C ould the Veil, whi c h coven the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true sour ce i n ever y instance disclosed, in how many cou ld t be traced t e physical disqualifications and their attendant disap- Pointments. Excesses are always injurious; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the prolific source of mischief, and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other te which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of mere importance than the preservation of the health, and of the physical capabilities of which every man should ba possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired In early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering torn their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap _l2l3llg te a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so Ireqliently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it tan be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional per sal% the utmost confidence should b e ex t en d e d.

In this work, to which the Author has devoted the labour of several years, an attempt has been made to compile a School Dic tionary adapted to the present state of the English language and to the improved methods of teaching. It contains every word which has been sanctioned by the use of eminent authors, except such as have become obsolete, or are merely technical. While the usual alphabetical arrangement is preserved, the words are at the same time oud in such a manner as to show their etymological affi- nity and after the first word of each g roup is given the root from which they are derived. These roots arc afterw a e ither for reference arranged intoa voca bulary ; so that the Dic tionary may be used or f o r teaching derivation.

The vital p derived rinciple s from e tained in the blood. 2. Everything in the body is blood.constitutions are radically the same. 4. All diseases arise from the impurity of the blood, or, in other words, from acri monious humours lodged in the body. 5. This humour, which de generates the blood, has three sources —the maternine, the conta gious, and the personal. 6. Disease and pain have the same origin, and may therefore be considered syndnymous terms. 7. Purgation by proper vegetable purgatives is the only effectuual mode of eradi cating disease. 8. Experience of upwards of twenty years has amply proved MORISON'S VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL MEDICINE to be such proper vegetable purgative. 9. Prom the intimate connexion subsisting between the mind and the body, the h e alth of the one must conduce to the serenity of the other. Hygeism—The science of health. Ilygeist —A promoter of health. Hygeian—Pertaining to the science of health. These terms have not been adopted through an affecta tion of singularity, but merely for the sake of drawing a sufficiently broad line of demarcation between the old and new schools.

' - SERIOUS ACClDENT.—Yesterday forenoon a serious accident occurred at Cambuslang, on the works of the Clydesdale Junction Railway. It appears that the miners were engaged in blasting some hard rock in an open cut, and, for this purpose, bad beside them a barrel of gunpowder, which was at the time almost full. With most reckless indifference as to consequences, as the event showed, the loose gunpowder was left uncovered during the operations of the workmen ; and it is conjectured that a spark, struck from the rock by a pick-axe, had fallen into the barrel, for the con tents suddenly exploded, with tremendous violence, among the labourers, of whom about fifty were em ployed near the spot. Four of the men were injured, two of them very severely, who had to be conveyed to the Royal Infirmary in the course of the day. One of the two, an Englishman, named William Gormley, was blown, by the violence of the explosion, against some large stones, and has thus, in addition to his body being dreadfully scorched, received severe injuries about the head. The unfortunate men lie in a very precarious condition. We understand that the miners have been repeatedly warned of the danger to which they exposed themselves by leaving their gunpowder uncovered. — North Mitish Mail of Tuesday. THE BUTCHERS' CHARITADE INSTITUTION.—The nineteenth anniversary of this charity was held yester day, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. Mr. D. Salomans presided, and among the company were Mr. Alderman Challis, Mr. J. Sharp, President of the Insti tution, Mr. F. Ely, Treasurer, Mr. Hall, Mr. J. Knight, and other friends of the charity. About 150 of the leading members of the trade sat down to an excellent dinner, after which the gratifying announcement was made that, notwithstanding the recent depressed state of the trade, the funds of the institution had never been in a more satisfactory condition. It was stated that the Building Fund Committee bad purchased three acres and a half of freehold land, at Walham-green, Fulham, whereon they had erected fourteen almshouses, to be occupied by aged members of the trade who had known better days. The amount thus expended was 4,000/., of which the ladies, by their contributions, had raised 1,0001. The total sum invested in the Three per Cents. is 10,4381., and the number of pensioners now on the funds of the institution is forty-six. The society gives pensions of twenty guineas to the men and fifteen guineas to the female recipients of the charity, besides a fret , residence in the almshouses, which are exceedingly corn . fortable. The payments to pensioners during the pre sent year will exceed 950/., and a further election of five men and three women to the benefits of the charity will take place this day ( rhursday). It appears that every master-butcher may be elected a pensioner, although he may not have been a member of the society. The donations and subscriptions of the evening amounted to about 2501., among which were the Chairman, 101. 