CITY, Two o'CLocx. Letters from Liverpool state that the Cotton llttket yesterday closed with more activity, and I ‘,_good speculative demand was ex p erienced, at the ill prices of last week. The sales were 6,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken for export - , and !like number on speculation. The Railway Share Alarket continued to improve, and closcd firmly, at a slight advanc 3 on Tuesday's rai es. During the month of April the amount of divi dends paid on English Mining Shares was 49,840/. The market for silver is now very quiet - , and during the next few days business will no doubt continue dull. This is usually the case as soon as the Ste amersi for India and China leave Southampton. Is stat e d as a r eason why the ship ments b y the I' tld e B were not larger, that s -veral boxes of specie in tended f or ex port sere left behind, and the re tial ttances by the next steamer a re ex p ected to be be ? b heavy in consequence. Th e q uantit y of silver t ght, by the Parana, together with the amount I)2Zieusly on hand will be almost sufficient for the "") so that very few purchases aro likely to be ai e en the Continent. There is some proba btY, therefore, of a moderate p ro p ortion of the g ;„ ' i &just received from Australia being sold to e Bank authorities. The supp l y brou g ht b y th e Morning Star arrived in town yesterday after koot. 4t eceunts from Paris report a further im p rove- Th i s -men t in the position of the Bank of France. It St l ated that the bullion, since the last return was has increased 30,000,000 f. The Bourse, -wev er) is still very depr essed, and some fail ures, resulting from the settlement ,*have occurred, ' j ell have added to the weakness of prices. N The first ordinary' meeting of the Fort Bowen of e 7 Company has just been h eld. The substance t he report was that the erection of water-power mac hinery was now being proceeded with, and pre parations made for opening the mine. The value ' a e gold ore would be known shortly from a ko r m, krii - o - vu ' s working of the stamp. Of the whole lint of shares 43,617 remained on hand. The accounts showed a balance in hand of 941. 10s. 4d. Th e report was agreed to. further arrival of gold from Australia has been aillienneed, viz , 192,0001. by the Sussex. It is gen erally believed that a port ion of this and the late remittances will betaken to the Bank, althou g h the agents of the Bank of France ma y secure a 1 1 amount. t 0 the i s a considerable demand for money owing t he payments due to - day, and the market tem porarily is very stringent. It is s u pp osed that the a g r egate amount of bills to be met to - d a y is not p:t tielllarly h e avy, but for a long t ; me past the e,market h as b een i n suc h a sensitive state that the s t extra pressure exercises a unarke I influence. 1 14 h e settlement of the account in E n g lish Stocks b ot p r c'eeeded satisfactorily, but prices have declined, w ithatanding further arrivals of gold. The de pression at Paris and the tightness of the mone y mar ket affect values, and no support is given by 93' i nvestments.

Leasing 'ompanles Closing Price* yester ' ay.! itusiness this ds,y Madame Celeste took her benefit last night, when a house densely crowded in all parts_ testified to the estimation in which one of the most versatile ttnd accomplished of modern actresses continues to be held by the public. The occasion was celebrated by the first performance of " George Darville;" a new and original drama, in five acts, by Mr. D. Bourcicault, the author of " Janet Pride." The hero, admirably personated by Mr. Webster, first appears as a young man of artistic talent, who dares aspire to the band of the only daughter of his em ployer' a wealthy merchant, but he is spurned by the father, though beloved by. the daughter. In this state of mind he finds a pocket-book, with twenty thousand pounds in it, which a Mr. Leslie has 10-t: Tempted by the thief who hss stolen it, he takes half the amount, is announced' as having suddenly succdeded to a fortune, and, on b?ing re introduced to hislate employer, marries the daughter. The man whohas been robbed is supposed to have ap propriated the noteq, a suspicion which blast s his cha racter, and hus, doublywronged, he commits suicide. This completes the remorse of George Darville, who henceforth is a crime-stricken wretch, and under ga•es every phase of fear and mental distress.

