CORN EXCHANGE.
The present week's arrivals of English wheat, coastwise
and by land carriage, have been tolerably good; but the
show of samples in to-day's market was very moderate.
On the whole, the demand ruled steady, at Monday's
prices ; but the amount of business done was far from ex-
tensive.
There was a fair inquiry for foreign wheat—the imports
of which are over 10,000 quarters—and the quotations
were well supported.
We had a steady inquiry for barley and malt, at full
currencies.
The supply of oats was good. The oat trade was inac-
tive, at late rates. Beans, peas, and flour sold steadily
at Monday's quotations. The imports of the latter article
are over 12,000 sacks, chiefly from Spain.

THE MONETARY SYSTEM.

A meeting of several gentlemen, specially invited by
the Mayor, was held on Tuesday evening, at the Ex-
change, Nottingham, to confer with John M. Knott,
Esq., of Kenilworth, on the above important subject.
The Mayor, who took the chair, having requested Mr.
Knott to open the question, he addressed the meeting to
the following effect : —The period is at band on which
the Government should give notice regarding the discon-
tinuance of the Bank of England Charter Act ; and it be-
hoves all those who are most interested, including manu-
facturers, tradesmen, and professional men to be on the
alert to procure a supply of suitable money, and a suffi-
ciency of it, to meet the requirements of production
and commerce, and to put an end to the pre-
sent fluctuating and crushing system—introduced
in 1819, and completed in 1844. It wag affirmed
that our National Debt and large indirect taxation
do not consist with metallic money of intrinsic value
at the price of the world, and therefore the exist-
ence for many years in this country of Bank of England
and country bank notes. This principle of relief, it was
shown, had been so seriously obstructed by this tamper-
ing of public men in the periods referred to as to create
great pecuniary embarras,ments. It was shown that the
proportions of currency to population in Great Britain
ranged thus in the years specified :

Porm-
lation.

1 Ind 'otes. Scotch ,ores.

In 1818 14 mllions. 28 millions. 23 million 4.
H 34 21 millions. 20 iniiliong. 11 millions.

Total.
51 ml liotr
31 millions,

would be made for the purchase of corn without the
pressure now experienced.
Mr. T. H. SMITH observed that as the fair remits of
legislative inquiry had been defeated, he would propose
that every ,ffoit should be made to prevent the act of
1844 being renewed.
After some discussion, it was resolved on the motion
of Mr. FELKIN seconded by Mr. SMITH, " That our at-
tention having been directed to the fact that the Bank
Charter will be continued in operation unless notice of
its discontinuance be given to the Government this year,
it is the opinion of this meeting that it would be both
inexpedient, unsafe, and unwise, to renew the Bank
Charter Act of 1844, and we resolve that we will do all
we can to resist its renewal by petitioning the Legislature
against it,
as well as by calling public attention to its
evils."

The resolution having been put by the MAYOR, it was
carried unanimously.
Mr. FELKIN and Mr. Surrrt then proposed and se-
conded a vote of thanks to Mr. Knott for his able and
interesting address ; and Mr. Knott having returned
thanks the meeting closed, with an understanding that
the gentlemen present constitute a committee to carry
out the object of the resolution.

LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 18, 1855.

The resignation of General CANROBERT, which I
we this day announce, will b© hailed with satis-
faction by a large proportion of the public.
Whatever may have been his merits or demerits
as Commander-in-Chief of the French forces
before Sebastopol, thin much is eurtaln—lie was
unsuccessful; and the ardent friendship he had con-
tracted for Lord RAGLAN afforded an argument for
the retention of that brave, but woefully incom-
petent, General in command. General CAN-
ZOBERT gone, Lord RAGLAN must infallibly follow.
His Lordship's blunders have been so many, and
have been productive of such serious results, that
this cannot possibly take place too soon. In a
word, he should be recalled at once, for now
none but the flimsiest excuses can be urged
against the step. Would to HEAVEN it
had been taken earlier 1 Then, instead of our
troops dying piecemeal, cooped up like rats in a
trap, in all probability they would have been led
on against the enemy, and, after beating them in
the field, found in the rear of the routed Russians
a practicable highway into Sebastopol ! CANRO-
BERT resigned—NEssELßoDE resigned—what is it
but war to the knife ? France answers Russia
nobly ! Let not England be silent nor answer
less nobly.

SMITHFIELD.
To-day's market was well supplied with beasts; all kinds
met a dull sale, at a decline in the prices obtained on Mon-
day of 24. per 81bs. There was less activity in the sale for
sheep than on Monday, yet that day's advance in the quo-
tations was supported. Lambs were in good supply, and
active request, at very full prices. Some small calves
moved off freely at active rates, but inferior veal met a
dull inquiry. In pigs, scarcely any business was doing.
Mulch cows were steady, at from 141. to 19/. lower, includ-
ing their small calf.

THE MW TETAIiY SYSTEM.

