EVENING EDITION. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Hampshire Telegraph.) PORTSIIOUTII, OCT. 5.--Her Majesty's packet Hope arrived at Falmouth, on Sunday, from 1112xico, with the large freight of 1,303,000 dollars, under the com mand of Lieut. F. Polsvhele, late First Lieutenant of the Crocodile frigate, who was put into her at Vera Cruz, owing to the death of Lieut. Rees, from fever caught at the Havannab. Tlie master (Ponder), boatswain, carpenter, and a boy, had also fallen victims to the same disease. Her dates are, Tampico, 25th July ; Vera Cruz, 2d ult. ; and Havannah on the 24th following.

By letters from the Hyacinth, 18, Commander War ren, dated from Singapore, 22d May, it appears that Rear-Admiral Maitland intended to proceed forthwith to Macao with the whole of the East Indian squadron, and subsequently to Rangoon, with an imposing force, to keep the Burmese quiet, where the Favorite, :8, and Voiage, 28, had already been dispatched. These let ters report that our naval force in the Indian seas was much too small for the present warlike aspect of affairs, and three or four frigates were much required in lieu of the 28-gun ships.

Two line.of-battle ships, of 80 guns each, to be named the Majestic and Mars, are ordered to be built in Chat ham dock-yard. EXTENSIVE FlRE.—This morning about three o'clock a fire broke out at Mr.Flindon's, Bennett -street, Blackfriar's Road, occasioned by leaving a candle burn ing near the bed curtains. COMMON ROAD STEAM CONVEYANCE.—On Monday last Mr. Hancock, the inventor of the auto maton steam-carriage, started his machine from the Four Swans, Bishopsgate, for Cambridge. At Wades mill hill something occurred to impede its progress, which it is asserted had nothing whatever to do with the principle of the machine, and afterwards it proceeded to Cambridge. The time actually occupied in travel ling was four hours and a half, although they were much longer on the road. Durin g Tuesday the engine remained for inspection at the University Arms, and several trips were made in it. On Wednesday it was again turned out, and on proceeding up the Trumping ton-road, just before coming to the bridge, the engineer attempted to turn. Owing, however, to the machine having acquired too great a velocity, instead of turning ita the compass of the road, it ran over the railing into 4 dry ditch on the common, where it lay for some time with " a wheel up," or rather down, for one of t hem was, by the concussion thrust under the machine. Fortunately no injury was sustained by the passengers. t ,ambridge Chronicle.

We are told that we took on Saturday an exag gerated view of what the Tories would do if they were in office ; and that they would not and could not, as we then said they would. Be it so. They demand these things—what, then, is the inference ? Why, that the Tories are seeking to excite discontent, and break up the Government on false pretexts. They know, is implied by their apologists, that what they demand is impracticable. They are then hypocrites, thorough hypocrites. There was no Whig when in opposition, no Radical at any time, who ever proposed a measure which he did not deem bona fide a practical one. He might be mistaken, he might find in office that he could not carry his opposition conceptions into effect, but he had an honest belief that his propositions were practical. The Tories, however, admit that their propositions to repeal the Catholic Emancipation Act, to enrich the Church, to levy additional taxes, to pay off the national debt, etc., are impracticable. With their customary hypocrisy—hypocrisy which is so habitual to them that they scarcely know when they are guilty of it—the Tories, and particularly the parsons, endeavour to excite the prejudices of the people against the - principles of a system which they are convinced cannot in principle be altered. The Whigs and Radicals in opposition struggled for objects which they believe to be attainable, and if attained they believe they would be publicly beneficial. The Tories, on the showing of their friends, are bawling for measures, and kindling the passions of the people in favour of objects which they know to be unattainable, and if at tained, they know would be injurious. Never theless, with almost unexampled malevolence, they do their utmost to excite the most baneful and unsorial passions in their dupes, to gratify which would endanger the public security, for the mere purpose of getting into office. With all clue respect to them, and with a full conviction of the meaning of the term, we affirm that the conjoint attempt of Rey. Mr. STOWELL and the Times, of the parsons and the mere politicians, to excite the animosity of the Protestant population against their Catholic fellow-citizens, which both Mr. STOWELL and the Times, both the parsons and the pOliticians know, could not be acted on, is nothing less than ex tremely wicked. If any conduct deserves the name of devilish, it is the present conduct of the Tories in