The first interference naturally astonished the People, for a solemn assurance had been delibe rately given that "all legislation affecting Scotch and Irish Banking would be postponed until next session (that of 1845)." But this pledge was basely disregarded, an amendment (?) was carried at the eleventh hour, by which the prohibition of new banks of issue in England was extended to the whole of the United Kingdom, and conse quently no bank has since been formed, notwith standing the large addition to the commerce and manufactures of the country. The restriction of the issues of the existing banks was provided by the enactment of the subsequent session, and thus the whole mischief was occasioned I The petitioners clearly show that these enact ments, which confer a virtual monopoly on the existing banks, are totally opposed to the prin ciples of free trade, which were shortly afterwards recognised by Sir ROBERT PEEL himself. They justly remark that it is " impossible, in the na ture of things, that there can be free trade in commodities, in the true" sense, if the trade in the very means or instruments, by which commodities are to be measured or estimated and interchanged, is a monopoly in the hands of a comparatively few privileged parties, whose interests are adv erne to the interests of all other classes of the-commu nity!" This is a great fact that cannot be sufficiently impressed on professing Free-traders. Although granaries may be filled to overflowing, the people may starve, if every transaction must be measured by Government inspectors, too few to do the business. A want of the means of transit would be equally prejudicial, and yet either case may be regarded as analogous to the scarcity of cur rency, by means whereof all transactions must be arranged. It may be desirable that some security should be given by parties desirous of starting a new banking establishment, as a guarantee for their solvency, and a margin to prevent the probability of a failure, to meet the just demands of the noteholders and depositors. We place both classes of creditors in the same category, inasmuch as if there were any winding-up or proceedings in bankruptcy, their claims should be liquidated pari passe, and the same rate of dividend would be paid to each. This, however, is altogether ignored by the framers of the law. They only profess to regulate the issue, although any refusal to pay the cheque of a depositor would be just as inju rious, as the inability to pay specie for a note brought in. A reasonable "caution" or guarantee may therefore be fairly asked for; but why should that necessarily be in gold, the hold ing whereof is completely unprofitable, and in the case of Scotland absolutely uncalled for ? It merely displaces so much capital in ;nether shape, which gives equal security to the note holders and depositors, and has the advantage of being productive in some way. It is the course adopted by him who buried his talent, and did not even put it out to interest. The great principle of unrestricted competition is, that whenever prices are unduly increased, and exorbitant rates of profits are obtained, industry and enterprise will be stimulated until the supply is proportioned to the demand. Bat while that demand has increased, is increasing, and will increase, the supply is fixed ant remains stationary. It is, in fact, monopoly in its most monstrous form, because it even prevents the monopolists themselves from meeting the addi tional claims on their enterprise. The petitioners say that there should be " as much freedom in banking as in baking—in the supply of money as in the supply of food . ; and that cheap or low prices for the one are not more important, than cheap or low rates of usanco or interest for the other." These aro wholesome truths, which are just as applicabl e t o thi s side of the Tweed as to North Britain. Wo earnestly trust that they may receive the calm and attentive consideration which their vast importance so fully requires. And that every unfair restriction on the formation of new banking establishments. And on the issue of bank notes for small denomi nations thereby, may be completely removed ; and that if any guarantee be required for the qicasi convertibility of these notes it may be deemed as satisfactory, if offered in Government Securities as in bullion. The great want of the nation is a really na tional note, receivable for every tax and duty, and which being regulated by Parliament, and based c n taxation, could not possibly be in excess. Every private or joint-stock bank should also be allowed to issue its own notes, convertible into the Go vernment paper, and that convertibility ensured by the deposit of an adequate amount in Consols, Ea - chequer-bills, or any other approved security. That would give free trade in currency, with full and ample security ; all, in fact, that could be desired to prevent the possibility of loss to either noteholders or depositors, and to secure that great desideratum—a circulation adequate to the wants of the country.

