Viet., 7th." In accordance with the above resolution, the Directors are pre pared to receive oilers of the whole or part of 100,0001. in sums of 1001. and upwarev4, at the rate of 4% per cent. per annum interest, and for periods five, seven, or ten years. The Capital of • the Company is 500,0001. in 25,000 Shares of 201. each, of which stun only Si. per Share is intended to be called up ; the uncalled cap itnl, 375,0001., remaining as security to those who may lend money' to the Company for the specified periods agreed on. Under no eircronstances.will the amount of money received on de posit exceed the amount of Share Capital uncalled, which of itself will constitute a. complete guarantee for the re-payment of deposits or loans made to the Company. But in addition to, " and distinct from it, the Depositor will have the entire investments of Share and Loan Capital in Canada as a collateral security, and in no case does the amount lent upon mortgage of land exceed half the marketable value of the property appraised by competent persons. Thus if the Debenture Debt be 375,000/., equarto - thennealled part of the capi tal, and therefore the largest sum that will be raised, it will be se cured by mortgages for 500,000/. on real estates of the value of at least 1,000,000/. There is a get ieral registration of deeds relating to Land hi Ca nada, which em tbles the Company to ascertain with certainty the state of every ti tle offered to them in security for Loan.

She was then returning down stairs, when within nine feet of the passage, which as well as stairs, throughout the building are of stone, she was observed by Mr. Caudlain, the manager, to miss her hold of the band-rail and fall forward to the bottom, on her right side and head.

The continued accounts, of high prices on the Conti nent of Europe produce effect on Mark-lane, or rather they produce a' contrary effect to what .might have been expected, that marke4 being quoted Is lower againyesterday, and dull at the decline. Meanwhile, imports are on a moderate scale, and codsumption goes on upon our own crop. The following is a comparison of the imports into Hull to the present date of 1851 and 1852 respectively : —Wheat 1851, 24,845, 1852, 1,530 ; barley 1851, 28,922, 1852, 14,917 ; oats 1851, 915, 1852; 2,537 ; beans 1852,'• 4,453, 1852, 18,498 ; peas 1851, 1,382; 1852, 1,152; tares 1851; 1,836, 1852, 289; linseed 1851; 28,523, 1852, 49,405.; rapeseed 1851, 685 ; 1852, 2 46 oil' cakes 18.51054, 1852, 1,046 ; bones 1851, 1,794; 1852 , 1,033 guano 1851, —, 1852, 1,200. We had only a very small show of farmers' wheat at market to-day, which met a good sale at about the prices of last week, no disposition being shown to follow the decline. in Mark-lane. The current rates paying were 39s to 40s for 631bs wheat. Foreign, with the exception of a few small lots 'of low quality for export to Belgium and Holland is rptite neglected, being worth morn money in eithet; Hamburgh or Danzic than in the English market. In fact, wheat that has been lying with a commission house for about three years on Hamburgh account, is just ordered to be re-shipped to that city. Only a slow dragging trade for barley, but the market is getting somewhat relieved by the prompt landing of some portion of the .recent arrival. A consumptive sale for beans, of which Egyptian are the only supply ; the quality now offering afloat is very superior. In oats, except for seed, or in peas, no transaction worth recording. The linseed market is very firm, but cakes are unaltered, with a steadysonsumptive demand. Rapeseed would fetch our quotation, and rape cakes are •scarce and dear.

