The immediate object of the assemblage was to re ceive the report of the deputation which at a former meeting had been appointed to wait upon Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and to impress upon his Lordship, as the responsible leader of her MAJESTY'S Government, the urgent and imperative necessity of an immediate revision of the financial code, and the adoption of large and comprehensive reforms therein. The inha bitants of Birmingham are an energetic and deter mined people. When thoroughly convinced of the injustice and impolicy of any law, they speak out boldly, and act vigorously and efficiently. Their conduct when the Reform Bill, the most recent charter of the constitutional liberties of the people, was imperilled, need not now be recalled—what Englishman can have forgotten the decided course adopted when the resignation of Earl GLIM' in May, 1832, and the summons of the Duke of WELLINGTON to office, gave a temporary triumph to the borough mongers, and saddened the heart of every sincere Reformer. The inhabitants of Birmingham then ex hibited the glorious spectacle of a people conscious of their own strength, and firmly resolved that no Minister should stay the constitutional expression of their feelings. Its Political Union took the lead in those mighty demonstrations against which even the Iron Duke dared not to contend. Nine days saw the Liberal, the Reforming Ministry, restored to office with tenfold strength, which, like the fabled ANTAUS, they had gained from their prostration, and the irresistible power of the people was clearly and for ever established. The struggle then was for the purification of the House of Commons, that it might be practically what it professed to be—a real repre sentation of the people. Since that period many important ameliorations have been intro duced. Freedom of trade has been estab lished i n every respect, with one great exception. Many monopolies have been swept away, although the most pernicious of all, the most in jurious to th e national prosperity, still exists. This is now to be destroyed, and the pe o pl e o f Birming ham, as heretofore, have arrayed themselves in the foremost rank for the contest. Mr. Sc noLEVIEL D , detailed the parti cu l ars of the interview that took pla ce with the that and shortly stated the substance of th arguments Premier, h a d been urged on his Lord s hip. It was almost ta ti o un necessary to say that the members o f the deputation the had determinedly and satisfactorily discharge duties they had bee n dele gated to perform. The mere recapitulation of the statements they had made were quite sufficient to demonstrate that fact, and to entitle them individually and collectively to the marked thanks of every person opposed to the present system. It is not, perhaps, surprising that the depu tation failed in eliciting from the First Lord of the Treasury any expression of his intentions, or of the effect on him of the information convey bu ed, tit is not therefore to be supposed that it was without value. No hope was held o ut to the deputation from Liverpool, and yet within five days an important change was made — the Bank Charter Act was virtually condemned, and although the change was not adequate to the want , of the country, and a ratt, of interest was thereby fixed, which, if maintained for any lengthened period must prove utterly ruinous to our mercantile and manufacturing interests, and to the entire of the working population of the country, yet it was valuable, because it proved the inadequacy of the present laws, and that the Ministers had decided on an alteration thereof, whatever might be the cha racter of that alteration. Parliament, too, had been convened to assemble at an early period, within a fortnight from the day of the interview, and the Premier would naturally enough desire that he should be the first himself to state the nature of the proposed reforms to the Members of the Legislature. All, then, that could have been expected was a polite and courteous recep tion, a patient and attentive audience, and these were accorded to the deputation ; and if no satisfac tory or favourable answer was returned, there was at least nothing adverse to the principles which were advocated; and we may reasonably hope that the great truths that were advanced, pointing out the inevitable consequences that must result from an ob stinate adherence to the pernicious laws now in force were not without their effect on the mind of a Minis ter really anxious (as we believe him to be) to for ward the best interests of the nation. But the people should not, therefore, be apathetic or quiescent. This is