The question of granting passports to Don
CARLOS appears, from the Paris journals of
Thursday, to occupy the serious consideration of
the French Cabinet. The CourrierFrancais asserts
that the KING and Marshal SOULT are in favour
of setting the Pretender at liberty ; although the
Marshal is so far in favour of yielding to the wishes
of England, whose right to interfere he frankly ad-
mits, as by the quadruple treaty she bears half the
engagements of France, as to express a readiness to
delay the passports till the telegraph announces the
first defeat of CABRERA by the army under Es-
PARTERO. This shameful willingness on the part
of Lours PHILIPPE to sacrifice the repose of con-
stitutional Spain, is attributed to an anxiety to con-
ciliate the goodwill of Austria, whose leaning towards
England gives umbrage to certain petty French
politicians, whose minds are too grovelling, and
whose views are too contracted to permit them to
comprehend any question of foreign policy in all
its bearings. The correspondent of a Morning
Contemporary, writing from Bordeaux under date
of the 13th instant, states that some Carlist papers
have just fallen into the hands of the French Go-
vernment, which may have the effect of very mate-
rially modifying the future measures of the Cabinet
with respect to the Pretender and his family.
One of these papers is entitled the " Re-
port of a conversation between a powerful Monarch
of the North (the Autocrat of all the Russias),
and a Carlist Envoy," and from the outline of its
contents given by the writer, will prove anything
but palatable to the vanity of the CITIZEN KING
and his Cabinet. " You tell me," said the
Emperor NICHOLAS, addressing the Carlist Emis-
sary, " that you were well received at Vienna, and
that Prince METTERNICH gave you every hope of
assistance. The Austrian Government is not to
be trusted. Vulnerable on the side of Italy, Aus-
tria is afraid of France, and of her ideas; she de-
clined joining me against that country in 1830 ;
and unless I succeed in arraying the whole of
the rest of Monarchical Europe against the
invasions of Jacobinism, Austria will stand
aloof. The throne of Prussia is now occupied by
an old marl, who cannot be awakened to a sense of
the danger with which Royalty is, and has been
menaced ever since 1830. His spirits have been
broken by adeetsity, and he wishes to spend the
remainder of his life in repose. His Ministers have
betrayed me and are now on the best terms with
France. Don CARLOS, and the principle which we
defend, have nothing to expect from Prussia until the
Prince Royal be seated on the throne. In him I have
every confidence : c'est tine bonne epee. Holland
is precisely in the same predicament : the old
King is a mere shopkeeper and a miser ; he, I
am sure, made you fine promises, but that is all

LORD EBRINGToN.—A meeting of the inhabitants of
Exeter was held in the Guildhall, on Thursday, for the
purpose of agreeing to an address of congratulation to
the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, on his successful go-
vernment of the sister island and his temporary return
to his native county. The Mayor was in the chair, arid
the meeting was attended by all parties without distinc-
tion. The address having been unanimously agreed to,
it was signed by the Mayor on behalf of the meeting,
and a resolution passed that the Chief Magistrate should
communicate with Lord Ebrington, in order that his
Lordship might signify the time and place far receiv-
ing it.

We understand that Sir Erlward Codrington is to be
appointed to the command at Portsmouth, in the room
of Admiral Fleming.

THE ACCIDENT AT BATTERSEA.—FUR-
TDER PARTICULARS.—Tuesday last, a party of noble-
men and gentlemen met to have some .pigeon shooting,
viz., Lord Alford, Captain Macdonald, Sir Chas. Kmt,
and a Mr. Lovell, who is a Lieutenant in the First Re-
giment of Life Guards. The last named gentleman had
got the but end of his gun on one of the seats in the
enclosure, and both hands holding the barrels, bearing
part of his weight on the same, when, unfortunately,
the gun slipped from the chair, the cock of which curie
so violently in contact with the edge of the seat that it
broke the tumbler of the lock, and the gun went off,
and, we regret to state, the charge passed through the
under part of the arm and out at the shoulder. He was
immediately carried by his friends to the Red House,
and in one hour after the accident, Mr. Liston, the sur-
geon, was in attendance, and also the surgeon of the
regiment, Mr. Campbell. The nature of the accident
being so high up the arm, it was obliged to be taken out
of the socket, which was done in the most skilful man-
ner. Mr. Lovell now lies at the Red House. Mr.
Campbell has not left Mr. Lovell since the accident.
He is doing as well as can be expected.

