A Life Assurance may be effected either by One Payment, or by an Annual Premium. 2. Policies may he effected WITT! or without the privilege of withdrawing one-half of the Annual Payments. It with out this privilege, the rates are lower. 3. A Life Assurance may be effected on the life of another, on Joint Lives or Sitrvivorships. 4. Annuities, Immediate.

Tn the event of the Assured (when on the Withdrawal System) not rt quiring to continue the Polic, on its surrender one-half the annual payments will he returned by way of purchase of his interest therein. By this m , ans, apprehension of great pecuniary loss and doubt as to the intrinsic transferable value of each Policy is re moved, its cash va'ue being fixed and determined beforehand by the Society at one-half the annual premiums paid thereon : a vast class of society will thereby be admitted ; and every indivi , ntal, ahtle steadily pursuing one object—a provision fir his family at death— will have, by the plan of thin Society, a door open to his savings, which will never be closed against his wants or his use.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The Royal Albert, her Majesty's screw, 121 guns, is still at the same moorings abreast of Sheerness dockyard. She is daily shipping quantities of provisions from the victual ling yard here. Captain Sir Thomas Paisley arrived here on Sunday, and took up his commission temporarily. There is a rumour that he is to take her up the Mediterranean, when Admiral Lyons will hoist kis flag on board, and Cap tain Paisley will then remove to the Agamemnon, which ship he will bring home. We cannot, however, vouch for the accuracy of the above, but orders have been received that the crew, who are now living on board the hulk, are to be turned over to the Albert on the 18th inst. The Hannibal, her Majesty's screw, 91 guns, Hon. Capt. Grey, is at her moorings, Sheerness, which sho took up on coming out of the basin; her machinery is fast progressing, and provisions and stores are being daily shipped. In about another week she is expected to have all finished, when, if report be true, she will proceed, with the Valorous, to the East. The Valorous, paddle, Captain Backle, is in Sheerness basin. Her rigging and repairs of the paddle-wheels are fast progressing ; 71 of her tars arrived on Saturday even ing last by the, paddle Janus, 7 guns, from Plymouth. The whole of her crew may now be said to have returned to their old ship, with the exception of two or three, who are detained through unavoidable circumstances. She will no doubt be ready by the appointed time, viz., the 9th inst., when there is a report here that she will proceed to the East, and take with her 100 of the Artillery who volunteered for foreign service. To-morrow she will take iu her provisions, &c. The Hornet, 22, sailed from Plymouth on Sunday even ing for the Cape of Good Hope and the East Indies, and the Indefatigable, 50, left on Monday morning for Rio Janeiro. On nearing Pendlee the wind became light, and she remained there some time at anchor. The Faith, screw steam-transport, is now being laden at Woolwich dockyard, and will embark Artillery under orders for the seat of war in the East. turday, which occupied nearly five hours. Major Bruce, IBth Regiment, was president.

The sentence will not be known until the proceedings are confirmed at the Horse Guards. The prisoner returned with the regiment from India. The Russian prisoners were removed this morning from Sheerness ; they were put on board a steamer, which sailed for Ne a haven ; there they are to disembark, and thence proceed to Lewes gaol. There were about 200, in cluding officers MILITIA.

The men having been paraded and mustered, arms and accoutrements were issued under the superintenuence of the captains of companies, the adjutant and quartermaster, after which the men were inspected by the noble colonel and Captain Colville (adjutant). The corps will assemble to-day and commence training, and when the period ex pires it is understood the regiment will be embodied for permanent garrison duty. THE VICTORY OF THE ALMA. LONDON. It would be difficult to exaggerate the interest created in the .metropolis yesterday by the intelligence of the victory of the Alma and the probable capture of Sebas topol. Eager groups collected at almost every point to discuss the news, and to vent ti'.ir curiosity in surmises as to the details of the grft - ay , :nts described by the telegraph with such painful bre4ty. At 6 o'clock in the morning the guns in the Park and at the Tower fired royal salutes, to initmate to the in ' habitants of the metropolis that a great and glorious victory had been gained by the forces of her Majesty, combined with those of France. At 12 o'clock the guns were again fired, and during the day the bells in the several churches of the metropolis rang merry peals in celebration of the glorious event. In the City the ordinary business gave way to a great extent to the all-absorbing topic. The Sheriffs look upon the arrival of the news of victory on the day of their in auguration as a most auspicious commencement of their year of office ; and the Court of Common Council are expected at their meeting this day to pass strong resolu tions and addresses on the subject of the victory. It was suggested to the Lord Mayor that he should re commend to his fellow-citizens a general illumination, but this he declined to do until the fall of Sebastopol is officially made known to him by the Government. Similar feelings appear to have prevailed all over the country, and in all the anxiety is intense to learn the circumstances under which the enemy has been defeated and the Crimea has fallen into the hands of the Allies. ponderous parcel present itself than an eager rush was made to the bookstall, and it was only by the utmost exertion on the part of the proprietor in the distribution of papers, aided by his ample supply of assistants, that the large concourse of persons was induced to disperse, and this was not accomplished until the whole of the first batch of newspapers were disposed of. In conse quence of the confirmation of the joyful intelligence, the bellringers were busily engaged during the day in sending forth the glorious news from the various church-steepl es by the production of continued merry peals, and every available spot in which a union jack could be erected was supplied with that token of English power and liberty. In some places, however, the English, French, and Turkish flags were flying in concert, and at the docks the General Screw Company's fine steam-ship Argo, which takes her departure fur Australia with the monthly mails on 'Wednesday (to-morrow), commemorated this great victory by at once, upon receipt of the intelligence hoisting the French flag at the fore, the English at the main, and the Turkish at the mizen. Business seemed a secondary consideration, and the capture of Sebastopol occupied the conversation of every one. PORTSMOUTH. Yesterday at noon a Royal salute was fired by her Majesty's ships at this port, in commemoration of the victories gained by the allied armies in the Crimea. All the ships dressed, and the garrisnn platform battery also fired a royal salute. The bells of the town churches were rung, and the port presented a " gala" appearance the whole day. APPOINTMENTS.

