The receipts of corn thus far exceed by 4,089,238 bushels the entire receipts of 1846. The receipts of barley up to the fourth week in October during the pre sent year, compared with the corresponding period of 1846, show a decrease of 84,200 bushels; and from the Ist of September to the 31st of October, inclusive, com pared with the same period in 1846, show a decrease of 15,216 bushels. Saturday Night, Nov. 6.—The letters and papers received by the mail from the Caledonia present a more gloomy aspect than, from the advices by the French steamer, we were quite prep a r e d f or; yet, glo om y as is the aspect for England, there is in it little or nothing that should cause uneasiness, or will produce loss here. The English funds have fallen almost 3 per cent. from the previous rates, the last quotations being 83i to 81, and confidence was sadly shaken. This, indeed, seems the great evil, and produces, or at any rate, largely aggravates, the scarcity of money, which is the great complaint. The prophecy, however, so heedlessly made by Mr. Horsley Palmer, and so unwisely blazoned to the public here, of as impending crash that was to shake commercial credit throughout the kingdom, had not occurred, and was not, so far as could be judged, likely to occur. In all the list of failures brought by this packet, that of Barclay and Co. is the only consi derable one, and that touches very little this country, and is not of a calibr e to shake the commercial credit of England. But more so is that of the Royal Bank of Liverpool, of which the whole capital almost-1,000,0001. —were said to be lent to three houses. When this state of facts was made known to the Bank of England, that institution very naturally and properly refused to inter fere, and the Liverpool Bank was obliged to stop. But no ultimate loss will result to the public, as the stockholders, who are personally liable, are able to make good all its engagement a. There was a rumour by the French steamer that Mr. Baring hail been to Paris to endeavour to ne gotiate a loan of 11,000,060 francs for a relief of the London money-market. This appears to be a mere rumour, without any founlation in fact,—as unfounded as the story told by a previous packet, in some Eng lish letter or paragraph, that the house of Baring Bro thers and Co. had been aided by Lord Ashburton to the e o x ut tent of 500,0001. sterling, who was s a id to have sold tionC:Ainrt I:urttointel n ia t t l a to t w h u c e s ' e ut e n i o t eit t h rr er he ne w e i d l . o ir l i e g i.tstollirerreecienivvienng ma airy ns Help a d ; unembarrassed position Liver pool toF see rom the ee deputation Chancellor n which has n t t i o sit h ig cl its own great gonept those less less at Tier with a view of inducing some relaxation int the'xlichieernestr.tchtion, aid was expected, its Sir Robert Peel had Mayor (one of the deputation) for a week precedingwt the mission of the deputation, and it was thence inferrede that Sir Robert's assent to some modifications in the Act which bears his name might be anticipated. The form in which Government may authorise relaxation will bo, if at all, probably in granting the Bank permission to issue ono pound notes. Such un issue, however, will only be permitted for a limited period—any one year —and the issue would be accompanied by a rise in the rates of discount, so as to discourage new undertakings. Under all the circumstances, the chief interest still which this country has in the condition of the English money market is the indirect one—though very near worthless —of the prices of our chief staples in the English markets. While the money pressure continues here, wheat, flour, cotton, &c., will continue low—and as the value will be regulated measurably by the value abroad, prices hero, too, must be low. But of returned bills of exchange—except upon banks or other incorporated institutions—there will be few or none ; and thoso re turned upon such institutions are forthwith paid with damages. The French Government have issued propo sals for a loan of 250,000,000 f., about 50,000,000 dolls., to be paid in twenty-five monthly instalments of, on an average, of 10,000,0001'. per month. The French funds rose, in the face of this announcement of a now loan issue, of which the apprehension had long hung over the market as an indefinite contingency. As soon as the facts and conditions were known, n, the market was re lieved. It is belie ved the loan for a three per cent.issue could be negotiated at about 77.

