LONDON, MONDAY. OCTOBER 4, 1847. Peaceful as is the intelligence latterly received from our Oriental possessions, we are not inspired with a more secure confidence in the permanence of the pre sent tranquillity than the dwellers upon the green slopes of a burning mountain. The latter are as much accustomed to the eruptions of the volcano az they ere to the blooms and verdure by which the calcined soil is periodically covered, and the lulls of one interval are only enjoyed with the breathless in terest of men who are satisfied by experience that it must be succeeded by the most perilous convulsions. Precisely of this intermittent character have been the periods of quietude and disturbance by vs hich the historic narrative of our Eastern Empire has been di versified since the days when WARREN HASTINGS lent our troopers for a consideration, and the warlike CLIVE added fresh glory to the standard of Great Britain by his prowess and his victories. Whenever there has been an unusual struggle of arms or diplo macy either in or around the peninsula of Hindostan, it has been invariably succeeded in good time by a temporary pacification. Treaty after treaty has been considered by the more sanguine as conclusive, and as inaugurative of the introduction of a new and 'bier policy into the Asiatic territories—a policy whereby their resources may be fully developed, and ',their institutions ultimately remodelled. Treaty after treaty has proved to be only equivalent to a m omentaryarm!stice. The energies which, if properly divested, conduced to the happiness by have long since prosperity of the Oriental multit u d e , have em h . ployed only in concocting additional conspiracies and enkindling yet more virulentaenui rr mosities. It is from a vivid recollection of these o, as from a conviction that duplicity is the predominantee characteristic of the population of the southern well hn co untries of the Asiatic continent, that we regard the accounts of the tranquillity prevalent in those domi nions with distrust and suspicion. Never, perhaps, has the quietude of the East been more universal than it is at this moment. JANUS seems to have erected his temple at Lahore, and his duplex visage has doubled its original duality and looks blanily towards the four quarters. From east, from west, from north, from south, the tidings of continued amity are received. Even the most ruthless of the native warriors appear to have transformed themselves into Iconoclasts by breaking the images of the demons of battle, and beating their swords into ploughshares, and their daggers into reaping hooks. The spirit of conciliation has become übiquitous, and the supreme government is so far deceived by the apparent solidity of the present Pacification, that it is contriving a wholesale re duction in the standing army—a reduction of such magnitude as to reduce the military expenditure of the Company by above a million. Much as we are satisfied with the present position of affairs along the frontiers of our Orientals empire, we cannot but regard a disbandment of such an extra ordinary description as rash and precipitous. That too much reliance should not be placed upon ' pressed a wish to retire from office, and that Cardinal AMAT, the POPE'S Legate at Bol, , gna, had been written to for the purpose of making him the suc cessor of M. FEEntrri. It was hoped, however, that the latter might be induced to abandon his inten• tion of resigning. A letter from Florence of the 21st ult. states that Mgr. CEBDOLI has been charged by the POPE to pro pose to the Courts of Tuscany and Sardinia a Customs Union for the States of Italy. any peace, however flattering may be its appearance, France dis?layed to us in a striking manner the commencement of this nineteent h century. The history of that country narrates that such was the conviction of its then Republcan Government in the maintenance of an European tranquilwas lity for at least some considerable time, that the ink scarcely dry upon the parchment signed by the ple nipotentiaries at Amiens than the French forces were either disbande d or dismissed on furlough, wh le i the artillery was actually broken in pieces and thrown into the furnaces. In the midst of these of mi war s judged evidences of confidence the noise again startled the disorganized army of the Consulate into activity. "Under all circumstances —at least until the Age of Gold is revived, or the Millenium esta blished—it is wisdom on the part of a legislature to be prepared for war in the midst of peace, For, of itself, a deteriorated maritime or military force is something provocative of assault to an un principled and more wily neighbour. How much greater, therefore, should be the caution of the Anglo-Indian Government, seeing that it is encom passed on all hands by races as notorious for their hatred of their European conquerors and their passion for carnage as they are eminently skilled in the realisation of their most treacherous wishes. What ever reduction may be made in the army, whether that reduction be proportionately large or com paratively small, it should be conducted with the most viligant forethought and the most elaborate circumspection. For the minor particulars conveyed from India by the extraordinary express in anticipation of the over land mail, we refer to the dispatches published in another column of The Sun. From these accounts it will be perceived that the expected resignation of the Governorship of Sinde by Sir CHARLES NAPIER has been confirmed, and that the return of the hero of . 