Downing-street, November 10, 1542.
On comparing the above return with the previous returns
in Cctoher, we find the following differences :—There is a de-
crease on the circulation of £lOl,OOO, a decrease on deposits
of £296,000, and a 'decrease on securities of £639,000, whilst
the bullion has increased £156,000. These figures show
rather a material contraction of the currency, so far as the
administration of the Bank of England is concerned, by the
reduction of her securities to the extent of £639,000, which
must have taken so much money out of the market. This
fact is further confirmed by the state of her deposit accounts,
which have been drawn upon to the extent of £760,000 in the
last two months.

A very tasteful presentation to Sir Moses Montefiore, from
the resident Jews of Frankfort, has just been made to that
gentleman, for his exertions in behalf of his brethren during
the late eastern mission. The memorial is a very neat and
elegant cup. It stands abouta foot in height, and is of frosted
silver, many portions being gilt. A nearly cylindrical vase,
with Gothic ornaments, is supported on the head of a mailed
knight, whose only weapon is the torch of truth. His shield
bears for a motto the German words, Licht, Liebe (Light,
Love.) He is represented as trampling on a dragon, which
forms the base ; round which is an appropriate verse in the
Hebrew character from the 13th verse of the 91st Psalm. On
the cover of the cup is the figure of an angel breaking some
fetters. On the side is recorded the circumstances which led
to the presentation.
THE MARQUESS OF WATERFORD.—An interesting anec-
dote is related of the Marquess of Waterford, by one of the
Limerick newspapers. Early last hunting season, says. our
contemporary, the day having been exceedingly wet, the no-
ble Marquess -topped at the Fethard Hotel to change clothes
which had been left there in the morning, and placed at the
fire between those of two friends of his lordship. The pro-
prietor of the hotel met the Marquess with a melancholy face,
and said—" My Lord, a serious accident has occurred—your
Lordship's clothes have been burned to ashes, and your
friends' clothes, that were on each side, were not even
scorched." " Well," said the Marquess, " the children have
not been burned, nor the house ?" " No, my Lord."
" Would you charge them to me if they had ?" " No, my
Lord." " Well, then, neither will I charge you for the
clothes."
SALE OF THE EARL OF CHESTERFIELD'S STOCK.—
Another large draught from the noble earl's racing and hunt-
ing stock took place, on Monday, at Tattersall's, and at-
tracted a numerous attendance of noblemen and gentlemen
connected with the turf. His lordship's celebrated racehorse
the Knight of the Whistle, by Velocipede, was sold for 95
guineas; Barbarina, 195 guineas; Van Puff, a hack, regu-
larly driven by his lordship at Newmarket, 90 guineas;
Cockade, a hunter, 100 guineas ; Claude Duval, the earl's
well-known steeple-chaser, 130 guineas; White Stockings,
his lordship's cab-horse, 140 guineas ; Sheffield, 165 gui-
neas ; Fire King, a hunter, 77 guineas ; beside which Amy,
Amy Robsart, Pioneer, and a number of chestnut, black, and
brown ponies were brought to the hammer. The earl, ac-
companied by some fashionable friends, was present during
part of the sale.
FURTHER JOINT-STOCK BANK MALPRACTICES.—The
Morning Herald of Saturday, thus concludes an article on
the late exposures connected :with the Bank of Manchester :
" At this very moment of writing it happens somewhat sin-
gularly that a notice of exposure of similar malpractices as
alleged of another joint-stock bank has reached our hands ;
of a bank certainly of much less consequence and pretensions
than the Bank of Manchester. Far from inimical to the con-
stitution of joint-stock banking as we may be, it is impossi-
ble to close eyes and ears to its abuses, which indeed are
more repulsive to none than the respectable joint-stock banks
themselves. There may he—there will be, on a day not per-
haps distant, one or more fearful accounts to be rendered of
joint-stock banking malpractices of as deep a dye—deeper
still, if possible, if information may be credited—as those
which have disgraced the Bank of Manchester. Therefore
it is the more imperative in the public interest that a striking
example be made of the special directorial mismanagement
and malpractices of the Lancashire bank in hand."

