MR. ALBERT SMITH'S MONT BLANC.

The interest taken by the public in this exhibition
seems to lose nothing of its first favourable impressions by
the lapse of time. Nor is this to be wondered at ; for the
" Ascent of Mont Blanc," made with the case of the
drawing-room, yet with the most striking representations
of the sublime reality, and, moreover, with the pleasant
companionship of Mr. Albert Smith—as all these advan-
tages can be enjoyed together at the Egyptian Hall—forms
ono of the most sterling and agreeable "sights" of the me-
tropolis. Just at this period of the year, when tourists
are beginning to speculate upon the route of their summer's
excursions, a visit to the Egyptian Hall will not be thrown
away. Mr. Albert Smith takes the traveller pleasantly
along from London to Geneva, from Geneva to Chamouni ;
his observations and remarks by the wayside being sea-
soned with a keenness of perception, and a fidelity of
detail, that, if faithfully followed, would form an excellent
model for guide-book makers.

LYCEUM.

The only novelty at the Lyceum last night was the re-
appearance of Mr. Charles Mathews, after the numerous
reports circulated as to his final secession from the
theatre. He looked exceedingly, had grown stout,
and appeared to be on the best possible terms with himself
and his audience. The piece selected for the opening night
was Before Breakfast, one of his father's stock pieces, writ-
ten by Peake for the purpose of bringing out the wonder.
ful versatility and power of mimicry for which Mathews
Pere was justly celebrated. The coincidence between the
circumstances in which Trefoil, the hero, opens the play,
and those in which Mr. C. Mathews re-opens the theatre,
was recognised by the audience with a kind and hearty
cheer, when, on the rising of the curtain, Trefoil exclaims
" Here I am, without a shilling in the world, and ready
to begin the world again." Encouraged by his reception,
Mr. Mathews went through the piece with wonderful spirit,
mimicking the Scotch and French accents alternately with
great facility, and much to the amusement of the audience;
and at its conclusion received the honour of a separate call
before the curtain. The other pieces were Give a Dog an
ill Name, and Trying it on, supported by the old company,
to whose constancy and self-denial in holding together
during the whole period of his difficulties the lessee pays
a warm tribute at the head of his bill. The house was
tolerably full.

CREMORNE.

Mr- Simpson has provided a somewhat remarkable bill
of fa re for the Whitsun holidays. A round of entertain-
ment e, which lasts from three o'clock in the afternoon till
midnight, is surely enough to satisfy the most voracious
and e xacting of pleasure-seekers. Nor can those who visit
the gardens complain of any want of variety. The per-
formainces include a vocal and instrumental concert, a bal-
loon scent, a ballet, a drawing-room entertainment, a
brillit Lilt display of fireworks, scenes in the circus, and a
great many other attractive novelties which it is unneces.
sary ho mention. The ballet of this season is an entirely
new one, called the Bridal .3forn, or the Sylph of the Gos-
, samer Glade, and when we say that it excels, in neatness of
plot an .d magnificence of getting up, even those which we
remember in former seasons at Cremorne Gardens, we give
it no. slight praise. The equestrian performances are on
an ex tensive scale, and are alone worth a visit. Besides,
the grounds are laid out and decorated in a tasteful and
appropyiate manner, and at the present moment are in
splendiki condition. Last night they were filled by an
assembilage numbering several thousands ; and when illu-
minated by innumerable gas lights, reflectors, variegated
lamps, and Chinese lanterns, the effect was almost magical.
The visitors were in high spirits; and perhaps there could
be no better proof of the excellence and success of the
arrangements which had been made for their amusement
than the fact that they nearly all remained till the last.
In short, the spirited lessee of Cremorne has spared neither
labour nor expense to gratify the public, and his exertions
appear to be properly appreciated.

BOW-STREET-(THIS DAY).

