It is needless to say that in Mr. DoiscAN's hands the suhiect was treated clearly and intelligibly, and that much sound information was conveyed to the audience, who listened with anxious attention to the salutary truths enunciated by the talented monetary reformer. It cannot be supposed that the people of Manches ter will long remain indifferent to the great problem, on the proper solution cf which their own welfare and prosperity, in common with that of the great body of the industrious classes, so wholly depends. They have hitherto exercised an important influence on the great economical questions of the day, and they will surely arouse themselves from the state of quiescence into which they had fallen, or rather into which they had suffered themselves to be lulled by incompetent leaders. The establishment of free trade, the abolition of the pernicious monopoly which, under the name of "pro tection," so long bung an incubus over the land, in creasing the price of food to the over-toiled artizan, and enervating the energies and sapping the prosperity of its warmest advocates—the sturdy yeomen of England—who suffered thera!elves to be seduced by its fatal blandishments, was owing to the shrewd, practical common sense, the vigorous action of the men of Manchester. That " great fact," the Anti-CJrn-law League, sprung into existence and was nurtured among themselves, until it finally attained the gigantic proportions wl - :ich enabled it to cru,h the monster monopoly. During their apprenticeship they learned how to conduct a peaceful agitation, to convey the voice of public opinion, temperately but firmly expressed, to the reluctant cars of the Legisla ture, and discovered that no merely human power could withstand the irresistible farce of the popular will. Such persons may fur a time b 9 deceived, but they cannot lorg be kept in blis,ful ignorance. They may be misled by fallacies, but they will not continue blindfolded when accurate iLformation is attainable, and in Mr. DUNCAN they have been so fortunate as to find a competuut instructor, possessed of the highest qualifications for the task he has und:-!rtaken. The subjects selected by the talented lecturer were " labour, trade, and currency." He pointed out the intimate connexion between them, and proved that the employment of labour, the briskness and activity of trade, depended on a currency adequate to the wants and exigencies of the country—that a sufficient cir culating medium—a proper representative of ?slue— was the very life-blood of industry, the motive power which sets the wheels in action, and produces the de sired results. He lucidly explained the intolerable evils arising from our present unwise, impolitic, and inequitable system, which is equally opposed by the principles of justice and of expediency, and he traced those evils to their very source and origin —the fuul sink of "bullionism." Tne parrot-cry of "over-production," the specious fallacy put forward by the hullionists to shield their favourite theory from the reproaches of those who have suffered deeply and bitterly through its agency, was well commented upon by Mr. DUNCAN. " What," he asked, " was the definite meaning we attached to the preposition over,' when we used the term • over production ?' As no one objected to production,' the evil, if it existed, must be in the comparative significaney of the preposition. To say that there was production over' the natural desires and appe tite's, or wants, was absurd, cad must remain so until history produced cireurnsemus !(.r which every man, woman, and child Lad more to tat and clothe themselves with than their natural appetenciesrequired. The only sense that could be given to the preposition was that mere goods were pr..duced than there was metallic money to circulate, so that the production was over the quantity of money permitted by the Acts of 1819 and 1344 to be in circulation. The error, therefore, was clearly in bullionism itself, and not in the industrial capacities of the human race." Mr. DUNCAN was right ; how could there have beeia "over-production" when a large portion of the com munity where undergoing the most d(florable priva ticiaa ? Of what was the over production ? Wiwi it of food ? Let the myriads of starving wretches who were unable to procure sufficient of the coarsest de scription of nutriment to alleviate the pangs of hunger reply ! Was it clothing ? How many of those scantily fed were even worse clad shivering in rag., scarcely sufficient for the purposes of decency, and quite insdequate to shelter and protect their wretched wearers from the inclemency of the weather ? It is cruel, nay more, it is impious to speak of " over-production" under such circum stances. There cannot be over-production so long as a single human want remains unsatisfied, so long as any man able and willing to work is unable to exchange his only capital, his labour, for a suffi ciency of the ordinary necessaries of life, and requires an additional supply of those articles which are said to be " produced" in excess. If there be a deficiency to supply all demands some must abate in their re quirements, in order that all may have sufficient to sustain existence. The case is similar to that of a vessel in which there is a scarcity of provisions. The crew arc placed upon what is termed "short allow ance," a necessity to which even the officers must sub mit. But what would be thought of the management if" short allowance" proved the rule and not the ex ception, if the sufferings of the crew were deliberately planned, and their lives endangered, in order to en hance the profits of th 3 voyage, or to carry out some hobby of an influential party in the management ? But this is what has been done by the framers of our monetary code. There is sufficient for all, but the measure is wanting. It is as if a municipal law were passed, by which no bread could be sold in the city of London unless it had been weighed at certain scales deposited at the Mansion-house. This would clearly be insufficient to weigh all the bread required for the wants of the community. A favoured few, who had priority over others, might think the law a good one because it in sured " full weight ;" but what would the multitude say who were compelled to enter into a scramble, and frequently to come away without procuring the ne cessary supplies ? .They could obtain an abundance at the shops of the bakers, if not prevented from going there, directly, and they would speedily show their just indignation and compel a repeal of the obnoxious regulation. The man who endeavoured to show that the difficulty was ascribable to " over , production" on the part of the bakers, and not to the deficiency of accommodation provided by the civic authorities for the transfer of bread, would be " laughed to scorn." But such an argument is gravely put forward by the bullionists, and actually