THE

I reports are in circulation respecting the conduct
and bearing of the officers and crew of the Falcon,
to which we shall not at present give currency,
as we doubt not that the loss of the Imogene will
form the subject of an investigation by order
of the Board of Trade, and that which ever party
has been at fault will receive the well-merited
reprobation which their rash and ill-judged conduct
merits. The affair created considerable sensation
on 'Change yesterday. The ship was a favourite,
and her loss is deeply regretted.
Our Continental advices this morning are rather
interesting, and in some respects important. The
aspect of the relations between Naples and France
and England grows every day more critical.

Alluding to this important matter, the Debats
(Paris paper) of yesterday says :—We are informed
that the place of rendezvous for the English and
French forces will be at Ajaceio. Tomorrow or

the day after the French squadron will quit
Toulon. One of the ships will carry a courier of

the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, bearing instruc

tions to M. Brenier. After the response already
anticipated, has been made to the demands autho-

rised by these instructions, diplomatic relations
will be entirely suspended. M. Brenier Will retire
on board the Allied fleet, which will make arrange.
ments to remain in the Bay of Naples, with the
object of protecting the national interests. The
King of Naples has left his capital, and is sojourn-
int, at Gaeta; it is there, it is said, that he will
receive the representations of the Allied Powers.
According to our Paris advices, we may expect
that, in the course of a few days, the Moniteur will
publish a note to show the object and meaning of
the resolution taken by the Allied Courts. That
note will probably be couched in terms not of a
character to encourage any revolutionary move-
ment, It is probable that it will resemble the
language held by Lord Clarendon and Count
Walewski in the Congress, and that it will repeat
the statement that the two Courts interfere in the
affairs of Naples entirely in a Conservative spirit,
and to maintain, and not to disturb, European
order ; in fact, the intervention will be an energetic
protest against all attempts at disorder.
According to all we can learn, the King of
Naples appears to be taking every precaution in
anticipation of the rebellion against his government.
At the same time, viewing all the statements which
reach us from the various parts of his kingdom,
there is abundant evidence that the great bulk of
the people are discontented, and only wait a
pretext and a favourable opportunity of throwing
off their allegiance to a sovereign who has
ruled them with cruelty and tyranny. There
was talk in Paris, yesterday, of an ultimatum
to be taken to Naples by a fleet, but this is
only a rumour. A letter from Naples, of the
Bth inst., states that, by an express order of the
police, the Sicilians desirous to proceed to Naples,
must hereafter be provided with a special authori-
sation to that effect from the Government. This
injunction applies also to those already furnished
with passports for the interior or for foreign
countries.

The news from Constantinople, tells us that
Austria wishes to prolong her occupation of the
Principalities until the month of November. Sub-
sequent advices mention that she will occupy the
Principalities until the difficulties of Turkey with
Russia shall be completely arranged. Mehemet
Pasha is to command the corps of observation
stationed at Monastir to watch the Montenegrins.
The attempted revolt of the Balkans has been
repressed. Saleh Pacha has been acquitted, but
severely admonished. The corporal has been found

guilty of the murder of the young girl, and con-
demned to death; and the domestic intendent of
the Pacha sentenced to the galleys. The only
Prussian news of moment, relates to the approach-
ing royal marriage.
From Madrid we hear that the Queen has
accepted the resignation of Cantero, and that
Salaverria was named the Minister of Finance.
Rumours were afloat of the speedy return of
Narvaez, as well as the Queen Mother. This, it
is said, was the price of the Queen's consent to
the publication of the additional articles on the
Constitution, and of the concession made
in regard to the sale of ecclesiastical property.
The chief event of the day in the Spanish capital
is the publication of the decree establishing the
Constitution, and the report which precedes it. It
is a document still heavier and clumsier than the
preceding ones. It evinces a desire of pleasing
both parties, of keeping the promise made to Dulce
on behalf of the Progressists, and of fulfilling the

engagements entered into towards the clerical
party and the friends of the King. The religious
question and the relations with Rome are treated
in such a manner as to prepare the public mind for
the suspension of the sale of church property.
Our local events are rather interesting. At the
Coroner's Court, yesterday, that functionary
made a few remarks upon the improper
practice of throwing coppers to idle vagrants
who run after the omnibuses. We agree
with Mr. Curry, and are of opinion that
some plan should be devised to put a stop to a
system fraught with evil consequences to the
public at large. The Royal Oak Burial Society
held a meeting last night in the Concert Hall.
Lord Nelson-street. The sitting was a protracted
one, and the proceedings anything but harmo-
nious. It will be in the recollection of our readers
that the Judge of the County Court ordered that
an election for new office-bearers should take
place, on the ground that those lately holding
the position of President, Vice-President,
and Committee-men had sadly mismanaged
their trust. Last night's mtating was called
for the purpose of proceeding to such election.
The old office bearers mustered strong, brought
up a numerous force of supporters, and were
thereby enabled to get re-elected, thus running
quite opposite to the designs of the Judge of the
County Court. What course his Honour will pursue,
on hearing from Mr. Martin the result of last night's
proceedings, we cannot say. One thing, however,
is certain, that the affairs of the society have got
into the hands of its former managers, so that there
is but little prospect of anything like an amicable
arrangement of the disputes between some of the
members and the present office bearers.

THE failure of the Royal British Bank resembles
that of every other institution of the kind. In all
such cases, everybody does wrong, and everybody
loses. Whether this bubble was the creation of a
Texan novelist of strong pro-slavery predilections ,
or the offspring of a professional BtiMonist, its
matters not. Its principles were sound, and its
success in raising capital and obtaining customers
mark their general approval. The large funds
raised in both these ways have, no doubt, been
unwisely, if not improperly applied, but this does
not detract from the merits of the cash credit
system which made the Bank so popular in the
metropolis. That it did stand high in public
favour cannot be disputed ; for its popularity
raised one of its humble originators, Mr. RICUARD
HARTLEY KENNEDY, to the rank of an Alderman
and Sheriff of the city of London, as if by magic.
Nothing but a bank could, in fact, have accom-