The sum of 1,0001. has arrived at Sheerness for distribu tion among the Russian and Finnish prisoners of war now on board the Devonshire and Benbow. Captain Carlßeck, Late in command of the Russian-Finnish bark Carl, has, through a friend, made au application to the proper channel for subsistence-money, while enjoying his parole. He has been granted the same privilege as the officers— namely, 7s. per day. Captain Beck is in a very precarious state of health, which has brought on great depression of spirits. An Admiralty order has arrived at Sheerness granting E. A. Hillebard, the steersman of the bark Carl, 7s. per day subsistence money while on parole. The Netherlands galliot Nijverdal, H. R. Giezen late master, arrived at Sheernessyesterday, prize to the Cruiser. Captain Giezen has brought home some important infor mation, as regards the trade carried on by Prussia over the frontiers into Memel. Captain Giezen has obtained his parole on the usual terms on an official application being made in the proper quarter. The Dwina schooner, laden with salmon, cod, and had dock, cured and in bulk, arrived at Sheerness yesterday afternoon, from Kola, prize to the Miranda, in charge of Mr. Smyth, the second-master of the Miranda. The Dwina put into Yarmouth for necessary supplies. She was taken in tow by the Phoenix yesterday at noon from the Mouse, and cast off at the Nora. The Plimnix proceeded up the river for Woolwich. ARRIVAL OF A RUSSIAN PRIZE. The Netherlands galliot Nijverdal, H. R. Giezen, late master, arrived at Sheerness yesterday, prize to th• Capoain Giezen has brought home some very important information as regards the trade carried on by Prussia with the produce of Russia received over the fron- tiers into Memel. Full particulars will be given in my next despatch. Capt. Giezen has obtained his parole on the usual terms, on an official application being made here in the proper quarter. Captain Giezen has navigated the galliot home himself, only an A.B. being sent in charge, with eight coast volunteers. The Dwiva, schooner, laden with salmon, cod, and had. deck, cured and in bulk, arrived here yesterday afternoon from Kola, prize to the Miranda, in charge of Mr. Smyth, second master of the Miranda. The Dwina put in Yar mouth for necessary supplies. She was taken in tow by the Phosnix yesterday at noon from the Mouse, and cast off at the Nore. Tho Phcunix proceeded up the river for Woolwich. MISCELLANEOUS. Four line-of-battle ships, on their return to Sheerness from the Baltic, are ordered to be taken into the fitting basin, when their crews will have six weeks leave of ab -euce, and be paid the wages due to them. On their re turn they will be at liberty to volunteer for any ship in active service requiring hands. This is a boon the blue jackets have long desired. The Mounted Staff Corps were inspected on the parade ground, in St. James's-park, on Saturday, and embarked in the afternoon on board the Joseph Shepherd and Blun dell freight-ships for the seat of war in the East. PLYMOU CH, Oct. 2. —The Indefatigable did not sail yes terday, as was erroneously stated, but took her departure at eight a.m. to-day, for the South American station. THE BALTIC FLEET. We understand that ofEcial inquiries have been prose cuted as to the best station on our coast where a portion of the Baltic fleet, now under Sir Charles Napier's com mand, might pass the winter, and that a strong recommen dation has been given in favour of the Cromarty Frith. Ths likelihood is, therefore, that some six or eight line-of battle ships will lie at Cromarty for some months during the ensuing winter.—lnverness Advertiser. MONTHLY MILITARY OBITUARY.

