merce generally, and especially on the vast commer-
cial enterprises of the modern Carthaginians. To
" the Merchants of old England, the Seigneurs
of the Seas," Mr. BROOKE must for ever
appear as not the least distinguished of their
benefactors. Hence it was doubly appropriate that
the freedom of the British capital should be conferred
upon the civilizer of Borneo, and the descendant of a
Lord Mayor of London, by the municipal council of
the most wonderful commercial metropolis in the
world.

Invested with the applause of his fellow-country-
men, robed, as it were, with the gratitude of
England—to which his name has become
a new honour—and crowned with the ap-
proval of his SOVEREIGN and the Government,
Mr. BROOKE will return to the scene of his memor-
able adventures with additional capacity to serve in
the cause of humanity. As Raja of SARAWAK he
has acquired the affections of the population of a con-
siderable portion of the people of Borneo; as Governor
of Labuan he maintains a line of facile communica-
tion between Singapore and Hong-Kong, and is
thereby qualified to protect our trade in the Asiatic
continent and archipelago ; and as the representative of
her Most Gracious MAJESTY he is now enabled to com-
mand the respect and obedience of the race upon whom
he has already conferred such benefactions. We think,
nevertheless, that his Excellency should not return to
Borneo without some other visible token of national
gratitude. The baronetcy could not honour him;
but he could honour the baronetcy. And never have
the golden spurs of knighthood been won more glo-
riously, whether in the tournay or on the battle-field,
than by JAMES BROOKE, Raja of Sarawak.

Within a few short weeks the decision of the Go-
vernment with respect to 'the monetary laws will be
made known. At this moment the several members
of the Cabinet are devoting their most anxious and
attentive consideration to the nature and extent of
the alterations that are to be brought forward. Much
will depend on the people themselves, and the energy
that may be displayed in the short interval that re-
mains before the assembling together of the Parliament.
As we have already repeatedly pointed out, it is a ques-
tion of the most vital importance to every person in
any degree dependent on his daily labour for his
daily support. There are, we believe, few English-
men who, whatever might be their own position,
would disregard the sufferings of their less
favourably circumstanced brethren, even though
their own personal interests were involved,
and they might possibly obtain luxuries at a
cheaper rate, on account of that general distress
and destitution, or be enabled to stretch a
fixed income to a greater extent. We are, therefore,
satisfied that when once the public mind is fully en-
lightened on the subject, when once the people gene•
rally are convinced that the national prosperity and
the welfare of the productive classes must in a great
degree depend upon the adoption of a wiser system,
and the circulation of a currency sufficient for the
wants of the country, that no selfish con-
siderations will induce them to oppose the
necessary monetary reforms, or to array them-
selves, in support of their own individual interests,
against the general good of the community.
But such persons cannot be expected to exhibit the
same activity, to exert themselves with such devotion
to the cause, as those to whom it is almost a question
of life and death, on the result of which it will de-
pend whether they are to enjoy the comforts to which
they have been accustomed, and which are suited to
their station in society, or to want the commonest
necessaries of life; whether they are to be in posses-
sion of a competence acquired by their own honest
industry, or to be reduced to a state of poverty and
destitution; whether there shall be an opening for
every intelligent and well-disposed man to advance his
position and aspire to place himself end his family
in a superior station, or that he should be wholly
debatred from any such prospect, and if not com•
pelled to retrograde, at least kept stationary, and
prevented from making any progress. We are eon-
vinced that there is scarcely an individual in this
mighty nation whose real interests would be injured
by a change such as we have suggested when advo-
cating the issue of a national note, that would answer
every possible purpose within the country, and for
which gold might readily be purchased by those who
required it for exportation, while millions would be
materially benefited, and their conditions greatly
ameliorated thereby.
We call, then, upon all in any manner interested
in trade, commerce, or manufactures to come for
ward and lend their aid ; we call upon the art

zans, the operatives, and the labourers to speak
out cpon this momentous question. Every demon-
stration made within the ensuing week will be of
tenfold greater value than a similar effort at a later
period. At present all that is known is, that the Act
of 1844 is condemned—that it must be erased from
the statute-book. But the contest will take place
on the real cause of all the mischief—the Act of
1819—to which the suspended statute has been well
described as a complement and a- corollary, in
fact, it is nothing but a more strict adherence to the
former law. Any attempt to bolster up that fatal prin-
ciple, to maintain the fixed price of gold, must
prove abortive, and lead to new evils, to repeated
returns of destitution and distress, in which addi-

