The object of this Association is totally to abolish the use of climbing boys, who, notwithstanding the penalties to which those employing them are subjected by the 3d and 4th Victoria, cap. 85, are continually resorted to. This breach of the law is acquiesced in by a large portion of the public, from a conviction of the utterim possibility in innumerable cases of cleansing a chimney or flue with the old machine. For the laudable purpose of furthering the objects i of the law by avoiding all necessity for its infringement, the inge nious and effective Ramoneur machine has been invented. This invention consists of four brushes forming a square head, which by means of elastic springs contracts or expands, according to the small or extended, space in which the machine moves, thereby creating an even pressure on all four sides of a chimney. The rods attached to this head or brush are supplied at intervals with universal spring joints, capable of turning even a right angle and the whole is surmounted with a double revolving ball, having also a universal spring joint, which leads the brush with certainty. past every angle, and into every corner, cleansing its route most perfectly. The capabilities of this machine are best demonstrated by the fact, that it is exclusively used in the Government and numerous public offices, while the patronage bestowed by a large number of the nobility and gentry in continuing their annual con tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well as of the philanthropic views of the projectors. Detailed prospectuses may be obtained, and a working model of the machine seen, at the offices of the solicitor, F, Dolman, Esq., 39, Jermyn-street, St. James's; at Messrs. Barry and Co.'s, brokers, 7, Birehin-lane ; at W. Heath, Esq.'s, Nag's Head-court, Gracechurch-street; and at the principal office, 1, Wellington-street, London-bridge, Borough, where applications for shares may be addressed.

GRAVESEND, OCT. 21.—Very considerable excite ment has prevailed here during the past twenty-four hours, consequent on the death of a woman, named Mary Ann Pewter, under circumstances involving a grave case of suspicion against a man with whom she cohabited. The parties occupied an apartment in a miserable tenement in New-court, West-street, near the water side. Both were habitual drunkards, and between two 'and three o'clock yesterday afternoon they were quarrelling and fighting. The deceased at length fell heavily on the floor, and an alarm hav ing been given by the landlord of the house in which they resided, some of the neighbours ran up stairs and found the woman lying dead on the floor. The man, who had gone for a doctor, :was taken into custody on his return home, and this morning he was brought before the Mayor and bench of Magis trates on the charge of having caused the woman's death. He appeared miserably depressed, trembling violently. The Mayor directed that he might be furnished with a chair. The prisoner stated that his name was William kVilson ; that he was about 40 years of age ; that he followed the occupation of a labourer, and lived in New-court, Gravesend. Elizabeth Rose, wife of James Rose, labourer, said, I live at No. 2, New. court, exactly opposite to where the prisoner lodged. I knew the deceased, who lived with prisoner as his wife. Yesterday afternoon, between two and three o'clock, I was in my up stairs room making my beds, their room is exactly opposite that in which I was, and as both windows were up, and the court is only about five yards wide, I watched them fighting at intervals for nearly three quarters of an hour. Neither of them appeared per • tectly sober. The deceased was very violent, tore the prisoner's hair and made several kicks at him. The prisoner scuffled with her, tied slapped her face with his open hand. The dece..ee I called prisoner an_ old --, and other offensive names. The prisoner merely called upon her to be quiet. He said, I don't wish to harm you if you ‘s ill he Ttiet. The MAYOR—Had the -r anything in his hand at this time ? Witness—No, Sir ; not until j,k at the last. He then took up an umbrella, and holding it by the handle struck her with it across tie hack for two or three minutes. I saw no blow struck upon the head. The deceased made no offer to resent the blows from the umbrella, and while standing before the window I saw her suddenly disappear, as if from a blow. I gave no alarm, and did not go to render assistance until called by John Bridle, the landlord of the house in which the prisoner resided, who said he had a mur dered woman up stairs. W hen I got up into the pri soner's room, I saw deceased lyi , ) g on her side on the floor, with her knees bent up a little. I touched her hand, and found that she was dead. Frances Rose, daughter of the last witness, was next called.—She deposed to having been called up stairs by her mother to see the prisoner and deceased fighting. She corroborated generally the statement of her mother. She heard deceased tell the prisoner to pack up his things and go about his business; be thereupon took several things, and among them two umbrellas, and came down stairs and placed them against an empty house in the court. The deceased looked out of the window, and called to the prisoner to come up again, adding that "she was ready for him, and that she had not had it half enough yet," meaning, as witness supposed, the beating. Th e Pri soner then took one of the umbrellas, and, grinding his teeth, went up stairs again. I n a few moments witness heard bl ows , and the deceased cried out to the prisoner, " G o on, " you Th old --, for you have not e prisone r th en hit deceased again, and s h e f e ll heavily on the floor. Deceased pris oner cried out th a t s h e was fainting, and directly after wards witn ess saw the • ru n out of the house. half hu r t me yet E NGLAND to INDIA and AUSTRALIA.

