It must be manifest to even the most 1113erfi cial inquirer thafthe vast increase of capital and of population that has taken place within the last thirty years wouldrrequi requir e a corresponding increase in the circulation o currency in order to carry on the ordinary daily transaction s of the country. There has been an enormous add ition nation, and the posse-ssors tla of f the fixed wealth of the that r wealth c ons ider themselves warrant e d i n m ea a ln r s their outlay by their improved means. Th ere tional persons to be fed, th e vast also o-rnany addi are obliged to look to their daily l i ab r o ity o f their whom an d g th r e su l d n il i .; daily food, and consequently a much larg er e for required for the payment of wages, expenditure, than was formerly the case. would have been amply sufficient for the general peposes of the country thirty, or even twenty years air:. is. now quite inadequate to afford the necessary inmodation. It should, therefore, have been the fir,,!, care and duty of the Legislature to have enacted avise and prudent laws, by which that increased demand would have been provided for within proper li m its, guarding, at the same time, against an undue excess, which would have led to over speculation, and aga inst a deficiency, the fatal result of which h as been so painfully apparent. In doing this they should also have provided a certa in security against tho possibility of loss by the non-payment of a single note, or whatsoever other symbol might be used to represent money under the legislative :sanction. All tElst•Wiciethatt*ht easily have been effected, but ( la-4 ' 122 " -41. 01:7 - ko, it would seem as if the object ~,r i .b .

They ac- Cnriineypasse . c v . 4k.S .„„.w _tatute of 1844, which has been N h justly described as "An Act to stereotype low prices," and which might also be designated, " An Act for the restriction of trade and commerce, and the total abolition of British manufactures." This atrocious law, which is utterly worthless in seasons of prosperity, increases the difficulties of an adverse and trying period a thousandfold. Its ad vocates must have been deeply imbued with the opi nion that a drain of gold could only be occasioned by one fixed and certain cause, and that in every in stance it must be dealt with in the same manner and encountered by the same remedies. There never was a greater mistake than this, or one that has led to more lamentable results. The currency doc tors were disciples of the Sangrado school; that every disease was to be cured by bleeding and hot water, if the: system was steadily pursued, was the theory of that celebrated physician, so that the already debilitated and enfeebled patients had their veins drained, and were as copiously drenched as the plethoric and apoplectic. It is needless to say that what might have been useful to the latter class speedily consigned the former to the tombs of their forefathers. So, likewise, the meddlers with our cur rency compel the directors to put on the screw in every instance where a drain of gold takes place, whether that drain be occasioned by an excess of commercial speculation (in which case it might have a good effect), or from a temporary exportation of the precious metals to pay for the articles of food absolutely required for the support of our people, or by an internal panic and a general discredit, inducing the public to hoard their gold and withdraw it from circulation, which latter cases should be dealt with in a very different manner, what might in one state of affairs be but a prudent and proper precaution, being in either of the others a serious aggravation of the original evil. _ _ . A history of the various causes that have led to drains of gold in past years, and the manner in which the difficulty was treated by the directors, and the results that followed, will better illus trate the absurdity of the present law, than any other method that could be adopted. Had the Act of 1844 been in force in December, 1825, the Bank must inevitably have stopped payment, and it is diffi cult to imagine what would have been the conse quences thereof. At that period the gold in their Icoffers was reduced below 1,300,000/. sterling—we were within a few hours of a state of barter—when, happily, a box of one-pound notes was accidentally discovered, by great good luck (as one of the directors stated in his evidence before the Committee of 1832); and without the slightest foresight or preparation. In fact, it had been totally forgotten by all. These notes were freely issued, and (still to use the language of Mr. HARMAN) " they averted a complete drain and saved the credit of the country." The panic was speedil y banished, and con • fidence restored. And yet our sapient law givers, forgetful of past experience, speedily pro hibited the circulation of one-pound notes, under any circumstances, and in 1844 passed a still more stringent enactment, limiting the issue of notes of any denomination beyond a certain amount, arbitra rily fixed, and which does not afford sufficient repre sentatives of value to carry on the ordinary affairs of the nation. In the