NT, COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCt. ‘.IT Y. Two o'Cl,of-ni. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly but steadily, and prices of all descriptions were unchanged.

The value of the ex ports from St. Petersburg this year is estimated at 200,000,000 of francs. Next to corn, it is stated that the most important article exported is tallow, of which more than 90,000,000 lbs. have been shipped. Of course it is reported that the Russian Railway project has been very favourably received on the Bourse, and various other under takings, having for their object the opening up of fresh branches of trade, are now also on the Lapis. At present, however, when the money markets of the whole of Europe are so greatly disturbed there can be no doubt that the difficulty which must be experienced in raising the necessary capital will stand in the way of their early prosecution. The inquiry for discount accommodation in Lombard-street and at the Bank of England is rather quieter ; the recent advance in the minimum quotations having so far exercised a salutary effect. In some instances first-class bills are negotiated out of doors at a trifle below the Bank minimum, but, generally speaking, that quotation is steadily maintained. The advices from Paris being more favourable, and the Bank of France having tem porarily ceased to withdraw gold from this country, the hope is expressed that circumstances will not ren der it necessary for the Threadneedle -street autho rities to adopt further restrictive measures, but, at the same time it is not supposed that any speedy improvement will take place. The James Baines has not yet been announced, and the parties more immediately interested are naturally becoming very anxious. This vessel, together with the Lightning, which is also supposed to be due, will bring upwards of a million sterling.

The Colombo, which leaves Southampton on the 20th, will, it is believed, take out about 450,0001. or 500,0001. in specie. The Funds have advanced about 1 per cent., and the market is very buoyant, without much activity. The public have been purchasing with more free dom, and the improvement on the Paris Bourse yesterday has contributed to impart additional firmness to prices. Consols for money have been 93 to 93i, and for account 931. 1 and 931 The quotation for the Jan. account has been 931 94. The New 3 per Cents. 92i a and the Reduced 91/ to 92i.

KING'S COLLEGE, ABERDEEN,—The Earl of Elles mere has been declared elected Lord Rector for four years. The Sardinian Government has despatched a frigate to the Indian Ocean, to take on board from Ceylon, the Duke of Valambreso, who has been at Ava on a special mission to the Burmese Emperor. We believe that there is no good foundation for the rumours which have been so extensively circulated, to the effect that Mr. .Tames Wilson is about to become Chairman of the Board of Inland Revenue, in succession to th e late Mr. John Wood. A MERCHANT PRINCE.--Mr. Pilkington, the new Mayor of Blackburn, has ju , t subscribed the sum of 2 ,0001. towards the establishment of an infirmary at Blackburn, and promised 1001. per annum towan's its Support. A rule has been issued by the Court of Common Ph as, under Cardwell's Act, against the Brighton Railway Company, to show °ause why they should not con struct a covered station for the accommodation of the traveller s on the Caterham railway.

By recent letters from Madrid, it seems a report has lately been current that Senor Bravo Murillo is about to be appointed Minister to London. It is highly 1e suc h sable that the Spanish Government can contemplate such a step, but, should the statement prove to be w e ll founded, it is to be hoped the commercial community of London will forthwith protest against his reception.

