" Check to your queen, John !" says the man vs ith the triple crown. "Pooh ! pooh ! your Bishop is out of his place, man," is John Bull's cool reply.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 14, 1850. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. Tl.:4leS.—Th e pub :c have been requested to suspend their judgment as to the merits of the con tro• versy between the Bishop of London arid Mr. Bennett, in a letter from Sir Jelin Ilariegton charging the Bishop with an unfair statement of the dispute. We have now the whole correspondence befere us, and must coefise ourselves, in the absence of any commentary from Mr. Bennett or his friends, totally at a loss to conc ive in what material point the correspendence in fall differs from the abridg. rent of it as put forth by the Bishop of London. The precise grounds of Mr. 13rinett's resignation— namely, the not being permitted to introduce into the church of St. Bernebes all the irregularities at once which may be found scattered through all the parish churches of E %laud ; the hardship of being debarred front making the house of prayer a kind of ecclesiastical album or scrap book, in which, without th e t rou bl e o f hunting fos isolated anomalies, they mi g ht b e f ound altogether like the oln-ctionable passsges in an Index Explugatorius, are left exactly the same as they were. The only addition that w e can find of any importance is a prof esion of faith which, coupled with the one contained in Mr. Ilsnnetets letter to Lord John Russell, is curious as evidencing what a clergy man of the Church of Englund, whose earthly head is the Queen, whose rule of faith is the Scrip ture, and the Scripture only, may believe, may avow, and may still remain within her bounds. Mr. Bennett, in these documents boldly as serts the infallibility of the Church (which is not the Church o f E ngland), whose servants, kings and statesmen are ; he treats the Royal supremacy as intolerable tyranny, sneers at the Established Church as the tool, the instrument, the creature, the f oo d o f statesmen, as Eras an in spirit, and barren and lukewarm in its care of souls when compared with the Roman Catholic Church, and declares that if the theory of an Act of Parliament Church be carrried out by governing her by a power external to herself, many more clergy will follow the most holy and most learned among them who have already gone to Rome. The man who writes thus is no longer insidious, he is a bitter and outspoken enemy to the Church and Consti tution of this land. He has withdrawn his allegi ance from our Crown and his obedience from our laws, to confer it on a metaphysical abstraction, ex tending through all time, pervading all space, which no one has seen, no one has heard, no one has touched, but of which all we know is that he is its self-consti tuted and unhesitating expositor. The existence of this impalpable essence, the duties which it requires from us, and the precepts which it teaches, the laity are not to presume to speculate on for themselves, but to receive them with implicit faith from the sacer dotal body to whom their teaching is intrusted. Theology, according to this school, is a matter with which the laity have no right to meddle—they must leave it to their betters, the sacerdotal mediators who manage all these things for them. We agree with Mr. Bennett that politicians have nothing to do with theological controversy. The truth and soundness of his opinions will therefore be unquestioned by us. Whether the substitution of impalpable abstractions for tangible realities, whether the placing the mitre above the Crown, the Church above the Bible, and the clergy above all, be or be not the real essence of Christianity, we do not now discuss; but we claim the right to give our opinion on a plain question of morals, and to tell Mr. Bennett that whatever be the place where he and hi s res tl ess coadjutors ought to take up their abode, that place is most assuredly not the Church of England ; his own argument is conclusive on this po int. le hi s op i n i on, th e infallible is sacrificed to the fallible, the spiritual to the temporal, the heavenly to the earthly Church; why, then, to use the expression of a more distinguished convert, Dr. Newman, does he bear about with him the body of this death ? Why does he cling to a Church which speaks, according to the sam e wr it er, with the stammering lips of ambiguous formularies ? Why, when he has discovered what is good, and what is cell, does he range himself on the sid e o f t h e ev i l, if his heart, his principles, his feelings, hi s convic tions, are against ? Why is his name, his bodily presence, his external seeming with us ? We can not even see, on his own principles, what part he can clhiin in that infallible Church in which he be lieves, since it is only through the medium of that Erastian, barren, lukewarm, Act of Parliament Church of EngLnd that he claims connexion with the infallible Church. The infallible, universal Church is the essence, the Church of England is the accident. flow, upon Mr. Bennett's principles, can the latter give admission to the former—the slats dow to the substance, the nonentity to the reality? Mr. Bennett and the one thousand eight hundred clergymen who, he says, have denied in writing the supremacy of the Queen, are much deceived if they thick they can palm off such doctrines, coupled with such acts, upon the people of England as a mere ques tion of theology, and shelter themselves behind the right of private judgment, which, in the same breath that they claim it, they surrender at the feet of their phantom Church. Whether their doctrine b 3 true or not is a question of theology; whether their acts be conformable to their doctrines is no question of theology, nor yet of consistency, but of bare and ob vious morality. We do not say that they are schismatic, for we do no t presume to dogmatize; we do not say they are inconsequent, for their doc trines are coherent and systematic; but we assert that by remaining in the Church of England, which they have brought themselves to despise and