Madame Celeste plays the part of the wife with fervid- feeling and genuine pathos, and we 1 deserves the tears, applause, and bouquets plenteously bestowed upon her. Indeed, the acting was admirable throughout, and even had not the drama the intrinsic merit which it does possess, it would be worth while to see it for the sake of the artistic delineation. Mr. Webster's performance is worthy of the - highest praise. Mr. Wright takes a comic character, and makes-the most of a lapse of ten years between one of the acts, opening the next with five boys and fopr girls, and boasting that he has not been idle ii 4 the interim. This family of five young'Wrightvand four Miss Wyndharns was the r•ource of much merriment. - The mounting of the piece is in the best Adelphi style, and the scenery,' by 'Messrs. Pitt and:. 0.

Mr. Seckertide, jobbers, •o apply that claims admitted at a previous meeting, should be converted into prOofs.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day). BOW-STREET. , THE LATE EXTENSIVE FORGERY BY A CLERK.—This morning Thomas Brooks and John Hardy were placed M the bar, on remand, charged with forgery, It will be recollected that- the prisoner Brooks was lately in the empty of Mr. Barton, advertising agent, of Wellington-street, but had been discharged. Having possessed himself of a cheque-book of the Lon don and Westminster Bank, be drew about 40 cheques, and obtained money on them to a very large amount. Inspector Mackenzie said that, in addition to the cases already heard, he was now prepared with evidence on three other charges. The first witness called was John Wetherell, 32, Vere-street, Clare-market, said be was a licensed victualler, and last Saturday week Hardy came into the private bar and produced a note in which was enclosed a cheque for 61. 53., requesting that, as it was too late to go to the Bank, his wife would oblige the writer with cash for it. The note was signed by a particular friend of his, and he accordingly gave the pri soner six soveregns and five shillings. The cheque was purported to be drawn by Chubb and Son, in favour of Wm. Johnson. By Mr. Lewis, who appeared for Hardy—lt was about half-past seven when the prisoner came to his house. He did not see him longer than five minutes. He was alone. The gas was not lit, but there was sufficient light for him to be positive Hardy was the person who pre sented the note. On Tuesday last, at the station-house, he said he believed Brooks to be the person who . pre tented the cheque. He never said positively that Brooks was the person who presented The note. Immediately he saw Hardy he identified him as the party. • Mr. W. Johnson said ho resided at 20, Duke-street, Lincoln's inn-fields, and was well acquainted with the last witness. The note presented to the last witness was not in his handwriting—neither the body of it nor the signature. He never authorised any person to write such a note. The cheque which_ vas inclosed in the note he never saw until, the presekt occasion. . He did not know Messrs. Chubb and Son. He knew the pri soner Brooks—he lodged•at his house about two years ago. His proper &anus was Keeling. It was from the circumstance of his having lodged at his residence that he became acquainted with the fact that he (witnes.) knew Mr. Wetherell. He did not know the prisoner Hardy. Mr. Barton, residing at No. 2, Upper Wellington street, Strand, said he was an advertising agent. The handwriting of both the note and cheque was Brooks's. Brooks bad been a clerk in his einp.oy. Mr John Bridgewater, cashier at the Strand Branch of the London and Westminster Bank—Messrs. Cbubb and Son have no account there. The cheque presented had been torn from the book then is his hand. He gave the cheque-book to a person who presented a card, but he coul i not say that Hardy was that person. Mr. Henry—Does the London and .Westminster Bank intend to prosecute in this case I Witness said he believed not. He had heard of no intention of the kind. The bank had been robbed of nothing but the cheque-book. Mr. Henry said he thought the bank ought to prose cute. The book bad been obtained by a forged order. If a cheque-book had been obtained from the Bank of England by a false order, he had no doubt the directors would prosecute. Police-constable F 72, said, from information he received he went to the Victoria Theatre, a few nights ago, and saw the prisoner Hardy in the pit. He took bim into custody for passing forged cheques. He said he had only passed one, and that he knew was a forgery. He said he passed it at a public-house in Macclesfield street, Soho. He also said, last Wednesday fortnight Brooks came to him at his residence, and said he had heard he was out of work, and he then asked him he if would mind earning a shilling or two, as he wanted somebody to go into the city for some wine ; but a horse and cart would have to be obtained. After hiring a horse and cart they drove to near Temple bar, and Brooks gave him a