DEIVOLF St Co, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1853. JOHN BULL is, unquestionably, a gullible animal. None more so. From Dan to Beersheba his like is not to be found. His philanthropy " extends to all extent" of this habitable globe. Of his cosmopolitanism there exists not a doubt. And as to his benevolence, it is quite as unbounded as it is mis-directed. The North American Indian amid bis interminable forests—the Greenlander buried in eternal snows—and the Hottentot in his kraal, are each and all, the objects of British regard, and the recipients of British charity. The inhabitants of distant lands must fancy our country a very Arcadia—literally " overflowing with milk and honey ; " where national prosperity and domestic happiness prevail, aad where poverty and crime are practically unknown. One can fancy how they must envy our felicity, and con sider us both honoured and favoured by the Gods. The English are never tired of forming schemes and executing plans for the conversion of idolaters to the " true faith of a Christian. " Our Foreign Missionary Societies, for many years, have been in full operation ; and as to the amount of money expended, why it would require a first-rate finan cier, well-skilled in the decimal system, to compute it ! The great rage now-a-days is the proselytism of nations less remote—which we take to be a favour able omen, inasmuch as it indicates a growing disposition on our part.to confine our benevolence and philanthropy within the limits of the British empire ; which, on the principle that "Charity should begin at home," ought to be the case. A. society has for some time been in existence, called the " Evangelical Continental Society of London," the object of which is the Protestantising of France and other Papal countries. On the formation of an auxiliary society in this town, the Rev. BAPTIST NOEL gave a lengthy address upon the " State of Religion on the Continent," a report of which we have already published. The address itself dis appointed us much. Instead of affording sound, practical information on men and manners, Mr. NOEL indulged in a sort of rhapsodical discourse, which savoured too much of the conventicle " twaddle." He literally departed as far from his text as he could well have done with propriety. After repeating the old story about the Roman Church, he informed his auditory that nearly thirty-seven millions of inhabitants had to be con verted to the Protestant faith ; that a country like France, which exercised such an influence, both by its diplomacy and arms, and which was nearer to us than Ireland, should not be overlooked; that two million Bibles had been distributed, and 2,000 Catholics converted ; that, in fine, " though last not least," a sum of £2,500 had to be collected annually to sustain the society's Operations— Protestant Great Britain being naturally looked to for support in such a case. Now, on several grounds, we might justly oppose this " Special Mission to the Roman Catholics" of France. In the first place, according to Mr. NOEL'S own showing, there are Protestant churches of various denominations already existing in that country ; all of which are not only tolerated, but positively supported by the State. Now, if the people of France desire to change their reli gious faith for another, there is no let or hin drance whatever ; and one would think that the numerous Protestant churches already existing would do all that was requisite, and meet every requirement on this score. But no ! Only the favoured apostles, commissioned by the Vatican at Exeter Hall, have the power invested in them to convert the French nation to Evangelisation. Mr. NOEL'S character of the Protestant churches and clergy of that country is anything but flattering. He tells us, that the million-andfa-half of Prole; tants there are incapable of doing the work; that although there are in Paris 25,000 belonging to the reformed faith, they did little or nothing for the cause of religion ; and that they, with the Protestants of Lyons have never yet converted a single Catholic ! He tells us, that the Evangelical denominations there are just at loggerheads as they are here ; and that merely a spurious sort of brotherhood prevailed amongst them, w hi c h naturally enough had led people to say : " I admit that these others are Christians, and therefore, of course, they must be my brethren ; but I think the less I see of them the better—the less I come into contact with these brethren of mine is some how or other the better for me." Then the Evan gelical Continental Society might also be regarded as a Peace organisation—having for its object the abolition of religious strife and the spirit of rivalry amongst professing Christians. And