The most pleasing and effectual specific for this desirable object is ROWLANDS' KALYDOR, so deservedly established In Royal and public favour and estimation. Its application neutralises the effects of atmosphere, and induces that healthy action of the minute secretory vessels of the skin, by which its delicacy and beauty are so essentially promoted. Freckles, Tan, Spots, Pimples, and Discolourations are eradicated by the application of the Kalydor, and give place to a healthy clearness and trans parency of complexion. Ladies travelling or taking ut-door exer cise will find it diffuse a grateful and refreshing feeling, dispelling the cloud of langour and relaxation, allaying all heat and irritability, and immediately affording the pleasing sensation attending restored elasticity and healthful state of the skin. In cases of sun-burn, stings of insects, or incidental inflammation, its virtues have long and extensively been acknowledged.—Price 4s. 6d. and Bs. 6d. per bottle.

A special meeting of this company was held yesterday at Chester, for the purpose of taking into consideration the proposal of the Great Western Company for amal gamation on terms which are calculated as equivalent to 4 per cent. There was a very full attendance of share holders. Mr. John Williams presided. The Secretary having read the memorandum of agree ment with the Great Western Board, which has already been published, The CHAIRMAN commenced by remarking that they were met to discuss the very important question—how the Shrewsbury and Chester Company was hereafter to be disposed of. After referring to the traffic and other agreements with the Great Western Company in the year 1851, he said that the question they had now to discuss was, whether they would accept the terms now offered to them. He wished the shareholders, however, to understand that the original agreement with the Great Western Company had not been abandoned. That company held that that agreement was binding, and they reserved to themselves the right, should th ere be any departure from it, to take such steps as they should be advised to adopt. But for the sake of the present discussion, he thought that the best thing for them to do would be to discuss the proposed amalgama tion as if nothing had happened before ; not at all ad mitting that they were not bound by what had been done on a former occasion. Then, how did the matter stand ? The shareholders individually in the company might look at their interests as they thought proper ; but the directors must look at the interests of the com pany and the public as a whole, and advise the share holders to take such steps as they might consider for the best. He must frankly tell the meeting that, if the directors as individuals followed their own interest, they would be the advocates of an alliance with the London and North-Western Company, because, strange as it might seem, the 12 directors had great interests in the London and North-Western Company, and none in the Great Western. He believed there was not one of them whose private interests would not lead him to an alliance with the London and North-Western Company. (Hear, hear.) Actuated, however, by a desire to con sult the public interests, asd not their own private inte rests, the board was unanimous in recommending to the shareholders a Great Western alliance. (Hear, and cheers.) Let them look at the present state of things. He had had some difficulty in making out what was the nature of the offer which had been made to them by the London and North-Western Company. Mr. GORDON THOMPBON.—Name the offer before you comment upon it. (Cries of " Chair, chair !" and " Order, order !") I only wish you to name the offer of the London and North-Western Company. The CHAIRMAN, in continuation, referred to a circular written on the sth of September inst. by Mr. Stewart, the secretary of the London and North-Western Com pany, which was to the effect that the London and North-Western board were ready to concur with the Shrewsbury and Chester Company, in the next session of Parliament, in seeking to obtain a bill securing to the Shrewsbury and Chester Company 4 1 per cent. I order to carry out this arrangement, the London and North- Western Company undertook to introduce a bill into Parliament to lease the Shrewsbury and Chester Rail way upon such terms as should enable them to pay the Shrewsbury and Chester 44 per cent. If that was the offer, it came rather singularly after the report of Mr. Cardwell's committee, which recommended that no working arrangements with other companies should be sanctioned, except for limited periods. If that commit tee's report was to be acted upon, what became of the lease in perpetuity which was involved in