LONDON, MONDAY MORNING _ PRICE SD. iON SALES TION MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Saturday Evening.) There was a more active demand for Cotton at Liver pool yesterday. Sales, 6,000 bales, of which 2,000 were on speculation, at steadier rates. Shares were good again at Liverpool. The sales of Cotton for the week have been 20,160 bales, and the stock at the outport is 575,000 bales against 923,500 at this time last year. The average quotation of fair Upland Cotton, from the Ist of January to the 6th of November, 1845, was 41d. per lb., and to the same period this year, 4-0. per lb. The average weekly quantity of Cotton taken for consump tion, in 1845 to Nov. 6, was 27,880 bags ; and this year is 29,411 bags. The import this year is 1,076,315, and last year, to Nov. 6, was 1.475,368 bags. 4. * We understand the Shropshire Union Railway direc tors have made a very favourable arrangement with the London and North-Western Railway Company, by which eventually the Shropshire Union shareholders will participate in all the advantages of the London and North Western Company. There are not any late arrivals from the colonies to day. A vessel is reported from. Quebec, but up to this hour there have not been any letters delivered. There seems no longer a doubt as to the intention, if not the actual determination, of the Zollverein Con ference to raise the duties upon several articles, but especially cotton yarn. The Consol market has moved but a shade to-day. For the Account the price is 94/ 1, and for Money precisely the same. Exchequer-bills are a fraction lower. Bank Stock has just been called 205.

SIMPSON invites the attention of Capitalists to the statements contained in the following Advertisements, which relate to the past, present, and future perma nency of Rentals as well as the value of Land, confirming, as they do, the predictions which he ventured to make last April, in a speech at Norwich, in which he observed. that " although he had been a thorough-going Protectionist, he was proud to say, that sliding and all other scales had fallen from his eyes ;—that it was his firm and honest conviction, that Rents which had been set on fair and liberal principles within the last seven years woutt be permanent ; that the year's purchase on such Rentals had risen within the last six mouths, and in all probability would continue to rise ; that the increase of population, viz., 1,000 per day, would form a counterpoise for any importation, present or prospective, ensuring in ordinary seasons not excessive, but steady and remunerating prices for the cultivator, as well as ample revenue to the landed proprietor, and the assumed ad dition of fifty millions annually to the wealth of the country, would contribute to a higher year's purchase on estates. This and the high price of the funds has, and no doubt will stimulate a desire of invest ing in land, the only property, indeed, which can be considered es sentially permanent under adverse circumstances, produced by poli tical event <. Instead, therefore, of the motto 'agitate, agitate, it will be better policy to substitute that of ' cultivate, cultivate,' and let landlords assistimproving tenants by making advances (in the nature of improvements in drainage, Ste.) of the additional capital which may be required, charging for the same at the rate of five per cent, on that expenditure, which shall be judiciously laid cut. Hence, the tenant farmer will reap a benefit in many Instances of 25 per cent., and a permanent improvement in rental, quasi landlord, will supervene. Mr. Simpson further observed, that in adopting free trade measures, Sir Robert Peel had proved himself to be one of the most talented, far-sighted, and fearlessly honest Ministers that had ever lived in the tide of time." The present aspect of the United Kingdom, occasioned by a general scarcity of food throughout Europe, fullyjustifies the opinion here expressed of the eminent talents and courage displayed by Sir Robert reel. it to stated by the most com petent judges that if his wise measures of free trade had not been carried out, the prices of Corn and produce would have risen to a famire height. Mr. Simpsen has also been assured by the most re spectable salesmen in Smithfield Market, that if it had not been tor the alteration] of the Tariff, the price of meat would long since have risen to one shilling per pound, and even now the general impression is, that before next harvest the prices of provisions will reach a height beyond what would be conducive to the general prosperity of the country. Mr. Simpson, in conclusion, cannot refrain trom al luding to the opinion of that eminent man, the I..te S.r Charles We therell, on the subject. A high Tory and firm Protectionist, the fears he entertained as to the probable results of the Repeal of the Corn Laws induced him to determine on selling his landed property, but his better judgment prevailed, and be not only retained pos session of it, but was in the course of making further investments when he met his lamentable fate. "THE PROTECTIONISTS WHE RE ARE THEY? WHERE ARE NOW YOUR PROPHETS WHICH PROPHESIED UNTO YOU ?"

