TIIE SOURCES OF TIIE NILE.

The expedition to discover the sources of the Nile,
which the Viceroy in Egypt has initiated, and which
has occupied, for the past six months, the attention
of the learned of Europe, after delays inevitable to
the development of such matters, has started. The
Count d'Escayrac de l'Auture, to whom the com-
mand has been entrusted, after having obtained,
on the 20th of last July, the Viceroy's approbation
of the plan, came to Europe to procure the neces-
sary adjuncts for the execution of his enterprise.
Authorised to select twelve assistants, be sought
in Austria officers of topographical celebrity ; in
Prussia, a well-informed engineer ; in France,
naturalists ; in England, nautical assistance ; and
America has furnished him with an excellent
photographer, so necessary on such an explora-
tion . He has selected in London, Paris, Berlin,
and Vienna the necessary instruments for observa-
tions of the greatest variety, and nothing has been
neglected that could in any possibility interest
the scientific world. Magnetic observations will
not be neglected ; the iniusoria invisible to the
eye Rill be studied according to the custom of the
most perfect naturalists ; geography will rest on
astronomical observations ; ethnography, so full of
interest, in that part of the world, will be the ob-
ject of the constant attention and particular efforts
of men whose knowledge has been already
proved; photography will lend to science the
most valuable assistance ; it will thus bring before
the eyes of learned men a new world, and the
people of Europe will see all the expedition has
encountered of the interesting and remarkable.
This expedition, which has for its aim the discovery
of portions of Africa where the foot of the white
man has never trod, promises to make us better
acquainted with these unknown countries than
we are even with some parts of Europe. The
expenses of the expedition will be consider-
able, as the Viceroy has provided it with
everything that can forward its success ; and a
sufficient escort will protect these missionaries of
civilisation during their perilous expedition. Nu-
merous boats with steamers will transport them up
the Nile, as far as the last point where this river is
navigable. The expedition has every thing in its
favour, in the great experience of its commander
and the generous ardour of those who take part in
it. The Count d'Escayrac does not deceive hiraseif
as to the difficulties which attend him ; but what-
ever obstacles he may encounter he is prepared to
meet and to conquer. Thus the problem of the
sources of the Nile is near its solution, and the inte-
-1 riorof Africa will be probably opened to science, at
the same time that the Red Sea, through the Isthmus
of Suez, may possibly be opened to the commerce of
all people. These two great undertakings will have
been the work of one prince, whose name will be
carried down to the most distant posterity. En-
lightened Europe regards with interest the course
of this expedition, and the Emperfor Napoleon has
given a mark of his approbation in naming the
Count d'Escayrac an officer of the Legion of
Honour. The count started on the 3d of this
month for Trieste, which he was to leave on the
18th ; his companions will join him at Cairo in the
beginning of October, and the expedition will then
begin to ascend the Nile. We shall expect its re-
turn in two years, which will prove a great event
in the scientific world ; for whatever happens, the
prolonged stay of twelve learned Europeans in the
most unknown part of the world cannot fail to
create great interest. We give the names of those
engaged in this expedition :
Le Comte d'Escayrac de l'Auture, commander of
the expedition; M. A.ubaret, a lieutenant in the
French navy and a chevalier of the Legion of
Honour ; M. Mayer, mining engineer, of Branden-
burgh, Prussia ' - M. Richard, doctor of medicine
and surgery, of Paris ; M. Boleslawsky, lieutenant
of the Ist Pionniers of Metrovitz, an Austrian,
attache to the Imperial and Royal Institute of
Military Geography; M. Della Sala Count Kinsky,
of Milan, lieutenant in the 47th Infantry, attache
to the Imperial and Royal Institute of Military
Geography ; M. Geng, assistant topographer, of
Vienna, an attache to the Imperial and Royal In-
stitute of Military Geography ; M. Pouchet, licencie
en sciences, of Rouen, France ; Mr. Anthony W.

r Now that Captain Richard Burton, so celebrated
for his daring visit to Mecca and Medinah, and his
penetration to the city of Harar, in Abyssinia, is
about to start under the direction of the Royal
Geographical Society of London, for East Africa,
for the purpose of penetrating to Like Uniamesi,
and, if possible, to the sources of the Nile, it is
greatly to be hoped that the Foreign Office may
direct Dr. Vogel to turn his steps south-eastwards
from Like Chad, with the same objects in view.

