THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 5, 1847,

Viscount de SA, Baron de Foscoa, the Marquis of
Louie, and the counsellors: Julio Gomes, Aguiar,
and others. This circumstance proves that the prin-
cipal authors of the revolution of the 9th of October
do not wish for terms of reconciliation whatever, and
unless they are exclusively in power, they do not
admit any other political combination.
The Howe man-of-war, having on board her Ma-
jesty Queen Adelaide, in the act of being towel by
the Terrible steam-frigate, broke the cable, by which
she was towed over the bar. The Howe was obliged
to let go bath anchors to avoid being driven on the
rocks; fortunately there was no wind, and the sea
was smooth, she thus escaped all danger. Her Ma-
jesty the Queen Dowager went to Cintra before she
left, and appeared highly pleased with the reception
she met at the palace.
It appears that the national battalions will not be
dissolved until the meeting of the Cortes. The op.
position has represented the existence of such bodies
of volunteers as against the Charter, yet no enact•
ment forbids the establishment of these battalions,
which are nothing more than volunteer corps
of militia, not at all incompatible with the
fundamental law of the realm. One argu-
ment upon which the opposition lays great stress,
is, that such bodies of men collected together have a
decided influence in the elections. This indeed is a
most specious argument, because the franchise allowed
to the volunteers is not, as they being such, but as
householders paying taxes according to the census of
the law : it is then immaterial whether such electors are
volunteers congregated in a body, or mere civilians,
the electoral right depending upon the circumstance
of being a householder, paying taxes, and as such
duly registered. In favour of the volunteers, it must
be said that they have rendered important services
during the last revolution, that they are well disci-
plined in general, obedient to their superiors, and
moderate men in their principles. So much could
not be said in favour of the National Guard in the
years 1837 and 1838, composed of many hetero-
geneous elements.
Yesterday the King's anniversary passed without
any attempt at rebellion, as was predicted by the
Cabralists. Their Majesties attended at night the
St. Carlos Theatre, where the opera /Du Foscari was
regularly murdered by the new Italian performers.
Poor maestro Verdi, when he composed this cele-
brated opera, certainly did not expect to be placed
on the rack by such a detestable performance in
Lisbon.

THE CURRENCY.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,—The time has; now arrived to strike an
effective blow for monetary reform. Its settlement
can no longer with safety be deferred.
The recent suspension of the Bank Charter Act is
a virtual condemnation of that Act by its own abet-
tors. It has been weighed in the balance and found
wanting. To suspend it is to abrogate it, for never
again can it be law in these realms.
The Act of 1841 (Bank Charter Act) was but the
complement of the Act of 1819 ; it was made only to
confirm the main provisions of this Act, viz , the con-
vertibility of all Bank of England paper into gold,
on demand, at the low fixed Mint price of 31. 17s. 144.
per ounce. What the Act of 1819 left to the discretion
of the Bank, viz. the ways and means of convertibility,
is, by the Act of 1844, enforced by positive enact-
ment. The principle of both Acts, then, being the
same, the condemnation of the one is the condemna-
tion of the other. In suspending the Act of 1844,
Ministers have practically pronounced it a failure.
And as that Act was pass4d only to render the other
practicable, it follows that the Act of 1819 has also
failed, seeing that neither with nor without the Act
of 1844 can its principle be carried into operation.
Now then is the time .to deal a final blow to both
enactments. Government having entered the wedge,
it is for the public to drive it home. The Legislature
is convened for the 18th inst., when Ministers will
sue for indemnity. Let us be ready on that day,
with the tide of opinion in our favour, to tell Minis-
ters and Parliament that their indemnity Bills are
waste paper, and that however they may indemnify
and glorify each other within the walls of Parlia-
ment, there will be no indemnity for them at the
hands of the public until they repair the great wrong
of 1819 by a total repeal of that Act, and by the •
establishment of a sound_ and adequate monetary
system, founded on scientific principle, and having
justice to all classes for its aim.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,

MONEY-MARKET and CIT Y NEWS.