10s. ; Mr. Byng, 101. 10s. (annual) ; Mr. T. I). Sharp, 101. 10s. ; Mr. John Collins, 10/. 10s. ; Messrs. H. and R. Arnold, each lot. 10s. ; Mr. P. Emans, 10/. 103 ; Mr. Alderman Challis, 51.55., &c. FATAL FIGHT.--.Yesterday Mr. Wakley, M.P., held a very lengthened inquiry at the Pitt's Head, Henry-street, Portland-town, concerning the death of Thomas Henry Birmingham, aged 26, a greengrocer's servant. On Sunday evening last, deceased and a man named Good, also a greengrocer, began to dispute and quarrel about the amount of business done at their re spective shops. The result was a reciprocal challenge to fight. The parties, accompanied by four others, pro ceeded to settle their difference in a field near Primrose hill, it being then eleven o'clock at night. They fought one scrambling round, at the end of which both were down. Good rose immediately, but while deceased was striving to do so he fell again, as it was supposed, from a blow struck by Good. None of the witnesses, how ever, actually saw the blow take effect, but Good acknowledged that he had knocked deceased down with his left hand. Deceased was picked up in an insensible state, and conveyed to his residence by his two friends who had accompanied him, Good and his friends declin ing to assist in so doing. Mr. Britton, surgeon, called in by the police, found deceased quite dead, and having subsequently made a post mortal' examination, by order of the coroner, stated yesterday that the right lateral sinus of the brain was ruptured, causing extensive effu sion of blood in the brain. There was no corresponding external injury. The rupture of the sinus was the cause of death, but he would not swear positively that it had been caused by a blow, though it was his impres sion such was the case. After a long discussion, twelve out of fourteen jurymen returned a verdict of " Manslaughter" against Good. THE PENINSULAR MAIL.—The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Iberia, which arrived at Southampton yesterday, at two p.m., brings advises to the following dates :—Gibraltar 19th October, Cadiz 20th, Lisbon 22d, Vigo 24th.

ST. PANCRAS VESTRY MEETING. —Yesterday, pur suant to special notice, a very numerous meeting of the vestry of. St. Pancras took place in the new vestry-rooms, King's-road, Camden-town, for the purpose of con firming the minutes of the previous meeting rejecting the proposition to enlarge the workhouse at a cost of 10,000/., and to consider other important matters con nected with the parish. Mr. B. J. E. Wright was at two o'clock called to the chair, and the minutes of the pre vious vestry were confirmed. -- SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. - _ FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CHRONICLE.—The momentous' step taken by the Government on Monday last will obviously have one very important incidental consequence, which has, no doubt, already begun to occupy the attention of Ministers. An immediate meeting of Parliament is, we take for granted, regarded as a necessary cos rollary to the result of the recent Ministerial delibe rations. Lord John Russell's known disinclination, on constitutional grounds, to anticipate the presumed judgment of the Legislature on such a matter as the suspension of an Act of Parliament, will naturally render him solicitous to obtain immediate legislative sanction for a proceeding that in tbe.meanwhile rests only on public opinion, and the necessity of the case. The circumstance that this most i m portant step has been taken shortly after a general election, and while Ministers are (officially) unacquainted with the temper and opinions of the House of Commons on any subject whatever, is evidently a' strong additional reason for losing no time in submitting the whole matter to Parliamentary approval. We sup pose, therefore, that we cannot be mistaken in inferring that the Legislature -will meet on an early day in November, for dispatch of business. We count this a vety.fortunate neces sity. On every ground it appears to us essential that the legislative year should commence forthwith. It is not possible to exaggerate the practical import ance, to the commercial and trading community, of immediately learning the precise views of our leading public men on those vitally Interesting questions which at present agitate it. We shall all see our way the clearer for knowing at once with the dist inctness and publicity which only Parli amen tary debate can afford, what Ministers think, and what Sir Robert Peel and his late colleagues think, of the causes, proximate or remote, that have produced the crisis, and of the extent to which these, or any of them, are to be regarded as within the range of legislative action. There never was a time when the