The Bank Charter Act has again been suspended, and Parliament will b 3 summoned to meet at an early day. For weeks past we have known that these results were inevitable. We called on Ministers to adopt these obvious pre cautions, but our advice was rejected, and an enormous amount of misery and suffering has been inflicted on the industrial population, and loss on our trading and manufacturing interests. For these serious evils the Government is justly re sponsible. They delayed the indispensable relief, instructing their organs to attempt to deceive the public--to proclaim that there was no danger when the peril was imminent, and to repeat transparent fallacies and pompous platitudes, vsque ad nauseam. Who that has read the mone t try articles in the bnllionist journals even during the present week—the thunder of the Times and the shrill squeaks of the penny whistles, can avoid feeling mingled disgust and indignation at their audacity and mendacity—their appeals t 3 the pride of the commercial community, in order that they may be induced freely to sacrifice themselves fur the exclusive benefit of the moneyocracy ? We should have felt grateful to the Govern ment had this course been adopted at an earlier period, and before it was forced on them by the exigencies of the Bank. But now we do not thank them for what could no longer be avoided. They have suspended the act not to save thepeople, but to save the Bank of England, and that will be litcynife,sted on, the pub l ication of the returns in ti Oazette of this evening. It was impossible, as we stated yesterday, that they could withstand the in ternal, as well as the external drain, the de mand for gold to Scotland, and Ireland, as well as to India, China, the Continent, and America. The OVERSTONE theory has been acted on. The n relaxation only took place " i the l ast extremity, and when the danger of general confusion lead become imminent." For this " genera confasion „ we may read a stoppage of payment by the and the complete exposure of the absurdity of filo fair weather system, which cannot stand any se rious strain. The Times is manifestly sore at the total failure of its protegee, and still more so at the exp3sure of its own f u ll y an d f z l se hood. It did not at all hurt its conscience to lie on behalf of its friend, but it was exceedingly painful b be found out, to have the tinsel stripped off its orname,nti, and itself exhibited in unadorned nakedness. knows that it has deceived and misled the people, that the confidence once reposed in its dicta ha.; been materially shaken, that it is no :longer the infalli ble guide And instructor which it pretended to and the iron has entered into its very soul. Its spasmodic growls are more stentorious than usual. It promulgates the wildest notions as to what should have been adopted to meet the crisis. The joint-stock banks were to unanimously agree to refuse payment to their depositors, or rather, to use the ipsissima verbs of our exasperated con temporary, "They could have announced to the public they had combined to mitigate its COUSe tuences ; that not being able to foresee its possible extent, they had agreed to suspend for the moment any return, and that to meet the difficulty they would issue their promissory notes, at three months, bearing 9 per cent. interest, and secured by their common liability !! !" And, forsooth, " All the principal bankers and merchants, in cluding the Governors and Directors of the Bank of England, were to express approval of the wis dom of the course, and, before a few weeks had passed, the notes would be at a premium ! ! 1" Was there ever such trash uttered by any one unworthy of permanent lodgings in Bedlam ? Surely the sapient writer must well know that the moment such a course was adopted, fiats in bank ruptcy would have been issued against all the parties, and they would have had to submit to compulsory windings-up at Basinghall-street, and to have had all their directors and managers branded as felons and swindlers by the very Journal that now promulgates this valuable nostrum ! Lot the Leviathan, however, rave as it will, the Bank Charter Act of 1844 has been un equivocally condemned by its second failure, and never again can it be re-established. "It is proved to be a fair-weather-law—a law for times of steady trading and easy credit. Its provisions are like the pasteboard defences of the Chinese— strong to look at, painted with heavy masses of stones and guns of enormous power, but in reality a weakness and a sham." We " thank the; Jew," for the invective. It is your own state ment, and it truly describes the condition of your pet. It is really "a tveaknes3 and a sham." But that does not sufficiently express its failure. It is not merely useless. It is positively and actively mischievous, producing the panic it was intended to counteract, and rendering the notes inconvertible, which were always to be redeemed on demand. What, then, can be thought of the doctrine of Sir G. C. LEWIS, that "no dispensing power should be allowed to the Government I" It is the second time that the law of the laud has been deliberately and, we may add, necessarily violated. We do not blame the Government for this. But we blame them for one thing. The precau tion that would have