'URDEROUS ASSAULT ON A WIFE.
William, Smith, an elderly man, was placed th
bar before Mr. Hall, charged with a most murd erou
assault upon his wife.
The wife, who appeared in court with her head bar
daged up, stated that last night, shortly before 12 o'clocli
the prisoner came home drunk and commenced abusin %
her in a very violent manner. He had not been hop)
long before he knocked her about, and not content wit
using his hands he got up the poker and struck her
severe blow on the forehead which felled her to tb
ground. Her cries of "Murder" brought assistant' ti
and her husband was given into custody. She had be. 111
married 36 years, and had paid for no less than six 11;
seven summonses but had never yet appeared to any 01
them.
The husband, in defence, accused his wife of drun k'
enness.
Mr. Hall said it was very lamentable to see such tu 1
old man ill-using his wife in such a disgraceful manner,
He should remand the charge to enable him to kno
more of the prisoner's character.
The prisoner was then remanded.

POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.

This valuable institution, which has done so much to
popularise art and science, has never failed on holiday oc.
casions to attract numerous crowds within its walls, and
yesterday was no exception to the rule. Both in the
morning and the evening the attendance was considerable.
and all seemed pleased by the varied nature of the enter-
tainments. The museum and exhibition departments
excited the usual interest, and the use of the diving-heal,
the removal of a sunken vessel by an explosion of gun.
powder under water, and. all the other well-known
experiments, were witnessed with as much attention
and pleasure as if they possessed all the charm of
novelty. But a great portion of the success that has
attended the institution is owing to the managers never
omitting any opportunity of bringing, wherever they
can, their different resources to bear upon some important
topics of the day. Thus, we have a series of very fine views
of the seat of war, on the Danube and the Baltic, em-
bracing all the towns and places to which passing events
attach any importance. The four views lately added are
the Baltic fleet in the Downs, the Castle of Kronberg,
Forts Alexander and Peter, at Cronstadt and St.. Peters.
burg—executed in a highly artistic manner; and assisted
as they are by judicious descriptive comments, they forte
one of the most interesting features of the programme.
The short, but most intelligible and instructive, lectures,
by Mr.. Pepper and Dr. Bachhoffner, also appeared to be
well relished, judging from the thronged state of the lec-
ture-theatre% and the applause with which those gentle.
men were greeted. Indeed, there is no place in London
where a few hours can be more agreeably, as well as pro-
fitably, spent than at the Polytechnic.

TFIE COLOSSEUM.
This well-established place of holiday recreation, thoegh
rather hard pressed by numerous younger rivals in popu-
larity, still, we are glad to say, draws a fair proportion of
metropolitan visitors on each recurring festival, while it
has lost little of its interest for " country cousins," when-
ever they can spend a few weeks in town. The grand
" original" panorama of London by Day still divides the
palm with the "extraordinary" panorama of London by
Night ; the two being, in our opinion, both original and
extraordinary works of very great merit ; whilst the mu-
seum of sculpture, conservatories, Swiss cottage, and
stalactite caverns, are still beheld with undiminished ad.
miration. The visitor to the Colosseum--provided al.
ways that the day be fine—should not omit to enjoy the
real view of London, which is afforded from the top of
the building—a view in itself that amply repays the cost
of the modest admission fee to this favourite establish"
ment.
London, England, 1854-06-06

MONTENEGRO.

The Moniteur publishes the following from
Serajevo
:--
"The accounts received from the Herzegovina describe
the Montenegrins as determined to invade the Ottoman
territory. Prince Daniel has announced to his bands his
intention to take the field immediately, and is com-
pleting his preparations with all possible activity at
Cetinye. The Governors-General of Scutari and of the
Herzegovina are fully able to repel the aggression, or at
least to keep the Montenegrins in check until the
arrival of reinforcements from the province of Bosnia."
London, England, 1854-06-06

GALLERY OF ILLUSTRATION.

