TUESDAY EVENING.—A report has been current, that among the purchases of stock by which the late rise was produced weed static to d large extent for the account of the Bank of England; but to this, credit ought not to be given without the clearest evidence of the fact, since it Would be, to my the least of it, an d co ns id er i ng a ll t h e circumstances of the time, a eery questionable proceeding on their part. The point is not whether the funds are a good security for the Bank to hold, for it has repeatedly been shown during the late panic, that English stock, and Consols especially, would be a most excellent medium for Preparing for immediate publication, in 4 vols. post Bro., (Printed uniformly with the Life of Mrs. Hannah More), with Portraits, &c. MEMOIRS OF THE LIFE OF WILLIAM WILBERFORCE. By his Sons, ROBERT ISAAC WILBERFORCE, M.A., Vicar of East Farleigh, late of Oriel College; And SAMUEL WILBERFORCE, M.A., Rector of Brighstone. These Memoirs are drawn from a Journal in which, during a pe riod of fifty years, Mr. R ilberforce was accustomed to record his private sentiments and his remarks on the incidents of the day-- from his Correspondence with his distinguished cotemporaries, Mr. Pitt, Lord Grenville, Lord Melville, Mr. Windham, Mr. Canning, Lord Liverpool, Lord Muncaster, the Emperor Alexander, Prince Talleyrand, La Fayette, Jeremy Bentham, Dr. Currie, Dr. Burgh, Bishop Porteus, the Rev. William Mason, Dean Milner, the Rev. Join Newton, the Rev. John Wesley, John Thornton, Esq., Henry Thornton, Esq., James Stephen, Esq., Willi am H ay, E sq., Lady Waldegra ve , M rs . Hannah More, &c. &c. &c. John Murray, Albemarle-street. making money scarce, by pressing upon the Stock Exchange instead of trade, which is the case when the discounts are suddenly straitened ; but whether it is prudent for the Bank just now to add to their amount of securities, which can only be done by an increased issue of Bank-notes. Were a proportionate amount of the dead weight, or of their annuity from the Government, previously sold, there could be no objection to the proceeding ; but to increase the circulation, now already redundant, can be justified on no ground of public utility, and can only arise from the avidity to make a large dividend, which is continually lead ing the Bank astray from the right path. Some say that it is for the East India Company that the late purchases were made, others that the money of the East India Com pany has been employed in them, but that the Bank is the direct4ent for the investment, having consented to allow intores _AA .iudia•Company on their surplus de posits, but pre erring itself to take the actual control and guidance of them. Whatever the exact nature of the operatidn may be, it cannot long be kept secret. The failure of the highly respectable house of Parsons and Co. in the Russia trade was made known this morning. This house is of more than half-a-century's standing, and the respected principal is stated to be more than 80 years of age. It is seldom that an event of the kind has created so much regret in the city, where the party was generally esteemed, and especially in the particular commercial circle with which he was connected. The failure is said to be for about 100,0001., and to have been caused principally by speculation s in tallow.—Tintes. TUESDAY.—The failure of an old established house in the Baltic trade, that of Messrs. Edward Parsons and Co., was announced this morning ; but although they are under difficulties for the present, in consequence of being very extensive holders of tallow, it is expected that the bona fi de as se t s o f t h e h ouse will ' realize a handsome divi dend, if they do not enable the firm to resume active ope rations. The liabilities are estimated at about 90,0001. — Morning Chronicle. GLEIG'S NEW WORK. C Just ready, i n 3 vo l s . pos t 8. 0. , HELSEA COLLEGE, AND ITS TRADITIONS. By the Rev. G. R.

