It is needless to adduce any argl u vents to prove the great dearth of specie at this m .c ment, both in France and England. Notwithsta ,n ding the ener getic efforts of the Directors of the „quasi National Banks in both countries, the drain still continues with unabated force, and it is ins possible to say when the tide will turn, or the bu U ion which has departed from our shores can ee Fen partially be brought back. The exorbitant rate of interest must speedily paralyse industry. ..A1 stagnation in even the most legitimate operati* )11S of trade is inerritable. Production must cee ae, inasmuch as : the absence of a circulating medir aa, adequate to the wants and exigencies of the : a:Ation, will pre vent the ordinary operations of el -edit by which such operations can alone be coi at 'acted ; and if even orders for our manufactures. should be re ceived, they can scarcely be execute d by those who are suffering, not from a scarcity- of capital (for despite the sinister statements of "MERCATOR that is abundant), but from a scar a ity—we might say a famine—of currency to act as its measure and representative. Nor have 1r e yet seen the worst part of the crisis. Althoug h the rate of in terest is enormous, it is more the c a hinted that it will soon be increased. Altboug 51 the nature of the security tendered is scrutinise cl with the most curious eye, it is more than p cobable that still more stringent regulations may be anticipated ; and then what will be the cense( tuences, not only to the industrial portion of the co untry, but to all who have contracted obligations, which it will be difficult, if not impossible, to I.ilfil, under the altered state of affairs ? In France the money market i.s even more de pressed. The Bank has been comp ailed to sustain its own credit by pressing heavily on the sister establishment in this country, :3: ad means have been resorted to in order to obt sin a supply of bullion which can scarcely be regarded as legiti mate. Many sagacious and ex perienced men already predict an early :suspension of cash payments, and the substitu ti on of a paper for a metallic currency ; and it 'would be well for France if its Government would, while there is yet time, adopt sound and judicious measures for the purpose of economising the p •7ecious metals, by creating a circulating medium fully capable of transacting the domestic busin(%3 of the coun try, but which would not be av ailAzble either for hoarding or exportation ! It is under such circumstances that a French Company, the " Credit Mobilier," has entered into a gigantic speculation, which will render the transfer of bullion to the amtrunt of some 43,000,0001. sterling, from France and England to Russia, within a limited period indispensable. That Company has obtained the covcession, as it is termed, of a number of railways in Russia ; or, in other words, has undertaken to construct about 2,500 miles of railway in that country within a period of ten years, and to advance 43,000,0001. for that purpose. The whole of that money must, as we have already explained, be provided in gold and silveL. It is ridiemlous to suppoao that it either can or will be taken in the manufactures of the Western States. Nothing bat "hard cash" will be accepted ; for it will be the policy, no less than the desire of the CZAR, to enforce the con tract, however ruinous it may prove to the parties concerned : so that the project, if fully carried into execution, must prove highly disastrous ; for although the capital may be :ample, the currency is manifestly inadequate. It is certain that the Credi t Mobilier does not for a moment contemplate locking up its own capital in the vast undertaking. It is only the agent, hoping to realise sufficient funds from the communities of both nations. Should the shares be quoted and sold at pre miums, it will gain consid'srable profits, but it does not for a moment con - eemplate a permanent investment, nor care for the misery and destitu tion which may follow the wild and reckless spe culation. A very easy calculation will show, that, like the razors of the itinerant vendor, the shares are constructed for sale, not for use. Persons seeking high interest may nibble at the temptinv bait, but should they do so they will have speedy cause to lament in sackcloth and ashes their un fortunate credulity. It might be thought that they had already sufficient warnings to render even the most sanguine cautious, that the painful lessons already received would prevent such des perate gambling. But it is impossible to estimate the extent of public gullibility, or the lengtks to which parties may proceed in the too eager pur suit of speedily acquired wealth. It is, therefore, an imperative duty on the public journalists to uplift their voices—and again, and again usque ad nauseam, impress upon the people the folly— the wickedness, nay, more, the certain loss that must result from any participation in the trans action. This is the more necessary, as it is said that agents are already busily engaged in trying to introduce the new scrip into our own money market, and that it is hoped that the greater por tion of the money may be obtained from the pockets of Englishmen. It is palpable that the bullion must be obtained from us, for even before the speculation above alluded to had been entered into a leading firm had contracted to supply gold to the value of 140,000,000 f., or 5,600,0001. to the Bank of France. What, we ask, would be the feeling of English men if a project were ventilated for obtaining money for the