tiONEv MARKET AND CWIMERCIAL INTELLIGENOR CITY, Two o'CLoCK. Letters f rom Li ver p oo l state that the Cotton 1, fttket yesterday closed with more activity, and j ° °d speculative demand was experienced, at the Prices of last week. The sales were 6,000 4 1 1 , 8 ) e 1,000 of wh i ch were taken for export, and R i a i r t number on speculation. The Railway Share i . ke t eolltinUed to improve, and closed firmly, at i qht advance on Tuesday's rates. Du ring the month of April the amount of divi lids Paid on English Mining Shares was 49,8401. Th e the market for silver is now very quiet, and duri n g e p next few days business will no doubt continue 04 11 '. This is usually the case as soon as the 1, ! t ilers . for India and China leave Southampton. 1;4 Stated as a reason why the shipments by t he 4118 were not larger, that s3veral boxes of specie mded f or expor t w ere left behind, and the re tetanues by the next steamer are expected to be 6? heavy in consequence. The quantity of silver pre ' l lglit by the Parana, together with the amount 2 0t , vi °usly on hand will be almost sufficient for the ") Bo that very few purchases are likely to be b ili a ' , e on the Continent. There is some proba golitY, therefore, of a moderate proportion of the th e ,inst received from Australia being sold to th e 1, 1 " 111 c authorities . The supply brought by 1 1 , 011 7°rning Star arrived in town yesterday after- 4e'onnts from Paris report a further improve taentt in the p os ition of the Bank of Franca.

The substance 41 "le rep or t was th a t th e erzction of water-power erY was now being proceeded with, and pre „4lla made for opening the mine. The value kr " gold ore would 'be known shortly from a working of the stamp. Of the whole fjtin t of shares 43,617 remained on hand.

It is CterallY believed that a portion of t his and the ~ th; r emittances will betaken to the Bank, although eats of the Bank of France may secure a , ,"'L amount. t, 43 Tete is a considerable demand for money owing d le payments due to-day, and the market tem kgvtarilY is very stringent. It is supposed that the h' i t , e ,gate amount of bills to be met to-day is not 41 :eolarly heavy, but for a long time past the l ea k ethas been in such a sensitive stats that the T ' t , extra pressure exercises a marked influence. 1 14 ue settlement of the account in Engli•=ll Stocks t ot Pr oceededsatisfactorily, but prices have declined, p reB vi thatanding further arrivals of gold.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Bums.) THE CRYSTAL PALACE FRAUDS.--IN RR 117., J. RODSoN. Tc.day was appointed far the adjourned dividend meeting, under the estate of this bankrupt, who was convicted some time since of forgery and fraud on the Crystal Palace Company. Mr. Chi►llNy appeared on behalf of Mr. Clements, a stock and sharebrocker, and also Mr. Clifton and Mr. 'Seckertide, jobbers, to apply that claims admitted at a previous meeting, should be converted into proofs. The claims arose out of the sale of shales which hail been banded over by Robson, and which, subsequently being discovered to be forgeries, were returned on the hands of the above gentlemen, who had to return in the aggro- Tite about 1,2001. They were prepared to give up the shares, and prove for the amount as for money paid on account of the bankrupt. His Honour asked whether there was any objection ? Mr. Mount, the solicitor to the assignees, and Mr. Ingram, as caunsel for a body of creditor:, saw no ob jection, and the proofs were admitted. Some few other proofs were also admitted without opposition. Toe question as to the proof by the Crystal Pollee Company was not discussed. The dividend will be officially declared in a few days. POLICE INTELLIGENCIE.--(This Day). BO w-sT REEL THE LATE EXTENSIVE FORGERY BY A CLERK.—This mcrning Thomas Brooks and John Hardy were placed at the bar, on remand, charged with forgery. It will be recollected that) the prisoner. Brooks was lately in the cmply of "bin. Barton, advertising agent, of Wellington-street, but had been discharged. Having posEesscd hirnstlf of a cheque-book of the Lon don and Westminster Bank, he drew about 40 cheque; and obtained money on them to a very large amount. Inspector Mackenzie said that, in addition to the cases already heard, he was now prepared with evidence on three other charges. The first witness called was' John Wetberall, 32; Pere-street, Clare-market, said he was a licensed victualler, and last Saturday week Hardy came into the private bar and produced a note in which was enclosed a cheque for 6/. 53., requesting tbat, as it was too late ti go to the Dank, his wife would oblige the writer with cash for it. The note was signed by a particular friend of his, and he accordingly gave tie pri. soner s;x sovereigns and five shillings. The cheque was purported to be drawn by Chubb and Son, in favour of Wm. Johnson. By Mr. Lewis, who appeared for Hardy—lt was about half-past seven when the prisoner came to his house. rie did not see him longer than five minutes; He was clone. The gas was not lit, but there was sufficient light for him to be positive Hardy was the person who pre sented t'ae note. Oa Tuesd sy last, at the station-hause, he said be believed Brooks to be the person who pre ,ented the cheque. He never said positively that Brooks was the psrson who presented the note. Immediately he saw Hardy he identified him as the party. Mr. W. Johnson said he re,ided at 26, Dyke-street, Lincoln's inn-fields, and was well acquainted with the last witness. The note presented to the last witness was not in be handwriting : ---neither the body of it nor the sigt*ane. He never authorised any person to write such a note. The cheque which was ipclosed in the note he never saw until the present occasion. He did not kco w Messrs. Chubb and Son. He knew the pH.