THE 1117 W,, Loxpow, TITESDAY gityING,_ArGrIT

Mr. B. BARING, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, Mr. WARBURTON,
Mr. B. ESCOTT, Mr. ASTELL, Lord CLIVE, and Mr.
'flitisTp,;. We understand that all the resolutions were
p4-bed by uo
,j,,r:ties of six to two, or seven to Om', the
minority being generally composed of Mr. WARBURToN
and Mr. ESCOTT, and sometimes Mr. WARBURTON alone.
We understand that some light was thrown, in the
course of the inquiry, on the character of the sub-
scription-list of the Cambridge and Lincoln Company,
the aggressive parties. Not only had Mr. BRUCE, the
petitioner, signed his place of business in the City, as
his place of abode, in the Cambridge and Lincoln list
—a proceeding which he charges as false and fictitious
against many of the subscribers of the London and
York Company—but Mr. THOMAS HAWKINS, one of the
London and York subscribers, who is charged with being
utterly irresponsible, was discovered to be a shareholder
of the Cambridge and Lincoln Company ; and a ficti-
tious address, 14, Darlington place, charged in Mr.
BRUCE'S petition, was found also to occur in the Cam-
bridge and Lincoln. Mr. SHACKELL. the Charter-
House pensioner, was found to be as large a subscriber
to the Direct Northern as to the London and York.

The article which we reprinted from the Sentinel in
our paper of Saturday, has a scope of incidental applica-
tion about it which reaches far beyond the latitude of
Quebec—although for that meridian it was especially
calculated. The reasoning so powerfully enforced to
demonstrate the possibility of re-establishing a half-
destroyed city without gold, is at least equally cogent to
show how the most flourishing of cities may be ruined
by gold. Indeed, the preponderance of evidence and
argument is now so overwhelming to prove the cardinal
error and incalculable mischief of the monetary system,
established by the Bill of 1819, that Sir ROBERT PEEL
himself, were he unbiassed by considerations of the most
direct personal interest in now upholding, as he then
aas in propounding it, would honestly, and with the
frankness of an English gentleman, acknowledge and
deplore, publicly, the ruinous results it has entailed upon
his country. We ourselves heard his excellent father
declare in Parliament his misgivings that the tenacity
with which his son, the present Premier, forced threugh
the Legislature the statutable recognition and establish-
ment of his gold standard of value at the then, and
thenceforward, Mint price of that metal, would be
attributed by the world at large to interested motives.
The venerable Baronet declared at the same time that
he himself absolutely exonerated the Right Hon. Secre-
tary of that day from any such imputation. All our
respect for the first Sir ROBERT—aII our concurrence
in his expressions of natural astonishment and remon-
strance that the best and m st practical authorities
among the Directors of the Bank of England, and the
more eminent of the London merchants, had not been
even examined by the Committee which reported the
currency resolutions afterwards moved by his son—can-
not and never could lead us to the same verdict of ac •
quittal which parental kindness so readily returned at
the time. But all that we desire to say at any time on
the vital subject regards the measure, not the man. It
was a measure with this:original sin indelibly stamped
upon its enactment from the first to the last ; namely,
that it was a stupendous boon to all realised money
capital, at a most iniquitous cost to all productive industry,
in England. It has not dimittished the National Debt-
It has largely diminished to the vast majority of those
who pay the bulk of the interest on that debt the means
of paying their contributions to that payment. It has
not made bread cheap. It has lowered wages. It has
not improved prices. It has multiplied production. The
p-ices of commodities not vastly over-excised, or over-
taxed have greatly fallen. The pewer of consumption has
declined in a still greater ratio. The burden of taxation
has been shifted rather than removed. How shifted?
In a manner the precise converse of that which would
have followed under the old monetary system that was
superseded by the legislation of 1819, and is now
under process of extinction by the destructive " com-
plement." of 1844 That is to say, that whereas be-
tween 1797 and 1819 taxes were professedly designed
and carefully adapted to be borne by the competent or
the rich consumer; ever since the prices of commodities
were determined by their natural or gold standard—
, irrespectively of the element of taxation entering into
their production—more than one-half of the whole taxa-
tion (especially on excisable articles) annually raised to
defray the interest of the debt and the charge of the i,ublic
services, is [erie by the industrial community whose
labour is the first source of our sustained production,
under the grievously enhanced disability of deteriorated
wages. In a word, it would be ridiculous to require of
Sir ROBERT PEEL, and those who have been deluded into
the support of his current.), views, to make out any affir-
mative plea in their favour. The only issue that .au be
raised upon them is a negative one ; and a fearful re
sponsibility is his, after deranging the whole circulation
of the country, violating contracts, enharcing debts,
mortgages, and liabilities, displacing settlements, and
convulsing private credit and public confidence through
out the length and bresdth of the land ; a fearful respore
:Ability is his, for what his boasted panacea has nut done.
His nostrum—his awam pctibile—whieh he insisted or,
forcing down the threat of the country (his unhappy
patient), has proved a metallic belladonna. The Con-
stitution, which he was pleased to pronounce somewhat
too elastic and vivacious, his fatal sedatives have already
affUcted with incipient paralysis.
Is there any thing like an encouraging feature about
the present relations of the country to the prospects of
the approaching harvest, and the operation of the esta-
blished standard of currency in gold at the Mint—not at
the market price ?
We shall be too happy, too sincerely rejoiced, to find
that the present superabundance of wet and uncertain
weather gives place to a few weeks of a warm, settled.
and bright season, sufficient for getting in the cereal
crops that have for soma time past stood so much it.
need of that genial encouragement. But what if the
present weather continue long enough to make our home
hat vest a failure as to quality or quantity—both or
either ? We must import wheat from abroad. A few
millions of quarters of foreign grain must be paid for in
' a few millions of gold stAreteigns ; for nothing is more
certain, than that thw foreign grower or shipper will not
!sle- your manufactu.es in return for his corn by choice.
If the market pr ce of geld at Bremen, at Hamburgh, at
Datazie, be, as it has been for some time past, dearer
than the Act of Parliament price in London, it is clear
he c-tn da nothing better than real'se his sales in golds
In re : and gold he will have. What is to supply the
place of the gold which will flow out of the country, as
the foreign corn flows in ? The coffers of the Bank of
England ? Why, their Weekly Return, of Saturday
last, shows, in round numbers, a stock, less by more
than a million than it was a week or so before.
Every 1001 which oozes through the doors of their
ballion cellars in payment of demands on account of
corn purchases, may provoke home demand of twice
the amount, from caprice, fear, fancy, or speculation.
The sapient scheme which fixes the Mint or legal tender
value of gold at a specific rate, leaves everybody at full
liberty to draw it out of the Batik in payment of their
own paper, and carry it into the market next dour fer
sale at 20, 40, 1011 per cent. premium. as it may happ. u.

