This may scarcely be understood by these who judge of the quality of such stock by the prices reported in our local markets ; because the very fiat dam seldom if ever ere shown in a public market ; nor would they be parted with by their owners unless discovered by search throughout the county and lured away by high prices. One or two of the first dare may be seen in almost every dairy; and many farmers who compete at oar exhibitions have a snieb lerger portion ; and latterly, 'hue !ISOM sad MsWy aempeYttams became frequent, meek IMMISIN•11111 bees gem is les& only those calves et Sell paßpse es bath dies when an extensive •egtlee 111111161 the county, the likely stocks are pretty dimly seiassd, as was the case a Om weeks ago, whoa two Swedish gentlemen, assisted by Mr. ll'ffrigor, Bitten (one if our most successful prise takers), selected 100 two-year-old guys, in calf, the average price of which was not lass than 131. each, and a couple of very fine two-year-old bulls. The first draught of 50 were sent off by rail last week, cut Edinburgh, Berwick, and Newcastle, for shipment at Hull, and the remainder passed through Ayr to the rail early this morning. So beautiful a flock of young Ayrshire stock is a rare 'milt, even in Ayr shire. These Swedish gentlemen, who have purchased freely in former years, en now pretty good judges themselves. If the animal shown plumes, they seldom stick about price; but if the quality does not reach their standard, they decline to purchase, however cheap.

The political news is rather important, as there has been manifested on the part of the cabinet a disposition to advance the work of conciliation, or at all events to conduct the administration of pub lic affairs. upon more legitimate principles than those which influenced the late governments of the country. As an earnest of their inten tions to promote administrative reforms in high places, the government has published the following decree, from which it would seem that the number of public einpl‘iyis is to be reduced, and that henceforth those only are to be selected, who, regardless of party influences, are found best qualified for the offices in which they are to be placed : Senhwa! The s xperienee of fourteen years has made evident the urgent necessity of, once for all, fixing the num ber of eisplsyis in all the departments of the state, reducing them to the strictly indispensable number, suppressing some, simplifying andconcentrating the service in others, and adopt ing means fir choosing the most capable public servants in astute, of flung the salaries at an amount which will harmo nise with the means et the disposal of the treasury, and will be, at the same time, sufficient to secure each indivi dual's independence ; and, finally, of establishing the guarantees to be enjoyed by those who are legally appointed. It is time to make known that public appoint ments are not to be the exclusive apanage of the chiefs of the different political parties into which Portugal is unhappily divided, and that they should cease; ones for all, to be the recompenes of services rendered to those political parties in despite of higher services rendered to the throne and the country. It Is time to show to the nation that merit and integrity are not vale words, but the most essential qualities to obtain entrance into the service of the state. It is time, fi sally, to guarantee to intelligent and honest eseployLS the povession of their legally acquired poets, where they have nerved with honour, and the hope of a htare recompence both to them and to their families. To obtain this. results we have the honour to submit this decree.