SAFETY OF MINERS.—In the rich mine of Tresa man, in
Cornwall, an ingenious mode (a model of which we recollect
being exhibited when the British Association met in Bristol
in 1836) is about to be adopted for enabling miners to go
down into and return from the mine, without the danger
and fatigue inseparable from the old method. " Greater
physical exhaustion (says the Cornwall Gazette) can scarce
be conceived than is presented by a miner when he reaches
the surface from the lower levels of a deep mine, when, after
toiling for six hours in heat, and wet, and bad air, and per-
haps also in a confined situation which scarcely allowed him
the free use of his limbs. he has clambered up a quarter of a
mile or more of perpendicular ladders. Flushed, panting,
reeking with perspiration, the pulse throbbing, the heart la-
bouring, the most careless observer may see that such exces-
sive efforts, taxing the vital organs, the lungs, and the heart
so severely, must tend to disease, to premature decay, and to
death. The fatal results we know." A successful trial of
the new machinery was made on Saturday week, at a shaft
140 fathoms (840) feet deep ; the invention will be com-
pleted to the depth of 248 fathoms (1,488 feet) about Mid-
summer next. The following are the numbers of labourers
4.0.- 0..007.a., Tr.Qavean "Ott.
boys, 16 ; surface men, 133 ; boys, 122; girls, 419 : total,
1,226.

AN AERIAL STEAM CARRIAGE.—This is the name which
has been given to a new machine, for which a company has
taken out a patent, and which is to convey passengers, goods,
and dispatches through the air, performing the journey from
London to India in four days ! and to travel at the rate of
from 75 to 100 miles per hour. At the first glance of such
an announcement our readers will doubtless feel disposed to
treat it as some chimerical absurdity, written merely to excite
wonder, and expressly for the marvel-loving mass of society;
but the facts connected with the subject are of a kind to di-
minish disbelief, at least as to the truth of such a contrivance
being in process of formation. A company of gentlemen is
really formed, even of mechanical men ; the patent was
formally sealed on the 29th of September last, and systematic

rrangements are in progress to complete the design. In
such an age of improvement we really have no right or pre-
cedent to deny the possibility of this measure. In January
the machine will be thoroughly organised, and until then we
take leave of the subject, and only trust that this alleged in-
vention is neither exaggerated, nor an Utopian project ; and
from the conversation we have had with those in connection
with the design, we have every reason to believe that neither
is the case.—Atlas.

