[A. summary of the following appeared in The Sun of yesterday The General Screw Steam Shipping Company's steam-ship Hydaspes, Commander H. B. Benson, arrived at Plymouth yesterday morning, bringing mails in charge of Captain G. B. Jeffreys, R. N., Admiralty agent, from Calcutta, via Mauritius and the Cape, 95 passengers, and a full and valuable cargo of silk and Indigo. Her dates are—Calcutta, January 15th; Madras, 20th ; CeYlon, 24th ; Mauritius, February Bth ; Cape of Good Hope, 25th; St. Helena, March 6th ; Ascension, 10th ; Fayal, April 13th. The election of representatives in the Upper House of /'arliatuent at tie Cape vras,nearly coin plete. Almost every seat had been contested. • Sir George Clerk, formerly GOvernor of Bombay, has ' it is said,. twice declined the governorship at the. Cape. . _ ' . The abandonment of the Orange River Sove reignty, where it is alleged that gold hcis bsen dis covered, gives greatdissatisfaction to the colonists. The forlowiii is a list of the troops at the Cape of Good Hope :—The 2d (Queen's), numbering about 500 ; the 12th Foot, 400 ; the 45th, 600 ; the GOth Rifles, 600 ; the, 73d, 500 ; the 91st 400 • , and the Cape Corps, 1,000. _ The 12th - and 91si, received orders in January to prepare for returning home. They were to be re lieved by the 21st and 63d, since ordered to the East. It is considered that since Sir George Cathcart's system of colonial government has been adopted the present military force at the Cape could be safely. reduced. At Table Bay, on the 24th of February, the General Screw steam-ship Sir Robert Peel, Captain Boxer, waiting the arrival of the English mail for Natal. The ship Mersey, for Melbourne, and the brig Vigilant, for Geelong, were ready for sea. The barques Mary Ann, for Madras, the Perseve rance, for St. Helena, the . Marie Leo Candie and the brig Hirondelle, for Melbourne, were to leave on the 25th. The ship Devonshire, for London, on the 27th, and the brig Ariel, for London, in a few days. The Hydaspes has had a long and very tedious passage home. On the 31st of January, four days previous to her arrival at the Mauritius, one of the fan-blades broke off, and, after coaling at that place, she proceeded to the Cape, where she arrived on the 20th of February, making the passage from Calcutta in 37 days. On the day of her arrival at -the Cape a fatal accident occurred, which threw 'a gloom over, every one on board. It appears that the shears employed for the purpose of lifting the broken screw previous to fixing a new one capsized, carrying away the after guys, and, being above the poop-deck at - the time, the shears and fan fell forward, nearly breaking through the pooP. The chief. officer Mr. Bryer, saw• the danger, pushed others from it, fell underneath, and was killed on the spot. The chief engineer, Mr. Willcox, had his arm broken, and was otherwise injured ; he was conveyed on shore to the hospital,, where every attention was paid him, and we are happy to hear he was progressing favourably on the ship's departure: One fireman was slightly hurt ; the other officers and men were saved by the energy of Mr. Bryer, who was an excellent officer. Afterfixing a new screw and coaling, theHydaspes left the Cape on the 25th of February ; thence she went to St. Helena and Ascension, and when within 143 miles of St. Vincent, working against a strong north-east trade wind and current, it was found that there was not sufficient fuel on board to convey her there. Captain Benson, Captain Jeffreys, R.N., Admiralty agent, and the officers then resolved to bear away for St. Jago for fur ther supplies, but when within two hours' sail of liikt,,Paßnftite7aairid. ,diedraway, and the enrrent drifted the steamer out to sea . again. It was then determined to bear away for St. Vincent, which' was accordingly done, but having beaten about for five day); against a strong north-east trade wind without gaining any ground, and the stock and water getting scarce, it was resolved, with so large a number of people on board, to give upthefruitless at temp, and to steer for the Azores. It was, - however, fated she should encounter other disapfointments, and she experienced a succession of calms and contrary winds. On the 31st March she metthe American ship M- de Embiel, in lat. 31 28 N., and long. 3 6 W., laden with coals froth Cardiff for the. Havannah. It was nearly calm at the time, and the captain, in the most considerate manner, supplied the Hydaspes with coal and provisions. On the 9th of April, when within 166 miles of Fayal, a gale sprung up from the southward, which, in a 'very heavy squall ,at 8.30 'a.m., chopped round to the S. R'., thus enabling her to lay her course for that island, where, at 7 p.m., on the 10th of April, she dropped anchor in Horto Bay. After coaling and taking in supplies, she left on the 13th. Notwith standing all her misfortunes and stoppages, she made the passage from Calcutta to Plymouth in 95 days. The English and American Consuls are greatly praised for their able assistance in coaling and sup plying the ship 'at Fayal. Her Majesty's steamer Alecto, Captain Crofton, was at Ascension, refitting to come home. . Among the passengers from Calcutta are Major Huish, Capt. Fergusson, Captain Macleod, Lieu tenants E. Smyth, 13th N. 1., and W. Wilson, and the Hon. Edward Douglas ; from Ceylon, Dr. Donaldson ; from the Mauritius, Major Browne ; from the Cape of Good Hope, Colonel Armstrong, Colonel Cloete, Lieutenant-Colonel Forbes, Lieu tants Gore and Thompson ; and from Fayal, Major Creagh. The following ships were seen on the homeward passage : Point de Gale, January 30.