Some time since, when it was ascertained that the accounts of the immense quantities of gold collected in California were by no means apochryphal, and even scarcely exaggerated, we commented upon the probable results of the recent discovery, and the effects of the immense importation of bullion that would naturally follow upon our system of currency. The case was not without a suitable precedent. We had before us the experiences of the 15th and 16th centuries, when the prcduce of the Peruvian and Mexican mines brought a monetary revolution, not only in England, but throughout the entire of Europe and the civilized portion of the globe. All were more or less affected by the change, but few were aware of the causes by which that extraordinary alteration was occasioned. The statute-book was en cumbered with a variety of useless, aye, far worse than useless, laws against regrating, forestalling, &c. &c., to which " the many" erroneously attributed the steady advance in prices which had more than quad. rupled the nominal cost of all the necessaries of life within less than half a century. It is unnecessary to say that these various laws proved utterly fruitless. A similar result has followed, and must attend, sooner or later, every protective enactment that ever has been, or may be, framed, and which can never prove more efficacious than the command of CANUTE to the ocean to keep back, or the more modern at tempt of Mrs. PARTINGTON to sweep back the sea with a broom. Natural, can never be controlled by artificial laws, and it is unnecessary to say that a ll efforts for that purpose must invariably fall short of producing their intended effects. It, however, took a considerable period, nearly fifty years, before the new system came into operation, and the revolution was fully accomplished. The first few years were consumed in repairing the deficiency that had previously existed. History tells us that there was such a deficiency, and the reason was obvious. The increase of the precious metals had not kept pace with the increase of population. The circulating medium was, therefore, becoming day by day more inadequate to the wants and exigencies of the country, and there would have been a mo netary convulsion but for the opportune discovery of the rich treasures of Potosi. That, however, prevented a crisis, and led to a totally dif ferent state of facts. The steady influx of bullion led to an equally steady augmentation of prices. If we could ever fancy that the worthy bucolics could be satisfied, they might well have been contented during that period when the quarter of corn, which was sold in the latter end of the fifteenth century at 9s. 7d., commanded V. 7s. 9d. in the beginning of the second portion of the sixteenth century. Rents became trifles not worth thinking of. The landed proprietor was a petty prince—the occupier of the soil was almost as well off as the owner in fee, while the mere labourer was sure of obtaining " a fair day's wages for a fair day's work." This happy state of affairs was - after the change was accomplished ; for during a state of transition from lower to higher prices " the many" always suffer before their earnings are made to correspond with the additional charges for the necessaries of life, and those humble luxuries that should at all times be within the reach of the working classes, if we look for a happy and contented population. At first, not only were the laws against regrating, forestalling, &e., to which we have above alluded, carried into effect, but it was considered ad visable to make a legislative provision for the desti tute inhabitants, and to render the first charge upon the property of the country the support and mainte nance of its pauper population. Matters, however, speedily adjusted themselves, and the "golden days of Queen BESS" have passed into a proverb to represent an almost unparalleled state of prosperity and happiness. Now that California has not only confirmed but exceeded the most sanguine expectations that had been formed as to the results of the " diggings'' —that Australia is also found to possess an auriferous soil—we may look forward to a similar improvement in prices, as it is termed, which, however, will be nothing but a depreciation of the gold currency, arising from the greater quantity in general use, and not the appreciation of the other commodities that may be offered i❑ exchange. The same phe nomena will be perceptible—the like causes will produce the like results. There may be some difficulties to he encountered during the progress of the change, but the industrious classes will be enabled to overcome all impediments. The chief, the only sufferers, will be the drones in the na tional hive—those who have hitherto showed no pity for their victims, who have been the most strenuous advocates of bullionist theories. They may then become the most, clamorous advocates for an extensive measure of monetary reform; they will desire to carry out the spirit of the contract be tween the nation and its creditors, and the purchas ing power of the pound sterling will be re garded rather than the quantity of gold contained i❑ the sovereign. But how can they hope that those who have been so deeply victimised, whose miseries have elicited so little sympathy, will con sent to a change when the balance inclines to their side, as it must speedily do ? There may yet be time to effect an amicable com promise, to give a portion of the benefits that must arise ere many years have passed away. Let them seize the golden opportunity ere gold itself be come comparatively worthless. An extensive, and at the same time safe and judicious measure of currency reform would bring those anticipated advantages into immediate operation. The agriculturist, as well as the