C. LEwis made a long and dreary speech in introducing the currency question, which gave but little information to the community. Of course, he wants an act of indemnity for the vio lation of the law. It required po degree of pre lenience to foresee that result. It was the very matter for which Parliament was avowedly con. vened, and which was of course indispensable. But we have gained nothing from the speech of the financial Minister, which was just as vague as, and if possible more dreary than, any of his former harangues. He uttered a number of pom pous platitudes respecting panics, and announced the great fact that one might take place in Ham burg, where there was a pure metallic circulating medium. It is the limitation to the issues— the prevention of the expansive power so urgently required—the total repudiation of discretion, that creates the chief mischief !—so long as converti bil4y is maintained. We have frequently explained our views en that point, and cannot therefore be misjudged. The Act of 1819 occasioned the evil which that of 1844 so fearfully aggravated. If, therefore, we speak on behalf of a less favourable representative of value, it is under protest, and rather accepting the change as an instalment of justice, than as a permanent monetary code, which would render the country prosperous and give fair play to in ttestry. We are strongly opposed to bullionism, tut for the present the battle is to be fought with " the hard calculators," who have dropped their distuiaee, and are at the eleventh hour appearing In their true colours. The great point now to be achieved; is to insist on immediate legislation, so as to get rid of the dodge for further inquiry. ti n snc , There are ampl e materials for legislation. The t o pic has been exha us t ed. The report of the Lords' Committee showed the m i schievous cense serious dan gers a • fineness and Although cirerlsmig ta from now a t h n e a action of the law. are different, they only show it in an alt e red, if possible a stronger, light. The evidence o f t h e \ majority of witnesses has been corroborated, and may now be acted on with p er f ect safety. If procrastination is permitted, the matter will be shelved until a large proportion of the community become apathetic and indiffe rent on , the point, in which, beyond all others, they are mainly interested. Mr. DIURAELI was in one respect right in draw ing the distinction between the monetary require ments of foreign and domestic trade. The latter should not be crushed for the purpose of a very doubtful benefit to the former. If we look to the terrible list of failures—the black catalogue of those who have been compelled to suspend payments although with ample assets to meet every liability— who have been the victims of the Act of 1844, we must universally acknowledge the fearful error into which, in sanctioning that iniquitous and im politic law, we have fallen. Oa Friday next the re-appointment of the com mittee is to be moved for by Sir G. C. Limns. We are glad to find that it will be resisted. It is a specious pretext, a transparent humbug to de ceive the community. Let the intentions of Mi nisters be fairly announced, but do not permit them to shelve the question for an indefinite pe riod. We trust that Lord DERBY, and Mr. DISRAELI, and Mr. HENLEY, will satisfy the Go vernment of the danger of acting in accordance with the views of the hard calculators, otherwise the time may speedily come when the 'nation will call for a very decided change of Ministry. Sir C. CRESSWELL has pronounced his opinion respecting the very important question of the validity of a marriage with a deceased wife's sister in a country where it is fully recognised and respected. Judgment has not yet been given, and from the hesitation displayed by Sir J. STUART, we hope and believe that he does not quite agree with the Judge called in to assist him. At all events the matter has not as yet been satled, and we have no doubt that it will be carried to the highest tribunal in the land, before the opinion is suc- Sam cumbed to. The consequences thereof would be of a very terrible character. Not only would many persons of unquestionably moral and religious character be plunged into deep distress and misery, but thousands of innocent children would be deprived of their birthrights, and improperly and unjustly branded, with the stain of illegitimacy. We should also find some extrordinary results. Polygamy would be legalised. A man might have two law ful wives—aye, or three. Living close to the border he might have two establishments within a few miles, and another on the Continent. A Scotch divorce would entitle him to marry in the sister kingdom, but it will not be