Every day brings additional intelligence of the suspension of large firms, whose credit had pre viously been perfectly unimpeachable. We need not speak of the distress and misery thereby occa sioned to the working-classes. They aro thrown out of employment, and their only capital—their I . ibour, or producing power—is rendered practically "inconvertible." The national revenue is thereby materially injured, for they cannot purchase the commodities on which duty is payable. If a bankruptcy of the Exchequer is to be averted— if the interest of the public debt is to be paid— new and onerous taxes must ho imposed to make up for the deficiencies under the heads of Customs, Excise, and Income Tax—deficiencies which must inevitably arise unless very decided measures are introduced on the meeting of Parliament next week. The m ere suspension of the Dank Chartta Act will not, as we have already pointed out, sutfic.-i - tinder existing circumstances, Had the Govern ment letter been issued a few weeks sooner it might have done so. But the evil was perrnittt3d to go too far. It is notorious that the boasted prin cip'te of convertibility would have totally fiihd in msequence of the very means adopted to insure it. The Bank could not, although with six millions and a half of gold in its cotEri, have paid inoro than tenpence in the pound on its liabilities, Of course, it had ample assets. But the securities e° ll 4l not have been realised under the pressure °C a general panic, and enormous losses must have teen sustained from the mere attempt to do so. We are happy to observe that many of the j)urnals which previously advocated bullionist yrinciples have come round to the doctrines which 37e have so long—and, we may add, so consis tently, advocated. The "unmasking" of the Times' battery—the undisguised avowal of the objects which the Act was intended to promote— have produced their natural effects. It is now clearly a question between the " hard calculators," who desire to make 20 or 30 per cent. of their money, and the industrial population of the coun try. It was credit and cheap money that placed this country in the high position which it has so long occupied ; and that credit would be virtually annihilated, or rendered so costly that it would not be worth obtaining, if the OVERSTONE theories were fully carried out. The pretext on which the Act of 1844 was founded was that it would prevent fluctuations in the value of money. Never have there been such fluctuations since the establishment of the Bank of England, or the first issuo of paper money. For 130 years the rate of interest, or discount, which had been nearly analogous, only varied from 4 to 5 per cent., with the exception of a few weeks in 1838-9. Now, interest in the public funds is 3/. 6s. Bd. per cent., while dis count is from 10 to 20 per cent.—the mini mum rate at head-quarters being the former, while a large commission is charged by the dis count houses that frequently brings it up to the higher rate. Under this trade and commerce cannot flourish. The whole profits are diverted from their legitimate channels, and put into the hands of those who have no kindly consideration for their interests or sufferings. England is not a nation of "hard calculators." They are, happily, an insignificant minority amongst a high-minded and conscientious race. The rights of property will always be respected ; but its abuses will be earnestly deprecated. It is now known that the Government interference was only in favour of the Bank and the moneyocracy, who must have shared its fate ; and the general, the universal feeling is that some consideration should have been exhibited towards those who are the thews and sinews of the country, the payers of taxation, the sustainers of the enormous burdens placed on their shoulders. Speedy and decisive legislation is required, and, until the Bank Charter Act is annulled, there can be no amnesty for its delibe rate violation, occasioned by the tardiness and timidity of Government. Whether England had or had not pledged her self definitively and in perpetuity to the Austrian Government in the matter of the Electric Tele graph—eastwards via Ragusa and Alexandria— the whole complex question of our Postal and Electric-telegraphic communication with the Colonies must "perforce" be brought, at an early date, under the deliberate consideration of Parlia ment. There is no uncertainty whatever aboat this. It must be ! For, more plainly than any other difficulty of the time, this one, peculiarly and undeniably, requires both an instant revision and a radical reorganisation. Observe ! we don't speak now of India exclusively. We refer to our intercourse generally with the whole of our vast and scattered colonial possessions—England's Forty Colonies—north, south, east, and west— European and Asiatic, American, African, and Australasian. And we refer, moreover, as will have been remarked not merely to one but to all species of intercommunication. To postal as well as to telegraphic ! To the trans mission of intelligence to and fro through our mail-packet service by means of the steam-engine and tke set ew-propeller—and through the metallic fibres thrilling with lightning, carrying thought with the speed of thought, to and fro, over the earth and under the sea, with the magical agency of the