In connection with, these cases,,we may observt that the murderer - Of Mr. Little is still at largek no twithstanding -the many rumours which hav4 been afloat during the last few days.

Viewing the. matter in its phases,''We are constrained to belieye that the foul assassin of Mr. Little has either contrived to flee the country', -or after a short reflection of the enormity of .his- offence, and the certainty of ulti mate detection, has coward like committed suicide, and thus denriVed the' gallows of its prey.

Under :these circumstances, angther, legal move must.be made in this unseemly ecclesiastical strife, a strife that is without doubt damaging'the Church more and more, estranging its members from her communion, and adding numbers of pious and cr t. r well disposed Churchmen to the ranks of the Dissenting portion of the communit3t. That interminable object of litigation—the Royal BritiSh Bank,. was before the Lords' Justices of Appeal, and the London thinkrtiptcy Court, yes terday, At the latter the directors were present, and surrendered and received their protection. ' Before the Lords' Justices, the question of setting aside the authority and power of the court of Bank ruptcy in the matter, was again argued, but without any judgment being delivered thereon. Whilst . the. affairs of the Royal British Bank were before the courts alluded to, the " Great Northern Frauds" occupied the time and attention 6f the policy --magistrate, of Marlborough-Street, London. Redpath and Kent were both in attendance, anal fresh charges, were ..proved against them, but another remand took - place: Among the popular agitations of the 'day is one for the purpose of prccuring zi-revision of the Bible. A meeting has just been held in- St. Martin's Hall, - Londoil, for that purnese, when Mr. Black, latuAssistant Keeper of the Public Records, and Honorary Librarian of the Anglo Biblical Institute addressed the meeting. The question is a knotty one, and particularly when.. such a diversity of opinion exists as to the correct and literal rendering of the original . , language, from which ~the Scriptures are translated. Many •of the disputes respecting Scriptural trans lations are instigated more by metaphysical subtleties,' and the pedantic dispftir'of supposed learning, than genuine erudition, and an earnest desire to procure and possess a truly accurate transciipt of the Bible in, our native dialect. Mr. Richard Cobden is busying himself just now, in calling attention to the necessity of laying down some intelligible and consistent principle for the regulation of our intercourse with other nations. Et is • Mr, cpbrlen's opinion that some restraint on our ..,diplomacy- is necessary thinks it - Wonld - riot bri - diffienit to 'find a corrimen - groriiid - on Which a large amount of argument for a reform of our foreign policy might be secured among men of every shade of opinion on domestic politics, and he conceives that even an attempt to define the func tions of our Government to our foreign relations, would be a more promising occupation than the interminable and fruitless task of investigating' acts which are generally shrouded in mystery, and which aro tonoften referable to ito higher princi ples or motives of action than the caprices of prac tically irresponsible individualS.

Europe, and the aristo oral's of his natlve kind.• • • • - The local incidents of the day are few and unilw portant. We report at length the proceedings in the Police and County Courts A variety of general news will be -found in to day's paper, whilst from abroad the reader will find much to interest and instruct. From the United States we learn that speculation continued as rife as ever as to the composition of the Cabinet of the new President. The indications of a rupture between the North and South were becoming more and more apparent, and itrequired no political sage to guess that Mr. Buchanan had before him during his tenure of office amost difficult gape to : play. Nevertheless, lfis friends and supporters had 41111 confidence in his patriotisrpolital, sagacity, and diplomatic skill. 'AS usual, - fires and disasters by sea and land are recorded in the papers brought by the Baltic. President Pierce had prepared his Message, and the citizens of the Union were pant ing with anxiety to learn his sentiments upon the great questions of the day; whilst " our own Cor respondents" of the New York press. at Washing ton were speculating; as to ,what Gen. Pierce would say upon thia and that topic; With respect to the Sicilian insurrection"we have received the following telegraphic despatch. It is dated Paris, Friday evening:- " The Sicilian-out break declared itself on the 22nd ult., in several places of the 3it-ovinces of Palarmo. Government has sent two baualions of rifles, mounted rifles, and artillery, under the command of General Guchtan. On arriving before