LONDON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1850.

Frequently during the last fortnight we have re-
ceived communications of a very violent character
relating to the rumoured intention of General
HAYnsu to visit this country. Our correspondents
have, we must acknowledge very naturally, exprs ssed
their feelings of abhorrence for that Austrain soldier
whose atrocities had desolated the homes and hearths
"of Hungary. Nevertheless, while recognising the
justice of these sentiments of execration towards an
individual so inramous by his cruelties, we have scrupu-
lously refrained of late from publishing any such
letters—remembering that it is the peculiar glory of
England to display her bospitalityindiscriminately to all
foreigners without respect to their political reputation. A
distinction, no doubt, might be reasonably drawn be-
tween the position of such persons as come amongst
us in the character of bankrupt fugitives and such as
obtrude themselves upon our notice as merely curious
visitants, the one provoking criticism by the audacity
of their approach, the other protected as it were by
the panoply of their misfortunes. Yet while such
a comparison might reasonably authorise the corn•
munity to articulate in some manner their detesta-
tion of any great political criminal, without in any
respect derogating from the fame of these islands as
the refuge of all foreign unfortunates—we are Hl'.
tisfied that a contemptuous and scornful indifference
would be more consonant with the national dignity,
and would be more expressive of the national loath-
ing, than the most vituperative attacks, or the most
opprobrious demonstrations. Such, however, is the
notoriety of the German officer before mentioned,
such is the abomination in which his career is t:eld by
the people of Great Britain, so odious are his Lets,
>o villanous is his celebrity, so detestable and sinis-
ter are his iltustrations—th:t on his first appearance
in the streets of this capital the feelings of the popu-
lation proved to be altogether irrepressit.le.
The desperate attack made yesterday upon
General HAYNAU, on the occasion of his visit
to a brewery in Bankaide, proves the inten
sky of that hatred which he has awakened to-
wards himself in :IP. bosoms of all classes of English-
men by his dastardly and ferocious treatment of the
heroes and patriots of Hungary. At the mere sound
of his detested name the whole of the working popu-
la'i of the locality " turned out" together, dray-
men and labourers, porters, coalheavers, and
scavengers, the whole of the motley sections of the
industrious multitude flung aside their occupations
on the instant, and rushed out en masse in pursuit
of the object of their execrations. The movement
was altogether without premeditation, and hence
its remarkable significance. It was the sudden out•
burst of that enthusiasm which has been aggregating
strength to itself now fur a considerable period. It
was the utterance of sentiments as ardent as they
have been long suppressed. It was an abrupt and
spontaneous token of the sympathy with which the
masses of the English community have all along re-
garded the valorous struggle of the Hungarians, and
of the silent horror with which they have watched
the brutalities exercised over that illustrious
race by their Austrian conquerors. Had the
renowned Kossirrli, the ex-Dictator of the
Magyars, appeared among the labouring men of
Benkside, instead of the cruel and pitiless HATNAU,
we are satisfied that the former would have received
an ovation as earnest and vociferous as the onslaught
upon the latter was furious and energetic. The
British multitude are presumed by many to be in-
attentive to the movements taking place in foreign
countries, and to regard the efforts at emancipation
with a crass and stolid indifference. The outbreak
yesterday on the Surrey side of the river declares
loudly to the contrary. It was maintained, more-
over, for a long time that of those who stein took into
account the course of events on the continent, the
vast majority had their hopes concentred upon the
cause of the Viennese Government. 'the assertion
has often been reprobated add derided by ourselves.
Here, however, is its refutation. In these outrages
which, considering that he was a stranger on our
:pores, we regret should have been committed on the
person of General HAYNAII, may be discerned the in•
tensity of feeling with which the English multitude
have sympathised with the Hungarians, and have
loathed with the tacit utter abhorrence the crimes
and atrocities of the Austrian Government. Here is
a testimony, and it must he confessed a rather
" striking " one too, of the truth of our of;-repeated
assertion, that the real sentiments of the English
people are expressed in the foreign policy of Lord
PALSIMESTON. That any foreigner whatsoever should
have met with such treatment in the streets of our
metropolis we cannot but think, as members of a
civilized age and of a civilized country, to be a matter
of poignant sorrow however execrable his
conduct may have been, and however irre-
trievable the infamies he has perpetrated. Lynch
law at all times we regard as more than merely un-
justifiable, as being,indeed, in itself an absolute
alevity —especially and peculiarly so when it hap-
pens to be employed towards a foreigner. To our
thinking, in fact, the lex talionis is elune suitable to
a race of be. barians. Ile: ides which, the sacred laws
of hospitality should never, under any circumstances,
suietnarily violated, not even for the purpose ut
het t( e detestatioe a great otiences, t unneitted
against the supreme Jews of lion
ill the face ot heavtn
aed of humanity. Fur these reasons it is that we
cannot but deplore the desperate attz ck made 3 ester-
day upon General Ileeeeu by the people of Bank-
side; although, at tee sine time, 10 extenuation or
the conduct of the multitude, it most be coetssed
that scarcely ever before has the p' pular fury been
provoked by more horrible or Inure preternatural
atrocities. It the Desolator of Etungary is solicitous
to escape heuceforlh from the recurrence of such
scenes as that which yesterday filled him with panic
and covered hem with ignominy, we would recommend
him to retire from England into :the ignoble obscurity
which is alone calculated to protect him from the brand
of civic vengeance. Let him withdraw at least for a
while from the glare of the public scrutiny, and there

