INCREASE IN THE RATE~OF INTEREST RY THE BANK OP ENGLAND, Erom the London Times, (city article,) Oot. 19.) e Bank of England advanced their rate ot di unt yesterday, from 534 per cent, at which it was fixed on ‘the 4th instant, to 6 per cent for bills not having more than 60 days to run, and to 7 per cent for those from 60 to 95 days. The Bank of France have also advanced their rate from 5 per cent, a+ which it was fixed on the 4th instant, to 6 per cent. The English funds opened in the morning with an unsettled appearance at a decline of an eighth from the last prices of h, and the first transactions in consols for money were at 873g to The public, however, still continued to show confidence, and an improvement took place to 87%.

From the Liverpool Post, Oct. 19.] A requis{tion of @ highly important chacacter was yesterday signed on ’Change, addressed to the Chairman 2f the Chamber of Commores, requesting the chamber t0 call a meeting to consider what course should be instantly adopted for the ielief of the community, now suffering trom a fearful depreciation of property ba opt hea upon our present monotary system. ition, heated by Hitiledale and_Co., Sandbach, ‘inne ani Co, Moly- peux ‘Taylor and Co., Haigh and’ Co., Zwilchenbart and Co., Buchanan, Brown and Co., and other influential names, received ina very short period a large complement of signatures, and will be prosented a\ o'clock this day to Edward Heath, Kaq., Chairman of the Chamber; until which hour it will lie for signature at the offices of Mr. Beloe, 18 Brunswick strect. The following is the requisition:— ‘To the Chairman and Committee of the Liverpool Cham- ber of Commerce -— We, the undersigned, residents of Liverpool, deeply en- gaged in the commercial affairs of the couniry, eannot elp viewing with dismay the continued depreciation of Seu something not fully ndency EE the bank; man the bank directors obviously thinl vather Property ieee, the influence of our present mone‘ary system, hich has again arrived at an alarming crisia, They request that you will calla meeting of the Chamber of Commerce to consider what course should be instantly adopted for the relief of the community. Mr. Heath, in receiving the above memorial, satl he was aware of the step being taken by the mem)rialists, and that he himself, as a member of the commercial com- munity, was suffering from the present crisis, and could not, therefore, help sympathising with tho’ rest of his commercial friends, In the capacity of chairman of the chamber, he was willing to use every endeavor calculated to promote the object in view. He would vemind the deputation, however, that it would be cep bl to proceed with moderation, as the onl: means of maintaining that influence and position whi the chamber had by pursuiug such a course obtain- ed. He observed, further, that during the past fortnight he had had seme intercourse with various gentlemen on this subject, andthat it was his intention, at the next monthly meeting of the chamber, to have brought the matter forward, He should probably have taken it upon ita general merits, as well as in connction with the great question of the money charter. Having, nowever, re- cetved this numerourly signed requisition, he should con- sider it his duty to call a special meeting of the council of the chamber on the subject. After some further consideration, the Chairman inti- mated that he would cai] « special meeting of the coun*il on Monday, at which the desirability of calling a meet- ing of the Chamber would be considered, [From the London Globe, Oct. 19. Yesterday the Bank of England advanced their rate of discount from 544 to 6 and 7 per cent; and yesterday some persons at Averpool signed a memorial calling upon the local Coamber of Commerce to potition Parliament for a temporary suspension of Peel’s bank act of 1814. This we fully expected, and the gentlemen at Liverpool have conferred a favor upon the country by bringing for ward the proposition as soon as possible, in at tiad the policy way be summarily discussed, exploded and dismissed. If there is one thing more decidedly settled than another, it is that, notwithstanding the continued drain of bullion, there has been down to the present. mo- ‘nt an unbroken conildence in the commercial soun?t ness of the country, and we must assign this correct feel ing mainly to two causes. In the first place, we trace it to the ‘comprrative absence of speculative trans- actions; and in the second, to the conviction of the public that our currency Perfect- ly genuine, end that any inconvenfences which might result from the d of bullion to supply a va° cutim on the continent is, as much as possible, under the control of that establishigent which bes ig charge the foodgaies of the curvéney. Although the nature of the Gemand on the contivent iv im part but conjecturaliy known, the nature of the operation at the bank is per- fectly understood by every com: 1 class in the coua- try. The bank bas successively ratsed the rate of dis- count by a half per cont at a time, in the expecta'foa that the increased value cf money which is at once recognized is and confirmed by that enhancement, would assist in caus- ing a reaction to bring back bullion from the continent.