respected south of the Tweed. Of course he may marry his deceased wife's sister in Germany. There will, then, be two valid marriages according to the lee loci, or rather leges locorum, and when he comes to Merry England he may repudiate both, and contract a third nuptials. This view of the case may appear extravagant, but it follows from the judgment of Mr. Justice CRESSWELL, which is alike opposed to natural justice and to public policy. We have but Etat, doubt of its reversal either by judicial or legislative authori ties ; and it is, perhaps, fortunate that the issue has at length been fairly raised, so that no further postponements or procrastination can be tolerated. We may hive something more to say on this important subject shortly, which will prone, be yond the possibility of doubt, the nature and extent of the error into which Sir C. CItESSWELL has fillers. It is gratifying to learn from the very best authority that our at med warfare with the slave trade has not been altogether in vain. Dr. LIVINGSTONE'S letter to the Times last Wednesday effectually disp3ses of the almost pro-slavery sug gestions of that journal. We trust that the tone of several of its articles on slavery and the slave trade will not lead foreigners to imagine that the great English public is either hoodwinked or has lost the least of its anti-slavery feeling. Hints on the cost of our cruisers employed on the coast of Africa appear every now and then, probably at the suggestion of Manchester cotton-men ; but our royal navy needs a little active work some where, and we hardly know how it could be more honourably employed than in suppressing the most hellish deeds which have ever disgraced the ocean. We have been repeatedly told, however, that it does no good. The Times suggests as much ; but Dr. LIVINGSTONE tells us a very gratifying fact or two touching the efficiency of our operations. He wer,t, be it observed, to the Portuguese settle ments prejudiced against our cruising operations. His unusually strong sense and candour, however, soon appreciated the bearing of two or three un questionable facts. First, he found the Portu guese talking in the past tense of the good old days of the slave-trade. Secondly, ho found that in these good old days individuals were rich who could not maintain that character in these latter days of British cruisers. Thirdly, and here the evidence is surely unmistakeable, slave-boys, about 150 miles from the coast, were sold for 124. each, who used to fetch 60 cr i 0 dollars in the "good old days of the slave-trade." They were INA worth, of course, hunting and capturing. Fourthly, the frank confession of those who ought t) know 'best, proved that the cruisers were the main check on the trade. This was not all. The Government now com pels a large number of carriers to bring merchan dise at a very low price -2d. a day--to the coast, when previously to our squadron being raised to efficient strength, the work was done by slaves whom the traders bought where they bought their goods, and sold and shipped the slaves as easily as the ivoryand other articles of African production. This was stepped in 1845 by the large augmenta tion of oursquathon.- The spectacle of large gangs of slaves marched down to the coast, frequently seen previously to 1845, has not been witnessed since then. The Custom-house receipts from this source for head money have since then ceased. So far as the trade is carried on by stealth, it has become a very difficult game, since for a small consideration some of the Portuguese thomselves will betray the villains to our officers ; and the kidnappers have to conceal their victims in pl►ces to the north of Loando, not only from our cruisers but from their own people too. So bad is the trade indeed, that the Dr. had seen eight slaves taken into the country from the coast to purchase ivory. Dr. LIVINGSTONE, who has so thoroughly seeu the interior, indignantly protests against the as sertion that " Africans take delight in hunting, buying and selling each other, any more than Englishmen glory in hanging themselves in the month of November." He lays great blame on the prostitution of the American flag (is it a prostitu tion of a Slave Republic's flag ?) as the great encouragement to the slave trade ; professes his principal reliance to be on the introduction of commerce, civilisation, and the cu i tivation of do mestic produce, as the ultimate means of putting down the t ra d e ; b ut he justly observes, that till hop e of this musk be given up if , 4 the coast tribes are to be h ounded -on by Europeans to hunt down the defe nce l ess inland inhabi:ants on the absurd pretence of p romotin g free emigration. We hope the Emperor of the