endeavour, by yielding to the dictates of remorse, to
expiate the crimes of his administration.

Tne Loris' Committee on the commercial distress
having shown the unexampled fluctuations in the rate
of interest that followed the Act of 1844, as explained
in our impression of yesterday, considered the causes
to a bleb these violent alternations were attributable.
Winn the directors were considered responsible fur
their issues, they never under 814! circumstances
reduced the rate of discount below four per cent.,
although " there were occasions when the value of
money on approved bills was only 21 per cent. in the
money market." The result of this system, accords
ing to Mr. 1101ISLEY PALMER, WAS to "check that fall
in the rate of discount, when already low, which the
active competition of the Beek of England must have
produced, at.d. on the other hand, to check the ten-
dency upwards which would have been the result of a
reduction in the number of lteders, and of a consequent
scarcity of money. In the one case the Batik was
pt out of the discount market, in the other it ob-
taieed almost the command of the market. In both
va5Cll the effect vies to produce steadiness and dimi-
nish fluctuatiute" This salutary rule was, however,
ebendoeed in September, 1844. Immediately after the
Act received the Royal Assent, the Bank of England
being " given to understand, that it had nothing to do
with the circulation," and that it was to look at the
banking account alone, at once reduced its rate below
the 4 per cent. that bad been its lowest charge during
all former times, and entered into an active competi-
tion with the bill-brokers of Leanbard-street. Is no
longer preserved a uniform price, but announced a
minimum rate, which was varied according to circum-
stances, in tact it d,scentied from its elevated position as
a great national establishment to a private concern,
the object of which was to obtain the highest profits
tor its shareholders. The effect of this proceeding
was necessarily to diminish materially the value of
Toney, which in the latter end of 1844 was, accord-
ing to Mr. GEORGE CARR GLYN, "lower than in any
year within his recollection, as low as 11 per cent."
This extreme depreciation he very fairly attributed
" to the operations of the Bank of England in the
money market." " The railway expenditure" h.s
been by many blamed as one of the chief causes of the
crisie. We do not agree in that opinion, for as we
have already shown, that expenditure, whatever effect
it might have produced on individual, could not have
affected the national prosperity. It sent no money
out of the country. It was merely a transfer
from one pocket to another, which gave increased
employment to a large number of persons, and pro-
vided additional facilities for traffic and intercourse, the
advantages of which to the community in general have
never been controverted or denied, except, we believe,
by the Hon. and Gallant Colonel the Member fur
Lincoln. But let those who have so loudly com-
plained of railways go back a little further, inquire
into the causes that produced that mania, and ascer-
tain whether the Act of 1844 was not in a great
degree the cause of the excitement. Let the Lorde'
Committee answer. They say—" The effect of a low
rate of interest could not fail to give a great addi-
tional stimulus to speculation of all kinds. It
could not but have augmented the facility of forming
joint• stock companies for railroads and other
purposes. In the former cases it so acted the
more effectually, as the Bank of late adopted
a practice of investing its capital in railway se-
curities. The sum of 2.481,000/. was so invested,
and these securities seem by the B rnk to have been
substituted for the floating debt of the country. In
1844 the greatest investments of this kind took place,
and yet the Governor and beputy • Governor could nut
perceive the beams in their own eyes, although they
so clearly discerned the motes in their neighbours,
when, in describing the causes of the commercial
distress, they informed the Committee, "one cause of
it is that -many of those parties have been dealing in
railway shares." It is true that they may draw a dis-
tinction between the dealing in railway shares and
the debentures purchased by the Bank, but, as
the Committee justly remark, "it is evident
that the purchase of these securities by the
B,tek must have given a high sanction
and an Effective stimulus to those very undertakings
which the Committee find afterwards referred .to
among the causes of the commercial distress." The
fluctuation in the value of money m4y thus be clearly-
traced to the Act of 1844, and Mr. COBDEN, in
1840, when in the full vigour of his intellect, before
his brad was turned by excessive vanity, and before
he had resigned himself to the delusive absurdities co
the Peace Congress, declared, in speaking of the far
less violent fluctuations that bad previously occurred
—" I believe great evils have been occasioned to the
trade and manufactures of the country, in
1836 and 1837, and the subsequent period, by
fluctuations in the currency—greater evils,
pecuniary, social, and moral—than by the
direct failures of all the banks of is-u since they
were first established in this countr ." And yet that
very RICHARD COBDEN, eight years afterward., gave
what may almost be considered a casting vote in fa-
vour of a law that enormously increased these al
ternations, that rendered money when plentiful much
cheaper, decreased the rate of interest, and thus sti-
mulated the wild excitement and speculation which
necessarily led to a reaction, and then increased the
rates of discount so enormously as to transfer the
profits of those merchants and manufacturers who
were so fortunate as to escape total ruin into the
pockets of the capitalists, who lay by watching the
favourable opportunity.