ATTEMPT TO MURDER ♦ SUPERINTENDENT OP POLICE.—The fashionable watering place Weston-super Mare, Somersetshire, has been thrown into a state of unusual excitement and alarm, in consequence of an attempt by a man named Cann to murder Mr. Hill, the active and intelligent superintendent of police, by stab bing him with a knife in two different places. Cann is supposed to have formed one of a number of idle and dissolute persons of broth sexes, who had latterly occa sioned much annoyance to the inhabitants of the place, and some of whom, through the diligence of the super intendent, had been apprehended, conveyed be-l'ore the magistrates, and by them sent to prison, on which ac count it is believed that Hill had become very obnoxious to them. Cann and another man had been creating a disturbance; they continued their row, and some of the inhabitants being disturbed, sent for Hill, who was in bed at the time, to assist in preserving the peace. The fellows refused to comply with the superintendent's directions, and go home quietly, and resisted his autho rity with so much violence, that being powerful fellows, he was obliged to strike them with his staff twice. Cann used violent threats, and swore that if he touched them again, he would stab:the constable, and a further scuffle ensued, in the course of which Cann stabbed Hill twice. The poor fellow was picked up in a faint and bleeding state, and was conveyed to his home, where he lies in considerable peril. Caun was afterwards apprehended on the capital charge.

It stated that the district in which the school was situate had long been known as the most depraved in the metropolis, and the character of the children attending it might therefore be judged. The school was now open every day in the week, the average attendance being 70, and the instruc tion given entirely free. The committee, after much consideration, suggested that food should be given to the children, many of them, dependent as they were upon what they casually picked up in the streets, and turned out by their parents to shift for themselves, often tasted nothing from morning to night. It could not he expected that these children could be improved in mind while they felt the pangs of hunger. The committee also suggested that the boys should be taught soma trade, the knowledge of which might enable them to earn their living in an honest and industrious manner. The receipts for the support of the school amounted to 871, and the expenditure to 701., leaving a balance not equal to the liabilities. It is rumoured, in quarters likely to be well in formed, that Lady Blanche Somerset, third daughter of the Duke of Beaufort, will shortly be allied to the eldest son of a noble Scotch family. The nobleman referred to is Viscount Dupplin, eldest son of the Earl of Kin noun, and the marriage, it is said, will take place as soon as Lord Dupplin comes of age. His Lordship was born on the 16th July, 1827. and consequently is now ix his 21st year. Lady Blanche Somerset will complete her 20th year on the 26th of January next. FOSSIL REataiss.—A short time ago, while a man, named Thomas Ileatly, was working is Ballygroobeny bog, about half a mile from Hamiltonsbawn, he disco vered the fossil remains of an animal of the ancient Irish elk species. The head was in tolerably safe pre servation, and has two main antlers upwards of seven feet apart, from each of which are twelve branches. The bones are much larger than those of a cart horse.— Armagh Guardian. FIRE IN CURISTOPIIER-SQUARE.—Yesterday morn ing, shortly before six o'clock, a fire broke out upon the manufacturing premises belonging to Mr. Alfred Web• ster, a bedstead-maker and japanner, situate No. 21, Christopher-square, Sun-street, Bishopsgate. The flames originated in the factory, which was surrounded on either side by workshops and private houses, and in the course of a few minutes after, not only were Mr. Web ster's buildings in a blaze, but two or three private houses in the same square, and also a couple more in Crown court. It wit:; not until a late hour that the fire was extinguished, and not until a serious destruction of property had taken place. UNLICENSED VENDORS Or MEDlClNE.—Yesterday the Apothecaries' Company issued notices to the Hun tiates of that company, requesting to be informed of any unqualified medicine vendor residing in their district, in order to their criminal prosecution; the company, in consequence of the numerous fatal occurrences resulting from the indiscriminate sale of poisons, See., by such persons, being resolved to put the law in force in all cases of vending and prescribing by unlicensed persons. A farmer's wife in New Connecticut, Ohio, is prep ring a cheese for a present to Queen Victoria, which will beat Parson Leland's Jefferson monster all hollow. By joining (as they say) with some few of her neighbours, she has prepared the milk of 500 cows for one day. The production is a cheese weighing six hundred pounds. AN UNWELCOME VISITOR.—On Wednesday morn ing week, a fox paid a visit to Mr. Bramley's poultry, at Sutton Bonnington, and after robb:ng the roost of several young fowls, killed several fine game fowls and throe young turkeys, which he quietly deposited in an adjoin ing garden, where they were found by Mr. Bromley and the policeman, whilst in search of the sly thief.— Northampton Journal.

