THE CURRENCY QUESTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TI4ES Sir —I venture to put forward the following views on the Currency question. If the precious metals are not either wholly or in part to represent the paper currency, whit is to be substituted, or will yru have a paper currency withoat arty basa to quaiify its value. This latter I think no one wilt advocate. If paper is to be money without any bass, then any one who emu sign his name, can become a Milliona're whh a stroke of the pen. If for gold, or paper based on it, you substitu'e a cari - ency of basaess and unqualified value ; you reduce th 3 holders of property based upon such stand ard to the value of the baseless and unqualified substitue. A very sly, but sure way of carrying out the Chartist scheme of '• community of goods and a fresh start." Assuming that there must be a base; what shall that bete be? If a tangible recognised property, land, aed the precious metals -which represents realised labour and property, are the only real property—silks, corn, cotton, and other articles of foreign import any come within the category as assumed to ba paid for with gold, or balanced by exports ; but if these are in excess of demand, they a•e unconvertible, and of doubtfil value. If the balanc..: of trade is against us, gold will be wi hdrawn, as that is the only recognised paymentthroughout the world, from the earliest period of history, so ordalaed and adVised, as I 'believe, by more than man's wisdom, and continuously 'provided by fresh discoveries according to the exigencies of the world If upon the withdrawal of gJle., we can show imports to equal the deficiency, then it user be well to con sider how far a currency for domestic trade only may be safely enlarged upon it, and this especially, in the case of corn in times of scarcity, as in 1817, but this wi h great caution, cr we might be led into an excess, and stili be unable to meet our foreign creditors. I think a Bank, under the auspices of government, or a National Bank, may most safely hare an issue based upon laud, not payable in specie, for domestic or home trade, which might also, under government supervision, be ex tended to other Banks of issue. All mortgages are now abstractions from the trade cur rency, and an issue upon them would b 3 a sound, safe, and exteraive relief. A great portion cf the property of this country is kept a' its present price by fiction and rigg—manufacturers of rtilway-stocks, bank stocks , and government securities are, to a large amount, pledged at doable their paying interests . These being allowed to fell to their real value would liber• ate a 'arge capital for trading purposes,for who will dis count commercial paper when he can gat 8 to 10 per cent on such security. The limitation of our currency to the point that was suf -ficient ten years ago, must appear to every candid mind, however wedded to the prineiple, a fallacy ; but a baseless -unqualified issue is, in the other extreme, present prices ; and circumstances tell us we must either rastrain our 'boundless projects or enlarge ,ur capital. This, to be done honestly and safely, must be done on a sound basis. Land and the yrecious metals appear to me the only -safe basis. The extension to land must ha only for home pu-pa - es, not payable in sp cie, and coald be done very simpli under government supervision, with profit to the Consolidated fund. An issue on g werament securities is the most objection able propositicn I ever heard of and °den to the greatest evils. It is now a most speculative property (if it can really be called property) it is a debt or mortgage of the industry of the c)unty, and exists only on its paper reng nition—the principal having been spent in wars and other such expeisive indulgences, and to is,ne paper upon such a fiction would be to pledge the same thing twice. It -would give the government arvunduepowar at any -time to influence prices, and would be a powerful tool br the spec ulator. H. WES TON, Cams:von, Nov. 21, 1857. TO TH E EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES. Eir,—ln continuation f my apologetic lines of yester day,• I cannot refrain from stating that della , experience proves how very little this subject is understood :—the greater portion of the community acknowledge their igno rance, and they who do not, and who mike any pretentious, appear, for the most part, unwilling to admit anything into the consideration of the subject that is not based on the established and popular regime in which we have all been educated and trained. It teems at 11 to be as dark a subject to most persona as the science of astrology ; larking, however, the brilliant luminaries connected therewith, which are visible to all.