Protection to abrogated as thy, r.:griculture, though permanently presiding principle of commerce, is still the pet system of a minority. Discarded by the nation and thP, Legislature, it is still cherished by a faction. We are not surprised at this ; it is in the nature of things. Just as it was natural for the staid old, gentlemen of a century ago to stick to those ram shackle conveyances, the heavy mails, in preference to a modernized stage coach ; and as it is natural for some nervous old ladies now-a-days to patronise the high road and to vituperate upon the perils incident to railway travelling, the protectionists are terribly behind their generation : they are precisely in ;Is ludicrous a position in advocating the commercial policy now exploded as a man would be in nprvosing the inductive philosophy of BACON as ol'Ameeical, and in pinning his credence down to the unprofitable disputation of the Peripatetics as bene• fic;l.l. It would be equally insanity to waste two syllables in endeavouring to convince either of those disputants of their error. They are beyond argu ment. A passage from the De Augmentis would ' nrnim as inennolosivA to the b Aristotelian as a passage from one of COBDEN s luerr orations would prove inefficacious to the protectionist. They are equally beyond the reach of systematic reformation. The children of this age can entertain towards them not one particle of sympathy. Their emotions, ideas, lamentations, and hopes, are so entirely of another and a more remote - generation, that we can only listen to their harangues with astonishment, and describe their movements as we would those of some Anthropophagi, "or men whose heads do grow beneath their shoulders." The long-promised demonstration of the gratitude entertained by this agricultural minority for the exertions made by Lord GEORGE BENTINCK in the House of Commons has taken place in Lynn Regis, the borough which claims the honourable distinction of having returned the Noble Lord as its representative in Parliament. 'We have no inclina• tion whatever to ridicule the proceedings even of a minority as suggestive of the ludicrous as that of the protectionists. We turn to the cir cumstances attendant upon this demonstration, and the sentiments expressed by its orators with feelings of curiosity and commiseration rather than of scorn or aversion. We are neither surprised at seeing a party of civilians solacing themselves after a most crushing discomfiture by a kind of lachrymose banquet, or to hear the Member for Lynn and the Duke of Ricumosin repeating those common place phrases by the utterance of which they have already committed themselves almost beyond the pos sibility of reparation. It would absolutely amount to brutality to cast derision upon them for a proceed ing so thoroughly rational and so thoroughly English. It is simply following the recommendation of the drolls in the carnival, "And now, gen tlemen, having played the fool, let us go to dinner!" Neither is it a matter of astonishment that among the speeches delivered upon this occasion some infusion of nonsense was traceable. NAPOLEON is said to have been, after Waterloo, bereft, to a considerable extent, of his powers of judgment and rapidity of perception, for which at other moments he was so remarkable. Can it, there fore, be surprising that Lord GEORGE BENTINCK, after the signal victory of free trade, should betray some deficiency of the qualities which he displayed in Parliament ? that he should forget his charitable and lenient remonstrances with Sir ROBERT, his mild epithets, and rose-water rhetoric ? Where ACHILLES failed, surely THERSITES would not prove victorious ! The Noble Lord was unusually discursive in his oration. In this particular, however, he merely fol lowed the example of the Noble Chairman, the Earl of ORFORD, who in about ten minutes had in formed his audience what the Doge of Genoa said, when he visited Paris; that twelve months ago the late Premier had been their trusted leader ; that flags had been unfurled metaphorically, and very shabby tricks played substantially ; and that the dinner given by a few Mister Smiths and Mister Joneses, of Lynn, was exceedingly like some compliment paid by somebody to General VARRO, of the Roman legions, after the battle of Canna). In emulation of this very desultory style of oratory Lord GEORGE BENTINCK acknowledged the enthu siasm with which he had been welcomed by his con stituents, in a speech of considerable length, embrac ing almost every imaginable topic of political small talk. He entreated the yeomanry of England just to compare himself (Lord G. BENTINCK) with Lord J. RUSSELL ; by that adroit adjuration letting the said yeomen into the secret, that the Noble Lord, the Member for Lynn, was prepared, if necessary, to sacrifice himself for the good of his country by taking office. In this pert and clap-trap sentence Lord GEORGE was peculiarly felicitous, and experienced the most gratifying encouragement from his listeners—listeners, whose cries of " We won't, we won't," and "We will, we will," remind us of the famous Old Dozey of MUSDEN. Of the flagrant abuse lavished again upon the late Prime Minister, of the platitudes uttered again upon the burdens of agriculture, the necessities of a protective system, the selfish machinations of the cotton lords, and so on, through the whole catalogue of protectionist logic, we shall say nothing, because we have already said more upon those sub jects than they really deserved. We are gratified that this banquet has taken place, and trust that many others of a similar character will