the heels of a metallic scarcity;—the day of atonement—
that is the day of settling —for railway and joint stock
gambling operations may coma upon us " like a thief in
the dark"—mercantile credit, public confidence, all
money transactions, determinable contracts, liabilities of
every kind, may be precipitated, convulsed, over-
whelmed. Legidmate trading and fraudulent specula-
tion may be swallowed up in the same common ruin of
reel capital and its unreal representative. Enterprise
may be permanently crippled—credit annihilated—secu-
rities reduced to the value of the paper or the parchment
on which they have been engrossed. The horrors of
1825 way be re-enacted. Our commercial pre-eminence
may be tumbled down in headlong ruin, like some bright
planet suddenly dashed from its orbit and extinguished—
and in spite of all this, we can imagine Sir ROBERT at
tempting once more to ridicule the authority of Mr.
ALISON, and perpetrate those sorry failures which, in
the pseudo-currency of his own Tamworth mint, pass for
jukes—on the apprehensions of such practical authorities
as Mr. SPOONER Or Mr. ATTWOOD !

Swiss papers of a late (Jute have arrived. 'I he Jesuit
question was discussed in the Diet at Zurich on the 4th
and sth. On the sth, a division took place, the result of
which is, that the question remains in statu quo, neither
party having obtained the required majority of twelve.

The votes were given in the following manner :
I. Not to enter at present on the question, or, in other words,
the order of the day—Uri, Unterwald, Zug, Valais, Neufcha-
tel, Appenaell (Inner). Bale city, Friburg, Schwitz, Lucerne
(eight whole States and two half ones).
2. To consider the affair as federal—Berne, Soleure, Schaff-
hausen, Argau, Tessino, Vaud, Thurgau, Orisons. Appenzell
(Outer), Bale-eountr), Glaris, Zurich (ten whole States and
two half one.).

