LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPT. 23.
Tin amounts from Paris and from Frankfort are
alike unsatisfactory, and ditainish the hope of a
peaceable and constitutional policy being arrived at on
on side of the Rhine or upon the other. This, how-
ever, is not to be despsieed of, although the ac3onnts
either speak of, or portend, renewed and opcn strug-
gles between the governments and the ultra-demo-
Thecratic perti
worst feature in the intelligence from Paris is
not the election of Louts NAPOLEON. The votes
which give him so preponderant a majority are not
the votes of a compact and unanimous party, but an
aggregate of the moot miscellaneous sentiment.. The
army, the invalids, the retired officers, non of them
men of disorder, have alone furnished an immense
number of Louis NAPOLEON'S adherents. The danger
lies in the fifty or sixty thousand votes for Rot
PAIL and Co., which mark that the number of the
red republicans in Paris is still formidabltt.
We are far from thinking that of these fifty thousand
one-half, or even one-third, are ready or maiined to
take up arms or have recourse once more to a struggle
in the streets. The fears of this are, we are confi-
dent, infinitely exaggerated. But still the fear and
probabilities which do exist, and which will be in-
creased by the number of votes even to the com-
munist and red republican candidates, will nerve as
• its for maintaining the state of siege, and keep-
• the country in the provisional state of government
by intimidation.
Frankfort, in the meantime, has been the scene of
disorders and repression which most unfortunately
have the effect of arousing political passions and ores-
dog dangerous excitement throughout the entire of
the land. We have already given our opinion of the
Danish armistice, pointed out German objections to
some of its condition, and expressed regret that the
dignity of the Frankfort Assembly had not been from
the first consulted in the business. However, the
differences on the subject of the Schleswig quarrel
were not very serious or very great. And the Frank-
fort parliament, after venting its discontent end cen-
suring the Archduke's ministers for their blundering
management, ended by accepting the treaty, as fer
as it was executable, in other words, minus the gir
eminent of Count MOLTKE and its unfair neon-
paniments.
Here the question ought tohave terminated. But those
miserable ultra-democrats, whose fate it is to destroy
every fair prospect of liberty and every fair working of a
constitutional system, thought fit to get up an imeute.
A republican erneukt cannot be formidable either in
Frankfort or any part of Western Germany. When
the insurrection of HEKKER and his followers was
put down, almost by the people themselves, without
effort, the republic, red or tricolor, was not very
formidable at Frankfort. The partisans are there
confined to the suburb of Sachsenkausen and
the neighbouring manufacturing town of Offenbach.
For, any numbers that these could muster, the
troops of Hes- e and the burgher guard of Frankfort
were fully able to put them down, without the aid slats
Austrian and Prussian soldiers of the federal garrison
of Mayence. We regret to see that the Frankfort
ministry deemed it necessary to nil in thaw; for the
circumstance will render them very unpopular, and
at the same time place the military and liberal
parties, the unitarians and the old monarchists, at
dens variance in and out of parliament.
There is one mistake made by writers from
Frankfortwhich ought to be speciallygonisdagefest
This is the confounding all the liberal =ibises of
the Assembly under the one name of the left, and
treating all that', who voted against the Danish ands-
tiee as of the rioters and the republic. It
would be just as fair to class M. ODILLON BARILJT
and M. LIDRU ROLLIN together in the parties of the
old French chamber ; or to assimilate M. MAZEAST SO
Ftocon in the present Assembly. The leader
of the kit in the Frankfort Assembly was the
very man, who not only opposed, but put down
lime= and the republicans of the lror parlament.
Mee an be IMO enemies of insurrection and vio-
late tiara the enierity of the members of ifs Isfi of
the Frankfort Monthly. And any gorse meat or
stadLunot writers that would confound, or guessed in
ding the moderate liberals of Franklin with
Ihe wild republicans, would do more to advance
simesky and revolution than the worst and most
Admit demerps.
One mean to have reason to suspect that Germane
are espabie of each horrid atrocities u those re.
sordid in the late amounts from Frankfort. It
is asserted that Prises LICHNOWSKI and his friend
VON AIIIRSWALD sore slain on the outside
boulevard of Frankfort, one of its most common tho-
roughfares. LICIINOWSZI had become an eater of
first-rate power., sa experisnoed and able
debater, one of those sea whom Clammy
in its present state should prize and homer.
