EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (From the Tines:) PARIS, SATURDAY, 4 O'CLOCK P.M. The Queen Donna Maria arrived at Havre on Wednesday evening; but up to the date of cur last accounts from Havre no ship of war had yet made its appearance there to take the young Queen to her destination. The Miguelite scrip incurred a woful fall on the arrival of the news from Lisbon, through London, of the 20 h, by which the formal acknowledgment of the Queen Donna Maria by your Government became known. From the price of 61, which the scrip had been pushed up to, it suddenly went down to 45. Great efforts have since been made by the principal agent of the loan to raise the courage of the dealers in the scrip, and he has succeeded in obtaining a better, though nominal, quotation. The recovery of the price, however, was not very considerable, the scrip being at last quoted at 52. There are accounts from Madrid of the 21st, up to which date the King was still alive, and in the same state as be had been the previous fortnight. He was not considered on the point of death, and yet his state was such that his sudden dissolution would not surprise his medical attendants. Don Carlos was still in Portugal, less desirous than ever of removing f u rth er fromSpaiu„ According to our last accounts from Toplitz, the diplomatic meeting held there has been somewhat suddenly broken up. M. Ancillon had returned to Berlin, and M. Tatischeff, the Russian Minister, bad left Toplitz. The cause of this sudden inter ruption of the diplomatic pourparlers. so long before prepared and spoken of, is said to have been a pro position made by the Emperor Nicholas in autograph letters to his brother Monarchs of Austria and Prussia, that a regular Congress should be held in September at Troppau, to be attended by the three Sovereigns in person, and by as many Plenipoten tiaries as it might seem necessary to invite to a participation of the deliberations. The late debates in your House of Commons respecting Poland, and the unqualified admission made by your Ministers that Russia has violated her engagements respecting that ill-fated country, are said to have made such an impression on the mind of Nicholas, that he is anxious to make some show of atonement to the civilized world, by appearing desirous to consult the wishes of the parties who signed the treaty of Vienna, and adopting their suggestions respecting the inter nal organization of Poland. The Russian manifesto .has, as you will observe, been made a theme of abundant comment by the French papers of all poli tical shades and opinions, and even the Moniteur has been authorized to say a word or two of its own in reference to it. The language of the Moniteur on such a subject is naturally looked upon as the language of the French Ministers, and comparisons are made between it and that which was held by your Ministers on the occasion of Mr. C. Fergus son's motion, which are by no means illustrative of boldness and energy in the system of the juste mi lieu. Some of the independent papers observe that, doubtless, the English papers will cut up the Russian manifesto in a far less sparing manner than the chief organ of the French Ministry. Your columns, and those of some your more respectable contemporaris, have proved that those anticipations had not been formed at random. Gold continues scarce in Paris, and the premium upon it is as high as :20 francs per 1,000, that is, nearly 1 a per cent. The principal cause of this scarcity is owing to large importations lately made to different parts of the world, but chiefly to Greece, where King OthCs Government has resolved to coin a portion of the produce of the last loan. (From Galignani's lies.s-enger.) The Temps states that Don Miguel is pledged for only one-half of the loan that bears his name, the other half having been contracted in the name and on the account of the Duchess of Berry, to support the expense of war in La Vendee, and sustain the courage and zeal of the Chouans in that part of the country till the moment should arrive for calling them to arms. This journal also represents that at the dinner given by the Emperor of Austria at Prague to Charles X. and his family, the Duchess of Angouleme showed great dissatis factionbecause the Emperor refused her the title of Majesty, although she caused herself to be an nounced as her Majesty Queen Marie-Therese. From various articles in the Constitutionnel Alcufi cleatclois, it would appear that the Legislative Council intends to declare that the late resolutions of the Helvetic Diet and its composition are not in harmony with the Federal Compact of 1813 ; and it also seems that the separation of Neufchatel from Switzerland is imminent, inasmuch as such separation is considered to be the only means of saving it from falling into the revolutionary torrent, because the people will not prefer vain poli:ical theories to institutions founded upon experience. Extract ofa letter of the 26th August from Zu rich :—" Public opinion pronounces itself more and more decidedly against the canton of Neufchatel, which, being partly Prussian and partly republican, arrests the march of affairs. The deputies from Vaud are ch arge d t o urge th e D t et t o c h an ge this state of things. The Diet has applied to the Go vernment of Neufchatel for the liberation of the presoners for political offences ; but no answer has been received. It appears that the canton, on all important affairs, must first consult the Cabinet of Berlin. The Diet is only waiting for the arrivel of the Neufchatel deputies, to enter upon a constitu tional reform. The high aristocratical party has little support; passions are becoming more calm, and the present moment is favourable for deliberation." The Augsburg Gazette of the 27th August, con tains the following of the 22d from Vienna : " The exchange of couriers is very frequent, and important negotiations appear to be on foot. Swit zerland gives much uneasiness to our Cabinet, as the perplexed state of affairs in that country may lead to serious consequences. Much good is ex pected from the Commission of Inquiry lately ap pointed at Frankfort.

