J 4; • y LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 21, 1857. When the Bank of England was unrestricted in the issue of paper, or legal tender money, the rate of interest was almost uniform. For 134 years, from 1704 until 1838, it was never lower than 4 per cent., and never more than 6 per cent. It was not until the rash experiment of 1844, that the extraordinary fluctuations in the value of money, from 2 to 8 per cent., were heard of, and yet Mr. COBDEN, who described these very fluc tuations as occasioning greater evils, pecuniary, social, and moral, to the trade and manufactures of the country, than the direct failure of all the banks of issue, since their first establishment, was the man wbo gave his casting vote in favour of the objectionable system, that produced all the mis chief. It is not capital, but currency, that is now required. As a nation, England p)ssesses ample means—not only for her own purpose, but to re lieve the exigencies of all legitimate claimants. But, by the ridiculous enactments sanctioned in 1844, we have hampered and fettered ourselves, so that we are now perfectly helpless. The panic is produced that occasions the distress. Notes can never be in excess. Unless there is a healthy and beneficial demand, they will remain uncalled for in the strong boxes of the Eitablishment. A tnan'who knows that ho can always convert un exceptionable securities into the circulating me dium will not rush wildly to do so, or pay large sums for retaining idle money in his possession. 1 t is the apprehension of deficiency that is the canse of the panic. The moment that is removed, the terror ceases, and money is again restored to its proper function. The demand of the banking and trading com munity, in 1847, was fur a circulating medium at any price. Comparatively, they did not care for the rate of discount, but they severely felt the Via ' fit Of an adequate measure and representative of As Mr. HAMER STANSFELD, the eminent raoltetaty reformer, explaine.3, " legal tender was Vie one thing needful." It was not capital in it.; general sense, but currency, that was required. The Bank of England was quite willing ti lend Consols, bat it could not give notes. But even Consols or Exchequer B:115 were not at all conver tible into money. Another week would have oc c•lsioned a national bankruptcy, in October, 1347. The efficacy of the remedy sho we d t h e roll nature of the malady. Fair and reasonable " credit" was all that was desired. Tae moment the act was suspended, the panic ceased. The bullion stored in the vaults of Threadneedle atreet was practically as useless, as if it had been grit into the sea. Properly used, it would have prevented the grievous catastrophe that ship wrecked the hopes, and destroyed the happiness, of many respectable families. " Gold is not required for the internal com merce of the conntry"—so said the bullionist organ some two years since, and the matter is se' easily proved, ',that the admission is scarcely required for the purpose of argument, anything that possesses " the purchasing power " that the receiver knows he can apply, in discharge of his own liabilities, will answer the object. It is required to correct the exchanges—to provide for any surplus that may be against us, or the balance of trade. But surely it ought to be used solely in that way. As a circulating medium it is, perhaps, the worst that could be indicated. The fifty millions of sovereigns required for the transactions of every day life, cost, at the present rate of discount, four millions of pounds sterling per annum ; and "the wear arid tear," on actual destruction of property, about three per cent., or 1,500,0001. a-year. This is the result of the absurd prohibition of 1/, notes, which saved the country in 1825, and would do so again in 1857 if allowed by law. We shall, however, soon understand the ex tent of the grievance. It is impossible that mattters can remain in their present condition. There must be a change, and the sooner that change is effected the better ? It would be well if Parliament were convened to decide the matter. But still, the Government may.interfere, and they ought to do so. Lord PALMERSTON should not suffer his name to be de preciated in comparison with that of Lord JoEN RUSSELL, the Premier of 1847. As we have already explained, an extended issue of notes is indispensable, and they should be of small denominations, for 11. and the fractional divisions of pounds, 55., 103., and 158., as in the North of Ireland. The pounds would eco nomise gold, the shillings silver, and almost every transaction could be arranged by means thereof. A correspondent, whose communication appeared in our yesterday's impression, suggested that every banker depositing 1051. of Three per Cent. Con sols should be entitled to issue 1001. of legal tender notes. The proposition is worthy of consideration. Why should parties offering ample security be refused every fair and rea sonable facility It was "credit" that elevated England to the high commercial position she now occupies, and that " credit" should not be reck lessly sacrificed. It is not merely the converti bility of the bank note that is required. The certainty that it is based on satis factory security and could be redeemed at any moment, would j be sufficient. Let us get free trade in currency, and that will maintain Great Britain in the proud position she has so long oc cupied. Without it, she must sink, and terrible indeed will be the fall, and none will feel it more than those who have produced the calamity. We begin to think that the sooner Mr. HAMMOND, of the Foreign-office, is hanged the better. Not contented with flashing disastrous news from the East, he seems resolved to set the West at loggerheads by his foreign innovations. What would he be at Is he a friend of QUEEN AMELIA, or in the (paper !) pay of King OTHO of Greece—or is he trailing a red herring over the foggy field of Jockeyship, to draw off public atten tion from the immediate meeting of Parliament T What would he be at ? What will be his next move ? We should dearly like to know—but this " tarnation " telegram