deceived me in the grossest manner, and that was
one of the reasons I left him to his fate. On
hearing of his intention to set aside the Constitu-
tional Charter, I sent him one of my Aides-de-
Camp to remonstrate against his resolution. I en-
deavoured to dissuade him, if such was really his
determination, from having recourse to violence. I
pointed out the various means afforded by the Char-
ter itself for arriving at his ends. I recommended
him not to stop at any sacrifice in order to obtain
a majority in the Legislature, and impressed upon
him the necessity of proceeding throughout with
an appearance of legality. He replied to me that
'the subversion of the Charter had never en-
tered his head that I had been deceived by
the reports of the Liberals' and shortly after-
wards he published the fatal ordinances ! A nd

LORD CLONCURRY.—His Lordship has ad.
dressed a letter to the Dublin Evening Post on the sub-
ject of Colonel Torrens' critique upon Mr. Sharman
Crawford's advocacy of the subdivision of land into
small farms. Lord Cloncurry does not coincide with
the views of Colonel Torrens, to whom he says—
" Suppose an able and dispassionate judge of statistics
was to hear the case of two separate islands, one very
badly cultivated, and with much waste land, but ex-
porting immense quantities of human food ; the other
well cultivated, but unable, without importation, to feed
its inhabitants, for which island would he recommend
emigration ?—to whom would he recommend the
El Dorado of Australia ?" " My opinion is," he says
in another part of his letter, " that Ireland is not
overpeopled—that her people have been the victims of
absenteeism, injustice, and bad government—that under
the bad government by which for centuries she was
uthe oppression was in an inverse of the popula-
tciornsd—e;hat it was the millions who achieved emancipa-
tion, and who will, in good time, achieve all we want."
RURAL POLICE.—The adoption of a consta-
bulary force has been decided on by the Magistrates at
Quarter Sessions in several counties.

arose out of a disputed possession of a horse:

From the statements of the prosecutrix, it appeared
that on the day in question the defendant violently as-
saulted her, scratched her face, stating at the same time
that she should not be satisfied till the blood ran from
her like water in the gutter.
The defendant denied the assault.
Mr. Payne conducted the ease for the prosecution,
and Mr. Phillips for the defendant.
The Jury found the defendant guilty of the assault,

MONEY ANI:ICO-31MERCiAL NEWS,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FRIDAY,—Our mar-
ket is still under the influence of unfavourable accounts
from consumers, who, it appears, contemplate a recur-
rence to working short time during the winter months,
a circumstance adding to previous gloom, and if carried
into effect lessens the hope of improvement in prices.
American descriptions and Surats have ruled rather in
favour of buyers, notwithstanding the great support de-
rived from the export demand, which continues good.
Full prices are being had for Brazil and Egyptian. For
export 2,700 bales American and 12.5 Surats have been
taken, and in speculation 2,000 bales of Americans.
The business doing to-day is moderate in extent.

Accounts received from Guayaquil to the llth Aug.
state that all was quiet there at the above date. A
treaty of commerce had been concluded between Mr.
Cope, on the part of the British Government, and the
authorities of the Republic of Equator. Peru was free
from political agitation.

THE FUNDS.
In the Money Market little change has taken place
since yesterday. Commercial affairs continue .slack and
there is rather a distrust among the commercial com-
munity. Yesterday afternoon there was no improve-
ment in the Foreign Exchanges, and had it not been
for the support given by Messrs. Baring and Co., who
it is supposed are acting for the Bank of England, the
exchanges would have been lower.
Up to the present time both the British and Foreign
Markets remain inactive, with scarce a bargain doing,
opting to the great dearth of continental intelligence.
The procrastination of the settlement of the affairs
in the East, with the difficulty of procuring money for
commercial affairs, causes a great dullness for speculat-
ing in the various funds.
Consols, which left off yesterday at 90i i for Money,
and for the Account 90i 1, opened at 90i 1 for
Money, and for the Account at 90-8- i. Exchequer Bills,
4 to 2 discount ; in India Bonds nothing done as yet ;