1 1 eeanee to England has been hastened by the continued indisposition of Lady NAPIER. Among the more inte re.sting details will be found the description of the murder of the atrocious ABDOOL SAMUD by the King of BOICHARA, that sovereign having beaten out the brains of his Minister with an axe, for being principally instrumental in contriving the destruc tion of STODDARD and CONOLLY. According to the sanguiriary creed of the idolaters, the manes of those unfortunate officers are now appeased. The quarrel between the Ranee of LAHORE and SIRDAR TEJ Srsou—the capture of the ex-Maharaja of NE PAUL, in the midst of the slaughter at Sergowlie— the proposed incorporation of the Lower In dus with the Bombay Presidency—the conjectures as to the probable successor of Sir CHARLES NAPIER, —the revival of the loan project in the dominions of the NIZAM the depredations still perpetrated in Rajpootana by the followers of DOONGHUR SINGH— the non-assembling of the durbar on Sundays in Peshavvur—the success achieved at Kusmore by the police under Lieutenant YOUNGLIUSBAND—and the outbreak which had taken place at Golcondah, in the district of Vizagapatain—form the principal topics'of consideration in the intelligence brought overland, eza Marseilles. right, a tradesman may be subjected to every out. rage short of personal violence in his own shop. The entire space devoted to the public may be occupied by loungers not intending to make any purchase, to the serious detriment of his business ; his female rela tives or assistants may be insulted by objectionable looks or addresses; or, as he himself truly says, "ex posed to the machinations of an avowed seducer, without any redress or means of getting rid of the offender." Surely matter affecting such important topics should not be permitted to rest on the decision of a single judge, from whom there should be no appeal, or what almost amounts to the same thing, who is alone to decide whether he has been wrong in his former decision—a point which very few will be willing to admit—and if by a possibility a second hearing should be sanctioned, it must be before the same person, with all his former prejudices. One of the chief and most glaring defects, there fore, of the new Act is the part which relates to new trials. Formerly, if any party, plaintiff or defendant, thought the judge wrong in the law he laid clown, or that the state of facts did not warrant his application thereof, or if he should be dissatisfied with the vet-- diet of the jury, as being given contrary to the weight of evidence, or as having been in any degree influenced by the improper admission or rejection of evidence, he might apply for a new trial, or perhaps to have the judgment entered i❑ his favour, to the full court, who, if a fair case was made out, permitted a solemn argument to take place, at which the law was settled ; if his objection was a legal one, and was taken in the proper form, and was what is termed placed upon the record, he might, if dissatisfied with the decision of the full court, further appeal to the Exchequer-chamber, and ultimately to the highest tribunal in the king dom—the House of Peers. This he might do in any case, however trivial or unimportant, if he conceived himself to be right and was sustainel by competent legal authority. It might perhaps be right that this unlimited power should not be given in every instance, but it should never be withheld where the party was willing to give sufficient security for the debt. and costs, if the judgment should ultimately be un favourable to him. Such an appeal is allowed in every case from the decisions of Assistant-Barristers in Ireland, whose powers are very analagous to those of the Judges in the New County Courts, upon such security being given, or the amount lodged in court, and a new hearing takes place before the next going judge of assize. A similar power should be given upon like terms in this country also. Disputed questions of facts should invariably be submitted to a jury if either party object to the judge's decision. In Mr. CLARK'S case the question chiefly turned on whether gross violence had been used, or only such gentle force as was necessary to compel the intruder to quit the shop. The defendant desires the opinion of a jury on a question in which he feels his character at stake. It is refused, and thus one of the first privileges of a free-born Briton, that he never should be deemed guilty until found to be so by the verdict of his peers, is set aside. True it is he might have obtained a jury previous to the first hearing, by serving certain notices and depositing certain money ; but a person may not be aware that the judgment will turn on such a fact, and it he disputes that fact, and is satisfied to pay the costs of the first hearing, and to find adequate security fur obeying the final judgment, he should be permitted to do so ex debilo justitice, as a matter of mere right. The Act 9 and 10 VICTORIA, C. 95, for the more easy recovery of small debts and demands in Eng land, is now in full operation in all parts of the country. It is impossible to estimate too highly the importance of that statute, and of the several pro . , visions thereby introduced, to the vast majority of the people, to all those in the middle ranks of life, engaged in trade, who are accustomed to give credit for small amounts to their customers, and to the A letter from Berne of the 27th ult. says— Three facts of a certain significance have just taken place here. I have informed you that the Governments of the primitive cantons were thinking of convoking their landsgemeindes, in