Pants, Auc. 31.—0 n Tnutsday evening the Queen received the Ministers of the Interior, of Justice, of Com merce, and for Foreign Affairs, the Duchess de Broglie, the Countess de Flahaut, the Belgian Minister, the Prefect of the Seine, and Count Lobru, yesterday, at 11 o'clock. The Queen, the Princesses, and the young Princes, at tended by the Ladies of Honour of her Majesty, and the Princesses, set out on their journey to Cherbourg. Apartments are being prep tred at the Tuileries for the reception of the King and Queen of the Belgians, who will come to Paris after King Louis Philip has returned from his tour, and the national fete of the Belgians is over. Queen Donna Maria arrived at Havre on the evening of Wednesday. The Journal du Havre expresses its astonishment that the honours usually shown to crowned beads were not observed on this occasion, particularly when such honours were shown her when she landed at Brest, in 1831, and when she embarked at Cherbourg for London. The Minister of Commerce and Public Works has just given orders to the Prefects of the Departments to trans mit to him without delay a detailed account of the finan cial situation of all the communes of the kingdom, with respect to the debts with which they are burdened. The Bulletin des Lois, published yesterday, occupies 100 pages; it contains the Convention concluded with England for the repression of the slave trade, and that concluded between France and the other Governments on the banks of the Rhine, concerning the navigation of that river. The Patriote Suisse has the following :—" We have just received an account of the result of the meeting of the delegates from the Cantonal Committees of the Grand Association for ensuring the safety of the Federacy which was held two days ago at Zurich. The meeting resolved upon an address to the Diet in energetic terms to the fol lowing effect:- 1. That the members of the Conference of Samen, and the chiefs of the rebels who invaded Russnocht and Basle country be brought to trial before . our Federal tribunal. 2. That the town of Basle, which, during three years, has been the cause of all the troubles which have agitated the Confederation, be made responsible for all the losses and expenses it has occasioned, and that the military now in occupation of it be not withdrawn till the amount is paid. 3. That the town of Basle do pay to the country all the damage it has sustained from the non-execution of the decrees of the Diet. 4. That the Federal troops do evacuate Basle country within four days. 5. That the Federal Commanders, whose political conduct has created a well founded mistrust, be dismissed. 6. That the submission of Schwitz being complete, the Federal troops be entirely withdrawn from the canton. 7. That the Diet do employ all the means at its dis disposal , and compel Neufchatel to fulfil its duties towards the Confederation ; and, in case of refusal, to cause it to be occupied by troops. Finally. It was resolved that the Committees should use all their influence with the Grand Councils to obtain a Federal Constitutional Assembly in proportion to the population. PARIS, Auc. 31.—The official part of the Moniteur contains a Royal Ordinance promulgating the conventions concluded on the 30th November, 1831, and 22d March, 1833, relative to the suppression of the negro slave trade, the ratification of the last of which was exchanged at Paris on the 12th of April.—Moniteur, Sept. 1. PARIS, Au°. 31.—M. Spiers, Minister of Commerce, will set out to night for London. He is accompanied by M. Dittmer, Inspector General of the Studs, M. Legrand, Director of the Bridges and Highways. and M. David, Secretary-General to the Supreme Board of Commerce. M. There will return between the 15th and 20th Sept.