Could the and its true s ource i n ever y instance disclosed, in how many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the prolific source of mischief, and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on :he nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of mere importance than the preservation of the health, and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. - In acting thus, he • forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his posse=sion of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LAWERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

She was quite dead. Witness saw no marks of external vio lence at that time which might account for death, but had since, in pursuance of the coron er ' s instruc tions, made a post mortem examination. He then dis covered several bruises en the arms and , le -8 , some old and some recent. There was one behind the left ear over the mastoid preco „ s , one on the left cheek, one over each eye, one on the right shoulder, and one on the middle of the back. Witness could not un dertake to say that either of these bruises would affect life. The majority of them were of no moment. On opening the abdomen, the whole- of the viscera, including the liver, &c., were found to be- perfectly healthy. The brain was very much congested, and at its base there was a large effusion of blood, which entirely surrounded the cerebellum ; this was the cause of death, producing apoplexy. The 1 extravasation was extensive, but this might have re • suited from natural causes, such as a violent shock, over, excitement, passion, drink, or undue exertion of any kind. Had it been the effect of a blow, some connexion between the external and internal injuries would certainly be traceable, whereas there is nothing in the post mortem appearances to lead me to the con clusion that blows given immediat el y before death occasioned th e extravasation. I n fine, he had no doubt that the deceased , died from apoplexy, but he could discover no sufficient post mortem appearances to enable him to say that it was produced by blows.

MONEY-MARKET and CITY NEWS. CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. TIIIES.—The condition of the English Funds during the ear l y part of the day was one of steady improvement, but the close of the 'market shows a heavy depression. The first price of Consols for money was 80 to I, whence, after a slight decline, they rapidly advanced, under the influence of conti nued purchases on the part of the public, to 80k. At this period two very considerable sales of stock for delivery on Monday took place, and the consequence was a sudden reaction at 79k, at which price they closed buyers. For the account they opened at 80t to advanced to 811-, and closed at 80i- to I. Gold to the further amount of 40,0001. was received at the Bank to-day from Amsterdam. The suspension of the Newcastle Union Joint- Stock Bank was announced this afternoon. The institution, it appears, opened at the usual hour to day, and business was continued till the arrival of the south mail, when the following was posted on the door:— " The Union Banking Company, in consequence of the difficulty in the obtaining discount, are under the painful necessity of suspending payment." Much excitement is said to prevail. The Union Bank was established eleven years back, with a paid-up ca pital of 152,4001., and not many months ago its shares, on which 5/. were paid, were quoted at 81. to 101. The number of partners is 505. An unfavourable liquidation is expected, large advances, it is alleged, having been made on collieries and other property of that description. As in the other cases of joint stock bank suspensions which have just occurred, its London agents (Messrs Barnett and Co.) are entirely untouched by the event. The result of the application of Mr. Littledale, of Liverpool, to the Bank of England, transpired after the meeting of the Court. The Bank have agreed to advance all that is required (a sum which it is said, exclusive of the acceptances of the firm held by the Bank, does not amount to more than 50,0001.) upon condition of sec ur ity b e i ng d e p os it e d t o the satis faction of the Bank solicitor. All question, therefore, as to the positio n o f th e h ouse ma y now b e considered to have been removed. The private letters from Liverpool this morning are generally more satisfactory, the intensity of the pressure having decidedly abated. From Manchester the accounts, on the whole, are rather remarkable from the absence of expressions of alarm. The inspectors appointed to carry out the liquida tion of the affairs of Messrs. Giles, Son, and Co. (whose failure took place on the 13th of August, and whose statement, showing a dividend of 12s. 6d. in the pound, was published on the 23d of September), have proceeded so far in the realisation of the as sets as to en a