LONDON, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1855.

The stocks of bullion in the Bank coffers and
of notes in circulation are gradually but steadily
diminishing. The demand for money, even at the
extravagant rates demanded by the Bank and
the discount houses, is of a peculiarly urgent cha-
racter—not merely to supply existing wants, but
rather as fitting preparation for the exigencies of
" the hard times coming," when the confusion
and panic of 1847 may be witnessed on an en-
larged scale, and 'when perfectly solvent houses
may be unable to obtain notes in exchange for
even first-class securities. None of the evils
against which the stringent enactments of the Act
of 1844 were intended to guard are in opera-
tion. Never was our domestic trade and com-
merce in a healthier position, save in one re-
spect. It is not the curb, but the spur
that is required. Encouragement should be
afforded, but, in place thereof, cold water
is thrown on every effort ; and it is almost
impossible to obtain the means of carrying
on the legitimate operations of industry, except
on the most exorbitant and ruinous terms. Nor
is this all—prices are still extravagantly high, as
every man earning his daily bread by his daily
labour knows by painful experience, and there-
fore the anticipated effect cannot be produced as
on former
occasions. We cannot hope by forced
cheapness to attract foreign capital to our shores,
so as to change thecurreut that has set in so steadily
and rapidly against this country.
The conventional remedy having wholly failed,
is it not of vital importance to lose no time in
trying one of a very different character, that may
possibly prove more efficacious that in former
times enabled the country t,„
overcome far
greater difficulties, and safely to weather the
torm ? If the great and all-important
question were to bo decided on its merits
—if it could be decided without fear, pre-
judice, favour, or affection, there could be but
little, if any, doubt as to the result. But, unfor-
tunately, there are too many interested parties,
who seek to improve the opportunity at the ex-
pense of the great body of the people, who look to
their own private and peculiar interests rather
than the national welfare. Every delay which
they can accomplish increases their wealth, and
therefore every device leading to procrastination
may be anticipated. But will the People still ex-
hibit the same deplorable apathy and indifference?
Will they still wilfully dose their
eyes to the
manner in which they have been victimised .
ictsed ? We
hope not. The exigencies of the case have excited

attention even in the bullionist camp, and the very
leaders are already arming themselves for the con-
test, which they perceive to be inevitable.
Yesterday a letter appeared in the Times columns,
under the signature " Mercator," a well-known
" nom de plume," under which it is generally
believed Lord OVERSTONE, who, as Mr. JONES
LLOYD, was the putative parent of the Act of
1844, published his lucubrations. Such a cham-
pion would not have entered the arena under
ordinary circumstances. At former times the
bullionists were contented to treat all
attacks with contempt, to pooh pooh the
arguments that were offered against their hobby;
aid the energetic character of the defence which
they have organised proves beyond the possibility
of doubt the serious estimate which they have
formed of the actual difficulties of their position.
" Mercator" earnestly deprecates any inter-
ference with the Act of 1844 until at least it has
done its work, and brought the anticipated crisis
to a climax. He tells us that " the high rate of
interest is only the indicator of the value of capita.'"
This is the cant phrase, the conventional platitude
under which the parties so deeply interested at-
tempt to veil their unpatriotic schemes. It is
not from the want of real wealth that the nation
is thus placed at the mercy of the moneyocracy.
All that is required is a relaxation of the artificial
restrictions that have been imposed, restric-
tions utterly incompatible with existing conditions.
We want a currency suited for our domestic
trade, ;while affording every reasonable
facility for foreign commerce, gold being rendered
an article of merchandise, as it ought to be. By
the employment of really national notes of small
denominations, 11., 21., and 3/. each, 40,000,000
to 50,000,000 sovereigns, which at present act
merely as counters, would be liberated, and the
gold available for the proper maintenance of the
War would at once be rendered applicable
for its legitimate use. This remedy would
be perfect ; but to be beneficial it should be
promptly applied. Let the monetary reformers
consider this, and redouble their exertions to pre-
serve their country from the serious calamities
that must ensue if judicious measures be unduly
postponed. It is a time for decided action, and
we must repeat the injunction which we have so
frequently put forward—" Agitate ! Agitate ! !
Agitate ! ! !"

