Ile could not, however, at Nees. in but observe, that the complaint against the rates was, in his opinion, well founded_ IVheit the charter was given, the Coinirony was laid under a restriction never to divide more than 10 per cent. on it. capital. There could he no doubt that the intention of this restriction was to 'stereo% the Com pany f laying cm rates which would give • greeter profit than 10 per Celli. and that if the produce ex ceeded that amount, they should reduce the rates. Hut, instead of doing that, they had accumulated an enormous aunt, he understood nut less than 500,000/. Whet was intended to he done eith Unit suns he did nut know. To divide it among their stockholders, he thought he might without presnuoption woo ttttt ice to be illegal ; to return it to the merchants from whom it had been taken in the shape of rates, was quite out of the question ; and lie saw no way by which it could be disposed of without some regulation by Act of Parliaineut. 11'8111 respect to the question of the renewal of the , chatter, he saw no reasons why the consideration of it should not be put off till next year, if Govern ment had not made up their minds on the subject. In the mean time, it would be ►asy fur them to give it their attention, and conic to some deterintur.. tiou as to the way its which they would dispose of it. Mr. C. Loan said, that the Docks were con structed with a view to the protection on the ►ermine. as well as of private property, which bad before been touch exposed to plunder. The purpose of protecting the revenue had been completely answer ed, and the revenue was collected in the Docks at a much less expense than the same amount of reveller in any other department. These were eon sideratious which weighed strongly in favour of their continuance. After • few observations froin Mr. Aldermen HETGATE, the Petition wail brought up and read. Mr. AloaavArr then said. that in any new regu lation which might be made relating to this Com pany, the protection afforded to the revenue and to private property, which the Right Hon. Gentleman had alluded to, ought cestaioly to be taken into the fullest ennsideratiott. The Petition was ordered to lie on the table. LINEN TRADE.

The following is what we base gathered :—A grenadier of the lith rsgitisetit of the royal gourd, ui garrison at Versailles, re quested ilerinission of his Colonel to go to Paris. He stopped at the Bois de Bonlogne, where he passed the night, and set off th e 0 , ;x : day, at nine o'cluuk io the tnornitig. He met several countrymen its the wood, when lie fmced to utter seditious cries by threatening to shoot them ; the countrymen gave iisformation to the girarsl basing the inspection of the wood. They inimedisiely permed the furious soldier, whom they found bran dishing his and declariog loudly that he Waited for the Duke d'A newsier's., fur the purpose of killing hint. After some resistance the guards seeurrd him, atu! carried Isms isefore the Mayor br .Bonloirsie, who committed him to the Prefecture 'of Police.

The Paris Papers of Saturday lu►t, which have arrived at our office, determine the official charge ter of the Austrisir Declaration. which appeared in our Pallor yesterday. This important document— important more from its avowal of the resolution adopted by the Allies than fur any justification which by ita reasoning it can offer fu► their violence —was originally publiilied on the 13111 of this month iii the Vienna Court Gazette. l► is there fore to be considered as the Manifesto not only of the Austrian Government against Naples, but also of the Russian and Pius Min Cabinets. If the intelligence contained in these Papers respecting the movement* of the hostile armies in Italy be correct, the campaign will probably soon commence. An article from Florence states, that the first col of the A ustiiin army, consisting of 6,000 infstitry. 2,030 cavalry, sad two batteries of artillery, entered that capital on the It'll, and fitted its march on the 13th to Sienna. It was to be followed immediately by five or six other columns of equal strength, and in the mean time a second Austrian army, nu less formidatde, was said to be advancing towards Naples, through the Marches of Urbino and Ancona. We know not how this rapid advance of two such powerful armies can be reconciled with the protestations of a pacific disposition on the part of the Allied Sovereigns, er with the good faith winch they profe•s in thrir dealings with Naples, unless, indeed, that some apprehension might be entertained for the security of Rome from the enterprising arms of the Neapolitan Commanders, or of the partisan corps which abound in the Neapolitan service, and drat three Austrian troops are thus pushed forward to protect the Iluly City and the patrimony of the Church from falling into the power of IL.. Carbonari. Souse of our Treasury writers have the hardi- I Ito say, that the Manifesto of the Austrian Goverranent " makes out et case" to justify the measures pursued by the Allied Powers. There are try few persons in this country, we are firmly persuaded, or perhaps in Europe, not immediately interefted in the maim:Moaner of old abuses, who thick so. Even the British Ministers, although they somewhat too plainly strewed the disgraceful toils which they have suffered the despotic Govern mews of the Coutioent to entwine around them, were too eon.rous of the tendency of public opi nion in England upon the invasion of Naples, to hazard one expreri.ion in Parliament beyond a strict soul funnel &fenny of thick oystem of non tr,dity. On tvety side of the linuse of Con:mons was the egvession Ho the part of the Allies con demned, so that the majority tfat voted on the side of the Ministers upon the question for the production of certain documents, did not by any means juftify the conduct of Austria. With re spect to this ArestriTri Drelantion, it is in itself contemptible iu point of composition and reason ing, it is fraught with erroneous statements and inconclusive arguments ; but the Emperor of ~ f Au;sTat♦ lately told the Professors of the Lyceum at Laybach, that he wanted not learned men within Ina territories, he was not to be served by the pen but with the sword, and this Manifesto was written with this feeling, that if any part •f it required explanation, the commentary was to be supplied ►y all army of 100,000 men. It would be an illy Malt to point out the fallacies end absurdities of this precious document ; but we feel with the Phitirio place of old, who declined to press an advantage which he had obtained in some intellectual conflict with an Emperor of Rome, .‘ that it is useless to argue with one who hat the command of thirty legious.7 Austria tell. Naples that if she yield not to such arguments in the first instance, Ru.sia and Prussia will unite to convince her that the Allies alone are able and willing to ensure the 111. 1 1_ piners of her people. We know of no argument that can be urged against this species of logic but brave hearts and strong arms, and if the accouoss front Naples prove true, the Neapolitans are not indifferently prepared fur the disputation.
