Even the most orthodox worshippers of Mammon are beginning to feel that the _Directors have hoeu P l aying to,) I fine a gceme, and that the whole sybtera id en_ dangered by their too eager pursuit of a rate of interest, which, under the most favourable cir cumstances, must lead to very considerable diffi culties amongst those engaged in industrial pur suits ; deprive the manufacturing and commercial interests of their legitimate profits, and throw thousands and tens of thousands of persons, able and willing to work, out of employment. Even the Times itself has confessed the fearful conse quences of too high a rate of interest, which it candidly acknowledges to be a " national dis sster" of no ordinary magnitude. It is only the - ninor fry who dare to assert that a " high pre mium for the use of honoured capital" is a symptom that " the rate of profit is high (!), that trading is prosperous (! 0, that the coun try is rapidly advancing in wealth" (! !I) That " the capital necessary to its prospe rity is in great demand" is unfortunately but too certain. But if those who force up their money to a famine price can be justified, then are ,he 60-per-cent. gentry the greatest national benefactors, entitled to the thanks and gratitude •f the People. It is, however, scarcely necessary to answer the (lieu brations of a person who puts forward such extraordinary opinions, manifestly viewing every liing through a distorted medium. It is quite 4ufficient to deal with the more rational supporters ,f a Moneyocracy—those who admit the grievance, 'ut affect to deplore its necessity (?) Now, as ve pointed out on Monday, the resolutions ,dopted at the Bank parlour on the 13th instant ccasioned " considerable surprise" and serious ipprehension in the money market. It was sup posed that the Directors, who had later and more authentic information than was available to the community at large, must have had solid founda ion for such a change—that there must be some generally-unforeseen danger "looming in the 'uture," and that, even under the most :avourable circumstances, the drain of bullion oust be continuing, and to a greater extent than Ise public had any accurate knowledge of. It now, however, appears, "on the infallibLl evidence of their own accounts," that the strin ,ent measure of restriction " was wholly uncalled and that all the risk and inconvenience to he commercial world might have been averted vithout the slightest danger." The Times says hat " the majority of prirdent persons do not join in that opinion." The simple fact, however, hat from returns published on the following day 't appeared that there had been within the week tn addition to the bullion in both departments of 'lore than 150,0001., that there had, in like nanner, been an increase to the Bank Reserve, or Notes Unemployed," of 456,3801., while the " Active Circulation" within a fortnight had been . educed by more than 600,0001., proved, beyond he possibility of doubt, that there was no palp able justification for the measure. And the het that large importations of gold were daily :xpected from Australia rendered the step the [Lore objectionable, proving beyond the pos obility of doubt that those by whom it was kdopted cannot safely be entrusted with the ostrol and management of an instrument so telicate, the operations whereof are of such vital importance to the welfare and prosperity of • fie people, as the circulating medium of the nun try. It is, perhaps, fortunate that the relations I etween the nation and the quasi national Bank •,vere not disposed of last session. The full extent if the grievance was not then thoroughly under stood. The screw had not been applied with all is stringency, and legislation might have taken place on insuffi.cient data. The Bauk Charter has virtually terminated. It only requires the requi •ite notice and payment of the Government debt to the Bank to get rid of the incubus, to remove the "Old Lady of Threadneedle-street," worse than " the Old Man of the Sea," celebrated in the narrative of the' veracious SINBAD, from our shoulders. We want a really national lank and really national 1/. notes. As a private trading corporation the Bank will realise large profits for the proprietors of stock, and have no cause to regret the cessation of a connection by no means profitable, as will appear from a comparison of its gains with those of other bank ing establishments unconnected with Govern. ment. They could not complain, and the people would have ample cause to rejoice at the issue of notes of small denominations, which, being gua rantee-;) by and secured not only by all the pro perty of the nation, but also by its industry, and bfAng receivable in payment of every public bur , den, could never be depreciated, and would answer all domestic purposes. With an adequate 'upply of such a measure and representative of value the fluctuations in