ANOMALIES IN THE ENGLISH
CHARACTER.

(From the Times.)

There is hardly any amount of wrong or of an-
noyance which the Englishman is not prepared to
endure or inflict, as the case may happen to be.
Of the two he prefers to inflict it, but he also en-
dures it.very kindly. When he is once in harness,
well strapped up, and his head as it ought to be,
he is as patient as a cab horse. The fact is, we are
of a mulish breed, half Norman, half Saxon, and,
as an Irishman would add, with several more
halves from other races. The spirit of our nume-
rous fathers is still in us, and sometimes it is a
vA-37- noble, sometimes a very donkeyish one.
While we pride ourselves on a dozen self-einancipa-
tions, we tolerate an amount of inconvenience and
worse in our public institutions, in the condition
of our towns, and in our domestic habits, that
would drive a Frenchman to insurrection and a
German to madness. The truth is, that under
the flattering conviction that we have a voice in
making the laws wo put ourselves in two positions
at once, or, rather, we are continually performing
that feat of ventriloquism which consists in one
man talking as if it were two or three dozen
voices. This reconciles us to the worst evils, for
A: we suffer them we have the consolation that
we also help to inflict them. We have no pass-
ports ; we don't pay a quarter of a farthing for
every half-dozen cabbages brought into our towns;
our market-gardeners and our hay and corn-chand-
lers do not stop for 20 minutes outside our towns
to have their innocent loads stabbed and perfo-
rated, pummelled, ripped open, and gutted. We
have not the mairie and the prefecture, the douanc
and the octroi, intruding into every stage of our
existence. On the other hand, few and f►voured
are the localities where one can ride or
drive five miles without being stopped by a
privileged footpad and asked for lid. or 4id.,
or some other odd sum. The Welsh Celt fairly re-
biled against the nuisance a few years ago; but
the English Saxon grumbles, stops his horse, pulls
off his glove, unbuttons his great-coat, fumbles in
his pocket, draws out his purse, asks for change,
pays, and drives off with a ticket he does not know
what to do with. Then as to rates and taxes, not
one householder in a hundred knows or has the
means of knowing whether he is cheated or not.
He pays, and pays, till he can pay no longer, and
beats a retreat, by going to a cheaper house or re-
ducing his establishment. We are rather proud,
indeed, of what we pay and suffer, as long as we
are able. The reduced gentlewoman remembers
with complacency that she paid rates and taxes 30
years ago in Marylebone parish, and knows the
figure to a shilling. It is a pardonable vanity in
that sex, btr,-, the other ought to look a little more
ii.to these matters.

But what a power of patience, what a strong
tradition of Caxonistn, what a preponderance of the
asinine parentage there must be in the honest
d; udges of Manchester, to have stood for these- 200
years to be fleeced by the Corporation of Liverpool !
When Mr. Fox was addressing h is Lancashire friends
the other day he spoke strongly indeed on thiei point,
but he hardly gave it the importance and the
precedence it deserves. Indeed it should almost
.atop the mouth of any agitator from the backs of
the Irwell, or any district drawing its supplies
from the Mersey. There is no tax under the sun,
and no application of a tax, not even a grant for
an Australian bishopric, to compare with the enor-
mity of the Manchester people; with so many
calls for money in their own huge city, paying
many thousands a-year for the decoration of
Liverpool. What can they he made of ?
Div „oniter that with such excellent home discip-
-1., no they have till lately proved such patient tri-
b ataric3 t o ho Imperial Treasury. Tile bread-Lax,
the cotton-wool tax, the geese tax, the foreign pork
tax, and all the rest of them, aimed, as everybody
knows at the manufacturing districts, certainly did
strike one sometimes as more than an enterprising,
hard-working, hungry Englishman
i could be ex-
pected to bear. But the bearers, n the chief re-
gion of these people, had been well trained in their
youth in what might be called their home educa-
tion. As Mr. Fox observes, the British people
collectively cut off Charles I.'s head became he
wanted to tax them without their consent ; but

