THE SUN, LONDON ) WEDNESDAY EVENING NOVEMBER 2, 042. UNION HALL.—(THIS DAY.) John Dunns; a sailor, was charged with crt,ating a disturbance in the Surrey Theatre. The defendant, who had just arrived from India, went to the Surrey Theatre on the preceding night, where he had not been long, before he commenced "Rule Britannia" duiing the perrormance. He was requested to desist, but instead of paying any regard to the caution, he sung out the louder, until at length a general cry of " Turn him out" resounded through the house. Jack, however, regardless of the " storm" that he had raised, changed the tune to that of " Yankee Doodle," and accompanied it by violently stamping on th 6 floor. He continued the disturbance until he was ejected, which took three men to accom plish before they got him out of the pit. Jack said that he had been abroad ten years, and that he was so delighted with all that was passing around him in the theatre, that he could not help expressing his delight by giving the national air. He added that he was a little " top heavy," or he should not have " run out so much cable." He was fined for an assault on the policeman, which he paid, and, giving a hitch up to hi s t ro users made an awkward bow and quitted the Court. THE IVIARKETS—(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The supplies of all sorts of Grain were small. Wheat was firm in value, with a fair demand for foreign. Barley, Beans, and Peas unvaried. Oats met a good de:nand at rather higher prices. The Flour trade was dull. ALA rtmitic, .ACCIDENT.—rGREENWICH, Nov. 1. — Yesterday afternoon, about four o'clock; an alarming accident occurred •O Lady Stopford, wife of Admiral Sir Robert Stopford, K.C:B., Governor of Green wich Hospital, and to the Hon. Miss StOpford. It appears that the ladies, with a female friend, were taking an airing in an open carriage over Blackheath, when, near to the residence of the Princess Sophia Matilda, the horses shied, as is supposed, at some of the donkies, and sprang over .a large mound by the side of the road. We . regret to say that the ladies were thrown out, and were more or less injured. Miss Stopford received the most serious injury, her face being cut by the gravel. The coachman and footman were thrown off the box, but escaped with some slight bruises. On the horses getting up, they struggled and kicked, nearly destroying the carriage, and, breaking : away with the splinter bar, dashed down Blackheath-hill, at a rapid rate, and were with great difficulty stopped. Lady Stopford and the other ladies were conveyed home in another carriage. The horses in her Ladyship's carriage were very much injured. On inquiring at Greenwich Hospital this morning, the reporter ascertained that Lady and Miss Stopford had not suffered more severely than at first conceived, and had recovered from the alarm occa- sinned Viscount () b the u y ntad Viscountess yesterday for Broadlanda, where a succession of visitors will be entertained during the ensuing week. Lord Brougham hss arrived in Grafton-street, from Brougham Hall, Penrith, and we believe his Lordship contemplates a visit to his estate at Cannes, in the south of France, before the meeting of Parliament. Lady Brougham, who has been passing six weeks at Leamington Spa for the improvement of her health, has also returned to town. HIGIIWAY ROBBERY.--On the evening of Saturday last, the following daring highway robbery, attended with violence, was committed on Wimbledon-com mon. It appears that as a journeyman carpenter, named William Byford, was returning to town from Kingston, he was, about eight o'clock, while crossing Wimbledon-common, attacked by two men, who pre senting pistols to his breast, with loud imprecations, demanded his money, and having robbed him of half. a-sovereign, as well as 1/. 6s. in silver, and a red and yellow handkerchief, took from him also two baskets of tools; with which they 5 0t clear off before he could raise an alarm. Byford is unable to give any other description of the men than that one was dressed in a dark great coat, and the other in a pilot coat. COWES, TUESDAY AFTERNOON. -1 nere has not been up to the present time, any intelligence of the British Queen steamer from New York to this port and Ant werp. Although she has been hourly expected here for some days past, her non-arrival did not cause any uneasiness, as it was announced in the papers that she would not leave New York until the 10th or 12th of October, instead of the 7th ; and although she ought to have been here last Thursday, even if she left on the 12th; her not arriving was accounted for on the supposition that she had delayed her departure from America be yond that date. It being now ascertained from the recent accounts from New York, that she left that port on her u su al day of sailing , the 7 th , some Friday-week, allow ing her fifte en d a y s f or h er passage' which was the a sh n e xi o e n ty gh i t s t f n el h t al as .e tboeetnhehecraeulsaestof her non-arrival, as exact time in which she made her two previous home ward-bound voyages.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. CHANCERY.