We have already commented on the serious consequences resulting from an increase in the minimum rate of discount. We have not, how ever, by any means seen the worst as yet ; and it is more than probable that further restrictions will speedily be added, so that it will be impossible for even the most solvent and respectable houses, to obtain the requisite pecuniary facilities for conducting their business. The return from the Bank of England for the week ending the 3d inst. is of a very unfavourable character. The reduc tion in the stock of bullion during the week amounted to no less than 613,396/. while the decrease in the reserve is far more than double that amount, being no less than 1,408,1201., while the " other securi ties " have increased by the enormous sum of 2,116,1431., and there is an increase in the nates in the hands of the public of 805,155/. It may be said the large amount of other secu rities proves the liberality of the directors, and the great assistance which they have rendered to the trade and commerce of the country. But it is not so. No less than 1,000,0001. sterling has been advanced to the East India Company, and it is this heavy loan that has increased the rate of discount and occasioned so much confusion and dismay in monetary circles; , and as the Company still possesses a borrowing power to the further extent of 1,500,000/., it is more than probable that the operation will be repeated ere many weeks have elapsed. On Monday we expressed our belief, nothwith standing the vapouring assertions made on behalf of the East India Company by Mr. VERNON SMITH, just before the prorogation, to the effect that they had ample funds to carry on the war until next February without contracting a loan, that the Directors had taken too sanguine a view of their resource and - that they mu-t borrow, and that to no inconsiderable amount. The accu "47 of our opinion has already been fully verified. They have been obliged to borrow from the Bank of Engla n d I Lord CANNING has been try i ng t o raise money in Calcutta, and Sir JOHN LAwnENCE has done so in the Punja.ub. What then can we think of the statements that have been so strongly put forward but a few short weeks since ? They must have been either tvilf ally false, or tho Company must be singularly bad financiers, ineapabl eo f form ing a just,eatimate of the true state of their afriirs. The Directors of the British Bank are to be placed on trial for a similar erroneous account of their affairs, which has been rendered a misdemeanour by the act of last session. It is true that the Leadenhall-street magnates have not sDught to obtain money from their dupes, but they have deceived the Parliament and People of Great Br itain, and proved that they are not to be trusted with the administration of the affairs of a mighty kingdom. The charges which they are now creating must, as we stated on Monday, sooner or later fall on, the Exchequer of the United Kingdom, when the anomalous double Government is abo lished, and Hindostan becomes an integral portion of her MAJESTY'S dominions, under the direct rule of Queen VICTORIA and her responsible Ministers. Why, then, should Parliament not' be consulted on a matter of such vast importance to every taxpayer throughout the length and breadth of the land ? Why should not a loan be con tracted, with a national guarantee for its redemp tion ? By these the requisite funds could be obtained, at 31, or at most 33- per cent., which otherwise will cost fully 6 per cent., an important difference when " the little bill " is presented for payment. It will thus be obtained in a legitimate and straightforward manner, and there will be no addition to the monetary derangement, which must be the case if the Bank is again resorted to. Mr. SMITH carefully abstained from presenting an Indian Budget during the past Session. Had it been otherwise we might have obtained startling information, that would have frighted the Isle from its propriety. We know that for several years previously there had been a deficit, which, in 1853-4—the very year when we gave the Di rectors a new lease of power—amounted to more than two millions sterling, and in 1854-5 to more than one million seven hundred thousand pounds, and in 1855-6 to nearly a million. What, then, must have been the falling off since the commencement of the outbreak, when the treasuries were plundered of their contents, and the collection of revenue through a vast tract of country seriously impaired, if not altogether suspended, and a vast increaase of military expen diture coincident with the deficiency in the revenue? We know what the operations in the Crimea