THE CHARGES MADE RY DEPUTY CORNEY AGAINST THE POLICE. Alderman WINCHESTEA regretted that he was not pre sent the other day in the Court of Common Council when a very heavy accusation was made directly against the po lice, and indirectly against the magistrates of the City of London, by Deputy Corney. He would, if he had been present, have vindicated the character of the officers from the charge made against them by the Worthy Deputy, who, although he certainly entertained praiseworthy inten tions, made statements which had not the slightest founda tion in fact, at the same time that they impugned the con duct of the whole of the police of the City, and reflected upon men who performed their duty in the most admirable manner.—( Hear.) When he was Lord Mayor he had occasion to witness the conduct of the officers, and he solemnly declared that he did not think that it was possible for any individuals to act better. He considered it to be necessary, on account of the strangeness of the imputation, to advert to a case in which, if it had not been for the prompt, vigilant, and resolute aid of the two Forresters, he could not have accomplished the object of saving the property of several merchants in Belfast to a great amount from being a prey to a pack of swindlers.—( Hear, hear.) He had no wish whatever to interfere with the privileges of the members of the Court of Common Council, but they certainly were, in point of judicial functions, greatly inferior to the members of the,. Court of. Aldermen. He wished the subject to be referred to a Committee, that in quiry might be made whether there was any truth in the allegations, and, as it was the duty of the Court to vindi cate the reputation of the police when an unjust and most injurious stain was cast upon it, he should move that the reference be made to the Police Committee. Alderman T. WOOD hoped that so much importance would not be attached to an accusation so palpably ground less.---(Hear, hear.) Alderman WINCHESTER said that the police felt very sorely the harshness and injustice of the attack, and he should persevere in his motion on their account. The LORD MAYOR Elect said that the motion was quite unnecessary, for so complete were the contradiction and refutation of the charge in the Court of Common Council, that everybody was convinced that a mistake was made in accusing them. Alderman T. WOOD said that the police were wholly unworthy of the charges brought against them, and he ob jected to the motion, because it sounded something like an imputation against them. The Loa . ; MAYOR declared that the men who were vaguely accused of taking blood-money were, to his know ledge, men of the highest integrity, activity, vigilance, and zeal. S U N POLICE INTELLIGEN GUILDHALL. Ogr" P. LAURIE was engaged a considerabitiaine*stettro-43-14,„, day in hear;;_`a charge of assault, comn " v tiAtty - IYr r y'r Peak of Lower Whitecross-street, upon Mh .. M7l;d6it the same pl ace . 44 ZIT Mr. Golden, it appeared, carried on business as a brusia ! maker with great success, employing eleven hands, till be -- thought he could make his forture more rapidly in the United States, that happy land where there is no Court, no taxes, no national debt ; but he soon found out the mir . take, and, returning to England three months ago, was content to resume :his business, with one assistant, in a se• cond floor in Whiteeross-street. Mrs. Golden keeps a cat, and Mrs. Peake, who lodges in the same house, keeps a dog, and it happened that the dog sneaked into Mrs. Golden's apartment last Saturday week, stole the cat's halfpenny worth of meat, and terrified poor puss so much that she flew into her mistress's lap for protection. Mrs. Golden seized a cane, and belaboured the deg, whose Piercing cries alarmed Mrs. Peake ; but before she could fly to its assistance the poor animal was hurled down the staircase, and so much hurt that it W. 7.8 in mercy forthwith Put to death. Mrs. Peake then uttered such threats of taking vengeance, that Mrs. Golden kept her room se veral days, and when she at last ventured down stairs, Mrs. Peake hurled after her a flat iron, a saucepan, and half a pound of soap, but missing fire she seized Mrs. Golden, and tore her gown into little strips. Several witnesses having been heard, Sir•P. LAURIE adjudged Mrs. Peake to pay ss. for the damage done to the gown. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. A GOOD APPETITE.—Joseph Crips, a hungry-looking urchin, apparently about ten years of age, was brought be fore Messrs. CONA NT and Con RTOIS, charged by hi• mother with having robbed her. Alderman WINCHESTER was perfectly satisfied with wha' had been stated on the subject, and withdrew his motion. THE APPROACHING VISIT OF THE QUEEN TO THE CITY. A conversation took place upon the subject of the regu lations for the 9th of November, but it consisted of mere suggestions and recommendations, and nothing definitive was arranged. The mother, a hard-working woman, said the boy pos -1 sessed such an unconquerable propensity to pilfer that she found herself repeatedly reduced to a state of starvation. If she was unlucky enough to leave the money which was to be devoted to the week's food of her family, or which she needed to puiChaeiVef Ittlle stock of street commo dities, within the boy's reach, she was certain to lose it ; nor could she by any means make the boy