-(THIS . DAY.) This was the first day of Michaelmas Term, but the Lord Chancellor did not sit in his Court at West minster, in consequence of having to attend the Privy Council at Windsor. VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England did not sit in his Court at Westminster to-day till nearly half-past one o'clock, in consequence of this being the first day of Michaelmas Term. His Honour, on taking his seat, stated that it was his intention to give judgment in the case of Scott v. Pascal, which was argued before the Court previous to the long vacation. Th© COURT then proceeded with motions. QUUEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY) (Sittings in Banco.) The Learned Judges, according to custom, break fasted with the Lord Chancellor, and afterwards pro ceeded in procession to Westminster Hall. Their Lordships did not take their seats upon the Bench until after one o'clock. APPLICATION FOR A CRIMINAL INFORMATION. THE QUEEN V. ROTHWELL. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL applied on behalf of the Mayor of Bolton for a rule calling upon Peter Bothwell, an inhabitant of the said borough, to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against him for using language tend ing to provoke a breach of the peace. From the affidavits, it appeared that the Mayor and the assessors of the borough of Bolton, held a Court for the revision of the burgess-lists of that borough. The name of Peter Rothwell, the defendant, which appeared on the lists, was objected to ; and on the case being heard, the Mayor and assessor decided that it ought to be struck out. The defendant, on a subsequent day, met the Mayor in the street, as he was proceeding to the Revision Court, when Rothwell addressed the Mayor, calling him a dirty scoundrel. The Mayor remonstrated with him, and offered to shake hands. Rothwell refused to shake hands, and again called the Mayor a dirty scoundrel. The affidavit went on to state that there could be no doubt but that Roth well had thus insulted the Mayor in consequence of the decision which he had given in the Revision Court, as previous to that decision Rothwell and the Mayor had been on friendly terms. He trusted that, in order to protect those who were entrusted with the administration of justice, the Court would grant the rule. Lord DENMAN—We do not think this is a casa calling for the interference of the Court. .• Rule refused. COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.) The Lord Chief Justice, with Justices Coltman, Maule, and Erskine, came into Court about half past one o'clock. PARKER V. 110PKINS.-TITHES! Mr. Sergeant -------- stated that this was an action :brought under the Tithe Commutation Act (England and Wales) to set aside an award made by the Commissioners of Tithe Commutation. The Act provided that when either party was dissa tisfied with an award of • the Commissioners for an amount exceeding 301., the parties so dissatisfied might bring the matter before any of her Majesty's Courts of Law at Westminster, provided the writ of summons be issued within one month from the date of the award complained of. In the present case two days had been allowed to elapse, and the Learned Sergeant applied for a rule nisi to enlarge the time.—Rule nisi granted. BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) Mr. Justice PATTESON took his seat on the Bench at about half-past one o'clock. FORD V. THE HON. GEORGE FOLEY. Mr. UDELL in this case moved for the enlargement of a rule granted last term, to postpone a trial in con sequence of the absence of some necessary witnesses. The action was for 1,0001., and the money was lodged in Court by the defendant. The application was founded upon affidavits, which stated that sub pcenas were endeavoured to be served on the wit nesses, but they were kept out of the way ; and it sought to have the rule enlarged for the purpose of serving the subpcenas. Mr. Justice PATTSON—Take a rule to show cause. EXCHEQUER COURT—THIS DAY. Lord Abinger, the Chief Baron, and the other Judges of the Court, took their seats on the bench shortly after one o'clock. JONES V. JONES. In this case Sir John Bailey moved for a rule to show cause why the peremptory undertaking should not be enlarged and proceedings staid. It appeared that in Easter term the defendant had been discharged on a peremptory undertaking to try the case at the last assizes for Cardigan. The plaintiff had given notice to try, but in consequence of the illness of a witnesslof the name of Jones, he countermanded the notice. He further stated, that since that time the witness Jones had died, and that he was ready to pro ceed to trial at the next assizes, if their Lordships should grant the present application. The COURT—Take a rule to show cause. DANKER AND OTHERS V. BURDIKAN. Mr. PLATT moved for a rule in this.case to show cause why the verdict of the Jury in this case should not be set aside, and a nonsuit entered, or a new trial had, or why, at all events, the sum should not be re duced to the amount brought into Court. The plaintiffs were the assignees of the Messrs. Potter, the extensive cotton-manufacturers of Man chester, and the defendant represented the Man chester Bank. The case had been tried at Liverpool at the last Assizes, before Mr. Justice Maule, when a verdict was given for the plaintiff, in the sum of 15,0001. The action had been brought in pursuance of an interpleader rule, which was be • fore the Court in Michaelmas term last. A fiat of bankruptcy had been issued against the Messrs. Potter ; but it was necessary to show that an act of bankruptcy had been commttted by each of the three Potters previous to the issuing of the fiat. The Learned Counsel ' now contended that no evi dence had been produced to that effect. With regard to James Potter, there could be no doubt but that he had committed various acts of bankruptcy. It appeared that with regard to Richard Potter there had been an execution against him in August, 1841, and that on the day following he had left Manchester for