copper wire and the galvanic battery Marvellous as have been the strides already taken in this direction as compared with the past, we are beginning already to feel per fectly well satisfied that as compared with the probabilitie3 of the future, our progress as yet can only be aptly illustrated by the first uncertain and hesitating steps of infancy. In speaking thus, we are not by any means talking idly or at ran dom. And, in truth, we are only applying to the present epoch the same thought which MICHAEL ANGELO modestly applied to himself in his Old Age, when he drew the Sketch of the Greybeard in the Go-Cart with the words under neath': Aurora impara, " Still learning !" As if in vivid illustration of the comparative insig nificance of the advances yet made by Science even in this wondrous Era of Railroads and Elec tric Telegraphs—have we this new contrivance of which our columns only a week or two since con tained a detailed exposition, the ingenious and, to all appearance, eminently successful contrivance by which one of the more daring Mechanics and Electricians of our Age proposes to unite, in one marvellous whole—let us designate it at once the EUREKA !—to unite in one marvellous whole the Steam Engine and the Electric Telegraph ! It has been recently observed, with very great truth, by one of the critics in the current number of the Quarterly Review, that the problem of the present Age is, indubitably, How to Save Time I The veritable reality of this, we take it, is indisputable. And yet with the fact before us universally recognised—lettered all over the globe in iron lines that all who run may read—proclaimed in the scream of every railway whistle, and in the revolution of every screw and paddle wheel—the British Government selects this very period in the history of the world, in which to bind over England from this time forth and for ever to communicate with India solely through one little bit of Austrian wire ! At auy rate, if they have not absolutely and defi nitively consummated this arrangement, her MA JESTY'S Ministers had contemplated doing so— have all but done so. And knowing the fact that they have done so, we have protested against the flagrant monstrosity of any such undertaking from the outsot with horror and indignation. The atrocity, or at any rate the proposed atrocity, is altogether so heinous of its kiud that it de mands the speedy and searching scrutiny of the Lagi,lature. That scrutiny, please GOD, it will now have very speedily, and the errors, if any have already been committed, will be effectually rectified. Meanwhile we must strenuously protest ag tinst the mere notion of any such preposterous and outrageous absurdity as that of binding ourselves over i:s, perpchto to transmit "all" our communications between Lou- don and Calcutta via the Austrian wire between Ragusa and Alexandria. An intelligent correspondent of ours, signing himself "An Australian," took occasion the other day to reprehend in terns of eminently d:.:served severity the shortcomings of the present contrac tors fur the conveyance of nulls be:4v2eri this country and its possessions at the antipode. There cannot be a moment's doubt that this matter also requires the immediate acrd earnest consideration of Parliament. As our cerrespon• (lent very jus%ly observes, the ac,!ident to the Emeu was of course a casualty for which the DirectJrs themselves could hardly is reason be held in any way accountable. Not so, however, the break down at an earlier date of the Oneida— that having been clearly foreseen and distinctly predicteJ. Other equally avoidable impediments moreover, in the way of the required conveyance of the Australian Mails—the tantalising absence at one moment of a rest-ship at Sue; and the incidental gap of a fortnight between the arrival in this country of half a million of gold and the advent of the mail bags and the bills of lading essential as a preliminary to its distribu tion—all these obstacles transpiring under a con tract of 44,000/. a year in excess of the amount demanded by another competing association I Surely here, too, we want a clear sweep of Reform —even though it be effected by the bosom of de struction ! Many despatches received at the India House since the J sth of October have been published in the Gazette of last night. They will be perused with intense interest by every true-hearted Englishman. Many of the gallant men by whom they were penned have fallen in the discharge of their arduous duties. NICHOLSON is no more—but happily he lived to recog nise the attainment of the great object for which he was struggling. Delhi had fallen before his lamented death. His brother in arms— one whose name will also become a household word—the illustrious NEILL, fell in the hour of victory. But he knew that Lucknow was saved, and that the helpless fugitives—the English women and children—whose fates were de pending in the balance, were preserved from brutal atrocities, similar to those that had occurred in Cawnpore. It was a glorious cause, and nobly did these departed heroes perform their arduous duty. The country has now a much easier duty to discharge. Every possible honour must be con ferred on the mighty dead, and on their surviving relatives. Their names should be recorded in the national archives, and in a manner respecting which