peculiarly the time for action. That there will be a change is certain, but we believe that no person can as yet state the character or extent of that change. It is by no means improbable that, after passing an Act indemnifying the Bank for the recent violation of the Act of 1844, and affording some temporary aid for the relief of the existing distress, a searching inquiry into the operation of the monetary laws may be directed, and that thus the measures from which the nation can alone hope for real prosperity may be postponed. But what neces sity can there be for this investigation—what testi mony can add to the strength of the evidence already adduced, to the truth of which every day's experience gives addition _Mc orroboration—what reports of commit tees can impress more fully the propriety of a great and comprehensive measure of reform ? The pecple should be well aware that the granting a Committee is too frequently the means by which an inconvenient question is put upon the shelf, and they should lose no opportunity of calling for immediate le gislation on the subject. Every delay, too, is in the highest degree injurious to all our interests, Will our unemployed operativest i be contented to en dure privations, and to remain without earning the means of subsistence for their families, because an inquiry is carried on ? No, it cannot and must not be—at least, unless some adequate relief is imme diately granted. It is easy to speak of over specula. tion as the cause of our distresses—to ascribe it to every cause but the real once, which in the resolution unanimously adopted by the meeting have been properly described as " the cruel and fraudulent laws that regulate the monetary system, and which are in their nature a warrant of ruin against every enterprise of industry." The communications which are to be made by the Birmingham Currency Asso ciation to Liverpool and other commercial towns, with a view to obtain their co-operation, will be productive of the best results, and the pledge that one thousand pounds shall be imme diately raised and placed in the hands of the Association, for the purpose of defraying its expenses, shows that the meeting was really earnest in its determination, and resolved to spare no means to attain its objects. Many thousands, how ever, should be made applicable for this purpose. The large funds collected by the Anti-Corn-law League were amongst the chief elements of its gigantic strength, and materially advanced the period of the triumphant termination of its labours. The recommendation with which, on Friday even ing, we accompanied our remarks upon the inaugu ration of the government of Lord DALHOUSIE over the British possessions and dependencivs in Ilindos tan, is one of such peculiar importance as to justify some more explicit and detailed allusion. That re commendation, it will be remembered, had reference to the facilitation of transit throughout the Asiatic peninsula, by the laying down of a network of rail ways. We then observed that steam communication would, among a multitude of other advantages, ensure a larger amount of enterprise in the culture of our cotton plantations, and thereby render the manu facturers of the United Kingdom less dependent upon the United States. Experience, statistics, and the deductions of the commonest sense, would assure us that such must obviously be the con- sequence of such a movement among the authorities of British India ; and an intel- ligent correspondent of a morning contem porary has just corroborated our inferences by facts accumulated both by personal inspection and ' indirect inquiries. Without plunging into anything like perilous speculations, the Earl of DALHOUSIE may impart to his administration in the presidency of Bengal a lustre more brilliant and permanent than that diffused by territorial conquests. There is no longer a necessity for enhancing the power of the Company by the acquisition of new dominions : there is no longer a pretext for continuing our spoliation as conquerors, or of enhancing the magnificence of our Oriental Empire by those deeds of subjugation which have been forced upon us through the jealousies of adjacent kingdoms. The kingdom of Oude—the impoverished domain of the last successor of SUJAR DowLAH—will in all likelihood he incor porated with our possessions in Hindostan imme diately anterior to the arrival of the new Governor- General at Calcutta. One other portion of the peninsula will then remain to he conceded to us for a pecuniary consideration by its incompetent ruler, the Nizam of the DECCAN. Whether these additional acquisitions be completed in succession by Lord lIARDINGE