Ladies and Gentlemen, SINCE I last had the honour of addressing you on the 17th instant, two ether vacancies have occurred in the Direction of you: affairs, by the retirement of John Bebb and James Pattison, Esqrs. for which a Ballot is fixed for the 6th and I 7th of April. I beg leave, however, respectfully to state, that it is not my intention to offer myself as a Candidate upon either of those occasions, but to proceed to the Ballot at the General Elec tion, on WEDNESDAY, the 14th of April (on the vacancy occa sioned by the death of Sir Robert Farquhar,) when I earnestly entreat the favour of your Suffrages. The grounds on which I rest my pretensions to your support, are, that from having been long and extensively engaged in mer cantile pursuits, and having presided for several years as Chairman of the Shipping Interests of this country, I have had ample means of acquiring that commercial knowledge and experience, which, it is thought, should be possessed by a portion, at least, of those persons selected for the management of your affairs ; more espe. daily at the present juncture, when subjects of the utmost conse quence to the trade and interests of the Company urgently claim their attention. In conclusion, permit me to assure you, with the most perfect sincerity, that I am fully sensible of the deep responsibility at tached to the important trust which I thus venture to solicit; and that should I, through your kind patronage, succeed in ob taining this object of my ambition, which the very flattering assurances of support I have received on my canvass give me every reason to expect, it shall be the business of my life to endeavour to merit so honourable and distinguished a mark of your confi dence, by the most diligent and faithful discharge of its duties.

MR. OWEN'S EYPOSE. A 9 SUBMITTED TO THE BRITISH GOVIERXXENT—(Continued ) It thus appears that new preliminary arrangements are required for the three classes, which would Iv a : a : t each as large a portion of these conditions as their present and other existing cir cumstances, which cannot be changed in this generation, will ad mit. Respecting these arrangements, a diversity of opinion, arising from the variety of feelings and habits which the exist ing system has produced, may be anticipated but a steady ad. !service to the principles of human nature, a nd attention to the conditions requisite for man's happiness, will speedily remove these difficulties. It is not only true, as bas been before observed, that there is in the British dominions a vast superfluity of means, to afford to the whole population, when those means shall be wisely directed, a full supply of the best of every thing for human nature; but it, is also n fact, that the existing generation has not been trained in a manner tolallow it to partake fully of these enjoyments. To fit mankind for a better state of existence, they must be edu. cated, from infancy, in the knowledge, dispositions, and habits which; would be given to them by the new moral system. For the present generation, therefore !preliminary or compromising arrange. ments will be the best suited. These arrangements, however, may be so formed as to secure for the adults, without too great a change of their present habits, the means of continued improvement end great enjoyment, together with the best education for the children. Until the overwhelming effects of an education founded on a knowledge of the laws of human nature shall be witnessed, the public will be incompetent to judge of the practicability of permanent arrangements to secure to all individuals dic k :e l : lll 3 every thing for their nature ; for it is, at present, impossible that the public mind should form a just estimate of man's latent powers, which, under the existing immoral system of falsehood and insin cerity, cannot be called forth ; but which, under the proposed change, will, in every instance, be made available. It is from this source, chiefly, that abundant means will be ob. mined, to create a superior order of beings, and a superior state of human existence. For it is the rational faculties of the human race, which, in their infancy, have hitherto been unavoidably de stroyed by the immoral system of the past aces. These faculties could not exist, while mdividuals were taught, falsely to imagine, that each had the power, within himself, to be.. lieve and disbelieve; to love and hate at his will; that there was individual merit or demerit for entertaining particular opinions, or for loving or hating in opposition to nature; that individuals were, thezefore, responsible for their thoughts and feelings, and deserved present and future rewards and punishments for them; and while they were obliged to believe all the inconsistent jargon which was necessary to make a