THE RETURN OF HER MAJIBSTY. EDINBURGH, WEDNESDAY EVENING. The Queen left Balmoral this morning at 8 o'clock for Edinburgh, posting by Ballater and Aboyne to Banchory. Her Majesty was received here by Mr. Tatrick Davidson, vice-chairman of the Deeside Railway, Mr. White, and Mr. Ferguson, at 12.10. The train reached Ferry-hill, Aberdeen, at 12,30, where her Majesty was received by Sir Thomas Blakey, Provost of Aberdeen, and Mr. Thompson, Major Cristie, Mr. Birnie, and Mr. Reith, of the r 'Scottish North-Eastern Railway direction. The train arrived at Stonehaven at 1.10, where her Majesty had luncheon, and left at 1.30. The , 'station was elegantly decorated. The train arrived tat Forfar at 2.53, where Lord Panmure took leave .of her Majesty. Perth was reached at 3.30, where the Earl of Mansfield and Lord Strathallan, with the Provost and magistrates and a large company, were preoent. Col. Johnstone, Mr. Bruce, of Kennett, and Pio -vost Sawyers, of the Scottish Central Direction, ant Mr. Peter Blackburn, M.P., and Mr. Jamieson, of the Edinburgh and Glasgow and Scottish Central Railways, accompanied the train to Edinburgh, arriving at Stirling at 5.2 under a Royal salute from the Castle guns. Here, as at all the other stations, there were military guards of honour. The Royal train arrived in Edinburgh at 6.15, having kept time to a minute, under the able management of Mr. Seymour Clarke. The weather was stormy in the morning, but got fair towards afternoon ; the distance posted was 38 miles, and by rail 1881 miles. At St. Margaret's station her Majesty was re ceived by Viscount Melville and officer's staff, Mr. Sheriff Gordon, and several directors of the North British Railway. The Royal party drove in car riages through the park to Holyrood, where the Lord Provost and other gentlemen were in waiting. The carriages were closed, but, notwithstanding the darkness, there was a considerable assemblage in the nark. The way was lined by the sth Dra goon Guards, the 34th Regiment, and two compa nies of Royal Artillery. The Marquis of Dalhousie, by special invitation, waited on her Majesty in Holyrood, and had half-an-hour's audience. The dinner party was limited to the Royal suite. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) THURSDAY MORNING. The Queen left Edinburgh this morning at a quarter to 8 o'clock, arriving at Dunbar at 8.25, and Berwick 9.15. The Royal party crossed the Tweed in the enjoyment of fair weather. All well. NATIONAL NOTES v. BANK NOTES. TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN. Stn,—As you continue to point out the right way of curing our monetary crises, and of preventing their recurrence by substituting Government or National Notes for Bank of England Notes, I take the liberty to trouble you once more with a few lines. Government having to issue all the coins, copper, silver, and gold, ought certainly likewise to issue the paper money required by the nation, and this, the most profitable one, should not be left to a company which, however judiciously managed, must be constantly watched and restricted by laws, which, in case of an emergency, prove useless after all. To have a constant sufficiency of circulating medium it ought to be issued principally by Government, and the following plan can meet with no objections. By advancing the national notes, which are, of course, a legal tinder, at the rate of 50 or 60 per cent, upon Consols, and charging an in terest_ of 2 to 3 per cent, on such advances, Government would, without the least risk, at once create a sufficiency of circulating medium, make the money market easy, reduce the discount to the vicinity of their charge, and avoid the recurrence of this unfortunate scarcity for future times. They could in this way never issue in excess, for as discount would by an overabundance be forced below the interest charged, Consols would then be fetched back, and the amount of notes afloat re. duced. A safe basis is of the utmost necessity, how ever. As the case stands now the Bank of England. beholden to give gold for every note, may in epee of very great pressure be obliged again to break its charter, as in '47, or in case of a run even be forced to stop cash payments. On the other hand, let anybody pretend to ray that for the said national notes the basis be not sufficient, when resting on a debt that ie identified with the nation, and when the wealth of the nation forms its guarantee. When adopted, the price of Console must rise, and the large interest gained will enable Ministers considerably to reduce the taxes, besides the prosperity sure t follow. Objections fall all to the gr )und. If gold and silver leave the country as they often do, it will, under such circumstances, no longer be an evil. Better to trade anal to buy food with the metals than have them looked up in the Bank, vaults, &e. They will be sure to come back to pay for manufactures, iron, coal, &c. Britain does, by their exportation, not lose her capital. Other objections are still weaker, if that the Bank of England would be deprived of its monopoly. She might continue to issue notes, and would not be so much a loser, as, perhaps, expected, for Government notes must then be considered a subititute for her pre sent reserve of bullion, permitting her to increase her active circulation. Serie bank-stock holders might not fancy the ides, but do they wi- , h to enjoy a monopoly, to the detriment of the whole community There is no country that could take up such a plan with equal advantage as England, for no other has al ways shown equal good faith to its creditors, and at the same time possesses so much power. The latter would thereby be increased, and the country earn the reward for its honesty. French national note=, however mighty that empire, would hardly meet with equal favour, nor Spanish, nor American. Russia was enabiol to wage the last expensive war by her Government notes, and is a poor country carepar?d with England. Shall Eng lishmen be outdone by Russians'? Rather appeal to the patriotism of your capitalists and Mercators, who so clearly see where their interests are lying, and they will then dovelope a plan, now crudely sketched by, Sir, your humble eervant, ADOLPHUS NOBILING. THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK.-ALLEGED FRAUDS OF Ti7E LATE MANAGER. _+ It is reported as extremely probable that the offieial manager under the Winding-up Acts will require the early attendance of Mr. Cameron, the lat e manager of the British Bank, in order to explain some mysterious entries in the books, which have been disc)vered in the course of the investigations. In one instance a person appears as a debtor to the bank, to the extent of 7001. — advances under a cash credit account. On being called upon by the official manager for payment of the debt, this person immediately denied that he had ever drawn a farthing of the above sum, and produced evidence to show that the cash credit had been obtained by Mr. Cameron, in his name, for his (Mr. Cameron's) own pur poses, but with his—the alleged debtor's—consent. It appears that while Mr. Cameron, from time to time, drew the various sums amounting to 7001., he, instead of placing them to the credit of the dummy customer, placed them to his dedit—thos making the latter appear as a debtor for the amount, and suppressing all evidence of his own operations on the account. It is thoueht that the two persons who became security for Mr. Cameron's dupe in this else, may be able to pay up a considerable amount, if not the whole of the debtor balance. As it is feared• that other accounts may be in the same position, a most searching investigation of the books is being made. Mr. Cameron is at present understood to be sojourn ing for the benefit of his health &La fashionable watering place in Germany. We have not heard by what pro cess it is proposed to procure his attendance in London, hat it is alleged that under the arrangements made he may be forthcoming without much delay.—Morning Advertiser.

LONDON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1856, The demand for bullion still continues. The tide is steadily flowing towards the Continent ; nor is there any probability of a speedy change It is more than hinted that a first-class firm—the Messrs. ROTHSCHILD, in fact, for there is nothing to demand concealment—have entered into con tracts to supply an enormous amount of specie to the Bank of France. Until this large sum—said to amount to 140,000,000 francs, or 5,600,000/. sterling—be transmitted to the Continent, there is no prospect of the Bank of England being en abled to retrieve its position. However large may be the receipts, they will be absorbed by these who can afford to pay more than the Old Lady of Threadneedle•street is authorised to offer. She is tied down to a fixed price. No matter how urgent may be the pressure, or serious the conse quences of any further reduction in her stook ; she cannot advance a single farthing in her bidding. The only competition will be between the agents of rival nations ; and, in case of any deficiency, they can come upon the Bank itself to supply their wants. France, Austria, even Russia, can draw upon oar coffers, and by tempt ing English capitalists to make investments in railways or stosam-packet companies (the vessels being constructed so as to be suitable for war purposes, although unarmed for the time being), can stop the life-blood of English industry, and reduce the trading population to the verge of ruin, and bring the greatest misery and privation to the houses of the working classes. We see the evil, but are powerless to arrest it. The impro vident legislation of 1844 has occasioned far greater mischief than the Russian war—albeit the latter cost us the lives of 50,000 of the best and bravest of our brethren, and 100,000,0001. sterling. system y io b n e of the in a paragraph edeplorablere sulAts o p f " th eu i r :s l y m may contained in the Tim es ' Cit y article of this day. The bulliouist organ announces stbat "Goldtbe brought by the Cham • pion of the Seas has been purchased partly by Messrs. ROTHSCHILD, and partly by Messrs. BARING. Th e sum taken by the latter is supposed to be on account of the Credit Mobilier, for transmission to Vi enna, to pay for Austrian Railroads, where it will be locked up in the vaults of the State Bank." Ny. e know that IVIOSSTS. ROTHSCHILD are acting on behalf of the French Government, and probably also, for some of their numerous and wealthy correspondents is all parts of the world. Here, then, we perceive the nature of the demand to which we are ex posed, and the paragraph, above referred to, will ba but one of many similar notices which, with the exception of the name of the vessel, may be stereotyped for future use. Foreign loans and foreign companies are the potent instruments by which these parties are enabled to act on our market. If the demand I were of the ordinary character, to arrange the balance of trade, we might hope that after a season of severe suffering the bullion might return to our shores. But it is not so ! Russia and Austria provide for the expenditure in paper money, while the specie " will be locked up