The deputation having been presented,
Lord John Russell received them with much cour-
tesy, and expressed the willingness which he and his
right hon. colleagues present felt to hear any repre-
sentations which the bankers, merchants, and ship-
owners of Liverpool were prepared to make with
respect to the pressure now experienced by the mer-
cantile community of the country.
Mr. Stuart, Mr. Brown, and other gentlemen of
the deputation, then proceeded to direct the attention
of the Noble Lord to the critical position in which
the merchants and traders of Liverpool were now
placed in consequence of the existing presssure on the
money market, and the deplorable condition of trade,
commerce, and manufactures. They wished it, however,
to be distinctly understood in thus representing their
case, that the relief which they sought at the hands of
the Government was but of a temporary kind. At the
present time produce of every kind could only be
disposed of at an enormous sacrifice, which must
sooner or later, if carried to any great extent, involve
all trade in ruin. Orders from abvad for goods or
produce could not be executed from the impossibility
of converting into cash the bills drawn against them.
The deputation could not refrain from expressing
their opinion that much of the alarm and want of
confidence which now prevailed amid all classes might
in great part be allayed by the judicious interference
of the Government. The memorial which they (the
deputation) were charged to present to his Lordship
dwelt strongly upon this subject, and set forth that
in the opinion of the memorialists a temporary ad-
vance by Government, to be secured upon the credit
of the country, would effect an immense amount of
benefit for the mercantile classes, and by tending to
allay groundless alarms cause the release of large sums
of money now locked up and comparatively profitless,
in consequence of the panic which prevailed. An ad-
vance of this description, they contended, it was the duty
of the Government to make, as a continuance of the
present state of things would inevitably have the effect
of depriving hundreds and thousands of the labouring
population of all classes of their employment, and
thus prostrate the great industrial resources of the
country. The accounts daily received from the ma-
nufacturing districts showed that houses of the greatest
respectability and ample resources had bent before the
overwhelming pressure of the present crisis, and
those who were most experienced in monetary and
commercial affairs agreed in thinking that if Govern-
ment did not immediately come to the relief of the
bankers, merchants, and traders, on whose prosperity
so much of the welfare of the country depended, the
result would be that firms now solvent, and possessing
ample means (if their securities were convertible into
ready money), would be involved in the common
ruin. The deputation concluded by again pressing
on the Noble Lord's attention and that of his Right
Hon. Colleagues that the memorialists did not require
any permanent measure of assistance—all they re-
quired was a temporary measure of relief to enable
them to meet what they hoped and believed to be a
temporary danger.
Lord John Russell admitted that the pressure
under which the commercial classes laboured at
present was very great, and a subject of deep regret.
The matter was one which had occupied, and he
assured the deputation would occupy, the attention
of her Majesty's Government. He regretted, how-
ever, atthahte cthoeulGd
nivieortninhoelndt ocuntuaindyinhtoepreferton
eit
nhv
ne
such
ud,
cet
hpo staaa ytwi
ntay
as to allay the public apprehension,
restore confidence, and relieve individuals from
pressure. The subject, however, should receive
from her Majesty's Ministers that attentive con-
sideration due to the great importance of the interests

involved.
A Member of the deputation having observed that
in the course of a few days they might again take the
liberty of waiting upon his Lordship with other
suggestions,
Lord John Russell said that it would afford him
much pleasure to receive the deputation again, when-
ever they conceived they could aid the object in
view; but, at the same time, he assured them that he
could not hold out to them any hope.
The deputation then presented the memorial,
which the Noble Lord assured them should receive
the best consideration of which he was able.

The gentlemen of the deputation, having thanked
Lord John Russell and his right bon. colleagues for
the exceeding courteous manner with which they had
been received and their representations listened to,
withdrew.