TII4CKER.ArS FOURTH LECTURE, (From the Scotsman.) Last night (Friday) Mr. Thackeray's concluding lecture—on the Fourth of the Georges —was de livered in the Music Hall, Edinburgh, to an audi ence that appeared even greater than those which had attended the preceding lectures. The lecturer began with a reference to the vene ration with which Lord Eldon preserved a lock of the Duke of York's hair, and to the unfortunate accident which befel a greater man than George the Fourth—Sir Walter Scott—when he went on board the vessel that brought the King to Scotland in 1822, and carried off iu his pocket a crystal goblet from which his Majesty had drunk, break ing it, however, by sitting down upon it in the boat as ho was coming ashore—as instancing the extraordinary reverence that was paid to royalty, and especially to George the Fourth, even within the memory of the present generation. Had the precious crystal been preserved, and were it now shown to the visitors at Abbotsford, would we not smile with something like pity to see it? In Ma dame Tussaud's wax -work exhibition the corona tion robes of that king are yet to be seen—" Which of you would now kiss the hem of that trumpery ?" To make a portrait of him at first seemed a matter of some difficulty. There is his coat, and his wig, and his countenance simpering under it. With a slate and a piece of chalk, said Mr. Thackeray, I could at this very desk perform a recognisable like ness of him. And yet, after reading of him in scores of volumes, hunting him through old maga zines and newspapers, you will find nothing but a coat and wig, and the mask smiling below i t _._. nothing but a great simulacrum. His sires" and grandsires were men with individualities ; they had steady loves and hatreds ; one knew what they would do undergivencircumstances. Thesailor-king who succeeded him was a man ; and the Duke of York, his brother, was a man—a big, burly, jolly, a cursin, courageous man. But this Gorge was but a bow and' a grin ; he was all outside, a tailor's work— fine cocked hat, nutty-brown wig, coat, huge black stock, under-waistcoats, more under-waistcoats, and then nothing—a royal mummy. The lecturer said he had once thought it would be flood sport to hunt him down, but he would be ashamed to summon a full field and then hunt such poor game. There were more pictures taken of him than of any other human being—in every variety of uniform and dress, in every conceivable cocked hat, in dragoon uniform, in Windsor uniform, in field-marshal's dress, in a Scotch kilt, with dirk and claymore— and then he looked more stupendous than over. Before his little feet could walk statesmen were busy kissin g them. He was everywhere described as beautiful, and he had a high spirit when a boy. Having a difference with his father, he burst into the royal closet and shouted "Wilkes and Liberty ! ' He corrected his tutor, Lord Bruce, who made a false quantity in reading his Greek lesson; hisand the tutor took it so to heart that he resigned post, obtaining a peerage, however, to soothe his wounded feelings. Lord Bruce was made an earl for a blunder in prosody, and Nelson was made a baron for the victory of the Nile. He was so extravagant that if he had been a manufac turing town, or a populous rural district, or an army of 5,000 men, he could not have cost more ; and yet he was a solitary man, who did not toil, or spin, or fight. He spent 10,0001. a year for the coats on his back ; and the sums given him by the nation were past counting. He spent an income of 66,0001., 70,0001., 100,0001., 120,0001. a year—the nation was continually paying debts for him of 180,0001. or 65D,000/. —besides granting mysterious foreign loans, the proceeds of which this man pocketed. He was so lovely to look upon that he was described as Prince Florizel. He and his brother King, Louis D'Artois—who subsequently, driven away by his people, had to seek shelter in Holyrood—shared between them the title of " The First Gentleman of Europe." It was, of course, a point of loyality to ac cord the title to George in this country. It was Walter Scott who was his champion—who rallied all Scotland to him, laying about him with his claymore on all his enemies. The House of lirmiswick had no such two defenders as Samuel J'ohnson and Walter Scott. The dreadful dulness of papa's court at Windsor, however, was such as would have made scapegoats of any princes. But his brothers, after sowing their wild oats and. spending their youth in riotous living, settled down into quiet, if not good, men. But throughout Prince Florizel was the same. He signalised hie entrance into life by an act worthy of