ONEY MARKET AND VOIVIMERCIAIi INTruiGrwcr.. CITY, Two o'CLoolt. The Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, closed firmly, and prices of Americans were id. per lb. dearer than on Friday. The sales were 8,000 bales (1,000 for export, and 1,000 on speculation), comprising 350 Pernam and Maranham, at 61d. to 71d. ; 300 Egyptian, fiid. to 9d. ; 800 Surat, 4!,d. to 51d. per lb. The Railway Share Market opened quietly, but subsequently improved, and closed firmly at the best point. With regard to the busi ness transacted in wool, at Liverpool, during tie past month, Messrs. Abram, Gartside, and Company state as follows :—" At the public sales, which commenced here on the 2fitir ult., and terminated on the 3d inst., there were offered 9,386 bales East India, 4,398 Peruvian, and 4,501 otter wools. The principal pare found buyers at an advance of Id. per lb. on tb e rates produced at our public sales in June, and equal to the London August series. The general attendance was large, continental buyers being in greater force than usual, and as they purchased very freely we attri bute the maintenance of our present quotations to their competition with the Yorkshire buyers, who came here anticipating a decline in consequence of the falling off in Government orders for the blanket district, where East 'lndia wools are chiefly used. East Indias were all sold at ls. 01d. to ls. 3d. for fine white, 70.. to ls. ; coarse to middling do., 10id. to ls. Old ; fine yellow, 7d. to 10d. ; coarse to middling do., 51d. to 6id. ; unwashed do., 7d. to 91d. ; fine, coloured, 2d. to 3d. ; refuse and burry native yellow, 4d. to 4W. ; native black, 40. to 54d. ; native grey, M. to 3id. Commercial advices from Germany mention that the delegates of the States of ,the Zollverein have assembled at Weimar, and, ;after a long debate, have rejected the proposition brought forward by Prussia to raise the duty on manufactured and leaf tobacco imported into Germany. The proposition intended to reduce the duty on foreign iron has not betn received with unanimity, and the result of their deliberations on this subject has been to retain the law at present in force. During the mreater number of their meetings it has been re 'marked that the members generally sepa rated themselves into two parties —one party who defends the material interests of the com mercial states in the south of Germany, and the other' cambatting for the predominance in the northern States. The consequence is, that very little has been done towards the reform of the cus toms throughout the Zollverein Union by this ranch talked of conference. The accounts from the German bourses are more favourable, especially at Berlin and Vienna ; and the restrictions adopted by the bankers at Frank fort, LeiPsig, and other central commercial towns, to prevent the drainage of silver thalers, has im proved the money markets generally ; while there is also a reduction going on in the quantity of paper money in circulation. The inquiry for discount accommodation in Lombard -street and at the Bank of England is quieter, but the rates are fully maintained. It is thought that if large arrivals of gold were to take Place from Australia, and several vessels are now overdue, the money market would experience some relief) especially as a large exportation to France is 330 7 r going on. About 150,000/. in specie was fozwarded yesterd a y, an d purc h ases are reported tbe made for the Bank of France. The wretched State of affairs in Paris still excites uneasiness, and the private advices give no encourage bleat to the expectation of an early im provement. A cessation of cash payments is still spoken of, but it can scarcely be supposed -that such an extreme measure will be attempted. There is already much distress ; provisions are dear and rents high, which would only be rendered More irksome in the event of that course being adopted. It is questioned whether the recent re strictions will effect the object intended, and others of a more onerous description, it is thought, must be imposed. In some of the other Continental money markets, there is . a slight improvement. At Ramburg much less excitement prevails, and the rate of discount has declined from 9 to about 7i Per cent. The arrangement of the speculative account in Consols has so far passed off satisfactorily, and it 'ls not expected that much, if any, serious embar rassments will result from the transactions of the last month. The losses, which have been heavy, have genera ll y f a ll en on wea lthy parties ; but the outside parties have, no doubt, also suffered. The charge for carrying over has remained at to it Per cent. A. large quantity of stock has been sold by influential parties, but the effect on the market bat not been very important. Consols for money opened at 91a but afterwards declined to 91-1 and they are now about 911 The prices for the 6 th proximo have been 91.3 and since 92! Exehequer Bills are ss. to 10s. premium ; the Bonds 99 ; and East India ditto Bs. to lls. prem. The Foreign Market has also been quiet, and the quotations have slightly improved. Turkish 6 per Cents. have been 97 to 974, and the 4 per Cents. 