Furrimweel West and East, Truskey West, Clogskeltla, and Corboolia Morgan. The houses are excellent on the estate, and are new. There are many beautiful situ ations for villas and bathing lodges. The coast abounds wish sea weed and coral sand ; manure can also be conveyed at a trifling ex pense in boats from Galway, and landed at the pier, which is up wards of 500 feet in length, lately erected on the estate at a cost of 2,000/., affording complete shelter frem the south and west gales to the numerous fishing bnats and vessels belonging to the estate, and frequenting the coast, and is most useful for shipping the produce of cothnenseuertrionug it surrounding country, the town untry,awe o ll f as turf Galway as r the Galway market.

S[MPSON has received inst rur.t ions IV - from the Trustees of the late John Christie, Esq., to SELL by AUCTION, at the Mart oa TUESDAY, November 10, at Twelve, An exceedingly valuable FREEHOLD and COPY HOLD EsTATE, eligibly situate in the parishes of Irchester and Wymington, within three miles of the capital market town of Wellingborough, and two miles only ,nim the railway station, which is within about half an hour's transit by railway to the important county town of Northampton. It comprises a tarmhouse and suitable agricultural building., toge ther with 304 acres of land, including 237 acres of arable, generally of easy tilia:.•,e and deep staple, much the larger surface of which, under prover cultivation, adapts itself to the turnip and bailey course of husbandry ; and the entire arable cur lce of the estate is grateful, and in fair average season' , yields abundantly in corn, leguininete, and green crops in all their varieties. The meadow rnd pasture lands are to a considerable extent of good feeding and dairy quality ; still they are, however, susceptible of improvements relating to draining, &c., which, if carried out, would increase their present pni ductiveness; the sane observation will apply to certain portions of the arable surface of the estate. As it would not be prudent fit tenants of uncertain tenure to incur this earrantiture. the following clause is inserted in the agreeme it:—" In addition to the , ent, the tenants are to pay six per cent. on the ow lay of the lan•• lord for which , •ainage th.• landlord is to do according to a specifica tiontobe agreed unon between the tenants and ‘I r. W. W. Gardner, the mein to the vendors.' The above .arm is in the occupation of sir. James Mather, yearly tenant, who renewed his agreement at Michaelmas. 1845, at a rent of 582/. lOs per annum. Mr. Mather and • is fa oily have been located on the estate fur nearly a century. Mr. Mather is not only wealthy, but of exce llent character ; a first class cultivator and manager i.-enerally; he stocks highly, and, at the present period has a flock of 600 sheep, between the Leicester and Down, superior in regard to frame and quality of wool. Also a irab e Farm adjoining, with farm-house and agricultural bull I ' ings, and about IL3 Acres 01 deep urfaced and exceedingly produc tive arable land, including a small field of pasture, in the occupation of Miss Elizabeih Frost, a highly respectable yearly tenant, from Michaelmas, 1'45, at a rent of 220/. per annum. The family of Miss Frost have been tenan.. on this estate upwards of 40 years. The arable surface partakes very much of the same description and qua lity as Mr. Mather's occupation, with the exception that there is not qui' e so large a proportion kindly to the turnip course; still there are very .ew fields on the entire estate where turnips are not grown and folded oft. Also about 24 acres of excellent arable land, called Avenue Close, in the occupation of the Rev. Charles Partridge, vicar, tenant ,tom year to year, at a rent of 471. 10s. per annum, for the purpose of being let to labourers as allotments. Th e co py hold por tion of the above property is in the parish of Irchester, and pays an annual quit-rent of 31. 16s. 3d., and a fine of the like amou nt on is, or death, to the lord of the manor of I rchester it therefore, equal In value to freehold. The apportioned tithe rent-charge on the whole estate amounts to 61 14s. 3d. only, and which is paid by the tenants, therefore it may be considered virtually tithe r e n t- c h a rg e free. In respect to the permanency of the rentals Mr. Simpson refers to the best test, namely the character i of the tenants, who have so re cer ay taken their occupation at the present rents, added to the de sire expressed by them to 3 b f e r. cont t inued on their farms in the event a fieldte bbye field, gsol a d nd carefule c' survey, hee Simpson ti having made a most minute asserts it is one of the most desirablesmate of the property, tearlessly estates for occupation and the secure investment of capital he has seen in the course of his ex tensive experience.