The proprietors of this gallery seem to make it their
busine,_s now to follow closely the events of the war, and
to depict in their masterly style, and with thentmost pos•
Bible truthfulness, all those cities and towns which, by
1/4441 CligtlZOLUAtfi between the beWgereDto, ox QUM

circumstances, are brought prominently into notice. They
have lately added to their diorama of the Danube and the
Black Sea a view of Sebastopol, with its fortifications,
from the Admiralty drawing by Lieutenant Montagu
O'Reilly, of H.M.S. Retribution, and, besides, striking
pictures of the fortified towns of Odessa and Silistria ;
and if anything could render this exhibition more popular
than it has been, it would be these last productions, repre-
senting, as they do, those points of the seat of war in the
south upon which the attention of Europe is now concen-
trated. The gallery was crowded in the morning as well
as in the evening.

VAUXHALL GARDENS

These gardens have been re-opened for the season, and
offer attractions equalling if not surpassing those of former
years. The trees, shrubs, and grassplots are in good con-
dition, and much care has been bestowed in making the
gardens as agreeable as possible for promenaders. The
display of coloured lamps in the evening was as great as
over, and some considerable additions have bee❑ made in
this respect since last year. Last evening there was a grand
gala. The entertainments were to have commenced with
a balloon ascent. The gentleman who had promised to
ascend was M. Latour ; and not only was ho to ascend in
a balloon, but ho was to descend in a parachute. The
balloon was filled with gas, and all was ready for the ascent,
but at half-past seven o'clock, the time appointed for it to
take place, M. Latour thought the wind was too high to ad-
mit of his performing what he had undertaken without great
personal risk, and ho therefore prudently postponed his
aerial voyage until Saturday next, orders for admission on
that day being given to the persons who were disappointed
last evening. The other amusements provided for the gra-
tification of the visitors were a vocal and instrumental 1
concert, in the course of which three Tyrolcae singers ap-
peared, the performance of a French equestrian troupe, an
exhibition of fireworks representing the storming of Ran-
goon, and a panorama illustrating the progress of the fleet
of Sir Charles Napier, and including, among other views,
representations of the review of tho fleet at Spithead by
her Majesty, and Cronstadt by moonlight. Each of these
entertainments is good of its kind, and all were received
with much applause by the spectators. In addition to
these there was, as usual, the hermit in his cave, and a
couple of gipsies in a tent, rival readers of futurity, who,
doubtless, did a good stroke of business in the anticipation
of coming events. The attendance of visitors was numerous.

MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT AT Oxyroß
Yesterday afternoon Arthur T. Willement, Esq., C 0133;
moiler of Christ Church, was thrown from his horse al:.
killed on the spot. We gathered the following 1313r'r
culars from an eye-witness of the sad accident.
Willemeut was riding on the Woodstock-road Ist3e.
within about a mile and a half of home, going at'abou•
the rate of four miles an hour, when his horse 6011
blundered against something in the road, or put his o°,
into the rut which is cut on the side of the road for et re
rying off the water into the ditch. Whichever was tm
as
case, the horse stumbled and blundered so dreadfully 11
to roll his unfortunate rider over his head, and to fia.'
upon him when on the ground. He was immediately
picked up by some men who happened to be there at To
time. He appeared to have had a dreadful blow at
back of his head ; his teeth were completely shattered ~933
his tongue gone, and his whole jaw frightfully lacerate%

ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS, REGENT'S-PARK.

Tho popularity enjoyed by the Zoological Society insures
a multitude of holyday visitors to their gardens whenever
the state of the weather renders it possible for the public
to avail themselves of the sources of interest which are to
be found iu this collection. The number of visitors yes-
terday exceeded 21,000, and there is no doubt that this
total would have been considerably larger had the day
been more sunny and genial. The most attractive feature
among the novelties appeared to be a pair of lion cubs bred
in the establishment, and brought up in the society of a
bull terrier puppy, who still remains with them. Tho
collection of living fish has evidently lost none of its
charms, and contains at the present moment some ex-
tremely beautiful objects.

GREECE.