The dismissal of the Chartist volunteer battalions has been in discussion between the government and the representatives of the allied powers, Sir H: Seymour and the Baron Varennea considering that the dissolution of this force is requised by the protocol, while the majority of dos cabinet think otherwise, and are prepared to 7rather than submit. Upon this subject the .tr u aea, a Cabraliat publication, says : " The English minister requires that the battalions be dis solved. The Spanish minister will not, for the present, sign the note. ' Sir Seymour' insists : our government is divergent on the point. This fate of the battalions, defenders of the Quest and the charter, hangs on a thread, and with it the triumph of the Patnlea. Chartists, alerta ! If they take their arms from you, within eight days you will be assassinated. Enough of suffering nudge the English yoke ! Be bold, and England will re spect us." Between the Cabraliets and the Mediae& Chartist party there was no mitigation of hostility. The moderate "third party" was making Isms arand had been joined by several of Costs ars ' adherents. The Royalist party had decided to vote independently throughout the kingdom, and would neither pledge themselves to the Saldanhistia on the one hand, nor the Septembrists on the other. We have some further particulars of the cap ture of Count Bemfim, by Captain Dyke, of her Majesty's ship Flying Fish, from which it would appear that on the first arrival of the Flying Fish at MOMS.. medes, Captain Dyke was favourable to the escape of Count Bomfim, and was disposed to allow one of his officers to take charge of the schooner in which the count and his party were, in order to navigate her to St. Helena. Such is represented to have been the state of Captain Dyke's feelings early on the morning altar 21st May, but, having submquently communicated with the late governor of the settlement, hie intentions became altered in the course of the same day, as we collect from the following extract of a letter tram Angola, which supplies particulars of what aglow quently took place : At about three o'cl ek, p.m., Capt. Dyke sent three of his boats to the schooner and came up with his brig clam to her, as If to seize her. The count, seeing this extraordinary pro ceeding, immediately went on board the brig, cud told Capt. Dyke (who up to that time treated them very kindly), that if his intentions were to take possession of the schooner, both himself snil his companimui would consider them selves entitled to the protection of the British flag, and not as prisoners, not being at war with England—ha nog besides claimed his protection, on his arrival in that bay, that be might save the lives and liberties of all those who were on board the schooner, since, by its capture, they would all be rived of the means of escaping from the hands of their , cal enemies. They were then posed to the English ' , Captain Dyke taking charge of the schooner by send ing sous of his seamen , and a midshipnnn, to take her to Leann, as well as Lieut. Correa, one of the liberated officers. Come Bointim then deemed it his duty to address him in writing the following letter: "Sir,—As you appear to have considered it to be your duty to take possession of the Portuguese war-schooner Consalbo, in which I was, together with my companions, by which we all remained without the means of escaping kettle persecutions of our political enemies, although not having any desire to oppose your proceedings, as, if even greater in fora, our intentions never were to fight wain the British lisp, nor dose it now belong to us to decide the Present question—l deem it, however, to be my duty to claim from you, as I hereby do, the protection of bar Bri tannk Majesty's flag, that my life and liberty, as well as those of my companions, may be guaranteed by you ; and also that Oar baggage and private property on board the said schooner be delivered over to tit —May 21, 1847.

All the members of the deputation wore present, ex- , met the mayor, who was unable to attend, owing to barbs- , position. The deputation returned by the mail train, which reached Gat ahead at 12 o'clock last night, and the follow- • ing is given as the substance of what transpired : The members of the deputation were personally intro dueed to the Chancellor of the Exchequer by Mr. Bell, M.P., who stated that the object of the deputation was to represent to the right hon. baronet that the monetary moo which aMicted most part of England, and which had been mot severely felt during the month of April last, was now again apprehended as likely to be felt in a similar, or even greater degree, than at at any former period; and that though Newcastle end the north of England were not so much affected as other places, in consequence of there being no speculative business car ried on there, yet it was feared that the present stringency and threatening aspect of the London money-market might increase to such a degree as to cause a with drawal of the usual facilities to commercial transactions, and that, if seclia contingency should arise in this portion of the kingdom, the danger would be very considerable, in con sequence of the great staple trade of the district being cost mining and iron making, which required the payment of lave sums of money in weekly wages, the