LONDON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1848.

The rate of interest at the Bank of England on
bills not having more than three months to run,
was yesterday reduced from 3} to 3 per cent. It
sill, we believe, generally be coeceded that the di-
rectors of the great national establishment should
not charge a higher rate of discount, or maintain a
higher price for money, than the various bankers and
great discount houses, by which they are surrounded,
and who are not entitled to any exclusive or extraor-
dinary privileges. It is yet notorious that for some
time past money could be obtained freely on first class
paper on easier terms than at the Bank of England.
If, therefore, the directors were not prepared to sacrifice
the business of the concern, to disregard altogether
the interests of the proprietors of Bank Stock, and to
report at the next half-yearly meeting, a divi-
dend becoming "small by degrees, and beau-
tifully less," no other course remained but to
announce an immediate reduction. They have
already disgusted many of those who had been among
their best customers by the stringency of their
proceedings. Men who had successfully weathered
the storm, and fully and fairly met every liability,
were denied the accommodation they had just reason to
expect, and compelled to make heavy sacrifices. which
a more liberal spirit on the part of the directors would
have rendered quite unnecessary. The screw, which
was put on during a
period of panic and general ces-
sation of credit, was kept up to the fullest ex tent
when there could no longer be the slightest
necessity
for a course so detrimental to the industrious classes
generally, and mere especially to all those in any
manner engaged in trade or manufactures, or earning
their daily bread by the sweat of their brows. The di-
rectors, however, attempted to keep up the artificial
scarcity of money at any loss to the proprietors,

whose interests it might have been suppesed it was
their especial duty to protect. The Bank reserve
was increased to an extent far beyond the amount
which is generally considered to be fully sufficient for
the business of the Bank, and which might have been
issued to the public with the most perfect safety;
whiles t the same time large sums were drawn in

every week from the public, to wham accommoda

tion was meted out with a most nigsardly
and sparing hand. Private securities were

jeSS and less in every week, until the

amount was reduced in leas than one short year from

20,409;8971. to 10,847,2101., the first being the

JARNO WICK

Being on one occasion in the bureau of Bailleux, the
music seller, or as the foolish Parisians lay, t Editeur de
Musique," accidentally broke a pane of gess. The keen,
avaricious eyes of Bailleux twinkled in a moment, pro-
ducing a corresponding twitch on both sides of his
mouth. " Those who break windows must pay for
them 1" exclaimed he.. "Right !" replied Jarnowick,
" right ! What is the damage?" " Thirty sous 1"
" Well then ! there's a three-franc piece." " I have no
change, Monsieur ! "Oh never mind," rejoined the
imperturbable Jarnowick, at the same time dashing his
cane through a second square, " there now, we are quits,'

MUSIC OF NATURE.
Among the Javanese there exists a tradition which
relates, that their first idea of music arose from the cir-
cumstance of one of their ancestors having heard the air
make a melodial sound as it passed through the hollow
of a bamboo, tube which happened to be hanging acciden-
tally from a tree. It induced him to imitate it. Thus,
perhaps, may be derived the fable that music descended
from heaven. They have a very curious species of
mlian instrument formed of bamboo, very common to
some of the Australasian isles, which emits as well some
very fine tones as elicits some most discordant notes.

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 28th ult. have arrived.
M. LEVRIER, the French police agent, who arrested
ESCOSURA and the other Spanish refugees at Per-
pignan, has arrived at Madrid, and been feted by
CHRISTINA and NARVAEZ.

The accounts which have been received at Madrid
from the insurgent provinces are of a very contradic-
tory character.

AND

AUSTRIA, BOHEMIA, AND
HUNGARY.

We are still without any direct communications
from Vienna. It appears, however, beyond a dot.bt
that it has been attacked and bombarded by WIN-
DISCMGRATZ, and that his troops have suffered se-
verely, and when the last accounts left had failed to
make themselves masters of the town. JELLACHICII
has been compelled to retire, and the citizens are de•
termined to destroy the city rather than surrender.
The defence of Vienna can only be paralleled by the
defence of Saragossa.
The Breslau Gazette, of the 29th ult., gives the
following letter from Vienna :—" A report was spread
that the city had surrendered to Prince WINDISCII-
- ATZ on the 25th October, but this turns out
to be false, as appears by the following letter, dated
Lungerburg, Oct. 26 The brave Viennese are
everywhere conquerors up to the present moment ;
they maintain a murderous fire. The Austrian
officers say, if it khou:d continue they will not
have sufficient troops left to take the
city. 11( re are only 150 men alive of the chasseurs
who attacked the ei'y by the Prater. Yesterday,