Cafala, they surrounded the town and took possession of it. At Catania placards were fixed to the walls, but the police immediately pulled them down. These placards were as fol lows Long live the hereditary Prince=long live the Constitution of 1812.7 The commencement" of an insurrection has, likewise, broken out in the Island of Marsala." $ , With regard to the approaching Congress,. the Paris Constitutionnet announces that it is to decide the interpretation of the various points of the. treaty of the 31st March now contested. This conference, it states, will be composed' of the Secondary pleni potentiaries to the late Congress,or, in other words, of the diplomatic representatives of the great powers accredited to the Court of the TuilerieS; its - sittings; it adds, will, moreover,: be ef, short duration. , But the Constitutioonel,pyolieeds'Nkiler, and avers that a preliminary aceOrd hils"not - been established be tween the powers, and that each one maintains its particular views of the existing difficulties " This fact," it says. " explains the opportune cha racter of the new conferences. Were the various opinions united, there would be no necessity for deliberating; a meeting of plenipotentiaries would be superfluous. Logic would therefore indicate that different opinions may be manifested in the new sittings of the congress ; but either the accord will be established by mutual concessions, as we hope, or by the result of a vote and of a majority. In either case a satisfactory solution is without,a d 0414. The object of the conference is therefore to interpret Cer:, taro contested po i ipts of ,the ,Treaty, of Paris, and to enforce its speedy execution.__ The diffieulties once solved, the reotives Ivhich have lli s therto been the cause of the 'Oectrpation' of the ptevinces and of the waters of Turkey will ,disappear I English and Austrian forces will tit Atteq.

Thursday, has al- ready had a:very beneficial influence' on trade., There is more Confidence in --dommercial circles, and the sudden diSappea:rkicide of 'the severe 'frost. .• will bring relief to the industrious :poor, .whose situation was becoming most critical. For the first of these happy ohanges we are indebted, Ave are inclined to think, to' the timely expression' of certain monetary views by a majority of , the Cabinet, as thdre is nothing whatever in the actual condition of the Bank of England, or in the aspect of political affairs" to justify, a slid- , den departure from the cautious line of action which, we are told, the Bank Directors were imperatively required to pursue. The bullion returns only amounted,' according to last week's return, to 9,897,606/., which considerably less than the aggregat e of precious metals the Bank held in November, 1847. At that period, the' reserve of gold amounted to 10,017,0001., and prudence seems then to have suggested a 7 per cent. discount. This 10,017,0001. exhibited, an increase, however, of 1,705,0001. over the returns of the 25th of December in the same year, when base political heartlessness recommended an 8 per cent. minimum rate of interest. The remarkably rapid return of bullion here shown followed the reduction of the Bank's rate from Sto 7 per cent. There was nothing in the internal condition or external prospects of the country to produce so startling a change iP..the Bank's affairs. On the contrary, famine was then at its height. The whole of the Continent was known to be on the eve of a revolt. Still the rates of interest were lowered. In December, '47, the minimum discount was fixed at 5 per cent., the previous reduction to 7 per cent. having increased the stock of gold to 12,230,000/. within a month. Then came the European outburst of 1848. The memorable events of that year were enough to have shaken the confidence and demol ished the mercantile stability of our entire Em pire. But the Bank pursued a wise and liberal course. They went on reducing their rates for accommodation from 5 until it reached 3 per cent., in November of that year of universal / turmoil. The p►actical effect of this rational course is peculiarly instructive, and ought never to be lost sight of by the business public in sea sons of social revulsions or political commotion. The Bank's rates were no- sooner lowered to 31 per cent. than the bullion reserve reached 14,169,0001, This was in June, 1847. In the following November the discount was again re duced to 3 per cent., at which rate it was con tinned to November, 1848, when we had no less than 16,30,000/. to carry the country through the alarming dangers which were still imminent. Had the Bank yielded to the crying of the lovers of Bear - accounts at that most critical epoch, what would have been the inevitable re sult ? Fortunately they followed up their cheap money policy up to June, 1852, when we find 22,232,000/. of gold in theircoffers. The minimum rate was then 2 per