UMW( s LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 15, lasi. We are not surprised at the great agitation at re sent prevailing am ong all classes of the community n the subject of the su s p ens i on of the construction ofy the projected railroad between Cairo and Suez. 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 clas3 of society, the members of which have not either relations or friends or correspondents in some Portion of our Oriental dominions. As was well ob. h ":td by th e c h a i rm an of the meeting of merchants, which w as yesterday held at the London Tavern to 4 -cl u n sithrr the means to b e a d op t e d t o avert the conse coet lik ely to ensu e from the stoppage of the ruction ot ir,g the safety the r a il way, an d f rom th e endanger existing facilities end the continuance of the for the transit of pas sengers and p arcels " the and of f eross the Isthmus of Suez — way would be talc that that communication in any commerce of this country' and prejudicial to the lllainisters, and distress barrassing to her M A3 ,, Tl n , s a e 'Ea tern Empire, em -0 have their relations ins ; to thousands of families V rid friends so far from the communeincaatithere is danger that this most necessary terrupted, and that we may be starldraay be in the overlanbdy the an nouncement of the stoppage of nication to India. The following extract fernnanni !speech of Mr. BARTON, the chairman of the from held yesterday, gives a summary view of the presentg State of the question. He 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 woneierful man, MEHEMET ALT, Who, 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, IBRAHIM PACHA, this state of things continued, and our relations with his Government were satisfactory. Up to the present moment, also, under his Highness ABBAS PACHA, 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-MESCnID 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 PacnA 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 baring 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. MACGREGOR'S) decided opinion, and he was very much mistaken if that was not the opinion of Lord Par..- 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 llon. 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. Ile 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 HUMB, 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. Ile 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, wile should have been ashamed to desert the banner under which they had previously arrayed themselves. A meeting was accordingly held on Monday, at the ar t en s Merchants hail, Edi n b u r g h, when that spacious apartment w oat. t c h r e o w u d o e n d . tou Gentleman utmostem an o n d t e h g e r eaeb above v o e hear thepaddress in teresting topics. The first point alluded to by Mr. HUME was the anxiously looked -for revision o f t axa ti on . He showed t h at his motion his successful motion of la s t year, that had been so streeuously opposed by some pers ons w themselves th e names of "Reformershoarrogated to the income and p roperty-tax should he continued"was, that one year, "with a view of givin time for whole system of taxatio n ." g That w to rovise the to which every man whodividedttho object the Honourable Gentleman deliberately with himself. Had he proposed the total rejection of the pledged impost, in consequen c e of the s tupid and unmeaning opposition of the CHANCE LL O R of the Excntgu Ea 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 schedules would be sufficient. It was not by taking u_%.epany tax separately that a just and politic Tr' could be introduced, or that the free-trade principles that had sanctioned been deliberately recognised and by the Lpractical operation, egislature could be carried into far to permit a I°l'. No ; the disease bad gone too effective, `yea an but the boldest desired to obtain a h strike at its very root, if we The Honourable d'eplaPt? result. Man also proved that these LONDON, were no new opinions, taken up for the moment, i or for the purpose of inflicting any injury on the Government." In 1842—when theßill was first introduced under the :pleasing delusion that it was to be continued but for three years, while the national revenue was recovering from the state of collapse into which it had ',.fallen —Mr. HUME declared his opinion that it would prove unequal and unjust in its opera tion, and pointed out clearly and distinctly how ma terially it varied from the principles of the Act of WILLIAM and MART (the most equitable fiscal measure that was ever carried), and which should form the precedent of all future le gislation on such points. 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. . , t , $ 0.41, A. *;„ . . 1 4 '; 1 .

RESIGNATION OF THE FRENCH MINISTRY. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. All the Minister 3 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 Assemblie 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 to-morrow (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 have 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 Comititutionnel 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 LEVACSEUR, 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 .illonikur 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 hands, and have been sent to Bourges. The whole of the public functionaries behaved well. Although the mili 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., asd rose to 90f. 90c.; but towards three o'clock as announcement was made to the Commissary of the Bourse, on what was considered re spectable authority, that the resignation of all tho Mi nisters had been accepted, and the Five per Cents. fell suddenly to 901. 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: Three per Cents. closed at 55f. 65c.; Orleans Railroad Shares, 8551. ; Rouen, 565 f.; Bane, 2121. 50c.; Great Northern, 455 f.; Avignon, 218 f. 75c.•, Vierzon, 422 f. 50c.; Bordeaux, 3811. 25c.; Paris and Strasburgh, 350 f.; Tours and Nantes, 260 f.; Amiens to Boulogne, 260 f, BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, Our. 14.