reconstruction of Sebastopol, and the Russian fortresses during the late war ? Would any man, with the slightest particle of patriotism in his heart, touch the accursed thing at any price, or on any conditions ? Would any possible am ount of anticipated profit tempt him into the unholy concern ? For the honour of our coun try—of hu man nature, we should hops not ! And yet the practical difference between military fortresses and military railways is of a very trifling character. Ten days since we explained that these lines could not, by any possibility, be required for purpo ses of locomotion or traffic. The passport system prohibits the one, the poverty of country, and the scanti ness of prod uc tion— , which, in proportion to the s quare mile is but —the other. one -s e ventieth part that of E ng l and The transaction is, therefore, solely entered i n t • for the purpose of enhancing the milit ary power of Russia, and removing that which was the gr ea t drawback to the Russian operations during the late war. With the additional strength supplied by the important chain of military railways the CZAR hopes to insure the success of his next ag gressive movement, although opposed by , c a world in arms." Is there any true-hearted Eng lishman who could, under any circumstances, be induced to lend his aid in removing the trifling obstacles opposed to the traditionary policy of Russia, by the late war, to render nugatory the sacrifice of 50,000 English lives, and 100,000,0001. of English mosey ? Every senti ment of patriotism is opposed to the notion. But, putting aside the considerations of patri otism, and the effect on our own industrial opera• Hens, by the effect on the currency, there is still another aspect of the question which has been presented by " A Hertfordshire Incumbent," through the columns of a contemperary, that is peculiarly worthy of notice. The Rev. writer points out the existing scarcity of iron in Russia, and the results that must follow so great a de mand as must be produced by the vast consump tion. The price would take away the profits of the company, or at least would greatly increase the outlay, while the guarantee is limited to a fixed sum. An addition of some millions of ex penditure would practically reduce the interest, which will only be paid for a certain term of year?, to a lower amount than could be obtained for a perpetuity, either in England or France ! Let our countrymen, and our French, brethren ponder on these matters, and abstain from en tangling themselves in matters that may here after occasion serious losses to themselves, and misery and destitution to their unfortunate families. We cannot remember the time when the Church was not in danger. Just before our entrance on public life she had enjoyed a long and peaceful slumber. She had had an unquiet time of it dur ing Presbyterian ascendancy, and JAMES 11. gave her a year or two's uneasiness ; but from that time to the horrid days of WHITFIELD and WESLEY most happily did she doze and slumber, and slum ber and doze. Dissenters during that long inter val troubled her not ; they were either too re spectable, retaining among them same titled sece ders, who suffered no insults to their venerated mother, or too weak, and glad by extra courtesy to country squires and magistrates, to atone for the guilt of nonconformity. The popularity of the two great field preachers of the last century did not at first disturb ecclesiastical repose ; both were sons of the Church, had taken her orders, used and even attended her services, and, while denouncing unworty priests, never attacked the altar which they served. Yet soon after the Church began to be alarmed. The French Revolution set all the Radicals against priests of every description. This, however, only roused the bishops and clergy to triumphant wrath., Thera was no easier way to devote any over-zealous reformer to Church or State to a mob auto de fe than by pronouncing him a Jacobin. The mob was as serviceable to the Church then as it is just at this moment to the domestic institution of our American cousins. The great danger began when two denominations, separated by their opinions on one point only, the Baptists and Independents, awakened from their slumbers by the successes of WHITFIELD and WES LEY, began to push their opinions and to make proselytes among the middle classes. Their church government is strictly republican. The Memoirs of JEFFERSON mention that that statesman ob tained his first conceptions of the federal union of independent states from what he observed in churches of the Baptist communion. One prime article of their creed, and that of the Inde pendents also, is, that each of their churches is a complete sovereign organisation, amenable to no external authority, and every member having equal votes. Endowments, even by individuals, were soon found to be adverse to this out-and-out republicanism ; and voluntaryism has long be come their avowed reliance. Their independence was guaranteed by each member being able to diminish the means of any usurper or invader of their :liberties, by withdrawing his quota from the church treasury. Now, as advanced liberals ourselves, we must do these twin sects the justice to acknowledge their services to the great cause of freedom. Whatever a man's religious principles, it is cer tain that they materially modify his conceptions of government and politics. How few High Churchmen fail of being good Tories also. Im plieit obedience to the Rector and the Diocesan, issue in a tendency to "quiet submission to