when the same Monarch gave to the borough of
Liverpool the right of .taxing the commerce of the
whole country without any check at all the victims
scarcely murmured from that day to this, for two
hundred years. The victims, too, are those sturdy,
noisy, independent natives of the County Palatine
of Lancaster. At the date of this notable grant it
brought the town of Liverpool 141. Gs. Bd. a-year,
just sufficient to buy a handsome gilt chain for his
worship the Mayor. It now fetches 70,0001. or
80,0001. a-year, and one year's income is about all
that the Corporation of Liverpool, as spent for the
good of shipping during the last quarter of a cen-
tury. The rest of the million and three quarters
collected in that period has been spent in widening
streets, embellishing public buildings, and building
a magnificent music-hall. The growth of this black
mail from 14/. Os. Bd. to 80,0001. a-year must be
the origin of that hackneyed party phrase, " the
point of the wedge." It is usually applied to the
operations of Reformers, who are supposed to be
adepts at the use of this instrument, but no
achievement of theirs can be compared with this
of the Conservative‘ borough of Liverpool. In
statistical charts 'ea.riations are sometimes repre-
sented by dark ci.irrents, expanding or contractincr
as the case may be ; and on this plan the growth
of this iniquit‘Jus impost would require a pyramid
of which the apex was 141. 6s. Bd., and the base
80,000/., or more than five thousand times as much.
The pyramid of Cheops, standing on its apex, is
the most appropriate image we can think of for
the- legal arid equitable basis of the tax ; and if
Charles 1.. would revisit his ungrateful kingdom
he would be delighted to find twenty millions still
taxed le).;- the divine right of one man.
The meaning of the original grant and its appli-
cation to present times are not very clear. For
example, the grant particularises certain limits
within, -which the dues may be levied, and certain
articles whereon they may be levied. It may
therefore admit of a reasonable doubt, to say the
least, whether the dues may be lawfully levied in
places beyond those limits and on other articles
than those named. It might also be questioned
what amount of dues should be paid on the articles
not mentioned in the grant. But all questions on
these points are overruled by the broad doctrine
laid down by the Corporation, that the grant must
be explained by the " user." As this is a legal
word, or at least not a common one, we may as
well say that it means a man may do any-
thing that he is used to do. The cook justified
the sinning of eels alive on the ground that they
were used to be skinned. The Corporation of
Liverpool has a much better reply—viz., that it is
used to skin eels. The one is the passive form of
the argument, the other is the active, and it is
much the more logical of the two, for the obvious
reason that the cook might be used and the Cor-
poration might be used, but the eels, not being a
corporation, could acquire no prescription, custom,
habit, usance, or endurance ix the matter. We
admit that the analogy does not strictly apply to
the case of the eels skinned by the Corporation of
Liverpool. Society induces a species of unity ;
the submission of many sufferers makes a wroig
seem inevitable ; and at last they may be said to
be used to be skinned. The Corporation of Liver-
pool, however, disdains that defence, and takes the
more manly course of resting the practice on its
being used to skin them. It is said that even a
worn will turn, and eels have risen, or rather
wriggled, into rebellion at last against the cook—
that is, the Liverpool Corporation. Whether they
will succeed in rescuing their skins it is hard to say.
" Use" is decidedly against them just now, for the
use is to let things alone. The people of Manches-
ter themselves still betray the dominion of use.
They are among the " waiters on Providence," or
rather " waiters on Palmerston," whom Mr. Fox
describes. It is too true, as he says, that " the
House of Commons has been waiting for the people
to agitate for reforms, and the people have been
waiting for the House of Commons to originate re-
forms." Have Manchester and its representatives
been as serious on the subject of the Liverpool
town dues as they might have been f We are sorry
to say that there prevails a grave suspicion that
some of these gentlemen would have no objection
to see Palmerston beaten by the Conservatives on
this very question. If he is, the Manchester
people deserve to be skinned for another two hun-
dred years.

THE SILVER QUESTION.

(From the Times City Article.)

