Cu„,finfriberless and well-authenicated cases which hitherto had been _ Idered as incurable by the Faculty, and which in a short time i t n given way under this treatment, are moat unequivocal proofs of '',!aPeriority over every other means as yet employed.

The works of the Lines for commercial communications between the places enumerated below, embracing a system of Telegraphs for commercial purposes only, and distinct from that reserved for the special Ilse of Railways, being so far advanced as to admit of their completion ay the commen?ement of the coining year, the Directors think tkat the time has now a•rived when it becomes their duty to make known the arrarnzements which they contemplate for the ac commodation of the public. Stations will be opened in central situations in the principal Towns, whence Messages and Dispatches will be forwarded to and received rom all the other kttations of the Electric Tele.graph Company. In order to give to :Merchants, Bankers, Manufacturers, and all connected with trade, the greatest possible amount of information, a Room will be reserved in eac't of the Company's Stations for Sub scribers, in which will be received, tabulated, and exhibited, all intel ligence of commercial or public interest ; for instance— Ship Lists from the rarioas Ports. Share Lists from the various Exchanges. Prices Current. Stock Exchange Lists. Corn Markets from the var'ous Towns. Prices of Live Stock, &c., &c., &c. In London, a Central Station, suited to the importance of the Me tropolis, is in course of erection la the immediate vicinity of the Bank sad Royal Exchange; in this Station the whole Telegraphic News of the country will be concentrated and forwarded in every direc tion ; and here, a , in other Towns, a Room will be reserved for Sub scribeis.

On the afternoon of the 13th of October the Caire, French steam-packet, entered the quarantine har bour of Malta, with the Egyptian standard flying, and soon after coming to an anchor it was ascertained to have been hoisted in honour of his Highness Ibra him Pacha, the Generalissimo of the Egyptiau army, who, owing to ill-health, had, by his medical adviser, Dr. Franc, been ordered a sea voyage, and. so alarming did his case appear, that although be only reached Alexandria on the 7th at noon, weak and fatigued as he was, he embarked ou board the Caire on the 9th, at nine A.M., and she took her departure at four r.m. on the 10th, in lieu of her remaining until the usual hour of seven A.M. on the 11th, an arrangement which the French would have it believed was come to out of regard to the precarious state of the illus• trious traveller, though in reality done to secure the g of his Highness and hi s su i te o f fourteenpassae nn loey individuals, who no doubt would have pre ferred the Peninsular and Oriental Company's noble steam-ship the Hinclostaa (a far more desirable con veyance), had they been certain that the India mails were so close at hand as to allow the latter to follow so soon after the Caire. From Alexandria it is stated that his Highness suffers from a disarrangement of the digestive organs, but we learn that he had been troubled on board by dysentery, which, though at first was very violent, has so much subsided, Vitt his Highness has almost resolved to give up his intention of proceeding on wards to Naples, and to return, after receiving pro.- tape at Malta, to Alexandria. The sudden departure of his Highness on the very day of an annular eclipse of the sun, a phenom enon always look e d upon w i t h awe by the astrologers of Egypt, added to the unusual high rise of the Nile on the two days preceding, had given rise to innume rable predictions and forebodings, some of which are of a very gloomy character. SOCIETY ISLANDS, SOUTH PACIFIC. Letters have been received announcing the official declaration of the independence of the Society (or Leeward) Islands. The following is an extract from a letter, dated Borabora, May 17 : "I am happy to inform you that the people of Bora bora are at length assured of th.e independence of this island, and of all the Leeward group. " Her Britannic Majesty's •ship Grampus, Captain H. B. Martin, arrived here o7i. the 4th of this month, and she is still at anchor in - the harbour. "On Saturday, the 15th inst., the French steamer Gassendi brought back the native adherents of the French from Otaheite. They were allowed to land in peace, and are now repairing to their respective localities in the settlement to rebuild their houses. " The steamer brought official documents from Admiral Sir G. Seymour, conveying the final deci sion of the French and English Governments. Our chief, Tapoa, who accompanied Pomare to Otaheite, is still there, but is expected to return shortly to his own land. " I send annexed the copy of a letter written by the chiefs to Captain Martin, on receiving the above documents, and his reply : " tTO CAPTAIN MARTIN, OF HER BRITANNIC MAJESTY'S SHIT' GRAMPUS. " ''Borabora, May 12. " Peace be to you from