• - drtv *At* r , o , D oN, litaNl) AY, MAY 6, 1844. • We implore every :Member .of` Parliament who de.; sires to seethe commercial and monetary condition. ethis country establi.shed on a prosperous and per ba.3i3, ,tO be in his place, in Uouse of %Commons, this. evening. Owing to 1 -ther almost smuggled notice which ,NTA'S en by Sir. GEORGE' CLBEIC (amidst the confusion of the • House" treAking'up after the discussion on the Budget of the 29th u 4., sad the pro, forma reading,of the.Banit . 1e.%) of the Premier's intention ,to, submit certain - resoluirong touching the renewal ;of the Bank -Char ter, we believe that many gentlemen are not aware of the important business' thus appointed for to-night. On the ." Vote" paper of the 29th it -stands as No. 88 of that evening's proceedings, the 'last within some eight . Or ten of the whole. On the Taper of a Notices" given on the 29th, it is au sentry met more prominent or discernible. For '"these 'reams, and. became*of the pertinacious taciturnity ' eNhktl Sir ROBERT PEEL observed as to the intentions <of the tioverrunent on Friday night, after Mr 1 4 1101iAs BAlti" And Polittealy. addressed Mr. Gov;traN - on this subject in an earlier sta ge of the business, we are most anxious that . no i t l en!lran should be sur prised, even on the first, ,ncia on of these iuten- . li o ns, into a tacit though' _r_eiucant toleration of pro positions which he mit li n d their re reasons for ob 7 jecting to, but, because ecl develop- VII:Z.:P;(11e that if, as ment, be unprepared to resist: - th e Chancellor of the Exehe t r a e r , t , believed" - (for it would be a pity—Le deplorable ificou 3 - "-;were any of the subordinates of a palm Ad ist . e ncy _ in to be at any time in a condition to speak oa t and with certainty of the' intentions o f t a chief) it be not the rirst Lord's design to call for t s vote 'of 'the House upon the resolutions on the same night, . it is so far the less probable that any H on , Members will be taken_ by, surprise in this matter. But Ave have _not much faith in the ingenuousness of the Chancellor of the Exchequer's ")itelief," and moue - at all in the reluctance of the First Lord to xliaelOarrass himself of its implied conditionsi.should ti tkvourable opportunity,preseht , itself for snatching tip is l vote of the House on his " ResOlutions." Now, the entry on the 'Vote paper of the 29th , runs thus : " 88. Bank of England Charter. Act 3 and 4_ William IV., C. 98, for giving to the Corporation of the Governor and Company of the Bank of England certain privileges for a limited period, under certain restrictions —read. l'Also, :several other Acts relating to the Chart er o f the Bank of England, and advances by them to the Government—and also to Banks and 4 Banking ipartnnrships--read. Committee on Monday zest" Those who know how utterly Unintelligible and unlistened to are the proceedings when, after the "field-day" business—like the " Budget"—the motion has been agreed to " that the other orders of the day be now read"—will easily understand that of all which is recorded in this entry, nobody but the Speaker, Sir GEORGE CLERK, and the Clerks at the Table, heard or knew one word at the time. And if others had, the amount of their knowledge on the sub ject would have been no greater than it actually was for these pro forma . ' proceedings are like the new gas cooking stoves. Everything is put down, no body sees how:; shut up, nobody understands why; cooked by fuel, nobody can tell what; and taken out, dished and served, nobody can tell when. Now the House of Commons' process is much the same. Acts of all reigns are said to be read which no man has heard, of purport and effect which no man could divine. certain steps taken which no man is cognisant of: and the whole affair is finished before any man can' say it is begun. IN eat morning it is dished up in the Votes after the fanciful fashion just quoted. It is surprising how much matter is condensed into the mummery of this pro forma business. A Member moves the House into Committee, and then that a certain order of the day be read. Mr GREENE pro pounds the order with a rapidity equal to that of galvanic communication, and (may we be pardoned) quite as unintelligible. The Clerk, taking up a roll of paper, gravely says, " this is an Act," and throws it under the table. The mover, who has in voked the sublime machinery of the Committee, and its presiding genius, Mr. GREENE (dignus rindice nodus), being satisfied himself,`assumes the House to be equally satisfied, with this instructing statement. He proceeds to move certain resolutions, which are actually read at the table once; the Chairman then proposes that they be read a second time, and, if there be no opposition, the House, by a well-bred fiction, assumes that they are read again. Then the Chair man proposes himself, " that he do