revile for being governed as she always has been governed ever since the Reformation, they are guilty of a moral obliquity which deprives them of all claim to the respect and good opinion of honest men of any sect. It is vain for Mr. Bennett to plead the right of private judgment, in which he does not believe. That right, like other rights, has its limits, and these ex tend not beyond the domain of speculative theology. In matters of honesty we know no right of private judgment- 7 n° allowance for diversity of opinion; the law is precise and absolute, and an honest man as little dreams of a deviation from it as from the axioms of mathematical sc i ence. N o b o d y o bj ec t s t o Mr. Bennett's privat e op i n i ons, it would b e a viola tion of the right of p r i vate j udgment to d o so; b ut we do object, and with out any infraction of t h e r i ght of private judgment, that he, holding these opi nions, should be th e c l ergyman of any c h urc h of the Establishment. Mr. Bennett threatens us with secession a s well a s res i gnation, and predicts that when this process is comp l ete th e Ch urc h o f England will be little more than dry bones. We do not participate in this alarm. It is a fearful thing, no doubt, that any port i on of the system should be come diseased, but w h en once the disease is fully es tablished the welfare of the sound part demands that it should be eradicate.), and the excision is a cause, not of danger, but of aafety. Mr. Bennett has shown by his letter to. Lord J o h n R usse ll h ow lit t l e h e re spects the feelings or admits the judgment of the laity, unless indeed those feelings take the form of a morbid appetite for Roinanistn. Mr. Bennett has shown by his letter to the Bishop of London how little he re spects that canonical obedience in which he is bound to his bishop. A man who can neither treat his superiors with deference, nor his inferiors with mo deration and fairness, may be fit for many things, but is certainly rot fit for the ministry of a decorous and well-ordered Church, whose ritual and doctrines are part of the law of the land, receiving from the State ample temporal endowments and a modified spiritual pre-eminence only on condition of her ob serving that very mo d eration end temperance which Mr. Bennett so superciliously discards. We do not think that the la mentat i on of certa i n o f his parishioners will find an echo beyond the limits of his parish. Touse who, ns Sir John Ilarington informs us, have hitherto been kept from joining the Church of Ro , me , by means of th e " b eaut i fu l ceremo nial of St.Peus , , will have littl e cause to regre t a change which will 'place them at once in the third heaven of ceremonial observances. P rotestan t s w ill except to his doctrine; consistent T rac t ar ia ns t o his insubordination ; all mo derate men to a resignation which seems rather to have been di c t a t e d b y the mortification of his taste in ecclesiastical re ithetice thin by any attempted coercion of his opinions in more weighty . matters. r JOURNAL OF INDUS mi.-T HE Bunraos -IST THEORY OF M ONEF.—This theory is based on the assumption that money ought to possess intrinsic value, and re qu ires that it should be coined out of gold, sil ver , an d co pper. The English system orders al tender up to twelve pen ce ; that copp er s h a ll be lt , g that silver shall be legal tender up to 403.; and that for all sums beyond 40s. gold, of a definite weight and definite fineness, shall. alone b e l ega l tender. W e re this theory consistently acted upon, not a single bank note could be cir c ul a t e d. Th e currency would be exclus ively metallic. As such a system would arrest the future progress of civilization, and probably throw in back agricul ture, m a nufactures, trade, shipping and com merce, to the state which they existed during the epoch of the Plantagenet or Nor man princes, the bullionists have been compella-1 to compromi,e with their fundamental principle. Ac cordingly, the Act of 1844 permits the Bank of Eng ' land to issue notes to the extent of 14,000,000 of pounds sterling against the permanent and floating debt duo to it by the Government, without compe lli ng I that est a blishment to hold in its coffers an equivalent 14,000,000 in bullion ; the provincial banks of Eng land are allowed to issue 8,000,000; the banks of Ireland, 6,000,000; and the banks of Scotland 3,000,000. Thus in the aggregate a paper circula tion of 31,000,000, without the gua rantee o f any i metallic basis whatever, is authorised b y t h e very bullionist legislation which declares it to be a funda- I mental principle that money ought to possess intrinsic value. It should be noted that no debt whatever is due to the provincial, Irish, or Scotch theof England ; in the latter case th are banks, so that the Act of 1844 extend s t o t h em a privilege on totally . different gro un d s f rom Bank those which sanction the issue of 14,000,000 of' notes from is a pretext, however shallow and flimsy, fir viul.iting the rn..in principle; in the former there is none %shut- CVtr. The system stumbles on the very threshold. The theory next requires that the Bank of England and all other banks of issue shall hold gold in their coffers in exact equivalency to the amount of notes issued in excess of the authorised circulation of each. sasiuming then that the Bank of England bad 7,000,000 of gold in its coffers, it would be permitted to issue 21,000,000, of notes, of which 14,0)0,000 would represent the debt, and the remainder tee 7,000,000 of sovereigns; but if 1,000,000 of those sovereigns were drained out from the cellars, thou the Act of Parliament compels the withdrawal from circulation of 1,000,000 of notes, and the total issue of paper would be reduced to 20,000,000. This is styled by the bullionists the self-acting principle. The theory next enunciates the principle of convertibility, which requires that every note should be convertible or exchangeable into gold at the demand of the holder, when he present s it a t the counter o f th e Bank ofEngland. By this con trivance it is