The Duke of Northumberland's second captain's ap pointment has been given to Captain Granville Gower Loch. C.B. (1841), who has been selected to command the Winchester, 50, at Chatham—it is said, as flag-ship for the East Indies, to relieve the Hastings, 72. Cap tain Loch is one of the luckiest officers in the British navy. He entered the service so late as 1826, the year in which 46 officers in the navy - were made lieuteaants, and are lieutenants still, and nine officers made com manders and remain on the list as such. Within seven years and eight months he became a lieutenant—that is, i n 1833. Re served at home as; flag lieutenant at the Nore, and in fitting out the Vanguard, 80; and for these services was made a commander in 1837, having just served the required two years to make him eligible. He then qualified himself for his captain's rank in command o f t h e Fly, 18, and Vesuvius steam-sloop, on the South American and Mediterranean stations, and was accord ingly promoted to his present rank in August, 1841, thus having advanced from the cockpit to post rank in less than eight years, and within 15i of having served afloat for all his steps—just about the same time as many of our first lieutenants have served :as lieutenants in succes sive ships without promotion. As a captain he served as a volunteer, as extra aide-de-camp to Lord Gough at the storming of Chin Kian Foe, in 1842, and commanded the Alarm, 26, in the West Indies for three years, during which period he was decorated with the order of C.B. for a skirmish at Nicaragua, having been more lucky than the captains at Malud a, where much greater loss was sustained aguinst•the pirates, and those captains who were engaged in the late bloody affair at Lagos. The Winchester is Captain Loch's second ship as a captain. Commodore Martin's squadron., it is said, will come to Spithead iu about a mouth. The gallant Commodore is on leave, and the squadron at Queenstown is under the command of Rear-Admiral H. M. Dixon. We are sorry to report that an accident which is likely to be fatal took place on board the Arethusa, 50, Captain T. E. Symonds, at Portsmouth, fitting alongside the jetty. Jackman, captain of the maintop, fell from the top to the deck, where he was so much injured that he was taken away insensible to the hospital at 'Hasler, and we regret with very little hope of his surviving. Arrogant, 46, screw-frtgate, Captain R. S. Robinson, will be docked at Portsmouth to-morrow. Blenbeina, 60, screw-steam gtuird-ship, Captain W. H. Henderson. C. 8., has embarked her additional de tachment of Marine Artillery at Portsmouth. Simoom iron-screw troop frigate, Captain Kingcome, will go out of Portsmouth Harbour for a few hours' trial cruise to-day, to test her machinery. Mr. Duncan, the able inspector of machinery afloat, will superintend her trial, and will also accompany her on her trial trip to Scilly.

" Britannia, 120, Captain Goldsmith, with flag of Rear- Admiral Deans Daudet), C. 8., arrived here yesterday morning, and on entering the harbour saluted the flag of Sir William Parker. At 8 sat. a signal was made from the Queen, flag-ship, Captain Wise, for all captains to repair on board, and, half an hour later, Admiral Dundas visited her, when the captain and officers were severally introduced to him, the Queen manning her yards on the occasion. " After the visit, which lasted but a short time, he repaired to his own ship, and shortly after quitted her for the shore, under the salute, from the Fort St. An gelo, due to his rank.

Many well-qualified gentlemen have given the committee the advantage of their knowledge and experience in such matters. Among those examined was the Duke of Northumber land's agent, Ur. Taylor, who is well versed in the col lier trade, and Mr. Knight, a large owner in the fruit line. One of the Trinity-house pilote, 'a person of great experience, and who is frequeutly honourkl with the escort of the royal yacht when making sea excursion!, has - al - teer-gi-iten-tastimouy of some valuable experiments made by him between the month of the Thameti and the Downs. The system of showing coloured lights when on different tacks seems to be favoured by the whole of the evidence adduced, but they are not to be fixed lights, like those of sea-going "ealiiers, f or 'the reason that such would be almost useless as a prevent i ve ag ainst col lision, from the circumstan ce o f many of the co lli e rs and coasters being small, and in th e water the rolling of the yessel, and the low position o f the lights on the s ide of it, would cause them to be more, often, th e n otherwise , concealed from view. Small lights, somewhat similar to the lanterns used by policemen or guards on the rail ways, it is stated, were de emed best adapted for sm all vessels, to be in readiness t o show the red or green di sc , according to the tack th e y may happen to be on. N o difference of opinion exi s t e d as to vessels at anchor hav ing a white , light at their mastheads. The part i cu lar system of lighting that will b e adopted cannot be state d until until the committee have made their r e p o rt, w hich they will do shortly. APPOINTMENTS.

