The return of the Bank of England for the week

the previous weekly return, shows the following

The improvement in the position of the Bank is
going on with extraordinary rapidity. The increase
in the reserve of notes and coin in the bankins
department, which last week was 1,880,6781., is this
week 1,688,8661. The increase in the coin and
bullion, which last week was 1,381,3661., is now
1,302,426. The increase in the reserve is easily ex-
plained, the " other securities" having decreased
1,176,7641., whilst the deposits have increased
668,8461. The total stock of coin and bullion is now
fully ten millions and three-quarters, and the re-
serve is nearly eight million& The over-issue of
two millions of notes still appears upon the face of
the return, bat was doubtless cancelled the following
morning, when the directors lowered the rate of
discount from ten to eight per cent. Deducting
these two millions the reserve will stand at close
upon six millions--a very respectable amount. As
there is no reasonable doubt that the resources of the
Bank will continue to increase rapidly, a fresh re-
duction of the rate of discount will be looked for,
from week lo week.

THE GREAT EARTHQUAKE IN THE

KINGDOM OF NAPLES.

(nor ors ow.

NAPLES, Dec. IL
I moat for the present leave all other subjects and
apply myself in the first place to a description of
tbs earthquake which occurred in this kingdom on
the night of Wednesday, the 16th, and which
threatened the destruction of Naples. I think I
mentioned in a former letter that the cone of Vesa-
au had been destroyed by the shock of an earth-
pike felt slightly here on the night of the 7th inst.
Well, nothing more had occurred in the interval, the
old mountain smoked his pipe as usual, and people
Went oat to see the flare-up which he mode. On
Wednesday night last, however, I was writing when
the table began to shake violently, the lamp to rock,
end the bells of the house to ring as if they had been
palled by a strong hand. The walls of my room,
Fro, viably lured backwards and forwards, and
creaked as might a boat straining heavily at sea.
There could be no doubt as to the cause of these awful
phenomenon, and I rushed out of my house. There
had already been two shocks up to this time, then
same a third so strong that I thought that the house
weld have fallen and buried me in its ruins. Some
rues were rated on the ground, and in nearly a
keetiag state leaning against the wall, to whose
Movements they wielded, rocked backwards end for-
tified... in a cradle. By this time people were
seeping rapidly into the streets, and making inqui-
ries as to each Other's experience. Everyone came to
leek at Vesuvius, but the mountain gave little man-
ia it threw out but little fire, and seemed sulky
mad 'steamy. It was not an agreeable prospect in
new in returning to one's own house, so that I re-
el/ad to walk the streets, and the scene which pu-
lsated itself will never be effaced from my memory.

The action commie:toed at the village of Delloor, st 11 cm.,

Instead of each section meeting this day in its own room at
the Queen's College, and each of the presidents delivering
their addresses simultaneously, imbed been at Snit proposed, it
was prudently arranged that there should be a general meet-

was accordingly a large attendance, nearly all the gentlemen
who were present on the previous evening being in the ball.

in his suggestion that the county courts should have power

land they had an admirable system of local justice, but be
doubted its applicability to this country, and in Ireland there
were beatable:appointed teadeninister justice in the provisoes

subject up which the opinion of the world

In a short time afterwards a solicitor applied to the court

Against the mane release, It was urged that if Harrison
were really in the state described, it would be cruelty to re-
move him from prison ; that the same sort of statement had
been made on a previous occasion, and that in the infirmary
of the prison the vary best medical skill could be obtained.
The C.ommiesioner observed that when the medical man
made the eMdevit he distinctly stated that the only hope of
the man's .arriving was through his being released.
A contention then ensued, and the matter ended in the

telegraphic despatch from Bucharest, the deputies
to the Divan ad hoc of Wallachia may be classified
as follows for their political opinions, their adhe-
sion, however, to the wish far the union being ge-
neral :—Liberal progresaieta, 68; conservatives, 26;
partisans of the ex-hospodars, 18 ; total, 101.
Another classification is as follows:—National
party, properly so called, 64; patriots of 1848, 19 ;
partisans of the Prince Caimacan, 11 ; deputies of
the peasants, not clarified, 17; total, 101. As the
number of deputies is only 102, no very material
change from the above can take place."

THE MONETARY CRISIS AT HAMBURG.

(nom ors OWN CONRUPONDINT.)