referred' to and considered tenable by persons calling themselves statesmen and occupying high positions in the national councils. Mr. DuNcaN showed the punishment that followed similar, presumption in 1821 and 1826. In the for mer year the farmers petitioned Parliament fur re lief for the egricultural distress, arising from the " excess of the harvest"—the distress being ascribed to " too great an abundance of food !" Within six short months the wail of agony was heard from the famine-stricken people of Ireland ! After the panic of 1825 the manufacturing districts humbly besought the assistance they so urgently required, and were told that they had been guilty of " over-production'' —that they had been too industrious, and would have been more prosperous had they exhibited more sloth and i'lleness. Within the same year the "cast off army clothing was sent down to cover the naked. ness of the very people who were charged with th e sin of producing too much clothing." As Mr. DUN CAN truly remarks, " both these were cases of under production of money, and not of over-production of materials." THE FRENCH REPUBLIC We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The proceedings of the society of the 10th Decem ber have attracted the attention of General CHAN GARNIER and of M. CARLIER, the Prefect of Police, and its members are consfquently strictly watched. Count Mous has, it is said, joined M. DE SALVANDY in his attempt to bring about a reconciliation between the two branches of the Bourbon race. All the mem bers of the Orleans family will shortly assemble at Ostend, when they will be joined by M. DE SAnvatini, who will report progress. M. TuIERS still declares his opinion that the only restoration of monarchy possible in France is in the person of the Count DE PARIS. M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN has written a long article in the Presse in favour of a revision of the Constitu tion, in which he recommends the abolition of the office of President, but at the same time admits that should the office not be abolished the re-election of Lours NAPOLEON BONAPARTE to the Presidency is certain. The .Nepaulese ambassador, JUNG BAHADOOR, was at the opera on Wednesday night, and was so de lighted with the dancing of CEittro that he pro ceeded behind the scenes, and uuclasping from his wrist a valuable diamond bracelet, presented it to the Diesse. The PRESIDENT arrived in Paris at half after eleven o'clock on Thursday night, by the Rouen Railway. The Prefect of Police and the Prefect of the Seine had gone to Bonnieres to meet him. All the villages and towns through which he passed on Thursday evening were illuminated. At Falaise his reception was enthusiastic, and he was obliged to ad dress the people from the balcony of the Hotel de Ville. At Argantan he was presented with an ad dress by the mayor and municipal council. We read in the Evenement :—" We are assured that MM. DUCHATEL and MONTALIVET are about to leave for Ostend, where the august widow of Lours PHILIPPE is to arrive to-morrow or Saturday, accom panied by the Duchess D'OBLEANS and her two sons, the Duke and Duchess DE NEMOURS, the Prince and Princess DE JOIN vILLE, and the Duke and Duchess D'A.UMALE. King LEOPOLD had, it is said, invited his mother-in-law to reside at Brussels, but the con seil de famille has decided otherwise, at least for the present, and all the family will remain for six weeks at Ostend, in the Hotel d'Allemagne, which has been prepared for their reception." The Patrie says :—" The Queen of the BELGIANS, it is said, is in much more delicate health than was supposed. Her malady is making such rapid pro gress that her medical attendants are seriously uneasy, and it has been thought advisable by the King of the BELGIANS to send fir Dr. CUOMEL, of Paris, the special medical attendant of the Orleans family. A letter to that e ff ec t arr i ve d on W ednesday in Paris, and Dr. Criousz. set MY the same night." We read in the , Patrie :—" The news announced on Wednesday by the Journal (lei Debuts of the de parture of M. DE SALVA NDY for Frohsdorff, where the Count DE CH A MIuRD was ex- pecteJ, has been the subject of much conver sation. The most contradictory and the most exag- gerated rumours have been disseminated. One of the most important men of the majority affirmed to us yesterday that there is nothing in this journey of M. DE SALVANDY but an act of refined propriety, which he is charged to accomplish between the two exiled families. Politics have nothing whatever to do with the journey. The follow ing, we are informed, is what has taken place : During the short visit which M. DE SALVANDY thought fit to make to Wiesbaden, he was with the Count DE CHAMBIRD when the news arrived of the death of Louis PHILIPPE. M. DE SALVANDY was charged by the PRINCE to express from him to MARIE AMELIE his regret and sympathy for the misfortune which had fallen on her and her family. M. DE SALVANDY, in consequence, proceeded to Claremont to carry the simple compliments of condolence of the Count DE CHAMBORD to the widow of Louis Pniniren, and in exchange for that kind act on the part of the Prince, MARIE AME LIE in her turn charged M. DE SALVANDY to carry back to her nephew the expression of her thanks and sympathy. That is the whole explanation of the presence cf M. DE SALVANDY on the road to Frohs dorff. There is nothing more or less in the news of the Journal des Debats." The King of DENMARK bas just sent to M. p E „. sicsor the grand cross of Danebrog, on the occasion of the affairs of Schleswig. The Bulletin de Paris states that the speech of the PRESIDENT of the Republic at Caen was yesterday the subject of discussion by the permanent commis sion of the National Assembly, and that it was even proposed by the minority that the Assembly should be convoked to take it into consideration. This strange proposition, says the Bulletin, was imme diately rejected. At an extraordinary general meeting of the share. holders of the Orleans to Bordeaux Railway Com pany, the question of accepting► the law of August 6, 1850, by which the concession is prolonged from twenty-seven years and some days to fifty years, , A as brought for word for consideration. The meeting was a m( st numerous one, nearly 1,300 shareholders being present, representing upwards of 52,000 shares. After a most able state ment made by .M. BENAT, one of the directors, in which he discussed the precise bearing of each of the provisions of the law, the meeting, in accordance with 'he opinion of the board of directors, decided unanimously, minus one voice, that it accepted the law in question. This decision was followed by loud applause._ The Marquis of NORMANDY has returnel to Peri?. The Five per Ctnts. opened tc-day at S4E, ad. vAnced to 941. 100 , but subsequently declined to 931. 80c. ; the Three per Cents. closed at 58'. 5c.; and the New Roman Loan at 784 f.