The following communication sets forth in a very
plain way some essential conclusions which must be
kept in view in all discussions on the silver question.
There are, however, several indirect circumstances
which must be pointed out in connexion with them,
and which will greatly qualify, even if they do not
entirely counteract, the results the writer antici-
pates. His argument is that, as India and China
'will take nothing but silver in settlement of any
balance of trade that may be in their favour, no
artificial measures, such as a debasement of the
continental coinage; &c., can prevent silver from
finding its way there. Grant, he says, that France
should debase her silver currency in the manner
adopted by the United States three or four
years back, it would certainly relieve her
for the moment, and cause the drain to
be thrown exclusively on those countries
which still retained silver as a legal tender ; but
these countries would soon be driven to a similar
course, and then, when all Europe bad adopted the
same system, the demand would again have to be
supplied by each country in its relative proper-
ti It is admitted that if the debasement
adopted should be 10 or even 20 per cent. the price
of silver must rise to that extent before the new
coinage can be drawn away ; but this advance
would, of course, be witnessed if the supply from
other sources continued inadequate. Thus far the
matter seems indisputable. But the writer omits
to notice-1, that a rise of 10 per cent. in the value
of silver would greatly stimulate the production
from existing mines, while it would also lead to
increased economy in the use of the metal ; 2, that
under this advance in price a given amount would
perform greater functions,—that is to say, 901. in
silver would answer the purposes for which 1001.
had previously been required ; and, 3, that from
the constant operation of these influences there
would be a probability that the Chinese, at all
events, might be led at last to receive a greater pro-
portion of gold. it is also to be recognised that by
a measure which would raise the value of silver 10
per cent. each country would secure the amount
they hold from being drained from them at a less
adequate price. An assertion in the following
letter that this advantage would be neutralised
by a corresponding rise in the goods of the Indian
producer is erroneous. The price of those good 4,
like price of silver, depends upon the supply, and
no enhancement in silver through sudden scarcity
could involve a relative enhancement in the otLer
commodities. If India were to endeavour to raise
her prices she would at once be put out of the mar-
ket by competing countries. Under those circum-
stances it will still be seen that a depreciation of
coinage is the true remedy for the inconvenience
now threatened. If the movement continues at its
present rate the depreciation will undoubtedly have
to be repeated at certain intervals. Although 10 per
cent. might be sufficient new, 20 or 30 per cent.
may be necessary a few years hence. Thus the
time may not be far distant when England will be
compelled to resort to a now silver coinage of less
intrinsic value than at present in circulation. This
was originally issued at a debasement of about 10
per cent., but the difference is now little more than
5 per cent., and a further advance of 3d. or 4d.
per ounce in the value of silver would immediately
lead to its exportation :
" I have read withgreat interest your remarks in your
money articles of the 18th and 19th inst. on the move•
ment of gold and silver, and assent fully to your con-
clusions as to the future, particularly those of the 19th
instant.

" With regard, however, to the drain of silver, and
the suggestion of a depreciated coinage as the remedy, I
would ask—How could the coinage of a debased silver
currency overcome the difficulty ? Silver is now drawn
from the continent to be sent to Asia in liquidation of
the balance of trade in favour of that continent, because
Asia will take nothing else from us for it. Would the
emission of a debased silver currency on the continent
prevent an adverse balance of trade with Asia, or make
her take anything else than silver from us in liquidatio❑
of it ? Remember that Asia receives from the rest of the
wiirld an amount of silver sufficient to liquidate (at the
Asiatic evaluation of the silver, not at its European
valuation) the present balance of trade in her favour.
England, being the agent for the rest of the world to li
quidate the balance, now absorbs all the silver as fast as
it is extracted from the earth (as this is the market where
silver bullion is at the highest price); and, as the amount
at present extracted front the earth is not sufficient to li-
criidate the balance of trade with Asia, England isforced
to procure coined silver from those countries where it
exists a:, currency. If France should debase her silver
currency it would result in a profit to the French Go-
v,rnatent of the difference in the value of the old and
new currency, less the expense of re•coinage (no trifling
affair), and we should then haveadebased silver currency
in the three greatest commercial nations of the
wreild—Great Britain, Franc,, and the United States
—adopted solely with a view to prevent its exportatien.
But, as this debasement of the silver currency would
neither prevent nor liquidate an adverse balance of trade
with Asia, silver would still have to be purchased on the
continent of Europe, where it alone exists to any exteot.
At first, immediately after the debasement of the s leer
currency in France, it would be drawn at gradually in-
creasing rater of premium from Holland, Prussia, and
other States that as yet bad not debased their silver cur-
rency, but the drain on them would soon be so severely.
felt that they would also be forced to debase it by adopt-
ing the same standard as France. When all European
nations shall have gone through this state of transition
will they have gained anything 3 Will it not simply re-
sult iu a legal alteration of the relative value of gold and