cost the nation. We know that Indian pay and allowances far exceed what was paid to our soldiers during the Russian war. We may then form a rough estimate of what may be re quired for crushing the rebellion and restoring the British authority in India. Would it not be well for the Directors of the Company to meet the emergency boldly and fairly To state their case unreservedly to Parliament and demand the necessary aid. They may be assured that loans of one or two millions from the Bank of England will not suf fice, although they may be productive of very disastrous consequences to the industrious classes in this country. An autumnal session is rend dered imperative by the suppressio yeri of the East India Company, if there were no other cause —and there are many—to render it both politic and expedient. Murders have recently been committed to a frightful extent in this country, generally arising from the dastardly use of the knife—au un-Eng lish weapon, used in an un-English manner. Scarcely a days occurs that we are not horrified by some sanguinary ontrage, ending in the death of the victim. Many, too, under circumstances of peculiar and cold-blooded atrocity, showing an amount of heartless deliberation on the part of the assassin. It is scarcely necessary to refer to the murder of the unfortunate woman, CHARLOTTE PUGSLEY, in the Leigh Woods, near Bristol. The person charged with the offence was her affianced husband, who had brought her from her master's house under the pretext of marrying her. Of course we do not mean to say anything as to his guilt or innocence. It must be fully investigated before a competent tribunal, and we shall be truly rejoiced if he can exonerate himself from the foul accusation. Again, there was the homicide at Birkenhead, I the fratricide in Liverpool, where one brother took the life of another in a quarrel which took place when the victim was defending his aged mother from the violence of her unnatural son. Then came the alleged parricide at BramalJ, committed under the most awful circumstances. This was speedily followed by the Balls Pond murder, in which the husband of the victim is accused, and yesterday a discovery was made of a murder as yet involved in mystery, but attended with the most revolting and horrible circum stances. In most of these deeds of violence the knife was the weapon used. CHARLOTTE PIIGSLEY had her throat cut and was also shot. The Birkenhead homicide was a case of stabbing arising out of a common street row. At Liverpool, it was also a case of stabbing, the fatal facility afforded by the knife, leading one brother to imbrue his hands in the blood of another. At Braman it was by firearms that the murdered man perished, but Mrs. Davis had her throat cut, and the latest and unknown victim was stabbed iu several places both in chest and stomach before the horrible mutilation of his inanimate body. Nothing slue the days of GREENACRE has ex cited so great a sensation as that which was yes terday brought to light at Waterloo-bridge. The body—manifestly that of a person having the appearance of a gentleman, from the clothes which he wore at the time of the murder—bad been cut into more than 20 pieces, beside which the head, hands, and feet were wanting. The bones of the legs and arms had been rudely sawn asunder, and the greater portion of the flesh re moved. This had been pickled, to prevent decom position, until a favourable opportunity cc curred of disposing of the mangled remains. There were, likewise, no less than nine stabs, seven about the region of the heart, and two in the abdomen, any one of which would have proved fatal. These ghastly evidences were packed up in a carpet bag, and the murderers, or their accom plices, manifestly thought that they had succeeded in disposing thereof in the river. Fortunately, however, it rested on one of the abutments of the bridge, and the fact of the awful outrage was thus revealed. Everything that has cone to light proves the fiendish ferocity and cunning exercised. We trust, however, that the latter may not suffice to screen the blood-thirsty assassins. The Police have already a clue which we have no doubt they will follow up with their usual sagacity, so that the majesty of the law may be vindicated, and another illustration afforded of the futility of the attempt to hide such deeds of darkness, and of the apparently trivial causes by which the most artfully contrived schemes for concealment e frustrated. Count Baptiste Metaxa bad an interview with Mr. Secretary Labouchere yesterday. Sir E. Head and Mr. Gisborae had also interviews with the right hon. gentle. man at the Colcnial-office.

LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY MORNING. The British and North American Royal Mail steam-ship Persia, Judkins, commander, has ar rived with advices from New York to the 30th ult She brOught 2001. specie on freight. On the Ist inst., at 10.45 a.m., lat. 40.42 N., lon g . 69.30 W., the,Persia exchanged signals with the Royal Mail steamer Arabia ; and on the 7th, ai 2.30 p.m., in lat. 50.95 N. long. 25.51 W., passed and exchanged signals with the Royal Mail steamer Asia, hence for New York. At New York the negotiation of mercantile paper at bank and note-brokers' offices was extremely light and at very irregular rates ; highest grades of paper were discounted at 2 to 3 per cent. per month, while very good endorses notes changel hands at 5 to 6 per cent., and even at more exorbi tant figures under peculiar circumstances. On the 29th a conference of the leading bank officers was held, which resulted in a resolution to recomm , 2n.d an immediate increase of loans and discounts to the extent of 3 per cent. The Exchange market, both foreign and domestic, was very much deranged; it was difficult to sell sterling., especially produce bill;, some of which were disposed of at 100, while bankers' brought 105 to The New York Courier and Inquirer of the 30th says:-- "Thus far the suspension extends to the Banks of Philadelphia, Lancaster, Pittsburg (the Bank of Btts ourg only excepted), Baltimore, Cumberland, Norfolk, Wheeling, and Wilmington, and the interior towns generally of those State s , P rov i dence, and all the provin cial banki. It wi'l be ob,erved that the suspension haQ been earliest in those places having a redundant batik Jirculation. This is the weak point in American bank ing, and one on which banks throughout the eouotry 4eneially fall. At New Orleans and St. Louis, where :egis'ation provides for an enlarged specie basis, their banks will not come int) th e measure of suspen iion. New Orleans has 6 ,000,000 in specie against t. circulation of 8,000,000; St. Louis has 3,000,000 in coin, to meet a limited circulation ; while Indiana, and Wisconsin are more jai tted, their issue, oeing based upon State bonds, now depreciated 15 30 per cent., instead of gold and silver." Various calls had been made by the western hankers for specie from New York to enable them to sust tin themselves. The banking-houNe of E. J. Tinkham and Co., Chicago, had sopende..] payment on the 29th. Messrs. Darby :and Rtrksdale, and wttssrs. John J. Anderson and Co., suspended at St. Louis, temporarily only, it is believe 1, both houies having capital and establi,hed credit hitherto. The New York Courier and Inquirer says : "The suspended banks at Philadelphia and Baltimore are gradually settling thenaselves down upon a non specie currency, and movements for the next 12 months will be regulated, in the first place, by the legitimate demands upon theta by their merchants, and, secondly, oy the means and measures essential to a restoration at in early day. Of a resumption there is no hope under 12 months." Of exchange, the New York Shipping List Stays "On account of the unsettled qat:, 'of money affairs not; much 'has been done for the P,r,ia.

After several conferenc?s among the presidents of all the city banks yesterday, it wts determined to suspend the payment of epecie on notes of all denorninations...to issue their own notes, including the smaller denominations, for cheques and all other obligations—and to increase the line of discounts with a view to immediate relief, while maintaining the purpose of a resumption of specie payments. It was also determined to admit the Bank of Pennsylvania to equal participation i;; this arrangement, upon the fort guieg conditions. This is the only step the banks have taken that have exhibited the concert and spirit of mu tual conciliation which the occasion demanded, and it has been followed by a cheerful rally that must be productive of great benefit."