ERE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The following is the official account of the depar-
ture of the PRESIDENT for Cherbourg i—
a‘ The President of the Republic took his departure
yesterday morning about hall-past nine for Evreux, on
his way to Cherbourg. He was accompanied hi his tra-
velling carriage by the Minister of the Interior, and the
Prefects of the Seine and of Police. Four other car-
riages followed, containing the-Ministers of Justice, of
Foreign Affairs, and of Marine, M. de Nieuwerkerque,
the orderly officers of the President, Dr. Conneau, M.
Mocquart, the chef de cabinet of the President, the
aides-de-camp of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs and of
Marine, coil the Secretary of the Minister of Justice,
General Exci lames *as on horseback by the side of the
Ptesid-a t's carriage. Generals Chs.hgarnter, Pert, ard
Cuterebert, and the Ministers of War, Public Woiks,
Commuree, and Public Instruction, came to bid the
Preiident adieu. Gfintnandaut Fleury preceded if,
a chaise-de-poste the President by about an hour. As

ciple and a truth, although the whole world should be
armed against it. " A nation may," he says, " adopt
or not adopt the principle of legitimacy, as it is free to
decide the question Gf form of government; •but if
the nation believes that it ought to return to the here-
ditary and traditional principle for sake of its security,
then the popular sanction cannot be called upon to
recognise or certify that right. What one vote might
do another vote might undo, and thus the changing
law of majorities would open the way to adventures
and dargiirs. In fine, there are things which cannot
and ought not to be discused. A dybate on the bub-
jvct of an appeal to the people is dangerous."
This is a complete disavowal by the Count of

lowers.

M. 13aroche has a country house. The Press ient was to
rip there for a short. time, having agreed to partake
of ecoilatien provided by the Minister. The President

consequ.rce, he will nut be back in Paris until the 1311,,

of the Councils-General of Departments have agreed

tie announcement is that no such resolution has been
come to, it is not published. The Bonvartists, how-
ever, are not quite at their ease in reg.rd to these
resolutions; it is true that resolutions have been come
to in the majority of instances in favour cf the revi-
sion of the Constitution, but it is equally true that in
the majority of instances the resoiution goes on to

DESPERATE ATTAt K UPON

IiENERAL fIAYNAU.