The reception of the King of SARDINIA by the
population of Dover and London has, as we pre-
dicted been of the most enthusiastic description,
One that no prestige of rank or territorial great-
ness could have ensured, but a spontaneous and
unstinted homage to the virtues of the individual,.
Of the man who, succeeding to an Italian throne,
had dared to throw down his gauntlet, buckle on
his armour, and enter the lists with France and
England in the cause of liberty and civilisation.
A monarch, it is true, who has acted as he has
done, who has set before him as his highest aim,
not his personal aggrandisement, or the exaltation
of petty dynastic interests, but the real welfare
of his people, and the moral and intellectual de-
velopment of the nations of Europe, will find in
the approval of his own conscience his best reward;
but VICTOR EJIMANIFEL must have been something
more, or rather less than human, if his heart did
not beat with intense satisfaction as he witnessed
the dense crowds of free men and women congre-
gated to meet him, and listened to the loud and
prolonged cheers with which they hailed his ap-
pearance. The homage of slaves he is well aware
can be had to order, and resolves itself into the
gift 3 of the despot who can command it. ; but the-
homage of free men, of the high-minded people of
England, is of another sort, and knowing this,
there can be no doubt his MAJESTY prizes it ac-
cordingly. It is not as they received him that they
would recognise the presence of a Prussian Prince,
or a Coburg Duke, a Belgian King, or a German
despot among them, but with contemptuous in-
difference or loud expressions of disapproval ; and
it is earnestly to be desired that his Majesty will
derive from the fact all the encouragement it is
so well calculated to give.

As our readers will have learnt, the working men
of the metropolis were among the foremost to do
him homage. What to them was the loss of a
dinner in comparison with doing honour to the
glorious cause of liberty and civilisation ? What
to the representatives of the workers of the world
dry throats, empty stomachs, and the loss of a
little time in comparison with the loss of an op-
portunity like this ? Delighted with pluck in
any form, it was not likely British workmen were
going to let a trifle stand in the way of showing
their admiration of the monarch who had
exhibited so much in endeavouring to secure his
people's happiness, and to withstand the aggres-
sions of a Power in whose dark shade there may
be human beings but can be no People. And so it
was—they whose stalwart frames and pliant muscles
have achieved miracles at which the world
wonders testified by their presence and truly
British cheers that, with the skill to frame and
the strength to execute, there was the great Eng-
lish heart that has ever beat for freedom, and
shall yet throb with exultation over• liberated
Europe.

The more subdued, though not less cordial,
greeting of the members of the middle and upper
classes assembled along the line of route was souse-
thing to be proud of ; but the enthusiastic cheers of
our workmen, topped by the piercing treble of chil-
dren's voices, was something to inspire a consti-
tutional king and a national ally with confidence.
It demonstrated beyond all dispute that freedom
is prolific of the most generous sympathies, that
a free people are grateful for freedom conceded to
o
others, and that an ally of England, in the cause
of liberty, may rely on lever being forsaken.
When the foundations are unsound the noblest
structure cannot be relied on ; but when a cause,
honoured by all classes in this country, is espe-
cially so by the lower, the might of England must
pass away before it will be suffered to fail. Not
only, however, on his first reception, but through-
out his entire visit, is his MAJESTY likely to de-
rive encouragement to proceed in the
Everywhereglorioush
e
course on which he has entered.
will witness what civil and religious liberty can
effect, and how steadfast that Monarch's ground
of confidence is whose chief earthly trust is in
the affection of her subjects. He will see
well able to maintain order, and yet advance
steadily with the times, they are who in effect
make laws and have them administered for them-
selves ; and whatever may strike his eye as
susceptible of improvement in any quarter,
he will learn can be remedied without risk of
anarchy or confusion. We cannot, to be sure,
Parade a great army before him, but we can show
him the record of gallant deeds, and, what is more
than military
Pomp, a contented people, loving
their Monarch, and
guarding as a precious inheri-
tance their time-honoured institutions. All this,
and more, he will have the opportunity of wit-
nessing or learning before his departure, ere which
yet more enthusiastic greetings and yet further
honours await him.

VISIT OF THE KING OF SARDINIA
TO ENGLAND.

WINDSOR, Nov. 80.—The King of Sardinia arrived at
the Castle, on a visit to the Queen, at a quarter past 2
o'clock this afternoon. Her Majesty received her illus-
trious guest on alighting from his carriage at the grand
entrance. The Queen was accompanied by the Prince
of Wales, the Princess Royal, Prince Alfred, and the
Princess Alice, and was attended by the Duchess of
Sutherland, and the Ladies in Waiting, the officers of
State of her Household, and the Gentlemen in Waiting.
The Duke of Cambridge, Viscount Palmerston, and the
Earl of Clarendon were also at the Grand entrance.

