In another part of this day's NORTHERN TIMES we have given an epitomised account of the vacan cies and probable returns in the several Wards of the Borough on the the Ist proximo. Already there are symptoms of contests, several of which will, no doubt, be keen and spirted. As remarked in another place, the retiring member in Pitt street Ward is Mr. W. R. Jeffrey A few evenings ago, a considerable majority of the Electors of the Ward met at the Vine Hotel, Pitt -street, and presented Mr. Jeffrey with a requisition, requesting the continuance of his services. He has represented Pitt-street Ward since 1850— six years—prior to which he served the usual term as overseer of the parish. Although we may not agree with the political opinions of Mr. Jeffrey, it is but justice to say that he is a gentleman possessed of much aptitude for business, and con stant in his attendance on Committees. The fact of a majority of the Electors of the Ward, composed of all shades of political and religious opinions, nominating Mr, Jeffrey for the third time, is satis factory evidence that they approve of his public conduct, and appreciate his services as their representative in the Town Council. At a late hour last night, we learned that the Electors of Lime-street Ward hare agreed to a requisition, calling on Mr. J. R. Jeffery to become candidate for the representation of that ward, with the view of unseating the present member, Mr. J. B Lloyd. From what we learn, the contest in this ward will be close and severe. We forbear, for a day or two, to give currency to the many rumours which have reached us on these matters, until the Ward Meetings, which will no doubt commence next week. Our London advices of last evening inform us that Robson, the Crystal Palace defalcator, had been arrested. It appears that he had reached Copenhagen, but not having had the precaution to take out a passport, the police constable on his track watched his movements, and the Danish authorities having ordered him to quit the terri tory, he was pounced upon the moment he became amenable to British justice. Robson was brought up before the Police Magistrate at Bow. street, yesterday, and, after some formal evidence, was remanded for a week. The fact of his arrest caused no small sensation in the metropolis. The Municipal Revision terminated yesterday. From a report which appears in another column, the Tory party have been at their old work of annoying and inconveniencing the Liberal electors. The case of Mr. Edward Willmer, of Church-street, demonstrates the extreme length to which the clique, yclept the " Constitutional Association," will go to serve their bigoted party purposes. We yesterday alluded to some annoyances to which publicans are subjected, We would now call attention to another of greater magnitude, inflicting more serious, because unreasonable, in convenience. The injustice of the present billeting system is now generally known and almost univer sally acknowledged. How often is the home of many a well-regulated family invaded by the presence of a debauched infantry man, a swearing dragoon, or a drunken trooper—men who alike offend all sense of modesty, morals, and religion ? But this is not all. The Licensed Victuallers are subject to still greater annoyance. No matter at what hour a regiment, or part of a regiment, may arrive—whether at early morn or dewy eve ; nay, more, when it is at that peculiar hour, when " the early village cock hath thrice done salutation to the morn ; " or whether it is a more seasonable, period, the licensed victualler must be up and entertain his military intruders. The whole system of billeting soldiers requires revision, and we hope that the next session of Parliament will not be allowed to pass until its glaring defects and inconsistencies are either totally abolished, or reformed in such a way as not to oppress a class of tradesmen who, generally speaking, are already overtaxed. Our Paris letter, inserted in another column, contains all the latest news of the day from that quarter. - From Naples we learn that the political trials, which have been going on for some time past, are concluded, and the following sentences delivered : Mignonna has been condemned to banishment for life, Mauro Dangelis for twelve years, and the priest Decicco for two years. The monk Roggero and another have been set liberty. The King and the Duke de Calabria had arrived from Gaeta on the 30th ult. General Martini has been received by the King, and at the conclusion of the con ference a Council of Ministers assembled. Letters from Vienna represent the King of Naples as apparently inflexible, but ready to take any indirect way to satisfy the demands of the Western Powers, so that it should seem that the concession was not the result of any foreign NORTHERN by a royal decree, published in the Gazette, M. Tassara is named Spanish Ambassador at Wash- ington. Preparations are commenced for sending to Africa next spring a considerable amount of military and naval forces. There is not a single line of political interest in the Madrid journals of the sth. The Austrian Ambassador, M. Crivelli, had arrived in Madrid ; the Infanta Dona Josefa and her husband, M. Guell y Reorte, had left for San Sebastian; and the Espana says that Queen Christina intends to pass some time at Rome, in order to be near her daughter, the Prin_ cess de Drago, in her approaching aceouchement. In our impression of yesterday week we gave full particulars of the inundation of the Bryn Mally coal mines, by which fifteen lives were lost. Since that time strenuous efforts have been made to pump the mine sufficiently dry to recover the bodies of the miners missing ; but although 36 cwt of water a minute has been thus dis charged from the mine, fully 20 feet yet remains in it, and none of the bodies have been recovered. On Wednesday, another life was sacrificed. One of two men, who descended the shaft, was thrown against a tram, and instantly killed. THE breaking up of Bullionism in France, ought to serve as a salutary warning to this country and the rest of Europe. The United States would do well also to take heed of the great share--I pro- mise to pay gold on demand. The idea is perfectly preposterous in old countries eaten up by State taxation, population, and local rapacity ; and it is no less so in young nations, where every sixpence is required in active circulation to carry on the development of their resources. The " scarcest " commodity" is certainly not the best of all foreign articles even, which could have been hit upon for such purposes. The currency of every people must be representative. It must represent some• thing immoveable—something without which no nation can exist, and which would im prove in value according to the amount of labour, skill, and reproductiveness given to it. With such a basis for a circulation, we should have something that was always increasing in value with population and taxation ; and the public confidence in money, which represented fairly this ever-accumulating source of wealth, could not be shaken by any drain or incidental derangement of the bullion of commerce and the balances of trade. We should have no panics if we had a governable or fixed basis for our issues ; and that an enlightened people like the French should risk their lives and the peace of their country on a foreign commodity which they oannot control, is Debit.