It will, as far as the royal navy is concerned, do, the Country some good, Awhile the Pro tectionists are in office, they will show that it is prac ticable to regulate the business of public offices without constantly pushing brothers, nephews, and cousins into every vacancy that may happen to fall, or making new posts, - or seizing on inadequate pretences for promotion, if such vacancies should not occur with sufficient ra pidity to meet the appetite of political patrons. • - SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—We trust that our readers have thoroughly got up the grand consultation of . political doctors on Monday night, for they will never see' such another. The interesting patient, as the Derby Administration appears to be thought, must have been brought into existence with a special view to the promotion of constitutional science. Unfortunately the doctors, as it too often happens, were not so anxious to find out what was really the matter as to make out a fore gone conclusion. They would ask leading questions, and, if the patient was so perverse as not to follow the lead, they went on squaring its answers to their own preconceptions. The case of the patient must be either this or that, and, as far as they could make out, it fell more under one class, and therefore it could not belong to the other, and there was no remaining alternative. The new Administration must be the former Opposition, for there must be an Adminis tration and an Opposition. As an Opposition it must have had a ' principle, and that principle it must continue to have as an Administration. In both cases it must be led ed. As still p led g ed to Protection, it must be g o di o us to the country. It had b een in a minority, and must still be in a minority, and, as the Administration was now in a minority, the Op position must be now in a majority. The former must, there fore exist on sufferance, and be incapable of action, except for such purposes as the common interest of all parties might absolutely require. The result of this chain of argumenta tion, and a world of other logic, is that the new Cabinet is Protectionist, in a minority, on sufferance, commissioned to ask the supplies, to dissolve, to divide the new Parliament on a corn-law, to be outvoted or outbullied, to let in the present Opposition, and to retire to a respectable obscurity. Never was there so methodical an investigation, or so triumphant a result. It may be argued backwards and forwards, from the right to the lett, or the left to the right, and the demonstra tion is as complete as that celebrated process Which would ha've condemned Ophelia to the grave of the suicide. But there was a time when nature itself was tortured in this . fashion, not to reveal itself but to prop up a theory. The student of physics stretched nature on the rack, and put his questions like an inquisitor. " Are you this?" ho would say to the speechless material, " or are you that ; for you must be one of-the twa2._You are not this, then you must be that; and you must have all the qualities which my authority ascribe to that class of material." What progress science made under this arbitrary and presumptu ous method we all of us know, and if we want a living illus tration of the pass to which science had come three hundred years since, we may find a very pretty one in the perverse ingenuity and obstinate aberrations of Parliament on Monday night. But there is such a thing as stretching a chain of reasoning so tight that it breaks, and a victorious conclusion will sometimes admit of a ridiculous con futation. Let us take the case of these savans on their own showing. Let us adopt their conclusion — a conclusion which, as it appears from their knowledge of Parliamentary history, and their intimate acquaintance with the party under examination, they were prepared for from the first. On Lord John Russell's own hypothesis, the advice he tendered to her Majesty on Saturday, the '2lst ult., was substantially as follows :—" Madam, I'm worried' to death. I can't command a majority. My colleagues are in subordinate, and my followers demoralized. I was beaten last night, as I was half-a-dozen times last session, and as I shall be again next week. As a dissolution just now would be a national calamity, I must resign for the present. Your Majesty will have to send for Lord Derby and ask him to form a Government. Of course it will be Protec tectionist. It will be bound in honour to restore Protec tion, if it can. It will be odious to the country, and its accession to power will be followed by indignation, uncertainty, confusion, paralysis, revolutionary hopes, and all sorts of evils. It will be in a minority, and consequently on sufferance. That being the case, it will have nothing to do but go through a little routine work, occupying three or four weeks, dissolve Parliament, and appeal to the country on the question of Free Trade. Meanwhile, I shall employ my leisure in recruiting and drilling. I shall enlarge the basis of my Government, and in the course of the summer— for that is all the time I can allow—l expect to