him—he in vented a new shoe-buckle, an inch long and five inches broad, which covered almost the whole in step, and reached down to the ground on either side—a sweet invention, lovely and useful as the prince on whose foot it sparkled. His natural com panions were dandies and parasites. French ballet dances, French cooks, horse-jockeys, boxers, china, jewel, and gimcrack merchants. lox, and Pitt, and Burke, and Sheridan were sometimes his guests, but what bad they in common with their host of Carlton House ? His opinions on anything but the best pattern for a waistcoat or the sauce for a partridge were not worth anything. The Whig chiefs thought to make use.of him, but he had no feeling to unite him to them or to any others who took part in the business of the world, and if he broke the hollow compact that subsisted with them, who shall blame him a Declining to take the Leporello part, and flourish a catalogue of the conquests of this royal Don Juan, and to tell the names of the favourites to whom, one after another, the Prince threw his pocket-handkerchief —what good is there, said Mr. Thackeray, in know ing that he actually did marry Miss Fitzherbert according to the rites of the Roman Catholic Church? Heartless debauchees hal • been ever since the world began, and this one had more than his share of temptation. All the pleasant devils were enticing him on—desire, idleness, vanity, and drunkenness. At his table—for the aroma of the wine at a table where agreat man sits as host seems to brighten the wit—Scott, with his great and good nature, poured forth his immense stores of legendary lore, and there was Grattan with his Weadreus eloquence and feeling, Tom Mo an, too, perched on it for a while, flying away in a twitter of indignation afterwards, and attacking the Prince with beak and claws. Kindness to a housemaid, generosity to a groG.m, were the sum of all the good stories that were told about him ; they were mean and trivial, and they characterised him. H was fond and familiar with his friends one day, aid passed them without re cognition the next ; on Monday Prince Flerizel fondled and kissed poor Perdita, and on Tuesday he did not know her. Beau Brommell, his superior in his own line, he treated with cruel neglect, after cheating him out of a snuff-box. He had wonn uniforms so much—bad sat so often in all kinds of cocked hats and military coats to have his portrait taken—that he came to belie's' he had been a sol dier, and had actually led a tremendous charge of the German Legion at Waterloo. Mr. Thackeray next sketched the greatly differ ent manners of fifty years age—the drinking, box ing, swearing, and gambling habits of the last generation—when gentlemen at dinner regularly tell under the table—when Byron and his com panions led their wild life at Newstead Abbey, drinking till morning in monks' dresses, breakfast ing at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and then boxing, or fencing, or firing pist ols at a mar k in the hall, or worrying the wolf. Lori Eldon, as John Scott, a young barrister on the Northern Circuit, who loved port wine, but loved also his business, his duty and his keg, was called up, as evidence against the leading counsel, who lostcauses from sticking to the dinner t a ble, and being too drunk to consult. Poor Bozzy, who absurdly would go to the Northern Circuit , was exposed lying drunk in the streets of Lancaster unable to move. A story was related of the Prince Regent and his brothers the Dukes of York and Clarence, getting "Jockey of Norfolk" over to the Pavilion at Brighton to dinner in order to carry out a plan they • had laid for making him drunk, and how, after the veteran toper had overthrown many of those who were in the plot against him, he was finished by the Prince proposing a bumper of brandy ; and when the old grey-haired man, drunk as he was, seeing through theacheme, and proposing to leave, getting his postilions to drive him round and round the park, and finally landing him in bed at the Pavilion. These were the manners of the times, and this was the First Gentleman of Europe. Mr. Thackeray said he believed, however, that lie was innocent in the affair about his horse Escape, which created so much talk. Pierce Eaan then narrated in most amusing style the battles of Moly ieux and Cribb—Byron swore in his letters to John Murray, and corresponded with Mr. John Jackson, pugilist—and Blackwood rai sedandttoheexntaitniognuisrhouinndniKaninaglove ofR • his voice to gather mg declaring that of pugilism ' would be to reduce him to the l eve l the brutes, and pro cleiming, " Let pugilism flourish and Radicalism de( say.

