The maintenance and the improvement of the overland route to India is a matter in which almost every in dividual in the United Kingdom must feel a personal interest, for there is scarcely to be found a family i n any class of society, the members of which have not *her relations or friends or correspondents in some portion ofcur Oriental dominions. As was well ob -I,evi,,i-,ue,'' 14 Y the c h a i rman o f the meeting of merchants, consider Was Yesterday held at the London Tavern to (13,,enceer. the means to be adopted to avert the conse - con struction of likely to ensue from the stoppage of the the • ing the safety railway, and from the endanger existing facilities and the continuance of the sengera and parcels across the transit of pas " the interruptien of rortthe Isthmus of Suez — way would be calamitous to th e co mmunication in any igreat interests of the commerce of this country anEa prejudicial to the 8 ministtern Empire,i government of our immense tr em ss . - barrassing to her MAJESTY' io.ag to thousands of families, who haves'thand and friends so far from them ;" and there ir s that this most necessary communication by dang erh terrupted, and that we may be startled b y y th e e an nouncement of the stoppage of the overland coalman-- -nication to India. The following extract from the speech of Mr. BARTON, the chairman of the meeting held yesterday, gives a summary view of the present state of the question. lie says—" This line of com munication has been carried on most satisfactorily for more than ten years. It was established by the great ruler of Egypt, that wonderful man, MEHEMET Azy, whose penetrating mind foresaw that great THE SUN, prosperity was sure to accrue to his country by making it the highway for all the world. Under his successor, Ina Alum PAcHA, this state of things continued, and our relations with his Government were satisfactory. Up to the present moment, also, under his Highness ABBAS PAULA, not only have those relations been in a satis factory state, but the PACHA, emulating the energy of his grandsire, now proposes to improve that com munication by introducing into his country the greatest of modern improvements--a railway across the desert. The SULTAN, to the consternation of all parties in this country, has interfered and has prohibited the construction of that railway." We do not believe that this prohibition is the act of the SULTAN. ABDUL-M!SCRID has always shown him self liberal-minded, honourable, honest, and chival rous; he is no obscurantist, no bigotted opponent of civilization and progress. The protector of KOSSUTH is not of his ewn free will the opposer of the railway across the isthmus; he is the victim of the false and fraudulent misrepresentations and intrigues of the Austrian and Russian representatives, who desire nothing so much as the dismemberment of the Turkish empire, and who having succeeded as they hope in having raised the wrath of the SULTAN against his vassal, have dispatched an Austrian agent to Egypt for the purpose of endeavouring to inflame the anger of ABBAS PACHA against the Porte. As regards the abstract right of the Porte to inter fere for the purpose of prohibiting the construction of this railway across the isthmus, it is clear that by the treaty of 1841 the Porte has no such right. The opinion of Mr. MACGREGOR, who, as a member of the Board of Trade in 1841, assisted in negotiating this very treaty, is decisive on this point. The Hon. Member for Glasgow, in addressing the meet ing at the London Tavern yesterday, said, that with respect to the interference of the Porte for the purpose of preventing the con struction of the railway, "he was decidedly of opinion, having been for several years one of the Board of Trade, and a member of it when the treaty of 1841 was negotiated, and having had the whole commercial interests of the British empire and of the world perpetually under his view, and especially all treaties which might in any way interfere with the usual channels of British trade and navigation—it was, he repeated, his decided opinion, and he could also say it was the opinion of the Government that succeeded that which ratified the treaty of 1841, that the Porte had no right whatever to interfere in the internal affairs of Egypt. The Government then thought that the treaty of 1841 merely demanded, as a quid pro quo, that the hereditary rulers of Egypt should pay out of their revenues a certain sum to the Porte, thereby acknowledging that the Porte had no right to interfere with the internal affairs of the Viceroy of EGYPT. That was his (Mr. MA coaEcoa's) decided opinion, and be was very much mistaken if that was not the opinion of Lord PAL MERSTON, not only at the present time, but at the time he ratified the treaty of 1841. Ten years had now elapsed, and, as his Hon. Friend the Member for Orkney had stated, that which had been done in practice had become binding by usage, and showed what the effect of that treaty was. He believed that this movement did not emanate from the Porte, but