system, founded on such inconsistent notions, in any degree defensible, admissible, or practicable. With such a foundation for the formation of the human character Lud hitherto there has been no other), it is impossible that a human ing can have yet existed wbo has not been compelled, from in. fancy, to become irrational, and to continue so to the hour of his death, by the circumstances which, through the effects of this illCOThe sistent system, hale been formed around him, throughout all ages, in every rank, and in every country. From the writings of out an. mown, therefore, no knowledge can be derived, except that of simple facts. The past history of our race, as known to us, is no more than a developement of a period of human existence when, under the influ ence of an immoral system, generating universal disunion of mind and feeling, contest, counteraction, wan and massacres, human be ings were rendered irrational and unsocial. Under the new weal system none of these evils could have place; but the put will be An everlasting memento of human sufferings, which, by a compari son with the then existing condition of man, will always add to the enjoyment of the new state of existence, in which these sufferings will be wholly unknown, except as a matter of history. The new preliminary arrangements, Intended for the existing division of Alsace in society, consist of a new combination of cir cumstances, calculated gradually to withdraw the individuals cam. posing these classes f. the Irrational and unsocial state in yid& they now are, so as to render them, with the least loss of dine, cam. parativel superior beings, and to tit them, as much as their present habits will admit, for the enjoyment of the yet unknown pleasures of a rational existence. INTRODUCTORY OBSERVATIONS. Relative to the proposed Preliminary Arraniemnts, ually to relieve the British Population from the Evils (mora4 political, aced commercial) under which they are now suffering. It having been proved that man is ignorant or intelligent, vicious or virtuous -..0r, in other words, irrstional or rational— es the ebasacterof the education and other circumstance h a rwri l l he is surrounded from birth, it is apparent that the means of ras h doing him virtuous and happy is to withdraw the unfavourable or isusenal circumstances its which he has hitherto bean placed, and to create another arrangement, in which the cirararstances shall all be of a truly moral character. To effect this,. the prineiplos of bump MOM and 0 0 8 P 3 halbek requisite for Its happiness, which hen already been 'toted, must be thorriugidy understood. • Proceed ems bowie* of these laws, ki Pre ~teed so develops arrahalliPS lee the Bris iiiliegh by which the. unfewoonable or humempl acute. steam which sow surround all clabesS, may be Seeasen7 dim& Woe a decided, gm* esietindwa mid. all_ rib& eVißkiat this chimp mlight be.speedily ;ol mitts weer mum.' ; bet; trait NON a yevilisiss agiskalk °NM' bb MI& owe Akiwg z t tt _re* pawky' ks pomp stain M sioffgaidia.

The harbour of Constantinople has been quite gay. The Turkish ships of war tossed off in all variety of colourt, and exhibiting other demonstrations of joy, in consequence of one of the Sultanas giving birth to a son on the Bth ult. The etiquette of the Eastern empire requires that in the event of a Prince being born, that the ships of war be kept fully decorated betwixt the hours of sunrise and sun. set, and that they, together with the batteries, fire three Royal salutes each day during seven successive days ; the first salute to commence on the sun's peeping over the eastern horizon, the second on the coming to the meridian, and the third ern his last appearance in the eastern hemisphere. The same cere: mony hs to be observed in the case of a Princess tieing born, but only to continue for three days. It is the youngest of the Sul. tanas that has diffused such general joy over Constantinople, lay thus giving an assurance that the Royal Line of Blahmoud is likely to be stretched over future generations. She is about 19 year. of age, a Circassian by birth, and said to possess great personal chanuq. The Sultan is vapidly giving way to the improvements of the age; and has so far conquered his Mahometan prejudices as to admit medical gentlemen within the walls of the Harem, and thus for the first time in the annals of the Seraglio, one of the Sultanas was attended by two professional gentlemen, a Greek physician anti a Frank accoucheur ; these gentlemen were about a month in attendance, during which time they were never outside the Seraglio walls. When the physician made his report to the Sultan (here they never publish bulletins) announcing; that the young Queen and the Royal Infant were quite well, his Sublime Majesty addressed him by his proper