FRENOR and EX PERTUS o f the Times will study the l e tt er of the great African Traveller. LATEST NEWS AUSTRALIA. By the arrival of the Simla we have received files of papers from Melbourne to the 15th Oct., and Sydney to the 13th Oct. We take the following from the summary pub lished in the Melbourne Age of 15th Oct " COMMERCIAL. " There have been few changes in the import markets since the departure of the Emeu, the only movement of importance being in sugars and teas, and generally in Eastern produce. The intelligence from India, together with the news of an increased demand at Mauritius, and the comparatively low stocks in this and the neighbouring colonies, occa sioned a rise of from 4/. to 6/. a ton in every dt scrip tion of sugar. This advance has been well sus tained, though the last sales of cargoes just arrived show a slight reaction. There is, however, every likelihood of prices remaining firm for some months to come. " The markets have been very quiet in spirits and wines. Holders of the former have been accepting declining rates since the arrival of the Simla, and from the large quantities still in bond, and the smaller consumption during the summer months, it is not probable that the high prices obtained a few weeks back will be recovered. Martell's is now quoted at 17s. 6d. to 18s., and the position of other brandies corresponds according to the estimation in which they are held. A considerable amount of business has been doing in bulk, and bottled beers. Bass's has been firmly advancing, and is now sale able at 9/. ss. to 91. 10s. Recent sales to arrive over a term of months are reported at 8/. ss. Byass's rter and ale are worth lls. 91. to 123. Several second-class brands have been in good de mand, and have commanded better prices. As the summer advances, this department of business pro mises to attract a fair share of attention. The only wines that have been much inquired after are claret and light summer wines. " Business has presented more animation during the last month, as the diggings have been more prosperous. The success of the new rushes, the in troduction of improved machinery, and the larger supply of water have all co-operated to increase the means of the diggers, and proportionately to ill prove the position of storekeepers. Hence larger orders are coming to town, and it is expected that as the season advances, the amount of loading sent up the country will steadily improve, it being well known that for a long time back stocks have been kept exceedingly low, and limited almost entirely to articles of absolute necessity. "GOLD. "The intelligence from the various gold-fields during the last month his generally been of a favourable character. Upon many of the older diggings the want of water seriously impeded ope ra,ions. Bat this want has been supplied by the recent heavy rains. Hence the paddlers and crushers have bee❑ enabled to realise upon their accumulations of washing stuff. The more exten sive introduction of efficient machinery in con nection with the quartz reefs, which are every month being further developed, has rendered systematic mining a more certain and lucrative oc cupation than digging ; and the yield from this source is steadily increasing. Tile new rushes at Mount Ararat and Mount Reasai,l t have fulfilled the expectations formed of them at the commencement. Hundreds, of course, have abandoned the new ground in disappointment, but this is invariably the case with a new rush ; but a largo population remains behind, whe will in all likelihood b 3 per manently employed upon those fields ; and, judging, by the successive ecorts coming down, Ararat will continue to rank among our richest diggings. Deep sinking and quartz mining will no doubt in due time succeed tue more primitive farms of gold seeking, which are always at Eir,t adopted upon new ground, and the wore sanguine predict that a second Ballarat would be established. Many minor rushes have taken place lately with more or less succe: , s ; but the cry of a new gold-field has become a matter of such frequent occurrence that it now excites little attention, unless the attraction presented be suffi cient to occasion the migration of 40,000 or 50,000 of the moveable population of our auriferous dis tricts in the coarse of a few weeks, as was the case wi en Mount Ararat was discovered. The following figures will show the comparative returns by the weekly escorts for the last four weeks, and the four corresponding weeks of 1856 : 1857. 1856. Week ending Sept. 18th Sept. 26th -- Oct. Id Oct. 9th For several weeks there his b en a steady in crease in the quantities brought down by the escorts. The return.' for the several mouths of 1857 are : oz. ilwt.