bl e th em t o d ec l are a first dividend of 6s. Bd. in the pound, payable on the l oth of November next. The advices to day by the Indian mail attracted considerable attention, as will be the case now on eac h arrival for m an y mont h s to come, owing to the critical way in which the liquidation of the failed East India houses in England will be affected by the state of the markets on that side. As far as they prospectively bear upon this point, the accounts by the present mail cannot be regarded as very satisfactory, since at the date of its departure active shipments were still taking place, especially of rice and sugar, which will be dis charged here upon markets depressed far below any anticipations that may have been formed. On the other hand, there is a general increase of firmness as re gards our manufactured goods both at Bombay and Cal cutta, as well as at Canton—a circumstance which, taken in connexion with the accounts by the last mail, may be held to indicate that the monotonous and almost hopeless decline which had so long pre vailed has at last been fairly arrested. The exchange also is rather more favourable, and the money market comparatively easy, with a prospect of much further improvement whenever it may be decided to close the Government loan. The accounts from the Amsterdam Bourse speak of the continuous fall in the value of Dutch Stock, owing to sales effected on behalf of English holders. Spanish had recovered in a slight degree, the specu lators lately manifesting a greater disposition to deal in those particular securities. CHRONICLE.—The Public Funds opened this morning with considerable firmness. A sudden de cline, however, took place towards the middle of the day, in consequence of a report that an eminent mer cantile house of Liverpool had been refused accom modation by the Bank of England. The circum stance attracted the more attention, inasmuch as the firm in question was believed to be able to show a condition of affairs which in any ordinary times would be deemed both prudent and satisfactory, and the inference was immediately drawn, that if assist ance was refused to such establishments, that others might as well close their doors without delay. The facts, however, turned out to be different from the general impression. The Bank has afforded the aid which was required, but in the shapeofConsols, which sold, partly for money and the remainder for ac count, caused the fall in the market by which the temporary panic was occasioned. The inability of the Bank to afford assistance in money to its ap plicants is the feature which will be the - most re marked on in this arrangement, but the peculiar position in which the directors are placed will afford a solution to the question. There can be no doubt that on the Bank is now thrown all the weight of demand for accommodation from the different branches of trade, and there has been evident the desire to assist all bona fide claimants to the utmost of its power. But the resources are limited, and with treble the means at its command, if a general distrust such as exists just now were prevalent, all the dis counts which could be given would only be so much more money, in the shape of notes payable on de mand, to be forthwith lodged- in the strong cellar of the banker, merchant, or frightened capitalist, as the case might happen to be. To-morrow night's Gazette will contain the state of the Bank's account up to Saturday last, and under ordinary circumstances, after the repayment of the large sums lent prior to the dividends becoming due, the publication would be expected to show a fair face and condition. But we cannot spend our money and have it. If the Bank is subject to a drain similar to that under which it has laboured for the last month, and yields to the demand, as in justice it should do, within the bounds of safety, we must make up our minds to the fact that the reserve of notes will be the item from which the advances have been made, and that, consequently, it is scarcely to be expected that the return will bear an improved aspect to-morrow. This, however, is in reality of little weight compared with the actual position of affairs. The storm seems gathering on every side, and each disaster threatens to bring increasing mischief in its train. AERONAUTICS. —Mr. Green, the English aeronaut, made his 174th ascent on Sunday last at Brussels, tak ing up with him an cfficer of the English navy, and M. Bischoffsheim, :son of the banker at Amsterdam. After floating in the air for about two hours, and having at tained the height of 2,500 yards, Mr. Green and his companions alighted safely on the plain outside the gates of Lierre. Oa the appearance of the balloon the com mandant of the station saluted it by hoisting the national flag, which the aeronauts returned by n eying the Eng lish and Belgian colours which they had with them. On the same