Its beneficial effects have been particularly striking in the following complaints:—Noctur nal pains in the limbs, scrofulous enlargement of the glands, cu taneous affections, chronic rheumatism, &c. ; in freeing the sys tem after a course of mercury, its beneficial effects are very power ful. It purifies the blood, and, by giving to the cutaneous vessels a healthy and regular action, it removes that disposition to erysipelatous inflammation from which so many persons periodi cally suffer ; and when taken in the spring and fall of the year, as an alterative medicine, it will be found to impart that strength to the constitution which is indicated by firmness of flesh, good appetite, and freshness of the complexion.

GENTLEMEN, The prospect of a'prolonged absence from England forbids me again to ask, at your hands, a renewal of the trust which I have now held uninterruptedly for a period of six years. Enfeebled health obliges me to seek, (luring the ensuing winter, a more genial climate. This alone induces me to decline the offer you have so handsomely made of continuing me in the Represen tation of your Ward. Although for a time absent from you, believe me I shall ever feel a lively interest in all that concerns your welfare, and I shall rejoice to hear that those institutions we have mutually supported continue to flourish. Permit me, in conclusion, to thank you for the extreme for bearance you have ever extenied to me in the discharge of my public duties, and the liberal construction you have at all times put upon my conduct. To many amongst you I must be allowed further to tender my most grateful acknowledgments for the many acts of personal kindness I have for years past experienced at your hands.

Various speakers addressed the different groups, and a number of strong resolutions were unanimously adopted. The mob was at one time composed of 20,000 to 25,000 persons, principally costermongers and other low characters, In some of the groups there was a playful ten dency to bonnet the speakers, but otherwise, beyond the breaking of a few hurdles, and a slight pelting of the police with turf, probably with a view of exciting them to action, there was little disturbance. At about five, p.m., it was moved that the meeting adjourn till three o'clock on Sunday next, and slight rain falling, the motion was carried, and the people walked quietly off. SINGULAR AND FATAL GUN ACCIDENT.— Captain Ingle field's company turned out on Tuesday at Sheerness for target practice with round shot and shell, firing at a target distant 1,500 yards. Eight rounds had been fired from the 56-pounder, in turn with four 32-pounders, the 56-pounder firing round shot, the 32's shell. On firing the ninth shot from the 56-pounder the shot had left the gun, and was near the target, when, from some unaccountable cause, the gun burst into several pieces, the whole of the inner end of the gun dropping at least 100 yards from its original position, the outer end, taking an opposite direction, doing considerable damage to the next gun carriage on the same battery. The outer frag ments of the gun cut off both legs and part of the body of Gunner George Brown, and took off the upper part of the head of Gunner George Gosling. Brown was alive when taken from the battery, but has since died ; Gosling was killed on the spot. Several fragments of the gun, with the entire inner end, passed within arm's reach of Captain Ingle field and Lieutenant George Maul. Had the sad accident occurred five minutes sooner, from six to eight persons must have been killed, as they had only that moment left to witness the entry into the garrison of the two field batteries of horses for practice.