in the vaults of the State banks " until they may be en- gaged in new wars, and find the means of fighting England with the money which she is scattering abroad with lavish hand. Already we have witnessed the depreciation o every public and private security, and the enormous increase in the minimum rate of discount at the quasi National Bank, which of course rules far lower than at any private establishment. It is now no less than seven per cent. for bills having more than 60 days to run—a rate never exceeded since the establishment of the Corporation, save at the time of the virtual suspension of its Char ter by the issue of the Government Letter of the 25th of October, 1847. How can the industrial community—the com mercial and manufacturing interests—bear this extraordinary charge, which must transfer their entire profits into the hands of the moneyocracy, arrest production, and leave the labouring popu lation starving in the midst of plenty ? Where will then be the receipts on which the Chancellor of the Exchequer so fondly calculates ? And how will he provide for the deficiency that must in evitably arise ? As the Times justly remarked last week, "if the Bank of France are determined to buy gold at any sacrifice, no addition of one or two per cent. per annum, on the rate of bills of exchange will be regarded. The only limit to such an operation must be found in the exhaustion of their power to buy up bills an this country, or to obtain credits here." This, however, is a very remote anticipation—one that may not occur until the Bank coffers are thoroughly drained, and the circulating medium in the hands of the public reduced to a moiety of its present amount. Then we shall find stringent measures adopted to prevent the return of the precious metals ; for them there will be nulla vcstigla re trorsum—no possible chance of a return of the tide. It is, then, folly of the worst description to defer remedial measures until the evil has been consummated. We must " shut the stable-door" before the steed has been carried off. There is but one chance for the country, and that is the establishment of a really National Bank, authorised to issue notes of small denomi nations, for 11., 21., and 31. each, and probably for intermediate fractional sums, as for 1/. 55., 11. 10=., and 1/. 155., which Irish experience shows to have greatly economised the use of silver, and thus proved very beneficial to the country. These being receivable in the payment of taxes, and indeed of every public and private demand, would maintain their value under all circumstances ; while the precious metals would sell for what they were fairly worth—the amount of the demand being represented by their appreciation, instead of the depreciation, in the quotations of all other commodities. We cannot conclude without directing attention to the communication of a respected correspon dent, which will ba found in another part of this day's impression. Mr. Nosuud has discovered the true remedy, and if his advice were followed, with some trivial modifications, the formidable danger now impending over the nation would be averted, and we should be spared the painful dis covery, that the folly of our rulers in time of peaco may be far more prejudicial to the best interests of the country than the most strenuous efforts of our most powerful opponents in the time of war. A girdle will in all human probability be put about the earth before much longer, in a fractional part of the time hinted at by ROBIN GIOODFELLOW. Not in " forty minutes," but in the twinkling of an eye, in the flash of a second, in the one instan taneous throb of a pendulum. Preparations being actually now made for the connecting together of the various wires of the electric telegraph already laid down and in actual operation, as well as for the extension of those marvellous lines of inter communication eastwards and westwards, trailed along the bed of the ocean, carried over empires and continents, through the heart of populous cities, across the rocky barriers of the great moun tain ranges, and over the level wastes of the vast desert-plains of Asia. These things are no longer regarded, even by the most prosaic man amongst us, as the mere phatitasies of some idle and fantastic imagination. They are among the most visible and substantial truths of our generation. The realisation, no doubt, of what once upon a time were simply so many charming day-dreams—the theme of those graceful wits who were wont to illustrate the age of ANNB by the exquisite penny essays of the " Spectator." For, conspicuous among the many delightful spe culations indulged in by ADDISON and STEELE, and their ever genial but subordinate collabora tvarg, there actually did come forth one fine morning, to be laid among the equipage of the breakfast-table, to be nibbled at with the rolls and sipped with the chocolate of the periwigged beaux and furbelowed fine gentlewomen of the period, a copy of that classical periodical, in which was a magical foreshadowing of 4 the miraculous needle nowadays clicking and quivering upon the dials of all the " sta tions," north, south, east, and west, in the Old World and in the New, in Europe and in America. The little sensitive indicator of the " thoughts that breathe and words that burn"— thoughts a►nd words that traverse thousands of miles in a twinkling, at the bidding of the mar vellous motive-power of that latest, if not the greatest, among all the many. " wonders of the world," the Electric Telegraph. Yet—a little earlier even than the morning which gave birth to that wonderfully