the price of money, or rate of interest, for they are synonymous, would be avoided, and men might engage in manufac turing or commercial pursuits without encounter ing gambling risks, whioh, while they may bring gigantic fortunes to a few, must eventuate in em• barrassment, if not ruin, to the majority of well-meaning speculators. The excellent "CracouoT" is making his ap pearance in a new character. " The Angel of Peace" is likely to disturb the tranquillity of Europe ! He is putting forward untenable claims against the independence of Neuchatel, and, of course, the integrity of the Swiss Confederation. That such a demand can be pressed without pro., clueing a general convulsion is utteriy e; but what signifies it to FREDERICK if he can derive any profit from the transaction, or )btain a makeweight to restore tbe prestige forfeited by his conduct during the late war, and the influence that also de parted freem his House. Thee° are clearly not the times to put forward obsolete claims, or to stand upon " the Divine right," now so gene. rally ignored by all the Peoples of the world, and only recognised by a few despots, engaged, like Mrs. PARTINGTON, in the vain attempt of sweep ing back the sea of democracy with useless brooms. But yet Prussia, for her own private purpose; or what she is pleased to represent as " the interests of Germany" and of legitimacy, strives to agitate the question, and to cast a fire brand into E uro p ean soc i e ty. Th e S w i ss will not nay, more, they cannot—yield ; and their forefathers have already taught salutary lessons to crowned despots as to the danger of tampering with, or striving to under mine, the right s o f a really free people. The real question lies in a nut-shell. During the last century the then King of Prussia con trived to establish a Very doubtful eueh a t c e l l a . i m u to w t he allegiance of the p eople of N euc h atel however, " an outlying estate," on which no great store was set, and during the • time when the atm. of the Great NAPOLEON was in the ascendant WiiS rea 4l .ily surrendered by the ostensible owner, and bestowed as a reward on a French General. It did not, however, long remain under the BEE THUM" dynasty. In 1814 it was restored to Prussia, and in 1815 became a canton of the S R i s , Confederation, certain purely nominal rights bei ng reserved to Prussia. These rights, although utterly valueless, were got rid of eight years a go, and the Government of Berlin ever since a o . quiesced in the altered state of affairs. The Neu chatalese were Republicans. That was the esta blished state of affairs, and any attempt to disturb it was neither more nor less than an attempt at insurrection. The title of the de facto Government was at least as good as that by which Louis NArorxoN founds his claim to the imperial diadem ; and he, at least, cannot permit any im peachment of their authority. We have already explained the futile attempt at revolution by a few reckless royalists who set up the Prussian standard, without the slightest chance of obtaining popular support. The ring leaders were made prisoners, and although we should regret to see the infliction of severe punishment for merely political offences, it cannot be asserted that, according to the code of any nation, they have not become amenable to the extreme penalty of the law, whatever it may be. But Prussia has attempted to demand their liberation as a matter of right, and to found on these abortive attempts the restoration of claims, either obsolete or long since abandoned : and this untoward demand was, as we have shown, put forward at the most in opportune time. No alternative remained. The Swiss authorities could not yield I Although hey would probably h ave l e t o ff th e o ff en d ers 'with comparative impunity, they could not recog nise the grounds on which it was insisted. The doing so would compromise their own rights. and lot in the sharp end of a wedge which would speedily be driven much further. We trust, then, that this purely gratuitous and unwarrantable attempt to disturb the tranquillity of Europe may be treated as it deserves, and that the attitude assumed by the Western Powers may teach Prussia the magnitude of the danger she is provoking, and the risk of recklessly putting for ward such frivolous aid untenable claims. Once more we would draw attention to the Drainage of the Metropolis. Now is the time for insuring the adoption of a comprehensive and thoroughly satisfactory plan ; and if it is allowed to pass unimproved the population of and below Woolwich will have themselves mainly to thank for the consequences. That these will be prejudicial to health we have no manner of doubt, any more than we have as to the injustice of emptying, in effect, the filth of London before their homesteads. The sewage certainly ought, in reason and justice, to be carried to Sea Reach; and all parties