beat Lord Derby in his new Parliament, and to be summoned once more to your Majesty's counsels. On this estimate and calculation, I advise your Majesty to accept my resignation, and send for Lord Derby." That is Lord John Russell's case, on his own showing; but that showing we believe to be fallacious and untrue. We do not believe that Lord John Russell has done anything so bad as the arguments used on Monday would prove him to have done. We think better of the ad vice he tendered to her Majesty not yet a month since. Why, all the links of that great structure of reasoning adopted on Friday are questionable, and demand vast qualification. In the first place, the "majority" of the into Government, and the " minority" of the present, are to be understood in a cer tain sense. Lord John Russell had not a majority that he could depend upon ; nay, on many questions he had not a majority at all ; otherwise he would have been Premier to this day, for it takes a good deal to turn out a Whig Minister, or indeed any . other Minister. On the other hand, though Lord Derby, it is true, has not a majority on one particular question, which he has expressly said he will never propose to the present Parliament, he has a majority on many others—nay, on all that are likely to come before Parliament this session. Of course , t h e Chesham-place alliance may adopt the factious tactics which Lord John ascribes to "the country party," but there is no good reason why Lord Derby should be in a minority on the Militia Bill, or the Chancery Bill, or any other intended measure. He is net likely to be in a minority on education, as appears from his remarks in the Lords last night, and Lord Roden's inter pretation of them. As little likely is he to be in a minority on the question of the Church. What, then, is the value of the assumption adopted by Lord Derby himself that he is in a minority? Nor can a better case be made fur the theory of the late Opposition, or that of the present Opposition, adopted in this singular and controversy. There were three Oppositions h month a g o, there therereOppositions now; and the occasional . combination of the three will be just as much an accident now as it was . _a month ago. It is true that the new triumvirate is o tnduce divide the spoils of office, and therefore possess es a greater i . meat to u nity than was ever felt by the three parties ever more eing the old Opposition. But no triumvirate wasehr d than a partnership of temp orar y convenience, anti if e Russell, Graham , or Cobde n thinks he can oust or a e _g the others, he will certainly do it. Where then is .th • Ops OP position, and the . consequent majority? If it exists in itsa perma nent form, except on one great to p ic, that phase of existence is at all events new. We know not what stuff peo ple suppose Lord Derby to be made of, he is to be ex. think him made of wax, if they imagine! e but they must At their actly what it suits their convenience to m will, his Administration is to be pledgedato actuatl, of Protection ; it is to be bound to a naked declaring , measures to precluded from expressing an opinion, othatis not written in r declaring a policy, much more from introducing a measure ere dummy for the the imaginary bond. It is to be a te Ch d es e h w am iti ; practice of the new rifle brigade,,o,rvginhaentizheede it t t place. It is only "an Opposition a any measure of its 'own, or any su bstan ti ve course of action 'own,a leak in the s hi p , while the at all ? It is only emp lo y ed to stop a captain and crew are busy on deck. It was to serve this tempo rary need, and this ominous purpoa®, that her Maje sty have the was t beneo s end for Lord Derby , an d the country few weeks. The pur pose once answered , th e use l ess tool was to be thrown aside. Al t this is the character which Lo . rd Derby's antagonists are . determined to stamp on his Administration, . and they seem to take it very ill if he will not quietly submit to the process We cannot give our confidence to Lord Derby, but much . less can we advise him to with the his s own n ,nt and aof hi s own. disgrace, and to inflict severe r etribution for his offences . against Peel and F ree Trade. His position is neither very noble, nor very powerful, nor very free. Except for the chivalry of we mig t almost call it undignified. taking it against such formidable odds, and the abilitywith which he sustains it, But, if he wishes not merely to prolong it, but to save it from ignominy, he must let us know that he contemplates hereafter something more than merely obstructive Conser vatism. Parliamentary Reform, popular education, pan perism, the governm ent of our colonies, and other subjects press for remedial and progressivelegislation quite as much as the burdens on land, or any other class grievance. Such le gislation, or the promise of it, is the only salt that can keep a Govern ment sweet in the esti ma ti on o f th e country, and be time, as a victor, from the racing world, re-appeared Yester day in his old form, and let a few of the bookmakers •in, by just winning the Free Ilandic,ap by a head..