— Journal des Debuts, Sept. 1. The Moniteur makes the following observations on the late article in the Russian official Journal : " The Journal de St.Petersburgh has just published, on the Poli&h question, an article, the grace and measured love of which contrasts singularly with the paradoxical character of the conclusions with which it is summed up. The writer of this article pretends at first that the treaty of Vienna contains only a passive adherence to the measures already adopted by Austria. Prussia, and Russia, with respect to Poland, the other Powers parties to that treaty, had really no share in the creation of that kingdom, and has now consequently no right to exercise any control over the conditions of its existence. Such an assertion is too little in accordance with the facts, and the general spirit of the transactions of 1814 and 1815 ; it is contrary to the very text of the treaty of Vienna, to be considered as a serious argument. Accordingly the Russian publicest soon abandons it to take his stand on a less vulnerable ground. He latiours to prove that the last measures applied to Poland are not in opposition with the stipulations of the acts of the Congress. To ap preciate the value of the arguments which he ac curruhites for this purpose, we should be obliged to enter into considerations of facts and law which would lead us too far, bat which may find their place at another time. It wi:l suffice for the moment to state, that even at St. Petersburg!' the validity of the stipulations entered into in 181 s to secure to the Poles a distinct administra tion, a representation, and national institutions, is acknow ledged in principle. Hence also must be acknowledged the right of all the Governments who were parties to those stipulations to examine if they remain i❑ force ; and when they think they have been directly or indirectly attacked, to demand explanations from the Russian Cabi net, and appreciate, if necessary, the value of such expla nations. It will be seen that the St. Pctersburgh Ga zette shows but little consistency in declaring, that " the Emperor need not suffer the intemference of a foreign Power in the internal affairs of Poland." On this point the journalist is in some degree defeated by himself. He is not, in our opinion more happily inspired in his attempts to explain the overstraining of the Polish con stitution, which he appears to consider as the punish ment of the insurrection of 1830. One of two things must be the case ; was the insurrection the work of a monarchy? Under this hypothesis how could it re lieve the Government from the engagements contracted towards the mass of the nation ? Was this truly national ? D.d it express the wishes, the sentiments, the wants, of the great majority of the Polish people ? It may be so, but we do not think it is the interest of Russia to present the facts under such an aspect. We do not live in an age in which justice permits, and prudence counsels a Go vernment to proclaim a whole nation worthy of chastise ment, and to employ towards it a pretended right of con quest which civilization recognises no longer, at least in this sense." The Courrier Francais takes a similar view of the subject, dwelling particularly on the argument that the text of the treaty must be taken in conjunction with the negotiations which preceded it, in which the sepe rate nationality of Poland was specially insisted on, and made a sine qua non by the English plenipotentiaries. The Journal des Debats says that the presentation of Lord William Russell's letters of credence does not merely recognise Queen Donna Maria, since her royalty de jure was long since acknowledged, but places her in the direct enjoyment of ail the subsisting treaties by which England is bound to protect Portugal from the attacks of Ilourrnont or any other foreigners. The Augsburg Gazette of 26th inst. has the following of the 21st, from Vienna:--" We learn from Prague th it their Imperial Majesties made their solemn entry into that city on the IGth, on which occasion the greatest enthusiasm was manifested by the people. The Emperor was perfectly recovered from his indisposition. Many distinguished persons had gone to Prague to pay their respects to his Majesty Charles X., the Duchess of Angouleme, and the Crown Prince of Prussia, who arrived on the 18th, and dined with the Emperor and Empress. It is not yet known how long the Court will reside at Prague, but it is probable that it will not return before the middle of Sep tember. Letters from Sweden state that Prince Miloseh is actively engaged in the organization of the new districts lately incorporated with Servia. He employs his utmost efforts to improve the state of the country by a well-regu. fated administration. Prince Mi 10.6 is fully restored to the good graces of