likely to be benefited thereby should hold themselves prepared to pay a fair quota of the expense. The Drainage Question may now be considered as limited to a mere money question. The Metropolitan Board are prepared to carry out the sewage to Sea Reach if the money over and above what is necessary to carry it to Erith is forthcoming, and apparently on no other terms. We won't now insist on the viciousness of an argument, which has no sanction in mo rality, and is professedly based on an Act of Par liament. Right or wrong, the Metropolitan Board seem prepared, should the additional outlay not be forthcoming, " to pitch their slugs into their neighbours' garden." The duty of the population who stand in this relation to the Board obviously, therefore, is to " move heaven and earth" until the money be forthcoming. It is a serious matter for them, and they had better look to it, to the exclusion even of more palatable business. Go vernment, under all the circumstances, is morally bound to " come out handsome" towards the accomplishment of an object in which they have, in addition, a personal and an official interest. Every effort should be made by the friends of sanitary reform, and others interested in the wel fare of the leas informed portion of the popula tion, to enlighten them as to the impending dan ger, and arouse them to decided action in, order to its prevention. We say this in the interests of the Londoner as well as of the population to which it is addressed ; for we are by no means prepared to say the discharge of the sewage at Erith will rid the metropolis entirely of the giant evil under which it now groans. Cold-blooded seliishness may pass fra wisdom ; but in its issue, its in its essence, it in most cases turns out sheer folly. In another part of our present impression will be found a pleasing Report of the Annual Meet ing of the Birmingham Institution for the Relief of Deafness. The Institution, it will be seen, is in a prosperous condition financially, and in the amount of good it is doing to the patients under its care. Of the latter fact, the former may be regarded as the legitimate corollary—for unless relief were actually afforded the Institution would not, as we may fairly presume, meet with the sup. port it does. The fact is the Institution is fortunate in having for its surgeon an accomplished aurist, who, to the palm of unsurpassed skill, adds the merit of being an unpaid and most indefatigable and devoted philanthropist, never weary in ' 6 . 1 10 discharge of the duties of his respons o l e p os i Lion ; and managers who, like NU L -. MASON, do their utmost to extend its be refits as far as the means at t heir disposal will admit. Philanthropic efforts like these are 0, -,serving of the utmost con sideration, and we Trust the I ns tit u ti on, successful supported by the p u bli c h enceforth a m s o i r t e is ge w n: i d li h' rou e generously—in other words, in a manner more proportionate to its deserts and the number of those who need its aid, which are F:,ceat. Other large towns would do well by fol lowing so praiseworthy an example. THE SUN, LONDON,_ WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBEk 26, v R 56 ME DUCHESS OF ATHOL —The Duke of Athol, in writing to a contemporary, says :—You will oblige me by contradicting the report (published in some of the London papers), that " the Duchess of Athol has been received into the Roman Catholic Church within the last few days by the Very Rev. Dr. Manning," as there is not the slightest foundation for such a statement. - - Mr. John Goss, organist of St. Paul's Cathedral, has been appointed composer to her Majcaty's Chapel R)yal, St. James's, in the room of Mr. W. Knyvett, deceased. A horse that was in the famous cavalry charge at Balaklava now runs in a Southampton omnibus. If it hears the sound of a gun it starts off, and there is the greatest difficulty in reigning it in. No appointment of a vice-president of Education will take place until Parliament is about to meet, neither will any arrangement be finally made as regards maintaining the Board of Health as a separate department, or trans teiring it to the Home -office. Thackeray says, "We do not travel nowadays ; we arrive at places ;" and Ruskin, in his late volume, says, " Railway travelling is not travelling at all ; it is , nerely being sent to a place, and very little different from becoming a parcel." ACCIDENT TO PROFESSOR ANDERSON.