With reference to the circular memorandum from the Horse Guards, dated Sept. 19, 1855, on the subject of services of officers, the returns required must be sent as soon as possible after the let of January next, instead of the Ist of April. In the column for leave of absence, it should be stated whether it was by wounds or illness, certified by Medical Board, or on private affairs, and whether to England or any other place. Short periods under one month not to be inserted, unless an officer was thereby prevented from being present at some action where his regiment was engaged. It is of great consequence that the information contained in these returns should be perfectly accurate ; therefore every officer can see the return of his own services. The best attention of general and commanding officers must be given to these returns ; and Field-Marshal Viscount Hardinge desires that the statement of each officer's ser vice may be signed by the offieers commanding regi ments, brigades, and divisions.

No. 5. With reference to General Orders No. 5, of the 17th of May, and No. 5, of the 22d of May, 1855, the purveyors at the several hospitals will furnish punctually at the end of each month to regiments, at the same time with the return of ration stoppages, a nominal return of the hospital orderlies entitled to receive free rations.

Last evening a meeting of the electors of Southwark was held at the Southwark Literary Institution, Bo rough-road, for the purpose of hearing their hon. mem ber explain his Parliamentary conduct during the past session. Mr. il'OnN TawArrrs having been called to the chair, said that having been unexpectedly called upon -to pre side over that meeting, he took that opportunity of pay ing his first respects to their worthy representative, and Lis last respects to the electors of Southwark, who he hoped would push forward their reforms with unanimity and vigour. Mr. Pellatt would detail his votes during the past session of Parliament, and then answer any question that weight be put to him. Mr. APSLEY PELLATT congratulated the electors on the improved state of public affairs sine() he addressed them this time last year. He passed a high eulogium on the character of the late Sir Wm. Moleswortb, and ap proval of the election of Sir C. Napier in his place. In reference to the war he said the Baltic and Black Sea should be thrown open to free trade, and that the war ought to be continued until these terms were wrung from the reluctant Czar even at any cost. Although it was true that a great deal of public time was wasted in Parliament there were bills last session that took up a great deal of time not unnecessarily. He alluded to the Tenant-right Bill for Ireland, the Educa tion Bill for Scotland, both of which were of the utmost lasportance to the two countries, and, therefore, de manded the fullest discussion. He next referred to Sir B. Hall's bill, and said, though it required improvement, the Government were willing to take it as it was at that late period of the session rather than throw it over alto gether. He wanted to see a wide street extending from Westminster to London-bridge, and he hoped Mr. Thwaites, as chairman of the Board of Works, would endeavour to carry that object out. The Limited Lia bility Bill was another of those acts which the lateness of the session precluded them from perfecting, and he hoped to see the distinction between the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Courts abolished. He then referred to the burial board, and condemned the practice of allowing such high fees for the erection of monuments. The British Museum, he said, ought to be opened five dap a week instead of three, and he would endeavour to obtain that concession, considering the public paid 55,0001. a year to keep it up. The army also wanted much reform, and he was prepared to support any mea sure that had that object in view. In answer to questions put to him he said he objected to opening public buildings on Sunday from conscienti ous scruples, and he should ever oppose such a measure. He had proposed in the House of Commons to divide the Metropolitan Local Management Bill into two parts, one for each side of the river, but from the minority he found himself in, he did not press it, nor should he do so in future, as no good would result from it. He thought 1,0001. a year to Mr. Thwaites, as chairman of the Board of Works, would be a very honourable allowance, and no doubt that gentleman would think so too, but he (Mr. Pellatt) was not prepared to say that after the first few years, when he had proved himself efficient, the chairman's salary should remain at that amount. With regard to the qualification of a vestryman he thought the rating should be much lower. Mr. L. WILTSHIRE then moved " A vote of thanks to, and confidence in, Mr. Apsley Pellatt," which was seconded by Mr. NEWMAN, when Dr. CHALLICE put a question respecting the course he intended taking to ensure the consumers on the Surrey side of the water a proper supply of good gas at a rea sonable rate. Mr. Arnly Pgradtrr said, the bill that they objected to contained protective clauses, which would have en sured them what they now asked, but they rejected it. They could now only rectify the evil they complained of by starting a nest company , •- s • - - ~ This annonnoment led to a very noisy and lengthene discussion, during which the consumers of gas fre quently declared they had been " sold," and cries of " shame" arose on all bands. The resolution was, however, ultimately carried by a small majority, and a vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings. - - -- ADMIRAL SAUNDERS DUNDAS. (From the LiFeipool Albion.) Admiral Dundas, it seems, has for some time back virtually anticipated his own deprivation of the Bal tic command, for he said he would not actively re sume it. He considered the operations proposed by the Admiralty for the next Baltic expedition to be per fectly futile, regarded Cronstadt as quite impregnable, and that it would be the sheerest waste of time, men, and materiel to attack it ; Helsingfors as in precisely the same category ; and, moreover, it is said that he dit:approves of the war in principle and policy, and deems all operations in the) Baltic to he alike un warranted, needless, and preposterous. Not only this, but, it is now added, that he acted against his better judgment when he assailed Sweaborg; that he knew and said the assault would prove the partial, result less, and abortive thing it has turned out ; that the fortresses, the real strength of the plaoe, would be easily made stronger than ever, as they have been ; and, lastly, he is reputed to have made as little secret of his opinions on all these points as did his prede cessor, Sir C. Napier, on certain points the year be fore. We believe there is small doubt now that when the true story of the attack on Sweaborg comes to be told, it will differ as much from the gazetted nar rative as the amended version current in January, 1856, of the Bala,klava charge differed from that told by Lord Cardigan at the Lord Mayor's banquet the preceding winter. There is this rather essential difference, that the sea captain nut ..... only did not seek to take credit for what he had no done, but was anxious to decline much of the credit he indisputably earned, and which his friends would force upon him ; whereas the noble horseman, who incessantly blew his own trumpet, was insatiate of praise for wholly unattempted and impossible performances. Of course, with Admiral Dundee's opinions, it was not to be thought of that he should proceed to the Baltic again. But then arise for the public two most important questions—First, Are these opinions attributed to him founded in fact 1 proposed Co p os r ed ia n s taavdatl, campaign,ilei is n g f o r f s o , r Sc c the . , i coming p reg n e a p b r le ie g ? , Ins the Baltic, with our countless fleets of stupendous battle ships and shot-proof floating batteries, and all the un precedented accessories to suceess—is this campaign certain, or even remotely likely, in the opinion of the admiral who conducted the last, to be like that last and the one preceding it—namely, something only to sigh over or to laugh at? Secondly, if such be the admiral's opinion, why did he—we will not say avow it, for we believe he did avow it—hut why did he not immediately throw up his command 1 This he might have done long ago, without detriment to the service, for the season was one of stagnation. But to do it now, on the very eve of the renewal of active hostilities, is, to say the least, a very curious pro ceeding. Not less curious, however, is the conduct of Ministers if they knew, as of course they must or ought to have done, the opinion of the gallant ad miral, and did not instantly relieve him from so false a position, fraught with obvious detriment to the efficiency and prestige of the navy. What must the navy, what must the nation, what must the Czar, think of an expe dition from the command of which two admirals in suc cession retire I—one partly in disgust at the Admiralty and the Admiralty disgusted with him ; the other in disgust with the enterprise itself. But the instance now before us need, perhaps, excite little astonishment after all. It is but of a piece with the proceedings of those who led us into the war, and then backed out of it. Rightly was it surmised that when certain Russians were expelled the Cabinet they left others behind them equally friendly to the enemy. Dundas, as a non fight ing admiral, was always supposed to be a protege of that clique, as opposed to Napier, who would have fought if he were allowed. The last "action" of Dundas now seemingly justifies the appreciation of his Peelite admirers. Perhaps, however, we are labouring under a delusion all this while, for we see that Admiral Lyons and Dundas are to assist at the forthcoming Council of War at Paris. This is, indeed, the crowning coupe of the whole inexplicability, only there is one cons ideration gives us pause : which Dundas is it —he of the Baltic or of the Black Sea ? As far as the enemy need care, we believe it does not much matter ; and of course it mat ters as little to the country which has such very discreet guardians of its honour in a war of all others that needed and admitted of deeds worthy of the antique fame of our flag. _.-----...... 120 of the Medical Staff Corps, who have been per fected in their respective duties as stewards, assistant stewards, and hospital orderlies, will quit their depot, Chatham, to-morrow, to embark at Deptford on board the.

