The great success which has attended the operations of the "Credit Fonder" in France is well known, and is evidenced by the fact that the original Shares (£lO paid)are now worth £5O in the market, the la.t dividend decl red being at the rate of 16 per cent. per annum, alter providing a large reserve fund. A conviction of the advantages which would be der:ved from the introduction of the same system into this country, and of the large profits attendant thereon, has 1-d to the for mation of the "Credit Fancier" for Great Britain and Ire land, which for many months past has been under careiul consideration. Although the objects of this Company are to some extent identical with those of another undertaking re cently introduced, yet the field of operation is ample forboth, and there a; e also certain lucrative branches of business pro posed to be undertaken by the "Credit Froncier " which do not appear to have been contemplated by the Company re ferred to. The transactions of the Credit Companies recently estab lished range over a variety of interests, but they do not em brace the objects of the " Credit Fonder," as the daily ex perience of parties seeking for advances on landed securities sufficiently testifies. The "Credit Fonder " will receive money on deposit at fixed rates, and will issue debentures for long or short periods Advances will be made upon all kinds of in' crests in lands, buildings, and also upon approved securities, to be repaid as may be agreed upon. One of the main objects of this company will be to make advances upon the deposit of title deeds. Borrowers, to whom time is frequently of the utmost importance, will thus be enabled to obtain Loans for short periods, without the delay and expense to which they are now invariably subjected, and to avoid which a high rate of interest will readily be paid : from this source alone the Directors anticipate that consi derable profits will arise. In addition to the employment of its own resources, the " Credit Fonder" will act as agent between the capitalist and the borrower, and will, in such cases, for an adequate commission, if desired, guarantee the sufficiency of title and security. Whilst the commercial value of landed property will thus be enhanced, and every reasonable facility granted to bor rowers, the profits derivable from the various sources of revenue to arise from the transactions of the Company will be such as to allow of the payment of large dividends to the shareholders, after making ample allowance for working ex penses and a reserve fund. In the event of no allotment of shares being made, the de posit will be returned in full. Should a ess number of shares be allotted than are applied for, the deposit will be made available towards the payment on allotment, and the balance, if any, returned to the applicant. Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be obtained at the Offices of the Mercantile Credit A ssociation, 21, Threadneedle-street, of the Brokers, and of the Solicitors.

We extract the following de spatches : "EARL RUSSELL TO LIEUTENANT-COLONEL NEALE. (Extract.) " Foreign-office, Nov, 10, 1863, "I have received and laid before the Queen your despatches dated Yokohama, Aug. 25 and 26. In my despatch of the 24th of Dec., 1862, I directed you to obtain reparation for the murder of Mr. Richardson, and the murderous assault on a lady and two gentlemen who, with Mr. Richardson, were riding on a public road open by treaty, and who drew up on the one side of the road to allow the re lationsthis barbarous and unprovocked attack you were and retainers of a great Daimio to pass. For directed to require from the Government of the Tycoon the payment of £lOO,OOO and an ample apo logy. You were further directed to require from the Prince of Satsuma the execution of the actual murderers, and the payment of £25,000 as indem nity to the relatives of the murdered man and to the sufferers from the murderous assault. With respect to the Tycoon's Government, the demands you were instructed to make have been complied with. The sum of £lOO,OOO has been paid, and a satisfactory apology has been made by the Tycoon's Ministers. Her Majesty has been pleased, in tes timony of the patience, good temper, and firmness ' with which you conducted this negotiation, to con fer upon you the Companionship of the Order of the Bath. The accomplishment of the remainder of your instructions has been found more difficult. Ten months having elapsed 'without the trial, or arres t, th e e f necessity murderers, you thought cessity to ask the assist anceyevoeunr s elf the under of Admiral Kuper, and to proceed with him to Kagosima, the capital of the Prince of Satsuma. In livered on the 12th, you and August 12, both de , your letters of August 1 communicated to the Minister of the Prince of Satsuma the demands you In the answer of the p w r e i r n e ee in o s f t s ru a c ts t u ed ma, to da m te a d k t e h . e 13th of August, it is stated that it is just that a man who has killed another should be arrested and punished by death ; that if the murderers in question can be d etecte d t h ey s h a ll body of re t a i ne rs on be punished ; and that it is not ri g h t to impe d e t h e , al reference to a murder committed by th e re tainers