99k Russian 41 per Cents. rule firm at Obi ; and Sardinian Bonds are 89. Chilian 6 per Cents, have been 104, and Brazilian 4i per Cents. 971 to 98. The following aro the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—.Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6i 7i ; Mexi can, 21i 22/ ; Peruvian, 76 78 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 54 56 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 43 45 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 106 108 ; ditto 41 per Cents., 96 98 ; Spaaith 3 per Cents., 41k ; ditto Deferred, 23 24 1 ; ditto Certificates, 41 ; ditto Passive, 6i. The Railway Share Market is particularly steady, the variation not having exceeded to Some of the principal lines are firmer, but others remain heavy. Very little business, however, has • been transacted, owing to attention being directed to the Conaol settlement. The Northern of France shares are 10s. higher, and the Dutch Rhenish have recovered to 121 The Canadian shares are firmer. Mines, Banks, and Miscellaneous are neglected. London and County Bank shares have been 30i to 31k, being heavy. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. ( rem the Official Li.st.) _ Soon,— dor,. 3 per Cent.

Frederick Charles Fisher, 40, Charlotte-terrace, Islington, an attorney's clerk, was charged before the Lord Mayor with embezzling 171., the property of his employer, Mr. Henry D. Ilderton, an attorney, of Fenchurch-street. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner had been for some time in the prosecutor's employ. On the 2d May the prisoner informed the prosecutor that on the previous day, in his absence, he had received a check for 101. 178., from Mr. Jones, of 17, Poland-street, Oxford-street, which he had paid to prosecutor's ao count at Messrs. Barclay and Co., bankers. At the end of August, when prosecutor's cash book was made up there was no entry on the check for 10/. 175., but the prisoner persisted in saying he had paid it in. Mr. Jones deposed that on the 30th April he paid to prisoner 10/. 175., at the prosecutor's office. He believed he paid the prisoner in notes and cash; prisoner gave him tke receipts produced on receipt of the money. There were other charges against the prisoner of em bezzling small sums of money, paid to him by clients on account of his employer—viz., Harrison, 3/. ; Treron, 30e.; and Phillips, 21.; and in regard to the latter he furnished his master with a receipt that he bad paid it over to another client, which was supposed to be a for gery. The prisoner, who is 26 years of age, was paid 15s. per week wages. The prosecutor intimated his desire of abandoning the other charges ; and, after hearing further evidence, the prisoner was committed on the charge of embezzling 101. 17s. EXTRAORDINAEY CASE.—UTTERING FORGED BANK NOTES.—Richard Crompton Barford, described on the police sheet as a butcher, of 13, Thomas-street, Cam bridge-road, Mile-end, was charged with uttering, on four different occasions, four 51. Bank of England notes. Miss Day, of Fenchurch-street, deposed that she assisted her mother, who keeps a ham and tongue shop in Fenchurch-street. About six weeks since the pri soner came to the shop and purchased a small quantity of ham and beef, and tendered in payment of Is. Bd. a 51. note. Before changing it he asked for a pen and ink, and wrote a name and address on it. Prisoner (a dirty-looking fellow with a white smock) —I always write any name and address on all notes 'I get changed. Witness said she was unable to identify the note from the four produced. About a week or so afterwards he came, had the same quantity of beef, and paid for it bya 5/. note. He repeated the trick on two subsequent occasions, and on each occasion he bad change given to him. She was unable positively to iden tify the notes. Yesterday morning two of the notes that had been paid away were returned as forgeries, ou which she went to the cashbox and took out the other two notes which were also found to be forgeries. Yesterday afternoon the prisoner again called at the shop to purchase some more beef and ham, when she refused to serve him, and told him she had a charge against him for giving her forged notes. He appeared surprised at what she said and replied heknew where be got them. In the meantime an ()Moor was sent for privately, and he Was given into custody of Monis, one of the deteetivw, and police constable 636. The prisoner when he called at the shop used the name of Mr. Pallett a neighbour, and when the prisoner was given into custody she sent for that gentleman. The prisoner, who appeared to take the matter very coolly, declined to question the witness, but said, " She has said nothing but what is the truth. It you give me time I will prove who I had the notes from." The Lord Mayor—You shall have plenty of time for that. I shan't let you go before the case has been folly investigated. Police-constable 636, who apprehended the prisoner, said that when he searched kim he found a 101. note on him, which he had reason to believe was a forgery. No money was found on him. Inspector Sc3tt said the prisoner at the station had said he had the notes at Croydon in payment for some sheep. The prisoner was ultimately remanded. Badness done this day 4j 4 53i 4 3/ London & N.