the Sultan. A courier from Naples has arrived here, and immediately set out again for Prague. The Neapolitan Ambassador at our Court also departed for the same place." The same paper gives the following, dated Munich, Aug. 22 :—" The last accounts from Greece, which come to the middle of last month, mention that peace and order continue to prevail in that country, although the new or gan.zation meets with obstacles, and, therefore, advances slowl y " • The Genoa Gazette announces that Cardinal Giusti niani, the Pope's Nuncio, recently sent away from Portu gal by Don Pedro, had arrived at that port, accompanied by Father Camillo Pallaviani and other jesuits, who quitted Lisbon by order of the Government. DUTCH PAPERS. THE HASUE, Aug. 29. The Haarlem Courant gives a long account of the review of the troops lately com posing the garrison of the citadel of Antwerp, on the heath of Gorsel. General Chasse delivered to General Fauvage and the superior °Meets the medals designed for the troops which he had received from the King, and th e y were then distlibuted to the men by companies. The medal is well executed, representing on one side a regular pentagon, on which are the words "Citadel van Antwerpen ;" on the reverse, in a laurel crown, sur mounted by his Majesty's crowned cypher, "Dee. 1832." The medal is worn attached to a light blue riband. At 11 o'clock his Majesty arrived on the ground ac companied by the Prince of Orange and Prince Fre derick, the three young Princes with the Queen and the Princesses of Orange, Frederick and Albert of Prussia. The concourse of spectators was very great, numbers having come from a great distance to see the King and the Royal Family, who were repeatedly welcomed with the most joyful acclamations. General Chasse received his Majesty, who in the most cordi.l manner shook hands with the veteran soldier. The King and the Princes with a numerous and brilliant staff, rode along the lines, after which the troops filed off before his Majesty. Their fine appearance, especially that of the artillery, was greatly admired by the spectators. The R Family on leaving the ground to return to the Loo were again enthusiastically cheered, and General Chasse received the most unequi vocal testimony of the esteem of the spectators. Boas LE Due, AUG. 27.—We hear that the negoci ations between the Dutch and Belgian Plenipotentiaries, relative to the communication between Maestrecht and this province, were continued the day before yesterday. The Dutch Commissioners are said to have been received at Hasselt in the most friendly manner by the Commis sioners of Belgium. THE HELDER, Mick 26.—His Majesty's ship, the Zeeuw, Captain Ryk, arrived in this read to day THE HAGUE, AUG. 29.—A1l the Ministers who were here went yesterday to the Loo, it is supposed in conse quence despatches from London relative to the meeting of the Conference on the 24th, at the breaking up of which the next meeting was put off indefiniiively. Some persons affirm that the question to be now discussed is, how far the Dutch Government cau make, on its part, any proposals to the German Diet, respecting the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg. It is not known whether M. Veretalk Van Soelen is coming home or not. A steam boit lies ready at Helvoetsluys, to go to London with despatches. We hear, also, of a discussion in the Ger man Diet on the subject of Luxemburg. One of the Belgian Ministerial Papers says that Aus tria, Prussia, and two other states, bad declared in the Diet that they could not assent to any arragement respect ing Luxemburg, and that their rights would be maintained to the utmost; that it was under consideration to send plenipotentiaries to represent the Diet at the Conference in London, but that none were appointed, doubts having arisen respecting the Power from which these p'enipoten tiaries should receive their instruction., if such should be required when the Diet was not assembled, and that it lay between Prussia and Austria. These accounts further say that the Diet had resolved, in the same sitting, to reinforce the garrison of Frankfort, alleging as a reason the discovery of a plot to set at liberty the individuals confined for political offences, and that Wurtemburg hail protested against this measure.