SIMPSON . , in the early part of the year, for obvious - reasons, recommended the proprietors of Irish estates, who honoured him with their confidence, to post• pone the sales which were then advertised to be sold by auction. Since that period, in consequence of the potato failure, the Govern ment has resorted to firm and energetic measures to facilitate the employment of the labouring poor of distressed districts in Ireland, a,,il to put in train such comprehensive and ameliorating plans as, under proper direction, must tend to order, industry, and the in creased prosperity of the country. These measures have already brought about a good result, in the creation of renewed confidence in the future stability of landed property In Ireland, and applications have been made by English and Irish capitalists for particulars of estates. An offer, already received by Mr. Simpson, for the estate (now advertised) in the county of Donegal (consisting of 4,100 acres), of within a small sum of the amount which would be accepted, is corroborative testimony. These observations apply also to mortgages. Mr. Simpson opines that the all-wise and Omni potent Disposer of human events has visited that country with the potato scourge for the purpose of stimulating the Government and landed proprietary to form plans and make such advances of money as will immediately tend to production and reproduction, and thus at once improve the condition of millions of the Irish poor peasantry and tenantry generally, by furnishing that "seed to the sower" which will . give " bread to the eater," thereby superseding the culti vation, and feeding solely on a vegetable yielding twenty five per ent only of food nutritous to the human frame —they will tints be enabled to grow and consume white straw crops in all their variety —produce which, under a fair course of husbandry, does not, like the potato, exhaust the natural power of the land : at the same time the _feeding anti foddering the straw of their crops will give an incalcu lable quantity et manure, whereas the potato plant will afford com paratively none. in the COUNTY of DONEGAL, 12 Miles from Londonderry, FEE SIMPLE ESTATE, comprising upwards of 4,100 Acres.

IRELAND.—COUNTY OF ANTRIbI, One of the most improving and extensive FEE-SIMPLE ES TATES in the United Kingdom, containing 50,000 Acres, the greater part situate in the manufacturing district of the county. MR. W. %V SIMPSON has the honour to an- nounce that he has surveyed, by order of the Noble Pro prietor, and intends to OFFER for SALE by AUCTION, at the Royal Hotel, in Belfast, The GA LGOR 51 or GLENAHGERTY, the BRAID, and KELLS ESTATES, in the county of Antrim. A large portion of these estates is rich and very productive land, lying in the valleys of the River Main, and the Braid and Kells waters. The Galgorm Estate includes the fine mansion of Galgorm Castle, on which a considerable sum has been recently expended in valuable improve ments. Attached to the castle is a demesne of about 150 acres of superior land, in hand. On the property, which embraces a great volume of water-power, there are many extensive bleach greens, beetling and corn mills, in the occupation of wealthy and respect able manufacturers ; and several of the tenantry are engaged in, or connected with, the various branches of the linen trade; the ma jority are Protestants, and, in the highly favoured province of Ulster, are remarkable for their industry and intelligence. The bogs attached to the estate are very valuable, and there are exten sive tracts of pasturable and easily reclaimed mountain lands, abundantly stocked with game. The property is in the immediate neighbourhood of Ballymena, and approaches within a quarter of a mile of this, the largest inland town in the county, and is only 20 miles distant from Belfast. The entire of the estates includes a surfa::e of about 50,000 acres. The Belfast and Ballymena Rail way, the works of which are contracted for, passes through the pro perty, as will also two other railways in contemplation. Particulars are in preparation, and may, in due time, be ob tained of Messrs. J. W. Sherlock and Sons, 29, Grenville-street, Mountjoy-square, Dublin, and Fermoy, Ireland; at the place of sale; and of Mr. W. W.Simpsoe, 18, BUcklersbury. Mr. Simpson, while drawing the attention of capitalists to the above valuable estates, wishes to state that a second edition of his pamphlet has been published, on which the ""Times" news paper made the following review .