LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1850.

If the men of the past generation, to whom a
j ourney from London to Edinburgh was a pilgrimage,
and the receipt or dispatch of a letter an event—and
not always a welcome one in those days of heavy
postage,—if these men could return again to the land
of the living, it is easy to imagine the consternation
with which they would regard things that are to us
mere matters of every-day occurrence. As fami-
liarity is said to breed contempt, so constant use ren-
ders marvels no longer marvellous. To us it has
ceased to be a matter of astonishment that "the sun
has become our portrait painter, and the lightning our
bearer of messages." It has even excited interest
rather than surprise, that almost incredible con-
trivance whereby a conversation can be kept up be-
tween London and Paris at the interval of only a few
minutes between asking a question and obtaining an
answer ! Now America is within a ten days' voyage
of England; the citizen of London can reach Brighton
in an hour, and more wonderful yet, he can take a
trip there and back for the cost of 3s. 6d. ! Ima-
gine the amazement of one of the slow travellers
above alluded to as these and other similarly
strange matters were expounded to him I To us,
accustomed as we are to their occurrence, they ap-
pear on reflection hardly so astonishing on philoso-
phical as they are satisfactory on philanthropic
grounds. Science is now proving herself one of the
tutelary deities of humanity. No beneficent genius
of fairy tales ever wrought more marvellous and more
blessed transformations in behalf of suffering mortals.
S 3 universal and so efficacious is her ministering
agency in the present day, that she appears expressly
fitted at the same time to supply the wants and to
remedy the ill effects of the rapid march of civiliza-
tion. It would be premature as yet to enumerate the
good effects in a commercial, in a mental, and in a
moral point of view, which must necessarily result
from the facile and frequent intercourse of men
of all nations. When we are told that the electric
wire unites kingdoms whose inhabitants have been
looked upon as hereditary foemen, we exult not so
much at the new triumph of scientific skill as at the
new confirmation of the fact, that by the ministration
of that skill

" Man now is knit to man in closer brotherhood,"

As a practical evidence of the humane agency:of
science in the present day, let any one repair on a
Sunday morning to the railway stations at the depar.
ture of the excursion trains. It is a sight not easily
to be forgotten, and one fraught with pleasure to the
true philanthropist. Hard-working men doomed to
toil on in the narrow streets of a crowded metropolis,
while those who require it far less exchange their airy
town mansions for the country seat, are now enabled,
for one day at least, to breathe the pure air and enjoy
the refreshing breezes. Crowds of children, ay, and
of old men too, now go with anxious delight to gaze
for the first time on " the sea "—the sea which, now
thanks to the inventions of science and the public spirit
of individuals, is brought within a short distance of
the metropolis, and within reach of the limited re-
sources of the poor man's purse. As a matter of
business, of course, these " excursion trains" must
prove remunerative to their jectors ; but, regarding
them on higher grounds, we are di•posed to consider
them as one of the greatest boons recently conferred
upon the community. Rightly to estimate the ad-
vantages, any one disposed to call them in question
must consider the circumstances of the majority of
those to whom they are available. To the
wealthy and privileged few, to whom travelling is now
a matter of course, because a matter of fashion,
a visit to Paris, or to Rome, or even a trip to Constan-
tinople, is hardly so much "an event" as to some
poor prisoners of London is a glimpse of that
ocean of which all Englishmen hear so much ! True,
%tea:ln-boats, and omnibuses, and the recent love of
locomotion, which happily, most happily, has ex-

THE

tended to the lowest ranks, have of late of a Sunday
thinned the public-houses, and crowded the parks and
fields in the neighbourhood of London. Now, however,
the beneficial agency has advanced another and a most
important step, and we may confidently anticipate
from the change a corresponding and beneficial alter-
ation in the health of the metropolis. Every summer
the hot weather sends myriads to the sea-side
for change of air, yet the very class that
necessarily remains behind is the very class that
most requires the change. To this class it is that
these cheap excursions are a very God-send, and,
calling this to mind, we repeat that science is become
a tutelary divinity to the hard-worked and closely-
confined multitude, who form the great majority and
are the strength and sinew of " the People." Consi-
dered under this aspect, every new invention is no
longer only a matter of individual interest to a few,
or gratifying only to the intellectual vanity of man.
Experience teaches us that the good of one and the
good of all are identical—a lesson repeatedly enforced
by the loving precepts of Revelation—a lesson which
every incident of history has continually corrobo-
rated, yet a lesson w hich mankind has been very slow
to learn. At the present day its truth is more than
ever evident, and that truth is at once a consolation
and a stimulus.