The second race is for a gold sup, value 100 soya., with a Moans-Adcled , to a sweepstakes of 10 sous. each, hit, &c. This will be the most interesting race of the day; the weight is 12st each and penal ties for previous winnings. The struggle for as periority will lie, I fancy, with Hawksworth, Medora, Proceed, the Highlander and the Treasurer; _and if Hawksworth does not win I imagine ,fedora or Proceed will. _ _ The Welter Stakes will conclude the day's sport, and, in all likelihood, be won by Bushranger or the Highlander. On Friday there are no less than six races for decision, three of which have not as yet closed. Ido not intend to enter into minute • particulars, but state at once that the Grand Annual will be closely contested at the finish by Peter Simple, Oscar, Half-and-Half, St. Helier and Maurice Daley ; PETER SLYPLE or OSCAR the winner, Maurice Daley close up. The Free Handicap looks well for Victress, Gulnare, or Widow Machree, and the Hurdle-race, a foregone conclu sion, for Half-and-Half or Bullfinch. The following are the prices on the Steeplechases.

We sailed round the vessel, which was then a frightful mass of flame, without being able to discover any trace of boats or human beings, and although a strict 100k -out was kept with this view, both on deck and from the t.oPs, all our efforts were fruitless.

Vaabiv, headed La Bourgeoisie et le Suffrage Universal." The writer seeks to demonstrate the evils to which the bourgeoisie has given rise in the State by its systematic resistance to authority. Thus it committed two revolutions; one in 1830, with the cry ofi-" Vive la Charte !" the other in 1848.. with cos 10 anci ent times, but under reigns when the the , cry of "IT iv" la Ileforuker.and this at periods not•.vvh ,-24 . wtv , degraded ucd iasulted by the tiristo orapy, resPeefive Governments made every effort to give to the boUrgeoisie and beneficial participation in -poWer. 13y this suicidal conduct,' he contknds, the Vourgeoisie has wrought its own poiitical downfall, malirug itself subservient tO the masses whom it in cited against VERON recommends the hourgeoisielo make au littetnot_to recover its position by imitating - the con'duct of the same clasS in England, respecting t -, uthority itself, and exercising = its infleence with those who depend upon it for bread, to the observance of the laws 1114 ie,oittitionF.

There is much truth ill M. VERON'S description of the class with whom he expostulates. He says :—. • "In France, as in Eteanil, the bourgeoisieds now at the tead of our manufactories, our banking houses, and our commtroial wholesale and retail establishments; it supplies with :members our public atheinistratiens, our' academies,, our clergy, our army, and our magistrature. In all the elections it has its wei g ht-rand irrespected. It owes its •cohquests, its importance, and its bonours to ha ardour-fox indastayits application, its intelligence, its probity, and its hp.gts of order and ebenottty:' France, however, the bourgeoisie does not, as in England, obey with fervour the instincts of its religious senti ments; on; the contrary, it is opposed to all govern ment, and sets itself up in conflict against all kind of authority." The Public says :—" The grand , review which was to take place on the 15th of April for the distribution ' of colours to the army is postponed to the Ist of May. The whole of the army of Pari s w ill be pre sent, as well as the National Guards, mounted a n d on foot, and the guides." The new standing orders cf the Corps Legialatif are being drawn up in 'the office of the secretary of the Presidency ; and are to be printed as soon as possible, and distributed to all the members. The old regulations consisted of 131 articles. The new ones will not contain any relative to Parliamentary initiative, to the right of interpellation, to the exami nation of petitions, or to speeches delivered from the tribune—none of which will henceforth exist. The Gazette de Lyon says :—" Several 'journals have announced that the ROHAN family does not in tend to support the demand for restitution made against.,the ORLEANS family by the old companions in arms of the Prince DE CONDE and by the poor children: of the Vendeans. We are able to contra , diet that assertion." The Bourse was heavy, and Government Securities declined.

JUSSYIND for an address to the KinG, praying his MAJESTY, in consequence of the misery which prevails in the king don,.to consent to u very considerable reduction in his civil list. The Second Chamber of Hesse-Darmstadt, in a. recent sitting, unanimously adopted a resolution de claring that the Government ought not to consent to any change in the existing tariff of the Zollverein, which may be proposed by the Customs' Congress at Berlin, on iron, linen, cloth, woollen goods, and wines. A letter from Vienna of March 12 states that, in consequence of a dispatch having been received from the Government in England, making declarations re specting the political refugees of a character pre cisely analagous to the views expressed by the Earl of DERBY in the House of Lords, the Austrian Go vernment has determined not to persist in the excep tional measures which it had intended to adopt towards English travellers in Austria. A recent decree of the Emperor of AUSTRIA pro hibits the Anabaptist sect from exercising their pecu liar form of worship. A similar decree was issued some years ago, but since the disturbances of 1848 the Anabaptists have disregarded it. The Grand Dukes NICHOLAS and . MICHAEL o f Russia have arrived at Dresden. BELGIUM. The Emancipation of Brussels states that the military commission which was nominated s ome ti me ago by the Government to inquire into the organiza tion of the army has resolved to recommend that the present system shall not only b e maintained, but ex tended. This, if adopted, would cause an increase of the army. In 1851, the Government had proposed a reduction. IRELAND. DUBLIN, TUESDAY EVENING. —Lord Eglinton held his first levee to-day at the Castle.

A long discussion took place, in the course of which both parties stated their respective cases very fully. The masters having retired, the men „resolved unanimously to abide by the prices sanctioned by the Board of Ordnance in 1844 —being 12% per cent, higher than those paid for the last new line musket. Thus the matter stands ; and if the contractors do not give way it is pretty evident that the orders for 18,000 rifles must be executed elsewhere than in Birmingham. It is a dispute which cannot well be under stood by any but . gunmakers. The statements o f the men and the contractmg masters are di r ectly opposed. , , LAURENT'S CASINO, ARGYLL ROOMS, Great Windmill-street, St. James's. The PRIZE QUADRILLE, awarded to Mr. J. R.