enabled the Government to act legally was deliberately rejected by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He declared, on the 6th of February, that he was " entirely hos tile to any dispensing power." He thought it more prudent that the Executive should act when the emergency arose. It is, however, a dangerous precedent to establish. Lours NAPOLEON very properly stated that a coup-d'etat could not be twice resorted to. For as the Lords' Committee declared "the absolute necessity for such a step is its sole justification." If Govern ment is to interfere too often, the precedent may be tortured to purposes not very acceptable to the nation. We must thank our numerous correspondents for the very flattering opinions, expressed in many communications, respecting the course we have adopted, and the views we have put forward in reference to the all-important question of the cur rency. If we do not publish each, it is solely because our space would be totally inadequate. We believe that we have merited the compliments that they have so freely offered. Through good report and through evil report, we have steadily and consistently opposed the unwise and impolitic enactments, which have occasioned so much in convenience and ruin to the nation. The Derby shire Courier and the Belfast Mercantile Journal have boldly and efficiently cooperated, and there are many of our contemporaries entitled to great credit for the opinions which they have put forward. We need not say how long and how steadfastly we have persevered in the good cause—the most important of all the duties that rested on the public journalist. It may be appreciated by the commercial community, when they are at last awakened to a true sense of their position, and can understand the real diffi culties they have endured from quack theories. In any credit that may be given to us, we are proud and honoured in associating with ourselves two such honest and consistent journals as the Derbyshire Courier and the Belfast Mercantile Journal. Another telegram has been received through the East India }louse, which will be found in another pact of our impression. It shows that all is not yet quite smooth at Lucknow, that the relieving troops are, in fact, besieged in the city, and that although they have saved the beleaguers garrison and the numerous fugitives from im pending destruction, they have not been enabled to remove them to a secure position. We are told that " the insurgents are too strong to admit of withdrawal from Lucknow. Sick and wounded, and women and children, number more than 1,000." After making dis positions for the safety of the garrison, General OurnAM purposes to "retire on Cawnpore ;" add ing, that "two additional brigades, with power ful field artillery will be required to withdraw with the garrison or reduce the city." This is a sad drawback to the general satis faction occasioned by the glad tidings of the relief of Lucknow. It is, however, satisfactory to know that HAVELOCK had arrived with the much required reinforcements, just at the nick of time. We have no apprehensions as to the ulti mate result. Indeed it could scarcely have been anticipated, that all would, at once, have been coleur de rose, and that no impediment would have remained. The heroic garrison have been exhausted by their indefatigable ex.:rtions, and the awful responsibility cast upon their shoulders, and HAVELOCK, the illustrious HAVELOCK, lost no time in proceeding to their succour, with the avail able forces. We may feel thankful for what has already occurred, and fearlessly leave the issue in the hands of that Providence that has so power fully protected the sufferers. Another day will give more complete information, and that we shall patiently await, convinced that the ardent hopes of the nation will not be disappointed. Let US give the Rev. A. G. EDOUART, him cf St. Michael's, the redoubtable challenger of Exeter Hall, and the champion of the Anglican parish s t em --1 e t us give him his due. We do like puck, whether in a black uniform or a red one ; and it is not every man who ws:Juld have had the pluck to brave E%/is and Honourables, Right Rev. Fathers in GOD, Rev. Deans, and Revs. of rank and file, and not them only, but the great public, and the greater Times too----the Ray. A. G. EDOUART braves them all ! Here's indeed an ecclesiastical LEONIDAS for you, determined to hold in check the whole army of magnates, of the press, and of the plebs, and to make Exeter Halt the Tbermopylce Qf the Fine Old Parish System. Martyrs, nor-a-days, and in this country, don't stretch on the rack or burn at the stake; that's out of fashion ; public indignation is the fire which all now dread—even the COBURGS don't like it—and the press is the rack that agonises public men ; and agony it is, too, to be stretched upon it —the groans of Lord CANNING and of Lours NAPOLEON can attest that. When COB DEN, BRIGHT, and GIBSON fell, hot as was our wrath at their perversity, we yet did relish the pluck of the fellows ; and if we wish them in again, it is not only because we want them to do duty in the Indian and Representative Reform battles, but because we like a public man in these days who has a mind and will of his own. Amongst so many time-servers, a stiff old Tory or a pugnacious