ANOTHEI tITJICIDE AT THE
AIONUMEi;t:

A second instance of self-destruction by jumpti-gfrp
eft the Monument i,o;;+ duce last evening, at 25 mi-
nut,';s ttast nve o'clock. the tiefigl is named Richard
Daniel Hawes, nnd was between 15 and 16 years of
a,ge. He was educated at the St. Ann's Societe School,
Krixton„ and was lately employed as errand-boy at Mr.
Hodson's, bookseller, Wimpole-street. Jenkins, the.,
keeper of the MOnntrrent, states that a part,'.', consisting
of two ladies and two ge6tlemen, ascended the Montt-
rwmt at half-past four, and that tNe, lad passed with
thew, pa ing for himself the usual fee. The keeper
thought he belonged to the party. He had soniething
under his arm wrapped up ire a handkerchief, which af-
terwards turned out to be a Bible, presented to him as a
prize for good conduct by the Society at whose ex-
pense he had been educated. In a short time after-
wards two eountry4ooking ladies ascended the column,
and the party of four that first scent up with the
I,oy descended without saving any thing to the
keeper: The two country ladies then came down,
and observed to the keeper that there " was only a
boy up now." Pie replied, " Ah, poor fellow, he's
• down," for whilst the two ladies were descending lie
had jumped from off the railing of the terrace. This
was evident from there being no foot prints on the para-
pet outside the railing. The body fell in Monument-
yard, on the same side as that of Miss Noyes, but
somewhat more to the northward. The spot on which
it fell is nine paces from outside the basement railing.
The body was taken to the dead house, London-bridge,
and examined by Mr. Croft, the surgeon, who found
that the hack part of the skull was completely broken;
from whit+ the brains protruded. Both thighs were
broken, and tile spine was fractured. At the time there
Wai a numerous troop of boys and girls playing in the
yards and it was a miracle the body did not fall on some
of them. Several persons saw the body in its descent,
and they say it came down feet foremost until within
half way down the column, when it turned over and
fell flat on the back.

In the lad's pocket were found half-a-crown and two
half-pence, and he nay dressed in a dark•coloured cloth
jacket and trowsers and blue cap. On examining the
Bible, which was found in the gallery, inside the rail-
ing, several of its pages were turned down at passages
referring to death. The two last ladies that descended
stated to the ward beadle that when they left the boy he
was standing with his hack leaning near the gallery door,
and intently perusing the sacred volume.
Mr. Bleaden, in whose possession the Monument
told the reporter that the secretary of the St. Ann's
School recognised the boy, and mentioned where his pa-
rents lived, but owing to their having lately changed
their residence the unfortunate occurrence could not be
communicated to them before late last night. The
crowd about the Monument was even greater than that
which the catastrophe of Miss Moyes gathered together.

FURTHER PA RTI CUL AR S.
In the pockets of the deceased was a small piece of
paper, with the name of• Mr. Dale, surgeon, Holborn-
hill ; on making inquiries of that gentleman, he stated
that a lad called on him answering the description of de-
ceased, on the previous evening for a scull and some
books, which were left there by a late assistant of his,
and he also recognised the writing as that of the said
assistant, who now resides at Mr. Al'Donald's surgeon,
Princes-street, where, according to the statement made
by the latter gentleman, the unfortunate youth had been

living for some time past, but he had left his service on
Friday morning.
The deceased has been in the employ of Mr.
M'Donald for several months past, and he states that
the young man was of a very singular disposition, and
seemed always to be labouring under great depression of
spirits, and could not be persuaded that there was any
crime in the act of self-destruction. He left his master's
house on Thursday, and remained absent nearly the
whole of the day, and could not be persuaded to account
for his absence. He must have meditated the rash deed
then, as he was observed walking in the immediate vi-
cinity of the Monument the whole of that day.
The young man has, since the death of Miss Noyes,
often been heard to express his admiration of the man-
ner in which she destroyed herself, and has said that he
should certainly follow her example, in consequence of
its being an easy death, and he seemed to envy the no-
toriety acquired by the aforesaid young woman. His
friends are in very humble circumstances, his mother
having, since the death of her husband, been living in the
utmost want and wretchedness, and on the melancholy
news being conveyed to her she was almost distracted.
The inquest, which is appointed for this evening, will
be reported in our Second Edition.

