but only as a precaution, it is still more clear
that there is no fresh or special demand for
exchange•medium. In that case all that hap-
pens is as follows : the merchant gives his
security; the Bank advances money thereon,
which the merchant places as a " Deposit," to
be drawn out if he should need it, in the
Bank's care. The result is that the Bank has
as much circulating medium at command as
ever, only having undertaken to advance a cer-
tain sum to the depositor on demand in return
for the security it holds. What did stand as
the Bank's capital now stands as a deposit,
but is still at the Bank's disposal. Should it
be drawn out, however, by the depositor, we
have seen that it does not add to the circula-
tion of the country, but either goes abroad as
bullion or returns through other hands to the
deposits again.
A crisis of this kind, then, does not cause or
tend to cause any demand or need for the
expansion of the circulating medium; but it
may cause, or tend to cause, a fear of its undue
contraction. Until the rate of discount is so
high that it is more profitable to export any
other kind of capital than gold, the demand
for gold for export may and will seriously
diminish the bullion in the coffers of the Bank.
This was the case in the present crisis. Gold
went to America every week, and the bullion
reserve in the Bank diminished rapidly. Now,
as the ordinary note circulation needed for the
country's trade over and above the coin and
country issues is at least 20,000,0001. at this
time of year, and as the Act of 1844 requires
all issues of notes above the 14,500,0001. issued
on Government securities to be backed by
bullion in the vaults of the Bank, it is obvious
that as soon as this bullion rtserve dwindles to
near 6,000,000/ there must be a general dread
that the note circulation may need to be con-
tracted considerably within 20,000,0001—h0w
much within no one can know. It was, therefore,
a ,read of the extraordinary contraction of the
note-circulation within the sum needed for
the regular exchanges of internal trade—not,
as is falsely assumed, any need for its ex-
traordinary expansion at such a time—that
caused a panic.
The need of circulating medium at these
crises does not increase—in deed, if it change
at all, the depression of business contracts it.
But the dwindling of the bullion reserve
threatens a.sudden and forcible contraction of
the ordinary circulation, incompliance with the
Act. If, fur instance, the bullion should ever
quite disappear at any time, the country would
have to effect exchanges with 14,500,0001. for
which it really needs 20,000,0001. ; and it is the
fear of this shock. not the imaginary need for
a" great circulation of bank-notes," that causes
panic as the bullion decreases.

THE CHURCH AND THE CONSERVATIVE

PARTY.
TO THE EDITOR OF " THE PRESS."
Sir,—l read some weeks ago with very consider-
able interest your remarks upon the present relative
position of the Church and the Conservative party ;
and I have waited with no less anxiety to see whether
any Churchman would respond in any way to your
vety pertinent and excellent observations. But, as I
have hitherto waited in vain, I have thought that, as
one deeply interested in the subject, T would just say
that I perfectly agree with you that the Conservative
party is the only party to which the Church can look
for her best support and protection ulider present
circumstances ; and, also, that it only requires a
little wisdom and prudenee on the part of the Con •
servatives to secure to themselves all the support
which the Church can afford to them. And that
support, I will add, is not under present cirettm•
stances to be despised or neglected by them ; for it
is my conviction that if roused to a healthy state of
activity and earnestness the Church, in conjunction
with the Conservative party, could carry everything
her own way. The great loss to both has been the
pandering of Conservatives to Liberalism, and the
consequent distrust of the Church in the Conserva-
tive party, and her casting about to see who would
take up her cause in earnestness and sincerity. I
cannot, of course, enter into particulars, especially
with regard to the past, but only to refer to the recent
Divorce Act and the Burial Acts. What are the
latter but a series of studied injuries and insults and
annoyances to the clergy—anti what is the Divorce
Act but an act for divorcing of the Church from the
State ? And, as you have already shown, if the
Coronation Oath be not snfficient to protect th 3
liberties, and immunities of the Church, to
what are we to tly for that protection which the
Crown has hitherto failed to award us, but to what is
exiled the Conservative party? But where was the Con-
servative party on the passing of the Divorce Act in
the I louse of Lords, when two or three votes would
have thrown that iniquitous act to the winds? Will the
Conservative party now unite and exert their power and
influence for the repeal of that abominable act ?
IL' they do, so unanimous are the clergy in condemn-
-1.4 it, that the Conservatives would obtain a vast
accession of solid and lasting strength by opposing
it with that pluck with which O'Connell, for instance,
would have opposed anything which he believed to be
detrimental to the Popish community and interests.
To whom, indeed, are the clergy indebted for the
more powerful opposition to the Divorce Act but to
Mr. Gladstone and his small band of good Church.