3. To call on Lucerne amicably, looking at its directorial
position, not to proceed with invitation to the Jesuits-
-Geneva, Tessino (two States), Grisons not voting for or
against it.
4. To call on the States harbouring the Jesuits (Friburg,
Valais, and Schwitz), to send them away :—Thu:gau, Grisons,
Appenzell (Outer), (two whole States and a half one), Zurich,
Schaffhausen, Hans, and Tessino not voting either way.
5. To summon Lucerne to renounce calling in the Jesuits :
—Berne, Tessino, Thurgau, Grisons, Appenzell (Outer),
Glaris, Zurich (six whole States and one half one), Vaud,
Schaff hau-en, Soleure, and Argau not voting either way.
6. Expulsion of the Jesuits from the whole of Switzerland :
—The same ten States and two half ones, named above, declare
the question to be federal.
7. Expulsion of the Jesuits by every means:—Berne,
leure, Schaffhausen, Argau, Thurgau, Grisons, Appenzell

(Outer), Hale country (six whole States and two half ones),
Zurich, and Glaris not voting either way.
8. To interdict for the future the introduction of the Jesuits
into a Swi-s canton :—The same ten States and two half ones
which cu: sidered the question as federal.

We have rsceived the: Paris papers of Friday and
Saturday.
The visit of Queen VICTORIA to the King of
PRUSSIA, on the banks of the Rhine, appears to be ex-
citing great attention amongst Frerch politicians.
" All the members of the corps diplornatique of Frank-
furt," says La France, " are at their post, in order to
attend the princely and political meetings about to take
place on the banks of the Rhine. M. BuLow, Minister
for Foreign Affairs of Prussia, has arrived at Coblentz,
and repeatediy transacted business with the King of
PRUSSIA at the Chateaux of Stolzenfels and Coblentz.
Prince METTERNICII has already had a long conference
with King FREDERICK WILLIAM IV. The chateau of
Stolzenfels, not being sufficiently capacious to accommo-
date the great number of distinguished personages expected
there, apartments have been engaged in the neighbour-
hood. The Prince of PRUSSIA, the heir to the Crown,
who, in every important circumstance is consulted by
his brother, the reignSng King, has established his re-
sidence within a short distance of the royal chateau.
In the conferences which are to be held there, a final
decision will be adopted with regard to the Spanish
question, and all those who flatter themselves that
Austria will entertain a different view of the question
from that taken by Prussia will be sadly disappointad.
The Archduke FREDERICK of Austria has left Vienna
for Coburg, to compliment QUEEN VICTORIA on her ar-
rival. The sojourn of her MAJESTY in the Chateau of
Stolzenfels will not extend beyond three days, and she will
afterwards make excursions in the neighbourhood. It is
not true that the Marquis of J)ALMATIA, Minister of
France, is to repair from Berlin to the banks of the
Rhine, since that diplomatist is now on leave of absence
and is replaced in the Prussian capital by M. HERMANN,
the Secretary of Legation. M. GUIZOT was desirous of
an interview with the King of PRUSSIA, to adjust, in a
sort of Congress, the Spanish and Swiss questions. Lord
ABERDEEN, who is a partisan of the cordial understand.
ing with France, was expected to support the views of
M. GUIZOT. But the overtures made in London and
Vienna have proved unavailable. Lord ABERDEEN re
plied, that the journey of Queen VICTORIA was a journey
of pleasure, and the English Minister fur Foreign Affairs
entered into no other explanation with regard to his own
voyage twerermany. Prince METTERNICH, on his side,
rejected the overtures made to him, in the absence of
Count FLAIIAULT, by a French diplomatist sent on a
special mission to Vienna."
In the Journal des Debats of Saturday appears a long
article seriously refuting an insinuation made by the
Nationa', that the fire at Toulon was the work of per-
tide Albion. The charge made by the National is
simply absurd, and M. LE HEDACTEUR must have laughed
heartily as he penned the paragraph, which can be re-
garded in no other light than as an experiment upon
the credulity of the quid nuncs of the cafés.
It appears that nothing certain as to the origin of the
fire has as yet been elicited by the inquiries which have
been instituted.
The loulonnais of the sth inst says :

" That a galley-slave who was heard to say some days ago
that the alma' ac of the Bagne predicted the appi.arance of a
comet which would shortly illumine Toulon, had been arrested
and placed in solitary confinement."
The National has another to quoque article in reply
to the comments of the English press on the massacre
at Dahra.

