The reader pe may like to know wha the rules of mallitary science direct in ich cases. According to those established maxims, the number of men on duty in the trenches before a besi town #bould always equal three-fourths of the strength of the ison, and there should be at least three ‘‘reliets’’ of is number—that is to say, each guard of the trenches should be on duty eight hours only out of the twenty- four, being relieved by a fresh guard at the expiration of that time. But, besides the duties in the trenches, there are the regular duties of the army, such as picket, camp, escort duty, &c. For these a number men, equal to about one-tenth of the whole army, is required, and they should have four reliefs. Now, if we estima the garrison of Sebastopol at 40,000, three-fourths of this number would give 30,000 the trenches, and this at 90,000 One-tenth of 90,000 for army duties would be 9,600, which, at four reliefs, gives 36,000; so that, with- out any reference to Liprandi’s army, the besieging force before Sebastopol ought to muster 14,000 men, where- as it is doubtful if half that number could be produced. ‘The consequences we read in our communications from the spot. Officers and men together are fairly worn out with incessant and excessive work. Owing to the im- osetbility of giving proper relief, the soldiers are en uty far longer more! frequently ‘than they should be, and the drain pat their strength is in proportion pots Pion It ‘ al ate, Fe remembered, too, that a ying an ae Pmeriggs ot pe “relloving” army { where there is a power! army in the field, and where even the troops on duty are harassed by continual alarms from theenemy. intelligence just reported is sufficient to prove that the impétuous aap the French and the unconquerable firmness of the British can make head even against all these disad- vantages, and find at any hazard a road to victory; but it is not the part of a wi ernment or a sympathi- sing nation to permit fuch t to continue. _ The Em- peror Nicholas sets a different example. It is clear from our latest communications that the very beat troops of the Russian army are assembling in Sebastopol, and that all the available strength of the empire will be concen- trated on this poiat of contest. Let us take a lesson, , from our enemy, and meet him, as we can do, on oo own territory, with equal resources and superior spirit. THE GREAT EXERTIONS OF FRANCE AND ENGLAND TO SEND TROOPS TO THE (GLA: CRIMEA. {From the London News, Nov. 15.] We believe we may confidently state that it has been arranged that 50,000 men are to be immediately sent out pig soc to the signee that England is to bear half of the expense. It is to aid the transport of these soldiers that the Peninsular and Oriental Company have received ‘imperative, orders’? from | nigengooy to pre- some of their Jargest steamers for the trans of to the Crimea. It is to supply the men for this expedition that the camp at Lesergh been broken up. English regiments, too, are about to be ssent out to join the army before Sebasto These extensive prepara- tions have occasioned a correspondingly extensive deman i for transports, and we are credibly informed that ou woinisters are at their wits’ ends because they cannot, fer love or money, procure a sufficient number on th: wpur of the moment. Why not employ the ships now ret from the Baltic? The ships which carried ps to Bomarsund can also carry English pol. France is setting the example; a part of the French Baltic fleet is put in requisition to soldiers to the East. Our sailors, galled and irri- fated their resultiess summer watches in the Baltic, will be but too glad to be usefully employed in winter. A trip to the Black Sea now will not prevent their being im readiness against the time that the breaking up o the ice ahallonce more open the Baltic to their opera- tions. ‘Where there is a will there is a way.”” Govern- ment has ample means of transport at its command, if St is in earnest disposed to use them. [From the London Times, Nov. 15.) Ten days have now elapsed since the great battle of the 6th of November, and eighteen since we have re- ceived letters and detailed accounts from the army in the Crimes. It isin vain, therefore, to weary ourselves by conjecturing what may be the and ion of our forces at the present moment, or to seek to found calculations on data which do not exist. We may, however, fairly assume that, whatever be the events of ‘the war, whether overpowered and shut up within our entren , or victorious and masters of Sebasto- pol, our army will feel, after all that we can do for them, the most need of reinforcements. We have taken some trouble to aagertain what amount has been despatched, and what it is intended by our government to despatch, and we believe that ‘we can employ our space in no way more agree- able to our readers than in informing them of the pros- ts of relief which are open to the gallant army of Tora Raglan. We believe that from the commencement of the campaign of the Crimea up to the present time there have been despatched some 7,000 men to reinforce thearmy. Of these some have arrived and been: in aetive