Peace Society man, who will turn out rather than turn, has no small value. They keep up the morale of public men, so far as pre serving examples of public consistency. That is something. If their notions are of little worth, their unflinching assertion of them is worth much. You can hardly find such men in Yankeedom ; and it is the glory of Old England, as compared with Yankeedom, that we like and honour our men who will breast public opinion. If we turn them out, we don't lynch them, or gag them, but cry out, as they retreat face towards us, "And good, good fellows, too, after all." Now, why should we not acknowledge the Rev. A. G. EDOUART, incumbent of St. Michael's, for one of the " Good fellows ?" He may be right or wrong in his law—that knotty point we leave our legal betters to settle. He may be right or wrong about the virtues of the Parish System— that we leave the advocates of the Old and the New, the " Just Word" and the " Unjust Word," to decide. We take the Rev. A. G. EDOUART, incumbent of St. Michael's, for what he is—for a parish clergyman—a clergyman who undertook the cure of the said parish of St. Michael's bccause he thought he was able to cure it—who thinks the plan of every clergyman for his own parish, and every parish for its own clergymen, the apos tolic, or, what is the same thing, the Anglican system. Did PAUL, he indignintly would ask, venture into the parish of JAMES, the incumbent of Jerusalem, till he had his sanction ? and even with that sanction the result does not quite com mend the intrusion system. Nay, Mr. EDOUART, the incumbent of St. Michael's, might fairly say the thing was permitted, providentially, to show at once the supreme parochial au thority of incumbents, and the un-wisdom of resident incumbents licensing too easily the services of alien incumbents. The Rev. A. G. EDOUART has been, no doubt, also grievously annoyed with the famous Bethell clause—that clause which SAMUEL of Oxford, and the Unifor mity Act memorialists, cannot stomach—that clause which unlocks the Church doors of the re fractory incumbent, and permits the supple in cumbent of the adjoining parish to walk in and re-marry divorced persons. Lord SHAFTESBURY and his clique consented to that clause, and the Rev. A. G. EDOVART, satisfied that the parish system is the very primal essence of the Anglican Ecclesiastical system, will read Premiers and all trimmers to Premiers, a lesson which they need to learn. Who is The Rev. A. G. EDOITART, same of our contemporaries sneeringly ask ? To which his answer is—Clericus Anglicanus sum. Lash me if you will, redouble your lashes if you like, lash me to death, crucify me—atill, my only cry is, Clericus Anglicanus sum. ,All the rights of English clergymen, of English parish clergymen, of beneficed incumbents, all the first elements of ecclesiastical government of the laity, all are re presented in my person. Treat me as you please, but one day some CICERO will make the walls of Exeter Hall tremble. The Rev. A. G. EDOUART is no doubt profoundly sensible of what is due to a Bishop, but incumbents are stuff that Bishops are, or should be, made of, and he feels what is due to the former. Let Bishops plead for Bishops, it is incumbent on an incumbent to sustain iu cumbonts. He, the Rev. A. G. EDOUART, may not be able to speak for incumbents, but he can say, NO, to those who would poach on their manors. He has a right to warn off even those who can show a license from a bishop, and he will do it. There shall be no battue preaching, at least on his preserve. Who is Mr. EDOIIART, indeed,—what signifies that ? Who was he of the Auchterarder oase—we really forget his name, and the name of the place we never heard of be fore—but it was of importance enough to break up the Scottish Kirk, or to make two churches out of one. Who was Mr. GoßHAM—never heard of before—yet did not his firmness, and HARRY of Exeter's firmness, settle for ever the question that in baptismal theology white is black, and black white—at least that so they are in the Articles and in the Prayer-book. The system then, Mr. EDOIIART may say, not my humble unknown self, is what I defend—and, defending it, assuredly I shall not be altegethir unknown to posterity—non omnis moriar. Wherever the Anglican Church extends its branches to our great Southern colonies, to the vast Eastern or far Western empire of Britain, I, the despised A. G. EDOIIART, shall live in the praises of parish clergymen. Even if lam over powered by the Premier's hosts, and by treachery; if our rights perish under new Acts of Parliament, I shall be mentioned as having headed the forlorn hope in defence of the parish system—.Exegi moni mentum aere perenulas—whioh, in the parish of St. Michael's, means, "I have immortalised my brass." And let Lord SHAFTESBURY, and the Bishop, and the Premier, think twice before they hold another Conventicle service in Exeter Hall, and and so compel Mr. EDOUART — for he means fight —to try the case. All England will ring with it, Parliament will re-echo the discussions without ; and Courts Christian and Courts un-Christian, or non-Christian at least, will have glorious work of it ! And then where is the end to be if the Spiritual keeper of every parish may not warn off intruding clergymen ? Are the