CITY, THURSDAY EVENING.
TIMES. The English funds still show great
steadiness, and a further rise of nearly 1 per cent.
has taken place to-day. Consols for money opened at
823- to fl, and, after a slight temporary decline, re-
sumed their upward progress until they reached 83k,
at which price they closed buyers. For the ac-
count the range was from 823- to 833. The chief cause
of the general rise throughout the day was the abun-
dant supply of money, the rate for which, in the
Stock-Exchange, was from 4 to 6 per cent.
The failure of the Honiton bank (Flood and
Lott) was announced this morning. It was an
old firm, having been established in 1786, and
its authorised issue was 19,015/. According to the
published return on the 9th ult., however, its out-
standing notes amounted only to 14,906/. The total
liabilities are not supposed to be large, and the part-
ners express a full conviction that they shall pay 20s.
in the pound, an impression which is shared by well-
informed parties in London. Advances upon landed
property are understood to have caused the failure.
Lubbock and Co., the London agents, are entirely
covered.
This has been the 4th of the month, and the bills
which have fallen due have been most sati.sfactoriiy
met. In London no failure whatever has been re-
ported. A statement was circulated in the morning
of a house largely engaged in the wine trade having
stopped, but it was wholly without foundation ; and
although, of course, it exposed every " house " in the
wine trade to inquiry and suspicion, it had no etioct
beyond that of temporarily keeping up the tendency
to vague alarm.
The commercial intelligence from India by the
present mail is not of a character to lessen anxiety as
to the state of things that may ensue when the news
of our recent disasters shall reach that country.
Money being comparatively easy, the purchase and
shipment of produce to England is actively going on,
and we have consequently still the unpleasant fact of
freights being firmly maintained. On the other hand,
it appears that the demand for several descriptions of
manufactured goods continues to present signs of
revival. That this revival, however, will greatly
extend cannot be expected, while the present price of
cotton and iron and the pressure for money here shall
prevent its being stimulated by sufficiently large and
cheap arrivals to counteract the possibility of a r
of prices.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—At such a period as the present every
banker's clerk, like myself, assumes that our le-
gislative governors would be the better for the
sage opinions of " us " practical men ; and not to be
behind hand with my class, I beg to submit through
you my no,trum for the relief of the present pressure
and the future benefit of the country.
We have been over-trading and speculating, and in
addition have had to contend with famine; but impro-
vident as we may have been, it is the duty of a
paternal Government to do all in their power to avert
or mitigate the penalty.
I propose, Sir, that the Government issue twenty
millions of debentures from one to twenty pounds in
value, bearing interest at the rate of one per cent., to
be issued only on undoubted security, say, a firstcharge
upon railways; the companies will gladly pay five per
cent. for the loans, the country would benefit by the
difference, and the debentures will represent real pro-
perty. I imagine the effect of such a measure would
set us to rights, and if something is not soon done we
shall not have money enough left to purchase even

The character of the remittances received by this
mail are on the whole not unsatisfactory, more espe-
cially as it is one by which no very large arrivals
were expected. Perkins, Schlusser, and Co., have
had 5,0001. all good ; Lyall, Brothers, and Co., 2,0001.
all good. Scott, Bell, and Co., and Cockerell and
Co., also report favourably.

HAIVIBURGH, DUTCH, AND FLAN-
DERS MAILS.
FROM THE TURKISH FRONTIER.—Accounts from
the Bucharest state that the resident French Consul
has, at the request of the Greek agents, promised the
Greek trade and Greek subjects provisional protection,
with the understanding, however, that he must ask
for further instructions from his ourt for official per-
mission. The Russian Consul-General has declared
his assent to the procedure of the French Consul, It
seems to be wished in Constantinople itself to mitigate
the severity of the compulsory measures, in order to
give the new Ministry at Athens time and opportu-
oity to make some approaches to a reconciliation.
From St. Petersburgh we learn that that Cabinet has
most urgently recommended the Greek Ministry to
put an end to the disputes with Greece as speedily as
possible,
TEIE CHOLERA IN RUSSIA.—The following an-
nouncement has been made by the Military Governor-
General of Moscow :—" The cholera which traversed
Russia in the year 1830 has again spread in several
governments of our country ; it has already reached
the government bordering upon Moscow, nay, it has
appeared here and there in Moscow itself. From the
30th September to 14th October, 120 persons have
been seized with it, three of whom have recovered,
41 have died, and on the 15th the number of sick was
consequently 76. Several of those give favourable indi-
cations of recovery. Immediately on the first
appearance of the epidemic in the Trans Caucasia,
decided measures were taken by the Government to
check the ingress of this pestilence into Russia. Here
in Moscow, a Government committee assembled, in
the circles local committees were formed to check its
progress. Everywhere temporary hospitals have been
got ready, so that persons seized with the cholera
might be immediately admitted without police, or
other orders. Medical men are always at hand to
give prompt assistance. Experience has abundantly
proved that timely medical aid is of the highest im-
portance, and that when it is resorted to immediately
a cure is almost sure to supervene. Hence I strongly
recommend that if any person feel even the slightest
indication of approaching cholera, a medical man be
instantly sent for, or that they be taken to the hos-
pital, to which end a list will be subjoined to what
hospitals persons in certain districts may be sent to
escape cholera. The chief precautionary measures
are the avoidance of cold and over fatigue,
as well as all spoilt or improper food, likewise to
maintain great cleanliness, both personally and
domiciliary. Lastly, I consider it my duty
to inform the inhabitants of the town, in
order to' releive their' minds, that the pestilence has
on the whole not appeared in its most virulent form
here; that the medical men are acquainted with the
best mode of cure ; that everything that can be done
is done, and that with God's blessing the distemper
may disappear without causing much devastation. I
shall occasionally give reports of the state of the
disease, and of the arrangements made by Govern-
ment. [Here follow the dates respecting the local
hospitals.] Arrangements have have been made that,
in case of need, as great a number of temporary hospi-
tals: can be provided as may be requisite for the
emergency. It is, however, left to the option of every
person to go to an hospital, or to be tended at home,
and in the latter case, to select any medical man that
may be desired.