- soner Brooks—be lodged at his house about two years ago. His prop-r name was Keeling. It was from the circumstance' of his havipg lodged at his residence that he became acquainted with the fact that he (witnes-) knew Mr. Wetlierall. He did not know the prisoner Hardy. qr. Barton, residing at No. 2, Upper Wellington street, Strand, said he was an advertising agent. The handwriting of both the note and cheque was Brooks's. Brooks had been a clerk in his employ. Mr John Bridgewater, cashier at the Strand Branch of the London and Westminster Bank—Messrs. Chubb and Son have no account there. The cheque presented had been torn from the book then in his hand. He gave the cheque-book to a person who presented a card, but he oxtail not say that Hardy was that person. • Mr. Henry—Does the London and Westminster Bank intend to prosecute in this case I Witness said he believed not. He had heard of no Intention of the kind. The bank had been robbed of nothing but the cheque-book. Mr. Henry said be thought the bank ought to prose cute. The book had been obtained by a forged order. If a cheque-book had been obtained from the Bank of England by a false order, he had no doubt the directors would prosecute. . Police-constable F 72, said, from information he received he went to the Victoria Theatre, a few nights ago, and sw.v the prisoner Hardy in the pit. He took him into custody for passing forged cheques. He said he had only passed one, and that he knew was a forgery. He said he passed it at a public-house in Macclesfield street, Soho. He also said, last Wednesday fortnight Brooks came ta him at his residence, and said he had heard be was out of work, and he then asked him he if would mind earning a shilling or two, i as he wanted somebody to go into the city for some wine ; but a horse and cart would have to be obtained. After hiring a horse and cart they drove to near Temple bar, and Brooks gave him a letter to take into the bank; and be received the cheque book. They afterwards pro• ceeded tl the London Wine Company, and Brooks gave him a letter to take into the office. Ho soon afterwards came to me and said, " Come away, I have given you the wrong letter ; you'll get transported." He said he had been living with Brooks ever since. _ yN A police constable proved that Brooks and Hardy had been living together. On searching Brooks at the station-house he found a cheque book on his person. The prisoners, in answer to the charge, each made a somewhat rambling statement, the effect of which was that Brooks raid Hardy via.; the person who first suggested the getting the cheque-book. `Mr case having finished, Mr. Henry said he should remand the prisoners in orkitr that the course to be pursued by the London and Westminster Bank might be ascertained. ENFIELD FACTORY,—A return moved for by Mr. Spooner of the sum expended at Enfield faotory was iseued yesterday. From the Ist January, 1854, to March 31, 1857, 240,593/. 8..

Members of the Royal Yacht Clubs are expected to muster strongly upon the occasion. A LUNATIC ON HORSEBACK.—One of the most hugh- a c b cc le ur c r i aterdcu in connection we em r with em th b e er L i ti o n e heard A Amongst the inmates of that instit u ti on i s ahoys 3 lu in n o haf named r has ee d. M. Cioglier. The great illusion in Mickey's mind is hunting and horseracing, the noise of which he fre quenqy mimics by putting his bands to his mouth and imitating the sound ofa horn. It appears that Dr. Dil lor, the highly esteemed visiting physician, proceeded at the usual hour from his residence on Saturday morning to inspect the patients, and on arriving at the front entrance had his mare, as was customary, sent to a stable in the rear to await his departure. The doctor had not been more than 15 minutes in the institution when the lunatic proceeded to the stable and took out the mare. Having led her to the back gate, he informed the porter that he was taking the mare round to the doctor at tj.e front entrancP. Murphy opened the gate and allowed egress to the lunatic and the doctor's mare.. Mickey no sooner found himself free, and the gate I, , cke,d behind him, tban he mounted the animal, rode fearlessly past the front gate unobserved. and got into Ballinasloe. lie rode quickly throne; the Main-street unchallenged, and dashed rapidly up Drinl,-street. - Here he was observed by one of the offi cials of the asylum, who used his best exertions to over take and arrest the fugitive, but to no purpose. The official then proceeded to the asylum and reported the circumstance. A ear was procured, and two keepers sent in hot pursuit. By this time, however, Mickey had passed the suburban district of Brackerna, and bad the wide country before him. At 10 o'clock at night the lunatic was brought to prison in custody of the keepers despatched after him.—Wistern Star. ,SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

How LADIES DO IT IN PARIS.—Mark how with one baud she gathers up her drapery, fairly lifting it from the ground, but still allowing it to hang with a gradual negligence, so as to show, with an artistic irregularity of revelation, her well turned feet and ankles. You might suppose that she had borrowed a living grace from the famous Venus of Milo, in the gallery of the Louvre. —Note Rook. Ammo-SAXON AND LATIN,---It would be almost im possilli to compose a sentence of moderate length con sisting solely of words of Latin derivation. But there are many which can be rendered wholly in Anglo-Saxon. It would be easy to make the Lord's Prayer entirely, ae it is in present use almost entirely, Angle-Saxon. It consists of 60 words, and six of these only have a Latin root. But for each of them, except one, we have an exact S,.x )n equivalent. For " trespasses," we may substitute "sins ;" for "temptation," "trials ;" for "de liver," "free ;" and for "power,,, “might." Dr. Trench proposes for " glory," " brightness ;" but this we think is not a good substitute, although we are unable to suggest a better.