fetor to the already disgusting exhalations of the
river—as if that stream was not sufficiently polluted
by being rendered the drain or sewer of a capital so
vast and densely populated ! As to locality, we can-
not but think, with all possible deference to the Board
of Health, that a spot situated at so
short a distance from the Standard on Cornhill,
scarcely removed from the atmosphere of the metro-
polis, contiguous to the banks of the Thames, and
surrounded by such multitudes of villas, squares,
terraces, and other habitations, is of all places one of
the least eligible for employment as an extramural
cemetery. It would only tend to mar the beauties of
the Garden of England without materially improv-
ing the salubrity of the Capital of England. Then
as to the principle—we cannot but think that a
huge monopoly like this, a monopoly which will
inevitably originate a general Undertaking depart-
ment in the Government, and which must likewise
interfere directly with the interests of the eight sub-
urban cemeteries now in existence, is a project of a
kind very little indeed to be desiderated. We might
carry out the argument with similar force in refe-
rence to the number of reception-houses, the extent
of exudations and exhalations, the amount of saving
and of outlay, and the exorbitant charges to
be demanded for interment ; but from what
has already been abo►e remarked we conjec-
ture sufficient to have been said to prevent the public
generally from being enamoured of that scheme
which has been regarded with so much favour by her
MAJESTY'S Government. It must be obvious, more•
over, that these particulars are eminently entitled to
consideration, some such gigantic innovations being
absolutely requisite for the purpose of carrying out
the beneficent intentions of the Legislature.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
T're r,a'e3 cf Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
chin iwed at about 4,000 ktlai.—lte.ilway Shares were
at st(a-ly quotations..

We have received the Paris journals of
yeEterdsy.
The PRESIDENT of the Republic made his entry
into Caen at a quarter to seven o'clock on Wednesday
evening. He was received by the prefect and the
authorities at the Demilune, the junction of the three
roads leading to Lisieux, Pont l'Eveque, and Trou-
ville, and which forms a crescent. At that spot a
magnificent triumphal arch was erected, with banners
and suitable inscriptions. The PRESIDENT was re-
ceived with cries of " Vive le Pi Lident !" " Vive
Napoleon !"
There were rumours of an intended Bonapartist
coup d'etat circulated in Paris yesterday, which at one
time obtained such credit Es to seriously affect the
Funds. These rumours are thus noticed in the Siecle:—
" Hardly has the President of the Republic quitted
Paris for Cherbourg, before disquieting rumours begin
to circulate: there are those who undertake to name the
appointed day fur an emeute to be undertaken by the
most ardent members of an Imperialist Association. Some
wretches are to be hired to carry a red flag inscribed
with the Democratic and Socialist Republic, advantage will
then be taken cf this wicked and easily-repressed manifes-
tation, and a pretext put forward in favour of the prolon-
gation of the powers of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte. When
bad passions, aided by public credulity,serve to get up such
bubbles, the best way is to cause them to be expluded
beforehand. We could not, without reflecting on the
good sense of the population, give credit for a moment
to these odious rumours, which are propagated for some
purpose which it is not easy to comprehend. To little
purpose bas our country suffered so many painful trials
within the last two years, if it only needs the machina-
tiocs of a portion of the dregs of society, worked
through detestable intrigues, to compromise our institu-
tions, public security, the repose of families, and the
well-being of all."
After some further remarks this journal pro-
ceeds :

I he Bark of England during the rut week made but
little change either in the amount of its circulation or
bullion, but a further material addition to the BAIL:
Deposits supplied nevertheless the means of extending
the leans upon other securities. The private lodgments
were again somewhat curtailed, and this so far agrees
with the statements of late, that employment is more
readily found for surplus cash. Compared with the
previous week the following changes are apparent:—