suspension of which, by throwing large bodies of men out of employment, would create very great confusion and disturbance. Mr. Bell was particular in explaining that the trade of the dis trict was in a sound state ; that railway apeculatios had hardly existed at Newcastle ; that there had been no large speculations in corn there; and that there had not been a single failure arising from the pressure of the times; and that it was because the trade of Newcastle was as yet in a sound and healthy state that the trading community wished to take such steps as would prevent the evils which, from the riesealallat• of monetary end mercantile affairs, they were led to apprehend. Mr. Bell concluded by introducing Mr. Armstrong as the vice-chairman of the Chamber of Com merce, to whom be referred fur any further explanation. Mr. AIIIMILONG said, he had very little to add to the ob servations made by Mr. Bell, in all of which he fully con curred. The object of the deputation was not to enter upon the question of the monetary system of the country, or offer any suggestions as to any course that it might be desirable to pursue, wishing to leave these matters entirely to the consideration of the government. Re repeated, that the trade of Newcastle was not a speculative, but a routine trade; that it was yet in a sound and healthy state, though many of the consumers and smaller tradesmen, it must be admitted, had suffered from the crisis of April last; and from the fall in the value of their goods consequent upon the monetary fluctuations. At present there was a feeling of alarm lest the general pressure should so increase as to lead to the with drawal of the facilities now afforded to commerce, the effects of which in this part of the kingdom would be of a most seriors character. _ The Cita:maxims of the Exensienna said he did not coesidu there was any just cause for the apprehensions which the deputation and the mainsail's body in Newcastle appeared to entertain ; that the Bank of England had not limited its diacounts; that he could sasses the deputation, that as far as he knew; and fully believed, it was not the in tention of the directors of the Beak of England to limit diseeeentesa they had done in April, or to resort to any other I aatmeasures ; that he felt confident the wont was and he thought that the alarm which at present would epeedily =beide. flipipt•iimbers of the deputation stated that the con daft tie>Baak of England had pursued towards the coca menial Interest of Newcastle had bean marked by great Jedgmeat and liberality; that in consequence of the new aside adopted by the Bank in the classification of bills a cer tain quantity of unexceptionable paper was necessarily ex cluded from discount, but that upon the whole the public of Newcastle lead reason to be very highly satisfied; that some pressure certainly did arise to this district from the gurtail ment of the usual facilities generally afforded by other Lon don houses to merchants and brokers in Newcastle, arising from the late serious failures, and the want of confidence consequent thereupon, but it was more from an apprehen sMn of the extent to which the pressure might be increased than anything which actually existed that rendered it in cumbent on the mercantile public of Newcastle to inform the ministry, through the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what the consequences would be if such a contingency should arise. The Cnicircatsoi of the EXCHEQUER attributed the high rate of interest, and the diminution of capital to the compe tition of railways with the commercial interest, and also to the speculations of many large merchants which had been erroneously calculated. It was urged by the deputation that the circulation of the Bank of England was cow only 17,800,0001., while when at the highest point of last year it was nearly 22,000,0001, the diminution having operated very seriously upon the prices of goods, creatirm a 611 in the value of all produoe, and causing very serious lose to the community in general ; and that from that Ices Newcastle did not entirely wan?, though affected' in a wanner much less than other places, in conaequenoe of I its trade being a routine, and not a spec ulative one. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, he considered the deputation had confounded the distinction between capital and circulation, and that if there was a diminution of capitol arising front the export of:= to pay for pro duce, that was a void that was to be in the course of trade. . _ . With regezd to a diminution of the capital of the *sentry, the deputation exyressed their opinion that the capital ex imiag wee quite sufficient for the operatic= of useaserce, but that the evil arose from the want of auliflease !aspired by the knowledge that such mighty Uttered. mess &pendent upon accidental variations in the reserves of the Beak of Eng land to a very trilling extent, and that this nassetainty ope rated so as to destroy confidence on every, the difl im itest, ap pearance or even apprehension of a probable faun= of the Bank reeerves,—and thus, by destroying confidence, had the effect of making the holders of aspital keep it locked up In place§ where it was immediately ecosesible, Instead of allowing it to take its usual channels in the operations of commerce.