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
At the opening of the sitting of the Assembly on
Thursday the President, M. &NAND, said—
I claim your attention to a grave proposition, fully
deserving your solicitude. You, no doubt, remarked
that last evening I indicated to you a single nomination
to be made to. day, from a feeling which you all appre-
ciated, for you knew that another Member of your
board was to be replaced. You felt that before appoint-
int-, a successor to General Negrier. the Assembly
should pay its debt to his memory and family. General
Nei; rier, with whose military career and heroical devo-
tion you are all acquainted, was born in Portugal of
French parents. He was brought from Lisbon by
Marshal Lasnes. It was our colleague, General
Subervie, then aide-de camp of the Marshal,
who accompanied him into France. The General has
left a very small patrimony to his family. Noble-minded
and munificent, his heart and purse were always open
to relieve his less fortunate and necessitous comrades,
and his widow and two children actually possess no
means of existence. The former is only entitled to a
small pension of 1,500 francs per annum. His daughter
is married, and his son, nineteen years of age, whom I
pressed this morning in my arms, has enlisted as a
volunteer in the 7th Regiment of the line. He was
studying to fit himself for the Military School of St.
Cyr, and was on the point of passing his examination.
I accordingly propose to you to vote the following
decree:

BAVARIA.

MUNICH, JUNE 25.—DEATH OF THE DOWAGER GRAND
DUCHESS MARIA LEOPOLDINE.—On the afternoon of the
23d, while driving up the Waperburg hill, on her way to
Vienna, the carriage of the Grand Duchess was suddenly
overturned by a waggon, coming down the hill without
a drag. The illustrious lady had her collar bone broken.
and expired shortly after, while her maid of honour.
who was sitting by her side, escaped with a slight wound.
Her Royal Highness was by birth Princess and Arch-
duchess of AUSTRIA (D'EsTE), and was born December2o,
1776, and married, on the 14th February, 1795,
CHARLES THEODORE, Electral Prince of BAVARIA.
She became a widow on the 16th February, 1799. Her
Royal Highness having desired by her last wish, ex-
pressed in writing, that all funeral pomp shall be dis-
pensed with, and that she should be interred simply as
Countess D'Aitco on the family estate of Sheppbug, the
usual public mourning will bo omitted. It is said that
she has left an immense fortune—some say more than
fifteen million florins—to her children by a left-handed
marriage with Count Louis D'Anco.

have broken out at St. Petersburgh, and that tranquil-
lity w•as not restored until several lives had been lost.

the House would agree to their sitting on this day
(Saturdal).—(Oh, Os.)
Mr. M. 61,,-;ON apprehended that they could not be
sitting in a C. u (q) of Ways and Means„ as such a
Committee couM or. sit on any days but Monday,
Wednesday, and Fc.iiay. Yet it wai usual to move re-
solutions on the sugir duties in Committee of Ways
and Means.

Lord J. RUSSELL slid he had asked the opinion of
the Speaker on the subject, and his opinion was, that re-
solutions on the sugar duties should be moved is Committee
of Ways and Means if they were annual duties; but as the
Act of 1846 had made them permanent, it was more
conformable with the rules of the Howse to move the re•
solutions in a general Committee of the whole Houses
He did not think he could have better authority.
Mr. GIBSON was satisfied on that point, but as the
question moved by his Honourable Friend (Mr. Bright)
was a most important one, he thought it but fair that
those who n-presented the manufacturing interest, and
held free-trade opinions, should obtain further time for
discussion. As yet he heard no arguments to justify
any intethrenee with the Act of 1846.—(Hear, hear.)
His Hon. Friend (Mr. Mowatt) did not therefore require
any apology for moving the adjournment.
Colonel SIBTIIORY said that the Government were
alone to blame for not introducing the question at as
earlier period of the session.— (Hear, hear.) What would
the Noble Lord opposite have done if a Jew had a seat
in that House?—(Laughter, and hear, hear.)
After a few words irom Sir J. PARINGTON and Mr.
MOWATT,

Mr. COBDEN said that the present was a free• trade
question, and as the able arguments of his Hon. Friend
(Mr. Bright) had not been answered, but merely met by
a financial stateme4t of the Right Hon. Gentleman,
the ChancMor of the Exchequer, which was very gra-
tifying in some ret-ptcts, it was but fair and right that
a question in which the public had so much interest
should be fully discussed.—(Elear, bear.)
Lord J. RUSSELL said that as the able speech of
the lion. Member for Manchester had not been an-
swered he thought the Hon. Member for the West Rid-
ing ought to be satisfied with that, without making
another speech in support of it.—(Laughter.)
Mr. COBDEN said the question was one of prin-
ciple, and he thought it ought to be discussed on its
merits.

