Preparations were yesterday morning commenced, at
an early hour, for the launch of her Majesty's 20-gun
screw steam-corvette Scout, constructed in Woolwich
Dockyard. As the tide flowed up the blocks under
the ship's keel were removed one by one, leaving only
two remaining. A slight motion was then observed
when she began to draw. A little girl, about four
years of age, the only child of Commodore and Mrs.
Shepherd, acted as sponsor; she grasped the bottle
of wine in both bands and dashed it against the vessel,
exclaiming " Success to the Scout." Orders were then
given to " out the triggers," and the cords which sus-
pended the weights having been cut, the dog-shores
were knoeked away, and the ship was free. The motion,
though scarcely perceptible, had already begun, and,
gradually augmenting, soon attained a rapid velocity,
which carried her forward into the Thames amid the
cheering of the crowd. She was subsequently brought
round to the mouth of the outer basin, and was finally
warped in, in order to receive her engines and machinery
prior to being docked. The Scout is a sister ship to the
Pearl, and was built on the same slip as the latter vessel.
Sne is built to draw 20 feet of water if heavily laden,
but, under ordinary circumstances, she will draw from
16 to 17 feet. The following are the dimensions of the
vessel :

DELIVERING UP OF THE ARCTIC SHIP
RESOLUTE TO GREAT BRITAIN.

PORTSMOUTH, Dec. 30.—T0-day the final handing
over of the Arctic discovery-ship Resolute to Great
Britain was effected, considerable interest being excited
by the event. The American colours, side by side
with those of this country, hung this morning from
the peak of the stout old ship. At a quarter to one
o'clock Captain Seymour, flag-captain to the Com-
mander-in-Chief, went on board the Resolute to receive
her on the part of the nation. Mr. Penn, the master
of the Victory, Mr. Burdwood, second master of the
Victory, a party of seamen, and a corporal's guard
' from the same ship, also went on board to take charge
of her. Captain Hartstein now order ed his crew to
take up their proper positions—the starboard watch
forward and the port watch aft. Captain Seymour,
after spending a few minutes in the cabin of Captain
Hartstein, returned on deck, and as the dockyard
clock struck one the flag-ship Victory hoiAed the
United States stars and stripes at her main and fired a
salute to that flag of 21 guns. Whilst the salute was
being fired Captain Hartstein ordered the American
colours to be hauled down on board the Resolute, and
the Union Jack then floated alone, whilst at the yes.
se.'s mainmast the pennant of a British naval Officer
was hoisted. The salute being ended, and the changee
of colours effected, the crew of the Resolute manned
the rigging, and gave three hearty cheers as --

persnnally received the gilt on her
visit ta the Resolute at Cowes. The Sprightly,
steamer, Master Commander George Allen, which has
been in
close attendance on the officers and crew of
i the Resolute since her arrival hire, was lying along-
; side with steam up, all the officers' and, seamen's
i baggage being
already on board, and on the formal
i surrender being completed, one of the United States
; officers jocularly said to Mr. Allen, " We have struck
our national flag, and now we are going to board your
' ship," the Sligbtly having been ordered to convey the
officers and c prow to Souchan.ipuon, to take passage there
for New York'
The orew of the Resolute then left her, and went on

board the Sprightly, Captain Hartstein and the other
officers following, after having bid a cordial adieu to
Captain Seymour, the British officers left in charge of
the Resolute, and the few civilians present. Prior to
this, however, a glass of champagne was most enthu-
siastically drunk to the health of Captain Hartstein,
and the other officers and the crew of the Resolute.
Their final abandonment of the vessel seemed to create
some emotion on the part of the officers and men who
had brought her home, all of whom appeared to feel
that they had only performed a work of love and plea-
sure, and which had been most amply requited by the
kindness and hospitality with which they had been
received in England. However great that hospitality
may have been, it is certain that no set of officers and
men could have deserved it, even in a personal point of
view, more than those in question.

