If the funds at present subscribed do not admit of this; rather than lose the cable on explanation of the plan proposed (which every practical man of common sense must then at once sae the actual necessity of adopting), there can not be a doubt your shareholders and the public would readily supply the additional capital required. Although you may not deem it advisable at once to entertain my proposition, in averring that I feel con vinced some such improved method will have to be adopted shortly, I hope you understand the great work contemplated carries with it my best wishes for its suc cessful accomplishment, by any means whatsoever : the preceding experience-based prognostication originating only in a conviction on my part that, with present means and appliances, the difficulties you have to e#counter amount to actual physical impossibilities.

The monetary reformers who have laboured long and hard to impress upon the public mind the in consistencies, the injustice, and the anomalies, of our monetary system, which have arisen entirely from the encouragement of a monopoly enj9yed by a single Joint-Stock Company, will be glad to hear that a meeting will be held at the London Tavern, on Wednesday next, to take into consideration the best means for bringing the matter before the public. We need not express our surprise at the proposed step ; for we are more surprised that, after the condemnation of the present system by nearly every Chamber of Commerce in the: United Kingdom, no attempt has hitherto been iznade to express the views of commercial men in some con centrated form of action. They have stooid aloof until there appears a storm in th e horizoia which threatens them with calamity.- It is trut, there are to be found here and there a few gentle men, who, like the honourable member for Peterborough, can see nothing but sbnshine dazzling before them : to whom trade and commerce are represented in the most glowing terms. " Look at our exports," these gentlemen exclaim ; " every succeeding year and every month our commerce is expanding ; look at our immense consumption of every kind of provision, what greater proof can we have that all goes on well ; and that the vessel of the State. is sailing onwards in safe water with a favourable gale to assist her 7" We look to no such facts, though true they may be, for a correct esti mate of our position ; and we hesitate not to say that he who will venture to affirm that trade and commerce are flourishing, or that the industrious classes are in a thriving condition in this country, knows nothing of the truth, or that he wilfully misrepresents it : it signifies, therefore, but little on which horn of the dilemma he is placed. " Well, what has all this to do with the Bank Charter ?" some will say. "Money, like all other commodi ties, is worth what it will bring ; and they who deal in it have a right to all they can get for its use." This is the creed of the mere capitalist ; and any attempt made to refute it is as useless as talk ing to the winds. It has become a national prin ciple ; and life, religion, morality, and humanity, all sink before its unbending laws. Well, but what has the Bank Charter to do with this ? A slight glance at the subject will be sufficient to let in a little light upon the matter. The people who occupy the British islands are an industrious people : they toil, when employment can be found, at every de scription of tabour ; aud the productions of their 'skill are scattered over all the known regions of the globe. By the constancy of their energy, we are placed in the possession of every article of necessity and of luxury that the world produces ; and it is, we believe, doubtful whether a famine has ever existed at any time amongst such a class; without its being the result of some interference with the laws of nature and of justice. It only requires . a simple thoughtto show that under asystem of iudus trial freedom such as this, the power of supplying the wants of man is illimitable. How, then, is it, that in such a country periodical cycles of misery, distress, aud want, are continually recurring ? Let us look a little further into this, and we shall find that there exists an intermedihte power, which is ever at work to produce this state of things ; and men become so accustomed to it, that they regard it as the result of some natural law, over which man, with all his intellectual superiority and su premacy, has no control. This is precisely the case with the distress that periodically visits the indus trious classes of this country. It is not traced to t its source through the various channels in whichs is generated. It is the monopolizing t h ch a aracter which is found in our money that laws per meated into every class of society ;f andoproduction ofno matter how great, or extensive the may be, such is the nature powers these their power, that they can and lik e Alexander the absorb the industry of nations in their g Great, regret that ;hihrasseyp.ave not more to consume. It is to these laws that we must trace a famine in 1 the milt of abundan ce ; and a variety of disorders I that frequently occur to disorganize the commercial . and industrious classes of h th e e community. These laws are now exercising . t ir influence over the most wealthy and industrious classes of this . king do4; and will finally succeed in throwing thou sands of our most skilful artizans out of employ. If we look to the manufacturing districts, what is the state of things there ? The mills in, and around Manchester, we are told are working only forty hours per week. Do the well-to.do in life know what this means 7 At Bradford, the rates offered by purchasers for goods for exportation, are below the present cost of making. At Nottingham, the demand for hosiery for the home trade is completely stagnant ; and " shipping orders," says the Not tingham Journal, are like " angels visits, and far between." At Leicester, mills are working short time. This is an outline of our trade in textile fa brics ; but the same condition is felt in almost every other branch of industry which has not the same means of giving it publicity. Trade circulars of all branches continually speak of a " stagnant trade,'? , because prices for manufactured goods . cannot be obtained. But why not? The whole secret of/hese low prices is found in a restriction of the circulating medium, with an expanded trade ; with raw mate rialsadvancing, and reduced wages ; with dear Total in February .. „ . 