relation to the Protestants and Catholics. The few observations we have of late made on the currency, once again an important and absorb , ing question, have excited some remarks in our Contemporaries, and have induced authors to send us their lucubrations, some of which we shall no tice. We copy the article of the Conservative journal, which adverts to an opinion we have ex pressed. It certainly remains true, although bank notes are of equal utility to gold in performing the functions of money (we believe they are more useful than gold, or they never would have displaced and superseded it), that they are not an actual payment, but only a promise to pay. It is so written on their face, and the fact cannot be denied. But then we are said " to have formed a mis conception of the functions of money ;" how our Contemporary has jumped to that conclusion we are not aware, for we said not a word about those functions, and, except as our observation has sheariv,gedia6ss elaborate a peg f or our ingenious Contemporary to essay on, that essay does not concern us. There—is only one point of the essay which we shall notice. The Conservative Journal asks, " Will any one venture to assert that paper money, properly managed, may not be sustained at the same level of value as gold?" We shall make no such assertion ; but how properly to manage it is the difficulty. Now, to us.it alway s has appeared that, to preserve it in its true character of a pro mise to pay, so as always to carry with it as great a moral certainty as possibl e t h at what it pro- THE SUN, LONDON. MONDAY, OCTOBER 7. 1839. Daises to pay, be it gold, silver, or oxen, may, on demand be obtained for it, is the only proper way to manage it, and keep it always on the same level of value as the thing promised. That seems to us the self-regulating principle, which no con trivance, no management, no making it a legal tender, no placing it under Government offi cers, can ever equal. It is exactly like that admi rable contrivance, and not by any means inferior to it, which is, we believe, called a governor, in a steam-engine, which opens and shuts the valves, according as the steam is generated more or less rapidly, and secures one uniform and steady action, and precludes the possibility of bursting the boiler. A pamphlet, entitled " Thoughts on the Mo netary System, October 1, 1839," begins thus : " Is the British circulating medium founded on the principle of truth, or is it founded on the principle of error ? " If it be founded on truth it must work well. " It does not work well, therefore it must be founded on error." We like such a beginning ; and we have already poi►►ted out one palpable lie, which is at the bot tom of our monetary system, namely, that silver has a relation in value to gold, which it actualy has not. The Mint regulations are an arithmetical lie, and they assert that 15 is 16. This is one of the errors, on account of which the circulating medium does not work well. The Legislature also decrees that a promise to pay issued by the Bank of England is an actual payment, every where except at the Bank counter. This is another Legislative lie. The two together are enough to account for a multitude of evils. The lawgiver says that a hundred, or a thousand ounces of silver, offered at its value, in the market, shall not be a legal payment, and that the promises to pay of a company of proprietors, consisting of nobody knows who, and governed by a set o: City merchants, whose interests very often prompt them to do wrong, shall be a legal payment. The law not merely enacts a lie—we beg to be allowed to speak plainly—but a palpable and gross absurdity into the bargain. Having thus laid bare some of the errors on which our currency system is founded, we proceed with our author. He goes on to show in what way our system works ill, and he notices first the great fluctuations in the quantity and value of money, it being at one time so abundant that the least pru dent can acquire it, and at other times so scarce that the most careful and trustworthy is ruined for want of enough to carry on his legitimate business. The fluctuation in quantity and value " first stimu lates production, and then leaves the goods pro duced almost valueless in the market." The author points out several other consequences of our present monetary system, to some of which we shall here after direct attention; but we shall now advert to his proposed remedy. He says— " The alterations J propose are so trifling—the payment in gold and silver at their market price, inhTeA of their Mirt price, that I do not see any insurmountable difficulties in the way of effecting such a change, though they may be considerable ; but if they arc, our case may b. likened to that of a traveller who has driven a great - distance - along a bad road, which gets worse the further he goes; he finds it a • great difficulty to return but twenty times more difficult to go on." In this we agree with him, but-his proposition, to establish a