British public needed more than now the guiding and re-as suring influence of that frank announcement of Ministerial and ex-Ministerial thought and pur pose which is only to be had through the me dium of Parliamentary discussion. At this mo ment the whole order of things, in the commercial and monetary world, is provisional. We must wait till Parliament meets, to learn how far we are to consider the first and chief of our commercial and monetary institutions as in a state of revolution. Even apart from the immediate necessities of the present commercial juncture, it is in the highest degree desirable that the first session of the new Par liament should at once begin. There is a vast quantity of work to be done, which would infallibly be slurred or neglected if the opening of the legis lative year were deferred to the usual period. Par liament and Ministers have an extraordinary amount of heavy business before them, of the utmost urgency and moment ; and it is but too easy to see that if we waited till after Christmas the next session would present a more lamentable record of lapsed measures and lost opportunities than its predecessor. Much time will necessarily be occupied in discussing, not merely the present commercial emergency and the pro tempore expedient which it has dictated, but the general principles and policy of that once admired legislative Act which has received so severe a blow. Considering to how large an extent the new House of Commons is composed of new men— one may almost say of new parties—who will pay but little respect to the traditions of 1844, and will require to come to a clear understanding of the case on its actual merits ; and considering, too, that events must have more or less modified the opinions of our oldest and most experienced statesmen--it is plain that the crisis and the " currency theory " will make very serious inroads on the available time of Parlia ment. We cannot begin too soon economizing a commodity which is at least as scarce, in relation to the demands certain to be made on it, as our national capital itself. 'We welcome this necessity of an immediate session as a saving of much precious time, and a guarantee for the early passing of many useful and indispensable legislative mea sures. Why, the Irish question is enough of itself to demand and reward the labours of a November session. We hope we are correct in presuming that Ministers will avail themselves of this opportunity, by passing through Parliament, without the smallest avoidable delay, one or two of those measures which the state of Ireland most imperiously requires—which rank, in fact, in the same order of instant necessity with the Executive act of Monday. Most reluctantly would we contemplate the possibility of Ministers consenting to let the wants and woes of Ireland stand over for three months without attempting any legis. lative solution of that most tremendous of difficulties. From the dismal materiala which daily crowd our columns, one can imagine the frightful problem which Ireland would present to statesmanship and legisla tion in the month of February next, if absolutely nothing were done in the interval to arrest the pro gress of social disorganization. With the law of landlord and tenant what it is, and the poor-law what it is, and the utter hopeless misery of the people what it is—with the whole collective relations of Irish poverty to Irish property still unaltered —without a thing done, or attempted or begun to be done of restorative efficacy or promise— the Ireland of February, 1848, would be a legislative perplexity, and an imperial peril, of per fectly appalling magnitude. As Ministers were ready at an early period of last session with measures on the most important of the great Irish questions, and all the mere preliminaries to legislation have b ee n long ago adjusted, there seems no real reason why some of the chief difficulties of Ireland should not be disposed of between now and Christmas. Con sidering the variety and magnitude of the questions which must occupy the attention of the new Parlia ment during its first session, we do rejoice that events have in a manner decided that there shall be no avoidable loss of time. We trust that Ministers will not be wanting in that methodical industry and vigo rous management which are just now among the most indispensable qualities of British statesmanship. The prospect would be really alarming, if one did not know what can be accomplished by re solute diligence and an energetic love of order. With the whole question of taxation and finance thrown open by the expiration of the income-tax ; with the rumoured approach of the dreadful visitor of 1832, warning us to hasten and complete, at this particular time, those sanitary precautions which are right and necessary at all times, and to finish at a blow the legislative " war against filth, fever, stench, and death -dealing pesti• lence ;" with the remnants of old commercial restric tions, and older theological intolerance, waiting for the final extinction of their miserable existence ; and with European politics in a state of agitation and unse ttlement which may impose we kn ow not what demands on the time and thoughts of a British Par liament ;--with all these inexorable claimants on their attention over and above the " crisis" and Ireland, Ministers