board when the political tempest rises to any
dangerous height. On the present occasion
the part is clearly reserved for the Company,
whose unpopularity and position generally so
eminently fit them for performing it with
effect. This, no doubt, is the secret of the
ambigua votes which the Ministerial organs
have lately been casting among us. The Com-
pany are doomed, but, like the human sacri-
fices among savages, they are to be fed and
petted till the day of their destruction shall
arrive.

Wo know not how far the Legislature and
public of Great Britain may be content to
tolerate trifling of this kind amid the perils
that surround us. We know not how far they
may be disposed to continue to place trust in
a Government which has clearly no fixed
notion on any subject, and is disposed to
leave the future entirely to chance. If its own
future were alone concerned, we should have
no objection to its doing so ; for nothing can
be more damaging to its character for states-
manship than the exhibition of such vacilla-
tion and uncertainty as this. No one, indeed,
in his senses can suppose that any satisfactory
issue can be arrived at as regards the destinies
of either England or India by a set of men
who evidently do not know their own minds
for two consecutive days together, and whose
whole scheme of policy consists in making the
most the events will admit of that in the
chapter of accidents may turn up. Who have
never comprehended the crisis—who have
shown themselves incapable of comprehending
it—and who would longjsince have brought
ruin on us but for the superhuman efforts of
our commanders in India, whom they neither
appointed in the outset nor have aided since; but
it is not the fate of the Ministers that trouble
us—it4is the fate of the country ; and every day
does it become more and more imperilled
while it remains in the hands of such men as
these. These are times iu which it is not
sufficient for a Premier to be able to shuffle
the cards with sufficient dexterity to blind the
public till too late to the consequences of his
acts. It is a policy of publicity, and not of
reticence, that we require. It is only by
coming boldly and openly before Parliament,
and explaining frankly to it his views, that the
Premier will escape the suspicion of being a
charlatan, whose silence arises not from
caution, but from utter ignorance of the
question with which he has to deaL
That such is the true solution of it is
clear from the fact that Mr. VERNON SMITH is
his Indian Minister ; aril that of all the
ignorant talk that has been put forth from the
beginning on the subject of India nothing
has ever equalled in ignorance and absurdity
the speeches of Mr. VERNON SMITH.

THE DECEASED WIFE'S SISTER'S CASE, " Brook Y.
Brook," was adjudged yesterday by Mr. Justice
Cresswell and the Vice Chancellor. The learned
judges decided that the parties being British subjects
the second marriage of Mr.i Brook with his wife's
sister was illegal, and by consequence the child ille-
gitimate.

A NEST OF YOUNG THIEVES was discovered by the
police a day or two since in the main sewer of the
new street leading out of Farringdon-street. A boy
was sent in, and he found a number of boys assem-
bled at the upper part of the sewer of Benjamin-
street. They had cooking utensils and a quantity of
straw and hay to lie on. They were ordered up to
the number of tw aty, from twelve to fifteen years
of age, all know.. to the I,olice. It appears that a.
toll of a halfpeus.y was demanded of each boy on his
entrance.

THE NUISANCE OF A PRINITNO MACHINE NEXT
Doou was brought before the notice of Lord Camp-
bell last Saturday, in an action " Whitmore v.
Ingram and another." The plaintiff was the lessee
of a public house called the Three Horse Shoes,
in Milford-lane, Strand, and the defendants were
the proprietors of the Illustrated London News. A
narrow lane divided the premises of the two parties,
and when the printing machines of the defendants
were in operation the plaintiff said he was annoyed
by a continual beating and thumping, and by the
volumes of smoke and steam which filled the street.
On a suggestion of Lord Campbell an umpire was
nominated to decide whether the printing business
could be carried on so as to create no nuisance, and
if he found that it could not, it was arranged that he
should fix the sum which the defendants ought to
pay for purchasing the property. A verdict on this
understanding was entered for the plaintiff, with 40s.
damages.

undertaken—it will be utterly impossible for
the Conservative party to feel any sense of
security ; their political power and their
social influence will be menaced: and the Con-
servatives, now forewarned, should be fore-
armed, and should not make the same
error in domestic politics which certain offi-
cial wiseacres, after full notice, have committed
on Indian affairs.