9,986 f which 3,379 were new cases, the remainder (still under treat ment) having been admitted previously. The clergy of all denominations have unlimited access to the patients. Heavy expenses are Inevitably Incurred in affording such exten- sive relief. The Committee, therefore, earnestly entreat the aid of he public. The management of the Hospital is in the hands of 30 Governors, yearly elected from the general list of subscribers, at the Annual ,eneral Meeting in January. A Board is held every Thursday, a, 4 o'clock (Rev. J. B. Owen, Chairman), to conduct the business, when any subscriber may attend, If so disposed, the Board being at all times desirous of receiving suggestions or giving explanation. The Hospital is not endowed, but is wholly dependent on volun tary contributions and legacies, which are received by the Treasurer, John Alasterman, Esq., M.P., Nicholas-lane; also by Messrs. Coutts snd Co.; Drummond and Co.; Berries and Co.; Ransom and Co.; Prescott, Grote, and Co. ; Smith, Payne, and Co.; Glyn and Co. ; Jones Loyd and Co.; Carclay and Co.; Denison and Co.; Williams, [leacon, and Co.;Overend, Gurney, and Co. ; Nisbet and Ce. , Ber ners-street ; Masicrman and Co.; and at the Hospital.

The following appears in yesterday's Moniteur : " The Minister of the Interior has just addressed to the prefects the fullowing circular : "Paris, May 30; 1857. _ . "Monsieur le Prefet,—By the terms of the con stitution and the decree of May 29, the Legislative Corps, nominated in 1852, has finished its mission. The country is now about to elect its deputies anew. The Emperor calls to the ballot-box nine millions of electors, and demands from all of them a free and loyal vote. In this case, for the guid ance of yourself and of others, it is necessary you should well know what the attitude of the govern ment will be, and what principles will direct its conduct. A strong and popular government says clearly what it thinks and what it wishes. As for the elections, what the Emperor desires is the free and sincere practice of universal suffrage. The electoral lists have been dawn up largely and liberally. Every one having the right has been able to get himself admitted upon them : 9,521,220 citizens have been registered in them. On the day of election the vote will be secret, and the ballot boxes will be opened in the sight of all. The truth fulness and independence of the vote are therefore guaranteed. "In presence of this liberty assured to every body, and when candidates and electors can all pro claim their preference the government cannot alone remain mute and indifferent. It will clearly tell the country what names have its confidence and what seems to deserve theconfidence of the people ; as it proposes the laws to the deputies, it will pro pose the candidates to the electors, and these will make their choice. " Distinguishing themselves by a devotedness already old and tried, and rallying round a dy nasty that constitutes the glory and safety of the country, a great number of men, eminent by their fortunes, their services, or the just consideration that surrounds them. have solicited the official can didateships. But France has not forgotten the words of the speech from the throne at the opening of the session of 1857. 'Since this session is the last of your legislative career,' said the Emperor to the deputies, 'permit me to thank you for the as sistance, so devoted and so active, that you have afforded me since 1852. You have proclaimed the empire ; you have taken a share in all those mea sures that have re-established order and pros perity in the country ; you have energetically sustained me during the war ; you have shared my griefs during the epidemic and the scarcity ; you partook of my joy when Heaven gave me a glorious peace and a well-beloved son ; your loyal co-ope ration has permitted me to establish in France a form of government based on popular will and interests. It was a difficult task to fulfill, and for which true patriotism was required, to accustom the country to new institutions. To substitute for the license of the tribune, and the contests that led to the fall or rise of ministers, a free but calm and serious discussion, was a signal service ren dered to the country and to freedom itself, for liberty has no. enemies more formidable than the excesses of passion and violence of speech.' . . . This striking testimony summed up six years of devotedness ; therefore, saving some exceptions commanded b ti special necessities, the government has deemed it just and politio to present for re election all the members of an assembly which has so ably seconded the Emperor and served the country. " In the face of these candidateships openly ac knowledged and resolutely sustained, the opponent candidateships may freely come forward. "Our legislation respecting the distribution of the voting tickets has lately been calumniated, nevertheless the rules upon, that subject are simple and liberal. During the 20 days preceding the election every candidate that shall have submitted to the formality of legally depositing a copy, signed by himself, of his circulars, profession of faith, or voting tickets, will be able, without the need of any other authorisation, to have them advertised and distributed