assumed and asserted, that, even with a paper note circulation, the whole currency is essen tially metallic; but this is not true, since no metallic guarantee whatever exists for the convertibility of the 31,000,000 of unsecured notes, which the Act of 1844 authorizes to be circulated. In defence of the sys tem it is urged that there is no likelihood of all the mitts being presented at once ; nor indeed is there when credit is sound, and confidence unshaken ; but that is a sorry system which can only be depended en when the mercantile horizon is unclouded, and no danger threatens ; to say the least, it makes the bullionist scheme a lottery subject to the chapter of accidents ' • and the experie nce o f th e pan i c of 1847 showed that a few of the London bankers could and would have stopped the Bank of England in that year, had not the Bullionist Act of 1844 been suspended by a Treasury letter. Gold may be drained from the Bank in two ways. It may be required for exporta tion to foreign countries to pay an adverse balance of trade. This happens when the value of goods im ported exceeds the value of goods exported. The drain may be an internal one. This happens when the people are fully employed in useful productions, for to raise and circulate an increased amount of produce obviously requires an increased amount of money. Incidental to both these states, and consequent upon them, is private hoarding, which locks up gold and prevents its flowing into the ordinary channels of circulation ; this is the result of panic. To these diversified operations and results the Act of 1844 applies, one uniform and inexorable rule, the Bank, in all cases, being compelled to contract its issue of notes exactly in proportion to the drain of gold. We pro ceed to show in what manner the action of the law is destructive of industry. The rational remedy for a foreign drain of gold would be the additional produc tion and export of commodities, in order that the ad verse balance of trade might be squared by barter; but this the law prevents; for as gold disappears, the circulation of notes is contracted, the interest of legal tender money rises from its forced and artificial scar city, and discounts are only obtained by the favoured few at a ruinous cost. The manufacturers, therefore, so fir from being able to add to produce, are com pelled to close their factories and dismiss their opera tives. Still, however, commodities must be forced out to the creditor countries to check the drain of gold; and es all future production is arrested while the pressure lasts, no alternative remains but to export goods already in existence. They must be sold at any sacrifice, however much below the cost of production. By this destructive process, gold is brought back from foreign countries to the cellars of the Bank of England, and the adverse balance of trade is rectified; but it can only be done under the bullionist theory by suspending iodastry, and ruining manufacturers and merchants. This consequence is indeed avowed by Mr. Jones Loyd, now Lord Overtone. In his " Reinarks on he Management of the Circulation," p. 38, he thus expresses himself :—" Against the actual exhaustion of its treasure by a drain through the foreign ex changes, the Bank, under almost any circumstances, has the power of protecting herself; but to do this, she must produce on the money market a pressure, ruinous from its severity; she must save herself by the destruction of all around her." Such is the scheme which unreflecting legislation deems best suited to this commercial country. In times past the export of gold has chiefly been caused by largo im p ills of foreign corn required in deficient harvests. Surely there is a refined cruelty in the bullionist system which dooms us to a famine of money, by the very effort which saves us from a famine of food; it only allows life to be preserved by the bankruptcy of fortunes. In this stage of the argument it is im ported to ask, whether the rich who consume without producing, who buy but do not sell, suffer any injury by the operation of the system at all equivalent to that which is sustained by the employers of labour, and by those who live on wages? So far from this being the case, it is certain that they derive a positive and considerable benefit from the periodical prostrations of industry ; for when these occur, the prices of all commodities fall in the home market just as low as in the markets of exportation; and a fall in prices is only another term for expressing a rise in the value of money. It is clear, then, that during the pressure which continues till the ex change between the debtor and creditor countries is brought to par, the purchasing power of all fixed in comes is increased ; so that they who are rich in such incomes are benefited by monetary panics. Selfishness make this class friends and allies of bullionism. Another result of the system is its effect on tax ation. Nominally the taxes remain the same, that is to say, they are computed in " pounds" whether the country is in a state of commercial confidence or commercial panic; but while a panic lasts they are practically increased ; for in a general fall of prices a man must give more goods for a " pound" than when prices are high. If a tax is levied on a house amounting to ten pounds, and the inhabitant is selling his goods at a remunerating price, the tax may fall on him with comparative lightness; but in a panic, when the prices of his goods decline, he may have to sell twice as many goods for the same amount of money he received when prices were re• munerating ; in which case the tax of ten pounds nominally so expressed in money, becomes twenty pounds when expressed in commodities. In this manner all producers suffer ; but the rich annuitant, fundholder, mortgagee, placeman, an d p ens i oner, are all reversely affected ; what they economise in the general fall of prices goes far to discharge their tax or even to discharge it in full. We pass now to an internal drain of gold, the mischief of which is as dis astrous as when it arises from a foreign drain. We have