The negotiation of bills of exchange on the principal
continental cities was effected yesterday afternoon, for
90 days' date, at 25 50 to 55 on Antwerp, 13 101 to 111
on Hamburgh, and 11 50 to 55 on Trieste, being rather
lower rates, but an Paris the quotutions were firm at
25 52i to 571, on Frankfort at 1201 to and on Am-
sterdam at 12 2 to 2f.
From the 23d of last month to yesterday, the Hon.
East India Company drew bills on the presidencies to
the amount of 50,3781., of which 43,722/. were on Bengal.
The experts of the precious metals direct from London
during the present week have comprised„l,99s ounces of
gold, chiefly to the Mauritius, and 164,425 ounces of
silver, all, except 69,525 ounces t) Calcutta, being for-
warded to Belgium and France.
The Amsterdam Stock Market on the sth instant was
firmer for Dutch Securities, the Two-and•a-Half per
Cents. being 571 to 57 1-16. Spanish Bonds were more
freely offered.

" We trust in the honesty of M. Louis Napoleon Bo-
naptrte; we believe that he will never consent to dis-
honour himself by an act of perjury. His character, we
verily believe, affords a serious guarantee, upon which
we confidently reckon. Everything, therefore, concurs
to reassure us against the rumours which have been put
into circulation. If we are well informed, some mem-
bers of the permanent commission have been so struck
by these rumours that they have engaged representa-
tives of the extreme Left, to warn the working classes
against surprise."
The .Evenement states that General CHANGARNIER
has announced to the members of the Society, of the
10th December, that he " will oppose with all his
might any renewal of such manifestations as that
which lately failed upon the return of the PRESIDENT
from Lyons and Strasbourg." The manifestation in
question had for its object to take the horses from the
PRESIDENT'S carriage and draw him home in
triumph ; but the scheme was prevented, by orders to
the soldiery. General CHANGARNIER has remained
in Paris during both the journies of the PRESIDENT,
and it is said that there does not exist that entente
cordiale between them which existed heretofore; in-
deed, it was currently reported on Thursday that a
telegraphic dispatch had been received from the PRE-
SIDENT of the Republic, dismissing General CHAN-
GAENIER from the command of the troops of the first
military division, that is to say from the command of
the garrison of Paris. This report caused the price
of Funds to fall per cent.
The Pays has the following :
" Tie re has been a talk since yesterday of an order
of the day of General Chaegarnier, superior commander
of the army of Paris, forbidding officers and sub.officers
of the corps under his command from taking part in a
subscription intended to offer, in the name of the army,
a banquet to the President of the Republlc. We have
made iequirit s respecting this order of the day, and all the
soldiers of the garrison of Paris whom we have consulted
have stated to us that they know nothing ab.ait it. Now,
as it is known that the orders of the day of the General-
in-Chief are always communicated to all the corp., it is
more than probable that that about which so much noise
is made does not exist."
The latest intelligence in relation to these rumours
is contained in the following postscript to the

Mr. JONES LOYD, DOW Lord OVERSTONE, was one
of the few witnesses examined on the inquiry into
the causes of the commercial distress, whose faith in
the Act of 1844 remained perfectly unshaken, who
clung to it with a desperate fidelity, "through
good report and through bad report," and
could discern none of the evils that were
so clearly perceptible to other witnesses. He ad-
mitted that he " thought it was right, under all the
circumstances then existing, to issue the letter,"
and that "the effect of the letter was precisely what
was contemplated, and wished for," but he contended
that, " although the letter was a departure from the
positive provisions of the Act, it was not a departure
from the principle of the Act." We confess that, with
the Lords' Committee, we are unable " to recognise
this distinction." There was a clear and positive
enactment forbidding the issue of notes beyond a
certain amount, except upon an Equal amount
of bullion stored up in the Bank cellars,
The Bank itself was in the greatest danger in
consequence of that restriction. The Governor and
Deputy-Governor thought they could have weathered
the storm, but it could only have been by an extensive
sale of Consols, and a great limitation of discounts.
The Premier and the Chancellor of the Exchequer
recommended that they should " enlarge the amount
of their discounts and advances upon approved se-
curity," and as this course was clearly incompatible
with their position, if the provisions of the Act were
to be maintained, the Treasury letter declared that
"if this course should lead to any infringement of
the existing law, her MAJESTY'S Government
will be prepared to propose to Parliament, on
its meeting, a Bill of Indemnity." This was
a distinct authority to the parties concerned to
" depart from the principle " of the measure, which
was considered of such vital importance, that the re-
laxing power, so urgently asked for by the London
bankers in their memorial of the .11th June, 1844