Enormous delusions prevail about some
portions of the subject of Parliamentary
Reform, and it is in the highest degree neces-
sary that the public mind of the country, and
that the adherents of the Conservatives, should
be thoroughly familiarised with the knowledge
appertaining to this ever-recurrent question of
" Reform."

there was no demonstration whatever. Baron Rich•
thofen, the Prussian Commissioner, and the Che-
valier de Benzi, the Sardinian Commissioner, are the
most popular after the French Commissioner. Safet
Effendi and M. von Liehmann, the Austrian, are
generally esteemed, but the dislike entertained for
their Governments is to a certain extent reflected
upon them. Sir Henry Bulwer and the Russian,
M. Basily, are living enigmas for the Wallachians.
The first is cold and impenetrable beyond expres-
sion ; the second affects so much reserve, and keeps
so much in the background, that his intentions are
generally mistrusted."
A letter from Bulgaria in the Cologne Gazette
states that the Prussian and Turkish members of

have left for Widdin, in order to make surveys and
plans on which will be based the project for regu-
larising the course of the Danube. The Prussian
Commissioner has expressed his opinion that the
works for preventing the river from undermining the
fortifications of Widdin may be accomplished at a
very trifling expense. It is in contemplation to
convert Widdin into a fortified place of the first rank,
on a plan proposed by Omer Pacha in 1853.

THE Goon PEOPLE OF BATH made general holiday
of Wednesday on the occasion of the two Russian
guns presented to the city by Lord Panmure being
deposited in the Royal Victoria Park. Besides the
ceremony connected with the guns, there was a grand
flower show iu the afternoon at Sydney-gardens, a
ball in the evening at the Guildhall, and perfor-
mances at the theatre, in addition to which the
Foresters, Odd Fellows, and other bodies had displays,
and fetes, and galas on their own account. The
Royal Victoria Park is partly private, partly public
property. The resting-place of the guns has been
fixed in the latter portion of the park on each side of
the obelisk erected in honour of her Majesty. The
town council of Newark, on receiving their Russian
gun from Lord Panmure, objected to defray the cost
of mounting. The trophy has been placed on one of
the terraces in the Castle bath-grounds, which are
not open to the public except on payment.
THE HARVEST HOMES held in Norfolk and Berßk
have been very successful. At Buxton, near Norwich,
last week, the harvest-home was celebrated first with
a solemn church service, the bishop of the diocese
preaching; after which a feast was given by the
N icar to his 500 parishioners ; and the day closed
with games and athletic sports. At Uffington, in
Berks, a similar festival took place ; while the 2•23
Redhill Reformatory boys last week celebrated the
close of their harvest work by pines and a pod
dinner.

THE PRESS, SEPTEMBER 12, 1857.

The above are the only classes eligible for relief
under the Royal Commission, which limits the ap-
plication of the fund to the widows and orphans of
the soldiers, seamen, and marines whose deaths
are attributable to their service in the war against
Russia.

There are still new cases coming on in consequence
of men dying from wounds or from disease un-
doubtedly contracted in the Crimea.
The present rate of expenditure is nearly 80,000/.
per annum.

SOME DISGRACEFUL RIOTS occurred last Sunday
in Belfast. It appears that disturbances, arising
from the hatred of a Romanist faction in the town
to Protestant out-door preaching on Sundays, have
been frequent of date. Last Saturday the following
placard was posted over the town :
Down with open-air preaching. Down with fanatic
Drew, the divine ; the enemy of tranquillity and
peace. Gather to the Custom-house on Sunday, 6th inst.,
at three o'clock, and give the Orange bigot such a check
that he will not attempt opeu air preaching again. Catho
lies of Belfast, Down, and Antrim !
On Sunday numbers of the Roman Catholic rabble
assembled at the Custom-house steps, where a ser-
mon was to be delivered by the Rev. 3. Hanna. The
rev. gentleman, in the face of the danger of the
proceeding, boldly delivered his sermon, and at its
conclusion recommended his hearers to disperse
quietly. Their moving away was, of course, the
signal for an immediate onslaught. Stones and
brickbats were pelted at them, and bludgeons freely
used. The row became general, the mayor and
magistrates in vain endeavoured to stop it, the Riot
Act was read, the troops called out, and at length the
mob were fired into and dispersed at the point of
the bayonet. Many persons were seriously wounded,
and the town during the night was in a state of great
excitement. Several of the ringleaders were arrested,
and an official inquiry is now pending.
THE EARL OF MOUNTCASHELL has just disposed
of the Island of Amherst, near Kingston, in Upper
Canada, to his relative, Major Perceval Maxwell, for
a sum little short of 60,000/. This sale, it is added,
" will materially alter the state of his lordship's