are prepared, we hope, for a most deter mined exertion of all the cardinal fficial virtues. We cannot but think that it must be a source of satis faction to a Premier thus beset with hard work and weighty responsibility, that events have done their part towards accelerating the fulfilment of his multi farious obligations. The necessity of a November session may have its inconveniences ; and we should hope that Lord John Russell regards it as, on the whole, a fine opportunity, worthy of being vigorously improved. POST. —Although tradesmen, merchants, and men of business in all departments of commerce, demanded the adoption of some temporary measure for the alle viation of the particular exigencies of the moment, it is important to remember that the great spring of the evil is a permanent one, and can 'only be got rid of by a thorough alteration of the system, which a trial of twenty-eight yea rs has proved a failure. We are anxious to impress m en with the necessit y of protest by which it is i be near the period n n g a against thel mischief m continuancesy, originates, may of the no system itself, in whicht and, of reaction from the present gloom. Property may be near a partial recovery from the extraordinary depres sion of the late season. But, while the evil itself lasts, every such revival can be but precarious. If Consols were now selling at par—if share property were fetch ing prices proportioned to its absolute value—we should not feel justified in advising men to put confi dence in the permanence of the improvement. There is no depending on the workings of a currency system which, at the moment when its action should be most free and elastic, shu ts up, paralyses, and renders use less for the time the vast amounts of paper (or credit) representatives of value by whose f the exchange and current acceptance the bulk o nation's business is transacted. Within the last fortnight we cou rt of law refuse to make have seen the judges i n a an order for the sale of an e state, on the score that, " in the present state of the nioney market," not half the actual value could be r ealised i h n cash. We have not only seen houses ruined, hestw ic , six months ago, were in possession of the higcharacter and great substantial wealth, but cases have occurred wherein nded payment rather than merchants voluntarily susp e submit to the excessive rates of interest at which alone money can be raised. Such facts indicate a rottenness at the very core of the system which pro duces the anomaly, and this rottenness can only be cured by extirpation. Here are thousands of S N 9 OCTOBER ,28, 1847. th operative classes thrown out of emplo,Y-' ment by the stoppage of factories, the sit'4-I pension of railway works, and similar hindraneeq of the ordinary course of :business. We are at the beginning of the cold wintry months, and the pres pects of the poor are deteriorating. Employme4,ls, their great want, and there are public improvements and great national works projected on which their labour might be most usefully 'engaged. All might go on well, but that the money—the mere counter of value—is short. A huge reality is set on oneside by a paltry fiction For gold, in its character of the money of a country like England, can never, be anything I,ut a fiction—all the gold in Europe not equalling the amount of money our trading opera' dons require, and which is continually floating about in the shape of bills of exchange, acceptances, &e., while business and credit are •in what are called,,a healthy condition. The credit is now locked up ; because the law assumes the existence of a particular material in quantities which were never khoWn the world, and legislation is based on the false 'as sumption. A species of money which, Arom its ria , ture, con never be but expensive, is made to govern, or rather to thwart, the course of transactions reac,h ing to a hundred times the amount of its intrinsic value. This pressure is not over. ,Experienced" observeis of currency matters think that what ha's already taken place is as nothing to what ie Coining ; and that' litlt.7 withstanding any temporary pcistponement of the difficulties they will still survive in the fulness of their pernicious vigour. Mr.Muntz emphatically, declares himself of this opinion ; Messrs. Spooner, Taylor, and numbers of men whose opinions are very various" on Ordinary political subjects, are unanimous in attri buting the great pressure on all kinds of industry;:to the 6ystem which the late Sir Robert Peel prophesied would double his son's fortune, but ruin England. Still Sir Charles Wood talks of " the worst" having gone by, arid the Times rages against railways;.be ' cause they furnish large masses of the people with a species of employment that enables them to purchase and pay for substantial food. It is, no doubt, perfectly true that the progress and extent, of railway works have stimulated the consurapaan of food. It is exceedingly probable that the drain upon gold was thus aggravated. But What could be more insane, at a season when the manu facturing districts present the universal spectacle of mills closed or closing, and when industry is = lan guishing for a field on which to exercise itself,than to avert the progress of almost the only description of. out-door work by which the comparatively unskilled labourer earns a comfortable livelihood. We have not hesitated to do justice to the prudence and good 'in tentions of railway directions in determining on'aome extensive postponements of their " calls" and pro ceedings ; but we confess it is not without despon dency we hear of crowds of workmen being ,dis missed at a period when it is impossible that they can find occupation in any other way. Manufactures cannot absorb them, and we are already pained at newed and increasing complaints about the burden 'of poor-rates in districts which were prosperoni and flourishing a year ago. It is no wonder that Minis ters should have thought such frequent Cabinetmeet ings necessary of late. Fearful is the responsibility which these gentlemen have to divide between them.. HER ALD.