from sources not friendly to British commerce and navigation." There cannot be a doubt as to the cor rectness of this last assertion of Mr. MAC GREGOR, the movement does not emanate from the Porte, and when the matter shall have been properly explained to the SULTAN and his Ministers, they will at once perceive that, to use the words uttered by Lord PALMERSTON in the House of Commons on the sth of August last—" The Pacha of EGYPT was entitled to make the railroad out of his own funds according to the firman which was granted to him in 1841." That Lord PALMERSTON has already taken up this question we cannot for a mo ment doubt ; neither can we doubt but that he will bring it to a satisfactory and honourable conclusion ; in the meanwhile, however, it would be desirable, in order to strengthen his position, that the demonstra tion made yesterday by the merchants of London should be followed up by similar demonstrations in every town of the United Kingdom. The views of the veteran Reformer, JOSEPH Hume, on any contemplated or suggested amelioration, must at all times be received with respect and attention. Time has been, before it was fashionable to be a Re former, when he stood, if not alone, at least with but few coadjutors, to insist upon the constitutional rights of the people, and the removal of the glaring abuses that had sprung up during successive ages. The most bitter attacks were made on him. Assailants sprung up on every side, " Thick as leaves on Vallombrosa." And why ? It was believed that the most acceptable service that could be rendered to the Ministry for the time being, was a for midable onslaught on " the Radical," par excellence, of the House of Commons. Ridicule was freely resorted to, but the barbed arrows fell harmless on the sevenfold shield with which the intended victim was protected, or recoiled on those by whom they had been transmitted. Honour and honesty, sound common sense, great practical experience, a thorough appreciation of the wrongs of those of whom he was the champion, a clear knowledge of the causes to which those grievances might fairly be ascribed, and, above all, a zealous and unflinching determination to devote all his energies to the removal of these causes, were the materials of which his buckler—more impenetrable than that pos sessed by the son of TELAMON—consisted. He was equally impregnable to the other methods of taming refractory Members. All the persuasions of the whipper-in of the day were as useless as the per sonal attacks. He could not be silenced either by bullying or cajolery, or by the more substantial re wards at the disposal of the " patronage secretary," Under every circumstance, and at each stage of his useful and varied career, he maintained his position as the steady, consistent, judicious, incorruptible, and efficient advocate of the popular cause. His fair fame has never for a moment been tarnished, and the sagacity of his views have generally been established, even when opposed for a time by some of his coadju tors and disciples. Recognising fully the importance of popular sup port, it is by no means surprising that the Hon. Gen tleman should have been desirous of ascertaining the opinions of so important a body as the citizens of Edinburgh on the two great questions of Fiscal and Parliamentary Reform. He was also anxious to vindicate his own consistency in the course which he had adopted in reference to the Income-Tax Bill, which led to the Ministerial de feat of last session, and the appointment of a special Committee, notwithstanding the defection of some, who should have been ashamed to desert the banner under which they had previously arrayed themselves. A. meeting was accordingly held on Monday, at the Merchants' Hall, Edinburgh, when that spacious apartment was crowded to the utmost degree to hear the address of the The first point alluded to. .by lion.

He strenuously successful motion of last year, that had ogated to by the names of "Reformers ctoontmued for t o h p e p ra os s e e d lves some persons the income and property-tax shouldtibmee was,. that one year, " with a view of giving whole system of taxation." Th a t was the object the to which every man who divided with the Honourable Gentleman deliberately pledged himself. Had he proposed the total rejection of the impost, in consequence of the stupid and unmeaning opposition of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER and his colleagues to any alteration that could ren der it more equitable, he could have commanded an equal majority. But it was not his purpose to damage the public credit by converting the expected surplus into a deficiency, nor did he think that a mere alteration in the rates charged under the different could d at h b a e d schedulesu would be sufficient. It was not by taking system __ 13 _.: 12( 7 c tax separately that a just and politic introduced,bee deliberately recognised sanctioned by the L practical operation, NO could be carried into far to permit any but 0 ; the disease had gone too effective.