Sir,—ln the fi,cs remarks I wish to make on Mr. Davidson's second. letter en this subject, in your journal r the 16th, I will 'mdcavoez to he as brief as possible fir s t thanking that gentleman for the courteous exprerais in which he enrolee to myself. It &Prue -to me whether the company kern a goalie; station at Cape York or Port Evaington it mint a include at first so large a number of penises arra be able to protect themselves in any part of Arleen& Even at Port Essington the party must be low enough to build sheds and houses, to make garden% to superintend the string, Re., of their own provisions, to make a coal-whaef and very long jetty, in short to do everything for thiamine'. Such a party (say of, at least, twelve persons) need have no (car of any open molars tion from the natives at Cape York, whom we always found mon tractable. A night retry ass watchmen would of course be necessary, for which pospose those elms hands would be amply sufficient. It would shortly be timid necessary to have at least that number at Port Essington to take the place of those is hospital. The bet of its having a hospital and medical man is the principal mammy whir Port Essington has at present over Cape York. I very naturally mistook Mr. David's& to mesa by the word ',quieten " such settlers r are so termed In New South Wales, gentlemen of property, rearing sheep er cattle over large unsettled districts: Taking the word, how ever, to denigrate such persons as the Chinese round Sins* pore, I must still doubt whether the neighbourhood of Port Essington is adapted for them. I have seen about as much of one place as the other, and it appeared to me that as far as the richness of Java sur passed the ordinary fertility of Singa pore, in the same measure was that superior to the abso lute eternity of the ground (for It cannot be called boil) around Port Embers. la speaking of - Port Essington as a place of 003112311C. 1 ea& Ago Oro kr tioE Wig* orasolo forAstelteal haver an error as to the grounds oa which they expect to become such. They have likened It to Singapore. Mr. Davidson says "Singapore produced nothing forthe first ten years." But what was the cause of the rapid rise of Singapore ? Not simply the establishment_ of a tree English port in • good harbour or roadstead. It was because that establishment was placed in the centre of rich and commercial nations, area at • point where from the iMplyes g i cra l eatmtraa fi deurbe ti t eft of tete, tCrinbZu'aendgthiee seas an d ian archipelago, was compelled to converge. The daily track of shipping penes (and meat peas) through the very roedetend of Singapore, or at least within sight of the merchants' houses. Any vessel wishing to take in or discharge cargo can do so at Singapore, without diverging from the direct route between the principal marts of that part of the world. It consequently became the resort of all the native craft that wished to bring commodities or take them away. It is a corner shop in the narrowest part of a great thoroughfare, and must needs do a thriving husinem. Why has not the Dutch free port of Rhio risen like Singapore Chiefly be cause a vessel has to go out of her way, slthough but a little distance, and pass an intricate bit of navigation in order to get at it. The very same objections apply to Port Essington (see " Voyage of the Fly," vol i., page 363). It is true neither the diner fior the distance are sufficient to deter any vessel that ban an object in touching there, but they are just enough to decide her again st it when balancing chances. I do not see, then, what is to commence a trade at Port Easington, who are to go there, and what they are to go for. In the MO of Singapore, a greet trade and the elements of a greater existed all round it, both close at hand and afar off. It merely settled at that point se soon as it was able to do so. It did so formerly under the old Maley or Javanese state of Singhspora: it has done so again under the English rule. I do not at all mean to place Cape York and Tones Straits on • level with the town and straits of Singapore ; but I must say there is a far greater analogy between them than there is between Port Fringe= and the latter place. Even as it is, all the trade traversing the neighbour , tug seas must pug close to Cape York ; an establishment there then would at ore derive all the benefit that is to be drawn from ail passage. It could, at least, supply noels with wood and water. It would also be 'a corner shop in a thoroughfare, although in a very small huckstering sort of way compared to the other place. The countries around it, however, are either desert as Australia, or uncivilised as New Guinea; and I do not see, therefore, how a native trade could be commeoced either at Cape York or Port Essington until those circumstances are changed. I dare say a small schooner, or perhaps two, might drive an advantageous trade from Port Essington, among the Arroo Islands, or about Timor Laut, or Ceram, and thei south-west coast of New Guinea, but net is a very different thing from such a rumens as that of Singapore. I world just add, in referents to the last pangnprof Mr. Davidson's