Another meeting on the subject of the currency was held at Birmingham on Friday evening. The immediate object of the assemblage was to re ceive the report of the deputation which at a former meeting had been appointed to wait upon Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and to impress upon his Lordship, as the responsible leader of her MAJESTY'S Government, the urgent and imperative necessity of an immediate revision of the financial code, and the adoption of large and comprehensive reforms therein. The inha bitants of Birmingham are an energetic and deter mined people. 'When thoroughly convinced of the injustice and impolicy of any law, they speak out boldly, and act vigorously and efficiently. Their conduct when the Reform Bill, the most recent charter of the constitutional liberties of the people, was 'imperilled, need not now be recalled—what Englishman can have forgotten the decided course adopted when the resignation of Earl Gala' in May, 1832, and the summons of the Duke of WELLINGTON to office, gave a temporary triumph to the borough mongers, and saddened the heart of every sincere Reformer. The inhabitants of Birmingham then ex hibited the glorious spectacle of a people conscious of their own strength, and firmly resolved that no Minister should stay the' constitutional expression of their feelings. Its Political Union took the lead in those mighty demonstrations against which even the Iron Duke dared not to contend. Nine days saw the Liberal, the Reforming Ministry, restored to office with tenfold strength, which, like the fabled AVITAUS, they had gained from their prostration, and the irresistible power of the people was clearly and for ever established. The struggle then was for the purification of the House of Commons, that it might be practically what it professed to be—a real repre sentation of the people. Since that period Y important ameliorations have been intro duced. Freedom of trade has been estab lished in every ti respect, with one great although the on. Man mo y st monopolies have been swept away, pernicio us o f a il, th e mos t in jurious t o the national prosperity, still exists. This is now to be destroyed, and the pe o pl e of 13irming barn, as heretofore, h arrayed th emse l ves i n the foremost rank f or the contest. ALp det • placeailed the particulars Mr. Sc HOLM ELI), of the interview that took • the Premier, and shortly stated the substance of the that adlempoosttatuionn had been urged on his Lordship. necessary to say that the members of the perform. had determinedly and satisfactorily d duties they had been delegated to ischrged the The mere recapitulation of the statements they had made were quite sufficient to demonstrate that fact, and to entitle them individually and collectively to the marked thanks of every person opposed to the present system. It is not, perhaps, surprising that the depu tation failed in eliciting from the First Lord of the Treasury any expression of his intentions, or of the effect on him of the information conveyed, but it is not therefore to be supposed that it was without value. No hope was held out to the deputation from Liverpool, and yet within five days an important change was made — the Bank Charter Act was virtually condemned, and although the change was not adequate to the want , 4) ,„ f the country, and a rate of interest was the reb y tizsd, which, if maintained for any lengtheped period IBIZ SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENI.NG, NOVEMBER 9, 1847. must prove utterly ruinous to our mercantile and I manufacturing interests, and to the entire of the working population of the country, yet it was valuable, because it proved the inadequacy of the present laws, and that the Ministers had decided on an alteration thereof, whatever might be the cha racter of that alteration. Parliament, too, had been convened to assemble at an early period, within a fortnight from the day of the interview, and the Premier would naturally enough desire that he should be the first himself to state the nature of the proposed reforms to the Members of the Legislature. All, then, that could have been expected was a polite and courteous recep tion, a patient and attentive audience, and these were accorded to the deputation ; and if no satisfac tory or favourable answer was returned, there was at least nothing adverse to the principles which were advocated ; and we may reasonably hope that the great truths that were advanced, pointing out the inevitable consequences that must result from an ob stinate adherence to the pernicious laws now in force were not without their effect on the mind of a Minis ter really anxious (as we believe him to be) to for ward the best interests of the nation. But the people should not, therefore, be apathetic or quiescent. This is peculiarly the time for action. That there will be a change is certain, but we believe that no person can as yet state the character or extent of that change. It is by no means improbable that, after passing an Act indemnifying the Bank for the recent violation of the Act of 1844, and affording some temporary aid for the relief of the existing distress, a searching inquiry into the operation of the monetary laws may be directed, and that thus the measures from which the nation can alone hope for real prosperity may be postponed. But what neces sity can there be for this investigation—what