The deputation were somewhat mistaken as regards
the exact occurrences in 1825 and 1826.
On Saturday, the 17th of December, 1825, having
then only 1,027,0001. of treasure in its cellars, the
Bank of England was rescued from its perils of stop-
ping payment by the accidental discovery of a huge
box of one-pound notes. These, with the approval
of Lord Liverpool's Government, it immediately
issued as a substitute for sovereigns. Mr. Francis,
in his valuable history of the Bank, records that
" the delight with which these notes were received
in the country proved that the want of a secure
small currency alone was felt." Mr. Harman, in
his evidence before the Committee of the House of
Commons, said, " They (the one-pound notes) worked
wonders; as far as my judgment goes, they saved the
country." Mr. Francis further relates, that "In Nor-
wich the Messrs. Gurney are said to have stayed the
plague by merely placing a thick pile of one-pound
notes of the Bank of England on the counter ! In
most of the provinces," continues Mr. Francis, " they
(the one-pound notes) were received with acclama-
tion. Within a week from then the peril and the
panic had passed away." But a recurrence to so
well-tried and efficacious a remedy would be
tainted too strongly with the spirit of Protection,
and would savour too much of the policy of Pitt and
of his disciple, Lord G. Bentinck, to be palatable to
" distinguished only
faorsetthe
ofirMkinnoi swt el
eridagl
ephoifl otshoeph science
nee
of
political eco-
nomy," and, of course, " caring nothing for the two
or three millions of people who may be reduced to
beggary by their operation."

Lord John Russell and Sir Charles Wood, holding
office, as they imagine, only by leave and license of
Sir Robert Peel, will rather see the whole trade,
manufactures, and commerce of the country smashed,
than damage the reputation of their hard taskmaster
by invading the sanctity of Sir Robert Peel's Bank
Charter Act, and desecrating the ex-Minister's
financial wisdom.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIRS I have read with great pleasure your re-
marks on the state of the currency, and the necessity
of an improvement on the present system. A great
many plans have been brought forward for this pur-
pose, but I have seen none that could remedy the evil.
I have a plan to propose which, perhaps, like others,
may be impracticable, but, in my opinion, it is safe
and easily accomplished. Having been a mercantile
man for the greater part of my life, I feel a deep in-
terest in this subject, and am a sufferer by the pre-
sent depression. I shall state in as few words and
as plain a manner as I can what my proposal is, and
shall be obliged by your inserting this in your paper.
The cause of the present distress is a scarcity of
money, the circulating medium has remained sta-
tionary while the trade of the country has doubled ' •
the circulating medium ought to increase as wealth
increases, and decrease as wealth decreases. To ac-
complish this the following 14„t .A. plan :—I will state
one case, and you can then s i iose it extended over
the whole country. Suppose one thousand pro-
prietors of real property, consisting of lands, houses,
mills, &c., meet together and agree to form an asso-
ciation, suppose that those one thousand individuals
agree (under the control of the Government) to give
mortgages over their property, to be lodged with the
Government ; the company being their formed, they
should be allowed to issue notes to the extent of their
mortgages, this in my opinion would form a much
better security to the public than a metallic base, as
gold is at all times liable to be drained from the
country, and there can be no doubt that while the
public would be accommodated, that the incomes of
the holders of property would be doubled.
It would be a very easy matter, to fill a column of
your newspaper with the details f this plan, or even
a pamphlet, but the outline is I think sufficient.
I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
T. C.
Liverpool, Oct. 17, 1847.

THE ITALIAN MOVEMENT.
(From the Courrier Francais.)
With good reason has astonishment been manifested
at the long and lethargic sleep of the Italian peninsula.
This makes its awakening the more significant. In
vain will Austria endeavour to spread over this part
of the states the shroud of death and a mournful
silence; the people have lifted up their heads and
sent forth the cry of distress. Abuses accumulated
for centuries are assailed at the same time by all classes
of society; all ranks, all orders, all professions unite
in the same idea of reform and moral transformation.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer -took an animated
part in the discussion, and the impression left upon
the minds of the deputation was, that; the Right Hon.
Gentleman had not up to that period been thoroughly
acquainted with the extent of the alarming pressure
that existed. The Right Hon. G entleman admitted
the distressing position of mercantiile affairs.
The interview lasted upwards of an hour and a
quarter.