That might be re garded as the great experiment in direct taxa tion, which would have proved eminently successful if the spirit of the law had not been perverted from its true intent and meaning, under the blighting in fluence of indirect imposts, which were favoured by the tax collectors, because the people, less observant and less intelligent than at present, were ignorant of the enormous sums extracted from their pockets by such agencies. His opposition was repeated in 1845 and 1848, but it was only in 1851 that he succeeded in obtaining a majority. He was not bound to inquire into the motives by which some of his supporters were actuated, and it would be strange, indeed, if he withdrew a proposition,just and reasonable, because it was advocated on unstates manlike or untenable grounds. He triumphed—we rejoice to say—and it is for the people of England to turn that victory of their faithful and efficient friend and advocate to the best purposes. They must not remain sluggish or apathetic. They must exert themselves vigorously and energetically, if they desire that the first success should lead to propitious results. This is the time for activity, and any professing Reformer who now remains indifferent will have, himself to thank for any grievances to which he may be subject in the interval between 1852 and 1855.

RESIGNATION OF THE FRENCH MINISTRY. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. All the Ministers have tendered their resignations, and those resignations have been accepted by the PRESIDENT. The new Ministers have not yet been ap pointed. The cause of disagreement was the deter mination of the PRESIDENT to propose the repeal of the law of the 31st May, and to restore universal suffrage. This is evidently a bid on the part of the PRESIDENT for republican support, but, like all such concessions, it comes too late. The Aasemblie Na tionale has the following on the Ministerial crisis : " We have been informed in the most positive manner that the resignations of the Ministers and of the Prefect of Police have been accepted, and that the President will make known tomorrow (this day), at the Council, that he shall form a new Ministry, charged to present to the Assembly the repeal of the law of May 31. It is thought that Messrs. Fould and Rouher will enter into the new combination. If principles are to change, it will be still a patching up as to persons. The new Cabinet will have no other mandate than to demand the abrogation of the law of May 31. We hare had a Ministry of transition; we were threatened with a Ministry of solu tion; and we shall have one of abrogation. It is not yet known what will be the composition of this Cabinet, but it is positively stated that M. Billault, who supported the Right of Labour, has been charged to propose a Ministerial Combination." _ The only remark made by the Constitutionnel on subject of the Ministerial crisis is contained in the following short paragraph :—" Reports of different kinds as to the present state of affairs are circulated among the public, and repeated by several journals. We abstain from publishing these rumours, some of which are very vague, and others not even probable." Political rumours of various kinds were in circula lation at the Bourse and in the Salle des Conferences of the Legislative Assembly. It was said that the General BEDEAU, whose turn it is at present to pre side over the Permanent Committee, was to convoke it extraordinarily, should the present situation become more grave ; that the Ministers were to be called be fore it, and that according to what they might state, the Assembly should or should not be called on to meet forthwith. It was said also that a coup d' itat was certainly to be effected; that General MAGNAN, the head of the army of Paris, and Generals CAR RELET and LEVASSEUR, in command of two divisions of that body of troops, were to be replaced, and that their successors, as well as that of M. CARLIER, were all decided on. _ _ ------- The llioniteur publishes the following : " Serious disturbances broke out on Sunday the 19th inst., in the arrondissement of Sancerre (Cher). The magistrates of Sancerre having arrested and imprisoned at Sancerre three inhabitants of Percy, among whom was a discharged mayor of Percy, the inhabitants rose and at• tempted to rescue them. A. body of 500 men, armed with muskets and scythes, assembled and marched to within a few miles of the town. The authorities, on learning what was going on, assembled all the troops they could, and dispersed the insurgents. Twenty-six of the insurgents have been arrested with arms in their bands, and have been sent to Bourges. The whole of the public functionaries behaved well. Although the mill tary force in the department of Cher is considered suffi cient, the Government yesterday sent off a battalion of the 41st Regiment from Paris by the Orleans Railway for Bourges. By the latest accounts the disorders had been completely suppressed." The Bourse was much agitated. The Five per Cents.! opened at 90f. 60c., and rose to 90f. 90c.; but towards three o'clock am announcement was made to the Commissary of the Bourse, on what was considered re spectable authority, that the resignation of all the Mi nisters had been accepted, and the Five per Cents. fell suddenly to eof. 45c. They rallied again on the belief that M. Fould would hold office in the new Ministry, and they closed at 90f. 70c. for the end :of the month; the.