now leave the Chair ;" takes the sense of the Comm . ttee by pro posing " that they who are of that opinion say aye, of the contrary opinion, no ;" and, because some answer neither with the one monosyllable or the other, he concludes, on the extra-Parliamentary axiom that "silence gives consent," that the ayes have it ; quits his chair, walks to the door, is called upon by Mr. Speaker in his most benign manner, and, with modest brevity, announces that the Com mittee on such an order have come to certain reso lutions. This "fact" is recorded by the Clerk, and printed in the votes distributed on the morrow. Such, then, is the whole amount of what has been preliminarily done—of what has subsequently been made known—of the proceedings that are to lead the business of this evening. This business is yet more succinctly announced in the notices of motions —" Monday, 6 May. Sir Robert Peel.—ln Commit tee on Bank Charter to move resolutions." But what is there which regards the well-being of this great empire, the integrity of its power, the prosperity of its trade, the maintenance of its politi cal grandeur, the subsistence of its millions of in dustrial population, the payment of the wages of their labour on a scale compatible with its value, and, therefore, adequate to their physical sustenta tion, - which - is not involved, more or less, in the terms upon which you will renew this charter of the Bank ? In which of their multiplied relations are not the security of property, the energy of trade, the productiveness of capital, the employment of manufac turing and agricultural labour, the further develop ment of our vast but latent resources, the present main tenance and activity of our shipping—manufactures— and all our staple trades, mixed up with this ques tion of the renewed privileges of the Bank of Eng land ? On what other point turns the sacredness of property, the inviolability of legal title and pos session to all the realty and personalty of the kingdom, but the public good faith in the confidence of which our wealth upholds and everywhere supplies and animates the arteries of this raighty monarchy ; and what is the controlling, absolute, disastrous influence which alone—except only the decree of Providence—can endanger the ex istence, as it already paralyses the operations of that wealth, if it be not the power exercised under the charter of the Bank ? Former Governments have done rashly, no doubt, in putting into the hands of two dozen of private gentlemen, presiding over the affairs of a private Corporation, this tremendous authority, morally or politically speaking, of life and death over the whole national community. These Governments might plead in their excuse, however, the pressure of frightful political exigencies, the dis organisation of the public revenue, the imminency of perils from without, only to be grappled with by the concentration of energies within, the State. They might allege that money being the grand lever of all action in modern times, they had made large present sacrifices, and consented to still more important concessions for the future, to those who could soonest supply them with the funds in ex cess of those raised by public taxation, necessary fur the current services of the empire, and the wars and the expenses in which it was involved. In. all this there might be some show of palliation for the un statesmanlike improvidence of confiding to private hands the entire control and management of our mone tary system. But even pending the last and most costly of those wars, the gigantic proportions of our commerce have vastly expanded themselves. Capital has; multiplied itself under every discouragement of taxation. The resources of our manufacturing ca pacity, the productive powers of our industrial la bour, and the still unrivalled perfection of our ma chinery have enlarged the amount and variety of our commodities to an extent which the most sanguine of speculative minds could scarcely have anticipated. The estimated rental of England and Wales, alone, rated this year to the poor rate, is 62,000,0001. per annum.- The annual taxation of the United Kingdom is not 12,000,000/. less ; and there is a surplus of public income of more than 4,000,000/. for' the current year. Yet, with these marvellous elements of public prosperity, how hap pens it that the -market of labour is so -frightfully 'overstocked, the. poor-houses so fearfully crowded ? —that of the industri a l commun it y , even t h at portion ' whiclasyin work is starving; and that ,the manufac -tarers are unable to pay them higher wages'?- that a surplus income of 4,000,0001. is out-balanced by i an aggregate of poor-rate for England and Wales of upwards of 6,000,000/..?—that pauperism, and the crimes generated by abject poverty are on the in crease ?—that our manufactures and our machinery find new competitors starting up in Europe and in America ?