already stated that when this former species of drain occurs, it indicates a high state of industrial activity ; indeed it never can happen unless the people are fully employed, and as wages must increase under such circumstances an increase o f money to pay t h em becomes an inevitable necessity. Whatever the de mand for more money may be among the employers, the Act of 1844, leaving no discretion to the Bank of England, the limitation of paper issues cannot be ex ceeded; the same rigid rule, of course, acts upon the country banks. Toe employers, therefore, are com p lied to demand gold, or to suspend or contract their operations, since the law prevents the further emission of notes ; they take the gold, and with it for a brief time continue their business ; but as the gold is drained away from the Bank cellars, the Act of 1844 comes into merciless operation, and the circulation of notes meets with an immediate check. But the evil day is only postponed by the employers; indeed they have accelerated their own doom by taking gold from the Bank, which has merely afforded theta a tempo rary respite. There is no longer sufncient legal ten der money to carry on internal tr a d e . Th e 13,ank must save itself, and Mr. Jones Loyd has shown us how it can be done, and how it must be done. Discounts cease; all pecuniary accommodation is suspended; there is no longer any confidence be tween man and man ; all undertakings are checked, even the most useful, while the greater number of them are wholly arrested ; employment ceases, wages disappear, the poor-rates are increased. Such was the case in 1847 ; for • when the panic of that year occurred, the foreign exchanges were in favour of England both on the continent of Europe and in the United States of America. Mr. Cotton, Governor of the Bank of England, when examined before the Lords' Committee on commercial distress, deposed that from the let August to the 30th Oc tober in that year, 1,373,0001. was purchased by the Bank ; but that 2,200,000/. in sovereigns went out into the country in consequence of the internal demand, on which account the bullion in the Bank had decreased, although the importation from abroad was steadily progressing. Here, then, is a case in point, in which it is confessed that the bullionist sys tern checks production. The bullionist answer to this charge is, that the evil complained of does not arise out of their system, but out of over production. To which we reply by asking, In what sense are we to under stand the operative force and significancy of the pre position "over" prefixed to the sulistantive produc tian ? It cannot with truth be sa'd that production is " over" the natural wants and necessities, the na tural appetites and desires of the people, unless it can be proved that every man, woman, and child have more of all the good things of life than they desire to possess • but such a state of things h a s never oc curred, and consequently, in the sense referred to, the doctrine of over-production is a fallacy. The only rational interpretation of the phrase that remains is, that the production of commodities has been " over" the amount of money required for their circulation. Under this view we establish a very clear case of the under-production of legal tender, the instrument of exchange, instead of an over-production of the goods to be exchanged. Bullionist legislation, therefore, decides that it is better for the industrious classes to be deprived of employment and food than to allow the cellars of the Bank of England to be drained of gold. This theory requires that the number and amount of commercial transactions shall always be ]incited . 1 to the quantity of bullion th a t may f rom t i me to tune be lodged in the cellars of the Bank. This in- 1 sentient metal is thus made by Act of Parliament, the Master of the sentient being, Man, instead of , being his servant. It becomes the despot of intel- 1 ligence, and the law of progress must be stayed to humour its caprices. Were the bullionist theory a truth mankind could never have emerged from barbarism till gold mines had been discovered, the art of smelting perfected, and the machinery of a mint been brought into effective operation. The continu ance and multiplication of the human race would have depended, not on the fertile surface of the earth, but on a metal concealed in its bowels. Oar manu facturing interest now requires a larger and more certain supply of cotton than the United States can furnish; it seeks it from British India, but railways are there required to bring the cotton to the shipping ports. What obstacle prevents the immediate com mencement of this useful and remunerating effort of industry ? India has within herself all the needful materials of construction ; but the bullionist theory requires that they who propose to build a railway which in the future shall be worth 5,000,000/. sterling, must possess in the present, that is to say, before the work is commenced, 5,000,000/ cf sovereigns of full weight ; and for the loan or use of these, must pay interest to usurers. The law then of 1844 which seeks to guard the Bank of England against an internal drain, is a law for limiting in dustrial employment, as it confines all enterprise within the narrow range of a golden girdle. From the fallacy of over-production, the bullionists pro ceed to the fallacy of over-population. Were we to prohibit bank notes entirely, as the bullionist sys tem in its integrity demands, and confine ourselves to a metallic currency, we should be over-populated, in reference to money, even with a fiftieth part of our present numbers ; for money is a tool to work with, and if a law prohibits the increase of tools, the population, in reference to tools, may at any moment be rendered artificially redundant; while in reference to land, mines, navigation, manufactures, and other lucrative sources of labour, the population may be wholly inadequate. The truth is, that bullionist legislation withholds from able and willing labour the power of being self-sustaining, and having com mitted this wrong, then declares