—lt is like an abstruse science to them—unapproachable as it were by any bat bankers, bill brokers, money-changers, and monpolising merchants ; as though it were beyond the apprehensions of any coming short of talent commensurate with the calling of a Chan cellor of the Exchequer This prevailing simplicity, on the part of the public, is a problem which i will net attempt to solve at the moment, suffice it to say that few will deny the fact alluded to. Without, therefore, seeking to show why it is so, I will endeavour to prove why it should not be so. Is the currency c f the realm and the laws on which it is based of so little importance to any class cf society, that they will not,—in a land, laying cleirn to so much enlightenment, and rej tieing in their privileges of self legislation,—give themselves the trouble to investigate the true object cf the one, or the real merits of the wher, when such a scrutiny would make them conversant with that which should at a'l times supply trade, commerce and manufecmree, with something answering to the In' bricating fluid which is so indispenle to the safe working of any machinery of magnitude. Daily it is becem:ng more and more evident that the en rency of this country is of the utmost importance to every section of society, since it embodies the viral functions which give expre:sion to our industry—our talent—our wealth—and without which we should be reduced to carry on ourtrading by the antiquated, obsole e and cumbrous paoess of barter in its primeval acceptation From the child who bays his penny rattle, to the trader who truffles in sterling thousands, every individual has the handling of this money—medium of exchange— a d consequently is interestel in its integrity and efficiency— for although it be not universally known, his prosperity and permanent success depend as much on that as oa his talents and assiduity in business. Hence he is, as much called upon, by the ordinary dictates of prti fence, to see that a curren-y which has such important functions to perform be the useful thing required without being invested with powers foreign to its normal attributes, as he his bound by patriotism and loyalty under our British constitu tion to promote the amendment of inefficient 1 .ws, by the re • turn of suitable and right-t carted men as representatives to Parliament, which, if he neglects.—according to the notions of every Englishman, he would expect and justly deserve to be misgoverned and oppressed. Is it not time. therefore, that this sapUeness and wilful ignorance, as to the menu and demerits of our exist ng currency, and currency laws, be laid aside, and that eve y man high and low turn his attention to it; and that each ask his fellow what sho ld constitute the currency of this realm, since that of which it now consists, in consequence of its impo tency, has spin drawn us into a commercial vortex. the shock of which is, without precedent as regards its dimen sions, and into a labyrinth of social misfortunes and miseries it is to be feared, far more calamitous in their widely pervading influence than we have known in this country for many years, and all this suddenly, at a moment when we seemed to be at the zenith of prosperity, glorying in high prices, as the proof thereof, arid seemingly capable of so extending our complicated and vast operations as to convert every leaf, and every embosomed atom of the earth, into instruments for feeding our intollerable r Teel oneness, and fur fostering an unbridled spirit of emulation, coupled with an insatiable greed of gra;rl that had become reckless and profligate in the pursuit of a legitimate object, and callous to that adventurous, yet honest nobility of aetion, by which our f )refathers obtained the fair fame for which this highly favoured land was so renowned in every quarter cf the globe. Esquire my brother!—and with an unbiassed mind, you will not find it so obstrnee and difficult a subject to under stand as you may have been wont to imagine ; von will not be long in disco ering ?hat in every article of useful ness we are as rich now as we were two months ago, and that,—simply because g ,Id has in re dity or apparently be coins scarce,—Cotton and o her produce, which have in consequence become cheap, (a mast unnatural result miler a healthy state of things) be left idle in our stores Our mills and factories must stand still, aid our busy port be transformed into a harbour of refuge for a fleet of use less ships which our merchants, with the same possessions collectively as heretofore, can no longer send forth richly laden with the fruits of our industry and enterprise. The first scene in this dismal drama is now enacting under our eyes—well, indeed, will i be for us if the after scenes, which are already rumbling behind the curtain of our wiaka, le exerted by a kind interposition of 'Novi 'cm, THE NORTHERN TIIVIES:-EIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY, since all human experience gives countenance to our fears. In my next letter 'I will endeavour to unfold some plain preposition•, which may perhaps tend t 6 remove, in a measure, the existing obscurity with which this subject appears to some persons to . be shrouded, but which f^; me moment is again with much rea3otj attr:;.„, i , g public attenticn.—Your obedient aecYant, CORNALIus, Liverpool, Nov. 21st, 1837. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, Tuesday Evening. There Was a dull feeling in our Cotton Market teaday, and !nit es were ratha. irregular. The saieS Were abtur 2,000 bales. • The Liverpool 'Sh!-Le Market has shown more firmness, and prices have advanced about •per cent. ' It closes quiet. and business has been very small. The transactions were as follows :-Black burn, 81-, S '13.16 ; Caledonian, 36k; Eastern Counties, 10i ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 81 . 89 ; Do. £9 shares, par ; Lancaster and Carlisle, 72 ; London and North Western, 931, 93i, 933, 931, 934; Do.