There is no rest for the wicked ; no sooner was the arrival of HAYNAU at Cologne known than the people assembled for the purpose of " bettering the example" set them by the London draymen, and the " Austrian woman flogger" again owed his escape to the police, to whom he gave himself in charge, and who pro tected him. The Emperor of AUSTRIA left Vienna on the 9th for Topli•z. Baron MAYENDORF, the new Russian Ambassador to Austria, has arrived at Vienna; Count AIEDFAI, his predecessor, left the city on the 7th. The Frankfort Zeitung publishes the following from Cassel of the Bth : " Five persons have been arrested for having torn down the decree which declares the country in a state of siege. M. Heise, the editor of the Frcions, has escaped imprisonment by flight. The printing-office of the New Gazelle of Hesse is still occupied militarily, and the proprietor of the journal, M. Oetk( r, and NI. She el, the priut, , r, were threatened with imprison ment if they made the slightest resistance. This morning all the numbers cf this journal were seized. A complaint has been addressed to the Ministry on the subject, and it is expected that a civil action will be commenced. Last evening the permanent commission of the States addressed to the public prosecutor the fol lowing indictment against the Minister of State, M. de Hasseni.flug, Major do Haynau, and Councillor de Baumbach, in consequence of the decree of the Elector, which places the country in a state of war:—' The per manent commission sees in this decree a serious abuse of power, and considers it even as a crime of high trea son, according to the terms of the decree of 14th Fe bruary, 1795, considering that it has for its object to do away with the organization and the constitution of the country. It has, in consequence, resolved to impeach the Ministers for a violation of Art. 61 of the Commis sion, and re quests the public prosecutor to proceed con formably to paragraph 75 of the law of judicial organi zation, and to immediately arrest the accused.' The public prosecutor then replied as follows:—' The public prosecutor recognises in the acts of the Ministers of which the permanent commission of the states complains, a violation of the constitution; but Ministers who violate the constitution cannot be impeached but by the states, and not by the permanent commission, and only before the high court. Consequeatly the demand of the com mission for the arrest and impeachment of the Ministers cannot be followed up.' A letter of the 9th says that although the public prosecutor has ruji cted the charge brought against the Ministers the Procurator-General has ordered the Ministers to be arrested. At Hanau the municipal council refused to publish the last decree of the Government." MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The Cotten Market at Liverpool yesterday was firmer, the sales being estimated at from 5,000 to 6,000 bal. s, of which 1,500 Pernams were taken for e xport at 81d. per lb.—ln Railway Shares a good business was done at fully previous rates. The direc;ion in which the accounts of the Bank of England were tending last week, had been preserved again up to the 7th inst., that is, the accomodation afforded upon securities was extended, without any larger amount of notes being in circulation, because of the addition made to the sum of the public deposits. The surplus profits of the corporation were larger, and the amount of the precious metals sustained a slight diminution. The balances cf private depositors were reduced, and will probably he lower yet ere the transfer books re-open. The notes reserved in the banking de partment increased to some extent. Compared:with the previous week the results are as follows:-- Notes Issued ... 30,100,575 Decrease ... 3 240 ... 3,550.244 ••• 13 582 ... 8,885,786 ... 624.505 ... 9,106,675 ... 174.424 ... 1,260,758 • • 44,256 ...