that labour is in excess. These economists create the very evil over which they affect to mourn. The bullionist system is designed to check credit, and yet the system itself is based on credit; for we have seen that 31,000,000 of notes are allowed to be issued without any me tallic basis whatever; this issue therefore is clearly a credit issue, and contradicts the whole theory. The object of these remarks has been to put bullionism on the defensive. Its authors assume that the system is perfect, although they take for granted the funda mental point in dispute. Without a shadow of reason they have decided that money ought to, and of neces sity must, possess intrinsic value, not observing that though the Author of Nature created gold, it was man who coined it into sovereigns. They appear to ima gine that the ore fresh dug from the mine was im pressed with a mint mark. The theory investigated shows that when a foreign drain of gold takes place, all existing stocks of goods must he sacrificed, to tempt foreigners to restore the bullion ; that when an internal drain takes place, the most useful works must be suspended. In both cases it is clear that bul lionism ruins industry, increases poor-rates, aggra vates the pressure of taxation, and by depriving the working classes of employment and wages, creates di.content, and not uefrequently prompts to sedition. It is a form of idolatry which enriches its priests by beggaring its worshippers. ALADDIN. MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From tha Mining Journal of this day.) A very extensive business has been transacted this week in every class of mines, of which, however, the • dividi nd ones have abserbed the greater portion, and a masked rise in their value may be noted partly feom this cause, but also from the improved prospects of se wen' of the leading concerns. For instance, East Pool have advanced from 90 t) 105; South Wheal Francis, from 600 to 640; West Providence, 41 to 50; East Tol gus, 9} to 20, and others in proportion. Buyers, how ever, still complain of the want of a general market for mining shares, the establithment of which we feel as cured would largely increase investments. A strong ar gument in favour of the vigorous prosecution of lead mines, and particularly those whose ores are rich in silver, is presented by an article iu the Times, of the 9th inst., wherein is shown that the increase of population, nod the industrial operations consequent thereupon, combined with other causes of a more transient cha racter, are creating an additional demand for silver coin all over the world, and thus enhancing its value; whilst gold, from a superabundant supply (estimated at ten mil lions sterling per annum from California alone), must undergo a depreciation in value, simply because it is likely to be less demanded for the purposes of circulation. The improvement noticed in the metal trade gene rally during the last few weeks continues unabated. Lead is in improved demand, at somewhat firmer prices. The market for foreign tin has been in a most excited state, and a very extensive business has been done—full 20,000 slabs having changed hands at advancing prices. English tin has advanced 3/. per ton, and tin-plates con tinue in good demand at full prices. Copper is steady, and without alteration. Another cargo of copper ore, 484 tons, has arrived st Swansea, from Cuba. The sales of copper ores at Redruth, on Thursday, amounted to 2,674 tons, producing 19,8091. 17s. 6d. Herodsfoot mine sold 80 tons of silver-lead ore, at 111. 17s. 61 per ton. The Glenmalur Mine, Wicklow, has sold 66 tons of lead ore, at 101. 103. per ton. The Keswick Mines sold two parcels of lead ore-10 tons at 111., and 5 tons at 101. 10s. per ton. Two parcels of lead ore from the Driggith Mine pro duced-10 tons, 11/. 10s., and 6 tons 91. 103. per ton. Wheal Mary Ann sold 90 tons of lead ore, at 191. Bs. 6d. por ton—the biddings for which varied from 151. 109. by the Combmartin and North Devon Smelting Com pany, to that of the purchasers, Messrs. Locke, Blackett, and Company. The lead ore raised at the Lisburne Mines in Novem ber amounted to 287 tons, of which 162 tons were from Froogoch, 117 tons from Logylas, and 8 tons from Graigocb. The report from the Nanteos Mines states that the five waits' sampling amounts to 52 tons of lead ore-36 tons from Bwlchgwin, and 16 tons from Gwaithgoch. At the Goginan Mines 80 tons of silver kad were e.ampled on the 10th inst. The 120 fathom level west is improved, and now yields 2 tons of ore per fathom. At the Bob Mine, Cardiganshire, the lode which has just bten cut in the cross-cut north, in the 46 fm. level, is expected to yield 10 cwts. of lead ore per fin. Several branches remain to be cut. At East Crowndale, the returns for Nov. will, it is es timat?.d, amount to 6 tons of black tin, and the mine generally is improving. Two parcels cf black tin from Drakewalls Mine were sold-51 tons at 451. 12s. Gd., and 3i at 401. ss. per ton. The first sale of tin from the Warleggau Consols Mine produced 47/. and 331. per ton. A discovery of some magnitude has taken place at Groat Sheba Consols; the lode is said to be 9 fr. wide, clrrying ore throughout, in the adit level; 70 men are employed in erecting machinery. It is supposed to be the Devon Consols lode. At Old Polberro Mine (St. Agnes), the 60 fm. lavel west is much improved; the lode is nearly 4 ft. wide, 2ft. of which is good work. Two tons of good ore were ob tained from a length of 4 ft. The tin dressing is going on tolerably Hell. At Bat [hies, the lode in the deep alit is worth 71, and the stones 161. per fathom. A cross-cut has been driven to Woodvein lode, and the accounts received aro encoura,ing. C3ok's Kitchen has greatly improved during the last two er three days, especially the north lode, where a great quantity of very rich copper ore has been raised. A dividend of 51. per share has been declared in the Cwmystwyth Mine. The Dalcoath Mine accounts show—By copper ore sold, 609/. 53. Id.; tin, 2,403/. 185. ld.; arsenic, 1371. 193. 7d.; sundry receipts, 1971. 153. 6d.--3,3451. 18s. 2d.