According to advices from Athens of the 28th
of May, M. Canaris has refused to enter the new
Ministry.
The arrival of M. Mavrocordato is expected
with impatience.
It is thought that the new Cabinet will recall
the insurgent chiefs, modify the King's Court,
deprive those officials compromised in the late
proceedings of their places, and request the two
protecting Powers not to occupy Athens and Syra.
London, England, 1854-06-06

SURREY GARDENS.

The. announcement of a balloon ascent by the Veteran
Green. drew a bumper to these gardens last evening. The
huge monster was in the agonies of inflation during the
entire. day, and did not obtain the necessary buoyancy
until a late hour in the evening. The company, however,
who must have numbered many thousands, were in excel-
lent humour, listened to the music, looked at Mr. Marryat's
Bees, or bought artificial chickens from Mr. Cantelo, and
exhibited quite a Chinese enthusiasm when Chusan became
a heap of ruins under a terrific bombardment of asteroid
rockets and Roman candles. The music, both vocal and
instrumental, was very creditable to the various per-
formers, not excepting the lions in the Rotunda, who came
out in great force in emulation of the pyrotechnic explo
sions, with which the evening's entertainments concluded.

LATER FROM CALIFORNIA.

LIVERPOOL, Monday,—The telegraphic accounts
from Halifax report the arrival at New Orleans on
the 22d ult. of the United States from Aspinwall,
With Californian dates to the Ist ult. The Illinois
had sailed for New York with the mails and
V 700,000 in specie.
The accounts from the mining districts were de-
scribed as most favourable. Colonel Fremont and
his party, only 20 in number, the greater part
having deserted, arrived on the 16th April.
Mr. Dillon, the French consul, having been
arrested and brought into court to testify in the
case of the Mexican consul, had struck his flag and
declined to raise it -without instructions from
France. The Mexican consul had been found
guilty, but recommended to mercy.
Another steamer, the Gazelle, had exploded on
the Columbia river, killing 25 and wounding 30
',persons. The barque, Walter Clayton, had been
capsized, and 13 lives lost by the accident.
The markets at San Francisco were dull, and all
t►'he leading articles were depressed in value. Gal-
logo and Hassan flour sold at $l2 per barrel.

MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT AT OXFORD.—
Yesterday afternoon Arthur T. Widement, Esq., com-
moner of Christ Church, was thrown from his horse and
killed on the spot. We gathered the following parti-
enters from an eye-witness of the sad accident. Mr.
Willement was riding on the Woodstock-road, and
within about a mile and a half of home, going at about
the rate of four miles an hour, when his horse either
blundered against something in the road, or put his foot
into the rut which is cut on the side of the road for car-
rying off the water into the ditch. Whichever was the
case, the horse stumbled and blundered so dreadfully as
to roll his unfortunate rider over his head, and to fall
upon him when on the ground. He was immediately
picked up by some men who happened to be there at the
time. He appeared to have had a dreadful blow at the
back of his head ; his teeth were completely shattered—
his tongue gone, and his whole jaw frightfully lacerated.
The unfortunate young gentleman 11,iver spoke, and
breathed only for a few minutes. There was a. grvat
offuzion of blood from his ear. Mr. Vv.. was cow, e7ed
as speedily as possible to the Radcliffe Infirmary, which
is nigh the spot of this grievous event, bub relefjical
attendance was of no aYaii—the vital spark hail

CREMORNE.