Major-General Wetherall, Deputy Adjutant-General to the forces, will, it is rumoureL:, supersede Sir Harry Smith in the command. A district court•martiel &WOW at Platisla 06 s a , _ _ MANCHESTER. The news of the battle on the heights of Alma, with the taking of the Russian encampments by the British and French allies at the point of the bayonet, became generally known in Manchester on Sunday morning, and the news was received with the greatest joy and enthusiasm by all classes of the population in this peace•loving city. The beautiful bells of the old church —now the cathedral—(after having been dumb for months) rang merry peals in honour of the great event. In several of the neighbouring churches the bells also rang merrily. In the forenoon the'mayor and corpora tion of Manchester went in procession to the cathedral, Sunday being the day fixed for returning especial thanks to Almighty God for the recent abundant harvest. Upon the same occasion the mayor and corporation of Salford attended Divine service in Trinity Church, Chapel•strAet. At the cathedral the sermon was preached by the Rev. Charles Richson, M.A., clerk in orders, and at its conclusion the preacher made reference to the very gratifying intelligence of the success of our arms. After morning service in the cathedral, several of the alder men and common councillors of Manchester went to the Exchange, and after reading the despatches respecting the battle of Alma and the fall of Sebastopol, gave three hearty cheers. BIRMINGHAM. The glorious intelligence of a great victory on the Alma, and the report of a still greater triumph at Sebastopol, arrived here about 10 o'clock on Sunday morning, and within a few hours it was the theme of rejoicing over the whole town. The announce ment was immediately posted in front of some of the local newspaper offices, and means were taken to convey the intelligence to some of the clergymen and ministers of the borough, so that in the evening it became the sub ject of many appropriate allusions. Later in the day the excitement became intense. The chief thoroughfares where the news had been proclaimed were thronged with multitudes of inquirers, and in the evening this intensity of feeling became stronger still. Durin g the day the various church bells were chimed, n occasional clamming peal being given in token of victory. Yesterday morning the interest of the public became indescribable. The contents of the London and local papers were pored over with an avidity which would have rendered our brave warriors quite inflated if they could only have witnessed the sympathy which their actions have called forth. For hours the principal streets were converted into a general promenade—some reading the latest telegraphs, others repeating the in formation they had gleaned to those who were less in structed, and hundreds looking so earnest and anxious that their very countenances seemed to speak, as if de manding, " What news or, "Is there any fresh in telligence ?" This feverishness increases every hour, so that there is almost a cessation of business in the town. The universal query is, " Has Sebastopol really been taken ?" for many fear lest the report be premature or inaccurate. Some also imagine that the enemy will rally, and even if the stronghold has fallen, that they will make a desperate attempt to retake it ; the stories, too, as to the numbers of slain are monstrous?' exag gerated, varying from 4,000 to 8,000, and even beyond that to an illimitable extent. There is some talk of il luminating the town, for in this sort of demonstration Birmingham bad a kind of notoriety past. NOTTING HA/11; The news of the victory arrived on Sunday morning in this town by telegraph, and was immediately posted up outside the Commercial Exchange, As soon as the intelligence became known the utmost joy and excitement prevailed throughout the town. A large flag waved: from the fine tower of St. Mary's Church, and the bells rang a merry peal. Throughout th• neighbourhood the same joy was manifested. MANSFIELD. At Mansfield the bells were rung, and the utmost de• light exhibited, on the intelligence of the important vic tory being received. SHEERNESS. By an Admiralty order sent to the Commander-in- Chief yesterday a royal salute was fired from the ships in commission here, and also fr;lrn the prrison at noon, in honour of the victory obtained by the allied army in the Crimea. The salute commenced with the Waterloo, flag -ship, and all the other ships took it up on the second gun being fired from the Waterloo. The bands played the national anthem, &c. The Royal Albert's splendid band also played the national anthem, the British Grenadiers, Rule Britannia, &c. The Horatio, being in the basin, could not salute. On the admiral's memorandum being read to her officers and crew, a general burst of real British cheers was opening upon her commander's ears, through a general buzz fore and aft, but was suppressed, being against Ad miralty orders. However, they had it Mrs. Nickleby's fashion—" inwardly"— and left the deck, regretting they had not been partakers in the affair. WINDSOR. The glorious intelligence of the defeat of the Russians by the allied armies was welcomed here by the ringing of the bells of the Chapel Royal of St. George and St. John's Church, and the firing of a royal salute by the town bombardiers, in the Bachelor's Acre. The 46th Regiment turned out, under the command of Colonel Garrett, and had a field day in the Home Park, in honour of the occasion. This regiment, it is expected, will leave here in the course of the week. SOUTHAMPTON. In consequence of the expected publication of impor tant intelligence in reference to the report current here on Sunday that Sebastopol had fallen into the hands of the allied armies, the railway station yesterday was, previous to the arrival of the 10 o'clock train (by which the morning journals are conveyed from London), lite