We are happy to inform our Customers that WE HAVE SECURED SOME OF THESE. They are REMARKABLY FINE, finer than any we have hitherto sold. Congous are better adapted for consumption in Liverpool, on account of the HARDNESS of the water.

To give our Customers an opportunity of tasting the FINEST of the new Season's Congou, we shall sell it at 4s. per lb. It does not pay us; but it is as much as it is worth.

THE enormous supplies of gold yielded both by Australia and California are well known ; from time to time we hear of the arrivals of large remittances, even as much or more than a million sterling in a week ; and yet, in the face of these apparent causes of great abundance, we have complaints of scarcity, and the rate of discount is high because the stock of bullion in the coffers of the Bank of England is so low as to excite apprehensions of the capability of the Bank Directors to meet their engagements. It is, therefore. a matter of some interest to ascertain what has become of the gold which has thus so mysteriously vanished almost as fast as it has been produced. For a long series of years the production of gold kept pace with the requirements for it, and the alternate excess and deficiency were caused by the ordinary fluctuations of trade, so that the scarcity at one time was compen sated by the abundance at another, and the quantity of gold in circulation, both for home and foreign trade, was considered amply sufficient for all ordinary pur poses, and no alarm was felt as to any probable want being unsatisfied. When, however, the startling in telligence was received that gold had been discovered in California, in unheard-of quantities, and from appa rently inexhaustible sources, followed a short time after by still more startling accounts of discoveries of gold in Australia, which exceeded in richness the Californian El Dorado, speculation was freely indulged in as to the effect of such an enormous addition to the stock of the precious metals. References were made to the influence which the discovery of the Peruvian mines had upon prices in Europe many years ago, and it was confidently predicted that we should shortly witness still greater changes, so that sovereigns would be reduced to half their value, and the nominal price of every other commodity would be proportionately enhanced. Indeed, a dread was expressed that we were on the eve of a monetary revolution, by which creditors and fixed annuitants would be the great suf ferers, and that even a necessity might arise, from the presumed cheapness of gold, of substituting some other metal as the standard of value. It should be remem bered that these predictions were made at a time when the promises of abundance were as yet unrealised, and that the subsequent supplies have even exceeded the expectation. eutertatnea. It Is cer tainly keeping within compass to estimate the additions to the stock of gold from the discoveries in California and Australia, at a hundred millions sterling ; and yet, notwithstanding this enormous addition to the metallic resources of the commercial world, so far ex ceeding that of any previous period, we have had for months past diminishing reserves in the Bank coffers, until the margin of surplus became so limited that the rate of discount was continuously raised upon the plea that such a step was necessary to stay the perpetual drain. Here were two influences of directly opposing tendency working simultaneously, and all previous experience seemingly set at defiance. On the one hand, was the new and abundant supply almost con stantly pouring in, every arrival from either gold country augmenting the stock in circulation ; while, on the other hand, was an equally constant demand still greater in extent : so that the excess was more than absorbed, and we were threatened with the evils arising from scarcity instead of over-abundance. In endeavouring to ascertain the probable cause of this seeming anomaly, much must, of course, be left to conjecture ; but, at the same time, the subject is worthy of investigation, as helping to remove some of the misconceptions which naturally arise in the public mind. It is well known that the agriculturists, as a class, will take every opportunity of hoarding gold coin, not always from want of any information on the subject of investments and interest, but the majority of them live far away from banks and banking opera tions, and may, at the same time, possess but slender confidence in paper securities. But, whatever may be the cause, the fact remains ; and many have been known to possess large sums in this way. The distress occasioned by the repeal of the Corn Laws brought many of these hoards into circulation, and, no doubt, i li me c eu. n c } u w, r no r rn e tntei the cdye last htbi twoicnhat i p yo r ne e a N or m s : , h l e hi d gn wh for r a, pricest iciaoeniride accounted, in a great measure, for the abundance o f the c h si a d s e r a beenb metalle t t h abundant crops ; and, if the 570,000 farmers have availed themselves of their opportunities in their usual way, a very large amount of gold is, no doubt, reposing in their coffers, and creating that scarcity in the