letter to take into the bank, and be received the cheque book. They afterwards pro ceeded to the London Wine Company, and Brooks gave him a letter t.) take into the office. He soon afterwards came to me and said, " Come away, I have given you the wrong letter ; you'll get transported." He said he had been living with Brooks ever since. A police co astable proved that Brooks and Hardy' had been living together. On 'searthing Brooks at the etation-house he found a cheque in his possession. The prisoners, in answer to the charge, each ;nada a somewhat rambling ,statement. The effect_of, which was that Brooks said Hardy was the prisoner - Who first suggested the getting the cheque-book. This case having finished, The prisoners were fully committed for trial on this THE BANK CHANTER ACT. "`!'hat the Bank Charter Act of 1844 makes money dear iS not a fallacy but a reality, is not a fancy but a fact", , - TO THE EDITOR OF THE ECONOMIST. Sir,—Begarding you as one of the highest autho rities on the subject of the currency, and the first in point of influence, from your political and offi eial position, arid you being a member of the com mittee appointed by the House of Commons to in quire into the operation of the Act of 1844, I was somewhat dismayed on reading the article in the Economist of the 16th May (which being on the Continent on account of health, I have only just had the opportunity of doing), to find that you ab solve that Act from being in any degree instrumen tal in making money dearer. Such an opinion would be " a heavy blow and great discourage ment" to those who consider that Act to be a curse to the country, were it as sound as your published views on the currency usually are—so clear that those who run may read—hut, with all deference, I would submit that on this point you are mis taken, and trust you wilt allow me to state a few reasons for differing from you—explained more at length in a pamphlet I sent you, entitled "The Bane and Antidote of our Monetary System." Is it correct to attribute, as you do, the rate of discount entirely to the supply of floating capital ? If Bank of England notes, constituting the bulk of our legal tender money, and the supply of which in proportion to the demand determines the rate of discount, were issued solely against gold, truly representing capital, then such an asser tion would be correct. But if we examine into the charactet - of Bank of England notes, we shall find that when the circulation is twenty millions, about fourteen millions are issued against Government securities and six millions against bul lion, i.e., fourteen millions representing the credit of the nation, the capital having been borrowed and spent long ago by the Government, and six millions representing capital (bullion). The basis then of our monetary system, our legal tender money, is not capital alone, but capital and credit. Now, ae. the Act of 1844 not only restricts but actually curtails the quantity of notes issued against credit, and prevents any addition to those issued against bullion, inasmuch as the Bank of England gains nothing by such issues—is it not evident that, as the expansion of trade requires more bank-notes, the rates for their use must advance and money become dearer? You infer that be cause the notes in circulation in June and Octo ber, 1855, were nearly the same in amount, whilst the bullion had diminished some seven millions, and the rate of discount had advanced from 3i to 7 'per cent. ; that the' withdrawal of bullion was the cause of the advance in the rate—true enough, because the legal tender notes issued against bul lion were diminished to that extent, but the effect on the rate of discount would have been just the same had no decrease of gold taken place, if the same amount of notes issued against securities had been cancelled by some arbitrary law, like that of 1844; the supply of legal tender money would have been equally diminished either way, and on the demand and supply of legal tender money, and net on that of capital alone, I submit, depends the rate of discount. With countries having a different monetary basis no just comparison can be made ; take Hamburg for example, to which state you refer. The mone tary basis there, upon which their rate of discount depen is, is silver alone ; this is deposited in .the vaults of the Bank by parties opening accounts, and discount transactions are effected by written transfers from one to another without touching the silver. Should, however, the silver, from any ex traordinary rise in price, be abstracted from the vaults, the fund for discount is diminished, and the rate rises. The same with Holland, whose mone tary basis is also silver, whilst ours is a legal tender money based on credit tenfold. In France the notes of the Bank of France are not a legal tender, but being convertible into gold or silver on demand; the public receive them voluntarily in discharge of debt. The monetary basis, there fore varies in