MONEIY MARKET COVEMEROIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLooK. The Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, closed fru:lly, and prices of Americans were id. per lb. dearer than on Friday. The sales were 8,000 bales (1,000 for export, and 1,000 on speculation), comprising 350 Pernam and Maranham, at 6-kd. to ; 300 Egyptian, qd. to 9d. ; 800 Surat, 4d. to bid. per lb. The Railway Share Market opened quietly, but subsequently improved, and closed firmly at the best point. With regard to the busi ness transacted in wool, at Liverpool, during the Mt month, Messrs. Abram, Gartside, and C ompany state as follows At the public ' i alee, which commenced here on the 26th ult., and terminated on the 3d inst., there were offered 9 )386 bales East India, 4,398 Peruvian, and 4,501 other wools. The principal part found buyers at an advance of Id. per lb. on the rates produced at our public :3ales in June, and equal to the London August seri es. The general attendance was large, continental buyers being in greater force than usual, and as they purchased very freely we attri bute the utaintenance of our present quotations to t heir competition with the Yorkshire buyers, who c ame here vinticipating a decline in consequence of the falling off in Government orders for the blanket district, where East India wools are chiefly used. Last Indias were all sold at Is. Old. to ls. 3d. for fi ne white, 71(1. to Is. ; coarse to middling do., 10 0. to ls.

Commercial advices from Germany mention that t he delegate s of the States of the Zollverein have a'isembled 7it Weimar, and, after a long debate, have rejecte d the proposition brought forward by Prussia to r wise the duty on manufactured and leaf tobacco iml ,orted into Germany. The proposition latended ) reduce the duty on foreign iron has not been re ceived with unanimity, and the result of their deliberations on this subject has been to retain the taw at present in force. During the greater um nber of their meetings it has been re marked tl lat the members generally sepa rated them! :elves into two parties—one party who defends th Le material interests of the com mercial stat , as in the south of Germany, and the other camb at ting for the predominance in the north ern S ta tes. The consequence is, that very l i ttle has becm done towards the reform of the cus toms throul shout the Zollverein Union by this mush talks(( of conference. The accoi tats from the German bourses are more f avourable, especially at Berlin and Vienna ; and t he restricti ons adopted by the bankers at Frank fort, Leipsit and other central commercial towns, t° Prevent t be drainage of silver thalers, has im- P r °Yed the a money markets generally ; while there also a r( Auction going on in the quantity of p a per mone,y in circulation. t T he wiry for discount accommodation in "onibard-! street and at the Bank of England is quieter, bat the rates are fully maintained.

LINES LEASED AT FIXED RENTALS. ing-house in Narrow-street, Limehouse, breaking up a cistern, and stealing 30 lbs. of lead therefrom. Edward Norton, in the employ of Harper, Burns, and Co., bottle-merchants, left a dwelling-house in which he had lodged on Friday, when everything was safe. On the following evening he discovered that the house had been entered, a cistern broken up, and part of it carried away. The thieves got over a high wall into a yard, and then broke into the house. Charles Abbott, a police-constable, No. 322 K, said he found the stolen lead in the shop of a marine store dealer, nam e d Ann Scofield, in Fore-iti 7 eet, LinTehouse. Mrs. Scofield said she sold tobacco, and only bought a few little things. The boys brought in the lead to her shop on Saturday night, and said they got it honestly, and it was quite right ; and also said, "Don't be afraid to buy it, Mrs. Scofield." She would not have bought the lead if she did not think it was honestly come by. Mr. Yardley—You are thinking of your own defence more than giving evidence properly. The prisoners, in defence, said they saw a boy con cealirg the copper behind a brick wall, and they took it and sold it to Mrs. Scofield, who said, "Put it behind the counter ; make haste, or the policeman will be here. They have taken one boy out of my shop." They threw the lead behind the counter by her direction, and left the shop, and went again for the money. She told them to bring all the lead they could. Mr. Yardley—Do you mean to say you robbed the ;bief ? Burns —Yes, sir ; another boy took the lead out of the house, and we sold it, and because we did not give him his regulars (equal share of the proceeds) he peached upon us, and told the policeman to look after us. An Irishman, named Daniel Donovan, said he was the uncle of the boy Driscott, who had never been in trouble before, and that the old woman Scofield, of 68, Fore-street, was the ruin of half the boys in Limehouse, for she gave them tobacco, ginger -beer, cigars, and sweetmeats for anything they could bring her. Mr. Yardley was sorry the marine store-dealer had been put into the witness-box. She ought to have been charged as a receiver. He directed the