By a quarter pact 1 the Sprightly was under weigh,
and the Resolute remained in charge of Mr. Penn, Mr.
Burdwood, and the half dozen British seamen and
corporal's guard of marines, passing between the flacr,ship
Victory and the screw blockship Pembroke, 60, the
crews of these ships manned the rigging, and gave cheer
after cheer to the American officers and men. The latter
returned the compliment in the most hearty manner,
and which was repeated from ship to ship with the
greatest enthusiasm. The general effect was of a very
thrilling and interesting character. Even the dockyard
steam tug Pigmy managed to mount some of her crew
on her spare rigging, and they also gave their quota of
applause to the nation's guests as they passed.
The Sprightly was by this time going out of harbour,
on her way to Southampton to place the American
officers and crew on board the United States mail packet
Washington, which leaves to-morrow for New York.

SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY.—Her Majesty's steam ship
Sprightly, Master Commander Allen, arrived in dock
this afternoon, with Captain Hartstein and the officers
and crew of the Resolute, who will take their departure
in the United States mail steam ship Washington
to-morrow. The Sprightly will remain until the Wash-
ington takes her departure, and accompany her to the
Channel. Captai❑ Hartstein and his officers were
received on the quarterdeck of the Washington by
Commander Cavendy.

THE BANK CHARTER ACT.

(From the Derbyshire Courier.)

A long letter has been addressed to the Times
by "Mercator" (Inn' Overstone it is generally
understood) on the Bank Charter Act of 1844.
There is little in the matter or method of this
communication to entitle it to serious public con-
sideration. It is, indeed, principally a glorification
of the Bill of 1844, and of the assumed cleverness
and sagacity of its authors, and abounds with de-
clamatory dogmatism, unsupported assumptions,
and illogical conclusions. " Mercator " was never
greatly distinguished for force or eloquence of
style. His natural manner is hard, dry, and cold.
In this letter he attempts the metaphorical and
figurative with every indifferent success. Here is
" Mercator's" poetical sketch of the Bank Charter
Act of 1844—" The winds have blown, the waves
have rolled, even the compass has been disturbed,
and has seemed at times to give uncertain indica-
tions, but the vessel has kept her true course, and
she is now about to rsue her further voyage,
sound in all parts, her masts and her rigging un-
disturbed, and her cargo uninjured. Are we then
to cashier the captain, to condemn the ship, to
issue a new code of sailing instructions, drc., die."
Whether the Bill of 1844 be at once the compass,
the vessel, and the captain, or whether the Bill be
the compass, and the country the vessel, and Lord
Overstone the captain, or whether any definite
meaning was attached to the passage by " Mer-
cator" when he indited it, the public will pro-
bably never take the pains to inquire. We must
have more substantial reasons that such vapid
common-places furnish, before we can consent to
the continuance of an act which, with its comple-
ment of 1849, has produced more ruin and misery
in thig country than has been caused by any legis-
lative measure ever enacted by Parliament.
The whole argument of " Mercator's" letter
amounts to this—" Since the passing of the Bill of
1849 the trade and commerce of the country have
prospered ; therefore the Bill of 1849 was a sound
and efficient measure."