of his seems to puzz'e everybody, and satisfy nobody. The last confer ence at Paris was bad enough, if we may judge by the results,—but if they meet again and settle the whereabouts of Mr. HAMMOND' S adopted found ling, whether it was picked up at Bath or Bath sheba, we shall readily forgive them all the errors of their maps and boundaries for all time to come. It is usual at this time of the year to be pes tered with long rigmaroles on the state of the weather and the probabilities of what will become of us when Parliament is pleased to meet ; but in all our editorial recollection (and that is not a mere holi day one), we have never been so attacked by scholars and novices, who deem themselves the more learned of the two, as by the mutineers against Mr. HAMMOND'a Telegrams ! Why don't he doff his Foreign assumptions, and become a homely cove like one of us ! We might then perhaps understand him better, and even condescend to take a lesson in Greek from him-- but not in bonds or modern promises to restore Greece to her ancient glory. If Mr. HAM MOND will, in printer's phrase, "dele" telegram in his next despatch by the fall of Delhi we shall for give hiin all the sins of his foreign relations I At length an EAST INDIA DIRECTOR has spoken ; of course we know something now about why the mutiny began, and what its results will be. We could not withhold such an important speech from our readers, and we doubt not many of them read every line of it carefully, looking, as we do in a QUEEN'S speech, for some sentence to tell us some thing we did not know before. Mr. WILLOUGHBY was installed in the Directorate under the Act of 1853, by the Crown, or rather by the All Talents Ministry, as possessing, presumably, " all the talents" for a Director—for one of the six to be ultimately nominated by the Crown. He ought, of all persons in this country, to be able to tea us something of India. For more than thirty years he was in the Company's civil service there, serv ing it, too, in varied capacities—Assisting Resi dent and Acting Resident at Baroda for ten years, Secretary and Chief Secretary, and then Member of the Government at Bombay, till 1851, when he considered his Indian education to be complete, and also that he had completed certain other qua lifications for a seat in the British Parliament. He therefore tried for a seat in the House of Commons for Leominster, in 1852, and failed ; but, after four or five years' discipline in the poli tics of his native land, he may have found that DOD'S account of that borough is correct, which runneth thus : " INFLUENCE -- chiefly pos sessed by Mr. JOHN ARK - WRIGHT, of Hamp stead ; but the electors are said to appreciate most highly a candidate with good pecuniary resources." Anyhow, J. P. WILLOUGHBY, Rig., is M.P. for Leominster, and we are glad that he is. We shall want all he does know of India next session, and we shall yet have a little of it. But how much have we of it in this speech ? We must own that we began it expecting, when we had finished it, to understand some puiuts better than hitherto ; but, like too many of our readers, we had to exclaim, " Well, and now we're as wise as we were before." Nut a single idea, statement, or fact could we find with which we were not quite familiar ; not a single opinion on the opinions of others, which we had not read before. Most of the retuned Anglo-Indians, iu their letters ti the journals, have given us some fresh phase of the matter to consider, even when we were compelled to differ from their views. Mr. i Wi , L r Lo i ti y onev, however, his given u s nothing, it ai nothing, diverse—not to say nothing ne w. With all his actual experience of India, and with all the resources of official information pigeon holed in the East India House, it must be owned that any sensible English man w ho had never crossed the Channel , much less the line, but had only read the papers for C.. last six months, could have done quite as we'l. We cannot doubt that there is knowledge appro priate to the occasion in Mr. WILLOUGHBY, know ledge which qualifies him to represent one-sixth of the Crown's interests at Leadenhall-street. If there tie, however, we should like to have had a foretaste of it prior to the meeting of Parlia ment. If there be not, then assuredly Mr. WIL• LOUGHBY is a notable instance of the length of time during which the Civil Service in India may teach a man merely European routine there. We confess to some fear that Mr. W. sees Indian ques tions only through Civil Service spectacles. Mr. WILLOUGHBY, like most other persons, does not think the revolt a national one, and ad duces, as we all have done, the conduct of the peasantry generally, and of the vast majority of the native princes. He does not think irritation with the missionaries was the cause of if, and alleges, as others before him, the absence of all complaint of their proceedings, and of any special attacks upon their persons. He does not think the annexation policy was the source of the dis affection, since those most affected by it have not joined the rebels ; and, with one slight exception, it would not affect the revolted body. That exception, however, if Oude be alluded to, is hardly a slight one ; and it must be owned we fear that the King of OUDE'S clever and able minister, ALLY NUCKY KHAN, has been a prima mover and instigator in the getting up and work ing of the mutiny. Mussulman zeal ; the ignoring, and worse than that, of Christianity, by the Go vernment ; centralization, and depriving officers of the high pawers they used to exercise ; these and other things were merely mentioned to in form us that they all might have something to do with it, but what that something is, this deponent sayeth not. Perhaps, however, the whole of Mr. Wu, LOUGHBVS real speech, like the contents of a Lady's note, is to be found in the postscript. Mr. W. was not " prepared to defend the system by which India is at present governed ; " that is something—for an Honourable Director to be unable to defend the Directorate system. "Sias of omission and of commission the company may have committed "—that is humble—still he must not