" To-clay at noon the Emperor held a grand re view. The Empress was present on horseback. His Imperial Highness Prince Napoleon and their Excellencies Marshals Maguan, Count de Castellane, Duke of Malakoff, Count Randon, Caurobert, and Bosquet accompanied the Emperor, and added by their presence to the imposing brilliancy of this solemnity. Marshal Count laillant Minister of War, and Marshal Count Baraguay d'Etilliers vvere not able to leave Paris on account of illness. " After inspecting the troops drawn up in a double line, the Emperor distributed rewards fur good service. The troops then filed past under General Count Regnaud de St. Jean d'Angely, in admirable order. " Despite the uncertain weather a great number of spectators had cove from the neighbourhood to witness the review. " Immediately after the review her Majesty the Empress, accompanied by the marshals, left for S. Cloud. His Imperial Highness Prince Napoleon dues not leave till to-morrow. The Emperor lewes the camp on Saturday. " ORDER OF THE DAY. " 'Camp of Chalons, Oct. 8. " Soldiers,—The time we have just passed to gether will not have been lost. Your militiry in struction has increased, and the bands which unite us have been drawn closer. " ' When General Bonaparte concluded the glo rious peace of Campo Formic) he hastened to plac3 the conquerors of Italy under the drill of detach ment and battalion, thus showing how needful it is oven for old soldiers, to return incessantly to the fundamental rules of theory. That lesso❑ has not been forgotten. Scarcely returned from a glorious campaign, you bavezealously resumed the practical study of evolutions, and you have inaugurated the Camp at Chalons, which will become the great school of exercise for the whole army. " ‘ The Imperial Guard will thus always give a good example in peace as in war. Well instructed, disciplined, ready for any emergency for the benefit of the couniry, it will be for the Line, from the ranks of which it has sprung, a fair object of emu lation, and will contribute with it to maintain in tact that ancient reputation of our immortal phalanxes who have succumbed only to the excess of their glory and of their triumphs. " ' NAPOLEON." The Empress arrived last night at Pari., at a quarter past eight, and set out immediately for S. Cloud, where she arrived at nine o'clock,. Prince Napoleon has come to Paris from Chalons to-day. "It is believed," says the Union, IC that the Le gislative Body will. be convoked for the month of December, as the constitution requires it to as semble within a certain period after the elections, in order to verify the return of its members." From the Bank returns it appears that the me tallic reserve has declined both in Paris and in the branch establishments-121 millions in the forma., and 91 millions in the latter. The discount accom modation shows a considerable augmentation in Paris, namely, 23i millions ; there is also an in crease iu the branch branks, though only to the extent of 2i millions. Advances on French secu rities have increased nearly one million in Paris, and about of a million in the provinces. Advances on railway securities are it millions higher in Paris, while remaining nearly unaltered in the depar,:- ments.

The annual ploughing -match and exhibition of cattle and roots in connection with the Royal East Berks Agricultural Asssociation, took place on Tuesday, on Strood Farm, near Maidenhead. In the evening the dinner took place in the Town hall, and as many as 150 gentlemen and farmers attended. His Excellency the Belgian Minister presided, supported by the Hon. Colonel Hood, Mr. Vansittart, M.P., Captain Vernon, Captain Seymour, Captain Halford, Rev. H. Hooper, Mr. Sawyer, a county magistrate, &c. ; Mr. Palmer, M.P., was the vice-president. The " Health of the Queen" and other loyal toasts were proposed and drunk. His Fxcellency the BELGIAN MINISTER proposed " The Health of the Army and Navy." He said upon ordinary occasions he should consider it his duty to expatiate upon the qualities which distin guish the British soldier ; upon his indomitable energy, his undoubted courage, his fortitude under every trial, his manly devotion to his country and his Queen. (C t heers.) But when he reflected upon the wonderful military achievements which have taken place since the beginnirig of this awful Indian crisis, he felt that lie could not find words adequate to express the deep feeling—the solemn feel ing of admiration and respect which such glorious deeds aroused in his soul. (Cheers.) He felt that he could not do justice to the heroism of that great and good man, General Havelock—that man who with a handful of brave warriors, as opposed to a most treacherous and barbarous enemy, had offered the noblest resistance that had ever been recorded in the military annals of any country. (Cheers.) His brave soldiers were not only fighting for the regaining and maintaining a power in India, they were fighting for a cause in which all free and enlightenod nations were interested, and for the success of which they must all devoutly pray. (Hear, hear.) They were, indeed, fighting the battle of civilisation itself. Listen to the insolent language of the enemies of England abroad—of those who are the enemies of all civil and religious liberty. Already are they rejoic ing upon what they call England's humiliation and degradation ; already are they boldly predicting the downfall of England and of that hateful constitu tional government. (bear.) In the face of such dan gers, in the presence of a crisis of which it would be childish to diminish the extent and probable dura tion, they (the' meeting) would, he was sure, feel and think with him that they were to testify their admiration for the' English army and navy not only bypatriotic sympathetic effusions, not only bytoasts and cheers, not only by words, however eloquent or stirring, but by the strongest and most useful com bination of all possible means to increase that noble band of defenders. (Cheers.) Let them all put their shoulders to the wheel, let them put their hands and heads together; let them appeal in a practical way to the sterling sense of the one and to the pound ster ling of the other; let every hand that can be spat ed from the field and farm be employed in wreaking vengeance upon the butchers of innocent people. (Cheers.) Henceforth let every one of them say to the man who complains he can find no employ ment, that be can lend a helping hand to his Chris tian brethren in India—tell the labourers that they, the farmers and yeomanry, would assist in sending them over; that they would find at this moment the noblest employment that an Englishman could wish for—an employment in which they would reap the gratitude of their country, the admiration of a civilised world, and upon which they would, as with one voice, call down the blessing of God. He begged . to apologise for having spoken with some warmth upon the subject, but he really felt upon it as if he were a true-born Englishman. (Cheers.)