The duty paid upon this quantity is 269,8521. 14s. 9J., according to the re turns of the Custom-house. " IMMIGRATION AND LABOUR. " Victona is still receiving from the Old World more immigrants than, in the present condition of our land system, we can readily ab3orb. It is calculated that at least ;30,000 have been added to our population during the past year ; and immi grants are still pouring in at the rate of 1,000 a werk. If the Lend question were settled on a leg.ti nrzte basis, this would b.) a source of real plt.asure and profit to the country ; but under existing cir cumstances the iinin'grant, full of hope and enthu siasm upon lauding here, too ft.) quontly quills before the impediments cast in the way of honest industry. " Since our lastsummary, howover, the condition of the people has some That improve 1. The Go vernment has provided temporary work for a large number of these who were on the verge of destitu tion, and others have.beeti abs ooct,.V private . in dustrial enterprise. With the'brOSpeet of an abun dant harvest, the hopes of the people have been proportionately elevated, and we'are disposed to congratulate ourselves upon having passed' over the darkest phase of Vie commer,ial crisis. We shdl always be subject to similar visitations, however, until the exising monopolies and iinpedimeuts to industry are swept away, and our resources as a nation are pe , mitted a healthy development. " THE CHINESE. "The antipathy between the white population of Victoria and the Chinese chontinues unabat•d. At the goldfields and elsewhere collisions occasionally, occur, and it is believed that there would be a gen eral rising of the Europ ‘ans for the expulsion of the ob noxious race but for the prospect of speedy legisla tion upon the subject. Ou the 25th ulc. Mr. Haines obtained the sanction of the House of Assembly to withdraw A Bill to provide for the residence of the Chinese in Vict - Jria.' The principle of the mea- I sure is embodied in the fdloiving res ' That it is expedL•nt that every male native of China or its dependencies, or of any island in the Chinese Seas, and every person above the age of 12 years born of Chinese parents, should, on or bif..re the Ist day of every month, obtain a licence to re side in Victoria, and should pay for the same a sum of 112 The measure has already passed a second reading, and in some shape it is alnr - ...5t certain to become law, as the public are all but unanimous in desiring to put a proper limit to Chinese immigra tion. In the meantime, the clandestine immigra tion through Guichen Bay has considerably fallen off. REVIEW OF THE MARKETS. (From the Melbourne Journal of Commerce of Oct. 15 ) Our last special edition for transmission by the Over land 'Mail was issued on the 16th of September, since which (LI) we have continued without any more recent advices from E-igland or the Ea=t until yester day, when the European arrived, full nine days after her contract time, the delay having arisen from defects in her machinery, which will require complete overhauling, and considerable doubt is entertained of her being able to leave Sydney next month at the usual time. As the letters were only delivered late last evening it it as yet impossible to ray how the market will be affectel by the new , . In British pro ducts we do not expect much alteration, but Eastern produce seems likely to be influecc,d by it. as in quiries for rice were active during the whole of yester day. From 'Mauritius the aclounts are rather unfa vourable for holders of sugars, and we may expect some re-action from the recent advance here. The detention of the mail, al.hough during the la 4 10 days it has disarranged, has not seriously affec'ed business ; and it is considered that in the present stat 3 of our market the absence of advices, which it was generally thought would bring information of ex'.remely heavy shipments, has acted rather benefic'al'y than other4ise, and has allowed a good many goo '5 to go into c insumptiov, of which purchases wool I have been probably curtailed it the extent of missions had been accurately known. Tao tanath which has elapsed since the despatch of the last mail bas been chiefly marked by very great stringency in the money market, the banks having seemingly cJrne to the conclusion, or been forced to it by a scarcity of money, greatly to• restrict, and •in a measure entirely to stop those discount facilities which they had been extending to houses of small means ; as these measures were intended to force such parties to a c ish system of business, they made little distinction as to the class of paper offered, and indiscriminately throwing out good as well as bad paper, if held in weak bands, many idle, injurious rumours were current dur ing the month, but for which not the least or remotest foundation existed, and which arose entirely from the above-mentioned cause. It is wonderful how rtgu larly, in spite of the scarcity of money, all engage ments have been met, and the absence of failures, in spite of the sudden withdrawal of accom modat'on, augurs an extremely healthy state of trade, an entire absence of overtrading, and a sufficiency of capital in even the smallest business proportionate to the extent of its engagements. Few commercial com• munities