policeman if he found any more stolen property in Mrs. Scofield's shop, to take her into custody and charge her as a receive r. He then sentenced Driscott to one month's imprison ment and hard labour, and Burns alias Smith to six weeks' imprisonment and hard labour. LITERATIJRE. Out on the World. By Henry Owgan, LL.D. 3 vols. Hurst and Blackett. The title Of this work suggests a being isolated and peculiar, set apart from social ties and home retirement, and such is exactly the case with the subject of these memoirs. He had no fixed place or settled employment ; he possessed few friends, and his intercourse with them was not of that con stant kind which insures a resource, ready and available, in difficulty and distress. He was also tried by the fluctuation of his fortunes —alternating poverty and wealth—and again he was left desti tute. It may not be an ordinary instance that is here traced, as far as regards circumstances,. but the character of Richard Neville is a natural one. The isolation of his position rendered him careless and indifferent concerning many points which, under happier auspices, would have engrossed his atten tion. When the fortune so unexpectedly bequeathed him placed him in an independent state he did not seek to better his prospects, or even to guard against their not being injured by any chance casualties. The same carelessness characterised his intercourse with the two accomplished foreigners whom he met with in the society of Clifton. The unfortunate Marguerite was not to be classed in the same category with the base Da La Roche; but they were the cause of great mischief to his reputa tion. The after life of the supposed Count is a striking episode in the story. The way in which be contrived to escape in a coffin from prison is very ingenious, and the horror of the unsuspecting Neville, when he meets in a gaming-house with the man whom he supposes to have seen interred, may be imagined. The tragic end of the Countess, Neville's first wife, is a painful incident, though the event that gave rise to it was not an uncommon one at the period of the Revolution. Ormsby and Emily Hautonrale were the truest friends of the wanderer. He could always meet with sympathy from them, but, unhappily, he did not always meet them when in most need of help, and he was averse to looking out for assistance of any sort. This feeling, which was false pride rather than praiseworthy independence, made him a great suf ferer at one time, when, after a shipwreck, in which he had lost everything, he found himself nearly destitute of the means of living. Ormsby, who would gladly have befriended him, did not even know that he was not then beyond the seas, as he had purposed being. It was then that Neville encountered a new trouble in the persecu tion of an old enemy ; and the evil deeds wrought by intolerance and pretended piety are ably exposed in the delineation of the Rev. Josiah Fitzglosa. One of the greatest troubles of the life of N eville was his estrangement from his father. He had left the paternal roof when a boy, in consequence of a quarrel with his father, and bad never since been able to find out what had become of him. He was fortunate enough to render a service to a melan choly recluse, and on subsequent acquaintance he discovered him to be his long-lost father. But his pleasure was not of long duration, for the next morning the relative, too late found, was no more. Surprise and excitement had hastened his end. After trying an immense variety of occupations, in several different phases of society, the hero takes leave of his readers with the determination of going abroad on a foreign appointment of considerable importance. He has previously been a member of Parliament, having become this on his return to affluence. The story includes many exciting scenes, amusing anecdotes, and well-sketched personages among its pages. There is almost every shade of gradation from the romantic to the prosaic, the last scion of an ancient line, the wealthy plebeian, the crafty adventurer, the ruined artisan, all com bine to form a contrast, besides the difference ex hibited by the selfish nature and the generous mind, which constitutes the most distinctive and insurmountable barrier of any. Although the career of Neville was not a smooth or sunny one there is much life and vivacity in the detail, and energy of spirit evinced in the description of his experiences. Those who wish for a straightforward style in composition and expression, neither meagre nor over-ornamented, will be satisfied with this work. Stars and Stripes; Or, American Impressions. By Ivan Golovia, W. Freeman. With a verbal alteration or two, and the omis sion of all charge, the item in his lawyer's bill which excited the author's indignation on his re turn to England, may be applied by us to his book. " Receiving letter from you, and not having under stood same ; answering accordingly." For " let ter" read book, and for "answering" wondering, and the thing is done. The strangest spelling, the motliest idioms, everywhere apparent, are infinitely less puzzling than to discover what this free and easy citizen of the