(From the Post.)
We are enabled to lay before our readers the fol-
lowing authentic précis of what passed between the
Liverpool deputation and the Govt irnment yesterday
afternoon.

"The Liverpool deputation, oonsisting of the
Mayor, Mr. Alderman Nicol, Mr. Alderman Hors-
fall, Mr. Charles Turner, Mr. H. C. Chapman, Mr.
W.
.Stuart, Mr. H. Wylie, accompanied by Mr.
Cardwell, M.P., Mr. W. Patten, ALP., and Mr. W.
Brown, M.P., had an interview ye sterday with Lord
John Russell, the Chancellor of ti to Exchequer, and
Mr. Labouchere, on the subject of the commercial
distress existing and spreading at Liverpool and
throughout Lancashire.

" The Mayor ably supported t'he prayer of the
memorial, and assured the Noble Lord it was not at
all exaggerated. Mr. Brown and Mr.r. Wilson Patten,
confirmed the Mayor's statement; and Mr. Wilson
Patten announced that all the mills at Warrington
were now stopped.

" The Chancellor of the Exchequer inquired what
remedies were suggested.

A government, intelligent, moderate, wise, and
friendly to mankind, was the forerunner of a mani-
festation so unanimous and free from excess. The
Cabinet of Vienna does not see this state of things
with the same eye that we do; it makes no account
of national wishes, but looks upon them as acts of re-
bellion. Its own particular strength consists in its
soldiers and its spy system. Hence a long period
must elapse before peace can reign in the north of
Italy. _ _ _

" Mr. Brown proposed an issu ,e of Exchequer-bills
on security of Consols and prvduce, and was sup-
ported by Messrs. Turner and iCicol.

The half guarantees which the populations of Tus-
cany and the neighbouring duchies have obtained, will
be withdrawn at the first opportunity. How can it
be otherwise ? These small governments are under
the guardianship of Austria ; they have but a shadow
of independence. The wishes of the populations have
been yielded to at present, because it was a necessity;
later the lost ground will be regained.
The Pontifical thone is too solidly established to seek
to upset it.j Eius IX. is aimed at, and not the Papacy.
This great man has need of all his skill, of all his
prudence, and of all his firmness to maintain himself.
The old continental despotism gives him incense
through fear and not through love, for the wicked
never can love the good. With all endeavours to the
contrary, mankind in a mass, without distinction of
creeds, would arise to defend him if he was attacked.
Hence the attempt is avoided. He is the most secure
of sovereigns, because he is surrounded by a rampart
of homage and affection.
Naples resembles its volcanoes—it is in ebullition.
The population of this kingdom is too ignorant, too
slavish, and too miserable to remain long in this state,
It will throw off the yoke, no matter at what cost.
especially if it sees its neighbours more happy. There,
as in Milan, the soldiery sustains the Government,
especially the Swiss, who are the right arm of his
Sicilian Majesty. If to-morrow they were to with-
draw from him their support, the reigning family
would be lost. The law of the sword will not make
many partisans to the present king. With the civili-
zation of our days, tyranny is out of season.
We cannot foresee any happiness for the numerous
and interesting population of this beautiful country
but in a system of agglomeration, which would con-
sist in giving a few additions of territory to King
Charles Albert, to encourage him in his good inten-
tions, in reconstituting a great principality, a small
independent kingdom, of which Milan would be the
seat, which would be restored to the house of Gon-
zaga to which it rightfully belongs ; in extending the
states of the Pope, so that he should have his quarter
of Italy; and in leaving the King of the Two Sicilies
with a constitution which would be the safeguard of
his throne, and of the happiness of his subjects.
The Pope receives from all parts of the world marks
of high sympathy. We learn that new relations have
just been established between his Government and the
United States, from the seeking of the latter country ;
it is added that similar manifestations have just taken
place from the republics of New Granada, of Chili, and
Peru, which Pius IX. visited in his youth, and where
he has left a venerated name.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of Oct. 19.)
SUGAR.—To-day prices suffered a further depression
for raw Sugar, as merchants were desirous to sell, and
pressed large parcels for sale, whilst shippers were
cautious in their proceedings. The rates taken for
West India Muscavado being 6d per cwt under those of
Friday, caused all kinds to meet with attention from
refiners and grocers, the private purchases amounting to
700 hhds and trcs. At auction 158 hhds 2 trcs of Bar-
badoes went off heavily at a further fall on former rates
of Gd to Is for low and middling, whilst for gcod and
fine prices in some cases went down 6d per cwt.
REFINED.—To-day Refined Sugar was operated in
with much caution by the home trade, whilst a further
fall in the value ensued, brown grocery Lumps selling
at 51s to Ms 6d, and standard Lumps at 523 to 52s 6d
per cwt, while several parcels are pressing for sale. For
bonded Crushed Sugar the export demand is good at
28s to 29s 6d per cwt.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon the market was largely
supplied, and two parcels, amounting to 7,686 bags 78
casks 229 trcs and 20 cases, were submitted to public
grey,