be too humble—" for, taken as a whole, their rule has been beneficent, and has done great good to India." Well, we will not deny the company that consolation ; although, except the good inci dental to trading profits or dividends for them. selves, it is not easy to perceive. The direc fruits of any such principle as governing India for the good of its inhabitants, rather than for the benefit of the Company or the Civil Service, we know not where to look for. Perhaps the Pun jaub may be a respectable exception. The last sentence of all, however, is that for which probably the speech was delivered, " Whether," said he, "any other system of government may be devised which would be more beneficial I cannot say ; but it certainly would not answer to place the whole of that empire under a Secretary of State, assistad by resident officers." Of course it would not answer to abolish the Court of Directors, and to send Mr. WILLOUGHBY and his coadjutors, with their sinecure salaries of 1,000/. a-year, and 500/. a year each, and all the patronage too, to the right about—it would not do for Mr. MANGLES and Mr. WILLOUGHBY, most certainly. Whether it will eventually do for this country to throw on a Secretary of State, with half a dozen of assistants here (Mr. W. one of them if he likes) and a suit able authority in India, the responsibility of governing India as this nation ought to govern it, remains to be seen. We incline to the opinion that great and clear responsibility will necessitate first-rate appointments, awl that first-rate men will do justice to themselves, to India, and to England. We are glad to see that Mr. LAYAItD has set out on a self-constituted commission of in quiry, intending to work hard for six months, to bring us back the result of his inquiry, and with the hope that some widowed constituency will, before May, select him to act for them and for India next Session. THE SUN, • LONDON, i'SVEDNESDAY EVENING, OCT;BER 21 , lB5l SIB COLIN CAMPBELL. It is positively asserted in official quarters in Paris that Sir Colin Campbell left Calcutta on the 11th Sept., to place himself at the head of a European force, which the Government had pro visioned with every description of marching mate rial for a campaign which would kst eight months. At some appointed spot, it is calculated near C d cutta, these extensive stores were rapidly collect ing, and the advance guard would set out imme diately. Of course no one pretends t) know Sir Colin's plans, but he is said to have commu nicated with the heroic bands who are holding their ground at Delhi and elsewhere, and that combined movements have been decided upon. Delhi is 790 miles from Calcutta, and as the season is not favourable for marching, the immediate effect of Sir Colin's plans will only tell in a moral point of view on the enemy. It is believed here that the insurgents have already made overtures, but entirely failed, it being the intention of the Commander-in-Chief not to accept any negotiations whatever with the King of Delhi. It is also the opinion of foreign spectators that the sepoys have certainly been assisted by Eurc peans in their movements, but as they fail to make any impression when opposed to us, a well-consi dered attack fails for want of pluck. Repeated failure has produced much discouragement, and I am told it is said in a late despatch from Calcutta that an opinion is gaining ground to the effect that, as Sir Colin's army advances, the insurgents will disperse and abandon Delhi for the moun tains.—Paris Correspondent of the Morning Post (second edition). ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE. "The War Trail, or the White Horse of the Prairie," is the title of an equestrian spectacle jest presented to the patrons of that favourite metropolitan arena where the wonderful docility and dramatic powers of the equine race, when properly trained thereto, have from time in - memorial been exhibited. Capt. Mayne Reid's romantic tale, bearing the same name, is the base upon which the author has built up a structure that calls into requ'siti,n the whole resources of the tranvontine circu . The story tells of a gallant American captain of rangers, who having introduced himself to a Mexican heiress, whom he at first mistakes for a spy, by shooting h.r " beloved steed" and bringing her to the ground, makes love to her and is accepted, but is thwarted by a Spanish renegade, who steals the lady, binds her to " the white horse," which the gallant capt ain had, at her requt at and to prove his affection , ca p tured for her at immense personal risk, and sends her upon her travels across the prairie b. la Mazeppa—while, probably to render her ri.- greta for home less acute, he nets fire to her father's house and burns all the inmates. But the captair, thanks to a couple of trappers, is set upsn the track • the white steed ; and after innumerable difficulties rine no end of hairbreadth escapes from all kinds of enemies and all sorts of dangers, the lady is rescued, and all ends happily and as it should do. Mr. Lulea Holloway and Miss Do wton, as the hero and heroine, played effectively. In the undramatised equestrianism, which, after all, forms the chief aqraction at Astley'.., Mr. James Robin son, an American celebrity, and who comes to Ui with the high-sounding title of the " Great Star Rider ..f America," executed tome daring and unprecedented teats. From the bare back of a horse going at full spec.), and without the flit buff leather saddle which usually forms the platform for the rider's feet, he caste no end of amazing somersaults, always descending with safety, and never " missing his cue." Miss Emily Ceoke p: r• formed some graceful pas, and Mr. William Cooke, with three beautiful zebras and a liiliputian pony —which ;r 1 the ring bears the name of Flying Childers—exhibited some interesting proofs of the high training of this new addition to the " Astley's stud," LATEST NEWS. FRANCE. PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING. The following private telegraphic despatches have been received here : MARSEILLES, OCT. 19. "The news of a revolt at Tripoli is contradicted.