Mr. NOEL mentions an extraordinary instance of the effect brought about by such instrumentality— which rather approaches the story of the La Salette miracle ! The state of religion in France may briefly be summed up in Mr. NOEL'S words. Com menting upon the wisdom of the French, he observes : " They had 40,000 Catholic priests to execrate Protestants, they had established a Pro testant church to execrate the Catholics; and whilst they established Protestants and Catholics to condemn the Jews, they established Jewish Rabbins to condemn the Christians !" So it would appear that the mission of the London Society is to throw oil on the troubled waters of polemical discord in that country ; and convert Catholics, and all, to the faith adopted by the Exeter-hall Committee ! Could not these gentlemen experi mentalise at home, where the good effects of their labours might be more readily seen; and as there is a better and wider field for their exertions? Poor old benevolent Pope ! How the English people laughed at your folly when you, in the abundance of your charity, offered daily prayers for the conversion of this country to Catholicity ! And here we are now going to alienate from their " holy Father," a whole nation, and make them obedient to the religion of the Reformation Have we not turned the laugh fairly against our selves in the height of our phrenetic folly ? But there exists a greater objection still to this scheme. We maintain that our own country has the first and justest claim upon our liberality and philanthropy ; and that whilst such inconceiv able poverty, wretchedness, crime, and practical heathenism, exists everywhere around us, our efforts should be concentrated and combined to improve our home condition, ere we went " there and back again" in search of objects whereupon to exercise our abundant charity. If our Chris tianity be a failure at home, it must be a failure abroad. Why not try its practical effects upon the masses of our own countrymen ere we venture to reclaim foreign lands and people of other faiths, who are far more moral and religious, perhaps, than our own? When we perceive its beneficial influence here, we shall advocate its spread else where. But as longas society is in its present state— while crime and criminals are so numerous —poverty and destitution such as no other nation under Heaven does witness—irreligion so prevalent, al though combined with Christian profession —we say, let us stay at home—work at home—feed the hungry—clothe the naked—redeem the criminal— raise the condition of the masses—give them better houses and purer water and nobler aspirations— make them better citizens—fonder parents —more faithful in their conjugal relations— and let these things be done at home! When we have dethroned crime—exterminated plague—elevated the people— and moralised, if not Christianised, their minds— then, should we lack objects, we may, without fear of reproach, seek them elsewhere—but not till then. 'Tis positively monstrous ! The Chaplain of the Borough Gaol complains that the small sum of £250 only was' granted by the Town Council of Liverpool for the purpose of maintaining our juvenile criminals, after their respective periods of imprisonment terminated in reformatory asylums, where they were likely to be morally benefited— at all events, kept from preying upon society. He states that there are objects enough, if there were funds enough to maintain them; but such not being the case, those unfortunate creatures are turned loose upon the town, to follow with the greater expertness and success, their only caning —plunder !* And yet Mr. NOEL complains that only £5OO had been raised for the purpose of proselytising the people of France, and the subjects of a Catholic Emperor ! If this be not mistaken zeal and misplaced benevolence, we might well ask, what is ? But, " GOD amend us, GOD amend we are much out o' the way." THE Bank of England returns for the week end ing the 19th inst., are even less satisfactory than those for the week immediately preceding them. The contraction of the Bank's circulation con tinues excessive, while a decrease has taken place in its stock of bullion, notwithstanding there is an excess of imports over the exports of gold for the week, amounting to 283,6061. The contraction in the active circulation for the same period amounts to the extravagant sum of 596,5521. This would be a disheartening state of things, if it were not for the fact that the arrivals of bullion continue to be largely in excess of the outward shipments. The imports of gold for the week ending the 19th instant, are as follow : AT A CHARGE OP SIXPE N C E. Offices-19, SOUTH JOHN STREET, LIVERPOOL; 9, PRINCESS STREET, MANCHESTER. SE .