In connecr tion with the new Palace there are three towers, which form its most prominent features, and which, in consequence of their great height, may be seen from almost every portion of the metropolis. The Victoria Tower, when completed, will be 340 feet in height, or sixty-four less than the height to the cross of St. Paul's. The sides of the tower are each seventy-five feet in length. The central tower is one which covers the grand central hall between the Houses of Lords and Commons. It is circular in form, sixty feet in diameter, and the top of the lantern which surmounts the dome is 300 feet above high water mark. The tower at the north end, close to Westmin ster-bridge, is the clock tower, which, when completed, will be 320 feet high. Like the Victoria Tower, this tower is square in its construction, each side being forty feet in length, but it will differ from the larger tower in being surmounted by a perforated belfry spire. The tower has now reached an eleva tion of about 200 feet, there yet remaining 125 feet to com plete the work. There are five stories in the tower, beneath that in which the clock will be placed. An air -shaft, twenty feet in diameter at the top, runs down the entire length of the tower, through which the supply of pure air is proposed to be drawn by Dr. Reid into those subterranean chambers where it is warmed, cooled, or mixed previous to being inhaled by hon. members and noble lords. The floor in which the clock is in tended to rest is 165 feet 7 inches above high-water mark, and the centre of the dial-plate of the clock will therefore be 182 feet 7 inches. Above theclock there will be a smallpointed tower ris ing from each of the angles'2o feet high, while the central tower will soar to theheight of 70feet, and will be surmounted by a tall vane. The clocks has been made by Mr. Dent at an expense of £1,800; for which sum he contracted at an actual loss, looking to gain by the reputation acquired. The entire ma chinery of the clock occupies a space sixteen feet long by five in width, and its weight is over four tons. The dial-plates, of which there is one for each of the four sides of the tower, are 22 feet in diameter. The four sets of hands weigh twelve cwt., and are 20 feet in length, and will strike the hours, and two blows at every quarter. The pendulum vibrates once in two seconds. The minute hand will discharge itself every 30 seconds, when the end will move over seven inches each time. The great bell, which is to be of from 14 to 15 tons weight, will be about nine feet in diameter and eight feet in height ; the largest of the four quarter bells will weigh about five and half tons, the same size as the great bell of St. Paul's. The whole clock will be about eight times as large as an ordinary cathedral clock. The striking power of the hammer will be equal to the enormous weight of one ton and a half, while the escape wheel, which is driven by a tiny musical-box spring, weighs but half an ounce. A paper recently presented to Parliament shows that the sum which has been already expended in the new Palace, including the purchase of houses and land, has been £1,663,954, but a further sum is required, according to the estimate of Sir C. Barry, to complete the work, of 031,557, bringing the total estimated cost up to £2,595,611, and the whole of the works may, it is anticipated, be com pleted within a period of four years and a half from the pre sent time. Of the £931,557 only £278,285 is required for the completion of the building itself; the remainder being for " improvements" in the neighbourhood, viz., £25,000 for raising the roof of Westmister-hall, £68,000 for the removal and new site for St. Margaret's Church, and the remaining £280,000 for removing old houses to improve the approaches. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1855 MONETARY AFFAIRS. THE operations of the money market in London, and the changes in the rates of discount, and conse quently in the facilities for accommodation, have a sensible effect on commercial transactions, and there fore command a considerable share of attention at the present time. They would otherwise be of compara tively slight import ; but, so long as panics and their concomitant evils arise from mere vague impressions, without reference to judgment or even to material facts, it becomes necessary to pay some attention to such movements. On Thursday last, the Directors of the Bank of England made another advance in the minimum rate of discount, that is, fixing the lowest rate of interest at which they would lend money on mercantile bills ; and forthwith we were told that the Funds had considerably suffered, although the quota tions presented but little real difference. The inference which is endeavoured to be drawn from this fresh application of the screw is, that the Bank Directors are in dread of a continued drain of specie, and pursue this means in order to cheek the demand for accom modation. If this were true, it might be supposed that money was becoming scarce, and that there were in consequence grounds for apprehension as to mer cantile security, which is usually endangered by difficulties in obtaining discounts. Other facts, how ever, do not seem to warrant this conclusion; for, though the natural tendency of continuous advances in the rate of interest is to induce demands for discount, in order to make timely provision for expected difficulties, and thereby to create the very evil which such measures are professed to guard against, it is stated that unemployed capital is more than ordinarily abundant ; that loans are made on Government Secu rities at the low rate of three and a half per cent.; and that Discount houses have money so freely offered to them that they have been compelled to refuse it. Yet, in the face of such evidence of almost a plethora of capital, we find the