It was also laid dowr, as contended for mewed, that if the owner of gOods so thrown away or consented to the improper stowage, he had no re to ' a t all. But it was not in all cases an improper stowage stow h p g° o ds upon the deck—at least this had been laid down 'glish Courts—and the present was a case in which afe and proper usage w arranted the stowage of the timber tr n d "=:, and therefore when it became necessary to throw ri. the s hi p goods overboard the plaintiff was entitled to contribution 14 5 and cargo, which were saved by the sacrifice of property. XCIIEQUE COURT.-(THIS DA Y.) The A ROBERT 3 V.

Our read ers may remem b er t h e f ac t s o f this case, as we de fend them when the first application was made. The . de tant had objected to the name of the plaintiff remaining on the lig o f voters for B at h —t h e part i es a ppeared before the evi sing Barrister—and a fter being detained half an hour r,e; name of the plaintiff was allowed to rema i n on t h o "try, Conceiving that he had been wrmgfully ob .4"..ut_ed to, i he summoned the defendant to the Court of ests n order to obtain compensation for loss of time, and the C ommissioners awarded him the sum of lOs. T he Learned ATTORNEY-GENERAL now contended that tinder the 45th Geo. 111., c. 67, the Court of Requests had power to determine all questions in dispute, where the sum (lid i °t exceed 5/. Lookiiirr at the 16th in connection with the 'th and 211 sections of that Act, it was clear that the case /46 within the jurisdiction of the Court, while by the 12d sec tion all p rocee di ngs i n th a t Court of Requests were final, a could not be disputed or appealed from.

LITERATURE. THE PRESENT STATE of the CONTROVERSY BETWEEN the CATHOLIC and PROTESTANT CHURCHES. Br HUNTER GORDON, Esq., of Lin. cola's Inn, Barrister at Law. This is a work of great ability, on a subject of the utmost importance to the peace of this nation in the tha present state of civil and religious parties. It is written with great force and elegance ; and, in those parts in which the author treats of the history and progress of religious opinion in general, with powers of argumentation equally comprehensive and profound. Thou g h now and then marked by that tone of anxiety, aml perhaps exaggeration, which distinguish the plead ings of a professional advocate, it treats the contro versy between the two great divisions of the Western Church with perfect impartiality ; and is almost the only work in which we have ever seen the peculiar merits of the Catholic Church fairly and fully stated by a dispassionate spectator of the contest. If any of our readers labour under the dread of Popery, or are infected with that Orange rage which is the disgrace of the Protestant cause in this empire, we recommend to their perusal this little work, as a specific for their fears, and a sovereign antidote for their theological rage. Mr. Gordon proves that, so far from there being any ground to apprehend, in the present age, an excess of faith, or a disposition towards that implicit submission which the It omish theology enjoins, the real danger lies all on the other side : he places it beyond all question, by facts as well as reasoning, that the current of human opinion has long been running towards phi losophical scepticism, rather than reverence for sacred authority ; that, instead of any tendency to extend the province of faith, or multiply either objects of worship or articles of belief, being the besetting sin of the age, the only real danger and object of apprehension with sincere believers in Christianity is the abuse of the Protestant prin'ciple, and a license of disquisition on the subject matter of revelation, subversive of the very principle of religious belief ; and that, human reason having been let loosely the Reformers, it is no longer pessible to set bounds to the operations of that discur sive principle on the miracles and mysteries of Chris tianity. Mr. Gordon's fundamental position is, that rational ism is a mortal distemper in the Protestant religion, of which it must inevitably perish. His account, in con firmation of this view, of the state of religious opinion in the Protestant Provinces of Germany, is one of the most interesting parts of the volume, and will be, to many, entirely new. It has always appeared to us that the real gist of the perhaps interminable contro versy between the two Churches lies here; and although O'Sullivan, M‘Ghee, and the other ignorant men who go about as incendiaries, are wholly incapable of coping with this view of the subject, we should be glad to see the Romish theology taken up on this point by some able English divine. The following short