—" Mr. W. W. Simpson, the well-known and deservedly respected auctioneer and land valuator, has recently published a pamphlet, entitled A Defence of the Land lords of Ireland, with Remarks on the Relation between Landlord and Tenant,' the' Dublin Evening Packet,' in reviewing this work, gives the following char acter of its author:—' Mr. Simpson, we scarcely need remind our r eaders, is an Englishman, of vast ex. perience in matters relating to the improvement and value of land in his own country. He is, moreover, a gentleman of most com prehensive views, and POSSPEAPA AR understanding naturally strong, and a stock of practical knowlege and sterling sense which falls to the lot of very few persons in his own or any other rank of life. With the social condition of Ireland he has made it his business, almost as a matter of necessity, to be made thoroughly ac quainted. He feels for her wants, and has contributed as much, perhaps, as any man in his time to improve her resources, by en couraging the investment of British capital in every department of Irish industry. Such a witness as this we therefore bold to be beyond the reach of suspicion, on the score either of interest or partiality. His testimony must be regarded as invaluable, as it is unquestionably unimpeachable.'" IRELAND—IN THE COUNTY OF KERRY.

The scenery from the hill is nd aria imposing. The lands are supplied with the richest manures, namely, muscle fish and sea sand, the former being so plentiful on the coast that the country is manured with it for miles round. The mountain portions of the property excel for the grazing of sheep and young cattle. and might, at a moderate expense, be converted into excellent sheep walks. The farm- houses are generally of a comfortable description, and are occupied by a contented and improving tenantry, mostly holding under old l eas es, on the falling in of which, a large Increase of rental will accrue, and the land in many instances, with a small outlay, might be nearly doubled in value.

On Thursday a Mr. Kerrison, of Yarmouth, who keeps a cuff, e shop (one of those coff-e-shop s i n t h e country a ,nducted on t h e total abstinence from all sorts of alcoholic drinks" principle), applied, in a spasm of pre cipitation, at the Yarmouth station, to ascertain if his cars sposa had not shor'ly before booked herself and her b enelboxes for Cambridge, Kerrison suspecting that she had faithlessly flown thitherward to a paramour, a son of the glue-pot and plane, who had recently been his lodger, but who, having obtained work as a journey man carpenter, was now plying his vocation at Cam tridge. Kerrison, w i t h piquant pain and precision, de scribed the lady and the two damsels, who he suspected had accompanied her, all of whom were in plaid dresses and identically decked bonnets. A gallant guard at the station informed him that he had a perfect recollection of the fugitives, then on their way to Norwich. Kerri son hereupon calmed, and commanded the equipment of a spec i a l tra in, but his ecstasy knew no bounds on being informed that by means of a whisper and a wire he would be at Norwich before the fugitives. The telegraph was set to work and sent on its electric detenu, and the flying the instant and in spite of protestations and fair, upon Nor wch ' implorings, were detainee: escortedi at them until the wronged Kerrison rus hed up, and back to mouth, glorifying the telegraph as a godsend and as a work of miracle in the maintenance of his rights marital. 3 per Cent.