Mercator indeed appears to be aware that the
Bank Charter Act has done little to increase our
exports or imports, or to promote the general pros-
perity of the country. " These results," he says,
" cannot be claimed as the direct and necessary
consequences of the monetary legislation of 1844.
They are the glorious fruits of the free trade mea-
sures of that period. " But, he proceeds, verging
again on the poetical, "if the seed was sown and
first germinated in the Foil of free-trade, let us re-
member that our monetary legislation has consti-
tuted the atmosphere in which the plant has grown
to its present strength and maturity." On reading
this we were immediately reminded of honest Mr.
Burchell's exclamation—Fudge ! We have no wish
to mix up the questions of Free Trade and Cur-
rency. But if Mercator be right in claiming the
degree of prosperity which this country has at times
enjoyed since the passing of the Act of 1844 as the
" glorious fruits of the Free Trade measures," to
what cause is the increased and increasing prospe-
rity of countries which still retain their old pro-
tective system to be attributed ?
How is it that France and other continental na-
tions have increased their exports and imports, and
developed their resources, and added to tho "com-
forts and luxuries" of the people ? How is it that
the United States under protection have a surplus
revenue of Four Millions, and are able to pay off
their debt as soon as their creditors will accept
payment ?
,We hold, as we have said, that the imposition of
duties which interfere with the freedom of the ex-
change of commodities between nations is injurious
to all parties. But let it be remembered that this
country prospered during the war with a Protective
system, as other countries are now doing. Had
not Peel's Bill of 1819 been passed, the great con-
troversy between Free Trade and Protection would
not have arisen. It was only when, having Pro-
tection to keep up prices, this country was deluded
into passing a law to enhance the value of money
also, that the different classes of the community
were forced into collision. The Money Laws
caused the dispute about Free Trade and Protec-
tion to swell into importance. Dear bread and
dear money were too much for human endurance.
And at last " Peel," rather than give up his
Money Laws, was driven to consent to the repea
of the Corn Laws, under the expectation that
thereby cheap bread would be provided for the
people.
" Mercator's atmospheric" Bank Charter Act
has ever done. At times it has effected great evil.
has been " a trifle light as air" as to any good it
" Mercator " does not mention the Panic of 1847
when he is referring to " the lessons of former ex-
perience." Yet more mischief was dune to the
country at that time by the direct operation of the
Bill of 1844, than it would do good were it to
exist,

or command, or tie quantity of other
goods which it will exchange for, depends always
upon the fertility or barrenness of the mines which
happen to be known about the time when such ex-
changes are made. The discovery of the abundant
mines of America reduced, in the 16th. century, the
value of gold and silver in Europe to about a third
of what it had been before." The discoveries of
the precious metals at the time referred to by A. lam
Smith not only depreciated their value, but gave
a stimulus to trade and commerce greater than had
ever occurred in the world's history.
The gold discoveries of the present day have
done much good, and they would do much more
were not their beneficial influence checked and im-
peded by the pernicious and unjust restrictions of
the Acts of 1819 and 1844.
Give us, we say to
the Fi ee-trader Lord Overtone, the reality, not
the mockery, of Free Trade. Repeal the narrow
restrictive system of your Rink Charter Act ; and
give us Free Trade in money, as well as in money's
worth.

Delivered from the existing
monetary system the
country would derive the full benefit of the gold
discoveries, and should they cease or fall off to-
morrow, we could w ith representative paper money,
of
make greater advances towards the general pros-
perity of the massesthe people than have yet
been dreamed of iu Lord Overstone's philosophy..

1. According to the positive declaration of the Govern.
ment of Neuchatel the latter is not aware that the King
of Prussia has any private property in the canton of
Neuchatel. %upposing, however, that such were the
case, that property should be respected the same as any
other private property.
As regards the domains, dues, and revenues which the
King possessed in hie quality of sovereign of the coun-
try, they could not collie under the head of private pro-
perty. In case of an 4reement, to prevent all misun-
derstanding, it will be necessary to specify what private
property belonged to the ring.
2. The Government of N'tychafel recognises the reli-
gious and charitable foundations,
particularly those of
Pourtales, Meuron, Pury, and others, established by
private gifts. These establishments
, and others analo-
gous to them, shall be religiously respected. Upon this
point the Government of Neuchatel agrees with the
Federal Council, and both are disposed t, give the King
of Prussia the most satisfactory assurancesabout it. In
order, however, to place the emancipation of Neuchatel
beyond all fort ign influence a guarantee upon this point
must originate exclusively with the Confederation.
It was added, lastly, that in order to prevent any mis.
tate the religious and charitable foundations to be eo,_
prised within this guarantee should be distinctly sped.
fled.

