Much interest has been excited at Manchester, the manufacturing metropolis of this mighty empire, by a series of lectures which Mr. JONATHAN DUNCAN, the clear-headed, intelligent, and indefatigable secre lary of the " National Currency Reform Association," recently delivered at the Mechanics' Institution of that town, on the all-important ques►ion to which he has devoted himself with so much zeal and assiduity for many years past. It is needless to say that in Mr. DUNCAN'S hands the subject was treated clearly and intelligibly, and that much sound information was conveyed to the audience, who listened with anxious attention to the salutary truths enunciated by the talented monetary reformer. It cannot be supposed that the people of Manches ter will long remain indifferent to the great problem, on the proper solution of which their own welfare and prosperity, in common with that of the great body of the industrious classes, so wholly depends. They have hitherto exercised an important influence on the great economical questions of the day, and they will surely arouse themselves from the state of quiescence into which they had fallen, or rather into which they had suffered themselves to be lulled by incompetent leaders. The establishment of free trade, the abolition of the pernicious monopoly which, under the- name of "pro tection," so long hung an incubus over the land, in creasing the price of food to the over-toiled artizan, and enervating the energies and sapping the prosperity of its warmest advocates—the sturdy yeomen of England—who suffered themselves to be seduced by its fatal blandishments, was owing to the shrewd, practical common sense, the vigorous action of the men of Manchester. That " great fact," the Anti-Corn-law League, sprung into existence and was nurtured among themselves, until it finally attained the gigantic proportions which enabled it to crush the monster monopoly. During their apprenticeship they learned how to conduct a peaceful agitation, to convey the voice of public opinion, temperately but firmly expressed, to the reluctant ears of the Legisla ture, and discovered that no merely human power could withstand the irresistible force of the popular will. Such persons may for a time be deceived, but they cannot long be kept in blissful ignorance. They may be misled by fallacies, but they will not continue blindfolded when accurate information is attainable, and in Mr. DUNCAN they have been so fortunate as to find a competent instructor, possessed of the highest qualifications for the task he has undertaken. The subjects selected by the talented lecturer were " labour, trade, and currency." He pointed out the intimate connexion between them, and proved that the employment of labopr, the briskness and activity of trade, depended on a currency adequate to the wants and exigencies of. the country—that a sufficient cir culating medium—a proper representative of value— was the very . life-blood of industry, the motive power which sets the wheels in action, and produces the de sired results. He lucidly explained the intolerable evils arising from our present unwise, impolitic, and inequitable. system, which is equally opposed by the principles of justice and of expediency, and he traced those evils to their very source and origin—the foul sink of " bullionism." The parrot-cry of " over-production," the specious fallacy put forward by the bullionists to shield their favourite theory from the reproaches of those who have suffered deeply and bitterly through its agency, was well commented upon by Mr. DUNCAN. " What," he asked, " was the definite meaning we attached to the preposition over,' when we used the term over production ?' As no one objected, to production,' the evil, if it existed, must be in the comparative significancy of the preposition. To say that there was production over' the natural desires and appe. tites, or wants, was absurd, and must remain so until history produced circumstances under which every man, woman, an I child had more to eat and clothe themselves with than their natural appetencies required. The only sense that could be given to the preposition was that mor3 gools were produced than there was metallic money to circulate, so that the production was over the quantity of money permitted by the Acts of 1819 and 1844 to be in circulation. The error, therefore, was clearly in bullionism itself, and not in the in lthtrial capacities of the human race." Mr. DUNCAN was right ; how could tEere have been " over-produc ion" when a large portion of the com munity where undergoing the most deplorable priva tions? Of what was the over production ? Was it I THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY of food ? Let the myriads of starving wretches who were unable to procure sufficient of the coarsest de scription of nutriment to alleviate the pangs of hunger reply ! Was it clothing ? How many of those scantily fed were even worse clad shivering in rage, scarcely sufficient for the purposes of decency, and quite inadequate to shelter and protect their wretched wearers from the inclemency of the weather ? It is cruel, nay more, it is impious to speak of " over-production" under such circum stances. There cannot be over-production so long as a single human want remains unsatisfied, so long as any man able and willing to work is unable to exchange his only capital, his labour, for a suffi ciency of the ordinary necessaries of life, and requires an additional supply of those articles which are said to be " produced" in excess. If there be a deficiency to eupply all demands some must abate in their re quirements, in order that all may have sufficient to sustain existence. The case is similar to that of a vessel in which there is a scarcity of provisions. The crew are placed upon what is termed " short allow ance," a necessity to which even the officers must sub mit. But what would be thought of the management if " short allowance " proved the rule and not the ex ception, if the sufferings of the crew were deliberately planned, and their lives endangered, in order to en hance the profits of the voyage, or to carry out some hobby of an influectial party in the management ? But this is what has been done by the framers of our monetary code. There is sufficient for all, but the measure is wanting. It is as if a municipal law were passed, by which no bread could be sold in the city of London unless it had been weighed at certain scales deposited at the Mansion-house. This would clearly be insufficient to weigh all the bread required for the wants of the community. A favoured few, who had priority over others, might think the law a good one because it in sured " full weight ;" but what would the multitude say who were compelled to enter into a scramble, and frequently to come away without procuring the ne cessary supplies F. .They could obtain an abundance at the shops of the bakers, if, not prevented from going there, directly, and they would speedily show their just indignation and compel a repeal of the obnoxious regulation. The man who endeavoured to show that the difficulty was ascribable to " over-production" on the part of the bakers, and not to the deficiency of accommodation provided by the civic authorities for the transfer of bread, would be " laughed to scorn." But such an argument is gravely put forward by the bullionists, and actually referred to and considered tenable by persons calling themselves statesmen and occupying high positions in the national councils. Mr. DUNCAN showed the punishment that followed aimilarz presumption in 1821 and 1826. In the for mer year the farmers petitioned Parliament for re lief for the agricultural distress, arising from the " excess of the harvest"—the distress being ascribed to " too great an abundance of food !" Within six short months the wail of agony was heard from the famine-stricken people of Ireland! After the panic of 1825 the manufacturing districts humbly besought the assistance they so urgently required, and were told that they had been guilty of " over-production" —that they had been too industrious, and would have been more prosperous had they exhibited more sloth and idleness. Within the same year the "cast off army clothing was sent down to cover the naked ness of the very people who were charged with th e sin of producing too much clothing." As Mr. DUN CAN truly remarks, " both these were cases of under production of money, and not of over-production of materials." THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The proceedings of the society of the 10th Decem ber have attracted the attention of General CHAN GARNIER and of AL CARLIER, the Prefect of Police, and its members are consequently strictly watched. Count Marx has, it iS said, joined M. DE SALVANDT in his attempt to bring about a reconciliation between the two branches of the Bourbon race. All the mem bers of the Orleans family will shortly assemble at Ostend, when they will be joined by M. DR SALVANDT, who Hill report progress. M. THIERS still declares his opinion that the only restoration of monarchy possible in France is in the person of the Count DE PARIS. M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN has written a long article in the Presse in favour of a revision of the Constitu tion, in which he recommends the abolition of the office of President, but