She has neither thrown the messenger into a well, as the ancient •Greeks did the emissaries of the Great King when,they Caine to demand from them earth and water, nor rua him up to the yardarm of one of those frigates which, though secluded from the sea, may yet perform indifferently well the functions of a gallows, nor dismissed him with out an answer. Russia is silent, and we presume, therefore, is meditating, and in the interests of peace the more profoundly those intrusted with her destinies meditate the Outer. We cannot, in deed, expect that she will hurry herself to gratify our impatience. She has oar si3net and may rea sonably take her time before she imparts to us hers. A simple " No" would have been soon sent, and the fact that it has not been uttered for ten days is some proof that " No" does not fly so readily to her lips as her English admirers and supporters would have led us to suspect. Doubtless her wary diplomatists are turning Over and over the proposi tions of the allies, and seeking for a soft place on which they may hang an assent, a negotiation, and then a refusal. At any rate, we can wait, for we are in the position of a chess-player who has got the best of the game, and ought not to rap the board with his knucides if his antagonist be rather long in choosing between the embarrassments which are set before him. . Russia, has, indeed, much to consider. We are now beginning to see and she to feel something of those effects which the fall of Sebastopol was sure, sooner or later, to produce. There is a perceptible alteration in the attitude of the smaller States .of Europe. The Scandinavian kingdoms have taken a decided step in advance by entering into the alliance of the allies, who are the avowed enemies of Russia. What is more extraordinary still, those States that appeared to be the most entirely under the control of the modern Macedon—Saxony, Ba varia, and Wurtemberg—are faltering in their allegiance, and, true to the principle of being strong upon the stronger side, are afflicted with doubts whether their side be not now the weaker. The great passive and inert bulk of Germany is be stirring itself in a lumbering and hesitating man ner ' • visions of national unity, of merging indivi dual interests in a truly German policy, of substi tuting patriotism for individualism, and many abstruse logical entities for many others equally abstruse, flit before the German mind, shadowed forth in pamphlets of pages innumerable and sen tences interminable, and the duty of considering whether something having some remote relation to concerted action ought not to be be considered of is enforced with the subtlest dialectics and most recondite terminology of Kant and Hagel. Germany, if not wholly awake, is certainly not entirely asleep ; if a little fuddled, is not en tirely inebriated ; if a little giddy with tobacco-smoke, is not wholly stupified ; and is, indeed, gradually awakening to the conviction that she has talked and written rather too much, and done and adventured rather too little. The Rus sian mind has never evinced much proneness to metaphysics, but enough is disclosed to occasion some anxiety as to the permanence of an influence which, until the war came, she believed to be inde structible. Nor is it easy to say what effect these symptoms of incipient mutiny may have upon the counsels of Austria and of Prussia. To Austria such an awakening of the public mind is no incon siderable encouragement to advance in the course on which she has just entered, since it not only promises to her that support for which she has so long been seeking, but gives an earnest that, far as her policy has fallen short of her duties and her obligations, it has still been of some advantage to her in comparison with the far less excusable tactics of her rival, Prussia. The Court of Berlin, on the other hand, seems to be threatened not only with a descent from the position of a great Power, but with complete isolation from those States the sup port of which she has with so much crooked policy been courting. These things must tend to con vince the one German Power that it has been friendly over much to the Czar, and the other that safety and ambition alike point to a course of more decided hostility. The work of 40 years of intrigue is being rapidly undone, and a further continuance of the war bids fair to uproot an influence in Ger many which 40 years of like intrigue and corrup tion may not restore. • Tot we cannot being ourselves to beliew that the Emperor of Russia, though he hesitates to re fuse, will make up his mind to accept the terms offered him by the allies. In the interior of his kingdom the German party, usually regarded as the