the True God. " This is what we have to say to you :—lt has frequently been reported here that our lands will become independent, and not be included in the Pro tectorate. With these reports we are much pleased, rejoicing in the thought that we shall not be under the Protectorate. " We now think that if our independence is ob tained we shall be left to ourselves. And this is what we wish—that Britain should protect us, our country, our people, and our religion, that we may not in future be troubled. We are afraid of any other powerful kingdom, and on that account we desire you to come and protect us for ever.' "'Phis letter was signed by the Regent on behalf of 'Capon, and by all the principal chiefs. " T 11.3 following is the reply of Captain Martin : " ' Her Britannic Majesty's ship Grampus. To TERIIMA.EVARUA, AND THE CHIEFS TEVIVI, lIAAPOUA, TIANOA,TAEAETUA, PA, MARE, HURIAI, RAITABU, TEBUIARII, REO, BUTOI. " Borabora, May 14. " Peace be to you. " I have received your letter of the 12th of May, and this is what I have to say to you in reply : " It gives me great satisfaction to relieve the anxiety with which you have so long and so patiently waited for the decision of the Governments of Eng land and France respecting the independence of Bora bora and the neighbouring islands. "' I am now able to communicate to you that your complete independence will be acknowledged. "' In order that you may live in peace, you must not concern yourselves with the affairs of Otaheite, nor must you permit yourselves nor your people to excite the Otaheiteans to rebel against the Protectorate. Thus you will, I trust, continue on friendly terms with the French, as with other nations. "' England will not forsake you. She will watch with interest your improvement and progressive ad vance towards civilization ; and the English Admiral will send his ships to visit you as often as their other duties will permit. " In conclu , ion, I advise you to cultivate your lands, to educate your children, and to strive by honesty, industry, and sobriety, and by a steady ad herence to the religious truths which the missionaries have taught you, to improve the moral and social condition of yourselves and your people. "' I am, your sincere friend, " H. B MARTIN.' " This letter, as might be expected, gave much pleasure and satisfaction to the people, and has, I hope, filled them with joy and gratitude, " Those who went over to the French are again the subjects of Tapoa, and will, we trust, in future live in peace, and in the observance of the laws of the country. They all attended chapel yesterday, with their children, about 100 in number, and, perhaps, a ninth or tenth of the whole population.

ACCIDENTS ON TUE BERWICK RAILWAY.--On Wednesday last, an accident occurred at the station of the Newcastle and Berwick Railway, at Tweedmouth, which might have occasioned a serious loss of life. The train which leaves Newcastle at half-past two o'clock in the afternoon, arrived at the terminus about half-past five, and whilst the guards and porters were collecting the tickets, an engine which is used for removing car riages, &c., at the station, called the Pilot engine, run into the train with fearful violence, and the consequence was that some of the carriages were more or less broken, and the passengers thrown together with such force that ten or twelve of them received severe bruises and wounds, but fortunately no bones were broken. One gentleman was much cut about the head, and was re moved to the King's A rms I nn, B erw i ck, when two pieces of plate glass were extracted from the wounds • he was able to proceed accomp an i e d b y a surgeon. A lady was also much cut and bruised about the face, and had to remain all night ; but it is not expected that any serious result will follow. The greatest attention was paid to those who suffered by the station-master, Captain Bell, who immediately procured medical assistance. On Wednesday morning, a man lost his life at the railway works at Berwick, whilst employed in excavating earth, which, being undermined, fell upon him and crushed him to death on the spot. MESSRS. LITTLEDALE AND Co. SUCCESSFUL.—The express train from London has just arrived, bringing the gratif3ing intelligence that the Bank of England have agreed to assist Messrs. Littledale and Co. in their present emergency. The reply to all inquiries was, " They have granted all that was required." This is very satisfactory, and will go far in esta blishing confidence. Those who were present at the railway station, and saw the intense anxiety depicted upon the countenances of the large num ber of gentlemen deeply interested in bank and mer cantile affairs of this town, who were anxiously waiting the arrival of the train can only judge of the relief which this news appeared to give them. It was rumoured that the Bank of England had assisted the Messrs. Littledale with a loan of Consols, which, at the close of the market in London to-day, sold at 791, at a hich price