name, a thing unprecedented, for whenever the Sultan or any other lowly Maltometan addresses a Greek or Christian, it is always by the epithet Giaour, that is Infidel. Well, the Sultan most condescendingly addressed him by his proper name, as thus, " Stephano, I am well pleased with your conduct; Town to your friends, they will be glad to see you." He then pas tied Dot tor Stephens anl I is colleague with purses of considerable value (ot e treach), & a arena' them to return to their re. spective hems. The admission of medical gentlemen within the walls of the Harem, or to the presence of the ladies, may be considtred as one of the boldest measures that could be adopted towards effect ing a moral reformation in the manners of the Mussuhnans. But the chief Turks in and about Constantinople are fast emerging my of the dark sea of ignorance and superstition in which they have been so long engulphed. His Sublime Blajesty sets the good ex ample ; so, instead of the turban, the long unwieldy garments, and the loose yellow slippers, he is now Nan In the pleasing costume ot a well dressed English gentleman, and even patronises Warren's blacking. Ile has recently established a uniform for his navy, and by which he has gained great popularity. Indeed his majesty is very popular in the neighbourhood of Constantinople; but at Atkia nople, and other places distant from the capital, he is now con ddered as being little better than a renegade, because of the manner in which he is conforming to the habits of Christian Europe. The Blonde is expected to remain in the neighbourhood of the Black Sea whilst the Russians who have one line.of-battle ship, at large frigate, and two sloops of war, continue there. Those who are best acquainted with the virtues of the Rev. Mr. Wolff are the most competent to judge of how far the public should place faith in the following prophecy, which 'has been written I.y that Learned Divine at Limasol, in the island of Cyprus, o n the 21st of December last, and particularly addressed to the house ot Black and Co. at Constantinople. After going through a long pre amble expressive of brotherly affection, and congratulatory salutation on the proximate advances of the fulness of time, the Rev. Gentle. man Ms up his warning and prophetic voice, as thus : At the same time I have to announce to you that, as the Loan Jesus CHRIST will again appear on earth In the year 1847, to gather together the Jewish nation from all quarters of the weld to bring them back to their land, great judgments proclaim already the mighty coming of the Loan in glory and in Majesty. 1. A revolution will break out very soon in the city of Constan tinople, and fire, death, and destruction shall be its fearful cumpa. nions • so that England will be obliged to keep her fleet in the neighbourhood. 2. Wellington the proud will be terribly punished, far !teeing admitted into power the Beast. I mean the Church of Rome. 3. There shall be heard soon, very soon, of famine, tempests, destruction of ships, earthquakes, and pestilences, in divers places. L The Jews shall rise in divers places, and proclaim salvation by a crucified savlous. Blessed are those who hear now the name of Joseph Wolff, and turn to the LORD JESUS CHRIST ' the ZINC of RINGS and LORD of Lou's, with all their heart and mind, and submit themselves to the crucified SAVIOUR, in order that they may be saved. 5 Sultan 3fahmoud, thou art a great man, but the war of Rus sia has prepared thy death; another shall usurp thy place. 6. There will be great disturbances in Oreece and in Ireland. Dear friends, dear friends, I wish to save you from destruction ; especially you good inhabitants of Constantinople, and therefore L write unto you this exhortation and prophecy. Believe in J CHRIST and you will be saved. JOSEPH WOLFF, Apostle to the Jews. PORTSMOUTH, APRIL 2. The North Star, 28, Capt. Right Hon. Lord Wm. Paget, /11. P. went out of harbour this afternoon.

Their Lordships have alto directed thagthe masters of the following trodes—brickla er,ropenutker,rigger, millwright, painter, and mason—be dispensed with, retaining only muter smith and master saihnaker, as vacancies may occur. A fore man of the said trades is to perform the duty on a day-pay not ex. ceeding 12s.ed. per day. All officers under the rank at Foremen of the Yard, that hereafter may be appointed, are to be placed on a similar establishment of day.pay. The ultimate- consequence of this mangement will be a reduction of artisans. and labourers in this dock-yard to the number of 1,610. We are, however, gratified in stating that the reduction will not arise from any discharge, but that it Will be effected by abstaining from Cling upeacsocies **big , from superannuations under ordinary circumstances, or by death or other casualties.