follow— first, because they cannot possibly do any harm ; and, secondly, because they stimulate trade among a few bakers and butchers, and afford one evening's em ployment at least to a few destitute fiddlers. During the course of Lord GEORGE BENTINCK'S me morable speech, on the 4th of August, eighteen hundred and forty-six, he uttered one great and indisputable truth. "It is said," observed the Noble Lord, "that we (the protectionists) have dis gusted the people of England !" Lord GEORGE BENTINCK is both a wit and a philosopher; he has condensed an eternal truth into seven words. The debate on .Monday evening, on Captain LAyARD's motion, was remarkable for the unanimous feeling that existed, on all sides of the House, for the necessity of some alteration in the plans by which our military affairs are regulated and carried on. The able and convincing speech of the Gallant Member, on introducing his motion to the House, most clearly demonstrated the existence of abuses of the most se rious description. When so great a dislike to the ser vice is created in the mind of the soldier that he will, unhesitatingly, accuse himself of the most serious crimes, and prefer even transportation itself—a punishment the most weighty and formidable that can be inflicted for any crime, with the exception of capital offences—when in too many instances he will have recourse even to mutilation or self-murder, in order that he may escape from the stringent severity of its discipline—there must be something radically wrong in the management, which demands non, to b e the most care f u l cons id era ti on , the most anxious at t ti given at-roAtii:DiY a suggestions ppearst o for have its amelio ration. m maturelyeli o- ration. Captainweighed the various points, and to have brought his military experience, and a cool, reflecting, well-dis ciplined mind, to their consideration. He thinks that the enlistment should be for a limited period, for ten years, and that if the soldi,r has acted worthily during the time , he should receive his p a y f or six months after his term, and that if he re-enl,ted within a cer tain period, s ay two yezir..• and served eleven years longer, he should be entitled to the old rate of pension, name ly 10d, a day if pa a muid state of health, and Is. if reported unfit for service by proper medical I authority, and that if he served on, his pension should I be still further raised. We cordially approve of the I suggestion. If adopted, it will afford, at least to the soldier, a prospect of being one day released from his irksome duties, and being restored to his rights and privileges as a British subject—a hope that will cheer and sustain him, that will enable him still to struggle on during the residue of his term ; it will go some way towards inducing a better class of recruits to tender their services, and remove the temptation to desertion which has hitherto unfortunately been so prevalent in the army. The human mind is naturally buoyant, and while a fair hope presents itself of an improve ment of condition at a future time, however remote, will preserve its elasticity, and undergo any present hardships and privations; it is the total absence of that hope that induces a feeling of recklessness and despair, most injurious to the in dividual and to the service to which he belongs, which leads to the most horrible scenes, the most degrading and harrowing punishments. But much must be done for the soldier besides limiting the period of his com pulsory service ; ho must be educated, his comforts must be attended to, a cheerful employment an amusement must be provided for his leisure hours. The condition of the soldier, in place of being worse and more irksome than that of the labouring man, must be so far raised above it as to afford the strongest inducement to the sons of small farmers or tradesmen readily to enter themselves, and to regard their discharge as a serious misfortune, instead of a blessing to be looked forward to with the most pleasing anticipations. It may be said that such changes would be productive of much expense to the nation. 'We do not believe that such would be the case; on the contrary, we are satisfied that the addi tional expenditure, if any, would be very trifling. But, even were it otherwise, there are few Englishmen who would permit a , nivideration to obstruct the attainment of so great a blessing to our 1111114 ca., __ A which is but the performance of an act of common justice towards them. Schools should be estab lished in every regiment, by which the blessings of education would be placed within the reach of every recruit, the majority of whom are attested at ages when they might well be at school. Every soldier should be taught at least to read and write, with a knowledge of figures or accounts ; he should be in structed in some trade or handicraft, by which, in the event of his discharge, he may be enabled to maintain himself, and which would enable him use fully to employ his leisure hours, and to earn a small sum, a portion of which he might be permitted to expend in the obtaining of additional comforts, the residue to be invested in some sort of savings' bank, to form a fund to start him in business on his leaving the army. All this might easily be done without abridging the time devoted to the active duties of his profession, and a re.