at the same time admits that should the office not be abolished the re-election of Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE to the Presidency is certain. The Nepaulese ambassador, JUNG BAHADOOR, was at the opera on Wednesday night, and was so de lighted with the dancing of CERITO that he pro ceeded behind the scenes, and unclasping from ,his wrist a valuable diamond bracelet, presented it to the Deesse. The PRESIDENT arrived in Paris at half after eleven o'clock on Thursday night, by the Rouen Railway. The Prefect of Police and the Prefect of the Seine had gone to Bonnieres to meet him. All the villages and towns through which he passed on Thursday evening were illuminated. At Falaise his reception was enthusiastic, and he was obliged to ad dress the people from the balcony of the Hotel de Ville. At Argantan he was presented with an ad dress by the mayor and municipal council. We read in the Evenement :—" We are assured that MM. DUCHATEL and MONTALIVET are about to leave for Ostend, where the august widow of Louis PHILIPPE is to arrive to-morrow or Saturday, accom panied by the Duchess D'ORLEANS and her two sons, the Duke and Duchess DE NEMOURS, the Prince and Princess DE JOINVILLE, and the Duke and Duchess D' A.UMALE. King LEOPOLD bad, it is said, invited his mother-in-law to reside at Brussels, but the con sell de famille has decided otherwise, at least for the present, and all the family will remain for six weeks at Ostend, in the Hotel d'Allemagne, which has been prepared for their reception." The Patric says:—"The Queen of the BELGIANS, it is said, is in much more delicate health thin was supposed. Her malady is making such rapid pro gress that her medical attendants are seriously uneasy ; and it has been thought advisable by the King of the BELGIANS to send for Dr. CUOMEL, of Paris, the special medical attendant of the Orleans family. A letter to that effect arrived on Wednesday in Paris, and Dr. C.IIIOMEL set off the same night." We read in the Patrie :—" The news announced on Wednesday by the Journal des Debuts of the de parture of M. DE SALVANDY for Frohsdorff, where the Count DE CHAMBORD was ex pected, has been the subject of much conver sation. The most contradictory and the most exag gerated rumours have been disseminated. One of the most important men of the majority affirmed to us yesterday that there is nothing in this journey of M. DE SALVANDY but an act of refined propriety, which he is charged to accomplish between the two exiled families. Politics have nothing whatever to do with the journey. The follow ing, we are informed, is what has taken place : During the short visit which M. DE SALVANDY thought fit to make to Wiesbaden, he was with the Count DE CHAMBORD, when the news arrived o; the death of Louis PHILIPPE. M. DE SALVANDY was charged by the PRINCE to express from him to MARIE AMELIE his regret and sympathy for the misfortune which had fallen on her and her family. M. DE SALVANDY, in consequence, proceeded to Claremont to carry the simple compliments of condolence of the Count DE CHAMBORD to the widow of Louis PHILIPPE, and in exchange for that kind act on the p ar t o f th e P r i nce , M ARIE AME LIEin her turn charged M. DE SALVANDY to carr3 back to her nephew the expression of her thanks and sympathy. That is the whole explanation of the presence of M. DE SALVANDY on the road to Frohs dorff. There is nofhing more or less in the news of the Journal des Debats." The King of DENMARK has just sent to M. DE PER SIGNY the grand cross of Danebrog, on the occasion of the affairs of Schleswig. The Bulletin de Paris states that the speech of the PRESIDENT of the Republic at Caen was yesterday the subject of discussion by the permanent commis sion of the National Assembly, and that it was even proposed by the minority that the Assembly should be convoked to take it into consideration. This strange proposition, says the Bulletin, was imme diately rejected. At an extraordinary general meeting of the share• . holders of the Orleans to Bordeaux Railway Com pany, the question of accepting the law of August 6, 1650, by which the concession is prolonged from twenty-seven years and some days to fifty years, was brought forward for consideration. The meeting was a most numerous one, nearly 1,300 shareholders being present, representing upwards of 52,000 shares. After a most able state meil made by M. BENAT, one of the directors, in which he discussed the precise bearing of each of tht provisions of the law, the meeting, in accordancf with the opinion of the board of directors, decided unanimously, minus one voice, that it accelttd the law in question. nis decision was fullovved by loud applause.