in perfect liberty ; every elector who, not satisfied with writing his vote, or causing his vote to be written, and thus exercising his in dividual right, shall be desirous of making a can didateship known, may freely distribute the voting tickets for it, if upon one of these tickets, legally deposited, the signature of the candidate records his assent. Assuredly, with these conditions, it may be said that the party proposing to be elected, and the elector, will have complete freedom, the one to come forward, the other to express his choice, and propose him to his fellow-citizens. If, nevertheless, the enemies of the public peace should think to find in this latitude an opportunity of making a seditious protest against our institutions, if they should attempt to convert into an instru ment of disorder or scandal, you know your duties, Monsieur le Prefet, and justice would also know how not less severely to perform hers. But these excesses will not take place ; should they be at tempted, their suppression will inflict no injury on the freedom of universal suffrage ; thrice conse crated by him, the Emperor always invokes it with confidence. When in 1851 and 1852 eight millions of votes delivered to him the crown and the desti nies of the country, there was in that remarkable vote the love blended with pride which France experienced at the very bottom of her heart for the dynasty of the Napoleons. Between her and them there was the feeling of an indis soluble union of glory and misfortune ; there was also the fear of anarchy and the hope of a strong government friendly to the people. At the th e re is the same popular pre s ti ge aroundpresent dap the Buonapartes, but for more than six fruits a of war prosperity and t h eenhanced years there has b een a fruitful and glorious admin istration, peace, an irameri the se s material p wonderful sentiment of our national t grea ness. The reality' has surpassed the hopes. Such results which ought to convince and unite all elevated minds are perfectly understood by the loyal I b a ourers of our fields, and bythe intelligent km wor en of our towns. That great mass of laborious men who form the wide basis of Universal suffrage have a profound convic tion both of the incessant care of the Emperor, for themselves, and .of the great things which he is doing for the Colll.ll` zy. Call them all to the ballot box, Monsieur le Prefect ; they made - the Empire, and they love it ; they would incase of need know how to defend it. Full of confidence in the man of their choice, they rely upon him, and would wil lingly abstain from taking part in the voting, which in the regular working of the constitution is periodically required of them ; urge them to come and name their deputies : be sure and tell them, that it is necessary top rove once more by the ma s s of their votes the full strength of that government which they have founde d. The imperceptible mi nority of the hostile par ties, if it dares to come for ward, will be drowned in this immense popular manifestation, and it will be for the world a grand and eloquent spectacle to see nine millions of elec tors, in this country once so easily disturbed, com ing peaceably at the voice of the Emperor, and be stowing upon their deputies for six years more the mission of faithfully seconding him in his constant efforts for the glory and pro sperity of France. " These general considei•ations will guide you, Monsieur le Prefet, in direr sting the electoral ope rations. Detailed instructions will be shortly sent to you, and should special circumstances occur you will have to refer to me about them. " Receive, Monsieur le Prefet, the assurance of my most distinguished consideration. " The Minister of the Int erior, BILLAIILT. ~, LONDON, MONDAY grgNING, JUNE 1, 1857.

Established May, 1844. Empowered by Special Act of Parliament. THIS Company was Established in 1844, for the purpose of opening to the puhlie an easy and unquestion ably safe mode of Investment, with a high and uniform rate of Inte rest. The plan of the Dank of Deposit differs entirely from that of ordi nary Banks in the mode of employing capital—money deposited with this Company being principally lent upon well secured Life rnterests, Reversions in the Government Funds, or other property of ample value. This class of securities, although not immediately convertible. it is well known yields the greatest amount of profit, combined with the most perfeet safety. Further, Loans made by the Company are Coupled with a Policy of Assurance on the life of the Borrower, or his nominee, equal in amount to the sum lent, effected at a rate of premium which secures the validity of the Policy against all contingencies, in itself constituting a valuable instrument of collateral sedurity. _ Thus depositors are effectually protected against the possibility of loss, whilst the large and constantly increasing revenue arising from the premiums on Assurances thus effected yields ample profit to the Company, and provides for all the expenses of management. DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS may be opened with sums of any amount, and ncreased from time to time. at the convenience of depositors- A receipt, signed by two Directors, is given for each sum de posited. • RATE AND PAYMENT OF INTEIMX. The rate of Interest since the establishment of the Company has never been less than five pc r cent. per annum ; and it is confidently anticipated that the same careful and judicious selection from secu rities of the above description will enable the Board of MApagement to continue this rate to depositors. The Interest is due and payable in January and July, on the amount standing in the name of the depositor on the 30th of June and 3' st of December, and for the convenience of parties residing at a distance may be received at the Branch Offices, or remitted through Country Bankers.

