SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Our Evening Contemporary the Courier, evidently well-informed on the affairs of Hanover, gives the fol lowing account of the Constitution of that country : " One of our Contemporaries, but the assertion is in tended for an excuse, describes the Constitution of Hanover as only a few days old ; while the fact is, that it has been in existence since 1831, and was then but a tardy fulfilment of the pledges which were given to Hanover, in common with all the German States, when the people rushed to the conflict with Napoleon, and restored the ancient Sovereigns to their hereditary territories. At that time the previous Electorate of Hanover was rounded by the additions of various large territories, such as the Catholic bishopric of Hildesheim, and the Protestant (almost republic) East Friezland ; and over all the territories which were then added to the Crown of Hanover the present King has no hereditary rights whatever: He enters into possession by virtue of the Treaty of Vienna, and an inquiry , which we shall not now enter into, would probably show that he for feits his right to at least the new dominions of Hanover by departing from the principles on which his family received them. It is a mistake to suppose that even his hereditary dominions had no rights but what were dependent on the will of the Crown, and which he might at his pleasure set aside. The several provinces, such as Calenburg and Lune burg, of which the Electorate was composed, had each its Constitution, its little Parliament, and the Elector could no more abrogate that Constitution than the King of England could, by one stroke of his pen, abolish the Houses of Lords and Commons. When the Duke of Cambridge assumed the Government, after the expulsion of Bonaparte from Germany, be published in 1814 a proclamation in which, in the name of the Prince Regent, he called a solemn Diet, to consist of an assembly of the states of all the provinces, old and new, and they met at Hanover on the 15th December, 1814, furnished with full powers, from the electors? —no, but from their constituents. On that day the Duke of Cambridge opened the proceedings in form, and concluded his speech as follows : " If some privileges must be sacrificed to form a bater internal order, remember that the Prince Regent gives up rights which others consider as an essential part of the Royal dignity, by assembling you h ere . B e to Li ai h ere what the Parliament is in the sister kingdom, Great Britain, the high council of the nation.' " On October 18, 1813, Count Munster met these states as the representative of the Prince Regent, and he said that when the new provinces were incorporated, he would cause a plan to be drawn up for the representation of the whole kingdom.' Now the Constitution, so unceremoniously set aside by the Tory King of Hanover, was but the tardy and incomplete fulfilment of the promises made by George the Fourth, and was nothing more than a consolidation of the rights and privileges of the several separate pi ovincial states into one general assem dy or the states. if such a solemn compact or I.lw may b; set aside by the mere word of the King, there is not a public treaty in Europe, not a single institution in any state, which may not he overthrown, on no better ground than that it does not comport with the royal wishes." Our Contemporary justly adds, " that such a pro ceeding strikes at the root of ad public law as well as of all liberty, and is alike dangerous to the stability of cvcry throne, as well as to the security of every people. It teaches tri wh tt we may expect shou!d the Orange party, of which the despotic King of Hane ver is yet Grand Master, should the Tor; party, yet looks up :o 111 n as its chid' and is identi- Ld with him, for his :;,1.11:: appears in ail the House of Lords on the:r side, ever azain obtain power in England." Our French Contemporary, the Temps, contains in its number of Sunday last a long and elaborate article on the question to which the despotic proceedings of the King of Hanover has given r;s:-. It appears that King Ernest has placed himself in the wrong, not merely with reference to his own subjects, but also with reference to the German t " The Duke of Cumberlend" sa y s our French Contem porary, appears to have entirely foreotten that in 18:37 a tribunal was appointed of arbitrators chosen jointly by t'ae Sovereigns and Chambers, a tribune' destined to ja4ie and determine in all differences arising between the Princes and their Legislatures as to whether they could come to an arrangement. The choice of these arbitrators was made by all the states of the Germanic Confederation ; and the Chambers of Hanover and the King of England ,both presented theirs to the Diet. The installation of this tribunal was, it is true, a measure destined to place the Chambers of all Germany at the mercy of the Sovereign's of whom the delegates forme:) the majority in this tri bunal, and had at the sanie time for its object to place the Constitutional Princes in a humiliating dependance on Austria and Prussia ; for the delegates of these two powers had become the judges of the Constitutional So vereigns, while Prussia and Austria, being both without Chambers, can never be subjected to the arbitration of the other Sovereigns ; but this arm directed against the people will now be turned against the King of Hanover. The Diet, wishing only to protect Sove reigns against the Democratic encroachments of the German Chembere, could not foresee that it would he called on to