world—this half Russian and half Frenchman—would be at. The only conclu sion we can arrive at with any sort of satisfaction is that, mortally offended with the ascendancy of the Know-nothings, who would exclude foreigners from the rights and privileges of American citizen ship, he has kept his resolution "to take it out of them" in abuse of their country. To be sure, he now and then vindicates the claims of the old country, which might entitle him to our gratitude, were it not evident this is not from regard for us, but the better to ventilate his spleen. Now we are not going to pretend the citizens of the United States are not fairly chargeable with a good deal of what he attributes to them—but deeply grieved and mortified as we are at the in jury they have inflicted and are inflicting on the cause of liberty, we cannot so far outrage common sense as to assent to the author's summary description of them—" Swindlers in the North, Slaveholders in the South, and bor der ruffians in the West, constitute the white po pulation of the glorious and great country' which boasts to be the leader of mankind." It may be, as he tells us, that the Union will not last eight years, but if the United States wore thus constituted common sense will tell the reader they could not have held together eight months 1 Swindling, slaveholding, and ruffianism there is in startling abundance, but to no such extent as this. The Anglo-Saxon and Norman blood never could so frightfully degenerate, and the present internal commotion is proof of it. Slavery and the eager pursuit of the "almighty dollar," have, doubt less, been productive of a low level of commer cial and political morality, of much tyranny and fraudulent dealing, but by no means of a state of society to which the author's description can with propriety be applied. Still, we trust and believe, there are left many millions who have not bowed the knee unto Baal. Notwithstanding this monstrous exaggeration, the work is by no means unentertaining. The author's naivete, though now and then provocative of indignation, is gene rally amusing, and some of his impressions bear the stamp of originality. Much as we respect the character of Washington, we are disposed to agree with him in thinking this hero of American independence an over-rated man, just as we believe with him the victories our cousins vaunt over us were no such great matters for boasting. It does not, it must be confessed, take much to make a military demigod in the States, and provided an enemy be licked, it is of little mo ment to Uncle Sam how. We find him here and there rebuking our Transatlantic friends forabusing us, by reminding them of their common origin. "As to the competition between America and England," he remarks, " I cannot help laughing at it, for at every step you meet records of the mother country." We are somewhat grieved to learn the Yankees have acquired the bad habit acquired by our army in Flanders, to wit, of f "swearing awfully," and this despite their puri tanic observance of " the Sabbath," which natu rally enough surprises him. He complains of "a general mistrust," everybody suspecting everybody of a design on his purse or entertaining such design. The American ladies do not please him , while the American cookery and sherry cobler to some ex tent do. What he has to say in connection with the fair sex is pretty much what might be expected from a citizen of the world. One hardly knows whether to laugh or be " riled" at his illustrative anecdotes, which, without being exactly prurient, are indi cative of an easy morality and a coxcombical con ceit. The following is curious. Penn, we are told, though the founder of the State bearing his name, a State in which imprisonment for debt is un known, was imprisoned this country for debt contracted by or for his friends. Life h e d escr ib es as of little account in the States—but living as being expensive, " because nearly everything comes from Europe." America, "itis a fact, is ruled by quite young men. is ph ilosophically less respected here than in Europe." This philosophically accounted for. It is not from want of feeling, but because Ame ricais a young country, and only young men are capable of the sustained energy its development domands. A comparison instituted between Ame rican slavery and Russian serfdom is said to be in favour of the former, because of the distinction of race. The Union, be beli e v es , will owe its dis solution to slavery. Eight years, however, as affairs nie at present, seems a long lease. " Heads, - be tells us, " are as much wanted in America as hands, and an exclusion of incapacities, Irish know-nothings, from voting, rather than the exclusion of intelligent foreigners from the rights of citizenship." We do not find much admiration eaprossed for American laws, nor cornmend a,tions of the administration of them. Hatred to 6reat Britain is said to be the main reason of American the sympathy for the Russians, and "to those who object to their good feeling towards the Czar _ es y . answer that Napoleon 111. is still as g rea pot." Otherwise their sympathies ar e of a harm t a d RAILWAYS.

