We requested on Sunday last the indulge e,ififsdr-Vi 4- 47 readers until this day, when we promised to - / them authentic particulars of this peculiar c now redeem that promise. - 3 - crt , ' The observations which have been made by the ` -, A . tay Times, the Morning Herald, and the Age, have elicited from the Morning Post, a defence of Lord Chesterfield more remarkable for its gentlemanly tone, than for its discretion. We feel as perfectly certain that the writer of this defence believes every syllable he has stated, as we do that a portion of it is not entitled to belief—and our objection therefore will be solely direCted to a refutation of that part of it which we know to be unfounded on fact. When we find it asserted, evidently by a partisan of the Earl of Chesterfield,. that he was repeatedly " importuned" by the Count Bathyany to become a trustee to this set tlement of 3001. per annum on the Count's mis tress, we are bound to enter upon the subject even more minutely than we intended to do, that we may not only rebut a statemeit so utterly incorrect, but place the clear truth before those at all interested in the business. j ONDON and BRIGHTON RAILWAY• st , The Postmaster-General having countermanded the in brr2. tions for eonveying the Night-mail from .London to' 1 , 1 .. 6 j bton by a Train at 8 30 P.M., the said Train will be DIS irMTINUED on and after the Ist of DECEMBER, and the I_ Three rev►ens Train arrangements will be - RESUMED, by running o'Clock Down-Train D.dly from London, and the r ast ' s P i -Train from Brighton at Six, rac, instead of Half.

As great an insight into the Manners, Habits, and Cus toms of this most singular people, may be gained by a few hour's attentive investigation of the SPLENDID COLLECTION in the SALOON at HYDE PARK-CORNER, as could be acquired by a voyage to China. This is , now brought home to our doors at an expense of 2s. 6d.—The latter could be acquired only by an outlay of seve ral hundred pounds.

In conformity with this view, he has posted the following at Garraway's . Coffee-house : " Sale-room, Garraway's, London, Nov. 25. " In order that the buyers of colonial wool may be under no misapprehension as to the terms on which we offer the goods set forth in our catalogues, we deem it due to them to explain the construction we put on the second condition of sale; at the same time, however, disclaiming any intention of arguing dis puted points with them, "The goods are to be taken with all faults and de fects, of whatever kind—false package manifestly ex cepted; and , thus far we presume we are agreed. But here we may be at issue with some gentlemen as to the meaning of ' false package ;' we recognise, then, as coming within this limit, only such cases as where locks, grease, stone, iron, &c., shall be found so packed or concealed, as that no ordinary examina tion of the bales shall be able to detect, and, there fore, so placed with an evident intention to defraud. We do not recognise as coming within this limit such cases as that set forth in a paper recently drawn up, and read yesterday in this room, as thero the owner takes the risk of selling by the inferior end of the bale, and we know multitudes of instances where such has been the case ; this we distinctly state on our own, as well as on the authority of some buyers themselves. We are further satisfied that the plan we have adopt ed, of sampling at one end and showing at the other, must, for the future, meet such cases; and here, again, we are backed by the opinion of some influen tial buyers, as also the whole of the sellers.

At the commence ment of their liaison, when the Count's hat - and other matters of clothing were duly hung up in Bolton-row, he paid a mass of debt amounting to 1,5001. or 1,6001. —incurred while she was under the protection of ANOTHER ! presented her also with a carriage, and csrtain matters of jewellery. Having then intimated to the Count that she was without any fixed income, he generously consented to the settlement now in dis pute. To the payment of this annual stipend there never would have been a question raised but for sub sequent circumstances, to which it is imperative on us to refer. _ _ The present charter of the Bank of England dates from the Ist of August, 1834, and is for 21 years, but gives, by the fifth clause, an option to the Govern ment of putting an end to the charter upon giving one year's notice within six months after the expira tion of ten years from the above date ; and the char ter might, consequently, be reclaimed early in the year 1840 ; if that period is passed over, the charter 'will go on to the full term, expiring in 1855, after which, if no new charter is entered into, the exclusive privileges may be terminated at any time by giving a year's notice. The concurrence of the . Bank itself in any new measure to he introduced is not impossible, as means might be found to make it acceptable to that corporation ; but the more probable issue is, that the Government would have opposition to encounter from that quarter, and therefore it will be wise to be pre pared for the worst that may happen by as early a commencement of operations as possible. It will be at once courteous to the Bank, and beneficial to the public, to disclose as soon as possible any policy that may be adopted towards that institution.

