By F. B. COI7RTENAY, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. " We believe Mr. Conrtenay's experience in the treatment of stric ture during the last twenty years has equalled, if, indeed, it has not surpassed, that of any of his contemporaries. It is, therefore, no matter of surprise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a most dexterous and skilful manipulator with urethral instruments ; and when it is remembered that the lamented Liston used to assert that the introduction of instruments through a stricture which had previously been impermeable to them, was the most difficult in the whole range of surgical operations, it must be no slight source of gratification on Mr. Courtenay's part, to have achieved the reputation he has in this respect; and for our part, with the knowledge we have of his experience, we know of no man to whose care we would with greater confidence entrust the treatment of a severe cate of stricture of the urethra."—Medical Circular.

The question that has occupied a great deal of discus sion to-day in the dockyard is as to the cause of the failure of yesterday--one so very similar to what befe! another large ship, the Cwsar, 90, now in the Baltic, which was launched a short time since at Pembroke. Various reasons are assigned, but the correct one is be lieved to be deficiency in the declination of the ways on which the ship had to glide into the water. Allowance had probably been made for the great weight of the ves sel, and that in consequence of such weight, a slight de clination would suffice. It is thought that perhaps too great an allnwance had been made on this score. One thing is certain, tl*the vessel did not get fast in the ground, as there was ample depth of water. Another large ship is to be at once commenced on the slip the Marlborough has vacated, and to be several feet longer and of greater tonnage. She is to be called the Victoria. The timbers for her frame are lying alongside the building-shed, already prepared for putting together. THE QUEEN TO THE ARMY ON THE • DEATH OF LORD RAGLAN. GENERAL AFTER ORDER.

INDIA. The following is the summary of the Bombay Times : " We are now in the thick of our rains : after some light showers on,the 11th, they commenced in earnest on the 18th June, the day predicted for them, when 3.5 inches fell. On the 20th 5.5 inches were measured within four hours. Up to the present date we have had about 18 inches—a very auspicious opening for our south-west monsoon. As yet we have had neither squall nor thunder storm. The catherans and robbers on our Pesha wur frontier have been giving us some annoyance, sacking the villages within our frontier, burning the grain stored away for the season, • and carrying the inhabitants away with them. Major Ed wardes, the Commissioner, with a Brigade of the Punjaub Irregular Horse under the command of Major Neville Chamberlain, bad been out endeavour ing to bring to order a series of villages which for three years had not only refused us tribute, and spurned allegiance to us, but joined in the raids of those who annoyed us. On the approach of our troops the rebels sued for peace, offered to pay up their arrears, and promised to be on their good con duct henceforth • and as this was all that was de sired, they were left unmolested. Village burning is enly resorted to with those who, having in7aded our territories, and done all the mischief in their power, retire before and defy us. This is the only military movement we have had since last mail to chronicle. The government of the Punjaub is so short of money, that half a million, the amount 'subscribed to the five per cent. loan, mostly by natives, has been ordered by telegraph to be for -warded express from Bombay, and - ivas sent - ofroti Monday—a singular want of foresight, surely, to defer the despatch of specie, to be • transported 1,500 miles by water, to a period of the year when a voyage to Kurracliee is never unaccompanied by danger, the experiment having been first made in Jane, 1851. The census of the Punjaub took place on the 31st December, 1854, and its results have just been published: the population amounts to thirteen millions, •the males being to the females as 55 to 45. • " The Madras Railway is expected to be opened a, few months hence. The locomotives have been landed in safety. By this day's steamer three young Parsee gentlemen proceed to England—two of them, Messrs. Dadabhoy