BIRKENHEAD II BOOTLE WOODSIDE i WALT ON T RANMERE EVERT ON ROCK FERRY WATERLOO FAIRFIELD S EAFORTH . • AIGBURTH. TO CORRESPONDENTS. The Daily News of Saturday copies our account of the case of Mr. Mc Curtin, but not very generously refuses to acknowlecge the source whence the information came. The Times has acted in a directly opposite manner : for having availed itself of a portion of our local news on Saturday, the source was indicated, as was just. The Daily Express, a Dublin paper, in its number of Saturday, takes an important article from our pages, and neglects the obviously honest course of pointing out the source of its information. We aro happy to contriblte to the intelligence of our contemporaries, but surely they ought not to grudge us the compensating right of an acknowledgment. "Whatever is intended for insertion must be authenticated by the name and address of the writer; not necessarily for publication, but as a guarantee of his good faith. We cannot undertake to return rejected communications. All communications, Books for Review, etc., to be for warded to the Editor must be addressed to the Publisher, CHARLES WIENER, and those from London may be sent to the care of Messrs. Simpkin, Marshall, and Co. tarttnt THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. annually, and that each takes away £5, the amount thus absorbed would be £1,500,000 annually, or £125,000 per month. And if we allow the amount taken by the gold-workers to be £3,000,000 annu_ ally, or £250,000 per month, the absorption in these two directions would be £375,000 per month ; and if we deduct this amount from the excess of im ports over the amount of bullion received by the bank, there Still remains the sum of £506,127 to be accounted for. Added to this latter sum which we may now fairly assume to be the balance outstanding in the hands of the public, we have an increase in the circulation of the private and joint-stock banks for the month ending the 29th of October, of £369,443, which makes the aggregate amount of money which is not shown in the bank returns no less than £875,570. Our object, however, in thus investigating this subject, is simply to show that there is nothing in the actual monetary condition of the United King dom to justify the high rate of interest demanded for money ; and, at the same time, to direct the attention of the public to the large sums of bullion which do not appear in the banking returns. This we conceive to be our bounden duty at all times, but more particularly at a moment when our best interests are endangered by the prospects of a war in which our worst enemy might be largely subsi dised with British gold. It has long been the great point of excellence among financiers and diplomatists to " make the enemy supply the funds for their own destruction," and it appears that the London journals, at this moment, apprehend that secret shipments of gold to Russia are going on, and to a considerable amount. There is great danger to be apprehended from this source. And we may be able ere long to show that our suspicions were not, altogether, without foundation. That the influx of gold will continue to be large for many years to come is most certain, considering the demand that exists for it here, and the endless supply which Australia and California can send us. The great inducement to ship gold to England at present, is the diffe rence in the actual value of gold between, this country and the two regions we have just named. In Australia, the average - .price of gold, according to the last quotations, was 765. 214. per ounce, and in America 71s. 2td. This leaves a sufficient margin for profit, to lead to heavy shipments of specie or bullion from both countries. In fact, the American bankers begin to find that gold is so fluctuating in value that they are not disposed to extend their credits on so uncertain a basis, and they, therefore, prefer shipping it to this country at a positive profit. Issuing on a commodity which, by one turn of the bullion market weight, might involve the creditor interest to a loss of 10 or 20 per cent. would be most hazardous. A large issue of notes against bullion would have a positive tendency to reduce the value of gold, therefore they are de terred from moving, favourable as the money mar ket is for extensive operations. In France there is a speculative demand for gold, which will speedily work its own care. The gold she takes from this country she is paying exorbitantly for, if we measure the profits of her trade with this country, and the profits of our trade with those countries from which we draw our great bullion supplies. The price France pays for gold must enter into the cost of her productions, and when she comes to exchange her productions