conflict; others, for instance the 64th, re probably reached the camp since the 28th; some may even yet be on way. These reinforcements are pally made up of detachments sent to complete the void which disease or battle has left in the ranks of our regiments. In no more useful form could reinforcements be sent, though also in none which would less attract the pubhc eye, or make a smaller show on paper. Admit- ting this, we must still think that such reinforcements, even if they had already arrived, are but a small addition to an army exposed, as ours has been, to the ravages of @ devouring pestilence, as well as to the attacks of an enem: atly superior in numbers, in resources, and in knowledge of the country. War has a devouring maw, which must constantly be fed, and even in times of the greatest ease and inaction, when large bodies of men are thered together, he never foregoes his daily banquet. Ge are nat, we believe, too presumptuous in hoping that the losses of the siege and of the actions which have been fought may, by the supplies already sent, be pretty well compensated, and that for the future, in o1 to raise onr army to its original efficiency, all that is re- quired will be the supply of 10,000 men to take the places of the sick, who, we fear, amount to fully that pumber. The following is an outiine of the mauner in which it is intonded to accomplish this object:— It is intended to send to the Crimea one more batta- Bion of the Guards, the 97th regiment, from the Pireus, the 62d from Gallipoli, the J4th from Malta, the 71st from Corfu, the 82d trom Edinburgh, and the 90th from Freeland. ‘ihere will be no difficulty, we understand, in obtaining the services of any amount of any mikitia that may be required to do garrison duty in the fortrssses thus left ungarrisoned, so that this very considerable reinforcement may be sent without runnig any risk or stripping the empire of any of its necessary defences, nor are the means wanting of supplying this great addi- dional drain on our resources. Notwithstanding the Peace Society, notwithstanding increased demand for labor in all trades and occupations, we are recruiting at the rate of 1,000 mena week, and have as little fear of wanting the raw material soldiers as if we had a legion of spies and a whole army of crimps to enforce the utmost rigors of conscri ption. The martial and adventurous spirit of the nation ix roused by the stirring, tidings which almost to post brings to our shores; and the service has regained in the midst of a bloody and desperate war that popularity which it was in some danger of losing in the piping times of e. The cavalry regiments at home will not be sent abroad, ‘but will serve as training schools for the reeruits of the regiments on foreign service.’ It is intended to raise each troop to seventy-five men, and to add two troops to each regiment, which will ‘give « total increase of 1,500 sabres to the force in the Crimea; and; besides, all deficiency occasioned by casualties is to bo made up. It is propored to purchase for the use of the cavalry sea- soned horses instead of three-year-olds, as better able to bear the fatigues and privations of a campaiga, and Tess liable to injury by a long voyage. It thus appears that government is now fully awake tothe absolute necessity of recruiting our exhausted = and not suffering an enterprise so bors planned, and hitherto so bravely executed, to languish for want of support, or perish of Ananition. Six regiments and a battalion of guards would be indeed a seasonabdle rein- foreement, and the promised filling up of the melan- holy vacancies of our cavalry regiments would remedy ina great degree the deficiencies hitherto experienced in that arm. If this were done, or even if it could be done quickly, such relief would be only an instalment towards the ji ustice we owe to our troops, and the sup- +t we are bourd to afford to a righteous cause, and to faithful and courageous allies. But, unfortunately, these plans exist only upon paper, and, though she: doubtlessly will be carried out, it te dreadful to thin! what may happeh before the’ irresistible obstacles, 1f and space admit thetr execution, 7 By the last accounts, the effective number of the English amounted to only 16,700 men, and from these must now be deducted the waste of ten days’ siege ope- rations, with all their incidents of sorties, skirmishes, apd alerts, and the loss by, perhaps, one or two days of bloody and exterminating battle, besides whatever else may have occurred im the ten succeeding days dur. easily fed and lodged, and are poy | period at which the operations of the siege and of the relieving army have arrived. The ground around Sebastopol is rugged and mountainous, and there- fore indifferent fitted for the operations of cavalry. We trust, , that the materials of war will continue to be abundantly su ly and that the screw steamers which can no r serve us in the Baltic may be transferred to Black Sea, so as not only to keep mpomnamones ofibt coast, but to continue the supply to the army of ¢ most valuable auxiliaries, our seamen and marines. Our allies are about