new system, putting an end to our pre sent coins, is of a very questionable nature. We do not think the latter at all the necessary con sequence of his own proposition. It would be only necessary to rescind the Mint regulations, regu lating the value of gold and silver, and leave both to find their value in the market. All the coins of all denominations might remain just as they are, but persons should be allowed henceforward to pay all their debts, of above 11. sterling, in silver, by weight. The mere p r i v il ege of- using either metal would soon, by the common opera tions of commerce, make silver in weight the means of paying debts, and of calculating all our money transactions. That is quite compatible, we believe, with preserving for all minor purposes, and all the common transactions of life, the present silver and gold coinage. We know of no enactments made by the Legis lature for many years which have excited such de served and such indignant contempt as that pro duced among numerous classes by certain clauses of the New Police Act. Certain Magistrates, too, as if the clauses were not sufficiently ridiculous and annoying of themselves, have raked up obsolete clauses in other Acts for the purpose of carrying out what they consider the spirit of this new piece of legislation. An absolute rage seems to prevail for making the law and the officers of the law, and the very Sabbath itself, hateful to the people. Boys are fined or sent to gaol for ringing a muffin bell—publicans on one side of the metro polis are punished for what others on another side may do with impunity, and even the venders of ginger beer, and snuff, and oranges, and lollypop, are visited with the punishment meted out by the new Act to publicans for selling spirituous liquors. By the construction put upon old and new Acts— some of them as far back as the reign of CHA RLES IL—the public are subjected to a system of harras sing inspection and wanton interference that could hardly have been surpassed by the wildest dreams of Sir ANDREW AGNEW, embodied in an Act of Parliament. Sir ANDREW'S; plan, in fact, was more equitable. He would have restrained the rich as well as the poor, and made the law general through out the country. He would have placed Man chester and Liverpool and London on the same footing, closed club-houses and hotels as well as small taverns and ginger -beer shops, shut the gates of parks and zoological gardens, and all the toll gates throughout the kingdom, and made Sunday one universal day of rest, leaving no town and no class to envy another. As the law is now administered, the reverse is the case. What is sin in London, is no sin at Gravesend, and while one man is forbidden to drink ginger-beer in the East-end, another may drink champagne and brandy and soda-water in the West to his heart's content. The poorer and middle classes are struck with the injustice of the law—naturally find - expe dients for evading it, and the Magistrates are forced_ to stretch the Act, and every clause of any Act that can bear on the point, in the vain attempt of effect ing an impossibility. And what is the consequence ? The police constables that were looked upon as protectors of the public are now regarded as spies and informers, and the Magistrates and the. Go vernment are considered their abettors in enforcing a system of espionnage unknown on the Lord Day under the most arbitrary Government in Eu 7 rope. And all for what purpose?--to make. peo 7 ple religious by means of punishment. It was not thus that the Christian religion spread itse.lf ove r the civilised world, but it was thus that the Catho . .. lic religion fell into disrepute, and another of a more . liberal and Christian spirit sprung up in its place. To the credit of the Episcopal clergy, always ex.. cepting the Bishop of LONDON, they have gene- . rally shown themselves averse to such harsh and ab surd enactments. Brussels Papers of Friday received last night, contain very long accounts of serious riots which have taken place in the hitherto peaceable cit e o f Ghent, and its vicinity, by which the peace of the country has been to some extent endangered. These accounts arc rather confused, but the follow ing is the substance of them :—Some extensive manufacturers in Ghent in the course of the last month, having lowered the wages of the workmen there was a general strike, and for some days no work was done. The poverty of several of the men compelled them to accept the reduced rate of wages, but their comrades threatened to maltreat them if they attempted to work before the wages were raised. The troubles which commenced some days previously, says one of the journals, be came more serious on the Ist of October. To wards nightfall groups of workmen assembled on the Place d'Armes, hissing and hooting, and as their numbers increased occasionally shouting "The Prince of ORANGE for API- I" A Commissary of Police attempted to arrest one of the ringleaders, but was rather roughly handled by the mob. M.