it was un derstood the whole had been disposed of. Mr. Littledale arrived by the train. —Liverpool Mercury. The lion. E. K. Coke, M.P , was entertained at dinner at Holt, o n W ednesday, by. his friends and sup• porters, to congratulate him on his return for the western division of the county, THE CURRENCY. Mr. Muntz, M.P. for Birmingham, has addressed the following letter to the Editor of the Times: — Sir,—l can ill afford the time necessary to address you respecting the subject of your article upon the most favoured locality of this empire, but I feel that I should neglect my duty both to my constituents and to myself if I allowedjsuch a jumble of misin formation and misrepresentation to pass unnoticed. As you say, Bi rm i ng h am and the eastern part o f its environs may have some little advantage from being represented by Mr. Scholefield, Mr. Spooner, Mr. Newdegate, and myself; but certainly none of us represent any p ar t o f t h e i ron trade, and our consti tuents are not only very few of them interested in the making of railways, or the various articles used in working them, but they have, during the last four years, been seriously injured in their general trades, and still continue to be so, prejudiced by the high rate of wages whi c h th e ra il way demand for labour in Staffordshire has enabled mechanics to maintain in Birmingham. I a m w illi ng to admit, that during the late war the injury which that war generally produced throughout the country was much neutra lised in Birmingham by the large expenditure of the Government in arms and other necessaries of war; and certainly the visitation of the cholera to all of the populous part s o f t h e kingdom, excepting .Bir - mingham, appeared to be a special interposition. The reason is, however, very evident. The town and immediate neighbourhood have scarcely a flat piece o f groun d i n them. An undulating surface, founded upon red sandstone and gravel, and therefore drained by nature far better than most places are by art, and higher above the level of the sea than almost any place in England, must naturally be freer from cholera and other epidemics than other localities. Besides this, the almost universal plan in Birmingham, of each family having a house to thtm selves, adds greatly to the cleanliness, morality, and health of the place. But, Sir, Birmingham is more favoured than most of our other manufacturing towns, by having its population employed in a great variety of trades, so that it rarely happens that all are de pressed together. The variety of trades produce variety of ideas, and therefore each mechanic helps to enlighten his neighbour. The workmen of Birming ham are not confined in rooms at a temperature of eighty or ninety degrees, without change of air ; they work very hard, and come in contact with much fire, smoke, and noise, which have made them, with both hard hands and hard heads, as careless and as fearless of the thunder of Printing-house-squar e as of the still more empty emanations of Downing -street. It is evident you have made very few in qu i r i es as to the locality a n d t ra d es o f Birmingham, and that you have lent yourself to the general opinion, that the in habitants are more interested in the construction of railways than those of most other places where com panies are formed and shares are held; and you assume, therefore, that the inhabitants oppose your view, that railroads are the main cause of the present pressure and extensive ruin. Never was a greater error committed by any paper. There is scarcely a person connected with the iron trade who resides either in the borough of Birming ham or in the district of North Warwickshire. The iron works are all in Staffordshire, of which no part enters the borough of Birmingham ; and, strange to say, but not less true than strange, there never was one locomotive engine made in the borough of Bir mingham, and, until very lately not one car riage. On the other hand, such has been the injury to the general trades of Birmingham, from the high wages consequent upon the de mand for labour in the neighbouring districts— which additional charge for labour the manufacturers were unable to add to their selling prices, in conse quence of foreign competition—that scarcely a trade bears such a profit as covers general expenses and risk of bad debts. Yet it is very lately that the increase of wages, and the consequent consumption of imports and produce, caused entirely by the railway specu lations, have been boasted of by Ministers, who then declared, as I know to be most true, that there had been no overtrading, and commerce was never in so sound a state. The supposition that the capital em barked in railways is the principal cause of the present monetary pressure, is nearly groundless. If the outlay was in foreign railways, or the mate rials used were principally imported, the case would be different. Now the expenditure is home labour, and English materials , ;ind productions ; and although some