For the last 15 years I have been bald, occasioned by a most dread ful fever whilst in India. I have used almost every means to procure a head of hair again, but all my efforts seemed fruitless, until, accidentally a friend advised the use of your va:uable Hair Restorer —(I can give it no better name), and, after using a 3s. 6d. bottle, every symptom of a new head of hair began to show itself, to the joy, not only of myself, but my children. I resolved on having another, and obtained a 7s. bottle, and, before the whole of which was used, I bad, and have now, as handsome a head of hair as ever'man 'enjoyed, and I earnestly recommend all who have not tried this most excellent Oil, not to fail to do so.—l am, Sirs, your most grateful and obedient servant, J.

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—Except the late Lord Durham's parting Rroclamation from Canada, we do not remember so rpikless a State-paper as this of Lord Ellenborough fiirn Simla. The anarchy of the Affghan tribes will find a parallel in the British monarchy, if every tem- 4 porary holder of power delegated from the Sovereign is allowed to entertain " surrounding States" with the faults and follies of his Queen's Government, whenever the actual or former policy of that Go vernment does not suit his opinions. There is ad ministrative anarchy, not constitutional government, where these things are done. We hold that the only authorities competent to pronounce judgment on the policy of the empire—are the Legislature and Go vernment of the empire—no one of their delegates. The party _now in power were sufficiently vehement against Lord Durham's unguardedness, in publishing his philippic against Parliamentary friends and ene mies, in America. The inconvenience and peril of such a proceeding were denounced justly at that time. Is it less inconvenient and less perilous, in the East than in the West to depreciate national policy ? Is plain speaking so indispensable to ears Oriental, that Lord Ellenborough felt com pelled to afford them this remarkable specimen , of it ? Are they so likely to understand it in a sense serviceable to our mural influence ? We can just imagine that, in Europe, a certain magnanimity may - ;rror ; though n genuineness ionimittedlhe'' o-I*ered that lctios. - *dge the those`are pan iorLit, whether. t o be de , tionaries estionable . - v/e no pin-- a ty, at the expense of the rep', ~pOlicy.

How- - ever, while swperiding its j u dgrne:trupantlie substance of what the Goverpor-General lr ap . ttit 'resolved, the Chronicle observes no delicac:.' ‘A:ith.r and to the intention which it. gratuitously a r . ribest his Lord ship—the intention, namely;' of •'esignil the pri soners 'to their'. fate. Now, w *ther Lord Ellen borough ever held, this intention d not, must be a secret in his own breast ; certalily Sir Robert Peel entertained no such intention, as Asplain from his re peated pledges to viildicate the holibur of the empire ,at whatever cost; 'Atrictit • is not vaiy piphoble th a t th e ;at to India .by Sir Robert Piel would, immediately upon his arrival there, commence a system directly contrary to the pledges given by the Minister who sent him. This is an improbability so very strong 'that the weightiest evidence must be required -t o s h a ke the presump tion arising from it. Now, what is the evidence adduced by Lord Ellenborough's accusers? Certain orders for retrograde movem en t s , as sumed to have Leenissued, or to have been intended to he issued. But granting the fact of these orders; who knows their ulterior purpose ? There are two things indeed that may be known to every one, leading to a conclu sion that the orders issued or intended by Lord Ellen- . borough did not contemplate any other course but exactly that course which was adopted with such triumphant success. These one or two things are the facts, that no unnecessary march was made by any portion of' the army, however small ; no opportunity, however trifling, was lost ; not a man's labour, nor a single day was wasted — the whole grand operation, extending over a field of about 1 , 200 m iles by 500 , fell into working order like the most exquisitely-finished piece of machinery—an engine contrived with consummate art of inflexible and indestructible materials. Such is not the effect of timid and vac illating councils. B u t the destruction of Kelat i Ghilzie, and other strong places, concurring with the alleged orders for a retrograde movement, is advanced to confirm the charge of intending to abandon the prisoners. The ruins of Ghuznee, however, tell why the works of Kelat i Ghilziee Br.c., were destroyed—namely, in con templation, not . of the abandonment of the prisoners, but of the ultimate evacuation of the Affghan terri tory. In short, assuming that th e G ove rnor-General, from the first, i ntended that which he had actually done, every step of his conduct will