to make his remarks in a spirit of ill-feeling or per sonality. He held in his hand returns of the com pany's income at different periods, as f urnished by the secretary, and he forma that their averagi weekly income from October last was 721. Now the liberal system of advertising adopted by the board increased this income, by he February following, to the weekly average of 1121. In the month of March, when their advertisements were materially reduced, the average weekly income fell to 941. 13s. ; in April it fell to 741. ss. ; in May, to 56 /. ; and in June it had dropped off to 421., being just one-third of the average weekly income in the February prev i ous. By that time the directors became alarmed, and to check so remarkable a falling off of revenue they resorted to an extended system of advertising, by the end of June In July the effect was that the income -rose to 611. 16.. per week, and during the first three weeks of August last, for which they had the returns, it had increased to 681. a week. They might depend upon it that, by adopting a liberal system of advertising, in February, 1851, they would not only realize the weekly income of 1121. which they formerly derived, but a much larger sum. A company like that ought to be obtaining an income of 250/. a week at least, The CHAIRMAN explained that the conduct of the directors had been solely dictated by a desire to economise the funds of the company, but finding by experience that curtailing the advertisements did not answer, they had gone back to their previous scale of advertising the company. The chairman was then about to enter into some p'rsonal matter, relating to differences that had arisen between Mr. Stevens and the directors ; when Mr. CATTLEY thought that a discussion of such a nature as the present ought to be avoided. The shareholders had every confluence in the directors, who, as good men of business, bad tried to economise, but finding they were not successful they had altered their policy.—(Hear, hear.) The report and the statement of the accounts were after-some further discussion unanimously agreed to. Mr. Josien WansoN then proposed that the cordial thanks of the shareholders are due, and are hereby respectfully tendered to the board of directors for their able management of the affairs of the company, and also for their gratuitous services and devotion to the interests of the proprietors. He hoped by the next meeting they would be able to offer their direc tors a more substantial reward. Mr. JAMES NESBITT seconded the motion, and in doing so stated that, from the small experience he bad in travelling, he felt astonished at the readiness with which parties assured themselves at railway stations, when it was only stated to them what they were likely to receive from doing so. A case had cc curred to him of rather a singular nature. He was upon one occasion in a railway carriage, and was men tioning to his fellow-traveller the benefit of the Rail way Passengers' Company, when every one of them left the carriage and procured a ticket of the company, securing them through the whole journey. The motion was unanimously agreed to. Mr. CATTLET thought the proprietors ought not to separate without moving a vote of thanks to their ex cellent chairman. He considered that the share holders were greatly indebted to him for his gratui tous exertion., and be trusted that the time was not far distant when those exertions would be, he would not say amply, but at least in some measure rewarded. The meeting bad already carried unanimously a vote of thanks to their directors, and as the head of that direr ion was their chairman, he thought they could not do less than give a special vote of thanks to him for the unvarying course he had pursued for the be nefit and interest of the company. Mr. LEE STEVENS felt great pleasure in seconding the motion. He had given great trouble to the chairman in many respects, and as an act of justice he felt bound to say, that of all the public companies with which he had been connected he had never re ceived from the chairman of any of them more kind ness and polite attention than he had done from the present chairman.—(Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN, in returning thanks, assured the shareholders that the directors would, as they had hitherto done, give their most patient attention to the business of the company and the interest of the share holders, and all that he hoped was, that at the next meeting tkey would have a far more satisfactory re turn to make ; but he begged of the proprietors to feel assured that in making that statement he consi dered that the report and the statement of the ac counts that had been laid before them that day were highly satisfactory—(Hear, hear)—and that ere long the present company would be one of the most pros perous in the country .—(Hear, hear.) The meeting then broke up. ERA NEWSPAPER of SEPTEMBER 8 and 9 will contain a FELL and ORIGINAL REPORT of the RACE WEEK at WAP.W ECK.