indiscreet persons may have suffered from spe culation, others have gained, which would leave the nation as rich as before. The only way in which the railway speculation has affected the country has been, as I before stated, by raising wages above the usual level, and by causing an increased import of foreign produce, which our present monetary system canna bear, , My opinion about the railway system is not at all governed by interested motives. I have not any rail way shares, and I am quit e unconnected with the manufacture of any articles used on railways. I w am ag , seriouslyeosnwthhiechcolntarmar7t,hruetbulgeos of a very hhsrailwinajy my. injured by the high pay, in which supposing annum. And now, Si r , work obliged obslaigmed per to were immediately at interested ng corrected your mis take,majority of the inhabitants in the construction of railways, I cannot plead guilty to your general charge of propounding an inconvertible ible paper currency. I that am not prepared to s a y it is impossible to have an inconvertible paper currency so regulated as to have all the soundness and solidity of a currency convertible upon demand into the precious metals ; but certainly I have never sufficient, insufficient, oryet l e arned how the excessive quantity of such inconvertible paper could be ascertained. Under such cir cums t ances, the present monetary system and yet convinced that is equally unjust and untenable, I have always, for thirty-two years, advo cated such an alter a ti on in the value of gold at which the bank notes a re redeemable to all classes and t o all interestsas shall be equally just ; and I am confident I shall yet live to see such change, or something much worse carried into effect. The all the philosoph ers , t h at it i clap-t ra p argument of alter the yard, or foot s as ju s t an d necessary to measure, as the standard of value, may satisfy th ose superficial p erso ns who never think for them se l ves ; b ut those who will think and know that the yard and f so altered, but th a t the foot measure never have been tually altered fr om 1785 standard to value was vir suspended from 1797 t o 1815,e1844, and was entir el y t- will also see that, if in stead of suspending b e altered our measure s for t standard of value we had period we had more than twentyrebled our ren t a l and our years, during which debt, it would have been as impossible to return to the old measures as it is ne our old standard of value of gold impossible to return to gold at 31. 17s. 10Id. per ounce. I y here co mmon resourc ma es ofby philosopher s you against the and bullionists when any man advocates standard—which is, that I. an alteration of the what he owes. In my e n_ wants to avoid paying I have always a far in a larger amount owing to se than by me; yet, as I maintain that the effects or thee present system are not half carried out, and will not be u ntil the prices of all property, pro duce, and labour average prices of 1785 to 1790, are reduced to the amin advocating an alteration of the standard, not -, Incurring a direct loss, but an indirect loss of some 3 0,0001., 0 which I f shall certainly obtain by reduction i prices if the be present system can carried out. ite agree with your correspondent, " Spectator," which Chancellor of the Exchequer , that nothi n means be done for the public than the Bank is g more can under the present system. At the presenntow doing, standard only a certain amount of paper can be circulated, is whether wanted or not, or whatever ruin produced. I also am aware that the 1844 Bill is quite ne if the 1819 Bill and 31. 17s. 10 Id. standardcessary be con tinued ; the former Bill is absolutely necessary in such case to prevent those vacillations in the conduct of the Bank, an d th ose depreciations and a ppreciations in the cir cu l a ti on , which were constantly occurring between 1819 an d 1844. Had the 1819 9 ing Bill been properly worked, by keeping half the amount of the paper in circulation in bullione i n the Bank, w ith ou t a ll ow i n g any material deviation in the amoun t , t h e 1 844 Bill would not have e a h on been wanted, and is now only useful to ensure such result. Agr ee i ng so f a r with " Spectator," I am quite at issue with him as to the quantity of money now in circulati on being enough for the wants of the country, a n d o pp os ed to his argument that, be cause the sam e amoun t of notes sufficed at another time, it should do so now. .An increase in prices, the exte n t o f t ransact i on , or the discountin g only ro short-d a t e d paper, w ill h a ve the same effect i n ren dering m oney scarce as a reduction in the am oun t issued; and when confidence is once lost, and the system will not allow of anything being done to re store it, every i n di v id ua l who has the power to do so, b y keeping an ex t ra amo unt of money at command, impoverish es the whole community. " Spectator " says, the reign of reason must not be altogether sus pended ; that i m p ro p e r