Talent must in the ordinary course of things become marketable, like other valuable commodities; end genius is at length obtaining $ proipect of somethiug more substantial than mere fame as a reconiFense. For many years the evils of which we are about to witness the tardy, bat, we trust, the effectual dissipation, had been notorious to all reformers gifted even with a moderate amount of intelligence. Hence arose an 'agiititio . ' x 'which revealed the hith erto unsus -.T.:l*el, -n po , ers in Parliamentary oratory of I hs42;:elegan and classic dramatist who h as I.L-7,-,nYsmune then . been created a Judge, and of that 1 5 , - dcomprehensive intellect from which o.ean 811 coma f or th so me of the most remark . 4v.e.rery works of our generation. It is "` fautarY to think that there is, now-a•clays, some ~~. THE SUN, prospect of fruition to those germs of improvement in regard to the question of international copyright, which were nurtured in the first instance by these two distinguished men of lette rs. After the lapse of so many years of what seemed to be merely una vailing regret, the fact referred to must prove emi nently agreeable to Sir THOMAS Noos TAL YOURD, Knt., now that he has not only been endowed with the bay but with the ermine : nor will the intelligence prove, we are satisfied, less acceptable to Sir EDWARD BULWER LYTTON, Bart., now that an author unsurpassed in popularity has been numbered amongst the ranks of the landed aristocracy of England. Elsewhere will be found published in our columns, the most important articles contained in the Literary Treaty about to be ratified between the French and the British Governments. From that document it will be perceived that there is everything promised which can at all tend to the advantage, not only of the au thors and artists of the two countries, but to their dramatists, in like manner, to their musical com posers and their publishers. So comprehensive, in deed, is the nature of the aid about to be extended by these powers to the important classes above enume rated, that in the very first article of the treaty we find particularized as the objects of the proposed change, books, dramatic works, musical compositions,. drawings, paintings, sculptures, engravings, and lithographs, with every other conceivable production, whether of the fine arts or of, literature. Surely the project, therefore, which we are here commend ing to general admiration, is in no respect exclusive, or narrowed to an inadequate circumference. It em braces within its ample range every intellectual crea tion entitled to such assistance. Oace carried into operation, the artists and the literati of the two greatest countries in Europe will be endowed with rights and privileges singularly calculated to forward the cause of their reciprocal advancement. We shall then see an end of that de testable system of piracy which on either side of the Channel has tended to rob these cultivators of taste and of knowledge of the pecuniary benefits to which, of all men, they are of course the most indubi tably entitled. Thenceforth no spurious editions of the popular writers of France will be foisted upon the English community, to the author's injury both in pocket and reputation. Thenceforth no cheap tran scripts from the most remarkable effusions of our own men of letters will be disseminated among our neigh bours in a manner equally detrimental to the victims of this nefarious scheme of plunder. Translations, moreover, will, under the shield of this humane treaty, become more satisfactorily authenticated. BEEAZGER will scatter his " Songs" among the homesteads of Albion, and MOORE his Chansons among the cottages of Normandy, without witnessing the golden results of their lyrical genius tinkling into th e hands only of the deliberate and remorseless pilferer. .lIACAULAY's Histoire d'Angleterre and LAMARTINE'S " History of the Restoration ;" DICKENS'S Vie de Copperfield, and HuGo ' s " Last Days of a Con demned" will tend alike to secure to their respective authors a remuneration in some instances scarcely in ferior to that obtained on the occasion of their original appearance. From the second article in the Treaty it will be seen that the protection granted to works in the language of their writers will in like manner be ex tended equally to translations. This protection, however, is only granted under certain restrictions or provisoes. It will confer a right of translation upon the first translator of a work, only upon particular conditions. What those conditions are may be very readily explained. "The author of any work" (says the third article of the Treaty) " published in one of the two countries, who shall have declared his intention of reserving his right of translation, shall, from the day of the first publi cation of the translation of his work, authorised by him, enjoy during five years the privilege of protec tion against the publication of any translation of the same work unauthorised by him, in the other coun try, and this on the following conditions :-Ist. The original work shall be registered and deposited in one of the two countries within a period of three months from the day of the first publication in the other country. 