IMPUDENT ROBBERY BY A JUVENILE THIEF.--John Clark, a smart-looking lad, sixteen years of age, was Placed at the bar before Mr. Combe, charged with steal ing a rump of beef, weighing thirteen pounds, from the shop of Mr. Barber, butcher, at No. 22, Great Dover road, Southwark. Richard Barber, son of the prosecutor, said that between 7 and 8 o'clock on the previous evening, he was standing a few yards from the shop looking at some musicians, and on turning round he saw the prisoner and another lad near the shop door. The prisoner was coming out with a rump of beef wrapped up in a hand- kerchief, when he seized hold of him. The prisoner said " Let me go; I'll not do it again." Witness, however, kept hold of him, and handed him over to the custody of a police constable. Witness had seen the beef safe near the scales about five minutes before, and it was worth eight shillings. Mr. Combo asked whether anything was known of the prisoner ? Police constable 96 M, who took him into custody, informed his worship that he knew nothing of him, but the manner in which he committed the robbery con vinced him that ho was an expert thief, The magistrate asked the prisoner whether he would prefer being tried by him or go to the sessions He replied that he would sooner be tried at once and have it all over. He was guilty of stealing the beef. Mr. Combe asked him where his friends resided ! He replied that he should not tell that, as he did not want them to know he was in prison. He had left some time, and got money as well as he could. Mr. Combe asked him what he was going to do with the beef ? The prisoner—Why, eat it, to be sure. What else should I do with it t Mr. Combs told him that he appeared to be an im pudent young thief, and it was no use wasting time to, speak to him. He should sentence him to four months hard labour in Wandsworth House of Correction. Tho prisoner was then removed by the gaoler laughing. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.) LONDON, Oct.

The supply of English wheat on sale in to-day's market was very moderate, and greatly out of condition. The few prime samples on the stands sold readily, at prices fully equal to those realised on Monday. Other kinds were slow in sale, but not cheaper. Tie imports of foreign wheat are 11,120 quarters. Most descriptions ruled steady, but only a retail business was transacted in them, at full quotations. Barley and malt changed hands steadily, at fully late rates. There was a steady detuand far oats, at very full paces. Both beans and peas moved off steadily, at citron:to rates. Flour was firm, but not dearer. ARRIVALS TEIS WErt. Wheat, Barley. I Malt.