monetary and banking re strictions are no t a pro minent cause of the present _difficulties ; th a t o v er trading is the cause, aided by fictitious credit and railroad ente r p ris e ; and that tampering w ith th e curre ncy will only increase the distress. I say, on the contrary, that nearly the whole of th e m i sc hi e f ar i ses from an unsound, unjust, ignorant, and u nna t ura l monetary system, instituted by men wh o k new no thing of the subject; that there has been no overtrading ; that the railroads would have done no harm if the system of money had been sound ; that there has been nothing but tampering with the currency since 1814; but what has been called legislation upon it would disgrace a schoolboy; an d t h at, until the system is honestly revised, and entirely alt ere d, t h ere will be no lasting prosperity in England. And now, I ask you, who ought to be believed in preference —a series of Go vernments, who for thirty-five years of contined peace have governed the country on a system which has added to her national debt, and at repeated periods brought her to a comparative state of ruin—who have during that time, and to support that system, enacted poor-laws, tru c k-l aws , corn -l aws, and bank laws, all impolitic, iniquitous, and unjust—whose every new plan was to be a cure, and whose every new plan failed ; or a number of disinterested men, who have as repeatedly said that the Government plans were unsound, and would not succeed, and who now say that the remedy is easy, and the cure may be made permanent, and the principle of cure be a just one ? Of course no one will admit, if they can avoid it, that anything good can come from Birming ham. Nevertheless, the empire is indebted to my native town for many useful and valuable discoveries, not to say anything of my own yellow sheathing, about which I was so much ridiculed and abused at first by all classes, and all interests and professions, but which the nation now saves about 200,0001. per annum by the use of. It appears fearful odds to be opposed by the Times, the Government, the philosophers, Sir R. Peel, and the money-holders; but no odds are important when one is acting in accordance with the principles of nature. It is only a question of time, and success is inevitably certain. Whether the 31. 17s. 101-d. standard is partially got rid of by a heavy property tax in exchange for indirect taxation, or by any other insidious plan, it must and will be got rid of. The other classes will not allow the money class to mono polise all their property, produce, profits, and labour, long without remuneration ; and, in spite of all op - position, the nation will at last confess that the prac tical men of Birmingham were long before the rest of the people in discovering that the great cause of the distress and misery of the last thirty-five years was attributable to an ignorant, vicious, and unjust legis lation upon the monetary system of the empire. You say that any change in the currency will only be robbing Peter to pay Paul, but you are wrong. frominoneetearny system. inPeterthe tinning to rob Paul, as he has been doing for the A would proper only change prevent last thirty. years. If you could show them that all prices had accommodated themselves to the standard of 31. 17s. 100., I should immediately admit your posi tion ; but the far greater proportion of prices have still to be greatly reduced before they will be in ac cordance with that standard. A nominal convertibi lity of bank-notes is not a real convertibility, and here has been the deception. It is very easy to effect convertibility when none, or few, want to convert; but, whenever circumstances make general converti bility approach, wretchedness, misery, and ruin cover the face of the land. The pressure is now great, but it is nothing to what we shall yet feel, although pos sibly it may be temporarily postponed ; but the present Money Laws will not be carried into full effect until the value of land, the value of landed produce, and the value of labour connected with them, are reduced to the level of 1785. Then, when farmers are ruining, mortgagees foreclosing, land uncultivated, and both agricultural and mechanical labourers unemployed, with the tax-collector clearing away all the existing profits, you may rejoice in your healthy standard of 3/. 