The question the flames, fell amidst the vociferous acclamations of the victors, who dragged it to a spot where there was another tree of liberty, which they were going to burn, when they were prevented by the arrival of a strong. patrole. Early on the 2d most of the workmen assembled in the Place du Vendredi, and about ten o'clock re paired to the Palace of the Government, where a de putation of fifteen entered. The Governor told them that as to their demand to exclude foreign cotton manufactures, he could not now answer them, but that they might return in two days, in the meantime he would go to Brussels. . As for the prohibition to export wheat it was already issued by virtue of the law. We hear that the people were dissatisfied with the Governor's answer, have attacked the firemen and police officers with paving -stones, and plucked up the roots of the tree of liberty. The Messager de G an d, f rom w hi c h t h e a b ove , particulars are taken, says.— It is said, but we cannot answer for the correctness of . the report, that the inhabitants of the neighbouring villages have begun to destroy the tree of liberty ; this is not im probable, because there are in the places within three leagues of the city numerous weavers who work for our cotton manufactories, and wh o , s i nce t h e revo l ut i on , h ave been in a - much • more distressed • situation than our work men. The Messager de Gand, ascribing the events to the peace with Holland, makes reflections which will cer .tainly not impose on our readers. It affirms that since the peace the fraudulent introduction of English and French manufactured goods has increased to an enormous extent. The Journal des Flandres gives on the whole a similar account, in a postscript, dated Oct. 2, noon. It says, the assemblages do not disperse. There are strong patrols in the streets. A company of infantry has just fired on the young man i s morta ll y woun d e d . workmen, and a 'BRussns, OCT. 3 3 P.m.—Eleven battaliOns of infantry have been sent to-day to Ghent by the iron railroad ; the 7th and Bth batteries of light artillery on their way. to Ypres. are ordered to stop at Ghent. Other troops are ordered to Ghent. No troops have left Brussels. ,The Organe des Flandres, which received as we were going to press, says " 9 P.m.—A reinforcement of the troopa of the line have arrived by the iron railroad, and immediately sent to the Place d'Armes, where six pieces of cannon are planted. The crowd is nearly dispersed.. " HALF-FAST 11 P.M.—All is perfectly tranquil. The patrols continue to parade the streets."—Courrier Belge, Oct. 3. BRUSSEL ft, OcT. 4.—(From the Courrier Belge.)--A Journal announces that the city of Ghent is declared in a state of siege, but the Moniteur does not mention it. The nomination of Prince Joseph of Chimay, as Ambassador to the Hague is officially announced in the Ilioniteur. A private letter from Ghent, dated the 4th, mentions the increased display of military force and constant arrival of fresh troops. Several persons were arrested yesterday. Very numerous patroles traversed the several quarters of the city, which are tolerably quiet. A workman attempt. ing to approach the troops, a curassier tried to make him retreat, but being resisted, struck him on the head with his sabre, so that he fell mortally wounded, and was taken to tae hospital. The Governor of the province has issued a proclamation, which appears to have good effects. The journals give various details, dated the 3J ; 200 workmen, women and children, went to the manufactory of M. Ruyek, where the men were still at work, to order them to leave off. After a violent dispute the proprietor judged it prudent to stop the work. The same happened at other manufactories. Sixty-two persons were arrested yesterday. A con flict took place is the Place St. Pharaile, between the rioters and the cuirassiers; several persons were wounded, as well as some soldiers. We no longer, however, meet the threatening groups of workmen which paraded the streets yesterday, and spread general alarm. The greatest praise is due to the civil and military authorities for their great activity and energy. We just learn that at a meeting with the Burgomaster and other Magistrates the Committee of manufacturers bad been ordered to exhort the workmen to resume their la bours. It is to be Lind that the influence of the manu. facturers will prevail, and that the tranquillity of our city will be soon completely restored. BRUSSELS, OCT. S. —TERMINATION OF THE RIOTS AT GHENT.—( From the Courrier Belge.)—Th e law has tri umphed. At the moment of our writing Ghent is tran quil. No fears arty now entertained. Regret for what is passed is the only feeling that can engage the minds of the inhabitants; and we may firmly hope that this unhappy example of the fatal consequences, produced at the instiga tion of the enemies of order against the constituted autho rities, will at length enlighten the well disposed. We shall often have to refer to these aflcting scenes when we are again called on to combat the manoeuvres of the par tizans of anarchy. The Journal des Flandres says, up to this day, the 4th October, that seven persons who were wounded have been received in the civil hospital of Ghent ; one of them is dead of his wounds. Some other wounded persons have not been brought to the hospital. We do not know their names. We are likewise not informed of the names of the officers and soldiers who were wounded, but we know that their wounds are all slight. Yesterday several more arrests took place - about fifty persons have been set at. liberty. The other ; prisoners are strictly guarded in the citadel. They are to be transferred to-day to the prison. The Messager de Gand and Organe des Flandres con. firm the restoration of tranquillity. Yesterday the King presided in a Council of Ministers, Prince J. de Chimay left Brussels on Thursday. Baron de T. Serclaes has returned to Brussels from his diplomatic mission to several German. Princes. By the arrival of the — Braganza steamer at Fal mouth yesterday we have received Lisbon Papers to the 30th ult. inclusive. An accession had just been made to the Ministry in the person of FRANCISCO DEPAULA DE ANGIAN OTTOLINI, one of the