BANKRUPTS : THE ARMY OF MARTYRS.—It is estimated
that about 25,000 persons, throughout the Union, have
already applied for the benefit of the bankrupt law, of which
nearly one-fourth is in New York. The smallest quantity
is probably in New England, except in Maine. The following
is a part of a list :
Maine
New Hampshire.... to September 1
Kentucky
Connecticut
Ohio
New York
The assets of this army of martyrs probably amount to from
200,000 dollars to 500,000 dollars ; expenses of getting certi-
ficates over 1,300,000 dollars. [How this comes we know
not.] Debts got rid of at the lowest legal estimate of 200
dollars each, 50,000,000, but most likely equal to 200,000,000
dollars. This amount of private repudiation, already in pro-
cess, is equal to the aggregate debts of all the States, and
twice as much as the amount of State repudiation. The dis-
honour of individuals is, therefore, double the disgrace of the
States.—New York Herald.
RAILWAY TRAFFIC AND DISPATCH.—On Monday last,
being the statutes' fair for hiring of servants at Rotherharn,
there were booked and safely conveyed, 7,801 passengers on
the Sheffield and Rotherham Railway, being the largest
number of any statutes' day since the opening of the line.
During the middle part of the day, and in the evening, the
trains were dispatched each way every half hour. A new
turntable which has been recently placed at the Sheffield
terminus, added very much to the ease and expedition with
which the trains were reversed, in a manner similar to that
which has been the practice at Rotherham for more than
twelve months. The engines and tenders were .turned by
two men, without uncoupling them, in about half a minute ;
two carriages or coaches were turned at once, and from what
we saw of the machine it bids fair to become a general
favourite, not only with the men wife formerly had to unscrew
the dirty joints of the hose, and now have 'not occasion to
wet their fingers, but also with the directors, who value its
importance both for diminution of labour and saving of time.
There were 53 passenger trains in and 'out during the day,
and the distance run by the carriages was equal to one
carriage running 2,784 miles.
MURDER BY AN INSANE MOTHER.-0,1 the 4th instant,
in the evening, some female neighbours went into the house
of Thomas Press, Halton's-yard, Stockton labourer, and
were shocked to behold his wife and thiee children, lying in
bed, apparently dead. Mr. Trotter, surgeon, was instantly
called in. He found one of the children, a boy of three years
old, quite dead. The eldest child, a girl,'aged nine years,
and the youngest, a female infant of tWeive months, were
still living, and also the mothet. The stomach-pomp was
applied, 'Mr. Trotter having concluded that laudanum had
been administered; and the medical aid having been afforded
through the whole of the night, the mother and her girls were
placed in a state of safety. On Saturday,
enatedM(rm. Benja-
min Mr. Halton 's_,
the William the IV. inn, a jury w
min Murray, foreman) ; and evidence was, given, showing
that Mrs. Press had been in a " strange was ' for some time.
Whenever she saw her husband talking to a neighbour, or
any of her neighbours talking to each other, she fancied her-
self the subject of conversation. In the afternoon of the 4th
instant, she purchased sixpence-worth of laudanum, and
mixed it with rum. She then divided the draught amongst
herself and children, saying to them, " We'll go to heaven
together." The jury brought in a verdict to the effect that
the woman had destroyed her son in a fit of insanity. During
the progress of the investigation, she made a second attempt
on her life, by hanging herself in her bed-room.
MURDER.—On Sunday evening last two young men, named
James and Thomas Scamell, went to the 'Rising Sun beer-
house, on the Boreham-road, near Warminster, accompanied
by three young women of Bishopstone. Shortly afterwards
two young men, named John Jeffries and Stephen Paine,
came to the house, where they remained together till about
half-past nine, when Jeffries and Paine left. The other party
quitted in about a quarter of an hour, and proceeded towards
Boreham. James Scamell and two of the girls were a little
in advance of Thomas and the other girl. Thomas soon heard
loud talking, and James called him to come on. On coming
up, he met James and the two girls returning towards War-
minster, Jeffries and Paine following them. Jeffries offered
to fight J. Scamell, and took bold of him, when they had a
struggle, and both fell. Thomas said there should be no
fightiog, and the men stood about two yards apart for a se-
cond or two, when John Jeffries, without saying a word,
made an underhand thrust at James Scamell, and immedi-
ately stept back. Scamell exclaimed, "I am kicked," and
one of the girls ran to him and caught him round the waist ;
he dropped his head on her shoulder, and looking down and
seeing blood, cried, " Lord have mercy upon me, I am a
dead man," and expired in the girl's arms. John Jeffries
then came up to the girl, and said, " you, I will serve
you the same," and struck her a violent blow on her head,
which knocked her backwards ; he then ran away. An in-
quest has been held, and a verdict of Wilful murder" against
John Jeffries returned, who has been apprehended and fully
committed.—Devizes Gazette.