—Fraler'o Magazine. ADELPHI THgATRE. Madame Celeste took her b3nefit last night, when a house densely crowded in al parts testified to the estimation in which one of the most vetsatile iicl airCeii - iidished of Moderti actress - es -continues to- be held by the pubrc. -The occas'on. was celebrated by the first performance of " George Darville," new and or'Oial drama, in five acts, by Mr. D. Bourcicault, the author of " Janet Pride." The hero, admirably personated by Mr. Webster ' first. appears as a young Man of artistictalelit, whodares aspire to the hand:of the only daughter of .his em ployer, a wealthy merchant, but he is spurned by the father, though' beloved by the daughter. In this state of mind he finds a.• pocket-book, with twenty thousand pounds in-ii, which a Mr. Leslie has lost. Tempted, by the th;ef who has stolen it, he takes half the amount, is a,uneumied as having, suddenly succeeded to a fortune, and, on .being re introduced tohis late employer, marries the daughter. The man whohas been robbed is supposed to h are ap propriated the notes, a . suspicion which blasts his cha racter, and. t hus, doubly wroriged , he Commits suiaide. This completes the remorse of George Darrille, who henceforth is a crime-stricken wretch, and under goes every phase of fear and mental distress. His wife at last discover his crime, and seeks to .atone .for it by overwhelming kindness to the Children of the unhappy suicide.; ultimately,'however, she dies bioken-hearted. Madame Czleste plays the part of the wife with fervid feeling and. genuine pathos, and we 1 deserves the tears, applause; and bouquets plenteously bestoWed upon her. Indeed, the acting was admirable throughout, and even had not the drama the intrinsic merit which it does possess, it would be worth while. to see it for the sake of the artistic delineation. Mr. Webster's performance is worthy'of the trighea praise. Mr.. Wright takes a comic character, and makes the most of a lapse of ten - years between one. of the acts, ,opening the.next with 'five boys and four, girls, aml.b )acting that he has not b3en idle in th- interim. This family of five young Wrights and foor Miss Wyndhams was the source of much merriment. ' The mounting of the piece is in the best Adelphi style, and the scenery, by Messrs. Pitt and C. - Brew, is very beautiful.' The success of the' play was unequivocal. • THE BANK CHARTER ACT. "That the Bank Charter. Act of 1844 makes money dear is not a fallacy but a reality, is not a fairly but a fact", TO THE EDITOR OF THE ECONOMIST. Sir, —Regarding you-as one of the highest autho rities on the subject of the curreney, and the first in point of influence; from .your political and offi cial position, and you being a mdinber of the com mittee appointed by the House of Commons to in quire into the operation of -the Act of 1844, I was somewhat dismayed . on reading the article. in the Economist of the 16th May (which being on the Continent on account of health,„l • have only just had the opportunity of doing), to find that you ab solve that Act from being in any degree instrumen tal in making money dearer. Such an opinion would be "a heavy blow and great discourage ment" to those who consider that . Act to be a curse to the country, were it as sound as your published views on the currency usually are—so cbar that those Who run may read—but, with all deference, I would submit that on this point , you are it-As,- taken, and trust you will allciw me to state a few reasons for differing frog you—explidned more at length in a pamphlet I sent you, entitled . "The Bane 'and Antidote of our Monetary System." • Is it ccrrect to attribute, as you.do, the rate of discount entirely-to the supply of floating capital? If Bank of England notes, constituting the bulk Of our legal tender money, and the supply of which in proportion to the demand - determines the rate of discount, were issued solely against gold, truly. representing capital, then such an asser tion would be correct. 13ut if - we examine into the character of •Bank of. England notes, we shall find that when the circulation is twenty millions, about fourteen millions are issued against Government securides andsii . millions against bul lion, - fourlen millions representing the credit of the nation, the, capital - having been borrowed RIWIEW 'IN PARTS. The review of cavalry in hnnour of the King of Bavatia came off oe Tueirday on the new race F course splen d in iiiw t e h t ri ti ' le li_s it_o d e tt ß6 ra iAlng ea, e_e as_ ,. 1 in a ct vme r rl y iv e_ i w th ii always do in Pens, a multitude of spectators ; but, contrary to custom, these speutat rs consisted almost exclusively of the higher and middle classes, blouses being very rare indeed. The ground, which, as is known, .is of immense extent, was entirely lined with pedestrians, whilst - behind them was a huge alseinleage of vehicles of all kinds, from the dashing equipage of the noble, down to the humble back ctb Of the citizen, all fully oc cupied, chiefly by la•lies ; in some parts of the ground, and for a considerable extent, too, the vehicles were in lines, three or four deep. Amongst the spectators was an extraordinarily large number of En:/lish. The cavalry 'Consisted a two regiments of carabiniers, two of aurasisiers, two of hussars — also of the dragoons of : the Empress,. the lancers of the guard, - and six batteries of horse artillery. These regiments were in two divisions, under the command of Generals d'Allonville and Morris, and Marshal Magnan commanded : the whole. Just Wore five o'clock the Ca.valry was drawn up in two lines, extending the *hole length of the ground, from the top, next. the cascade, .down to the sunken. wall, near the village of BoulOgne. At five t heEna- - peror and the King of Bavaria arrived on the ground from St. Cloud ; their Majesties were preeeded by a picket of the Cent Gardes ; after them came a brilliant staff, consisting (f Marshal Pelissier and several French generals and other officers, and some Bavarian, English; and Prussian officers ' • the cor tPga was