2dly. The author must have declared his intention of reserving to himself the right of translation on the title-page of his work. adly. At least a part of the said authorised translation must have appeared within a year of the date of registration and deposit of the original ; and the whole of it must have appeared within the space of three years from the date of the said deposit. 4'Lly. The translation must have been published in one of the two countries, and be registered and depo sited as directed in Art. 8. As regards works pub lished in parts, it is sufficient that the declaration by which the author reserves his right of translation be expressed in the first port. Nevertheless, in so far as regards the period of five years assigned by this article to the author for the exercise of his privilege of translation, every part shall be considered a new work ; each shall be registered and deposited in one of the two countries within three months from the day of its first publication in the other." The ar • rangemeet here projected is sufficiently important of its kind to warrant us in making the above lengthened quotation. With reference, again, to the protection extended to dramatic productions, it is as well to observe that it is determined by the fourth article of the Treaty, that " in order to have a right to legal protection, in so far as regards the translation of a dramatic work, the author must publish his translation and deposit of the original work. It is understood that the protection stipulated by the pre. sent article is not intended to prohibit binei fide iwi tstion or the adaptation of dramatic works to the respective theatres of France or England respectively; but only to prevent printed translations." Such are the more remarkable features in the interesting docu ment referred to, a document realizing, in regard to France at least, some of the aspirations most ear nestly cherished by those who have long been pecu liarly interested in furthering the cause both of Art and of Literature. Mr. RAMSFIAY has been removed from his office as Judge of the County Court of Liverpool, by order of the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. Such is the decision of the Earl of CARLISLE on the memorial presented to him from Liverpool, after the pro tracted and dispassionate inquiry recently held at Preston respecting the accuracy of the allegations contained therein. We can easily conceive the deep pain with which that amiable and accomplished nobleman arrived at the conclusion that he could not, in the conscientious discharge of his public duty, permit Mr. RAMSHAY to retain the situation to which he had been appointed by Lord CARLISLE himself within a comparatively recent period. It would be at best a disagreeable task to pass such a sentence on any educated gentle man, but doubly so when the party was a personal friend, whose family had rendered long and faithful services to that of the Noble Earl. No alternative, however, remained. The charges actually established proved beyond the possibility of doubt that Mr. Itemsnar was not fitted for the dis charge of the important and arduous avocations of his office. We are willing to believe that his unfit ness was produced by ill health, under which the Learned Gentleman has been suffering for a consider able period, which materially increased his natural irritability, and deprived him of the imperturbable patience so essential to the due performance of the judicial functions, more especially in the local tri bunals, where, from the absence of duly qualified advocates, it is subjected to the most stringent tests almost daily. Had there been a bar in consta n t attendance in the County Court of Liver p o ol , it is scarcely p oss ibl e that Mr. RAMSHAT would have given Way to such ebullitions of ill temper as those in which, unfortu nately for himself, he occasionally indulged. There was no check, no restraint sufficient to keep him within bounds. The occasional attendance of a bar rister, who only awaited the disposal of an isolated case in which he was retained, and wbich was brought ou at the earliest p oss ibl e o pp o rtunity to suit his con venience, could ha v e no p e r ma n e nt effect. The judge lit e r a lly f oun d hi mse lf " monarc h o f a ll h e surveyed." H e did no t see b e f ore hi m, at a ll ti mes, an independ en t an d man l y b ody of gentlemen, who o w s er o l fuulldd undue assumption fearlesslya‘ipseurmb perhaps, nexposein of tanyhe power.dce a r s e e l