MONEY SHOULD INCREASE WITH THE

WEALTH OF A NATION.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
SlR,—Any question seems to have an interest for the
people of this country except the grand and vital one,—
" What is money, and what are the true principles upon
which the instrument of exchange should be issued ?"
If money should come into existence as fast as wealth is
created, does not a gold money, which cannot increase,
account for that stagnation of trade, or stoppage of pro-
duction, which is the great complaint of the times ?
The problem that we must solve, if we wish not to be
eaten up by poor-rates and criminal expenses, is—
" Wanted a money that shall increase with production,
and be cancelled pari panu with consumption." _

COURT AND FASHION.
Her Majesty, the Royal Family, and the Court, still
remain at Osborne House, in the Isle of Wight, and
during the week the Queen, the Prince-Consort, and the
junior members of the Royal Family, have taken tl eir
accustomed out-door exercise in the grounds and on the
beach. Siz Itabert and Lady Peel were on a visit to her
Majesty for several days.
THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO IRELAND.—The preparations
for the reception of the Queen in Dublin are proceeding
vigorouiy. Triumphal arches are to be erected in Bagot-
street and Nassau-street. A procession has been arranged,
and those who form it will wear scarfs of sky blue and pink,
the blue to distinguish the citizen, the pink to be worn by
the inhabitants of the county of Dublin who will join in
the respectful demonstrations. As the Queen will not
prorogue parliament in person, she will embark on Thurs-
day, the 2d of August. The stay at Cork is not to exceed
twenty• four hours ; and from thence they proceed direct
to Dublin. It is probable that the royal squadron will
enter Kingstown harbour on the 7th of August. The
Dublin Evening Post of Saturday says, " We have autho-
rity to announce that the levee and drawing-room will be
held in the course of the week beginning with the sth of
August, and that notice will be given of the days as soon
as it is possible to fix them to a certainty. We are fur-
ther authorized to state, for the information of ladies and
gentlemen who propose to pay their respects to our gracious
Sovereign on those occasions, that, as the Queen can have
but one rule for her court, wherever it is held, the presen-
tations in Dublin will be regulated by exactly the same
rules as in London : namely, that no person can be pre-
sented except by some one who has personally been him-
self or herself presented to the Queen. Ladies, of course,
by ladies, and gentlemen by gentlemen ; and the names
must be sent in three days previously to the Lord Cham-
berlain, (the Marquis of Breadalbane,) at Dublin Castle."
Her majesty has signified that she will visit Glasgow on
her way from Ireland to Balmoral.
HEATON PARK.—Her Royal Highness the Duchess of
Cambridge is expected to visit the Earl of Wilton, at
Heaton Park, in September next. A numerous party of
noble and distinguished guests will assemble at the man-
sion of the noble earl to meet the illustrious visitor.

MARRIAGE OF LOLA MONTES.—This extraordinary
lady, whose connection with the late events in Bavaria
will be fresh in the recollection of our readers was married
on Thursday to G. Stafford Heald, Esq., of the 2nd Life
Guards. The ceremony took place first at the French
Catholic chapel, in King-street, Portm n-square, and
afterwards at St. George's Church, Hanover-square.
Mr. Heald is a very young man, not having long attained
his majority. He is, we believe, related to Mr. Heald,
M.P. for Stockport, and possessed of a very large fortune.
His income is stated N be about 414,090 per annum.