The following were the closing prices :-Blackburn, 81, 88 ; Cheater and Birkenhead, 62i, 63 ; Caledonian, 301 37 ; Chester and Holyhead, 141, ; Eastern Counties 10 5-10. 10 7-16 ; East Lancashire, 86, 87; Do. 9/.

The funds to day were rather better, but business was very quiet Consols for Money closed at 898 to 90, and for the Account at 908, and the same price was current after special hours. The Railway Share Market was quiet to-day, and prices closed as follows :-Caledonians, 733, 74 ; Eastern Counties, 1.01, 100; East Lancashire, 86, 88; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 37, 39; Great Northern, 91, 92; Ditto A, 78, 80 ; Great Westerns, 471, 48; Great Western of Canada, 11, 17/ ; Grand Trunk of Canada, 83, 81 a Great Southern and Western ; 96, 98 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 881, 89 ; London and North Western, 931, 93g; London and South Western, 84/, 853 ; Leeds Northern, 473, 483 ; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnsh re, 351,. 351 ; Midland Stock, 80* 813 ; North British, 46, 47 ; South Eastern and Dover, 601, 61 ; York, Newcastle and Ber wick, 903, 913; York and North Midland, 773, 783. After official hours the following were the nominal prices:--Caledonians 731, 744; Eastern Counties 101, 104 ; East Lancashire, 86, 88; Great Northern, 90, 92 ; Do A, 78, 80 ; Great Western. 471, 48 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 881, 89 London and North Western, 931, 931. Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire,334, 351; Midland Stock, 801, 813 ; North British, 46, 47 ; South Eastern and Dover, 601, 61 ; York, Newcastle, and Berwick, 901, 913; York and North Midland 773, 783. The accounts from Ireland and Scotland report a satisfactory subsidence of the monetary panis. The only drawback to the favourable characteristics of the day is the announcement of the failure of an eminent firm connected with the Hamburg trade. • The Produce Markets are still languid. The Corn Markets were rather firmer to-day, and prices are slightly higher. Commercial letters from Paris state that last week retail business was more satisfactory, parti cularly in the ready-made and nouveautes shops. The first symptom of cold produced a great effect in stimulating winter purchases- Nevertheless, the sales are generally less considerable than they usually are at this time of the year. The factories are in a complete state of stagnation. Manufac turers do not seek for orders, because they could only execute them on disadvantageous terms, and with the prospect of payment at a long date. The great object with all commercial people seems to be to limit business for the present, and to husband their resources for a more favourable period. The Paris manufacturers have suspended their preparations for New Year's-day. They are not disposed to wive any credit. This state of things was inevitable with discount at ten per cent. No fears are,, however, entertained about the bills becoming due next month. The 31st of December is a less important day than the 31st of October, and the 30th of November, because it is very usual in those two months to settle transactions by bills for the end of January. • Advices from the provinces show that the crisis is very gene/ ally felt. Limited production is the order of the day everywhere ; buyers are few, although what few bargains are made any where are ail to the advantage of the buyer; but prices are by no means uniform. It frequently happens that the very same goods are sold at a reduction of from 15 to 20 per cent. by a particular house, while another will submit to no reduction whatever. Letters from Rouen, Mulhouse, Roubaix, and Lyons, state that the quantity of goods manufac tured is far from being sufficient to supply the average wants of consumption, and it is therefore to be expected that whenever the revival of business may come, there will be a very great demand. The upward movement in Grain and Flour which occurred when the decree permitting the exportation and distillation of cereals was issued, is checked, and prices have been very weak latterly, boih at the Paris Hallet and in the prin cipal country markets. Specu!ation stands completely aloof, and the ordinary wants of con sumption are insufficient to absorb all that is offered for sale. Sugars, Oils, and Tallows remain without any further fall. Wines are less buoyant at Ber , y. Some holders begin to think that th e y must is( sign themselves to a fall. The following are the latest quotations of the Foreign Exchanges :--Amsterdam short, 11 18, 12 ; Ditto, 3 months, 12 2 to 12 3 ; Rotterdam do., 12 2 to 12 3 ; Antwerp, do, 25 85 to 26 ; Brussels, do, 25 85 to 26; Hamburgh, do., 13 13 to 13 14; Paris, short, 25 40 to 25 65; do., 3 months, 26 5 to 26 15 ; Marseilles, do, 26 10 to 26 . 