manufacturer, could then live without being in a constant state of embarrassment ; there would indeed be " protection for British industry," but it would be for every description of industry, and embrace every inhabitant of the United Kingdom under its fostering shelter. To realise these benefits without delay we would give the national creditors the fair value of that for which they had contracted—the value of money at the time they made advances to the public Exchequer. This might easily be effected, and they may be well assured that "the worthless rags" that have been so contemptuously sneered at by those who wanted to enforce their respective pounds of flesh will become more valuable, and command a heavy premium, when no other money or currency will be accepted in payment of the taxation to which every man must contribute according to his position and means. " A national taxation money" is what the country requires, and it would be for the advantage of all that it should be conceded on judicious principles with the least possible delay. It was with feelings of indignation, but not of sur prise, that we read the report of the proceedings which took place on Saturday at the Police court in Birmingham, in the case of the Austrian female spy, who called herself the Baroness VON:BECK. This bad woman, whose real name was RacinuLA, and who had acted in her native country, Austria, as servant to a spy of the lowest class, had, it appears, been engaged by the Austrian Government to act as a spy in this country ; and she accordingly, having obtained a suitable outfit, assumed the title of Baroness VON BECK, and introduced herself as a Hungarian refugee lady of noble family to several English families, more particularly in the provinces, where she was not likely to be known, and then plied her base and infamous calling, transmitting regularly any infor mation she might pick up, or any falsehoods she might invent, to the Austrian Minister here, who, no doubt, forwarded without delay to his perfidious master the fruits of her deliberate treachery. It was through the means of such miscreants as this Baroness DE BECK, that the murderers of BAT THYANY, the Red,Emperor and his Ministers, were ap prised of the fact that Madlle. ANNA ZER had, on the solicitation of the ,stewards of the concert, given here for the benefit of the starving Hungarian refugees, consented to sing at that concert, for which consent (for she was unable actually to appear) she was, im- mediately on her return to Vienna, visited by the authorities and prohibited from appearing on the boards of the opera of Vienna for twelve months. We are, however, not surprised at the revelations which have taken place is the case of this woman. Austria, in common with the other members of the Ab solutist and anti-Protestant conspiracy, has long since had a regularly organized body of spies, lay and clerical, acting in all parts of the United Kingdom and in various disguises. Now the spy appears as the professor of some foreign uni versity, attentively engaged in scientific researches, anon he is a worthy friar engaged in ministrations of charity, freely communicating with the Roman Catholic dignitaries and clergy, and transmitting the information he obtains by these means to the Austrian Chancery, where it is compared with the information transmitted by the clergy themselves. to Rome. At times, as in this case of the Baroness Vow BECK, the spy assumes the character of a refugee noble, Hungarian or Ita lian, as the case may be; occasionally too, an Eng- lishman is found base enough to accept this vile ser vice, and he very frequently appears in the character of an ultra-Chartist or Socialist, a writer of outra geously abusive tracts and pamphlets against the policy of the English Government ; and, occasionally, also, he adopts the more insidions plan of praising the policy, but attributing its adoption to such motives as cannot but rouse the feelings of other Powers against England. This spy system as it at present exists was thus extensively organized as far back as May, 1848, when the refugee reactionary Princes and Ministers were in the habit of meeting in secret conclave at Richmond, and there organized the great scheme of reaction, which is not yet fully deve loped, and from that time it has been in full operation. We have on some few occasions endeavoured to attract public attention to this subject; but the whole sys tem seems to the mind of an Englishman so abhor rent, that unless he has lived for some time on the Continent, and become from experience acquainted with the existence and modus operandi of the haute police, he may be well excused should he refuse at first to give credence to the statements that were made to him. The revelations which took place, however, at the police-office at Birmingham in this case of the Baroness DE BECK must be sufficient to convince the most incredulous that the haute pclce of Absolutism and Obscurantism has acquired in these dominions a development which would fully authorise a demand for a Parliamentary inquiry into the subject ; and we trust that Lord DUDLEY STUAR T will not suffer a week to elapse after the meeting of Parliament without bringing forward a motion for inquiry In the meantime, before Parliament assembles, we call upon the Govern ment and the Commissioners of Police to dis avow at once, if they can, the very grave imputations cast upon them by M. CHARLES DE SODEN, in his letter to Madame PULSKY, which was read in the course of the proceedings at Birmingham. In this letter M. CHARLES DE SODEN says : "In reply to the inquiry contained in your kind note, I beg to inform you that t h e person styling herself ' Baroness de Beck' is the same who, accompanied by Dr. Ilcinemau, offered personally her services as a spy and informer to the recently established foreign branch of the English police force. This I knuw from good authority, and I know likewise that for a fortnight or three weeks she has obtained for such services the sum of 51. 