Bd.—leaving profit of 29/. 12,8 d.; the liabilities of the mine, which, at the end of August last, were 2,734/. Is. 9d., being thereby reduced to 2,704/. 9s. ld. At the Lamherooe Wheal Maria meeting the recent discovery on the B lode formed a subject of prominent interest, and the details given by Mr. Murray, which will be found in another column, afforded much satis faction. That gentleman stated that he had never in his experience seen a more promising copper lode, and he anticipated the most i mportant results from its workings. The funds in hand, it is supposed, would defray the ex penses of the past month. The shares forfeited to the mine are 306 out of 2,048, and it was resolved that the mine shall in future consist of 1,742 shares. The East Tyvvarnhale accounts show-Balance, July 31, 63/. 159.4 d.; mine costs, Aug., Sopt., and Oct., 305/. Os. 6d.; merchants' bills, 1474 Os. 1 1d.=5161. 2s. 91-By call of 21. per share, 512/.-leaves balance in favour, 41. 2s. 93. A call of 3/. per share was made. The East Wheal George Mine account showed-Total expen liture to the end tit Nov., 2,365/. 15s. 81-11e ceipts front three calls, 2,0484; ors sold, 2161, la. 3d.; leaving balance against the adventures, 1011. 14s. sd. Ttio reports from CaptE. S. Lern and Pumroy were fa vourable, and it was believed that no further call would be required. At the Tavy Consuls meeting the accounts showed- Balance at last meeting, 347/. 7s. 3d.; mine cost for Sep tember, 222/. 16s. Bd.; October, 231/. 2s. 3d.; dues, 50/. 4s.

It is expected that as the cost will henceforth be much less than here tofire, and that all possible reductions have been made in the expenses, a monthly profit will be shown in future, the ground in the shaft through H hich they are sinking giving hopes of a considerable improvement in the lode at the next level. At the Wheal Sarah meeting it was determined that the working of the mine be resumed on the plan recom mendel by Mr. Murray in his report. A balance el 2331. 142. 4d. rem a i n i ng i n the hands of Mr. Wisemanwas directed to be applied to the payment of the mine debts. Mt. Crofts, the. secretary, tendered his resigna tion, on the ground that his other avocations precluded his givin g t h o necessary attention to t h e affairs of the emptily.

BEAUMONT INSTITUTION, AIILE-END —The direc tors of this establishment treated its subscribers and members to a grand concert on Tuesday evening last, when the fol lowing favourite vocalists officiated :—Mrs. Newton, Miss Birch, Miss Poole, Miss Lizzy Stuart, Mr. Whit worth, Mr. Harrison, and Mr. G. Tedder, with Mr. E. A. Brown as conductor. The songs, &c., were selected from the works of the most eminent native and foreign composers. The merits of the artists above.menrioned are already so well known and established that little may be said of their performances on this occasion than that thzy delighted the audience. It was one of the I alias' ( Miss Stuart) first appearance at this institution, and if we may judge of the reception her songs received, the di rectors will indulge the members to have her included among the corps en all occasions they repeat the entertainment. She sang the songs and pieces allc tted to her with great taste and talent; and experience will establish her also among the metropolitan favoarites. Mr. Whitworth was in excellent • - and acqeitted himself in his usual accomplished anner. OMNIBUS REGULATIONS AND THE POLlCE.—Orders have been issued from Scotland-yard to the police to make a minute inspection of all the omnibuses plying to and from different parts of the metropolis, and printed and elaborate qaeriee have been sent out to be filled up and sent in to the Commissioner. The object which the Commissioner has in view is that of having these vehicles so constructed as not only to give sufficient accommodation to the number of pas sengers fur which they are licensed, but to prevent the pre sent pressure of the feet of those passengers sitting at both corners of the upper end of the omnibuses not consistent with decency, and frequently most disagreeable to the feel ings of modest females; and this desirable object Mr. Mayne opinion can be accomplished by a change he has pointed out. Another object in view is that of preventing the pre sent mode of overloading the tops of omnibuses, and com pelling the inside passengers to squeeze themselves into a space much less than that which is consistent with ease or comfort. Indeed many of the vehicles which have been mea • sured have been found to be less by 32 inches (or the neces sary space lor two passengers) than that for which they were licensed. The new regulations will compel the proprietor.; of all omnibuses to have a proper table of fines placed in a proper and conspicuous part of their vehicles, which will prevent great trouble and annoyance. THE NEW REGULATIONS OF THE MASTERS IN CHANCERY. -- A memorial numerously signed by some of the leading members of the legal profession has just been presented to the Lord Chancellor, letting forth the inconve niences attendant upon the new regulations adopted by the Masters in Chancery for the hearing of causes;and matters. The Lord Chancellor, in acknowledging the receipt of the memorial, states that he will give his best attention to the suijiet, with a view to a remedy that shall be convenient to the profession and beneficial to the suitors of the Court of Chancery. The council of the Incorporated Law Society are also considering the whole subject, to ascertain if possible what will be the best remedy; and the various Masters in hancery, with whom these regulations mainly rest, are also being conferred with on the question. • FRENCH FLOUR.