It is stated to be as liberal as the present condition of Germany permits. It enacts that there shall be only one Legislative Assembly for the two duchies. With respect to the succession to the throne, it is enacted that, if the Prince A.I.IIEIIT, husband o f th e Queen of ENGIJIIID, should be called to it he m ay nominate a governor, in the event of his declini ng to fix his residence in the duchy. It is further enacted that, if the reigning duke shall ascend a foreign throne, he shall vacate the throne of the duchy. Th e c l auses relative to the a the great German P rights of the subjects are rights of borrowed in e mea surepeople. fro The m Assembly of Citizens of Bremen, in a recent sitting, definitively rejected the propositions o f th e Senate for aboliibing the fundamental rights, In WEDNESDAY consequence the existing constitution will be main tained. It was stated that this resolution would cause a federal commissioner and a body of Austrian troops to be sent to the Senate. The Assembly of Citizens of Lubeck resolved on the 9th that the fundamental rights should be abolished. TURKEY.

Chapman, R.N., with the Brazilian mails, arrived this morning at ten o'clock. She left Buenos Ayres on the 3d of Sept., Monte Video 6th, Rio 14th, Pernambuco 22d, St. Vincent 30th, Teneriffe Oct. sth, Madeira 7th, and Lisbon on the 10th. She brought diamonds to the amount of 15,0001., and a very large and valuable cargo. Affairs in the River Plato remain in the most unsatisfactory state, but hostilities had not commenced. The cholera had subsided in the island of the Grand Canary. The news from Lisbon is one day later than that per Iberia, but nothing of a political character had trans pired in the interim. The elections for the next Cortes are to begin on the 2d Nov. A Brazilian steamer had arrived at Rio Janeiro with intelligence that Count Cozies, at the head of 12,000 Brazilian troops, had entered the Monte Video territory on the 4th of September, and had no doubt ere this effected a junction with Urquiza. Oribe had applied to the French and English admirals for protection in re treating to Buenos Ayres, but it was refused. General Urquiza arrived at the Passo os Toros, on the Rio Negro, where he had been joined by the forces of Generals Garzon and Virusona. Urquiza was master of all the territory on the north of the Rio Negro, and also of both sides of the River. Exchange at Rio 29, Bahia 29, Pernambuco 28i.

THE ALLEGED SYSTEM OF EMBEZZLEMENT:J=6T George Spencer and George Hamlet Gi itten, late clerks in the employment of Mr. William Samuel Burton, the eminent furnishing ironmonger in Oxford-street, were this morning again placed in the dock, being charged upon a fresh indictment for other acts of embezzlement, of subsequent dates to those of which they were yester day acquitted. On this indictment the evidence was considered conclusive, and the prisoners were convicted. The facts were of a very similar character to those given in evidence yesterday. They were each sentenced to one year's imprisonment with hard labour. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY The supply of English Wheat on sale in to-day's market was veryilimited, but in fair average condition. Selected samples moved off steadily, at full Monday's quotations. In other kinds very little business trans acted. Several parcels of Wheat sold for forward de livery. The imports of Foreign Wheat are only 2,370 quarters. This article was held at full prices, but the want of speculative sales checked business. One or two floating cargoes of Polish Odessa Wheat, off Falmouth, were disposed of at 30s per quarter, all charges included. On the whole the Barley trade was firm. In prices, however, no change took place. Malt dull, but not cheaper. The Oat trade was far from active, yet late figures were well supported. Beans and Indian Corn dull; but Peas and Flour were quite as dear as last week. ____ ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. 1 Oats. .... I Wheat. I Barley. i Malt. Flour. Qrs. 1 Qrs.