the London and North-Western Company's proposal ? The report of Mr. Cardwell's committee also stated that no amal gamations should be sanctioned except in the case of small companies, or in special cases ; unless, therefore, there was something in the proposal of the London and North-Western Company which came within the scope of this report, the proposal was absurd. The chairman then, at considerable length, explained the proposals of the Great Western Company, and having reviewed that of the London and North-Western Company, he ex pressed, on the part of the board, their decided prefer. ence for the Great Western alliance, stating that, al though the London and North-Western offered them 4 . i per cent., the security for it was bad, and that on public grounds, as well as for the interests of the share holders, it was desirable to amalgamate with the Great Western Company. He concluded by proposing the following resolution : "That the memorandum of terms proposed for the amalgamation of this company with the Great Western Railway Company, together with the supplemental arti cle now read to the meeting, be and they are hereby ac cepted and ratified, and that an extended agreement be forthwith prepared and executed under the common seal of this company, containing all usual and proper cove nants, the same to be settled and approved between the companies by counsel to be mutually selected for that purpose. That the directors be and they are hereby empowered and required to do all further acts which may be necessary for giving effect to the objects of the said agreement, and to apply to Parliament for a bill for sanctioning the amalgamation upon the terms herein approved." Mr. HAsWELL seconded the motion. Sir W. JOHNSTON, of Edinburgh, opposed the motion at great length, and concluded by proposing an amend ment, to the effect that no offer from any company be considered until after the half-yearly general meeting. Mr. KENNEDY, of London, seconded the amendment. A long discussion ensued, after which, on a show of hands, the original motion was carried. On the motion of Mr. GORDON 'THOMSON, a poll was demanded, and, Mr. Lowe and Mr. Kennedy having been appointed scrutineers, the meeting was adjourned to 7 o'clock. At seven o'clock there was a majority of above 3,500 in favour of the chairman's motion. The official decla ration is to be made on the 14th. 0 half D - ON yearly DE R R meetingY Thee N of f D th E is co NNl m S p li a l n L y L w E as N. held y e sterday at the offices, Coleman-street-buil din g s, Moorgate-street, Mr. G. Tyrrell in the chair. Mr. HEMMING, the secretary, read the report, which stated that an additional section of the railway, namely, from Oina,gh to Fintona, was opened on the 15th of June last, making 41 miles open for traffic. Haying due regard for public safety, and considering the accom modation required for conducting the trade of the com pany, the directors felt that upon a railway 60 miles in length, it became imperative on them to provide ample facilities for the crossing of trains. As the best means of effecting this object they determined to convert the middle 10 miles, namely, from Newton Stewart to Omagh, into a double line, and the works necessary for this purpose have been completed, and the second line of rails has been examined and approved by the Govern ment inspector. The works upon the 19 miles from Fintona to Enniskillen are actively progressing, and the directors look confidently for the opening to Ennis killen before the close of the present year. The bill authorizing the construction of a railway from Ennis- killen to Sligo has passed into law. The construction of the Sligo line must be productive of beneficial effects on the railway, of which it is a direct continuation, opening up to it the town of Sligo, the cattle-producing districts of Roscommon, and the rich mineral fields of the county of Leitrim, in which mining operations for it coal and iron are now to a large extent successfully car- 1 ried on. An act has been obtained by another company for the construction of a railway connecting Lough Foyle with Lough Swilly, by which the produce of the' immense district of the country lying along the shores of Lough Swilly, and the more distant parts of the county of Donegal, will be collected and drawn to Londonderry. The Londonderry and Coleraine Railway was opened throughout on the 18th of July last. The beautiful character of the scenery along the line, the facilities for --='-' sea-bathing which it affords, and its proximity to the THE BODY OF A MAN FOUND IN A POND.—Up to Giant's Causeway, have already attracted to it the at- Sunday last the wife and friends of a man named tention of tourists and pleasure-seekers.