SPURGBONS within the Church—and there are some, and will be more if wanted—are they to go up and down through the length and breadth of the land getting up Evangelical revival meetings in High Church parishes, and High Church exhibitions in Puritan parishes? Or are we to have High Church and Low Church, and Broad Church, and the Church moderate, all bidding for favour in the same parish ? A rural parish it may be, too, of some thousand inhabitalits. Some will say let the Bishop have ,a veto. Well, and what then? HA.Balt of EXETER enters ou his beatification, for that awful time must come, notwithstanding innumerable Anglicans' prayers —Serus in, co'um recle , ',3. Well, suppose Sr. HENRY in heaven ; much do we fear that St. - . HENRY would be powerless übDve against St. SHAFTESBURY below, for the Maker of Bishops is supposed to pray to the latter. A. Low Church Bishop would be enthroned in the seat of S. .HENRY I Forthwith the parishes of his diocese , 'would be inspected for conversion. Low Church ~ clergymen would demand entrance iuto all parishes - where the "soul-destroying" dogma of baptismal THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVgNUSTG I WOVEMBER :113, 1r8r57.4 regeneration was preached, and fierce and deadly wou dbe the fight. The successor to St. HENRY would perhaps put his veto on the High-church prosdyter, and probably on the moderate one too ; but low could he refuse one of his brethren permis sion to preach " soul-saving trutb," where he himself believed that the resident incumbent was preadiing " soul-destroying error ?" How refuse the Evangelical WIHTFIELDS and STURGEONS Of the day. Of course a Right Rev. High Church when his turn came, would reverse it all. The peace of the parish clergymen would ba at the mercy of the Bishop, and a Bishop of strong con victions would know nothing of theological mercy. But the Church of England wants some more free and easy method of coming at the million. The Dissenters preach when and where they pleaso ; in all the great towns they are getting up popular services, and the fustain jackets like it ; why should we not be at liberty to do the same.— Answer—Because you are not the same. Dis senters ask nothing from law but protection of person—you ask rank, privilege, pay, and you must submit to the requisite conditions. If the law puts you in office, and pays you, the law must prescribe the duties of your office. It must appoint you each your own work, and not let one interfere with the work of another. You cannot combine the freedom of volunteers with the fixed duties of State servants. If any of you think you can do most good by Exeter Hall work, then quit the Church regulated by law, and stick to Exeter Hall. It is not our business to defend the Hall and the Parish Church against each other. Both have their uses, but they are two very different masters with very different work. Ye cannot serve the State and individual choice cannot serve the Parish Church and the People's Hall. LATEST NEWS. INDIA. CRITICAL POSITION OF GENERAL HAVELOCK. The following telegram has been received at the East India House : " CALCUTTA, OCT. 8, 1857. " General Outram telegraphs, on the 2d inst., that the insurgents are too strong to admit of withdrawal from Lucknow. Sick and wounded, women and children, number more than 1,000. " After making disposition for safety of the gar rison, General Outram proposes to retire on Cawn pore. He adds, that two additional brigades with powerful field artillery will be required to withdraw with the garrison or reduce the city. Communication between Cawnpore and Lucknow still interrupted. " Latest news from Gwalior to 26th September.

The news previously received is confirmed. It was reported that Lucknow, which had been relieved on the 25th of September, was again be sieged by Nana with 50,000 rebels. On the night of the 21st of September the Queen's health had been drunk by the conquerors in the palace at Delhi, the cheers being taken up by Ghoorkas. Lieut.-Colonel Burn was Governor of Delhi. Besides General Neill, Major Cowper, of the Artillery, Captain Packenham, and Lieutenant Webster Bateman, were killed at Lucknow. All the city people found in Delhi were bayoneted by our troops.

MARSEILLES, FRIDAY MORNING. The Valetta has arrived. The mails leave for London at 10 o'clock. The passengers report General Havelock's posi tion to be very critical. He is surrounded by a hostile population, is in n want of provision, and is encumbered with women and children. The Bombay Presidency is said to be in a state of great agitation, and if Delhi had not fallen there is every reason to fear we should have had to de plore fresh mutinies in the Bombay army. AUSTRALIA. MARSEILLES, Nov. 12. The Vanguard reports that the Eaten, with the September mail, left Sydney on the 11th Sept., Melbourne, the 17th ; the Sound, the .25th ; Gall% the 9th Oct. ; and Aden, the 18th. Iu the night of the 20th Oct. she struck on a coral reef in the Red Sea, got off crippled, and was run ashore on the East Coast of Nubia, to keep her fr om s i n ki ng .

A prolific mine had been discovered at Aarant, 120 miles from Melbouine. No Australian mail has arrived ; it is supposed to have been taken by the mail-boat Deddak, and in that case will reach Suez in three weeks.