there could be no mistake. HAVELOCK is still living, and he may yet obtain the rank which the nation de sires to see conferred on him. We have not too many heroes, and we should not be chary of th© rewards offered for really invaluable services. THE BANK OF ENGLAND AND JOINT-STOOK BANKS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Silt,—lt appears to be the general rule with the gree ly and grasping uld woman of Threadneedle -street, when any of the joint-stock banks in temporary difficulties request her assistance to enable them to weather the com mercial panic (.which her unmerciful use of the bank screw to 10 per cent has inflicted upon the trading community), to dictate to them, and insist upon their winding up their business, as the only condition on which she will grant them the assistance required ; though, as a matter of course, every bank requesting her assistance offers the most undoubted and satisfactory security, as in the case of the Wolverhampton and Staffordshire Banking Com pany on Wednesday last, when the directors tendered the deeds of their private estates, though the bank is perfectly solvent, and with 150,0001. surplus, and the security offered for covering the amount asked for, and for which so high a rate of interest would be paid ; but the result was a refusal of assistance unless they would wind up the bank ; as it was also to the Western Bank of Scotland, and assistance, on suei terms, very properly rejected in both cases. We do not hear of any such coeditiou being required of the large Ausericsn house, which obtained her assistasce on Thursday ; but this dictatorial spirit seems reserved for sister banking establishments, and it will remain for the public to con sider when a renewal of the Bank Charter is applied for, whether this settled policy of the Baek of England is not the remit of a greedy and grasping desire to suppress as many of the other banks, and banks of issue, in the country, as possible, that she may extend her own branches, and issues of notes, to fill up the vacancies she is trying to create ; and it will remain for their further consideration, if the misery and rain, at present inflicted upon the country by the 10 per cent. minimum rate, was not intended, in part, to ruin and suppress that very useful class of the bank iog community, the discount houses of London, whom they now compel to have to pay 8 and 9 per cent. fJr money on call, against bills now running they will have discounted two or three months ago, at five and-a -half and six per cent. One highly honourable and greatly respected house, Messrs. Sanderson, Sac dernan, and Co., they have already brought down, and have so perplexed and disgusted the others with the usurious rates they have established, that they, knowing the trade of the country can never stand such rates, now almost refuse to do any business, and hence arise the numerous failures of perfectly solvent houses, to the disgrace of the monetary laws of this commercial country. Tae ngher the Bank of England can raise the rate cf interest to, even if to 20 or 30 per cent. (which their supposed paid organ the Times is so disappointed the breaking down of the 1844 Act, and 0 ierstone theory having frustratA), the greater are their profits; but any approach to such rates would have swept away their rivals in easy times—the Lombard-street discount houses —and would have played nearly all the mill properly, and many a the finest:estates in the country, at one quarter of their real value int ) the coveting hands of Overstone and Co. These grasping and greedy men re lying upon the bullying "thunder of the Times and the shrill squeaks of the penny whistles," screening them from the consequences of thus plundering the commercial community, and robbing the working man of half or three-quarters of his weekly wages, by the rapidly increasing short-time working, or entire closing of nearly all the mills in the country ; and clos ing their eyes to the fact that a continuance of 10 per cent.—not to mention the 20 or 30 per cent. they aim at—by aggravating the above evils, can only lead to insurrection and revolution at home, necessitating the recal of our troops from, and the abandonment of India, and with one evil following another in rapid succession. It will than remain to be seen what will become of the National Debt, and the 14,000,000/. of Think of England notes based upon it, and not upon real property or estates, as the issues of joint-stock banks throughout the country are. OBSERVER. Rochdale, Nov. 21. CO W ES, ISLE OF WIGHT.—Nov. 24. (FROM OUR► OWN CORRESPONDENT.) ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE. The members of the Inyal Yacht Squadron removed on Saturday last from their old Clubhouse, on the Parade, at West Cowes, to West Cowes Castle, which they have taken from the Government on a 42 yeare' lease from Michaelmas, 1855. A number of workme❑ have been employed on it for nearly two years in enlarg. ing and embellishing it, and it is now considered the finest yacht club-house in the kingdom. The Squadrcn had held the old club-house thirty years. The schooner yacht Titania, 181 tons (R. Stephenson, , M.P.), is at present the only one in our roadstead There are very few yachts building at this time, but we hear several gentlemen intend building after Christ mas.