Judges, who, at the earnest solicitation, of the President of the Council, was pleased to take charge of the Marine department. Of the ties or personal influence of the New Minister we find nothing recorded in the Lisbon Papers, whence we infer that lie is but little known in the political world. Cabinet Councils were frequently held, and it was conjectured that very important affairs were on the taps, but nothing of what really took place at the Council Board seems to have transpired. In consequence of the timely discovery of the Miguelite conspiracy subsequent revelations have been made, which led to the arrest and imprison ment of the Bishop Of COIMBRA and Senhor EMANS, one of the Supreme Judges, on a charge of high treason. The slave traffickers of Angola recently gratified the vanity of the Baron de RIBEIRA DE SABROZA for having so ably defended the slave trade abomi nation in his answer to Lord BROUGHAM s speech in Parliament on the Portuguese Slave Trade B►ll. Nor are these gentlemen content that things should remain as they are in that colony. They represent that unless the inhuman traffic be encouraged by the removal of the present Governor, Vice-Admiral NORANHA, honourably distinguished for enforcing the decree of the 10th of December, 1836, against the slave traffic, ruin must inevitably overtake them in the course of a few months. This address, how ever, has been for the most part passed over in silenbe by the Lisbon Journals. With all their hostility to England, they dare not recommend, directly or indirectly, any encouragement of the slave trade, well knowing that such language would render Portugal an object of horror to civilized Europe. The Jouinal.s comment at great length on the .circumstance of several atrocious murders having been recently committed in Lisbon and its vicinity. It - appears that there are in the prisons of that city and in several others throughout Portugal, many prisoners who have been several years under sen tence of condemnation to death, but whose execu- lions have been from time to time delayed ; and the Journals are of opinion that their execution row would serve as an example to deter - others from committing capital crimes. We haVe neither time nor :pace to expose the cruelty and impolicy of such a barbarous suggestion. The history of every civilised State bears undisputed testimony to the fact that vice has no school in which such progress is made in the deepest villany, as the foot of the gallows. So long as society claims a right to ex piate the outrages committed against it by the mur der of the culprit, so long will individuals have recourse to assassination to revenge private wrongs, or to gratify individual passions. There are at present three British and two French ships of. War in the Tagus.

His Majesty has ordered the Minister to express to the troops of ;hat division all his satisfaction for those new service, and for the good order which they maintained along the whole line of frontier. The King could not rxpect less from those brave troops and the worthy chief who commanded them. The Minister Secretary cf State of the War Department. • SCHNEIDER. Towards the close of last week the price of wheat had rather declined in the principal markets through out France. According to the Moniteur, grain fell in thirty-eight markets of France during the week, and only experienced a slight rise in fifteen, and that from causes totally unconnected with the question of scarcity. RUSSIAN INTRIGUES IN SERVIA.--.TIIC Commerce pub lishes a letter, dated Bucharest, 15th ult., announcing that Colonel Rizewigki, after leaving the Turkish capital, had repaired to Adrianople, where he convoked a meeting of a certain number of hadjis and noblemen, and advised them indirectly to proclaim the separation of Bulgaria from Turkey and its incorporation with the Russian cm pire. The hadjis, concealing their real sentiments, and appearing to enter into his views, the Count openly proposed to them to rise against the Porte, and promised them the Resistance of Russia. Some of the hadjis, however, objected that the Russians bad not kept faith with them iu 1829, and threatened to apprise the Porte of the conduct of the Russian embassy. Count Razewiski then changed the conversation, and left Adria nople the following day. Similar attempts have, it ap. pears, also b.:en made in Servia, Wallachia, and Moldavia. "It is even said," says the Commerce, " that the Autocrat has offered to form Wallachia into an indopmdent State, and place at its bead a Prince of his family." Russian agents had, moreover, spread a report that " Austria con templated extending her domination in Italy, and abandon. ing Transylvania and a part of the Bannat, which might then be annexed to the projected principality." There were still 120,000 Russian troops along the frontier of Wallacbie, ready to invade the principality on an order from the Czar. The same Journal has a letter from Moscow, dated the 16th of September, announcing the re turn of the Emperor to that city from • the camp of Borodino : " His Majesty was received by the Governor- General, Prince Galitzin, to whom the Emperor, taking the Duke de Leuchtenberg by the hand, said :--4 I enter Moscow with the son of the adopted son of the great Napoleon.' (He called the same Napoleon a madman, it will be re collected, in an address to the troops a few days pre viously.) Then turning towards General Klein Michel, he added The Bonapartes and Romanoffs may well be excellent friends. Both the one and the other have for their object the grandeur and glory of their respective countries.' " The rumsur that the Grand Duchess Olga wculd wed Prince Louis Napoleon Bonaparte was again in circulation at Moscow. The camp at Borodino had broken up. The troops commenced their march to quarters on the 15th. A por. tion of them, amounting to 65,000 men, were to proceed to the southern governments, and to form the grand reserve of the Army of the South. The Augsburg Gazette announces the prvslge of Cap toin Walker, R N., through Augsburg, on his way from Constantinople to London. The Lloyd Austriaco of the 26th ult., states that two thirds of Salonica were reduced to ashes by the fire which broke out in that town on the Bth.