GERMANY. The ministerial crisis in Germany is over ; the old Ministers having patched up their differences continue in office. The EMPEROR left Vienna for Gallicia on the 11th. The King of HANOVER is recovering from his recent illness. The Government of Saxe Coburg Gotha has pre pared a common constitution for the Duchies of Coburg Gotha, which have hitherto been under sepa rate administrations. 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 ALBERT, husband of the Queen of ENGLAND, should be called to it he may nominate a governor, in the event of his declining 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. The clauses relative to the rights of the subjects are borrowed in a great mea sure from the fundamental rights of the German people. The Assembly of Citizens of Bremen, in a recent sitting, definitively rejected the propositions of the Senate for abolishing the fundamental rights. In OOROUGH HOP RIIIIMET.

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 ,Eumerous 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 lIIGLI LIFE.---The long-pending marriage, which hail 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 pl?ti was at first proposed with a view to giving quick notice in case of fire; but the telegraphs will be fir 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 oat; 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 OF ALLEGED MANSLAUGHTER IN TUE CITY.-- On Monday Inspectors Cale, Mitchell, and Cloward, and 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 indicted for Benjamin Cole, a c o nst a bl e i n th e force, who was for manslaughter at the September sessious, 1861, 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 THE 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 COLLEGE.—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 Or THE REGISTRAR- GENERAL'S DEPART MENT FROM SOMERSET-HOUSL—In 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 cluding its large mass 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 144 leaching the shores of England, EDNESDAY EV 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. T LIRKEY. Letters from Constantinople of the Ist stale that the Egyptian question was still in statu quo. THE BRAZILIAN MAIL. --- SOUTHAMrTON, OCT. 14.—The steam-ship Tay, Lieut. 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 Gth, Rio 14th, Pernambuco 2'2d, St. Vincent 30th, Teneriffe Oct. sth, Madeira 7th, and Lisbon o❑ the 10th. She brought diamonds to the amount of 15,0001., and a very large and valuable cargo. Affairs in the River Plate remain in the most unsatisfactory state, hut 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 bad arrived at Rio Janeiro with intelligence that Count Cozias, at the head of 12,000 Brazilian troops, bad 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 28k. The Cape mails had not arrived at St. Vincent when the Tay left. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) THE ALLEGED SYSTEM OF EMBEZZLEMENT.—James George Spencer and George Hamlet Gi itten, late clerks i❑ 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.) Eailways.

Selected samples moved off steadily, at full Monday's quotations. In other kinds very little business trans acted. Several parcels of Wheat sold for for ward 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 par 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 trado was far from active, )et late figures were well supported. Beans and Indian Corn dull; but Peas and Flour were quite as dear as las' week. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. 1 Wheat. English •• •• •• Irish •• •• •• •• Foreign ..••• Barley. I Malt.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 5,000 bales, of which 1,000 American, 300 Pernnm and Maranham, and 200 Surat were taken for export. The sales comprised 3,500 American, 600 Per nam and Maranham at 52d. to 71d., 250 Egyptian at 6d. to Sid., and 500: Surat at 24d. to 4d. per lb. The market ,was quiet, and the tendency of prices in favour of buyers.—The Share Market was fiat 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, whore, 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 Oribo'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 vii Egypt, and which threatens to be interrupted by the firman 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 moat 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 line of communica tion as proposed. The Gazette 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 balance-sheet does not, in the opinion of those who remember the issuo of previous 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 securities and discounts, and all we can state is that in banking circles they are not well spoken off. Out of a sum of three-quarters of a million sterling it will bo hard if a good dividend cannot bo obtained for discharging the 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_bo 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 is The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 13th inst. was firmer. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 571. 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 96; to 97. This establishes a slight " baccadation," for the highest prices yet offici ally marked for November 12 are 96: 4 1 i; although, at present, they are 96i, rather buyers. The Ministerial crisis in France, and the unsettled feeling that prevails in respect to the future, deter speculative operations for the rise.