Ipswich, where he went to visit a son of his, a clergyman. It had been contended by the assignees, that he had thus committed an act of bankruptcy ; but the Jury upon the trial found that this was not an act of bankruptcy, and negatived the plea. It further appeared, how ever, that Richard Potter had, on the Bth of Sept., 1841, executed a deed,tand it was upon the validity of that execution that the present question rested. It was a deed of assignment, the language of which was couched to convey a joint property of part nership, but it, had never been executed by James Potter previous to the fiat. The Learned Counsel now contended that the deed - could not be executed by one only of the parties; and it was on this ground that the present application was made. The COURT, after some deliberation granted a rule to show cause. CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. The Lord Mayor and the Judges sat this morning at eleven o'clock in this Court, for the purpose of fix ing the days for holding the Sessions for the ensuing Mayoralty. The Judges present were Mr. Baron Parke, Mr. Baron Alderson, 'Mr. Justice Pattison, Mr. Baron Gurney, Mr. Justice Williams, Mr. Jus tice Coleride, Mr. Justice Coltman, Mr. Justice Maule, Mr. Justice Erskine, Mr. JuStice Cresswell, and Mr. Baron Rolfe. Their Lordships appointed the following days for folding the Sessions for the ensuing Mayoralty : Monday, 28th November, 1842; Monday, 12th December, 1842 ; Monday, 2d January, 1843; Monday, 30th anuary; Monday, 27th Feb ruary; Monday, 3d April ; Monday, Bth May; Mon day, 12th June; Monday, 3d July; Monday, 21st August; Monday, 18th September; Monday, 23d October.—The Court then adjourned. NEW. COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK.) CONSPIRACY.—Frederich Shachelfield, Charles Syd ney Smith, and Goswell, were indicted with con spiring together, and with other persons, to defraud several tradesmen in the City of London. The case is similar to the one that was tried at the end of the last Session in the Old Court, and appears likely to occupy the Court to a late hour, as there are no less than five counsel engaged, and fourteen counts in the indictment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE MARYLEBONE.—(THIS DAY.) Frederick Sinclair and James Richards,_ two well dressed young men; were brought before Mr. Rawliri son on a charge of drunkenness, and disturbing the inhabitants of Norfolk-street. It appeared in evidence that the defendants, with another who :vas not taken into custody, had been out late last night at some convivial party, and when coming through the above street, at half-past one this , morning, they began amusing themselves by pulling bells, rapping at knockers, shouting " fire," and other gentlemanly pleasantries f the same description. The inhabitants of the street were roused from bed, and the policeman with some difficulty get them to the station-house. The defendants denied the charge, but as they had no witnesses to disprove the staten.ents alleged against them, they were fined 20s. each, Which paying they lwere .discharged. • • , . STATES-GENERAL OF HOLLAND.. ITAGU,E, Nov. I.—A deputation of the two Chambers presented yesterday to his Majesty the fol lowing answer of the Chambers to the Speech from the Throne : Sire,—The States-General have received with sen timents of lively sympathy the communication of the marriage of your Majesty's beloved daughter to the Hereditary Duke of Saxe Wiemar. We ardently hope that this union will contribute to the happiness of a beloved Princess, and we are certain that when she attains the Crown to which she is called, she will not forget a country which was so dear to her. The Netherlands are constantly in need of repose and peace. We have therefore learned with satisfac tion from your Majesty that our relations with Fo reign Powers continue to be distinguished by recipro cal friendship and good will. It is extremely agreeable to us to receive from your Majesty the assurance that the Plenipotentiaries of the Netherlands and Belgium have agreed on the basis of a convention, the result of which will be the complete fulfilment of the Treaty of London. After the long negotiations between the two coun tries, we hope that your Majesty will shortly be able to communicate to us the treaty concluded, and as it is highly important for the Netherlands and Belgium to be on terms of good neighbourhood, we are per suaded that the treaty, if faithfully executed, will con tribute to favour the -commercial intercourse between the two countries. We repeat our wish that the leery necessary regu lations of the financialinterest of the Grand Duchy of Luxemburgh may be speedily terminated. The Netherlands owe their origin and their great ness to the navy, and though the revenues of the State will hardly permit an increase of expense, we must never forget that a navy on a respectable footing is in dispensable for the defence of the country and of our colonies. We recommend this important point to your Majesty's constant solicitude, and we hope that a judicious employment of the means granted will contribute to amelioration of our navy. We have learned with satisfaction that the best means have been adopted to place the defence of the country on a good footing. Every Netherlander has always been ready to sa crifice his fortune and his blood for the defence of the country and the preservation of its independence. The same sentiments animate them now, and if circumstances should require it, your Majesty would find the States-General ready to contribute, as far as they