—Her Majestys fri gate Fox, coming out ; February 19, the English ship Chieftain, from Mauritius to London, 24 days out, lat. 34 56 S., long. 20 58 E. ; March 10, her Majesty's steamer Volcano, steering to the east ward off Ascension. Ascension, March 10.—Her Majesty's steamer, Alecto, refitting for England ; the French ship, Bella Cabana, 29 days out, from Havre, bound for Guadaloupe, lat. 23 43 N., long. 32 34 W. ; March 29, the English schooner Eliza Goddard, to the southward and eastward, lat. 27 54 N., long. 35 53 W. ; March. 31, the American ship M. de Embiel, 19 days out from Cardiff, bound to Havannah, lat. 34 28-N., long. 35 40 W.; April 17, the ship Statesman, from Port Philip, with golddust, out 71 days, bound to London, lat. 45 6 N., lung. 17 20 W. taining from 20 to 50 grains have been discoVered lying on the surfer*. Great ,excitement prevails, and -- a party of six is leaving . this -very_ hour for the gold diggi ngs . There is no doubt that - large quantitiss will be discov ered as soon as they begin .digging in full earniat, and especially with experienced men to direct them." " BIIRGHERSDORP, Feb. 17.—Regarding the gold dis coveries, it is proved beyOnd the - least deubt that the precious metal exists hire, and the most sangnine hopes are entertained regardi n g • th e - quantity which will be found after -regular mining, under men of experience, has been established. A- very, natural, Consequence of this diScovery is; that people begin to find gold veins on every farm, and reports ar e curre nt that in Albert gold was found yesterday. -writes on the 13th inst., that `diggings - will be stopped for the next week, owing to the meeting at Bloeinfontein. This last week proves, beyond any doubt; that gold exists in considerable quan tities here.. Parties have ridden out-to a Shaft which has been sunk by subscription, 'and have returned with spe cimens of quartz, which, being examinedi produced seve ral nuggets., One of„ them weighed . 88 grains, another 63, another 36, and many small piecei were discovered by washing.' About-the gold in the Trans-Vaal country, various reports before us state, that 'gold his already been found in abundance.' The boors have stopped the search' until - the Sovereignty question has been settled, and the 'Riad have decided on hiving their own money for the repUblic." -• AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE FRANKLIN. - SOUTHAMPTON, APRIL 20. By the United States' mail steam-ship Franklin, J. A. Wotton cemmand,er, which arrived -off Cowes this morning on her way to Havre, we have dates from New York to the Bth inst. The Franklin has $550,000 in specie, 550 bales of cotton, and 100 packages of sundries for Havre, and brought 134 passengers. In lat. 43 to 44, and long. 43 to 44, the Franklin passed a large n umber of icebergs. This steamer brings no news of the arrival at Phila delphia of the steamers City of Glasgow and City of Manchester. The former vessel was in her 40th day from Liverpool, and it was feared she was either lost or beset by ice in the Atlantic. The New York Chamber of Commerce held its regular monthly meeting on the 6th inst., during which, after the transaction of preliminary business, Mr. Walter R. Jones introduced an important series of resolutions, having reference to the system of carrying ion maritime warfare by means of privateers; condemn ing it in strong language, and sustaining the principle that free ships shall make free goods, and the neutral flag shall give neutrality to the cargo. Recent proceedings relative to the same subject in the British Parliament were referred to with approbation. The following were the resolutions agreed to : "1. That in the opinion of this Chamber the system of carrying on maritime warfare by means of privateers is contrary to the dictates of sound morality, inconsistent in its spirit with the principles of justice and humanity, and that the time has arrived when it should not be tolerated by the laws of civilised nations. _ . . " 2. That the depredations of privateers on private pro perty occasion much individual distress and ruin on the one hand, without any adequate national benefits on the other. That modern warfare can be carried on effectually without resorting to such means of individual suffdring and private plunder, which fall almost entirely on the commer cial classes. "3. That the efforts now making in Europe to extin guish privateering by arrangements to be consummated among the diplomatists of the Old World call for the co operation of the Government of the United States. "4. That the treaty made by the United States and Russia, in 1785, negotiated by the far-Seeing and. keen-. sighted Franklin, whereby both Governments bound them selves not to issue commissions to privateers, discloses the policy of that early day, and is well worthy of our support at this time. "5. That this Chamber notices with great gratification the movement of Mr. Gibson in the House of COmmons, on the 17th of March, praying her Majesty give special instrtiotions to the officers commanding her Majesty's cruisers in the event'of war to abstain from interfering with neutral vessels on account of any . goods or property not con traband of war contained therein, and to direct her Minis ters to consider the policy of entering into treaty stipula tions with foreign countries on the principle that free ships shall make free goods, and the neutral flag ,five neutrality to the cargo ' and that this Chamber consider that these principles should be sustained by the Government of the United States in all its negotiations with foreign Powers. "6: That in the opinion of this Chamber, in view of the magnitude of the tonnage of this country and its rapid increase, it is incumbent upon the Government of the United States to exert a leading influence in this reform, whether they regard the demands of