• source would be afforded to him which, in a great many instances, would keep him from the can teen, the fertile cause of insubordination and outrage, ending in grave and formidable punishment, to which he is by the present system driven from the want of an occupation for his leisure hours, and the want of comfort in his barrack-room. Libra ries should be provided in every regiment, to which the soldier should have access, and from which he would be permitted to take books under certain regulations. The petty vexa tions and annoyances which irritate and provoke the men, without any corresponding advantage to the service, should be, as far as practicable, removed, and the first care, the principal duty of the commanding officer, should be to promote, as far as in him lies, the happiness and comforts of the soldiery. Let this be done, and the abominable and degrading practice of corporal punishment be abolished, and there will be no difficulty in procuring the number of men re quired s • nay, many that offer themselves will neces sarily be rejected—a good character will be required before the new recruit will be accepted. The same anxiety to get into the army will exist that exists now shown to procure a situation in the police, and a better class of soldiers will be obtained, which on all hands is admitted to be so desirable. Besides, in the event of a war unhappily being forced upon us at any future period, we shall have a body of men trained to arms, and acquainted with military discipline, ready to offer themselves for the protection of their country. These are considerations not to be overlooked, and well worthy the consideration of the Legislature. The attention of the Government, we are happy to find, is turned to the subject, and we think that Captain LAYARD acted wisely, at this late period of the session, in leaving it in their hands for the present. The Levant mail has arrived, bringing intelligence from Constantinople and Athens of the 20th, and from Malta of the 24th ult. On the 19th, MEHEMET ALI arrived in Constantinople, and was received in the most distinguished manner by the SULTAN, who stood up on his approach, and then conducted him to a chair close to the throne. A modification has taken place in the Turkish Ministry, by the appointment of RiZA PACHA to the office of Minister of Commerce. At Pera a fire had broken out and destroyed 100 houses. The British merchants of Constantinople have presented an address to Sir STRATFORD CAN NING upon the occasion of his departure, expressive of the gratitude they feel to him for the uniform attention which he has paid to their interests. The Chamber of Deputies of Greece were engaged in a discussion on the budget, and the COLETTI Mi nistry had suffered two defeats in Committee. The most frightful brigandage prevailed throughout the country. The Prince DE JOINVILLE and his squadron were in the Malta roads on the 20th. The Malta Times of the 21st publishes the following, which is highly complimentary to the Prince and his officers : " We have been requested by Captain Burke, of the mer chant vessel Dewdrop, to return his sincere thanks to his Royal Highness the Prince de Joinville, and to Captain E. Penaud, of the Pluton steamer, for the following act of cour tesy, during a time of need. It appears the brig Dewdrop, laden with sulphur, left Catania, in Sicily, four days ago, but meeting with a heavy sea, - rolled away her topmasts, and sprung a leak. The Prince making out in the distance the distressed vessel, immediately ordered the steamer Pluton to her assistance, and yesterday towed her into the Grand Harbour, where she arrived with five feet water in the hold, and the crew much exhausted from the fatigue of pumping. The Pluton having left harbour last night before Captain Burke could acknowledge his gratitude, he begs, through the medium of our columns, to do so, hoping it will meet the eye of these to whom he feels so much indebted." We are sorry to find that a collision has taken place in the Roman Legations between the Swiss troops and the people. It is to be hoped that the POPE will follow out his original intention, which was overruled by Lamnßuscum and the serviles in th• Council of State, and will dismiss the Swiss troops from his service. A letter from Ancona of the 23d ult. says— " In all the towns of the legations, and particularly in this place, at Bologna, Forli, and Cezene, the inhabitants, as soon as they were informed of the amnesty, were anxious to tes tify to the new Pope their gratitude and their affection, by illuminations and public rejoicings. It is to be regretted that at Cezene and at Imola these demonstrations were ac companied by events which disturbed the general joy. There are at Cezene two parties, between whom a deep feeling of animosity has long existed, one composed of the retrogrades, called Papelixt, and the other of the advocates for progress, or liberals. The Fapelins under the reign of Gregory XVI., supported by the Government, evinced their power on several occasions over the liberal party. The latter, since the acces sion of Pius IX., wishing to make a striking manifestation of the triumph of their opinions, menaces and provocations were frequent on both sides. At length a time and place was fixed on to settle their quarrel by arms. The Swiss troops in garrison at Cezene wished to prevent this collision, and used some efforts to disperse the liberal party ; but they were met by a discharge of firearms, and in the struggle which ensued four men were killed and a great number, principally inhabitants of the town, seriously wounded. Some days after the colonel of the Swiss regiment in garrison at Imola was fired at, and severely wounded. This act is considered as one of revenge on the part of the liberals, who still retain their former hatred against the Swiss troops in the