This bankrupt was described as of Ramsgate, jeweller, and this was a meeting for proof of debts and choice of assignees. Mr. Philp Bucklersbury appeared for the petitioning creditor, and assignees were chosen pro forma, as it was understood that the bankruptcy would be super seded on the part of the bankrupt, an arrangement to that effect being pending. THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY FRAUDS. EXAMINATION OF KENT. CLEniumwELL—This morning James Charles Comyns ,Cent was placed at the bar, before Mr. Corrie, for fur ther examination, charged with being concerned with Leopold Redpath, now in custody, with fraud on the Great Northern Railway, t 3 a large extent. The pri soner, who is a tall thin young man, with round pale features, black hair, and no whiskers, walked briskly into the dock, and assumed great confidence during the whole of the proceedings. Mr. Humphreys appeared for the prosecution, and was accompanied by Mr. Mowatt, secretary to the Great Northers Railway Company. Mr. Dodd, of New Broad-street, appeared for the prisoner. Mr. Humphreys said it would be in the recollection of the Court that he attended here on Tuesday last, with some of the officials of the Great Northern Rail way Company, and obtained a warrant for the appre pension of a person named Leopold Redpath. That warrant was placed in the hands of the police, but be• fore they had time to execute it the prisoner at the bar was apprehended on the charge of being concerned with Redpath in the frauds he bad committed on the company, and be: was brought before Mr. Tyrwbitt and remanded for a week, it being believed then that Redpath would not have been in custody so soon, and that both might have been placed at the bar together this day. Redpath was, however, apprehended in London and not in Paris, as it was expected, and he was on Friday brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt, and re manded till Friday next. He (Mr. Humphreys) had consulted with Mr. Dodd, the prisoner's solicitor, and they had arranged, with the magistrate's permis sion, to make this a formal examination, and that the prisoner should be remanded till Friday, and then be brought up with Redpath before Mr. Tyrwhitt, who was in possession of the facts that had been proved against the prisoners. The examina tion of Kent, on a former occasion, took place privately at his (Mr. Humphreys) request, from a conviction that a publication of the evidence at the time in the news papers would have defeated the ends of justice, and sub• sequent events tend to show that in all probability that would have been the case had it been published that day. His application was that the prisoner be remanded till Friday, when Redpath would appear at the bar with Mr. Dodd, on the part of the prisoner, said he had no objection to the course proposed. Mr. Corrie concurred, and the prisoner was remanded till Friday. Mr. Dodd asked the magistrate to order that a gold watch, chain, &c., and other articles of value found on the prisoner Kent, when he Was apprehended, should be given up to him for the purpose of enabling him to pre. pare his defence. Mr. Humphreys said there was no objection whatever to its being done. Mr. Corrie directed that the property should be given up. The prisoner was accordingly remanded. He then walked briskly out of the dock and was afterwards con veyed to the Middlesex House of Correction. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day). THAMES. THE VALUE OF A T OOTH.—Joseph, Temple, a rough. looking fellow, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with assaulting Catherine Mahony, servant at the Red Cross public.house, in Upper East Smithfield. The prosecutrix stated that the prisoner came into her master's house last night very drunk, and he became noisy and troublesome. She gave him a little shrub, and got him out of the house quietly, and walked with him a little distance. She then returned to her master's house, and was closing the door to prevent any one entering again, when the prisoner returned, and forced his way in again. She tried to get him out again, when he struck her a violent blow with his fist on the month, and loosened one of her teeth, which she intended on her way home from the court to be extracted by a dentist. Mr. Selfe—What do you say to this, Temple Prisoner—l was very tipsy indeed, or I would no t have done it. Mr. Selfe—You must pay the dentist's bill, that is the least you can do. Prisoner—l will do that, sir. Mr. Selfe—You must pay 103. for her tooth ; it is worth that. The prisoner said he would borrow 103. in Thames- street, a,d pay it to the complainant. Mr. Selfe—Will you trust him, Catherine ? Complainant—Yes, sir; I know him well. I believe he will pay me les. for my tooth. Mr. Selfe —You hear what she says. Now, go to Thames street and get the 10s. for her. If you pay her I shall think better of you than I do now. AN ABANDONED SHIP FOUND ON THE GDDLEII SANDS. —THE CAPTAIN ON BOARD DEAD .—WRITSTABLE Mon day.--Yesterday, about two o ' clock, a small Danish vessel, brigantine rigged, of 130 tons burthen, laden with a cargo of grain, in bulk, from St. Petersburg for Lon don, was brought in here by the crew of the smack Pros. perous, of this pert, Capt. Bell. She was found a dere lict on the Gudler Sands early the previous morning, having been abandoned by her erew. T he rudder was gone, and it was believed that the crew had taken to the galley-boat, and then forsaken the vessel. Some time after the salvors had boarded her they found the dead body of the captain (as they supposed) in a bunk in the after cabin. It was carefully packed, as if to prevent its rolling, and blood was o oz i ng from the mouth, though it was the impression of a medical gentleman present (Mr. Williams) that the deceased must have been dead some days. Lloyd's agent, the collector of Admiralty droits (Mr. Reeves), and several officers connected with the Customs, were quickly on board, and took possession of the ch ar t s, chronometer it , &c. From the papers appeared that the captain's name was Wulff. The body was taken a s h ore, and to day Mr. T. T. Delasaux held an i nquest on it a t th e Victoria Inn, when evidence corroborati ve of the above facts was adduced, and the jury returned a verdict of found dead.