—The vessel Amity, which has arriv,ll in the River from Rye, has brought 434 sacks of fl mr, ex the vessel Emelie and Marie, wrecket on her voyage from Caen to this country. At the Wheal Vincent mee'nz.; it was r. - s lveri that a call of 2s. 6d. per share should h,: so,.de, sod se-p,i kr n to obtain the payment of calls in arrest-. Mr. Murray gave a very favourable account of the capabilities of the mine, and stated that two tons of tin ere could be raised from the new :haft per month, with a gocd pr, , fit to the ad venturers. At Wheal Trefusis meetin;, the accounts presented nd,passed showed a balance against the adventurers of 1101. 17s. 2d.; the debits, inclusive of the telance against the mine at the en d of August, merchants' bills, &c., were 6921. 4s. 10d. The sum collected on last call was 5044; tinstuff sold, 771. 7s. 81.-leaving the balance as stated. A call of 102. per share was made. The re t ort on the mine was of a satisfactory chat acter. At the meeting of the Rhoswydol and Bachieddon ad venturers the accounts showed -Mine cost for October, 1491. 88. Bd.; Nov. 1521. 75. 61.; balance due on previous account, 4751. 10s. B d.r-----7771, 6s. 10d.-Cash received on last call, 210/. 65.; ores sold, 1261. 15s. 10d.-leaving balance, 440/. 58.; which will be reduced by procerds from lead just sold 774 165., and arrears on calls 1431. 178., to 2181. 12s. A call of 2s. per share was made. The report from Captain Edward Davies, after detailing the operations in progress at the mine, stated that " the composition of th e l o d e i n Prosser's level has entirely changed during the past two months. The last cross-cut in the end of the level has intersected the com mencement of a course of orey ground ; the lode is 10 ft. wide, from north to south walls, and is subdivided by two branches or joints, which form the lode into three divi sions ; the central division is 5 feet wide, composed of capel, quartz, blende, and lead ore, the blende being in large solid masses, and the had from minute strings and spots up to lumps nearly 3 lbs. weight. On the north aide of the middle portion of the lode there is a great ' loch,' or vugh, filled with a goasany matter, chiefly oxide of iron, each aide of this loch having an incrustation of crystallised quartz. Evidently some mighty process is, or has been, going on in this one of nature's laboratories, and it is hoped that it will prove to be the mineralisation of the lode." At the end of October they shipped 6 tons 13 cwt. of lead, per the Sluice, and have now about 5 tons dressed. If the weather continue open, they will dress from 8 to 10 tons this month. The cost for December will be from 1201. to 1301., and which, it is expected, there will be sufficient lead dressed to meet. At the Dyfngwm Mining Company's meeting, on Wednesday, the report of the resident captain, with a supplemental statement, and the accounts, were read. The present account showed receipts and expenditure for the past four months, the agent having neglected to forward the accounts in due time for the pre vious meeting. From those then submitted, it appeared , that, during the past four mo n th s, t h e ores sold amounted to 1181. 4s. 9d.; in addition to which, the amount re ceived for calls was 663/. 75.=7811. 11s. 91; while the cost for the months ending Nov. amounted to 7141. 3s. Bd., and sundry payments, 23/. I Is. 10d. ; i n a ll 7371. 15s. 61, which, added t o the balance due on the former account of 239/. 12s. Id., gave a total of 9771. 7s. 7d , thus leaving a ba ante of 1951. 158.10 d., carried forward against the mine. The amount cf calls in arrear was stated to be 311. 165., and the assumed return from sale of ore, not included in the account, 634 At the 'i'relusback meeting, the accounts for Sept. and Oat. showed-Balance from last account, 1,057/. Os. Bd.; costs and merchants' bills, 539/. 18s. 7d.eed,596/. 19s. 3d. By call in October, 1,0241., leaving balance against the adventurers, 572/. 19s. 3d. At Pendarves Consols meeting, the accounts showed a balance against adventurers of 312/. as. 7d., on the operations of the preceding three months. The cost up to the end of Sept., including merchants' bills due, was 7931. 16s. 10d.; to which add balance at last account, 7531. 7s. 61-By cash on calls and ores sold, 1,2351.05.9 d.; leevreg balance as stated, in liquidation of which a call of 10s. per share as made. The report of Messrs. Riebards and Themes, read at the meeting, con tains no feature of peculiar interest. At the South Tamar Consols two-monthly meeting, the account shooed-Mine cost for September, 6361. 7s. 11d.; o..tober, 6341. 15s. 9d.; discount, 5/. 155.8 d. =1,276/. 19; 4d. By amount received in cash, and bill for ores sold, inclusive of balance of last account, 2,262/. 