affairs."
THE HoN. MAJOR KNOX, member for the borough
of Dungannon, being about to join his regiment, now
on its way to India, has issued a spirited address to
his constituents, appealing to them for their sanction
of the step taken. This gallant officer, on the
breaking out of the Russian war, freely obtained tiliNt
leave of absence from his constituents which there
is no doubt will be as readily given now.

THE STRENGTH OF THE TROOPS now assembled at
the Camp of Chalon amounts to 21,250 men and
5,1.460 horses, divided as follows :—lnfantry light
regiments, 11,000; cavalry, six regiments, 4,500;
six batteries of horse, and six of foot artillery,
2,000 ; two companies of engineers, 200 ; and one
squadron of the waggon train, 550. If to the above
be added the detachments of gendarmerie, pompiers,
administrative services, szc., the total number assem-
bled will amount to about 23,000 mu and 6400 Q
homes.

Poor Dr. Mawe's fate and poor Mrs. M.'s sufferings have
been sad indeed. She is now safe at Major Ellis's house
at Nagode. The 12th mutinied at Nougaon, and all had
to fly. They were trying to make their way to Sanger.
Villagers rose, and they were attacked by a large body of
Daeoits. Took to their horses. There were three females.
The party was hunted from village to village. Poor M.,
who had been ill at Nougaon, was at last fairly done for—
his horse shied, he and his wife fell off, and were left to
die. Poor— wrote a heartrending account two days ago
of Mrs. M. She is now safe at Nagode and her child--
little Lotty. Poor M. died soon after the fall. Poor J.
crept away and sat in a tomb to hide herself; villagers
found her, robbed her of her guard ring, and dragged her
into the village.
Two miles off, the Nawab of Banda, hearing of a lady in
distress, sent an elephant and guard for her, and when she
reached Bands she had the happiness of finding Lotty safe
with Captain Scott and some of the other officers; this
was a ray of comfort for her, poor soul, but she writes as if
she was distraught, and is, poor thing, daily expecting a
premature confinement. My heart bleeds for her. Yester-
day Mrs. H. made up a large package of clothes for Lotty
and herself ; we put in all we thought would be useful and
sent it off. There are only two ladies left in Nagode.
Every one is flying to Calcutta. Major E. heard of Sir H.
Lawrence's death; a terrible report that Sir H. Wheeler
died in garrison, basely murdered. Major Wiggens we
suppose gone. Mrs. W.'s name is mentioned as being
killed again. Poor Mrs. Wiggens we bear died from sick-
ness ; also it is said the Nana Sahib has kept upwards of
100 hostages.

PERSIA.

Accounts from Teheran to the 6th of August have
reached Constantinople, reporting the non.evacuation
up to that time of Herat; but a later despatch front
Constantinople, via 'Vienna, states that on the sth
instant information reached Constantinople that the
Persians had detinitively evacuated Herat. A force
of 5,431 men, with 12 guns, occupies Bushire, under
the command of General Jacob. The Persian Go-
vernment has named a resident governor at Bushire.
The Sadir Azam continues in the ascendant, and
matters are pretty much in the same unsatisfactory
state as formerly reported. Mr. Grenville Murray,
employed at the British Embassy in Persia, was to
leave Trebizonde for Teheran on the Ist of Sep-
tember, accompanied by Mr. Abbott, Consul-General
at Tabriz, named, on the part of Great Britain, com-
missioner to inquire into and liquidate claims of
British subjects in Persia. Colonei Taylor, who has
been appointed British Commissioner at Herat, was
to leave Teheran about the middle of August. The
Persian Government, though professing entire friend-
ship, had not yet appointed its commissioners.

THE PRISS, JUL! 25,1857.•

—and the means proposed for attaining those
objects.
Mr. EVANS seconded the motion.
Sir J. TROLLOPE opposed the motion. He had, he
said, numerous objections to the bill, which involved
a very large principle. It entirely ignored the
Charity Commission, and created a new and expen-
sive Government Board. He moved to deter the
second reading for three months.
Mr. MASSEY, on the part of the Government, like-
wise urged various objections to the measure, in
particular the expensive and complicated machinery
it proposed.
The amendment was agreed to ; the bill is there-
fore lost.