the powers that be. On the other hand, the sects we have adverted to, distinguished by a purely republican church polity, have hardly a Tory among them. He is quite a black sheep where he is to be found. When the Anti- State Church Association was proved, which, held its meeting under a new name on Thursday, so far as we could ascertain the active men belonged almost exclusively to these bodies, and we are informed that to this day it numbers but a few Churchmen, Wesloyans, Presbyterians, or even Catholics amongst its prominent agents. We believe public atttention has been directed to this fact, for a fact we believe to be, hitherto. The Hon. Rev. Baptist W. NOEL no sooner became the minister of a Baptist Chapel, than he published at once a large octavo, and, we are told, a rather vigorous attack against the union of Church and State. It has been the same with other seceding clergymen who have joined these ecclesiastically republican Dissenters. It is plain that at length they have succeeded in gaining for their favourite principle of volun taryism, the respectful attention of respect table Members of Parliament. Mr, MIA.LLS motion on the Irish Church last session, though avowedly based on the voluntary principle, obtained upwards of 120 votes in its favour. And both out of Parliament and in it, such men as Mr. GLADSTONE and Lord S'TANLEY, from there very different points of view, have in dulged in very strong encomiums on voluntaryism. The abolition of protection in so many forms, and the overpowering evidence that self dependence has augmented surprisingly the energies of com merce, has also been much in favour of the volun taries. They chime in with the popular senti ment by representling State Endowment as pro tection, and Voluntaryism as free trade in re ligion ; and thousands who would give no head to a theological dispute, attend when the creed of the day is invoked. The abolition of the Clergy. Reserves in Canada, and the general determina tion of the colonies to do away with State grants for religious purposes, must also have an influence on the mother country. To all this has to be added to the results of the religious census ; not merely was it proved that one half the worshippers in the kingdom did support their own worship ; but even the prodi gious church building efforts of the last few years have been voluntary efforts—efforts, too, the results of which have stood in marked con trast with the little effected, byGovernment grants, for the same object. Thouaands of Churchmen have been taught, by the best of all teachers, how much more they could de for their Church than they had thought they could. The success of the Free Church in Scotland, of Popery in Ireland, and the total failure of our wealthy Establishment there, have all come in support of the new danger to the Church. Perhaps Mr. SPOONER, has helped the Dissenters as much as any one. Every argu ment he can use kw disendowing Maygooth with honourable and business mop, argument for di: endowing the religion of the minority in Ireland. The Voluntaries support Mr. SPOONER, as they con sistently state with a double reason ; for they at the same time vote against a State Endowment, and will compel Catholics to vote ultimately for the disendowment of the Irish Church. We believe the Church of England has made in the last five and twenty years great advances in efficiency; but, unfortunately for her State Establishment, they have all been at the expense of that principle. All the members of the Esta blishment have done in this way has so far but gone to prove that they do not need help frcim without. Looking these facts in the face, we m ust confess that if the Church were the Esta blishment, and the Eitalilishment the Church, the Church is indeed in danger; but as no one now be• lieves this, we must also confers that the Church, in our opin ion, never was less in danger. She is learning better every year how to go alone, and exercise is bracing her muscles. Should the day of separation come—as Lord STANLEY says it will at latest by the next generation—she will be found as able as D:ssenters are to take care of herself. From the meeting of the Society for the Liberation of Religion from State Patronage and Control, at the London Tavern, we gather that it is intended to prosecute vigorously the campaign against the Irish Church next session. The Voluntaries have certainly chosen for attack an institution which no Statesman can defend on its own merits, but which yet seems a valuable sup port to the Establishment here. It is commencing to demolish the building by first battering a shaky though by no means unimportant buttress. A morning contemporary, of which a year or two ago it was supposed L)rd J. RUSSELL had, for political purposes, become part proprietor, now comes forward with a proposal which, it is to be hoped, the Premier will entertain as it deserves ; no less, in sooth, than that "JOHNNY who upset the coach" shall be pitchforked from the obscurity of the back benches, to which pique and vaulting ambition have consigned him, to the Ministerial forerank in the Lords ! No doubt the Noble Lord has done good service to his country in his day, but the last services his Lordship rendered were " to upset the coach" and walk arm-in-arm, metaphorically as well as literally, with Prince GORTSCHAKOFP at Vienna. The country has not forgotten this, and were the Premier to listen to the suggestion cf our contemporary, instead of adding strength to his Ministry he would intro duce an element of suspicion and peril. The