THE TOILS OF A NEWSP.A.PER.—Newspaper literature is
a link in the great chain of miracles which proves the great-
ness of England, and every support should be given to news-
papers. The editors of these papers must have a most oner-
ous task. It is not the writing of the leading article itself,
but the obligation to write that article every week, whether
inclined or not, in sickness or in health,in affliction, distress
of mind, winter and summer, year after year, tied down to
one task, remaining in one spot. It is something like walk-
inn. b a thousand miles in a thousand hours. I have a fellow-
feeling for them, for I know how a periodical will wear down
one's existence. In itself it appears nothing—the labour ;s
not manifest ; nor is it the labour—it is the continual atten-
tion which it requires. Your life becomes, as it were, the
publication. One week is no sooner corrected and printed,
than on comes the other. It is the stone of Sisyphus—an
endless repitition of toil, a constant weight upon the mind—
a continued wearing upon the intellect and spirits demanding
all the exertions of your f iculties, at the same time that you
are compelled to do the severest drudgery. Ta write for a
paper is very well, but to edit one is to condemn yourself to
slavery.—Captain Marryat.
THE OPIUM QUESTION.—The opium of the Chinese
market is procured solely from our Anglo-Indian posses-
sions, the Patria and Benares from the corresponding dis-
tricts of that name in Bengal, and the Malua from Bombay.
The two former are exported in small cakes, the latter in
balls, each about the size of a thirty-two pound shot. They
are packed in the dried leaf and stocks of the poppy, and
sent on to China in fast sailing clippers. It being a great
object to be first in the market, there is at all times great
competition among the mercantile houses on this point. The
clipper no sooner arrives at Macao than she immediately
proceeds to transfer a portion of her cargo to receiving ships,
stationed at well-known positions off the coast of China.
These ships are always effectively manned and armed, to en-
able them to resist any sudden attack either by the mandarins
or pirates who rove about this coast in great numbers. They
for the most part lie at anchor some miles from land, and at
stations where the Chinese opium-merchant, from long habit
knows where to find them. Here they are always certain of
obtaining a ready sale for the drug, and at prices which re-
pay the original purchaser, at times, many hundreds per
cent. There are but few firms, however, who can engage in
the traffic to this extent, in consequence of the enormous
floating capital required. The Chinaman comes with his
bags of dollars and sycee, or pure native silver, and receives
the opium in exchange. No credit is given or asked for; all
dealings are carried on in ready money. The opium is never
used by the Chinese in its crude state; but it undergoes a
process which separates the resin and other impurities, leav-
ing a residuum somewhat analogous to the morphia used by
us, though in a very impure state. This is retailed at most
exhorbitant prices, and is supposed to be used universally and
indiscriminately throughout the empire. For medicinal pur-
poses it is employed by the Chinese, both internally and ex-
ternally, to a very great extent ; and I have been informed by
a native doctor, that a very few grains taken internally by the
most confirmed opium-smoker is certain to lull him to sleep,
and have a far more powerful effect upon his secretion than if
ten times that quantity was introduced into the system by
means of inhalation. The drug, when used for smoking,
has the appearance and consistence of tar. The apparatus
necessary for proceeding with the operation consists of a
small lamp, fitted with a glass shade, a steel probe, a small
brass box containing the drug, and an ebony pipe, about
eighteen inches in length; at the further extremity of which
is a large pear-shaped bowl, smoothed and flattened on its
upper surface, in the centre of which is a small hole capable
of admitting a pin's head. The smoker now lies down on
his bed, and drawing the table, on which the lamp is placed,
close to him, with the probe he takes from the box a piece
of opium about the size of a pea ; this he applies to the flame
until it swells and takes fire • instantly blowing the flame
out, he rolls the opium for a short time on the bowl of the
pipe, and then re-applies it to the flame, and repeats the
same process until it becomes sufficiently burned to be fit
for use. It is now introduced into a small aperture in the
bowl, and the lungs having previously been emptied as much
as possible of atmospheric air, the pipe is put to the mouth
and the bowl applied to the flame, and in one long deep in-
spiration the opium becomes almost entirely dissipated. The
fumes are retained in the chest for a short time, and then
emitted through the nostrils. This operation is repeated
until the desired effects of the drug are produced, the period
of which varies according as the individual has been accus-
tomed to its effects. Some old stagers will smoke whole
nights without being completely under its influence ; whereas
to the beginner, or to a person not used to the habit, a very
small quantity is sufficient to stupify. I had the curiosity,
to try the effects of a few pipes upon myself; and must con-
fess I am not at all surprised at the great partiality and cra-
ving appetite always present with those who are long accus-
tomed to its use. From what I have myself experienced, as
well as seen in others, its first effects appear to be that of a
powerful stimulant. There are few who have not, at some
period, experienced the powers of opium, either to soothe or
to mitigate pain, or drown cares and sorrows. But as with
most other temporary stimulants, there follows a period of
nausea and depression; the opium becomes partly digested
in the stomach, and it deranges all the natural secretions.
When introduced inio the system through the lungs, this
does not appear to follow. Its effects are then far more im-
mediate and exhilarating, as well as more transient. The
pulse vibrates, it becomes fuller and firmer; the face glows,
the eyes sparkle, the temperature of the skin is elevated, and
it becomes suffused with a blush ; the organs of sense are
exquisitely sensitive, perspiration flows profusely, respiration
becomes quicker, the action of the heart is increased, the
nervous energy exalted, and a glow of warmth, and sensations
similar to those which often attend highly pleasurable and
agreeable feelings, overspread the body; every organised
tissue shares the impression, and the whole system becomes
preternaturally excited, and assumes the characteristic of
disease. The perceptions become more vivid ; the imagina-
tion more prolific with ideas, and these of a more brilliant and
exalted character. Fancy is awakened, and creates new and
bright associations ; the pleasurable scenes of former life
are again recalled ; events and circumstances long effaced
from recollection, facts long forgotten present themselves to
the mind ; the future is full of delightful anticipations;
whilst the more difficult schemes appear already accom-
plished, and crowned with success. Under its operation
every task seems easy and every labour light; the spirits are
renovated, and melancholy is dissipated. The most delight-
ful sensations and the happiest inspiritations are pre:eot
when only partaken to a limited extent, and to those hot
long accustomed to its use. If persevered in, these pleasing
feelings vanish ; all control of the will, the functions of sen-
sation and volition, as well as reason, are suspended ; ver-
tigo, coma, irregular muscular contractions, and sometimes
temporary delirium, supervene.—MPlierson's Two Years
in China.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE NOVEMBER 11