tell in what manner he had disposed of it. That morning she had missed a couple of shillings, and, well knowing who the thief was, she had called a policeman in and given the boy into custody. Mr. CONANT put some questions to the boy, but the boy maintained a sullen silence, and it was not until a hint was throwl out that a sound whipping would be the reward of his contumacy that he choose to open his lips. Mr. CONANT—WeII, do you choose now to say what you did with the money ? Boy (wiping his eyes)— Bought grub. Mr. CONANT—Grub ; what's that? The Bench were informed that in the St. Giles's classics " grub" was one of the synonimes of " food." Mother—What did you do with the ten shillings you took the week before ? Boy—Spent it in grub, too. Mother—And the five shillings the, week before that? Boy—Had some more grub. Mr. CONANT remanded the boy for a few days to a place where his liking for grub would be confined to a slice or two of dry bread daily. MARYLEBOIVE. Yesterday William Birch, of High-street, Portland Town, was charged on a warrant with assaulting Henry Arundle, a collector of debts. Mr. RAWLINSON ordered defendant to find bail to an swer any charge which might be preferred against him at the Sessions. LAMBETH-STREET.

Shrffield Mercury. DR. WARREN.—Rumours have been afloat for several weeks past to the effect that Dr. Warren, in con sequence of some disagreement between himself and the Association on matters of Church discipline, had retired from the body as an itinerant and salaried preacher, but had offered his services for a year as a local preacher. We have seen a published contradiction to this report.; but from subsequent information we have received, there ap pears to us to be quite us much credence due to the rumour as to the denial. The true state of the case we under stand to be this ; that a'though Dr. War: en has not un qualifiedly tendered his resignation as a Minister in the Association, yet that his position in the body is nearly equivalent to a retirement. It is pretty generally unthr stood, we believe, that he will never again take so active a part as he has done in the affairs of the Association. — Whilst on this subject we may mention that further ru -1 mours are abroad respecting the movements of the worthy Doctor, or of some officious party on his behalf. One is, that wishes have strongly been expressed by certain Me thodist ministers in this town for his return to the bosom of the Old Consiexion, and that overtures have actually been made to him to bring about a reconciliation between him self and his former brethren in the ministry. On these extraordinary on dils we purposely abstain from comment., —Since writing the above we are informed that a pamphlet, from the pen of Dr. Warren, is forthcoming, in which ho endeavours to justify his p artial resignation of the various offices he held in the Association.—Ma:2chester Times. London is the largest and richest city in the world, occupying a surface of thirty-two square miles, thickly planted with houses mostly three, four, and five stories high. It contained in 1831 a population of 1,471,941. It consists of London city, Westminster city, Finsbury, Marylebone, Tower Hamlets, Southwark, and Lambeth districts, In 1834 there entered the port of London 3,786 British ships, 1,280 foreign ships ; 2,6G9 were registered as belonging to it in 1532, with 32,786 seamen. The London Docks cover twenty acres. The two West India Docks cover 51 acres, St. Katharine's Dock covers 24 acres. There at.e generally about 5,000 vessels and 3,000 boats in the river employing 8,000 watermen and 4,000 labourers. London paysibout one-third of the window duty .In England the number of ficuses assessed are about 120,000, rated at upwards of five millioi;.; styling : about one-third are not assessed. The house rental is probably sev en or eight millions, inclu din g taverns, hotels, tiod pub lic houses. The retailers of spirits and beer are upwards of 10,000 ; while the dealers in the staff of life are some. where about a fourth of this n umber. Numbering all the courts, alleys, streets, lanes, squares, places, and rows, they amount to upwards of 10,000 ; and on account of their extreme points, no individual could pass througia them in the space of one whole year.—Britig and Foreign Com mercial Advertiser. Friday, as is the custom of our fishermen, ggreral herring nets were spread in a field near this town, for tiO purpose of drying ; and on the night of the same day a horse, belonging to a person well known 1!). the name of Doctor Gelling, by some mishap or other, found his way into the field, and, finding it covered with nets, was deter mined, it is supposed, to remove the hindrance which pre vented his enjoying the tender grass upon which they WOW spread. Whether the poor animal attempted to move them by his feet or otherwise is not known ; suffice it to say that ha got entangled in the meshy garment, and was found by his owner in this predicament, who was unable, notwith standing all his exertions, to liberate the prisoner. He, , however, came to town for help ; but when the party re. turned they found that poor Dobbin was no more, having fallen a victim to the same instrument of death that our fishermen use in killing a Manx herg, thus proving that the most trifling instrument may produce death as certainly ias the most powerful.—Mono's Herald.