attitude of Russia at the present moment would add greatly to the impolicy of a selection from which in any case no pos -1 sible good can be anticipated. But a short period would be allowed to elapse before his Lordship would be found "at his old trick again," leaving the Premier to repent his ill-advised good nature at his leisure. " Sorry sight," therefore, as it may be to see his Lordship wasting another session on the back benches, with the Liberal party in power, it is but the penalty of his own misdeeds, and he must make the best of it. The Liberal party is not so weak as to be' unable to furnish whatever accession of ministerial strength may be required in the Lords, without having recourse to aid which would every Where be re garded with suspicion. The Noble Lord is " used up " for Ministerial purposes, and the best thing he can do is to redeem the past by illuminating the shade of the back benches with the lustre of public services independently ren dered, without looking for any further reward than " the testimony of a good conscience." His Lordship's case is not hopeless, "sorry" as the "sight" may be. He has but to wash in the waters of repentance to be clean--in his present cipacity. Lord PALMERSTON can hardly afford to have his coach upset just now. ELECTION OR MAYOR OF BATH. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) Robert Cook, Esq., was this day (Monday), unanimously elected Mayor of Bath.

I have to say that on the occasion referred to I took the course which is usual when a deputation waits upon a member of the Government, viz.—to request per mission to be present. This request was granted not only to myself, but to another gentleman connected with the press, who sent up his card with a request that he might also be permitted to be present.•—l have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, THE _REPORTER. London, Nov. 8. THE CABINET.—The first Cabinet Council this sea., n will be held on Tuesday next, the 11th inst., and is expected to be attended by all the members of the Cabinet. Lord Panniure, the Secretary of State for War, returned to London from Scotland in the early part of the week ; Mr. Labouchere has returned from Overstowey, Soinersetshire, and is now staying at Stoke park, near Windsor ; Lord Clarendon is staying at his seat, the Grove; Lord Granville returned to London on Thursday night from the baths, at Carlsbad, having travelled to this country, via Paris ; Sir G. C. Lewis reached town last night ; Lord Stanley of Alderley is expected this day from Alderley-park, Cheshire ; Sir G. Grey and Sir C. Wood are expected to arrive in the metropolis on Monday ; Lord Palmerston was the - guest of th e Queen, a. Windsor Castle, hut (wile to London this (Monday) morning. The Lord Chancellor is still in town, and the Duke of Argyll and Mr. Baines is expected in London. In future the Cabinet will meet at the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury, in Downing-street, instead of the Foreign-office as hitherto. A Nzw PEER.—The Queen has created Lord Talbot de Malahide a Peer of the United Kingdom, by the same style and title which he bears in toe peerage of Ireland. RUMOURED RESIGNATION OF THE BISHOP OF RO cEiEsEER.—The John Bull says :—We have to believe that the Bishop of Rochester is contemplating the resig nation of his See. GLOUCESTER AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.—The annual meeting of the society will be held here on the 27th inst . The entries a re numerous, and a highly successful meet ing is expected. There is no sign of the arrival of the James Baines. Mr. Wigan has been unable, through indisposition, to perform during the pact week. His part in "Tit fa. tat" has been taken by Mr. George Vining , a nd in " The Model of a w if e "by Mr. Danvers. Mr. Robson has, therefore, been the main attraction during the week, in the burlesque of " Medea." Mr. Webster is in Paris, "taking notes," we imagine, for the production of the extravaganza of "The Elves," an adaptation, by Mr. Selby, of the ballet •f "Lea Elfs," so successful in Paris. NEW GRANADA COMFANY.—At the half-yearly meeting of the New Granada Company, held on Friday, the directors presented a report on the progress of the mix months ending the 30th of June, according to which there has been a loss of 1,9471. The prospects of the undertaking have since improved, and the returns for July and August from the Frontino Mine have exceeded sly previously received. ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OF ENGLAND.—WO understand that a great public meeting will be held at Chester on Saturday, the 22d inst., under the presidency of the Marquis of Westminster, fir the purpose of deter mining on the best steps to insure the meeting of the above society being held at Chester in 1858. It is un mistakeably the most convenient place for the county c f Chester, as well as North Wales.