dereliction of Liverpool, n found him self duty it may be more correct to say supposed himself —at LONDON, liberty to follow his own vagaries, however extra vagant. He formed an idea far too exalted of the dignity of his office, and from the very extensive powers confided to his hands by the Legislature, he almost fancied himself a judicial despot, the announce ment of whose mere will and pleasure should be re ceived with abject submission by all who came within his jurisdictions. He has found himself mis • taken, but he is the first victim of the attempt to conduct the law business of the country without the assistance of barristers or attorneys, for neither are essential in County Court proceedings—and also, in the generality of cases, of vigilant reporters for an independent press. We shall not be considered as unduly favouring Mr. ResitsaAT, against whom we have spoken honestly and fearlessly when his conduct really merited cen • sure, in defending the Earl of CARLISLE from the accusation, which has been put forward by some of our Contemporaries, of having appointed an un qualified or incompetent person, or, in other words, of having most improperly disregarded the public interests through undue favouritism and an anxiety to exercise his patronage in favour of a personal friend. Mr. RAMSBAT is a member of the bar of no less than 18 years' standing. Before his appointment he had very cons id era bl e b us i ness on circuit, and enjoyed among his brother barristers the reputation of being an acute and able counsel. He had perhaps a higher character, not only in the profession but among the public generally, than nine out of ten of the County Court Judges throughout the country; and were it not for the circumstances hereinbeforementioned, and for the extraordinary delusion under which he laboured, that he could carry matters with the high hand, he would have made an efficient and useful judge. As it is, we regret that any gentleman should have placed himself in a predicament so exceedingly unpleasant, or imposed a duty so painful on the Noble Earl by whom be was appointed, and to whom he at least owed a debt of gratitude for long-continued friendship and kindness. It has been hinted that Mr. RAMSRAT will not submit to the decision without a further attempt at justification—that he will, so far as lies in his power, appeal against the judgment of the Noble Earl. Nothing can be stronger than the words of the Act (9 and 10 Victoria, c. 95). The 18th section is to the following effect :—" And be it enacted, that it shall be lawful for the said Lord Chancellor, or where the whole of the district is within the Duchy of Lancaster, for the Chancellor of the said duchy, if he shall think fit, to remove for inability or misbehaviour any such judge already ap pointed or hereafter to be appointed." Now, it will be seen that where the whole of the district is within the Duchy of Lancaster the Chancellor of the duchy may remove any judge for " inabilgy or misbehaviour." The dismissal mey be justified on either of these grounds, and from the entire circum stances of the case it is manifest that it will be placed upon the latter foundation. The interesting question ill then arise, whether the judgment of the Chancel lor of the Duchy for the time being will be considered final and conclusive, or whether the Court of Queen's Bench will review it under a writ of quo warranto. We shall not at present, and while the question is still unsettled, enter into any discussion on this point, suffice it to say, that we are perfectly satisfied with the judgment which the Noble Earl, with the assent and under the advice of his Learned Assessor, Mr. ELLis, Q.C., has pronounced. Lord CARLISLE, at least, has completely vindicated his own cha racter, and placed himself beyond the possibility of doubt or impeachment; we only regret that Mr. RAMSHAY could not come off with equally flying colours. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. At the conclusion of the sitting of the Assembly on Monday, M. CRETON demanded explanations from the Ministers of Justice and of the Interior, on the subject of the plot against the Executive, alleged by the Constitutionnel to have been on the point of ex plosion on the Monday preceding. The Hon. Repre sentative denounced the writer of the article, M. GRANIER DE CASSAGNAC, in strong terms. The Mi nister of Justice, M. DAYIEL, did not give a direct answer to the question, but contented himself with declaring that he was not responsible for rumours or newspaper articles, whereupon M. BERRYER rose, and, after observing that it was evident that M. DA TIEL had misunderstood the interpellations, he pro ceeded to address the Minister as follows : " You are at the head of the department of Justice, and you hold all the judicial reports; has anything come before your eyes to indicate the reality of such a plot?