justice and humanity, or the interests of our citizens, so much exposed on every ocean. " 7. That a memorial be prepared and signed by the officers of this Chamber, addressed to the President of the United States, asking him to open negotiations with other powers for the suppression of privateering; and, also, for the recognition 'of the principle that free ships make free goods. • "8. That another memorial be prepared by them, and addressed to the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States, asking them to pass such laws as will in their own opinion check and essentially put a stop to privateering." Colonel Lee desired to embody in the same document the subject of impressment of seamen. Itliad never been settled by treaty with England, and was but imperfectly understood. After some debate, •it was decided to be inexpedient to agitate the subject at the present juncture. This question thus coming up on the original resolu tions, they were at once adopted, and a committee of five was appointed to prepare an appropriate memorial to be forwarded to the President of the United States, and the representatives in Congress Messrs. Perit, "ones, Curti% Thoonix, and Kelly, were appointed as such committee. Upon the proceedings of the Chamber of Commerce the New. York, Courier and Enquirer bases the following remarks : " The able and emphatic resolutions of the Chamber of Commerce against privateering not only embody the views of our enlightened commercial men, but reflect the senti ments of the intelligent public mind throughout the country. They, are a genuine American expression of the American sense of justice. The spirit of them cannot be said to be new, for it has animated our legislation and our diplomacy from the earliest period of our Republic. Frank lin made the suppression of privateering an important aim in his negotiations, even prior to the establishment of the Federal Constitution. Our great waiters upon international law, both Kent and Wheaton, have condemned the in justice and inhumanity of the practice in the strongest terms, and pronounced it unworthy of a place in the great code of nations. Our acts of Congress have prohibited every American citizen from engaging in it against any Power with which the country is at peace, and have taken away from the privateers of other nations the right they would have, under international law, of bringing their prizes into our neutral ports. Our, discouragement of pri vate war upon the ocean, and vindication of the rights and privileges of neutral commerce, have in fact constituted a distinctive American maritime policy. We took 'ad vanced ground at the outset upon these subjects, and, have always consistently maintained it. If we have effected no actual changes in the letter of international law, it is because the disposition of other nations has not corresponded with our own. But American in fluence has all the while been operating, and the opinions and feelings of the great European Powers have gradually grown consonant to ours. There is reason to believe that England and France are now both willing to meet the United States on its own high and liberal grounds, and combine to bring maritime law into the form long claimed by us, and indisputably required by the rights of humanity and the civilisation of the age. It may be said. that England is incited by her interests in these new move ments ,ag,ainst privateering. Undeniably she is. The suppression of this species of warfare, which she formerly did so much to encourage, has become to her of immense importance. There can be no doubt th 4, if Russia were disposed to tyrant, 'and the United States to accept and employ, all the powers and privileges of privateering com missions allowed by the law of nations g as they now stand and have stood for centuries, the approaching war would be made three times more severe to England than it could possibly be under other circumstancel. War risks would fall so heavily upon English commerce as to cripple it com pletely. British ships would be safe nowhere. A single one of our fastest American steamers converted to priva teering purposes, resistless against merchantmen and defy ing the pursuit of men-of-war, might fill an entire ocean with alarm. Though owned by American citizens and manned byAmerican sailors-, she might go out of an Americau port, and even bring her prizes to American shores to be sold after adjudication by a Russian prize court, and yet afford England no just ground of complaint against our Govern ment for any infringement of the strict law of nations. We admit, then, that it is not at all strange that the English Government now evince such a willingness to intro ' duce into international law the securities for commerce which the United States have so long desired. There is no real danger that any of these privateering rights will be exercised. They are, not only repugnant to the spirit of our people, but are contrary to our statute law. Yet there is an apprehension in the English mind that privateering may be carried on to a certain extent, and it has un doubtedly contributed to produce the rise in English ma rine insurances. It is, in a certain sense, true, that what ever artificial cause of this kind operates against English shipping operates in favour of ours. Heavy insurances upon British vessels give American vessels a material ad vantage in the carrying trade. But we are sure that no such ephemeral consideration can divert our Go vernm e nt one moment from improving the opportunity of effec ting these groat commercial reforms in the law of nationsna tion, which our own permanent interests as a commercialiave as well as our own unchangeable sense o f justice, long impelled us to advocate.