letter, and Dr. Lang'. scheme, that all the parts of the north-east ewer of Australia which we saw north of Endeavour River were to the last degree sterile and desolate in appearance, and from their geological and -geographical convatution must almost necessarily be so. To the south ward of Endeavour River the land is very rugged and moentainous issdr& m Rockingham Bay. Narrow stripe of good well-watered land there lie between the hills and the sea. Captain Stokes reports favourably of Halifax Bay. There seemed to be good land behind the Mangroves, near Cape Upstart, but the tract from Whitsunday Passage to Broad Sound (just within the tropics) was the most fertile and inviting in aspect of any part of the coast of Australia I have seen. _ . . I think Mr. Davidson and myself quite agree on all main points ; and, after all, the details hero entered into will be best deeded by the company's experience after a short trial. I fear, however, I have trespassed too long on your space. J B. Jolt's, Sept 19.—Geological Garvey, Yspytty Evan, Denbighshire. NEW ZEALAND—THE COOK'S STRAITS SETTLERS. Mr. Editor,—l intend that my correspondence shall close with the present article on the subject of • can. pensations" demanded from the New Zealand Company, by a elms of persons known in the colony, and described in • very recent despatch of the governor's, as " agitators and land speculators"—let. My object has been to show that the document published in your journal is not the expression of the respectable colonists established in any of the New Zealand Company's settlements. 2. That the funds sub scribed by the proprietors of the company (360,0001.) have been applied in the way required by their charter and approved by the crown, for which they were to have an award in land equal to four acres for each pound sterling. If then, it is admitted that each amount has been ex cried, tbe company are clearly entitled to a crown grant Acres 1,400,000 Also 25 per cent. profit on sale of land to the eolo nists, taken at 300,0001., would make a further claim of 75,0001., from which rum must be de ducted 46,0001. paid to the proprietors for a dividend on their capital at venous times, would leave the rum of 30,0001. for a farther award from government, or Total acres Deduct sale of lands at the Wellington settlement sores 127,859 Ditto at Nelson settlement T 108,489 Ditto at Plymouth settlement 260,691 Acres 1 289,406 In August, 1845, the Colonial Secretary of State (Lord Stanley) granted to the company, in full satis fact ion of all claims on government to land in New Zealand acres 1,300,000 Deduct for native reserves 1,262,040 Or less than what they were entitled to by acres.. 7,368 Now if the directors had received an award from the crown on the remaining sum paid by the colonists for the land sold them of 225,0001., the amount assumed u nearly correct, it must be clear to every ore they should have had an award for 900,000 acres more land then they ponies, before the colonists can claim on the more of the expenditure of what they term " trust money " belonging to them, or in which they have an interest. This pert of the case you are pleased, Mr. Editor, to de scribe as the most gone and important part, which I have endeavoured to render easy to be understood by the fore rdzatateseent in twee, and as they are ell from the records, do not admit of disputers it tonere., then, that the directors hold no lands whatever to compensate or satisfy these parties from. I shall leave any further consi deratton of the subject to those who take any interest in the matter to satisfy theeedves on what false grounds these claims are peremptorily demanded from the New Zealand Company.—W.

I —Past& COMMERCIAL 4. MARKETS. aiONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE. Half pa st Oes.--Every thing wears • tranquil appearance in the City to-day. The Bank board held their weekly court, as is usual on Thursdays, but the meeting was an extremely short one, and the rate of discount has been left undisturbed. In the absence of further advice!' from the United States, now, it is to be presumed, near at hand, no alteration was however, expected. The steamer is not made due by the Fust office till the 30th instant, but intermediate, or indirect accounts may probably come forward In advance of the Boston packet Caledonia. The Indian half -monthly mail is diie, and, considering the some what critical state of affairs at Canton, at the date of the last departure from thence, unusual importance is attached to the intelligence now looked for. In the meanwhile, it may be remarked, that, although the Bank authorities can hardly be expected, with their gold and silver and reserved note returns so low as they are, to venture to reduce their charge for discounts and advances, the brevity, of their deliberations to-slay was certainly a &vorer able symptom, inasmuch as it would argue that the directors have no very urgent matter upon their hands, as was the case a week ago. In the stock mark;te the most perfect calm has prevailed all the morning. Consols, 85i to 6 for money, and 86,1 to 1 for account. Exchequer Bills, ss. to Bs. premium.