Nowrojee, professor of mathematics in the Elphinstone Institution, and Mutcherjee Hormusjee Cama, for the purpose of establishing a mercantile agency in London ; and the third, Mr. Rustomjee Byranljee, a graduate of the Grant Medical College, whose object it is to present himself at the public examination for ad mission into the Medical Service of the East India Company as an assistant-surgeon. The Governor- General is still on the Neilgherries, which he is not likely to leave till October next, and Lord Elphinstone is at Poona. Trade, as usual al this season of the year, is dull ; the money market is easy, and freights are low." CHINA. HONGKONG, JUNE 10. The London mail of the 9th of April arrived, per steamer Cadiz, on the 24th of May. The mails of the 26th of February and 26th of March reached us, via Calcutta, on the 24th of May and 6th inst. respectively. From Shanghai we have dates to the 2d inst. The neighbourhood was quiet. Nothing certain was known regarding the progress of the rebels, beyond the fact of their having left Yokshan, after destroying much property, and returned to Hwei e'iow, whence, it was feared, they might reach Hangchow, and prove highly injurious to trade at Shanghai. Her Majesty's steamer Styx was at Shanghai, having left Admiral Sir James Stirling at Nagasaki on the 19th of May. His Excellency was about to sail for Hakodadi. It was reported that the Russian Admiral had embarked his men and the guns of the Diana frigate on board native craft, and had left Japan for the Russian settlements in the north. The French frigates Constantine and Sihylle and the steamer Colbert were cruising in tho Japanese waters. Her Majesty's steamer Styx was waiting for the 9th of April mail, when she would rejoin the Bri tish squadron at Japan. At Canton there is little of moment to report. The mandarins are said to have retaken the im portant town of Shao-King-Foo, situated in the Canton province, and the rebels have retreated towards the defiles on the borders of Kwangsi, where they are likely to hold their ground and oppose an effectual barrier to transit from the tea growing districts. From Kowkong and adjacent silk-producing country there is no intelligence worthy of mention; indeed, the reports that reach us are so vague and often contradictory that small reliance can be placed upon them. Piracy in these waters is as rife as ever. Her Majesty's steamer Rattler, Commander W. A. Fellowes, has, however, been actively employed of late,•and done some good service against them. The distress occasioned by a scarcity of rice has been relieved by importations, which have poured in from all quarters in foreign vessels, and very large quantities are on the way. The price of grain has materially declined, and what we last month quoted at 4 20 to 4 60 is now only worth about 2 80 per picul, and other kinds in proportion. The new crop will be ready in about three weeks. The import trade at Canton shows no signs of improvement, and only a few sales have been made for local consumption. Freights to London, 5/. 10s. ; to. Liverpool, 6/. 6s. At Shanghai the transactions in imports have been limited, and chieflyin barter. Black teas show no change in price ; greens are 2 to 4 taels lower than the previous month. Very extensive settle ments have been made for the Russian overland market, which has cleared altogether fully 40,000 chests of the common kinds of congou, souchong, and pekoe. Silk maintained its value. The new crop was expected down in about a fortnight. Prices are likely to range about the same as last year—say, for No. I Tsatlee, 300 dols. to 320 dols. From Foochow we have advices to the 27th of May. All was quiet, and no disturbance appre hended, although the land question was still creat- ing some annoyance. A portion of the new teas has arrived, and large supplies were expected shortly. One or two ves sels had commenced loading. At Amoy nothing important has occurred. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Tartar, chartered for her Majesty's service, left this for Japan, under charge of Mr. T. R. Coiling wood, master, R.N., on the 14th of May. In Harbour.—Her Majesty's steamer Rattler and the Spanish steamer R. de Castilla. At Canton, her Majesty's ship Comus and the United States' guard•ship J. P Kennedy ; at Foo chow, her Majesty's ship Racehorse ; at Macao, the United States' steamer Powhattan ; at Shanghai, the United States' frigate Macedonian.

