Iy appears from these returns that the metallic reserve
has increased at Paris 7 millions, and in the provinces
42i millions. The account current of the Treasury has
increased from 73 to 121 millions, evidently inconse-
quence of the money received from the subscriptions to
the loan. The whole of the metallic reserve amounts at
present to 4221 millions, to 837 millions of notes in cir-
culation.

THE AFFAIRS OF MR. JOHN ATTWooD.—A meeting
of the creditors of Mr. J. Attwood, whose embarrasr-
ruents in consequence of speculations in pig iron were
msde known about two years ago, was held at the
Hotel, Dudley, yesterday ; but, as the meeting was
considered private, the representatives of the press were
exeuded.

SUSPENDED STALLS IN CATEEDEAL AND COLLEGIATE
CHURCHES.—Yesterday a return to the House of Com-
mons (obtained by Mr. Ewart), was printed, from which
it appeared that since April, 1853, thero Las been paid
to the ecclesiastical commissioners the sum of 80,103/.
is. 6d. on account of suspended stalls in cathedral and
collegiate churches.
DEFENCE OF THE PORT OF LIVERPOOL.—It is the in-
tention of Government to construct another large battery
on the Cheshire side of the Mersey immediately, OR the
site of the old powder magazines at Liscard. This, withhe new
the old neck Battery at New Brighton, a
one north of the Huskisson Dock, on the Liverpoolnd t side,
will ivake three defensible batteries ; and
lajoPmtaitteeeatien
has also been made to the Liverpool Doc
for sites for three additional batteries on the Lancashire
side Of the riyer.

Later in the evening the noble Marquis, speaking to
the toast of " the Land we Live in," remarked :
" There is no single thing in the world so hard as for a
man to do his ditty. (Cheers.) You are expected by men
to do it, but recollect how much higher a call is upon
you. God expects you to do your duty, aid when you
measure it by that great standard how very short do you
come of that perfection which is required I For myself
and my dear wife, I need not remind you that we aro
a family party ; here we know no strangers. And
when I think of that I cannot but think of Sir Colin
Campbell, when he led the Highland Brigade upon the
heights of the Alma. (Cheers.) Sir Cohn Campbell
said, We'll hae vane but Heelan' bonnets here'—(re-
newed applause)—so, my friends, when we were to be
here I thought I would have you, and be in the midst of
you with my 'ain wifey,' and that I would have nine
here but just our ain folk.' (Great applause.) Here is
security for your farms and improvements, as I know
the fall is at your doors. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, if I fail it
is with you. It is for no object lam saying so ; Ima
not discussing any new opinion or fresh conviction on
that subject—the much mooted subject of tenant•right.
My impression is that a change has come over all of ne
since this question was mooted —not that it is less valu-
able—not that it does not remain as an ore in the earth,
to be worked out ; but I do think that during the pre-
sent state of things, it is our duty to sink all questions in
the common consideration of the country's welfare—the
necessity of forming a strong and efficient Government,
and obeying olio common object—that of supporting the
Queen. (Cheers,) I bad but one object in supporting
the tenant-right question, which was marked by my
votes in Parliament, and which lost me my position in
this country ; but from these principles I will not depart.
(Cheers.) I am afraid you may be flattered without
reason, and that you may imagine I have taken such a
great interest in your welfare that I do not think of my
own ; but I would sot have been as I always was, for
affording security to the farmer to lay out his money on
the land if I was net sure it was the best thing for me—
(cheers)—therefore, you have not mere seeking for popu-
larity on my part, but I have indicated a motive which
all have in view, as I am fully convinced the landlord has
the greatest interest in the outlay of money in the soil.
You are all sharp, clever, and shrewd men. I know I
am not talking to men who are unable to weigh every
word I speak--who will allow their hearts alone, and
not their understanding, to be addressed, but I arm
speaking to your understanding when I say that if the
farmer lass good timn now, there may be a time of re-
verse. (Hear.) War has come, and it has brought its
consequences with. it. Every interest, or very nearly
every interest, in the country is suffering. The farmers
(alone arm doing any good, and may God blsss the
armor ! (Cheers.)"

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

WINDSOR.

Yesterday morning, the chairman of Lord C. Welles-
ley's committee at the general election in 1852 received
a letter from his the effect that the almost
total absence of sight, umEr which the noble lord is still
suffering, renders it impo,isible for Lim t) discharge his
Parlfirm-wary duties, and that ho had made up his mind.
to vacate his scat f,r Windsor by accepting the Chiltern
lluinredq on an early day. Scarcely had this commn-
uicat:no been made pubic when it eras announced that
the new writ had been moved for at the early sittings of
the House of Commons. Before this latter fact was ge-
nerally known, Mr. G. W. Hope, accompanied by Mr.
Leslie Melville (the resident partner of the Windsor
Bunt: and
B brewery), had made a partial canvass of the
• -
town, and at five o'clock in the afternoon, his address,
offering himself as• a Liberal-Conservative candidate,
was issued. Mr. Hope is the nephew of Lady Montagu,
and cousin to the Duke of Buccleuch, which will ac-
count for the address being dated from Ditton Park, in
this neighbourhood, one of the many seats possessed by
his grace, and now occupied by Lady Montagu. Mr.
Hope was returned for Weymouth in 1837, in opposi-
tion to the late Sir Thomas Fovvell Buxton, and will
secure on the present occasion the cordial support of the
Conservative party. It is understood that Mr. Samson
Ricardo, of Titness-park, Sunninghill, who contested.
this borough against Lord Charles Wellesley in 1852,
will be in the field to-morrow.