In addition to the other grave mistakes committed
by the authors of the Act of 1844, to which we have
already directed public attention, there is another
alluded to in the report of the Lords' Committee, to
which some of the witnesses attributed the pressure
on the Bank resources, and the subsequent panic in
1847, viz., the publication of the Bank accounts, in-
cluding the reserve of the notes in the banking de-
partment. The Governor of the Bank spoke strongly
on this point. He had felt its practical incon-
veniences ; he had seen the effect it had on the
public mind, and the alarm thereby occasioned when
the unemployed notes sunk below the usual amount
of 4,000,0001., and it became manifest that there was
a deficiency to be drawn in from the public, for which
" the screw" will probably be applied. The old pro-
verb bath it, " that a little learning is a dangerous
thing." Although we do not altogether acknowledge
the accuracy of that venerable apophthegm, it is un-
questionably correct in this instance. The directors
know perfectly well that there are certain seasons of
the year in which the reserve falls to the lowest, and
when by a regular law the tide is turned, and begins
to flow into the coffers of the establishment.
Being aware that the beneficial stream had set
" backward," they are perfectly easy in their minds.
But the public, those who watch the state of the
reserve, as affording the best index to the actual con-
dition of the Bank, know nothing of the improved
prospects. They see—they look to nothing but the
amount of notes unemployed ; and when that is un-
usually low considerable alarm is excited, which
speedily degenerates into wild panic, and a run upon
the Bank's resources, at the time when they should
be assisted as far as practicable. The Governor at-
tributed the danger which arose in 1847 to this
cause, an opinion in which Mr. TOOKF, whose
admirable work on prices attracted so much
attention, fully participated. Indeed, when it
it is considered that the avowed object of the
Act was to place the banking department on the
same footing as that of a private establishment, that
in that respect it was to be " untouched and unin-
terfered with," to manage its affairs according to its
own discretion, like any other banking concern, it is
difficult to understand why it should be bound to
publish its private affairs, and the amount of its bank-
ing reserve, any more than the other bankers with
whom it was placed in competition. The Governor,
who desires that the Act should be maintained with
as little alteration as possible, proposed that the
whole of the accounts should be published,
with the exception of the reserve ; but this
was most properly objected to by the Committee,
who clearly pointed out the objections to such a
course, which they considered " wholly inadmissible"
—for " such accounts must practically furnish the ele-
ments or data from which the amount of reserve may,
with a greater or less degree of accuracy, be deduced
or inferred. If the amount of reserve could thus be
accurately calculated, the proposed remedy would be
no corrective of the system complained of. If the
amount of reserve were to be inferred inaccurately,
such a proceeding would be an aggravation of
the inconvenience, rather than a safe or effectual re-
medy." It is impossible not to coincide with this
reasoning, or to dissent from the conclusion arrived at
by the Committee, " that it would appear more i❑
accordance with legislative wisdom to reconsider the
rule itself, against which there can hardly be stronger
presumptive evidence than the suggested necessity of
concealing the consequences to which it leads."
Having thus clearly pointed out the total failure of
the Act in attaining the objects contemplated by its
framers—having shown the injurious consequences of
many of its provisions, and their fatal effect on the
national prosperity, it might be supposed that the
Committee would strongly recommend its total
and unqualified repeal. In this respect, however,
they exhibit a strange delicacy in dealing with this
part of the subject. They state that " an attempt to
enforce by law, under all circumstances, one fixed and
inflexible rule for the management of a bank of issue,
seems inconsistent with the best written authorities*
with the general principles of economical science, as
well as with the testimony of many witnesses of
practical knowledge and experience ;" and add, "it
can hardly fail to be productive of most serious evils,
more especially when a continuation of issues, indis-
pensable in a state of adverse foreign exchanges, is
rendered imperative, as it is by the Act of
1144, under circumstances which may be wholly
opposite." They show the impolicy of leaving
" cases which may arise once in five or six years, or
even at periods more remote," to be dealt with by
" the irregular exercise of the mere authority of the
Crown and its advisers." In place, however, of the
total repeal of this most mischievous Act, they pro-
pose the introduction of "a discretionary relaxing
power, to be exercised only during the existence of a
favourable foreign exchange." As to the modes in
which "this relaxing power," which our readers will
recollect was urged so strongly by the metropolitan
bankers previous to the passing of the Act, may be ex-
ercised, three plans are suggested by which the object
might be attained, viz.—" a legalised authority
rested in the Government—in the Government and in