Our money market for the past fortnight has, con trary to expectation, become a little tighter, owing to considerable amounts being taken up for investment in tbe 5 percent. low, and the banks in consequence have raised their rates of interest 1 per cent. Four per cent. paper and stocks generally have improved considerably. In the import market little business as usual at this season of the year has been done. Before the arrival of the mail, there was an inclination on the part of dealers generally to do business at the prices ruling a fortnight ago, and the sales now reported were the consequence. But the last accounts from England showing a very ma terial falling off in the exports of manufactured goods to this presidency, whilst the price of these goods have been much enhanced, have induced an active speculative grey goods, but holders higher prices, staplerices,a and will not s e ll. look demand for still here h fer m Grey Shirtings, of 40-inch and of 6 lb. weight, have advanced 2 annas per p iece, on the prices paid previ ously; those of 7 to 81 lbs. 3 to 4 annas per pi e ce ; and shirting of 45-inch of 64 at 10 lbs. have increased 2 to 3 annas per piece. Grey T Cloths are worth 2 annas per piece more than formerly. Grey Domestics have increased in value 3 to 4 annas per piece on previous sales. Grey Jacconets are as yet without improvement. Bleached goods are not at all inquired for, and show no improvement on the miserable prices lately current. Yarns are in active demand, at an advance of to anna per lb. on all counts of water twist, and of i t to anna per lb. on No. 20 to 60 mule twist, but without any inclination on the part of importers to sell at these • advanced rates. Cotton Wool—The market has continued very firm, with advancing prices, but the transactions since our last are not quite so large, only some 7,500 bales, of which 3,500 have been taken since the mail came to baud, the accounts by which at once made holders ask an advance of about 8 rupees per candy, say Broach and Surat 100 rs. Dollera, 102 re. per candy ; but.fiuding no buyers, they have in the last day or ti,vo been less firm, and our quotations now are, Broach and Surat, 96 rs. ; Dollera, 99 rs. ; Compta, 94 re. ; Oornrawuttee, 90 rs. per candy. For China there was very little doing; Opium.—The firmness noticed in our last Las been maintained, and with rather better accounts of Malwa received two or three days ago via Calcutta prices have further advanced. Mundleisur is at 920 re. ; Indore, 910 rs. per chest. The steamer on the 24th inst. bad 534 chests ; the export of the month is about 1,500 chests. Exchange on England for the fortnight has ruled a shade lower. The closing quotations are as follow :- 2s. 11d. to 2s. 1 9-IGd. for Chinaand fret-class credits, and 2s. 1 1. to 2s. 1 11-16 d. for documents. On Cal cutta, we quote 1 per cent. prem. at sight, par at GO days' sight. Madras par at 30,days' sight, and China 223 at GO days' sight. TONNAGE.—Rates of freight to Great Britain have de clined to 3/. 155.- , pei ton of 50 cubic feet, at which they arc very quiet and inclining downwards. To China 8 rs. per candy may be considered the nominal rate. , (From the Englishman,.) CALCUTTA, June 16, We have had the London news of 9th May by tele graph, from Bombay, for some ten days past. For some time after last mail our produce market was very dull, but after the receipt of telegraphic news from Bombay we had considerable activity in sugars, rice, seeds, and jute, and ;which the contents' of letters are likely to continue, as at this period, our rivers opening, arrivals of boats laden with : produce fill, the bazaars, whierrttrder importers - will]Vto sell, rather than Rtore, if that can be avoided, so that we look for considerable business from this time forward. Our indigo prospects for the coming season are hardly so good as at date of our last. For some days after our last an active business con tinued in piece goods, but latterly, we think, scarcely so much has been done, probably owing to increased firmness on the part of holders, as the accounts from up country continue to be of a favourable character, and shipments from home slackening a little and at higher prices lead to the hope that an advance may in many cases be looked for at no distant period ; and the high rate of exchange fixed by the Court for their bills on India, added to the advance in the price of silver at home, with afair demand for our produce, sustain the hope that for the present our favourable rate of remit ting may be maintained. Twist has not improved in position. Metals are mostly in a healthy state. Our money market is in a little better state than when we last wrote, but the directors of the Bank of Bengal have not been able yet further to reduce their rates of interest and discount. EXCHANGE.—Some 90 days bills have sold at 2-1 k ; Treasury Bills are quoted at 2-01, and Bank of England Post Bills at 2-of. The rate on China is Rs. 216 to 218 per 100 &le., and on Australia 2 2) per rupee. FREIGHTS, at closing our quotations, are—for London : Sugar, 3/. 12s. 6d.; saltpetre, 3/. 103. ; rice, 3/. 17s. 6a; jute, 4/. ; seeds, 5!. 10s., and other goods in proportion, with usual deduction for Liverpool. For America rates have been at 12 dols. for saltpetre ; l5 dols. to 16 dols. for seeds, and 133 dols. to 14 dols. fur measurement goods. wife, invalids, for Port Vendres, and left on the 27th. The Tuba ) Cain, English screw steamer, in the same ser vice, also arrived from Kainiesch on the 26th, bringing 51 non-commissioned officers and privates, invalids, and 1 medical officer. She left for Marseilles on the morn ing. of the 27th, but in consequence of a strong contrary gale of wind bore up on the same evening. " The Mozambane, Sardinian steam-sloop, arrived from G-enea and Cagliari on the 26th, with provisions for the Sardinian Contingent, bringing Captain. Rey, Mr. Turcowics, two army chaplains, 18 privates, and 10 Sis ters of Charity, to minister to the sick ; having in tow the Libertas, Sardinian transport barque, also from Genoa awl Cagliari, with stores." The workmen employed 111 getting the Marlborough off the stocks at midnight on Tuesday, yesterday were granted the holiday they were deprived of by the acci dent on launching. The ship now draws 21 feet aft, and 16 feet forward. It is not believed that she is in the least strained or otherwise injured. The ship was an object of much curiosity yesterday. She will be now taken into dock to be coppered. The Dee, naval steam-transport, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday vali Sto., for the Marlborough. The Caradoc, 2, despatch steam-vessel, Commander Derriman, arrived at Spithead yesterday afternoon from the westward, and passed on to the eastward without anchoring. The Oscar, 158, steam-transport, went' into Ports mouth harbour from Spithead yesterday morning, and left, in the evening for the Thames. The Victoria and Albert. Royal yacht, Captain the Hon. Joseph Denman, left Portsthouth harbour fur Cowes yesterday to attend upon the Queen. The sailing transport Timandra, No. 51, arrived at Spithead yesterday from the East, with about 70 in valids. and 130 wives and 200 children of soldiers, all from Corfu. .