to send, ‘in English steamers, 8,000 ex- cellent troops to reinforce their army, and we trust that Omer Pacha has ere this supplied us with many thou- sand Turks of the calibre of who fougt at Oltenitza and Silistria, to replace those who obtained so uneavi- able a notoriety in the battle of the 25th of October. If time only suffice togather together all these scattered elements of strength, we may yet have an army lai enough to wrest from Russis the dominion over fairest province of her empire ; but not a moment is to bs lost, if we would do justice to as gallant an army and as able a leader az ever England sent forth to battle. THE MAIL STEAMERS REQUIRED TO CARRY REINFORCE- MENTS. [From the London News, Nov. 14.) ‘The Peninsular and Oriental Company have notified to their customers that they have received ‘imperative orders from government to prepare the Candia, Ripon, and other large steamers for the transport of troops to the Crimes,’ The directors state that they are informed that ‘‘the emergency of the case requires that this step shoyld be taken, even at the risk of interrupting the mail service,” an interruption, however, winch “thei: e Py precgutions will obviate. learo from other sources that, besides the Candia and Ripon, the Nubia and Royal West India Mail Company’s steamer Thames have beea taken up by the government, and will proceed from Southampton to Toulon to take in French ps for the Crimea. The Ripon, Candia and Thames will start ina few days, and the Nubia will start from Southampton as soon as she arrives home with the India and Chins mail. ‘The whole of the four steamers bound for Toulon are large ones, capable each of conveying 1,000 men, and would take them out to the Crimea in a fortnight. 150 tons of light ordnance stores and 20 tons medical stores have arrived at Southampton, to be sent out to the Black Sea in the Rajah, which leaves for Constantinople on the 15th inst. It appears that in addition to the various mail con- ‘tract steamers already chartered, the government have just taken up the Europa, of 1,800 tons, and the Alps screw steamer, of 1,500 tons, belonging to the Cunard Tonglag 9 tte Goneral Serew Company (hourly expected longiny e Gent rew Company (hourly ex rae aa casos St ult., mes, of 1, longing to the Bred ie at ‘the Royal Mail’ Steam Company” © The Alps is withdrawn from the berth for New York, and sailed on Sunday, the 11th, for Toulon, to embark Frenchmen.

THE SOULE AFFAIR. (Translated from the Paris Correspondence of the Inde- pendence Belge, of Brussels.) Paris, Nov. 2, 1854. » It is true that the affair of Mr. Soulé, United States Minister at Madrid, has caused a great excitement here, and it is also true that he was denied passage through France, on his return from England; but it is easy to ea- tablish the fact that this act of the French government was performed through very serious motives, and was very well justified. It is also easy to divest this affair of what at first seemed to involve serious political conse- quences between France and the United States. You know that Mr. Soulé is a Frenchman born. I will not tell you to-day under what circumstances he lef France. Perhaps at some future day I will give you ‘the'case in detail. For this moment I will only speak of the personage whose attitude, language and role, since his bcs from the United States as miuister to Europe, have provoked the step which the French government has just taken. As soon as he arrived in Madrid, Mr. Soulé mixed with the partizans of the ue creed, and particularly with those who were ical to the French ronment. His Janguene against this government—against the Em- peror if—was not o: vy, ina per but often violent and injurious. The Marquis de Turgot had been only a short time established as French Ambassador at Madrid when Mr. Soule seized upon an opportunity to embroil him ina duel, which he wanted to fight with him per- sonally, while nothing on the part of Monsieur de Tur- got had given him a reason or an excuse for this provo- cation. ie cause of this hostile meeting, partaking but little of diplomacy, was to be charged entirely to the tone of Mr. Soulé, ‘his strange proceedings and his abrupt provocation. The result was fatal to Monsieur de Turgot. who had accepted the challenge with senti- ments of dignified susceptibility. After the éclat of this duel, it would pernaps have been good taste on the part of Mr. Soulé not to take our coun- try for his promenades, while his hands were still stained with the of our Ambassador. However, he was looked upon as having played a very active and very compromising réle in Spanish events in July apd August. The Spanish government itself, born from the revolution of July, notwithstanding its democratic sym- pathies and tendencies, had reason, apparently to com- lain of the intrigues of the Uuited States Minister. Either he was obliged to leave Madrid for a season, or wishing to continue with activity his demagoguical and revolutionary mission, he came to France. For an entire month he travelled in the southern pro- vinces, visiting the men the most violent and the most compromised in the