ASSURANCE, BY ONE PAYMENT. _ This Company grants policies to Members of their own Company, assnrng against death by railways on payment of only one sum of four shill:ngs per cent. Thus, a person aged 30, who has an ordinary Assurance with the Company for 1001, for which he pays 21. 4s. Ild. aiv.ually, may have a railway policy for 1,0001. for one single pay ment of 40q., payable in the event of his death by railway accident, and in addition to the 1001. secured by the ordinary policy. SELF-PROTECTING LIFE ASSURANCE. This Company have Intro•inced a plan of assurance, whereby the following Important advantates are secured by one policy : I. The payment of a principal sum to the assured himself at a specified age. 2. An annuity to commence at that age. 3. The payment of a principal sum in the event of death, when ever that may happen. , 4. The fall benefit of all sums paid, although the premiums should at any time he discontinued. 5. Relief from the payment of premiums after a specified age• 6. Small periodical payments, so as to suit the convenience of the assured. The premiums are made payable quarterly, half-yearly, or ye arly but by an arra , gement with an ag ent, actin g for the Company, they may be paid weekly or monthly. All these a 'vantages are obtained by one policy,2and there is no acrifice of any sum that has been paid, in case the party should not ontinue his payments. As an example, a person aced 25, by paying 14e. quarterly, will secure 501. to himEelf on his attaining 60 years of age, and an an nuity of 101. on reaclvng that age ; and in the event of his death at any time (however soon that may happen after he has made the tirst payment) the 501 will be paid to his rerresentatives. Ry dounlying,the premium the sum assured wilt' be 1001, and the annuity 201. If In place of fixing upon the age of 60, he should pre fer the age of 55, the premium for an assurance of 501., and an annuity of 10/.. would be 3/ 16s. 9d. yearly. As an example of the effect of diAcontinuit g to pay premiums, suppose a person aged 'l5 to take a self-protecting pol cy for 1001., and an annuity of 201., payabl on attaining 60, And to continue the payment o f Pre t.iums only until he reaches 35 years of age, in such case the policy will remain effectual to the extent of 271. 4s. 6d., and an annuity o - 5/.

Some samples came home by the Hyda,spes for the Government. The Port Elizabeth Mercury; of the 18th Feb ruary, says : " Information was received from the neighbourhood of Burghersdorp; by several persons in the town, that gold had been discovered in the neighbourhood of Smith field, and that several grains of gold had been obtained, varying in size from small particles up to nuggets of 20, 23, and 54 grains a-piece. A gentleman who arrived yesterday from Burghersdorp, and on whose judgment reliance can be placed, states that he has seen, handled. and tested in every possible way, several specimens of the ore, and that there is not the slightest doubt left on his mind that it is veritable gold, and that it can be ob tained from the neighbourhood of Smithfield in consider able quantities." The Graham's Town Journal gives the following extract of a letter from Queenstown, dated the 15th February : " You will have heard, ere this reaches you, of the discovery of gold at Smithfield. There is no doubt as to its truth. Mr. Vowe, the magistrate of that place, was here, and showed me a specimen in my shop yes terday. He informs us it has been dug up in a dozen different spots snico its first discovery. In addition to the various reports respecting the discovery of gold in the sovereignty, the following extracts from private letters have been published : "- Smithfield Court-house, Feb. 10. " Great excitement ! Another nugget of gold has been found, weighing 52 grains. Gold diggings within three hours of Aliwal. - Two samples of nuggets have been sent to Graaf-Reinet by the post." " ALIWAL.—The enclosed two nuggets came to hand just as the post was closiag. Gold has been discovered 1 within a few hours of this and Smithfield.