TIIE LATE ALEXANDER GALLOWAY.—Tuesday the mortal remains of Mr. Alexander Galloway wore deposited in Kensal-green Cemetery, in a vault, alongside his wife and son, the Bey, who are buried there. The funeral was strictly private, and confined to his two sons and grandson, and a few intimate friends who appeared us mourners. FEMALE BAILIYF.—The Limerick Chronicle states that a gentleman, who was unable to get writs served, dressed up a bailiff in female attire, and thus effected his object, for the seeming woman was admitted, while the bailiff, in propria persona, had found that there was "no use knocking at the door." JERSEY ONIONS.—An importation of seven tons weight, 10 sacks, and 15 bags of onions, have taken place by a vessel arrived in the river, from Jersey, the produce of the island, in addition to other articles of general merchandise. Although such large supplies of onions take place from the southern and other states of Europe, we have not been accustomed to look for them from the Channel Islands in such large quantities, (From the London New Price Current of Nov. 26.) SUGAR.—To-day there was no improvement in the home or export demand for Raw Sugar, and for some kinds prices suffered a further depression, although there was only a small quantity brought to market. In West India kinds only a limited business was concluded for all purposes although lower rates were taken, making the decline compared with Friday last of 6d to Is per cwt. The sales to-day were 450, making 11,870 hhds* and trs for the week. REFINED.—To-day the market for refined goods was in an inactire state, and the tendency of prices is still downwards, standard lumps selling at 52s 6d, and brown grocery 51s 6d per cwt. Bonded crushed Sugar held firmly at 30s 6d to 31s 6d, and is still much in demand. MONUMENT TO DAVY.— We notice with pleasure a tolerably wide-spread movement in the mining world, for the erection of a monument to the memory of the late sir 11. Davy. Let there be a monument by all means; next to Newton, no man of science of this country ever deserved one more. But do not let any error, in point of fact, be mixed up with the grounds on which his me mory is cherished. The safety lamp was, indeed, one of the greatest triumphs of his genius; but it is an histo rical untruth to say that it has " economised human life." On the contrary, the loss of life from explosion of fire-damphas been much greater since the introduction of the Davy than before it. And this is reasonably enough accounted for in two ways—first, by the neglect which the use of the Davy has induced of ventillation, which is a much surer means of preventing such accidents than any mode of lighting whatever; and, second, by its having enabled coal-owners to work mines so danger ftw.irrao,,yu thel hnefooetro,mshtearov of the tt b sh e ed e danger ously foul, that but for the Davy they could not, and workedenpbrtedpress, monument thatto nawl u l e . n r i e e S n th o t e l y t a h r u e g y l e o l n ) w e indeed' ould be this, however, detracts nothing from to but performing a very ordinary • f a r e o t m o f t gratitude.he merit dell of - fray he invention itself.

THE LATE ATTEMPT TO OVERTURN A RAILWAY TRAIN.—It will, no doubt, be in the recolleetioo of Our readers that William Ashcroft was convicted at the last Central Criminal Court sessions, for having, on the 25th of last month, placed large blocks of granite upon the rails on the Eastern Counties Railway, near the Lea bridge station, just before a down-train was due. The passengers were so much pl ease d w i t h the presence of mind and judgment displayed by t h e engine driver, William Young, in stopping the t ra i n , and by the sub sequent exertions of the firemen and guards i u capturing Ashcroft, that they raised a subscription, amounting t o 81 Bs. 6d., and requested the directors to divide it in such proportions as they might think fit. The money was accompanied by a very flattering letter in praise not only of the men, but of the improved and now efficient general management of the line. The men attended the board on Thursday last, when, after a suitable address from Mr. Waddington, M.P., the chairman on that day, Young was presented with Si., being the directots' addi tion to the subscription, and the 8/. Bs. Gd. was divided equally among the three other men. It may, perhaps, be mentioned that Young was the man selected by the directors to drive the train that conveyed her Majesty and Prince Albert to and from the Cambridge installation in July last. He is one of the oldest engine -di ivers in the Eastern Counties service, and one of their most valuable servants. THE PHRENOLOGICAL JOURNAL.

East India Treacle is not much wanted, and the best is not worth more than 17s per cwt. • TEA.—Although there are sellers of all kinds of black, upon former low terms, yet town and country buyers operate with reluctance, which is a natter of sur prise, as the loss upon the importation is yet large, whereas the consumption continues to be good, and stocks in second hands are small.