or by his successor, it is certain that they must be ultimately effected, and it is equally certain that in the present position of affairs in the East there is no immediate probability of any further extension of British authority. The casualties of time and the vicissitudes of events may, unquestionably, arouse into activity the enor mous strength of a military character, now lying dormant in Hindostan. The stupendous peace establishment still maintained in India, con , sisting of no less than 194,000 armed men, may be again transformed into a war establishment; and the achievements of CLIVE and CoMBERMERE may be ex celled even beyond the northern slopes of the Hima layas, but the prospect afforded to the Earl of DALHOUSIE, on the assumption of his Vice-Regal sceptre as Governor-General, is one of quiescence and of civic activity. It behoves the successor of HARDINGE, therefore, to consolidate, by sagacious legislation, the vast ter ritories which have been acquired by strategy and prowess. It behoves him to emulate the renown of his most distinguished predece:sors rather by the be nignity of his enactments than by the terror of his arms, rather by the accuracy of the balance than by the sharpness of the sword. It he aspires to inscribe his name in luminous characters in the history of the Indian Government, he must do so by civilization more than by conquests. The glory of CLIVE ; the intellectual scope of Ilismos ; the determination of CORNWALLIS; the skill of I3Aacow, the precision of WELLESLEY ; the tact of MINT() ; the suavity of MOIRA ; the diplomatic caution of BEN YINCK ; the daring of AUCKLAND ; and the consistent Patriotism of HARDINGE, must be regarded by the Earl of DALHOUSIE as so many incentives to exertion, though that exertion should be restricted to the bloodless task of developing the resources and con firming the liberties of the multitude. There is no cause even for the most insatiable ambition to re pine because of the moderation of this pacific policy. The materials are glorious enough to appease even the cravings of CHARLEMAGNE, or the aspiring genius of NAPOLEON. An empire extending over 1,287,483 square miles, includi ng th e tr ib utary an d protecte d states,yieldin g a cont r a e i v n e in n g ue 0 1 f 40t,w72e2nt,7y il 00 m i l r in t bitants sterling,, and assuredly suffici en t to occupy of many ge nerat i ons of statesmen. the T e intellects British , as ARCHIBA LD empire in I n di a i s, in trulth ALISON has obs e r ve d (Hi,tory of E urope, p. 343), "perhaps th e most extraordinaryvol. x., phe nomena in the history of th e species,'' stretching into "that vast region, the fabled scene p fromopulence and grandeur since the dawn of civilizati oon which the arms of ALEXANDER rolled back, w hi c h the ferocity of Tis'oua imperfectly vanquished, and the banners of NADIR SHALL traversed only to de stroy." Suchare the territories over which the Earl IRE SUN, LONDON, of DALuousu has been summoned to exercise his administrative abilities. Such are the dominions which he may elevate to an unparalleled prosperity by giving to Oriental industry the paramount aid of the steam-engine. How far British India may be enabled by the facilities of railway communication to assist in sup plying our manufacturers with raw cotton, may be recognised from the facts that, although the cotton trades of India and America were equivalent ir.‘ im portance as recently as 1790, they are so far dist imi lar at the present period, that the latter exports to England ten times the quantity received from the former, and that whereas the American cotton-growers obtain about 4001bs. from every acre, the cotton growers of British India produce merely 1001bs. per acre. These circumstances must be borne in recollection together with the statement of Mr. M'CuLLocu, who, in his Commercial Dictionary estimates the entire annual value of the cotton manufactures of Eng land at 34,000,000/. —showing by that calcu lation the enormous and continual demand for an article of commerce which might be received almost entirely from our Oriental possessions, but for the re markable insufficiency and incertitude of transit from the interior of Hindostan. In spite of this lack of communication between the ports and cotton planta tions of India, says Mr. PORTER !