testi mony can add to the strength of the evidence already adduced, to the truth of which every day's experience givesadditionilcorroboration—what reports ofcommit tees can impress more fully the propriety of a great and comprehensive measure of reform ? The people should be well aware that the granting a Committee is too frequently the means by which an inconvenient question is put upon the shelf, and they should lose no opportunity of calling for immediate le gislation on the subject. Every delay, too, is in the highest degree injurious to all our interests. Will our unemployed operatives;be contented to en dure privations, and to remain without earning the means of subsistence for their families, because an inquiry is carried on ? No, it cannot and must not be—at least, unless some adequate relief is imme diately granted. It is easy to speak of over specula tion as the cause of our distresses—to ascribe it to every cause but the real ones, which in the resolution unanimously adopted by the meeting have been properly described as " the cruel and fraudulent laws that regulate the monetary system, and which are in their nature a warrant of ruin against every enterprise of industry." The communications which are to be made by the Birmingham Currency Asso ciation to Liverpool and other commercial towns, with a view to obtain their co-operation, will be productive of the best results, and the pledge that one thousand pounds shall be imme diately raised and placed in the hands of the Association, for the purpose of defraying its expenses, shows that the meeting was really earnest in its determination, and resolved to spare no means to attain its objects. Many thousands, how ever, should be made applicable for this purpose. The large funds collected by the Anti-Corn-law League were amongst the chief elements of its gigantic strength, and materially advanced the period of the triumphant termination of its labours. King CHARLES ALBERT left Turin on the 3d inst. for Genoa, accompanied as far as Roubatto by the population of that city. The Augsburg Gazette of the 3d of November, under date Naples, October 24, states that the open ing of very important diplomatic negotiations was expected in that capital, as well as the arrival of an English and French fleet. The French squadron, commanded by the Prince DE JOINVILLE, was still lying in the Bay of Spezzia on the Ist. It was, however, rumoured that it would shortly sail for Naples. The Swiss Diet met on the 4th at Berne, and after a discussion of four hours adopted the following re solution, by the ordinary majority of twelve and two half-cantons (Berne, Zurich, Glaris, Soleure, Schaff hausen, St. Gall, Grisons, Argau, Thurgovia, Ticino, Vaud, Geneva, Bale country, and Appenzell ex terior) : "The Federal Diet, considering that by the decree of the 20th of July of this year, the separate alli ance of the seven cantons of Lucerne, Uri, Schwytz, Unterwalden, Zug, Friburg, and Valais has been de clared incompatible with the dispositions of the fede ral compact, and in consequence dissolved ; that the above-mentioned cantons have been rendered respon sible for the observation of the decree, and that the Diet has resolved, if circumstances should require it, to take ulterior measures. Whereas, the deputations of the cantons composing the Sonderbund have al ready declared in the sitting of the 22d of July that they did not acknowledge this decree—whereas, the above-mentioned cantons did make, before the 20th of July and after this date, extraordinary military preparations, raised field works, pro cured arms and munition from a foreign country, evidently with the intention of opposing by force of arms the execution of the decrees formed by the Diet—whereas the same cantons not only did not observe the decree of the 11th of August, by which they were seriously warned to abstain from all that could disturb the public peace, but that after as well as before this decree they have acted contrary to the decisions of the Diet, in constructing redoubts, and in continuing their extraordinary preparations— whereas access to the authorities charged with giving the instructions, and to the lawdsgemeinde of the can tons in question, has been refused to the federal representatives nominated by the Diet, circulation of the conciliatory proclamation, dictated in a spirit of confederate friendship, has been forbidden almost everywhere ; and in the canton of Lucerne this de cree has been assimilated to an offence punishable by law—whereas the propositions tending to effect a reconciliation made since then have been repelled by the same seven states ; and all the efforts that have been tried with the intention of prevailing upon them by pacific means to acknowledge and accom plish the federal duties which they had sworn to fulfil were fruitless—whereas the deputations of these cantons quitted, on the 29th of October, the Diet, as well as the seat of that assembly; and by this act, combined with the declarations made at the same time, and the military preparations in progress ever since, placed themselves in open hostility to the Confederation—whereas the compact ordains and the Diet is bound to enforce respect to the de crees it has adopted, in virtue of the powers vested in it by the federal compact, and must employ every means placed at its disposal by said compact to put a I period to a state of things