PUBLIC MONIES (PAYMENTS).

MR. ANDERSON states that in 1831, when the
Exchequer Commissioners sat, the public
payments were conducted in a number of
offices. He enumerates no fewer than ten;
and he observes, truly, that the amount of the
balances or unemployed monies, where the
Paymasters were so numerous, was necessarily
very largo, and the risk consequently greater,
and the control less.

One of the consequences of the Exchequer
Report of 1831, though not one of the recom-
mendations, was tho consolidation of the
offices of these Paymasters. This consolida.
tion began in 1835. The credit of it belongs
principally to the late Sir HENRY PARNELL.
It required the interposition of Parliament,
and the first measure was the Act 5 and 6
Wm. IV. ch. 35, for consolidating the offices of
Paymaster-General of the Forces, Treasurer of
Chelsea Hospital, and Treasurer of the Ord-
nance. By this net the office of Paymaster-
General was created and the Treasury given
power to prescribe rules and regulations for
its conduct.

The reform then commenced was carried on,
and in 184 k it may be said to have been com-
pleted, so far (as consolidation goes, when, by
the Act 11 and 12 Vic., eh. 55, the offices of
Paymaster of Exchequer Bills and Paymaster
of Civil Services were united with that of Pay-
master-General. Mr. ANDERSON estimates the
saving to the public since 1836 to have been
half a million in salaries alone. There is also,
he says, great additional security to the public
money, great additional facilities are afforded
to the public for conducting their business,
and improved modes of transacting it have
been established.

It ought to be understood that under the
present system all public monies are lodged
in the Bank of England. Lord NIONTEAGLE
states :

am very happy to say that neither money goes into the
Exchequer as money, nor is money paid out as money. The
whole is done by account, by orders upon the Bank for
credits in England and transfers in Ireland, made to
department of payment. There is no such thing as the
payment, or receipt, or the issue of a single farthing, in
money, from the Exchequer.
Those, therefore, who receive the revenue
lodge the money they receive to the credit of
the Exchequer or other department in the
Bank of England. Subsequently, until paid
out in cash to the proper parties, the Bank of
England has the safe keeping of all public
monies; and the shiftings and changes
which we are about to describe are only in
account.

There are four accounts in the Bank of
England belonging to the Pay-office-1. The
Exchequer credit account; 2. The cash ac-
count ; 3. The drawing account ; 4. The bill
account. The two former of these are supply

FRIDAY EVENING.
THE return of the Bank of England for the week ending
the 13th inst. shows the following changes compared with
that for the week preceding :

Decrease in Circulation ....
Increase in Public Deposits
Decrease in Other Deposits
Decrease in Securities
Increase in Bullion
Increase in Rest
Increase in Reserve

X 541,141
429,916
254,371

206,328

698,658

Bullion iii Both Departments .... 10,892,529
Circulation, including Bank Post
Bills ..

The facts shown in this comparison show a position of
growing strength itt the Bank, which, combined with the
general prospects of the Money Market, indicate that we
may congratulate ourselves upon the crisis of the last
three months having been surmounted. The addition to
the Bullion brings that item up to a safe but still relatively
moderate amount, while the reserve of notes is increasing
in a much larger proportion. The payments on account
of revenue have of course assisted in diminishing the cir•
eulat'.on, and the diminution in the amount of securities
has had the like effect, but we have heard no complaints of
the want of bank notes, and it must be remembered that
the dispersion of the dividends will shortly remedy what.
ever temporary inconvenience may have been felt in this
xespeet. The Public Deposits are 13"000/.—an amount
that at this period must place the Chancellor of the Er
chequer at his ease with regard to the January dividends.
We stated in our last that the Bank return, previous to
the one now published, encouraged the hope of money
being a little cheaper before the end of the year. The

POSTSCRIPT.

The Oesterreichische Correspondenz has advices
from Constantinople of the 12th instant, which
aunounce the departure on that day of Hali Bey,
Redschid Pacha's son, for Paris, via Marseilles, with
instructions respecting the Conference.

A letter for Teheran of Nov. 8 confirms the fact of
the fall of Herat.

Accounts from Constantinople of the 16th inst.
makes no mention of any conflict at Soujouk-liale.
A loan is talked of to the amount of 300,000,000 f.