are concerned, to the uttermost of their power. However, we are firmlypersuaded that your Majesty's Government, in consideration of the present situation of the finances of the State, will agree with us that no greater expense can be employed for this purpose than is strictly necessary. We look forward with interest to the projects of law on the militia and the communal guards, as well as the proposals which will be made to us to regulate the affairs of the Benevolent Society. We shall exa mine the second book of the penal code with the scrupulous attention which the importance of the subject demands. We hope that the draft of the new tariff of import, export, and transit duties, will be sufficiently advanced to be shortly communicated to us for our discussion. We expect that on this subject it will not be forgotten that moderate and protecting duties contribute to the general prosperity, and are advantageous to the Treasury. We cannot conceal from your Majesty the wish that the Government may be soon able to submit to our examination the new projects of law on the electoral system. They are of the utmost importance, and we are firmly persuaded, that in conjunction with a strict observance of the principles of the Con stitution, there will be a liberal, but at the same time prudent application of these same principles. We rejoice to learn that our East Indian possessions enjoy a state of tranquillity. We flatter ourselves that the Government will succeed, by the application of. prudent measures, in repairing the injury which has been occasioned in those possessions by the shock given to the system of credit. We hope that an im provement in the price of colonial produce will allow of an increase of the resources which the mother country derives from the contribution of the East Indies, without, however, increasing this contri bution so as to interfere with the expenses necessary for the interest of the colonies themselves. We again recommend to your Majesty the situa tion of the West Indies. Their prosperity is dimi nished, their productions continue to be overburdened with import duties. It is just and desirable that measures should be at length taken to promote their interests. We acknowledge with your Majesty the necessity of improving the organization of the police. It is a question of a very delicate nature, which must be treated with all possible care, and with extreme' cir cumspection. We learn with satisfaction the flourishing state of the arts and sciences. Public instruction ought to be a constant subject of the solicitude of the Government, and your Ma jesty will always find us ready to contribute to it if necessary, by legislative measures. The situation of the poor is worthy of the entire attention of your Majesty. It must be confessed that pauperism is increasing among us. Let us hope, then, that the measures which will be resolved upon by your Majesty will attain the desired object, and preserve the Netherlands from the necessity of im posing special taxes on this subject. We cannot conceal from your Majesty that the an nounced deficit has excited our solicitude in the highest degree. We hope that in the approaching biennial budget the means for providing for the expenses will be cal culated with more accuracy, and that in the estimates the chances, which are unfavourable, will be scrupu lously considered, as well as those which are fa vourable. The burden of our debt is so heavy that an in crease of it can hardly be thought of. By the economy which may be speedily introduced by the simplifica tion of everything that can be simplified, by a more equal repartition of the taxes, which should require a larger Contribution from the wealthy inhabitants of the country, we hope to attain the desired object of seeing the expenditure provided for by the receipts. When this course is followed, when the scrupulous investigations of the Chamber:of Accounts shall have exercised a just control over all the finances of the kingdom, we may then prevent for the future a deficit, and perhaps think, under more happy circum stances, of a diminution of the public debt. But all our efforts (we urgently dwell on this point) must be directed to this object, setting aside all par- Lcular interest, and keeping in view only the general good. The revisal of the pensions, &c., is immediately connected with this point; and we trust that the next biennial budget, and the new projects of law on pensions, will irrefragably prove a desire to promote the general interest. . Our entire attention will soon be called to this biennial budget. We comprehend that when the con tributions from our colonial possessions are insuffi cient, new means must be employed to provide for the necessary expenses. We expect, with interest, the projects of law on this subject, and will sericusly examine them. We too, Sire, have no more ardent wish than to assist in alle viating the burdens which bear upon the people; but we cannot suppress the fear that the diminution in the amount of some taxes and the fall in the price of Co lonial produce will not allow us at this moment to think of a general reduction of those burdens. We shall be happy to receive the accounts of the receipt and expenditure of the kingdom for 1841, and the preceding years. We hope, at the same time, that the account 'for the present year, to be concluded by the Chamber of Accounts will be drawn up with clearness, and be accompanied by a detailed account of the employment of the means, to be laid before us in convenient time, so that we may be enabled, by this co mmunication, to become acquainted w ith the real wants of the Treasury. To heal the wounds of the past, to improve our present unfavourable situation, is the noble task reserved for your Majesty. The agree ment of the Sovereign with the Representatives of the nation may certainly contribute to it; the Govern ment likewise co-operates by defending the general interest on immutable principles, holding with a I.in hand the reins of the State, and maintaining order and regularity in all the branches of the Admi nistration. The States-General are ready to second your Ma jesty in everything that may contribute to the well understood interests of a people whose love and at tachment to the august house of Orange are the best reward for the indefatigable care which your Majesty devotes to their welfare.