COURT OF BANICRITPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) SAREETT V. KENNEDY THE NEWCASTLE COMMERCIAL ZANKING COMPANY). His Honour this morning gave his decision on the summons issued against the defendant, who was alleged to be indebted to the Newcastle Commercial Banking Company. The case was heard yesterday, when seve ral obiections were taken. His Honour said they were open to much discussion in another court or another stage of the proceedings, but he did not think he ought to dismiss the summons on the objections. The plaintiff's solicitor then applied for the defendant to be called upon to put in bail. His Honour said he would examine the plaintiff. The solicitor said that he was not here, as he did not wish to put the creditors to unnecessary expense. His Honour said that, in that case, he should not call upon the defendant to give bail. it was a serious amount 8,0001., and he could not call for a bond unless the plaintiff was here to be examined, to show that the process had been issued in due form and from right motives. —_. The solicitor then asked for an adjournment till to morrow. His Honour said he could not grant that. The plaintiff ought to have been present to support the sum mons, and as he was not, the summons must be dia. missed. Mr. Reed, for the defendant, applied for costs. His Honour said they mast abide by the result of the suit. Mr. Reed said there was only a joint action. His Honour said he could not grant costs. The proceedings in this court thereupon terminated. (Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.) IN RE C. H. COLLINS. This bankrupt was described as late of Great St. Helen's, now of Winchester -buildings, Southwark bridge•road, merchant, and dealer in shares, &c. The balance-sheet, prepared by Messrs. Hart Bro thers, extends from August, 1853, to August, 1856, and shows :—Debtor to creditors, 1,339/. Bs. ; to do. holding security, 7361. ; surplus (August, 1853), 5421. ; profits, 2,1141. lls. ; liabilities, 5861. ; good debts, 6381. ; pro perty in the bands of creditors, 430/. ; trade expenses, 714/. ; losses, 628/. Mr. Warrand, Basinghall-street, appeared for the bankrupt, and said he believed the assignees were satisfied with the accounts. Mr. Chidley, for the assignees, had no objection, and the bankrupt accordingly passed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. — (This Day.) MANSION-HOUSE. EMBEZZLEMENT. - Fredericl Charles Fisher, 40, Charlotte-terrace, Islington, an attorney's clerk, was charged before the Lord Mayor with embezzling 171., the property of bia employer, Mr. Henry D. Ilderton, an attorney, of Fenchurch-street. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner had been for some time in the prosecator's employ. On the 2d May the prisoner informed the prosecutor that on the previous day, in his absence, he had received a check for 101.175., from Mr. Jones, of 17, Poland-street, Oxford-street, which he had paid to prosecutor's ao count at Messrs. Barclay and Co., bankers. At the end of August, when prosecutor's cash book was made up there was no entry on the check for 10/. 175., but the prisoner persisted in saying he had paid it in. Mr. Jones deposed, that on the 30th April he paid to prisoner 10/. 175., at the prosecutor's office. He believed he paid the prisoner in notes and cash; prisoner gave him the receipts produced on receipt of the money. There were other charges against the prisoner of em bezzling small sums of money, paid to him by clients on account of his employer—viz., Harrison, 31. ; Treron, 30e.; and Phillips, el.; and in regard to the latter be furnished his master with a receipt that he had paid it over to another client, which was supposed to be a for gery. The prisoner, who is 26 years of age, was paid lis. per week wages. The prosecutor intimated his desire of abandoning the other charges ; and, after hearing further evidence, the prisoner was committed on the charge of embezzling 10/. 17s. EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—UTTERING FORGED BANK NOTES.—Richard Crompton Barford, described on the police sheet as a butcher, of 13, Thomas-street, Cara bridge-road, Mile-end, was charged with uttering, on four different occasions, four 51. Bank of England notes. Miss Day, of Fenchurch-street, deposed that she assisted her mother, who keeps a ham and tongue shop in Fenchurch-street. About six weeks since the pri soner came to the shop and purchased a small quantity of ham and beef, and tendered in payment of is. Bd. a 51. note. Before changing it he asked for a pen and ink, and wrote a name and address on it. Prisoner (a dirty-looking fellow with a white smock) —I always write my name and address on all notes I get changed. Witness said she was unable to identify the note from the four produced. About a week or so afterwards he came, had the same quantity of beef, and paid for it by a 51. note. He repeated the trick on two subsequent occasions, and on each occasion he had change given to him. She was unable positively to iden tify the notes. Yesterday morning two of the notes that had been paid away were returned as forgeries, on which she went to the cashbox and took out the other two notes which were also found to