The glide andithe Assenzblie Nationale are antago.
nistic in their opinions respecting the late article in
the Moniteur upon the Neufchatel question—the
former expressing deep regret at the publication of
such an offensive document ; and the latter great
delight, because it is clear, firm, and energetic, and
calculated to put an end to the demagogical policy of
the Cabinet to whom the note is addressed.

A letter from St. Petersburg mentions the death
of General Cheremetieff, Minister of the Domains,
from a second attack of apoplexy, as also that of
Count Strogonoff, a veteran Russian diplomatist, who
died at a very advanced age.

The Emperor of the French, according to letters
from Naples, has congratulated the King on his
escape. As official relations no longer exist between
the two Governments, the Emperor sent his message
of congratulation by an indirect means, viz., by the
agency of the Consul• General of France. Count
d'Hatzfeldt, Prussian Minister, and charged women•
tartly with Neapolitan interests at Paris, subsequently
conveyed to Naples, not alone the per.onal felieita
tions of the Emperor, but those of the French Go-
vernment. King Ferdinand replied immediately to
these manifestations of sympathy ; and the King's
letter is said to have already arrived in Paris.

A Berlin letter in the Paris Patric says :

Prince Frederick William is charged to invite the
Emperor Napole,,ii to pay a visit to the C'onrt of Berlin
nest spring, and it is said that his Majesty has accepted
the invitation.

A letter from Coblentz of the 113th, in the Carla-
ruhe Gazette, says :
Although there have been yet no warlike preparations,
properly so called, on the part of Prussia against Switzer-
land, there are symptoms which show that it is intended
to have recourse to military measures. In the arsenals of
the Rhine supplies of ammunition are being actively pre.
pared.

EDUCATION PROSPECTS.

WHETHER anything will be really " done " by
Parliament in the next session► on " Educa-
tion," seems doubtful. The subject in many
quarters is discussed anxiously, and there is
a strong contrast between the eagerness of
some interests, and the apathy of others.
That there will be able and eloquent debating on
it may be assumed; and there has been in the
course of the last few weeks much writing put
forward on the whole subject.
We think it necessary to caution the friends
of education against the fallacy of appealing to
Ireland on this most important subject. The
difficulty which they have to solve is to
provide a system that will work well for
England. The social and political circum-
stances of Ireland are entirely different from
those existing in our long-settled society; and
it must be remembered, in candour, that the
" National Education System " of Ireland does
not receive the support of the Established
Church in that country. The Times, in the
course of the current week, has printed at
full length the late pastoral address of Arch-
bishop CULLEN, and that prelate boasts that
though the " National System" is theoretically
a " united " one, yet that in working the
schools are virtually under the control of the
priests in the south of Ireland, where the
Roman Catholics predominate, and of the
Presbyterians in the north.
Although Archbishop CULLEN uses this fact
for the purpose of drawing from it an exagge-
rated inference, yet we must be on our guard
against supposing that, because a joint system
was established in Ireland in 1831, it is
similarly easy to carry one out in England.
The sudden and prodigious growth of the
towns in the north of England, and the
enormous numbers of the Dissenters of various
denominations, their commercial wealth, along
with their electoral influence, constitute the
great difficulties of the case. These diffi-
culties must be considered from au English
point of view, and references to the case of
Ireland will, we fear, give little help in ap-
proximating to a positive system on this great
subject.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

Lucia di Lammermoor was produced here on Thurs-
day for the first time this season : we wish it had
come sooner. The cast is so well known that we
will not fatigue our readers by much comment upon
the performers. Mlle. Piccolomini, though scarcely
equal to the part of Lucia. is so painstaking, so con-
scientious (musically speaking), and—within the
limits of her capabilities—so truthful and finished,
that we gladly blind ourselves to some little imper-
fections which a comparison of her Lucia with that
of other and greater artists must undeniably dis-
close. " Regnava nel silenzio (act i. scene 4),
"Ardon gl'incensi " (act iii. scene 3), and the solo
parts of the following scene, were perhaps never
better rendered by any one. Signor Giuglini ex•
seeded ail his former performances as Edgardo, and,
whether in solo or concerted parts, was always every-
thing that could be wished. With reference to the
two delicious airs, " Fra poco a me" and " Tn cbe a
Dio," his singing could not be. surpassed. We re-
joice to observe in this justly popular artist a very
decided improvement in histrionic ability. He has
evidently taken much pains to this end, and his suc-
cessful exertions deserve commendation. The duet,
" Vetvanno a te," was exquisitely sung by him and
Mlle. Piccolomini. At the close of the last scene he
was saluted with a shower of bouquets and wreaths
(satin ribbons, and all, as taken off the heads of some
fair admirers) that required him to return three
times to carry them away. We cannot concur in the
taste which thus invades a privilege that has always
been considered specially to belong to the gentler
sex. Signor Belletti, as Enrico, and Signor Vialetti,
as Raimond, were open to nothing but the most
favourable criticism. The " Crttda funesta " of the
former was worthy of this artist's high merit. Signor
Mercurialt, as Arturo, afforded, as usual, more pain
than pleasure. We would desire to avoid anything
like ill-natured remarks ; but in duty to, and on
behalf of, the public, we must express the hope that.
this gentleman's engagement at Her Majesty's
Theatre will terminate with the present season. If
we are to have three Operas again next season, he
may find a more suitable position at Drury-lane
Theatre.