Sir Erskine Perry's Married Women Bill was
ordered to be referred to a select committee.
On the motion of Mr. MAGUIRE, the order for the
second reading of the Tenant Right (Ireland) Bill,
which had been introduced by the late member for
Mayo, was discharged.
The house then went into committee upon the new
clauses of the Burial Acts Amendment Bill.

A clause proposed by Mr. MASSEY, in order to
remedy an alleged grievance arising from the refusal
of bishops to consecrate burial grounds which pro
vided that in any burial-ground certified by the
Secretary of State it shall be lawful for the incum-
bent of the parish or his curate to bury prior to its
consecration, underwent a very long discussion, the
second reading of the clause being carried upon a
division by 108 to 09.

The remaining clauses were gone through.
The SPEAKER announced that the Clare election
petition would not be proceeded with.

COUNTY CONSTABLES.

Mr. MASSEY, on behalf of Sir G. Grey, obtained
leave to bring in a bill to amend the law concerning
detached parts of counties, so far as respects the
establishment of county constables.

WEYMOUTH ELECTION.
Mr. EOERTON brought up the report from this
election committee, confirming the return of Mr.
Campbell and Col. Freestun, the sitting members.
The house then adjourned at five minutes to
six o'clock.

THE BENGAL ARMY.

A CORRESPONDENCE between Sir William Gomm,
formerly Commander-in• Chief in India, and Lord
Melville relative to the discipline of the Bengal
army , hes been published in the daily papers. Sir
William complains of some imputations on the army
made by Lord Melville in the House of Lords last
week, and says :
The Bengal army was, I maintain, in a perfectly healthy
state of discipline when I surrendered the command, imme-
diately preceding the peaceful occupation and annexation
of Oude. To what cause, to what fatality, this strange
outbreak is owing—by what misunderstanding these
miserable men have been led into such a course of wild
excess—l do not pretend to divine.
Lord Melville replies :

Sir Charles Napier's expression in 1849, when several
regiments mutinied, two of the number being those at
Itawul Pindee under Sir Colin Campbell, and which in
some degree concerned me, that we were sitting on a mine
which nobody could tell when it might explode, has only
come too true. Sir Edward Paget's opinion, given thirty
years ago, has only proved how true an estimate he formed
of the morale of the Bengal native army. I entirely repo•
diate all intention, and most distinctly all inclination, to
cast any reflections on you while administering a system
bad in itself, and which you could only struggle by every
means in your power to strengthen and uphold.

[The extracts from Sir Charles Napier's memoirs
printed elsewhere, form a curious comment upon Sir
W. Gomm's notion of " a perfectly healthy state of
discipline."]

EUROPEAN OFFICERS AND SEPOYS.

Experience tells us that young men naturally are glad
to avoid the details of • company which they do not
understand and see shifted about from one to another.
The native officer is ready to take those letails in hi;
hands, and this recent desertion is a decided result, the
like of which will on a larger scale again happen. The
European officer is loved by the sepoy, for he his honour•
able and just generally ; he is the man to lead him in
battle, and therefore the man to keep him in discipline—he
is capable of making the Indian army march t u Moscow,
but he must have fair play. Courage, zeal, ability, and a
white face lie has; but he must also have experience,
which can only be given by keeping hint with his reaiment,
not by giving charge of two companies to an ensign who
was the month before in vulgar fractions at Addiscombe.
That youth may lead them in a storm, but he cannot cam.
mend them in a battle ; much less in ti gay cantonment with
women, balls, and races • saying nothing of beer, which I
dare not now speak of. I have in some remarks on mili•
tary law, and their new article of war sent to me for my
opinion, told them all this. I said give ten captains, it
not give five, but call them grand division captains, and
let them have the divisions, that the sepoy may have a
captain to look up to, and be protected by a man who has
taught him to be a soldier—not by a bey whom he has
taught. My opinion will be disregarded and I will give no
more, but the present system will have a bad result some
fine day as sure as God made Moses; and the Court of
Directors will sell the grandest empire the world ever saw.
to give large salaries to civil servants and refuse captains
for sepoya—this is their economy.
