NO. BENNOCH TO 311. COBDEN.

78, Wood-eticet, Monday, Dec. 20, 1847--Dear Sir,—l
have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your note of
the 18th, and, according to your desire, beg to enclose you
our propositions, condensed u much so possible I regret
to find you are obliged to be absent from town so soon and
so long, though I gather from your 12,t, and from a previous,
note, that you would rath,r avoid a conference-1 trust I
misinterpret your language. The Anti-Corn-law League,
by applying to a hungry man's stomach, and by the use of
a terse epithet, could express its object in a few words, and
win sosvarts. The Asti Gold-law League can only ap-
peal to reason, and by a chain of argument convince its
auditory. It not only proposes the destruction of a
bad system, but the construction of a better ; there-
fore more space is necessary to explain its principles. There
is one observation in your letter to which I must shortly
refer. Alluding to a statement iu my former note, expressing
our desire for " free trade in gold," you observe, I con-
sider the export and import of gold already free ;" from
which I infer your opinion, that exc'usion from import and
export duties constitutes the only freedom necessary is regu-
late the sale of commodities. The Anti-Gold-law League,
on the contrary, conceive that so long as the Bank of
England is by act of parliament compelled to buv all the
gold presented to it at a fixed price, and at a fixed price
obliged to sell all gold demanded of it—the trade in gold is
not free. Suppose some gigantic corporation, on whom par-
liament had conferred certain exclusive privileges, were com-
pelled to buy all corn presented to it at 31. 17s. Sd. per
quarter, and also obliged to sell It at M. 17s. ltlld. per
quarter—whatever the amount of labour consumed in its
production—would you consider the trade in corn free?
Substitute gold for corn, and tie illustration is complete.—l
am, &c., FRANCIS BENNOCIL—Richard Cobden, M.P
The following are the propositions referred to:
PRINCIPLES OP THE ANTI-GOLD-LAW LEAOVE IN LESS TITAN

TWELVE LINEB, HEALBONINO EXCLUDED.
SECTION ;INST.—ANTI GOLD.-1. Our home trade should
not be dependent on a foreign product as a medium of ex-
change. 2. Its so depending is the chief cause of fluctuation
in pnces, disastrous panics, and consequent national suffer-
ing. 3. Therefore we demand the abrogation of all acts
of parliament which fix the price of gold, or make it the
basis of, or an inelispensable clement in, our circulating
medium of exchange.
SECTION IiECOND.—PRO PAPER.-1. A paper currency
under certain regulations is more sconomicil and safer than
gold. 2. There is no important function that gold money
now performs in our home trade which paper money cannot
perform better. 3. Therefore we advocate a paper currency
as our internal circulating medium of exchange. These pro-
positions we are prepared to establish, by fact and argument.,
to such as will listen. If legislators will not voluntarily
and impartially listen, how can they believe? Public
opinion works wonders. F. BENNOCH.

MR. COBDEN'S OPINIONS ON THE CURRENCY

QUESTION.
TO THE EDITOR OP THE DAILY NEWS.
. .

Sir,—While tho all absorbing and moat deeply in-
teresting question of the currency is agitating nut only the
public mind but the commerce of the world, perhaps you
will consider the following or rrespeadeace to be of sutfi tent
importance to give it a place in your columns, and oblige,
sir, your faithful *errant, Fn.oncis BENNOCH.—Blackheath,
Jan. 23, 1848. NO. I.
I did not consider my first note to Mr. Cobden to be of
sufficient importance to keep a copy of it, as it was merely
written to request the favour of an interview for myself and
Mr. Taylor in relation to the currency. In that letter I
stated that the principle of the Anti-Gold•law League was
to establish " free trade in banking," as well as " tree trade
in gold," to which I received the following reply :
NO. COBDEN TO Mk. BINNOCH.