20 ; Frankfort, do, 1211 to 122 ; Vienna, do, 11 10 to 11 20 ; Trieste, do., 11 10 to 11 20 ; Petersburg, do., 321 to 33 1 • Madrid, do., 471 to 47i The:National Bank of Turin has raised its rate of discount to 10 per cent. A. despatch from St. Petersburg announces that the Exchange on London has fallen to 841-d. All the endeavours of the Government to prevent the t fflux of gold, short of absolute prohibition, must, therefore, be fruitless, for in the ordinary way of business, there would be a profit of something like ten per cent. on remittances of gold from St. Petersburg to England. From Sweden we learn the satisfactory intelli gence that the Swedish bills drawn on M essrs. Hoare, Buxton, and Co., and E. Sieveking and Son, will be mainly retired through the Bank of Sweden, who have been moved to interfere specially to protect the correspondents of these and other Swedish houses, which have lately suspended. The prospects of the English cre ditors, as a matter of course, are by this means proportionately improved. A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Wilson, Morgan, and Co., Lendon, wholesale stationers, who stopped on the 12th instant, was held yester day. The statement of affairs, read by - Mr. Chatteris, the accountant, showed liabilities amounting to 25,6291., and assets 9,4981. After various explanations, it was agreed to accept a composition of Bs. 6d. in the pound by three equal instalments at three, six, and nine months from the Ist of December, the last instalment to be secured. The Weekly Traffic Return of the Great Western Railway of Canada, just received, presents a de crease of 3,4021., compared with that for the cor responding period of last year. This Company are inviting tenders for loans on debentures at 6 per cent. per annum, for 3,5, or 7 years, to repay debentures falling due. The Coupons on Buffa'o, Brantford, and Gode rich Railway Bonds are aivertised for payment. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.—Nov. 24, The Cotton Market continues without chlngQ io—daq ; the transactions are moderate, and prices a°,"encoo greater regularity. The sales—including 50 Batia.s 6il to 7id, 500 Surats 34d.t0 sid—are reported 2,Q;tO bales+ of which 300 are for export. TO THE tDITOR OF TIIR IinRTHERN TIMIS. Si n. tithe of the press 111 the country took 11 pUrnis like yourself, on behalf of the crushed commerce of tie kingdom, and against the infamous Rink the pressure of pOlic opinion would have prevailed with Government.' Of nll people, certainly John Bull is the most pati2nt under injuries. The mercantile community have wan groaned under the iniquitous burden, but have endured meekly the yoke. Had it not been for this apathy, the present net would not have been renewed, or the packed committee of the House of Commons been allowed to discuss, as at present, this wise measure. Upon the nomination of the committee, it is well known it was south[ to have the commercial int,erest represented, but the whisper was hushed, and the quorum was ep pointed, my L ,rd Overstone (Mercatot) and the money Je vs pulling the wires—this exclusion of the interest most vitally concerned being sufficiently decisive of the result, and Yet but for the vortex in which we are all now engulphed, nothing would have been heard a7aii,,4 the re-imposition, at least until some futureialamity overtook us—as c?rtain to fellow as day to night.. It is the usual charaeteristic of n noble mind, to desire the h , nourable memory of posterity, but. my Lord Overstore and is class must be made of sterner stuff. This epitaph w eortninly he theirs —'f Kere lies one who amass , d a colossal fortune noon the commercial wreck of many a princely f and the pauperism of. the humbler classee." I have always beenpf opinion. that among the nestroras of the different currency reformers, truth was difficult of attainment. If a proper solution of this vexed question can, be discovered, what more likely, I would humbly than a . conference of the most noted financiers of England and Erieope, the sine qua non being insisted up , n, that no class interest, honking or otherwise, be represented, but whose evidence might be recjvcd. S . :rely. Sir, while we have lel our confereacos of Vienna arid. Paris, settling international diffieultieF, a conclu , inn as to Finance and Currency is not so. impassible, while its remit mould be to place the commercial e'ement upon a satisfactory basis, free from the pestilential ihflui nee of a few millionaires. A MERCHANT. Liverpool, 24:h November, 