The state of trade yer- terday was not different from what is was on Wedneslay, or from what it has been for several months past. We still possess the same ample but not excessive supp ies of cur manufactored commodities; we have reason to ex- peet commodities in exchange from all the great countries with which we are ii g communication; and what ever may be the price in money, the relative value of these commodities remains the same, though their value rm The proposal to suspent s thon a What was the object of the act of 1844” Tt was su ital to the act of 1819, which declared that the notes of the Bank of Fngland should be convertible iato gold al the rate af £8 1%, l0igd. per ounce. If we did not see the fallacy repeated, wo should think it superiuous at this date to remark that £5 17s. 10%¢d. is mot the “price” of gold, but it only means that we agree to call a piece of gold weighing a quarter of an ounce 19%, 5d, and ths, ofa penny—giving to the lump of stamped gold the colloquial uame of a “sovereign.” sis the answer to Peel's question, “What is a pound» and waen it is pro pored to alter the «tandard of value in order to suit the convenience of raising the falling price or any other flue- tuation, we moke exseily the same proposition as i aspiring hero, witl: wo! on than inches, were to suggest that che recruiting sergeant should be sunpll with a footrule of didevent lengths, to suit the « s of candidates.

Advices from Amsterdam mention that the Bank of Holland have resolved to dectine seliing silver, which, at a fixed price, has heretofore been their custom. this will be an additional obstacle to the transmission of fur- ther amounts to India and China. It is understood that the prevailing high rates of dis- count have already had the effect of causing considerable amounts of ig stock to be sent to the Continent for sale. A further favorable circumstance consists in the fact that some portion of the recent drain from the Bank of England has arisen simply froma demand on the part of the Scotch, Irish, and other provincial banks. In this manrer a large parcel of sovereigns has been taken away to-day, and it is believed that the total absorbed in these channels during the past month or two beyond the usual amount is little short of a miliien sterling, the means for peoanring such extra funds having in several instances een obtained by sales of Exchequer bills or stock. : ‘Op the other hand, against these reassuring ciccum- stances must be set a rumor that the Bank of France is desirous of procuring an additional £2,009,090 in gold, and that the future Australian arrivals are likely to be purchased to supply it. The mode, however, in which the credit is to be arranged is not stated, and it would be satiefnetory ifit could be hoped that the alter- ation yesterday in the French rate of discoun+ may be found sufficient to accomplish what is desired, and that the plan, if it has been entertained, will be rescinded. ‘The peculiar evil of such artiticinl measures is, that in both countries the reaction from them must be as mis- chievous as their first effects, since an unnatural re- bound on one sife is as much to be deprecated ax ie ultimate increase of anxiety that must be felt on the other. The annexed communication relates to the operation of the measures of the Bank on a specific class of tradé bills: Crry, October 19, 1855. Sir—I deg to call yourattention to the very serious in- convenience to which the numerous wholesale houses whose engagements fall due on the 4th of eash month will be subject to by the resolution of the Bank of Eng- land not to discount bills having more than 60 days to run, except at the high rate of 7 per cent. If a house holds bills due on the 4th of January, and wishes to dis- count them, to provide for payment on the 4th of No- vember, it will be shut out trom the Bank of England. except at 7 percent. As those bills would on the 3d of November have 62 days to run, and as most trade bills are drawn at three or four months’ date, the wholesale traders will be, for all practical purposes, shut out from the Bank of Fngland, If the limit had been 65 days, in- stead of €0, it would have afforded considerable relief.