cent. But they suddenly raised it in January, 1853, to 2} per cent., and they continued in their dear-money career up to September in the same year, when we find the rate advanced to 5 per cent., and the reserve of bullion reduced, by the public alarm produced by the Bank's stringency, to 15,613,0001. only ! Now we have gone thus minutely into this his tory of dear and cheap money, in order to show the actual effect which the two courses had, not so much on the general interests of the country as they had on the movements of bulli'On itself. Every particle of experience we can bring to bear on the subject proves most irrefragably that the dearness of money frightens, as it were, the gold out of the Bank's vaults. And hence arises the question—How is this vast Empire to be secured the inc,alcula.blebenclits of cheap money ? The gqld we possess is the. money of the com merce—the floating capital of trade. It is required day by day to adjust the balances of foreign transactions, which must always be heavily against a people, who, like our selves, import vastly more than they ex port. We are always in debt, owing to our short supply of food, raiment, and raw material of various kinds, to the full amount of gold we possess. Our merchants must sustain their credit and integrity. They are discharging their highest and most sacred of all national duties when they are supplying the community with the indis pensable necessaries of life; and to take from them the only means they have to work with for fiscal purposes, or to give a colouring of truth to the joint-stock fable of—"I promised to pay" gold on demand, is a piece of State folly and Whig blindness, which must, ere long, exhaust the patience of a commercial people. A' State ceases to be a State when it cannot' supply its own wants, without taking to itself the money which its subjects owe to the people of ,other countries; and a: Government ceases to be just, when they suffer usury to be super-added to taxation, and the cost of feeding and clothing a people where no corresponding advantage can be shown. These would be harsh axioms to employ, if those who guide the destinies of this great com mercial country, were not fully aware of the bane ful workings of the system they administer ; but our Chancellors of the Exchequer know full well, what an advance of 2 or 3 per cent in the rates of discount adds to taxation. The bank directors have told them, without reserve, that the make Money scarce and dear to produce " a fall genere.lly; iii the prices' of all commodities. They;l9Ovv that demanding taxes in gold (i fo - reigiii)roduct) is the worst of all phases of despotism. It would be futile to tell them, when the,:mOichant cOnipelled'td send his gold abroad ,to meet a natural deinad n : for bulbullion that a direCt je~;islstide.irfteiferenEe' with thd . •free current df trade takc:Siiiace,44e rates Ofs4iscount are raised, , and:.thaf thd. diapiOsso'.: , motley which ensues, causes' lionezt . uidiiitrk be thrown out of einplOyin.enc and half': starved. Every half educated - statesman knows that the scarcity of money dates from the tame surrender of the CrOwn's high Prerogative Of deciding what shall lie the legaltender of the nation,' its value in cir culation, and, the rate of interest it shall bear, in `discharging',the functions ,of a•riational currency. .The day has!gOric:*;we trust; for hood w i n ki ng a il y l assuredly break 80,000,0001 o f the people on these all -im p ortant to p ics. taxation N on r i r bu u l p li o o n n. e , earth can_ m : p ' ' doWn' 'Under the 'pressure of 70,000,000/.

If the sceptical want to know whit the result of these experiments in other countries would be, let them look simply to the practical, the matter of fact operation of the bullion laws of England. The theory preached by their advocates is fascinating enough, but the end of 1- CT ri; T_T T PC.l* f iT f i r I/1 • r 4 L. 4 Ir - a Ti y - T, . all we see or hear is usury panics in trade, wholesale bankruptcy, aggravated suffering from the want of emplOymerit;the steady' growth of pauperism, and increase of crime. All this is proved by comparing the vapouring we find in the monetary and commercial articles of the London newspapers, with the facts recorded in the other portions of their columns. Those, at a distance, who look systematically into our interiors in this way, must think us the most wonderfully in%en tive people in the world. Our contradictions are so palpable, our philosophy so incomprehenSible, and our gullibility so stupendous, that it ii almost impossible for them to ktiow what to believe. But, it is to be hoped that the Bank, 0 ngland 411: vefurn, with as'-little delay Possible, to the course which they adopted in the height of the crisis of 1847, and continue to rely On fair, and even low, commercial rates of dis- MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.