Lorcha, and waives the discussion of them ; but he affirms, what few reasonable persons now can doubt, that the great mistake consisted in not en forcing in 1842 our treaty right of entry, at Can ton, as at the other ports. A second time also, Sir JOHN DAVIS, after having destroyed many of the forts, and having a fleet at his disposal, con sented to defer the right of entry for two years ! At the end of this time a new Governor had arrived, and the difficulty with him and the mob was as groat as ever. Mr. FORTUNE ' and all persons who properly estimated the Chi nese character, knew that this would be the case. The Chinese were, in fact, rendered less concilia atory by our moderation, they took it for conscious weakness. Mr. FORTUNE tells us, that the Chi nese, " as a nation cannot fight, but they are first rate diplomatists ; on the other hand, we can win battles, and then allow ourselves to be outwitted by the diplomacy of a nation whom we despise in the field." Will Lord PALMERSTON be outwitted by YEII and the EMPEROR, at Cantdn. as he was by Lours NAPOLEON and the CZAR at Paris? Mr. FORTUNE contrasts tho results of decision at Foo-chow-foo, one of the five ports opened to us, with those of imbecile hesitation at Canton. " Our consul at Foo-chow-foo, the late Mr. LAW, alone and unaided, forced his way through the gates, and took up a temporary resi dence in a joss -house inside the walls. The man darins, finding one man, determined to secure our treaty rights, gave up the point !" What evils might not a little similar determination, with the force too at our command, have easily prevented at Canton? The opinion of this well-informed writer agrees with that of all others acquainted with Asiatics, on the imperative necessity of making no conces sions, but exacting to the full any demand once made. Concessions, with their training and habits, can be understood only in one light—as a sign of fear. Even had we been wrong it would now be cruelty to all parties to give way in the least. The slightest appearance of yielding would embolden the Chinese- to fresh violence and in solence, and end in creating .the causes of future and early, and probably bloodier wars. Mr. COBDEN'S party are answerable for the late war, and the exhaustion of the French and des potic policy of Louis NAPOLEON will be answerable for the next diploma tic and military aggression of the more than half- Asiatic Russians ; and anything, now, short of a policy which makes the Chinese recognise the superiority of our civilisation, our power, and our diplomacy too, will be a fruitful cause of war and blood 1 Mr. FORTUNE deems it essential that we should demand a free entrance into Canton, however un important in itself, for our merchants, mission aries, or any one who chooses to go, as well as for officials ; just as at the other five ports. He thinks, however, that we ought now to require the abolition of all these limitations, and insist on free access to any port and to any part of the Empire, also on direct communi cation with the Court of Pekin. China cannot long remain isolated from the community of nations, approached as she is by Russians on the Amoor, and by English and Americans on her seaboard. The sooner, therefore, she is re quired to treat other nations as what they really are, at least to treat them as equals, the better for her as well for us. And, the same force which is necessary to secure better tem porary relations might secure the fia/e.t Liberty of intercourse. China has no means of resistance, and nothing, but our being outwitted apir in dip lomacy, can prevent thins being placed on a basis which will need no revision. The writer sums up with the following conclu sions:—" That it is useless to attempt to negotiate with a man like Commissioner YEH ; we must have communication with the Court of Peking. 2dly. The Island of Chusan is the most suitable point from which we may conduct our negotia tions, both on account of its position, and as it is the most healthy part of China for troops. 3dly. If the lives and property of foreign mer chants aro to be safe at Canton, the mandarins and mob must be taught to treat us with more respect. 