In taking a weekly retrospect of the Liverpool Cotton Market, we have to remark that, under the influence of the first advance declared by the Bank of England in the rate of discount, our market on Friday last closed quietly, but yet steadily, holders deriving confidence from the un favourable accounts of the growing crops received from America in the early part of the week. On Saturday, however, about mid-day, when a week's later intelligence, quite confirmatory of the pre ceding accounts, was received by the Arabia, an ani mated demand again sprang up, in which all classes of buyers freely participated, and at prices rather above those previously current. Equal confidence and activity were experienced during the early part of Monday, but so soon as it became known that the Bank of England had further raised the rate of discount from 5 to 6 and 7 per cent., the market again suddenly collapsed, the demand falling oft' to the immediate requirements of the trade, and prices sinking to the level of Friday's quotations. This subdued tone continued to prevail till yesterday morning, when the current of feeling again changed, on receipt per steamer Atlantic, of three days' later accounts from the States, which, besides confirming previous reports of the backward state of the crop and the general ungenial character of the season, advised the occurrence, on the 23rd ultimo, of a white frost extending over a lar,te sectina of the planting districts, and which having increased the anxiety before felt as to the extent of the yield, had caused a further advance of cent in prices. The sales of the day were consequently very large—probably 15,000 bales— and sellers were very generally enabled to com mand again the extreme rates of Monday. This renewed confidence has again prevailed to-day. the sales being estimatei at 15,000 bales, 5,000 of which have been taken for speculation and export, and the prices of the most current qualities of American descriptions having ruled for the most part 8d per pound above those of Friday last, with full rates for all other kinds, and at which, it may be especially observed, Surats have been more saleable than hitherto during the week. The business of the week amounts to 63,730 bales, 40,150 of which have been taken by the trade, 13,010 for speculation, and 10,570 for export. The Committee's quotations to-day for fair Cotton are the same as last week, viz. :—Bowed, 61d ; Mobile, 6/d ; and Orleans, 74d per lb. Our Share Market to-day opened with a steady and rather better feeling, but towards the close of business, there was a considerable amount of dullness, and prices had a lower tendency. The sales reported included—Blackburn, at 8; Cale donian, 27k; Eastern Counties, 9 8 15-16; Lanca shire and Yorkshire, 948, k, 2.; London and North Western, 101, 1001 7-7, 4 ; Midland, 76k, 76. 762; South Eastern, 201 , ; Grand Trunk of Canada, 118 ; Great Western of Canada, 22, 1/, 2 ; The following were the closing rates quoted : —Aberdeen, 131 131 Chester and Birkenhead, 15k 15k.

There is not any change in the Money Market, although the demand has rather subsided. The market for public securities is, if anything, firmer. We borrow from one of last evening's London papers the following :—" Increased firmness is apparent in the English Stock Market, but there appears to some a struggle between the investors and the time dealers. The former avail themselves of the low value of the Funds, and purchase largely, being of opinion that any further decline is improbable. The speculators, on the other hand, are disposed to sell, in the expectation of a continuance of the crisis at Paris, and consequent depression here. The market at the present moment seems steady, and the Bank of France return has not affected the prices. It is true there is a decline of about 70,000,000 f. in the bullion, but it appears to have been used in trade, as the bills under discount have increased to nearly a corresponding amount. Continued purchases of gold, however, have evidently been made, and the next return will Probably show a more unfavourable change in this and other items. Consols are 914 911 for Money, and 92 921 for the Account." The Railway Share Market opened with a buoyant tone, and prices are, if anything, a little better than yesterday.