THE Town Council love music. They de delight in it as part and parcel of religion. It Makes religion " palatable," according to Alder man "There was a softening effect "in music. It prepared its hearers - 'to receive' religious instruction," exclaimed Mr. Alder man DOVER. Mr. HOLME contented himself with recommending - a choir for the chapel of the newt. Hpuse_of Correction- Re undertook to introduce the small point of the wedge. £2O a-year is certainly not much in itself to cavil, at ; but these trifleS assume very extraordin - ari dimensions in a few monthsafter they have_ been once sanctioned. We should like, of all things, to hear that the hearts of Our local criminals had "been softened by the sounds of Sacred music, or by any other means which human ingenuity could devise ; but While many numerous and highly respectable - congregations outside prison walls are left to supply them selves_with music for their places of worship, We think with Mr. J. It. JEFFERY that it is En' onstrous to use the money of t the Ratepayers for any such purpose as that proposed by Mr. 11°131E. Mr, SHELL also took:a 'very:correct view `o£ the propciSaLf'flrThere Was," said Mr. SIIEIL; " no such gratification offered at the public " expense within the walls of a . workhonse, and " he objected to .their giVing to:erime what they " denied to poverty." This style - of reasoning : i goes for nothing, however, with . the prodigal. side of the. Council Chamber. _-They can do as !they like with the Ratepayers' substance. Mr. SAMUEL HOLME, and those who vote with him, set al\ Liverpool at. defiance. They have the law on their side,' and until it is repealed, they may laugh at the people whose money, they are squandering. They have taken 201. out of the, Borough Fund for what may in truth be called " criminal .purpOSes." Next year they will take 401. Then will Cglllea r e commendation for the appointment of an organist, and then for the erection of an organ'. Three years hence the incipient 201. grant will have grown to 1501. per annum. The soil on which the seed has been dropped is prolific enough to admit of a - far larger] mtio of - -increase. But - will - the - Ratepayers—the respectable portion of the com munity who are responsible for all these doings — never rouse themselves, .and shake offthi j s of spendthrifts. - The Council, it is quite evident , only meet now: to propose jobs and 'appropriate the public's money. Administrative bodies, it is true, must have a great deal to do with supplying the wants of the locality entrusted to their care— many things to consider and recommend to their constituents; but here; we have a CorporatiOn composed of "a ."majority_: who have no constitu ents, and these are T the men—our Aldermen—who dO as iheY please with the fend raised froM rates, to a great extent. This is the glaring anomaly for which we have to find a remedy, and ihi; will be --- done before the present Reform agitation ceases. We must use the same pitchfork to get them out, that has been employed to get them 'into the Council The Municipal Reform Act has left the ,bacic door open for them, and the Burgesses must call on the• justice of Parliament to close that' door, and without delay: Granting - away - money, advancing salaries, and projecting monster 'jobs of every imaginable description, -must' be put a stop-to ; and it can be done, if it is only taken up in a determined spirit, and with ordinary tact. The approap . hingi_ session .must not be lost. - The e bircrpoot Municipal Reform Bill, if confined to the one single'Object.of freeing the borough of a majority of non-elected tax makers, cannot, we repeat, be resisted with any chance of success in the House of Commons, and no—time-should-be suffered to be thrown away in getting it ready for presentation. There are plenty of able and sincere Municipal Reformers who will take charge of such a measure, and weA may fairly hope to - see the , - present jobbery and corruption put down by straightforward Constitutional means. , , I PANKRUPT:S._ HENRY GEORGE DEARLOVE, Palace Row, New .road, timber merchant.