A collision had taken place between the Lady bird and Champion steamers, off Cape Otway, when the latter foundered, with the loss of from 30 to 40 lives. Some prolific gold fields bad been discovered at Nelson, in New Zealand ; 1,500 ounce 3 had ar rived thence at Sydney. The Vanguard brinza the Bombay mail. TRIESTE, Nov. 12. Despatches from Teheran, of the 18th of October, state that the civil war continued. Two Turcoman columns had entered the country, and the Ambassador of Russia was urging the Government of the Shah to consent to an armed intervention. This the Shah refused, and had sent an Amblssador Extraordinary to Tiflis, with autho rity to proceed to St. Petersburg in case of need. The tame arrival announces that Farouk Khan bad been recalled, and appointed Sadra9arn. FRANCE. PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING.

The Gazette du Senat of St. Petersburg pub lishes a ukase by which foreigners are henceforth exempt from the two taxes which they have hitherto paid in the two capitals of the empire, for the benefit of the municipality, viz., a duty of one per cent. which has been charged on the declared capital of those in business, and a tax of 200 roubles a-year levied on non-commercial men residing in Russia for each house or property they may possess in either city. A letter from St. Petersburg of the 3d, in the Nord, says :—" The general subject of conversa tion here is a fresh reduction, which is said to be in contemplation, in the number of civil functionaries, which is very natural, for, notwithstanding the pre ceding reductions, the number is still very consider able. In 1856 it was 114,017, of whom 82,352 had civil rank, and 31,665 were without rank. The departments of war and marine are not included in the ab)ve calculation, and their personnel is very numerous. If is thought, however, that this mea sure cannot take place at the present moment, as various arrangements must be previously made. It is also said that for the future there will be only two courts for civil causes instead of three, as hitherto. All affairs will be first brought before the tribunal of the district, which will finally decide all cases where the amount in litigation is not more than 600 roubles ; cases of higher pecu niary importance will go by appeal before the directing senate. This measure will, however, be only a partial remedy for the evils which for merly existed, but it will be a useful one. The defects in Russian jurisdiction, however, require a radical remedy, and it is only when it shall have been established on solid bases and on those of rational simplicity, that justice can be made less expensive and more equitable than it now is in Russia." THE DANUBE. A letter from Galatz of the Ist says :—" Mr. Hattley, the civil engineer attached to the Euro pein Commission at Galatz, has visited Bucharest for the purpose of forwarding his plans of the pro posed improvements on the Danube mouths to the Congress of Paris. He is strong in favour of the St. George mouth and channel. There is a differ ence of expense against this view of some two or three hundred thousand pounds, a bagatelle in such a great undertaking. In point of time the works will take as long to complete at Sulina, as at St. Ge )rge ; but when completed the St. George is ex pected to be a far superior channel. It has deeper water outside the bar, a superior channel inside the bar, a ready-made harbour and site for a free port, and is on the Turkish side of the river. Sulina'e sole advantage is that its sea bar is shorter; on the other hand, the river works are very heavy, a harbour would have to be formed inside the bar, which would be constantly filling up with mud, and have to be cleared out at a great expense every year or two ; aud, worst of all, the water outside the bar is remarkably shallow in com parison. M. Nobling, the well-known German engi neer, is in favour of the Sulina branch, and the commissioners at Galatz are, I fancy pretty hand somely divided on the subject. Russia, Prussia, and France are for Sulina. • England forS t. George's; Austria reserved ; and iurkey ignorant." SPAIN. The Madrid Gazette of the Bth contains a royal decree, by which the Queen authorises "her be loved and august husband the King" to confer on the child to whom her Majesty is about to give birth " tho insignia of the Golden Fleece, and of the Grand Crosses of the Orders of Charles 111., Isa bella the Catholic, aid San Juan of Jerusalem if a Prince—and those of the Order of Noble Ladies of Maria Louisa if a Princess." The other papers contain no news importance. The value of exports from Spain in the month of September last was 98,723,423 reals, which was upwards of 8,000,000 reals more than in the corresponding month of last year. In the total, 29,000,000 reals are set down for wine, 16,000,000 for raisins, and 11,000,000 for lead. The Etoile Belge of Brussels, referring to the opinion that the Belgian Chamber will be dissolved, observes that, according to the constitution, the electors must be convoked within forty days, and the chambers in two months. The elections, there fore, will take place between the sth and 15th of December. The chambers will L 3 assembled soon after to vote the budget, which, according to the law, must be voted before the let of January. 