Ax ECCENTRIC.—On the day on which Louis Philippe died there departed this life, in the rue Rousselet Saint Germain, a singular old lady, formerly an Ursuline nun, known as Sister Marie. She was born in Corsica, on the 15th of-August, 1769, the same day as Napoleon, and all her life she entertained a fervent admiration for her great countryman. At an early age she entered a convent, but when religious houses were broken up, in 1793, she returnA to the world. She becdme gov , rnesS in a noble family, and they allowed her a pension of 2,000 f. a year. On this, having no taste for a convmit life, she lived, but out of respect to her previous vows she remained strictly alone. For between 40 and 50 years she lived in the same apartment; and there she had collected iOO or 300 birds, which she tended with the greatest 'cT.re. The shutters of her "apartment were al ways kept closed and barred. Every morning sbe went to attend mass in cliurch of the Missions E:rargeres, and, on her rortirn, bought her stock of daily provisions. She was never known to, make a longer journey, except on the ncca-: aion of ins futeral of Nopoleon, when, notwithstanding her advanced age, she followed his remains on foot from Neuilly to the Invalides. A EYSIDLE PROP: - SAL.—A " local preacher," who once said " be didn't like church parsons, because they was book-larnt," .was rccuitly conducting a religious service, and on opening the Bible unti.rtnuately stumbled upon a chapter almost full of Turd, proper names.

The Loris' Committee on the commercial distress having shown the unexampled fluctuatir ns in the rate of interest that followed the Act of 1844, as explained in our impression of yesterday, considered the causes to which these violent alternations were attributable. When the directors were considered responsible for their issues, they never under any circumstances reduced the rate of discount below four per cent., although " there were occasions wb•en the value of money on approved bills was only 21 per cent. in the money market." The result of thi, system, accord ing to Mr. HORSLEY PALMER, WAS to "check that fall in the rate of discount, when already low, which the active competition of the Bank of England must have produced, and, on the other hand, to check the ten dency upwards which would have been the result of a reduction in the number of lenders, and ef a consequent scarcity of money. In the one case the Bank was kept out of the discount market, in the other it oh tained almost the command of the mark.-t. In both eases the effi et vies to produce steadiness and dimi nish fluctuaehm." This salutary rule was, however, abandoned in September, 1844. Immediately after ti e Act received the Itoyal Assent, the Bank of Er gland being " given to understand, 'that it had nothing to do with the circulation," and that it was to look at the banking account alone, at once reduced its rate below the 4 per cent. that had been its lowest charge during all former times, and entered into an active competi tion with the bill-brokers of Lombard-street. It no longer preserved a uniform price, but announced a minimum rate, which was varied according to circum stances, in fact it descended from its elevated position as a great national establishment to a private concern, the object of which was to obtain the highest profits for its shareholders. The effect of this proceeding was necessarily to diminish materially the value of money, which in the latter end of 1844 was, accord ing to Mr. GEORGE CARR GLYN, "lower than in any year within his recollection, as low as 1 per cent." This extreme depreciation he very fairly attributed " to the operations of the Bank of England in the money market." " The railway expenditure" has been by many blamed as one of the chief causes of the crisis. We do not agree in that opinion, for as we have already shown, that expenditure, whatever effect it might have produced on individuals, could not have affected the national prosperity. It sent no money out of the country. It was merely a transfer from one pocket to another, which gave increased employment to a large number of persons, and pro vided additional facilities for traffic and intercourse, the advantages of which to the community in general have never been controverted or denied, except, we believe, by the Hon. and Gallant Colonel the Member for Lincoln. But let those who have so loudly com plained of railways go back a little further, inquire into the causes that produced that mania, and ascer tain whether the Act of 1844 was nut in a great degree the cause of the excitement. Let the Lords' Committee answer. They say—" The effect of a low rate of interest could not fail to give a great addi tional stimulus to speculation of all kinds. It could not but have augmented the facility of forming joint• stock companies for railroads and other purposes. In the former cases it so acted the more (factually, as the Bank of late adopted u practice of investting its capital in railway se curities. The sum of 2;481,0001 was so invested, and these securities seem by the Bank to have been substituted for the floating debt of the country. In 1844 the greatest investments of this kind took place, and yet the Governor and Deputy- Governor could not perceive the