This Company is formed to carry out upon a more extensive scale the very valuable patented and other inventions connected with the production of light. Commercial undertakings are the best of any calculated to prosper, for while there is a certain restriction upon the income of railways and other speculations of the same kind, there Is no bound to the to which commerce can be carried. The improvements introduced by the patentee in connexion with lamps and lighting in general. consist in the production of the ver tical, diamond, pearl, and other lamps of the most perfect construc tion for his country, surpassing all British and foreign manufac tures ; a complete set of lamps for India and the colonies, and patent gas bur ern, which, for illuminating power, are unapproached, and exhibit principles in s , .iience never before brought into practice in the production of light fr.an coal gas. The estimated value of the articles connected with the production of light annually sold in the United Kingdom, and the manufacture and salt ot which will engage he atteiAion of the Company, is about 3 000,000/. And assuming that 100,000/. only of this trade falls into the Company's hands (an xtremely low estimate), the Directors, after the most careful calculation, are sitisfled that at least 20 per cent. per annum will be insured to the shareholders. The cApital of the Company Rill become immediately reproductive in the extJision of its manufactures—the present returns exceeding 20,000/. per annum , and a dividend will be payable to the share holders at the end of the first six months. The eminent success attendant upon the adoption of commercial undei takings similar to the present, such as gas companies, Price's Patent candle C o pany, which last year paid a divid Iper cent., an d carried m 4,2291. 5s bd. to the reserv , fund, end and of others, afford a strong guarantee for the successful operation of this Com pany.

The reduction of fares on the Greenock line has fully realised the ex pectations of the directors, the receipts having exceeded by 3,5001. those of the corresponding period of last year. A. good deal of siding and other accommodation has been provided ; but much remains to be done to meet the requirements of the growing traffic, and it has been found necessary to sanction a further expendi ture of about 45,0001. for terminal and other important stations. The most considerable' of these will be at the Carstairs junction, where the traffic converges from all points. Additional plant has been placed upon the line at a cost of 26,000/., and more is being supplied, but the traffic increases so rapidly that the greatest exertions are re quired to keep pace with it. A five years' cartage agree ment has been entered into with Messrs. Pickford and Co., of London, and Mr. G. Gordon, of Glasgow which is calculated to effect a considerable saving of expense. All the renewals of debentures during the half-year have been effected at 34 per cent. By the settlement of the disputes with the Dundee and Perth and Glasgow General Terminus Companies are terminated all law suits which have been pending between the Caledonian and other railway companies. The management and workings of the Caledonian and Edinburgh and Glasgow Railways are now in the hands of one set of officers, directed by a joint committee of the two boards, and the experience already gained warrants every confidence in the alliance as a beneficial measure for both concerns. The works of the Lesmahagow branches have been contracted for, and the short branch to the town of Lanark is rapidly approachin • g completion ; both these railways will be worked by the company on fair terms. A bill for extending the Barrhead line to Crofthead, for buildings at the Glasgow terminus, and for funding the deben ture debt has been passed into law. The report of the manager stated that during the summer additional accommodation for the increasing traffic has been pro vided at upwards of 40 stations. The number of miles run by trains during the half-year was 1,069,561, of which 470 . 438 miles were run with passenger trains, 306,551 with goods trains, and 292,572 miles with mine ral trains. The average cost for locomotive power was 7.69 d. per mile run, and, including carriage and waggon expenditure, 9.86 d. per mile. The number of engines in steam has been 72. The average number of passen ger engines in working order has been 59, repairing 8 ; renewing, 6 ; total, 73. The number of good engines in working order has been 46, and repairing, 11 ; total, 57. The number of carriages per train, 7.12, and of goods waggons, 26.33. The capital account shows that 7,671,1881. had been received, and 7,657,8541. expended, including 319,9511. in shares of other lines, leaving a balance of 13,3341. The revenue account for the half year ending 31st of July shows that 245,2171. had been received and 107,6951. expended, leaving 137,5221., out of which is deducted 4,5661. rents and feu duties, 44,8781. interest, and 42,2361. guaranteed dividends, leaving 45,439/. CITY COURT OF SEWERS. Yesterday the Court met for the first time since the holidays for the dispatch of business. The medical officer read the following report, which had been drawn up by himself. " According to the desire of the commission, I have inquired into certain nuisances complained of in connec tion with the altered system of slaughtering in Newgate market. It appears that in consequence of the suppres sion of slaughtering cellars within the City, there has been a greater demand, especially in this locality, for other slaughtering places, and many or those persons who own registered slaughter houses in Newgate-market have been induced to share these with the displaced slaughterers. In consequence of this hospitality, the amount of slaughtering in particular premises has in creased very considerably, and such