(Progress of the Nation, p. 751) " the supply of cotton has augmented with a satisfactory rapidity, being now three times as great as it was in 1833." In 1833 the quantity of cotton imported from our Asiatic dependencies was 32,755,164 lbs., iyhich had increased to no less than 88,639,776 lbs. in. 1844. If such has been the augmentation in the teeth of so many and such expensive difficulties as have crippled the enterprise of cotton-growers in Hindostan, what would not be the increase of imports from our possessions on the construction of a variety of rail roads connected with each other, and threading the most cultivated regions of the peninsula? What, we may ask, moreover, are not the opportu nities afforded to England by her possessions, with reference to her ultimate extrication from dependence on the cotton growers of the United States, when we remember not merely the opening afforded to our manufactures in the markets of Hindostan, but bear in recollec tion also that assertion of Mr. PORTER (p. 770), that " there is every reason for believing that cotton of excellent quality may be raised in great abund ance "in Australia ? With an enterprising and sa gacious administration, the manufacturers of the United Kingdom may, in the end, be dependent only on the dependencies of Great Britain, and America may as well whistle jigs to a milestone 2s dream of holding our Government in terrorem by a threatened retention of its bales. King CHARLES ALBERT left Turin on the 3d inst. for Genoa, accompanied as far as Roubatto by the population of that city. The Augsburg Gazette of the 3d of November, under date Naples, October 24, states that the open ing of very important diplomatic negotiations was expected in that capital, as well as the arrival of an English and French fleet. The French squadron, commanded by the Prince DE JOINVILLE, was still lying in the Bay of Spezzia on the Ist. It was, however, rumoured that it would shortly sail for Naples. The Swiss Diet met on the 4th at Berne, and after a discussion of four hours adopted the following re- solution, by the ordinary majority of twelve and two half-cantons (Berne, Zurich, Glaris, Soleure, Schaff- hausen, St. Gall, Grisons, Argau, Thurgovia, Ticino, Vaud, Genera, Bale country, and Appenzell ex- terior) : " The Federal Diet, considering that by the decree of the 20th of July of this year, the separate alli ance of the seven cantons of Lucerne, Uri, Schwytz, Unterwalden, Zug, Friburg, and Valais has been de Glared incompatible with the dispositions of the fede ral compact, and in consequence dissolved ; that the above-mentioned cantons have been rendered respon sible for the observation of the decree, and that the Diet has resolved, if circumstances should require it, to take ulterior measures. Whereas, the deputations of the cantons composing the Sonderbund have al ready declared in the sitting of the 22d of July that they did not acknowledge this decree—whereas, the above-mentioned cantons did make, before the 30th of July and after this date, extraordinary military preparations, raised field works, pro cured arms and munition from a foreign country, evidently with the intention of opposing by force of arms the execution of the decrees formed by the Diet—whereas the same cantons not only did mot observe the decree of the 11th of August, by which they were seriously warned to abstain from all that coald disturb the public peace, but that after as well as before this decree they have acted contrary to the decisions of the Diet, in constructing redoubts, and in continuing their extraordinary preparations — whereas access to the authorities charged with giving the instructions, and to the laudsgemeznde of the can tons in question, has been refused to the federal representatives nominated by the Diet, circulation of the conciliatory proclamation, dictated in a spirit of confederate friendship, has been forbidden almost everywhere ; and in the canton of Lucerne this de cree has been assimilated to an offence punishable by law—whereas the propositions tending to effect a reconciliation made since then have been repelled by the same seven states ; and all the efforts that have been tried with the intention of prevailing upon them by pacific means to acknowledge and accom plish the federal duties which they had sworn to fulfil were fruitless—whereas the deputations of these cantons quitted, on the 29th of October, the Diet, as well as the seat of that assembly ; and by this act, combined with the declarations made at the same time, and the military preparations in progress ever since, placed themselves in open hostility to the Confederation—whereas the compact ordains and the Diet is bound to enforce respect to the de crees it has adopted, in virtue of the powers vested in it by the federal compact, and must employ every means placed at its disposal by said compact to put a period to a state of things menacing the internal and external security of the Confederation. "Agreeably to the articles 