CRYSTAL. PALACE.—Yesterday there was another
monster concert. This time Mr. Benedict was the
conductor, and the chorus was composed principally
of the members of the Vocal Association. The per.
formers, who numbered something over a thousand,
were placed in the great Handel orchestra ; and the
audience entirely filled the centre transept and the
surrounding galleries, and even overflowed into the
nave. The vocalists were Mme. Gassier, Miss Pyne,

went into committee on the Government of India
Bill.

Clause 7, appointing the Council, underwent con•
siderable discussion. Lord BROUGHTON moved that
it should be rejected, wishing to get rid of the
Council ; but the amendment was ultimately with-
drawn.

On clause 11, Lord ELLENI3OII.,UGII proposed an

following changes compared with that for the week
preceding :
Increase in Circulation
Decrease in Public Deposits 4,889,898
Increase in Other Deposits
Decrease in Government Securities 89,487
Decrease in Other Securities 805;254
Decrease in Bullion
Increase in Rest 87,807
Decrease in Reserve

Bullion in both Departments .. 16,898,668
Circulation, including Bank Post
Bills
The present return is not very satisfactory. It is, indeed,
the most unfavourable, in all essential respects, of any that
has appeared for many weeks in respect to the Bullion and
the Reserve. The additional amount of coin put into cir-
culation by harvest operations, by country bankers increas-
ing their reserves to meet the various settlements of the
half-year, and by the dispersion of the dividends, imper-
fectly explain the large falling off in the Bullion. It is to
a greater extent due to the still unsatisfied demand for gold
from the Continent. The decline in the nese •ve is a:so
important, as it has occurred simultaneously with a large
decrease in the Private Securities by repayments of
advances made daring the shutting. The Notes have now

THE STATE OF THE THAMES.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved for
leave to bring in a bill to alter and amend the
Metropolis Local Management Act (1855), and to
extend the powers of the Metropolitan Board of
Works for the purification of the Thames and the
main drainage of the metropolis. After adverting
shortly to the state of the river, he proceeded to
consider whether the inconvenience was local or
national, and to be meshy national or local resources.
The Government, he said, were of opinion that the
inconvenience was a local one, and that means must
be devised to remedy it out of local measures. The
question, then, was whether the Metropolitan
Hoard of Works should not be placed in a position
that would render that body equal to the occasion,
and invested with a power sufficient for the purpose.
The expenditure necessary for cleansing and clearing
the river and for completing the main drainage
of the metropolis would be of very large amount,
not less than 3,000,0001. Her Majesty's Govern-
ment proposed to make the Metropolitan Board
of Works a real corporation, and to put it in posses-
sion of an income not of a transient character
for such a period of time as would enable it to
effect the purpose in view. They propo-ed that a
special rate should be imposed upon the inhabitants
of the metropolis for the purpose of purifying the
river and completing the main drainage, and con-
fined to that object. As to the amount and the
duration of the rate, the objects would be to raise a
sufficient fund for this great work (not less than
3,000,0001.), and that it should be continued for such
a period that at its termination a sinking fund, to be
in simultaneous action, should suffice to extinguish
the whole sum to be raised. The Gcvernrnent were
informed that a rate of not more than 3d. in the
Pound for forty years would be sufficient to com-
plete Vie whole of the main drainage, and to supply
a sinking-fund to liquidate the debt. To bring about
this result application had been made to the Govern-
ment for assistance, and, in his opinion, the applica •
lion was one of a legitimate character. The Govern-
ment, therefore, proposed to guarantee the principal
and interest of? the sum which the Metropolitan
Board of Works would raise—namely, 3,000,0001.,
at an interest not exceeding four per cent., upon
conditions that would place the 140,0001. a year
under the control of the Treasury, whica would take
care that provision was made for maintaining the
‘inking•fund. With regard to the construction of
the works, the Government were of opinion that the
i.sorks in
.a..isest course was to leave the Metropolitan Board of
possession of perfect freedom as regarded
tills object, by repealing the existing restrictions,
giving the board adequate means of fulfilling
he duties. It was calculated that the expenditure

THE PUNJAUB.