CORONER'S INQUEST.

(THIS DAY.)

This morning, at eleven o'clock, an inquest was held
before Mr. Carter, the Coroner for Surrey, at the
Hero of Waterloo, in the;Waterloo-road, upon the body
of a young gentleman, name unknown, who destroyed
himself under the following circumstances :
Mr. John Molesworth, a gentleman residing in Up
per Baker-street, deposed that on Thursday evening,
about half past six o'clock, he was at the National
Baths, Marsh-gate, Lambeth, bathing in company
with a friend of the name of Holland, when he heard
some gentlemen shooting in a gallery adjoining. He
and his friend dressed themselves, and went into the
shooting-gallery, where they saw the deceased with a
rifle-pistol in his hand. He held the pistol very
carefully with the muzzle pointed upwards. When
he was going to fire, witness observing that
he held the pistol very awkwardly. Took it out
of his hands, and fired it °himself, to show him how to
hold it. Deceased ordered the man in attendance to
load the pistol the next time with more than the usual
quantity of powder, as he was going to take a long
shot. Deceased then crossed to the opposite side of
the gallery, and stood as before, beside one of the pillars
which support the roof. Winess was at the time talking to
his friend, and did not for a minute or two observe the de-
cased ; but on hearing the shot he called out to the de-
ceased, " Sir, have you hit the bull's eye?" Not receiving
any answer he went to the end of the gallery. and saw the
deceased lying on his back. On going near he heard
him breathing. The attendant immediately ran for a
doctor, but before he returned the man was dead.

After some further evidence of no interest the Jury
returned a verdict of " Temporary insanity."

The Duke of Leinster bad an opportunity last
week of protecting two pretty grisettes from the attack
of a furious cow. His Grace was passing through
Dame-street, Dublin, when the cow bolted into a ha-
berdasher's shop, where these two young ladies wene
arranging their wares in the manner most likely to at-
tract customers. The appearance of this novel visitor
nearly frightened them into hysterics, and no one seemed
inclined to venture in after the cow but the Noble Duke,
who, with umbrella in band, fairly backed the intruder
into the street ; for, from the narrow form of the shop,
it could not turn. The cow scampered off through the
streets with a crowd after her ; his Grace walked silently
on his way, as if nothing had happened.

POWDER.—The• police on Tuesday afternoon seized
no less than 30 casks of gunpowder, which was found

EVENING EDITION.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

(FRIDAY EVENING.)
TIMES.—The last accounts from New York make
it cle.-irly appear that war of the banks with each other
was the order of the day, and something of the kind is
now coming on, as it would seem, on this side of the At-
lantic, in consequence of the late interdict of the Bank
of England on all papers bearing the endorsement of
joint-stock banks. As the quarrel is °Re which may
possibly " give honest men their due," and cannot be
of any detriment to the public, there should be, by all
means, a clear stage made for it, and as the Bank Di-
rectors have their organs for attack in these cases, it is
right that there should be a medium also for the defence,
and that the parties, moreover, should be allowed to
speak for themselves, instead of having their argu-
ments submitted by us at second-hand. Annexed are
some extracts from the numerous letters received on
this subject :