—that declining markets are coupled with increased production ; and accumulated stocks, so far from being put into distribution among the classes whose labour has been most taxed and worse paid to produce them, re-act on prices, and by lower ing them still further, run down diminished wages ? —that this state of things, attributable neither to the avarice of masters nor to the indolence of workmen, co-exists with the monstrous and oppressive scandal of more than 30,000,000/. of taxes being actually paid by the producer or half-famished artizan and labourer, which ought to be, which were intended to be, but which, under our existing monetary system, cannot he paid by the consumer ? We answer, that all this happens because the Bank of. England have a charter, in virtue of which they control the whole currency of the country, expand or diminish the circulation, make money scarce or plentiful, derange the plans of the merchant and trader, disorganise private incomes, cheek the salutary enterprise of- trade, diffuse doubt and suspicion among all classes, and in proportion as they repress and distract all the operations of legiti mate business, encourage gambling adventure, enrich unprincipled and merciless usury, and promote profli gate inictfeare - Sg - joblaing., Yet our quarrel is not with the Bank. They are but the instruments of a legislative folly. The mon ster mischief, under whose commission their charter has worked these, evils, is PERI:B Currency Bill of 1819. By the p uer il e, yet terrible, anomaly of ima gining eo the asur in eassigning, old b — y o m un en c t e — ofstandd g standard I st i a n t i u n t g e, a an fixed unit valueof measurement—in t , the total quantity of gold b a ove ground or below hoarded or in circulatio n , co i ned or in bullion, being ' just as fluctuating as it must b e ever • uncertana—the ~Legislature armed the Bank with two swords. -The convertibility of its notes into gold ' on.demand was that' which any body of men, or individuals, might f use to cut down the Ban k in t o b ankruptcy, whenever more of its notes would be brought to its counters l than there should be bullion in its cellars to p a y them withal. The power to issue more or 'less of those notes to any extent it might fancy,according to the cheapness or dearness of gold in the A could market, was the sword with which the Ban k cut down any body of men, or individuals, whose operations in trade had been based on the fallacy of supposing that the circulation at one time remained the same as at another, and that facilities, or exchange able value, of their securities, bills and money, was, therefore, the same at like periods. The sad records of the working of PEEL'S Bill, and the co-incident influ • ences of the Bank Charter, are to be read in the Ga zettes of 1825, 1826, 1833, 1834, and 1838. Ancient bankers, merchant princes, and a host of honourable merchants and traders of minor celebrity, were lite rally swept out of the circle of British commerce by th e panics of those years. There is, $s the City cor respondents of all our Morning Contemporaries, con firm the opinion of our own in stating every pos sible indication of the approach of such another hideous crisis in 1844, if it be not arrested in time. Let every Member of the House of Commons be at his post this evening, animated by a determination, if possible, to avert that crisis, so far as its ameliora tion would be the result of continuing to the Bank its charter on its present terms. Whether this be intended by Government, or not, or in what modified shape it may be proposed to renew it, all Englishmen beyond the doors of the Cabinet have as yet no means of judging. Again we ask, why all this silence ? Is Sir ROBERT PEEL afraid to give the mercantile and moneyed Members an opportunity of considering his propositions, what ever they may be, before their discussion? Is it too much to concede to the commerce and capital of the country such a means of maturely deliberating upon— before their representatives in Parliament commit themselves to a single step in advancing—the scheme on which the Ministers may be disposed to grant re newed privileges ? Have the public at large no reason, from the dreadful experience of the past, to anticipate similar results for the future, if similar causes are to remain in operation. If they are not so to remain, what has prevented the Right Hon. Baronet from announcing that fact long since, and quieting the alarms and , fears entertained by those who deprecate his irretrievable, and, we must say, presumptuous tampering with the currency in 1829 ? If they are to remain—what shall we not have to fear from the counsels of a Minister who can have been all this time brooding over a perverse and audacious deter mination to re-enact those bad powers which all sen sible