extract is a specimen of the author's manner : " The Protestant Church, considering man rather as an intellectual than an active being, attaches itself mainly to points of doctrine, and endeavours to regulate his sentiments through the medium of his understanding, rather than by directly addressing his affections. It undertakes to satisfy the jealous scrutiny of unbelief ; it sets before man, in a systematic form, his relation to the Deity ; and by analogies drawn from every part of creation, by appeals to his expe rience, by the analysis of his moral constitution, labours to reconcile his judgment to that theological system which revelation offers to his assent. It is rich, not only in con troversial- divinity, but in philosophical theology, illustrated by the largest views of the Divine Administration, and by the harmony of the whole scheme of the universe, as it lies before us in thin risible world, or has been revealed by miraculous attestation. As the subtilties into which it fre quently falls necessarily engender differences of opinion, and schisms are unavoidable in such abstract reasonings, it has not always been able to escape controversy, or maintain the unity of spirit. " The Roman Catholic religion regards man rather as an active than a reasonable being; and applying itself directly to his heart and affections, prefers practice to speculation, and discipline to dogmatic theology. It is a practical system of coutroul, rather than a scheme of theo retic principles ; and, far from undertaking to satisfy the rational and philosophising sceptic, it stifles his inquiries in their birth. It turns men's eyes to ?yards a future world, not so much by a regard to their great interests, and by maxims of a cautious prudence, as by alluring their imagi nation, and by so disposing the scenery (if I may be allowed the expression) which revelation presents to the view, as to break the fascination of temporal scenes. Penitence is ever its frame, while it rebukes with indignation the wanton triumph and security with which profane and presumptuous mortals present themselves before the Moral Governor of the world. But policy made it assume an austere mien in many of its monastic orders ; superstition threw its ascetic hue over all its renitential rites ; and its moral expression is lost in that antique and almost barbaric air which it has contracted in its exceedingly long transmission through so rude ages." TIIE QUEEN'S VISIT TO THE OPERA BUFFA. —The Queen attended the Opera Buffs last Thursday night. State on this occasion was dispensed with, and her Majesty came in the most quiet and simple manner possible. She passed into the house through a corridor on the stage, which has been constructed solely for her accommodation ; and she entered her box as if desirous not to create any embarrassment to the audience. She slipped down instantly to her place, and drew the curtain before her, to serve as a screen from general ob servation. The Duchess of Kent took a seat close to her Majesty ; and the Duchess of Sutherland, who at fist occupied one of the front chairs, retired behind the Queen, where she was joined by the Marquis Conyngham, in at tendance on their Royal mistress. The Queen remained en sconced behind the curtain the greater part of the evening, and it was only occasionally that she was observed taking a sly peep at the audience. She preserved her incognito to the last,.and left at the close of the opera with the same noiseless forms as when she entered. The audience allowed her Majesty to enter and depart without the usual denionEtra tion of recognition. There was no applause; her desire to be unknown was respected, and it is to be hoped that the dis creet manner in which she was received will induce her to re peat the visit. ,The house was fully and fashionably attended. The Duke of Wellington was present, and all the principal Nobility now in London. The opera was Elixir d'Ainore, in which Madame Franclieschini and M. Labl ache so lately made their debut. The opera, on the whole, passed of well. SHEFFIELD, ASHTON-UNDER-LYNE, AND MAN eim,TER RAu.wAY.—We are authorised to state that the above undertaking is in a progrsssive and daily-improving state, and that operations will be commenced early in Spring. Tho statement which appeared in several of the papers rela tive to its abandcnment is wholly without foundation.—Man chester Times.