with this or any other country, she will find that her gold even at the par of exchange, was too dear a commodity to employ in production. As for the other States of Europe, if we except Russia, the drain that they can effect is too trifling to cause any uneasiness in our bullion market. -. • Looking at all these cogent reasons, we see no cause whatever for any Apprehension of a crisis such as the gentlemen of Threadneedle-street seem to have anticipated, and altogether their returns do show a falling off in their stock of bullion, still our monetary condition is remarkably healthy, and we hope the joint stock and private banks will relax their stringency, and allow legitimate trade to pro gress on more moderate terms for the good of the country at large. SACRILEGE.-St. Augustine's church, Shaw-street, was broken into on Friday night, and a quantity of lead stolen therefrom. SATURDAY NIGHTS' CONCERTS. —On Saturday night the Misses Bennett and Mr. Fairbairn gave one of their popular Scottish musical entertainments in the Concert-hall, Lord Nalson-street. The hall was well filled, and several of the ballads which were sung throughout the evening received an eneore HOUSE ROBBERIES.—On Saturday evening the house of Mr. Jones, Robinson-street, was entered, and a quantity of property stolen. On the same evening the house of Mr. John Griffiths, of Everton Crescent, was entered by breaking a pane of glass in the back window, and a quantity of wearing apparel was stolen. Last night the shop of Mr. Lazarus, clothes-dealer, Tithebarn-street, was entered during the absence of the family, and property to the amount of £l5 was stolen. STREET ACCIDENTS.—On Saturday evening a young wo man, named Mary Ann Green, was, while passing through Park-street, knocked down by a car. She was co nve y e d in a state of insensibility to the Southern Hospital, but upon examination, it was found she had not sustained any serious injuries, and left that institute yesterday. On the same even ing Peter Guy, while passing through Great Crosshall-street, met with an accident from a similar cause, but of a more un fortunate nature, as his leg was so severely fractured as, upon his being removed to the Northern Hospital, to render am putation necessary. ACCIDENTS ON THE LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER RAIL WAY.—On Friday morning we learn that a collision of a slight description took place on the Liverpool and Man chester Railway at the Kenyon Junction. A. train conveying passengers from Manchester to the Newton races was run into by a train from Bolton, but luckily no lives were lost, and the injuries sustained were limited to bruises to a small number of the passengers.—On Saturday afternoon an acci dent occurred on the same line near to the Patricroft station. The particulars have not reached us, but we learn that a train passed over a platelayer who was working on the line, cutting off one of his legs. FIRE IN MANCHESTER.—On Saturday morning, at 1 37 p.m., a police constable arrived at the police yard, Clarence street, Manchester, with information that the brewery of Mr. Jordan, Tipping-street, was on fire. Immediately after wards Mr. Rose, superintendent of the fire brigade, accom panied by an engine and a body of firemen proceeded to the spot, when he found that the roof of the malt-room was in flames. Forthwith a jet was attached to the high-pressure main, the firemen ascended the staircase, entered the room. played upon the flames, and in a few minutes the fire was extinguished. The damage done did not exceed £2O, which is amply covered by insurance. AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH.— On Saturday morning early, a carter named William Howell, in the employment of the Manchester lamp and scavenging committee of the City Council, came to his death in an awfully sudden manner. It appears that the deceased, who was about thirty years of age, and had been married only a fortnight ago, went, as usual, to the police-yard, about four o'clock in the morning of Saturday, and took his breakfast along with some of his comrades. He was talking with the other men, and prepar ing to go out with hi s car t, when all at once he fell down in the stable. He was immediately taken up, removed to the room where the men generally take their breakfast, and a surgeon sent for. In a short time Mr. Blackmore, surgeon, was on the spot, but upon his arrival the unfortunate man was dead. An inquest is to be held upon the body on Mon day (this day). MAILS FOR AUSTRALIA.—GENERAL POST-OFFICE, NO VEMBER, 1853.