decide the question, whether a King, on ascending the throne, can arbitrarily free himself from the engagements which his predecessors entered into towards his subjects ; and whether he can entirely overturn a Con stitution recognized by the Diet. The representatives of Hanover may therefore force all the German Sovereigns to pronounce their opinion before the whole nation, without circumlocution and without subterfuge, on one of the gravest questions of German public law. The case here is the more grave, as the Constitution which has just been abolished was by no means a charter emmnating from the mere good pleasure of the sovereign (charte oetroyee); it was the result of the solemn discussions between the Mi nistry of King William and the Estates of the country duly convoked. The mutual engagements between that Prince and the country were, besides, rendered necessary by the insurrections of the town of Gottingen and the population of the Harz in 1830. Had it not been for the conces sions made by the King and the Ilanoverian aristocracy to the citizens and country people these insurrections might have been general, and led to a foreign occupation of the country, and in some way or other overthrown the reigning family. This truth was even on one occasion publicly proclaimed in the Chambers of Hanover. When a prosecution was instituted against Doctor Koenig, who was one of the instigators of the insurrectionary movement of 1830, the Deputy Christiani called on the Ministry to be indulgent towards a man to whom they were in the main indebted for the fortunate reforms which they were discussing. If, therefore, the Duke of Cumber land was enabled to take peaceable possession of his kingdom, he owes this to a charter which terminated the troubles of the country." The Temps adverts also to the utter impossibility, in a country like Hanover, which is an aggregate of various territories possessing their separate constitu tional rights and laws, of determining the original con stitution to which the King can revert : " No country during the last forty years has gone through so many revolutions. The titles, the rights, and the value of property have been changed. The kingdom of Westphalia in 1808 abolished all feudal rights ; the restoration of the reigning family re-established them, without regard to the purchases and the changes made during the French domination. The laws passed in the Chambers since 1831 have created a number of new rela tions. With the abolition of the constitution, with the re establishment of the ancient institutions, these special laws, the result of the deliberations of the Chambers, dis appear ; everything is once more set afloat, and it is said that the King is employed in overturning the whole exist ingadministration?' If this were - the act of an individual of whom no tt o hin was known, it might be possible for the Tories disown him. But the Duke of Cumberland, though long detested by • ously h the nation on many accounts, has been studiously held up by the Tories and Orange men as a Chief every way worthy of their highest re gard. A ga i n and again has the Standard told us that he w as t h e favourite son of George the Third, who in a ll respects most resembled his father, and that he had th e most sac o r s e t d claim s on th e a ffe c ti on and esteem of the T or i es . The disclosure of hi s attemp t s t o obtain surreptiti ous ly t h e command of the army did not in the least diminish the reverence ot b of th e T or i es f or n this bold bad m an . Th ere can a( e l t ue t stio n that he was encouraged t o ma k e t h e coup d,a Han over by the Tories, by way c f determining fro m on Han result how far they might venture to follow u) i th e blow in England. Fiat experimentum irz ccrpore viii, is a maxim which, though it implies no , reat compliment to the Hanoverians and other Germans, it was thought might be particularly apposite here. If the King of Hanover could succeed in brush ing away all the Liberal innovations in that country, the Tories might flatter themselves they could get rid of the changes introduced hero by the Reform end Municipal Bills with equal ease. At all events, the result in Hanover might serve to guide them in Eng land; it would determine whether the Reform Nil might best be destroyed by sapping or storm. The Times, which till yeiterday was cautiously silent—watching, no doubt, the impression made by this coup detat on the people of England before it broke silence—began yesterday, for the first time, to manifest doubts wltc ther it would abet the Duke or disapprove of his des potism. We are told by it that the " act" is, "on the face (2f it" " very startling." But, then, quoth the Times, " we will not pronounce upon an incom plete case." The Times has assigned the _gallows to many a man in this country as a reward for his deeds, of whose case it knew a great deal less. But the Duke of Cumberland must not be judged of by the result. There can be no doubt of his having acted by the advice and with the concurrence of the leading To ries, in whose councils he was deep and with whose feelings he is identified. Whatever be the fate of the man whom the Times in its better days used to desig nate as a monster, if the Tories were to profit by his success they must be bound by his failure. The To ries aimed at England through Hanover.