premises have, in fact, assumed altogether the character of public slaugh ter-houses, where, on many days, slaughtering goes on continuously, For this purpose they are absolutely un suited, in respect of their dimensions and ventilation, so that neighbours who had patiently tolerated the previ ous system have raised loud objections against the re cent aggravation of the nuisance. It appears that in 22 slaughtering places of this locality there are slaugh tered annually about 141,800 animals, and, to measure the evil accurately, it must be remembered that this slaughtering comes unequally in different houses, and on different days. Thus, for instance, in one particular slaughter-house, which is much complained of by its neighbours, there have been killed 250 animals in a day and the ventillation of this place can only be effected through a sort of shaft, 12 feet wide, which is bounded on the south side by the backs of those houses in Pater noster-row. These houses, accordingly, cannot but re ceive the entire effluvia of the shambles, and the inmates naturally complain of this as an extreme nuisance and injury. On other occasions I have stated to your hon ourable Court my opinion of slaughtering-honses gene rally, in its relation to the health and cleanliness of the city, and I therefore confine myself now to what is dis tinctive and peculiar in the case under your notice. " It seems to me that whatever evils inevitably belong to intramural slaughtering are aggravated to the utmost degree when unlimited license of slaughtering is con ceded to premises with defective accommodation, walled in on all sides by high inhabited houses ; and I would accordingly recommend that your solicitor's opinion be taken as to the best mode of framing and enforcing some regulation which may abate the nuisance, by restricting the employment of every slaughtering-house to the bond fide personal uses of its registered proprietor. " Your inspector of slaughter-houses likewise reports that there are great inconveniences in the present ar rangements for the removal of blood and offal, which re moval, he repeats, he has now allowed (contrary to the first order of your honourable court, subsequently re scinded) to take place at any and all hours of the day. This frequent, or rather continuous removal of offensive material, is not only a nuisance to the neighbours, in respect of its stink, but likewise, I am informed, inter feres with the business of the market ; and I would re commend that your regulation relating to the removal of refuse matter be reconsidered, with a view to remedy ing these evils. " The principles for such regulation would seem to be —first, that the removal should take place at as early an hour after the completion of slaughtering as can pos sibly be, without inconvenience to the public. Secondly, that by employment of a sufficient number of hands, the entire clearance of the locality should be effected as ra pidly as possible. And thirdly, that it should be com pleted at a sufficiently early hour in the evening for the inspector to be able at times to visit the premises, and ascertain their freedom from all offensive matters. " From such inquiry as I have been able to make on the subject, it appears to me that three hours would prove amply sufficient for the purpose of clearing away all refuse matter from all the slaughtering places of the locality, and that the hours from eight to eleven p.m l c a a t s i e n n o f a y s o r h honourable s C t e o d u , r f t n a r p p roving restricting an would be a convenient and suitabl e ti me .

" Of course the details of such regulations require to be adapted very carefully to each other, and to the ne cessities of the trade. And perhaps your honourable Court will refer these particulars to the consideration of one of your committees. " I deeply regret to apprise your honourable Court, as an ample justification of whatever strictness you may think it requisite to apply in sanitary regulations, that at the present time there is great reason to apprehend a renewed visitation of Asiatic cholera through the country, and I have already received official information of the disease prevailing in an epidemic form at New castle-on-Tyne." Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said that although the con cluding paragraph of the report rather tended to alarm, yet he hoped that there were no sufficient grounds to anticipate the existence of cholera in this country, at all events in the City. The sub ject -matter of the report was one of the greatest importance ; but before the Court could deal with an evil of so great a magnitude, ample provision must be made for slaughtering in another place. In a few minutes some members of the Court, him self included, intended visiting the site of the new market, where conven i en t and suitable houses would be erected for slaughtering cattle, and when completed, which he hoped would be at no distant period, the Court would be in a position to take the most efficient measures to get rid of the nuisance com plained of in the report. He thought it of great im portance, with a view of mitigating the existing evil, that registered owners of houses who allowed non registered owners and others to slaughter in them should be made amenable to the law, as suggested by the medical officer. Mr. ELLIOTT said that, in his judgment, the whole city of London ought to be grateful to Mr. Simon for his very able report, and moved that it be referred to the General Purposes Committee, to consider the best means of carrying out the excel lent recommendations contained in it. The motion having been seconded by Mr. Deputy CHRISTIE, was carried unanimously. It was unanimously decided that Gracechurch street should be paved with wood, under Mr. Carey's patent, after which the Court adjourned. (/(/ • • ><D 4 ( /7 bill- brokers do t a h:, me.

