Latterly the ardour of the sympathetic emotions on the part of England have been responded to by the kindred enthusiasm of the population of Wales. It is well that the direct descendants of the ancient Britons should have some share in the articulation of such sentiments. It is well that the inhabitants of the land of the Cymri should echo such syllables— syllables vibrating with the tones of magnanimity. The circumstance of opinions thus being expressed by our fellow-countrymen of Walea could not fail to arrest in a very particular manner our attention, at any period of national excitement, or on any sub ject of national importance; but especially at a time when men might naturally be expected to become apathetic, especially on a theme to us fraught with such enthralling interest, it appears to us a matter worthy of particular interest—this expression of sym pathy;by Welshmen in the cause of the defeated Hungarians. From the extreme gratification ex perienced at this occurrence by ourselves, we are induced thus directly to submit it to the pecu liar consideration of the multitude of the United Kingdom. Elsewhere in this evening's impression will be found a scanty, yet sufficient report of the proceedings which took place on Friday evening in a demonstration of this character at the Town-hall of Aberystwith. It must not be imagined, however, by any means, that the meeting in question is a merely local and isolated token of the feelings entertained upon this subject by the more ardent spirits among the band of Welshmen. On the contrary, it is but a single undulation in a political movement now sweeping over the principal provinces of Wales. As such we conceive the meeting at Aberyawith to be an occurrence eminently entitled to attract public consideration. It is one of the preliminary cries of a voice as yet almost dumb—the overt signs of a profound emotion hitherto cherished under an appearance of apathy. England has already, from the Tweed to the Severn, pronounced her sentiments upon the cause, some time jeopardized between the belligerent armies of DEMBINSKI and of PASKEWITCH. Wales has now echoed her words of deep and heartfelt indignation. Altering but one word in the immortal Ode of GRAY, the malediction pronounced by modern Wales upon the head of FRANCIS JOSEPH in his usurped character as sovereign of the Magyars , is wonderfully well expressed in that articulated by the "Bard," as the embodiment of ancient Wales, upon the head of the warlike EDWARD " Ruin seize thee, ruthless king, Confusion on thy banners wait, Though finned by Conquest's crimson wing They mock the air with idle state; Helm nor hauberk's twisted mail, Nor e'en thy virtues, tyran►, shall prevail To save thy secret soul from nightly fears, From Hungary's curse, from Hungary's tears." The abhorrence of Austrian despotism expressed at Aberystwith and elsewhere throughout the Welch provinces, such as at Swansea and at Bangor, cannot but be a circumstance of the utmost signifi cance—indicating as it does the diffusion and the earnestness of that sympathy which we have long de clared to be in existence in all parts of the United Kingdom. Hence it is, that the well-wishers of Hungary are indebted to such men as Mr. JOH/QES, the Judge of Aberystwith, who, by uttering a few energetic words of eloquence, has sounded the key note of the popular sympathies, and awakened a cor— responding vibration of sentiment throughout a country whose real feelings might otherwise have remained altogether unarticulated. After the record of the numerous and enthusiastic meetings which have taken place in all quarters of our island, who shall dare to say that England has no sympathy with the Hungarians ? T.