The Hesper's repairs were completed yesterday ; con sequently she again left Woolwich at 5.80. The Vivid. steam tender to the flag-ship Fisgard, has arrived at Woolwich from Chatham. No. 86 steam-transport, • Harbinger, came down to Woolwich yesterday morning from Limehouse Dock, and bas commenced taking in her cargo of military stores for the Crimea. Yesterday the charge of Woolwich Arsenal, hitherto undertaken by portions of the various troops in garrison, was handed over to the police force, in consequence of the increasing reduction in the military departments there. ._. _. The invalids at St. Mary's barracks, Chatham, about 1,000 men, assembled yesterday in front of ,their quar ters, under command of Lieutenant and Adjutant Pope, staff officer of the invalid depot, to witness a third distri bution of Crimean medals. The men were formed up in three sides of a square. and these invalids who were to receive the medals, being called to the front, were pre sented with them by Colonel Eden, the commandant of Chatham garrison. By command of Ler Majesty there were about 50 distributed. The majority were with two and three clasps. Those medals were for the men who have left the invalid depot and joined their depots for service again, and those who have been discharged. Their names were submitted to the commandant, and they are to be despatched without loss of time to their different destinations. The offices of the invalid depot are to be removed from the old building, at the rear of the Royal Engineers' barracks, to the officer's quzrters in Brampton barracks. The last division of the 22d Regiment from India left the garrison at Chatham at 6 a.m. yesterday, and pro ceeded to Plymouth. The men of the division have been medically inspected, and the whole were pronounced healthy and fit for duty. They consisted of 7 officers, 15 sergeants, 6 drummers, 236 rank and file, 16 women, and 25 children, in charge of Captains Anderson, Bow den, Smith, Lieutenants Monck, M'Bean, Tweedie, and Assistant-Surgeon Adams, M.D. A detachment of the 96th Foot, from India, has arrived at Chatham, consisting of 7 sergeants, I drummer, and 87 rank and file, with 3 women and 2 children, under the command of Captain F.