The killing of one of the brightest ornaments tithe new
parliament will stamp, unless it turns oat to have ben
in open fight, an indelible disgrace upon the Frank-
fort mob, and might tend, indeed, to deprive that city
of the supremacy which the Germans were ready to
accord it. It is to be hoped that the reports of the
mode of LICHNOWSKI'S death may not prove merest.
If there be that point of similarity between the
lose thers of Paris and of Frankfort, there le alee.an
unfortunate similarity between the nrielables who
bare been elevated to power in both counleiss. The
Frankfort ministers are, with the imeeption
Scumazuteo, an incapable est. Their peaky, the
Danish question included, has been a series of
blunder*. After havintEeten thrown out of power
by a hostile majority, now retain it by Austrian
and Premien bayonets, which means they will
render the Archduke Jumbo; unpopular as the Primo
of Purism ; and they may very probably compel the
Frankfort Assembly to split into two, one half con-
tinuing to sit under the bayonets of Austrian and
Prussian soldiers, the other refusing to debate under
such coercion, and either dissolving, or transferring
their sittings to some spot where they shall be free
at once from popular and from military dictation.

;7. We are sorry to say that the revolutionary epi-
; demi* which has been making circuit of Europe
for the last nine months appears to have infected a
s portion of the proprietors of Bank stock. The
combination is curtons, and if the consequences were
"s imply eccentric without being inconvenient the
oddity would be merely the latest marvel. People
would content themselves with an a:donative, and
it erosible men would grumble over the defective judg-
• meat which made the Bank parlour the arena of dis-
c erosions nomesenly., untimely, and pernicious. But
the matter is not amply whimaiaal It is something
"'i more. It is positively mischievous, and, moreover, it
... is not bortly a posies which CONN= the recipients
• of the dividend, but a creation which intimately con-
cane the whole ecousercial body over whom the
Bank of England ezerciees habitually, or at intervals,
no trifling &gees of In eans%
... The malcontent pairs of the proprietors have
found a leader and a opoiowinan in Mr. Itrunia. He
is at all events a bold captain. How far his valour is
tempered with discretion, and to what octant his saga-
city may ordain his volubility, is another question,
and a question which may reasonably admit of two
opinions. Mr. FILLDER expounds a new doctrine, as
will as makes a new motion. He &dans that ^it
1. is the spirit and intention of the Bank charters and
the Bank by-laws that the directors shall positively
divide all the profits " among the hobbies of Bask
Stock; anything in the shape of a reserve, except
. . some contemptible trifle which he indicate, in an
obscure parenthesis, is a positive violation both of
the statute and the moral law. Mr. FIELDIR therefore'

England Will be
it' sanctions by its exam-
vectors to tot the latest
la Latest village of Ken-
...sada* es.--...er a prudent or respectable to
avow. We ktetsids that Mr. Munn has.attoined
the age of maturity. It is reasonable, therefore, to
conclude. thnt, at least by hearsay, he happens to
be in pommies of the fact, that hasping a bank is
not necessarily a perpetual ovation of amens. Now
and then there are such things as bad debts and
dishonoured bills, and litigious customers, who take
out more in law than they contribute in interest.
Adopting this basis, we beg to propose to Mr.
FIRLDER a problem in arithmetic :—Given no bad
debts one year, and a dividend of alt the profits; and
given nothing but bad debts next year; what will be
the dividend of that yes. We are much mistaken
if the result—work it out as he pima% bye rule of
three, or decimals, or algebra, or logarithdoes
not conduct Mr. FIELDER to one of those minus quan-
tities where a disagreeable vicissitude is introduced,
into the experience of the proprietors, by the conver-
sion of their privilege of receipt into one of payment.
So far it has been esteemed a wand and convenient
doctrine that it was much better to avoid these
puselpitous leaps from the top to the bottom of the
seals, by a little timely self-denial. A merchant, or a
bestir, makes 20 par cent one year, and he spends
only 10, leaving ustouched the other 10 as a reserve
fund, against the reverses of fortune and the casual-
ties of trade. Now, this undivided profit is simply
the bankers' or the merchants' " Rest." It is the
guarantee fund which justifies him in believing that
one year with another ho may spend out of his buai-
nese some definite sum—whatever that sum may be-
8, 12, or 18 per sent on his capital ; and as a matter
of common sense, the magnitude of this Rest is always
proportioned to the extent of the business
with which it is connected, and the nature of the
liabilities it may have to meet. 'Fhe notion of divid-
ing the profits of the Bank of England down to the
last shilling is one of those eccentricities which we
are accustomed to reckon up among the native or the
naturalised productions of Pennsylvania. It is quite
clear that, as a matter of common sense, the Bank
mast always retain a very large sum of undivided
profit, or of Rest. In point of Net, the Rest is as
essential to the daily business of the concern, as the
desks and stools, and iuk-horns, and all the other
paraphernalia which fill the souls of country cousin
and good-natured old women with wonder and amaze-
ment. if you extinguish the Rest, we do not see why
you should not periodically convert the quadrangle
into an auction mart, and set up Mr. MATTHEW MAR-
SHALL to sell off the superfluous fixtures of the house,
sad the records of the national debt, to the highest
bidder.