anarchial ideas of 1848, preparing, almost openly, an armed oS. against the actual government, expressi imself, without reserve or cretion, in language which, spoken by any French citi- zen, would have been judged culpable. Government was informed of this revolutionary enterprise, and of the ex- cesses in language of Mr. Soulé. However, he was at liberty to pass unmolested through France to England. Mr. Soule, in London, mixed more among political re- fugees than among the members of tl diploma- tique. He was permanently in conference with those men of 1848, whose convictions—pronounced under the Republic of 1848 and ’49—show their flagrant hostility not only against the French government but even against the French society. These conferences, their character and their aim, were well known here through channels that were reliable. When Mr. Soulé, after having been the head and heart of those conferences, came to the French borders, the Minister of the Interior thought [tad to forbid him entrance into the French territory. ving charge ef the order and pesee of the interior, andthe security of the public, this minister did not think that Mr. Soulé, who had made himself the go-be- tween of the republicans and the demagogues of sundry quarters in the southern provinces, was to be authorized to act as their agent and the agent of the most danger- | ous chiefs gathered at London. These are the real facts of the case. How can these facts be viewed in point of international law? What consequences can they lead to? An ambassador or foreign minister has but a diploma- tic character in those countries in which he is not the resident or the representative. When he travels through those countries en route to the State to which he is sent, or when he returns back again, he is covered by le droit des yens. He enjoys the specia) protection of’ this law, which is extended to all persons diplomatique, even to a bearer ofdespatches. But was it in these circumstances that Soulé came back to France? Has he asked passage through this State as a diplomatic Has he shown this qualification? Not at all. é came first to France to abandon himself to the deli; of political tour, very active, very long, but which had nothing to do with his mission and his diplomatic attri butes, He came as a pri individual, ostensibly, or rather apparently, to travel; but, in reality, to act wth | malevolent and hostile intention against the government. He came back, it is evident, to recommence and continue his action with more dangerous arguments than.ever. The government has taken the welts to pre- yent it. Are not these measures right, as well as rea- sonable and necessary? How can it ssible to see in this a violation of the law of nations? How is it possible for him, or any one, to pretend thie action of the govern- ment to be directed against the diplomat—that they af- fected his official character, and consequently outraged his preyeett Adiplomat in the country where he resides, notwithstanding his «pecial privileges, is obliged, in his dealings with persons and things, to respect the general laws of the country in which he is placed. If the government has cause of complaint agaiust him, it delivers to him his passports and obliges him to use them instantly, In the privileges of the diplomat, ave not wrap) up the resj nsibilittes of the private citizen. So much more is this distinction between the diplo- mat and the private citizens in the countries in which he is not accredited. His official character only ac companies the diplomat in his tour, as Lhave mon tioned above, or in the accilental relations which he seeks, either with the chiefs of the State or the Minister, or the functionaries of the country where he is, and to whom he has been introduced with this offi cial character. But one who makes a tour through a country to which he is not accredited with any official position, comes only asa private individual, and with. out special rights. He who in this condition excites troubles, irritates bad feelings, calls to life elements of insurrection and civil war, is no more enwrap) with guarantees which leave the government defenceless, than any other agent of disorder. In one werd, a country never abandons nor abdicates its own sovereignty, even towards a diplomat. Now, is there a sovereign’ right more imprescriptible and more sacred than the one which every State has to exercise for its interior | security and defence?

CONTINUED FIGHTING—ANARCHY IN THE INTERIOR— SILK AND TEA MARKETS—ACTION OF THE PLENIPO- TENTIARIES. Telegraphic accounts, via Trieste, in anticipation of the mail from China, September 27th, state that there has been no further change in the rate of ex- change. The export of tea, to date, had been 21,600,000 Tbe., and of silk 6,907 bales. Canton being still threat- ened, the trade of the place continued at a stand. Con- erable fighting had recently taken place, but the re- sult was unknown. No further supplies of tea had arrived, and none seem- ed to be expected, although every effort had been made, ana “black mail’’ had been offered for safe transit at the rate of $7 per pecul.