order to con sult them on the situation created by the decisions of the Diet. The landsgemeinde of Schwyz, the largest of the primitive cantons, yesterday, in fact, sanc tioned the resolutions of the Government, tending to declare that this canton would not withdraw from the Sonderhund, and would not expel the Jesuits. This decision was come to by about 7,000 votes against 360 on the opposite side. It is right to add that all means, likely to influence a population and intimi date the wavering, were employed to bring about this result, which might perhaps have been different, had the vote taken place under the superintendence and protection of the federal commissioners delegated by the Diet. This circumstance, besides, allows it to be foreseen of what a description will be the analogous meetings which are to take place on Sunday next, October 3, in the cantons of Uri, Unterwald and Zug. However, in the last the Li berals, although in the minority, are preparing to make a demonstration of their respect for the deci sions of the Diet. The second important fact is, that the first deputy of Friburg at the Diet, the avo y er Fournier, the living incarnation of Jesuitism, has, it is said, given in his resignation of deputy and coun cillor of state, probably because the majority of his colleagues differed from him in opinion. The third fact which I have to point out to your notice is not less characteristic. You are aware that at Berne the Conservatives, united to the old aristocracy, had gained a certain preponderance in the elections; not withstanding their efforts, the Liberal party, united to the Radicals, yesterday gained a nomination in the Grand Council, which fact gives the most formal contradiction to our reactionary party, who pretended that the energetic conduct of the Diet had weakened the Liberal party in the canton of Berne, and para lysed its influence in the capital. The Liberal can didate was M. Hallwyl, a descendant of one of the heroes of the battle of Morat ; his opponent was M. d'Effinger, formerly bailli of Berthoud." petty tradesmen, artisans, operatives, and labourers whose exigencies may compel them to incur debts of that description. Heretofore these small debts were recoverable either in the superior Common Law Courts at Westminster, or in local Courts of limited jurisdiction, established from time to time in various parts of the country, under different authorities. Statutes were passed in 1844 and 1845, consolidating and extending the powers given to these lesser courts, but the Act of 11146, now under notice, swallowed up all the others in itself. 'Wherever it came into operation all inferior jurisdictions were abolished, nay, that of the superior courts was practically taken away in all cases which came within the sphere of the courts established in pursuance of its enactments—for (save in certain excepted cases) "if an action shall be brought in the superior courts, for 'Any cause other than those in the Act specified, and for which a plaint might have been entered in any court holden under the Act, and a verdict shall he found for the plaintiff for a sum less than 201., if the action be founded on contract, or less than 51. if it be founded on tort, the plaintiff shall have judgment to recover such sums only, and no costs; and if a verdict shall not be found for the plaintiff, the defendant shall be entitled to his costs, as between attorney and client, unless in either case the judge shall certify on the back of the record that the action was fit to be tried in the superior courts" (section 129). Few persons will, of course, be willing to risk such a con tingency, even though they should believe themselves entitled to recover still larger sums. The pro verbial uncertainty of the law is considerably en hanced by this provision, and if every case at all doubtful as to the amount, as well as in all those which, however important to the parties concerned, certainly come within the limit, recourse will be had to the newly .created tribunals for redress. The Act, therefore, with the rules and orders adopted, may be looked on as a complete code for the reco very of all sums not exceeding 201., and also the recovery of possession of tenements, the annual rental whereof does not exceed 501. Actions of re plevin may also be brought in these courts. These simple facts will satisfy any person at all cognizant of the very large proportion which such cases bear to the general business of the country of the abso lute necessity of correcting all the defects contained either in the Act itself, or which have been intro duced into its administration contrary to the intentions of the Legislature. Different opinions, too, necessarily prevail amongst the judges on several points, and conse quently there is a difference of practice that is ex ceedingly prejudicial to the public interests, to which it is essential that some fixed and definite rules re cognised in all the courts should be adopted. Under this head we may particularly instance the differences that exist with respect to what has been termed splitting causes of action, or two or more actions being actually subsisting at the same time between the same parties. This is only one illustration of an evil of considerable magnitude. The object of the statute most undoubtedly was to benefit the poorer and the humbler classes, by afford ing them a cheap and easy mode of recovering the demands to which they may justly be entitled, with out the expense and delay attendant on an applica tion to the superior courts, and also for saving the debtors the