— (Hear, hear.) It you have anything, do not fail in your duty; demand from the Assembly the necessary autho risation to institute proceedings. No considerations for any one ought to be shown; it is merely a question of the accomplishment of your duty. A conspiracy has been pointed out; every information, every report must have reached you; if you have any suspicion, any indi cation sufficient to seriously occupy the attention of the country, do your duty firmly; apply, I repeat, for an authorisation to take the necessary proceedings, and those whom you will thus tend to inculpate will more than meet your wishes."—(Cries of " Hear, hear," and prolonged agitation.) "M. de Thorigny, the Minister of the Interior—l agree with M. Berryer, that it is not by interpellations to the Ministry that the present matter should be pro ceeded with. The Assembly knows the extent cf its powers; what it had to do was to put questions to him who believed in the existence of the plot.—(Exclama tions on the Right.) lam astonished that the Assembly , should so receive what I have said ; I have merely re minded it of the power which it possesses of calling to its bar such persons as insult its dignity. Using the expressions of M. Crioton himself, we candidly and frankly declare that we do not believe in the existence of any conspiracy. Had our opinion been different we should immediately have demanded authorisation to commence proceedings against those who dared to dis turb the public peace. We should have performed our duty without being stopped by any consideration." The Constitutionnel, in allusion to the speech of M. CRETON, publishes the following note, signed by M. GRANIER DE CASSAGNAC An interpellation wac made yesterday in the Legis lative Assembly by M. CrCon, relative to the article published in the morning by the Constitutional, and signed with my name. M. Ore ton was not afraid to ex press himself in the tribune in such terms that I have not to reply to him here," MM..MONET, DE LAROCHEJAQUELEIN, and VICTOR LEFRANC have presented an amendment on the Com munal Electoral Bill, proposing to reduce to one year the length of residence required for all French men not born in the commune. MM, MIOT, RICEIARDET, GREPPO, and LANOULATE have presented a proposition, having for object to re place M. PRADIE's proposition, on the responsibility of the PRESIDENT of the Republic and his Ministers. It runs thus " All persons who shall have conspired, or abetted a conspiracy tending to a royalist or imperial restorotion shall be tried with the least possible delay before the High Court of Justice. When convicted of the crime of conspiracy, they shall bo immediately placed hors la loi. In addition, they shall be condemned to a fine, the minimum and maximum of which shall be the one-half and three•fourths of their fortune. Prescription against such punishment shall not be available until after a period of 25 years, dating from the day en which the crime shall have been committed. The execution of the present law is confided to the patriotism of all Frenchmen." The Russian General, KIEL, has died in Paris. He was employed by the Emperor ncuoLAs in directing works of art in the Russian empire. The Bourse was still agitated.

A telegraphic dispatch from Hanover, dated Mon day morning, 24th inst., says : We have this moment been informed that a change of Ministry has taken place, the precursor of a complete change o f po li cy. M. DE SCHEELE has been appointed President of the new Council of Ministers." SCHEELE, the new Premier, is• the personage who advised the late King ERNEST, on his accession to the throne, to violate and destroy the constitution which had been given to Hanover by WILLIAM Iv. According to the Constitutional Journal of Bohe mia, t h e graperor of AvinuA bias gent autopaph letters to the President of the Council of the Empire, and the President of the Council of Ministers, direct ing them to hasten the revision of the constitution, and to submit a report on it without delay. The Assembly of Citizens of Bremen have resolved to send, in the name of that city, a stone with a suit able inscription for the monument about to be erected at Washington in honour of WASHINGTON. A letter from Hamburgh of the 21st states that a master tailor of that place named RUSSOK, a Hun garian by birth, and a Hungarian count named Po- TOCKI, recently arrived from London, had been ar rested at Rendsburg and brought under escort to Hamburgh. It appears that POTOCKI, who was an officer in the army of insurrection in Hungary, had fled after the disasters of KOSSUTH to Paris, and then gone to London, from which place he had written to RUSSOK to join him at Rendsburg. One of the charges against them is said to be that of attempting to seduce Austrian soldiers in garrison at Hamburgh from their duty. BRITISH RAILWAYS. Railways. Paid.