—Morning Chronicle. The Ministerial papers go on as they began, falsely and profligately involving the Conservative leaders of this country in that act of the King of Hanover, by which, at the commencement of his reign, he has (whatever may be his ultimate intentions) certainly startled all reasonable minds, and most of all, we have strong ground to be convinced, the very class of states men who are accused by their political calumniators of participating or approving his designs. We repeat, what we said yesterday, that we do not yet understand what are the real objects of the King of Hanover : a few days will, no doubt, throw full light on the case. Meantime it may be useful to state that the present Constitution of Hanover, if it yet exist, was not recog nized by George IV. It was established in 1833, and of the twenty-one Constitutions which have been adop ted in different States of Germany since 1814, it is the most recent. A Royal patent, dated Dec. 7, 1819, regulated the constitutional system of the States ; but the present constitutional law, which is dated Sept. 26, 1833, was not octroyed, but the result of the delibera tions of a General Assembly of the States. The follow ing article of the Constitution has reference to the pre unt state of affairs :—" Section 13. The King will make known his accession by the publication of a patent, whereupon, afterthe communication of the corresponding precepts to the whole kingdom, the doing of homage (oath of allegiance) will take place. In the patent, which in the original under the King's hand and seal is depo sited in the archives of the States, the King assures, on his royal word, the inviclable maintenance of the Constitution." It appears, howerer, on the face of the patent, that the King does not merely mean to re vert to the Constitution of 1819, but to go back to the state of things which existed before 1814. The ancient Hanoverian Constitution, though aristocratic, imposed considerable limitations on the authority of the Prince. Having thus explained some of the facts of the case, we again express our inability to under stand the exact purpose of the Sovereign of Hanover : but, whatever may be the act, or whatever its motives or consequences, for neither one nor the other are the Conservatives of England, or any portion of them, in, the slightest degree answerable. We can aver, on the best authority, that to no one member the Con savative party, most assuredly to none with whose name v'e arc acquanited, or whose rank or character confers upon him the lest title to distinction, did the Duke of Cumberland or King of It:newer com municate any particle of his intentions respecting the government of that kingdom—far less did he receive from any such Conservative one syllable of advice or eneouragenrnt tending to the curtaihnent of popular privileges. The villainous slanders of the revolutionaly press upon this subject are designed to work upon an election rabble), and will no doubt be persevered in with the more stubborn malignity, because they are devoid of truth. But it is our business to deprive them of all credit with the commmunity, and with this charge of falsehood flung in their teeth, we leave them to the exercise of their vocation.--Times. The formal dissolution of Parliament has served to deepen the interest with which the impending elec tions arc regarded. They are now the all-absorb ing subject from one extremity of the empire to the other. And it is right they should ; for they involve issues of iurinite importance to England. It cannot be too often or too earnestly impressed on tlu electoral body, that on the result of the approaching contest de pend the rights and liberties of this great country. The question will then be solved, whether freedom or des potism is henceforth to be the portion of the people of England. A more deadly struggle between these two antagonist principles has not taken place for the last century and a half. Since the Revolution of 1668, no crisis approaching the present in importance has oc curred in the vicissitudeS of these realms. The issues of all intermediate struggles between the friends of free institutions, and the advocates of tyranny, were never expected by either party to be other than tempor ar y. The results of the present conflict will be permanent. If the supporters of liberal principles achieve the victory, the Tories will be crushed for ever ; but if, unhappily, the Tories should triumph, then we foresee in the page of England's future history deeds of the blackest and , most despotic kind. The Tories knoW that the exist ing struggle is one of life or death for them. That is the reason why they are moving heaven and earth to vanquish - the friends of the Queen and of the people. They have determined on acting like desperate men ; they have made up their minds that if they are to die it shall be in the last ditch. We have no objection to their dying there—a ditch is the fittest place for them ; all that we are concerned for is that the people of Eng land should so acquit themselves in this momentous struggle as to insure the annihilation of the faction. All that the Reformers want to achieve their triumph is that they rouse themselves with becoming energy for the occasion. Their resources are most ample, if they be only brought into proper action. All that we have to fear is supineness arising from undue security. We have the Queen in our favour ; there breathes not a more sincere and decided Reformer than her Majesty. We have Mi n i sters w i t h us, an d we are fighting for a glorioust cause. Wh at more cou ld we w i s h ? A re not these enough to encourage and cheer us on to the combat e Ar e no t our prospects brilliant ? Is not, indeed, our triumph as certain as it will be glorious, if we