Paper on Amsterdam was negotiated at 12 14 to 2; on Antwerp at 25 52i to 55; and on Trieste at 11 52 to 53. Summing up the Railway traffic for the past week, there is every remon to be gratified with the result, whe ther we take the lines of England, Ireland. or Scotland, and we may observe, by the way, that in France there has been a decided increase, although a special cause may have contributed thereto, viz., the tours of' the Pre sident. Taking the returns as they stand alphabetically, we find an increase to the following amount:—Aber deep, 801/.; Amiens and Boulogne, 7161.; Bristol and Exeter, 6841.; Caledonian, 666/.; Cheater and Holy head, 1,3501.; Eastern Counties, 597/.: Edinburgh and Glasgow, 248/.; Great Northern, 3.574/.• Great South ern and Western of Ireland, 1,2291. ; Great Western, 3,256/.; North-Western, 4 5131; Blackwell, 1911; Brighton, 1,185/4 South-Western, 2,120; Midland, 2801.; North Stafford, 499/ ; East Lancashire, 558/4 South-Eastern, 3,862/.; York and North Midland, 8381.; and York, Newcastle, and Berwick, 2,186/.

The accounts from Manchester, Leeds, &0., state that business this week has improved. The exports of the precious metals from London during the week to Thursday last were 101,814 ounces of silver to Belgium and Hamburgb; 2,500 ounces and 86/. in gold to France. The Amsterdam Stock Market was very buoyant on Thursday for Dutch Stock, the Two-and-a-Half per Cents. being 57i to 5-16; Spanish Three per Cents. were higher, but the Five per Cents. remained about the pre vious rates. Mexican were not quite so good. Portu guese were without alteration. The English Stuck Market is very quiet, and the transfer b.ioks are closed for several investments.