—We are authorized to state that a deputation consisting of Robert Hunter, Esq. of Manchester, Messrs. Thomas Wiley and John Haslehurst, of Sheffield, representing proprietors of this Railway, holding in the aggregate 2.200 shares and upwards, waited upon Thomas Asline Ward, Esq. the Secretary, on Saturday last, u ith a requisition, requiring the Directors to call a special general meeting of the share holders to take into consideration the propriety of abandoning the above undertaking, and dividing the assets rateably amongst the proprietors. At the last meeting, held in October, the balance in hand was stated to be about 12,0001., which would be rather more than 21. per share.—Sheffield Iris. Yesterday morning, at a quarter past nine o'clock, an accident occurred which might have been attended with loss of life, and ought to be a caution to coachmen. As a gentleman was handing in the third lady from No. 12, Pallmall- West—a wedding party—the horses started off at full speed, the door being open, which, with the steps, were dasheed fortu nto pieces against the lamp - p ost. A gig and waggon werately standing opposite Forster's Rooms, and stopped their pro tilthe fright. No person was at the horses' h, pro gress. The ladies kep t their seats, a e n a 4 ds e ‘ s v e h a i p le ed the wi coach man was holding the door. MRs. GORE'S NEW WORK.--We have ever thought that Mrs. Gore's short tales arc even more felicitous, because more condensed in their aim, interest, and effect, than her more extended and ambitious novels. The work now an nounced from her fertile and brilliant pen, consists, as we un derstand, of several talCs, in more than one of which (but.par ticularly the leading one, " Mary Raymond") she has exercised y that extraordinary powe r o f pathos in which few , if a n y , modern writers have exceeded h er . Th e hi s t o r of Mary Raymond offers, if we are not misinformed, o n e of the most touchi n g and impressive pictures ever given eian to ili t - h a e ss w or o t r e l d d, rn ol u those Many terrible a results which too often attend y are the Mary Raymonds of real life, and especial) , of high life ; hot there is only one Mrs. Gore to set forth their history i n a point of view that brings it home to-the perception and the heart of that society, from iJig Xll-constitution of which the evil springs. A CANARY. ---A Canary bird, long a pp ver;:4l favourite, which had warbled its wood -notes wild fir the bepeat of at least one generation, died at the Porter's Lodge, Jardine hall, in the beginning of the present month, at the advanced age of 20 years.—Dun fries Courier, many SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1837. SUN EXPRESSES. DUBLIN.—THURSDAY. The Express Edition of The Sun arrived in Dublia yes terday morning, conveying all the important intelligence respecting the Address on her Majesty's Speech that was known in London on Tuesday, and which did not arrive here, through any other channel, before this morning. It was very difficult to get. a peep at any of the numbers throughout the different news and club-rooms, so intense was the anxiety, and so great the crowds of persons press ing round and calling for The Sun, in order to collect the sentiments of the House of Commons, on this most inte resting occasion. The consequence was, that very few persons, comparatively speaking, could have any idea, except from hearsay, of all that took place in the House of Commons on Monday night, until after the republication of your report by the Dublin papers. So far, then, as public opinion can be collected, as to the probable result of the present session of Parliament, the phrase " qUot homines tot sententice," is almost univer sally the exponent of men's sentiments at this moment in the metropolis of Ireland. The Queen's Speech was ad mitted by the shrewdest quid mines of every party to have been most judicious ; and as well adapted to the period of her Majesty's first Parliament, under very trying circumstances, as could well be imagined. There was nothing of which either party in this country could complain, much less had they any very great cause to rejoice, inasmuch as the speech from the Throne was so vague as not to give cause of offence or apprehension to the one, or of very sanguine ex pectations to the other. In this state of men's minds the debate on Mr. Wakley's amendment and its result arrived. Every sentiment uttered on the occasion by the several speakers has been greedily devoured, and not yet well di gested. Some of the more superficial observers think there is vacillation among the leaders of the two great parties, Whig and Tory ; the former being disposed to relax a little of the principle on which they were called into office—the latter:willing to surrender and abandon much of the principle or prejudice which must for ever keep them out of office. Those who speculate on the coalition that may possibly be formed in a short time, under these cir