WARWICK AND CLAGGETT'S BANKRUPTCY. A meeting of creditors under the fiat issued against this large American house—the failure since occasioned m uc h excitement the merchants months erahano engaged in the trade w ith the Unoifetem'dvehuicha fe States—was held to-day, for the further pr oo f o f d e b ts , and the d a first dividend on the joint and separate estates. Mr. Sweet, the solicitor, attended on behalf of Messrs. Jackson and Co., of Philadelphia, t o en t er claims the joint estate of the bankrupts for 32,9061., and againstagainst the separate estate of Mr. Warwi c k for 10,4061. The first claim was f o r bill s no;Y in circul a ti on in America, which were drawn in the usual coursc of trade, and which r htamight au nd tn all be paid. In or d er t o secure th e Jacksonfirm of e Co., he (Mr. Sweet) sou g ht t o en t er a c l a i m for due, should any of the bill s no t b e paid. The GOMMlabiuror , . creditors, to fix the dividend meeting as early as possible. He thought the best course would be to delay the de claration of a .dividend on the joint estate till the next regular meeting, in order that inquiries might be made into the subject, admitting the claim for the amount stated, though it was rather irregular. The amount to divide at present (4,0001.) was too small to be of any consequence. Mr. Sweet then applied to be allowed to give in a claim for about 10,0001. against the separate estate of Mr. War wick, on behalf of Mr. Hougan, of Liverpool and New Orleans, on a transaction arising out of these circumstances. On the 21st of September, 1836, Mr. Hougan while in London disposed with Mr. Warwick, who was then sepa rately carrying on business, 50,000 dollars, in shares of the Virginian State Five per Cents., upon condition that a credit was opened in his favour to the amount of 10,0001. The credit was used and bills drawn, which were circulated, but Messrs. Hougan had to provide for the bills, and on applying for the shares they bad been employed by the bankrupt and sold by those who had made advances upon them at a loss of 20 per cent. The application, there fore, was to enter a claim for the amount for which the shares were sold. Mr. Freshfield, the solicitor to the estate, opposed the claim as the bills drawn against the credit were accepted by the firm of Warwick and Claggett. There had not been time yet to investigate the accounts, to ascertain whe ther the claim ought not to be against the joint estate. Mr. Sweet said the letter of credit was given by Mr. War wick, and previOisly to the commencement of the partner ship with Mr. Claggt;tt. The claim was oppose) on behalf of certain principal creditors who have proved against the joint estate. The COMMISSIONER considered it would be better at a private meeting to discuss these objections. He should, therefore propose that a dividend of 2s. Gd. in the pound should be declared on the separate estate, and that the joint dividend should be postponed. • Mr. Whitmore, the official assignee, said a dividend of 2s. Gd. in the pound could be declared on the joint estate, as he had now nearly 9,0001. in cash and good bills. The amount on hand on the joint estate was about 4,0001. The claims and proofs against the joint estate might be 150,0001. but the concerns - of the firm were so intricate that it was not possible to state yet with accuracy the amount of the assets. On the separate estate the claims were 30,0001., but should they even reach 70,000/. or 80,000/., by the es tablishment of the claim offered that day and others, still the dividend of 2s. 6d. in the pound could be paid. The amount of proofs to-day was considerable. A private meeting was fixed to be held on Monday, to discuss the questions relative to the claim just referred to, and to declare the dividend upon the separate estate of Mr. Warwick, upon which, as well as upon that of Mr. Clagget, payment in full, or nearly so, is anticipated. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. GAMMONINO THE FLATS. —Yesterday William Robin son was indicted for stealing a knife, value one shilling, the property of Spencer Gammon. The prosecutor stated that on the 9th instant, the pri soner came up as he was standing at his shop door, and ac costing him in a very friendly and familiar sort of way, said, " How are you, uncle ?" Witness replied, " I'm no uncle of your's ;" upon which the prisoner said, " Oh, you are though ; arn't your name Gammon ?" The CHAIRMAN—He was trying to gammon you. Witness—l told him I had no nephews. He still tried to persuade me he was my nephew ; but he found it would not do, and he went away. Directly he was gone I missed a knife from my shop counter. I followed the prisoner, and saw him enter the shop of a neighbour, and on going in found the prisoner claiming kindred with him also. I asked the prisoner to give up the knife. The CHAIRMAN—Did you search him? Witness—Not I ; I made him search himself —(Laughter) —and he found the knife and gave it up to me. A. poor woman here stepped forward, and said all the clothes the prisoner had on his back were the property of her husband, whom the prisoner called upon, and suc ceeded in convincing he was a near relation to, and, on stating that he was in great distress, obtained a suit of clothes from him. She hoped the Court would make him strip, and give her husband's clothes back to her. The CHAIRMAN could not do that. Prisoner (laughing)—Of course you can't. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. The CHAIRMAN sentenced him to six months' imprison ment and hard labour in the House of Correction.

Original Letters at 39, Broad-street, Bloomsbury. To Mr. Grimstone, Broad-street, Bloomsbury. Ophthalmic Hospital, Chai ing-Cross. SIR, —Perceiving that in one of your bills my name is mentioned in unto r with that of my late patient Mr. Latchfield ' I beg leave to confirm his testimony, and state t he g reat benefit derived by the use of your ex cellent herbaceous eye-snuff in his case, which was one of obstinate chronic ophthalmia, accompanied by opacity of the cornea, and a varicose state of the conjunctional vessels. His case was the first under my notice in which the preparation was used ; but, being struck by the ad vantageous results, I resolved to lay aside prejudices, and advise its use in some cases in my practice at this hospital. The benefit was great, and has led me still further to recommend it, but, unfortunately, the funds of the hospital are low,. and our patients too often cannot afford the purchase of your snuff, it being, from its price, almost as unattainable to the poor as patent medicine would he. if it be not asking too much, could you form any arrangement by which the really_ indigent patients of this institution could be supplied with the eye-snuff at a lower price, on producing a re. commendation to that effect, signed by me. If you could, I would ask you to be so kind as to write to me here on the subject; in doing so you would perform a great act of charity, and the obligat ou ion would be felt, not only by the poor whom you would re lieve, but b y y obedient servant, J. G. GUTHRIE. Mr. Grimstone has complied with the above humane request of Dr, Guthrie Whitehall, March 8, ISI6. to yououws_elneudeg_fm. your r s a th ck e I fe t t hin th k e it g b re u a t t ju b s e t n itee fit th i at i l e sho d u e l r d iy o l r fre m m y Snuff Its most exquisite fragrant compound of herbs, called Eye action on the membrane of the nose causing the lachrymal glandsto discharge in a manner truly surprising, and by th at means so cleansed the cornea, that my Eyes became healthy, semig, and performed t he . ar wonted duties in a manner that 1 have not known the blessing of for six years.