The folio wing particulars with reference to the construction of tide frigate may interest our readers:—She has four tubular boilers fitted athwart ships, with upright tubes, the water lying around them. These boilers were constructed on a new plan by the chief engineer of the United Stat es' navy, and were made at Baltimore; this:is the first ship, with the exception of the Merrimac, which has been fittod With them. Her average consumption of coals (of which she_stows away 1,000 tons) is about 35 tons for the 24 hours, which amount produces an aver- . age speed of 10, knots an hOur under steam alone. Her cylinders are 6 feet in diameter, 20 feet stroke, carrying from 121 b. to 181 b ., pressure of steam, 151 b." being tho average ; ,average revolutions, 15 or 16. She has several officers on board, who have came over to this country to render their assistance in laying down the great Atlantic telegraph cable. The Agamemnon, Master Commander C orneline T. A. NOddall, reported as having left for ;Birken head, was recalled when between the Glreat Nore/ and the Mouse, in consequence of atelegraphic de spatch from the Admiralty, ordering her to remain at the Nore until further orders. She is to take in that portion of the cable intended to have been taken by the Niagara, and the St. Jean D'Acre is to proceed (when ready) to Birkenhead. The Cyclops paddle-wheel steam-frigate, Lieute nant-Commander Joseph D tyman heerness on Saturday last, for the purpose of taking sound ings of the line along which it is proposed the great Atlantic telegraph cable should be laid d'Own. The Cumberland, 70 guns, Capt. J. B. Dickson,. left Sheerness yesterday, in obedience to a tele graphic order from the Admiralty, for Portsmouth, where she is to remain until her full complement of men has been obtained. A general muster and inspection of the steam squadron squadron of reserve at Sheerness will take place to day. 7 . `A.YING DOWN THE TRANSATLANTIC TELEGRAPH CABLE. ne following i statempnt has been addressed to Nireators of. the Atletic Telegraph Company b ut. FratilkslHigginsofi; Esq., R.N. : 7 * le The importanuektne subject on which I address you will account far, and excuse this exclusively business communiciors. I have no desiretoThonsiderBd one of the ovariise but all men of common sense aft xperiern constitutes the wisdom of the practically ant. More than 40 years have elapsed since I b a seamen ; and from the time electric telegraph les were invented the best means of laying them down appeared to me an object which merited practical study, and mature professional consideration. When the earliest abortive attempts were made with the firstcable bet ween Dover and Calais, in 180, I pointed out in a correspondence with the Govern ment offices (still producible) the inadequacy of the means then used, and at that period invented an apparatus (registered as a design, December, 1851, as can be ascertained at the registration of designs office), of which it may be sufficient to say; that its details have been more or less adopted in the fittings of all steam vessels since employed for laying down such cables, without recompense to the inventor. 1 With this, however, I am aware you have no thing whatever to do, and merely mention the fact to prove the extent of my labours and research ; only further premising that, although the ma chinery of my invent'on, properly modified to meet varying circumstances, would tasily have accom plished in every former instance the desired end, within comparatively short distances of one or two hundred miles, it, as well as other proposed me• thods, will necessarily require a different applica tion of, principles and.ppwor_s j and many additional indispensable adjuncts, to - provide against any at 'tempted laying down a cable between Britain and America turning out a complete failure, attended by the inevitable logs of all such portion of the cable as may be incautiously submerged, for rea sons hereafter specified—meaning, of course, if the methods heretofore practised, and apparently about to be repeated in the Niagara and Agamemnon, are persevered in. I beg leave at the same time to state my thorough conviction of the praCticability of your undertaking, provided the necessary additional means are adopted —having myself in 1851 repoVed to the govern ment th it a magnetic telegraph could be laid down with safety and facility between any two given places, however diAant, and offered personally to superintend the operation, as can be proven by offi cial correspondence of that date, which I am ready to produce to verify the facts. With proper mate rials properly applied I retain the same conviction still, and am therefore deeply interested in your ultimate success. But no man, or set of men, how ever zealous, skilful, or experienced, can accom plish that which is practically impossible, and such I aver will be found any attempt made to lay down a cable between