THE ACCIDENTAL DEATH OF CORNET ECHALAZ, OF THE 7TH DRAGOON GUARDS.—An inquest was held yes terday, in Cauterbury, upon the body of the late Cornet Richard Charles Echalsz, who was killed on Saturday list by a fall from Lis horse, as described in the Sun of yaAerday. Mr. Thomas Delasaux, the coroner, opened the proctedin;?, and. after the examination of several vritneases, the jury returned a verdict of accidental dear h PRICE OF GOLD —The quotation of god at Paris is about 0 per millo premium, and the exchange or London is 25.40 per 1/. sterling. Oa comparing these rates wi.b the E7glish Mint price of 3/. 17s. 100. per ounce or standard gold it appears that 801 l is about the same price in Paris end London. By advises from -Hamburg the price of gold is 424 per mark, and the short exchange on Lon,,lon is 13 71 per 1/. aerlinE. Standard geld at the English Mint price is thereLre about 1 3-10ths per cent dearer in London than in Hamburg.. 'rue course of exchange at New York or; London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 103 per cent, for first-class paper, and from that price to 100 per cent. for other description. At the present rate of discount leers there is, consequently, no profit on the trannins eion of gold from this country to the United States.

Her Majesty's ship Simoon and the steam-ship Mauritius were there to receive troops from sailing vessels; and her Majesty's ship Adventure had sailed. Reports are rife of threatening disturbances at Hyderabad, and critical position of the mutineers, Bun deel ahs. The steamer Caledonian ordered from Calcutta to Mesulepatam, to land her troops there. Havelock in the residency of Lucknow with 1,500 men ; 1,000 more, with sick and wounded, are at Alumbar, three miles ; communication with the two difficult. The enemy said to be in great force and very strong in Artillery. A convoy of provisions from Cavvnpore has arrived at Lucknow, shortly after its relief, escorted by 250 men, who, it is said, ga in unmolested, in consequence of the sepoys being busily engaged entrenching them selves. Reinforcements being sent up with alt speed from Calcutta ; detachments, amounting in all to 1,200 Europeans, were to have I , ?ft Cawnpore for Luck now on the 16th October ; the girrison at the latter place could force their way out, but the General does not wish to expose the women and children to further danger. Nana Sahib is said to be near Bithoor again. Nothing was known at Calcutta of his reported capture by the Bellooch Battalion. Mann Sing, heretofore our friend, has turned against us since the storming of Delhi was announced. Part of the 32d (Bengal ?) Native Infantry mutinied at Deesa, and murdered two of their officers ; and the Maharajah of Oralius is reported to bavnbeen murdered by his own people. Colonel Greathed's column, consisting of her Majoity's Bth Foot and 9tla Lancers, two troops Horse Artillery, one line 4th Field Battery, five 12 inch mortars, two companies of Punjaub Sappers, 2d and 4th Punjaub Infantry, 125 detachment of Punjaub Cavalry, and 200 Hodson's Horse, about 3,000 in all, in pursuit of Delhi fugi tives, fell in with the enemy at Bolundshuhur, and after two hours' fighting, routed them, with heavy loss of men, two guns, and ammunition. Our los.; was 50 killed and wounded. Malagurh was afterwards taken and blown up. Fought thorn again successfully at Allyghur, on the sth ; 400 of the enemy cut up, two guns taken. The column reached Agra on the 14th. The enemy made a sudden and unexpected attack on cantonments ; were expulsed, utterly dispersed, and pursuit continued up to the Khlree. Great numbers killed, 1,000 ; all the guns, 43 ; plunder, camp-equipaga, and five lacs of treasure, captured with small loss ou our side. Some Delhi fugitives in the neighbourhood of Bithoor were attacked by Colonel Nelson, with a small force from Cawnporo, on the 18th, and driven out of the place, which was