to a panic,
ar :eventually to another
t

crisis. Subsequent even ts have proved the wisdom
of the course so stcv 'y pursued, notwithstanding
the thunders of the oral •Ic of Printing House-square.

Had they adopted the s deice, or rather the impe •
rious orders, thus fort ;ed upon them, they would
have been oblivious o E the duties which are still

Lmposed on them, n( ,twithstanding the existence of

the quasi self-acting regulator of the currency—the

enactment that ren ,ders notes scarce when there is

a dearth of gold, 3nd deprives the nation of a
circulating mediun s adequate to its wants and exi-
gencies, thus pr °Zincing wide-spread ruin and
di-may when th'ere is not the slightest possible

necessity for such. -a result.
The avowed object of the Act of 1844 was to
make Money dear and scarce. It is true that it
was partially ecacealed under the flimsy veil of
making cheap t he necessaries and comforts of life.
Our esteemed fellow-labourer, the Derbyahire
Courier, has so clearly and distinctly pointed out
the fallacy of tl tat notion in the admirable article
which we extra, Aed into our impression of Monday,
that it is almost a work of supererogation to add a
single word to, its powerful arguments. Dear
money must nixessarily make goods cheap, but the
principle may be carried too far. It may be made
altogether to fall upon the producer. He is subject
to certain fixed. charges—must pay the same rent,
the same taxes, the same price for the raw mate-
rials. He can only economise in the wages of his
workmen If they do not consent to the reduction
the mill must be closed, or put on half time. The
sovereign may go twice as far as formerly, but the
working man does not earn half so much, and the
weight of taxation and of every fixed payment is
also practically increased in a similar ratio.
It is surely far better for the man who earns his
daily bread by his labour to be assured of constant
employment, at fair remunerative prices ; although
he should be compelled to pay something more for rent,
food, and clothing, he obtains more for his labour,
and is required to bestow less labour in liquidating
the public and. other fixed charges, that must, under
any circumstances, be provided for. If, then, we
look to the greatest good for the greatest number,
dear money is the greatest evil that can possibly
occur—the effect being practically to double the
weight of our public burdens, to make the
£65,000,000 actually levied equivalent to
£130,000,000, and, at the same time, to increase
even the nominal amount of the poor rates, by
compelling many families to seek parochial relief,
and resort to the tender mercies of the union work-
houses.

" Cheapness of money," this great, this acknow-
ledged blessing, is, however, denied to the people at
the most critical period, on account of " the pedan-
tries of certain solemn gentlemen" who claim, if
they do not always " get great repute for discre-
tion." They strive to enforce the most vexatious
restrictions—restrictions which have been proved
to be deeply injurious to the nation whenever there
should be any emergency. They will not allow
banks to regulate their own issues, which need not
be accepted by any person save with his own free
will and consent. The supporters of the Act arc
really like those who " would deny us light and
warmth because there are incautious persons who will
occasionally burn down their houses." Was not
the Act avowedly framed " to protect the simple-
tons who periodically suffer themselves to be
betrayed into inflation, and to keep them from
learning wisdom by experience ?" And. has not
its effect been, when trade is prostrate on account
of low prices, to compel our producers and importers
to pay an artificial price for the chief element on
which their power of working at a profit, and
meeting the competition of foreign rivals, depends,
and to prevent them from having the means by
which they could profitably meet those low prices
and give employment to all who depend on them ?

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.)

The ceremony of further proroguing the Impe-
rial Parliament took place this afternoon with the
accustomed formalities -which are imposed by strict
constitutional rule, but without any of the interest
with which that event is ordinarily associated in
the public mind at the close of a lengthened and
laborious session. The House of Lords had been
perfectly prepared for the occasion.
The Lord Chancellor and the other Royal Com-
missioners entered the house in their robes as peers,
preceded by the Usher of the Black Rod, with his
imposing mace, and took their accustomed seats
immediately in front of the Throne, which was
railed round.