—No one can deny, that it is a morti fying position for a journal, which has been accus tomed for 20 years past to think and speak of itself as " leading" everybody .and everything, to find itself suddenly left aground, alike by the Government, the public, and.the, press. Yet how could this be helped ? It may be very well to praise " Cocker ;" but in truth it is solely to Cocker that we owe the late death wound given to the Peel currency of 1844. No one can doubt that the London bankers, in their late con fabulations with Sir Charles Wood, appealed„ at every step, to " addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division." The " sum" presented to the Chan cellor to be worked out Was doubtless of this kind : " The reserve or notes in the banking department are now reduced to 2,630,1151. But this is less than the Bank itself requires for its own business and the business of its branches. 4,000,000/., it has been often stated, is the requisite stock of paper which the Bank requires for its own use. Hence, when Messrs. Roths childs, or Smiths, or Glyns, come to the Bank, and want 200,000/. or 300,0001. on a deposit of stock or Ex chequer-bills, the Bank is compelled to answer, 'We have no money to spare.' Then these houses return home, and tell their customers, in their turn, 'We have no money to spare.' And thus the word is given, throughout the commercial world, No money ! No money !"The inevitable results must be these : mer chants and bankers, possessing 30s. or 40s. for every pound they owe, in goods or bills, must stop payment, because they can get no money ! Each successive crash increases the alarm,—the stoppage of one bank causes a run upon five others,--the panic hourly spreads,—and, should the determination of Govern ment be, that no relief can be given, there is the greatest probability of the rapid growth of the public alarm, and the fall of more local banks, until at last the people throw themselves simultaneously on the Bank of England, and in two days empty her coffers, and put an entire stop to the whole trade and com merce of England!" These, we repeat, were the eh ments of the arithmetical question presented to the Government by the bankers, on Saturday and Mon day last. The precise figures set down it is not for us to know, nor do they at all affect the general ques tion. We repeat the assertion, that the discussion of Monday, the reasoning employed, and the resolution finally adopted, were all strictly "according to Cocker." And had Ministers adopted any other resolution, they would inevitably have been arraigned in Parlia ment for not understanding the ordinary rules of arithmetic. The one malcontent journal, which ad mits that it is, " like a naughty boy, kept in and tasked, while a holiday is given to the rest,"—ana which bitterly resolves "to be malignant and pro phetic,"—ought to show, to save itself from the " de rision" of which it sadly speaks, a very clear and strong case. For, the unanimous consent of all the rest of the daily press is not one whit more evident, than the expression of the public mind, as audible in every place of commercial resort. Go upon the Ex change this afternoon, and ask, among the merchants of London, " Which of you agrees with the Times on this currency question ?" and the answer would be given. amid shouts of laughter, " Why, no one, assuredly !" Put the matter to the vote, among commercial men in the City, and Mr. Payne s chance against Lord John, on the hustings at Guildhall, would be seen to be brilliant indeed, compared with the poll in favour of the Times, opi nions. For, upon what is the advocate of Sir Robert Peel and Mr. Jones Loyd prepared to take his stand? Not upon the mere convertibility of the bank-note for that point was settled long before 1844. Not upon the capability of the Bank to pay every one of its notes in coin ; for that Capability never has ex isted, and certainly never will'exist. Where, then; lay the wondrous merits of the measure of 1844 over the destruction of which the Times now mourns; while all the rest of mankind exult ? What wer its peculiarities, and what were its effects ? It chief novelty consisted in the profound con trivance, that whenever, by a bad harvest, o other cause, the course of trade should carry 5,000,000/. or 10,000,000/. of our metallic currencl over to the Continent or to America, it should become the duty of the Bank to double the calamity, by immediately withdrawing a like amount of paper from circulation. This operation has been performed, and British commerce _h_a,s,;. nearly sunk under the suicidal experiment.