—The next mails for Australia will be for warded by the Matilda Wattenbach, clipper ship, the owners of which have entered into a contract for that purpose with the postmaster general. This vessel is appointed to be de spatched from Liverpool on the morning of the 4th Decem ber next, and all letters and newsppers for South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales, and Van Diemen's Land, reach ino•b Liverpool previous to he r d eparture, an d not a dd resse d to be sent by any other vessel, will be forwarded by the Matilda Wattenbach. The packet rates of poptage will be chargeable on all letters transmitted by the Matilda Watten bach, but no charge will be made upon newspapers. The mails to be conveyed by this packet will be made up in Lon don on the evening of the 3rd Decemb er , an d at Li verpoo l on the morning of. the 4th December. Those postmasters whose instructions direct them to send their letters to Liver pool by cross post, will of course forward the correspondence intended for these mails in the same manners ACCIDENT AT THE NEW DOCKS.—On Saturday a labourer, named Robert Dudley, employed in making some excavations at the above docks, at the south side of the town, met with a severe accident, by a large quantity of the soil having fallen upon him. He was immediately removed to the Southern Hospital. . . The British and North American royal mail steamship Niagara sailed from the Mersey on Saturday for Halifax and Boston. She carried the usual mails and 107 passengers. STEAM TO CANADA.—The Sarah Sands will leave the river to-day on her first trip to Portland. She takes out a full compliment of passengers, for whom the most ample pro vision has been made. Mr. J. Donald, late superintendent of police, and well known in connection with the Rivington pike question, is said to be likely to succeed Mr. M. M. J. Dowling, as superin tendent of the chain cable testing machine. DEPARTURE OF AUSTRALIAN VESSELS.—On Wednesday last the Hibernia sailed from the Mersey with a large num ber of passengers for Australia. The Electric Flash, and Cypress, have also sailed during the past week, and to-day the steamship Golden Age, with a large number of passen gers, takes her departure. In a letter to the Times, Messrs. Savory and Sons, of Cornhill, mention an ingenious and daring falsification of the coin of the realm. They say :—We have recently had through our hands several sovereigns which have had from ten to sixteen grains of gold taken from the edges, and been then remilled. These coins are, of course, genuine, but re duced in value from is. 7d. to 2s. 7d. each. The only difference in appearance from that which they present when first issued from the mint is, that they are rather less in diameter." THE. LATE SIR JOHN LEMAN.—About the year 1838, a poor weaver of Nottingham, named John Leman, succeeded, after upwards of thirty years' perseverance, in obtaining, by a decree, or judgment, of the High Court of Justiciary of Edinburgh, the title of Sir John Leman, and a large portion 'of the vast Leman estates. Had he lived he would have made good his claims to all the property, including that sit uated in Goodman's-fields, and embracing nearly the whole of the district. In 1838 the writer of this paragraph was standing outside the door of an inn on the Staffordshire side of Hanging Bridge, over the river Dove, near the village of Mayfield, where Moore wrote Lallah Rookh, when a post chaise and four, coming from Ashborne, was driven up. A rough-looking man, of about sixty years old, hailed the land lady from inside the chaise, and gruffly inquired whether the postillions were honest, and could be trusted. He was much excited, evidently from wine or spirits. He was told that the postillions belonged to the Green Man at Ashborne, and were perfectly trustworthy. He appeared very indignant that the one that ought to have ridden the near wheeler should sit upon the box and drive. A man's back so near him gave him great offence, and he said so in language not very polite. He ordered a pint of ale, drank and paid for it, and then desired the men to drive him to Leek, as he was going to Manchester. He paid the postillions handsomely at Leek. Six months after this he died, it was reported, in consequence of constant intemperate indulgence. In his adversity he was a sober, well-behaved man. In his pros perity the reverse. To a person resident at Loughborough, and who had supplied him with funds to prosecute his case, he behaved badly after he had received his property. On his death several claimants appeared, but none succeeded in making good a title. The real Simon Pure remains still to be discovered. INDECENT ASSAULT UPON A FEMALE. —ASSAULT UPON THE POLICE, AND APPREHENSION OF THE OFFENDEas.