The Directors of the Eastern Bengal Railway Company have issued a circular to the share holders, making th em acquainted with the pre liminary steps already taken, from which it appears that, in order to comply with the arrange ment of the directors of the East India Company before they sanction the guarantee, the board has despatched Mr. Purdon, an engineer recommended by Mr. Brunel, to execute the preliminary surveys. Small parcels of P.Y.C. Tallow have been sold at 53s to 53s 6d per cwt, and South American at 52s 6d to 54s per cwt. Notwithstanding that 9,000 cks have arrived in London, the immense deliveries have caused holders to be very firm, and higher prices have been realised in all positions, the clos ing rates last night were 52s per cwt spot, 51s 6d all the year, and 51s 9d per cwt for the spring. The half week d e li very i s 1,948 cks against 2,191 cks in 1855, and the stock on the 6th instant were 7,963 cks against 26,476 cks last year.

Buyers of Pork have been holding off pending the Government sales, the result at first of which has strengthened the market. Nothing of any import ance has been done in Bacon. Of 800 boxes of Cheese offered by auction in the early part of the week, 500 sold at 51s 6d to 555, and a few choice dairies realised 57s 6cl to 59s per cwt. No sales reported in Lard, and prices nominally unchanged. During the past week our Colonial Produce Markets, notwithstanding the advance in the rate of discount, have been very steady. The enquiry for sugar has been good, and full prices were paid. Sales in coffee to a fair extent have been effected. Both speculators and the trade have operated in Tea ; the market is quiet, but prices are full. For dyewoods there is a moderate demand. In naval s tores the enquiry is steady.

PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING If we can believe Le Nord, the Russian organ at Brussels, the Austrian Government has presented a very amicable but very pressing note to France, praying her not to follow England in making a naval demonstration against Naples. Whether this be true or not, I am not in a condition to state, but I know that General Ginlay, the Austrian Governor of Lombardy, is now in this city, and that it is said that he is charged with some mission, perhaps it is to present the note in question. At all events, we may be certain that the general will not fail to employ all the efforts in his power to induce France to separate from England on the Nea p olitan question. On the other hand, a Vienna despatch, received to-day, announces that, accord ing to the Gazette of that city, not the official journal, the King of Naples has written private letters to Queen Victoria, and the French Em peror, stating that he is willing to participate in the expected Conferences at Paris, in order to communicate an amnesty, and organise reforms he has the intention to accord. If this be true, the Neapolitan question is, of course, at an end ; but it does not appear true. In connection with this everlasting Neapolitan ques tion, I must state that, so far from its being likely that France will leave England in it, she will—in the event of the King not giving way—certainly re call her Ambassador, if she does not send her fleet to Naples. It is worthy of remark, that the semi official Constitutionnel, which was long silent on that country, has lately begun to publish letters, in which it is represented to be in a deplorable state. A Naples despatch, of the 4th, says that the political trials in that city has ended in the con demnation of Mignonna to exile for life, Dangelis to twelve, and Decicco to two years exile. The others accused have been set at liberty. These sentences are lighter than had been expected. I am told that Russia has once again offered to give up the Isle of Serpents provided that she will be allowed to keep B olgrad, but that the Allies insist on having both. There is, it is said, no immediate prospect of an under standing being come to in the matter, and if both sides should persist in their pretensions, un pleasent consequences will ensue. The Government, says the Moniteur, has deter mined on prosecuting with all the rigour of the law the persons guilty of melting down the silver The official journal announces that the Emperor of Morocco has paid an indemnity of 35,000 fr. to the owners of a French merchant ship which had been attacked by the piratas of the Riff, and it says that this is the first time he ever did so. On dit, that the friendship between M. Girardin, the well known editor of the Presse, and the Prince Napoleon, has cooled down very con siderably. What is certain is, that the Emperor and the Prince's family have long desired to see it put an end to, on account of the socialist opinions of that celebrated journalist. The Bourse has again slightly improved to-day. General Benkendorff, the Russian envoy, who is charged to carry an autograph letter from the Czar to the Queen of Spain, and who has been stopping here for some days, has left for Madrid. BRAZILIAN MAIL. (FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.) SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY NIGHT, The Royal Mail Steam-ship Tyne, with the Bra zilian and River Plate mails, has just arrived. She brings 64 passengers, and diamonds and pearls to the value of £30,000, and the under-mentioned dates :—Buenos Ayres, Sept. 3 ; Monte Video, Sept. 4; Rio Janeiro, Sept. 14; Bahia, Sept. 18; Pernambuco, Sept. 20 ; and St. Vincent, Sept. 28. The news from the South American provinces is devoid of interest. At Rio Janeiro the several branches of trade were active. Exchange