After a few words from Mr. M. GIBSON,
Mr. BRIGHT said it was not at all necessary that
the measure should pass before the Bch of July ; and
seeing that Gentlemen opposite had had two debates
and two divisions, he thought it hard that the advocates
of free trade should be shut out from discussion by
forcing the present debate to a conclusion.
The gallery was cleared, when, as we were afterwards
informed, the motion for adjournment was withdrawn,
and a division taken on the main question. The num-
bers were--

For the resolution 302.
Against it
Majority —266..
After a short discussion,

The CIIAIRMAN reported progress. Report to be
received, on Atonday next, it being understood that tho
further diseussion of the question should be concluded

countries—the want of a resident, a solvent, and an
unembarrassed proprietary.

While continental powers are being harassed and
almost totally annihilated, it is pleasing to contemplate
the fact that our own tight little island is still as safe
as ever. We are led to make these remarks, believing
that the extension of mutual life assurance generally
has much to do with our national peace and prosperity,
and we unhesitatingly assert that this legitimate system
of providing for a family not only tends to promote
our national prosperity and peace, but it is one that
ought to be fostered by the Executive Government,
and we trust the day is not far distant when Ministers
will see the policy of affording every assistance to the
extension of the principle. We candidly avow ourselves
the advocates of mutual life assurance, and think no man
wise who neglects to avail himself of such a privi-
lege ; we contend for the principle, and while our
readers have the choice of offices which suit their
various circumstances, and without pointing to any
particular one—for all on this principle are good—we
do with much pleasure call attention to the report of
the meeting for the first division of profits of the
Provident Clerks' Association, which we insert in our
columns of this day, by which it appears that the
attention of that very useful and intelligent body, the
clerks of this country, has been drawn to so valu-
able a mode of provision, and that by the report sub-
mitted to the meeting, not only have all claims (by
death) been paid, but the surplus, after providing for
all contingencies, has enabled the board to declare
a bonus of about 33 per cent. on all policies entitled
_ _

to participate. Happy England that can show such
a state of affairs, the results of prudence and fore-
thought ! Reader, are you assured ? If not, delay
not a moment. Select your office, and let not another
day pass over your head without being able to say in
the affirmative—My life is assured.

LOMBARDY AND VENICE.

flouncing that the Venetian (3,,vernment, with the c
sent of Lombardy end the POPE, has placed him at t
head of all the troops there assembled from all parts of
Italy to wage war against the Austrians, and recom
mending discipline as the must necessary element t o
ensure victory.
On the 24th the Austrians made a sortie from Manturt,
but were repulsed with groat loss.
Advicei from the head-quarters of the Sardinitn
army, of the 22d, say that ell the 20th an attempt wits
made to recover the plateau of Rtvoli by a column of
3,000 Austrians. They were repulsed and put to flight,
with the loss of 400 killed and r,,•ounded.
Lettere from Venice of the :?oth June say that the
provinces were menaced with attack at Mazzorbo, Mal-
ghera, Tresina, and Brondolo by a .corps of 15,000 Aus-
trianr. The garrison of Venice cons, ited of 20,000 men,
and the city was well provided. Gene,43.l PEPE had the

a drag. The illustrious lady had her collar bone broken.
and expired shortly after, while her maid of honour_
who was sitting by her side, escaped with a slight wound.
Her Royal Highness was by birth Princess and Arch-
duchessof AUSTRIA (D'ESTE), and was born December2o,
1776, and married, on the 14th February, 1795,
CHARLES THEODORE, Electral Prince of BAVARIA.
She became a widow on the 16th February, 1799. Her
Royal Highness having desired by her last wish, ex-
pre.,sed in writing, toat all funerz(l pomp shall be dis
pensed with, and Oat she should be interred simply as
Countess D'ARCO on the fimily estate of Sheppbug, the
usual public mourning will be omitted. It is said that
she has left en immense fortune—some say more than
fifteen million florins—to her children by a left-handed
marriage with Count Louis D'Artuo.