beams in their own eyes, although they so clearly discerned the motes in their neighbour,' when, in describing the causes of the commercial distress, they informed the Committee, "one cause of it is that many of those parties have been dealing in railway shares." It is true that they may draw a dis tinction between the dealing in railway shares and the debentures purchased by the Bank, but, as the Committee justly remark, " it is evident that the purchase of these securities by the Bank must have given a high sanction and an effective stimulus to those very undertakings which the Committee find afterwards referred to Frequently during the last fortnight we have re ceived communications of a very violent character relating to the rumoured intention of General HAYNAU to visit this country. Our correspondents have, we must acknowledge very naturally, expressed their feelings of abhorrence for that Austrain soldier whose atrocities had desolated the homes and hearths of Hungary. Nevertheless, while recognising the justice of these sentiments of execration towards an individual so infamous by his cruelties, we have scrupu lously refrained of late from publishing any such letters—remembering that it is the peculiar glory of England to display her hospitility indiscriminately to all foreigners without respect to their political reputation. A distinction, no doubt, might be reasonably drawn be tween the position of such persons as come amongst us in the character of bankrupt fugitives and such as obtrude themselves upon our notice as merely curiou s visitants, the one provoking criticism by the audacity of their approach, the other protected as it were by the panoply of their misfortunes. Yet while such a comparison might reasonably authorise the com munity to articulate in some manner their detesta tion of any great political criminal, without in any respect derogating from the fame of these islands as the refuge of all foreign unfortunates—we are sa tisfied that a contemptuous and scornful indifference would be more consonant with the national dignity, and would be more expressive of the national loath ing, than the most vituperative attacks, or the most opprobrious demonstrations. Such, however, is the notoriety of the German officer before mentioned, such is the abomination in which his career is held by the people of Great Britain, so odious are his acts, so villanous is his celebrity, so detestable and sinis ter are his illustrations—that on his first appearance in the streets of this capital the feelings of the popu lation proved to be altogether irrepressible. The desperate attack made yesterday upon General HAYNALT, on the occa'ion of his visit to a brewery in Bankside, proves the inten sity of that hatred which he has awakened to wards himself in the bosoms of all classes of English men by his dastardly and ferocious treatment of the heroes and patriots of Hungary. At the mere sound of his detested name the whole of the working popu team of the locality " turned out" together, dray men and labourers, porters, coalbeavers, and scavengers, the whole of the motley sections of the industrious multitude flung aside their occupations on the instant, and rushed out en masse in pursuit of the object of their execrations. The movement was altogether without premeditation, and hence its remarkable significance. It was the sudden out burst of that enthusiasm which has been aggregating strength to itself now for a considerable period. It was the utterance of sentiments as ardent as they have been long suppressed. It was an abrupt and spontaneous token of the sympathy with which the masses of the English community have all along re garded the valorous struggle of the Hungarians, and of the silent horror with which they have watched the brutalities exercised over that illustrious race by their Austrian conquerors. Had the renowned KOSSUTH, the ex-Dictator of the Magyars, appeared among the labouring men of Bankside, instead of the cruel and pitiless HAYNAV, we are satisfied that the former would have received an ovation as earnest and vociferous as the onslaught upon the latter was furious and energetic. The British multitude are presumed by many to be in attentive to the movements taking place in foreign countries, and to regard the efforts at emancipation with a crass and stolid indifference. The outbreak yesterday on the Surrey side of the river declares loudly to the contrary. It was maintained, more over, for a long time that of those who at all took into account the course of events on the continent, the vast majority had their hopes concentred upon the cause of the Viennese Government. The assertion has often been reprobated and derided by ourselves. Here, however, is its refutation. In these outrages which, considering that he was a stranger on our shores, we regret should have been committed on the person of General 'away, may be discerned the in• tensity of feeling with which the English multitude have sympathised with the Hungarians, and have loathed with the most utter abhorrence the crimes and atrocities of the Austrian Government. Here is a testimony, and it must be confess( d a rather " striking " one too, of the truth of our oft-repeated assertion, that the real sentiments of the English