On the following evening he discovered that the house had been entered, a cistern broken up, and part of it carried away. The thieves got over a hi g h wal l into a yard, and then broke into the house. Charles Abbott, a police-constable, No. 322 K, said he found the stolen lead in the shop of a marine store dealer, named Aun Scofield, in Fore-street, Limehouse. Mrs. Scofield said she sold tobacco, and only bought a few little things. The boys brought in the lead to ht r shop on Saturday night, and said they got it honestly, and it was quite right ; and also said, "Don't be afraid to buy it, Mrs. Scofield." She would not have bought the lead if she (lid not think it was honestly come by. Mr. Yardley—You are thinking of your own defence more than giving evidence properly. The prisoners, in defence, said they saw a boy con cealirg the copper behind a brick wall, and they took it and sold it to Mrs. Scofield, who said, "Put it behind the counter ; make haste, or the policeman will be here. They have taken one boy out of my shop." Tley threw the lead behind the counter by her direction, and left the shop, and went again for the money. She told them to bring all the lead they could. Mr. Yardley—Do you mean to say you robbed the thief ? Burns —Yefi, sir; another boy took the lead out of the house, and we sold it, and because we did not give him his regulars (equal share of the proceeds) he peached upon us, and told the policeman to look after us. An Irishman, named Daniel Donovan, said he was the uncle of the boy Driscott, who had never been in trouble before, and that the old woman Scofiell, of 68, Foie-street, was the ruin of half the boys in Limehmise, for she gave them tobacco, ginger-beer, cigars, and sweetmeats for anything they could bring her. Mr. Yardley was sorry the marine store•dealer had been put into the witness-box. She ought to have been charged as a receiver. Ile directed the policeman if he found any more stolen property in Mrs. Scofield's shop, to take her into custody and charge her as a receivers SOUTIHWARK• IMPUDENT ROBBERY BY A JUVENILE THIEF,---,John Clark, a smart•looking lad, sixteen years of age, was placed at the bar before Mr. Combe, charged with steal ing a rump of beef, weighing thirteen pounds, from the shop of Mr. Barber, butcher, at No. 22, Great Dover road, Southwark. _ . Richard Barber, son of the prosecutor, said that between 7 and 8 o'clock on the previous evening, he was standing a few yards from the shop looking at some musicians, and on turning ronnd he saw the prisoner and another lad near the shop door. The prisoner was coming out with a rump of beef wrapped up in a hand kerchief, when he seized hold of him. The prisoner said " Let me go; I'll not do it again." Witness, however, kept hold of him, and handed him. overto the custody of a police constable. Witness had seen the beef safe near the scales about five minutes before, and it was worth eight shillings. Mr. Combo asked whether anything was known of the prisoner ? Police constable 96 M, who took him into custody, informed his worship that he knew nothing of him, but the manner in which he committed the robbery con vinced him that he was an expert thief. The magistrate asked the prisoner whether he would prefer being tried by him or go to the sessions ? He replied that he would sooner be tried at once and have it all over. He was guilty of stealing the beef. Mr. Combe asked him where his friends resided ? He replied that he should not tell that, as he did not want them to know he was in prison. He had left some time, and got money as well as he could. Mr. Combe asked him what he was going to do with the beef ? The prisoner—Why, eat it, to be sure. What else should I do with it ? Mr. Combe told him that be appeared to be an im pudent young thief, and it was no use wasting time to speak to him. He should sentence him to four months' hard taoour in Wandsworth House The prisoner was then removed by the gaoler laughing, LLOYD'S SHIPPING.--(This Day.) LONDON. Oat.