Real del Monte Unregd THE FALLING STARS OF NOVEMBER ! It must be sufficiently known to the reading public generally, and especially to philosophical readers, that, for a number of years past, falling stars in great num bers, though larger in some cases and fewer in others, have been observed to fall, accompanied generally, or preceded by, the aurora borealis, fiery balls, and other meteoric phenomena. The periodical time when these falling stars have been observed during fourteen or fif teen years past, has been a regular interval, extending from the 9th to the 14th of November, and the observa tions which have ascertained this fact have not been con- • fined to this country nor to Europe, the same phenomena having been noticed precisely at the same time in this country, in France and Germany, in Russia, in America, and even in Australasia. It was only in 1831, that scientific attention was first called to the asteroids, or falling stars of November; but since then the synchromism of their appearance, both as to date and locality, has been accurately ascertained and registered. On the 11th and 13th of November of that year, Captain Bernard, when off the coast of Carthegena, in South America, observed a shower of falling stars, which, during three hours, he calculated to be at the rate of two stars per minute; and precisely at the same time Dr. Wright observed a similar shower in the pro vince of Ohio, in the United States. In 1832, on the 13th of November, a shower of shooting stars was ob served at Oremburg, in Asiatic Russia, between three and four o'clock in the afternoon. They were in large and continuous numbers, an d t raverse d the horizon in- a aegular current, from north-east to south-west. In 1834 numerous showers of shooting stars were seen in most of the states of North America, where the circumstance caused great excitement, and was remr,cled in the principal journals. The phenomenon occurred, as usual, on the 12th and 13th of November. In 1835 these appearances in Ame rica were resumed at the same date; and on the nights of the 13th and 14th of the same year, M. Delejeune observed at Lisle an igneous meteor, like a star, larger and more brilliant than Jupiter, and which left b e h in d its track on its disappearance a shower of smaller star e. simultaneouslnlB36, at the usual observa tions were d made tthe month h showers ers November, f fall ing s t stars , In Paris, , i n a great,ris, a numbertsix o'clock, n of the o he provincial evening districts o of France. f the 12th, the celebrated astronomer and savant, M. Arago, observed one hundred and ninety of these stars , the tra cks of which were principally confined to the co nstellation Leo. At Bercy, at the same time, M. Meret saw one hundred and twenty of these stars, hall of which proceeded from the same constellation. At Strasburg, at the same time, eighty-five were seen by Professor Fangean, out of which fifty seven were visible in the direction of Leo ; at Anglers, forty nine were seen by Professor Moren ; at Rochfort. twenty-three were seen by Lieutenant Salneuve ; and at Aix La Chapelle, thirty-six were observed within the space of three hours and three quarters, by Messrs. Calais and Racine. Contemporaneous with these obser vations in France, one hundred and sixty of the same falling stars were seen at Plymouth in the same special interval of their periodical return, namely, between the 9th and 15th of November. On the 13th of November, 1760, a large fire ball exploded with a loud detonation, near Disson, in France, and set fire to a house there. On the 12th o f N ovember, 1791, about half-past six in the evening, a large and brilliant meteor, which burst into a shower of stars, like a rocket, was observed at Gottingen, by Professor Lichtenburg. On Nov. 13, 1803, a remarkable meteor, called in the papers a "fire-ball," passed over a considerable track in Eng land, and was observed by several persons at the same time in different situations. In 1813, on the 10th of No vember, between six and seven o'clock in the evening, England was again visited by a brilliant and detonating meteor of considerable magnitude. Itt November, 1819, a meteoric globe of fire was seen nearly at the same time in Hayti, in Bohemia, and in England. On the 14th of November, 1825, a large meteoric fire-ball exploded in Scotland, and the years 1826 and 1827 were marked by similar visitations in England. After this date scientific attention was first drawn to the periodical ap pearance of showers of falling stars in different parts of the world in November, and their occurrence was duly la gist, red. F rom th e f orego i ng d eta il s , t o which a vast series of meteorological coincidences might be a dd e d (if we h a d space or lei sure), it appears that there are some distinctions in the manifestatitris of these phenomenal, and that the asteroid s of the well :ascertained interval between the 9th and 14th of November, are only visible when they penetrate