attempts at financieeing, a hae, it seems, during the brief I
space he has been in office, made a discovery, the import-
ance of which will surely not be undetratei by the over.
burdened taxpayers of the country. I allude to the right

in the House of Commons, that he had become convinced
that millions per annum might be saved by a really econo-

Hear it, ye Aberdeen., y.e Grahams, ye Russells, ye Cob-

less than a Chancellor of the Exchequer that millions per
annum may be saved to this tax-burdened land by a go-

silver pound. Gradually, however, by successive
Sovereigns the weight of the silver put into the coins
was diminished, while the name of the weight
was preserved, till the pound dwindled from 5,400,000
grains to 1,743,454 grains. To conform to that cor-
ruption of the silver standard an ounce of gold is'
i now coined, not into four quarters of ounces. but into
four equal pieces, each of which weighs the extraor-
dinary quantity of 123,271 grains of standard gold.
It is impossible to conceive bow such an absurd di-
vision ever came into use—or received the sane-
lion of an enlightened people--without tracing back
the history of successive corruptions; and then
the conviction flashes on us that our present
system embodies and consecrates many frauds.
Instiad of getting rid of them, and returning to
simplicity and truth, we pertinaciously adhere to
them as the standard or measure of our transac-
tions. We anticipate no evil from an influx of gold
which will compel us to regulate our money rather
by natural than artificial rules. Our coinage,
like most of the other things taken in hand by
the government, is extremely imperfect, fashioned on
no system fairly carried out, and only bearable
from the plastic principle of human nature, which
accommodates for a season to systems it is in the end
destined to overturn. A CITIZEN.

to be presumed, being to strengthen his employers

been prepared to convey his Excellency to Holy-
head, and it is understood that the Countess ofl
Eglinton will accompany his Excellency.

Rev. David Seymour, in the county of Ordway, hoe

They have treated the matter either as a pure fabri-

with land, and is besides greatly respected and

In the storm of Tuesday night, the following dis-
asters took place on this coast :—Tho brig Fidelity,
of Dublin, on her passage from Trion, for this port,
coal laden, was driven ashore at Clogher Head, ten
miles north of Drogheda, on the Louth coast. All
hands were safe, but, from the last account received,
there was little doubt entertained of the vessel be-
coming a wreck. The Bridget, of Liverpool, from
the Brozils, with a general cargo, and bound for the
former port, while off Holyhead, encountered the
sole, which raged V. ith such violence at the time as
, to oblige her to make for this port, where she went
ashore near the Pigcon-house, but is likely to suffer
no damage before being got off. The captain and
crew all well. The Kent, from Malaga, with a
cargo of fruit, while running in here lost her cablo
and anchor in tho bay, and had her headsails split,
but fortunately escaped with little other damage,
and is now lying in the Custom-house Docks. No
injury to the captain or crew.

SPAIN.

The Madrid Gazette of the 17th publishes a royal
decree, annulling the prosecution which had been
commenced against the Ileraldo, for publishing the
address to the electors of the electoral committee of
the moderate party. Tho Ileraldo mentions a report
that M. Pio de la Sots, the fiscal of the press, has
either resigned or been dismissed, and a Madrid
letter of the 17th informs us that the chief of the
police of Madrid, under whose authorisation the pro-
aecution had been instituted, has also been removed
from his office. The Mario Espanol, which has
shown some hostility to the new government, was
seized on the 16th, and a fine of 600 reale was in-
flicted. In its number of the 17th, the .Diario says
it shall abstain from any further comments upon the
new ministers until their policy shall be more clearly
defined. The Espana announces that the govern-
ment had refused permission to the electors of the
ProAressist party to hold a public meeting. The
Madrid Gazette announces the approaching payment
of the dividends on the Three per Cents.

M. His de Butenval delivered his new credentials
as French ambassador to the King of Sardinia, on
the 15th.
In its sitting of the lith, the Senate of Turin con-
tinued the discussion on the Civil Marriage Bill.
M. Roberto d'Azeglio said that he had voted in 1850
for the abolition of ecclesiastical privileges, because
he considered it constitutional to do so ; but that the
present bill was contrary to the constitution, since
matrimony was a purely religious concern; conse-
quently, he must tote against the bill. The Minis-
ter of Justice, and other orators, supported the bill,
but no new arguments of any importance were
brought to bear upon the question. The discussion
was adjourned to the follovnag day.
The Risoryinunste announces that M. Scialoja, who,
after having been so long imprisoned at Naples, ha;
had his punishment lately commuted into perpetual
exile from the kingdom of the Two Sicilia', and is
now in Turin, has obtained letters of naturalisation

GERMANY.