—lntelligence was current amongst theatrical people last evening that .he Wizard of the North has bad his right band irreco verably shattered by the bursting of a pistol during the performance of some of his tricks of legerdemain at Liverpool. Australian gold to the amount'of 150,000/. was sold to the Bank yesterday in addition to the 180,0101. delivered ,n Monday. Out of the 1,300,0001. brought by the James Baines and the Lightning the Bank have thus received 460,0001., and the total may yet probably be increased by a further moderate sum. The weekly reviews of the Amsterdam and Rotterdam produce-markets state that with a moderate business prices continued to be well supported. In coffee and sugar the operations had not been very extensive, and there was little tendency to speculation. The letters from Rouen mention that the market for manufactured sas quiet, the attendance of buyers being limited. REPRESENTATION OP EAST SUPFOLK.—We alluded in 'ur last Journal to a rumour that Lord Henniker (Con 4ervative) would be called upon again to offer himself to the eldctors as a candidate to represent Est Suffolk in Parliament. What was then uncertain has now become an accomplished fact. His lordship is in the field.— Ipswich. Journal. The amateurs who played for the Patriotic and Cri mean funds last season, and those who performed a month since before her Majesty, are to give a dramatic performance, on Friday, Dec. 5, the proceeds to be de voted to the relief of destitution in the metropolis during he winter season. The bux plan will be kept at Mr. S'am's royal library, St. James's -street. HER MAJESTY'S SHIP DRIVER. —We ( Waterford Wail) are glad to perceive, by the arrival of the aoove war steamer in our river, that the frequent and earnest requests made on the part of the corporation to the Ad airalty, to have our port considered a naval station, have been again attended with good effect. The Driver mounts six large guns, and is manned by about 200 men. A. SLIGHT DIFFERENCE —The telegraphic operator of Vera Cruz, on the arrival of the bark Pegasus, on the Ist of October, telegraphed to the city of Mexico the astounding intelligence of the failure of the Bank of Eng land. He fancied that the Royal British Bank could be QO other than the great national banking institution of the British people.—American paper. THE ERITH MURDER.—Yesterday afternoon, Mr. superintendent Mallalieu, in order still more closely to 3onnect Worrell with the murder of George Carter, issued placards giving a description of Worrell, with the view of discovering the cabman by whom be is sup posed to have been driven from the London-bridge (North Kent) railway station to Kennington, between four and five o'clock on Friday, the 7th inst.

The relatives of the crew, seven in number, consequently became alarmed. Yesterday, however, news reached Southamp ton that the Clara was at Brovershaven, on the coast of Holland. She has no doubt been driven on that coast by the recent prevailing high winds. CITY COMMISSION OF SEWERS.—At a court held by the City Commissioners of Sewers yesterday, Mr. Turn bull, Mr. Smith, and several inhabitants of the Tower Ward, called attention to the inconvenient narrowness of Lower Thames -street, towards Tower-hill, and the great amount of cart and waggon traffic there. They observed that some premises in the street were now about to be rebuilt, which offered a favourable opportu nity for abating the nuisance by widening the thorough. fare. The matter was ordered to be considered at the next court. TESTIMONIAL TO ANDREW ARCEDECKNE, ESQ.—On Tuesday last the committee appointed to carry out the wishes of the subscribers met at the White Hart Inn, Wickham Market, whence they proceeded to Glevering Hall. Here the Rev. G. T. Turner, the chairman, in a short but appropriate speech, had the honour of handing to the High-Sheriff a pair of massive silver claret jugs, bearing the following inscription :—" Presented to An drew Arcedeckne, Esq., High Sheriff of Suffolk, as a oken of the high esteem in which he is held by his friends and neighbours." It is wor thy o f mention that every subscription was entirely unsolicited, Essex Herald. GAIM. AT LIVERPOOL.—LrnorooL, Tuesday. —lt blew a 0!..1e last night from north to north-north-west, during which the John Haven, for Calcutta, and the Heidel- Cerg, from New Orleans, at anchor in the river, drove From their anchorage and got into collision. The John Haven lost rnaintopgallant mast and had her starboard quarter damaged, and subsequently drove on shore near the Woodside pier, but was assisted off this morning's tide. The Heidelberg's anchors got foul of the Woodside moorings, and she had to ship them to enable her to go into dock. The ferry steamer Wirral ran into a schooner last night, and carried away the latter's bowsprit, figure head, Ac. The statement that the ship S. M.

The sum of 3271. was announced to have been already sub scribed by the medical officers in Turkey and the Crimea; but as the majority of officers of the department who may wish also to support the undertaking have not yet had an opportunity of subscribing their names, and as a further sum is necessary to enable the committee to carry morning, an A a lt u il i n u ll u Ct id ev en te tp g THE GERMANS."—On the design proposed, subscriptions will be received by Messrs.