Mr. Simpson has provided a somewhat remarkable bill 1
of fare for the Whitsun holidays. A round of entertain-
ments, which lasts from three o'clock in the afternoon till
midnight, is surely enough to satisfy the most voracious
and exacting of pleasure-seekers. Nor can those who visit
the gardens complain of any want of variety. The per-
formances include a vocal and instrumental concert, a bal-
loon ascent, a ballot, a drawing-room entertainment, a
brilliant display of fireworks, scenes in the circus, and a
great many other attractive novelties which it is unneces-
sary to mention. The ballet of this season is an entirely
new one, called the Bridal Horn, or the Sylph of the Gos-
samer Glade, and when we say that it excels, in neatness of
plot and magnificence of getting up, even those which we
remember in former seasons at Cremorne Gardens, we give
it no slight praise. The equestrian performances are on
an extensive scale, and are alone worth a visit. Besides,
the grounds are laid out and decorated in a tasteful and
appropriate manner, and at the present moment are in
splendid condition. Last night they were filled by an
assemblage numbering several thousands ; and when illu-
minated by innumerable gas lights, reflectors, variegated
lamps, and Chinese lanterns, the effect was almost magical.
The visitors were in high spirits; and perhaps there could
be no better proof of the excellence and success of the
arrangements which had been made for their amusement
than the fact that they nearly all remained till the last.
In short, the spirited lessee of Cremorne has spared neither
labour nor expense to gratify the public, and his exertions
appear to be properly appreciated.

BOW-STREET--(THIS DAIF).

MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON A WIFE.
TVilliam Smith, an elderly man, was place d at the
bar before Mr. Hall, charged with a most in. urderous
assault upon his wife.
The wife, who appeared in court with her hes A ban-
daged up, stated that last night, shortly before 12 c 'clock,
the prisoner came home drunk ar.d commenced rni busing
her in a very violent manner. He had not been home
long before he knocked her about, and not conten t with
using his hands he got up the poker and struck e'er a
severe blow on the forehead which felled her to the
ground. Her cries of "Murder" brought assista rice,
and her husband was given into custody. She had Ix len
married 36 years, and had paid for no less than sinc or
seven summonses but had never yet appeared to an y of
them.

The husband, in defence, accusod his wife of drunk•
enness.

Mr. Hall said it was very lamentable to see such an
old man ill-using his wife in such a disgraceful _manner.
He should remand the charge to enable him to► know
more of the prisoner's character.
The prisoner was then remanded.

PANOPTICON, LEICESTER-SQUARE.

This institution has become one of the permanent attrac-
tions of London, without seeing which a visit to the me-
tropolis would not be complete; and ou the three great
holiday weeks of the year will no doubt always be attended
by multitudes of all classes. At least yesterday, the pa-
tronage of the public was most liberally bestowed upon the
undertaking, and not undeservedly; for we know of no
place on which a shilling can be more advantageously
employed. The gorgeously decorated Saracenic Hall,
with its elegant galleries, its fine statuary, and splendid
fountain, throwing up a straight column of water 97 feet
in height, is of itself a sight worth seeing; but there
are many other things to be witnessed besides the build-
ing. There is the great organ, with bellows w .
worked by
steam-power; various novel and improved machines full
action; Brett'e printing electric telegraph; the beautiful
optical diorama, illustrative of Handel's serenata of " Acis
and Galatea," with musical accompaniments ; and the
symmetrical machine,
by which persons are elevated from
the bottom to the top of the hall. We must not omit to
mention the lectures on chemistry, electricity, pneumatics,
and the steam-engine, which are not only full of valuable
matter, but are admirably delivered. The arrangements
for the comfort and convenience of the frequenters of the
institution deserve no less commendation than the civility
of both the male and female attendants.

FORMATION OF A POLISH LEGION.

The following letter has been received in Paris
from General Wysocki, from which it will be seen
that the formation of a Polish legion in the service
of the Porte is adjourned. General Wysocki's
letter is addressed to his compatriots
" CONSTANTINOPLE. May 25.—The formation 'of a
Polish legion, under my command, has been announced
by the German papers, and repeated by those of St.
Petersburg, as being in the course of execution at Con-
stantinople. I believe myself obliged to inform my 'coun-
trymen who are emigrants, and also those at home:, that
this news is premature.

" There were moments which were full of ,hol ps for
our cause, but the Allied Powers seem to have consi-
dered it inopportune to raise, for the present, the -Polish
question. It is on this account that all has been sus-
pended for an indeterminate time, and no formatioa of
Polish legion, whether under my command, or insider
the command of any one else, has taken place. As to
the formation of a corps of sappers, composed of per-
sons of all nations, znd considered as Turkish subjec ts,
it cannot by any means be considered as the work of :the
tendencies of the Poles.