" Liverpool, October 13.
" The Bank Directors, it seems, came on Thursday last
.:o the conclusion to refuse discount to all bills which may
happen to bear the signature of a bank of issue, whether
joint-stock or private; and let it not be supposed that
this applies only to such paper as is accepted or drawn by
them, but if the signature of such a bank as endorser hap-
pen:. to appear, this is sufficient to call forth the anathema'
of the Bank of England. A strong instance of this I may
notice, which occurred a few days ago. A bill was pre-
sented for discount. the drawers and acceptors of which
were in themselves unexceptionable; then followed several
endorsers, who were also creditable parties; but following
these names the signature of a bank of issue appeared, and
hence the bill was discarded. Such a proceeding needs
no comment. Let it be borne in mind that the institution
which acted thus despotically has had occasion to solicit
assistance from the Bank of France ; that the same men
who seem to descise public opinion so much here, have
evinced themselves to be dependent on the aid of a foreign
banking company. The more important inquiry
is, what is likely to be the result of such
a course of proceeding ? The inconvenience will
be very shortly felt to a very great degree, for,
high as is the present rate of interest, it will doubtless
be yet increased on that class of paper which the bill
brokers find will not be received by the Bank. The con-
sequence will be a determination on the part of the ag-
grieved parties to bring their great adversary to a different
conclusion ; and it is well known that the only way to do
this is to fight our opponent with the same weapons. Pe-
titions, representations, are known to be useless; hence,
as persuasion will fail, coercion must be resorted to, and
I fear much that the Bank of England will soon have
ceuse bo admit the justice of the old adage, That those
who live in glass houses should not throw stones.' What
sortie of the leading joint-stock bankers are said to medi-
tate by way of retribution is, that such an amount of Bank
of England notes should be collected in the country and
presented fot' payment in London and at the branches, as
will cause the Old Lady' to beg :or quarter, or resort to
an Order in Council for the issue of 1/. notes. I feel per-
suaded that in preference to the dilatory course of peti-
tioning for an alteration in the Charter of the Bank, some
course founded on this principle will almost immediately
be taken."
Another letter, dealing with the general policy as
well as with this particular measure of the Bank, re-
marks as follows :
" One of the complaints against the Bank of England
is hostility to the Joint-stock system. Now the Joint-
Banks, both of issue and deposit, throughout the kingdom
are established under the sanction of the Legislature just
as much as the Bank of England ; they are a part of our
national system, and if not cherished as such, the enmity
directed against them falls indirectly upon agriculture and
commerce. It cannot be denied that the cultivation of the
soil, the prosperity of legitimate trade, and the employ-
ment of the working classes in the provinces, depend upon
the country banks just as much as the Bank of England,
and the capricious imposition of any severe rule which may
have the effect of withdrawing from the control of the
country banks even 1,0001. of capital, may inflict upon the
industrious population of the circle a pressure to the ex-
tent of 1,000,0001. The Bank of England, therefore,
from the high position which it occupies, should be the
parent, rather than the foe, of these Institutions, and, if
this were the case, they would gradually fall into unity of
action with that establishment, and cherish it as the na-
tional fountain or reservoir.