day a M. Godard made an ascent from Lille. But his aerostatic apparatus was too econo mical, and, as it proved, dangerous ; for his balloon was of paper, and his car consisted only of a deal plank. Irf the ascent the balloon had several fissures made in it, and the gas escaped in largo volumes. After rising to about 40 yards it sank again, and was caught by a chimney. M. Godard was dragged along the roof of the holm., and struck on the head by the bricks forced from the chimney. At length, however, he was able to make his escape through a skylight, and got down to terra firma with only a few slight bruises, Three aero nautic ascents took place on the 17th at Bordeaux—two by M. Meyer and M. Beckmann, and a third by Madame Masse. The two gentlemen descended without accident near the town ; but the other balloon came down on the roof of the house occupied by M. Ezpeleta. By some chance the cords which connected the balloon to the car got cut across, dividing the apparatus in two parts. Fortunately the net-work of the car caught in the corner of the entablature of the house, and remained there suspended. The slightest movement would have urecipitated the whole to the ground, and the utmost .slang was felt for Madame Alasse's safety. Ladders were brought, but they proved too short, and she was obliged to remain in her very unenviable position for nearly ten minutes. At last longer ladders were pro cured, and she descended in safety, amidst the cheers of the spectators.— Galignanis Messenger. ESCAPE FROM PRISON IN JERSEY.—On Thursday afternoon between one and two o'clock, two porters took into the prison a new bureau bedstead, and brought out an old one, in which a debtor named Wake, son of Sir William Wake, was secreted. They carried their load into the heart of the town without exciting any sus picion, and the prisoner got clear off. He was not missed until the turnkey went to lock up his room, upon which, after every search had be en ma d e, information was given to Mr. Sullivan, chief clerk in the Viscount's office, about eleven o'clock at night. Wake escaped to St. Male by the steamer which left on Friday morning. —Jersey News.

What our .dogmati ca l currency reformers, Mr. Samuel Jones Loyd and Sir R. Peel, would now call ' artificial credit forced to excess,' was the foundation of this eminent banking firm, and we should like to see a return made to Parliament of the amount of ' pig upon bacon' bills drawn upon it from Lan cashire in every year from 1795 to 1847 inclusive." Mr. Duncan then proceeded to advocate the cause of the League, very much upon the same grounds as at the last meeting. No private motives influenced them ; the chairman was the only member of the council who was connected with trade; almost all the rest had devoted their lives to literature and to study, and therefore could have little to hope/for, as far as worldly wealth was concerned.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. CAPPS, the secretary, then announced that the annual subscription was reduced from 10s. to 2s. 6d. Mr. J. BELL having also addressed the meeting, Mr. J. TAYLOR briefly answered two questions which had been handed in at the last meeting. The first was, how far the plan of the League would pro tect proportionately parties who dealt in articles taxed respectively 25 per cent., 50 per cent., and 75 per cent. Now, the Government would take care to protect them all from unfair competition from abroad, and all that the League proposed was, that the amount of indirect taxation paid by the producer of an article should be added to its price; that, for instance, if a labourer paid 23. a day in taxation upon his pot of porter, he should have ls. more wages per week in consequence, and that his em ployer should add it to the price of the article pro duced.—(Hear, hear.) -The other question was, whether if the paper pound were composed of 205., and those shillings were deteriorated by wear and tear, it would not lose its value in proportion, just as was the case with that of 1695 ? True, the silver coin was corrupt, and the sovereign rose to be worth thirty of those shillings, and the paper pound was deteriorated; but the fact was, that the paper was allowed to accumulate in too great quantities; it reached 15 ,000,0001. of Government money, when taxation could not bring back much more than 5,000,000/. annually. Under the proposition of the League there would be no tendency to the deprecia tion of the pound, and the fractions would only he like counters, the pound itself' being th , .