Bank of England continuing to attempt a restriction of its issues by increasing its charge for accommodation ; so that we have a right to assume that other influences are at work than those which ordinarily operate in affairs of this kind, Again, the efforts of speculators for a fall in the Funds have been unceasingly pursued, and yet so large has been the demand from the public for stock for invest ment, that these efforts have proved comparatively ineffectual, and the Funds with all their fluctuations bear now, and have borne through all these adverse movements,—with an expensive war being carried on, and money also required for the purchase of foreign e t a p t part rt o f the Bankeof primary England supplies of corn,—a far higher price than at any pre vious period under similar circumstances. It already on th been s d that th of has this movement was the operations of the Bank of France to obtain a large additional supply of gold in order to compen sate for the drain which the exigencies of the war had created, and the enhancement of the difficulty by the home demand which the movement itself had. stimu lated. We may, therefore, view it in the light of an operation confined to that establishment, rendered necessary by its own circumstances, and justified by a prudent regard for its own protection against the con sequences of liabilities imposed upon it by legal enact ment. Unfortunately for the quietude so essential to mercantile security the Bank of England occupies too prominent a position for the influence of its operations to 'be confined within itself. The note of alarm is sounded, and forthwith other Banks, upon whom no special demand is made for gold, restrain their accom modation, which is the life-blood of commercial busi ness, and increase their rate of discount so as to trench largely on the small margin of profit which is often all that is left of mercantile transactions. There is, therefore, a danger to be guarded against, while there is the seeming paradox to account for, that money should be so plentiful and at the same time so dear. It is not the only instance in which resources which might be mutually advantageous are rendered unavail able for the want of co-operation. Some years ago there was much capital, for which profitable investment was sought in vain ; land that urgently needed the outlay of capital to render it productive; and labourers who wanted employment ; yet it was long before these separate elements of wealth could be brought together, and each suffered in the meantime. There is now, it appears, no real deficiency of capital, and yet, from a feeling of alarm, the holders are afraid to venture it in the channels through which they ordinarily seek for profitable investment. By far the largest portion of the national commerce is necessarily conducted upon credit, acceptances forming a kind of paper currency which represents goods passing from one to another. It is this credit which is assailed by the movements of the Bank of England—which may be designed solely for its own protection—producing doubts which have no other foundation, and therefore they become of an importance which otherwise they would not possess. From all that can be ascertained of the causes of the present rise in the rate of interest, there appears not the slightest doubt that they have sole reference to that demand on the bullion resources of the Bank of England made by the Bank of France ; that they are not in any degree concerned with the amount of capital at the disposal of other banks ; nor in any way induced by the slightest suspicion of the soundness of com mercial credit ; and yet, because the head establishment refuses to lend money for less than six per cent., other banks follow the example, and then the public at large begin to entertain notions that something must be wrong, when in reality we have reason to be thank ful that so little cause exists for any apprehension. There is no doubt that the fact of a war being carried on which adds so largely to the national expenditure induces a belief that there must be a considerable drain upon our monetary resources. This is partly true, but not to the extent which is generally supposed, as, notwithstanding the large amount in figures which stands in the national account, the real outlay in actual money is comparatively insignificant. It is also to be borne in mind that the surplus profits of this country considerably exceed the ordinary means of invest ment, and almost rendered necessary some mode of expenditure which should afford security to the indi vidual possessors. It has been argued that the vast sums spent in railway construction afford a proof of the national capabilities ; but such investments were in reality the creation, not the expenditure of capital. It is a far better argument to refer to the concluding years of the last war, when much greater sums were expended, when our population was fewer, and our means of production considerably less : yet, the pressure was borne with as little inconvenience as at present. The whole of the existing difficulty appears to turn on an alleged deficiency of gold, and why ? Within the last few years the enormous supplies obtained in California and Australia have been added to the general stock. They must still exist for purposes of commerce, in Bank hoards as security for notes, or as representatives of material wealth ; and yet, be cause the Bank of England does not possess a surplus considerably exceeding all possible requiremepts, or rather because the Directors discover that they can find a profitable use for a portion, and choose to imagine that the demand will continue to render their ~.~'" a , tit_ -NUL to 217 ynt arl w€ 1 Or d kel,at 4 ti„ t 1 7(` 11 ha: 1114it,''e ti, etw e r et ' Y i k e 45 4 4 tp H OUSEHOL IX COALS SUPPLIED IN LIVER P O 0 L BIRKENHEAD, SEACOMBE,.