" The question of the East, regarded without preju-
dice, undoubtedly presents to us favourable chanct!s.
Our turn will arrive, but for the present there are only
distant hopes ; and I consider it a duty to prevent ally
fellow-countrymen from being in too great a hurry to
arrive in Turkey. " WYSOCKI, General.""

NEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.
'NER. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
FLEET-STREET, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW
DESCRIPTION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs,
wires, or :leatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth,
as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer ;
they will never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to
any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the ex-
traction of roots, or any painful operation, and will supp3rt and pre-
serve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation
and mastication. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mas-
tication.

LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE.

A special meeting of this company was held at Man,
cheater yesterday. The meeting was held under the
standing orders of the House of Lords, that the two
bids now before Parliament for making a line from the
Leeds, Bradford, and Halifax Junction to Wakefield,
and for extending and altering the levels of the railway
from Gildersorne-street to East Ardsley, in the West
Riding of Yorkshire, might receive the final sanction of
the shareholders. The deputy-chairman, Mr. Stuart,
presided, and briefly explained that these bills were ne-
cessary to secure to the company their fair share of the
traffic from Leeds to Bradford and Halifax. The heads
of the bills having been read, resolutions approving them
were formally agreed to, and the meeting separated.

LYCEUM.

The only novelty at the Lyceum last night was the re-
appearance of Mr. Charles Mathews, after the numerous
reports circulated as to his final secession from the
theatre. He looked exceedingly, had grown stout,
and appeared to bo on the best possible terms with himself
and his audience. The piece selected for the opening night
was Before Breakfast, one of his father's stock pieces, writ-
ten by Peake for the purpose of bringing out the wonder-
ful versatility and power of mimicry for which Mathews
Pere was justly celebrated. The coincidence between the
circumstances in which Trefoil, the hero, opens the play,
and those in which Mr. C. Mathews re-opens the theatre,
was recognised by the audience with a kind and hearty
cheer, when, on the rising of the curtain, Trefoil exclaims
" Here I am, without a shilling in the world, and ready
to begin the world again." Encouraged by his reception,
Mr. Mathews went through the piece with wonderful spirit,
mimicking the Scotch and French accents alternately with
great facility, and much to the amusement of the audience;
and at its conclusion received the honour of a separate call
before the curtain. The other pieces were Give a Dog an
ill Same, and Trying it on, supported by the old company,
to whose constancy and self-denial in holding together
during the whole period of his difficulties the lessee pays
a warm tribute at the head of his bill. The house was
tolerably full.

THE ,TEAM-SHIP CANDIA.