• legal tender. There was no reason to apprehend that the - pound itself would undergo any change in value at all. In 1696 Exchequer 51. notes without interest were issued, and afterwards 10/. notes, and they con stituted the common currency ; the Dank o f E ng l and had then no n o t e un d er 201. In 1741, as appeared by Horace Walpole's correspondence, Lord 'Walpole got an end put to these small Exchequer-bills, because of the trouble they gave him in auditing them ; and Horace Walpole, who had ten per cent. on the mate rials used in the manufacture of them, stated that he should lose 4001. a year by the alteration. The League would reintroduce these notes, and would allow the banks of issue to issue their notes, taking them up in the legal tender money of the State. The meeting terminated at half-past ten o'clock. THE CURRENCY QUESTION. The Anti-Gold-law League held a public meeting last night at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand, having earnestly invited the friends of monetary reform to attend. About 100 persons were present when the proceedings commenced, but the number subsequently increased to about 300. The gentlemen around the Chairman were, almost without exception, the same persons as at the last meeting. Mr. F. BENNOCH , Chairman of th e L eague, began the bu s i ness of the evening by explaining that at the meeting last Wednesday week, the council did not intend any disrespect to Mr. Owen in not listen ing to his observations, but had laid it down as a rule that no one should address the meeting but those ap pointed by the council previously. That council comprised men of various political parties, but they all agreed, that having free trade in corn , f ree t ra d e in gold had bec o m e indispensable. Our monetary system, in times of prosperity, forced out a quantity of notes and encouraged speculation, and then by the gold being withdrawn the note circulation must be contracted, discounts were refused, and dis tress ensued.—(Hear, hear.) The League laid it down that wheat at 455. and gold at 3/. 17s. 101 d. were at par, but as the one might rise, so ought the other.—(Hear, hear.) During the past year we had paid 8,000,0001. or 10,000,0001. of gold away for corn, the rest of the price being paid by our own produce; but this gold was not given away abso lutely, but given in exchange for corn, and supposing that corn not worth more than half its cost, still the country was not poorer by more than 4,000,0001. or 5,000,000/. ; and how could the abstraction of such "a drop in the bucket " be pretended to have brought about the present depression in a country whose esti mated wealth was 5,000,000,000/. ? So, then, to supply the loss of 5,000,000/. of gold, -or bring it back, the national debt had been reduced in value by 120,000,000/. in twelve months, railways 30,000,000/., and the other property of the kingdom (taking it at a loss of 10 per cent.) 300,000,000/. Yet was there a merchant present who would say his property had not been reduced more than 10 per cent. in the last twelve months ?—(Hear, hear.) Was there a builder who imagined he could dispose of his houses at a re duction of 10 per cent. F—(Elear, hear.) A large sugar-merchant at the east end of the town had men tioned that day that a friend of his had been obliged to submit to a loss of 120,0001. upon one lot of sugar —lO,OOO tons ; not because there was too much sugar, but because he was obliged to sacrifice his property in consequence of his being unable to get his bills discounted.—(Hear' hear.) He (th e Ch a i rman ) d i d not profess to b e a high and important commercial man, but he had some stake in the country ; through the firm to which he belonged, and which he had the pleasure of establishing some ten or twelve years ago, from 1,500 to 2,000 hands found weekly employment, and at least 3,500 to 4,000 people were dependent for their daily food through advices given by that firm weekly; the amount of wages paid averaged from 1,000/. to sometimes 2,0001. per week. Never, in his experience, did he see his way so clearly before him for a large and prosperous trade ; never were his firm, and the men with whom they were connected, in so excellent a condition ; never were the parties with whom he did the largest amount of his trade so well prepared to give him extensive orders ; nay, he had the orders, but such was the state of things in the commercial world, as regarded money, that he dare not advise the various manufacturers to proceed to the utmost extent, because, long before the goods or the bills drawn against them might be ready for the market, this tide of prosperity might hare turned to a disastrous shipwreck. Therefore he had to say, "Be prudent, be circumspect; instead of employing your men to the fullest extent, employ them pru dently only, and reduce them by half."--(Hear.) The Chairman then proceeded to explain at length the proposal of the League for the issue of 50,000,000/. of Exchequer -notes. Gold had always been a mis chievous thing to: play: tricks with.—(A laugh.) In the wilderness a calf was made of it ; but the destruc tion caused by the golden calf of the Israelites was as nothing to the sacrifices demanded by the molten image set up by Sir R. Peel.