Stick by ;he Corn-laws." So, " there is nothing like leather" after all. Are there any so blind as not to see the object of these landlords and parsons in their thus as sembling themselves together ? " The Corn-laws are the main support of the Constitution," says the Duke, who fears that a repeal of those laws would lessen the annual income he derives from his estates. " The union of the Church and State is the main prop of the Constitution," cries George Chetcvode, who fears that the establishment of a fair-play system of religion would deprive him of some of the surplice fees which he can now wring from the pockets of the poor. Was there ever a closer parallel to the good old fable of the be sieged town ? The brickmaker recommends the pur chase of a large quantity of bricks ; the stonemason wishes the funds of the Corporation to be spent in ma sonry ; equally selfish and equa ll y care l ess o f the safety of his fellow-town smen , the currier cries, " Neighbours, NIT is nothing' like leather." Just so is it with Georgy Chetwode and Dicky of Buckingham. " Keep up the Church-rates and surplice fees," says the Reverend Gentleman, or you are all ruined." " Keep the price gof corn up to starvation point," cries the noble end racious landlord, " or down goes the Constitution and the best Thstitutions of the country."

Your petitioner humbly htspes that your Honourable House will more especially take into consideration the state of dependence in which the home trade is kept on the foreign trade, as the a moiunt of circulation for the former trade is made to depend/ on the fluctuations of the latter trade, and not on the actual wants of the home trade. Your petitioner humbly hollos that your Honourable House will cause an examinaGiou to be made into the past history of metallic currency-, as it is recorded in Royal proclamations, and in the 'kw', nals of your Hono ura bl e H ouse , f rom the beginninf I ° I Kin.'

Your petitioner humbly begs leave to represent that by the rule that supply and demand regulate prices (for practically there is no other standard) that wben part of the coin is exported, :mid the price of bullion is above the Mint price, that thee the value of the re maining coin is enhanced, and that of commodi ties depressed ; that in case the weighty coin is expori:eclt the remaining, although lighter coin, is enhanced, whi le commodities becotne depressed, which was proved af d te r the re-coinage of the silver in 1696, for the new,. coin i d not purchase gold cheaper than the light coin bad daf ti e. That by the year 1810, the coin of the country boil. almost entirely disappeared, and the market price bullion having risen, the remaining-, by so much drift nished circulation, although it consisted of paper, weld, according to the above rule, have become euhalleefee and consequently commodities depressed in value le cot the price of money, of whatever material it ena'l s e must be regulated by that rule ; that if, o n tha' hand, the prices of commodities were enhanced iP be en spring of 1810, that fact and its cause could hav e Abe best ascertained by an inqui r y o f th ose concerned it! „ es, trade of such commodities ; for s u c h r i s e of eonten oth ee l e d if it did exist, eould by no mean s b e taken for -grha' as having been occasioned by a currency already shown, must have become more va luab ` i e. aes to Your petitioner, therefore, humbly begs. he express his regret that bank notes issued d utin ; t rind of the Restriction Act, should hav e been, a s n ' s •i conceives, unjustly stigmatized as deprecated ' in a for ' far as there existed at all times a positive demand the such bank notes equal to the supply ; for besid es responsibility of the bank, they were issued in the 21e' instance to persons covenanting to withdraw tb,, from circulation, and to return them to the bane. at the expiration of the period of the discone t ' and who, therefore, were necessitated to purcha ge them out of the market by the sale of commodities, 60 , that it must be evident that bank -notes, so constitwtea could not be depreciated. And while, on the KA ° hand, bank note money originates either in a sale of c cant modities which has taken place, or in anticipation t A sale that must take place, while it expands with the wants of circulation, and ceases when those wants ars, satisfied, bullion, on the other hand, has no 'severe' affinity with, nor is it identified with money (althoue it i t is enacted that money shall be identified with bulks 0) , and nobody would think ot - taking it as money were it not constituted such by law, for money all debtors as ast have, and they must pay its market price with tl) ear commodities, even though it consists of what is so ut ) oc. countably called depreciated paper. The use of p. IP e r money has been increasinvof late years on the Contin and although it exists there in some parts in its m ost.; . 