present emergency some remedy must speedily be adopted, without a single day's delay, or years must elapse before the country can recover from the misfortunes occasioned by that fatal law. " A Country Banker" suggests that the Government should suspend the operation of that Act, and at once authorise the Bank to issue to the " extent of three millions on securities beyond its present limits." Much benefit would undoubtedly follow from such a course, but we doubt if it would be sufficient. At a',l events, the Ministry cannot be insensible to the 'present danger, when from thirty to fifty per cent. is given on the security of Government Stock, when the difference of the price of Consols for Money and the Account is no less than from to 1/, no argument is necessary to prove that the time for action has arrived. A Cabinet Council will be held within a few days, and we hope that something will then be decided on. The country requires immediate relief, and it cannot be withheld without responsibility of the most serious character being incurred by those to whose hands the na tional destinies are intruded. Meanwhile let the people speak out—let meetings be held on every side, and remonstrances uttered against the destruc tive financial policy that has been adopted, and is still unhappily adhered to. Unless the public voice is heard in high places, it cannot be supposed that the full force of the public feeling will be understood, or their wishes made known And attended to. For the time being Austria has desisted from its endeavours to effect the suppression of liberalizing sentiments in the Italian peninsula. The town of Ferrara has been evacuated by the soldiers cf FER. DINAND : the citadel is alone garrisoned with the troops of Vienna. Auspicious as this arrangement may appear to the more sanguine, it is merely a temporary suspension of the designs of Absolutism. The " fatal gift" still remains conspicuous over that fair country whose central city was once the mistress of the wrlrld—it still holds out an irresistible tempta- tion to the KAlSAR—that " gift" which Lord BYRON recognised as the most perillous characteristic of the peninsula when he apostrophised it as— " Italia, 0 Italia! Thou who haat The fatal gift of beauty!" The withdrawal of the Austrian forces from within the ramparts of Ferrara is literally nothing better than the insidious concession of a power resolute in its de termination to gratify its infamous ambition by some more subtle and formidable act of intervention. The prize is too splendid to be so easily forgotten or abandoned—the booty is too costly to be altogether neglected. That Cabinet, moreover, which could brave the indignation of all civilised Europe by the spoliation of a petty republic like Cracow, cannot be expected to resign the domination of three superb principalities without a murmur or a struggle. Italy must therefore employ this opportune tran quillity in preparations against the dangers which must supervene. By the organization of its political institutions, by the combination of popular enthusiasm throughout Piedmont, Tuscany, and the Papal States, by the extension and practice of its National Guard, by the gradual abatement of the excitement of its populace, by the ripen ing of the fruits of liberality in the council chambers of Pius, of LEOPOLD, and of CHARLES ALBERT, the most classic of peninsulas may best insure its inde pendence, and erect a more insurmountable barrier against Absolutism than the crags and gorges of the Alps. If such a course be adopted, the assaults of the Imperial armies of Vienna may be deferred, and the longer those assaults are deferred the less likely are they to terminate favourably for the assailants. We cannot think that the refusal of the Sovereign PONTIFF to allow the passage of an Austrian reinforcement through his dominions for the purpose of afford ing succour to the enemies of civil and re- ligious liberty in Naples, will, yet awhile, call down any decided expression of wrath from the palace of FERDINAND. METTERNIC H is not zet sufficiently prepared for such a movement of audacity. The pear is not yet ripe. METTERNICH can tarry for a more favourable opportunity, and METTERNICH will tarry for that opportunity, unless some blunder on the part of the newly awakened principalities lure him on to a premature attestation of his designs. It consequently becomes a matter of extraordinary solicitude to all who aspire to behold the perfect and p erm anent emancipation of the Italians to recogni se among them a s o b r i e t y, a reso l ut i on, an d a cons i stent unanimity such a s may procrastinate the overt oppo sitionof th e KAISAR, and will have by procrastinating it tend Prince METTERISI ctI his attention in guarding aganst insurrections i n Venetian Lombardy. The principles v enough to ergross i e e of prevented are contagious. Can that contagionr In defiance of all experienc e , in defiance tions of history, in defiance of their own o reasons, the asser statesmen of Vienna will believe th a t such is possible, and in pursuance of that idea they will strive to keep the doctrines of GIORERTI from