This is most fallacious, for Mr. Van Buren did not enter into detail on the subject, or give any statement of the balance due to Great Britain. The length of the document, no doubt, prevented its perusal by many ; but on reference it will be found that he spoke generally, and made no allu sion to any country. " The consequences of this redun dancy of credit," he said, " and of the spirit of reckless speculation engendered by it, were a foreign debt con tracted by our citizens, estimated in March last at more that 30,000,000 dols." It is, therefore, perfectly plain that the foreign debt of the United States in March last amounted to 30,000,000 dols., and the greater proportion of it was undoubtedly due to this country, although it is quite impossible to ascertain the exact sum, notwith standing considerable pains seem to have taken on this head by Mr. King, one of the representatives of Georgia ; but he is further off than any body, for he sets it down, it is stated, at no less a sum than 110,000,000 dollars. This is perfectly preposterous, and it would indeed be curious to see the data from which he arrived at this result. What ever the debt to England may he, a good portion must have been liquidated, for the exports of specie and bullion from New York to Europe have averaged about 2,000,000 dol lars per month for the last six months, which would make a total, up to the Ist of September, of about 12,000,00 d dollars, and this being deducted from the gross amount of debt, would leave only 18,000,000 dollars. We do not of course pretend that the whole amount of bullion transmitted has been for the discharge of old liabilities ; but the greater portion, we believe, has been so appropriated, and the amount of cotton and other produce sent during the same period for similar purposes has also been considerable, so that it appears only reasonable to regard the amount of specie shipped from America as so much reduced from the foreign debt. Indeed, we believe we are under the mark, for those who have the best means of obtaining the most cor rect information as to the purposes to which these remit tances arc applied, are of opinion that not five per cent. of the amount sent here has come for new purchases. The whole debt due to England amounted in the spring to about 9,000,0001., and at the lowest possible average up wards of one-third of this sum has been liquidated ; but, admitting that the present balance against America is 6,000,0001., in which is included at least 1,000,0001. for credits granted in London for China, East Indies, and other parts, the whole is in a fair way of being cancelled by the coming crops of the United States, if, as there is every reason to believe will be the case, they import but little for some months. Of course the debt due in this county upon American securities is not taken into the account, our remarks being exclusively confined to the commercial debt. The annexation of Texas to the United States is an other subject which engrosses much of the attention of the Americans, both here and in New York, and the feeling generally, we think, is against it, especially as an impres sion prevails that the President is individually in favour of the plan ; and this is of itself is sufficient, at the present moment, for the Opposition to declare loudly against it. Something, however, will no doubt be soon made known on the subject, as the motions of Mr. Adams for copies of the correspondence were carried, with some amendments, which will compel the Executive to lay the different docu ments before the Congress. The debate was short, but very warm, and several members declared that a large portion of the American people would prefer a separation of the Union, to an annexation of Texas to the United States. Some of the recent letters from New York mention that when the correspondence is communicated to the house, it will exhibit a proposal for Texas to form part of the Union, ac companied with a laboured argument in favour of the mea -1 sure, drawn up by the Minister of that republic. "It will further appear, I believe," continues one of the - letters, "that the President, through the Secretary of the State, having expressed his sympathies in favour of the young re. public, and referred to the obligations due from the United States to Mexico, as a nation with whom we are at peace, very cautiously and discreetly declines negotiation on the subject until Mexico shall have recognised the inde pendence of Texas. Papers from Buenos Ayres to the 6th of August have reached the city ; but they are almost entirely occupied with accounts of the preparations making for the war against Peru, in which the Argentine republic takes part with Chili, and in a commercial point of view they are ae. void of interest.

M/IDDLESEX. Messrs. COVENTRY and TAMLYN held courts yesterday, at the Court of Requests, Osborne-street, Whitechapel, for the purpose of revising the lists of the parishes of St. George in the East and Mile-end Old Town, which were adjourmd from the former day. The only case possessing interest was the following, which came before Mr. Tamlyn, relating to the trustees of Beulah Chapel, Commercial -road, whose claims were opposed : Mr. Dunch, one of the trustees, examined---The chapel is freehold. There were originally thirteen trustees. That number has been reduced to eight, two of whom only re ceive the rests and profits. I receive from 30/. to 401. I apply as wal as receive rents. Mr. Turner—ls the pro perty mortgaged ? Mr. Dunch—lt is, for 8001. Mr. Turner—When the outgoing expenses are paid, what sur plus have you ? Mr. Dunch—Frequently a deficiency— (Laughter) Mr. Turner—Who pays the minister ? Mr. Dunch—The trustees, out of the pew-rents and other sources. Hr. Bayles—From endowments ? Mr. Dunch— Yes. Mr. Turner pressed for the production of the trust deed. Mr. Dunch observed that he had not the deed with him, but 'hat he would with much pleasure answer any question int to him respecting it. He would beg to oh ierve that he was a trustee for life, and that he could not removed, except for immoral conduct. Mr. Baylis—Of course, you cannot be a trustee when you are dead—that is what you mean ? Mr. Dunch—Yes. Mr. Turner again pressed fir the production of the deed, observing that Mr. Coventry had decided upon having the deeds before him in ssch cases.