cumstances, are not few. Those of the Orange or Tory faction, who hope for a change beneficial to themselves, are more numerous. But those who think they see in the va riety of independent opinion expressed on all sides addi tional proofs of the strength and permanency of the pre sent Government are by far the preponderating num ber. And though this latter class be not all the ha bitual speculators, or most profound thinkers, it certainly embraces the best reasoners on the present posture of af fairs. " I shall be compelled, says Burke, to conclude the principle of Parliament to be totally corrupted, and there fore its ends entirely defeated when I see two symptoms ; first, a rule of indiscriminate support to all Ministers, be cause this destroys the very end of Parliament as a con trol, and is a general previous sanction to misgovernment ; and secondly, the setting up any claim adverse to the right of free election ; for this toji to subvert the legal autho rity, by which the House lIPC ominous sits." The princi ples of Parliament are not now corrupted ; for though cor ruption is not abolished altogether by Reform, still it is so to such an extent that Ministers can never reckon upon it alone for their sustainment. The proceedings of Mon day night prove plainly, that the present Government arc not sustained by any party in the House from corrupt motives. If they were, they would command that party's votes on every occasion. But they could not command a section of these Radicals to vote with them an unanimous address to her Majesty, however anxious they were to do so ; and yet they have these Radicals with them on the para mount national questions, by the advancing of which they have obtained, and still hold their places. On the other hand, they had with them every one of the Tories, who dared not oppose an address to her Majesty, approving of a Speech wherein her Majesty most graciously directs the attention of Parliament to questions interesting to all the people. They dare not oppose it, because their consti tuency would not allow them, on such plain questions of national expediency, to pursue their own factious or selfish policy. Here then we have a Government, for the first time in the history of England, ruling according to public opinion, and con c ili a ti ng th e j arr i ng i n t e rests of opposite parties, by the soundness of their policy. To be sure they have not the same tenure of office which Ministers, go verning by large majorities, used to have before Reform. But so much the better for the people. They must be more. circumspect :in their conduct, always ready to give an ac count of their stewardship. These views of public affairs are becoming very prevalent in this part of the United Kingdom. The next proceeding in Parliament looked forward to with hope and satisfaction by the people of Ireland, is the encounter which your report of Tuesday's debates an nounces to take place on Monday next in the Lords, be tween Lords Mulgrave and Rodeo. I stated in a former communication that his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant would afford his opponents an opportunity of verifying, if they could, all the statements made by their organs this time past. It will be shown that no period of eighteen months, for a great many years past, has exhibited Ireland in a more tranquil and happy state than she has enjoyed during the last eighteen months—l might say two years, of E ar l Mulgrave's Administration. Tile very fact of a Lord Lieu tenant of Ireland attending in his place in Parliament to de fend his acts, is a novelty not known in the days of exclu sive patronage. We have to express our obligations to the proprietors of The Sun newspaper, for their dispatch in forwarding an Express Edition of The Sun on Monday, containing the de bate and division on the Address. This editim brought the proceedings in Parliament down to half-past eleven o'clock on Monday night. At least three hours must have elapsed before the express left London, and it was received in Glasgow by the Messrs. A. Rutherglen and Co. at two o'clock on Wednesday. It proved of essential service in enabling•us to give the debate at some length in this day's Argus.—Glasgow Argus. We are indebted for the very full report of the proceed ings in Parliament to the spirited proprietor of The Sun who forwarded to this city Express Editions of that paper, bringing down the debate to a late hour, and exhibiting a n instance of almost unparalleled exertion, by giving thirteen columns and a half of the very important discussion that took place on the Address. Through the kindness of the active agents of The Sun, Messrs. Robertson and Scott, and the courtesy or Sir Edward Lees, we received copies of the paper.