Thirteen commissioned and non-commissioned native
officers of the 4th Native Infantry were blown away from
guns at Jullundur on the Ist of 'lime by sentence of a
military court. On the 2nd of June some mutineers
Grossed the Esvee and, being joined by the Poorbeeah
labourers on the canal, plundered the bazaar at Madho-
pore, burnt a European clerk, killed his wife and child,
and wounded two other children. They were beaten off,
and while recrossing the river a few were killed and a
number drowned; 250 of these men have since been
united by the Maharajah of Cashmere.

GWALIOR.

The force under Brigadier Showers, from Agra, ac-
co:npanied by his Highness Scindia, had arrived at
Dholepore on the 12th of June, and would join the

The brigadier from Jhansi would also concentrate at that
point by the 17th of June, and a combined movement
would then be made against Gwalior. Her Highness

With the view of securing the north-eastern frontier of

spatched from Bombay by rail and bullock train to Mhow,
and two more companies of Highlanders and some Artillery
will follow. A company of European Infantry is posted at

London, England, 1858-07-17

TRULY there is nothing new under the sun, and
everything that passes over the stage of to-day
has its type somewhere in the history of the past.
Fashion may alter the dress or mode of present-
ment, but nothing is essentially new ; and we
do not know but that the ingenious Mr. Chucks
may after all have been right in his theory of
recurrence of events and existences in cycles.
The Cadmus of Heathendom was but a type, and
it is exhibited now in the nineteenth century in-
differently well by our contemporary the Times
newspaper—the main difference between the two
being that the first Cadmus sowed his dragon's
teeth in innocence of intention and in ignorance
of the nature of the coming fruit; while the se-
cond Cadmus broadcasts his with the hope in his
heart and the conviction in his mind that a crop
will come up at the least as disastrous and as
destructive as that of his great forerunner. Fleets
in the narrow seas that flow between France and
England, and armies on the shores that are
washed by them, and the men who compose
them, filled with irritation, with hostile traditions,
and revived hatreds of race, raging to tear each
other to pieces—that is the crop which the Times
hopes may be the result of its labours.
The Royal visit to Cherbourg, which every
Christian in either country hopes may add to the
security of peace, is the occasion which the Times
seizes upon for sowing the seeds of dissension, and
for blowing the trumpet of war. There may be
some among our readers who have shrunk from
the ponderous look of the series of articles which
have been published lately, and who do not care
to take the trouble to look back. To those we
can venture to give an assurance that they will
find the pith of them in the speeches in which
the Tipstaff delivered his opinions in Gow-
SMITH'S Good-natured Man. " What's raised
" the bread twopence a loaf? The parly •vous.
" What's sent the meat up three-halfpence
" a pound ? Why, the parly-vou.s that eat it !
" What makes beer threepence-halfpenny a
" pot ? Why, the parly-vows that drink it up."
Those were the sentiments of the Tip-
staff. They arc the sentiments equally of the
Leading Journal to-day; only the latter
expands into long and imposing-looking articles
what the Sheriff's Officer uttered all in
a breath in the drinking of the pot of beer,
of which the lamentable increase of price was
firmly connected in his mind with our tra-
ditional enemies. Statesmen are assured that the
Emperor is introducing French officers into all
the kingdoms bordering on India with a view to
the invasion of our empire in the East ; the popu-
lation of our coasts are warned to sleep well
armed and with revolvers under their pillows, for
no man can tell at what hour Cherbourg may not

CHINA.

The latest news from China is comparatively un-
important. The following is the most interesting
announcement:—

Mouth of the Peiho April 29th, Shanghai
17th, and Hong Kong 22nd of May.
The allied fleet, consisting of nineteen vessels of war,
was at anchor eleven miles from the mouth of the Peiho,
and 140 from Pekin. The vessels were separated by a
mud bank from the Chinese forts which guard the mouth
of the river, and which mount about eighty guns. The