If ,this be true, what must be the sensations of the unfortunate and deeply-injured WILLIAM HENRY BARBER at the further delay and procrasti nation which has taken place with respect to his humble application to be re-admitted to the active duties of his profession ? Fifteen weary months have elapsed since his return to his native land, and more than twelve since the Court of Queen's Bench was called upon to authorise the issue of his certificate, all the requisite notices having previously been de livered, but nothing has as yet been decided on the point. The Incorporated Law Society have „suc ceeded in interposing obstacles and impediments to the realisation of his reasonable expectations, which, although they cannot possibly prevent, have yet ma terially procrastinated and retarded, the accomplish ment of his wishes. It is, indeed, difficult to coneeive a struggle more arduous than that imposed upon Mr. BARBER within the last year, since the intimation was first given of the intention of the Law Society, not of opposing a demand which should have been conceded ex debit° justitia, but of instituting pre liminary inquiries before an adjudication should take place on the prayer of his petition. He has during that entire time not only been deprived of the opportunity of earning a single shilling by his pro fessional exertions, but he has been subjected to an enormous outlay. He has been called upoa to - answer interrogatories on a variety of different sub jects, de omnibus rebus, et guibusdam aliis, some of them going back to a time so remote that any question would have been more than twice barred by the statute of limitations. His difficulties, in these repects, have been greatly aggravated by the fact that the books and documents to which the several queries referred, and which, if forthcoming, would have furnished full and satisfactory answers to the vague insinua tions put forward, had, during his in voluntary and unavoidable absence, been scattered and dispersed, and some of the most important irre ' trievably lost, notwithstanding every exertion and ex penditure on his part to procure their restoration. On the other hand, the Incorporated Law Society have unlimited resources of every kind at their dis posal ; and it is to them a matter of the most per fect indifference whether the case be summarily dis posed of, or whether it be postponed and procras tinated during successive years, until the unfortunate applicant be driven to despair, and borne to his mother eark in the unequal contest. The funds freely obtained from attorneys and so licitors are lavishly and recklessly squandered, n o t in sustaining and assisting, but in persecuting, and, if possible, crushing a brother of their profession. Mr. BARBER must, indeed, have long since succumbed, and fallen a victim to the powerful influences brought into operation against him, had he not been aided and supported by many faithful and true hearted friends, by an indomitable determination and perseverance, and, above all, by a mind at peace within itself, a heart conscious of its own rectitude, and of its perfect innocence from any offence. We cannot find language adequate to express our admiration of the manner in which the application was brought forward by the eminent lawyer —the brilliant, impassioned, and accomplished orator, whose services Mr. BARBER was so fortunate as to obtain.

Profoundly, indeed, must the heart of England have been touched by the misfortunes which have befallen the heroic Hungarians, when the evidences of sym pathy in the cause of the conquered Magyars are still apparent throughout the country, even now when BATTHTANT has mouldered into dust,'when G110144111T has dwindled into the insignificance of a treasonous renegade, when KOSSUTH has tasted the bitter bread of charity from the hand of the Moslem, and in the land of his expatriation. Never, perhaps, before have the people of these islands been so moved to enthusiasm by events transpiring in the centre of the European continent. Never before most c er t a i n l y, have journalißts been more fully justified than ourselves in the early advocacy of a cause which, while contem porary organs were reprobating it as detestable, we proclaimed to be one worthy of arousing the most ardent sentiments of admiration among the sons of England. That cause, alas! has failed for a period. The hopes of a great nation have been suddenly but, we thank GOD, only temporarily darkened. The victories of the Hungarian soldiers, the strategic LONDON, *" Of course, when I was in prison my credit was stopped, and those indebted to me, not knowing what course affairs would take, demurred t..) paying me. I was unwilling to sacrifice my books and furniture by a sale, believing that as the facts