enormous costs to which they would be subjected—costs far exceeding the amount of the original debt. It may, however, well be doubted how far this desirable object has been at tained; we fear that, however plausible the term " cheap law" may appear, however sound it may seem in theory, it is not so easily reduced to practice, but that mischiefs greater than those it was intended to remedy, and much oppression and individual suffering, together with cases of the greatest hardship, loudly demanding redress, are daily occasioned by the attempt to bring it into operation, there can be no doubt. We shall from time to time point out some of the i n the law itself, and i n th e mede of it s Brest rni n 'st !sti r be , and also that which appears to individ ua l s . In anoth er part injusti ce and unmerited hardship sustained by of. our columns a letter will be A. cLtitit i found from M r . a highly respectable tradesman resid en t in Jerm n - street, complaining, with great apparent reasonoi a considers himself to be seriously aggrieved.so fully The decision b y which he facts of the case are therei n set orth and so temperately, that it is quit e unnecessary here to recapitulate them. sir. CLARK has ably stated the consequences of the interpretation of the law, which the judge has announced; he ques. tions the propriety of his judgment on every o ne o f the grounds on which it was given, and he would willingly carry the case before the highest tribunals, in order that the law on the subject, which he feels to be so important to himself and every tradesman in the British dominions, involving, as it does, the authority he is to possess, in what has heretofore been termed " an Englishman's castle "—his own house, should be finally settled. If the Learned Judge is ~. Aletter from Naples, of the 25th ult., says " that the insurrection in Puglia has assumed a very serious aspect. At Messina the Government has arrested M. GRANO, one of the most respectable persons of the city by his birth and talents. At Melazzo, M. PrEanso, one of the richest men of the country, has also been arrested. Persons who live in the neigh bourhood of the Chateau of St. Elmo assert that for some days past they have heard fusilades, which leads to a supposition that executions have taken place in that fortress. General STATELLA, Kho has the command of the troops sent to Calabria, has just represented to the KING that in all the places through which he has passed he found the people very de voted to his MAJESTY, but deeply irritated against the abuses of the authorities, and particularly the gen darmerie. lie has denounced M. SALSANO, one of the principal officers of that force, as having beer, gu lty of great cruelty. This officer has been sus pended, and is to be brought to trial. The KING, by a telegraphic dispatch, has suspended the execu tion of several persons who had fallen into the hands of the royal troops, and revoked the institution of courts-martial: The KING is constantly engaged in conferences with the Minister PIETRACATELLA, and it is believed that the object of them is the promul gation of useful reforms." _ _ A letter from Rome of the 23d says— " The Prince de Canino, Charles Bonaparte, who is a soldier of the Civic Guard, was yesterday placed under arrest. He had just arrived from Venice, from which he hai been expelled for his speech in the sci entific eongress, and escorted to the frontier of the Papal States by Austrian dragoons. It is thought that his arrest here is connected with the process now going on as to the eyelids of the 7th and Bth instant, in which he took a leading part. You are aware that on the evenings of those days manifestations were made before the houses of the foreign ambassadors, and that they were followed by tumultuous and almost seditious assemblages round the house of the Jesuits. The affairs of Naples appear to be taking a turn favourable to the policy of the immortal reformer Pius IX. The King's troops have been beaten by the Reformers in the province of Cambo Basso, in Calabria. The number of killed and wounded on the royal side is estimated at 200. Yesterday Count Pietro Ferretti, brother of the Cardinal Secretary of State, set out for Naples. He will inform the King that the Holy Father proposes to abolish in several cases the punishment of death. Cardinal Serra Cassano, Archbishop of Capua, has arrived at Rome, and it is believed that he has re quested the Pope to give him an apostolic letter re commending obedience to the people of the Two Sicilies.

James Wheatly was charged with stealing eight pairs of boots, the property of his employer, Mr. William Ayell, boot and shoemaker, 103, St. George's. Street. On the 7th of June, :Mr. Ayell delivered him the materials for making twelve pairs of boots. About a fortnight afterwards he returned four pairs, the rest the prosecutor had since ascertained he had pledged and got drunk with the money. He had then de serted his wife and family. On Saturday night Mr. Ayell accidentally saw him in Bluecoat• fields, Lime house, and gave han into custody. Potter, an officer of the detective force, said the prisoner had been convicted at Clerkenvvell sessions of a similar offence about a twelvemonth since, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment. He had since been adopting a eomplete system of plunder, obtaining employment for a short time, and immedi ately he had work given him he absconded with it. It witness had time given him he could establish several cases a g ainst the prisoner. The prisoner, whimpering, said he couldn't help it.