All the usual preliminaries -having boen gen*

through,
The LORD CHANCELLOR commanded Mr. Pultnan,
the Usher of the Black Rod, to proceed to the Lower
House in order to summon her Majesty's faithful
Commons to the bar of their lordships' house, in
order that they might hear her Majesty's commis-
sion for the prorogation read.
Mr. P ULMAN proceeded with the usual formality,
and with the accustomed regular and dignified
step, to the door of the House of Commons, at the
door of which, according to the usages of that
body, he was compelled to knock before he could
obtain admission. With as much ceremony as
though the house were full, he summoned the
members (none being present) to the House of
Peers. On his return to the House of Lords, he
informed the Lord Chancellor and the Royal Com-
missioners that he had obeyed their orders, and that
her Majesty's faithful Commons were at that time
at the bar of their lordships' house, the said " faith-
ful
Commons" being represented by Sir Denis Le
Marchant, Bart., the chief clerk, Mr. Ley, and
another official.

Sir J. G. SHAW LEFEVRE, K.C.8., Clerk of the
Parliaments, then advanced to the table and read
the Royal Commission, commanding the Commis-
sioners present, in the name of her Majesty, to
further prorogue Parliament until Tuesday, Jan.
12th. As the words " for the despatch of divers
urgent and important affairs" were not added; the
meeting of Parliament on that day will again be
of a purely formal character.
The Royal Commissioners rose from their seats,
and

The LORD CHANCELLOR said—By virtue of the
Commission which has just been read, I declare, in
the name of her Majesty the Queen, that this Par-
liament is prorogued until Tuesday, the 12th day
of January next. This house is now adjourned.
This terminated the ceremony.

UNIVERSITY OF LONDOX-MEETING
OF MEDICAL GRA.DUA7'ES.

Yesterday a very large meeting of the medical
graduates of the University of London took place
at the rooms of the College of Dentists of England,
5, Cavendish-square, for the purpose of taking into
consideration the subject of the senate having,
without the consent of convocation, elected Dr.
Storrar as a member of the council. Dr. Garrard
presided.
Dr. BRINTON, in a long address, moved—" That
the meeting hear with surprise and regret of the
appointment of Dr. John Storrar as a member of
the medical council by the Senate of the University
of London, and it considers that this appointment
is calculated in every way to alienate from the
university the respect both of its graduates in medi-
cine, and the medical profession at large."
Dr. G. HEwITT seconded the resolution.
Dr. MAUDSLEY moved, as an amennment.---"That
inasmuch as the graduates in convocation assem-
bled, have already expressed their regret :that the
senate should have made the appointment of Dr.
Storrar without having consulted convocation, this
meeting considers it inexpedient to express any
further opinion on the subject."
Dr. ROUTH seconded the amendment, upon the
ground that he did not think that the senate of the
university deserved all the obloquy which had been
passed upon them, having acted in accordance with
a legal opinion they had taken.
Dr. Quain and Dr. E. Smith supported the ori-
ginal motion, as did Dr. Baines, Dr. Powell, Dr.
Odling, Dr. Sibson, and others.
Dr, Conway Evans
.moved, and Dr. Woodford
seconded an amendment for memorialising the
senate.

Dr. Buchanan and Dr. Sankey supported the
amendment.

Eventually both amendments were lost, and the
original resolution was carried with only four dis-
sentients.

_
Other resolutions were then carried,'"embracing a
deputation to wait upon the Home Secretary, and
for an application to the Court of Queen's Bench,
thanks to the council of the College of Dentists for
the use of the room, and to the chairman of the
day, which closed the proceedings.

The Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian, Governor-
General of the Lombardo-Venetian Kingdom, has, says a
letter from Milan, given permission to five political refugees
—Rizzoni, F. Gontalonieri, P. Bacchetta, D. Thiolier, and
L. Viola—to return into Lombardy, and to resume the ex-
ercise of their civil rights.
News of Lord Stratford de Redcliffe has reached
us from Athens up to Nov. 4. He had arrived two days
previously, and taken up his quarters at the British Em-
bassy. Mr. Thos. Wyse had presented him, and he had
dined with King Otho. Most of the European diplomatic
people kept aloof from the evening assembly in his honour
•on the 4th. He announced his intention to embark at the
Pira3us on the 6th, en route for Rome, where it had been
long understood that he would winter.
' LORD STANLEY or ALDERLEY AND MR. E. C.
EGERTON, M.P.—At the annual meeting of the Maccles-
field Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, Lord
Stanley of Alderley, and Mr. E. C. Egerton attended.
Lord Stanley approved of amusement as well as of instruc-
tion being provided in such institutions ; both novels and
newspapers were, he thought, useful. Mr. E. C. Egerton,
M.P., in moving a formal resolution, touched upon several
political questions, declaring that the topic of education had
been worn so threadbare that it was impossible to say any-
thing more about it. Ho sincerely hoped that in the pro-
mised Reform Bill the framers of the measure would not
forget an educational franchise. The working classes had
shown by their extreme forbearance in all times of diffi-
culty that they were intelligent and worthy of the privi-
leges conferred upon them. He, therefore, hoped that
those who should have the redistribution of the franchise
would not overlook any further claims which the working
'elf eus were entitled to tar,— -' •

DEPARTURE OF THE PRINCE OF
WALES FOR BERLIN.

DOVER, WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales arrived
at Dover this evening by the ordinary express
train of the South-eastern Railway, which reached
here at 7.15, on his way to Berlin, to pay a visit,
as it is stated, to his august sister, her Royal High-
ness the Princess Frederick William of Prussia, at
the Court of Berlin.

The Prince travelled in ene of the State carriages
of the Railway Company, and was accompanied by
Colonel Robert Bruce and Major Teesdale, and a
numerous suite.

On alighting, his Royal Highness was received by
Major-General Craufurd, the Commandant of the
Garrison ; Captain M'lllwaine, R.N., the Naval
Superintendent of the port ; Major-General Ward,

E. ; Col. Brown, R.A. ; Lord Claud. Hamilton,
M.P., Colonel of the Donegal Militia (the Prince of
Wales's Own), Colonel Gilpin, M.P., Colonel of the
Bedford Militia; Major Barnard, Grenadier Guards;
and Captain Malet, Aide-de-Camp to Major-Gene-
ral Craufurd. Guards of honour, consisting of the
Bedford Militia, with band and 'colours, and a de-
tachment of the 4th battalion 60th Rifles, were
drawn up within the station, and saluted upon the
train being brought to a standstill, the bands of
both regiments playing the National Anthem. The
Prince and his attendnnts immediately proceeded
to Birmingham's Royal and Imperial Lord Warden
Hotel, amid the loud and enthusiastic cheers of a

large number of spectators who had succeeded in
gaining admission to the station, gracefully ac-
knowledging as he went the manifestations
of loyalty. A +still larger crowd had assembled
on the outside of _the station, between the
Custom-house and the Lord Warden Hotel,
where they patiently mintained their position,
notwithstanding a biting north-easterly wind
which swept through this opening off the water,
with fearful severity, until his Royal Highness
made his appearance,when they re-echoed the cheers,
which had greeted him in the station. The Donegal
militia were posted at ' this spot, and presented
arms as the Prince passed from the Custom-house
to the hotel, the band, as usual, playing the National
Anthem.