But the being paid in gold instead of being paid in goods. There is another feature in these transactions whfoh ought not to pass unnoticed. Russia and Germany, from whom we receive our chief supplies of foreign corn, have made no liberal concessions to us in a spirit of recipro city ; they now manufacture for themselves on an ex tended scale, and will only take, speaking generally, gold for wheat, so that the drain from those quarters will not be readily stopped in times of scarcity. But the whole subject merits a more comprehensive survey. Taking the whole world as a market, England sella_more goods than it buys, so that the balance of trade is really in favour at all times, and if every transaction were im mediately and finally adjusted, the balance of gold would always be in its favour ; but this is net the ease, for England gives credit to the whole world, and receive. none ; it is in this stage of advances that she feels thi fi dr o a o i d n, ti b d u e t i w t orneestoofretimwhe what the for ebb ili tid d e ue has seag° car n r t i h ed ° away. In the interval, however, danger presses and the crash comes. Now this is what is called undus.vesu lation, or over-trading—a vague expression, wh quires a careful scrutiny and a rigid examination. There are clearly two senses in which it may be understood, as we interpret the word " over ;" it may be over the wants of consumers, in which case the producers are clearly to blame, and the remedy is in their own hands ; or it may be over the means of the Bank to take up its notes in gold; but this is not a cas e o f over -production or over trading, but moat clearly one of the under production of the legal tender instrument of exchange. To suppose that trade can be steady, while the sole instrument by which it can be carried on is in a state of violent fluc tuation, is ridiculous i he or itt nment suppose that it proportionately itcancontinu ously expand, unless ex pands, is equally ridiculous. We have seen that our exports in 1832 were 86,000,0001.; that in 1852 they were 78,000,0001.; and that we may expect them this with discovery , additional year to reach 98,000,000 1 . One of the , causes of this great increase is clearly the Ca lifornian a nd Australian e d vir t h e e d B o a n n o k t to s a ay was t the e m th a e rk et soles cause, but it had its power in conjunction with the adop tionw hi c which notes. ena b of freer principles of commerce. That discovery enlarged the metallic basis of the currency, and enabled it to sustain a wider and a loftier superstruc ture. Money is to trade what water is to ships , and as the depth of the river must increase with the tonnage of the vessel to prevent its being stranded, so must money be augmented with the magnitude of trade. We hold this proposition to be universally true, though perfectly aware that velocity of circulation may in some cases compensate for contraction of volume ; but that speciality or exception is beyond the main point we are now desirous of urging. It has been shown that trade has increased in a greater proportionate ratio than the supplies of gold that com paring our command ov er th e precious metals with the exports of 1832 and the exports of 1842, we had no greater monied facilities in the latter year than in the former ; that an impediment has already interposed itself, which may fix our exports at about eighty millions, while they have a tendency to rise indefinitely, as other nations and our own colonies improve their industry, and increase their exchangeable wealth ; the main question therefore is, how can this impediment be removed ? We answer, by putting gold at its market price, and estab lishing a monetary system of small Exchequer-bills for the whole of our internal trade. Thus we should econo mise the use of bullion ; it would only have one func tion to discharge instead of two, and the home trade would not be periodically deranged to get back gold from the foreigner. We should hear no more of the fallacies of over-production and over-trading ; the rate of interest would be nearly uniform ; panics never could occur ; the condition of all classes would continuously improve. It appears very evident that discounts must again be raised to keep the bank secure, for under the Act of 1844 every commercial interest is held subordi nate to the possession of gold ; and as the Bank Charter expires next year, merchants and traders should at once take into consideration the evils of the system as demon- strated by past panics, in order to agree upon an effi cient remedy. r PRICE SD• CORN, CURRENCY, AND COMMERCE. The sunshine that we have basked in, is now darken ing with clouds. Bread is rising in price, and