Death of Mr. Charles Kemble. (From the Landon ‘Times, Nov. 15.) Though several years have now ela] since Mr. Charles Kemble’s appearance on the s! , his death will be considered an important event, even by those who have not had the great advantage of witnessing his admirable performances. To the youngest playgoer his name will be familiar as that of last histrionic scion ofa family which was for many years associated with all that was high and dignified in theatrical art. But in those of longer experience the record of the melan- choly event will awaken a remembrance of bygone days, when the*veteran who closed his earthly career on sun- day last aed as ved papeners ofa ead es ters upon si in which, according to the opinion even of the ablest j he was never excelled.” The gay, buoyant, spirited gentleman of high breeding, who was such constant s hero years ago, was so com- pletely. identified with Mr. C! Kemble, that since is retirement from the’ profession the character iteelf has almost sunk into oblivion. Mr. Charles Kemble was burn in November, 1775—the same year in which his illustrious sister, Mra. Siddons, made her first appearance at Drury lane—and at the age of fourteen was sent to the College of Douay, where his brother, John Kemble, had studied twelve years before. In the winter of 1792-3 he made his first recorded ap- ine at the Sheffield theatre as Orlando, in “As You ike It,’’ and in April, 1794, through the interest of his brother John, made his debut at Drury lane as Malcolm, in “Macbeth.” Itia no discredit to his memory that during the earlier part of his career he was considered what, in popular criticism, is terme ‘‘a regular stick,’ for the fact that he was sofconsidered proves that in climbing to the high eminence he afterwards attained he had to conquer a difficulty often insurmountable—an uu- favorable impression. If he began at the bottom of the ladder his whole career was one of improvement, and if slighted in 1794, he was regarded thirty years afterwards 2 one of the brightest ornaments of the theatrical pro- fension. When Mr. John Kemble purchased a share of Covent Garden theatre in 1803, . Siddons and Mr. Charles Kemble both became members of that company. To Covent Garden Mr. Charles Kemble remained attached for a long series of years, though he occasionally fulfilled engagements elsewhere; and subsequently per sessed the share originally held by his brother. With his retirement from the management of that theatre, more than twenty years ago, began the decline of the “large houses’? as national establishments, although a temporary resuscitation was elfected by the manage- ments of Mr. Macready and Madame Vestris. It was while Covent Garden was under the direction of Madame Vestris that Mr. Charles Kemble, after » Jong retirement, re-appeared before the | publie for & limited series’ of nights, and played several of his favorite characters, including Don Felix, Mercutio, and Mamlet. Except in aseries of readings he has never been seen by any audience aince that occasion, but almost to the last day of his life he was well known ia private 0. ciety as one of the most cheerful and intell gent com- panions. His flow of spirits was. the more remarkable, 4s for the la years he suffered so severely from deafness that without the aid of » trumpet he could not hear a single word of the conversation around him. This afiliction caused him at times to wear a melancholy ap- pearance that cont angely with the gaiety which perhaps his own hospitality iad oceasioned, but the clousl was only transient, and if any congenial spirit spoke to him of the “good old times,” his eye would brighten, his voice would grow eloquent, and he would pour forth a flood of ancedote, reminiscence, and criti- cism, most enterta‘ning and instructive to all present. To the chosen few who have known him in society his death will be an irreparable loss. Though Mr. Charles Kemble‘played tragedy as well as comedy, it is with the higher classes of comedy that his name is chiefly associated. His excellence is thus forci- Uy described by a gentleman who had an opportunity of comparing him with early actors who are almost myths to the present generation:—‘ I never,” says Mr. Robson, in his Old Playgoer, “saw au actor with more buoyancy of spirits than Chares Kemble; Lewis had wonlerfal vivacity, airiness and sparkle, but he was finicking com- pared with Charles. Who ever played a drunken gentle- man as he did? His elforts to pick up his dress hat, in Charles Oakley, were the most laughable, the most ridi- culous, the most natural that can be imagined. I have ‘seen him perform the character of Friar Tuck, in a dramatic version of Mr. Peacock's Maid’ Marian, with such an extraordinary abandonment and gusto, that you were forced back to the ‘jolly green wood and the bonny forest bramble,’ he absoiutely rollicked through the part, as if he had lived all his fife with Robin and his men, Quafiag fat ale and devouring venison pastries. But, perhaps nis mas- terpiece in this way was Cassio—the insidious creeping of the ‘devil’ upon his senses—the hilarity of intoxica- tion—the tongue cleaving to the roof of the mouth, aad the lips glued together—the confusion—the state of loss of ecll, iF T many so torm it, when he recvived the febuke of Othello, and th wonderful truthfulness of his getting sober, were beyond iption fine—nay, real. No drunken scene T ever saw on a stage was comparable to it’? “Tn parts of gallant spirited bearing,” ners the same writer in another place, “just hitting the dificalt mark—noble, without bluster—self-possessed, without apparent efiort—energetic, without bombast—elegant, without conceit, Cha: Kemble has never in my time been equalled’?