and experienced observers concur in indignantly denouncing? If Sir ROBERT be unjustly suspected as to the character of his intentions, he has only him self to thank for the misconception. If those inten tions be such as they are thus suspected to be, our entreaty to Hon. Members is at one fortified and justified. Leave nothing, we will add, to the Right Hon. Gentleman's further consideration in this last event ;—but principiis obsta! Reject his resolutions. On the motion on Friday night that the House of Commons should go into Committee on the Factory Bill, Mr. ROEBUCK proposed—" That it is the opinion of this House that no interference with the power of adult labourers in factories to make contracts respect ing the hours for which they shall be employed, be sanctioned by this House." The Hon. and Learned Member's speech, in support of this proposition, was just such as might have been expected from him—. that is to say, it was specious, shallow, partial, and by no means remarkable for any particular suavity of temper. He seemed to take for granted that all who advocated the Ten Hours' measure, exhibited nothing but " ignorance" and " blustering weak ness"—his own affectionate and respectful words ; that their " class of mind was among the lowest and most vulgar of humanity ;" and that it was unge nerous, to say the least of it, "to throw on any class in this country the odium arising from that which was the mere necessity-of our nature." With what amazing coolness and nonchalance the Member for Bath talks of factory labour, just as though it were one of the inevitable curses en tailed on humanity by the transgressions of our first parents ! Does he really mean to say that it is " the mere necessity of our nature," that thousands of weak, defenceless women and children should be daily tasked beyond their strength, with no hope of escape from such exhausting toil but in the grave ; and, consequently, that those who, from the most disinterested motives, would endeavour to ameliorate their condition, are no better than vision aries, acting in defiance of all the laws that regulate our social being ? We cannot believe that Mr. ROE BUCK is serious in this admission, for though his ideas of statesmanship are certainly not of a lofty or comprehensive order, he is not quite an Ignoramus, but has some glimmering, however faint, of the truth of things. Excessive factory labour—so far at least as women and children are concerned—is no more a " necessity of our nature" than were West In dian Slavery—Catholic Restriction Acts—or any other gross injustice for which Parliament has found a remedy. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman went on to observe that " women were much better able than men to cope with factory labour. And he could understand why. It was under cover—it was warm, and so far it was com fortable to the nature of women, and all that was required was continuous attention. Now it was a peculiar characteristic of females that they could give this continuous attention without injury to their health. Every medical man agreed that women bore factory labour best ; that it was suited to their habits and psychological condition, and that it was in reality anything but hard labour to them." Good GOD, was ever so much arrant nonsense and resolute perversion of fact contained in so small a compass, as is the case in the above passage ! The factory, forsooth, is " warm," and therefore " comfortable to the nature of woman !" Warm, indeed ; for the. temperature is quite tropical, and the close, mephitic, pent-up air destructive to the strongest constitution. But this, it seems, is " comfortable," and specially suited to the " nature of woman," who, unlike the ruder sex, can dispense with the free, pure, refreshing airs of Heaven ! The atmosphere that tends to poison the springs of life in man, does woman all the good in the world. Her "psy chological condition," by the wise ordination of Pro vidence, is just suited to the factory system of labour ; and it would be the height of folly and in justice to take her from duties which agree so well with her health, and which are so exceedingly " comfortable to her nature." Again, " all that is required from her is continuous attention." That is all—nothing more ! She is only required to slave un remittingly from morning till night, from year's end to year's end. It is only insisted that she shall ne glect all her own household duties—forget that she is a wife and mother—and attend to nothing but the interests of her employer ! This is the very utmost she is expected to do, and Mr. Roersucx thinks it the justest and properest thing in the world that she should continue to do it without a murmur. And is it in this spirit that an English senator alludes in an English House of Commons to the protracted labours—tortures, we should rather call