Jullien's promenade concert. Miss May has a pleasing ♦oice, of tight awl youthful quality, and of exact intonation, but hardly capable, it would seem, of any very powerful effrrt. Her style is neat and finished, but not suffi. ciently dramatic for such displays as the "In questo semplice" of Donizetti, which demands a liveliness and sod point, the result no less of extreme self-possession than of fresh and genial impulse. Though the delivery of Miss May was somewhat tame and mechanical, the public insisted upon an encore. She was announced to sing in the second part the " Ernani involami" of Verdi; but of her capacity to deal with the musics of thi s bravura school we must take some other opportttnity of speaking.

The present state of the Government here must be looked upon as entirely provisional. The late Ministry has left a very unpleasant legacy to its successors. By its vacillating conduct, its dubious policy, and its contradic tory assurances, the questions of Bolgrad and the Serpents' Island, the final evacution of the Ot toman territory, and the re-organisation of the Principalities have been considerably aggravated. Indeed, the hopeless confusion into which they had thrown all these questions, and the manner in which they had compromised themselves by it, were the main cause of their fall. Redschid Pasha's first care will be to settle the pending questions, and thus pave the way for his administration. Something has already been done towards this. Every day since his accession Mi nisterial Councils have been held, and what is more they led to a resolution, a result which has been rather out of fashion in Turkish Ministerial Councils of late. Redschid Pasha goes further back than the treaty of Paris for the solution of the disputed points. He starts from the Vienna Conferences, which laid down the basis of the treaty. These bases are laid down by England, France, and Austria without the concurrence, and one might almost say without the knowledge, of Turkey. In these Conferences it was assumed that Turkey and Russia were the principal parties concerned, and the three Powers, by laying down the conditions which they thought necessary for the raaintenance of the integrity and indepen dence of Turkey, made themselves, in the name of Europe, arbitrators of the struggle between Turkey and Russia. Turkey, by accepting these bases for a pacification, recognised this arbitration and placed thus her fate in the hands of these three Powers. The treaty of the 15th of April, in which these same three Powers pledged themselves to maintain the integrity and independence of Turkey, recognised by the treaty of the 30bh of March, was nothing more than a corollary and confirmation of the posi tion assumed by the Allies from the beginning. Turkey, then, for her part proposes to refer the disputed points to the decision of these three Powers to whom she has already once before sub mitted her fate. With this view she consents that the disputed questions should be settled in the Paris Conferences ; but neither of the parties im mediately concerned, nor those who took only a secondary part in the Eastern question, should take part in the decision. A proof that the Turks fully appreciate the value of Bolgrad may be found in the circumstance that the attempts made lately to induce them to give up Bolgrad for a compensation have utterly failed. It was proposed to Redschid Pasha to annex the whole Delta of the Danube, together with the Ser pents' Island, not to Moldavia, but to Turkey Pro per, if the latter consented to give up Bolgrad. The answer was a polite refusal. No positive answers have been as yet given to the proposal of the Porte. The telegraph is, how ever, busy in carrying questions and explanatory answers between this and Paris and London. By the aid of it a solution, one way or another, may be soon expected. Yesterday morning the American sailing corvette Constellation, 21, came into the Golden Horn, and exchanged her salute with the batteries of Topkhane. The appearance of a man-of-war not belonging to the allies caused rather an excitement, especially as the first report had enlarged her into a 60-gun frigate, for how could a Russian man-of war be excluded from the Dardanelles if the straits were not closed to an American? but she belongs to the class of smaller vessels which have always received the permission to come up even in times of peace for an occasional visit. THE GERMAN DIET. In the sitting of the German Diet of the 20th inst. the Governments of Austria, Prussia, Ba varia, and Baden notified to the Assembly that, in execution of the resolution of the 6th inst. relative to the affair of Neuchatel, they had forwarded in structions to their diplomatic agents accredited to the Swiss Confederation couched in the sense of that resolution. FRANCE. PARIS, TUESDAY. The Emperor yesterday received at the Palace of St. Cloud Count William of Wurtemberg, cousin german of the King of Wurtemberg. The Count was presented by Baron de Wachter, the Wurtem berg Minister. BOVRSE, Nov. 24.—The market was at first heavy, but suddenly rallied, and acquired a degree of firmness.