In its sitting of the 21st, the Chamber of Deputies at Turin rejected the motion of Signor BROFFERIO, amounting to a sort of vote of censure on the Mi nister of Public Instruction, and adopted the simple order of the day by a large majority. This result must chiefly be attributed to a very able speech of Count Cavoua's, in which, after disengaging the main question from the petty details i❑ which Signor BROFFERIO had skilfully enveloped it, he took his stand upon the broad ground of the general pulley of the Government, stating that this was not the first time suspicions of a retrograde policy had been stu diously fomented in the minds of the public ; but that, to remove all such doubts, he need only declare, in the name of the Cabinet, that his MAJESTY'S Go vernment had come to the irrevocable resolution not to give way to Rome in the pending questions. " We have hopes," said the Hon. Minister, " of ob taining the consent of the Holy See to the reforms which are called for; but, were our hopes deceived in this respect, we would never sacrifice the welfare and prosperity of the country to a sentiment of blind and injudicious ohedience.' HAYMARKET THEATRE. Diverting are the dilemmas of Mr. John Bonny castle, of Hatton-garden, the hero of the new farce produced at this theatre last night. Labouring under the impression that he has stolen a watch from th• person of Mr. John James Johnson, the terrified Bonnycastle decamps from his newly-married wife, and hurries to an obscure village, where he engages himself to one Smuggins as his clerk. Now Smug gins has a daughter who indulges in a tender corre spondence with the aforesaid Johnson. The latter, to get access to the house, represents himself as Bonny castle ; and the agony of the real husband when he hears his double talk of his "little Clotilda" whom he has left in Hatton-garden can easily be imagined. A second equivoque is originated by the arrival of the wife in search of her runaway husband, when sbe, to punish the impudence of the impostor, whom she recog nises as an old admirer, claims him as her own. The mystification of the parties is finally put an end to by the usual process, and the difficulties of Bonnycastle are removed by the discovery that Johnson is no longer a member of the detective police, and that he is disposed to listen coolly to his "short but moving tale" touch ing his accidental possession of the watch. It is seldom that we have met with a farce so profusely studded with comic situations. The plot is full of ingenious surprises, and the house was in a perfect roar from the moment the curtain rose until it fell. But there was Buckstone to personate the unhappy hus band, and popular actor never fitted himself with more genial materials (for he is the author of the Taco Bonnycastles) for the display of his peculiar humour. His frantic jealousy when he fancies his wife has re tired to bed with the pseudo-Bonnycastle'jwas consum mately droll; and his device of tying the leg of his rival with a cord while he remains below the balcony with a revolver, leads to a practical catastrophe as original as it is amusing. Buckstone, in short, was in the fullest force, and the audience absolutely screamed with laughter at the comic results of his indignation. The farce, which was smartly and ra pidly played by the whole of the dramatis ppersona►— sustained by Mr. Lambert, Mr. Howe, Mrs. Buck ingham, and Miss Vining—was announced for repe tition amid a round of the merriest and most enthu siastic plaudits. PRIN CESS'S THEATRE. The comedy of Town and Country was performed here last evening, for the purpose of introducing a ew candidate for metropolitan dramatic honours, in the person of Miss Frankland, from the Edinburgh Theatre, who sustained the character of Rosalie Summers. Miss Frankland has evidently studied her profession diligently, and having wisely determined to make herself an accomplished artiste before ven turing to appear before a metropolitan audience, there can be no doubt but that she will continue to maintain the position which she attained last evening by her admirable personation of Rosalie Summers. Miss Frankland possesses a good figure, expressive fea tures, and a sweet voice—" an excellent thing i❑ women"—her acting is graceful, ladylike, and full of intelligence. She is a decided acquisition to the metropolitan boards. The house was very well attended. SADLER'S WELLS THEATRE. - BENEFIT 0! MR. GILIENWOOD.—The benefit of Mr- Greenwood, the acting manager of the Theatre Royal Sadler' Wells, takes place to morrow evening, on which occasion Mr. Phelps will sustain, for the first time the character of Sir Pertinax Macsycophant in Macklin's comedy of the Man of the World. The revival of this admirable old comedy will of itself draw a large audience, and when we consider that it is mainly owing to the spirit, enterprise, and taste of Mr. Greenwood that Sadler's Wells has been devoted to the representation of the masterpieces of the English drama, and has been rescued from the desecration of the Newgate school of melodrama— w h en we compare Sadler's Wells as it is with Sadler's Wells as it was, we can not but be certain that the friends of the English drama will to-morrow night rally round Mr. Greenwood and give him a bumper. TESTIMONIAL TO Ma. C. P. RONEY.