The fatal termination was not anticipated until within a few hours of his decease, when inflammation of the brain set in, and notwithstanding everything was done for him that medical science could suggest, he gradually sank, a, :d expired at the hour above stated. P . must row be a subject of great satisfaction to all inter tasted in further ing the ends of justice that o pportunity was taken to en- ' able the deceased to identify his assassin while in full rO3- Be33ioH of his faculties. LATEST NEWS. MARSEILLES, SUNDAY. Tho English expedition sailed on th© 30th October, from Bombay. Tho Irnaum of Muscat will furnish us with reinforcements and pro- visions. By advices from Constantinople of the 30th we learn that the Cressy and Desperate have arrived to reinforce Lord Lyons. The St. Jean d'Acro is expected. Austria has succeeded' in pacifying Montenegro. The question of replacing the Cainialcan of Wal lachia by Prince Samos-Ghika is again raised. HANOVER, Nov. 9. The Chambers have been dissolved by royal decree. A general election will take place. The new Chamberg will be convened for the 10th cf February, 1857. The Vienna correspondent of the Times (se cond edition), says : " It is related in diplomatic circles that on th i s very day on which Count de Morny received a hint from his master not to do any business' as long as he remained in Russia, ho sold the splen did carriage which he had used at the Coronation to the Emperor Alexander for 60,000 f. No guarantee can be given for the correctness of the foregoing piece of information, but it was related to me as a positive fact, and does not appear improbable. The Austrians ask whether Lord Granville or Prince Esterhazy would have consented to sell his State carriage to the Monarch to whom he had been sent on an extra ordinary mission, and the reply to the question is almost always in the negative. In this part of the world people have never had a very high opinion of the great majority of those persons who are around the Emperor Napoleon, but during the last two or three months they have lost all confidence in them. If an alliance with Russia were likely to be of advantage to the Emperor Napoleon there would be some little excuse for the conduct of his official advisers, but it is here be lieved that some of them make all other conside rations subservient to their own private interests." NEW ALLIANCES. In an article entitled "New Alliances," which is in the Frankfort Post Zeitany of the 4th, it is said that the Bund ought to give its entire sup port to Austria and England, but the writer has little confidence in Prussia. He speaks of the peace of Tilsit, and recals to the recollection of Prussia the disastrous consequences of that treaty, but he evi dently feels that the B.:Tlin Cabinet is likely to take advantage of the favourable opportunity which now presents itself for being revenged on Austria. Prince Schwarzenberg, the late Austrian Minister, made Baron Von Manteuffel " cat so much dirt," in 1851, and that statesman has been excessively bilious ever since. It is positively known here that Prussia gives her support to Russia and France in the matter of the withdrawal of the English and Austrian forces from the Turkish territory, and it is believed that she approves the refusal of Russia to cede New Bolgrad. qn the Ist the Grand Duchess Alexandra, the wife of the Grand Duke Constantine, who is of the family of Saxe•Altenburg, arrived at Berlin. THE KING OP NAPLES. The Naples correspondent of the Oest. Zictung writes that the King now, appears inclined to make some slight concessions. The expected amnesty is likely to be delayed for a few days, as some alter ations are to be made in the royal decree " in favour of the prisoners." It is related that the Duke of Calabria, the eldest son of the King of Naples, will meet the Emperor and Empress of Austria at Venice. It is whispered in some private circles, which are generally well informed, that his Majesty has relinquished all idea of going to Milan, but he will certainly go to Venice and Verona, and that on the 17th of this month. The Frankfort and Berlin papers inform 'the public that the Political Committee of the German Confederation has pronounced in favour of the motion which was made by Prussia on Thursday, 30th October, but (says a letter just received from Vienna) the news is only partially correct. On the Ist Nov. the Committee recommended the Bund to intercede in favour of the Royalist pri soners in Neuchatel, and to accede to the London Protocol of May 21, 1852, but it ignored that part of the proposition of the representative of Prussia in which it was the question of the employment " of more serious measures" if the Swiss Confede. ration should remain obdurate. The Zeit, a Prussian Ministerial organ, an nounces that a magnificent team of Trakehner horses has been sent by the King of Prussia to the Emperor of the French, and adds, that his Majesty has already received presents of value from Louis Napoleon. The Wiener Zietung announces that all the members of the European Danubian Commission are assembled at Galatz. The Neue Wurzbicry Zeitung, which every now and then picks up a piece of authentic informa tion, contains the following : "We learn that some weeks since France and Russia entered into a binding engagement relative to the line of conduct to be observed on the fol lowing questions :—The Danubian Principalities and their future re-organisation ; the new Mol davian frontier and the prolongation of the occu pation of the Principalities and of the Black Sea." RUSSIAN RAILWAYS. Thefollowing informatiow, which is froth Baron von Reden's Russian Statistics, will be of interest to those who wish for information relative to the projected railroads : G 1.