are only true to ourselves ? A responsibility of awful magnitude attaches to every individual possessed of the elective franchise. No one can tell how much may depend on a sine-le vote in the existing state of parties, and he who votes against his conscience, or who refuses to vote at all, will incur a responsibility, the bare contemplation of which may well appal the stoutest heart. We are thus earnest in our warnings and admonitions to the electoral body of the United Kingdom, because we are thoroughly impressed with the conviction that on the issues of the impending struggle will depend the future happiness or misery of our country. Should the Tories triumph, the people of England, before six months elapse, will have to groan under as absolute a despotism as ever cursed a country. This is no rash assertion ; we speak most advisedly when we give utterance to it. Does any one question its truth ? Look at the state of Hanover at this moment. Where is its free Consti tution now ? In the dust ;it virtually exists no longer. In a few weeks it will not exist even nomi nally. And who are the authors of the substitution of despotism for a free Constitution in that country ? The very men who arG now opposed to us in this great contest. The evil genius which prompted the over throw of the Hanoverian Constitution is guiding at this moment the proceedings of the Tories i n t hi s country. Cumberland, though physically absent, is morally present in England. He has a kindred sp i r i t , or rather a part of his own nature in him " to w h om God has given great talents, but which hav e hi t h erto been under the direction of the Devil." Let but the councils of this instrument of Satan once obtain the ascendancy in the Government, and the very first act of the p arty w ill b e t o do for Great Britain what Cumberland has done for Hanover. While we bless Providence that we have escaped the infliction of this moral p est il ence as our Sovere i gn, l et its strain every nerve to avert the calamity of being subjected to the supremacy of the kindred spirits he has left behind hitn.—lllerning Advertise While the p u bli c are occupied, and deeply inte rested, as i n d ee d t h ey well may be, by the personal proceedings of a Sovereign, w h ose t n o e s e s v e a r t y t a el thing :ess she does, iing it, like the becomes c char m aor youth uco.ltfil: duty l . a d t n o t r i o t l e n o n a:l e i t i l c l i d i to public of matters of graver i mport---mat'ters fraught with consequences which must be deeply felt by ° the people, after the excitement of a new reign shall have THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JULY passed away. The ornament and the brilliancy of Government are to be found at Court, but the practical affairs, whose good or evil management produces an instant effect throughout the vast circuit of an empire —these affairs must be disposed of in the House of Commons. The serious business, then, at the pre sent important period, of all who take an interest in public affairs, should be directed to the House of Commons. Every one who regards the public insti tutions of his country must bear in mind that the dis positions of the Court, with respect to them, is, after all, not the first thing to be considered. It is the sa cred duty of the Sovereign to protect those institutions, and we doubt not that our present Sovereign will endeavour faithfully to discharge her duty towards them ; but the power to do so effectually and firmly must depend upon the preponderance of sentiment in the House of Commons. If, in that House, a party pledged to revolutionary changes, and an Administra tion weakly struggling in the toils which revolutionists have cast upon it, should still prevail over the friends of steady, cautious, constitutional improvement, the wishes of a youthful Sovereign will form but a slight barrier against our persevering foes. 'Well may we call them persevering foes, for they never cease to press for ward in pursuit of their objects, nor hesitate to take any shape of hypocrisy that the circumstances of the time may appear to render expedient. The foes to whom we allude are the Papists of Ireland, with their numerous settlements in the towns of Great Britain, and the dissenting democrats whose agents are at work even in our country villages. This mass, in every other respect discordant, acknowledges the common object of overthrowing the Constitution of Great Britain in Church and State. The time has gone by for that bold rebellion which made its appeal in arms, and decided its fate upon the field of battle. We are now in an era when such modes of deciding political controversy arc not the fashion, but the contest going on is not the less real ; it is to be decided, where it can only be decided, in the divi sions of the House of Commons. Of this the papists and the democrats are well aware, but it is not their inte rest that this should he seen by the people. They know that by their machinations the proper business of the House of Commons has been suspended, and it has become little better than the arena, upon which a continual conflict goes on for the overthrow on the one side, and the protection on the other, of the Con stitution. Sometimes all the forces are arrayed on each side, and a vital point, after three or four nights' speeches, is decided upon. For the most part, how ever, the Parliamentary business consists of a series of skirmishes, but the character of the conflict is' still the same ; it is regarding points which involve Consti tutional principles. These, which