There is no rest for the wicked ; no sooner was the arrival of HAYNAU at Cologne known than the people assembled for the purpose of " bettering the example" set them by the London draymen, and the " Austrian woman flogger" again owed his escape to the police, to whom he gave himself in charge, and who pro• tected him. The Emperor of AUSTRIA left Vienna on the 9th for Toplitz. Baron MAYENDORF, the new Russian Ambassador to Austria, has arrived at Vienna ; Count MEDEM, his predecessor, left the city on the 7th. The Frankfort Zeitung publishes the following from Cassel of the Bth : " Five persons have been arrested for having torn down the decree which declares the country in a state of siege. M. Heise, the editor of the Frelons, has escaped imprisonment by flight. The printing-office of the IV eta Gazette of Hesse is still occupied militarily, and the proprietor of the journal, M. Oetlecr, and M. Sheet, the printer, were threatened with imprison ment if they made the slightest resistance. This morning all the numbers of- this journal were seized. A complaint has been addressed to the Ministry on the subject, and it is expected that a civil action will be commenced. Last evening the permanent commission of the States addressed to the public prosecutor the fol lowing indictment against the Minister of State, M. de Hassenrflug, Major do Haynau, and Councillor do Baumbsch, in consequence of the decree of the Elector, which places the country in a state of war:—' The per manent commission sees in this decree a serious abuse of power, and considers it even as a crime of high trea son, according to the terms of the decree of 14th Fe bruary, 1795, considering that it bas for its object to do away with the organization and the constitution of the country. It has, in consequence, resolved to impeach the Ministers for a violation of Art. 61 of the Commis sion, and requests the public prosecutor to proceed con formably to paragraph 75 of the law of judicial organi zation, and to immediately arrest the accused: The public prosecutor then replied as follows: —"rhe public prosecutor recognises in the acts of the Ministers of which the permanent commission of the states complains, a violation of the constitution; but Ministers who violate the constitution cannot be inspeeched but by the states, and not by the permanent commission, and only before the high court. Consequeotly the demand of the con:- mission for the arrest and impeachment of the Ministers cannot be followed up.' A letter of the 9th says that although the public prosecutor has rejected the charge brought against the Ministers the Procurator-General has ordered the Ministers to be arrested. At Hanau the municipal council refused to publish the last decree of the Government." SWITZERLAND. The following letter has been published, addressed by the King of PRUSSIA to the inhabitants of Neuf chatel : " I. have received the numerous addresses, in which my faithful people in Neufchatel have chosen, in spite of all the difficulties of their present position, to express the grief they feel in contemplating the attempt of May 21. In thanking them fur this manifestation, I tale occasion to reiterate my firm resolution not to abandon, tut to re-estsch&h, as soon as circumstances shall permit, an authority which I have never exercised hut for the good of my principality. lam convinced that He who has protected me and lengthened my days will also help me to improve them by terminating the revolution which now oppresses you.

Accounts have teen received from Constantinople to the 24th ult. On the 22d the British Ambassador, Sir STRAT FORD CANNING, was admitted to a private audience by the SULTAN. He had the honour of submitting a letter from Queen VICTORIA announcing the birth of Prince ARTHUR. The Netherlands Minister, M MOLLERAS, was also presented to the SULTAN, and delivered two autograph letters from the King of the NETNERLHNDS—the first announcing the death of Prince MAURICE ; and the second containing the KING'S answer to a letter from the SULTAN, with WhiCh MEHEMET Au, Ambassador Extraordinary from the Porte to London, had been sent in a similar capacity to the Hague, for the purpose of congratu lating the KING on his accession. Several important changes have taken place in the administration of the ;provinces by au Imperial re script under date of the 20d1. Klemm PACHA has been appointed Governor