silver,—an alteration unnecessary, and no way prevent-
ing or diminishing the shipthent of silver to k.sia.°? The
alteration in the relative value of gold and silver by add-
ing 10 per cent. to the legal value of the latter metal
would increase the cost of all commodities imported from
Asia in exchange for silver 10 per cent., which would,
at the expense of the people, balance the profit made by
the Government on the re-coinage of the silver cur
rency ; but there would then still remain the expense of
re-coinage, which would be a loss without the slightest
compensation.

"All the prevailing errors in regard to gold and silver
arise from confusing the two entirely different uses to
which we apply these metals—viz., coin and articles of
luxury and ornament. Gold and silver when used in the
manufacturing of articles of luxury or ornament are com-
modities, or, in other words, capital ; but when used as
coin they are not commodities, i.e. capital, but the repre-
sentatives of capital or commodities. This you clearly
show in your money article of the 19th inst., and you are
perfectly correct in stating that the increase of the pro.
duction of gold (as far as used as coin) is no increase of
wealth ; it is simply an increa-e of the representative of
wealth ; and this increase of the representative without
a corresponding increase of commodities or wealth itself
only diminishes the exchangeable value of the represen-
tatives, gold and silver.
" The only remedy for the present drain of silver to
Asia would be either to have gold legalised as coin in
Asia ; or, if this be impossible, to allow the siver to go
to Asia to any extent, and replace it when necessary by
coin of similar value composed of gold and some suitable
alloy, so as to have coins of small value with which to
make small purchases, without reducing their size to an
inconvenient point, as would be the case were we to at-
tempt to coin pieces of small value in a metal as valu-
able as gold. Eeither of these remedies can be easily
adopted without the slightest injury to any existing or
future interests.

THE MILITARY MAN, (EUVRE AT
A LBUERA.

We ( Times) published yesterday a letter from
Sir John Scott Lillie upon the subject of Lord
Hardingo's share in the glorious victory of Albuera.
In recapitulating, upon the previous day, the va-
rious services performed by Lord Hardinge in the
course of his military career, we mentioned, upon
the authority of Sir Wm. Napier, " that the for-
tune of the day (at Albuera) was turned by a happy
mancouvro executed by young Hardinge." The
phrase given in inverted commas is our own. Our
readers must judge for themselves how far it is
borne out by the statement of Sir William Napier.
In his History of the Peninsular War, written by
the gallant General, which has now taken its place
among the classical works in the language, we find
that Sir William writes as follows, after ho had
described the terrible straits to which the British
force was driven when the French under Soult had
succeeded in establishing themselves on the hill :

"Destruction stared him (Beresford) in the face ; his
personal resources were exhausted, and the unhappy
thought of a retreat rose in his agitated mind. He had
before brought Hamilton's Portuguese into a situation
to cover a retrograde movement ; he now sent orders to
General Alten to abandon the bridge and village of Al-
buera, and to assemble with the Portuguese Artillery in
such a position to cover a retreat by the Valverde road.
But, while the Commander was thus preparing to resign
the contest, Colonel Hardinge, using his name, ordered
General Cole to advance with the Fourth Division ; and
then riding to the third brigade of the Second Division,
which, under the command of Colonel Abercrombie, had
hitherto been only slightly engaged, directed him also to
push forward into the fight. The die was then cast, and
Beresford acquiesced. Alten received orders to re-take
the village; and the terrible battle was continued."