the precincts of Milan. As well might they attempt to stay the pro gress of the Cholera by a rigid system of quarantine ! As well might they attempt to prevent the sunlight from shining upon the Lombardo- Venetians 1 Their recent endeavours to crush the first efforts of the liberal Sovereigns of the Peninsula, their incursions upon the states of the Church, and their insolent bearing to the Cardinal Legate of Ferrara have rendered the prolonged retention of Northern Italy impossible. Venetian Lombardy is already preparing to shake off the yoke of the foreigner, and to arise from its protracted thraldom. The tocsin even now sounds in the hearts and imaginations of its inhabitants. It would indeed be preposterous to expect that they could continue impassive and un affected while their compatriots were elevating themselves to distinction among the nations of Chris tendom, and proclaiming to the whole world the re viviscense of their nationality. The light of liberty has streamed and is streaming upwards from the south; it has advanced from Rome to Tuscany, from Tuscany to Piedmont—it will next proceed from Piedmont to Venetian Lombardy. There is no staying the current of this sublime tide, and if any attempt is made to stay it we shall have an incident in the modern history of Austria, analogous to one of the most memorable incidents in the ancient history of England. The frontiers of Lombardy will be the shore of the great tide of popular opinionMETTERNICII and his col leagues will be the flatterers—FEßDlNAND will be CANUTE. Happy that man who is destined to be the historian of this new epoch 1 for he will look back upon the discomfiture of Austrian cupidity and the liberation of the Italian people. As yet these things have to happen, but they are as certain to be the con sequence of the occupation and evacuation of Fer rara, as though they had already transpired. SiLvio PELLICO may not be the last of the captives of the tyrant of Vienna, but he will be the last who will ever appeal to the patriotism of his fellow-country men without a response. The sword is raised at Schoenbrum, but the arm is paralysed. The Emperor of AUSTRIA has convoked the Die of Hungary for the 7th November. The cholera continues to advance in Russia, and nearly by the same route by which it arrived in 1831. It has reached the; environs of Toula, distant 40 miles from Moscow. The Helvelie of the 2d says : " Before quitting Switzerland for Italy, Lord Minto had a conference at Lucerne with the representatives of Switzerland, France, Austria; and Prussia. The English diplomatist wished to view with his own eyes men and things, which had been represented to his Government by M. Morier and by Mr. Peel in diametrically opposite lights. It is said that he did not long remain in doubt, and that his judgment is entirely favourable to the cause of the federal majority. An official dispatch from the English Minister for Foreign Affairs has made the Directory acquainted with the mission of Lord Minto. In this document Lord Palmerston uses terms expressive of great goodwill towards the federal authority, and speaks in a manner most henourable to its president, M. Ochsenbein. His language bears no resemblance to that of M. Bois le Comte. We may be assured that England will oppose every species of foreign in tervention in the affairs of Switzerland and Italy." We learn from the Swiss Federal Gazette of the 2d instant, that the Grand Council of Appensell had instructed its Deputy in the Diet to vote for the dissolution of the Sonderbund by pacific means, but that should the minority of the cantons refuse to submit, he was to recommend recourse to coercive measures. Letters from Rome of the 28th announce the eva cuation of Ferrara by the Austrians, on the 25th. Orders to that effect were, it is said, dispatched from Vienna, immediately on the receipt of the POPE'S ultimatum by the Cabinet of Austria. Addresses arrive from all the provinces of the Ro man states, each more strongly than the other, ex pressing the devoted love and attachment of the people for their SOVEREIGN. It has been decided that a mo nument shall be erected on the Pincian Hill in honour of Pius IX., and perpetuating the memory of his having instituted the civic guard. It will be formed of the magnificent antique column preserved in the court of the Palace on Monte Cetorio. On the top will be placed a statue of Clemency; below will ba the four cardinal virtues, and on the pedestal bassi relievi, in allusion to the institution of the civic guard. The idea was given by Prince PIOMBINO and CICIRITACHIO, and M. CARNEVALI, the architect, has made the designs. The cost is to be covered by vo luntary subscriptions. The receipts are expected to exceed the expense, and the surplus is to be applied in the purchase of artillery for the civic guard. A letter from Venice announces that the city is about to send eight remarkably fine pieces of cannon as a present to his HOLINESS. The Grand Duke of TUSCANY has again made changes in his Ministry. The Marquis RIDOLTI takes the place of M. PAYER as Minister of the In terior, and Count SERRISTORI is made Minister