The Indepenclance Beige publishes the text of a private despatch aldreaied by the Prussian Go vernment, and signed by M. de Manteuffel, to the Prussian representatives at foreign Courts. In this document, which bears the date of the 28th of May last, M. de Manteuffel carefully avoids declaring either in favour of or against the union of the Danu bian Principalities. He simply refers to the in structions given to the Prussian Commissioner. The wishes of the Divens, the suzerainty of the Porte, and the integrity of the Ottoman Empire are pointed out as the chief elements to be considered. Prussia reserves her vote as regards the union until the Special COnimission shall have, according to the 25th article of the Treaty of Paris, laid before the Assembly of the Plenipotentiaries of the Powers that signed the Treaty of Paris the results of its investigations. In short, M. do Manteuffel says that Prussia only desires a strict, full, and faithful execution of the Treaty of Paris. RUSSIA. A despatch from St. Petersburg announces that an official order has been issued which throws open the ports of Anopol, Soukoum-Kaleh, and Redout- Kaleb, on the Asiatic coast of the Black Sea to foreign vesseh. They must, however, be provided with a Russian visa. DENMARK.

SWITZERLAND. A table rdative to the finances of Switzerland, published by the Bund of Berne, shows, that from 1848 to the end of 1856, the public fortune of the Helvetic Confederation had increased by 4,682,854 f., or on tin average 585,385 f. each year. On the 31st December, 1848, it amounted to 7,078,461 f., and on the 31st December, 1856, to 11,761,315 f., including the funds of the Invalide3 and the Polytechnic School, amounting together to 1,864,603 f. At the end of 1857 the situation will not Le so brilliant, as the question of Neuchatel has caused expenses which threaten to swallow up the savings of preceding years. SPAIN. The Madrid Gazette, of the 15th, contains the Royal decrees on the change of Ministry. The first is thus conceived : " I accept the resignation of the functions of Pre sident of the Council of Ministers offered me by Captain-General of the Army Ramon Narvaez, Duke of Valencia, and I remain highly satisfied with his eminent services, and with the prudence, zeal, and loyalty with which he has fulfilled the said functions. " Given at the Palace the 15th October. The QUEEN, "P. PIDAL, Minister of Foreign Affairs." The next decre e i s as f o ll ows : " Taking int o ccns id era L i on t h e mer i ts and quali ties possessed by Captain-General of the Navy F. Armero y Penarolday, I nominate him President of my Council of 14inisters. Given, dsc." The above decree is countersigned by M. Pidal. Then come decrees accepting the resignations of the Minister of War, Fi nance , Marine, the Interior, Foreign Affairs, and Public Works, each of which contains the custortary acknowledgment of "satis faction with the zed, intelligence, and loyalty" of the retiring Minister. These decrees are counter signed by Admiral Armero. Two other decreed, countersigned by M, Pidal, nominate Admiral A rm ero Minister of •Wa,r, and charge him with the ad interim, administration of the Department of the interior. Another decree charges the under-secretaries of the departments not fille 1 up with the ad interim, despatch of business ; two others accept the resignation of M. Marfori as civil governor of the province of Madrid, and as alcaldo corregidor of the city : and ono appoints M. Bermudez de Castro to the former post. It was certain that M. Mon, on his arrival from Rome, would be appointed Minister of the Interior, and M. Bastilles was spoken of for the Ministry of Marine; M. Alejandro Castro for that of Finance. It is again stated that the chief of the new Cabinet is in favour of maintaining the constitution of 1845, with organic laws as liberal as possible, cousistent with Conservative principles. It was believed that if he be what is called a Parliamentary Minister, he will obtain a majority in the Cortes. None of the Vical varist Generals would, it was thought, be admitted to the Cabinet, but it was considered likely that some of them would obtain important posts in the provinces. It was rumoured that M. Pidal would be appointed to the embassy at Rome, and General Narriez to that of Paris; but the report was con sidered unfounded. CANADA. (By ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH).