—Edinburgli Evening Courant. EXTRAORDINARY DESPATCII.—We are again indebted to the spirited exertions of Mr. Murdo Young, effectually seconded by Mr. Wiley, of Sheffield, for the receipt of his Express Edition of The Sun. A copy of that Journal reached this office soon after nine o'clock on Tuesday night, containing nearly the whole of the debate in both Houses of Parliament on the Address in answer to the Royal Speech on Monday night. Three expresses were received in Sheffield on Tuesday : first, with the Speech, at five minutes past ten A.M.—the next, or Second Edition, with the debates up to seven o'clock, at half-past twelve ; and the Express Edition at half-past seven r.m. We received copies of each of these. Mr. Young went himself to Liver pool, via Birmingham, in a chaise and four, and thence by a steam carriage expressly engaged for that purpose. These exertions are, we believe, unparalleled.—Doncaster Gazette. - THE DEBATE.—For the ample report which we publish to-day we are indebted to the spirited proprietor of The Sun.—le, eewan's Jot) nal, Thursday. BoULOGNE-SUR-MER, Nov. 22.—This morning, about half-past six o'clock, an accident happened to the Erne raid steamer. The steamer left London yesterday morning at five o'clock, but the Captain (Jones), in consequence of the boisterous state of the weather, and the wind being " di rectly in his teeth," deemed it advisable, in the course of the day, to put into Ramsgate harbour. Early this morning, the wind being more favourable, the Emerald left Ramsgate, and arrived here at half-past six o'clock. Just, however, as the vessel was on the point of entering the harbo ur, the chain which connects the wheel with the rudder snapped in two, thus leaving her completely at the mercy of the wind and waves. She immediately struck against the eastern end of the jetty, and with such force as to knock away a consider able portion of the pier. The figure-head of the steam er was torn away, and a great portion of the surrounding parts of the vessel. She is now undergoing the necessary repairs. A few days ago a young man came to take lessons of a distinguished professor of fencing, on pretence o f being engaged to fight a duel, and at length begged his master to find him a second, stating that the arms to be used had at length been settled to be pistols. The-master did so : the young man b orrowe d his unknown second's pistols, and , w hile proceeding to the ground, contrived to get rid of the second, and walked off with a new case of pistols worth 500 f. A curious case, according to the Franconian Mer cury, has been lately brought before a Magistrate at Vienna.

SUICIDE.—At Kirkton, parish of Kirkmahoe, on Saturday week, Janet Smith, an elderly, industrious, and re. spectable individual was found suspended by the neck from a joist in the garret of her house. Surgical assistance was im mediately called for, but proved unavailing—life having been for some considerable time extinct. The cause for the com mission of this rash act is unknown.—Dumfries Courier. About eight o'clock on the evening of Saturday last, a woman named Devellin threw herself into the Nith from the Dock. Mr. Wallace, of the National Bank, who heard the plunge, and suspected the worst, immediately procured a light and assistance, and succeeded in rescuing the infatuated woman from her perilous position—little the worse, if we ex cept the effects which may reasonably be expected to arise from a thorough ducking on a November night. Habits of irregularity and consesuent want are assigned as the cause of the insane attempt.—Dun fries Courier.

POLITICAL MOVEMENTS IN UPPER CANADA. (From Montreal Papers received to the 4th instant.) " GREAT MEETING OF THE FIVE COUNTIES. " ST. MARC, Tuesday Morning, Four o'Clock. " The meeting of the Five Couaties took place yesterday at noon, at St. Charles. There were pr.:scnt at least 5,000 persons. The roads throughout the country arc in a bad state. Were it not for that circumstance, the number present at tho meeting would have been double what it was. The delegates from the several parishes were in regular attendance, and ap peared to feel the importance of the business which brought them together. " At a little after noon the proceedings of the day com menced. The people met in a large meadow, near the village. Among the gentlemen present were thirteen members of the House of Assembly, and one member of the Legislative Coun cil, who came as delegate from Vereh6res. Every gentleman of character and influence on the river Chambly and adjoining p rislics, was on the groun.l, and among them were to be seen