of Foreign Affairs. The new Ministers have signalised their accession to power by a measure which will meet with general approbation. The Prefecture of Police, the arbitrary authority of which had in a multitude of cases paralysed the action of the laws, has been deprived of its independence. This is the first step towards a separation between the judicial and administrative powers in Tuscany. This Minis terial modification has been provoked, it seems, by the resignation of the Marquis CORSINI, Governor of Leghorn, who was only a few days ago appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs. If we are to credit the reports in circulation at Florence, the retirement of M. CORBINI was in consequence of a new constitution which the new Ministry had presented to the consi deration of the GRAND DUKE. The official journal of the Neapolitan Government of the 27th ult. affirms that tranquillity has been completely restored in Sicily and Calabria. The article concludes with the following announcement, the ridiculous absurdity of which is calculated to throw a doubt on all the assertions of the official journal. "We repeat," says this journal, " without any re servation, that the brigands of Calabria do not exceed twelve, eight of whom may be expected to surrender from one moment to the other." According to accounts received from the seat of the insurrection' the] Calabrian: insurgents hadj offered to lay down their arms, provided the KING would change his Ministry, and adopt certain reforms. His MAJESTY, however, rejected the offer, and en joined the Generals commanding in Calabria to pursue the rebels with more vigour and severity than ever. The Royalist troops are, however, insufficient for this purpose, and the insurgents is spreading in every direction. The troops, it is said, in many in stances, refuse to act, and it is by no means impro bable that some of them will join the insurgents. A letter from Naples, of the 27th ult., states that a letter, .addressed by Lord PALMERSTON to the KING, reminding him of the execution of the convention concluded in 1816 with Eng land, by which the King of NAPLES engaged to convoke the States of Sicily and to submit to them every plan for increasing the taxation of the country, had caused his MAJESTY great dis pleasure. King FERDINAND, after having consulted the Austrian Cabinet as to Lord PALMERSTON'S note, has, it is said, replied to his Lordship, that his note could now produce no effect, inasmuch as the States of Sicily bad been dissolved by royal or donnance. Several persons of distinction in Naples have been arrested. Madrid papers of the 30th ult. have arrived. The Gageta of that date publishes a series of de crees for carrying into effect Senor Escosuaa's plan for the civil government of Spain. The king dom is divided into eleven districts, called Civil Go vernments-General, each of which will be presided over by a Civil Governor-General, who will have under him a civil governor in each province within his jurisdiction, and civil delegates in every town and district. These changes are calculated greatly to benefit Spain by diminishing the power of the military chiefs, and by effecting a saving of 3,000,000 reels per annum. The system comes into operation on the 15th instant. Senor VENTURA DE LA VEGA, Private Secretary to the QUEEN, will, it is said, be shortly appointed Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, and will be succeeded as Private Secretary to the QUEEN b y G eneral GALLEGO. After his inter view with the Mi n i ster of Foreign Affairs, NARVAEZ tendered his resignatio n of the Parisian Embassy. It was, however, sent back to him, with an intimation from the Minister that the QUEER declined to accept it. MADRID BoLse, SEPT. 30, —The Three per Cents. were done at 26 for cash; the Four per Cents., at TILE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY RVENING, OCTOBER 7, 1847. 16 ; the Five per Cents., at 171; the Debt without Interest, at 51 for paper; and the Coupons, at 14.. We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. The Univers publishes a letter from Rome of the 29th ult., announcing the evacuation of Ferrara by the Austrian troops on the 25th ult. " That event," says the Univers, "is equivalent for Austria and her allies to the loss of a pitched battle, and adds consi derably to the glory already acquired by the Sove reign PONTIFF. That peaceable victory guarantees the independence of the powers, called in Europe feeble and secondary, against the encroachments and intervention of those called powerful and strong ; but what affects us Catholics most deeply is, that it en sures the emancipation of the Church and frees it from the guardianship and oppression of the great European Colossi. We can now witness the result of the crooked policy of M. GUIZOT and of his im prudent alliance with Austria. It has destroyed, as regards Papacy, the traditions of several ages and the ties of sympathy which united France with the entire of Italy. Thus, the position of M. Rossi is no longer tenable ; I have been assured that he has obtained an unlimited leave of absence, and that he