SlR,—Many people are dissatisfied with the word newly invented by the Foreign•Ofce, tel9gram ; and I think upon good grounds. It is deficient in strength. You cannot get a hold of it to g ve it a "hirst" with the voice. How inferior is it to its predecessor, " telegraphic dispatch," in this respect ! How inferior to mast of *Jur English words ! It belongs to the race of the mono• grams, anagrams, epigrams, &c., all weakly words, be cause they won't take a good stout accent. But look at epigrammatic point. What a forcible expression this is ! Why! Because you have the accent. I think this is the hidden cause of the dislike to our new friend Tele- gram. Will you alllw me to introduce to you a stouter gen. tleman, who will stand more wind. It is my friend Telemyth. The th, will bear any distension of the voice You will then have, instead of " a writing from a dis tance," "a word from a distance." You have here a word of pure Greek origin (TEXec, end, or distance; and ,uvOog, word), and a forotbili expression, like all our words that end in th, as pith, wrath, oath, truth, death. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Ascog, Oct. 19. LINGUA FORTIS. (From Punch ) Here is a bother, here's a to-do, About using one letter instead of two ! And why are the Greeks to teach us to call A thing the spalpeens niver heard of at all I (Unless you suppose the spark in the wire Was known to them by the name of Greek Fire). End it with Phi, or end it with Mu, What does it signify which you do ? End it with Mu, or end it with Phi, The point's not worth, a potaty's eye. Contemn such ulthrapedantic appeals, And put your shoulders to these two wheels : Reduce the charge, which now is plundering, And teach the clerk to spell without blundering. (From, the Morning Chronicle.) Coleridge one day met a Jew, who was nasally arti culating "0' clo' " down a r area. " You stupid He brew," said Coleridge, "can't you say old clothes.' like a reasonable being l " The Jew stopped, and looked him in the face. " You had better try and say old clothes' for six hours straight forward, and then perhaps you will be glad to cry o' do," like I do." " I was regularly floored by the Jew," said Coleridge. We are, it seeme, to pronounce the words derived from the Greek according to Greek analogy. We can only reply to this in the spirit of Coleridge's Jew, that the mind is willing, but the tongue is weak. The Irish man who fled from his colours, raid that Lis heart was the bravest in the regiment; but his legs were so cowardly that they would run away with him in spite of his heart. Our classical conscientiousness whispers to us that we ought to say " telegrapheme," fir we beg to say in all earnestness that we leave no doubt of the correctness of Mr. Shilleto's analogies. But our tongue will persist in saying " telegram." The word comes so much more trippingly. We, too, have this comfort, since the Greeks are brought into the question, that they, the Greeks, never troubled themselves about analogies when they imported foreign words into their language. They cut them down to their own standard in the most reckless manner. Besides, if we are to carry analogies out in this way, we do not know where we shall stop. We cannot see why a word should be subjected to analogy, because nccesisty has coined it in 1857, rather than 400 years before. Convenience has caused us to employ the figure Olipsi' e We will talk classica:ly to class c people in a thousand ways. We have shoit , zned proper names, in defiance not only of Analogy, but spelling. We never utter a sentence. that will bear analysing. We should be very sorry to count the words in our tongue incor rectly formed. Another rain-drop won't overflow the ocean. There was an old priest who always said " Mainpsi mur.," when he read his breviary. Some one told him that it was correct to say " Pumpimus." Very likely, said th 3 priest , composdly, but I shalt say Mumpsimug. We shall say " telegram." SPATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, OCT. 20. The market bas been exceedingly dull and de pressed. The feeling hss been something akin to a panic. In yarns no concession would tempt buyers to operate, the difficulty being, not a ques tion of price e but of means and a want of confi dence. If the Bank had not further raised dis counts probably some business would have been done, as a better feeling than prevailed last" week was gaining ground, but this measure has created an exceedingly uneasy feeling, and no business has been done worthy of mention either for home con sumption or export. Buyers cannot operate be cause their paper is not discountable. Sellers of cloth make no quotable change in their terms, but practically the market is easier, if there was busi ness. Ou domestics 1-16 d. to id. per yard, and on longcloths and T-cloths lid. to 3d. per piece, would have probably been conceded from the highest point in some cases to effect tales, and there has been more desire manifested to take orders for these goods than of late. The offers, however, have not been of a character to test values. Very little business has been effected in any kind of cloth. Turkey red clothe and jacconots have been neglected. A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Auld and Buchanan calico printers, having es tablishments here and in Glasgow, is to be held this evening. The liabilities are said to be 75,0001., and the es tate will realise, it is expected , 13 s. in the pound. Ab ou t 11,000/. to 12,0001. ale owing to Manchester houses, and the remainder chiefly