4thly. The other four ports ought to be respected, provided they do not mix them selves up in our quarrel with the Cantonese. sthly. China ought to be ()pried, and all those foolish restrictions imposed by the4last treaty on our trade to be swept away. 6thly. In conduct ing our operations the nature of the climate ought to be carefully considered, with a view to preserve the lives of our soldiers and sailors." MILITARY INQUIRY.--ENROLLED PESSIONFRS. [FROM A CORRESPONDENT. Government has reduced, and is reducing the army as much as a duo regard to the national and eternal interests of the country will justify and sanction ; determining wisely and properly that the nation shall not be called upon to keep up and maintain a single branch, which, after long years of trial, has not proved itself effective for those active duties required by the country. The hour—an hour long foreseen—has at last ar rived, when it becomes the imperative duty of the Government immediately to order a strict and rigid and searching investigation into the organisation, the expanse, and effi ciency of—what is called—the Enrolled Pen sion Force—a force, whose civil-military charac ter ingenuity itself would find it no easy matter to describe. This inquiry, which, iu its results, will prop() permanently important to the country, must not be entrusted to the military authorities at the War-office (we speak not of the independent character of the Commander-in-Chief ); it must be confided to a military officer of high rank and standing, of tried judgment and experience, and of independent character. The country at once points to the Inspector-General of Infantry, Sir Colin Campbell, as the officer best fitted to conduct this inquiry —his honest, upright, and noble mind being a full and complete guarantee that this duty will be fulfilled, sternly, perhaps, but most faithfully and justly, in the interests of the country. The Enrolled Pensioner Force was organised by Lord Hardinge when Secretary at War in 1843-4. It is well known that it was disapproved of by the Duke of Wellington, who considered that it would prove a most expensive and most useless force, and it was strongly opposed in Parliament. Returns and estimates will prove that, from its first establishment, it has cost the country HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS, and it will be equally proved, that in return for this enormous and uncalled for expense, it has not done one real good military service for the country, at home or abroad ; nor must we fail emphatically to add, that this most expensive force has not, by a single man, relieved the severe pressure upon our active army, even during the hard exigencies of war. Government is, there fore, bound, in duty to the country, to institute a strict and rigid investigation into the expense and efficiency of this organised force, in order to decide whether it shall be kept up in its present form, or re-modelled, or at once and finally dis banded. The higher interests of the country demand this inquiry.— United Service Gazette. The Duke of Cambridge, Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, the Hereditary Prince of Saxe Meiningen and suite, visited Aldershot yesterday, and review ed the troops in the Long Valley. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday at the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury in Downing. street. The Ministers present were—Viscount Palmer ston, the Lord Chancellor, Earl Granville, the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Earl of Harrowhy, Sir G. Grey, the Earl of Clarendon, Mr. Secretary Labouchere, Lord Panmure, Sir Charles Wood, the Right Hon. R. Vernon Smith, Lord Stanley of Alderley, the Duke of Argyll, and the Right lion. M. T. Baines, THE LAUNCH OV THE STEAM-PACKET FREDERICK WILLIAM.—This steam-packet, destined for the mail ervice between Dover, Calais, and Odom', was launched at Black wall yesterday. Tao following are her principa l dimensions :--length, 165 feet ; breadth, 20 feet ; depth 11 feet 3 inches ; tonnage, 3251. She is to receive en: glues of 120 horse-power (nominal), by Ravenbill, Sal. keld. and Co., fitted with all the latest improvements, and will be such light draft of water as to enable her to get info the tidal liar boors of Calais and Ostend at most times of the tide. DEPARTURE OF THE COLUMBIA.