strong. Cavalry much wanted everywhere, and trans - port animals ; two large ships in tow of steamers had been sent to Rangoon for elephants. A column under Brigadier Showers, 1,200 men and four guns, had marched [Through?] Bnllulgliur in pursuit of rebels. The fall of Delhi has a marked effect in the Mee rut and contiguous districts. Revenue has [been ?] brought in very rapidly, and loyalty was the order of the day. Commander- in-Chief had ordered that a standing camp of 2,090 men be instantly orga,nisei at Konuguuge. The Peninsular and Oriental steamer may be expected at Suez, to convoy troops to Calcutta on the 21th instant. The Bentinck met the Pottinger and Hindostan on the 12th, and Emeu on the 14.11 instant. All well. This message is forwarded from Mal , a, by A2l - Lyons at 11.15 a.m. on Nov. 24, 1857, hav ing just been received from Alexandria by British steamer Dutchman.

The resolu tions which were adopted by the city banks, in reference to the redemption of country money, have nut been systematically forwarded to cowl iry banks, through some oversight or negligence, and therefore the response from many will be de layed beyond the date fixed for the new system to take effect. The stock market opened buoy antly, and railway shares advanced from 1 to 3 per cent. The following were the closing pri3ezi ; fllinois Central Shares, 89 ; Bonds, 80 ; New . York Central, 701 ; Erie Shares, 141 ; Panama, 79 ; Reading, 36 ; Michigan Central, 51." The New York Irerced says : " Working men assembled, as .usual yesterday, and listened to speeches from several persons, sympathising with them in their present difficulties. ['hey also attacked a couple of bakers, and de usolished the contents of their bread-baskets ; on the whol e , h owever, there appeare d ra ther a spirit )f mischief rife among them, than a desire to dis- I turb the publi c peace . E xc it e ment is rapidly on ! the decline. The United States' troops that were stationed at the Custom House have been with drawn, and now occupy their quarters at Fort Columbus. Government officers are satisfied there is no danger to public property from working men." The New York Courier and Enquirer, of the 12th, says : " The result of the bids yesterday for the Now State Loan of 500,000 dols, indicates returning confidence and increasing means among capitalists. The average rate of premium obtained is 6.20 per cent., and offers have since been made at '7 to 8. The country banks have been materially bens: fitted by the combination of the city banks, by which over 7,000,000 of country circulation are now held, and for which the former will have six or eight months to redeem it. Another sure indica tion of returning ease in the money market is the in creased facility for discounting business paper. In this latter class bankers are willing to invest at bank interest. Loans on call have been offered (with first-class collateral) at six per cant. As soon as the domestic exchanges are adjusted upon equitable grounds, trade with the south and west will again be resumed with some activity. The banks of this city, although ready among themselves to resume specie payment on their own liabilities, cannot, with justice to the banks of New England and New York State, take such a step at present. The business done at the Stock Board to-day was large, and with a general in crease in prices. Quotations are now higher than for many weeks, though yet much below the average rates of the year. State bonds have been steadily rising, and have not now as large a margin for appreciation as many leading railroad securities. We understand that the bills of the Granite Bank of Connecticut were thrown out at the Suffolk Bank, in Boston, this morning." The New York Times quotes exchange on Lon don at 107 i to 108. In cotton there were no sales, operators awaiting the arrival of the Arabia. The market was unsettled by reports of frost from the south.