menacing the internal and external security of the Confederation. "Agreeably to the articles 1,6, and 8 of the federal compact, the Diet decrees the following : " Art. 1. The decree of the Diet, dated July 20, of the present year, respecting the dissolution of the se parate league, concluded between the cantons of Lu cerne, Uri, Schwytz, Unterwalden, Zug, Friburg, and Valais, shall be carried into execution by force of arms. The recommendation with which, on Friday even ing, we accompanied our remarks upon the inaugu ration of the government of Lord DALHOUSIE over the British possessions and dependencies in Ilindos tan, is one of such peculiar importance as to justify some more explicit and detailed allusion. That re commendation, it will be remembered, had reference to the facilitation of transit throughout the Asiatic peninsula, by the laying down of a network of rail ways. We then observed that steam communication would, among a multitude of other advantages, ensure a larger amount of enterprise in the culture of our cotton plantations, and thereby render the manu facturers of the United Kingdom less dependent upon the United States. Experience, statistics, and the deductions of the commonest sense, would assure us that such must obviously be the con sequence of such a movement among the authorities of British India ; and an intel ligent correspondent of a morning contem porary has just corroborated our inferences by facts accumulated both by personal inspection and indirect inquiries. Without plunging into anything like perilous speculations, the Earl of DALHOUSIE may impart to his administration in the presidency of Bengal a lustre more brilliant and permanent than that diffused by territorial conquests. There is no longer a necessity for enhancing the power of the Company by the acquisition of new dominions : there is no longer a pretext for continuing our spoliation as conquerors, or of enhancing the magnificence of our Oriental Empire by those deeds of subjugation which have been forced upon us through the jealousies of adjacent kingdoms. The kingdom of Oude—the impoverished domain of the last successor of SUJAH DOWLAH—wiII in all likelihood be incor porated with our possessions in Ilindostan imme diately anterior to the arrival of the new Governor- General at Calcutta. One other portion of the peninsula will then remain to be conceded to us for a pecuniary consideration by its incompetent ruler, the Nizam of the DECCAN. Whether these additional acquisitions be completed in succession by Lord HARDINGE or by his successor, it is certain that they must be ultimately effected, and it is equally certain that in the present position of affairs in the East there is no immediate probability of any further extension of British authority. The casualties of time and the vicissitudes of events may, unquestionably, arouse into activity the enor mous strength of a military character, now lying dormant in Hindostan. The stupendous peace establishment still maintained in India, con sisting of no less than 194,000 armed men, may be again transformed into a war establishment; and the achievements of CLIVE and COMBERMERE may be ex celled even beyond the northern slopes of the Hima layas, but the prospect afforded to the Earl of DALHOUSIE, on the assumption of his Vice-Regal sceptre as Governor-General, is one of quiescence and of civic activity. It behoves the successor of HARDINGE, therefore, to consolidate, by sagacious legislation, the vast ter ritories which have been acquired by strategy and prowess. It behoves him to emulate the renown of his most distinguished predecessors rather by the be nignity of his enactments than by the terror of his arms, rather by the accuracy of the baladce than by the sharpness of the sword. If he aspires to inscribe his name in luminous characters in the history of the Indian Government, he must do so by civilization more than by conquests. The glory of CLIVE; the intellectual scope of HASTINGS ; the determination of CORNWALLIS ; the skill of BARLow, the precision Of WELLESLEY ; the tact of MINTO ; the suavity of MOIRA ; the diplomatic caution of BEN TINCK ; the daring of AUCKLAND ; and the consistent patriotism of HARDINGE, must be regarded by the Earl of DALHOUSIE as so many incentives to exertion, though that exertion should be restricted to the bloodless task of developing the resources and con firming the liberties of the multitude. There is no cause even for the most insatiable ambition to re pine because of the moderation of this pacific policy. The materials are glorious enough to appease even the of craving sN o f C HARLEMAGNE, or the aspiring genius °LEON. An empire extending over 1,287,483 square miles, including the tributary and protected states, containing 140 ,722,700 irtkabitants, and yielding a revenue of twenty millions sterling, is assuredly su ffi c i ent to of many generations o fcstatesmen . cu occupy the i Then British s empire in I n di a is, intruth, A LISON has observed History o as of E urope, vo l . x., p. 343), "perhaps th e most ex ARCHIBALD phe aomena in the history o f the species,"raor ext raordinary into "that vast region, the fabled sceneofstretching opulence and grandeur since the dawn of civilization, from which the arms of ALEXANDER rolled back, w hi c h the ferocity of TIMOUR imperfectly vanquished, and the banners of NADIR SHAH traversed only to de stroy."