—Between the hours of one and two o'clock yesterday morning, as a young female, named Cotterhill, was passing near Peter's lane, on an errand for some ale for her master's supper, she was accosted by a fellow named Gilmour, who lives in that locality with his mother, a lodging-house keeper. The fellow first insulted her by using the most unbecoming language, and pulling her about in an indecent manner. She desired him to desist, and threatened to defend herself with the jug she held in her hand if he did not. The threat had not the desired effect, for he immediately attempted to assault her in a most indecent manner, upon which he struck her a blow in the face, the force of which broke her teeth. In the most acute pain she returned home, when information of the assault was given to the police, three of whom repaired to his mother's house, but they had scarcely stated the business upon which they were engaged, when Gilmour, backed by a large party assembled in the house, attacked the officers with pokers, sticks, and every weapon they could find. During the affray two of the officers, John Briscoe and Charles Bradley, were knocked down, and most brutally assaulted by the parties while on the ground. The third officer, being more powerful than his companions, d e f en d e d himself for a short time, during which an inspector, hearing the danger to which the officers were exposed, collected a large body of police and went to the rescue of their companions, and after a sharp but brief struggle succeeded in capturing seven of the offenders. The officers knocked down, received such 1 injuries as to render it necessary that they should be con veyed to the Northern Hospital. The parties apprehended will be brought before the magistrates this day. " A man can't help what is done behind his back," as the loafer said when he was kicked out of doors. The Trieste Zeitung reports from Constantinople that the command at the first battle in Asia was held by General Guyon, formerly a leader of the insurgent Hungarians. Workmen are now busily engaged in the Westminster Abbey in taking a plaster east of the tomb of Mary Queen of Scots, to be placed among the statues of the Crystal Palace at Sydenham. - - A premitim was lately offered by an agricultural society, for the best mode of irrigation, and the latter word, by a mistake of the printer, having been changed to irritation, a farmer sent his wife to claim the prize. A well known alderman at Leicester, being much pressed to accept the civic office, said, " Well,—if I mun, I mun— there's no eternity,"—not meaning to deny the existence of a future state, but simply that he had no alternative. _ . _ One James Miller ha , ;ing announced in the North British _Advertiser, that he would not be answerable for the debts of his wife,—the latter retorted with another advertisement, stating that she had not left him "with the intention of con tracting debt, but solely to avoid being killed by him." ACCIDENT ON BOARD " THE NILE" STEAMER.—Yesterday, as the Dublin and Liverpool Steam Company's ship "The Nile," was entering the dock, a sailor, named John Nether ton, received a severe fracture on the skull from the hawser breaking. He was taken to the Southern Hospital, where he remains in a very sad state. STREET ROW.—Early yesterday morning a row took place amongst some drunken persons in Chadwick-street, and in the scuffle William Graham, alias " Orange Bill the Soldier," received a severe cut in the cheek. The instrument by which the wound was inflicted, penetrated the cheek. Cornelius Pyne, a broker, carrying on business in Dale street, Tradeston, was yesterday brought up before Bailie Gilmour, at • the Southern Police-court, and convicted of failing to enter the purchase of forty fathoms of rope in his book. The rope had been stolen from a ship in the harbour. He was fined in 405., or thirty days imprisonment.—N. B. . . . SILVER IN FRANCE.—The Bank of France has resolved to adopt the plan, recently stated to be in contemplation, of making all their payments in gold, instead of allowing their silver to be drained from them for exportation. THE APPROACHING BREvta.—We are about to have a new brevet, and the occasion remindsa London contemporary of noticing the injustice done to Col. Peyronnet Thompson, who, being at the head of the list of his rank at the pro motion, was passed over, and his juniors put above him. This ought not to occur again. _ _ _ TURKISH LOAN.—The roan of £280,000, announced yes terday as having been made to the Sultan of Turkey by Messrs. Baltazzi and Co., is understood to be little more than a renewal of advances which that firm have been in the habit of making on the security of the Egyptian tribute.—Times. A HIGH PRICE PTCTURE.—At the recent sale of Earl Ducie's pictures, a Mulready, " The Interior of a Barber's Shop," bought by his lordship for 70 guineas, realised £7BO. Swansea has recently been the scene of two horrible occurrences. A man has lately died there of hydrophobia ; and a child was sadly mutilated by a rat. A NEW CLASS OF VOTERS.