Papal states. In fact, public opinion throughout all the legations appears to demand, as au act of the most urgent reform, the cessation of the treaties which exist between the Holy See and the Swiss Cantons for the supply of troops to the Papal Government." Letters from Rome, of the 28th ult., state that at a consistory, held on the 27th, Cardinal Gizzi had been formally appointed Secretary of State. We learn from the Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort, that the King of DEtimAßa has returned the address transmitted to him by the States of Holstein, on the subject of his MAJESTY'S proclamation for regulating the succession. His MAJESTY, in returning the do cument, notified to the States that it was not compe tent for them to present to him any address on the subject of the succession to the Duchies, or of their political situation. It is supposed that the States will appeal to the German Confederation. We find in the Augsburgh Gazet6C a letter from Alexandria, dated Julyl6, which states that the object of MEHEMET At in visiting Constantinople is to endeavour to induct:the SULTAN to change the succession to the Vicercalty of Egypt, by substi tuting ABBAS PACHA, h: second son as his successor for IBRAHIM, on whom he succession is at present settled. We find in the ame journal the following on the affairs of the Caucsus : " Schamil alone has beentble to collect together 4,000 cavalry. The forces of his pidecessors have never exceeded 8,000 in all, and the war hadiever been carried on with any regularity. Schamil is novi at the head of 20,000, and his appearance •ith such a five has spread consternation throughout the country. 'be inhabitants of the capital of trans-Caucasia dread a visit From Schamil, but up to this time he has not attempted By expedition of importance. The Kabardes have not deed to declare themselves for Schamil, although his arrivl amongst them has caused great alarm. Prince 'Woronaw appears to attach great im portance to his line of forts, but it is considered by many that they will be of no utility. Since the last excursion of the Tchetchenzes, a great nurber of places in the Caucasus have declared in favour of :chamil, but all the tribes pro tected by General Sabadowsk have remained faithful to the Russians. Schamil's plan wil be to retire before any large force. The Russian columns ire at this time marching on three different points against him. Nothing, however, can be known of the result of thesummer campaign before Sep• tember next." Letters from Lisbon, of the 23d ult., state that the Queen of PORTUGAL was cn that day safely delivered of a Prince. IBRAHIM PiCIIA, who arrived in the Tagus the same day, atteided the Te Deem which was sung in the Cathedral on the occasion. Madrid journals of the 30th have been received. The announcement of the alterations proposed to be made in the sugar duties by the English Cabi net, had produced a considerable effect at Madrid. The plan of Lord JOHN RUSSELL was spoken of by all parties in terms of unqualified approbation. The Clamor Publico publishes a letter from Senor OLOZAGA, declaring that he had never supported any project for marrying the Queen of Sraist to Count TRAPANI. Mr. BULWER, the British Minister, was so seriously indisposed that his physicians had recommended him _ 4',„. +hr. — ,, ,ntrv.

MADRID BOLSA, JULY 30.—Three per Cents., 34 cash; Five per Cents, 22k; Passive, 64. We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. They are almost exclusively occupied by the details of the elections. In the second arrondissement of Paris on the second scrutiny, M. JACQUES LEFEBVRE, the Ministerial candidate, was defeated on Monday by M. BERGER. The Legitimatists have, in almost every instance, been beaten, but the parti pretre, the legitimate successors of the GUISES and the League, who would fain establish a sort of sacerdotal republic, have succeeded in returning the Abbe DE GENOUDE, the proprietor of the Gazette de France, for Toulouse. The Cote Gauche have sustained some severe losses ; among them that of M. CORMENIN, who has been defeated at Joissy ; MM. BEREYER, LEDRU ROL LIN, L'HERBETTE, GEORGE LAFAYETTE, DE TOCQUE VILLE, GUSTAVE DE BEAUMONT, LAMARTINE, Onmorz BARROT, &c., had been re-elected. M. GUIZOT was returned at Lisieux by 523 out of 561 voters. General DE LAMETIT, the oldest officer in the French service, one of the LAMETIIS of the first revolution, had caused himself to be carried from his sick bed to the hustings of the first arrondissement of Paris to vote for the son of his old friend, CASIMIR PERIER. Up to six o'clock on Tuesday the result of 419 elections were known in Paris. Of these the Ministerialists had gained 276 ; the Opposition 143, leaving a majority to the Ministry of 133. The Ministers have, up to the present re turns, increased their former majority by 40. It is calculated that the majority of the elections remain ing to be decided will terminate in favour of the Ministerial candidates. On the Bourse it will be seen public confidence was con firmed by the certain triumph of Ministers in the elections. The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on Monday at 83f. 50c. ; the Five per Cents., 1221. sc. ; the Orleans Railroad Shares, 1,275 f.; Rouen, 973 f. 75c ; Havre, 6901.; Great Northern, 697 f. 50c.; Avignon, 875 f. ; Vierzon, 615 f. ; Bordeaux, 547 f. 50c.; Troyes and Montereau, 365 f.; Paris and Strasburg, 4851.; Tours and Nantes, 496 f. 25c.; Paris and Lyons, 507 f. 50c. ; Lyons and Avignon, 485 f.; Bordeaux and Cette, 485 f.; Spanish Actives, 34; Spanish Three per Cents., 36 1 /.;.

