THE BANK.

By the return made by the Bank of England on the
31st January, it appeared that the stock of bullion in its
coffers now amounts to 18,215,1721., while the amount
of notes in circulation is 20,73i1,965/. The stock of
bullion is therefore little less than 2i millions
more than the whole Bank of England circulation!
Thursday was "settling day" on the Stock Exchange,
and the rate of "continuation" tor carrying over stock
to the next account was so low as to make the value of
money only from Ito l per cent. In the meantime,
except in gold mining shares, there is little speculation.
Men in the city who see the enormous mass
of gold lying idle in the Bank say that " some-
thing must be done." Government is evidently
unprepared to do anything, and is quite ignorant as to
the proper course to take, It is not improbable that
some expedient may be adopted to relieve the Bank, but
there appears to be a feeling that the standard should
not be interfered with, and that the " money power"
should be held to their bond. Such appears to
be the only " principle" at present elicited, viz.,
" monstrous injustice was committed in 1819 by raising
the value of money, and defrauding debtors, therefore
let us take advantage of the gold discoveries to injure
creditors in 1852—Iex talionis !" Events are fast hasten-
ing on the absolute necessity of a reconsideration and
revision of our monetary system. Let us have a com-
plete reform.—Derbyshire Courier.
London, England, 1852-02-18

THE NEW REFORM BILL.

An important Return has just been printed by order
of the House of Commons, which casts a strong light on
the probable operation of the new Reform Bill. It gives
us the present number of electors is every borough in
Great Britain; and it gives us the number of houses
rated to the relief of the poor in those boroughs. By
comparing these two sets of Sgures together, we may
form some reasonable computation of the result of the
proposed measure, so far as it is intended to augment the
constituencies of those boroughs.
The whole list is too long to be given; bat we will
extract from it some of the most important cases. In
the following boroughs, the present constituency is
placed side by side with the number of rated houses,
and thus we shall see the greatest present extension of
these electoral bodies.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

Flexinore's benefit last evening was a genuine
limper, every part of the house being completely
occupied by the rising of the curtain. That extraor-
dinary and entrancing drama The Corsican Brothers
prcduced the same unprecedented sensation on the
audience as it did on Tuesday night; and the panto-
mime, which has now passed its jubilee night, went
off with peculiar freshness and spirit. Miss
Leclercq and Cormack, who danced most admirably,
and indeed all concerned, seemed determined to put
forward their utmost powers in honour of the star of
the evening,. A very pretty little intermediate
ballet, entitled The Gipsy, arranged by Flexmere,
gave occasion for Madlle. Auriol's execution of the
Cracovienne and a spirited pas de deux with the
bencficiaire. Both dances were encored with flatter-
ing warmth. Madlle. Auriora Polish costume in the
former was singularly appropriate and becoming,
and her performance iu both was characterised by A
felicitous combination of activity ; and refinement.
Flexmore'a reception was what a seven years' estab-
Jibed favourite at this theatre might expect from its
frequenters. As our first pantomimist be is emi-
nently deierving
.of . public patronage, and it was
certainly dispensed to him last evening in the
heartiest: and most ample manner. By not over-
crowding the bill of fare, as is but-too often injudi-
ciously. done on benefit nights, the performances were
over at haS-pest eleven

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

ABERDEEN.—In opposition to Sir Andrew Leith Hay,
George Thompson, Esq., late provost of the city, has
come into the field. Mr. Thompson is an extensive ship-
owner, of Liberal political principles.
GLOUCEITER.—A canvass has been commenced on be-
half of Mr. W. P. Price, the head of the largest shipping
and timber-importing firms of Gloucester. Mr. Price is
a Liberal and Free-trader, and through his mercantile
connexion with Gloucester possesses a good deal of local
influence. It is understood that both the present Mem-
bers for Gloucester intend coming forward again. Ad-
miral Berkeley will again be a candidate; and Mr. H. T.
Hope announced at a recent public dinner held here, that
he should again offer himself'. Mr. Hope is a Conservative
Free-trader.
lIEREFORDSHIRE.—The three candidates in the field
are Mr. Booker, Mr. Hanbury, and Mr. King, Protec-
tionists. T. Evans, Esq., of Salton Court (Conserva-
tive Protectionist) has been solicited, but declines. It
is understood that Mr. Cornowall Lewis will again come
forward on the Liberal and Free-trade interest.