For the account .Consols began at 832, declined. to 823, and closed at 82i to 83. After regular hours some trans actions took place, and the price was about a quarter per cent. better. In the Stock Exchange money was easy this after noon for short loans, at 6 per cent. .The applications at the. Bank of England were not • numerous., The rate of discount out of doors for three months' paper is from 9 to 10 per cent. A further arrival of gold took place at the 'Bank 6-day, to the extent of upwards of 100,0001. : The chief proportion came from Russia. The . failure of Messrs. J. P. Howard .and Co., colonial brokers, was announced this,morning; The liabilities of the firm are stated at 75,0001., ofwhica 5,0001. is upon acceptances. It is said that the as- Sets consist chiefly of produce, and that - they amount 'fitlileait to 100,000/. Commitments' in connexion with Lyall, Brothers, and Co. are repreiented fo have been the: cause of the present suspension, an un covered balance being due from that Arm to Howard and Co. to the amount of 15,0001. or 20,0001. , • The Liverpool letters state the satisfaction experi enced at - the suspension of the Bank Charter Act, but there is already a cry for "more" in the way of relief, as the present rate of discount is very unpopu lar. That enough has been done already, however, to give confidence to holders of raw material and produce generally is quite perceptible. " After all," Says one writer, "what does an additional 1 per cent. or so for a few m(Nnths signify to those who want to escape the necessity of forced sales ? They will soon get more than that by the rise in their goods." At the same time, even some of those who rejoice at the immediate improvement in ',their position have dis agreeable misgivings regarding the future. "We expect things," it is said, "to go on improving now for a few weeks, at all events ; but we can hardly help questioning whether this relaxation will not Work more harm than good in the end." "If pro duce rises moderately," it is judiciously added, " we think prudent people will sell off." Several failures are announced from Leghorn and Genoa. At Leghorn four houses have stopped, the parties being Morpurgo and Tedeschi, J. L.Valentine, D. Guttiers Pegra, and L. Arbib and Co., the liabili ties of the two former being rather considerable. At Genoa, G. Calcagno, amoney-changer, is said to have absconded, and severa 1 parties are sufferers by him. The house of E. Alessio and Co., in the grain trade, has stopped. Its concerns are extensive, and a com position has been made of 35 per cent. Fratelli Barabino have resolved to wind up. At Trieste it is said some loss will be sustained by the failure of Ven tura of Venice, but that it will fall upon parties who are able to bear it. Ventura, it is believed, will pay in full, or very near it. The Bankers' Magazine furnishes the returns of Circulation of the Private and Joint-Stock Banks in England and Wales for the four weeks ending the 18th •and 25th of September and the 2d and 9th inst., and gives the following as the weekly average circulation of those banks during the past month, viz.:— Private banks ••• Joint-stock banks ... £4,341,530 3,107,294 Average weekly circulation £7,448,824 On a comparison of the above with the returns for the month ending the 11th of September, it shows : An increase in the notes of the pri vate banks of An increase in the notes of the joint stock-banks of 153,010 Total increase on the month £318,766 And as compared with the corresponding period of ast year, viz., the 10th of October, 1846, it shows A decrease in the notes of the pri vate banks of A decrease in the notes of the joint stock banks of 181,757 Total decrease on the year ... £507,092 The following appears to bete state of the circu ation with reference to the d issues : The private banks are btrlow their fixed issue The joint-stock banks are below their fixed issue . 310,983 Total under the fixed issue .. £968,897 The return of the Abingdon bank of Messrs. Knapp and Co. being omitted in the Gazette of the 19th inst., the return for the preceding week has been taken as the amount of their notes in circulation in making up the above summary. CHRONICLE.—The fluctuations which almost inevitably succeed a sudden advance in prices have not failed to be experienced on this occasion in the City. The rise in Consols, which was at one time nearly 5 per cent., offered a great temptation to ifibse whose principle is to make a small but certain profit in their speculations. The consequence has been a decline in the value of Public Securities, followed by a corre sponding depression in the rates of Railway Shares. But so far as these changes are concerned, they have little or no importance, compared with the effect which the wise and comprehensive measure of Lord John Russell has produced. It is all very well to talk of the country as an improvident gentleman., whose means have been pledged beyond the proper extent, and whose castles, dogs, and privy purse make de mands on him beyond his power of meeting. If at the bottom the estate be sound, and if at the moment of difficulty the want of confidence in his creditors be the great cause of embarrassment, surely the wise course would be to maintain the credit and prevent the worst consequences, which all would allow his folly had called down upon his head. The country, no doubt, has spent, and is spending, a vast deal too much money upon its railroads. But either by the loss of its own vital power, or by legis lative enactments anticipating that loss, this drain must subside. Already we see the amount of calls for the ensuing month reduced upwards of fifty per cent. upon those of the preceding