MR. AND MRS. KEELEY S BENEFIT.--The benefit of Mr. and Mrs. Keeley takes place at the Lyceum this even ing. For the last two years they have catered most judi ciously for the public amusement, and to their credit, be it recorded, they are the only managers who have ever been able to manage the Lyceum. The Bill of fare comprises An Object of Interest, which the benellcuuresever will be to the lovers of the drama, and that the house will be crowded there cannot be a doubt, seeing that Nell Gwyn n an d R o bi n H ood and Richard Cceur Lion will all appear on this occasion. Joking apart, the Keeleys deserve a bumper, and they will have it.

The total number during the week in the Serpentine alone was 15,700. REPRODUCTIVE LOAN FUND INSTITUTION IN IRE IND.—The second annual report of the corporation of the Irish Reproductive Loan Fund Institution, presented to Par liament, was yesterday issued as a Parliamentary paper. From the general statement, it seems that the aggregate fund for 1845, in trust of the ten county boards of trustees in Connaught and Munster, was 66,786/. Ss. 70. The doubtful debts on the 31st of December, 1845, were 1,585/. 3s. 7d., leaving the available fund in 1845, 65,2011. ss. 00. The stated good debts on loans on the 31st of December last were 58,897/. 16s. Id., and there was in hand in savings' banks, and funded by trustees, on the 31st of De cember, 1845, 6,3031. Bs. 10id. By the remarks it appears that sums have been advanced contrary to the conditions of trust. It is shown by an account with the trustees in Ireland and the Governors of the Corporation of the Irish Reproductive Loan Fund Institution, on the 31st of De cember, 1845, that three sums amounted to 67,5861.85. 7id., which three sums are accounted for on the credit side by the good debts—money in savings' banks—doubtful debts, and 8011. as balance of the late trustees for county Leitrim. The report for the year 1845 bears the signature of Mr. John Abel Smith as chairman. ACCOUCHEMENT OF THE QUEEN OF PORTUGAL.—A letter from Lisbon, 23d ultimo, states that the Queen of Portugal was on that day delivered of a son. Ibrahim Pacha arrived in the Tagus on the same day, and was present at the Te Demo performed In the cathedral on that occasion. WINDSOR, TUESDAY.—It is a curious fact, that during the time the storm was raging most furiously for many miles round Windsor, especially on the south side of it, a small portion of the Great Park, also on the south side, escaped it altogether. Whilst for many miles around, the rain was "pouring in torrents," as the phrase goes, and hailstones, as large as good sized horse-beans, were rattling down in such quantities, that cart loads of them might, in some places, be taken up an hour after they had fallen—not a single hailstone, and only a very slight shower of rain, so slight as not to penetrate newly dng ground more than a couple of inches, descended on that portion of the park, commencing at a line drawn from Cran bourn Lodge, frem west to cast, accross the middle of Queen Anne's Ride, and ending at Hudson's-gate,at the top of the Sheet-street-road —a space of little more than a mile either way. On Tuesday Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest at the Elephant and Castle, Ring's-road, Camden-town. on the body of William Dorset, aged eight years. It appeared that on Satuniay afternoon the deceased, who resided with his parents in Cambridge street, Agar-town, was playing with some timber, piled tip in a grossly ensafe manner, in the immediate neighbsurhood, When sod denly the upper log, several tons in weight, slipped, and fell upon the child's head and upper pat of the body, crushing the poor little thllow perfectly flat. It is needless to add that death was all but Instantaneous, and that on the removal of the log a frightful sp,-e -tacle presented itself. The coroner and jury had some Discussion as to the question of deodand, but it being ascertained that the spot where the occurrence took place was private property, Alt. Wahley expressed his conviction that there would be great difficulty in en forcing one. The jury ultimately, under the coroner's direction, re turned a verdict of "Accidental death." • THUNDERSTORM—PARTIAL DESTRUCTION OF ST. GZOIIGE'I3 Cneracti, LEICESTER.