L The Harbinger, screw steam-transport, No. 86, dropped down the river yesterday, and lies off the %Vest-wharf, Royal Arsenal, where she is to embark a part of the fifth siege train, consisting of 8-inch guns of 65 and 52 cwt., and 32-pounders, besides the full complement of stores belonging to each gun. The screw steam-transport Holyrood, No. 77, left the Royal Arsenal last evening, for the Crimea. Several lighters are engaged in taking up a great quan tity of shells, for shipment on board the steam-transport Alps, lying at Deptford. There are 2,000 13-inch shells, and 18,000 8-inch shells. These 8-inch shells are packed in square wooden boxes, and have all been fitted with Captain Boxer's fusees. During the last month about 740 recruits have joined the Royal Art idery, and about 40 have joined the Royal Sappers and Miners. A large portion of these are men from the different militia regiments. The militia mounting the main guard at the Royal Arsenal have been withdrawn, so that there is now no military services in the Arsenal. The Vivid, paddle steam-vessel, Master Commander Allen, returned to Woolwich last evening, PLYMOUTH, AUGUST 1. The Alarm, 253, Capt. Douglas Curry, will be taken into dock this morning to have her copper cleaned. She will be taken out of dock the following tide. _ T'rle Sanspareil, 70, will make a trial trip round the Eddystone to-day to try her engines, after which she re turns to the Sound, and will sail in a few days for Spit h,ad. It is said she will accompany her Majesty to France. Lieut.-Colonel Sir John Yarde Buller, Bart., having returned from the continent, whitber he has been to re cruit his health, has resumed the command of the South ➢evon Militia, stationed in this garrison. MILITIA. The depot of the Ist (King's Own) Staffordshire Mili tia, the head-quarters of which are still at Corfu, has just been inspected at the Store-barracks, Lichfield, by Colonel Slade, inspecting; officer of the district, attended by the Mijor of Brigade, Colonel Wynyard. Although the depot numbers only about 180 men, vet they per formed their evolutions, under the command of Major Tennant, with great precision, and the men and officers were highly complimented by Colonel Slade upon the satisfactory result of the inspection. The first division of the Longford Rifles arrived at the encampment, Curragb, on Friday, under the command of Majs.r Blackhall ; and the second divi-don, with staff and band, on Saturday, under the command of Col. Musters, ' the whole consisting of 15 officers and 370 sergeants, rank and file. _ _ _ A working party of 2 officers and 2S men also arrived at the encampment on Saturday last, for the purpose of taking over quarters for the Westmeath Rifles, which are to arrive there in the course of the week. The route has been received by the Galway Militia to march from Loughrea to Galway, taking up the quar ters held by the depots of the 40th Regiment and 60th Rifles. The first division of the Galway Regiment left Loughrea yesterday. THE LAUNCH OF THE MARLBOROUGH. PORTSMOUTH, Aug. I.—The cheers that greeted the satisfactory commencement of the launch of this ship yesterday, were tame as compared with those that rang through the building-shed at half-past 12 this morning at the completion of the launch. Probably a thousand men had been engaged in overcoming the impediment that had produced so much disappointment to her Ma jesty and the 50,000 or 60,000 of her subjects who had attended to witness the launch of this great floating bat tery ; and it is but fair to say that the exertions of the men and the officers of the dockyard were of the most vigorous, hearty, and efficient character. The ship, on becoming stationary after her partial launch, rested not on the soli' bed of the dock, but on the continuation of the ways into the harbour, and which were tempo rary and built on piles driven for the occasion, and which, though sufficiently firm to support a heavy ship gliding over, and would be partly buoyed up by the water, were unequal to the task that fell upon them when the tide dropped, and caused the whole weight of the Marlborough to rest upon them. It is found to-day that this was so, and that the piles had sunk beneath their load. It was fortunate that both rows of the piles sunk an equal depth, as, had those one one side sunk deeper than those on the other, hardly any other result would have lAen expected than that the ship would have canted on her broadside. With this con tingency in view, it became necessary to take the, promptest measures to float the ship, and these were successful on the tide again rising to nearly its full height at half-past 12 this morning. The workmen bad been incessantly at work up to that hour, by to rch light, shoring up the vessel, placing heavy lighters he and se ot large number of empty casks to float her , and otherwise of preparing for every conceivable oontingeneY . twice dar ing the evening, and inspired them with r the eventual success of their efforts occurr ed enewed vigour.