different countries, and experienc e I think will show that the broader and sounder the basis in proportion to the transactions, the steadier and lower will be the rate of discount. In support of these arguments, to show that the rate of discount does not depend solely on the de mand and supply of floating capital, I would ad duce the fact that for 140 years previous to the Act of 1844, the Bank of England, notwithstanding the great vicissitudes in the supply and demand of capital which must have occurred during that period never raised their rate above 5 per cent., and, again, that when the Government letter in the panic of 1847, authorised an additional issue of notes against securities, the rate of discount fell without any increase whatever of floating capital in the country. Let me add to these arguments and facts the opinion of Mr. Tooke, than whom no hier authorit on prices exists, who say s in his "History of Prices," vol. 5, page 573. "Indeed, looking at the circumstances of the whole period from January 1848, to the autumn of 1855, I am. strongly of opinion that the uniform rate of 4 per cent. might have been preserved greatly to the convenience not only of . the mercantile and banking community, but of the _public generally." I cannot conclude without expressing my grati fication at the protest in the money article of your journal of the 23d May, against the needless pro- , tection to currency, and having myself for years tried in vain to rouse the attention of the mercan tile community to the advantages of the trade in a sound currency, adopting as a maxim, "Take care of the quality, insuring the convertibility of the note into gold, but leaving the quantity to take care of itself," I shall with pleasure anticipate greater success from your powerful advocacy of that principle. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, HAMER STAN SFELD.

Favoured with splendid Neither, it attracted, as indeed reviews always do in Paris, a multitude of spectators; but, contrary to custom, these spectatfra consisted almost exclusively of the higher and middle classes, blouses being very rare indeed. The ground, which, as is known, is of immense extent, was entirely lined with pelestrians, whilst behind them was a huge assemblage of vehicles of all kinds, from the dashing equipage of the noble, down to the humble hack c of the citizen, all fully oc cupied, chiefly by ladies in some parts of the ground, aad for a considerable extent, too, the vehicles were in lines, three or four deep. Amongst the'spectatot s was an extraordinarily large number of English.. The cavalry consisted of two regiments of carabiuiers, two of curassiers, two of hussars — also cf the dragoons of the Ethpress, the lancers of the guard, and six batteries of 'horse artillery. These regiments were in two divisions, under the command of Generals d'Allonville and Morris, and Marshal Magnan commanded the whole. Just bafore five o'clock the cavalry was drawn up in two lines, extending the whole length of the ground, from the top, near the cascade, down to the sunken wall, near the vdlage of B cologne. At five the Em peror and the King of Bavaria arrived on the ground from St. Cloud ; their Majesties were preceded by a picket of the Cent Gardes ; after them came a brilliant staff, consisting of Marshal PeliSSieT and several Fre noh generals and other officers, and some Bavarian, English, and Pru-sian officers ; the cor t-ge was closed by a squadron of the Cent. Gardes. The EmperOr wore the uniform of a French gene ral; with the Grand Cordon of the Legion .of Honour ;..the .King of Bavaria, who rode -at his Majesty's right hand, was in a light blue uniform, with a cocked hat surmounte I by a large plume of white feathers ; the King also wore a red cordon. Both. their ,Majesties were mounted on beautiful horses. The Empress followed the Imperial cortege an open Carriage drawn by four horses ;' she was accompanied by the Grand DuellessStephanie I3a den, andescerted by a detachment of dragoons, And followed by two carriages containing her suite. The Emperor And . the King, the latter occupying the place of honour, proceeded, immediately on their arrival, ta'dtvcend the first hue of the Cent Ga,rdes escorting them ' • the Empress and her escort followed ; the illustrious party then ascended 'the second line.' The appearance of the troops presented was magnificent in the extreme ; and as their Majesties swept along their front they presented arms, and shouted with enthusiasm " Vivo l'Empereur !" whilst their bands played national airs. • The King of Bavaria saluted the flag of every regiment. The Emperor, the King, and the Empress,' having concluded their inspection, took up a station near the cemetery ; the cavalry then • fell back, and the . artillery proceeded to execute sundry manoeuvres. Thin done, the first line of cavalry made a charge, and the second one afterwards did the same. The regiments of lancers also charged separately. Then