The federal directory is requested to communicate, without delay, the present decree to the General•in-Chief of the federal troops, to the fe deral council of war, and to all the cantonal govern ments." At 8 o'clock P.m. expresses were dispatched in every direction to convey to the different cantons the decree of the Diet, and the Ambassador of France sent off an extraordinary courier to Paris. Bale city has agreed to supply a double contingent in money, and to place its artillery corps, the whole of whom are Liberal, at the disposal of the Federal Government. A flotilla, composed of three steamers and a num ber of decked boats, had been organized by the Catholic League on the lake of the four cantons. The Government of Ticino had abdicated, and in vested with the most extensive power a cantonal council of war, assisted by a military tribunal, sitting at Lugano, which, in case of need, was authorised to send commissioners to the different districts of the canton. It appears certain that the Austrians were about to establish a cordon of troops along the fron tiers of Ticino and the valleys of the Grisons, border ing on the Valteline. They had, moreover, closed the pass of the Splughen, the principal entrance of the canton of the Grisons, on the side of Lombardy. The passes through the mountains leading from Berne to the Western Valais were already obstructed with snow. That circumstance, of little importance for the defence of the 'Valais, was a severe blow to the people of Friburg, who expected to be able to com municate with their brethren of the Valais through the gorges of Gessenay. It is supposed that the first attack will be directed on Friburg. On the 3d, a battery of siege artillery left Berne by the Friburg road. The Jesuits of Friburg have enrolled their pupils in the army of the Sonderbund,' and the Jesuit Fathers march with the troops, and endeavour by every means in their power to excite their fanaticism. They have placed the canton under the prot ec ti on o f " O ur L a d y o f Vic tory ;;"and, says a l e tt er , wr i tten b y a J esu i t Father to the Univers, " Our Lady win soon see at her feet new laurels, gathered by the brave men who ar e about to fight under her aegis, wearing on their breasts the medal of her immaculate concep- of DALHOUSIE has been summoned to exercise his tion."

In 1833 the quantity of cotton imported from our Asiatic dependencies was 32,755,164 lbs., which had increased to no less than 88,639,776 lbs. in 1844. If such has been the augmentation in the teeth of so many and such expensive difficulties as have crippled the enterprise of cotton-growers in Hindostan, what would not be the increase of imports from our possessions on the construction of a variety of rail roads connected with each other, and threading the most cultivated regions of the peninsula ? What, we may ask, moreover, are not the opportu nities afforded to England by her possessions, with reference to her ultimate extrication from dependence on the cotton-growers of the United States, when we remember not merely the opening afforded to our manufactures in the markets of Hindostan, but bear in recollec tion also that assertion of Mr. PORTER (p. 770), that " there is every reason for believing that cotton of excellent quality may be raised in great abund ance "in Australia ? With an enterprising and sa gacious administration, the manufacturers of the United Kingdom may, in the end, be dependent only on the dependencies of Great Britain, and America may as well whistle jigs to a milestone as dream of holding our Government in terrorem by a threatened retention of its bales. Madrid journals of the 2d have arrived. Ros DE OLAND having resigned his seat in the Cabinet, the office of Minister of Public Instruction was offered to PIDAL, but refused by him, notwith standing the pressing instances of Queen CHRISTINA This refusal on the part of PIDAL seems to portend the downfal of the present Cabinet, a suspicion which is confirmed by the fact that MARTINEZ DE LA Rosa has been appointed Ambassador to Rome, in the room of PACHECO. It is said that there is every proba bility of a Puritan Ministry being again installed in office. ESPARTERO has refused to accept the English Embassy, which hal been offered to him by CHRISTINA and N.aavAEz, evidently as a snare. Such i 3 the rage of these worthies at the refusal of ESPARTERO to fall into the trap prepared for him, that, unable to contain it, they have dispatched an order to him to con tinue to reside abroad until further commands. There is something truly ridiculous in this exhibition of impotent malice. It is not at all probable that ESPARTERO would desire to return to Spain while such persons as NARVAEZ and CHRISTINA were i❑ power. As every Liberal elector of Madrid has been struck off the register by order of the Ministry, our readers will not be suprised to learn that the muni cipal elections have turned out in favour of the Afrancesado party. MADRID BOLSA, Nov. 2.