HAMBURG.

HAMBURG, Dec. 28.—The tide in the monetary
affairs of this city has now decidedly turned. There
is no longer any talk of scarcity, and those who
kept their money so carefully when it would have
commanded ten per cent. interest at least, are
now anxious to find employment for it at four.
Instead of the Senate and Burgesses borrowing
from Austria, and pledging the credit of the
State and the property of the citizens as security,
the local bankers have become lenders to other
communities, and already a loan of 2,500,000
marks banco is announced as having been granted
by the Norddeutsche Bank here to the Bank of
Rostock, for which the revenue of the Mechlen-
burg domains is assigned in security ; and another
loan for a sum of 1,500,000 of marks banco to
the city of Lubeck, which they had not succeeded
in obtaining from Berlin, has just been con-
cluded with a house in this city, so that nearly
one-half of the Austrian loan has been already ap-
propriated to the aid of others. It will, therefore,
be unnecessary to speak any more of the " crisis "
here, which must be considered as having entirely
passed away, although it may yet be some time be-
fore trade has recovered its usual tone. Confidence
is by no means yet restored, and transactions in
all kinds of merchandise are still on a very limited
scale, which may perhaps in some degree account
for the extraordinary abundance of money, as com-
paratively little appears to be required for the
general purposes of commerce.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Having seen in the leading article of your
very respectable paper of the 23d instant, remarks
regarding the Joint-stock Banks, and the cry raised
against them by the " Hard;Calculatora," and also
warning the folks on this side the Tweed, to be
ready to support the system of their long esta-
blished institutions :

I hope the Scotch will not only show their usual
caution, and think twice before running down their
banking system because of the mismanagment of
one, but that they will support that system (mainly
introduced by the Great Wizard of tl e North) to
which this country owes so much of its prosperity.
The country has not suffered enough yet to make
it alive to the real cause of the disasters of 1847
and 1857, but will be alive to the real evil when too
late ; when another yet more terrible disaster than
those of 1847 and 1857 comes (for come it must
sooner or later, if the Bank Charter Act of 1844 is
not repealed) which will shake the country to its
very foundations, and do us more harm than a war
with combined Europe. Then the cry will be
raised that ought to be raised this hour ! Agitate I
Agitate ! Agitate ! Repeal the Bank Charter Act
of 1844, the stronghold of the monied aristocracy,
and the oppressor of every other class of the com-
munity.

THE 3IABQUASAS ISLANDS.

A letter in the Moniteur de la Flotte from Taio-
Hae, one of the Marquesas Islands, says :--
"The Pers6verante frigate, bearing the flag of Rear-
Admiral Lugeol, arrived in this port on the 16th of
August. The admiral found the French post well pro-
visioned, and living on the most friendly terms with the
different tribes of the island, with the exception of that
called the Taipi-Vahi. That turbulent tribe had been
the terror of all the others, from its ferocity and obsti-
nate adherence to the old customs of human sacrifices
and cannibalism. Lieutenant Rosenzweig, of the French
navy, who commands the schooner Kamehanieha, sta-
tioned at this port, had, at great personal danger, seve-
ral times gone to she tribe, accompanied by an inter-
preter, to endeavour to persuade them to give over these
propensities. Re received from them evasive promises,
but their insincerity was soon apparent, for soon after,
only a short time before the arrival of the frigate, some
armed men of the tribe entered on the territory of the
French mission, and having seized two young girls,
killed them with the design of offering them as a sacrifice
to the manes of their late chief. Two officers of the
Perseverante were sent off by the admiral to require the
guilty parties to be given up, and to signify to the chiefs
and the grand priest that they must cease their human
sacrifices, and come on board the frigate to give an
assurance that they would do so. This mission being
unsuccessful, the admiral assembled the chiefs of the
other tribes, who unanimously agreed, if supported by
the French forces, to march against the cannibals. That
course was deoided on, and an expedition was organised,
of which the admiral took the command in person. The
French force, consisting of seamen from the frigate, and
accompanied by the warriors of the united tribes, pro-
ceeded through the forest to the territory of the Taipi-
Vahi, who fled in all directions, attempting uo resist-
ance, until they reached their last village, where they
maae a slight but ineffectual stand. All the villages of
the tribe were burnt. On the following day, just as the
admiral was about to return, a party of the hostile tribe
came without being seen to within gunshct of the place
"where the admiral and his officers were collected, and
fired several shots, but, fortunately, without effect.
They were immediately pursued and put to flight, and
the expedition then returned to the port. It is hoped
that the lesson which they have received will induce
this tribe to alter their conduct for the future."