—LIVERPOOL, Wed nesday.—The Uuitt d Slates mail steamship Columbia, Captain Berry, sailed for New York at 1 p.m. to-clay, with the usual United States and Canadian mails, nine passengers and a considerable cargo of merchandise on freight. The. European and American Company's steamer Queen of the South loft Southampton yesterday, for New York. She took out about 230 passengers, and about 30U tons of cargo ; the chief portions of the pas• sengers and cargo were from Bremen. GODREVY LIGHTHOUSE.—}IA.YLE (CoRNwALL), June 22.—The Board of Trade have consented to the expen diture for 'the erection of a light on Godrevy, and the engineer is now preparing plans and specifications for tenders. From his intimate acquaintance with the indus try, productions, and wants of the Chinese, espe cially in the interior, Mr. FORTUNE is confident that the opening for interchange of commercial produce bct;veen ourselves and this 300,000,000 of people is literally boundless. In the interests of humanity and religion, not less than of com merce and civilisation, he would urge that the present opportunity should be used for completely opening the Empire to Europeans. It is due to the writer whose views we have just remarked upon, to add, that his whole book is full of interest at the present time ; it is far more valuable to Englishmen than that of M. Hue. Mr. FORTUNE'S business engagmeuts and his personal character gained him the entire con fidence cf the natives generally, and we feel that we know Chinamen much better after having permed it. SWEARING IN OF THE NEW QUEEN'S COUNSEL.—Mr. Phinn, late permanent secretary of the Admiralty, but resigned, Mr. Skinner, the Hon. E Phipps, Mr. Lush, Mr. Wordsworth, Mr. J. Locke, M.P., and Mr. Hod dlestone, having received their patents, and been sworn in before the Lord Chancellor as her Majesty's counsel learned in the law, appeared yesterday in Westminster hail i n s ilk. The learned gentlemen, although ranking as Queen's counsel, cannot be formally called within the bar until there is a full court, which does not occur until Michaelmas Term. On circuit, however, they take their rank. The ceremony of as ea ring in took place in the Lord Chancel' :r's private room at the 11 ou-e of Lords, the oaths being administered by the Queen's Remembrancer. lAlT'Gfie—ecA young lad of 18 years of ago, nhen, a t, 11-k ee p er on t h e G reat a S ai ß e o d cKf a N m G e Western read, Botanic Gardens, Glasgow, was drowned on Sunday . evening unde r th e f o ll ow i ng me l ancholy circumstances in the old quarry in the vicinity :—Hav ing sprung from the bank into the water in the quarry hole, he swam about for a few minu es, when, grow ing tired with the exertion, he dropped his Let and stood upright. The bettom of the quarry being cern posed of thick soft mud, his feet stuck firmly in it, and his struggles to extricate himself only caused him to sink deeper. At first the water reached only so high as his breast, but gradually he sunk until it reached his lips, and at length covered him. Life, of course, was over as scon as the water ascended above his nostrils, and all assistance was then vain. A passer-by, however, attracted partly by the cries of the unfortunate young man, and those cf a woman who had arrived at the quarry just as ho was on the poin t of sinking bmeath the water, stripped of his clothes and plunged in to rescue him. After considerable difficulty and no small danger he got the body on the bank, and every aid that could be bad was rendered to restore the young lad to consciousness, but, of course without avail.—Man chester Guardian. FIGHT BETWEEN J. BROOKES AND D. MORRIS, FOR 100/.—Ll accordance with "articled of war," these men met on Tuesday. The combatants were confined to Bst 81b. After a pleasant aquatic trip, the ring was formed on the Kentish Marshes. Morris was waited on by Bill Hayes and Bob Travers, while Jemmy Welsh and A f Walker did the requisite for Brookes.