In reply to various attacks which have been made upon the management of the Grand Junction Railway in diffe rent newspapers, the following apparently authorised vindi cation has appeared in a Contemporary : " The Grand Junction Railway, exclusive of its merits as a work unequalled in extent and utility, has solid and tangible claims to the kindly consideration of Birmingham. We need not point to the pecuniary advantages that have already resulted to the town from its opening—to the crowds of strangers that it has attracted hither, and that, too, at a period when, from the unexampled pressure on trade, re tail as well as wholesale, any influx of trade, however trifling was to be received with gratitude. Had inquiry on the subject been instituted, it would have at once been found that the reports circulated in the metropolis to the injury of the railway, were in nearly every instance ground less : that the statements made had seldom any foundation except in the misinformation of the writer ; that instead of any imputation of remissness, the Directors had in reality received, both from the public and the shareholders, the highest commendations. Since the railway has been opened—no further back than July—some fifty thousand individuals have been conveyed, the greater part the en tire length of the line, in a manner altogether unexam pled for convenience, cheapness, and expedition. There have been on a few occasions, a very few, an accidental delay. Still, taking the whole of these into account, the journey from Birmingham to Liverpool has, on an average of trips, fallen short of five hours. If the Directors have been guilty of an error, it goes to this extent, no more— that they calculated the journey at four hours and a half, to which, there is no doubt, it will very soon be reduced. As to the paucity of engines, before that is made a ground of inculpation, it would be well to estimate the difficulty with which a supply of engines is procurable. In Bir mingham, the spot where the steam-engine originated, there is not a single Company or individual competent to the making of a locomotive. It is said the Company ought not to have opened the railway until every point and particular was completed. Who say so ? The pub lic ? Do they count for nothing the high benefit of suoh an undertaking, whether for pleasure or business, that they would willingly have consented to forego it for another six months, and that without the smallest ground of expedi ence or necessity ? Nothing need be said of the thousands that the opening of the railway has added to the funds of the shareholders, though even that circumstance enhances the value of the opening, inasmuch as it will enable the Directors to execute improvements which otherwise they might not have ventured upon."—Aris's Bir»zingham Gazette. The amount of subscriptions to the monument of ' the late Duke of Gordon, is about 2,500/. An American paper gives the following as the sum mary of Louis Buonaparte's opinion on those national mur ders called war : " I have been as enthusiastic and joyful as any one after a victory ; but I also confess that even then the sight of a battle has not only struck me with horror, but even turned me sick ; and now that I am advanced in life I cannot understand, any more than I could at fifteen years of age, how beings who call themselves reasonable, and who have so much foresight, can employ this short ex istence, not in loving and aiding each other, and passing through it as gently as possible, but, on the contrary, in endeavouring to destroy each _other, as if Time did not himself do this with sufficient rapidity. What I thought at fifteen years of age I still think : war and the pain of death, which society draws upon itself, are but organised barba risms, an inheritance of the savage state, disguised .or orna mented by ingenious institutions and false eloquence." Tho American paper adds :—" It was for the poisession of such feelings as are here evinced that Napoleon dispos sessed him of the sceptre of Holland, where bis amiable disposition endeared him to the people whom he governed, and rendered their thraldom less insupportable than the French Emperor intended after the fall of the Nether lands."

" As a great actor 9iin a great stage, Sir Edward Coke can never be uninteresting in men's eyes, and as a lawyer, at least, he will hold sway over the minds of a large class of admirers for gene rations to come. The present work was much wanted to fill up a gap in the shelf of interesting biography and historical sketches; and the style in which it has been brought out gives it a title to rank with the goodliest of that class of octavos."—Court Journal.