THOMAS'S HOS PITAL. An inquiry, which 1a.:44d nearly four hours, took place last Di,ht at the Duke of Clareuce, Horse ferry-road, Westminster, before Mr, Bedford, the coroner, touching the death of James Benton, aged 43, a drayman , in the employ of Messrs. Thorne, and Co., of the Horseferry-road, which occurred under circumstances of a very shocking and me lancholy nature. The deceased, who had been 20 years in the o - mploy of Messrs. Thorne and Co., and was a steady respectable man, has left a widow (in the last state of pregnancy) and six orphans. The case excited the utmost interest, owing to his having been turned away from St. Thomas's Hos pital, after the wheel of a loaded brewer's dray going over hs body, dislocating 17 of his ribs, his culler-bone, and his shoulder joints. Mr. Whitfield, the resident medical attendant of St. Thomas's Hospital, was present to watch the proceedings on the part of the above institution, and the superintendent of the M division of the Metropolitan Police was also in attendance, owing tl a charge being made against the driver of. a Greenwich omnibus for causing the death of the decess"d. An immense mass of evidence was brought fo'- ward ; but the whole of the facts and the attending circumstances may be given in: the following con densed detail : On Friday , evening last, between seven and eight o'clock, the deceased was proceeding up the Lon don-road, Southwark, with his team, when the driver of the Queen Greenwich. Omnibus whippqd his lead ng horse, which caused them to go oft at a hard trot ; ttiig occasioned the deceased to be jolt( d off his seat ,on the near side of the dray, the wheel going over his body. The unfortunate man was taken up in a shocking condition, and conveyed on a police Aretcher to St. Thomas's Hospital ; he was there stripped and examined by a dozen or more young medical students, who declared, after the examination, that there was " little or nothing the matter with him, and that he could not be ad mitted as a patient." In consequence of this the unfortunate sufferer was placed in a cab and con veyed home to his lodgings, in the Horseferry road, Westminster. (The jury, at this- stage of the proceedings, expressed their astonish ment and indignation at the authorities cf St. Thomas's Hospital. On the following day (Saturday) the deceased, when in a state of great exhaustion, was attended.by Mr. Knaggs, a surgeon, who discovered that nearly all his ribs, 9 on one side an& 8 on the other, were broken, his collar bone dislocated, and also his shoulder joints. The case was hopeless (although the surgeons of St. 'Thomas's Hospital said there was nothing the mat ter with him) ; Mr. Kuagge continued to attend upon him until 11.,'s death, which took place on Tues day, from the injuries above described. • - The Coroner said it was a serious charge a,gain - st so useful and pmularan institution as St. Thomas's Hospital, and inquired of Mr. Whitfield for expla nation of such can extraordinary fact. Mr. W hitfield:- said the ehest of the deceased was not examined, which accounted' for the fractures not being detected. The Jury one , and all Said, indignantly, that it was an imputa 4 ;ion and disgrage upon the institu tion. The Coroner observed that he differed from them. He said the proceedings were not in that tangible shape fig to warrant h censure upon the in stitution. A long discussion took place, when only 12 out of 17 of the jury signed for a verdict of accident.►! death, without a censure upon the hospital.