—The Three per Cents. were done at 26k for cash, and 27 at fifty days ; the Four per Cents. at 15f for cash ; and the Five per Cents. at 16 for paper. We have recived the Paris papers of Sunday. The affairs of Switzerland are the subject of com ment in all these papers. To the attacks of the Journal des Debuts on M. OCHSENBEIN on account of his invasion of Lucerne, at the head of the Corps Francs, two years ago, and on the whole Liberal party in Switzerland, as accomplices in the alleged assassination of the peasant leader LEO, the Consti tutionnel gives the following crushing reply : " Our Government, in sending muskets and artil lery to Friburg, has made itself a corps franc as regards the Liberal cantons of Switzerland. French cannon-balls and bullets will carry death among the ranks of Berne and of Zurich. M. GUIZOT is about to cause the blood of the Swiss soldiers to be shed. M. Ocasusinurq, in his intervention against Lucerne, at least exposed himself to the danger to which he exposed others. But (says the Journal des Debats) M. LEU, of Ebersol, was assassinated by a fanatic Radical ; therefore, undoubtedly, the Radical party is a party of assassins. Such as insinuation is simply an infamous calumny. We can remember when in France a fanatic named LouYEL assassinated a Prince of the Blood Royal—the Duke of BERRY. The journals of the Jesuits and of the Ultramontanists of those days (we will not repeat their names), ex claimed that the whole of the Liberal party were accomplices of LOUYEL j they even attacked the Prime Minister of the day, M. DECAZES, who had been guilty of opposing some resistance to the re-actionary party; they told him that his foot had slipped in blood—they insinuated that this assassination might have had for its object the opening the way to the throne for a new dynasty. These hideous accusations, these abominable calum nies, are now reproduced against three-fourths of the Swiss people, against its Government, and the as sembly which it has placed at its head."

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The G otton Market at Liverpool yesterday was firmer, with a moderate supply. Sales, 5,000 bales. Prices we►•" about id. per lb. higher than on Friday last, including 4,000 bales of American at Gd. to 63-d. per lb. Sur at realised 311. to 4d. per lb. Railway Shares improved, and were at advanced prices, with a better market. Indistinctly Irdirted at yesterday morning was a fact of some important te, which later in the day b came some what confirmed, :and led to very considerable conversa tion. We must take it for granted that the fact is as stated, viz., th .lat the rich banking firm of Jones Loyd and Co., of Manchester, have intimated to their customers that they are about to com mence a new era in the banking business with which they- are connected. The leading and most intelligible ft.ct communicated is, that all who are indebted to the fi ca n arc called upon to pay the balances against them. IThis is stringent, certainly, but not a novel plan to g alt in old debts, as in cases of dis solution of pa.t.s:nership such a course is always adopted. And hence it is surmised by many that this is a e real aim, so as to let the head of the estah'k,ishment get quiet to enjoy his otium cum dignitute t from banking difficulties, with a large fortune, and, a well-earned reputation. Ilev► the new system is to 'ad.! carried on, and of what it is com posed, is a say red secret at present—at least to the public, though, in all probability the modus operandi has been communicated to the rela tives and immediate friends and most worthy of their customers. At present the affair is very much clouded in mystery, and .so we must for the present leave it. There are not stay colonial arrivals annouuced in the City this morning. • We do not hear ,of any further failures. . A fair amount of business has bee❑ done in the Consol Market, and at full prices, say a rise from 83i to 84i, and 'die Three per Cent. Consols have ob tained the same value. The premium upon Exchequer bills has advanced. to 6s. discount. The small bills are at ss. premium. Bank Stock has ruled from 184 to 187. India Bonds under 1,0001. are at 20s. discount. There is not Any variation requiring especial no• tice, either in the Foreign Funds or the Share Market today. At an adjourned meeting of the creditors of Messrs. S. Phillips and Go., now being held, a most favourable account of the concerns of the firm was brought forward, which elicited getieral satisfaction. It is too late to enter into details.