rally besieged by all descriptions of persons anxious to possess themselves, either by purebase Or hearsay, of the welegmo p!!! a salty ! No mow 41 the 10)04 PLYMOUTH. An order was received by telegraph yesterday morn ing from the Admiralty to fire a salute in honour of the great victory obtained over the Russian forces on the heights of Alma ; accordingly at noon the Impregnable, Royal William, and Calcutta thundered forth a royal salute of 21 guns, and all the ships in the harbour were dressed with flags. DERBY. A telegraphic communication was received in Derby on Sunday announcing the victory of the allies, and pro duced great rejoicing, in so far as congratulations were concerned, but it was thought desirable to await a con firmation of the news by the morning papers of Monday. Immediately on their arrival the news flew wide and fast ; the bells of all the churches rang merry peals during the day ; cannons were fired, flags hoisted at the Royal Hotel, Reporter_Office, Shot Tower, the churches, and other places, and a band of music played at night in front of the Royal Hotel. People in Derby, as elsewhere, are delighted beyond measure at the victory, but in the midst of the general rejoicing they do not forget to speak of the brave fellows who have fallen in the conflict, and of their relatives. MOVEMENTS ON THE BESSARABIAN FRONTIER. The movements of the Turkish and Russian forces on the Bessarabian frontier deserve more attention than is being paid to them at present in the west of Europe. According to the most recent ]esters from Odessa and St. Petersburg, the Russian Government are apprehen sive that as soon as the Crimea has been occupied, a si multaneous advance will be made by the allies into Bes sarabia and the Government of Kherson. No great pre parations appear to be making for the defence of Odessa —perhaps reliance is placod upon the difficulty which any invading force would find, even after capturing that town, in. advancing across the steppes behind it into the interior. But considerable efforts appear to be made to resist any attack from the side of Bessarabia. The souihern boundary of Bessarabia—about 100 English miles in length—is formed by the main stream of the Danube from Reni to some miles above Tultscha (about 40 English miles, and thence to the sea by the St. George Branch of that river. The western boun dary of the province —at least of that part of it with which we have at present to deal —is formed by the Pruth. Galatz, in Wallachia, is situated on the left bank of the Danube some ten or twelve miles above Rent—at the elbow where the river, ceasing to flow from south to north, turns its coast to the east. Ibraila, in Moldavia—also on the left bank of the Danube—is about a score of miles to the south of Galatz. On the Turkish bank of the Danube are Tultscha, nearly opposite the apex of the Delta, and Isaktchi, some 20 or 30 English miles further up—both close to the river. About 40 English miles below Reni and 60 from the sea, the Kilia branch of the Danube separates from that which a little lower down divides into the Sulina and St. George branches, and flows for some 20 miles directly to the noith. It then pursues an eastern course to the sea. Nearly at the bend is Ismail, and in its immediate neighbourhood Tutschkow. Reni is in Bessarabia, and occupies the angle formed by the meeting of the Pruth and Danube. It is about 30 English miles west of Ismail in a direct line. Be tween Reni and Ismail are two large marshy lakes communicating with the Danube ; a third of the same character is a short way to the east of thi_se places. It will be fresh in the recollection of our readers that the Western Powers have wrung from Austria a re luctant consent to allow the Turks and their allies to occupy Ibraila and Galatz, and to advance from those places, if they see fit, against the Russian fron tier. Availing themselves of this liberty, Turkish troops have occupied both places, and the advance guard of their army has been pushed on to the right bank of the Pruth opposite Reni. Batteries are being thrown. up there by the Turks, and the defences of Galatz and Ibraila are being strengthened. Great exertions are likewise made to strengthen the works of Isaktchi and Tultscha, both of which places are being strongly gar risoned. A reserve of 30,000 men, stationed at Hirsova, about 30 0r 4 40 English miles below the point at which the Roman wall abuts on the Danube, are held as re serve in readiness to support these advanced posts. It is also stated that a body of troops has been drawn to gether at Babadag, in the Dobrudscha, south of Tult scha, on the western shore of lake Razin. Within this short time additional Turkish troops have been inces santly marched into the Dobrudscha. The Turkish corps d'armi (which had been marched into Wallachia has recrossed the Danube at Giurgevo and Rustchuk ; it has there met with troops which have descended the Danube from Widdin and the intermediate towns, or crossed Rou'nelia from the Greek frontier. These forces are being directed in two streams —one upon Varna to be embarked for the Crime.