(From the Tinges of yesterday.) . . Once = exercised. It is absurd in this advanced stated civi lisation, for any nation to insist, in its treatment of other nations, upon powers which have no foundation innational right, and rest entirely upon arbitrary precedent. It would be doubly absurd toi insist upon it when such a Power as the United 'States _denies. its justice, and would resist its application in her own case to the last extreinity. If we rightly read thelaat - debates in Parliament-upon the sub :ject,, the British Government, .notwithitandlng their late instructions to the English consul at Riga, are disposed to adopt a new policrin regard to the rights of neutrals co ineident in a ll essential respects with our own, and are ex pecting in their communications with our Governmenti to enter into' a plain and permanent; understanding upon the subject. Such an, understanding is certainly due to the rank which both countries hold in the scale of nations; and to the' moral power of both in the affairs' of the'world. " We' regret to see that there is in some quarters a jealousy towards the alliance of the Western Powers, which seemitolitiVe its source in a feeling that this alliance may be turned against American interests. There is not the . 'shadow of a reason, for this. General Cass's arraignment of Lord Clarendon's remark, that the accord between Eng land - and France was perfect in regard t o b ot h hemispheres , was ' however well meant, altogether' uncalled-for and unjust: We have the - best of all possible authority for making" this statement. „Lord' Clarendon, -in a l luding to this , hemis phere,' had reference simply and exclusively to :the joint action of France and England—in which, the United States shared—in Buenos Ayres and ParaguaY- " There was not a partiele of foundation for SenatOr Cass ' s impUtation, an d. no man was more astonished than Lord Clarendon himself when he first heard of it. The aim of his remark wa s , as the whole context snowed: to whiclihive hitherto - been rivals,siy that two countries, had learnt - to know: ea d i .other better,' and, hid ' abandoned their old business of getting up and keeping up rival ,factions in dilf rePt - part s 'of , the world. , Those who " know anything about the long 'and bitter contentions of France and England and La Plata - will understand the pertinency of the allusioA.

With the information it has now before it, it wonld: not now ven ture' to give a moment's countenance to the imputations of Senator Cass ; neither can the country; without great injustice to itself as welt as to England, give them the least credit. ' Such paltry jealousy, such exaggeration of trifles as light, as air, are utterly unworthy of a great people, confident of their ability to maintain their rights, • and inspired with a sense of their national dignity. Eng-' land is now engaged in a. noble struggle—noble, though it may have been, in great' part, prompted by her .own national interests, fer.these interests are in this case iden tified with those of humanity and civilisation. She ap proaches 'us with an, open hand, and with a will ready to unite with us .in reformations for which we have long laboured singly and without appropriate effect. • It is im possible for our Government not to meet her, on so just an, pbject, with the same cordial bearing, and, utterly oblivi ous of all petty resentments and distrusts, to settle at once and for ever great principles of international law demanded ,alike by the necessities of commerce and the interests of civilisation." . A telegraphic despatch from New Orleans announces the arrival there on the sth inst. of the steamer El Do rado, with. dates froM San Francisco to the 16th of March, a fortnight later than previous advices. The steamer George La'w was to sail from , -Aspinwall for New York on the 31st of March, with' 500 passengers and $1,000;000 in gold dust. 'The El Dorado reported the gratifying fact that Lieutenant Strain and his party of explorers were safe, and had arrived on the Pacific const. The steamers leaving San Francisco on the 16th of March had over $2,000,000 in treasure. The mining accounts were still exceedingly favourable. The coun try was healthy, but .the rainy season had been un usually severe. The San Francisco markets were quite stagnant. Six failnres, including two commission mer chants, had occurred. Money was stringent, and real estate had largely declined in value. Colonel Fremont. had been overtaken in the mountains, going the central route to San Francisco. Several of his party had died of cold and hunger. The trial of Colonel Watkins, 'of the Walker Expedition, had commenced.