of Koniah and Widdin, SELIM PACHA Governor of Cberzur, and Ilmmi PAcnA Governor of Rivandiz. From Bosnia we learn that OMER PACIIA, who is still in Sargjuvo, hrs published the firman of the Gran Vizier in the presence of the Bosnian Boyers. The firman orders that the tithes, hitherto levied by the landed proprietors for themselves, shall in future be paid by them into the public exchequer ; that the Spahis shall repair instantly to the army ; that there shall be a general conscription of the whole male popu lation, from the age of twelve to forty, without respect to creed or rank. ITALY. M. PINELLI, Envoy of the Court of Sardinia, has been admitted to It private audience by Cardinal AN TONELLI and by his Homyma. Nothing has tran spired as to the result of these conversations; but it is difficult to foresee an early solution to the deplo rable collision, so long as the Cabinet of Turin shall not make concessions on its starting poin t. The Court of Rome is offended, both by the nature of the Piedmontese reforms, and the manner in which they have been effected. It is too prudent not to resign itself to a concordat which would regularise such of those - innovations which seem to have become a necessity. But so long as an attempt shall be made to impose the concordat as an approbation of all that has been done, it is to be feared that it will accord nothing. The Ist battalion of Chasseurs a Pied leaVes to-morrow for Africa. The sanitary state of the army is little satisfactory. Summer, fevers are ra ging, but the mortality is almost null. The Nazionalc of Florence, of the sth inst., states that a modification of the Tuscan Cabinet was seri ously talked of. It was believed that M. CAPOQUADI, Minister of Grace and Justice, and M. MAZZ!, Mi nister of Ecclesiastical Affairs, would be replaced ; the first by M. NERvI, President of the Royal Court of Florence, or by the Prefect, M. SAMMINIATELI and the second by M. RANI, President of the Court of Cessation. Persons generally well informed believed that the constitution would likewise undergo some im portant modifications. The Nazionale invites the official organs to contradict those rumours, should they be unfounded. GRAND NATIONAL CONCERTS AT DER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—The committee are making the most strenuous efforts for the completion of the several arrangements for the opening of these musical reunions. The orchestra, under the direction of Balfe, will embrace 98 executants, seleoted from amongst the most distinguished instrumentalists in Europe. The ballet-music will be confided to M. Musard, and Herr Molique is to be the leader of the band. An engagement has been effected with the entire choral force of the King's Chapel at Berlin, which comprises 87 male voices. EXTENSION OF THE SOUTH WALES RAILWAY.-- The directors of the South Wales Railway, in reply to a memorial from the authorities and inhabitants of Haver fordwest, state that until the line between Chepstow and Gloucester is completed they will be precluded from taking any steps for a recommencement of the works westward of Swansea, and that this will depend on the disposal of the forfeited and unissued shares, which, if taken locally, would expedite the object. The town council, on the receipt of this communication, passed resolutions to the effect that after the promises made by the directors it was highly unsatisfac tory, as there was no understanding that shares were to be taken, and urging on the company the simultaneous prosecu tion of the line westward of Swansea, and should 'it not be done, pledging the cooperation of the inhabitants with the view of restraining the company from an expenditure of their capital contrary to the original promises and intentions of the promoters of the line.

The direction in which the accounts of the Bank of England were tending last week, had been preserved again up to the 7th inst., that is, the accemodation afforded upon securities was extended, without any larger amount of notes being in circulation, because of the addition made to the sum of the public deposits. The surplus profits of the corporation were larger, and the amount of the precious metals sustained a slight diminution. The balances of private depositors were reduced, and will probably be lower yet ere the transfer books re-open. The notes reserved in the banking de partment increased to some extent.