►, the other into the Dobrudscha. With regard to the immediate destina tion of the Turkish troops in the Dobrudscha, at Ibraila and Galatz, and on the Lowe: Pruth, we know nothing more than is to be gleaned from the electric telegraph despatch from llermannstadt wh:cli we published last week, intimating that Omer Pacha's army was in full march to the Bessara bian frontier, and that the Pacha, himself was to take the field on Thursday last. The Russians on their side of the frostier have some 6,000 men in Reni ; the rest of the army withdrawn fromithe Principalities and the troops previously in Bessarabia, with the excep tion of some that have been despatched to reinforce the garrison of Odessa, are said to be concentrated behind Ismail and Tutschkow. A Turkish reconnaissance which crossed the Danube on the 19th ult., and was pushed up to the very walls of Tutschkow, met with no Russian soldiers in advance of that town. The Russian flotilla of the Danube has been withdrawn into the har bour of Ismail, and the fortifications of that place are being strengthened. General Luders has for the pre sent established his head-quarters at Tutschkow ; Lieutenant-General Lochner, an experienced engineer, has been appointed Governor of Ismail. Prince Gorts chakoff divides his attention between the army concen trated round Ismail and Odessa ; at the latter place General Osten-Sacken continues to hold command. It is symptomatic of the state of feeling among the Rus sian commanders on the Bessarabian lines, that the utmost efforts are being made to strengthen the fortifi cations of Kiew in their rear. This looks like a pre paration to fall back on the line of the Dnieper, leaving Odessa, Nicholaiev, Ismail, and the immediate adjoin ing country and towns to be occupied by the allies.— Daily News. EMIGRANTS' HOME AT TILBURY. A company with a capital of 25,0001., in 51. shares, is proposed for building an Emigrants' Home at Tilbury, opposite Gravesend, at the terminus of the railway. It is stated that an establishment affording every needful accommodation and comfort for 664 individuals can be erected for 20,0001., and that respectable persons have offered to lease such an institution at 7 per cent, on the outlay. Similar projects are referred to as having been carried out with great success at Hamburg and Bremen, and it is evidently only by this means that emigrants can be protected from the chief troubles and expenses as well as the serious deceptions to which they are at pre sent exposed. The undertaking was suggested by Mrs. Chisholm to Mr. Samuel Sidney, by whom it will be managed, and the following is given as a practical ex ample of the plan " A man in Aberdeen, with a wife and five children, could ascertain before breaking up his home the exact expense of travelling to London, staying a week or more in the 'Home,' and of his passage to Australia. He could in one payment clear all his expenses up to the time he had settled all his family on board ship, and by another payment clear his passage money to any colony. By arrangement he would enter a second-class carriage at Aberdeen, which would gather fresh recruits (bound to sail about the same time as himself) at Montrose, Dundee, Perth, Stirling, Edinburgh, Berwick, New castle, Durham, York. Leeds, Sheffield, Lincoln, Not tingham, Leicester, Derby, &c. ; and so, without changing carriage or unloading luggage, the whole party would be conveyed straight to the 'Home' at Tilbury. There, for moderate fees, the women could wash and dry their clothes for the voyage ; the men could pack under the advice of an experienced packer.

The selection of Liverpool for this year's meeting of the British Association may be regarded as an indication that our aavans are sensible of the close ties which bind together Science and Commerce. On the services which the latter renders to the cause of human knowledge, by familiarising its votaries with the varied production s of every soil and clime, it is unne cessary to dwell. Nor, on the other hand, do we need to be reminded, in this age of steam, gas, end electri city, how effectually science has repaid to commerce all that it has received. Learning, after all, has no more beneficent function than as the minister to man's necessities. The practical, if not the ultimate, end of Science—at all events in the sense in which it is under stood by the British Association—is to supply, or to anticipate, the material wants of mankind, and to improve their material condition ; and the learned body which has just closed its labours at Liverpool c mid not have chosen a fitter seat to symbolise its true purpose than that great emporium of trade. In coin• mon with the rest of the world we have watched the proceedings of the association with more than a merely speculative interest. Their experiments on the laws and I phenomena of optics may, possibly, eventually lead to our enjoying in our midnight labours as white, and al most as cheap, a light as the sun gives at mid-day. Prom Colonel Sabine's researches on terrestrial magne tism we may perhaps learn to bring more completely , under our dominion that mysterious agent which is al ready our courier. And there is no saying what useful moral lessons the world may not have derived from Pro fessor Owen's lectures on Anthropomorphous apes, al though, perhaps, a disquisition on Semiamorphous An thropoi might have been more immediately interesting to the ethical student. While, however, there is no portion of the labours of the Association which may not be subservient, directly or indirectly, to the industrial and social progress of the nation, it is to the statistical section that we more espe cially look for the diffusion of useful information and enlightened views on subjects of immediate practical in ,terest. There is one topic, in particular, of vital mo ment to all classes of the community, to which the at tention of that section has, we are glad to perceive, been already directed ; and we trust that it will be earnestly followed up in future years, until its importance shall have been practically recognised by the Legislature. We allude to the question of Agricultural Statistics, on which an interesting dis cussion took place a day or two ago. It cannot be necessary to urge, either on the merchants of the second town of the kingdom, or on the members of the British Association, the great value of statistical information in general ; and we may naturally expect that they will be among the first to recognise the national importance of agricultural statisties, and to regret the utter want of all such information respecting the produce of Great Britain. This question is not, in deed, altogether new, for the attention of Sir Robert Peel was