17s. 100. And now, Sir, I may as well give you my remedy, as proposed in 1840 to the Commit tee upon Banks of Issue, the efficiency and justice of which the events of the last seven years have mournfully convinced me. The first and indispen sable step is a suspension of cash payments, whilst the subject is debated and arranged. The second, an entire separation between the Bank of England and the Government. The third, taking out of the hands of the Bank the management of the circulation of the country, and giving it to a national bank, managed by commissioners appointed by, and respon sible to, Parliament, which bank should issue notes which should be a legal tender, and in which all other banks should pay their notes on demand. The fourth, empowering such commissioners to issue their notes very gradually, to such extent as should eventually raise all prices which have fallen, and with them gold and silver, until silver was 7s. 6d. per ounce, which would keep wheat at an average price of 7s. 6d. per bushel, and all other prices in due ratio. And when such price of 7s. Gd. should have been obtained, the national bank should at all times receive silver at 7s. Gd. against their notes, and pay the notes on de mand in silver at 7s. Gd. per ounce. The above proposal will be a fine field of cavil for the philosophers, bullionists, and the press; in the meantime I have only to say, that I would most .willingly undertake by the above plan to relieve, im prove, and entirely restore the country to permanent prosperity, with satisfaction to all interests, all classes, and all parties, subject to any forfeiture, even were it loss of life.—Yours, respectfully, G. F. MUNTZ. Ley Hall, near Birmingham, Oct. 18. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Silt,—Let the Bank of England issue ten millions of Government one pound notes, which notes should be payable for duty at every custom-house through out England and Wales.—Yours, &c., T. Bath, Oct. 22, 1847. - MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. CITY, FRIDAY EVENING. TIMES.—The fluctuations in the English Funds have to-day been somewhat less violent. Consols opened at 798 to 4 for money, being a slight decline upon the closing prices of yesterday, advanced to 80k, receded again to 79k, and closed at 79i to j. For the account the first price was 798 to 80k, and, after ascending to 808, they left off at 808 to There was more business transacted in the foreign exchanges than on any recent post-day. The rates for Holland, Frankfort, Vienna, and Trieste were higher, and for other places about the same as last post. In London, although at the Bank, out of doors, and at the Stock Exchange, there has been a strong demand for money, the day has passed off well. From the country, reports have been industriously circu lated of the stoppage of two joint-stock banks, but in one case the town agents are wholly without advice of any such event (while, from the state of the ac count with them, they also consider it highly im probable), and in the other a contradiction has ap peared in the third edition of The Sun. The arrangement which was described yesterday as having been made by the Bank of England with Mr. Littledale, of Liverpool, for the support of his firm, is now fully completed, and the house will re ceive the required amount. The letters from Newcastle received this afternoon mention the existence of considerable excitement in the town, on account of the stoppage yesterday; but they are free from news of any further disaster. The proprietary of the Union Banking Company are very respectable ; and it is believed that any call that may be necessary towards the liquidation of the concern will be promptly met. Letters from Manchester received this morning maintain the same comparatively steady tone which we mentioned a day or two back. Everything here," says one writer, "continues quiet, and there is a more hopeful feeling beginning to prevail. We are likely to have cheap food and cheap cotton, and, with a beter state of the money-market, business will certainly improve." The accounts from India by the present mail, as regards the affairs of Messrs. Cockerell and Co., are, it is said, not unsatisfactory. Owing to the better state of the market for piece goods, the house had disposed of the old stock, and were proceeding to sell those of 1847, while, with respect to indigo, it appears that, although the crop was estimated at only 116,000 minds, the factories with which the firm are con cerned were better than the year preceding, although, like the crop generally, inferior to what had been anticipated. Confident expectations were entertained of large remittances being made during the season to cover the bills drawn. CHRONICLE.—Our letters from Liverpool de scribe a better state of things as having commenced. This has arisen, no doubt, from the partial improve ment which took place in London, the favourable reply to Messrs. Littledale's claim for assistance, and the general belief that the Government will step in to aid the commerce of the country in its distress. The Bank returns have, as usual, appeared in the Gazette this evening, being the account up to Satur day last, the 16th inst. Under the circumstances, we do not think a better return could have been antici pated. Compared with the same period of 1846, the effect of the payment of the dividends this year is less apparent, although of course the change in the posi tion of the Bank is very great. Much anxiety prevails in the north of England with regard to the contemplated stoppage of works, and the most fatal consequences are apprehended from a continuance of the present