The report that Prince Gortschakoff had issued another circular relative to the pending questions is in some measure confirmed by the following letter, dated Berlin, Nov. 21, addressed to the Frankfurter Zeitung : " Prince Gortschakoff has sent a new circular to the diplomatic agents of Russia abroad. This document alludes chiefly to the actual state of affairs, and criticises severely the attitude assumed by Austria and England as regards the execution of the treaty of peace. Although the question as to whom the Island of Serpents shall belong in future is at least doubtful, Russia is nevertheless ready to cede on this point to the demands of England and of Austria. " As regards the possession of Bolgrad, themore important question of the two, Russia declines pronouncing a decision alone, and on this point invokes the decision in common of all who signed the Treaty of Paris. More cannot be asked of Russia, but Austria and England have opposed insurmountable obstacles to this decision, and con sequently things remain in suspense. " Such is the sense of this circular." A letter dated St. Petersburg, Nov. 16, says— " The fact of a shot having been fired from the fort at Yenikale upon an English vessel of war has caused some sensation in our official world ; 'the heads of our commercial houses, who have branch establish ments in the towns of the Sea of Azoff, after the experience of the sad events which occurred there in 1855, show some anxiety respecting the many commercial interests engaged there since the peace. .No one here doubts that the Russian Commander was perfectly justified in preventing the English vessel from entering the Sea of Azoff to prevent the capture of ships engaged in smuggling." A letter from St. Petersburg of Nov. 15, pub lished by the Halms Correspondence, which never wittingly circulates any news disagreeable to the French Government, says " In a report addressed to the military chancery by du r i a o last the few Prince Bariatzinsk i, the commander-in-chief o f th e pro vinces of the Caucasus , most favourable accounts are given stores of t of hefortified kindst howanrse and been, establishments coast of the Caspian Sea. Immense quantities of mili tary m onths, sent from Astrakan to Derbeud by the 'Volga, and this immense materiel may be turned to account, when time shall nerve, - the corps d'armee, which as it is thought, is destinedt o succour the Shah of Per,ia, our ally, in the probable case of his territory being invaded by an English expedilii.uarY army. Rue sia, whatever may happen , w ig not be taken by surprise in those distant cottntries. it is known that General Churlew one of the most intrepid defen ders 41 F3eimteri, has been appointed by the Einperor COM- P:under of the corps d'arrn6e Echeloned between Baka a.,d E:ivan, in the Immediate neighbourhood of the Persian frontier. Many people at St. Petersburg think that this fiery general, with all his forces, may very likely get to Herat before the English, who are expected to disembark at Bushir, shall be in line of battle. The opinion gains ground in military circles that if the Eng lish Government should really carry its plan into execu tion, events will compel us to interfere with all the power which, thanks to the activity of our generals, we can dispose of in Asia. "However, it will be scarcely possible for ns to pre• vent the :English from effecting a landing upon the two principal islands of the Persian Gulf, nor from installing themselves in the town of Bushir, They will amass them to their possessions itl, India, in the sates tesinner and under the same pretexts as they did in the case o A den, in the Red Sea." Several German journals have spoken of repre sentations said to have been made by Russia at Vienna and Berlin on behalf of Denmark, in the affair of the Duchies. The _Hanover Gazette de clares its ability to pronounce this statement incor rect. Russia has not interfered directly in the matter ; neither has France offered its mediation, as has been similarly affirmed. The New Prussian Gazette states that attempts are being made at present to navigate the Dniester by means of steamers, in order to convey corn to Odessa, but great doubts are entertained as to the successful result of the undertaking. NEUCHATEL. With respect to the Neuchatel affair the Swiss Government are preparing for the worst. The following details of the force which, in defence of the territory, it could bring into action are, under present circumstances, interesting. The staff of the Helvetic army comprises 40 Federal colonels (generals of division), 43 Federal lieutenant-colonels (generals of brigade), and a proportionate number of other officers. The title of General is only given to the Federal Colonel, the Commander-in-Chief of the army. The effective strength of the troops is thus com posed : Engineers 2,090 men. Artillery Cavalry ........... 3,008 ~ Riflemen Infantry 130,631 „ Medical staff, or service de santd Total 162,943 men, and 700 guns. The Federal Government, moreover, can, in case of war, call out the cantonal troops, consisting of upwards of 40,009 men, and would probably recall the 12,000 Swiss who form the nucleus of the army of the King of Naples. In fact Switzerland can put on foot a force of about 214,000 men. NAPLES., A letter from Berlin, dated Nov. 20, in the Hamburg Gazette, says :—" It is affirmed that the Neapolitan Government has addressed to Prussia (in reply to representations made by the Prussian ambassador at Naples, with a view to a reconcilia tion) a memorandum, which has also been commu nicated to the other Cabinets, and which is looked upon by the Cabinets of Paris and of London as a step towards concession. "The Neapolitan Government endeavours to decline the responsibility