The King wore a Hussar uniform, dark blue, with
silver appointments.
The royal cortege from the railway station to the Castle
comprised several open carriages with outriders in scarlet
liveries, and an escort of the 2d Life Guards, under the
command of Lieutenant• Colonel Ogilvy. The band of
the 2d Life Guards was on duty in state uniforms on
the top of the Castle-bill.
The King of Sardinia and her Majesty the Queen
passed up the'grand staircase, followed by Prince Albert,
the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, Prince Alfred,
the Princess Alice, and the Duke of Cambridge, and
were conducted by the great officers of state to one of
the state rooms, where the Queen and Prince presented
to his Majesty the ladies and gentlemen of their court,
and the King introduced the noblemen and gentlemen
of his suite to the Queen and Prince. His Majesty sub-
sequently proceeded to his apartments, which consist of
the Queen's state drawing-room, the old ball-room, the
Queen's closet, and the King's closet.
In the afternoon the King, with the Queen and Prince
Albert, and the Duke of Cambridge, visited the Duchess
of Kent at her residence, Frogmore.

At half-past four o'clock the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs
of the City of London arrived at the Castle. Alderman
and Sheriff Kennedy and Alderman and Sheriff Rose,
accompanied by the City Remembrancer, had an audi-
ence of the King, to ask on what day his Majesty
would receive an address of congratulation from the Lord
Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the City of London,
in Common Council assembled.

The King was pleased to appoint Tuesday next for the
reception of the address, and accepted the invitation of
the Corporation.
A deputation from the Young Men's Christian Asso-
ciation of London bad an audience of the King, when
the Ron. Arthur Kinnaird, M.P., read the following
address :
May it please your Majesty—The Young Men's Chris-
tian Association of London, and the Young Men's Socie-
ties' Union of the Presbyterian Church in England, would
desire, in common with other classes of British subjects, to
approach your Majesty with most humble and enthusiastic
greeting on your arrival on English soil as the ally and guest
of their beloved Queen. They welcome your Majesty as the
representative of that land which in their classic halls and
artistic studies they havelearned to love and to admire as the
birthplace of many of the most celebrated masters in the arts
and sciences. They hail you as the bold advocate and uncom-
promising defender of civil and religious liberty in your
realms, the sparks of which will lighten the beneficent
flame of intelligence and progress throughout Italy. The
youth of England recognise in your Majesty the best
friend of Italian youth, assured that under your wise ;,o-
vernment education will progress, religion will flourish,
prosperity will be promoted, and general happiness will
ensue. They have heard with exultation of your noble
resolution to establish and consolidate constitutional
liberty throughout your States. They have heartily ap-
plauded your firmness in vindicating the sovereignty of
states in matters ecclesiastical and civil, and they have
admired the constancy and wisdom shown by your minis-
ters and parliament, as well as the patriotism of your peo-
ple, in appreciating as we do the blessings of freedom,
order, and constitutional rights. They seize this auspici-
ous opportunity of testifying their best wishes for your
Majesty's welfare, and their hope that success may crown
all your efforts tending to the extension of Christian civili-
sation. They reverently commend your person and family
to the protection and blessing of God, and pray that not
the Sardinian States alone, but the whole of Italy, may
experience a great, a true, and a solid progress ; that as
she exercises a magic influence by her classical lore, her
wondrous monuments, and her natural beauties, she may
also be distinguished by the growing nobleness, piety, and
virtues of her people, by all that dignifies a nation and re-
dounds to the advantage of the world.

His Majesty was graciously pleased to return the fol-
lowing answer :
Gentlemen,—l am very grateful to you for the demon-
stration of sympathy which you have been pleased to give
me on the part of the Christian Association formed by the
young men of London and the Young Men's Societies of
the English Presbyterian Church, with other subjects of
her Britannic Majesty. You have been pleased to allude iu
your address to the encouragement which I have bestowed
on the arts and sciences of eny country. The development
of the arts and sciences is an essential condition of the
prosperity and moral advancement of a nation, and does
not fall to form one of the most constant and special cares
of my reign. This development can only take place under
the protection of a just liberty and the spirit of civil and
religious freedom. The artistic treasures of Italy render
the task of civil advancement you have imposed on your-
selves more easy for us. The education which you have in
view develop° the intellect, and permits it to appreciate at
their true value the marvels of which past centuries have
been so lavish towards us. Such education disperses pre-
judices existing between nations ; and I confidently hope
that our hospitality will never be wanting towards you. I
very sincerely desire the success of the association which
you vepresent.
The Queen gave a dinner in the evening in St.
*George's Hall.

' jesty the King of Sardinia, the Duchess of Kent, the
Princess Royal, the Duke of Cambridge, the Duchess of
Sutherland, the Duke of Wellington, the Marquis