prophetic paper in the Spectator of Sir RICHARD STEELE and the Right Hon. JOSEPH ADDISON, there had actually been put forth, not marely as a pleasant fancy, but as a serious and substantial proposition, a daring contrivance, the carrying out of which is still meditated to this very day, but " still " only meditated—not, as with the vision of the wonder-.working Needle of Conversation actually realised ! WILLIAM PATTERSON, the founder of the. Bank of England, suggested (as history relates) years before the issue of that copy of the ;Spectator—, the cutting through the isthmus of Panama of a grand ship canal, connecting the commerce of the Pacific and of the Atlantic by a direct and per manent channel of interoceanic communication. PATTERSON proposed, in furtherance of this scheme, the establishment of a vast central me tropolis for the world's enterprise at Darien—the grand mercantile capital as he conceived it ought, by reason of its geographical position, to prove ultimately—the capital whence might be regulated the trade of both hemispheres. A hundred years and more pass by—when lo ! the eccentric day-dream of an essayist in the Spectator resolves itself into a fact actually realised, a reality ac tually in daily and hourly operation ! While the business-like plan chalked out long be fore then by a practical Scotchman, a Scotchman as t0114110513-like WA practical, as WILLIAX tilE SUN, l 4 -o'l . --eirDON, THUR - SDAA IVENING, OC rOBER 16, 1856 TERSON, the celebrated founder of the Bank of England, still continues to this day—as we have said, as we have seen, as we all of us so very well know—merely talked about, merely dreamt of, merely suggested : a scheme upon the verit able realisation of which no one has yet seriously and energetically adventured. The Electric Telegraph already threads with its magical wires almost all the principal quarters of the European and North American Continents. It flashes night and day under the waters of the English Channel ; it is actually in course of being carried under the billows of the Mediterranean. It is on the eve of having an enormous coil of wire " payed out" between Ireland and Canada, submerged under the depths of the Atlantic, to thrill like an exquisite nerve of sympathy between the eastern and the western hemispheres. A little while longer, and the sys tem of electric communication between all parts of the habitable globe can hardly fail, in GOD'S good time, to be completed. A succession of wires being linked together from London, through most of the European capitals, across the Channel, across the Mediterranean, along the northern coast of Africa, through Egypt, onwards to Hin dostan, beneath the Chinese waters, and so for ward by the Japanese archipelago, till, having traversed the northern bed of the Pacific, the electric current may pass onwards, still with the momentary fleetness of lightning, through the California line, spanning, as is proposed, the ample breadth of the Atlantic), and thus completing the circuit to London by way of San Francisco. A single instantaneous quiver of the needle at Cornhill marking the flash of the electric spark at one scintillation around the broad circumference of the World. The necessary preliminaries towards the actual accomplishment of this, have already been commenced—many of them having been long since substantially completed. The realisa- tion of the entire scheme being literally now merely a question of time. Yet all this while the Darien Ship-414na1, proposed between one and two hun dred years ago by WILLIAM PATTERSON, though still admitted on all hands to be in every way most feasible—the Darien Ship-Canal of PATTER SON'S suggestion is to this hour nothing more nor less than , a suggestion. As with the Isthmus of Panama—so too has it been, so too is it to this day, with the Isthmus of Suez. Although the latter was proposed at different times to be severed by the engineers of MEHEMET ALI, as it had pre viously been intended to be sundered by the great modern CAESAR—NAPOLEON. In spite of all which auguries of success Suez and Panama still offer a virgin field to engineering enterprise. Can not some wholesome incentive to this enterprise be discovered in the startling, and, in a certain sense, humiliating contrast displayed between the serious project, on the one hand, of the Darien Ship-Canal, and on the other the fanciful day dream, the unconscious prophecy, as it may be Gilled, of what has ripened in our own days into that great world's wonder, the Electric Tele graph. Have we got the right men at the Meiropo- litan Board, beginning with the Chairman down wards ? With all the disposition we have shown not to press too heavily on the Board, inaugurated as its career was with an influx of claims on its attention of a magnitude never perhaps surpassed in- corporate history, we begin to think seriously we have not The manner in which business is conducted at the Board Room is described to us as anything but creditable. The Chairman seems to possess but little authority, and the members, who would be facetious if they could, relieve by bad jokes displays of bantum-like pug nacity, which occur with such frequency that one member may be said to lie in wait for a pock and a crow at another. No order—knots of talkers--no business done confusion—and salaries going on as usual. The accuracy of this description, we fear, can be too readily verified. Not a feeling we have in rela tion to the Board but is pained—mortified at its procedure. Deeply impressed with the evils of bureaucracy, we cannot but grieve at a show of reason being