of the Prince in a pa p s u sa h g li e e o r f oa a d c . hie T f h w es i e th a an l s a w rg e e rs ; full before, upon a p e rson who had passage of a public uoti n daylight, any ten way months inip e ded the road, showed a fixed determination to afford no re dress. Vice-Admiral Kuper th en di recte d t h at three and detainedsteamerti by belongingto the P r i nce shou ld b e taken way of reprisals. B u t before any further communication could take place, hos tilities were commenced by the Japanese, and her Majesty's ships were fired upon from the batteries with shot and shell — an act Which i t b ecame neces sary immediately to resent. The steamers taken fired upon from were dismounted Th and various magazines exploded. It is much to be were poin t burnt. blank range;e batteries many g u were ns lamented that, as the batteries were apparently situated in about the town, the consequence of firing with shot and shell upon the batteries and maga zines should have been to set fire to the town, which Admiral Kuper says has been burnt. Many innocent persons have thus unfortunately been in jured. At the same time it is obvious that if Admiral Kuper had not returned the fire of the batteries her Majesty's squadron would . have suffered a defeat, and fresh murders of British subjects by the cruel and insolent Daimios would have been perpre trated. Her Majesty will express through the proper department her admiration of the gal lantry of her naval forces. It is my duty to request you to express to the civil servants of the Crown who accompanied you her Majesty's appro bation of their coolness and courage. Their know ledge of the Japanese language was no doubt of great value, both to you and to the naval commander in-chief. For the present the situation appears to be this :—The Jeddo Government, who, in the terms of the despatch of the Prince of Satsuma's Minister, govern and direct everything,' have made and rati fied treaties of commerce with Great Britain and other European Powers. These treaties have proved very advantageous to the main body of the Japanese people, who feel the benefits of a profitable trade with foreigners, and wish that trade to continue. But a powerful feudal aristocracy, finding silk and rice and other produce dearer in the market, and their own privileges less valuable, wish to expel all foreigners, and have obtained a decree frem the Mikado to that effect. French, American, and Dutch ships have been fired upon with a view to accomplish this object. But the European nations cannot submit to be thus de prived of an intercourse sanctioned by treaty and very beneficial to the mass of the Japanese people as well as b European nations. You will, therefore, call upon the admiral in any cases where British persons, ships, or property are attacked, to resent such outrages. In this way security for the time may be obtained. But I must wait for your further accounts before complete instructions can be given as to our policy in Japan." EARL RUSSELL TO THE LORDS COMMISSIONERS OP THE ADMIRALTY. " Foreign-office, Nov. 14, 1863, "My Lords,—l have the honour to inform your Lordships that I have instructed her Majesty's charge d'affaires in Japan that in any cases where British persons, ships, or property are attacked he should call upon the admiral commanding her Ma jesty's naval forces in Japan to resent such outrages; and I have to request that the admiral may receive such orders from your Lordships us will authorise him to act to that effect, so far OA the means at his disposal may admit of hia doing so. The Secretary of State for War some time ago gave orders for in creasing her Majesty's land forces in China by 1,000 men, so that in case of need the admiral will doubt less be able to obtain the suport of a large body of troops from China; and if with such assistance a force of 500 soldiers and marines should be avail able for service on shore in Japan, the batteries which may fire on British ships, and which are armed by the feudal chiefs for the purpose of an noying and in terruptin g foreign trade, may probably be destroyed, and security be obtained for the peace ful commerse of nations with Japan. Her Majesty's Government are equally desirous that, while British persons and property are effectually pro tected, no injury should be inflicted upon the Japa nese population. With this view it will be incum bent upon the admiral or senior officer in command on the Japanese waters to endeavour to confine hos tilities undertaken by him, as far as posstble, con sistently with due protection to British subjects, their property, and their commerce, to forts and batteries not surrounded by the dwellings and places of the non-combatant inhabitants. It is, of course, part of the duty of the officers in command of the ships to return the fire of hostile batteries wherever they may be situated, but in planning expeditions to stations on the coast, the differences between forts placed to disturb commerce and bat teries erected for the defence of populous towns should always be borne in mind, and the first men tioned of these two classes of forts should be the object of attack, in all cases where there is no abso lute necessity to attack batteries of the second class.—l am, &c., " RUSSELL."