At the termination of business this state of affairs had rtially subsided, bute consols were still a quar- r per cent higher for the account than for money, the quotation for the 7th of December being 9234 to 5. Throughout the day a multitude af rumors were circulated, including one that Parliament would soon be called together, and another that the French government have arranged to send out 50,000 fresh troops at the joint expense of England and France. The old attempts to represent a loan as imminent wero likewise revived, and, although there is no reason to Delieve either that the government have changed their views on that subject, or that they are at present in any need of additional supplies, the idea of the large increase of expenditure henceforth inevitable is causing the pub- lic to prepare themselves for the ultimate necessity either of new — orof an addition to the direct taxation. Atthe same time there is but one feeling, that whatever may be baad in that respect will be given cheerfully, and that the government can err onl; on the side of want of vigor, Bank Stock left off at 21 to 218; reduced, 90% to 9034; new three per cents., 91 to %4; India stock, 231 to 234; India bonds, 108. to 1s.; | and Exchequer bills, ds. to'Ts, premium. Exchequer | bonds remain at 99% to 100, The closing accounts from the Paris Bourse this even- ing show another decline of a quarter per cent, occa- sioned probably by the fallon this side. From Vienna the quotations present little alteration, but the tendency is still towards increased distrust, the rate of exchai being 12.1, while the premium on gold has advanced 2844 per cent, and on silver to 25%. quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mille dis- ag to the last tariff.) which, at the Eog- of £3 178. 103/d. per ounce for standard ld, gives an exchange of 25.143; and the exchange at is on Lendon at shorrt being 25.0734, it follows that id is about 0.28 per cent dearer in Paris than in Lon- n. By advices from Hamburg, the price of gold is 42434 io mark, which, at the Bagh mint price of £3178. 103d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 18.4%; and, the exchange at Hamburg on London at short ip ewe it follows that gold is 0.69 per cent dearer in Hamburg than in London, The course of exchange at New York on London for Dills at sixty days’ sight is 100% per cent, and the par of exchange between England America being 109 23-40 per cent, it follows that thé exchange is nominally 0.17 per cent in favor of England; and after making allow- ance for charges of transport and difference of interest, the present rate leaves a trifling profit on the importa: tion of gold from the United States.

By the arrival of the royal Brazilian mail packet Thames, Capt. Strutt, at Southampton, we have the fol- fowing South American dates:—Buenos Ayres, October 2; Montevideo, Sth; Rio de Janeiro, 16th; Bahia, 20th; Pernambuco, 224. In the month of September a slaver (brig), with 550 slaves on board, embarked 700 casks of water at St. An- tonio, Cape de Verds, bound for Cuba. The yellow fever had ceased at Rio, and the Brazils were generally heal- thy. Vessels with clean bills of health would be ac- corded pratique at Rio after thirty days from England. Movements of British ships of wi i man, and Trident, at Rio de Janeiro; Falkland Islands; Vixen, at Buenos Ayres; an 8, cruising off Bahia, Madagascar hoisted the flag of Rear Admiral Hope Johnstone. The Dee touched at St. Vin- cent Oct. 6. Montevideo was tranquil under its guard of 4,000 Brazilian soldiers. + The government of Buenos Ayres was in a precarious | position; the ministers were falling: away from the Go- vernor, Pastor Obligado, on personal pretexts, flattering him and deserting him. The province, moreover, was menaced. The British Packet intimates the fact in the following cautious manner:— At the same time we must be so candid as to own that we do not participate in the lugubrious apprehensions that seem implied in some incidental remars or admis- sions of the ministers. “The clouds and tempests,”” we trust and believe, are only “air-drawn daggers,” that need not frighten’ foreign commerce. We can see no person or party within the State capable of menacing public order or endangering the stubility of our constitu. tional regime; and the dangers from without, to which we alluded at'some length in a recent number, are still remote, and subject to a host of coutingencies that ren- der them powerless and innocuous, unless fostered and fanned into aflame by our internal disuniou; adissolyent quality that appears rampant in the enemy remission of arns and warlike stores from the Parana, coupled with the capture of ex-Colonel Cla- vero and other birds of illomen, leaves hardly a doubt that a movement is, or was, contemplated against this State; but under whose auspices, or with what ramifica- tions, does not yet very clearly appear. The British Packet, in ita monthly summary, says that September, which should have been a month of great business activity, had not proved so, and of the causes that may be asaigned says:—“ Unhappily they all resolve themselves into the political agitation, and the consequent insecurity, real or fanciful, that has so long brooded, like an incubus, over these unfortunate com: munities, chilling their innate aspirations, and nipping every successive bud of hope.” Other reasons, however, are admitted, such as the perturbations of the money market, and the adverse course of exchange. Stocks of export produce were being brought forward; holders of hides submitted to a reduction of ten to twenty per cent. Tallow had declined five per cent; stocks were we (Correspondence of the London Times. ] Rio pe Jaxtiro, Oct. 14, 1854. The Camilla has brought us no news of great interest from the river.