The average cost of the St. Petersburg-Moscow railroad was 78,0001. for rather less than five English miles. THE RUSSIAN ARMY. The Oesterreichische Zeitung learns from Kalisch that for many years the military force in Russian Poland has not been so small as is now the case. The whole army does not consist of more than 60,000 men, and it is not likely to be reinforced until the price of provisions bas fallen in Poland. Thu great bulk of tile Russian army is in Podolia ant Volhynia. In Southern Russia, where there wai formerly nothing but oavalry, there is now the whole of the second army corps, with its head-quarters at Kharkoff. When the war com menced there was but one division in the Crimea,' but now there aro three. The correspondent coi eludes by remarking that in respect to Turkey the attitude of Russia is more " commanding " than before. THE RUSSIAN NAVY. According to the Treaty of Peace, Russia is only to have a certain number of vessels of war in the Black Sea, but the new Steam Navigation Company will have 26 post steamers, sia other steamers, 10 tug steamers, and 20 " barks." The crows of these vessels are to have the same uniform and discipline as the sailors who are in the Imperial service. Materiel of war has been taken by the Perun to Sebastopol, and five tran sports have conveyed troops to Suchum Kaleh. CANADA. We have been favoured with the following tele graphic despatch brought by the Persia : "MONTREAL, 00T. 28. "The railway was opened yesterday, the 27th of October, from Montreal to Toronto. The dis tance was performed in 14 hours." FRANCE: " PARIS, SUNDAY. " The Emperor and the Empress arrived , at 4 o'clock at Paris, and have left for St. Cloud. " Their Majesties visited on Saturday the Salle d'Asile, and the hospital at Compiegne. They met with the warmest welcome from the population." The Debats, in commenting upon the address of Lord Palmerston at Manchester, hopes that, in the words of the Premier, "as the peace of Europe de pends en the fidelity with which Russia performs the conditions of the Treaty of Paris," that " the English Government will carry into the execution of this treaty the spirit of conciliation and good faith, and the respect for justice and right by which it demands Russia to regulate her conduct !" The Siecle's article, headed "La question qui s'agite," is as follows : "Although this question has lost much of its importance in consequence of the conciliatory de claration in the Moniteur, we Must address a last word to our adversaries. There is an old aphor ism, that to understand persons aright you must fancy yourself in their position. We shall briefly describe the position which our opponents would impose upon England. Let it be supposed that we, France, had remained in the Crimea and the Black Sea, and that Russia did not execute the Treaty of Paris. Would we consent to delegate the execution of that treaty to a.congress ? Would we consent to raise our camps and withdraw our vessels 1 Would there be found a single public journal that would dare to advocate such weakness, such an abandonment of all prudence and all dig nity ? Assuredly not. Everybody in France would say with one consent—' We are in the Black Sea, let us remain there till the treaty is executed. Let us not run the risk of having to undertake a new expedition.' But because it is England, and not ourselves, that is in this position, can we ask her to do what we would not do if we were in her place ? That is neither just nor reasonable, and we feel persuaded that after the first surprise, after having better considered the question, those who have taken the was mest part against England will not persist in condemning her to pass under the yoke of an European judgment, when she is only acting within the letter of the treaties. For the rest, the very moderate way in which the Moniteur, in few words, explains the nature of the difference will doubtless have more influence in calming our contemporaries than the remon strance which we addressed to them the day before yesterday. ln order to excite public opinion against our allies of Inkerman and Sebastopol, the parti sans of the Russian alliance confound two moral situations essentially different. They assimilate England to Austria. In the first place, the intimate alliance between England and Austria, which is held up as a fact, in order to throw odium upon the English government, can only be believed in by those who forget everything when influenced by their passions. There is no serious politician in Europe who does not know the terrible war which Lord Palmerston has waged against Austria, and of the steady reprisals made by Austrian diplomat ists. Celebrated books have been written before this hand-to-hand duel, and this is all we nerd say to those who circulate the rumour of an alliance between Lord Palmerston and the government whose publicist was the Count de Fiquelmont. In the next place, the moral situation of England and Austria in the East are not the same. Aus tria is not in the Principalities by the same original title that England is in the Black Sea. Austria did not fight. She does not occupy the Princi palities by virtue of a victory, but in pursuance of a private treaty between her and the Porte, made long prior to the treaty of Paris the Treaty of Paris merely fixed the period for her evacuation of these territories, in vague terms, aussitot que faire se pourra (Art. 31), and added that the period was to be arranged between her and the Porte. England, on the contrary, occupies no territory. She had ships in the Black Sea when Sebastopol was taken ; she keeps them there, and unless the Porte for mally calls upon her to withdraw them, she is perjeqly justified in leaving them there as long as she fears for Turkey. This consideration reminds us to supply au omission made by many of those writers who have pronouncedagainst England, and who are now called to moderation by the Moniteur in the person of the Constitutionnel. They com pletely forget that after the Treaty