We begin to think that the sooner Mr.
HAMMOND, of the Foreign-office, is hanged the
better. Not contented with flashing disastrous
news from the East, he seems resolved to set the
West at loggerheads by his foreign innovations.
What would he be at Is he a friend of QUEEN
AIiZLIA, or in the (paper !) pay of King OT MO
of Greece---or is he trailing a red herring over the
foggy field of Jockeyship, to draw off public atten•
tion from the immediate meeting of Parliament
What would he be at ? What will be his next
move ? We should dearly like to know---but
this "tarnation " telegram of his seems to puzz'e
everybody, and satisfy nobody. The last confer-
ence la Paris was bad enough, if we may judge by
the results,--but if they meet again and settle the
whereabouts of Mr. HAMMOND's adopted found-
ling, whether it was picked up at Bath or Bath-
sheba, we shall readily forgive them all the errors
of their maps and boundaries for all time to come.
It is usual at this time of the year to be pes-
tered with long riginaroles on the state of
th# weather and the probabilities of what
will become of us when Parliament
is pleased to meet ; but in all our
editorial recollection (and that is not a mere holi-
day one), we have never been so attacked by
scholars and novices, who deem themselves the
more learned cf the two, as by the mutineers
against Mr. HAN3IO/1-D'S Telegrams ! Why don't
he doff his Foreign assumptions, and become a
homely 19/16 like one of us ! We might
then perhaps understand him better, and even
condescend to take a lesson in Greek from him--
but not in bonds or modern promises to restore
Greece to her ancient glory. If Mr. HAMMOND
wll, in printer's phrase, " dele telegram iu his
next despatch by the fall of Delhi we shall for-
give him all the sins of his foreign relations !

THIS EVENING, will be performed AMBITION : or,

the exchanges—to provide for any surplus that
may be against us, or the balance of trade. But
surely it ought to be used solely in that way. As
a circulating medium it is, perhaps, the worst
that could be indicated. The fifty millions of
sovereigns required for the transactions of every-
day life, cost, at the present rate of discount, four
millions of pounds sterling per annum ; and "the
wear and tear," on actual destruction of property,
about three per cent., or 1,500,0001. a-year.
This is the result of the absurd prohibition of
11. notes, which saved the country in 1825, and
would do so again in 1857 if allowed by law.
We shall, however, soon understand the ex-
tent of the grievance. It is impossible
that mattters can remain in their present
condition. There must be a change, and the
sooner that change is effected the better ? It
would be well if Parliament were convened to
decide the matter. Bat still, the Government
may interfere, and they ought to do so. Lord
PALIIERSTON should not suffer his name to be de-
preciated in comparison with that of Lord JOHN
RUSSELL, the Premier of 1847.
As we have already explained, an extended
issue of notes is indispensable, and they should be
of small denominations, for 1/. and the fractional
divisions of pounds, 55., 103., and 155., as
in the North of Ireland. The pounds would eco-
nomise gold, the shillings silver, and almost every
transaction could be arranged by means thereof.
A correspondent, whose communication appeared
in our yesterday's impression, suggested that every
banker depositing 105/. of Three per Cant, °JO-
sols should be entitled to issue 100/. of legal-
tender notes. The proposition is worthy of
consideration. Why should parties offering
ample security be refused every fair and rea-
sonable facility I It was "credit" that elevated
England to the high commercial position she now
occupies, and that " credit" should not be reck-
lessly sacrificed. It is not merely the converti-
bility of the bank note that is required.
The certainty that it is based on satis-
factory security and could be redeemed at
any moment, would;be sufficient. Let us get free
trade in currency, and that will maintain Great
Britain in the proud position she has so long oc-
cupied. Without it, she must sink, and terrible
indeed will be the fall, and none will feel it more
than those who have produced the calamity.