—The senior officers of the Eastern Counties Railway yesterday presented Mr. Roney, for so many years the efficient a n d energetic se cretary of this line, with his portrait, painted by Mr. Frede rick Gush, as a testimonial of their warm regard. The junior officers of the line have already presented Mr. Roney with a valuable piece of plate, upon his resigning the duties of an office which he has discharged with so much courtesy, affability, and gentlemanly feeling. The letters from Liverpool yesterday state the suspension of two firms, both connected with the American trade—namely, Messrs. Pryde and Jones, and Messrs. Harn den and Co. The liabilities of the former are not mentioned, but they are supposed to be rather large. Those of Messrs. Hamden and Co. are understood to amount to about 60,0001. or 80,000/., of which about 12,0001. consists of small bills drawn at Boston and New York (where also they have houses) for Irish and other immigrants desirous of remitting small sums to their relatives at home. The engagements of the firm in America, wh-re their means are said to be locked up in securities not readily convertible, are probably larger than in England ; but it is not positively known whether they will suspend on that side, or if there is a possibility of their making arrangements to meet the claims which will now be returned from Liverpool. In the uncertainty attend ing this point it has been notified that the forwarding and passenger business of the concern, which was very large, will be carried on at Liverpool by their late agent, Mr. Baines. Neither of the failures caused much surprise, and in Messrs. Hamden's case the existing difficulties had been known for several weeks.— Times. SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY.— TONI:MIDGE WELLS AND HASTINGS LINE.—The remaining portion of this com pany's line, from Robertabridge to Battle and St. Leonard's, is just completed, and is expected to be opened in the course of next month. The line completes the coast communica tion, and terms have been made with the London and Brigh ton Company to prevent competition for the London, Has tings, and St. Leonard's traffic. _ THE WINDBOUND COLLIERS.—The fleet of light colliers which have been so long windbound in Burlington Bay got into Hartlepool, the Tees, Wear, and Tyne on Mon day morning. The coal-pits and staithe are very busy, and they will be loaded and ready for sea by the middle of the week. DISMISSAL or MR. RAMSHAII.—We are enabled to state authoritatively that the Earl of Carlisle has adjudicated upon the case of Mr. Ramshay, and that his Lordship's judg ment is, that the allegations against Mr. Ramshay are sub stantially proved, and that it is his duty to supersede that gentleman as Judge of the Liverpool County Court. WEYMOUTH.—Open to railway accommodation and foremost among the requirements, is a line to cross the Isthmus from Weymouth to the Bristol Channel, thereby avoiding the circuitous route by sea by the Lands- end, which it.is understood will save a month's voyage in most instances, a subject as important as necessary in the present state of the railway questions now so vigorously entertained. I need not observe to you the great connexion there is between this subject and the Portland Harbour of Refuge. " Free from the assaults of the tempestuous tide, That safely here may anchor'd navies ride ; The merchant's wealth, the sailor's barque to save, No more ingulph'd beneath the briny wave." Western Flying Post. - - MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.—On Wednesday, the 7th instant the wife of a newsman named William Han cock , residing in Maiden-lane, Covent-garden, was tak e n witYa the pains off labour, and a premature birth ensued. She bein g in imminent danger, her husband was sent out to ob tain some ice for the purpose of bathing her temples, bet from that time he has not been seen or heard of. The wife still lies i n the greatest possible danger, aggravated by the gays terim is disappearance of her husband. Os INIBUS ACCOMMODATION. — Within the last few days t he conductors of the Islington omnibuses, travelling to and fr om the Kennington-gate have introduced the agreeable use of the morning papers, a practice and improvement which will doubtless be speedily followed by the conductors of all such i vehicles, as it is one which must prove of great utility to t he public, particularly that portion of it whose time for rea , ling newspapers is limited. A good-sized bracket is placed against the top or end of the vehicle in which these mo ruing papers are placed, and a request is printed under ne,i th that all passengers using the journals will, when done with i them, replace them in the bracket, and also deposit a pen oy for the reading in a small box affixed above. 1 'or some time past gold bad ceased to be brought to • the Paris Mint for coinage, but it appears that importa tion! ; have recommenced, and the parties are now again re quiz: ed to wait two days for its re-delivery.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 7,000 bales, of which 500 American were taken for export and 1,000 on speculation; there was more Cotton offering but the market closed firmly, American nearly id. above Friday's rates, Surat was also rather dearer. Other kinds without alteration. The sales consist of about 5,500 American, 800 Per nam and Marauham, chiefly at Sid., 200 Bahia at sd. to 5d., 300 Egyptian at sd. to 7d, and 60 Sea Islands at la. Oid. to Is. sd. per lU.