THE GASWORKS AT WHLTEFRIAES.—Yesterday, at a court of the City Commission of Sewers, a number of police officers gave evidence respecting the effects upon their health of the exhalations, &c., from the gasworks at Whitefriars. Among those examined were Inspectors Saunders and Shelton, Sergeant Knight, police officers Monk, Robinson, &c. The effluvium of the works when the wind blew from the river was described as peculiarly offensive, and productive of sickness and ill-health amoeg the officers on the beat. Some of them had been removed in consequence. Mr. Childs, surgeon to the police force, then gave, from his books, statements relative to the health of the officers during certain periods. and he rip peered to consider that the officers who attended the dis trict in which the gasworks Are situated were not less healthy than those in other metropolitan dititricts ; not, however, he added, that he had any reason to doubt the veracity of the officers who had been examined, and who no doubt properly described the effects produced upon themselves. Mr. Seaward, of Chatham-place, strongly denounced the gasworks as an intolerable nuisance. The houses in the district were falling in value daily, arid would, if the nuisance were not abated, be exempted from respectable occupation. Mr. Gray, on behalf Of the com pany, having stated that a c.neplete answer to the impu tations would be ready in a few days, the chairman of the court said that Mr. Seaward should have notice of the day which the court would appoint for hearing evi dence which Mr. Seaward said he cola bring forward, but he (the chairman) feared that the evidence could not be taken on the day appointed to receive Mr. Gray's counter-statements. The proceedings were then ad journe4. ••• ••. 3} —31 d, •.• 31i - 90 - 92 PREFERENCE SHARRI3. Rlyth anciTyne lope . a. pref. (issd. sant Brio. & Ex. 4 p. a. St Do. 4 p. a. Shares ..

Hurst and Blackett. The title of this work suggests a being isolated and poeu;i3r, set apart from social ties and home retirement, and sti , l is exactly the cans with the subject of these memoirs. He had no fixed place or settled employment ; he possessed few friends, and his intercourse with them was not of that con stant kind which insures a resource, ready and available, in difficulty and distress. He was also tried by the fluctuation of his fortunes—alternatin k poverty and wealth—and again he was left desti tute. It may not be an ordinary instance that is here traced, as far as regards circumstances, but the character of Richard Neville is a natural one. The isolation of his position rendered him careless and indifferent concerning many points which, under happier auspices, would have engrossed his atten tion. When the fortune so unexpectedly bequeathed him placed him in an independent state he did not seek to better hit prospects, or even to guard against their not bei ng i n j ure d b y any c h ance casualties. The same carelessness characterised his intercourse with the two accomplished foreigners whom he met with in the society of Clifton. The unfortunate Marguerite was not to be classed in the same category with the base De La Roche; but they were the cause of great mischief to his reputa tion. • The after life of the supposed Count is 'a striking episode in the story. The way in which he contrived to escape in a coffin from prison is very ingenious, and the horror of the unsuspecting Neville, when he meets in a gaming-house with the man whom he supposes to have seen interred, may be imagined. . The tragic end of the Countess, Neville's first wife, a painful incident, though the event that gave rise to it was not an uncommon one at the period of the Revolution. Ormsby and Emily Hautourale were the truest friends of the wanderer. He could always meet with sympathy from them, but, unhappily, he did not a l ways meet them when in most need of help, and he was averse to looking out for assistance of any sort. This feeling, which was false pride rather than praiseworthy independence, made him a great suf fArer, at one time, when, after a shipwreck, in whi6h he had lost everything, he found himself nearly destitute of the means of living. Ormsby, who would gladly have .befriended him, did not even know that he was not then beyond the seas, as ho had purposed being. It was then that Neville encountered a new trouble in the persecu tion of an old enemy ; and the evil deeds wrought by intolerance and pretended piety are ably exposed in the delineation of the Rev. Josiah Fitzglosa. One of the greatest troubles of the life of N eville was his estrangement from his father. He had left the paternal roof when a boy, in consequence of a quarrel with his father, and had never since been able to