THE NEW T 44IFE-BOAT AT ATPLEDOEM—BIDEFORD Oct. 8 — s ome tiwe since the Royal National Lifeboat Institution i.ent a new lifeboat to this station. Tte boat was recently trii id, during a heavy ground sea, on Bide Cord Bar. Every expedient was resorted to to test her qualities, but it was found impossible to upset her. After pulling her ab cut in the broken sea, she proved herself to be an excellent boat, and to be fast in rowing. She was afterwards taken alongside a vessel, and by means of runnerr,.. and tackle she was capsized twice, when she in•itantly righted herself, and self-ejected the water she thus abinped in a few seconds. Such is the Class of lifeboats the above institution now stations o dangerous t ro-n-s of the coast, and the testimony in their favour is almost ti niversal. It has three lifehoats,of this description in this locality, and we trust that the public will soon enable Cie society to supply other dangerous points of the coast. city similar excellent lifeboats. In consequence of the superior character of the boats, and the care which the, institution has taken to supply their crews with every atrailiAble security fur their persons, together with the higher sodle of payments and rewards 'it gives the men, it 3:16 secured the willing and efficient cervices of our boatmen: • DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES.

ANOTHER FEARFUL COZ,LIEBY EXPLO ar,)N NEAR BARNSLE,Y: • AnOther of those fearful explosions, which are gerterally so destructive fo human life, but not ae,c om paniedby such results in the present instancce, occurred in the main pit at Higham Common Col lieries, near Barnsley, the property of Messrs. Charlesworth, at five minutes past two o'clock on Wednesday morning last. The report was heard for several miles around, and until noon hundreds of people assembled from the neighbouring villagc-r, anxious to learn the result, naturally expecting it to be attended by fearful loss of life. It soon be came known there were but two persons in the pit, who were enuaged as " cupola" attendants, and these were erawn out alive about 6 o'clock, for tunately being only slightly burnt. There were ten valuable horses inside, all of which were killed. Twenty sets of tools were generally employed dur ing the night shifts ; but on account of Wednesday being appointed by proclamation for a solemn fast and humiliation, the men working there did not desc , nd the shalt on the previous in all probability, it would have ben fatal to them. In another mint, close by, there were several men working the thin bed of coal, who heard the explo sion, bu , , luckily for them, there was no communi cation between Vie pits. The explosion wis tremendous that it blew the plates and corves aw„y from the immediate vicinity of the pit's mouth, a•ld partly destroyed the conductors. It is supposed that it wil take three weeks or a month to co-ii plate the repairs before work can again be co.n inenced. Mr...A.insWorth, the under steward, qu,,m tioned the two men, after they were drawn our, at to whether they had been out of their way or could account for the'explosion, but they eith , r could not or would not say how it occurred. If this explo sion had occurred during midday, when all the ha )ds were at work, it would have been almost as serious as the late calamity at Lundbill.—Don, easter Gazette. IRELAND. DUBLIN, FRIDAY. THE GOVERNMENT AND THE MAGISTRACY. The Lord Chancellor's letter to the Marquis of Londonderry has created quite a panic or surprise in the Irish political market. The Northern Whig, in whose columns the missive was first made public, maintains that, since 1829, a heavier blow has not been dealt against the ascendancy system in Ireland, adding : "All honour to Lord Carlisle, and to his (it is really necessary to say, Protestant) Lord Chan cellor. Government after Government in Ireland have admitted that Orangeism was their great difficulty. Lord-Carlisle has_be_en__the_first_naali_. to face the fact and grapple with the evil. He has entered upon a serious struggle, and the vigour of the act stamps him as a statesman. Ascendancy Protestantism will be staggered. Hereby that party is distinctly informed that the Viceroys of the British Sovereign are altogether unconscious of the blessings of loyal Orangeism ; and are strangely persuaded that the love of order and the frenzy for the interests of Great Britain are alto gether nuisances, perhaps sentimental, but slightly seditious. Every Orangeman is hereby advertised, by the first