REGISTRATIONS.—(THIS DAY.) CITY OF LONDON. (Before T. Y. M'CnalsrtE, Esq.) William Martin Lewis claimed to be registered in respect of certain premises occupied by him at No. 10, Water-lane. Mr. Brown objected, on the ground of the house being known as No. 11, and not No. 10, and called as a witness in support of his objection the claimant, who stated that he had always considered the house as No. 11. The rate-collector stated that the house was known to him and rated as No. 10 ; that he was in the habit of receiving the rates from the claimant on the same premises for which he was rated. Mr. S. Smith contended that the house was known as both No. 10 and 11, and that upon this ground the claim ought to be allowed.

The Caledonian Company, for instance, have called up all the money on their old shares, in the teeth of promises made to their shareholders that not more than 301. would be required ; in consequence of which, many shareholders were induced to buy more than they otherwise would have done, and now, finding themselves unable to meet unexpected calls, are compelled to sell at a ruinous sacrifice, or endure the tender mercies of the Company's solicitor. Generally our impression is, that the worst has been seen. Food is greatly reduced, the foreign exchanges are all improving, and with a return of bullion we may expect also a return of confidence, with a more healthy revival of trade, and a gradual re covery throughout cur markets."

Mr. Shadwell, the barrister appointed to revise the list of voters for the county of Middlesex, held his Court to-day, at the New Globe Tavern, Mile End road, for the purpose of revising the list of voters for the following parishes :—Bromley, Poplar, Lime house, Ratcliffe, Shadwell, St. George, Whitechapel, Wapping, Mile End Old Town, Mile End New Town, Tower Without, Tower of London, Trinity, Minories, St. Botolph Without, Aldgate, St. Peter ad Vincula, Stratford, Bow. Mr. W. H. James appeared as the agent for the Liberals, and Mr. J. Payne as that of the Conserva tives. The overseer of the parish of Tower Without in formed the Revising Barrister that there was neither claims or objections in that parish. In the parish of Bromley, the name of Thomas Mann Bridge, of Croydon, was expunged from the list, and that of John King Dunbar, who was ob jected to by the Conservatives. In the Bromley list, a person of the name of Ed wards, the sexton, claimed to be inserted as a voter, on the ground of having a freehold in the church yard. On Mr Edwards being called he stated that he hail no freehold in the churchyard, but that he took the f . ces for burials, which he considered would entitle him to a vote. Mr. James, the agent for the Liberals, observed that his friend Mr. Payne was very anxious to give Mr. Edwards a living freehold, if he could, but, according to his own showing, he had nothing but a dead one. Claim disallowed. Benjamin Freelove Johnson claimed to be inserted in the list of voters for five copyhold houses in the parish of Bromley, but, in consequence of a misde scription, the claim was disallowed. In the parish of St. George, William Ashcraft, of York-street, Covent garden, claiming to be inserted in the list of voters in respect of a share in nine freeholders in St. George's parish, was objected to by the Conservatives. Mr. James, on the part of the Liberals, objected to the validity of the notice of objection, on the ground that Mr. Shepherd, the objector on the part of the Conservatives, had not sufficiently described his place of abode. He had - described his residence to be 9, Park-place, Hackney-fields, while at the present moment there was no such place as Hackney-fields. Mr. Payne, on behalf of the Conservatives, sub mitted that the description was sufficient, and that the objection ought to be allowed. Mr. SUADWELL was of a contrary opinion, and allowed Mr. Ashcraft's claim to be entered on the list of voters. Mr. James observed that the opinion of the Learned Barrister would, he believed, decide all the objections in the St. George's list. Mr. Payne said it would at least have the effect of lightening the labours of all connected with the revi sion for the county of Middlesex. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded with the other names in the list of claimants of the parish of St. George, and inserted all those names that were objected to by the Conservatives. The other lists were then proceeded with, but no thing of any interest occurred. Mr. Shadwell will sit to morrow at the Green Man, Bethnal-green, to revise the lists of the parishes of Bethnal-green, Hackney, Christ Church, Shoreditch, Norton Folgate, and Old Artillery Ground. - - THS MAILS•••—SOUTHAMPTON, 2.