The Nat;onal publishes the following letter from Marshal Soult, Minister of War, to General Pajol, announcing to the General that he has been displaced in the command of the First Military Division " 30th October, 1842. " General,--I have the honour to inform you, that by a decision taken the 29th of October, 1842, the King has superseded you in the command of the First Military Division, and placed you en disponibilite. " In announcing to you this arrangement, I cannot but express the regret I feel, that you did not re spond by acquiescence to the desire I feel to procure for you a situation that his Majesty was disposed to grant you. I should have been happy to have seen you the object of a particular manifestation of the King's high satisfaction for your honourable and an cient services. You will surrender the command of the First Division to Lieutenant-General Count Se bastiani, appointed to succeed you in this command. I have given orders that you be paid at Paris, your place of residence, the amount to which you are entitled. " Receive, General, the assurance of my most dis inguished consideration. • , " The President of the Council, Ministary Secre tary of State for the War Department, " Marshal Duke of DALMATIA." " It would be difficult," adds the National. " to ex plain the brutal order which strikes General Pajol, and the form, no less brutal, in which it is couched. General Pajol always served the Government with zeal, but the doctrinary Cabinet cannot forget that he was one of the first to embrace the cause of the revolution of 1830. That fact was sufficient to ren der him suspected, notwithstanding all his services. It appears, moreover, that M. Jacqueminot having been appointed Commander of the National Guard, desired that a man whose services would place his own in the shade should not be maintained in the command of the division, and before whom he would have reason to blush. One of M. Jacqueminot's qua lities, and which renders him dear to the juste milieu party, is, that he is afraid of Foreign Powers, he himself having so declared at a large meeting of electors. General Pajol is not animated with the same sentiments. From this fact there consequently existed an incompatibility of temper between the commander of the troops of the line and him of the National Guard of the department of the Seine. The necessary intercourse between those persons would have been unpleasant for both. It was then deter. mined to dismiss the old servant of the republic and the empire, the man who (a serious crime now-a-days) never would wear a white cockade, and who is cogni sant of the manner in which a fallen monarch was compelled to travel to Cherbourg. We have been told, and Marshal Soult's letter confirms our informa tion, that a long negotiation was carried on with the General, in order to induce him to accept the place of Aid-dc-Camp to the King. Some skilful and hitherto successful advocates endeavoured to induce him to ac cept the appointment; but he firmly refused, and the authorities could not dissemble their bad temper. This explains to us the brutal, unceremonious letter of Marshal Soult, and the disgrace which it inflicts upon a General officer covered with wounds, at the very moment when drawing-room Colonels arrive at the first rank, both in the National Guard and in the regular army." THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. LIVERPOOL, Nov. 1. The eighth municipal election for sixteen new officers to serve in the Town-council took place this day, and has terminated in the return of thirteen Tories and three Reformers. BEVERLEY, Nov. I.—THREE O'CLOCK. Six Liberal candidates were elected without oppo sition. The Tories durst not, after their signal defeat last year, show fight on this occasion. They have lost four more seats in the Town-council, which now consists of twenty Reformers and four Tories. A procession is now parading the town, accompanied with banners and music, playing "0, dear, what can the matter be." In Beverley the accession of a Tory Government has done wonders. The Tories are obliged to acknowledge that their present Member of Par liament will have no chance at another election, and that the return of two Liberals is certain. BIRMINGHAM, Nov. 1. Elections took place to-day in the various wards for members of the Town-council, when nearly the whole of the seats were manfully and successfully contested by Complete Suffrage candidates. The old Councillors who took the suffrage pledge were un opposed; but all who refused were rejected by the Association, and when they went to the poll com pletely defeated. It is certainly deemed a most im portant triumph, and I think it may be fairly taken as a proof of the daily increasing power of the Asso ciation. LICHFIELD, Nov. 1. STATE OF THE POLL. NORTH WARD.