In a time of profound peace foreign and do mestic credit is to the Spanish minister utterly hopeless, and without a real in the treasury he dares not empire to the dignity of a loan. All he can do is to entreat heisMost Catholic Majesty's loyal subjects to pay the taxes of the ensuing quarter in advance, in consideration of which they are to receive .a discount of 8 per cent., and will confer a never-to-be-forgotten favour on their obliged and very humble servant the bankrupt Minister of Finance. Yet, even in this abasement of his Iberian compeer the Finance Minister of England may find something to envy. The Spaniard has no money and no credit ,• but then he has no balances in the Bank of England, and no deficiency bills. He has no pampered and overgrown corporation to set itself up,.with something of the prestige of official position and all the license of private action, and to warn him that he must not expect them to lend the public its own money except it bo perfectly convenient for them to do so. It is probably better to beg at Saragossa than in Threadneedle street, and to be a humble petitioner for the temporary use of other people's money than our own. If any one doubts the untenable nature of the position now taken up by the Bank of England with respect to the government, he has only to consider what position the Bank would occupy if all peculiar support were withdrawn from it, as it may be within twelve months after August, 1855. In the first place, let us suppose the Bank to lose the management of the public debt. This would be a very serious loss of a very handsome allowance, which no trading concern would willingly give up. There can, however, be no doubt that the mere allowance from government of 3401. per million on six hundred millions, and 3001.. per million on the remainder of the debt, very imperfectly re presents the advantages derived by the Bank from this agency. The convenience of depositing the dividend when it has been received, and the confidence inspired by the possession for a time of such vast sums of money, naturally attract depositors to the private branch of the institution. Besides, the plan upon which our debt is paid, by necessi tating a large accumulation of money in the hands of the Bank four times a year, gives a considerable balance to be employed for the purposes of profit, and thus indi rectly increases the advantages derived from Government connection: But the most marvellous instance of the ex traordinary advantages derived by the Bank from its connection with the Government is yet to come. The Government has borrowed from the Bank eleven millions of its capital, for which it pays interest, and, in return, the Bank is permitted to create fourteen millions of paper money, which it can lend to the Government or any of its subjects at interest. Thus the Bank is placed in that en viable position which is popularly supposed to be so difficult to obtain—that of at once possessing and eating its cake. The Bank has lent to the Government eleven millions' for svJfich it duly receives interest, and yet, by a proams, almost magical, those eleven millions are returned to its coffers, and are just as available for the purpose of making money as if they had never been lent at all. In fact, the felicity of the Bank is paralleled by nothing but the infeli citye of the Government, which, being possessed of the power of creating eleven millions of money and camnPl°ltl2- them in buying up eleven millions of its debte,rorof any purpose it thinks proper, delegates the that money to the Bank, and then borrow s from its own creature the money it has thus enabled it t o produce._ The , operation is very much the sa me as if corn a landowne nd r o sh lr o ae ti gt. large rn rent, a then lease a farm to a tenant at a ppp er e himself become sub-lessee ofh-is o t w h n e a land a l t y arae d7 t c ck too o tates of No one, except a government whose and abstruse to be regulate d b y sense , would think of borrowin g at all while it common a unexcepti on able and facile means at hand of making an money ; and the absurdi t y would not be diminished by th e fact that the very money borrowed was created by the agency of the borrower, and made over to the creditor in order to be leet to him. Toseek for a,parallel one must h ave re course to fiction , and remember the steward of the Spanish cavalier in " Gil Blas, who made so very great a favour of lending him his own money. In addition to these pri vileges, we must not omit the large public accounts which aro kept at the Bank in obedience to the diffeient statutes and rules of law, which raise the deposits of this favoured institution to an amount which private bankers look and long for in vain, and enable it in its deposit branch very greatly to counteract the restrictions placed by the law of 1844 on the branch of issue. Nor ought we, in enume rating the advantages enjoyed by the Bank, to forget that, although for all its notes above fourteen millions the Bank is obliged to retain a corresponding amount of bullion, there is an immense profit .in the mere largeness of the issue. Every fire, every loss of a coasting steamer or sail ing vessel, destroys a certain amount of this currency, and thus diminishes pro taut° the liabilities of the flank. When we consider that this institution has been in exist ence since 1694, and pass in our minds the innumerable disasters which have occurred in that 160 years, we may form some slight idea of what the Bank has gained, and what the Government might have gained by the destruc tion of the promises to pay. Such a return would be a curious one, and would form an apt sequel to the debate