Insrector Howard ttated that never in his life had be seen two min devour more ravenously their food than did the prisoners last night, when some victulls was given them. Mr. HENRY—What do you say in answer to the charge? The prisoners—We have been seeking men, but being disabled, we are unable to go back again to the service, and for the last four or five weeks we have been literally starving. Unable to bear our state any longer, we determined on committing a robbery, as we wanted to be transported, and we are only sorry we were not successful in our attempt. Mr. HENRY committed them both for trial. RAILWAY COLLISION —On Wednesday evening last, a little before eight o'clock, a collision took place at the Black-lane station, on the Lancashire and Yoikshire Railway, under the following circumstances :—ln consequence of the Radcliffe races, special trains bad been running several days between the Bury and Black-lane statione, and at the time of the occurrence a train was at the Black-lane station, near to the race-ground, taking up passengers for Bury.: A goods' train proceeding from Bolton to Blue Pits came up before the other train could be moved out of the way, consequently a collision took place, which we are happy to say was unat tended by the loss of human life. When the train arrived at Bury many of the passengers were bleeding in consequence of injuries sustained by the violence of the shock; some had lost their hats, and ore person had fainted. Many of the passengers were under the influence of liquor, and the sta tion-ground for some time after presented a sad scene of con tention. We understand that the signal was properly ex hibited at the Black-lane station, and the engine -driver en deavoured to check the train, but could not do it effectually in sufficient time. The number of public-houses in Liverpool is 1,480, and of beer-shops 760, or in all 2,180. Taking the population at 850,000, this is one public-house or beer-shop to every 160 individuals, men, women, and children. Taking each family to amount to four persons, there is oue public house, or beer shop to every fo r ty adult males. - - COLLIERS' STRIKE AT ZIONKWEARMOITTH.- About three hundred of the hewers at Monkwearmouth col liery struck work on Monday. They allege, as the cause of this proceeding, that the owners had changed the mode of working the coal in 'a portion of the mine, to a system which is termed the Derbyshire Long-wall. The hewers had been paid at the rate of 9d. and 10d. per yard for wo r ki ng th e seam, the average price being 9d. ; but the owners had changed the mode of payment, viz., to pay the men by the score, which would be a reduction. Ten yards of coal make one score, which, at the average price of 9d. p er y ar d, wou ld be 7s. 6d per score; the men for blasting had Is. 6d., the fillers 2s. 6d., which amounted altogether to Ile. 6d. per score; and the owners wish to pay them for the same work 83. per score, and the workmen were to fill and blast the coal and find their own gunpowder, and be sAject to set out and lay out, which would amount to a reduction of every coal hewer's wages from 2s. to ls. 9d. per day. The strike is not yet terminated. An officer of a regiment in Ireland won largely on the last Derby, but could not ge t l eave f rom I reland; he commissioneda brother officer to settle his book at Tatter sall's, and, receiving a letter from a person (to whom he had lost 151.), concluded that his friend would pay, and took no notice of the letter. This party, in consequence, posted him at Tattersall's, and the comm an d er o f t h e di str i ct, h e a ring of it, compelled the officer to sell out. The officer has 30,0001. a year, and spent 9,0001. a year in the regiment, for his purse was ever open to the officers and men, and he is most deeply regretted by all the corps. —Freeman's Journal. FISHING EXPLOITS IN NOHWAY.—Our townsman, Mr, J. W. Lascelles, has recently returned from a fishing excursion in Norway. It appears he was occupied seventeen snccessive days, from the 27th June to the 16th July, fishing for salmon in the river Topdal ; he used the fly, and his pis catorial operations were continued from five in the morning until ten o'clock at night. The number of salmon caught was 175, weighing in the whole 2,1141b5. The weight of the largest was 321b5., and the least 71bs. On one of the days he caught 1711bs. weight, and on several other days 1501b5., 1551b5., 1621b5., and 1631b5. The river is now closed against English anglers.— Liverpool Mercury. iTo tell what a man says, pay attention to the tongue. To ascertain what he means, pay attention to the eye.

Tl3j3 HEIGHT OF IMEIIDENCE.—SOnIe time ago a fellow was charged in the Glasgow Police-court with steal ing a herring barrel from a person in Stockwell-street. After the charge bad been proved the principal accuser addressed them agistrate--:" Deed, Sir Bailie, the man at the bar is a great rogue ' • the stealing of the barrel is naething to c ome o f his tricks. He stole my sign• board last week, and what does your Honour think he did wi't ?" Magistrate," That would be hat .t 1 for me to say." " Wed, sir, I'll tell ye. He brought it into me own shop wi' my ain name on't, and offered to sell me't, sr he said he thought it. would Le o' mair use to" me than uoy body .