will quit Rome in a few days. Prince ALBERT DE BROGLIE, who lately arrived here with dispatches from the French Government, departed almost im mediately afterwards for Florence." The Constitutionnel, in the course of a long article on the financial crisis, recommends the holders of railway scrip to " hold on." It says— "lf we examine the railways independently of the present crisis, it does not appear that the bona fide shareholder should feel any great alarm. In fact, nothing has occurred to cause a real diminution in the intrinsic value of the lines ; far from that, the decline in the price of shares c o i nc id es w i t h an in crease of receipts, which is so much the more re markable that it takes place in spite of the falling off which has occurred in different branches of industry. The receipts of the Orleans Railway during the first three-quarters amount to 7 ,519,0001., being 811,000 f. more than during the corresponding period of last year. Those of the Rouen Railway have risen to 7,409,0001., being 1,400,0001. more. The section of the Orleans Ind Tours Railway yielded last week 96,000 f. instead of 78,0001., which it produced during the corresponding week of 1846. The receipts of the Rouen and Havre Railway have been upwards of 2,000,000 f. for the first six months. The receipts of the Northern Railway are continually on the increase; its weekly returns have attained 400,000 f. ; the produce of the first 9 months of the year amount to 10,792,0001., and it is probable that it will be 15,000,000 f. for the whole year. This railway is now about to under take the conveyance of coal, which will be brought from the frontier to Paris for 171. the ton. The early opening of several sections of other railways is an nounced. One of the first will be that from Creil to Compiegne. The line will be prolonged to St. Quentin, but will not obtain its greatest traffic until it be continued to Maubeuge. When the railway from Charleroy to Erquelinnes shall be completed, this line will be the veritable road from Paris to Cologne and Germany, for it will be shorter by twenty-five lea zues than than by Amiens, Valenciennes, and Brussels. We shall also soon see opened a section of the railway from Marseilles to Avignon, that which is comprised between the Pas des Lanciers and the Durance. This railway is one of those which have suffered most severely from the reaction ; but the opening of the line will probably restore confidence, by showing that the traffic is sufficient to make up fur the miscalculations which were made with respect to the cost of its construction. The opening of the second section of the Amiens to Boulogne line is expected to take place towards the end of October. There is, however, a part of it between Nesles and Boutogne, 10 kilometres, which will have to be served by omnibuses, and which will not be com pleted before next spring. It is to be hoped that the Paris and Lyons Company will bi able to open the section from Paris to Tonnerre, or at least a portion of it, in the course of the next year. We are assured, moreover, that the directors of the railway from Montereau to Troyes have definitively fixed the opening of the line for the Ist of April next." The same journal announces that Reform banquets are to take place at Cosne on the 17th instant, at which M. MANUEL, Deputy for Nevers, will take the chair, and at which M. DUTERGIER DE HALT.. RANNE, and several other members of the Chamber of Deputies, are to be present ; at Blois, where two hundred electors have already subscribed towards the expenses ; and that in Franche Comte the Reformers have determined to have a series of banquets. These banquets are evidently causing great alarm to the Government, as it is impossible to grapple with such peaceful and legal assemblages ; but we once more impress upon the Reformers of France the neces sity of continuing the admirable line of conduct which they have hitherto pursued. Let no taunt, no insult, no violence, ever induce them to break the law—that the Government merely wants an excuse to let loose upon them an armed soldiery, is evident from the conduct which it has pursued at Lyons, where, according to the Censeur de Lyons, the troops employed to disperse some groups of curious persons, who had assembled before the convent of St. Denis in that city, had been supplied with ball cartridge, and that cannon was ready to be employed at a mo ment's notice. " What," says the Censeur, "is to be thought of a Government which has recourse to musketry and cannon to disperse the smallest assem blage ?" It is in vain that the Ministerialists endea vour to sow discord in the ranks of the Reformers, by endeavouring to produce a collision between the exaltado and the moderate Reformers. All are agreed that it is necessary, to use a phrase of O'CoNNELL's, to go to Hounslow, and is is not because some de sire to go to Windsor, that those who intend to re main at Hounslow should refuse to journey in their company. The following article from the National shows how loyally (we use the word in its French sense) the Republicans are acting in concert with the more moderate