There was a good business doing in sugar, but prices had a downward ten dency. Scotch pig iron was inactive. Freights were firmer. The demonstration of the unem ployed continued at New York, and some slight acts of violence had been committed, the bakers being the victims. The movement had spread to Philadelphia, though not to any serious extent. The news from Mexico respecting the elevation of Camonfort to the Dictatorship is confirmed. The steamer which brought the news to New Orleans haul half a million dollars on freight. At New Orleans exchange had risen. The quotation was 93 to 102. The ships Benjamin Adams, hence ; the Ame rican Congress, from London ; and the William Rathbone, from Sunderland, bad arrived at New York. The ship Howadji, from Boston, for Liver pool, with a cargo of cotton, &c., was struck by lightning on the 3d inst. The cargo caught fire ; the ship totally consumed ; crew saved. The ship Jeremiah Thompson, which was on fire at New York on Tuesday evening, was scut tled in dock. General Walker was arrested at New Orleans on the 11th, and hell to bail. We are not in formed of the nature of the charge preferred against him, but it is stated that his arrest will not interfere with his colonisation plans in Nicaragua. A letter from Philadelphia says :—" The exa mination of the books of the Bank of Pennsylvania is going on, but no clue has been discovered as to the disposition of funds of the institution amount ing to 1,870,000 dols." It is confirmed that the new Mexican constitu tion has been suspended, and that Comonfort is clothed with dictatorial powers. News had reached Fort Laramie, that three government trains, en route for Utah, had been destroyed by the Mormons. The Goshen Bank, at Goshen, New York State, had been robbed of 22,000 do's. by burglars. The New York Central and Erie Railway had been badly damaged by freshets ; the traffic is still impeded.

The Belgium 31oniteur publishes the following manifesto of the new Ministry, in the shape of a circular from the Minister of the Interior, ad dressed to the governors of provinces : "BruPsels No v. 23. "Monsieur le Gouverneur—You have learn .d by the official journal of the royal decree pronouncing the dis solution of the Chamber of Representatives, and con voking the electors for the 20. h of Dec. next. I enter tain no doubt that you have taken the necessary steps for having all the preparatory measures prescribed by law regularly carried out. " Die motives which hays decided his Majefty, in this circumstance, to make use of his constitu. tional prerogative are explained by th e facts them. selves. T ue cabinet to which we succeed found it necessary to resign, in spite of the numerical majority which supported it in the chamber ; and still less could a new ministry, issuing from the ranks of the oppotlition, expect in its course of govern went a support from that assembly. The cabinet, there fore, which withdrew had pointed out to its successors the only course that it ought to pursue ; since the retirement of that ministry would be inexplicable, if it did not mean that, even in its opinion, the parliamentary majority was no longer in conformity with views of the majority of the electors. Such is also our own conviction ; and the appeal to the electoral body was consequently indispens- able to establish that accord, without which the repre sentative government would lose all its force and all its Verity. In th!s country, where the duration of the parliamen . tart' mandate is very limited, extraordinary meetings of the electoral body have never taken place uni , es in cases of imperious necessity. At the present time circum stanceshave commtnded an appeal to theelectors. This act moreover, is only the exercise of a right reserved to the crown, at the same time that it is a homage paid to public opinion. " Th© convocation of the electors at this particuli r season has teen called inopportune. But the Cabinet could only take the situation such as their predecessors had made it, and as they transmitted it on the eve of the meeting of the Chambers. The period of the di , . bolution has not therefore been of our choice. Howe\ er that may be, the electors, we doubt not, will fulfil the r mission with the decision and zsal of men who know a 1 the value of their rights, and who, from an experience of 27 years, are skilled in the practices of the represei . tative government. Their:patiiotism will acquire fre• h energy from circumstances, and their intelligence wi 1 readily comprehenl the importance of the great discus sion which has commenced. " This discussion is not new in the history of the na tions, nor peculiar to Belgium ; the presentation and the discussion of the Charitable Institutions Bill have shown with us the character and bearing of it in a more striking manner than ever. " The policy which the Cabinet represents is well known to the country, which has seen it at work under circumstances cf great difficulty bath as regards domestic and foreign affairs. Taking it in a