ALLIED OPERATIONS IN THE STRAITS OF KERTCH. DESTRUCTION OF RUSSIAN TOWNS. A despatch from Admiral Bruat, and a letter from Lieut, Col. Pead, announce that on the 24th September 2 successful attack was made upon Taman and Phanagoria, in the Straits of Kertch. ‘The expedition consisted of ten = boats. Bruat says all the houses at Phanagoria were jestroyed. Sixty-six cannon und four mortars were found at Phanagoria, but were unserviceable, At Taman eleven twenty-four pounders were found buried in the sand. PROSPECTS OF THE ARMIES IN AND AROUND SEBASTOPOL. [From the London Times, Oct. 19.] From the Crimea notbing new is announced. The French seem to have retired from Albat, at the entrance of ihe valley of the Belbek, and to be content to hold the ridge which divides it fiom ‘the plain of Badar. As far as we can judge from the letters of our correspondents, there is, as yet, no certainty of a move; but, as theae communications are dated ten days before the latest telegraphic news, there has been plenty of time since they were written for a renewal of activity. It is pleasing to hear of the health and comfort of our troops and that the preparations for the winter will be such a- to prevent a recurrence of last year’s calamities. ¢ British force at present amounts to 38,000—fully sufficient to ayn the honor of the country even on so wide a fieid. e French are active, and the firing be- tween north and south Sebastopol goes on with spirit. The Russians seem determined to hold their positions, probably more from a feeling of national paide than on principles of sound generalship. It may seem paradoxi cul to say that it is not our interest to drive them ou of the Crimea, but we fully believe that the losses in men and money which the Czar will suffer by a persistence in holaing the present positions will wea’en bis power for any future struggle more than if his generals had re- treated at once. The last deserters have come into our lines ragged and ehoeless, and report that such is the condition of all tieir comrades, Provisions they seem to have in sufficient quantity for thelr wants, but ot clothes and means of protection against the ‘climate, they are nearly destitute. Yet it must se remembered that the difficulties before the allies are not few. The Rustians, in Cad force, avd with a knowledge of the country, hold a central posiuon difficult to be attacked. They can only be operated against effectually by ar advance from lwo or three points at once ani a concen- tet advance of this kind is one of the most dangerous pliins a generel can a Holding timphe: opol as their cen- tral position, the Russians can strike at a corps from patoria or strengthen their line towards the -aouth as it ple es them, and without fear of interruption. An at fiom the south requires the greatest caution, and something of the tactics of a siege. The allied army, though large, is still hardly sufficient for the vast plan of opactions required. A small force advaneing from Eupa- toria would advance only to destruction; immense boties of troops would be necessary to distrac! the enemy suffi ciently to allow any of the southern passes to be force? or to make the detour necessary to tura the Russian 7 sition from the eastward, should that be possiole. We have also to guard the southern side of Sebastop ubich the cremy might reoccupy in a day. All things have, no doubt, been consi?ered by Marshal PMi tier, and have induced the caution with which he ac: Both in France and England there was a general oxpec!s- tion thata campaign would follow immediately on the capture of Sebastopul. That this was also the belief of the governments, and probably of the generale ther selves, is evident from the suspension of telegraphic in- telligence. It is not likely that any commanoer or states man would thus excite the minds of his counti q Without a cause. But nearly six weeks have now ees and we know that the armies are motionless, of have oly teken up positions from which they may commenc: futbre operations, There may, indeed, still be time to strike a blow; but a great deal must now be chance which was before certainty. Rain may set in or not; coll may begin early or late. Add to this that if we have been pre paring, the Russions huve been preparing also. A despe- imte contest must nd it is possible that the inclemency ot the season’ may separate the com Vatants before it is decided. We shall be glad to hear and we still hope to hear, ef a general advance; but should it be resolved to wait. ‘he two countr'es must be content. Much disappeantment wil no doubt be fel’. but it is a subject on which we must take it tor granted tbat a Communder-in-Chief is right. should we wihin the present year gain positions which will insure the destruction of the Czar's building yards as well as his arreral, and render more easy the expulsion of his arn from the Crimea, it cannot be said that the autamn has been wholly lost. SITUATION AND IMPORTANCE OF KINBURN. [Irom the Monitevr deia Flotte, October 17.} + According to the last accounts from the Crimea the army under the comman’ of Marshal Pelissier had already advanced, deepite the difftculties of the groand, 60 kil metres from Sebastopol. It now oceuples positions eom manding the cefiles of Varnutka and Boyuk-Miskom!: whence the enemy retired on its approach. We may ex pect from day to dey some decisive exgagement, which, we are confident, will be followed by the immediate evacua- tion of the Crimea by the Pussiens. While our Isnd forees are preparing for fiesh victories, the allied squadrons, ax we learn from a despatel of Prin Gortechake#f, having quitted their anchorage at Odessa, have arrived at the distance of three miles from Kin burn. Kinburn is a Russian fortress situnte about three kilometres south of Oczakoff, at the extreme end of the Jake which is formed by the slaggi#h waters of the Dnieper and the Bug. What is now the actual deatination of our squadron? Is tt Cherson or Nikolalell they propose to at- No oue yet knows.