them—that women undergo in the pestilential Hell of a factory ? Is it thus coldly and sneeringly that he ex patiates on their lot, justifying it as a " mere necessity of nature," and peculiarly adapted to their " psycho , logical condition ?" In the whole course of our political experience we know not that we ever read a speech which filled us with such unutterable disgust as that of the Hon. and Learned Member' for Bath—a speech which is as ungenerous and unmanly in sentiment, as it is absurd in argument, and reckless in its perversion of facts. Did Mr. ROEBUCK never happen to read the medical Reports _on the effects of factory labour on the female constitution, that were presented to the House of Commons a few years since; and which proved, beyond the possibility of contradiction, that the system was utterly de structive of the health of woman ; that in the season of youth it brought on the infirmities of age ; laid the seeds of incurable disorders ; poisoned the springs of life at the fountain-head; and finally sent the poor, helpless, patient victim to her grave, worn d - own alike in body and mind, ere yet the meridian of her existence was passed ?' Mr. ROEBUCK could surely never have read these impressive documents, or he would never have presumed to talk such flippant, heartless trash, as that excessive factory labour is suited to the " psychological condition" of women, and is nothing more than "the mere necessity of nature." The Member for Bath concluded, like a JEREMIAU or a CASSANDRA, by prophesying all sorts of horrors if Parliament resolved on interfering with the factory system. We should lose, forsooth, the markets of Germany —of America—in a word, of the whole world And all these afflictions are to befal us, if we presume to listen to the voice of humanity-- I rhich is nine cases out of ten is the voice of common ": 4 ,' • • • set. it A , , , 4 • ff4,sE,Ma. - , - - ' • fv.i. - 40,„„. -HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

Mr. Rossuci, you are but a shallow sophist, as petty and frivolous in your views as you are pedantic and pertinacious in main taining them. Sir - ROBERT PEEL, infinitely to the surprise and delectation of the House, - indulged it with a lecture on " principle." " Great principles of morality," he said, " must not be infringed ; but there were general rules, sometimes called principles, which, though for the most part fit to be maintained, might sometimes be as fitly relaxed, for moral and social purposes." What subtle casuistry is this But who cannot see, with half an eye, that it is neither more nor less than an apology for the Expediency system of legislation ? Some principles must be stuck to at all hazards ; others may be conveniently relaxed— that is to say, you may adhere to a principle when' it does not come into direct collision with your inte rest ; but when it does, then you are perfectly justified in pitching it overboard, of course " for moral and social purposes." SO JONATHAN WILD argued, when he endeavoured to bring round the Ordinary of Newgate to his own views of what was just and proper. So Philosopher SQUARE argued, when he endeavoured to persuade Squire ALLworrir that it was his duty to disregard the laws of humanity, and send the poor foundling, TosttJobrs, adrift without-a shilling in the world, or a friend to help him ! So the Devil quotes Scripture, whenever, like our jesuitical Premier, he has " moral and social purposes" in view. Sir ROBERT PEEL went on to observe that Lord Howicx's notions of interference with the factory system were highly in judicious—and amounted to this, namely that Parlia ment must "extend its interference into all the occupa tions of life, and establish a system of universal inspec torship and intolerable tyranny." This remark comes with peculiar grace and propriety from a Minis ter, who, by means of his inquisitorial in: come .tax, has already established a " system of universal inspectorship, and intolerable tyranny." We are delighted to be able to state that Mr. ROE BUCK'S motion was lost by an overwhelming majority of two hundred and six ! Truly, virtue is its own reward --- - The Madrid papers of the 26th ult. bring no fresh intelligence, if we except the fact that one of the Ministerial journals, the Herald°, has turned against its patrons. It thus announces the fact :—" The 'Mi nistry, by its inactivity, inflicts a real prejudice on our party, and we can no longer keep silent. Nu merous correspondents from the provinces complain loudly that great partiality has been exercised in the filling up of public offices. Such facts are of a nature to excite distrust and alarm, and the Cabinet, with out perceiving the consequences of this erroneous tactic, complete the ruin by contradictory orders." On the Bourse the following were the quotations on the 26th :—Three per Cents., for cash, 361; at 60 