Tie Funds are very flat this morning, and the ar-
rangements for settling the account, which terminates on

" Ten o'clock, Night—Rumours of various kinds, and
which will be found described in our Bourse article,
were in circulation to-day. At the hour at which we
write all our information leads us t,) believe that these
rumours have either been exaggerated or without serious
foundation."
M. DE PERSIGNY arrived in Paris from Berlin on
Thursday.
Count DE MOINTALIVET, formerly Intendent of the
Civil List of the ex-King LOUIS PHILIPPE, has writ-
ten to the Patric', to deny the statement of certain
journals, of his having visited the Count DE CHAM.
HOED at Wiesbaden ; and stating that if he had not
been confined to his house for more than five months,
by severe indisposition, it was to Claremont that he
would have gone to pay his respects to the King,
" whose loss he weeps as a faithful and devoted
friend."
The Councils-General of the Departments continue
to adopt resolutions in favour of the " legal" revision
of the Constitution ; the majority of them have pro-
nounced in this manner. On this subject we find the
following in the Journal des Dabals.

was positively refused by the Legislature under any
possible circumstances. The sanction of the Govern-
ment was thus deliberately given to a course unwar-
ranted by law, and which might be attended with
very serious consequences to the Bank if Par-
liament refused to pass the suggested indemnity,
but Mr. LOYD thought that "no departure
from principle," and evidently considered the
events which rendered the letter justifiable as
likely to be " of occasional recurrence," while the
Governor of the Bank, also a supporter of the Act,
expressed even a more distinct opinion that such con-
tingencies may not be very unfrequent, evidently point-
ing to once in " five or six years" as the periods
when they may be looked fur; and yet these very
parties desire the continuance of the Act, which will

—dis.

render her MAJESTY'S Ministers the habitual violators
of the law, or rather the authorisers of its violation,
and the protectors of those who legally must be con-
sidered as wilful and deliberate offenders.

" The Councils-General have only made a very mo-
derate use of the exceptional right, which in some re-
spects is conferred on them by circumstances, of discus-
sing political questions. We cannot blame the reserve
of which they have given proof; it is explained by an
honourable sentiment which has caused them to fear that
they might exceed their constitutional authority, and
encroach on the prerogatives of the great public powers.
We live at a time in which the scruples of legality are
too rare not to be cited in honour of the constituted
corps which gave an example of them. Still we cannot
disguise from ourselves that the initiative of the Coun-
cils-General, in the limits to which they have con-
sidered themselves obliged to restrict it, loses
much of the importance and efficacy it might
have had; we may even say that it no longer re-
sponds to the public solicitude, impatience, and anxiety.
The Constitution must be revised, and revised legally,'
such is the formula adopted by most of the Coun-
cils-General. But in the expression of this modest
wish the Councils-General have been forestalled by
public opinion. The cries of the Constitution are so
well recognised that the necessity of revising it is not
contested even by the great number of those veho drew
it up. This necessity has just been proclaimed once
more by the man whom we will call as much as he
pleases the founder of the Republic, for we do not we-
tend to flatter him in giving him the title—by M. de
Lamartine himself. This wish for the revision, which
is in every mind and ever mouth, had almost nothing
to gain being expressed by the Councils-General. But
what are the means of revising the Constitution in ob-
serving the forms and conditions laid down by the Con-
stitution itself? Such is the important, the delicate,
the true question in the order of the day. Article
111 of the Constitution is thus conceived: ' When
in the last year of the legislation, the National Arsembly
shall have expressed the wish that the Constitutio❑
shall be modified wholly or in part, the re-
vision shall be proceeded to in the following manner.
The wish expressed by the Assembly shall only
become a definitive resolution after three consecutive de-
liberations, taken each at a month's interval, and by
three-fourths of the suffrages expressed. The number
of voters must be five hundred at least.' Can such a
majority as this article requires—a majority uniting
three-fourths of the votes expressed—be obtained in the
present Assembly ? Can tLis majority be formed, not
once by chance, but three times following, and with a
month's interval ? Such are the two questions raised by
Article 111 of the Constitution, which now cccupy pub-
lic opinion. We quote these two difficulties ; we might
indicate many others. In not touching on these deli-
cate questions, in passing them over in silence, aopa•
rently because they believed that they were not within
the limits of their powers, the Councils-General have
merited the honourable mention which we have just ac-
corded to their modesty and prudence, but they have re-
mained beneath the expectation which they had excited
in public opinion. The country would probably have
absolved them bad they been less prudent."
It is evident from the above that the state of public
opinion in the departments as indicated by the deli-
berations in the Councils General, is by no means such
as to please those who are endeavouring to promote a
reaction in favour of monarchy.

