which stood prorogued al its rising the 9th Sept
until Thursday, was farther prorogued by Royal

The Bank Of Engtand-Bank of England returns
show an increase in the circulation of about ESQ 900,
whilst the bullion has again decreased nearly El0O,-
900. The demand for silver for the continent has,
however, subsidized. Some trifling imports OF gold

iRELAND.-d Urt Of Error [ssued.-The news
from Ireland continues TO be regarded with but little
interest. The State trials in Dublin have common

some signal event. The pretensions of Prince Louis
Napulcon will be contested by General Cavaignac,
backed by the whole weight of the Executive Gov
crnment In country in the world can this infiu
cnce be brought TO bear, by means of the numerous
Projects throughout the departments, with more sue
cess than in France Nevertheless, the prestige OF
the name of Bonaparte is so great in the provinces
that it is not doubted but that the Prince VIII carry
his election by an ovcrwht lining majority AT any
rate he will receive such number of suffragcs as
shall give him the required majority without an ap-
peal to the Assembly.