ANTHONY AND (O.’S CIRCULAR. Lonpon, Nov. 14, 1854. It seems probable that if Sebastopol is taken, the Crimea cannot be held witnout reinforcements, and the consequent delays will subject the allies toa winter cam- paign. The effect of this upon the commerce and pro- perty of the world can scarcely be overstated. Our mar- kets are very much depressed, and a general feeling of ‘loom is feléfor the future. ‘Considerable anxiety and isappointment is also expressed at the continued rise of provisions. The price of wheat has advanced to 85s. The avernge price of 1852 is given at 41s. 2d. por quarter; in 1853 at 1s. 10d.; the present year at 794. 6d.; in aldition to which the price of beef'and mutton is now higher thaa ithas been for the last seven years.

The bank returns show a slight dimi- nution in the amount of bullion, and the exchanges tend rather unfavorable to land. The reesipts and ex- rts have been about equal. There has within the past few days been a slight increase in the demand for money. Many of the changes, fluctuations, and consequent crises in England we trace to the present regulations of the Bank of hich is allowed to issue fourteen millions in paper against bonds and securities; but for every additional £1 they must have a £1 increase in | gold, added to which they are compeliod to purchase | (whether it is plenty or scarce) all the gold that is offer- | ed, at the fix: ice of £3174. 103g. the ounce; aggra- vating speculation in time of plenty by Increased ousi increased circulation of paper, and aggravating ion in time of scarcity, either from the drain for war purposes, grain importation, adverse exchanges, or any other cause, by the contraction of its facilities. Un- der the present laws, the value of money depends much upon the amount of gold in the bank till; and to foretell its future value, one has but to anticipate the amdint of exports and imports of the precious motals, and the price of Exchequer bills, The drain to China has nearly ceased. To the continent the exchanges, although lass firm, are still favorable to England. The only drain Ukely to continue is for general purposes to carry on the war.

The amount of commercial bills im the bank till show an increase of about £600,000, In consequence of the failure of the hop harvest, to which we called attention some months since, the price of which was then quoted at from £5 to £7 per ewt., an advance has been established, and the market is now ac- tive at £18 5s, to £21 ba. per owt.

The arrival of a steamer with later advices and a large remittance of gold dust from California had, at the close of the week, a favorable effect on the stock market, ant throughout yesterday considerable buoyancy prevailed. The receipt of a million and a half of goli by a weekly steamer created quite a favorable feeling, and the impres- sion was that the shipments from California for the month would show an increase, Those who anticipate such a result will, we fear, be mistaken. The steamer of the 16th of October from San Francisco brought down nearly two millions of gold, and $1,819,491 arrived at this port on the Oth inst., by the North Star. The steam- er Northern Light arrived here on the 14th with $564,405, being the shipment from San Frane'sco of October 24th. The Star of the West, which will be due at this port about Wednesday next, will bring the shipment from San Francisco of November 7th, and the probability is that it wil not te much over half a mil lion of dollars. Gold diggers in the Interior of California have been in the habit of rend- ing their dust to San Francisco, 80 as to moot the steamers leaving that port on the Ist and 16th of each month, and it will be some time beforo the alter, nate steamers will get an equal share of the treasure coming to the Atlantic. The arrival of the Star of the West will show the correctness of our conclusions, The large receipts by the George Law, and the small ship: pont by the Atlaulic, were comsidvred jayosable indica- tions, and consequently had # favorable effect; but w @ do not see any real improvement in financial affairs The banks will continue to show a contraction in dis counts, and it is reported a falling off in specie will ap pear. Had the George Law arrived a day or two earlier the Atlantic would have takenout a larger amount, and the banks, in their returns for Saturday, the 26th inst., would have shown an increase. The bulk of the recent remittances will appear in next week’s report, if the Asia, from this port for Liverpool on Wednesday, does not carry it away. From England our financial advices are bot so encouraging. The last returns of the Bank of England show a loss of bullion equal to the increase of the week previous, and the advance in breadstuffs, with a protracted run, is likely to create a greater pres- sure in the money market. At home we have some en- couraging prospects relative to exchanges. A decline in quotations is considered by many a panacea for all our difficulties, and the movements of the market are there- fore watched with a great deal of solicitude. ‘The exportation of specie from this port for the past week, and for the year, has beem as follows:— SHIPMENTS OF SPECIZ FROM THE PoRT OY New Yore.