of the other night. For all these advantages and privi leges, the value of which is so great, that, after retaining in its hands a considerable "Rest," and paying for build ings enormbusly expensive both in their site and in their construction, the Bank can afford to its shareholders the not unsatisfactory dividend of 9 per cent., it pays to Go vernment annually 180,0001. Now, let us suppose the arr an ge m ent contemplated in the act of 1844—a repayment to the Bank of all the fun ded and unfunded debts of which it may be the holder, and the cessation, or rather the reverting- to Government of the power of managing its own debti, par_wha w keeping i ts ( ou nrliti money, and issuing its own promises to ~ ?e- e- , .bees ile of-thiai institution,-which'pationiies. Chaieellore o the Exchequer, and talks , of the public money and public privil?ges placed in its hands as if they were its own r are not saying whether Such a step would be desirable or not. Many considerations besides the words and demean our of Bank directors and their friends must be maturely weighed before any resolution can be arrived at on so mo• mentous a subject ; but this we say, that in the event of:a severance from Government, the Bank would immediately sink to the level of any other joint.stock bank in the coon• try, and cease to occupy the position in the public eyo which it now fills. • . Without involving ourselves. in the consideration of such momentous changes, there - is ,one step which we sincerely hope the Chancellor of the Exchequer will l ose no -time in. taking, for it is diCtated both by the - interests of 'the GO- Vernment and the convenience of the yublic.' . The neceii sity of - making large payments for the interest on the 'debt four times in- the, year has led to the system of keeping lsrge balances in the hands of• the Bank Of England,. and that, again, to the prietiee of moderating the evil by mean of deficiency bills and smaller balances. Why-should - not the - yearly sums to be paid by the: Bank be divided:into twelVO equal pacts, each to be made payable on -.the. :first day of every month ? Thus the mischief of - withdrawing large sums from. the circulation, and SUCldenlY,Fe . juning them would thewould be avoided, a n d-th e derangenieit would be so ,slight as to be hardly perceptible: The . fi=st 'Step i tewards a readjustment of the relations between. Clcirgrnment and the Vtahlr would be to 'do away With - the neceSeity'Of bo,r rOwing and the excuse for large deposit*. , ' . . THE BANK OF ENGLAND AND 'THE' CIVIL SERVICE. • • (Prom the Dotty News.) • , • The Times yesterday had two articlee di as k s . ' g it s course respecting the Bank of -England and the Civil Sa vice, and abusing the Liberal press, to which, by the abuse, it admits that it does notleloug- -Not to waste the reader's time by_ preliminary remarks, we shall atone° say of the article . on - the Civil Service that the Times very complacently assumes 'that the monopoly plan; like free trade, is to confer unknown blesseings on mankind, and ;erroneously, .asserts that. falsehood and evil are eminently barren. But free trade only -Conferred unkiioirn :benefits on-mankind, because the systeni of restriction was fruitful of unknown evils.. The proverb says that one falsehood begets another, and one false step, whether taken by woman or lawyer, - involves, if it cannot be retraced, innu merable others. If the. Times were not as ignorant as it is assuming, it would know, that falsehood and evil are as Prolific parents o 1 their proper offspring as truth and good ness, and it would not have propounded in another article as a harmless scheme a plan of general plunder at the dis cretion of the Government. Those who oppose the Civil Service plan are not led away, like the Times, by assertions of would-ba monopolists, and they:repudiate the assu mpt i on th a t exam i nat i ons o f crammed aspi rants f or office intellect.

Following in the wake of the Rev. Rd. Dawes, AI.D , Dean of Hereford, the Times asserts that th ere are wanting mo tiveifor self-improvement, unless the Government create them, and it exults at the effect which the mere pro pounding of the scheme has had in improving the educa tional institutions of the country. But . the re t ja a ti op o f Greek, at which the Times exults, has long been recom mended by the Liberals, while the Rev. B. Jewett, one of the authors of the scheme, advocates its retention. Th e journal has forgotten its teachers ; for while they are for an " examination on a level with the highest description of education in the country," the education given at Cam bridge and Oxford, the Tinies contents - itself with the practical education proper to the counting-house. Fear ful, too, of the effects of public discussion, now that the subject has been ventilated, the Times is for carrying the scheme into effect by an order in council, though the commissioners, in the first flush of the conception, and. in the confidence of success, recommended an act of Par liament. -From the intellectual test of discussion in Par lenient the Tines shrinks, and suggests that the 'scheme should be at once carried into effect by the Executive Go vernment. There is a conflict amongst its proposers as to what is to be aimed at, and how it is to be accomplished, and their division, the result of ignorant pretensions, is the forerunner of defeat. As to the Bank, the Mats misstates, if it do not mis take, the question at issue. The poor humble Bank, the mere creature, in its present form, of the Executive Go vernment, has never for one moment presumed to oppose the Chancellor's will ; but those who represent commerce, alarmed at the