closed by a squadron of the Cent. Gardes. The Emperor wore the uniform of a French gene ral, with the Grand Cordon of the Legion of Honour ; the King of Bavaria, who rode at his Majesty's right hand, was in. a light blue uniform, with a cocked hat surinountel by a iozg• plume of white feathers ; the King also were a red cordon. Both their Majesties were mounted on beaetiful horses. The Empress followed the Imperial cortege in an open carriage drawn by four horses ; she was accompanied by the Grand Duchess Sr ephanie of Ba den, and escorted by a detachment of dragoons, and followed by two carriages containing her suite. The Emperor and the King, the latter occupying the place of honour, proceeded, immediately on their arrival, to descOnd the first line of troops, the Cent Gardes escorting them • the Empress and her escort followed ; the illustrious party then ascended the second line. • The appearance of the troops presented was magnificent in the extreme ; and as their Majesties swept along their front they presented arms, and shouted with enthusiasm " Vive l'Empereur 1" whilst their bands played national airs. •The King Of Bavaria saluted the flag of every regiment. The Emperor, the King, and the Empress, having conc!uded their inspection, took up a station near the cemetery ; the cavalry then fell back, and the artillery proceeded to execute sundry manoeuvres. Tbis done, the first line of cavalry made a charge, and the second one afterwards did the same. The regiments of lancers also charged separately. Then th hoops were massed according to their different arms, and all en masse came tearing along the plain, stopping only a few yards from the King and the Emperor, who had removed for convenience to the centre of the ground. When the troopS stopped they raised a shout of " Vivn l'Empereur !" The precision with which these various movements were executed was ArriTy; admiral , le, and the King of Bavaria, if we may judge from his gestures, was both as t onisht.cl and delighted with them. To the civilian spectator the sight was full of emotion, whilst the varied uniforms; the many coloured plume, and the gleaming of sword and Cuirass, and he'met, en chanted the eye, the assemb!age of such a multitude of men and horsbsifillad the mind with a sort of terror at the tremendous force they represented ; the ex traordinary ease and exactitude , with which such masses were moved—l'ke men on a chess-bo ird— was too a suhjebt of profouud astonishment. The movements having cOncluded, the Emperor, the Empress, the King, and their staff, placed them selves near the stands of the racecourse, and the whole body of cavalry filed off before than in the usual way, repeating enthusiastically, as they did so, the cry of "Vise l'Empereur I?' Oa the ter mination of the filing off, their Majesties returned to St. Cloud in the order in which they arrive], and the troops left for their respective qua•tere. It was seven o'clock when the review concluded. TilE CO OF 1851. . . A work ft ord. the pen of. M. Granier de Cassag ' lute, eLitit ) ed " Itstoire de 14. Chute du Roi Louis Philippe, de la Republique de 1848, et du R e6tab lissgment de l'Emp - re," is about to appear in It gives sorneThde interest - concerning the cir— cumstances which preceded the memorable coup d'etat. The work gives an account of different pro jects which had Leen 'proposed to the President of the Republic, but were rejected, as the prince would not listen to any coup d'etat that should not be followed by an immediate appeal to the peo ple. Many of the details at eof course more or less known, but the following seem new :-"The com mander-in-chi-f of the army of Paris releival regu larly every Thursday, at his office at the Tuil leries, the gener.il officers of his army and of his divisiion. He was of opinion that a de cisive an asure was - necessary. Without being aware of the exact day, he knew that it must ba soon, and he was resolutely devoted to its ao complishment. Ou Thursday, the 26th November, Magnan had all the generals at his house ; there were 21, including himself. - Full of his idea, and secure of the character of his companions in arms, he de3ided on himself a very serious resolu tion—that of entrusting to them a secret, which I nevertheless was not entirely his own: This confi dence, which was essentially delicate, would have been dangerous, if it had not' been placed in the breasts of officers guided by feelings of duty and of honour. The general-in-chief rapidly sketched out to his comrades the situation of France, dwelt on the imparions necessity which existed of saving society, threatened by the demagogical party; the intention which the elect of the people had. of making a fresh appeal to the natio nalsovereignty; and the . confidence which he placed in the army to protect the liberty 'of voting against the attacks of factions. He made known to them his firm resolution to engage his full and entire responsibility in an enterprise emi nently national ; and he expressed a hope of being imitated by the generals of the • army of Paris ; but he added that -if there was any amongst them who thought his conscience engaged- hint. not to enter on the plan, he left him- absolute liberty to say so, relying on the delicacy and probity of all present as to the overture which he had 'just made Ito them in his owu name. In reply to this frank appeal, General Reibell advanced and spoke in the name of his comrades. Re thanked the com- mander-in-chief for having thought that the twenty generals of the army of Paris would not separate their cause—the cause of discipline, and military honour—from that of Prince touis Napoleon, which was the same as that of the people and of civilisation. He declared that in expressing himself in that manner, he was the faithful interpreter of *the feelings of all the other generals, and that at whatever time the prince and the.general-in-chief should make an ap peal to their devotedness, there