THE RETURN OF HER MAJIBSTY.

EDINBURGH, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
The Queen left Balmoral this morning at 8 o'clock
for Edinburgh, posting by Ballater and Aboyne to
Banchory. Her Majesty was received here by Mr.
Tatrick Davidson, vice-chairman of the Deeside
Railway, Mr. White, and Mr. Ferguson, at 12.10.
The train reached Ferry-hill, Aberdeen, at 12,30,
where her Majesty was received by Sir Thomas
Blakey, Provost of Aberdeen, and Mr. Thompson,
Major Cristie, Mr. Birnie, and Mr. Reith, of the
r'Scottish North-Eastern Railway direction.
The train arrived at Stonehaven at 1.10, where
her Majesty had luncheon, and left at 1.30. The,
'station was elegantly decorated. The train arrived
tat Forfar at 2.53, where Lord Panmure took leave
.of her Majesty.
Perth was reached at 3.30, where the Earl of
Mansfield and Lord Strathallan, with the Provost
and magistrates and a large company, were preoent.
Col. Johnstone, Mr. Bruce, of Kennett, and Pio-
-vost Sawyers, of the Scottish Central Direction, ant
Mr. Peter Blackburn, M.P., and Mr. Jamieson, of
the Edinburgh and Glasgow and Scottish Central
Railways, accompanied the train to Edinburgh,
arriving at Stirling at 5.2 under a Royal salute
from the Castle guns. Here, as at all the other
stations, there were military guards of honour.
The Royal train arrived in Edinburgh at 6.15,
having kept time to a minute, under the able
management of Mr. Seymour Clarke. The weather
was stormy in the morning, but got fair towards
afternoon ; the distance posted was 38 miles, and
by rail 1881 miles.
At St. Margaret's station her Majesty was re-
ceived by Viscount Melville and officer's staff, Mr.
Sheriff Gordon, and several directors of the North
British Railway. The Royal party drove in car-
riages through the park to Holyrood, where the
Lord Provost and other gentlemen were in waiting.
The carriages were closed, but, notwithstanding
the darkness, there was a considerable assemblage
in the nark. The way was lined by the sth Dra-
goon Guards, the 34th Regiment, and two compa-
nies of Royal Artillery. The Marquis of Dalhousie,
by special invitation, waited on her Majesty in
Holyrood, and had half-an-hour's audience. The
dinner party was limited to the Royal suite.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
THURSDAY MORNING.

The Queen left Edinburgh this morning at a
quarter to 8 o'clock, arriving at Dunbar at 8.25,
and Berwick 9.15. The Royal party crossed the
Tweed in the enjoyment of fair weather. All well.

NATIONAL NOTES v. BANK NOTES.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN.

Stn,—As you continue to point out the right way of
curing our monetary crises, and of preventing their
recurrence by substituting Government or National
Notes for Bank of England Notes, I take the liberty to
trouble you once more with a few lines.
Government having to issue all the coins, copper,
silver, and gold, ought certainly likewise to issue the
paper money required by the nation, and this, the most
profitable one, should not be left to a company which,
however judiciously managed, must be constantly
watched and restricted by laws, which, in case of an
emergency, prove useless after all. To have a constant
sufficiency of circulating medium it ought to be issued
principally by Government, and the following plan can
meet with no objections. By advancing the national
notes, which are, of course, a legal tinder, at the rate
of 50 or 60 per cent, upon Consols, and charging an in-
terest_ of 2 to 3 per cent, on such advances, Government
would, without the least risk, at once create a sufficiency
of circulating medium, make the money market easy,
reduce the discount to the vicinity of their charge, and
avoid the recurrence of this unfortunate scarcity for
future times. They could in this way never issue in
excess, for as discount would by an overabundance be
forced below the interest charged, Consols would then
be fetched back, and the amount of notes afloat re.
duced. A safe basis is of the utmost necessity, how-
ever. As the case stands now the Bank of England.
beholden to give gold for every note, may in epee of
very great pressure be obliged again to break its charter,
as in '47, or in case of a run even be forced to stop cash
payments. On the other hand, let anybody pretend to
ray that for the said national notes the basis be not
sufficient, when resting on a debt that ie identified with
the nation, and when the wealth of the nation forms its
guarantee. When adopted, the price of Console must
rise, and the large interest gained will enable Ministers
considerably to reduce the taxes, besides the prosperity
sure t follow. Objections fall all to the gr )und. If
gold and silver leave the country as they often do, it will,
under such circumstances, no longer be an evil. Better
to trade anal to buy food with the metals than have
them looked up in the Bank, vaults, &e. They will be
sure to come back to pay for manufactures, iron, coal,
&c. Britain does, by their exportation, not lose her
capital. Other objections are still weaker, if that the
Bank of England would be deprived of its monopoly.
She might continue to issue notes, and would not be so
much a loser, as, perhaps, expected, for Government
notes must then be considered a subititute for her pre-
sent reserve of bullion, permitting her to increase her
active circulation. Serie bank-stock holders might not
fancy the ides, but do they wi-,h to enjoy a monopoly,
to the detriment of the whole community
There is no country that could take up such a plan
with equal advantage as England, for no other has al-
ways shown equal good faith to its creditors, and at the
same time possesses so much power. The latter would
thereby be increased, and the country earn the reward
for its honesty. French national note=, however mighty
that empire, would hardly meet with equal favour, nor

Spanish, nor American. Russia was enabiol to wage
the last expensive war by her Government notes, and is
a poor country carepar?d with England. Shall Eng
lishmen be outdone by Russians'? Rather appeal to
the patriotism of your capitalists and Mercators, who
so clearly see where their interests are lying, and they
will then dovelope a plan, now crudely sketched by, Sir,
your humble eervant,
ADOLPHUS NOBILING.

THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK.-ALLEGED
FRAUDS OF Ti7E LATE MANAGER.

_+

It is reported as extremely probable that the offieial
manager under the Winding-up Acts will require the
early attendance of Mr. Cameron, the late manager of
the British Bank, in order to explain some mysterious
entries in the books, which have been disc)vered in the
course of the investigations. In one instance a person
appears as a debtor to the bank, to the extent of 7001.—
advances under a cash credit account. On being called
upon by the official manager for payment of the debt,
this person immediately denied that he had ever drawn
a farthing of the above sum, and produced evidence to
show that the cash credit had been obtained by Mr.
Cameron, in his name, for his (Mr. Cameron's) own pur-
poses, but with his—the alleged debtor's—consent.
It appears that while Mr. Cameron, from time to time,
drew the various sums amounting to 7001., he, instead
of placing them to the credit of the dummy customer,
placed them to his dedit—thos making the latter appear
as a debtor for the amount, and suppressing all evidence
of his own operations on the account. It is thoueht
that the two persons who became security for Mr.
Cameron's dupe in this else, may be able to pay up a
considerable amount, if not the whole of the debtor
balance. As it is feared• that other accounts may be in
the same position, a most searching investigation of the
books is being made.

Mr. Cameron is at present understood to be sojourn-
ing for the benefit of his health &La fashionable watering-
place in Germany. We have not heard by what pro-
cess it is proposed to procure his attendance in London,
hat it is alleged that under the arrangements made
he may be forthcoming without much delay.—Morning
Advertiser.