HER MAJESTY'S STATE BALL,—The Queen gave last evening a State Ball, to which were invited the Royal family, illustrious foreign visitors, the whole of the Dip lomatic Corps, the Cabinet Ministers and principals of the Public Departments with their wives and daughters, the Ladies and Gentlemen of thz, household of the Queen, the Prince, and the members of the Rnyal family, and a very numerous party of the nobility and gentry, the the total invitations amounting to above 1,900. lead, getting on to his opponent in a rapid style, although for some 30 or 40 rounds the contest was well fought on the part of Morris. After the contest bad listed about an hour, Morris began the dropping system. Brookes, in this instance,• proved himself to be anything but a finishing fighter, for had he been so he must, despite the shifty tactics of his opponent, have won the,battle. In the whole, 104 rounds (if we may so call many of them) were fought, when a suspension of hostilities became necessary, as the police made their unwelcome appearance, and put a stop-to the contest. Brookes and his friends were greatly chagrined at this interruption, as victory they considered had ag but been gained. Arrangements have been made for the men to fight again on Saturday next. His Royal Highness the Duke de Nemours visited the Duchess of Kent yesterday. His Royal Highness Prince Frederick William of Prnssia also visited her Royal Highness on Tuesday. _ _ _ COURT OB ALDERMEN.—At a court held yesterday Mr. Alderman Wire presented the report of the Committee of Privileges on the subject of the charges against Sir. W. Magnay. The report stated that the committee had no power to judicially investigate the subject: Sir W. Magnay had submitted himself to the committee, and solemnly assured it that beyond the usual official cog nisance of the transactions he had no concern in the matter, and that no portion of any of the shares was ever, directly or indirectly, used or employed by him. The report was ordered to be printed. A letter was afterwards handed to the Lord Mayor, in which Sir W. Magnay said during the existence of the Belgian judg ment he should resign his alderman's gown. THE SUEZ CANAL.—The promoters of the Isthmus of Suez Canal Company held a meeting yesterday at the London Tavern, Sir J. Duke presiding, when the filL)w. lag resolution was agreed to :—" That the proposed ship canal across the Isthmus of Suez having been declar.d practicable by competent engineers, and all nations be ing invited to join in the undertaking, which will not be placed under the exclusive protection of any individual Government, this meeting, being perfectly satisfied with the explanations given by M. de Lesseps, considers its success will prove eminently advantgeous to the cam mercial interests of Great Britain." The Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry left town yesterday morning for the Continent. The Earl and Countess Grey have left town for the season. The Countess Spencer's ball, which was announced for the 6h of July, will now take place on Tuesday, the 7th. The Lady Suffield gave birth to a daughter at Gunton Park on Monday last.

BOURSE, June 24.—The result of the elections having been highly favourable to the government, in the departments, speculators have shown a dis position to make new purchases of Rente and shares, but the rise was checked by the uncertainty which existed'about the intentions of the Bank of of France, many persons apprehendin g that no modification would be made in the rate of dis count. Threes had been done at 691. and 69F. be., but receded to 68F. 80c. ; Mobilier varied from 1,185 f. to 1,185 f. ; Lyons, 1,515 f. to 1,505 f. ; Orleans, 1,495 f. 50c. to 1,485 f. ; Northern, 990 f. to 9851. ; Eastern old shares, 740 f. to 735 f. ; New shares, 725 f. t' 720 f.; Southern, 775 f. to 772 t. 50e.; and Austrian, 660 f. to 656 f. 25c. A letter from Cettingue in the Deutschland of Vienna, says :—" A conflict took place in Monte negro on the 27th May between the Kuciens, par tisans of Turkey (who to the number of 1,000 in vaded the Montenegrin territory) and 600 natives. The latter had 4 killed and 8 wounded, while the Kuciens had 3 killed and 28 wounded. The latter offered battle to the Montenegrins again on the morrow, but the latter declined to accept it and hastened to acqua;nt the prince, who was at the Cettingue, of what had occurred. The foreign consuls advised the prince to pardon both parties, and they offered to effect afterwards a reconciliation between them. The prince accepted this proposal, and it is hoped that hostilities will cease." "The negotiations," says a Vienna letter, "be tween the Porte and the great powers for the pur pose of abolishing the capitulations which accord to the foreign embassies jurisdiction over the natives of the country which they represent have not as yet terminated favourably, the powers hav ing declared that they could not consent to the proposed abolition until the Porte had introduced into its states a civil code in conformity with Euro pean ideas, and should agree not to make any dif ference in the application of that code between its Mussulman and non-Mussulman populations." The Grand Duke Constantine returned to St. Petersburg on the 15th from his excursion in Western Europe. IL I.H. is to take the direction of the Government during the absence of the Etn, peror, who was to leave St. Petersburg on the 23d June. Prince Orloff and Count Bloudoff are joined to the Prince in the Government, so as to form with him a sort of Council of Regency. ADM RICA. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY, 10.55 A.M.