1,6, and 8 of the federal compact, the Diet decrees the following : " Art. 1. The decree of the Diet, dated July 20, of the present year, respecting the dissolution of the se parate league, concluded between the cantons of Lu cerne, Uri, Schwytz, Unterwalden, Zug, Friburg, and Valais, shall be carried into execution by force of arms. "Art. 2. The General-in-Chief of the federal troops is charged with the execution of said decree. " Art. 3. The Diet will adopt all ulterior measures necessary. " Art. 4. The federal directory is requested to communicate, without delay, the present decree to the General in-Chief of the federal troops, to the fe deral council of war, and to all the cantonal govern ments." At 8 o'clock P.M. expresses were dispatched in every direction to convey to the different cantons the decree of the Diet, and the Ambassador of France sent off an extraordinary courier to Paris. Bale city has agreed to supply a double contingent in money, and to place its artillery corps, the whole of whom are Liberal, at the disposal of the Federal Government. A flotilla, composed of three steamers and a num ber of decked boats, had been organized by the Catholic League on the lake of the four cantons. The Government of Ticino had abdicated, and in vested with the most extensive power a cantonal council of war, assisted by a military tribunal, sitting at Lugano, which, in case of need, was authorised to send commissioners to the different districts of the canton. It appears certain that the Austrians were about to establish a cordon of troops along the fron tiers of Ticino and the valleys of the Grisons, border ing on the Valteline. They had, moreover, closed the pass of the Splughen, the principal entrance of the canton of the Grisons, on the side of Lombardy. The passes through the mountains leading from Berne to the Western Valais were already obstructed with snow. That circumstance, of little importance for the defence of the Valais, was a severe blow to the people of Friburg, who expected to be able to com municate with their brethren of the Valais through the gorges of Gessenay. It is supposed that the first attack will be directed on Friburg. On the 3d, a battery of siege artillery left Berne by the Friburg road. The Jesuits of Friburg have enrolled their pupils in the army of the Sonderbund,! and the Jesuit Fathers march with the troops, and endeavour by every means in their power to excite their fanaticism. They have placed the canton under the protection of " Our Lady of Vie t::: they;” an d, says a letter, written by a Jesuit Father Univer s , " O ur L a d y w ill soon see at her feet newlaurels, ga th ere d b y the brave about to fight under . h er tegis, wearing on their £ breasts the me d a l o men who are her immaculate concep- TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 9, 1847. tion." This passage alone is sufficient to prove the ignorant fanaticism of the Sonderbund troops, and the infamous manner in which the Jesuits exploiter that fanaticism to serve their own purposes. As might have been expected, the Jesuits' lessons have already borne fruit, two unfortunate natives of the canton of Berne, named SCREIDEGGER and ZBINDE, who had long resided in the canton of Fri burg, were about to return to Berne, in obedience to the orders of the Diet, when they were seized at Rechthalde, in Friburg, by the partisans of the Jesuits, and were hanged upon two trees, and their bodies ripped open. Such was the announcement made at the Prefecture of Berne on the 6th. The 15th Battallion of Infantry of Berne is composed almost entirely of Catholics. Thirty-two privates have deserted from it. These are the only desertions that have taken place from the Bernese contingent. The arrival of the Schwyz:troops to garrison Zug, on the part of the Sonderbund, has given rise to blood shed. There is a large Liberal minority in Zug, who resisted the attempt of the Schwyz troops to tear down the proclamation of the Diet, and a desperate fight ensued between the troops of Zug and those of Schwyz, both members of the Sonderbund. Lucerne has terminated its preparations of defence. On the 31st ult. and Ist inst., two hattallions of in fantry- of Lower Unterwalden and Uri, a battery of six pieces of heavy artillery, and two companies of carabineers, entered the city. Madrid journals of the 2d have arrived. Ros DE OLANO having resigned his seat in the Cabinet, the office of Minister of Public Instruction was offered to PIDAL, but refused by him, notwith standing the pressing instances of Queen CHRISTINA• This refusal on the part of PIDAL seems to portend the downfal of the present Cabinet, a suspicion