London, 18th Dec., 1847.—Dear Sir,—ln reply to your
note requesting an interview on the subject of the currency,
I am sorry to say I am leaving town for Manchester, and
shall not be able to see you. I suspect we have opposite
opinions upon the currency, but to confess the truth I do not
know what the plan it, recommended by your " Anti-Gold.
law League," or by the Birmingham school. Before any
proposition can he made interesting to the pubic, it Inuit be
put in a simple, brief form. You speak of free trade in
gold " u one of your objects, but I consider the import and
export of gold already free. Do not trouble yourself to
write to me with any reasons in support of your plan, but
if you can tell me, in the compass of a dozen lines, what
your plan really is, I shoul,l be glad to have it; and I think
1 have given sufficient attention to the question to be able
to form en opinion upon }our proposed systein.—l remain,
&C., RICHD. COBDEN.
P.S. Recollect, I want the plan in twelve lines, or rather,
I wish to know your object. The Anti-Corn-law League
stated its object in fewer words—" The total and immediate
repeal of the corn laws, and the abolition of all pmts. tiva
duties.'

cipally English during the voyage. lam convinced, from I
their conversation, that they knew what had been ping on
in Paris since they had left it; and although they did net say
much about their family, they were aware that some of their
children had arrived safely in England. His Majesty ap-
peared particularly anxious that his route from Paris to
Havre should not be known, and that no ill should befall
the kind and devoted friends he had left behind in France,
who hod sheltered him, and facilitated his mape from that
country. We arrived off the coast of Sussex about sax
o'clock in the morning. We had only been going at half-
speed, and kept dodging about until daylight. The King
rose early, and entered into familiar conversation with
the commander, called him his good friend Paul,
and also with the chief mate. The Captain jokingly
asked his Majesty how he should address him on shore,
since his passport was made out in the name of " Smith."
" Oh, my good friend, Paul," was the reply, "there are no
passports in your country." The King seemed greatly
pleased to think that shortly both himself and the Queen
would be relieved from ell fear and anxiety about their per-
sonal safety. They both breakfasted about nine o'clock ;
they then gave 200 francs to be distributed amongst the
crew, and made particular inquiries respecting the children
of the commander, and the name of the chief officer, Mr.
Goodridge. The heavy box to which I have before alluded
was filled with five-franc pieces, which appeared suite new,
as if they were direct from the Mint. At ati •ut It o'clock,
as near as I can guess, two boats were lewired, into which
his Majesty, the Queen, and the attendant: were audited.
One of the boots was steered by Captain Paul, and the other
by the chief mate. The party was then rowed to the shore,
and when the boat, returned the Express was steered for
Southampton.

CARLISLE_ ELECTION.

The polling commenced on Tuesday morning, at
eight o'clock, and continued with great spirit. Mr. Hodg-
son heading the list until four o'cleck, when the numbers
were
Hodgson (tory)
Howard (liberal) 414
Dixon (liberal)
M'Douall (chartist)....
An extraordinary edition of the Carlisle Journal says:
It was evident, almost front the first, that in consequence of
the lamentable division in the liberal camp, Mr. Hodg-
son's return at the head of the poll was almost certain. A
considerable number of the liberal party, in the early part
of the day, divided their votes between Mr. Dixon and Mr.
Howard, and this course of proceeding continued, with
comparatively trifling exceptbms, until put one o'clock—
many hoping, even against hope, that there was a chance
for securing the two seats. But the " split " had done its
work; and it then became a struggle between the liberals for
securing to their respective favourites the seat. Many pro-
crested to" plump' for Dixon or for Howard, as the caw
might be. At this period Mr. Howard was a n head of
Mr. Dixon, and the further progress of the struggle was
watched with intense interest. Bands of music and banners
were paraded about all parts of the town, and the streets
were much thronged by canvassers and lookers-on ; but all
went on in extreme good humour.
A second edition nt the Carlisle Patriot states that soon after
4 o'clock the successful candidates and th, it friends, and Dr.
M'Douall, repaired to the hustings to be present at the
mayor's declaration. The crowd in front was immense-
-12,000, at the least; and the pressure even upon the
hustings was almost unendurable. After much dtfflenlty,
and a good deal of inconvenience, the maser announced
the numbers as given above. The result was received with
considerable cheering ou the part of Mr liodgson's support-
ers, and some little by the persons who immediately sur-
rounded Mr. Howard. Mr. Hodgson then briefly returned
thanks for the honour done him.

SUFFOLK.

EIII'LOYMENT IN NOIitNICII.—A few weeks back
we (Bury P.st) stated that there was a strong probability
that the spring trade with the hand-loom weavers would be
very good. We rejoice to find that in this we were perfectly
correct. We have not known it so brisk for many years pest
as at present. The going works are chiefly amongst fancy
nets, which cannot be moved by steam power. Of thus
there arc plenty to be had, and at remunerating prices ; in-
deed nothing like hands enough can be found to take them.
Of other works woven by hand there is also a fair supply;
I so that those who are not capable et weaving the more heavy
complicated nets are generally employee' on the lighter
I works. Good hands are very much in demand.