The route followed by the different rein foreements arriving from Bessarabia extends along the Jake, and would be completely exposed to our cannon the . moment we should have penetrated into the liman of the Dnieper. The naval ber hipaa hhas thus a most se- rious object to accomplish, the result of which will Lave adecided influence on the subsequent operations of the war, Whether we carry Cherson_ by a bolt coup dé inain (for. though inaccersibie to vessels in conser uence of the shallowness of the water, it may still be taken by a land foree), or make good our ground in the neighborhood of the liman, efter destroying Oczakufl, we elfectually inter- cept all communication between the Rassian continent and the Crimea; we will, moreover, prevent the Russians from building a'new fieet, the hulls of which have heen alrendy constructed at Nikolaieff but which cannot be aimed aud equipped once the arsenals of Glubokoi and COczvkoft and the stores of Cherson are destroyed, A letter from Odesta, of October 6, says:—I hava been informed by persona in the commissariat at Nikolaielf and Cherson that the ge between Kinburn and Oczakoit has been rend quite impracticable. Upwards of 60 boats laden with large stones and rocks have been sunk along the channel over a space of at least two versts, a narrow canal a been left for navigation. Thus vessels Slahing to enter the liman will have to pass quite close to the fortifications, under the ery use of Kivburn. ‘the latter ts regarded as a fortress of the first class, owing to the immense works threwn wp around it since the landing of the allies in the Crimea, The same preetene has been gone through at the entrance of the Bug, which is flanked by two large batteries on either side. All the vessels the Rnesians could ‘ure have been sunk there, and no boat, how. ever light its draft of water may be, can enter the river. Ouly one very narrow pa: pow remains open for the Ruption boats which from Nikolaieff to Cherson, Kinburn, Oczakoff, ond sometimes even to Odessa, on mi- lirsry service; but on the first appearance of danger an ats of feet.