already directed towards it while the sliding scale was still the law of the land. But his retirement from office suspended its further progress, and it re mained, for a while, apparently forgotten. Subjects of so much practical importance, however, cannot slumber long in oblivion in a country like this, where commer cial enterprise and the diffusion of knowledge advance rapidly hand in hand ; and it may be safely anticipated that, at no distant day, we shall possess a body of agri cultural statistics worthy of an age of scientific pro grass. It is true that objections have been urged to the col lection of such information, not merely on the ground of the difficulty or expense of the process, but also upon general principles. It has been sometimes asserted, for instance, that we are better without any accurate know ledge of the amount of our annual supplies of food, be cause ignorance on the subject, by increasing the risks of agriculturists and dealers, stimulates their enterprise. Such reasoners would scorn a reconnaissance before a battle, and if they had steamed into Sebastopol with Sir George Brown mid General Caurobert, they would have obstinately kept their eyes closed to the ships in the harbbur and to the guns on the forts. According to them, the allied generals would he lamentably hampered by an accurate knowledge of the dangere they had to contend with, while the success of their plans would be much promoted if they were based upon a gross exaggeration or a contemptuous depreciation of the enemy's forces. With the public at large, however, as well as with those who produce and thoss who trade in corn, cattle, and other agricultural produce, such views will scarcely find much favour. Steadiness of price is far more beneficial to all those classes than the "enterprise" which is thus strangely advocated; and that steadiness can only be attained by procuring accurate information of the amount of the sup ply which can be brought into the market. The specu lator might not, indeed, under such circumstances, make as brilliant coups as he does in the existing state of things, but he would not meet with as terrible reverses. The farmer would neither rush to market in a panic, and thus aggravate the evil of falling , prices from which he seeks to fly ; nor, on the other hand, would he be tempted, by exaggerated reports of deficient crops, to heard his produce in the vain hope of fabulous profits which are never realised. But it is upon the labouring classes of the community that faithful agricultural sta tistics would confer the greatest benefit. To them steadiness in the cost of the necessaries of life is a mat ter of vital interest. A high price puts them upon short commons ; and as their appetites cannot contract and expand with the ri-e and fall of the market, no succes sion of surfeits, atter a series of fastings, can compensate them for the want of that moderate supply which they might have obtained steadily, all the year round, if the price had not materially oscillated on either side of the average point. It is obvious that, for the purposes here alluded to, an account of the animal and vegetable productions of the soil which are already consumed would be useless. The information that is needed is that which relates to the growing or housed, not to the devoured and for gotten crops, and to procure it in a satisfactory and use ful shape a double process would probably be found necessary. The extent of land under tillage, and the nature and probable success of the crops sown, might be ascertained in the spring ; and these particulars, together with the favourable or unpropitious state of the weather, and consequently of the soil, at seed-time, would form tolerably fair data for an estimate of the quan tity of produce which would be gathered in the autumn. But the experience of the late harvest teaches that this estimate would, at best, be but rudely ap preximative towards the troth. It is well known that the failure or success of a harvest often depends upon the state of the .weather during the two or three weeks before the maturity of the crops. For instance, a fort night before the wheat was ripe this summer, fears were entertained, in many parts of the country that the crop would be below the average ; and those gloomy anticipations would unquestionably have been realised if hot weather had not set in at that critical period, and filled out the ears which bore such meagre promise. A second survey, taken at this turning point in the fate of the harvest, would therefore be requisite fa- the pur pose of ascertaining the actual yield ; and there is no reason why the p e opl e o f th e United Kingdom should not know, even before the sickle has ceased its labours, what store of food they will have at their disposal for the coming year. Those who possess the most thorough and practical acquaintance with the sob jsct are the most confident in asserting that this information might pe procured, not only with the requisite despatch, but also with the requisite ac curacy. Every person who has had much experi ence in the valuation of crops knows how closely the calculations of independent and uninterested sur veyors approximate on such occasions; and similar accu racy might be carried into the more extensive valuation required by the nation. Into this part of the question, however, it is unnecessary to enter further. As soon as the intrinsic importance of trustworthy agricultural sta tistics shall be generally felt and admitted, there will be no practical difficulty in devising machinery for collect ing them, or in finding funds fur setting that machinery in motion.