friends of peace, has been prostrated, and the Old Russians, the implacable advocates of war and con quest, reign in their stead. Out of Russia the Bel gian organ of the Czar keeps up bravely the note of defiance, and challenges the allies to try the for tune of a campaign in the north. With great ability, and with not more unfairness and effron tery than the exigencies of a rather unmanageable case demand, this journal strives to create dissen sion between England and France, and to prove to both that any hope of a success in the Baltic is utterly futile and absurd. To be sure, it a little over-argues its case when it states that the Baltic is only open four months ; but there is no doubt there is great justice in what it says with reference to the impossibility of wintering in those inhospita ble regions. Since the time of Charles XII. no enemy's army has wintered in the dreary confines of Russia, and the success of that experiment was not so great as to induce its repetition ; but when the Nerd tells us that we can only scratch the feet or pull the hair of Russia its metaphors carry it a little too far. Our scratches have drained the ar teries of the giant, and, though applied at the ex tremities, have been only the more effective on that account. We anticipate, then, from Russia neither a re fusal nor an acceptance, but such a modified counter-proposition as may give rise to negotiations, and enable her to play off upon us the devices of another mystification and another conference. Un less there be a broad and clear acceptance of every main point—unless the proposal relate only to matters of secondary importance, and such as might fairly and reasonably form matter of difference be tween negotiators agreed on essentials, we trust that such insidious overtures will be peremptorily refused. On the conduct of our own Government we have no doubt, and as little of the course which a sense of his own dignity and interest will induce the Emperor of the French to pursue. It must, indeed, be abundantly evident that it is absolutely requisite for the very existence of our Government that it should meet Parliament with a decided an nouncement of peace or war. In announcing either Government may reasonably expect the support of the nation, but a repetition of the uncertainty of last April the House and country cannot and will not tolerate. War to be successful must be carried on not only with the assent, but with the enthusiasm of the people, and enthusiasm cannot he maintained if we are perpetually halting in mid career, and teaching our friends and enemies alike to believe that we are unequal in spirit, if not in strength, to the task we have undertaken. It were presumptuous to speculate as to whether it be for the ultimate benefit of Europe and the world that peace slionld now be concluded. It may be that an immediate cessation from toil and danger may be dearly purchased by giving Russia breath ing time ere her strength be thoroughly exhausted; but we cannot be wrong in thinking that whatever be the merits of either alternative, the c ourse that halts between the two is fraught with mischief and disaster. (Front the Morning Post of this day. ) Now or never ! This is the conviction of the country, and the Government will . in its duty if it do not act in accordance with t it. As the open popular ques tionsg of a Parliament re: a s to t h the a p i p n r o o .u a n c eosf, the he new loan—the possible increase of the income-tax—and the pro ying the ballot to the militia. These priety of applying and such like matters, are earnestly debated, ant. in every quarter the utmost readiness is evinced to afford the Government the assistance it may re quire, however large, to enable it effectually to settle our dispute with Russia. The immense importance of this is felt, because it is behoved, and we think rightly, that if our resolution be not of the boldest nature, and our blows of the severest, we shall risk dragging on for years a profitless and costly struggle, involving endless anxieties, complications, and disasters. On the other hand, if we concentrate our energies and our material, and pour down upon Russia the whole force of which our colossal organisation is capable, we shall deal blows so staggering, so pros trating, that next winter there will be no mistake as to the identity of the real " sick man." With this view, the whole nation applauds the giant proportions of the Baltic Armada, and urges every measure that can promote the efficiency and the success of our arms. Peace is looked upon as to be reached only 11 dedoixe eCorth and though the present negotiationC are believed to be real, they are regarded as futile, because we have not