The gallery has been crowded during the past week with fashionable au diences. Mr. Jones has made another addition to his dissolving views, by a Portrait of Nelson and a View of Langollen, both painted by Acres. The Dissolving Views are accompanied by songs expressive of the scene, which have a very pleasing effect. PROPOSED EXTENSION OF THE BRIGHTON RAIL WAY.—A survey is now in progress for the continua tion of the Brighton Railway, by means of a coast line, to the towns of Chichester and Worthing. The cost of the line, it is conceived, will be but small, as the country through which it runs is of a level nature. The plans and sections of the proposed line have already been deposited with the clerk of the peace, and it is the intention of the Brighton Company, in the next session of Parliament, to apply for a Bill to carry out the line, the expense of constructing which, according to the engineering estimates, will not exceed 15,000/. per mile. The project is supported by his Grace the Duke of Norfolk, and by Mr. John Abel Smith, M.P. _ SUDDEN DEATH THROUGH JOY.-011 Sunday last 1 ' an awful instance of sudden death occurred at Dieppe to Mrs. Whichelo, wife of Mr. Whichelo, an English gentleman residing at Dieppe.

The works for raising the Telemaque from the ground, where she has so long lain, off Quillebeetif, are, according to the Journal du avre, going on slowly, but surely. Her hull is within three feet of the surface at low water, and is kept ready in that po sition. As the river at this spot is only about 29 feet deep, and the vessel measures in her own depth 21 feet 6 inches, she must have been raised already above four feet from the bottom. A man has walked on her side, as she lies, from one end of her to the other, having the water no higher than his waist. All the tackle holds strong and steady. At the date of the last accounts Mr. Taylor was engaged in arranging the apparatus, so as to act with greater force, and is said to have declared that, in four days, the Tele maque would be above water. FEARFUL ODDS.—Corvisart, a French physician of some celebrity during the latter portion of the last century, was once lamenting, in company, the pre mature death of Dr. Backer. " It was not, at all events, for want of medical aid that he died," said he, " for in the last days of his illness we, Halle, Portal, and myself, did not quit him for an instant."

TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 12} per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3/..175. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 25 46k, and the exchange at Paris on Lon don at short being 25 65, it follows that gold is - 0.74 per cent. dearer in, London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh, the price of gold Is 433 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10d. per ounce for'standard g.old, gives an exchange of 13 9, and the exchange - at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 10i, it follows that gold is 0.68 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgli. The course of exchange at New York on London is 108 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 1.57 per cent. ara_inst England ; but th e quo t e d exc h ange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted from the above difference. • No event of the kind has produced a stronger feel ing of uneasiness among men of property than the ruin of the B an k o f Manchester, and the w i sh is be coming general th a t it may lea d to a review of the whole system of joint-stock banking, with some bet ter protection from its consequences both to the shareholders and the public. A Correspondent, who professes to have examined carefully several of their charters and deeds of settlement, observe as follows : " Some of the charters are admirable in their bind• ineprecautions, but there is no penalty ixed upon di rectors, managers, or officers, for any 'delinquency be yond that which falls upon the innocent, because ne cessarily ignorant, Shareholdeis. The deeds of settle ment bind the Shareholders ; he Directors, Mana gers, and officers, are carefully hedged from every danger and penalty, because any delinquent Director has only (taking advantage of his knowledge) to sell his shares and resign; then he is free from every con sequence ; never was there more iniquitous inequality than that which exists between Director and Share holder. " The reason of all this is evident. The lawyers who frame the deeds are most frequently Directors, and always officers. So long as the bank is pros perous, they hold large shares, selling at premium ; their knowledge enables them to retract in time. They have only to take care that the charter or deed of settlement saddles no responsibility on Directors or officers. " Private bankers are bound, in person and pro perty, to their customers and the public. Joint-stock bank Directors, on the contrary, can play fast and loose. If this iniquitous system is longer permitted, it will extend swindling through every