" TO THE EDITOR OF THE DUBLIN EVENING POST.

" Will you, as great public instructor, and, as your friend Sheil says,
Chief Justice of the public Pi eis, be so good as you know all things, to
tell your puzzled public, why the Bank of Ireland charges a higher dis-
count than the Bank of England, or why the man in Belfast can get a
bill more cheaply done than the man in Dame-street ?

" DISCOUNTEE."

Though we wish to be learned in all things, or, at least, to appear so—
though we can, of course, give reasons, or, at least, can afFect to give
them, we shall not, were they as plentiful as blackberries, give any on
compulsion. Our correspondent is too brusque. But if he will conde-
scend to be civil, perhaps we may tell him, some of these fine afternoons.
Its the meantime, we would just hint that the Rank of Ireland is a corn.
mercial establishment—that it has various duties, and, amongst the rest,
the duty of taking care of the interests of the proprietors of bank stock.
Now, one per cent. above the imperial measure of discount Is so far all
gai n—arga/.
Have we answered Discounte.i? Not satisfactorily, perhaps. For
he will maintain that the Bank of Ireland has an exclusive charter, and
being, pro tnnto, a monopoly, that its operations are unjust, as far as the
interests of the communitf are concerned—which interests are, in this
regard, at right angles with those of the strkholders. He may say
what he pleases. For our own parts we are of Bentham's opinion, and
are, therefore, advocates for usury.

It seems that the Post will, like an honest, best public
instructor, enter into the question of the Bank of Ireland
Monopoly, with the view of enlightening its Correspondent
" one of these fine afternoons;" we are only sorry that it has
not waived any point concerning its own importance, and
done so without any delay. As to what the Post says,
touching its attachment to the theory of BENTHAM, we
have no objection to urge ; but if that philosopher whose
disciple the Irish Journalist is willing to be accounted, ad-
vocated usury, was he not also the champion of free trade
in money, as well as in every other article of commerce. It
is truly melancholy upon a great question of this kind to
behold the majority of the Irish Metropolitan Journals ob-
serving a death-like silence, or only alluding to it in a
penny trumpet" strain, for the purpose, if possible, of
sustaining the grievance. We can tell the people of Dub-
lin, that if they do not come forward, they will be suf-
ferers from this monopoly for at least another quarter of
a century.

German and Brussels papers, of the latest dates, have
retched us this morning, from which we select the follow-
ing extracts :
BERLIN, JUNE 4.—The Emperor of Russia and the Crown Prince,
his son, sets out for Potsdam immediately after the fete at M. de Re-
bcaupierre's. Most of the other distinguished visitors are also gone to
Potsdam. The Imperial family will certa lily set out for Silesia about
the 10th or 12th. Our King will soon afterwards go to Silesia with the
Princes. We hear that the Grand Duke Alexander had expressed a
decided predeliction for the eldest Princess of Wurtemberg, who will
one day have the happiness of being Empress of all the Russias. The
King and Queen of Hanover have set out for Hanover, the King of
Wurtemberg and his two daughters for Stuttguard, and many other
visitors hare likewise left us.

The King has given the order of the Black Eagle to the Grand Duke
Constantine of Russia and Prince George of Hanover, and to Prince
Augustus of Wurtemberg.

Letters and papers from Madrid, of the 2d inst., have
been received. The Gazette of that date officially contra-
dicts the rumour that Ciudad Real had been taken by the
Carlists. It had been attacked on the 29th, but the gar-
rison, after sustaining- a loss of twenty men, put the rebels to
flight. The Cortes have refused permission to the Crown
to prosecute M. MENDIZABAL, ro7 the publication of cer-
tain documents relative to the office of Finance Minister.
The Tithe Bill was under discussion, in the Chamber of
Deputies, on the 2d instant.

The Paris papers of Friday an i Saturday announce the
continuance of the debate in the Chamber of Deputies on
the African question. In the list of the orators of Friday

ORIENTA I. STATE.

and Saturday we find General BUGEAUD, MM. GUIZOT,
JAURERT, BEUYEr, MOLE, PASSY, MAUGUIN, and MON-
TALIVET, but in the speeches of none of them can we dis-
cover an argument either for or against the measure differing
in substance from those advanced on Wednesday and Thurs-
day. The g2neral impression appeared to be, that not-
withstanding the length o`' the debate, the Ministerial grant
would be voted by a large majority.
The ce!ebrated Duchess of ABRANTES expired on Fri-
day morning, at her residence in Paris, after an illness of
only a few hours' duration.
On Saturday, M. DE BARANTE delivered, in the Cham-
ber of Peers, the funeral oration of Prince TALLEYRAND.
The Committee of the Chamber of Peers presented its
Report on the Five per Cent. Reduction Bill on Saturday,
As we predicted, it is wholly unfavourable to the measure.
The Bill has therefore no chance of passing the Upper
Chamber this Session.

It is positively asserted that the Duke of NEMOURS
will he present at the Coronation of Queen VICTORIA.
His Royal Highness, accompanied by two Aides-de-Camp,
is to leave Paris for London on the 19th instant.
Advices from Alexandria state that MAHOMET ALI has
informed the Consuls of England and France, that all ar-
rears of tribute due to the Porte would be forthwith paid,
and every care taken on the part of the Viceroy to live in
amity with the SULTAN.

We have the following letter from Algiers, June 2 :—" Some Arabs
who have come from the interior have announced that Abdel Bader is
gone to the frontiers of Morocco, where he is to hare an interview with
the Emperor, and with an Envoy from the Sultan. This news, if it
should be correct, is certainly important. Turkey seems to intend to
engage in its interest the Bey of Tunis, the Emperor of Morocco, and
Abdel Kader.

A letter from Metiof the 4th June says :—" It seems thilt the Army
of Observation collected in our neighbourhood will shortly break up. It
was affirmed yesterday that the two battalions of the fourteen regiments
of the line now at Metz are to leave this garrison in four clays, and march
to Paris, where they will be joined by the 3d battalion which had re-
mained at Phalsbourg."—Constic'utiorzue/.
Letters from Jaca of the 4th of June say, that both parties were
preparing for an action, and even that a cannonade was already heard.
At Saragossa the officers of the Foreign Legion went in procession on
the `l,l of June to place a stone on the tomb of Brigadier General Conrad,
that being the anniversary of his death after the battle of Barbastro.—

THE MURDER IN LAMBETH.

Information having been received from the gentleman who was last
with Eliza Grimsvood on the night of the murder. Hubbard was appre
hended at three o'clock this mottling at the house of his brother in the
neighbourhood of the Borough.road.

We understand the gentleman is related to some of the highest fami.
lies in this country. He wrote a letter to the Coroner detailing the
circumstances of his having accompanied the deceased to her lodgings
from the Strand Theatre, and
.that on leaving the house a violent a
scuffle ensued between him and person answering to the description of
Hubbard, who gave the informant a virhnt blow on the head. An
examination of Hubbard will take place at Union Hall, at three o'clock.
We shall give the examination in our Second Edition.
