fu. doI oe monetaryxgp not exported pretend to fix what price of golf will be a just standard. I assume — that in any case the standard must be made subservient to life and happiness, and that life and happi ness must not be sacrificed to the standard ; That a limited issue of legal tender paper will sustain !its value, and that a sufficient issue will insure the full 'empioyment of labour, creating the greatest amount of national wealth, and will also caus e th e greatest amount of national happiness, by its just distribution ; That it will sustain a regular range.of prices propor tionate to the cost of production, securing honest indue. try from oppression, and limiting insolvency to folly and vice. Happen what will the full employment of labour must be secured ; this is at once the first duty, the first right, and the keystone of social order. I have assumed thes9 things as self-evident axioms ; if you can throw a doubt on them I am perfectly ready to inflict on you the tediousness of demonstration. forbidsi' he p o u n b e l i c o r w i notll cou ment of industrial power a dawn of hope b ri g hter t han r d e a s d h a o o loning the letter, regulated and your d e e s e p l a ocpe. your imagination dreams of; for the present the Bank continues to lose its gold and withdraw its paper---usury how far 18 millions of Bank issue is from panic point , triumphs, and industry languishes.

Police-oonstable 7d, stated that the fire.escape was about eight minutes before it arrived ; but the conductor could not get down the Mint, and had, therefore, to go through Lant-street. The conductor of the escape saw a woman and two children on the roof of the house, and brought one child down by holding it by its clothes with his teeth, and another under his arm. The conductor of the fire-escape corroborated the evi dence of the last witness, and also that he caved three other persons besides those described by the police-con stable. ••• ••• .1 in Do..

Suddenly Whitehead drew a small dagger, and stabbed Jackson in the chest and Sergeant in the hack, the point of the weapon striking the should er -bl ade and be co ming bent with the force of the blow. He was then seen to throw the. dagger•over a wall, where it was, afterwards found.

Cottle showed witness the copper, and told him to set it i❑ as little compass as possible. He (witness) sounded the wall with his hammer, and thought it was composed of bricks. It never occurred to him that it was a brick noggin, although he ought to have kmocked the plaster down to see whether it was or not. He was extremely sorry after what had occurred that he did not ascertain whe ther it was a brick wall. The Coroner, in Su mating up, pointed out that the fire bad evidently occurred through the negligence which the man Canlton owned to have been guilty of, and the jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter against Everett Ct. rlton.' The Coroner was about to cc mmit Carltsn to Newgate, but the foreman and another of the jury offered to be come I ail for his appearance, and he was ultimately allowed to leave the court.

Grey to bring into immediate , operation the act of last session for enforcing payment from the criminal parents of juvenile offenders towards the cost of their support in reformatories. We learn that Sir G. Grey has appointed Mr. W. Morgan, of Binning- Law, a professional gentleman who has shown great ia terest in the subject of the improved treatment of juve nile crime, the important functions of agent to the Secre tary of State, for the purpose of taking proceedings under the act. This appointment extends over the counties in cluded in the Midland, Oxford, and Western Circuits, and includes nearly all the principal reformatories at present established in Great Britain. The enforcement of contributions will be doubtless " a heavy blow and great discouragement " to the neglectful practice of too many parents whose offspring are now a burden to the State. BIRTHS.