The dividend, at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, for
tke half year ending the 31st inst., on the capital stock
of the Commormal Bank of Canada, will be paid by the
London Joint• Stock Bank

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 30, 1857.

The Council General of the Bank of France
have reduced their rate of discount to 5 per cent.
Although for a short time the charge for pecu-
niary accommodation in Paris was 8,9, or 10 per
oent. according to the period for which the ad-
vance was made, it was reduced at the first symp-
toms of a mitigation of the panic. It was but
6 per cent. during the week preceding Christmag,
while " the Old Lady" was coolly pocketing 10
per cent, on unexceptionable security ; and now
there has been another movement in the same
direction, and the comparatively moderate rate
of 5 per cent. only will be demanded !
"They manage these things better in France."
The Government of that country does not
encourage usurers at the expense of the industrial
community. Its languishing trade and commerce
will thus be resuscitated, while our own is depressed.
We are virtually sacrificing the national " thews
and sinews" at the shrine of Mammon ! But for
the refusal of Sir G. C. LEWIS to sanction the
clause proposed by Mr. MALINS, authorising the
directors to reduce the rate of discount without
the act being terminated thereby, a speedier re
auction would have taken place, and we should
not have been so long encumbered with 10 per
cent., or row charged 8.
It is notorious, as we stated yesterday, that
gold is rapidly flowing into our ports, and accu-
mulating in the vaults of Threadneedle-street.
There might, therefore, be an immediate diminu-
tion to 5 per cent, the price charged in Paris.
13 at this would 'not suit the views of the " hard

TS whose interests and wishes are
the Celbinet of St. James's. That they may
enhance, t,m •
elt exorbitant profits, mills are to re-
main 'closed, tx.

are to be deprives

have become almost uemualieB,

revenue is to be injured, as _
We shall discover by
the returns made on the Ist of A,,,,;1
next--a very

will be the, results of the monetary code, of 1819
and 1844, which that pre-eminent financier 0)
Sir G. C. LEWIS, has determined, if
__ possible, t.
retain without change or modification, unless it,
be in the way of additional restrictions, creating
further elements of disturbance to those already
in existence I

It is by no means improbable, under the cir-
suinstattoes, that ere many months have elapsed,
we shall have an abundant supply of gold, and
With it a corresponding increase in paper money,

ELECTIONBERINCI.

In anticipation of the probable vacancy in the
representation of the borough of Ennis, created by
the elevation of the Attorney-General to the judi-

already named as candidates for the coveted seat.
The aspirants include Captain Stockpoole, Mr.
Hughes, Q. C., Mr. John Bell, Sir Thomas Reding-
ton, and Mr. M'Donough, Q.C. The latter is a
Peolite, but would ,be a supporter of the Palmer-
ston Government. All the others are Liberals.