became better known to the prosecutors, I should be released; they thus fell a prey to my panic-stricken landlord and other creditors— r not a single article was saved to me —my books, scien• tific instruments, and articles upon which I set an espe cial value, were all swept away; in a short time the small sum at my command was exhausted. I became literally penniless, and, but for the generosity of a few steadfast friends, I should have been driven upon the gaol allowance long before my trial. I lost my counsel, Mr. Chambers, because I could no longer pay him his fire guineas per day for attending the almost endless hearings. My solicitor next declared, that in justice to his family, be could no longer devote his time to my ser vice without suitable advances. In this deplorable con dition, another gentleman (with a generosity, for which I shall ever be gratt ful) came forward and offered to de vote his personal labour, but naturally observing that be could not undertake to provide the outlay. He men tioned my condition to Mr. Parry, a talented gentleman just called to the bar, and who, recollecting me as the secretary :of The Legal Discussion Society, and more recently as an active member of the committee of the Southwark Literary Institution, at once offered to attend for me before the Lord Mayor. I was then re duced to the most humiliating appeals for the means of existence, and to provide for the indispensable current outlay; but such was the prejudice which false, dis torted, and ex park representations created in the public mind, that even my friends became lukewarm, and the subscription was less than I had many a time procured for a distressed family in a few days, and from entire strangers; the consequence was, that much important evidence from Bath, Bristol, and other places, was not obtained— the procuring of singe as was delayed so late that some witnesses were not secured, and even the copies of the depositions were not had in sufficient time to obtain full and proper advice upon the evidence. " I had retained Mr. Thesiger, but the payment of his fee was impossible. Mr. Wilkins was made acquainted with my forlorn situation, and most magnanimously consented to receive my papers, with such a fee as I might be able to command. Most unfortunately too, my solicitor was prevented by illness from attending the trial, and thus I lost the great value of his superin tendence, as well as his very important evidence."— Case of W. IL Barber, pp. 58.9. We would fain call the attention of every reformer to the notice which was given on Friday in the House of Commons by the Hon. F. HENRY F. BERKELEY, M.P. for Bristol,'of his intention to bring forward, on an early day, the question of the Ballot We understand the motion of the Honour able Member for Bristol will be seconded by Lord DUDLEY STUART. In the meantime we call upon all those who are electors, or who expect or de sire to be , such, to lose no time in pe titioning in favour of Mr. BERKELEY'S mo tion. The cause of the Ballot has been triumphant on one occasion in the course of the present Parli. ment ; and if its supporters bestir themselves there is no reason why it should not again triumph, but to ensure this no time must be lost. Petition, therefore, for the BaIIot—PETITION ! PETITION ! PETITION ! THE QUEEN'S SPEECH.—(From a Correspondent.) —The proprietor of the City Reading Rooms at Ox ford was supplied by the enterprising news -agents, Messrs. Clayton and Son, of 265, Strand, with twenty. five copies of The Sun newspaper, containing the Queen's Speech, by a quarter-past five the same afternoon, which was a great boon to the subscribers, who flocked to the rooms in numbers to peruse a document fraught with so much interest. The energy and spirit of the Messrs. Johnston, of Dublin, has p u t us i n possession of The Sun newsp a p er , containing the Queen's Speech, eleven hours sooner than it could arrive by the ordinary mail. Upon many for mer occasions we have borne testimony to the enterprise of this eminent firms, who have founded in Ireland an entirely new business, and prosecuted it with extraordi nary success; and the present is not the least remarkable of their achievements in furnishing rapid intelligence.-- Cork Examiner of Friday. GIITTA PERCHA.