The auxiliary screw clipper Istanboul, the pioneer of the Australian Steam Clipper Company (limited), left the Victoria Docks, London, on Monday last, at noon pre cisely, according to advertised announcement, and imme diately steamed down to Gravesend, with a tug a-head to afford assistance, if necessary, in the narrow parts of the river, she being 250 feet long. She was a full ship, both in cargoand passengers, the company,brokers,agents, and the Dock Company having combined their exertions to load her in 14 days, so as to enable her to leave at the hour advertised, keeping faith with, and giving satis faction to, shippers and all interested. She arrived at Gravesend within two hours after leaving the docks, her engines working admirably. This magnificent vessel has amply fulfilled the expectations of thedirectors as regards her capacity, she having on board, 1,600 tons of cargo paying freight, and 690 tons of metal, coal, provisions, &c., besides her passengers and crew. Her tonnage is 1,470 old measurement, 1,310 gross new measurements and 1,164 register, after deducting engine-room space ; her draught of water is 19 feet aft and 18 feet forward. The speed with which she has been filled is something remarkable. She arrived from West Hartlepool, where she was fitted by her builder for her present service, on the 15th of Oetober ; 'the company entertained their friends at a dejeuner on board on the 27th ; on the fol lowing day she commenced loading, which, by the use of powerful hydraulic cranes, proceeded at the rate of 200 tons per day, and was accomplished, as above stated, in 10 days. She left Plymouth on Saturday, and proceeded on her voyage, which she is confidently expected to com plete in 60 days. The Victoria Docks, upon the manage ment of which the speedy loading, by their extraordi nary hydraulic cranes, of the Istanboul reflects mach credit, have been so extensively used during the short time they have been open, that the directors intend ap plying to Parliament in the ensuing session for po per to enlarge them, for which purpose they have 250 acres available ; and before long, at the present rateof increase, there is no doubt every acre will be required. Thu testi• mony of all nautical men we have conversed with assures us that the managers of the Liverpool and Birkenhead Dock Estate would derive many valuable suggestions from a visit to those docks, and find various points within that enclosure of the Thames which might be copied with great profit to the trust and infinite advantage to cap tains, shipowners, merchants, and the coramercial com munity generally, on either bank of the Mersey. We should have stated that the medical gentleman who goes out in charge of the health of the Istanboul's numerous passengers is Dr. Baylie, whose remarkable letter in the leading journal lately, signed by him as "ex-Mayor of Geelong," produced so great a confirmation of the merits of the Panama route as the real course which the postal traffic between the Antipodes and England will actually have to pursue, whatever may be the temporary expe dients which may be adopted in the meanwhile. The letanboul will be followed on the 31st Dec. by the Indo mitable, it being the intention of the company to which these vessels belong to dispatch a ship at intervals of six weeks. The Indomitable is a new first-class ship, o 1,160 tone register and 1,800 tons burthen, with aux ary engines nominally of 80 horse power, and working up to 320. She has given great satisfaction in the Go vernment service, in which she has recently b een en gaged, and is as admirably adapted for the Australian voyage as her sister ship, the Istanboul. The other ves sels of this company, in readiness or building, are all of the same magnificent dimensions and capacity for stow age, and their accommodation for 'passengers on the same scale, as regards the essential points of space, ven tilation, and general comfort.—Liverpool Albion. DR. BRADY AND HIS CONSTITUENTS. (From the Midland Counties Gazette.) In another column will be found an abridged report ch the proceedings of the Leitrim Liberal Club, at the meeting of that body held in Carrick-on-Shannon on Wednesday last. The success of the club is now an established fact. But two years established, it has already accomplished much—has, in truth, secured the indepen dence of Leitrim. When, some three years since, we urged the liberals of Leitrim to organise a county club, we stated our belief that in no Irish county there existed better or more available materials for such an organisa tion. The result has proved that we well understood the county. But sanguine as we were, we confess that our hopes have been more than realised—that our expecta- tions have been surpassed. In two