of Paris there was another treaty called the treaty of guarantee. Now this treaty, concluded on April 15, stipulates: "Art. 1. The high contracting parties jointly and separately guarantee the independence and integ rity of the Ottoman empire laid down in the treaty concluded at Paris the 30th March, 1856. Art. 2. Any infraction of the stipulations of the treaty will be considered by the undersigned powers as a cares belli. They will come to an understanding with the Sublime Porte as to the measures which may have become necessary, and will without delay arrange between themselves the employment to be made of their naval and military forces." Had our adversaries read the first article of the Treaty of Paris, they would have seen that it is not a ques tion of a new Congress. Each power guarauteee the integrity of the Ottoman Expire, not only jointly with the other powers, but also separately. This is clearly expressed. Moreover, the word "separately" i nvo l ves each power to the extent of its guarantee. England has not only guaranteed that integrity in concert with France and Austria; it has likewise guaranteed it alone, and France and Austria are in the same po sition. England does not require our con sent to remain in the Black Sea, nor should we require hers in order to protect the Ottoman em pire from any danger that might arise. We repeat that the partisans of the Russian alliance have purposely rendered this question obscure. Not only have they sought to cast odium on the conduct of England, but they have caused the French press to lose from view the exact notion of the rights conferred on France by treaties. They have mis led the public. When we seek to re-establish the truth, it is solely in the interest of our country, which may find itself one of these days in the posi tion of England. The treaty of guarantee allows to each power the right of separate guarantee. This right is ours ; why therefore refuse it to Eng land ? We have been reproached with exaltation. Nevertheless, we reason with moderation, and we appeal to the common sense of the public. Let those journals which abuse us enter into a more minute study of the question ; they will dis cover their error. . . . . We maintain what we have said respecting the secret intentions of the ultra-conservatives of Europe, and on the necessity, of the firmest alliance between France and England —a genuine alliance, in which each power will preserve its liberty of action and sovereign inde pendence. The boldness of the reactionists renders this alliance more than ever necessary. Since the pease, we have witnessed the attempt at Neucha tel, the circular of Prince Gortschakoff, the resis' ance of the King of Naples, the royalist reyolution in Spain. These events should teach us prudence, for either they have no signification, or they are the forerunners of others. The intimate union on a footing of equality. of the two great western nations can alone conjure the danger. The .essemblee, replying to yesterday's article in the Siecle, objects that it has inaccurately cited the articles of the treaty of April 15, which, according to the text published by the Annuaire des Deux Mondes, states that the high contracting parties guarantee the independence of the Ottoman empire, no b jointly and separately," as the Siecle says, but solidarily (solidairement). This argument t f the Assembles, however, amounts to nothing, for solidairement means jointly and separately. .M................. 1 A Paris correspondent of the Independance of Brussels writes :—" There is no foundation in the reported journey of Prince Napoleon to the East• The visit of the prince to the court of Wirtemberg had, it is said, for principal object a nifktritnonia! alliance, there beilig nofuC atea of a ni,ion kis Imperial Highness and one of the daughters c f the Duke of Lenchtenberg and of the Grand. Duchess Maria of Russia." 1 1'1 - 1.0 QUAIITERLIE6, The North British Review. No. LL—Decidedly the most elegant, the most instructive, and the most original contribution we have seen for many a long day in the Quarterlies is the one adorning this November number of the North British, Re view, in relation to the exquisite and marvellous Science of Optics. "Sight, and how to See," is its title—the title of a paper evidently penned not merely by a master of the beautiful subject of which it treats, but by one who has entered upon its examination with a reverent sense of the myste ries impenetrable to mortal ken—those awful and affecting attestations of a Power beyond the reach of human comprehension—attestations of that Su preme Power meeting us, in an inscrutable aspect, at every turn in the manifold mazes of the grand and intricate labyrinth of NaturalPhilosopby. Un fathomable mysteries--mysteries that baffle the apprehension of the most astute investigators— my steries leaving the greatest sages of whom the world has record standing bewildered and awe stricken, as Newton humbly acknowledged him self to be—like a child picking up shells and pebbles upon the Shores of the great Ocean of Truth ! Such incomprehensible mysteries, for example, as the spleen is to the anatomist—as parturition is to the physiologist —as germination, is to the botanist—as life is to the pyschologist— as comets are to the astronomer. Precisely one of these inscrutable and ineffable mysteries is the retina to the optician—that innermost core and ultimate channel of vision, of the nature of which opticians know just as little as astronomers know of " comets," or psychologists of " life," or