—The importations of this now exceedingly useful and important article of merchandise, continue to take place in very considerable quantities. The vessel Justira, from the Cape of Good Hope and Singapore, has brought 11,593 blocks, besides a quan tity in bags, of the article; and the vessel Enterprise has also brought 9,458 blocks of the article, consigned to order. character which he has acquired during a professional career in which be has attained the very highest rank in his dignified profession—but he did more. He even surpassed himself. He was more than equal to the occasion, and whether we consider the professional learning and legal research exhibited, the fervid and glowing eloquence, the depth and intensity of warm. hearted and generous feeling, or the close and logical reasoning on the multifarious topics introduced— on every portion, however minute, of the studiously entangled and elaborately complicated case, we must regard with equal surprise and admiration the tri • umph achieved by that accomplished lawyer. In one portion of his effective speech the Learned Sergeant felt called upon to repel the vile and un warranted aspersions that bad been untruly cast upon his own conduct in reference to this transaction. It was secretly insinuated—the malignant calumnia tors dared not to assert openly—that he bad violated the etiquette cf the profession of which he is one of the brightest ornaments, by accepting a brief on the chances of success and of his fee being subsequently raised. The Learned Sergeant rebutted this infamous and mendacious hint (we cannot call " assertion") in the becoming language of honest indignation. He em phatically declared "that he never did and never would hold a brief on the terms of 'no cure no pay,' and that although there were cases which might some times induce him to remit the fee, he felt it would be disgraceful to him if be consented to bold a brief on the terms upon which it had been erroneously stated he had done." The real circumstance of the cue to which it has thus been attempted to give a malignant and slande rous interpretation, are so honourable to the Learned Sergeant, that we cannot refrain from giving the ac count of the transaction contained in Mr. BARBER'S highly interesting pamphlet.* We have_reason to know that the above is not a solitary instance of the unbounded liberality and dis interested generosity of the Learned Sergeant—not only his invaluable professional services, but even his private resources, have been freely placed at the dis posal of those whom he knew to be the victims of untoward circumstances, and objects deserving of smypathy and compassion rather than oppression and persecution. His purse has ever been open to those afflicted in mind, body, or estate, who required and merited pecuniary aid. There are many mem bers of his high profession who exhibit a laudable anxiety to relieve the distressed in any and every form, but never have we hitherto heard of reproach and censure being recklessly dealt out for that which constituted the highest and most enduring com mendation. His Learned opponent, Sir FREDERICK THESIGER, also thought fit to reprove the noble warmth exhi bited by Sergeant WILKINs. He said, " the mode in ' which his Learned Friend had identified himself with his client might be very generous, but it cer tainly was irregular, and somewhat embarrassing to the advocate opposed to him." We would venture to inquire, where was the identification, where the irre gularity ? He declared that "he had spoken with more warmth and feeling than war, perhaps, proper in addressing a higher order of intellects, but he con - fessed that he felt so deeply in the case that he could sacrifice any prospects of success in his profession, could he but live to see the day when WILLIAM HENRY B♦RBER, his friend—for such he called him —should regain his position in society. He should consider, if that end were attained, that he had not lived in vain." The feelings of the Learned Gentle man overpowered him for some moments, and he was obliged to pause for a brief period in order to recover his self-possession. Such sympathy with an accused person, such ge nerous devotion, is unfortunately but rarely exhibited in courts of justice. Would to GOD it were oftener the case, that the advocate might never forget that he was also ♦ MAN, and that he should not unduly press upon a suffering fellow-creature for the mere sake of showing his own ability and sharpness. We have often heard that " Wretches bang that jurymen may dine;" we fear it may with equal truth be alleged that inno cent men have been convicted, and the entire prospects of their lives blighted, nay, their very lives forfeited upon the ignominious scaffold, because the counsel for the prosecution desired to obtain a triumph over his learned opponent. Such cases are not indeedof every-day occurrence. We rejoice to say that the great majority of barristers would be incapable of such conduct in criminal cases; but there are exceptions to the general rule, and we must confess that we should have been better pleased had Sir FREDERICK THESIGBR, under the peculiar circumstances of the present case, exhibited less of the zeal of the nisi prius advocate. MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and