days, 361; Five per Cents., for cash, 21 15-16 ; at 60 days, 221. The birthday of his Majesty the King of the FRENCH was celebrated at Paris on Wednesday with great rejoicings, and the weather being uncommonly fine full effect was given to the various festivities pre pared for the occasion. At half-past eleven o'clock the KING received the Cabinet Ministers and the Marshals of France ; and, at noon, the grand deputa tions of the Chambers of Peers and Deputies ; the deputations of the Court of Cessation and Cour des Comptes ; the Royal Council of Public Instruction ; the deputation of the Cour Royal ; the Institute ; the Prefect of the Seine ; the Prefect of the Police ; the Mayors, Deputy-Mayors, and members of the Muni cipal Council of Paris ; the deputations of the Tri bunals of Premiere Instance and Commerce ; the Protestant Consistory; the Central Israelite Consistory; the Generals and other officers not forming part of the garrison, and the civil and military functionaries. At half-past two his MAJESTY received the officers of the National Guards of Versailles and other places in the department of the Seine-et-Oise, the Officers of the General Staff of the National Guards of the Seine, &c. At four o'clock his MAJESTY received the members of the corps diplornatique. His MAJESTY was in excellent health, and went through the labours of the day without appearing to suffer much from fatigue. Addresses were presented by the Pope's Nuncio, the Presidents of the two Chambers, and the Archbishop of Paris. In replying to the congratu lations of Baron PASQUIER, the President of the Chamber of Peers, his MAJESTY took the oppor tunity of adverting to the blessings conferred on France, as well as other countries, by continued peace. " The Chamber of Peers," said he, "know how I appreciate the constant and faithful support which it has given to the policy, which has preserved France from so many evils, and attached, I may ven ture to say, as much lustre to the French name as the most brilliant victories could have done. We have seen our prosperity increase at the same time as that of our neighbours, which must' render more evident to the eyes of all the important truth that the general welfare of nations becomes for each of them in par ticular an augmentation 'of prosperity and happiness. It is a sweet satisfaction for my paternal heart that my sons have shown themselves worthy of France on the numerous occasions in which they have been able to prove their devotedness. They will always be found ready to share the perils and glories of our sol diers, and to defend our institutions, and the liberties of which they. are the guarantees. I again thank the Chamber of Peers for the good wishes that it has ex pressed to me." His reply to the Archbishop of PARIS was of a different character, and showed that the KING is determined to assert the power of the State in Church affairs, and will not allow the Jesuits or any religious sect to domineer, as in former days, over both Sovereign and people. The allusion of the Archbishop to the peace and liberty of the Church, evidently attracted the serious atten tion of the KING, and called forth a just rebuke. The remark to which we refer is the following : "We can never conceive," said the Prelate, "that the State can suffer from the peace and liberty of the Church, or the Church from the grandeur and prosperity of the State. This conviction, which was proclaimed six hundred years ago by a holy French doctor, the honour of his age by his genius, and of the clergy by the heroism of his virtues : is also that of the clergy and Archbishop of Paris." On which the KING replied, with great emphasis and in a hurried manner, " I thank you, Monsieur l'Archeveque, for the good wishes that you offer to me personally, and in the name of the clergy of Paris. I thought I had given pledges enough of my desire to maintain the liberty of religion, and to surround the clergy with all the respect, all the veneration, that are due to it, for it to become useless to remind me of them in the way I have just heard. 'What I can say to you, Monsieur l'Archeveque, is what you know already, that the "clergy may rely-upon all my good will, all my interest, and also on the constancy of my efforts to assure to France the benefits of reli gion, in order that it may continue to be at once the best guarantee against the vices which produce dis order in society, and the source of all the virtues which insure the happiness of men." - It would appear that the accounts received from Toulouse of disaffection in certain regiments were not warranted by the facts. The charges against the soldiers were declared to•be unfounded, and all those arrested had been set at liberty. The French funds on Thursday advanced consider ably—the Threes to 84f. 40c., and the Fives . to 122 f. 30c. TIM BOURS E -TtrEsDAY, MAY 2.