the troops were massed according to their different arms, and all en masse came tearing along the plain, stopping only a few yards from the King and the Emperor, who had removed for convenience to the centre of the ground. When the troops stopped they raised a shout of " Viva l'Empereur l" The precision with which these various movements were executed was truly admirable, and the King of Bavaria, if we may judge from his gestures, was boih astonished and delighted with them. To the civilian spectator the sight was full of emotion, whilst the varied uniforms, the many coloured plume., and the gleaming of sword and cuirass, and helmet, en chanted the eye, the assemblage of such a multitude of men and horses filled the mind with a sort of terror at the tremendous force they represented ; the ex- traordinary ease and exactitude with which such masses were moved—like men on a chess-board— was too a subject of profound astonishment. The movements having concluded, the Emperor, the -Empres9, the King, and their staff, placed them ,selves near the stands of the racecourse, and the whole body of cavalry filed off before them in the usual way, repeating enthusiastically, as they did so, the cry of " Vive l'Empereur 1" On the ter mination of the filing off, their Majesties returned to St. Cloud in the order in which they arrived, and the troops left for their respective quarters. It was seven - o'clock when the review concluded. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.)

A work from the pen of M, Granier de Cassag nac, eetitled " Histoire de la ,Chute du Roi Louis Philippe, de la Republique de 1848, et du Reetab-• Fssement de PEmpire," is about to appear in Paris. 'lt gives some details of interest concerning the cir cumstances which preceded the memorable coup d'etat. The work giver; an account of different pro jects which had been proposed to the President of the Republic but were rejected, as the prince would not listen to any coup d'etat that should not be followed by an immediate appeal to-the peo pie. Many of the details are of course more or less known, but the following seem new :—" The cora mander-in-chief of the army of Paris received regu larly every Thursday, at his office at the Tuil leries, the gener d officers of his army and of his division. He was of opinion that a de cisive measure was necessary. Without being aware of the exact day, he know that it must be soon, and he was resolutely devoted to its ac complishment. On Thursday, the 26th November, neral Magnan had all the generals at his house ; there were 21, including himself. Full of his idea, and secure of the character of his companions in arms, he decided on himself a very serious resolu tion—that of entrusting to them a secret, which nevertheless was not entirely his own. This confi dence, which was essentially delicate, would have been dangerous, if it had not been placed in the brea-ts of officers guided.by feelings of duty and of honour. The general-in-chief rapidly sketched out to his comrades the situation of France, dwelt on the , imperions necessity which, existed of saving society, threatened by the demagogical party; the intention which the elect of the people had of making a fresh appeal to the nationalsovereignty; and the confidence which he placed in the army to protect the liberty of voting against the attacks of factions. He made known to them his firm resolution to engage his full and entire responsibility in an enterprise emi nently national; and he expressed a hope of being imitated by the generals of the army of Paris ; but be added that if there was any amongst them who thought his conscience engaged him not to enter on the plan, he left him absolute liberty to say. so, relying on the delicacy and probity of all present as to the overture which he hail just made to them in his own name. In reply to this frank appeal, General Reibell advanced and spoke in the name of his comrades. Re thanked the com mander-in-chief for having, thought that the , twenty generals of the army -of Paris would, not separate their cause—the cause of discipline and military honour—from that of Prince : Louis Napoleon, which was the same as that of the people and of civilisation. He declared that in' expressing himself in that manner, he was the faithful interpreter of the feelings of all the other generals, and that at whatever time the , prince and the general-in-chief should make an ap peal to their devotedness, there was not one who would not consider himself bound in honour to re spond to it. The remarks of General Reibell were received with warm acclamations ; all present shook hands with him, and all the generals emlqraced each other, and from that moment it might be- said' with certainty that France was extricated from an abyss. When the emotion caused by this scene had subsided, and silence was restored, Gen. Magnan spoke as follows : Let us all swear that not one of us will mention to any person whatever what has just taken place here.' All the twenty-one generals present —Magnan, Cornemuse, Hubert, Sallenave, Carrelet, Renault, Levasseur, De Cotte, De Bourgon, Canrobert, Dulac, Saboul, Forcy,, Rippert, Herbillon, Marulaz, De Courtigis, Korte, Tartas,D'Allonville, andßeibell---took the oath, and. it has been so well kept that we are the first, after more than five years, to make known the fact, and the results of this memorable meeting."