" With reference to my preceding despatch by this mail, your lordship will be less surprised to learn that the Prince of Satsuma, hastened to a sense of the increasing danger attending his obsti nacy in withholding the redress and reparation sought at his bands, and by the urgent declarations I have of late addressed to the Tycoon's Govern ment respecting a renewal of hostilities, has him self come forward and through his envoys sought to terminate the difficulties into which he had fallen with her Majesty's Government. " I had no scruples in respect to receiving the Prince's envoys, more especially as they were ac companied by two of the Tycoon's officers, and I have the satisfaction to inform your lordship that after long and protracted discussions, extending over three days, the result has terminated in the agreement to make immediate payment of the indemnity, in an earnest written engagement not to relax in constant search for the murderers of Mr. Richardson, and to subject them to capital punish ment in the presence of one or more British officers when arrested. " I could hardly hesitate to accept these engage. ments, for it would have amounted to an unceasing and indefinite protraction of hostile action to have insisted upon the immediate arrest and execution of malefactors, while their power or ability to find or arrest them I was in no condition to assert or prove, " That the Prince of Satsuma should acknowledge the perpetrators of the murder to be deserving of death, and that he should engage not to relax in his efforts to bring them to justice, are of themselves guarantees for the future, while these admissions will, moreover, be suspended iya terrorem over him should he fail in this or any other matter to act with good faith in regard to British subjects or British interests. " The immediate departure of the mail precludes my offering any further observations upon this un expectedly sudden and satisfactory termination of a most difficult transaction. I cannot, however, omit to acquaint your lordship that the information which has reached us from various sources, including some of the officers of the Prince of Satsuma, establishes the fact that the losses sustained by the prince and the punishmentinflicted by her Majesty's squadron at Kagosima were very considerable. The destruc tion of property is estimated at £1,000,000 sterling and the number of Satsuma's adherents killed and wounded is stated to have been 1,500." " EARL RUSSELL TO LIEUTENANT-COLONEL NEALE. " Foreign• office, Jan. 11, 1864. " Sir,—l have received your despatches of 16th and 17th November, the one reporting the with drawal by the Government of the Tycoon of the order for the expulsion of foreigners, the other giv ing an account of your communications with the agents of the Prince of Satsuma, which terminated in an agreement that the prince should pay the indem nity demanded of him for the sufferers on the 14th of Sept., 1862, and should endeavour to the utmost to disuover the murderers of Mr. Richardson, and should cause them, when discovered, to be executed in the presence of British officers as witnesses of the execution. " Her Majesty's Government have received with the greatest satisfaction this intelligence of the ter mination of the pressing difficulties with Japan, and I have to convey to you their entire approval of the conciliatory and judicious manner in which you have conducted yourself generally in these matters. " Her Majesty's Government trust that they may now look forward to British intercourse with Japan being carried on without giving occasion for future collision. It is their earnest desire that nothing should occur to interfere with peaceful commerce, and they are prepared to make full allow ance for the peculiar character of the Japanese Go vernment. In short, the employment of measures of coercion or retaliation could only be warranted, in their opinion, by the necessity of prompt inter ference for the protection of the lives and properties of British subjects, or for the vindication of the honour of the British flag if assailed by wanton attacks on the part of the Government or influential nobles.