be forgeries. Yesterday afternoon the prisoner again called at the shop to purchase some more beef and ham, when she refused to s erve him, and to re h e m she had a charge against him for giving her forged notes. He appeared surprised at what she said and replied heknew where he got them. In the meantime an officer was sent for privately, and be was given into custody of Finnis, one of the detective-, and police constable 636. The prisoner when be called at the shop used the name of Mr. Follett a neighbour, and when the prisoner was given into custody she sent for that gentleman. The prisoner, who appeared to take the matter very coolly, declined to question the witness, but said, " She has said nothing but what is the truth. If you g i ve me time I will prove who I had the notes - from." The Lord Mayor—You shall have pl 9nty of time for that. I I‘barl't let you go before the case bias been folly investigated. Police-constable 636, who apprehended the prisoner, said that when he searched him he found a M. :note on him, which he had reason to believe was a forgery. No ra oey was found on him. —tor Scott said the prisoner at the station had Lo n otes at Croydon in paymeht for some said be had sheep. 'ely renianJed, The prisoner was ultimo• MOLES. JIIYENILE BURGLARS AND MARINI b.: (3 RE - DEALLEa. —Dennis Driscoll and James Burns, two boys, the vic tims of parental neglect and depravity, were brought before M. Yardley, obarged with breaking into s dwell 114 13 91 i 2i f 3 11 i 3; i less nature. The form adopted for the communi cation of hisimpressions is that of letters to mi. , nent personages here and abroad. Thus one is addressed to Victor Hugo, another to Louis Blanc, a third to Richard Cobden, a fourth to Felice Or sini, in Modena, a fifth to Eugene Sue, a sixth to Michel Chevalier, and the remainder of the thirty two letters to various individuals of a certain stand ing in Europe and America. With all it faults and philosophy the book is worth reading. The Westminster Review.—Often as the subjects. of " Alchemy and Alchemists" have been treated, the writer of the opening article has contrived to invest them with considerable interest, if not to contribute much to the commc,n stock of informa tion. "Budhi sm , Mythical and Historical," may ideas respecting recomm en d e d t o th e perusal of those whose this form of paganism are of a va g ue description. The claims of married women to a control over their own property find a champion in one of the contributors, who adduces a variety of argument and illustration by way of vindiceaon, and meets the various objections offered, as we ar e disposed to think with success. " George Forster," a German enthusiast, who, as a boy with his father, accompanied Captain Cuok in one of his voyages round the world, is introduced we suspect for the first time to the reader. One of the German literati, his fate appears to have been strange and gloomy, though he acquired the love and esteem of men whose affectionate regard was in itself high praise. The rock on which be split was politics. " Edinburgh Fifty Years Ago," we fancy, will be the most popular article in the number. The writer inquires, " Will aoybody give us a history of Scotland from the year .1745 to the present time ?" and adduces abundant rea sons why such history should be written. Altoge ther the article is one which, irrespective of the galaxy of literary stars which it cau ses again to flit before us, is well deserving of a thoughtful perusal. "Silly Novels by Silly Women" is, as its title would imply, a pitiless dissection, if not butchery, which doubtless will stir up much indignation in some circles. " France before the Revolution of 'B9" is an able review of the work par Alexis de Tocqueville. The opinion of the reviewer may be gathered from the conclusion : " All men who love truth must earnestly wish that the author may be able'to finish his work." " Emerson's Eng lish Traits " meets with a favourable reception. "He has given us a book," we are told, " from which we may learn many things—much about ourselves, about what we have and about what we have not, and, still more from which we may learn that the nobleness of spirit which gives praise as well as blame where it is due, may be relied on as existing across the Atlantic." Again—" With all its faults of exaggeration and indefinite aim it is a book we most heartily welcome, glad to read our selves in a picture drawn by a skilful artist, and still more glad to have so much friendliness and generosity displayed towards us by an American. It is a book which will, we feel sure, do good on both sides the Atlantic, and tend to promote that cordial understanding between all sections of the Anglo-Saxon race, on which, in these days of des potism and confusion, the welfare of mankind so largely depends." High, but not wholly unme rited, praise. As usual, the space devoted to con temporary literature claims, and to a certain extent will reward, the reader's attention. THE MONETARY CRISIS IN PARIS. The Times correspondent (second eiition) thus speaks of the crisis at present existing in Paris "It is unfortunate that the financial crisis which now prevails had not been foreseen and provided for. Igno