thus afforded to the un-English admirers of centralisation. "Would to HEAVEN I" we are tempted to eicclaim, "we could transfer one of our provincial corporations—Manchester or Salford, for instance—to the Metropolitan Board, and a plan worthy of the exigencies of the case would be decided on in a fortnight. No lame jokes, nor systematic personal hostility over a subject, involving, as Dr. LETREBY shows in his admir able Report, " so vast a sacrifice of useful lives, would be allowed to interpose between their deli berations and so desirable a consummation." The bugbear of the Board appears to be the fear of needless expenditure. Let them lay aside their foolery, and look at the matter like reason able beings. Myriads of the population are daily deteriorating in health, and thousands are being cut off in infancy and at the prime of life for want of an efficient system of sewerage. Nolens volens a system is to be adopted and carried out under certain provisions of an Act of Parliament. Hitherto the Board have been trying to evade the obligations entailed by those provisions. They want the work done cheaply. Now, no work, especially no work of this description, can be said to be done cheaply that is not well done, and no scheme that does not give fair promise of accom plishing this desideratum will meet with the ap probation of the Board of Works. What scheme will accomplish it ? Any hitherto brought before the Board ? It is admitted that which proposes the disemboguement of the" sewerage at Sea Reach will do so—it is more than doubted the Long Reach disemboguernent will not. Why should there be any further delay? Is a better scheme than either forthcoming, or likely to be so ? Who will undertake to answer in the affirmative ? Why not decide at once and set to work like men, and not like a parcel of Brobdignagian babies ? The difference of expenditure between the two schemes will only invol ve an ex tra halfpenny in the pound —and to the S ea R eac h, if public opinion is to be relied on, they w ill h ave to go at last. Hesitation and delay are worse than foolish— they are positively criminal. Would H'', 'Board have it recorded of them that, to avsid a paltry outlay—for, taking into account tl), - a vast popu lation and extraordinary wealt,', l of the metropolis, an extra wereamillion is a palt7 f increase of expendi ture—they C°Ptellt to stultify the principle of self - goverw: ien t, and be accessories to the destrue:tion of thousands of the popula tion ? Let us again furnishing O remind them they are indisputable evidence of the truth of such a n ' a ll egat i on. T o one and all we say, study Dr. LETHEBY'S Report, weigh well his appalling statistics, get them off by heart, and quit you like Englishmen ! The •pallid cheek, the prematurely feeble frame, the raging fever, and the hollow cough, ought to speak more eloquently than we can. Listen to their appeal. Believe in the ratepayers ; don't defame and dis honour them without substantial cause. They don't like to have their earnings wasted, but we protest with both hands they would shudder at the thought of refusing or grumbling at any ex penditure necessary to rescue the metropolis from pestileue l iiACI themselves and their helplesS brethren from the jaws of a daily and hourly I encroaching death ! Henceforth, let the motto of the Board be " Seaward, ho !" adding, wo will do our duty, and if the Sea Reach scheme does cost an extra million or more the money will be well spent, and we can abide the result with con fidence. No more chilly shallying ! no more dodging or waiting on the Board of Works—but " do it !" and set about the task at once ! Any scheme of deodorisation can be considered and carried out afterwards.

Lord Palmerston visited on Monday the extensive Ordnance establishment in Southampton, where the trigonometrical survey of the United Kingdom is car ried on. The staff of this establishment is several hundred strong, and considerable additions to the Ord- nance building; are now being made. The marriage of the young Princess Mathilde, daughter of Prince Charles Bonaparte, with Count Louis de Canobaceres, was celebrated on Tuesday at the Chapel of the Tuileries. The Duchess of Parma has dismissed several high employ's, " ben :use the state of their health did not per mit of their discharging their duties properly." It is in contemplation to make Southampton the head quarters of the Medical Staff Corps. The municipal council of Mantua has voted a consi derable sum for the reception of the Emperor of Austria, aud, in order to perpetuate the remembrance of that event, has likewise destined a capital of 60,0001 r. for the erection of a school of reform for young boys. A private letter has been received in Southampton from a person belonging to the Tay steamer, which states that after she had struck all on board landed on an uninhabited island, where they remained three days, and lined on a biscuit a day per man. Fortunately water was found on the island, or great numbers would have perished. The crew were talien off by a Mexican war-steamer, and conveyed to Tampico, where the letter was written. There was no withdrawal of gold from the Bank o Eng!and yesterday. It is rumoured that Paymaster Mowbray will suc seed the late W. Bell, Esq., in the Royal Yacht. The inquiry for silver has greatly subsided, and 30,000/. of Mexican dollars, which were brought yester day by the New York steamer, have not yet been sold. A convict attempted to escape yesterday morning from Portsmouth Dockyard, but he was recaptured by the police after an absence of half an hour.