HAMBURG, Ocr. 10.
The intelligence which has just been received of
the advance in the minimum rate of discount by the
Bank of England has had a greater effect here than
it appears to have bad in London, where, perhaps,
it had been more surely anticipated. It is almost
impossible to procure cash for even the best paper at
a lower rate than 7i per cent. per annum, while for
any other description there is actually no quotation.
Core of all kinds daily becomes more scarce; and, as
the various blinking establishments throughout Ger-
many have their hands full of railway, mining, and
similar shares, on which they have made ad-
vances, they cannot afford the usual accommo-
dation to the mercantile and manufacturing inte-
rests in their various districts, so that all have
recourse to this city, as the monetary metropolis of
the North of Europe, and the supply of our local
wants consequently becomes more and more difficult
from these extraneous demands. The appearance at
such a time of the prospectus for a Swedish loan to
enable the government of that country to construct
the main lines of railway has, under such circum-
stances, been very inopportune, and these northern
financiers will find th►t they committed a great
mistake when they did not accede to terms required
by our capitalists for the same purpose last year, as
they will not now be eo liberally dealt with. On
this occasion, besides, they. wish to have all the
favourable alternations in their own power,
while the lenders are to be precluded from
deriving benefit from any advantageous turn which
may take place in the money markets of Europe.
As it is not probable that the application here will
prove successful to any extent, the demand will in
all likelihood be shortly transferred to London,
where, in the present state of matters, it is not to be
supposed that it will meet with a more favourable
reception ; but it is a difficult matter to persuade
such borrowers that, even with the demand for
money there for the suppression of the Indian muti-
nies, and for Britain's own other more immediate
purposes, there is not at all times enough to be had
there to supply the wants of all who may have occa-
sion to apply to them for aid in every emergency,
and the Increase in the rate of discount at this time
may have the effect of enlightening them on this
subject.

constitution proposed for the duchy, states that the
present position of the duchy is most critical, that
the projected constitution is insufficient, and that it
is only by radical reforms in the common constitu-
tion that the grievances of the duchyean be removed.
The committee, moreover, deplores the treatment to
which the duchy has been subjected, u regards na-

DISPUTE BETWEEN FRANCE AND

DENMARK.

BERLIN, Bur. 6.
The Zeit of Berlin mentions that a dispute has
arisen between France and Denmark, which has
produced an ultimatum on the part of France.
The dispute originated in a difference of opinion
u to the execution of the treaty for the redemp-
tion of the Sound Dues. The French government
wished to pay its quota in Paris, whilst the Daniell
government required the payment. to be made at
Copenhagen.

A dispute has arisen between the federal autho-
rity and the Canton of Vaud, on the question of the
railway from Lausanne to Berne, by way of Oron
and Fribourg. The Council of State of Vaud
directed the Prefect of Lavaux to stop tho works,
on the ground that it had not given its sanction to
that portion of the line which traverses the Canton.
As soon as the federal council heard of this resolu-
tion they unanimously annulled it, and as the
authorities of Lausanne were preparing to send a bat-
talion to enforce their orders, a telegraph despatch,
containing the substance of the federal resolution,
was sent off, so as to throw on the Council of State
of the Canton of Vaud the responsibility of any fur-
ther proceedings. M. Fornerod, the President of
the Confederation, was absent when his colleagues
came to the resolution of enforcing the federal
laws ; and, as he is a Vaudois, it is hoped that he
will have sufficient influence with his fellow-coun-
try men to prevent them from pushing the matter
to extremities.

BELGIUM.

The King of the Belgians arrived at Geneva on
the 31st ult. Ilia Majesty avoided passing through
Berne, the federal city, in order not to have to hold
any official reception. It was believed that the
king would only make a short stay at Geneva, and
then proceed to Milan.
A public subscription was recently opened at
Ghent to present General Capiaumoot with a sword
of honour for his conduct as commander of the
troops in that city on the 30th and 31st May last,
when disturbances took place in so many parts of
Belgium. The general has just addressed a letter
to the committee charged to superintend the raising
of the subscription, to say that as the government
has, in its late publication in the Moniteur, formally
approved of his conduct, he is sufficiently recom-
pensed by that declaration, and accordingly begs
that the sums already received may be employed in
some charitable purpose.