16.2. Bd. per week. It is also no secret to mo that the soi-di.ant baroness introduced herself to the Com missioners of Pollee by forwarding a letter written from Dr. Heineman, and containing an enclosure which con sisted of some articles and regulations adopted by an association of German Communists in London." MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—The King of Mos quitia still retains his seat on the throne of the Woolwas, Ramahs, Samboes, and Morquitians. His sister, the Prin cess Agnes Frederick Augusta, was married on the 6th of July, at Blewfields, to Michael Hodgson, a Mo:quitian negro The Prince Consort is now in this town making fence for a friend of mine. Michael was not aware that the pension allowed by the British Government to the Princess ceased on her marriage until the marriage hour had arrived, and when he learned it he refused to be married; and it was by force almost he was led to the presence of the Moravian clergyman who officiated. —New York Herald. It is rumoured that Captain Houston Stewart will leave the Admiralty and take up the vacant appointment of Admiral Superintendent of Devonport Dockyard, and that Rear-Admiral Sir James Stirling will go to the Admiralty; also that Rear-Admiral Berkeley will leave the Admiralty, and succeed Rear-Admiral Prescott in the superintendence of this dockyard.—Plymouth Times. THE AUSTRIAN SP!' CASE.—The inquest on the body of the deceased Austrian spy, Racidula, alias the Ba roness von Beck, was held at Birmingham yesterday before Dr. Birt Davies. The deceased, according to the medical testimony, had long suffered from aneurism, and the verdict of the jilry "Died by the visitation of God." What ; is the meaning of the phrase " recently established foreign branch of the English police force ?" When was it organized, by whose orders, and what are its duties ? We had hoped that an ignorance of our language had caused M. CHARLES DE SODEN to adopt an ambiguous expression, and that what he had really meant to say was, a foreign haute police acting in this country, but we are hurry to find that his words admit of no such mea,lings for THE FRENCH REPUBLIC we find him in a subsequent part of the letter expressly stating that the soi-disant Bsr,lness introduced herself to the Conznzissioners of Police by forwarding a letter written by Dr. HEINEMAN. HO Sir JAMES GRAHAM, the opener of the letters of MAZZINI, still continued at the Home.office ; had cet excellent ABERDEEN, the betrayer of the BANDEIRASI still continued at the Foreign-office, we should not have been at all surprised at hearing of this organization, but with Sir G. GREY as Home Secretary, and Lord PALMERSTON as Foreign Minister, we cannot even yet give entire credit to the statement. M. DE SODEN must be labouring under:some dreadful mistake, and for the honour of our common country—for his own honour —for the satisfaction of those who have ever given him an honest and disinterested support, because they believe him to be an honest, high-minded, and honourable man to be as he has himself boasted--an English Minister, we call upon Lord PALMERSTON to at once furnish some explanation on this subject, even if he cannot, but: we hope and believe he can, give to the statement an explicit and indignant denial We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Comte DE CHAMBORD has sent a missive from Froshdorff, in which he emphatically condemns the policy of MM. BERRYER and DE FALLOUX, and re t:iseS to countenance the support they are giving to the ctuse of the re-election of the PRESIDENT. The poil;Cy of the intriguers and fusionists has received an a ddi t `oral check, in the positive refusal of the Prince D E jo:tiVILLE to publish an authoritative statement that he :esigns all pretensions to the Presidency of the Repoblic, as he was requested to do by M. GUIZOT. letter has been addressed by the The following condemned prisone: s of Lyons to all their counsel : " Dear Citizens,- 1 0 our first call you hastened to give us the fraternal su,T ' ort of your eloquent and re publican voice before the 02iceptional tribunal to which we were delivered up. You .have made for us every sacrifice compatible with your dignity, and you only retired from the bar to obey an imperious duty of conscience, of right, and of liberty. Up to that time, and even in that act which an unanimous and spontaneous decision on our part had anticipated, we remained always completely united in senti ments, in principles, and in resolutions. May the same accord always exist between you for the future ; the Republic awaits its safety, its happiness, and its glory from the sacred union of all her children. It is at the moment when the court-martial is about to pronounce sentence on us, that, seated on these benches, where the remembrance of you encourages, protects, and defends us, we have addressed to you this solemn homage of our gratitude and of our unchangeable de votedness. Bo assured that whether within bolts or at liberty, we are and shall remain your most affectionate brethren and your most constant friends. Your devotedness, your friendship, and the sym pathies of the people for whom we suffer, add infinite joys to the triumph of those on whom irons are about to fall, and reserve inexhaustible consolations for the tem porary tortures of those who will be exposed to them. We embrace you with all our hearts. THE PRISONERS OP THE CONSPIRACY. " (Signed) Thouret, A. Gent, Chevarsus, Caril, Borel, Alaimo, Grill, Caussanel, Merle, jun., Auriol, Berthoumieux, Petibon, J.