lof the Crown's interests at Leadenhall-street.
If there be, however, we should like to have had
a foretaste of it prior to the meeting of Parlia-
ment. If there be not, then assuredly Mr. Wllo
LOUGHBY is a notable instance of the length of
time during which the Civil Service in India may
teach a man merely European routine there. We
confess to some fear that Mr. W. sees Indian ques-
tions only through Civil Service spectacles.
Mr. WILLOUGHBY, like most other persons,
,doea not think the revolt a national one, and ad-
duces, as we all have done, the conduct of the
peasantry generally, and of the vast majority of
the native princes. He does not think irritation
with the missionaries was the cause of if-, and
alleges, as others before him, the absence of all
complaint of their proceedings, and of any special
attacks upon their persons. He does not think
the annexation policy was the source of the dis-
affection, since those most affected by it have not
joined the rebels ; and, with one slight exception,
it would not affect the revolted body. That
exception, however, if Oude be alluded to,
is hardly a slight one ; and it must be owned
we fear that the King of OUDE'S clever and able
minister, ALLY NI:JOKY KHAN, has been a prime
mover and instigator in the getting up and work-
ing of the mutiny. Mussulman zeal ; the ignoring,
and worse than that, of Christianity, by the Gc-
vernment ; centralization, and depriving officers
of the high powers they used to exercise ; these
and other things were merely mentioned to in-
form us that they all might have something to do
with it, but what that something is, this deponen
sAyetia not.

Perhaps, however, the whole of Mr. WIL-
LOUGHBY'S real speech, like the contents of a
Lady's note, is to be found in the postscript.
Mr. W. was not "prepared to defend the system
by which India is at present governed ; " that is
something—for an Honourable Director• to be
unable to defend the Directorate system. "Sins
of omission and of commission the company may
have committed "—that is humble—still he must

' not be too humble—" for, taken as a whole, their
rule has been beneficent, and has done great good to
India." Well, we will not deny the company
that consolation ; although, except the good inci-
dental to trading profits or dividends for them-
selves, it is not easy to perceive. The direct
fruits of any such principle as governing India for
the good of its inhabitants, , rather than for the
benefit of the Company or the civil Service, we

know not where to look for. Perhaps the Pun.

PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING.
The following private telegraphic despatches have
been received here :

The last sentence of all, however, is that
for which probably the speech was delivered,
" Whether," said be, "any other system of
government may be devised which would be more
beneficial I cannot say ; but it certainly would
not answer to place the whole of that empire
under a Secretary of State, assisted by resident
officers." Of course it would not answer to
abolish the Court of Directors, and to send Mr.
WILLOUGHBY and his coadjutors, with their
sinecure salaries of 1,0001. a-year, and 5001. a-
year each, and all the patronage too, to the right
about—it would not do for Mr. MANGLES and
Mr. WILLOUGHBY, most certainly. Whether it

MARSEILLES, OCT. 19.
c‘ The news of a revolt at Tripoli is contradicted.
The English Consul has published an order from
Constantinople, permitting the export of oxen ;
nevertheless, the Bey's Government persists in re-
fusing to obey, in consequence of losses experienced
by disease and the Wants of the country."
"BERLIN, Oct 19.
" The last bulletin published at Sans Souci, dated
this morning, says, The Kingi4lept well last night,
except with some short interruptions. The state of
his Majesty is nearly the same as yesterday.'"
The Board of Directors of the Bank of France
have decided that the rate of discount shall he
raised to 7i per cent., as the Bank of England had
fixed its rate at 8 per cent. This measure has not
much affected the market, which has been prat ty
steady.

will eventually do for this country to throw on a
Secretary of State, with half a dozen of assistants
here (Mr. W. one of them if he likes) and a suit-

able authority in India, the responsibility of
governing India as this nation ought to govern it,
remains to be seen. We incline to the opinion
that great and clear responsibility will necessitate
first-rate appointments, and that first-rata men

will do justice to themselves, to India, and to
England. We are glad. to see that Mr. LAYAICD

has set out on a self-constituted commission of in•

quirt', intending to work hard for six months, to
bring us back the result of his inquiry, and with
the hope that some widowed constituency will,
before May, select him to act for them and for i
India next Session.

THE LIBERTY OF THE SUBJECT.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,--The new-born energy instilled into the
police at the West-end, seems to be very nearly ap-
proaching the illegal. lam not an uphol ler of the
" market," but Ido think the following case was
a most unwarrantable interference on the part of
" the powers that be" in Vine-street :—On Mon-
day evening at about 10 o'clock two females
(foreigners) of the class yclept "unfortunate,"
were accosted by
a gentleman, well known to
them ; after a very short conversation they parted
from him, when a "limb of the law " seized and
conveyed them to the station-house, where they
were incarcerated until taken before the magistrate
in the morning, who fined them 103. each. The
anticipated " Justices' justice " meted to the pro-
prietors of the Argyll-rooms, called forth an in-
dignant comment from you, and I, therefore, trust
that the attack on the liberty of the subject, how-
ever degraded they may have been, will insure the
insertion of this iu your impartial and powerful
organ.