in Glascow. A small cloth agency house in Manchester, owing 30,0001., is said to b e i n difficulties, and a small buying agency house is also reported to have suspended payments. LEEDS, 'OCT. 20. The tone of the market this morning was flatter than has been observed for some time, and scarcely any business was transacted. There is very little d o ing in the home trade, and it is Lot likely there will be much :mplovement until we have a change of weather, for at present it is more like spring than the close of autumn, th 3 atmosphere being warm and genial. The retail dealers can do nothing in heavy goods, which are at present almost a drug upon their hands, and until the winter sets in more in earnest the consumption is likely to continue very much below the supply. No doubt there are a variety of causes c mtritaiting to the want of activity ma nifested, and the rise of the Bank of England dis count has not been without its effect. HUDDERSFIELD, OCT. 20. The market has been vary quiet this morniug,, thenstate of•the Ainerican trade, the rate of discount, and the price of the raw material all combining to cheek operationl. There was very lit'le done excepting in low goods. Devonshires were inquir el after, and there were a few transactions in drabs. Wools do not advance, but are firm. The next sales are fixed for Thursday, the 12th of Novem ber, though the quantity at present in hand is only 33,051 bales, but it will, no doubt, be largely in creased before the sales. LORD RECTOR OF ABERDEEN UNIVERSITY.—On Wednesday, Mr. John Inglis, Dean of Faculty, was in stalled Lord Rector of King's College and University, Aberdeen, in the public hall, in the presence of the professors and 'ectorers, the graduates, and a large assemblage of others, including several ladies.

The sister-in-law was an aged widow lacy, paralysed. On the morning of last Saturday week the apartment in which she was, was discovered on tire. The deceased rushed up stairs int o the blazin g room to the aid of her infirm relative. She became (~,,po s moke, and fell on the filer.

However, she gradually hunk,-and died on Sa- ' turday. The old lady was font:d burnt to death. The jury returned a verdiot of accidental death. The event ha; created a deep ' sensation in the neighbourhood. THE BANK OF E. GLAND RETURNS. Each day now furnishes to the financial world an illustration of the way in which they strive for dis tant facilities and neglect those at their door. If the Atlantic telegraph were in operation, what would be the first messages sought ? The state of the bullion in the banks on both sides. But as re gards the Bank of England we have the power to get the information, and permit it to be kept back until, practically, it is useless. All the calculations of our merchants andmanufacturers should be made with reference to the probable movements of the money-market, yet it is only after a lapse of seven days that they become acquainted with each return of the Bank of England on which those movement depend. While every effort is made to develops at any cost the system of instantaneous communi cation through all regions of the globe, a knowledg( of the few figures upon which more than anything else our commercial judgments should be formed is allowed week by week to be withheld, although the very object of providing for their publication was that they might serve as the speediest signals to check all •imprudent action. But, objectionable and ridiculous as the case thus appears, it does not end here. Although the go vernors and directors as a body use efforts to prevent those figures which they withhold from the public from transpiring for the benefit of individual speculators, it is notorious that absolute secrecy is not preserved. Even if there could be any plea for the concealment they profess to regard as desirable, it would thus be cut away. Indeed, in proportion as they assert the necessity for it they condemntheir own laxity, which renders it unattainable. The management of the Bank during the last six of seven years has been in all essential respects s sound and so honourable to the country that it is disagreeable to have to enlarge upon the disregard of the interests and just rights of the commercial, community manifested on this point. Some mont: back, when public attention was greatly aroused to it, there was a belief that arrangements would Le made to enable the publication of the returns to tyke place in the Gazette of Tuesday instead of Friday, or, at all events, that they should be publicly posted at the Bank on the morning of Wednesday. The intention, however, seems to have been allowed to drop. It is to be hoped it still exists, and that the delay in its fulfilment has , been but accidental.