MONEY MARKET & MTV INTELLIGENCE.
Two o'Ckck.—The news of the entrance of the
Sardinian troops into Lombardy, and the proclama-
tion of the King of Sardinia, announcing the march
of his army against the Austrians, received by express,
and first published, as usual, in second and third
editions of the Daily Netts this morning,
has created quite a sensation in the City. War now
commenced in Europe, no one can pretend to say
where and how soon it will end. It is believed here
that Sardinia has not taken this decisive step without
previous concert with, if not by the instigation of,
the French government. Our funds, from the com-
mencement of business, have been heavy and de-
clining, not alone arising, however, from ths

TO TILE EDITOR OF TUE "ENPREit"
General Post-office, March 29, 1848.
Sta,—l am instructed by the Poetmaster-General to for-

which has recently been issued by this department.—
TOUTS, &c., W. L. MABERLY.
Her majesty's government having decided to discontinue

3rd May next, once in each month, namely, by the packet
which sails from Southampton on the 20th of every month.
The mails, however, for India, &c., via Marseilles, which
leave London in the beginning of the month, will be con-
tinned, and will be despatched, as usual, on the evening of
the 7th of each month (or, when the 7th falls on a Sunday,
on the evening of the Bth), and all letters, if pre-paid and
not specially addressed via Southampton, will be forwarded
by the route of Marseilles.

HAMPEIIIRE.

Smucouno.—An important Bemire, consisting of
a tinsel called the Patch, with 800 gallons of foreign genera
andbrandy was made on Mond►y night in Poitsmouth har-
bour by a coast guardsman named Holbrook. Two of the
crew are in custody, and the spirits and vessels have been de-
livered over to the customs._

Mumma—A widow, Earned Hannah Sandler,
about 40 yeah of age, after the death of her husband gave
birth to two illegitimate children, and about five or six
mouths since she went into Chailey union workhouse in a
far advanced state of pregnancy with a third child. Whilst
there the gave birth to a male child, and after remaining in
the house till the 8 h Sept. she left and went to London,
taking with her her three children. The day after she left,
a person named Jane Mammon, of Lane Cottage, on going to
draw some water from the well discovered the body of an in-
tent floating on the surface of the water. Deceased was
drawn up, when the body was found to be naked, and appa-
rently about two months old. Inquiries were immediately
institcted, and, from certain marks on the body suspicion fell
upon the woman Sandler, as being the parent of the
child, and also its murderess. Mr. Walker, a neighbouring
surgeon, having been called to examine the body, gave an
opinion that death had been occasioned by suffocation caused
by drowsing. By order of the coroner, Mr. Gell, Superin-
tendent Harper, with Mr. Park, the master of a union-house,
went to London, for the purpose of seeing whether they
could find the woman Sandler. They found her near the
Victoria Theatre, in the Waterloo-reed, and upon asking
her her name, she said it was Hannah Mansfield. Mr.
Park having inquired whether she had not a child, which
went by the name of Louisa Sandler, she admitted that welt
was the awe, and, when they inquired where Ler children
were, she said they were at school in the Commercial-road,
Lambeth. The woman was taken to the Marquis of Granby
public-Louse, where she remained with Mr. Park, while the
other went to the school. Two only of the children were
toned then, and, as she gave such en unsatisfactory mount
of the third, she was removed to Chailef; but, upon the ono-
ner asking where the third child was, she remained perfectly
silent, A verdict of " Wilful Murder " has been returned
against her by the coroner's jury, and she now lies in Lewes

some slight improvement in shares, and a more steady
business. Railway stocks were, however, inquired

were reported better, as prices came somewhat im-

but speculative demand. Taw Vales, with 61.

next, not yet made public, are scarcely nego-
tiable. When calls are made by directors of railway
companies it is a duty they owe the public and the Stock
Exchange that they should receive all the publicity
possible. There must always be many inconveniences
in the negotiation of shares where a know-
ledge of calls does not exist, and the dealers and
brokers may be involved in serious difficulties with
clients in consequence, as shares cannot be transferred
until the call is paid, which is said, in the present
instance, to be male and not due until October next.

IRELAND.