could have pas•ed through an ordeal such as we have lately been subjected to with such ease and facility ; and we believe that no other conclusion can be come to but that the trading community, as a body, is in an extremely prosperous condition, possess ng individu ally greater elasticity and extent of resources than was imagined, as otherwise they could not have weathered the late financial crisis as they have done ; for wo do not Exaggerate facts when we state that but four weeks ago, for all purposes of meeting current liabilities, neither goads nor bills were of negotiable value in the hands of small house•. The improvement of trade on the diggings, consequent on a plentiful fall of rain and a re' urn of the population from various rushes to their old localities, on an im proved find of gold on old, and continued good success in new fields, and on a general diminution of stocks, owl ,g to the large quantities forwarded to and consumed on new rushes, has greatly conduced to relieve the pres sure which would otherwise have been fel: in town; and it affords an a iditional guarantee of the impossibility of any serious derangement of our commercial and financ'al prosp-rity, as I,.ng as the gold-fields show no signs of diminished yield. Favourably, therefore, as we can report of the conditions and prospects of our local trade, we have to speak again in very opp.isi e terms of the state of the import business. Since the middle of last month, although a better trade with the interior has created a demand for goods, and a continuance of unfavourable winds has caused British arri vals to be few, prices have not in the least advanced, and the mass of goods offering for sale seems as large as ever, and effectually prevents any improvement. In fact, prices for many articles have again declined, and some generally very current staples are even more unsaleable than at the time of departure of last mail - in which c a te go ry we h ave to place b ran di es , case an d bulk, Old Tom, and whisky, bar iron, currents, cheese, and boots and shoes. Butter, if new and good—conditions which in late arrivals have not been met with—is in considerably better demand, and a price above market quot ations could be got for it ; but the quantities of inferior butter on hand are tremendously large, an .l probably not less than 15000 firkins— lots of 2,00 J and 3,030 firkins being held by more parties than one. For oilmen's stores a good demand has arisen, and although not positively higher, full market rates have b3en established. Oats have pretty well withstood the pressure of arrival, but timber, galvanized iron, and sheet load have, owing to heavy imports, rather declined. Candles are firmly held for 14. W. In other leading articles of import there is not much change from last month, and the diffi culty of moving off goods remains undiminished. While Briti;ll imports, as a rule are doing badly, Eastern produce has again very materially advanced ; wad while holders on the spot have been greatly benefitted, even for importers some profit remains on }resent extrava gant cost prices. The greatest cha ige has taken place in the value of tea, which, after steadily advancing to W. 155., have again taken a start this week, hollers asking 101. 108. the chest fur good cengous. Mauritius sugar at one time during the past month touched 581. fur medium coun ters, bet several shipments have come to hand the price receded to 551. ; but for first rate light counters 58/. can be got. Cossipors is firm at 651.,' and holders are sanguine that this class of sugar, as well as Patna rice, will advance considerably, as they expect that produce will rule very high in Calcutta, owing to the complications arising from the Sepoy mutiny. In Vie export trade there is no material change. Wool and tallow remain very high, but hides have fallen full 30 per cent.. Exchange on London has, since the last mail, been reduced to per cent., under which none of the banks are drawing. (From the .1,9 c of October 1.5.) There were 24,284 oz. 4 dwts. of gold entered for ship ment to-day per Simla for London. The Customs revenue for Oct. 13, 1857, is as under : Brandy, 2,425 gallons, 1,2131 6s lld ; gin 1,20 i ditto, 6021 [163 3d ; rum, 711 ditto, 3551 163 ; whisky, 41.) ditto, 268/ 63 ; cordials, 31 ditto, 161 4s ld ; other spirits, 92 ditto, 461 les Ild ; w i ne , 1,994 ditto, 19918 3; beer, 14,936 ditto, 3731 8r; tobacco, 1,285 lb, 1281 103; cigars, 161 ditto, 211 Os ' • coffee, 831 ditto, 6/ 18s 6,1; sug; r, 90 cwt, 2711; gold , 12,309 oz. 3 dwt, 1,538112 s lld ; tonnage, 621 9s; passengers' rate, 131 123 6d • other moneys, 33 Total revenue, 4,853/ lls 2d.

The arrival on the same day of the two mails gave occasion to more bustle and excitement th to has b3en ob servab . f r sorne time aiout tLe haunts of commerce, and the various rumours of important news respecting the dis turbances in India and other items of information were largely a mvassed. The preparation of the home mail has been the principal occupation of the day. The mail just arrived, !part of which was deliverJd this afternoon, has come ba! ely in time to admit of return letters being sent per Simla. We take the following fioni the Sydney Herald of the 10th October 4 FRIDAY EVENING, Oct. 9.