grade of English society. Responsibility must be fixed by law ; the Shareholders (who pay in honest gold) must be protected. For what are Directors but trustees of property committed to their skill, honesty and care? No man is forced into responsibility—no man is forced to be Director. " All that is required is, that Directors, Managers, and officers of joint-stock banks shall be placed under exactly the same responsibility as private bankers. No ignorant or improper persons will then thrust themselves into pay or place ; they must all know their business, and be active, not sleeping partners, and men whose minds and property are in the bank. The same energy, watchfulness, and care, that indi viduals exercise, will then be insured to the public." The injury to Shareholders in many cases extends far beyond the loss of their stake in the bank, and hence the liquidation of the assets of the Bank of Manchester is watched by all concerned with a very anxious degree of interest. Should they fail to realise the amount at which they are valued, which the most sanguine hardly anticipate, many of the shareholders must be made bankrupts, as has hap pened before in similar cases, for no honest man will allow his separate creditors to be defrauded, in order to make good his liabilities as Shareholder of a joint stock bank. The consequence will be the breaking up of establishments and the ruin of families innu merable. It is believed by many persons that unless the liquidation of the assets should turn out a very favourable one, the depositors and other creditors of the Bank of M anchester are by no means safe. The following is an extract of a letter from another Correspondent on the same subject : " I quite agree with you in thinkink that the Share holders in Joint-stock banks are in need of legislative protection. As a means by which this might, in a, great measure, be obtained, perhaps the following suggestion may merit attention. Most Joint-stock banks have what is denominated a `guarantee fund,' which is an accumulation of the surplus profits, after paying reasonable dividends ; but under the present system this 'fund' is only nominally a guarantee•and nothing more, for it may be, and almost invariably is, used in the current business of the bank, and con sequently sometimes, as in the case of the Bank of Manchester, totally lost. Now, I would propose that' this fund should, in the strictest sense of the word, bo made a guarantee, by a law being passed whereby the Directors and Managers would be compelled to invest the surplus profits declared at each periodical balance in the public funds, and that such investments should not be appropriated in any way whatever, without the sanction and signatures of four-fifths of the Shareholders. I would have these investments continued until at least one-half of the subscribed capital was accumulated, , and every investment duly notified in the newspapers. POST.-=-It is said that a project is in contempla tion, pu rpose of which is to secure the payment of the the dividends on the newly-issued Three per Cent. Spanish Stock for a period of five years, and that a gentleman well versed in financial matters, and with the feelings of the English public towards Spain, has left London for Madrid, in order to make to the Government there an offer of the means required for the accomplishment of such an object, which he will do in the name of several wealthy capitalists. How far the proposition may meet the views of Senor Calatrava seems doubtful, the terms upon which it is to be made remaining to be developed. An opinion cannot there fore, for the moment, be hazarded upon it; but there can be no hesitation in saying, that to secure the holders of the Three per Cent. Stock their interest money for five years would be a step that could not fail to contribute to the advancement of the national credit of Spain, and to give satisfaction to at least one portion of the claimants on her exchequer. It is to be hoped, however, that the gentleman alluded ne n c a es final s c i i ty n o e f g a o t t t i e a n t d i o i n n g w , it a s h u a t p a re f p u ara ll c th on ry vic ni ti e o a n . to has not departed for the Spanish capital to en t er of th n e a sure, to the long neglected condition of the Treasury bill-holders, and that he will, during his stay there,' use his endeavours to awake n th e Mi n i s t er to a j ust sense of the injury under which this class of the fo reign creditors labour. The Treasury bills are six' years over due to-day, and, to attempt to revive con fidence while they remain in abeyance must prove nugatory. The sentiments of the individual on this question are well known in London, and he will act wisely in putting Senor Calatrava in possession of the truth. More sacred claims do not, as he is aware, exist, and hence the obloquy that has been east upon those Ministers, the predecessors of the present head of the hacienda, by whom the guarantees under which they were issued have been so shamelessly violated.