Lcrd BROUGHAM wished to call the attention of the
noble President of the Council to an important subject ; he
meant what was now going on in Ireland in the formation
of clubs and secret societies, and the diaciplice and trai. lag
of persons for unlawful purposes. This subject was exciting
alarm in the minds of persons in Ireland who were not
liable to be alarmed upon ordinary occurrences. He wished
to know whether the attention of the goveractent had been
directed to the subject? He could only say that if the
governmi nt thought it necessary to come to parliament for
additional powers, they would be cheerfully granted by their
lordships and the ether house of parliament. (Hear, hear.)
The Marquis of LANSDOWNL said Were seal no doubt
that the attention of hrr Majesty'a government, and of the
noble earl at the head of the government in Ireland,had Leen,
and was now being, directed to this subject; and with
respect to the perils of such societies there could be no
difference of opinion. (Hear, hear.)

FREE CHURCHES (SCOTLAND).
The Marquis of BREADALBANE, on preset tine a great
number of petitions on the subject of sites for ire thurchea
in Scotland, said he had 50 mar., petitions to present, whiet
directly alluded to the bill on this subject which was now
before the other home of parliament; hut he send not pre-
sent them until that bill came up to their lordships. The
noble marquis then referred to several paragraph. in the
report of the committee of the Rause of Commons on this
subject, which showed that in many places sites for free
churches had been refused, and the consequence was that
the congregations were sometimes compelled to meet is
the open air, and in places very ill suited for public
worship. He did not wish to make any attack upon the in-
dividuals who had thus refused the sites; but he boldly as-
serted that no individual had • right to stand between a
man and the way is which he thought it best to worship his
Maker. He was sorry to say that some of their lordships
had refused to grant sites, hut he hoped they would not con-
tiaue to do so. Tha free church of Scotland was now cam-
posed of 698 ministers, and the number of churches was 701.
The free church party had built 243 minus far educationsl
and religious purposes; and they had raised for educational
and religions purposes—in 1843 4, 366,7191. • in 18444,
334,4851.; in 1845-6, 301,0071.; in 1848-7, 311:6951. • and in
the year 1817-8, 276,4001.; makingatotal of 1,692,0001. since
the disruption of the free from the established church. He
hoped that this grievance, of which at I sat one-third of the
people of Scotland had to complain, would be redressed ; and
the more especially when it was remembered that it was
inconsistent with the rights and privileges of British subjects
that they should be denied spots on which to erect buildings
for the won-hip of God. (Hear, hear.)
CRIMINAL LAW ADMINISTRATION BILL.
Lord BROUGHAM said that as the report of the judges
on this subject could not be obtained before the circuit, he
begged to poatpone the bill until the neat session of par-
liament.

ITALY.

The Constihnionale S.--ts';u7pi;to, of Turin, of the 6th,
announces from Peschiera, 3rd inst., that great ac-
tivity is manifested in the Pied montese camp. The troops
of Lombardy were constantly arriving and quac-
tities of ammunition and war-stores. A body of
Piedmontese has arrived at liovolone, near Legnago,
and a battle is imminent.

Advices from Samna, of the 4th, announce the
arrival of the Grand Duke of Tuscany in the Luni-
giana. It appears that his ibtention is to have an
interview with Charles Albert.

A letter from Vicuna, of the 4th, in a Hamburg
paper, states that the Austrian government has
resolved to send a reinforcement of 60,000 men into
Italy.
'rue NoureWatt., of Marseilles, of the 7th, say :
" We have just received the account of the sitting ol
the Chambers of Calabria. They were discussing, when
the report left, if they should concentrate their efforts
and attack Naples, or if it would not be wiser to
allow Ferdinand to waste his resources by desultory
attacks on them. The civil war increases every
moment ; the crisis approaches ; and the least clear-
sighted can see already a violent solution of the diffi-
culties of the country."

to government their willingness to continue the pro-
secution or the works, provided a monthly subvention
of four tnillive of fr knee be allowed them; otherwise
they desire to treat with government for the sur•
render of their contract with the state.

The Courier de Marseilles, of the ith, says that GO
chests of muskets, some containing 0 and others
25, have been discovered to have been clandestinely
sent from Lyons to Marseilles. These arms (observes
that journal,) are without doubt destined to arm the
numerous bands who have lately taken refuge in the
south.