short years the club has accomplished that which we knew could be accom plished, but for the accomplishment of which we deemed that years would be required. The county of Leitrim is already independent. The conservative power is com pletely prostrated. At the next general election two libe rals will be returned for Leitrim. This is no idle beast ; we are warranted in making the assertion. The liberals are as three to one on the registry. Having closely watched the parliamentary career of Dr. Brady, we most cordially concur in the vote of thanks and confidence passed to him by the club of Leitrim on Wednesday, and shall deem it a duty to co-operate, to the utmost of our means and ability, in giving practical effect to the resolutions of future support. Indeed, to secure Dr. Brady's re-election will be a matter of no diffi culty—it is already secured. It alone remains to provide him with an honest and worthy fellow-representative, so that the votes of John Brady may be no longer neutra lised by the hostile votes of a conservative colleague. This, we have no doubt, the club will take measures to accomplish. MAI MET NE WS. —{This Day.)

The Hamburgo, belonging to this line, arrived at Cadiz on the 4th inst., from Southampton. The United States mail stetm-ship Hermann, Capt. E. Higgins, arrived this morning from New York, which port she left on the 2d inst., having been prevented from getting over the bar of New York on the Ist inst. (her regular day of sailing) by bad weather. The Hermann brings 75 passengers and about 190,000 dollars in specie on freight, part of which is for France. After coaling she prc,ceeds to Bremen at daylight to-morrow (Tuesday). The: steam ship Cape of Good Hops, purchased by the Calm tta and Burmah Steam Navigation Company from the General Screw Steam-shipping Company, sailed to-day for Cal cutta direct, with a few passengers and A 111328.11 (Argo. whatever ? When cautious Peel and grim old Wellington had given in on the Catholic question, old Eldon, who stuck to it, went to him, and found him irresolute, weak-minded, refusing to give even an opinion, and only asking that he should not again be required to beg his ministers to stay with him. Even Eldon seems to have lost his wonder ful patience, and to have scorned him. Turning to his domestic life, narrating " the little that could be told," Mr. Thackeray accompanied Lord Malmesbury to Brunswick to bring home the Princess Caroline, of whose fair hair, blu e eyes— even of her toilet, respecting which Lord Mathias bury on good grounds advised her to be particular —the audience were favoured with glimpses. H e would not carry his hearers through the story-- how, at first saluting her, the First Gentleman of Europe turned to Lord Malmesbury with "Harris, get me a glass of brandy '—how he hiccupped out his vows at the altar—and how he kept them. With the vagaries of the unhappy Princess he would not deal, but when put upon her trial, " I vote," said Mr. Thackeray, "she is Not Guilty. I don't say it is an impartial verdict ; but as one reads her story the heart beats for that poor out raged woman. If wrong there be, let it lie at his door who wickedly thrust her from him. And yet he was called the First Gentleman i n E urope ! There is no greater satire on the proud English society of that day than that they admired this George !" Some men there were of that time who merited the title of gentleman, and whose memory would be fondly cherished when that of yonder monarch would be buried in oblivion. Walter Scott loved the king, and championed him like the brave Highlander, in his own story, who fought round a chief unworthy of his loyalty. What honest zeal, what generous devotion, what amiable love w as that of the noble Sir Walter ! There was another man of letters of that day—Robert Southey, whose life would long be remembered, for it was sublime in its simplicity, its energy, its honour, and its affection. And since heaven made gentlemen, there was no record of a better than Cuthbert Col lingwood. Of braver deeds they might read, but nowhere of more beautiful love of duty—of a gentler, truer heart. Beyond the dazzle of success and the blaze of genius, he loved a hundred and a hundred times better the sublime purity of Col lingwood's gentler glories. As one read of him and Nelson going into the victory with which their name was connected, how the old feeling of Chris tian honour came on one ! What gentlemen they were ! What gallant hearts they had ! Reginald Heber, the divine, was also one of the best of English gentlemen coun selling his pr ople in trouble, aiding them in difficulties, and comforting them in distress. Love and duty was his life's aim. In 1784, when the first ball was given in honour of the Prince who was