RUSSIA.
Letters from Russia state that serious disturbances
have broken out at St. Petersburgh, and that tranquil.
lity was not restored until several lives had been lost.

ITALY.

LOIIIBARDY AND VENICE.

The Venlidue Marzo. of Milan, publishes an order of
the day of GENERAL PEPE, dated Venice, the 18th, an •
nouncing that ►he Venetian Government, with the con-
sent of Lombardy end the POPE, has placed him at the
head of all the troops there assembled from all parts of
Italy to wage war against the Austrians, and recom-
mending discipline as the most necessary element to
ensure victory.
On the 24th the Austrians made a sortie from Mantua,
but were repulsed with great loss.
Advices from the head-quarters of the Sardinian
army, of the 22d, say that on the 20th an attempt was
made to recover the plateau of Rivoli by a column of
3,000 Austrians. They were repulsed and put to flight,
pith the loss of 400 killed and wounded.

Letters from Venice of the 20th June say that the
provinces were menaced with attack at Mazz9rbo, Mal-
ghera, Tresina, and Brondolo by a corps of 15,000 Aus-
trians. The Barris of Venice consisted of 20,000 men,
and the city was well provided. General PEPE had the
command.

OVER LAND MAIL

We have received by extraordinary express journals
from Bombay to the 20th of May, and Calcutta to
the Bth.

There is very little stirring. The affair of Mooltan
still occupied the public attention, but nothing of im-
portance had since occurred.

Mr. Wilkinson, the apothecary, who was reported
:o have been killed, has, we are happy to say, escaped.
We understand that the result of the deliberations v 4 as
hat no troops should be dispatched; and the wisdom ler
:he determination cannot be for a moment doubted.

From Mooltan itself we have very little. The only
item on which any dependence can be placed is to the
effect that the Dewan was so closely watched by his own
troops that any attempt on his part to fly to Lahore, and
endeavour to exculpate himself, would be useless.
Our Malta correspondent informs us that various
councils have been held at Malta respecting measures for
the defence of that important naval station.
The whole of the troops in the Jullunder Doab are
said to have been warned to hold themselves in readiness
to move at a moment's notice ; but we think it very
unlikely that any actual march will take place until after
the monsoon.
In Bombay considerable indecision has prevailed. On
the arrival of the last steamer from Sinde, with a re-
quisition fur reinforcements, an express was, it is be-
lieved, sent to his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief,
then at the hills. The consequence was that the officers
of her Majesty's Bth Regiment, on leave at Mahabu-
leshwur, were ordered to join their corps without delay,
and a division order was issued at Poonah, directing a
wing of her Majesty's Bth Regiment to be iu readiness to
proceed to Bombay, and thence to Sinde ; a wing of her
Majesty's 22d Regiment to proceed to Bombay for gar-
rison duty, and a detachment of the let Grenadier regi •
ment of Native Infantry to proceed to 'fauna,
and relieve the wing of the 29th Na-
tive Infantry there stationed. A troop of
Horse Artillery was likewise ordered to prepare to
move. It was also reported that the 24th, 26th, and
29th Native Infantry, at Bombay, would in all
likelihood be sent without delay to Kurrachee. The
order, however, for the officers of her Majesty's
Bth to join their corps was shortly afterwards can-
celled, and no actual movement of troops took
place from Poonah. On the morning of the 17th, Sir
Willoughby Cotton arrived in Bombay—we believe most
unexpectedly. lie came down to attend the meeting of
Council and assist in the decision of the point whether
troops, were, or were not, to be sent to, Sinde.—

The total amount of railway calls due during July
is nearly four millions sterling, or about one million and
a half in excess of the amount called for during the
month just expired, and is greater than any previous
amount demanded this year, except in January last,
when the total instalments required to be paid up was
nearly five millions sterling. Compared with the amount
called for in July, 1847, the present sum exhibits a de-
crease of nearly one million and a half sterling. The
total amount of capital demanded on railway calls to the
end of July in the present year is 22,437,9314, against
27,394,2201. to corresponding period of 1847, being a
decrease of 4,956,2921.