people are expressed in the foreign policy of Lord Yeeataaston. That any foreigner whatsoever should have met with such treatment in the streets of our metropolis we cannot but think, as members of a civilized age and of a civilized country, to be a matter of poignant sorrow however execrable bis conduct may have been, and however irre trievable the infamies he has perpetrated. Lynch law at all times we regard as more than merely un justifiable, as being, indeed, in itself an absolute atrocity—especially and peculiarly so when it hap pens to be employed towards a foreigner. To our thinking, in fact, the lex talionis is alone suitable to a race of bat barians. Be-ides which, the sacred laws of hospitality should never, under any circumstances, be summarily violated, not even for the purpose of indicating the detestation of great offences, committed in the face of heaven against the supreme laws of GOD and of humanity. Fur these reasons it is that we cannot but deplore tie desperate atteck tnteh. yester day upon General 'herein b 3 the people ef Bank side ; although, at the same time, in eaten uation o+' the conduct of the multitude, it must be coefessed that scarcely ever before has the popular fhry been provoked by more horrible or more preternatural atrocities. If the Desolator of Hungary is solicitous to escape henceforth from the recurrence• of such scenes as that -which yesterday filled him A rith panic and covered him with ignominy, we would re ommend him to retire from England into the ignoble obscurity which is alone m• lculated to protect him from the brand of civic vengeance. Let him withdraw at I teast for a while from the B.lsre of the public scrutiny,, :and there among the causes of the commercial distress." The fluctuation in the value of money may thus be clearly ' traced to the Act of 1844, and Mr. COBDEN, in 1840, when in toe full vigour of his intellect, b4ore his head was turned by excessive vanity, and before he had resigned himself to the delusive absurdities of tke Peace Congress, declared, in speaking of the far less violent fluctuations that had previously occurred —" I . beheve great evils have been occasioned to the trade and manufactures of the country, in 1836 and 1837, and the subsequent period, by fluctuations in the currency—greater evils, pecuniary, social, and moral—than by the direct failures of all the banks of is , tri since they were first established in this country." And yet that very RICHARD COBDEN, eight years afterwards, gave what may almost be considered a casting vote in fa vour of a law that enormously increased these al • ternations, that rendered money when plentiful much cheaper, decreased the rate of interest, and thus sti mulated the wild excitement and speculation which necessarily led to a reaction, and .. then increased the rates of discount so enormously as to transfer the profits of those merchants and manufacturers who were so fortunate as to escape total ruin into the pockets of the capitalists, who lay by watching the favourable opportunity. ciple and a truth, although the whole world should be armed against it. " A nation may," he says, " adopt or not adopt the principle of legitinip.cy, as it is free to decide the question of its form of government; hut if the nation believes that it ought to return to the here. ditary and traditional principle for sake of its security, then the popular sanction cannot be called upon to recogniie or certify that right. What one vote might do ano her vote might undo, and thus the changing law of majorities would open the way to adventures and dangers. In e, there are things which cannot and ought not to be discus-ed. A debate on the sub ject of an appeal to the people is dangerous." This is a complete disavowal by the Count of CHAMBOBD of M. DB LABOCHEJAQUELIN and his M.. lowers. than the demand for some of the body of Douaniers for this purpose.

DESPERATE AlrAt K UPON UENERAL HAYNAU. _ Yesterday morning, shortly before twelve o'clock, three foreigners, one of when was very old and wore long mous.tachies, presented themselves at the brewery ef Messrs. Barclay and Company, for the purpose of inspecting the establishment. According to the re gular practice of visitors they were requested to sign their names in a book in the office., after which they crossed the yard with one of the clerks. On inspect ing the visitors' kook the clerks discovered that one of the parties was no other than Marshal Haynau, the late commander of the Austrian forces during the attack upon the unfortunate Hungarians. It became known all over the brewery in less than two minutes, and brfore the General and his compa nions had crossed the yard nearly all the labourers and dreymen ran out with brooms and dirt, shouting out " Down with the Austrian butcher," and other epithets of rather en alarming nature to the Marshal. A number of the men gathered round the Marshal as be was viewing the large vat, and continued their hostile manifestations. The Marshal being made ac quainted by one of the persons who accompanied him, of the feeling prevailing against him, immediately prepared to retire. But this was not so easily done. The attack was commenced by dropping a truss of straw upon his head as he passed through one of the lower