—Times. A DEATH-BED SCENE. The Royal Castle at Sans-Souci is at this =men the centre of many intrigues ; and many an exciting scene is passing within its walls. An aged despot, paying the forfeit of excesses that have acquired for him soubriquets and ridicule throughout Europe, lies there in helpless prostration, his physical ener gies wasted, his mind wandering, still making a sickening effort to maintain the haughty counte naece of arrogant kingcraft, while his faltering hands refuse to grasp the sceptre he is so loath to relinquish. Around his couch are gathered an eager knot of speculating palace creatures, like a pack of hungry hounds. They watch with eye and ear every symptom of that sick man's affliction, calculating the chances the while with the keenest anxiety. At the chamber door, again, another crowd of cour tiers, with stealthy tread and bated breath, are wait ing the result. For they, too, are doubtful which is the most prudent course to pursue—whether the disease-stricken King or the next in succession is the best investment for their loyalty and allegiance. To these poor parasites the moment is a critical one —their position full of doubts and difficulties. They behold before them a positive King, it is true, but a wreck in mind andbody. Yet to desert him is not very safe treachery, for he has moments when he is lucid enough to make the intriguing crew that fill his palace tremble before him. It is said that, in the intervals he experiences from the torpor that is spread over his mental faculties, he threatdus fiercely enough any who ehould dare to lay hands to his crown. He then menaces them with punishments commensurate with his notion of offences against the Right Divine. He promises to visit them with the full measure of his Royal wrath—a wrath to appease which has already cost the sacrifice of many a man's life and liberty. This wild howl of anger may, perchance, be the last flickering of a despot's soul. Still it has its effect upon the abject crowd to whom it is ad dressed. Though fain wishing to bring about the abdication of the King, and the immediate installa tion of the Prince as Sovereign of Prussia, their courage is yet restrained -by grave misgivings. Thev doubt whethdr it is safe to already broach to Ftellerick William the neosssity of his withdrawal from government. They fear he may recover after all, and inflict signal chastisement on those who took the first opportunity to abandon his fortunes. In this state of things the business of the kingdom is rather allowed to fall into neglect than any strong measure adopted to overcome the obsti nacy o f t he insane tyrant. Already for upwards of three months, we are told, the St a te machine has been almost at a stand-still through the inability of the King to attend to affairs. Yet further delays are to take place, because " a favourable moment" must be waited for to cajole the tenacious Sove reign into a signature of his abdication ! A grati fying illustration, truly, of l'Etat, c'est moi. Here we have one side of the necessities of monarchi cal rule. Another not less remarkable feature in it is, the fraternal attitude which continues even now to be manifested by the King and the Prince towards each other. Those acquainted with the state of things at the Court of Berlin know full well that the two brothers have through life been distin guished rather for their undisguised animosity to each other than for any amiable f ee li ngs o f relation ship they have exhibited. The origin of their mu tual hate is simply jealousy and ambition. In age almost equal, in absolutistic temper the same, in lust of power of like disposition, the one has been ' ever striving to keep the other away from the reins of Government. The natural consequence of this was, that the ambition of the man who was thus held back daily gre w i n propor ti on t o his inability of gratifying it. No wonder a deep estrangement ensued, the r e i gn i ng Ki ng ever fearing a palace coup d Rat on the part of his relation, to which fear the suseicious doings of the latter have sometimes lent a colour. With such jealousies waxing stronger year by, year, it was not at all probable, according to monarchical s en ti me nts, that a reconciliation would take place between the two brothers, even when one of them was almost in the grasp of death. And, indeed, we are informed that the fact of the King's ' life being in danger has only added to the intensity of the feud, Frederick William IV. franticallyre fusing to see the relative he knows to be so im patient for the crown he wears. The t ru th is, the exhausted Sovereign, in his excited stare, seems to dread the approach of his brother as that of some fiend about to snatch the dearly-prized diadem from his brow... It appears as th o ugh he appre hended that, if he granted au interview, some chi k deed might be perpetrated, such as Russian palaces have often witnessed. Neither a reconciliation has, therefore, taken place between King and Prince, nor have they ever seen each other since the prostration of the health of the former. Al though other persons have been admitted to the sick chamber of the Monarch after his partial re covery, the door has remained closed again t the expectant brother ! This is one of the many ple 's ing incidents wish which the course of dtspotic dynasties is diversified. The sacred ties of copse guinity are among them generally to he found the most potent cause for mutual hatred and suspicion. Another recent incident, worthy of note, is the manner in which the Prince of .Prussia behaved when called upon by the Ministers to assume for a time the conduct of affairs until the King's health should be re-e s tablished. The Prince, Z.!;-4 our readers are aware, refused to comply with this request. The motives he urged on this o ccas - ou are memorable enough, for they exhibit his absolutist character in the clearest light pos sible. Treating with studied con tempt the re quest of the Minister s, lie declared them to that they had no r ight to call upon him to a ss ume the administration of the kingdom, but that he, in his Royal pleasure, would decide when the fitting moment for such a course on ,, his part "He neither wanted, said lie, should arrive. "any invitation from the servants of the Crow n , n or from any other body in the kingdore_ ffical _ ino - , by this latter allusion, the