Finn IN SMITHFIELD. —A destructive fire broke out last night on the premises of Mr. Machow White, Hart court, West Smithfield, and was not extinguished until the building was entirely consumed. The surrounding property was at one time in great danger. RoesoN, THE ACTOR.—This gentleman, who was a few days ago suddenly attacked with illness at Man chester, has recovered his health, and, according to the Manchester papers of yesterday, was to appear at the theatre that evening. The Star of Peace has arrived from Sydney with 212 ounces of gold, valued at 8481. It appears that the Jas. Baines, from Melbourne, is expected to bring about 500,0001., and that the Lightning is also likely to bring a very heavy amount. Beth vessels may be looked for during the next three weeks. OMER PACHA AND THE PRINCESS DADlAN.—Ancther correspondent of the Times, this morning, states, in contradiction to the assertion of Lieutenant Cadell, that 1001. would cover the damage sustained by the Princess; that he saw a large quantity of the property of the lady shipped on board a Turkish steamer and sent to Omer's residence at the Bosphorus. THE LATE ROBBERY AT THE BANK OF AUSTRA LASIA.—Yestorday, John Andrews, a horse-dealer, re siding in the Hackney-road, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having changed a twenty pound note, which formed a portion of the property stolen from this bank. The roan said it was part of 5 sum of 751. he had borrowed from a friend, named Mon teau. This assertion was denied. He was remanded for a week. At the half yearly meeting of the Agra and United Service Bank, held at Calcutta on the 15th of August, the profits for the six mouths were stated at 62,3721 , which, after payment of a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum and the appropriation of 11,0001. for the purchase and building of premises for the branches at Bombay and Canton, leaves 13,8721. to be carried to the reserve fund, making the total amount of that fund 137,390/. RUMOURS OF A STRIKE IN PARlS.—Runioura of a strike among some classes of the Parisian workmen were rife yesterday. It has not, however, taken place, but it is feared it may do so in several trades,—among others, the plasterers, and the workmen of the quays, and even a portion of the hackney-coach drivers are spoken of as likely to follow the example. Should it occur, it has nothing of a menacing character ; but these symptoms of discontent, and perhaps of distress, may be followed by others, and we do not now learn for the first time that political agitators are ever on the watch to take advantage of any cirounestance in their favour. —Times (seemed edition). FREAKS OF THE OFFICERS UNDER AninisT AT BRIGH TON.—On Monday morning, at half-past three o'clock (as we are informed by a respectable inhabitant residing at the north part of the town), the inhabitants of the Lewes-road were awoke by a loud noise and shouting. A quarrel, it seems, bad taken place between Lor d Ernesb Vane and Cornet Dirt (supposed to be under arrest), who had just driven up to the stables occupied by his lordship, at the Race Hill Inn. From what our informant could see, his lordship knocked Mr. Birt out of the vehicle, using very bad language, and afterwards a general fight took place between all parties, the grooms included. This continued for soma time, until the p o . lice came up and put an end to the affair. His lordship then drove away towards the barracks.—Brighton Guar dian of yesterday. REPORTED MILITARY BARBARITY AT WOOLWICH. We have received a comaiunication from Woolwich to the effect that on Tuesday s serpent in the Foot Artil lery was subjected to the disgrace and barbarity of re ceiving fifty lashes, and that then he was branded with the letter " D," drummed out of the regiment, and sent to the treadmill for twel v e months, with hard labour. - We forbear to offer any observations on the affair—sur poi•ing it shall turn out t o be true— until some further particulars are placed before us.

LATEST NEWS. The Paris Correspondent of the Times (second edition), in his letter of yesterday, says :-- "This day, in all probability, the note of the allies will have been communicated by Baron Brenier to the King of Naples. The repeated assurance is given that the note in question is couched in very moderato and conciliatory terms. The effect no one supposes will be what France and England desire namely, com pliance with the earnest admonitions aldressed by them to King Ferdinand. The instruc tions of Baron Brenier are, that if his Majesty persists in refusing, he is to demand his passports, and withdraw with the - whole of his Legation. Similar instructions have, no doubt, been sent to the British Minister. With respect to the fleets, it is stated that the French squadron will proceed to Malta to join the British, and that both will await there the result of the last note and the final answer of the King ; and if it prove, as is anti cipated, unfavourable, they are then to proceed towards, but not to, the Italian coast. On this point, however, there exists some difference ; yet it is evident that ships must be at hand to receive such French and British residents as may not con sider it safe to stay after the departure of their respective Legations. It, is, however, believed that the consequences will be pacific —at any rate, that nothing will be done to provoke a revo ,ution either in Sicily or Naples." The Vienna correspondent of the Times (second edition), in his letter date]. Oct. 