able breeze ? The knowledge of the fact that the
Bank had, for its own security, found it necessary, or
even expedient, to avail themselves of this power,
would excite an alarm and a panic more for-
midable than those of 1847, and which could not
perhaps so easily be alleviated. On the whole, we
think that there are few indeed who have gone with
us in our remarks on this report, of which, notwith-
standing its rather lame conclusion, we must still ex-
press our admiration, who will not agree with us in
saying that the Act of 1844 must be erased from the
national statute-book, of which it is a stain and blot.
Delenda est Carthago. In this respect no interme-
diate course, no compromise is practicable.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC,

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Republican and Legitimatist journals con-
sider the speech of the PRESIDENT at Cherbourg as a
U bid" for the empire, and comment upon it accord-
ingly. The Opinion Publique and the Assentblhe
Nationale call upon all the friends of order to rally
round the National Assembly should the PRESI-
DENT attempt to interfere with its privileges. As
the Assentblie Nationale is supposed to represent the
sentiments of General CRANGARNIER, the article in
that journal has more than ordinary significance.
The Republican journals, in commenting on this
speech, speak more in sorrow than in anger. The
&ids, in alluding to the expression of the PRESI-
DENT "If there is a town in France which ought
to be Napoleonienne it is Cherbourg," and to his
hints that the public works at Cherbourg could not
be finished " unless by their giving him the means
to accomplish them,' says
" We wish we could suppress the painful impression
wade upon us by these expression•, which imprudently
suggest dangerous and subversive theories from the
mouth of the chief magistrate of the Republic. We
must speak frankly. M. Louis Bonaparte, in provoking
political changes, that is to say revolutions, has forgotten
the high mission with which the people have invested
him, and which, above and beyond all is a mission of
order and of peace; he has forgotten the loyal words
pronounced by himself upon the day of his advent to
power. It is certainly afflicting to see compromising
friends push their seal and ignorance of what is passing
so far as to propose in their newspapers, or in the meet-
ings of a secret society the overthrow of the Republic
and the erection of an hereditary empire; yet, after all,
these anarchical aspirations are only important because
they are allowed to remain unnoticed by the public tri•
bunals. Bat that the chief of the executive power and
the znandataire of the nation should proclaim, with al-
most puerile perseverance, the pretension to change the
form of government; that he should, as it were, offer a
bargain, undertaking to terminate certain public works,
in exchange for a prolongation of powers, presents to
our eyes, we must say, a sad spectacle; and we would
willingly hope that, in the ardour of improvisation and
the momentary excitement of a banquet, and perhaps
also under the perfidious influence of courtiers and flat-
terers, M. Louis Bonaparte has allowed himself to be
hurried beyond his intention."
The incautious proceedings of the friends of the
PRESIDENT have greatly alarmed M. TRIERS and the
Burgraves.
The Corsaire announces that—

" M. Thiers is returning post haste from Germany,
to prevent being attempted the rash experiment which,
in a letter to a friend, he says he foresees will be made,
unless prevented by good advice."

These journals give some curious particulars relat-
ing to the Society of the 10th Decomber. It was
founded by General PIAT, and numbers 7,500 mem-
bers in Paris. M. ROMIEU, the ex-editor of the Ara-
potion, and the author of a work entitled " The Era
of the Caesars," in which he lauds the absolute go-
vernment of an emperor chosen by Praetorian Guards
as the best of all possible governments, is the chief.
It is divided into 300 brigades of 25 men each, who
receive 15 francs a month when not on active duty,
but when they attend to escort or cheer the PRESIDENT
throuE.,,h the streets or to get up a cry of " Vire Na-
po/ion," or "Vine l'Empereur," they receive a franc
and a half a day. The source from which this money
is derived is unknown.