which is confirmed by the fact that MARTINEz DE LA ROSA has been appointed Ambassador to Rome, in the room of PACHECO. It is said that there is every proba bility of a Puritan Ministry being again installed in office. ESPARTERO has refused to accept the English Embassy, which hal been offered to him by CHRISTINA and NARVAEZ, evidently as a snare. Such is the rage of these worthies at the refusal of ESPARTERO to fall into the trap prepared for him, that, unable to contain it, they have dispatched an order to him to con tinue to reside abroad until further commands. There is something truly ridiculous in this exhibition of impotent malice. It is not at all probable that ESPARTERO would desire to return to Spain while such persons as NARVAEZ and CHRISTINA were in power. As every Liberal elector of Madrid has been struck off the register by order of the Ministry, our readers will not be suprised to learn that the muni cipal elections have turned out in favour of the Afrancesado party. MADRID BOLqA, Nov. 2.—The Three per Cents. were done at 26k for cash, and 27 at fifty days; the Four per Cents. at 15i for cash ; and the Five per Cents. at 16 for paper. We have recived the Paris papers of Sunday. The affairs of Switzerland are the subject of com ment in all these papers. To the attacks of the Journal des Dtbats on M. OCHSENBEIN on account of his invasion of Lucerne, at the head of the'Corps Francs, two years ago, and on the whole Liberal party in Switzerland, as accomplices in the alleged assassination of the peasant leader LEu, the Consti tutionnel gires the following crushing reply : " Our Government, in sending muskets and artil lery to Frihurg, has made itself a corps franc as regards the Liberal cantons of Switzerland. French cannon-balls and bullets will carry death among the ranks of Berne and of Zurich. M. GUIZOT is about to cause the blood of the Swiss soldiers to be shed. M. OCUSENBEIN, in his intervention against Lucerne, at least exposed himself to the danger to which he exposed others. But (says the Journal des Debats) M. LEU, of Ebersol, was assassinated by a fanatic Radical ; therefore, undoubtedly, the Radical party is a party of assassins. Such am insinuation is simply an infamous calumny. We can remember when in France a fanatic named LOUYEL assassinated a Prince of the Blood Royal—the Duke of BERRY. The journals of the Jesuits' and of the Ultramontanists of those days (we will not repeat their names), ex claimed that the whole of the Liberal party were accomplices of LOUTEL ; they even attacked the Prime Minister of the day, M. DEC A Z ES, who had been guilty of opposing some resistance to the re-actionary party; they told him that his foot had slipped in blood—they insinuated that this assassination might have had for its object the opening the way to the throne for a new dynasty. These hideous accusations, these abominable calum nies, are now reproduced against three-fourths of the Swiss people, against its Government, and the as sembly which it has placed at its head." Arrangements are, it is said, on the point of being concluded between the authorities of the English and French Post-offices, and the directors of the London and Dover, the Boulogne and Amiens, and the Great Northern Railways, for the dispatch of mails twice a day between the two capitals. The mails are to leave Paris for London at twelve o'clock noon and at seven in the evening. The letters which leave Paris at seven in the evening will be delivered in London between eleven and twelve the following morning, and those which leave Paris at noon will be delivered in London the following afternoon about four o'clock. The frigate Uranie, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral BauAT, of Otaheite notoriety, arrived at Brest on the 3d. She left Otaheite on the 31st May, at which date everything was tranquil.

Captain Gordon, equerry in wait ing, rode on horseback to Eton, on Friday morning, and inspected the fresco paintings which had been dis covered on the walls of the College Chapel, upon the removal of the oak pannelling. A splendidly executed bust of Lord Howe (of " the glorious Ist of June" cele brity), by Behnes, has just been presented to the college by the present Earl. The examination of candidates for his Royal Highness Prince Albert's prize of 50/. for the promotion of the study of modern languages, commenced this morning, and is not expected to terminate before Monday next. THE LATE SIR HENRY MACLEOD, K•ll.