LEONINSTER.-Mr. J. P. Willoughby, brother of Sir
Henry Willoughby, M.P. for Evesham, has offered him-
self as a candidate for the representation of the borough
at the next election. Mr. Willoughby, in his address,
which is very lengthy, says—" I concur with those who
think that hostile tariffs are not to be contended against
by free imports; that we have acted injudiciously in
abolishing so hastily, and without any countervailing
measures, the protection formerly extended to British
capital and industry, and exposing it to the unrestricted
competition of the untaxed, or comparatively lightly
taxed, foreign producer; more especially I hold that
free-trade without reciprocity (the condition on which its
earliest advocates proposed and supported the experi-
ment) is suicidal, and destructive of the permanent in-
terests of the British empire." Mr. Peel will offer him-
self again as a candidate, as also will Mr. Arkwright.
TEVIKESBUR.Y.-Mr. Cox, the now Conservative can-
didate, who offered himself last week, has been actively
pursuing his canvass, and Mr. Humphrey Brown, one
of the sitting Members, has issued en address to the
electors soliciting renewed confidence, and affirming his
politics to be Liberal ail free-trade.

THE BANBURY MURDER.

The only link in the chain of evidence which was ap-
parently wanting to bring home the charge of the mur-
der of his uncle to the prisoner Kalabergo has just
been supplied. The pistol with which it is believed the
murder was committed has been found. Great search
had been ineffectually made. The canal had been amptied,
the river searched, the millers having let down the water
for the purpose, and the ground near the spot where
the murder was committed traversed over and over
again, but all in vain. On Monday last two young
men, sons of Mr. D. Newton, a constable of Nnithrop,
determined to make another effort. In a ditch., about
400 yards from the spot, and which had in it but little
water, they found what appeared to be a coat.. They
dragged it out with some difficulty, as a portion of it
was fast in the mud at the bottom of th.e ditch.

some news from Lisbon, announcing the arrival there,
on the 16tb, of the Count DE THOMAR, ex-President

erroneously stated bad been prohibited from returning
to Portugal. The Count arrived in the English
steamer, and on landing was warmly congratulated
by his friends.

Mr. HO WARD, Surgeon Dentist, 52, Fleet-street, has la-

TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. 'They so per-

originals by the closest observer; they will. never editing° colour or
decay, and will be found superior to any teeth ever before used.
This method does not require the extraction-of roots, or any painful
operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and
is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication; and that Mr.
Howard's improvement may be within reach of the most economical,
he has fixed his charges at the lowest scale possible. Decayed teeth

otherwise, which, if neglected, frequently end in stone in thebladder

A visit from Father Mathew appears to be sadly
wanted in the Danish capital, if we are to judge by
a letter from Copenhagen, which we fins given in
Galignani. It says, " The police of this city pub-
lishes every year an account of the number of per-
sons found drunk in the streets. In the year 1851
the number of men taken up drunk was 591, and
of women 150, a total which gives an increase of 73
over 1850, and •f 92 over 1849."

Dearsley defended the prisoner.
The facts of the case have been so recently before
the public, that it is hardly necessary to recapittr
late them. The prosecutor is the proprietor of sothe
chemical works, and the prisoner had been in hie env
ploy. On the 11th of February the prosecutor heard e
noise in his factory after it had been closed.foi,th„e
night, and upoa going in to ascertain the cause or '"
and he retreated in a state of great alarm. He
some one threw a quantity of vitriolic liquid upon hiell
for asaistance, and a next-door neighbour promPtlYre-
plied to the call. 'The two then returned to the factori
together, and pursued the prisoner up a ladder into a
sort of loft, when the prisoner fired two pistols at the
prosecutor, a-rid the balls grazed his shoulder. The Prii
sonar was immediately atterwnrds secured, and one
the pistols, the barrel of which was quite warm, Ives
found in his hands. A policeman was then called int
and the prosecutor, prefacing the question with a st'e;
ment that some acid had been thro,,n into his face, en'
afterwards fired at, asked " if it was not a hanging rout-
ter," and the prisoner exclaimed, " Ah, and I shall bang
well too." The policeman then took the prisoner to tbde
callen
station-house, and on the way there a woman hande
the officer a black mask, which she said belonged re
him, rod ho had thrown it away. On arriving at t%
station he was searched, and four pieces oi lead and sal,:
piato/...
percussion caps that fitted the nipple of the
wero found in his trowser pockets. A bullet sy. e 9
at the bottom of the ladder, but although the polie.e;
man made a minute examination of the premises, °
marks of a tired bullet could be found, either upon tlii
floor or walls of the warehouse.
Mr. EARSLEY addressed the jury for the defee.6e. 1
D
and commented upon the glaring discrepancies which the
case presented. It was said the first bullet struck a ee'Le
dlestiek, which the prosecutor carried in his band, but
that
candlestick was not fortbcoinii,g, nor did it appear ,
any made bad been found which could have beea rr°,
ducv(l. The ball, however, was produced, and tl3 ju_je,
would see that it was quire impossible that it could. rays,
been fired from a pistol. But there was DO IDOW.here,
signed for the committal of this offence, and '
lit'ounded
fire insisted that the case was too much bUrre
thee',
with improbabilities to jindify a conviction, and b 80,,r
fore called upon the jury either to acquit the p,
:woiothi;
altogether, or to find_him guilty of simply
out the capital intent, i
.n other words, to convict him
of a common assault.