rooms; after which grain and missiles of every kind that came to hand were freely bestowed upon him. The men next struck his hat over his eyes, and hustled him from all directions. leis elothes were torn off his back. One of the men seizsd him by the beard, and tried to cut it off. The marshal's companions were treated with c qual vio lence. They, however, defended themselves man fully, and succeeded in reaching the outside of the building. Here there were assembled about .500 per sons, consisting of the brewer's men, coal-heavers, &c., the presence of the obnoxious visitor having be come known in the vicinity. No sooner had tha Marshal made his appearance outside the gates than he was surrounded, pelted, struck with every avail able missile, and even dragged along by his moustache, which afforded ample facilities to his assailants, from its excessive length, it reaching nearly down to his shoulders. Still battling with his assailants, he ran in a frantic manner along Baukside until he came to the George public-house, when finding the doors open he rushed in and proceeded up stairs into one of the bedrooms, to the utter astonish ment of Mrs. Benfield, the landlady, who soon dis covered his name and the reason of his entering the house. The furious mob rushed in after him, threat ening to do for the "Austrian butcher ;" but, for tunately for him, the house is very old-fashioned,and contains a vast number of doors, which were all forced open, except the room in which the Marshal was concealed. The mob had increased at that time to several hundreds, and from their excited state Mrs. Benfield became alarmed about her own pro perty as well as the Marshal's life. She accordingly dispatched a messenger to the Southwark police station for the assistance of the police, and in a short time Inspector Squires arrived at the George with a number of police, and with great difficulty dispersed the mob and got the Marshal out of the house. A that .de police galley was at t he w harf at the time, into which he was taken, and rowed towards Somerset-house, amidst the shouts and execrations of the mob. Messrs. i a a t r t s a h c k.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The following is the official account of the depar ture of the PRESIDENT tor Cherbourg : "The President of the Republic took his departure yesterday morning about halt•past nine for Evreux, on his way to Cherbourg. He was accompanied in his tra velling carriage by the Minister of the Interior, and the Prefects of the Seine and of Police. Four other car riages followed, containing the Ministers of Justice, of Foreign Affairs, and of Marine, M. de Nieuwerkercpre. the orderly officers of the President, Dr. Conneau, M. Mucquart, the chef de cabinet of the President, the aides-decamp of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs and of Marine, anti the Secretary of the Minister of Justice. General Excelmans was on horseback by the side of the President's carriage. Generals Changarnier, Pyat, and Canrubert, and the Ministers of War, Public Works, Commerce, and Public Instruction, came to bid the President adieu. Commandant Fleury preceded in a cloise-de-poae the President by about an hour. As tt e travelling party drove off the crowd on the outside of the Ely: oft," cried, ' 'Jive Napoleon t The prefects of police and of the Seine accompanied the President to the limits of the department. The President was to ar rive at about hall-past one at Meulan, near which place M. Baroche has a country house. The President was to stop there fur a short time, having agreed to partake of a collatkn provided by the Minister. The President will stay three days in Cherbourg, in place of two. In consequence, he will not be back in Paris until the 13th, instead of the 12th, as first stated. The Princess Ma thilde de Demiduff, the President's cousin, is to proceed to Cherbourg, and will be present at the greed ball which that town is to offer him. " M. Rancher will continue, during his journey with the President, to sign papers as before. M. Mauroy, his chef de cabinet, is charged to send him every day all such papers of his own department, and of that of Public Instruction, as may require his signature." Intelligence has been received of the arrival of the PRESIDENT at Evreux, at six o'clock on Tuesday evening. He was well received by the people. The National notices as a significant fact, that whenever a telegraphic dispatch announces that any of the Councils-General of Departments have agreed to resolutions in favour of the revision of the Consti tution, it is published in the llioniteur ; but that when the announcement is that no such resolution has been come to, it is not published. The Bonapartists, how ever, are not quite at their ease in regard to these resolutions ; it is true that resolutions have been come to in the majority of instances in favour of the revi sion of the Constitution, but it is equally true that in the majority of instances the res o lution go e s o n t o express a wish that the revision should take place in a legal manner, a species of revision to which the most ardent Republican dues not olject; while in only three instances has any resolution teen adopted in favour of a prolongation o f th e powers o f t h e PRESIDII%T.