—On Saturday last this town and noighbourhood were visited by one of the heaviest thunder-storms, accompanied by the most vivid lightning that has been known for years; the rain descended in such torrents as very quickly led to the streets been completely flooded, and the damage done to property in Humberstone-gate, Belgrave-gate, Brainstone-gate, and other parts of the town, is very considerable, the water rushing into the cellars, and destroying a great portion of the goods therein deposited ; but the most lamentable occurrence was the total destruction of the beautiful octagon spire belonging to St. George's, or the new church, in Rutland-strcet. The lightning struck the vane and passed completely down the spire to its base, when the entire fabric fell, breaking through the bell chamber, and carrying away the bell and floors of the chamber and belfry, alter which the upper part of the spire fell in a perpendicular position on the ground floor, whilst some of the large stones forming destroyed brae became theebeamr detached, a,,d staauncda staircase, e alli b n u g t on each ,titselidyetohfc bOuryorg d a ii eft o , extend to the organ or any other portion of th e church.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was firm, and the sales were 7,000 bales. Shares were supported generally. There is very little business in progress in the City tl is morning, the state of the weather almost entirely precluding out-door operations. It is still satisfactory to Lind that according to all accounts the progress of the harvest has not yet been impeded to any material extent by the storms that have prevailed for now nearly a week in various parts of the country. We are informed that in Nottinghamshire considerable damage has been done to the crops by the hail storm. _ In our paper of Monday there appeared a full report of the first meeting of the shareholders of the Liverpeol, Manchester, and Newcastle Junction Company, to which we would direct the attention of our readers. This amalgamated line gives rail way accommodation to a most important district of country, and shortening as it does the distance between Manchester and Newcastle by opening a direct communica tion between them, it will, undoubtedly, become a line of the utmost commercial importance, for every one is now fully alive to the fact that, in all commercial transactions, a saving of t ime is a saving of money. We have not any late Colonial arrivals to announce to-day. Several advertisements have appeared in The Sun of sub scriptions to a fund in aid of those who have suffered by the calamitous fire at St. John's, Newfoundland. We are assured that the Government are alive to rendering as much aid as possible, but to the generous public do those who have lost " their all" look up to for prompt aid. It is known that a special session of the Legislature of Newfoundland had been called to take measures for affording relief. The following extract from the opening speech of the Covernor of the colony does credit to the heart of his Excellency ;- 1 " Much as the losses of the mercantile and the sufferings of the labouring classes claim our sympathies, yet should our deepest cormnisseration rest upon the middle classes, who, accustomed to comparative ease and comfort, find themselves and their helpless families suddenly reduced to a state of the most absolute destitution. Every effort de pendant upon the local government will be made and is making for their relief, and that of the lower orders ; but even under circumstances so apparently desti tute, and with a scene of such affecting desolation before my eyes, still do I indulge in a sanguine hope that if promptly aided by the benevolence and liberality of the British people, of the Legislatures and people of the neighbouring colonies, but, above all, by the British Go vernment and Parliament, not only will the present distress be at once alleviated, but the fine site of the capital of this ancient and valuable possession of the British Crown, which, as a commercial town, may be said for the present almost to have ceased to exist, will again be occupied by buildings of so secure and durable a description, laid out upon a plan so judicious and well-considered, as at no remote period to con vert the calamity which is ROW pressing so heavily upon its inhabitants, into a great and inappreciable blessing." As far as England is concerned, there is every reason to stern exigencies of the 'demand. The Consol Market has been rather more firm this morn ing, at 9618 for the Account, and 95% to 96 for transfer. Bank Stock is a shade lower, namely, at 208%. The Re duced Three per Cents. and the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have also receded a fraction. Exchequer Bills are at Bs. to 12s. premium. India Stock is at 260 1 / 2 .