ought to repose in lofty supremacy, and ought not to be brought into dis cussion except upon the gravest and mast important occasions, are discussed night after night by a crowd of smattcrers, and all this time the business which the House of Commons ought to attend to is neglected. Nothing is so easy as for the partisans of the Ministry to cry out, that theirs is the " Liberal" cause, and that the electors who love libcry should vote with their fiiends ; hut if the people of England are of opinion that their own business should be attended to in the House of Commons, they will choose representatives who, being satisfied with the British Constitution as it now is, in Church and State, will apply themselves to the improvement of the working of that Constitution in its practical details. In other words, if the people do not prefer the objects of Irish Papists and Dissenting democrats to trul: , practical and British objects, they will vote for Membsrs who, preserving the principles upon which institutions are based, will see that these principles are honestly and extensively applied ; who, instead of voting a separation of Church and State, will vote foe increased efficiency of the Church, and for the purification of tire state machine, by the abolition of useless places and jobbing Commissions ; who, instead of voting that the lands of the Church be taken into the hands of Wing Commissioners to traffic with them, and pay the Church-rates out of the profit, will vote that Church-rates shall be more efficiently collectedand more economically applied, who, instead of voting local Par liaments for the passing of Papist supplies in Ireland, will vote for some system by %hid' the suffering poor may be relieved, and political impostors may be punish ed ; in fine, if practical and British objects are to be attended to, men must be elected who will labour to improve the laws, and not waste their time in attacks upon the organic institutions in which the power of making and amending our laws is placed. It is per fectly absurd that the House of Commons should con tinue to be what it has been for the last two years, or that a system of Government should continue which is an object of contempt both to the leaders of faction, who make use of it, and the Conservative leaders, who, in pity for its weakness, preserve it every now and then from the rough contact of its revolutionary friends. The people of England, who desire to give to their new Sovereign the means of being powerful, and to relieve her from the necessity of abandoning that which it is her duty to maintain so long as she can, will, we are persuaded, use their best endeavours to elect an honest and constitutional House of Com mons. They will exert themselves to disappoint the factious, whose pretended loyalty, divested as it is of every principle upon which reasonable loyalty depends, can deceive no one, and they will put forth their strength in support of those whose object is the up holding of the institutions on which the Queen depends for her political sovereignty and her personal safety.— Morning Herald. The Morning Chronicle, in its yesterday's review of our telegraphic despatch of the previous day, ar nouncing the approach of Don Carlos to Valencia, seems to have overlooked one very important point in the express from Narbonne of the 14th of July. The Chronicle says, " From the movements of tile Barham it would seem that Murviedro and Castellon de la Plana are both menaced." The despatch says ex pressly, " The suburbs of Castellon de la Plana have been carried by the insurgents, who were besieging that place with four battalions"—a very serious aspect of affairs, deserving of a somewhat stronger epithet than menaced." Again, our Contemporary assures us, that " Espartero intended to join the division at Te ruel." (His friends in the Cortes say, that he has paved and. ruined Spain, with his good inten tions !) It continues—" The letter of our own corres pondent, who is with General Beurens, informs us that the division under that officer was scarcely two days march from Teruel" (which is just ninety miles, across the mountains from Valencia, as a bird flies) ; and concludes—" With such a disposition, or rather concentration, of the constitutional army, within so short a distance of Valencia, it is impossible that this populous and liberal city can have ever been invested." 'This is strongly illogical ! It is a perfect illustration of the predicament " Knowing a little, presuming a Great deal, and jumping to a conclusion." Let us ex amine a moment into the impossibilities. Espartero, with double the amount of his present forces, and within half the distance he is now from the Carlist army, could not prevent the investment of Bilboa. He " intended' to approach and raise the siege of that town for a full month before he could succeed in arriving within sight of it ; and when he at last was able (by the aid of reinforcements which placed him at the head of treble the amount of troops now under his command) to commence opera tions within view of Bilboa he expended another month before " a concentration" of hail, rain, snow, wind, darkness, and a mutiny of British manufacture, carried the day, or rather carried the night, against the Carlists, and in fine carried Espartero out of bed into Bilboa. Now, we shall, perhaps, astonish our Contemporary by the confession that we have stronger grounds for believing that the capture of Valencia is a much more probable event than that of Bilboa was last year—grounds which probably will make all the