was not one who would not consider himself bound in honour to re spond to it. The remarks of General Reibell were received with warm acclamations ; all present shook hands with hum, and all the generals embraced each other, and from that moment it might be said with certainty that France ws extricated from au abyss. When the emotion caused by this scene had subsided, and silence was restored, Gen. Magnan spoke as follows : Let us all swear that not one of us will mention to any person whatever what has just taken place here.' All the twenty-one generals present —Magnan, Cornemuse, Hubert, Salleuave, Carrelet, Renault, Levasseur, De Cotte, De Bourgon, Caurobert, Duke, Sahoul, Forcy, Rippert, Herbillon, Marulaz, Da Courtigis, Kort , !, Tarta,s, D'Allo avil I e, and Reibell—took the oath, and it has been so well kept that we are the first, after more than five years, to make known the fact, and the results of this mernorab7e meeting."—The fol- lowing passages, though not altogether new in their general tenour, will still be read with interest : " The most absolute silence was necessary, not for the success of an appeal to the people, which would have boon carried out under all circumstances with the _ certain support of public opinion and of the army, but for the prompt, calm, and regular trans formation of the political system. The considerations due to public and private affairs rendered it a duty to anticipate partial resistance, and to shorten any struggle dictated by self-interest. Those devoted per sons who, in the ass3mbly, in the press, in the army, and even in the household of the prince, had contri buted by different means to the common cause, were aware of the aim and the means, but only those and si)ent - -long ago by the Government, and, six millions representing capit'ul (bullion). The basis then of our monetary system; our legal tender money, is not capital alone, but capital and credit. Now, as the Act of 1844 not only re -tricts but actually curtail; the quantity of notes issued against credit, and prevents any addition to those issued against bullion, inasmuch as the Bank of England gains nothing by such issues—is it not evident thAt, as the expansion. of trade requires more bank-notes, the rat-11 for their use must advance and money become dearer? You infer that be cause the notes in circnlat . ion in ~Turn and Octo ber, 1855, were nearly the same in amount, whilst the bullion had diminished some seven millions; and the rate of discount had advanced from 3i.•to 7 per cent. ; that the withdrawal of bullion was the cause of the advance in the rate—true enough,. because the legal tender notes: issued against bul lion were diminished to that extent, but the effect on the rate of discount would have been just the same had no decrease of gold taken place, if the s ame amount of notes issued against securities had been cancelled by some arbitrary law, like that of 1844; the supply of legal tender money would have been equally diminished either way, and on the deniand and supply of legal tender money, and nut on that of capital alone, I submit, depends the rate of discount. With countries having a different monetary basis no just comparison can be made; take Hamburg for example, to which state you refer. The mone tary basis there, upon which their rate of discount depenis, is silver alone ; this is deposited in the vaults of the Bank by parties Opening accounts, and discount transactions are effected by written transfers from one to another without touching the silver. Should, however, the silver, from any ex traordinary rise in price, be abstracted from the vaults, the fund for discount is diminished, and the rate rises. The same with Holland, whose mone tary basis is also silver, . whilst ours is a legal tender money based on credit tenfold. In France the notes of the Bank of France are not a legal tender, but being convertible into gold or silver on demand, the public receive them voluntarily in discharge of debt. The monetary basis, there for, varies in different countries, and experience I think will show that the broader and sounder the basis in propoition to the transactions, the steadier and lower will be the rate of discount. In support of these arguments, to show that the rate of discount does not depend solely on the de - mand and supply of floating capital, I would ad duce the fact. that for 140 years previous to the Act of 1844, the Bank of England, notwithstanding the great vic . ssitudes in the supply and demand of capital which must have occurred during that period never raised their rate above 5 per cent., and, again, that when th e G o v ernme nt letter in the panic of 1847, authorised an additional issue of; notes against securities, the rate of discount fell without any increase whatever of floating capital the country. Let me add to these arguments and facts the opinion of Mr. Tooke, than whom no higher authoriv on prices exists, who says in his " History of Prices," vol. 5, page 573. "Indeed, looking at the circumstances of the whole period from January 1848, to the autumn of 1855, I am strongly of opinion that the . uniform rate of 4 per cent. might have been preserved greatly to the conven'ence not only of the mercantile and banking community, but of the public generally." I cannot conclude without expressing my grati fiCation at the protest in the money article of your journal of the 23:1 May, against the needless pro. tection to currency, and ;having myself for years tried in vain to rouse the attention of the mercan tile community to the advantages of the trade in a sound currency, adopting as a maxim, "Take care of the quality, insuring the convertibility of the note into gold, but leaving the quantity to. take care of itself,'' I shall with pleasure anticipate greater success from your powerful advocacy of that principle. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, HAILER STANSVELD. 1857. Burley, near Otley, May, M.