EAST INDlA.—Thisaftearnuocotinonßwenergeal

in at rather lower rates.
FOREIGN.—The inactivity in the market for Foreign
Sugar has increased since this day week: there conti-
nues to be a plentiful supply, and on the part of holders
there is a desire to realise. Although there are sellers
evenrather under previous rates, still little disposition has
been evinced to operate in any kind for exportation,
whilst the demand from the home trade has been limited,
and scarcely any purchases have been made by our
refiners working under bond. The supply is exceeding
the wants of all parties, and consists chiefly of the better
descriptions. At public sale a part only of 400 hhds
Porto Rico found buyers at a fall on former rates of 6d
per cwt.
COFFEE.—This afternoon there was little desire
evinced to operate in Native Ceylon, and 789 bags at
public sale went at 6d per cwt lower—good ordinary
selling at 32s 6d to 335, ordinary 325, and damaged 27s
to 33s per cwt. For all other sorts of Coffee the market
has a dull appearance, and prices are on the decline.
COCOA.—AII kinds of British Plantation are offering
upon further reduced terms, still little business has
transacted by private treaty, and 338 bags of Trinidad
at auction were only in part sold.
TEA.—Today the biddings were very languid for all
kinds of tea at the public sales, and of the quantity
offered, amounting to 12,145 pkgs, the small part only
of 1,200 found buyers at a fall on former rates of id on
fine Congou and on Souchong, whilst flowery Pekoe
went id, and Hyson Id to 2d cheaper.
Rice.—To-day there was no public sale of East India
Rice, and the business transacted privately was very li-
mited in all sorts, although there were sellers even rather
under former rates.
SPIRITS.—The purchases made in Jamaica Rum have
been to a small extent only by exporters and the home
trade, although there are sellers at a further decline in
prices of
i2d per gallon. The sales are 200 puns. De-
merara s dull of sale and ld to 2d cheaper, whilst only
50 puns have been sold. Leeward Island has been ope
rated in with caution, and a further fall took place;
the sales do not exceed 150 puns. The demand is ex.
tremely limited for East India. Havannah is dull of
sale and proof is not worth more than is 6d per gallon.
Brandy can be obtained at further reduced rates, still the
demand has been very limited both for home and export
use, and large parcels are pressed for sale, chiefly of old
landed sorts.

INDICO.—To-day, during the progress of the sale,
547 chests have been withdrawn, and 841 chests have
passed the sale. The improvement noticed above as
having taken Owe yesterday has scarcely been main-