It was a matter of doubt previous to the arrival
of the Prince, whether his Royal Highness would
stay the night at Dover and depart for Ostend to-
morrow morning, or proceed to-night, after dining
at the Lord Warden. The high wind prevailing
rendered this still more uncertain. The Prince,
however, decided to proceed at once, and after a
stay of some two hours at the Lord Warden, there-
fore embarked on board the Admiralty yacht Black
Eagle, Commander Petley, which left the harbour
plunging into a foaming sea, and defying the stiff
north-easter which blew in her teeth, on her way
to Os tend.
In the absence of Mr. Way, the Superintendent
of the Railway, the arrangements for the recep-
tion of his Royal Highness devolved on Mr. John-
son, the Deputy-Superintendent, who discharged
his duty most efficiently.
A large crowd of persons assembled to witness
the embarkation of the Prince at 9 o'clock, and
cheered lustily as tke Black Eagle quitted the har-
bour.

THE TERCENTENARY O.Fi QUEEN
ELIZABETH.

Yesterday being the 300th anniversary of the
accession to the throne of Queen Elizabeth, the
event was commemorated generally throughout the
metropolis, in many places of worship sermons on
the' occasion being delivered. At Westminster
Abbey there was a performance of full choral ser-
vice, including the Litany, which was chanted by
the Rev. C. M. Arnold, minor canon, from Tanis,
Mr. Thurle presiding at the organ. The Rev. Dr.
Trench, Dean of Westminster, delivered a most
appropriate discourse from the 33d chapter of
Isaiah, sth and 6th verses, in the course of which
he paid a tribute to the memory of her whom he
was commemorating, adding, that whatever her
private foibles might, have been, she never allowed
them to interfere with her royal duties in the ad-
Vancement of education. At Christ Church, New-
gate-street, the Lord Mayor, the principal members
of the Court of Aldermen, the sheriffs, and other
civic functionaries, were present in state. The
whole of the scholars, with their master and the
court of governors, were also present. The sermon
on the occasion was preached by the Rev. Dr.
MfNeile, who chose for his text Psalm xliv. 1. He

commenced. by observing that the commemoration
of that day was not one of victories by flood or field,
not of conquests or annexations, commercial enter-
prise, manufacturing prosperity or scientific disco-
very, but of the day of the adoption of primitive
Christianity, rescued and purified from mediceval
corruptions. He proceeded to trace the history
of Christianity in this country previous to th- Re-
formation, referring to the efforts of Elizabeth to
shake off the Papal yoke, and then drew a vivid
sketch of the blessings attending upon her exertions
in the cause ofprotestantism, taking occasion to refer
to the attempt now being made to introduce auricu-
lar confession into the church, which attempt he
called on them most earnehtly to strangle in its
birth. In conclusion he called on them to hold fast
the great benefits bestowed on them by the event
which. the day commemmorated. At the Scotch
Church, Crown-court, Covent-garden, the Rev. Dr.
Cumming delivered a most effective discourse on the
Reformation and its results, contending that from
the year 1558 down to the present hour, with the
exception of a few incidental eclipses, the course of
this country had been one of advance in greatness,
goodness, and power.

TIIE DUKE OF LEEDS' YACHT AT SILLOTII.—GO
Wednesday last the Deerhound, a handsome screw steam
yacht, belonging to the Duke of Leeds, arrived at Silloth
and moored at the jetty end.
.She brought the domestic
servants, baggivse, dos &c., of his Grace from the Highlands.
They proceededesby rail to Carlisle, and thence to the Duke's
seat in Yorkshire. The yacht remained in the bay all night,
and in the morning, after coming alongside the jetty and tak-
ing some fuel on board, steamed quickly down the bay on her
way to Menai Straits. She is a beautiful craft, only a few
months old ; the cabins are eleganote4 fitted up in maple and
mahogany. The machinery cons of two' high pressure
engines which work at a high sp . The funnel is tele-
scopic, and moves in a kind of socket in order that the top
can be pointed so that the smoke will not soil the sails ; her
propeller is also made to unship, so that she can be turned
into a sailing yacht on very short notice. All the iron work
on deck is galvanised, as are also her anchors and cables.
•Altogether she is a most complete and elegait craft,