The duty on Wheat and Flour has now attained the highest
point of 20s. per quarter, and 12s. Old. per barrel, which is
the only alteration there is to notice in the import rates this
week.

Upon a partial change of wind, we have a fair increase of
Wheat and Oats, with a few parcels of Flour, and a rather
large addition of Oatmeal, from Ireland. We have also to
report a good supply of Barley and Malt, coastwise ; but,
within the last three days, no fresh arrivals have appeared
from abroad.

Between Tuesday last and to-day little actual business
occurred in any branch of the trade with consumers • and
though some disposition was manifested to purchase Wheats
'on speculation, neither the of samples nor the terms
of holders were sufficiently liberal to promote any extensive
operations.
Upon a very slender attendance of both town and country
millers this morning, the 'Wheat trade assumed an extremely
dull aspect •, and although the importers of foreign Wheats
were tolerably firm, adherine: in most instances to our last
quotations, which the buyers decidedly refused to pay, the
transactions were altogether trivial, and, had sales been prac-
ticable, rather easier terms must have been conceded. Eng-
lish and Irish new Wheats, also, were more difficult to sell,
and losing the advance realised on Tuesday, reverted to the
currency noted on the Ist instant.

Flour, in like manner, moved off very sparingly, and any
description barelysnstained late prices.
Barley, Malt,'Beans, and Pease, exciting very little atten-
tion, were the turn cheaper.
Oats, being ratiThr more plentiful, and the buyers an-
ticipating further arrivals, the demand was limited, and all
sorts declined in value Id. per -15 lbs. Oatmeal, in conse-
quence of the large supply at band, receded 6d. per 2401b5.,
225. 6d. being the extreme price obtainable to-day.