yesterday. On Saturday the Ministers suffered a serious de feat in the Assembly. They proposed to make St. Etienne the residence of the Prefect of the Loiret instead of Montbrison on the ground that as Mont brison was a mere village and St. Etienne a large manufacturing town, and the head quarters of Social ism, it was for the public good that the Prefect, the official preserver of order, should reside at the latter place. The Reds were, of course, opposed to the measure, and on this occasion they were joined by the parti-pretre and Legitimatiste, so that on a division the Ministers were defeated by a majority of 75, the numbers being, for the proposition; 260, against it 335. A. second division took place on a proposition of M. DEVIOUS/MAU% Dr GIVRY, for reinstating the ma gistrates of the Court of Accountancy- General, dis missed by decree of the Provisional Government, April 8, 1848. The proposition was carried by a majority of 335 to 158, and the Chamber adjourned at a quarter past six o'clock. The Constitutionnel expresses an opinion that the dispute between England and Greece, notwithstand ing its present formidable appearance, will be settled ultimately without disturbing the peace of Europe. The same journal states that there will be no foreign intervention in the affairs of Switzerland, as the Federal Government has taken measures for the expulsion of the foreign refugees or for their con finement in the interior. General DUFOUR will be authorised to carry out the decree of the Federal Government in any of the refractory; cantons. The Grand Council, of the canton of Vaud lately approved by a majority of 140 the decision of the Federal Government for the expulsion or confine ment of those refugees who were conspiring. Count LADISLA.US Timm and M. PULSZKY have addressed letters to the Journal des Dibats, contra dicting a statement in the journal le Napoleon, to the effect that revolutionary committers had been estab lished in the principal cities of Europe, in corre spondence with a central committee in London directed by Mazzrzir, LICDRU ROLLIN, STRUVB, and PULFZILY. It is said in Paris that the cause of the sud den steps adopted by the British Ambassador at Athens, was the discovery of an intrigue to place on ;the throne of France the Prince DB LBUCHTENBERG, the cousin of the PRESI DENT, and the son-in-law of the CZAR. The Prince would reign under the protection of Russia, and the object of the mission of Count STROGONOw to Paris is to carry out this intrigue. Such is the ac count of the Presse, which has always been hitherto well informed on Russian affairs. The Presse also has the following : " Yesterday, at four o'clock in the morning, Paris was threatened with a little emeute. Some agents of the police wished to cut down the tree of liberty in the Parois de Notre Dame; but a crowd of workmen opposed it in such a way that the agents were for a moment com pelled to withdraw. The workmen took advantage of their absence to f as t e n to the tree a brass plate, w i th t hi s inscription:— " A Monseigneur Affre, Archeveque de P ar i s pour son devouement l'humanite, en Juin, 1848.' " They then retired, saying,. Now we do not fear, we have no dread of that tree being cut down, it is under the protection of the archbishop.' " The Committee of the Budget yesterday decided that, in the Bill presented by the Government rela tive to duties on legacies and dotations, the differences which have hitherto existed in the duties between real and personal property shall cease. The Govern. ment had proposed to raise the duties on personal property to two-thirds of those levied on real pro perty. The Committee has declared itself in favour of an equality between the two kinds of inheritance. The Opinion Publique has the following According to information which we have re • ceived, it is not a reunion, according to the meaning generally attributed to Parliamen tary meetings, which has just been formed by a portion of the majority of the National Assembly ; it is a oersle, for which the honourable members have hired the rooms formerly occupied at the Cafe de Paris by a rival to the Jockey Club. Representatives alone are admitted. There is no permanent presi dent or constituted bureau. The club will be open every day for reading the journals, conversation, card playing, &c. When it is wished to examine any question on the order of the day, a special convocation of all the members will take place, and one of them will be called to preside. About 150 representatives have already inscribed their names. It does not ap pear that the apartment which has been engaged, and which only consists of two rooms on the ground floor, can contain more than 200. The new club was opened on