M. Pauvert has secured his invention by a patent from the British Government, and- we under stand also over the greriter part of Europe. The advan tages of this invention may be gathered from the follow ing facts :—Steel of a _superior quality has beep fabri cated Sw edish iron, hitherto from which, according to the current prices of the day, costs between 14/.los. and 161. 10s. per ton ; whereas, by the Abbe Pauvert's pro cess, the same is produced from British forged pig iron, varying in price from 41. 10s. to Si. per ton ; and even from old refuse or scrap iron. The manufacture of the steel does not require the slightest change in the ar rangements of the smelting and elementary furnaces, crucibles, or (Aber apparatus. The conversion of the metal is simply effected by chemical ingredients and electric agency, at a co , t not exceeding 1/, 4s. per ton, nor is there any loss of material whatever, as one ton of the worst iron yields one ton of raw steel. We have no doubt but the vast advantages of this wonderful discovery which have already been brought into operation, we are informed, by the Messrs. de Beauchamp, Messrs. Beroit de Asy, and other great iron masters in France, will be fully appreciated in this country, LLOYD'S SHIPPING.--(Mil Day.)

ALLEGED MANSLAUGHTER.— Mr. Carter held an in quest yesterday at the Two Eagles Tavern, South-street, West-square, Lambeth, on the body of Thor. Hudson, aged 24, a printer employed at the Milton Press, in Agar-street, Strand, but who resided with his wife and family at No. 30, Pleasant-place, West square. Mrs. Ann Clapshaw, said that, on Saturday night, a little after ten o'clock, she saw the deceased, and a person named Richard Kendall, in the street, surrounded by a great crowd. Tne deceased appeared to be drunk, and said that he would fight Mr. Kendall. Witness and another woman tried to prevent them from fighting, but all of a sudden deceased fell backward on the pavement, and she heard his head, crack on the stones. She thought that he had neither the strength to stand or to fight, as he was so tipsy. Hudson was taken home in an insensible state, and remained so until he died the fol , lowing morning. The surgeon who bad made a post moriein examination . stated that' there was a severe frac , tura of the skull, which was the cause of death. After several witnesses were examined, journed, and Mr. Kendall WASbound over in his OWR reoognilanooe to attend. tbe inquest was ad. and whose personal co-operation was indispensable were acquainted with the day and hour. On the evening of Monday, the Ist December, took place the usual reception at the Elysee, and the number of visitors was considerable. The open and ardent struggle excited by the old parties rendered a crisis more probable than ever, and public opinion was aware of its near approach. It was spoken of aloud on that evening at the President's palace as an immi nent necessity, and it was spoken of in a pleasant manner, as of an event of whose necessity all minds were made up. A southern deputy, known for his lively disposition, M. Denjoy, inquired of a jour nalist, his fellow-townsman, When are you going to show us the door 1' riton which the other replied, Before long, I hope.' The prince ap peared to his guests with his unvarying calm of mind and his usual amenity of manners. The most attentive eye child not have detected a cloud on his features, or a preoccupation in hi e lan guage. At ball-past ten the drawing-room of the Elysee began to thin, and at eleven the doors were closed. It was then that four person. the actors in the drama of the morrow, met in the ca binet of the prince, namely, General St. Arnaud, Minister of War ; Count de Morny, who undertook the Ministry of the Interior ; M. de Maupas, Pre fect of Police ; and Colonel de 136 ville of the staff, and one of the aides-de-camp of the President. The parts to be played by these four persons were distinct and precise. Count de Morny, after hav ing countersigned the decree for the dissolution of the Assembly, was to take the initiative and re spousibility of all measures of security at Paris and in the provinces. General de St. Arnaud was to cdmbine and direct the action of the troops, in order to prevent resistance from being made, or to put a stop to it if attempted. M. de Maupas, "re cently appointed to the Prefecture of Police, bad to perform a difficult task, which required as much discernment as resolution—that of effecting rapidly the arrests considered necessary, and of providing general measures for the preservation of public order ; whilst to Colonel de Beville was confided the mission of conveying to the national printing office, and of having printed under his own eye, in concert with M. de St. Georges, director of the es tablishmen, the official documents coastituting the ensemble of the great measure of the 2d December —the decree•of dissolutit n, the proclamation to the army, and the appeal to the people. When printed, Colonel de Beville and M. de St. George's were to carry the documents themselves to the Prefecture of Police and place them in the hands of M. de Maupas. Such were, with M. Mocquard, the prince's secretary, the persons who received the last instruc tions of the President of the Republic. At the same hour Parisian society, dispersed in theatres. was carelessly awaiting its salvation from time and chance. It was only at three o'clock in the morn ing that General Magnan, commander-in-chief of the army of Paris, was summoned to the Cabinet of the Minister of War, and had the plans and or lers of the great event of the day communicated to him. Convinced of the necessity of the measure, and ready to accept the responsibility of its execu tion, General Magnan had expressly requested not to be apprised of the time until the moment when it would be necessary to take the [proper measures and to mount on horseback. As an old soldier of the Empire, and an officer of experience and autho rity, the firmness and devotedness of the comman dant of the army of Paris were a sure pledge of success. When, therefore, he was informed that the hour had come, he was already fully prepared." MARKET NEWS.—(This Day).— CORN EXCHANGE.