It is generally considered that the whole of the proceedings before the court-martial are illegal, and that the Court of Cessation, acting on the precedent established in a precisely similar case in 1832, will declare them null and void. The account of the potato crop is most gloomy. The following is from the Siecle : " The potato disease is becoming general. To the de partmonts already noticed as affected, we have to add the Marne, the Cote d'Or, and Vuncluse. In Alsace, in the neighbourhood of Colmar, it has made great ravages. In the neighbourhood of Gray, Upper Saone, the tuber cle is seriously affected. In the Manche the decease is increasing in violence: fields that eight days ago were unaffected are now completely destroyed, so that not a leaf is to be seen."

The difference between the courts of Berlin and Wurtemburg, which has continued for some months, has just terminated ; and Baron DE BERLICHINGEN has been nominated Envoy of Wurtemburg to the Prussian Government. Tha Emperor of AUSTRIA left Vienna on the 28th ult. for Tsehl and Verona. A letter from Vienna of the 27th ult., in the Prus sian Gazette, states that Prince SCHWARTZENBERG, President of the Council of Ministers, has addressed a circular to all the Austrian Embassies at foreign Courts, in which he informs them of the Imperial decrees recently issued on the revision of the Con stitution. The correspondent adds that the Episcopal Synod of Serbia, that was to meet at Carlowitz in October next, has been adjourned until further orders. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The negotiations between Denmark and Austria have taken an unfavourable turn, and the Austrian army will not evacuate the Duchies for some time. A change in the Danish Ministry is spoken of. ITALY. The Croce di Savoia of Turin, of the 29th ult., states that rumours of a change of Ministry are afloat in that capital. It is believed the Marquis D'AZEG LIO will be sent to Paris as Sardinian Ambassador, and that Count REVEL will be entrusted with the portfolio of Foreign Affairs, and Chevalier Crugaitio with that of Public Instruction, while Cavouu will assume the Presidency of the Council, without giving up the finances.

ANOTHER FATAL COLLIERY ACEIDENT.—BRISTOL, SEPT. 1, 5 r.m.—lnformation has just reached this city of another dreadful colliery accident which occurred this after noon at Kinsgwood, near this city, by which one man, if not more, has lost his life, and five others have been sent in to the Bristol Infirmary, dreadfully mangled. The names of the sufferers are—George English, John Bright, Joseph Parker, William Wiltshire, and Nathaniel Dix. The par ticulars of the calamity are not yet known, but it is cur rently reported that there are at the pit other dead bodies, and some poor fellows too seriously injured to be removed. THE LONDON ART-UNION EXHIBITION. The exhibition of works of art selected by the prizeholders was opened to the subscribers and their friends on Monday, in the Suffolk-street Gallery. A selection has been made, too, from the purchases of former years, so that the collection as a whole is large and interesting. The council have very properly kept the pictures of the year separate, giving one side and end of the large room and of a second room to the new works, and the corresponding side and end to those of previous years. A third room is filled with water-colour drawings.—Builder. LEASE OF MONALTRIE HOUSE BY THE PREMIER. — Lord John Russell has taken a lease of Monaltrie House, Deeside, for a period, we believe, exactly corresponding to the length of time over which her Majesty's residence at Bal moral is expected to extend. Monaltrie House is romanti cally situated near Ballater, about ten miles from Balmoral Castle.—Patriot. The funds now subscribed towards the erection of the proposed church at Balsall Heath amount to nearly 2,2001., and from the active steps that are being taken, we doubt not that a sufficient sum will shortly be raised to war rant the committee in commencing the church, the plans of which have been approved, and highly commended by the Winces* Diocesan §Nicty.—.Birmingho7n Gazette. 11'1z:rms. don Paid.