yet done enough to make Russia yield to the Allies alone, and because the nations will not corn ! bine to make her yield to the voice of EuroPe. This last reason, however, is only a repetition of the first ; for nations, for the most part, like indivi duals, take their side according to their interest, which naturally point's to the strongest. We have, • ther,fore, to establish unmistakeably that the slight as well ac the right of the quarrel is on our side before we can expect Germany to take our part. Now, this desirable consummation will be effected all the sooner ht'our ready and determined action. ilt s now with Prussia as it was in the beginning of the war with our more open foe. Then Russia menaced the truth, crossed the Pruth, and seized her " material guarantees," before we could sum mon resolution to tell her we should he obliged to fight. Had we procleirreel at the outset that oar sword would fly from the scabbard at the first foot step of aggression. Russia would never have ad vanced, and we should never Ii the been involved in a war. ‘vl,ichWe mainly owe to Rnssia's not believ ing.iu a &e el: mill:ltem). W ich Ire could not make up our minds to assert. And now, we s h a ll assure dly . entangle ourselves a war with Prussia unless the ATies make clearly known to her th e necess ity under which she lies of joining us, unless he 1103;111, which we sincerely believe she d oes ne t, to league herself with Russia against us. It is of no use for her to support the Austrian propo sitions " loyally," but net effectively. Why urge peace on Russia when she can force it on her ? If Prussia were to stop the supplies of materials of war which the Russians derive from her, and ac knowledging, as she does, the justice of the Western cause, were to ally herself with us, she would then, indeed, be exerting herself in favour of peace. But the King prefers a profitable neutrality, which puts money in the purse though it make him poor in honour, and filches from him his good name. We have endured this long, and are to blame,-per haps, for having done so. But now it is no longer possible to tolerate it. When we go to Cronstadt we cannot leave a hostile neutrality in our rear ; nor can we permit our enemy to be supplied with the means of damaging us by his dangerous neigh bour. It is really too much to ask of our forbear ance to expect that we should allow " our friend" to supply our foe with the means of carrying on the war, when, by simply declaring him—what he is— our enemy, and blockading his ports, wa should render him harmless, and preventlis strengthening our great opponent. These German thinkers have dreamed and dreamed till they imagine the realities of life are as impalpable as some of their own metaphysical theories. But the force of circumstances will soon arouse them to a knowledge of the fact that the balance of power is no idle myth, and that in the European system, when three of the great bodies are in conflict, the others cannot continue unsettled in their orbit, but must take active measures to restore harmony, if they would not see a derange ment so great as to require a new system. In such an event, it would be the fe eble and vacillat ing who would suffer. And such a State as Prussia might deservedly be permanently reduced to the second-rate position which she is contented to hold. THE BANK CHARTER AND THE CUR tiBNCY. Mr. Goddard has addressed a letter to the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer, of which the following is a copy : - - Sir,—l had the honour a few months since to petition the Right Hon. Lord Palmerston on the subject of the Bank Charter. The object of the petition was to show that the vacuum caused by the withdrawal of bank•notes from circulation should be filled as pointed out in the bill of 1844, and that, in accordance with the doctrines upon which that bill was based, the Bank of England should be permitted to increase its issues on a deposit of Government Securities, commensurate with the in crease in the requirements of the Government and the people, since the passing of the Act. The first measure has been carried into effect, and it is understood that the second has been under the con sideration,of the Government. I neveifor one moment considered that the adoption of those measures would place the circulating medium upon a permanent footing. My arguments simply went to show that they were necessary to the integrity of the bill of 1844. On the contrary, I consider the authors of that bill framed it upon erroneous data.. They as sumed as the groundwork of the bill, and the grand basis upon which it was founded, Ist, That the liability of money composed of gold and silver, to vary in amount from time to time, was a valuable characteristic. 