appear clear, in telligible, and consistent ; but, to credit an opposite hypothesis, .we . must get over a score of difficulties and contradictions. MO NEY MARKET and CITY NEWS good deal of consternation was created FROM TIIF , MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. Mr. B. J. Jordan, one of the clerks of morning of the de o—junAocinetmlsetnotekearßlyankth. is o as t. , un s d o e o r i .213 The property he had. b ctaihan y p emp his tethi accountaileor sn i eng a odh n ifoo S ioe n e :fr . ,0001. in Bank of Eng land in , the cashin , and 2001. each, which it could be g of cheques and bills Y. Not returning to the i l n a n b d i s n P o ° t s e s s e os possession ° l n ,Cl .l' o l. bank at the usual time, inquiries were on the instant Mr. Jordan's absence. glean e d satisfactorily to These have been made, but no ti th n ing on followed up with the greatest activity since, and al though officers and instructions have been dispatched to all quarters, not the least clue has as yet been ob tained to the flight of the fugitive. Th e Board of Directors are unremitting in their attention to a search. It is scarcely possible the delinquent will get clear off with his boo t y , if due diligen ce be exercised by the officers now on the scent; for, besides consi dering the difficulty such a young man wilt find—he being described as only 25 years of age.—in the ex change of 'notes of the amount named, to supply himself with funds to effect an escap e , he labours under the additional disadvantage of having started, whatever route he may have taken, but a few hours before his principals became aware of his d e f a ult. All the outports are supplied .with full des cr i pt i ons o f his appearance, dress, a nd gait so that, with th e hand billS and the general publicity given to the fraud, it is hoped he will not be able long to evad e . detection. It is stated, that he had been only a few months in the employ of the bank, but had been uniformly regarded as of steady and regular bnsiness habits. Were it not that Joint-stock banks are excluded from the privileges of the London clearing-house, this delinquency could never have occurred. The private bankers have always resisted the attempts on several occasions made to allow the clearance of the cheques of tf, ese rival establishments, on the ground, it is pre suwed, of securing inviolate to themselves one of the chief' advantages accruing from the " crossing" of cheques which, passing between each in eh other, are never paid except by the process of clearing. Th us th e pre sent fraud has occurred consequence . of the clerk of the Joint-stock Bank being obliged to be tr u sted with the checks, though k, crossed," and receiving the money in notes or gold over the counter. It would, therefore, appear that one part of the banki ng interest is protected, .while the othe r part is left to the mercy and integrity of the servants they employ, having no such sufficient protection as the clearing-house affords. An opinion prevails pr ett y extensivel y amon g the monied interest in the City . that the app roac hi ng se s- Sion of Parliament will bring forth some sweeping measure for the final s ettlement of the currenc y ques ti on, and for giving the best protection to the public t'nat in • the case will admit, regard to ba n ki ng affairs generally. This opinion is founded upo n a variety -of causes, but more especially these—that the pre, i ,seut system works as badly as possible—that an abun- or deficient an - characteilll - ofiffieUhltiid Kin" ion s The more de mined - opposition to suet' , a (tin arise;'will as it-Amay safely be anticipated, on tliJ•side of the Scotch bankers, who have always , acted in concert in jesisting any.inTasion of their usages ' with a compactness and energy which it has been found impossible; hitherto to overcome ; and hence the changes introdUced into England and lieland could never undergo n fair trial, while small paper issues were allowed to prevail to so great • an extent on the' other side" of the ,-Scottish border. - Whether they have used the adVantages thus gained well or ill, it is..certain that trade in the rest of the country has been more or less injured by the facilities which these paper issues liave atl'orded to the dealers and maim facturers of 'S'cotialid. NotWithstlinding the boasted soundness 'and seen-' rity of the Secitch system of banking, the belief is .. very prevalent: among the London bankers that' it is hollow and unsafe'-at bottom '.:and must end one day or other ,in sonia . great convulsion ;:.nay more, that their own conviction. of the real unsoundness of their foundation Makes thein combine so vigorously as they do, in resisting all attempts 'for the establishment of a pure convertible 'currency. From statements recently made in a publication called the Bankers' Circular, and adverted to under this head, it appears that enormous credits are given by the Scotch banks, and that their deposits bearing interest amount to a very large sum. The propor tion that their liabilities' bear to their actual capital is not easily to be gOt at, but they are probably five or six times - as large. - It is generally supposed that these deposits are invested in Government securities to a certain extuat,s and the remainder in loans and mortgages Of v4riou4 kinds.