Again, Mr. LOYD totally denied the fact that the
Bank were constrained to put a heavy pressure on com-
mercial accommodaticn. The Hon. Gentleman looked
merely to the amount of notes issued by the Bank,
and measured the public accommodation by that
amount, as3uming that one fixed amount of notes
out of the custody of the Bank, and in the hands
of the public, will at all times produce the same effect,
and will be governed by the same laws. This
glaring fallacy was completely overturned by the
other testimony, particularly by that of Messrs.
HORSLEY PALMER, NORMAN, and S. GURNEY, who
pointed out the " hoarding" of notes occasioned by
the fear that the requisite supply could not be ob-

tained, and the consequent diminution of the cir-
culation, by four or five millions of pounds
sterling, and also the diminution of the
activity and efficiency of that circulation. The last-
named gentleman, Mr. S. GURNEY, clearly proved
that the same amount of notes in the hands of the
public would act very differently according to dif-
ferent circumstances. That in many cases the amount

out would " no longer be currency," and even the
Governor of the Bank declared that "in times of

panic the money market will bear the issue of a
greater quantity of notes than it will in ordinary
times, for the ordinary purposes of trade, without
affecting the exchanges." On this point, then, Mr.
LOYD stands wholly alone. He has no supporter,
and yet the " well selected" majority of the Commit-
tee of the Commons rely implicitly on his evidence
in favour of the Act, evidence which is so completely
overset by the truly noble Committee of the heredi-
tary branch of the Legislature.

knowledging to a certain extent that an internal drain

principles, stating that under "an adverse exchange
the circulation ought to be contracted, but no such
necessity exists under a favourable exchange," still
thought that " the Banking department should nct

look to the causes of a drain of bullion, but simply
look to the state of the banking reserve." He is
thus not merely opposed to the other testimony in
this respect, but even inconsistent with himself.
It was, however, necessary to go to this extent if he
would vindicate the Act, which applies one invariable
rule to every case, and which re quires a contraction
of the circulation when the bullion has decreased
from internal causes, although there is at the moment
a flow of bullion into the country. The lion. Gen-
tleman was, indeed, what an Old Bailey advocate
would term " an admirable witness," sticking at
nothing to support his " bantling," which was cer-
tainly, if not his actual offspring, at least " the
child of his adoption." He, however, proved rather too
much. His evidence might have been more valuable
if it had been less decisive--if it had admitted some
slight defects, and not claimed absolute perfection for
the culprit on trial. To borrow an illustration from
proceedings before the criminal tribunals, we may
suggest that an alibi is not always the best defence
that can be set up when the complicity of the pri-

on the Ist inst. Admiral DELASSAUX reviewed on

;he same day the 3d Regiment of Marines. Three

Walworth were kept in a state of alarm by a furious bullock,
which broke from a herd driven along the Kent-read, and
attacked every thing that came across it. A woman, named
Ann Gieering, living in Tower-street, Waterloo-road, was
knocked down and gored by the animal. She had to be
removed to the hospital. A gentleman, named Seagrave,
living in Kennington-oval, was also dreadfully injured. After
a chase of two hors the animal was secured in Blackman-
street.