tional sufferings will be endured, until the people,
made wise by the afflictions they have sustained, will
at length be aware of their mighty power, and in
their irresistible strength will overturn the entire
system that has occasioned such fearful calamities.
There should be no stinted or limited measure of
reform ; to prove effectual it should go to the very
root of the evil. There must be a free trade in gold
as well as in any other commodity. The money
of the country should be something that can
be obtained in our own dominions, of our own
production. As Mr. DUNCAN, at the meeting
of the Anti-Gold-law League, most truly
said, " Money should not possess an intrinsic
value. We consider that a sign is not the
thing signified. Money is the symbol, token, or
representative of the produce of labour. We recog-
nise labour as the source of all wealth." This is the
only just principle—the gold itself is only the repre-
sentative of the labour that is employed to obtain it ;
and whenever, either from the discovery of new mines,
or any other cause whatsoever, gold can be procured
by the expenditure of less labour, its price or value
must be proportionately deteriorated, no matter what
efforts may be made to render it invariable. But why
should so expensive a representative be made use of, and
more particularly why should that be selected which
is not the result of the labour of our own people ? It
is an enormous waste of our national resources to
have 50,000,000/. sterling passing from hand to hand
when every purpose could be as fully answered by
the adoption of that which would not cost fifty
hundreds. As Mr. DUNCAN stated, " an instrument
perfectly valueless is quite competent to discharge
taxation and distribute industrial produce amongst
ourselves ;" and that is what we require, guarded
with the utmost care against any abuse, and placed
under the control of a board responsible to Par-
liament and to the country for its judicious and
prudent management. But there is a reason, if pos-
sible, more urgent. than any we have hitherto used,
and which renders the alteration still more essential.
The national honour may be placed at the dis-

maintain liberal institutions, or oppose any wish of
the CZAR, who could in a moment ruin half our
merchants ? This alone would be a sufficient reason
for the change, if no other existed. We may, on a
future day, trace more fully the possible consequences
of this investment to the country in general.

At the meeting of the Swiss Diet, on the 25th, a
dispatch from the Government of St. Gall was com-
municated to the assembly, announcing that the re-
volt had been suppressed in that canton, but that the
Governments of Zurich, Argau, and Thurgau, had
nevertheless thought proper to call out the entire of
their first contingents. Colonel Durourt, the Com-
mander-in-Chief of the Federal army, took the oath
in the presence of the Diet, by which it was decided
that orders should be forwarded that night for the
levy of 50,000 men. The Diet was informed on that
day that Switzerland would be surrounded by a
military cordon on the side of Austria, Bavaria, Wir-
temberg, and France. The Grand Duke of BADEN
had refused to participate in the blockade, saying that
he felt no apprehensions from Switzerland. The
Deputy of Lucerne having asked if the levy of
50,000 men was a commencement of execution of the
coercive measures, the President replied that the Diet
would give its attention later to that object.
M. AMRHTN, the Federal Chancellor, a native of
Lucerne, has resigned his office.

It was rumoured at Berne that the first expedition
would be against Friburg.
The following is the letter of apology written by
the President of the Swiss Directory to Mr. PEEL,
the English Chargé d'Affaires :

" The President and the Council of State of the
Federal Directory have hastened to lay before the
Government of Berne the complaint that Mr. Peel,
the Charge d'Affaires of her Majesty the Queen of
Great Britain, addressed to them on the 21st of this
month, on the subject of the deplorable incident
which occurred to him during the preceding night,
and to invite that Government to give him an expla-
nation on the subject. The Government of the can-
ton of Berne immediately commanded an inquiry to
be instituted, from which it appears that the sentinel
on duty at the gate of Morat, after midnight of the
20th to the 21st inst., as soon as he saw a person ap-
proaching, called out three times in the German lan-
guage, " Who goes there ?" a question prescribed by
the military regulations, and arrested the person
unknown, who wished to pass. The guard
having taking arms, brought the person, whom
it pretends it did not know, into the guard-house.
But as soon as the guard perceived by the card
which the person unknown presented, that it had to
de with a person of a high position in society, it
awakened the gendarme attached to the guard-
house, who recognised the British Minister. Mr.
Peel was no longer prevented from returning to his
hotel. The Government of the canton of Berne, in
transmitting this information to the Federal Direc-
tory, expresses its most earnest and sincere regret on
the subject of this deplorable incident, and the Fe-
deral Directory, on its side, considers it an act of
duty to repeat to the Charge d'Affaires of Great Bri-
tain the same sentiments, expressing to him at the
same time how much distressed it is that Mr. Peel
should have had to endure anything so disagreeah!e
as the circumstance above stated. The President
and the Council of State of the Federal Directory
have the honour to renew to the Charge d'Affaires of
her Britannic Majesty the assurances of their most
distinguished consideration.

Madrid papers of the 23d have arrived.
The Gaceta publishes the following :
.
" ROYAL DECREE.
" In conformity with the advice of the Council of
Ministers, and in consideration of the reasons mani-
fested to me by my Minister of Finance, I hereby
order the suspension, until the Cortes shall have de-
termined on what is most convenient, of the execution
of my Royal decree of the 11th of June last, relative
to the sale of the property of the four military orders,
and that of St. Jahn of Jerusalem.