—This distinguished officer, the account of whose demise reached this country by the last mail from Trinidad, has filled the office of Governor and Commander-in -Chief of that colony since 1842. From an early period of his life the deceased officer was connected with the army. In 1815, he received the order of St. Wlademir, for his services at the siege of Dresden. He s ubsequently served at Waterloo. In 1832 Fe attained the rank of Colonel. For some years back Sir Henry was connected with the colonial service. For a considerable period ho filled the office of Lieutenant-Governor of St. Christophers. He was next appointed Lieutenant -Governor of Trinidad. In 1842 he was promoted to the joint office of Governor and Commander-in-Chief, which office he he held up to the day of his death. The GORLITZ MURDER.—A letter from Darmstadt announces the arrest of a servant of Count Gorlitz, who was also in the service of the unfortunate countess, who. it will be remembered, was found burnt to death, and of whose murder the count was accused. The servant is accused of attempting to poison the count. Some soup served up to the count's table having a curious colour, it excited suspicion, and on being analysed was found to contain a strong dose of poison. The father of the ser vant has also been arrested. WINDSOR, MONDAY NIGHT. — To-morrow, the Prince of Wales's birthday, there w ill be a large dime r party at the Castle, including se ver a l military officers, and the principal nobility in the neighbourhood; a n d i n eelebrwion of the day, the troops in garrison, the Royal Horse Guards (Blue), and the Ist Grenadier Guards, are to parade and fire a feu de joie in front of the princi pal entrance to the Castle. The children belonging to her Majesty's schools in the Great Park are to have a holiday, and their parents and friends are to be invited 1 to a tea party at the schools. HOLLAND.—A royal decree of the 17th ult. admits the importation of every species of provision' (corn, meal, vegetables) into Holland, free of all Rhine-duties, up to December 31, of the present year.• MONEY and COMMERCIAL INEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was firmer, with a moderate supply. Sales, 5,000 bales. Prices were about id. per lb. higher than on Friday last, including 4,000 bales of American at 6d. to bid. per lb. Surat realised 3i 1. to 4d. per lb. Railway Shares improved, and were at advanced prices, with a better market. Indistinctly hinted at yesterday morning was a fact of some importance, which later in the day b came some what confirmed, and led to very considerable conversa tion. We must take it for granted that the fact is as stated, viz., that the rich banking firm of Jones Loyd and Co., of Manchester, have intimated to their customers that they are about to com mence a new era in the banking business with which they are connected. The leading and most intelligible fact communicated is, that all who are indebted to the firm are called upon to pay the balances against them. This is stringent, certainly, but not a novel plan to get in old debts, as in cases of dis solution of partnership such a course is alvva)s adopted. And hence it is surmised by many that this is the real aim, so as to let the head of the establishment get quiet to enjoy his otiunt cunt dignitate apart from banking difficulties, with a large fortune, and a well-earned reputation. How the new system is to be carried on, and of what it is com posed, is a sacred secret at present—at least to the public, though, in all probability the modes operandi has been communicated to the rela tives and immediate friends and most worthy of their customers. At present the affair is very much clouded in mystery, and so we must for the present leave it. There are not any colonial arrivals announced in the City this morning. We do not bear of any further failures. A fair amount of business has been done in the Consol Market, and at full prices, say a rise from 831 to 84i, and the Three per Cent. Consols have ob tained the same value. The premium upon Exchequer bills has advanced to 6s. discount. The small bills are at ss. premium. Bank Stock has ruled from 184 to 187. India Bonds under 1,0001. are at 20s. discount. There is not any variation requiring especial no• tice, either in the Foreign Funds or the Share Market today. At an adjourned meeting of the creditors of Messrs. S. Phillips and Co., now being held, a most favourable account of the concerns of the firm was brought forward, which elicited general satisfaction. It is too late to enter into details. Advices of August 28, from the Cape of Good Hope, state that there had been no movement against the Kafirs, but that Sir Henry Pottinger was assembling a arge force with the view of attacking the enemy. Copious rains had fallen in the colony, and the crops ooked promising. ONE CLOSING PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. PRI('ES: Bank Stock 3 per Cent. Reduced Anns.. 82 % 1 , 1 5 /8 82% 3 per Cent.