entering upon his life-long course of vanity, another scene was enacting on the opposite side of the Atlantic. Washington, the patriot, was sheathing his sword after a public life of spotless purity—resigning the power which he had used so nobly and so effectually. With a power ful contrast between the magnanimous acts and simple language of George Washington, and the emptiness, heartlessness, and folly, that from the first characterised Prince George of England, Mr. Thackeray concluded his lecture amidst great ap plause. NATIONAL BANK OF SARDINIA. The report of the President of the Council and Finance Minister, Count Cavour, on the monetary crisis, which has been already referred to as recommending a repeal of the existing legal restrictions of the rate of interest, proceeds to discuss the situation of the National Bank. It appears that, with a nominal capital of 32 millions of lire, and a'paid-up capital of 24, the circulation of its notes has never yet exceeded 45 millions, the average being 35 to 38 millions ; and the amount of deposits liable to be withdrawn on demand has never been ntore than 3. During nine months of the present year the bank has imported specie to the amount of 50,310,000 f., but has not been able, with all its efforts, to maintain a circulation sufficient for the wants of the trad ing community, and Count Cavour is, therefore, convinced that the only way to enable the bank to ex tend its operations, is to alter the proporti on w hi c h th e ' law has prescribed between its metallic reserve and its obligations. That proportion has hitherto been fixed at one-third. The managing council of the bank has re quested that it may be altered to one-fourth, and also that it may be calculated with reference to the amount of the bank notes alone, and not that of the bank notes together with the deposits payable on demand. After explaining his objections to these particular proposals, Count Cavour states his reasons for preferring, instead of a fixed proportion, a sliding scale which shall vary with the extent of the operations of the bank He makes a distinction between that portion of the bank note cir culation which is employed in the ordinary busine,s of the people, the amount of which is tolerably constant, and that portion which is engaged in extensive com mercial speculations and manufacturing enterprises, and is liable to great and sudden fluctuations. Re is of opinion that the bank should keep a moderate reserve of specie to provide for the first mentioned part of its circulation, but that the reserve should be fixed at a larger proportion with regard to the second ; and he therefore suggests the adoption of a system by which the proportion to be maintained between the metallic reserve and the liabilities of the bank, instead of being a constant and uniform proportion, shall be one gradually increasing with the increase of their amount. In seasons of the utmost depression the circulation of the Sardinian National Bank has never descended below 30 millions, and the Minister therefore thinks it would be safe to say that the proportion of 1-sth instead of 1-3 d will be sufficient, if ever the circulation should fall be low that amount ; above that amount, the proportion of 1-3 d cannot be regarded as exorbitant ; but there is a point where the circulation of the bank notes, added to the deposit accounts, has attained an amount beyond which their fluctuations are likely to be serious and frequent ; that point is fixed by Count Cavour at 60 millions, and he proposes that the proportion of specie to be maintained shall then be raised to one-half, instead of one-third, the amount of the notes and deposits. This is the effect of the royal decree, which was signed by Victor Emmanuel on the 6th inst. In the same report Count Cavour enters into a comparison of the favourable situation in which the Sardinian Bank will be placed by the adoption of his system with that of the Bank of France at the present moment. He expects that the Bank of Sardinia will be enabled, by the modifications proposed, to extend its circulation by five, six, or ten millions, and afford the relief to the manufacturing and commercial classes of which at present they are ho much in want. The assent of the Legislature will be required but i n definitively the m t e o a n tmeantime enact the the provisional measures be has recommended of Nov. 6 ommended ; Will immediately come into force.

They then proceeded through several streets, violently attacking several persons, including an old man and woman, and calling the greatest uproar and excitement. The crowd increased as they progressed towards the barracks, until the police arrived, and took them to the station-house, amidst yells, hisses, alai great confusion.