find out what had become of him. He was fortunate enough to render a service to a melan choly recluse, and on subsequent acquaintance he discovered him to be his long-lost father. But his pleasure was not of long duration, for the next morning the relative, too late found, was no more. Surprise and excitement had hastened his end. After trying an immense variety of occupations, in several different phases of society, the hero takes leave of his readers with the determination of going abroad on a foreign appointment of considerable importance. He has previously been a member of Parliament, having become this on his return to affluence. The story includes many exciting scenes, amusing anecdotes, and well-sketched personages among its pages. There is almost every shade of gradation from the romantic to the prosaic, the last scion of an ancient line, the wealthy plebeian, the crafty adventurer, the ruined artisan, all com bine to form a contrast, besides the difference ex hibited by the selfish nature and the generous mind, which constitutes the most distinctive and insurmountable barrier of any. Although the career of Neville was not a smooth or sunny one there is much life and vivacity in the detail, and energy of spirit evinced in the description of his experiences. Those who wish for a straightforward style in composition and expression, neither meagre nor over-ornamented, will be satisfied with this work. Stars and Stripes; Or, American Impressions. By Ivan Goloyal. W. Freeman. With a verbal alteration or two, and 'the omis sion of all charge, the item in his lawyer's bill which excited the author's indignation on his re turn to England, may be applied by us to his book. "Receiving letter from you, and not having under stood same ; answering accordingly." For " let ter" read book, and for "answering" wondering, and the thing is done. The strangest spelling, the motliest idioms, everywhere apparent, are infinitely less puzzling than to discover what this free and easy citizen of the world—this half Russian and half Frenchman—would be at. The only conclu sion we can arrive at with any sort of satisfaction is•that, mortally offended with the ascendancy of the Know-nothings; iihO would exclude foreigners from the rights and privileges of American citizen ship, he has kept his resolution " to take it out of them" in abuse of their country. To be sure, ho now and then vindicates the claims of the old country, which might entitle him to our gratitude, were it not evident this is not from regar'd for us, but the better to ventilate his spleen. Now we aro not going to pretend the citizens of the United. States are not fairly chargeable with a good' deal of what he attributes to them—but deeply grieved and' mortified as we are at the in jury they have inflicted and are inflicting on the cause of liberty, we cannot so far outrage common sense as to assent to the author's summary description of them—" Swindlers in the North, Slaveholders in the South, and bor der ruffians in the West, constitute the white po pulation of ' the glorious and great country' which beasts to be the leader of mankind." It may be, as he tells us, that the Union will not last eight years, but if the United States were thus constituted common sense will tell the reader they could not have held together eight months I Swindling, slaveholding, and ruffianism there is in startling abundance, but to no such extent as this. Tue Anglo-Saxon and Norman blood never could so , frightfully degenerate, and the present internal commotion is proof of it. Slavery and the eager pursuit of the "almighty dollar," have, doubt less, been productive of a low level of ceinmer cial and political morality, of much tyranny and fraudulent dealing, but by no means of a state of society to whic the author's description can with propriety be applied. Still, we trust and believe, there are left many millions who have not bowed the knee unto Baal. Notwithstanding this I monstrous exaggeration, the work is by no means i unentertaining. The author's naivete, though now and then provocative of indignation, is gene rally amusing, and some of his impressions bear the stamp of originality. Much as we respect the character of Washington, we are disposed to agree with him in thinking this hero of American independence an over-rated man, just as we believe with him the victories our cousius vaunt over us were no such great matters for boasting. It does not, it must be confessed, take much to make a military demi-god in the States, and provided an enemy be licked, it is of little mo ment to Uncle Sam how. We find him here and there robukingour Transatlantic friends for abusing us, by reminding them of their common origin.