FORDYCE V. BRIDGES. This was a petition presented by Sir Henry Bridges, praying for a reversal of a decree of the Master of the Rolls. The facts of the case appeared in The Sun when the case came before Lord Langdale. ROLLS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.) There being no cause on the paper for hearing, his Lordship did not sit to-day. VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR Of ENGLAND.) THE GREAT •WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY V. THE BIR MINGHAM AND OXFORD JUNCTION RAILWAY COM'' PANT. The arguments in support of the demurrer in this ease were resumed to-day. QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) No cases of public interest were heard during the morning. Shortly before two o'clock the Lord Mayor, accompanied by the Recorder, entered the court. The Recorder handed in the name of the attorney for the City of London, in that court, and having introduced his Lordship to the Learned Judges, stated that he had been directed to invite their Lord ships to the civic banquet, to take place in the Guild- . hall to-night, in celebration of the new Mayoralty. Lord DENMAN, who wore his collar as Chief Jus tice, and appeared with the other judges, in his scarlet gown and flowing wig, replied that some of the judges would attend the banquet. The Lord Mayor then withdrew, and passed through the other courts, in which a similar ceremony was gone through. BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Banco.) CRIMINAL INFORMATION.-THE QUEEN V. MELANDEZ V. BARROIS. Mr. MARTIN said, two terms ago the Court granted a rule on his motion, at the instance of the Mexican Minister, calling upon the defendants to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against them for an alleged libel on the Minister. He neer sought the Court to discharge the rule. It appeared that one of the defendants was an invalid, and had left the country ; and looking at the difficulties the prosecutor would have to encounter in proceeding against the defendants, although he had no doubt he should be able to prove his case against them if be were to go on, he thought it would be better, under all the circumstances, to ask the Court to rescind the rule. Mr. Justice TATTESON granted the application, and, the rule was discharged. BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) IN RE LANDS. To-day was appointed for the choice of assignees, under a fiat issued against this bankrupt, as a boot maker, in the Edgeware-road. Mr. LAWRENCE appeared on behalf of the bank rupt, and applied for an adjournment, as the Fel" tioning creditor's debt was disputed, and it could no doubt be shown that if any debt existed it was due to the petitioning creditor as a partner. The bankrupt had been summoned under the let and 2d Vic., and,. was taken by surprise, and i n consequen ce. did not appear to dispute the debt, and a fiat was sued out, but the petitioning creditor was the only creditor, for in fact the bankrupt had not carried on any business, though, no doubt, he was a trader, sufficient for be purposes of this Act. Mr. Camberton, the solicitor to the petitioning creditor, opposed any adjournment. Mr. LAWRENCE said it was a very hard case on the bankrupt, and an adjournment could not prejudice any person. His Hortoua said that he could not adjourn the case without the consent of the petitioning creditor._ Mr. LAWRENCE then said that he would examine Mr. Dolman, the petitioning creditor. Mr. LAMBERT contended that the examination could not be taken in order to prevent the choice. Mr. LAWRENCE, on the contrary, urged that the petitioning creditor's debt could be disputed, and his Honour allowed the examination to be proceeded with, in the course of which Mr. Dolman said that his dealings with Mr. Lands were entered in big account-books. His HONOUR on this held that he could adjourn the case for the production of the books, and the case W 0 adjcatrned for a week. Mr. LAWRENCE said the ba n krupt was a ma n - °,, some property, and if the c l a i m was made out Pi would be paid at once, and the fiat superseded. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY .) THE LATE GAMBLING CASE.— Mr. Lewis, who, on the several examinations in th e a b ov e case , presented the principal, A n d rew William :B has re - Barr, ap t peared before Mr. J ar di ne thi s mor ning to oft bail on his behalf, havin g g i ven no tice to lr y ; Abrahams, the solicitor f o r th e p ros ecution, h e- t Saturday evening.