INCREASE OF PAUPERISM IN MARYLEBONE. Yesterday a very numerous meeting of the board of directors and guardians of St. Marylebone, was occupied in considering the extraordinary measures of relief ne cessary to meet the unprecedented amount of distress and pauperism. Mr. Jacob Bell having been called to the chair, Mr. MESSER, the relieving officer, reported that the number of persons receiving relief during the present week, was 9,100. Mr. JONES, the master of the workhouse, reported that the house was at that moment so overcrowded as to be in an unhealthy condition. Mr. ALLEN, one of the surgeons of the Workhouse Infirmary, reported to the board that the amount of sickness prevailing amongst the poor was so great that it exceeded the usual number twofold, that the appoint ment of two additional assistant visiting surgeons was absolutely necessary. An order for such an appointment was immediately given by the board. Sir J. HAMILTON said, he would move, " That the attention of the board be at once specially directed to the crowded state of the house, and to the alarming increase of applications for outdoor relief, with a view to adopt such measures as may be practicable to meet, and, if possible, to mitigate the increasing desti tution." Mr. A. DANIELL seconded the motion. This resolution having been adopted, the board re solved itself into a committee of the whole board. Counsel's opinion was read as to the power of the board to erect additional buildings out of the parish, or anywhere except on the site of the present workhouse, for the pauper children. The opinion was, that under the Local Act they had no such power, but that the vestry had. Mr. G. S. SMITH said, they were in a sad predica ment.- Only yesterday, Mr. Allen, the surgeon of the infirmary, had to take one sick patient out of his bed to make room for another, who had returned after an opera tion from the Free Hospital. Mr. CARR moved, with regard to outdoor relief, " That four inspectors of the poor be forthwith em ployed to assist the relieving overseer in affording relief; and that Mr. Messer be empowered to employ additional officers to supply the place of the inspectors. ' This was seconded and carried. Sir W. STIRLING said this was a gigantic evil, a per manent increase of workhouse accommodation was therefore absolutely necessary.—(Hear, hear.) After some discussion it was resolved— " That the master be requested to report specially as to the amount of room available in the workhouse, and the number of persons possible to be got rid of out of those inmates under 30 . years of age." Mr. CARR said he held in his hand the South Austra lian Gazette of the 6th of March last, which had been addressed to the board, and from which it appeared that whilst there was so much distress and want of employ ment here there was abundance of it in the colony of South Australia. The paper stated, " The want of labour in the colony is daily becoming more pressing. Every available pair of hands are employ ed, and enter prise in all directions, pastoral, agricultural, and mineral, is cribbed and confined by the impossibility of obtaining a sufficiency of working power to carry on the legitimate operations of the colonists. The landed proprietors of the colony had presented a memorial to the Secretary of State for the Colonies on the subject; and had prepared ships to carry over emigrants. Carpenters. masons, and smiths obtained constant employ at 6s. to is. Gd. per day, and labourers from 21s. to 30s. per week." He felt assured there were hundreds of poor fellows who would avail themselves of this rather than come to that work house for relief. He moved— "That the secretary communicate with the Colonial Land and Emigration Commissioners for information on the subject." Mr. Micum seconded the motion, and it was carried rem con. On the motion of Mr. SODEN, the board was ordered to be specially summoned to receive the reports as to the increased distress and destitution and the state of the workhouse. The beard then broke up. COURT-MARTIAL AT CLIATHAM.