12, writes as follows : "The Governmental organs of the Austrian press make not the slightest mention either of General von Martini or of his mission, but tke following reliable communication as to the actual state of the Neapolitan question has this morning reached nw The King posi tively refuses to pledge himself to make the concessions required, and you may there ' fore soon expect to hear that the ships of one or both of the Western Powers have appeared in the Bay of Naples.' A north German paper, which is generally well. informed on Russian matters, states that there is a very considerable difference in the wording of the special Notes not long since addressed by the St. Petersburg Cabinet to the French and Austrian Governments. The Rus sian Government almost warns' the French Cabinet against sharing in an expedition which it says would be a violation of all international law, but in his note to the Austrian Govern ment, Prince Gortschakoff presupposes that it disapproves of the measures which the Western Powers propose to take agai ns t th e Ki ng o f Naples, and accordingly calls on it to oppose them. That this Government obeyed the summons, and strongly urged the French Cabinet to make a retrograde movement in the Neapolitan affair, is a notorious fact, but it is believed to have met With but partial success. The Emperor Napoleon consented to delay the departure of the expedi tion, but there is no reason to suppose that he propked not to make common cause with Eng land." The Paris correspondent of the Mona,lig Post dated yesterday, (second edition), in his letter says : " It is announced from Vienna that despatches had reached there from Naples. Of course there are hopes' of a pacific termination of the Nea politan difficulties, and those hopes' are, as usual, forwarded to Paris. The courier who, I presume, took despatches recalling the members of her Majesty's mission ought to reach Naples this evening. If this act, with a similar proceed ing on the part of France, does not result in ob taining concessions from tho King, then I hear the fleets are to leave—that is, as soon as tele graphic intelligence to that effect reaches London and Paris. Meanwhile the French squadron rests at Toulon, and everything is unchanged. " In my letter of yesterday r took occasion to inform you that since the arrival of the Emperor in Paris the questions relating to foreign affairs had ' assumed a more decided attitude, and that the action of England and France would be more united and decided. Such is the wish of the Emperor, I am assured ; and if his tMas withjes commands are carried out our . difficulties Russia and the King of Naples will „ ere long be m brought to a sa tisfactory cencluon. A letter from Vienna, in the Wartinfrg Grazette, says :--- " The Neapolitan Government continues its armaments with the greatest activity. The war reserves have been called out, which will bring up the force of the infantry to nearly 'lO,OOO. A special credit has been opened to General Filan gieri, the chief of the artillery, who is occupied in replacing all the old guns on the batteries by now ones. The same activity is displayed in the naval department. The, King has ordered that all the vessels of war shall be fitted out for ser vice, and that operation is going on so rapidly that in a short time 2 liue-of-battle ship s , 15 sailing and steam frigates, 2 corvettes, and several small steamers, and a great number of gun-boats will be ready to leave the Neapolitan ports." According to the Ost Deutsche Post the Am bassadors of the yVestern Powers at Naples have in all probability by this time been recalled ; but the fleets will only proceed to Malta, where they will remain in observation. The same journal adds that tlre difficulty is in a f a i r wa y o f settlement. RUSSIA. A letter from St. Petersburg, of the sth, says The Minister of Public Instruction has re turned here from th e t our w hi c h h e h as b e en mak ing for several months past in the various govern ments of Russia, and Particularly in the Ce ntral and Wtstern on es . lie has sent 'in full reports to the Emperor relative to tho visits which he made to the several universities. In general his reports express satisfaction at what he saw, but they also point out many items on which improvements are i called for." Th e same l e tter says The ncor poration of the regiments of the old dragoon corps in the 7th ca va l r y division of theactive just been effected. This proceeding lessens the army has Russian army by five regiments. FRANCE• _ PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING. - - The Moniteur spublishes the return of the re ceipts of the indirect taxes for the first nine months of the present year, amounting to 754,218,0001., being an increase ou the corresponding period of 1853 of 54,429,000 f. The branches of the revenue which, ou a comparison of the two periods show the greatest improvement are, portabl e liquors 21,769,0001. ; registration dues 17,241,000 f. ; beet root sugar 14,624,000 f. ; sale of tobacco 7,310,000 f. ; i r 2uort duty on French colonial suger 3,626,0001. ; duties 2,385,0001.

A. correspondent of the Nord, of Brussels, writing from Paris, says :—" I have just learned that Mar Alai Serrano, am bassador at the French Court, has received a despatch from the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, informing him that the change of Ministry has no political signification, and is a spontaneous and personal act of the Queen."