The PRESIDENT attended mass on board the flag-
ship at Cherbourg on Sunday, after which the ships
were exercised. He dined on board the Friedland,
and entertained at dinner the following English naval
officers :—Admiral Sir C. J. anmanney, K.C.8.,
Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, K.C.8., Rear-
Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K.C.8., and Rear-Ad-
miral Sir Edmund Lyons, G.C.8.; Captain Chads,
C.B , Captain Michael Seymour, Captain W. H.
Hall, and Captain Rodney Mundy.
The PRESIDENT was presented with a gold medal,
signifying his election as an honorary member of the
Royal Western Yacht Club.
The greater number of the English vessels left
Cherbourg on Sunday night.
The .111oniteur publishes the following telegraphic
dispatch :

" CHERBOURG, SEPT. 6,
" lIALF-PAST SEVEN IN THE MORNING.

" Yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, the President
visited the arsenal, and inquired minutely into the
amount of works which still remain to be executed in
order to terminate the port.
. . _

" At twelve o'clock lie went on board the Friedland.
All the vessels were dressed out with figs; they saluted
the President as he passed with all their artillery.
Everywhere an immense crowd encumbered the quays,
and witnessed this magnificent spectacle. Afar having
successively visited several vessels, the President went
on the mole, the gigantic works of which filled him with
admiration. He afterwards went on board the Minerve,
where is established the gunners' school, and witnessed
some ball-finng at a mark.
"In the evening they offered a ball in me of the
large rooms of the arsenal, which was decorated with
remarkable taste. Several thousand persons were pre-
sent.

" Everywhere, at the arsenal, on board the fleet, on the
mole, at the ball, the President was saluted with unani-
mous and most warm acclamations."

M. DE PERSIGNT has gone to join the PRESIDENT
at Cherbourg.
M. DE LAROCHEIACqIIELIN has written a letter to
the editor of the Ordre, to say that it is not true that
he was badly received by the Count DE CHAMBORD at
Wiesbaden, or that he requested the Prince to blame
the line of policy of the majority of the Legitimatists in
the Assembly. He adds, that it was not he, but
others who spoke of the necessity of the party taking
a new and more independent attitude. He declares
that the Legitimatists will give proof that they have
resolved so to do.

The Ordre says—" The most devoted servants of
the Orleans family have been for some days past in
consternation. It appears that the health of the
Queen of the Belgians causes great disquietude. It
is said that she has had an affection of the chest,
which is so grave as to require the greatest care. It
is not even impossible that the ex-Queen of the
FRENCH will visit Ostend to give maternal attention
to her daughter. . . _

Accounts from Toulon state that letters received
from the province of Constantine announce the de-
cline of cholera in that place.

The steam corvette Vidoce left Toulon on the sth
for Civita Vecchia with the mails and a number
of military passengers. A detachment that had
been under orders to embark on board the V6loce
for the army of occupation of Rome has been counter-
manded. It was thought likely that that army
would be still further diminished. The steamer
liclaireur had returned from Tunis, and reports the
disappearance of the cholera there. The steam•cor-
vette Le Roland, recently built, was launched at
Toulon on the stb.
The Council-General of the Seine-et •Marne has

the Bank conjointly, or in the Bank of England
alone. The Committee greatly prefer the latter al-
ternative. They show the danger of leaving the
power exclusively in the Government, which is
" liable to be influenced by political rather than eco-
nomical considerations;" and add, " it is to be appre-
hended that the exercise of an undefined and extra-
ordinary power would depend too much on the per-
sonal character or position of the Minister for the
time being." They had manifestly an eye to
the Exchequer when penning this passage.
What possible use could there be in leaving
such a power in the hands of Sir CHARLES WOOD,
who, up to the 20th of October, 1847, could not dis-
cover that there was any pressure whatsoever on the
commercial interests, or any difficulty in obtaining
cash advances on suitable securities ? It would be
but a further mockery to place the remedy in the
hands
of such a man, who would not administer it
until the patient had expired. Considering' there-