unusual demand made by the Chanoellor of the Exchequer on the capital of the country, objected. to his proceedings as an injury to trade. The Times, how ever, assails the Bauk, and summing up the privileges it ekkjoys, and the advantages it derives from being the banker of the Government, threatens it w*h the loss of them because it is not a sufficiently convenient tool for the Chancellor. We require the Bank Charter to be abolished for the good of the public, because its existence is a viela tion of the principle of free trade; the Times, regardless of the public arid of principle, objcts to it as a restraint on the extravagance or carelessness of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. In enumerating its priVileges, the Times forgi3ts the re straints imposed on it in conjunction with them, and the improper duties it is required to perform. The" State con stitutes the Bank the regulator of the currency, and directs the appropriation of its resources as if they belonged to itself. The Bank would lose nothing by losing its privi leges, if it also lost its official dignity and its burdens. Re dticed tcla :item Joint-stock Bank, instead of makin; a dividend of 9 per cent., it might make, like other Joint stock Banks, 10, 12, or even 13. Such is . the ignorance however, of the Times, that it represents the former figure as very large, and as due to the privileges enjoyed by the Bank ; while it is notorious that in the last 6 months it has been exceeded by the gains of every - Joint-stock Bank in the metropolis . In fact, the restrictions imposed on the Bank in conjunction with its privileges prevent it making a proper use of its resources. They are all impediments to the free use of capital, and injure the Bank as well as the public. The Times assumes that the Government has exclusively the power to issue promises to pay. Every man has the power; the Bank has the power,' but selfishly submits to restrictions on its own issue to secure more effectually re strictions on those of other men. When the Government as sumes the power, it invariably abuses it. Russian paper money, to quote only one example, though there is no State of Europe that will not supply others, was debased till it fell about 1840 from 40d., the ordinary value of a rouble, to 11 id. It was then restored ; but according to late intelligence from St. Petersburg, the Czar had again begun to debase it by the issue of 60,000,000 roubles, about 10,000,0001. The Times claims such a power for the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and his quarrel with the Bank is, that it =ay be a check on his possible rapacity. "No one," it say!, "except a Government whose affairs are too large and too abstruse to be regulated by the homely dictates of common sense, would think of borrowing at all, while it had an unexceptionable and ,facile means at hind of making money. To issue paper promises to pay by the Govern ment is certainly a facile means of raising a limited sum of money, but all history is as false as the columns of the Times if it be unexceptionable. Against Government becoming the issuer of promises to pay, debasing the currency to any extent it pleases, and vitiating the measure of value, there is this . unanswerable objection, that there is no means -of compelling it to keep its promise. It is a debtor who can not be coerced. Even a revolution is powerless to make it pay, for the simple and plain reason that it has nothing to pay with. It has only taxation. Though the Timer holds out to the people as a lure the levying of 20,000,000/. on themselves by the promises of the Government to pay on demand, they will never trust a debtor whom they have no means of coercing, and will prefer the old lady of Threadneedle-street to an active and rapacious chief of the 'Civil—or rather the restrictive and despotic—Service. The real 'question at issue is not between the Bank and the Government, but between the trade of the country and the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

DEATH FROM INTOXICATION.—Yesterday Mr. B;ent held an inquest on a, retii ed City tradesman, aged forty two, whose death occurred under very distressing cir. cumstances. It appears from the evidence of deceb.sed's widow that her husband was carried home last Saturday night in an insensible state, and considering that he suf fered from intoxication she had laid him on the Parlour floor to sleep off the fit, as was his usual custom. She re mained with him until a late hour, when finding he con tinued unconscious she retired to rest, having previously taken the precaution to loosen his cravat and collar. Upon going to the parlour the following (Sunday) morning, she found him lying in the same position in which she 'left him the night previous, and quite dead, life -having been extinct several hours. Mr. Hetherin g t o n, pro prietor of the Bull and Gate, said deceased came, to his house on Saturday night, and as he was the worse for liquor he refused to serve him, but as he (deceased) refused• to leave the homic before he got a glass of Tum, witness gave it him in order to get rid of him. After deceased had the glass of rum, w i tness requested some persons to assist him home, which they did. Mr. Rawlins, surgeon, performed the post-mortem:exami nation, and found that death arose from congestion of the brain produced by intoxicating liquers. It further appeared that in the course of the evening preceding his death the unfortunate man drank largely of both soi. rituous and malt liquors, besides which he smoked for several hours together. He was an inveterate tippler and smoker. The verdict was in accordatuce with the medical testimony.