Z:•:ALTPETIIE.—HoIders of rough arellalittslitsA to
submit to any further reduction in the •value, and they
I have refrained from offering any at auction. Privately,
however, only a limited demand has been experienced
from exporters or the home trade. English refined is
only in limited demand. Nitrate of Soda can be ob-
tained at lls 6d to 12s per cwt.
SPlCES.—Cassia Lignea is much required, and owing
to the small supply, buyers are compelled to pay stiffer
rates. Although the rates asked for Pimento
are high, still all kinds ligs be(-n sought after,
and the parcels disposed of '.urivately- were at stiff
rates ; whilst the quantity on offer is small.
Black Pepper is offered rather under previous prices,
and all kinds have been bought with caution privately.
Mace is held for the former value, viz. 2s 8d to 3s 4d,
and fine 3s 6d to 4s. Nutmegs cannot be had
upon lower terms, still the home and export de-
mand has fallen off, and privately only a limited business
has been concluded ; whilst 13 cases 6 casks at auction
were only in part disposed of. Cloves are wanted, but
at moderate prices. For Cinnamon the orders concluded
have been to a limited extent only. For Ginger prices
remain much the same as those previously current.
TURPENTINE.--Rough is held for lls to lls 6d, but
the purchases made have been of little moment, and there
is but a small quantity on offer. Spirits have been ope-
rated in with caution, and there are sellers of English
drawn at 44s to 455, and fine American at 45s to 45s 6d
per cwt, casks included. Ot Tar the arrivals are upon
a larger scale, still the rates asked are high.
OILS.—For Cocoa Nut Oil the demand has fallen off,
and the supply being larger a decline in the value has
taken place. Although Linseed Oil is offered upon
further reduced terms, still the home trade operated with
caution on the spot, whilst the shipping orders have
been trifling. For forward delivery there are few buyers.
Prices are still very remunernting, and the consump-
tion continues to be large. Rapeseed Oil is not much
required. The amount of business transacted in Olive
has been to a limited extent only by exporters as well as
the home trade. Palm is offered on reduced
terms, still the home and export demand has
been limited. For Fish Oils prices continue to
recede, and further parcels have arrived, whilst
large arrivals are near at hand. Seal met with little
attention privately. At auction 109 tuns were only in
part sold. Cod met with a dull sale. Southern of all
kinds has been operated in with caution by private treaty.
Sperm met with little attention privately, and prices
tend downward, whilst there is a fair supply. Lard
Oil sells steadily; but ground Nut Oil is dull of sale.

-
TALLOW.—On the spot the purchases made have
been to a limited extent only by both the town and
country trade, although fine new P. Y. Candle can be
obtained at 45s per cwt. At auction 142 casks of old were
sold. For forward delivery the operations have been to a
limited extent only, notwithstanding 44s to 44s 6d have
been accepted for first sort Yellow Candle. Home made
sells slowly. Other kinds met with little attention, and
can be obtained upon lower terms.

DANGEROUS COLLISION OF THE

VANGUARD AND MINERVA STEAMERS.
(BY A PASSENGER ON BOARD THE VANGUARD.)
The Vanguard left Greenock about half-past four
on Friday afternoon, having on board about 20 cabin
passengers. The weather was exceedingly calm and
clear. When off Corsewall Point, about 11 o'clock,
the passengers being mostly in bed, a frightful crash
was heard, and the writer, on reaching the deck,
found that the vessel had come in collison with the
steamer Minerva, from Dublin to Glasgow. The
scene at this time was terrific. The captain and
crew, not being aware of the extent of the danger,
could not allay the fears of the passengers, who
were rushing half-dressed on deck ; and a portion
of both crew and passengers were clinging with
eager grasp to the boats. In a short time,
however, the fears of the passengers were some-
what calmed, by the assurance of the captain that,
although at the time of the collision they were placed
in a very perilous position, yet, from an inspection
made of the damage, he was quite satisfied that there
was no danger, but that he, nevertheless, considered it
prudent to put back to Greenock.
I would not take it upon myself to say who, in
this case, was to blame. No doubt this will be made
the subject of judicial investigation. It must not be
forgotten that you had, very recently, to report a
somewhat similar accident, when a smack was cut in
pieces by the Vanguard, and a young man lost his
life. Certainly such accidents seem to demand mi-
nute investigation as to the efficiency of the crews of
our channel steamers, so that the lives of so many
human beings may not be so often put in jeopardy.
FROM OUR GREENOCK CORRESPONDENT.)
On Friday night, between eleven and twelve
o'clock, off Corse wall, as we are informed, the Van-
guard, on her trip from the Clyde to Dublin, and the
Minerva, from Dublin to the Clyde, came into col-
lision, when both vessels, it is said, were going almost
at full speed. The Vanguard was dreadfully shat-
tered in the starboard bows, the iron plates of the hull
and the timber work of the gunwale being stove in as
if they had been sheets of pasteboard, and great part
of the fore deck being carried away. The Minerva,
which ran into the Vanguard, has got her stem com-
pletely demolished. The Vanguard, of course, put
back to Greenock, and she and the Minerva are lying
at the steam-boat quay, both in a very pitiable plight.
We have not been able to ascertain the cause of this
unfortunate occurrence, as those connected with the
steamers seem unwilling to say anything about it.
We hear it reported that the Vanguard had no lights
exhibited at the time, and it is said by others that the
Minerva was six points away from her proper course.
There were, providentially, no lives lost, nor have we
heard of any one being injured, although some of the
Vanguard's forecastle berths were driven in.—North
British Mail of Monday.