crisis in financial affairs. The Government have an opportunity for preventing the further spread of the evil ; but every hour lost is the addition of more difficulty to be here after removed. The epidemic, which we %di • ' P 4 Diel Is on the in crease, and although a lull may here and there for a brief moment occur, yet with the state of feeling which paralyses the heart of the country, London, we may be sure that the extremities cannot escape the pressure which it endures. We hope to see the matter taken up by the leading firms in the City. It interests all alike, whether supporters of the Bank Act of 1844, or its opponen's ; for it must not be for ! gotten that the original scheme contained a clause authorising, under certain circumstances, the increased issue of notes which are now found to be required. We believe it was to the opposition of the present Chancellor of the Exchequer that we are indebted for the exclusion of this clause; and if so, the Right Hon. Gentleman has a debt to pay to the commercial commu nity, whose troubles are now aggravated by the feeling that the remedy is a matter involving a responsibility which the Ministers of the Crown seem but little de sirous to incur. To this point, however, they must come at last; and if th e p er i o d b e delayed, it will be with the misfortunes tenfold greater. The prestige of " the proper moment " lost, and their own reputa tion as statesmen must be seriously damaged in the estimation of the country. HERALD.—The pressure for money to• day in the discount market, if such a market can now be said to exist, in the proper sense of the term, was severe beyond all former precedent, and the rates charged puts carrying on regular business in any department of trade utterly out of the question. We have repeatedly cautioned the public not to look at the Stock Exchange as affording any criterion what ever for the actual state of affairs in the metropolis, for the prices there are governed to such an extent by speculative operations that they lead to no con clusion that can be relied on. Although, however, every person having the slightest knowledge of the subject is perfectly convinced of such being the fact, it is currently reported in circles that have ample means of judging, that so limited is the knowledge, and so narrow the views of the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, that he clings with the utmost tenacity to the belief that an advance of per cent. i❑ the price of Consols for the account is an irrefragable evidence that things are im proving, and that consequently there will be no necessity for interference on the part of the Govern ment. It is scarcely credible that such shallow flip pancy could be displayed in such alarming circum stances as the country is now placed in, by any man having the confidence to accept of such an office, and we have no hesitation in stating that we speak the mind of a great majority of the country when we affirm, that if Lord John Russell cannot find a man with a more expanded grasp of mind to fill the office, the doom of his Cabinet is sealed. Reports were industriously circulated, and which for a time obtained credence in a number of the banking-houses, that the North and South Wales Bank, the head office of which is at Liverpool, had suspended payment. As this bank has a number of branches ramified through Wales, the report in ques tion excited considerable interest ; for, being a bank of issue, the maximum of which is 63,9511., it was inferred it would create great distress among a num ber of poor people. We are very glad to be enabled to state, that on inquiry at the London and West minster Bank, who are their agents in town, we were informed that they had received no advice on the subject, and had - not only paid and received every thing for them during the day, but were to remit a sum in bank-notes to Liverpool by this evening's post. There were other rumours circulated respecting two or three commercial houses in town being unable o meet their engagements, consequent on the arriva of the mails yesterday, but the facts were not attested on such authority as would render it prudent to give them publicity at present. The letters received from Manchester this morning announce the stoppage of the private bank of Scholes and Co., but except as an evidence of the extension of the pressure, it is not treated as a matter of much importance. The bank was established in 1790, and by the return made to the Stamp-office, the partner ship consists of Thomas Seddon Scholes, of High bank, Prestwich, near Manchester; and Joseph Sed don, Cheatham, near Manchester. ► The directors of the North of England Joint stock Bank, whose head office is at Newcastle upon-Tyne, and which suspended payment in March of the pre sent year, have been actively engaged in realising the assets, and have just issued a circular to the shareholders, together with a balance-sheet setting forth the assets and liabilities to the 30th of Octo ber, 1847.