11- jeCtionable forms, still those countries have been creasinc , in prosperity, and such general distress as ibs t ; occurred here under the metallic system has been 04 unknown. Your petitioner, therefore, humbly prays that y 4 s l io r Honourable House will cause an inquiry to be made Obi., the state of the currency, and your petitioner buo t b e hopes that your Honourable House will restore to country a circulating medium which is neither liabl e ti iii DIC ho,rded nor to be exported, but which, like that existed during the Restriction Act, adapted itself to 0' wants f the community. ta ro.] [We shall publish the other petition in a day or --- ENIIGRATION OF CHARTISTS.—Mr.Wostrr holme, the Delegate from this district to the Crete r b il s Convention, and Mr. Chatterton, Secretary to ,the Working Men's Association, after being , to use f or words of a correspondent " hunted like wil d beasts e. being Chartists, have made their exit to America --"Or s ferring leaving the land of their birth to dragging' ..13;0, miserable life in prison, like 'Lovett, Collins, Ildar'—.4 W ei Fox, and a many more ; both of them are 11, workmen, and will do well, having taken all their sa°tv°,l„ with them.

The Right Hon. T. B. Macaulay has written an Address to his Edinburgh con.ditueney, announcing the fact of his again askin.r their suffrages, in consequence of' his appointment as Secretary at War. He says, " I need scarcely say that office h , s, at this moment, fear of its ordinary attractions, and that, in the present circum stances of the country, and in the present state of parties, there is much to discourage those who are entrusted with the Administration. I should in all probability, have best consulted my own comfort by leaving to others the ardu ous task of acting and proposing, and by confining myself to the far easier business of censuring and objecting ; hut such selfish caution would ill become one whom the ge nermis confidence of your great and enlightened city has p!aced in high public trust. Believing, as I do, that her Majesty's present advisers have meant and endeavoured well—attributing, as I do, that a eakness with which, they are taunted, neither to inferiority of judgment nor to inferiority of purpose, but to adverse c ircumstances — to popular delusions—to the arts of unscrupulous ene mies, and to the slackness of faint-hearted or unreason able friends—l have thought it my duty to obey without hesitation the summons which called me to the post of difficulty, of responsibility, and of honour. At that post I am confident it must be your wish that your represen tative should be found." The Right Hon. Gentleman concludes by saying that he shall, after the meeting of Parliament, until which event no new election can take place, again present himself to them in the character of a candidate. THE A LDERMA NIC GOWN OF DOWGATE WARD.—The Alder manic gown of Dowgate Ward has become vacant by the death of George Schley, Esq., who expired at his house at Clapham, on Friday last, at the advanced age of 86. He was an Alderman of .the old school, industrious, precise, affluent, hospitable, arid a Tory. He was always attentive to his official diatieS, and indeed frequently took upon himself the per formance of the duties of his junior brethren. He had an attack of dropsy, about three months ago, and he very calmly assured some of his friends that his hour was approaching. In the Mazisterial Chair, he was ever on the side of leniency. It is reported that there will be three candidates for the vacant gown. Mr. Johnson, known as the great Breakwater Johnson, and two years ago Sheriff of London and Middlesex, Sir James Duke, Mr. Johnson's colleague, and a Member of Parliament for Boston, and Mr. Brown, the D e puty of Donate-wand.