2d, That this characteristic should be maintained in a mixed money of gold, silver, and paper ; and 3dly, That mak ing the paper payable in gold on demand would preserve this characteristic, and that this mixed. money would vary in value and amount, precisely as the gold and silver money would vary without the addition of the Now, IE6 liability of gold and silver money to vary in amount, and consequently in exchangeable value, through being melted, hoarded, exported, imported, or through an increase or decrease from the mines, instead of being a valuable characteristic, and worthy of imita tion, is a very great defect, and arises from those metals possessing the two-fold characters of money and merchan dise ; and, secondly, the value of money composed of gold and silver and paper payable in gold on demand, does not and will not vary either in value or amount, as money composed cf gold and silver only would do. lam ready to maintain the correctness of these assertions, and will do so triumphantly, against all the arguments that can be brought against them. With these preliminary remarks, the object of this communication is to propose a plan whereby the circu lating medium can be put upon a sound footing, end at the same time sleet the requirements of the Govern ment and of the people. lam not so sanguine as to suppose that any perfect system of money can be do vised at the present time, nor that the community is prepared to accept of a perfect system could it be devised. The science of money is unquestionably but very imperfectly understood, and a people appear to be incapable of accepting and acting upon a truth much in advance of their own enlightenment on the subject to which it refers. My plan is as follows, viz. :-- lst.—The private and joint-stock banks to be con tinued on their present footir,g, permitting them, how ever, to increase their issues on depositing in the hands of commissioners Government securities to three-fifths of the amount, and gold bullion to two-fifths of the amount of such increased issues. 2d.—The law relating to the establishments of Banks to be amended, divesting it of its impracticable clauses, and allowing them to issue notes upon depositing Go vernment Securities to three-fifths of the amount, and gold bullion to two-fifths of the amount of such issues as aforesaid. The notes of all private and Joint-Stock Banks to he payable, as at the present time, in gold or Bank of England notes, at the option of the payer, on demand. 31—The Bank of England to deposit under lock and key, in charge of Commissioners appointed by Parlia ment for that purpose (the Lord Chancellor, and the Governor of the Bank of England being of the number), eighteen millions in Government Securities and twelve millions in gold bullion, and to be permitted to issue thirty millions of Bank-notes, and these notes, in con sideration of the security so deposited, to be a legal tenthr so long as the said securities are held by the said Commissioners. 4th.—The mint to be open for coining gold at the present price and standard, and the gold coin to con tinue to be a legal tender ; and further, lest in time of war, or of great national exigencies, the gold coin should in some way be taken from circulation to an inconvenient extent ; it should be the duty of the afore said Commissioners, or of some others appointed by Parliament for the purpose, to ascertain from time to time the market price of gold, and this price or value to declaredbe in the Gazette fortnightly, bii cat iocommencing an d duri on g the fortnight succeedingnigt h goldpublication, coin to pass at an d t o b e a l ega l the Monday,h the tender at the price so declared, whether 205., 20s. 3d., 20s. GJ., &c., to the sovereign ; but never under 20s. to the sovereign. This plan would involve no mechanical or organic change. It may be adopted without any trouble or ex pense to any one, worth considering. It would give to the circulating medium all desirable security. The action upon the gold coin would be an unerring index to the state of the import trade, and would tend continuously to keep it in a sound state ; a result which the authors of the bills of 1819 and 1844 have in vain attempted to obtain. it would give full employment to labour ; per manent prosperity to the agricultural and to all the other great interests of the nation ; and the country would be carried through the war, or through any war waged in defence of the rights of the nation triumphantly. I have the honour to remain, Sir, your most obedient servant, SAMUEL A. GODDARD. To the Right lion. G. Cornewall Lewis, Chancellor of the Exchequer. -1 A SHARE MARKETS.