—. Morning Chronicle. THE BANKING AND MONEYED INTERESTS. The rate of discount has been for some time unexpect edly high. Instead of the Bank of England lowering its rate to 41, the market rate a few weeks ago, as was then anticipated, the market rate has gone up to the Rink rate of 5 per cent., at which the Bank is lending large sums, and no bills are discounted below it. This rise in the value of money in the face of continual arri vals of gold, declining exchanges, and an abundant har vest, which has brought the foreigner into our market, excites surprise and leads to investigation. The high rate seems confined to England and the United States. In Holland money is plentiful and interest low-24 per cent. In Hamburg, which may be taken to re present Germany, the case is similar. The Bank of France is gorged with gold. In the United States, however, money can scarcely be borrowed. The rate is so high-12 per cent. being the minimum of the best three or four months' paper—that trade is impeded, orders given at Birmingham and elsewhere are with drawn, and business restricted within a very narrow compass, At present, too, the market is better than it u, was ; in fact, commerce in the States is going h one of those periodical convulsions which seem through one ssuamrye former topurifyuoint,vtuhlsoiuogulsi.thTerapdreeisuenEt lessnisgiaud i s s ev s e im re ila t r h l a y n t though less injuriously deranged z W' t - ea t alresl we uir know ofer suffering from slight a partial collapse, though so that e i r i c s u t n h l s ta C n o c n e t s in fr U o e n d i high rate t a e l o o f we d r i srcaotuen i n n a t t l u i e ra f l ' l l y ce ex . peeled. American authorities tell us that capital is abundant for all thee legitimate purposes of trade, but there is universal distrust. So in England capital is far loss deficient tha n confidence.

In the long run it is quite certain that the quan tities of commodities to which political economists chiefly direct their attention determine the whole extent and profit of trade—they determine, in fact, the amount of population as well as the amount of exchanges, and prescribe by inexorable laws the total amount of business which can be done. But as one great element of all production and all exchange is confidence (for if one man were not assured that an- other is providing food for him, he must provide it for himself—a principle which pervades all society, without which there could be no division of labour)—the moral quaiities of men determine at every period the distri bu-ion of commodities ; and, for the moment, even more than the element of quantity may cause a scarcity or abundance. How apparently abundant was capital in 1845—how apparently scarce now. Yet there can be no doubt that in relation to the wants of the people or the work t . be done, capital is really more abundant now than it was then. We shall find, therefore, in the events that have lessened confidence in both countries the explanation we seek. Within the last few months a most extensive falsifies. tion of dock and delivery warrants has here been brought to light. By that falsification several discount houses and banks have suffered, and the losses of one firm are variously conjectured at between 80,0001. and 200,0001. In it several persons were implicated, some of whom pre viously bore a very high character, which gave a great shock to confid ence . Di scoun t b ro k er s, deceived by men they had impli c itly t r u s t e d, b e c a me generally suspi cious, and until the quantity of capital accumulated so as to be inconvenient they were disposed to refuse accom modation to all their customers. The falsification discre dited for a time a large and very important class of se curities, and was equivalent to the depreciation of this kind of property. It compelled those who relied on warrants for advances to forego them, or to substitute bills, and in various ways tended to lessen credit gene rally and enhance the rate of discount. What happened in the States was similar, but the class of securities was different. There Mr. Schuyler and others falsified rail way shares, and throwing for a time complete discredit on this large mass of securities, took so much property out of the market. By the last accounts from the States, while good commercial paper was done at 12 per cent., advances on railway paper were not made on less than 14, and were as high as 20 per cent. We cannot specify exactly the amount of property temporarily depre ciated, and so fp: destroyed by the falsification of delivery warrants here, and railway shares there, but it amounts to a very enormous sum ' • at the same ti me th e cargoes and t h e railways represented by these securities are not intrinsi cally iess valuable and less useful than before. All the property remains, the quantity is undiminished, but confidence in large classes of men hitherto highly re spected, has been weakened and overthrown, and the whole of them, indeed the whole community in both hemispheres, by a temporary derangement of business, severely injured by the fraudulent proceedings of a few individuals. The discovery of fraud where it was wholly unexpected has become the parent of universal sus picion. Hence, while the quantities of commodities have undergone no diminution—while, on the contrary, the large harvest of Europe is an unusual increase of them—there is a great difficulty in borrowing, and those whose character and means really exempt them from all suspicion share in the difficulties brought on by the dishonesty of some trusted individuals. These circumstances explain in a great measure the difficulties at present experienced in trade ; but at the same time it must not be overlooked that the bulk of commercial men both here and in the States, and espe cially in the States, have been too eager to make money. They have all shared in the desire, and most of them have cherished it too much, which, in the Campbells, the Coles, and the Schuylers, have led to flagrant deceit. They are generally in fault, and consequently suffer. Besides the action of commercial men on the money mar ket, however, there is now a much more extensive action of Government than usual, which