BRUSSELS, Aua. 29.—The Royal Adelaide steam boat has brought dispatches from the Belgian Plenipoten tiaries at London for the Government. They were imme diately forwarded from Antwerp to Brussels. The Maniteur Beige announces that the cholera conti nues to rage at Willebroek. The same disorder has lately appeared to an alarming extent in the House of Correction at St. Bernard's, and in the military prison at Alost. All measures calculated to check the progress of the disorder were immediately taken in those places, and had happily abated the intensity of the disease. The Conference at Zongboven quietly terminated its career on the 24th. More fortunate than that at London, it has at last led to a final result. For the next fiftee❑ days successively, 200 men of the garrison of Maestrieht, with arms and baggage, will pass through Maseyk. There has also been a Conference on a smell scale at Weert, which, it seems, related to the fixing of the bound aries. Two Dutch and two Belgian Lieutenants came to the spot for the purpose. CHAMBER OF REPRESENTATIVES. -SITTING OF AUGUbT 28. The Order of the Day was the debate on the budgets. M. Serar examined that of the War Department, the expenses of which were enormous. He thought, also, that the expenses of the foreign missions were also too great, and that instead of ambassadors with enormous salaries envoys would suffice. if there was a wish to reduce the public expenditure, the salaries of the Arch bishop of Malines, of the Bishops, the Presidents of the Courts of Caseation and appeals of the Governors, Bsc., might be curtailed. The pensions, especially that of the Pae4enr, might he diminished. _ _ M. de Brouckere also complained of the bad and extra vagant system of finance. M. Dumortier said it was usual for the Ministers to give an account of the foreign relations of the Stare pre viously to the discussion of the budget, and hoped they would do so now. The Minister of Justice acknowledged that such was the custom, and the Ministers had always communicated to the Chambers the state of the negociations whenever they could do so, but now he could only say that negociations of the highest importance are on foot, and that it would be contrary to the interest of the State to wake any pr.:- mature communications on the subject. M. Dumortier said he should take up the subject again, on the discussion of the budget of the department of foreign affairs. BaussEns, Auo. 30.—Accounts from the camp at Castraux say that opthalmia prevails to an alarming degree. Of 4,000 men now in the camp above 400 are afflicted with this disorder ; the neighbouring hospitals are insuf ficient to con tain them, and it is necessary to send those who are the most slightly affected to places at a consi derable distance. M. Smits, one of the commissioners sent to London with our plenipotentiaries, has returned to Brussels. In the Chamber of Representatives, on the 29th, the order of the day was " the discussion of that part of the budget of 1633 concerning,the public debt." The discussion occupied the whale of the sitting, and was adjourned till the following day, This debate, which is necessarily full of calculations and figures, "is the most important (says the Courier Beige) that we shall have during the discussion of the budget." It then enters into a pretty detailed analysis of the whole, and concludes—. " From all that precedes it teems to result that with out despairing of the future, it is, however, time to deny to foreigners, whoever they may be, the right of loading us with fresh burdens, which would be intolerable. Our diplomacy has really in its bands the future fate of Bel gium. Let us resist the unjust demands of Holland, and it is not wholly undone. But if not contented with having already irrevocably laid on the country burdens heavier than those of which we complained before the revolution, the Powers should think of augmenting those burdens by an addition of above five millions of francs an nually, and this at a time when we shall need extraor dinary resources to build fortresses on the frontier next to Holland, to arm a fleet, to pay pensions, we must declare even now our resources will prove insufficient, and the independent existence of Belgium will be en impossi bility."—Brussels Papers, Aug. 31. FRANCFORT, Auc. 27.—1 t now appears certain that the intended visit of the Emperor of Russia to Bohemia will really take place, and that his Majesty will then meet the Sovereigns of Austria and Prussia.

WITCH ICS IN LEEDS.—Two wretched women have lately been visiting Leeds, who profess to have the power, among other sublime endowments, of discovering and disclosing the secrets of futurity, and such is the cre (lnlay and infatuation of no small number of the people, that the pretensions of such stupid and wicked impostors never want fools to believe them. It seems that the two gifted women, whose names are Bridget and Mary Cole man, with all their supernatural skill and knowledge, could not perceive that in Leeds they were likely to get bo•b into disgrace and into prison. On Saturday they were arrested while attempting to gull a man of the name of Matthew Brown, and on Tuesday they appeared at the Courtshouse, a new and not a very propitious scene for their incanta ions. When they were brought before the Magistrates, they pretended to be both (leaf and dumh— no human voice could they bear, no human invocation could induce them to speak, and in high and ludicrous style they supported their assumed characters. The Ma gistrates had the hardiho ,d to sentence these fearful rulers of the spirits of the air to three months imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction ; and when they had been reconducted to prison, it appeared that a miracle had been wrought upon them —though they had been deaf, they could bear each other speak, and though they had been dumb, they could make the walls of their cell resound with a strong Irish brogue.--Leeds Times. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 3, 1833. The French Papers of Friday and Saturday mention the arrival of the young Queen of POR TUGAL at Havre on the 28th ult. No ships of war had yet appeared to carry her away. The KING'S Speech on proroguing Parlia ment had been the subject of much comment in Paris, and had rather a slight chilling effect on'Change. The Moniteur makes several sensible and pertinent remarks on the Russian Cabinet's late official defence of its war of extermination against the Poles. The remarks are temperate and guarded, but evidently intended, as in the following sentence, to bear a significant mean ing—to operate as a useful hint :—" We do not live in an age in which justice permits, and prudence counsels a Government to proclaim a whole nation worthy of chastisement, and to employ towards it a pretended right of conquest which civilization recognizes no longer, at least in this sense." A Mr. GEORGE FARREN, interested, we should imagine, either in the Bank of England or in some private Bank, but putting himself forward as a simple resident Director of the Asylum, Foreign and Domestic Life Assurance Company, has published a pamphlet of some two and thirty pages, on the subject of joint stock banks. His object is to show that the results of joint-stock banks in London must be, to the Proprietors, loss and endless squabbles among themselves ; to their customers, uncer tainty, want of facility, and apprehensions of abused confidence ; to the Bank of England, ultimately great gain from a variety of causes, and to the mercantile world generally, agita tion, speculation, litigation ; any thing but reparation or consolation. A fearful list of calamities put into fearful language. The only marvel is that Mr. GEORGE FARREN thought it necessary to warn people against consequences which, f likely to occur, carry with them their own warning. Any one entering into a new scheme, is, or ought to be, prepared for the possibility of loss and squab bles that may arise in any partnership. The customers of bankers are the last people who need Mr. FARREN'S friendly warning; for if the uncertainty, want of facility, and apprehen sions of abused confidence, be greater in a Joint-Stock Bank than at a private Bank, of course depositors will not leave their old esta blishments ; but we have been weak enough to believe, that it was a grievance, that the trades man of Westminster or London were aggrieved by being obliged to open an account with 5001. in his hand at the Bank of England, or go to a private bank with the security of which he was not altogether so well satisfied. It is very likely that money borrowers will, many of them, either be obliged, when a joint stock bank is established, to keep their accounts at their old bankers, or procure cash credits at the new bank, on the system practised in Scotland ; but there are many tradesmen in London who have seldom occasion to borrow, whose bills are good, and whose main want at present is a bank of deposit affording them greater facilities than the Bank of England, and greater facilities than the existing private banks. As to the gain joint-stock banks are ultimately to occasion the Bank of England we must beg leave to take the opinion of the Bank itself in preference to that of Mr. FA RREN, upon the point. It is strange that the Bank should have so violently opposed itself to this source of gain, that they should have struggled so hard for the maintenance of their monopoly, and should so indecently have insulted public opinion by the language they used after the declaration of Lord ALTHORP, that joint-stock banks should not be prohibited by law. Mr. FARREN cannot suppose that the Bank was actuated in its opposition by any tender feelings for the losses of the unhappy subscribers and customers of such banks for he asks in a threatening tone, " Would they, (the Bank) ought they, in justice to their proprietary and to the Government, to permit repeated acts of aggression against them, without severe re taliation ? " In order that there may be no doubt of his meaning, he before asked "Is it not notorious that the Bank of England could, by sale of exchequer bills, or otherwise, with draw nearly altogether their notes from circula tion in London ?" So much for putting the whole circulating medium of the country into hands of a private and privileged corporation. There is certainly no saying how far the infatua tion of a monopoly may go ; but we still think Mr. FARREN'S fee-fa-fum question may be an swered by another, "Is it not notorious that men hare the power with razors and other in struments to cut their own throats ?" It is very true that they have, and men often meet with crosses and losses which make them inclined to use this power, and sometimes do lead them actually to cheat their credi•ors by using it. The law, however, does not contemplate that bodies of men will cut their own throats, or act against their evident interest. Now, if the Bank should really ever be insane enough to do what Mr. FARREN threatens, not only would it incur great pecuniary loss, but raise such a storm of public indignation as would cause the annihilation of its exclusive privileges in less than one year Even Lord ALTHORP would be cured of his single bank of issue theory. The fact is that the Bank of England will not gain, in the sense understood by Mr. Farren, by the establishment of Joint Stock Banks. The pri vate deposits of the Bank of England have for many years been accumulating, and the tendency of having private banks of deposit limited to six partners, would have been to make, in the long run, those deposits increase till they had obtained the custom of every one in London thay would allow to open an account with them. Such was the tendency of the old law, a ten dency which will receive a powerful check, if it be not altogether arrested, by the establishment of a Joint Stock Bank, of whose safety there can be as little doubt as there has hitherto been of the safety of the Bank of England. The Bank will, therefore, not gain in the sense meant by Mr. FARREN. We believe that it will gain in security, for the real interests, even of a monopoly, are strengthened by competi tion. The rivals ppssessed by the chartered banks of Scotland, keeps them in a state of greater security than the Bank of England without rivals, has been, is, or will be. The insecurity of the Bank of England has bee wonderfully increased by the very course which Lord ALTHORP has taken to diminish it. Buts the establishment of joint-stock banks of deposit in London, is a slight counterbalance in the way of freedom, and therefore of security, against the legal tender clause of the new Charter. - The mercantile world generally, which Mr. FARNEN also graciously condescends to warn, wants, we imagine, simply to be let alone. Mr. FA RREN, by advocating an intermeddling system on the part of the Legislature, and the mainte nance of monopolies, trenches upon that plain principle, and we hope that the time will shortly arrive when the bare fact of a proposition trenching upon the let alone system in commer cial dealings, will be counted sufficient cause at once either to excite pity for the proposer's blindness, or suspicions of his motives.