FEARFUL ACCIDENT IN THE WATERLOO-ROAD.— This forenoon, shortly before nine o'clock, a party, consisting of two men and a female, were returning home from Barnet fair i❑ a four-wheel chaise, along the Waterloo-road, Lam beth, when, owing to the unskilfulness of the driver, through intoxication, he was unable to maintain the least command over the animal, and the moment it had cleared the York road, it dashed down the public thoroughfare at a furious rate. A young woman was knocked down near the Hero of Waterloo inn, and a man with a barrow laden with fruit had his stock in trade spoiled by the chaise overturning his barrow. The cabmen on the Waterloo-road rank were obliged to remove their vehicles to the opposite side of the road to prevent the drunken party from driving against them. The driver at length pulled the reins of the animal so tight on the near-side, as to pull it on to the pavement at the entrance of the Water loo-road terminus, when the chaise struck the lamp post at the gate, which it shivered. At the same instant the persons in the chaise were pitched out by the force of the collision. The horse continued to dash along the Waterloo road until he reached the front of the Victoria Theatre, when he was stopped. The parties who were thrown out of the chaise were taken to Mr. Brooke's surgery, in the Waterloo road, when it was found that the head of one was severely cut. The wounds having been dressed, the two men and the chaise were removed to Tower-street Police-station, both men beieg so drunk as to be incapable of taking care of themselves. One is named Jesse Pitt, living at 88, Corn wall•road, and the other is named William Waite, and resides at 3, Flask-row, Pimlico. The female escaped uninjured. The interest of an old debt is often paid in bad language.-- Eliza Cook's Journal. CAUTION To Tini PUBLIC.—The following notice to the public has been issued by order of the Postmaster- General, which,;it is to be hoped, will be generally adopted : As it is not safe to transmit letters containing coin through the post, persons having occasion to remit small sums are earnestly recommended to make use of the Money Order office. Money orders for sums not exceeding 51. are granted and paid,in every post town in the United Kingdom, and 4 the principal receiving-houses in London. Persons who may desire to remit bank notes or draughts payable to bearer, or other valuable property, may register the letter on payment of a tee of 6d. in addition to the postage. In the case of bank notes or bank post bills being sent, the numbers, dates, and amount should be carefully taken; and the safest course will be to cut such notes, &c., in halt; sending e..ch bait by a separa e post. With the great convenience thus afforded for sending sums at so low a charge, and the poser given of registering letters, it is to be hoped the public will in all cases in future avail themselves of these methods." The Douglas Mill, belonging to Messrs. Gilroy, at Dundee, was destoyed by fir , on Tuesday morning. N o thi ng but the bare walls remaui. Workmen are engaged in forming new walks in the Green-park, in consequence of the imp rovements in front of Buckingham-place. A portion of the ride up Constitution hill will be curtailed, and the railings carritd back into the park. One of the walks form a mall between some flue trees, and seats will be on each side.

The markr.t eh.cd ht avily with a downward tendency.—The Share Market was F.teady. These is a public sale in the Market this morning of rifined sugAr from Holland, very unusual here. The letters by the steamer Pacific, from the Unit‘d States, were delivered this morning. The accounts given of the state cf trade are encouraging, and the Ca- Ilion:ia intelligence is excellent. The idlowing are some r. marks concerning the pro ceedings of our ships of war, off the Brazilian coast, made by an American writer : " In c , rnmentieg upon all this, we are very well aware of the diffieultit a in the way of a just judgment with re spect to the vessels destroyed. The coast of Brszd.has harboured so many notoriously bad charact.rs—has been engaged in such a system of piratical adventure upon a pi mon of the world—and has given so many evidences of cruelty against the African race. that vessels are sus cted—snd v. ry properly too—of being engaged in the illegal slay- trade. Under these circuinstanct 5, to dis eliminate between the honest merchant vessels and il.e pirates, is a matter much more difficult than a stranger w(.uld be led to suppose. Where there is a gre't chance for ungodly gain artifice is most niast, rly in its inge• nuity, defying even lynx-eyed authority, and the speed of the armed marine.