we are menaced with scarcity. Our farmers have grown bar ley instead of wheat, Russia has allowed the Sulina channel of the Danube to be nearly choked up, and it is with difficulty that supplies of grain can be shipped from Ibraila and Galatz. Louis Napoleon, alarmed for the stability of his throne, has become so enormous a pur chaser at Odessa that he has thrown up prices from 10 to 20 per cent., and fixed the price of the loaf throughout France, indemnifying the bakers out of the public trea sury. Marshal Radetzky has prohibited the exporta tion of every kind of grain, and of their respectiveflours and pastes from the Lombardo-Venetian provinces. A royal decree of the Neapolitan Governmentdated Naples, August 11, orders that "from this day, and through the whole of December of the present year, no customs' duty shall be levied upon the importation into our royal dominions beyond or within the Straits, of wheat, bar ley, oats, maize, pulse and flour, the produce of foreign . countries." These facts and precautionary measures, if not signals of alarm, are at least symptoms of anxiety- The state of the money market is as unsatisfactory as the state of the corn market. In the face of unprece dented importations of gold, derived from newly-disco vered mines, the Bank, alarmed at the drain on its bul lion, has been compelled to check it by raising discounts. About this period last year it held in its cellars 21,852,000/. ; it now holds only 16,962,000 d. ; the differ ence being 4,890,0001. On the 24th April, 1852, the rate of discount was two per cent. On the Bth January, 1853, it was raised to two-and-a-half, and on the 22d of the same month, to three per cent. On the 4th June it rose to 34 per cent., and on the Ist September to four per cent. Thus it appears that in the short period of 15 months the value of money, as tested by the rate of interest, has been doubled. Our commerce, as measured by our exports, has in creased at a most remarkable rate. Value of Exports in 1832 ... £36,000,000 PP ~ 1842 ... 47,000,000 ~ ~ 1852 ... ... 78,000,000 This advancing movement has gone on with accelerated velocity during the first six months of the present year. As compared with the first six months of the year 1852, there is an increase of ten millions, and should this continue in an equal ratio to the close of the year, then the aggregate exports of the present year will reach the amount of 98,000,0001. In the twenty years from 1832 to 1352, this commerce has been doubled, nor is there any reason, under real free trade, why this prosperity should not progress even more rapidly and more extensively. As we enrich our neighbours we en rich ourselves, for if they are not in a condition to pur chase, all our efforts to sell must be vain. David Hume, in his essay on the " Jealousy of Trade," clearly saw this truth, concealed from the statesmen of the age in which he lived, who upheld the prohibitory system in the hope of becoming wealthy by impoverishing those who were separated from them by rivers, mountains, and oceans. " Were such narrow and malignant politics," says Hume, " to meet with success, we should reduce all our neighbouring nations to the same state of sloth and ignorance that prevails in Morocco and the coast of Barbary. But what would be the consequence ? They could send us no commodities ; they could take none from us ; our domestic commerce itself would languish from want of emulation, example, and instruction, and we ourselves should soon fall into the same abject con dition to which we had reduced them. I shall therefore venture to acknowledge, not only as a man, but as a British subject, that I pray for the flourishing condition of Germany, Spain, Italy, even of France itself. I am, at least, certain that Great Britain and all those nations would flourish more did their sovereigns and ministers adopt such enlarged and benevolent sentiments towards each other." The sentiments or doctrines of David Hume are now incorporated to a great extent in British legislation, and we behold the results in the increased exports to which we have referred. It is equally certain that our home trade has also been prodigiously enlarged under our more liberal policy ; but something more is required than free ports to secure the expansion and uninter rupted course of prosperity of which we are tasting the first fruits. Scarce and dear money will destroy all our hopes, and this instrument of exchange is perfectly under our control, albeit we have no control over harvests. On the subject of currency we wish to call attention to some remarks made by the City editor of the Times in reference to the last rise in the rate of discounts. After