--The Royal West India mail-packet the Severn, Captain Vincent, left the river this day, at three P. 51., for the West Indies and the Gulf of Mexico, taking out the usual mails, under charge of Lieutenant Brand, R.N.; also 350 bottles of quicksilver, value 5,4001.; specie, value 21,600/.; and general cargo, together with 130 passengers. Oct. 3. The Oriental Company's steam•ship T•igus, Captain Evans, left the ducky at nine A.M. this day, en route for Constantinople, taking the East India and China mails to Malta, there to be reshipped in the Ariel for Alex andria. The Tagus takes out 53 passengers., and 350 tons of cargo. lhe American ship Washington, Cap tain Hewett, left New York on the 23J nit., and may be expected here on Tuesday nt xt. The Teviot, Cap tain May, with the next West Indian mails, mbe looked fir on Tuesday. The Jupiter, Captain chv a is also due on that day, from Gibraltar, with the Penin sular orals. Baron de Rothschild, M.P., has just forwarded a donation of twi. guiueaa to the school fund in con nexion, with the BrtiusWick Chapel (ladepeuciumt), Athens journals of the 20th ult. have arrived. The Moniteur Grec contains the royal decree ap pointing General TZAVELLAS, the Minister of War, President of the Council, and ordains M. GLARAKIS, the Minister of Public Instruction, to hold the port folio of Foreign Affairs. This journal confirms the accounts of the defeat of the insurgents of Naupacte. PHARMAKI, their leader, is stated to hae fl‘d to the mountains, with only thirteen f.llowers. A Constantinople letter of the 17th ult. says— " There has been ne change of features in the dif ference between the Porte and Greece since the adop tion of coercive measures. These measures are put in force at Smyrna, Salonica, and Adrianople. Wher ever Greek consuls have been accredited, they have been obliged to suspend their functions, and in all matters, whether civil or criminal, the Hellenists have no resort but to the Turkish authorities. The delay of a month fixed by the Porte for the interdic tion of the coasting trade is already half elapsed, and ere long the Greek vessels hill be effected by this measure. On the other hand, the internal state of Greece is very precarious. While the pres, nt Cabinet has gained so great a majority at the last elections, that the whole country may be said to support it, con stant acts of revolt are committed in the provinces; and the only man who was likely to repress these elements of anarchy has no doubt fallen. The news from Albania is satisfactory. Three thousand rebels under the command of Rapo have been completely defeated and dispersed at Berat. From thence Seraskier marched to Argy rocastro, to attack Djoulika, who has not more than 6,000 men under him, and it is generally believed that he must be beaten, and thereupon Albania will be entirely pacified. The Turkish squadron has been lying at anchor in the Bay of Salonica ever since the 4th, and will not move till the beginning of October. It will wait the return of the Capitan Pacha, who is coming here to juin in the feast of the circumcision, which commences on Sunday, and will last twelve days. It will take place under inauspicious circum , stances, for the cholera is at the gates of Constati nople. After making considerable victims in the Tchildir, at Quarz, at Olti, and at Erzeroum, it has made its appearance at Batoum, and at last reached Trebizond. The English packet Sultan, belonging to the Eastern Peninsular Company, which left Tre bizond on the 11th, and arrived here on the 13th, has been put into quarantine for eight days ; one of her cooks having, while on her passage, been attacked with the cholera. He died on the 15th in the Lazaretto." Madrid papers of the 26th and 27th ult. have arrived. The Gaveta publishes various decrees regulating the finances, which we give at length in another column. The Heraldo publishes a furious tirade against ESPARTERO, fur presuming to thank the QUEEN for his recal, and the Clamor Publico announces that a dissolution of the Cortes has been resolved on. The same journal publishes a letter from Valencia, which states that a body of 200 Carlists have passed into the Maestrazgo, after having disarmed the garrison of Ampesta. CONCHA is taking vigorous measures for the re establishment of tranquillity in Catalonia. He in tends to establish a blockade of the province by sea and land, and will, it is said, make an expedition into the republic of Andorra, to seize any Carlists who may be concealed there. He disapproves of the murderous proceedings of his predecessors, and proposes, instead of shooting his Carlist prisoners, to transport them to the West India colonies, for lnoger or shorter periods. MADRID BOLSA, SEPT. 27.