The: occurrence of a war would seriously affect them with their Govern - ' ment securities, but they would be hit much more fatally in those securities' upon which their advances r are made at home ; for, supposing that a sound and convertible paper currency is established .upon Go vernment security for the whole country, Scotland in cluded, the first consequence of which would be to ,compel them to call in or curtail a great portion of ,their advances, the question would then be how to realise such securities as they hold in that new repre sentative of value. In regard to the depOsits with .the banks, they would 'themselves bo,in a„situilar difli culty This is a test to which they must lie - siilijeeled; - as a first step, probably, in a reform of the currency ; and, as they know with whom they will have to deal, they would do well to be prepared for it. 1 1 At present there is no necessity for going further into this subject. As we have stated, there is a belief that the Peel Ministry will attempt to grapple with it in the next session, and that if they carry it through successfully, they will confer a public benefit greater than any they have yet achieved. The recent extension of the trade of Russia with China, which has 'lately 'become such an object of interest, is well described in a work recently trans ' lated from the Russian of Dr. Pallas and M. Muller, and entitled " The Conquest of Siberia." In this there is a succinct account as well of the origin of the commerce in question as of the extent to which it is at present carried on. The commencement of all connexion between the Russians and the Chinese seems to have been towards the middle of the 17th century, when the Russians, spreading eastward through the territory on each side of the river Amoor, and subduing several independent Ton gusian hordes, which the Chinese also de signed to conquer, the two countries were brought into collision. Open hc.stilities broke out in 1680, terminating in a itzgular treaty, by which the progress of the Russian arms was checked, 'and the foundations of a commerce were laid, and which was signed in 1689. The Russians lost by this treaty the navigation of the Amoor, but obtained in return a permanent trade with the Chi nese. Under it much difficulties arose, and it was not till 1728 that the treaty of Kiachta was signed, which is the basis of all transactions carried on be tween the two countries at the present time. In that treaty it was declared that a caravan might go to Pekin every three years on condition that it should not contain more than 200 persons, and directly this caravan reached the frontier notice was to be sent to the Chinese Court, which would d!spatch an officer to meet the caravan, and conduct the persons to Pekin. Kiachta and Tuemchaitu, both of which are situated on the confines of Siberia, were appointed as places of resort, where a trade to the subjects of both nations was allowed. The commerce, as it is now carried on, is entirely a trade of barter, the Russians being prohibited to export their coin, and the Chinese being unable to take anything but bullion. The Chinese merchant comes first to Kiachta, and examines the merchandise he wants in the warehouse of the Russian trader, and when the price is settled, the goods are sealed in the presence of the Chinese. Both parties repair to Mai matschin, where the Russian chooses his commodi ties, and leaves behind a person of confidence, who remains in the warehouse till the Russian good:, are delivered, when he returns with the Chinese mer chandise to Kiachta. Furs and peltry are the most important articles of importation on the side of the Russians. Most of these come from Siberia and the newly discovered islands, but, as a sufficient supply is not thus obtained for the Kiachta market, foreign furs are sent to St. Petersburgh, and are thence dispatched to the fron tiers. Cloth, the coarser sort of which is manufac tured in Russia, while the finer sort principally comes from England, Prussia, and France, is the second article of exportation. Camlets, calimancoes, drug gets, white flannels;stuffs, velvets, coarse linen, Russia leather, tanned hides, glass ware, hardware, tin, talc; cattle, sporting dogs, provisions, and meal are the re maining articles, though meal is less imported than formerly, from the Chinese having extended their agriculture. On the other hand the Chinese supply the Russians with silk, both manufactured and raw (although the