the atmosphere of the earth. Sometimes they apps ar in a numerous. and sometimes in a more limited form. It will b e tb un d , on looking to the history of their periodicalappea rance, t h at phenomena of a mag netic or electrical des cr i pt i on h ave been more regularly seen . in this count r y t h an the more striking phenomena of the showers of falling stars which occur in the western hemisphere. Supporting himself on this fact. the celebrated astronomer, M. Blot, has brought forward a theory re , pecting these periodical meteors, which, in concurrence with the scientific excitement caused by the phenomena, and with th e un i versal preparation of scientific men for its observation, he read before the " Academie des Sciences." M. Blot's theory is in per fect concurrence with the atmospheric phenomena of the Zodiacal light. His opinion is, that the result is produced in consequence of the earth (on reaching a particular point of its course on the 12th of November) coming in contact with that solar nebulosity to which the aurora borealis is by the majo rity cf astronomers attributed. He says, " that on the 13th of November the earth arrives very near to the ascending node of the nebulosity towards which she is approaching, and towards which she will soon travel; that she will operate by her attraction and by her colli sion on the material particles of the nebulosity which will be at the same epoch near the ascending nodes of their orbits, and at similar distances as the sun from the earth, or very little different; from which would result phenomena, that would be coincident as to direction and time, with those that the periodical phenomena of No vember have presented. Finally, the usual, and much more central passage of Mercury and Venus through the region of the above described ne bulosity, must disperse innumerable multitudes of its particles into orbits slightly inclined to the ecliptic, and in every direction, so that the earth may accidentally meet with them again in other points of its course. These multitudes of particles, travelling in one and the same direction, are the asteriods, or falling stars, which we periodically encounter in November." Thus far the astronomer Biot ; and there is good rea son to infer, from observations latterly made, that Biot's theory is based upon correct data, and that the pheno mena of the solitary igneous meteors and of the showers of stars in November, being synchronical, are connected with and depending upon, the more familiar phenomena of zodiacal lights. Sometimes the globular meteors which have be en d escr ib e d a p pear a l one , an d i n consi derable volume. The most brilliant of them in No vember, 1836, shed a lustre equal to that of the planet Venus. According to another Continental Professor of Astronomy, M. Milet, "Stars, or fragments of stars, do really fall to the earth ;" and thus it would seem that the vulgar superstition of " falling stars " is philosophi cally correct. - 3% 1 1 4 % 144 2% 1% 1114 4% 4% SHALL SHERIDAN KNOWLES HAVE A PENSIONf With peculiar satisfaction we transfer the following remonstrance from a publication entitled the Renfrew shire Magazine to our columns. Long ago, and re peatedly, we ourselves have insisted upon the cruelty, the injustice, and the impolicy of neglecting those who have distinguished themselves either by their literary or artistic creations. We have frequently taken oc casion to press the claims of Mr. Knowles upon the attention of the Government, and, while those claims still continue unacknowledged, we are satisfied that an earnest co-operation on the part of the press would ultimately elicit the recompense of so much genius applied to the adornment of our national literature, clothing virtue in an alluring garb, inculcating patriotic sentiments with an unusual eloquence, and breathing throughout a spirit of bene volence and magnanimity. At the same moment we cannot perceive the utility of cavilling at the munifi cence displayed towards some authors merely in con sequence of the niggardliness evinced towards others. We cannot coincide with those who would become churlish at the butt of malmsey presented periodi cally to Ben Jonson, because Shaksaere was without so generous a guerdon—at the poetical coronation of Petrarch, because Boccacio remained uncrowned—at the departure of Prior upon the Parisian embassy, because Wycherley was compelled to pen his wittiest comedy upon his death-bed—upon the two hundred pounds per nnnnm nnnfp rrv ri upon Alfred Tennyson. because the services of Sheridan Knowles still remain unrecognised by her Majesty's Ministers. In the in stance of Mr. Knowles there is not merely a neces- lity to reward for inestimable labours, but a great necessity likewise to repair an act of injustice long committed.