—From a return presented to parliament the last day of last session, we learn that the number of individual male depositors in savings' banks in England and Wales was, in May last, 135,933 of £3O and upwards, and 77,621 of £5O and upwards. If, therefore, we adopt the smaller sum as our figure, and allow for minors and for those already on the register in virtue of other quali fications, it is probable that we should add nearly 100,000 voters to our present number—an addition of one-tenth.--- " TV. R. G." in the Chronicle. INGENIOUS TRICK.—A woman has lately. visited the sub urban districts, on the south side of the city, selling butter made up in bowls of albs. It looks nice and white. It is sold so low as 10d. per lb., a sufficient inducement at this season to buy. She insists that the buyer weighs it, and having done so, the latter finds there is good weight ; how ever, proceeding to eat it, it tastes cold and watery, so that on proceeding to squeeze the butter it literally turns out to .be two-thirds water. The best remains to be told. One gentle man who bought some, and immediately after proceeded to cut it up for use, found it most ingeniously inlaid with layers of " ice," thus making up the weight and accounting for its being cold and firm, and which circumstance did not betray itself until exposed to heat.—Dublin Paper, ANOTHER BRUTE OF A HUSBAND.—A barber, in Dale street, Tradeston, named C. Gardner, was yesterday charged at the Southern Police-court with having, on Thursday last, been drunk, and assaulted, knocked down, and otherwise abused Margaret, his wife, in his own house. The witnesses proved that the wife was a quiet, decent, industrious woman, and that Gardner was in the habit of " going on the fuddle," as they termed it, and when in that state his conduct to his poor wife was of the most brutal and cruel description. On the occasion of the last assault, she was covered with bruises, and one of her eyes nearly closed. Bailie Gilmour said that assaults similar to that committed by the prisoner had become so frequent in England that the legislature found it absolutely necessary to increase the punishment to six months' imprisonment with hard labour, and that this act should have been extended to Scotland, for this species of crime was so much on the increase that nothing but the terror of a long imprisonment with hard labour would deter such dastardly wretches from tyrannising over the unfortu nate creatures who have had the misfortune to be allied to them. In every such case he would go as far as the law permitted him, and he sentenced Gardner to be imprisoned for sixty days' with hard labour.—.Y. B. Mail. Ma h f MONETARY AND COMMEIiCIAP.

How then, we repeat, can the weekly returns of the Bank of England be taken as an index to the monetary or commercial operations of the country. The returns of the Bank's position if taken alone, are enough to cause the utmost un easiness in the public mind ; but, when coupled with the movements of bullion in our market, they exhibit a degree of national prosperity which is most encouraging, and to show the actual change that has taken place in the Banking and Monetary condition of the country, we have prepared the fol lowing statement : Increase in Bullion held by the Bank of England for four weeks, ending Nov. 19. . . £548,673 Excess of Imports of Gold over amount received by Bank of England for four weeks, ending Nov. 19. . . 881,127 £1,429,800 Here, then, we find the increase in our bullion power in one month is equal to £1,429,800, and that out of this sum a little more than one-third appears to be accounted for in the bank returns. Hence we naturally ask : where has the large amount of £881,127 gone ? In answer to this inquiry, we are told that emigration and an increased demand among gold and silver workers will account for a large absorption of the precious metals. With regard to emigration, every one is aware that at least two-thirds of the emigrants sailing from Great Britain are poor Irish people, who are taken away by foreign drafts or money sent home from other countries by their friends; and that the money so sent is immediately paid to some shipping agent, and by the latter to his banker, where it at once becomes traceable in cur ordinary banking returns. Let us, however, assume for a moment, that 300,000 emigrants leave this country *The Chaplain of the Preston House of Correction, estimates the loss caused to the public by 15 pickpockets, whose career he had traced, including the value of the property stolen, expenses of prosecution, and maintenance in gaol, at L 26,6004