And yet, ander the inspiration of the Brussels meeting (which seems also to have been little understood in this country), this notable recommendation has been going the round of the London press for a week back. This is surely presuming too much on the confidence which readers are apt to repose in a daily organ of the press. A great deal is accepted by the public at the too ha bad. The their favourite lecturers; but this is rather The whole experience of two unexampled years seems thus to have been completely thrown away. It was in vain that the available sources of information allowed us to trace the fearful visitation of famine that has passed over us to its source—in vain was it declared at the time, and proved by the fact of stocks left on hand this autumn, that scarcity was the com panion of the petite culture, and that the coun tries which could share with those in want were such as tilled the land upon a comparatively large scale. The notion was certaudy unpalatable to writers who Lwere desirous of inculcating t there was a scarcity of glum in England. Let such as maintained the famine cry now settle their accounts with the public that has not only been terrified without cause, but also mulcted as a result of the panic—let them settle, too, with the unfortunate speculators who took their words for the scantiness of the supplies that we might expect from foreign countries. But their readers have scarcely forgotten the de scriptions of the sufferings of the Belgians. The offi ' cial statements in the chambers, on which the suspen sion of the corn duties was founded—the prominent , in the midst of the general suffering, which figure Flanders made—must be fresh in many . recollee- SODL Bands of starving individuals leaving their homes by tens of thousands, overflowing Brabant, and _ invading the capital, whence they were systematically removed to their homes by the frightened police; , subsidies voted by the chambers, in addition to muni ficent local sabecriptions ; soup tickets daily issued, and bread tickets distributed amongst a rank above the poorest—were all described and commented upon, with more or less unction, by those who seem to be unconscious of what they have done. Flanders, we need scarcely state, is divided into two parts, the one of which is peopled more densely than any other agricultural district of Europe, since it numbers 727 inhabitants to the square mile. The surface of East Flanders, containing 299,789 hectares (799,473 acres) was divided, in 1839, into 802,263 allotments, belonging to 137,791 proprietors. The average sire of properties was, therefore, , 11-13th aces, that of the allotments was under 1 acre each. West Flanders has 325,449 hectares, in 662,345 allot ments, belonging to 79,788 proprietors. The main difference between the two is, that the people of Bart Flanders endeavour to live upon the produce of their wretched allotments, which they till to a great extent with the spade : the inhabitants of West Flan ders have the greater part of their land under grass, and produce the butter, for which they obtain a good price in the London market. • Were there no corn-laws in Belgium, the West Flemish would soon amass capital by the simple rule of baying cheap and selling dear, and their eas tern, neighbours would be glad to follow their exam le. But as there are many circumstances el in the condition of East Flanders and of d, the way in which the corn laws affected both countries, which are by nature fitted to produce articles valuable for export, has as yet been the same in both. In other respects the story of the two people has long been almost the same. The summer devoted to tilling their potato gardens or small corn fields, the winter eked out with hand spinning and hand weaving. A fell crop found every man's barn full, and no market value for produce. A failure threw every one into distress, for there was nothing to fall back upon. In both countries', however, a foundation is laid for progress ; and to derive the due benefit from a change Ireland need not look to Flanders, but rather Flanders to Ireland. The natural course of things will, how ever, bring the people of the two countries nearer to those of England. It is by abandoning the spinals,' wheel and substituting machinery on the one honk and throwing down the Riede to bike up the plough er tetbe on the other, that both must be rege nerated The intelligent and indefatigable secretary of the society for promoting the growth of fax in Ireland was at the Brussels congress, and recom mended, by a series of detail taken from the expo rienoe of lome few years back in Ireland, the system now pursuing in that country, which has not yet been adopted in There, all put hope in restrictions and in protecting duties. But East Flanders, of which few people know anything, is the fit example for all lovers of petty farming. The congress was not, as some of our contemporaries effect to believe, an idle attempt to get up an opportunity for spouting political economy. Belgium is in too sad a condition to have tolerated an exhibition in such execrably bad taste.