1857. MISS KATE SAXON AND MALONE RAYMOND, TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES. Sir,—Having long had the pleasure of catering for my friends in Liverpool, and from a sense of due resocc - , to them, as wPII as a duty to a most respectable lady, it may be satisfactory to state, in few word,, the cause of the unpleasantry which so unexpectedly occurred at the C mcert Hall, on Monday evening last, previous to my appearance. In the first place, I may mention that I am now, and have been f)r some time, under engagement to Mr. T. C. Fester . (a most respectable gentleman), to give my Enter t,linments, in conjunc'ion with those of his relative, Miss Kate Sax - ir, which I have already given 03 the other side of the Atlantic ter many nights. The y sung lady has already acquitted hers •If to the uni versal satisfac'ion of every atilie lee I have known her to appear before, as well as the approbation of the press. Site suffered fearfully on her recant voyage from New York to Liverpo an I I learned with reset that her health was so bid, many days after her landing, that Mr. F , ster itterl it prudent to delay her appearance in public as long as possible. On Sunday last, I was sorry to heir that illness still confined her to her room, and that o❑ Monday she was in a precarious and nervous state. The young lady, however, seemed to think that she could parform the duty allotted to her that evening, and prepared for the task wiTh great anxiety, but under much • xciternent, no doubt aUcellerated by the pleasure she felt in returning to her natiOe land after five years of absence, as well as from an ardent desire. which she liss always manifes'ed, to merit the approbvion of the public. Previous to the young lady's appearance on Monday evening, and while in the retiring room of the hall, she spoke in her usual agreeable tone and manner, till suddenly se seemed ex!iausted, and spoke of a fearful pain in the head. I immediately proposed to Mr. Fmter, to give my portion of the Entertainment first, but Miss Saxon said she felt better. Mr. Foster then lead the lady to the platform to usual. till surldPnly he cline to me in the room stating that she aq.ain s7etned exhAu;tel, and the circumatanel r,f the ejeetio of a female from the hall caused her to shed tears, r,oci exhibit all the symptoms of hysteria, to whie% she is sometimes suhj ct. Mr. Foster tied to lead her from the platform, but she reemed totally ut cmseious ; at lenob, however, by united persu7sion, she was induced to retire. On enuiry to-lay. I learned that she had had a alight rccurrence of the attack. I have consi , lerei it my duty to state the facts publicly, not only from rtspect to the highly respectable and crowded aud!ence who honoured us last night by their presence, but from a senFe of duty to a young, talenterl, and amiable lady, whose friends and family T have long been acq tainted with, and who, I am sure, will, on her restoration to health (which, I trust, will Iv oa take place), a frJrd as much, if tilt mon', •eal pleavire than any other lacy who ever nppe , red i❑ the good old town.—Most respectful:y, sir, R. MALDNE RAYMOND. FRENCH OPINIONS ABOUT OUR CONDUCT IN DELHI. TO THE TIMT3R OF THE NORTHERN TIMES. Sir,—l have faith in Louis Napoleon, but none in the French : the former lived in England, knew what she wag, her institutions, and her government ; the latter only h ar of her, of her greatness, her influence, and her power, which they vainly endeavour to imi`ate, but cannot, for— rharacteristic of France—it is done in a spirit of jealousy. To illustrate this the celebrated picture of " Dignity and Impudence" conveys a capital idea The French are loud in their condemnation of our pro ceedings in Delhi, because we put to the sword the men who could slay, in cold blood, women and childnn Here, again, the spirit or jealousy triumphs over jus ice. I would like to see, if a similar revolt took place, say in Algeria, and their wives, song, daughters, brothers, and sisters, were to b 3 murderei in cold blood, and then buried like felons, whether France would be the nation to keep down that spirit of retributi -n inherent in man ? Past experi ence has shown she would be the first to infl 'me it, and the most cruel in avenging it, which is proved by her con duct throughout Ihe whole of the Peninsular war, where even women were not spared, and by her more recant excesses in Africa, and this without any provocation, but for plunder. Let me recommend all Englishmen to place no reliance on France, for it is quite plain to every observing eye, that at heart she is her enemy, without having the candour and honesty to admit it.—Yours obediently.