account, and the partial abandonment of works, in all parts of the country, proves beyond a question that the evil will, to a certain extent, be cured by its own severity. Granting, however —as, indeed, is most true--that we have squandered a vast deal too much money on this one item of our disloursements, and add to cannot ewsseuere on conceive why on these accounts the pr . _ or on pi-movie, general trade should be agg ravated lvency gravely pro forced expenditure last spring for food, mercantile firms of undoubted so . n expiation of posed as a sacrifice to be offered. up t i a ken of the late our disasters or distress. The view commercial affairs by the Premier has position of he whole banking and mercan tilebeen appreciated by t community as both statesmanlike and sound. It professed no end to which the most ardent admirer of the late Bank Act could object. The doubts and fears of the monied interest had grown into a panic, and with the fear of the capitalist it is utterly vain to reason. Each small proprietor throughout the kingdom hugged his notes to his heart, and felt the safer in their possession. still Every man in trade drew in his resources, and forti fied his position to the best of his power ; all, both high and low, great and small, removing the notes from circulation, and thus creating the very cause of their distrust. The position of the Bank became serious—rumours of a decreasing reserve were whis pered about—the whole pressure of commercial wants was thrown upon it, and at last it was clear to the most steadfast of the Bank Act supporters, that no legislative measure can control the fears da people, and that the credit of the nation must be the means used for its assistance. The credit of the nation has been employed, and what is the result? That the ve effect acines to unlock Bank has been overpowered, by the demands 'Made upon it for accommodation. The Bank has been sub ject to no pressure, and the g eneral o p inion is that not one note will be require d from its coffers be y ond the amount authorised by the Act of S i r Robert Peel. nd iron safes, has been, a a a s s, a nd with yet, to remove the : u sitively, in ti n b e e t pressure of those fer advances, large v probability, a reduction, b e f ore many weeks are The boxes o in a ll l sums into the usual channels of trade will come, theof discounts, capital in other t rate of money. POST.—It appears that the present rate of interest for advances on stock, at the Bank of England, is 8 per cent. for a period of not less than fourteen days, and not exceedi ng s i x weeks. leading joint-stock establishments in the City allow ing as much as 7 per cent *on deposits, and requiring for the di scoun t of bills of exchange from 8 to 12 per cent. per annum. The st • ringency of the money market has, therefore, it will be perceive • d , not yet been greatly mitigated. In the Foreign Stock Market there was no improve ment as regards demand, and prices are by no means better, but rather the contrary. The competition which the Bank have entered into with the public for _ _ loam of Aey has greatl , sturbed the. better feel ing not: das having b apparent yesterday in the differegt markets. HEB.ALD.—The aspect of business in the City throughout the day has been very far from satisfac tory.- The very guarded - manner in which the directors of the Bank of*England'ilre proceeding very clearly shows that- the- rels:xation' of,, the Bank Charter .Act is in practice - MereVnenainat It has been now ascertained that the directors do' not 'con template' Making any advance;,, by ; way of lean "-or otherwise, to the commercial :- classes :on dock-war ranti,:bills of lading, 'or by an y, of the usual methods of hypothecating produce, whilst the rates of interest charged where discounts can be obtained upon.bilts of exchange are far beyond' the' rites of 'profit oft regular business, and are therefore only taken for despeiate emergencies: respect 'to the rate's charged for loans upon .Stock,- -Exchequer-bills, &c.; the directors do not appear to ,g.earern their conduct by any specific per centage, bud reserve, to themselves the power,of varying it: according, to circumstances, but in no case is it-cluttged , within 1- per cent. of the minimum. We mentioned_ aestfer l day _that a reP(irt had been circulated that as much as the rate of 12 Pei- cent. had been Chatted,' but we have not been able to find it stated on - - such authority as would -justify us in confirming:it. On farther in quiry to-day, however, wp • have 'leerned: on autho rity that cannot be ques ti on edrthat the - :rate - of- 12 Per. cent. had actuallyl - 411 paid YeAerdaY,'aildrot# readers consequently, be able--to form - their own opinion of: the x.etnal:.444i4icts. of affairs the City. Among the privatnbankers it daq be said there has been a little, and but a little relaxation, as respects the extent of their aceomnindaticils to-their enstiamers, and the rule followed is to charge the minitmun rate of the Bank of England forifirst-class paper. Here and there there may be a difference of . 