general point of view, it is a thoroughly national policy, one of conservatism and of order ; and which pursues progress with persever ance and constancy. It is a policy which is attentive to the moral and material wants of the people ; leaving to the initiative its tree impulse, and which strengthens all elements of 1 11b110 prospt sit 7. This policy has its mission to preserve one of the constitutional oases of governments and modern society—theintegrity of the rights of the State and the independence of the civil power. This is now one of the first duties of the Government, and rendered still more pressing by the recant discussions which have so warmly excited the country. " The system which it adopts Exposes, we know, the Cabinet to accusations, which its adversaries brought forward with unexampled violence almost before it was formed. They falsely represent that religion is in peril. But it is their policy and not ours that paces it in dan ger. The separation between public worship and the State is one of the bases of our sage constitution, and this basis ought to be maintained. Religion has already been too much compromised by the contact of passions, and for the advantage of personal ambition. It is not adapted for being mixed up in the conflicts of parties; and it is time for it to be restored to its pacific domain, in order to obtain the respect of all. " It now belongs to the electoral body to decide if the ideas which the cabinet entertains respond to the wishes and wants of the country. The more the support of the electors may be general and manifest, the more effica ciously can the cabinet fulfil its task ; and the more also will the Government be guaran t ee d against the crises which embarrass its march and enervate its action, to the detriment of security and public prosperity. Endea• your, M. le Gouverneur, in your relations with the people, to enlighten them as to our intentions, and to correct the false appreciations of which those intentions may be the object. Repel, in particular, tee al egatione of those weo, after having caused the existing situation and by their exaggerated exi e encies and their imptu dent acts plunged the country into perturbation, endeavour to calumniate our origin, our object, anti the country itself. Our origin is perfectly regular and constitu' local. The present Cabinet emanates from the royal prerogative acting in full liberty. Our object is to reassure the public conscience and interest against the intolerant doctrines and pretensions of another age, which were lately condemned in the tribune by the chief of the preceding Cabinet himself. As to the country, which is perfidiously represented as a prey to disorder, to riots, and to revolutionary agitation, arid on which our adversaries have not fea•ed to call down the distrust and the animadversion of foreign govern ments, it will know how, by its sate and patriotic atti tude, by its firm nee and prudence, t.) confound its detractors, to respond becomingly to the appeal of its King, and to gain new titles to the esteem of Earopl " CH. ROGIER." TURKEY. A Constantinople letter of Nov. 12, in the Gazette du lllidi, says :—" The Sultan, on the late change of miniatry, caused M. Thouvenel to be assured that foreign politics had nothing whatever to do with his determination to recal Reschid Pacha to power, but that ho had taken the step solely for reasons connected with the internal government of the country ; the services of that statesman being, in his majesty's opinion, indispensable for the set tlement of certain pending questions. M. Thouvenel replied to the Sultan's messenger that his M-Ljesty was perfectly free to choose his ministers, and owed no account of his conduct to any one ; that consequently, he could only consider the sep which his Majesty had condescended to take in communicating with him as an act of courtesy that he was deeply sensible of this mark of attention to France, but that he should have felt still more flattered if the information afforded had been given before the nomination of Reschicl Pacha ; thitt for the rest he should reserve his judgment on the conduct of the latter until he saw his acts. Such, if I am well informed, is the substance of the an swer given by M 1 Thouvenel to Emin Bey when sent to him, but the conversation between them was so long that the latter, not being able to trust to his memory to report the purport of it to the Sultan with precision, begged M. Thouvenel to re peat in writing what he had said, which he did. Meanwhile the French ambassador has not yet either called upon Reschid Pacha, or sent to him those congratulations on his appointment which it is usual to send thrott . ,h the medium of the first interpreter." RUSSIA. A letter from St. Petersburg of the 15th, in the ,Constitutionnel, says :—" In the existing state of the market for the precious metabi, it h is been said that the government bad it in contemplation to prohibit the export of specie to China. We do not know whether such au idea ever ex►sted,,but