Consols have been 964 for transier 4 and 96k to k for account. The forei g n intelligeece has not been of a character to in fluence the quotations. Fur the New Three- Quarter per Cents the rates have been 981 to 99k, and for the Three per Cents. 97 to k. Exchequer-bills have been marked 655. to 675,, and India Bonds 84s. to 87s. premium. The feature in the Foreign market was a rise in Mexican Stock, upon the publication of the details of the plan drawn up by the Committee of Congress. The outline was made known some time since under this head, and the great hope of something tangible arising from it is, that the recently installed Finance Minister acted on the Committee, and being responsible for its suggestions, is bound to use every exertion to carry them out. Probably his hands will be atrengthentd by the presence of M. Falconnet as the agent of the bondholders, and the obtainment of a portion of the indemnity money is clearly a matter worth battling for, while it will be of the utmost impor • tance to settle definitively what amount shall be paid out of the next instalment. We have had, and still en tertain, apprehensions that the temptation to replenish ttie Mexican treasury will be so great as to prove almost irresistible, it it be nearly as exhausted as is represented, but perseverance on the part of M Falconnet, and the assistance cf the British Ambassador, may go far to ensure at least a penis' pay ment. The Bonds opened at 30, but have wen done since at 291 1 because, in reality, the details have been an ticipated. Ilse accounts of July 27 from Mexico, received this moreing, state that the canvass for the Presidency was pr••gressing rapidly. Spanish bondsare rather heave, the Five per Cents. having been done at 191 ie The Passive are at 4k, end the Three per Cents, at 37k. It would appear that there are many Passive holders who by no means like the proposed settlement if their claims, but really we think tney will consult their own interest 1y acquiescing. One party writes us that the new plan involves " a direct ereach of faith with the eassive holders, insist; much as at the previous meeting it distinctly pledged itself to claim an amelioration of the terms offered Senor Murillo in an equal ratio for both Active and Pas sive Bonds alike. Baron Rothschild, the then chairman and a member of the committee, after giving the above assurance, to prevent the possibility of any misunder standing in this respect, iiluttrated his meaning in the following terms:—' Assuming that by the Spanish scheme Active Bonds would be worth 20 and the Pas sives 5, then for every 41. additional which we shall claim fir the former, we shall demand 11. for the latter.' In what way has this pledge been redeemed? By the scheme referred to 350/. Passives would have been equi valent in value to 1001. Active, together with arrears of interest thereon, whereas by the plan proposed by the committee the latter would be worth 450/. Passives; and when a gentleman then present proposed such a modification thereof as wonld have made it more consistent with the pledge before given by the committee, the latter did nut hesitate to oppose it and to procure its rejection by the majority of those present." We would simply remark upon this that Spanish finance questions are to be judged of by no rule that would apply to other countries. There seems an impos - sibility of obtaining lull justice, and therefore the natural inquiry is, will not the bondholders act wisely to accept a compromise, even at a great sacrifice, for the sake of an uniform arrangement. Even taking the terms as proposed, the Passive stock muse rise in the market, should toe Government at Madrid acquiesce. • Portugue-e Fur ter Cent Bonds have been 334 to 34, and Brazilian lather flatter else at 91k.

The follovviug is the text of the dispatch in which the British GovernmEnt solicited the intervention of Prussia, in order to prevent the renewal of hostili ties in the Duchies, and also the answer thereto of M. DE SCULEINITZ, the Prussian Minister of Foreign Affairs : THE MINISTER CF FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF GREAT BRITAIN TO HENRY HOWARD, CHARGE DES AFFAIRES ()F THE BRITISH LEGATION AT BERLIN. "Foreign-office, July 31. Sir,—l have the honour to invite you to draw the serious and urgent attention of the Prussian Govern went to the fact that immediately after the signing of a treaty of peace, conclud e d w i t h De nm a r k by P russ i a , acting not only in its own name , but in the name of the whole Germanic Confederation, the Lieu tenancy which now governs Holstein, issued orders to the Holstein army to invade Schleswig, and in thus acting committed au act of hostility and aggression, in violation of the peace which, according to the engagements ef Prussia, the whole Germanic Confederation were bound to preserve. It would be dis respectful to the Prussian Government to suppose that the engagement entered into by it should be allowed to be a mere nullity, and to have no practical result; and that Holstein, which forms tart of the Germanic Con• federation, and which as such ought to be bound by the engagements ttccepted by Prussia, should, notwithstand ing such engagements, be