of September, was held to-day, Mr. Gouger in the
chair. The following statement, prepared by ➢lr.
Samuel Notley, was submitted for consideration :

(From the Monthly Circular of Tripp and Co., Nov. 1.)
" We regret to notice a further decline in prices
since the date of our last Circular, though more pur-
chases for bona fide investments have been made
i
during the last few days than we have for a consider.
able time past experienced.
" Continued failures, with the highrateof interestaaiit
thatcha rergedtufronr discounts, however,
confidence
eevwerhch can alone impart, still operate against
vitality to our markets; and we believe it is much
to be regretted that Ministers, in their recommenda-
tion to the Bank of England directors to enlarge their
discounts, should have considered it necessary to
suggest that the rate of interest should not be less
than 8 per cent.
"Does it not seem too bal that holders of Exche- 1
quer-bills should now be compelled to give 8 per cent.
for loans upon the same security that they have lent
their money to Government for 4i per cent. ? Until
recently, Exchequer-bills have always .been considered
the safest and most legitimate security that a banker
could hold; they are seldom or never dealt in for
other purpose than the safe and temporary investment
of unemployed capital, and differ materially in charac
ter from the Government Funds, inasmuch as come
what will under any circumstances, the holder of this
security is guaranteed the repayment of his capital in
full.

"Divested of all speculative contingencies,-surely
upon the deposit of such a security, loans may have
been granted with perfect safety at a rate something
less usurious than 8 per cent.
" Supposing it ha :I been proposed that the Bank
should advance money upon the deposit of Exchequer-
bills at 5 per cent., leaving the minimum rate to be
charged for advances upon all other securities to the
discretion of the Bank, we venture to say that large
sums of money now held back would have immedi-
ately found their way to the London market, and
the exorbitant, cruel, ruinous, and disgraceful rates
now exacted- from the mercantile community for dis-
counts would have received a prompt and wholesome
check.

" What can tend more to prostrate the energies of
the nation than that wholesale and senseless destruc-
tion of credit which the present unmerciful rates of
interest involve ? It is because we all know that a
continuance of such rates is what no trader can
afford to pay, that a mutual mistrust has been be-
gotten. The common cry now is, where is the money
gone ? The answer is simple—the currency of mer-
cantile bills has been destroyed, the instrument
through which the commerce of the country has been
heretofore conducted is annihilated, so long as the
rate of discount rules from 8 to 10 per cent. for all
Mercantile purposes, the bill of exchange is useless ;
the enormous gap thus occasioned by the destruction
of this portion of our currency explains where what
is commonly called the money' is gone.
" Restore credit, and the present amount of the
circulation of Bank-notes will be found rather to
exceed than fall short of the requirements of com-
merce. In January, 1842, the circulation of the
Bank of England, inclusive of Bank post-bills, ac-
cordingwsaamseotnimlye ~.e
amount to the old form,
aanmdouthnet
roaftebuolfliionnteartestht e
41 per cent. According to
the returns of the Bank of England for the
23d ultimo, the circulation, inclusive of Bank post-
bills, agreeably to the old form, was 21,265,188/.,
and the amount of bullion was 8,312,6911., and the
minimum rate of interest 8 per cent.: so that with a
circulation of 4,635,188/. greater than we had in
1842, and with 3,075,691/. more bullion now in the
Bank than there was at that period, the present rate
of interest is actually 3i per cent. higher than it then
was. Our impression is such an anomaly cannot
long exist; the future returns of the Bank of England
will no doubt gradually improve; and with it there is
every reason to hope a restoration of credit and
gradual revival of commerce will be the concomitant
results.