141. Rogier, the above journal adds, will not take up his residence at the Hotel of the Interior until after the elections for the chamber. Intelligence has been received at St. Petersburg from the coast of eircasiia, to the effect that a Russian boat, laden with troops, returning from a successful attack on Turkish smugglers at Anapa, had been blown up by an explosion of ammunition on board, three officers and 36 men being killed, and 32 men saved. Letters from Vienna of the Bth state that a Turkish colonel, Sslim Bey, had arrived there on that day from Constantinople with despatches for Prince Calimachi. The latter at once communi cated the contents of them to Count Buol. Major-General Bentinck has arrived at Claridge's Hotel, from the Continent. A rumour was whispered about yesterday in the vicinity of Downing -street that Lord Eigin was on his way to England, disgusted with his useless mission to China. We are not iu the secrets of the Foreign-office, and therefore cannot undertake to confirm the report ; but we have reason to believe that important dispatches have been addressed to "the Earl of Elgin, Alexandria," and letters, that bore on the addreFs "China," were ordered to be altered to Alexandria. —Herald.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sut,—Since my letter to you of the Bth inst., the subject of which has frequently been commended to me by parties little cognisant of the fact of my being the writer, I have had hourly experience of the necessity of some step being taken to insure the ability of Bankers to discount paper represented by undoubted names, and . full security in addition. The Times and Globe would endeavour to persuade their readers that no difficulty is experienced in the negotiation of such paper 2 • but the Public are the best judges upon such points, and the events of the first two days should be evidence enough that the PANIC is spreading, and that if it increases in M tensity during the next few days, Lombard-street, and Banks, bothprivate and joint-stock, throughout the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, will be found shaking in their shoes, with securities, previously considered undoubted, worth, in many instances, little more than the original value of the Stamps, impressed upon them. This climax at tained, ministers will probably send for the " He brew Millionaire" and Lord Overstone, and a few of the Cormorauts of the Industry of the Millions, and ask them whether the suffering patients are not so far reduced (in number alive, or in a dying or dangerous condition) as to render it advisable forthwith to call in a physician, in fear that the plague may become universal, and past the aid of Medicine. Further, in the course of a very brief period, the "hard-fisted million" may, finding that their employers calmly and sensibly inform them of the reason why they are obliged to throw them and their families upon the parish for daily bread, meet, discuss, and act, in a manner which may make even the Prime Minister's salary unsafe from one quarter's day to another. I am intending to argue calmly and dispassion ately. The subject of my argument is not an irri tation of a day, a week, or a month. lam known to have held opinion that, under the Bank Act of 1844, this crisis was due, and I have said why and how it would arise, and the banks and eminent firms who have unfortunately succumbed, are known to have been held in suspicion by me. For since the American crisis assumed a severe form, and the requirements of the East India Company, (no secret to me and my friends), were evidenced by their first borrowing one million of money. But when one joint-stock bank lent them nearly the same sum, " for two years fixed," I saw that our gold was fated to lea veus, and the Bank of England's position, and the consequent discredit, hoarding, and panic, was no longer a suspicion, but a fact in prospectu, and that very near at hand. I care not how relief is afforded. The " Cur rency Question" I have battled and studied in vain. No man yet born could solve it satisfac torily to his neighbour ; but this I do say, that if such relief is not afforded to the commercial classes quickly, we shall sea such distress throughout our lately happy and contented population, as will cause many a pane. and feeling of regret in the bosoms of the very highest in the land. I shall not enter into the particulars of what I have to-day heard from various parts of the country ; if I did so your columns would be too much entrenched upon. But " Who is to blame this time ?" The plot thickens, and the healthy and robust, at the funeral of a friend, who died last week of a sudden and un expected " disease of the chest," may exclaim with propriety to-day, "This may be my fate next weeks God alone is my refuge and strength."