free to recommence hostilitio-, which were suspended during the armistice. The regard due to the goad faili of diplomatic engagements appears in consequence to exact that the PrusbDal Government should employ, Without deisy, all the means in its power, with the view of inducing the present Government of Holstein to respect the engagement that Prussia has conertx . e.l in the name of llolsteir, as well as in the name of all the other members of the Germanic Con federation. The Government of her Britannic Majesty sincerely and arde,.tly hopes that Prussia will thus *xi, and prevent, in an effective and definitive manner, the Holstein Government from again making the conclusion of a peace the signal or pretext for a renewal of war. " I have the honour, &c., (Signed) " PALMERSTr.N." THE PRUSSIAN MINISTER OF F OREIGN AFFAIRS TO THE COUNT (~F PERPoNCLIER, CHARGE DES AFFAIRES OF PRUSSIA AT LOND , N. " The British Chargb des Affaires, Mr. Howard, has communicated to me a dispatch from the British Fo reign Secretary of State, of which I send you a copy. You will therein see that the British Secretary of State xpresses an opinion that the Government of the King should use all the means in his power with the General Lieutenancy in order to induce it to cease from hostili ties, which he qualifies as a violation of the treaty of the 2d of July. The Government of the King wtllinglt renders full and en ire justice to the lively desire of the Secretary f Sate for the cessation - of the effu sien of blood in the Duchies, and the re-establishment of peace; it sincerely participates in these views, and be heves it has often e isen proof, by its acts, of its senti ments in this respect. But, the Govern m e n t mus t, i n the first place re mai k, that it possesses no other me anti of rendering its influence of avail beyond g iving it s ad vice to the two parties in question, since it is tint ate ho• rised to exercise any other means over an a u th or ity es tablished by the onlede . ratien Ilolsteln. It could not have the right before the ratification of the p , ace by the Confederation to render the General Lieutenancy responsible for its violation; and eve n a ter tho ratifies teal it could only act in the name and af ter th e s p ec i a l delegation of the Confederation. The Government sincerely regrets that such ratifi cation has not taken place before, but it has a right to suppose that it is not utiknoan to the Secretary ef State that the difficulties which have been oppos e d hith er to to the ratification have not arisen the contrary, they have originated elsewh ere; t h at t h e y eith p, us ,j a; that, on are the consequences of a state of thi ngs f ore i gn to th e question, sine that Prussia has done all in her power, and with a certain degree of personal abnegation, to remove those difficulties. " The Government of the King could not, then, in Holstein, wh.n in a body of troops s a u ti c il h ior in i t e ,av al t i i n o t i e l ry m en iL ti h o t n by re r rc e e a s a u r p e p ly or t te h d is is not wh at t h e B r iti s h proportioned to the forces in the Duchies, the by an army of more spirit Secretary a h te wa i ds uld require of Pr uss i a. B ut i n any ate 3 0 0 . f OO t O w , f men; h S ic t event Prussia must negative, with all her energy, any ob ligation to interfere in the Duchies —a n obligatien that is sought to be deduced from the treaty. The simple reading of the treaty proves . that Prussia never entered into such an engagement; it is on this account, there fore, that we have been surprised to see this treaty quoted in the dispatch of Lord Palmerston. No one knows better than the mediating power, that a simple peace has been expressly concluded by the two parties, with the understanding that events were to be left to their free course, and to abandon to the will of the two parties the settlement of all matters in di s put e b e tween the Duchies and their sovereign, taking into account that they might even have recourse to arm,. P russ i a wou ld show herself then, unfaithful to her enga gem ents it' she undertook an intervention in either eensea This mode of looking at the question, Waft the text of the treaty justifies in the moot undoubted- manner, is besides that of another contracting party, Den mark having taken nu step indicating in the most distant manner that she considered Prussia obliged to oppose by force the resumption of hostilities. The Go vernment of the King must leave to the Confederation to take ulterior measures, if, from the nature of things, as well as in observance of the treaty of peace, events might occur that would call in gib-snot] its rights or its duties. The Government of the King prejudges nothing upon this point; it must reserve the d e cision thereof to i the Contederationself. You will treaty state to the British Secretary of State this position of the Govern ment of the King when you rcad to him this dispatch, and assure him that the Government of the King not only partakes in the wish to see these differences, but that he will endeavour, by every means in his power, to accomplish this wish in f avour o f the patties by concilia tory mesas.—Accr.pt, &c., (Signee) " DE SCHLEINITZ."