botanists of "germination," or physiologists of "parturition." ,or anatomists of the "spleen." About the charm and interest of this eminently graceful and attrac tive treatise upon "Sight," in the North British, we should, had we either space or leisure for so doing, be tempted to dilate at some length to our heart's content, and as we doubt not it would prove also to our reader's satisfaction. As it is, we are perforce driv e n t o th e other branch of the alternative—that of briefly but earnestly commending the attention of the; curious to the article itself in its original entirety—promising them through its perusal no ordinary amount of either information or entertainment. Besides the contribution for the present quarter, the con tribution par excellence, by reason, as we have already intimated, of its blended elegance, learn ing, and originality, there are seven other papers of various merit, making up the aggregate contents of the November number (the 51st) of the North British. An appreciative criticism upon "The Works of Dr. Chalmers," A survey through the eye of Fronde of "Th e Times < f Henry VIII.' , A consideration of the rights and duties of " The Workmen of Europe." A review of " Remusat on Bolingbroke." An estimate under the collective heading of " Religious Novels," of " Loss and Gain," of " The Daisy Chain," and of that much talked of Tale for the Times—" Perversion." A general view of " Edinburgh Lawyers," in particu lar relation to " Cock burn's Memorials." And—e the political article of the number—a chapter in reference to Spain, with especial allusion of course to thatsanguinary coup d'etat of O'Donnell, which ended in the resumption by Narvaez of the sword and the fasces of a Dictator. LI l'E RATURE. Records of Longevity. By Thomas Riney. Dation and Co., Holborn-hill. This volume affords a list of the names of those who attained a patriarchal age. It gives an intro ductory Discourse on Vital Statistics, recommend - . ing the usual golden rules of exercise, temperance , and peace of mind ; and the anecdotes scattered through the pages in connection with the modern Methusalehs tend to pleasantly relieve the some' what dry subject. THE LATE MR. BRETTELL. PARIS, Saturday.—We mentioned two or three days since that some friends of the late Mr. Alfred C. Brettell entertaining suspicions that the cause of his death had not been truly stated, had PP' plied to the Procureur Imperial for a post rcort ein examination. The funeral took place_ before _LI; order on the subject was made. But t h e result a judicial inquiry has so far confirmed the grounds for suspicion that the authorities have thought it right to have the body exhumed. A post mortem examination was made this day by Dr. Tardier, the eminent surgeon usually employed in Buell cases, and the contents 'of the stomach, the heart, liver, and lungs, enclosed in two sealed jars, hays been taken away to be examined. The subject causes so much excitement among the English resi dents of the Faubourg St. Honore, and is so ger''' . rally talked of, that I no longer fear to prejud ice any one by giving an outline of the case as it has been represented to me. Mr. Brettell was a gentleman of large fortune, amounting, as 140131 , e say, to 60,0001., and as others say, to 100, 000 I• The whole of this fortune is understood to be left to an English lady, now in Paris, who was no re lation to the deceased. He was in a bad state of body, owing to intemperate habits, and it appears that he was shaken and injured a good deal by the fall from the box of his carriage, which occurred, not at Chantilly, as stated by rein' take, but on the Lamarche race-course. After that accident he was taken home and placed under the care of his ordinary medical attendant, Dr• M'Carthy, an English subject, but a licensed mem' ber of the French Faculty of Medicine. He g ot considerably better, and Dr. M'Carthy did I . l ° consider him in any immediate danger. However' whether by his own wish or not I have not heard, a Dr. Jones, who it seems had attended him eu previous occasions, was sent for by telegraph frail • London, and it i s a ll ege d th a t D r. J ones proceedecl• to treat him with ou t pu tti ng hi mse lf in commune cation with Dr. M'Carthy, which it is said, accord-! ing to the medical etiquette usually observed, h? ought to have done. This Dr. Jones administere a , to the patient a white powder which he took fru° his waistcoat pocket, and two hours after taking this powder Mr. Brettle died. Now the circumstanc e° which which aae considered to call for explanatil on the part of Dr. Jones are that he at first signe d a certificate that_deceased had died from epilepsh. that he subsequently stated that he and Dr' M`Carthy were both prepared to certify that Wu:• cuss:on of the brain was the cause of death (the fae" being that Dr. M`Carthy declines to concur in all. such certificate), that he has on several occasions admitted that the medicine he administered to Mr' Brettle was a most potent one, and that wh°. lll pressed to say what it was, his only answer 16 9 " That is my secret." On being interrogated br the commissary of police, and ased to produce„ specimen of the powder, he said he had none 1 814 ' but he finally wrote a prescription for making it 0:: Although the circumstances certainly call for Oil thorough investigation which they will receive, cannot help thinking that it will turn out th i .a there has been no wilful poisoning in the case. t . ll the imeaniime Dr. Jones has been ordered not I ° leave Paris, and is under surveillance.