assigning a variety of reasons, suggested by a fertile imagination, for the drain of bullion, he decides that the inconvenience will only be temporary; but we are bound to give his own words, because, in some quarters, the writer is looked upon as an authority : " - Under all circumstances, therefore, the conclusion is evident, that the position of the country is safe in every way, and that at no distant period a decided and steady reaction from the existing condition of the money-mar ket is to be looked for. But this safety, and the early prospect of greater ease, can be rendered certain only by a rigorous adherence on the part of the Bank to the prin ciple of letting the currency contract with the efflux of bullion, so as to increase the value of the capital which is being extracted from us, until the inducement for the drain shall be terminated by its becoming dearer here than in other quarters. It may be hoped that the step taken to-day will finally answer that purpose, but ano ther month must at least elapse, so as to admit of the harvest question being entirely settled, before any confi dent view can be arrived at, and no doubt is felt that, if the result desired should not speedily be attained a fur ther advance will be adopted without hesitation." There is also another passage that must be extracted, that we may have a complete view of his financial philo sophy : "At the same time the call for extra circulation ren dered necessary by the higher prices of goods can be continued only if the rise should go on, and, as it has already obviously been beyond what can be accounted for by the influence of the gold discoveries, there would be no reason to suppose that this will be the case, even if it were not rendered impossible by the present move ment of the Bank of England." It is. very evident that the writer of these opinions has drawn his inspiration from the teaching of Lord Overstone, whose pernicious errors, embodied in the act of 1844, highly aggravated, if they did not wholly cause, the panic of 1847, and which, ere this, would have strangled the principle of free-trade had not California and Australia come to the rescue. We are told, in the first extract, that the bank must con tract the currency with the efflux of bullion, " so as to increase the value of the capital extracted from us." Here capital is used in a false and exclusive sense, being limited to gold, without considering all other commodi ties, of which gold is the most contemptible in the eye of reason, though artificially exalted above all others by an usurious and pawnbrokering legislation. To increase the value of gold is to lower the value of all other goods, so to maintain an absurd and spoliating system the pro perty of all producers is to be arbitrarily depreciated. There is no mistaking this interpretation of the language of the writer ; for in the closing paragraph of the second extract it is avowed that a rise in prices " is rendered impossible by the present movement of the Bank of England ;" and at the end of the first paragraph that " if the result desired should not be speedily attained, further advance will be adopted without hesitation. Now the practical result of these tactics is to lower prices, the consequence of which is to take away the motives to production, and therefore to restrict trade, both foreign and domestic. All this evil is to be in flicted to retain bullion in the Bank of England, and forcibly uphold a system concocted by cunning, and as sented to by ignorance. The working classes have lately enjoyed, and are still enjoying, constant employment and remunerating wages. How will this rise in discounts, threatened to be in creased, affect their interest s ? `When money is abund ant and cheap, the class of employers extend their busi ness, and of course require more hands, but when money becomes scarce and dear, they contract their business and dismiss their workmen. To the class of employers money is a tool with which they work ; but when the tool becomes more and more expensive, they are compelled to discontinue their operations. Now we have seen that the value of money has been doubled in fifteen months, therefore the lenders of the tools have doubled their incomes, for they live upon interest charged for the use of the tool. This tool they call capital ; and though they have not the audacity of de nying, in plain terms, that houses, acres, ships, rail roads, docks, and commodities in general, are capital, yet, by using language in a false and deceiving sense, they have duped large masses of the people into the be lief that gold money, the article in which themselves deal, is, in a special and superior sense, capital par ex