ral times gone to the tribe, accompanied by an inter-
preter, to endeavour to persuade them to give over these
propensities. lie received from them evasive promises,
but their insincerity was soon apparent, for soon after,
only a short time before the arrival of the frigate, some
armed men of the tribe entered on the territory of the
French mission, and having seized two young girls,
killed them with the design of offering them as a sacrifice
to the manes of their late chief. Two officers of the
Perseveranto were sent off by the admiral to require the
guilty parties to be given up, and to signify to the chiefs
and the grand priest that they must cease their human
sacrifices, and come on board the frigate to give an
assurance that they would do so. This mission being
unsuccessful, the admiral assembled the chiefs of the
other tribes, who unanimously agreed, if supported by
the French forces, to march against the cannibals. That
course was decided on, and an expedition was organised,
of which the admiral took the command in person. The
French force, consisting of seamen from the frigate, and
accompanied by the warriors of the united tribes, pro-
ceeded through the forest to the territory of the Taipi-
Vahi, who fled in all directions, attempting no resist-
ance, until they reached their last village, where they
mace a slight but ineffectual stand. All the villages of
the tribe were burnt. On the following day, just as the
admiral was about to return, a party of the hostile tribe
came without being seen to within gunshot of the place
where the admiral and his officers were collected, and
fired several shots, but, fortunately, without effect.
They were immediately pursued and put to flight, and
the expedition then returned to the port. It is hoped
that the lessen which they have received will induce
this tribe to alter their conduct for the future."

The dividend, at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, for
the half year ending the 31st inst., on the capital otook
of the Commercial Bank of Canada, will be paid by the

PRUSSIA.

A. rlin letter, iu the Constitutionnel, says :
---‘ isti3e
now decided that the session of the
Cha b,rs will not be opened by the Prince
of Prussia, but by the President of the Coun-
cil. This plan has been followed under other
circumstances, and it is the more reasonable
that it should be adopted on this occasion that
the Prince, in consequence of his position as dele-
gate of the King, wishes to avoid appearing in
public ceremonies. As is generally the case before
the opening of the session, rumours are in circula-
tion of changes in the Ministry. The same Ministers
are talked of as being about to retire as wore men-
tioned at the commencement of the delegation of
powers to the Prince of Prussia, but these reports
appear to be as ill-founded now as then."—The
same letter adds :—" The American crisis has
caused such a serious effect on the commerce of
Thuringen that the Government of Weimar has
thought it necessary to convoke an extraordinary
session of the Diet to regulate commercial affalis.
Apolda, which is the principal unanufActuricg town
of the Grand Dochy, contains a great number of
stocking wearing establishments, the productions
of which ate exported to the United States via
Hamburg."

TN& ATTEMPTED MURDER IN WEETMINETER.—John
Butler, a labourer, was this morning placed at the bar,
charged with being concerned with his father (now in
the House of Detention), in an attempt to murder or
otherwise inflict grievous bodily harm upon Cornelius
Shane.

Evidence was given to the fallowing effect :—The
prisoner and his father, labourers at the Chartered Gas
Works, lives at No. 9, St. Anne's-lane, Great Peter-
street, where the injured man also occupies a room. On
Monday night, there having been some previous alter-
cation between the parties, when prosecutor returned
home, Butler the elder, accompanied by the prisoner,
followed him up stairs into his room, when having locked
the door they declared they had got him now, and the
elder Butler proceeded to inflict the most atrocious
assault upon him. How many wounds were given there
was no evidence to show, save that his nose had been
entirely slit up with a knife, and that adhesive plaster
covered other portions of his countenance, which was
wofully disfigured. The evidence against the prisoner is
that he used threats upon the stairs, that he brandished
a salver at the time, and was present with his father
when the injuries were inflicted. It was also shown that
the daughter of Shane, fearing what wou!d befal her
father, kissed the prisoner, and putting her hand into
his entreated him to be peaceable, just before the attack
was made.

Prisoner said he was not in the room at the time, and
was about to enter into a lengthened defence, when
Mr. Paynter intimated that as, in all probability, he
would be committed to the Central Criminal Court for
trial, he had bet.er for the present reserve what he had
to say, as it might be given in evidence against him upon
his trial.
Prisoner was remanded for a week.

MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
A very limited supply
of English wheat was on offer in
to-day's market. The demand, however, ruled very in-
active, at about Monday's quotations.
This week's imports of foreign wheat are 8,310 quarters.
Fine dry samples realised full prices; but low and mid-
ling qualities met a dull inquiry.
There was a fair inquiry for fine malting barley, at ex-
treme rates; but grinding and distilling sorts were a slow
sale. _ _

No change took place in the value of malt.
Oats were in moderate supply and fair request, at full
quotations.
Beans, peas, and flour were dull, but not cheaper.