Historians of Canada will note the event of yesterday among the memorable points of the annals of this coup - try. Since the conquest, 96 years ago, no French vessel of war has cast anchor under the battlements of Quebec, and certainly never was any received with more enthu siastn than was the Capricieuse, which arrived beni. shortly before 7 o'clock last evening, after a passage of nine days from Sydney, C.B. This long-expected vessek having passed the telegraph stations during Thursday night, we only heard of her approach by the steamer Saguenay, which arrived only a couple of hours befor, the corvette herself. Three members of the Administra tion left this on Monday in the steamer Admiral to mee t the Capricieuse and accompany her commander to port. They went as far as the Brandy Pots, and, being linable to learn any tidings of her progress, returned to town during Thursday night. The surprise occasioned by her appearance was therefore the greater ; yet, despite this, and the unfavourable state of the weather (for we had heavy thunder showers during the whole afternoon), Durham-terrace, the wharfs, arid every available spoit from which a sight of the corvette could bo had were thronged with spectators. The steamer Advance towed' the Capricieuse up from Bic, and as the latter vessel passed the shipping in harbour they saluted the French flag by lowering their ensigns. Upon coming to ancho r the corvette hoisted the British ensign at the fore, this union-jack at the mizen, and fired 21 guns. This saint was duly acknowledged by the artillery of Durham-ter race, and the tricolour of France floated from the citadel flagstaff. Vociferous cheers were given by the crowds from the terrace and wharves, and everywhere the greatest gratification was manifested. His worship the Mayor and some members of the corporation speedily boarded the vessel, and waited upon the commander, who, we learn, will land at the Queen's wharf shortly before noon to day. It is his intention immediately thereafter to call at Government-house, and, we understand, his Excel lency the Governor-General will come down in state to receive him. This landing has been seized upon as ap propriate for the presentation of the address adopted at the late public meeting ; the citizens are therefore re- 'quested by the Mayor to meet for that purpose onpie Queen's-wharf at half-past 11 o'clock this forenoon.a %I ; city council on Tuesday voted. $l,OOO toward: defraying the the cost of the celebration in honour of M. id visit.

Several members of the commission strongly deprecated an y re-opening of such grevous sources of nuisance and disease, especially after the city of London and other out-parishes had been compelled by government to ob tain new cemeteries at a great expense. The bill having passed the House of Lords, it was ultimately resolved that the House of Commons should be petitioned not to pass the measure in its present form. The bill, it was i stated, would be committed on Thursday. CHINA MARKETS. EXCHANGE AND BULLION. ...Canton, June B.—On London, 4/. 10s. to 41. 9i3.. ; on India, 233 Rs. 7th June.

"Monsieur le Ministre,-1 have received instructions from Lord Clarendon to communicate to your Excellency the annexed copy of a despatch a ddressed to thegWar office by Lieutenant-General Simpsor, which expresses the regret of the English army in the Crimea at the death of Lieutenant-Colonel Vico, who, since the com mencement of the war, acted as French Commissary at the head-quarters of the English army. " In making this communication, and in announcing to your Excellency that General Simpsen's despatch was published in a supplement to the London , Gazette of the 26th instant, I have to add that the Government of the Queen shares the regret expressed by the English Corn manderin-Chief at the loss of an officer who had so long been associated with the British army, and who earned the &item and affection of all these who came in con tact with am, &c., " COWLEY," The following letter is from a Malta correspondent, dated July 23 : "The Indiana, screw steam transport, belonging to the General Screw Steam Shipping Company, arrived on the 25th from Plymouth and Kingstown, having on board, for Malta, Capt.

Prince, of Amsterdam.

The total amount subscribed within ten days amounts to no less than three milliards and 610 millions of francs, or 144 millions sterling • no less than 310,000 persons have participat e d in the subscription, and about a third of the loan actually_required is subscribed in small sums of '5O francs Rentes, or a capital not exceedin g 501. As a t en th par t o f th e w h o l e sum tendered subscription was at once deposited by the public, no less than 14 millions sterling were at once paid into the Bank of France ; but a lafge portion of this deposit will be returned to the the policy and declared intention : of the French Government being to accept all the tenders for less than 50 francs Rente in full, and to com plete the loan by a rateable proportion on the larger sums. There can be 'no doubt that this transaction affords a strong additional proof of the confidence of the French nation, or at least of a very large part of it, in the present Government, and of its readiness to advance on the,garedit of the State any sums which may be necessary for the conduct of the war. A ruler may, beiforgiven who deems the resources of his empire inexhaustible when he finds that every successive appeal he makes to the purse of the nation is responded to with such avi dity that his only difficulty is to satisfy the claim ants; and we know not on what grounds it can be argued that the war is unpopular in France, when we find the whole people eager to raise in a week a sum for military expenses equal to three years' or dinary revenue. As far, therefore, as this mani festation shows confidence in the Government and determination in the war, it is of essential value to the cause in which we are