Itis evi that these attacks, whatever may be their object, have not been it to a close, In a few hours we way hear of some more result—in a few days we may receive the news of rand more important operations. Our readers need not be in‘ormed that the presence of the fleet in this quarter some attempt against two fortified to strength of the enemy chiefly lies. at the extreme western point of a forros: bene i mse Ieee hry Al fey oa) Dnieper. opposit Ci ted crake, the capture of which by Catherine gave Foe to a Ce Ks away in our renee 4 tory. jection of these promontories and shallowness of the water leave only a narrow channel, of less than # mile in width, by wi the Dnieper and the Bug can be reached, The water near Oczakoff and Kin- burn is nowhere more than four fathoms in bry wey immediately the gulf of the Dnieper is entered, it ls to three fathoms. About 60 milea east of the entrance stands Cherson, at the head of the delta of the Dnieper, to the north of a of islands, The Bug flows into the of the Dnieper, and about 35 miles up the Bug is Nikolaieff, the build- ing of the Black Sea fleet. Kinburn and Oczakoff, therefore, form the towers of the gate which leads to two cf Rursia’s most important military towns. It has been generally said that sais the storehouse which be plies the Russian armies in We bel notion to be only correct; indeed, a little examination will show that the town does not lie between the chief corn growing districts and the Crimea, and that supplies would be taken out of their way by being carried to Odessa, ‘There is every reason to believe that Nikolaieff, and still more Cherson, are the chief granaries of the Russian armies, or at least that through them one line of the conyoy# passes which heve so ex ted Sebastopol. It is with great satisfaction, therefore, that we learn that this important quarter has been threatened by the allied fleet, and we hope that the Admirals have the means of striking a heavy blow within the present year. It is now evident that the appearance before Odessa was a feint, no coubt intended to draw off troops from Ocza- kof. ‘the allied force on board the fleet is said to con- troops. Teappears tobe a part of the Bits force watoh troops. appears to be a ol whic! has made cis Ja hborhood of Kin- burn; but the results of the expedition will, no doubt, depend mainly on the number and efficiency of the ler vessels, The telegraphic despatch from Odessa a few days since stated that 80 vessels wesc-in sight of the har- bor; it may therefore be concluded that nourly the whole force of gunboats and steamers is _employsd on the expe- dition, Both France and England have lately sent a large number of these craft into the Black Sea, and the last re- corded exploit ia given in our impression of thisday. On the 24th of September Admiral Bruat ‘despatched Com- mander Bonet. with 10 gunboats, a despatch-boat, and a steamer ogainst Taman and Fanagoria, vhich stand near each other on the eastern shore of the Straits of Kertch, This mail force sufficed to destroy the townr, in spite of 800 Cossacks. Every building which could shelter the Russian troops on the Kuban during the winter was demolished,a quantity of cannon was taken, and a great advantage gained, without, as it appears, the lone of a ingle man. The position of Yenikale is by this operation rendered more secure during the period at which the straits nmy be frozen. These gunboats have probably by this time been added to the force off the mouth of the Dnieper. The Emperor of the French sent out during the summer a considerable number of the Rhone steamboate, and their small draught of water will allow them to ascend the stream in spite of natural and artificial obstacles, It may be hoped therefore that the allies will be able not only to reduce Kinburn, but to carry out operations against the cities wkich it protects. The fiosts of the ensuing winter may set in sufficient! curly to retard the work for a time, but the country will be glad to learn that at least a commencement has been made, We trust seon to announce the destruction of both Kinburn and Oczakoff. EXTRA DEFENCES AT ODESSA. An Odessa communication, dated October 6, gives the following particulars as to the defensive works lately erected in that city — Our merchants have observed with some uneasiness that since the firet of this month two of the six war steamers of the allies, which maintained so strict a block- ade here all the summer, have weighed anchor and stond out to sea. The departure of these vessels was attri- buted to an extraordinary motive. It was generally be- lieved that they were eine to meet a for ble naval force about to appear before our city, and expose it a second time to the horrors of a bombardment. The greatest alaym is visible on every countenance, notwi'l standing the air of confidence assumed by the ailitar authorities. If this second misfortune should occur to complete the ruin of our commerce, ths magnificent pa- lace of Princo Wororzoif would be the frst building knocked to pieces by the fire of the allies, Our military engineers have done their utmost to save it from destruction. They haye planted six howitzers on a height clove to the wail which separates the Prinee’s garden from the Boulevard. The thickness of the wall has heen