" Given at the Palace this 20th of October, 1847.
" Signed by the Royal hand.
;Countersigned) " FRANCISCO ORLANDO,
Minister of Finance."

On the 20th a Ministerial crisis had existed in con-
sequence of the attempts of MARIA CHRISTINA and
NARVAEZ to coerce the unfortunate QUEEN into the
dismissal from her service of the Aya I)oNA Cala-
Luse and the Count of SANTA COLONNA, who are
personal friends of the QUEEN. CHRISTINA coaxed
and NAuvAsz bullied in vain. The QUEEN declared
twat she would, if the attempt were persevered
Va, instantly dismiss her Ministers, and the
attempt was for the time abandoned. The
odds, however, against tile unfortunate young
QUEEN were too strong ; she was alone against
CHRISTINA, NARVAEZ, and the Ministry, and, after
two days' struggle, she was forced to yield to their
threats, and her friends are consequently dismissed.
The QUEEN is now a captive in her own Palace, all
her friends have been driven from her presence, and
no person, diplomatist, or otherwise, is permitted to
have access to, or to hold communication, with her
MAJESTY save known and sworn Afrancesados.
The whole of the medical attendants of tke Court
have resigned, and a certain NUNEZ has been ap-
pointed physician to her MAJESTY. Contempo-
raneously with this change in the medical staff
reports were industriously circulated in Madrid
by the paid agents of the Afrancesados that
the QUEEN'S health was suffering, and that
a voyage to Italy had been recommended.
Other agents of the same party, and paid from the
same purse, are circulating the most atrocious reports
against the character of the QUEEN, and, although
these wretches have been denounced to the police,
to NARVAEZ, and to MARIA CHRISTINA, they are still
permitted to proceed in their dirty work unmolested.
The all but openly avowed object of these atrocious
intrigues is to get the QUEEN out of the country,
under pretence of ill health, and to inaugurate a
regency, composed of CHRISTINA, NARVAEZ, and the
Duchess of MONTPENSIER, whose French education
has, it is supposed, by this time, eradicated every
spark of patriotism or feeling for Spanish nationality
which she may have once possessed.

A letter from Olot, in the district of Gerona, states
that a small band of Montemolinists marched into it
on the evening of the 15th, uttering shouts in favour
of the Count DE, MONTEMOLIN, and that they re-
mained there for some hours, notwithstanding there
was a garrison of 200 men.

" The new facilities given by the Bank," says the
National," will no doubt revive some good houses, but
how many bad ones will take advantage of them ?
And how is legitimate trading to be distinguished
from speculation ? On the other hand anybody who
attributes the crisis solely to a want of circulation is
strangely mistaken. The true cause is a deficiency
of metallic currency. Now what will be the effect
of the measure ? Will it attract metal to England ?
That is doubtful. This is probably what will be the
the result :—The Bank of England will perhaps issue
2,000,0001. worth of bank-notes. Those 2,000,0001.
will be circulated, and will relieve those most em-
barrassed. So far, so well. But these 2,000,0001.
are payable in gold at sight. Now, who can say that
those into whose hands they may pass will not demand
their repayment ? Thence a new cause of the dimi-
nution of the metallic reserve, and consequently a forced
diminution, because in a moment of crisis money is
quickly withdrawn from circulation. Now, the evil
consists precisely in the forced diminution of the re-
serve of bullion. Consequently it is to be apprehended
that, after a passing and precarious relief, greater
distress will be experienced within a period not far
distant."
The Conservateur argues in the same strain, but
there is one important element that all these parties
seem to have left out of their consideration, and that
is the great
improbability that Parliament will per-
mit the experiment of 1844 (the signal failure of
which is now, on all hands, acknowledged), to be re-
peated. On this point we entirely agree with the
Constitutionnel, which says—
" What will be the ultimate fate of the Bill of
1844 ? Is it suspended temporarily, only to be again
brought into force when present circumstances shall
have passed away ? Lord John Russell, indeed,
seems to announce by his letter that he wishes to
maintain a law which has established the circulation
of the country on a solid basis. But to us it appears
difficult to restore to its vigour a Bill that has once
been suspended. It is evident, in fact, that the re-
strictions it imposes were especially applicable to
epochs of crises like the present, when specie must
be rare from exportations to foreign countries. Now,
if the Minister declares that under critical circum-
stances these restrictions cannot be taken off without
alarm, how can he maintain their utility in ordinary
times ? We, for our parts, doubt whether the Bill of
1844 can ever recover again from the check which it
has received."
A pamphlet from the pen of M. CAPEFIGUE, en-
titled La Presidencc du Conseil de M. Guizot et la
Majorite de 1847, is just now creating a great sensa-
tion in the political salons of Paris. Prepared under
the immediate directions of M. GUIZOT himself (so
runs the' rumour), this pamphlet is put forth as a
feeler, to ascertain how far the Government dares