Britain and America, in the old, pay and go, drum, stopper, compress, and stick-it out style, which has heretofore effected the work undertaken in various instances, even for short comparative distances, with so much difficulty, and never without serious and expensive mishaps. I conclude you have not based any of your cal culations as to distance, or the track to be followed in laying down your cable, upon soundings recently said to have been obteined at perpendicular depths (in fathoms) of one and a half, two, and two and a half miles. Because, without imputing to officers in our own navy (who allege they have sounded at seven and eight miles depth !), or to the members of other services, more than having themselves been deceived, in supposing they have so struck sound ings, it will be conclusive to point out, both modern science and actual experiment demonstrate, that long before any such depths could be reached, the deep-sea lead (or any heavier weight which a lead line would be strong enough to haul up again as it neared the surface) must necessarily have displaced its own specific gravity, in so` dense a medium as water, and consequently at once then stop, remain ine suspended, equilibrated, or, as usually termed, afloat, all line payed out afterwards being merely slack taken by the vessel's drift or motion, and the line's own triflingly greater weight than water, wherein rope will coil and sink, until either drawn after the ship hor4ontally, or the lead-line itself gradually reaches by descent its own weight-point of flotation. I have myself seen a heavy gun (a cannon) dis mounted, slung, and lowered, at first by a hawser in a snatch-block, from a vessel's mainyard properly secured, decreasing the size of the rope as the gun descended, until the rode or line became quite slack, and then the submerged cannon was towed some distance by a boat, hanging only by a piece of two inch rope, proving the gun had indeed displaced its specific gravity, but not that soundings were ob tained. The inference intended to be drawn, there fore, is, that there need be no apprehension of your cable chafing on the bottom in greater depths than two hundred fathoms, as its weight will not, with the surface presented, immerse it more, in oceans such as the Atlantic, whose average depth may be estimated at about four miles ; consequently extra ordinary provision for weighing, or precautions against chafe, need only be made at the extremities as the ends approach the land ; whilst as regards security by submersion against accidentg, two hun dred fathoms down will be as effectual as if your cable could sink to the antipodes. The selection of screw-propelled ships to ]ay your cable down would certainly appear not to be the best, as the laziness and known uncertainty with which screw vessels draw astern, or make a sternboard, presents an obvious though not per. haps insuperable objection to their employment, for such purposes ; whilst paddles can be backed to regulate or obviate a strain at any instant with certainty and precision. After the cables are joined there cannot be a doubt that every, possible care will be taken to have plenty of slack ranged, and all other means adopted to pay out and give cable as required ; that the officers will also, only very gra dually, get way on the Niagara and Agamemnon ; but with all such precautions, it must be remem bered, that to the adverse momentum of two mov ing bodies of, say 4,000 tons each, y our cab's on the slightest check would present no sensible resi stance, but be as inevitably carried away as a cobweb ex tended between two cart-horses drawingindifferent directions. The Agamemnon and Niagara will un doubtedly do, to lay out the cable, when all addi tional requisites are furnished ; but in future cases paddle steamers should be preferred, for the rea sons defined. The principle likewise appears inexplicable upon wbic'h it has been decided to send the cables to sea, join, and then ran them out from a central point—as seamen STATIONS OFTgE BRITISJJ (From " Colbirn's Erni [Where two places are - thentiO which the Depot of the, Ist Life Guards—Regent's perk --• • ' 2d Do.—Hyde -park Royal Horse Grds. --Windsor Ist Dragoon Gimicls--Efeter 2(1 Do. —Canterbury 3d Do —Canterbury ' ' 4th Do.—Slieffleld- • -,(ith Do.

Matthews, of the Chatham division, for long service and meri torious conduct. The division having been formed into square, Col. E. A. Parker, the commandant, advanced to the centre, and, addressing the troops, exhorted them to imitate the example of Sergeant Matthews, whose good conduct had secured for him the highest mark of distinction which it was in the power of the Admiralty to bestow upon him. The gallant Colonel then presented the medal to Ser geant Matthews, who has been 22 years in the corps of Royal Marines, and who only lately returned, in the Winchester, from China, where ha had been serving in the Bittern since 1852.