Reformers:— "Nothing, in our opinion," says the National, "demonstrates better the importance and utility of electoral banquets than the rage against , them by which the Ministerial journals are inspired. The abuse cast upon the honourabe citizens who take part in them, the sarcasms poured forth on the speakers, are all proofs of the uneasiness of the Court journali. It was believed that France was for ever set asleep, but her awaking proves how vain were the hopes founded on her repose. We do not deceive ourselves as to the bearing of the Reform meetings, nor do we exaggerate their utility. We are aware that the greater number of those who thus assemble still maintain illusions in which we cannot participate. They have, moreover, taken care to tell us that they do not despair of our institutions. It is however, incontestable that the necessity for obliging the Government to resume a constitutional course, from which it is deviating more and more every day, is becoming more manifest amongst the privileged classes. The sentiment which prevails amongst them w a s clearly stated at Orleans. The men who served as the organ of that party are above suspicion. They belong, for the greater part, to the friends of moderation, and their language derives a weight from their personal position which cannot be mistaken. For these reasons the embarrassment of the Ministerial journals to find a reply to the at tacks coming from such a quarter is great. It is even curious to compare the gross abuse of the Govern ment press with the language, no doubt warm, which has provoked such fury. Truth has no need to bor row words of persuasion from the fish market, and that abuse is not a rgument. I n place of a sser ti ng we are sufficiently accustome d i n France t o b e li eve alternately, with equal bad faith, that the country takes no interest in political reform, and that Reform banquets will throw France into confusion, it would be better, in our opinion, to confess that those meet ings constitute a great fact to which attention should be paid. It cannot be pretended to persuade men endowed with any common s ense that president s o f the royal courts, d eput i es, mayors, members of the general councils, electors, all belonging to the class in possession of power, assemble for the pure pleasure of making speeches, or for that which would be still more serious—to destroy public order and to create confusion. Communism, we believe, was not seated at the banquet of Chateau Rouge, or of Strasburg, or of St. Quentin, or of Orleans; or of Meaux. It was the middle classes, re presented by elector s , w h o spoke, and who sub stantiated their grievances and their wishes. At what, then, is the Government alarmed ? Public order is not imperilled, no party menaces any legiti mate interest, property and family count as many defenders as guests at those banquets. Are there any other interests exclusive of those fundamental bases of our social organization which incur any danger ? Let us have an explanation on that head. We have nothing to learn ; but we should be glad, for the edification of the country, to hear the system repudiate its origin. It would be well that those who pretend to represent the expression of the national will should avow their hatred for the principle of the sovereignty of the people. Their acts, during 17 years, have all been di rec t e d w i t h a v i ew to acqu ire an exclusive power, a particular action, independent of those rival powers which c ons tit u t e th e representative system. The government has been conducted with Cham bers as if they did not not exist. That was not enough. The reasoning of the system goes further. It says we must govern without them, and against them, if necessary. This is the reason why re form has its terrors. And, in fact, see what will arrive if the electoral suffrage be extended, and the country be really represented. A system, evidently in opposition with the necessities, with the ideas, and with the general interests of :the nation, must fall on the first collision. If this were not the case, why should the Government resist, with the energy of despair, every species of progress ? It has been said, that by means of refirms' we dispense with revolution. That is true as regards governments whose existence is not in contradiction to the very nature of the society which they direct. As for the latter, the development of political institutions is a pledge of duration and augmentation of strength, in asmuch as they become consolidated as the basis is enlarged on which they are founded. But when, is the contrary, the Government constitutes itself inon state of privilege in the midst of social order—when a pretends to exist, as we have just now said, indepenit dently of every-day life, in that case it is easy to comprehend that as it has no root it must fall on the day when the nation, mistress of itself, shr.ll establish her legitimate domination. Nothing is more evident. if the present regime was conscious that it responded to a real necessity, and that it re presented some legitimate object, it would not so much fear reform—it would be sure of being