officials in Ireland, as a rioter or a pro moter of riots—as a bad subject, and consequently a bad Christian. It is an overwhelming decree. And let not the enthusiastically loyal persons who will immediately begin to roar resistance to the Viceroy coasolethemselves with the hope that they can appeal to the Protestant passions and bigot sym pathies of English Toryism. We are most assur edly satisfied that the Whig leaders in the Ministry have seized the opportunity of the Belfast riots to inflict that political retribution long due on the most debased, most artificial, and most mischievous party in Europe—the party of Irish Orangeism ; and we are not the less sure that the Tory leaders of Eng land will secretly applaud, and publicly, however tacitly, assent to, the just sentence passed by Lord Carlisle and his colleagues on a confederation which has been the curse of our, country, which has set man against man, and which has done its• pious utmost to rob us of one-half the blesssings which Providence has smiled upon our land. Every gen tleman who, in future, ambitions the hon.oure of the magistracy must disown all connection with a die loyal, turbulent, and dangerous body called the Orange Society. That is the prospective rule, which may, by due degrees. secure Ulster an impartial magistracy. But the Lord Chancellor's letter will have a retrospective influence. 'No man of proper feeling, disagreeing with the Government respecting the character and tendency of the Orange Society, and being an Orangeman, can hold the commission of the peace. The wish of the Government plainly is, that no magistrate should be a member of an Orange lodge. Will any Orangeman already an Ulster magistrate remain of the bench ? We hope not ; the moral and political duty of resignation of men like Lord Enniskillen and Lord Dungannon is clear. But we dare say Orange loyalty will reveal itself by disobedience and defiance to the Queen's wishes and the Viceroy's orders. So be it ; the country will soon learn to know the difference between the legal magistrates and other magistrates for the administration of the law Who are distrusted by the Government. But the blow has been struck. Orangeism is declared a vulgarity. The, gentry will shun it. Its day is over. What a comment is the Lord Chancellor's letter en the enthusiastic and e'oquent boasts of the Tory journals, that the Riots Commission inquiry had demonstrated that the Roman Catholic mob caused all the ruffianism ? Why is it that Lord Car lisle, whose speeches and writings are heartily Pro testant, passes by the mobs, both Protestant and Catholic, and puts his finger on the magistracy 7" THE FRAUDS ON THE BELFAST CUSTOMS. No trace yet of the ingenious Mr. Moore, but vigorous efforts, it seems, are being made to bring to justice every person connected with the frauds. "On Tuesday (says the Whig) Mr. Gardiner, a gentleman holding a high position in connection with the Customs in Dublin, arrived in Belfast un der instructions that he was to leave nomatter un touched which could explain the character of the fraud and robbery. This gentleman immediately put himself in communi ca ti on w ith some o f t h e l oca l • magistracy, and opened a career of examination of the most searching and determined character. Mr. Gardiner held an interview on Tuesday with Mr. Tracy, who, although at present on leave of absence from official duties, takes a deep interest in this case, and also met Dr. M‘Ghee. These gentlemen took up the suggestion which we published on Tuesday, and obliged the carman who conveyed Moore to Lisburn to appear before them. This person, we have been given to understand on the he s st authority, gave some important information. It would be injudicious, at the present stage of the inquiry, to disclose all the facts to which this party testifies. Enough it is to say that he has told some things that at some future day may enliehten the public. Now, the great question is as to the whereabouts of Moore. We have made a very close investigation among persons most likely to be well informed on the subject, and the general impres sion is, that he has not left Great Britain and Ire land. This is the opinion of the ablest members of the police force after having studied the case with great carefulness, and we have reason t o be lieve that Mr. Gardiner is of the same opinion. This gentleman is conducting the case with sin gular caution and secresy, and, at present, the leading point of the investigation is simply this —whether a case can