venture in its policy of reaction. The writer advo•
cates the restoration of the law of primogeniture,
and the abolition of the liberty of the press and of
trial by4tEly.. It is a high bid for the support of the
absolutist powers, but it has overshot its mark, and has
created such a feeling of disgust throughout France,
that M. GUIZOT has himself been obliged to denounce

it in the Debats as a code of reaction, and to decline
the compliments paid to him by the author, as the
man of all others best fitted for the accomplishment
of the task of destroying liberty in France and re-
storing things to the state in which they were before
1789.

The Moniteur Parisien of yesterday evening has
the following:—
" The post-boat destined to act as a batardeau, or
breakwater between the present floating dock at
Cherbourg, was, in the evening of the 25th, put on
one of the slips of the building yard of Chantereine
for some necessary repairs. Under this circumstance
it was impossible for vessels to go out of the dock at
high tide without great risk, and therefore it was
resolved that the post-boat should be again launched
when the tide fell. In performing this operation the
fastenings of the hawsers and chain were broken, and
the boat came down the inclined plane with such ye.
locity, that the shores, by which it was supported,
were scattered with great force in all directions, and
killed seven men employed in the yard, and wounded
twenty-three others more or less severely. These
latter were carried to the hospital, and have every
care taken of them that their cases require, and the
Minister of the Marine has given orders for relief to
be afforded to their familia."

We have received the Paris papers of Thursday.
A Cabinet Council was held on that day at St.
Cloud, at which the KING presided. The affairs of
Switzerland were discussed, and M. DUCHATEL and
M. GUIZOT warmly advocated an armed intervention
in the affairs of that country. The Minister of War
is, it is said, opposed to an armed intervention, and
the KING is in favour of exhausting every means of
settling affairs amicably before having recourse to
such a measure.

The measures adopted by the English Government
to relieve the pressure are the subject of comment in
all these papers. The Bullionist Debats says—

remind our readers, that the Russian AUTOCRAT in
the course of the present spring caused no
less than 30,000,000 of silver roubles, equivalent to
4,600,0001. sterling, to be invested in the purchase of
securities, chiefly English stock ; this was in addition
to the sum of 2,000,0001. sterling just before ad-
vanced to the Bank of France in the purchase of
the inscription of French Rentes. Here, then,
we find no less than 6,600,0001. which the
EMPEROR may at any time sell out, and
withdraw the amount in bullion to his own do-
mihions. We have already witnessed the fearful
effects of a drain of six or seven millions of old,
although it took place gradually, and in exchgang
for fool provided for the
people; what would be the consequence of a sudden taking
away of more than four millions and a half
in gull, without any equivalent whatever ?
If it occurred during the existence of the present

sion, and paralyse our entire trade and commerce,

" We would willingly define the hardy measure
adopted by the British Government, not as a Govern-
ment illegality (coup d'etat), but a cast of the dice
(coup de de). It is possible that the measure may
succeed, and that the Bank may win the game. It is
possible that the Bank may lose. It must win if the
increase of its paper in circulation does not slacken
the movement of gold, which was beginning to flow
into England from different points of the commercial
world, and if it does not rather occasion a fresh ex-
port of that metal—if, in fine, the Bank, in order to
maintain sufficient gold in its coffers with which to
change its notes, should not be obliged to adopt a new
restriction, which would become more dangerous
after the expansion of credit which is about to take
place. We do not wish to predict, but we find it im-
possible to contemplate this unknown future without
a certain apprehension. We have seen by the Bank
returns with what rapidity bullion left its coffers, and
what a feeble reserve remained. What would be the
consequence if this movement should still continue, or
if it should recommence after having ceased—the
certain consequence of a return of confidence induced
by the decision of the Bank ? It is certain that
neither the English capitalists nor speculators occupy

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet.
The sales of the week are 22,200 bales. The market
has been firmer this week. Stock, 420,000 bales against
571,300 bales at this time last year.
For Railway shares there was rather a better inquiry.
The Bank of England returns are this week of rather
an important character, and we give them at more than
the usual length. Another week of Peel's Bill and it is
our firm conviction that there must have been a suspen-
sion of discounts, such would have been the demand upon
the resources of the Bank in consequence of the timidity
and indisposition to accommodate in the ordinary chan-
nels. In all probability now the Bank has the power to
increase its issues, other discount establishments will be
anxious to compete with it for business, and hence a
gradual relaxation of the pressure may occur. The
notes unemployed were not much over 1- millions, as
the Bank was compelled to make use of them to meet
dividends, and to make advances upon other securities.
The return is well worth attention :

whether this arises from the greater ease in the Money