TONBRIDGE.—FIRE.—On Tuesday evening last a
fire broke out in a large lodge, standing close to the
railway, and near to Brook-street. It was lined with
straw, and had a thatched roof ; it was at the time of
the fire peopled by hoppers, who were asleep. One of
them was awoke by the smoke, when he discovered the
place to be on fire; he immediately gave an alarm to the
rest, when they rushed out, leaving a girl about four
years old in the lodge. It was soon found to be impos-
sible to save her life, as the place was but one mass of
flames. After an hour had expired the child was got out
from the burning heap, but of course quite dead.—South-
Eastern Gazette.

PRINCELY PRESENT.-Sir Bellingham Graham,
the Vice-Commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron, has
presented one of his yachts—the Medina—to his late
sailing master, on his quitting his service. The Medina,
44 tons, is well found and fully equipped for sea, and
cannot have cost Sir Bellingham much less than a thou-
sand pounds within the last eighteen months. His other
yacht, the Flirt, of 132 tons, is being lengthened by the
bows in Mr. Joseph White's yard; she is to be ready for
a voyage up the Mediterranean in January. The Fairy
schooner, of 143 tons, Sir Hyde Parker, Bart., and the
Ariel schooner, of 118, Almon Hill, Esq., are both fitting
at Cowes, for the same destination.—From our Cozees
Correspondent.
FORCE or THE SEA DURING THURSDAY'S GALE.
—The force of the waves at the Bell Rock during the
late gale from the south-east, as indicated by the marine
dynamometer (records of which are daily registered),
was 2,874 lbs., or upwards of one-fourth of a ton per
superficial foot, being the greatest result obtained since
October, 1844, when a nearly similar force was indicated.
—Caledonian Mercury.

DEPARTURE OF THE CALEDONIA.—Adrices from
Liverpool state that the Royal Mail steam-ship Caledonia,
Captain Lott, sailed yesterday afternoon for Halifax and
Boston, with the usual mails and a full complement of
passengers.

DISTRESS IN PRESTON.—The poor's rate, for the
half year which expired on the 30th Sept. was one shil-
ling in the pound for the township of Preston. There
was a balance of upwards of 2,0001. in hand at ale com-
mencement of the half year, from the previous r ate; but,
with this balance the rate has been unequal to the de-
mands upon it, and the overseers are now abou t 2,0001.
in debt. The tax to be laid for the current h alf year
will, we understand, be at the least two shillini ;s in the
pound. The number of cases now on the bool :s of this
township is 1,400; the number of persons rectr iving re-
lief being probably about 5,000. This is in a d.dition to
the number of paupers in the workhouse; so that at the
present time not less than one-tenth of the pop elation of
Preston are receiving parochial relief. TwelA re months
ago the number of cases on the relief list was 343; the
number of persons participating in it, 849.