A meeting of preference shareleild-rs in this com pany was he'd yesterday at the King's Ar.n s Hot , 1, Westminster to consider the propriety of petit . on- Aesr against ihe e leill now in Parliament, promoted by the directors of the company. Mr. Williams, at ' - the request of the meeting, took the chair. The notice convening the meeting baying been read, The CHAIRMAN said, the meeting bad been con vened in consequence of the unjust way in'which it was proposed by the directors to deal with -the dividend of the preferenceeshareholderie Tbst*li'Ac matter had been fully stated in a correspondence which had taken place between him and Mr. Deni son, the Chairman of the Great Northern Railway Company, the whole of which hall appeared in Herapath's Rai way Journal: - He supposed they had all seen it. (Cries of " No, no ; read .it.") He then read the correspondence, from which it appeared that Mr. Williams contended that the directors had no right to retain.ahy portion of the dividend of the preference shareholders for the purpose of making good the losses eceesi ene a . b y.. the frauds of Redpath. If they wanted to buy up the 220;000/. stock issued by Redpath, they.eould raise the necessary funds for the peirpose dealing , up a portion of the 400,0001. the company WO authorised to raise on preference shares, hut . oa no . account should they touch the money available for dividend on the preference shares. It was a most unjust thing to take from the net revenue of 'one half-year the whole sum of which the compar* - had been defrauded during a period of 10 years. Some of the preference stock had not been in existenee two years. The frauds had . been . perpetrated by - degrees, and the amount ought to have been re-' placed in a similar manner. He hal suggested that a s Redpath's frauds amounted t 0220,0001., and as it 'was determined by the half-yearly meeting to pay the whole amount out of. the 243,000/. net revenue, 23,0001. would remain, which, added to the 50,0001. that Redpath's assets ; would realise, would make 73,0001. This amount would pay 2 per cent. on the 3,500,000 of preference stock and shares, and the remainder of the preference dividend could be paid out of the net revenue of the next half-year. If the Bill passed in its present form they would be 'de prived of their dividend. A petition had been pre sented against the kill, and a similar one would be - subinitt , d for the approval of the meeting. Mr. LAWRENCE, the solicitor ; explained thalethe directors of the Great NOrthern Company had in the first instance presented to Parliament a Bill authorising them to pay all the shareholders their dividend for the past half-year, and to provide for the loss by Redpath's frauds out of the unissued capital of the company. The directors at the same time circulated "their report, in. which they stated that they proposed to go to Parliament for powers to regulate the capital of the company, and further stated in paragraph 44 of their report, after refer ring to the loss occasioned by the frauds of Rid path, that they could not take upon themselves to propose or support any' B 11 which would throw upon the preference stocks any portion of the.lama in question, and thereby shake the confidence of the public in all such stocks. Numerous proxies were sent out with that report and returned to the di rectors duly signed, authorising them to vote as they pleased at the meeting. It was therefore the duty of the directors to protect the interests of the preference shareholders, as they had undertaken to do by the statement in their report. On the conn trary, however, the directors sacrificed the interests of the preference shareholders by adopting an amends men tto the proposal contained in the report. The present Bill was called an amended Bill, but ins' eid of b:in; amendments they were direct negatives of the original Bill. The first and the amended Bills wtra as opposed as white to black. A fewpreference share holders had iintructed him (Mr. Lawrence) to pre sent a petition against the Bill in Parliament. The petition had been printed, and was signed by five or six shareholders, but it would not be proceedel with unless they were supported by that me :ting and other shareholders. They could not undertake to fight the battle themselves unless, supported by the preference shareholders generally. He then read the petition against the bill, which was of con siderable length. The CHAIRMAN proposed a resolution to the effect that the meeting being fully convinced of the injus tice of throwing any portion of the losses by Red path's frauds upon the preference, shareholders, concur in the views stated in the petition of Dr. W. C. Henry, Lord Wensleydale, and others on the subject of the bill now before iarliament, and that a similar petition be now signed and pre , euted, and that a committee of preference shareholders be appointed to conduct the proceedings in such man.; ner and to such extent as they may deem expedient. On the motion being seconded a discussion en sued, in which Mr. Greening, Mr. Campbell, Mr. Hardy, Captain Gladstone, and other shareholders took part, in the course of which it was stated that