many, who, up to this day, entertained very moderate opinions, but Idiom Lord Gosford's policy has driven into a determina tion to stand by their country, come what will. " Wolfred Nelson, Esq., of St. Denis, presided over the meeting. The meeting was addressed by the President, the Mr. Papineau, L. M. \Tiger, Esq. M. P. P., L. Lacoste, Esq., M.P. P., C. H. O'Cote, Esq., M. P. P., E. E. Rodier, Esq., M. P. P., T. S. Brown, E - 3q., and Mr.. Girod. The resolutions passed on,this occasion are 13 in number. They commenced by briefly enumerating the rights of man, among which is that of changing its political institutions, and altering the form of its Government whenever the people please. The inhabitants of the several counties arc next incited to meet simultaneously in their respective parishes in the month of December, and elect magistrates and officers of militia; any person accepting a commission from this time to Lord Gos ford's departure is declared infamous. One of these recom mendations, it will be recollected; is to train the militia. The recent nominations to the Legislative and Executive Councils are gravely censured, together with the baneful policy pursued by Lord Gosford. The meeting protests strongly against the introduction of armed troops iu time of peace in the celony. The meeting afterwards solemnly approves the organization of The Sons of Liberty' in Montreal, and calls on the young men throughout the. country to organize themselves into similar bodies, in their respective parishes, to be prepared to assist the Society in Montreal whenever circumstances call on them to act. " I forgot to state that previous to the resolutions having been proposed, Dr. Cote, one of the members for L'Acadie County, came on the ground at the head of a delegation from the County, and presented an energetic and well-written address, to the people of the Five Counties, en the state of the Province, and praying that the County of L'Acadie be admitted into the union of these Counties. This proposi tion was agreed to with acclamation, amid the firing of vollies of musketry and the roar of cannon, and it was fur ther resolved, that the Connties of Laprairie and Missisquoi (bordering on the Richelieu river), may join the confederation if they think proper. Tb's will make eight counties instead of fire. Duri,g the meeting. a company of botween 60 and 100 militia men attended kith arms on the grow: d, under the com mand of Captains Lacaisse and Jalbett. They went through their manoeuvres in very good style; a volley was fired at the passing of every resolution. " A very handsome column, surmounted with ' a cap o f Liberty,' was erected, on the occasion, in honour of Papi neau, on the ground. It bears an inscription of which the following is a translation :-1 To Papineau, by his grateful brother patriots, 1836.' After the meeting was over, Mr. Papineau was led to the front of the column, and addressed by one of the gentlemen, to which the Honourable Gentle man replied in a suitable manner. The young men who at tended the meeting afterwards marched in procession to this pillar, before which they sung a popular hymn, and, laying their hands on the column, swore that they would be faithful to their country, and conquer or die for her. This solemn vow was registered in the hearts of all present, amidst vollies of musketry and the thunders of artillery. It was a solemn and impressive sight."— Vindicator. Res Cautions ad — opted by the Whitchurch Union Society :- 2.—That we view with hatred and abhorrence the course adopted by the British Government relative to Lower Canada, and that it is our duty not only to sympathise with, but in case of the inforcement of Lord John Russell's resolutions, to support the Lower Canadians in their struggle of indepen dence. A.—That for as much as F. B. Head has virtually suc ceeded in wresting from this Province the same inestimable right that Lord John Russell's atrocious measure of coercion would take from the Sister Colony by force; namely, the the control of the provincial revenue, by which a constitutional check might be exercised over the corruption of the execu tive ; we most heartily sympathize with the people of Lower Canada, and wholly approve of the course taken by Louis Joseph Papincau, and the majority of the House of Assembly of Lower Canada ; we consider their cause to be our cause, and tender to them our warmest thanks and gratitude for their manful support of civil and religious liberty. MONTREAL, OCT. 16.