we must not overlook. Commerce as the rule replaces the capital it employs with a profit, but Government consumes without re producing. It is quite plain from the increase of ca. pital during the war which finally ended in 1815, that this action of Government is not so destructive as is generally described ; that much Government expendi ture replaces with a large profit the capital of the indi viduals it employs, and that what war really wastes and misapplies destructively is merely the quantity of labour embodied in its soldiers and eaib,rs, and the de struction they cause. It is equally plain from the im mense mass of capital applied within the last 20 years to the construction of railways—nearly 300,000,0001., and often misapplied without a very serious injury to the nation—that the sum now required or likely to be required by our. Government for the present necessary war, is a mere trifle of the national resources, and if only properly applied can be easily as it will be cheerfully contributed. .Nevertheless, the destructive action of Government, the loans for France and Turkey, the in• creased taxes and the temporary loans raised by Exche quer debentures at home, with a probability of this action impeding production in the countries more imme diately the seat of war, is not without a considerable present and prospective influence on the money market. The war will of necessity increase the demands' of Go vernment—at least, so monied men calculate—and capi talists, therefore, will less readily lend to the merchant at a low rate of interest as long as the conviction is entertained that Government must, in some way or other, be constrained to borrow. Both the action of Government and the somewhat too active pursuit of wealth by commercial men now conspire to produce a strain on capital, and increase the rate of interest. . - The last returns of the Bank of England, taken as an index to the general condition, supply evidence of this strain from both causes. When the resources of our own Government are somewhat low, those of the French Government, we may conclude, are not in excess. When the private deposits in the Bank of England are small, we may infer that the depcsits of individuals in the hands of bankers, most of whom hare accounts at the Bank, are also small. The bankers are, in fact, said to be ♦ery bare of money. A comparison of the deposits in the Bank of England for the third week in September for fire consecutive years, as an index to the strain now general on the money market, shows the smallness, at present, both of public and private deposits.—Daily News. .RAILIVAY INTELLIGENCE. STIRLING AND DUNFERMLINE. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at Edinburgh on Friday afternoon, Mr. Austruther pre siding. The CHAIRMAN said that when he had last addressed them he informed them that the accounts for the con struction of the greater part of the line had been lodged with the statutory auditor. He then expected with confidence that before he again met them those accounts would have been audited, and the amount fixed upon which the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company would have to pay rent. It had turned out, however, that before proceeding to audit the accounts the auditor had allowed the lessees to inspect them, and to state any objections which they might entertain. It was only on the 14th of June that the lessees gave in a paper of general and special objections, which were answered by the Stirling and Dunfermline Company. Upon the 10th of August parties were ordered to revise their papers, with a view to closing the discussion ; but the time was prolonged at the inqance of the lessees. It was about to expire, and the directors of the Stirling and Dunfermline Com pany intended to apply to the auditor to carry his order into execution. The chairman concluded by moving the adoption of the report. Mr. JOHNSTONE, M.P., seconded the motion. In reply to various questions, The CHAIRMAN stated that the amount of arrears due to the shareholders of the Stirling and Dunfortnline line was about 70,0001., on which interest at the rate of 5 per cent, was paid ; that the outstanding claims against the company amounted to probably 50,0001., and that this sum must either be paid out of the arrears due, or out of an increased capital, to be authorised by Parliament. Which of these two courses should be adopted had not yet been considered by the directors. The report was then adopted, and the proceedings terminated. FORTH AND CLYDE JUNCTION. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at Stirling on Thursday ; the Duke of Montrose in the chair. The report laid before the meeting stat ed that great progress had been made with the lan d settlements, a, very few of which only remained fo r final ad j us tment. The engineer's report stated that the contract for the execution of the whole works was fixed at 117 , 0 00/. From their present state, he h ad ever y reason to exp ec t that the line would be finish ed and o pened for traffic about The approval August o next. f h• t re port was mo ve d b y the CHAIR.

AYR AND MAYBOLE JUNCTION RAILWAY.—The first meeting of the shareholders of this undertaking was held in Ayr on Tuesday ; Mr. Rigby Wason in the chair. The report stated that the act of incorporation had been obtained last session of Parliament ; that the capital of the company was 33,000/. ; that a p rov i s i ona l agreemen t bad been enter e d i nto for the execution of the works, previous to obtaining the act, for 24,453/. ; that the works should be commenced early nest month. The re port was approved of. SELXIIM AND GALASMIELS RAILWAY COMPANY.—The first meeting of this company was held on Wednesday in Selkirk ; Provost Roberts presiding. The report, an abstract of which we have already printed, was approved of and thanks given to the directors. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.