com prised in that great mass of various interests which general interests would assimilate without destroying. But it wants confidence in its utility. Even at pre. sent it uses all the privileges which surround it as a defence, and it shelters itself behind electoral mono • poly, as if it were a fortress. To consent to reform would be equivalent to suffering its fortifications to be rased ; and it pretends, on the contrary, to fortify itself by all means. If we are in error, it is easy to convince us by yielding to the wish expressed by public opinion. But if the Government resists and obstinately refuses, we shall be entitled to assert that the Government is actually without the pale of the nation ; and if such be the case, it has only to take counsel of itself in order to be saved, if necessary, in spite of itself. For these reasons we desire to see Reform banquets multiplied, not for the mere plea sure of hearing a system of policy stigmatised of which we have long known all that is to be expected from it, but in order that public opinion, manifesting itself by all legal channels, the Government can no longer be permitted to elude the question without placing itself in a state of insurrection against the nation." Marshal SOULT attended the funeral of the late Marshal OUDINOT (Duke of Reggio), which took place on Tuesday, at the Invalides. SOULT has, it appears, at length accepted the Governorship of the Invalides, and received the appointment on Tuesday. M. DEVRESSE, the editor of the Courrier Francais, was on Monday prosecuted before the Court of As sizes of Paris, for the publication of the following libel (copied from the lndependant of Brussels), on M. HOCHET, Member of the Council of State, and M. DUMON, the Minister of Fi nance :—" Much at this moment is being said about a certain inscription of I,ooof. rente given by Baron DE R. (ROTHSCHILD) to M. IL (Ho- CHET), a member of the Council of State, on the day of his marriage with the daughter of the Mi nister D. The present was made in acknowledg ment for the concession of the Northern Railroad." A postponement of the trial was requested by the advocate of M. DEVRESSE, on the ground of sudden indisposition, and refused by the Court. Judgment was therefore suffered to go by default, and the Court condemned M. DEVRESSE to twelve months' imprison ment, to pay a fine of 6,000 f., and all the costs of the prosecution ; giving no damages to the prosecutors, their counsel having in their name declined to make any such claim until the nature of the defence to be set up by M. DEVRESSE should be known. The Courrier Francais publishes the following observations on this trial : " M. A. Devresse, responsible editor of this journal, was yesterday condemned by default, on the prosecu tion of ,the Minister of Finance. Our advocate, M. Madier de Montjean, having been suddenly seized with serious indisposition, demanded a postponement for a short time. The (Jourrier Francais, however, neither can nor will add anything to what it has al ready said. It merely refers to the explanations which it gave at the first." The KING has returned to St. Cloud from La Ferte Vidame. The Chamber of Commerce of St. illalo have peti tioned the Government to prohibit the exportation of potatoes. It appears that although the wheat crop has been abundant, the black corn has suffered in many places, there is scarcely half a crop of pota toes, while there remains no portion of the last year's crop of wheat on hand.

THE WEST INDIA MAIL. SOUTHAMPTON, OCT. 7.—The Teviot steam-ship arrived at Southampton this day at noon from Mexico. She brings but little additional news to that received by the Caledonia. The Teviot left Vera Cruz Sept. 1. The American army were still about three miles from Mexico, awaiting the re sult of an armistice granted by General Scott. Four commissioners were sent from the city to stipulate for peace, and it was generally sup posed matters would be amicably settled: There is no further account of the battles, as the courier arrived at Vera Cruz, from Mexico, with the news only just before the Teviot sailed; it was an English courier, and the Americans at Vera Crus consequently rely upon the truth of the statement. The Teviot brings only 407,650 dollars, and an average cargo.—Herald. REGISTRATION.—(THIS DAY.) TOWER HAMLETS. (Before Mr. T. Y. M'CumsTlE.) The Court for the revision of the list of voters for the borough of the Tower Hamlets commenced its sittings this morning, at ten o'clock, at the Court house, in Wellclose-square. The Court was occupied for a considerable time in receiving the respective lists from the overseers, and the original notice o f c l a i ms or o bj ec ti ons received by them. MARYLEBONE. (Before P. BAILEY, Esq.) The Court took the list for the Paddington district. There were only five claims and three objections for hearing. Mr. Alexander Brown, of 101, Norton-street, com plained that though his name had been upon the registry for seven years, and he had paid all the re quired rates and taxes, it had beeffiscratched from the list of voters. Mr. Greenwood said he could not find Mr. Brown's name upon last year's list. Mr. Brown said he would find it if he looked into the amended list. In reply to the Revising Barrister, he said he could not tell whether the notice of his present application had been served six weeks ago. The REVISING BARRISTER said he was sorry he could afford Mr. Brown no assistance. There was no evidence to show that due notice had been given of the present application, and he must therefore reject his claim. Mr. Brown complained bitterly that there had been either gross neglect, or worse, in managing to get his name scratched, after he had been seven years on the registry, and had up to the present time complied with all the required forms. MADAME CELESTE.