(Signei) "Count SCHTSCHERBUTOFF."
Accounts of the 26th state, from the 30th Septem-
ber to the 19th October, consequently, in 19 days,
222 persons have been seized with the cholera at
Moscow, of whom 66 have died. If this number is
compared with the first week, we have reason to hope
that it will not spread very extensively. In Pula,
and in the Government of the same name, it spreads
but slowly; in the city 10 died out of 17, who had
been attacked from the 29th of September to 13ih
October, and in the three circles of Ain
Government, to which the epidemic has
hitherto been confined, twelve out of nineteen
have died. In Kasan it spreads more ra-
pidly. From Sept. 17 to Oct. 5, 174 persons were
attacked, of whom 84 died. In the Government of
Kasan it appeared only in small villages, and in the
city of Jadin ; but here only 14 persons were at-
tacked, of whom 5 died. In the town of Rischsk no
new cases have appeared. In the Governments of
Woronesch and Saratoff, the disease is on the decline.
In the country of the Don Cossacks the disease con-
tinued rather violent till the 2d of October; but in
some circles it has ceased.

WARSAW, OCT. 28.—TIIE JEWS.—A circular has
just been issued by the Stadtholder, stating that he
has been informed that the Jews are secretly leaving

consequently taken by the Government, empowering

" The Bristol market, though governed by London
prices, has throughout the panic maintained its credit
with considerable firmness. In no instance has there
been any failure, either among the merchants or
wholesale dealers. The banks have readily acceded
every reasonable assistance their customers could re-
quire ; and we believe that in no part of the United
Kingdom does a better feeling and less distrust exist
than in that city- In recording this state of things,
in contra-distinction to the melancholy distress with
which the merchants of London and of Liverpool
have been nearly overwhelmed, it tray be worthy of
remark that the practice of re-discounting has never
been adopted by the Bristol banks, as in other places ;
hence the banks there have been altogether indepen-
dent of the influence of the Bristol Branch Bank of
England. _ _

THE POLISH BALL.--A very numerous meeting of
,he committee appointed to conduct the arrangements
'or the Polish ball on the 17th inst. took place yester-
day at Guildhall ; Mr. George Selson in the chair. It
was announced that Miss Dolby, Miss Poole, Miss
Bassano, Miss Steele, the Misses Williams, Mr. W.
Harrison, Signor Brizzi, Signor Burdini, Mr. James
Bennett, Mr. Bodda, and Mr. John Parry, have most
kindly and generous?), offered their gratuitous services
to the committee. It was also stated that in consequence
of the ball taking place on the eve of the meeting of
Parliament, an unusually large number of aristocratic
and fashionable visitors were expected to be present. It
appeared from a statement made before the committee
that the sale of tickets was proceeding very rapidly.
When the vast accommodation afforded by the Guild-
hall, the Council Chamber, and the other rooms which
are to be thrown open upon that occasion, is taken into
consideration, there can be but little surprise felt that
the attendance should be so numerous and respectable as
is invariably the case when the Polish ball follows the
great civic feast of the 9th of November, for, in addition
to the attractions of an excellent concert, the Guildhall
presents, when brilliantly illuminated, tastefully deco-
rated with banners and trophies, and thronged with
visitors, a coup d'ceil entirely unequalled by any few
which is ever given in the metropolis.
KINGS' COLLEGE HOSPITAL, PORTUGAL-STREET,
LINCOLN'S INN FIELD.—At a meeting of
charity,
dense c x
was
at eas ess
ofnt the abovetim eg t it valuableO win
m
osotffask management
ande
tmat
the present
poverty existing in the
neighbourhood t
highbourhood of
the hospital, the whole of the,bed s in the institution
were occupied, and urgent applications were daily being
made, which the committee were unable to entertain
from the want of accommodation. The out•patients had
also increased to a corresponding degrce ; and their
treatment, together with that of the in-patients, had so
exhausted the funds of the ho-pfital, that the committee,
whilst expressing their thanks' or the prompt liberality
displayed on previous occasions, were compelled to lay
their statement before the affluent and humane for their
co-operation,
dto enable the charity to meet the constant
demands
upon it.
B}(IBBEREEN, OCT. 28.-21:he new Poor law is in
operation here, but instead of tickets, the applicants, in
y
some cases, receive only blows. One relieving officer
heat a woman a short
time since,
when she demanded a
ticket to the workhouse. Such
conduct on the
magistrates and relieving officers needs no comment.—
Cork Examiner.