mercantile world which has been alarming the Directors of the Bank of England. In France, however, the predilection for hoarding gold is more prevalent than in England, although the means of the inhabitants for gratifying this taste may not be so large. The French agriculturists have also had many advantages, and it is not at all improbable that in the two countries there is absorbed, in this way, more than sufficient to account for the apparent deficiency. There are many who attribute the scarcity to the remittances made to the seat of war ; but it must be remembered that this does not remain, but is merely in course of circulation, returning rapidly to the centres of commerce in payment for supplies. A month's receipts from Australia would replace all that has so been taken into consumption ; but the deposits in the hands of small holders have been accumulating, and will continue to do so until circumstances shall occur to bring them again into circulation, when we may again witness a plethora of bullion in the absence of any large receipts from abroad. A remedy for this inconvenience will in vain be sought in any endeavour to persuade the agricultural portion of the community as to the propriety of investing their surplus money through any of the ordinary channels. A better way would, perhaps, be to afford additional facilities for doing so. In Scot land there is not a town, and scarcely a village, where there is not a branch of a Joint Stock:Bank, and in these establishments a small farmer or tradesman may receive for his deposit a receipt bearing interest, and backed by the security of a responsible body of shareholders; while the business of the community is carried on by small notes, enjoying an equal share of public confidence. In England, on the contrary, Branch Banks are mostly confined to large towns, far away from the great mass of the agricultural population ; and very few facilities are afforded for the possessors of small capital to obtain interest on their deposits. The English Banks shrink from the trouble, and disdain the small business ; thereby depriving themselves, and the mer cantile community, of monetary resources which they might otherwise possess. It would be worth the at tention of some of our Joint Stock Banks whether a plan of operation, something akin to the Scottish system, might not be introduced with mutual benefit to both parties ; or it may be found, and that at no distant time, that high prices have enabled the agri culturists to absorb all the available gold, and a recourse to small notes be absolutely indispensable. TRADE AND COMMERCE. THE returns of the Board of Trade for the month of October, which have just been published, offer the most convincing testimony which could be afforded of the little injury to our commerce resulting from the continuance of the war, and that elasticity of industrial resources which seem to rise superior to all apparently adverse circumstances. Notwithstanding the vast amount of shipping which has been continuously engaged in the public service in the Black Sea, and the restriction which must thereby have been occasioned to the pursuits of trade, it appears that the declared value of British exports for the month referred to has considerably exceeded that of the corresponding period of last year. An alteration has taken place in the time of making the returns, by which the comparison is actually that of 31 days, with a period of only 26 days, so that the apparent increase is £2,388,430 ; but, making the necessary deduction for the difference of time, there still appears an increase of nearly a million on the month. The depression is therefore more than removed, and the fact made evident that, in spite of the war, our com merce is rapidly extending beyond all the power of Russian hostility or monetary pressure to injure it. The great increase of exports is shown, by the returns, to be in cotton, linen, and woollen manufactures, in metals and machinery, the chief sources of our com mercial supremacy ; while the items of decrease are comparatively unimportant. With reference to the means of consumption enjoyed by our population, some test is afforded by the quantities of imported articles retained for home consumption, and here the account is on the whole satisfactory. As might have been expected, there is a considerable increase in wheat, flour, rice, and Indian corn, while the decrease in sugar, tea, coffee, &c., is but small. There is also a small increase in tobacco, fruits, and spices. So that the account is far more favourable than might have been anticipated, when recent high prices are taken into consideration. In the imports of raw materials there is an increase under every head, except that of hemp ; and the inference may therefore fairly be drawn that, in no respect, have industrial activity or commercial enter prise experienced an injurous effect from hostilities with Russia. [DECEMBER 4, 1855. RUMOURS OF PEACE. THE cessation of actual hostilities, and the anxiety, doubtless, felt by Russia to find some means of escaping the consequences of a war which threatens almost her annihilation as an empire, have led to increased