.
"The hostility complained of is, that the Bank of
England decline discounting any bills that are drawn, ac-
cepted, or endorsed by joint-stock banks of issue, and the
Morning Post of yesterday, by way of justification, gives
reasons for such conduct as are ludicrously erroneous.
They say, in the first place, that the conduct of such
banks should be strictly watched, and the mode of watch-
ing them, forsooth, is a capricious and selfish attempt to
cast discredit on their paper. A morning paper, which is
losing all character by becoming a thick-and-thin partisan
of the Batik, labours to justify this system by stating, that
if A, a Lancashire bank, discounts a bill for 5,0001. to B,
a customer, and afterwards sells the same bill to C,
another customer, who remits it to his friend in London, it
is then highly proper in the Bank of England to refuse
discounting this bill, because the transaction would be
what is technical* called a double issue, and would re-
present two quantities of currency issued upon one and
the same security. Now nothing can be more futile or
unsound than this doctrine.
" When the Bank A discounts the bill originally to B,
it gives for it 5,000/. of currency ; when it afterwards Belli
the same bill to C, it receives from him for the bill the
like sum of 5,0004 currency, thus withdrawing from circu-
lation the same quantity that had at first been issued. C
again remits the bill to his friend in London in payment of
a debt, and if this friend discount it in London, he re-
ceives for it the like sum of 5,000/. Whatever, therefore,
may be the number of hands this bill passes through, it
never can represent more of the currency than 5,0001.
" If the Bank of England persist in refusing such paper
on such pretences, it will infallibly lead to an issue of cur-
reney on fictitious securities, and will he giving an actual
eocoaragement to the very system which the Bank professes
to guard against. In the year 1825, when the same re-
Istrictive system was pursued, what was the consequence ?
Many of the merchants in London, who received remit-
tance% from the country in the bills of joint-stock banks,
Otrulel not get them discounted at the Bank, and so were
obliged to keep the ♦ery best description of bills in their
repositories as waste paper. But they soon found a very
simple remedy ; they laid their heads together, and manu-
factured bills upon one another, which were at once wel-
comed into the parlour as friends, and treated as the legiti-
mate offspring of real mercantile transactions I
" Thus we see the absurdity of making such exclusive
distinctions, and the mischief to which such policy may
lead.
" There is another rule adopted by the Bank of England
which is still more capricious and absurd—namely, the re-
fusal to permit the joint-stock banks now forwt• d or formieg
in London to open deposit accounts with that establish-
ment, Now, setting aside the obvious advantage to the
Bank of England arising from such accounts, this is ac-
tually a refusal to bodies of individuals of an accommoda-
tion to which they have an unquestionable right, as re-
ceivers, distributors, or circulators of its paper currency,
whereby the Bank profits so largely. The capital of some
of these. banks is not less than 2,000,000/. ; and suppose
any of their directors or officers go to the Bank of Eng-
land and propose to deposit 1,000,0001. of their notes, how
ridiculous it is that a national establishment should decline
receiving such a deposit. The directors of the joint-stock
bank might say, with great propriety, " If you refuse to
take our Bank of England notes in deposit, and force us
to keep them in our own repositories, we will rather ex-
change them for a million of sovereigns, and lock up the
gold till it be wanted.'
" It is childish in the extreme, and unworthy the cha-
racter of a great national establishment, to act in this man-
ner. The joint-stock banks of London cannot by any pos-
sibility do the Bank of England any harm, but much good
by circulating its paper. Such institutions may, indeed,
compete a ith the private bankers of London ; but the Bank
of England has nothing to do with such competition, and
it would do wisely not to lean to one side more than an-
other; for if it do, inquiry as to the use made of existing
privileges will be the consequence, because both sides
are strong enough to protect their own interests, and
quick--ighted enough to perceive when a national esta-
b ishment is swerving from its legitimate path, and from
the pursuit of these objects for the promotion of which it
holds its charter."
These will serve as specimens of the feeling against
, the Bank which the late severe measure has excited.
I 'There is reason to believe, that though some slight re-

laxation of the rule may have taken place, sinceth
the
Liverpool deputation left town, there is nothought
of abandoning it ; on the contrary, it is affirmed that
a bill drawn upon one of the most eminent of the
London banking-houses, and endorsed by a joint-
stock bank, had been refused discount to-day at the
Bank of England, as if it was intended to mark the
adherence to the rule in the strongest mariner, by
showing that considerations of credit could not possi-
1Y have anything to do with the rejection. That
discounts are about generally to undergo a rigid cut-
tido:lent is a, impression very
to-day,
as well prevalent in the city
as that re-payment of the temporary
leans advanced inc the beginning of last month, and
which are now due, will be strictly enforced. Regard
is to be had, moreover,uotvit is said, when bills are pre-
vented for discountt
; coad oily those of shortesw
dates will
which they have to run,
ill be taken—a proceed-
! iaig which is thought preferable for the purpose of cur-
-1 tajitigg the circulation to another advance in the rate of
interest. This latter course is believed to have been
under consideration yesterday r-eekly Board of
Directors, but to have b en abandoned d in consequence
on the uhject,
of strong rt presentations made to t7hnee
have on all the
pointing out the injurious effect it woumld
other money transactions of the country, and its inutility
onl
at the same time for the purpose in view. Some imagine
that this expedient of taking in short bills for dis-
count is intended to obviate the necessity of j
it
an
interdict on bills of any particular class ; but t
be unsafe for all concerned to place any such reliance'ould
at that on the Bank Court, who now appear determined,
at whatever inconvenience elsewhere, to consult nothing
nut their own safety.