NIONE V ANIJ CO ,11MhRCiAL NEWS. :From The Sun of Saturday Evening.) The general tone of the Cotton market was. yesterday, better, and prices were firm ; sales 5,000 bales. Shares were not so lively, and not much was done, except in Eastern Counties ; French Shares were not so lively either ; Dublin and Cashe were 44; Eastern Counties 13%; Paris and Lyons •3A • ditto and Orleans 38 ; South Eastern, ex new, 374. file value of the public securities has been represented, for some time past, as too high ; but when we hear of a loan for a British colony being taken at 1121. 12s. 6d., even though 4 per cent. is guaranteed by the Home Government, for twenty years, we must be sensible of the abundance of money, and of the difficulty of finding safe employment for if. This induces a hope that in . altering the savings bank law, due consideration will be given to the importance of affording a sate place of deposit for the surplus funds not only of the poorer,. but even of the industrious, classes in a middling sphere of life, while, to obviate, the abuse of the system, a graduated. scale of interest, diminishing as the amount increased, to such an extent as to indicate that the depositors were • not of the poorer grade, might be usefully adopted. Parties possessed of 100/. or 2001. are often shy in de positing their hard-earnings in the funds with the chance of a Tall in prices that would occasion theni a serious loss,.by oc curring just when they were in want of their money, and would prefer a savings' bank in many instances for security, even though restricted from the receipt of interest upon all the amount deposited above 1001. It is,.indeed,; astonishing how 'large a number of even respectable parties keep •no banker, though the system adopted of granting de posit receipts, on which the return of, money placed in joint-stock banks can be had without the notice required by the savings banks, so far meets the wants of this class, that we are satisfied it only requires to be more gene rally known in order to be made extensively available. There is but one view in which there could be the slightest reason for the non-adoption of the facility . by parties who do not keep a banker, viz., the idea that Joint-stock bank may not be quite so safe as a savings bank. This, however, resolves itself into a matter of prudence in the selection of the esta blishments known to rest on the soundest basis, both with respect to Ihe proprietary and, the management. The Funds have been quiet this morning,. and still feel the re-action of yesterday afternoon, having been uninfluenced by purchases of any note., Consols for transfer next week have realised 99A to 4, and for the 28th instant 99% to 4. After Monday, and supposing the Bank Charter ques• tion not to involve important alterations in the Cur rency-laws, the market will probably become more settled. Exchequer Bills have been a shade higher, viz., 755. to 775. premium. The Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents. have been quoted 1014 to 4 ; the New, 102% to 4 ; and the Three per Cents, 984 to 4. There has been a very quiet market for the Foreign Bonds. Spanish Five per Cents. have been flat at 244, the Three per Cents. at 344 to 35h, and the Deferred at 144 to 15. Mexican , Actives have been rather better,•3s* to 4 4, and the Deferred 154. Danish have been steady at 88, Austrian at 114, and Dutch Two-and a Half per Cents. at 6 IA. The Railway Shares have been rather brisk, and we ob serve an improvement again in Brighton, Great Western, Birmingham, South Eastern, and others, since yesterday morning. PRICES. FUNDS.