exertions on the part of the peace party to force on negotiations for arrangements, without the slightest regard to the preservation of the national honour, or the accomplishment of those objects for which the war was commenced. This is one of the dangers to be dreaded during the Parliamentary recess, owing to the little confidence which can be placed in the firmness of Ministers, notwithstanding the warlike professions of Lord PALMERSTON. It is well known that there are several members of his Cabinet who are not averse to peace at any price, because the war imposes difficulties with which they are unable to contend ; and should Russia, from necessity, agree to accept the conditions she so indig nantly rejected during the conferences at Vienna, the opportunity might be seized upon to agree to con ditions with which the country ought not to be satisfied. The four points which formed the subject of discussion at Vienna were less than should have been insisted on at that time, considering the expense which had then been incurred, and the more than doubtful security which would have been afforded for the future independence of Turkey, the free navigation of the Danube, and uninterrupted trade in the Black Sea. Since then the expenditure of the Xllied Powers, both in men and money, has been considerably increased; our claim against Russia has been propor tionally augmented ; and, though we have partially won the required guarantees by the capture and destruction of Sebastopol, we have a right to expect some compensation from the offending party for the necessary outlay. It is idle of the advocates of peace to pretend that because the fortress of Sebastopol has been taken, there is no further object in the continuance of the war. The siege of that important stronghold of the enemy was but an incident in the contest, a means to an end, and that .end must be achieved before conditions of peace should be conceded, without sacrificing the great cause at stake. We have certainly for a time gained the freedom of the Black Sea, for the Russian fleet has been immolated to ideas of Russian policy ; but to retire from our hostile attitude at the present juncture would be to enable Russia to repair her losses, great as they are, to recover her position, and render neces sary at no distant time a repetition of all the sacrifices which we have lately had to encounter. An appeal is made to mercantile interests as being the great sufferers by the war, but the assumption is altogether founded on error. A reference to the returns of the Board of Trade, which we have alluded to in another article, will show that neither our exports nor our im ports have diminished, but, on the contrary, have ex perienced a very satisfactory increase ; and even the high rate of discount, which is at present the chief burden, is not fairly attributable to the war, but to our injudicious monetary system. On the other hand, the mercantile community should bear in mind that the destruction of Russian power and influence in the Black Sea will open up sources of future trade almost incalculable in extent, and worth far more than even the great sacrifices which are at present being made to obtain it. There is much that remains to be done, even though Sebastopol be destroyed. The Russians must be driven altogether out of the Crimea, which, by judicious arrangements, might be placed under the government of an independent ruler; the Asiatic pro vinces which Russia seized from Turkey during her onward march of aggression must be restored to their old possessors; the navigation of the Danube must be rendered practically and permanently free to com merce ; the scattered Poles must be restored to their former nationality, in order to form a barrier against future encroachments ; and Finland placed once more under the dominion of Sweden, to form a check against the preponderance of Russian influence in the north. These are objects desirable of acquisition, and at even the cost of a far greater outlay than has yet been in curred ; but their realisation will be hopeless, if the Ministers listen to the craven fears of those who have neither the patriotism to wish, nor the courage to con tend for, the maintenance of the greatness and honour of the country. It is, however, gratifying to know that the feeling of the vast majority of the people is in favour of the war being prosecuted to its legitimate results, and that a dissolution of Parliament would place the ad vocates of peace out of the power of doing mischief. The Ministers must, however, remain true to their professions. Lord PALMERSTON should remember the fate of Lord JouN RUSSELL, or he will find that, however high his position, or plausible his excuses, the interests of a great nation cannot with impunity be be trifled with. NO WAR WITH AMERICA• O THE government of the United States is, it it '- satisfied with the explanations of the British 3fin iste 4 l that the augmentation of the West India fleet had; reference either to Central America or to Yanke e Tr bustering expeditions, and forthwith The Times e ° gratulates its readers upon the gratifying prospeo o continued peace with America.