These propositions of mediation, dictated by a eeuti.
reent of friendship towards Switzerland, did not, h. owl
ever, lead to any result ; the English Government itself
having subsequently considered that it would be better
not to open them to the court of Berlin, seeing that re-
fusal to enter into any negotiations—which was to be
expected—could not but be injurious to Switzerland.
In the hope that France and England might he more
easily induced to propound a collective proposition, we
on our side did not think it any longer incumbent upon
us to insist on the communication of the above proposi.
tions to Prussia through the medium of England, and our
opinion was strengthened by the fact that the affair had
entered into a new phase.
Hia Mijesty the Emperor of the French had, under
date of October 24, addressed himself directly to General
Dufour with the friendly intention of calling his atten-
tion to the serious situation in which Switzerland was
placed. The Emperor at the same time invited the
General to assist him in smoothing the difficulties and
removing the dangers with which Switzerland was
.hreatened, adding that the King of Prussia did not
recognise Switzerland's alleged right to change, without
his consent, toe constitution of Neuchatel, and believed
that bis honour was concerned in sustaining those who
had desired to re-establish the old order of things. The
idea of seeing his partians subjected to trial was revolt.
ing to him to such a degree that he was fully resolved
on upholding his right by arms, and on applying to
the Germanic Diet in order to obtain a passage fur
is troops.
The Emperor declared himself disposed to prevent
Prussia from sending troops, and engaged to arrange the
Neuchatel affair in a manlier satisfactory toSwitzer-

You have learned, Mr. President and gentlemen, from
the public papers the reception—so friendly with regard
to Sad zerland its envoy extraerdinary—which has
been elven t. Geeerai Dufour on the part of his M.,jesty
the Euperor of the French. In the private interviews
bet e eee them our delegate succeeded in his efforts to
set aside certain points which had threatened a conider-
able c.neplicatiuu of the difficulties.
In conferences with the 'ministers of France and Eng-
land, it was provisionally understood that France and
England s enid require, witlemit precisely guaranteeing
it, teat the liberation of Neuchatel from every foreign
claim should be considered as the equivalent of an am-
nesty previously granted, and that a renunciation on the
part of Prussia might accordingly be considered as toler-
ably certain.
Nevertheless, the English cabinet, from motives that
will hereafter be explained, did not deem it right to ac-
cede to these collective measures against Switzerland,
and it appeared at the time that the plan discussed at the
Conferences could not be realised, or at least not such
as it had been understood at the beginning by our en.
voy ; but if once the negotiations should have reached
that point, we thought we should be able, without
lowering the dignity of Switzerland, to advance another
step in the path of conciliation. You remember, Mr.
President and gentlemen, that in the instructions pre-
sented to our envoy extraordinary, it was stated, that if
the guarantee required, as mentioned in our communi-
cations to the English and French cabinets, could not
be obtained, assurances and guarantees of corresponding
value would be accepted.
Moved by this consideratior, we authorised our envoy
to enter into negotiations on this third kind of assur-
ances, baying a corresponding value.
On this subject* we shall observe that we were bound
to place a high value on the fact of the two powers
(England and France) acting in concert, and on the fact
that the assurance required would not emanate from one
of those two powers alone. It was not necessary, in our
opinion, that their note itself should require or recom
mend the amnesty, but it should fully acknowledge the
right of a free determination on the part of Switzerland,
by declaring, for insta ce, that if the Confederation
liberated the prisoners, England and France would un-
dertake to use their efforts for obtaining a renunciation
on the part of the King of Prussia.
The mere assurance of good offices given in a vague
manner could not satisfy us. It was necessary- at the
least to express that France and England would engage
to bring about such a transaction as should not impose
on Switzerland conditions incompatible with her honour
and dignity, and that if Prussia did not consent to such
an arrangement, England and France would declare that
they believed themselves to be no longer bound by the
London protocol, and that they were unwilling to per-
mit that Prussia should make an attack against Swit-
zerland upon the ground of her claims on Neuchatel, or
generally to P,rmit that she should take hostile measures
against the Confederation.
We drew up the instructions within these limits, leave
ing, however, to otr envoy the power of choosing or
adopting ether forms. If we communicate to you all
these details, it is especially with the view of proving to
to you that we did not wish to exclude ourselves from
the path of conciliation by over-scrupulcus difficulties,
but that, on the contrary, we were ready to make every
concession consistent with our du ies towards the Swiss
ration and its representatives. We declared solemnly
at that period, that is to say, on the 17th of November,
that we were ready to assist in effecting any arrange-
ment calculated to attain our object—the recognition of
the independence of Neuchatel—tlie instant we could do
so in a form and manner that would compromise in no
respect the dignity and honour of Switzerland.
Our envoy extraordinary united his efforts to those of
our resident minister at Paris for the purpose of obtain-
ing a unity of views on the main question between France
and England. It did not appear probable that this ob-
ject could be attained, since gngiazill disagreed with