It appears that he had for some time past been engaged in smuggling, but had only very recently been suspected. Another execution took place at Rouen on the 29th ult. The person who paid the penalty of the law was kyoung man named Arger, who had murdered a widow, and afterwards set fire to her house to conceal his crime. He exhibited the greatest penitence on 'the scaffold, and his address was so affecting that several persons in the crowd shed. tears.

W. Pontifex, C. W.,Barchard, P. Davey,•W, Cory,. • and W. M.

Mr. Masterman. • forcibly • pointed out the great hardship it would be to the consumers of coals, more 'especially to the poor, if • any • additional-•tax •tyere imposed upon %necessary an article as fuel. Lerd•Martham said if would e, if possible, more oppressive upon Many of his con stituents who resided on the banks of , the river in' Kent,-'who could derive no benefit whatever from the proposed eMbank ment, and many of whom would never see it. His Lordship further said, that petitions had been signedin London in one .week by 60,000 persons against-the impost. 'Sir C. Napier' and Mr. B. Hawes declared., themselves snot only hostile to the imposition of the proposed .tax,but also..to the proposed embankment itself, and announced-their intention of opposing it in every stage. Lord Lincoln said he. was 'not so wedded' to the coal-tax, provided any other .mede.•of obtaining the. necessary funds fortarrying .intneffect• the recommendation of the Commission could be.pointed out. He. had however, reserved his final anserer.until he-consulted het- Majesty's Ministers, when he promised to send& reply. . • • .• DE4TRUCTIVE'eFIRES IN-• TEM MINT, 'AND MIRA CULOUS ESCAPE OF THE ItimATEs.--Friday 'morning, between the hours of two or three o'clock, the . utmost alarm was created in the neighbourhood of the Mint, Southwark; in consequence of 'a fire, which was -nearly attended with a' lamentable loss of life, breaking out in the premises belonging' to Mrs. Sutton, pork-butchet, carrying on lmisinetit at No. 8, Mint-street. 'Me first- discovery , was made police-con stable 14Iuckford; 270 M; who in going his rounds on the op posite side of the street, • perceived smoke in dense volumes issuing, out of the upper wirrdows: - - Feeling satisfied that a fire was on the eve of bursting forth, the officer sprang his rattle, and commeneed 'knocking violently at the door. The whole of the inmates being fast asleep, a considerable time elapsed before they could be aroused, and when that was ac complished the lower part of the house was a complete burn ing mails, the flames at the time were making rapid progress -up the staircases, thereby cutting off all escape by the re gular means. The crowd by this time began to increase, when a most pitiable sight presented itself.—Mrs. Sutton and her four children came to one of the upper windows, wailing their impending fate. The officer persuaded her to drop her _children out of the window, which she did, and he succeeded in catching the whole of them in his arms, and lastly Mrs. Sutton precipitated herself out, and was also received in the arms of the constables. The intelligence having reached the engine-stations, with all speed fur or five brigade engines, with the West of England one, were at the scene, and being aided by a plentiful supply of water, the first that arrived was set to work, and happily prevented the fire from extenaing, and in less than an hour entirely extinguished it, but not 'before the premises were for the greater part destroyed. The origin of the fire and insurances are unknown. the Sydenham steam-vessel was commissioned at 'Woolwich on Monday, by Lieutenant D. R. B. Mapleton, and is to have a crew of sixty men. She has been placed under orders to leave Woolwich on the 10th instant for Russia, to bring home Lord Stuart de Rothsay, recently Ambassador at the Court of St. Petersburgh. The Hon. John A. D. liloomsfield, son of Lieutenant-General Lord` Bloomfield, G.C.B. and G.C.H. Commandant of the Garrison at Wool wich, has succeeded Lord Stuart de Rothsay, as Ambassa dor to the Court of St. Petersburgh. The present fine weather, together with the cheap ness and convenience of communication between Dover and the great metropolis, is daily drawing numerous visitors to our shores. The town at present is exceed- I ingly well filled.—Dover Chronicle. - • PORTING INTELLIGENCII. ; - LATEST BETTING IN 'ST.