engaged, and we have no desire to underrate its importance. But it is also our, duty to consider these facts in their strictly financial character, and to endeavour to form a correct estimate of the transaction as it affects the monetary resources of France. In the first place, then, we n. reme,rk, that the more favourable the conditions o!, tb, loan are to the subscribers, the more disadvantageous they are to the permanent interest of the nation, The which the public have taken up the loan proves that the price at which it was issued by the Government was lower than the actual credit of France required, and that a con siderable profit was anticipated by the holders of the scrip at the expense of the State. The loan was for 30,000,600 t. sterling, and, whether much or little was subscribed, the actual demand upon the country was limited to that sum. The price was fixed by law at 92f. 25c. for the Four-and-a- Half per Cent. Rentes, and at 65f. 25c. for the Three per Cent. Rentes. At this rate, aided by some further advantages to the subscribers in the mode of payment, the profit which may be realised on the Three per Cent. Rentes is about 4 per cent. on the capital named. Thus we find it stated that a man who makes a deposit of 109 francs on a claim to 50 francs Rente might secure a profit of from 50 to 60 francs on this preliminary,opera►tion. The eagerness shown by the public, therefore, is something like that which was displayed in the allotment of shares at the height of the railway maniain this country, because the whole prOfit which may attach to the share of the Reutes may be re alised on the first deposit. No wonder that such terms as these brought every one into the market, more especially as it was provided that the demands for 50 francs Itente were not to be subject to re duction. This, again, is a circumstance accounting in some degree for the enormous multitude of the subscri bers and the enormous amount subscribed. As the small tenders were to have a preference over the large ones, it became the interest of persons wish ing for a certain amount of the loan to subdivide their applications into small amounts. A man ap plying for 1,000 francs Rent would only obtain on the final adjustment about one-tenth of what he asked for ; but the same man applying for twenty inscriptions of 50 francs Rente in the names of his children, his clerks, or his servants, wo u ld ge t a ll that he required. This species of substitution has been practised on a very large scale. - In one in stance we are told that a company of the National Guard sent in its names to swell the list of its captain ; and every sort of expedient of this kind was attempted. This circumstance accounts in some degree for the multiplication of the subscri bers ; another equally explains the amount sub scribed, for, as it was generally believed that the allotments of the loan would be materially reduced, nothing was more simple than for a subscriber to ask for ten times as much as he hoped to receive. Nevertheless, making ample allowances for all the effects of stockjobbing on the most gigantic scale, it cannot be doubted that the success of this loan does furnish very positive proof of the mag nitude of the resources of the French people, and of the vast extension of the principles of credit among them within the last few years. Nearly 40 millions sterling of this money have been subscribed in the departments, and 24 millions from foreign countries, and the actual deposit of 10 per cent. on the subscription paid on the spot amounts to half the entire capital of the loan, which is to be raised by instalments extending over 18 months. If we compare this state of things with the financial ex haustion which preceded and brought on the first French revolution of 1789, or with the depression caused by the events of 1814, and the pecuniary sa crifices obtained at that time from France, or again with the financial earthquake of 1848, which over threw so many of the strongest commercial houses and all but reduced the Government of the Repub lic to insolvency, it must be admitted that this revival and extension of credit in France and of French credit abroad is one of the most remark able facts in modern history. In London alone nearly two millions sterling were paid into the hands of Messrs. Rothschild and Messrs. Baring last week by way of deposit on the demands made through them ; yet, although this vast sum was suddenly withdrawn from the money-market, the operation did not produce any sensible effect on the ordinary transactions of business. Such is the astonishing, and we must add the dangerous, facility with which a public debt of this nature may at this time be contracted by the Western Powers. Above all, it proves that the present war has been and is still carried on by them without any real pressure on the resources at their command. The price of their securities literally rises while fresh burdens are imposed on them by the Legislature, and the confidence of the people immeasurably outruns the demands of the Government. That is the reason why the prolon gation of the war tells so much in our favour and against the enemy, and will eventually secure to us the most advantageous conditions of peace. Russia may for a time strain her resources to de fend her vast frontier, but the burden of these sacrifices falls with tenfold weight on her capita lists, her traders, and her population. The most formidable adversaries she has to encounter are the Banks of England and France, regarded as the depositories of the wealth of those two great nations. Wealth has not relaxed or unnerved their arm, but, on the contrary, it has increased dene _ their spirit of enterprise, and placed unprecedented means means of hostility at the disposal of their and the same spirit which has in .teueday.ser,atisse,(i. 144 millions of money in France _ successfulbi prosecute this contest to a glorious and termination.—Tinics.