Chamb ers , w h o, ac co'rding to the Constitution, are to app o i n t a Re gency in case of the King being incapacitated from conducting the a . fyrs . of the country. "The only thing . necessary . is, ' said the Prince, "a declaration of his Majesty's physicians . to the effect that heisiii , capable .of continuing to reign. As soon as this declaration shall be given, I intend assuming tee Regency, t,y virtue of my Sovereign prerogative. but should such medical opinion be withheld, I will set myself to work to obtain the King's sign , :- titre for my appointment as Regent. Ministered invitations, cr other Constitutional forms, ale not requite! !" This brusque tone fully character'see the Prince, and confirms the sketch we have formerly drawn , of his career. It now only requires tit be seen wee ther he will succe d, in " a favourable moment," to overcome both the personal te , ip:it the hiee of . t his urotlier and the tenacity with which 1. ter clings to the purple. Perhaps even the next few days may apprise us of the issue of this struggle by - tweeu the medirevalist romantic despot Frederick William IV., and his equally tyrannic, but 1 , ss impressionable brother William, who rejoice s , throug h o ut Germany, .y, in the well-earned cognomen of Kartaetshen-Pror, o . r Prince of the Grape shot.A dverhser. " —Morning LITERATURE. The Course of True Love Never did Bun Smooth. By Charles Reade. Author of "It is Never too Late to Meud," &c. Bentley. There is no doubt that the numerous admirers of this author will welcome this little volume. It is presented to the public in a form easy of attain ment, but at the same time attractive and readable. it is not to be supposed that brief tales, such as these before us, can compare, for a moment, in depth, brilliancy, or vigour, with those more elabo rate compositions that have gained for their author so much merited applause ; but here and there the reader may discover some striking sentiment, or passage of power. The tale ettiled (‘ The Bloomer," is intended to demonstrate the absur dity and unsuitability of that costume. This is done in an ingenious manner, and the argument s carried on by most amusing champions on either side. " Clouds and Sunshine," relates to rustic life, and contains some scenes of interest. Rachael is a fine character, her touching story invests her .vith a peculiar charm, it wouldebe well for many if the wronged and oppressed, if they could bear Themselves with the same lofty calm, and unflinching resolve, that sustained her, who bad to join the labour of the reaper to win her bread. " Art, a Dramatic Tale," is the most at ractive of the series. It relates to Mrs. Oldfield,. and the energy and enthusiasm infused into the de af seription of this lady, and the details of her powers, impart a vitality to the writing that would make it dinost appear to the reader as if she lived again her triumphs in the page before him. After following her from private to public life, after watching her inspired vision of glory and her grand decisive vic tory, it seems strange to reflect that a hundred years have passed away since "Nance Oldfield walked into her dressing-room, the queen of the English stage." Alexander Oldworthy is an instance of youthful ambition in its day-dreams of love and glory. It is interesting to dwell on the brief record here given of his struggles and sufferings. Though compelled to relinquish his projects at last, like many another votary at such shrines, their memory remained, we are told, and their influence did not depart. " The true poetic feeling is ineradi cable ; it colours a man's life —is not co loured by it." It is thus that Mrs. Oldfield speaks of her sensations when on the stage : Well, then, child, at times upon the scene—mind, T say at times—the present does fade from my soul, and the great past lives and burns again ; the boards seem buoyant air beneath me, child ; that sea of English heads floats like a dream before me, and I breathe old Greece and Rome. I ride on the whirlwind of the poet's words, and waive mysceptre like a queen—ay, and a queen I am !—for kings govern millions of bodies, but I sway a thousand hearts ! But, to tell the truth, Susan, when all is over, I sink back to woman—and often my mind goes home, dear, to our native town, where Trent glides so calmly through the meadows. I pine to be by his side, far froua the dust of the scene, and the din of life—to take the riches of my heart from flatterers, strangers, and the world, and give them all, all, to one faithful heart, large, full, and loving as my own !" Aspen Court. A Story of Our Own Time. By Shirley Brooks. New Edition. Bentley. The new and cheap edition of this- clever and popular book has now appeared in Mr. Bentley's excellent series, which consists mainly of reprints from standard works published by himself, and ❑ow offered to the public in a cheap and commo dious form. The present work is well known,.froal its clever sketches of character, its touches of satire, and the general interest of the story. It professes to be a story of our own time, and some phases of social and political life are held up to view as ob jects of satire or censure, or sometimes merely a 5 affording scope for an animated description. Some of the incidents are improbable or highly coloured, but the reader must remember that the old adage about truth and fiction is especially true of the present day, and the entertainment he will cot' tainly derive from the sparkling and original nar rative will make him overlook a little extravagancy.