exportation of the latter is prohibited under pain of death) , cotton, teas, porcel, furni ture, toys, artificial flowers, tiger and panther skins, rubies, colouring matters, canes, tobacco, rice, candies, rhubarb, and musk. The trade with China is found to be exceedingly profitable to Russia, as she is able to dispose of sue furs as are of so little value that they would not pay the expense of carriage from the east of Siberia to European Russia, while the richer furs, which are sold very dear to China, would not find purchasers in Russia on account of their expensiveness. They are also able to obtain from China, in exchange for these articles, which would otherwise be unprofitable, many goods which they would be unable to purchase at an advantageous rate from the European Powers. The gross amount of the average trade, including such articles as are smuggled, is estimated at 4,000,000 roubles; the calculation for the present year, in which the contraband trade is omitted, giving 2,868,333 roubles. Some of the selling brokers of 'colonial wools seem to be of opinion that a sufficiently clear impression is not produced by the account of the recent meetincr of the trade. All that Mr. Simes intended to do at the last meeting was to give a public statement of the Int axing he attached to the second condition of the The severe gales at the Cape of Good Hope about ...e end of the month of August last, the pitiful results of which, in the destruction of property and the loss of human life, have of late so painfully excited public sympathy for the sufferers, extended, as might have been supposed, to ships a ong way at sea. One me lancholy instance, resulting in the death of three per sons, part of the crew of the barque W illiam Mitchell, of Leith,] on her passage from Singapore to Antwerp, is narrated in the following extract of a letter, from a gentleman on board that vessel, dated Cape of Good Hope, September 17 : " We sailed from Singapore July 1 with a full cargo of tin and pepper. The south-west monsoon was blowing, and the current with it, so that we could not make way against them. We were conse quently blown away up the China sea, and six days after our first start we were not more than twenty five miles from Singapore. We came down the Straits of Rhio, and after four weeks' hard work we reached Java—having crossed over and beat down the coast of Borneo, with the wind in our teeth the whole way. On the Bth September, when off Cape Languilles, the most southerly point of Africa, and after a day nearly calm, a heavy sea got up all of a sudden ; so heavy, that she was taking water on deck and not a breath of wind. A person experienced on this coast knows this to be the fore runner of gales. We had no sail taken in ere the squall caught us at once, and laid us flat over before the ship paid off. It struck us by the lee. We all turned to to shorten sail ; got in all the light ones, and reefed the topsails ; four hands laid out to furl the jibs, and were just coming in, when she took such a pitch, that the jib-boom broke short off at the cap, taking the fore top-gallant mast with it, what was worse, three of our shipmates. We could do nothing to save them. On the alarm being given, all were paralysed for a moment—and the next all were at the quarter-boat ; and, till, it was manned and half lowered, it never struck any one that the boat must swamp the instant it touched the water—so heavy a sea running. It was unanimously agreed that it was of no use; and, besides, all the bodies were out of sight—sunk, before any thing could be done. A muster was made immediately, and we found we had lost three, namely, James Reid, aged 48, able seaman ; Allan Lyndsay, aged 19, just out of his apprenticeship ; and Robert Greig, aged 19, an apprentice. The poor old man was the life of the ship, and this was his first time round the Cape. He has left a wife and a large family. Lyndsay was the best lad in - the ship, both in moral character, and in knowledge of seamanship. The last was also a quiet, stout lad. We made an inventory of their kits, and had them nailed up for behoof of their friends. " This gale lasted three days. We hove-to all the time under reduced maintopsail, and the ship behaved well ; only that she was so desperately leaky that our crew, even before our loss too small, were very much fagged; for with one hand lashed at the wheel, only three and an officer were at the pumps —and they had to pump fully fifteen minutes every hour. I lent a hand to the heavy work till we reached the Cape here, when we anchored in Table Bay on the 14th of September. " In the newspapers you will read an account of the disastrous work done by the gale (at the same time we had it) in Table Bay. These are the most severe gales which have been experienced here for 1 5 years back. It is a dismal sight to see the ribs and trucks of a majestic, ship broken up.