of the conflict, by proving that it is not the Naples Cabinet which is unwilling to a reconciliation, but that it arises from the con ditions hitherto asked not being equitable. " The memorandum dwells particularly upon the moderation and conciliatory sentiments of Ihe King, and mentions as a proof that His Majesty thinks the moment has arrived when the Neapoli tan Government, without compromising its dignity, may consent to equitable demands of the Western Powers?' Accounts from Naples of the 20th state that a treaty of commerce with the United States has been promulgated. A general revision of the cus toms tariff was talked of. The King was still at Gaeta. Recruiting for the Neapolitan army is taking place on a very extensive scale in Switzerland. The King proposes, it is reported, to increase his fo reign troops up to the number of 20,000 men, and reduce the native forces. A despatch from Rome, dated the 20t1 , says new propositions have been made to the Government for a railway between Rume and Naples and Rome and Florence, which are likely to be acceptable. SPAIN. MADRID, Nov. 22. The Gazette publishes the statement of the Inde pendence Beige, that Lord Howden had asked the governm eut for explanations as to the political course it intended to pursue. The Madrid jou rna l s o f th e 20th s t a t e th a t a t th e reception held by the Queen, on the occasion of her fete, O'Donnell and his colleagues in his cabi net—M. Rios Roses, M. Coiled°, M. Pastor Diaz, and M. Salaverria—were present as were also all the notabilities of t h e moderado ' party. At Malaga the garrison had been reinforced by 500 men. On their arrival the military, comman der passed them in review, an d i n a speech praised the garrison for its conduct in the recent insurrection, and exhorted them to imitate it, if necessary. He added that he was determined to maintain order at every cost, and that before the throne should be placed in danger the insurgents would have to pass over his coryle. He then cried "Long live the Queen !" and the cry, according to the Gazette, was repeated with enthusiasm by the troops. Great precautions had been taken in the town for the preservation of order, and all the po pulation had been disarmed. Numerous arrests had been and were being effected. The court mar tial had condemned nine insurgents to death, and it was believed that the same fate awaited others. None of the soldiers and insurgents wounded in the fight bad died, but the wounds of one soldier and of several of the insurgents were serious. The Epoca says that when the news of the rising at Malaga reached Granada there were indications that a revolt was imminent ; but the authorities by their energy prevented an outbreak, and they afterwards sent word to the Government that they would answer for the maintenance of order. Le Nord publishes a long state document from the Greek Ministry of Finance, dated last July, giving an exposition sufficiently flattering of the state of Greece political, financial, and social. It is addressed to M. Tricoupi, to be laid before the English Government. The Duke cl'Ossuna, Grandee of Spain, after passing a few days at Brussels, has left that city for St. Petersburg, charged with a special mission fropi the Queen of Spain to the Emperor of Russia. Queen Christina arrived at Genoa on the 18th from Marseilles , under the incognito of Countess of Quinto. After :visiting tho most remarkable parts of the city, she re•embarked the same even ing for Civita Vecchia. The Queen of Holland arrived at Hanover in tho evening of the 21st, and was received by the King an d Queen at the station. After supping at the palace, her Majesty left in the night to continue her journey to Holland. THE ARREST, IN BERLIA, OF MR. MORRIS MOORE, Off LOSDON—Ins LIBERATION. (From the Morning Advertiser.) We have received a -letter from Mr. Morris Moore, the fine arts connoisseur, of Soho-square, whose arrest on F r id a y l as t, b y th e Government authorities of Berlin, we announced in our impres sion of yesterday. r. Morris Moore, in his com munication to us. dated " Berlin, Sunday even ing," calls our attention to the following paragraph from the Yolks Zeitung of that capital, published on the previous day : "The well-known English connoisseur, Mr. Morris Moore, has been staying here for the last month, with a view to examine the works of art in the Prussian museums, and to put himQelf in personal connection with our notabilities. We are informed that last night an unexpected search was made in Mr. Morris Moor's apartments by the police, and that Mr. Morris Moore himself was confined at the presidency of police, whence he was not released until one o'clock p.m. this day. It has transpired that the suspicion of his having political schemes here was altogether un founded." To this Mr. Morris Moore adds :—" The above is correct as far as it goes, but others, and some high in position in England, are beneath. The conduct of the police was outrageous, but that of the British Ambassador, Lord Blomfield, worse. It is now five o'clock, Sunday evening : the police have not yet brought back my effects. They kept possession of my apartments from ten o'clock on Friday evening until two o'clock p.m. of the fol lowing day (yesterday). While in possession they ordered that any letters that might arrive for me were to be brought up to them, and that visitors were to be inveigled up as tk Nigh I had been at home. They laid in wai t to see who they could pounce upon. You may expect to receive more particulars from me to-morrow, Just now I have barely time to catch the post." ENGLIGH AND IRISH MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY. LIVERPOOL, Nov. 25.—A meeting of the sharelAders was held in Liverpool to-day, Mr. J. C.