Woodhouse, which had been so long expected from the Phone, but had been detained on account of the rather un settled state of affairs in Greece, arrived on Sun day last, in five days, bringing with her naval in valids and old stores. These were transferred to the Trafalgar, 72, screw line-of-battle-ship, Captain Y. Mason, which had been awaiting her arrival, and the Trafalgar sailed on the following day for Eng land, to be paid off, taking with her several hun dred bags of biscuits for the depot at Gibraltar, and the following passengers :—Lieut. Scriven, R.E. ; Lieut. Higgins, 25th Regiment ; Ensign Jefferson, and 47 naval and military supernumeraries. The Cossack, 20, screw frigate, Capt. W. R. Rolland, left at noon on Monday for Bengazi, with Mr. Saunders, electrician to Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Co., to test the Malta and Alexandria cable, and after landing her passengers on Wednesday sailed on return to Malta, arriving here on Saturday morning. M. de Sauty, electrician to the same firm, has passed through Malta for Alexandria to test the Alexandria end. He is expected back to night, to await the arrival here of the cable ship, which is on her way from England, when he will proceed in her, with an efficient staff of engineers and workmen, to repair the fault. From the test ing already made at Bengazi it has been pretty surely ascertained that no electrical defect exists, and that the interruption is owing to some mechani cal accident, which is believed to have happened nearer to Bengazi than at first supposed. It was most probably caused by a ship's anchor. Wind and weather permitting, no difficulty is anticipated, a speedy and complete repair being effected. While on the subject of telegraphs I muust mention that the electric cable which arrived here last week in the English screw steamer Semaphore, is for the Italian Government, to replace that laid by Messrs. Newell and Co. between Otranto and Avlona, on the Albanian coast, and which has defied all attempts to repair it. The new cable was made at the works of Mr. Hen ley, the manufacturer of the Persian Gulf cable. This short line will prove of great service in com pleting the communications with Greec© and diffe rent parts of the Levant. There is a rumour that the Italian Government intends shortly to lay a cable between Marsala and Tunis, to be constructed also by Mr. Henley, which will place Malta in almost direct telegraphic communication with that regency and the province of Algeria. The Mediterranean Extension Telegraph Company have announced that the line between the Dardanelles and Solo is interrupted, and that messages must consequently be sent by post to Gallipoli. The Caradoc, despatch vessel, Lieut, Commander E. Wilkinson, has let; Messina for Marseilles, where she is awaiting the arrival of Sir Henry Buiwer, whom she will convey back to Constantinople, via Messina. Her Majesty's screw frigate Phoebe, 35, Capt. T. D. A. Fortescue, left Malta on the 27th ult., with a company of Royal Engineers, under the command of Capt. Bland and two subaltern officers, to assist in the demolition of the fortifications of Vido. Several amateurs pro ceeded in the same vessel, among them Major-Gen. Ridley. Her Majesty's screw gunboat surprise, Commander W. H. Wayte, arrived this afternoon from Corfu and Zante, having left the former place: on the 29th, and the latter on the 30th ult. She brings news of the arrival at Corfu of the Phcobe No orders had been received to stay the destruction of the fortifications at Vido. There has been an Austrian frigate in port since the 14th ult. awaiting sailing orders. She is the Conte Dsndolo, Capt. Barone S. Dawdau Olewsky, and came hero from Alexandria and Candia. The French screw steamer Jean Baptiste arrived yesterday from Marseilles, with upwards of 100 horses for the Egyptian Go vernment, and proceeded for Alexandria, after replenishing fuel and water.. Ensign A. G. Dunn, 100th Foot, a promising young officer, expired on the 22d ult. at Fort Ricasoli. The deceased was a brother of Colonel Dunn, V.C., commanding the same regiment. Major Robert Dillon, formerly of the 32d Foot, and one of the few surviving veterans of the Peninsular campaign, died on Wednesday last, at the age of 77. He had been a resident of Malta for many years, and was much esteemed. A serious accident had occurred to Mr. Brook, a midshipman of her Majesty's ship Orlando. He fell from aloft, and received such severe injuries that his life was in a very precarious state. Her Majesty's iron screw storeship Supply, Master-Com mander Bowden, arrived this afternoon from Eng land with stores for the fleet. The screw steamship Syria, of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, ar riving to-day at 4 o'clock, having made one of the fastest passages from Alexandria on record. Lady Elgin arrived at Suez on the 27th ult., in the Feroze, and after resting a few days was to leave for Alexandria