A meeting of severs 1 gentlemen, specially invited by
the Mayor, was held . ?n Tuesday evening, at the Ex-
change Nottingham, t o confer with John M. Knott,
Esq., of Kenilworth, on the above important subject.
The Mayor, who took the chair, having requested Mr.
Knott to open the questi on, he addressed the meeting to
the following effect : —T. h e period is at hand on which
the Government should gi r e notice regarding the discon-
tinuance of the Bank of Eni ;land Charter Act ; and it be-
hoves all those who are mus t interested, including manu-
facturers, tradesmen, and pi mfevional men to be on the
alert to procure a supply of suitable money, and a suffi-
ciency of it,. to meet the requirements of production
and commerce, and to put an end to the pre-
sent fluctuating and cr tutting system—introduced
in 1819, and completed in 1844. It was affirmed
that our National Debt : Ind large indirect taxation
do not consist with meta) lic money (-if intrinsic value
at the price of the wort d, and therefore the exist-
ence for many years in this country of Bank of England
and country bank notes. 1 'his principle of relief, it was
shown, had been so seriousl v obstructed by this tamper-
ing of public men in the psi 7iods referred to as to create
great pecuniary embarrassm, ?tits. It was shown that the
proportions of currency to population ,in Great Britain
ranged thus in the years epa cited

pressure now expPrienced.-
Mr. T. H. SMITH observed that as the fair resu;ts of
legislative inquiry bad been defeated, he would propose
that every + ffoit should be made t 5 prevent the act of
1844 being renewed.
After some discussion, it was resolved on the motion
of Mr. FELKIN, seconded by Mr. SMITH, " That our at-
tention baying been directed to the fact that the Bank
Charter will be continued in operation unless notice of
its discontinuance he given to the Government this year,
it is the opinion of this meeting that it would be both
inexpedient, unsafe, and unwise, to renew the. Bank
Charter Act of 1844, and we resolve that we will do all
we can to resist its renewal by petitioning the Legislature
agair-t it, as well as by calling public attention to its
evils."

The resolution having been put by the MAYOII, it was
carried unanimously.
Mr. FUXIN and Mr. SMITH then proposed and se-
conded a vote of thanks to Mr. Knott for his able and
interesting adiress ; and Mr. Knott having returned
thanks the meeting closed, with an understanding that
the gentlemen present constitute a 'committee to carry
out the object of the resolution.

`"'UFFICERS' WIDOWS.

Captain KNOX asked: tjk'e First Lord of the Tr oasury
whether any provisionhtWbeen made, and to vi ex-
tent, for the
,widows of officers who had fallen t.. died
in the service of the Crown during the present wa.':•?

Mr. PEEL said, by the regulations now in iorce,
widows of officers were entitled to pensions, and i t was
intended to extend that favour.

DISTRIBUTION OF MEDALS TO-MORE OW.

Mr. STANLEY asked her Majesty's Government if
any accommodation was to be provided for member of the
House of Commvps, to enable them to witness the
interesting ceremony of her Majesty presenting t e Cri-
mean medals on Friday at the Horse Guards, an winA
facilities would be given to the public ?

Mr. WIALSON replied there was accommodatv?r being
provided for viewing the exhibition —(laug•htr: I—to-
morrow ; but they were- principally intended for adie9.
However, accommodatiA wduld be provided for me,n-
bers of the house, who woulit receive their tickets this
evening. - _ _

Mr. VANCE—WiII members' tickets be transferable
to ladies ? (Laughter and cheers.)
Mr. WlLSON—Mentlsers may do what they like
with their tickets.

RUSSIA.

The following is a full synopsis of the Russian
despatch of the 30th of April laA, 'addressed to M
de Glinka, the Russian Representative at the Court
of Darmstadt and at the Diet of Frankfort :

It commences by staring that the Conferences
had arrived at a point when it would depend upon
the "Western Powers whether the negotiations
would lead to any result or not. It was therefore
advisable to consider the precie state of the ques-
tion, especially as regards the first two points.
The despatch then indicates the interpretation
of the two points as resulting from the protocols of
the Conference I. to V., pointing out the conde-
scension of Russia which contributed to that solu-
tion.

To become binding that solution would require
consecration by a treaty. Should the Conferences
be broken off nothing could oblige the Powers that
took part therein to maintain the interpretation.
Russia, nevertheless, regards the understanding
agreed upon respecting the two points as a useful
and acquired result, to which the assent of both
parties had been given.
As those two points concern particularly German
interests, this declaration, in disengaging:those in-
terests, ought to confirm the States of Germany in
their determination to remain strangers to the
struggle, and to maintain a strict neutrality.
The Russian Envoy is requested to communicate
the despatch to the German Envoys at the German
Diet, to be communicated by them to their respec-
tive Courts:

THE MEDITERRANEAN.

MALTA, MAY 9.

During the last two days several sailing trans-
ports, with horses, have come in ; among them,
the Kent, Prince Alfred, and Enoch. They go on
directly. We have several boats in to-day, but
little news. Lord Wharncliffe and family have
arrived to-day from Alexandria, and go on this
evening by way of Naples. Colonel Heyland goes
up with a division. The Cyclops and Firebrand
leave here on Satut day for Balaklava. There are
reports that there has been a case of piracy, and a
ship sunk on the coast of Syria, but the particu-
lars I cannot yet ascertain. We have about 800
men encamped outside the town.