FIRE AND SEIZURE OP AN ILLICIT SOAP FACTORY. —Yesterday morning, shortly after twelve o'clock, the• neighbourhood of Lamb -street, Spitalfickis, was thrown into a state of excitement, in consequence of the spring ing of policemen's rattles and a genl.ral cry of ".Fire!" It soon became apparent that the premises belonging to Messrs. Johnstone and Co., oil and colourmen, i n t h e above street, were in flames. The parish engine, with several belonging to the London Brigade, were early in arriving, when the firemen found that the outbreak had occurred in the back room on the first floor. After some trouble the flames were extinguished, when, upon y, an that d i immediatelyt was quiteclear making an examination to ascerta i n the cause of the s d o is a a p st m er a , n t u h f e tt y ctor foundof the premises where t h e fire commenced over that portion was that the a n illicit from the flue leadi ng to the chief. Sear c h was mad coppers had cause d t h e mis efor the parties who h a d th us been carryi ng on their illicit calling, but without suc cess, as they had managed to effect th e i r escape . Th e officers of th e E xc i se were apprised of the di s co ver y, and, having repaired to the premises, they took posses sion of the plant. INCENDIARY FlRE.—This morning, about half past one, a fire happened in the timber-yard of Messrs. Johnson and Co., timber-merchants, Gurney-mews, Exmouth -street, Spafields. Mr. Colf and Mr. Connor ton, with the London Establishment and West of England engines and men, were quickly on the spot, when the piled timbers of the yard were found to have been set on fire in more places than one. By the ex ertions of those present on the outbreak the fire was quickly extinguished, but not until some damage had b?en occasioned. A private watchman is retained on the establishment, who has always been a most active servant, and there is every reason to hope that the guilty parties will be traced. When the work men left last night, everything appeared perfectly safe, the greatest care having been taken by those on the premises to see that the lights were properly attended to. SUSPENSION OF RAILWAYS IN LANCASHIRE.—The South Junction Railway works are suspended in Man chester ; as is also, or very nearly so, the Manchester and Altrincham line. Besides these two important un dertakings, the Lancashire and Yorkshire (late Man chester and Leeds) have discharged a great number of men during the last fortnight in Mlanchester, and no doubt on other parts of the line, We fear awful times are close at hand.

TO MR. PR,OUT, 229, STRAND. " No. 208, Piccadilly, October 19, 1847. " Sir.—lt is now three and a half years since I was sorely afflicted with Rheumatic Gout, the suffering from which induced me to try all the proposed remedies that extensive medical experience could devise, without obtaining any satisfactory relief from pain. During one of the paroxysms a friend advised me to try BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, observing that he had in some severe cases taken them himself, and they proved very successful. I in stantly adopted his advice, and to my joy the excruciating torment soon began to abate, and a few boxes restored Inc to health, since which I have had no return of the complaint. " I trust you will give publicity to my case, that suffering humanity may know how to obtain a remedy for this distressing disease. " I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant, " MICHAEL NAYSMITIL" . _ The above testimonial is a further proof of the efficacy of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic tills, which afford speedy relief to those afflicted with gout, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, tic doloreux, pains in the head and face, and all analogous complaints. sold by Thomas l'rout, 229, Strand, London, and most respect able Medicine Vendors.

A R R I A G E. m One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em itter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissolable, regret un comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, a*e the great hindrances to domestic happiness end social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour end justice demand tkat health should form an item in the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.