THE QUEEN AND SIR R. PEEL.—PeeI requested that
the principal offices in the Royal household might be
placed at his disposal. It was not, as it would appear,
with Sir Robert, but with the Duke of Wellington himself,
that the idea of making this requestitwas first otheriginated Whigs
her, an exorbitant pretension, utterly unauthorised by
precedent. It was added that the great ladies of the
Conservative party had spoken of it as of a triumph over
the Queen, and bad said that when they composed her
Court they would be better able to restrain her within
constitutional limits than the Whigs had been. Im-
pertinence is sometimes a useful weapon, but more
frequently it is a dangerous pleasure. On the day
after Sir Robert had made his demand, he received
from the Queen the following note :—" The Queen
having considered the proposal made to her yes-
terday by Sir Robert Peel to remove the ladies of her
bed-chamber, cannot consent to adopt a course which
she conceives to be contrary to usage, and which is
repugnant to her feelings." Sir Robert replied in a
long and respectful letter, sensible and constitutionally
true, but rather heavy and as devoid of elegance as of
complaisance. He was evidently better suited to a Plr•
liament than to a Court. The negotiation was broken
off, and furnished a subject of debate in both houses.
The Conservatives, Wellington and Peel, maintained
their ground ; the Whigs vindicated the Queen'srefusal,
and declared themselves ready to accept the responsibi-
, lity of it. They at once returned to office, and Sir R.
Peel, on his side, resumed, for two yea

tion as the ruling spirit of the Op • • years more, his position.—Ortizot's Me-

RELIGION IN SIAM.—The Moniteur de la Flotte gives
the following account of the religious practices of the
Siamese —"The dominant religion of the inhabitants is
Bhudhism, accompanied with curious practices. They
worship white elephants, which are found in large num-
bers in the forests of the south. One of these animals,
which Is considered the representative of Bhndha on
earth, posseses a very handsome temple and palace at
Bangkok. The. French sailors in the vessels which ac-
companied M. de Montigny have been admitted, as a
special favour, to visit this mysterious dwelling, and were
accompanied by the chief of the priests. The animal almost
appears to understand the sacred character which has been
conferred on him by the ignorance of the population, and
he is of extraordinary gravity and dignity. Above his
knees are large golden rings encrusted with precious
stones, and his head is ornamented with a magnificent dia-
detn of pearls and diamonds of price. Every morning at
daybreak he appears on the threshold of his temple, and
gives the sign of prayer by raising to the sky his trunk,
which is covered with gilding. So true is his instinct that
he never misses this ceremony. Although the Siamese
people are of a gentle character, they at times carry
their fanaticism to cruelty. In the summer of 1853
the sacred elephant died, and this event being attributed
by popular rumour to want of attention 011 the pert
of the high priest, the life of the latter was demanded
by the enr.sged populace, and with great difficulty .pre-
served."