MIDDLESEX MAGISTRACY.—Upon the nomination of the Marquis of Salisbury, the Lord Chancellor has ap pointed William Pane de Salis and L. C. Tennyson D'Eyn court, Esqs., to be magistrates for the county of Middlesex. AN Excuse roe, HASTE.—When Lieut. O'Brien was blown up in the Edgar, and thrown on board the Ad miral, all black and wet, he said to the commander, with pleasantry, " I hope, sir, you will excuse my dirty appear ance, for I left the ship in so great a hurry that I had no time to change my dress." DIVIDEND DAY AT THE BANK OF ENGLAND AND SOUTH SEA HOUSE.—Yesterday being the day for paying the October dividends, the Rotunda of the Bank ot Eng land, and the different offices of that national monetary but wark of England's commercial power, presented one of the most bustling and lively scenes that have ever been wit nessed in Threadneedle-street at this season of the year. As soon as the gates :were opened omnibuses and cabs were setting down their joyful passengers, in gay attire, at the Royal Exchange, with smiling countenances. Old dowa gers, young widows, old maids, and young maidens, accom panied by their friends, among whom were some of the old and young aspirant English gentlemen who have been lately enjoying a visit to the Chrystal Palace, and the numerous attractions and amusements of the great metropolis, pre sented themselves at the counters of that golden shrine of wealth, to receive their dividends. The transfer books for Bank Stock will be opened on Friday next, the 17th instant. Three per Cent. Annuities Reduced ditto, Long Annuities ditto ; Annuities for terms of years ditto, and Three-and a-Quarter per Cent. Annuities, on Tuesday next, the 21st inst. The transfer books at the South Sea House for South Sea Annuities, will also be opened on Friday next, the 17th instant. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LITE.—The long-pending marriage, which has been several years on the tapis between the Hon. Captain F. Evans Frake, of the 2d Life Guards, brother to Lord Carbery, and Lady Catherine Pakenham, daughter of the late Earl of Longford, was solemnised yes terday morning, at St. George's, Hanover-square, in the presence of a large circle of friends and relatives. It is expected that Earl Granville, Paymaster of the Forces, and Lord Seymour, First Commissioner of Public Works, will be shortly added to the Cabinet. PRUSSIAN POLICE TELEGRAPH.—A system of tele graphic wires has been laid from the central Berlin police office to all the stations and police houses of guard, and the men are being instructed in the management of the apparatus. The plan was at first proposed with a view to giving quick notice in case of fire; but the telegraphs will be far more actively employed for the business of the detective force; they will enable the police, on an alarm being given at any station, to put the force in all parts of the city simultaneously on the look out ; and where parties " wanted" are to be taken by surprise, a telegraphic order to the nearest guard-house will bring the force upon them with irresistible suddenness. In case of disturbances these telegraphs will offer the means of concentrating the police or bringing out the military with the greatest rapidity. - - THE LATE CASE OP ALLEGED MANSLAUGHTER IN THE CITY.—On Monday Inspectors Cale, Mitchell, and Howard, arri a representative of each of the police divisions of the city of London, waited upon Mr. Lewis, the attorney, of Ely-place, and presented him with a pair of splendid silver dishes,weighing upwards of 130 ounces, bearing an inscription, in grateful acknowledgment of his great exertions in defend ing Benjamin Cole, a constable in the force, who was indicted for manslaughter at the September sessions, 1851, at the Central Criminal Court. Within the last few days it has come to the know ledge of the Messrs. Hoare, bankers, of Fleet-street, that a robbery to a considerable extent has for some time been com mitted upon them by a confidential clerk, who from specu lating on the Stock Exchange had incurred considerable losses, and in an evil hour had been induced to alter the figures in the bank books, whereby a defalcation, to the ex tent, we believe, of upwards of 10,0001. has occurred. The person has been in the service of the Messrs. Hoare upwards of twenty years. THE LATE VISIT OF TUE QUEEN TO MANCHESTER. —The casualties attendant upon the Royal visit were very few, but it is to be regretted that two of them were attended with loss of life. A girl named Louisa Teel was shot in the eye by the wadding from a cannon fired by a youth named James Alcock, and he was yesterday morning committed for manslaughter. An infant was also squeezed to death in its mother's arms on Friday night, and a man was crushed by a cart wheel against a barrier. CHELSEA MILITARY COLLEGN.