if h did, it has certainly been now abandoned. A pro hibition of the kind would be equivalent to a sus pension of trade with China. Different foreign j mrnals, particularly the Austrian, seek to make it believed that Russia is secretly arming. As far as regards the fortres,es, only the most indispens able works are being carried on ; and they have not been reinforced, except on the Austrian frontier, which circumstance ought not to excite surprise, when it is remembered that Austria has constructed on that frontier a complete line of fortified points." ITALY. A le t3r from Rome in the Diritto, says —" All eyes a e now turned towards the Duo de Gram mout, the French ambassador. Some of the liberal party have had access to him, and find him &speed to inquire into the true state of matters. He hopes soon to find some efficacious remedy. The closing of the college of French priests, called " Freres (le la Doctrine Chrdtienne,' continues to create excite milt. The address sent to the Pope by upwares of a hundred families, in behalf of their sons whom they used to send to the college, has had no result. The fathers of these two child► en want to send them to Piedmont, Switzerland, or Frapce, rather than entrust them to the Jesuits, but the police refuse them passports, and the Jesuits triumph." SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 20th anrourice that the confinement of the Queen was exp?ctel almost every hour, and that the customary prayers for her Majesty had begun to b 3 offered up in churches. They add that it the child born be a prince he is to receive the name of Francisco de Aesis—if a prin cess, that of Purissima Concepcion (Most Pure Con ception). Several persons had gone to the Brnk to get notes changed, but the opening of a special office for tlie'r payment had restored public confi dence. In the provinces, speculators were endea vouring to obtain specie, which is stated to be abunlant, for exportation, but it is an nounced that the Government was taking mea sores to prevent theta.

The meeting of the creditors of the above steel firm was held at their offices, at Sheffield, yesterday afternoon. There was a very numerous attend ance, most of the principal creditors being repre sented. The balance-sheet, which had been prepared by Messrs. Harwood, B anner, an d Son, of Liver" pool, accountants, was read. It appeared that the assets in England were, in round numbers, as follows :—Good debts, 30,000/. ; iron, metals, ctc.' 90,0001. ; property, less mortgages, about 24,00 01 •; total assets in England (with various smaller items), about 181,0001. Assets in America, about 407, 00 °1 Total assets, 589,0001. Total liabilities of the fir in England, America, and elsewher e , about 370,00 0 k It thus appears th a t th ere i s a surplus in favour of the firm of about 220,0001. The estimate had been made rather below than above the mark. T he private property of the partners would show a ser" plus, after meeting all private liabilities of between 20,0001. and 30,0001.; so that there would be a total surplus of about a quarter of a million. There are sundry small debts owing by the firm, all unde r 2001., and amounting in the whole to about 4,000 1 . These it was determined should be paid in full ite" mediately. With respect to the general liabilities of the firm, it was proposed, seconded, and adopted' with only one dissentient, that they should all be paid in full, 20s. in the pound, in the following manner :-ss. in the pound on the 15th July, 1 85 ; ss. in the pound on the 15th October, 1858 ; Ss. ' ll the pound on the 15th January, 1859 ; and the remaining in the pound on the 15th April, 185 9 . The acceptances of the firm are to be given to the creditors immediately, in the proportions, and payable at the dates above specified. By this arrangement the creditors will immediately receive the whole amount of their claims in bills. A gen" tleman who represented the Bank of Liverpool, a large creditor, suggested that a committee of con' sultation should be appointed to advise upon the e realisation of the ass e t s an d t o i nspect the a ff a i rs 01 the firm from time to time ; but this proposition was not seconded, and it therefore feli to the ground. Mr. DUNN said that if bills were given at once, there ought to be no committee of inspection ; and that if there were a committee of inspection bills ought not to be given now, but the creditors ought not to be paid till and as the assets were realised. The decision, therefore, is, that Messrs. Naylor' Vickers, and Co., are to be entirely uncontrolled in the management of their business. Much sympathy was expressed with the firm' and the remark was general that the most surpris ing circumstance was that a house with such an ja i " wens() surplus, and with such a lucrative business' should be und er th e necess it y o f seek i ng the judo.' gence of its creditors, COMMPROIAL FAILURES.

The liabilities are supposed to amount to about to 300,000/., and the assets show a largo nominal surplus.