By the arrival of the steamship Baltic at this port from Liverpool we have four days later intelligence from Eu- rope. The political news is important and interesting, but the financial and commercial accounts are by no means of a favorable character. The London News of the 15th ‘saye:— The tendency of the English funds, and of the Stock Ex- change markets generally, continues decidedly down- ward. At one period of the day a further fall of % per cent was established, and although more steadiness whs observable towards the close, prices left off 34 per cent lower than yesterday. The downward was aceelerated to-day by an increased supply gf stock im the market, as indicated by the conclusion of month- ly settlement in consols, in consequence of which the “contango’’ on this stock to the new account of the 7th of December advanced to 34 per cent. The chief depressing feature, however, rested with the more serious estimate formed by public opinion of the probable cost of the war, which is regarded us likely to render an early loan ine- vitable. It is assumed, moreover, that any considerable creation of stock would operate n effectual obstacle to the establishment of such high prices as those at which the funds have been maintained during the earlier months of the Russian war. The ial of the afternoon wai sed by a statement, which was credited in good circles, that a feinforcement of 60,000 French troops is to be despatched as quickly as possible to the seat of , England paying halt the expense. It scarcely necessary to point out, however, that euch an arrangement is equivalent to subsidising ce. Console opened at 92% to 93 for the 7th December, and, after receding to 92'4, closed at 9234 to %. For money, the transactions were at 92 to 92%, and the. closing quotation was 92% to 3%. The official business report is as follows:—Three per Cent Consols, for money, 9234, 34, 34, 34, 92, 9234, 92; do. for account, 7th Dec., 9296, as My 34, day F ‘The £143,000 in specie broughy by the Africa, from New York, is taken for exportation to the Contigent. The demand continued active this afternoon. It js stated that some parcels of bar gold were withdrawn from the bank for shipment yesterday. ‘The foreign exchanges this afternoon generally showed a downward tendency. The demand for paper on Ham- burg caured transactions to take place as low as 13.536, although bills remained over at the close of/’Change at 13.634¢ to6. The shipments of corn which are now in progress from the Baltic gud other ports, in consequeace of the rise in the English corn imarkets,’are calculated to exercise a decidedly unfavorable influence on the ex- changes. On Amsterdam the current rate was 11.16% to 17; on Frankfort, 11844 ; ou Paris 25.05 to 0736, at thort, and 26 20, at three months. In the case of Vienna and Trieste there was no alteration of impor- tar ce. ‘Ibe dollars brought in by the last Mexican packet were sold to-day, chiefly for China, at bs. per ounce, being the same price as was realized for the previous arrival. Some limited parcels of bar silver have been taken for the continent at 5s. 1¢d. per ounce standard, showing an advance of 34d. per ohnce. : There was a greater demand for money, bug the rates of discount had not changed. Advices from Paris quote the price of gold at about 1 mille disgount, and the exchange at Paris on London at short 25.08},, making gold 0.24 per cent dearer in Paris than in London. The | price of gold at Hamburg is 424 per mark, and the ex- change on London at short 18.4, making gold dearer in Hamburg than in London. The cotton market was inactive and prices had a down- ward tendency, although no actual decline had taken place. Breadstuffs had fallen off slightly in quotations, but operations were limited. ‘The annexed statement exh b ts the quantity and value of merchandise other than foreign dry goods, imported into thls port during the week ending Friday, November ; & CommERCE OF THE Port oy New York—WSxxty Imports.