The Duke and Duchess DE NEMOURS and the Duke
D'AUMALE visited the principal public institutions in
Bordeaux on the 7th, and in the evening went to the
theatre. They were received ever)where with the
greatest enthusiasm.
The Coast it utionnf says:—

" The news of the intended arrival in France of an envoy
from Morocco is confirmed. It appears that the choice of the
Emperor has fallen on Sidi-Ben-Arac, Governor of Fez, one
of the mcst distinguished men of the empire, and who has
always been opposed to war with the French. He will, it is
slid, bear the title and functions of Extraordinary Ambassador,
and visit France, as did some years back the envoys of the Shah
of Persia and of Abd-el-Kader, and return immediately after-
wards to the Emperor to renderhim an account of his journey."
This paper also states that the question of the dis-
solution of the Chamber of Deputies had been discussed
in the Cabinet, and that it bad been determined to post-
pone it for tie present.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From rite Sun of Last Night.)
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were 5,000
bales, including 500 on speculation. There was no change in
prices.—Shares were steady, aita prices much the same.
In the absence of any intOrmatiw, of peculiar interest'
from the colonies, or from elsewhere, we may remark briefly
upon the general state of the Railway Share Markets in this
country as well as on the continent. The general feeling is
that speculation has been carried up to too high a point.
The dealings at Paris, at Frankfort-on. the-Maine, at Brus-
sels, and at Vienna, have of late been much reduced ;
parties in those cities connected with speculations having
become somewhat frightened at the extent to which time
bargains have been carried on. At the same time it must be
observed, that in what may be considered the best lines of
railway, a strong desire is shown to purchase. It is much to
be regretted that in some of our own provincial towns the
rage for speculation has not been diminished. Indeed, at
Leeds, according to a private letter received to-day, there is
every reason to believe that a system something like repudi
ation will take place—a rig equal to the pearl and coral of
1825.26 having been perpetrated there.
As no doubt but few of our readers remember this notable
scheme, it may be simply thus described. A company was
started in the years stated, the Directors of which com-
plied with the applications for shares written by respect-
able people—they issued but a certain number, and then
through agents purchases were made, and those who were
Bears had to pay a considerable per centage to obtain the
means of delivering the shares.
There are some accounts from the Cape of Good Hope to-
day, but we do not find any late news of interest in them.
The Grain Markets this morning are in a most feverish
state, but the prices are on the whole rather lower. The
farmers are pressing forward their stock on hand, as, notwith-
standing the state of the weather, the barometer is rising,
and that too very steadily.
The Consol Market i.; pretty steady at 99% for Money,
anti for the Account at 99. Reduced Annuities have been sold
at 991 5,4 ; and the New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. at
102% N. The premium upon Exchequer-bias is 51s. and
495. South Sea Stock has fallen from 113 to 112.
The prices of the Foreign Bonds have improved to-day.
The Dutch Four per Cents. have touched par; the Spanish
Actives, 2714 ; the Three per Cents., 381/4 ; and the Portu-
guese Converted, 64% %.
The Share Market is extremely firm to-day. A steady
demand for investment is .apparent.

KIRKCUDBRIGHTSHIRE ELECTION.—The nomina-
tion is fixed for Friday the 15th curt. As yet no candidate
has appeared to contest the election with Mr. Maxwell.—.
Scotsman.

----------
On Sunday a curious circumstance occurred in
the parish church of St. Mary-le-Strand, near Somerset
House. At the usual hour (six o'clock) the bell rang for
Divine service, and the congregation assembled accordingly.
Half-past six came, but no divine made his appearance. The
congregation was thus kept in a state of suspense till a quarter
to seven o'clock, when Mr. Price, the clerk, came forward, and
stated that there being no minister, no Divine service would be
performed that evening, and the assembled persons took their
departure.

.LEITH.—STRANGE OCCURRENCE.—On Thursday
afternoon, about four o'clock, two gentlemen, in passing Ann-
field, observed a young man undressing at the bulwarks east
of Newhaven, as if for the purpose of sea-bathing. Having
thrown off his bonnet, jacket, and shoes, he ran into the sea
with the rest of his clothes on, like a person determined un
committing suicide. He struggled for a few minutes in the
water, and then altogether disappeared. As none of the gen-
tlemen could swim, they insiantly gave the alarm, and in the
course of a short time a boat, with four seamen, proceeded to
the spot, and succeeded, by means of grappling irons, in
raising the body tut of the water. It was immediately taken
to the rooms of the Humane Society, where every means
were used to restore animation, but without effect. The de-
ceased appeared to have been a sailor, and seemed about
twenty-four years of age. He was dressed in a fur bonnet, a
blue jacket, and a brown vest. He was fair co.nplexioned,
with fins features, and auburn hair. There was a watch in
his pocket, which, from a paper inside, appeared to have been
repaired by Mr. Morriom, Alloa, on the tenth of July. We
mention these things in the hope that they may lead to his
identification.— Scotsman.