—(Laughter and cheers.) It was not so much the Bank that was to blame at present—of course they would charge high at such a time—they charged 9 per cent. that day—but Sir R. Peel and his Bills were responsible for the mischiefs. —(Hear.) But who was the man to meet this emer gency ? Not Lord J. Russell or Sir C. Wood— (Hisses)—the reply to the Liverpool deputation settled that.—(Hear.) To turn from them to those who were the authors of the objectionable law—there was no man who would be more fearless in proclaiming his error if he saw it than Samuel Jones Loyd, and he (the Chairman) thought that gentleman was already changing his mind.—(Hear.) Sir R. Peel depended upon him, and pinned himself to Mr. Loyd's opinion in drawing up this law. Either of them or both would be capable of carrying the re quired change. It would be to Sir R. Peel a great triumph were he to come forward and say, " All that I have to do is to alter an opinion expressed in my youth, to redeem the sins of my boyhood, and I cannot peacefully sink into the grave until I have done this last great act of justice."--(Laughter.) There would be something noble in that; his youth might have been passed in error, but it was a fine thing to see the hoary hairs of age silvered with dis cretion, and more especially if it was devoted to the benefit of the country.—(Laughter.) His own repu• tation , was as dust in the balance compared to that ; but, in truth, his coming forward to do so would make him the greatest man in this empire. He would do much towards gathering together a party that he had flung to the seven winds—(A laugh) —and he would win the lasting approbation of the commercial communityc--(Cheers.) Mr. J. DUNCAN would begin by noticing the various conspiracies which property had perpetrated upon labour. From the Conquest to the Restoration all taxation was direct, the revenue being raised, first, from the hereditary Crown lands, and, secondly, f rom the feudal due s or ren t s w hi c h the territorial proprie tors paid to the Crown for the possession of their lands it was not necessary to mention the trifling tonnage upon wine, and the poundage of 5 per cent. upon imported goods. Charles 11. was obliged to promise before he was restored to relieve the land from the payment of the feudal dues, and impose an Excise duty on beer. When William 111. came over he was required to give up the Crown lands, and from that time indirect taxation was resorted to.—(Hear, hear.) Pitt and his successors contracted a debt of perhaps 600,000,000/. in paper, a pound of which was worth 14s. or 15s. ; and the first act after the peace was to convert that debt into the same number of pounds in gold, worth 20s. each.--(Hear, hear.) Before persons railed against the League for trying to rob the public cre ditor, let them justify that flagrant robbery of the public debtor.—(Hear, hear.) A bonus was thus given to the lenders, though their property, equally with that of the landed proprietor, would have been sacrificed if a French army ,had landed.—(Hear, hear.) Large fortunes were made. Sir Robert Peel's father told him in the House of Commons that his Bill would double his own fortune, but ruin his country; and - when Sir R. Peel was thus told that his fortune was in the funds, his conduct must look suspicious.—(Hear, hear.) In the last week's Circular to Bankers the following curious statement was made : TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUZY SlR,—Without approving of the Liverpool demand of advances on merchandise being made by Govern ment, a general opinion seems to prevail that an order in Council authorising the Bank of England to issue two millions of paper beyond its present limit, would tend materially to restore confidence. This the Government might surely, with perfect safety and propriety, grant—fur it is only what all the London bankers, with one exception, requested as a clause in the Bill of 1844. . Though the 13ank would, in all probability, not require to make use of this authority, yet the fact of their possessing it would no doubt tend powerfully to allay the present panic. If this were accompanied by an announcement by all railway companies of their intention to suspend calls, a more satisfactory state of things might imme diately be brought about. I am, Sir, yours, &c., Cheltenham, Oct. 20. R. C. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—An issue of 21. and 3/. Bank of England notes would immediately displace a large amount of gold, now in the hands of the public uselessly, being in fact an inconvenience, and its return to the Bank would greatly strengthen the position of the latter. If objectionable against Covernment securities, or silver bullion, it could be made against gold and silver, and a great convenience would be obtained for the public, independently of the service to the Bank in the present emergency.