BREAD. 1% 2 5 3/4 19% 78 RAILWAY COLLISION —On Wednesday evening last, a little befbre eight o'clock, a collision took place at the Black-lane station, on the Lancashire and Yol kshire Railway, under the following circumstances:—ln consequence of the Radcliffe races, special trains had been running several days between the Bury and Black-lane stations, and at the time of the occurrence a train was at the Black-lane station, near to the race-ground, taking up passengers for Bury.: A goods' train proceeding frcm Bolton to Blue Pits came up before the other train could be moved out of the way, consequently a collision took place, which we are happy to say was unat tended by the loss of human life. When the train arrived at Bury many of the passengers were bleeding in consequence of injuries sustained by the violence of the shock; some had lost their hats, and one person had fainted. Many of the passengers were under the influence of liquor, and the sta tion-ground for some time after presented a sad scene of con tention. We understand that the signal was properly_ ex hibited at the Black-lane station, and the engine -driver en deavoured to check the train, but could not do it effectually in sufficient time. The number of public-houses in Liverpool is 1,480, and of beer-shops 700, or in all 2,180. Taking the population at 150,000, this is one public-house or beer-shop to every 160 individuals, men, women, and children. Taking each family to amount to four persons, there is ow public house or beer-shop to every forty adult males. - - COLLIERS' STRIKE AT MONKWEARMOUTH.-- About three hundred of the hewers at Monkwearmouth col liery struck work on Monday. They allege, as the cause of this proceeding, that the owners had changed the mode of working the coal in a portion of the mine, to a system which is termed the Derbyshire Long-wall. The hewers had been paid at the rate of 9d. and 10d. per yard for working the seam, the average price being 9d. ; but the owners had changed the mode of payment, viz., to pay the men by the score, which would be a reduction. Ten yards of coal make one score, which, at the average pri ce o f 9d. per yar d , would be 7s. 6d per score; the men for blasting had Is. 6d., the fillers 2s. 6d., which amounted altogether to I ls. 6d. per score ; and the owners wish to pay them for the same work Bs. per score, and the workmen were to fill and blast the coal and find their own gunpowder, and be subject to set out and lay out, which would amount to a reduction of every coal hewer's wages from 2s. to is 9d. per day. The strike is not yet terminated. An officer of a regiment in Ireland won largely on the last Derby, but could not get leave from Ireland ; he commissioned a brother officer to settle his book at Tatter sall's, and, receiving a letter from a person (to whom he had lost 151.), concluded that his friend would pay, and took no notice of the letter. This party, in consequence, posted him at Tattersall's, and the commander of the district, hearing of it, compelled the officer to sell out. The officer has 30,0001. a year, and spent 9,0001. a year in the regiment, for his purse was ever open to the officers and men, and he is most deeply regretted by all the corps. Freeman's Journal. FISLIING EXPLOITS IN NORWAY.—Our townsman, Mr. J. W. Lascelles, has recently returned from a fishing excursion in Norway. It appears ue was occupied seventeen snccessive days, from the 27th June to the 16th July, fishing for salmon in the river Topdal ; he used the fly, and his pis catorial operations were continued from five in the morning until ten o'clock at night. The number of salmon caught was 175, weighing in the whole 2 1141 be. The weight of the largest was 321b5., and the least 71bs. On one of the days he caught 1711bs. weight, and on several other days 1301b5., 1551b5., 1621132., and 1631b5. The river is now closed against English anglers.—Liverpool Mercury. ;To tell what a man says, pay attention to the tongue. To ascertain what Le means, pay attention to the eye.

THE lIEIGHT OF IMPUDENCE.—Some time ago a fellow was charged in the Glasgow Police-court with steal ing a herring barrel from a person in Stockwell-street.

Imrector Howard stated that Inver in his life had be seen two men devour more ravenously their food than did the prisoners last night, wLen some victuals was given them. Mr. HENRY—What do you say in answer to the charge? The prisoners —We have been seafaring men, but being disabled, we are unable to go back again to the service, and for the last four or five weeks we have bee❑ literally starving. Unable to bear our state any longer, e determined un committing a robbery, as we wanted to be transported, and we a:e only sorry we were not successful in our attempt.

The following letter has been published, addressed by the King of PRUSSIA to the inhabitants of Neuf chatel : " I have received the numerous addresses, in which my faithful people in Neufchatel have chosen, in spite of all the difficulties of their present position, to express the grief they feel in contemplating the attempt of May 21.

Accounts have been received from Constantinople to the 24th ult. On the 22d the British Ambassador, Sir STRAT FORD CANNING, WIS admitted to a private audience by the SULTAN. He had the honour of submitting a letter from Queen VICTORIA announcing the birth of Prince ARTHUR. The Netherlands Minister, M MOLLERAS, was also presented to the SULTAN, and delivered two autograph letters from the King of the •NETHERLHNDS—the first announcing the death of Prince MAu.arcE ; and the second containing the KING'S answer to a letter from the SULTAN, with which MEIIEMILT Au, Ambassador Extraordinary from the Porte to London, had been sent in a similar capacity to the Hague, fur the purpose of congratu lating the KING on his accession. Several important changes have taken place in the administration of the , provinces by an Impetial re script under date of the 20th.

ITALY. M. PINELLr, Envoy of the Court of Sardinia, has been admitted to a private audience by Cardinal Arc- TONELLI and by his HOLINESS. Nothing has tran spired as to the result of these conversations; but it is difficult to foresee an early solution to the deplo rable collision, so long as the Cabinet of Turin shall not make concessions on its starting poin t. The Court of Rome is offended, both by the nature of the Piedmontese reforms, and the manner in which they have been effected. It is too prudent not to resign itself to a concordat which would regularise such of those innovations which seem to have become a necessity. But so long as an attempt shall be made to impose the concordat as an approbation of all that has been done, it is to be feared that it will accord nothing.