The passage is to be found in the 3d volume of
Napier's Peninsular War, page 545, edition of
1840. Sir John Lillie's counter-statement is as
follows :

" It was Sir Lowry Cole who took upon himself the
responsibility of executing the movement in question, in
the absence of any orders from Marshal Beresford, who
commanded the aliied forces on that occasion, to whom
Sir Lowry Cole sent an aide-de-camp for permission to
make the movement ; but this aide-de-camp having been
severely wounded, and not having returned, Sir Lowry
took the responsibility of making it upon himself, in the
manner so brilliantly described in your quotation from
Napier's history."
This is the state of the controversy, from which
we now retire, for the question of fact is one which
must be settled between Sir William Napier and
Sir John Lillie. The readers of the Times will,
however, we hope, exonerate us from the imputa-
tion of risking rash, unadvised statements, which
may detract from the fame of the glorious dead.
Sir William Napier is a man of far too chivalrous
and generous a character to publish any statement
which might affect the reputation of a brother
officer which he did not conscientiously believe to
be correct. Sir John Lillie, again, was one of the
most distinguished officers in the Peninsular War
—a man whose name is illustrated by a bead-roll of
the most splendid services. Ho would no more
utter, unadvisedly, any remarks prejudicial to the
memory of Lord Hardinge without overpowering
necessity than Sir William Napier would seek to
detract from the reputation of Sir Lowry Cole.
Wherever the mistake may lie, it is not with us.
We can but tell the tale as we received it from our
forefathers, and certainly the general impression
hitherto has been that the Battle of Albuera was
won by the daring, but unauthorised, manoeuvre of
Colonel Hardinge.

THE MONEY MARKET.

( From the Times City Article.)

The step taken by the Bank of France yesterday
should be regarded with great satisfaction. In the
present state of financial knowledge it has been
painful to contemplate the futile attempts prac-
tised for months past to arrest a condition of affairs
for which nothing but a rise in the rate of discount
could be effectual, and which was becoming more
intractable with every day of delay. Although
the measure, if it has been resorted to, as is most
probably the case, to check the displacement of
silver by gold, must fail in its ostensible object, its
salutary tendency to meet the real evil under which
the country is labouring cannot be questioned. It
is the loss of the silk crop, together with other ac-
cidents, and the consequent adverse balance she is
called to meet in specie, to which her existing posi-
tion is to be attributed ; and the inconvenience
caused by the withrawal of the silver currency,
notwithstanding the degree in which it has aggra-
vated the panic, is an entirely separate matter, for
which a separate remedy will ultimately have to be
provided. By putting a stop to all extension of
the speculative schemes which it was last year
the effort of the Government to encourage, and
by lowering prices and thus stimulating ex-
portations, the action now resolved upon will
operate as a first -impulse towards the recovery
of a sound condition. Whether it will prove
sufficient is a point that must for some little time
remain in suspense. It is to be hoped, how-
ever, if perseverance should be found n ecessary
there will be no further flinching, and that we may
now expect to see an end of ti-ose empirical pro-
ceedings which have so long excited remark, and
which, after throwing everything into confusion,
have resulted, as it was predicted they would, in
creating a state of distrust far greater than could
have been occasioned by any measures of whole-
some rigour at the commencement.
A rumour prevailed yesterday that the French
Government are about to prohibit the exportation
of silver, but few persons were disposed to believe
that the idea of an act which must prove so entirely
abortive can oven have been entertained. It would
at once open up a smuggling trade, organized in a
way to increase the rapidity of the drain.
It is assumed that the rise in the French rate of
discount will certainly be followed next Thursday
by an advance on the part of the Bank of England
from 4& to 5 per cent. at least. As far as the com-
mercial position of the country is concerned no such
movement would be necessary, but if it were not
adopted a large amount of capital would at once be
sent to Paris on loan, and we should thus bo ex-
posed temporarily to a considerable pressure.
The agitation on the Continent and thelrandom
movements in specie and exchange consequent upon
it are such as to preclude for the moment any kind
of calculation. It appears that, although silver has
lately been drained to _Loudon from every part of
the Continent, nearly 100,0001. was purchased to-
day
for transmission to Hamburg, telegraphic in-
telligence having been received from that city that
the rate of discount has advanced t 0,9 per cent.
The sudden alteration in the various money-
markets in Europe will exercisenn adverse influence
on the results of the speculative shipments of silver
to China to be made by the next mail. In the
silk-market to-day it caused a fall of 2s. to 3s. iu
the Bengal and Is. to is. 6d. in the China descrip •
tious.