• "As to the competition between America and England," ho remarks, "I cannot help laughing at it, for at every step you meet records of the mother country." We Are somewhat grieved, to. learn the Yankees have acquired the bad habit acquired by our army in Flanders, to wit, of " swearing awfully," and this despite their puri tanic observance of " the . Sabbath," which natu rally enough surprises him. He complains of "a general mistrust," everybody suspecting everybody of a design on his purse or entertaining such design. The American ladies do not please him, while the American cookery and sherry cobler to some ex tent do. What he has to say in connection with the fair sex-is pretty much what might be expected from a citizen of the world. One hardly knows whether to laugh or . be "riled" at his illustrative anecdotes, which, without being exactly prurient, are indi cative of au easy morality and a coxcombical con ceit. The following is curious. Penn, we are told, though the founder of the State bearing his name; a State in which imprisonment for debt is un known, was imprisoned in -this country for debt contracted by or for his friends. Life he describes 'as of little account in the States—but living as being expensive, " because nearly everything comes from Europe." America, "it is a fact, is ruled by quite young men. Ago is less respected here than in Europe." This is philosophically accounted for. It is not from want of feeling, but because Ame rica is a young country, and only young men are capable of the- sustained energy its development demands. A comparison instituted between Ame rican slavery and Russian serfdom is said to be in favour of the former, because of the distinction of race. The Union, he believes, will owe its dis solution to slavery. Eight years, however, as affairs aro at present, seems a long lease. "Heads," he tale us, "are as much wanted in America as hands, and an exclusion of incapacities, Irish know-nothings, from voting, rather than the ' exclusion of intelligent foreigners from the rights of citizenship." We do not find much admiration exprtssed fur American laws, nor commendations of the admi n ist ra ti on of them. Hatred to Great Britain is said to be the mainTeason of American sympathy sympathy for the Russians, and "to object to their good feeling towards ie those C.ara at des • answer that Napoleon 111. is still as gra._ a harm. I pot." Otherwise their sympathies are of z they 1?-ss nature, The form adopted for the communi cation of his impressions is that - of letters' to emi nent personages here and abroad.

With all it faults and philosophy the book is worth reading. The Westminster Revicw.—Often as the subjects Of " Alchemy and Alchemists" have been treated, the writer of the opening article has contrived to invest them with considerable interest, if not to contribute much to the common stock of informa tion. "Budhism, Mythical and. Historical," may lie recommended to the perusal of those whose,ideas respecting this form of paganism are of a vague description. The claims of married women to a control over their own property find a ullampiOn in one of the contributors, who adduces a variety of argument and illustration by way of vindication, and meets the various objections offared,.as wears disposed to think with success. " George Forster," a German enthusiast, who, at' a boy with- 4 4ljg father, accompanied Captain Cook in one of his voyages round the world; • is introduced we Suspect for the first time to the reader. One of the German Werati, his fate appears to have been strange and gloomy, though he acquired the love and esteem of men whose affectionate regard was in itself high praise. The rock on which he split was politics. " Edinburgh:Fifty Years Ago," we fancy, will be the most popular article in ,the number. The writer inquires, " Will anybody givens a history of Scotland from the year 1745 to the present time ?" and adduces abundant res eons why such history should be written. Altoge.- ther the article is one which, irrespeptive of the galaxy of literary stars which it causes again' to flit before us, is Well deserving of a thoughtful peruse. "Silly Novels by Silly Women" is, as• its title would imply, a pitiless dissection, if not butchery,: which doubtless will stir up much indignation in some circles. " France before the Revolution of 'B9" is au able review of the work par Alexis d,e- Talueville. The opinion of the reviewer may be gath'ered from the conclusion : " All men-who - love truth must earnestly wish that the author may, be able to finish his work." ." Emerson's Eng lish Traits" meets with a favourable reception. "Ho has given us a book," we are told, " from which we may learn many things—much about ourselveo, about what