—1 f Cord Gosford will not arm the loyal inhabitants of Lower Canada ; he may rest assured that they will arm themselves. This is no vain, no idle threat, We speak not from hearsay, but from actual knowledge, and from what we know of the inflammable state of parties in this city, we are very much deceived if blood, and to a considerable extent, is not shed before the first day of January next. The law of God requires that peaceful subjects should use all lawful means to protect their lives and properties, and though the law of Lord Gosford, does not coincide with it, his proclamations will be treated as so much waste-paper, and thrown to the four winds of heaven. The " Sons of Liberty" arc armed ; and the different clubs in op position are arming themselves I.kcwise.—Heruld. QUEBEC, 17 Oct. 1837.—Some military movements have been spoken of for the cantonment of the troops during the winter months, and active preparations are making for carrying them into execution. The posts to be occupied are said to be Carrillon, on the Lake of the Two Mountains, Three Ri vers, William Henry and perhaps, Chambly. Some pieces of field artillery will, it is also said, be sent with some of these detachments. The men of the regiments in this garrison be longing to the companies which arc to proceed to the canton ments arc in the highest spirits, as British soldiers always are when they think there is a prospect of coming in contact with the foes of their Sovereign, of their country, or of the Constitu t ion. —Mercury. TORONTO, OCT. 20.—We understand that Lieutenant-Ge neral Sir John Colborne, the Commander of the Forces in the Canadas, has written to his Excellency the Lieutenant Go vernor, requesting to know what troops can be spared from this Province, should their services be required below ; to which his Excellency is understood to have replied all. Re lying on the well-tried lo)alty of the militia, and inhabitants generally of Upper Canada, Sir Francis Head is willing to trust the tranquillity and safety of the common weal, as well as the dignity of the Crown, and the prerogative of our gra cious Queen, in their hands.—Patriot. Sir John Colborne is purchasing horses for military opera ions in all parts of Lower Canada. _ DISARMII 7 4O THE MlLlTlA.—Letters from the Credit advise us, that on Friday last Capt. Magrath called his company of militia men out, and ordered them to deliver up to him their arms and accoutrements. About forty stand of arms, of which they had had possession for several yeirs, were thus taken from them. Of course their loyalty is doubted in time of war. We sec the object of this ruovern,mt. It is to dis arm the faithful and peaceable yeomanry, fir the purpose of strengthening the bands of the vile Orange bullies who figured at aurchville, and the like of them. Thus is the supremacy of the Church of England to be upheld.— Vindicator. NEW YORK MONEY-MARKET. (From the New York Courier and Inquirer, received to the Bth instant, inclusive.) " SPECIE, NOV, 7.

We observe the sale yesterday, at Phi ladelphia, of a Treasury note for 700 dollars, at 34 per cent. premium. " The business in stock has been limited, but generally at improved rates, and the general appearance of the market is decidedly more favourable. United States Bank, 1191. " The money-market continues without any new feature of moment to notice. At Philadelphia, during the past week, we learn that money had been in rather more demand, and less easily obtained. Large investments had been made by capitalists, which had the effect of taking a considerable amount of floating capital out of the market. " The business done in bills on Europe for the packets of the Bth inst. has been but moderate, and generally without . change on former rates—viz. 154 per cent. premium on Eng land ; 4f. 95c. on France ; 42 cents. on Holland ; 371 cents. on Hamburgh ; and 834 to 844 on Bremen. The amount of bills offered on France ims been very limited, and unequal to the demand, but with this exception a larger amount of paper has been in market on other pl ac es than could be negotiated. The packets, it i s re p or t e d, will take out a light amount of specie. The scat. Levin Jones, at New Orleans 29th ult. from Tam pion, brought 102,000 dols. in specie. The New Orleans Price Current of the 29th ultimo, states that the money market continued about the same, and it could be had for very geed paper at 11 per cent. per month. Doubloons had advanced 50 cents. The rates for Missippi money had advanced ; this perhaps may . be attributed to the course pursued by the Banks, of advancing on, and purchas ing Cotton, as is thouet there at very high rates. The fol. rates for specie:—Dollars 101 a 11 per lcoewnit.ngprweienr.e the ; Spanish doubloons, 18 dols. ; Mexican ditto, 17 dols. ; American gold, 11 per cent. prem. ; Sovereigns, A dots. 125 c.