Our marker. this morning was much more numerously attended than of late by the usual buyers, and we had several Yorkshire snd Warwickshire millers, attracted hither by the reduced range of our prices; the trade hewrver, manifested decidedly more tone, and sellers of wheat succeeded in recoverirg the depression of Friday, particularly upon fine qualities of red and white American wheat, which are comparatively scarce; on the whole, a fair extent of business has been done, but distant buyers have not been able to operate freely, owing to the altered nosirion of prices; the market closes firm.

IRISH BANKS. The last Irish bank returns show aji increase in the circulation, as compared with the proceeding returns, of £765,165, making with the increase of last month, an enlargement of the notes in the lianas of the public of considerably upwards of a million. This increase, large as it is, does not exceed that whichnsually takes place at this period of the year. In 1856 the increase on the month %vas £560,000; in 1855 it was £500,000 ; and in 1854 £670,000. During the next three months we miy expect that the circulation will about maintain its present level. There is ordinarily some increase in the issue in November, but at the present mo ment the banks will naturally pursue as cautious a course as possible. In the coin held there is an increase cn the month of £12,000. The following figures will show the position of the banks in the aggregate now, and at the same period of the five precedintz years For Weekg anclinv. Average Circulation Aver , ge Coin held.

ART LAW IN AMICRICA.—A curious decision has been recently given at the Marine Court, New York, by Judge Thompson, in the suit of Egusto Viers v. Maurice Strakcsch and B Ullman. The plaintiff sued fort 500 dole., a two months' salary at the Academy of Music, he having be n discharged by the defendants. The reason of his dis missal was, that he sang so much out of tune in the part of Count de Luna, that at the cost of 130 dots the directors were forced to provide a substitute. Judge Thompson held that the directors were not obliged to wait for the possibility of failure upon the stage, that they were entitled to a fair show at the rehearsal of what the singer could do, and that, consequently, they had a right to cancel the engag ment. Judgment was rendered for the defendants. In technical matters the decisions of judicial authorities are fr( quently wanting in the important element of common sense, and this would seem to be particu!arly exemplified in the present instance. A manager has certainly no right to engage an artist without having been afforded conclusive evidence of his ability, and the period for the production of this testimony is assuredly not the rehearsal of a performance. The basis of an engagement is the ability of the person with whom it is concluded, and if the employer does not take the precaution to ensure necessary stab.lity in this respect, the fault is decide 'ly his own, and the loss should fall upon bim, and not upon the individual whose shortcomings he has too late discovered. The whole matter, however, be .rs about it a strong tinge of the ludicrous. If it were possible, in this enlightened metropolis of ours, to make a legal onslaught on all the operatic artistes who sing out of tune, what a mat vellous improvement woul I- take place in the circumstances of a large section of the professors of the law—what an important increase would be observable in the business appertaining to the jurisdiction of the County Court.