Thursday evening for the first time." The Constitutionnel gives an alarming account of the state of Lyons. The Credit, in allusion to the statement of the Constitutionnel, says—" We have no reason for attaching credit to the alarming ru mours spread by the Constitutionnel; all our letter:, on the contrary, concur in stating that labour has resumed its activity at Lyons, that the rate of wages has increased, and that the population is calm." M. PISCATORY, at the request of the Minister fur Foreign Affairs, postponed for a week the interpella tions of which he had given notice on the subject of the recent events in Greece. On Friday M. LAMARTINE took his seat in the Assembly for the first time since his election. He took his place near the Mountain. General CAYAIG• NAC was among the first to greet him. The fact of Generel CHAINGARNIER'S name appear ing in the list of those wbo voted against the Minis terial Bill for making St Etienne the chief town of the department of the Loire, in place of Montbieson, has excited some attention, and has given occasion for a thousand rumours. The Napoleon, speaking of the blockade of Athens by Sir W. PARKER, sap— " We are disposed to believe that the English Minis ter at Athens has exceeded his instructions, otherwise we can scarcely understand that the Government of Great Britain should not have informed the French Go vernment of such violent measures, particularly after the imposing unison exhibited by the simultaneous ap pearance in the East of the French and English fleets." The same journal has the following on the affairs of Switzerland : " A good deal has been said about a communication alleged to have been made by th e re p resentat i ves o f Austria and Prussia to the French Gogernment with the view of coming to an understanding on the right of asylum granted to the refugees in Switzerland. This communication has not, we have reason to believe, the importance attributed to it. The limitrophic powers of Switzerland are very naturally desiro us o f prevent i ng the refugees from availing themselves of their residence near those powers to rev olutionize their states, and they unquQstionahly are right to take the necessary steps to avoid the danger. But Fran ce i s not disposed to forget, in any case, the rights of her ancient ally and the friend ship which unites the two nations. Moreover, the Pre sident of tEe Republic cannot be expected to forget the hospitality he found in Swit zer l and during so many, years, and the protection he found tbere against the un just pretensions of the Government of Louis Phillippe." It appears that the new Orleanist club which holds its sittings in the Cafe de P ar i s h as not been so suc cessful in recruiting members as the founders ex- , P• ected At its first meetin g M . T HIBRS, who; was expected to take the chair, did not make his appear- ance. The absence of Count MoLE, M. DARU, the Duke DR MONTEBELLO, and the Count DE MoN TALEMBERT, was likewise noticed. The Duke DR BROGLIE, MM. LEON FAUCHER and PISCATORY, at tended, and were supported by fifty faithful ad herents. The Five per Cents. were done in the passage of he Opera at 94f. 40c.

Madrid journals of the 29th ult. have arrived. In the Chamber of Deputies on the 28th a proposi tion was presented, to the effect that on the vote on the Bill for levying the taxes the Deputies, who are public functionaries, should refrain from voting. This would, it was expected, give rise to stormy de bates. The Minister of the Interior, Count DB SAN Louis, had withdrawn a complaint he had laid against the /Vacion for libel, that journal having retracted its assertions, and made an ample apology.

The King of PRUSSIA °tithe Ist February ad dressed :a royal message to the two Chambers, notifying his satisfaction that they had adhered to the message of the 7th January. His MAJESTY, in this new message, announces his intention of taking the solemn oath to the Constitution on Wednesday, the 6th of February. The immediate consequence was a rise in all public securities. Baron BuLow ' Under-Secretary of State, and the Ministers C oun t BRANDIMBURG, VON MANTEUFFEE, and VON BODBLSCIIWING, have been elected mem bers of the House of Commons of the German Par liament :at Erfurt. At Cologne M. CAMPIIAUSEN has been elected. The Austrian Government bas directed its repre sentatives at Frankfort, and at the different German Courts, to adopt measures for the formation of a German Customs Union. The Austrian Bolds says—" The statement is con firmed, that the Government has givenits Ambassadors at foreign courts orders to refuse signing passports of all Americans from the United 'States for Austria. The famous KOLOSY has been condemned to death, as one of the perpetrators of the murder of Vunt LA.MBERG.