rance can hardly be pleaded, for I believe timely warning was given by competent persons. The premium on specie is now so high as to almost banish it altogether from cir culation, as it cannot be received but at the legal value. It is calculated that during the last five years about 1,200,000,000 francs in silver have left the country, while not more than 700,000,000 f. have entered. If this calculation be correct, France has lost within that period 500,000,0001. of its silver coinage, and has re ceived double that amount in gold. The result is the greatest inconvenience in commercial transactions gene rally, and particularly in the manufacturing districts, where silver is indispensable for the payment of wages to the working classes. In truth, silver can hardly be found anywhere. 20f. and 10f. pieces in gold are only to be bad, and 5f., 21., if., and 50c. pieces have nearly disappeared. The exportation of that metal is the more rapid that France export., comparatively sp lak ing, but a small amount of manufactured produce, and is consequently obliged to pay foreign merchandise in specie. This is one of the consequences of the vicious system of her custom-houses, which the Government seems afraid to touch, It is evident that, if the manu facturing products of this country could be sold at a relatively low price to the United States, she could send them instead of the precious metals in exchange for the grain of the American farmers, and such crises as the present would rarely take place, or would be less severely felt. When it was ascer tained that the harvest of 1855 was deficient the Meal teur announced that the Government had resolved to leave to private commerce to supply that deficiency. Full confidence was at first reposed in that declara tion ; but it was remarked that in the month of May or April enormous sales of flour and of w'ieat began to take place at Havre, through the ageocy of a well-known house in Paris, and on account of parties whose names, it is said, were carefully concealeo. A. fall, of course, rapidly ensued ; the trade took ala: 111 , and many who had kept their stock in expectation Of a rise weret forced to sell at less than the first cost; of the article. The result was an enormous loss. It was affirmed at the time that the mysterious party on whose account these large sales were effected was the Government, notwithstanding the announcement in the A f °Weave. Immense quan tities of flour and wheat were purchased in the - United States, which naturally produced a greater rise than if private traders bought on their own account, and then sold in France, for the purpose of keeping down the market. It was calculated that this operation was at tended with a loss to the Treasury of about 12,000,000 f., with the additional disadvantage of preventing the regu lar traders in the pelts of the north of France from undertaking these operations, fearful, as they must be, of again encountering so formidable a competition. (From the Univers.) The financial crisis with which we are menaced does not surprise us ; it is the natural consequence of the ex aggeration of credit. It is evident that when we borrow, the time for payment must come, sooner or later ; a per. petual credit is a palpable contradiction. Stock Ex change matters go on for a time, and then comes the day for a settlement. It is then that the scaffolding of fool ish speculations crumbles to the ground ; bankruptcy succeeds bankruptcy, a mass of shares are thrown on the market, the value of securities is depreciated, ac., &o. The dead are then buried, the wounded attended to, and the game recommences on the morrow with re newed vigour. The victims of the Bourse inspire us with little pity, but it is sad to think that the fever of speculation has gained the mass of the population. we have at this moment before our eyes certain establish ments which are worthy of Law's famous Mississippi Bank. Their imaginary profits attract capital away from useful enterprises which would have fructified. It may be said that the capitals of France have been concentrated in Paris ; the provinces are in a state of penury, which is daily increased by the scarcity of provisions. Moreover, thanks to the cosmopolitan quacks who overrun all the states of Europe, French capital has been despatched abroad. M one y i s becoming more and more rare. The war absorbed much, and we shall require more for the purchase of corn, as the present harvest appears insufficient. It is not in merchandise, but in gold and silver, that payments for corn are made in pe riods of alimentary crisis. It is true that the mines of Cali fornia still send us their bars of gold, but it will soon be fonnd that the treasures of California have impoverished us. Our silver money is already on the point of disappearing. Economists have allowed us to slumber on consequences which might have been anticipated. Let matters Pass over in their natural course, has been their motto. Now, to-day, we perceive that our silver coinage is vanishing and that it is too late to pre' vent this emigration. In six months 525 millions in silver have been exported from Southampto n. It is probable that India absorbs all this ira mense quantity of coinage.