to got up which would justify Mr. Gardiner advising the Customs' autho rities to direct a detective officer to proceed to the 'United States in search of Moore. With respect to the whole of the transaction we have heard a mass of statements, the majority of which we cannot rely upon. But we have this before us, unmis takeably, that there has been an immense conni vance in. some leading circles in the transaction. We have had it confessed to us by one gentleman, that on the Thursday night prior to the informs • Lion received by the police he met Moore in Bam bridge's, and that there he told By if you have touched a chest of my tea I'll make a sacrifice of you !' Whether the chests of tea belonging to this person, so full of commercial morality, were dummied' or not, we have not heard, but his suggestion was full of characteristic import. But what is this in comparison with Harbison's statement ? We must especially direct the attention of Mr. Gardiner to the information that Harbison can supply. The great point of his knowledge is connected with Moore's counting- Louse books, but there is as yet some secresy maintained in- this part of the case. Mr. Harbison states that in Moore's counting-house books the purchasers of the teas are specifically named, but that there are certain hieroglyphic characters in them which he could easily reveal, and which afford curious revelations. Here we have at once a clue to the buyers of the teas which Mr. Gardiner must follow •up. Strange enoug - a, amid all the excitement , which • com mercial circles have manifested for the ap prehension of Moore, no reward has yet been offered for his seizure. The Belfast police issued on Tuesday the following notification : "' [For Police officers' only.]—Description of John James Moore, late of Belfast, in the county of Antrim, tea merchant, charged with stealing 800 chests of tea from one of her Majesty's bonded stores in this town, and for whose apprehension I hold a warrant :—He is about 35 years old, 5 feet 7i inches, well-formed, not corpulent, dark hair, slightly bald on the head, thin sandy whiskers, red oval face, hollow cheeks, high cheekbones, large red nose ; holds his face down when 'walking ; has rather a jaunty appearance ; wore' a 'black frock coat and gray trousers when last seen. Police officers are requested to search for and apprehend. said John James Moore, and communicate with me.—Thomas Lindsay, chief constable, Police office, Belfast." A NEW CROP OF SEDITIOUS PLACARDS IN NENA.GIt The Nenggh. Guardian, received this morning, states Viet a fresh batch of Svoy posters have appeared on the wale of that town. Specimens are furnished : Tipperary Men I ! Are you men If you have the spirit of Irishmen, do not negl. , _ct Ireland's opportunity! Up for the Green I Hurrah for the Indian Revolution 1 !

England defeated. God bless the Rebels of India. liburrah for Free6ona. Another placard, stuck on the pillars of a church, called the 7th of October a Dal of Exultation for the gallant SePoys. LORD BROUGHA3eI3 SEPOY PROPIIROY.—A singular anticipation of the possible entire revolt of the Indian native army is recorded in Hansard's Commons Debates, 7th February 1828. Mr. Brougham, .in his celebrated -pooch on Law Reform, denounced among other abuses in our judiciary system the delays and costliness of Indian appeals decided in London by the former ill-con stituted Court of Privy Council. He contrasted the evil with the then improved law n;urts of Ceylon, stat ing that one good effect had resulted in the latter colony as the Ceylon people, previously reheldous, in 1816 aided the mother country in putting down and c-ushing a military mutiny. Mr. Brougham further observed, " So it will be in the Peninsula if you give your subjec's . _a share in administering your laws, and an interest and pride in supporting you. Should the day ever come when disaffection may appeal to 70,000,000 against a few thousand strangers, who have planted themselvea upon the rains of the ancient dynasties, you will find how much safer it i s to have won their hearts, and uni vareally cemented their attachment by a common interest in your system, than to rely upon 150,000 Sepoy', dworde, of excellent temper but in doubtful bands." baet ing T 1 nth, the i Was land Ti quot gold, coin, 6s. 1 five-I Al the TI in Lc are u have prey; Th and z Th© ; thiB of lx Th Stoct ca n , ditto —... ; per ( ditto ditto Ita Rail traw 'Vest Cal el shire (Yor BM' 3 tie , fl.l Paul C,LB Es F] Bro L.►ui SI,IX Tins Ea .1 ~D T,;,