was quoted at 271 d. The business was limited at declining rates. At Bahia and Pernambuco, there was little doing in produce. Freights to Liverpool were quoted at 30s. per ton. The intelligence from Vincent is of the most heart rending character. Th e c h o l era, i n fif teen days, had carried off 640 souls, out of a population of 1,200. Trade was abarpliined, and the city completely decimated. THE strange indeed Science is rarely prized, until it becomes too complex to he universally understood. And in this way we may account for the extravagant fallacies which pass current all over the world with regard to currency. That mighty Empires should be raised up, and left to exist on the scarcest of all commodities, appears to be a most glaring absurdity. Extracting hundreds of millions of grandeur and prosperity out of the smallest modicum of metallic wealth, is repeating the abortive, though very popular experiment, of getting a quart of stout out of a pint bottle; and it is really very comical to witness the hard squeezing, and wry faces, of the believers in such delusions, when they labour to convince their dupes, that all currency heretics say is trash. The " scarcest metal," and " least fluctuat " ing of all commodities," is now on its trial. The peace, happiness, and existence of a great Empire is staked on the issue of an experiment in which true patriotism, sound practical know• ledge of the first principles of the metallic currency system, and long experience in all the details of banking and movements of circulation, have been brought to bear with an alacrity and disinterestedness never before known, The present peace and future welfare of no less a Power than France is pending on a mighty effort thus ably conducted. That all that has been done, or can be done, will prove futile, may be gathered from the various remedies which our London currency 'quacks are already propounding. The London Times anticipates, and therefore suggests, a suspension of " cash payments," or promises to pay gold on demand. And while our cotemporary admits that large additions must be made to the note circulation, and sees nothing for it but a depreciation of 75 per cent. in the purchasing power of the paper currency, he leaves totally out of sight the propriety of making the paper of the Bank of France legal tender at par in the coaptation of all debts, and receiveable in payment of all the demands of the State. " If a 100 f. note," says the journal in question, " would not purchase more than 50f. of gold, and " the Government, with a view to relieve the " people, were immediately to double the existing " issues, the discovery would then be made that it " would purchase only 25f. of gold, or a still smaller " sum, in proportion as faith might be destroyed "by their increasing recklessness. The national " credit would be entirely extinguished, and at " the same time, as all the Government employes, " the public creditors, proprietors of lands or " houses let on lease, and annuitants of " every kind, would be paid only in this paper, " their starvation would depend simply on the " point to which the depreciation might be limited." This is a monstrously gloomy picture of what France has to expect ; but we cannot understand why a people who want to buy food, to pay rent, and taxes, should barter away their 100 f notes for 25f worth of gold. They have surely had enough of such rampant insanity. They owe their present dangers and prospective miseries, to this very species of folly, coupled with ill-advised reactionary move ments. The masses of the French people have lost all faith in everything but gold, and unless the note issues of the National Bank are enlarged and made legal tender, all the London Times foreshadows, and a great deal more, will most assuredly come to pass. Great scarcity of food may also help :to swell the tide of the people's sufferings, notwithstanding that the EMPEROR has swept the granaries of France of their stores of grain. This is said to have been done for some ill-defined and by no neans intelligible object. It may have been devised for the exclusive benefit of the army, or to give the Government the power of keeping down the price of grain below a famine level. But these are mere expedients which neither time nor experience will ever justify. They amount to nothing when a people are starving or a national crash comes. If the suspension of " cash payments" , must be resorted to, it ought to take place before all the gold in the Bank of - France has been carried away, and the confidence of the public has wholly disappeared. We have repeatedly stated in the columns of the NORTHERN TIMES that, currency and banking on our highly-lauded principle, would test the Emperor NAPOLEON'S power as a ruler, and the sequel of the present crisis will, we fear, convin ce him and his subjects that the difficulties we have to struggle against will strangle France, and over throw the Empire, without the aid of foreign enemies. But can the suicide of one member of the great bullion family occur without dragging th e w holelcircl e w ith h er i nto a p r emature grave? Thi s is a question which must be answered before ma ny days have passed over our heads. We are evi dently apprehensive of the worst consequences; and it remains to be seen whether the means we have adopted for protection will prove as fatal to England as a commercial country, as the move ments going on in Paris will be found among a people whose wrath assumes a political and terrible character when the machinery of state deceives them, or suddenly break s down THE INDIA MAIL.