doubled, and embrasures have been opened in it to enable a battery of ficld ar- tillery placed in the Pulace court to play on the assail. ants. Besides the large battery of thirty-six gans erected last April, a second battery, of semi-circular form, con- taining tweive guns, and commanding the rondstend, has been also erected’. itis hoped that the latter will be sufficient to prevent any hostile vessel from entering the military port. Since euramer the wilitary engiaoers have constructed a new battery of twelve pieces of the largest calibre on the ground’ to the west of the colonade, which will sweep al! the approaches in the direction of the Pereslp, There are, bosiggp, at, intervals slong the garden terrace, pieces of heat¥ calibre, which may at a moment's notice be brought forward and form a second flying battery of sixteen guns, Vienna (Oct. 15) Correspontence of London Timos.] juring a very waim discussion, which took pluce last night in my presence, on the subject of the menaced bombardment of Odessa, some remarks worthy of men- tion were made by one of the speakers, whose family bas long rerided in the place. When Admiral Dundas some 15 pnts ago appeared before Odessa, it was, to all intents d purposes, an open city, and might have been destroyed without difficulty, ‘The allies, however, with a human- ity which reflects credit on them, fired at the batteries whick the Russians had erected in defense of the port, snd did not attempt to injure the town,” It wasturther said tbat Odessa is now strongly fortified, and well de- fended by numerous batterles placed d fleur dean, and armed with 36 and 48 pounders. It has been rumored that Admisal Bruat on the 8th made certain propositions to General Count Strogonott, but the Russiens either re- fuse to give credit to the report or express their conyic- tion that the Governor of Odessa will mot assept any ha- miliating conditi The proposals said to have been made by the French Admiral are:— 4 1. ‘lo deliver up to the allies all the property belonging to the crown which may now be in Odessa and in the of that elty. 2. To surrender all the vessels, supplies and materiel of war, 3. To give into the bands of the allies the Quarautine Harber, and to withdraw all the guns from the strand batteries, According to the Frankfort Post Zeitung the Nikolaiei despaich which contained the foregoing intelligence made mention of the appearance of another division of the tleet “sin the bay of Kinburn.”” The partisans of Rugsta aver that the allies would gain nothing by the destruction of Ceesea, “because éappe stations tr the troops could be made at Gradeniza or Dulnick,” which are at a short die- tance from the great commercial port; but they are pro- bably ignorant that Odessa has very extensive barracks, warehouses, hospitals, and an arsenal, which the other ‘two places have not. The person who spoke last night of tie defences of Odessa observed that if the Allies intended to effect a landing there, and then to march to Nikolaieff or Cerskoff, “the bormbardment of the place would be ex- cusable, but under no other circumstances.” A reason which was given why Odersa should not be injured was, that “the war was just as unpopular in that city as it was in the other parts of Southern Russia.”” REPULSE OF THE RUSSIANS AT KARS. From Russfan sources, General Mouravieff’s report and a letter from Trebizond, we have accounts of the repulse of the Russians, with great loss, in an attack which they made on the fortress of Kars Sept, 20. Gen. Mouraviel says ‘At the beginning the attack was successful, but tl sition and numbers of the enemy forced us to . Notwithstanding this and a heavy loss, our troops took fourteen banners and a stand of colors. The blockade of Kurs is re-established. : The account via Trebizond gives more pafticulars, aud states that the Russians were det: ei to raise the si It states that at one time t! ssians succeeded in taking two batteries, but before they had time to turn round the guns, or even to spike them, the Turks rushed nyon them with such vigor as to regain poscession of (he batteries and decide the fortune of the day. The Russian: furfourly repulsed, fell back upon their comrades, wh were thrown into coufusion, The Turks then rashed out of the fortress and massacred an enormous number. This account states that, thoagh a large number of killed and wounded Russians were removed, 4,000 were left dead un der the walis, Two hundred were taken prisoners, and cme pieces of ordnance captared, Several Russian officers of high rank were killed or wounded early in the action, which laste! eight hours. On the 24th Sept., five cays betore this event, 4,00% men of Omer Pasha's army, sent to raise the siege of Kass by threaten ing the Russian provinces of Abasid, Mingrelia, Imeritio, Gorgis, and ‘Tiflis, (the capital) landed at Sau- chum Kale, in Abasia. Their active operations, however, it is understood will be much retarded by the lateness of the reason. The King of Prussia and his Army—Warlike rations of his Me; - (Berlin (Get, 17.)

To what period can the King allude when hia martial aspirations were so much more ardent they have sppeared of later, Was it the 1812-715 cam- paign against the French, where, however, he served with some distinction and won his first spurs?