1 per cent. below this rate in very particular cases, but there are a great many more where it runs 1 per cent. above it. Beyond the range of the customers of the private and joint-stock Iranktthere . has' been literally no diScount market in the metropolis for now nearly six weeke past, exceptdtbe by a lower grade of usurers, whose rate _of chafe we neither are nor wish to be ac quainted with. An .instance has come within our knowledge to-day which very forcibly illustrates the relaxed state of commercial morality, the Onuine offspring of the present pressure. A bill of exchange, drawn from India, and accepted by a mercantile house in the City, hitherto considered a respectable firm, which had been discounted some time ago by a respectable bill-broker, and rediscounted, with his endorsement, by the Bank of England, reached maturity to-day. On the bill being presented for payment the answer was, that the acceptor had not received a remittance from the drawer in India to meet it, and on his part it was coolly stated it was not intended to pay it, on that ground. On a remonstrance being made against this strange and cavalier mode of proceeding the re joinder was, "We have nothing more to say upon the subject, and if you are not satisfied, we beg leave to hand you the card of our solicitor." We have only to add, by way of finishing this portrait, that this house has no idea-that they should be considered as having stopped payment. A VERY STRANGE STORY. The Paris Presse publishes the two following state ments, which, it says, have been communicated to it by an officer of the navy, whose shots, we suspect, are only puffs for promotion : " On the night of the 20th of June last, an English brig fired, without any previous notice, two guns loaded with ball on the French brig the Abeille, one of the squadron of the western coast of Africa. The commandant of the Abeille, a M. Legras, immedi ately returned shot for shot. The English vessel was so astonished that it made signals to entreat that the fire should cease, whereupon the French brig ap proached it, and the commandant exacted from the English captain that he should instantly make an apology. The Englishman accordingly went on board the Abeille, and made an apology in presence of the officers and crew, and afterwards entered the cabin and repeated his excuses. Notwithstanding this adventure, the English and French on the Afri can station are the best friends in the world." The other story of the Presse is as follows : " The Abeille was anchored off Quits, a Danish pos session in the Gulf of Benin, on the western coast o Africa, when the Danish Governor demanded assist.: ance, he being besieged in his fort by 6,000 blacks, and having only a stock of two days' provisions. The Abeille immediately sent out its men, who, by firing grape shot and musketry, succeeded in conveying pro vision to the besieged; and this so frightened the blacks that within 48 hours after they had all de camped. The Governor of the Danish possessions then went on board the Abeille, and thanked the commandant. He next requested that he might be ' conveyed to Affrie, another Danish possession, and his customary place of residence; and with this re quest the commandant of the Abeille immediately complied." IMPORTANT POST-OFFICE NOTICE. Tha following notice was issued yesterday from the General Post-office : " General Post-office, October, 1847. " The P o stmaster-General of the United States having given a notice for determining the agreement under which the correspondence between Great Britain and Canada has been conveyed, in closed mails, through the territories of the United States, as well as all other agreements subsisting between the Post-offices of the two countries, the mails to and from Canada will henceforth be landed and em barked at Halifax, Nova Scotia, instead of Boston, as heretofore. " All letters and newspapers, therefore, addressed to Canada, will in future be forwarded by the way of Halifax, Nova Scotia, unless specially directed to be sent by some other route ; and as the arrangement under which the United States postage has hitherto been collected in Canada is also suspended by the notice alluded to, all letters for Canada, which the writers desire to have forwarded by the way of the United States, should be addressed to the care of par ties in the United States, or they will otherwise be 'detained for the postage due for their transit through the American territory. " The postage on letters to and from Canada, for warded via Halifax, Nova Scotia, will be Is. 2d. the half ounce, as at present, but no charge will be made on newspapers either in the United Kingdom or in Canada. " By command of the Postmaster-General." These regulations will take effect on and after the 3d of November next. POST-OFFICE.—NEW REGULATIONS.—On and after the 10th of November, letters exce eding or four ounces in weight, must be pre-paid in money, in stamps. With this restriction, any weight ma y be sent by post, but the packet must not x eceed two feet in length, and nothing s hould be posted which will not bear the crush in the letter bags. THE SHAESPERE DTEUORIAL NIGHTS.—We are be i ng au thorised to state that both the lessees obtaltr in being es tablishments of Covent-garden and Drury lane have generously given the free use of their respec tive theatres to George Jones, Esq., as Chairman of the People's Central Committee, for the purpose of a Shakspere Memorial Night." The lessee of the theatres at York, Leeds, and Hull, has also granted to the chairman the free use of his several theLtra, upon which occasion Lord Morpeth, M.P. for Yorkshire, has given his patronage. The members of the histrionic profession will now have an opportunity of evincing their sympathy in the good cause by their instant volunteering, and thus support the enthus , astic efforts of the chairman of the committee, who, upon this occa sion, re-enters the profession, and has given his gra tuitous servic( s to every principal theatre In the king- dom.—Observer. ALARMING INCIDENT. —Yesterday afternoon a carriage and pair, belonging to Mr. Connal, broker, while standing at a shop door in SAuchtehall-read, sud denly started off at a fearful pace, the hors! ci,o it r seems, being having been alarmed b y the carria g e slammed to by the coachman.