on the Ist of Feb., and embark for Marseilles in her Majesty's steamer Psyche, which had room for her suite. It was not known if the Psyche would take the Malta or Messina route. The Racoon was expected to leave for Malta immedi ately on the arrival of Lady Elgin at Alexandria. The third official trial of the royal yacht Alberta, on this occasion, as on the second trial, under the personal supervision of Rear-Admiral R. S. Robin son, Controller of the Navy, took place in Stokes Bay, near Portsmouth, on Thursday. Captain his Serene Highness Prince Leining en, with Sir C. Phipps and General Grey, from Osborne, and Vice- Admiral the Hon. Sir Fredrick W. Grey, K.C,8., with Rear-Admiral the Hon. J. W. Drummond, from the Admiralty,were on board during the trial. Before the yacht left Portsmouth harbour for the trial ground, Rear-Admiral Robinson intimated through, the officer in command of the yacht, Capt. H. Broad - head, to the newspaper correspondents at the po r t, who were present a ccording to their usual cus t om on th e occasion of any tr ial of interest, that he, as the Controller of the Navy, objected to any report of the day's proceedings being made public. Under these unprecedented circumstances our correspondent de clined to go out of the harbour in the yacht. We are unable to furnish any report o f th e tr i al, and the re ports which we have already published are so far i nco mplete as the results of Thursday's experiments might in any way have b orne re l at i on to t h em. H ow far this vessel is likely to fulfil all the duties for which she was constructed may very easily be sur mised from the fact of their renewed trials. Hoc far she actually will fulfil those duties will very speedily be ascertained from the future metamor phoses she must undergo before being pronounced fit for the Queen's service, if indeed in the mean time she should not be condemned as altogether unfit, and her machinery taken out and placed in some other vessel.

Of these works, which pair naturally together, Sieldiog matter for a plea sant dash of arecdoticol gossip over the Court of Louis XIV,, the new number of the Elitiburi,h J? view speaks as follows Without Duvall the Memoirs of Saint-Simon would perhaps never have existed in their com plete form ; without Saint-Simon the dry and frigid daily annals of Dangeau would never have been printed. Dangeau is the stock, incapable of pro ducing palatable fruit itself, on which the most luxuriant and arom a ti c gr owth of French literature in that age was grafted. Dangeau, in his daily task of four and forty years, never rises beyond the level of the Court Circular; he witnesses the most im portant events of an eventful reign without an ex pression of wonder or emotion; even his anecdotes are without point; he is as exact and as unmeaning as a piece of clockwork. saint-Simon, on the con tram painted in colours that will never die every figure and every scene, the bare mention of which suffices to his mechanical anti-type. In the steurkr entries of the. one it is . scarcely possible to trace more than a feeble pulsation of passions 'which might have touched the soul of even a master of the ceremonies; in the torrent of eloquence and of scorn poured forth by the other, Versailles lives again, with all its conflicts, its follies, its jealousies, and its power. Dangeau was a gilded insect, hovering about the Court parterre, or enthroned upon its blossoms; Saint-Simon was a mind, intent to try the Conzt by the touch and standard of honour, rectitude, and truth. The former shared the pleasures and the honours of Louis XIV. with out limit ; the latter cared little for his pleasures, and never possessed his confidence; but stood lc hind his throne and upon his tomh to be the avenger of his faults, even to the third and fourth genera tion. The easy and prosperous Marquis cared not to cast a look beyond the galleries of Versailles, in which he spent his existence ; his conception of immortality was an apotheosis on a ceiling. How little could he have conceived it pos sible that he was day by day preparing materials for one who was to speak of all he adored in the language of doom—to consign himself and all his silken fellows to the pillory of history,and to herald by lurid and prophetic flashes the approach of that storm which the monarchy of France was not des tined to survive ! Dangean, born in the King's own year, had seen the dawn and the meridian of a gay, splendid, and victorious reign, and his idolatry of the Royal Sun of France was at least. sincere. When Saint-Simon came to Court, 37 years younger, the shadows were already lengthening ; an age of cant had succeeded to an age of vice ; the gloom of religious bigotry was followed by the shame of unsuccessful war and the horror of unna tural deaths : long before he had completed his task the grave had closed upon Louis, and the heavens themselves were gathering over France. - _/.,,24, .&- PRICE ..4d.