--The engagement of this de lightful artiste at Birmingham has been by far the greatest hit of the season. Night after night have the houses been crowded to overflowing, the lovers of the drama delighted, and the treasury filled. She appears to-morrow as Miami in the Green Bushes, for her benefit, at the general request of the principal families of Bir mingham, who are anxious to have one more oppor tunity of witnessing her exquisite delineation of this —one of the most interesting characters in her re- pertoire.

The Cotton Tvlarket at Liverpool yesterday was in a " wretched " condition, and purchases could be made for cash, upon greatly reduced terms, prices, however, being very irregular. American was full id. per lb. lower than on Friday last, and Surat and Brazil were id. cheaper. Sales 4,000 bales.—Shares were in steadier demand, and the market was better. The arrival of the Teviot steamer from the West Indies has been announced, and there is much interest felt to learn the news from Mexico. South Australian papers of May 5 are just to hand. The emigrant ship Theresa bad arrived from London in 104 days, with 239 persons on board, and it is highly creditable to the parties connected with the vessel to state that the emigrants expressed themselves in the warmest possible terms at their treatment on the voyage, and the comforts provided for them. There are said to be letters in town from Hamburgh, via Hull, announcing one, if not more than one, failure. From Leipsic we learn that the fair had gone off well, though the English manufactures did not sell so well as German fabrics. At Berlin the wool trade has been rather brisk. The sales of grain in the provincial markets are in creasing greatly. Last week they amounted to 125,084 quarters of wheat and 40,320 quarters of barley. The produce markets here are much depres,cd, owing to the heavy quantities pressed upon them by parties in want of money, and importers must be sustaining serious losses. The following is a report of the provision trade at Liverpool:— Cheese—Our market is pretty well cleared of this article. About 700 boxes of good quality, just landed, were sold at auction on the 30th inst., and realised 50s. to 555. per cwt. A really fine article would have sold higher. Our import for the month has been 2,066 b bxes. Beef—There has been a fair demand for this article, the trade selecting all the finer parcels, of which there are very few left. Inferior qualities are completely ne glected; some are offering at about 755., which, although designated "India," do not find buyers even at this low price. Pork—But little impression is making upon our large stock. Ireland continues to take a few strips at former rates, and the shipping trade very sparingly. " Prime" is nearly unsaleable, except at extreme low rates. Bacon—Our stock of this article is trifling, but it is more than sufficient for the demand, which is nearly suspended. The quantity entered at the Custom-house for the month is 62 tons. Onions—Our own crop is so large this year, and the price so low, 49. to ss. per cwt , that there will be no opening for American ; the few that have been received have sold at ss. per cwt. The Money Market continues with but little altera tion, and the same unwillingness to loan, even upon the best securities, is exhibited by the bankers. The Bank of England will have large amounts payable to it ere the dividends become payable, but may not be in a position to employ them in renewed discounts until after the dividends are paid, viz., on the 13th instant, when we should be greatly pleased to hope that matters may become a little easier. The Funds opened tolerably well, but have gone back a little since. Consols have been 841 to 841 I for Trans fer, and 841 for Account. The Bank of England having allowed a few loans on Exchequer-bills to run on, matters are somewhat better in respect to that security, but the prices are still very heavy, viz., 15s. to 235. discount. The Foreign Stock Market is flat. Spanish Five per Cents, are nominally 171 to 18/ ; Portuguese Four per Cents. 21 to 23 ; Mexican 184 to 18i ; Brazilian 75 to 78; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 521 to 53/. - Railway Shares have not varied materially, but are in some instances a little flatter, and in others firmer, as the list of prices will show. birti iEbttton THE FUNDS.-(CLOSING PRICES ONE CLOSI.N G rRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS.