BRIGHTON, SEPT. 1.-This stupendous structure has shared the fate of the Brunswick Theatre, but happily the destruction of it has not been attended with less of life. It fell on Friday evening with a tremendous crash, and the noise it made resembled the distant rumbling of thunder. This immense edifice was commenced about twelve months since, under the superintendence of an eminent botanist, Mr. Phillips, of this town, whose knowledge of horticulr ure is very extensive. The building was composed of iron, weighing between four and five hundred tons, and it formed the largest dome ever constructed, exceeding in size that of St. Peter's in Rome by upwards of 8,000 superficial feet. The gl..st int, which was to have been commenced on Monday, would have taken a long time to complete, requirin4 nearly two acres of glass to cover the dome. The plinting had been commenced some time, the choicest plants had been collected, and a great many eminent persons were contri butors, including the Duke of Devonshire. The work had progressed rapidly, and the building pro mised to stand a monument of architectural beauty. A great portion of the scaffolding had been re moved, and on Friday afternoon the who'e of it was taken down, and everything appeared firm. In an hour or two afterwards, however a portion of the iron work was heard to crack, and the workmen, having timely notice of the same, removed from the premises. The cracking continued for some time, and then fears were entertained fir its safety. The principal gardener had scarcely left the interior when it came tumbling down with an awful crash; immense ribs of iron snapping asunder in ten thousand pieces ; and a great part of it, from the height it fell, was hurried several feet deep in the earth. The destruction of this great edifice is ac .ted for only by the immense weight of iron at top, when unsupported by the scaffolding, folded in, and forced its way to the ground. The ruins were visited yesterday by several hundred persons. It was situated at the Western extremity of the town, and would have formed one of the most splendid ornaments in the world. We have not heard the estimated damage, but it is cer tain that it could not be rebuilt under several thousand pounds. The principal loser is, we understand, a gentle man named Goldsinid ; and one of our builders, it is supposed, cannot have lost far short of five hundred pounds. DISTRESSING CASE.—An inquest was held yesterday evening, at the Anchor, in Upper Thames street, before Mr. Payne, the City Coroner, touching the death of a laundress, named Lucy Turner, formerly living in Poppin's-court, Fleet-street, aged 40. It appeared that the unfortunate woman went on Saturday evening to deliver some things she had been mangling to the house of a Mr. Devine, Nu. 233, Upper Thames.street, where she fell with a heavy basket over two steep steps into the passage of the house, and where she was shortly after found in a dying state. Mr. Houghton, of Earl-street, a mr geon, deposed that death took place almost instantly, i n consequence of her having completely dislocated her neck. Eliza Long said she lodged in the house, and, on running to the deceased's assistance, she found her head against the wall, with her neck nearly doubled. Coroner —Can you account for the filling in any way? Witness—My opinion is that she fell from weakness. I know that on that day she had had only 31Ibs. of potatoes amongst herself and her six children ! She formerly lived in the house, and must have known the two steps. She told me that on that day she had eaten only one potatres Probably (said witness) she might have been attacked with a fit. She had not eaten any meat, neither had her chil dren, for some days before. By a Juror—She was a w id ow . Verdict—" Accidental death." tits l3AY.)