The Berlin papers contain extensive reports of the
movements of the Emperor of Austria during hie
visit to that capital. A few commonplace and
barely intelligible sentences, addressed to the officers
of the garrison on Sunday morning, are treated by
the Berlin papers as importune in the present posture
of European Weirs. Tho Emperor said, " I am
glad to meet here so many representatives of the
Prussian army, which I yesterday had the pleasure
of inspecting. The army of your noble King has
preserved its fidelity under circumstances of great
1 difficulty; but it is this spirit of faithfulness and

honour which constitutes the bond of every brave
army. It is this feeling which binds my army to
that of Prussia, and, therefore, I am able to expreee
to you my conviction, that, whatever may be babre
us, both bodies will stand fast by each other iu the
brotherhood of arms."
In the course of the same morning the Emperor
visited the Cadet School, and there met Baron lta-
dowitz, whom some of his enemies falsely said hod
been sent out of the way during the imperial visit.
On the previous day the Emperor had given an au.
dience of half an hour to M. Manteuffel.
The convention between Belgium and the Zollve.
rein, which was to expire this day, the 2lth instant,
Les been provisionally rtnewetl, on account of the
unsettled position of Zuilverein affairs.
The Vienna Lloyd states that the King of Prussia
has promised to return the Emperor's visit at
Vienna. M. von der Ptbrilten's health is ro.
established, and it is now improbable that he will
leave the Bavarian ministry.

I take the opportunity merely to drop two words to let
you know that we have had fair sailing till within four
days. With one exception, all has gene on well. On the
13th of August, when crossing the Bay of Biscay, the ship
took fire shout 2 o'clock in the morning. You can never
imagine such a seene, when the cry wee Ship on tire !
All Fiends on deck!" with men, women, and children all
naked and crying. It arose from spontaneous combustion
amongst oilskin clothes foolishly put into the hold. You
will not be astonished when I tell you that I carried the
first bucketful of water for putting it out.--tilasyolo Con-

TO TEN EDITOR 01 !NI DIJLT IfirWl.

Bra,—ierisapeilitis season, when mr valuable
pages are not overwhelmed with part tary de-
bales, I may be permitted to obtrude a subject upon
them that appears to me to deserve attention. It
has been treated of before in a number of the Edin-
burgh .Revinv, under the head of " Militia," but is
not so likely to attract general notice there as in
your columns. I mean, ar, the propriety of embody-
ing the fishermen and others on our extensive cant
as a corps of marine militia, who would always be on
the spot, in mere or len numbers, wherever invasion
might be attempted on our coasts. And that they
are mast anxious themselves to be occupied in sash
a remain. during the winter months, a ramble
round our ohms has enabled me to know, while
their immense numbers (as the reviewer observes)
will be such as to make them formidable at almost
any poiat. Nor should we be lulled into indifference
by the speeches of Louis Napoleon, while we recollect
his frequent boasts in England that be would both
be Emperor of Freese and conqueror of Great Britain,
far sash was his destiny.. Nay, hrther, do we not
bear of war otos= being launched at Cherbourg
ar acme other Frew& part almost every month; and
have we not reads boast that one of them le capable
of resetting several thousand men, and to navigate
the Mediterranean (as a French lake), or the British
Channel in cam of need P

Drs. Carril and Lahitte have been declared duly
elected as the two representatives for the province of
Buenos Ayres, a choice which, the Packet says, can-
not fail to inspire confidence throughout the repub-
lic. Don Angel Elia and Dr. Diego Alvear have
also been elected for the province of Itioja.
A notice from the ministry of foreign relations
appears in the Proreuo of Aug. 12, enforcing the
necessity of all ship rapers being endorsed by the

that after six months from the date of the present
notice, Aug. 13th, no vessel will be admitted with-
out that formality.
Encouraged by the return of confidence the govern-
ment and private individuals are venturing on can-
ons liberal measures for improving the general
moral and social condition of the Republic, but
chiefly of Buenos Ayres. The university chair of
political economy is to be at once filled up by con-
court. The construction of docks is under &sew
Moo. A " liquor law " has also been promulgated
for Buenos Ayres, restricting the existing facilities
for drunkenness; 'metal reform is promised ; a new
exchange is likely to arise ; and, lastly, a weal
periodical is established entitled " La Confederroa

that may concern the national organisation.

tie was convicted at the last session at Clerkenwell of
stealing a large number of portemont.aies, the property of
Christopher Knuth.
The Assistant Judge said the inquiries ho had caused to
be made since the prnoner wits convicted satisfied him that
the prisoner was the sort of character he suspected him to
be on the trial ; that ho was in the habit of betraying par-
ties with whom he associated to commit crime to tho police
or to Sergeant Quinnear, with whoa* statement made on
the trial be (the Assistant Judge) was not at all satisfied,
although Quinnear came to the court to speak of the
prisoner in the way he did, his name was actually cn the
back of the bill sea witness to prove a former conviction—
, in fact, he knew that he had been twice before eons icted,
and had had sentences of 12 months and sin months passed
upon him. The sentence of the court on the prisoner was,
that he be transported beyond the seas for 10 veers.
A per.on named Millie,. said he was the individual
whom Quinnear had stated on the trial might easily be
mistaken for the prisoner, and as the publication of that
statement in the newspapers had done him an injury, he
had attended the court in artier that it might be seen what
ground there was for ouch a statement, and that it could
not have been an unintent.onal mistake.

The witness then stool in the witnam-box, and a com-
parison was made between bum and the prisoner.
The Andatent-Indge said it was impossible for any one,
especially • sergeant of police, to mistake the one for the
other, sad he was very glad![allies had attended in the