Lord Rosslyn went to Chesterfield House to accomplish this object, when Lord Chesterfield declined to see him, but sent out to him young Forrester, of the Guards (another of his brothers-in-law) * * to hear anything he had to say—and upon receiving so marked a slight, Lord Rosslyn left the house, and threw up the office of mediator. Foiled in this, ount Bathyan v made an offer through his counsel, an dernier moment, to refer the matter to any legal authority, not inte rested in the matter—which gentlemanly proposal was, after some deliberation, declined. The matter, in consequence of this mismanage ment, has become one of notoriety, arising out of the legal proceedings which Nelly Hohnes's noble trus tees have instituted; and in referring to the exposi tion, we are wing to believe that Lord Chesterfield assented, in the first instance, to his nomination of trustee, from that feeling of good nature he is at all times ready to indulge in; but we view his subsequent conduct in a very different light. 'With a perfect knowledge of his co-trustee being his lady's own brother * lie should have had more respect for the feelings of his Countess, one of the most charming women living, than to sacrifice them for any consideration of a cominon profligate—he should, in fact, have made every effort, instead of none, to keep so discreditable a matter strictly private—and that he has not so done, is a matter to us of very great regret. But blameable as we really feel the Noble Lord's con duct to be, it is lightly so indeed, compared with that of Mr. CharlesTorrester * * * or, to that of Lord Maidstone, who unconcernedly hands over his mis tress to his friend, knows that his friend has paid her debts, incurred while she was under his Lordship's pro tection! urges her on to obtain this settlement, and when she has obtained it, takes her back again, on her separation from the man she has so injured. In thus, therefore, reprobating the proceedings of the parties herein referred to, we cannot but uphold those of Count Bathyany, who has been victimised in the whole business. We decline at present agitat ing the question attempted to be entertained of a mar riage which was sought to be effected—there may be an occasion when it will be necessary to refer to it ; but without entering thereon, we cannot sufficiently condemn the conduct which has been adopted towards Count Bathyany, nor sufficiently eulogise the gene rous and feeling manner in which the Count has acted throughout. *.,.* Since the above was written, we find that Nelly's solicitors have been instructed to withdraw the record, and thus the matter falls to the ground. A more complete vindication of Count Bathyanv's bearing in the whole business could not possibly be effected ; but a question will naturally arise, if this measure has been adopted at the eleventh hour, why was it resisted at the first? We subjoin the copy of a letter Which has been addressed to the Count's soli citors by those of the plaintiff, simply observing that, as the deed expressly states Lord Chesterfield is not " compellable,' the termination of the letter is a mere s ubterfuge : " 24th No vem b er , 1842. " Gentlemen,—We were instructed by Mrs. Suter to commence the proceedings against your client, under standing that the trustees would consent to any ne cessary proceedings for the recovery of the anntwity due under the deed prepared by your client's solicitors. We had no communication with Lord Chesterfield, or with his solicitors, until the bill had been filed; and as his solicitor objects to our proceeding further for the present, it is unnecessary for us to make any ap pointment with our client ; but we apprehend Lord Chesterfield, as a trustee, is compellable to proceed.