From the nature of the subject itself, as well as the brilliant reputation of the lecturer, the public are naturally led to anticipate a treat of no ordinary kind when they go to hear Mr. Buckingham. The favour able impression which he —in his former visit to Edin burgh—had left upon the minds -of many of our citizens, survived the long period of eighteen years, which has since then intervened, and we find an in terest and enthusiasm resuscitated, and a sympathy manifested for the personal losses and privations sus tained by this eminent philanthropist, in the course of his active life, which at once indicate and declare the hold he has upon the affections of those who are in the least acquainted with his character and travels. Mr. Buckingham is now in the downhill of life, but his appearance still bespeaks the indomitable energy and enterprise through which he has earned his fame. Mr. B. " broke ground" on Monday evening in the Waterloo Rooms, when a respectable audience were in attendance ; the subject being a description of Egypt. The character, manners, and usages of the people, the laws and productions of the country, toge ther with a description of the Nile, and the curious associations, fictitious and real, connected with the celebrated r i ver , were b ot h e l oquently, and in a fasci nating manner, related, eliciting throughout the warm be a better opportunity of acquiring c d o g u e l o d f t n h o e t approbati on o f an a tt en ti ve audie nce.

Mr. Buckingham delivered his second lec ture yesterday in the Hopetoun Rooms, when a large and fashionable audience were in attendance —Edin burgh Evening Post. THE MRS. HARRIS OF NATIONS. ---W e hear our contemporaries talk about the people of Spain. We do not believe that there is any such a people. Spain is the M rs. H arr i s o f nations. History, we are avi are, speaks of such a nation; but we have heard nothii g of it for above thirty years, when the Spaniards, with ots7 assistance, expelled the French from their territory. For aught that we can make out, Spain has now no pot Wi thin, except a few straggling inhabitants, and even of their existence we should be ignorant, did we not know that some of them, from time to time, are shut. The Napoleon of peace is now invading Spain unresisted. Would this be possible if there were any Spaniards? There is a Queen of Spain, certainly, and, by the last advices from MAricl, she bad a Ministry; but we sh , old be sorry to bet a shlling that she has one now. her Prime Minister is one week Salamanca, another, E,co sure, another, Pacheco, another.

" The revolting part of the subject is, that which relates to the personal position, in connexion with the existing money law, of the two men who mainly caused the infliction of all the ruin and misery under which the people are sinking. " Sir R. Peel and Mr. S. J. Loyd are two persons of enormous wealth produced by an excessive use of credit. On starting in life their fathers were poor men of great faculty, bold enterprise, and good con duct. They lived to be ranked among the most con spicuous millionaires' of.their country by what their sons would now call the unwholesome use of artificial credit. Sir R. Peel lived and carried on his works at Bury, in Lancashire ; he there issued 1/. notes to pay the wages of his workmen. He also established a warehouse in London for the sale of his goods, and on that warehouse he drew what were then known in Lancashire as pig upon bacon' bills, at two and three months date, to pay for the raw materials of his manufacture. He forced this credit to such a degree as for a time to doprive himself of the means of paying with punctuality the duties .in his calicos, and the officer ,of Excise held possession of his pre mises in Milk-street for six weeks for arrears of duties. , of anchester, " When M essrs. Jones and C o . commenced the b an ki ng business there,M they drew bills at two and three months date on some relatives of the same name, who, we believe, carried on their affairs in Watling -street. When that house retired from business, Jones and Co., of Manchester, opened an account with Vere and Co., bankers, in Lombard street, and the amount of bills drawn from Manchester on this account was so large and extraordinary as to alarm Vere and Co., who hastily resolved to refuse to accept them, and they were dishonoured for non. acceptance, Vere and Co. holding, we believe, all the time, ample security, in the shape. of Lancashire bills, for all that had been drawn upon them. In these circumstances Jones and:Co., of Manchester, being in a thriving condition, having a prosperous business, and being necessary to the trade of the district, on consulting their fri en d s an d cus t omers ho were called to deliberate on the case, were at once ' advised 6L S aturdayaborzl '-., eight o'clock, a rail mad :i i o n t g iv a e t wthheicshtay,ti.cans out ol of Lm Chapelle,its place, and ran off the rail,:.