They were to the following effect :—That an act of Parliament be applied tor, if necessary, for the amalgamation and union of both companies, to date from the Ist January, 1857 ; that for three years the share capital of the Mag netic shall draw, as a charge on the net profits, a divi dend of 5 per cent., and after the British Telegraph shall d ra w a dividend not exceeding 4 per cent. for the first y e sr, 4, 2 for the second, and 5 for the third, the balance to be divided between the companies ; and after the third yea r an equality to be arr ange d ; th e chief officers and ve ntral management to be at Liverpool. On the propo sition of the chairman, seconded by Mr. C. Jones, these teral p were adopted. TBE AEFM:SENTATION OF SoUTHA SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY EVENING. The meeting of Liberal electors in St. Mary's, to which we referred yesterday, was held last night at $ o'clock at the Castle Hotel, in Bevois-street. Neither of the candidates was present, but their several claims and pretensions to the honour of representing the bi,rough were warmly advocated by their respective supporters. A resolution recommending Mr. Wtguelin to the suffrages of the Liberal electors was propo•+ed, to which an amendment of a like character in favour of Mr. James was moved. A third proposition, deferring any ecisi , •;n till after the general public meeting this even ing, was submitted, and ultimately adopted, both the others being withdrawn. Two or three squibs have been issued during the day in reference to this evening's meeting, the one side calling upon the electors to have nothing to do with a "place-hunting and clap-trap lawyer," and the other exhorting them not to have "a half Russian" to repre sent them, and not to disgrace themselves " by bowing down before the money-bags of a Russian merobant." The most intense excitement prevails, and to•night'e meeting is expected to be a very long and stormy one. Six O'CLocK. Mr. Edwin James and Mr. Weguelin I;;;ejustariived from London.

The great meeting at the Riding-school has just ter minated ; 4,000 or 5,000 persons were present; tremen dous excitement prevailed. Mr. Alderman Dusaty pre sided. Mr. Weguelin and Mr. James severally addressed the meeting amid great uproar. Mr. E. Dixon moved a resolution in favour of Mr. Weguelin, which was seconded by Mr. Andrew Lamb. Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Williams moved a counter resolution in favour of Mr. James, which was seconded by Dr. E. Hearne. On being put to the vote the show of hands was very evenly balanced, and the chairman declared the majority to be in favour of Mr. James. This decision was disputed by Mr. Weguelin's supporters, and defended by Mr; James's friends, and the meeting was on the point of breaking up amid great uproar, when, the chair having been vacated, Mr. Councillor Clarke was called to it, when it was proposed by Mr. Pegler and seconded by Mr. William Linkester, that the chairman having de cided against the evidence and the votes of the meeting, and having abruptly left the room, it is hereby resolved that the decision be reversed, and that the votes be de clared to be in favour of Mr. Weguelin. This resolu tion was carried unanimously. BIRMINGHA If INSTITUTION FOR Till; RELIEF (IP I )P7 4 FIVESS. (Front Arts's Btt uttiwhant Gazette.)