The proposition of M.Proadhoa to confiscate a third
of the revenue of all persons of property, has elicited
the following from the Constitutional:
It is no longer a question with the author of this project
to sustain, as if for a wager, the detestable paradox that pro-
perty is a robbery ; the question is to carry his views into
practice, to take back from the landlords the third of their
revenues (or the advantage of their tenants, their farmers
their debtors, and the state. But of two things, one—either
M. Proudhon really is of opinion that property is a robbery,
and in that case the robbers ought to be made to give
back, not the third, but the whole of what they have
unlawfully taken from the public; or M. Proudhon is not
convinced of the truth of Ins doctrine, and then his plan
is nothing more than a proposition of legalised robbery ! It
is et the saute time a leaven of hatred flung down amongst
thee. who would have to lose, and those who would have to
gain, in the execution of this plan of spoliation. M. builds, on
May 15, wanted to take a milliard from the rich; the insur-
gents of June inscribed pillage as the device on their Hags
M. Proudhon proposes to decree at the same time a ion rd
taxation and legal pillage ! Such is the whole groundwork
of communism "

NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.-MONDAY.

The appearance of the Legislative Palace has lost
entirely the animation it possessed during the last few days,
and re-assumed, with the exception of a greater military
fore, the usual aspect of the old Chamber of Deputies.
The sitting was opened under the presidency of M.
Sensed, about a quarter °fan:hour after the hour announced.
The canruencement of the sitting offered nothing more
interr.tinz than th^ reading of the " proces verbal," which
has alsv.,ys the exclusive privilege of being read to empty
benches. Sevt ref addresses relative to the events of the 15th
May, the adhesions of the National Ousrds of the depart-
ments, and prop, sitions which appeared to have no interest
for others than the proposers. Amongst these, however, we
must single nut one which is of considerable importance, it
is the demand of a hank for mortgages, in other words, the
sulmbtution of the state for ali mortgagees, or persons who
have lent money on mortgage. This wan, on the motion of
M. Berner, referred to the committee on legislation.
Another proposition for the creation of a national bank,
nth branches in the department', was also cote rtained, and
rse-r•lol to a committee. On this proposition one of the members
ved that, to save time, all propositions of this kind
should be immediately referred to the committees to which
the matter pertained, without being previously read or dis-
tumod to the Assembly at s public sitting.
M. Dretztte, Minister of Finances, seconded this motion,
it.trving that he knew that slimly at least 200 proposi-
tons on the question of banks were about to he matte, each
of the authors of which could better support his individual
Preject in a committee than before the Assembly.
We now expeeted that the monotony of the sitting was
ahem to be beak .n in on by some discussion u to the dis-
orders at Limoges, but no discussion arose.
Two propositions, one relative to the reorganisation of
lalaiciffel councils, the other relative to the mode of con-
ducting the business of the committee for the project of the
tonstitution, gave rise to a discussion, or rather a confused
convermion.
M. DEHLONGRAIR, reporter of the Commiwion of Finances,
armouneed that the proposition made on the question
of the extraordinary tax of forty five centimes at the sitting
of Friday, has been rejected by the committee, on the
ground of prudence, under actual circumstances.

COMMEIICIAI. k MARKETS.

MONEY MARK ET CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Tire o' Clod: . —We have a troubled state of the
stock market this morning. The political intolli
genre from the continent of Europe is read as very
utifavourablc; and the very positive assurances,
within the last few days, of a pacific settle-
ment of the northern imbroglio, the Schleswig-Hol-
stein question, do not come justified by the adviees
from Hamburg and Copenhagen. We have had
Console down in consequence to 81, but they are now

a good deal of speculative business doing. It duced

forthcoming for the payment of the dividend on the
Threes, which, by the way, is not due till the latter
end of next month. It is not believed that there is any

Greece! I have k Iled the tyrant !^ but he was ar-
, rested in the rtreet, and lodged in prison. His name is
Apostoli Nadir, a native of Constantinople, and 2.i years
of age. It is said that he had no personal res. ntment
against M. Mussurus. who had in fact always treated
him with great kindness, and his crime is generally
ascribed to political fanaticism. The wound of M. Mus-
eums was instantly attended to, and two shots were
extracted, but there are three oth, n still remaining,
having lodged in the bone. On hearing of this event, the
King inimedi,trly Sent his Aide-de-camp, Rear-Admiral
Sshioi, to express to M. Museurus his deep regret.