—The members of a General Court-martial,of which Court Colonel Charles Menzies, li.II , Royal Marines, is President, re-assem bled on Thursday in the General Court-martial Room, by order of his Grace the Commander-in-Chief, for the trial of Private Edward Carter, ofs the 89th Regiment, for stealing two 51. Bank of England notes and some plain clothes from Ensign G. Pinckney Atkinson, of the same corps, at Sheerness. The prisoner was servant to Lieutenant John Macdonald Cuppage, and that officer's kitchen was opposite to the kitchen of Ensign Atkin son, in the garrison at Sheerness. That, on the 7th of October last, Ensign Atkinson came off the Dockyard guard at Sheerness, and that, ou his arrival at his quarters, he pulled off his uniform coat and gave it to his servant, Edward Peechey, to brush ; at that time there was in his pocket a purse containing two 51. Bank of England notes. When the servant returned the coat, the purse, and money were gone, and, although strict search was made for it, nothing was heard of it. On the 15th of the same month Colour-Sergeant John Couper, of the same regiment, with Private Peechey, went, by order of Major Robert Lewis, to search the prisoner's box for some writing of the prisoner, and on doing so they found two steel rings and steel drops, which Peechey identified to have belonged to his master's purse that was lost with the bank-notes. The circumstance was communicated to Ensign Atkinson, aid by order of Major Lewis, on further search of the prisoner's box, they found two pair of white drill tronsers, one pair of black beaver ditto, and one pair of cotton drawers, and one silk pocket. handkerchief, the property of Ensign Atkinson ; also 31. 9s. 6d. in gold and silver, two silver watches, and two new pocket-handkerchiefs, and other articles. On the discovery of the new pocket-handkerchiefs the pri soner was taken to Mr. King's, a linen-draper at Mill Town, when Mr. King identified the prisoner as the man who had, on the 12th of October, changed at his shop two 5/. Bank of England notes, the numbers of which corresponded with the numbers of those that Ensign Atkinson had lost. The prisoner made a defence which did him more harm than good. He has been three years in the regiment, and up to the present transaction his character has been good. The decision of the Court will not be known until confirmed by the Horse Guards. MONUMENT TO WASHINGTON AT NEW YORE.— On the 19th of last month thirty thousand persons as sembled to witness the ceremony of laying the first stone of en enormous monument to Washington, in New York. The members of Congress, ministers of state, foreign ambassadors, and a triumphal car, drawn by six white horses, containing a bust of the American hero, surrounded by thirteen young girls in white, to repre sent the thirteen original states, formed part of an im mense procession to the site. The monument is com menced on elevated ground, and being intended to serve as a landmark for ships at sea, is proposed to be of very considerable height. A New York paper gives a small view of it, showing it to be a tower in six stories, gradually decreasing in size, and separated by hard horizontal lines, after the fashion of what is believed to have been the arrangement of the Tower of Babel, or a monstrous opera-glass pulled out to its furthest extent. Our au thority says, that when the coffer had been deposited, a shower of money and bouquets rained in from the sur rounding spectators, each anxions to make his offering to the memory of Washington.—The Builder. • LOSSES OF THE FRENCH NAVY.—A French con temporary gives the following as a correct statement of the losses of the French navy within the last two years: —"The state has lost the Berceau, corvette of 30 guns, which went down at sea; the Colibre of 4 guns, advice boat, which like the Berceau was on the Bourbonsta- f i sta tion, and was also lost at sea; th e Doris schooner __ of six 18-pound carronades which sunk n sight of Brest; the Levrette cutter of 6 guns, wrecked on the coast of America; the Seine sloop of war of 24 guns, which was driven on shore at New Zealand; the Gloire frigate of d the Victo r i eu se of 24 guns, wrecked on the coast s4end of Goree; the Greenland steam-frigate of 450- horse power, run on shore on tho coast of Africa as she was returning from the expedition against Mogador ; the Caraibe, of 450 horse power, lost at Senegal; the Pepin steam-sloop of 160-horse power; the Sphynx, also of the same power; and the Eridan of 60-horse power, wrecked at Guyana."