A great many mines still remain to be explored or properly worked. There aro celebrated mines, it appears, in the Apache country, near the head waters of the Gila. At one time es many as 500 men were engaged in them, and they are said to have yielded abundantly, and to have made the fortune of the Spanish proprietors, who then aban doned: them owing to the hostilities of the Indians. The ore is a red oxide of copper, with native copper disseminated through it, occurring in nests and seams through a decomposed feldspathic porphyry, which rock or gangue is, from its softness, easily worked with the picks, and needs no blasting, thus essentially re ducing the cost of mining. From the purity and easy redution of the ore, the expense of preducing the metal by the smelting operation was small, and easily effected, iu a very rude furnace, the cinders of which contain a great deal of reduced copper. At the time the mine was worked the state of Chihuahua was coining a great deal of copper currency, for which they paid a high price, and for which purposa the copper from this ore, from its purity, was admirably suited, and supplied the mint. At the high price of provisions and labour, the mines, rich as they seem to be, would not yield much profit. When some of the fertile villages in the neighbourhood are cultivated, labour and provisions will be cheaper. Within half a mile of the presidio are several large hills of magnetic iron ore, similar to the Pilot Knob and Snow Mountain of Missouri. This ore could be, at a small cost, conver t e d i nto b ar i ron, heated in a Catlin forge, the hills abounding in timber fit for fuel. About four miles south-west of the mine of copper formerly were worked some gold mines, which are said to have yielded well, but which were never extensively worked, on account of the Indians. Some of the old shafts have been recently opened by some Americans, who aro said to be making an ounce per diem. The gold occurs in scales and plates, in a quartz vein which very much resembles the auriferous quartz of Georgia. Parallel with the gold vein is a vein of sul phuret of lead (Galena), which, on reducing to lead, was found to contain sixteen ounces to the cwt., which is con sidered a rich ore. The following, relative to the state of the Cotton mar ket at Now Orleans, on the 9th tilt., is from the Circular of Messrs. Schroeder and Mummy, published by Mr. James Irvine, of Liverpool:- " Since the date of our last Circular of 12th July we have had a succession of unfavourable steamers from Europe, and our market in consequence has been in a very unsettled state; prices have been extremely irre gular, and though continually tending downwards, the decline is not so heavy as under other circumstances would have been the case. The stock for sale is now reduced to an unusually small compass, being estimated at the highest about 8,000 hales, the greatest, part of which is held under limits; and again, a large proportion of that offered for sale consisting of the better grades, for which there is little or no demand. The tenour of the advises from the country have rendered factors also much less pressing in sales. " The transactions sum up 28,500 bales, of which 10,500 bales during the first, 8,500 bales during the se cond, 5,500 bales during the third, and 4,000 bales this week, taken mostly for Great Britain, with a fair pro portion for the continent of Europe and the North. " The first bale of new crop made its appearance on the 25th ult., and since then several bales have been received; some of the same classing good middling have been sold at 10 cents. " The prospects for the growing crop on the bottom lands are still all that can be desired, and the yield pro mises to be very large. On the Uplands, however, the excessive drought of the last two months has exercised a very prejudicial influence; the plant is reported to be small and in bloom to the top, and is now in many parts shedding its fruit. " It is yet too early to form any opinion of the extent of the crop, but it appears that the prospects on the hill lands at present are by no means better than they were last year, whilst the bottom lands, from not having suf fered from overflows this season, may yield considerably over last year's production; this, however, will depend very much on the weather hereafter. " The following quotations must be considered merely nominal, and applying to Mississippi Cottons, the greater portion of transactions having consisted of Tennessee and North Alabama lists:-Ordinary to good ordinary, sd. to std.; middling, 6id. to 7d.; good middling, 'ld. to Bd.; middling fair, Sid. to 84d.; fair, 9d. " Sales during the last four weeks 28 500 bales. Re ceipts at this port since Ist Sept. 943,950 bales, against 789,302 bales last year. Increase of receipts at all the ports up to latest dates, 274,257 bales." Considerable interest is telt in the City at the intelli gence from Sydney of alleged gold discoveries at Ba thurst, and a confirmation is deemed very necessary before much importance can be attached to the news. It will be remembered we had similar stories from Port Philip, though not so well authenticated, a long time since. 1 4x.n 1 0 0 1 0 0 3 6 8 A letter from Mr. Weisweiller states — "I have seen the Minister of Finance and some of the members of the Commission for the Public Debt, and lam glad to be able to inform you that the Go vernment agree to have the Coupons of the New Bo n d s payable in London and in Paris, in sterling money and in francs, as heretofore. "The measures for the conversion will be taken as soon as possible, and it is to take place in London, Paris, and Amsterdam. " For this purpose Senor Ronorgo, who is actually here, is to return to Parts and London in the course of the present month, in order to come to an understanding with the committees and the financial agents abroad, for a reciprocal satisfactory arrangement of the whole concern." The exchange at Haraburgh on L,Andc,n !ast week was 13.4 and gold was at C 2621-. Grain was fiat, but coffee very thin. At Amsterdam, on the 31st ultimo, Dutch Two-and a-111.1f per Cants. wore 584; and Austrian and Spanish Bomb advanced.