The Princes; IClathilde arrived at Ostend on
Thursday in a special train from France; her im-
perial highness occupied one of the saloon impinges
of the Northern of France Railway. The princess
was accompanied by M. Barrot, French minister at
Berlin, and by three ladies of honour. The Duke
and Duchess de Brabant went to the railway station
to receive her imperial highness, and the august
personages proceeded in court carriages to the Hotel
Fontaine, at which apartments had been taken for
the princess. In the evening the princess, leaning
on the arm of the Duke de Brabant, took a promo-

nade on tbc estamule. On the following day the
duke was to give a grand dinner in honour of her
imperial highness.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

The Monieeur d. lo notte of yesterday has the
following:—We have referred to some odious orders
sent by the Court of Yekila to the mandarins go-
verning the maritime provinces of the Celestial
Empire. At many places, and especially Shanghai,
these orders have not been carried into effect ; but at
a great number of others they have unfortunately
found but too much concurrence in the bad passions
of the people. Some mandarins have issued to the
populace proclamations breathing the most cruel
spirit. We have received that of the mandarin-
governor of Whampoa, and we believe it will be use-
ful to publish this document, translated from the
Chinese. The proclamation to which we refer is as
follows : .

The ildlll2oWl foreigner' have dared to rail& the standard
of revolt sgainet the sublime and venerated authority of the
Emperor. They have attacked the city of Canton, with the
intent of committing it to San aa and have already received
the punishment that they deserve ; for our invincible troops
I have repelled them, and killed a large number of them.
Let them be attacked in all parts of the empire. Let every
Inhabitant of China who encounters an Englishman give
him the fate he deserves. Already our innumerable Sesta
already our great armies, renowned all over the world,
advance to expel them; let every body unite with them ; let
every one take part in the war and teach the foreigners to
tremble before, the will and the anger of our sovereign,
whose game bunts like the rays of the sun, and whose power
is alimitable.
He who obeys not these orders will be considered as •
traitor, and may expect from us a punishment as prompt
se It shall be terrible. You hear 1 Obey
Honest Whempos, the 9th of the 12th moon.
The Mandarin Governor,
Tcavx-Too.
Immediately (continues the Moniteur) this pro-
clamation appeared, the agitation amongst the popu-
lace was such, that the few Europeans who were in
the city thought it prudent to leave. The foreign
vessels moored in the roads or at Tchou-Kiang, a
river upon which great activity reigns, took to
sea with them. Whampoa is not one of the five ports
open to foreigners in virtue of treaties ; it is a port
situated about twelve miles from Canton, at which
vessels bound for the latter often cut anchor, in
order to take in water and provisions. Fhc procla-
mation of the mandarin at Whampoa, the correspon-
dent writes, is believed to be amongst the least
violent.

STANDARD.

Following a fashion which is now creeping in, the
lessee of this theatre anticipated Boxing-night by • morning
performance of his pantomime on Saturday at half-past 12
o'clock. The malt showed that there was good policy in the
mrengement, for the house was crammed in every part, not
only by the inhabitants of the neighbourhood, but by many
other persons who have heard of the positions/Wel this Ead-
end theatre has recently taken with regard to the clean of en-
tertainments which It presents to its audience, and who were
tempted into an excursion to *locality which may be con-
sidered to be on the borders of Essex, knowing that it would
be plementer to find themselves starting on their return
horse et four o'clock on Saturday afternoon than
at one on Sunday morning. The pantomime is
• good one; handaomely, indeed splendidly, got up; and
most excellently provided with ezecutaata It is sodded
Orate Ibryy, Adding and Pir: or, Harlequin Doldy
Long Legs, and turns, of course, on the adventures of the
hero of that nursery rhyme, who is, as usual, persecuted by
en
evil grain; and protected by a good fairy ; and there is
quite enough of his adventures to Serve the purpose of
grouping around him beautiful scenery and decoration, and
introdwing the average doggrel verse and abundance of pa-
rodies on popular songs. The earlier scene. were
taatefully deigned end well painted, working graduaftyap to
• really magnificent view of the golden lake and
fairy grove of glittering palms. As part of the
canticle of Oeorgy Porgy indicates his Mate " for kissing the
girls," advantage was taken of this propensity on his part to
being together a corps de ballet of fifty or slaty young lake,
who in this scene especially were made to do moat effective
service, their faces, forms, and drowse, being to artistically
arranged as to give soltnem and hue as well as a peculiar
pictorial beauty to an effect which might otherwise have been