THE CURRENCY. 7'o THE EDITOR OF 7'HE SUN SlR,—Lord Ashburton has well remarked in his pamphlet, published last summer. that every pressure in the money mar k e t h as or i g i na t e d i n so me cause peculiar to the period, therefore requiring that the treatment should be a d a pt e d to t h e nature o f t h e complaint, in stead of being treated according to the Sangrado stein of depletion and hot water, enforced by Sir R. Peel's Bill of 1844. Lord A. states that the panic of 1825 was allayed by the . issue of five or s i x m illi ons of one pound notes, at a time when the Bank coffers were entirely exhausted, and when, had the :principle of the Bill of 1844 been then in operation, an extremely opposite system must; have been pursued, and thus the evils of panic and bank ruptcy have been incalculably extended. Whereas then, as now, all that was really requisite was some measure tending to restore confidence and supply the vacuum in the circulation, caused by the hoarding of notes as well as bullion. Lord Ashburton very Lap pity designates the restrictive clause of Sir R. Peels Bill as an attempt to regulate the currency of the country by an arbitrary piece of mechanism, instead of by human intelligence, cognizant of all the peculiari ties of the disease, and adapting its remedies to them. Such legislation is unworthy the age we live in, for if the Bank of England be bound to pay its notes in gold, it surely ought to be left at liberty to decide in what manner it is most expedient to secure the means of doing so, and when to extend, and when to diminish its issues ; whereas the Act of 1844 deprives it of all power of accommodation at the very moment when it is most essential for the public benefit. But it should possess a more than usually liberal discretion. The history of all the panics, from which the country has of late suffered sufficiently proves this, and even in 1839, when the stock of bullion was reduced to about two millions and a half; there was very little feeling of panic as compared with that which has lately been, experienced, while the Bank held above eight millions in its coffers. All this difference of intensity of suffer ing under circumstances so much more favourable, the country, therefore, evidently owes to the restrictive clausesof Sir Robert Peel's Bill. During, also, what is known as the American panic of 1837, the Bank di rectors being then quite unfettered in regard to their issues, and acting on their own discretion, without either a high rate of interest, or any great pressure, suc• ceeded in bringing back into the country so much gold, that, during the following year, they saw fit to export to New York to the extent of one million for sale, feeling themselves labouring under an " enitarres des richesses," and such will, in all probability, again be the case during the ensuing year. That it will be necessary to limit the railway expendi ture of the country, and extend these works over an increased number of years, is now admitted on all hands, and the only question for solution is, as to the best manner of doing so, namely, whether by the volun tary resolves of the companies, or by a restrictive Act of Parliament. A high rate of interest might no doubt produce much of the effect that is desired, but it does so at the cost, and to the injury, of regular commerce, and is, therefore, not a tenable proposition as a perma nent arrangement. As constitutional objections might exist in regard ti abridging the powers of railway Acts which have al ready been granted, it is desirable that the companit should be induced, for the benefit of the community, a well, perhaps, as themselves, to delay proceeding with their works, and thus prevent future derangement of U.() money market. If this is felt to be an object of impor4 tance, Government might, no doubt, procure the co operation of many of the new undertakings, by offering that such of them as should delay proceeding with their works for three, four, or five years, should be exempte,l for a like period after the opening of their respecti% lines from the mileage tax on passengers. This boon, though small, would serve as an excuse for delay, and would occasion little or no loss to the public revenue, t's it is possible that, under such an arrangement, a greater extent of railway would be completed at the end of ten years than were they all to be procee led with simulta neously, and, perhaps, after again , occasioning distress in the money market, become ultimately stopped from the want of funds.—l am, Sir, yours, &c., Brighton, Nov. 24, 1847.

Yesterday the owner of a beer- shop, in Baldwin',. gardens, named Simon Hore, appeared before Mr. T 3 white, at the Clerkenwell Police-court, charged by n,.:4. Murphy, a private belonging to the 30th Regiment of foot, with having refused to billet him, contrary to 0,0 provisions of the Mutiny Act, which subjected him to Es penalty not exceeding .51., or not less than 401. The complainant deposed that he had been at Cambridge , a recruiting party, and came to London on Thursday , his route to Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Ile obtained a bibet tube lodged in defendant's house, and on presenting it, the defendant refused to receive him, and he was obliged ti seek other accommodation for himself and another soldi, r. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked defendant what be had to say? replied that he had only been in the house a fortnigl.4 he had paid for his license, but he had not yet remit -, di it, and if he had erred it was through ignorance, as he was not aware of the consequence of his refus• Mr. Tyrwhitt said he had been guilty of a very serio i s offence. The ground of his license was to comp e l a .„0 to billet soldiers when required to d o so, and he read in n r e ference e fer exceedingen c e to t e , him that part offence, which in Mutiny tln e j t - , Act was passed every which gave the• ag - * of fli t c h te e d M th u e tin p y en A a e l penalty y e to mitigate the 133 s. trate a discretionary power penal; v. )n,eoarrl,eshshtthtahneredOws.as another h lie had his doubts upon the subject, and he hoped fie should not be doing wrong in adopting that course.