-Napoleon Bona parte, son of Jerome Bonaparte, governer of the Invalides, at Paris, visited Chelsea Hospital on Sunday. He was re ceived by the military and civil authorities. He minutely inspected the interior of the establishment, and particularly inquired into all the arrangements so beneficially made for the comfort of the old veterans. REMOVAL OF THE REGISTRAR-GENERAL'S DEPART MENT snot Sommtawr-Liousx.—ln consequence of the in tended building alterations in Somerset-place, with a view to the accommodation of the Board of Inland Revenue, preparations are now being made to remove the voluminous records, furniture, &c., of the Registrar-General's offices, in• eluding its large mats of statistical reports and extensive library of " blue books" and other works. The Registrar- General's department will occupy new offices, fitting up in commodious premises in the vicinity of Great George-street, Westminster. The establishment has a numerous staff of clerks, and on that account considerable difficulty has been experienced in obtaining sufficiently capacious office-room, particularly as so much of what may be termed" warehouse" accommodation is required for the Government documents of this department. WELCOME TO KOSSllTlL—Yesterday W. Pritchard, Esq., pursuant to a requisition signed by upwards of 369 electors of the borough of Southwark, fixed to hold a public meeting at the Town-hall on Friday, to adopt an address to, and take the necessary steps to give a welcome to Kos suth, the Hungarian patriot, on his reaching the 41=03 of Englud.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti- ' mated at 5,000 bales, of which 1,000 American, 300 Pernam and Maranham, and 200 Surat were taken for export. The sales comprised 3,500 American, 600 Per nam and Maranham at sifl. to 74d., 250 Egyptian at 6d. to Bid., and 500: Surat at 21d. to 4d. par lb. The market ,was quiet, and the tendency of prices in favour of buyers.—The Share Market was flat at lower prices. Wheat is dull to-day at about Monday's prices. The electric telegraph from Trieste gives an outline of the Indian news, and as far as this goes no important change appears to have occurred in trade. The letters by the Tay steamer, from Brazil, have been delivered, and their contents are, politically, fully confirmatory of the previous advices. The latest date from Monte Video is September 6, Buenos Ayres Sep- tember 3, and Rio de Janiero September 14. Oribe evi dently had given up his cause for lost, having sought a safe escort from the French and English Admirals to Buenos Ayres, where, of course, he would have strength ened Roses, and have prolonged the struggle. Happily our commanders intended to preserve a neutral policy, and if Monte Video cannot be quit of her besiegers by their retreat, she will before long be relieved from the in tolerable and protracted land blockade, by the surrender or defection of every man in Oribe's ranks. Business at Rio was necessarily very dull, and the exports of coffee fell very short, during August, of what they were in the previous month. Prices seem too high to offer much inducement to English houses in Brazil to ship to Europe. At Buenos Ayres imports were dull still, and although the arrivals were more moderate the stocks on hand were excessive. . . At the meeting yesterday of merchants and others in terested in the communication with India and China via Egypt, and which threatens to be interrupted by the firrnun of the Sultan, interdicting the continuation of the proposed railway from Cairo to Alexandria, the chair was taken by J. Gregson, Esq., who contended that the proposed interruption would be most injurious to the commercial interests of this country, the Sultan by the treaty of 1841 having no longer the power to interfere with the international affairs of Egypt. He trusted that, with the good feeling that existed on the part of our Government heretofore, an amicable arrangement would be effected, and that this meeting would be followed by similar demon strations in other parts, as well as in the great manu facturing towns of the United Kingdom. Mr. Briggs, late Consul-General of Egypt, moved