—The Share Market was not quite so good. At Liverpool Messrs. Pryde and Jones and Messrs. Hamden and Co. have suspended. The liabilities are considerable. The first monthly meeting, or stair*, of the members of the Bankers' Institute took place last evening, and knowing that two hundred persons had already paid their subscriptions, we were not surprised at the very numerous and highly respectable attend ance. Mr. Gilbert occupied the chair, ever ready to give a helping hand to undertakings calculated to improve the moral and intellectual posi tion of young men engaged in mercantile pursuits. It be especially gratifying, however, to find the chief men in our metropolitan banking establishments aiding the movement; for among the honorary officers we find the names of Sir Moses Montefiore, James Wilson, Esq., M.P., Arthur H. Heywood, Esq., and others. The paper read at the meeting last evening was upon a subject of special and practical interest to bankers and merchants—via , how far the security of bankers' locks is affected by the picking operations of Mr. Hobbs, and certainly it elicited on the part of Messrs. Chubb, Bra mah, and Hobbs, the most interesting demonstration of the improvements made in locks that has been afforded for a long time. Without entering into details, we may state the impression that seemed to prevail among the auditors, viz., that the English locks are perfectly secure against the most accomplished burglars; but that Mr. Hobbs can pick them, unless the new improvements should foil him. On the other hand, no proof is given that Mr. Hobbs's lock is capable of being opened, and carefully attending to his explana tions last evening, we should say it cannot even by him self, if he allows a stranger to lock it. Certainly this constitutes a great claim to the favour of the banking interest, as if the cashier of an establishment is to be made liable, he alone should possess the key, and with it the power of altering the lock every night, which by a simple adjustment of the key he could do. In fact, as Mr. Hobbs explained the matter, it is the " key makes the lock," for the latter adjusts itself to all the combinations—and they amount to some millions —of which the former is susceptible. Even the accidental leaving out of the keys, a serious oversight, no doubt, but probably too common, would not endanger a strong room secured with Day and Newell's lock, for easy as it is to take an impression, this would be useless when there was no certainty that the key would not be adjusted daily to a new combination. Mr. Chubb has incorporated a new patent, viz., a moveable plate upon his present locks, and this effectually shuts up the key-hole and prevents examination. Mr. Bramah employs steel for the internal finishing of his locks, and other safeguards such as he has used for years, but which were not in the lock made nearly half a century since, and opened by Mr. Hobbs. We feel that great advan tage will result to all parties from this trial of skill. Improvements will be made on the one hand, perfection may not even yet have been obtained on the other, and public attention will be espe cially awakQncd to the fact that three-fourths of the locks sold as those of our best makers are not theirs. Tho patent of Messrs. Brunel having expired, the worth of their locks rests upon later improvements and excellence of workmanship, not upon excessive cheap ness. At the monthly meeting in January there will be a paper read on the law and practice of crossed cheques. The Medway steamer is announced as having arrived with the West India mail and 2,000,000 dollars. The letters from the Continent are not of interest this morning. _ _ The following is sent to us from the Committee of Spanish Bondholders:— " Madrid, Nov. 20, 1851. "My dear Sir,—l have to thank you for the commu nications contained in Mr. Collett's letter of the 13th, and hope that you will have come to a reciprocal satts factory agreement with Senor Borrajo respecting the conversion, and that the issuing of the committee's coupon certificates will, at a more or less distant period, facilitate the definitive settlement of these sacred claims. " I remain, my dear Sir, your most obedient Servant, " DANIEL WLISWEILLER. " James Capel, Esq., Chairman of the Committee of Spanish Bondholders, London." Bills of Exchange on the principal continental cities were taken yesterday afternoon at full prices for the pound sterling, 90 days, viz., Paris 25 30 to 32k, a shade dearer, Amsterdam 11 184 to i; Ilamburgh 13 10 to and Trieste 12 50 to 54. Stocks have gone lower, and business is conducted on a more limited scale both for Transfer and Account. The state of affairs at Paris is a drawback, and although our money market should not be directly affected by it, the political embarrassment of a neighbouring country cannot be a matter of indifference to us.

The weekly reviews of ;the Amsterdam and Rot terdam produce markets state that the demand for coffee was limited to the wants of local consumption, and that in the meantime prices had experienced no essential change. Very little had been done in sugar, spices, rice, or indigo, business generally remaining inactive. From Hamburgh the advices speak of the complete absence of speculation, and the mani fest indisposition to increase operations before the close of the year.