several shareholders had sent their proxies to the directors on the faith of the statement in the direc to rs' report that the interests of the preference share holders would be protected. It was understood that a Wharncliffe meeting would not be necessary to sanction the bill. Lord St. Leonard's would cer- tainly oppose the bill in the Upper House. It was looked upon as a most unjustifiable measure, and thought by some that the sooner they got rid of the directors who promoted it the better it would be for the company. The motion was put and carried unanimously. Resolutions were also passed, pledging the meet ing to subscribe - to the extent of 5 per cent. of the amount of their dividend rewards the expenses of opposing the bill, and calling upon the other pre ference shareholders to do the same ; and app 'int ing Messrs. Heath, Greening, Campbell, and Wil liams a committee, with power to add to their number ; three to be a quorum, to carry out the objects of the meeting. The proceedings then terminated. GRAND TRUNK OF CANADA. It appears that this company's relief bill passed the House of Assembly on the 13th ult. by a majo rity of 13; and it was expected to pass the Legisla tive Council ou the 19th ult. by a large majority. The object of the bill is to dispense with Govern ment directors at the board, and to facilitate the completion of the works from Riviere du Loup to Sa: nia. The bill am lads former acts relating to the company, and provides that the present direc tors appointed by the Governor of the province shall go out of office at the first general meeting of the shareholders for the election of directors ; the company shall render half-yearly (and oftener if required) to the inspec' or-general a full statement of their affairs, with abalance-sheet, the correctness of which shall be attested under oath by the book keeper, accountant, or other officer having a kacv ledge of the accounts. It also provides for the pro duction and inspection of the books, accounts, and vouchers of the company by the board of audit. On condition that the . company, by means of prefer ential bonds and other loans, complete their railway from Riviere du Loup to Stratford, and thence by St. Mary's direct to Sarnia, including the Victoria bridge and other works, undertakings, and engage ments mentioned in the Act of 1856, and supply the railway with a sufficient plant, rolling stock and appliances to work the same efficiently within the limits of time specified, being one year after he time named in the Act of 1856, and so long as they maintain and work the same regularly, the province foregoes all interest on its claim against the company until the earnings and profits of the I company, including those of the Atlantic and St. Lawrence Railroad Company, shall be sufficient to defray the following charges :-1. All expenses of managing, working, and maintaining the works and plant of the company. 2d. The rent of the Atlan tic and. St. Lawrence Railway, and all interest on the bonds of the company, exch"j"of ; t r ho c . o those cent. held by the province. 3 . A di vidend of 6 amt the paid-up share capit al of the in d each of ch year in which the surplu s earnin g s shall the same ; and then in each year in which there shall be a surplus over the abovenamed charges such surplus shall be applied to the pay. ment of the interest on the Province Loan accru ing in such year. The bonds and. share capital herein mentioned shall be held to include and consist of all loans and paid-up capital which the company have raised or may hereafter raise bona fide under the authority of any act of the Provincial Legisla ture passed or to be passed, for any purpose autho rised. by any such act. The company are autho rised by the bill to receive from the Receiver-Ge net al of the province, and expend upon the works, the proceeds of the preferential bonds, provided the sum so expended upon each work bears the same proportion to the total sum allotted to it as the sums paid in bear to the whole amount authorised to be raised by the act, and that each of the seve ral works shall be proceeded with simultaneously and in the same proportion. This is considered a very liberal measure. It relieve the company from the Government claim of 3,111,5001. sterling,which stood as a first mortgage on the whole of the company's railway and works, and enable them to complete the undertaking. ---- LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAlLWAY.—Traffie return for the week ending May 31,1857 265,406 0 0 Corresponding week last y ear ' 62,552 0 0 GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAYS Traffic return for the week ending May 24, 1857 £21,874 0 10 Corresponding week last year 21,026 1 7 CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY.—TraIIic return for the week ending MIT 31, 1857 £5,392 0 0 Corresponding week last yew 5,033 0 0 Increase in 1857 £369 0 0 LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE RAlLWAY.—Traffics re turn for the week ending May Corresponding week lad year 22,734 9 0 31, 1857 .... . £24,372 14 9 i 'i, ~ .. ;.:,. r .~. _. the Lew, un ddi- for s at ver the f. in took 3nsi- afore par cool- been e of-