—l am, sir, ' your most obedient servant, " CIVlg BRITANNICUS." TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. am not about to decide whether the opi nions you have so long advanced, on the currency question, with so much consistency are correct or not ; nor do I consider that those who may have sagacity to detect faults in a system are, on all occasions, bound to point out a remedy. When opponents are evidently inconsistent, the probability that their arguments are unsound, is very materially strengthened. It is not many days since we read (in the paper which so much influences the public mind) that the advance of interest to 10 per cent. was quite im material ; no sound firm could be affected by it ; it was only paying the extra rate for a short time ; they could have their good bills discounted as usual ; and in fact, any houses who could not stand this test, must be such, that the sooner they were got rid of the better. In this short time (less than a week) failures have taken place, of parties described in the same paper as of long standing, and highly respectable ; assur ances are almost given that there cAn be loss even tually ; so of course, they are not amongst the un sound houses it was so desirable to get rid of. The amount for which the houses referred to (beginning with Naylor and Co., of Sheffield, and ending with Sanderson, have liabilities exceeding fifteen millions sterling. If you can assist in making these matters clear to the public, it may be of essential service, as throwing a light upon what is dark and mysterious to 99 per cent, of the commercial world ; and, it is probable, it may be the means of clearing the per ceptions of some of the monetary world. I am, Sir, your humble servant, A CONSTANT READER. Pall-mall, Nov. 12, 1837. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BUN. SIR, --Your condescension in yielding to my re quest (pro Bono publico) to spare room for the in sertion of my letter on the subject of the present alarming state of our monetary system, and conse quent panic, which appeared in your valuable and widely-extensive circulation, induces me to throw in my mite of advice without an unnecessary hour's delay in this very critical juncture : I allude to your impression of yesterday, the 12th inst. The • distressing state this country is in induces me to address the nation through an appeal to Messrs. Palmerston and Sir Cornewall Lewis—th e f ormer as the Prime Minister of her Majesty Queen Vic toria, the other as Chancellor of the Exchequer, the purse-bearer of the nation. I first tell my Lord Palmerston it is his imperative duty to convoke a Ministerial Council, and issue an order addressed to the governor and directors of the Bank of England to suspend cash payments for six months, or a national bankruptcy will be sure to happen in a couple of weeks, spreading the most frightful and disastrous ruin. My Lord, I appeal to your recollection, that early in the last session 1 not only wrote to you to advise what should be done to ease the country from its heavy distress, arising from the costly expenses of the Crimean scaudalously-conducted war, but I showed you how to reconvert one-third of the national debt into a copious currency, as GO per cent. had been, and by which our debt from the be ginning had been contracted. I repeated this ad vice and warning thrice in three weeks, and left each letter at your lordship's residence in Piccadilly, in person, to assure myself there should be no delay in their reaching your hands. My lord, I am a titled man like yourself, and my feelings as regards contumely aro as keen as your own, or any man's, let his station and title be ever so superior to my own. Your lordship never condescended even to acknowledge either of these three letters. In my addresses to Lord Aberdeen for six months on the subject of our National Gallery neglect, before the appointment of Sir C. Eastlake as direc tor, I told this haughty Scotch Nobleman that he placed himself above the Queen, for he took no notice of a number of letters 1 addressed to his lordship, but her Majesty, our Queen, always ac knowledged those addresses (I fearlessly addressed) within fourteen days. You, Sir Cornewall Lewis, answered my first letter, showing you how to convert one third of the national debt into a sinking currency, to expire in 25 years, 30 years, and 35 years. You requested me to submit my plan to paper, urging the old hacknied excuse, you had no time to spare. Of course, high officials, who can not rise at 7 in the morning, and who dawdl e a b out doing nothing till the clock strikes 12, when you put on you hat and trot off to the Treasury, and remain there three or four hours, seeing what the real official subordinates aro doing ; the rest of the thy being apart, most probably, in reading leading articles in divers morning papers; for which oblig ing services you receive p er h aps 5 ,6001. a-year. 1 told you, sir, that it was impossible to comply with your request; for the preparations in, extenso for explaining all the working of my project filled a book of considerable size. That I was sure such a volume of writing and calculations would alarm you, be cast on one side, and treated with admission to the official basket to be consumed, but if I were allowed an interview fur half an hour, I should be able to explain the whole matter with ease. Being denied the privilege of speaking to you, I recall to your memory that I would yield and place in your hands all that I had written, on conditiou that you would give me your official promise (conditional) that if you adopted my project, you would reward rue for years of intense thought, and weeks of toil in writing. This you said you could not do. Yon could, sir, absorb the labours of no small genius, adopt his enlightened view of what must be done to cure the dunderheads of the bullion-ruinous fancy. In using these words, they are prophetic ; for our stupid, our more thanstupid love of a golden currency, is now shown to be the nation's ruin. I shall recall to your reco lection my prophecy, sent to you in the form of a letter, of the exact course you would take to meet the money wants of the Treasury, to pay some of the frightful expenses of the atrosious