mere martinets who happen to read this elevate their eyebrows somewhat incredulously. The Carlists in the Valentian expedition are without artillery. They • have no time to spare—no incendiary bombs, as they had at Bilboa : they have nobody at their head proud of hi s s kill i n the art of approaChes and parallels, covert ways, mines, and bombardments, whose taste might lead him to play at warfare. They have no scaling-ladders, nor do they carry fas eines, as they did at the assault on Bilboa (and which, by-the-bye, they were glad to throw away long ere they arrived at the fusses, and clamber through eat , brazures by the help of each other's stuck bayonets) on the night of the 26th of astober. They must now 9, 1837. feel that they have little else than their own stout arms and sharp bayonets to depend on, and that if they do not use them energetically they had better throw their arms down at once, disperse, and retire to their mountains. The fact of their advance, however, shows that they have resolved to run all hazards ; and, with their King at their .head, to share their dangers, animate their hopes, and inspire them with the con fidence and the perseverance which form such influ ential traits in his own character, the great probability is that their devotion and daring will meet with their natural reward.—Morning Post.

ROBERT CLARKSON, china dealer, Leith, July 24 and Aug. 8, at two, at the Royal Exchange, Leith. The following anecdote of her Majesty, illustrative of her sound judgment and of her kind and affectionate feelings towards the Queen Dowager, may be relied on. On Monday last, Col. Wood, of Littleton, one of the executors of our late lamented Monarch, William the Fourth, waited on her Ma jesty relative to the disposal of some of his late Majesty's pro perty, when, on his pressing the Queen for an answer on one of the points, her Majesty, with much firmness, said, " I would rather think about that matter first—perhaps I shall let you know to-morrow my determination on the subject." Col. Wood then said he had another favour to beg of her Majesty, which was, that the Queen Dowager had a great partiality for a few trifling articles of furniture which had been favourites with her lamented Consort, but which she did not wish to disturb, or to remove from Windsor Castle, without leave ; to which her Majesty with great emotion immediately re plied, " Oh, my dear Colonel, let the dear Queen have them by all means, and any thing else in the Castle which she may desire." ANECDOTE OF QUEEN ELIZABETII.—An anec dote is told, which exhibits Queen Elizabeth's character in a peculiar light, and explains in some degree the secret of that love and veneration which was always shown to her by the people. While the Queen was rowed in her barge on the Thames, attended by her courtiers, a shot was fired, which wounded one of the bargemen ; an enquiry was commenced on the spot, and finding it was done by accident, she immediately gave the person his liberty, without further punishment or in vestigation. So far was she, indeed, from entertaining any suspicion against her people, that she was often heard to say, " she would lend credit to nothing against them that parents would not believe of their own children."—James's Memoirs o f Celebrated Women. MUNGO PARK'S SON.—It was at Accra that Mr. Thomas Park, son of the celebrated traveller, was landed as a midshipman from the Sybille, with three years' leave of ab sence, to travel into the interior, and search for his father. 1 - he was a fine tall Scotch lad, only 19 years of age, and with out any knowledge of the world. His death has been com monly ascribed to poison, administered to him in vengeance for haring imprudently ascended a fetiche or sacred tree ; but the real cause was his obstinacy in rejecting the advice of the resi dent merchants of Accra. He lived for three months in the town, and though he had frequent invitations to take up his quarters with the Europeans, he preferred remaining in a hut with designing natives, who plundered him. There he indulged in drinking spirits, married an Accra wife by way of learning the language, though th e di a l ect at A ccra i s t o tally different from those in the interior ; and took long walks in the heat of the day, with the view of hardening himself. The consequence of these imprudences was, that when he set out to cross the Volta his constitution was already completely broken ; he was thin and weak ; he caught a fever after a few marches, and fell another victim to African discovery.—Alexander's Voyage. PitisLEY.—We regret to state that the prospects we have held out of an improvement in trade for the two last weeks have not been realised. Some heavy failures in the shawl trade, and severe losses sustained by several manufac turing houses, have again damped the brightening prospect, and have been the cause of a considerable number of work men being thrown idle. The men employed by the relief Com mittee this week stand at the extraordinary number of 1,989, and the wives and children dependent on them at 8,067. The applicants at the soup kitchen have remained nearly stationary as to numbers since this day week, the number of portions given out running about 1,800. We have again had a remit tance from our kind friends at Edinburgh, who altcgether have sent to Paisley not less than from 1,5001. to 1,6001. We are sorry to learn that the Edinburgh subscription is nearly ex hausted, and we really do not know how the misery is to be met after being deprived of such a source of supply.—Glasgow Chronicle.