—En. Sun.] " While the melancholy circumstances attending the death of the highly-gifted, yet world-wearied Ilaydon, are still fresh in our memories, it may not be amiss to direct attention to the case of Mr. James Sheridan Knowles, whose name is not to be found in the list of civil pensions. . • • • . There may be some who will ask what Knowles has done to entitle him to a pension ; their number will be few : yet, lest the eyes of any such may chance to light on these remarks, we shall mention the names of some of those noble productions which, of themselves, would have been sufficient to hand down the name and memory of their deep-toned, far-thoughted' author to a grateful and admiring posterity. How Tell's soul-stiring Ode to Liberty' comes home—to use a homely phrase—to the hearts of us Scots. We have not altogether forgotton how Wallace faught and conquered in the cause of Scot tish freedom ; nor how well Robert Bruce imitated his great precursor. Well do we remember the first perusal of this breathing, burning' strain, Ye crags, and peaks ! I'm with you once again While the English language exists, will the play of William Tell ; the possessor of a fame which, instead of fading, will grow in strength every hour of its existence! How we feel constrained to weep with mad Vir ginius,' and o'er the story of his wrongs' to breathe forth, unconsciously, a sigh. The noble-soulcd and generous Hunchback,' whose inner -man, with its celestial proportions, cast in heaven's own mould, ex hibits such a goodly contrast to the deformity of its earthly ally, is a searching study of human nature in one of its most eccentric pha3es ; and is laid open to the world in language the most chaste, yet attractive ; with a voice the most melodious, yet full of power and pathos ; commanding attention with a mild authority, while it soothes and elevates the soul. But here we must pause, our space being of necessity very limited ; still, we do so with the less regret, considering that many, very many, of our readers are, without doubt, admirers of the Shakspere of the nineteenth century. As we have already said, the plays above alluded to are a few of those magnificent productions which stamp their author as the possessor of genius of the most exalted order ; and should the present attempt to reply to the supposed question, ' What has Knowles done to entitle him to a pension ?' fall short of conviction, let the proposers of it read, mark, and learn,' for them selves. They will be amply repaid for their pains. . In conclusion, may we venture to express the hope that Mr. Knowles may yet, and that at no distant period, have bestowed on him a pension adequate to his merits —we ask, he expects no more. If those whose province it is to confer such marks of a nation's gratitude upon individuals whose time, talents, strength of soul and body, are, or have been, devoted to the enriching of our stores of literature, neglect or refuse to listen to his claims—ignorance of them they cannot plead—then the country, independent of the Government, must be ap pealed to; and, together with these of other localities, Mr. Knowles has, from similar association, a peculiar claim on the opulent merchants of Glasgow. Surely if a testimonial of such enormous value could be so easily obtained for George Hudson, by an appeal to the mer chants, traders, 84e., of Great Britain, they will not re fuse to give forth, out of their abounding substance, wherewith to fund a suitable annuity for one of the brightest and most valuable intellects of Britain! What scatter m p t e d John r p to ro Bull and his 'canny. brither, s gold in such profusion at the feet of one whose sole a miserable delusion was that_ aw w n h e ic y h ,, claims to their gratitu de la y in the w o nderful agility he 1 yed in climbing the mountains of Plutus, and in enriching himself, bag a fter bag, with such a vast had disp layed amou nt of the world - wor shi pp ed ore ; and his havin g a id e d and abetted the ' airy creation of so many of the bubbles of the day! Shame will affix itself, dur ing their existence, to the men of the present day, should they refuse to listen to an appeal made for such a pur pose as we have above alluded to, on the behalf of Mr. Knowles ; and, when their brief sojourn here shall have ended, aught but kindly remembrances will be attached to their memories. That the necessity of such an ap peal may soon be speedily obviated by the bestowal of a Government pension on him whose cause we plead, is, we repeat, our unqualified and fervent prayer! It has bestowed ß etterlanteowthlanltneve cannotr,' isr come an e oldan hoursa3 ing o so let it is soon, been too long delayed already, and, come when it may, redeemingeit only for the purp ose o f redeeming the still to l a honour we re e e t f the nation.

And when the costly and storied pile shall have been raised to his me mory, bearing witness alike of the splendour of his talents, and the unselfish purposes to which they were devoted, it will also, to our shame, tell of the compara tive poverty, and apparent neglect, in which his ungrate ful countrymen suffered him to languish and die !"