cellence ; so of old, stupidity worshipped the golden calf, and the priests looked on, laughed, and fattened. And, in later times, Demetrius persuaded other dupes to exclaim, "Great is Diana of the Ephesians," by say ing to them, " Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth ;" while the town-clerk told the people, "that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter." In this enlightened City of London a similar superstition prevails, for it worships the image which Mr. Huskisson set up, and which Mr. Jones Lloyd polished into seductive attractiveness. There is not a merchant in the City who does not experience a secret tremor when he reads in the Bank returns that the bullion is disappearing, and yet he knows that the value of the bullion, when at its maximum, is an abso lutely insignificant fraction compared with the aggre gate value of commodities which form the material wealth of the country. However, we are said to be poor when we part with a few millions of gold, al though rich in all other things ; besides that, when we do part with it, we receive an equivalent in exchange, either in wheat or wine, tallow or wool. This superstition having sunk deep into the commer cial mind, every nerve is strained to get back from fo reigners these cherished idols, called sovereigns. The Bank raises its discounts, aid the private bankers and ALADDIN. BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR TSB ADVANCE MENT OF SCIENCE. HULL, TUESDAY. The adjourned general committee meeting was held yesterday afternoon, after the dispatch of our parcel. The minutes of the preceding meeting having been read and confirmed, and signed by the president, it was an nounced that invitations had been received from Liver pool, Glasgow, Leeds, Brighton, and Gloucester. Professor PHILLIPS asked if any other gentleman had. the name of any other town which he was authorised to add to the list. _ _ Professor STEVELLY, on looking round the room, did not see Professor Allman present, and therefore repeated the invitation with which that gentleman was charged from the city of Dublin, which was presented last year at Belfast. Dr. DICKINSON, president of the Liverpool Literary and Philosophical Society, and chairman of a meeting formed of deputations from the various literary and scientific societies in that town, appeared to present of ficially the invitations of those bodies to visit Liverpool next year. The invitation to visit Liverpool was supported by Mr. Yates (the representative of the Mayor and Corporation of Liverpool), and by Dr. Hums, who stated that that town was about to expend a considerable sum of money in the erection of a library and museum, open free to all the world. (Cheers.) The invitation to visit Glasgow was supported by Mr. Liddell, of that city, by Dr. Walker Arnott, the representative of the Literary and Philoso phical Society of Glasgow, and by Mr. Smith, of Jor dan Hill. Mr. Ward, of Leeds, brought forward an invitation for the association to meet at Leeds in 1856, by which time the new Town-hall would be completed. A letter, renewing the invitation from Brighton, was next read. Mr. Gassiot urged the claims of Gloucester, in the absence of any deputation from that city. He was supported by Dr. Daubeny, H. E. Strickland, Esq., and R. Groves, Esq., but he ultimately withdrew the invitation on the grounds that he had no means of satisfying the officers of the association as to what ac commodation there was for the association in the event of its accepting the invitation. James Haywood and Dr. Scoresby urged very strongly the claims of Liver pool, and it was agreed on that the next meeting of the association should be held in Liverpool in the latter part of August or beginning of September, 1854, the exact date to be fixed by the council. On the motion of Colonel SABINE, the Earl of Har rowby was elected president for the Liverpool meeting. Lord Wrottesley, Sir Philip Egerton, Dr. Hewell, Pro fessor Owen, Mr. Lassell, and Mr. J. B. Yates were appointed vice-presidents. Mr. Dickinson and Dr. Thompson were appointed local secretaries for the next meeting, and Mr. Robert McAndrew treasurer. The PRESIDENT then announced that Dr. Royle, the late general secretary, had resigned his office, and moved a vote of thanks to him, which was carried. Colonel Sabine was, with his consent, appointed ge neral secretary. Professor Phillips was re-appointed. assistant-general secretary, amidst great cheering ; and Mr. John Taylor, general treasurer. The council for the ensuing year was then appointed, and the committee adjourned until Wednesday afternoon. This (Tuesday) morning the various sections sat for the last time in Hull.