So much for the abstract merits of Mr. FIELDER'S
motion. He will scarcely obtain a statue as the
founder of a new school of counting-house economy.
Some of the more reasonable speakers who joined
in the debate seemed to think that everything apper-
taining to the Rest, beyond the limit of 3,000,0001.,
ought to be divided among the proprietors. This is
• comparatively reasonable idea. Three millions is a
respectable sum, no doubt ; and, if it was any eeta-
blishnient of less eminence than the Bank of Etg-
land, we dare say that a half or a third of three mil-
lions would be the height of affluence for the habi-1
teal reserve. Or if it was any establish-
ment where the sole and paramount purpose
of its existence was to make money for the holders of
its stock, in all likelihood even less than a third of
3,000,0001. would be abundantly sufficient. But
none of these hypotheses represent the truth. We beg
to say—and no doubt Mr. kIELDER will 'consider the
opinion extremely heretical—that making a profit for
the proprietors is the least important of the Junctions
of the Bank of England. We will go further, and
say that the sooner the Bank of England is entirely
delivered from the obligation of making a profit for
its proprietors the better. We are not going to con-
fiscate the dividends; there are other and more
equitable means of accomplishing the change. Bat we
aro quite persuaded that it will be a great and salu-
tary reform whenever means can be devised for gua-
ranteeing a fixed profit to the proprietors and reducing
them to the passive condition of the constituents of
the India Hones.
Regarded as • great national institution, as a cor-
poration which is the centre and support of • wider
circle of operations than any other trading company
in the world, and as an establishment which has in
no small degree to bear the brunt of every battle and
the assaults of every storm, it concerns not merely
its own safety but (we beg to remind Mr. FIELDER)
it concerns the safety and convenience of the
public, that the resources and credit of the Bank
should not be liable to be disturbed by the noisy dis-
content of every man who thinks that he can mend
his income by raising his head and his voice above
the common level.
Tee practice of former years was referred to. The
practice of former years on this question is not a
thing to be imitated bat to be avoided. At the end
of the war the Rest was upwards of 81 millions, and
the dividend had been 10 per cent. since 1807. In
1816 there was the addition of 23 per cent to the
nominal amount of stock, and by that measure the
Rest was reduced to 6 millions. The dividend was
still maintained at 10 per cent until 1824, and also
till the Rest was run down to about 21 millions.
It would have been better to have adopted the six
millions as a minimum, and to have legislated with
• reference to that view, than to have gone on
starving the credit of the Bank for the sake of life-
interests and impatient philosophers. Above all
other things, the present is no time for experiments;
and we most heartily hope that at the ensuing ballot
the fair and reasonable and unanimous proposal of the
directors will be supported, as it deserve' to be, by a
majority of the deliberate opinions of their consti-
tuents.
If it is not so supported they have,the remedy in
their own hands. In future the question of the divi-
dend must be a question of oonfidence or no confidence
in the management

vacation. The judge", happily
forgetful of nim prim and of bunco, are enjoying the
delights of rural scenery or the watering-places; bar-
riders ere grouse-eheetrelf, regardless of the interests
of clients; and the doors of the courts and chambers
are closed against attorney", even for the filing
_of a
solitary declaration. All is still and peaceful in
Queens Bench-walk and Serjeants'-inn : the whole
profession are taking holiday the whole, or
nearly so.
Yes, there is an exception. MOWS. PEMBRRTON,
CRAWLRY, and GARDINER, the respectable solicitors to
the Woods and Forests, are, we regret to say, unable to
take a holiday. They are engaged, as appears from
Mr. Psusurrot's evidence before Lord DUNCAN'S
esnimittee, in making out their bills against the de-
partment for the year 1847.
The Woods and Forests have so mach law upon
their haade—they give the three partners of the
highlyelepestabk arm they employ such unceasing
toil and trenble—that they are abeointely unable to
make oat their amounts except in the long vacation.