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly, and prices were unaltered. The sales were estimated at 3,000 bales. The Railway Share Market was dull, and values were main tained. A satisfactory impression has been created by the Bank of England retur❑ completed to Wednes day last, for although the increase in the bullion is smaller than was expected, the movement in the Reserve of Notes, and the private securities continues favourable. The position of the estab lishment is slowly improving, and with a continuous influx of gold and a diminution of the pressure for accommodation, each weekly statement will ex hibit an amendment. There is no immediate prospect of a lower rate of discount, for the reserve of notes at the present moment would only stand at 268,3401., if the 2,000,0001. over-issued were withdrawn.

A FRENCH SKETCH OF THE QUEEN AND PRINCE ALBERT.—The Queen, whom every one saw at Paris, has-a lively eye, a bright complexion, and prompt gestates; she beconseie animated .veh lespeaking, aniP shakes her marabouts,` ishich gieee - her mare of merry gracefulne,s than of Royal dignity, especially as be forth., rounded by a nascent embonpoint, a re better stilled !or 'tranquility. 'The expression of her look is singular, and preoccupied by a m'scture of blunt simplicity and of compressed raillery. Although short, she appears tall when seated. She frequently changes colour, has beautiful hair, long eyelashes, and fine eyebrows, which melt into the satin sleeknese of her skin. There is a vague aspect of the plump Parisienne, with an Angle-Germanic head. Her portraits, c'tlmsy flatterers, in order to endow her with the inertebeauty of the vignettes, have robbed her countenan ce o f all its character and vitality. On each side of her was alal y, chosen with too much discernment, and at the back the Prince Albert. Hie coinpLxion grove lighter and lighter iu proportion a' embonpoint raises and stretches the tissues of the sk;n ; et the same time his forehead loses i-s locks, and the flower of youth is giving place to prosaic maturity. You are less struck with the regularity of.hte features than with the air of goed nature which distinguishes his countenance. The husband of the Queen is esteemed ; be was altogether sym pathetic before the commeacemer,t of the Russian war; he interests those who behold him for the first time, as would any man placed in a difficult position in which he acquits himself with honour. He is reported to be affable; and, far from seeking to make himself of importance, he resists every temptation to put his influence in a conspicuous light. Finally, he takes pains to show that his attention is occupied with the progress of the fine arts, as well as of every its stitution that bears on social economy, and to seek nobody's favour on any other grounds than those of his modesty and his personal merits. Such conduct evinces great talent, and something better than talent. In Eug lend the position given to Prince Albert is more gravely appreciated than in France, on Selic ground ; and yet, in France especially, is there a gallant man, if only he be married, who is not more or less the husband of the Queen.—Houseitold Words. 125 LOBS OF LIFE BY THE INDIAN MUTINIES. —The Cal wo cutta correspondent of the Nonconformist, in a letter 40 received by the l as t ma il, h as a rrived, after much careful inquiry, a t an es ti ma t e o f th e loss of life theamongtO d English and E as t I n di an population during the dreadful di _u_ I je massacres of this rebellion. In several stations the 100 number has been ascertained with great exactness, a few 100 having been killed out of a great many, and the survlvo in rs calculating by name each one whoi aw c ism n iss o mg : But when a 12 cases like Delhi, Futtegber , anri possible Pre only t 4 ! whole population was cut off, it is arrive at an approximation to the truth. His list is of i course imperfect, intelligence being still required from Lucknow, Agra, Indore, and other places, before it is pos. Bible to make it both correct and complete. It does not include a single native, nor an y persons killed in the different battles ; it is the list only of those inassaeyed or of those who have dial from fever and sunstroke in 25 striving to escape ; ne vertheless, its items mak e a total 1 20 of 1 , 524 officers, civilians, clerks, missionaries, women, CO children and others. 01 this large number, the loss of 1 - 0 military officers amounts to 256,1 and that of women and children to 674. If the entire story of their suffer- V jogs and those of the survivors be carefully weighed, ' it will surely be found that we have passed this year through one of the incet frightful calamities ever re corded among a waled people.