ITALY, The Bishops of Tuscany have assembled in Flo rence, under the Presidency of the Archbishop of SIENA, in order to discuss the expediency of con voking a general provincial synod. They held their first sitting on the 21st ult. The public trial of CERNUSCHI commenced at Rome on the 23d ult. The court was crowded to suffocation ; it is supposed that the trial will last several days. He is accused-Ist, of having pub lished proclamations against the French during the siege ; 2dly, cf having damaged the palace Far nese ; 3dly, of having squandered immense sums for the erection of barricades ; 4thly, of having been a party to the Roman revolution, and to the pro clamation of the Republic; ably, of having at tempted to excite the people against the French on the day of their entering Rome; 6thly, of having taken up a flag at the Caffe Nuovo, and placing him self at the head of the people, in order to insult the French, on the piazxx Colonna. It is generally be lieved, however, that whether condemned or acquitted, he will be sent to Paris. Several ex officers of the Roman troops have been arrested at Rome. A letter from that city of the 24th states, on the strength of a rumour that has gained general credit there, that in virtue of an agreement with the Spanish Government, the Island of Formentera (one of the Balearic group) is to be granted to the Order of Malta, to establish its Government there. Part of the members of the order are to inhabit Rome for the defence of the Sovereign; PONTIFF. AMERICAN NEWS (BY ELECTRIT) TELEGRAPH.) LIVERPOOL, MONDAY, 1 30 A.M.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were about 6,000 bales, of which 2,000 American were taken on specu lation. The market closed firmly.—Railway Shares were dull and generally at lower quotations. The grain trade in Mark-lane is excessively dull, and wheat is le. to 2s. per quarter lower. The steamer Canada has arrived from the United States with late advices, but the letters are not delivered at the time of our present writing. We learn that business was brisk, the money market steady and the Six per Cent. Stock at 113. Bread: tuff's were active and firm, and Cott( n was very brisk. Freights were rather lower. The rate of exchange was 108 to %. There are numerous arrivals from the colonies, but the dates have been generally anticipated by those received last week. The Overland letters have been delivered. A mail for the Cape of Good Hope is to be made up by the steamer Hermes. The advices received from the Continent notice generally rather quieter stock markets, but money seems everywhere to continue abundant. The Bank of France weekly return shows a further increase of seven millions of francs in the specie. At Amsterdam not much was doing in Dutch Stock, but the foreign investments were in demand. The Banker's Magazine, referring to the present situation of the Scotch Banks, and the recent change in the rate they allow upon deposits, adduces the Currency Act of 1844 as the cause, and states that—" Previous to this enactment, it was the interest of each bank to maintain the circulation of its notes at the highest attainable point which the action of the local exchanges would permit. Of the total circulation required for the monetary wants of Scotland, and of which these exchanges were the ceaseless and unerring corrective, I say it was the policy of each bank to procure as large a share as it could. Its customers, therefore, were encouraged to pay in to their credit the notes of other banks as they collected them, and to make their payments exclusively in the notes of the bank with which they dealt—a process which a charge for commission would obviously have tended very materially to obstruct, and in a great measure to neutralise. The Act in question, however, has changed all this. A Scottish bank now has no inducement to enlarge its issues a single pound beyond its fixed limits, however much the circulation gene rally may fall short of the actual monetary requirements of the country ; and hence, probably, the first step towards the English system of charge which I have noticed above." The aspect of the Greek question has exercised a more decided influence upon the Funds, and until the arrival of tfie French mail the Swiss imbroglio was acting adversely, but this has apparently been disposed of by the assurance that the Helvetian Governments will themselves get rid of the more turbulent refugees. Consols have realised 95% to 7i, for Transfer, and 95% to 96 for Time. The New Three and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been marked 98 to 983(, and the Three per Cents. 95% to 96. Bank Stock is at 205 1 4, and India Stock at 266 to 268. The premium on Exchequer -bills has been 575. to 605., being lower,' and indicative so far of a temporary demand for money. East India Bonds are 89s. to 925. premium. Some explana tion upon the Greek difficulty is looked for this evening in Parliament, and in unbiased quarters no apprehension is felt as to the issue. Consols at this moment look heavy, being 95% 3 / 4 for Transfer, and 95 3 / 4 'X for Account. The Foreign Funds are engrossing still a fair share of at tention.