STATE OF TRADE, MANCHESTER, Feb. s.—lt is not often that commercial men gather much that is satisfactory from a Queen's Speech, but there was decidedly a better feeling in the cloth-market yesterday on receipt of that d ocument in Man chester, and there was decidedly more inquiry from parties who had been holding orders in suspense. The hopes of a preservation of peace were no doubt considered satisfactory, and some purchases of considerable magnitude were made, probably in anticipation of some advance on the depressed prices of the day. To-day, however, though the impression derived from the debates in Parliament is quite as reassur ing as anything in the Royal Speech, the extent of buying has rather disappointed expectation. There has been an active inquiry with a view to testing prices, but manufac turers, having advanced their quotations a little, very little business has been effected. No doubt buyers in some cases have been desirous to await India advice; which are ex pected to hand to 'morrow, and which, if favourable, may possibly give a more decided tone to busines s a t t h e begin ning - of next week. There is a strong feeling in f avour of non-intervention among commercial men in the Danish and German war as well as in the American struggle, and a ro quisition for a meeting to memorialise Government in favour of that view has been in the course of signature to-day. In yarns we have had a rather better day than for some time past, and in shipping yarns many who have born hesitating to give out orders have placed them to-day, so that a fair amcnnt of business has been done. There has been no change of prices, which remain as at the beginning of the week. In home trade yarns there has been a better feeling, and a moderate business has been effected atTuesday's prices. On the whole we have a better feeling in all departments of the market, but only a moderate business is offering, and buyers seem indisposed to ,Five any advance in price. BRADFORD, 4th.—To-day - a cheerful tone prevailed in the market, although there was little business. All seemed to be waiting to learn something as to the course which this country is likely to take with reference to the Deno- German war, and consequently refrained from operating beyond immediate requirements. The business in wool is exceedingly restricted, but some small lots have changed hands, particularly in bright-haired descriptions; and, although there is an annual scarcity in ,the classes of wool most in request there is a soften in g tendency in prices, There is hardly anything doing in worsted yarns, and nearly all counts, especially two-folds, which have been long ne glected, may be had on decidedly easier terms. The export houses are, of course, doing nothing, the disturbed state of Germany preventing them from operating. The home houses are doing very little. There is a rather better state of things in the piece branch. There are rather more offers for the American trade, and a few orders have been placed. A few French buyers have operated to a trifling extent. Some of the Manchester merchants are also doi ng some thing. Prices suffer slightly, but are irregular. N OTTIN GHAM, sth.—There was a pre tt y fair attendance at this Exchange-hall to-day, and there was a better feel ing in the demand for lace yarns at quite as much money as on Tuesday ; in some cases rates unobtainable on that day were made. In hoisery yarns there was not much doing, and prices remain firm. Spun silk without alteration. There is less doing in brown net, but no alteration in prices can be quoted.