We were indifferent as to the place of meeting ; a preference for Baltimore was expressed by no other banks than those of the Virginia ; and the doubt whether those of that city would unite with us renthred it inexpedient, in our opinion, to select it for the seat of the convention. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—As : i on have on several former occasions kindly con sented to insert in your valuable Journal communications ro, lative to the condition of the Two-penny Post Letter Carriers of the metropolis, they will feel under additional obligations by ?our giving publicity to the following. statement TWO- PENNY POST-bFFICE. In consequence of the recent arrangement cf the Post office, whereby from the 14th instant an additional delivery of letters per day has been made in the metropolis, the duty and fatigue of the Letter-carriers has been thereby rendered ex tremely severe and harassing, and fur which they have not re ceived any increase of wages. Their labour, which has been always very arduous, and in consequence of which they have for several years past petitioned several successive Post-musters General, and recently the House of Commons, prating for an increased remuneration, but hitherto in vain, has by this ar rangement been made additionally laborious, as. instead of three deliveries of letters per day, as formerly, they now per form three deliveries one day, and four on the ensuing day ; as likewise three additional collections of letters from the re ceiving-houses per week, for which they now receive no more than the former scanty allowance of 20s. per week ; for though by an arrangement of the Post-office an increase of ss, per week was added to the wages of the 80 senior Letter-car riers, which - took place, for the first time, last Friday, the 17th instant ; When it is considered that the number of Letter carriers employed is between 500 and 600, and that no Letter carrier can get into the class of the senior 80 under 20 years of service (for the years of service of the present senior 80 vary from 46 to 19 years of service), the benefit of this new arrangement is in a great measure destroyed by being made contingent when such a protracted period of service--for the junior Letter.carriers look upon it as almost impossible ever to /Main the benefit—for what the Letter-carriers require is better pay for the hard labour, fatigue, and number of days they are actually daily engaged in the public service. Under these circumstances, it is the intention of the Letter-carriers to lay a statement of their case before the Lords of the Treasury as early as possible, in hopes that their hitherto long-neglected claims will be ultimately taken into the favourable considers-. tion of their Lordships.

This situation we observe, has been conferred on Mr. J. B. Gracie, W. S. We are aware of Mr. Gracie's merits, and have no wish, by what we are about to say, to underrate them. But Mr. Gracie is a Reformer only of yesterday when com pared with some Caters, whose claims, otherwise, are equal to his, We ha% e amongst us individuals who were Reformers in the worst of times, and who have since remained, even till this moment, firm and energetic in forwarding the great cause of Reform. And yet these gentlemen gave hitherto been overlooked by Government. We refer, in particular, to Mr. William Moffat, the friend and legal adviser of Thomas •Muir, and whose attachment to the cause in which he suffered (for he was at one time obliged to fly, and for a considerable period to remain in concealment,) is in creased only with years. We do not enjoy the personal acquaintance of Mr. Moffatt, but he is known to ourselves and to all our fellow citizens, as a most respectable man in all the relations of life, whether public or private. We cannot but say that the Government is wrong in not considering his long and valuable services in the cause of the people ; and we did hope that some mark of the estimation in which he is held—some notice of his high claims—would, ere now, haves been manifested by a Liberal Ministry. Not merely Edinburgh, but Liberals throughout Scotland generally, would be grail fled if some substantial tokens of respect and gratitude were conferred on Mr. Moffatt ; which would be regarded not merely as a compliment to himself personally, but as a mark of honour conferred on Muir and his patriotic' associates, and on the cause in which they suffered. We hold, indeed, that it would be discreditable to the Ministry and Ow country if Mr. Moffit's merits were to be overlooked. We cannot, however, think that such will be much longer the case. On the contrary, we flatter ourselves that his merits will, ere long, meet with the attention to which they arc so eminently entitled. Let younger men wait. Mr. Motrat has the first and best claim. We may mention, b,Aides, that the situation of Commissary Clerk is almost a sinecure, the duties being performed by deputy. if such is the case, why appoint an upper functionary—a sinecurist—who derives a handsome sa lary for doing nothing ?—Edinburgh Chronicle. BRADFORD MARKET-THURSDAY. WOOL MARKET.—The transactions which have taken place in both long and short Wool have been about th e same extent as last week ; the previous advlace is likewise fully maintained. It is evident, however, that Staplers are not very sanguine as to a fu: they rise, fel unless the manufacturers so:in discover an improvement' both in demand and p:ice, their decreased consumption must determine a slackening in the raw material. Blanket and Flannel Wool remains very scarce. It is not likely that New South Wales Combing Wool will continuo long without an advance, as the quantity on sale is becoming very limited.

Thiers's History of the French Revolution," has now reached its eighth number. We never read, we confess, any narrative so full of absorbing in terest—so deep a tragedy as that related in the number pub lished this morning. Every body ought to read the terrible details in this book—details not of mere gratuitous excitement, but embodyinc , an awful and ewluring lesson. By its cheap. ness and periodical issue, this valuable work is placed within tile moans of all classes of the community.