Crimean war. I wanted you full three weeks before the commencement of the ses sion before the last one. I appeal to you, sir, if I did not show you your plan as clearly and as exactly as if you had done it yourself. - I told you, and I repeat it, that you had no genius any more than either of the Chancellors of the Exchequer since the time of Walpole in 1700, who have been legion, whose only mental resource was loan upon loan, heaping taxation upon taxa tion, till the hurthen became intolerable, and- re peals of many taxes and modifications of others were forced from Ministers prime and Chancellors of the Exchequer sublime. I told you, sir, I could tell you how to convert the whole debt into a currency —reward the holders of 300 millions of the 3 per cents. ; give them the reward in the form of a bonus, paying off the said amount, at par, 1001. for 100 stock, which secured currency should be ex tinguished in 25, 30, and 35 years. The funds were at 94 at that time, not 10 percent. lower. I now appeal to you, my Lord Palmerston. I proclaim that you must instantly stop cash pay ments by the Bank of England, and issue 11., 21., and 31. notes, or the commercial classes of the country will be ruined, and tens of thousands of trelesmen and people. You will have riots, and butchery by legalised authority will fall upon those who rise to demand fair play. I tell you more ; and old as I am, eighty-three and eight months, I shall live to see a well-organised paper currency ; and if gold must be issued to please certain weak intellectual desires, it must have one-fourth of alloy iu it, useful to our nation only, which will not be coveted by the gold-grasping conjurors of the Con tinent. Sir Robert Peel's complimentary bill of 1844, to finish his bill of 1819, of infamous memory —of awful memory—consummated his ignorance of the money subject. A gold currency can never suit and fit such a great commercial country as our own. Dr. Frank lin, who published his memorable work on a paper currency iu 1827, February the 27th being the date, pointed out to the American people the vase superiority of an established credit, and a paper currency based thereon, with a metallic reserve as a security. He, lik e r. President Van Buren, shows the superior advantage to such commercial and manufacturing countries as England and Ame rica, the vast superiority of a cheap currency to an expensive one, of gold. I ask your lordship to tell me, if you can, what currency 'of either gold or sil ver, or even a base coin means ? I never found more than a dozen or two clear-headed men who were able to explain it. Without the remotest in tention to insult or offend your lordship's feelings, I will undertake to explain. A sovereign being stamped with the portrait of the reigning sovereign assumes by an agreed Royal privilege, a certain value, whether pure or alloyed. That is the first position. The next and real repre sentative of any coin, be it gold, silver, or lease, is labour paid for in a concentrated form. The labour to procure gold, constitutes its first value. The labour must be paid for ; and when the gold so had—whether Mexican, Califor nian, or Australian—is shaped into coin, it passes from hand to hand as payment for fresh toils and labours, and so on, so long as men or females are paid for their services. Thus, some of the gold coins represent tables, chairs, or carpets paid for making. First, the hewer of the mahogany tree is paid, then the trimmer, then the transporter, then the shipper to any country, then the broker, then the timber merchant, and then the cabinet maker, and, lastly, the dealer in furniture. Se that the great mahogany.tree had at first only prospective value, but no value at all until felled and shaped for transport ; in fact, no more value than a thistle or a bramble. Can any philosopher dispute this truth ? I arose at four in the morning to write this letter. I labour for the love of my country. I can get ne remuneration. I toil not for it, or any other re ward than a people's acknowledgment, that I toil for the good of the millions. My maxim is, follow' Jesus Christ's answer to those who asked himto plain his religion; He sublimely replied, "Do unto others as thou wouldest they should do unt° you"—that is my religion. I sacrifice, willingly time and money to obey that Divine and simple precept. None but God could ever have uttered this glorious injunction. The going thrice a day to church to mutter, as green parrots do, a set of forms of Prayer, obeying the clerk in responses ; turning up their eyes, and half moaning, kneeling, and performing the true hypocrite, hoping to de ceive the Almighty as they deceive themselves, and on Monday mornings recommence their frauds and vile doings, trying to pass as honest men, with moral language to varnish their dishonest dealings. My next, I shill address, as I do this, to our bold Prime Minister, Lord Palmerston, and the com mon-place Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Corns wall Lewis, in which I hope to unfold satisfactorily my grand project of reconverting one-third of our debt, at a time, into an expiring currency; show iug that every holder of 1001. stock shall have it counted to a value of 4001. ; robbing nobody, hurt ing no one, but conferring a blessing on the whole people of happy and glorious Old England. I am, &c., Professor BARON VON REINAGLE, C.E. Alarylebone-street, Regent-circus, Nov. 13, 1857. THE BANK OF FRANCE.