—The fol lowing passages, though not altogether new in their general tenour, will still be read with interest The most absolute silence was necessary, not for the success of an appeal to the people, which would have been carried out under all circumstances with the certain support of public opinion and of the army, but for the prompt, calm, and regular trans formation of the political system. The considerations due to public and private affairs rendered it a duty to anticipate partial resistance, and to shorten any struggle dictated by self-interest. Those devoted per sons who, in the assembly, in the press, in the army, and even in the household of the prince, bad contri buted by different means to the common cause, were aware of the aim and the means, but only those whose personal co-operation was indispensable were acquainted with the day and hour. On the evening of Monday, the Ist December, took place the, usual reception at the Elysee, and the number of visitors was considerable. The open and ardent struggle excited by the old parties rendered a crisis more probable than ever, and public opinion was aware of its near approach. It was spoken of aloud on that evening at the President's palace as an immi nent necessity, and it was spoken of in a pleasant manner, as of an event of whose necessity all minds I were made up. A southern deputy, known for bis lively disposition, M. Denjoy, inquired of a jour nalist, his fellow-townsman, When are you going to show us the door 1' Upon which the other replied, ' Before long, I hope.' The prince ap peared to his guests with his unvarying calm of mind and his usual amenity of manners. The most attentive eye could not have detect, :d a cloud on his features, or a preoccupation in his lan guage. At balf-past ten the drawing-room of the Elyge began to thin, and at eleven the doors were c'osed. It was then that four person', the actors in the drama of the morrow, met in the ca. binet of the prince, namely, General St. Arnaud, Minister of War ; Count de Morny, who undertook the Ministry of the Interior ; M. de Maupas, Pre fect of Police ; and Colonel de Beville of the staff, and one of the &des-de-camp of the President. The parts to be played by these four persons were distinct and precise. Count de Morny, after hay- I ing countersigned the decree for the dissolution of the Assembly, was to take the initiative and re sponsibility of all measures of security at Paris and in the provinces. General de St. Arnaud was to combine and direct the action of the troops, in order to prevent resistance from being made, or to put a stop to it if attempted. M. de Maupas, re cently appointed to the Prefecture of Police, had to perform a difficult task, which required as much discernment as resolution—that of effecting rapidly the arrests considered necessary, and of providing general measures for the preservation of public order; whilst to Colonel de Beville was confided the mission of conveying to the national printing office, and of having printed under his own eye, in concert with M. de St. Georges, director of the es tablishment, the official documents constituting the ensemble of the great measure of the •2d December —the decree of dissolution, the proclamation to the army, and the appeal to the people. When printed, Colonel de Beville and M. de St. George's were to carry the documents themselves to the Prefecture of Police and place them in the hands of M. de Maupas. Such were, with M. Mocquard, the prince's secretary, the persons who received the la,st instruc tions of the President of the Republic. At the same hour Parisian society, dispersed in theatres. was carelessly awaiting its salvation from time and chance. It was only at three o'clock in the morn ing that General Magnan, co mmander-in-chief of the army of Paris, was summoned to the Cabinet of the Minister of War, and ,had the plans and orders of the great event of the day communicated to him. Convinced of the necessity of the measure, and ready to accept the responsibility of its execu tion, General Magnan - had expressly requested not to be apprised of the time until the moment when it would be necessary to take the ;proper measures and to mount on horseback. As an old soldier of the Empire, and an officer of experience and autho rity, the firmness and devotedness .of the comman ° - f dant of the army of Paris were ,a sure reledg)th success. When, therefor e, he was informe t e hour bad come, he was alread y fully prepa MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.) CORN EXCHANGE.