—The Three per Cents are quoted at 26k paper ; the Five per Cents., at 171 paper ; Passive, at 5i cash ; Coupons, at 14 paper. Exchange on Loudon, at 48d. 80c. We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. The accounts of the Bank of France for the quarter ending 25th Sept. are published in the Moniteur of Friday. It appears that the amount of specie in possession of the Bank is 150 millions of francs, of which 94i millions are at the Bark, and 55 millions in the branch establishments. The notes in circulation amount to 239 millions, of which 229 millions are notes issued by the head bank, and 10 millions by the branches. The following are the general results of the account :—Ac4f. The Bank had then in hand, cash, 94,580,323 f.; in dis counts and loans, 211,925,269 f.; branch bank ac counts, 97,128,718 f.; rentes, public securities, and reserve fund, 28,722 394 f.; credit and various items, 162,840 f. Passif. The amount of bank notes cir culated was 230,143,811 f. ; accounts current, 117,217,226 f. ; capital and reserve, 81,900,000,000 f.; different items, 5,258,509 f. The discounts, advances, and loans made during the quarter amounted to 493,868,700 f of accounts current (pri vate), 2,805,294,700 f.; ditto (public), 221,719,600 f, General movement of the caisses, 3,405,814,400 f. . • „ Compared with the other accounts published since the month of January last, the following is the result :—On the 26th of December, 1546, the amount of specie was 100,500,000 f., of which 72,000,000 f. was in the Bank, and 28,000,000 f. in the branches. The circulation was 268,000,000 f., of which 258,000,000 f. was in notes issued by the head bank, and 10,000,000 f. in notes issued by the branches On the 25th of March, 1847, the actif of the Bank in specie was 114,000,0001., of which 79,500,000 f. were at the Bank, and 34,500,000 t. at the branches. At that time the circulation had di minished to 257,500,0001., of which 247.500,000 r. was in the notes of the head bank, and 10,000,000 f. in those of the branches. By the account of the 25th of June it appears that at that period the specie in the possession of the Bank was nearly as at pre sent, but that the circulation was nearly 10,000,0001. more. In commenting on these accounts, the Journal des Debats says— " It is interesting to compare this situation of the Bank of France with that of the Bank of England. On September 18 the rest amounted to 8,880,000/. (222,000,000 x.). The notes in circ u l ation we r e 18,740000/. ; public deposits, 8,700,000/. ; the other depo,i , s, 7.200.000/ ; giving a total su:n for liabilities of 34.649,000/ (866,225,000 f.). Thus the Bank of England possesses only 2,5 per cent. in cash of the amount of its notes or debts liable to be called for ; it can pay in sovereigns only the fourth part of the value of this enormous sum ; in other words, the amount of its notes and deposits is three times more considerable than the amount of the metallic reserve, and exceeds the latter by 644,000,000 f. It is easy to see how much preferable is the situation of the Bank of France,, and wh a t secur i t y it must inspi re us with. Let England be as proud as she pleases of her prosperity. there are terrible moments when the clay is perceptible at the test of the colossus. Her mer chants are bold in their operations, but their boldness sometimes resembles that of gamblers. Her esta blishments of credit participate in the same virtues and in the same defects; they encourage labour, but they favour only too often the adventurous specula tions of their num erous c li en ts. 'We, on the other hand, proceed more p ru d en tly, but more surely, and we do not make ot h ers pay for our follies. Thus, whilst each post from London announces to us the failure of some of those commercial giants who asto nished the world, the crisis has passed over, or is passing over amongst us, without a single one of our firms being seen to fall." The Reform banquets still continue. A grand demonstration took place tast week at Orleans, "that patriotic and courageous city," says the National," which has never ceased to protest, by its acts and its words, against the sad chance which has conferred its name on the reigning family." Up wards of five hundred persons sat down to dinner. Among the guests was M. CREMIEUX, who, in pro posing the toast the " National honour," addressed the meeting in a most animated speech. The following passage was received with thunders of applause : " Paris in 1830 saw the children of the people rise to make the Revolution of July, and I would that the Mo- narchy should never forget it. Let this Monarchy think of its origin. Does it claim to descend in direct line from our ancient kings, what does it find? A daughter of the people ordering the coronation of CHARLES VII. Does it desire to spring from so fair an origin as this, no one will deny it the satisfac tion. Does it desire to descend from the Revolution of July, in whose presence does it find itself? In the presence of the people, who dragged up the pavement stones upon which the throne is founded." The health Of the KulG was not pro• .. .