a resolution to the effect, " that a safe and speedy communication through Egypt had become essential to the good government of our Indian possessions, and was in nowise detrimental to any other power whatever." He thought this inter ruption was calculated to introduce anarchy into Egypt, and would necessarily be most injurious to this country. The meeting concluded by adopting a memorial to her Majesty's Government, arguing the propriety of an immediate interference to secure the lino of communica tion as proposed. The Gazelle of last night gives the names of three partners in the old bank at Newport, all of the same family, the Williams'. As to the strictures of a cor respondent from that town, concerning the information and conclusions of the party who so promptly trans mitted exclusive details to The Sun, we feel bound to say that the balanee-sheet does not, in the opinion of ,hose who remember the issue of pro Yi.Otla bank failures, altogether justify the favourable results antici pated by the gentleman who complains. It would be invidious at this distance from the scene of the disaster to give an opinion upon the goodness of the seourities and discounts, and all we can state is that in ba,aking circles they are not well spoken off. Out of a suca of three-quarters of a million sterling it will be hard if a good dividend cannot be obtained for discharging th'e half million of liabilities, and if the shareholders are not called upon to make further sacrifices than the entire loss of their capital, they will be more fortunate than others under similar circumstances. The amount at the disposal of the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt is officially an nounced to be 760,3281. 2s. 3d., all to_be invested before the sth of next January. There was a slight decline yesterday in the rates at which bills were negotiated on Paris, Antwerp, and Trieste, but Frankfort was steady, and also Amsterdam, while Hamburgh rose I. The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 13th inst. was firmer. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 57i. Stock being rather scarce, and the failure yesterday of a heavy Bear having compelled the buying in of his account, prices look up, and money business has been done currently at 961 to 97. This establishes a slight " baccadation," for tho highest prices yet offici ally marked for November 12 are 961 i; although, at present, they are 96j-, rather buyers. The Ministerial crisis in France, and the unsettled feeling that prevails in respect to the future, deter speculative operations for the rise. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been at 97} I. Bank Stock has been very firm at 2121 to 2121, and .India Stock is at 262.

CLOSE OF THE GREAT EXHIBITION, (THIS DAY.) The Exhibition was finally closed to -day. strik" morning was miserably wet, and presen ted a the contrast to the brilliant weather that prevailed 0° the occasion of the opening. In spite, however, of elements, thousands upon thousands resolved to ness the closing ceremony, and accordingly long a , ° :, fore nine o'clock the west-end thoroughfar es to Hyde-park were completely choked up b c e b `; Iles of every description, from the dilapidated ea es the emblazoned equipage of the Peer. T he Omnibus too, came in for a considerable share of patronseg: t and every one that ran within half a mile of h° , er e citing scene which the Crystal Palace presented,obso filled, both inside and out. The police, as t i ll , e l nt done from the commencement, made excel'!" tint rangements for the accommodation of the publi. c a ' t i e gs those who were fortunate in obtaining the PP . ° , a d' of entrie found no difficulty whatever in gaia ln ' f fed mission.

The programme issue d a few dgoverof was strictly observed by the Executive eornroissl,ol‘ and the unreserved doors were opened at tea ? n or and closed at half-past eleven. It would be 1 708 sible to form anything like an accurate idea 0 0ce of numbers present, but, taking the whole apPelll.o l the interior as a criterion, it may be safely an ,. . that there were as many spectators favoured t"gosi ed th°, sight of the pageantry to-day as enjoY fortune at the opening ceremony on the Ist e c l i fe ts last. Amongst the earliest arrivals were L er ; Russell, Sir George Grey, and Mr. Fox ril au ,; ( ler Secretary at War, whoa ppeared to be sv ' t ,tiorl, fully improved in health by their recent relll$1001;e3 from the fatigues of office.