we' hair() and about what we have not, and, still more from which we may learn that the nobleness of spirit which gives praise as well as blame where it is due, may be relied on as etistiog across the Atlantic." Again—" With all its faults of exagi;bration and indefinite aim it is a book we most heartily welcome, glad to read our- selves in a picture drawn by a skilful artist, and still more glad to have so much friendliness ayd, generosity displayLd towards us by an American. -It is a book which will, we feel sure, do good on both sides the Atlantic, and .tend to promote that cordial understanding between all . sections of the Anglo-b'axou race, on which . , in these days of des4,,. potism•and confusion, the welfare of mankind so largely depends." High, but not wholly unme-: rited, praise: As usual, the space devoted to con temporary literature claims, and to a certain extent will reward, the reader's attention. TIIE MONETARY CRISIS IN The Times correspondent (second edition) thus speaks of the crisis at present existingia Paris , "It is unfortunate that the financial crisis which now preVails had not been foreseen and provided for. Igno rance can hardly be pleaded, for I believe timely Warning was given by competent persons. The premiumnn specie is now so high as to almost banish it altogether from cir culation, as it cannot be received but at the legal value, It is calcUlated that during the last five years about 1,200,000,000 francs in silver have left the country, while not more than 700,000,000 f. have entered. If this calculation be correct, Franca has lost within that period 500,000,000 f. of its silver coinale, and has ye-, ceived double that amount in gold. The . result is the greatest inconvenience in commercial transactions gene. rally, and particularly in the manufacturing districts,: where silver is indispensable for the payment of wages to the working classes. In truth, silver can hardly be found anywhere. 20f. and 101. pieces in gold are only. , to be had, and 5f., 2f., if., and 50c. pieces }Lave nearly . disappeared. The exportation of that metal, is the more rapid that France export., comparatively speak: ing, but a small amount of manufactured produce, and is conequently obliged to pay foreign merchandise in specie. This is one of the consequences of the vicious system of 'her custom-houses, which the Gevern*nt seems of aid to' touch. It is evident that, if the mann.; factoring products of this country could be sold _at a relatively low price to the United... States, she c . s.e.3d them instead of the Prccious rnetali is exchange for.

When it wati &seer-. tamed that the harvest of 1855 was deficient the Moa,i leer announced that the Gdvernrnent had icsolved to . leare to private commerce to supply that deficiency, Full cnnfidence was at first reposed in that declara- , tine ; tut it was remarked that in the month of May or April enormous sales of ft , ,nr and of wheat began to take place at liavre, through the agency of a well-known helve in Paris, and on account of parties whose r:atnes, it is said, were carefully concealed. A. fail, of course, rapidly ensued ; the trade took alaru, and many who had kept their stock in expectation' of a r'se were forced to sell at less than the first cost of the article. The result was an enormous loss. It was affirmed at the time that the mysterious party on whose account these large sales- were effected was the Government, notwithstanding.. the announcement in the iff onPeur. Immense quan tities of flour and wheat wore purchased in the United States, which naturally produced a greater rise than if private traders bought on their own account, and then sold in France, for the purpose of keeping down the rn:irket. It was calculated that this operation was at tended with a loss to the Treasury of about 12,000,000 f., with the additional disadvantav of preventing the regu lar traders in the ports of the nor&li of France from unddraking these operations, fearful, as they must be, of again encountering so formidable a competition. (Prose the Univers.) . The financial crisis with which we are menaced does not sui:prise us ; it is the natural consequence of th i ex azgeration of credit. It is evic:ant that when we borrow, this time for payment must come, sooner or later ; a per- Fetual credit is a palpable contradiction. Stock Ex change matters go on fora time, and then comes the day fur a settlement. It is then that Oa scaff.dding of 001- is:i speculations crumbles to the ground ; bankruptcy' succeeds bankruptcy, a Mass of shares ate thrown on the market, the value of securities slepreciated,.&e., &e. The dead are then buried, the wounded' attended to, and the game recommences on the 'thorrevi,with re newed .vigour.