The Madrid journals of the 11th give an account of what took place on the previous day, the anni versary of the Queen's birthday. Her Majesty sent 25,000 reals to the governor of the province for the poor, and caused numerous alms to be distributed at the palace ; the Minister of War (O'Donnell) passed a review of the troop ; the Queen held a reception, at which more than 1,000 persons were present ; and her Majesty gave a grand ball at the palace in the evening. The It'poca contains the following passage, which reads strangely when we bear in mind that the unexpected change of ministry took place on the 13th, or very little more than four-and-twenty hours after that journal was published :—" At the reception the Queen gave the President of the Council and the other Ministers unequivocal proofs of the pleasure which she felt at the conciliatory policy of the present Cabinet, which tends to draw together all the important political men in Spain. Our august Sovereign did the same at the ball in the evening. Her Majesty opened the ball with the President of the Council (O'Donnell) as her partner, and Marshal Narvaez had the honour of dancing with her afterwards. Her Majesty also danced with M. Rios Rosas, Minister of the Interior, with Gene ral de la Concha, with General Echague, Civil governor of Madrid, and with a member of the corps diplomatique, whose name we could not ascertain. The ball was very brilliant, and it was not until after four o'clock in the morning that the Queen left it. The Leon Espanol and the Espana, organs of Narvaez's party, vehemently deny that there was any truth in the assertion of a Cadiz journal (which has created some sensation) that a sort of conspiracy had been formed in the house of the Duke de Rivas for ousting O'Donnell and his colleagues, and forming a new Ministry of Gen• Narvaez, the Duke de Rivas, M. Moyano, Nocedal, and others. The Madrid Gazette pub lishes a decree which re-establishes in the province of Guipuscoa the Central Howe of the Jesuits, which was founded in 1851 under the Ministry of M. Bravo Murillo, and closed at the revolution of 1854. MONTENEGRO. A letter from Cattaro of the sth, in the ilystr;av , Gatte, says :—" All is quiet in Montenegro, and the taxes, es!ablished a few years ago by Prince Danilo, are being collected without difficulty. The prince is employing the workmen who have re turned from Constantinople in the construction of a road from Cettingen to the mountains, and in the completion of the fortifications commenced in 1852 in the defile of Zahijack. The Russian con sul at Ragusa and the French charge d'affaires at Scutari have frequent interviews with the prince, but are compelled to address themselves generally to the president of the Senate, George, on who'll the prince has thrown the burden of affairs." EGYPT. - A letter from Alexandria, in the Constitutionnel , says :—" The Viceroy previous to his return re mained a few days at Beuisoneff, in order to select a dwelling-place for a troop of 1,500 Bedouins, who belonged to the revolted tribes, and have asked pardon. This pardon had been granted by the Viceroy, on condition that they should renounce their wandering existence, and settle on some spot where territory would be assigned them. These conditions wore accepted, and the Viceroy has himself selected the territory which is to be given to them for cultivation." PERSIA. Accounts from Teheran state that M. Bouree, French Minister at the Court of Persia, and Baron Lejeune, the bearer of the decorations sent by the Emperor of the French to the Shah, had in July a solemn audience of the latter monarch. The two diplomatists, in a carriage drawn by six horses and preceded by outriders in full livery, arrived at the royal camp escorted by numerous troops of cavalry and officers sent by the King. On reaching the palace, they were introduced with the usual Eastern ceremonial. His Majesty, .dressed in a brilliant uniform, covered with diamonds and pearls, and with the Pe: sian head-dress, sur mounted by an aigrette in brillia.nts, was seated in the grand throne-room, where he received the in signia from the Emperor Napoleon with marks of the highest satisfaction. After a short audience, the French diplomatists withdrew, and were car ried back to their residence with the same ccre menial that had been ari,:inged for their coming. A letter from Galatz of the Bth, in the Prussian , Correspondence, says :—" The English commis sioner for the regularisation of the Danubian fron' tiers arrived here from Constantinople by the last steamer. The Prussian and Austrian commission ers are expected by the next." A letter from Hanover of the 10th says "The Royal family returned yesterday from their excursion to the Hartz mountains. The Prince de Solms-Braunfels, who represented the Xing at the coronation of the Emperor Alexander, has ar rived here from Moscow." THE FINAACES OF FRANCE. It is firmly believed in Tienna that the finance of France are in much the same state as 'those of Austria were after the Italian and Hungarian wars, and that she will eventually be obliged to have recourse to the same extreme measures. One of those measures was, that the lieges were obliged to take the notes of the State and Bank at a " forced course," and the result of it was that the prices of all the necessaries of life immediately rose in proportion to the dif ference which there was in the market between real and nominal money. As the , highest premium on silver was some 28 or 30 per cent., the trades people made that difference in their prices, and those prices are almost unchanged, although the premium on silver has long been but trifling. There is a vast difference between the character of the French and Austrians, and the Emperor Na poleon will, perhaps, do well to recollect that a , measure which could be taken with impunity in this country maybe attended with very disastrous cow seq:nences in France. A strong impression prevails hero that the star of Napoleon is on the decline, and therefore French and English diplomatists will do well to keep both eyes and ears open. Austria has a l wa ys been o Miged to have some great continental Power to lean on, and the probability is that she wo uld immediately en deavour to renew the allian ce with Russia if any untoward event should occur in France.