15s. 81.; leaving balance in favour of mine, 9851. 168. 4d. The balance of assets over liabilities is 1,4561. 13s. Id. The estimated payments before the next meeting are 1,479/. 3s. 3d.; and the value of ores to be sold this month is calculated at 1,3001. no accounts were passed. Two reports, from the ma naging agent, were read, stating that there is a great improvement in the 30 stn. level-the lode in the bottom being worth 20 to 25 cwts. of rich ore for silver. About 91) tons of ore will be supplied shortly. At the East Tamar meeting, the statement of accounts showed-Expenditure for the last two months, 1,1751. 17s. 91; by balance of last accoun t , 483 / . Bs. Id.; cash on account of call, 666/. 10s.-leaving balance against adventurers, 55/. 19s. 83. The estimated liabilities, in cluding payments for the next two months, amount to 1,467/. 18s. 4d.; while the estimated receipts during that period arc 2,9841. 193. lid.; leaving balance of assets over liabilities, 1,517/. Is. 7d. Reports from Mr. J. Wolferstan were read to the meeting, in which a gradual improvement of the lode at the 70 fathom level is no ticed; the other ends, and all the pitches being as pro ductive as before, while there is a pro s p ec t o f an in creasd quantity of ore, estimated at 70 tons, for the next tampling. The report read at the first West Providenoe meeting from the purser states that the steam-engine and pump ing machinery are in course of construction. It is ex pctcd that a quantity of silver-lead ore can be brought to surface when the war has been forked, and the indi cations generally are highly favourable for the prospects of the shareholders. The accounts presented at the Gustavus meeting showed a loss on the three months' operations to end of September of 1,272/. 15s. Bd. The labour cost and mer chants' bills were 1,380/. Iss. 3d.; balance of last ac count, 4071. Os. 5d.- - --1,7871. 15s. Bd. By cash on call, with materials sold, 5151.: leaving balance as above. It was resolved that a call be made pro rata in liquidation of the amount. In the report of Messrs. Richards and Dunkin the heavy balance against the adventurers is accounted for by the cost incurred in repairs of engine and other necessary expenses, which for the next twelve months will, it is estimated, be comparotively light. In other respects the report is satisfactory. At Trowan Consols meeting, the accounts for July, Aug., and Sept. showed—By ores sold (less dues), 390/. 12s. 5d ; call in Aug. 751. 10s. = 466/. 2s. sd. Balance from last account, 841. 9s. 6d.; costs and merchants' bills, 3751. 33. 459/. 13s. Id.; leaving balance, 6/. 9s. 41 At Chyprase Consols meeting, a series of resolutions was agreed to relative to the management of the mice, of which Capt. J. Mitchell was appointed agent—a com mittee was &so chosen. The report detailed the work ings since the commencement, stating that the engine shaft is now down 20 feet, and the sinking is still in progress, measures being in preparation for draining the mine. Capt. Mitchell states that " a more productive stratum of ground far mineral wealth he never met with," and sanguine expectations of success are entertained when the lodes are cut in the 20 fin. level. A purser and trustees were likewise appointed. Stares in the following mines have changed hands during the past week:—Bodmin Moor, Calstock United, Warlf.'ggan, Devon and Courtenay, Praed Consols, East Wheal Reath, Wheal Torn, Camborne Con sols, Tranuack United, Mill Pool, West Nant-y -tnwyn, Wheal Augusta, Ilennock, West Wheal Virgin, East Balleswidden, Cook's Kitchen, Tulcarne, West Alfred Consols, West Providence, Alfred Consols, Bed ford United, East Gunnis Lake, East Tamar Consols, Kirkcudbrightshire, Wheal Mary Ann, Trefusis, Tre lawny, Tremayne, Tregardock, Merllyn, South Tamer, West Tolgus, Black Craig, Wheal Prudence, Holmbush, Great Sheba, West Phee six, Daren, Fortescue, Peter Tavy, and Kingsott and Bedford.

PENNY BANKS.—These admirable institutions have already taken firm root in the metropolis, and are fast ex tending over the country. We regard them as schools, in which the peop!e ate taught the best practical lessons of fore thought and economy. They are the schools of temperance also, tor most of what is deposited there is rescued from the beershop. In Whitechapel, 8,000 depositors have presented themselves in less than nine months; and their united accu mulations amounted in that time to about 2,0001., or an ave• rage of ss. to each depositor. A small sum, truly; but, re member, it is only a beginning. The man who has once learnt to practise self-denial, and to economize, will be en. conraged to proceed, by the grateful feeling of satisfaction which it invariably yields. He will go forward, and his strength will grow. Every man will act in his sphere as a missionary of providence. Habits of forethought will thus extend through society, and all classes will, in course of time, experience its blessings and benefits.—Eliza Cook's Jour:sal, ROYAL COLLEGE or Suaoroxs.—At a meeting of the Council of this institution on Thursday the following members of the College were admitted Fellows, having un dergone the necessary examinatiuns on the 3d and sth inst.: —Messrs.