- -
- -
SOUTHAMPTON, Wednesday, May 31.—The Candia, 1
a beautiful new clipper steam-ship, belonging to the
Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company,
went out on a trial trip this morning, with a few scien-
tific gentlemen on board, including Captain Thornton,
R.N., a director, and Mr. A. Lamb, the engineer in
chief of the company, Messrs. Taplin and Waterman,
Government surveyors, &c. The Candia is the hand-
somest screw steam-ship, as far as regards her external
appearance, that has yet been produced among the
very numerous fleet of splendid ships possessed by this
company. She is about 2,200 tons burden, with geared
t rusk engines of 450-horse power, by Messrs. G. Rennie
an I Co., the ship being constructed by Messrs. C. J. Mare
and Co., Blackwall. Her dimensions are as follows :
Length, 281 ft. ; breadth, 38 9-10 ft. ; depth, 26 2-10 ft.
The cylinders have a four-feet stroke, with an effective
diameter of 71 in. The screw is 151 feet diameter, with
a 20-foot pitch. It is impossible to speak too highly of
the admirable workmanship and. engineering skill dis-
played in the engine department, or of the general excel-
lence of the cabin arrangements, which latter are on such
a scale of elegance, combined with comfort, as to leave
nothing to be desired. The fittings for the convenience
of the passengers prove, iu fact, that perfection in this
respect has almost been attained, as it is difficult to be-
lieve that in a first-rate hotel superior accommodation or
comfort could be supplied. The speed made at the
measured mile in Stoke 's Bay to-day
ol was as follows :
Min. Sec. See. Knots. lions. Steam.
let run ... 5'5, equal to 11'803 ... 36 ... 221 b.
2d run ... 4 30, 13.333 ... 36 ... 211 b.
3d run ... 5.36, 10'711 ... 34A ... 201 b. fit c,3
4th run ... 4.4, 14'745 ... 37 ... 221 b.
showing an average of 12.65 knots, equal to 14.45 sta-
tute mites per hour. Beyond a slight disarrangement,
owing to a heated bearing (usual in newly-finished
engines), the machinery worked in the most satisfactory
manner, and the boilers, which are on the flue principle,
patented by Messrs. Lamb and Summers, gave an excel-
lent supply of steam. The Candia, under the command
of Captain Field, is immediately to take her place on
the Southampton, Matta, and Alexandria line, and will,
without doubt, do great credit in her subsequent per-
formances to the successful and energetic public company
to which she belongs.
London, England, 1854-06-01

LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 1, 1854.

The rapid progress of public business and the
numerous measures that have been already with-
drawn, naturally lead to the inference that Parlia-
ment will be prorogued before the end of next
month. Six months at least must then elapse before
the independent Members of Parliament can press
upon Ministers the necessity or even the expe-
diency of a revision of the Bank Charter Act of
1844. That unjust and impolitic enactment may
be productive of the most calamitous results before
an effort can be made to obtain relief from its
stringent provisions. We have already known
by sad experience how severe must be the
suffering—how urgent the pressure before any
relaxation will be sanctioned by Govern-
ment. Mercantile firms of unquestioned
solvency, that have withstood many storms,
and have only achieved their present high
position by a long-continued course of up-
right and honourable conduct, may be pro.
strated, the trade and commerce of the country,
may be paralysed, and the nation itself brought
to the verge of bankruptcy before the Bank of
England will again be permitted to violate the
provisions of the monetary code. The delay would
probably be greater than in 1847, inasmuch as
the relations between the Government and the
Bank are not quite as amicable as they were at
that time, and the rapid approach of the period when
the Charter must again be brought under Legislative
consideration would impose addi tionai diffieul ties in
the way of temporary relief. Nor is it a politic
nor a constitutional course to allow Ministers
frequently to sanction a violation of the law on
the promise of obtaining
is a Parliamentary indem-
nity. If, then,
there a prospect, however re-
mote, of the suppression of the provisions of the
Act of 1844, it is exceedingly desirable that the
matter should at once be considered3ytheguar-
dians of the public purse, and judicious
modifica-
tions made in the obnoxious law.

The most strenuous and decided bullionist, the
most unflinching advocate for the convertibility of
the Bank note cannot assert that the Act of 1844
is compatible with a state of war, and the conse-
quent drain of the precious metals. If we are
to make extraordinary exertions to meet all
the expenses of that war—if we are to im-
pose no additional burden on posterity, we
should not be called upon to undertake the
arduous task while fettered and encumbered by
stringent currency regulations. Nothing so un-
reasonable has ever been required since the .Egyp-
tian "Autocrat" demanded the full tale of bricks
from the children of Israel, although withholding
the raw material—the straw, of which they were
composed. Our " taskmasters," too, "haste"
us. They tell us to fulfil our works, our daily
tasks, as when there was an abundant supply of
the " life-blood of iudustry"—when there were
not merely the smaller denominations of notes, for
1/., 11. 10s., 21., and 31., in circulation, but
when bullion could not be demanded in
exchange. If, with less population and in-
ferior resougges, the nation raised between seventy