Yesterday morning, shortly before twelve o'clock,
three foreigners, one of whom was very old and wore
long rnoustachias, presented themselves at the brewery
of Messrs. Barclay and Company, for the purpose of
inspecting the estahlislimeet. According to the re-
gular practice of visitors they were requested to sigti
their names in a book in the office, after which they
crossed the yard with one of the clerks. On inspect-
ing the visitors' hook the clerks discovered that one of
the parties was no other than Marshal Haynau,
the late commander of the Austrian forces during
the attack upon the unfortunate Hungarians. It
became known all over the brewery in less than
two minutes, and bt fore the General and his coinpa-
iti,,ns had crossed the yard nearly all the labourers
and draymen ran out with brooms and dirt, shouting
out " Down with the Austrian butcher," and other
epithets of rather en alarming nature to the Marshal.
A number of the men gathered round the Marshal as
he was viewing the large vat, and continued their
hostile manifestations. The Marshal being made ac-
quainted by one of the persons who accompanied him,
of the feeling prevailing against him, immediately
prepared to retire. But this was not so easily done.
The attack was commenced by dropping a truss of
straw upon his head as he passed through one of the
lower roans; after which grain and missiles of
every kind that came to hang were freely bestowed
upon him. The men next struck his hat over his
eyes, and hutl, d him from all directions. His
clothes were torn off his back. One of the men seized
him by the beard, and tried to cut it off. The
marshal's companions were treated with Equal vio-
letter. They, however, defended themselves —man-
fully, and succeeded in reaching the outside of the
building. Here there were assembled about 500 per-
sons, consisting of the brewer's men, coal-heavers,
&c., the presence of the obnoxious visitor having be-
come known in the vicinity. No sooner had the
Marshal made his appearance outside the get, s than
he was surrounded, pelted, struck with every avail-
able missile, and even dragged along by his moustache,
which afforded ample faciiitiet to his assailants, from
its excessive length, it reaching nearly down to his
shoulders. Still b.sttlitig with his assailants, he ran
in a frantic manner along Bankside until he came
to the George public. house, when finding the
doors open he rushed in and proceeded up-
stairs into one of the bedrooms, to the utter astonish-
ment of Mrs. Benfield, the landlady, who soon dis-
covered his name and the reason of his entering the
house. The furious mob rushed in after him, threat-
ening to do for the "Austrian butcher ;" but, for-
tunately for-him, the house is very old-fitsteoned,and
contain* a vast number of doors, which were all
forced open, except the room in which the Marshal
"Was concealed The mob had increased at that time
to several hundreds, and from their excited state
Mrs. Benfield became alarmed about her own pro-
perty as well as the Marshal's life. She accordingly
dispatched a messenger to the Southwark polices
station for the assistance of the police; and in a short
time Inspector Squires arrived at the George with a
number of police, and with great difficulty dispersed
the mob and got the Marshal out of the house. A
police galley was at the wharf at the time, into which
be was taken, and rowed towards Somerset-house,
amidst the shouts and execrations of the mob. Messrs.
Barclay have suspended all hands, in order to dis-

the two attendants of the Marshal were an aidesde-
damp and an interpreter. He had presented a letter
of introduction from Baron Rothschild, who had
therein described him as " his friend Marshal

FEARFUL ACCIDENT IN THE WATERLOO-ROAD.-
This forenoon, shortly before nine o'clock, a party, consisting
of two men and a female, were returning home trom Barnet
fair in a tour-wheel chain, along the Waterloo road, Lam-
beth, when, owing to the unskilfulness of the driver, through
intoxication, he was unable to maintain the least command
over the animal, and the moment it bad cle.red the York-
road, it natied down the public thoroughfare at a furious
rate. A young woman was knocked down near the Hero of
Waterloo inn, and a man with a barrow laden with fruit had
his stuck in trade spoiled by the chaise overturning his
barrow. The cabmen on the ‘Vaterleo-road rank were
ohl,grd to remove their vehicles to the opposite side of
the road ti prevent the drunken' party from driving
against them. The driver at length pulled the reins
of the animal so tight on the near-side, as to pull
it on to the pavement at the entrance of the Water-
loo-road terminus, when the chaise struck the lamp-
post at the gate, which it shivered. At the same instant the
persons in the chaise were pitched out by the force :of the
collision. The horse continued to dash along the Waterloo-
road until he reached the trout of the Victoria Theatre, when
he was stopped. The parties who were thrown out of the
chaise were taken to Mr. Brooke's surgery, in the Waterloo-
road, when it was found that the head of one was .severely
cut. The wounds having been dressed, the two men and the
cnaise were removed to Tower-street Police-station, both
men bei,g so drunk as to be incapable of taking care of
themselves. One is named Jesse Pitt, living at 88, Corn-
wall road, and the other is named William Waite, and resides
at 3, Flask-row, Pimlico. The female escaped uninjured.

CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.--The fillowing notice
to the public has been issued by order of the Postmaster-
General, which,,it is to be loped, will be generally adopted :
As it is nut safe to transmit letters containing coin through
the post, persons having occasion to remit small sums are
earnestly recommended to make use to the Money Order-
afice. Money orders for anus not exceeding at. are grunted
and paid in every post town in the United Kingdom, and at
the principal receiving-house,. in London. Persons who may
desire to remit bank notes or draughts payable to bearer, or
other valuable property, may regi,ter the letter on payment
of a tee of thl. in addition to tile postage. In the ca:fa ~t bank
notes or built post, bibs being sent, the numbers, dates, and
amount sheuLi be caretuily taken; and the safest course trill
be to cut such notes, &c., in half, sending e4ch ha t by a
separa a post. With the great convenience thus afforded fur
sendinj sums at so low a charge, and the potter given of
registering letters, it is to be hoped the public will in all
cases in future avail themselves of these methods."

In ccminentisz upon all this, we are very well aware
of the diffien!ties in ihe way of a just jeidgmetit with re-
spect to the vessels destroyed. The coast of Brazil has
harboured so many notnrioutly bad charact-trs—bas been
int.gaged is, such a system of piratical adventure upon a
pertion of the world—awl has given so many evidences
of cruelly ligainst the African rare, that vessels are sus-
pected—and i,.ry properly too—of being engaged in the
ill, gal slay.t (rad,. Under these circumstances, to dis-
criminaiebetween the hcriest merchant vessels and the
pirates, is a matter much more difficult then a stranger
wf.uld be led to suppose. Where there is a greet chance
for ungodly gain artifice is most rnatt.rly ita inge-

The feature in the Foreign market was a rise in
Mexican Stock, upon the publication of the details of
the plan drawn up by the Committee of Congress. The
outline was made known some time since under this
head, and the great hope ef something tangible arising
fr,m it is, that the recently installed Finance Mims,er
acted on the Commitite, and being responsible for its
suggestions, is boiled to use every exertion to carry
them out. Probably his bands will be strengthened
by the presence of M. Falcobnet as the agent
of the bondholders, and the obtainment of a
portion of the indemnity money is clearly a matter
worth battling for, while it will be of the utmost impor •
tauce to settle definitively what amount shall be paid
out of the next instalment. We have had, and still ea-
t.* stain, apprehensions that the temptation to replenish
Ve Mexican treasury will be so great as to prove,
almost irresistible, it it be nearly as exhausted
as is represented, but perseverance on the part
of AI. Felconnet, and the assistance of the British
Ambassad, r, may go fir to ensure at least a partikl pay-
went. The Bonds opened at 30, but have been dune
since at 29f I because, in reality, the details have been tai-
l' iieiputed. The accounts of July 27 from Mexico, received
this morning, state that the canvass for the Presidency
was progressing rapidly. hpani.h bondsare rather heavy,
the Five per Cents. having bteu done at 19k k. The
Passive are at 4k, and the Three per Cents. at 37f.
It would appear that there are many Passive
holders who by nu means like the proposed
settlement of their claims, but really we think
they ee ill consult their own interest by acqaiescieg.
One party writes us that the new plan involves
" a direct frsach of faith with the faasive holders, inas
much as et the previous meeting it distinctly pledged
aisle' to claim an amelioration of the , terms °tiered by
Senor Murillu in an equal ratio for both Active sod Pas-
sive Bonds alike. Baron Rothschild, the than chairman
and a member or the committer, atter giving the above
assurance, to prevent the possibility of any mieunder-
weeding in this respect, iilui.trated his meaning in the
following terms: --' Assuming that by the Spanish
scheme Active Bonds would be worth 20 and the Pas-
sives 5, then for every 41. additional which we shall
claim for the former, we shall demand IL for the latter.'
In what way has this pledge been redeemed? B) the
ache me refei red to 3501. Passives would have been equi-
veleta in value to 1001. Active, together with
arreais of interest thereon, whereas by the
plan proposed by the committee the letter
would be worth 450/. Passives; and when a
gentleman then present proposed such a modification
thereof as would have made it more consistent with the
pledge before given by the committee, the latter did not
hesitate to oppose it and to procure its rejection by the
majority of those present."
We would simply remark upon this that Spanish
finance questions are to be judged of by no rule that
would apply to other countries. There seems an itapos -
aibilify of tab:air:Rig full justice, and therefore the natural
inquiry is, nill n the bondholders act wieely to accept
a ci m pt.( mire, even at a great sacs Rice, for the sake of an
unitorm arrangement. Even taking the terms as
proeesed, the Passive stock taut rise in the
market, should .t,ie Gevernment at Madrid
acquiesce. Portuguese F,.ur i.er Cent Bonds
have been 331 to 34k, and Brazilian lather flatter
also at 91k. Dutch '1 wo and-eel:Jell per Cents. bring
57k 1. _ _
